Public playing safe in backcountry, says local SAR president
ON THE MOVE
Avalanche danger rated high for Kootenay region BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
Avalanche conditions are worsening as the advent of spring throws a tempest into the backcountry tea pot but people are getting the message and are staying safe, says the president of the region’s backcountry rescue team. Rod Medland of the South Columbia Search and Rescue team said even though the Canadian Avalanche Centre (CAC) is issuing a high danger rating for the backcountry alpine people are already being cautious in the backcountry. The avalanche danger is rated as considerable below the treeline as well, as wet weather has arrived to soak the snow. But Medland said people are getting the message and are doing the due diligence to ensure if they venture into the great white yonder they do it armed with knowledge and information. He pointed to the average volume of calls for rescues this year— four—as testament to how people
are more prepared in what has been a tumultuous year for backcountry travel and avalanches. “But a lot of people are knowing this. They are taking their avalanche training and this is what they are being taught, to read the snow. They are learning what is safe and what is not. These course are paying off,” he said. The year in the backcountry has been characterized by varied conditions, said Medland. On weekends where storms have been forecast to come in and the warnings were issued people played it smart, said Medland. “Skiers and sledders have been well behaved. A lot of the sledders in the area are playing it safe, riding roads, trails and areas that aren’t avalanche danger areas,” he said, noting the four rescues were of snowboarders. Precipitation and warm temperatures are expected in the days to come creating new storm slabs at all elevations and new wind slabs in the alpine and treeline. The potential avalanche size is expected to increase as more snow piles up, warned the CAC. See INFORMATION, Page 3
Program aimed to support those battling chronic disease BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

Vern Sofokleus moved in furniture for a friend to an upstairs apartment on Rossland Avenue when the snow and rain abated earlier this week.
A new $2.2 million program to help people with chronic disease issues is taking it outside of hospital walls of the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital. The community-based program is being expanded in Trail and is intended to improve patients’ quality of life and help keep them out of the hospital. The Interior Health Authority (IHA) is directing $2.2 million for a program called BreatheWell over the next three years, with an additional respiratory therapist expected
to be hired in the city to work with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in the community, to manage symptoms and help avoid unnecessary hospital visits. There will also be expanded rehabilitation efforts and an educational component for COPD, a chronic condition that obstructs air flow in a patient’s lungs. The unpredictable and serious nature of “flare-ups”—when symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, and mucous production rapidly onset—means many COPD See TEAMS, Page 3

What causes your brakes to squeak?
T
he front brakes on my SUV squeak. In the winter I forget about it because whoever engineered my SUV did an excellent job of soundproofing the interior. When the windows are rolled up squeaks disappear. Spring is on its way now and driving with rolled down windows has already reminded me that my brakes have not miraculously silenced themselves. I will live with my squeaky brakes. Should you? I don’t know. In my case, I know my brake system is in good condition
(squeaks and all). My brake pad choice (for heavy duty towing) caused my squeal. In your case, if they just started squeaking, it is time to get them inspected. All squeaks are not created equal. A squeak or squeal is a high frequency vibration that humans can hear. In brake systems the range of high frequency squeal is approximately 4 000 to 16 000 cycles per second. Both drum brake systems and disc brake systems will squeal but disc brakes are more often the source. Many disc brake sys-

tems have brake pads that have squealers on them. A squealer is designed to tell the driver that the brakes are nearly worn out and it is time to replace them. This squealer is just a simple piece of thin steel that starts to rub on the brake rotor when the brake pad reaches a certain thickness. That thin piece of metal makes a shrill squeal when it comes in contact with the rotor. Ignore the squealer squeal long enough and that noise will go away because once the brake material is gone there will be a much more severe rough growling noise indicating two metal surfaces are now providing
your braking power and this braking power is severely compromised. Left long enough and you will quickly increase the cost of brake repair while endangering your life and others’. If your vehicle does not use squealers as brake pad wear indicators, your braking performance is excellent and you still have plenty of brake pad material left then your squeal is similar to mine. It is an annoyance but alas, it is not endearing you with your neighbours. This high frequency squeal involves the two major components of a disc brake system, the brake pad and the brake rotor. The brake pad when rubbing on the brake rotor is creating a vibration (squeal) that happens to be at a frequency we hear and find annoying. Getting rid of this vibration (squeal) is sometimes tricky and sometimes expensive. It is very likely that the first set of brakes that your vehicle came
with did not squeal. The engineers that designed the system had just that goal in mind. Build a brake system that stops well and doesn’t make bad noises. Therefore when it comes time to choose new brake components when the others have worn out it is very likely that using the same or similar brake components would be the logical place to start. This is sometimes harder to do then you might think. Your vehicle’s original equipment parts might be hard to find and/or expensive. The details of performing a brake job can also greatly influence the end result. There are many steps to performing a quality brake job that are left out in this era of doing things fast and cheap. Attention to detail is important. Trail’s Ron Nutini is a licensed automotive technician and graduate of mechanical engineering from UBC. E-mail: nutechauto@telus.net

