Unemployment rate on the rise Kootenays has among the most job-hunters in B.C.
SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
Unemployment in the Kootenays has risen to 7.9 per cent, just six months after it dipped to a B.C. low of 3 per cent. According to the BC Stats Labour Force Statistics report for the month of April, released
on May 9, the Kootenay region has unemployment significantly higher than the provincial average of 5.8 per cent. The Kootenays are among the regions with the highest unemployment rate. The rate is highest in the Northeast region (8.6 per cent), fol-
lowed by Abbotsford-Mission metropolitan area (8.1 per cent). Job hunting is easiest in Victoria, where the unemployment rate is 4.9 per cent, and in Kelowna, where it is 5.1 per cent.

Cranbrook council takes Canada Post to task Resolution calls on Minister of Transport to order public consultation into home delivery ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff
Canada Post’s plan to discontinue home delivery in communities is being met with disapproval from many of those communities, as well as Canada Post’s letter carriers. At Monday’s council meeting, Coun. Gerry Warner put forward a resolution to send a letter to the Honourable Lisa Raitt, federal Minister of Transport, expressing the city’s objection to Canada Post cancelling doorto-door mail delivery.
Warner’s resolution also recommends that Raitt order Canada Post to conduct public consultation hearings to consider other options before doorto-door delivery is abolished. Warner argued that door-to-door delivery still takes place six days a week in countries similar to Canada, like Britain and the U.S., and the delivery method has been a traditional feature of Canadian life and culture for almost 150 years.

Here comes Gerry Frederick’s friend the bee — and indeed the friend of us all. As we get set to plant our gardens and our crops, have care and concern for these six-footed creatures so essential to our agriculture. And happy planting everybody.
VICTORIA – The B.C. government has heard the protests and is re-thinking its plan to impose new fees on placer mining operations, Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett says. In an interview to mark Mining Week in B.C., Bennett said he has heard the criticism
from the mining industry about introducing permit fees under the Mines Act that could apply to all mining activities, including placer mines that search for gold and metal ores in the loose rock around rivers. “I’m determined to make sure that we’re not discouraging the junior level exploration with fees,” Bennett said.
“That’s certainly my goal, that they wouldn’t be charged any fees, but we’re going to have to see where this settles out.” Placer mining has come a long way from its roots in the waves of gold fever that swept over the Fraser Canyon, the Cariboo and the Klondike in Yukon.

Being what you humans call a good dog can be a struggle. Though the advantages of domestication are undeniable, the inner turmoil between our learned behaviours and our primitive canine reflexes are a constant battle. It is that most classic of conflicts: dog versus himself. Now I know that hominids also deal with primitive urges that must be repressed in order to remain within the constrictive borders of decorum. For example, the fight or flight reflex was, once upon a time, a valuable tool for survival. A man faced with a threat undergoes an instant hormonal transformation so that he might a) defeat his foe with physical violence, or b) take evasive measures by fleeing at speed. Modern man has retained the reflex but now when faced with a threat— like say a closed door meeting with the boss to discuss his job performance, or lack there of— it is of little use. Beating on your supervisor or running screaming from the room are no longer viable ways of dealing with the situation. Thus the hormones released during the fight or flight reflex are not burned up by physical exertions but instead, begin to eat away at the human, consuming him from the inside out. Modern man has a name for these pools of corrosive adrenaline — stress. I too am tormented by repression and the caustic residue it spawns — I call it squirrel. Now good dogs don’t chase squirrels. They remain trotting right at their master’s heel and ignore the fluffy tailed little rodents, never allowing the predatory instincts of their inner wolf to come to the surface. Well, gentle reader, let me tell you something, a leashed wolf is not a happy wolf. And try as I might, sometimes the wolf breaks loose. Sometimes, the squirrel is surprised. Oh I know you human-types are predisposed to shower affection on creatures that are big eyed and fuzzy. You think squirrels are cute, what with their plume-like tails and their tiny human-like hands but let me tell you, rats have tiny human-like hands too. Oh, but squirrels are sweet little tree-dwelling vegetarians that chatter sweetly at us from the treetops, you say? Well, I say they don’t chatter — they scold, and they love nothing better than getting their tiny human-like hands on snacks like birds eggs, baby birds, and any carrion they find rotting on the ground. A rat by any other name would still chatter as sweet. My distain for squirrels doesn’t end there either. The thing about them that really drives me, well, squirrely, is their annoying ability to straddle the border of the wild and the domesticated. They suffer none of the restrictions placed on us pets; they breed at will, poop where they want, and never come when they are called, yet they still find their sustenance thanks to the kindness of man. What with the advent and popularity of the bird feeder, it is a never-ending smorg of sunflower seeds and millet for these decidedly unbird-like parasites. Well, truth be told, not all of them are unbird-like. There are several flying squirrels that come to the feeder at night. Their gift of flight just another reason for a dog to feel under privileged and resentful. There is an old adage however, that says every dog will have his day. Well mine was about a week ago. I was laying out in the sun trying to be a good dog and ignore the squirrel that was scampering about the feeder, when I noticed the little blighter had lifted the top of one of the containers and climbed right inside. Like a miser rolling in his riches, he burrowed into the seeds and then tossed them into the air in a decadent show of wealth. It was more than I could take. The wolf broke lose. Storming the feeder I jumped up and hit it with all my weight. This in turn caused the lid of the feeder in which the squirrel had been cavorting, to drop back in place, trapping the vermin inside. It was there that my human found him several hours later, still drumming his little human-like hands on the glass of the feeder, demanding to be set free. And after he was, did he lick the man or even wag his tail in thanks? Nope, straight up the nearest tree to scold a yellow dog for his ingenuity.

