Doubles that are takeout are usually doubles at
the one or two-level, higher if opponents pre-empt, while the fol-lowing doubles are for penalty;
1. those made by doubling over and not doubling under;
2. a double made by your partner when you have already told him your hand (1NT or a pre-empt does this);
3. a double after one’s partner has already answered (by
a bid not a pass) a take-out double;
4. a double made when the partnership knows they have the balance of power;
5. a double made after the partnership has agreed on a suit;
6. any takeout double may be passed not for lack of a bet-ter bid but for penalty (conversion).
7. any double made after a takeout double has been converted to penalty (passed);
8. any double after the partnership makes
a redouble.This week is an
example of 4 and 5.The bidding: This
is a perfect example of when one can open one notrump with a five card major. South has 15 HCP’s, five hearts, three in the other major, all suits stopped and no suitable rebid. However, South elect-ed to open one heart. West has an easy one spade overcall which would not have been the case had South opened one notrump. North, with six points, raises partner to two. East supports partner. South, knowing that they don’t have game but recognizing that three hearts down two
is better than minus 110 or minus 140, bids three. West believes they have the balance of power, especially with the way the hearts are positioned.
The con-tract: Three hearts doubled by South
The opening lead: The queen of spades
West cannot lead a trump or a club with-out costing a trick. A diamond lead may set up diamonds for the declarer. The spade lead is the best.
The play: East wins the opening lead and shifts to the jack of clubs. South ducks and loses three club tricks. West exits a spade after his last club. South loses a spade, two hearts, no diamonds and three clubs
The result: Three hearts doubled down two for -300.
Note:This is an example of a match-point swindle. If East and West play spades
they get 110 or 140, while if they allow North South to play three hearts undoubled, they will get a lower score of 100. Therefore, they must double and collect 300 points.
-East-West and North-South both have 20 points each, but East-West have the bal-ance of power because their 20 points are situ-ated more favourably than North-South’s points.
-This is an example how the points are split evenly but the balance of power is not.

BY TIMES STAFFThe Trail Daily Times
would like to introduce the newest reporter to its staff.
Breanne Massey joined the Trail Daily Times less than one year after graduat-ing from the journalism pro-gram at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops.
Massey had a full time job with benefits, but decided that a career with a daily newspaper would be more interesting.
She will be filling in for reporter Val Rossi who is beginning maternity leave.
Before moving to the Kootenays, Massey worked at WestJet, the Winnipeg Free Press, the Ladysmith Chemainus Chronicle and the Alberni Valley News.
She also contributes editorial con-tent to a number of other publications, including Mining and Exploration maga-
zine and Kootenay Business magazine.
“Breanne’s interest in the mining sector, varied news-paper and world experience, enthusiasm and pleasant demeanour, make her a perfect fit for our newsroom,” said Guy Bertrand, the Trail Times man-aging editor.
Massey also holds a diploma in visual arts.
She spent last summer vis-iting Romani (gypsy) slums in Eastern Slovakia, farming in the Ukraine and teaching
English in South Korea. She takes more photographs in a day than the average tourist and spends a disgusting amount of time trolling the Internet.
She is always eager to hear about com-munity events, natural resources, odd-ities or arts and entertainment. Contact Massey at [email protected] you have a news tip.

There’s a new sheriff in town.Make that two new sheriffs, working
at the Rossland Provincial Courthouse and circuit courts throughout the West Kootenay.
Based in Nelson at the central Sheriff Services, the two new sheriffs will join a complement of six sheriffs — including one inspector — that serves the entire West Kootenay area’s courthouses such as Rossland and Castlegar.
The need was there, said a Ministry of Justice official, even though the case-load has not specifically increased in the last few years in the Rossland court.
“The number of sheriffs required at a courthouse varies each day and is based on a number of factors, including but not limited to the number and types of cases being heard and whether there are any in-custody accused,” said the offi-cial. “But we continually assess needs for court administration and support staff.”
Overall, British Columbia’s justice system has been strengthened with the addition of 23 new deputy sheriffs who began working in courtrooms through-out the province last week.
The sheriffs received their badges at the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) in New Westminster two weeks
ago following intensive training, and now they will help ensure safe and effi-cient courts.
The new graduates bring to 57 the number of new sheriffs to have joined the justice system over the past five months.
The cost for training each sheriff recruit is approximately $25,000 and is part of the more than $1 billion the province spends annually on B.C.’s pub-lic safety and justice system.
Their main responsibilities include: escorting prisoners between court, correctional centres and police lock-up facilities; courthouse and court-room security, including the manage-ment of courthouse lock-up facilities; and jury management.
Across the province 17 new sheriff recruits have been deployed to court-houses throughout the Lower Mainland, including in Vancouver, Richmond, North Vancouver, New Westminster, Surrey, Port Coquitlam, Abbotsford and Chilliwack.
One new deputy sheriff has started in the city of Cranbrook and will also assist with circuit courts throughout the East Kootenays, two in Prince George and another in Fort St. John.
There are more than 500 sheriffs working in 45 courthouses and 44 cir-cuit courts in communities throughout B.C. The Justice Institute of B.C. has trained and deployed 57 new sheriffs in the past five months alone.
FROM PAGE 1initiatives, and agree to write a single year-end report card for each student this year.
If accepted, the teachers will launch a public cam-paign — including advertis-ing, public meetings, and print material — to educate about the impact of Bill 22, and mobilize opposition to it around the province.
As well, they could still hold a future province-wide vote of members to support a full withdrawal of servi-ces commencing on a date as determined by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation execu-
tive committee. Many teachers are
demoralized because they feel the province does not respect them, said Davidoff. He called the Education Improvement Act (Bill 22) “draconian” and contained some harsh provisions built into it for any acts that con-travene legislation, includ-ing a $475 per day fine for each teacher.
He expected the govern-ment would enforce those provisions if teachers con-travened any portions of the act.
A legal overturn of the government-appointed
mediator, Charles Jago, is being mounted. Davidoff said the BCTF is contending Jago is not an independent mediator, he has no labour relations training, and he participated in writing Bill 22.
As a result, they have gone to the Labour Relations Board and have tried to have him removed.
“How could somebody that wrote the legisla-tion mediate a settlement between the teachers and the province?
“It just doesn’t seem fair,” said Davidoff.
The hearing is pending.

