City signs on to refugee protection

K A I T Y B ROW NTownsman Staff

On Thursday, May 9, Mayor Wayne Stetski of the city of Cranbrook met with locals who are passionate about the rights of refugees and presented an official declaration that Cran-brook is proud to pro-tect refugees.The city is the first to take this step.

For about 15 years, the East Kootenay Friends of Burma has been helping people escape persecution in their countries of ori-gin. On Thursday, Shauna Jimenez, an as-socation director, praised the way City Hall has responded.

“The Kimberley and Cranbrook mayors were

the first in Canada to proclaim that the mu-nicipalities each are proud to protect refu-gees, which is part of the Canadian Council for Refugees’ national cam-paign,” Jimenez said.

“Wayne was actual-ly, I think, the first Mayor out of everymu-nicipally to proclaim that.

“The Canadian Council for Refugees is really proud of Wayne, and the East Kootenay Friends of Burma, who have been sponsoring refugees to this com-munity for about 30 years, is also really proud of Wayne,” she said.

Cranbrook is first to write a declaration protecting refugees,

with the EK Friends of Burma and the Canadian Council of Refugees

Cranbrook will be represented in China and Korea next month as two members of council join a delega-tion to those countries.

The delegation is to build on the relation-ship with two cities in

particular, Wonju, Korea and Taicang, China that began as part of the provincial government’s Asia Pa-cific Initiative. The province put forward $50,000 regionally for the initiative with the expectation that Cran-brook take a regional

lead in the matter. The initiative sets

out to boost B.C.’s eco-nomic prosperity by “increasing trade, in-vestment and knowl-edge collaboration with the economic drivers of the 21st century.”

A former high school boxer who led a vicious beat down of another prisoner at KRCC should be able to serve three months of jail time on weekends, his lawyer argued Thursday.

Kyle Walsh, 24, pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm

for an incident that occurred on Dec. 10, 2010.

Crown lawyer Iain Currie said the attack on Kevin Winters was planned and executed among inmates within minutes after he was put into the same cell as a man he’d shot months earlier.

“Origins of this incident were a gang dispute in the city of Cran-

brook,” Currie told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop.

Video provided by the jail showed Walsh conversing with the Cranbrook shooting victim Chad Munroe and other inmates shortly after Winters was placed in the jail unit.

Cranbrook youth band The Good Ol’ Goats were the big win-ners in this year’s Koote-nay Music Awards.

The six-piece band, whose members range in age from 16- to 17-years old, was named Artist of The Year, as well as Best Roots and Blues artist. Too young to legally enter Spiritbar in Nelson, where the awards were handed out Friday night, one of the band members’ dads accepted the tro-phies on their behalf.

Kootenay Music Award nominees were shortlisted by a panel of five music industry pros,

then the public had a chance to vote daily on-line for their favourites. The awards went to the artists who collected the most votes.

More young talent was highlighted in the Best New Artist catego-ry, with 18-year-old Sel-kirk College music stu-dent Dylann Heidi tak-ing the title.

Other winners in-cluded Fernie’s Shred

Kelly in the Song of the Year and Best Live Act categories. Nelson’s Brian Rosen won Album of The Year for his 2012 release Choose Your Choice.

Nelson’s Thus Far won Best Rock/Punk/Metal; Castlegar’s Motes and Oats received Best Country/Folk; Nelson’s Yan Zombie took home Best Electronic Produc-er; and Nelson’s Rafferty

Funksmith was named Best DJ.

The Kootenay Music Awards is an annual event, now in its second year. Proceeds from the event support a founda-tion that gives scholar-ships to musicians.

The Kootenay Music Awards are presented by Nelson Brewing Com-pany and Black Press.

Platinum sponsors include Kootenay Co-op

Radio, Vantage Point, Nelson and District Credit Union, AM Ford, Selkirk College.

Other sponsors are Wapiti Music Festival, Kootenay Savings Credit Union, Bee Kissed Body Piercing, Nelson Koote-nay Lake Tourism, Chat-terson Drive, Our Glass, Ric’s Lounge and Grill, Tribute Boardshop and Whitewater Ski Resort.

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.

• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.

• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.

• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.

• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

Jiminez said it has been an ongoing quest y the communities to try to correct negative connotations that seem to accompany the sub-ject of immigration. Cranbrook, she said, has been a very sup-portive and nurturing environment for the refugees.

Jimenez said that the Friends of Burma has been sponsoring refugees, getting them out of some perilous situations in their home countries. The Friends have been fighting the stigma that immigrants are some-how unbeneficial to their host communi-ties.

