Drum roll please.The final voting results

are in and the winner of the Kootenay West riding is still Katrine Conroy.

The final count, which includes absentee ballots that were not considered part of the initial count, was completed this week by the district electoral offi-cer at the election office on McQuarrie Street in East

Trail.In the initial count,

which is preliminary and only includes ballots cast under general voting and advance voting, NDP incum-bent Conroy received 10,606 votes or 62.99 per cent of the popular vote.

Although, no big sur-prises were expected in the Kootenay West riding, dis-trict electoral officer Don Vinish, said absentee bal-lots could conceivably have

changed the outcome, but this time around, it is status quo.

Conroy received an addi-tional 743 votes from absen-tee ballots, which tallies to 11,349 or 63.04 per cent of the final vote count.

Jim Postnikoff, BC Liberal Party candidate, received an additional 239 votes which upped his percentage to 21.33 from 21.28 per cent of support on voting day.

Interestingly, Glen Byle,

independent, received an additional 31 votes, to bring his final count to 431. Those votes only increased his per-centage of the popular vote from 2.38 to 2.39.

Joseph Hughes, independent, received 152 votes cast through absentee ballots, but according to the Elections BC website, this diminished his percentage of the popular vote to 13.28, from 13.3 on election day.See related story on Page 4.

The City of Trail and Ashland Training Centre (ATC) have embarked on a team project to provide needed job skills to some local residents while cleaning up some of the overgrown areas of the city.

The city and ATC teams are focusing on two community projects in the area.

The initial project has a team cut-ting dead brush and removing debris, old shrubbery, and accumulated pine needles on the hillside directly below the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital

and above a portion of the East Trail neighbourhood.

The second project on the books will see the joint teams carrying on with general brush clearing and cleanup and also include cutting back overgrown vegetation from the city’s 50 covered staircases throughout Trail.

After the first two weeks of work progress is already obvious as the team cleans up the forest floor, removing potential fire hazards before the sum-mer heats up.

“When I first saw the area that they’d

be working in I thought, ‘good luck,’” said ATC program coordinator, Kathleen Jackson. “But you can already see a pretty big improvement.”

The 10-week Job Options BC WORC (Work Opportunities Referrals and Connections) Program, is jointly fund-ed by the federal and provincial gov-ernments from the Canada/BC Labour Market agreement.

The program provides local unem-ployed individuals with six weeks of employment training workshops,

The glass is almost full for the Village of Montrose as the final stages of its water treat-ment project began earlier this week,

The on-line chlorin-ation process began on Tuesday, and for village residents, this change to the tap water will most likely be notice-able.

As the tap water reaches “official” water quality, it may taste or smell a little odd, explained Kevin Chartres, chief administrative officer for the village.

“Changes in both taste and odour will obviously be more noticeable because the sys-tem was previously un-chlorinated.”

Chartres said that in addition, while the chlorine works to clean the inside of the pipes, the taste and odour will be more noticeable until a free residual of chlorine is maintained.

He said it will take some time to obtain a consistent level of chlorine in the system, and levels could fluctuate from 0.2 to 1.5 parts per million (ppm), but ultimately the regulation requires 0.2 mg of chlorine per litre of water at the end of the lines.

“After a few weeks, most consumers will eas-ily adjust to the difference,” he added.

For those who continue to notice the chlor-ine taste, the village suggests that drinking

B y T i m e s s T a f fThe search for a

missing Trail man is on hold as RCMP await more equipment before continuing.

Sgt. Darryl Little of the Kootenay Boundary Regional Detachment told the Trail Times on Wednesday, the RCMP is awaiting sonar equipment to aid in the search for 32-year-old Michael Guthrie of Trail.

“The sonar equip-ment is being tested and should arrive later in the week,” he said in an email reply.

Guthrie is pre-sumed drowned at Little Wilson Lake near New Denver.

On Saturday, Slocan Lake RCMP attended

the scene and spoke with two Trail men who were camping with Guthrie.

At that time, it was determined that Guthrie had been fish-ing with one of the men in the canoe, according to Nakusp/Slocan Lake RCMP Cpl. Ryan Fehr.

“The canoe capsized and both men entered the water; one was able to swim to shore (while) the other is presumed drowned,” he explained in a press release issued Sunday.

Little explained that serach and res-cue crews are available but were not deplyed on Wednesday and no helicopter will be used at this point.

He added the search

is concentrated on the lake based on accounts from the other boater who was in capsized canoe.

The sonar equip-

ment required testing due to the conditions at Little Wilson Lake, which is described as a high-alpine location and very cold water at

this time of year.The lake is approxi-

mately 63 acres in size with an average depth of 39 feet, with areas over 80 feet in depth.

Police await equipment to continue search for Trail man

including resume writing, interview skills, job search training, and basic computer skills.

The participants then get four weeks direct work experience on a community based project to provide them with hands-on work experi-ence and job skills.

“We generally work with people who are new to the workforce; mothers who may have been home raising a family for a long time or kids just out of high school with no real work experience,” said Jackson.

“That and people who may have

been out of the workforce for a long time and are struggling to get back into regular work.”

The projects offer benefits to the community on a number of fronts.

“We saw partnering with Ashland as a huge opportunity for all parties involved,” says Larry Abenante, city public works manager.

“The City can source out pro-jects that need to be completed, whereas the workers get the chance to learn new skills to prepare them for future jobs.

“Who knows, we may even see them working for the city one day.”

Normal notice will be issued when water meets provincial requirements

FROM PAGE 1water be chilled in the refrigerator before consumption.

Also, residents can purchase products with activated carbon filtration which will remove most of the chlorine and its by-products.

Chartres said that careful monitoring of the disinfection process and of resid-ual chlorine levels

ensure that consumer complaints are mini-mized.

A “Water Condition Normal Notice” will be issued when the drinking water official is satisfied the water quality meets the requirements issued by the BC Drinking Water Protection Regulation.

Since February 2011, the village has been on a “Boil Water

Notice” imposed by Interior Health Authority because sample tests detected persistent low levels of total coliforms, a bacterial indicator of water contamination.

The majority of the coliforms were recorded at the well site, however the dis-tribution system also revealed the presence of coliforms during sampling.

Community consultation on Charles Bailey Theatre business plan tonight

B y S h e r i r e g n i e rTimes Staff

A plan to rid the City of Trail of its pigeon population has been grounded.

On Monday night, coun-cil passed a motion to defer any action on pigeon con-trol measures,citing budget-ary deficiency and significant cost associated with its latest proposal.

David Perehudoff, chief administrative officer, noted that there was very little inter-est in the city’s latest request for proposal for pigeon control from a qualified pest control service.

