Kimberley and Marysville residents are advised that the Water Quality Advisory posted in April is still in effect. Residents of Kimberley, Forest Crowne, Marysville, Kim-berley Golf Course, Riverside Campground, River Bend Lane, River Bend Road, River Ridge Way, Tamarack Lane and Sunflower Drive are under the Advisory.

With turbidity fluctuating during the spring runoff, residents can expect the Advi-sory to continue for the foreseeable future.

An Advisory is not a boil water notice. An Advisory follows Interior Health recommen-dations that children, the elderly and per-sons with weakened immune systems drink boiled water when turbidity levels are above 1 NTU. Turbidity levels in both the Mark Creek and Matthew Creek systems are cur-

rently on the low end of the Good to Fair range. Mark Creek’s average reading this month is 2.9. Above 5.0 is considered poor. All Kimberley residents were switched over to the Mark Creek system in April. The Mat-thew Creek supply is not currently in use.

Water quality is considered to be good when turbidity levels are less that 1 NTU, fair when between 1 to 5 NTU and poor when greater than 5 NTU.

Turbidity is a water quality term that re-fers to the relative clarity of water. Turbidity occurs when fine suspended particles of clay, silt, organic and inorganic matter, plankton, and other microscopic organisms are picked up by water as it passes through a watershed. These particles have the poten-tial to carry contaminants and disease.

City crews check turbidity daily and posts the result on its website, kimberley.ca.

Boil Water Advisory continues for all residents

Saturday, May 10, noon to 2 p.m., Triangle Park, Townsite

On May 10, people across Canada will get together for a national day of action on cli-mate change. The Defend our Climate, De-fend our Communities movement is in its early days, but aims to broaden the conversa-tion on climate change as decisions on pipe-lines loom on the horizon.

Last year about 130 communities across Canada hosted events and this year, Wildsight is inviting the community to a block party at Triangle Park in Townsite. The event is a sim-ple potluck lunch. Bring a potluck dish, your own drinks, dishes and cutlery to the park from noon until 2 p.m.

Organizer Ilona Hale says that Canadians are rallying again to push their government to get on board with the global transition to re-place fossil fuels with clean energy — and to keep the planet’s climate safe for future gener-ations.

Marysville students connect

with elders at Garden View

For the Bulletin

Over the course of the 2013-2014 school year, a wonderful con-nection has been creat-ed between the Kinder-garten students at Marysville Elementary School and the residents of Garden View Village.

Kindergarten teach-ers Natasha Burgess and Crystal Scott began the school year with a vision for an Intergenerational Classroom in Kimber-ley. These teachers were inspired by successful programs running in In-vermere and Golden. They partnered with community manager LeeAnn McDonald and resident advisor Kathy King to create a program at Garden View Village that would be beneficial to both the children and the elders.

The focus of the pro-gram is to promote con-nectedness between generations through story-telling, crafts and time spent together. The Marysville Kindergarten classes alternate weekly in attending Garden View Village on Wednes-day mornings. There are 18 students going each week, with a total of 36 students involved in the program. 80 residents currently live in Garden View Village; however, the children usually

have the opportunity to interact with 12-18 el-ders on a weekly basis. The interactions and connections between the seniors and the stu-dents have been incred-ible to witness, and the teachers at Marysville Elementary School be-lieve that this program has been mutually ben-eficial.

Kindergarten teacher Natasha Burgess says, “The sights and sounds around the table as the children and their se-nior friends interact are amazing. Joy radiates through the room as we watch twinkling eyes and smiling faces, and listen to the musical sound of laughter”.

As this is an ongoing project, there have been a number of costs asso-ciated with running the program, including bus-sing and supplies. The Kindergarten teachers are very thankful to a gracious donation of $1000 from the Kimber-ley Elks Club and a $300 donation from the Kim-berley Iota Alpha chap-ter of Beta Sigma Phi. It is support from local or-ganizations such as these that enable new initiatives and connec-tions across generations. The Kindergarten class-es at Marysville Elemen-tary School will contin-ue this project in years to come, and look for-ward to further fostering strong relationships amongst the communi-ty members of Kimber-ley.

Santa Fe Metals con-tinues to explore the possibility of a Sullivan Mine type deposit near Fort Steele.

Company president Scott Broughton said this week that drill hole SU14-07 had reached a completion depth of 1289 and had confirmed the presence of the type of host rocks in “Sullivan time” that suggest the type of gravity mass being sought. Brough-ton says a new drill hole will begin immediately on a trajectory to inter-sect the East Target at approximately 900 m below surface.

“SU14- ‐07 revealed that Aldridge Formation unit A1c is the likely host to the East Target — this directly cor-relates with the stratig-raphy that hosts the Sul-livan orebody, 30 kms to the west of Sully. Al-dridge units A1a (low-est), A1b and A1c were deposited on the Fort Steele Formation and all four units correlate with the lower Aldridge Formation at Sullivan and elsewhere in the basin. A marked thick-ening of A1c in SU14- ‐07 implies proximity to an accumulation centre of an inferred sub- ‐basin assemblage. With-in this thickening is a 50 m interval containing traces of lead, zinc and

copper sulphides and unusual thin silica beds thought to be derived from hydrothermal solutions associated with formation of a min-eral deposit.

“The East Target is one of two gravity mass anomalies estimated to come within 800- ‐m of surface, and extending to depth. Coincident magnetic anomalies re-inforce the positioning of the large- scale gravity masses also estimated to be approximately 800 m apart. Management believes the best expla-nation for the twin grav-ity anomalies is the presence of two very large vertically oriented SEDEX massive sul-phide bodies,” Brough-ton said.

This is not the first time a search has been undertaken for the other half of the Sullivan ore-body. It is generally ac-knowledged that the large deposit that fed the Sullivan Mine in Kimberley for a hun-dred years appeared to have been sheered off, or cut in half. Broughton himself, and the project geologist Paul Ransom, were involved in the Sullivan Deeps drill pro-gram in the Mark Creek watershed several years ago. That program drilled several deep holes but although it reached target, it did not find the mass the team was looking for.

LEGION POETRY CONTEST RECOGNITION. Congratulations to Selkirk grade 8 student Jason VanZyl for finishing first in the region in the Legion Poetry Contest for his poem titled SPARK. Lee Radcliffe from the Legion came to the school to congratulate Jason. Jason then had the opportunity to read his poem (see below) in front of the school.

From Page 1“We in Canada have a choice – to help lead this

new reality or to lose out” said Wildsight’s Ilona Hale, “but our federal government is trying to bet our economy on boom-and-bust dirty energy proj-ects that pollute the water and climate while piping the profits out of our communities.”

“We encourage everyone to walk or bike to the party if possible to keep it carbon neutral” added Hale. Wildsight will have climate change informa-tion and will be hosting a letter writing campaign to urge our government to defend our climate.

On Tuesday after-noon, Fish Culturist Chad Fritz stood in water up to his waste in Jim Smith Lake holding a large diameter water pipe, live fish and water gushing out the end. The long pipe extended

from the back of the Kootenay Fish Hatchery truck and the rainbow trout shooting into the lake measured more than 20 centimetres.

“These are just over a year,” Owen Schoen-burger, assistant man-ager at the Kootenay Trout Hatchery, said of the trout. “They are clas-

sified as spring catch-able. They are about 15 months old.”

The released fish swim around confused at their new surround-ings. Some flop onto the land and have to be put back into the water, while others look as if they don’t know where to go. Slowly the hun-

dreds of fish disperse to find adventure and snacks in deeper waters.

This week, the fish hatchery stocked Jim Smith Lake with 1,000 Rainbow Trout, those will add to the 2,400 that were let free in the lake back in the fall of 2013.

Prior to that, Jim Smith had not been

Fish Hatchery stocking lakes this spring

stocked since 2002. The rainbow trout

that were put in the lake are Fraser Valley Spring Cachables, explained Shoenburger. They are a sterile strain that don’t reproduce.

“The majority of the fish we stock are non-reproducing,” he said. “It’s mainly to pro-tect any wild stocks. These can’t breed with them.”

These fish put all of their energy into growth, unlike fish that reproduce, which later in life divert their ener-gy into breeding.

Later in the summer, Forests Lands and Nat-ural Resource Opera-tions will assess the fish population in the lake to see how its fairing.

The fish released in the fall were marked by the hatchery, while this batch was not, so the ministry will be able to tell how the former batch is doing.

He said since Jim Smith was not stocked with trout for a number of years because of a presence of perch and bass, but the ministry now wants to attempt to create a population of rainbow trout in the lake.

He said it was felt that the trout couldn’t compete with the perch and the bass that were in the lake, but that no-tion has changed.

The fish hatchery is a part of Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, which was created back in 2003. The society is North America’s only private, non-profit fish-eries service funded by fishing licence reve-nues. The Kootenay Fish Hatchery is one of five freshwater fish hatcheries managed under the society.

Every year the hatcheries raise and re-lease over 8 million trout, char and kokanee

salmon, as well as man-aging recovery pro-grams for endangered species like white stur-geon.

Leanne Jones, office manager at the local hatchery, said the hatchery stocks about 1.2 million fish around the Kootenays. Jones said they stock cut-throat trout, brook trout Kokanee salmon.