“We’re meant to be people who protect ref-ugees, not people who are afraid of refugees,” Jimenez said.

With this first step, the Mayor is trying to encourage Cranbrook as a safe haven for refu-gees.

“I want to see Cran-brook become even more multicultural than it already is,” Stets-ki said.

Students of T.M. Roberts Elementary have been learning of how privileged they are in their communities and the importance of welcoming refugees.

Joy Poch, a T.M. stu-dent, helped create the banner that reads “Proud to Protect Refu-gees” that was used at Thursday’s proclama-tion.

Adem Salim, from Eritrea, came to the school an told her class about the difficulties people in that country live with on a daily basis.

She also said that her class made the banner to show every-one in their communi-ty, and hopefully peo-ple outside of Cran-brook as well, the im-portance of welcoming and showing respect to newcomers.

Barb Ryeburn, a di-rector of the Friends of Burma, has a lot to say about the significance of the declaration that Cranbrook has made.

“We’re thrilled that

Cranbrook agreed to make the proclamation that they are a city that is proud to protect refu-gees,” she said.

Ryeburn, like Jimenez, emphasizes that there shouldn’t be negative connotations about refugees.

“This is their initia-tive, to encourage com-munities across Cana-da to declare that they are proud to protect refugees,” she said. “Part of it is a response to media that is going in the other direction because of fears — about terrorism and all sorts of things.

“The majority of people who come here as refugees, well actu-ally all of them who come as sponsored ref-ugees, are identified as refugees because they are fleeing from where their lives are in dan-ger.”

Ryeburn said that Canada is doing the right thing by offering refugees a place where they can be safe.

There is a core group of about six main vol-unteer directors who are running the East Kootenay Friends of Burma. This group has been spreading, help-ing other refugee groups in Creston, Nel-son and Calgary. Rye-burn said a chapter will soon be starting in Fernie.

They have spon-sored many refugees from different places including Thailand, Er-itrea and Columbia.

The Friends of Burma have had an im-pact the East Kootenay, but in turn, the refu-gees that come here have made their mark — on not only the city but on the people of Cranbrook. Ryeburn, for one, said that work-ing with the refugees has given her a lot of meaning in her life.

“I am really proud of what refugees bring to Cranbrook,” she said. “Just like what the mayor was saying, they increase the diversity here, they bring us a vision of what the world is like that we can’t imagine.”

When discussion first began around the need to rehab the con-crete flume in Mark Creek, a group of white water enthusiasts ap-proached Kimberley City Council with the idea of inserting a white water course into the flume.

They said it would be a great downtown fea-ture, drawing tourists for competitions. Coun-cil was receptive to the idea, but said the group would have to source their own funding, as the City’s primary focus in the project was health and safety.

The first phase of the flume, downstream of Highway 95A, is com-plete and no white water features were added. However, the kayak group had always felt that phase 2 or 3 would be a more appropriate place for the feature.

That didn’t stop them from getting out the kayaks this past Wednesday and seeing what kind of fun could be had in the first phase of the project.

Turns out quite a bit, says paddler Alex Buter-man.

”There wasn’t any mentionable feature for us to report, however it is a step in the right di-rection,” he said.

He says the paddlers still hope that funds can be found for a hydrolo-gist to build safe, acces-sible and playable fea-tures to “maximize the fun in the flume”.

Buterman says they are a little disappointed there wasn’t an oppor-tunity for them to in-spect the first portion of the flume project for po-tential white water fea-tures, but they remain committed to finding funding.

“This really makes me want to push for a hydrologist white water group that actually does water scale modelling and builds safe, usable features.”

They have ap-proached the Columbia Basin Trust about fund-ing for a hydrologist and have received some positive encourage-ment, he says.

The group is also so-

liciting promises of in-kind fund-ing to help hauling rock, etc., to reduce costs. There is a bank ac-count set up at Kootenay Savings in Kimberley called Mark Creek White Water Initiative, and dona-tions are gratefully accepted.

As for Wednesday evening he says there was quite a buzz around the first stage of the flume.

“Many spectators, paddlers and neighbours peered over the banks to see what all the excite-ment was about. Even though

Mark Creek gets paddled by creek boats, never have I seen so many “play boats” in the creek.”

He says the group still plans to revisit Council to remind them that they still want to find a way to make the project go ahead.

Local white water enthusiasts took to the rushing waters of Mark Creek last Wednesday evening to try out the new flume section. It is the goal of this group to have a white water feature added to the flume project, which is currently on hold until the City can secure funding.

