MARY CLAYTONAs Western Canada prepares for

record high temperatures this week, Avalanche Canada warns recreation-al backcountry users to be ready for increased avalanche hazard.

The warning issued out of the forecast centre’s office in Revelstoke, applies to all Avalanche Canada fore-cast regions, from the Yukon to the U.S. border and from the Pacific to the Rockies.

The warning is in effect through April 1, at which time the forecasters will reassess.

“We’re expecting this weather to

have a big impact on the snowpack,” said Warning Service Manager Karl Klassen. “Given that many slopes have yet to see a full-blown warm up we are predicting a widespread and varied array of avalanche problems this week including cornice failures, surface-layer avalanches, and failure on deeper persistent weak layers.

“While this is not atypical weather for this time of year, clear-sky days often lead to underestimating hazard and failing to manage risk appropri-ately.”

For the townsmanThe Canadian Can-

cer Society is calling on residents of the East Kootenay to join us and support and celebrate Daffodil Month this April.

When you make a donation, buy a daffodil pin or fresh flowers you will be saving lives and helping people who are living with cancer.

United by the daffo-dil, we show people liv-ing with cancer that they don’t have to face cancer alone and that we won’t give up until all forms of the disease are defeated.

The Daffodil Cam-paign in the Kootenays is ready to kick off, from the Columbia Valley to Creston. Pin boxes can be found at a variety of retailers, fresh daffodils will be for sale this week and we are excited to have one of the biggest door–to–door canvasing campaigns happening in the whole Southern Interior!

Watch out for our volunteers in their blue shirts with their bright blue Daffodil books, pins and flowers. Thank you to our volunteers who dedicate their time.

Last year, thanks to Canadians generous support of Daffodil Month, the Canadian Cancer Society was able to fund $44 million dol-lars in world-class re-search to fight all can-

cers, and help more than 173,000 Canadians through our support ser-vices.

Those 173,000 are comprised of 55,000 through CIS, 30,830 through smoking cessa-tion programs, 35,000 through practical sup-port programs, 5,000 through phone based peer support, 47,000 who visited cancercon-nection.ca (a total of 172,830 rounded up to 173,000 for ease of speech).

While cancer takes a huge toll on Canadians it’s important to remem-ber that progress has been made against this disease. In the 1940s, the survival rate was 25 per cent. Today, over 60 per cent of Canadians diag-nosed with cancer will survive at least five years after their diagnosis. And the survival rates for some cancers are much higher — with childhood cancer at 83 per cent, breast at 88 per cent and prostate at 96 per cent.

Please join us for an Open House, Wednes-day April 13, 1-4 p.m. to celebrate Daffodil Month and the opening of our new office loca-tion.

On March 1 we moved to 202, 105 – 9th Ave in the Labour Centre Building. We are pleased to offer the same ser-vices and resources. We have a variety of infor-

Courtesy Dave PaulsonTwo East Kootenay-based or-

ganizations that work to safe-guard vulnerable young people from gang involvement and pro-tect victims of domestic, sexual and other forms of violence will benefit from government grants totalling $24,943 to support at-risk youth.

This is part of a nearly $7.2-mil-lion provincewide investment— the largest-ever one-time grants investment in community crime prevention in B.C. — combining $5.5 million in provincial Civil Forfeiture Office (CFO) proceeds and $1.69 million from criminal forfeiture proceeds.

East Kootenay recipients:• Ktunaxa/Kinbasket Child

and Family Services Society: $19,943 for its Healing the Young Spirit program. This project will focus on engaging at-risk youth in

pro-social activities through structured recreation activities, as well as re-engagement with cul-ture and traditional knowledge through Aboriginal Elders’ Lenses and Positive Choice Workshops. Recreational activities will be fa-cilitated once per week, cultural activities once per week and posi-tive choices workshops twice a month.

• Fernie Women’s Resource Centre: $5,000 for Workshops around Healthy Relationships and Sexuality. This funding will provide four workshops for front line victim service and violence against women service providers in Fernie on healthy relationships and healthy sexuality with the aim to reduce the incidence of domes-tic and sexual violence. The train-ing will assist workers with safety planning, particularly with youth.

“The Civil Forfeiture Office

takes away the tools and proceeds of crime and puts them back into community programs that pro-mote positive awareness and crime prevention,” Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said. “These grants will support the great work carried out by these great organi-zations for people in the East Koo-tenay.”

In all, more than 250 projects and programs throughout the province will receive a one-time grant. Nearly $2 million is dedi-cated to gang and youth crime prevention, and more than $3.5 million will go to community ser-vices that address violence against women and girls. The remainder will support training and educa-tion for frontline victims service workers, police training and spe-cial equipment, and restorative justice.

Grants help combat gangs, youth crime and violence against women

When the morning sun strikes alpine slopes and cornices, backcountry users should move onto terrain that’s safe from avalanches that start high above and run well into lower elevations. As daytime temperatures rise and the upper layers of the snowpack become moist or wet, recreationists are advised to avoid avalanche terrain completely. “Starting trips in the morning when it’s still cold and before the sun rises, with the goal of being out of avalanche terrain by early afternoon at the lat-est, is a good risk management strategy,” Klassen said.

Everyone in a backcountry party needs to have an avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel. A two-day Avalanche Skills Training 1 course is the minimum training recommended for travelling in avalanche terrain. For current conditions, check www.avalanche.ca.

Submit tedBC Hydro crews will

replace 290 power poles in Cranbrook this year.

The work is part of BC Hydro’s ongoing maintenance program that will see the replace-ment of about 12,000 utility poles over the next several months throughout the prov-ince.

On average, power poles last about 40 to 50 years; however, there are approximately 70,000 wooden poles in the system that have been in service for more than 50 years. Power poles weaken and dete-riorate over time due to adverse weather, insects and wildlife. 

