Kimberley’s capital projects

for 2013Black Bear bridge

The City of Kimberley Fi-nancial Plan is set for adop-tion on Monday, May 13, 2013.

While over $12 million of the almost $27 million bud-get goes to operating ex-penses, a very large chunk, $9.22 million, is set for capi-tal projects.

Many of these projects are funded through other sources of funding, such as the gas tax, funding from upper levels of government, and infrastructure and capi-

tal reserve funds.The City is projecting to

receive $3.67 million in grant money this year.

This includes two thirds of the Mark Creek flume re-placement budget, although the City did not receive any funding for the project on the first application. A sec-ond intake of applications was just opened and the City re-applied. The Mark Creek flume project is essentially on hold until grants are se-cured, although some minor work will be done on the flume in preparation for the continuation of the project.

The Kimberley Under-ground Mining Railway will begin weekend operations on May 18, and has already done some special tours. The most recent tour group

was BC Building Inspectors, who were meeting in Kim-berley on Monday. Two trains took 101 conference attendees through the un-derground — where Bill Roberts provided the com-mentary and demonstra-tion of working under-ground equipment — and a tour of the powerhouse, where Mick Henningson

guided the tour.The powerhouse has

been the focus in recent days for the volunteers who keep the railway running.

The volunteer crew has been working on the Pelton Wheel, which drives the main compressor in the powerhouse.

When the Sullivan Mine was still operating, the huge

Rand compressor was driv-en by this Pelton Wheel which was powered by the flow of water from the Mark Creek. Railway volunteers now have this huge 120 year old compressor running, driven by electricity instead of water power.

The Kimberley Underground Mining Railway is very lucky to have a group of volunteers who bring their life experience to the maintenance of all the Railway assets from rolling stock to the giant Pelton Wheel in the power house. They have come up with an ingenious fix to keep the wheel’s rope lubricated.

Most Kimberley shoppers will be aware that the local gro-cery stores make significant charitable donations through the year.

Overwaitea, while it supports many local charities, also has a provincial recipient, the BC Children’s Hospital. This Saturday, beginning at 11 a.m. Overwaitea staff will be host-ing a beef on a bun fundraiser for Children’s Hospital.

Drop by the local Overwatiea store on Saturday to support this worthy cause.

From Page 1It was up and running

last year, and according to railway personnel, a huge hit with visitors, as it is probably the only Pelton Wheel of its size still in working condition in the world.

Late last year the 2000 foot, 100-year old hemp rope began to fray and the wheel was stopped.

Volunteer John Wig-gin did a lot of research and together with the rest of the shop volun-teers, and came up with a new magic potion/pre-servative that will hope-fully preserve the rope, keep it supple and allow Railway to run the Pelton

Wheel for guests.The Powerhouse was

an essential part of the Sullivan Mining Opera-tion as compressed air is safe, clean, and simple to use.

It houses D.C. genera-tors which supplied di-rect power to the electric trains that were used to transport men and equipment to and from the various destinations underground and on the surface.

It also houses several different types of huge generators powered by electricity, which pro-duced compressed air.

Compressed air was piped underground from

the Powerhouse and used to power rock drills, fans and many other types of mining equip-ment.

The escaped air sup-plemented ventilation in the mine. Large fans pushed or pulled air into and through the mine to clear dust and gasses cre-ated by the mining activ-ities.

An overhead crane, which was built and in-stalled in 1929, travels on tracks that run the length of the Powerhouse to fa-cilitate the installation and/or the removal of machinery. It is powered by three electric motors: one for hoisting and low-

ering, one for east-west travel, and one for north-south travel.

Almost all of these machines, which date back to 1912 and the 1920’s were operable until the mine closed and are a fascinating piece of mine history.

A model of the Sulli-van Mine, which is housed in the Power-house, gives you a better sense of the huge scale of the mine and of how it was laid out.

Canada Day cele-brations in Cranbrook will likely be a toned down affair this year, as the city doesn’t have the money to put on anything to rival past years.

The festivities will likely take the form of a daytime event at Ro-tary Park with cake and music.

Council did decide to leave open an op-tion for fireworks, in case there’s an 11th hour proposal.

Cranbrook received a grant from the Heri-tage Canada for $2,500 which matches the city’s budgeted amount of $2,500 for festivities.

Unfortunately, a party or group of vol-unteers has not yet come forward to plan the event. So instead

city staff and leisure services have been working on a plan for what could be done for $12,500, but the city would have to contribute another $7,500 to meet that amount.

“I don’t think the city can spend $12,000 and make up the shortfall,” said Coun. Diana Scott. “I think what we might have to do this year is forego the fireworks and the party at Moir Park with sound system and staff and some birthday cake. A party in Rotary Park may be the way to go.”

Scott said that maybe by not having the celebration in Moir Park this year, a group would step for-ward next year to take on the planning.

Coun. Denise Pallesen agreed with Scott, saying she

didn’t want an already busy staff having to take on more work.

“Anytime families get together it’s a Can-ada Day,” Pallesen said.

Mayor Wayne Stets-ki said that council would move forward with the daytime cele-bration and hope that a group would come forward to sponsor the fireworks celebration.

Council decided on Rotary Park as is is more accessible than Moir. Fireworks would have to be held at Moir though. If there is a fireworks sponsor, the festivities would likely be split into two sepa-rate events, a morn-ing/afternoon of music and cake, fol-lowed by an evening fireworks display. As it stands now though Rotary will be the place to be for family celebrations on July 1.

No fireworks planned for Canada Day celebrations

It only operated for two years, and only pub-lished four books, but

these four have become some of the finest books ever pub-lished in the 20th century.

The publisher was George G. Booth, one of the most suc-cessful newspaper owners of his age. A successful iron-works factory owner from To-ronto, Booth acquired the ‘De-troit News’ in the late 1800s. The improvements in faster and cheaper printing machines combined with a growing pop-ulation of readers enabled Booth to quickly acquire a vast fortune. He also married the daughter of newspaper mag-nate James Scripps, which in-creased his wealth by ten.

As the 19th century drew to a close, Booth had a profound experience. While visiting the Lenox Library in New York, he had his first encounter with thousands of beautiful books, which had all been finely bound by hand. He was espe-cially taken with books pub-lished by the Kelmscott Press — a British press run by Wil-liam Morris, who had used the printing techniques of the 15th century to create modern edi-tions. Morris felt a book’s type, illustrations, design, and bind-ing should meticulously flow together; a direct contrast to

the poor quality books being churned out by mechanical processes. Booth was both im-pressed and inspired.

Upon returning home, Booth converted the attic of the ‘Detroit News’ building into his own private press. He installed a hand-operated letter press, carved his own type, and spent every free moment he had printing books “which will live for all time.” From 1900 to 1902, Booth printed the following: John Locke Scripps’ ‘The First Published Life of Abraham Lin-coln’; William Caxton’s ‘The Dictes and Sayings of the Phi-losophers’; Francis Bacon’s ‘Three Wise Men’; and Thomas More’s ‘Utopia.’

In addition to these hand-crafted works of art, Booth came up with one of the best names for his new venture: The Cranbrook Press.

Disappointedly, the Cran-brook Press is not named after our city, but it does have a con-nection. Booth named it after his ancestral town, the same Cranbrook in Kent, England, where Colonel Baker hailed from.

His business demands forced Booth to abandon the Cranbrook Press after two years. Yet he strove to continue its tradition, hoping to give back to his community, as well as the burgeoning arts and crafts movement. Until his death in 1949, he and his wife used their wealth to build the Cranbrook Academy of Art, the Cranbrook Museum, the Cran-brook Gardens and the Cran-brook Educational Communi-

ty. Built on the premises of their own home, today the site is a National Historic Landmark.

Booth used his enthusiasm for hand crafted books for the Cranbrook schools, and this has had a deep influence on art and design during the first half of the 20th century. The Metro-politan Museum of Art has a ‘Design in America: the Cran-brook Vision 1925-1950’ exhib-it which attests to this.

But his heart was always

with those four books he print-ed, and he explained his pas-sion for them in a fifth book he printed titled “There is Some-thing About the Cranbrook Press”...

After making two major air strikes in and near Damascus in three days, Israel informed the Assad regime on

Monday that it is not taking sides in the Syr-ian civil war. But of course it is.

