This week, the Village of Warfield public works department continued to prepare the Warfield pool for a new cement-based liner. The project will cost the village a cool $50,000 and will be complete by the end of the month. On Thursday, Mike Barta removed the familiar blue tiles, a feature of the pool since 1967.

After months of heated debate, the annual budget bylaw for School District 20 (SD20) for the fiscal year 2013/14 was quietly passed Friday.

The trustees met in quorum at the Trail Middle School in an open meeting and had one member of the public in attendance.

“The budget bylaw was read for $41.8 million, with an operat-ing budget of $35.6 compared to the $36.6 million we had last year,” explained Natalie Verigin, secretary treasurer.

“Although the decisions made have been difficult, it is a relief it is over because now we can focus on implementation.”

Darrel Ganzert, SD20 board chair, said that the impact to the workers of the district was less this year than in past budgets.

“The biggest impact of course, was in the facility changes,” he said. “That was difficult to get through.

“However, the impact to the workers is much less than it could have been.”

The closure of MacLean Elementary to reconfigure Rossland Secondary School to K-9, cut $265,000 from the budget; and combining two Castlegar primary schools cut $38,400 this year, and another $35,000 in 2014.

The money saved in these cuts is cumulative, said Verigin.

“The bottom line is that we are going to get less money next year. We need those savings from the school closure because we are not going to be getting any influx of new dollars going forward.”

Ganzert explained that once the facility changes were dealt with, the

Soon to be on tap, a cleaner and more reliable source of drinking water for the residents of Montrose.

“The Village of Montrose water supply improvements project is nearing comple-tion,” said Kevin Chartres, chief administra-tive officer for the village.

All four pumps, which include two new and two refurbished, were up and running last night (Monday), he said.

“The project will be substantially com-plete when the chlorination goes on-line later this week.”

However, the boil water advisory will not be lifted for another month.

“The chlorine has to run and samples have to be collected for a period of weeks,” explained Chartres.

Once the samples are back, and deter-mined to be clear, the results will then sub-mitted to a drinking water official from the

Interior Health Authority (IHA).Chartres said that it is the responsibility

of IHA to lift the advisory, but first, clean samples, collected over a period of time, have to be provided.

“Even though the pumps are working and the chlorination begins this week, a ser-ies of tests have to be passed to lift the boil water advisory and that could be a month down the road.”

Once the chlorination process begins, residents may notice a strong odour in the tap water.

Chartres said it will take some time to obtain a consistent level of chlorine in the system, and levels could fluctuate from

It won’t buy a cup of coffee...

B y T i m e s s T a f fThe four candidates vying to rep-

resent the Kootenay West riding faced a wide array of questions dur-ing Monday’s all-candidates forum at the Cominco Gym in Trail.

A crowd of about 60 people lis-tened to the candidates, heard ques-tions from a media panel then posed their own in an effort to determine who should get their support in the May 14 provincial election.

While many of the questions were tailored for the provincial responses from the two main party candi-dates, the NDP and BC Liberals, on issues such as ferries and health care, the independents also offered their views from an entirely differ-ent perspective, when it came to genetically modified foods, educa-tion, the right to recall or the rights of municipalities.

Incumbent MLA Katrine Conroy of the NDP continued her party’s mantra of change for the better while detailing the NDP’s spending commitments.

BC Liberal candidate Jim Postnikoff reminded voters the power that comes with electing a representative that is part of the rul-ing government. He also repeated his party’s platform of building the economy to bring jobs to the prov-ince.

The two independent candidates offered contrasting visions.

Joseph Hughes provided a pas-sionate pitch reminding voters, “what party politics has done for you.”

His vision of an independent rep-resentative that stands for the vot-ers and not a party resonated with many in the audience.

Glen Byle, who was often short on his answers, presented his Technology Enabled true Democracy (TED), which gives voters a voice on every issue through websites. It allows each voter to determine what agenda he will present to the legislature.

The open questions gave better insight into the candidates.