BC Hydro maintains and operates a vast and complex electrical sys-tem in B.C. which in-cludes 900,000 wooden poles that hold more than 58,000 kilometres of overhead distribution lines and 278,000 over-head transformers.

Replacing power poles is one of the in-vestments BC Hydro is making in aging infra-

To ensure the safety

bl aCk PreSSA new directory

compiled by the Office of the Seniors Advocate offers families a chance to compare services of-fered by 292 publicly funded licensed care fa-cilities in B.C.

The B.C. Residential Quick Facts Directory lists services such as nursing, physio and speech therapy, recre-

ation and social work, as well as the total fund-ed direct care hours per resident per day.

The directory also includes “serious ad-verse events” reported under provincial laws for hospital and com-munity care facilities, as well as the date and rea-son of the last inspec-tion.

Another point of

comparison is quality indicator data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information, in-cluding percentage of residents receiving an-ti-depressant or anti-psychotic medication, compared to the pro-vincial average.

The directory is available online at w w w . s e n i o r s a d v o -catebc.ca

mostly with income of less than $40,000 a year. By not including child support in income cal-culation, the govern-ment expects to qualify or increase child care subsidies for about 900 families across B.C.

Families receiving the child care subsidy will also be relieved of the chore of re-applying each year.

For the townsmanThe School District

board of education has expressed disappoint-ment over the provincial budget in a letter that was recently sent to gov-ernment ministers and the premier.

Board chair Frank Lento and the trustees voiced their concerns on issues such as infla-tionary costs, unfunded wage increases, claw-backs stemming from forced administrative savings, among others.

“While we acknowl-edge public education will receive a so-called increase of approxi-mately one per cent in each of the next two years, our Board is ex-tremely disappointed that government con-tinues to choose not to adequately invest in K – 12 Education to ensure future prosperity for the province through a well-educated work force,” said Lento.

Lento says a one-per-cent increase does noth-ing to address inflation-ary costs

such as Hydro and MSP increases, unfund-ed wage increases, sur-prise clawbacks—like year two of the adminis-trative savings demand-ed by government in 2015—, or the infra-structure costs required to accommodate the new provincial report-ing program, MyEduca-tionBC.

According to Lento, Boards must also ad-dress the disappearance of this year’s holdback fund–money the Minis-try of Education tradi-tionally holds back after the initial per student and grant funding has been distributed to Boards of Education. This money is then dis-tributed to Districts late in the budget year and is

used by Districts to ac-commodate mid-year increases in student numbers, special edu-cation needs etc. These funds are commonly built into a Board’s year-ly budget.

Lento says this year’s holdback funds will in-stead be used to fund the influx of nearly 7000 new students attending public schools in the 2016 – 2017 school year — students that govern-ment failed to anticipate in their initial Education Budget. While the prov-ince has promised to fully fund these stu-dents, rather than adjust the Ministry of Educa-tion’s (MoE) Budget to accommodate the in-creased demand placed on public education, Districts are instead forced to forfeit their holdback funding.

Based on the current student projections it is estimated that –in addi-tion to reallocating the Districts’ holdback funds — the Ministry of Finance (MoF) will need to allocate an extra $30 million to the MoE in order for government to meet its commitment to fully fund these stu-dents.

Lento says that if this additional funding is provided, it should not be considered an in-crease to education funding and that the de-cision not to fund the mounting increased

costs to public educa-tion is particularly frus-trating given the 2016 Report on the Budget Consultations has once again indicated that K-12 education is a pub-lic spending priority and that government should recognize and fund the increased costs that school districts have incurred.

According to Lento, the Board cannot un-derstand why, despite BC already having a AAA credit rating and one of the lowest debts among provinces, gov-ernment has chosen to pay down debt faster than scheduled in last year’s budget, essential-ly removing $500 mil-lion from the Provincial Budget that could have been used to better sup-port public education and other essential ser-vices British Columbi-ans pay taxes to support.

“Debt payment is a misguided priority over essential services,” said Lento. “As long as it’s manageable—which BC’s debt is—debt isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s what enables fami-lies to own homes and governments to pay for education, infrastruc-ture and other things we all rely on; things that improve our quality of life now and ensure our kids have a healthy, well-educated and pros-perous future.”

F o r t h e tow n s m a nThe return of warmer tem-

peratures will certainly spring residents into

the mode of spending more time outside, something many City of Cranbrook residents are looking forward to after this winter. With the increase in out-door activities, there often comes an increase in the noise level in your neighbourhood. Residents are asked to be con-siderate of others in the neigh-bourhood when out doing your backyard projects or summer barbeques.

“Noise is interpreted as any unreasonable disturbance not normally expected at any given time of the day or night,” says

Naomi Humenny, Bylaw Ser-vices Officer. “You are running your lawnmower at 10am that is considered reasonable; run-ning your mower at 10pm, not so much.”

A regular complaint fielded by the City Bylaw Enforcement department is barking or howl-ing dogs left unattended in yards all day with the owners often away at work. Other com-mon complaints include home and building construction and in some cases noisy parties. In the case of noisy parties, con-cerned residents should con-tact the RCMP detachment, as parties tend to occur after hours.

In regard to construction, no

person in the City shall under-take any type of construction work before 7am or after 10pm. No construction for profit or gain can be undertaken on a Sunday, without explicit writ-ten approval by the City Engi-neer.

“Residents can carry on their normal outdoor routines during the summer months, with yard work and construction proj-ects,” says Humenny. “We sim-ply ask that you consider your neighbours by keeping the noise to an acceptable level at the acceptable times.”

To review a copy of the City of Cranbrook Bylaw #2612, please visit our website at www.cranbrook.ca.

