Progress made

A piece of St. Mary Lake Road in Kimberley city limits should

be returned to the province, board directors agree

SALLy MACdONALdTownsman Staff

The regional district wants to take back a

part of the City of Kimberley.It’s a desperate measure to see road re-

pairs done on St. Mary Lake Road.At its May 3 board meeting, the Regional

District of East Kootenay (RDEK) board of directors decided to send letter to the Minis-try of Transportation and Infrastructure re-questing that the province take back owner-ship and responsibility of a portion of St. Mary Lake Road that is within Kimberley city limits.

The board will also write to the City of Kimberley, asking that they apply for a boundary reduction for that piece of land.

Area E Director Jane Walter said that St. Mary Lake Road from kilometre three to Highway 95A is in a bad state of disrepair, but repair of the road is not a priority for the City of Kimberley.

“On November 26, 2012 the City in-formed us that this road is not part of their planning priorities because Kimberley resi-

dents would not be served by these repairs,” Walter wrote in a report to the board.

“The deterioration of the road has creat-ed a risk to public safety, the potential for increased maintenance cost to vehicles, and with the ever increasing recreational traffic along the road, it will continue to get worse.”

Walter said Kimberley expanded in the 1970s, taking in this part of St. Mary Road.

B.C. mayors meet in Prince George; call for

return of Ministry of Municipal Affairs

C ArOLyN gr ANTeditor@dailybulletin

Kimberley Mayor Ron McRae joined 70 of his peers at the B.C. Mayors Caucus in Prince George last week and he it was positive and productive meeting.

Not all of B.C.’s mayors attended, McRae said — the largest meeting of the Caucus occurs at the Union of BC Municipalities convention in September. However, it was defi-nitely a large enough meeting to draw government notice. The pro-vincial government put out a state-ment to the Mayors Caucus, re-minding them of just how much funding the province does direct to municipalities.

NDP leader Adrian Dix attended the meeting, as did UBCM Presi-dent Mary Sjostrom.

As the May 14 pro-vincial election looms on the horizon, Adrian Dix, leader of the NDP, touched down in Cran-brook on Sunday, May 5 for a day of campaign-ing in the Kootenay East riding.

Dix arrived early Sunday morning and boarded his campaign bus to make a beeline for Hotshots Cafe in Cranbrook. There he met with Kootenay East NDP candidate Norma Blissett, Columbia River Revelstoke candidate Norm Macdonald and their campaign volun-teers. While there, Dix had an informal chat with early risers at the coffee shop.

Next, the campaign headed to the Elko saw-mill where Dix spoke to Canfor employees about the business’s invest-ment in forestry in the East Kootenay.

Finally, Dix returned to Cranbrook for an af-ternoon rally at the Manual Training Cen-tre. NDP supporters greeted Dix in the sun-shine outside the event, before filling the centre

to hear the NDP leader speak about the cam-paign now entering its final week.

During the rally, Dix spoke passionately to endorse Norma Blissett for Kootenay East.

“There are nine days left to elect an extraordi-nary MLA, nine days left to bring change for the better,” he said, citing the NDP campaign slo-gan.

“This community is crucial. We have never won a general election without winning here,” he went on.

He added that the NDP’s campaign strate-gy is very different to that of the B.C. Liberals, with the NDP taking a “more generous” path without negative attack ads.

“We are going to take the hard road to victory. We are talking about the issues that matter to people,” said Dix. “Change is possible, change is necessary, and we can do this to-gether.”

It was a sentiment that Dix repeated when he spoke one on one with The Townsman in between appointments

Sunday.“We have run a very

positive, very generous campaign,” he said. “What we are trying to do is appeal to the best in people.

“One of the reasons we think that’s import-ant is I think the nega-tive nature of campaign-ing ... is discouraging people from being in-volved. It leads people to feel like they are ex-cluded from the process including the issues that matter to them,” said Dix.

He spoke about sev-eral issues that are im-portant to voters in Koo-tenay East during that

interview, confirming the NDP’s support for mining and forestry, as Teck works to deal with high levels of selenium in East Kootenay rivers downstream of its Elk Valley mining opera-tions.

“We have been very supportive of the min-ing industry and I think the industry is very committed to address-ing these issues,” said Dix.

“We obviously want to see continuing devel-opment. It means a lot in terms of jobs here. But I think everyone who works on the proj-ects believes we have to ensure their environ-mental sustainability.

“We have been very clear that we are saying yes to mining here, just as we were saying yes to forestry today. I think that view is the right view for these times.”

Dix also spoke about the NDP’s commitment to poverty reduction, recognizing that home-lessness is a growing issue in Cranbrook.

“I don’t agree with the Liberals that we need to wait 10 years to address serious issues of

poverty. That’s why we put forward our B.C. Family Bonus Plan which gets support di-rectly to families in need,” he said.

Dix said the NDP will increase the earnings exemption for people on income assistance from $200 to $400.

“I think that’s the right decision in difficult times and it provides re-ally important incen-tives for people who are able to work, to keep more of the money they earn.”

He said the NDP will strive to improve class-room education in B.C.

“We need to ensure the quality both of early learning and public ed-ucation is high. It’s an equalizer,” said Dix, adding that when it comes to post-second-ary education, the NDP want to increase com-pletion rates for appren-ticeships in B.C.

“That’s giving people the means in their lives to earn family-support-ing salaries. That’s a key way to address inequali-ty in the long term. But I think addressing child poverty now is a priori-ty,” he concluded.

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.

• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.

• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.

• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.

• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

Selkirk students are working indoors and out on their new Storm Soccer program, which is enjoying a successful first year. Taught by Mr. Ambrosio, the program focusses on enhanc-ing soccer skills and developing leadership skills.

From Page 1It was important

that the meeting was noticed at higher levels of government, McRae said.

“We want to keep municipalities on the government’s radar,” he said. “We’re not going to go away.”

The primary pur-pose of the Mayors Cau-cus is to try to find a way to sustainability of funding to municipali-ties, and perhaps get a bigger piece of the tax pie. Currently munici-palities receive only eight per cent of every tax dollar.

While getting more

tax dollars may be a dif-ficult goal, there are ways that current fund-ing could be made more streamlined.

McRae says the meetings made prog-ress on that front.

“There was a lot of discussion around hav-ing a Ministry dedicat-ed to local government,” he said. “There used to be one but it was folded into a larger Ministry.”

Currently municipal affairs are dealt with by the Ministry of Com-munity, Sport and Cul-tural Development.

The Mayors Caucus is calling for one minis-try.

“It’s important in getting direct attention to the needs of munici-palities,” McRae said. “Grants would then flow through that one ministry. It would streamline the grant process and get deci-sions made faster. There was a lot of discussion around that.

“Everyone is aware of the needs around in-frastructure, but there are process needs that are important as well.”

The next Mayors Caucus meeting will be in Vancouver during UBCM week in Septem-ber.

From Page 1“This section of the road was sup-

posed to be repaired prior to being in-cluded in the city limits; however, the necessary repairs were never made,” she said.

Now City of Kimberley staff are suggesting it hand over that piece of land to the province. The regional dis-trict has municipal governance over any part of the East Kootenay not in-side an incorporated community but the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is responsible for roads.