Only one proposal was sub-mitted, and at a cost of $42,000, the latest option proved too costly, exceeding the 2013 budget by $17,000.

West Kootenay Pest Control (WKPC) from Trail submitted a plan that recommended live trapping and euthanasia.

WKPC also recommended

that all the openings on the Victoria Street Bridge arches be closed using netting to prevent pigeon nesting.

Although the Ministry of Transportation covered some of the openings, the majority remain open.

Perehudoff said that this cost could be substantial and was not included within the WKPC proposal.

He explained that even if the proposal was completed for the price quoted, the pigeon popu-lation would continue to pose an ongoing issue.

“It is important to note that while they (WKPC) are sug-gesting they can do this for one year, the population will continue to grow.

“Whereby the city will have to continue to retain them for a number of years.”

Further, Warren Proulx, engineering manager for the city said in a letter to the city that WKPC estimated a two

month time-line would reduce the pigeon population, but the solution would only be tempor-ary.

“Elimination of 100 per cent of the pigeons may be impos-sible and can only work if the bridge openings are netted and our citizens refrain from feed-ing the pigeons,” explained Proulx.

Coun. Sean Mackinlay said that he is happy to see the pigeon issue put on the back burner for the year.

“In my mind this has been a colossal waste of staff time.”

However, not all council agreed with the deferral.

“We are starting our Trail market on June 7 on the esplanade,” said Coun. Eleanor Gattafoni-Robinson.

“So we will be testing the waters on how many pigeons will be there,” she said.

“Because you have to be there to see them, not one or two, there is many.”

It was an expansive project and long time coming, but the results are finally in.

Tonight at the Fruitvale Memorial Hall, open to the pub-lic at 7 p.m., the Lower Columbia Initiatives Corporation (LCIC) will unveil the results of its year long business retention and expansion project.

“We’ve completed 147 inter-views and processed all that information,” said Terry Van Horn, LCIC coordinator.

“Now we are rolling it out to you.”

Included in the study are exist-ing businesses in the commun-ities of Trail, Rossland, Fruitvale, Montrose and Warfield.

Van Horn said that process itself was extensive and initially she was met with some resistance by a few of the local businesses.

“So many times we heard, “oh yeah another survey that nothing is going to get done about,”” she said.

“We heard, “why should we help you?””

Van Horn explained that the LCIC made a commitment to the business owners that they would host a series of forums to present and discuss the results of its

97-question survey.“We are committed to report

all our findings to the busi-ness community and public,” explained Van Horn.

“And then we are going to take the recommendations and incorporate them into future initiatives so the businesses can continue to prosper.”

The business retention and expansion survey is intended to provide an in-depth view of busi-ness sectors; current climate of business development; antici-pated future growth; barriers to growth; and a basis for future economic development strat-egies.

Although businesses in the region are planning significant investment, $60 million, over the next five years, a lack of skilled staff was commonly cited as a barrier to its expansion.

In addition, many respondents reported issues with retaining employees and that recruitment of new employees proved to be a challenge.

“We heard a lot about the challenges businesses had with recruiting people with specific skills,” said Van Horn.

“And we heard a lot about bringing in skilled guys and then having them jump ship.”

The new owners of the Elk Falls mill site have yet to make a formal announcement, but there’s already speculation it could become a liqui-fied natural gas (LNG) plant.

“We can’t offer a lot of details right now,” said David Erdman of Quicksilver Resources. “Our intent is to start a feasibility study on suitable uses. It could include LNG, working with potential partners.”

On Friday, Catalyst Paper announced it had finally sold the former pulp and paper mill site to to Quicksilver Resources of Canada Inc. for $8.6 million.

Quicksilver Resources is based in Fort Worth, Texas, while its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary is located in Calgary. The private company has about 500 employ-ees in Canada and the U.S., and explores for, produces and acquires natural gas and oil reserves.

“I think it’s excellent news,” said Vic Goodman, executive director of Rivercorp, Campbell River’s eco-nomic development agency. “We’ll be working with (Quicksilver) to re-establish the industrial tax base – it’s time to put that valuable property to good use.”

Goodman wouldn’t say what the 400-acre industrial site will be used for, only that Quicksilver will be releasing more information in the coming weeks.

However, with a plentiful sup-ply of relatively cheap natural gas and a deep-water port, rumours abound Elk Falls could become an LNG plant. That would hardly be a surprise. There are already six proposals to build LNG plants in Kitimat and Prince Rupert, and last month the province announced there are proposals for another four plants in B.C.

Building a new LNG plant at Elk Falls would cost billions. For example, in Melford, Nova Scotia, the Indian company H-Energy is planning to build a $3-billion LNG plant and export terminal capable of exporting 1.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.

In a phone interview Tuesday from his office in Fort Worth, Erdman said Quicksilver would need to form partnerships and a consortium if it pursues the LNG route.

Elk Falls opened as a pulp and paper mill in 1952 and was perma-nently closed by Catalyst Paper in 2010.

Final vote counts for the Premier’s rid-ing of Vancouver-Point Grey trickled in and then were added up on Tuesday, and Christy Clark’s loss to the NDP’s David Eby became official.

Eby ended up with 47.59 per cent of the final vote and won by a margin of 1,063.

Premier Clark will now ask or wait for a Liberal MLA to stand aside and force a by-

election in another rid-ing the province, one safe enough for her to win, so she can take her seat in the British Columbia Legislature.

Clark and the BC Liberals stormed to a surprising major-ity government in the provincial election on May 14.

“Well, that was easy,” she said, her first words from the podium after her party’s vic-tory. “Tonight, we have received a mandate from the people of

British Columbia.“I say to the citizens

of British Columbia, you have humbled us tonight with this opportunity and the tremendous obligation you’ve placed on our shoulders.

“We will hon-our what you have bestowed on us... Together, together, we will make British Columbia better.”

Final vote counts in other ridings con-firmed another Liberal win Surrey-Fleetwood, which was won by now-MLA and former

Langley mayor Peter Fassbender.

Jane Shin also con-firmed her victory in

Burnaby-Lougheed, beating Liberal candi-date Ken Kramer by 743 votes.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SMONTREAL - Authorities say they’ve put

a dent in the next generation of organized crime with a sweeping series of drug-traf-ficking arrests Thursday.

Police say the 20 people arrested in raids had been plying their trade in Montreal’s east-end and were looking to grow their business.

Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere described the group as up-and-comers, with the average age of those arrested being around 30.

“We are talking about young people who are taking the place of other people that have been there,” said Lafreniere, a senior Montreal police spokesman.

