A local organization — Community Connections Society — has been chosen to deliver a new program, which will provide Cran-brook seniors with

non-medical home support.The provincially-funded

Better at Home program provides these services in more than 60 B.C. commu-nities.

The United Way de-signed the Better at Home

program, with the goal of supporting local non-profit agencies in coordinating the delivery of such services as housekeeping, shopping and friendly visiting.

On Thursday, April 4, the Cranbrook and Kimber-

ley United Way hosted a public input session on Better at Home, with the ultimate goal of choosing an organization to deliver the service.

Debbie Sharp, with the United Way of the Lower

Mainland, and Field Coor-dinator for the Better at Home program, who was in town to help facilitate the event, praised the work of local community develop-ers Sandra Davis and Pat Wray for getting the pro-

gram off the ground in Cran-brook, and collecting infor-mation and surveys to help determine the precise need locally.

Jeanne Davidson of the Cranbrook Kimber-ley Hospice Society has been named Volunteer of the Year.

The long-time com-munity volunteer was recognized during the annual Volunteer Ap-preciation and Awards Gala on Friday, April 12 at the Pavilion at St. Eu-gene Golf Resort and Casino.

More than 200 vol-unteers attended the gala, organized each year by Volunteer Koo-tenays and Canadian Mental Health Associa-tion – Kootenays to rec-ognize the hours of hard work volunteers con-tribute to Cranbrook and Kimberley.

Bill Hughes of Inves-tors Group, the event’s premier sponsor, pre-sented the Volunteer of the Year award to Jeanne.

“Jeanne’s generous spirit and love for the community knows no bounds,” he said.

Jeanne has volun-teered with the Hospice Society since 2009, as well as volunteer roles with the Columbia Basin Alliance for Liter-acy and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cranbrook.

“I am humbled by the honour bestowed on me today,” she said in accepting the award to a standing ovation. “I feel a little overwhelmed by the gratitude.”

She passed on that gratitude to her col-leagues.

“Thank you to the volunteers,” she said. “They are the ones who contribute their time and passion. They are the ones who keep the pulse of the organiza-tion beating.”

The Family Volun-teer of the Year award went to the Beaulac family: Shauna and John and their children, Jazmine, 12, and Robby, 10.

The younger Beau-lacs accepted the award, which was sponsored by

Medichair Kootenay Boundary.

The Beaulac family are long time volun-teers for numerous community organiza-tions, but in particular they dedicate many hours to Fort Steele Heritage Town.

Jazmine read a speech written by her mother, who was out of town and couldn’t at-tend the gala.

“We volunteer as a family and it makes it more special because family is all about spending time together,” Shauna wrote in the speech. “Our kids have been volunteering since the age of two, before they could say a word. If you start your kids at a young age, they don’t know any different; it’s just a part of life.”

In the Youth Volun-teer category, spon-sored by BC Hydro, 16-year-old Danika Reid received the award.

Danika has been vol-unteering from a young age; she contributes around 30 hours a month for multiple community groups, in-cluding Columbia Basin Trust Youth Advisory Council, Mount Baker Interact and Wild Start Breakfast.

“It is an honour to receive the award,” Dan-ika said. “Volunteering is really important to me. It’s something one does without seeking recognition, so getting this recognition is very special and a great feel-ing.”

The Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary was named Group Vol-unteer of the Year in the category sponsored by Cranbrook Dodge. Since 2000, the auxiliary has raised $4 million for the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

President Rachel Christie accepted the award on behalf of the auxiliary, who were each bedecked in fasci-nators at the gala.

“It is an honour and a privilege for me to ac-

Cranbrook and Kimberley say thanks to volunteersJeanne Davidson, Beaulac family, Danika Reid and Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary have been honoured with volunteer awards

cept this award on be-half of the hard-work-ing, dedicated volun-teers of the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary,” she said.

Twenty-five volun-teer organizations were represented at the gala:

Big Brothers Big Sisters; Bud Abbott and friends; Columbia Basin Trust; Columbia Valley Hos-pice Society; Cranbrook Alliance Church; Cran-brook Food Bank Soci-ety; Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary; Cran-

brook Kimberley Hos-pice Society; Cranbrook Kin Club; Cranbrook Search and Rescue; East Kootenay Community Credit Union; Friends of the Cranbrook Public Library; Juvenile Diabe-tes Association; Key City

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.

It is estimated that up to 26% of menstruating women are iron de� cient.Women of childbearing age and adolescent girls need to regularly replace the iron that is eliminated through monthly blood loss.

St. Mary’s Catholic School will soon be get-ting a big upgrade to its computers, thanks to a sizeable donation from the school’s parent sup-port group.

The $25,000 dona-tion will buy 26 new state-of-the-art touch-screen devices. The par-ent support group, made up of volunteer parents, has been rais-ing funds for the past two years and reached the goal of providing funding for the new lab this year.

Erika Wood is co-chair of the parent sup-port group, and so had a big hand in organizing this year’s fundraising, along with fellow chair Cathy Newsome. Wood said the group has put on weekly walk-a-thons and fun lunches to raise the money. They’ve also done some one-off

events, like an art revival auction, heritage food sale and an upcoming Mother’s Day tea towel sale. Wood explained that for the tea towel sale, students of the school painted self-por-traits that were imprint-ed on the towels.

“That’s the kind of stuff that we’ve been doing,” she said.

Wood said that since St. Mary’s is an indepen-dent school and funded differently than public schools, it doesn’t have the money to upgrade all of its computers at once. Instead, the par-ent group took it upon itself to raise the money to purchase new com-puters.

“There often isn’t one thing that will serve the whole student body, but all the students ben-efit from it,” she said.

The parents are made up of a core group of twelve, with others

St. Mary’s Catholic School Parent Support Group members smile as they announce a donation of a new laptop computer lab worth over $25,000 to St. Mary’s School. The parent group has worked to raise funds for many years to make this happen.

St. Mary’s receives $25,000 donation for new computers

helping out.“They are really

happy to participate and co-ordinate these events and it’s just an amazing team,” she said. “It’s been a contribution of a

lot of people.”The weekly lunch

program is in itself quite an operation.

“First of all, you have to plan the menu and have the parents order it, some of it is catered

and some of it is cooked in-house,” she said. “On those cooking days it’s a really busy kitchen. It’s been really fun and I think we just kept our eyes on the prize to do something really sub-

stantial.”The money will get

the school new laptops, along with software.

The new computers have been purchased, but the date for installa-tion is not yet known, as

the computer sciences teacher will be doing the installation as time al-lows.

The likely date stu-dents will be able to log on to the new laptops is September.

