BARRY COULTERWe’ve been 10 years without it,

but the mandatory long-form census is back, and it’s coming to a household near you — perhaps even yours.

And Statistics Canada, which runs the census, is also seeking enumerators to help out in the region.

The last census, in 2011, was conducted as a voluntary survey

— the National Household Sur-vey, as it was known. Kwong Wong, of Statistics Canada, told the Townsman this year’s census is seeking to collect the same quality of data as the last time the

long-form census was conducted 10 years ago.

“The goal of the 2016 census program is to restore the quality of data for special populations, and for all levels of geography,

TRE VOR CR AWLEYWhile Cranbrook and

the surrounding area are known for extracting valu-able resources out of the ground with the mines in the Elk Valley, it’s a differ-ent sort of material found underground that has the

scientific community abuzz.

That material would be fossils.

Whether it be trilobites pulled out of the ground around Cranbrook or di-nosaur tracks found in Elk Valley mines or mastodon

remains discovered in the Flathead, the local geology has a lot of hidden gems for palaeontologists.

Dr. Richard Hebda, a curator of Botany and Earth History at the Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria, is currently in Cranbrook to

give a lecture at the Royal Alexandra Hall on Wednes-day evening.

Hebda, along with local fossil hunters, visited a site in the region — the loca-tion of which is being kept deliberately vague to pro-tect any specimens that

could be discovered. Specimens such as tri-

lobites — a fossil group of extinct marine arthropods, date back to the early Cam-brian period roughly 521 million years ago.

Census 2016: Stand up and be countedincluding the coverage of small municipalities, to the level of the 2006 census,” Wong said.

“What we’re trying to achieve, through the ever-growing informa-tion needs of Canadians, is that we want to publish high quality data at the local level. This will provide communities such as Cranbrook the information they need to make decisions on services such as schools, roads, health care, polic-ing, transit, and social services.

“There’s really no other source for social service organizations in your community to understand what’s happening in neighbour-hoods — to understand poverty, to plan for education, to plan for long-term health care, etc.

“That’s what the long-form cen-sus is really trying to achieve. It’s getting reliable sources of informa-tion.”

The Mandatory Long-Form Census is back; StatsCan looking for enumerators

FOR THE TOWNSMAN

On March 28, around 9 p.m, Cranbrook RCMP received a call about a suicidal person. The RCMP were advised that this person was in possession of knives and was threat-ening to harm herself and police if they attended.

Police officers arrived at the resi-dence and spent a considerable amount of time speaking with the woman.

The woman was eventually taken into custody without incident and brought to the East Kootenay Re-gional Hospital.

Although she had been in posses-sion of several knives when she was apprehended, no one was injured.

Barry CoulterFor more than 10

years, Cranbrook’s Val-entine’s Day has been marked with lead, tenor, baritone, bass. Never has love been celebrated with such close four-part harmony.

The Quartet formerly known as “Baker Street” — now called “The Sound Principle” — pro-vided its final Singing Valentines last month, an ongoing fundraiser for the Heart & Stroke Foundation. For a dona-tion, the quartet would arrive at home or work-place, fabulously dressed as ever, and present your beloved with a red rose and a “singing valentine,” songs of love and long-ing from the romantic days of yesteryear.

The Quartet roamed the streets of Cranbrook on Feb. 12 this year, rais-ing $1,175.

“We [Baker Street

and Sound Principle] started provided Singing Valentines and raising money for The Heart & Stroke Foundation in 2005,” said long-time member and tenor Joel Vinge.

“We have provided the Valentines each year since, except for 2010, and all of the money raised, totalling over $10,000 has gone to The Heart & Stroke Founda-tion of B.C.”

Quartet members over the years have in-cluded Cliff Green, Roy Proctor, Gert DeGroot, Joel Vinge and Bill Lin-dell (Baker Street), and Gert Degroot, Joel Vinge. Michael Jones, Rollie Cummins and Ken Wel-lington (Sound Princi-ple).

The quartet this year consisted of Ken Wel-lington, Lead; Rollie Cummins, Baritone; Mi-chael Jones, Bass; and Joel Vinge, Tenor.

A red rose and a song for your belovedQuartet’s Singing Valentine tradition comes to an end

The Quartet, in an-nouncing the end of Singing Valentines, es-pecially wish to thank Marion Hess, a long-term volunteer for the Heart and Stroke Foun-

dation, who has each year received the money raised for the Founda-tion.

The Quartet also thanks Canadian Super-store and Canada Safe-

way, who have in turn donated money toward the cost of the roses.

“We also especially wish to thank all the sweethearts, who ac-knowledged and hon-

oured their sweethearts with singing Valentines.

“All the singers with Baker Street and Sound Principle have had the best job of all in that were were able to sing

and present roses to many Sweethearts and in turn receive many smiles of appreciation and frequently hugs. Thanks to all!”

Have people noticed the lack of this informa-tion over the past sever-al years, with the ab-sence of the long-form census?

“Obviously, when you compare the man-datory long-form, for example, to a voluntary survey, there are defi-nitely differences in re-sponse,” Wong an-swered. “And that’s what the 2016 census is going to achieve, given the ability of the mandatory long-form to provide high quality local level.”

StatsCan is mailing out both a long-form census and a short-form version. One in four households will receive the long-form census. The questionnaires are mandatory, and must be filled out by law. In early May, households will receive a census let-ter or package, provid-ing them with informa-tion on how to complete the census question-naire.

“Respondents will be encouraged to complete their questionnaire on-line,” Wong said. “It’s definitely the prefer-ence, but of course Sta-tistics Canada staff will follow up through tele-phone calls and person-al interviews at non-re-sponding households.”

The census will also apply to First Nations, and StatsCan is seeking enumerators to help out.

“We will be enumer-ating households and dwellings on reserves by completing the census questionnaire in per-son,” Wong said. “This is the reason to recruit and hire people on reserves. When we enumerate on reserves it’s important we try to recruit the peo-ple there.”

The enumeration pe-riod is approaching .

“That’s why we’re asking applicants to apply right now, online — www.census.gc.ca/jobs — they can go right to our website and apply there.”

There are approxi-mately 78 enumerator positions in the East Kootenay Regional Dis-trict. Enumerators fol-low up and complete questionnaires with re-spondents, in some areas they also deliver questionnaires to each dwelling. In other cases they may be required to complete question-naires in person or by

telephone interviews. Enumerators also col-lect census information from people living in “collective dwellings” — for example hospitals, hotels, nursing homes and school residences.

To be eligible to apply one must be 18 years or older, and Ca-nadian citizen or in pos-session of a valid work permit or permanent resident status, be knowledgable about the community, and be pre-pared to work long days — evenings, weekends and holidays.

Enumerators will earn $16.31 an hour, plus authorized expens-es. Wong said the em-ployment period in-volves variable start dates — from right away all the way to August of 2016. “That’s why we’re encouraging all appli-cants to start right away.”

The data compiled by the 2016 census could be released to the public and media as early as February, 2017.

“There are many dif-ferent fossils at many different ages in south-eastern British Colum-bia,” said Dr. Hebda. “People may know of dinosaur tracks, for ex-ample around the Fern-ie area — those are from the Mesozoic era, middle-life era. Here, we have much older material, 500-odd mil-lion years.

“In any place you find material of that age, it’s a wonderful thing, where we can learn what life was like way back then, when you first begin to get the first big organized ex-amples of life.”

