While participants displayed everything from a desire to go incognito, to patriotism, to the always popular winter bikini, there is no doubt that one and all enjoyed the Splash Pond at Kimberley Alpine Resort’s closing weekend party last Saturday.

The snow is off the ground a little early this year and Kimber-ley residents are out raking and cleaning up after winter.

The City of Kimberley will help out with your yard clean up by doing special pickups of gar-den and yard waste — up to the equivalent of one half ton load per household.

The schedule is as follows. This week, until April 10, yard waste will be picked up on all garbage routes where regular gar-bage pick up is done on Wednes-days. Next week, April 14 to 17, those whose garbage is picked up

Tuesdays will have yard waste re-moved; the week after, April 21 to 24 is for those with Friday gar-bage collection, and the following week, April 28 to May 1 is for Thursday collection.

Yard waste will be picked up daily during the week, and should be put out at 7 a.m. each day. The yard waste should be clearly marked as such, visibly separated from regular garbage, but still in your regular pick up location. All refuse for spring clean up dispos-al must be in plastic bags or tagged or marked as yard waste. Small branches can be tied in bundles.

Yard waste means waste from garden and lawns, including

grass, leaves, plants, sod and tree and hedge clippings. It does not mean branches larger than six inches, old appliances, used oil, vehicles or tires.

The pick up offer is for resi-dential customers only.

OPERATION CLEAN SWEEP

Also keep in mind that if you are interested in a slightly larger, neighbourhood clean up, you can take part in Operation Clean Sweep during Pitch In Week, April 26 to May 2. Individuals and groups are invited to take part. For more information and to reg-ister, contact the City operations department at 250-427-9660 or [email protected]

Bulletin Editor

Water quality notices are a sure sign of spring in Kimberley, as faster running creeks can increase particu-late matter in the water supply.

With both Matthew and Mark Creeks running faster as the spring melt is underway, the first water qual-ity advisory of the season now in ef-fect.

Effective 11 a.m. Tuesday, April 7th, 2015 the City of Kimberley is under a Water Quality Advisory — this affects all users including Kimberley, Marysville, Forest Crowne and the St. Mary Lake Road area.

Water Quality Advisories are an-nounced when the water quality is fair, and recent testing shows turbidity in water in both Mark and Matthew Creek is in that range.

Rugby RecollectionsThe article by Antho-

ny Dransfeld (Daily Bul-letin Mar 27) noted that 2015 is the 50th anni-versary of rugby in the East Kootenay. In fact, columnist Dave Hum-phrey has unearthed evidence that rugby was active here as much as 114 years ago.

Humphrey research-es and compiles “It hap-pened this week in Cranbrook,” a column of historical tidbits which appears regularly in the Townsman and Bulletin.

After reading the 50th anniversary claim, Dave searched the Cranbrook Museum and Archives’ collection of local newspapers, which dates back to 1898, for references to rugby. The earliest arti-cles he found were pub-lished in 1901 by the Cranbrook Herald, which covered sporadic Cranbrook vs Nelson matches in a highly en-tertaining fashion, once

even in poetry. In April 1901, the Herald ob-served: “The last two seasons Nelson has had a strong team … [but] … the game of Rugby, to the majority here, is en-tirely new … ” Cran-brook had to enlist play-ers from Moyie and Fort Steele to make up their numbers.

Fast forward to the November 3, 1910, edi-tion of the Cranbrook Herald which has a no-tice that the “Sullivan Mine Rugby football team challenges any team this side of Spo-kane for a game under American rules.”

Marie Stang and Jim Ratcliffe of the Kimber-ley Heritage Museum have also researched references to rugby in their museum’s news-paper archive. They found a photo in The Daily Bulletin of No-vember 10, 1965. Read on to learn more about that match.

By Peter Moody

In 1961, a recent im-migrant to Canada, I found myself in Kim-berley teaching boys’ physical education at McKim Junior High School. My curriculum included gymnastics, track and field, and a variety of team sports. Soccer, the most popu-lar and most played game in the world, was familiar to my students. But rugby, although played in Britain and other Commonwealth countries, was not.

So, having learned to love the game in En-gland, I introduced rugby to my PE classes, starting in grade 8 where we concentrated on basic skills, rules and teamwork. By grades 9 and 10 we were playing scrimmages, but for the next few years that was as far as the game went because there were no other rugby-playing schools in the East Kootenay to compete against.

I should mention that back then, more than 50 years ago, school rugby was for boys only. Girls weren’t even playing soccer at that time. How times have changed – for the better.