Information put to use
FROM PAGE 1 “The 80-centimetre deep surface hoar/sun crust weak layer could be triggered by the forecasted warm temperatures and precipitation,” the report read. The forecasted precipitation and warm temperatures add a significant load to the snowpack (possibly from 30 to 50 millimetres in water equivalent until today). There was a report of some sluffing of snow in steep terrain up to size 1.5 on shaded aspects of the alpine, the report stated. Gathering the avalanche information is the first step, said Medland. The second step is what
people do with it. “If they don’t pay attention, there’s no point,” he said. “But people are paying attention, they are going to the website, they are doing studies.” According to a joint press release from the BC Coroners Service, the CAC and Emergency Management BC (EMBC), avalanche awareness has been improving as a higher proportion of backcountry users are carrying essential avalanche safety equipment—transceivers, shovels and probes. Avalanche airbag packs are highly effective when worn/ deployed properly (including the leg-strap).
FROM PAGE 1 patients often must use hospital emergency departments. Proactive management of people with COPD by communitybased, multi-disciplinary teams— including respiratory therapists, physiotherapists, general practitioners and specialists—will result in fewer and shorter hospital admissions, said the IHA’s program director of Primary Health Care and Chronic Disease Management, Darlene Arsenault. “Most importantly, by working together these teams will help
improve the COPD patient’s quality of life,” she said in a statement. Trail was one of several communities within Interior Health to receive funding for the program. “It was selected based on a number of factors, including the prevalence of related conditions and the demand for additional community-based supports, said IHA board chair Norman Embree, in a release. “Meeting chronic disease ... care needs outside of the hospital setting is, in many cases, more effective and efficient,” he said.

Navigational Aids: Level of Service Review RSS
The Canadian Coast Guard is currently reviewing the aids to navigation on the Columbia River. The review will cover all buoys and beacons managed by the Canadian Coast Guard between the Hugh Keenleyside Dam near Castlegar south to Waneta near the United States border in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia. The objective of the review is to analyze the existing aids to navigation to identify their usefulness to boaters and to make recommendations on any shortfalls, redundancies or unnecessary aids on the river. The participation of Columbia River users would be greatly appreciated and will help to ensure that any adjustments made to these aids to navigation will reflect the requirements of today’s users.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government and the B.C Medical Association are offering doctors a $100,000 bonus to relocate to selected rural communities for three years. The latest incentive is on top of a program to forgive student debt for doctors who will set up a medical practice outside urban areas, and other inducements to graduating and foreign doctors to venture outside large cities. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid and BCMA president Dr. Shelley Ross announced the program Wednesday. Both said it was a difficult task picking the most needy locations, and expressed hope that it is successful and can be expanded. In the Interior Health Authority, Princeton and Clearwater are funded for two general practitioners each, and Nakusp gets one. Cranbrook is funded for one anesthesiologist. In Northern Health, the fund will be offered for one general practitioner each in Burns Lake, Chetwynd, Hazelton, Kitimat and Tumbler Ridge. Quesnel is funded

In the Vancouver Island Health Authority, Port Hardy is funded for two general practitioners and Port Alberni gets the only emergency physician provided for in the program. Tofino and Galiano Island are funded for one general practitioner each. MacDiarmid, a family doctor in Rossland before going into politics, said these won’t be typical officebased medical practices. The GP positions will involve hospital and residential care, supported by a relief physician program so doctors can take some weekends and vacations. Some involve “outreach” visits to even more remote communities, including aboriginal villages. The program is funded out of the $10 million rural recruitment budget agreed to in the latest fee agreement with the BCMA. B.C. spends about $100 million on these programs, including one to provide continuing medical training for remote doctors.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina was elected pope Wednesday, becoming the first pontiff from the Americas and the first from outside Europe in more than a millennium. He chose the name Francis, associating himself with the humble 13th-century Italian preacher who lived a life of poverty. Looking stunned, Francis shyly waved to the crowd of tens of thousands of people who gathered in St. Peter’s Square for the announcement. In choosing a 76-year-old pope, the cardinals clearly decided that they didn’t need a vigorous, young pope who would reign for decades but rather a seasoned, popular and humble pastor who would draw followers to the faith. The cardinal electors overcame deep divisions to select

