Downtown intersection deemed most dangerous
SNOW JOB
BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
It’s the most dangerous crossing in Trail. The corner of Bay Avenue and Victoria Street (Highway 3) may be one of the busiest in the city, but it is also where you are most likely to have a meeting of the minds with another vehicle. According to statistics released from ICBC, the corner has had the most intersection crashes and casualties in the last five years in the Silver City. With 47 crashes recorded in a five-year stretch, from 2007 to 2011, with 19 recorded casualties in that same time span. Those figures don’t surprise tow truck driver John Foglia of J.F. Auto Centre. “At that corner people are not trying to beat the yellow light but the bloody red light,” he said. “That’s how bad it is.” The intersection is the busiest, he conceded, but the entire corridor along Victoria St. near the Trail Memorial Centre is. The way the lights are timed is an issue, he said, and the compressed nature of the area and high volumes of traffic spells trouble. See DRIVERS Page 3
Hockey dispute spills over to parking lot Nitehawks delay Smokies’ bus from leaving on road trip BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
The relationship between the Trail Smoke Eaters and the Beaver Valley Nitehawks has historically been a little rocky, but it may have hit its final obstacle on the weekend. An impromptu Nitehawk blockade of the Smokies bus as it tried to leave the Cominco Arena Saturday morning has both sides seething. Nitehawks coach and general manager Terry Jones met with Smokies coach Bill Birks at the Cominco Arena early Saturday morning regarding the release of forward Ryan Edwards. See TEAMS, Page 11

MURPHY CREEK
Trail Wildlife Association opposes permit request BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
The Trail Wildlife Association is opposing an application to obtain investigative permits for the construction of another hydroelectric plant on the Columbia River north of Trail. Citing increasingly scarce social and environmental values, construction of a 275-megawatt run-of-river plant by the Murphy Creek Power Corporation (MCPC) on the Columbia River near Murphy Creek would “irrevocably debase those values,” wrote Trail Wildlife

June would allow the company access to the land to conduct the investigative studies required to progress to the next stage of the application process.

