Cardozo, who has made the top 50 in the CTV program MasterChef Canada — and will appear in at least the opening episodes of the program — hosted a screening event for the series’ first episode at the Cranbrook restaurant and brew pub. The kitchen accordingly served up Cardozo’s signature dish, pan-seared miso-glazed rainbow trout, served with ponzu mushrooms and citrus miso broth. Cardozo invited two friends — celebrity foodies from Calgary — to join the event (which, needless to say, was sold out). Chris Shaften was a competitor in the third season of Top Chef Canada. Dan Clapson is a food writer who co-founded eatnorth.ca, writes for the Food Network and appears on Global Television. Here’s cheering for a long TV run for Danielle Cardozo — and bon appetit, everybody!

The B.C. govern-ment has begun a prov-ince-wide tour to col-lect ideas for improving conditions for disabled people, particularly by improving their job prospects.

Social Development Minister Don McRae attended the first ses-sion Monday evening in his home communi-ty of Courtenay, which

drew a capacity crowd of 70 people. He plans to attend other ones in the B.C. Interior and Lower Mainland in the coming weeks.

The tour is sched-uled for Cranbrook on February 18.

The ministry has also established a web-site for public com-ments, and one of the more frequent sugges-tions is for B.C. to in-crease its social assis-

tance payment to dis-abled people. That now stands at $906 per month, including a rent subsidy.

McRae said in an in-terview that major cost items like that will have to wait until B.C.’s economy improves. Meanwhile, efforts to increase employment are showing promise.

B.C. has increased the amount of income that can be earned without reducing dis-ability benefits from $500 to $800 a month. McRae said he wants to expand on a pilot proj-ect that allows people to earn more than that for part of the year, so they can take advan-tage of seasonal work.

McRae, who had “social innovation” added to his title when he was appointed to the ministry last year, said he was encour-aged by a meeting with a Tim Hortons fran-chise owner from On-tario who now employs one out of four people

with disabilities in his stores.

Employees average less than a year in those jobs, but disabled em-ployees stay an average of five years, which saves substantial money on training.

“It benefits the dis-ability community, and it also helps his bottom line,” McRae said.

Input from the com-munity meetings and website comments are to be used for a policy paper that will be pre-sented at a public forum in June.

The website to sub-mit a comment online or register to attend meetings is at engage.gov.bc.ca/disability-whitepaper.

Barry CoulterIt’s a good time to be

a forests minister in B.C.Steve Thomson, Min-

ister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, was in Cran-brook on Monday, Jan. 20, meeting with various industry stakeholders at the Forestry office. Thomson took time out to speak to the Towns-man about a resurgence and positive turnaround in the industry in recent months.

Thomson said he was “very, very optimistic” about the state of B.C.’s forest industry these days, and believes the industry is on a strong road to recovery.

“We’ve brought the industry through one of the most difficult down-turns in the industry, with the collapse of the U.S. housing market,” Thomson said. “And now with the work that we’ve done in terms of diversifying markets in China, Japan, the U.S. market is coming back. We’re seeing a signifi-cant strengthening in prices.

“There’s lots of opti-mism in the industry, lots of capital invest-ment being signalled — even new capital invest-ment. It’s important to recognize that even during the downturn the industry invested signif-icant capital in the in-dustry.

“I think coming in for next year we’ve got sig-nal intentions of over $600 million in invest-ment planned.”

Thomson said that as of the end of October, a new record had been set for sales to China. And the softwood lumber agreement with the United States has also provided a new level of stability. That agree-ment has been extended through 2015.

Thomson said the sector is still facing some particular challenges — among them the “moun-tain pine beetle corri-dor” which is undergo-

Barry CoulterThe most newsworthy work the

forest ministry was engaged in in 2013 in the East Kootenay was the scramble to repair the extensive damage to local backroads after the record flooding in June.

Back in July, 2013, the Townsman reported that more than 50 sites and 30 bridges on the East Kootenay’s backcountry roads needed to be re-paired, with the damage estimated at $5.5 million.

The East Kootenay Forest District, under the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, had to apply to have those costs reim-bursed later under Emergency Man-agement B.C., which provides money for unforeseen events such as the flooding that caused this massive amount of damage.

“I’m really proud of the work our staff did over here in responding to

that situation,” Thomson said. “They prioritized the immediate needs. We know there’s still more work to do, but the feedback I’ve received — from the industry, outdoor recreation groups and everybody that utilizes that backcountry— is that they did a great job of responding to a very very difficult situation.

“My understanding is that there is still a significant program (of repairs) to come in 2014, in terms of the num-ber of key access points — bridges and things like that.

“But the work that they did to not only prioritize, but to respond quick-ly, was the key. They got right at it.

“It’s a testament to the collective effort that everybody put together, and the way they worked together, to make sure we didn’t disrupt fiber flow and those kind of things, keep-ing companies operating and keep-ing access to those key areas.”

