dom drug and alcohol tests on workers at the Elk Valley mines.
In a May 9 decision, arbitrator Colin Taylor
found that Teck could continue to carry out drug and alcohol tests on its employees while a grievance goes through
arbitration.“I have concluded
that drug and alcohol testing are more amena-ble to being compensat-
ed in damages, whereas the risk of industrial ac-cident carries greater potential for irreparable harm,” Taylor said in the
decision.Teck introduced ran-
dom drug and alcohol testing last December, saying at the time: “We take our obligation to provide the safest possi-ble workplace for our employees very serious-ly and, as such, we strongly believe that taking measures to eliminate drug and al-cohol abuse that can af-fect safety is an import-ant way we can achieve

Saturday, May 11, was a glorious day for a Fun Run, and more than 200 turned out to run and walk five kilometre and 10 kilometre distances, in support of the BC ALS Society. Participants in the annual Spring Honda Fun Run included Team Townsman/Bulletin, who came in second in the corporate team category. Huzzah! See more on the Fun Run, Page 4.

Teck gets okay to continue drug, alcohol testing
ARNE PETRYSHENTownsman Staff
A crowd of at least 25 business owners and residents concerned about the city’s draft sign bylaw came to a special meeting Wednesday af-ternoon at City Hall to find out more about changes and the direc-tion of the bylaw.
The sign bylaw most likely won’t come back to council until the June 24 meeting as staff would not have the up-dated draft ready before then.
One reason for that was that council in-structed staff to look into various new options, such as the possibility of
licencing movable signs.CAO Wayne Staudt
explained that staff could also bring it back as a draft for more con-sultation if council wishes as the purpose of the meeting was to was seek direction from council.
Staff spent some time talking about the need for engineering stan-dards on new signs being built. The city’s building inspector is not comfortable doing the inspections and so an engineer would have to be brought in to inspect the larger signs as they are designed and built.
Sign bylaw debated again
Arbitrator denies Steelworkers’ request to halt random testing of Elk Valley employeesSALLY MACDONALDTownsman Staff
The United Steel-workers Local 9346 has been denied a tempo-rary order to stop Teck from performing ran-
our vision of everyone going home safe and healthy every day,” said Nic Milligan, Manager of Community and Ab-original Affairs at Teck’s coal operations.
For several years, Teck has conducted drug and alcohol tests on new employees en-tering the workplace, and post-incident tests where it believes drugs or alcohol may be a fac-tor.

Laurie Drama ProDuction in FuLL Swing: Laurie Middle School’s Facebook: A Futuristic Musical started Tuesday, May 14 at the Stage Door. Under the guidance Mr. Feming and Mrs. Montgomery, the students have worked extremely hard on this production. The show runs until Friday. Above, front row, left to right: Ki Hwan Kim, Max Wurzer, Brodi Sadler, and Kelsey Ackert.
This brought up some concerns about potential costs, but staff said the signs would be looked at on a case-by-case basis.
Off-premise signs were also a hot topic as there is the potential for clutter to happen on the main thoroughfares, but Coun. Diana Scott said businesses need to be able to advertise their locations.
Coun. Gerry Warner agreed, saying that if businesses want to share space with other businesses it should be their own decision.
Billboards also pro-vided for a lot of discus-sion.
Mayor Wayne Stetski said banning billboards outright would help Cranbrook improve aes-thetics. Sparwood and Fernie don’t allow bill-boards and billboards leading into Fernie not allowed. Coun. Sharon Cross said she wanted to see billboards abolished as they interfere with the landscape.
Coun. Bob Whetham was also against, as many billboards adver-tise things outside of the community anyway.
Mayor Stetski esti-mated there are about a half dozen billboards
around Cranbrook.“Many of them are in
a total state of disrepair,” Stetski said.
Scott said there is a place and need for bill-boards and they haven’t obstructed the view in her experience. She said they haven’t been main-tained because they would likely have to be taken down to fix and maybe not allowed back up.
Coun. Cross said many comments from the community were against large signs.
“Part of the purpose of the sign bylaw is to improve the attractive-ness of the community,” Cross said.
Mayor Stetski said it’s not a numbers game so much as it is about building a better Cran-brook.
Coun. Warner ar-gued that if billboards are attractive and on a vacant lot he didn’t see why they shouldn’t be allowed.
Coun. Angus Davis said some comments insulted the business community and listen-ing to those people could put the city in “for a real rough ride.”
Warner suggested a billboard committee that could decide and
rule on billboard place-ment and allowances.
Scott said that indus-trial area is another place that could have billboards.
Whetham noted that billboards are not cur-
rently allowed under the current city bylaw.
Council voted against banning bill-boards outright and so staff will prepare some guidelines on those as well.
Sign bylaw debated again

Residents of and visi-tors to Cranbrook are re-minded that intentional-ly feeding deer is against the law.
A release from the City this week said the Deer Feeding Prohibi-tion Bylaw, which came into effect in October, 2010, states no one is to provide deer with food by intentionally leaving food, food waste or other attractive edible material for the sole purpose of feeding deer.
For example, leaving out a bale of hay, a bag of apples or other com-postable food scraps on a residential lot or prop-erty where these items are not consistently being produced for human consumption
would be seen as an in-fraction to the bylaw.
Home fruit and vege-table gardens intended for human consumption or ornamental plants and flowers, however, are fine.
Anyone found violat-ing the Deer Feeding Prohibition Bylaw will be committing an offense and can be fined on an escalating fine schedule; $100 for the first offense, $200 for the second, $500 for the third.
Each day a violation occurs constitutes a new and separate offense.
To view a copy of the Deer Feeding Prohibi-tion Bylaw 3709, 2010, visit www.cranbrook.ca and click on ‘Bylaws’, under the Quick Links list on the homepage.
Remember: Feeding deer is against the law

The 3rd Annual Spring Honda Fun Run, Saturday, May 11, fea-tured runners of all ages for the first time this year.
The event started at the College of the Rock-ies with 5K and 10K runs. This year the event included a run for the little ones with a “twoonie” race before the big races started.
“We actually did it up to about 10 years old,” said Christie Ken-nedy, of Core Fitness, one of the organizers of the event. “But we had a little race with the three- and four-year-olds and then the fives and sixes. Very cute.
“We just had a lot of kids participate, even in
the 5k this year. So it was definitely more of a family eveny this year which is great,” Kenne-dy said.
Kennedy also said that organizers think the kids’ involvement was so successful that they will try and make it an even bigger aspect for the races to come.
“We even had P.T. the Clown up there and so it was just really fun for the kids.”
With regards to the fundraiser for the ALS Society of B.C., Kenne-dy said that this disease has taken a toll on her and other organizers of the Fun Run.
“It is something that the four of us who orga-nized it have all been affected by in one way or another.”
in our own community.” The ALS Society of
B.C. is dedicated to try-ing to make life more manageable for those with the disease and to try to ultimately find a cure.
Overall, there was a good attendance at the event, with around 300 participants this year.
“It was a great suc-
cess,” Kennedy said. “We had some great elite athletes all the way down to little kids. It was a perfect sunny day and just a really great day.”
Winners of the 5K run included: first place Jeff Beler with a time of 20:17, Steve Donaldson with 20:52 and Dayne Aasland 21:50. For the
10K run the top scorers were first place Dallas Cain with a time of 36:38, Ryan Cain with 36:39 and Chris Naka-hara with 39:19.
Congratulations to runners of all ages and ability who participated in the Spring Honda Fun Run for the ALS So-ciety.