The Syrian government promptly claimed that these Israeli attacks proved what it had been saying all along: that the “armed terrorist groups” that are trying to overthrow Bashar al-Assad’s regime (i.e. the anti-regime fighters of the Free Syrian Army) are really the tools of a demon-ic alliance between Israel, the United States, conservative Arab states like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and the Sunni Islamist fanatics of al-Qaeda.

That is just as ridiculous as it sounds, but there were always a few little bits of truth in the Syrian regime’s story, and they are gradually getting bigger. It’s true that the Free Syrian Army is getting money and weapons from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and that the United States supports it diplo-matically. So do almost all other NATO members

It’s true that the al-Nusra brigades, the most effective fighting force in the Free Syrian Army, are made up of Islamist ex-tremists whose leaders claim to have ties with al-Qaeda — and that this has not stopped the Arab Gulf states and the Unit-ed States from supporting the FSA.

And it’s true that Israel is now attacking military targets on Syrian territory. It in-sists that those targets are actually ad-vanced missiles and anti-aircraft weapons that Syria is planning to deliver to the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon, and that

may also be true. Hezbol-lah fought the Israeli army to a standstill in southern Lebanon in 2006, and Isra-el is anxious about what it could accomplish with bet-ter weapons.

But even if Israel’s main worry is that advanced

weapons would reach Hezbollah, the air strikes took place on Syrian territory, and the Syrian regime claims that 42 officers and soldiers of its army were killed in them. At the very least, Israel no longer feels that preserving the hostile but stable relations that prevailed for so long be-tween Tel Aviv and Damascus is a high priority.

The Assad regime said that the attacks were tantamount to a “declaration of war”, and that is true. It’s not that the Israelis have decided that Assad must go. It’s rather that they have looked down the road, seen a Sunni-Shia war looming in the eastern Arab world – and decided, rationally enough, that they have to be on the Sunni side.

That war is already underway in Syria, where men from the majority Sunni Mus-

lim community are the main fighters in a revolt against a regime controlled by Shias of the Alawite sect. The same sort of war may be re-starting in Iraq, where the Shia majority who dominate the government have already fought one civil war with the Sunni minority in 2005-07.

Those two Sunni-Shia wars might then coalesce and spread to Lebanon, where the Shias of Hezbollah are at odds with the Sunni Muslim and Christian communities. Weapons, money, and maybe direct mil-itary aid would come from Shia Iran to one side and from the Sunni countries to the south (Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the small-er Gulf states) to the other. In such a war, Israel would certainly prefer a Sunni vic-tory.

It has no desire to take an active part in a Sunni-Shia war, nor would its interven-tion be welcomed by either side. It worries that radical Islamist regimes might come to power in Syria, in the western part of Iraq, and even in Lebanon if the Sunnis won such a war. But Israel is at peace with its Sunni southern neighbours, while the Shia regimes to its north in Syria and Iraq and the Hezbollah group in southern Lebanon are all its sworn enemies.

If it comes to an all-out struggle, Israel knows which side it wants to win. And in the meantime, it already feels a lot freer to take direct military action against the Syr-ian regime and Hezbollah if it thinks its interests are threatened.

It is “ready, set, go” for Wel-coming Communities partners in Cranbrook

and Kimberley. The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) is coordinating a num-ber of projects in the two com-munities to welcome immi-grants and ease their integra-tion.

This 15 month project is made possible through funding from the Federal Government of Canada and in partnership with the Immigrant Integration Branch of the BC Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Train-ing and the Minister Responsi-ble for Labour.

Welcoming Communities involves a strategic collabora-tion of community stakehold-ers, businesses, non-profit or-ganizations and service provid-ers with a mutual passion and belief in removing barriers to social and economic inclusion for new immigrants.

This collaboration was orga-nized to enhance Cranbrook and Kimberley’s social and eco-nomic prosperity by strength-ening our capacity to attract, recruit and retain internation-

ally trained new immigrants who chose this region as their home.

Immigrant Welcome Cen-tres will operate in communi-ties, providing settlement ser-vices information and support.

Kimberley’s is located at the Kimberley Public Library and is open. For more information about these services contact Pam at 250-427-6027 or e-mail at [email protected].

Cranbrook’s will be opening in July at 19-9th Avenue South.

A Kimberley based videog-rapher will be creating a short video documenting the immi-grant experience in our region.

The public libraries in both Cranbrook and Kimberley will each put on a number of events in collaboration with various community partners to offer new immigrants the opportuni-ty to meet with other citizens and groups to discover what the communities have to offer. The events will provide the new im-migrants an opportunity to net-work, provide access to infor-mation, services and activities.

Cranbrook’s Food Action Committee will be offering new immigrants (as well as long term residents) a series of work-

shops on gardening at the Cranbrook Public Produce Gar-den. They are collaborating with the Salvation Army’s Friends in the Kitchen Project.

Wildsight in Kimberley will be doing similar gardening workshops at Rita’s Garden and dovetailing this with Kimber-ley’s Community Kitchen Proj-ect.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is coordinating a Family Mentor-ing Project to provide new im-migrants to the Cranbrook and Kimberley area the opportunity to connect with community members who will assist them in finding community resourc-es and access to recreational connections.

Success by Six will be in-volved by concentrating on welcoming new families with young children. Early child-hood educators, caregivers and other early learning profession-als will benefit from the work-shops planned on how to best serve this segment of new im-migrants.

Despite recent economic uncertainties, the labour mar-ket in B.C. continues to face demographic and economic challenges due to an aging

workforce and a competitive job market which means there is an increasing need for inter-nationally trained individuals to fulfill market and social de-mands.

On the other hand, the chal-lenges faced by the internation-ally trained individuals immi-grating to Canada are often-times overwhelming. Despite impressive credentials, new im-migrants face higher rates of unemployment as well as un-der-employment.

Welcoming Communities provides a forum where em-ployers, service providers and other stakeholder groups en-gage and share innovative tools and resources to promote cul-tural competence and diversity in their workplaces and tap into new Canadians’ talent. It is CBAL’s belief that an effective strategy to address integration of immigrants into the commu-nity requires the participation of the whole community.

Look for the grand openings of the Welcoming Communi-ties Offices in Cranbrook and Kimberley.

Wild soccer team learns lessons against U.S. squadsTRE VOR CR AWLEY

Sports Editor

The Mount Baker Wild senior girls soc-cer team learned the Americans can be a tough lot to handle.

The high school squad took off down to Kalispell and took on two Montana club teams, which ended with a draw and a loss.

The Wild headed to Kalispell for a pair of Sunday matches

which head coach Jimmy Robinson de-scribed as a tune-up experience against some talented U16 club teams.

However, the Wild had their hands full in a 1-1 draw with the Flathead Forests out of Whitefish, while losing 2-0 to the Flat-head Rapids, which are based out of Kalis-pell.

“I think the girls learned a lot from the weekend, because I think the second game, was one of the ugliest games that we’ve played, and they know it—and that was a learning thing,” said Robinson.

“They were mad, they were disappoint-ed, they were frustrat-ed, and we sat down and had a really good

15-minute talk after and said, ‘What did you do wrong, what did you do right, and what did you learn from it.’”

Erin White, who plays sweeper on the back end, said the American squads were aggressive, but added that the Wild didn’t play to their potential.

“We need to work on getting the first touch on the ball and getting first to [it],” said White. “We did end up tying with Whitefish—our first game—which is better than a loss, but we definitely are better and we could’ve beat those teams.

“I’d say they weren’t the hardest teams we’ve played, for sure, but the scoring kind of led you to believe that, even though we didn’t play to our full poten-tial.”

The second game, the loss against Kalis-pell, was an especially physical affair, with play getting a little edgy and chippy, said Robinson, which made the loss that much more frustrat-ing.

However, Robinson still saw a few silver linings.

“My girls got upset, but they never backed down, so their com-pete level was still there,” Robinson said. “They might have lost a little focus, and they might not have had their head in the tacti-cal part of the game, but the compete was always there.”

Despite the out-come, Robinson wants to make it an annual event because the competition is good and travel is negligi-ble.

The Wild head right back down across the 49th parallel this weekend as they head into Coeur d’Alene for a tournament orga-nized by the Sting, which is the host club.

White said the team has been addressing some shortcomings over the past week, which were exposed by the two teams in Kalispell.

“Working as one full team, rather than making individual plays,” White said. “Just wanting it more and getting first to that ball.”