Thomson proud of work on flood damaged roads

ing a difficult adjust-ment period as a result of declining timber sale. Thomson said review work is underway, and an additional inventory program has been an-nounced as some of the measures intended to help these affected areas.

Late 2013 also saw numerous new deals be-tween industry labour — the United Steelwork-ers — and employers like member companies of the Interior Forest La-bour Relations Board (IFLRA) and its northern counterpart, the Council on Northern Interior Forest Employment Re-lations (CONIFER). The

measure of labour peace is an added plus, Thom-son said.

“What we want to focus on is moving for-ward without that being one of the pieces you have to worry about,” he said. “The biggest chal-lenge we’re hearing from the industry is the

ongoing shortage of skilled labour. We have to work with everybody in the industry — the Province, the compa-nies, the unions, the contractor associations in making sure we have a coordinated plan to make sure we can fill those jobs.

“We know over the next number of years there’s going to be 25,000 new jobs in the industry. Those will come from the overall recovery in the industry, but also the demographics of an aging workforce. That’s really one of the most important areas we’re going to have to work with.”

Students in Cranbrook schools are busy putting pen to paper this week for the Creative Writing Project.

The challenge marks Family Liter-acy Day, Jan. 27, and invites students in all grades to submit a creative writ-ing piece.

“It’s any subject and it can be any type of creative writing. It could be a cartoon, it could be a graphic story, it could be poetry, it could be a story, an essay on any subject,” said Kather-ine Hough, community literacy coor-dinator for Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL).

Students in every Cranbrook school are invited to submit a cre-ative writing piece before the end of this week.

“We decided to do something that would challenge kids to think about literacy,” said Hough.

Each school will then submit one piece for each grade to the Creative Writing Project.

“It may be that this is the best, however one decides what that is, or it may mean that this is a child who has struggled with literacy issues and has done a great job,” said Hough.

Students who are nominated by their school will be recognized at a family event on Jan. 27, and their work will be published in the Cran-brook Daily Townsman/Kimberley Daily Bulletin over coming months.

The Jan. 27 event will be held at the Manual Training Centre at the Cranbrook Public Library, running from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Students in the Creative Writing Project will go in the draw to win book prizes, tickets to Symphony of the Kootenays’ Fiddle Fire family concert on Feb. 2, and a grand prize of an e-reader.

The project is a partnership be-tween CBAL, the Townsman, and School District 5.

On Jan. 27, not just the nominated students but all families are invited to the event at the Manual Training Centre to take part in “15 Minutes For Literacy.”

“We will have all sorts of activities for families to engage in — we’ve got games, we’ve got mazes to run in, we’ve got a little writing booth — we’ve got all sorts of things,” said Hough.

“If they have submitted some-thing and they weren’t nominated by their school, well, come on down anyhow. If you didn’t take part in the Creative Writing Project, doesn’t matter. We’ve got all sorts of activities for the family and we really encour-age families to come down and take part.”

The event will also announce the first person named Cranbrook’s liter-ary champion.

“It’s something that we thought would be really appropriate for fami-ly literacy day, because it is honour-ing somebody who has promoted literacy in our community. And it’s the very first time we are awarding it,” said Hough.

Students who are interested in submitting a creative writing piece can talk to their teacher.

A 44-year-old man has been charged with cocaine trafficking after police nabbed him with drugs during a targeted road check on Wednesday, Jan. 15.

The man was among three arrested after the vehicle they were in was found to contain crystal meth, heroin, cocaine, and drug paraphernalia.

He was remanded in custody during a Jan. 16 bail hearing before a Ju-dicial Justice of the Peace and was scheduled to appear again Monday, Jan. 20.

Police have released the man’s companions, a 23-year-old female and a 26-year-old male – but police

are recommending charges for pos-session of crystal meth.

The arrests were made after police received a tip to be on the lookout for people involved in drug trafficking at

that time. A roadblock was set up on the strip and for five hours police waited for the suspect ve-hicle to approach.

“The RCMP members in both Kimberley and Cranbrook actively seek information about those involved in drug traffick-ing and act on it once they gain sufficient evi-dence,” said Cpl. Chris Newel. “These arrests are

a testament to the lengths officers will go to in order to apprehend and charge those involved in the drug trade.”

NelsoN starCreston council is

questioning whether the town should start taking part in daylight savings time.

Creston, part of the Mountain Time Zone, has never made the sea-sonal adjustment to its clocks. Time in Creston is therefore the same as Cranbook in the winter, and Nelson in the sum-mer.

The town council be-lieves it’s time to ask voters if they want to change that. A non-binding referen-dum question will be added to Creston bal-lots in November’s mu-nicipal election.

However, Regional District of Central Koo-tenay directors repre-senting the surrounding areas aren’t so sure that’s a good idea.

Area A director Garry Jackman, an opponent of daylight time, said there is no economic benefit to changing time to make daylight extend longer into the evening, and that the Town of Creston hasn’t demonstrated why there should be a vote.