“I would never have thought of this

until I had a meeting with a Kimberley councillor and staff. They asked me to bring this forward,” Walter said during an RDEK committee meeting Thurs-day, May 2.

She admitted that getting the pro-vincial government to take back con-trol of the parcel may not be a speedy process.

“I think this is going to take years,” she said.

Beside the road, the only property that would be affected by the bound-ary change would be the Boy Scout’s Camp Stone.

Garth Loxton, 90, filmed telling the story of the Mad Trapper as he heard it from an army buddy

who took part in the search

Sally MacDonalDTownsman Staff

A Cranbrook senior has become part of a local short film in pro-duction about the Mad Trapper.

Garth Loxton, 90, came forward with his unique story earlier this year after seeing an arti-cle in the Townsman about filmmaker Kaio Kathriner’s movie based

on the Mad Trapper, a recluse living in the Northwest Territories in the 1930s who was tracked down by police and killed after he at-tacked Mounties.

In his youth, Loxton was in the army with a Mountie who was part of the search for the Mad Trapper.

“Garth’s story matched what we re-searched about the events regarding the Mad Trapper. He heard the story directly from one of the NWMP offi-cers who participated in the 1932 shooting of the Mad Trapper himself. As the shooting hap-pened 81 years ago, and the youngest member of the hunting party would now be over 100 years old, his second-hand account is one of the

closest that we could have found,” said Kath-riner.

Although he now lives in Vancouver, Kathriner grew up in Cranbrook and chose to shoot the film in loca-tions around Cranbrook and Kimberley, includ-ing the St. Mary Valley, in February. Many of the cast were Kathriner’s childhood friends who still live in Cranbrook.

Last week, Kathriner returned to Cranbrook to re-record some sound effects on location. While he was here with his co-producers, Kath-riner visited Loxton and filmed a formal inter-view with the 90-year-old. The footage may be used at the end of the film or as a bonus fea-ture.

“Garth welcomed us

support from the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C., Fortis-BC, the Ministry of For-ests, Lands, and Natu-ral Resource Opera-tions, and Kootenai Tribe of Idaho.  

“There has been vir-tually no natural re-cruitment – that is to say the survival through the egg, lar-vae, and into the juve-nile stage – in the river for more than four de-cades,” says Kootenai Tribe of Idaho’s fish &

wildlife program direc-tor, Sue Ireland. “This is a stop-gap measure, but a critical one in the conservation effort as we, and many other partners, work toward implementing habitat restoration mea-sures  that should  pro-vide conditions for fish  to successfully  re-produce in the wild. It is a critical program if we are to avoid this population becoming extinct.”  

The Kootenai Tribe

Local oldtimer films interview for Cranbrook-made film

into his residence where we were able to set up and shoot a professional interview. It couldn’t have worked out better,” said Kathriner.

“It was incredible to

hear the story of The Mad Trapper from Garth Loxton. I couldn’t believe our luck that Garth now resides in my hometown, Cranbrook, and that we got the op-

portunity to meet him, let alone shoot an inter-view with him.”

Kathriner said post-production of “The Hunt for the Mad Trap-per” is now entering its

second stage.“We aim to have the

film ready for a summer Cranbrook premiere and the fall festival cir-cuit.”

of Idaho initiated a sturgeon conservation aquaculture program, with funding from Bonneville Power Ad-ministration, in 1991. The program, the first of its kind, collects wild broodstock adult sturgeon from the river and raises the ju-veniles in the Tribal Hatchery in Bonners Ferry, Idaho and in the Bull River hatch-ery in the East Koote-nay.

In 2013 approxi-mately 2,000, 10-month old juvenile white sturgeon, each with an average weight of 102 grams and mea-suring between 15 and 25 centimetres in length, will be re-leased near Creston, with more being re-leased in the U.S. They can grow to the length of a canoe and live for over 100 years.   

“They are certainly incredible fish in so many ways,” says Trev-or Oussoren, manager of the Fish and Wild-life Compensation Program in the Co-lumbia region. “Hold-ing these prehistor-ic-looking creatures is like holding part of our natural history in your hands, especially given the fact that sturgeon have re-mained largely un-changed for 175 mil-lion years.”   

The Kootenai River sturgeon population is endangered in both Canada and the U.S. due to a variety of human impacts, in-cluding the operation of Libby Dam that has altered the natural flow of the river. There has been virtually no natural reproduction in the wild since 1974.   There are thought to be less than a 1,000 adults living on both sides of the border.

BARRY COULTERTownsman Editor

A group of home-owners who live on New Lake Road west of Cran-brook have reached a level of frustration that may compel them to take direct action.

The portion of New Lake Road that extends from where the pave-ment ends to the lake crosses private property in three places. It is un-paved, non-status, and not maintained by any government agency or sub-contractor.

But as the only way into New Lake, the dirt road sees an inordinate amount of traffic. New Lake, which is stocked by the Department of Fisheries, sees year-round fishing traffic. But the heavy traffic doesn’t just include vehicles hauling boats to the lake. Members of the public also take snow-mobiles, quads and dirt-bikes on the road. Hunt-ers also use New Lake Road for access to addi-tional areas.

This heavy usage throughout the year causes considerable de-terioration, which the homeowners must re-pair at their own ex-pense, whether it is grading, plowing or hauling in gravel. The homeowners estimate that the cost of mainte-nance and repair runs to more than $10,000 a year.

“Damage this spring has already rendered parts of the road im-

passable, so much so, our neighbours have had to park on our prop-erty and access their property through ours,” said Kelly Hugh-ston-Bulmer, one of the property owners.

Earlier this spring the RCMP had put up police tape, and the property owners themselves had placed a road closed sign at an especially wet and muddy section of the road, to prevent drivers from getting stuck and doing more road damage. One of the neighbours, Darlene Wilson, said that recre-ationists simply tore down the tape, threw the sign in the bush and tried to cross anyway, which resulted in vehi-cles getting deeply stuck.

“We want the public to continue to have ac-cess, as they have in the past,” Hughston-Bulmer said. “But we want them to understand that this increased usage equals increased costs. I don’t think they realize they’re crossing private proper-ty and that no govern-ment agency maintains the road.”

The RCMP told the homeowners they were within their rights to put up a gate, or otherwise restrict access across their property. But all agree this option is a last resort.

Hughston-Bulmer said everyone was under the impression it was a Ministry of Trans-portation and Infra-structure tenured road.

However, when the property owners took their concerns to MOTI, it turned out that the tenure belonged to a road that does not form part of New Lake, and which decades earlier had gone around the other side of two prop-erties. Therefore, the road the public now uses to access New Lake and area exists in a kind of limbo.

“We’re not asking to build up the road, or have it upgraded to higher standards — just to have it graded in summer and plowed in winter,” Wilson said.

The property owners have had meetings with representatives of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Re-source Operations and the Ministry of Trans-portation and Infra-structure. But no one seems to want to take ownership of the road. Forestry will only do partial maintenance during active times for harvest activities.

“They (the MOTI) agreed they would sur-vey the road but not up-grade or maintain it,” Wilson said. “We would have to agree to give them that portion of our properties where the road crosses, with no compensation and we, the owners, would still be responsible for all maintenance.”