This year, they have already stocked many lakes in the area, in-cluding Peckhams, New Lake, Northstar, Moyie, Premier Lake, Wapitee and a number of others. Some of those stocks are catchable size, while some are younger smaller fry.

Jones said the hatch-eries get information from FLNRO on which lakes to stock based on angler demand and the fish population. Prior to 2003, the hatcheries were under the provin-cial government.

A Cranbrook photog-rapher has returned to Cranbrook after finish-ing a whirlwind tour of 84 different countries as the official photogra-pher on the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour.

Joel Robison left Cranbrook last fall on the trip of a lifetime after landing a dream job with Coca-Cola, the sponsor of the tour.

Over nine months, Robison journeyed around the world ac-companying the World Cup trophy to almost every continent, includ-ing more than 20 Carib-bean islands, 12 Asian countries, and 16 stops in Europe.

He landed back in Cranbrook last week for a short stay until mid-June, when he will travel to Brazil, for the World Cup, working on a grass-roots football program run by Coca-Cola in 60 countries.

“We will be inviting over 120 young football players from 24 coun-tries to Sao Paolo to par-ticipate in a week long football skills camp and will be taking them to see the opening match of the 2014 FIFA World Cup! I will be resuming my role as photographer and social media lead on this project and will helping a team of pho-tographers and the play-ers themselves tell their own individual stories through photographs and social media,” said Joel.

But first, Joel has a few weeks to reflect on his experience and ap-preciate how travel has changed him.

“I think that we are fortunate in Cranbrook to grow up with a strong sense of community and togetherness that sometimes gets lost in bigger cities. Coming from a smaller town

gave me a chance to see the world as such – a community where we are more alike than dif-ferent and gave me a chance to see those in each country for who they were,” he said.

“There were a lot of times when we were in cities of 10, 15, 20 mil-lion where I felt totally overwhelmed and it was incredible to know that in one city there were that many people. But it was exciting to see how even in those cities, there were things that united people there to people in other places.”

Joel’s first steps in photography were shot in Cranbrook Commu-nity Forest, and he said he missed those forays into nature during the tour.

“I really missed the connection to nature that we are so fortunate to have here. It was diffi-cult to get out and feel that renewal that I per-sonally get when I’m outside in the Commu-nity Forest or on the North Star Trail. I missed the little things like cinnamon buns from Max’s Place and the familiarity that

‘home’ has, but I knew that those things would be there when I came back.”

Over the course of his nine-month experi-ence, Joel has collected a bunch of memories that will stay with him forever.

“I think that my life changed for the better,” he said. “Each of the places we went to left an imprint in my mind and heart and the people who shared their stories, their lives and their countries with us helped me to feel more con-nected to the world and to myself.”

He remembers meet-ing a young orphan in Haiti who was brought to see the trophy. The little boy took a liking to Joel and stuck with him for the afternoon.

“He asked a lot of questions about my camera, about Canada and then suddenly out of nowhere told me, ‘I have no sister, no broth-er, no father and no mother. And it’s sad, re-ally sad.’ My heart broke and I just didn’t even know what to do. His face and his story have hung in my mind every

day since and have been a constant reminder to be more compassion-ate, to give back and to appreciate what I have.”

The scariest experi-ence was in Palestine, he said, when the crew had to be evacuated from their hotel room as tear gas and shots were fired over the wall be-tween Israel and Pales-tine.

“Getting grabbed and basically thrown in-side a random car was the first time I thought that maybe I could actu-ally be in trouble during this trip,” said Joel.

He said that he saw in joy in thousands of faces during the tour in every country he visited.

“Genuine happiness was something that I saw in every single place we went to. Whether it was happiness being around the trophy, hap-piness at seeing the (Co-ca-Cola) plane, happi-ness while being with friends or just happiness to be in the sunshine, it was such a great feeling to walk around each country and find some-one with an infectious smile.”

As well as the touch-

ing stories, Joel picked up some mementoes from around the world – some by accident, such as about 20 elec-tronic hotel keys, and some on purpose, such as currency from almost every country he visited, and a pen he bought in Bosnia that was made from a bullet found on

the street during the war in Sarajevo.

This summer, bud-ding Cranbrook photog-raphers will have the opportunity to learn from Joel during a free workshop. Along with three fellow photogra-phers from across North America, Joel will travel Canada and the U.S. this

summer teaching a se-ries of photography workshops. The Cran-brook event will be held in August; visit www.thewildonestour.com for more information closer to the date.

THURSDAY, MAY 8, 2014

It wasn’t what you would call the most favorable week for old white racist men. Then again, these weeks, not many are. How bad did it get for ancient intol-erant caucasian males? Bowling ball dropped on your little toe from a height of nine feet bad. Brazilian soc-cer stampede bad. Donald Trump testifying at your rent-hearing bad.

First, Cliven Bundy, the Nevada rancher who patri-otically refuses to pay graz-ing rights on government land, tried to stretch his 15 minutes of fame a few microseconds too long, expanding his realm of influence into the field of behavioral sciences by buttonholing a New York Times reporter: “I want to tell you what I know about the Negro.” He proceeded to execute a won-derful performance piece from a 1870s traveling minstrel show. Al Jolson would have been proud.

But, alas, the grizzled xenophobe de-nied any ironic context and the hemming and hawing that followed would have kept sewing circles in the state of Iowa busy for month. Even his posse of right wing militia supporters disappeared like dew on the sun.

Then, Donald Sterling, owner of the

Los Angeles Clippers, was acknowledged to be the voice of an audio recording so racist, it made Mr. Bundy sound like the recipient of an NAACP Lifetime Achieve-ment Award. An award about to be be-stowed on the exact same NBA owner of

which we speak. For the 2nd time. You can’t make stuff up like this.

Since African-Ameri-cans make up 76 percent of professional basketball players, and figure promi-nently in the marketing and as consumers, you

could say the NBA’s brand new commis-sioner, Adam Silver, (yes, it’s a Sterling- Silver thing) was encouraged to take swift action. You could also say carpet tacks make lousy dessert topping.

He banned the team’s owner from at-tending any games or entering any Clip-per facility or participating in any busi-ness decisions of the Clippers or NBA. For life. Hope the guy lives to be 110.

He’s even prohibited from using the word clippers. From now on, the Sterling household will only stock nail- trimmers and beard- scissors in their medicine cab-inet. “Remember Shelly, it’s my money holder. Not a clip.” For life.

When will everybody realize this whole

black/white thing is plain ridiculous? No-body’s white. If we were actually white, we’d scare the bejesus out of each other. People would take to carrying around garlic and crosses and wooden stakes to wave and stab. Even albinos are an off- white. Beige. Tawny. Ecru. Eggshell. Des-ert Stone. And if you ever run into any-body who’s the same hue as that flesh colored Crayon in the big box of 88, be afraid. Be very afraid.

Conversely, no one’s truly black. If they were really black, they’d be absorbing light and we’d keep bumping into each other. Hell, the NBA Finals would be a blur. “And there’s David Lee and a bunch of other guys. I have no idea what’s going on. It’s up. It’s in. Yes!”

Although some founding fathers found support for their exclusionary views in the Bible, prejudice has always been hard to rationalize. Pre- schoolers know that if you take the time to get to know someone, you’ll discover a thousand reasons to loathe and despise them. On an individu-al basis. Prejudice people are just plain lazy. And stupid. Lazy and stupid and smell like ham butts. Without the ham.

Letters to the editorWith gratitude

We would like to extend our deepest and sincerest gratitude to all of the doc-tors, nurses and staff of East Kootenay Regional Hospital, including Drs. Davis, Wik and Sawatsky, Dr. Meyers, Lisa Doug-las and Sandra of the hepatology unit in Calgary; all of whom displayed profes-sionalism, dedication and compassionate care in helping our mother and wife, Car-mela Rossi.

Furthermore, we would also like to ex-tend our appreciation to all of the visitors, volunteers from the Catholic Church, Co-lombo Lodge, Cranbrook Hospice Society, especially our friend Pina, for the joy they brought to our mother and wife, while she was ill.

To all of our mother’s friends and rela-tives, both in Canada, and in Italy, we would like you to know how much your love and support have helped our family through this difficult time. Words cannot express how much your acts of kindness have touched us. We would also like to extend our gratitude to our Zia Mela Batti, our aunt, who has helped our mother and father, our dear friends Comare Maria Ammaturo and Anna Maria and Giacomo Scavo; thank you.

Lake floodingJust what is happening with Elizabeth

Lake?When I left for a trip to the UK two

weeks ago the lake was already experienc-ing some major flooding issues. On my return two days ago I had anticipated see-ing this problem solved. I was very sur-prised to see things were no better and now the level was at a height equal to, or greater than, when I had left. I also made the wrong assumption that the City would have put a notice in the Townsman letting the citizens know what was going on and what the plan was to solve the problem. A check of the two weeks’ worth of papers quickly showed no information had been released by the City. A check of the City webpage also showed that the City hadn’t used their own media to let us know what is going on.