Conroy’s experience was on dis-play as she fielded all questions and provided in-depth knowledge of the workings of the government. Her role as the NDP critic for seniors affairs allowed her to answer ques-tions on health care and senior care in the same breath. She advocated better funding for home support in an effort to keep seniors in their home.

Postnikoff, who seemed more comfortable talking about the econ-omy and jobs, often reading from the Liberals party platform and left questions on seniors with cryptic

answers such as a new program was taking over the United Way to help deal with poverty and seniors with-out providing more details.

One topic that hit close to home came from School District 20 trust-ee Darrell Ganzert who questioned the downloading of costs on school districts by the provincial govern-ment.

Again the two main parties offered different takes.

Postnikoff repeated the Liberals simple formula of economy plus jobs equals more funding. He said the Liberals have pitched a 10-year deal to the B.C. Teachers Federation in order to get spending under con-trol.

Conroy, on the other hand, said increasing staff levels is a priority to improving education for each student especially when it comes to teacher assistants and librarians.

The affordable housing topic brought another unclear response from Postnikoff who alluded to a major overhaul on the horizon without any details.

Conroy was more specific explaining the NDP has pledged 1,500 units of housing per year for four years.

Hughes said each community has different problems and requires different solutions that need direct

action from the riding’s representa-tive.

Byle once again said he would rely on his system to gauge what the voters want in the riding.

It was only fitting one of the final questions of the night from the floor asked candidates where the money would come to fulfill all the promises.

Byle offered a plan to tax accord-ing to services, while Hughes said the solutions from the Kootenay West riding must be developed in the region and not dependent on what is fed from Victoria.

Conroy said the NDP’s platform of taxing will be aimed at corpora-tions like banks, people making over $150,000 per year and heavy polluters.

“We will not increase the deficit,” she said, adding the NDP is only promising what it can afford.

Postnikoff read from the party platform and emphasized the party’s jobs plan leading to the goal of a debt-free B.C.

The party is promising a freeze on taxes and carbon taxes, the potential windfall from the oil and gas industry for a Prosperity Fund and, of course, jobs.

Another forum is on tap tonight in Rossland at the Miner’s Hall at 7 p.m.

FROM PAGE 1budget became a fair-ly simple matter.

“Partly because the superintendent and his team found some legitimate and creative ways to move the funding of sup-port teachers from one area to another.

“This really saved a lot of potential job losses.”

Ganzert said that although counsel-ling, administrative and teacher-librarian time will be reduced, the teachers with temporary con-tracts will be most affected.

“A fairly large number of teach-ers are in temporary contracts, and those just simply won’t be renewed.

“There will be temp jobs coming up in September, just not as many.”

Further cuts, in particular custodial positions, are pro-jected to take a toll on the appearance and upkeep of district schools.

“I do have to say that CUPE has also suffered losses in this budget,” said Ganzert. “And to the board, these cuts are very distasteful and will certainly affect students.”

Ganzert said that the board has very clearly heard the mes-sage from parents, that a school that is not as clean as it has been in the past, may have a psychological impact on both stu-dents and staff.

“And a less clean building may make it seem that the institu-tion is not as respect-ed as it was before.

“This is not some-thing, as trustees, we want as our legacy.”

I am always happy to answer bridge questions either by email or in

person.Email Query: He

was perplexed by my suggested line of play for the column on April 24. I have included the hands again for your perusal. He thought I should win the open-ing lead with the ace of diamonds, cash two rounds of hearts, ruff a heart (making the last two good), draw trump ending in dummy and cash the remain-ing good hearts thus avoiding the trump over-ruff in clubs.

As you may remem-ber: My line of play was to ruff two clubs in dummy.

This fails to do as well as ruffing the hearts good because of how the cards lie. I have constructed the hands not to match the best percentages, but to illustrate a point that even with an over-ruff, it is bet-ter in the long run to ruff two clubs instead of expecting an equal heart break. The opponents have more

clubs than hearts so it is more likely a heart will be ruffed not a club.