The attack began as Walsh, who boxed as an amateur in high school, sucker punched Winters in the back of the head.

Winters was then set upon by three other inmates, including Munroe and received a vicious beating for 20 seconds before guards entered the unit.

“Winters was just sitting there and he’s obviously struck with-out warning and goes quickly to the ground,” Currie said. “At no point does Mr. Winters appear to move or fight back.”

Currie said Walsh continued to punch and kick Winters as he lay on the ground defenceless.

The shooting of Munroe in October of 2009 triggered a gang war and plot to kill a rival drug dealer in Cranbrook. Three men

were convicted in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops earlier this month of counselling murder of one of Winters’ associates.

The inmates involved in the beating received sentenced ranging from 12 to 24 months.

But defence lawyer Gavin Jones said Walsh is not the same violent young man he was from 18-21, when he revelled in his reputation as a tough guy both in and out of jail.

Following the beating, Walsh was placed in isolation and then segregation, where he was locked up 23 hours a day for four months.

After his release on strict bail conditions months later, Walsh began training as an apprentice in ironworking and has strictly

observed his court orders since, Jones said. He is now en route to becoming a journeyman.

“Since his release Mr. Walsh has made a dedicated effort to turning his life around,” Jones said.

But Currie opposed the inter-mittent sentence, arguing it does not send a message to inmates who might consider similar at-tacks. The prosecutor asked for a sentence of 18 to 24 months, with Walsh’s changes earning him something on the lower range.

A pre-sentence report found Walsh expressed remorse for the attack and has made efforts to change his life.

Hyslop reserved judgement on the sentence to a later date.

Mayor Wayne Stetski will be accompanied by Coun. Diana Scott and Kevin Weaver, the city’s economic development officer, as well as seven other representatives from across the Koote-nays.

Coun. Denise Palleson recommended that it be Scott who went.

“She has a good his-tory in Cranbrook, she has a good understand-ing of the economics that keep the city and the area moving. She’s been involved heavily with the Chamber of Commerce over the years, so she under-stands business, she understands tourism.

She’s been a journalist here, so she under-stands a little bit about everything.”

Coun. Bob Whetham noted he was not alto-gether comfortable with council sending anoth-er delegate on top of the mayor and EDO as the provincial funding was already accounted for.

Coun. Sharon Cross agreed with Whetham, saying that the city was hard pressed to come up with money for Can-ada Day celebrations.

Kevin Weaver, the economic development officer, explained that it was important to have a strong representation on the trip.

“You have to remem-

ber that we’re still small players with the com-munities that we’re dealing with in Asia,” Weaver said. “Having a bit more presence em-phasizes that Cran-brook is taking this seri-ously.”

Coun. Gerry Warner said he would support a councillor going as long as it was for the purpose of meeting the expecta-tion of the host commu-nities.

Weaver said the del-egation would be re-garded as a smaller size when compared to most Korean or Chinese delegations.

Coun. Angus Davis said he was in support of Scott going.

Palleson noted the importance of relation-

ship building for those other communities.

“I don’t think we’re used to taking this kind of time to develop a re-lationship before we get down to the business side of things,” she said. “It’s a learning curve for us but I think we should follow their lead.”

The motion to send a

councillor along with the delegation passed.

The mayor asked if any other councillors were interested in going. No one else came forward so Councillor Scott it will be.

The mayors of Kim-berley and Creston are planning to attend as well as a number of

business representa-tives from Teck, CanFor and Galloway, of which Teck has confirmed.

According to city ad-ministration’s report, the focus on the China portion of the trip is natural resource ex-ports, post-secondary training through the College of the Rockies

and bringing more tourism to the Koote-nays.

In Korea, the focus is more on education and tourism, as Wonju is a technological ly-ad-vanced green commu-nity with a focus on al-ternate energy solu-tions.

Every May, B.C. acknowledges Child Care Month. Since 1982 individuals, organizations and municipalities

have celebrated Child Care Month. Child Care Month is a time to recognize the im-portance of child care to families, and to honour the exceptional work of child care providers in communities around the province.

We all want what is best for our chil-dren. Choosing quality child care takes time. It’s important to take the time to find care that fits the needs of your child and supports and encourages their healthy development. Research shows the more stimulating and nurturing the early environment, the more positive connections are formed in the brain, which leads to the child thriving in all aspects of life. Young children need to spend their time in caring, responsive, language-rich environments. They need opportunities to play, explore, and learn how to socialize. Quality child care pro-motes positive social, emotional, cogni-tive, and physical development.