The other notable element is that, while the group is allegedly linked to the Italian Mafia, he said it doesn’t have any affiliation to a specific clan, like the Rizzutos.

Organized crime has been in a state of flux in the last few years with a series of attacks against Mafia-linked figures and ana-lysts have wondered whether anyone was in charge.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SKUGLUKTUK, Nunavut - A young boy’s

death has inspired a remote Arctic commun-ity to adopt a unique response to the problem of gas-sniffing.

People in Kugluktuk along the central Arctic coast are locking up gas containers in tough wooden boxes to keep them away from young people bent on inhaling fumes to get high.

Northerners depend on snow machines and quads to get around, and gasoline jerry cans are commonly stored in people’s yards where sniffers can get at them.

But after a young teenager died last sum-mer from inhaling fumes, the community decided something had to be done.

Carpenters built 121 rugged wooden boxes that can be locked up tight and have distrib-uted them throughout the community.

parties, elected offi-cials and the telemar-keter used by the elu-sive “Pierre Poutine” to make fraudulent telephone calls during the 2011 federal elec-tion have been slapped with hefty fines for breaking the rules for robocalls.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission made the surprise announce-ment Wednesday that it has dished out a combined $369,000 in penalties as part of a wide-ranging investi-gation into the use of robocalls.

The regulator also hinted at more fines in the offing.

The federal Conservatives and NDP, Ontario’s Progressive C o n s e r v a t i v e s , Alberta’s Wildrose Party, Liberal MP Marc Garneau, Conservative MP Blake Richards and Edmonton-based RackNine Inc. were all fined for various offences.

The penalties run from a few thousand dollars for Garneau up to $90,000 for Wildrose - the lar-gest amount ever lev-ied against a political party by the CRTC.

So far, the regula-tor says, Wildrose, the Ontario Conservatives, the NDP, RackNine and Garneau have all paid their fines.

The federal Conservative party,

which was fined $78,000, and Richards, who was fined $14,400, have yet to pay the penalty and have 30 days to do so.

“We appreciate the co-operation we received during our investigations,” CRTC chief compliance offi-cer Andrea Rosen said in a statement.

“We expect pol-itical party associa-tions and candidates who are running for office to put appropri-ate safeguards in place to ensure compliance with the Unsolicited Telecommunications Rules in future cam-paigns.”

Fred DeLorey, a Conservative party spokesman, said the fine would be paid Wednesday.

“We appreciate that the CRTC is clarify-ing rules for all federal political parties and applying them across the board,” he said in a statement.

“We co-operated fully with the CRTC when this matter was brought to our atten-tion by meeting with them and providing all documents they requested.

“We will be pay-ing the fine today and we will be seek-ing the CRTC’s assist-ance in ensuring that our compliance pro-gram is appropriate and comprehensive to ensure we completely comply with the rules in the future.”

Last week, Wildrose said it paid a $90,000 penalty imposed by federal regulators for violating automated phone call rules in 2011, as well as before, during and after the April 2012 provincial election.

However, the other fines came as a sur-prise.

The Conservative party was fined for a robocall campaign in Saskatchewan between Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 related to pro-posed changes to riding boundaries. People were not told the calls were being made on behalf of the Conservatives, nor was a mailing address provided, the regula-tor said.

The New Democrats were fined $40,000 for robocalls made between Jan. 11 and Jan. 20, 2012, in the Quebec electoral dis-trict of St-Maurice-Champlain, after MP Lise St-Denis defected to the Liberals. As with the Conservative calls, the NDP did not identify itself as being behind the calls or include a mailing address or telephone number.

The NDP admitted that it did not identify itself during the calls.

RackNine was fined $60,000 for 15 robo-call campaigns it con-ducted for “a number of clients” between March 2011 and Feb. 1, 2013.

RackNine was caught up in the so-called robocalls affair, in which a shadowy operative known only as Pierre Poutine used the company to make thousands of calls on

election day directing voters in Guelph, Ont., to the wrong polling stations.

The company has denied having any-thing to do with the fraudulent calls.

CrTC hands out hefty fines for robocalls


OPINION

B.C.’s gas plan is a short-sighted pipe dreamB.C. appears to be

pinning its eco-nomic hopes on natural gas –

much of it obtained by hydraulic fracturing (frac-king). While the world should be turning from fossil fuels to cleaner energy and conservation, we’re poised to dig our-selves deeper into the climate-altering carbon hole.

Taking a cue from the liquidation-sale policies of the Alberta and federal governments, B.C.’s lead-ers want to get fossil fuels out of the ground, piped to the coast, liquefied and shipped to Asia or wher-ever they can find buyers, as quickly as possible. It’s a short-sighted plan based on outmoded thinking. In the long run, it’s not good for the economy or the environment.

Whether politicians believe fossil fuel supplies are endless or can only see as far as the next election, they’re selling out our future and leaving a shat-tered legacy for our kids and grandkids. To start, natural gas is not the clean-energy solution it’s touted to be. According

to the Pembina Institute, if only five of 12 proposed liquefied natural gas ter-minals were built on the B.C. coast, they could spew 63-million tonnes of carbon a year into the atmosphere – exceeding the amount now produced by the Alberta oil sands and equal to all of B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2010. Discharges of par-ticulate matter and vola-tile organic compounds would also be significant new sources of pollution.

Liquefying the gas for export, which requires enormous amounts of energy, isn’t the only source of greenhouse gases. Leaks – or what the industry refers to as “fugi-tive emissions” – during drilling, extraction and transport are also con-cerns. Although the B.C. Environment Ministry claims just 0.3 to 0.4 per cent of gas escapes into the atmosphere, independent studies say it’s likely many times that amount.

According to an arti-cle in Nature, scientists from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the University of Colorado in

Boulder found leaks of methane – a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide – amounted to between 4 and 9 per cent of total pro-duction at two gas fields in the U.S.

Even the economic benefits of the province’s LNG plans are suspect. Many analysts expect price corrections, and U.K. LNG expert Peter Hughes told the CBC the perceived windfall is “wishful think-ing” because B.C. will have to compete with producers in places like Qatar, East Africa and Australia. Most of the money wouldn’t even stay in B.C., as many gas companies are from other provinces and coun-tries. As for jobs, natural

gas extraction, transport and production create relatively few compared to almost every other eco-nomic sector – including tourism, science and tech-nology, healthcare, educa-tion and small business.

On top of that, fracking – shooting water, sand and chemicals at high pres-sure into the ground to shatter shale and release natural gas – has many other environmental con-sequences. It requires massive amounts of water, contaminates drinking water, damages habitat and ecosystems – even causes small earthquakes!