As if on cue for the camera, a truck races through the red light at the Victoria St. and Bay Ave. intersection on Monday. ICBC rated it the most dangerous intersection in Trail in its latest report.
Drivers rushing to beat downtown lights
FROM PAGE 1 “The lights are slowing people down and they are getting frustrated, so they rush to make the next light,” he said. The statistics for the Bay and Victoria intersection were more than double the amount than any other intersection in the city. Pine Avenue and Victoria Street
were second at 22 crashes, while further upstream when Victoria St. becomes Bailey St. 20 crashes occurred where the highway met Second Avenue. The corner of Cedar Avenue and Victoria Street witnessed 16 crashes, while Tamarac Avenue and Victoria Street had 14 crashes. Devito Drive and Highway 3B had 13
crashes, Hwy. 3B and McBride Street was 10, while Highway Drive and Hwy 3B had seven. Bailey Street and Third Avenue had six crashes, while Highway 22 and Rossland Avenue also had six. The figures were recorded through ICBC data of March 31, 2012. It excluded crashes in parking lots and incidents involv-
ing parked vehicles. The data only includes crashes where sufficient location information was available to determine a latitude and longitude. The locations were approximate. The Bailey and Second Avenue intersection was host to 10 casualties in the last five years, nine less than Victoria and Bay Avenue. A casualty is
a crash resulting in injury or fatality. Pine and Victoria had seven, while Cedar and Victoria, Devito and Hwy. 3B, and Hwy 3B and McBride all had five incidents occur. Tamarac and Victoria had four casualties, while Bailey and Third, Bingay Road and Hwy 22, and Hwy 22 and Rossland Avenue all had three casualties.
Project violates statutes, says TWA president
FROM PAGE 1 to both federal and provincial ministries, local politicians, municipal councils and the premier. He has pointed to the project as in violation of six federal government statutes, including the Fisheries Act (serious harm to habitat), the Species at Risk Act (critical habitat for recovery of the white sturgeon) and the 1909 Canada U.S. Boundary Waters Treaty. The river corridor potentially impacted by the Murphy Creek project is a component of a transboundary free-flowing river running south from the Hugh Keenleyside Dam near Castlegar, to the head of the Grand Coulee reservoir in Washington State. “This stretch is the only remaining easily accessible un-dammed portion of the Columbia River,” Hanik said. It is a natural storage for the environmental and social values that were “degraded” by dam construction throughout the Columbia River basin, he added. The location of the project could be Murphy Creek on the Columbia River, approximately 3.2 kilometres upstream from Trail. The site is about 35 km. downstream of the Keenlyside Dam on the Columbia River, and 25 km. downstream of the Brilliant Dam on the Kootenay River. It will be primarily a run-of-river plant, with a small head pond to regulate flows. The reservoir surface area at normal operating level (424 metres) will be around 1,300 hectares. Transmission lines will likely connect the plant to the B.C. Hydro substation at Selkirk, and also possibly to a “potential major customer,” read the Murphy Creek investigative plan template submitted to the province. This isn’t the first time the company has tried to get approval for investigation of the project. In November, 2003 Murphy Creek Power submitted an application for water licence, with the first application filed in April, 1989. No timeline was given by the province on approval for the investigative permit.
Rossland mayor faces citizens over controversial roofing contract By Arne Petryshen Rossland News
Rossland residents packed into the Senior’s Hall Thursday night in hopes of having the mayor clarify the issues around the arena roofing project. The issue arose after documents revealed former building inspector Jason Ward’s own company, ADA contracting, was able to bill the city for $185,000 for work on the arena project, while Ward was the project manager for the city. Ward resigned in 2011 for “personal reasons” and prior to the information being released. It was through Freedom of
Information requests and a push by Coun. Kathy Moore that the information came to light. Granstrom attempted to answer questions but the feeling in the room pointed to those questions not being fulfilled. “Without a doubt, this process was regrettable in some instances,” Granstrom said. “I will continue by saying that, as far as we know, there is no loss to the city. The entire process was audited very closely. Second of all the auditor made some recommendations to correct some procedures and those requests have been taken care of and implemented. I would also
say that I have no knowledge of anything that is illegal.” Elise Paré noted that after looking at the project budget summary, there was $1 million to $1.2 million set aside for the roof project, but the tender came in at just over $600,000. This meant money left in the budget for other repairs. “My question is how was the scope determined for those repairs? Was there a design for a scope of work that was given to the contractors that are listed here getting paid, ADA included, but also several other local contractors? And how do you know if the scope was completed to the
fullest ability and that we, as a city, did get a good deal?” The mayor said that he could not answer, because part of it wasn’t tendered. Paré, an engineer, went on to say that the procurement policy for anything over $10,000 requires either three bids or a request for proposal. Paul Picard noted that the audit was not a forensic audit, but a very basic one. “In that audit, if we paid $100 for a pencil and $50 for an eraser, then the audit will say that everything is fine as long as you have an invoice for $100 for a pencil and $50 for an eraser.”
Coun. Kathy Moore said this is an important issue that the community needs to address and appreciated the mayor for coming out and doing the Q and A. She also asked the mayor when it was that he knew there was a problem with Jason Ward. “The day he put in his resignation,” Granstrom said. “So that was in September,” Moore said. “So when I came to talk to you in November and you said nothing was wrong that wasn’t quite being honest.” Moore said she asked both the mayor and Victor Kumar if there was something wrong and both said there wasn’t.
We hope you have a safe and happy holiday and all the best in the new year. 364-2377 1198 Cedar Ave 2865

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is rolling out its new high-tech medical services cards starting Feb. 15, in an effort to phase out millions of CareCards in the hands of nonresidents. The new cards will be combined with the B.C. driver’s licence, with a similar “BC Services Card” available to those who don’t drive. Residents will be required to re-enrol to renew the card every five years, whether they drive or not. Qualified residents can enrol in the Medical Services Plan at any provincial office that issues driver’s licences. There is no fee for the health services card only. The current $75 fee for a five-year driver’s licence renewal will apply to the new combined cards, discounted to $17 for seniors. There is no requirement to get the new card until your driver’s licence needs to be renewed. The government’s plan is to change over all eligible B.C. residents between the ages of 19 and 74 to the new cards over the next five years. To be eligible for MSP coverage, you must be a citizen or approved permanent resident of Canada, living in B.C. at least six months of the year. Dependents must also be residents to be eligible for coverage. The health ministry announced the new card program in May 2011, after a review showed there were up to 9.1 million B.C. CareCards in circulation. The total population of B.C. is 4.5 million. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said the new card is designed to comply with B.C.’s information and privacy law, which restricts how personal data can be used and shared.

