Salmon vital for treaty review: Ktunaxa SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
A week after the B.C. government released its principles for negotiation of the Columbia River Treaty renewal, the Ktunaxa Nation is urging negotiators to keep salmon restoration on the table.
“While we have achieved a remarkable amount of consensus, our negotiators have not reached common ground with B.C. on all matters relating to the possible renewal of the treaty,” said Ktunaxa Nation Council Chair Kathryn Teneese.
“We have sharply divergent views on whether the restoration of upper Columbia salmon is a matter that should be addressed within a renegotiated Columbia River Treaty. “Our view is that salmon restoration is largely about the management of dams which
currently block fish passage and the management of river flows on both sides of the border, and both of these management issues are at the heart of the Columbia River Treaty.”

CITY COUNCIL
Sparks fly over highway projects SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
A discussion about projects to improve the Highway 3 corridor through Cranbrook struck a nerve with city council at its regular Monday, March 17 meeting. The Highway 3/95 Revitalization Committee brought a recommendation of three priority projects to council for approval. The projects are as follows: 1. Fix or replace the “Welcome to Cran-
brook” sign at the city’s north entrance; 2. create a path from the end of Rotary Trail at the Prestige to Elizabeth Lake; and 3. upgrade way-finding signage to direct traffic off the highway and to city attractions such as parks and recreational facilities. Mayor Wayne Stetski explained that the first project has about $11,000 allotted for it in the 2014 budget.

According to Lento, while McPhee’s title may have been director of instruction/safety officer, the board relied on McPhee for a number of additional vital services. Aside from his role as director of instruction and safety, McPhee was also responsible for aboriginal education, technology and a significant portion of the dis-
trict’s yearly achievement contracts. McPhee began his career with SD5 in 1989 at Parkland Junior Secondary School, progressing to administration and eventually to the district office. He became interested in restorative justice in 2004 when he was given the responsibility for district suspension meetings. Working with schools to gradually change the focus of student discipline to include and embrace restorative practices, McPhee is one of only two provincial restorative justice trainers recognized by the RCMP for this region. “The board is grateful to Doug for his many years of service,” said Lento. “Doug has always made students and families his top priority.”

Columbia River Treaty talks must Bozon donations include salmon, Ktunaxa says reach $3,700 Continued from page 1
The B.C. government’s decision on the Columbia River Treaty review includes a principle regarding the salmon that says: “Salmon migration into the Columbia River in Canada was eliminated by the Grand Coulee Dam in 1938 (26 years prior to Treaty ratification), and is currently not a Treaty
issue. British Columbia’s perspective is that the management of anadromous salmon populations is the responsibility of the Government of Canada and that restoration of fish passage and habitat, if feasible, should be the responsibility of each country regarding their respective infrastructure.”
But Teneese says salmon restoration is crucial. “The Joint Engagement Report states that salmon restoration in the upper Columbia is a matter of federal government jurisdiction and would require a joint effort between the U.S. and Canada. This transboundary cooperation is essential if we

are to restore upriver salmon.” Ratified in 1964, the Columbia River Treaty is a management agreement between the two countries that allowed for four dams to be built on the Columbia River, three in B.C. and one in the U.S. – Libby Dam on Koocanusa. Columbia Basin Trust, a Crown corporation, was created in 1995 to support social, economic and environmental well-being in the Columbia River Basin using some of the proceeds of the treaty. The treaty doesn’t have an end date, but the U.S. and Canada have the chance to terminate the agreement on or after September 16, 2024. Either side has to give at least 10 years’ notice of the termination, meaning that both sides were reviewing the future options of the treaty ahead of the September 2014 deadline. Following extensive consultations during the two-year treaty review process, Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett, Kootenay East’s MLA, announced

on March 13 that B.C. wants to continue the treaty, and outlined 14 principles that will guide the province in negotiations with the U.S. Teneese said that negotiators for the Ktunaxa Nation were a key part of the B.C. government’s consultation over the Columbia River Treaty. The treaty principles include provisions for the assessment and management of Ktunaxa cultural heritage resources. “No group in British Columbia has been more affected by the environmental, economic and cultural impacts of the Columbia River Treaty than First Nations,” said Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Nation Council Chair. “These impacts can still be felt in our communities today. As Ktunaxa, we have a responsibility to care for the land, which is why it was vital that we participate in the joint engagement process with the Province. It is a testament to the hard work of both governments we were able to come to such a broad agreement on how we will work together towards the renewal of the Columbia River Treaty.” The U.S. is yet to state its position on the Columbia River Treaty. It has until the September 2014 deadline to make that clear.

people want to see the great work we do, and we want to show them,” says Sara Dubois, chief scientific officer, BC SPCA. “Because our job is to ensure there’s as little human contact as possible to help Wild ARC patients recover and return to a normal life in the wild, live streaming their daily activities gives the public the chance to see them at their unsuspecting best – or worst – usually with food on their faces.” Each year, Wild ARC admits nearly 2,500 injured and orphaned wild animals from southern Vancouver Island, and helps approximately 140 different species of wild animals, Dubois notes. “There are five ‘critter cameras’ with one live streaming at a time,” she says, explaining the live camera will be chosen by staff based on the best animal action at the time. “Understandably, our critters are not trained actors, but when the baby raccoons arrive in May, for example, the camera in the nursery will be on.” The Wild ARC live stream can be viewed at www.spca.bc.ca/crittercam.