Ruff in the Short-Trump Hand: The hands were designed on a lesson of ruffs in the short-trump hand. Ruffing with the king, ten or seven gains a trick (assuming there is no over-ruff) while ruffing with any of the spades in the long-trump hand (South) does not gain a trick unless there is a cross-ruff or a dummy rever-sal.

Do not play results: The best way to play bridge is to play the cards choosing the high percentage plays. When one does this, one will go down occasionally, but will be successful in the long run. Here are some probabilities from Dorothy Hayden Truscott’s book, ‘Winning declarer play.’ (1969, p 178)

Missing six cards, the suit will break three-three 36 per cent of the time. Missing seven cards, the suit will break five-two or worse 37% of the time.

Getting a club-overruff is as unlikely as get-ting the heart suit fall-ing three-three.

Dummy Reversal: A dummy reversal reverses the roles of dummy’s and declar-er’s hands. Declarer ruffs with the long trump hand until there are fewer trump than in dummy and then draws trump with the dummy. When a trump is played in dummy with declar-er’s hand having no more, a loser can be discarded.

FROM PAGE 10.2 to 1.5 parts per million (ppm), with 0.2 ppm being the minimum chlorine residual required at the distribution extremities.

“Don’t be alarmed if you are hit with a strong smell of chlorine, there will be different residual levels in the distribution system at first.”

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 IHA because sample tests detected persis-tent 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.

Later that year, $17,000 was spent on water tests to prepare for the new well and chlorination facility.

In January 2012, the village received federal assistance with these infrastructure costs when they were granted $1.3 million from the Gas Tax Fund to replace the failing well and build a chlorination facility.

B y B l a c k P r e s sAdvance polls open

today across B.C., and Elections BC is work-ing on getting more people to vote early.

In Greater Trail, the advance polling station will be open at the Waneta Plaza.

The office, at 124 8100 Highway 3B. is located using an out-side door between the two main entrances to the mall.

Advance voting will be from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Today until Saturday.

Elections BC sur-veyed voters after the 2009 election, which saw overall turnout fall to a record low 51 per cent of eligible voters.

The most common reason given for not

voting was being too busy on election day, set for May 14.

All 85 constituen-cies have advance polling locations open from today to Saturday. With hours of operation extended in recent years, 17.5 per cent of 2009 votes were cast in advance polls.

Elections BC has experimented with new options for this vote, includ-ing an advance poll at Kelowna Airport. The Comox Elections BC office, in a former car dealership with drive-through bays, set up a drive-through advance poll.

“We know voters are busy and we look for innovative ways to make the provin-cial electoral process effective, efficient and accessible,” said Chief Electoral Officer Keith Archer.

Political parties have recognized the value of advance vot-ing as well.

Volunteers have more time to contact and drive their sup-porters to the polls, and early voters can’t change their minds in the final days of cam-paigning.

Eligibility and identification require-ments, and a list of advance and election day polling places is available here. http://www.elections.b c . c a / i n d e x . p h p /voting/#where

Registered voters should bring their vot-ing cards and either one piece of govern-ment identification or two documents such as utility bills or bank statements that show the voter’s name and residential address.

Firefighters respond to car fireB y s h e r i r e g n i e r

Times StaffTuesday morning, what began

as a test drive turned into a red hot affair.

Just after 8:30 a.m., Trail region-al fire rescue received an emer-gency call reporting a car fire.

Three firefighters from Company 4 responded to the incident, and arrived on scene at Highway 3B and Redstone Drive, where the vehicle was in flames.

A mechanic was test driving

a small model sports car up the Rossland hill, when it caught fire, said Grant Tyson, acting captain for the regional fire rescue.

“We arrived on the scene in six minutes, and had it extinguished in nine. Pretty straight forward, no injuries, but the car was destroyed by fire.”