Be considerate with your noise levels, City of Cranbrook says

Black PressAfter the only B.C. shipyard in

the bidding withdrew, BC Fer-ries has contracted with Remon-towa Ship Repair Yard in Poland for $140 million to upgrade its two Spirit-class ferries.

Seaspan’s Vancouver Ship-yard dropped out after being

chosen as one of the three short-listed bidders. Remontowa, one of Europe’s largest shipyards, is also building three smaller Sal-ish-class ferries to replace aging vessels on the Comox-Powell River and Southern Gulf Islands runs.

Like the new Salish-class

ships, the Spirit of British Co-lumbia and the Spirit of Vancou-ver Island are to be converted to dual-fuel, allowing them to switch from diesel to liquefied natural gas.

The Spirit-class conversions are to begin next year and be completed in 2019.

Ferry refits to be done in Poland

Salish Orca is one of three new mid-sized vessels being built in Gdansk, Poland, where the two Spirit-class vessels will go for refit and conversion to LNG fuel capability next year.

F airy tales are an integral part of childhood.

Who doesn’t have a memory of mum and/or dad reading them a bedtime story about a flying young boy who fights pirates or two siblings who stumble upon a witch in a candy land forest? Or a puppet that longs to be a real boy or a young prin-cess that uses her long hair and help from a prince to escape a tower prison?

These kinds of tales are the ones that captivate the imagination as it usually serves as the intro-duction of structured story telling at a very young age.

Introduce characters, present them with a quest, have them triumph over a villain and everyone lives happily ever after.

However, stories — just like the film in-dustry of the 21st century — seem to have a shelf life, and now others have come along to rewrite that which was written decades or centuries ago, just as Holly-wood is currently rebooting everything it can possibly can.

I’m talking, of course, about the Nation-al Rifle Association’s (NRA) revisionist sto-rytelling of various children’s tales and how the characters within those stories would have fared if they had some weap-ons with them.

For example, thanks to a trusty shotgun, Grandma had a much better fate in the NRA’s version of Little Red Riding Hood than the original story.

In addition to a revisionist retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel have also been rewritten so that the two siblings packed some heat with them when they encountered the witch.

“Have you ever wondered what those same fairy tales might sound like if the

hapless Red Riding Hoods, Hansels and Gretels had been taught about gun safety and how to use firearms?” reads an editor’s note to the Little Red Riding Hood post on the NRA Family website.

In the spirit of rewriting classic chil-dren’s tales, I figured I’d try my hand at Goldilocks. The NRA hasn’t rewritten it yet, so maybe they’ll use it if mine is good enough.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Once upon a time there was a young girl named Goldilocks lost in in a cold, dark forest. Normally, she would’ve been scared, but thanks to a rifle slung on her shoulder — a present from

her uncle, a big supporter of her country’s Second Amendment — she had no reason to fear.

Now Goldilocks had wandering through the woods for quite some time and night was slowly beginning to fall.

Suddenly, through a thicket of trees, Goldilocks saw a house in the middle of a meadow. Hoping to rely on the kindness of strangers for something to eat and a place to sleep, she went up and knocked on the front door.

As she knocked, the door — which wasn’t latched — swung open, so she stepped inside.

Wandering over to the kitchen, she no-ticed three sets at the table with three bowls of porridge.

The setting withe the largest portion was too hot, the one with the smallest was too cold, however, the one in the middle was just right.

When Goldilocks finished, she went upstairs and found a bedroom with three

beds: a large-sized bed, a medium-sized bed and a small-sized bed.

Flopping out on the medium sized bed with her rifle at her side, Goldilocks fell asleep.

She suddenly awoke some time later, hearing the thumping of footsteps coming up the stairs.

She grabbed her rifle and aimed at the door, which swung open, revealing a great big brown bear!

She screamed and pulled the trigger, her rifle discharging a bullet into the bear’s chest.

She heard a great commotion from downstairs and looked through a window to see two other bears in a full gallop away from the house and towards the trees.

The imminent threat to her life over, she stepped over the bear carcass and headed downstairs with her rifle on her shoulder.

As she was heading outside, a truck pulled up to the driveway and a conserva-tion officer stepped out.

She told him what had happened and followed him inside as he went to investi-gate.

“You shot this bear?” he asked.“I was standing my ground,” Goldilocks

replied. “Standing your ground or not, I saw

porridge downstairs in the kitchen,” he said. “You know it’s illegal to bait bears in these parts. Do you have a hunting li-cense?”

“No,” Goldilocks said, staring at her feet. “I’m afraid that’s going to be a hefty

ticket then,” the CO said.Stung by the rebuke, Goldilocks left

house and went back into the woods, where she found a trail back home and lived happily ever after — after she paid her fine.

TAYLOR ROCC ASports Editor

Fans in Kimberley saw a physical opening to the KIJHL champion-ship this past weekend, but Games 1 and 2 were no comparison to what took place in Game 3 Tuesday night in 100 Mile House.

The Wranglers claimed a 5-2 victory to stake out a 2-1 lead in the best-of-series — a series that continues to be mighty physical.

“We didn’t take ad-vantage of our opportu-nities,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kim-berley Dynamiters, over the phone from 100 Mile House Tuesday night. “I thought we outplayed them for two periods and didn’t have the lead we should’ve had. We didn’t take advantage of our power-play oppor-tunities… 5-on-4 we weren’t very good and we didn’t bury our chances.”

Following Game 2, Wranglers coach Dale Hladun said his team needed to be even more physical than they had already shown. Well, it’s safe to say Hladun got his wish in Game 3, though it kept penalty box attendants busy at the South Cariboo Rec Centre.

The Dynamiters were awarded eight power-play opportuni-ties in Game 3 and only managed to cash in once on a 5-on-3 advan-tage to tie the game at 1-1 midway through the second period.

From there, the Wranglers scored three straight goals in the third period to take con-trol of the affair.

