ARNE PETRYSHENHere is the weekly Cranbrook RCMP police

report from Monday, Feb. 23 to Sunday, March 1. Staff Sgt. Dave Dubnyk noted there were 142 calls to service to Cranbrook RCMP this past week, and 592 in the month of February.

February 23 5:22 a.m. Police were requested to check on a

person’s wellbeing. The person hadn’t been heard from. Police attended the person’s resi-dence and they were at home.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYThe past two weeks have been a trip down mem-

ory lane for Joy Ward-Fera, who was recently in Prince George to take in the Canada Winter Games.

Ward-Fera, a Cranbrook native, was one of four people inducted into the Canada Games Hall of Fame for their athletic legacies with Canadian sport.

She has a history with the Canada Winter Games, as she competed in the slalom races back in 1971 in Saskatoon, winning a gold medal in the team por-tion of the event.

Not a bad accomplishment given her health at the time.

Regional Science Fair calls for projects from students

Barry CouLTerAn annual highlight

of the East Kootenay ac-ademic spring is ap-proaching.

Organizers of the an-nual East Kootenay Re-gional Science Fair want students to know there’s still plenty of time to put together a science proj-ect for the event, sched-

uled for April 10 and 11 at the College of the Rockies in Cranbrook. The fair is open to all students from School Districts 5 and 6.

At last year’s science fair there were more than 200 projects en-tered, with thousands of dollars in prizes and scholarships available.

The theme of this year’s fair is “Light,” in keeping with the United Nations’ proclamation of the International Year of Light and Light-based technologies.

In proclaiming an In-ternational Year focus-ing on the topic of light science and its applica-tions, the UN has recog-

nized the importance of raising global aware-ness about how light-based technologies pro-mote sustainable devel-opment and provide solutions to global chal-lenges in energy, educa-tion, agriculture and health.

“Light plays a vital role in our daily lives

and is an imperative cross-cutting discipline of science in the 21st century,” according to a UN statement. “It has revolutionized medi-cine, opened up inter-national communica-tion via the Internet, and continues to be central to linking cultur-al, economic and politi-cal aspects of the global society.”

Friday, April 10, will feature the Competitive Fair for students in Grades 6 through 12. Saturday, April 11, will feature the non-com-petitive fair for students from Kindergarten through Grade 5. Infor-mation on how to do a science project, includ-ing a six-week plan to follow, can be found at the Fair’s website, www.ekrsf.ca.

One of the highlights of this year’s fair will be the guest speaker — As-tronaut Abby.

Abigail Harrison’s ambition is to be an as-tronaut — but not only that, she plans to be the first astronaut to Mars. With a dream that big, it takes setting goals and working hard each day to make it a reality. Abi-gail is one step closer, having travelled to Rus-sia in May, 2013, as a special guest of Ital-ian Astronaut Luca Par-mitan, to to be a part of a legendary Soyuz launch–Soyuz-TMA-09M.

After the launch, Abby served as Parmita-no’s Earth Liaison, bringing space down to Earth by sharing Parmi-tano’s space mission with her followers and other young people in-terested in space.

Many exhibitors will also take part in the sci-ence fair, including Kimberley’s Sun Mine project, The Rocky Mountain Trench Eco-system Restoration So-ciety, Wildsight, Koote-nay Beekeepers, Main-streams, the Kootenay Trout Hatchery and others.

Volunteers are need-ed for both days, includ-ing judges for Friday and helpers for Friday and Saturday who can commit to two hours, four hours or all day. To volunteer, contact Tess Green at [email protected].

For The TownSman Parents of young

children in Cranbrook now have access to a range of early learning, health and family ser-vices in one convenient location. A new B.C. Early Years Centre has opened at the Kootenay Child Development Centre to support fami-lies with children up to age 6.

Hosted by the Com-munity Connections Society of Southeast B.C., the centre offers a number of programs, services and supports including:

• An inventory of programs and services

for young children and families in Cranbrook.

• Support in choos-ing the correct services for a family’s needs.

The B.C. Early Years Centre in Cranbrook is one of 14 new centres across the province. The chosen sites are in a diverse mix of urban, rural and Aboriginal communities, and will build on existing local community resources to enhance services for families. Each centre will receive $52,000 from the Provincial Of-fice for the Early Years for this fiscal year as part of a $5.5-million investment over three

years. This is the second

phase of an initiative under the B.C. Early Years Strategy to imple-ment a network of Early Years Centres through-out the province that will provide families with one-stop, conve-nient access to a range of services and sup-ports, information and referrals.