New $20 bank notes still posing problems for vending machines THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA, Ont. Thousands of vending machines still can’t digest those plastic $20 bank notes the government released two months ago, with machine owners blaming the Bank of Canada for their problems. As many as half a million machines that scan bank notes needed reprogramming to accept the radically redesigned $20 bills, the most popular denomination in Canada. Some 145 million polymer $20 notes have been put into circulation since Nov. 7, one of a series of new plastic notes intended to thwart counterfeiters and last much longer than their paper-cotton predecessors. Kim Lockie has been converting his 1,200 machines in Fort McMurray, Alta., fulltime for two months, but still has about 300 to go. His unconverted machines, dispensing chips, candy, ice cream and even overthe-counter pharmaceuticals, are frustrating customers who can’t use their crisp, new bills. “I would think less than half the machines in Canada would accept this bill right now,” says Lockie, the industry’s point man for the conversion project as an official of the Canadian Automatic Merchandising Association. “As a small business, I am losing money.” Lockie blames the Bank of Canada for failing to heed three years of warnings from owners that they needed a long lead time to recalibrate their vending machines before the official release of the new bills.
“The Bank of Canada didn’t really even talk to us in the last three years,” he said in an interview. “It seems like they have no desire to work with us. ... Tough luck for our industry.” Sabbir Kabir, a Toronto-based official of the Canadian National Vending Alliance, says his members - representing the nine biggest vendingmachine operators also report they were not given enough lead time to convert their scanners. “The customer gets upset very easily and he’s not going to come back,” he said of the potential losses to the $5-billion-a-year industry. The Bank of Canada rejects the criticisms, saying its officials have worked closely with the sector, providing vending-equipment manufacturers with sample bills months before the official release so they could create the right software. “For the $20 note, these final notes were made available in May of 2012, fully six months before the notes were issued into circulation in November 2012,” said spokesman Jeremy Harrison. “Eighty-five companies took advantage of the Bank’s offer, representing the vast majority of equipment manufacturers and suppliers to the Canadian market.” Harrison notes the six-month lead time was twice as long as that provided for the previous series of newly designed bills, the so-called Journey notes released in 2004. “In short, the bank has worked hard to help ensure that notehandling equipment is ready for the new
notes,” he said. Each vending machine or other device that processes bank notes - such as self-serve checkouts, parking-permit dispensers and even ATMs - can require up to 15 minutes of reprogramming administered on site by a technician using a laptop. The labour-intensive process is costly, time-consuming and follows weeks or months of software development, testing and training by manufacturers and service providers. Lockie’s group had asked the Bank of Canada to release its new plastic $5 and $10 bills at the same time as the $20s to allow for a single recalibration visit to each machine.
But the bank decided to issue the two lower denominations simultaneously later this year, forcing vendingmachine owners to plan another round of site visits in 2013, absorbing the costs. The acrimony between the central bank and the vending industry is in sharp contrast to operators’ experience with the Royal Canadian Mint, which issued new loonies and toonies made of lighter alloys in April last year, says Lockie. The mint treated the vending industry as a partner, he says, providing long lead times before issuing the coins, giving operators ample time to convert their equipment.

A real hero for the aboriginal people
T
he century-old plight of Canada’s aboriginal people is back in the public eye, thanks to protests dubbed Idle No More. As with Occupy protests last year, the demands are vague. One of the claims, repeated in media coverage of protests, is that the federal government is moving to end the historic Indian Act restriction against selling reserve land. A look at the federal legislation, Bill C-45, shows this is not the case. Amendments ease restrictive provisions for leasing reserve land, which remains property of the Crown held in perpetuity for the aboriginal community. This change was initiated by B.C. aboriginal leaders so they can follow the trail blazed by one of the most entrepreneurial chiefs in Canadian history. His name is Ron Derrickson, and he served
six terms as chief of the Westbank First Nation near Kelowna. One of my first big reporting assignments was covering a Royal Commission into his administration’s business affairs in the mid1980s. There had been an astonishing 17 federal investigations before that, stemming from local claims that Derrickson was just too successful. He drove a big black Mercedes, wore expensive suits, and established a bunch of enterprises, including Canada’s first water slide. The commission was chaired by John Hall, then known as the Crown prosecutor who put serial killer Clifford Olson away, and now an appeal court judge. Derrickson’s suit jacket had a conspicuous bulge as he took the stand each day. He was packing a semi-automatic pistol, having demanded and received a carry permit