Troubled by an audit of how the B.C. government manages timber, mayors and rural dir-ectors at the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako (RDBN) is seeking independent advice on forestry.
Last Thursday, the RDBN’s forestry committee discussed what Smithers Mayor Taylor Bachrach called a “pretty damn-ing” report released in February by the B.C. Auditor General.
The report found B.C.’s for-ests ministry lacks clear timber goals and is not doing enough to replant trees, invest in silvi-culture, provide accurate forest data, manage big-picture chan-ges or publicly report its results in a measurable way.
In response to the first issue, the ministry said its key timber goals—to maintain a valuable timber supply and keep wood costs competitive—are set out in law, while more precise targets are decided regionally.
On other issues, the ministry largely defended its record. For example, the ministry noted that since 2005 it has stepped up replanting to 20 million seed-lings to recover areas hit by pine beetles and wildfires.
On the final recommenda-tion, the ministry did agree to start publishing the results of its long-term timber plans in a measurable way.
Lack of public information seemed to be the sticking point among members of the RDBN forestry committee.
“Some of my concern is that quite often this stuff is held behind closed doors,” says Bill Miller, RDBN chair and director of the Burns Lake rural area.
In other cases, Miller said the problem is that the ministry itself seems to lack up-to-date forestry data. On tree counts, Miller said, “They do a lot of ‘circle the area, count the trees, and extrapolate. That’s not accurate, the Auditor-General has said that, and we’ve known that for years.”
The ministry also needs to start doing inventories of bio-mass as well as sawlogs, Miller said. Pellet plants, biofuels companies and others have asked local governments for data on available waste-wood and unconventional timber, he explained, but so far the min-istry hasn’t inventoried those types of stands.
A more long-standing prob-lem, Miller says, is that any-one who holds a licence to cut Crown trees—whether they are industry, a community forest, or a First Nations tenure—has to follow stricter stewardship laws than the government itself.
Even before they circle a group of trees for harvest, Miller explained, licence holders are legally required to make detailed plans on how they will protect
wildlife, waterways, road access and other values.
After logging, the licence holder has to replant the trees and raise them to “free-grow-ing” stage—a process that takes between seven and 20 years—before the stand returns to the care of the B.C. government.
“Once it turns over to the Crown, there’s no forest stew-ardship plan anymore,” Miller said, noting that even free-growing stands are vulnerable to wildfires, diseases and new resource projects that all require updated plans.
Aside from long-term issues such as the pine-beetle impact and wildfire risks, the RDBN may turn to independent experts to gauge the province’s recovery plan for the Burns Lake sawmill.
Expected by the end of April, the plan will likely relax some forestry rules, such logging restrictions in scenic areas.
That is a measure all B.C. municipalities have asked the province to consider before, but one that RDBN members said requires input from each local community, particularly those with a tourism sector.
“It’s us, at the local govern-ment level, who are tasked with ensuring that for our com-munities,” Miller said. “So what we’ve been saying all along is that we need to have far more input into that decision-making process.”

THE ABBOTSFORD NEWSSome stolen hand-
carved native masks have been returned to the owner, after hav-ing been purchased at the Abbotsford Flea Market.
Chilliwack RCMP previously reported that several masks, as well as native gold and silver jewelry worth
more than $25,000, had been stolen during a home break-in.
Last Thursday a man came to the front counter of the Chilliwack RCMP detachment with some masks he had pur-chased a month ago at the local flea market.
He saw media reports about the theft
and believed the masks he had bought were the ones that had been stolen.
Corp. Tammy Hollingsworth said although many of the other stolen items are still missing, the family was grateful that the man came forward.
“These masks have such spiritual and sentimental value,” she said. “The man who turned in these masks obviously appreciated them and paid several hundred dollars for them, but he knew they were of value to some-one else ... and wanted them returned to the rightful owner.”