One of the key elements of quality child care is the child care provider, so choosing a provider who has your child’s best interest at heart, is vital. Child care providers should be warm, caring and attentive to children’s needs, culturally sensitive and accepting of differences, and should use positive guidance (that teaches rather than punishes). Child care providers should interact and respond to children and their needs, celebrate the child’s successes, and build and nurture confidence and self-esteem.

The environment is another key ele-ment to quality child care. The care should be in a facility that is safe, clean, comfortable, and organized. There needs to be enough toys, activities, materials and equipment available to interact with and that are developmentally appropri-ate for the children using the items. When children are given opportunity to play they learn: how things work, the nature of materials, rhythm, words and ideas, how to cooperate and socialize, how to solve problems, how to use their imaginations, how to use their bodies and that they are capable individuals. There needs to be a balance within the environment that al-lows for children to rest, to have quiet, to have active play and to have regular out-door play. Time outdoors is a MUST.

There are a number of child care op-tions available and these include licensed or license not required family child care and licensed group child care. Each type of care has different expectations as far as child to staff ratios, maximum number of children in a child care setting at any given time, amount of space required per child and other expectations dependent on the type of care.

B.C. law says that child care providers may care for no more than two children or one sibling group at any one time that are not related to the care provider. The

children being cared for are in addition to the child care provider’s own children, children related by blood or marriage, and any other children who ordinarily reside with the child care provider or the provider exercises the parental role over (step children, foster children, etc). If more children are cared for then a child care license is needed.

If you are a parent, celebrate Child Care Month by asking your child to draw a picture or make a card for their child care provider, pick flowers for them or bake something together as a special “thank you.” Or if you are a provider, cel-ebrate with a party, having children draw pictures of what child care means to them, raising public awareness about the role that quality child care plays in building a healthy and strong communi-ty, or design a new bulletin board to high-light your affiliations, successes, and courses you have taken in order to pro-vide quality child care. Then take time to reflect on the difference you have made in the life of a child!

Cranbrook McDonald’s restaurant would like to thank the community in helping it raise $8,001 for the new Ron-ald McDonald House B.C. in Vancouver.

The funds were raised by the local McDonald’s through its participation in the 20th McHappy Day, a national fundraiser held in more than 1,400 McDonald’s restaurants across Canada.

In Cranbrook, all funds raised were earmarked for Ronald McDonald House BC.

“This year we once again decided to fundraise for the new Ronald McDonald House that is being built in Vancou-ver,” said Cranbrook and Fernie McDonald’s owner/operator David Kaiser. “The House is a home-away-from-home for children requiring medical treatment at BC Chil-dren’s Hospital, and for their families. It provides roughly 400 out-of-town families, many of them from the Koote-nays, with a place to stay every year.

“And yet due to facility lim-itations, each year the House must turn away almost as many families as it accepts. That is why a new Ronald Mc-Donald House is in the works.”

The new Ronald McDon-ald House will be approxi-mately 75,000 square feet, which will make it the second largest House program in Canada, in an effort to meet the growing demand for fami-ly accommodation near BC Children’s Hospital. The esti-mated cost of construction is $26,750,000.

“A new Ronald McDonald House is desperately needed here in B.C., especially for families from our area whose

kids are receiving treatment at the BC Children’s Hospital and they have no place to stay,” said Cranbrook & Fern-ie McDonald’s Community Relations Representative Courtney Magro. “Consider-ing the high cost of construc-tion for the new House, we wanted to donate our McHap-py Day earnings to the Ronald McDonald House BC,”

The Cranbrook McDon-ald’s was joined by members of the Cranbrook Fire Depart-

ment, B104/The Drive radio station and volunteers from the ACT/UCT service club as they rolled up their sleeves to work behind the counter and in the lobby on McHappy Day. Marissa Phillips, a local face painter, also donated her time and delighted kids with her artistry. The Royal Stew-art Highland Dancers held a special performance at the restaurant in honour of McHappy Day, as well.

MONDAY, MAY 13, 2013

Left or right? Up or down? Original reci-pe or extra crispy? Cheech or Chong? Bie-ber or Jepson?

I think you all know what I’m going to say. Think about it. Tomorrow is election day in B.C. What am I going to to say?

That’s right. Get out and vote. Get up tomorrow and march, with a quickness, to your designated polling sta-tion and exercise your dem-ocratic right to have a say in who leads your country, province or municipality — in this case, province.

Please.It’s so important and it’s so dishearten-

ing to see what is happening to voting stats in less than a generation. How can we go so quickly from a nation who turned out in large numbers to a nation who can barely summon the will to care?

I’ve heard all the reasons, which are ac-tually just excuses.