New hunting rules out now Postal workers
The 2014-2016 Hunting and Trapping Regulations come into effect July 1 Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
East Kootenay hunters now have access to the latest set of regulations for B.C. The 2014-2016 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis was released online on Saturday, May 10 and will soon be available at Service BC centres and local hunting licence vendors. The new regulations come into effect on July 1, 2014 and are current until June 30, 2016. The previous set of regulations expires on June 30, 2014. About 250,000 copies of the synopsis will be printed and distributed throughout B.C. The cover photo of the regulations was contributed by a B.C. photographer and shows an outdoorsman looking
over a mountain vista in the province’s northeast. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is working on the 2015 to 2017 Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis and is asking for photo submissions to grace its cover. Anyone can submit as many photos as they wish to be considered for the cover, as long as the photo is relevant to B.C. freshwater angling. Email photos to synopsiscoverphoto@gov. bc.ca before October 1, 2014. For more information, visit www.env.gov. bc.ca/fw/photo.html. The new edition of the Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis is available at www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/ wildlife/hunting/regulations/.

Job rate snapshot shows Kootenay region in a slump Continued from page 1 There are presently 67,700 people who are employed in the Kootenays, down from 79,600 in September 2013. That’s when the unemployment rate for the region was the lowest at 3 per cent. It has been steadily climbing since last fall, up to 4.8 per cent in November, 6.7 per cent in January, before hitting 7.8 per cent in March. In B.C. as a whole, there were 3,700 less people working in April than the previous month. But the unemployment rate stayed the same because 1,900 fewer people were participating in the job force. Jobs were lost in many sectors : goods-producing (14,000), accommodation and food services (11,800), professional, scientific and technical services (10,800), construction (7,400), finance, insurance, real estate and leasing (6,200), manufacturing (3,900), natural resources including forestry

But there were more jobs in the business, building and support services sector (13,200), trade sector (19,700), services-producing sector (10,300), and health care and social assistance sector (9,600).
say they are set for job action
The unemployment rate in B.C. was the third lowest in Canada in April, after Saskatchewan at 3.4 per cent and Alberta at 4.7 per cent. Weekly wages in B.C. are around the middle of the pack. In April, the average weekly wage rate was $885, the fifth
highest in Canada after our neighbours in Alberta ($1,066), followed by Newfoundland ($940), Saskatchewan ($931) and Ontario ($907). Workers in Prince Edward Island earned the least in April at $746 average weekly wage.
“Momentum seems to be building and there’s a lot of anger in the country,” Warner said. “A lot of municipalities are objecting and sending letters.” Mayor Wayne Stetski said he supported the motion, partly out of concern for seniors and others who will have difficulties getting to the new mailboxes. Coun. Diana J. Scott was the only member of council vote against the resolution. Scott felt it was too similar to what council had sent to Canada Post in an earlier letter. “We already sent a letter with these concerns and we’ve already received a response,” Scott said. Mayor Stetski noted that the letter council sent asked the Canada Post for further information and to come to council, but did not specifically object to the move to phase out doorto-door delivery. He noted the letter also asked Canada Post to look at other innovations like postal banking, which it seemed have not been pursued by the Crown corporation. “Perhaps with public consultations hearings they’ll hear lots of good ideas that will make them even more vibrant into the future,” Stetski said. Coun. Bob Whetham also supported the motion saying that if council waits until it’s the their turn, then Canada Post will face any concerns by simply pointing to other communities where door-to-door delivery has already been phased out by that time. “It’s something that needs to be done across the country before Canada Post takes action,” Whetham said. Coun. Angus Davis supported the motion and spoke about the communities along the Whitehead Hwy in northern B.C. “The post office was the heart of the community,” Davis said. “People from all over the territories would come to the post office on Saturday mornings. In their wisdom (Canada Post) ripped those little post offices out. If you go to those same little
POLL WEEK of the
communities the heart of the town is gone.” Karen Panchuk, president of the Cranbrook local Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), said the union workers are worried about the coming changes as well, and will be having a job action on Wednesday, May 14. Two members of CUPW will be walking around Cranbrook. “They will be petitioning,” she said. “We have lawn signs that say, basically, ‘Save door-to-door delivery,’ something to stick on your lawn just to say you want to keep door-todoor delivery.” For people who don’t want a lawn sign, the CUPW also has window signs. “It’s just letting people know that you do have a choice because it is your public service,” she said. “It’s showing how you can be proactive instead of reactive.” Panchuk worries that people with mobility issues will not be able to easily get their mail anymore. Panchuk said she hoped the city would ask Canada Post to provide more transparency. “A lot of the other municipalities – Vancouver, Toronto – have signed resolutions saying that they wish that Canada Post has a transparency report,” she said. “They want to have everything above the board before the cuts. It’s easy to put all the words out there, but how much have they actually put into a study before the cuts?” She said, for instance, in 16 out of the 17 years since Canada Post has been a Crown corporation it has shown a profit. “The one year that they showed a loss was when we were locked out – for one thing,” she explained. “And two, they had a pay equity that they had to back pay, so that was a big loss for Canada Post.” She said while mail volumes are down, parcel volumes are way up, the more profitable side of the business. The job action will begin Wednesday morning on Cranbrook Street North and then move into the residential areas.