Distracted driving dangers need to be addressed
E
very weekday morning there’s a familiar dance I do on my walk to work downtown. As I approach any intersection I wait for the light and then I do a little stutter step before I proceed at a regular pace once I’m 100 per cent sure any turning vehicles have spotted me. Sounds simple enough except in these days of cellphones. It used to be I just had to be wary of the odd guy trying to get a few bites out of his cheeseburger while navigating a turn with his free hand, which was usually cradling a large soft drink. But people tend to be cautious while driving if they think some food is going to drip down their shirt. On top of that I often noticed there was at least a sense of apprehension as they pulled into traffic. Perhaps it’s my years of riding a motorcycle but I’m always looking for some type of eye contact with any turning vehicle just to make sure we both see each other. That has translated into my daily walk to work. Too often when cars turn drivers watch more for traffic and the quick merge rather than watch for pedestrians.
That’s why I try to make sure drivers have some kind of visual contact with me before I step in front of their vehicle. And that’s what scares me about cellphones. Too often I’ve noticed drivers talking on their cellphones and simply staring right through whatever is in front of them. A few of my near misses involved inattentive drivers but more often than not, it’s someone on a cellphone trying to carry on a conversation, merge into traffic and watch for pedestrians – in that order of importance. I was even berated by a driver you didn’t notice me while turning, slammed on the brakes, then looked up to see the “Don’t Walk” signal flashing. Anyone who has tried crossing Victoria St., knows how quickly the sign switches from “Walk” to “Don’t Walk.” You would have to be Olympic 100m champion Usain Bolt to get across the intersection before the sign switches. Nevertheless, I was guilty according to this vocal driver who never once gave thought that she just about ran me over. Oh yeah, I don’t think she ended her phone conversation either. Just this week in my walks to work I’ve watched

one person with their phone just below the steering well so they could carry on a conversation undetected. Another was oblivious to everyone else as they rolled through a right-hand turn on a red light that forced a car and a pedestrian, with the right of way, to stop to avoid a collision. It’s almost a daily occurrence. And I’m not the only one who notices there’s a problem. This week, Victoria Police Chief Jamie Graham suggested tougher rules to stop talking and texting but Attorney General Shirley Bond shot them down. He said over 6,000 tickets were issued in the province in February. The West Kootenay Traffic Services handed out 55 charges in the month while the Greater Trail force issued 15 tickets dur-
ing a two-day blitz. Graham, who is also the chair of the B.C. Association of Police Chiefs’ traffic safety committee, proposed taking the phone away for 24 hours for first offence and several days for repeat offences. He also suggested fines should be doubled to line up with any other traffic safety violation. The idea of increasing fines or seizing devices wouldn’t have the desired effect said Bond. I guess the mere thought of taking away someone’s mobile device would constitute cruel and unusual punishment in today’s Tweetdom. However, the government used that same strategy behind its vaunted drinking and driving laws which increased fines and gave police the power to seize devices, in this case your vehicle. It didn’t bother the government that even wrongly-calibrated breathalyzers were allowing police to incorrectly enforce a law that can have serious consequences on the parties involved. But somehow Bond sees it different when it comes to texting and driving. And in a politician’s wrong-headed view on simple things, which so often
happens, she declined to do anything to stem the growing problem. As usual governments tend to be reactive instead proactive so we’ll probably have to wait until some angry mothers take up the cause, as they did so well in fighting drinking and driving, or some high-profile accident makes it into the headlines before any changes will come. Instead of seeing it as a threat to safety and welfare of other people on the highways, which they trumpet with their drinking and driving regulations, Bond likens the issue to seat belts. “It’s not unlike seat belts,” Bond told reporters. “It took a long time for people in our province to make that a normal habit.” For the record, West Kootenay Traffic Services also handed out 177 seat belt violations in February so maybe it’s Bond not getting the message. The way I see it, you don’t wear your seat belt while driving then you’ll probably be the one getting hurt. But if you talk on your phone while driving then I’ll probably be the one getting hurt.

more and engage in more aerobic and strengthening activities when the space incorporates natural elements like logs, flowers and small streams, according to research from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Despite all the obvious health benefits of spending time outside, provincial and federal governments are failing to integrate a daily dose of nature into their policies. It’s also something we as a society are failing to make a priority in the lives of our children. This inexpensive and effective way to make our lives healthier and happier should be an obvious solution. We need to make sure our neighbourhoods have green spaces where people can explore their connections with nature. We need to ask teachers and school board representatives to take students outside so that nature becomes a classroom. And we need to stop making the outdoors seem like a scary place for children by helping parents understand that the benefits of playing outside outweigh the risks. It will take public education and awareness-building as well as changes to the way we build cities and live in our communities to bring nature back into our lives. Connecting kids to nature every day needs to be a priority policy objective in any strategy for healthy children and could easily have been integrated into the recommendations from the Ontario Healthy Kids Panel. Taking our kids by the hand and spending time outside with them will have the added benefit of making us healthier and happier adults.