after a brutal attempt on his life. The hit man, an excop, was hired by people who didn’t like the bottom-line way Derrickson ran Westbank’s lease-hold mobile home parks. He showed up at Derrickson’s home one day and tried to beat him to death with a metal bar. Badly injured, Derrickson made it to his gun cabinet and shot his assailant, who survived to go to prison. Derrickson testified that his approach to the Indian Affairs bureaucracy
was simple. He did business, and if they didn’t like it, they could tell him. Reserve land can’t be sold, so he leased it, offering people a low-cost way to enjoy the sunny Okanagan. His business plan was also simple. Drive to California and see what they’re doing. Drive back and do it in B.C. A 2007 profile of Derrickson by Greg Fjetland in <I>Canadian Business</I> magazine describes how he came by his approach to Ottawa. He grew up “dirt poor, living in a tar paper shack.” His family name was Tousawasket, until the local Indian Agent drew an Anglo name out of a hat. He and his brother were the first aboriginal kids to attend public school in Kelowna. Racist bullying drove his parents to move him to a residential school in Washington State. He dropped out in
Grade 9, toiled on farms, learned to weld, and worked his way into ranching, real estate and politics. He never gave up or backed down, ever. The Hall commission and all previous government probes concluded that he did nothing wrong. Derrickson sued his local accusers and won, and Ottawa began to change its racist, paternalistic ways. Which brings us back to today. Derrickson’s pioneering work is still changing the Indian Act for the better. This effort is under dishonest attack from people whose legacy is mainly incompetence and failure. Protesters demand more unearned public subsidy, and a petulant soup-only strike is celebrated as an act of bravery. Choose your own hero. I’ve chosen mine.

On Monday, he sent his most direct missive yet on the topic: “maybe im hosting and performing on SNL...maybe. :)”

Letters to the editor
Many benefits to keeping RSS
My husband and I both graduated from Rossland Secondary in 1998. After 10 years away for schooling and work experience, we were fortunate to be able to return to the area. We strongly support keeping K-12 in Rossland both because the population is growing and because it is important for all the children in the TrailRossland region to have options in their schooling. When we attended high school in the mid 1990s, most of our class considered it to be highly unlikely that we would be able to return to the area. Our region had witnessed more than a decade of layoffs at Teck, and there were not many other significant options for work. The local employment situation has now changed enormously. Rossland had over 8 per cent growth in the last census and more than half of our graduation class has been able to return to the area. With the strong educational grounding we received at RSS we now have degrees and trade qualifications under our
belts. We work for Teck, Fortis, AMEC, KBRH, local government and run our own businesses. Most of these employers have a large portion of workers retiring in the next 5 to 10 years creating even more opportunities for young families to return or move to the area. We anticipate the same high quality local schooling will be available to all our children so they will also be able to return to and give back to our community in the future. Most importantly, having two high schools benefits not only those who live in Rossland but the whole local community of Trail, Warfield and Fruitvale. While we were attending high school many students travelled from as far away as Fruitvale to attend RSS. Children now come from as far away as Castlegar to attend the culinary program. As far back as my uncle, Donald Delich, in the 1960s, students from Rossland have also benefitted from attending high school at JL Crowe. High school can be a dif-
ficult time for some children and having a second physical option is very important. We currently have two excellent high schools offering different specialties and learning climates. This enables all of our children to learn in a secure environment, and allows for specialization and competition among the schools. We commend the work that has been done on all sides to provide educational opportunities on tight budgets. It does make sense to work in smaller facilities for the short term demographic dip (K-12 in one building), but we must also maintain the current facilities for when the population growth (currently children age seven and under) reaches the age when they will be needed again. Our community is so fortunate to be growing again. Let’s work with our present reality but also look ahead and be prepared for the next 5-10 years. Mary Austin Rossland
Canada to decide on Mali mission
An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press The first military decision Canada will make in 2013 won’t be about military procurements or the challenges of recruitment and retention in the post-Afghan period, but whether to participate in an international mission in Mali, a country few people could even find on a map. The best-known city in the west African country is Timbuktu, which most Canadians know only as a metaphor for a land that is distant, remote and unknown. But then, few Canadians knew much about Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia and a long list of other Timbuktus that have become the focus of western military interests over the last 10 to 15 years. The government of Mali is currently facing a threat from Islamist insurgents who are aligned with al-Qaida, the radical organization founded by Osama bin Laden and committed to narrow and distorted interpretations of Islamic law, much like the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The insurgents are seeking independence for an area of northern Mali, which they dominate today. Like the Taliban in Afghanistan, they have destroyed several world heritage sites and beaten women for not covering up. The African Union has
agreed to deploy about 3,500 soldiers to help the Mali government defeat the insurgency, while the European Union has pledged to send 250 soldiers in a training role. Canada may also be asked to participate and Defence Minister Peter McKay recently confirmed he is considering a training operation, but Canada also could contribute some military equipment, which it has done in the past in Mali. Canada’s special forces have provided training to Mali’s military in the past, according to various reports, although details are scarce. If the United Nations requests Canada’s assistance, the country should respond favourably. Canada has a long association with Mali, providing both civilian and military aid to the country for the last 50 years. The Mali government is hardly a model of democratic governance today, but it has friendly relations with the West and operated as a constitutional democracy until the recent troubles sparked a coup by military officers, who are believed to wield most of the power. The question before Canada and the West is not whether Mali’s leaders are good and moral men by western standards, but whether the alternative is much worse. The United Nations, moreover, an organization never known for taking bold actions
in messy situations, has approved direct military intervention by the African Union to defeat the insurgents, and the EU has decided to send trainers. If Canada was to get involved, it would need to make clear to the Mali government that the country’s support is not unqualified, particularly when it comes to basic human rights. For 45 years after the Second World War, Canada’s military engaged in peacekeeping operations and trained to defeat Soviet tanks in a European battlefield. The strategic terrain, however, has shifted and the military is more likely today to be called on to engage in small, irregular operations in failed or failing states rather than large traditional battles. The situation in Mali is one example of the kind of military challenge Canada will increasingly be asked to meet in the future. Every operation should be judged on its own merits, but Mali meets the criteria for Canada’s support. It’s a friendly country with historic ties to Canada facing a threat from an offensive organization that is also a sworn enemy of the West. It is simplistic to reduce the world’s antagonists to white hats and black hats, but Canada should still be able to recognize its interests in the murky, grey areas that characterize today’s battlegrounds.