Hockey Alberta bans hitting in pee wee

sure, but the scoring kind of led you to believe that, even though we didn’t

play to our full potential.”

One of Canada’s larg-est hockey associations will ban bodychecking for peewee players as momentum grows to have the disputed prac-tice eliminated for ado-lescents who doctors say are suffering high rates of hockey-related con-cussions and fractures.

Hockey Alberta an-nounced it would do away with bodychecking for 11- and 12-year-old players following a frac-tious debate that saw the resignation of Hockey Calgary’s president after he suggested the prac-tice be banned.

“Our players’ safety is the foundation in mak-ing this decision,” Rob Virgil, Hockey Alberta’s board chairman, said in a statement Wednesday.

“There is over-whelming evidence that bodychecking is the sin-gle most consistent risk factor for injuries and concussions in youth ice hockey.”

The announcement comes as several provin-cial hockey associations prepare for their annual general meetings, where many plan to discuss

whether bodychecking should continue to be allowed at the peewee level.

Hockey Nova Scotia will debate the issue this weekend when a group of physicians, including a pediatric neurologist, a pediatric brain surgeon and a sports physiother-apist, will make the case to ban bodychecking at the peewee level with the hope that it could eventually be extended to bantam hockey.

Dr. Andrew Lynk, a Nova Scotia physician and the incoming presi-dent of the Canadian Pediatric Society, is co-ordinating the pre-sentation and says he will lay out the growing body of medical evi-dence that supports a ban on checking for young kids.

“We know that kids with one concussion seem to be susceptible to getting secondary concussions, so it can actually end or shorten your hockey career,” he said from his office in Sydney.

“At that age, the ado-lescent brain is making huge changes ... so it is a sensitive time, for sure.”

At least there wasn’t a riot in the streets this time.

The Vancou-ver Canucks suffered the in-dignity of getting swept out of the first round of the play-offs against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night, and pundits are forecasting a rough future for the club.

Fire Alain Vigneault!Fire Mike Gillis!Trade Kesler!Trade Schneider!To be sure, its all just a

bunch of noise, but there are some valid points to be addressed and analyzed.

First off, the stats.Vancouver has lost 10 of

their last 11 playoff games. Vancouver scored only

seven goals in five games in their first-round series against the L.A. Kings last year, and only scored eight goals in their series against the Sharks.

San Jose was awarded 28 power play opportunities, while Vancouver had 13 chances with the man-ad-vantage in the series.

Each Sedin twin had three points apiece in the San Jose series. Last year,

Henrik had five points, while Daniel had two against the Kings (however, the latter didn’t play for three games of the series due to a concussion).

Ryan Kesler’s only points came when he scored twice in one game against the Sharks, but he only collect-ed three apples against the Kings.

You could see it against the Kings, but it was this latest series against the Sharks that exposed Van-couver’s major weakness in the playoffs: an inability to score goals.

Chris Higgins is without a goal in the last two playoff series outings, while Zack Kassian is in the same boat. Mason Raymond only has one goal in nine playoff games, and Derek Roy, who the Canucks picked up at the trade deadline, couldn’t make an impact in the post-season.

San Jose also won the special teams battle, with a power play percentage of 29.2, while Vancouver was rated at 20 per cent. After all, the Sharks were given plenty of opportunities over the series to tweak and per-

fect their ability to score with the man-advantage.

It is never classy to criti-cize the officiating, but it was disheartening to see a lack of consistency across the board when it came to calling penalties.

The numbers speak vol-umes—San Jose with 28 power play op-portunities to Vancouver’s 13.

Was Vancou-ver undisci-plined at times and deserving of some of those penalties?

A b s o l u t e l y , but there were a few in-stances, such as in Game Three when Kesler got cross-checked from behind into the boards by Brad Stu-art with the referee eight feet away in the corner, that should’ve warranted a pen-alty.

However, the play went on uninterrupted.

Complicating matters was Canucks defenceman Kevin Bieksa, who shot off his mouth after the game, calling out Logan Couture and Joe Thorton for diving.

With the antics of Alex-

andre Burrows and Kesler in the past, the Canucks don’t really have any credi-bility on the issue of diving.

Although their save per-centages don’t suggest it, the Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider were proba-bly the best players out on the ice. Yes, Schneider had a

t e r r i b l e third peri-od in Game Three, but that just goes to show how slim the margin of error is in

playoff hockey.Luongo, on the other

hand, played well enough to keep the Canucks in the ac-tion for the first two games, but his team didn’t help him out in the offensive de-partment.

It goes without saying that their two consecutive early playoff exits puts AV on the hot seat.

It’s fair to question some of his decisions in the se-ries, like switching out Ro-berto Luongo for Cory Schneider in Game Three, when it was clear that goal-

tending was the least of Vancouver’s issues in their first two losses.

However, love him or hate him—he’s still the win-ningest coach in Canucks franchise history.

Canucks General Man-ager Mike Gillis isn’t safe either, as some of his trades and inability to nurture and develop young players has fans calling for his blood.

Vancouver doesn’t have a lot of blue-chip prospects, and the ones they do have need more seasoning. Jor-dan Schroeder showed some promise, but AV seemed to favour Andrew Ebbett. A bright spot was Frank Corrado, who looked capable of holding his own on the back end after get-ting called up at the end of his junior season in the OHL.

The Canucks gave up a second-round draft pick and a defensive prospect for Roy, who didn’t add the scoring pinache that the team hoped for. Vancouver picked up Sammy Pahlsson last season as a rental for two fourth-round draft picks, but its safe to say that one didn’t work out.

It’s always hard to pin the blame on management when it’s the players who strap on the skates and play the game, however, some-times a shakeup is a good thing.

I point directly to the L.A. Kings last year, which replaced head coach Terry Murray for Daryl Sutter midway through the season, made a few smart roster moves, and ended up with a Stanley Cup championship.

They didn’t blow up the team, they didn’t do a top-to-bottom rebuild, but Sut-ter’s arrival brought a new culture into the dressing room, which was instru-mental to turning their for-tunes around during the season in order to peak for their playoff run.

Perhaps this is what the Canucks need—a new cul-ture.

AV has done a great job with the team over the years, but the results have been the same.

And as a man much smarter than me once said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expect-ing a different result.”

Canucks head into uncertain future after playoff sweep

Kevin Martin adds a new member to curling team

Scot t EdmondSCanadian Press

Former Randy Fer-bey team member Dave Nedohin has joined Edmonton skip Kevin Martin and given his bid at winning the Olympic curling trials new life.

“It puts us as one of the top teams again in-stantly,” Martin said from Edmonton on Wednesday after the pair made their an-nouncement.

“This is an exciting time for team Martin.”

Nedohin replaces John Morris, who sur-prised many when he departed the Martin foursome late last month after seven years. Morris then an-nounced he was join-ing B.C. skip Jim Cot-ter’s team.

“Obviously in this situation, once the change in our team was inevitable, Dave was obviously our first choice for so many rea-sons,” said Martin.

His shot-making ability was at the top of the list. Nedohin joined Ferbey in 1997 and throwing final rocks

helped win four Briers and three world cham-pionships.

But he wasn’t an easy catch.

After a year skipping his own rink following Ferbey’s retirement, Nedohin suggested last month he was going to step back while wife Heather focused on her own Olympic trials bid.

Then came Morris’s announcement, but initially Nedohin said he declined Martin’s offer to return to the game.

Then his parents of-fered to help out with the child care while both he and Heather try to qualify for the Olympics.

The Roar of the Rings, where the berth will be decided, will be held in Winnipeg (Ne-dohin’s home town, and Morris’s coinci-dentally) in December. The location was an-other bonus for Nedo-hin.

There is always a period of acclimatiza-tion when curlers join new rinks, but Martin says after so many

years watching each other, even curling to-gether in the odd ce-lebrity event, Martin sees it being relatively short with Nedohin.

“I bet we’ve played 100 times if not more than 100 times,” he said.

“There’s not going to be too much of a learning curve, that’s for sure.”

Martin also down-played the changes which have raised some eyebrows in the curling world, if only for their timing with the trials ahead.

“Teams just can’t stay the same forever, sports just don’t work that way.”

Martin laughed when asked if he would surrender skip rocks. Nedohin will be throw-ing third stones, some-thing he hasn’t done a lot of in competitive curling since 1997.

