Red Cross seeks volunteers for disaster response Open house today at 3 p.m. at Selkirk College campus

By Liz Bevan Times Staff

The Canadian Red Cross is looking for Trail volunteers for its Disaster Management Program.

Volunteers would respond to a fire, a flood, or other personal disaster, to lend a hand to those affected by the disaster. Currently, the program is recruiting some Personal Disaster Assistant Team volunteers for the area through an open house today at 3 p.m. at Trail's Selkirk College campus.

The event is for those who are interested in lending their time and expertise to the team.

There are two different categories the Red Cross covers when it comes to assisting with a local disaster: relief and recovery. Both are taught in the training courses offered to volunteers.

“One course teaches how to provide relief, which covers immediate needs after the disaster and then there is recovery, which starts three days after the event,” said Mary Nishio, a member of the Nelson Disaster Management team.

“If you think of the High River floods (in 2013), the relief part was immediately giving people shelter, warm clothing and food. After that, it is all about the recovery – helping people to start getting their life back on track. We try to provide the basics: things like a stove, a fridge – it just depends on the need of the situation.”

Nishio says a position on the Disaster Management team can fit in with anyone's experience. There is always something someone can do.

“I am 65, I am still healthy and I am a retired psychologist,” said Nishio. “I have many years of experience in many different areas. I see it as recycling my skills.

“We have doctors, retired nurses, retired EMS (workers), but you don't have to (have medical training). We also have teachers and more. It is a wide variety of people.

It is a wonderful group of all ages and experience.”

Joanne Caldecott is also a Disaster Management volunteer and joined the organization just

after the Kerr Apartment fire in Nelson in January 2011.

“It was in early 2011 when I came on board, following the Kerr Apartment Fire and the first day I was in Nelson (in 2010), the Redfish Grill burned down and I wasn't expecting a fire every other month,” she said, adding that seeing Nelson come together after the two disasters is part of what made her want to join the Red Cross as a volunteer.

“I was so impressed with the way the community rallied together and I wanted to be able to play a part in a meaningful way and it really spurred my interest.”

Caldecott says fitting the volunteer and training time into her hectic daily life is easy because of the nature of the work she does and the lesson it can teach her kids.

“For me, the Red Cross values are values that you can integrate into your daily life and as a parent, you really want to integrate those values into your children's life,” she said.

“I hope that when the time comes for my children to look into volunteer opportunities, the Red Cross is something that they would want to step into.

“I do believe in philanthropy being a key part of our lives and really encourage my kids to play a role in our community and get out there.”

Nishio says that anyone can join up and keep their work local, or travel across the country to lend a hand. For example, the Nelson team had members in High River, Alberta during the June 2013 floods.

“Our volunteers are trained to respond locally, within B.C. or even across Canada,” she said. “Some only respond to personal disasters in their own community, especially volunteers with small kids at home, but being a Red Cross volunteer lasts a lifetime. When we see someone who needs help, we step in.”

The Canadian Red Cross will be in Trail for the open house to answer questions anyone may have about joining the organization and the type of the volunteer work and training involved.

The event runs from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at 900 Helena Street in the Red Cross Room at Selkirk College's Trail campus.

Colin James returning to Trail Award-winning musician presents acoustic show at Charles Bailey Theatre in May, tickets go on sale Friday

By Times Staff Colin James will be back performing in Trail over 10 years after his last show in the Silver City.

“Up Close and Personal...The Acoustic Tour,” brings James, along with special guest Chris Caddell, to the Charles Bailey Theatre on May 8.

Over 700 concert-goers will have the chance to see James perform some of his classic hits like “Voodoo Thing,” Cadillac Baby,” and “Into the Mystic.”

The Kootenay Concert Connect is hosting the show, which was scheduled because of public pleas to add another date to James' tour.

“We had this show in Nelson and many other areas in 2013,” said Kootenay Concert Connect president and general manager F.J. Hurtak.

