April is Daffodil Month in KimberleySupport Cancer

Society fundraisers in Kimberley

C AROLYN GR [email protected]

April is Daffodil Month in Canada and wearing a daffo-dil pin or purchasing a bunch of fresh daffodils is one way to support the Canadian Cancer Society and those who live with cancer.

Dona Bannenberg, a Can-cer Society volunteer, will be heading up the Daffodil Month efforts in Kimberley

throughout April.On Friday, March 28 and

Saturday, March 2 9 , Dona and fellow Cancer Society vol-unteer Irma de Viss-er will kick off Daf-fodil Month by selling l i v e b u n c h e s of the flow-ers at Kimber-ley’s Overwaitea from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The daffodil pin will be available to purchase by dona- t i o n at many local businesses in

Kimberley throughout April.Canadians are encouraged

to buy the pin and wear it during April – Daffo-dil Month – to visibly unite everyone in

the fight against cancer.

“Wear-ing a daffodil

pin is a simple gesture, but it brings a power-

ful message of h o p e to families fight-ing cancer,” said Bannenberg.

“When families facing cancer see the pin I hope they know that they are not alone, and that we are all in this fight to-gether.”

Money raised through sale of daffodils and pins helps the Canadian Cancer Society fund life-saving cancer re-search, and offer vital and compassionate support to help people navigate their cancer journeys.

“Two in five Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes,” Bannenberg said. “Let them know they are not alone. Buy fresh-cut daf-fodils and the daffodil pin this April.”

EK snowpack at 98 per cent of

normal; avalanche

danger considerableC AROLYN GR ANT

[email protected]

The Ministry of For-ests, Lands and Natural Resources River Fore-cast Centre released their latest information on snowpacks across the province this week.

The information is up to date as of March 1, 2014 and shows quite a range in terms of snow accumulation in different regions.

The East Kootenay snowpack is at 98 per cent of normal. Snow-packs in the Upper Fra-ser are well above nor-mal at 130 per cent, while Vancouver Island and the South Coast are very low at 53 per cent of normal.

Given the time of year, significant wet weather is required over the next one to two months to recover the snow pack to nor-mal levels in those re-gions, the report says.

The East Kootenay should have a normal runoff year with the snowpack at almost 100 per cent of normal. However, conditions at the time of higher ele-vation runoff can have a huge effect on what actually occurs. Last year, which was a re-cord year for flooding in June, the snow pack was 90 per cent of nor-mal. But heavy rains added to the problem, and that is harder to

predict.“It is important to

note that snow pack is only one element that influences whether flooding occurs during the spring freshet,” the report says. “Of critical importance are how the snow melts and how much, and when, precipitation is re-ceived during the snow melt period.

“Therefore weather during the melt season is the key driver that determines if flooding will occur or not. Heavy snow packs lead to an increased likelihood, or risk, of flooding, how-ever flooding can occur during years with nor-mal snow pack and conversely years with heavy snow pack do not always lead to flooding.“

The next snow bul-letin will be released on April 8, 2014.

Meanwhile the Ca-nadian Avalanche Cen-tre is warning of “con-siderable” danger of avalanche at all eleva-tions through to mid-week in the Purcells, South Rockies and South Columbia.

The weak snow layer covered by up to a metre of newer snow continues to be a con-cern to forecasters at the Centre. Forecasters warn that conditions are uncertain and every precaution should be taken in the backcoun-try.

Over the past week-end, three people — a snowmobiler and two snowshoers — died in two separate avalanch-es at Lake Louise and in the Okanagan.

The film trailer can be viewed at www.maidentrip.com.

This fundraising event is a collabora-

tion between Selkirk’s outdoor program class, the Kimberley Happiness Proj-ect and Wildsight. All proceeds will go to support Selkirk’s out-door programs and Wildsight’s local GoWild! program for high school youth.

GreG NesteroffNelson Star

Two elderly men were pulled safely from Kootenay Lake shortly before 6 p.m. Sunday after their boat cap-sized.

Nelson residents Cory Scanlon and step-son Braeden McRae, 15, were fishing under-neath the orange bridge when they saw “some commotion” on the

north side of the lake, below Amanda’s Restaurant.

“We didn’t really know what was going on,” Scanlon said. “We raced over and pulled them out. It was crazy.”