But he says he’s looking forward to it, plus the chance to sweep more, and Mar-tin says Nedohin’s sweeping ability is just one more reason why he’s such a good fit.

Lions GM Wally Buono keeps busy during off-seasonDan R alph

Canadian Press

It has been an off-season of change for Wally Buono.

The B.C. Lions GM and vice-president of football operations has been busy revamping his roster following the club’s heart-breaking West Division final loss to the Calgary Stam-peders.

Buono dealt such veterans as defensive tackle Khalif Mitchell (to Toronto) and back-up quarterback Mike Reilly (to Edmonton), released others like re-ceiver Arland Bruce III and cornerback Byron Parker while re-signing more than 20 players, including quarterback Travis Lulay, offensive linemen Jovan Oliafoye and Ben Archibald and linebacker Solomon Elimimian in an at-tempt to earn B.C. its second Grey Cup title in three seasons.

But no move was more significant than the trading of 14-year veteran slotback Geroy Simon - the CFL’s all-

time receiving yards leader - to the Sas-katchewan Roughrid-ers on Jan. 24 for receiv-er Justin Harper and a 2014 third-round pick. Simon, who spent 12 seasons with the Lions, needs just 29 catches to break Ben Cahoon’s CFL record of 1,017 ca-reer receptions.

Simon, 37, missed five games last year with hamstring prob-lems, limiting him to 54 catches for 700 yards and two touchdowns. It marked the first time in 10 seasons Simon hadn’t cracked the 1,000-yard plateau.

“For us, 2013 is a time of change,” Buono said during a CFL con-ference call Wednes-day. “The change, obvi-ously when you consid-er the fact we traded Geroy Simon, is a sig-nificant thing.

“He’s a class act and we’re going to miss him but at the end of the day my job is to make sure we field the most competitive team. The off-season has been very very very busy but

I think it has been very very positive.”

Buono has never shied away from mak-ing tough personnel decisions. He released Hall of Fame slotback Alan Pitts following the 2000 season in Calgary and also cut receiver Jason Clermont, twice the CFL’s top Canadian with B.C., after the ‘08 campaign.

It’s that eye for talent and knack for knowing when a veteran’s best days are behind him that have helped Buono register a CFL-record 254 career coaching victories and record-ty-ing five Grey Cup titles. Buono has also been named the league’s coach of the year four times, second only to Don Matthews, who had five.

Buono said even if B.C. had successfully defended its 2011 Grey Cup title, changes would’ve been made this off-season.

“You can’t allow ev-erybody to age all at the same time,” Buono said. “It’s a tough busi-

ness, we all know that.“But my job is to

provide (Lions head coach Mike Benevides) with what he wants and his job is to win football games. At the end of the day I think we put our-selves in that position.”

Benevides, who re-placed Buono as Lions coach after ‘11 cam-paign, agreed.

“It was a tremen-dously disappointing result, there’s no doubt about that,” he said. “But those changes would’ve occurred any-ways.”

One player still on Buono’s radar is receiv-er Emmanuel Arcene-aux, who played with B.C. in 2009-’10 before joining the NFL’s Min-nesota Vikings. Arcene-

aux was waived Wednesday by the New York Jets but Buono said the move was ex-pected and Arceneaux, 25, would re-sign with the NFL club Thursday.

“Manny is a player I have high regard for and I know this organi-zation does to,” Buono said. “We’ve stayed in constant touch . . . and he lets me know how things are going.

“We wish him the best but if he was avail-able we’d have a defi-nite interest.”

But it’s not as if B.C.’s roster needs revamp-ing. The Lions posted a league-best 13-5 record last year but their sea-son came to an abrupt halt with a 34-29 home loss to Calgary in the West final.

And that was a bitter pill to swallow for Ben-evides, a Toronto native and the CFL’s lone Ca-nadian-born head coach.

“It (2012 season) was a dream come true for a Canadian kid born in this country who now gets to be a head

coach in this great league,” Benevides said. “The players did every-thing I asked of them.

“Unfortunately on the last day . . . we weren’t able to win that last game and that’s probably the hardest part. But you have to look at the entire body of work and I’m proud of the organization and players.”

Benevides’ coaching staff returns relatively intact as offensive co-ordinator Jacques Chapdelaine will also work directly with the team’s receivers after receivers coach Travis Moore didn’t return. Jarious Jackson, Lulay’s backup during B.C.’s 2011 Grey Cup run who earned another ring last year with Toronto, is also back with the Lions but as their quar-terbacks coach.

It’s a move Lulay, the 2011 CFL outstanding player, approves.

“He’s a guy I’ve run the gamut with in terms of playing the position and to get Jarious back is something I’m excit-

ed about.” Lulay said. “He started three of four games last year and threw a TD pass in the Grey Cup which was the last game played in our league, so it doesn’t get fresher than that.”

Lulay said continui-ty in the Lions’ coach-ing staff is pivotal head-ing into the 2013 sea-son.

“It’s important from a player’s perspective knowing you’re going to battle with guys on the staff you’ve been there before with,” he said. “Much of the staff is here that we won a championship with in 2011.”

One of Buono’s big-gest off-season moves was re-signing Lulay, 29, to a contract exten-sion reportedly worth $450,000 annually, making him one of the CFL’s highest-paid players. Lulay had a ca-reer-best 66.5 per cent completion average last year, passing for 4,231 yards with 27 TD tosses and just 10 intercep-tions.

“You can’t allow everybody to age all at the same time. It’s a tough business, we

all now that. ”Wally Buono

To m F l e Tc h e rBlack Press

NDP leader Adri-an Dix has promised to re-

peal the remainder of Bill 29, the legislation that broke union con-tracts and allowed con-tracting out of health support services early in the B.C. Liberal term of government.

Parts of that legisla-tion were struck down in a 2007 ruling by the Supreme Court of Can-ada, and the govern-ment was forced to pay compensation and consult with unions be-fore any further con-tracting out of services.

In a pre-campaign inter view with <I>Guardian</I>, the Hospital Employees’ Union magazine, Dix made no specific com-mitments.

“We are going to need to improve and strengthen the public role if we are going to continue to provide a high level of service,

given the federal cuts that are coming to health care in 2014-15,” Dix told the HEU publi-cation.

They’re not really cuts. After a string of six-per-cent increases, the growth of health care transfers is capped at four per cent starting next year.

After signing a series of “net zero” contracts with various public ser-vice unions in the past year, the B.C. Liberals tabled an election bud-get proposing to hold health spending growth to two per cent this year.

In 2008, the B.C. Liberal government passed amendments to comply with the court ruling that collective bargaining rights are constitutionally pro-tected. The ruling didn’t reverse pay cuts, but ordered payment of $80 million in compen-sation and retraining, and required negotia-

tions before any further contracting out of health care jobs.

Judy Darcy, then s e c r e t a r y - b u s i n e s s manager of the HEU and now the NDP can-didate in New West-minster, said at the time that the legislation allowed the govern-ment and the union to “move on and build some kind of a partner-ship.”

Platform highlights:• The B.C. Liberals

emphasize their legis-lative change to allow Licensed Practical Nurses to leave the HEU and join the B.C. Nurses’ Union. The party wants to “partner with hospice societies” to double the number of hospice beds by 2020.

• The B.C. NDP dis-tances itself from pub-lic-private partnerships to build and run hospi-tals. It promises to “ac-celerate” Surrey Me-morial Hospital’s criti-

cal care expansion “as a public project,” and Dix has said 30-year con-tracts are too long for health care facilities.

• The B.C. Conser-vative platform criticiz-es the B.C. Liberals for spending less than the national average on health care, and for raising Medical Ser-vices Plan premiums. Party leader John Cum-mins has joined the B.C. Liberals and NDP in promising an expan-sion for the 63-year-old Penticton Regional Hospital.

• The B.C. Green Party platform promis-es to “support develop-ment of co-ops and so-cial enterprises for the provision of communi-ty-based health, social and education ser-vices.” It also wants to expand MSP coverage for chiropractic, phys-iotherapy, eye exams and massage therapy, and impose a junk food tax.

Hospital construction and operation has moved to public-private partnerships under the B.C. Liberals. The NDP wants to change that.

WIDE WORLD

The Maldives lies in two rows of atolls in the Indian

Ocean, just across the equator.

The country is made up of 1,190 coral is-lands formed around 26 natural ring-like atolls, spread over 90,000 kilometres. These atolls structures are formed on top of a sharp ridge rising from the ocean, making way for their secluded uniqueness.