Medical marijuana users can legally eat pot brownies or drink THC tea rather than just smoke the drug, B.C. Supreme Court has ruled.
Justice Robert Johnston found Health Canada’s Medical Marijuana Access Regulations unreasonably limited users to pos-sessing only the dried form of pot.
The judge ruled users should be able to choose “how to ingest the medicinal ingredients in the safest and most effective manner” and that the rules are unconstitu-tional.
The decision is part of a mari-juana trafficking case against Victoria man Owen Smith, the hired baker of the Cannabis Buyers’ Club of Canada, who turned mari-juana into cookies, oils, capsules and ointments for the club’s 3,700 members.
Defence lawyers argued the dried-only rule forces people to
smoke to get the medical benefit, adding that’s more unhealthy than eating it or applying it topically.
The court heard evidence that orally consumed marijuana may deliver the therapeutic benefit more directly for gastrointestinal conditions and that oral inges-tion prolongs the effects, which is important for those with chronic pain or glaucoma.
Crown prosecutors argued the rule allowing medical users pos-session of dried pot only helps police or regulators easily deter-mine if a user is exceeding the possession limit, which would be more complex if a user instead had marijuana cookies or cannabis butter.
“I conclude that this restriction is arbitrary,” Johnston ruled. “I am not prepared to infer that it is necessary to restrict medical mari-juana to its dried form in order to make enforcement of the drug laws possible.”
The decision was a ruling on part of the evidence in the case against Smith, which is still slated to go to trial because he may have provided pot products to non-authorized users.
It’s not clear whether the ruling will take effect immediately or if Crown will appeal.

Eddie Freeman of Tazmania, Australia, puts final touches on one of his chainsaw sculpture creations at a gathering of over 30 carvers/sculptors from Canada and around the world, at the Carvapalooza event near Chatham, Ontario.
THE CANADIAN PRESSEDMONTON -
Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith says she is bewildered by the controversy sur-rounding anti-gay comments made by one of her election candidates.
Smith says every party has candidates with differing view-points, but they all are expected to follow party policy.
She says the Wildrose, if it wins next Monday’s elec-tion, will not intro-
duce legislation on contentious social issues.
Smith was reacting to a 2011 blog from Edmonton candidate Allan Hunsperger, who said public schools are godless and that gays will burn in hell.
Premier Alison Redford has con-demned the remarks and suggests they may represent beliefs within the Wildrose.
Smith says Redford has been hypocritical,
promising on one hand to run a campaign on issues, then indulging in candidate-bashing and fear-mongering.
NDP Leader Brian Mason says his party has always led the way pushing for min-ority rights.
“We’re fortunate to have candidates who are gay and lesbian, who will tirelessly work to protect the rights and dignity of minority groups, not seek to limit them,” he said.
Anti-gay remarks won’t fly with Wildrose party, says leader
ALBERTA
THE CANADIAN PRESSOTTAWA - An NDP MP says he’s sorry for
falsely accusing an Edmonton company of being behind the robocall affair.
Pat Martin says he now knows RackNine and its owner, Matt Meier, had nothing to do with the misleading automated phone calls in last May’s federal election.
“RackNine was merely an innocent intermedi-ary not a participant in electoral fraud,” Martin said Monday.
“I apologize for any damage my statements may have caused to Mr. Meier personally or to RackNine, and I have been specifically authorized by the NDP to apologize on behalf of the NDP for any similar damage the publications on the NDP website may have caused.”
RackNine filed a $5-million defamation lawsuit against Martin and the NDP last month over the MP’s remarks and comments published on the party’s website.
“Martin’s words were defamatory, and, in the very least, carried the innuendo that Meier and/or RackNine had committed criminal activity, fraudulent activity, participated in a conspiracy, intimidation, sabotage and/or deceit,” the state-ment of claim says.
The lawsuit stems from comments Martin made during a February news conference, which he repeated in the days that followed.
“I now know that the statements I made insinu-ating Mr. Meier’s and RackNine’s participation in an electoral fraud conspiracy were wholly and unequivocally false,” Martin said.
“In my rush to express my personal outrage and the outrage of the NDP caucus, I jumped to conclusions I now know are unsupported by fact.”
Martin says to his knowledge, neither Meier nor RackNine have ever been investigated for electoral fraud. He acknowledged that RackNine provides a “legitimate” service, similar to services used by many political parties.
Martin did not take questions after he finished reading his apology.
Canadians from every part of the country have complained to the elections watchdog about mis-leading telephone calls during last May’s federal election.
Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand told a parliamentary committee his office has received hundreds of complaints from Canadians who say they received so-called robocalls directing them to non-existent or wrong polling stations during the election.
FINE CUT
MP apologizes for robocall accusation
THE CANADIAN PRESSMONTREAL - Vandals target-
ed Quebec government offices on Monday, smashing windows and using what police said appeared to be Molotov cocktails.
Gabriel Retta, the manager of the office of Marguerite Blais, the min-ister responsible for seniors, says he went to the office after receiving a phone call from an alarm-system company.
“When we arrived, there were already police here and we went in by the back door and when we went in the office, we smelled a strange odour and the police decided to call the firefighters,” he said in an interview.
Retta would only say that a sub-stance was found inside the office.
“They said it’s a bottle, so maybe it’s a Molotov cocktail,” he said.
Retta added the whole building was evacuated for safety reasons.
Montreal police said windows were smashed and incendiary devices were also found in a build-ing in the riding of Justice Minister Jean-Marc Fournier.
No arrests were made, although two provincial police investigators were called in for assistance.
Along with the vandalism, graf-fiti in the form of red squares was also painted on the sidewalks out-side Blais’ office.
The red square has become the symbol of students who have been staging protests against the Quebec government’s plan to hike tuition fees over the next five years.
Thousands of students have staged walkouts and blocked entrances to classrooms in the past few weeks.