Arguing that the town “hasn’t done its homework,” Jackman said that there is no evi-dence that Creston resi-dents want DST, while a poll of Area B voters

showed a 77 per cent opposition to the scheme among the 400 residents who respond-ed.

Area C director Larry Binks was concerned a time zone change in Creston could impact other communities in the area that reject day-light time, including the Creston Valley and East Shore.

“Are you going to tell the provincial govern-ment that if the vote [in Creston] is 50.1 per cent in favour of DST that the whole area should have it forced upon it?” Binks asked.

Time zone issues are in provincial jurisdic-

tion. The results of the Creston referendum will be forwarded to the BC government to de-termine if any response is warranted.

In 1972, a provincial referendum asked vot-ers in the southeast and northeast corners of the province to state their preference about day-light time. The east part of the Nelson-Creston provincial riding voted no by a 50.61 to 49.39 per cent margin. Cres-ton Valley and East Shore rejected daylight time by much wider margins.

Following an inves-tigation and a one week suspension, the permit for Elkford’s deer cull has been rein-stated. While a date has not yet been set, the District of Elkford is free to resume culling deer anytime up until March 10.

“[The District] has received a warning and will now be under a much more watchful eye around observing the permit conditions,” said John Krebs, re-gional manager, Recre-ational Fisheries and Wildlife Programs, Kootenay Boundary Region of Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Op-erations. “We did rein-state the permit on Thursday afternoon (January 16) last week and Elkford is now re-mobilizing things to get their people and their equipment orga-nized to reinitiate the operational part of the cull.”

The District of Elk-ford initially began the cull at the start of Janu-ary to decrease the population of 78-148 mule deer currently living within town lim-its. A license was is-sued by the B.C. Minis-

try of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources and Operations, allow-ing the District to kill up to 50 mule deer with the use of a clover trap and bolt gun. The 14 page permit issued outlined several guide-lines and regulations, including that deer only be harvested during the night.

“We suspended the permit on January 7 due to some com-plaints and concerns that we had with trap-ping outside of permit conditions, specifically trapping during day-light hours, which is not consistent with the permit,” explained Krebs. “We did an in-vestigation with the Conservation Officer Service once we sus-pended the permit with the parties and followed up with that in Elkford.”

He went on to say, “We sat down with the District and the con-tractor and the Conser-vation Officers over the whole situation and what the complaints and concerns were. We’ve made it very clear that we expect that the operation meets the terms of the permit.”

With the permit re-instated, the District is

cautiously moving for-ward with the deer cull.

“We are going to work on a game plan,” commented Curtis Helgesen, chief admin-istrative officer, District of Elkford. “There has been a few things that have changed since we first started harvesting, so we’re working on having that game plan approved by the prov-ince and Interior Health, and then com-pleting the cull by no later than March 10.”

Feedback from the community has been mixed and the District has been dealing with concerns from outside and environmental groups as well. This is despite the fact that 70 per cent of the 433 Elk-ford residents who completed a survey about the urban deer issue in 2010 wanted to see a moderate de-crease in the herd by 30 to 40 per cent.

“There are some people hopefully that have contacted us that are strongly against it and there are some people who have come forward that want to provide those words of encouragement to council that they sup-port the decision,”said Helgesen. “Locally in Elkford, there are some

people that are really impacted by it and there are some people that are still for it, but we just have to keep moving forward.”

Krebs is hopeful that the District will be able to continue on with the cull without any further issues.

“We had to reexam-ine what their proce-dures were, but it was just about making sure we had confidence that the District and the contractor could follow the terms of the per-mit,” he said. “We’ve had that assurance and we’ll have some staff oversee things as well. So we’ll be watching, but I think they’ve got what they need to do the job properly. Hope-fully this is just a bump in the road, they’re back on track, and we’ll get that work complet-ed in the next few weeks.

The District report-ed that ten deer were harvested before the cull was initially sus-pended on January 6 and 7. All were mule deer, two males and the rest female, with a roughly 50/50 mix of adults and juveniles. The meat will be pro-cessed into ground meat and provided to local food banks.

The District of In-vermere is hoping to lobby the provincial government to help it pay costs associated with the legal chal-lenge from the Inver-mere Deer Protection Society. Invermere forwarded the letter to Cranbrook city coun-cil, with its primary recipients being Pre-mier Christy Clark and Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

On Monday, Janu-ary 20, council dis-cussed the matter.

In the letter, Inver-mere Mayor Gerry Taft notes that the dis-trict spent $40,000 on legal fees defending the provincial process.The suit was to decide whether the public process designed by the province, and fol-lowed by Invermere, as well as Cranbrook and other communi-ties was appropriate.

Taft wrote: “As we have essentially been defending a process recommended by the province and because our case has had sig-nificant interest for and direct impacts on many other commu-nities and jurisdic-tions facing similar wildlife management

issues in British Co-lumbia, we respect-fully request your consideration in re-imbursing the District of lnvermere for a portion of our legal fees in responding to this lawsuit.”