“Our government is committed to support-ing preschool children with a range of pro-grams that are designed for their needs,” Koote-nay East MLA Bill Ben-nett said. “Programs and services that have

been developed for the B.C. Early Years Centre in Cranbrook help en-sure our region’s chil-dren thrive now and throughout their lives.”

A key goal is to cre-ate a questionnaire, ti-tled Ages and Stages, that allows parents to identify where their children might require extra support, said Kim Levie, assistant director, Community Connec-tions Society of South-east B.C. “This tool is important to early iden-tification and referral to services that will en-hance and support a child’s development,” Levie said.

This web poll is informal. It reflects opinions of site visitors who voluntarily participate. Results may not represent the opinions of the public as a whole. Black Press is not responsible for the statistical accuracy of opinions expressed here.

This week’s poll: “Should Cranbrook pursue its plans for a deer cull?”

“Do you think the Kootenay Ice are poised for a deep playoff run?”

YES: 75% NO: 25%

“I was at a race in Red Deer ahead of going to the Canada Games,” said Ward-Fera. “The night before, we left to fly from Edmonton to Saskatoon and as I was working on my skis and bent down to remove some old wax, I was really sore in my knees and ankles.

“I thought, ‘What’s wrong with me?’ and I thought I’d better not say anything to anyone or I might get sent home.”

Upon arriving in Saskatoon, she headed straight to the athlete sick bay and holed up for two days after doctors diagnosed her with German measles.

“I looked at the week of com-petition and thought, ‘I’ve got to get out of here,’” said Ward-Fera. “I must get back out to the slopes.”

“In those days I was allowed to sign myself out against doctors’ orders and you can’t do that today, understandably.”

Gathering her equipment, she made the great escape from the infirmary and found transporta-tion to Blackstrap Ski Hill for her alpine skiing events.

“My wrists and hands were all affected and I couldn’t hang on to my ski poles, so I remember tak-ing black electrical tape and tap-ing my gloves to my poles,” said Ward-Fera. “Looking back, I

probably could’ve had an arm ripped off, I don’t know, but it was worth it.”

There were alternates on the ski team and Ward-Fera figured if she didn’t do well in the individu-al racing, she’d give up her spot for the team event.

“For the team event, dual sla-lom—province against prov-ince—we won the gold and that was just so exciting,” she said.

Not only was she battling the measles, but a ski hill—in Saska-toon of all places—was a chal-lenge for all the wrong reasons.

“Whoever is in charge of mak-ing snow forgot to push the com-pressed air switch or whatever it was called, and all it did was flood water. So for those of us used to lovely powder from British Co-lumbia going against athletes from Ontario and Quebec who were, indeed, used to icy condi-tions, this was very difficult skiing almost on ice.

“I’ll never forget that.”The hill itself was built up from

a river bank to make it more height, given that the rest of the terrain around Saskatoon wasn’t exactly mountainous.

“It was a garbage dump, as I understand, built up with the earth and on the banks of the river that gave it a little more ver-

tical,” Ward-Fera said. “Slalom was the only event they could host, they didn’t have the vertical to do anything else. So slalom was the only event.

“I remember looking down for a red light at the top of a hill to warn airplanes that there was this mountain near Saskatoon.”

She was in Prince George on the eve of the opening ceremo-nies to be feted for her induction into the Hall of Honour and was also a part of the medal-unveil-ling ceremony, as they were made by a local aboriginal artist.

“I was really honoured to be inducted into this Hall of Honour with other athletes that have gone before me,” said Ward-Fera.

“…The Hall of Honour up in Prince George was just a really humbling, wonderful, new mem-ory from what all started out in Saskatoon.”

Following her gold medal win as an athlete at the Canada Win-ter Games, Ward-Fera went on to compete in rowing and compet-ed for Canada at the 1976 Olym-pic Games in Montreal. She also notched back-to-back bronze medal performances in the Eight at the 1977 and 1978 World Championships. She also co-founded the Delta Deas Row-ing Club and currently resides in Tsawwassen.

VICTORIA – Hun-dreds of hunters, some wearing camouflage and blowing duck calls, gathered at the B.C. leg-islature Monday to pro-test the share of big-gam hunting permits set aside for guide-outfit-ters and their out-of-province clients.

About 300 hunters and supporters attend-ed the rally, bringing pe-titions with thousands of names to present in the legislature. The larg-est petition called for a limit of 10 per cent share of moose and elk allo-cated for non-resident hunters, and 15 per cent for mountain goats and grizzly bears, prized by trophy hunters.