Fishing clinic at Idlewild Lake on Father’s Day Barry Coulter Townsman Staff
The Cranbrook Firefighters Association is making plans for its annual fishing clinic at Idlewild Lake. This year’s edition — the 37th — will be held Father’s Day, Sunday, June 15. “For more than 30 years the Cranbrook Firefighters Association has been holding a Fishing Clinic at Idlewild Lake to encourage family unity and outdoor recreation in our com-
munity,” said Association representative Jeremy Bertrand. The Cranbrook Fire Fighters Association is comprised of career fire department members, retired members, and volunteers firefighters. “These extremely dedicated members have worked hard over the years to organize this valuable community event so that our youth are provided the opportunity to enjoy the recreational opportunities that the East Kootenay
Region has to offer,” Bertrand said. The Father’s Day fishing event, which takes place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., is for youth 15 years old or younger. Families are encouraged to come along. No cost or pre-registration is required, and hot dogs and refreshments will be served. The lake will be stocked with fish by the Kootenay Trout Hatchery. Provincial fishing regulations apply, and
all fish must be caught in the lake. Prizes include a chartered fishing trip for the biggest fish caught,
and a new bicycle is yours if you catch a tagged fish (Tagged fish must be caught by March 31st of the fol-
lowing year in order to claim prize). So mark Sunday, June 15, 2014 on your calendars, and make

Larger placer mines can expect to pay for licensing and regulatory costs of their industry, as forest and other industries do on Crown land, Bennett said. When the fees were proposed in February, the industry response was swift and negative from the industry. NDP mines critic Scott Fraser said he was getting letters as soon as the legislation was presented, and small operators were the most worried. “They’ll get hit by this, and according to them, they’ll be pushed right off their claims,” Fraser said. The larger picture of B.C. mining remains bright, Bennett said. Red Chris copper and gold mine is set to open this summer with the completion of a new electrical transmission line to northwestern B.C. Copper Mountain near Princeton and Mount Milligan north of Prince George are up and producing metal ore, adding to mine activity that has tripled in terms of value to the economy since 2001. Slumping prices for metallurgical coal have reversed some of the recent growth in coal production, with closures announced at two coal mines in the Tumbler Ridge region. Teck Resources has also delayed its plan to reopen Quintette Coal, which it opened as one of the first Tumbler Ridge mines in 1982 and closed in 2000 due to low coal prices. Bennett said the metallurgical coal market is subject to cycles that are closely tied to Asian demand for steel, and the long-term trend continues to be strong. B.C. and Australia are the world’s leading sources of highgrade metallurgical coal.