Turning point for Smokies BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
The Trail Smoke Eaters next five games could be the most pivotal in its efforts to make the playoffs this season. The Smokies are coming off a pair of 6-3 losses to Surrey and Merrit on the weekend, and will play five games in a row against interdivisional rivals, including three against Salmon Arm Silverbacks, and one each against Vernon Vipers and West Kelowna Warriors. The Smokies currently lead the Vipers by two points in the Interior division and trail the Silverbacks by four points for the final playoff spot. “I still believe 100 per cent we can get in - there is no doubt in my mind, we’ve got the personnel here we just got to A: get healthy, and B: get some steady goaltending,” said Smoke Eaters coach Bill Birks. With the trade deadline looming on Thursday, the Smoke Eaters may be looking for another veteran defenceman as it sprints for the finish, but with the divisions so tight, good players may prove a difficult commodity. “There’s lots of calls in and out . . . but everything is so tight, and the stuff that is out there they want everything from you-know-what to my kid – it’s ridiculous.” Despite an extended break, the Smokies are still hobbled by injury as five regulars did not dress for the match against the Centennials on Saturday, including top scorers Brent Baltus and Garrett McMullen. Baltus won’t play against Vernon Wednesday but McMullen should be back in the lineup. Bennett Hambrook and Shane Poulsen are questionable, and after an ongoing injury problem, Bryce Knapp is done
for the season, says Birks. “It was nothing major, it wasn’t a dirty play, he just got hit,” says Birks. Tied in both games heading into the third, the Smokies gave up four third period goals to Surrey Friday, and three to Merritt Saturday to start the New Year on a sour note. Merritt was fresh off a big 4-2 win over the Penticton Vees on Friday, and their momentum carried them to victory against Trail the next night. The Cent’s Richard Sabourin broke a 3-3 tie nine minutes into the third period to count the winning goal as the Centennials outshot the Smokies 30-23 in an important inter-divisional game. Sam Johnson started the scoring for Merritt, but the Smokies would reply when Scott Davidson deflected a Djordje Leposavic shot past Cent’s goalie Tyler Steele. Trail then took a 2-1 lead on Luke Sandler’s 16th of the season, but Merritt tied it on a Derek Huisman goal and grabbed a 3-2 lead late in the first when Jeff Wight beat goalie Lyndon Stanwood. Trail worked hard in the middle frame and Sandler would be rewarded again as he banged in his second of the night to tie the game at three. But Merritt dominated in the third period outshooting the Smokies 10-5 and adding insurance markers from Sebastian Pare and Huisman. Sandler had a three-point night for the Smoke Eaters with two goals and an assist. The Smoke Eaters travel to Vernon on Wednesday for a game against the Vipers before returning to Trail for games against Salmon Arm Friday and West Kelowna Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Cominco Arena.
FROM PAGE 1 The 19-year-old Trail native was issued a 30-game suspension effective Dec. 6, as per league rules, for leaving the Smoke Eaters, and Jones was hoping to have him in the lineup for Saturday and Sunday games in Beaver Valley. The bone of contention arises from the exact date the suspension ended. Jones believes that 30 days ended at midnight on the Friday Jan. 4 – by virtue of December having 31 days - while Birks insists it was midnight on Saturday, Jan. 5. “Let’s look at what the real issue is here before we address the fact that the Smoke Eaters are trying to deflect from the main issue,” said Jones. “The issue is suspending kids for not wanting to play for the Smoke Eaters. Ryan served his 30 day suspension and deserved to be able to play on Saturday and Sunday. For spite, they refused to simply push a button on a computer and made this suspension go for two games longer.” A heated conversation led to Jones and some of his players protesting what they perceived as a delay in Edwards’ release by standing in front of the Smoke Eaters’ bus as it attempted to leave the Cominco parking lot. “They were unhappy with the suspension to the Edwards boy,” said Smoke Eater president Tom Gawryletz. “And we had told him he was going to be suspended for a minimum of 30 days which is our league guidelines, and that date was up midnight on Saturday, and they wanted him to play Saturday night and we said, ‘No.” A matter of 24 hours has become the tipping point, but the dissension between the teams has built steadily over the years. The Edwards debacle may be the final straw that breaks the back of any future relationship between the two teams. “In our league we have a coaching committee that recommended to the board of directors that we institute a suspension for any boy that leaves the team or refuses to report in a trade, and unfortunately Ryan wasn’t the first boy . . . it’s just unfortunate that he was a local boy,” said Gawryletz. “It’s not a personal thing on our part, we’re
just following the rules.” The Smokies were particularly concerned about the danger to the Nitehawks players who stood in front of the bus as it went to pull away, however, Jones says there was no danger to his players whatsoever, and wondered what the bus was doing pulling away with people in front of it. The Smoke Eater board sent letters of complaint to BC Hockey, the KIJHL, the president of the Nitehawks, and the BCHL in response to the action. “To jeapordize kids lives like that is total stupidity, I don’t care who you are,” Gawryletz added. The suspension issued to the 19-year-old Edwards seemed severe to many, particularly the Nitehawks’ GM and coach, who had encouraged Edwards to play for the Smokies this season, but does not blame the player for having a change of heart. “Why suspend a kid if he is not wanting to play?” asks Jones. “If he wants to try to get to another team in the BCHL then that is a different story, but . . . if these players want to move down a league why should they be suspended?” Despite his actions in the heat of the moment, Jones is unapologetic for the protest. “For us it’s a statement of unity, that we weren’t happy with the way Ryan was treated by the B.C. Hockey League,” said Jones. “The rules about the suspension are foggy and unclear. I asked for clarification and John Grisdale (BCHL commissioner) was very difficult to talk to, would not give great details as to what happens and goes on . . . I went through as much red tape as possible and to me it was very clear the 30 days was up on Friday, Jan. 4.” Birks issued Edwards’ release Sunday morning at 10:03 a.m. Edwards should be processed Monday leaving him free to join the Nitehawks for the upcoming weekend. “We were just following the rules, and maybe we should have been a little more lenient because he was a local kid,” said Gawryletz. “But I’m telling you when you’ve lost as many kids as we have and the frustrating part is the way they walk out. They think they run the league, they can go wherever they want . . . the inmates are running the asylum.”