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA, Ont. - The federal government, which has come under fire over tougher employment insurance rules, is sweetening benefits for parents. It says it will allow individuals receiving parental benefits through EI to qualify for sickness benefits as well, starting March 24. Human Resources Minister Diane Finley says about 6,000 people may be able to access the expanded benefit. People receiving parental benefits aren’t currently able to access EI sickness benefits because they’re not considered to be otherwise available for
Friday Minister of Labour Lisa Raitt was on the defensive, calling the changes “common sense.” Raitt said the changes are “to ensure that the product is there for people when they need it most, when they lose their jobs through circumstances no fault of their own.” Under some of the new rules, those who frequently claim EI need to prove they’re actively seeking work. They’re also must accept any job within 100 kilometres of their home, as long as they’re qualified and the pay is at least 70 per cent of their previous salary.

Changes to EI rules on parental leave work. Finley says the new rule will make EI more flexible for parents, allowing them to qualify for benefits if they fall ill or are injured while on parental benefits. The change comes on the heels of a slew of controversial EI reforms the government says it’s phasing in to combat fraud. Members of the opposition and Atlantic premiers have criticized the government, saying the changes don’t make sense for workers and could devastate seasonal industries such as fishing, farming or tourism.

TRAIL COMMERCIAL HOCKEY
Re/Max faces Tire in TCHL final BY TIMES STAFF It was two very different semifinal games in the Trail Commercial League Hockey action last week, but in the end, the two top teams in the regular-season emerged and will play for the TCHL final tonight at the Cominco Arena. Top seeded OK Tire scored with a minute remaining in regulation to defeat the upstart fourth seed Firebird team 2-1, to take its semifinal series two games to one, while number two seed Re/Max blew the doors off All Star Maintenance, 10-2, to take its series. The Tires Jeremy Webber scored the winner with exactly 60 ticks left on the clock when he converted a nice passing play from Shaun Venturini and Mike Fudge, firing it by goaltender Mike Kooznetsoff who was brilliant between the pipes for the Bird. Firebird shocked the Tire with a 3-0 win in Game 2 to tie the series and force the third and deciding game. The Tire’s Darrin Williams started the scoring, after the Bird’s Eric Hill took a roughing penalty at 7:11 of the first. The deceptively mobile veteran defenceman Kevin Chartres started the play, passing to Venturini who sau-

cered a gift to Williams who made no mistake in beating Kooznetsoff. Despite power-play chances by both teams through the second, the game would remain tied thanks to the stellar goaltending from former Beaver Valley Nitehawk Rocky Dickson and Castlegar native Kooznetsoff. It would stay that way until late in the third when with three minutes remaining Travis Drake finally solved Dickson, ruining the shutout on a pretty setup from Mike Boisvert and Gord Aiken, before Webber would end it with his last-minute marker. In the other matchup between Re/Max and Allstar Maintenance, the realtors ran away with it in the second, downing Allstar 10-2 to advance to the final against OK Tire. Defenceman Luke Russell had a massive night for Re/Max scoring what proved to be the winner at 7:44 of the opening frame. The nimble blue liner took a Paul Barclay offering and fired it by Allstar goalie Tim Wiley to make it 3-1. Russell ended the night with a hat trick and an assist to lead the realtors charge to the final, where they will look to exact some revenge on the Tire for taking their league title in the final month of the season.