Now Teck has been given permission to continue randomstests on its employees, while a dispute filed by the United Steelworkers in the B.C. Supreme Court goes through adjudica-tion.
Alex Hunter, presi-dent of the United Steel-workers Local 9346, said Teck is flying in the face of the law.
“As far as I know, random drug testing has not been made legal in Canada anywhere at this point. So we’re not sure why this has taken place here,” Hunter told
the Townsman.“They haven’t
changed the law through the legal sys-tem. They’ve just de-clared themselves above the law and began implementation of random drug testing, and for whatever reason we haven’t been grant-ed an injunction.”
Hunter made it clear that United Steelwork-ers doesn’t endorse il-licit drugs.
“The union does not support the use of ille-gal drugs or in any way condone showing up to work under the influ-
ence of any sort of mind altering substance or alcohol, or putting peo-ple’s lives in danger at all. That is not what this argument is about,” he said.
“This argument is about whether or not the company can gain access to our private lives, and especially our medical information through our prescrip-tion drug information, for the sales pitch of keeping us safe.”
Hunter said that Teck’s Elk Valley opera-tions have a good re-cord for safety.
“2012 at Elkview Op-erations was the safest year yet,” he said. “Not to mention, B Crew at Elkview Operations just went 10 years LTI free – which is 10 years with-out a lost time (inci-dent). That’s in the re-cord books somewhere – could be a world re-cord.”
Teck could not be reached for comment before The Townsman’s deadline.

The Cranbrook Farmer’s Market is get-ting ready for its first big event of the season, the Spring Market.
This is the second year that the Spring Market will be held and it is happening Satur-day, May 25 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Cranbrook Curling Cen-tre.
The market is a sort of precursor to the up-coming weekly farmer’s market held downtown near Rotary Park.
Erna Jensen-Shill, who manages the Cran-brook Farmer’s Market, said it is a great time to get reacquainted with the produce and good-ies missing since the end of the last market season.
Last year at the Spring Market the early
season produce was snapped up quickly.
“We’ve got lots of the favourites,” Jensen-Shill said. “And for this mar-ket, some visiting folks from the West Kootenay will be coming over with ornamental garden products and that type of thing.”
As well, many popu-lar items are back, such as homemade borscht, cupcakes and produce and eggs from Fort Steele Farms.
The Spring Market is held at the curling rink as it offers both an in-door and outdoor op-tion, which is helpful with the sometimes dif-ficult-to-predict weath-er of this time of year.
Jensen-Shill said people were asking for the early season market last year, so they tried it out and it was a success.
It also offers an op-
portunity for anyone in-terested in becoming a vendor in the market to find out more, as there will be an information booth set up to answer questions from 1-2 p.m.
“We will be talking to any interested folks,” she said. “You know, maybe they’re growing a little market garden and they’re not sure how to go about becoming a vendor or coming down and selling their pro-duce.”
She said the big thing is that everything is lo-cally made, grown or baked, as they follow B.C. Association of Farmer’s Markets stan-dards.
The Cranbrook mar-ket’s website has more information on the guidelines.
Jensen-Shill added that the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market is

shaping up for a great season and will begin June 22. It is entering its fifth year.
“It’s gets better with age,” she said. “We have more vendors and more community support.”

Premier Christy Clark said she will wait until election results are finalized and she has met with her 49 MLAs before deciding where to seek a seat to replace the one she lost Tues-day.
NDP challenger David Eby defeated Clark by more than 700 votes in Vancou-ver-Point Grey, knock-ing on doors while Clark traveled the province on the leader’s tour.
At a news conference Wednesday, Clark shrugged off the loss, saying the seat was closely contested when Gordon Campbell held it and also had little time to campaign there.
Asked repeatedly about polls that pre-dicted her doom, Clark noted that she dis-cussed that briefly with Prime Minister Stephen Harper when he called to congratulate her on winning the party’s fourth term. And she offered some advice on
Clark in no rush to seek seatB.C. eLeCtION
polling to reporters who gathered at the Vancouver cabinet of-fices.
“You guys get this stuff for free,” Clark said. “You should take it for what it’s worth.”
Results don’t be-
come official until May 27, and there could still be changes in current legislature: 50 B.C. Lib-erals, 33 NDP MLAs, B.C. Green Andrew Weaver and Delta South independent Vicki Hun-tington.
Clark said she regrets the loss of cabinet min-isters Ida Chong and Margaret MacDiarmid, but she is pleased to have a balance of 25 re-turning MLAs and 25 newcomers in the B.C. Liberal caucus.

PAGE 6 THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2013
The pollsters, pundits and the self-styled rebels of the B.C. Liberal Party were struggling for an-swers as their conventional wis-dom went out the window on
election night.In came the B.C. Liberals and Christy
Clark for a fourth term, with a 50-seat ma-jority that is stronger than the one they took into the 2013 election.
“Welcome to the club,” Al-berta Premier Alison Redford wrote on Twitter on election night, referring to Redford’s own win in the face of a wall of polls and pontificators say-ing she was done.
Here’s the next thing to ig-nore from the media experts who rub shoulders with those pollsters and political strategists. It’s all about the negative ads, they will say, and NDP leader Adrian Dix’s big mistake was to run a “positive” campaign.
Rubbish. Was their long fight against the harmonized sales tax a positive cam-paign? Is piling on sham environmental reviews for the express purpose of killing industrial projects a positive idea?
“Clearly our message didn’t get out the way we wanted it to get out,” Dix said after watching one of the biggest comebacks in Canadian political history.
That’s rubbish too. He got his message out just fine, serving it up in bite-sized
pieces in a classic front-runner’s campaign that cynically put off the most difficult choices. He was going to expand govern-ment, and restrict industrial development to appease urban voters.
Dix’s most dramatic policy shift con-tributed to his undoing. Mid-campaign, in a decision that surprised even his platform co-chairs, Dix turned against the proposal to twin the TransMountain oil pipeline
that winds across B.C. from Alberta to Burnaby. Well, not the pipeline itself, but the prospect of more oil tankers in and out of Van-couver harbour.
At least now, more peo-ple will understand that Vancouver has been an oil port for nearly a century,
and that Canada’s future includes energy development. More people should also appreciate that environmental assessment is not a political game.
Andrew Weaver made history as B.C.’s first Green Party MLA. He came out swing-ing against Clark’s economic holy grail, development of liquefied natural gas ex-ports from the North Coast.
Weaver calls LNG a “pipe dream” that will never materialize. It will be interesting to watch him as he is proved wrong on that, and then as he grapples with gas as a transition fuel that can be used to develop clean energy infrastructure.
B.C. Conservative leader John Cum-mins ran a distant third in his Langley constituency, and his goal of a break-through didn’t materialize anywhere. His idea of scrapping the carbon tax on fossil fuels didn’t impress many people, despite his focus on rural and northern B.C.
Clark should heed the NDP on at least one thing. Dix promised to move B.C. elec-tion dates to the fall, starting in 2017. The idea of giving his anticipated government an extra six months to govern the province was uncontroversial when Dix proposed it in his party’s election platform, so Clark will probably proceed with it.
Another NDP idea Clark should adopt is getting the corporate and union money out of election campaigns. She likely won’t, because her party’s financial advantage is too great, but the time has come for this important reform.
The B.C. Liberals’ much-discussed “balanced” budget will now be put to the test over the next few months. The legisla-ture must be convened by September to debate that budget.
This should be the last vote based on an untested budget, and the first of many scheduled fall legislature sessions.