On my visit to the flooded area I found three large pumps attempting to get some of the water past a culvert under Wattsville Street. I am not an engineer but it was very clear to me that the level of water on the southern end of the culvert was consider-ably higher than the level of water on the northern end. Science tells me that if there is free flow of water between the two ends of the culvert then the water levels should be equal. To my uneducated eye it certain-ly appears that the culvert is not doing its job successfully and this has led to the rise in water in Elizabeth Lake. It appears that this culvert is causing a bottleneck to the flow of water by being plugged, being par-tially plugged, being collapsed or just plain undersized. It looks as though the City agrees with this theory as they are at-tempting to pump down the lake water, bypassing this culvert in the process.

I imagine the citizens are putting good tax money into the fuelilng and renting of these three large pumps which appear to be somewhat ineffectual at attaining their intended result. I have to ask the ques-tions … what is the problem with this particular culvert, and what long-term plan does the city have to solve this prob-

lem? If the solution is to clean or replace the culvert, why has the City not chosen to do it now when it would be most benefi-cial? The road is already closed to traffic and a fix could prevent further flooding scenarios in the future.

The historic record shows that Smith Creek followed a path above ground from the area of Elizabeth Lake to join Joseph Creek and in the process virtually cut the town in half. In 1929 the City Fathers rec-ognized it was a problem and purchased a pipe-making machine, set it up in the skating rink, and went on to produce a total of 4,900 feet of 30 inch concrete pipe and thus moved the creek underground. If the City in 1929 is able to achieve this major feat, surely we should be able to solve a few metres of culvert problem under Wattsville Street?

What is perhaps more important was that the Council in the 1930s kept the citi-zens well informed as to the piping pro-cess. Our present Council appears unwill-ing to let us know what is going on. The locals living by the lake tell me they warned the city that there appeared to be a problem with this culvert WELL before there was actually any flooding taking place.

So please tell us what’s going on and what solution the City plans on putting into place.

transport system can handle bitumen

Re: Columns by David Black, ‘The greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime’ (April 22) and ‘The Kitimat refinery proposal: safe pipelines, light fuels and B.C. jobs’ (April 23).

Continued safe marine and pipeline transport of hydrocarbons is in every-body’s interest so Canadians can realize value for resources and oil producers can continue to deliver jobs and economic benefits. No one wants a spill of any prod-uct at any time.

The performance track record over the past 50 years is good, but even still, work is ongoing to improve prevention and en-sure producers, transportation companies and spill-responders have the best infor-mation available to manage products safely and make the best plans possible for response, containment and clean-up in the event of an incident.

Black’s articles incorrectly suggested the Canadian oil industry is not interested in the proposed refinery project and that transporting diluted bitumen is more risky than transporting other types of oil be-cause of its chemical properties.

Fact is, oil producers are seeking in-creased access to existing and new mar-kets – in Canada, the United States and internationally – to satisfy market demand for increasing Canadian oil production. All options to achieve that goal are worthy of study.

And diluted bitumen – oil sands bitu-men diluted with natural gas liquids that allow it to flow – is no more dangerous than other types of crude oil.

Chemically, there’s nothing about di-luted bitumen the transportation system cannot be prepared to manage. Whether it moves by pipelines or tankers, diluted bi-tumen meets all the same specifications and behaves the same as other crude oils.

Oil floats on water if it has an API grav-

ity above water’s 10 degree API gravity. Diluted bitumen has an API gravity of 20-22 degrees. Any type of oil spilled in water, eventually “weathers” and can be driven below the surface by waves or cur-rents. Diluted bitumen behaves the same way.

There have been several scientific stud-ies completed on diluted bitumen. Earlier this year, the federal government released a research study that demonstrated dilut-ed bitumen floats on salt water – even after evaporation and exposure to light.

The study was commissioned by Envi-ronment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Natural Resources Canada as part of the government’s plan to imple-ment a world-class prevention, prepared-ness and response regime for marine transportation. Results of the study will be used to inform spill responders and help guide more research.

Our industry is focused on responsible development of Canada’s resources. We welcome transparency on our safety and environmental performance, based on sound science.

As producers, we transport oil with care and attention at all times. We expect all transportation providers to deliver safe services in a responsible manner.

daffodilsOn behalf of the Canadian Cancer So-

ciety, I would like to thank the community of Kimberley, Ta Ta Creek and Wasa for supporting Daffodil Month during April.

Every three minutes, another Canadi-an is faced with a cancer battle. It’s likely the disease has affected almost everyone in this area, be it a personal diagnosis or that of a loved one. By wearing the daffo-dil pin in April, residents of Kimberley collectively stood together to show peo-ple living with cancer they are not alone in the fight.

With the support of our volunteers, donors and community partners, the Ca-nadian Cancer Society is leading the charge in the fight against all cancers – of which there are more than 200 different types. Each and every day, we are working hard to accomplish our mission of eradi-cating cancer and enhancing the quality of life of those living with the disease.

We do this by funding the most promis-ing cancer research, offering vital support to those living with cancer, and trying to prevent cancer in the first place by educat-ing Canadians about early detection and advocating for healthy public policies.

Thanks to the generosity of donors and volunteers, we anticipate the Daffodil Month has raised almost $1,500. In BC this initiative will raise $5 million, which will have a substantial and important impact in our fight for life.

The Canadian Cancer Society’s contin-ued impact in the fight for life would not be possible without the generosity of our volunteers, donors and community part-ners in Kimberley, Ta Ta Creek and Wasa.

We are very grateful for your support and wish to thank you for joining us in the fight for life. Together, we can change can-cer forever.

Menopause is not a disease, it is a natural process that may require some therapeutic support. A common medication given for menopause is hormone replace therapy (HRT). Women report that they still have symptoms, like hot � ashes, years later even after being on this treatment and that could be because it is not individually assessing the underlying hormonal imbalance that may be occur-ring. If not used appropriately, hormone replacement therapy may increase the risk of blood clots and breast cancer, however, it may help to prevent osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease and may be necessary in some women. Bio-identical hormones are an alternative to conventional HRT that are biochemically identical to the hormones that the body produces. These can be made into a custom formula to treat the exact imbalance that is occurring in the body.Not all women experience a hormone imbalance related to a lower amount of estrogen. In some cases progesterone, cortisol and testosterone may also be out of balance. Salivary hormone testing is a great way to identify hormone imbalances and speci� cally treat what is happening in each individual woman’s body. Salivary hormones can be a more accurate representation of which hormones are actually getting into the tissues and not just what is transiently in the blood. Naturopathic medicine can help support women during this time and help prevent and reduce symptoms. It has been shown that increasing exercise causes a decrease in symptoms associated with menopause like hot � ashes. It is also important to reduce alcohol, caffeine and smoking as these all increase symptoms. Adding ground � axseeds and organic soy to the diet daily can help manage symptoms especially hot � ashes. Flax-seeds offer � ber which can bene� t the digestive system, help lower cholesterol and detoxify hormones. Soy can be a very polarizing topic, but a recent study showed soy to have a protective effect against the recurrence of breast cancer and research consistently shows soy to be bene� cial in hormone balancing if added to the diet in moderation. Soy is a complete protein source which means it offers all the amino acids or building blocks that are needed for proper cellular function. Examples of soy products are soy beans, tofu, soy milk, edamame and tempeh. It is important for soy to be organic as it is heavily sprayed with pesticides as well as it being a crop that is highly genetically modi� ed. Soy is also not for everyone as some people can have a food sensitivity to it. These are only a few very simple diet and lifestyle treatments that can be effective and there are many other supplements and herbs that have been studied showing bene� ts in menopause. If you are interested in these treatments, testing or other herbal medicines that could help with your menopausal symptoms please consult with a Naturopathic physician or book an appointment with us today.

The Dynamiters were proud to announce the signing of three local hockey players at the Bull-A-Rama. Jesse Wallace of Kimberley and Cranbrook boys Matt Barzilay and Trevor Van Steinburg, all 17-year-old forwards, have been signed for

the 2014/2015 season. With players from last years

team moving on to university, college and other levels of hockey, it is always great to get a few more local kids committed to the team.

The off-season is very busy with focus on recruiting new players for the upcoming sea-

son. New this year will be the Dynamiters Spring Hockey Camp, to be held May 23, 24 and 25 at Father David Bauer Arena in Calgary. For informa-tion updates regarding our summer camp, check out our website at www.kimberleydy-namiters.net .

If you have any questions,

please contact Dave Smith by email at [email protected] or by phone at 250-427-4439 or 250-427-8864. The Kimberley Dynamiters would like to thank their volunteers, sponsors and the community for their tremendous support for the 4th Annual Bull-A-Rama held on Saturday May 3.

WINNIPEG — Some played together in college, others may have played on the same pro-fessional teams, but Thursday evening those friendships get pushed aside as Canada once again tries to beat the United States in women’s soccer.

It’s something the Canadi-ans haven’t managed since 2001 but this time they’ll have a home crowd edging close to 30,000 to cheer them on at In-vestors Group Field, the home of the Winnipeg Blue Bomb-ers.

“It’s a game that Canada won’t dominate,’’ Canadian coach John Herdman said Wednesday after their final practice before the game.

“We’re not going to have 700 shots and 700 crosses, so the fans have got to be ready to

really get behind us when we need (them). We know these games are always tough tight games, hopefully.’’