Providing scoring for the Dynamiters were Jared Marchi and Jordan Busch, while Tyson

Brouwer made 25 saves between the pipes.

On the other side, Brett Harris, Brady Ward, Justin Bond, Ryan Friesen and Alex Meek-er provided the scoring for the Wranglers, while Zane Steeves was sharp in stopping 37 of the 39 shots sent his way.

The biggest news of the night for the Dyna-miters comes in the loss of defenceman Justin Meier.

The 20-year-old na-tive of Lethbridge and recent commit to the University of James-town’s fledging Ameri-can Collegiate Hockey Association Div. I pro-gram suffered a torn ACL in a first-period collision according to Bancks.

Without question, Meier has played his last game as a Dynamiter.

“We’ve got a resilient group, but of course, it’s a bit of a downer,” Bancks said of losing Meier. “This team cares about each other. It’s more we feel bad for him and Brodie [Buhler, who suffered a sea-son-ending knee injury in Game 2]. Two great kids who have to sit and watch now. It’s more about that than any-thing else.”

The Wranglers opened the scoring when Harris poked a re-bound past a helpless Brouwer in the second period.

The scramble en-sued after Brouwer dove cross crease to make an incredible glove save, denying a glorious scor-ing opportunity for the Wranglers. From there, the bodies piled up and somewhere within the chaos, Harris was able to poke the loose puck through Brouwer for a 1-0 Wranglers lead.

Marchi tied the game with a power-play effort

shortly after.With Tate Page and

Tyler Povelofskie in the penalty box, the Dyna-miters went to work on a 5-on-3 man advantage. After working the puck around the perimeter without much to work with, Richter fed Marchi at the point who stepped into the high slot and sent a wrist shot past Steeves to tie the game 1-1.

Ward restored the Wranglers lead early in the third period.

After an odd-man op-portunity was stopped by Brouwer, the puck trickled through the Dy-namiters goaltender where Ward was able to collect it, circle the net and wrap it home from below the goal line for a 2-1 advantage with 18:28 to go in regulation.

Moments later, Meeker had a glorious opportunity to extend the lead.

After being hauled down on a breakaway, the Wranglers forward was awarded a penalty shot. Skating in on Brou-wer, Meeker worked his way to the left circle be-fore snapping a quick shot that the Nitros goaltender easily knocked down to keep his club within one.

Bond gave the home team a 3-1 advantage with 9:24 remaining in the third period.

Crossing into Kim-berley territory, the Wranglers forward went inside out on a Dyna-miters defender before snapping a quick shot that beat Brouwer high glove side.

Graham Dugdale was served with a five-min-ute major and game mis-conduct for head contact late in the third period, all but killing any oppor-tunity for the Dynamit-ers to draw even with

only 3:48 remaining.“I certainly don’t

support [that kind of hit], he is going to get what he deserves,” Bancks said of Dugda-le’s hit. “That’s the way it is. I’m a believer that as coaches, we’re respon-sible for the safety and well-being, not only of your team, but of the other team as well. You discipline people. Gra-ham knows how I feel about the play he made. That’s what I stand for. I wish we all were like that.”

Dugdale will be un-available for Game 4, and potentially even lon-ger depending on what sort of supplementary discipline the league de-cides to hand down.

On the ensuing man advantage, Friesen took a cross-crease pass from Brett Harris and wasted no time popping it into the open cage for a 4-1 Wranglers lead with only 3:06 left in the third

period.The Nitros were able

to claw back within two goals, but only momen-tarily.

Busch beat Steeves for only the second time on the night with only 51 seconds remaining in regulation, making it a 4-2 game.

But off the next puck drop and with Dugdale’s major penalty still on the board, Meeker went the other way to make it 5-2 with 26 seconds re-maining.

With Dugdale and Meier now unavailable in addition to Buhler, the

Dynamiters are running out of bodies with Game 4 set for Wednesday night and Game 5 on Thursday at the South Cariboo Rec Centre in 100 Mile House. On top of that, rookie James Rota was lost to an upper body injury earlier in the post-season.

Kimberley product Lucas Purdy, 18, is ex-pected to draw into the lineup in place of Meier on the blueline, while affiliates and Kimberley natives Caige Sterzer, 15, and Rylan D’Etcheverry, 17, are available and with the team in 100

Mile House. One of the two will fill Dugdale’s slot on the team’s fourth line.

“You just try to stay positive,” Bancks said of the mindset heading into Game 4. “I thought we played well. Their goalie was phenomenal and sometimes you run into that. You just keep doing what you’re doing.

“We may have to make a few defensive adjustments or move some players around a bit, but this is a resilient group. It’s a great group of kids to work with.”

Ice rookie star Philp looks to build upon first campaignKootenay Ice rookie of the year Noah Philp is looking to improve upon his two-way game heading into sophomore season

Taylor rocca PhoTo

Centre Noah Philp (#15), pictured earlier this season, is looking to build upon a successful first season in the WHL that saw him named Kootenay Ice rookie of the year.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Noah Philp had a pretty big name to live up to when he joined the Kootenay Ice as a 17-year-old rookie to start the 2015-16 cam-paign. Older brother Luke was already enter-ing his fourth full season with the club and had lead the team in scoring with 82 points the previ-ous season.

With 22 points to his credit, the 6-foot-1, 174-pound native of Can-more, Alta., was named rookie of the year for the club, ensuring a strong start to a Western Hock-ey League career that has plenty left ahead of it.

“It was a big accom-plishment, for me, espe-cially coming off a bit of a disappointing year last year in Junior A,” Philp said following his exit meeting with coaches and management. “It was a confidence boost, for sure, but I don’t think it changes any-thing. I still have to come back and be better than I was this year.”

Philp’s first year of ju-nior hockey saw him skate in 31 games with his hometown Canmore

Eagles of the Alberta Ju-nior Hockey League, where he managed one goal and three points.