Wilson added that they were aware of sev-eral other much more remote roads that are maintained by the Min-

is where the issue stands between the property owners and the MOTI. But the damage to the road continues, with ve-hicles getting stuck on a daily basis in the spring mud. Wilson said the owners are already pre-paring to have loads of gravel brought in to re-pair the road.

“We don’t want to block off the road at all, but it’s getting to the point where it may be the only option.” Wilson said. “We can’t go on paying these mainte-

nance costs.”“We enjoy living

here, we live here for a reason,” Hughston-Bul-mer said. “We want the public to enjoy it too, but we are really asking the public for some un-derstanding and sup-

port.”They said they are

hoping the residents of Cranbrook and area will raise some con-cerns, “so we can all ac-cess this beautiful area without damaging our vehicles and release the

property owners from the maintenance costs of what is basically a public road.”

As of press time, rep-resentatives of the MOTI were unavailable for comment.

School District 5 has hired a new superintendent. Lynn Hauptman will soon make the move from Prince Rupert to join the Southeast Kootenay district administration. Hauptman said the move is one she is excited to make, as it will be a return to the East Kootenay for her.

She worked in SD6 in Kimber-ley for almost 10 years.

She said she has heard that Sd5 is a tremendous district.

“I’m really looking forward to working with everybody,” she said. “I’m really pleased to see the direction that the district has been taking in terms of making sure that all students are success-ful.”

Hauptman said she looks for-ward to continuing on in that di-rection.

Her and her husband are also

looking forward to being closer to family in the area.

Hauptman graduated high school and began started her ca-reer in education in Prince Ru-pert. She became a principal there, then made the move to Kimberley.

“We had a very young family then,” she said. “They grew up there. They very much consider the East Kootenay to be their home.”

In Kimberley she was the prin-cipal of McKim Middle School, the district principal of special education and part of the district management team.

From Kimberley they made the move to Penticton, where she worked in the Okanagan Skaha district.

Hauptman will be giving up her current role as superinten-dent of SD52 in Prince Rupert, where she has been for four years.

“I kind of have this habit of moving from one part of the prov-ince, down and back again,” she said. “It’s always bittersweet when these moments come along. I’m very proud of the work that we’ve done in Prince Rupert and the team that I work with there, so it’s hard to leave.”

But she said there are always new adventures, opportunities and challenges awaiting on the next step.

Hauptman said she has spo-ken with interim superintendent Bendina Miller. They worked to-gether during her time in Kim-berley.

Hauptman said that what she brings to the district will continue Miller’s work.

“She’s told me over and over again what an incredible team of people there are there,” she said.

SD5 set to welcome new superintendent

PAGE 6 MONDAY, MAY 6, 2013

The B.C. New Democrats and B.C. Lib-erals had been predicting all year that the gap in the opinion polls between

their two parties would tighten up as elec-tion day approached. They were a little sur-prised that it hadn’t happened yet. Then Friday it did.

Ipsos Reid, in a poll conducted for Glob-al TV, reported that the New Democrats were leading the Liberals by 10 points, about half as much as at the outset of the election campaign.

Angus Reid, polling for CTV and the Globe and Mail newspaper, had the NDP lead at seven points, half as much as in one of the firm’s polls released a week ago.

As to the reason for the shift, the general rule is that however things stand on the day the election writ is issued, campaigns do matter. In this instance, speculation turned to the major event of the week, the televised leaders’ debate on Monday night.

B.C. Liberal leader Christy Clark, the su-perior communicator, had presumably done herself some good with viewers, not-withstanding the concerns expressed here and elsewhere about the dubious content of some of her answers.

NDP leader Adrian Dix, who struck me as having a better command of his material, had perhaps raised doubts with some view-ers with his admittedly awkward and eva-sive manner.

Maybe her plain admission of wrongdo-ing at the outset of the debate had undone the damage to herself over that stop-and-go episode at the red light with her son and a reporter in the car.

Or maybe it was cancelled out by Dix’s attempt to play down the notorious memo to file by advising viewers that he’d been only 35 years old at the time he backdated it - as if he were trying to raise the age of ma-

jority for wrongdoing. But I’m more in-clined to credit the tightening in the polls to the polarization that usually happens in B.C. elections, as folks face up to the choice between (as one of our more cynical politi-cal leaders put it decades ago) “us - or worse than us.”

The NDP has done a masterful job of setting the theme of this election as “time for a change.” But change is scary for many people and they would appear to be drifting back to the Liberals, opting for the status quo.

Still, the numbers in the two polls do not strike me

as raising too much cause for alarm among New Democrats. I was surprised that the Angus survey had the party scoring as low as 41 per cent among decided voters. Ipsos’ 45 per cent struck me as more plausible.

But even at 41 per cent, the New Demo-crats could expect a big win so long as they remain in first place among the parties. Mike Harcourt and his New Democrats captured a bit less than 41 per cent in the 1991 provincial election, but with the re-mainder of the vote split between two other parties, it was enough for him to form gov-ernment with 51 of 75 seats in the legisla-ture.

Being first in the popular vote usually ensures a win in B.C. In the one mod-ern-day election where it didn’t, in 1996, the New Democrats under then-premier Glen Clark were able to win a majority of the seats in the legislature because their 39-point share was more evenly distributed around the province than the 42 per cent garnered by the Liberals.

As for the other two parties, both poll-sters continued to find that a significant share of British Columbians are leaning to either the Conservatives or the Greens. A bit more than a fifth of the electorate, suggests

Angus. A bit less than a fifth, according to Ipsos.

If that share holds and the gap between the two main parties continues to narrow, then the outcome may be influenced by the fact that the Conservatives and the Greens are well short of a full slate of candidates.

Both screened candidates more closely than in the past, trying to minimize “bozo eruptions” - those embarrassing revelations that force candidates to resign and party leaders to confess to inadequate screening.

The Greens managed the vetting with-out public embarrassment. But it meant that they managed to field candidates in only 61 of 85 ridings. Green leader Jane Sterk has impressed many as much im-proved over her presentation in the 2009 election. But in 24 ridings, voters won’t be able to find an official Green candidate on the ballot.

The Conservatives fumbled their screen-ing, being forced to dump some of their nominees and neglecting to register others as Conservatives. As a result, Elections B.C. reports official Conservative candidates in only 56 of 85 ridings. In 29 others, folks look-ing to vote Conservative won’t find that name next to any of the candidates on the ballot. Perhaps they’d vote for one of the other parties on the ballot, or maybe an in-dependent.

But as both Greens and Conservatives are to some degree a protest against the status quo, I doubt their stranded support-ers would go to the Liberals.

The Liberals, then, have much cause for cheer at this week’s improvement in the polls. But they are still fighting uphill against the odds, for the come-from-behind sce-nario that would vault them past the New Democrats and into first place by election day.

accessibilityDid you know that you can vote at any

voting station in the province of B.C. on Voting Day, May 14, regardless or where you live   or where your voting card says you are to vote?

Voters who have received Yellow Vot-ing Cards from Elections BC and need an accessible building to vote at, please take note that Resker’s Hall in Marysville is not accessible but you can vote at Centennial Hall in Kimberley just bring picture ID and you can vote there.  

