Mike GuarneryKimberley Chamber

On April 2nd, over 100 people representing downtown businesses and building owners, city of Kimber-ley representatives, Kimberley &

District Chamber of Commerce, Tourism Kimberley and local stake-holders attended a special meeting regarding economic and retail issues and strategies.

Don McCormick provided a 50 minute presentation that focused on perceptions of the retail environ-ment. During the presentation, Mc-Cormick informed the audience that during his personal interviews with business owners, some are having excellent years despite issues with

pedestrian traffic in the Platzl. Mc-Cormick’s presentation had a strong focus on the current state of transi-tion that the downtown core is fac-ing, as well as clearly stating the goal of the meeting, to “organize our-selves towards documenting and executing a comprehensive retail strategy.”

The presentation identified that there is a need for a Downtown Busi-ness Association (DBA) that would provide a collective voice for mer-

chants in the area, and execute a forum for discussion, and planning to achieve increased opportunities.

Ideas that were discussed during the question and answer period in-cluded specifying a day in the week where merchants would be open longer to complement the down-town’s dining attractions.

“Restaurants are our anchor.” McCormick concluded during his presentation. With Kimberley hav-ing a 255:1 ratio of people to restau-

rants, it is twice as high as Winnipeg, three times higher than Montreal, and five times higher Victoria.

The Centre 64 audience partici-pated in a 45 minute comment peri-od that covered concerns ranging from logistics of extended hours, foot and motor traffic flow around the Platzl, and how the City’s up-coming branding will promote busi-ness within the Kimberley region.

VICTORIA — Health officials in B.C. are on alert after the latest bird flu outbreak in China has killed six people.

Provincial Health Of-ficer Dr. Perry Kendall says health authorities are working with their federal and internation-al counterparts to keep a close eye on the H7N9 virus.

He says the risk in Canada is low and there have been no reported cases of human-to-hu-man transmission of the virus.

Kendall says surveil-lance systems set up fol-lowing an earlier bird flu outbreak in 2009 and the SARS outbreak are working well, with de-tailed protocols in place to deal with anyone who arrives at a B.C. airport sick.

He says provincial and federal health labs are ready to investigate any new cases of influ-enza and B.C. has a stockpile of antiviral drugs in case the virus spreads beyond China.

The Public Health Agency of Canada has also posted an advisory about the virus for Ca-nadians planning travel to China.

Canadianscontinue to turn to DAILY NEWSPAPERS for breaking news, analysis of the day’s top events and entertaining content, according to the latest NADbank data. “Increased media compe-tition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesn’t change one crucial fact”, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of Genesis-Vizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada. “Daily newspapers offer the same benefi ts they always have: the ability to reach customers quickly. Only with a daily paper are you able to choose to do an ad and run with it in two days, and reach a sizable portion of the population, in a fairly mass, fairly broad and fairly fast way. That’s a set of qualities very few other media can match.”

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.

• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.

• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.

• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.

• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

However, recent studies show that bone loss can start as young as age 30. Commonly referred to as “the silent thief”, osteoporosis can progress without visible symptoms and is often left undetected in the early stages. But it’s not all doom and gloom.

Salus® Floradix FormulaLiquid Iron & Vitamin FormulaTired? You may be Iron De� cient!Why do so many of us constantly feel tired or fatigued? Perhaps the reason is iron de� -ciency, the most prevalent nutrient de� ciency worldwide. Iron de� ciency is the leading cause of fatigue among women between the time of menstruation and menopause. It is estimated that up to 26% of menstruating women are iron de� cient.Women of childbearing age and adolescent girls need to regularly replace the iron that is eliminated through monthly blood loss. The elderly are also at risk because they no longer absorb iron from foods as e� ciently as when they were younger.Regular Price for 500ml + 250ml = $75.59 SALE PRICE: $46.99 SAVINGS: $28.60 Salus® Floravit FormulaYeast & Gluten Free Liquid Iron & Vitamin FormulaFloravit® is a yeast-free, gluten-free liquid iron supplement that is specially formulated for easy absorption and assimilation.