It was the latest of a series of protests that began in December when the government announced an increase of limited-entry hunting opportunities for guide-outfitters.

Sean Richardson, president of the Oceola

Government unmoved by hunter protest

Fish and Game Club in the Okanagan, said with the resurgence of hunt-ing popularity in B.C., the government is mov-ing in the wrong direc-tion by increasing com-mercialization of wild-life harvesting.

“We need to stop managing a diminishing resource through social management, and we need to start working to-wards making more wildlife,” Richardson said.

Forests Minister

Steve Thomson said he understands the princi-ple behind the ongoing protest, but the latest al-location decision was made after 10 years of discussions with resi-dent hunters and guide-outfitters, and he

is not prepared to change it again.

When the plan was announced in Decem-ber, the government es-timated that it repre-sented a shift of 168 ani-mals in limited-entry hunt areas from resident hunters to guide outfit-ters. After resident hunt-ers and the B.C. Wildlife Federation objected, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced in February that is being adjusted to a shift of about 60 animals to guide-outfitters. But the protests have contin-ued.

B.C. hunters are con-cerned that the share reserved for guide-out-fitters is higher than anywhere else in North America. Under the lat-est policy for limit-ed-entry hunts, that share is 20 per cent for elk, 20 or 25 per cent for moose depending on the restricted region, 35 per cent for mountain goat, and 40 per cent for grizzly bears.

Open season areas for moose and other an-imals remain in the southern Interior and northeast, where any-one can buy a license

and tag to hunt. Abun-dant species such as mule deer, whitetail deer and black bear have no hunting quotas in any part of B.C.

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver intro-duced legislation Mon-day that would require non-resident hunters to pack out the edible parts of grizzly bears they shoot in B.C. Trophy hunters should be sub-ject to the same “eat what you kill” rules as resident hunters already face, he said.

The Week on the Beat: Cranbrook RCMP on the jobContinued from page 1


OpiniOn/EvEnts

The first round of the battle for the euro is over, and Germany has won. The whole European Union won, really, but the Ger-mans set the strategy. Technically, every-body just kicked the can down the road four months by extending the existing bail-out arrangements for Greece, but what was really re-vealed in the past week is that the Greeks can’t win. Not now, not later.

The left-wing Syriza Party stormed to power in Greece last month promis-ing to ditch the austerity that has plunge a third of the population below the poverty line and to renegotiate the country’s massive $270 billion bail-out with the EU and the International Monetary Fund. Exhausted Greek voters just wanted an end to six years of pain and privation, and Syriza offered them hope. But it has been in retreat ever since.

In the election campaign, Syriza prom-ised 300,000 new jobs and a big boost in the monthly minimum wage (from $658 to $853). After last week’s talks with the EU and the IMF, all that’s left is a promise to expand an existing programme that pro-vides temporary work for the unemployed, and an “ambition” to raise the minimum wage “over time”.

Its promise to provide free electricity and subsidised food for families without in-comes remains in place, but Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’s government has promised the EU and the IMF that its “fight against the humanitarian crisis (will have) no negative fiscal effect.” In other words, it won’t spend extra money on these projects unless it makes equal cuts somewhere else.

Above all, its promise not to extend the

bail-out programme had to be dropped. Instead, it got a four-month “bridging loan” that came with effectively the same harsh restrictions on Greek government spending (although Syriza was allowed to rewrite them in its own words). And that loan will

expire at the end of June, just before Greece has to redeem $7 billion in bonds.

So there will be four months of attritional warfare and then another crisis – which Greece will once again lose. It will lose partly because it hasn’t actually got

a very good case for special treatment, and partly because the European Union doesn’t really believe it will pull out of the euro common currency.

Greece’s debt burden is staggering – about $30,000 per capita. It can never be repaid, and some of it will eventually have to be cancelled or “rescheduled” into the indefinite future. But not now, when other euro members like Spain, Portugal and Ire-land are struggling with some success to pay down their heavy but smaller debts. If Greece got such a sweet deal, everybody else would demand debt relief too.

The cause of the debt was the same in every case: the euro was a stable, low-inter-est currency that banks were happy to lend in, even to relatively low-income European countries that were in the midst of clearly unsustainable, debt-fuelled booms. So all the southern European EU members (and Ireland) piled in – but nobody else did it on the same scale as the Greeks.