I was also told that anyone wanting to vote in Marysville but can’t negotiate the stairs at their voting station, there is curb-side service available to you and let’s hope it doesn’t rain!  Just make sure you go to vote with someone who can use the stairs to get a Elections BC person to bring you your voting papers to the curb.  Just stay in your vehicle and apparently they will come to you.  Indeed this is a nice service but why do people who need assistance to vote, always have to jump hoops and have to depend on someone else because their voting station is not accessible?

Remember, everyone,  it is your duty to vote no matter how inconvenient it is.

I trust that Elections BC will be more careful and thoughtful for the next elec-tion regardless whether it is local, provin-cial or federal and will use facilities that are accessible to every voter in B.C. not just able bodied voters.

Annie Johnston Kimberley

supply and demand Mr. Wilson and Mr. Termuende (Let-

ters, The Townsman, April 15) seem to be birds of a feather, both sharing, as they do, an obvious antipathy towards the NDP.

As contemporaries at Fernie Second-ary School, Mr. Wilson and I remember the late 60s when Kaiser started the coal production in the Elk Valley which has continued and expanded over the last 45 years.

What Mr. Wilson conveniently forgets is that boom times continued unabated through the NDP years in the early seven-ties and mining families continued to come from all points of the compass to seek work and put down roots in the Elk Valley.

Similarly in the NDP 1990s, coal con-tinued to be produced right through the Asian financial crises and during the sec-ond decade of a 20-year decline in the world demand for BC’s resources which only halted when China’s economy really cranked up at the turn of the century.

These facts provide a rational and sen-sible economic rationale for B.C. mining during the NDP ‘90s (a decade requiring an Ottawa equalisation infusion to the province of $125 million) and for the BC Lib. ‘00s (a decade requiring an Ottawa equalisation transfusion to the province of $2.4 billion).

They also suffice to give the lie to Mr. Wilson’s (and Mr. Bennett’s) contention that somehow an NDP government means “a total shutdown” of every mine in the Elk Valley.

Irresponsible and fabricated, fearmon-gering nonsense like this is appreciated by neither mineworkers nor mine manage-ment.

Mr. Termuende’s letter on the other hand, has the virtue of containing three statistics, two of which are not in dispute. But the political and economic conclusion

he draws from them is. A Free Press (Fernie) April news item

contradicts his primary assertion that a decade’s increase in mining exploration and production has been due entirely to the BC Liberal government in Victoria.

In the item which was headed, “Plans suspended for new Elk Valley mine’,” Cen-termount Coal’s front office stated that the reason for suspension was that “… the present global economy has reduced de-mand for iron ore and therefore for metal-lurgical coal.”

This quotation should serve to remind Messrs. Wilson, Termuende and Bennett that there is a law of supply and demand out there which controls, as it has always done, the extent of mining in British Co-lumbia, regardless of whether the BC Lib-erals or the NDP holds sway in Victoria.

JC VallanceFernie

FreedomA few months ago, I was in the pres-

ence of a group of Canadian women invit-ed to take part in a discussion pertaining to Bill Bennett’s campaign.

The room was full of female energy, the same energy that generates enough power to run a household throughout a life time, to nurse a sick child or two or three throughout the endless nights, and to love unconditionally throughout the years.

And, it just so happens that our MLA Bill Bennett has found a way to utilize this energy by employing it as one of the driv-ing forces of his campaign.

As he stood amongst women of our community, Bennett listened to what each had to say about a wide range of issues including education, health care, taxes, natural resources, and cultural develop-ment. Thoughts and opinions echoed one common aspiration: the well being of our community.

As a Syrian-Canadian, this was more than just an ordinary meeting for me, es-pecially during a time where the citizens of my war-torn homeland are fighting for their very basic human rights. The polarity between a Canadian political system and a Syrian is like heaven and hell. For, in one country a man like our MLA stands and listens to why a school needs a theatre and why a hospital’s intensive care unit needs renovations, while on the other side of the globe, political leaders, right and left, are transforming schools into military bases, and hospitals are having to function with power-outages that span from 12 to over 20 hours a day. Where one side is building and renovating, the other continues to tear down and destroy.

Indeed, there is something to be said about being able to stand tall and bold, without any fear, and to practice our rights to think, to express, and to critique — our right to freedom of speech, a sacred right that fosters the democracy in which we live.

In a war-free, idealistic and democratic Canada, it is of grave importance not to take our privileges and freedoms for granted. We have a right, and more impor-tantly a responsibility to vote — let us not take it lightly!

This will be my first time to vote as a proud Syrian-Canadian and I cannot wait to hit the polls, fill in my first ballot, and take part in the building of this great na-tion.

Name-callingI would like to comment on a couple of

earlier news articles — in one of which our local MLA, Bill Bennett, called a Conserva-tive party member a “moron,” and in the other he called the NDP “turds.” To me this is totally unacceptable coming from an elected official.

This might sound funny, but it came on the heels of two weeks of massive PR by his boss, the premier, on anti-bullying at schools.

One thing I respect so far in the cam-paign is Adrian Dix’s decision to keep name calling and “mud-slinging” out of the mix of politics. Mr. Bennett shows a total lack of respect, and then says “has everybody lost their sense of humour or what?”

And through all of this, there has been no comment or discipline from Ms. Clark.

As for the Liberals, I think they are toast this time around, which is a good thing, I’d hate to see things get any worse. Many stores are closing in our region, and jour-neymen and labourers are leaving whole-sale for Alberta oil and gas fields.

As for the NDP or whoever gets in power, it’s going to be difficult for them to turn things around, but things can only get bet-ter.

Ken MauroMarysville

ConservativesAs a life-time supporter and member of

the federal Conservative Party of Canada it has been brought to my attention that a candidate has surfaced in the Columbia River-Revelstoke Riding representing the BC Conservative Party (BCC) in the up-coming provincial election. That is unfor-tunate.

It is a broadly held view that such a can-didate has absolutely no chance of winning but, ironically, by running on a scant but right of centre business-oriented platform his most probable result will be to enhance the opportunity for the left of centre voices.

At a time when schools wish for lower student/teacher ratios, where hospitals are hoping for shorter wait times and more beds, and the environment requires our studied attention, the entry of a BCC candi-date only enhances the chances for a NDP return and a government; a government that has never been able to create wealth but is really good at redistributing all that it raises from increased taxation.

What we desperately require a govern-ment that can generate the additional wealth needed that will fulfill the needs of our families without the NDP style of slid-ing their hands, again, back into our pock-ets. The focus of this election must be on the continuance of our growing the econo-my so that the social needs of so many can, in fact, be realized.

It is critical that people understand the BCC has absolutely nothing to do with the federal Conservatives and we offer them no support. Voters need to understand that a vote for the BCC is really just a vote for the NDP! Each vote that is cast in their direc-tion will ruin any chance we have for the strong economy and a secure future the BC Liberal coalition can create. A vote for the BCC will lead us back to the chaos and the higher taxation and stagnant economic growth of the 90’s that saw thousands of British Columbians leave the province flee-ing the NDP tyranny!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Orb splashed through the slop to win the Ken-tucky Derby, coming from way back in the pack and giving Hall of Fame trainer Shug Mc-Gaughey his first victory in the 3-year-old classic.

When the field turned for home on the cool, overcast Saturday afternoon at Churchill Downs, Normandy In-vasion grabbed the lead while Orb was gearing up. But in the deep stretch, Orb prevailed, carrying Joel Rosario to his first Derby win.