SPORTS NHL
Extended break unnecessary
THE CANADIAN PRESS PITTSBURGH - Sidney Crosby says the prolonged NHL labour negotiations could have ended a month ago with what essentially was the same agreement that was reached over the weekend. Crosby, long considered the face of the NHL, became the most visible face for the players during an early December negotiating session in New York in which some of the league’s moderate owners, including the Penguins’ Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle, tried to break an impasse and reach a deal. But just when it appeared significant progress had been made and an agreement might be imminent, negotiations were halted. That impasse disheartened the Penguins’ star, who was eager to play again after missing much of the previous two seasons dealing with multiple concussion layoffs. Now that a deal is finally done, Crosby wonders why the extra month was needed. “It’s pretty close to what was there in New York.,” Crosby said Monday after about a
dozen Penguins practised on their own. “There’s no great explanation for it. It’s negotiations and, unfortunately, that’s the way it goes. It’s just an ugly thing to go through and I wouldn’t recommend having to go through that again. It’s difficult.” Penguins forward Craig Adams, extensively involved in the talks, backed Crosby’s contention that the agreement took far longer to be completed than was necessary. “Even though that week in New York ended badly, we still made a lot of progress, so I agree with Sid,” Adams said. “That probably ended up laying the groundwork for what was the deal. And, yeah, it’s frustrating we didn’t get it done then and we could have taken four to five weeks off this lockout. But for whatever reason it didn’t happen then, and here we are now.” Crosby said that breakdown was one of the low points of a career he is understandably impatient to resume. Because of concussion issues, he missed the entire second half of the 2010-11 season and another
60 games last season. In both seasons, the Penguins were ousted in the first round of the playoffs. “New York was pretty bad,” Crosby said. “I felt like we had had made a lot of progress over those few days and to have that announcement that the deal was off the table after those long days and what you thought was progress, that was pretty discouraging. That followed by not a lot of talk, it didn’t look too good right at that moment. But that’s part of the roller coaster of this whole process.” Now that there will be games again, Crosby and Penguins costar Evgeni Malkin - on the ice together minimally for two years - are healthy and ready to go for a team that is expected to be a prime Stanley Cup favourite. With a shortened season awaiting them, Crosby said it is imperative to get off to a good start. “We have to make sure we’re executing pretty good right off the start,” said Crosby, who had eight goals and 29 assists in 22 games last season.