The boom lasted for the best part of a decade after the euro currency launched in 1999. Ordinary Greeks happily bought im-ported German cars, French wines, Italian

luxury goods and much else, while the rich and politically well connected raked off far larger sums and paid as little tax as possible. Greek governments ended up lying about the size of the country’s debts.

No less an authority than Syriza’s finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, described the atmosphere of the time like this: “The aver-age Greek had convinced herself that Greece was superb. A cut above the rest....Due to our exceptional ‘cunning’, Greece was managing to combine fun, sun, xenych-ti (late nights) and the highest GDP growth in Europe.”

Then the roof fell in after the 2008 crash, and “self-immolation followed self-con-gratulation, but left self-importance in the driving seat,” as Varoufakis put it.

That is why the sympathy for Greece’s plight in other EU members is limited. Moreover, the EU, and especially the Ger-mans, have managed to convince them-selves that “grexit” (Greek exit from the euro) would not be a limitless disaster.

The other PIGS (Portugal, Ireland and Spain) are in much better shape financially, and Brussels no longer fears that the Greek “contagion” will spread irresistibly to them as well. Neither does it think that a Greek departure from the euro would bring the whole edifice of the single currency tum-bling down. And it knows that the vast ma-jority of Greeks don’t want to leave either the euro or the EU – so it’s playing hardball.

When the interim deal was made public on Tuesday, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras put the best possible face on it, saying that Greece had “won a battle, but not the war.” In fact he lost the first battle, as he was bound to. It will take him longer to lose the whole war, but that will probably happen too.

Greece Loses, European Union Wins

In ‘The Marshmallow Test,’ au-thor Walter Mischel (who creat-ed this study in the early 70s) not explains the implications of his work, but also shows how anyone can learn this beneficial trait.

TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 2015

In a recent speech, Premier Chris-ty Clark quipped that while teenagers tend to be lazy, there

is a limit.If your kid is still on the couch after age

30, she said, he’s not a teenag-er any more. “He’s a New Democrat.”

Clark’s ‘get off the couch and get a job’ message is now being translated into govern-ment policy. The B.C. govern-ment is using one of the few tools available to it to track down people who aren’t pay-ing off their student loans, by linking de-faulted debt to driver’s licence renewals.

There are “hardship” provisions for those who don’t have a job. ICBC will only refuse to renew a driver’s licence or vehi-cle plates for those who have let their stu-dent debt go for a year without making some effort to deal with it.

Student debt collection is a long-stand-ing problem for the province, with about $185 million currently on the books as defaulted and unpaid. Students naturally move around after completing their stud-ies, and once the six-month grace period for beginning to repay student loans ex-pires, finding those who aren’t paying be-comes a costly effort.

Historically governments sent default-ed debt to collection agencies. Last year $17.3 million was collected.

How big is student debt these days?

The subject was discussed briefly in the legislature last week.

In question period, NDP leader John Horgan reminded the government that tuition fees have doubled over the past

decade, and cited a Bank of Montreal estimate that the average university stu-dent emerges from a four-year program owing $35,000 in student loans.

With his usual modesty and tact, Advanced Edu-cation Minister Andrew Wilkinson dismissed Hor-

gan’s accusation that he is indifferent to the plight of students. Wilkinson noted that the Bank of Montreal surveyed 602 students across Canada, and only 78 of them were in B.C.

“To clarify this, and to address the cackling chickens on the other side, we have 430,000 students in our system,” Wilkinson said. “Some of them are part-time; some of them are on short courses. We have 180,000 students who are in the system full-time and eligible for student aid.

“Of those 180,000 students, 45,000 turn to the province for financial aid – meaning that 75 per cent of students, more than what was quoted on the CBC yesterday, go through their education without incurring debt through the provincial student aid program.”

Whatever the amount owing is for an

individual, it’s a debt that will be more difficult to avoid paying. The province has long used the withholding of driving priv-ileges to collect unpaid provincial court fines, and that was recently extended to those who are 90 days in arrears on $25 or more worth of Lower Mainland bridge tolls.

This student debt collection move fol-lows efforts to match up post-secondary funding to areas of employment demand. In an era where misguided university pro-fessors use their positions to organize vio-lent protests against job-creating projects, the messages are similar.

Variations of this productivity theme are being heard from governments across North America. The baby boomers are re-tiring. We are bringing in temporary for-eign workers, not because of some right-wing plot, but because too many people growing up in our society refuse to do an increasing range of jobs.

We have an education system — and media — that encourages people to com-plain and make demands to get what they want. And we are seeing the results of all of this.