“I have been very im-pressed with the level of community and stake-holder engagement in the Better at Home pro-cess in Cranbrook,” Sharp said in a release Friday.

“I think that Sandra Davis and Pat Wray have done some magnificent work to mobilize and engage the community around seniors’ issues, and have developed a worthwhile body of knowledge regarding assets and service prior-ities for non-medical home support services in the community.

“I also want to ac-knowledge the great work done by Donna Brady Fields, Executive Director, United Way of Cranbrook and Kimber-ley, in supporting the process since Cran-brook was announced as a potential site in September last year,” Sharp added.

Sharp said that fol-lowing the input re-ceived during extensive

discussion with seniors and other community members, as well as dia-logues with various key stakeholders working with and serving se-niors, comprehensive overviews were devel-oped of community as-sets, non-medical home support service needs and priorities, and crite-ria for a lead organiza-tion.

“Using this informa-tion and community di-alogues, Community Connections Society of Southeast BC has emerged as the organi-zation that will deliver Better at Home in Cran-brook,” Sharp said.

“We really appreciate the engagement of all of the potential lead orga-nizations and thank them for their invalu-able contributions.”

Community Con-nections Society of Southeast BC will use the community devel-opers’ report and sup-port from the United Way to complete the

“We anticipate the Cranbrook Better at Home site will receive funding starting July,” Sharp said.

“Program planning will take place in the months following, with service delivery antici-pated later this year.

“The Better at Home Provincial Office is ex-cited that the Better at Home program will be coming to Cranbrook and we look forward to providing support to Community Connec-tions Society of South-east BC and the com-munity to help seniors remain independent,” Sharp said.

Keeping your child’s baby teeth healthy and strong is important to their oral and overall health and develop-ment. Baby teeth begin to appear around 6 months and can last until a child is 13 or 14. They are an impor-tant part of your child’s nutri-tion, speech development, self-confidence and play a significant role in the place-ment of permanent adult teeth. Without proper care and attention children can suf-fer from dental decay (cavi-ties). Decay is caused when sugars in the mouth mix with plaque bacteria to create an acid that can destroy tooth enamel. The longer sugar is in the mouth, the more acid is produced, increasing the risk of cavities. Dental decay is painful—it can lead to infection and tooth loss. Children with dental disease may also have trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating and suffer emotional distress—feeling bad about the way they look. Dental disease is not always recognizable. Pain is usually a sign there is a problem but very young children are not able to explain when they are in pain.

The good news is that dental disease is preventable. Establishing healthy habits from an early age, includ-ing regular dental exams, can start your child on the path to good oral health. Remember, children learn by example: if you look after your own teeth and gums, your children will too.

Set your child up for good dental health:

• Caringforthemouthstartsearly. Begin by cleaning your baby’s mouth using a wet cloth and gently wiping the gums to remove any left-over milk or formula from the mouth.

• Brush your child’s teethas soon as the first tooth appears and make sure you lift the lip to brush along the gum line. Young children cannot clean their own teeth. Brush for them when they are very young and with them as they grow older.

• Use a soft toothbrush. Choose an appropriate size for the age of the child.

• Make brushing fun and develop a routine: brush at a specific time (after a bath or before a book); in a specific location (mom’s knee); or with specific cues (music, counting).

• Use a small amount of fluoride toothpaste to protect the teeth from cavities. Children under the age of 3 should only use a smear (size of a grain of rice) while those over 3 can use a pea-sized amount. Encourage your children to spit out the toothpaste.

• Cavity-causing bacteria can transfer from your mouth to your child’s. Avoid sharing soothers, toothbrushes or other items with your child.

• Regardless of age, dis-courage grazing on sugary foods and drinks throughout the day or overnight. For instance, constant and slow sipping on milk-filled bottles or sippy cups with juice, keeps sugars in the mouth and can lead to cavities—fill them with water instead.

• Choose healthy snacks such as cheese, fruit or nuts. What’s good for the body is good for the mouth.

• The earlier a dental problem is found, the easier it is to fix. Check your child’s mouth and visit the dentist regularly.

• Lookinyourchild’smouth for signs of disease such as brown or yellow spots on the teeth. Other signs that your child may be suffering from dental disease include: trouble sleeping; difficulty concentrating; and avoiding certain foods, such as cold drinks and foods.

• The first dental visitshould take place by age one or within six months of when you see the first tooth. Through regular examinations your dentist will monitor the development of your child’s teeth and gums to catch problems early and prevent disease. Starting dental visits early can also improve your child’s comfort with visiting the dentist.

Baby teeth are important too

Healthy teeth and gums are important for your child’s health and well-being. Establish healthy habits early to set your child up for a lifetime of good dental health.

For more ways to help your child benefit from good dental health, talk to your dentist or visit www.bcdental.org.

C anadian PressOTTAWA — Justin Trudeau

has been elected to lead the fed-eral Liberal party in a resounding first-ballot win.

Trudeau, eldest son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau and the Liberals’ undisputed star, swept 80 per cent of the vote in a final field of six candidates.

Despite the foregone conclu-sion of Trudeau’s coronation, a

downtown Ottawa hotel was packed with hundreds of Liberal supporters who cheered former prime minister Jean Chretien’s speech about the “next genera-tion of Liberal party leadership’’ before the tally was made public.

The buzz around Trudeau, 41, has lifted Liberals off the mat after the party suffered its worst electoral defeat ever in 2011.

Polls suggest Trudeau appears

to be confounding predictions of a polarized, two-way election fight in 2015 between Tom Mul-cair’s NDP and Stephen Harper’s Conservatives.

Liberal MP Joyce Murray, whose leadership platform in-cluded co-operating with New Democrats and Greens to unseat Harper, finished a very distant second behind Trudeau with 10 per cent of the vote.

They were just one of almost 3,000 bands across the country to enter CBC Music’s Searchlight contest back in February.

On Friday, Cran-brook’s The Good Ol’ Goats reached the end of their Searchlight jour-ney as runners up in the hunt for Canada’s best new artists.

Their final competi-tion, Sherman Downey and the Ambiguous Case, won the contest. The band from Corner Brook, Newfoundland, is managed by Bob Hal-lett, one of the founding members of Great Big Sea, and has played at the Vancouver Olym-pics and the Juno awards.

The final results of the contest were an-nounced by CBC pre-senter Jian Ghomeshi on Q on Friday morn-ing.

MICHAEL DEN TANDT

Canadian politics today is deeply po-larized, we are often told, with the New Democrats straddling the cen-

tre-left, the Conservatives the centre-right, and the woebegone Liberals sandwiched somewhere in a rapidly vanishing, mushy middle.