They didn’t initially hear any cries of dis-tress, but later made out very faint calls for help.

“We were fishing away and concentrating on what we were doing.

But things didn’t look right. I said ‘What’s going on over there?’ My son said ‘I think that boat’s upside down.’”

McRae said they un-tied their fishing boat and sped across to dis-cover one man sitting on top of the small overturned vessel and another hanging onto the back handles. They’d been in the water about five min-

utes.“It was kind of hard

getting them in with all their wet clothes,” McRae said. “We got the heater going and tied our boat to theirs so we could drag it back. Then we heard voices above us — the police yelling to ask if they needed an ambulance.”

Neither, however, re-quired medical treat-ment. The men, one 82 and the other in his mid-70s, were from Six Mile. It appears they were trying to untie their boat from the bridge when it flipped.

Both Scanlon, the co-owner of Western

Auto Wreckers, and McRae have previous experience in water res-cues.

In 2008, Scanlon and tow truck assistant Jay Juniper were on High-way 6 at Summit Lake when they spotted a car in the water at night. They swam out and pulled an unconscious passenger to safety. For his actions, Scanlon was presented with the Order of St. John, a na-tional life-saving award. After the ceremony, he told the Star it was “a once-in-a-lifetime thing for me I’m sure. I don’t see that happening again.”

But after this week’s effort, he was dumb-founded at his knack for being in the right place at the right time.

“I couldn’t believe it. I phoned my wife and said ‘Guess what? It happened again.’”

McRae, meanwhile, was boating near Silver-ton last summer with his father and a friend when they heard some-one cry for help. They saw a man “holding on for dear life” to a flipped-over kayak about 50 feet away and pulled him from the choppy waters of Slocan Lake.

McRae said while he and Scanlon go fishing

every weekend, they were actually contem-plating not going on Sunday. Lucky they did: the only other person on the water at the time was in a rowboat, so wouldn’t have been able to reach them as quick-ly.

Grateful for the help, the two men gave their rescuers some fishing hooks. “After they drove away, we went back and fished where they were,” McRae said. “We caught ten fish with the hooks they gave us.”

The Regional District of East Kootenay has adopted its Financial Plan for the years 2014 - 2018.

The 2014 budget is $24.5 million, which represents an overall decrease of $218,000 from last year. This includes a number of items that are specific to certain service areas. When those items are set aside, the 2014 operating budget for services shared by most municipalities and electoral areas in the region, represents a 0.9% increase from 2013. “The Board and staff have worked diligently to maintain service lev-els and keep increases to a minimum. I am pleased with the budget we’ve adopted,” says RDEK Vice Chair Wendy Booth.

It is important to understand that there is a difference between the numbers in the budget and the effect those numbers will have on individual tax rates. Residents of the RDEK will be affected differently, de-pending on the municipality or electoral area in which they live. On average, rural residential properties in the RDEK will see approximately a 0.3% overall increase in their tax levy.

“Unlike a municipality that has one boundary and one set of taxpayers, differ-ent areas of the RDEK require different services and these are paid for only by the taxpayers of each specific service area,” explains Booth. “In addition, even though there may be increases in the requisition

amount, new development in parts of the region will offset some of that impact on RDEK taxpayers.”

Tax calculations are expected to be complete by early-April when 2014 revised assessed values are available.

Highlights in the 2014 budget include household hazardous waste round-ups, contribution to a reserve fund for waste diversion initiatives, Edgewater water up-grade, Spur Valley water upgrade, and re-payment of a significant portion of the borrowing for the new Fernie transfer sta-tion.

The 5-Year Plan for 2014-2018 was for-mally adopted by the RDEK Board at its March board meeting on Friday, March 7.

Fed up with increasesI, like many, am fed up with yearly in-

creases. The powers that be seem to think there’s no end to money they can grab from us, the public. And neither do they care what your plight may be.

Take Hydro, for instance. The past three to four years, plus the next three to five years equals near 50 per cent increas-es.

Every mailing they send little leaflets on how to be smart, to save energy con-sumption and thus dollars. Yet they still get theirs via increases.

So even if you cut your usage you’re still going to pay, pay, pay. What an insult and double standard!