He was asking for a cost sharing of $20,000 between the province and the municipality.

In addition, Inver-mere was also asking for the province to consider cost sharing future implementa-tions of deer manage-ment options with local governments.

Taft’s letter also noted the municipali-ties disappointment in hearing about pos-sible changes to pro-vincial legislation dealing with urban wildlife not from the province, but from LifeForce, a lobby group.

“It is alarming that they may have more influence in or con-nection to changes to legislation then the local governments who are directly im-pacted by urban deer,” Taft wrote.

The information was first sent to the Union of B.C. Munici-palities the day be-fore. Coun. Angus Davis said that this was an issue that the UBCM should be

working for the mu-nicipalities, not the province.

“We’re paying to belong to that so that they can be the inter-mediary with the pro-vincial government,” Angus said, adding that the province should have delivered the information to the municipalities in-volved.

Coun. Gerry War-ner agreed with Davis, and also with Taft that it’s a two-way street.

“The only way that these urban deer are going to be dealt with is through a partner-ship between the mu-nicipalities and the province,” he said.

Warner noted that members of council will be meeting with MLA Bill Bennett to talk about the issue.

Taft also worried about the perception of deer hazing, the practice of using trained dogs to move deer out of town, as being a ‘magic cure.’ He said it is expensive compared to tradi-tional trap and culls, and sometimes not feasible depending on location.

For instance, Taft noted that if the mu-nicipality is not adja-cent to crown land, there is no place to lead the deer.

COTR Financial Assistance and Awards Advisor, Lois Murray, looks to give away thousands of dollars in schol-arships and awards.

SubmittedWhile smoking rates have

steadily declined over the last decades, tobacco still kills more people every year than all illegal drugs, suicides, homi-cides and car accidents com-bined.

January 19-25 is National Non-Smoking Week and Interi-or Health wants to remind ev-eryone of the importance of local action to address the leading cause of preventable death and disease in Canada.

One of the most effective ways communities can reduce the harm of cigarettes is to limit their use in public areas. Creat-ing smoke-free environments is a great way to improve the health of your community. Smoke-free outdoor spaces are very effective in helping chil-dren and youth grow up to be non-smokers.

Smoke-free bylaws are not

intended to punish those who are dependent on tobacco, but instead to assist smokers to quit and protect people from exposure to second-hand smoke.

“There is no safe level of ex-posure to tobacco smoke,” said Trish Hill, Tobacco Reduction Coordinator at Interior Health. “By creating smoke-free out-door spaces, communities make smoking seem less nor-mal, which contributes to low-ering smoking rates. This is particularly important for the well-being of children and ad-olescents because of the mes-sage it conveys, namely that inhaling smoke into your lungs is not normal.”

Communities with smoke-free parks, playgrounds, beach-es and trails tend to have lower smoking rates. In Woodstock, Ontario, 38 per cent of people said the outdoor smoke-free

bylaw helped them quit, and 40 per cent said it helped them to stay a non-smoker. The bylaw did not negatively impact use of facilities, businesses, or at-tendance at community events.

Smoke-free parks, beaches and playgrounds also lower the risk of toxic litter, which may be ingested by children or pets; and reduces wildfire in forest-ed areas. In the 2012 B.C. shoreline clean-up, tobacco re-lated litter outnumbered any other by three times.

“Public support for smoke-free outdoor areas is on the rise,” added Hill. “It’s not sur-prising since more than 85 per cent of British Columbians don’t use tobacco. In fact, more than 30 communities in B.C., from Vancouver to Kelowna to Sicamous, have enacted re-strictions on smoking in parks and on beaches, joining hun-dreds more across North

America.” The Tobacco Reduction

Team partners with local gov-ernments, agencies, Aboriginal communities and individuals to promote healthy, smoke-free environments. This is done through presentations to coun-cils, advising and commenting on bylaw language, providing ‘lessons learned’ from other communities and encouraging local governments to include smoke-free space in their vi-sioning and planning.

To find out about the smoke-free bylaws in your area, check your community’s website. If you would like to know more about smoke-free living or want help strengthen-ing your local smoke-free by-laws, the Interior Health To-bacco Reduction Team is eager to help and can be reached through www.interiorhealth.ca/AboutUs/ContactUs.

Neil Young’s anti-oilsands concert tour was the perfect distillation of the American enviro-assault on its dependent northern neighbour that’s been going on for a de-cade or more.

After touring Fort McMurray in his elec-tric car with actor-turned-protester Daryl Hannah, the 68-year-old Young covered all the big propaganda hits and added his own fantasy facts.

It looks like a war zone up there! Hiroshima! If it keeps going it will be like the Moon! There’s no reclamation! Tar sands oil is all going to China, and that’s why their air is so bad!