Dr. Hebda has been with the Royal BC Mu-seum since 1980, and holds a faculty position at the University of Vic-toria’s School of Earth and Ocean Sciences. He serves as the prov-ince’s expert advisor on Burns Bog and a sci-ence advisor on palae-ontology.

New species of trilo-bites are being discov-ered locally by a Cran-brook fossil hunter that are generating a lot of interest within the sci-entific community. Chris Jenkins has been working his sites for over 10 years and is still

discovering new spe-cies.

“We’ve been doing this long enough now that we’re pretty famil-iar with the known spe-cies,” Jenkins said. “We know what they’re called and we’ve got all the Latin names memo-rized. So when we do find something that just doesn’t match any of the known species, we’re pretty sure we’ve found something new.

“It’s exciting — it’s not like you have to wait three weeks and get word back from an ex-pert. You know the minute you break the rock and split it open and it’s sitting right there, you know you found something new.

“It’s kind of what keeps us going.”

When Jenkins was first working his sites, he was discovering nearly 10 new species of trilobites a year, which has slowed to about three or four. Once he thinks he has found a new species, he emails a picture to an expert to get a second opinion.

“So once you send a picture off, if it’s excit-ing enough and new enough, you’ll get the attention of the palae-

ontologists. These are the people who come in and classify the fossils and decide whether it deserves a new name or a new entire family,” Jenkins said.

Dr. Hebda added that it’s not just trilo-bites that draws pale-ontological experts to the area.

“The other thing we know, that from this area, comes creatures that are new to science that have been never, ever been seen or de-scribed before. That’s sort of the Holy Grail of being a scientist or pa-laeontologist,” he said. “To be the place where that stuff that’s never been seen on Earth be-fore, that’s an amazing thing that’s really, really special.”

That also means there is significant re-search value, he contin-ued.

“These are people using resources to come here to this spot, so that makes it ex-tremely important,” Dr. Hebda said.

“There are a lot of sites that people don’t know about and every one of them has the po-tential to add some tre-mendous new kind of knowledge—the dis-covery of a new group of plants or animals, or seeing that they lived a lot later or earlier than we knew about.”

Dr. Hebda’s lecture was at the Royal Alex-andra Hall, which is a part of the Cranbrook History Centre and fea-tures a few trilobite dis-play. Dr. Hebda’s lec-ture also included a portion on the impor-tance of keeping such fossils at institutions within B.C., especially locally.

For the townsmanThe Ministry of For-

ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and its Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Res-toration Program part-ners will be conducting an ecosystem resto-ration burn in the Lakit Ridge area on April 1, 2016, weather permit-ting.

Smoke from this controlled burn will be visible from the com-munities of Cranbrook,

Kimberley, Fort Steele and surrounding areas.

Trained BC Wildfire Service personnel will carefully monitor the fire at all times.

Lakit Ridge, about four kilometres north-east of Fort Steele:

This 110-hectare controlled burn on Lakit Ridge will be con-ducted next to the site of the Brewery Ridge controlled burn that oc-curred in spring 2014.

These burn projects

help create land-scape-level fuel breaks, reduce accu-mulations of forest fuels, mitigate the se-verity of future wild-fires, and decrease wildfire risks for near-by communities.

Prescribed fire projects such as these also help maintain wildlife habitat and will specifically help increase forage range for bighorn sheep in the Lakit Ridge area.

Fire is a natural, normal process in many ecosystems and is beneficial for main-taining a healthy forest and a diversity of plant and animal life. Many plants and animals

have adapted to fire and some actually de-pend on it to repro-duce.

All prescribed burns must comply with the Environmen-tal Management Act and the open burning smoke control regula-tion. This helps mini-mize the amount of smoke generated.

To report a wildfire or unattended camp-fire, call 1 800 663-5555 toll- free or *5555 on a cellphone.

L ook, there’s a Bald Eagle gliding through the gap!

And, what’s that cir-cling the peak? It’s big, dark, and now there’s two of them.

Two adult Goldens, right, Vance?

Golden Eagles are among the largest, fast-est and nimblest raptors in North America. Lus-trous gold feathers gleam on the back of it’s head and neck; a pow-erful beak and talons advertise it’s hunting prowess.

On the Spring Equi-nox, Rocky Mountain Naturalists joined Vance Mattson at a viewing site near Wasa Lake to wit-ness the incredible mi-gration. The migration was discovered by chance 24 years ago, in the Kananaskis Valley near Mt. Lorette.

On March 20, 1992, Peter Sherrington and Des Allen were con-ducting a general bird survey in the Rocky Mountains south of Banff. Late in the morn-ing, Peter observed an adult go soaring high above. Soon they saw two more and then an-other small group. By day’s end, Peter and Des had counted over 100 Golden Eagles migrat-ing north. Two days later, Peter led a group of naturalists to look for eagles; they were re-warded by the sight of 250 of the big, dark birds moving NW in a single afternoon.

Until this time, it was generally accepted that only relatively low num-bers of Goldens migrat-ed, mainly through the Rocky Mountain foot-hills, that most of the birds were immature and that they were not moving long distances. This model was now to forever change. Over the next few years, groups of observers began to find other sites at which ea-gles could be seen be-tween the Crowsnest Pass and Jasper.

Each spring, large numbers of Golden Ea-gles fly from their win-tering grounds in the mountain States of western U.S. to breed in Alaska and Yukon. They return south in the fall. The populations are widely scattered on the breeding and wintering grounds and almost im-possible to study.

Along the migration routes, they pass by in relatively narrow streams, and large num-bers can be observed. In addition to observation sites in the front ranges of the Alberta Rockies, regular observations occur near Cranbrook. The first Goldens head North in late February, peaking between mid-March and the end of April, and ending late May. In Fall, some head South in late August, peaking mid-September

until early November, and ending in early De-cember.

Migrants roost on ridges during the nights and start moving soon after dawn. Typically, in good migrating weath-er, the movement builds during the morn-ing and reaches a maxi-mum in mid-afternoon. Movement stops at dusk; birds can often be seen settling on the peaks.

Big movements can-not be predicted. Often,

perfect migrating condi-tions produce few sight-ings because the ‘flow’ may be blocked by poor conditions elsewhere. At other times, our own bad weather is the cause.

For weather ‘com-fort’, together with plen-ty of eagles, early Octo-ber is the best time of year. Beautiful warm

they can travel to the next thermal, and on to the next ‘elevator’. When a number of eagles are soaring together, the

group is called a ‘kettle’. Kettles are a magnifi-cent sight with as many as 60 eagles spiralling upwards.

Raptor migrants inspire reverence and fear

days along with won-derful fall colours pro-vide an amazing experi-ence.

The ridges of the Rocky Mountains paral-lel the eagles desired migration route. Also, they trend at right an-gles to the prevailing wind, generating strong updrafts. When wind conditions are right, the eagles sail by at over 100 km per hour with hardly any effort. Even on calm days, thermals forming over peaks can propel the birds up to great heights. From here, in a shallow, diving glide,

Early next week (April 4), the deal made between the European Union and Turkey to stem the

flood of refugees into the EU goes into effect. It will promptly blow up in every-body’s face, for three reasons.

First problem: the EU won’t be able to “process” the arriving migrants as fast as new ones arrive. Migrants are arriving on the Greek islands of Chios and Les-bos at the rate of almost 2,000 per day, and as the weather improves even larger numbers will attempt the short sea crossing from Turkey.