Bookkeeping Clients Welcome SMOKE EATERS
Birks back behind bench
BY TIMES STAFF The Trail Smoke Eaters announced Wednesday that head coach and general manager Bill Birks has accepted a contract extension and will return to guide the Smokies in the 2013-14 BCHL campaign. Birks joined the Smoke Eaters as an assistant coach for the 2010-11 season and was named head coach and general manager in May of 2011. This past season, Birks led the Smoke Eaters to a 26-280-2 overall record, more than doubling the previous season’s win total. Trail’s goal differential also improved BILL BIRKS over 2011-12 by a figure of +86 and three Smoke Eaters (Scott Davidson, Brent Baltus and Garrett McMullen) earned NCAA Division I scholarships. “We’re happy to have Bill carry on in his role as our head coach and general manager,” said Smoke Eaters president Tom Gawryletz in a release. “We were one of the hardest-working teams in the BCHL this season and I’m excited about the core of players eligible to return under Bill’s guidance next year.” The Smokies coach has little time to dwell on the new contract as he prepares for next season. “The biggest focus right now is spring camp coming up at the end of the month,” said Birks. “We are about two-thirds full right now so hope to find some kids, earmark some kids. It never stops. I’ll take a few days off to recharge and then away we go again.” Spring camp goes Mar. 30-31 at the Cominco Arena.

You are a full partner in this marriage and are entitled to see the checkbook, the bank statements and any other financial business that concerns you.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “A Good Man Gone Celibate,” who has given up relationships because he can’t find any good women among the gold diggers, scheming manipulators, entitlement princesses, Toxic Thelmas and serial divorcees. I don’t think it’s fair to blame all women for what is on the dating sites. Most of us are not like that. I own my own home and car and love the job I’ve had for 16 years. My kids are all grown and on their own. I have little drama in my life. My girlfriends and I have been on most of these sites, and all we get are men who only want sex or those who want to marry you the first time they meet you. We are tired of this. It seems that most men don’t want to take the time to establish any kind of relationship that doesn’t end

tact. I have been off and on these sites for six years. I, too, get frustrated and disgusted, but I will walk away for a while and come back with a different attitude. Also, Annie, if he takes your advice and chooses more wisely,
he may find what he’s looking for. -- Lady with Morals Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net.

My daughter is now 6 years old, and I want to tell her the truth. Will I be doing more harm than good? -- Perplexed in Poughkeepsie Dear Perplexed: If the little girl has a solid and loving relationship with the man she believes is her father, your sudden assumption of that role might be traumatizing for her. You also will be responsible for child support. However, if “everyone else” knows, it’s only a matter of time before the current boyfriend and your child learn the truth. It is better if this information comes from her mother in a gentle and compassionate way, so Mom’s support is crucial in making this easier. Please ask the mother to come with you for mediation to see whether you can work on being a part of the child’s life. You can discuss it with your clergyperson or a trained counselor, or contact your local

Dear Annie: What do you do when your husband controls the money? I’m 68 years old, and for the past 10 years, “Robert” has paid the bills and has hidden the checkbook from me. Robert told me I need to pay my own bills. He has a retirement income, and he still works. I receive Social Security. I have always been thrifty, and although I have a debit card, I am only allowed to use it for necessary things like groceries. I pay for my clothes, haircuts, etc. I bought a new coat yesterday with my own money. Robert scolded me and told me to watch my spending. Robert does not see how his controlling behavior affects me.

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Friday, March 15, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This morning, someone might thwart you in financial matters. Fortunately, by this afternoon, the brakes are off and you can see new ways of earning money. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be patient with others in the morning, because people are easily critical of each other. Later in the day, look for ways to improve your appearance. Take a realistic look in the mirror. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Don’t ask for permission from a boss this morning, because the answer will be, “Talk to the hand.” Wait until later in the day. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your responsibilities related to children might be considerable this morning. Try to be organized regarding this. Later in the day, a powerful person might cause you to

change your goals. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Be patient with older family members this morning. Don’t ask for anything. This afternoon, however, you can make improvements to your job and your relationship with authority figures. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Don’t get hung up in worry mode this morning. “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but get you nowhere.” Relax. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You feel broke. (Join the club; we number millions.) Fortunately, by late afternoon you see new uses for something you own or new ways to share something. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Discussions with partners and close friends are stiff and a bit difficult this morning. Give others a wide birth. Late in the day, this same person might have excellent sugges-
tions. Who knew? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Be patient with co-workers today, and refrain from being critical. Later in the day, look for ways to improve your health or introduce reforms where you work. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a tricky day for romantic partners because doom and gloom are in the air. Be patient. As the day
wears on, a positive energy grows and things look much better. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Older relatives might discourage you. Don’t let this get you down. Later in the day, look for ways to make home improvements. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Don’t get caught up in negative thinking, because it’s paralyzing and infectious. Just be
patient, because by nightfall, you will be full of innovative ideas about how to improve something. YOU BORN TODAY You’re ambitious and hardworking. This is how you rise to a high position in any group. (Hard work pays off.) Some of you are even attracted to heights, mountaineering and such. Because you are driven, it’s important for you to clearly define your goals. People love your enthusiasm and char-