OpiniOn/EvEnts
In a vision of a militaristic and disci-plinarian society of the future pro-posed by sci-fi writer Robert Hein-lein (Starship Troopers), humans on a now united Earth are divided
into two basic classes. (Earth is only unit-ed, of course, because the government of Earth works to create outside enemies that we can all unite against — that old ploy.)
The two classes are citizens and civil-ians. The former have served terms of “federal service,” and thus have the right to vote, have a say in public poli-cy, and effect change. Ci-vilians, on the other hand, though not discriminated against and enjoying all the benefits of society, do not have the vote, and have no say in the func-tioning of government or the structuring of their society.
Sounds familiar to me, on the morn-ing after 49.255 per cent of voters in Koo-tenay East cast ballots in Tuesday’s B.C. election (14,887 out of 30,224 eligible voters) — down from 55 per cent in 2009. In Columbia River-Revelstoke, the turn-out was 51 per cent.
Across B.C., 52 per cent of eligible voters turned out to protect democracy, after an important, interesting and po-tentially historic election campaign. We should be optimistic, I suppose, that the number is trending upwards — a mere 51 per cent (50.99, actually) voted in the 2009 B.C. election. If that trend contin-ues, in 200 years we can expect full exer-cise of the franchise among the citizenry.
Or maybe that spike of one per cent is an exception that is only temporarily bucking the downward trend, and in 200 years, the fascist utopia, as Heinlein sug-gested, will have arrived.
Perhaps a better analogy would be the gradual demise of the Roman republic and its replacement with a monarchy.
You can keep the civilians comfortable and happy — the good ol’ bread and cir-cuses — and continue to govern as best suits your interests and those of your supporters.
There has been so much hand-wring-ing over the years on this issue that I’m actually embarrassed to be doing it again. All sorts of reasons have been put forward for the decline in voter engage-ment. Perhaps what’s needed is a fresh-
faced rock star type leader to excite political imagi-nation among the young. After all, the polls show that Justin Trudeau is — wait, did I actually men-tion polls? As if they had any credibility at all?
In some countries, vot-ers are prevented from
voting by forceful means. Perhaps it’s time to protect our hard-won democratic rights by forcing people to vote. Create compulsory voting with the stroke of the legislative pen. After all, 23 countries on our peaceful, united planet Earth already practice it. Ten actually enforce it. If you don’t vote, you could receive a fine. The government that dares adopt this mea-sure as law could prepare the way with an ad campaign, with the tag line “Com-pulsory Voting: That’s The Ticket!” (Paid for with tax dollars, of course.)
Now, the libertarians would say the less law the better, and if you don’t want to vote, that too is your right, just don’t complain, etc., etc. So maybe the bread and circuses approach would work bet-ter. Instead of forcing the populace to the polls, tempt them to the polls. I say thanks to Geoff B. on the social media, who proffered the idea of a “vote-to-play election lottery with a $5 million jackpot and a $10,000-prize for each riding.” That would ensure complete voter turnout and cost less than current campaigns, as Geoff B. points out. Geoff adds, “But of
course, no one will ever do that.” And of course they won’t, just as we won’t dare integrate compulsory voting, or any kind of progressive and fair proportional rep-resentation. Of course not.
So long, franchise. Oh well, as long as they keep putting really good programs on TV, I won’t even notice that constant prorogation of Parliament.
Speaking of polls, we can ask if they are just no longer working the way they used to, and if so why not. I suspect it’s because the methodology of polling has stayed the same over past decades. Poll-sters get on the phone and start calling around, at the same time of day as all those scam artists, asking you to take surveys and then sign up for a free prize. (I myself am not sure if a legitimate poll-ster called me for my opinion, but I am sure that throughout April I received one call per evening from someone asking me to participate in a survey about our household work habits, and then sign up for a chance to win a cruise, or some-thing. It was infuriating.) In the mean-time, cellphones, social media and the like are rendering a proper sample group harder and harder to access using tradi-tional polling means.
Nor would it be surprising if there were some algebra or equation that proved a drastic decrease in voter en-gagement correlates with an equivalent decrease in polling accuracy (I’ll get back to you on that).
Lastly, and most importantly, I would like to congratulate and thank all the candidates who put their names forward in Kootenay East and Columbia Riv-er-Revelstoke. If we choose not to vote, well, yes, that is our right, and we will get the governments we deserve. But with-out individuals who step forward to run for public office, our democracy would die a quick death indeed. So thanks again for your commitments and your efforts.

asia delegationCranbrook ratepayers have been en-
during and will continue to endure for the foreseeable year over year com-pounding increases to property taxes, frontage taxes and the cost of city ser-vices. Council on numerous occasions has indicated its concern for the shortage of funds for projects and services to even slashing monies for the July 1st celebra-tion.
If Cranbrook is going to participate in the Asian delegation it should do so at the minimum level — the same as our sister cities — and not send extra dele-gates. Council, rethink your decision.

Country roadsI am wondering why whoever is in
charge of roads would waste probably what will add to up to thousands of tax-payers’ hard-earned dollars recently to brush off the edges of Pighin Road, and then have another truck go behind to water it which dried up in last week’s heat
in about five minutes. Really! This is a rural country road that
is a dead end and has very little traffic. In the city I get it, but out here? At least if they feel it has to be done, be wise enough to wait until after the cattle go out on the range after the May long weekend and clean up after that, as hundreds of cattle will be walking down the road pooping all over the nicely just swept and washed Pighin Road.
There are so many seniors in need and medical care for so many and we waste huge dollars sweeping and washing rural roads.
Please share if you fell the same and please call Mainroads 250-417-4624 to voice your concerns on how our tax dol-lars are being used.

HeritageRemembering where we come from is
truly a rewarding and significant part of our lives — not only on a personal level but also in the life of our community.
In Cranbrook our physical roots can
be seen in several areas: Slaterville, Wattsville, and the general area of 1st to 18th Avenue.
These are the original subdivisions of the city and in recent years these older sections of our community have been undergoing a steady revitalization.
Several years ago the Baker Hill Heri-tage Association was formed. This group was responsible for convincing the city that in the Baker Hill area any develop-ment or redevelopment must reflect the historical values of the area.
This has worked so well that in the other historical areas of the city such as Slaterville, community groups have been established.
In fact, in the entire older parts of the city efforts to maintain or upgrade prop-erties are very evident.
I commend these fine citizens of our community for their very obvious pride in their homes and city.