As well as seeing nat-ural gas as an econom-ic panacea, some argue it could be a “bridging fuel” – something cleaner than oil or coal to use while we make the transi-tion to renewable energy. But it’s a hazard-strewn bridge, and subsidizing and investing in natural gas extraction and infra-structure without any real commitment to wean us off oil, coal and gas will only keep us on the fos-sil fuel road and discour-age investment in clean energy and conservation.

The industry also relies on taxpayers’ money to subsidize it, through tax and royalty credits, and to provide water, roads and the massive amounts of energy required to liquefy the gas, perhaps from a new Site C dam on the Peace River. And fugitive emissions from gas oper-ations are exempt from the carbon tax. If we are really “bridging” to reduce fossil fuels, why are we subsidizing companies for their carbon costs?

It’s time to invest our money and human resour-ces in long-term, innova-tive ideas that will create good, lasting jobs, and ensure that we and our children and grandchil-dren continue to enjoy healthy and prosperous lives and that our spec-tacular “supernatural” environment is protect-ed. We have abundant renewable resources and opportunities to conserve energy and lead the way in developing clean energy. It’s time to move forward.

Over 1,300 people, mostly female garment workers, have been killed in the collapse of a building in Bangladesh which housed factories making clothes for Primark, Matalan, Mango, Bonmarche and other major brands.

Over 2,000 more individuals have been injured in one of the worst industrial disasters of recent times. Wal-Mart denies having any authorized produc-tion at the Rana Plaza factory, but one of the Rana Plaza fac-tories, Ether Tex, listed Wal-Mart as a customer on its web-site.

The Rana Plaza collapse follows a fire at the Tazreen Fashion factory on the out-skirts of Dhaka that killed 112 people in November, further compounding concerns about worker safety and low wages in Bangladesh. (www.guardian.co.uk)

After the November fire brands like Wal-Mart refused to sign a new union-proposed safety plan, which would have introduced more rigorous safe-ty inspections, saying it was “not financially feasible.” www.

theatlantic.com Wal-Mart also refused to compensate victims and their families, even though it was apparently the Tazreen factory’s largest buyer. www.demoncracynow.org

After the recent disaster in the Rana Plaza factory, the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh was signed by the world’s leading clothing brands, but Wal-Mart refuses to sign the agreement, stating that the agreement, “introduces requirements, including governance and dis-pute resolution mechanisms, on supply chain matters that are [should be] left to retailers, suppliers and government, and are unnecessary to achieve fire and safety goals.” (www.wal-mart.com)

Not only will Wal-Mart not sign the Fire and Building Safety agreement, they also have attempted to undermine this vital initiative. But it is not too late for Wal-Mart to join this agreement! Let’s put pressure on Wal-Mart to do the right thing!

Wal-Mart, and other large corporations, makes huge prof-

its off the backs of workers in factories like these. Bangladesh factories are used by major cor-porations because the people there are paid only $.14 - $.25 an hour! These workers don’t make a livable wage working seven days a week, and cer-tainly can’t afford one day a week off to spend with their families! It is time to hold major Corporations like Wal-Mart responsibility for their actions. Let’s work to ensure justice for workers!

Please take action now and call on Wal-Mart to sign the Bangladesh Fire and Building Safety Agreement to prevent the future deaths of garment workers. It is such a simple action which would save so many lives. Let Wal-Mart know we are willing to pay the $.20 a garment to ensure these disas-ters do not continue. Your sup-port is vital. Please stand for justice on June 1st – thank you!

We plan to picket in Nelson June 1, 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. We plan to picket in Trail June 1 from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m.

An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press

Canada is sporting a black eye these days in international construction circles on account of SNC-Lavalin’s reputation for bribing public officials. The deeper the police dig into the engineering and construction firm’s records, the more signs they are finding of slipshod financial management.

The state of SNC’s reputa-tion was crystallized in mid-April when the World Bank, the Washington, D.C.-based agency that finances large-scale projects in developing coun-tries, banned the firm from its projects for the next 10 years. The ban was the result of a negotiation in which SNC agreed not to contest charges it had attempted to bribe pub-lic officials in Bangladesh and Cambodia. Police are also inves-tigating the firm’s payments to public officials in Libya and Montreal.

SNC appointed a new chief executive officer, Andrew Card, and a new board chairman, Ian Bourne, to clean up the firm’s act. They have created a new compliance department to stop the executives from offering bribes and robbing the com-pany. If the firm can no longer win contracts through corrup-tion, it may have to compete on price and skill -- and there is no telling how it will perform in that context.

The company’s public dis-course these days is all about

how it has reformed itself and put the old scandals behind it. But the World Bank’s 10-year ban expresses legitimate skep-ticism about how quickly this leopard can change its spots. SNC is a huge organization, reporting $8 billion of gross revenue in 2012. The corrup-tion charges the firm is not contesting involve conduct of senior executives. It is reason-able to suppose that their con-duct, continuing over many years, reflected to some extent the wishes of their masters and the culture of the organ-ization. Card and Bourne face the daunting task of changing that organizational culture and teaching all their people a new way of making money for the shareholders.

All Canadians should wish them well. SNC has been a huge, proud Canadian presence in the hydro-electric stations, the highways, the power trans-mission systems, the bridges, the complex construction sites of the world. It has given this country a capacity to manage and complete ambitious under-takings, both for the benefit of the professionals who do the work and for the users. Canada will be the poorer if SNC proves unable to compete and has to curtail its activities. Canadian governments may then have to call in firms from other coun-tries to manage their most dif-ficult projects.

Information about the skul-duggery at SNC is coming out

in dribs and drabs as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police sift through the records and inter-view witnesses. Most recently, the RCMP won a Quebec court order freezing some Montreal houses and condominiums on the basis that they appear to be proceeds of crime.

The police theory is the SNC executives who were paying the bribes overseas skimmed some of it off for themselves and invested the proceeds in real estate.

The firm’s financial records are so obscure it is hard to fol-low the trail. It is also hard to tell how much the top manage-ment knew about the bribery and diversion of funds that was apparently being carried out under their noses.

For the benefit of Canadian business, the full story of SNC and how it went off the rails needs to be told. In the trad-ition of Canadian criminal prosecutions, it is possible a few people will plead guilty to subordinate matters such as tax evasion so that there will never be a criminal trial or a public airing of the prosecution’s case and the defence answer.

That result would leave Canadians guessing who did what to whom and who paid for it and would pave the way for another great Canadian institu-tion to blunder into a similar ethical morass. The greatest public good will be served by the greatest public disclosure of the SNC story.