Long shot Golden Soul, owned by Edmon-ton native Charles Fipke, was second with Revolutionary third.

Normandy Invasion faded to fourth.

“I was really far back,” Rosario said. “I said hopefully he can go faster than that. I was saying maybe I was too far back, but it was so easy.”

Orb, the 5-1 favour-ite, ran the 1 1/4 miles

in 2:02.89Orb paid $12.80,

$7.40 and $5.40. Golden Soul returned $38.60 and $19.40 while Revo-lutionary paid $5.40 to show.

McGaughey said the victory meant every-thing to him.

“I’m thrilled to death for (the owners), thrilled to death for the people who put so much time into this horse, and, of course, I’m thrilled to death for me,” he said.

Todd Pletcher had a record-tying five run-ners. Revolutionary was the best of the “Todd Squad,” followed by Charming Kitten (ninth), Overanalyze (11th), Palace Malice (12th) and Verrazano (14th).

Goldencents, owned in part by Rick Pitino, coach of Louisville’s na-tional basketball cham-pions, finished a 17th. His jockey, Kevin Krig-ger, was trying to be-come the first black rider to win the race since 1902.

Orb splashes to Kentucky Derby win

Mayweather beats Guerrero by unanimous decision in title fight

TIM DAHLBERGAssociated Press

LAS VEGAS - The de-fence was back, just like it used to be. Floyd May-weather Jr.’s dad was back, too, just like he used to be.

And Mayweather was a winner once again - just like he always is.

Mayweather fought as if he had never left the ring, coming back from a year’s absence Saturday night to win a unanimous 12-round decision over Robert Guerrero in their wel-terweight title fight.

The game plan was defence, and May-weather followed it per-

fectly. With his father directing from the cor-ner after a 13-year ab-sence, he dominated Guerrero in a perfor-mance not totally ex-pected at the age of 36.

“I needed my father tonight,” Mayweather said. “My defence was on point and he told me to stick with my defence and that the less you get hit the longer you last.”

Mayweather was masterful at times, land-ing thudding right hands and bloodying Guerrero’s face in a per-formance that mim-icked some of his best fights. Mayweather hurt Guerrero on several oc-

casions, including a se-ries of right hands near the end of the eighth round that buckled Guerrero’s knees.

All three judges scored the bout 117-111.

“We did it again,” Mayweather said after earning at least $32 mil-lion for his night’s work. “I take my hat off to Robert Guerrero. He’s a true warrior.”

Mayweather re-mained unbeaten in 44 fights and, more impor-tantly, looked so fresh that he may follow through on his plan to fight again in Septem-ber.

The Cranbrook 3G basketball club won the title at an annual tournament in Calgary over the weekend.

Basketball club captures eighth gold medalTRE VOR CR AWLEY

Sports Editor

The U17 Cranbrook 3G Club basketball team returned home with gold medals in tow following their champi-onship victory at a tour-nament in Calgary over the weekend.

The girls edged out a

57-52 victory against the Southern Alberta Heat, after winning their previous two games that booked an appearance in the final.

“This squad smoth-ered our girls with in-your-face pressure,” said coach Joe Tank, “and were able to put

our girls down 14 points at the half mark.”

However, the 3G club made some im-portant adjustments on their defensive and of-fensive aspects of their game and went out to have a dominating per-formance in the third quarter.

“Being able to turn around and make these kind of half time adjust-ments showed just how basketball-smart these girls are,” said coach Greg Colburn.

Their work in the third-quarter put the 3G girls ahead by 14 points over the Heat and gave them the momentum needed to seal up the

win and the champion-ship in the final 15 min-utes of the game.

The road to the title game wasn’t easy, as the Cranbrook-based club had to get through two tough Albertan teams.

In the opening match, the 3G club faced the Edmonton Grads in a hard fought

game, but ended up with a 10-point cushion for a 57-47 win.

The girls carried that success into their fol-lowing matchup against the Calgary Summit, a squad that had some size with four girls that stood over six feet tall. However, the 3G girls weren’t fazed, and used their speed and showed their resilience by win-ning by a wide margin of 57-42.

Colburn and Tank are especially proud of the way their team per-formed in light of the fact that while they competed in the U17 age category, many are still U16 or even U15.

Swiss stun Canada at world championshipDonna SpEnCEr

Canadian Press

STOCKHOLM, Swe-den - Lindy Ruff was left wishing for selfishness from his talented Cana-dian forwards Sunday at the IIHF World Hockey Championship.

Too much passing and not enough getting the puck on net in regu-lation were the root causes of a 3-2 shootout loss to Switzerland.

Canada’s inability to score more than one goal in eight rounds of a shootout will be the talk of the game, but it was a secondary issue.

Canada passed the puck around for 34 sec-onds with an extra at-tacker and never got a shot away during a de-layed penalty early in the second period. Swit-zerland intercepted a

pass to kill the play. That was a snapshot of Cana-da’s loss.

“We’re passing to open people and the puck isn’t going to the net enough,” Ruff said. “We had a couple of wide-open looks that we could have shot and didn’t shoot. That’s a bit of the mentality that we’ve got to get away from.”

Switzerland’s win was just the second in 28 world championship game against Canada, following a 4-1 victory in 2010.

The Canadians mus-tered just three shots on Martin Gerber in the first period and 21 during regulation. The former NHL goaltender stopped Canada’s Matt Duchene for the win after Reto Suri scored his

second of the shootout on Canada’s Mike Smith.

Duchene was the only Canadian to beat Gerber in the shootout and the Colorado Ava-lanche forward scored on the first of three at-tempts.

Jordan Eberle of the Edmonton Oilers was stopped twice. Steven Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning and Phila-delphia Flyers forwards Claude Giroux and Matt Read were also denied by 38-year-old Gerber, who won a Stanley Cup with the Carolina Hurri-

canes in 2006.Denis Hollenstein

and New York Islanders prospect Nino Niederre-iter scored in regulation for the Swiss. Winnipeg Jets forward Andrew Ladd and Read were Canada’s goalscorers.

Smith was thrown into the deep end in his first world champion-ship game for Canada. The Phoenix Coyotes goalie made 26 saves and stopped six of eight in extra shots.

“He gave us an op-portunity to win it,” Ruff said. “You can’t criticize that. We had our oppor-tunities and didn’t take advantage of it.

“You’d probably pick some of the talent we had shooting to win you the game and it didn’t go our way.”

Canada earned four

points out of a possible six from their two games in two days to start the tournament. They opened with a 3-1 win over Denmark and face Norway on Tuesday.

The strength of this Canadian team is the in-ternational experience and pedigree of the for-wards. Ruff coached Canada to a silver medal in 2009, but there hasn’t been a podium since. Canadian teams have lost three straight quar-ter-finals at the world championships.

The Swiss upset the host Swedes to start the tournament and have five points behind lead-er Norway with six in the Stockholm pool. The Norwegians edged Den-mark 3-2 and Belarus edged Slovenia 4-3 Sun-day.

daily townsman / daily Bulletin

Dear Annie: I’m a 20-year-old woman in love with a 25-year-old divorced man who has a 4-year-old son, “Mikey.”