The Trail Gymnastic Club’s head coach Chris Buccini will be sorely missed by friends, family, the club and the Greater Trail community as the long time volunteer and coach passed away last week.
A difficult time for Trail club BY TIMES STAFF The community of Trail and it’s gymnastics club suffered a tragic loss last week when long time coach and organizer Chris Buccini passed away. The club was celebrating its 51st year this year and Buccini has been the heart and soul of the club as its coach and director for over 30 years. While Buccini has been involved in many sports, his passion for the Trail Gymnastics Club superseded that of his other endeavours when he took over from Alex Ross in 1982. Buccini tirelessly committed countless hours to the club, watching it grow and develop over the years,
TRAIL COMMERCIAL HOCKEY LEAGUE
Re/Max retains advantage
BY TIMES STAFF The Trail Commercial Hockey League returned to the ice shortly after Christmas, with some teams still nursing the affects of the holiday season. Allstar Maintenance and Arlington skated to a 3-3 draw on the same night the cellar-dwelling Firebird scorched league-leading Re/Max 6-1, thanks to a two goal and two assist performance from the inscrutable Eric Hill. Three nights later, Re/Max returned to form with an 11-4 pasting of Arlington, while the
Allstars pummeled Firebird 10-1 to move within two points of second place and idle OK Tire. Graham Proulx once again led the onslaught for Re/Max scoring four times and adding two helpers, while Dave Eccles had a big five-point night on two goals and three assists. Re/Max’s Gabe Gaudet also pitched in with a pair of goals and a helper, while Daryl Zol netted a hat trick for the Big A in the loss. Meanwhile, the Allstars got a hat trick from Ryan Jenner and a pair each from Kelly Sidoni and Layne Stopanski in the 10-1 drubbing of Firebird. The TCHL hits the ice this week with Allstar facing Firebird at 7:15 Thursday and the Arlington taking on OK Tire at 8:30 p.m. at the Cominco Arena.

and producing a number of regional and provincial champions. Over 3,000 gymnasts have been coached by Buccini, first at the Tadanac Hall and since 1990 at the Greater Trail Community Centre. The Trail club is also one of the longest running gymnastics clubs in B.C. In 2009 Buccini was awarded the Gymnastics B.C. Member of Distinction Award and in 2010, the B.C. Sports Hero award from Sports B.C. “I’ve been doing this for a long time,” Buccini told the Times upon accepting the Distinction Award. “As far as I’m concerned they can call it a Member of Extinction Award because I’ve been around for so long.” Buccini’s dedication to the sport and his students is unparal-
leled. He was a member of the Gymnastics B.C. board of directors for 19 years and spent several more years on the zone committee. He settled regional disputes between clubs and took on the powerful Lower Mainland directors to earn more recognition and funding for clubs outside Vancouver’s immediate region. But he was happiest in the gym, teaching his young proteges. “I do this because I love to do this,” Buccini told the Times in a recent interview. “I feel satisfaction when I see a preschooler learn to do a cartwheel. It’s just a silly little thing. The satisfaction I get from seeing these kids progress from level to level outstrips anything else.” A memorial service will be announced at a later date.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - It took Leatherface and his chainsaw to chase tiny hobbit Bilbo Baggins out of the top spot at the box office. Lionsgate’s horror sequel “Texas Chainsaw 3-D” debuted at No. 1 with $23 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The movie picks up where 1974’s “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” left off, with masked killer Leatherface on the loose again. Quentin Tarantino’s revenge saga “Django Unchained” held on at No. 2 for a secondstraight weekend with $20.1 million. The release raised its domestic total to $106.4 million. After three weekends at No. 1, part one of Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit” trilogy slipped to third with $17.5 million. That lifts the domestic haul to $263.8 million for “The Hobbit,” the Warner Bros. blockbuster that also has topped $500 million overseas to raise its worldwide total to about $800 million. Also passing the $100 million mark over the weekend was Universal’s musical “Les Miserables,” which finished at No. 4 with $16.1 million, pushing its domestic total to $103.6 million.