Welcome to the Anthropocene What’s Up?
There is no doubt that human beings are the dominant species on Earth. The seven billion of us account for about one-third of the total body mass of large animals on the planet, with our domestic animals accounting for most of the rest. (Wild animals only amount to 3 to 5 percent.) But are we really central to the scheme of things? That is a different question. Almost all the scientific discoveries of the past few centuries have moved human beings away from the centre of things towards the periphery. In the 16th century we learned that Earth went around the Sun, not the other way round. Then we realised that the Sun was just one more yellow star among a hundred billion others “far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy,” as Douglas Adams put it. And this is just one galaxy among hundreds of billions. Then the geologists learned that our planet is four and a half billion years old, whereas we primates have only been around for the past seven million years, and modern human being for a mere 100,000 years. And so on and so forth, until we felt very small and insignificant. But now the story is heading back in the other direction; they’re going to name an entire geological epoch after us. The Anthropocene. Don’t get too excited: an epoch is not that big a deal in geology. Just as there is an ascending hierarchy of days, weeks, months and years in present time, there is a hierarchy of epochs, periods, eras and aeons in geological time. Until recently, everybody agreed that we live in the Holocene epoch of the Quaternary period, which in turn is
part of the 65-million-year old Cenozoic era, the most recent phase of the 540-million-year Phanerozoic aeon. Holocene means “entirely recent”, and is reckoned to have begun at the end of the last major glaciation less than 12,000 years ago. That’s not a very long time even for a mere epoch – but geologists are now considering the possibility that we have already entered a different epoch, the Anthropocene (from the Gwynne Greek roots for “man” and “recent”). That is, an epoch Dyer defined by the impact of human beings on the entire planetary environment. Geologists want to see evidence in the rocks before they define an epoch, and it’s early days for that yet, but it’s clear that the fossil records for the present time will show a massive loss of forests, a very high rate of extinctions, and a preponderance of fossils of only a few species: us and our domesticated animals. The acidification of the oceans is destroying the coral reefs, which will produce a “reef gap” similar to the ones that marked the five great extinctions of the past. The changes in the atmosphere caused by the burning of massive amounts of fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – will show up in the form of rising sea levels due to warming, and in the decline of carbonate rocks like limestone and chalk in the deep-ocean sediments. If this is really a new epoch, then geologists (human or otherwise) millions of years from now should be able to work out what happened just from the rocks, without any direct knowledge of the past. However, if the current global civilisation collapses as a result of these changes, they will have only a
very thin band of rock to work with. The idea of declaring the Anthropocene as a new epoch is being taken seriously by geologists: the International Union of Geological Sciences has set up a working group of the International Commission on Stratigraphy to report by 2016 on whether the Holocene must give way to the Anthropocene. The real purpose of declaring the Anthropocene period is to focus human attention on the scale of our impacts on the planetary environment. As biologist E.O. Wilson wrote: “The pattern of human population growth in the twentieth century was more bacterial than primate.” He calculated that human biomass is already a hundred times larger than that of any other large animal species present or past except for our own domesticated animals. That phase of runaway population growth is over now, but the global rise in living standards is having further environmental impacts of the same order. Climate change is the headline threat, but the loss of biodiversity, ozone depletion, ocean acidification and half a dozen other negative trends are also driven by our numbers and our lifestyle. Being responsible for keeping so many interlocking systems within their permissible limits may be more than our civilisation can manage, but it’s already too late to reject that job. All we can do now is try to stay within the planetary boundaries (which in some cases requires discovering exactly where they are), and restore as many natural systems as we can. The odds are not in our favour. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Farmland holy war falls flat T he NDP’s holy war against changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve got nastier last week, as it became clear it was defenders of the status quo who were being mowed down. Ever since legislation was tabled to divide the ALR into two zones, with greater emphasis on social and economic needs to help viability of farms in the Kootenay, Interior and North regions, almost all the protest has been from unaffected areas. And much of it depends on emotion rather than fact. In the legislature, Nanaimo MLA Leonard Krog rose to praise the late Dave Stupich, who birthed the ALR sacred cow as agriculture minister in 1973. Krog likened Stupich to the Biblical Daniel for his bravery in preserving farmland for our children’s children. Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley did his signature “jiggery pokery” routine, this time accusing cabinet minister Bill Bennett of being “giddy” at the prospect of paying off his friends with development land. Before he gets too jiggery outside the protection of the legislative chamber, he would be well advised to find some evidence. Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson, who at least represents an area being given broader latitude for secondary uses on farmland, warned of drought in Califor-
nia. The history of this is currently a hot topic in the quasi-religious climate change debate. Meanwhile in the real British Columbia, life and farming go on under the existing farmland protection regime. The largest ALR exclusion in B.C. history took a big step forward last week, as a federal-provincial reBC VIEWS view panel issued its report on the Site C dam proposed Tom for the Peace River. Fletcher The panel noted that the dam would flood 2,775 hectares of farmland, representing all seven categories of soil quality. Opponents use a figure about twice that size, as if all the affected land was farmable. The panel accepted that this land, including the small amount of micro-climate bottom land, represents 0.2% of the Peace region’s farm receipts. I would add that’s because what is farmed at all is mostly growing hay, which requires minimum capital and labour. “It has potential, to be sure, but its unique and irreplaceable contribution would be for those labour-intensive crops like vegetables, which are not remotely practical in a labour-short region,” the report states. We have to bring in Mexican guest workers to get vegetable and fruit crops off in the Fraser Valley and Okanagan. For a