Lately, Mikey’s mother has been letting us have the child more often because she has to go out of state on business. The prob-lem is, this boy is very stubborn. He’s not a bad child. He just doesn’t like to listen. And for the most part, he always gets his way -- from what he eats to when he goes to sleep. When he doesn’t get his way, he throws a fit.

I care deeply for Mikey and don’t agree with this type of upbringing. I wasn’t raised this way, and neither was my boyfriend. I helped raise my younger sister, so I under-stand discipline. I am not harsh, but I do want Mikey to listen to me. The other day, we took him with us when we shopped for a new TV, and he kept running around the fur-niture. At one point, I couldn’t find him, and he didn’t come when I called his name. My boyfriend said, “That’s normal. Let him be.”

If I had behaved like this growing up, my mother would have smacked my behind in front of everyone in the store. My boyfriend insists we leave him alone because he’s only with us for a short while. But my boyfriend often is at work when Mikey is here, which means I am the one who deals with this be-havior. The least he could do is make it easier for me. Am I wrong to feel this way? -- Young but Learning

Dear Young: You aren’t wrong, but you must remember that it is perfectly normal for 4-year-old boys to run around in a store and not listen. That doesn’t make it appropriate or safe. Your boyfriend refuses to discipline Mikey because he doesn’t see him often. This does a disservice to all of you, especially Mikey. How will he feel secure and know his father loves him if Dad doesn’t care enough to watch his behavior and help him mature? Please ask your boyfriend to come with you for parenting classes. You can check online or at your local YMCA.

Dear Annie: My husband and I just re-turned from a luncheon following a funeral. We decided not to eat any of the food, as we were told by another person that the food had been sitting out uncovered for a cou-ple of hours. We felt that the food could be spoiled. Shouldn’t this food have been left in the refrigerator or warming in the oven?

Worse, people who arrived at the lun-cheon before the family were told to wait, which was another hour because the family stayed at the funeral home deciding what to do with the flowers. Is this proper? -- Funeral Guest

Dear Guest: This was a funeral, not a party. It is appropriate to wait for the family, and they are entitled to linger at the funeral home if need be. But yes, the food should have been refrigerated or kept warm. We as-sume someone was in charge of setting out the food, and this is the person you could have consulted. If the food was inedible, it would have been a kindness for a few of you to offer to get some fresh supplies.

Dear Annie: I’m writing about the letter from “Left-Out Son,” who always did things right while his sister partied and was sub-sidized by their parents. They earned their money and can spend it as they choose, even if that means frittering it away on his sister.

The idea that parents are obligated to leave an inheritance and reward their chil-dren is repugnant. His reward was their guidance in teaching him what was right. It sounds as if he is on track to repeat his par-ents’ success through his own hard work, and that’s his inheritance. -- No Entitlement Mentality

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The unexpected happens, and it adds excitement to your week. You might want to try to gain more control. You also might want to learn to trust your own abilities instead of resisting change. Remain secure, and know where you are headed. Tonight: Accept what is.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Much that is happening around you is vague. You could feel as if someone is whispering in your ear. How you deal with a situa-tion could change dramatically if you can get the hard facts. Pull back and listen more. Try to fig-ure out what is really happen-ing. Tonight: Not to be found.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have pushed hard to ac-complish a lot. It is clear that you can’t take a shortcut and still achieve the same outcome. A partnership often tests your commitment. You might want to come to terms with the fact that interaction is part of the bond. Tonight: Dinner for two.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You say the right words and charge your inner circle with ideas. Your perception could be off, in that you might see things only from your point of view. A discussion could become over-whelming. You find that a child or loved one could be sassy. To-night: Kick back.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)You might want to rethink how you react to unexpected events. You’ll be reminded that you have no control over anything but yourself. Situations like these center you, and they also allow you to see life from a dif-ferent perspective. Tonight: Let your imagination roam.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Look at what is happening be-hind the scenes with a key asso-ciate. This person might choose not to reveal much at first. Be patient with him or her, and your understanding will grow. The two of you will become closer as a result. Tonight: Opt for togetherness. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Defer to others, and watch what happens as a result. You might

seem incapable of clearing up a personal matter. Consider rethinking a choice you made if you feel pushed by a family member. Support yourself more often in what feels right to you. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)You could feel out of sorts and unable to get a firm grasp on a situation that is impacting your daily life. What you can be sure of is that you are not getting the big picture. Lighten up when dealing with a controlling per-son. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Your fiery side emerges with a change of plans. You know what you want, but you also might want to let go of a need to be completely in control. You can control your own actions, but you can’t control the stock mar-ket and other random factors. Tonight: Choose with passion.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You could be surprised at what you have to deal with. Did you think you were on cruise control? You certainly find out otherwise. Your ability to move

mountains might need to come through. Stay centered. Tonight: Happily head home -- you need a break.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Though you’re likely to hit a bump or two along the way, you will skip right over them and continue on your present path. There might be a persistent, annoying thought in the back of your mind. Do check out its validity, so that you can let go of it. Tonight: Fun and games.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)You might want to figure out what is necessary for you to make a change. Understand that you are dealing with others and their wishes, as well as your finances. Learn to say “no” when a request is not possible for you to meet. Start today. Tonight: Re-evaluate your spending. BORN TODAYActor George Clooney (1961), former U.K. prime minister Tony Blair (1953), singer Lolita Flores (1958) ***

The item removed from the floor of the Fernie Transfer Station by the RCMP Explosives Disposal Unit this afternoon.

A n g e l A T r e h A r n eThe Free Press

The Fernie Transfer Station reopened Saturday following an explosives scare earlier Friday.

“At about 11 a.m. this morn-ing, the staff at the Fernie Trans-fer Station staff discovered what appeared to be sticks of dyna-mite. The RCMP were called im-mediately and their Explosives Disposal Unit was brought in this afternoon to determine whether the material in ques-tion was in fact explosive,” said RDEK Communications Officer Loree Duczek. “Upon investiga-tion, it was determined they were empty cardboard tubes

and contained no explosives.”Highway 3, which had been

closed for much of the day as a precautionary measure has now been reopened and the Fernie Transfer Station will resume reg-ular operating hours tomorrow.

“This is a good reminder for the public to think twice about what they are disposing of. This situation could have been avoid-ed had the person responsible simply informed the staff what they had,” said Duczek. “This package looked very real and we have to take every precaution to protect our staff at the public at our facilities. Not only did this cause an interruption in the op-

eration of the transfer station, it resulted in a highway closure, impacts to neighbouring busi-nesses and significant RCMP re-sources.”

The investigation into how the package came to be left at the Transfer Station will be con-ducted by the RCMP.

“I’d like to thank the Transfer Station staff, Ministry of Trans-portation and the RCMP for their quick response to this inci-dent and the public for their pa-tience as we worked to deter-mine the safety of the scene. You just can’t take chances in cir-cumstances like this,” added Duczek.

HALIFAX — Cere-monies in Halifax, Que-bec City and Ottawa on Sunday helped mark the 70th anniversary of the turning point of one of the most important struggles of Second World War.

Canada played a major role in the Battle of the Atlantic, which lasted virtually the en-tire length of the war.

In Halifax, families of veterans and dignitaries gathered on the deck of HMCS Sackville, a war-ship that was involved in the battle and is now a museum.