Up to now the migrants have quickly been moved on to the mainland of Greece, but the Turk-ish-EU deal means that new arrivals will now pile up on the islands in detention camps while awaiting a decision on their asy-lum claims. Living conditions will be-come intolerable and there will be pro-tests, some of them violent.

The EU has authorised a force of 4,000 security and migration officials and translators to register the new arriv-als and investigate their claims for asy-lum. Even if these officials had all ar-rived on the islands (most haven’t), they wouldn’t be enough. It takes time to in-terview the claimants, write up the claims, make decisions to accept or re-ject them, and even allow appeals – and meanwhile another 2,000 will be arriv-ing each day.

Second problem: within one or two weeks the time will come for the first rejected asylum claimants to be sent back to Turkey. Having spent all their money and endured great hardships to get this far, they will not go back willing-

ly. It will require physical force to get some of them on the planes or boats that will take them back – enough force that there will be real casualties.

Third problem: by June, as part of this deal, Turkish citizens will have the right to visa-free travel to the European Union. Around one-fifth of Turkey’s population, some 15-20 million people, are Kurds. Since last summer, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government, having broken a two-year ceasefire with

the separatists of the Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK), has been waging a pitiless war against them in the towns and cities of the southeast.

Some parts of Kurd-ish-majority cities in Tur-key now resemble the

war-ravaged cities of Syria. The Kurds, as Turkish citizens, will be able to enter most EU countries not as refugees but as tourists – and it would be very surprising if several million of them do not avail themselves of the opportunity. But the EU’s goal in this deal was to stop the mass migration, not to change it from Syrian Arabs to Turkish Kurds.

In practice, things will never get that far. Long before the EU negotiators agree on the details of visa-free travel for Turk-ish citizens the deal will collapse – be-cause it will automatically be cancelled if the number of returnees reaches 72,000. That’s slightly more than one month’s worth of migrants at the current rate of supply.

The goal behind this weirdly dysfunc-tional deal was twofold: to cut the total number of migrants drastically – more than a million made it into the EU last year – and at the same time to end the

deaths that happen during the sea cross-ing: 460 drownings out of the 143,000 who tried to cross so far this year. But it simply will not work.

The only way to really seal a frontier is to kill people who try to cross it illegal-ly. After first few hundred deaths most people get the message and stop trying. (The Iron Curtain worked pretty well, for example.) But the EU isn’t ready to do that yet – so how can it discourage mi-grants from making the crossing?

What if we ship almost all those who make it to the Greek islands back to Tur-key, but promise to take one legitimate Syrian refugee out of the camps in Tur-key for every Syrian we send back? The Turks will go along with it if we give them $3.3 billion now, promise them another $3.3 billion later, and allow vi-sa-free travel to the EU for Turkish citi-zens. The deal is win-win all round. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, there are around two-and-a-half million Syrian refugees in Turkey, and most of them are not even in camps. If they have a good legal claim for asy-lum, why should they wait in the queue? And if they are not Syrian – Iraqi or Af-ghan refugees or African migrants – where is their incentive not to get in a boat and try their luck?

To its credit, the EU has not yet de-ployed the ultimate argument: that refu-gees are already safe in Turkey, a coun-try that is still technically a democracy with the rule of law, and therefore have no right to go asylum-shopping in green-er pastures elsewhere. But after this new deal collapses, it will almost certainly come to that in the end.

Items compiled from the archived newspa-pers held at the Cranbrook History Centre

Archives

1906Notice … The Municipal Council of the

City of Cranbrook hereby give notice that all yards and lanes must be thoroughly cleaned of all Rubbish and Nuisance by the 15th day of April and that the Police have instructions to prosecute persons not complying with this notice. C. H. PREST, City Clerk Dated this 29th day of March, 1906.

Football … The Town Football club held its first meeting of the year on Satur-day evening last for the purpose of reorga-nization and electing officers. Officers were elected and the colors to be worn by the club were decided upon, viz: Oxford blue shirts and white knickers. There were a great many questions of importance brought up and discussed with satisfaction to all present, and the meeting proved a great success. It was also decided to have a weekly meeting every Saturday evening at 8 p. m. at the gymnasium. A. M. Black pre-sided and the meeting was closed with a vote of thanks to Rev. Mr. Westman for the use of the room.

King of tonic wines … The Vin de St. Michel is recommended by the highest medical authorities, and more than 25,000 certificates attest the wonderful cures ef-fected by this marvelous wine. It is a nutri-tious, invigorating, and eminently tonic wine, it suits all ages, it is as indispensable to children of a weak constitution as to adults whose blood has been impover-ished or vitiated by the many ills to which flesh is heir. Analysis: The Vin de St. Michel combines all the constituent element of the best wines It is exceedingly rich in sugar and tannin properties, it contains also a little iron, which serves to increase

its astringent properties. The happy union of these excellent qualities and its richness in alcohol undoubtedly place it in the first rank of natural and highly prized wines. It is excellent as a cordial, very agreeable to the taste and is commendable on account of the tonic and strengthening properties which it possesses to a high degree. Dou-breres, Pharmeceutical Chemist, Late house doctor in the Paris hospitals. For Sale by A. L. McDERMOT, Wholesale Wine, Liquors and Cigars. Cranbrook, B. C. Phone 17

Tut tut … Things must be pretty loose in the Nelson jail when women of the red light district are permitted to make fre-quent visits to prisoners.

Baseball … Wardner has formed a baseball club and will have a team ready to join the Crows Nest league if one is orga-nized. At the meeting held there were about fifty people present and great enthu-siasm prevailed. Wardner is all right and has set an example for some of the larger towns along the Crow.

Wonderful display … Miss McLeod has a millinery display this week that has elic-ited from the feminine population of Cran-brook only the warmest words of praise. The hats that she brought back with her from the east are the latest in design, and are enough to send a woman to the sev-enth heaven, and as far as the men are concerned, to place them in the depths of despair, for no woman can look upon that display without being filled with a desire to purchase without delay. Last Wednesday the store was crowded with ladies all the afternoon and Miss McLeod and her sis-ters were kept busy showing the treasures in their dainty way, and the day proved one of the most successful Miss McLeod has had since embarking in business in Cran-brook.

Cranbrook prisoner escapes ... The readers of the Herald will remember the attempted burglary of W. H. Wilson’s jew-elry store by one Delaney, who adopted

the novel method of boring a hole through the side wall into the show window and using a long wire with a crook. The follow-ing from the Nelson News will show that Delaney has once more gotten busy, and also that the system at the Nelson jail must be rank: “Another prisoner has escaped from the provincial gaol at Nelson, and is still at large. The name under which he was committed was Delaney, but the name R. J . Johanson is tattooed on his right wrist, and is believed to be his right name. “Del-aney, or Johansen, is a man of middle age, height, 5 feet 8 inches; weight, 162 pounds; he has light brown hair and blue eyes. He was committed at Cranbrook last fall for burglary to serve a year, just half of which has expired. T. McKee, another Cranbrook burglar, was released from the gaol on Sat-urday. He and Delaney had been compan-ions. “Between Delaney and liberty were two locked doors, on one of which there was a Yale lock, the outer door having a big mortice lock. The prisoner, on Sunday af-ternoon about 3 o’clock, contrived in some way to open both these doors and walk off. He relocked the first door but left the outer door open. He then left the gaol by the side door opening towards the lake. Prison garb was too cold and he had been allowed a pair of corduroy trousers and a mackinaw. Consequently when he emerged from the gaol he would not be recognized as a con-vict. His parti-colored prison coat is now in the possession of a woman of the restricted district, who was allowed to visit him in the gaol. She denies, of course, any knowledge of his subsequent movements or present whereabouts. “The escape was discovered Sunday afternoon shortly after 3 o’clock, just 15 minutes after he was last seen by the warden. Constable Young was notified an hour later. He and the city police have since been searching for the escaped pris-oner, but so far without success.”