five-month growing season in the bush outside Fort St. John? This is a classic example of the religious fervor that replaces reason among the southern faithful of the ALR. And how is the status quo working? Summerland council just voted to swap 80 hectares of flat farmland for 90 hectares further away in the Summerland Hills. The town is on restricted lakeshore terrain and the council wants to increase its urban zone, using the community need provisions that are enhanced by the current legislative amendments. This was after a loud demonstration organized with the help of a fake grassroots protest machine called LeadNow, complete with slick signs and website. (LeadNow also helped round up anti-pipeline protesters this past weekend.) The media were fooled as usual, but not Summerland council. LeadNow has moved on to lining up people to flood the Agricultural Land Commission with form letters and petitions against Summerland’s plan. The B.C. Agriculture Council, whose board first supported and then objected to the ALR amendments, has clarified its objections. It wants flexibility for secondary uses extended to the prime farmland zones of the Okanagan, Fraser Valley and southern Vancouver Island. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

EAST KOOTENAY TRACK AND FIELD CLUB
Club earns solid results from track meets TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Wolf Pack is back. The East Kootenay Track and Field Club is back in action now that spring has sprung, competing in at two recent meets in Trail and Calgary. Roughly 17 athletes from Cranbrook and Kimberley took to the field in Trail, with five qualifying for events at the B.C. Summer Games. Not only did members of the club qualify for the Summer Games, but a few also broke some meet records. “Jacob Sebben beat the old record by about seven metres in the javelin, and I beat the discus record,” said club head coach James O’Kane. “...We had five athletes qualify for the summer games, which was good for our Kootenay region, so it was a successful meet all around.” Samara Schiefner, Sarah Andreas, Emma Murtagh, Jacob Sebben and Justin Marsh all made the cut for the provincial summer games. Murtagh actually qualified for five events, with only a limit of participating in three, meaning she will be able to pick and choose based on her strengths. “She had a really good meet,” said O’Kane. “You can only do three events at the Summer Games and she qualified for five, so she’s got her pick, and we’ll figure out what’s best for her to compete in and the best chance at medalling.” After the Trail meet, the club headed to Calgary this past weekend, as a smaller group of five athletes collected impressive results yet again. -India Sherret had solid performances in five events, competing in the long and triple jumps, 100 and 200-metre dashes and the shot put.

CANADIENS 4 BRUINS 0 MONTREAL - Max Pacioretty had a goal and an assist in the second period and Carey Price made 26 saves and the Montreal Canadiens blanked the Boston Bruins 4-0 on Monday night to force Game 7 in their Eastern Conference semifinal series. The series is tied 3-3 going into Game 7 on Wednesday night in Boston. Pacioretty, who had only one assist in the first five games, scored and set up Thomas Vanek’s goal in the second period. Lars Eller scored in the first for Montreal and Vanek added his second of the game into an empty net with 3:56 left. Rookie Nathan Beaulieu, the Canadiens’ 2011 first-round draft pick who was given a surprise start by coach Michel Therrien, picked up an assist in his first NHL playoff game and was plus-2. The Canadiens repeated the scenario of their 2011 first-round series against the Bruins, winning at home to force a Game 7. That year, they

coming just shy of a personal best in the latter event. -O’kane also got into the action, throwing for a bronze in the discus. “Really proud of the kids there,” said O’Kane. “Coming into that meet there, it really raises the level of competition—you’re getting all the best from Alberta coming down to that meet, so it was an eye-opener as to what kind of talent is out there.”
Oil Kings defeat Winterhawks to win WHL title SCOT T SEPICH Canadian Press
PORTLAND, Ore. - It took one more day than they would’ve liked, but the Edmonton Oil Kings are Western Hockey League champions for the second time in three seasons. Four different Oil Kings scored in a decisive second period as Edmonton won Game 7 of the WHL final 4-2 over the Portland Winterhawks. In Sunday’s Game 6 in Edmonton, the Oil Kings watched a three-goal lead evaporate in the third period before losing 6-5 in overtime. Edmonton again built a three-goal lead through two periods on Monday, and didn’t let this one get away. Mitch Moroz, Curtis Lazar, Reid Petryk and Mads Eller all scored in a four-goal second period for the Oil Kings and
Goaltender Tristan Jarry stopped 32 shots in victory. Oliver Bjorkstrand and Brendan Leipsic scored for Portland, which got 29 saves from goalie Brendan Burke. As the Oil Kings celebrated on the ice after the game at Veterans Memorial Coliseum, they held the No. 26 jersey of Kristians Pelss, a former teammate who drowned last summer at age 20. “He’s been with us through this whole thing,” said Lazar. “He motivates us to make ourselves better. We know he’s looking over us, we played for him and it showed.” Bjorkstrand scored his league-leading 16th goal of the playoffs- but his first of the final series- at 4:42 of the first to give the Winterhawks a 1-0 lead. “They came at us hard for 10 minutes but we weathered
the storm,” said Edmonton coach Derek Laxdal, who won a Memorial Cup championship as a player with the Winterhawks in the same building in 1983. “I told the guys I won a championship here and I wanted them to do it, too.” The Oil Kings busted out in the second period, scoring three times in less than six minutes to take command. Moroz scored at the 3:50 mark of the period to tie the game, then Lazar and Petryk scored 40 seconds apart near the midway point of the period to make it 3-1. “We actually got kick-started with us taking a penalty,” said Lazar. “We wanted to kill it off, and it actually led to some offence and we just kept rolling.” Eller’s goal with 2:43 left in the period gave the Oil Kings their second consecutive