With one resort per island, it is perfect for a relaxing, romantic holi-day surrounded by water and unlimited marine life.

The islands lie in the centre of a major trading route and have attracted settlers from Arabia, Af-rica and the Indian sub-continent for the past 3,500 years. Arab traders en route to the Far East recorded visits to the Maldives as early as the

2nd century AD.Today in the Mal-

dives there is a popula-tion of approx 400,000 people living on 200 in-habited islands. As many as 100,000 live on the capital island of Male.

The main industry is tourism with over 100 of the islands containing resorts.

The local language is Dhivehi, a unique mix-ture of Sanskrit and Ara-bic. English is also wide-ly spoken and many of the schools now teach in English.

In a place where there is more sea than land, there is no end to the fun things to do in the water.

Every resort in the Maldives has a sports centre that offers a wide range of water activities. They are all well-equipped – with masks and snorkels and boards of various sizes – wheth-

The Maldives: a tropical oasis in the Indian OceanKathy Holmes of Uniglobe Travel explores the island resorts of the Maldives, off the coast of India

modations in the Mal-dives have features to suit every guest’s needs.

With a selection of beachfront resorts, ocean cottages with thatched roofs or over the water bungalows you can be assured that you truly surround yourself with the aqua-marine waters of this idyllic destination.

The Maldives is also

a well known destina-tion for surfers from all over the world, with the southwest monsoon bringing with it massive swells, especially from June to September.

The size range from 3 to 8 feet. There are sev-eral well-known surf breaks in North and South Male Atoll.

The warm waters of the Maldives have high

visibility throughout the year, with water clear enough to see the pass-ing fish as far as fifty feet away.

Add to that the spec-tacular formation of more than 3,000 coral reefs and the free flow-ing tides of the mon-soons, and the result is one of the world’s rich-est diving coral reef areas.

You can fly from To-ronto direct to the Mal-dives for seven nights from $2800/person in-cluding all meals, un-limited drinks, and sea-plane transfers to the resort.

(NC)—Mothers are so busy taking care of everyone else, they often put themselves last on the list. If you are a busy mom, here are some simple ideas to nurture and pamper yourself and keep that inner spark glowing:

Diet and Exercise: Women who eat right and get enough sleep usually experience greater levels of energy, lower levels of stress, and increased self-esteem. In fact, some forms of exercise can be fun to do with children too, so everyone can benefit.

Home Spa: A woman deserves to be pampered, but she doesn’t always have the time or budget to get away for some spa time. Why not turn your bathroom into a home spa tohelp you enjoy the relaxation and beauty benefits of a sublime soak.

Pursue Hobbies: A few hours of pure creative engagement apart from the family (think art class, photography,

Why every mother needs a time-out

or a pottery workshop) can recharge your batteries.

Volunteer: Volunteering is another way to nurture your interests and connect with other people. This is especially important for stay-at-home moms. Find a cause you’re passionate about, or get involved with a local organization like Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (www.ccfcanada.ca) and help improve the lives of children and mothers living in poverty around the world.

Build Your Support Network: Who’s on your speed dial? Develop a set of close connections you can depend on in a pinch, and vice versa.

Taking care of yourself, for example, will not only give you time away from your loved ones to reflect and appreciate, but will add vitality and reduce stress. Your entire family will benefit.

Most professionals agree that it’s important for mothers to

aim for balance in their lives.

AssociAted PressLONDON — British

physicist Stephen Hawking has dropped plans to attend a major international confer-ence in Israel in June, citing his belief that he should respect a Pales-tinian call to boycott contacts with Israeli ac-ademics.

The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending “based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boy-cott.’’

University officials said earlier in the day they had “previously understood’’ that Hawk-ing’s decision was based solely on health con-cerns — he is 71 and has

severe disabilities — but had now been told oth-erwise by Hawking’s of-fice.

The decision means that one of the world’s most famous scientists has joined a boycott or-ganized to protest Isra-el’s treatment of Pales-tinians. He is one of the most prominent figures to endorse the strategy, designed to bring pres-sure on the Israeli gov-ernment.

The scientist had earlier agreed to attend the Israeli Presidential Conference, hosted by President Shimon Peres, in late June, but has now changed his mind. The theme of the meeting is “Facing Tomorrow 2013.’’

Tim Holt, acting communications direc-tor at the University of Cambridge, said early

in the day that Hawk-ing’s decision was based strictly on health concerns. Hawking suf-fers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

“For health reasons, his doctors said he should not be flying at the moment so he’s de-cided not to attend,’’ said Holt. “He is 71 years old. He’s fine, but he has to be sensible about what he can do.’’

The university later changed its position after consulting Hawk-ing’s office. The change was made after Israeli officials insisted Hawk-ing had cited the boy-cott when informing or-ganizers that he would not attend.

The Israeli Presiden-tial Conference, now in its fifth year, brings to-

gether statesmen and leading experts in vari-ous disciplines to dis-cuss ways to address the world’s problems. The goal, organizers say, is to identify challenges and propose solutions.

Hawking’s endorse-ment of the boycott prompted an angry re-sponse from organizers. Conference Chairman Israel Maimon said Hawking’s decision was “unjustifiable and wrong.’’

“The academic boy-cott against Israel is in our view outrageous and improper, certainly for someone for whom the spirit of liberty lies at the basis of his human and academic mission,’’ Maimon said, calling the imposition of a boy-cott incompatible with open, democratic dia-

Physicist Stephen Hawking won’t attend Israeli conference

logue.He noted that former

world leaders including Bill Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev and Tony Blair plan to attend the three-day meeting that begins on June 18.

The boycott cam-

paign is led by Palestin-ians, Israeli leftists and other supporters who oppose Israel’s policies toward the Palestinians and are attuned to the power of celebrity in this age.

It has had some suc-

cess, deterring a string of famous entertainers from performing. Elvis Costello and the Pixies cancelled concerts, as well as the British dance band Klaxon and the Gorillaz Sound System. Israel has also faced oc-casional boycotts of its academics, unions and in some cases commer-cial products.

Hawking’s decision was hailed by the British Committee for the Uni-versities of Palestine as support for its goal of severing academics’ connections with Israel.

“This is his indepen-dent decision to respect the boycott, based upon his knowledge of Pales-tine, and on the unani-mous advice of his own academic contacts there,’’ the committee said on its website.

EDMONTON — It seems Mother Nature has a thing for Alberta when it comes to severe weather.

The Insurance Bu-reau of Canada says 62 per cent of all insurance losses from natural ca-

tastrophes in the coun-try last year were in the province.

Claims totalled more than $730 mil-lion for damage caused by heavy rains, hail and wind, includ-ing from major storms that hit Calgary, Ed-

monton and southern Alberta.

Such storms have prompted some insur-ance companies to dou-ble the deductible for weather-related claims this year.

There was also re-cord hail damage to

crops last year.Alberta Crown cor-

porations paid out more than $451 million in hail insurance to farmers.

The insurance bu-reau says extreme weather is on the rise across Canada.

THE C ANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER - An environ-mental group is accusing a B.C. fish farm of breaking federal laws by transferring diseased farmed salmon into waters shared with wild fish.

Ecojustice says it’s seeking a Federal Court order to declare it was illegal for the company Ma-rine Harvest to move the salmon to an open-pen fish farm in Shel-

ter Bay last month.The group’s lawyer Margot

Venton says the federal Fisher-ies Department is standing by while a private company puts disease-carrying fish into the ocean.

Ecojustice is taking the legal action on behalf of marine re-searcher Alexandra Morton, who alleges the Atlantic salmon were infected with a virus called PRV, which may cause a disease

that affects the muscles and heart of salmon.

Ecojustice says the disease is thought to have spread to virtu-ally all fish farms in Norway.

Morton says fisheries offi-cials should have responded to the discovery of the virus in B.C. with measures to protect wild salmon, but instead they have given Marine Harvest permis-sion to expose B.C.’s wild salm-on to this disease.

SALISBURY, N.B. - Two forest fires continued to burn Wednesday in northern and southern New Brunswick, including one that de-stroyed at least a couple of homes.

Charred metal, a bicycle and a children’s playset were all that re-mained where two mobile homes once stood on Middlesex Road near Salisbury, about 25 kilometres west of Moncton.

Officials said the fire - the largest of the two - had consumed about 150 hectares in the area. No injuries were reported.