Floravit® is especially important before and during pregnancy, and while breastfeeding.Iron is an essential element for the body.

A project first men-tioned in the B.C. gov-ernment’s 2013 budget in February has turned into a $12 million boon for Cranbrook’s hospi-tal.

On Friday, April 5, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett officially an-nounced a $12 million contribution to help In-terior Health replace the intensive care unit (ICU) at East Kootenay Regional Hospital (EKRH).

It’s 60 per cent of the project’s $20 million cost. The remaining 40 per cent – $8 million – has been funded by the Kootenay East Regional Hospital District board.

“It is my pleasure today to announce the next big thing for EKRH — a new intensive care unit and upgraded elec-trical system,” Bennett said during the an-nouncement in the hos-pital’s lobby, attended by dozens of medical staff, hospital volun-teers and fundraisers, and elected officials.

“All of us are involved in contributing to these improvements: the Hospital Foundation, Interior Health, the B.C. government, volun-teers, and in particular the medical staff. As my father would say, you

Kimberley RCMP say there is no link between two men charged in a Thursday drive-by shooting and the home they shot at.

Overnight between Thurs-day, April 4 and Friday, April 5, police were called to a home on Archibald Street in Kimber-

ley. First at 11 p.m., the inhabi-

tants of the home reported shots being fired at the resi-dence and gave police a vague vehicle description.

Police began to search for the vehicle, but were unable to locate it before the alleged shooter returned to the scene of the incident at 1 a.m.

According to an RCMP statement, police located the suspect vehicle and arrested two men.

On Friday, charges were laid against two 27-year-old men who RCMP said have ex-tensive criminal records.

One man has been charged with discharging a firearm with intent, possession of a weapon

while being prohibited, posses-sion of a prohibited weapon and ammunition, and breach of probation.

The second man was charged with breach of proba-tion.

The pair will next appear in Cranbrook court on Monday, April 9.

Two charged in Kimberley drive-by shootingRCMP say no link between suspects, targeted house on Archibald Street

have taken a sow’s ear and turned it into a silk purse.

“I recall in 2000, Ma-clean’s magazine por-trayed our hospital as the poster child for how bad rural health care was in Canada. Today, this new intensive care unit complements a new ambulatory care ward, new diagnostic imaging centre, new emergency room, new entrance and many new specialists.”

The $20 million proj-ect will consist of a 6,500 square foot ICU with six beds, including equip-ment. The proposed de-sign includes the capac-ity to build a second floor onto the expan-sion at a later date.

About 50 per cent of the project cost will go to upgrading the hospi-tal’s electrical system, according to Todd Mas-tel, Interior Health’s di-rector of business sup-port.

“It’s a rebuild of the electrical backbone in the entire facility, taking the power supply from 208 volts to a 600 volt system, new transform-ers, upgrading the emergency power sys-tem including two new 750 kilowatt generators, as well as making sure we comply with CSA standards for hospitals,” Mastel said during a hospital district board meeting Friday morn-ing.

A request for propos-

als for the ICU’s design will be issued on Mon-day. Construction is likely to start by the end of the year. However, because the electrical work must be carefully scheduled, it will take 36 to 40 months to com-plete, meaning the new ICU ward should open in late 2016.

The hospital district approved its $8 million of funding on Friday morning, just hours be-fore the government an-nounced its $12 million share.

In anticipation of the government funding, the hospital district had already budgeted $2.6 million for the project. On Friday, the board agreed to borrow an-other $5.4 million.

“I want to tell you proudly that we did that with no tax increase as a result,” said hospital district board chair John Kettle.

“This is one of the greatest announce-ments I’ve had the priv-ilege to be involved in,” added Kettle. “We have it today because it was a team effort.

“We handed the ball to Bill (Bennett) and said: sic ‘em. Bring us the money. Today I take my hat off to Bill and say – he brought us the money.”

Dean McKerracher, vice chair of the hospi-tal district board, spoke about the facility as someone who was a pa-tient for four days in the

existing ICU last year.“There was not a lot

of room in there by the time they hook up the machines,” he shared. “There is a great need for this facility and I am

pleased to be part of this announcement.”