In 1965, after several years of practicing, we finally got to play “real” rugby. The spark was Pieter Sevensma, a Sel-kirk student who did his grade 11 at Brentwood College, a Vancouver Island boarding school that was similar to Brit-ish boys’ private schools in that rugby was the major sport. Pieter began playing and found that he really en-joyed it.

Returning to Kim-berley in 1965 for grade 12, Pieter came to me at McKim and proposed that we get rugby going as a regular sport in town. It was a wonder-ful idea. I got my McKim students on board while Pieter spread the word up at Selkirk. Then we put an ad in the Bulletin inviting men to come and join our after-school prac-tices.

Kimberley had min-ers, engineers, geolo-gists and others who knew rugby from their native countries. In just a few weeks we found ourselves with 40-plus keen fellows who want-ed to train and play.

As coach, I hand-picked four 9-a-side teams, comprising men and boys, and on Sun-day, November 7, 1965, we played a round-rob-in tournament on McKim field. It was a gratifying success, played with great en-thusiasm and sports-manship, and enjoyed by quite a gathering of spectators. The Bulle-tin was there to record the historic event.

Good news travels fast. A few days after the tournament, I heard from Craig An-drews of the Trail Colo-nials Rugby Club – they wanted to come to Kimberley to play us. I said we were very much a beginning team, but sure, we would welcome them. The following weekend Trail arrived for a game on Coronation field.

McDougall Hall up on Townsite had the

nearest changing rooms so the teams kit-ted out there then trot-ted down the hill to Coronation. Kimberley lads gave it their all, but the Colonials were much more experi-enced and won the game. Afterwards it was back to the hall for showers, refreshments and camaraderie among winners and losers, all part of the romance of rugby. The game was verbally dis-sected, songs were sung, toasts were raised, and a return game was arranged to be played in Trail the following week.

For the return match we ran into a couple of problems. First off, we were short of players so I enlisted two grade 8 lads, Brian McKenzie and Randy Marchi, who didn’t need much convincing to make up our side. Then, when we arrived for the game after a drive of 170 miles, we found the whole field under four inches of snow. No problem – the two teams spent the first half hour kicking snow off the touch lines and goal lines, then played with much gusto to keep warm.

Kimberley never gave up, but once again Trail were the winners. As gracious victors, they followed the rugby ritual of forming a cor-ridor and applauding while the losers ran be-tween their ranks. Our players quickly caught on and performed the same honours for Trail.

It wasn’t long after this that I left Kimber-ley for further educa-tion. My last season of rugby was played at Washington State Uni-versity – the game was just too hard on my dodgy knees. I took up soccer again when I re-turned to Canada and played for a few de-cades. But I’ll say this: playing rugby gave me the most fun and satis-faction of any sport I’ve ever experienced.

FoR BILL PaRNeLLFuneral services

were held Tuesday af-ternoon for William Willing “Bill” Parnell, well-known Kimberley pioneer, who died Thursday, March 29 at the age of 71.

Born October 21,

1884, at Plymouth, En-gland, Mr. Parnell came to Canada in the early years of the century set-tling first at Calgary. In 1908 he moved to Fernie and later to Lumberton where he was active in the lumbering boom. In 1920 he moved to the Kimberley district work-ing here and in Cran-brook at his trade as a plastering contractor.

He was always active in community life and played a large part in the growth of the district. Only a few weeks ago he was singled out for hon-ours as one of the two remaining charter members of the Kim-berley Board of Trade.

He was a charter

member of the Kimber-ley Lodge No. 90, B.P.O. Elks, of which he was a past Exalted Ruler and District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler.

Mr. Parnell played an active part in the devel-opment of the Wasa Lake area and assisted greatly in the erection of the building now in use at the summer resort. In his younger years he was a keen athlete and more than 30 years ago was a member of the Concentrator football team when that team was one of nine active engaged in the district. His interest in sports was unflagging; he was an ardent supporter of the Dynamiters and was always ready and willing to lend a hand where it would do the most good. In 1945, he was commended by the pro-vincial director of the Recreational and Physi-

cal Education Brnach for his assistance to the K. A.A.A. and to youth activities in this com-munity.

He is survived by his wife, Gladys; four daughters: Mrs. Vince Brown, Mrs. Harry Whelan and Miss Daisy Parnell, Vancouver, and Mrs. Barry Swann, Nanaimo; three grand-children; two brothers: Joseph of Calgary and Robert of Vancouver and a sister, Mrs. J. John-ston, of Calgary.

Members of the Elks Lodge to which he de-voted so much of his en-ergies were in charge of funeral arrangements with Rev. Canon R.E.M. Yerburgh officiating.