three-goal lead through two periods. Leipsic scored with 3:22 left in regulation, but the Winterhawks couldn’t pull off a second unlikely comeback in two days. “We talked that the sun was going to come up today and our energy would come up, too,” said Laxdal. “We tried to motivate our guys all day. Our guys were gutsy.” The Oil Kings are off to the Memorial Cup, which begins Friday in London, Ont. This was the third straight year Edmonton and Portland have met in the WHL final series. The Oil Kings prevailed in seven games in 2012, while the Winterhawks won in six games last season. Portland appeared in the WHL finals for the fourth straight season, but dropped to 1-3 in those series.

DUCKS 4 KINGS 3 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Devante Smith-Pelly scored two goals 1:23 apart in the second period, and Anaheim moved to the brink of the Western Conference finals with a victory over Los Angeles in Game 5. John Gibson made 39 saves in his second career playoff start as the Ducks took a 3-2 lead in the second-round series with their third straight victory. Nick Bonino and Jakob Silfverberg also scored for the Ducks, who jumped to a threegoal lead in the second period and hung on behind their 20-year-old rookie goalie, earning the first home victory by either team in the series. Marian Gaborik scored two goals for the Kings, who will face their fifth elimination game of the post-season.
Team Canada makes most of major penalty, holds on to beat Czech Republic STEPHEN WHYNO Canadian Press
MINSK, Belarus Canadian captain Kevin Bieksa had a fat lip but it was worth it. Canada scored twice on a five-minute major penalty to Jan Kovar for slashing Bieksa, which was enough to build a lead that stood up for a 4-3 victory over the Czech Republic at the world hockey championship on Monday. Joel Ward, Kyle Turris, Nathan MacKinnon and Morgan Rielly scored for the Canadians, who won their second straight game to improve to 2-0-1 at the tournament. They
moved to the top of Group A with seven points. It looked like the three points would come easily, even after Canada gave up the first goal of the game to Roman Cervenka. But Czech goals by Jiri Novotny and Tomas Hertl midway through the third period made things a little too close for comfort at Chizhovka-Arena. Denmark is up next for Canada, but not until Thursday. With Italy on tap Friday, Reimer and Ben Scrivens figure to again split the starts, though Justin Peters could get a shot at some point, as well.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your intentions are nothing less than inspiring. Others might not be on the same page, which is why you will find it difficult to relate to certain people. They seem to be on a different mental plane, with different concerns. Be spontaneous. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Push comes to shove with a Full Moon adding to the “loony” qualities of those around you. Unpredictability could arise and allow your intuition to flow freely. Reach out to someone at a distance whom you care about. Tonight: Work with a sudden insight. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Focus on what is going on in your daily life. You might need to pick up what others do not complete. An older individual will inspire you to create past your present limitations. Remember, not everyone can follow your thinking. Tonight: A dear friend or loved
one wants to share. CANCER (June 21-July 22) A partner seems to be changing the ground rules. Listen to your instincts when dealing with a child or new friend. An idea might not be easy for someone to digest. Find different words to express yourself. A boss or older relative likes what you are doing. Tonight: Add some fun. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be dragged down by an ongoing domestic issue. Practice acceptance, and try a different approach. Reach out to someone at a distance who always presents unusual ideas and solutions. A brainstorming session will give you a new perspective. Tonight: Mosey on home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Events and conversations will point to more understanding. If you become triggered, you might need to detach. Understand someone’s limits. This person means well, but he or she cannot identify with what you are sharing. Tonight: Let your imagination wander.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Deal with others directly, especially regarding a financial matter. A risk could bring dramatic results. Be sure that you can handle a negative outcome, though it might not be likely. Someone you look up to could overwhelm you with ideas. Tonight: Opt for togetherness. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are the star with today’s Full Moon. Your personality and intelligence dominate the day more than you might realize. An associate will demonstrate unusual caring. A discussion could be frustrating; try another approach if you hit a dead end. Tonight: Assume the lead role. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Know that your role is to gather information without threatening anyone. Ask questions and make comments that encourage others to keep speaking. Though you might be empathetic to someone’s role or actions, it would be wise to say very little right now. Tonight: Not to be found. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are more grounded than