OPINION
Quick course in environmentalism for dummiesDavid Suzuki has
resigned as a dir-ector of his name-sake foundation so
it won’t be the target of fed-eral government “attacks.”
This news is conveyed to me in a “Globe and Mail,” report that is typically tilted in deference to “Canada’s most famous environment-alist.”
The usual assump-tions are woven in: Suzuki is a saint. His every utter-ance is treated as scientific fact, even when it’s a left-wing political rant. The Conservative government is a front for Big Oil that has “attacked” environmental groups by reminding them that political activities are not eligible for charitable tax exemptions.
In recent years, the David Suzuki Foundation’s cam-paign focus has been notice-ably in step with the large U.S. foundations that fund most of B.C.’s enviro-scare industry: first salmon farm-ing and now the Alberta “tar sands” in all its exaggerated
horror.Suzuki’s personal activ-
ities aren’t easily distin-guished from those of his foundation, as was illus-trated with his recent CBC documentary that demon-ized the “tar sands.”
Diseased fish were dis-played, but natural contam-ination of the Athabasca River was glossed over. Aboriginal objections were highlighted, while local sup-port and economic benefits were overlooked.
This isn’t science or char-ity. It’s tabloid journalism. Sensationalize, ignore facts that weaken the drama, play to people’s emotions. And he expects to be subsidized by the CBC and charitable tax exemptions as well?
This news comes as I fin-ish reading Patrick Moore’s book, “Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout.” I was one of many young fans who cheered as Moore, Bob Hunter and the other 1970s Greenpeace pioneers set out from Vancouver to disrupt Soviet nuclear testing, and
then turned to the regime’s slaughter of whales.
In 1986, Moore split with Greenpeace and worked to set up a family chinook salmon farm. He said Greenpeace opposed aqua-culture because it destroys tropical mangrove swamps. Tropical prawn farms have no rational connection with B.C., but a global organiza-tion needs simple ideas that sell.
This approach was seen in an earlier 1980s cam-paign against chlorine in pulp mills. Greenpeace pro-tests against dioxins and
the herbicide 2,4,5-T were eventually dumbed down to opposing the use of chlorine in all industries, including production of PVC plastic.
Pulp mills developed a way to eliminate trace diox-ins from their production, but that didn’t matter once Greenpeace had a global campaign going. They still used chlorine, so they’re bad.
Speaking of chlorine, PCBs are polychlorin-ated biphenyls, a persis-tent background toxin. Tests found levels three to five times higher in some wild salmon compared to farmed. But the wild salmon results were ignored in a 2004 study, used by Suzuki to depict farmed salmon as poisonous.
His foundation’s salmon farm campaign quietly dis-appeared down the mem-ory hole after its PCB claims were debunked.
Moore highlighted another bit of greenwashing in a visit to Victoria last year. The vaunted “LEED” certifi-
cation for green building standards gives you points if your concrete is locally sourced, but no points for using wood instead. That’s because the long campaign by major environmental groups has devolved to “log-ging is bad.”
Here’s the latest example. Greenpeace, ForestEthics and the Sierra Club were bankrolled by U.S. founda-tions to negotiate with the B.C. government, aboriginal people and forest compan-ies for the 2006 “Great Bear Rainforest” agreement on the B.C. coast. Economic opportunity was delicately balanced against preser-vation, and First Nations gained new control of for-ests.
Now the big enviros have begun campaigning against their own deal. As much as 50 per cent could still be logged, they say. It seems this particular green peace is bad for their business.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSLOS ANGELES - Movie fans have chosen real
violence over the slapstick variety as “The Hunger Games” held off “The Three Stooges” to remain the No. 1 weekend movie.
Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games,” the block-buster about teens competing in a televised fight to the death, stayed on top for a fourth-straight weekend with $21.5 million. That raises the film’s domestic total to $337.1 million.
Peter and Bobby Farrelly’s slapstick update “The Three Stooges” opened in second-place with $17.1 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The acclaimed horror tale “The Cabin in the Woods” debuted in third-place with $14.9 million.
On the 100th anniversary of the ship’s sink-ing on April 15, 1912, the 3-D version of James Cameron’s “Titanic” sailed past the $2 billion mark worldwide. “Titanic” is just the second blockbuster to top $2 billion, trailing only the next film Cameron made - the sci-fi sensation “Avatar,” which took in $2.8 billion.