Internist Dr. Bill Newsome shared the gratitude of the hospi-tal’s medical staff.

“On behalf of all of

the staff, I am very excit-ed about this new facili-ty. We have all worked shoulder to shoulder in the old ICU. It is going to be a great service to the whole region.”

“This is one of the greatest

announcements I’ve had the privilege to

be involved in. We have it today

because it was a team effort”John Kettle

Garry Anderson, the driv-ing force behind the Canadi-an Museum of Rail Travel and the Cranbrook Archives, Mu-seum and Landmark Founda-tion (CAMAL) will retire on April 30, 2013.

The recipient of many out-standing service awards, in-cluding the Order of Canada and most recently a Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal and the Canadian Museums Asso-ciation’s Distinguished Ser-vice Award, Anderson has dedicated his entire career to preserving local heritage, in-cluding the building of an in-ternationally recognized Rail-way Museum in Cranbrook.

According to CAMAL Board Chair, Jeanette Sissons, Anderson’s professional ca-reer is a record of outstanding dedication and achievement.

“Garry is always quick to acknowledge the help of our board members, volunteers and donors,” explained Sis-sons. “But everyone would say the Museum was Garry’s vision from the very begin-ning, one that he has pursued with a single-minded tenacity for almost 40 years. Without

Garry there would be no Mu-seum or Cranbrook Archives.”

Anderson grew up in Cranbrook. After earning a degree in architecture at the University of BC he returned to the City in 1972 to find a community up in arms about the recent demolition of a number of historic buildings, particularly the local post of-fice. The City hired him to produce a report to find a bet-ter way to manage heritage perseveration, and one of the recommendations was the formation of a local heritage society.

Founded in 1976 and with Anderson first as the volun-teer Chair, and since 1980 as the paid Executive Director, CAMAL set out to create a re-pository of Cranbrook history through preservation of ar-chival material and exhibition

of the City’s rich railway past –all within Museum facility.

“Over the following thir-ty-five years, with Garry An-derson as our conductor, that’s exactly what CAMAL achieved, “said Sissons. “We have a massive archive of Cranbrook history that will be kept safe for generations to come. We are an internation-ally renowned showcase of the golden days of rail travel, both preserving some of our railway heritage and serving as a tourist attraction and in-come generator for our com-munity. And, of course, we have the stunning Royal Alex-andra Hall, reconstructed from one of the key Canadian Pacific Railway Hotels, for local celebrations, weddings and other community events.”

Sissons points out that that rather than winding down his

efforts as he approaches re-tirement, Anderson contin-ues to promote local heritage, recently completing a large Explore Historic Cranbrook Heritage Tour map with 96 local historic listings. 15,000 full-colour copies have been printed for free distribution.

“The Museum is an endur-ing testament of Garry Ander-son’s outstanding effort to protect and honour our past, and for that we will always be grateful. We wish him the very best in his well-earned retire-ment.”

CAMAL will be hosting a private retirement celebra-tion for Garry Anderson at the end of the month. In the in-terim, media are encouraged to contact Mr. Anderson to arrange a time for an inter-view and/or tour of the facili-ty.

Letters to the editoreconomy

Mr. Hills in the April 3 Townsman at-tacks the BC Liberal government’s record on the economy.

B.C. is actually doing very well com-pared to the rest of the world – one of the world’s healthiest economies; jobs created faster than most of Canada; balanced bud-get; AAA credit rating; lowest personal in-come taxes in Canada; low business tax rates; significant growth in take-home pay for working people; strong resource indus-tries. We should all take the time to be aware of our relatively positive circum-stances and what we have to lose by choos-ing the NDP on May 14.

Mr. Hills implies that the NDP have a better record in government than the BC Liberals, so let’s compare. B.C. became a “have-not” province under the NDP; worst economy in Canada; highest personal and corporate income taxes in Canada; zero growth in take-home pay; mining moved to South America. The NDP actually began their failed tenure in government with the strongest economy in Canada and the low-est taxes. This is a pattern for the NDP.