All politicians are the same, it doesn’t matter who wins. That’s a most popular excuse. To which I say, yes it does matter. Are they all the same? In some ways, yes, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. I’ve met pretty well all the candidates in both Co-

lumbia River-Revelstoke and Kootenay East and they do have much in common. All are pretty nice people, who really have a desire to make a difference. They are not inherently evil, rubbing their hands togeth-

er in eager anticipation of burning your tax money in a giant garbage can behind the Legislature in Victoria.

These are people seek-ing a career in public ser-vice and despite a pretty nice pension package, it’s not a fast track to personal

wealth. It is a career which demands count-less hours away from family, countless hours on the road (especially in our rural ridings), countless doors to knock on, meetings — endless meetings — and long legislative sessions.

But it’s important work and we should at least be concerned enough about who will be doing it to cast our ballots for the candi-date whose party best represents what we feel is important.

My vote doesn’t matter. This one really makes me itchy. Yes, it does! It does! We need people to vote. Do you want to live in a society where the leader is decided be-cause he or she is the one who got the ma-jority of votes from the 30 or so per cent of

the population who chose to bother to vote? Do you want to be led by someone who got 36 per cent of the 36 per cent? That’s not a mandate, but it will be taken as one by said leader.

With the way our voting rates are drop-ping in Canada, we are on a fast track to elections that are about as meaningful as those in China. Or Russia. We’re going to wake up one day — after an election day that no one bothered to think about — and find ourselves with a Putin in the Premier’s chair. You know what Putin did in Russia, right? He simply found ways to circumvent their ‘democratic’ process and become leader for life.

I wonder if anyone would notice if the same thing happened in Canada? Or care?

We live in a democracy — at least for now. In a democracy we have the right to free will. We can decided what we want to do for a living, where we want to live, who we can marry, how many children we can have.

And we have the right to decide who leads us.

Let’s get our collective fannies to the polling places tomorrow and do that.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

The kids are alright. The Mount Baker

Wild rugby squad won two games over regional rivals in Rossland and Nelson during a pair of matches on Friday after-noon at Parkland Mid-dle School.

The Wild faced down a team out of Rossland Secondary School for their first match, win-ning by 26-20 on tries from Tallon Creber, Logan Marion and a pair from Sid Verma. Creber also added three con-versions.

Head Coach Sean Sinclair described it as a very physically demand-ing game.

“It was a little higher scoring, but it was a very physical, very hard-hit-ting game,” Sinclair said.

“…It kind of went back and forth a bunch of times and I think we ended up winning on converts.”

The Rossland squad was short a few bodies, so the two teams agreed to field 11 players a side, which opened up the field a bit and created more scoring opportu-nities, added Sinclair.

Their following match was their most anticipated one of the season, as they faced L.V. Rogers Secondary—a team out of Nelson that has been undefeated for the last few years.

After a battle on the pitch, the match ended with a score of 17-14 in favour of the Wild. Tries

came from Branden Metters, Matt Rush-worth and Sid Verma, while Tallon Creber had three conversions.

Sinclair’s squad had faced them before and lost, however, it was a close match even though the Wild had been held scoreless.

Beating them this time was a big team ac-complishment, Sinclair added.

“This time, to actual-ly be able to compete and put in a couple [tries] against them and eventually end up high-er in the scoreboard was

pretty cool,” Sinclair said.

Sinclair said his team’s rucking ability and aggressive backs were instrumental to-wards the win.

“Our backs are start-ing to see holes now, and accelerate through them, so now the Nelson defence is on their back foot and struggling to hold us,” he said.

The two teams will meet in Nelson this Wednesday where the stakes are a lot higher, as they battle for regional representation at pro-vincials.

Canada into quarterfinals at world championshipDONNA SPENCER

Canadian Press

STOCKHOLM, Swe-den - Jeff Skinner wasn’t on the ice much, but made a huge impact in Canada’s 2-1 win over the Czech Republic at the IIHF World Champi-onship on Sunday.

The Carolina Hurri-canes forward scored on an end-to-end rush after weaving through the Czech defence and burying a wraparound behind goalie Ondrej Pavelec at 6:55 of the third period.

His goal stood up as the winner as Canada

(5-0-1) secured a quar-ter-final berth in the tournament.

“Any goal when you play for your country is pretty cool,” Skinner said.

His eight minutes 48 seconds of ice time was the least among Canadi-an forwards Sunday as the 20-year-old from Markham, Ont., wears the Maple Leaf in his third world champion-ship. His eighth career goal was a memorable one.