In club and varsity soccer, Canadians and Americans play side-by-side. Canadian captain Christine Sinclair, for example, is an attack partner of American star Alex Morgan on Portland Thorns FC of the National Women’s Soccer League.

But internationally it’s a dif-ferent story as the neighbour-ing countries have developed a strong rivalry. Canada is ranked seventh in the world in women’s soccer and the U.S. sits at No. 1, but American midfielder Lauren Holiday suggests those numbers don’t necessarily reflect the way things play out on the field.

“Every game is such a bat-tle, you never know who’s

going to win,’’ says Holiday. “Every time we play them it’s such a fierce competition that . . . anything can happen.’’

The rivalry intensified after Canada’s semifinal loss to the United States at the last Olym-pics. The U.S. team went on to win gold but Canada won the bronze medal, an event which has meant a lot for women’s soccer.

Herdman says the country now needs to do more capital-ize on the strong base of play-ers now developing across Canada.

“We’ve got the third largest playing population in the world and we can’t produce a consistent podium team.’’

He says there are 350,000 girls playing soccer in Canada, compared with just 30,000 in perennial contender Japan.

This game is just a friendly

but it will give both national teams another chance to see how they stack up against a top tier opponent prior to next year’s Women’s World Cup.

For both Herdman and in-terim head U.S. coach Jill Ellis, this is very much about pre-paring for the World Cup.

“I think for our players it’s just a great opportunity to play against a quality opponent,’’ said Ellis, U.S. Soccer’s director of development who took over when Tom Sermanni was fired last month.

“I’m just hoping the crowd now will get a real sense of what’s coming in 2015,’’ said Herdman.

“This country will stop at some point. This team will make the country stop and ev-eryone will tune in. It’s just going to be an amazing experi-ence for women’s sport.’’

Fans urged to get behind Canadian women when they face U.S. in soccer

YOUR CITY WORKING FOR YOU! INTRODUCING BRITTNY ANDERSON AS

WATER SMART AMBASSADOR

Cranbrook is pleased to announce the addition of Brittny Anderson as the of� cial Water Smart Ambassador for Cranbrook through into late August 2014.

Anderson will spend the summer months working with residents to help them learn about water conservation and to

help residents get the most out of the water they use each summer.

“I am delighted to work with the community to reduce overall and more speci� cally peak water use, which occurs during the summer months,” Anderson says. “Frequently with a few slight changes water conservation can easily become second nature.”

New this year will be the availability of free irrigation system assessments for both residential and commercial water customers. The public is encouraged to take advantage of the free assessments. Information about how to sign up for an assessment will be made available in late May.

Working Toward A Greener Community

RESIST THE URGE TO WATER THIS SPRING

Delay spring irrigation to promote healthy lawns. A mild spring drought promotes the growth of healthy root systems making your lawn more drought and disease tolerant. A healthy root system means your grass will stay greener for longer and require less water during hot, dry weather conditions.

Dave HumpHrey

Items compiled from the ar-chived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives.

1898New Footbridge … A bridge has

been constructed over the creek crossing Baker Street near Garden Avenue, and the improperly bal-lasted pedestrian no longer fears the consequences of an attempt to cross.

Local Brick … J. H. McMullin has everything nearing completion in his yards for the manufacture of brick, but will have to await the coming of more favourable weath-er before commencing operations. Frosty nights are not conducive to the successful production of brick.

1899A Dizzy Bluff ... One day last

week Dr. King was hastily sum-moned to the railway yards to save the life of Bruce Howard, a railway employee, who was reported to be dying from the effects of a liberal dose of carbolic acid. The doctor found the victim in the agonies of death. There were no traces of burns from the acid but the mis-guided victim of a romantic tem-perament was given a strong emet-ic and in a short time had thrown

up everything, even his job. When the bluff was at its height, word was sent to a fairy whose chilly indiffer-ence had brought about the situa-tion, to come at once if she would see her admirer before death claimed him as his own. Promptly came back the reply, “Tell him to die and go to — ”. The emetic and the reply were too much. The bluff had been called, and the player threw up his hand. It was a bobtail.

Baker Street Upgrade … C. M. Edwards, acting townsite agent, will commence at once to improve Baker Street. It is to be levelled, cleared of loose rocks, and cleaned up in good shape. Crossings are to be put in, and a walk built from the corner at the Cranbrook Hotel to the railway station. A sidewalk will also be built east from G. H. Miner’s to the East Kootenay Hotel.

Bicycles … Bicycles are all the rage now, and there will soon be enough in town to form a respect-able sized bicycle club.

1900A Large Hospital To Be Erected

… The large, recently built, hand-some and modern hospital build-ing at the St. Eugene Mission is to be abandoned— that is closed by the sisters of the Mission and a new one built by them in Cranbrook. This enterprise is now a fact, al-though the undertaking has been

contemplated for a long time, and has been delayed only as such en-terprises are always delayed, for time in which to develop ways, and means for accomplishing the de-sired end. It seems a great pity that the fine hospital buildings at the Mission will have to become practi-cally useless for the purposes for which it was designed, but this is only one of many conditions in-curred by being unfortunately situ-ated away from the railroad line.

A Charter To Be Applied For ... Always push a good thing along. It is proposed to buy about 16 acres of land on the level bench directly west of the passenger station and to construct first-class half mile track, a bicycle track and ball grounds, the whole to be well fenced, have grand stands, judges’ stands, re-freshment booths, stabling, dress-ing rooms and all necessary build-ings for the purpose. Water from a spring on the hill further west is to be laid on the ground through pipes, and the erection of a few swings, etc., will make the grounds suitable for picnics and children’s recreation grounds. The success of the project will be of great benefit to the town from a financial point of view, and there can be no doubt that under energetic management the shareholders will secure a good profit from the annual receipts.

A Notable Wedding … The Mc-

Farlane-Fletcher wedding and banquet was largely attended by the society devotees of Cranbrook, As announced in the Herald of last week, Walter B. McFarlane and Miss Sadie Fletcher were united in marriage on the evening of Wednesday, May 2. The occasion was one which will long be remem-bered in Cranbrook. The Methodist church was filled to overflowing with people anxious to get a last glimpse of Miss Sadie Fletcher. The bride was charmingly arrayed and carried herself throughout with a grace and dignity befitting the oc-casion. Her bridal dress was com-posed of rich cream brocaded satin, trimmed with orange blos-soms and chiffon, mother-of-pearl buckles and a handsome veil which made the picture complete. Miss. Tannis Reid acted as maid of hon-our, and Miss Eva Steeves as flow-er-girl. The groom was ably sup-ported by Mr. J. A. Gillis, with Messrs Clarence Miner and Cecil Prest acting as ushers. After a short prayer by Rev. Mr. Coombs the choir sang very beautifully “The Voice that Breathed O’er Eden.” The ceremony was then solemnly pro-ceeded with the ring daintily ad-justed, and after another hymn sung by the choir, the joyful throng that had assembled to witness the event were dismissed with the ben-ediction. The march from the

church was really a “march trium-phant,” unattended by the usual unpleasant element of rice, old shoes, etc. The bride and groom then received the congratulations of their many friends at the Cosmo-politan Hotel, where a sumptuous spread awaited them. The guests assembled numbered 150.

1901Two Days Of Sport … Arrange-

ments are being completed for the two days sport that is to take place in Cranbrook on the 27th and 28th, under the management of the Cranbrook Turf & Athletic Associa-tion. Messrs. Haines and Peltier, the committee in charge, have been giving their attention to the grounds, and men have been fixing up the track and baseball and foot-ball fields. Great interest is being manifested from the outside in both the races and the athletic sports, and every day inquiries are being received at the secretary’s office regarding the various fea-tures. There will be large delega-tions from Moyie, Kimberley, Fort Steele and Fernie and the towns of Nelson, Macleod, Calgary, Leth-bridge and Medicine Hat will be largely represented. Nothing is being left undone by the manage-ment to make the two days the greatest carnival of sport ever given in South East Kootenay.

When we arrived to Maya Beach, Belize, about

10-ish kilometres from the town of Placenia, we passed through Seine Bight. It is a very small village - I’m told the sec-ond Garifuna settlement in Belize.

Amongst the road-side signs was one that caught my attention: LOLA’S ART. The next day, I donned two wheels and set out to find Lola.

The sign had an arrow, which led to an-other sign with another arrow. Which lead to a back lane, a small, pur-ple painted bike rack, and an open door.

Entering the wood-en, dimly lit, rustic space I tentatively called, “Hello? Hello? Anybody home?”

A bra-less woman with big glasses sat at a small desk. She was sur-rounded by pots of co-lourful paint, she had a paint brush and ciga-rette in hand. She wel-comed me with, “Come in, love.”

I was immediately drawn to Lola’s work. Her creations were of beautiful, full-hipped Garifuna women, co-lourfully clothed,

When travelling, always talk to

strangersA chance encounter can lead to memories you’ll

treasure, says Mountain City Travel’s Diane Mansonagainst Caribbe-an-green water. They were happy paintings. They spoke of the cama-raderie of women.

Frogs were not in Lo-la’s art, however frogs subtly surrounded her. I asked Lola if she liked frogs.

She explained frogs were her spirit sign and described that as a young girl her father took her to see her grandfather, a shaman, where she spent a night sleeping in a tree house.