The thesis, best articulated by John Ib-bitson and Darrell Bricker in their fine new book, “The Big Shift,” is that liberalism and Liberalism are history, because sentiment among the great mass of Canadians has shifted inexorably rightward. Bricker and Ibbitson posit a century of Conservative or conservative-minded rule, with other par-ties occasionally seizing power, but only temporarily, after which there’s a speedy return to status quo ante. Stephen Harper, by this argument, has achieved his life’s ambition of putting Conservatives where the Liberal party once sat, as the natural governing party.

It will be interesting to watch as this re-ceived wisdom gets un-received, and ob-servers across the board — including, I suspect, my friends Bricker and Ibbit-son — adjust their positions to reflect the changing reality on the ground, wrought by Justin Trudeau and his team of 30- and 40-something subversives. Indeed, that process has already begun. Recent polls showing Trudeau could win a majority, if an election were held today, are the very tip of the iceberg. Polls can be discounted. The underlying trend, not so much.

Consider that, at his party’s policy con-vention this weekend past in Montreal, NDP leader Tom Mulcair was to receive a close shave and a haircut, albeit meta-phorically. A new promotional video will surfaced Friday in which Mulcair, The Family Man, is presented in hues of gold and amber. It will be a side of The Grizzly

we haven’t seen before, writes Althia Raj in the Huffington Post. Why is this happening now? Apparently Canadians, after a year of seeing Mulcair in action, don’t know him.

Translation: Justin Trudeau is a likeable politician preaching hard work and hope, both likeable qualities. If the NDP are to hold Quebec, Mulcair also must be like-able. It really is that simple. In effect, the 18-month-old narrative of Mulcair as the anti-Harper who kicks low, fast and hard, is being supplanted by a new narrative: The anti-Trudeau, Mulcair The Charming. It is a tacit admission by the NDP that the battle of Quebec is on, and that Harper is no longer its main adversary. Intriguingly, this happened even before Trudeau was officially made Liberal leader.

The next shoe to drop will be the reboot of the government itself, in the form of a cabinet shuffle, in late spring or early sum-mer. That will move attractive young peo-ple, many of them women, into more prominent positions in the Harper cabinet. This is, of course, no great revelation: It has been in the works for months and would have happened anyway, regardless of Lib-eral leadership politics.

But the inflection of this shuffle, with Trudeau in the game, will be something new. We can expect a premium on, shock-ingly, Red Tory-style moderation, com-mon sense and humility. This will be easy enough to effect, since the prominent women in Harper’s caucus — including cabinet ministers Diane Finley and Rona Ambrose, and rising stars Michelle Rem-pel, Kellie Leitch and Candice Bergen — have acquitted themselves well in the past couple of years, avoiding the partisan mash-ups of, say, Vic Toews or Julian Fan-tino.

But we can expect that Harper himself will also attempt to soften his image. Like

Mulcair, the prime minister has grown ac-customed to a political landscape in which being liked didn’t matter so much. Be-cause political branding is about putting the best shine on the assets you have, Harper’s branding has stressed stolidity, dependability and a dour utilitarianism. He doesn’t enjoy, clearly, the back-slap-ping, hand-shaking, baby-kissing aspect of politics. Nor does he like speaking to the media. This summer, I’m betting, he will acquire a new affection for both.

Can’t Harper simply make mincemeat of the callow snowboarding instructor, with a series of nasty ads? Maybe. But there’s a risk now the Conservatives hav-en’t faced before. Trudeau has for months been framing both Harper and Mulcair as negative, and himself as sunnily positive. If the attacks are too harshly negative, too soon, there’s a risk they’ll actually reinforce Trudeau’s message. More likely, therefore, is that the Conservatives keep some pow-der dry and wait for Trudeau to stumble. Then they’ll pounce.

Now, here’s the curious thing about all this: The point of convergence or battle-ground, where both Mulcair and Harper are moving to meet the Trudeau threat, is the moderate middle. The centre, which supposedly no longer exists, is about to become the crowded country kitchen of three political parties — or four, if we in-clude the Greens. It’s difficult to discern, here, the death of moderation, or of liber-alism, or of Liberalism.

“Ah, but it’s all because of Trudeau,” some will say, “because he’s likeable.” To which I have this response: Perhaps. But who decided, and when, that likeability was no longer a factor in politics?

Re: Political ads by United Steelworkers in local newspapers

I couldn’t help but notice recent attack ads by the United Steelworkers Union in local newspapers slagging Bill Bennett and the Christy Clark Government. It is ironic that a union so closely associated with the mining industry would even consider at-tacking the BC Liberals given their positive track record with relation to the mining industry, one of B.C.s most important job and revenue generators.

As a geologist and business leader, I have been directly involved with mining and the mineral exploration industry in British Columbia for over 25 years and can confirm that mining in B.C. under an NDP government has suffered in the past, and in all likelihood, would do so again. The NDP chased mining to South America the last time they were in government. B.C. lost 5,000 mining jobs and 36 per cent of the industry disappeared because of the mining-unfriendly policies of the NDP. A Fraser Institute survey released in 2001 (the year Bill Bennett and the BC Liberals were elected), revealed that B.C. under an NDP government rated last for “Govern-ment Policy Relating to Mining” in all 45 global jurisdictions surveyed, this despite being rated 6th in the world for “Overall Mineral Potential”. Today, after 12 years of positive policies, mineral exploration spending hit $463 million, compared to just $29 million in 2001. New mines are now opening in B.C., creating high-paying jobs to support families.

At recent mining industry conferences I have attended, there is a palpable fear that the dark days of mining in B.C. could re-turn should the NDP form a stronghold in government. I would suggest that all indi-viduals, union or otherwise, who rely on mining and mineral exploration in B.C. keep this in mind as they head to the polls next month.

Tim J Termuende, P.Geo.Cranbrook

Mining FutureI wonder who the United Steelworkers

are trying to help with their ugly, personal attack on Bill Bennett in your newspaper. It certainly isn’t coal mine workers. Over his time as our MLA, Bill has fought relentless-ly for coal miners, their industry and their jobs, against an urban legislature and urban media that doesn’t have a clue about the enormous benefits from the in-dustry. When Bill was first elected, he handwrapped 79 pieces of coal from Ford-ing River in red and gave one to each MLA in the Legislature at Christmas to raise the profile of coal mining. Many MLAs didn’t even know B.C. had a coal industry.