For the Bulletin

Hoppy Easter! Here we are, just fresh from Spring Break and now we are hopping into our Easter break. Awesome!

April Fool’s day was filled with hi-jinx. Stu-dents were treated to 30 seconds of silence and teachers were treated to some great practical jokes…just ask Mr. Mc-Mahon.

Here at McKim, we have an epic Dare pro-gram for our Grade 5s. Our local RCMP take one day out of their week to teach students about making responsi-ble , legal choices. Con-stables answer the “tough” questions stu-dents need to ask to keep them safe. It goes on for nine days and at the end, there is a cele-bration we will be re-porting on at the end of the process.

We have a new SPCA Club at McKim. We at McKim believe in stop-

ping animal cruelty and helping our local SPCA. We have a number of fundraisers planned to help with this cause. Thanks to Ms. Nielsen for taking this on.

Madame Stang’s class is currently dis-secting owl pellets.

Learning about owl di-gestion is appetizing (not!).

In Ping Pong this week, Brayden Hoy won the week with ten points. Brad Traverse came second with nine points. Great job, boys!

Now that Easter is fi-

nally over, it’s almost field trip reason. We also have a great new Baseball Club we’ll be reporting on and news on our upcoming pro-duction, “Beauty and the Beast”.

From Page 1The City and Interi-

or Health recommend that children, the el-derly, people with weakened immune systems and anyone seeking additional protection drink boiled water or a safe alternative. For these at-risk populations, water intended for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making juice or ice, or brushing teeth should be boiled for one min-ute. Boiled water should then be refrig-erated in a clean, cov-ered container. Resi-dents could also choose to use bottled or distilled water, or water that has been filtered through a w e l l - m a i n t a i n e d treatment device.

Health risks in-crease as turbidity rises, particularly for at-risk population such as newborns, the elderly and people with weakened im-mune systems. Con-taminants such as vi-ruses, bacteria and parasites can attach themselves to the sus-pended particles in turbid water. These particles can then in-terfere with disinfec-tion, limiting chlo-rine’s ability to re-move or inactivate the contaminants. Cur-rent turbidity levels exceed the 1 NTU standard recommend-ed in the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality.

Owners of public facilities must post Water Quality Adviso-

ries at all sinks or drinking water foun-tains accessible to the public (alternatively, public fountains and taps may be turned off ). As opportunities arise, they must also advise their clientele verbally of the Water Quality Advisory.

The City of Kimber-ley is taking addition-al measures to reduce risk. Interior Health has been fully in-volved and the public will be notified when conditions change or water quality has im-proved.

If you have any questions please con-tact the City of Kim-berley at 250-427-9660 or check turbidi-ty levels at kimberley.ca

space For the artsI have read with great interest the in-

formation in the paper regarding the dis-cussion about the future of the old Fire Hall.

Several years ago, I had the opportuni-ty to visit this old building as part of an historical buildings walk. It is a beautiful building. I hope that you decide to keep it as city property. It would be a shame to lose it. Once buildings like this are gone, they are gone forever. The cost to rebuild is out of the question. The cost to restore is more within your grasp.

I understand that the Cranbrook and District Arts Council is interested in using it. They have been without a permanent home for as long as I have lived in the area. The Fire Hall has the potential of becoming an excellent site for the arts.

A couple of years ago I had the oppor-tunity to visit an old barn near Lewiston, Idaho. They had converted the main level into small shops and studios and a large gallery area. Upstairs in the old loft area there were more workshop/studios and another open space where we attended a musical performance. There were per-haps 30 of us there. I was so impressed to see a heritage building restored like this.

I am a painter. To have a facility where there are rooms to hold workshops, studio space available to rent and gallery space would be wonderful. In Kimberley at Cen-tre 64, the gallery is already booked into

2017. That whole building is well utilized.We have a vibrant arts community —

art, drama and music — in the East Koo-tenay. Space to develop skills, improve ourselves and/or sell our pottery, weav-ing, or paintings would be good for us and an asset to the overall character of Cran-brook.

The Fire Hall has space! It is an histori-cal building! Let us, the community, use it!

Ilene LowingWycliffe

old Fire HallSurely the civic-minded group now

working so furiously to repurpose Cran-brook’s historic, but unused, old fire hall, deserves a chance?

The City, to its credit, has already spent more than $100,000 to remove the asbes-tos in the building and prepare it for a new use. What better use could there be for this fine, old, heritage structure than to be-come an arts and culture facility that Cran-brook now sadly lacks. Look around the region: Kimberley has Centre 64, Inver-mere has Pynelogs, Nelson has the Touch-stones Museum of Art and History, Castle-gar has its famous Sculpture Walk. Cran-brook has … well you get the idea.