There was a U.S. president once who said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

Lady Avs finish fourth at PACWEST ChampionshipsTaylor rocc a

Sports Editor

The season came to close Saturday after-noon for the College of the Rockies (COTR) Lady Avalanche follow-ing a straight-sets defeat at the hands of the Cap-ilano University Blues in the bronze-medal game at the 2015 PACWEST Volleyball Champion-ships at Camosun Col-lege in Victoria.

Despite coming up short in their hunt for a PACWEST medal, the Lady Avs concluded a strong season in which they finished 11-13 through regular season play and qualified for the PACWEST Volley-ball Championships for the first time in program history.

The turnaround sea-son came on the heels of

only winning two matches during the 2013-14 campaign.

“After we did our 7-1 run in the second half at home, everybody went, ‘Holy cow. I can’t be-lieve where we got to,’” said Lady Avalanche head coach Andrew Zu-rrin Monday afternoon. “[The girls] were really, really happy with them-selves in terms of what we’ve done, where we’re playing an exciting brand of ball and proba-bly the best defensive team on the floor. Every-body, as a team, was happy with what they’ve accomplished.

“They were excited to get past that first round of the playoffs…It was a banner season.”

In the midst of the their first trip to the PACWEST Volleyball Championships, the

Lady Avs eked out the first victory in program history at the tourna-ment, defeating the Uni-versity of the Fraser Val-ley Cascades in five sets (25-23, 17-25, 20-25, 25-22, 15-8) Thursday night.

From there, the Lady Avs moved on to face the host Camosun Col-lege Chargers Friday night in the semifinals.

The PACWEST’s top-ranked Chargers cruised to a straight-sets win (25-20, 25-18, 25-15) over the Lady Avs to ad-vance to the conference championships, where they fell to the Vancou-ver Island University Mariners in five sets (25-15, 25-21, 24-26, 25-14, 12-15).

“We ran an attack, but because we didn’t finish, we gave them too many chances to count-

er-attack,” Zurrin said.“In order to compete,

we had to play our ‘A’ game and we had to have them falter for us to beat them.”

For the Lady Avs, they were dropped into the bronze-medal match where they fell to the Blues in straight sets (25-16, 25-14, 25-19).

As they have been all season, left side Kelsey Thompson and libero Alexa Koshman were consistent forces all weekend long.

In the bronze-medal game, Thompson was named player of the match for COTR, with nine kills, one ace and five digs.

Koshman was recog-nized with player of the match honours in Fri-day’s loss to Camosun, registering 12 digs in the match.

Though this season has come to a close, Zu-rrin’s focus has already turned to preparing his squad for next season.

Having jumped from two wins to 11 wins this season, the Lady Avs bench boss is shooting for 15 wins and a trip to the CCAA National Championships next season.

The top two teams from PACWEST ad-vance to the CCAA Na-tional Championships.

“I see this program now, expecting to make the playoffs each year,” Zurrin said. “They know what it takes to get wins to get to provincials.

“I, myself, expect to be in interprovincials [CCAA National Cham-pionships] next year and we will take that next step and handle the pressure better.”

The Fernie Ghostrid-ers weren’t about to allow the Kimberley Dy-namiters to stroll into the Fernie Memorial Arena and steal two consecutive games to open the Eddie Moun-tain Division final.

The Ghostriders de-livered in Game 2 Mon-day night, tying the best-of-seven series 1-1 fol-lowing a 5-2 victory.

“Game 1, emotions were running high. We were all kind of getting on each other and we weren’t playing the kind of hockey we know we can play,” Ghostriders forward Aaron Neufeld told Sara Moulton of the Fernie Free Press. “We lost our home-ice ad-vantage, so [Monday] we just looked to come in and be calm, not let our emotions run high. Stay even keel. Just play the hockey we know we can play and we showed it.”

Neufeld, a 20-year-old native of Calgary, led the charge for the Ghostriders, opening the scoring with a pow-er-play goal in the first period and adding an insurance marker at even strength to make it 4-2 midway through the third period.

The third-year Ghostrider added an as-

sist on Taylor Sincennes’ game-winning goal with 3:45 remaining in the second period to round out a three-point performance.

Neufeld sits third in KIJHL playoff scoring with four goals and 11 points following Mon-day’s effort.

After Neufeld’s open-ing tally, the Dynamiters responded with two quick goals of their own as James Jowsey and Braden Saretsky scored 55 seconds apart to give the visitors a 2-1 lead.

Saretsky’s tally came on the man advantage, while Jowsey’s occurred with the teams skating four-on-four.