Totalling six goals and 22 points through 67 major junior games serves as a remarkable improvement upon his Junior A numbers.

While the end of the season reflects well upon the younger Philp broth-er, it wasn’t so bright and shiny early on.

“Open yourself up to coaching — early on, [Philp] was a little bit resistant,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice. “He had an idea of the way he should play the game and was resistant, at times, to change who he was and how he played.

“Towards the end of the year, he started to really buy into some areas that he can im-prove. That has to con-tinue for him.”

As nice as the offence is, the young pivot al-ready has his sights set on improving his two-way game heading into his sophomore season.

“I was talking with the coaches — plus-mi-nus is a big thing for me and I didn’t have a very good one,” Philp said of

his minus-38 rating this season.

“I’d really like to im-prove my plus-minus and see if I can outscore myself [next season].”

The minus-38 rating for Philp, believe it or not, wasn’t the worst on a Kootenay Ice squad that surrendered 165 goals more than it scored. River Beattie rolled in with a team-worst minus-48, while Vince Loschiavo (minus-47) and Troy Murray (minus-39) also found themselves below Philp on the list.

Factoring injuries into the equation and the type of minutes the young Philp was forced to play, particularly early on, it’s tough to place all the blame on the rookie for that rather large number.

As one of 10 first-year players on a team that only managed 155 goals for in 2015-16, Philp’s desire to outscore him-self comes as welcome words.

“We can’t afford to have [sophomore strug-gles] with Noah,” Pierce said. “At the same time, we can’t set the expecta-tion for Noah to be a 25-goal scorer. He had a

decent year with plenty of opportunity, but he needs to be a more complete player away from the puck.

“We’re really trying to focus on improving him as a whole, not nec-essarily focusing on just output. The output stuff with come for him, but he needs to be a really

strong two-way guy that understands sacrifice sometimes for the bet-terment of our overall team.”

Betterment of the overall team is the first goal Philp mentions when asked what he wants to achieve next season.

After a 12-53-6-1

campaign that saw the Kootenay Ice miss the post-season for the first time since 1997-98, there’s nothing Philp wants more than to be back in the race come 2016-17.

“Team goal would be, for sure, to make the playoffs and go some-where with it,” Philp said.

“That’s always what you’re looking to do.

“We’ve got to be harder to play against if we’re not going to be the most skilled team. We definitely have to be one that is a pain for other teams to match up against. That’s some-thing we really need to work on.”

c aNaDIaN PrESS

CALGARY - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau waded into the hockey concussion debate Tuesday, urging the NHL to look at head in-juries “as a very real problem.”

Trudeau was asked for his thoughts on the issue a day after court documents revealed an internal debate by NHL officials over head inju-ries and a deeper con-cern about the impact of fighting than what has been publicly shared by league leadership.

The prime minister said he worries about concussions, especially as a father who has watched his son “brave-

ly get out onto the pond ice, usually with a hel-met on throughout this past winter...”

“Any active player of sports has to be aware of concussions and I cer-tainly hope that the NHL is thinking both of its responsibility to-wards its players and to the example of so many young people who look to the NHL as a dream but may not reach it, and understand the se-verity with which we need to look at concus-sions as a very real prob-lem,” Trudeau said after a roundtable event in Calgary.

More than 100 for-mer NHL players have joined a class action against the league over

its handling of concus-sions.

Spokesman Frank Brown said Tuesday the league’s stance has not changed from commis-sioner Gary Bettman’s comments during the all-star game weekend. Bettman said then that the release of the “out of context” documents would be “a distraction at best” and “not impact the merits of the case.”

Trudeau is a fan of the game and the Mon-treal Canadiens. His predecessor, Stephen Harper, was also an avid fan who occasionally weighed in on hockey issues.

C anadian PressKAMLOOPS, B.C. -

Health Minister Terry Lake is open to allowing a pay-for-plasma clinic in British Columbia, saying the province al-ready gets about 85 per cent of its supply from the United States where donors are paid for blood products.

He says Winnipeg has a clinic and the practice could happen

in B.C., with donors and recipients being assured of the highest-quality practices.

Canadian Plasma Resources is consider-ing opening a clinic in B.C., prompting Lake to consult with Canadian Blood Services, the not-for-profit organization that manages the supply of blood and blood products across the country, except in Que-

bec.The B.C. Health Coa-

lition has called on the province to follow the lead of Ontario and Quebec, which have banned pay-for-plasma clinics.

The federal NDP wants Ottawa to ban plasma clinics, citing safety concerns, after Saskatchewan recently announced plans to open a facility.

Province considers paying donors for blood products

C anadian PressVICTORIA - The Chil-

dren’s Ministry says child support payments will no longer be part of the calculations that deter-mine child care subsi-dies for low-income fam-ilies in British Columbia.

The ministry says the change on Friday will put more money in the pock-ets of about 900 families that become eligible for

subsidies or increases to their existing subsidies.

Families can receive a maximum of $750 a month per child, de-pending on their in-come, size, ages of chil-dren and child care needs.

Children’s Minister Stephanie Cadieux says low-income parents who receive child support payments shouldn’t be

penalized when apply-ing for additional sup-port.

The ministry says the change makes the subsi-dy program fair and effi-cient.

It says 2,400 new li-censed child care spaces have been created since November 2014 and an-other 1,850 spaces are expected by late 2017.

Finding a balance between developing oilsands and meeting climate targets

GiusePPe ValianteCanadian Press

MONTREAL - Cana-da’s environment minis-ter wouldn’t say on Tuesday how her gov-ernment plans to meet its climate change com-mitments and also green-light new pipe-line projects.

Catherine McKenna told reporters after a luncheon speech to the Montreal Council on Foreign Relations that Canada needs to de-car-bonize its economy but stressed it won’t happen overnight.