Council discussion on highway tasks opens old wounds Continued from page 1 “We talked about taking the one from the other end of town if it’s in good enough shape and moving it up to that end of town. And then maybe getting some lights on it so that it shows up at night as well,” said Stetski. He also said that an artist has been asked to create a design for a new sign at the north entrance. “Once that sign is done, that may come back to council for questions as to whether council wanted to fund that out of surplus,” said Stetski. Project 2 also has some funding in the budget, he said – about $20,000. The third project is being discussed in meetings with the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the Ministry of Tourism. But some members of council were concerned that if they ap-
proved the highway projects, more money would be assigned without requiring further approval from council. “With regard to the entrance sign and the Rotary Trail, we do have small amounts in the budget but I would just like to make sure that it all comes to council and we know what’s going on and we know before we commit to the whole project – what it is all going to cost and who are the players and are we going to get money from the Ministry of Transportation,” said Councillor Diana J. Scott. “I’m not against these priorities at all but I just want to make sure that we know what we’re doing, council knows what we’re doing, we know where the money’s coming from, because I bet you it’s all going to cost a lot more than $30,000.” Councillor Angus Davis brought up the

It come back to council. happened, and we’ve I would argue that happened last time gone past it, but I as well” just feel that this is walking down the Mayor Wayne Stetski same path” Coun. Angus Davis upgrades to Cranbrook’s west entrance at Elizabeth Lake, which were completed last year. “Last time was a nightmare because we weren’t all appraised on it. That was unfortunate. It happened, and we’ve gone past it, but I just feel that this is walking down the same path. I think, sure, have the committee come up with a package. Let’s tell us what it costs and, chances are, yeah, go ahead. But this is where the decision has to be made, not at the committee level. And I say
that with all respect.” In the interest of compromise, Councillor Bob Whetham suggested that instead of approving the projects, council accept the list for information. “That way it’s clear it’s not an action item. We are receiving it, and we can choose to do what we wish with it,” said Whetham. “That’s how I read it, but obviously others are not reading it that way,” responded Mayor Stetski. Councillor Denise Pallesen said she was not comfortable even accepting the report.
“I’d like to see us just leave it alone,” she said. “I’m not sure that I want to take it even for information. Let’s wait and see. When these items do come up, then we can make a motion at that time. When we have the funds for it, then we can move forward with it.” Mayor Stetski insisted that council would still have the opportunity to approve the individual projects at a later stage. “The committee is saying: these are our three priorities. I don’t know whether we should be arguing with the committee’s priorities. In terms of the budgeting of these, I think that’s a separate discussion. We have already committed some money towards these projects out of the budget. If there is any additional money needed, it would come back to council. I would argue that happened the last time as well. I know there is a
difference of opinion, but it has always come to council for a council decision.” Councillor Scott said it was interesting that the committee was suggesting more signage on the strip, given council’s lengthy back-and-forth over the new sign bylaw, adopted in August 2013, which was sparked by a business’s request for an electronic reader board sign. “I find it slightly ironic that we are talking about putting up more signs along the highway when we had a big yearlong discussion about too many signs on the highway,” she said. Councillor Sharon Cross pointed out the two types of signs are not the same. “This kind of signage is quite a bit different from what we were talking about. Just like we have a hospital sign – it’s not a big billboard, it’s not humungous, it’s not flashing. It’s just a regular directional sign,”
she said. In the end, council voted unanimously not to approve the list of projects brought forward by the Highway 3/95 Revitalization Committee. Councillor Whetham’s motion to accept the report for information passed, but Councillor Pallesen was opposed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Syria was Iran’s closest ally in the Arab world, so this was not the right time to get into a confrontation with Iran. Nevertheless, somebody had to be punished or the intelligence services would look incompetent. The people who carried out the bombing for Iran had made some rudimentary attempts to put the blame on Libya, and the security services now started using that evidence to frame Megrahi. The evidence was full of holes, but the Libyan’s defence team did a poor job of exposing them, and he was convicted anyway. But with the appeal that would have exposed the truth smothered, all this remained mere conjecture until last week, when the al-Jazeera network broadcast an interview with Abolghassem Mesbahi, a former Iranian intelligence officer. Mesbahi, who once reported directly to the Iranian president, said it quite plainly: Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, gave direct orders for the destruction of an American airliner after the Vincennes incident in 1988. So the original hypothesis was correct, and the Western security services probably always knew it was correct. They don’t care; the case is closed, and with Megrahi’s appeal cancelled it will never be reopened. But it is worth noting that he was an innocent man, not a mass murderer, and that his life was cynically destroyed by the same people who brought us the invasion of Iraq, mass surveillance, and so much more.