Natural Resources spokesman Steve Benteau said in an email that neither fire was considered con-tained as of 8:30 a.m.

Charles Beaulieu, a fire preven-tion officer with the provincial gov-ernment, said crews were able to get the main part of the blaze near Salis-bury under control overnight.

“It looks pretty good this morn-ing,” he said in an interview from Fredericton. “We had favourable temperatures last night, no wind,

cooler temperatures and a lot of manpower on there.”

But Beaulieu cautioned that winds were expected to pick up again Wednesday, which could complicate matters. He also said several spots had flared up outside the main area of the fire, making the blaze hard to contain.

“Until we get helicopters in place and put waters on those spot fires, we can’t call it contained,” he said.

Firefighters were also battling a smaller fire that had burned about 70 hectares in Kedgwick, about 300 kilometres north of Fredericton.

“They had crews work on it all through the night,” said Beaulieu. “They’re quite confident they’re going to make some good progress.”

A reception centre was set up Tuesday in the village in case the fire forced people to flee their homes, but there were no evacuations.

Benteau said there have been 273 fires, all considered to be man-made, reported in the province since forest fire season began on April 15.

CALGARY - An Al-bertan who won a $15.8-million share in a record Canadian lot-tery prize has his wife to thank for making him buy the ticket.

Chad Klepaychuk from the Calgary bed-room community of Okotoks says he had at first planned to buy a ticket for the Lotto 6-49 on April 13.

He changed his mind while driving to his brother’s house just hours before the draw.

But his wife urged him to make the effort, so he stopped at a con-venience store and purchased five quick picks.

Turns out Klepay-chuk had one of four winning tickets to the $64.4-million jackpot.

The other three winners were in British

Columbia.“We were watching

the news the next morning, and they said there was a winner in Alberta, and showed the numbers,” Klepay-chuk said Wednesday at a news conference.

“I checked the ticket and saw we had all the numbers. I was in complete disbelief.”

Klepaychuk said he waited a couple of weeks before coming

forward because he wanted the reality of his win to set in.

“I needed to wrap my head around what it meant.”

He and his wife are still considering their future, but he’s already imagining where he wants to be when the weather turns cold again.

“Maybe a condo on the ocean somewhere.”

OTTAWA - The Conservatives are beefing up the tools used to go after tax cheats in the hopes of re-covering billions in lost revenue.

A team of six to 10 bureaucrats will be assigned to work only on pinpointing tax evaders and their efforts will be backed by $30 mil-lion over the next five years for new technology and other tools required for the hunt.

“Anyone trying to hide large sums of money offshore should know this - they should declare all their assets now before the agency comes after them,” Revenue Min-ister Gail Shea said Wednesday.

Half of the money announced Thursday was previously commit-ted in the March budget to build a system that will require banks and certain other financial institutions to report funds transfers of $10,000 or more to the Canada Revenue Agency.

The remaining $15 million will be reallocated from elsewhere within the CRA in order to in-crease compliance efforts, the minister said.

A number of other provisions to go after tax cheats were an-nounced in March, including a new reward for people who blow the whistle on major evaders.

The hunt for tax dodgers has

both financial and political mo-tives.

Governments around the world were embarrassed in April after 2.5 million files on offshore tax havens were leaked to the media via the International Con-sortium of Investigative Journal-ists.

And earlier this month, a House of Commons report suggested that “taxpayer morale” was at risk if the government didn’t tell peo-ple it was actively working to im-prove the system.

Meanwhile, the 2013 budget suggested the Conservatives are banking on recouping $2.4 billion over the next six years via stronger compliance in order to erase the deficit.

It’s unclear how much money is actually lost each year to inter-national tax evasion; independent estimates indicate Canada could be losing up to $7.8 billion annu-ally in tax revenue.

Shea said Wednesday that since 2006, enforcement efforts have recovered about $4.5 billion.

The CRA has been among the departments hardest hit by ongo-ing federal budget cuts.

It’s expected to cut some $300 million out of its budget over the next three years and eliminate around 3,000 jobs.

VANCOUVER - Jurors at the Queen of the North trial are de-liberating a verdict, but they’ll be reaching their conclusion without the benefit of a Trans-portation Safety Board report that appears to contradict some testimony heard at the trial.

The ferry struck an island and sank in March 2006, leaving two passengers missing and prompting investigations by the Transportation Safety Board and BC Ferries.

The Transportation Safety Board released its final report into the sinking in 2008, blam-ing human error and conclud-ing fourth officer Karl Lilgert, who is now charged with crimi-nal negligence causing death, missed the turn because he was distracted by a number of fac-tors.

Among those factors was a “personal” conversation be-tween Lilgert and Karen Briker, who were working alone to-gether for the first time since their months-long sexual affair

ended several weeks earlier.Lilgert told the trial he was

busy navigating the ship and ordering course changes through rough weather as the ship collided with the island, but the report said Lilgert failed to follow “basic watchkeeping practices” and did not change course after the missed turn.

The agency said poor weath-er was also likely a factor in the missed turn, though the report concluded the weather had cleared well before the ferry collided with Gil Island.

City of Winnipeg

The snake found in a Winnipeg dumpster will be held by the city until a home can be found for it.

Ste ve LambertCanadian Press

WINNIPEG — Winnipeg police faced a slithery situation Tuesday night when a citizen came across a live python in a Dumpster behind an apartment complex.

It’s believed the person was put-ting their own garbage into the large bin when they heard a rustling sound, saw the snake and called po-lice.

“A member of our canine unit did attend ... and he was able to safely contain the snake in a (smaller) re-cycling bin,’’ Const. Jason Michalysh-en said Wednesday.

“Not everybody feels comfortable with a situation like that, but certain-ly members of our canine (unit) go above and beyond what they do on a daily basis.’’

The serpent turned out to be a ball python — smaller than most other types at just over a metre long and not poisonous. But officials were still relieved it didn’t slide out of the Dumpster.

“We’re glad that it didn’t get out and a child didn’t come across it on the streets,’’ said Leland Gordon,

chief operating officer of the city’s animal services department.

Winnipeg police dealt with a more dangerous reptile in 2008, when a man was bitten in the face by a poisonous gaboon viper that was on the loose. Antidote had to be flown in from Ontario.

On other occasions, city police have had to deal with pet snakes es-caping into adjacent apartments.

An investigation is underway to find the python’s owner, who could face charges under the provincial Animal Care Act.

The law carries a maximum pen-alty of a $10,000 fine and six months in jail.

Gordon urged exotic pet owners to keep tabs on their animals and not abandon them.

“It’s very important that people who own exotics understand that there’s a portion of our community that is terrified of snakes, obviously. So when you have a snake like this, find a home for it if you don’t want it.’’

The serpent was in good shape, despite spending an evening in the cool spring weather.

OTTAWA — Statistics Canada released the first tranche of re-sults Wednesday from the 2011 voluntary National Household Survey, which replaced the can-celled mandatory long-form cen-sus. Some highlights:

— Canada was home to an estimated 6,775,800 immigrants in 2011, comprising 20.6 per cent of the population — more than ever before and the highest pro-portion of all G8 countries.

— Canada’s aboriginal popu-lation grew by 20.1 per cent — 232,385 people — between 2006 and 2011, compared with 5.2 per cent for non-aboriginal people.

— Almost half (48.1 per cent) of all children aged 14 and under in foster care in Canada in 2011 were aboriginal children.

— Aboriginal children aged 14 and under made up 28 per cent of Canada’s total aboriginal popula-tion, while their non-aboriginal counterparts represented 16.5 per cent of all non-aboriginals.

— About 1,162,900 for-

eign-born people immigrated to Canada between 2006 and 2011, making up 17.2 per cent of the foreign-born population and 3.5 per cent of Canada’s total popula-tion.

— More than 200 different ethnic origins were reported in the 2011 survey, with 13 of them representing more than a million people each.

— Nearly 6,264,800 people identified themselves as a visible minority, representing 19.1 per cent of the population. 65 per cent of them were born outside Canada.

— South Asians, Chinese and blacks accounted for 61.3 per cent of the visible minority popu-lation, followed by Filipinos, Latin Americans, Arabs, South-east Asians, West Asians, Koreans and Japanese.

— More than 22.1 million peo-ple — two-thirds of Canadians — said they were affiliated with a Christian religion, including 12.7 million Roman Catholics, the largest single group.