Cranbrook was well-represented at a track meet on Tuesday for the Kootenay Zone Track and Field Cham-pionships at the College of the Rockies, as five local athletes had suc-cess in their individual events.
Cameron Paulson, Zoe Chore, Sarah Doll, Samara Schiefner, and Nicole Byford all partici-pated in the event, as each athlete trains with the new East Kootenay Track and Field club, headed by James O’Kane.
The competition fea-tured all the traditional track and field events such as short and long distance running, high
jump, long jump, along with shot put and jave-lin throw.
“Overall, I was very impressed with their performances,” said O’Kane. “It was great that they could compete and it was just nice to see their training come together. They gave it 100 per cent and they got good results. “
The Cranbrook ath-letes took on competi-tors representing schools and communi-ties from around the Kootenays such as Nel-son, Creston, Golden, Jaffray, and Fernie.
O’Kane said he was impressed with the turnout from around the region.
“It showed that there’s a lot of track and field throughout the Kootenays. There were a lot of kids there,” O’Kane said.
“…The Kootenays was well represented and it was nice to get some Cranbrook repre-sentation in there as well, and compete well with all those schools.”
The East Kootenay Track and Field Club practice on Tuesday and Thursday nights at the College of the Rockies track. Anyone interested in joining the club can contact O’Kane at ektfc@hotmail.com

Stoll likely to miss Game 2 after hard hit from Torres
ASSOCIATED PRESSLOS ANGELES -
Kings centre Jarret Stoll is likely to miss Game 2 of Los Angeles’ sec-ond-round playoff se-ries against the Sharks after a hard hit from San Jose’s Raffi Torres in the opener.
Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter implied Wednesday that Stoll could be out for a signif-
icant length of time after getting hit by Torres, who has a history of dangerous play.
Torres hit Stoll late in the second period of the defending Stanley Cup champions’ 2-0 victory over San Jose on Tues-day. Stoll didn’t return.
Torres is expected to have an in-person disci-plinary hearing with NHL officials over the
hit. Game 2 is Thursday night.
Sutter says he thought the hit was “careless.” A suspension for Torres wouldn’t make him feel better be-cause “our player is quite a bit more import-ant than theirs.”
Torres will have an in-person hearing with the Department of Play-er Safety on Thursday.
Winterhawks gear up for a run at the Memorial Cup
C ANADIAN PRESS
PORTLAND, Ore. - After winning their first Western Hockey League title in 15 years, the Portland Winter-hawks took time to party with the city’s loyal hockey fans, capped off by a down-town rally attended by thousands.
An hour after leav-ing Tuesday’s celebra-
tion, the Winterhawks were back on the ice for practice, focused on the next task at hand: the Memorial Cup.
Reviled by many around the league for their rapid ascent from the league basement to three straight WHL fi-nals, the Winterhawks won the Ed Chynoweth Cup just over five months after being
handed the stiffest sanctions in major ju-nior hockey history.
Portland will now compete with the host Saskatoon Blades, On-tario Hockey League champion London Knights and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champion Hali-fax Mooseheads for the top prize in major ju-nior hockey.

Submit ted The Mount Baker ju-
nior girls basketball team recently attended the B.C. provincial championship tourna-ment in Langley, where they finished in 10th place.
Before entering the tournament the team had captured three gold medals and two silvers in tournament competi-tions throughout the Okanagan region. With a record of 24 wins and 4 loses the team was given a power ranking of sev-enth in the pool of six-teen.
In the team’s first match they faced Mc-Math Secondary School from the Lower Main-land zone. This proved
to be a tough match up, on the large open court and the girls fell to a tough zone defense by 6 points.
In their second match the team re-gained their composure and defeated Nechako Secondary from the North West seed. The team defeated Nechako by 15, to move on to face their next opponent where they went on to beat South Kamloops by 12 points.
Their final match fea-tured a squad from Little Flower Academy, which consisted of a team of three Team BC Players. In a hard fought game with various lead chang-es, the Mount Baker girls fell by one point to claim
10th place overall.“This was a great ac-
complishment for our school, and the players were great ambassadors of our community. The support by local busi-ness sometimes goes unnoticed but is crucial to allow us to continue to compete,” said coach Joe Tank.
Though the team had a successful season on the court, it wouldn’t have been possible without help from the Cranbrook business community. Businesses were pleased to help out one of the most success-ful basketball teams the school has seen in ten or more years and were glad to contribute over half of the team’s $5,000
in expenses. It is often not recognized that such a trip would not be pos-sible without this finan-cial aid.

Blackhawks edge Detroit Red Wings 4-1 in series openerJay Cohen
Associated Press
CHICAGO - Maybe it was the extra rest, or an-other raucous crowd at the United Center. Maybe it was just the re-sumption of one of the NHL’s biggest rivalries.
Whatever it was, the Chicago Blackhawks fi-nally found that extra gear they talked about for days.
Johnny Oduya and Marcus Kruger scored in the third period, Corey Crawford made 20 saves and the Black-hawks beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 in the opener of their sec-ond-round playoff se-ries Wednesday night.
“Much better from our prior series,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “I thought what we’re talking about in our team game was in place. Had some pace, had some speed, zone time, and I thought every-body contributed.”
In the wake of Chica-go’s five-game victory over Minnesota in the first round, Quenneville talked about a higher
level of intensity, and each of his biggest stars echoed his comments. The response was a dominant final two peri-ods in the Blackhawks’ first game in the West-ern Conference semifi-nals since they won the Stanley Cup in 2010.
Marian Hossa had the opening goal in the first, and Patrick Sharp finished with an emp-ty-netter and two assists to give him nine points in the post-season.
“I thought it was our best game of the play-offs, no question,” Sharp said.
Jimmy Howard had 38 stops in a terrific per-formance, but Detroit still lost to rival Chicago for the eighth straight time dating to last sea-son.
“I think in the first it was pretty even, but then I think in the sec-ond and third they looked like they had a little more energy than we did,” Red Wings cap-tain Henrik Zetterberg said. “It’s going to be nice to have a day off to-morrow and practice and then looking for-ward to Game 2.”
The series resumes on Saturday afternoon at the United Center.
The 75th all-time playoff game between the Blackhawks and Red Wings was tied at 1 after two periods, and How-ard made a great stop on a breakaway by Dave Bolland 4 1/2 minutes into the third.
Chicago kept work-ing and went in front to stay on a heady play by Oduya. He drifted in from the point and sent Sharp’s pass past How-ard on the glove side with 12 minutes left.
“Getting the win is the only thing that actu-ally matters,” Oduya said. “Like I said, anyone could have scored that goal at that point. We
had a lot of chances and I’m lucky I got it in there.”
Kruger then jumped on a loose puck and sent a backhander into the upper right corner to make it 3-1. That was more than enough for Crawford, who caught a break when Damien Brunner’s rebound at-tempt went off the cross-bar and straight down before Brent Seabrook swept it away with about three minutes left.
The opener of the 16th playoff series be-tween the Original Six teams was the first game for Chicago since it elim-
inated Minnesota last Thursday. Detroit closed out Anaheim with a 3-2 win in Game 7 on Sun-day night, taking the final two games of the series against the sec-ond-seeded Ducks.
Despite the long break, there was no sign of rust for the Black-hawks. The Red Wings skated right with Chica-go at the start, but they couldn’t keep up at the end of the game and coach Mike Babcock said they were looking forward to a day off.
“We’re not trying to take anything away from them,” he said. “They
were better than us. The score tonight was more than fair as far as I’m concerned. They were better.”
The Blackhawks struck first in the first playoff game between the teams since Detroit won the 2009 Western Conference final. With Gustav Nyquist in the box for hooking, Sharp forced a turnover along the boards and Jonathan Toews sent the puck to Hossa, who one-timed it past Howard at 9:03.
Detroit needed less than two minutes to re-spond, tying it when Brunner poked in a re-
bound for his third ca-reer playoff goal. The rookie centre also con-tributed three assists in the first round against the Ducks.
The Blackhawks killed off two power plays created by penal-ties on Andrew Shaw. They killed off another one when Nick Leddy was sent off for delay of game in the second peri-od, making them a per-fect 20 for 20 on the pen-alty kill in the post-sea-son and sinking Detroit to 1 for 18 on power plays against Chicago, including the regular season.