What’s Up?
Letters to the Editor City on DCCs
B.C. Parks
I wish to comment on the issues raised by MLA Bill Bennett with regard to the City of Cranbrook and its Development Cost Charges (DCC)’s (Letter to the Editor, Townsman-March 17, 2014). It is important for me to clearly state, that at no time was either the Province of British Columbia nor the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development – Local Government Division ever the reason behind the failure of the City’s proposed DCC bylaw. That responsibility lies solely with City staff. Staff faced a number of significant challenges that resulted in the 18 month delay of getting the proposed DCC bylaw to the Province. This internal delay was unfortunately misinterpreted during Council’s discussion leaving a negative perception of the Ministry, which is unfortunate and unfair. The reality is that the updates being proposed in the City’s updated DCC bylaw were based on growth predictions included in the 2009 Growth Management Study (GMS) which also indicated a number of projects that would be required if those growth figures were met. In the end those projected growth numbers in the GMS never materialized due to a slower economy and a handful of major developments that stalled and many of those projects identified simply could not be justified. As a result, staff recommended to Council to rescind the proposed updates. Mayor and Council provided City staff with direction with respect to establishing new DCC’s for Cranbrook. It was the responsibility of staff to deliver on that direction and ultimately staff couldn’t deliver because the growth predictions were not being realized. The current DCC bylaw, established in 2004, will remain in place. City staff is now working to move ahead with establishing new growth projections and growth related projects which can be partially funded from DCC’s as per the provincial best practices guidelines. Our relationship with the Province and especially with the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development – Local Government Division has always been very professional and without their guidance and expertise the City could not have completed many plans and projects over the years. We certainly look forward to a continued strong and professional relationship going forward. Wayne Staudt Chief Administrative Officer City of Cranbrook
Bill 4 threatens the integrity of B.C.’s parks by opening the door for “research” into park boundary changes to make way for industrial development including pipelines, highways, transmission lines and mining. Wildsight and partner groups met with Ministry of Environment staff who told us that Bill 4 was brought forward to make it easier for film crews, who already get permits in parks, and that ministry policies would assure that research approvals and boundary changes would require “consideration” of park values before moving ahead. However, this is not what the Bill says. It specifically opens the door for research into boundary changes for industrial development. Government representatives have stated that industrial activities are not to be allowed in parks. Bill 4 allows industrial research in order to more easily take land out of parks to allow the activities. “Research” that would be approved by Bill 4 is aimed at boundary changes so that development can take place when parks are replaced by land open to industrial development. Please take action now for our parks by letting the minister know of your concerns. There is still an opportunity to get rid of Bill 4 by letting the Minister know that you care about our parks and do not want to see research and boundary alterations for industrial development. John Bergenske Executive Director Wildsight
B.C. Parks If the B.C. Liberal government amends the Park Act of B.C. to allow consideration of industrial uses, a stake will be driven through the heart of Beautiful British Columbia. Historically, and currently, B.C. Crown lands have supported industrial uses and as a public trust, B.C. Parks’ mission is/was to “protect … for world-class conservation, outdoor recreation and education”. Industrial use does not meld with world-class conservation. Consider industrial use on Crown land that does not have designated protection: world-class cutthroat fishing in the Elk River impacted by coal mining, white sturgeon in the Columbia River system endangered through dams; cariboo in the Selkirk Mountains almost extinct initially because of logging and the access provided through industry. The list goes on. It seems the B.C. Liberal’s
mandate is to turn B.C. into a big industrial park. I fear that if they stay in power—god forbid—B.C. Parks of the future will either be scarred with transmission lines full of invasive knapweed, blueweed, mullein and thistle or sliced by road access to mining operations. If the government is not willing to keep our parks protected for world-class conservation they have no right to flaunt us as Beautiful British Columbia. Pat Wray Cranbrook
Tax avoidance While listening to CBC Radio’s Sunday Edition I heard a story which made my blood boil. The host Micheal Enright was interviewing Dennis Howlett from an organization called Canadians for tax fairness. The topic was corporate tax avoidance which, though perfectly legal, results in the loss of hundreds of millions and perhaps billions of dollars annually in Canada. Not only do corporations pay a measly 15 per cent corporate income tax (down substantially from the recent past) they pay little or no tax by employing a hoard of clever accountants and lawyers who create shell companies to move capital to jurisdictions where tax rates are ridiculously low. This is at a time when many corporations are sitting on piles of cash. Meanwhile the hard-working honest folk of the land pick up the slack for the fatcats. I know it’s an old refrain but this has reached epidemic proportions. According to Mr. Howlett, corporations themselves are asking governments to reconsider this skewed tax system because taxpayer funded programs which support and produce the workforce that they rely on are not making the grade. There are solutions to this problem. We are often told by federal politicians that we can’t raise taxes or enforce a more stringent tax regime because the companies will pack their bags and move elsewhere. While this may be true in some sectors of the economy, it is a hollow threat in western Canada since most economic activity is resource-based. They can’t very well take the resources when they leave, can they? It may be possible to implement some sort of international agreement on taxation which would require that corporations pay a reasonable minimum amount and that this rev-

enue be accrued by the country where that company conducts its operations. For any citizen with two eyes and two ears the truth is plainly obvious. We are told repeatedly by the Prime Minister that projects like Northern Gateway will lead to “prosperity”. For whom, I would like to ask? Remember: this is the government that brought you a two-year increase in the age of eligibility for Old Age Security, such as it is. There have been many changes to this country under the Harper government. Their agenda is increasingly clear and it is not good for the environment or average citizens. Ask yourself this question come the next federal election: Will I and my country truly be better off under the current government? Jim Campbell Cranbrook
UPCOMING
Taseko Mines
ONGOING
The Vancouver-based Taseko Mines’ proposed new prosperity gold and copper mine in the Cariboo region has been approved by the B.C. government but has been continuously rejected by the federal government because it will be extremely damaging to the environment. Within the last few days, even Prime Minister Stephen Harper has denounced this project, saying that the project as presently and previously conceived would not address the long-term destruction of the local water system. Mr. Harper is certainly not known for being an environmentalist, yet even he says the project should not be approved. Our provincial government, however, keeps supporting it. It is time the residents of B.C. wake up to the fact that the Christy Clark government is no different than the Gordon Campbell government. It does not consider protecting our environment as a matter of great importance and is willing to sell it out to whomever will give them money. And speaking of money, it should be noted that since November 17, 2008, Taseko has contributed $109,950 to the B.C. Liberal Party. This figure includes $6,000 paid directly to the provincial Energy Minister Bill Bennett, Member of Legislative Assembly for the riding of Kootenay East. Bill Bennett has been acting more like a paid lobbyist for Taseko rather than a minister and Member of Legislative Assembly responsible to the electorate. Jim Galloway Brisco