Again to its credit, the City once had $500,000 in its five-year financial plan to get a needed project like this off the ground if the Cranbrook & District Arts Council

would come up with matching funds. Un-fortunately the current City Council took the seed money out of the budget plan and the wind out of the project’s sails. Never-theless, the CDAC, much to its credit, is continuing to work around the clock to raise enough money to keep the project alive.

At a time when the Key City Theatre and Western Financial Place are bringing more great events and famous names to our city, it only makes sense to have a new and vibrant Arts Centre and Gallery to keep building our growing reputation. Cranbrook is often called “The Key City of the Kootenays.” Let’s be bold and work to-gether to create a facility that shows we deserve that title.

Cranbrook Street North, Cran-brook) as they launch their Butt Out campaign to reduce harmful cigarette waste and create a healthier community. The Butt Out campaign aims to reduce tobacco related litter in an effort to keep the environ-ment free of toxic waste with a three-step program.

Cigarette waste is a leading polluter. Cigarettes leach chemicals that are poisonous to wildlife and contaminate our water sources, which is why Tamarack Centre is step-ping up in hopes of fixing the

problem. The Butt Out cam-paign asks community mem-bers to help reduce waste by collecting cigarette butts from their homes, offices, restau-rants and places of business.

“It’s sad to see how wildlife can be attracted to foreign items like cigarette butts think-ing it is food, especially when you consider the act of tossing the butt to the ground is 100 per cent avoidable,” said Ken Johnson Head of Habitat Asset Management Ducks Unlimited Canada.

Tamarack Centre hopes to see a positive impact on the environment and the Cran-

brook community with the Butt Out campaign. Items that peo-ple should be on the lookout for are: extinguished cigarettes, cigarette filters, inner foil pack-aging, and outer plastic pack-aging. Additionally, the mall has organized a ‘butt pick-up day’ set for Monday, April 13, 2015 for community members who want to get involved. From 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on April 13, Tamarack Centre administra-tion staff will be on site to re-ceive cigarette waste from the community. To help with col-lections, Tamarack Centre is offering the first 100 people who drop by with cigarette

waste a $5 Tim Horton’s card.“With the Butt Out cam-

paign, we hope to see the Cran-brook community come to-gether and support us in clean-ing up our environment,” said Linda Birch, Manager of Tama-rack Centre. “If everyone sim-ply takes a few seconds out of their day to notice the litter and pick it up, it will make a huge difference.”

T he labour situation in B.C. is show-ing increased signs of strain, even before a long-promised boom in

heavy construction gets set to ramp up this summer.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond announced last week that B.C. is sus-pending its “provincial nomination” program for 90 days. This program al-lows the province to recom-mend people for federal immigration, based on skills in demand in B.C.

The B.C. provincial nomination program saw its number of applications triple to 1,200 for the month of December, as the federal government cracked down on the temporary foreign worker program. Thousands of tempo-rary foreign workers who have hit the four-year deadline are being sent home, with many of them turning to the provin-cial nomination track.

Bond has been pleading with Ottawa to raise B.C.’s annual provincial nomina-tion quota from 5,000 to 7,000 or more. The three-month pause is so her ministry can add staff and speed up processing time. Backlogged applicants will still be considered, and exemptions for health care workers and a northeast pilot pro-gram are being maintained.

Even with the current slump in energy prices and before anticipated pipeline

and liquefied natural gas projects start, the labour shortage in the northeast is near crisis.

The last time I was in Dawson Creek, radio ads were offering signing bonuses for qualified truck drivers. In Fort St.

John, grocery and hardware retailers have come to de-pend on foreign workers to keep going.

While supposedly edu-cated young people work part-time and refuse to leave the comforts of south-ern city life, this is the reali-

ty up north, and it’s only going to get worse.

This summer, work is scheduled to start on the Site C dam on the Peace River, the most costly construction proj-ect in B.C. history. And a union vs. non-union battle reminiscent of the old Expo 86 labour wars is underway.

The B.C. and Yukon Building Trades (BCYT) are demanding a project agree-ment that requires all workers on Site C to be paid their rates, and are warning of chaos on the huge project if they don’t get their way.

BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald told me that’s not all they want. They are also seeking quotas for members of their unions on a project that will be a small city of 1,700 people at peak construction.

BCYT executive director Tom Sigurd-

son says that while all sides acknowledge the need for foreign workers for Site C, he wants to control that too, working with their affiliated unions in the U.S.