Cominco gardensAs a longtime resident of Kimberley — 69 years — I am truly

saddened to see that Kimberley City Council is considering clos-ing Cominco Gardens. I now live in Cranbrook, but go back to Kimberley quite often and always enjoy a stroll through the Gar-dens. My wife and I donate to the Gardens each year to maintain the roses there for each of our parents and I’m sure many others do the same.

What are Council’s plans for the land the Gardens sit on? Hopefully not another failed project like the old Watkins School site!

Are the people who support the Gardens on a regular basis, going to have a voice? How about the citizens of Kimberley — will they be heard by Council?

The statement by Councillor Oakley that every nickel and dime needs to be accounted for is a joke!

Think this through Council, you could do more harm than good by getting rid of a truly beautiful area such as Cominco Gar-dens.

Dynamiters defenceman George Bertoia (#2) looks up ice during Game 4 of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League championship at the South Cariboo Rec Centre in 100 Mile House on Wednesday night. Bertoia and the Dynamiters came up just short, falling 3-2 to the 100 Mile House Wranglers. Trailing the best-of-seven series 3-1, the Dynamiters will look to stay alive Thursday night with Game 5 set to go from the South Cariboo Rec Centre in 100 Mile House once again.

TAYLOR ROCC ASports Editor

The 100 Mile House Wranglers have the Kimberley Dynamiters with their backs against the wall.

With a 3-2 victo-ry Wednesday night in Game 4 of the best-of-seven Kootenay Interna-tional Junior Hockey League championship, the Wranglers claimed a 3-1 series lead leaving the Dynamiters with only one life to play with.

“I was really proud of the guys tonight, they played phenomenally well,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kim-berley Dynamiters, over the phone from 100 Mile House Wednesday night. “We got behind the eight-ball…but we were pretty resilient and battled back. I thought we carried the play for the majority of the night.

“It just seemed we were a little flat there [early on]. It goes that way some times… They took advantage of some opportunities early and got up. But I was proud of how we battled back.”

The Wranglers jumped out to a com-manding 3-0 lead by the midpoint of the second period, with scoring coming twice from Justin Bond and once from Tyler Povelofskie. Be-tween the pipes, Zane Steeves was sharp once again, turning aside 40 of the 42 shots sent his way.

Responding for the Dynamiters were Kor-byn Chabot and Jared Marchi. As he has straight through the post-season, Tyson Brouwer earned the start in net but was pulled from the game after al-lowing three goals on 18 shots. Rookie Mitch Traichevich entered the net in relief and was per-fect from there on, mak-ing six saves.

Bond was lethal in the first period for the Wranglers.

Midway through the period with Jordan Busch and Tyler Van Steinburg in the box, Bond converted on a 5-on-3 man advantage.

With time winding down in the first period, Bond worked his way

into a good scoring po-sition and sent another past Brouwer to make it 2-0 with 4:33 to go.

Late in the period, Jared Marchi left the penalty box and went in on the attack. Working towards the slot, the vet-eran forward fired, beat-ing Steeves but not the post and the Wranglers retained a 2-0 lead heading into the first in-termission.

Midway through the second period, another veteran Dynamiter found a way to beat Steeves, but not the iron.

Busch hammered a heavy shot from the point that steamed past Steeves, only to find the crossbar behind him, staying out of the net.

Less than a minute later, the Wranglers ex-tended their lead.

With Trey Doell sent off for hooking, the Wranglers scored a clean win off the ensuing fa-ceoff and Povelofskie ripped an absolute how-itzer that burned straight through Brouwer for a 3-0 Wranglers lead.

The power-play goal brought an end to the night for Brouwer, who was pulled after allow-ing three goals on 18 shots. Rookie goalten-der Mitch Traichevich entered the game, see-ing his first action of the 2016 KIJHL post-season.

“It was just a change of momentum, some-thing different,” Bancks said. “[Brouwer] is the reason we’re here. It’s a best-of-seven series, it’s not a best-of-three se-ries or five or whatever. We’ve got a game [Thursday night] and I’m sure he will bounce back. It’s a chance for him to take some deep breaths and get himself ready to go.

“Mitch did a phe-nomenal job and I knew he would,” Bancks said. “There was no hesitation to do it in terms of him being able to step in. It’s always hard to pull the goalie that got you here, but I thought he needed a rest, a chance to take some breaths and re-group. I knew Mitch would come in and do a great job.”

Though Povelofskie put his team ahead by three goals, he wore the goat horns later in the second period.

Sentenced to two minutes in the penalty box for cross-checking, that’s where Povelofskie sat as Chabot picked up a loose puck in the slot before spinning and fir-ing to beat Steeves on the man advantage, get-ting the visitors on the board and cutting the Wranglers lead to 3-1 with 3:41 remaining in the second period.

The penalties contin-ued to pile up for the roughhouse Wranglers, who refused to let up on the physical play.

Eric Buckley split the defence, bursting through the slot towards Steeves, but was hauled down on the play, draw-ing a slashing minor on Nick McCabe.

On the ensuing man advantage, the Dyna-miters were able to pull within one.

As a mass of bodies stacked up in the 100 Mile House crease, in-cluding that of goalten-der Steeves, the puck came to Marchi at the point, who had an open cage to deposit the puck into, making it a 3-2 game with 10:34 remain-ing in the third period.

Boos rained down on the officials, as the 657 fans in attendance at the South Cariboo Rec Cen-

tre expressed their dis-pleasure with the refer-ees.

With plenty of time on the clock, the Dyna-miters continued to press and ended up out-shooting the Wranglers by an 18-3 margin over the course of the third period.

Traichevich made his way to the bench for the extra skater with 1:46 to play and try as they might, the Dyna-miters were unable to come up with the equal-izer as the Wranglers held on for a 3-2 win to take a 3-1 series lead.

By the end of the night, yet another physi-cal outing produced nine power-play oppor-tunities for the Dyna-miters. Both goals scored by the visitors came with the man ad-vantage, though the Wranglers converted on 2-of-5 man-power op-portunities as well.

With Game 5 set for Thursday night at 8 p.m. (Mountain) at the South Cariboo Rec Centre, the Dynamiters are down to their final life as they look to repeat as KIJHL champions. On the other side of the puck, the Wranglers can claim the franchise’s first

league championship as early as Thursday.

“If we play like we did [in Game 4] we will be fine,” Bancks said. “That’s the way it goes sometimes. We had three posts, hit the goal-ie in the head with one and he had no idea where it was. The pow-er-play looked better, so we’ve just got to keep

doing what we’re doing, go for 60 minutes and see how it plays out.”

If necessary, Game 6 is scheduled for Satur-day, April 2 (7 p.m. Mountain) at the Kim-berley Civic Centre.

Notes: Dynamiters F Graham Dugdale was suspended three games for a head contact major penalty incurred during

the third period of Game 3 Tuesday night. He sat the first game of that suspension Wednesday and will be eligible to return should the series reach a seventh game... AP Caige Sterzer en-tered the lineup in place of Dugdale, while Lucas Purdy drew in for Justin Meier who was lost to a torn ACL in Game 3...