New role for Fox THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PASADENA, Calif. - On his upcoming NBC comedy, Michael J. Fox will play a newscaster who quits his job because of Parkinson’s Disease but returns to work after a new medical regimen helps him control many of his symptoms. NBC said Sunday the comedy closely tracks many aspects of the Canadian actor’s personal life and tries to have fun with an image that has left him an object of pity-fuelled admiration. The show doesn’t have a title yet. NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke says it will premiere in September. Although the schedule isn’t set yet, NBC is aiming to put it on Thursday night, where “30 Rock” and “The Office” are leaving in the next few months.

needed time to get past the shock. Here’s the problem. She has three other children who are all adults now, and she doesn’t want them to know about me. She told her late husband, but she spent years fearing I would contact her. I do not agree with her position. I feel the kids have a right to know they have a halfsister. Your thoughts? -- Conflicted Adoptee from Kansas Dear Conflicted: We agree, but try to see this from your bio mom’s perspective. She believes knowing that she had a child before she married the children’s father would dev-
people thinking? I would be very concerned about stretching a doctor’s exhaustion to the brink of something serious happening. What can I do? -- Worried Mom Dear Worried: In order to prevent fatigue-related medical errors, rules were put into effect limiting residents’ work hours. Last year, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education updated those rules. At the moment, first-year residents cannot work longer than 16 hours straight. But more advanced residents can work up to 24 hours straight. If your son is past his first-year residency, his hospital is doing nothing unusual. We know you don’t want your son to be overextended, but you need to let him handle this however he sees fit. Dear Annie: “Sickened on the East Coast” was in a dispute with her child’s middle school over their sum-
mer reading list. I was in a similar situation several years ago with my son’s high school. I read the recommended book along with my son so we could discuss it. I felt the book was inappropriate for a number of reasons.
At the beginning of the school year, I requested a meeting with the head of the English department. I explained my objections and also provided alternate titles for future summer reading assignments, pointing
out life lessons that could be taught with my suggested titles. I think most people are willing to listen to our complaints when we also provide a solution. -- A Mom

astate them and change how they feel about her. Instead of pressuring her, help her see that her children might be surprised, but not necessarily upset. And they may be angry if she withholds this information and they find out later. Encourage her to see contact between you in a more positive light. Dear Annie: My son is a dedicated anesthesiologist. He took a job at a small hospital in a small town, hoping to enjoy a reasonable life. The pay isn’t as good as that of a large hospital in a big city, but he was willing to take a cut in order to work there. I realize that the hours are never good for his type of specialty, but I am so upset that the people at this hospital expect him to put in 24-hour days with little sleep. I thought the lack of sleep for doctors was studied and determined to be unacceptable and harmful to patients. What on earth are these

Dear Annie: I am a 50-year-old adoptee. About 10 years ago, I was finally able to locate my biological mother. It took me months to work up the nerve to phone her, and the call was a nightmare. Her first words were, “How did you find me? I was told nobody would ever know.” That was followed by, “What do you want from me?” I explained that the laws in Kansas had changed, and they released the information. I told her I didn’t want anything except family medical history and some knowledge of where I came from. I told her I understood those were different times and I hold no ill will because I’ve had a wonderful life with adoptive parents who love me. I cried for three days after that call. I was completely crushed. Four days later, she called back, quite apologetic, and we talked for more than an hour. Obviously, she

sympathetic to each other. It’s a lovely day to begin a new relationship. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A subtle flirtation with a co-worker could be exciting today. Or perhaps you are just sympathetic to the needs of others and willing to lend a sympathetic ear? VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Romance will flourish in its most idealistic form today. New lovers will feel fated and star-crossed. This can be a very creative day for artists and an enjoyable day for all social occasions.

siblings, relatives and neighbors will be warm and possibly, quite personal. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) If shopping today, you will be tempted to buy luxurious, elegant items.