“When I got over the red (line) I knew I didn’t want to dump it in and

when I was at the hash marks, I saw the goalie a little bit out and chal-lenging the shot,” Skin-ner said. “When he was cutting off my angle, I just tried to take it around the weak side and again, I think it sort of bounced off some-thing.

“I just sort of guessed and guessed right.”

Wayne Simmonds scored his first of the tournament for Canada, while defenceman Dan Hamhuis led all Canadi-an players in ice time and shifts despite join-ing the team the previ-

ous day.Mike Smith made 30

saves for his second win of the tournament and also picked up an assist on Skinner’s goal.

“It was off my left pad and kind of kicked it into the corner,” the Phoenix Coyotes goaltender said. “It was a well-placed rebound, let’s say. It would have been nice to pass it, but I’ll take it.

“Skinny did the rest. The kid can skate pretty well, took it end to end and got a big goal for us.”

Petr Koukal replied for the Czechs (3-3-0),

whose quarter-final prospects depend on beating Norway on Tuesday. The Czechs won the bronze medal the last two years.

Pavelec, who plays for the Winnipeg Jets, stopped 23 shots in tak-ing the loss in front of a crowd of 6,117 at the Globe Arena.

“I’m not very satis-fied we only scored one goal in the game,” Czech head coach Alois Ha-damczik said via an in-terpreter. “This was the first time we really played our game at the tournament.”

Mooseheads crowned QMJHL champions

C ANADIAN PRESSHALIFAX - Stephen

MacAulay scored twice as the Halifax Mooseh-eads beat the Baie-Co-meau Drakkar 5-1 Fri-day night in Game 5 of the Quebec Major Ju-nior Hockey League final to win its first Pres-ident’s Cup.

The Mooseheads, who joined the league 19 years ago, hosted the Memorial Cup in 1999-2000, but this is their first trip to the tourna-ment as QMJHL cham-pion.

Nathan MacKinnon had a goal and an assist for Halifax, while Jona-than Drouin and Stefan Fournier chipped in as well.

Halifax jumped out to an early first-period lead when MacAulay beat Baie-Comeau goal-ie Philippe Cadorette high to the blocker side with a wrist shot.

Fournier and Drouin added goals less than two minutes apart later in the opening period to

give the Mooseheads a commanding 3-0 lead.

Fournier scored his 16th goal of the playoffs - the most in the QM-JHL’s post-season - as he collected a rebound and slipped a back-hander past Cadorette for a power-play goal at 13:19 of the first.

Drouin scored on a rebound after MacKin-non intercepted a pass at the Halifax blue-line and streaked in on net while the Drakkar were making a line change. He deked Cadorette, but his shot hit the post and the rebound went to Drouin who banged the puck into an open net.

B a i e - C o m e a u chipped away at the lead with a second-peri-od goal from Russian winger Valentin Zykov, but couldn’t get any closer.

MacKinnon padded the lead with the nifty deflection with 6:08 left in the game and Ma-cAulay added an emp-ty-netter with 1:19 left.

Winterhawks clinch WHL championship over Oil Kings

C ANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON - The Portland Winterhawks earned some redemp-tion in the Western Hockey League final.

After reaching the final three years in a row, the Winterhawks finally won the Ed Chynoweth Cup with a 5-1 victory over the de-fending champion Ed-monton Oil Kings in Game 6 on Sunday.

Last season the Win-terhawks lost out to the Oil Kings in a 4-3 series decision, and the year previous to the Koote-nay Ice by a 4-1 margin.

“To win a champi-onship, never mind get-ting here two times be-fore and losing, it’s very special,” said Portland head coach Travis Green. “We had a real determined group this year. We had a real ma-ture group this year for such a young team. You learn a lot when you get here twice and lose. I think we did a lot of learning and our group was real even-keeled this year.”

Ty Rattie’s hat trick, which included a pair

of short-handed goals, led Portland, with Oli-ver Bjorkstrand and Taylor Leier adding sin-gles.

“(Rattie’s) a special player and we really needed a big game out of Ty tonight,” added Green. “You get to this point in the season your best players have to be your best players to win.”

Travis Ewanyk had the lone goal for Ed-monton.