— 7.8 million people, 23.9 per cent of the population, reported having no religious affiliation.

— Slightly more than one mil-lion people, or 3.2 per cent of the population, identified themselves as Muslim, while Hindus repre-sented 1.5 per cent, Sikhs 1.4 per cent, Buddhists 1.1 per cent and Jews one per cent.

— 1,400,685 people identified themselves as aboriginal in 2011, representing 4.3 per cent of the Canadian population. Aboriginal Peoples accounted for 3.8 per cent of the population in 2006, 3.3 per cent in 2001 and 2.8 per cent in 1996.

— Only 17.2 per cent of ab-originals reported being able to conduct a conversation in an ab-original language, compared with 21 per cent in the 2006 census.

— The survey, which replaced the mandatory long-form census cancelled by the Harper Conser-vatives in 2010, is filled with warnings that the data may not be as accurate, given the survey’s voluntary nature.

Stats Canada releases National Household Survey results

C aNaDIaN PreSS

OTTAWA — Strong, the Force is not. In Can-ada, at least.

Once numbering in the vicinity of 20,000, the ranks of those in this country who claim to be Jedi Knights have dwin-dled to fewer than half that figure, according to Statistics Canada’s first release of data from the 2011 National House-hold Survey.

“A lot less this time. I think there’s about 9,000 reporting Jedi,’’ said Jane Badets, a senior analyst at Statistics Canada.

“And that was true elsewhere in other countries. A lot less than in other countries, too, doing censuses. Very low reporting of things like Jedi.’’

What started as a gag among friends on a Brit-ish Columbia ski hill ballooned into some-thing of a phenomenon on the 2001 census when thousands of Ca-nadians told Statistics Canada they followed the Jedi religion of Star Wars lore.

But real-life Jedis in-sist their religion is no joke.

“A Jedi is not some-one who acts like the way they do in the mov-ies,’’ Maha Vajra, the self-described Grand Master of the Canadian

Order of the Jedi, said in a recent interview in which he asked to be identified by his adopt-ed Jedi name.

“We don’t dress up funky, we don’t carry light sabres, we don’t combat the Empire.’’

Real-life Jedis readily acknowledge their movie counterparts are purely fictional. They see the films as inspira-tional and fantasy para-bles, in much the same way other religions use fantastic stories to glean morals.

Jediism is the study of the philosophies largely borrowed from Buddhism and Daoism in the Star Wars film se-ries, Vajra said in an in-terview from St-Ray-mond, Que.

“What we do is what the masters of Jediism in the movies explain: self-mastery, responsi-bility, practising vir-tues like compassion, charity, (and) forgive-ness, in everyday ac-tions. This is what Jedi-ism is.’’

Vajra acknowledged some newbies will dress up as Obi-Wan Kenobi and wield a plastic light sabre at gatherings, but those habits don’t last long in the real Order of the Jedi.

“In the beginning, there’s this fantasy es-cape mode where they try to live in another world,’’ he said. “But our job is to bring them back here and allow them to see they can be happy in this world.’’

Interestingly, al-though their numbers have fallen off, Jedis still outnumber other reli-gions.

Statistics Canada says 1,050 people de-clared themselves to be Satanists in the 2011 survey, while 1,745 were Scientologists and 6,130 were Zoroastrians.

There were also 1,055 Rastafarians scattered across the country.

Fewer Jedi Knights in a galaxy not so far away

BRUSSELS, Belgium — Unlike the brilliant thieves in “Ocean’s Eleven,’’ it appears that those behind the clock-work-precision, $50 mil-lion diamond heist at Brussels Airport may not get a Hollywood ending.

After three months of virtual silence on the matter, authorities struck this week, detain-ing at least 31 people in a three-nation sweep and recovering so many diamonds from the loot Antwerp traders lost that they are still figur-ing out the exact value.

Officials said that

among the people held in Belgium, France and Switzerland on Tuesday and Wednesday are some with violent crimi-nal pasts; the one per-son held in France is believed to have been one of the robbers at the airport. The evidence seized includes large sums of cash, precious stones and luxury cars.

“It was a total sur-prise for us,’’ said Caro-line De Wolf of the Ant-werp World Diamond Center, whose traders lost millions in the Feb. 18 heist. “But we were delighted when we heard.’’

Six to eight people were detained in Gene-

va, and 24 in and around Brussels. It was unclear exactly what roles each suspect may have played.

Some 250 policemen were involved in the dawn raid in the Belgian capital, and many of the two dozen suspects were being interrogated late Wednesday. It could take at least another day before it’s clear how many will be placed under arrest, said Anja Bijnens, a spokeswom-an for the prosecutor’s office.

Perhaps the most im-portant discovery was in Geneva of stones that could immediately be linked to the cache spir-

ited away from the air-port.

That theft ranks among the biggest dia-mond heists of recent times, and many liken it to the plot of the 2001 Vegas heist movie, “Ocean’s Eleven,’’ which stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon, for its clinically clean execution.

“In Switzerland, we have found diamonds that we can already say are coming from the heist, and in Belgium large amounts of money have been found. And the investigation is still ongoing,’’ said Jean-Marc Meilleur, a spokes-man for the Brussels

prosecutor’s office. He said police had also found luxury cars.

Meilleur was scant on detail, yielding no clues as to how police got on the trail of the suspects.

In Geneva, prosecu-tors said in a statement that “a very large quanti-ty of diamonds was seized’’ during the sweep “coming from the spectacular heist at Brussels airport.’’ While Belgian authorities spoke of six detentions in Switzerland, Geneva prosecutors put it at eight, including a busi-nessman and a lawyer.

The value of the dia-monds recovered was

still being estimated. It was unclear how many of the other stolen dia-monds are still missing.

The Feb. 18 heist was stunning and brazen.

The stones from the global diamond centre of Antwerp had been loaded on a plane bound for Zurich when robbers, dressed in dark police clothing and hoods, drove through a hole they had cut in the airport fence in two black cars with blue po-lice lights flashing.

They drove onto the tarmac, approached the plane, brandished machine-guns, offload-ed the diamonds, then left in an operation that

barely took five min-utes. Later that night, investigators found the charred remains of a van most likely used in the heist.

Despite this week’s developments, De Wolf of the Antwerp World Diamond Center said that a full resolution could still be some time off.

“When they were stolen, the diamonds were all in different par-cels. Maybe now they have all been mixed up,’’ De Wolf said. “You need quite a bit of expertise to check them all — size, colour, purity. It doesn’t happen in one-two-three.’’

SEOUL, South Korea — Former NBA star Dennis Rodman is tap-ping his friendship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to call for the release of a Kore-an-American man de-tained in the North.

Rodman met with Kim and watched an ex-hibition game together when he visited Pyong-yang in February.

In a tweet on Wednesday, Rodman called on Kim “to do me a solid and cut Kenneth Bae loose.’’

Bae is a tour operator arrested in North Korea in November. The Su-preme Court sentenced him last week to 15 years of hard labour for un- specified “hostile acts.’’

Bae is at least the sixth American detained there since 2009. The others eventually were deported or released, some after trips to Pyongyang by promi-nent Americans.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might want to keep a closer eye on your finances. An oppor-tunity could appear that allows unusual growth. Avoid quick actions and decisions right now. You need to give this decision time. Reach out to someone for his or her feedback. Tonight: In-dulge a loved one. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Lunar eclipses generally bring surprises -- if not now, then in the following months. Today’s eclipse brings you the chance to have a new beginning. You’ll zero in on issues, but you might not want to act for several days in order to let the intensity level out. Tonight: Out late. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might wonder what is going on. Your natural response is to observe, take in information and see what opens up. Give yourself time to sort through the details of a project. Venus moving into your sign allows you to use the principle of attraction. Tonight: Happily head home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your circle of friends could go from being active to being very quiet, which will leave you won-dering what is next. Re-evaluate certain life goals. You might be aiming for a desire that is no longer valid, and you’ll want to revise your wish list. Tonight: Go for what you want. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Tension builds. The idea of throwing in the towel could go through your mind. Avoid mak-ing any definite decisions right now. A friend will support you in what you want, even if it’s not necessarily what is best; that knowledge might not be avail-able. Tonight: Till the wee hours. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out to someone you re-ally care about. Understanding evolves to a new level, which allows greater give-and-take. Recognize that if you back off and look at the big picture, you will see another option. More information also will come for-ward. Tonight: Opt for a distrac-tion. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

To-night: Initiate nothing. See what comes forward. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are more limited now than you might realize. Understand that it might be best to put off taking any action, unless is to make a personal resolution such as starting a diet or cleaning out your desk more often. Tonight: Work out or sit in a hot tub. Let your stress dwindle. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Tap into your creativity if you see problems arise. You might

not want to take action just yet; however, there is no reason you can’t brainstorm in the mean-time. A new friend could seem resistant to you at first, but that will change in time. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Stay anchored. You might see a chance for a new beginning where your domestic life is concerned. If you don’t see it yet, know that you will in the near future. A change involving a friend or a family member appears to be in the offing. Em-brace it. Tonight: Do your thing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Reach out to several people whom you have put off calling. Expect a strong reaction. You’ll feel much more passionate about a problematic issue than you have in a while. Test out your ideas on a friend who is willing to play devil’s advocate. Tonight: Join a pal for dinner.