The NDP has never understood that governments must do more than spend tax payer dollars. Governments should use

policy to encourage investment and job creation, so that people are working and businesses are prospering. For example, our government is encouraging the once in a lifetime opportunities in liquefied nat-ural gas that can provide us with thou-sands of great jobs, billions to pay off the provincial debt and add to our quality of life. The NDP refer to this opportunity as a “fantasy” despite the overwhelming evi-dence to the contrary. Why would we risk losing this huge opportunity?

The truth is the NDP is offering change for change’s sake, while hoping voters will not consider the very real risk that taxes will go up, investment will go down and good new jobs will go elsewhere.

The NDP are a threat to the future of British Columbia, not a “change for the better.”

Who is ‘Us’In the Daily Townsman of April 3, 2013,

a question was posed by a letter from Shir-ley Green as to who “us” is in some of Bill Bennett’s campaign ads.

In response, I would like to describe who “us” is:

1. Us is all the people who live, work and recreate in the East Kootenay and are proud of our initiatives and free enterprise economy.

2. Us is the majority of people in the East Kootenay who have voted for Bill Ben-nett in the last three provincial elections as the representative of free enterprise.

3. Us is the people of East Kootenay who want strong representation in Victoria and someone who will stand up for East Koote-nay constituents as Bill Bennett has done.

4. Us is the people of the East Kootenay who want our sons, daughters and busi-nesses to remain in the East Kootenay and not be run off into Alberta by a repressive NDP government like happened in the 1990s.

5. Us are the people of the East Koote-nay who cherish our own style of living and do not merely follow the dictates of lower mainland large labour groups.

That is who “us” is and that is why Bill Bennett is one of us.

Fourteen years ago, scientists devel-oped a genetically engineered version of rice that would promote the pro-

duction of vitamin A to counter blindness and other diseases in children in develop-ing countries. In a few months, the Philip-pines will become the first country to start giving “golden rice” out to its farmers. Ban-gladesh and Indonesia will follow suit soon, and India is seriously considering it.

Good, but 14 years is rather a long time, isn’t it? The number of children in developing countries who went blind from vitamin A deficiency during that time (half of whom died within 12 months of losing their sight) runs into the low millions. (The World Health Organisation estimates that between a quarter-million and a half-million children a year go blind from vitamin A-deficiency.)

“Golden rice” contains beta-carotene, an orange-coloured pigment that is a key precursor chemical used by the body to make vitamin A. Sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach and butternut squash are naturally rich in beta-carotene, but ordinary white rice contains almost none. And rice is the most important food in the diet of about half the world’s people.

So what caused such a delay in getting it out to the farmers? It was created by Peter Beyer, professor for cell biology at Freiburg University in Germany, and Ingo Potrykus of the Institute of Plant Sciences in Switzer-land in the late 1990s, and was ready for field trials by 2000. But the first field trials were delayed for seven years by protests from Greenpeace and other environmental groups, and crossing various regulatory hurdles took another six.

Both the protests and the regulatory hur-dles were based on the notion that geneti-cally engineered plants are “unnatural.” Which automatically raises the question:

which human food crops are actually “natu-ral,” in the sense that you will find them growing wild in nature. Answer: none.

That’s why ecologist Stewart Brand has proposed the phrase “genetically engi-neered” (GE) in lieu of the more common “genetically modified” (GM) on the grounds that ALL domesticated plants have been

genetically modified, by cross-breeding or by blast-ing seeds with radiation. None of them would survive in the wild.

Gene-splicing is just a more efficient and neater way of achieving the same goals. Much of the early op-

position to GE was no more than a supersti-tious fear of the unknown, and there was also genuine concern that it might pose health risks to consumers.

The way that GE crops were first intro-duced was bound to arouse opposition. In 1996 Monsanto, the world’s leading biotech company, began to market GE versions of corn, soybean, cotton, canola, sugar beets and alfalfa that had been engineered to tol-erate glyphosate, a very effective herbicide that the company had been selling with great success as “Roundup” since 1974.