“I was really proud of the guys tonight,

they played phenomenally

well... We’ve just got to keep doing what we’re doing, go for 60 minutes

and see how it plays out.”

C ANADIAN PRESS

DUNEDIN, Fla. - To-ronto Blue Jays right-hander Roberto Osuna will keep his job as the team’s closer.

The 21-year-old held off a strong challenge from reliever Drew Storen, who was ac-quired from the Wash-ington Nationals last January.

The team made the announcement Wednes-

day morning before a pre-season game against the Minnesota Twins.

“I’m pretty happy to be in the ninth inning again,” said Osuna. “It’s about the confidence that (pitching coach) Pete Walker and the coaching staff, Gibby (manager John Gib-bons), are giving to me. That means a lot to me, and obviously I’m going to do my best.”

Osuna was 1-6 with 20 saves and a 2.58 earned-run average in his rookie season last year. Gibbons said fa-miliarity with the 21-year-old Mexican was a big part of keeping him on as closer.

Osuna is 1-1 this spring with a 2.45 earned-run average wit a save and seven strike-outs over 7 1/3 innings pitched.

Storen, who the Jays acquired in an off-sea-son trade that sent out-fielder Ben Revere to Washington, was 0-0 with a 3.86 ERA and two strikeouts over seven in-nings. He had 29 saves last year as a closer with the Nationals.

“He’s fine, he said coming in ‘whatever role,”’ Gibbons said of Storen. “He’s very valu-able to us.”

Storen will likely slot in as the set-up man in the eighth inning, but could be moved to closer if Osuna struggles early in his second season. Gibbons said the Jays will make adjustments to the bullpen if needed.

“We’ll see how it shakes out,” he said.

The Blue Jays also an-nounced Ezequiel Car-rera will be their fourth outfielder and Ryan Te-pera, Joe Biagini and Ar-nold Leon will fill out the remaining bullpen spots.

Toronto opens its 2016 regular season Sunday at Tampa Bay.

Status Quo: Blue Jays choose incumbent Osuna over Storen for closer role

Major League BaseBaLL

ASSOCIATED PRESSPEORIA, Ariz. - The Seattle Mariners rounded

out their bullpen Wednesday by acquiring right-hander Nick Vincent from the San Diego Padres for a player to be named.

Vincent is expected to pitch in a minor-league game for Seattle on Thursday and with the Mariners Friday or Saturday. Seattle has a full 40-man roster.

“Right now I’m just in shock still. It’s not too strange right now but I’m sure once I get in the game, my first game in Texas, and look down and see my Mariners shirt I’m sure it will be a little differ-ent,” Vincent said. “But I think for me, when I get on the mound it’s go out and do your job.”

Vincent, 29, appeared in 26 games last season with San Diego. He was 0-1 with a 2.35 ERA and did not allow a run in 13 appearances in September. In parts of four seasons with San Diego, Vincent was 9-6 with a 2.63 ERA in 161 total relief appearances.

Seattle was seeking one more arm for its bullpen. The Mariners’ bullpen appears complete with Steve Cishek at closer, and Joaquin Benoit, Tony Zych, Joel Peralta, Vidal Nuno, Mike Montgomery and Vincent rounding out the group.

FOR THE TOWNSMAN

Cranbrook, BC… Caregiving for a loved one can be very reward-ing, but also involves many stressors, changes in the family dynamic, household disruption, financial pressure, and the added workload. When caregiver stress and burnouts puts your own health at risk, it af-fects your ability to pro-vide care. It hurts both the caregiver and the

person they’re caring for.

The key point is that caregivers need care too and such is the subject matter for an upcoming Caregiver Support Workshop funded by EKFH and last fall’s third-party fundraiser Aggie’s Fall Fling orga-nized by local resident Kevin Dunk.

The Monday, May 9 workshop will be led by guest speaker Allison

Reeves M.A., RC.C. and will cover the following topics:

• Long-term caregiv-ing: Staying emotional-ly well over the long term

• Managing the on-going losses of caregiv-ing

• How to avoid los-ing yourself

• Anger, guilt and the family caregiver

Ms. Reeves is a Reg-

istered Clinical Coun-sellor and has been since 1994. Her three areas of extensive back-ground are: family caregiving, chronic physical illness, as well as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Tickets are $10 each and available from Lotus Books, 33 10th Ave S, Cranbrook, BC. Space is limited so EKFH suggests pur-chasing your tickets

early. The workshop takes

place at the Manual Training School (adja-cent to the Cranbrook Public Library) 1212 2nd Street N, Cranbrook and runs from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm. The cost of the ticket includes a light lunch.

Questions? Contact Darryl Oakley (Interior Health) at 250 417-6162 or Kevin Dunk at 250 426-2450.

Residents responsible for trees on own private propertyFOR THE TOWNSMAN

Cranbrook, BC (March 30, 2016) -- The situation regarding trees, both on private and public property and the responsibility for those trees is regu-larly a topic of discus-sion around the com-munity and many ques-tions are often asked of City of Cranbrook staff.

Each resident is re-sponsible for trees on their own private prop-erty and are encour-aged to have a profes-sional arbourist assess and/or remove trees if there is concern around safety and potential

property damage should a tree come down. It is the responsi-bility of residents to talk to their neighbours when it comes to con-cerns around neigh-bourhood trees.

Ownership of the tree is determined at ground level. Private trees are those that have 51 percent or more of their diameter on the private side of the prop-erty line and City-owned trees are those that have 51 per cent or more of the trunk diam-eter on the City side of the property line. If you are unsure as to the

ownership of a tree(s), please refer to your property survey, usual-ly found with your home purchase docu-ments.

It is also recom-mended to review your home insurance policy around damage to property or adjacent properties sustained from falling trees or other tree debris like branches, etc.

The City of Cran-brook Public Works de-partment has a profes-sional arbourist on staff, which assesses trees, conducts trim-ming and oversees the removal of diseased, dying, dead or danger-ous trees as required exclusively on City owned property.

The City is also re-sponsible for the care and maintenance of all

public trees that line our streets, trees that are in parks and trees along boulevards. Pub-lic Works is not allowed to access any private property and does not have the authority to re-move trees from private property.

There are three busi-nesses in the city that specialize in the assess-ment and removal of trees from private prop-

erty. Those businesses can be found in the yel-low pages.

Currently the City of Cranbrook does not have a tree bylaw. The goal of such a bylaw, if there is one drafted, would be to ensure the provision of a sustain-able, healthy urban tree canopy within the City of Cranbrook and would certainly protect the old healthy trees in

this community.The City of Cran-

brook values and sup-ports a diverse and healthy urban forest. The City has an Urban Forest Management Plan in place since 2008. Just over 1000 specimen trees have been planted on City property since the pro-gram began, with 350 new trees planted since 2012.

The mountains rim-ming the Rocky Moun-tain Trench are thought to provide a near per-fect route for migrating eagles. A perfect view-ing site would offer close viewing along a topographic feature which funnels the rap-tors. A clear, unob-structed view, along with experienced ob-servers, will contribute to success. Luckily, both sites near Cran-brook offer many ob-servable raptors, plenty of good people and easy access.

In the fall of 2009, Vance Mattson con-ducted the 1st extended reconnaissance count at or near the Steeples ridge. Of significance, this location is about 80 kms due West of the es-tablished Piitaistakis- South Livingstone site, giving the possibility of simultaneous monitor-ing of movement along the East and West flanks of the Rocky Mountains at the same latitude.