AIKEN (NEE HACKETT), CON-STANCE ANNE — (August 20, 1932 – May 17, 2013)

You probably know her as Connie. Connie was born in Taber, Al-berta on August 20th 1932 to Eileen and John Hackett. Eileen raised Connie along with her brother John (Sonny) and sisters Shirley and Diane. The family lost their father John early. This drew the family tightly together, a trait that would be repeated as each of the children created their own families.

In the 1950’s Constance met Clar-ence, and they became Connie and Jake. Their 62 year marriage was punctuated by laughter, love and the occasional cast iron frying pan. Connie and Jake’s pas-sion was deep and tempestuous.

Beneath Connie’s caring nature hid a deep vein of stubbornness. Pity the fool who didn’t take “the look” seriously. She could go from making her famous cin-namon buns to tossing clothes out of the bedroom window faster than you could say sorry. Ask Jake. He’ll tell you.

Connie was a nurturer. Jake and Con-nie raised two kids, Pam Woods (nee Aik-en), and Gary Aiken. Pam married Guy Woods. Gary married Debbie Lauriente. And, they brought Brynna, Gord, Steven, and Julie into the world. Grandchildren and much later great-grandchildren. Connie was in heaven. Swimming, hock-ey, rugby and baseball games, skiing, band concerts, skating competitions. She went to them all.

Connie loved to sew and crochet, but the family dinners were legendary. Her Christmas dinners included everyone. Friends were family and family were friends. With the ping pong table dressed up as a dining table everyone sat down for a game of hide the brussels sprout, and who could pretend to eat the most jellied salad. The phrase ”just like the Clampetts” got bandied about.

Philanthropist or hoarder? It all de-pends on what side of need you live. If you needed some fabric or wool, a waf� e maker, a few towels, a blender, a crock-pot, or a set of sheets, you could count on Connie to help deck out your � rst home. The appliance might not all be CSA ap-proved, but they were the best the Pink Elephant carried.

When Connie and Jake moved to War� eld they did what every sane young couple did. They convinced their family and friends into helping them build a pool in the back yard. Nothing made Con-nie happier than sitting by that pool sur-rounded by friends and family. Epic din-ners and water � ghts played out around the pool where one moment’s inatten-tion would result in a swim, no matter what you were wearing. When Pam got married she and the bridesmaids spent the wedding day morning by the pool try-ing to keep their hair dry, hemming their

dresses with one eye on their tasks and the other eye on the look out for buckets.

Whether she was at Christina Lake, Kootenay Lake, Syringa Creek, or Evans, Connie was happy to drop a line in the water, do a little water skiing or just � oat around in the sunshine.

No memory of Connie would be com-plete without talking about her luck. She won a camera from a radio station. “Oh. Me.” She said to the station. “I never win anything.” But, we all know, it’s Jake that never won. Connie’s job, when they made their trips to Reno was to win back Jake’s losses and maybe a little extra for dinner. I’m not sure what the BC Lottery Corporation will do without her weekly donation.

Secrets and slots. Connie was so good at keeping secrets that until she was forced by the American government to get a passport to play her one-armed bandits, she didn’t know she was spell-ing her middle name wrong. Treesa, her niece, shares the same middle name. On Treesa’s birth certi� cate her mid-dle name is Ann. Which is how Connie thought hers was spelled for thirty years. When Connie applied for her passport, Constance Ann found her E.

With a de� nition of family that includ-ed every person she ever met. She cast a wide net and pulled everyone to her.

To know Connie was to love her. To know Connie was to be loved by her

An Open House to celebrate Connie’s life will be held at Connie and Jake’s house. 995 Thackeray Street in Warf-ield (Trail BC V1R 2C3) on Friday, May 31 from 2-5:30. Please wear colour. In lieu of � owers, donations can be made in her name to the Canadian Cancer Society, or for eye care research: www.worldclasshealthcare.ca/funding_opps_eye_care.html.

B Y A N D R E A K L A S S E NKamloops This Week

Were she in Mike Duffy’s shoes, Nancy Greene Raine would resign.

The Conservative Kamloops senator said her Prince Edward Island counter-part’s behaviour in the wake of a housing expenses scandal has been “sad and dis-appointing” to watch.

Duffy left the Conservative caucus last week amid reports that he had taken a $90,000 personal cheque from Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s chief of staff, Nigel Wright, to repay housing expenses he shouldn’t have claimed.

Wright himself resigned from his pos-ition in the Prime Minister’s Office over the weekend.

Media have also reported Duffy may also have double dipped on his expenses — charging the Senate for time he spent campaigning for the Conservatives prior to the 2011 federal election.

“Personally, if it was me, I would resign,” Raine told KTW on Tuesday, a few hours before the Senate was set to meet to discuss the expenses issue.

“He’s made some huge mistakes and using public funds during election cam-paigns and having his expenses, double-dipping as they say, that is just not accept-able,” Raine said.

“You can’t blame that on your staff.”“You need to be on top of those things.

We were told very, very clearly that Senate

resources were not to be used during the writ period when you are out campaign-ing.”

Raine said it’s normal for senators to campaign for their colleagues in the House of Commons, but said “there is no way” she would ever submit any such expenses to the Senate for such work.

Raine said Duffy’s behaviour is good reason to reform the Senate and tighten up oversight of expense accounts, but it’s not reason enough to write off other senators.

“I think there’s a lot of good the Senate can do,” she said.

“It’s just the right people have to be chosen properly and they have to be held accountable.

President Barack Obama is showing singer-songwriter Carole King that she has friends at the White House.

In the East Room on Wednesday night, Obama is presenting the 71-year-old singer-songwriter with the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.

She is the first woman to receive the award given by the Library of Congress.

King made famous such hits as “(You Make Me Feel

Like) A Natural Woman” and “You’ve Got a Friend.”

Several friends from her five decades in the music business will be on hand to perform in King’s honour, including Gloria Estefan, Billy Joel, Jesse McCartney, Emeli Sande, James Taylor and Trisha Yearwood.

King is expected to per-form, too.

She told The Associated Press that it’s a tremen-dous honour to be recog-nized with a place in his-tory she never would have expected, and to have it

happen at such a historic venue.

Past recipients of the prize include Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon.

“It is yet another of the many important messa-ges to young women that women matter, women make a difference,” King said in the AP interview.

“That popular music is recognized by the Library of Congress as being worthy of a place in history is especially significant to me.”

PROVINCIAL PERFORMER

DR. HENRY MORGENTALER

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - To his enemies

he was a mass murderer, but to many he was the man who shed light on back-street abor-tions and put women’s health and choice on the front pages of newspapers, TV screens and radio airwaves.