He has spoken dozens of times in the legislature and through the media in sup-port of coal mining. Bill Bennett is also our best hope to avoid the complete shut-down of the industry by the environmen-talists, due to the very real selenium chal-lenge. Selenium levels can be reduced by Teck Coal if government doesn’t force the company out of business by demanding unrealistic actions. The NDP has proven they are no friend of mining. As a 4th gen-eration Wilson working in the Elk Valley coal industry, I say to these union leaders — give your heads a shake. Instead of using your members’ money to attack the most effective champion coal miners have ever had, you should make smarter use of your members’ hard-earned money and donate to Bill Bennett’s campaign.

George WilsonFernie

To and FroLois Dettling’s letter of April 8, 2013,

falsely accuses me of attacking the B.C. Liberal government’s record on the econo-my.

The title of my letter was “Running from or for the Liberals,” and the point of my letter was that Mr. Bennett’s ads had no party identification. Rather than deal with my letter, Ms. Dettling races into a litany of misinformation portending to show how the Liberals have made B.C. into the eco-nomic bastion of the world. None of her repeated fiction ever has been found to be true.

First Fact: Google “equalization pay-ments” to see which governments in B.C. were receiving “poor” province welfare from Ottawa. From 1994 to 1999, under the NDP, nothing was paid. Zero. In 2003-04, Campbell’s Liberal government received equalization payments of $332 million. In 2004-05, it was $824 million. [Government of Canada, Department of Finance, Table A6-1, Equalization Entitlements] So much for Ms. Dettling’s and Mr. Bennett’s claim of a “have-not” province under the NDP.

Second Fact: Gordon Campbell set up a Progress Board in 2002 to report on how the government was doing. Using Progress Board data, columnist Paul Willcocks pointed out: “Liberal decade average at best, say its own reports” (Townsman, Feb. 14, 2011); and “Progress Board gives Liber-als a poor grade,” (Townsman, Dec. 30, 2011). Then there’s Don Cayo in the Van-couver Sun (Dec. 30, 2011): “Study meant to measure progress finds B.C. falling be-hind.”

Third Fact: Ms. Dettling lists B.C. as having the lowest personal income tax in Canada. When I lived in the southern U.S., I never saw Mississippi bragging that it had the lowest income tax in the country. Highest rates of child poverty are the re-sults there and here.

There are other chilling realities, and I quote Mr. Bennett: “Those of us who have a home, three square meals every day and a warm bed don’t always understand how many people in our community lack these basics.” (“Gearing up for Election 2013,” Townsman, April 9, 2013)

William G. HillsCranbrook

To and FroSome weeks ago MLA Bennett an-

nounced the acquisition by his govern-ment of Dr. Timothy O’Neill, an economist of rare talent and sterling reputation.

His task was to provide comment and observation on how well the BC Liberals have governed our province. Nothing has been heard from him since.

However, Ms. Dettling’s back-to-the-Naughty-Nineties letter of last week has suggested a resurrection, not of Dr. Timo-thy O’Neill, but of just plain Tim O’Neill who, as chief economist for the Bank of Montreal, commented on March 15, 2001:

“Under the NDP [1991 – 2001] British Columbia has a lot going for it … B.C. now has the most transparent and comprehen-sive reporting of any province. B.C. has the lowest income tax rate for small business in the country. It has the second lowest marginal tax rate for low income earners among the provinces and third lowest for middle income earners. It has the second lowest debt/GDP rate in the country and offers a comprehensive, well-funded set of health, education and social services.”

Much more unpalatable than Ms. Det-tling’s unsubstantiated vapourings, how-ever, were Mr. Fennell’s comments on the Bennett “He’s one of us” newspaper ads.

A civil, democratic, inclusive society

like ours requires sensible and rational political discourse. It needs the recogni-tion that, within that society there are many shades of opinion and philosophy. These are sifted through by the political process: some are then accepted, some discarded.

“He’s one of us”, no matter how you cut it, doesn’t only discard ideas. It discards people.

It excludes and divides, just as the Tea Party polemic has confounded and split the American body politic.

It encompasses the sort of fear-mon-gering in which Mr. Bennett is currently engaged in Elkford, Sparwood and Fernie and where, talking of political divisiveness, he advertises himself as “MLA for the Elk Valley”.

My wife has lived in this delightful cor-ner of B.C. all her life. I have lived here for 45 years. This is where we worked and this is where we raised our family.

For Mr. Fennell, and therefore Mr. Ben-nett, now to suggest that, because our pol-itics and social priorities differ from theirs we are somehow not part of Kootenay East is, quite frankly, impudent and insulting.

Dog controlThere is a new program called the

“Yellow Ribbon Project” — any person who has a dog, of any size, who has some sort of problem, be it that he’s scared, nervous, sick, in training — a Yellow Rib-bon tied to the dog’s leash is a request to stay clear for whatever reason (check out theyellowribbonproject.com).

Think of it: You are walking your small dog, on leash. All of a sudden, this big dog comes running up, straight at you and your small dog. Seeing this dog running at you, your dog is startled, he senses your sudden burst of fear, and he goes into self-defence mode, preparing for an at-tack. Which teaches him to be on guard in public, thus teaching him how and where to be mean. Or his training is ruined for the day. No dog can be trained properly when they and their owner are constantly watching what others and their dogs are doing. He may be being trained as a good citizen, or they could be working on a service dog — if training is always inter-rupted to prevent an altercation, the training will never work.

No matter what it is, that dog is run-ning “at large.” And if people feel their or their dog’s safety is at risk, they have the legal right to defend themselves against what they may see as an attack. And the at-large dog owners are liable for damag-es.

“Care and Control” means that you are in control of your dog. The only cer-tain way is if your dog is controlled by a leash, ensuring your dog can go no fur-ther than the length of that leash. “Con-trol” means physical control, making it impossible for the dog to leave your side. Anything else and your dog is legally, “running at large.”

In Cranbrook, any time your dog is not physically contained on your property, (Animal Control Bylaw 3555 B), he must be attached to you by a leash, no longer than three metres (a “long line” is fine, as long as you bring the dog back in when someone approaches). And when your dog does his “business” you are legally bound to pick it up and dispose of it.

Please, leash and control your dog in public, and pick up after him. It’s not only the law, it’s just plain good manners.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

The Cranbrook Curl-ing Centre was a hub of boxing activity over the weekend, as athletes from across Western Canada braved the weekend snowstorm to put on a show for the B.C. Golden Gloves tour-nament.

The event featured 15 bouts spread out be-tween Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon, and included six boxers on the card that repre-sented the Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club.

The tournament was able to attract fighters for 15 bouts, but also com-peted with the Montana State championships, which were held on the same weekend and pre-vented more athletes from coming in.