Beautiful flooring begins with us
A parking lot or a residential street?
This is what resi-dents of the 1400 block of Columbia Avenue are trying to figure out.
When the Credit Union moved its offices from Waneta to downtown on a floor of the clinic some of the employ-ees figured it would be cheaper and, I imagine, easier to park in East Trail and walk back to work over the bridge.
So we have Kiro Wellness employees in one half of the block and employ-
ees from downtown parked in the other half of the block.
Then we have people who need treatment in Kiro but they don’t stay long.
Perhaps we should install our own park-ing meters if then we would be able to park in front of our own homes or make some money on the side.
Tell me how would you like us to park in front of your house all day?
There’s no room for company to park and you have to go into the alley to
unload your car.Perhaps the Credit
Union should be pro-viding parking for their employees.
Something for these ‘’unwanted parkers,” to think about; “Do unto others as you would have them do to you.”
The reason I’m writing this today is there is a resident who has a son who is disabled and the man of the house was out first thing this morning.
One of the “downtown park-
ers” parked right in front of his gate while he was away. I think this would be
very difficult for this family to have to deal with if the fellow had to be taken out.
Wouldn’t that tick you off?
Patricia ButlerTrail
Wake up CanadaMy parents said to me,
“You will never be a politi-cian. You were brought up the right way. Always tell the truth and respect your elders.”
It’s obvious how the politicians are fairing – what with the high over-runs on the F35s, subs, etc etc.
Wake up, Canadians, you have been had. It’s time for a change. Remember what mom and dad said.
Bill Rae,Trail
Residential parking isn’t for downtown workers
The government has been caught understating the cost of the F35 Joint Strike Fighter. We’ve
been misled say the Auditor General and the Parliamentary Budget Officer. Outrage is the order of the day.
Or not. For every expert in high dudgeon because the cost of the planes should be pro-jected over 36 years, not 20, or the cost should include pilots’ salaries and a lot of money being spent regardless of what kind of plane we have, there are just as many who will say that it has been normal prac-tice not to state these things in this way.
Probably, on balance, the gov-ernment engaged in some sharp practice and deserves to have its knuckles rapped, but then it is highly likely that all govern-ments that have engaged in any kind of major military procure-ment deserve the same. Many blanch when presented with the full bill for the military prepared-ness that is a sine qua non of sovereignty and the protection of national interests at home and abroad.
The government’s real fail-ing, then, has been its unwilling-ness to say to Canadians what the real cost is of being a seri-ous country in a dangerous and uncertain world. That would be a defence debate worth getting excited about.
In that debate, question num-ber one would be how a middle power like Canada can protect its sovereignty and its interests from threats without impover-ishing itself? The answer is by being part of a military alliance based on shared interests and values, like democracy, the rule
of law, justice and respect for human rights.
That means we collaborate with the American-led Western alliance. No serious person would suggest that we could throw our lot in with, say, China or Russia, the only alternatives worth mentioning.
Membership has its privi-leges, but also its costs. If we expect our allies to come to our aid if attacked, we must recipro-
cate. That means government has a double task. Not only must it take the measures nec-essary to keep the country safe and free, but it must show the alliance that it can shoul-der a reasonable share of collective defence, based on alliance-wide assessments of
international threats and unpre-dictable contingencies (Libya anyone?).
If you’re with me so far, the next question is, in such an alli-ance, what constraints am I under in buying military equip-ment like fighter jets? Answer: the benefits to everyone are huge if everybody has roughly the same equipment.
When Sweden sent some of its Gripen fighters to partici-pate in the Libyan campaign, they ended up grounded in Italy because American jets used an incompatible fuel.
Under “interoperability” the same fuels, spare parts, airborne fuelling technologies, weapon-ry, and signalling distinguishing friend from foe, all are simply given. Now having eliminated most of the alternative fighter jets worldwide for reasons of alli-ance management and interop-erability, we come to a crucial question: of those remaining, how do you choose one?
Based on the debate around the F-35s, one might conclude that everyone from the Auditor General, the Parliamentary Budget Officer, the Opposition and most newspaper editori-alists, the answer is cost. We should hold an open competition and choose the cheapest fighter good enough to do the job.
Rubbish.Why?We are on the cusp of a great
change in fighter jet technology. Fifth generation jets have infor-mation technology, weaponry, stealth capabilities and other overwhelming advantages. Yes, not all the bugs have been worked out, but they will be. The stakes are simply too high. America is getting out of the fourth generation business and putting all its eggs in the F35 basket. European manufacturers are stumbling in the technology race; they will not make the shift to fifth generation. That means a future with only three cutting edge fifth generation planes: the American, the Russian and even-tually the Chinese.
Final question: if in coming decades, God forbid, Canada needs to fly combat missions against enemies with the latest technology, do we intend to win, or to send our pilots into combat with outdated equipment that was “good enough” years ago when we bought them in a time of technological ferment?
You have now gone through the thought process that led most of our allies, the Canadian military, and governments, both Liberal and Tory, to conclude that there is no realistic alterna-tive to the F-35. They are right and the government should have the courage to say so and defend the price tag that goes with it.