They looked on as the ashes of 21 Canadi-an veterans were com-

mitted to the sea outside Halifax Harbour.

Veterans Affairs Min-ister Steven Blaney joined veterans and serving sailors of the Royal Canadian Navy in a ceremony in Quebec City and there was a wreath laying ceremony at the National War Me-morial in Ottawa.

The Battle of the At-lantic was crucial to Al-lied victory because of the importance of keep-ing the sea lanes open to deliver food and war supplies to Great Brit-ain.

Canada’s navy un-derwent a massive ex-pansion to provide es-cort vessels to protect merchant ships against

German submarines.Then British prime

minister Winston Chur-chill said the only thing that really scared him was the U-boat peril.

It wasn’t until 1943, 70 years ago, that Allied forces were able to start to turn the tide of the battle and master the U-boat threat.

“Canadians played a crucial role in defending the North Atlantic, which served as a life-line for Allied Forces during the Second World War,’’ said Blaney in a news release. “Thousands of Canadi-ans served in the Battle of the Atlantic, many giving their lives. They must not be forgotten.’’

Battle of the Atlantic remembered Sunday

VANCOUVER — Three of British Colum-bia’s political parties say they’d support a study into regulating and tax-ing marijuana.

The parties were asked by a group called Stop the Violence whether they’d be in fa-vour of a federally-ap-proved research study into the topic.

The group is a coali-

tion of police, doctors, lawyers, politicians and academics who want to undercut organized crime by legalizing mar-ijuana.

It says the New Dem-ocrats and Green Party of BC didn’t reject the idea of a study, the BC Liberals said they’d seri-ously consider joining in if it was federally initi-ated, but the Conserva-tives failed to reply.

C AnAdiAn Press

OTTAWA — Whistler, B.C., is the winner of this year’s Code of Si-lence Award from the Canadian Association of Journalists.

The annual award meant to highlight Can-ada’s most secretive

government or publicly funded agency. It was handed out Saturday night at the CAJ’s annu-al gala in Ottawa.

The association says that since the 2010 Olympics, municipal of-ficials in the resort com-munity have virtually stifled communications with the media.

It says that according to official policy only three people — the mayor, municipal ad-ministrator and public information officer — can speak for Whistler.

The association says the control over infor-mation exercised in Whistler now rivals that of certain federal de-partments and PR at the most secretive private corporations.

Other nominees for this year’s award includ-ed the Library and Ar-chives Canada for its code of conduct that keeps staff members from speaking at con-ventions, and the muz-zling of government sci-entists by their political masters.

OTTAWA — Some helicop-ters from U.S. President Barack Obama’s cast-off fleet may yet find their way into the service of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

The Canadian Press has learned Defence Minister Peter MacKay recently ordered Na-tional Defence to take another look at whether some of the nine VH-71 aircraft — purchased for spare parts to keep this coun-try’s search-and-rescue chop-

pers flying — can be made fully operational.

MacKay plans to tour the hangar, at IMP Aerospace in Nova Scotia, where the discard-ed presidential fleet has been housed since the Harper gov-ernment spent $164 million to acquire it from the Pentagon.

Both the air force and the department’s material branch have insisted the American heli-copters were only suitable for spares because they do not have

an air worthiness certificate, nor an electronics suite for search and rescue.

But MacKay, in an interview with The Canadian Press, says he’s ordered a review to see what sort of work would be needed to bring as many as four them on to the flight line.

He concedes it might be cost-ly, but it would be cheaper than buying additional CH-148 Cor-morants.

Dear Wendy:I have been quite irritated

for sometime, I think on or about two years now, with my life, my children and my hus-band. I don’t know why I am feeling this way. My husband says I need to get help for my tantrums. I seem to fly off the handle at the most unexpect-ed times. Can you help me or give me some suggestions on what I should do or be doing to help myself. I can’t figure out why I have become this way.

Remaining Anonymous

Dear Remaining Anony-mous:

I hope you realize that not having your last name will not give my guides and me a clear picture of what your issues are. This means we pick up on the energy of a person’s first and last name for good accuracy when we are reading for someone. I hope you also realize that I do not print any-one’s name in the paper or divulge accurate circumstanc-es surrounding that person I am writing about and to in the paper. This means the cir-cumstances of the events are factual but the children’s or person’s sex or age or whatev-er has been modified and changed. However, the facts that we give you are based on the information that you relay to us in your email or letter. Therefore, we will try to help you to the best of our abilities based on the information that we have received from you. If you feel something is not ac-curate or correct then please phone or email me back and I can redo the column for you. This means you need to give me your first and last name.

When I first read your email I felt this sinking famil-iar feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. I then went to my guides and I asked them if this is what your problem is from this emotion that you were emitting to me and they said a definite yes. So, what you need to do is go back two years ago and remember what brought this feeling of irrita-tion into your life. We feel that you lost someone that you loved. We see a female that past over, we do not feel it was your mom but this female may have been in her early 30s or close to 40 years of age. This feeling of irritation you are having is mingled with fear, desperation, loneliness, abandonment and perhaps a tinge of irrational thinking at times. My guides are shaking their heads in confirmation on the accuracy of the emo-tions I am typing to you at this time. This means you have

not emotionally dealt with the death of this person that has passed over in your life. You need to get help for this and then you will feel these emo-tions slowly subside. This does not mean that you will forget this person in your life and there will not be a little piece of your heart that will continually ache for wanting and needing to be and see and talk to this person. Unfor-tunately that never goes away. However, this feeling of irrita-tion will subside and you will be able to handle it emotion-ally and irrationally in your life and the other feelings al-most diminish completely when you deal with the loss of this person you loved.

The reason that I can and know what you are going through is because my mom passed away in March of this year and I was experiencing what you have been experi-encing for two years. It’s easi-er for me in one way because I can and do talk to my mom almost every day. But let me tell you those feelings I felt for almost a month really were terrible. I have never felt that before in my life probably be-cause I never lost someone I really loved before. On the flip side I still miss talking to her and being around her and that’s just normal. I also real-ize that I will eventually see her in heaven one day and that I need to live my life. Death is an awful thing for the living but not the ones that are in heaven; they are truly happy. Some days, I feel like an orphan and probably al-ways will because I miss my mom. However, the reality of life is we live and then we die. So start living and be as happy as you can and do the best that you can for yourself and those around you. If you need to talk this person and see how she is and what she is doing in heaven then give me a call. I feel this will help you on your journey in trying to solve this dilemma of emo-tions that you are having at this time. It certainly helps me and those I have chan-nelled over for.

An occasional snow or drop in temperature does not deter birds from going ahead with preparations for springtime. Bird nesting season is sometimes delayed because of se-vere weather, but birds know that spring is near.

Naturalists visited Elizabeth Lake at the end of April; the first of a series of early morning visits to examine, in detail, the Spring Migration. A sur-prising variety of birds have arrived; some will push on to the North and East while others will find the East Kootenays to be a suitable place to raise their young.