All of those statements are false. And then Young dropped his own nu-

clear bomb, claiming cancer rates in Fort Chipewyan are 30 per cent higher than, well, somewhere else. Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation has cited a discredited study by former com-munity doctor John O’Connor to press the same claim.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta reviewed O’Connor’s claims in 2009. It concluded that “Dr. O’Connor made a number of inaccurate or untruth-ful claims” about cancer patients, and then refused to provide patient information after his claims made international news.

Retired professor David Schindler toured with Young and continued to push

the health scare, referring darkly to newer research showing increased mercury and PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) contamination.

When you peel back the propaganda and journalistic hype, these studies mainly reveal that such toxins are on the rise, but

are found in much higher concentrations around large cities where fuel is con-sumed. The cancer claims were then debunked by a Royal Society of Canada ex-pert panel in 2010.

This cancer scare is the most damaging and dishon-est part of the selective at-

tack on Alberta. The oil industry, politi-cians and most of the media seem unwill-ing to examine it critically.

Climate scientist-turned-politician An-drew Weaver was at Young’s Toronto news conference. He says there were no ques-tions for him, Adam or Young’s other vali-dator, David Suzuki, who previously worked with Schindler on a slanted oil-sands documentary for the CBC.

Weaver calculates that Young’s claim about greenhouse gas emissions is sub-stantially correct, if you include emissions from the finished fuels. Weaver refused any comment on the cancer claims.

Young included the obligatory sneering comparison between Stephen Harper and George W. Bush, which is another sign he’s lived in California too long. He seemed

unaware that the NDP’s Thomas Mulcair and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau support continued oilsands development.

As for moonscapes, Young could have driven his famous electric Lincoln from his Redwood City mansion on a hill to nearby Bakersfield, to view the greasy expanses of closely packed pumpjacks reaching to the horizon, still expanding due to hydraulic fracturing.

Young could have visited North Dakota, where the second shale oil train explosion luckily didn’t kill anyone. It seems there will be no remake of Young’s classic Kent State lament dedicated to 47 Dead in Old Quebec. That’s American oil, so no pro-tests.

Chief Adam was frank in an interview on CTV about using the “Honour the Trea-ties” tour to strengthen his legal position. Young’s concert tour put $75,000 in his fund to pay lawyers. Oil isn’t the only thing being extracted here.

By the end of the tour Sunday, Young and Adam conceded they weren’t trying to shut the Athabasca oilsands down, just start a dialogue.

Thanks to uncritical media coverage, there will no doubt be discussions at din-ner tables and in classrooms all over the world about the terrible Alberta tar sands and the cancer they don’t actually cause.

The Cranbrook Tri-tons Swim Club re-turned from a meet in Kelowna this past weekend with some im-pressive results, includ-ing qualifying six swim-mers for provincial championships.

The club had nine swimmers at the Kelow-na Aquajets Snowfest swim meet, with 95 per cent of the swims being best times for the ath-letes, with the top eight places collecting points for the club.

Tyler Carter, Made-line Hill, Sydney Kenke, Rhys Marlatt, Chloe Mayes, Sydney McDon-ald, Matthew Meuleman, Jayden White and Cam Wilson all participated in vari-ous events under the leadership of coach Dave Chisholm.

While McDonald didn’t finish in the top-eight of her swims, she was the most improved swimmer on the team, shaving a total of 43 seconds off her swim times.

Hill, Kenke, Mayes, White and Wilson qual-ified for AA provincials in Chilliwack, while Marlatt is headed to AAA provincials in Ka-mloops.

Marlatt had a stellar meet, with eight first-place finishes, while breaking meet records in the 50m Fly, 50m Freestyle and 100m Freestyle.

Before the meet, White had already qual-ified for the AA provin-cial championship, however, due to her ex-ample and leadership, Hll, Kenke, Mays and Wilson have also quali-fied for provincials.

Canucks coach Tortorella suspended for 15 daysMONTE STE WART

Canadian Press

NEW YORK - The NHL suspended Van-couver Canucks coach John Tortorella without pay for 15 days and six games on Monday for his conduct after a brawl between his team and the Calgary Flames.

Tortorella went to Calgary’s locker room at intermission follow-ing the first period Sat-urday night, which began with a handful of fights and four game misconducts per team.

“Mr. Tortorella’s ac-tions in attempting to enter the Calgary Flames locker room after the first period were both dangerous and an embarrassment to the league,” NHL se-nior executive vice president of hockey op-erations Colin Camp-bell said in announcing the suspension. “Coaches in the NHL bear the responsibility of providing leadership, even when emotions run high, and Mr. Tor-torella failed in his re-sponsibility to the game.”

Tortorella blamed Flames coach Bob Hartley for starting his fourth line, saying he couldn’t put star play-ers Daniel and Henrik Sedin at risk just to de-flate the situation. Hart-ley was fined US$25,000 by the NHL.