“Our power play has been hot all playoffs. I know we’ve been work-ing hard at it in practice and I guess it’s paying off,” Saretsky said. “[As-sistant coach Jeff] Keiver runs a great power play and we just execute it.”

Neufeld wasn’t the only Ghostrider to regis-ter a two-goal night as

forward Joel Burgess had himself a two-goal performance in Game 2 as well.

The 20-year-old na-tive of Jaffray knotted the game 2-2 midway through the second pe-riod before firing a laser of a shot past the glove of Nitros goaltender Brody Nelson late in the third period to ice a 5-2 victory.

“Our big thing in pre-game tonight was a con-trolled emotion and without the puck, you can’t be a spectator,” Ghostriders head coach and general manager Craig Mohr told Moul-ton. “You’ve got to move. You’ve got to jump. You’ve got to support the puck. I thought we start-ed to do a better job of it and as the game went on, I thought we did a better and better job of it.

“They’re quick and they work hard. If you’re standing around watch-ing, you’re going to be in trouble.”

Making his first start of the 2015 KIJHL post-season with Tyson Brouwer (day-to-day) unavailable due to a low-er-body injury, Nelson turned aside 24 of the 29 shots sent his way.

At the other end of the rink, Ghostriders goaltender Jeff Orser proved why he was the

Eddie Mountain Divi-sion goaltender of the year, steering aside 27 shots, including a cou-ple key saves in tight late in the third period.

“He wasn’t going to let them score,” Mohr said. “When you’ve got that back there, he just makes saves at big peri-ods of the game.”

With time winding down emotions began to boil over between the two rival clubs. The ex-tra-curricular activities led to a handful of penal-ties against Joel Burgess, Dylan Robertson and Coy Prevost, but nothing that will keep the trio out of Game 3.

“It’s probably going to get even more emotion-

al,” said Nitros captain Jason Richter. “We’ve ob-viously had a rivalry with them for so long. Even during the season we’ve had some serious battles with them. It’s always been a hate-hate thing between us.”

The series shifts to the Kimberley Civic Centre for Games 3 and 4, Wednesday and Fri-day, respectively. Puck drop both nights is scheduled for 7 p.m.

“Bancksy’s a hell of a coach and he’s got them playing real well,” Mohr said of Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks. “This is going to be one hell of a fun series. Both teams are playing so hard. Guys are playing

hurt and they’re coming off the ice grimacing.

“Fernie-Kimberley -- it’s beautiful. It’s playoff

hockey.”Game 5 goes Satur-

day night back at Fernie Memorial Arena at 7:30.

“Fernie-Kimberley -- it’s beautiful. It’s playoff hockey. ”

You’ll have the right touch to loosen up a relationship that has been stiff and somewhat touchy. You will see others become more re-sponsive. Tonight: Let your hair down. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Action surrounds your home. Worry less about what could happen, and remain positive. A friend is likely to come through for you, though you might feel a bit out of sync. Focus on what you want, and don’t be distract-ed. Your endurance counts. To-night: Head home and relax. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Explain what you need as well as what you want. You will be heard no matter what hap-pens. Maintain a low profile. Someone you care about could take the lead in an important discussion. Listen well, and you will learn a lot. Tonight: Hang out with your pals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might see a money matter arise that could cause you to be somewhat off-kilter. Know what you must do, but try not to upset the apple cart. Under-stand that the unexpected is likely to occur, no matter how focused you are. Tonight: Stick to your bottom line. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) News from afar could surprise you. You’ll wonder what would be the best way to approach a change within a relationship. You might not know where the other party stands. The innate tension between you could throw you off. Tonight: Follow a partner’s lead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll feel unusually sure of yourself, but wait one more day before expressing your thoughts. You still might hear an important fact or two that could change your thinking. Do your best to respond appro-priately to someone’s request. Tonight: Be near good music. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You’ll want to push harder to

achieve what you want. Your sense of humor likely won’t be in line with someone else’s. This person might not even get that you are just joking. Remember this for the future. Tonight: Wherever your friends are, you can be found. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll need to remember what to do in order to forge ahead with an unpredictable cohort. There is undeniable tension that exists between you. Use your instincts, and you will land on your feet. Logic does not nec-essarily work with this person. Tonight: Let the party go on and on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A child or new friend could sur-prise you with what he or she says or does. This distraction could affect your concentration. Attempt to detach a bit if you have to handle an important matter. Still, try to enjoy the spontaneity of the moment. Tonight: Movie night. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) One-on-one relating will help you bypass having to return a