“I have been asked by many residents of the West Kootenay, particularly Trail and Castlegar, to bring this show back to the region as tickets sold out very quickly for the 400-seat Capitol Theatre in Nelson. The routing at the time did

FORRS gets look at range plan

By Alicia Wallace Rossland News

Friends of the Rossland Range Society (FORRS) held their annual general meeting (AGM) on Nov. 26 where they presented the approved Plan of Management (POM) for the Rossland Range Recreation Site. The site encompasses the mountainous area between Red Mountain Resort and the summit of Mt. Crowe. The terrain in the recreation site lends itself to numerous non-motorized uses in both summer and winter, comprising of alpine skiing, snowshoeing, and mountain biking amongst other activities.

Over time — 12 years in fact — it became obvious that the not-for-profit community group needed a POM. The recreation site boundary has been shrink-

ing with crucial grizzly habitat on the decline and less space for the public to play.

“The boundary has been squeezed by a local cat operator and the community feels like the area is getting pinched. It is really important we don’t lose these places,” said Les Carter who is on the FORRS board of directors.

The provincial government — Recreation Sites and Trails Branch of the Ministry of Forests — to be exact, requires a POM to designate a recreation site. Now that the POM has been adopted, the community has a designated site for outdoor leisure pursuits.

“Over the years it became apparent that something more was needed in order to provide a secure future for public

recreation in our hills… all in aid of gaining official status for our traditional playground,” the POM reads.

Those with experience in the Rossland Range estimate that recreational use of the area within the site has increased 10-fold over the past decade.

The plan aims to consolidate Surprise Hut and Eagle’s Nest Hut into a newly built shelter, located between the two existing huts.

Carter equates these huts to “a health care plan to motivate people to get out.”

These are social huts that give people a positive destination, a place to socialize and give security to new users, older people and families. These shelters are key to bringing out large numbers of the public.

Grants available to low-income earners

FROM PAGE 1 during the coming winter semester in any of the communities that we serve.”

Beginning April 1, the annual adult upgrading grants, meant to cover tuition and textbooks and incidentals like transportation and child care, will increase 33 per cent to $7.6 million.

Low-income earners will have grants available, but if the student is above the province’s income threshold, then the onus is on him or her to pay.

However. students who were previously above the allowable earnings mark (up to 10 per cent), could be eligible for a grant to cover half their tuition fees.

If the adult students pursue a dogwood diploma or upgrade classes in their respective school district, then the tuition remains free.

But that opportunity is only available in Grand Forks, meaning students elsewhere in the West Kootenay will have to pay to upgrade in other post-secondary institutions.

Nearly two-thirds of rural residents would rather pay higher user fees than see their taxes go up to pay for facilities in neighbouring municipalities, according to a new citizens’ survey.

to swim for an hour. If they’re going to charge me more based on my ID, I might not go and they’ll lose out on that revenue,” said Karla Kozakevich.

She also noted her area already contributes grant money to Penticton-based groups such as the Shatford Centre, and called for more detailed polling on what outof-town facilities her constituents actually use and what they’d be willing to pay before exploring the idea further.

Penticton Mayor Andrew Jakubeit agreed.

“The West bench already does do $25,000 for the pool and the library, but of course that’s a very old agreement, so that potentially could look at being upgraded,” he said.

Jakubeit added that he’d like to reopen talks later with directors of neighbouring RDOS areas, perhaps

in time for the 2016 budget cycle, and look for a way to maintain and ensure fairness of the current singleprice system.

“To go with higher user fees just becomes a lot more divisive and I think there’s probably ways around it, so I think we need to revisit that conversation,” he said.

Residents on the West Bench and in Naramata reported the highest quality of life among people in the eight RDOS rural areas, according to other results from the citizens’ survey.

Respondents in those two areas rated their quality of life at an average of 8.6 out of 10. The lowest average score for quality of life was a seven out of 10 recorded in Hedley and rural Keremeos.

The RDOS saw its average score dip to just six out of 10 when it asked rural residents to rate the value it provides for their tax dollars.