“We are holding Mr. Hartley responsible for

the actions of Flames’ right wing Kevin West-garth, who took the game’s opening face-off and attempted to insti-gate a premeditated fight with an unwilling opponent - the Ca-nucks’ Kevin Bieksa,” Campbell said.

This is the second career suspension for

Tortorella, who missed Game 6 of the 2009 Eastern Conference quarter-finals as coach of the New York Rang-ers for throwing a water bottle into the stands in Washington.

Tortorella’s suspen-sion begins Tuesday night with Vancouver’s game at the Edmonton

Oilers and runs through Feb. 2. He is not allowed to have any interaction with the Canucks be-fore, during or after games during that time.

“We respect the de-cision made by the Na-tional Hockey League today to suspend John Tortorella for 15 days from Sunday, with no

contact with the team for six games,” said Ca-nucks president and general manager Mike Gillis in a statement. “We would also like to acknowledge our orga-nization’s full support for John and we look forward to having him back behind the bench soon.”

Canadian tennis star Eugene Bouchard has reached the semi� nals of the Australian Open.

C ANADIAN PRESSMELBOURNE, Aus-

tralia - Eugenie Bouch-ard is the first Canadian to reach a Grand Slam semifinal in 30 years after a stunning upset of Ana Ivanovic at the Australian Open.

Bouchard, the 30th seed, overcame Ivanovic 5-7, 7-5, 6-2 on Monday, making the Montreal na-tive just the second Ca-nadian to ever compete in a Grand Slam singles semi.

The last Canadian to go to the semis at a major was Toronto’s Carling Bassett at the 1984 U.S. Open.

Bouchard’s final-four spot is the first for a Ca-nadian in Melbourne.

The 19-year-old did it in just under two and a half hours.

“We had a tough match, she was playing well at times,” said Bouchard. “When she did there was not much I could do. I kept fighting, played aggressive and stepped it up in the sec-ond and third sets.

“The most important thing is to enjoy it out there and that’s what I’ve been doing. I tried to stay calm and go for my short, that’s when I play my best.”

Bouchard will play next against China’s Li Na, the fourth seed, after the former French Open champion defeated Fla-via Pennetta 6-2, 6-2.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will feel great, and a part-ner might appear to be in the same mood -- at least until a hot issue is broached. Then, you could find out otherwise. Your ability to draw out others emerges. You know the right move to make. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your efforts make a difference, yet an associate could have a negative attitude. Fortunately, this person does not rule the world. A friend might share his or her thoughts. Listen carefully, as he or she will be coming from an intuitive level. Tonight: Get some exercise. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will find a situation provoc-ative. You might feel as if a boss is making assumptions that may not be grounded. Know that you don’t have to respond to this person’s projections. Be willing to blaze a new trail, and you’ll feel better about your choices. Tonight: Up late.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Opt to be with a close friend or associate. Get to the bottom of a problem that might be bother-ing you. You will know whether the information you are given is correct. How you feel could change dramatically. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s suggestion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll want to have a friendly chat with a difficult roommate, close friend or loved one. You could find that this person tends to disengage when you start to talk. As a result, you might wonder whether this discussion should be postponed. Tonight: Hang out with a friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will jump into a situation without hesitation. Sometimes it is best to allow others to find out what works; they need to go through a similar process to what you did. A partner could be very distracted, which will make it difficult to communi-cate. Tonight: Relax. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You are energized. A child or

loved one adores you wild, creative imagination. This person would be delighted to see this facet of your person-ality emerge. Keep it light. Be aware of the costs of pursuing what appears to be a fun plan. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could feel tense, as others seem to demand that rules be loosened up some. You might feel somewhat vulnerable and choose to withdraw within. You can’t control others, nor should you try. A psychic thought will come your way. Tonight: Early to bed. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will be focused on a key matter revolving around a friend or a significant meeting. How you handle it and the end results could color your think-ing about the whole situation. Emphasize what you want, and speak your mind. Tonight: Where the gang is. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to get to know someone in power better. You

both have very different ap-proaches that are effective. A family matter or a domestic issue could trigger unexpected happenings. Go with the flow. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might feel more in harmo-ny with someone at distance than you do with many other people. You can’t deny what exists between you. You are in-tuitive with this person, as is he or she with you. An unexpected call makes you smile. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You succeed best when you work closely with someone else. You know what is workable and what needs to happen. Though you tend to come up with ideas from out of left field, this person sees value in them. Tonight: Visit with a favorite person over dinner. BORN TODAY Military commander Stonewall Jackson (1824), fashion design-er Christian Dior (1905), golfer Jack Nicklaus (1940)