The cause of the incident was not deemed suspicious, and is not under investigation said RCMP ser-geant Rob Hawton of the Greater Trail detachment.

OPINION

Party platforms widen generational gapBritish Columbians

want their polit-icians to work for all generations and

not inflame intergenera-tional tension.

Problem is, that’s just what the B.C. Liberal and NDP platforms are doing this election.

Take, for example, the gap that exists between what governments spend on seniors and what they spend on those under age 45. Federal and provincial government spending adds up to about $45,000 per retiree each year, mostly on medical care, old age secur-ity and other retirement subsidies. By contrast, we spend just $12,000 per per-son under age 45, including for grade school, post-sec-ondary, medical care, tax breaks for families, employ-ment insurance, etc.

This big spending gap doesn’t make sense any more. Since 1976, hous-ing prices have gone up over 150 per cent in B.C. and higher housing prices mean more wealth for those who bought homes decades ago. But higher prices also make home ownership far harder for their kids and grandchildren. Even rent-ing is harder, with wages for

young British Columbians down $4 an hour compared to 1976, even though they have more post-secondary credentials (and more stu-dent debt)!

So how are the B.C. Liberals and NDP propos-ing to narrow the gap in spending between retirees and younger generations during the current election campaign? They’re not. In fact, both will grow the gap, raising spending per retiree to around $46,000 while leaving Gens X, Y and their kids at around $12,250.

The Liberals promise to spend $1.5 billion a year more on medical care by 2015, which dispropor-tionately benefits retirees. They also propose to add just $0.066 billion more to investments in young-er generations, through post-secondary, grade school and programs in the Ministry for Children and Family development. The NDP propose to spend $1.6 billion more on med-ical care each year by 2015, compared to $0.369 billion on younger generations.

Sustaining the medical care system is important as our population ages; we all care about the health of our aging family and friends.

But do you know any retir-ees who want investments in their health to push aside investments in their kids and grandchildren? Why do the Liberals and NDP keep pushing British Columbians to make this trade-off?

To pay for their spend-ing increases, both parties propose tax increases. Both will raise corporate taxes as well as income taxes for individuals earning more than $150,000 a year. In short, both parties are will-ing to raise taxes to cover expenses for the aging population, but leave only crumbs in the government cupboard for the young-er generations struggling with lower wages and far higher housing costs.

The pickings are espe-cially slim for Gens X and Y

starting families. A detailed analysis of the platforms reveals that Liberals believe families can be kept afford-able by increasing the budget for the Ministry of Children and Family Development by around $22 a person under age 45, while the NDP implies that a $62 yearly increase is suf-ficient.

It is clear that neither party is concerned that young families lose around $15,000 in income to share a year of parental leave at home with a new baby. Or that child care servi-ces generally cost between $8,000 and $14,000 annu-ally – more than university tuition.

Do other parties offer a better generational deal?

While the B.C. Conservatives don’t pro-pose investing in the gen-eration raising young kids, some individual candi-dates do support substan-tial investments in family policy for Gens X and Y.

The Greens are con-cerned with intergenera-tional equity, specifically with respect to saddling younger generations with the costs of climate change. The party also claims we need to address the diffi-

culty that young adults face in “establishing themselves in their careers, gaining independence from their parents, and having to delay starting families and pur-chasing homes.” Sounds good, but the Green plat-form doesn’t provide suf-ficient detail with which to assess whether their approach will narrow the generational spending gap.

But one thing is cer-tain. Whether British Columbians elect the Liberals or the NDP, the new government will be taxing more and spending more on retirees, with little left over for Gens X, Y and their children.

This has to change this. More Gen X and Yers need to show up at the ballot box on May 14 so that all parties know not to neglect them next time around. And more boomers and seniors have to actively voice their opposition to party plat-forms that pit the health of grandparents against the well-being of their kids and grandchildren.

Can anyone defeat the NDP’s Katrine Conroy in the Kootenay West riding?