If I had my way, all these mega busi-nesses, from banks to utilities to crown

corporations and so on, making their bil-lions in profits every year off mostly the public and consumers, should by law have to give us the public a cheque in the mail to share a portion of their mega-profits.

I am not talking one one-hundredth of a cent, 39 dollars or 200 dollars either. Nor am I talking a share as a tax credit. I’m saying money — like $2,000, if not more — to each and every British Columbian.

Heroes or criminals?Destroying deer traps that belong to

the B.C. government, paid for by our taxes, and used for a legal deer cull — that’s a criminal offense. I was born in this city —

there were no deer living here then — so don’t say they belong here. Even cattle-men cull their herds, and don’t use the excuse that’s because they are domestic animals so it’s okay. They’re all living be-ings.

So to you wild animal protection peo-ple, go into the bush to see the deer. They have no place in a town or city. They at-tract predators like cougar and wolves, which will in time kill your dogs and cats and hopefully not your children.

I hope the justice system will uphold the law and find those who destroyed the traps guilty. They feel they are above the law. Let them know they are wrong.

Massive avalanche overruns Revelstoke roadAArOn Orl AndO

Revelstoke Times Review

A massive avalanche tore down Mt. Cartier’s Greenslide avalanche path in Revelstoke early in the afternoon on Sun-day, March 9, blocking Airport Way just south of Greenslide Road.

The slide crossed the road just about 200 me-tres south of residences in the area.

At the roadway, the slide was roughly eight metres high, although it was difficult to gain perspective past the wall of muddy, clumped snow.

It stopped several metres away from a yel-low road sign warning motorists not to stop

due to avalanche risk.Mt. Cartier is located

just south of Revelstoke, and its long, smooth southern slope is fa-mous for producing massive slides every few decades.

Witnesses said the slide ran several hun-dred metres past the roadway, stopping near the Columbia River. It is difficult to confirm the girth of the slide.

A worker on scene said there was no infor-mation anyone had been caught in the slide.

There are only a few homes, farms and other structures south of the location where the slide cut off the road.

A gathering of onlookers who came to see the huge slide on Sunday after-noon on Revelstoke’s Airport Way.


Proceedings here at the B.C. legisla-ture were briefly thrust into the spot-light last week, firing up the radio

talk shows and twitter feeds.No, it wasn’t the B.C. Liberal govern-

ment forcing through legislation to allow industrial “research” for things like pipe-line routes in provincial parks, or the debate on sanctioned wolf and grizzly kills. It wasn’t the teacher strike vote, as the scripted motions of that ritual combat are well known to weary parents.

It was muffins. More specifically, “free” muffins in a newly relocated and equipped MLA lounge, and a rack installed to hold the said muffins at a cost of $733.

This was portrayed as part of a spend-ing spree by Richmond East MLA Linda Reid, elected Speaker last summer. In fact it’s just the latest phase of a strikingly ex-pensive refit to provide wheelchair ac-cess, which Reid has championed.

The new MLA lounge replaces a sel-dom-used one at the top of steep stairs high in the 1898 stone structure. The new lounge is served by a ramp near the chamber exit to another under-used room in the library, and equipped with big-screen TVs to follow proceedings, similar to those installed in the legislature chamber last year.

Everything done here is expensive, from matching ornate woodwork to up-grading ancient plumbing and wiring. But the public, conditioned by media to ex-pect corruption and scandal, would rath-er be outraged about free muffins.

Prior to this, MLAs had to troop down to the basement dining room to put muffins and coffee on their expense accounts, or have an assistant fetch them. The out-raged talk shows didn’t mention that. There are access issues in the dining room too, a fact more difficult to ignore with Children and Family Development Minis-

ter Stephanie Cadieux, Paralympian Mi-chelle Stilwell and former Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan now elected to serve using their wheelchairs.

A costly new outside access ramp as-sisted Kenny Michell, who visited last week to tell his harrowing story of the Burns Lake sawmill explosion that nearly burned him to death in 2012 and left him in a wheelchair.

The NDP brought a delegation of sur-vivors and family members of the dead from sawdust explosions in Burns Lake and Prince George. They supported the opposition’s demand for an independent inquiry, although their own demands ranged from counselling for long-suffer-ing wives to seeing someone punished for alleged negligence.