The patent on “Roundup” was expiring in 2000, allowing glyphosate to be made by rival companies. But in practice Monsan-to’s patents on the new GE seeds extended its monopoly for decades more: farmers could buy glyphosate wherever they want-ed, but to use it to best effect they had to buy Monsanto’s herbicide-resistant seeds (called, of course, “Roundup Ready”).

Then Monsanto used relentless lobbying to get its GE seeds through the approval process and out onto the market. It suc-ceeded in North America and most other major grain-growing areas, but not in Eu-rope — and its strong-arm tactics created deep resentment and suspicion in many quarters. A decade and a half later, that still

lingers.But it’s now clear that GE crops pose no

health risk. North Americans have been eating them for 15 years, whereas Euro-peans scarcely eat them at all, but there is no significant difference in disease and death rates that can be linked to GE food.

Meanwhile crop yields have risen dra-matically, herbicide and pesticide use has declined, and no-till farming that cuts car-bon dioxide emissions due to ploughing has become far more common. The oppos-ition to GE crops never came from farmers, and it’s now in steep decline in the general public as well.

There are seven billion of us now, and there will be at least eight-and-a-half billion before the human population of this planet stops growing. Moreover, as living stan-dards rise in most formerly poor countries, diet is changing too and much more meat is consumed. To meet that demand, even more grain is needed.

We are using 40 per cent of the land sur-face of the planet to grow our food. That is already too much, because replacing the complex natural ecology with our mono-crop agriculture removes vital elements from the chemical and biological cycles that keep our climate stable. As environmental-ist Jim Lovelock, the author of the Gaia hy-pothesis, put it: “We cannot have both our crops and a steady comfortable climate.”

But perhaps we could have it both ways if we cut back to, say, 30 per cent of the plan-et’s land surface devoted to agriculture. Or 25 per cent. The point is that we must re-duce the area we are farming, not increase it. The only way to do that is to raise crop yields dramatically. Genetically engineered crops may be able to meet that demand. There are no other proposed solutions on the table.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

After making her hometown debut in the ring a few months ago, Shannon Ryan is look-ing forward to compet-ing again in front of family and friends for the B.C. Golden Gloves boxing tournament this weekend.

Ryan, a 16 year old boxer in Grade 11 at Mount Baker Secondary School, is currently un-defeated in three fights, after stepping into the ring for the first time in the Rumble in the Rock-ies tournament last fall at the Eagles Hall.

Since then, she’s ap-peared in four fights and is undefeated in all

of them—albeit they’ve all been against the same fighter.

Ryan is one of four local fighters with the Eagles Boxing Club hoping to get in a few bouts during the Gold-en Gloves tournament.

However, Eagles Boxing Club coach Bill Watson has yet to set up a match for her, but hopes to get her in the ring if he can get a fe-male boxer for the weekend event.

“It’s just so much more of a thrill when it’s in your own town,” said Ryan. “I’m really excit-ed.”

Ryan’s three fights have been against the same opponent in

American boxer Savan-nah Riggles, who fights with the Flathead Box-ing Club out of Kalis-pell.

“Although I knew she was ready to get in the ring, she didn’t feel like she was ready,” said Watson, “so this year, we managed to get her in the ring for that fight in Cranbrook and her first bout, she took on someone that was older and heavier and we won the fight. It did tons for her confidence and she couldn’t wait to get back in the ring after that.

“The next three bouts were against the same girl. She stopped her twice out of those three bouts and its time

for us to move on.”Ryan has noticed im-

provement in her box-ing, especially on the strategy side of things when she’s in the heat of the moment.

“My first fight, I just threw myself out there and just ran at her,’ said Ryan. “But as the fights progressed, I’ve learned. You can’t just throw your punches or you’re going to get punched back.

“It’s really nice to slow down and be able to think in the ring.”

The B.C. Golden Gloves tournament kicks off on Saturday this weekend at the Cranbrook Curling Cen-tre.

Former Kootenay Ice sniper Max Reinhart made his professional NHL debut with the Cal-gary Flames in front of a home crowd during a 5-2 loss to the Vancou-ver Canucks at Rogers Arena on Saturday night.