THE CANADIAN PRESSTORONTO -
Embattled media queen Oprah Winfrey brought her travelling roadshow north of the border Monday, reach-ing out to an audience of hardcore Canuck fans who pledged their support to the veteran talk show host.
“Oprah’s Lifeclass: The Tour” - a five-hour parade of life lessons and motivational cheer from a who’s who of spiritual gurus - brought thousands of devotees out of their seats to cheer Winfrey in a cav-ernous convention hall that was turned into a TV studio for the day.
In turn, Winfrey declared her affection for Canadian fans and thanked them for stick-ing by her.
Dressed in a bright coral dress, she bound-
ed onto a white stage flanked by two massive banners emblazoned with the logo for her ail-ing specialty network, OWN: Oprah Winfrey Channel.
“ C a n a d a a a a a ! ” Winfrey bellowed to an enthusiastic crowd who shouted their love for her.
“I love you back immensely, deeply, profoundly. Seriously.”
Winfrey was in town to tape back-to-back episodes of her self-help series “Oprah’s Lifeclass: The Tour” and she poked fun at the fact it was the first time she’d ever shot a show north of the bor-der.
“What took me so long to get to Toronto? I had a little show. I had a little day job,” she said to chuckles, referring to her long-running day-
time series “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” which wrapped last year.
“But I will say that every single day in 25 years of the show I would ask people where they came from
and every single day there’d be someone from Canada.”
Winfrey elicited fre-quent hoots and cheers from a crowd organiz-ers estimated at 8,500.
“I am feeling the love in Canada,” she said. “This is so great you all came and you knew Beyonce isn’t here.”
Audience members listened to various self-help gurus for almost three hours before Winfrey finally took the stage.
Spiritualist Deepak Chopra kicked things off with a lesson on connecting with the universe, drawn from his book “Spiritual Solutions: Answers to Life’s Greatest Challenges.”
Iyanla Vanzant then got spirits soar-ing with an exuberant walk through the audi-ence, urging people to stand and clap along to upbeat music that filled the cavernous hall.
Bishop T.D. Jakes
and motivational speaker Tony Robbins wrapped the pre-show with their own take on facing adversity and being your best self.
But the real star of the day was clearly Winfrey.
Hundreds of fans showed up hours in advance of the first two-hour taping, form-ing a queue that snaked several blocks around the convention centre.
Several of them described a chaotic seating scene when they got inside, com-plaining that ticket-holders from multiple lower tiers raced into the venue with little guidance.
Barb Barone, at the show with her daugh-ter Stephanie, says they were initially forced to sit in a $60 section even though they bought $250 tickets.
“It was ridiculous,” says Barone, who even-tually moved into the proper section after complaining. “They weren’t placing you in sections. They just said, ‘Find a seat.”’
Even when they had
settled into their allot-ted spots, Stephanie noted they were so far back from the stage they had to watch the show on the massive movie screens.
“I may as well sit at home, I’m watching it on TV,” she said. “I expected more for that money.”
The theme of the morning show was “gratitude.” It’s set to air April 30. An even-ing show about forgive-ness was set to air live on OWN Canada on Monday night.
The two shows come as Winfrey embarks on a tough battle to ignite sagging ratings for OWN, which is run by Corus Entertainment as OWN Canada north of the border.
Admitting she’s made mistakes in the launch of the channel, Winfrey has boosted her presence and influ-ence both in front of and behind the cameras. A large part of that has been through her popu-lar series, “Lifeclass,” which includes a strong social media compon-ent.

THE CANADIAN PRESSCALGARY - They could pot-
entially make a pretty penny scalping two tickets to a Garth Brooks concert that sold out in about a minute on the week-end.
But Michalle Lemanne and her boyfriend Matt Lamb have
decided to give away the spare pair to the July 12 show at the Calgary Saddledome.
They say in an ad on Kijiji that they’ll give the tickets to the fans they deem most deserving, based on emails sent to them by the end of May.
The couple are part of a group
that bought the maximum six tickets, but only needed four in the end.
The quick sellout has led to a storm of criticism aimed at ticket re-sellers.
One ad on Kijiji is offering to sell floor seats to the concert at $1,500 a pop.
Calgary couple offers up free concert tickets

Well, it was great while it last-ed, but the Beaver Valley Nitehawk’s exceptional run has ended.
Beaver Valley journeyed to the coast for the Cyclone Taylor Cup filled with high expectations. Coming on the heels of a prolific winning season and playoffs, load-ed with a potent offence, solid defence and a formidable goaltending tandem, the Cyclone seemed a formality in pronouncing the Hawks provincial champs. But of course, “That is why you play the game.”
Inexplicably, the league scoring jug-gernaut was held to just one goal in their opening two games. They were shutout for the first time all season, a 3-0 loss to Victoria, and managed just a 1-1 tie against the PIJHL champion Delta Ice Hawks in the first match. They lost their final round-robin game to eventual winner Abbotsford in a close 4-3 battle.
“Anyone could have won,” said one Hawk insider. “It was just a pleasure to watch such evenly-matched teams play really good hockey.”
That’s all you can ask for. The Hawks competed hard and despite bowing out of the Cyclone, should be proud of their success.
Highlighted by the Game 7 win over Castlegar, the division-final series may have taken more out of the Nitehawks than they admit. Investing so much energy and inten-sity against a fierce
rival is draining both physic-ally and mentally. For the Hawks, that was the season right there, the only series that meant something more than a mere banner.
Everything following that accomplishment, the con-ference and league titles, seemed anti-climactic in comparison.
So a hearty congratulation goes out to the team. Thanks for a sensational season.
As for the Vancouver Canucks, I’m starting to think that my preseason prediction of a Canuck-Pittsburgh Penguin final is worth some serious reconsideration with both teams down 3-0 going into Wednesday’s games.
I had a good strategy planned out for the ‘Nucks. Start Luongo at home and Schneider on the road, a good idea when considering last year’s playoff record. While Lou was very good in the first two, the Canucks
made more turnovers than the City Bakery, including an incomprehensible minus-4 on the power play.
Henrik Sedin was lost without his brother Daniel. He literally skated circles around the L.A. Kings, but had no linemate remotely connected to his radar. The Kings kept Sedin and most of the shots to the perimeter all night.
The Sedins have played together since they were five, together they are a dynamic
duo, a playmaking force. Singularly, it’s another story- it’s like macaroni disenfran-chised of its cheese – it just doesn’t work.
So whom will a Canuck fan’s spurious logic blame if the President’s trophy winner becomes the first such team to be swept in the opening round?
Daniel Sedin of course. Out with concus-sion-like symptoms, the 2011 MVP candi-date hasn’t played a playoff game yet, but
is the obvious scapegoat for Vancouver’s woeful offense. His absence may potentially cost the Canucks the series.
Which makes me wonder - after watch-ing AM Ford’s Fight Night Saturday, I saw more than a dozen guys and two girls get hit harder than the talented Swede. I’m not saying his injury isn’t legitimate, but the headshot is emerging as a reactionary epi-demic where every single hit is grounds for suspension and a holiday from the rink for both hitter and hittee.
Perhaps Canuck players should train with Pride Gym fighters, learn how to take a hit and give one occasionally, but most of all, they need a lesson in how to get up off the mat after being knocked down.
Hopefully they can do that in Game 4. My revised bold prediction: I’m going
with Fruitvale native and new sentimental favourite, Barrett Jackman’s St. Louis Blues. The Blues had a great season and Jackman, with nearly 600 career NHL games under his belt, would like nothing more than to top off an outstanding career with a Cup. The Blues in six over Philadelphia.
BCHL - The Trail Smoke Eaters leading scorer Erik Cooper has accepted an offer to play for the NCAA Div. III national champion St. Norbert College Green Knights for the coming season.
Cooper, a native of Anchorage, Alaska, caught fire in the second half of the season, picking up the scoring pace after Clayton Chessa was traded at the beginning of January. The 20 year old scored 32 of his 49 points in the second half of the season.
In all Cooper played 99 games with the Smokies scoring 30 goals
and 45 assists over two seasons. The 5-foot-11, 178-pound for-
ward will become the sixth BCHL alumni to join the Green Knights roster.
Cooper joins former Smoke Eater Cullen Bradshaw, Nanaimo Clippers alums Justin Favreau and Joe Perry, Victoria Grizzlies/Quesnel Millionaires alum Sam Higgins and Powell River Kings grad Reid Campbell on the team.
St. Norbert won its second straight Div. III title on March 17 with 4-1 win over Oswego State.