Dear Annie: My husband is the youngest of seven siblings. While they are all successful, some are more financially comfortable than others. Five years ago, the oldest sibling wanted to give their mother an 80th birthday party. She planned a huge party for hundreds of her mother’s friends and neighbors. She rent-ed a party place, hired a band and catered an elaborate buffet and open bar. She then emailed all of the siblings and informed them that they each owed her $1,000. Annie, my husband didn’t have that kind of extra money. He had recently moved, found a new job and married me, a graduate stu-dent. He also pays child support for a daugh-ter and the mortgage on another daughter’s home, as well as our rent. He explained this to his sister and said he could pay $150. We attended the party and enjoyed ourselves. There was no animosity from the sister about the money at that time. But now she has started making rude com-ments to my husband and the other siblings via Facebook and email that she is still wait-ing for my husband to “step up to the plate” and pay the rest of his share. Is it right for one member of a family to plan an event without consulting the others and then expect them to pony up the money requested? This has caused a serious rift be-tween my husband and some of his siblings. -- Wife of Mr. 15 Percent Dear Wife: Obviously, your husband’s sis-ter should have discussed the finances with her siblings if she expected them to split the bill. And if she is having a problem with your husband, she shouldn’t be slamming him on Facebook or in group emails. However, she did go through a lot of trouble to plan the party, and for five years, she’s been out of pocket the amount she thought your hus-band would pay. He doesn’t “owe” her the rest. But in order to maintain good family re-lations, your husband might speak private-ly with his sister and ask whether he could contribute whatever additional monies he can afford on an installment plan. Dear Annie: Please tell the men in your reading audience that women interpret their wedding vows differently than we do. I finally proposed to my girlfriend of many years. It made such a huge difference in our relationship, which had been floundering a bit. I never realized how hurt she was by my lack of commitment. She thought I didn’t love her enough and told me it made her feel as if she wasn’t a part of my life or a member of my family. She said she felt like a house-keeper with privileges. Now our ability to communicate and en-joy things together is so pleasurable again. It scares me to think we had almost given up on each other and might have ended up living out our lives apart and unhappy. We men don’t think about the sense of security it gives a woman to know, with legal vows, that a man wants to spend the rest of his life with her. -- Happy and Alive Again Dear Happy: In all fairness, not all women feel this way. But we are glad you figured out what mattered to your girlfriend and told her so. The inability to commit is a problem we hear a great deal about, so we appreciate your spelling it out for the relationship chal-lenged. Dear Annie: Please tell “Not Anti-Social or Addicted to the Internet” that fraternal or-ganizations offer a place for everyone who is looking for friendship and a way to be-come involved and active. If one has a mil-itary background, I suggest checking out the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars or one of their affiliate organizations. In ad-dition, there are the Elks lodges, Eagles clubs and Masonic organizations, to mention a few. I belong to the Shriners, and they have a great deal of social interaction. -- Kansas Brother Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

John Wayne Mittlestead

May 4, 1942 - May 4, 2013

With his family by his side, it is with an indescribable sense of loss that we announce the passing of John Mittlestead, on his 71st birthday, May 4, 2013. He is survived by a deeply grieving family. John will always be remembered for his passion for hunting and fishing, which led to

countless hours spent with family and friends enjoying the beautiful areas he made his home.

The family expresses their profound gratitude for the compassionate care he received at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital, in his final days, as well as ongoing care at the Fernie Hospital and Tom Uphill Home these past few years.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Connect’s building, 131 7th Ave S, Cranbrook, on Saturday, May 11, at 2pm.

Online notice at http://www.mcphersonfh.com/obituaries

We invite all who knew him to come and gather informally, to share and remember John’s life.

Gaetana was born on March 21, 1923 in Forino, Italy. Mom lived for her family. Her greatest wish

was to live her life in the house her husband built for her. Mom’s wish came true. Her house was always open and no one ever left hungry. Her faith kept her strong through good times and difficult times, and this faith was inspirational to all who knew her. Although she has left us, she will join her one true love Gaetano.

Gaetana is survived by her daughters Francesca Barone (Vancouver), Anna (Ken) Gagnon (Delta) and Mena (Brian) Pocha (Cranbrook); son Nunzio (Ayesha) Barone (Kamloops); grandchildren Krista Whitehurst, Amanda (Steve) Sellars, Andrew (Arel) Young, Jeff (Pamela) Gagnon, Angela Gagnon, Brennan (Beth) Pocha, Devan (Josh) Prasad, Katryna Barone, Zachary Barone, Nytasha Barone; great grandchildren Paige Young, Adam Whitehurst, Troy Gagnon, Kaci Whitehurst, Parker Sellars, and Cooper Sellars. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Gaetano Barone (1992), children Joseph Lee Barone (1953), Mary Barone (1957), Maria Brigida Young (2007), sister Domenica Avagnano, brother Gaetano Tironese, and niece Nancy Clarotto.

Prayers for Gaetana will be held on Sunday, May 12, 2013 at 7:00 pm at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Cranbrook. Her funeral Mass will be held on Monday, May 13, 2013 at 2:00 pm. She will be interred in the Catholic Cemetery in Cranbrook following the mass.

Bill Bennett secured funding for the following:

New Emergency Ward & Entrance

Stan LehmanAssociated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — A 28-year-old woman miraculously survived after her hus-band accidentally shot her in the mouth with a harpoon, Brazilian offi-cials said Wednesday.

The Rio de Janeiro State Health Depart-ment said in a statement that the woman’s hus-band was cleaning his

spear gun when it went off, firing a harpoon that hit her cervical spine.

Elisangela Borbore-ma Rosa was rushed to the hospital and under-went emergency sur-gery after Monday’s in-cident in the coastal city of Arraial do Cabo.

The statement quotes neurosurgeon Allan da Costa as saying that the harpoon came within 1 centimetre (less

than half an inch) of kill-ing the woman. He said he expects a full recov-ery.

A police officer in Ar-rial do Cabo said by tele-phone that officials are looking into the case.

“Everything indi-cates it was an accident, but we are investigating.

We don’t think the hus-band tried to kill her,’’ said the officer, who cited department policy in declining to let her name be used.

“But once she fully recovers we will be able to question her and get a clearer picture of what happened.’’

Brazilian woman survives after harpoon strikes spine

C anadian PreSSVERNON, B.C. —

The sword is not mighti-er than the skateboard in Vernon, B.C.

Mounties in that North Okanagan city say they are still sort-ing out a bizarre fight that erupted Tuesday night in the downtown core.

They say several men in their early 20s squared off, but the situ-ation became much more pointed when one of the men ran into a nearby specialty shop

and emerged with two swords.

That’s when a sec-ond suspect smashed the would-be muske-teer in the head with a skateboard.

Fortunately, the sa-bre-rattler was not seri-ously hurt and everyone involved was rounded up.

Not surprisingly, they spent the night so-bering up and, as clear-er heads emerge, police hope to learn what sparked the unorthodox duel.

In the battle between sword and skateboard,

Taking Action on Water Quality

Teck operates five steelmaking coal mines in the Elk Valley of British Columbia which employ over 4,000 people. We raise our families in the valley, fish and swim in the river and care deeply about the environment.

That’s why we’re taking action to ensure that water quality is protected in the valley now and for generations to come.

We are working with governments, First Nations and communities to develop an Elk Valley Water Quality Plan that will maintain the health of the watershed.