MIAMI - Knowing his team needed him at his best, Dwyane Wade retreated to the Miami Heat locker room after the third quarter for some quick treatment on his aching right knee.
When he came back, he was good as new.
And now he can rest until the Eastern Con-ference finals.
LeBron James scored 23 points, Wade added 18 and had a brilliant 45-second se-quence that proved crucial, and the Heat clawed back from an 11-point second-half deficit to beat the Chi-cago Bulls 94-91 on
Wednesday night and close out their sec-ond-round series in five games.
“We gave it every-thing we had,” James said. “I have no energy left.”
The Heat outscored Chicago 25-14 in the fourth quarter to es-cape and advance.
“I knew the fourth
quarter was going to be tough so I wanted to re-tape my knee,” said Wade, who has been battling bone bruises on his knee for several weeks. “I knew I was going to come back into a grind. Our trainers did a great job of getting it taped it enough so I could come out and play.”
Heat top Bulls for berth in east finals
“I thought it was the best game of the
playoffs, no question.”

Bayshore water views, Victorian rowhouses, the iconic Golden
Gate Bridge, and glori-ous flower laden parks are a few of the reasons why San Francisco is one postcard view after an-other.
Start your SFO expe-rience at the famous Golden Gate Bridge. A unique way to really get a feel for the enormity of the bridge is on a bicycle or by walking. Both are easily done using the bridge’s bike lane or footpath.
For some visitors Al-catraz holds an historic interest. This prison was home to such famous criminals as Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly and Mickey Cohen. A guided tour of the prison re-veals cramped cells and a creepy hospital wing, along with stories of fan-tastic escape attempts and the prison’s famous personalities.
Not far from the en-ergetic waterfront you
can immerse yourself in the city’s multicultural mix. Stroll the streets of North America’s oldest Chinatown and walk through lovely North Beach, referred to as “Little Italy.”
San Francisco is a city that lends itself well to walking and has us-er-friendly public tran-sit. Jump aboard the city’s cable cars: fea-tured in nearly every movie set in San Fran-cisco. The transit infra-structure is moving his-tory that has been run-ning up and down the steep hills of the city since 1873.
San Francisco is made up of neighbour-hoods. Nob Hill enjoys a well-deserved reputa-tion for its privileged and swanky style. Union Square is a cosmopoli-tan gathering place, per-fect for sitting in the sun, enjoying a coffee and people-watching. You will almost certainly trip over a public concert, or an outdoor art exhibit.
San Fran offers postcard viewsThe eclectic California city has lots to explore, says Diane Manson of Mountain City Travel
The streets surrounding Union Square are a shopper’s paradise. (Be sure to allow ample time at Williams-Sonoma’s flagship store!) Mission Bay, Japantown, and the bohemian Haight-Ash-bury are just a few neighbourhoods that make up this compact, vibrant city.
Sport enthusiasts have no shortage of games to watch and teams to cheer for – San Fransisco and area fea-tures the SFO 49’ers,
Oakland Raiders, SFO Giants, Oakland Athlet-ics, and the San Jose Sharks.
Theatre goers delight in the endless choices of Broadway productions, concerts, plays, musi-cals and symphony.
Foodies will revel in the endless number of restaurants. The most discerning of palates will want to return to this city again and again.
There’s never a bad time to explore this northern-coastal-city of
California, however if you are looking for the warmest, driest time of year, visit San Fransisco in September or Octo-ber. This is the perfect time of year for clear skies for your “postcard views” of this remark-able, eclectic city!

Selling your goods or services to the B.C. GovernmentEvery year, the Province of British Columbia buys goods and services from businesses of all sizes and types.
Your business could be one of them.
WHAT DOES THE B.C. GOVERNMENT BUY?Think of almost any product or service and we’ve probably bought it. The B.C. government- which currently includes 16 ministries and eight central agencies – regularly buys a wide range of goods and services from suppliers in British Columbia and elsewhere to support the programs and services we deliver to the people of British Columbia.
WHO CAN SELL TO THE B.C. GOVERNMENT?Individuals and businesses of all types –including corporations, limited partnerships, co-operatives and not-for-profit societies-are encouraged to respond to B.C. Government big opportunities.
WHAT IS A BC BID?BC Bid is an on-line service where you can quickly and easily access B.C. Government and other B.C./ public sector bid opportunities and bid results.
There is no charge to browse BC Bid opportunities and you do not have to register to visit the site. You can search for bid opportunities or bid results by category – goods or services – and by organization, commodity and several other search criteria.
There is no charge to bid on government bid opportunities. For a modest annual fee you can receive specific notifications relevant to the goods and supplies you supply, and have the option to respond to b ids electronically through BC Bid.
For more information of BC Bid, please visit www.bcbid.gov.bc.ca or call the BC Bid help desk at 250 387 7301
What is it? Welcom-ing Communities is an initiative of the provin-cial and federal govern-ments with a two-fold purpose. One is to help new immigrants (de-fined as being in Cana-da for less than 10 years) integrate more easily into Canadian society and the other is to help communities be more welcoming to im-migrants. The Welcom-ing Communities proj-ect is a combination of settlement work (direct services to immigrants) and projects seeking to promote the two objec-tives noted.
What is happening in Cranbrook? The Columbia Basin Alli-ance for Literacy (CBAL) was the suc-cessful applicant for this area (Cranbrook and Kimberley) and is now working with project partners to de-liver the two objec-tives. CBAL has two responsibilities one is to over-see the projects and to provide settle-ment services. Cur-rently there are 6 proj-e c t p a r t n e r s i n Cranbrook and a simi-lar number in Kimber-ley. The projects range from “Living Librar-
ies” with the Cran-brook Public Library to a family mentoring program with Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
There is one gap in the project palette and that is work targeted to the business community. Representatives of CBAL and the Cham-ber recently met to see how the Chamber could be involved. There are two pro-grams available for de-livery: one provides information to em-ployers about the ben-efits of hiring an immi-grant (not bringing
temporary foreign workers) and the skills needed in dealing with immigrants wishing to use their service. The other program is for employees – those who meet or deal with customers and who can benefit from learn-ing how to be more welcoming to immi-grants, unfamiliar with Canadian culture, and assisting them. The Chamber looks for-ward to working clos-ing with CBAL on this initiative.