CYCLONE TAYLOR CUP
ABBOTSFORD NEWSThe Abbotsford
Pilots navigated their way to a double-over-time victory against the Victoria Cougar Sunday to claim the Cyclone Taylor Cup.
At 4:17 of the second overtime period in the championship game, the host team’s Garett Lynum lobbed a wrist shot from the left point
that floated through a crowd of bodies and found the top corner behind Victoria Cougars goalie Evan Roch.
When the puck hit the twine, it set off a wild celebration on the ice at MSA Arena, as the Pilots punched their ticket to the Keystone Cup, the Western Canadian champion-ship tournament in
Saskatoon next week. Asked what hap-
pened from his per-spective on the game-winning goal, Lynum could only shrug and chuckle.
“I don’t score much, so I don’t really know,” he said with an ear-to-ear grin.
“But seeing it go in the net was the best thing ever.”

How the mighty have fallen.It took less than a week for the Vancouver
Canucks and Pittsburgh Penguins to go from Stanley Cup contenders to potential first-round fodder. Over a matter of days, the Canucks and Penguins both dug big 0-3 holes - a deficit that has been virtually insurmountable over the history of the NHL.
“I’m surprised to see both of them on the ropes,” said Kevin Weekes, a former NHLer who now works as a broadcaster for CBC.
He’s far from alone.The Canucks head into Game 4 at Los Angeles
on Wednesday night looking to avoid a dubious entry in the record book - they could become the first team in the NHL’s post-expansion era to finish with the most points in the regular season and get swept in the first round of the playoffs.
There isn’t much debate over the difference in the series so far. Vancouver has mustered just four goals - a number matched by Kings captain Dustin Brown alone - against Los Angeles goaltender Jonathan Quick through three games.
“You have to give credit where credit is due, and obviously they are getting a great perform-ance by their goaltender,” Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said after a 1-0 loss in Game 3 on Sunday night.
Weekes, a former goaltender himself, agrees with that assessment.
“What he’s accomplished this year is prob-ably something I’ve never seen before,” he said of Quick. “Not only does he play on the lowest-scoring team in the league, but he became an all-star and led his team to the playoffs. It’s Dominik Hasek-eque, to be honest with you.
“He’s unbelievable. He’s sick.”The Penguins have been left with a sick feeling
after getting outscored 20-12 over three games by the Philadelphia Flyers. They’ll also be facing elimination on Wednesday night when Game 4 is played at Wells Fargo Center.
Only three NHL teams have ever come back to win a series after being down 3-0, with the 2010 Flyers the most recent to achieve the feat against Boston in the second round.
The Canucks and Penguins were both labelled Cup favourites this spring for a good reason and could still reverse course to become the fourth franchise to climb out of a big hole.