There will be non-union construction firms, some of them owned by aboriginal communities in the north. There will be contractors affiliated with the Christian Labour Association of Canada. The BCYT hopes to set wages and conditions for them all, and influence Ottawa’s tempo-rary foreign worker program to boot.

McDonald and Premier Christy Clark have politely told them to pound sand. Their formula would add millions in costs to the project, driving up BC Hydro rates even more than they are already rising. BC Hydro has already done dam upgrade projects using a “managed open site” model and it’s not inclined to return to the era of W.A.C. Bennett as Sigurdson demands.

Sigurdson makes a valid point that when two concrete masons compare paycheques on the Site C project and one sees he’s making $5 an hour less, he won’t be happy. He will want the higher rate, and the BCYT is taking BC Hydro to court to ensure they can recruit new members on the site.

It looks like a hot summer ahead.

MISSION, B.C. — Andy Stevens has options and with the Campbell River Storm’s season carrying on towards the 2015 Keystone Cup — Western Canada’s Junior B championship — in Cold Lake, Alta., he isn’t prepared to make any decisions just yet.

The 6-foot-2, 208-pound defenceman was a 2013 WHL Bantam Draft selection of the Kootenay Ice. With size and a smooth stride, it’s easy to see why the Ice scout-ing staff saw fit to use a fifth-round pick (98th overall) on the now 17-year-old native of Campbell River.

“If you didn’t know he was 16, you’d think he was a 20-year-old in our lineup,” said Lee Stone, Storm head coach and general manager. “He’s so strong. Our forwards consistently talk about how strong he is in the corners. He moves his feet. I think he’s going to be an excep-tional player wherever he decides to play next year.

“He’s a real smart kid, so they’ve kept the school op-tion there. I think it will come down to where he’s got the best opportunity to develop. This year was good for him. Instead of being a six or seven [defenceman] on a higher-end team, he’s a number-one or -two on our club. It’s really served him well and I think he’s got pro hockey written all over him. I think he’s going to collect a cheque to play the game one day. That’s the talent he has.”

Stone marvelled about Stevens’ drive and ability to think the game, two assets he believes will take his young

blueliner to success. Where that success comes is still to be determined.

Having spent all his time in Junior B, with a cup of cof-fee at the Junior-A level, Ste-vens remains eligible to pur-sue the NCAA college hock-ey route and it’s an opportu-nity he’s weighing.

The soft-spoken rear-guard didn’t attend Koote-nay Ice training camp fol-lowing his draft year after breaking his wrist. He chose to play at home for the 2014-15 season and didn’t attend Kootenay Ice training camp once again, but with plenty of turnover coming to the Ice roster, next season might be the best chance for a young, efficient defenceman like Stevens to crack the lineup and make his mark in major junior — if he wants to go that route.

“It’s definitely an option. They’re a great organiza-tion,” Stevens said. “It would be great to play for them.

“Right after they drafted me, they gave me a call and we talked for a while.

“It’s tough [to decide]. You’ve just got to talk to peo-ple that know a lot about it and have experience going both routes. You get their input about it.

“I’m just focusing on the season [with the Storm] right now.”

There’s no questioning Stevens can play the game and his presence has played a key part in the success of the Campbell River Storm this season.

As a 16-year-old, he grad-uated from the Okanagan Hockey Academy to suit up for the Storm, posting two goals and 17 points in 40 reg-ular-season games. In 11

Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League playoff games with the Storm, Ste-vens went on to post five as-sists and followed up with one assist in four games at the 2015 Cyclone Taylor Cup — B.C.’s provincial Junior B championship — in Mission, where his squad claimed its second B.C. title in franchise history with a 6-5 victory

over the Kimberley Dyna-miters.

On top of his time with the Storm, Stevens earned looks from the Powell River Kings of the BCHL (Junior A). Though he only saw eight games down the road from Campbell River, the young-ster still earned himself a taste of Junior-A hockey and that isn’t something many

16-year-olds can lay claim to. “You’ve got to be faster,

stronger,” Stevens said of the taste he had in Junior A. “You’ve got to be able to make plays a little bit faster. It was a great experience.”

Should Stevens decide he wants to pursue the NCAA college hockey route, his most likely destination next season will be in a full-time

role with the Powell River Kings as a move to the West-ern Hockey League nixes his NCAA eligibility.

A velvety-smooth stride is the first thing most people notice about Stevens’ game, but at 6-foot-2 and 208 pounds, they might be left wanting a little more grit and sandpaper. The physical side of the game is something Stone said they’ve been working on through this campaign.

“He’s smart and he’s physical, but he’s not neces-sarily in your face,” Stone said. “At 6-foot-2, 205 [pounds], that’s something you’d probably like to see a little more of. But it hasn’t held him back in our league as a 16-year-old and I’d be surprised if it held him back in any other league, too.”