DRINKING WATER WEEK
When you turn on your tap and clean, safe water comes out, do you ever wonder how it got there or what happens to it when it goes down the drain? Or why you should care?
“We may think we have enough water for our needs in BC but that is not always the case. Our water is fi nite, and the demand is increasing due to climate change, popula-tion growth and industry needs,” says Daisy Foster, CEO of the 4,700-member BC Water & Waste Association. “Although the ex-penses may not be apparent, there are signifi cant costs, energy and human input required to treat our drinking water to be clean and safe, deliver it to our taps, and manage the wastewater that goes down the drain.”
She adds, “New regulations and aging infrastructure such as pipes and treatment systems will mean upgrades and replacements and this is something we are all going to have to pay for.”
During Drinking Water Week, May 20 – 26, BC Water & Waste Association asks you to ‘Get to Know Your H2O’ and think about the impact of your ev-eryday habits.
“We forget that we use the same treated drinking water to wash our cars and water our lawns. We fl ush our toilets and away it goes with whatever we
put down there,” says Foster. “Just a few simple changes such as watering our lawns less, using
rain barrels, installing water effi -cient fi xtures or appliances, and not putting harmful substances down our drains can make a big difference.”
For example, detergents, paint, medications, and many other household products end up at wastewater treatment plants where special processes are required to minimize the impact on the environment and receiving waters. Fats, oils and grease that we put down our drains can often cause blockages in sewer lines resulting in costly repairs.
Foster says, “During Drinking Water Week, get involved and learn more about your water and the impact of your actions. Start by taking the Community Water Challenge and pledge to be water wise.”
The five easy pledges can be taken online. Peo-ple can also find out about community events such as tours of water and wastewater treatment facilities in their area, or download fun and edu-cational activities for children and families, at
www.drinkingwaterweek.org.
We need to value our drinking water

In accordance with the tradition of the Public Works Association, those who work in professions that provide and maintain public facilities and services will be honoured the week of May 19 to 25, 2013.
WHAT: Public Open House WHERE: Kimberley’s Public Works Yard 250 Knighton Road, Kimberley WHEN: Wednesday May 22nd, 2013 8:30 am until 3:00 pm Lunch will be provided at 11:00 AM WHY: To celebrate the contribution of Public Works Professionals as well as the communities they serve.
The objective of this event is designed to increase public awareness of their contributions as well as enlighten the public about the duties, practices and goals of Public Works Professionals.
Public Works Professionals include those who manage water, sewer and waste removal systems as well as those responsible for maintaining public buildings and grounds. They are, in short, the people who maintain and improve the systems and services vital to a community’s health, safety and comfort.
There will be hot dogs, hamburgers and water for those wishing refreshments while they view either the static displays of equipment or any of the six stations that are manned by City of Kimberley’s Public Works Professionals.
The six displays include: 1. Excavator 2. Loader 3. Grader 4. Boom Truck – Watch how a street light is fixed! 5. Water & Sewer - information and demonstrations. Ever wonder how they tap into a pressurized water system? 6. Pollution Control Centre – pictures and information.

■ The average British Columbian uses 353 litres of water per day, yet thinks they use less than 200 litres per day.*
■ 78 per cent of British Columbians would fix an Internet outage within a day, but only 50 per cent would fix a leaky faucet within the same time frame.*
■ Replacing an 18-litre-per-flush toilet with an ultra low volume 6-litre or less model leads to a 66% savings in water flushed and will reduce indoor water use by about 30%.

Pain in golf shouldn’t be par for the course
(NC)—Considering the number of times a swing is repeated during a game of golf, it’s not surprising that the season often ends early for those who are not physically prepared.
Every year, chiropractors treat countless golfers for injuries that could easily have been prevented.
Below are a few simple stretching techniques that can help prevent or reduce the impact of injuries:
Side bending stretch:
1. Stand with feet shoul-der-width apart.
2. Hold the golf club above your head with your arms straight.
3. Slowly bend to one side, without rotating, until you feel a stretch in the side of your back.
4. Hold for 15 seconds and repeat twice for each side.
Shoulder stretch:
1. Hold the shaft of a golf club vertically behind your back.
2. Gently pull the club up with your top hand until you feel a slight stretch in the shoulder of your lower
arm. Hold for 15 seconds.
3. Gently pull the club down with your bottom hand until you feel a stretch in the top shoulder and arm
4. Hold for 15 seconds.
5. Reverse hand positions and repeat.

Cecelia Crocker shows a tattoo inspired by her 1987 crash survival as a child.
Mike HouseHolderAssociated Press
DETROIT — Cecelia Crocker’s body provides her with a constant re-minder of the most trau-matic event of her life — one that she doesn’t otherwise remember.
At only four years old, Crocker was the lone survivor of a 1987 plane crash that killed 154 people aboard and two on the ground near Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Her parents and brother were among those killed.
In the new docu-mentary, “Sole Survi-vor,’’ Crocker breaks her silence, discussing how the crash of the Phoe-nix, Arizona-bound jet-liner has affected her.
“I think about the ac-cident every day. It’s kind of hard not to think about it when I look in the mirror,’’ she said. “I have visual scars. My arms and my legs. And I have a scar on my fore-head.’’
Crocker, 30, also sports an airplane tattoo on her left wrist.
“I got this tattoo as a reminder of where I’ve come from. I see it as — so many scars were put on my body against my will — and I decided to put this on my body for myself,’’ she says in the film.
“Sole Survivor’’ is ex-pected to have its theat-rical premiere later this year. The filmmakers permitted The Associat-ed Press to view the film.
The movie focuses on Crocker — known as
Lone survivor of 1987 US airplane crash that killed 156 breaks silence
Cecelia Cichan at the time of the crash — as well as three other “sole survivors’’ of plane crashes: George Lam-son Jr., a then 17-year-old who was aboard a Galaxy Airlines flight that crashed in Reno, Nevada, in 1985; Bahia Bakari, a 12-year-old girl who lived through a Ye-menia Airways flight that crashed near the Comoros Islands in 2009; and Jim Polehin-ke, the co-pilot of a 2006 Comair flight that crashed in Kentucky.
It’s been more than a quarter-century since Northwest Airlines Flight 255 crashed in the Detroit suburb of Romulus. The plane was just clearing the runway at 8:46 p.m. on Aug. 16, 1987, when it tilted slightly. The left
wing clipped a light pole, and the damaged airliner sheared the top off a rental car build-ing.
The National Trans-portation Safety Board concluded the plane’s crew failed to set the wing flaps properly for takeoff.
The agency also said a cockpit warning sys-tem did not alert the crew to the problem.
Crocker was raised by her aunt and uncle who shielded her from the media and others who sought to delve into her unique past.
Crocker said the enormity of what had happened didn’t really hit her for a while.
“When I realized I was the only person to survive that plane crash, I was maybe in middle
school, high school, maybe, being an adoles-cent and confused,’’ said Crocker, who was inter-viewed by the film’s di-rector, Ky Dickens, over 1.5 hours in September 2011.
“So it was just extra stress for me. I remem-ber feeling angry and survivor’s guilt. ‘Why didn’t my brother sur-vive? Why didn’t any-body? Why me?’’’
As for returning to the air, Crocker “feels fine flying and does so quite often,’’ Dickens said.
“Flying doesn’t scare me. I have this mentality where if something bad happened to me once on a plane, it’s not going to happen again,’’ Crock-er says in the film. “The odds are just astronomi-cal.’’