In its financial platform,the provincial NDP has announced its intention to apply a capital tax to all B.C. Credit Unions with capital in excess of $20 million should they be elected.

If this policy is implemented,it will have a significant impact on our organization and the people and organizations associated with us.

This tax will be applied regardless of how profitable the credit union is. While

other provinces in Canada apply a capital tax on business, cooperative enterprises such as credit unions,are exempted from the tax.

As we understand this proposal,the cost to Kootenay Savings will be roughly $780,000 per year and will con-tinue to increase annually as our capital base increases.

This is a significant cost that will ultimately be borne by our members,our communities and our employees,as it will

have to be paid from income that would otherwise be shared with our members,contributed to community organiza-tions or paid in salaries and benefits.

We sincerely hope that the NDP will reconsider this pro-posed tax on Credit Unions should they form the next provincial government.

Brent TremblayPresident and CEO

Kootenay Savings Credit Union

Proposed tax will have negative impact

The fact that climate con-tinues to change, as it has since the beginning of time, doesn’t mean that carbon dioxide (“CO2”) is now play-ing a significant role as a driver of climate. This is what Aaron Cosbey would like you to believe in his letter to the editor (Climate change evi-dence exists, Trail Times, May 3).

The “climate change” nar-rative (aka “human-induced, global warming”) has the potential to undermine our economy and, in the extreme, to reduce us to third world status. It encourages pol-iticians to implement anti-hydrocarbon-fuel policies (aka “green-energy policies”), which will inevitably result in their respective economies suffering irreversible damage.

The economies of Ontario and Europe demonstrate the job-destroying nature of so-called green-energy policies. For example, the Kidd Creek smelter, Timmins, Ontario, was recently closed and the mine’s concentrates are now being shipped to Noranda to take advantage of the lower power

rates in Quebec. The bird-killing, wind-turbine farms of Ontario will not support an industrial economy.

Contrary to what Mr. Cosbey stated, pumping more CO2 into the atmosphere is not only harmless but will enhance the “greening” of the planet, including crop production. He correctly states that the “CO2 stored in limestone” is greater than what is in the atmos-phere. However, Mr. Cosbey fails to recognize the origins of that “stored CO2”.

Yes, Mr. Cosbey is correct in stating that “last September’s Arctic ice cover was the low-est on record” but fails to tell us that the record was only for the period 2002 to 2012. Furthermore, he fails to tell us that a severe Arctic storm was responsible for the reduced ice cover in 2012 and that Alaskans are now experiencing what seems to be an endless winter.

More important, the vari-ation of Arctic sea ice does not provide support for the hypothesis that CO2 is a driver of climate. http://www.ijis.iarc.uaf.edu/seaice/extent/

Nor does the apparent increased flow of Antarctic ice offer any support for the hypothesis. With temperatures less than minus 40 degrees, it cannot be attributed to CO2-induced global warming.

The sole support for the alarmist’s message is found in the mythical computer world of fatally-flawed climate mod-els.

The following link provides a graph showing the flawed nature of 44 climate models.

http://www.drroyspencer.com/2013/04/global-warming-slowdown-the-view-from-space/

As for Mr. Cosbey’s assertion that “climate scientists have never called it global warm-ing”, I will leave that for the reader to decide the veracity of this statement.

If our politicians lack the courage to denounce the false climate-change narrative and its wrongful demonization of CO2, BC will surely follow Ontario down its “green” and scandal-ridden road to bank-ruptcy.

T h e N e l s o N s T a rKaslo residents are being

asked whether they’re will-ing to turn their munici-pal fire department into a regional district service with annual taxation of $284,000 and borrow up to $1.6 million to build a new fire hall.

Ainsworth and Woodbury are being asked to approve up to $24,000

a year to establish a ser-vice that would see them permanently provided with fire protection from Balfour and Kaslo.

Regional District of Central Kootenay fire chief Terry Swan said the fig-ure for the new Kaslo hall includes $400,000 to pay off existing debt from equip-ment purchases.