SAINT JOHN, N.B. The skip’s voice rasped and there was fatigue in her face. Rachel Homan and her Ottawa Curling Club team were ready to put their feet up for an evening and a morning at the Ford World Women’s Curling Championship after three straight wins, one of them a white-knuckler. “Oh my god, so ready. I can’t wait to not curl for 24 hours,” Homan said Wednesday. “I feel like it’s midnight, so it will be nice to get a break.” The Canadians arrived at a break in the schedule atop the
standings at 8-1. Sweden’s Margaretha Sigfridsson and Switzerland’s Binia Feltscher met in an evening clash of 7-1 teams. The Canadians reverted to their custom of both taking the lead and finishing a game early in a 10-3 win over South Korea’s Ji-sun Kim, who shook hands after eight ends. But Canada went the distance in the morning draw. They stole three points over the final two ends to rescue a 7-5 win over Germany’s Imogen Oona Lehmann. That was the first time Homan threw her final stone at the world championship and just the second time Canada
played a 10th end in Saint John. They’d beaten Scotland the previous evening and were back on the Harbour Station ice in the morning. “It was a long haul, three games in a row on not much sleep and a big grind this morning against Germany,” Homan said. Homan, third Emma Miskew, second Alison Kreviazuk and lead Lisa Weagle headed to dinner with family members feeling confident about their position. Canada concludes the round robin Thursday against China and Sweden. “Two great teams,” Miskew said.

pair of losses. The two teams ended the season series at an even record—Kootenay with four wins and two losses in regulation, while Calgary came out ahead with an overtime and a shootout win. Though the final four games didn’t go in Kootenay’s favour on the scoresheet, head coach Ryan McGill isn’t worrying about the past heading into the post-season. “I’m not concerned one bit about the losses,” said McGill. “We went through some injuries, we’ve gone through some tough times mentally, and we had some scheduling and travelling issues those last two weeks. “I think the guys are rested, the playoffs is a new slate, we’ve had some time off, we’ve
had some good video sessions and we’ve had some practices with some good teaching. “I think rest and recovery has been the most important thing for our group.” Kootenay finished the season in sixth place, sliding down from fifth after the Hitmen won both of their last two games. With the Ice denied points, the Swift Current Broncos beat the Moose Jaw Warriors twice to leapfrog ahead. Despite Calgary’s success in the standings and their appearances in the BMO Top 10 lists throughout the season, McGill says it will be the little things that will determine success for the Ice.

Ice set to open WHL playoffs against Hitmen Continued from page 8 “The biggest thing for us is we have to make sure we don’t give this group anything easy,” McGill said. “If you want to look back to the game on Saturday in their building, sure we were down 4-1 but they didn’t get a shot on goal in the first 14 minutes of the game. “…We know we’ve had success in certain areas against this team this year, we gotta try to emphasize those areas to start games and start periods and every shift in and shift out, that our focus is on that, and not worry about what goes on around that.”
Both teams will be leaning on their top players, with Brady Brassart, Greg Chase and Jake Virtanen providing the main offensive threats for Calgary. Sam Reinhart, Jaedon Descheneau and Luke Philp are the main point producers for the Kootenay Ice front line. “It’s always a battle against Calgary,” said Reinhart. “It’s pretty easy to tell that both teams don’t like each other, so it’s always going to be a battle and I think that’s good. “A seven game series—I think it’s going to bring out the best in both teams.”
“It’s pretty easy to tell that both teams don’t like each other, so it’s always going to be a battle and I think that’s good.” Sam Reinhart It will be an interesting goaltender matchup between Mackenzie Skapski and Chris Driedger. Both have the same number of wins at 28 this season, with some similar individual numbers. Skapski has a save percentage of 0.916, with a goals against aver-
age of 2.70. Driedger has a slight edge with a 0.918 save percentage and a GAA of 2.64. The defensive battle will be one of the keys to the series. Kootenay was down to five defencemen last weekend, and it remains to be seen if Landon Peel or Landon Cross will return from injury to bolster the back end. “Obviously, we’ve played the last couple games without them, so if it it comes down to them not being in the lineup, we know what to expect,” said Ice defenceman Jagger Dirk. “We got to keep our game simple and there are going to be
more minutes out there, so everybody’s gotta dig deep and give more, and when they do get back— whenever that is— they’re obviously going to be a huge help.” The series will even get the big screen treatment, as Shaw TV will broadcast every game between the two teams. Calgary will host Game One on Thursday and Game Two on Saturday. The series will shift back to Cranbrook for Game Three on Monday and Game Four on Tuesday. If necessary, Game Five and Game Seven will be in Calgary, while Game Six is at Western Financial Place.
Man United advances to Champions League quarterfinals Ste ve Dougl as Associated Press
MANCHESTER, England Manchester United still has a chance to win a trophy in David Moyes’ tumult-filled first season as Alex Ferguson’s successor. Robin van Persie scored a hat trick in a 3-0 win over Olympiakos on Wednesday night that advanced United
into the Champions League quarterfinals on 3-2 aggregate. Borussia Dortmund, defeated by German rival Bayern Munich in last year’s final, lost 2-1 at home to Zenit St. Petersburg in the night’s other match but advanced on 5-4 aggregate. Van Persie converted a penalty kick in the 25th minute, side-footed in his second goal
in first-half injury time and curled a free kick past goalkeeper Roberto in the 51st. Van Persie was carried off on a stretcher in the final minutes at Old Trafford after hurting his left leg in a challenge. He seemed to be in pain, holding his face and slamming the ground with his hand. United earned the penalty kick when van Persie received
Ryan Giggs’ cross-field pass and crumbled when hit in the back by Jose Holebas. Giggs sparked the second goal when he floated a pass to Wayne Rooney, who crossed for Van Persie to finish. Roberto appeared to be screened by his defensive wall when van Persie curved in the free kick for fourth Champions League goal this season and 14th overall.