NASHVILLE — A U.S. appeals court has denied asylum to a Christian family who fled Germa-ny so they could home-school their children, ruling that immi-gration laws do not grant a safe haven to people who face restric-tions that would be prohibited under the Constitution.
Many U.S. home-school fami-lies and evangelical Christians have taken up the cause of Uwe and Hannelore Romeike, who faced fines and the threat of los-ing custody of their children be-cause they refused to comply with Germany’s compulsory
school attendance law.In 2008, the Romeikes moved
from Germany to the U.S. and applied for asylum.
On Tuesday, a three-member panel of U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Romeikes do not meet the criteria for asy-lum.
“The question is ... whether the Romeikes have established the prerequisites of an asylum claim — a well-founded fear of persecution on account of a pro-tected ground,’’ the court wrote. In this case, that protected ground is religious freedom.
The court found that the Ger-
man government treats all tru-ants the same, regardless of their reasons for not attending school.
The U.S. government said in court documents the Romeikes did not belong to any particular Christian denomination and de-scribed the parents’ objections to the government-approved schools as vague.
For instance, Uwe Romeike claimed that the schools taught witchcraft based on a game played by classmates of his wife when she was in school “that in-volved pushing chairs and glasses around, and dangling a pendu-lum.’’

daily townsman / daily Bulletin
Dear Annie: I have an 8-month-old pup-py, and I take her to a local dog park so she can run off leash and play with the other dogs, which she loves. In the three months I have been taking her, “Phoebe” has never been attacked or fought with another dog. That was until last night, when Phoebe ap-proached another dog that was on a leash and that dog attacked her. My puppy whim-pered and howled while being bitten on her neck and back. I tried to get her away, but the other dog was so vicious.
The owner of the other dog just stood there making no effort to pull his dog away, nor did he apologize. I finally extracted Phoebe from the other dog’s mouth. As I was walking away, the owner said he doesn’t know why his dog doesn’t like other dogs. I was too shaken to reply. Besides, I felt sorry for the vicious dog, wondering what could have happened to make him like that.
Luckily, Phoebe was not severely injured. I did my best to soothe her, but it took sever-al minutes to calm her down. Before I left the park, I warned other owners about the dog that attacked mine.
Why would someone bring a dog that hates other dogs to a dog park? There is a gentleman who arranged for the park to ex-ist and is the “leader.” Should I tell him what happened? I don’t want to get the park shut down, which is why I didn’t call the police. What do I do? -- Phoebe’s Human Mom
Dear Mom: If the park has a “leader,” then he is the person to notify. This owner seems ignorant of dog behavior and may have been trying to “socialize” his dog by bringing the animal to a pet-friendly park. But it sounds as if that dog needs training. It would be a kindness for someone to point that out to him and make a referral before an animal is seriously hurt.
Dear Annie: As an alcoholic in recov-ery, it was interesting to me to observe the self-righteousness in my family about my addiction as they went through their heart surgeries stemming from their addictions to chocolate cake, bacon and cherry pies. They are just as addicted to food as I am to alcohol.
They say it’s “different,” but how is it more legitimate to grab a doughnut when under stress than to pour myself a cocktail? In spite of their heart surgeries and the struggle of carrying 300 pounds on a body designed for 150, they somehow see slamming down a cherry cobbler as acceptable, but my having a beer is a sin.
Moderation in all aspects of our lives might not be a bad idea. -- No Hypocrite in Paducah, Ky.
Dear Paducah: Addictions, regardless of type, involve the inability to control one’s appetite, whether it be for food, drugs, li-quor, gambling, whatever. Unlike most oth-er addictions, however, one cannot give up food altogether. So while we agree that there is hypocrisy, and of course moderation is best, there is in fact a difference between food, which is necessary for life, and alco-hol, which is not. Imagine how much harder it would be to control your addiction if you were told that you absolutely must have three shots a day, but not a fourth. Or a beer. Or a replacement from the well-stocked pantry. Not an excuse, mind you. Just an ob-servation.
Dear Annie: I agree with “Retired Teach-er” about high school guidance counselors. She is right on the money.
Guidance counselors are not in schools to assist students with personal problems. That isn’t even in their job description. Their primary function is to advise students about the courses they need to graduate. After that, a multitude of assessment responsibilities fill their time. While many may wish they could counsel to the emotional well-being of their students, they simply don’t have the time. -- K.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sug-ar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Don’t worry if you wake up grumpy, because your mood will change quickly. Whether someone brought you dough-nuts or a different type of treat, you have reason to smile. Creativity and good vibes work well with your spontaneous nature. Tonight: Continue being spontaneous.TAURUS (April 20-May 20)You are anchored, and you know what you want. Someone might try to nudge you off that position, as it could come off as stubbornness. When you see the futility of continuing as you have been, others will notice. Be willing to try a suggestion. Tonight: Head home.GEMINI (May 21-June 20)Keep a conversation moving, and don’t allow negativity to flow in. If you feel tired or drained, consider a checkup with the doctor. Once you relax, someone will share more of his or her thoughts. What you learn
could surprise you. Tonight: Go with the moment.CANCER (June 21-July 22)Put 100 percent into whatever you do. You see what others don’t. They appreciate your in-sights, depending on how they are delivered. A little diplomacy goes a long way. Try to stabilize a situation. A boss might make an unusual demand. Tonight: Run errands.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)A conversation is important, but don’t make it a bigger deal than need be. In fact, a touch of lightness and concern will produce better, more positive results. The unexpected could play into your plans. You might hear news that forces you to re-group. Tonight: All smiles.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)A conversation could be affect-ing your mood, and therefore your plans. Could you be mak-ing more of a comment than what was meant? Talk to an old-er friend or loved one. This per-son’s insight will help you find the answer. Tonight: Do for you.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
A meeting could alter your plans. Your ability to get past an immediate issue will help you to function on a higher level once again. You could hear some unexpected, good news from a close loved one. Verify the de-tails before taking any action. Tonight: Where the crowds are.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)You might be limiting yourself with self-imposed restrictions. Take today and live in the mo-ment by listening to what oth-ers are really thinking, feeling or saying. This detachment will help you determine how to break down your own barriers. Tonight: Could be late. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Get past a momentary sense of insecurity. You might discover that a bright new perspective will greet you as a result, which makes interactions fun, lively and worthwhile. A loved one could act in a way that forces you to give him or her attention. Tonight: Why stop?CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Work with an individual direct-ly, and you’ll receive the results
you want. Though your friends might mean well, they don’t always have the best sense of direction. Don’t ask for advice; however, if someone offers some, remember to be polite. Tonight: Chat over dinner.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Others seek you out, because they enjoy your perspective. En-joy all of the activity, and know that you are valued. Touch base with a child or loved one. Some-times you get so busy that you forget to make time for a phone call or a caring gesture. Tonight: Hang out with a good friend.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)You might want to turn a situ-ation around, but you’ll need to work within established boundaries. Use caution with any financial investments, as plans are likely to backfire right now. Avoid any careless spend-ing, and be sure to count your change. Tonight: At a favorite place.BORN TODAYActress Megan Fox (1986), actor Pierce Brosnan (1953), singer Janet Jackson (1966) ***