“These are the sort of

things I can’t predict nor can I make expectations around,” he said. “I strong-ly believe it will be under budget. It’s just a matter of the community getting behind it.”

The present Kaslo fire hall, built in the 1970s, is attached to the village office. Swan said it doesn’t meet modern building standards, lacks space for

equipment and doesn’t have a washroom — fire-fighters currently use the one in the gas station next door.

“It’s a tough pill to swal-low to face that tax increase, but it’s an investment in their future, I believe,” Swan said.

The building would be designed to accommodate all emergency responders

in Kaslo, he added, includ-ing BC Ambulance once the contract on its present space expires, and search and rescue.

If the new hall is approved, it would be built next to the arena. If the vote fails, the next move will be up to the village. If the Ainsworth referendum fails, they will have no offi-cial fire protection.

B y J i m B a i l e yTimes Sports EditorGreater Trail Track

and Field athletes ran away with great results as over 100 athletes took to the track at the 12th annual Canadian Legion Track and Field meet at Haley Park on Saturday.

“We had 102 com-petitors and quite a few records fell,” said organizer Lina Horan by email. “It was a beautiful hot day – perfect for a track meet.”

The Greater Trail Legion got the meet started on the right foot, leading the ath-letes onto the field during the open-ing ceremonies that culminated in the Legion’s zone com-mander Bill McGuire donating $500 to the Trail Track and Field Club (TTFC).

And the sun shone brightly on TTFC’s contingent as it cap-tured over 40 podium finishes in a meet that saw 26 records fall.

In the nine-year-old division, Jendaya Shields won gold in each of the six events she entered, and set four meet records in the 100-metre dash, 60-m. hurdles, long jump, and shot put.

Her 13.2-second hurdles time eclipsed previous record hold-

er TTFC’s Hannah Schultze’s 2011 stan-dard of 13.4 while her 3.24-metre long jump beat the previous rec-ord by almost a foot.

Meanwhile, Maya Amantea was literally right behind her tak-ing silver in long jump, high jump, shot put, 60 and 100-m. dash, the 600-m. run and a bronze in 60

metre hurdles.In the boys 10-year-

old, 100-metre hur-dles, Finley Kinghorn took silver.

Griffin Tatangelo dominated the 14-year-old boys cat-egory, claiming first-place in the high jump, long jump, and hammer throw.

In the 12-year-old division, Rossland’s Megan Stanley sprint-ed to gold in the 100-m. dash, as well as topping the podium in high jump and long jump, and taking silver in the 80-m. hurdles.

Ethan Jang, also of Rossland, took top honours in the boys 100 and 300-m. sprints, the long jump, and the 3-kg. shot put.

In the 13-year-old girls, TTFC’s Georgia Merry won gold in the high jump and shot put, while taking silver in the 80-m. hurdles and long jump, and bronze in discus and 100-m. sprint.

Nicole Merry mean-while captured gold in the 80-m. hurdles and silver in the high jump.

B y T i m e s s T a f fTrail native Riley Brandt and

Team B.C. brought home its first gold at the 12th annual National Aboriginal Hockey championship in Kahnawake, Que. on the week-end.

Team B.C. Beat Ontario 5-3 in the final game Saturday to clinch the championship. Brandt, who played with the Beaver Valley Nitehawks last season, scored four times and assisted on four others during the tournament.

The fifth seed to start the tourna-ment, Team B.C. suffered only one loss, 7-2, in the round-robin to host Quebec’s Eastern Door and North, before taking out Saskatchewan 5-4, Team North 7-0, Atlantic 7-1, and Manitoba with a 4-3 semifinal victory in overtime to send them to the final.

Fruitvale’s Lindsay Swanson played on Team B.C.’s Female team but did not fare as well, going 0-5 in the tournament.

The Team B.C. program pro-

vides an opportunity for the prov-ince’s top Aboriginal hockey play-ers to compete at the National championships, which celebrates sport excellence as well as cultural unity and pride.