Dr. Henry Morgentaler, who helped overturn Canada’s abortion law 25 years ago, died Wednesday at his Toronto home. He was 90.

In 1967 Morgentaler, then a family practitioner, emerged in Quebec as an advocate for the right of Canadian women to have abortion on demand, at a time when attempting to induce an abortion was a crime punishable by life in prison.

The issue became a polariz-ing issue in Canada: On one side the growing women’s liberation movement pushed for the right to choose, while the other was made up of those who equated abortion with murder.

In an interview with The Canadian Press in 2004, the pro-choice crusader said his five-year stay in the Nazi con-centration camps of Auschwitz and Dachau prepared him for his showdown with Canada’s legal system.

“I had decided to break the law in order to help women - a disadvantaged class of people who were being unjustly treat-ed and exposed to terrible dan-ger,” said the slight man from behind a desk surrounded by family photos in his Toronto clinic.

He was 81 at the time.“The fact that it was the law

didn’t play with me because in my mind laws can be wrong,” he said remembering his boy-hood when simply being a Jew was reason enough to be

imprisoned.Morgentaler was born in

Lodz, Poland and came to Canada after the Second World War. He completed his med-ical studies at the Universite de Montreal and interned at the Royal Victoria Hospital.

It was there that he hap-pened upon a ward that made him realize the plight of women with unwanted pregnancies.

“The Royal Victoria Hospital - and many other Montreal hos-pitals - had a whole ward spe-cially designed for women who had bad abortions, and many of these women would die. Many would be injured to the point where they couldn’t have any more children.

“It was a terrible situation.”It was only after much soul-

searching, that Morgentaler - with the hopes of eventu-ally changing the law - started performing illegal abortions to women who requested his help.

“I felt, as a humanist and as a doctor, that I had a moral duty to help these women,” he told The Canadian Press.

Soon Morgentaler opened his first clinic in Montreal.

By 1973, the clinic had been raided several times by police and charges laid. Later that year a Quebec jury acquitted Morgentaler but the Quebec Court of Appeal threw out the verdict. After the Supreme Court rejected his appeal, Morgentaler began serving an 18-month sentence.

Canadians on both sides took action: Those supporting abortion on demand held rallies calling for Morgentaler’s release while those who opposed abor-tion petitioned Ottawa.

Morgentaler’s critics paint a very different picture, far from a benevolent advocate of

women’s rights.Gwen Landolt, national

vice-president of REAL Women Canada, is a prolifer and a long-time Morgentaler adversary.

She believes that if abor-tion is an assertion of women’s rights, why aren’t more forth-coming about abortions they have had?

“Morgentaler was an oppor-tunist,” Landolt said in an interview in 2004. “The only thing he could do was abortions and that, with the help of the media, he turned it around to be a great crusade.”

As part of REAL Women and legal counsel for the anti-abor-tion Campaign Life Coalition, Landolt’s barbs are verbal. But other critics have been more than vocal about their oppos-ition to abortion.

At the opening of Morgentaler’s Toronto clinic in 1983, a man lunged at him with garden shears. That and the 1993 bombing of the clinic left Morgentaler shaken but unharmed.

The controversy surround-ing Morgentaler made him a celebrity as his story yielded countless media profiles and a few television movies.

Morgentaler trained more than 100 doctors to perform abortions and opened 20 clinics across the country.

There are no longer hordes of protesters outside his clinics.

“It’s because of the debate people have changed their minds. Now they have the addi-tional knowledge and experi-ence that women no longer die as a result of abortions,” Morgentaler said.

“We’ve come to a situation where women accept (abortion on demand) as part of their rights.”

Abortion rights crusader dies

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SMILAN, Italy -

Franca Rame, an Italian actress and wife of Nobel laure-ate Dario Fo, died Wednesday at the age of 84 after a long ill-ness.

Rame’s death was marked with a moment of silence in Parliament, where she served as a senator from 2006 to 2008, and President Giorgio Napolitano praised

her “passionate civic engagement.”

Born into a theat-rical family, Rame was a stage and film actress who married the actor and play-wright Fo in 1954 in Milan’s St. Ambrose Cathedral.

The couple found-ed theatre companies that thrived on pol-itical satire, winning acclaim from progres-sive audiences and critics, but also upset-

ting the powerful.In the 1970s she

began writing plays herself, including “The Rape,” about her experience being brutalized in 1973 by far-right extremists.

In 1980, Rame and Fo were refused entry visas to the United States because of their support for left-wing activities in Italy. Then, in 1984, the U.S. government relented and allowed the couple

to visit and see the New York production of “Accidental Death of an Anarchist.”

The play, Fo’s most internationally known, is a work of fiction based on real-life events involving the suspicious death of an anarchist who fell from the window of the Milan police sta-tion.

Fo dedicated his 1997 Nobel Prize for Literature to Rame.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SA global survey sug-

gests that two-thirds of cellphone users around the world can’t bring themselves to turn off their devices, but Canadians are a little more willing to be unplugged.

Surveys conducted in 24 countries by Ipsos found that 67

per cent of cellphone users said they never or rarely shut down their phone.

Among the Canadians polled, 55 per cent said they never or rarely turn off their phone, which was tied with Saudi Arabia for lowest among the surveyed countries.

On the flipside,

84 per cent of the Russians polled and 80 per cent of Chinese users said they were never or rarely uncon-nected.

Canadians also stood out for being the most likely to respond “a lot of the time”

when asked how often they turned off their phone – about 20 per cent.

Canadian cellphone users aged 50 to 64 were the most likely to say they turned theirs off “a lot of the time” (32 per cent).

MAY DAYS SPORTS MANIA

May Days delivers a panoply of sporting spectaclesB Y T I M E S S T A F F

May Days is becoming more and more active, as the weekend festival not only showcased parades, markets, good music, fireworks, train rides, and tasty treats, but the annual event was also high-lighted by a bevy of sporting activities.

The always popular slo-pitch tournament saw the Blasters hold off the Whalers in a close 17-14 match to win the competitive division, while Balls Deep took home

the recreational slo-pitch title.

In the May Days Major Little League tournament, the Trail Eagles avenged a 14-12 loss to Nelson in the round robin, by beating them 12-2 in the championship match on the diamond at Haines Park Sunday.

Meanwhile, the cold war returned as the Russkies jug-gernaut retained its 3-on-3 street-hockey title Saturday at the Fruitvale Elementary courts going undefeated in

the open division of the tour-nament. The team was bol-stered by Castlegar Rebels’ forward Jamie Vlanich, along with Dylan Tite, John Lloyd, James Klukert, and the unflappable goaltending of Aaron Hunchak.