many people around you. A meeting will give more meaning to a situation. Your suggestions, though greeted positively, might not be used. Avoid becoming impatient with a family member or domestic situation. Tonight: Find your friends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Pressure builds around work. You might ask yourself how much you need to play the game. Until you come to a decision, sit tight. You will be much happier with the results if you do. Follow your sixth sense, and you’ll say the right words to a loved one. Tonight: At home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You can communicate on many levels, but first you need to gain a better sense of the implications of what is happening. Several discussions with people who know more than you could prove to be instrumental. Listen to a suggestion. Tonight: Be around music.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our mid-20s, have been married for five years and have two children. We are both full-time students with jobs. My job is full time and his is part time. However, our responsibilities at home are split so that I do 95.5 percent of everything, and he does what’s left. My husband refuses to look for a full-time job and seems quite content being in debt and struggling to pay bills. He also refuses to create a budget and won’t read any articles I bring home on the subject of communication in marriage. He declines all suggestions of family time or date nights. He prefers to be alone, and that includes sleeping by himself. I feel stuck. Is this a phase that will pass? Should I get a divorce? When we married, we said it was forever, but that was when he promised that everything would be split 50/50 and that we would share our lives. What do I do? -- Young and Stuck Dear Young: This is not a phase that will pass. This is what your husband is going to be like as long as he can get away with it. The fact that he prefers to sleep alone indicates that there is more going on than an uneven split in household chores. Get some counseling, preferably with your husband, but without him, if necessary. Find out what you can change, what you cannot and what you are willing to live with. Dear Annie: I have been married for eight years and knew my husband for four years before that. The problem is my stepchildren. Whenever there is a family function, invitations are addressed to my husband only, as if I don’t exist. My husband’s children always buy him gifts for his birthday and holidays, but I get a gift from one or two of them, and the rest ignore me. I sign everything, “Dad and Mary” or “Grandpa Bob and Grandma Mary,” but the thank-you always goes to “Dad” or “Grandpa.” His grown children are nice to me, but I am not included in anything. Even on the wedding invitation from his son, it was addressed to “Bob Jones and Family.” I have children of my own, and they would never dream of treating their stepdad like this. Am I being too sensitive? I am at the point where I don’t want to participate in any more birthday parties, holidays or anything else that involves getting together with his kids. I have tried so hard to get them to like me. I met their Dad after his marriage was over, and his wife had cheated on him. They treat their stepdad great. So why do I get this treatment? I don’t think it’s ever going to get any better. Am I right to say forget about them? -- Feel Left Out Dear Feel: We think the kids like you well enough, but they aren’t entirely comfortable with your position. And where their mother no doubt insists that they treat her husband with respect, your husband doesn’t seem to be demanding the same. He needs to tell his kids that notes and invitations to the two of you need to be addressed that way, and that your special occasions should be recognized with at least a card. Meanwhile, we hope you can handle some of this with humor instead of bitterness. It will help. Dear Annie: I was taken back by “Betsey’s” response to “Concerned Mother.” To this day, I send my mother a text telling her I am home when returning from a trip. This is something I have done since I was a latchkey kid, all the way through college and now as a 33-year-old working mom. It gives both of us peace of mind. My 42-year-old husband does the same thing. We do not feel suffocated. It’s just what we do when we know others love us. -- Latchkey Mom Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Teresa arrived in Canada in 1955, and raised her three sons while also working outside the home from time to time. She was a wonderful mother, well-renowned for her cooking, baking and giving away her garden’s plentiful bounty. Her birthday often fell on Mother’s Day. Over the many years, she enjoyed the kindness and warmth of family and friends whom she always welcomed into her home and garden. She had a lively sense of humour and a strong will. She was a compassionate listener and a great friend and confidante. We will miss her dearly. Prayers for close, personal friends and family will be held on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at 7:00 pm at Mark Memorial. A private funeral service for family will be held at Mark Memorial on May 14, 2014 at 11:00 am. Entombment at the Cranbrook Mausoleum will follow the service. In lieu of flowers, those who wish, may make donations in Teresa’s memory to her beloved Saint Anthony of Padua Mission Aid. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com.