B y T i m e s C o n T r i B u T o rThe West Kootenay Zone 1 jun-

ior golf circuit was in full swing on the weekend, hitting the links at Granite Pointe in Nelson on Saturday and Christina Lake Golf Course Sunday.

Both days saw the cream of the circuit’s crop rise to the top as Birchbank’s Brenan Moroney and Tyler McKay shot identical rounds forcing playoffs in the two events.

On Saturday, Moroney and McKay birdied the par 5, 18th hole to finish with identical scores of 3-over 75, forcing a playoff. But Moroney would win it, executing perfectly by dropping his second shot onto the green and finishing the 350 yard par 4 with a two-putt par for the victory on the first play-off hole.

However, on Sunday at Christina Lake, McKay would turn the tables.

Posting identical rounds of 74 in regulation, the pair headed to another playoff. It would remain even over the first three playoff holes, but on the 500-yard par-5, fourth hole, McKay stepped up and calmly knocked in a birdie to win it.

Results: At Granite Point, Moroney took

overall honours with the playoff

victory, while McKay would take top spot in the age 17-18 division, with Alex Rugg of Champion Lakes Golf Course coming second after shooting an 80.

The Surrey Eagles’ trophy collection con-tinues to grow, and just one more – the RBC Cup – remains left in their aim.

The Eagles, already winners of the BC Hockey League’s Cliff McNabb, Ron Boileau Memorial Trophy and Fred Page Cup – for winning the Coastal Conference, regular-season title and play-off title, respective-ly – added a fourth piece of silverware Saturday, beating the Brooks Bandits 4-1 in Nanaimo to claim top spot at the Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup.

The victory also earned Surrey a berth in the upcoming RBC Cup national cham-pionships, May 11-19 in Summerside, P.E.I.

“At the beginning of the season, if you asked me if we would have won, it wouldn’t have crossed my mind,” said Demico Hannoun, who was named Surrey’s play-er-of-the-game. “But it’s a great feeling right now.”

The win over Brooks – the Alberta Junior Hockey League champions – avenged a round-robin loss a week earlier, when the Bandits jumped out to an early lead en route to a 4-2 win.

“We came into this game with a ven-geance,” said forward Trevor Cameron. “We wanted to come in and lay it to them. We had a hot start and scored a couple of early goals and then we just never stopped.”

A day after los-ing to Surrey, Brooks defeated the Yorkton Terriers 1-0 to claim the second and final western berth in the RBC Cup.

And while getting the victory Saturday – thus saving them-selves from a do-or-die game against Yorkton Sunday – was a nice bonus for the Birds, Erhart insisted after Saturday’s win that it wasn’t the most important thing.

“(Qualifying) any way would’ve been fine, you just want to get in,” he said.

“We’re excited to go and we didn’t care how we got there. We just wanted to continue to get bet-ter as the week went on, and I thought we played our best game tonight.”

The trip to the RBC Cup is the third in franchise history for the Eagles, who made back-to-back trips to nationals in 1997 and ‘98.

In addition to the Eagles and Bandits, the teams at the RBC will be the Truro Bearcats, Minnesota Wilderness and host Summerside Capitals.

Leisure

Dear Annie: My grandfather passed away last month, and the wake was catered by a close friend of the family who owns a res-taurant. He closed off a section of his dining hall for our family.

The meal included 15 children under the age of 10, and they were absolute monsters. My nephew threw his shoe across the room and then tripped a waitress. These kids crawled under the tables, pok-ing us with forks and smearing food into the carpet. My cousin’s 8-year-old daughter put open condiment packets in my purse and a baked potato in my mother’s coat pock-et and then mashed it into the fabric.

People from the other area of the res-taurant complained after my nephew threw food at them. My hus-band and I left, leav-ing a large tip for the servers. Other relatives did the same. The din-ing room was an utter

disaster. Before we left town the next mor-ning, my husband and I stopped by the res-taurant and left addi-tional money for the inconvenience of clean-ing food out of the car-pet. My grandmother asked the owner for a full bill of the dam-age and presented it to those children whose offspring made the mess. It started a huge family row, and of course, nobody is tak-ing responsibility for their kids.