After her night’s sleep, her grandfather asked Lola what she’d dreamt of. She told her grandfather, “Frogs and leopards.”

Her grandfather asked Lola’s dad if he could raise Lola himself; dreaming of two ani-mals was considered special – she had the ability to become a sha-man. Lola smiled and said her dad was not willing to give up his daughter.

It was then that I no-ticed Lola’s leop-ard-print handbag. In

this simple gallery, Lola was surrounded by her-self.

Our conversation continued about many things. She laughed when she told me her parents said her first work of art was painted on a wall, using her mother’s lipstick.

Lola placed my pur-chase in a plastic bag, I thanked her and we shook hands.

Pedalling down the lane and back onto the highway, I knew my life was richer having met Lola the artist. She openly and genuinely shared moments of her life with me – a com-plete stranger.

In the front basket of my bike sat my new treasure, a small piece of functional art – a key holder with five colour-fully clad women. Happy women, just like Lola.

MAKES A GREAT MOTHER’S DAY GIFT!

Mother’s Day History

Every May women around the world are celebrated for their sacrifices and contri-butions to the family. With all that Mom does for her children, it would seem like the concept of honoring her would be ages old. However, it really wasn’t until relatively recently that a cele-bration of mothers was instituted.

In ancient Greece individuals honored Rhea, mother of the gods. Christians also celebrated Mary the mother of God. But it wasn’t until the 1900s before the general mothering popula-tion was celebrated in earnest.

Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis was a young Appalachian home-maker who, beginning in 1858, attempted to improve sanitation and nursing proce-dures through wom-

en’s clubs and what she called “Mothers Friendship Day.” It wasn’t Anne Marie, but rather her daugh-ter, Ann Jarvis, who created the Mother’s Day that we celebrate today.

Anna spent many years caring for her aging and ailing mother. Anne Marie died on May 9, 1905 and Anna missed her terribly. Anna noticed that many children failed to respect and honor their mothers while they were alive, and it wasn’t until

after they died that these children recog-nized what they had lost in their parent. She intended to start a Mother’s Day to honor mothers.

In 1907, Anna Jarvis attempted to establish Mother’s Day to “hon-or mothers, living and dead.” She started the campaign to establish a national Mother’s Day. Together with her friends, Jarvis started a letter-writing cam-paign to urge min-isters, businessmen and congressmen to declare a national Mother’s Day holiday.

Her efforts paid off. The first Mother’s

Day was celebrated on May 10, 1908 and honored the late Anne Marie Reeves Jarvis. After this initial celebration, Mother’s Day caught on.

The Mother’s Day International Associ-ation was established on December 12, 1912, to promote and encourage meaning-ful observances of the event.

On May 9, 1914, a presidential procla-mation declared that every year the second Sunday in May would be observed as Moth-er’s Day.

Today, the Cran-brook and Dis-trict Chamber of

Commerce released its Phase II report summa-rizing the results of the Barriers to Business survey recently under-taken with a sample of its members.

This project is a key part of the Chamber’s on-going advocacy ef-forts to improve the business climate in Cranbrook and area, and is a follow-up to an

initial survey and report conducted by the Chamber in 2012 that identified a number of concerns regarding the local business climate.

“First, I want to sincere-ly thank our members who agreed to be inter-viewed and took the time to talk about their experiences in doing business with the City of Cranbrook,” said Dave Butler, Chamber President. “Rather than focusing on individual

experiences, we looked for common themes … areas where experienc-es were positive or neg-ative. The survey results show us there’s lots of work to do yet to ensure we have a welcoming atmosphere for busi-ness,” said Butler.

The report includes written summaries of the responses to survey questions, along with numeric assessments of the clarity of processes, timing and costs for do-

ing business in the community.

Butler noted that mem-bers of the Chamber Executive recently met with Mayor Stetski and senior City staff to re-view the results of the survey, and to discuss ways in which the City can continue to im-prove the experience for new and existing businesses. During that meeting, the City pro-vided the Chamber with a progress report on the changes it is making to improve the environment for busi-ness.

“We’re encouraged that

the Mayor and senior staff recognize the chal-lenge, and are initiating some changes as a re-sult of our encourage-ment,” said Butler. As examples, he noted changes to the way in which City departments communicate with each other, training for City staff towards an en-hanced customer ser-vice philosophy, and creating greater clarity in processes, timing and costs for business-related permits.

“The Chamber will keep working with the City, recognizing that change does not happen overnight”, said Butler. “We’re looking for members of the busi-ness community to let us know what they think of what the City is doing to improve the situation,” he said. “What’s missing from the City’s list? Are you seeing a difference?”

The Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce is the voice of business in this area, with a focus on foster-ing a healthy business climate in Cranbrook and District by being more relevant to more businesses, advocating to governments to im-prove the situation for business, and growing our local economy.

‘Urinetown:’ Its power is in its mysteryBarry Coulter

Earlier in this 2013/14 the-atrical sea-son, Mount Baker Wild

drama performed the classic “Our Town.” To-night, Thursday, May 8, the Wild pass through the looking glass to take on the dark side of our town — “Urinetown.”

“Urinetown” is al-most an anti-musical — it’s a dark satire, a paro-dy, a hallucinatory “West Side Story.” It is also an enormous amount of fun, a romp-ing good story, a great dark comedy and a fan-tastic musical. It tackles the subjects of capitalist oppression, revolution-ary buffoonry, munici-pal politics, sustainabil-ity (!) and that most un-mentionable of subjects — the restroom line-up.

We find ourselves in a world suffering from a 20-year drought, where a megacorpora-tion, Urine Good Com-pany (UGC), headed up by the nefarious Caldwell B. Cladwell, controls all water usage. Imagine that — a world where one must pay to relieve oneself in corporate controlled facilities, where going behind the bushes, for exam-ple, results in harsh punishment from a ge-stapo-like police force, controlled, of course, by Cladwell and the UGC, and all his many minions. The punish-ment? Banishment to Urinetown. What is Urinetown? No one knows for sure — some strange penal colony. “It’s power is in its mystery.”

The state govern-ment is in cahoots with UGC, of course, so when new extreme uri-nal fee hikes are legis-lated, a groundswell of resistance begins, led by our hero Bobby Strong, a young sincere man with freedom on his mind. The forces of oppression, with all its hilarious wickedness, tangle with the forces of resistance, with all their goofy foibles. Their bat-tles are conducted with great music and song and irresistible dance numbers, and focused on who has Cladwell’s daughter Hope in cus-tody.

The show is some-what narrated by Offi-cer Lockstock, who as

well as explaining the basic structure of musi-cals and key plot points to the audience also performs the extreme acts of oppression as the head of police.

Written by Greg

For the townsman Bulletin

Fifty students from the Selkirk Secondary Music program traveled to Calgary last week to take in a Calgary Phil-harmonic Performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and a new work by Stephen Chat-man called A Song of Joys.

Students were obvi-ously enthralled by the power of Beethoven’s Ninth, and were also moved by the world pre-miere of Chatman’s beautiful and thrilling new work. Also a choral work, “A Song of Joys,” had several moving ada-gio sections tempered by thrilling virtuoso drum and percussion solos.

Selkirk Music stu-dents also performed with the Kimberley Community Band in April, The Kimberley Community Choir in March, workshopped with internationally re-nowned choral director Sarona Mynhardt in February, and are busily preparing for Legally Blonde this month and the final concert of the season in June.

Selkirk’s year-end concert will be held on Wednesday, June 11, at 7 p.m. at McKim Theatre, and admission will be by donation. Band and Choir students have been hard at work revis-iting and reinventing fa-miliar material as well as learning new material to present to audiences. Admission is by dona-tion and all proceeds from concerts go to sup-

porting trips like the Cal-gary trip last week. Come out on June 11 to see the 60-person strong music program put on an awesome show.

Legally Blonde runs at McKim Theatre from Wednesday May 21 to Saturday May 24, with five shows in all. With nearly every student in the production also heavily involved in the music program this show promises fantastic acting, singing, and dancing. Directed by Bob McCue and Sven Heyde and choreo-graphed by Selkirk stu-

dents Clara MacLeod and Courtney Crawford, Legally Blonde is a fun, upbeat show with great music.

As with all past pro-ductions Legally Blonde is a huge community ef-fort, with parents and community volunteers organizing costumes and props, building sets, and playing in the or-chestra pit. There is a fantastic orchestra in this show, comprised of several amazing local musicians, with one member coming in from as far away as Nelson to play.

Legally Blonde runs at McKim Theatre from May 21-24 and tickets are now on sale at McKim School in Cran-brook and Lotus Books in Kimberley. Tickets are

$12, with $5 student tickets on Thursday night the 22nd, and $5 seniors’ tickets for the matinée on Saturday the 24.

CANADIAN PRESS/HO

Farley Mowat kisses his wife Clare in an undated handout photo.

Allison Jones And Vic toriA AheArn

Canadian Press

TORONTO — Novel-ist and naturalist Farley Mowat was fondly re-membered Wednesday for captivating genera-tions of schoolchildren with books such as “Owls in the Family’’ and “Never Cry Wolf,’’ and for his legacy as a tireless defender of the environment who “spoke for whales and seabirds, for tadpoles and mosses.’’