When birds choose a place like Elizabeth Lake to shelter, feed, rest, and perhaps find a mate and make a nest, then we know how valuable it is to conserve and enhance wetlands and surrounding areas. These mi-grating birds are following the Pacif-ic Flyway and some will travel large distances. This flyway extends from Patagonia to Alaska and is a major North-South route. Any given bird species travels roughly the same route every year, at almost the same time. Birders can often predict, to the day, when a particular species will show up in their area. Along the Pacific Flyway, there are many key rest stops where birds of many spe-cies gather, sometimes in the mil-lions, to feed and regain their strength before continuing. Some species may remain in these rest stops for the entire season, but most stay a few days before moving on. The Cranbrook area has many shel-tered pothole lakes which are very attractive for migrating waterfowl, and a wide diversity of forest, grass-land, shoreline and mountain habi-tats which are favourable to other species.

Between now and July, natural-ists expect to observe increasing va-riety of species each week. In partic-ular, the Terns, Hummingbirds, Fly-catchers, Vireos and Warblers will soon arrive. We have ‘set the bar’ rather high this year with a first day tally of over 40 species.

Among the birds feeding on the ground in brushy habitats, sunny clearings and shrublands in your back yard, you may notice a spar-row-like bird but of larger size. The male is black on his head, back, tail and throat. Underneath he is reddish brown and white. The outer tail feathers are white, and show con-spicuously during flight. The female Spotted Towhee is chestnut brown where the male is black; otherwise she is colored like the male. Both are about 8” in length. These ground birds are usually found scratching vigorously in leaf litter for seeds and insects. When scratching, they work both feet simultaneously, jumping up and down energetically, scratch-ing with a wide sweep backward.

The Spotted Towhee nests early in the spring. The nesting site is usu-ally chosen in a wetland or on wood-ed hillsides; old brush piles are fa-vorite places. Few have seen the nest of the Towhee, first: because the nest is cleverly hidden, second: the fe-

male bird blends with her surround-ings, and third: when the nest is ap-proached, the male bird calls the fe-male from the nest. She slips away slyly and by the time she is seen, she is safely away from the nest. If the incubation is in process, the female cannot afford to leave the warm eggs to exposure. Then too, the male bird is likely to have wandered off for food.

Walking along in the saskatoon patches, pine needles and dried grass, one is likely to be startled by some creature crawling along the ground, like a rat dragging some-thing. It is the female Towhee, drag-ging her wings, feigning decrepitude! Look at the place she started from, and there on the ground you will find a neat nest of grass. The nest is usually sunken in a cavity so that the rim is even with the surface of the ground. Three or sometimes 4 eggs will be found in the nest; they are dull white, speckled with light brown.

The male is a sweet singer and early in the morning or late in the afternoon he sits on a favorite perch and sings his tremulous song, “tow-hee-e-e “, or “see-tow-hee-e-e”, end-ing in a trill. Early in the breeding season, male Spotted Towhees spend their mornings singing their hearts out, trying to attract a mate. They have been recorded spending 70 – 90% of their mornings singing. Almost as soon as they attract a mate, their attention shifts to other things, and they spend only 5% of their time singing.

If you visit Elizabeth Lake in the next week or 2, check the shallow ‘lagoon’ just East of the new weir. You may be fortunate to see the striking Black-necked Stilt, a black and white shorebird with very long, thin, red legs. It is likely to have mi-grated from extreme southern US or Central America.

Join Rocky Mountain Naturalists at 7 AM on Tuesday mornings by the Visitor Centre. Dress warmly and bring binoculars, a guide book and scope if you can. We wander along the trails slowly and quietly, so if

you’re a bit late, you can find us eas-ily. Experienced birders will guide the group and help with identifica-tion. However, the more of us look-ing in all directions will certainly bolster the species count. Expect to explore the various habitats for up to 3 hours, it’s quite a large, rich place.

SALT LAKE CITY — It was the biggest bee-hive that that Ogden beekeeper Vic Bach-man has ever removed — a dozen feet long, packed inside the eve of a cabin in Ogden Valley.

“We figure we got 15 pounds of bees out of there,’’ said Bachman, who said that converts to about 60,000 honey-bees.

Bachman was called to the A-frame cabin last month in Eden, Utah. Taking apart a panel that hid roof raf-ters, he had no idea he would find honey-combs packed 12 feet long, 4 feet wide and 16 inches deep.

The honeybees had been making the en-closed cavity their home since 1996, hardly both-ering the homeowners. The cabin was rarely used, but when the owners needed to occu-py it while building an-other home nearby, they decided the bee-

hive wasn’t safe for their two children. A few bees had found their way in-side the house, and the hive was just outside a window of a children’s bedroom.

They didn’t want to kill the honeybees, a species in decline that does yeoman’s work pollinating flowers and crops.

So they called Bach-man, owner of Deseret Hive Supply, a hobbyist store that can’t keep up with demand for hon-eybees. Bachman used a vacuum cleaner to suck the bees into a cage.

“It doesn’t hurt them,’’ he said.

The job took six hours. At $100 an hour, the bill came to $600.

“The bees were ex-pensive,’’ said Paul Bertagnolli, the cabin owner. He was satisfied with the job.

Utah calls itself the Beehive state, a symbol of industriousness. Whether this was Utah’s largest beehive is un-

known, but Bachman said it would rank high.

“It’s the biggest one I’ve ever seen,’’ he said. “I’ve never seen one that big.’’

He used smoke to pacify the bees, but Bertagnolli said honey-bees are gentle crea-tures unlike predatory yellow jackets or hor-nets, which attack, rip apart and eat honey-bees, he said.

“They just want to collect nectar and come back to the hive,’’ he said. “Most people never get stung by hon-eybees — it’s a yellow jacket.’’

Bertagnolli reassem-bled the hive in a yard of his North Ogden home, while saving some of the honeycomb for can-dles and lotions at his store. He left other hon-eycombs for the cabin owners to chew on.

“We caught the queen and were able to keep her,’’ Bertagnolli said. “The hive is in my backyard right now and is doing well.’’

A S S O C I AT E D P R E S SMEXICO CITY — Mexican President

Enrique Pena Nieto is commemorating Cinco de Mayo by urging his country-men to tackle current problems with the same “unity and commitment’’ that de-feated the French 151 years ago.

Pena Nieto says the holiday celebrates principles that, in his words, “encourage

the political forces and federal govern-ment to pursue a transformative reform agenda that the country demands and needs.’’

Cinco de Mayo marks the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, when Mexican troops defeated a French army of Napo-leon III, then considered the mightiest

military in the world.The anniversary was marked Sunday

with a military parade in the city of Pueb-la, where the battle took place. It is con-sidered a bigger holiday in the U.S., cele-brating Mexican heritage with parades and revelry in many major cities.

AMHERST, N.H. — A U.S. auction house will soon accept bids on space and aviation arti-facts, including an elec-trocardiogram of Apol-lo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong’s heartbeat taken when he first set foot on the moon.

Amherst, New Hampshire-based RR Auction will take bids on the EKG recording and other artifacts during an online auc-tion from May 16 through May 23.

Other artifacts in-clude the joystick con-

troller operated by Apollo 11 astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Mi-chael Collins in the Apollo 11 command module.

Auction officials say over 85 lots of Apollo 11 material will be fea-tured in the auction.

Armstrong took his “giant step for man-kind’’ on July 20, 1969. Buzz Aldrin later joined him on the moon’s sur-face.

Armstrong, an Ohio native, died in August at age 82.