For now, Stevens’ focus remains on finishing out the 2014-15 Junior B campaign — a season that has worn as long as it possibly can with the Storm headed to the Western Canadian Junior B championships April 16 to 19.

“We have a great coach-ing staff and group of guys,” Stevens said. “We’re on the ice every day. We’re training hard and we’re a good team.”

If Stevens’ and the Storm take to the ice in Cold Lake the way they did in Mission, they might find an opportu-nity to make history — no Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League team has hoisted the Keystone Cup since its inception in 1983.

The Storm open the 2015 Keystone Cup in a date with the Saskatoon Quakers (Prai-rie Junior Hockey League champions) April 16 at 11:30 a.m. (MST).

Men’s Avalanche will have some more help from Down Under next season. Avs Head Coach John Swanson is pleased to announce the sign-ing of Patrik Toze from Queensland, Australia.

Toze has garnered many volleyball accolades through the years. He was the under-19 state most valuable player in 2014, named to the junior Australian team for the Asian Junior championships, and was the most valuable player for the State Schools Cup as

well as the Aggregate Inter-school College Cup in 2013. Toze also holds the Aggregate Interschool College Cup na-tional blocking, spiking and service aces records. He will be playing left-side for the Av-alanche.

“Patrik brings a passion and skill-set to our program that should easily transition to the collegiate level. His past accomplishments and willing-ness to improve in all facets of the game will make him a great addition to the team,” says Swanson.

Toze is the third Australian

player recruited by the Ava-lanche over the past four years. Fellow Aussie, Curtis Stockton, has won several honours during his time with the Avs, including PACWEST 1st Team All-Star in 2013/14 and 2014/15, PACWEST Player of the Year for 2013/14 and CCAA All-Canadian in 2013/14. Toze is excited about his opportuni-ty to play for the Avalanche and beginning his studies in the Kinesiology program.

“This is the perfect next step for me and my volleyball aspirations. After talking with former head-coach Steve

Kamps and Curtis Stockton, I knew I would fit right in with the team and be challenged on the court,” he says. “Being able to use my sport as a means to obtain my education is also a dream come true. I couldn’t be happier coming into the next season and I ea-gerly anticipate travelling to Cranbrook for September.”

At right: Australia-native Patrik Toze looks forward to joining College of the Rockies’ Men’s Avalanche in September.

Dear Annie: I have a close acquaintance who is a fitness instructor at the health club where I often work out. Two years ago, I saw her at a local peace parade and got very worked up over something she wrote on the signs she was wearing. I became so crazed over it that I forgot myself and said some awful things about her. I also stopped going to her workout classes for a month and deleted her Facebook pages. Then I found out her husband had had a stroke the day of the parade. I realized how hideous my behavior had been. I returned to her workout class and intended to apologize profusely to her, but she wasn’t there that day. When she finally came back, I told her I’d been praying for her and her husband. Sometimes it seems she has forgiven me and everything is the same between us, but on other days, I’m not so sure. I apologized to her, in a general way, in a holiday greeting card, not mentioning the parade. I’ve lost countless hours of sleep crying from guilt, shame and regret. I’ve finally decided I have to do something. Please print this so she can see it and we can talk about it. -- Distraught Dear Distraught: Printing this in the paper and hoping she sees it is a copout. You need to put your spine in place and talk to her directly, no matter how hard it is. A semi-apology in a holiday greeting card doesn’t count, and telling her you will pray for her is kind, but insufficient. Ask your friend whether she is available for coffee, or find some other time when neither of you is rushed and you can speak privately. Here’s what you say: “I know it’s been a while, but I need to tell you how sorry I am for my behavior at the parade and afterward. I don’t know what came over me. I value our friendship a great deal, and I am hoping you can forgive me.” Whatever happens after that, at least you will know you truly tried to make it right. Dear Annie: “Grandma” has every right to be concerned about her stepson’s nearly 3-year-old child who barely speaks. She should follow her instincts and strongly encourage that the girl be assessed by a speech therapist. The lack of expressive language could also be a sign of autism. While the suggestions to spend more time interacting with the child are great, professional intervention might be necessary. It is deplorable that the pediatrician has not caught this, as early intervention can change the trajectory of a child’s life. As a special education teacher over the past 10 years, I’ve seen the terrible repercussions caused by the lack of early intervention and the overworked school systems that regularly miss identifying these needs. -- Concerned Special Ed Teacher Dear Teacher: Several readers pointed out that the lack of speech could be a sign of autism. Others told us that their kids didn’t speak much at that age and turned out just fine. There’s no way for us to know what’s going on, but we absolutely concur that the child should be evaluated by a speech therapist to find out. Unfortunately, that is Dad’s call, and he seems disinclined to do anything. If “Grandma” can take her, wonderful. If not, talking and reading to this little girl could be a godsend.