The scandal pushed in this tragic story is that some evidence was not protected by WorkSafeBC and wouldn’t have been admissible in court. Prosecutors also said they had enough evidence for charges, but the companies or executives would be able to show “due diligence” that would likely result in acquittal.

What that means in English is that the explosion risk of extra-dry dust and air wasn’t fully grasped by either mill opera-tors or WorkSafeBC. All B.C. mills are now subject to more scrutiny, and a cor-oner’s inquest will be calling witnesses this fall to see what lessons can be learned.

Back to pipelines through parks. This may seem like a scandal to urban B.C. residents who already fret about the pos-sibility of the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline, or one of several proposed gas pipelines, intruding on a park.

It’s not as well known that Trans Mountain completed a major twinning and upgrading project on the Alberta side in 2008. It crosses Mount Robson Provin-cial Park and Jasper National Park, with-out incident or scandal to date.

But back to muffingate, as it’s be-come known around here. I don’t know why people are so cynical and uninterest-ed in serious issues. I wish I did.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

There is one week left of the WHL regular season.

Kootenay will be closing it off with a quick midweek two-game road trip to Ed-monton (Tuesday) and Red Deer (Wednesday) before capping it off with a home and home series with the Calgary Hitmen.

They officially clinched their 16th straight playoff spot on Friday night during a 5-2 win over the Medicine Hat Tigers, as the franchise currently has the longest ac-tive postseason streak in the WHL.

“It’s amazing,” said Ice de-

fenceman Jagger Dirk. “I came in here when it was just at 11 and to go into 16—to pass the torch on for the next guys—it means a lot to me and I know it means a lot to Jeff [Chynoweth] and the or-ganization upstairs.”

Kootenay got a boost in the forward ranks on the weekend with the addition of Jon Martin and Kyle O’Con-nor, who had been out to ill-ness and injury, respectively.

“Definitely nice to have those two guys back up front,” said fellow forward Zach McPhee. “It added some more depth for sure, and coming in from the road after what happened with

Tim [Bozon], being able to come back to get four points at home is pretty good.”

However, this is no time to coast into the playoffs.

The Ice, in fifth place (82 points), are desperately try-ing to catch the Tigers, who occupy fourth (88 points). In turn, the Swift Current Bron-cos, in sixth (79 points), are trying to improve their play-off seeding and could poten-tially leapfrog the Kootenay club.

Here’s the situation.With four games left, the

Ice play three games against two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference—Ed-monton (Tuesday) and the

series with Calgary. Medicine Hat plays Ed-

monton on Wednesday, then wraps it up with a home and home series with the cel-lar-dwelling Lethbridge Hur-ricanes.

Swift Current plays the Saskatoon Blades and closes with a home and home se-ries with the Moose Jaw War-riors. Both opponents for the Broncos are not in the play-off picture.

Needless to say, at first glance, the Ice have the toughest schedule.

Edmonton was last here in January for a pair of games, playing the Ice twice at Western Financial Place

due to travel. Kootenay lost in a shootout, but picked up a 5-4 win in the following re-match.

Edmonton, which reigns on top of the Conference standings, has been a little inconsistent of late, splitting their last 10 games with five wins and five losses.

However, Edmonton is on top of the conference for a reason.

“They’re a very good team, they have a lot of tal-ent,” said Dirk. “We got to shut down their top guys and they’re obviously going to try to do the same to us. It’s going to come down to puck management and who sticks

to the game plan the best and executes [it].”

Following the Oil Kings affair on Tuesday, the Ice will head into Red Deer to chal-lenge the Rebels on Wednes-day. Goaltender Patrik Bar-tosak shut the door to give the Rebels a 4-0 win at West-ern Financial Place last Tuesday, a result that still stings for the Ice.

“Getting shut out in our home barn 4-0 is a little em-barrassing, because we know we’re way better than that,” said Dirk. “So we have a little chip on our shoulder, we want to go in and get two points in their barn and get back at them.”

Ice have tough schedule to close out WHL season

SHAYLEE RUTLEDGESpecial to the

Daily Townsman

When our fifth day and final game arrived, it was both exciting and upsetting. We were pumped up and ready to play Prince George and we competed very well against them.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter Coach Nutini told the six graduating girls that they would be playing out the remaining min-utes of the game. This was perhaps the last chance some of us would have to play competitive basketball.