SOLUTION
SOLUTION
LEISURE
Dear Annie: I am 24 and have four small children under age 10. My mother was in a car accident last fall that left her paralyzed from the chest down, and she now lives with us. With hardly any help from my older sister, I struggle every day trying to take care of everyone’s needs.
Mom screams at me and makes the small-est of things seem like the end of the world. I don’t want to see her in a nursing home, but I cannot do this 24/7. I’m losing my mind and my life. My kids don’t want to be around me, and my oldest son’s grades are declining.
Do I keep going, hoping things will get better? Or do I break the news to my mom that I love her dearly but can’t take care of her? -- A.
Dear A.: You sound like a wonderful, car-ing daughter, but Mom is probably depressed and angry, and is tak-ing it out on you. There are limits to what you
can reasonably do for her without sacrificing the well-being of your children. Please don’t feel guilty. Your moth-er needs more help than you can give her. She not only requires round-the-clock physic-al care, but also would benefit from counsel-ing to deal with her other issues and come to terms with her cur-rent situation.
Please look into home-health care options, including a full-time caregiver (per-haps your sister would contribute to the cost), as well as nearby nurs-ing homes. Most do an excellent job, and you can visit Mom every day, not only to cheer
her up, but also to check on her care. Then please get some counseling for yourself in order to get through this, because we doubt Mom is going to make it easy.
Dear Annie: Is it OK to ask my 80-year-old parents whether they will leave any inherit-ance for my siblings and me? I’m not looking to spend it. But getting an answer will help with our future retirement planning. Of course, as with most families, there are all kinds of additional “wonder-ful” dynamics at work that complicate asking. What is your stance on this? -- Wondering
Dear Wondering: Children should never assume there is an inheritance to receive. Plan your retirement according to what you can manage on your own. You can, however, discuss your parents’ plans for their future care, asking whether they have a health care power of attor-ney, a will, any wishes
for their funeral, etc. These are important things that ought to be arranged while your parents are capable of doing so. However, if they resist discuss-ing end-of-life issues, please leave it alone.
Dear Annie: I teach treatment of sexual dysfunction at Loma Linda University School of Medicine. You correctly identify low testosterone as an important cause of loss of desire. However, I have found in many cases that the cause is simple boredom with a wife’s participation.
Men and women both require an average of 12 minutes of fore-play to reach full arous-al. A wife who takes turns providing pleasure should find her partner more eager for sex. Men respond to action far more than words. When there is an expectation of prolonged mutual pleasuring, it creates a lovely aura of arousal long before the clothes come off.
Please remind women that a man is aroused by the sight of his wife’s naked body not because she’s a supermodel, but because her body is only shown to him. Mood lighting can help. A semi-closed
dressing gown or the sight of her in one of his not-quite-long-enough shirts can be a powerful visual stimu-lant to a man who sees offering sex as the most powerful statement of love and caring.
You do great good by
helping women under-stand that men will never behave or under-stand them the way a girlfriend does. We men really are different and often are unable to express our needs clear-ly. -- D.B. M.D. Loma Linda, Calif.

Do not feel guilty for being unable to help mother
LEISURE
For Wednesday, April 18, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Get ready to expect the unexpected today, because this is definitely an unpre-dictable day. (In part, this is because you feel restless and impulsive.) You are part of the formula! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today you have that feel-ing that something unex-pected might happen. (It’s in your gut.) Well, you’re right. Therefore, be on the look-out for something, and allow extra time for everything so that you can cope gracefully. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You can expect a friend or perhaps a member of a group to surprise you today. Alternatively, you might meet someone new who is unusual or even bizarre. It’s an interesting day!
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Bosses, parents and author-ity figures might throw you a curveball today. Don’t over-react to whatever they say or do. And don’t quit your day job. Just be cool. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Travel plans might change or be canceled today. School schedules also might change suddenly. Expect to meet interesting people today! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Stay in touch with your bank account to make sure you know what’s happening. Something unexpected could be going on. (Oh no.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Partners and close friends are feisty and rebellious today. You definitely can sense this. Just give them a lot of rope. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Staff shortages, computer
crashes, power outages and canceled meetings are par for the course today at work. Stay light on your feet and be patient so you can go with the flow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a mildly accident-prone day for your children, so be extra vigilant. Romance could hold a few surprises as well. (This is minor stuff, but something you should be aware of.)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Small appliances might break down at home today. Or you might run out of some-thing or suffer from minor breakages. Stay patient with family members. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a mildly accident-prone day for you so be mindful of what you say and do. Keep your eyes open! Be careful when driving.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might find money today; you might lose money. Ditto for your possessions. Everything that has to do with business, commerce and cash flow is a bit touch and go. YOU BORN TODAY At times, you’re heroic. You will vigorously defend what you believe in. However, you are not radical; you’re a tradi-tionalist. In particular, you
will always fight for the rights of the underdog. Honor and loyalty are important to you. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved in for about nine years will dimin-ish or end to make room for something new. Birthdate of: Maria Bello, actress; Eric McCormack, actor; David Tennant, actor. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Central air conditioning, gardens and fruit trees.
For all areas. Excellent exercise, fun for ALL ages. BY SALLY MACDONALDCranbrook Townsman
Three mountain caribou are wandering around Fort Steele and Mayook, and have even been sighted on the city’s spray irrigation fields.
The endangered animals are part of a herd of 19 caribou brought down from northern B.C. last month in an attempt by the provincial govern-ment to revive a dwindling herd in remote parts of the Purcell moun-tains.
There are less than 1,700 moun-tain caribou in existence. The East Kootenay herd has less than 15 ani-mals. To boost the local herd, 20 mountain caribou (17 females, three males) were taken from a healthy herd near Dease Lake, fitted with GPS radio collars then brought down to the Kootenays in specially designed animal trailers. One female caribou died on route.
Ten of the translocated cari-
bou were released near an existing herd in the Purcells, but because of weather conditions, the remaining nine were released into vacant cari-bou habitat, according to Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett.
“Of the nine who were put in vacant caribou territory, three of them have split off and the fourth (has travelled) over to the West Kootenay,” said Bennett, sharing information from government wild-life biologist Leo DeGroot, who is spearheading the project.
“Some of the new caribou are exploring the lower elevations which puts them at a much higher predation risk. There is one group of three who spent some time near Skookumchuck. They are currently near Fort Steele.
“A single one is over in the Crawford Bay area. It actually swam across to Ainsworth at one point and then swam back again,” he said.