I’ve never seen such appalling behavior, and I doubt my grandfather would have appreci-ated such disrespect. My husband and I are tempted to send the

restaurant owner an anonymous money order because we doubt he will otherwise be compensated.

My parents are sup-posed to have their 50th anniversary party at this restaurant next month, and the guest list is almost identical. They’re too embarrassed to go, but don’t want to lose their deposit. Should I send the money order? Whatever happened to manners? -- Shocked Granddaughter

Dear Shocked: They apparently got stuck with the mashed pota-toes. What terrible behavior from the parents who allowed their children to run amok. And they do their children a disser-vice by making them unwelcome every-where.

We think your par-ents should go ahead with their plans to cele-brate at that restaurant but issue invitations only to the adults. Children who are too

immature to behave in public and whose parents refuse to con-trol them should not be included in these events. We suspect your parents paid the cleaning bill, so instead of “donating” money to the restaurant, you might consider doing something special on your folks’ behalf.

Dear Annie: Every time I look in the papers, I see articles about wars, death, etc., but never about the homeless, especially homeless children and runaways. Why is that? These children are our future. There seems to be money for every-thing from new jails to fixing swimming pools, but not a word about money for the home-less. Why? -- Frustrated

Dear Frustrated: In the news busi-ness, death “sells.” Runaways, not so much. But there are articles on the home-less if you look, and shelters are funded through federal, state

and city government allocations, as well as by private philan-thropy.

You sound like a kind person. Please look for a shelter in your area and volun-teer your time. It would be much appreciated.

Dear Annie: I read

the letter from “Cal in Maine,” who com-plained that his grand-children rarely com-municate with him. I have reread and shared that letter many times.

I totally agree with him, as my older grand-children seem to care little about keeping in

touch. But I also now remember how little I cared about keeping in touch with my own grandparents 40 years ago. I guess what goes around comes around. -- Lois in Omaha

For Thursday, May 9, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today’s new Moon is the best time all year to think about earning money. You also might think about how to get the best use of what you own. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today the only New Moon all year in your sign is tak-ing place. Take a look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve your appearance. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Think about how much you’re willing to work behind the scenes and not get credit for what you do. It’s important to find a happy balance so that you don’t feel resentful. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Are you happy with friends in your life? Do you hang out with quality peo-ple? Remember: If you want

to have friends, be friendly! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) How do you react to authority in your life? Are you defensive or arro-gant? And yet, if you are in authority, how do want oth-ers to react to you? Think about this. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) What further education or training might you get that will improve your job. What travel and further learning can enrich your life? LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is the best day of the year to think about how to reduce your debt and best use the resources of others. Tidy up some loose ends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The only New Moon opposite your sign all year occurs today, which is why this is the perfect day to think about how you can improve your closest rela-

tionships. Would you like you as a friend? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) What can you do to be more efficient and produc-tive at work? Make a list of a few things you can do to make your life easier. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) If life is all work and no play, then it’s time for you to think about this imbalance. It’s important

to plan for fun, vacations and opportunities to be cre-ative. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) What can you do to improve where you live? And what can you do to improve family relation-ships? Today is New Moon is the perfect day to make these resolutions. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Are you as clear as pos-

sible in all your communi-cation? Do you listen when others speak? Think about this today. YOU BORN TODAY You appreciate beautiful things, especially antiques. You also appreciate kind-ness and generosity in rela-tionships, which you are ready to give and expect in return. Many of you have a lovely speaking voice -- which is helpful, because you don’t hesitate to speak

up for the rights of the underprivileged. In year ahead, your primary focus will be on partnerships and close friendships. Birthdate of: J.M. Barrie, author; John Corbett, actor; Candice Bergen, actress. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.