The ‘Scarface’ site is a convenient option east of Wasa Lake. Situ-ated near Grundy Lake, the site offers views of the birds as they pass over or in front of the high ridge. Observers may have to contend with neck strain, also known as ‘Warbler Neck’, due to the rela-tively high angle of ob-servation. The site nes-tles up against the steep wall of Scarface Peak (2400m) which is the most Westerly and visi-bly craggy peak of Mount Bill Nye (2600m).

The South Lakit site is located on a spur road of the Wildhorse Forest Service Road, at the southern base of Lakit Ridge, with Lone Peak to the SSE and the Steeples commencing just beyond. Observa-tion from this site, espe-cially in the fall, is very favorable. The birds generally appear at low altitudes as they follow the natural descent of Lakit ridge.

There is little obvi-ous relationship be-tween weather and the amount of raptor move-ment. Raptors move on both sunny and cloudy days, calm days and days with strong and moderate winds from various directions. Rap-tors also migrated when

ridges were partially obscured, by moving below the cloud base at lower elevations. Often, a ‘big’ day occurs fol-lowing a couple of days of snow and low over-cast conditions.

A ‘big’ day could consist of 80 birds; 70% Golden Eagles, 25% Bald Eagles, a few Tur-key Vultures, Northern Harriers, Sharp-shinned Hawks, Red-tailed Hawks and Rough-legged Hawks.

During an average year, observers can spend over 15,000 hours counting tens of thousands of migrating raptors, 80% of which are Goldens. Thanks very much to citizen scientists such as Peter, Des and Vance who make a huge commit-ment to furthering our knowledge of the mys-terious birds. Check out ‘Rocky Mountain Eagle

Research Foundation’. To identify a Golden

Eagle; they are usually found alone or in pairs, soaring or gliding with wings lifted into a slight ‘V’ with the wingtip feathers spread like fin-gers. They capture prey on or near the ground, locating it by soaring, flying low over the ground or hunting from a perch. Sometimes seen attacking large mammals, or fighting off coyotes or bears in defence of it’s prey and young, the Golden Eagle has long inspired both reverence and fear.

Lawns are exposed to the el-ements throughout the year, and each season brings its own unique set of challenges. Summer heat waves can make it hard for lawns to maintain their lush green appeal, while the falling leaves of autumn can threaten root systems if not handled properly. Winter frost and snow also can pose a threat to lawns, leaving home-owners with some work to do when spring arrives.Spring is a season of revival, and that spirit of rejuvenation extends to lawns. When the last vestiges of winter begin to disappear, homeowners can dust o� their gardening gloves and start taking steps to revitalize their lawns for the months ahead.

• Look for signs of damage. Winter can be hard on lawns, so it’s important for home-

owners to look for signs of damage before they begin planning any springtime land-scaping projects. Salt damage can occur in areas that re-

Seeing green: How to help your lawn bounce back from winter

ceived heavy snowfall over the winter. Many communities use rock salt to de-ice snow- and ice-covered roads, and

that rock salt is largely made up of so-dium chloride, which can draw mois-ture from grass and cause it to brown. Salt trucks used during winter storms often spit salt out onto lawns, so don’t be surprised if you notice brown spots on your grass, especially in those areas closest to the road. Winter lawn dam-age may also be caused by voles, bur-rowing mouse-like rodents that make paths beneath the snow to hide from predators and feed on grass blades and roots. Lawns with distinctly matted ar-eas may also have been damaged by snow mold that can weaken turf.

• Consult a professional landscaper. Homeowners with considerable ex-perience tending to damaged lawns can no doubt identify and address problems on their own. That’s be-cause many problems are a result of the weather, which tends to be sim-ilar and produce similar problems from one year to the next. But inex-perienced homeowners should con-sult professional landscapers before attempting to address problems on their own. Winter lawn damage may be caused by a variety of factors that can produce similar symptoms, and professional landscapers can identi-fy the culprits behind such damage and provide the most e� ective solu-tions to restore the lawn. • Remove debris. A light raking can help remove any debris that accu-mulated over the winter. Such debris, which may include fallen branches and fallen leaves left behind from the � nal days of fall, can prevent lawns from getting the sun and water they need to thrive. Remove this debris, but make sure the grass is not frozen when you do, as walking on frozen grass can cause further damage.• Let the grass grow. Mowing the lawn is a chore that’s reserved for spring, summer and maybe early fall, but it’s important that homeowners don’t jump the gun and mow too early after winter. A patient approach allows the grass to reestablish itself, so let it grow a little higher than you normally would before the � rst cut. When the grass is roughly 4.5 inch-es high, you can cut it down to three inches and then maintain your nor-mal mowing routine throughout the rest of spring and summer.

This is the first ore shipped from the mine. The ore carries a large percentage of zinc. Work in the mine is progressing favor-ably.

Work on Wild Horse road ... Don Mackay, superintendent of roads and trails, left Cranbrook on Thurs-day for Fort Steele. In conversation with a representative of The Prospector, Mr. Mackay said:—“That he was going to work up Wild Horse creek and com-plete the wagon road to Brewery creek.” This is much needed improve-ment, and will enable the miners working on that creek to get in sup-plies without climbing

Millions of feet of timber ... During the present year over 8,000,000 feet of timber will be floated down the Kootenay river from the Sheep creek camps and Skookum-Chuck, and there are other small camps located at vari-ous points on the Koo-tenay and its tributar-ies. There are about 350 men employed in these camps. On the St. Mary’s river there are located three large camps employing from 150 to 200 men. Some six to eight million feet will go down the St. Mary’s to the Kootenay river this season. It is reported that the Crow’s Nest Lumber Co., will boom not less than 20,000,000 feet of logs at Wardner this year.

Want to play at Cranbrook ... The Fern-ie Amateur Theatrical Co., is desirous of play-ing at Cranbrook, and will close a date with any charitable institu-tion. The proceeds, after deducting expens-es, will be given to the society or institution that secures the compa-ny.

Cricket anyone? … Cranbrook has asked the Nelson cricket club to give that city a date when a team will come to Nelson and show the Nelsonites that Cran-brook can play cricket as well as golf and ten-nis.

Conservatives …the meeting held by the Conservative Associa-

tive on Monday evening was an encouraging one. There was not only a good attendance, but an evident interest on the part of those pres-ent that augers well for the spirit with which conservatives are lining up for a campaign next year. And the interest was not worked up by those who take a most active part in political affairs, but by Conser-vatives who are desir-ous of the future suc-cess of the party.

Step up … Don’t ask the editor to rebuke every evil in the city and community, but when convinced that such duties need at-tending to, write an ar-ticle to the paper your-self, and sign your name to it for publica-tion. The man who is too big a coward to thus express an opinion, is the very one who will stand on the corner and talk loudly about the cowardice of the editor.

Why? … The ques-tion has been asked why it is that the people of Cranbrook cannot act unitedly and har-moniously in all mat-ters affecting the wel-fare of the city.

Good work … B. H. Short, Cranbrook’s sign write,r decorated the Bank of Commerce building with two new signs this week that would be a credit to any city in Canada.

Great weather … A large number of citi-zens were out on Sun-day last to enjoy the bright sunshine which made an ideal day for walking or riding. The temperature was 65 de-grees at its highest point during the afternoon.