NFL to discuss expanded playoffs, video replay oversight Associated Press
NEW YORK - NFL owners likely will consider expanding the playoffs by two teams, beginning in 2015, when they hold their spring meetings in Orlando next week, but a vote on the subject is uncertain. A groundswell for raising the number of playoff qualifiers to seven in each conference figures to get plenty of support from the 32 owners. Most notably, Arizona’s Bill Bidwill, who saw his Cardinals go 10-6 and not get in, while Green Bay (8-7-1) qualified by winning the NFC North. The current format of four division winners and two wild-card teams has existed since 2002, when Houston joined the league as an expansion team, bringing the membership to 32. “There will be a report on the potential of
expanded playoffs,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Wednesday. “We don’t know if there will be any vote at this meeting.” Also on the agenda will be alterations to extra points, changing who oversees video replay reviews, and further clamping down on the use of racial slurs by players during games. A change in the playoff structure would be needed if 14 teams qualify, with the top seed in each conference still getting a first-round bye. The next six teams would play in what is now the wild-card round, with the second seed facing No. 7, the third seed taking on No. 6 and the fourth and fifth seeds playing each other. But the NFL’s influential competition committee is not presenting a proposal to the owners.

Residents without access to a computer, printed versions of the survey will be available for pick up at reception at City Hall during regular business hours. Those residents requesting a paper copy must provide photo identification with a City of Cranbrook mailing address to be able to get a survey. Deadline to complete and return the survey is 4:30pm on Friday March 28, 2014.

Top prospect looking forward to testing at CFL combine Dan Ralph Canadian Press
For David Foucault, it will be the ultimate job interview. The Montreal Carabins towering offensive tackle will be someone to watch this weekend at the CFL combine in Toronto when many of the top-ranked draft prospects strut their stuff before league coaches and GMs. “It’s very important . . . it’s probably the most important job interview of my life,” the six-footseven, 300-pound Foucault said in a telephone interview. “I’ll need to do well in my drills and perform because all the teams will be there and will have questions for me. “I believe I’m an ath-
letic player, a big man, a strong man with long arms and good feet. I’ll have to show my personality, skill and willingness to work hard.” Foucault and the other prospects will be measured and weighed Saturday as well as perform the bench press, vertical jump and standing jump. The following day they’ll run the 40yard dash as well as participate in one-on-one drills in helmets and shoulder pads. CFL officials are already familiar with the 24-year-old native of LaSalle, Que. A criminology major, Foucault finished the season as the No. 3-ranked prospect for this year’s draft by the league’s Central Scouting Bureau.

Peverley has heart surgery after collapsing on bench Associated Press
The Dallas Stars say Rich Peverley has undergone successful surgery to correct an abnormal heart rhythm, just more than a week after the forward collapsed on the bench during a game. Stars general manager Jim Nill says Peverley was released from the Cleveland Clinic on Wednesday, a day after surgery. Peverley is expected to return Thursday to Dallas. He will be monitored closely and may require further treatment. The 31-year-old Peverley chose for less invasive treatment after an irregular heartbeat was diagnosed during training camp. Nill says there is “no decision being made at this time” on if Peverley will play hockey again. He is out this season. Peverley collapsed during the first period March 11 against Columbus. The game was postponed and will be made up April 9.

Tips to prevent child poisoning Submit ted
With nearly 50 per cent of all poisonings occurring among children younger than the age of six, the BC Drug and Poison Control Centre is reminding parents and caregivers this Poison Prevention Week (Mar. 16-22) to keep dangerous substances out of the reach of children. “Most poisonings occur in and around the home,” said LeeAnne Hancock, a poison information nurse at the centre who has dealt with thousands of incidents in her 23 year career. “Dangerous substances need to be properly stored, out of sight and locked up tight.” Hancock is one of 16 specially trained nurses and pharmacists at the centre who take calls from across the province, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “Education is so important, especially for the caregivers of chil-
dren,” said Debra Kent, the centre’s clinical supervisor. “Children are at particular poisoning risk due to their growing curiosity and rapidly developing physical capabilities as they progress from being a crawler to a toddler and to a climber.” “Grandparents play a huge role too in preventing poisonings,” added Ray Li, a staff pharmacist. Blister packs and dosettes are not child resistant and Li recommends these containers be locked up when the grandchildren are visiting. “Grandparents’ medications are involved in up to 20 per cent of poisonings in young children,” Li said. Facts and Tips on Children and Poisoning: • BC’s Drug and Poison Information Centre receives about 25,000 phone calls each year concerning poisoning and almost half of these involve children. • The top 10 catego-
ries of poisons in young children: household cleaners; pain relieving medication; cosmetics; foreign bodies; vitamins; plants; dietary supplements; skin creams. • Regularly gather ex-
pired and unused medications and take them to a pharmacy for proper disposal. Call the BC Drug and Poison Information Centre 24 hours a day on 604-682-5050 or 1-800-567-8911.