Heidi, Brette, Han-

nah, Marlize, Megan Tadey, and I played that last quarter togeth-er as a group. We gave everything we had in our last high school game ever.

Even though our team lost on the score-board, we beat the op-posing team in effort, grit, and heart.

When the buzzer sounded, ending the game, some tears were shed, but they did not last long. We had to hustle out of the change room after our game as we planned to do a polar bear plunge be-fore returning to watch the final game.

It was pouring rain as we drove to White Rock. We left our jer-seys on, took off our shoes and socks, and prepared ourselves for the cold water.

The tide was out so we had to run quite a distance on the beach until we reached the ocean waves.

As a team we joined hands and ran into the freezing water. All of us made it in waist deep, but Marlize took it one step further and ducked all the way under. We ran back to our coach and parents, grabbed our towels, and loaded back in the cars to drive

back to the gym. The final game was

close and suspenseful to watch, but the great-est excitement came for us in the closing cere-monies. We received the Most Sportsman-like Team award and were thrilled.

Our efforts were rec-ognized and the trophy we brought home re-flected our team’s ulti-mate goals, which are to play with heart and also to be great ambas-sadors for our school and community.

Overall, our experi-ence at the AAA Bas-ketball Provincials was incredible. We enjoyed

every moment together as a team on and off the court and are also for-ever grateful to our amazing coach, Al Nu-tini. Without him, we would not have grown the way we did over the season.

The memories we made this year will be cherished throughout our lifetimes and we were thankful for the opportunity to repre-sent Mount Baker Sec-ondary School.

Baker Secondary School senior girls basketball team. She documented

the trials and tribulations of the Wild during their

trip to the provincial championship in

Vancouver.

Nitros take series lead over CrestonTRE VOR CR AWLEY

Sports Editor

The Nitros turned up the heat on Monday night and beat the Creston Valley Thunder Cats 4-1 to take a 2-1 series lead in the second round of the KIJHL play-offs.

Jason Richter, Jared Marchi, Tyler Garcia and Jordan Busch supplied the goals for Kimberley, while Tyler Podgorenko an-swered back for the T-Cats.

Dynamiters goaltender Tyson Brouwer picked up the win with 33 saves while Kyle Michalovsky turned away 22 shots for Cres-ton.

Kimberley won the special teams battle, scoring once in three powerplay chances, while shutting out the Thunder Cats with six penalty kills.

“Our team prides itself on our work ethic and I think that’s one of the main reasons why we were able to shut them down,” said Nitro forward Dylan Sibbald. “We worked hard all year in practice and did lots of bag

skates, so we have to attribute that to our success, as well.”

Richter got it started less than three minutes into the game on the powerplay for a quick lead, while Marchi doubled it up by banking a shot off Michalovsky from behind the net.

Kimberley had the majority of puck possession and offensive chances in the first period, and carried their play into the second period, with Garcia sniping a sharp angle shot eight minutes into the frame for a 3-0 lead.

However, the momentum seemed to shift a bit after that, as the Thunder Cats woke up to the reality of their deficit. Despite pushing hard in the Nitros zone, the Kimberley team, with some stellar work from Brouwer, were able to hold Creston at bay.

However, the Thunder Cats were able to keep up the pres-sure in the early stages of the third period, and Podgorenko was rewarded with a goal to get Creston on the board.

The latter half of the final pe-

riod made for some tense hock-ey as the Nitros began a parade to the penalty box.

Garcia was hit with a board-ing minor and 10-minute mis-conduct, while Tanner Gray and Bryce Perpelitz were also sent to the sin bin.

However, the Dynamiters were able to pull out all the stops on the penalty kill and hold off the Creston attack.

With a powerplay in hand, the T-Cats pulled Michalovsky for six attackers against four Kimberley defenders, and Busch found the back of the net on a clearing at-tempt.