“It’s a tough way to go out but we’re very proud of the group of kids in there,” said Ed-monton head coach Derek Laxdal. “The kids were focused today to start the game, we earned some scoring chances. Without the short-handed goals it could be a different game. Portland really shut down our power play in the series... I wouldn’t say it was the difference, but it defi-nitely didn’t help. It’s tough to get back to the finals after winning it. I appreciate what this team did and I’m very proud of them. ”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Tension rises because your vi-sion seems to be in direct con-flict with what is really going on. Deal with a domestic situation head-on, as it is taking you away from other important matters. A serious discussion likely will evolve as a result. Tonight: Stay present in the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Someone keeps distracting you. In the middle of a conversation, you could find your mind drift-ing off to other places. It might take some time, but clear out the distraction as soon as possi-ble. Only then can you be more receptive. Tonight: A partner tries to be easygoing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might be witnessing the aftermath of a very busy period. For some reason, you can’t seem to complete everything that you feel needs to be done. Recog-nize that you are only human. Consider delegating part of your work. Tonight: Put your feet up and relax.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your mind might be drifting off to yonder lands, but realize that you need to be present in the moment. Call on your self-dis-cipline. If this wandering con-tinues, you’ll want to consider taking a trip with a loved one in the near future. Tonight: Lighten up the moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take your time with a decision, especially if it involves family or a loved one. At the present mo-ment, you might not be seeing the situation clearly, or perhaps you just don’t have all the infor-mation you need and want. Ask questions. Tonight: Weigh the pros and cons. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Zero in on what you need to ac-complish. You will want to think through a question more thor-oughly. You might not be able to see someone clearly at this point, and you could be won-dering what to do. Reach out to others for feedback. Tonight: Where your friends are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be taken aback by

someone’s unusual ideas and direction. You might want to proceed in a completely differ-ent manner. Honor a change that forces you to rein in your thoughts. Consider being prac-tical for a week or two. Tonight: Out late with friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You can let go of a difficult situa-tion if you so desire. Only at that point will you be able to detach sufficiently in order to gain a new perspective. You might want to have a long-overdue discussion once you discover a different answer or solution. To-night: Brainstorm with a buddy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Deal with a loved one directly, and know full well that you first must get a personal matter re-solved in your mind. You do not need to agree, but you do need to understand where the other party is coming from. Be a good listener. Tonight: Keep a conver-sation going. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Defer to others. You might want some time to explore a unique idea, and you’ll want to make

some phone calls. A friend could be unusually negative, and, in a sense, you might feel as if this person is trying to rain on your parade. Tonight: Say “yes” to someone’s offer. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could see confusion de-veloping over a money matter. You might be wondering when would be an appropriate time to establish stronger boundaries. A serious discussion with a re-spected friend gives you a good sense about which way to go. Tonight: Remain nurturing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might not be ready to see a situation in its cold, stark real-ity. Make it OK to see only part of what is happening, despite feedback from others. Follow your intuition, and it will guide you. As a result, you will be able to gain some clarity. Tonight: Re-lax with a loved one. BORN TODAY Political satirist Stephen Colbert (1964), singer/songwriter Stevie Wonder (1950), film director Herbert Ross (1927) ***

Dear Annie: I am a single mom of a 4-year-old boy who is being abused by my ex-hus-band and his wife. After a visit, he comes home bruised and scratched with black eyes. He has had scabies more than a dozen times. The worst thing is that my son was just diagnosed with PTSD. I don’t speak negatively about his father. But when it’s time for my son to visit him, he cries and begs to stay home. He says, “Dad-dy hurts me, and I’m scared of him.” My son sees a child therapist, and she is worried for his mental health. My son’s teachers, pedi-atrician and therapist have all called Child Protective Services, but for some reason, they don’t investigate. I was told they don’t consider this abuse. How can people say that? My son has such horrible nightmares after coming home from his Dad’s house that he has bedtime accidents. I have gone to court and used all of my money to retain lawyers, and I have lost every time. I am now broke and on the verge of going on the run to protect him. What can I do? Is there anybody who can help? -- Angela, No State, Please Dear Angela: We do not understand how Child Protective Services could ignore abuse reports from teachers, pediatricians and therapists. Something isn’t adding up. We called the Department of Children and Fam-ily Services in Chicago, and they suggested you contact your state child abuse hotline and report the situation. You also can try the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) (child-help.org). Dear Annie: My husband and I are a blend-ed family with grown stepchildren and grandchildren. His three married kids all have triple-digit incomes and own upscale homes. I have two daughters, neither of whom makes that kind of money. How do we keep things equal when it comes to gift giving? After all, his children will receive more of our assets compared to mine. How do you make this fair when there are 10 recipients on one side and four on the other? (Don’t even get me started on inheritances.) -- Don’t Want My Kids Short-changed Dear Don’t: Are these gifts given jointly, or do you spend on your kids and he spends on his? If the former, each child should get gifts of equal value. If the latter, he gets to decide what he spends, and so do you, equal or not. The fact that his children are better off doesn’t mean they should be punished any more than yours should be rewarded for having less. Please do not let this become an issue of contention with your husband. The partner with the greater income has an obligation to take on a greater share of the financial bur-den within the marriage, but that does not necessarily extend to grown children and grandchildren. The two of you should talk to an estate planner now about what will happen down the road, and be sure you can accept the outcome. Dear Annie: “Retired Teacher” said that school counselors are not helpful when it comes to family or emotional issues. I am here to assure you that “Retired Teacher” is wrong. In my 14 years as a high school counselor, I have wiped many tears, counseled thousands of students, held hun-dreds of family counseling sessions (after school, unpaid) and helped students work through death, suicide, rape and more. My former students often seek me out for advice after graduation and have invited me to their weddings and baby showers. Several stu-dents, and their parents, have commented that I am the ONLY adult they will confide in. -- Green Bay High School Counselor Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