WASHINGTON — The huge West Antarctic ice sheet is starting a glacially slow collapse in an unstoppable way, two new studies show. Alarmed scientists say that means even more sea level rise than they figured. The worrisome outcomes won’t be seen soon. Scientists are talking hundreds of years, but over that time the melt that has started could eventually add 4 to 12 feet (1.2 to 3.6 metres) to current sea levels. A NASA study looking at 40 years of ground, airplane and satellite data of what researchers call “the weak underbelly of West Antarctica’’ shows the melt is happening faster than scientists had predicted, crossing a critical threshold that has begun a domino-like process. “It does seem to be happening quickly,’’ said University of Washington glaciologist Ian Joughin, lead author of one study. “We really

250-426-8686 Strong outlook for daily newspapers
S
mart newspapers today recognize they can run a very protable business by providing relevant, entertaining and innovative ideas and content. “Let’s not miss the point, either”, says Bill McDonald, group publisher of Metro English Canada. “Maybe there are some trends in place that show some declines in some areas. But newspapers still deliver a massive audience in every city across the country. That’s not changing. The Toronto Star still delivers one million readers every day. There’s no other medium with that kind of reach in one day.” In fact, threequarters of Canadians (13.9 million) read a printed edition of daily newspaper each week, according to NADbank readership data. “Increased media competition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesn’t change one crucial fact”, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of GenesisVizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada. “Daily newspapers offer the same benets they always have: the ability to reach customers quickly. Only with a daily paper are you able to choose to do an ad and run with it in two days, and reach a sizeable portion of the population, in a fairly mass, fairly broad and fairly fast way. That’s a set of qualities very few other media can match.” “Major pubishers and media buyers agree— strong readership gures are testament to improved product.

news conference Monday. “The system is in sort of a chain reaction that is unstoppable,’’ said NASA glaciologist Eric Rignot, chief author of the NASA study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. “Every process in this

PUBLIC NOTICE
BOIL WATER NOTICE In accordance with Interior Health’s Water Quality Notification Program the City of Kimberley has issued a BOIL WATER NOTICE for ALL USERS. Recent testing shows that current water quality is poor due to increased turbidity (cloudiness) in the water. Interior Health recommends that all customers drink boiled water or a safe alternative until further notice. Water intended for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making juice or ice, or brushing teeth should be boiled for one minute. Water should then be cooled and stored in a clean, covered container in the fridge. Customers may also choose to use bottled or distilled water, or water that has been filtered through a well-maintained treatment device. Health risks increase as turbidity rises, particularly for at-risk populations such as newborns, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. Contaminants such as viruses, bacteria and parasites can attach themselves to the suspended particles in turbid water. These particles can then interfere with disinfection, limiting chlorine’s ability to remove or inactivate the contaminants. Current turbidity levels exceed the 1 NTU standard recommended in the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality. Owners of public facilities must post Boil Water Notices at all sinks or drinking water fountains accessible to the public (alternatively, public fountains and taps may be turned off ). As opportunities arise, they must also advise their clientele verbally of the Boil Water Notice. The City of Kimberley is taking additional measures to reduce risk. Interior Health has been fully involved and the public will be notified when conditions change or water quality has improved. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause and appreciate your cooperation and patience during this time. If you have any questions please contact the City of Kimberley at 250.427.9660 or visit our website at www.kimberley.ca OPERATIONS & ENVIRONMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT May 12, 2014
ty of California Irvine, and other scientists said the “grounding line’’ which could be considered a dam that stops glacier retreat has essentially been breached. The only thing that could stop the retreat in this low-altitude region is a mountain or hill and there is none. Another way to think of it is like wine flowing from a horizontal uncorked bottle, he said. Rignot looked at six glaciers in the region with special concentration on the Thwaites glacier, about the size of New Mexico and Arizona combined. Joughin’s study uses computer simulations and concludes “the early-stage collapse has begun.’’ Rignot, who used data that showed a speed up of melt since the 1990s, said the word “collapse’’ may imply too fast a loss, it would be more the start of a slow-motion collapse and “we can’t stop it.’’
PM sparks law to protect police dogs C ANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — Prime Minister Stephen Harper was in Edmonton on Monday to meet with police canine units and to announce the introduction of new legislation dubbed Quanto’s Law. The proposed legislation calls for serious consequences for anyone who harms police, service and Canadian Armed Forces animals. Quanto was an Edmonton police service dog who was stabbed to death while trying to apprehend a fleeing suspect last October. The legislation, promised in the 2013 throne speech, proposes Criminal Code amendments to impose a minimum six-month jail sentence for those who kill police dogs. The maximum sentence would be five years.