Heads: you get a worse recycling program. Tails: you get to pay more for it.
The BC Government is proposing to offload the province’s world-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association led by big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better, more efficient program that costs taxpayers less. Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess. The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a better program, or even one as good as the current Blue Box program already in place. Since the association is led by big businesses outside of BC, many of whom are not even headquartered in Canada, one could presume that profits will come before environmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’t guarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC. And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?
Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbside recycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time you bring home a pizza, buy toilet paper, or pretty much anything else that comes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs on to you. How much more? Well, nobody’s saying. Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, managed locally and puts the BC environment first. So why is the BC government flipping a coin, bringing in a questionable recycling program that some of our local elected officials are already calling a “scam?” It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.
What’s going on here?

Education Trade school enrollment on the rise
attitudes are starting to change, as indicated by the surging enrollment at trade schools
As overseas production operations return to the United States, enrollment in trade schools continues to rise. Despite high levels of unemployment, domestic manufacturing companies are finding it difficult to fill positions, thanks in part to an attitudinal shift over the years wherein young people did not consider manufacturing a respectable or attractive trade. Such attitudes are starting to change, as indicated by the surging enrollment at trade schools. The Dunwoody College of Technology in Minneapolis, for example, is experiencing its highest enrollment in years, with students young and old looking to take advantage of the growing number of available manufacturing positions. Thanks to high demand, the school has even introduced a six-month certificate program for the first time in its history. Many manufacturers have bemoaned the lack of qualified machinists to fill positions, and those manufacturers are emphasizing that today’s machinists must be computer literate and be skilled
in computer-aided design and engineering. That increased demand for skilled workers has driven up their wages. In fact, a 2012 study from Georgetown University’s Center for Education and the Workforce noted that 63 percent of workers with associate’s degrees in the fields of science, technology, engineering or manufacturing earned more money than the average person with a bachelor’s degree in the humanities or social sciences. As trade schools continue to benefit from the return of manufacturing jobs, recent college graduates continue to find a job market that is less than welcoming. Analysis of government data for the Associated Press found that in early 2012 half of recent college graduates were either unemployed or underemployed (working in positions unrelated to their degree). Such a reality has been advantageous to trade schools, which have become an increasingly attractive option for the masses of unemployed men and women.

How libraries stay vital in a digital age Interested in the newest bestseller? If you have an ereader, you can probably just download it to your device in an instant. Would you like to watch a favorite television show? Many tablets can stream videos, and there are apps available to watch everything from video rentals to last night’s TV episodes. Need to research a topic for a school assignment? Chances are you will log on to the Internet to conduct that research. With all of these technological time-savers available from the comforts of home, how are libraries staying viable? As technology continues to evolve, libraries that were once built on the written word are changing their focus
? Did you know? Six of the 10 college majors with the highest salaries for new graduates have something to do with engineering. So says a survey from the National Association of Colleges and Employers, which notes that computer engineering majors earned the top spot with an average starting salary of $70,400 for graduates who finished school in 2012. Chemical engineering majors came in second with an average starting salary of $66,4000, while computer science majors, with average starting salaries of $64,400, came in third. The NACE salary survey relied on information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the United States Census Bureau and Job Search Intelligence, a compensation management firm. In addition to computer science, the survey, which examined starting salaries for new graduates in more than 90 fields of study, found that finance, construction science/management and information sciences and systems were the only majors outside the field of engineering to crack the top 10.
in order to keep doors open. According to the American Library Association, there are 9,225 public libraries across the United States, though many states have seen library closings. A struggling economy has cost libraries some funding, as some municipalities simply cannot afford to keep libraries open as they used to, while others are taking steps to make libraries more popular in the digital age. Many libraries have increased their offerings beyond traditional books. For instance, libraries have long served as low-cost sources for movies and music, offering sizeable DVD and CD collections. But even now movies and
songs can be rented inexpensively through various subscription services. As such, many libraries have now begun offering other services. They may have free music and e-Book downloads and free wireless Internet connectivity, serve as a location for club meetings, and offer an extensive array of children’s programs. Some libraries have become multimedia centers, housing a media lab where teenagers can create Web content or take a test drive of some of the latest applications available. Despite the digital age, some libraries are still thriving thanks to their ability to adapt to the newest technologies available.