MADRID, Spain — Spanish police snuck up on a British fugitive as he sunbathed, ar-resting him in a dra-matic raid that even saw the suspect leap onto the roof of a near-by outhouse to try to get away.

The arrest of Andrew Terence Moran, 31, on Friday came some four years after he assaulted and escaped from secu-rity guards during an armed robbery trial in the United Kingdom.

Moran was found at a luxury villa in Calpe, a resort on the Alicante coast, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, an Interior Ministry state-ment said Sunday.

Police video footage showed how officers stealthily approached a swimming pool while hiding behind walls be-

fore pouncing on Moran as he relaxed in red swimming trunks.

As soon as police jumped over the walls, Moran tried to flee, leaping onto the tiled roof of a pool-side out-house before being captured.

According to Brit-ain’s Serious Organized Crime Agency, police also seized two hand-guns, 60 rounds of am-munition and a ma-chete.

“Moran thought he could evade capture fleeing to Spain, fre-quently changing his appearance and using false identities,’’ said Matt Burton, SOCA’s head of investigations.

Moran and an asso-ciate, Stephen Devalda, 29, were accused of stealing 25,000 pounds (US$38,400) from a mail van in Colne, northwest England, using a hand-

gun, machete and base-ball bat. A security guard was injured in the May 2005 robbery.

During his escape from custody in 2009, Moran assaulted four security guards and vaulted over the court-room dock. He was

convicted in his ab-sence of conspiracy to commit armed robbery.

Alerted to his pres-ence near the Mediter-ranean coast, Spanish police tracked him down last November. However, Moran man-aged to get away after

using his vehicle to ram two belonging to the po-lice and driving off at high speed on the wrong side of a highway.

A search of the house he had been liv-ing in at the time un-covered a handgun, ammunition, and five

kilos (11 pounds) of cannabis, among other items.

Moran is due to ap-pear in a Madrid court on Monday where a judge will begin extra-dition proceedings.

Devalda was arrest-ed in March 2011 at a

hotel in the southern luxury resort of Marbel-la. He was extradited to Britain where he was sentenced to nine years and eight months in jail for conspiracy to com-mit armed robbery and seven months for jump-ing bail.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Canadian astro-naut Chris Hadfield has handed over command of the International Space Station has he

prepares to return to Earth.

He wrapped up a five-month visit to the giant laboratory, saying it’s time to turn over the reins to Pavel Vinogra-

dov, a Russian cosmo-naut.

Hadfield, the first Ca-nadian to command the station, says he’s achieved the goals he set out for himself be-

fore making the journey in late December and is leaving both ship and crew “in good shape.

He tweeted this morning that it’s “time to rev up the Soyuz’’ for

the trip home.Plans call for Had-

field and two other crewmembers to leave the station Monday just after 7 p.m. E-T aboard a Russian Soyuz space-craft.

They’re due to land in Kazakhstan about three and-a-half hours later.

A helicopter will take them to a local airport, where a waiting NASA plane will fly them to Houston, Texas.

While he’s happy to be heading home, Had-field says both he and his crew “would come back given the opportu-nity.’’

volcano spewed a plume of steam more than a half mile (1 kilometre) into the sky. The volcano shook during Saturday night, sometimes emitting glowing rock over the crater.

The government deployed soldiers and federal police to the area Sunday in the event of a bigger eruption, and officials closed off a seven square mile (18 square kilometre) zone around the cone of the 17,886-foot (5,450-meter) volcano. State authorities pre-pared shelters.

Popocatepetl has put out small eruptions of ash almost daily since a round of activity began in 1994. The eruptions started strengthening two weeks ago and have increased even more this weekend.