lot of calls and messages from the same group. Your sense of humor comes out in a discus-sion. Although there could be an awkward moment, you will be able to get past the problem at hand. Tonight: Be a duo. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be surprised by what a loved one or dear friend shares. You might want to buy a token of affection for this per-son. Remember your budget; you won’t want to go over-board. Be realistic about your expectations. Tonight: Go along with a request. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be upset by a misun-derstanding between you and a loved one. Clearly, you don’t see eye to eye with this person. Accept your differences and use them positively. Both of you have a unique perspective, and both will be applicable. Tonight: Relax at home. BORN TODAY Inventor Alexander Graham Bell (1847), actress Jean Har-low (1911), industrialist George Pullman (1831)

Dear Annie: I am a 51-year-old man and have been unemployed for the past three years. Last year, my wife asked for a divorce. My question is: What can I do to revital-ize my relationship with my three teenage children? I have to initiate all phone calls and texts. They never ask how I am. The youngest is forthcoming about events in his life, but my daughters require extensive questioning, and all I get are brief answers. I understand that they are angry with me, but I am trying my best to get a new job and move on with my life. Every time I see them, I tell them that I miss them, but only my son says he misses me, too. It is so frustrating that I don’t want to do this much longer. I have started applying for jobs out of state so I won’t have to deal with the disappointment. I feel that they are trying to keep me out of their lives. If so, I should just stop trying so hard. I don’t like spending my days thinking about them and feeling hurt. What do you suggest? -- Feel-ing Unloved Dear Unloved: Please do not cut your chil-dren out of your life because they are angry and confused and taking it out on you. No matter how upsetting their behavior, they still need you. They also need to know that you will not give up on them. Talk to your ex-wife. Explain how this hurts the children, and ask for her help in maintaining a better relationship -- for their sakes. Your contact at this moment in time will reflect on their feelings for you in the future, when they are more mature and able to gain perspective. We know it’s hard. Please don’t make it permanent. Dear Annie: My sister and her husband have disowned us because we did not go to a memorial service for her husband’s brother, who passed away after a long battle with cancer. My wife and I saw this brother once every few years at family occasions. We were nev-er at his home. The day of the service, my sister called and asked whether I was com-ing. I said no, that I had other things going on, and she hung up. We are in our late 60s, and I think it’s a shame for them to end a relationship over this. Were we wrong? -- Weighing on My Mind in Pennsylvania Dear Weighing: The point of attending a funeral is to pay respects to the family. Your sister and her husband were “the family.” While you are not obligated to go to the fu-neral of someone you barely know, it would have been a kindness to go for your sister’s sake, or at least give her the impression that you wanted to be there but had other seri-ous obligations. We do think your sister overreacted in the moment, but we also know you’d like to fix this. So apologize to her. Tell her you are so sorry you didn’t go to the funeral, that you should have been there for her and her husband, and that you deeply regret it and hope she can forgive you. It’s not too much to do for a sibling relationship that you val-ue. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Frus-trated Wife,” whose husband leaves the cabinet doors open and never puts tools away. My wonderful, hardworking, intelligent husband exhibits these same tendencies. I would come home from work exhaust-ed and find the cupboard doors open and things all over the countertops. At first, I fumed. Then, God put the thought into my head: If my husband were dead, my cupboard doors would be closed, the screwdriver would be put away and nothing would be out of place. So, I started saying to myself, “Thank you. Hubby is still alive.” The difference in my attitude makes a big difference in my life. -- Petite Wife in Nebraska Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

OTTAWA - It turns out there’s not a lot of logic in the belief that it’s against the law to Vulcanize Wilfrid Lauri-er’s likeness on the $5 bill.

The death of Leon-ard Nimoy last week in-spired people to post photos on social media of marked-up banknotes that show the former prime minister trans-formed to resemble Spock, Nimoy’s famous “Star Trek” character.

For years, Canadians have used pens to doo-dle Spock’s pointy Vul-can ears, sharp eye-brows and signature bowl haircut on the fiv-er’s image of Laurier.

Contrary to what many believe, the Bank of Canada said Monday

it’s not illegal to deface or even mutilate banknotes, although there are laws that pro-hibit reproducing both sides of a current bill electronically.

Nonetheless, bank spokeswoman Josianne Menard pointed out there are reasons to re-sist the urge to scribble on bills.

“The Bank of Canada feels that writing and markings on bank notes are inappropriate as they are a symbol of our country and a source of national pride,” Menard wrote in an email.