It happened this week in CranbrookContinued from page 7 the mountain over

which the old road is made, and will shorten the distance about two miles.

New place of amusement ... Cran-brook will in the near future have a new place of amusement. Mr. Raphel Lastire is con-templating putting in a fine bowling alley. He has secured the build-ing at present used by the Co-operative Stores for furniture. His appli-ances are expected al-most any day and he will soon be prepared to cater to the longings of those enthusiastic in that line of sport. He is an estimable young man and will run the game in a clean up-to-date fashion. He should be encouraged.

CONSIDER YOUR NEIGHBOURS WITH NOISE LEVELS THIS SPRING & SUMMER

With the increase in outdoor activities, there often comes an increase in the noise level in your neighbourhood. Residents are asked to be considerate of others in the neighbourhood when out doing your backyard projects or summer barbeques.

Common complaints include home and building construction and in some cases noisy parties. In the case of noisy parties, concerned residents should contact the RCMP detachment, as parties tend to occur after hours.

In regard to construction, no person in the City shall undertake any type of construction work before 7am or after 10pm. No construction for pro� t or gain can be undertaken on a Sunday, without explicit written approval by the City Engineer.

If you have questions, please contact our Bylaw Services Of� ce at 250-489-9598.

SPRING STREET SWEEPING OPERATIONS CONTINUE

Motorists are asked to please slow down around the street sweeping equipment and their operators and give the equipment space as you drive by. Crews will continue into different areas of the City over the next few months with evening street cleaning operations expected to begin in April.

Residents who do park their vehicles on the street, especially in residential areas are asked to please watch for sweepers in their neighbourhood and do their best to move their vehicles off the street to allow for easier street cleaning.

Sweeping operations are expected to be � nished by early June.

Each resident is responsible for trees on their own private property and are encouraged to have a professional arbourist assess and/or remove trees if there is concern around safety and potential property damage should a tree come down. It is the responsibility of residents to talk to their neighbours when it comes to concerns around neighbourhood trees.

It is also recommended to review your home insurance policy around damage to property or adjacent properties sustained from falling trees or other tree debris like branches, etc.

There are three businesses in the city that specialize in the assessment and removal of trees from

private property. Those businesses can be found in the yellow pages.

(Parking Permit Image.jpg)

If you are 65 years of age or older, you are eligible for a Senior Citizen Permit from the City of Cranbrook.

Under the City of Cranbrook Parking Meter Bylaw, vehicles that display a Senior Citizen Permit are not required to pay for metered parking through the downtown area.

Permits are available during regular business hours at City Hall. Those applying for a Senior Citizen Permit are required to provide government issued identi� cation showing your date of birth and a copy of the vehicle registration proving ownership.

If you have questions speci� c to the Senior Citizen Permit, please contact City Hall at 250-426-4211.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Anything can happen when you give in to spontaneity. Others will find you to be exciting. Your willingness to detach yet still find a solution makes you a win-ner. Stay focused, as you could be accident-prone. Tonight: Play a game online and meet new people. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Take an overview of the situa-tion. New options might appear. If you’re feeling a vague sense of irritation, dig deep for answers as to why. It might have nothing to do with what you thought was bothering you. Tonight: Someone is likely to surprise you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A friend’s idea could inspire you to reach for a goal in a unique way. Try it -- what do you have to lose? You’ll feel revitalized as a result. A friend’s thoughts will help you to solve a domestic problem. This issue needs some attention. Tonight: Respond to someone’s fun idea.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Continue to defer to others. You might not believe what comes out of someone’s mouth! In a few hours, you could decide that this person is more rational than you had originally thought. A friend is likely to be possessive. Tonight: Embrace the unexpect-ed; you can’t control everything. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might not feel up to snuff in the morning. You’ll feel better as the day goes on. Taking an overview of a hassle could lead to some very interesting and exciting discoveries. Consider how to increase your income. A controlling associate has several ideas. Tonight: Early bedtime. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A sudden discovery could change your perspective. Your positive attitude adds to your creativity. A loved one will try unsuccessfully to manipulate you. This person will learn through your resistance that he or she cannot control you. To-night: Observe, then decide. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Do you believe in love at first

sight? You might after today. Love seems to be in the air. You might want to help someone less fortunate than yourself. It could be difficult to keep up with a friend’s quick and/or convolut-ed thinking. Tonight: Be careful with a family member. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) A close associate could have a brilliant idea. Give it time to sink in; you just might run with it. A discussion with a friend gener-ates even more positive vibes. A neighbor or sibling could throw a temper tantrum; handle this diplomatically. Tonight: A cozy chat over dinner. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A project gets a sudden boost today. Your expertise and ideas frequently help others, and they seek you out as a result. A per-sonal matter could encourage some moping, but not for long. Walk out the door and get a breath of fresh air. Tonight: Say “no” to frivolous spending. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could receive some excel-lent financial or tax advice from an older, more knowledgeable

individual. Be grateful. This person might seem somewhat eccentric at times, as though he or she seems to live in another world. Let your intensity reign. Tonight: As you like it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might spend much of the day dealing with a personal matter. Nevertheless, a loved one could inspire you to take a risk, but only if he or she knows what is going on. A dear friend will present an adventuresome idea. Are you going to say “no”? Tonight: Make it early. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A risk could become complicat-ed. Stay financially independent right now, but listen to what others have to say. Remember that you are your own person, responsible only for yourself. Follow your intuition, and have an important talk with a loved one. Tonight: Hang with a friend. BORN TODAY Former U.S. Rep. Barney Frank (1940), singer Anita Carter (1933), actor Ewan McGregor (1971) ***

Dear Annie: I come from a large family. We haven’t had any truly rough times, but our sister-in-law is proving to be a problem for me. “Jennifer” has never liked me. At her wedding, my other siblings were attendants, but not me. She often invites my siblings for dinner, but never me.I could live with that, but I am bothered by the way she treats my mother. My brother has five children. For years, my mother has babysat for free. She attends all their events to show her support. She invites the kids to fun activities. Mom recently took on a full-time job and can no longer babysit. Jennifer always seemed a little jealous of how close Mom is to the kids, and now she’s found a way to exclude her. Jennifer has stopped communicating with either of my parents. She declines invitations to family events at my parents’ house, and won’t invite them anywhere. She won’t tell them when the kids’ events are. Last week, Mom saw Jennifer at the grocery, and she wouldn’t look at her or say hello. Jennifer’s attitude is having an effect on my brother. He’s starting to behave the same way. This is awful for my mother and an injustice to the kids. Mom is too nice to say anything, and if I speak up, it will only make things worse. My older sister has told me that I will soon be excluded from any family event involving Jennifer if I don’t “change my ways.” I don’t understand what I have done wrong or how to fix it. Could you please give me some suggestions? -- Frustrated Dear Frustrated: We don’t know what you have “done wrong,” other than to respond to Jennifer in the same negative way she responds to you. But we can tell you that improving the relationship will require major effort from you, since Jennifer is unlikely to bother. Please talk to your older sister and ask her to explain what might help you get along better with Jennifer. Don’t criticize her. Be sincere. Do this for your mother’s sake, and see if anything works to get this sister-in-law to behave with more compassion. (And shame on your brother for permitting his wife to treat Mom this way.) Dear Annie I read the letter from “Mother-In-Law,” who regrets the way she treated her husband’s mother now that she is the recipient of her son’s wife’s disdain. I was happy to see you point out that many women have wonderful relationships with their mothers-in-law. I could not have asked for a better woman to fill this role in my life. My mother-in-law did an outstanding job raising her son and accepted me into her family with grace and love. Sadly, she developed Alzheimer’s and we had to watch a beautiful, active and engaging woman fall victim to the ravages of this insidious disease. It was heartbreaking to see this decline, but she was always happy to see us when we visited. She knew we belonged to her in some way. I learned a lot from her, and can only pray that I have the same type of relationship with my son’s wife when that day comes. -- Grateful Daughter-in-Law Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Nuclear risks: PM at summit looking at nuclear threats

Andy Bl AtchfordCanadian Press

OTTAWA - Using its “best guess,” the Bank of Canada predicts the economy will take more than two years to fully adjust to the commodity price shock.