Before the game, the Thunder Cats were dealt a big blow with the suspension of forward Bran-don Formosa, who will miss five games after getting slapped with a checking from behind major penalty and a game misconduct during in Game Two in Creston. The league also cited accumulat-ed fighting majors when an-nouncing the decision on the KIJHL website.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Misunderstandings seem to lurk, yet there seems to be a sense of emotional connection. You keep ignoring verbal disconnects as if they are nothing. Be aware that, sooner or later, someone will get angry. The good news is that it likely won’t be you. Tonight: Try to keep the peace! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have a way about you that draws in many people except that one person who seems so distant. Conversations will seem awkward at best, yet the emo-tional connection endures. Be open-minded, even if someone is being sarcastic or difficult. To-night: Out and about. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might be overly concerned about your finances, especially when you look at the situation intellectually. Your emotions could be telling you something very different. It boils down to this: How much do you trust your feelings? Tonight: Use modera-

tion. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will have a very emotional bond with someone. You could feel so connected to this person, yet you might think and speak very differently from how he or she does. Try to sort out any ver-bal misunderstandings. Respect your differences. Tonight: Beam in what you want. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) The Lion usually roars, but you might opt to be invisible today. You’ll see a situation evolving, and you could be very worried about the outcome. Share your feelings only if asked. For now, the less said the better. Tonight: Nap, and you will feel much bet-ter. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Keep your focus on the whole rather than on the individual. You will be more effective, and others will be more responsive. Confusion surrounds communi-cation, but your intentions will be made known. Use care with spending. Tonight: Where the crowds are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Pressure continues to intensify, no matter what you do. You easily could find yourself feeling angry about the situation. You also could feel financially lim-ited. Make sure that you stay in touch with a boss or older friend. Tonight: Work late if need be. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Take an overview, and refuse to be reactive. Your knee-jerk re-actions seem to be right-on, so follow your gut feelings. You in-stinctively will want control, but that might not be possible at this point in time. Tonight: Tap into your imagination for inspiration. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Deal with others on a one-on-one basis right now. You will find that communication might not be as difficult as you previously thought. Still, there could be some awkward moments. You seem to be holding a lot in. To-night: Munchies with a friend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll feed off the energy of those around you. They seem enthusiastic and more than will-ing to do what it takes to reach a mutual goal. Generally you

are the leader, and they are the followers. Enjoy the change and the break from such intensity. Tonight: Go with a suggestion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are able to accomplish a lot and remain focused by pulling away from others. Your persona at work might be more serious than you intend to project. News seems to carry a controversial aspect that could cause a dis-agreement. Tonight: Don’t push too hard. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your imagination touches many different realms and subjects. Others notice that faraway look. Some people could feel rejected by your attitude, while others will feel intrigued. A close friend might want to be the most important topic on your mind. Tonight: Avoid a fight. BORN TODAY U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia (1936), business magnate Rupert Mur-doch (1931), civil-rights leader Ralph Abernathy (1926) ***

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 27 years, and I always had a good relationship with my father-in-law. When he divorced for the second time, we offered to let him live rent-free in the guesthouse behind our home. In the past three years, our feelings for him have disintegrated. Dad does absolutely nothing to earn his keep. When he moved in, we bought him a flat-screen TV, gave him fur-niture and helped decorate. We haven’t asked for money, and he has never offered to lift a finger. Shouldn’t he at least weed his area, clean out his garage and shovel snow around his door? Dad is 73 and in good health. We pay for his electricity, satellite TV and Internet. We gave him one of our cars, and it took a year before he started chipping in on the insurance pre-miums. He would never think to have the oil changed. The money is not the problem. It’s that Dad is so irresponsible, ungrateful and disrespect-ful. He walks into my house without knocking and scares me to death. He leaves his ciga-rette butts in a beer can on my front porch. I have him over for dinner once a week, and he eats like a glutton, devouring all the week’s leftovers. He never reciprocates in any way. I’m sick of his lazy and thoughtless ways, and so is my husband. My father-in-law is completely self-centered, and it is not lost on me why he is twice divorced. What can I do? -- Finished with Him Dear Finished: First talk to your husband so the two of you are in agreement about Dad. Then tell Dad what the new rules are and what you expect. We also suggest you lock your doors, put your leftovers in the freezer before he comes over and start charging him rent. Dear Annie: My parents are compulsive hoarders. They keep everything. They have clothing that hasn’t been worn in 35 years, furniture they no longer use, reference books that are outdated, and stacks of magazines, newspapers and boxes of papers that pose a fire hazard. I would like to give things away and throw things out, but my hands are tied. I am not allowed to sort through any of their junk, be-cause I might “toss something they need.” But I know they’d never begin to find that “some-thing” amidst all the clutter. They do not re-alize they have a problem, but it’s driving me crazy. What can I do? -- Going Insane Dear Going: Your parents may be over-whelmed with the amount of stuff they have accumulated over the years and even embar-rassed to have you go through it. Be sympa-thetic and respectful toward their choices. Ask sweetly whether they would go through just one box with you to see what’s in there that might be worth keeping. If so, you can set aside the things they want, regardless of whether you agree, and get rid of the rest. But if they still refuse or won’t admit that crum-bling newspapers can be tossed, try to under-stand that this type of hoarding is a mental illness and requires professional help. See whether there is a hoarding task force in your area, and also contact the International OCD Foundation (ocfoundation.org) for informa-tion and referrals. Dear Annie: That letter from “Staying Warm in South Dakota” saved me a service call to my heating contractor. I had not changed the batteries in my digital thermostat in a long time. After changing them this afternoon, my gas heater is now working just fine. No prob-lem. Thanks. -- Jesup, Ga.

TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 2014 DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

While you’re not looking, this is what’s happening to BC’s world renowned recycling program.

Well, lookie here.

One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling

program. The next, something new and rather questionable is

being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it

right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion.

That’s definitely not democracy in action.

The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best

interests, has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big

multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan,

they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold

the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the

Blue Box program, close to its heart.

Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected officials

are using the word “scam” to describe how the new

program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several

of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.

That’s gotta tell you something.

Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what

you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling

an already-working recycling

program to replace it with

something that few people think

will be as good, is a bad idea.

This Message is brought to you by:

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at [email protected] or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC.

VANCOUVER — A coalition of business stakeholder groups rep-resenting several major sectors of the British Co-lumbia economy an-nounced the launch of a massive province-wide advertising campaign in 130 provincial newspa-pers to protest regulatory changes involving the re-cycling of printed-paper and packaging (PPP).

The campaign calls on British Columbians to contact Premier Christy Clark and ask her to re-think a plan, which turns over BC’s Blue Box recy-cling programs to an On-tario-based group gov-erned by large multina-tional corporations.

“For months British Columbia business own-ers have tried unsuccess-fully to convince Minis-ter of Environment Mary Polak to rethink the flawed plan her ministry put forth,” says Mike Klassen, BC director of provincial affairs for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). “Now business groups representing sig-nificant parts of BC’s economy have come to-gether to ask the Premier to step in to prevent this new red tape that will kill jobs and cause many businesses to fail.”

Newspapers Canada and a group of eight business associations representing tens of thousands of BC small businesses and their em-ployees in the agricul-ture, newspaper pub-lishing, landscaping, printing and custom manufacturing, retail, wholesale, food, and waste collection sectors are launching a first se-ries of ads to inform the public about BC’s new recycling plan. By run-ning in every edition of 130 newspapers across the province and on so-cial media – tagged #Re-thinkItBC – it will be one of the largest public awareness campaigns ever mounted in BC’s history.

“We are not disputing that the ultimate goal of

the government to maxi-mize recycling of paper and packaging to reduce materials going into the waste stream,” said Mari-lynn Knoch, Executive Director, British Colum-bia Printing and Imaging Association. “BC busi-nesses are already work-ing to make our province get even more clean and green, so let’s start talking to people from BC about how to achieve this. First we must delay the May 19th start of the legislation, and then get businesses back to the table to share their ideas with the government.”

The program set out by Multi Materials BC (MMBC) will annex most municipal and re-gional district curbside/discarded material col-lection and will cause great harm to the econo-my: in job losses, busi-ness failures and in-creased costs for BC households.

The confusing Minis-try of Environment-en-dorsed program creates a veritable monopoly to control much of BC’s currently thriving and competitive waste recy-cling industry. MMBC is governed by a Board made up of international business interests with Ontario/Quebec repre-sentatives from: Unilever Canada, Metro Inc., Walmart, Tim Hortons Inc., Loblaw Companies Limited, Coca Cola Re-freshments Canada and Procter & Gamble.