Long life and pros-perity might also take a hit: Menard said disfig-ured bills may not circu-late for as long and risk being rejected by retail-ers.

Following Nimoy’s death Friday, social media users posted their own versions of Laurier’s Vulcan make-over to honour the actor.

“Spock your $5 bills for Leonard Nimoy,” a group called the Cana-dian Design Resource tweeted alongside its depiction.

The online images of the altered bills circulat-

ed widely and attracted international media at-tention to something many Canadians were already familiar with.

It wasn’t exactly a place that no Canadian had boldly gone before.

Calgary artist Tom Bagley, who posted his own Spock-Laurier hy-brid on Facebook and Flickr after Nimoy’s death, described it as an old bar trick to impress the waitress.

He compared it to folding the $20 bill along the Queen’s face to make her smile or frown.

Bagley said he had no concerns about any potential legal issues over defacing the banknote. Besides, he said, he drew his with a pencil crayon, which can be erased.

Bank says ‘Spocking’ on $5 not illegal

TORONTO - A mys-tery tunnel discovered near a Pan Am Games venue in north Toronto was built by two men who wanted a place to “hang out,” police said Monday.

The pair, who were tracked down thanks to tips from the public, told investigators they built the tunnel for “personal reasons” and their expla-nation has been verified, Const. Victor Kwong said.

Kwong said police have determined there was never any criminal intent or danger to pub-lic safety, and no charges will be laid.

“It literally was these

two guys who had an idea to create a place to themselves to hang out in,” he said.

“You think about a kid making a fort, digging a hole - add 15 years to that,” he said.

Kwong said the men are not believed to be survivalists, adding they just “wanted to dig a tun-nel.”

The men had “no idea” they weren’t al-lowed to dig in a public park and were apologetic during their interview with police, he said.

Toronto bylaw en-forcement said they would look into whether any city rules had been breached and whether any tickets or fines would be issued.

Police are not releas-ing the men’s names, or any further details since the case is not a criminal investigation, but Kwong said there is no connec-tion to York University, which is near the site where the tunnel was found, or the Pan Am Games.

Toronto police an-nounced the discovery of the tunnel on Feb. 24 and released photos of the site, prompting media coverage across Canada and abroad.

The bunker, discov-ered in January by a con-servation officer in a densely wooded area, is located 25 metres from the fence of the Rexall Centre, which is to host tennis events for the

summer’s Pan Am Games.

Inside, police say they found plywood wall sup-ports, a generator and a sump pump, as well as a rosary with a Remem-brance Day poppy nailed to a wall.

Police said the cham-ber was almost two me-tres high, 86 centimetres wide and 10 metres long.

Even though the bun-ker “looked impressive,” the men have no formal training in construction, Kwong said.

Deputy police Chief Mark Saunders had said there was no evidence to suggest any criminal in-tent in the tunnel’s con-struction, adding “there’s no criminal offence for digging a hole.”

On Stage

Cr a n b r o o k ’ s Classic Rock W e e k e n d , courtesy of

Kootenay Concert Con-nections, reconnected the electricity to the sounds and hits of the 1980s, and the 1,700-plus who packed into Western Financial Place loved every chord change.

The double rock event of Nick Gilder and Sweeney and Loverboy was more than a trip down memory lane — it was an intense evening of rock music. Events took place Saturday, Feb. 28.

Nick Gilder, fronting Sweeney Todd, took the stage like there was no place on earth he would rather be, and his en-thusiasm got the crowd revved up. His band fea-tured an aggressive two-guitar attack and pulsing rhythm section, to back up a showcase of radio hits from the late 70s and early 80s — “You Really Rock Me,” “Rated X,” “Hot Child In The City,” “The Warrior” (a song Gilder wrote for the band Scandal), and of course, the Sweeney Todd break-out hit from 1975 “Roxy Roller.” And just to cement their hard rock bona fides, they threw in a cover of Deep Purple’s “Highway Star.”

Gilder and Sweeney Todd brought a crowd down to the front of the stage in time for the sec-ond act, Loverboy, and the dance-a-thon got underway. Loverboy powered through a revue of the songs that made them for Canada’s top of the pops in the 1980s — Notorious, Queen of the Broken Hearts, The Kid is Hot Tonight, Working for the Weekend, and the king of them all — “Turn Me Loose.” Featuring the legendary guitar work of Paul Dean and the in your face vocals of Mike Reno, Loverboy was re-warded for their hard-rocking efforts with a shower of bras stagewards at the end of the show.