The survey was based on telephone polling of 400 people in April. The RDOS conducts the survey every two years.

Limits placed on diabetic tools THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - B.C. is imposing yearly limits on tools used by diabetics to test their blood sugar levels.

The Health Ministry says PharmaCare coverage of blood glucose test strips will be restricted on Jan. 1, following a similar change in Ontario in 2013.

The ministry says the change comes after research showing that people who have Type 2 diabetes and don’t use insulin can safely test their blood-sugar levels less often.

In the new year, PharmaCare will cover 200 to 400 strips a year for those patients, and up to 3,000 strips annually for patients on insulin.

The government expects it will save up to $4 million a year by regulating the test strips, starting with about $1 million in savings this fiscal year.

Health Minister Terry Lake says the money will be used to support an insulin pump program for young adults.

Monarchists blast mayor for not pledging allegiance to Queen

By Andrea Peacock Victoria News

Members of the Monarchist League of Canada are speaking out against Mayor Lisa Helps and her decision to not pledge allegiance to the Queen on inauguration day.

“The crown is the symbol in our country of law and order, of our constitution, of our rights and freedoms, and I think it’s expected that our mayor would pledge allegiance to that system,” said Bruce Hallsor, co-chair of the Victoria branch of the Monarchist League of Canada.

Hallsor said if Helps had an issue with pledging an allegiance to the Queen, she should have brought it up as a discussion beforehand.

“We just had an election. It could have been raised as an issue, and people could have had an informed vote,” said Hallsor. “If people are going to disrespect our traditions and our heritage, they should have been upfront about it during the election.”

Although he lives in Saanich, Hallsor said he knows many Monarchist League members live in Victoria and voted for Helps.

He said if they had known what was going to happen on inauguration day, it would have absolutely affected their votes.”

“Nobody has a problem with a debate and with people having different opinions, but for somebody as their first act right after an election disrespect our constitutional form of government without any articulated reason that makes sense, having not told voters that this is what they were going to do, is disappointing.”

When elected as a councillor in 2011, Helps pledged allegiance to the Queen. She said back then she hadn’t given it much thought.

“To be honest, as councillors, we were just given these things and [told] ‘do this’ basically,” said Helps.

It wasn’t until the end of the day last Wednesday, the day before the inauguration meeting, that Helps brought up the idea to the councillors of leaving out the oath of allegiance.

However, councillors Chris Coleman, Pamela Madoff, Margaret Thornton-Joe and Geoff Young said they wanted to take the pledge.

Despite the negative feedback, Helps said it was not her intention to offend or protest the monarchy.

“It’s not about being anti-monarchist or republican . . . but it’s just I think as a local elected official, we’re required to affirm an oath of office to serve our community, and I think that’s what they ceremony should be about,” said Helps. “Other councillors made other decisions and I welcome that.”

Coun. Ben Isitt was the only councillor to also not pledge allegiance to the Queen when he was elected in 2011.

“I believe in democracy, and I can’t reconcile being accountable to the people who elected me and having these other loyalties to a hereditary bloodline,” said Isitt.

“What if there was a disconnect between what the public told us and what the Queen or her representatives told us? Where would we fall? For me, since I’ve only taken one oath, it’s an easy decision. My oath is to the people.”

There’s no requirement for B.C.’s municipal councillors to swear allegiance to the Queen, and several Capital Region municipalities don’t at all, including Saanich, Esquimalt and Oak Bay.

Vets disability branch saw deep cuts: records

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Some of the biggest job cuts at Veterans Affairs in recent years have been in the disability awards branch - the division targeted in a recent auditor general’s report for taking too long to decide on the benefit claims of ex-soldiers.

Departmental performance reports stretching back to 2009 show that roughly 897 positions have been eliminated across Veterans Affairs, with 33 per cent coming out of the section that administers pensions and awards.

Those same records show the health and rehabilitation branches also took a sizable hit roughly 372 positions during the same time frame.