“He was possessed of a ferocious talent, able to write stories that pro-voked laughter, tears and action,’’ Green Party leader Elizabeth May

added in a statement after news broke of Mowat’s death at age 92. “We owe him more than I can say.’’

Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper also issued a statement, saying Mowat “will be remem-bered as a passionate Canadian.’’

“One of Canada’s most widely read au-thors, he was a natural storyteller with a real gift for sharing personal anecdotes in a witty and endearing way. His liter-ary works almost always reflected his deep love of nature and of ani-mals.’’

Mowat died Tuesday night in his hometown

of Port Hope, Ont., his assistant Mary Shaw-Rimmington told The Canadian Press.

The internationally acclaimed author was an “absolutely delightful person’’ who had “strong opinions that he would fight for to the death if he had to,’’ said friend Stephen Smith, who learned of the death from Mowat’s wife, Claire.

“A highly, highly principled man, ex-tremely generous with his time and his wealth,’’ he added. “Just a gem, a diamond in the rough.’’

There was no word on a cause of death.

“He hadn’t been very

well, it had been a tough winter, but everybody had a tough winter in southern Ontario,’’ said Smith. “But it had been particularly tough for him. He wasn’t very well. He was quite old. He had various issues, as people in their 90s usually do.’’

From the time he was 13, Mowat was fiercely dedicated to writing about the natu-ral world. As a young teen he started a maga-zine called Nature Lore and had a column in the Saskatoon StarPhoenix.

He went on to pub-lish 45 books, many based on his own ad-ventures and travels.

Mowat said he was lucky to be able to com-bine his two passions: writing and nature, call-ing it “the only subject I really want to write about.’’

“I often found he was one of the Canadian writers you could always mention and everybody would know his work,’’ said Howard White, publisher of Douglas & McIntyre, which took over Mowat’s books about three years ago and is reprinting his major works.

“It was due to that brilliant storytelling tal-

ent that he had, so it was never just a Canadian story, never just a First Nations story, never just an environment story. It was a story — a capital ‘S’ story that anybody anywhere could relate to.’’

Throughout his life, Mowat was adamant that humans learn to live in harmony with the natural world.

“It’s a matter of sur-vival,’’ he told The Cana-dian Press in a 2006 in-terview. “Either we learn to do this, or we cease to exist. We have no God-given right to survive forever. We have screwed up so badly in so many ways so obvi-ously that only utterly stupid species would consider that we have much of a future, as things stand.’’

“Never Cry Wolf’’ is said to have changed the way people saw wolves; after the Rus-sian version was pub-lished, the government there even banned the killings of one of Mowat’s favourite crea-tures.

The book, which was based on Mowat’s expe-riences studying wolves in the North — and be-came a film in 1983 — was not without contro-

versy. The May 1996 issue of now-defunct Saturday Night maga-zine featured an article by John Goddard titled “A Real Whopper,’’ ac-cusing Mowat of exag-gerating key facts in the book, such as how long he actually spent study-ing wolves in the North and if he visited an Inuit camp. Mowat later is-sued a retort, saying Goddard “consistently misses the truth behind these ‘facts.’’’

Mowat was born in Belleville, Ont., on May 12, 1921. The son of a li-brarian, he grew up in Windsor, Ont., and Sas-katoon. He studied at the University of Toron-to and served in the Sec-ond World War from 1940 to 1945.

For the past few de-cades, Mowat split his time between Cape Breton, N.S., and Port Hope, Ont., where a monument stands in his honour.

Never one to shy away from controversy, Mowat was outspoken about many environ-mental and social is-sues.

He called Canada’s treatment of aboriginals

“abominable,’’ said the seal hunt was, “perhaps the most atrocious sin-gle trespass by human beings against the living world that’s taking place today,’’ and said hunts in general were “symbolic of the massive destruc-tion that we’ve visited upon life.’’

Although Mowat felt the struggle to preserve nature and wildlife was an ongoing one, he said: “I could honestly say I’ve fought the good fight.’’

He was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Jubi-lee Medal in 1956, the Governor General’s Award for his 1956 chil-dren’s story “Lost in the Barrens,’’ the Leacock Medal for Humour for “The Boat Who Wouldn’t Float’’ in 1970, the Order of Canada in 1981 and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Fund for Animal Wel-fare in 2003. He was also inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame.

“Every book is a total experience in itself,’’ he said. “It’s a world in it-self and when you finish the book you’re moving on to another world.’’

Farley Mowat remembered for ‘enormous literary legacy’

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Efficiency becomes a theme for the next few days. Your focus on being resourceful remains a high priority every day. An emotionally laden conversation could add some stress, as it like-ly will be taken out of context. Tonight: Follow through on calls and some other practical mat-ters. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your imagination knows no lim-its, at least to those around you. Do not be surprised if someone wants to pick your brain about an important issue. Remember, you are only one person. Re-main sensitive to a friend who appears flaky. Tonight: Enjoy the moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might not understand your strong desire to stay home to-day, but you probably will want to give in to this whim if you can. The pressure and hassles of outside life could be getting to you. At home you can relax, even if you have to do some

work. Tonight: Make it easy. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep a conversation moving, even if you are uncomfortable with what is being said. Some of the comments might hit too close to home. Understand that everyone has limits, and per-haps you have pushed too hard beyond yours. Tonight: Return calls, then decide. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be more aware of all the infor-mation coming your way from out of the blue. It might seem as if a friend suddenly opened the flood gates. You need to listen well and try to be nonreactive. Understanding could evolve as a result. Tonight: Let the party begin. Expect to treat a friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll feel energized, so let a friend unload. You might not be able to stop this person once he or she gets going. Even if you are not that interested, make a point to put your best foot forward and listen. Don’t allow yourself to tune him or her out! Tonight: Start the weekend ear-ly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Pull away from a source of constant chatter, especially if you feel a need to gain a fresh perspective on a situation. It is nearly impossible to stay cen-tered when feeling hounded or overwhelmed. The issue might have to do with someone else. Tonight: Out late. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The emphasis is on friends and on an important meeting. You might not see eye to eye with others. Gain a more complete perspective before making an important decision. A partner or loved one seems to have many opinions. Listen. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Responding to all the calls and questions that head your way will take diligence and endurance. You recently might have realized that that kind of follow-through is imperative in maintaining your professional and personal well-being. To-night: Continue the process. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have a unique ability to

discipline yourself and not overreact. Some people might take that behavior as a lack of interest, even though that is not the case. You often detach from extremely volatile situations. Tonight: Listen to your intuition. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Someone you care about might be seeking some answers and wanting more feedback. You could be out of sorts. Make a point to listen to a loved one who needs your time. Your abil-ity to respond and be diplomatic will be tested. Tonight: Out for dinner. You choose where. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others might want to assume more control. Let this happen, and don’t worry so much about how others handle their re-sponsibilities. This detachment will empower the interactions between you. Tonight: Sort through all the suggestions, then choose the best one. BORN TODAY Author Peter Benchley (1940), former U.S. President Harry S. Truman (1884), heavyweight boxer Sonny Liston (1932)

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 33 years. His parents disliked me from our first date. I have no idea why. I was only 16. We married two years later, and his parents didn’t come to the wed-ding and stopped speaking to my husband for the next 23 years. They missed knowing our oldest son. When our second child was born, I wanted him to have grandparents, so I called them the day we came home from the hospital. They stopped by for a visit, and things seemed to improve. Well, that truce lasted 10 years, and now my mother-in-law is not speaking to us again. My in-laws spread terrible rumors about us. We live in a small town, and even the store clerks tell us the awful things my in-laws say. Annie, my son loves his grandpar-ents and calls to talk to them, but they nev-er pick up the phone. He leaves voicemail messages telling them he loves and misses them. They never call back. This is heartbreaking. What do I say to a 10-year-old to help him understand why his Grandma and Grandpa won’t speak to him? My hope is that they see this letter and realize they have a loving family who wants them in their lives. We are not likely to have another 23 years to fix this. -- Hurt-ing Daughter-in-Law Dear Hurting: We do not understand par-ents who deliberately stop contact with children and grandchildren who love them and want to be close. Even if your in-laws had some reason for excluding you, it is reprehensible that they think nothing of hurting the grandchildren in the process. Could your husband speak to his parents about this? Would they agree to joint coun-seling to work on whatever issues are both-ering them? If they refuse to address this and contin-ue the silent treatment, we suggest telling your son that Grandma and Grandpa have difficulty dealing with others and that sometimes such people need to be left alone. Reassure him that it has nothing to do with him, and that you hope someday his grandparents will be able to cope bet-ter. Dear Annie: I recently was invited to a bridal shower for my niece. A month ago, I was told that my husband and I would definitely NOT be invited to the wedding. They said they wish to keep the ceremony small and are including only close friends and relatives (which I thought I was). The shower invitation specifically states that it is being held for the guests who are not in-vited to the wedding. I’ve never heard of such a thing. I thought inviting people to a shower and not the wedding was extremely inappropriate. These people are all quite wealthy, so having a small wedding has nothing to do with money. I may not make it to the brid-al shower because it’s 300 miles away, but should I send a gift? Is it appropriate to ask why I’m not invited to the wedding? -- Left-Out Aunt Dear Aunt: Yes, it is rude to invite people to a shower but not to the wedding (except when co-workers decide to give a show-er). Under the pretense of including more people in their celebration, they simply are obligating folks to give presents. The size of their guest list is not your business. But it would be extremely classy of you to send a shower gift. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Evil Stepmother,” whose husband’s daughter doesn’t want him to walk her down the aisle. When my daughter married, she asked her stepfather to walk her halfway down, and her father met her there and walked her to her soon-to-be-husband. Everyone was happy. -- C. Dear C.: Several readers wrote with some variation of that suggestion, which is a lovely idea, and we hope the husband’s daughter will consider it.