Reduce environmental impact: It’s al-ways better to drive less. Better yet, locally owned businesses also make more local purchases themselves, which require less transportation. It’s a domino effect!

consumers. Why?Simply put, newspapers reach morepeople, more often. Highly portableand highly visible, newspaper ads go

with people and stay with them.That means your business is more likely

to be on their minds when they’re inthe market for related products or

VANCOUVER - Experts studying the second-biggest earthquake measured in Ca-nadian history have zeroed in on the Pacific archipelago of Haida Gwaii as the likely source of a future large quake and tsunami.

The earthquake off Brit-ish Columbia’s coast in Oc-tober 2012 relieved some of the region’s tectonic strain, but new research shows the shifting also increased pres-sure immediately south of the islands along the Queen Charlotte Fault.

“What this has done in essence is raise the possibili-ty of future thrust earth-quakes and tsunamis along this part of the British Co-lumbia margin,” said Thom-as James, a researcher with the Geological Survey of Canada.

James is one of the lead

authors of a compendium of studies analyzing various facets of the recent earth-quake, most of which were published Monday in the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America.

The Pacific and North American tectonic plates mostly slide along one an-other, but where those plates meet at certain points along the Queen Charlotte Fault they also push against each other, he explained.

The release of that push-ing pressure gave rise to the thrust earthquake of 2012.

This type of earthquake is “unusual and to a certain degree unexpected” for the region, added James.

“Any large earthquake can generate a tsunami but thrust earthquakes are espe-cially effective.”

The scientists’ findings were revealed shortly after the provincial government

released a consultation re-port that found B.C. is falling behind on earthquake pre-paredness.

The absence of major seismic activity near densely populated areas has contrib-uted to a culture of public apathy and resulted in gov-ernment diverting resources away from emergency man-agement agencies, conclud-ed the report prepared by American consultant Henry Renteria.

“The problem when you are living in earthquake country is that an earth-quake is inevitable,” said Renteria. “It is going to hap-pen — it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.”

Renteria spoke critically of significant cutbacks and staffing shortages suffered by the province’s lead agen-cies responsible for earth-quake and disaster manage-ment over the past 20 years,

adding that the impact “is beginning to show.”

The report also highlight-ed the role of members of the public in contingency planning.

The minister responsible for Emergency Management B.C., Suzanne Anton, was unavailable for comment but the ministry issued a news release regarding the report saying: “The Province will continue taking signifi-cant strides toward improv-ing disaster preparedness in B.C.”

While the Haida Gwaii earthquake of 2012 caused little structural damage and no serious injuries, in large part thanks to its remoteness, the region experienced tsu-nami run-up of up to 13 me-tres. Some of the land also reportedly shifted a full metre from its original location.

“I was quite amazed at the emotional trauma,” said

seismologist Alison Bird, who travelled to the archi-pelago to drop off scientific equipment and interview residents.

“Some people felt it but they weren’t really all that bothered by it. Other people were quiet shaken up, figura-tively and literally.”

Bird recalled being ap-proached by a “burly, lum-berjack fellow” close to tears who couldn’t stand the rum-blings of the aftershocks, thousands of which could be felt in the weeks following the main event.

He would sleep with the radio on so he couldn’t hear the noise, she said.

While the timeline is un-certain, researchers say B.C. is due for a powerful megath-rust earthquake — popularly described as the Big One —which is forecast to impact more populated regions of the province.

Hi Wendy:I was wondering if you

and your guides could an-swer a few questions for me?

My daughter and I had a falling out last year and I was wondering if you see any type of reconciliation or communication this year from her?

My husband is going in for an operation in June and I was wondering if the opera-tion would be successful?

Will my son meet a nice lady for a permanent rela-tionship soon? Can your guides tell me how many guides and angels I have around me?

n my work place I am sur-rounded by a lot of negativi-ty. Can you tell me what I can do to help myself and create a better workspace for me?

Will I be travelling this year to Europe for holidays?

Feeling Overwhelmed

Dear Feeling Overwhelmed:I asked my guides if you

and your daughter would have a close relationship in the year 2015? The answer was no. I then asked my guides if you would have ver-bal contact with your daugh-ter in 2015? The answer was yes. I then asked if there would be quarrels and trou-ble with your daughter in 2015? The answer was yes.