In the Intermediate div-ision, Montrose Service took top spot with Tyler Ghirardosi, Devin Ghirardosi, Owen Titus, Ross St. Jean, and Matt Yorston rounding out an impressive line up.

The Junior division’s

Kootenay Ice out of Fruitvale hoisted the champion-ship hardware led by Josh Mason, Logan Profili, Austin McKenzie, Nick Francis, and Cooper Ross.

The May Days Fun Run saw Eden Kormendy win the 5-kilometre event, while Peter Heard captured top spot in the 10-K; and in the May Days Bocce tournament, the mother and daughter team of Debbie and Crissy Nelson of Fruitvale triumphed over the competition.

KOOTENAY SOUTH SOCCER

Bighorns clash with competition

B Y T I M E S S T A F FThe KSYSA Select

U15 Boys Big Horns soccer team won gold at the Terry Walgren Soccer tournament in Nelson on the week-end.

With no other U15 teams entered, the Big Horns coached by Neil Moon were bumped up into the older U16 Division.

But that did not discourage the stal-wart 11. In the first match, the Big horns came out hard and downed the Creston U16 team 3-1.

However, under threatening skies the sheep faltered as the U16 Columbia Valley Team, accompanied

by pounding rain and gale force winds, blew the Big Horns away 5-1.

Nevertheless, in the all-important semi-final match, the team bounced back, rat-tling horns with the Cranbrook U16 team and, behind strong goaltending and solid defence, shut them out 1-0.

It all came down to the tournament finale and another match against Columbia Valley. In a close back-and-forth game, the Big Horns avenged their earlier loss, beat-ing Columbia Valley 2-1 to seize the gold medal.

See photo page 11.

GOLDEN BIG HORNS

The U15 Bighorns won gold at the Terry Walgren Soccer tournament in Nelson last week. See story page 10.

Cortisol is a nat-urally occur-ring hormone produced by

the adrenal glands, and is released during times of stress to help the body respond to the stress (think fight or flight), and is also used as an anti-inflam-matory agent in local corticosteriod injec-tions to treat persis-tent injuries, reducing the redness, swelling, and pain at the injury.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y , when used too often or for a prolonged period of time, it can have negative side effects including thinning of the skin, easy bruis-ing, weight gain, puffi-ness of the face, acne (steroid acne), eleva-tion of blood pressure, cataract formation, and thinning of the bones (osteoporosis),

to name a few.During a “Fight

or Flight”stress, your hypothalamus sends a signal to your adrenal glands to release adrenaline and corti-sol.

Normally, these ele-vated hormone levels return to normal after the threat or stress has passed. But in our modern society, many people suffer from more than their share of stress (physical and mental), which leads to anxiety.

Without a form of exercise, cortisol and other stress hor-mones build up in the body, resulting in an immunosuppressive effect, making you more susceptible to illness or infection, raising blood pressure and increasing the risk of heart disease,

as well as raising your blood sugar level con-tributing to diabetes. Cortisol is also cata-bolic, meaning that it breaks down your muscles and your sys-tem in general.

To top it all off, chronic high levels of cortisol can cause weight gain, common-ly showing up on the face, shoulder blades and back of neck, and around the abdomen often accompanied by reddish-purple streaks

(striae) that look like stretch marks.

Although high lev-els of cortisol are a contributing factor to storage of abdominal fat, too much food and not enough exercise is really what makes us fat. Stress how-ever may lead to an increased appetite and cravings, and high lev-els of cortisol contrib-ute further to store fat around the waist.

So what can we do about cortisol?

Exercise! Exercise is a means to release all those stored up stress hormones from the body that would other-wise continue to build up day after day.

Weight training in particular speeds this process and also increases human growth hormone, which helps to block

the effects of cortisol. Exercise increases

the brain’s output of serotonin and dopa-mine, which con-tribute immensely to reducing stress and anxiety, and help you to feel good.

The bottom line is exercise rids the body of stress hormones, reducing anxiety, and keeps you fit and healthy.

FOR THE RECORD

NHL

Rangers coach Tortorella turfedT H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S S

NEW YORK - John Tortorella was defiant in stating that the New York Rangers didn’t take a step back when they were knocked out of the Stanley Cup playoffs in the second round.

General manager Glen Sather thought otherwise and fired the combative coach on Wednesday.

The fiery Tortorella was let go four days after the Rangers’ season ended with a Game 5 loss at Boston to the Bruins. New York had reached the Eastern Conference finals last year and was considered to be a championship contender in this lockout-shortened season.

“I came up with the decision that I really needed to do something to improve our team going forward,” Sather said during a conference call. “Every coach has a shelf life. I’ve told every guy that I’ve hired that at some point in time this is going to change.

“Our goal is to win the Stanley Cup and we didn’t achieve that goal this year. I had to make a decision, so I did.”

Tortorella was unexpectedly dismissed with one year left on his contract. In 319 regular-

season games with New York, including a four-game run at the end of the 1999-2000 season, Tortorella went 171-118-1-29. He was 19-25 in the post-season, and reached the playoffs in four of five seasons after taking over as coach in February 2009.

Tortorella, hired to replace former Trail Junior Smokies coach Tom Renney with 21 games remaining in the 2008-09 season, achieved some success with the Rangers but couldn’t match the Stanley Cup title he earned in 2004 with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Sather said Tortorella’s contract status didn’t factor into the decision.

“It wasn’t one thing and I am certainly not going to speculate or start to criticize what hap-pened with Torts and give you a lot of reasons why we decided to do this,” Sather said. “After the analytical work that we do every year at the end of the season, trying to decide how we’re going to improve the team and how we’re going to move forward, this is a decision I made.”

Sather didn’t name an immediate replace-ment, but hopes to have a new coach in place by the June 30 NHL draft in Newark, N.J.

B Y K . H I L D E B R A N DNelson Star

As Jumbo Glacier Resort developers get a green light to build lifts and a lodge at the resort site, the fight against the controver-sial development is forging ahead despite disappointment.

The permit allowing construction to pro-ceed on ski lifts and a lodge of up to 150 rooms was approved by Jumbo mayor Greg Deck and the resort municipality’s coun-cil last week — the governing body which the West Kootenay EcoSociety executive director David Reid

along with lawyer Judah Harrison filed a petition in BC Court against in February.

“The zoning per-mit is obviously frus-trating, but it’s not unexpected,” Reid told the Star on Saturday.

“It doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of the people in the Kootenays are opposed to it. It doesn’t change the fact that there are two lawsuits in the courts right now chal-lenging the develop-ment agreement and the municipality. It doesn’t change the fact that there are people willing to put them-selves on the line to keep this resort from happening.”