Dear Annie: I am in a loveless marriage. My husband and I barely speak to each other. I mostly stay in my room because it’s easier than dealing with my life when I’m not by myself. Do people really hold hands and kiss goodnight? This has never happened to me. I have panic attacks, and this is a problem. But I know I am capable of love if given the chance. Unfortunately, there are no more chances for me, because my husband just doesn’t care. What can I do? -- Lonely Lady Dear Lonely: Your marriage sounds terri-ble. Are there children? Are you financially dependent on your husband? Are you un-willing to consider divorce? Why did you marry this man? Yes, couples hold hands and kiss goodnight and care deeply for each other. Please get some counseling, with or without your husband, and see what you can do to make your life better. Dear Annie: You have printed many letters from older people who are upset because they are estranged from their grandchildren or because they are not allowed to visit as of-ten as they would like. Here are a few ques-tions these folks might consider: 1. Do you treat your adult children like adults? Or do you mar visits with unsolicited advice and criticism disguised as concern? Typical topics that should be off-limits in-clude child discipline and housekeeping. 2. Do you constantly make jokes at your children’s expense or revisit sensitive issues from their youth and then, when they object, claim they have no sense of humor? 3. Do you expect to be treated like royalty while visiting, rather than pitching in like family members should? This is especially frustrating when babies and young children are involved and parents could use an extra hand. Bring a dish to share or help prepare dinner and clean up after. Change the kid’s dirty diaper. Get your duff off of the sofa. 4. Do you consistently undermine your children’s authority in front of their own children? 5. Do you find yourself complaining to peers about your children’s reluctance to invite you over or to take your advice about parenting? If so, trust me, it means the time before, during and after your visits is stress-ful to your child and his or her partner. And the grandchildren will eventually pick up on this. You are grandparents. That doesn’t make you infallible. Take responsibility for your end of things. -- Rolled Up the Wel-come Mat Dear Rolled: You make some good points, although we remember a time when grand-parents received more respect, when a parent’s advice was cherished and no one would dream of asking Grandma to clean up the house. But on the other extreme, we’ve heard from children whose parents were physically and emotionally abusive and still expect to have full access to the grandchil-dren. The healthiest relationships lie some-where in between. Dear Annie: “Vermont Reader” was up-set that people use the handicapped stalls to change their child’s diaper. Some stalls serve double duty, as there is no other ac-commodation for diaper changing and the handicapped stalls are the only areas large enough. Bathroom visits tend to be short, regardless of the reason. A person needing to wait for another to finish is not handicapped-spe-cific. It happens to everyone. Sometimes we need to show a bit of latitude. -- Seen It Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

BERLIN — Waking up after al-most three years of hibernation, a comet-chasing spacecraft sent its first signal back to Earth on Mon-day, prompting cheers from scien-tists who hope to use it to land the first space lander onto a comet.

The European Space Agency re-ceived the all-clear message from its Rosetta spacecraft at 11:18 a.m. MST — a message that had to travel some 800 million kilometres.

In keeping with the agency’s ef-fort to turn the tense wait for a signal into a social media event, the probe triggered a series of “Hello World!’’ tweets in different languages.

Dormant systems on the un-manned spacecraft were switched back on in preparation for the final stage of its decade-long mission to rendezvous with the comet named 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Systems had been powered down

in 2011 to conserve energy, leaving scientists in the dark about the probe’s fate until now.

Because of the time it took Ro-setta to wake up, and the long dis-tance between the spacecraft and Earth, the earliest possible hour for a signal to arrive was 6:30 p.m.

Scientists will now take control of Rosetta again, a procedure slowed by the 45 minutes it takes a signal to travel to or from the space-craft, he said.

The wake-up call is one of the final milestones for Rosetta before it makes its rendezvous with comet 67P in the summer. The probe will then fly a series of complicated ma-noeuvrs to observe the comet — a lump of rock and ice about four ki-lometres in diameter — before dropping a lander called Philae onto its icy surface in November. The lander will dig up samples and analyze them with its instruments.

Although the spacecraft was

launched almost a decade ago, the instruments aboard Rosetta and the Philae lander are still consid-ered cutting edge, said Joel Parker of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado. The institute developed a specialized camera called ALICE that can detect differ-ent chemicals in the comet.

Rosetta is named after a block of stone that allowed archeologists to decipher ancient Egyptian hiero-glyphs. Scientists hope the mission will help them understand the composition of comets and thereby discover more about the origins and evolution of our solar system.

Comets are regarded as flying time capsules because they are es-sentially unchanged for the last 4.6 billion years. Scientists have specu-lated that comets may be responsi-ble for the water found on some planets. And like asteroids, comets also pose a theoretical threat to life on Earth.

VANCOUVER — New research is shaking up the entire notion of what could happen to the Vancouver area during an earthquake, indicating bridges and tall buildings would rat-tle and sway a whole lot more than previously thought.

Two studies pub-lished Monday in the Bulletin of the Seismo-logical Society of Ameri-ca show that seismic waves are amplified as they pass through the Georgia Basin, the de-posit of softer sedimen-tary rock that lies partly beneath Vancouver.

If a quake occurred within 100 kilometres of the city, such amplifica-tion could make the ground quake three to four times more than it would if the basin were not there.