Education
The pros and cons of using the Internet to complete schoolwork now they can do so from the comforts of home. And unlike the library, the Internet never closes, so information is at students’ disposal regardless of when they sit down to do their schoolwork.
The classroom atmosphere familiar to today’s children is likely very different from the atmosphere their parents were accustomed to when they were students. Many of these changes can be traced to technology, which has gradually had an increasing presence in the classroom over the last several decades. But technology has not only changed the classroom experience for kids, but thanks in large part to the Internet, technology also has changed the way kids approach their schoolwork at home. Though a potentially valuable learning tool, the Internet also poses some problems for today’s students. The following are some of the advantages and disadvantages of relying on the Internet to complete schoolwork. The Pros The accessibility of the Internet can be a significant benefit to students. Students have a wealth of resources available to them online, and those resources can make it easier for kids to understand key concepts on nearly every subject. Whereas students might once have been forced to trek to the library to research a given subject,
Another advantage to using the Internet to complete schoolwork is that the Internet can be an extension of the classroom beyond school walls. Educational Web sites abound on the Internet, and many of these sites are written and monitored by professional educators. These sites can be valuable resources for students who may find themselves struggling with certain lessons. Many of their questions or concerns may already be addressed, and certain topics may be more easily explained on a Web site written by a professional educator or scholar in a given field. Rather than waiting to address an issue in class, students can visit such Web sites to answers to their questions immediately. The Internet also can provide students with a forum to discuss their studies which does not always exist in the classroom. That forum may engage students and make them better students. A passionate online discussion about a reading assignment may encourage kids to approach such assignments more fervently. Though such discussions may exist in a traditional classroom atmosphere, many students might be hesitant to express themselves in front of their classmates, feeling the anonymity of the Internet is a more inviting and less stressful forum than a classroom of their peers. The Cons As beneficial as the Internet can be to students, it’s not always what it’s cracked up to be. Much of the concern
about using the Internet to complete schoolwork is the reliability of the information on the Internet. Many sites offer reliable and well-researched information, but many do not. Students, especially younger students, may not be capable of discerning fact from fiction and will simply take the written word on the Internet as truth. That may land students in hot water or make it more difficult for them to understand their subjects. Another significant disadvantage to using the Internet to complete schoolwork is that students may be tempted to cheat. Because the Internet is so vast, students might be tempted to cut and paste answers to homework problems from the Internet or copy information from Web sites and claim it as their own, feeling as if there is no way their teachers will ever find out. Some students may not even understand that such cutting, pasting or copying is wrong. But in addition to being wrong, such behavior, whether students are caught or not, also makes it harder for students to learn the material, which will make it more difficult for them to grasp key concepts going forward. The Internet can also be a significant distraction to students. Social networking sites can quickly distract kids from their schoolwork, costing them valuable time they should be devoting to their studies. For more than a decade, the Internet has proven a valuable resource for students across the globe. But students must recognize there are advantages and disadvantages to relying too heavily on the Internet when pursuing their studies.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Use your intuition with an important situation involving a loved one. You can rely on feelings only to a certain level; a conversation is a must. In the afternoon, you will discover that there is a good flow between you and this person. Tonight: Celebrate the first day of spring. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Handle any important matter in the morning; otherwise, you might not gain the results you want. You could find others unusually difficult later today, which is likely to affect your opinion of them. Tonight: Defer to a friend or loved one for now. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will want to handle an important matter on your own. The financial benefits of a situation outweigh the negatives. Avoid being extravagant -- for your sake, if nothing else. You will join in and have a good time, no matter where you are. Tonight: Where your friends are.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Dig into your bag of creative ideas in the morning. You might be surprised by what evolves as a result. Think twice before you deal with a problem. Honor what is happening with a child first, as he or she needs some special time with you. Tonight: Get into weekend mode. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll react instinctively to a perception or to a change in tone, and will wonder when you can say “enough is enough.” Your ability to take in the big picture could help you gain a new insight. Deal with someone directly about a financial matter. Tonight: Stay close to home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be willing to express your deeper feelings about a personal matter, as you seem to be more than serious about a long-term investment. Your creativity is likely to surge, which will allow you to visualize being in someone else’s shoes. Tonight: Celebrate spring! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Pressure builds involving a work
Tundra
matter and your finances. Additional demands from a family member could add to your discomfort. Know that this person is not on your team right now. Tonight: Enjoy the moment, and avoid getting into a disagreement. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your resourcefulness draws strong results in the morning. A family member, though well-meaning, could add to the pressure of the moment. Reach out to a friend or neighbor who has been very uppity for a while. Tonight: Relax. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be more easily confused than you realize. Ask questions to clarify, but phrase them carefully in order to get an appropriate response. You will see changes in how you handle your funds because of what you are hearing. Tonight: Remain upbeat. Greet spring with a smile. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Use the morning to the max, when others are more responsive to your inquiries. Look at a
personal matter through someone else’s eyes. Once you see this person’s perceptions, your instinctive response could be right-on. Tonight: Happily head home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Pace yourself, as you have a lot to get done. You have a smile that helps draw others closer to you. Remain sensitive to the possibilities. Allow more lightness and spontaneity into your day. Read between the lines with a close loved one. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be in a situation that touches many other people. Understand what is happening by reaching out and getting more information. Your questions might help someone else gain some insight. Delay a discussion until the afternoon. Tonight: Treat a loved one well.

Baby Blues
Rhymes with Orange
By Kirkman and Scott
By Hillary B. Price
ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I are expecting our second child. When our first was born, my in-laws (who live out of town) visited shortly after the birth, and it was awful. They tried to separate me from our baby to have alone time with him. And instead of helping out, they created additional work, even though I was still recovering from the birth. I don’t want to shut them out, but would like the first visit to take place at least a month after the baby is born. My husband is understanding, but likes to please his family. How can I tactfully schedule a visit to preserve both my sanity and my relationship with my husband’s family? -- Not Looking Forward Dear Not: Your husband must agree to support you in this request. It would be best if he could convince his parents to wait before visiting. And of course, this is not their first grandchild, so they may be perfectly agreeable. If not, we recommend you enlist the help of your pediatrician to suggest that it’s better for the child to wait until he has had his first set of immunizations (usually at two months). When they press to come sooner, you can give in slowly and eventually settle on four weeks. We trust you will give the same information to your parents. Dear Annie: My husband and I own a home on a cul-de-sac. Most of the other original owners have moved on, and several of the homes are now rentals and inhabited by multiple families. This means many, many cars. Two homes alone account for 13 automobiles. Every home has a spacious garage and driveway, but these neighbors use that space for junk. As a result, we always have multiple cars parked in front of our house, sometimes for days at a time, including giant SUVs parked between two driveways, hanging over on each side. And because it’s a cul-de-sac, sometimes the cars are double-parked. I’ve called the police multiple times, but they don’t always show up, or by the time they arrive, the offending vehicle has been moved. A ticket or two might teach these people, but they just keep getting away with it. I’m so tired of looking out my living room window or sitting on my patio looking at other people’s cars. I feel as if I live in a parking lot. It’s not fair that I should need to move out of my retirement home in order to have a decent view. I know you cannot solve this for me. I’m just venting. -- Sick of Your Clunkers Dear Sick: We get it. Do you have a neighborhood or homeowners association of any kind that could mediate this? Do you think talking to your neighbors would help? People often don’t consider the possibility that their neighbors would be cooperative if they were approached in a spirit of friendship. But also ask the police whether there is anything else you can do. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Glad the Holidays are Over,” whose mother-in-law hogs the conversations and constantly talks about herself. That was me! For years, I was loud and abrasive, hogged conversations, interrupted and didn’t listen, thinking instead of what I was going to say next. I thought I was the life of the party and had to keep conversations going. I learned my lesson when I met another person like me. I heard people say how he wouldn’t let anyone get a word in edgewise and that he must not care about others. What an eye opener! Since then, I’ve learned to ask others questions and actually wait for the answers. It’s a relief not to be responsible for all of the conversation, and it allows me to get to know people better. Please cut this out and send it to those who feel they must keep talking to avoid odd silences. -- Minot, N.D.