Commemorations, the division that celebrates past wars and maintains memorials, was reduced by 17.2 per cent, while

internal services - Prime Minister Stephen Harper described it last week as “backroom administration” - lost 71 positions, just 10.1 per cent.

“We have taken resources out of backroom administration from bureaucracy. We have put it into services,” Harper said Wednesday during question period.

“There are more benefits and more money for veterans than ever before, and more points of service. That is called good administration, good government, and it is good service for the veterans of this country.”

As late as Friday, the Harper government was continuing to insist the reductions, part of an overall effort to eliminate the federal deficit, were not coming at the expense of ex-soldiers.

“We make no apologies for reducing bureaucratic expenses

G20 officer appeals conviction

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A Toronto police officer who was found guilty of assaulting a protester during the G20 summit four years ago is appealing his conviction.

Const. Babak Andalib-Goortani was convicted last September of assault with a weapon for using excessive force during the arrest of protester Adam Nobody on June 26, 2010, on the lawn of the Ontario legislature. He was sentenced to 45 days behind bars, though he was almost immediately granted bail.

His lawyer, Alan D Gold, says the officer was in a fluid and dynamic situation where he didn’t have the opportunity for calm reflection. Gold says the trial judge didn’t adequately consider the mental state of his client during the incident, which lasted about a minute.

The trial judge found Andalib-Goortani hit Nobody several times with his baton while he was already on the ground, surrounded by other officers in the process of arresting him.

The trial judge had also said the officer had shown no remorse and noted his name tag and badge weren’t visible during the arrest.

at Veterans Affairs Canada,” said Conservative MP Parm Gill, the parliamentary secretary to the minister, Julian Fantino.

“The opposition wants to increase government bureaucracy. We are increasing front line support for Canada’s veterans. We recently announced eight new front line mental health clinics for Canadian veterans. While the NDP defends the unions, along with the Liberals, we are defending Canada’s veterans.”

The majority of the staff cuts in the disability and death compensation branch took place between 2010 and 2013. That section also underspent its budget allotment by $121 million, according to a 2013-14 departmental performance report.

There’s a direct connection between the job cuts, the auditor general’s complaints about bene-

Former lieutenant governor pleads guilty to fraud

THE CANADIAN PRESS QUEBEC - Former Quebec lieutenantgovernor Lise Thibault has pleaded guilty to charges of fraud and breach of trust.

Thibault entered the pleas in a Quebec City courtroom this morning.

The charges were laid after a joint report filed by former provincial auditor general Renaud Lachance and his federal counterpart at the time, Sheila Fraser.

The document suggested more than $700,000 in alleged improper expenses had been claimed.

Thibault held the

provincial vice-regal post between 1997 and 2007.

Her trial heard the money was allegedly spent on several items including gifts, trips, parties, meals and skiing and golf lessons.

Quebec court Judge Carol St-Cyr ruled last summer against a pair of motions filed by Thibault’s lawyer, who argued the case should be dismissed because the accused benefited from royal immunity.

Lawyer Marc Labelle contended that meant she was not a civil servant and therefore could not face criminal charges.

The judge wrote

Wednesday, December 10, 2014 ~7:30pm ~

(Doors open at 7:15pm)

Seven Choirs and the Maple Leaf Band ~ Collection will be made at Intermission ~ All funds donated to Salvation Army Christmas Hamper Fund

that, according to constitutional law, the lieutenant-governor does not enjoy the same benefits as the Queen.

St-Cyr also noted that under the Constitution, the lieutenant-governor is a civil servant, adding such an affirmation is even posted on the lieutenant-governor’s website.

Thibault took the stand after the rulings. Before she did, she vowed to defend herself “so the truth can be known.”

“I am 75 years old and . . . I don’t want to leave behind the image of a woman who, after

funding. Other benefits, such as health care and re-establishment to civilian life, don’t kick in until a disability is approved.

There was $33 million in underspending on that area in the last budget year.

A spokeswoman for Fantino said that the number of clients served by the department declined to 205,213 in 2013, which is about a 13 per cent drop from where it was in 1994. Some of the reduction can be attributed to the passing away of Second World War and Korean War veterans, a trend that’s expected to accerlate in the coming years.