“Boxing B.C. is in a rebuilding kind of year, just like hockey teams and baseball go through,” said Eagles Club boxing coach Tom White. “We are really in a rebuilding state, but we have a lot of young fighters that are up-and-comers, so it was a big deal for us to get

this.”White himself even

stepped in the ring for an exhibition match against George Sanders, who will be competing in the Master’s division at the World Championships in August.

White explained how he ended up in the ring.

“About three weeks ago, Mickey, our old coach here at Cranbrook Eagles—who coached me from when I was a kid—he said, ‘Listen, I got a guy going to the Master’s Worlds in Kan-sas City, Missouri, in Au-gust,’ in my weight class—126 pounds.

“He says, ‘Do you mind fighting him in your card?,’ so right away, I said ‘Absolutely’.”

Being that it was an exhibition match, no winner was declared, but the crowd was treated to a technical showcase as White and Sanders drew on their experience throughout three one-minute rounds.

“It’s always fun,” said White. “I love it.”

Of the six local boxers with the Eagles Club, two fought in their very first

matches, while another came out of relative re-tirement for an exhibi-tion bout.

Phoenix Larsen stepped into the ring for the very first time, but dropped his match to Thomas Gordon out of the Sunshine Boxing Academy in Saskatche-wan.

Ashton Brock also got into the ring for the very first time with two bouts over the two days, win-ning them both against Jarret Gordon, represent-ing the Sunshine Boxing Academy.

“It feels really good, especially being at the Golden Gloves, for first

fights,” said Brock. “…In front of a home crowd was so much better, you got all your friends there, your parents, it’s nice.”

Brock, 14, has been boxing with the Eagles Club for only five months.

While Brock won his first fight with a unani-mous decision, the re-match was a little closer the following day.

“I knew that the sec-ond fight, he’d come out stronger, because he lost the first fight, so I knew he’d come out trying to win,” Brock added.

Dylan Clarke, another Eagles Club member, came out with a win and a loss against Logan Goodwill over the week-end. Clarke won the first match with a 3-2 split de-cision, but the ref had to step in and stop the fight in favour of Goodwill in the rematch.

“You get kids that have been in there for two years and they can’t get the technique down,” said White. “You get guys like Dylan (Clarke) and Ashton (Brock), who just naturally pick it up right away, they have good

movement.“It’s unbelievable, it’s

rare to find a heavy-weight at 14 years old, and to find him an oppo-nent, so the two of these guys battling it out this weekend was amazing.”

Gage Duthie, also representing the Eagles Club, got into a war with Nick Abboud, who fought out of the Cougar Boxing Club out of Ed-monton, however, the Albertan fighter took the match with a 3-2 split de-cision.

Coming out of semi-retirement was local fighter Colin Adams, a former B.C. champion and bronze medalist at Canadian na-tionals, who fought Shin-go Yokomoto out of This-tletown Boxing Club in Kelowna.

Being an exhibition match, the judges didn’t render a decision, but the two but on a good show.

The Sunshine Boxing Academy picked up the award for best club, while Sasan Haghighat-Joo, who came in from Maple Ridge, earned the B.C. Golden Boy award.

B.C. Golden Gloves tournament featured athletes from across Western Canada

Reinhart named captain for national U18 teamSam Reinhart has been named captain of the

national men’s U18 squad that will be competing in the IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championship in Sochi, Russia.

The announcement was made by Team Canada coach Don Hay before their pre-tournament game against the U.S. on Sunday, which ended with a 4-1 loss.

Reinhart isn’t a stranger to captaining a national team—the young Kootenay Ice sniper wore the “C” for Canada at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tourna-ment in the Czech Republic last August.

Reinhart also made the roster for the same team in April last year, helping the squad towards a bronze medal with an overtime victory over Fin-land.

The Kootenay Ice forward tallied 85 points this past season, with 35 goals and 50 assists. At the con-clusion of the WHL campaign, he also picked up the captaincy mantle for the next season.

Team Canada opens the tournament with a game against Slovakia, and also face Germany Swit-zerland and Sweden in Group B preliminary round play.

Lakers trainer Gary Vitti thinks Bryant will need six to nine months for recovery from the most seri-ous injury of his 17-year NBA career. Given Bryant’s history of swift recovery from countless minor inju-ries, Vitti and Lakers general manager Mitch Kup-chak both believe the 34-year-old guard could be back for their season opener in the fall.

Bryant completely tore his left Achilles tendon late in the Lakers’ 118-116 win over Golden State on Friday night, falling to the hardwood after pushing off his planted foot in an ordinary move toward the hoop. Although he stayed in the game to hit two tying free throws with 3:08 to play, Bryant’s season was over.

Bryant’s foot will be immobilized for about a month to prevent him from stretching out the ten-don, followed by a lengthy rehabilitation process. Nobody knows how the injury will affect Bryant’s play, but his decision to have surgery less than 24 hours after getting hurt suggests he’s determined to get back on top swiftly.

Reyes likely out until All-Star break with sprained ankle

AssociAted Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes likely will be side-lined until the All-Star break because of a se-verely sprained left ankle.

Ten games into his Toronto Blue Jays ca-reer, Reyes was injured during an awkward slide into second base during Friday night’s 8-4 win over the Kansas City Royals.

“It is frustrating. I love baseball so much,” Reyes said. “I love to be with my teammates on the field and helping my ballclub. Now I know I’m not going to be there for a little while. It’s kind of disappointing for me. I’ve been through some injuries in my career. I don’t like that. Injuries are part of the game and I have to deal with it.”

Reyes, a four-time All-Star, was carted off the field Friday and placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday.

“A MRI came back, no fracture, but it’s a se-vere sprain,” Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said. “Right now, it looks like it will be three months, and that’s just getting to the point that he’s back in a big league game. It could be six to eight week of rest and rehab.”

Reyes, acquired from Miami during the off-season after one sea-son with the Marlins, is hitting .395 and led the major leagues with five stolen bases. He was on crutches in the Blue Jays clubhouse.

“We’ll wait for swell-

ing to subside, and probably in five to six days get another MRI just to make sure there isn’t anything they missed,” Anthopoulos said. “The biggest thing is there is going to be no surgery at this point. The next MRI will con-firm all of that. We’re not really out of the woods entirely, but again off of what the doctors have said, they feel pretty confident they have a pretty good read on it.”

Reyes knew right away that the injury probably was severe.

“I heard something pop in my ankle. I know from the beginning that I did something that’s not right there,” he said. “I was in pain right away. It’s kind of disap-pointing because I don’t know how that happens so fast. I have to deal with this one more time. The same thing hap-pened in 2003 in New York.”