• Provide a foundation of ongoing support services to men to decrease violence in the community.
Rosemary ‘Irene’ Saffin (Plain) May 4, 1923 to March 12, 2014
• Provide clients with effective problem solving and coping skills when dealing with stressful life situations.
After almost 91 years of loving and laughter everyday Irene died peacefully in her apartment at Joseph Creek Village where she had lived happily for the last seven years. Irene was born in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan and moved to Langley, BC where she completed her schooling. She took her nurses training at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, BC and then moved to Westlock, Alberta to begin her nursing career and met her soon to be husband Frederick William Saffin. The young couple were married in 1948 and settled in northern Alberta to start a family. The family moved back to BC in 1955 and settled in the Lower Mainland until moving to Cranbrook in 2001. Irene is predeceased by loving her husband Fred (December 2004) and 1 daughter Tracy (1967). She leaves behind five sons Bill (Grace) in Nanaimo, Ed (Deb) in Cranbrook, Norman (Linda) in Ladysmith, Brian in Mission and Bruce (Gail) in Pleasanton, Ca, one daughter Judy (Henk) in Ucluelet, 10 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.
• Provide consultation and work collaboratively, where appropriate, with other local agencies that provide services to men.
Irene’s greatest joy was spending time with her family as well as cooking and knitting or crocheting for them. She leaves behind many friends at Knox Presbyterian Church and in Joseph Creek Village. There will be a celebration of Irene’s life by the family at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper 1. Advertise to Reach New Customers. Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.
2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting. You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.
3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.

A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.
4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image. When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.
5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient. Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.
6. Advertise to Generate Traffic. Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.
7. Advertise to Make More Sales. Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.
8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate. Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.
9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image. In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.
10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale. When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Superheroes hit the slopes at Panorama Submit ted
Panorama is unveiling an array of entertainment, activities and events during its first ever Superhero Sunfest weekend from April 4-6. To celebrate spring skiing at Panorama, the weekend is superhero themed and features the return of the Peak to Valley charity race. Guests are invited to dress up as their favourite superhero character as they enjoy the slopes and revelry in costume. The weekend is called the ‘Sunfest’ for a reason as skiers have the chance to layer down and enjoy moderate temperatures on the mountain along with great entertainment. “This will likely be the first time of the year you can comfortably have a drink on a lounge chair at the Summit Hut in your t-shirt,” said Marke Dickson, director of sales and marketing at Panorama. “People tend to vacation at a much more leisurely pace. They wait to take to the slopes until after the sun has worked its magic and softened the snow into spring corn. It becomes less about

Daring feats will be part of the celebrations at Panorama’s Superhero Sunfest. trying to get in run after run of skiing and more about enjoying the warmth of the spring sun.” On Saturday morning, Panorama is hosting the Peak to Valley Challenge in support of the Branch Out
Neurological Foundation. Branch Out Neurological Foundation exists to cure the 600-plus diseases of the nervous system that affect nearly 20 per cent of the world’s population. The charity is familiar
with Panorama as it is hosting the 4th Annual Branch Out Bike Tour this summer that is already sold out with 300 participants. The Peak to Valley Challenge involves descending the full height of the moun-
tain from the summit to the base and carving around 180 giant slalom style race gates. Participants try not to stop and push through the leg burning sensation as the try to make it down all of Panorama’s 4,000 vertical feet. The challenge is less about high speed and more about stamina. Participants of all ages can enter as teams or individuals and will be competing for prizes. Registration for the challenge includes a banquet dinner and is $100 per person and teams are made up of four people. To sign up and receive more information on the Branch Out Foundation see: http://branchoutfoundation.com/peak-to-valleychallenge. Also happening during the Superhero Sunfest is the Easy Rider Snowboard Cup program presented by Burton Snowboards. Only for snowboarders, riders of all abilities are encouraged to enter. The 27th Annual Easy Rider Cup weekend is built around having fun and
snowboarder camaraderie. The main event is a banked slalom that takes riders through a laid-back terrain course filled with berms, rollers and small jumps which will take place on Saturday and Sunday. The $25 registration fee includes participation in all of the scheduled events. “It’s not every day you get the chance to snap a selfie as Super Man or whoever you chose to be, on a ski run,” said Jamie Hurschler, marketing and media specialist at Panorama. “Adults and children alike can embrace the fun nature of this weekend.” Events will be held at the base of the mountain with entertainment throughout the days and evenings, including a superhero party at the T-Bar. Saturday night’s concert in the Great Hall will co-headline Calgary raised singer and songwriter, WiL and Wide Mouth Mason’s lead singer, Shaun Verreault.