Reinhart, who was recalled the same day from the Flames’ AHL affiliate, the Abbotsford

Heat, made it into the starting lineup on the left wing alongside Roman Cervenka and Mikael Backlund.

Reinhart played 16:08 minutes over the course of the game, and logged some power play time at the end of the third period.

Reinhart’s debut in Vancouver was a special moment, as he hails from West Vancouver

and played in front of family and friends. Max’s dad, Paul Rein-hart, is a former NHL defenceman who played with both the Canucks and the Flames over his career in the pros.

Reinhart is still with the Flames and will move to the centre for their next game in Den-ver against the Ava-lanche on Monday night.

Raonic lifts Canada over Italy and into Davis Cup World Group semi� nals

C ANADIAN PRESSVANCOUVER - Milos

Raonic helped take Can-ada where it’s never gone before at the Davis Cup.

Raonic defeated An-dreas Seppi 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 on Sunday and Can-ada advanced to the World Group semifinals for the first time by de-feating Italy 3-1 in their quarter-final tie.

Canada will next face Serbia in the World Group semis in Septem-ber.

Serbia, which fea-tures the world’s top player Novak Djokovic, wrapped up its quar-ter-final tie with the U.S. Sunday when Djokovic defeated Sam Querrey 7-5, 6-7 (4), 6-1, 6-0 to give the Serbs an un-beatable 3-1 lead in the series played in Boise, Idaho.

Team Canada had

never before been to the Davis Cup quarter-finals in the modern era when it accomplished that by upsetting Spain in Feb-ruary.

Roanic’s win ran the Thornhill, Ont., native’s personal winning streak of Davis Cup singles matches to seven straight. His overall re-cord for Canada is now 12-4, 10-3 in singles and 2-1 in doubles.

Canada’s victory over Spain at the same UBC venue in early February was a true upset with Spain ranked No. 1 in the world in Davis Cup - al-though the Spaniards were missing a couple of their top guns. But the win over Italy, on paper at least, was true toss up.

Raonic and Seppi were virtually tied in the world rankings and Ita-ly’s second singles play-

er, Fabio Fognini, held a huge ranking advantage over Canada’s No. 2 Vasek Pospisil. And the doubles - which Canada won in five tense sets Saturday - also looked like a “pick-em” match-up.

But on a deeper level Canada had many things going its way. First, was the home country’s com-fort level with the venue. It was the third tie involv-ing Canada at the UBC arena in the past 13 months.

The semifinal will be played in Serbia where it will be Canada’s oppo-nent’s terms to dictate the terms of battle. Cana-da has actually been in-credibly fortunate in that regards, having been fa-voured with four straight home-soil ties. That string will end in Sep-tember.

Canada falls to Sweden in world curling finalMONTE STE WART

Canadian Press

VICTORIA - Cana-da’s world men’s curling championship reign ended Sunday after three years, but Brad Ja-cobs was still able to put the loss in perspective.

Jacobs’s Northern Ontario rink fell 8-6 to Sweden’s Niklas Edin in the gold-medal game.

“It’s not like we came out and we curled really horrible,” said Jacobs.

“We threw the rock real-ly well. I feel like we curled really well. The ice was a little different. We didn’t catch on to it quick enough. That’s why they’re holding hands (as champions) and we got the silver medal today.”

Edin locked up the win in the eighth end as he stole two points to go up 8-4. After Jacobs pulled within two in the ninth, the Swede was

able to run the Canadi-ans out of rocks in the 10.

“We’re so happy that we could make enough shots in the beginning to get that good start,” said Edin.

Sweden led through-out the game after going up 2-0 early.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t bring our A-game today and we were on the wrong side of the edge,” said Jacobs. “We

didn’t give (fans) much to cheer for.”