Fantino faced multiple calls to step down last week, but Valeriote said he expects the Conservative strategy is to run out the clock on Parliament’s latest sitting and hope the anger blows over during the Christmas holidays.

fit application wait times and the $1.13 billion in budget allocations that have gone unspent since 2006, said Liberal MP Frank Valeriote.

You can’t spend the money or process the applications if you don’t have the staff, said Valeriote, who accuses Harper of misleading Canadians by saying the cuts were administrative in nature.

“It is indefensible,” he said.

“Internal services, the backroom position of which the prime minister spoke on Wednesday when he said they’re in the backroom, the cuts were minor in nature. So, let’s make no mistake and let’s be very clear: He lied.”

The Union of Veterans Affairs Employees confirmed the job loss numbers, but noted that there is a knock-on effect when disability claims are delayed, which can also contribute to lapsed

having given everything, tainted an institution as important as that of the lieutenantgovernor,” she told reporters at the time.

Thibault testified that her days were busy and sometimes she awoke at 2 a.m. to fulfil her duties as the Queen’s representative in Quebec.

“For me, everything was an official

function,” she said repeatedly throughout her testimony, adding her responsibilities went above the official agenda filed as a court exhibit.

Thibault testified she had little to show financially for her time as vice-regal - a divorce ate into her savings and she now lives on a $30,000 pension.

Social media and the rise of the distracted thinker

A

decade has passed since Blackberry led the transformation of mobile phones into e-mail and internet access devices, now called smartphones.

By the end of 2014 over 1.7 billion-some 40 per cent of global mobile phone users will own smartphones.

In that breathtakingly brief period, the smartphone has transformed society in unimaginable ways. The most widely cited impacts are social. Pervasive e-mail and text messaging, the phenomenal popularity of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube plus the vast amount of information accessible through search engines such as Google see many users virtually unable to avoid using their smartphone for more than a few minutes.

This condition has become known as internet addiction. It infects children as young as two years and it’s well on its way to infecting a large part of the post-smartphone generation.

What does this have to

do with business?

A great deal, since those who grew up in the age of smartphones will eventually comprise Canada’s entire workforce. How can people who’ve spent almost every waking minute moment fixated on their gadgets learn thinking skills such as problem solving, strategic planning and disciplined time management?

Psychological studies don’t paint an encouraging picture.

When we go online, we enter an environment that promotes cursory reading and hurried, distracted thinking. Surprisingly, one of the clearest enunciations of the problem comes from an internet veteran.

Two years ago Joe Kraus, a partner at Google Ventures, sounded the alarm. “We are creating . . . a culture of distraction where we are increasingly disconnected from the people and events around us and increasingly unable to engage in long-form thinking. People now feel anxious when their brains are unstimulated . . . We threaten the key ingredi-

ents behind creativity and insight by filling up all our gap-time with stimulation.”

Another very important business skill is interpersonal communication.

With Facebook, Twitter and cell phone interactions, this is surely the most socially connected generation in history. But as personal as these seem to be, they shield the user from face-to-face interaction.

And given the opportunity for face-to-face interaction users often prioritize their phones over the people right in front of them.

MIT Professor Sherry Turkle states, “We are lonely, but fearful of

intimacy. Digital connections offer the illusion of companionship without the demands of friendship. We expect more from technology and less from each other”. This helps explain why employers are finding new recruits very bright, but awkward and deficient when working in teams or interacting with customers.

Studies by psychologists and neuro-biologists point to the conclusion that the internet device revolution is actually rewiring brains. Kraus puts it this way: “We’re radically over-developing the parts of quick-thinking, distractible brain and letting the long-form thinking, creative contemplative, solitude-seeking, thought-consolidating pieces of our brain atrophy by not using them . . . that’s both sad and dangerous.”