This map shows the structure and contour of the Bow City crater.

BoB WeBerCanadian Press

EDMONTON — Sci-entists have discovered a vast, ancient meteorite crater in southern Al-berta.

Doug Schmitt, a Uni-versity of Alberta re-searcher, says some time between 50 million and 70 million years ago, a huge chunk of space debris at least the size of an apartment block crashed into marshy, subtropical plains near what is now the hamlet of Bow City.

It left a hole up to 2 1/2 kilometres deep and eight kilometres wide. The blast would have been 200 times stronger than the most powerful nuclear device ever det-onated, so intense that anything alive within 200 kilometres would have received first-de-gree burns.

But after eons of ero-sion, so little is left of the crater that it had to be discovered by accident, Schmitt said.

“It’s buried,’’ he said.

Ancient meteorite crater found in Alberta

“There isn’t a lot to see.’’A geologist was doing

some routine mapping of underground layers a few metres beneath the

surface when he noticed something unusual.

“He noted there was a circular kind of distur-bance, but it was com-

pletely covered.’’Schmitt said his lab

was called in. Using seismic data from in-dustry to create a com-

plete image of the fea-ture, they realized it was most likely to be an im-pact crater, complete with a central peak

where the meteorite would have struck. The size of the object can only be estimated.

A meteorite com-posed mostly of iron would have had to have been between 300 me-tres and 500 metres in diameter to create that size of a crater. If the meteorite was rock, it would have had to have been a kilometre across.

Schmitt said the cra-ter is a rare opportunity to study the floor of an impact crater.

“We’re able to get at the lower parts of (a cra-ter) and see how rocks have been moved around.’’

His team is now looking for certain types of minerals that form only under certain con-ditions so as to confirm the crater is from a me-teor impact. But he doesn’t have much doubt.

“We’re pretty confi-dent it can only be a me-teorite impact. It’s pretty clear.’’

Nintendo rejects campaign to add same-sex relationships to life game

23-year-old Nintendo fan from Mesa, Arizona, launched the campaign last month, urging Kyoto, Japan-based Nin-tendo Co. and its sub-sidiary Nintendo of America Inc. to add same-sex relationship options to English ver-sions of the hand-held Nintendo 3DS game.

The game was origi-nally released in Japan last year and features a cast of Mii characters — Nintendo’s personal-ized avatars of real players — living on a virtual island. Gamers can do things like shop, visit an amusement park, play games, go on dates and encounter celebrities like Christi-

na Aguilera and Shaquille O’Neal.

“I want to be able to marry my real-life fian-ce’s Mii, but I can’t do that,’’ Marini said in a video posted online that attracted the attention of gaming blogs and on-line forums this week. “My only options are to marry some female Mii, to change the gender of either my Mii or my fi-ance’s Mii or to com-pletely avoid marriage altogether and miss out on the exclusive content that comes with it.’’

This follows a social media campaign launched by fans last month seeking virtual equality for the game’s

characters, which are modeled after real peo-ple.

“Nintendo never in-tended to make any form of social commen-tary with the launch of ‘Tomodachi Life,’’’ Nin-tendo of America Inc. said in a statement. “The relationship op-tions in the game repre-

sent a playful alternate world rather than a re-al-life simulation. We hope that all of our fans will see that ‘Tomodachi Life’ was intended to be a whimsical and quirky game, and that we were absolutely not trying to provide social commen-tary.’’

EDMONTON — Alberta So-licitor General Jonathan Denis has launched an investigation into how an accused first-degree

murderer under guard in hospi-tal managed to escape.

Denis says Christopher Nagel was free for about five hours in Edmonton’s University of Alber-ta Hospital.

He says the 36-year-old was able to escape when the guard let him go to the washroom.

“His restraints were removed at that time and he went into the washroom alone. A few minutes later the officer checked the in-mate and he was gone,’’ Denis said. “There was a second door in the washroom and the inmate apparently left though it.’’

Nagel was later discovered hiding three floors up and taken

into custody without incident.He was charged on Sunday

with first-degree murder in the death of his wife Rienna Nagel, and now faces a charge of escap-ing lawful custody.

Rienna Nagel was found dead Saturday in a home in Spruce Grove, just west of Edmonton and her husband was taken to hospital at that time with un-specified injuries.

Denis apologized for the es-cape.

“This inmate should not have been allowed to escape from the correctional officers — period,’’ he said. “This simply should not have happened.’’

Government of British Columbia and Xplornet Partner to Bring Affordable High-Speed to Remote B.C. Residents.

Xplornet Communications Inc. is pleased to announce a partnership with the government of British Columbia to help bridge the urban/rural digital divide in rural and remote British Columbia.

The initiative is a multi-year program to make Internet connectivity more affordable in rural and remote areas where installation costs can be high.

The program will provide a subsidy of up to $250, or half of the cost of an installation of broadband equipment to new residential and business customers within Xplornet’s industry leading 4G rural broadband satellite footprint. This will significantly reduce the costs of installation, costs that may have been a barrier to the adoption of high-speed Internet.

“The government of British Columbia deserves significant praise for a program that helps break down one of the last barriers to full connectivity in the province – namely the high cost of broadband installation in remote parts of BC. Now, even the most remote British Columbians can affordably benefit from the transformative power of high-speed Internet to connect them to the global economy,” said Xplornet President Allison Lenehan.

Xplornet is the country’s leading rural broadband Internet provider and takes pride in connecting over 200,000 Canadians to the world. The commitment to offering every Canadian reliable, affordable and fast Internet is shared by an ever-expanding network of over 450 local dealers, including 60 in British Columbia alone.

For more information about Xplornet high-speed Internet and how you may benefit from the British Columbia Broadband Satellite Initiative, visit xplornet.com or call 855-494-1079. For complete details on the British Columbia Broadband Initiative please visit www.gov.bc.ca/bcbroadbandsatellite.

Rust sidelines Canadian warship

C ANADIAN PRESS

A newly published paper says climate change caused by hu-mans could be responsible for as little as half the wholesale melt-ing of sea ice in the Canadian Arctic and Greenland that has amazed and alarmed scientists.

The finding, published in Na-ture magazine, should caution those attempting to turn global theories into regional predic-tions, said co-author Mike Wal-lace of the University of Washing-ton.

“Whenever you start to look at local climate trends, you have to look at the internal variability as well as the human-induced vari-ability,” said Wallace. “The natu-ral variability is huge.”

Sea ice has been a hot topic in recent years — with average de-clines of 2.6 per cent per decade since the late 1970s across the circumpolar world. Ice extent last March was the fifth lowest for that month in the satellite record.

The area of north Greenland and the Canadian archipelago, with temperature increases near-ly twice as large as the Arctic aver-age, has been warming particu-larly quickly.

Wallace says up to half of that increase is more likely to be due to complex atmospheric links that originate with rain and wind patterns in the South Pacific — not warming from greenhouse gases. Unusually heavy rain in a region of the South Pacific sets up

turbulence in the atmosphere that affects the whole globe, he said.

“It induces what we call a planetary scale wave train. We can see exactly those kind of waves — like ship wakes — if we have the air flowing over an is-land and if we look down we can see in the cloud patterns exactly those kinds of wakes.”

The “wakes” generate huge waves in the atmosphere. A single wavelength is roughly compara-ble to the distance from the cen-tral Pacific to Ellesmere Island in the Canadian Arctic. It’s those waves, which warm the air by compressing it slightly, that are contributing to sea ice melt in the Canadian Arctic and northern

VANCOUVER — Police in Vancouver didn’t have to travel to an intergalactic outpost to find Darth Vader when they arrested the Star Wars villain near the tony neighbourhood of Shaughnessy.

Sgt. Randy Fincham says po-lice quickly determined they weren’t dealing with Luke Sky-walker’s heavy-breathing but

powerful dad when they re-sponded early Tuesday to a rob-bery involving a suspect wearing a Darth Vader mask.

He says the 23-year-old victim reported she was unhurt but that her attacker was a woman who’d pointed a gun at her and escaped with a small amount of cash.

In the absence of Tie fighter patrols, a 911 call helped lead police to a suspect, who was not

far away and still wearing the mask.

A search revealed the 20-year-old didn’t have a light sabre but was armed with a replica firearm, and Fincham says police will be seeking charges related to rob-bery and weapons offences.

Fincham says unfortunately for this robber, she underestimat-ed the power of the force.

OTTAWA — Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq says she is confident that a new inter-national review of Canada’s trade in polar bear parts will reaffirm this country’s conservation of the species.