Jacobs’s Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., rink had hoped to complete a fourth-place to first-place run after entering the playoff round with two straight losses. The Jacobs rink also fell short in its quest to win the first world crown for a Northern Ontario rink since Al Hackner’s Thunder Bay rink tri-umphed in 1985.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) By midafternoon, you simply can’t be stopped. A change of pace often energizes you. What you can accomplish in a few hours might surprise many peo-ple. A discussion will be directed from the perspective of the oth-er party. Tonight: The world is your oyster. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Use the morning for a meeting or getting an important errand done. Once that matter is han-dled, you’ll feel more relaxed and perhaps like a different per-son. You might want to stop to do some research or return calls. Tonight: If you need some time to yourself, just say so. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. You could be over-whelmed by everything that is falling into your lap. You must handle certain matters directly, but you can delegate different projects to others. You need time to think through a decision. To-night: Chat with a friend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Are you feeling burdened by everything you have to handle? Detach first, and then take a look at a different way of han-dling this overload of responsi-bilities. Organization and prior-itizing might be essential, but don’t hesitate to ask for some much-needed help. Tonight: Up late. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Spend the morning dealing with a situation that keeps getting postponed. By midafternoon, you could feel as if your spirit is free -- you’ll be open to trying anything, within reason. A dis-cussion points to many different opportunities to choose from. Tonight: Go for the moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might be tired of not having a stronger influence in a conver-sation. Decide how to proceed in regard to enlarging your role in your present situation. When you are able to accomplish this, others will appreciate your feed-back. Tonight: Dinner for two. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Get as much done as possible

by midafternoon. You will have an important discussion with a loved one or an associate. Un-derstand what would make you happy. You very well could be just a few steps from realizing exactly that. Tonight: Follow someone else’s suggestion. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Tap into your creativity in the morning. One idea builds from another, and so on. You will come up with a workable solu-tion given some time. Focus on a certain key task or project in the afternoon. You still might gain a new perspective. Tonight: Put your feet up and relax. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be trying too hard to be reasonable, which prevents others from experiencing the excitement of your spontaneity. Being more authentic could move a situation along faster. Later today, your creativity will merge with your impulsiveness. Tonight: Keep it light. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Ask your follow-up questions. You will come out ahead of a situation and be fully aware of

what needs to happen. Your sense of humor helps ease your path, as well as others’. Stick with a certain perspective, and share it with others. Tonight: Head home early, if possible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A quick look at your finances tells you what the problem might be. Discuss the issue with someone in the know. You will know what to do in the after-noon, though you might choose to get different opinions. Only you can decide what would be most effective. Tonight: Join a friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are in your element in the morning. Others respond to your requests. By late afternoon, you might decide to be a little more indulgent. Understand if a friend or loved one can’t join you immediately. Tonight: Do some shopping on the way home. BORN TODAY Musician Julian Lennon (1963), actress Patricia Arquette (1968), baseball catcher Gary Carter (1954) ***

Dear Annie: I am a 44-year-old guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. I met “Lisa” two years ago. I was fresh out of a divorce. Lisa was in terrible shape. Her mother had just died, and shortly after, she lost her fiance in a traffic accident. Then she moved back home to take care of her ailing father. It was love at first sight for me. But Lisa nev-er fully grieved over her fiance. She told me he was her “soul mate,” and that she would never love another man the way she loved him. I told her I have all the patience in the world and would be there for her through her grief and sorrow. I knew she needed to deal with this in her own way, which included get-ting his name tattooed on her back. Again, I was patient and understanding. Lisa’s family began inviting me to their home. But her family had been exception-ally close to her fiance and began posting things on Facebook to remind Lisa of him. It finally reached the point where I had to say something, and I talked to Lisa’s cousin. I said posting such things keeps the fiance’s mem-ory fresh in Lisa’s mind, which doesn’t help her heal. I asked the cousin to please get the family to stop doing this. Well, my request got back to Lisa, who became hostile and nega-tive toward me. She broke things off. Annie, I love Lisa with every ounce of my being. Was I wrong to speak up? -- Lonely and Still in Love Dear Lonely: You meant well, but talking to Lisa’s cousin was inappropriate and ap-peared as if you were going behind her back and being controlling. Lisa has had a rough time. Regardless of what her family was post-ing online, she wasn’t ready to get back into the dating pool. It’s also likely that she will always connect you to this unfortunate time. Please move on. This ship has sailed. Dear Annie: I am an adopted 14-year-old and an only child. I would like to get in touch with my biological family. Everybody tells me to wait until I am 18, but I feel I should be able to contact at least one biological parent. From what my adoptive mom tells me, I have an older brother. I was also told that my parents tried to find my biological father, but out of the five names listed on the adoption papers, none of them matched. Is there any way to contact my family? Even if I can’t find my mom, is there a way I could find my brother and speak with him? -- Ad-opted in Arizona Dear Arizona: Please do not do this without the support of your family. Finding biological parents and siblings is not always the joyful reunion you dream of, and sometimes things don’t turn out well. It also can be hurtful to your adoptive parents if your relationship with them is undergoing changes, as it often does during the teen years, and you think your biological family will be “better.” There is a reason reputable organizations insist that you be 18 or older to search. Please ask your parents for help with the International Soun-dex Reunion Registry (isrr.org). Dear Annie: “Pining for Rome” complains, “The foods and pastimes that I’ve become fond of are nonexistent in America.” Non-sense. Granted, she may not see games of bocce ball going on in the local park or find abbac-chio brodettato on the menu at Denny’s, but in this global world, all the things available in Rome are available in the USA. She can go to an Italian market, buy a good Italian cook-book and learn to make gallina alla vernaccia herself. Many Italian markets also sell bocce ball sets, so she could start her own games. -- Second-Generation Italian Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