The authors say peo-ple driving in vehicles would notice the shak-ing and suggest it could damage even well-con-structed buildings.

“The shaking in (Metro) Vancouver would be greater be-cause of the presence of the Georgia Basin, espe-cially when the earth-quake occurred to the south or southwest,’’ says lead author Sheri Molnar, who’s in the University of British Co-lumbia Civil Engineer-ing department.

She says the waves would spread outward

CANADIAN PRESS/JONAThAN hAywARD

A new study has found that earthquakes could feel stronger in Vancouver due to the shape of the Georgia Basin.

“Jell-O and cheese” effect could really shake up Vancouver during earthquake

from the earthquake and would have to cross the deep southeast por-tion of the basin before hitting Vancouver. That would tend to cause the greatest increase in mo-tion.

The Georgia Basin is shaped like an elongat-ed bowl and lies be-neath the Georgia Strait, between the Lower Mainland and Vancou-ver Island. It is one in a series of basins along the Pacific coast of North America.

She compares the Georgia Basin to gelatin surrounded by a hard block of cheese.

“We’re bringing the earthquake up through the cheese, and then it’s suddenly hitting the Jell-O mould and start-ing to slosh around and bounce around within that Jell-O.’’

British Columbia sits on what’s known as the Cascadia subduction zone, where earth-quakes tend to occur ei-ther within the Juan de Fuca plate or the over-riding North America plate. Big subduction earthquakes, like the one that struck Japan in 2011, also occur in the Juan de Fuca plate.

Molnar’s studies ex-amined the potential impact of deep earth-qukes, with a magnitude of 6.8, that occur 40 to 50 kilometres beneath the surface, as well as shal-low earthquakes of the same magnitude.

Molnar and her col-leagues used computers to look at the impact on tall buildings or long structures. Using three-dimensional sim-ulations of different sce-narios, the team found

FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. — RCMP say the death of a man found in a dumping area at the Suncor oil-sands site in northern Alberta is not suspicious.

Officers found the 40-year-old man from Fort McMurray after re-sponding to a call about a missing person.

Police say he was buried in sand as the result of a workplace acci-dent.

Suncor spokeswoman Sneh See-tal says a search began Sunday morning when the man didn’t show up for a meeting and wasn’t answer-ing his radio.

She says he was found in a sand dump at the mine site’s extraction area.

Occupational health and safety officials are involved in the police investigation.

The man’s name is not being re-leased.

Ice, floods and thunderstorms made 2013 the worst year ever for severe weather insurance losses in Canada.

The Insurance Bureau of Canada says the December ice storms in southern Ontario and Atlantic Cana-da caused more than $200 million in insured losses, pushing total se-vere-weather payouts to policyhold-ers last year to $3.2 billion.

“In 2013, the terrible effects of the new weather extremes hit Canadi-ans hard,’’ CEO Don Forgeron said Monday in a release.

“From the Alberta floods last summer to the ice storms in Ontario and Atlantic Canada over the holi-days, frankly, bad weather hit insur-ers hard, too.’’

The insurance bureau said the largest disaster was flooding that soaked southern Alberta after tor-rential rains in June. That caused more than $1.74 billion in insured damage.

Record rains and flash floods in Toronto the following month caused

an estimated $940 million in dam-age payouts.

Severe thunderstorms in parts of Ontario and Quebec in June and July resulted in about $250 million in in-surance payouts.

Some insurance companies are raising rates because of the increase in weather-related claims.

It will take time for the full finan-cial sting of the disasters to ripple through the industry and to policy-holders. Deadlines to file claims vary by province.

In Alberta, policyholders have up to two years to file a business or home insurance claim.

Many of the claims for damage caused by the June rains and floods in the province have been filed by businesses, which will take time to process, said Heather Mack, an in-surance bureau spokeswoman in Edmonton.

The record payout in 2013 follows four previous years in which se-vere-weather insurance losses hit or exceeded $1 billion. In 2006, insured damage from extreme weather was less than $200 million.

that both deep and shal-low earthquakes led to greater shaking if the seismic energy moved through the Georgia Basin.

Up until now, con-struction of buildings was based on the knowl-edge that softer ground would create stronger tremors during an earthquake.

But Natural Resourc-es Canada researcher John Cassidy says soft materials beneath the surface — such as a basin — could also con-trol the amount of rip-pling felt above.

“Essentially what the basin is doing is produc-ing stronger shaking and producing lon-ger-duration shaking,’’ said Cassidy, who su-pervised Molnar’s study.

Cassidy says the model showed that the area beneath the Geor-gia Strait shook the most.

When earthquake waves hit the southeast part of the Georgia Basin before reaching Metro Vancouver, southwestern areas such as Delta, Ladner and Richmond experi-enced tremors three or four times what they would be if the Georgia Basin were not there.

However, if the waves hit the northwestern or northeastern part of the basin, they took a differ-ent path and either did not affect the Vancouver area or did not cause a significant increase in motion.