“We have made a lot of investments in green technology and clean technology and that’s the direction of our gov-ernment,” she said. “But it’s clear we also need jobs.”

Canada has come under increased pres-sure from environmen-talists to explain how the country can contin-ue to develop Alberta’s oilsands and also meet ambitious greenhouse gas emission targets.

The country’s energy industry is forecasting an expansion of the oil-sands to meet growing

world demand.TransCanada wants

to meet part of that de-mand and its Energy East Pipeline proposal would see 1.1 million barrels of oil a day move from Alberta and Sas-katchewan to New Brunswick.

Climate research suggests, however, that most of Canada’s oil-sands need to stay in the ground if world tem-perature increases are to remain below two de-grees Celsius.

Canada’s current cli-

mate goals are to reduce emissions by 30 per cent by 2030 when compared with 2005 levels.

“Look, we need to grow our economy as well,” she said when asked whether Canada can simultaneously re-duce emissions and build pipelines. “You can’t overnight say there is going to be no devel-opment (in the oil sec-tor). But we’re moving in this direction and I think our budget is a very clear step towards that.”

She said her govern-ment is pledging $5 bil-lion over five years to build “green infrastruc-ture” across the country, such as wastewater treatment facilities.

McKenna added the recently tabled federal budget also includes $1 billion over four years for investments in green technology.

“We are going to be in a period of transition but we are moving in that direction,” McKen-na said.

Constitutional challenge of retroactive Tory law on gun registry in limboBruCe Cheadle

Canadian Press

OTTAWA - A constitutional challenge of a retroactive Conser-vative law that got the Mounties off the hook for illegally destroy-ing gun registry records is in limbo.

However three Liberal minis-ters have requested a meeting with federal information commis-sioner Suzanne Legault to discuss the suspended case, suggesting a resolution may be in the works.

Legault is pursuing the court challenge on behalf of Bill Clen-nett, whose 2012 request for gun registry records was ultimately thwarted when the RCMP de-

stroyed the data - in direct viola-tion of the Access to Information Act.

The former Harper govern-ment cleared the Mounties and quashed an investigation into their activities by the Ontario Pro-vincial Police by passing a retro-active law just before Parliament was dissolved last summer.

Legault’s challenge of the con-stitutionality of the retroactive law - which legal scholars say is un-precedented - was set to begin court hearings in December but was suspended for three months at the request of the new Liberal government.

That three-month postpone-

ment has been extended.“On the consent of the parties,

the timetable for the next steps in this litigation has been suspended pending settlement negotiations,” says a notice posted on the Infor-mation commissioner’s web site, dated March 9.

A spokesman for Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said Tuesday that three ministers, in-cluding Goodale, Treasury Board president Scott Brison and Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, have requested to meet Legault to discuss “a mutually satisfactory resolution.” Dan Brien said a date for the meeting has not been con-firmed.

Jobless youth left out of Liberal federal budgetandy BlatChford

Canadian Press

OTTAWA - A notable Liberal election pledge designed to encourage employers to hire young people failed to make the cut in last week’s fed-eral budget.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vowed during last year’s campaign to offer a 12-month holiday on employment insur-

ance premiums to em-ployers who give perma-nent jobs to people aged 18-24.

The promise, an-nounced in September by Trudeau himself, was supposed to come into force this year and ex-tend through 2017 and 2018 - but it didn’t re-ceive a mention in the budget.

During the campaign,

Trudeau noted that the Chretien Liberals did something similar in the late 1990s “to tremen-dously positive effect.”

“We saw the number of young people’s jobs spike during those years,” Trudeau, who is now the federal minister of youth, said during the campaign stop in Burna-by, B.C., with a group of young people behind

him.“That’s exactly what

we need right now given the extremely high un-employment rates for youth.”

Last month, the country’s unemploy-ment rate for youth aged 15 to 24 was 13.3 per cent, compared to 7.3 per cent for people 15 and over.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Reach out to someone at a dis-tance and have a much-needed discussion. Be careful not to be-come inflexible; be prepared to compromise a bit. You’re likely to be in the limelight in the af-ternoon hours, so put your best foot forward. Tonight: A force to be reckoned with. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Is it possible that you and a loved one need to spend more time together? Steer clear of someone who is controlling and who needs to call the shots. You might be concerned about a secret matter leaking. Focus on the big picture. Tonight: Head to a different type of place. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Let others take the lead. You’ll be happy with the results. You’ll probably have to sort through invitations, as your popularity continues to rise. Spend time with someone you care about later in the day. Your caring will be appreciated. Tonight: Togetherness works.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have quite a bit of work to do, and you might want to get an early start. A partner could be stubborn and set in his or her ways. Ignore sharp words if you can. Your nurturing will help calm troubled waters that might surround you. Tonight: Let someone else choose. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your playfulness emerges early in the day and should help you avoid a clash of wills. Pressure builds around a daily matter. Others will present few obsta-cles, except for a random person to whom you are not close. Your nerves easily could be fried. To-night: Work late. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Work from home today if you can. Someone at the office could be determined to micromanage others, and could interfere in your thoughts or activities.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll be slow to get moving to-day. However, once you get into gear, you will be nearly unstop-

pable. Decide to do something that puts a smile on your face. You might have something im-portant to communicate. Don’t worry about what you cannot control. Tonight: All smiles. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Group endeavors are favored today, and meetings will pro-ceed quite smoothly. A behind-the-scenes development could be a bit troublesome. Assume that it’s minor and will pass. You might want to take off early. To-night: Be incognito, and remain willing to vanish quickly. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You need to deal with your responsibilities and career concerns. There could be a dis-agreement with a friend over a monetary issue. Remain flex-ible; you can work it out. Make plans to meet friends for a late lunch. Tonight: Let the late lunch become an early dinner. BORN TODAY Singer Celine Dion (1968), painter Vincent van Gogh (1853), hip-hop artist MC Ham-mer (1962) ***