GORDON, Ian Michael

August 21, 1942 - March 27, 2013With sadness in our hearts, the family of Ian Michael Gordon announces his sudden passing on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 while on vacation in Hawaii at the age of 70 years. Ian leaves behind in mourning his loving wife of nearly 49 years, Cathy (nee Burns); his daughter and son in law Deb and Phil LeLievre; his son and daughter in law Glen and Laura Gordon and his grandchildren Erin and Jake Gordon and Evan LeLievre as well as family and friends the world over.

Ian was born in Cranbrook, BC to James and Ann Gordon. Along with his four brothers (Dennis, Jack, Alan, Jim) and two sisters (Noreen, Mary), Ian was raised in a loving family filled with faith, fun and an appreciation of the great outdoors. From an early age, fishing, hunting and hockey were passions Ian both excelled at and enjoyed his entire life. Like his dad and all his siblings, Ian was a prolific story teller with a memory for events and detail that made his stories, while sometimes long, never dull. Edgar Allan Poe said, “To observe attentively is to remember distinctly”. That was Ian. Ian’s plans for a career in forestry changed quickly when on a chance trip to Calgary in 1961, he found himself enrolling in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Ian earned his pilot’s wings in 1969 and began an incredible journey that would take him around the world several times. He flew into nearly every continent in the world and loved every country and learning about their culture and people. His biggest beef with the Cold War was that it prevented him from going into and meeting people in the eastern block countries. His slide shows after his trips were epic. If you paid attention, you’d learn far more watching and listening to his stories then you ever could in a history, geography, or political science class. Flying Queen Elizabeth II in 1977 was an especially poignant trip. After more than 28 years in the RCAF (Ian was never a huge fan of unification and the term Canadian Armed Forces), he moved on to fly commercial charters and soon after landed his second career as an Aviation Instructor at Selkirk College in Castlegar, BC. He had perhaps his biggest career impact during those 12 years sharing his excellence and passion for flying with so many young pilots. Ian loved and respected his students and the feeling was mutual. After retirement in 2002, Ian and Cathy moved to Airdrie to enjoy life near their children. Ian’s last decade on earth was spent doing the things he loved most including continuing to follow and assess world events, relaxing with his family, traveling, fly fishing with the best of the best, and doting on his three, in his words, “incredible” grandchildren. He was a lucky man. He was a wonderful man. Clear skies and smooth flying Ian. You will be missed.

A Celebration of Ian’s Life was held at FOSTER’S GARDEN CHAPEL, 3220 - 4 Street N.W., Calgary (across from Queen’s Park Cemetery) on Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family via the website www.fostersgardenchapel.ca. If friends and family so desire, a donation may be made directly to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 200, 119-14 Street, N.W., Calgary AB T2N 1Z6.