The 180-country Convention on International Trade in Endan-gered Species agreed last week in Mexico to conduct a lengthy study into the global trade of the

iconic Arctic bears.Known as a “significant trade

review,” the study will look at the practices of all five polar bear range states, although Canada is the only country that permits commercial trade in polar bears.

According to participants in last week’s meeting in Mexico, Canada raised no objections to the review, which it hopes will clear the air and confirm that the current bear trade is sustainable.

Animal welfare groups agree climate change is the real threat to polar bear survival, but argue no commercial trade should be allowed given the larger environ-mental challenge to the species.

Environment Canada says 344 polar bear skins or bodies were exported in 2011, the last year for which numbers are available, with China accounting for 75 per cent of Canadian exports of skins.

HALIFAX — The Royal Canadian Navy has lost the use of one of its warships on the East Coast after rust was found in its hull.

HMCS Iroquois was tied up in Halifax about two weeks ago and will not sail until a complete as-sessment is done on the air defence vessel.

Cmdr. Jay Harwood says it’s not clear how long that will take, but it leaves the fleet further dimin-ished as more than a dozen of its vessels undergo regu-lar maintenance, modern-ization and repairs.

Harwood says the rust problems were found in a machinery space on the vessel in mid-April during

a routine inspection or-dered after cracks were discovered on the 40-year-old ship in February.

He says the navy will

have to decide whether to spend money to repair the aging command and con-trol destroyer, which is due to be retired in a few years.

This latest problem has forced the navy to juggle some of its assets and pull Iroquois out of scheduled operations.

Greenland, the paper suggests.“Think of Canada as downstream

in that wake,” said Wallace. “If it hap-pens to be in a ridge of that wave train, that translates into it being warmer than normal. That warmth comes from the prevalence of sinking motion in the atmosphere — it warms it by

compressing it.”Wallace said climate models have

only been able to explain about half the warming that has been seen in the region. The energy created by atmo-spheric waves originating in the South Pacific nicely accounts for the rest.

EDMONTON — New docu-ments tabled in the Alberta leg-islature reveal taxpayers were billed $150,000 just for design concepts on a planned pent-house for former premier Ali-son Redford.

The total bill for consulting work on the suite, that has been dubbed the sky palace, was just over $173,000.

The documents were tabled in the house by former infra-structure minister Ric McIver, who has stepped down to run for the Tory leadership.

McIver said he cancelled the sky palace just weeks after he took over the portfolio in Janu-ary because it wasn’t some-thing taxpayers should pay for.

The suite, with bedrooms for Redford and her daughter, was to match the posh elegance of the Hay Adams Hotel in Wash-ington.

Redford refused to com-ment on the suite earlier this week, saying she has moved on with her new life as a back-bench member of the legisla-ture.

Osprey nest silences east coast fire siren Wayne Parry

ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPRING LAKE, N.J. — A pair of ospreys has quieted a fire alarm in one New Jersey shore town, and that has ruffled some feath-ers in the fire department.

The raptors built a nest inside the siren used by Spring Lake’s fire department and first aid squad. By law, the nest can’t be dis-turbed, because ospreys are listed as a threat-ened species in New Jersey during their breeding season.

The siren has been turned off for the spring and summer, leaving firefighters and paramedics to rely on pagers and cellphones to alert them of emergencies.

First responders in the resort about 60 miles north of Atlantic City say so far things have been working smoothly. But Fire Chief Tom Mullaney said Spring Lake could have a serious problem if it loses power or has a communications glitch.

“The siren is our primary alert,” he said. “If dispatch makes an error on the initial page, then the phones won’t work, and I wish they

would take this more seriously. If we get a lightning strike or some other kind of tech-nology malfunction and these things don’t work, it could be a big problem.”

There is a backup siren on the other side of town near its public works building that is unencumbered by birds, “but they’ve been real reluctant to do anything with sirens since those birds got there,” Mullaney said.

“We’re not trying to hurt the birds,” he said.

“We just need to keep our communica-tions system working.”

Borough Administrator Bryan Dempsey said a police officer notified him in March that an osprey appeared to be building a nest on the siren, which is mounted on a pole about 100 feet off the ground behind the po-lice, fire and first aid squad headquarters.

The nest cannot be disturbed at least until Sept. 1.

Spring Lake officials say they may need to create an alternate place nearby for the birds to nest next year.

“Once they pick a spot, they keep coming

back to that spot” year after year, he said. “So we’ll do whatever we have to do to

make sure they have a habitat to live in.”Officials say they believe several chicks

have hatched, but none was visible from the ground on Tuesday.

There are nearly 550 pairs of ospreys in New Jersey, based on a 2013 state survey.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Scientists have come up with the best computer model yet of the universe.

This new virtual cosmos creat-ed by U.S., German and English researchers includes details never before achieved in a simu-lation. Called Illustris, the nu-merical-based model covers the 13 billion-year evolution of the universe beginning just 12 mil-lion years after the Big Bang, or creation. And it accurately de-picts the distribution and compo-sition of various types of galaxies.

Illustris was developed by a team led by astrophysicist Mark Vogelsberger of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It’s de-scribed in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature.

The Illustris creators say it rep-resents “a significant step forward in modeling galaxy formation.” They attribute their success to advanced computer power.

BERLIN — A museum in Switzer-land said Wednesday that it has been named the “unrestricted and unfet-tered sole heir” of a German art col-lector whose priceless hoard of long-hidden artworks last year set off

an uproar over the fate of art looted by the Nazis.

The Kunstmuseum Bern, in the Swiss capital, said it was “surprised and delighted” at the appointment, of which it was informed by Cornelius Gurlitt’s lawyer, Christoph Edel.

“At the same time, (we) do not wish

to conceal the fact that this mag-nificent bequest brings with it a considerable burden of responsi-bility and a wealth of questions of the most difficult and sensitive kind, and questions in particular of a legal and ethical nature,” it said in a statement.

The museum said that the news “came like a bolt from the blue” as it had never previously had any dealings with Gurlitt, who died age 81 on Tuesday.

Edel’s office declined to com-ment. It referred questions to Gurlitt’s spokesman, Stephan Holzinger, who said his client summoned a notary early this year before he underwent heart surgery, with his lawyer also pres-

ent, but that it was up to the Mu-nich district court to determine whether there is a valid will.

The court said it hasn’t yet re-ceived the will, but that if it is found to be valid a foreign heir has six months to decide whether or not to accept the bequest.

German investigators seized more than 1,000 artworks from Gurlitt’s Munich apartment two years ago after chancing upon the trove of paintings, print and drawings by masters such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall.

Experts who examined the pieces seized in Munich said they included both what the Nazis called “degenerate art” as well as

looted art.The Nazis took so-called de-

generate art — mostly avant-gar-de modern art, such as expres-sionism — from museums and public institutions because it was deemed a corrupting influence on the German people. Looted art was stolen or bought for a pit-tance from Jewish collectors who were forced to sell under duress during the Third Reich.

According to its website, the Kunstmuseum Bern is home to works by Paul Klee, Picasso, Fer-dinand Hodler and Meret Op-penheim. It describes itself as the oldest art museum in Switzer-land, with a permanent collec-tion covering eight centuries.

VICTORIA – B.C. government officials say the latest problems in their new computer sys-tem for child protection files are being fixed after a week of disruptions, but the province’s inde-pendent child advocate says she’s heard that be-fore.

Mary Ellen Tur-pel-Lafond told a com-mittee of MLAs Wednes-day that the Integrated Case Management (ICM) computer system hasn’t worked consis-tently since it was put in place two years ago. The system records informa-tion for social workers on threats to children, court protection orders and general information on social assistance and children in government care.

The latest failure may have left safety warnings unrecorded, and social workers could be enter-ing a home without knowing if there are weapons or other threats, Turpel-Lafond said. She called for an independent review of the $180 million com-puter system to see if it is adequate.

“They launched this,

and it didn’t work,” Tur-pel-Lafond said. “It couldn’t print a report for court for six months. Furthermore, it has been launched in other jurisdictions and failed. The same product was used in Australia and didn’t work.”

Citizens’ Services Minister Andrew Wilkinson assured re-porters Wednesday that the ICM system had been restored to full op-eration. That changed by the afternoon ques-tion period, when NDP critic Carole James said calls were still coming in about system failures. Wilkinson said the sys-tem was being “reboot-ed” again after another crash.

Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said social workers have backup protocols when the computer system is down for power failures or other emergencies. They take reports on paper and phone urgent information to other of-fices, as they do when ministry offices are closed, Cadieux said.

Social Development Minister Don McRae said regular social assis-tance payments were

processed normally on April 24, and his minis-try staff have the ability to issue emergency as-sistance payments as needed by issuing paper cheques.

Turpel-Lafond said she had a call in the past week from a father of three young children who couldn’t get a pay-ment because no one in the office knew how to issue a cheque. And she said the loss of domestic violence warnings for social workers and po-lice is an ongoing prob-lem.

“Everybody who works in the child wel-fare safety system knows that you need to keep good identifying infor-mation about the adults in a child’s life,” Tur-pel-Lafond said.

James said there have also been reports that emergency meal

vouchers and grocery cards were not available from social assistance

offices due to recent problems with the ICM system.