It seems to us that you

have had problems with your daughter for the last four to five years. My guides feel that she continually manipulates you to make you look like you are the bad one. At this time if you want any type of relationship with your daughter you are going to have to start acting like one of those bouncy head dogs that they put in cars and agree to everything she wants and let her be in con-trol. You also have the choice of standing up for yourself and be in control of your own life and let her live her life until she grows up. It all depends on what type of par-ent you want to be.

Personally if you raise them and they are not dregs of society, they have good paying jobs, they can handle themselves emotionally without taking drugs or alco-hol or prescription drugs, then you have done your job. You need to learn to live your life and learn to be a free spirit again.

You remember, don’t you? It’s called having your own identity being your own person. If it’s any comfort you are not the only one with this problem, believe me. It’s comforting to know that this is not your fault — that this is happening with your daugh-ter. If it were your fault then you would be one of the very few moms having this issue

with their child or children.Live your life and be

happy you are a good mom. If she decides to get a life and become a mature adult and apologizes to you then per-haps you can start from there. However, we don’t feel this is going to happen with this child for quite some time. I mean really could you ever see you and me treating our moms the way these children are treating some of their parents now? It gives me the creeps to feel these emotions from these types of children.

The operation your hus-band is to have in June will be successful. However, we see that he may have to have another operation in 2015. We don’t think it will be for the same problem but we are not sure on that. He also has to check with the anaesthesi-ologist because we feel he has allergies to certain drugs and this may complicate the operation he is to have in June.

Your son will meet several ladies this year that wish to have a permanent relation-ship with him. He seems to

be as my guide states, “foot loose and fancy free.” He’s got the life of a cat licking the cream. He’s still young and he is in no hurry to form any real long-term relationships with a woman at this time.

My guide is showing me an image of a woman that will be coming into his life in 2015 she is fair haired which can also mean a red haired woman. If he meets up with this woman tell him to “run like the wind” she will not be good for him. Then there is another woman with long brown hair, quite a quiet girl she seems nice.

You have eight angels and three guides around you at this time. This means you are in need of more physical, emotional and spiritual healing than you are in need of guidance.

For your work area always have a small fountain or a fish bowl on your desk. If that is too much work for you then wear a rose quartz crys-tal to shield yourself from negativity and to bring only kind loving people into your work area. Also surround yourself with a tube of pink light. See yourself in a tall cylinder of pink illumination like a lipstick tube.

What I do is crawl into my lipstick tube and then I make sure the pink light is extend-ed above my head and below my feet. When you do this

exercise with the pink light you are projecting strong, heavenly energy inward to-ward yourself. And nothing can get in this pink light shield but energies that come from divine love.

Sometimes you will feel tired, or depressed or edgy when you get home from work and you need to do what we call a clearing to get rid of this energy. Try a plant or a few plants next to your bed. Plants are very helpful in ridding the body of toxins. Plants can absorb all that negative energy from our bodies that accumulate throughout our day and send it into what they call the ethers. So purchase a pothos or philodendron plant.

Avoid plants that have prickly or pointy leaves or any pointy leaf variety of plants. The reason for this is their sword like leaves do not promote positive energy flow.

We do see you doing some travelling in the year 2015 but we do not see you going to Europe.

115-year-old Detroit-area woman now listed as the world’s oldest living person still makes plans for a fish-ing trip each year and cred-its God for her longevity.

Jeralean Talley tops a list maintained by the Los An-geles-based Gerontology Research Group, which tracks the world’s lon-gest-living people. Ger-trude Weaver, a 116-year-old Arkansas woman who was the oldest documented person for a few days, died on Monday.

Talley was born May 23, 1899. Asked for her key to longevity, the Detroit Free Press reports that she echoed previous answers on the topic.

“It’s coming from above,” she told the news-paper. “That’s the best ad-vice I can give you. It’s not in my hands or your hands.”

Michael Kinloch, 56, a longtime family friend of Talley’s through their church, said Talley’s men-tal state is “is very sharp.”

“It’s unfortunate that other people passed away, but this has certainly ele-vated her. She’s feeling no pain. She just can’t get around like she used to,” Kinloch said.

Talley’s husband died in 1988 and five generations of her family have lived in the Detroit area. In 2013, her 114th birthday drew the attention of President Barack Obama, who said in a personal note that she’s “part of an extraordinary generation.”

Kinloch said he’s look-ing forward to taking Tall-ey, despite her advanced age, on their annual fishing trip.

“We go to a trout pond in Dexter,” a community about 40 miles west of De-troit, Kinloch said. “She re-ally likes that.”