Reyes said he was too close to the base when he started his slide on the stolen base.

“When I looked up to see the base, the base was right next to me,” Reyes said. “At that time, I didn’t know what to do. I tried to go feet first. I never go feet first. When I steal, I always go feet fast. Everything happened so quick.

Toronto selected the contract of shortstop Munenori Kawasaki from Triple-A Buffalo. Kawasaki, down to bat ninth Saturday against the Royals, hit .192 in 61 games last season with Seattle.

BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM: Mount Baker Wild defender Erin White takes the ball upfield during a soccer match against Fernie on Friday afternoon at the high school field in Cranbrook. The Wild played four matches over two days, beating each high school team that came in from Kimberley, Invermere, Creston and Fernie. The Wild’s closest game came with a 1-0 victory over their rivals in the Selkirk Storm out of Kimberley—a squad that features a few players that play on the Cranbrook/Kimberley rep team. Each school also braved the snowy blizzard on Saturday and got in some more games, as everyone used the weekend as a tune up experience, rather than a formal tournament.

Adam Scott wins Masters in playoff roundPAul Ne wberryAssociated Press

AUGUSTA, Ga. - Adam Scott became the first Australian to win the Masters, beating Angel Cabrera on the second hole of a playoff on a soggy Sunday at Augusta National.

The Masters went to a sudden-death playoff for the second year in a row when Scott and Cabrera made match-ing birdies on the 72nd hole.

They both made par

on the first extra hole, returning to No. 18, be-fore Scott rolled in a 12-footer for birdie to win it.

Scott pumped his fists in the air, scream-ing toward the grey, darkening sky, and em-braced caddie Steve Williams, who was on the bag for 13 of Tiger Woods’ 14 major titles.

For Scott, this is the first, making up for his major meltdown at last year’s British Open, where he bogeyed the

last four holes to lose by a stroke to Ernie Els.

“I found my way today,” Scott said.

Scott, playing in the next-to-last group, made a 20-foot putt at 18 and celebrated with Williams as if it were over. Cabrera, in the final group, watched from the fairway know-ing he had to hit a bril-liant shot.

He did.Cabrera’s ball pulled

up 3 feet from the cup for an easy birdie that

sent the two players to the playoff tied at 9-under 279.

“That’s how golf is,” said Cabrera, who was denied his third major title. “I had some issues during the course but I came back.”

Another Australian, Jason Day, had the lead until he bogeyed the 16th and 17th holes. He finished two strokes out of the playoff at 281.

Woods, the over-whelming favourite, came up short again. He

hasn’t won the Masters since 2005, or any major championship since the 2008 U.S. Open.

Woods struggled with the putter on the front side, then missed a birdie try at No. 16 that could have put some pressure on the leaders.

“I had a hard time getting accustomed to the speed,” said Woods, who finished in a tie for fourth at 283. “Every putt I left short for prob-ably the first eight holes.”

BORN TODAY Actress Emma Watson (1990), painter/sculptor Leonardo da Vinci (1452), actress Emma Thompson (1959)

Dear Annie: I have been friends with “Missy” for a long time. She hates her husband’s sister and hasn’t allowed them to speak to each other for years. The sister is not allowed to come anywhere near Missy’s house. Last year, things got worse. Missy has five grown children. Four of them remain in touch with “Aunt Martha.” As a result, three months ago, Missy sent them letters stating she was no longer going to be a mother, grand-mother or great-grandmother to their families. For some reason, she is still close to the fifth child, even though that one also talks to Aunt Martha. This makes me so sad. I attended her grand-daughter’s bridal shower, and Missy wasn’t there. The granddaughter’s wedding is next month. Mis-sy and her husband are the only grandparents this child has, and they won’t attend. I don’t care if Missy dislikes her sister-in-law, but I cannot fathom how she can take it out on her grandchildren. I think she needs professional help. She is missing out on so much. She has tak-en her husband’s family away from him, and he won’t stand up to her. They aren’t young anymore, and I would hate for something to happen to them without this getting resolved. I feel terrible about this situation and don’t know whether there is anything I can do. I’m afraid if I say anything, I will lose her friendship. -- Feeling Helpless Dear Helpless: You are right that Missy could use professional help. She is drowning in bitterness and anger and taking it out on everyone around her instead of dealing with her issues. We also feel sorry for her spineless husband, who should have stood up to his wife long ago and now risks losing everyone he loves. There’s not much you can do to remedy this. You could gently ask Missy whether it’s worth losing her children and grandchildren. Should Missy be-moan her relationships to you, first recommend that she talk to her doctor (sometimes these ex-treme personality issues are due to medical prob-lems), and then suggest that she and the kids go together for family counseling. Dear Annie: You sometimes print readers’ pet peeves. Here’s mine: I cringe every time I hear “Waddya got,” “I don’t got,” “I got” and so forth. Whatever happened to the words “going” and “have”? It’s one thing to hear “ain’t” and “ain’t got” all the time in popular songs. But it really kills me to hear TV professionals speaking improperly. Have we become so lazy that everything we hear is accept-able? -- Albany, N.Y. Dear Albany: Language, particularly English, is a fluid entity. It changes over time. Words once con-sidered slang become standard. Made-up words enter the lexicon. Some of these adaptations are beneficial. Others, not so much. One would hope that professional broadcasters would be more cir-cumspect about proper language, but too many people, including professionals and those who write for them, are unaware of exactly what that means. What isn’t taught and reinforced, in school and in life, becomes forgotten. Dear Annie: This is for “Heartbroken in Flori-da”: My condolences on the loss of your husband to the devastating disease of alcoholism. Please know there is hope for a serene and hap-py life regardless of your current circumstances. Consider attending at least six Al-Anon meetings, a support group for family members and friends who live or have lived with alcohol abuse. I did this years ago. You can contact Al-Anon at al-anon.org or through their toll-free number for group meeting information at 1-888-4Al-Anon (1-888-425-2666). -- Extremely Grateful in Wisconsin Dear Grateful: Thank you for the useful sugges-tion. We hope it helps. Annie’s snippet for Income Tax Day (credit Wil-liam Simon): The nation should have a tax system that looks like someone designed it on purpose.

FEATURES

I was driving down the road today feeling rather glum, thinking about all the stuff I had to do. It was rather snowy and blustering out which makes one feel out of

sorts. I had to stop at one of the stop signs

in town and here was this sign written in paper, rather wet and soggy and faded under the stop sign, that said, ‘You’re beautiful.’

Well, if that didn’t put a smile on my face then I don’t know what would.