Dear Annie: I have a beautiful daughter who is in rehab for drug addiction. For the past two years, she has had an abusive boyfriend who also encouraged her drug use. He broke up with her before she entered the facility, but I just discovered that she has been calling him. I want to call the boyfriend and tell him not to accept her calls or I will turn the names of his dealers over to the police. What should I do? -- Worried Mother Dear Mother: Instead of issuing threats, contact the facility and let them know that your daughter is maintaining contact with an abusive, drug-using boyfriend. This is probably against the rules, in which case, they would take away her phone privileges. Ask the facility for help with the drug dealers. This could be dangerous. Then contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) and ask for their help in disentangling your daughter from her abusive relationship. This is not going to be easy, Mom. We hope you can transmit some of your strength to your daughter. Dear Annie: I am writing about the responses to “Please Leave Animals at Home.” I am touched by the people who wrote in support of service animals. I know firsthand the independence they bring through their trained skills. I have been using a service dog since 2001. However, I feel it is important to correct some information that these supporters mentioned. Service animals are defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. They include only dogs or miniature horses. They must have a trained skill that is directly related to the individual’s disability. Emotional support and companionship are NOT service dog skills. Service animals are allowed in all places the public is allowed to go. They are to be under control of their handler and working when in public. Stores cannot require that they ride in shopping carts. When it is not obvious what service an animal provides, only limited inquiries are allowed. Two questions may be asked: (1) Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform. You cannot ask about the person’s disability or demand medical documentation, nor can you ask that the dog demonstrate its ability. Service animals are not required to wear special vests or tags. But they must be harnessed, leashed or tethered, unless this interferes with the animal’s work. The team should have good public behavior. Allergies and fear of dogs are not valid reasons for denying access or refusing service to people using service animals. The rules for visiting therapy dogs or emotional support animals are different. They must have documentation and do not have public access rights. Emotional support animals are addressed under the Fair Housing Act and the Airline Carrier Access Act. Service dogs deserve respect and access for the work they are doing. -- Kristin Hartness, Executive Director, Canines for Disabled Kids Dear Kristin Hartness: We appreciate your clarifying the difference between trained service animals and emotional support animals.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper

1. Advertise to Reach New Customers.Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting.You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Want to reach new customers? We read the newspaper every day, Monday to Friday.

Oscar-winning actress Patty Duke dies at 69Fr azier MooreAssociated Press

NEW YORK - Patty Duke, who as a teen won an Oscar for playing Helen Keller in “The Miracle Worker,” then maintained a long career while battling personal de-mons, has died at the age of 69.

The actress died early Tuesday morning of sepsis from a ruptured intestine, according to her agent, Mitchell Stubbs. She died in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho, where she had lived for the past quarter-century, according to Teri Weigel, the pub-licist for her son, actor Sean Astin.

Duke astonished audiences as the young deaf-and-blind Keller first on Broadway, then in the ac-claimed 1962 film version, appear-ing in both alongside Anne Ban-croft as Helen’s teacher, Annie Sul-livan (who won an Oscar of her own).

Then in 1963, Duke burst on the TV scene starring in her own sit-com, “The Patty Duke Show,” which aired for three seasons. She played dual roles as identical cous-ins Cathy, “who’s lived most every-where,from Zanzibar to Barclay Square” while (according to the theme song) “Patty’s only seen the sights a girl can see from Brooklyn Heights.What a crazy pair!”

In 2015, she would play twin roles again: as a pair of grandmas on an episode of “Liv and Maddie,” a series on the Disney Channel.

“We’re so grateful to her for liv-ing a life that generates that amount of compassion and feeling in others,” Astin told The Associat-ed Press in reflecting on the out-pouring of sentiment from fans at the news of her death.

She had “really, really suffered” with her illness, Astin added. From late last week until early Tuesday morning, he said, “was a really, really, really hard process. It was hard for her, it was hard for the people who love her to help her....”

But throughout her life, she was “a warrior,” he said. “You watch this 4-foot-10, tiny imp of a lady who’s more powerful than the greatest military leaders in histo-ry.”

Born Anna Marie Duke in the New York borough of Queens on Dec. 14, 1946, she had a difficult childhood with abusive parents. By 8 years old she was largely under the control of husband-and-wife talent managers who kept her busy on soap operas and advertising displays.

In the meantime, they supplied her with alcohol and prescription

drugs, which accentuated the ef-fects of her undiagnosed bipolar disorder.

In her 1988 memoir, “Call Me Anna,” Duke wrote of her condi-tion and the diagnosis she had gotten only six years earlier, and of the subsequent treatment that helped stabilize her life. The book became a 1990 TV film in which she starred, and she became an activist for mental health causes, helping to de-stigmatize bipolar disorder.

With the end of “The Patty Duke

Show” in 1966, which left her ste-reotyped as not one, but two squeaky-clean teenagers, Duke at-tempted to leap into the nitty-grit-tiness of adulthood in the 1967 melodrama “Valley of the Dolls,” in which she played a showbiz hope-ful who falls prey to drug addic-tion, a broken marriage and shat-tered dreams.

The film, based on the bestsell-ing Jacqueline Susann pulp novel, was critically slammed but a com-mercial sensation.

During her career she would win three Emmy Awards, for the TV film “My Sweet Charlie,” the miniseries “Captains and the Kings” and the 1979 TV remake of “The Miracle Worker,” in which Duke played Annie Sullivan with “Little House on the Prairie” ac-tress Melissa Gilbert as Keller.

“I know she’s in a better place. I will miss her every day but I will find comfort in the words of Helen Keller: ‘The best and most beauti-ful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart,”’ Gilbert wrote in tribute.