The EcoSociety’s aim is to challenge the appointment of a gov-erning body without

any electors saying it violates the constitu-tion and various prov-incial statutes. Though building can now go ahead, Reid doubts anything will get done this summer because the application didn’t have a proponent.

“It wasn’t that there was someone out there saying ‘I’ve got a $100 million I want to build a backcountry lodge on Farnham Glacier, can I get some zoning for that please?’” said Reid. “It was someone on city council who said ‘why don’t we get this thing started and open the door in case someone comes along?’”

Reid is confident in the strength of their case and courts over-turn the municipality, the zoning would be meaningless.

R e v e l s t o k e t i m e s R e v i e wBC Hydro will experience

some changes in its oper-ations this year due to con-struction at Mica Dam, but a repeat of last year’s flood management conditions is considered “very unlikely, barring unforeseen extreme

rainfall events.”According to spokes-

person Jen Walker-Larsen, water run-off from the mountains throughout the Columbia Basin is expected to be near normal in 2013. However, BC Hydro will be limiting power genera-

tion at Mica Dam due to ongoing construction and maintenance work.

“As a result, outflows from Mica and down-stream Revelstoke dams are expected to be lower than normal from July through September,” she said.

The Arrow Lakes Reservoir is re-filling ear-lier than normal due to a warmer than average spring and recent heavy rains. The reservoir is expected to be peak at full pool sometime in late June or early July. Because of the reduced

inflows from Mica and Revelstoke, the Arrow Lake will be deeper than normal in August and September.

The Kinbasket Reservoir was drawn down 10 feet lower than normal to pre-pare for the reduced gen-eration at the Mica Dam.

Leisure

Dear Annie: I am in my 20s and am engaged to a beautiful girl. Our religion prohibits sex before marriage. But when “Donna” tells me to stop kissing her, I persist. I don’t see why not. It’s just kissing.

Donna says she has not been firm enough with me and when she says no, she means no. Yesterday, I was sit-ting next to Donna and started kissing her on the lips. She said no, and when I didn’t stop, she slapped my face. It felt like I had been stung by a bee. Donna told me she definitely had to slap me.

My cousin said that in a dating situation, the woman sets the rules, and it is her pre-rogative to slap a man’s face if she feels he has gone too far. Do you agree? I don’t think she had to slap me. -- John

Dear John: It’s hard to believe you are liv-ing in this century. While we don’t recom-mend that women go around slapping men,

anything you do after Donna says “no” could be considered assault or even attempted rape. She is entitled to defend herself. She could call the police. Show some respect for your girl-friend, and stop kissing her when she asks you to stop. You sound too immature to get mar-ried.

Dear Annie: I am a 32-year-old professional woman and a newly-wed. I have been best friends with “Martha” since the first grade, although we began to drift apart after college. But we always talked about our future wed-dings and vowed to attend each other’s. Meanwhile, I moved

to the East Coast, and Martha moved to the West Coast. We stayed in touch and occasion-ally saw each other in our hometown.

I was not asked to be a bridesmaid at Martha’s wedding, but I traveled to California with my fiance to attend and also went to her bridal shower in our hometown. Very few others did because of the cost and the dis-tance. Her parents told me they were thrilled that I was there.

About 10 months after Martha’s wed-ding, I married on the East Coast. Of course, Martha was invited, but she RSVP’d that she could not attend. She gave no reason. My first anniversary is approaching, and I have yet to hear any words of congratula-tions from my “best friend” -- no card or gift or even a phone call. I also haven’t heard any-thing from her parents. Back in my hometown, my mother occasion-

ally runs into Martha’s mother. She has never mentioned my mar-riage.

I am terribly hurt. It seems clear that Martha doesn’t care about me or want to continue our friendship. I am trying to put this behind me, but I am puzzled that neither she nor her family had the common courtesy to send a note of congratulations. I am thinking of “unfriend-ing” her on Facebook. -- Raised with Manners

Dear Manners: Martha was remiss not to send a card of con-gratulations. But when friends go in different directions -- figurative-ly as well as physically -- the closeness tends to fade. It doesn’t mean Martha no longer cares, only that the friendship has become a casual interest. Facebook is actually perfect for that. You can keep track of each other without hav-ing to invest any genu-ine effort.

Dear Annie: I believe you missed the boat

with your answer to “Irritated by Lack of Thoughtfulness,” who said a woman carried on a cellphone conver-sation during a funeral. You said it was impo-lite, but added that the phone could be turned on “mute” or “vibrate” and emergencies han-

dled out of earshot.We have lost all sen-

sitivity to others. At funerals, weddings and church services, phones should be left at home or in the car. If some-thing is so important that one must stay con-nected, one should not attend the function.

Not so long ago, cell-phones didn’t exist, and we managed to survive. -- Litchfield, Maine

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers col-umn.

For Friday, May 31, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) By working behind the scenes, you can make posi-tive changes and clean up something, perhaps related to shared property, taxes or inheritances. People with influence will listen to you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Discussions with an older female or someone in a position of authority might cause you to rethink your ideas about politics or reli-gion. You might see things in a new light. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Give serious thought to your life’s direction. Specifically, take a realistic look at what support from others you can count on, or not. This could be a deciding factor. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Long-range travel plans look doable today. However, someone close to you might

want you to make changes. No worries -- these changes likely will be for the better. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might look with new eyes on an arrangement regarding shared property or anything you own jointly with others. Now you see a better way to do things. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Sit down with someone close to you and make future plans, especially about deal-ing with children, or per-haps how to improve vaca-tion plans. Look at all angles today. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You can introduce improvements at work today, and others will agree with you. You might even extend your ideas to your own home life. Why not? SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) New romance might begin for some of you today. If so, it will be powerful and quite

possibly with someone who is older or more established. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You’re in the mood to make sweeping improve-ments at home. You want to get rid of what is no longer relevant or necessary. Out with the old, in with the new! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Sit down with someone to discuss long-range plans

for the future. These plans might affect your closest relationships or even your appearance and how you dress. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be on the lookout for a new job or way to earn money on the side. Others might see new uses and applications for something they already own. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

You might get advice from someone older and more experienced today. If so, truly listen. Someone in a group, someone powerful, might say something that can help you in the future. YOU BORN TODAY You have an exterior that con-veys an image of being tough and cool. But in fact, you are sweet and senti-mental. Nevertheless, when needed you are strong, capable and down to earth,

and you get results. In this respect, you’re a self-assured straight shooter. You’re also adaptable and resourceful. A lovely, social year ahead awaits you. (All your rela-tionships will improve.)