I then thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be wonder-ful if every stop sign in town had that written on it?’

So whoever put that wonderful, kind message underneath that stop sign, thank you so much I really need-ed that. What a great person you must be to think of something so kind and heart-warming.

Dear Wendy:I came to see you several months

ago for a reading and it helped me make some major decisions in my life.

After visiting you I had several more questions I forgot to ask you and I was wondering if you could help me again.

I will be coming back to Cranbrook in a few months and giving you a call but I live in a remote area that I am working in and this is why I am email-ing you these few questions.

I wanted to ask about the job I am now working in and wonder if I will have to work much longer in this area.

I was also thinking about building a new home next year and if you thought I should wait on that project.

I don’t get a good feeling about building a new home next year but my partner wants to do it anyway.

I also thought I would ask you about my partner’s male friend, if he has any romantic interest in her.

I feel that he has and she says I am out of my mind in that direction.

We had a little quarrel about it be-fore I left and she said rather sarcasti-cally, “Well, why don’t you ask Wendy if you are going to ask her these other questions?”

So there it is; I am emailing my questions and hope that you can an-swer me at your convenience.

Anticipating Action

Dear Anticipating Action:I remember you; you were a bright,

considerate young man; that was a good reading we had. My guides and I will be happy to answer some of the questions you have asked of us.

We see you getting a promotion and leaving the job you are now in, in the latter part of August or September of this year.

You will be moving to a more pop-ulated area that I feel you may like very much.

I think you should listen to your feelings about building a new home next year. The reason for this is be-

cause you will be mov-ing around within the next few years until you find the right place to settle down and build.

My guides just in-formed me that you may get another job promo-tion around 2014 and be asked if you want to

move to another country. They showed me a big body of

water and it is quite tropical looking. I didn’t get the name of the country; geography is not something I am ex-actly good at. So if you have any names of places give me a call or email me and I can ask my guides and they will definitely tell me if we are in the right location(s).

So in answer to the building ques-tion I totally agree with you to wait and see what happens and don’t build next year.

I think all that education that you have achieved will finally be paying off for you within the next five years.

You can also tell your partner that she should start listening to you more often because again you are correct about this other man who is her friend. He definitely does have ro-mantic inclinations towards her.

I think she may like the attention and is really not paying attention to what is happening in this friendship she has with this man.

I can tell you that she is not having an affair with him while you are away and she does not want to have a rela-tionship with him other than friend-ship.

I asked my guides and they assured me that she loves you and wants to be with you.

However, maybe it’s time you start laying the law down with her and tell her she needs to stop playing with this young man’s feelings.

I feel she is being selfish, inconsid-erate and disrespectful to you and this other guy.

Job promotions are coming your way, guides say

BoB WeBerCanadian Press

Russian officials are becom-ing increasingly concerned about polar bear poachers in their country using Canadian documents to disguise illegally hunted pelts.

“I think it is a real problem,’’ said Nikita Ovsyanikov, one of Russia’s top polar bear scientists and a member of the polar bear specialist group, the leading in-ternational research consortium on the mighty and controversial predators.

Ovsyanikov claims that Ca-nadian documents required to bring hides into the country are being separated from the ship-ments they originally accompa-nied and sold separately. The certificates are then applied to skins from Russian polar bears to make them appear as if they have been legally hunted and imported.

Canada is the only country in the world that allows sport hunt-ing of polar bears, which makes it the only country to issue cer-tificates under the Convention on Trade In Endangered Species that allow polar bear products to cross borders.

“I’m aware of two cases where not pelts, but certificates were offered for sale on the In-ternet,’’ Ovsyanikov in an inter-view with The Canadian Press from Moscow. “The price was $1,000 so it was quite a profit-able business.’’

Groups such as the Interna-tional Fund for Animal Welfare have raised similar concerns.

They have released an Inter-net screen grab from last Octo-ber showing what appears to be a Canadian CITES certificate along with a polar bear rug. The price is 30,000 rubles — about $1,000.

“It was marked ‘Sold,’” trans-lated Maria Vorontsova, a mem-ber of the Fund’s Moscow branch. “It was referring to the certificate, not the hide.’’

Ovsyanikov said polar bear hides sell in Russia for up to $50,000.

Russians say Canadian documents help polar bear poachers

Such pelts are increasingly popular among Russia’s elite. Ca-nadian auction houses have said they can’t meet demand for the hides, most of which go to Russia.

Russian officials, supported by the International Fund for Animal Welfare, used concerns over the Canadian documents aiding poachers to argue that all trade in polar bear parts should be banned at the recent CITES meeting in Bangkok.

However, Canadian scientists aren’t sure there’s a problem.

Geoff York of the World Wild-life Fund said his group looked into the accusations about a year ago and failed to find much evi-dence.

University of Alberta scientist Andrew Derocher said there is a regular, if unofficial, polar bear harvest among aboriginals in the Russian Arctic. Some of those hides are probably hitting the market and some may be laundered with Canadian docu-ments, he said.

“It sounds like there is a mar-ket in these documents. It’s a re-ally messy situation.’’

But Derocher said Canadian hunts are well-managed and sustainable and the issue should be Russian law enforcement.

“We haven’t really got good information from Russia to show that their populations are at risk from harvesting or poaching.’’

Environment Canada said it has no knowledge of its docu-

ments being misused.“Although we have been

monitoring the allegations, to our knowledge they remain un-substantiated,’’ said spokesman Danny Kingsberry in an email.

“Environment Canada has seen no evidence that Canadian CITES certificates are being used to illegally launder poached Russian bears. The department continually monitors our per-mitting process to ensure that it remains secure.’’

Ovsyanikov said the market is probably much larger than offi-cials know. He said that few ex-amples have been found of CITES certificates for sale be-cause few are looking for them.

“There was no monitoring from the authorities,’’ he said. “That is what we are criticizing — that law enforcement is not actively concentrating on this problem.’’

Ovsyanikov maintains that legal bear hunting in Canada isn’t helping. Even legal hides just stimulate demand, he said, part of which will be filled by poachers.

“Canadian polar bear science is constantly repeating the major threat to polar bears is global warming,’’ he said. “This is true.

“It’s a global threat and it’s a long-acting threat. But commer-cial trade, it is an immediate threat which we could eliminate if we could stop hunting and commercial use of polar bears.’’

HALIFAX — Dozens of peo-ple gathered in front of the Halifax district RCMP office today to demand justice for a young woman who took her own life after months of bully-ing.

People held signs and wrote messages on a banner for 17-year-old Rehtaeh Parsons, who hanged herself and was taken off life-support a week ago.