By Morgan Pelletier
Watching Uncle Forest hop onto an inner tube to be cata-pulted backwards into a river; watching Aunt Luella trying to save Uncle Forest but actually almost drowning and popping a floaty while travelling down-stream at about 50 mph was not what I thought when my par-ents told me we were going to a family reunion.
It all started when Uncle Ed-wards suggested everyone fol-low him to a perfect spot to start floating down the river. I’m pretty sure everyone regretted it once we followed him through knee high mud and we were all drenched in sweat when we got to the spot, which seemed like 50 of us crammed into the ankle deep river and set our inner tubes down. The slippery rocks and the strong current made it quite difficult to stay standing.
On the count of three we all gently sat on our tubes careful not to fall into the mighty river. All the cousins and aunts grabbed on to each other so that we could make sure not to separate, but with some butts being larger than others and getting caught on the rocks in the shallow rapids, it took us quite a while to finally get to the deep part of the river a few feet away.
The flow of the river was less intense in the deep wide part of the river so our big convoy slowly made our way through it.
As we gradually floated we
heard Uncle Forest who still hadn’t got on his tube yell, “Here I come!” Jumping seven feet in the air and shoving his tube under his legs he almost made a perfect landing, but in-stead of landing in the centre he landed on the back of his inner tube, which hurled him back-wards off his tube and he land-ed head first into the river.
My sister and I couldn’t help but laugh as we watched him slowly arise out of the water.
About ten seconds after Uncle Forest had been flung awkwardly into the water, Aunt Luella flopped off her tube to rescue her little brother Forest, thinking he was badly hurt. Only in all her panic I think she forgot that she didn’t know how to swim. Being in the deep end of the river did not help her sit-uation, so instead of helping her, my grandma Patty just sat on her tube laughing at her older, drowning sister, Luella.
In the chaos and hilarity of the whole situation my grand-ma couldn’t stop cackling while she tried to save Aunt Luella and still hang on to the convoy of inner tubes floating down the river.
Aunt Luella finally climbed onto her tube that was still part of the convoy, but in the mix of helping Aunt Luella get on her tube, my Grandma Patty let go and was now fearfully laughing as the current got stronger, whisking her away to a branchy bush and some intense rapids.
It was her turn to be laughed at. Her tube hit the branchy bush, puncturing her tube, but it didn’t pop, there was just a steady “sssssss”. I could hear contagious cackles again as she began paddling to shore so her tube wouldn’t fully deflate and then she’d get wet. But she leaned forward too far because the back of her tube began lift-ing out of the water. Trying to shift her positioning, she made the wrong move and her arms began flailing as the tube dumped her into the deep cool water. Now the older of my grandma’s siblings, Great Aunt Lynn, started laughing hysteri-cally and, not watching where she was floating, she headed into the massive rapids back-wards.
By this time everyone had had one belly aching laugh and watching tidal waves of water drenching Aunt Lynn made our bellies hurt even more.
Thankfully the river flowed right into my Aunt Luella’s backyard so we didn’t have to trek seven miles back in knee high mud. Everyone was ex-hausted from all the belly bust-ing we had done. It truly had been a good day.
Next time my parents tell me we are going to a family reunion at Aunt Luella’s; I will never ex-pect it to be mundane again.

Kali, a polar bear cub orphaned when its mother was killed by a hunter in northwest alaska, climbs the screen of his cage on Monday, May 13, 2013, at the alaska Zoo in anchorage, alaska.
C arolyn thoMPsonAssociated Press
BUFFALO, N.Y. — It may have been the most anticipated package ever delivered to the Buffalo Zoo: an or-phaned polar bear cub that arrived Wednesday from Alaska and will spend the summer with another cub born six months ago.
Kali arrived aboard a UPS flight at Buffalo Ni-agara International Air-port shortly before 5:30 a.m., ending a 14-hour trip that was set in mo-tion in March when a hunter in Alaska real-ized an adult female bear he’d killed was nursing.
“He followed the tracks back to the den, crawled down inside, found a cub, pulled it out, put it in his cover-alls, rode it back into Point Lay and then got hold of U.S. Fish and Wildlife,’’ said Patrick Lampi, executive direc-tor of the Alaska Zoo, which has cared for the bear since.
Called Kali after the Inupiat name for Point Lay, the male cub now weighs 65 pounds (29 1/2 kilograms) and is es-timated to be just less than 5 months old. It would have been unable to care for itself in the wild, experts said. Young polar bears stay with their mothers for about 2 years.
In Buffalo, it will slowly be introduced to Luna, a female polar bear born Nov. 27 that has become a visitor fa-vourite and the face of an $18 million fundrais-ing campaign for a planned Arctic exhibit and new zoo entrance. Experts said both cubs will benefit from inter-acting with each other rather than only human caretakers.
A few hours after Ka-
Polar bear cub orphaned in Alaska lands at NY zoo
li’s arrival, the cubs were in adjacent dens, able to smell and hear each other but prevented by a solid barrier from visual and physical contact. The next step will be to replace the barrier with mesh.
“Then they can have some limited physical contact, visual contact,’’ zoo president Donna Fernandes said. “If that goes well and they’re spending lots of time near each other by the mesh barrier and show-ing interest, then we can gradually open it up a little bit, give them room for a paw to go through.
“If they’re not swip-ing at each other and it looks good, we’ll open the door a little bit more, a little bit more, until they get a full physical introduction,’’ Fer-nandes said at a press conference as Luna, be-
hind a glass partition, dove over and over into a pond, pounced on a toy ark and ball, and wrestled with shrub-bery.
“When you have adult animals, it can be more problematic,’’ Fer-nandes said, “but I don’t think we’ll have a prob-lem with these young guys. I think they’ll be very excited to have a playmate.’’
Kali, expected to stay in Buffalo six months, made the 4,400-mile (7,080-kilometre) trip in a stainless steel crate, tended to by handlers given Federal Aviation Administration clear-ance to be on the cargo deck, UPS Capt. Jon Burrows said.
The Buffalo Zoo hopes Kali will be a per-manent resident, but the decision will be up to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

NEW YORK — Co-lumbia University is seeking to change the terms of a 93-year-old fellowship that can only be awarded to white stu-dents from Iowa.
The Lydia C. Roberts Graduate Fellowship stipulates that money be given only to “a per-son of the Caucasian race.’’
Roberts left Colum-bia most of her $509,000 estate when she died in 1920 and created the highly restrictive fellow-ship. In addition to the “whites only’’ rule, fel-lows must be from Iowa, must not study law or
several other fields and must return to Iowa for two years after graduat-ing.
University officials filed court papers last week in support of a move by the fund’s ad-ministrator, JPMorgan Chase Bank, seeking to change the race provi-sions of the bequest.
The Daily News re-ports that the Ivy league school hasn’t awarded the fellowship since 1997.
“Columbia long ago ceased awarding the fellowships in question and does not follow gift conditions that violate anti-discr imination
laws,’’ the university said in a statement Wednesday. “It should go without saying that a university rightly known for the great di-versity of its student body is as offended as
anyone by the require-ments of these fellow-ships.’’
According to the affi-davit, the current value of the trust is $840,000, and it earned $26,000 in income in 2011.