In the 1980s, she starred in a trio of short-lived sitcoms: “It Takes Two,” ”Karen’s Song“ and ”Hail to the Chief,“ cast as the first

female president of the United States.

“Her career ebbed and flowed,” said Sean Astin, her son with her third husband, actor John Astin, “and sometimes she was stressed about it and sometimes she was at peace with it. And then she’d get to do something that she could sink her teeth into, that reminded her of what she was capable of.”

In addition to her acting career, Duke served as the president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1985 to 1988.

She starred in several stage pro-ductions, including a return to Broadway in 2002 to play Aunt Eller in a revival of the musical “Oklahoma!”

By then, she already had spent a dozen years living in Idaho with her fourth husband, Michael Pearce (who survives her), seeking refuge from the clutter, noise and turmoil of big cities, and from the tumultuous life she had weathered in the past.

In describing the role of Aunt Eller, and perhaps herself, to The Associated Press, she said, “This is a woman who has had strife in life, made her peace with some of it and has come to the point of ac-ceptance. Not giving up.”

Alaska volcano keeps spewing ashDan Joling

Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - An Alaska volcano kept pumping out new ash Tuesday that could threaten aircraft, but it came in smaller amounts at lower heights, according to the Alas-ka Volcano Observatory.

Pavlof Volcano, 625 miles southwest of Anchorage on the Alaska Peninsula, erupted Sun-day. The initial eruption con-tinued for about 17 hours and put out an ash cloud that reached 37,000 feet.

The plume blew northeast and by Tuesday had reached Canada, but Dave Schneider, a U.S. Geological Survey geo-physicist at the observatory, said activity had calmed from the continuous eruptive phase.

“Over the last six to eight hours the activity is more inter-mittent,” he said. “There are short duration, small explosive events that are occurring, as opposed to sort of a continu-ous plume.”

The original ash cloud crossed Bristol Bay, spread into interior Alaska, and stretched into northern Canada, said Don Moore, meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service Alaska Aviation Weath-er Unit.

“The extent of the plume is certainly greater but the con-centration of the ash is becom-ing less,” Moore said. “The plume is becoming thinner over time.”

Volcanic ash is angular and sharp and can cause a jet en-gine to shut down. Alaska Air-lines cancelled 41 flights within the state Monday, and 28 more Tuesday.

The volcano in the 8,261-foot mountain is one of Alas-ka’s most active. It has had 40 known eruptions.

Pavlof eruptions in the past 20 years have not been as in-tense, but the current eruption is not unprecedented for the volcano, Schneider said.

The length of the eruption was a major factor in the size of the ash cloud, Schneider said. So were the winds and possibly

the smaller size of the ash, which takes longer to fall out of the atmosphere.

The observatory took re-ports of ash fall, which can be hazardous to eyes, skin and breathing passages, from sev-eral communities.

USGS geologist Kristi Wal-lace said the most significant was in Nelson Lagoon, a village of 39 people about 55 miles northeast of the volcano. Resi-dents reported one-eighth to two-thirds of an inch of ash.

Cpl. Barrett Taylor saw ash falling at 1:30 a.m. Monday.

“It was raining ash for a little bit,” Taylor said. “It turned ev-

erything black, the rooftops, the fuel tanks, homes.”

The community has put out a health advisory to stay inside until Wednesday. He’s hoping strong wind or rain will sweep some of it away.

“I actually saw an eagle land on the grass today, and as he landed, a big pile of ash came up and flew away. It’s still there,” he said.

Pat Walsh, a wildlife biolo-gist for the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge, saw ash 25 miles west of Dillingham as a grey haze as he tracked wolves from the air in the refuge. He could also see traces of ash in fresh wolf tracks and in the snow.

“It looks like dirty snow,” he said.

Tisha Christensen, a health aide at the clinic in Port Heiden, said grey ash mixed with snow fell Monday night in the com-munity on the Bering Sea side of the Alaska Peninsula.

It affected her 8-year-old son, who has asthma but tried going to school Tuesday.

“He didn’t even make it a half hour and had to come home and have a nebulizer treatment,” she said.

Only trace amounts of ash had been reported from Pavlof eruptions since 1996.

In the past, the volcano has erupted intermittently over months or shut off abruptly.

Pavlof Volcano erupted Saturday, but continues to spew ash.

Pigs help shed light on how

humans decomposegeorDon oManD

Canadian Press

VANCOUVER - Criminologists at a British Columbia uni-versity are exploring uncharted waters with a first-of-its-kind study that monitors decom-posing pig carcasses to better understand how human bodies break down hundreds of me-tres underwater.

The Simon Fraser University study, pub-lished earlier this month in the journal PLOS ONE, revealed the decaying process at depth is dramatically different than what takes place in shallower Pacific waters.

The study’s authors, forensic specialists Gail Anderson and Lynne Bell, said the results stand to help investiga-tors learn more about bodies that are recov-ered at depth.

The pair’s research involved strapping the bodies of several pigs to metal grates and sub-merging them 300 me-tres via submarine to be deposited beneath a pre-existing monitor-

ing installation.Pig bodies can last

weeks or even months when deposited near the ocean’s surface, said Anderson in an in-terview, but at 300 me-tres they’re whittled down to bone in as few as three days.

She described video footage showing a colo-ny of amphipods, com-monly known as sea lice, swarm the ani-mals’ bodies and drive away other scavengers, such as spot prawns and crabs.

“They just covered the bodies in four-to-five-inches-deep layers of amphipods, which just inhaled - basically ate - the entire carcass, inside out,” she said.

“Once in a while a fish would swim over the top and knock some of the amphipods off and you’d see the skin was still intact, so they were going in through the orifices and remov-ing all the soft tissue. And they did that in three to four days, de-pending on the sea-son.”