Parsons has gained wide-

spread international attention since her family blamed her death on bullying that was linked to an alleged sexual assault by four boys at a house party in 2011.

The peaceful protest was or-ganized by the online hacker group Anonymous, which claims it knows the identities of the boys accused of being in-volved in the sexual assault.

Organizer Dave Rossetti told the crowd that the group is de-manding the RCMP continue

the investigation and that the province’s Justice Department open an invesitgation into how the Mounties have handled the case.

RCMP announced on Friday that it would reopen its investi-gation into an alleged sexual as-sault of Parsons in 2011.

The family contends it took 10 months for investigators to interview the boys in the initial investigation, but the RCMP have said they can’t confirm or deny that.

Dozens attend protest for teen who committed suicide after bullying

HARPER, Heather Patricia 1951 - 2013

In the early morning hours of Thursday, March 14, 2013, Heather Patricia Harper passed away at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital at the age of 61 years. Heather was the youngest of three siblings born to Tom and Phyllis Harper on June 4, 1951 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Heather leaves to mourn her passing her husband, Blaine Purdy, one son Derek (Erin) Johnson; two stepchildren, Dylan and Angela Purdy and two brothers Kent (Laurie) and Charlie (Marlene). She also leaves behind her nieces and nephew, Kim, Blake and Sara-Rose as well as many cousins and friends who will miss her kind spirit. Heather was predeceased by her mother and father, Tom and Phyllis Harper.

Heather was a pillar of strength to her family. She was a very compassionate person and gave of her time selflessly to many people. She spent many hours in volunteer positions throughout the community, doing what she did in the background but being a big part of the success of the groups she helped. Heather loved to camp, fish, golf and travel. She and Blaine enjoyed their years together and she was the love of his life. Heather is going to be missed deeply by all of us.

A Memorial Service for Heather will be held at Mark Memorial Funeral Home on Saturday, April 20, 2013 at 3:00 pm. A Celebration of Heather’s life will continue following the service at the Kimberley Elks Club at 5:00 pm. If friends desire, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 19 - 9th Ave. S., Cranbrook, BC V1C 2L9. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com.

SUBMITTED

Val Paolini, RN and Dr. Keith Lowden, GP Oncologist (seated) welcome the arrival of two recliners to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital Oncology Unit, bringing some extra comfort to individuals receiving treatment at the unit. The donation of the pair was from none other than big-hearted kindness from Ken Bridge at Bridge Interiors. Kerry Orza, manager at Bridge Interiors and EKFH’s Donna Grainger join in on the celebration. Making a difference in health care can be many things including financial gifts, products, events, volunteering and more. If you are interested in helping out, call Donna Grainger at EKFH – toll-free 1-877-489-6481 or local 250 489-6481.

Springtime in the Kootenays can only mean one thing… a lot of mud! For most people that might be a problem but not for Ken and Sheila Hansen of Integ-ra Tire who recently attended the Koocanusa annual mud bog event.

While having fun out in the great outdoors the Hansens also challenged their fellow mud boggers to make donations in support of East Kootenay Foun-dation for Health.

After a day in the sun Integra Tire matched the donations and recently made a presentation of $250 to be allocated to the In-tensive Care Unit fund.

Big or small, a gift made to EKFH stays here in the East Kootenays to help EKFH’s mis-sion to provide funding for the East Kootenay Regional Hospi-tal and other community facili-ties in complementing the health care needs of the region.

WOMEN’S RESOURCE CENTRE

SUBMITTEDThe CUPE Local 2090

on behalf of City of Cranbrook employees has donated $1,000 to Friends of the Cran-brook Women’s Re-source Centre for the Keep the Doors Open Campaign.

The Friends of the Women’s Centre have been working to build awareness of the Wom-en’s Centre and its need for financial support since it had to close in March 2011 for lack of funds.

They have developed a donor campaign and presentation known as “Keep the Doors Open”. Keeping the doors open costs $132 for one day, $1,154 for one week, or $4,167 for one month.

The Friends have raised funds through grants and community

events, including The Vagina Monologues and their annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes March. The Women’s Centre contin-ues to be under threat of closure however.

The need for the

Women’s Centre’s ser-vices continues to grow and more and more women access it daily. Every woman who walks through the doors for help, and leaves again with hope, makes

our community a safer, healthier, and better place.

The Friends are so grateful to CUPE Local 2090, City of Cranbrook employees for this most generous donation.

U.S. singer Beyonce and her husband, rapper Jay-Z, right, tour Old Havana in Cuba on Thursday, April 4, 2013. R&B’s power couple was in Havana on their fifth wedding anniversary.

AssociAted Press

WASHINGTON — Sen. Marco Rubio says entertainers Beyonce and Jay-Z missed a chance while in Cuba to see firsthand the effects of political oppression.

The Republican lawmaker from Florida calls their recent trip “hypo-critical’’ and he takes issue with the U.S. government’s approval of the visit as a cultural mission.

Beyonce and Jay-Z marked their wedding anniversary in Havana last week.

U.S. citizens aren’t allowed to travel

to Cuba for mere tourism, though they can obtain licenses for academic, reli-gious, journalistic or cultural ex-change trips.

These people-to-people licenses were reinstated under the Obama ad-ministration.

Rubio, a Cuban-American, says such trips provide money to the Cas-tro government to oppress the Cuban people.

Rubio discussed the trip during in-terviews Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,’’ ABC’s “This Week’’ and NBC’s “Meet the Press.’’

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — Jus-tin Bieber is raising eyebrows again with his life off the stage.

The Canadian pop star is taking a beating online for a note that the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam says he left in its guestbook after touring the museum on Friday.

On its Facebook page, the museum says Bieber wrote he hoped Frank “would have been a Belieber,’’ the nickname embraced by his fans.

Many are expressing outrage on Facebook, accusing the 19-year-old crooner of being disrespectful and ig-norant.

Some Twitter users are taking a more lighthearted tone, listing other historical figures that could have been fans under the hashtag #wouldhave-beenbeliebers.

Frank was a Jewish teenager who kept a diary while hiding from Nazi occupiers during the Second World War. She died in a concentration camp. Her diary has become the most widely read document to emerge from the Holocaust.

The Anne Frank House says Bieber visited the museum for more than an hour before penning the note.

Canadian singer Justin Bieber per-forms on stage during a concert in Zurich, Switzerland Friday, March 22.

“Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber,’’ the museum says he wrote.

“That little idiot is way too full of himself. She’s an important historical figure so show some respect,’’ one commenter wrote.

Others came to Bieber’s defence, saying he should be commended for trying to learn about Frank.