Lynn Patterson, the central bank’s deputy governor, said in a speech Wednesday that tumbling oil and other resources prices have translated into losses of

about $1,800 for every Canadian.

The bank has watched the impact of lower incomes expand to the point that next year it could become the “dominant source of drag” on the economy, Patterson said.

A burning question remains: How long it will take the economy to adapt to the complex conditions, which in-clude a lower dollar?

“It’s difficult for us to be precise about the timing and the underly-ing shifts of the econo-my,” Patterson told the chamber of commerce in Edmonton, in the heart of the province hit hardest by the slump in oil prices.

“But our best guess is that this full adjustment will take longer than two years, which is our nor-mal forecast horizon.”

Patterson pointed to

early signs that eco-nomic change is under-way and, perhaps, more quickly than in the past.

The bank, she said, has found that labour data suggest Canadians have been more willing than in the past to move to where the jobs are lo-cated. This could mean that regional job mar-kets will adjust more rapidly to the fall in re-sources prices, Patter-son added.

Economy will take years to adjust to commodity-price decline: BoC

AlexAnder PAnet tACanadian Press

WASHINGTON - As world leaders gather to discuss potential securi-ty lapses that might allow terrorists to obtain nuclear material, the summit host insists there won’t be any fin-ger-pointing.

Dozens of leaders will use the two-day event that starts Thurs-day to make announce-ments on their own commitment to secur-ing nuclear material. Among them will be Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, although Can-ada is considered a low-risk country by interna-tional observers.

So which are the high-risk ones? The White House won’t say. At least not in any pub-lic statements in brief-ings leading up to the fourth and final nucle-ar-security summit of Barack Obama’s presi-dency.

“The purpose of the summits is not to name and shame,” said Laura Holgate, a top adminis-tration official for nucle-ar safety and organizer of the Washington gath-ering.

“The purpose of the summits is to identify steps that we can take

together, and certainly, individual steps that in-dividual countries can make.

“It’s a place to create peer pressure, if you will. But you will not hear us say in an official context - or any other context - that we have particular concerns about particular coun-tries.”

These summits stem from a 2009 Obama speech in which he called for the eventual elimination of nuclear weapons. He conceded that might not be achieved in this lifetime - but he set shorter-term objectives: One was se-curing nuclear material to keep it from terrorists.

Results have been mixed.

Despite progress in consolidating supplies, removing material from

numerous countries and adding protections, administration officials concede certain spots remain a concern.

So where are they?Troubling incidents

occurred recently in Belgium. The White House says it’s satisfied proper protocols are in place there - including the recent deployment of soldiers to nuclear sites.

But an Islamist mili-tant linked to the Paris attacks had gathered surveillance video of a nuclear plant employee. Two plant employees left to Syria to join the so-called Islamic State. Another plant worker was just found shot to death in his home - a killing Belgian police said was criminal, not terrorism. One employ-ee tampered with a tur-

bine in 2014.Belgium isn’t listed

as a top concern on the Nuclear Threat Index.

Of the 24 countries profiled this year under the non-government study, the biggest con-cerns were: North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, India, Israel, China and Russia.

Canada was listed as the third safest. It scored high marks in 18 catego-ries, but was middle-of-the-pack in two: in the potential terrorist pres-ence in Canada and in how materials were dis-persed across numer-ous sites.

Trudeau said he took the issue seriously.

“Everyone is con-cerned about nuclear weapons,” he told Ed-monton radio station CHED on Wednesday.

“One of the things we’ve seen around failed states, around the virulence and the re-sources of terrorist orga-nizations, is there’s a nightmare scenario in which terrorists could get their hands on a dirty bomb or nuclear weapon.”

Those threats are spelled out in a new 166-page study by the Belfer Center at Harvard University.

U.S. companies won’t label genetically modified products in Canada

lois ABr AhAmCanadian Press

TORONTO - Compa-nies planning to volun-tarily label products in the U.S. containing ge-netically modified in-gredients aren’t going to follow suit in Canada.

Health Canada does

not require labelling on genetically modified food because the items have been assessed for safety and nutritional adequacy. Before selling or advertising a geneti-cally modified food in Canada, manufacturers and importers must

submit data to Health Canada for a safety as-sessment, which takes years to complete, the agency says on its web-site.

Food giant General Mills Inc. said earlier this month that it would start nationwide label-

ling in the U.S. on prod-ucts that contain geneti-cally modified ingredi-ents to comply with a law that takes effect in Vermont on July 1. The company said it’s not practical to do separate labelling for just one state.

Permanent station in Cranbrook to protect B.C. from invasive mussels

TREVOR CRAWLEY PHOTO

Ember Heidt, a inspector with the Invasive Mussel Defence Program, demonstrates the how the mobile decontamination unit works on a towed boat out at Moyie Lake last summer.

FOR THE TOWNSMAN

CRANBROOK – Lakes and rivers in the East Kootenay will ben-efit from a $2-million boost to the province’s invasive mussel defence program that will see eight permanent mussel inspection stations in-stalled at major entry points along B.C.’s bor-ders, including one lo-cated in Cranbrook, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett announced today.

Five permanent sta-tions will be set up along the Alberta-B.C. border (Cranbrook, Invermere, Golden, Valemount and Dawson Creek), and three stations will be along the U.S.-B.C. bor-der (Lower Mainland,

Penticton and Nelson). “These improve-

ments to B.C.’s mussel defence program are a big step toward protect-ing our waterways from the threat of quagga and zebra mussels,” Bennett said. “Through ongoing efforts, our government is providing the neces-sary tools and border coverage to stop inva-sive mussels from enter-ing B.C. and causing se-vere damage.”

In total, 32 conserva-tion officers will work the stations, which will operate 10 hours a day, seven days a week from April through October. This is an increase of 20 crew members from last year’s pilot and an addi-tional six mobile decon-

tamination units are being added to the fleet of equipment. The eight inspection stations will have the capability to become mobile if the need arises, travelling to locations throughout B.C. where watercrafts are being detained, waiting for decontami-nation.

The Invasive Mussel Defence pilot program was launched in 2015. During May-October 2015, over 4,300 boats were inspected, of which 70 were identi-fied as coming from an invasive mussel infested province or state. Out of these 70 watercrafts, 34 required decontamina-tion and 15 were con-firmed to be transport-

ing invasive mussels or their lar-vae. Six were issued a 30-day quarantine order due to risk of live mussels.

Quagga and zebra mussels

pose a serious threat to B.C.’s aquatic ecosystems, salmon pop-ulations, hydro power stations and other infrastructure facilities. They can clog pipes, cause eco-

logical and economic damage, displace native aquatic plants and wildlife, degrade the envi-ronment and affect drinking-wa-ter quality.