It’s dangerous sociologically because constantly distracted people who are incapable of “long-form thinking” will have difficulty managing their own lives. And it’s dangerous economically because business success

in a globally competitive world requires undistracted focus, analytical accuracy, creative problem solving, innovative thinking and team-working skills.

The internet brain seeks to fill all “gap” time twittering, texting, e-mailing, following Facebook “friends”, watching just-occurred news and, if there’s any spare minutes left, playing video games. Is it possible to re-wire the internet addicted brain?

As with other addictions, the cure lies in admitting the addiction and then having the determination and self-discipline to change.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see “internet withdrawal” retreat centres emerge as a new business opportunity. And businesses should be adding “long-form thinking” to employee development programs. The survival of their enterprises may depend upon it.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1” continues to dominate the domestic box office, but awards season hopefuls “Wild” and “The Imitation Game” proved their might with impressive limited release showings on this sleepy post-Thanksgiving weekend.

In its third weekend in release, “Mockingjay - Part 1” earned an estimated $21.6 million.

Lionsgate’s penultimate chapter in the massively successful franchise has now earned $257.7 million domestically.

DreamWorks Animation’s “Penguins of Madagascar” took second place with $11.1 million in its second weekend, while the raunchy Warner Bros. comedy “Horrible Bosses 2” claimed third place with $8.6 million.

The fourth and fifth place spots went to Disney’s animated “Big Hero 6” and Paramount’s space odyssey “Interstellar,” which earned $8.13 million and $8.0 million respectively.

But not everyone is in a financial position to increase investments in long-lived physical assets. The Canadian government, fortunately, is. At one-third of GDP, the federal government’s accumulated debt is both manageable and relatively low by international standards. Worries over fiscal sustainability need not constrain Ottawa from directing additional funding toward priority infrastructure projects, particularly projects judged to have a significant economic payoff.

Some provincial governments also have fiscal room to undertake additional infrastructure development should they wish to do so.

The Harper government has indeed given a higher priority to capital spending on infrastructure through its 10-year Building Canada Plan, as well as a suite of other programs focused on areas such as broadband, wastewater, border infrastructure, and transportation.

A number of provinces have followed suit, while others are retrenching on capital spending.

For governments with strong balance sheets, there is an argument for doing more.

Most economic forecasters are convinced that, by the end of the decade if not before, 10-year government bonds will be approximately twice as “expensive” as they are today, as measured by their market yields.

While government policymakers understandably want to maintain solid credit ratings and ensure that debt is carefully managed, it is important to recognize that the era of astonishingly low interest rates will not last indefinitely.

Stated differently, doesn’t it make sense to accelerate capital spending on infrastructure assets that will be required within the next decade and beyond, when the cost of money is expected to almost double within three to four years’ time?

Shooter video should be released An editorial from the Hamilton Spectator The RCMP and the federal government are wrong to keep secret the video left by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, the man who went on a murderous rampage in Ottawa.

Originally, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson said he hoped to release the video, which he says offers a lucid rationale for Bibeau’s attack and links Canadian foreign policy and his “religious” beliefs. Now police are backtracking, saying more investigation is needed. The parliamentary Speaker’s office says nothing will be released until after a lengthy security investigation, and then only a partial transcript if anything.

Why? Security at Parliament Hill has been

tightened greatly. Police and security personnel have had ample time to study the video and learn what they need to from it. There is no indication of any accomplices or links to other suspects. If there are legitimate security reasons for withholding the video, say so. If there are fears of a backlash against Muslim or other populations, say so. But maintaining an indefinite blanket of secrecy just raises questions and suspicions. Does the video paint a picture of the attack that differs from the government version? Would its release weaken support for Canada’s role in the war?

Canadians should not be prevented from seeing first hand what motivated the attacks that horrified all of us.

Pope prays for humanity to be free of ‘slavery’ to material things THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ROME - Pope Francis is praying that humanity be free of any “slavery” to material things as he visited Rome’s swank shopping area near the Spanish Steps.

Shoppers crowded into the square Monday to see Francis keep an annual appointment that marks the Dec. 8 Catholic feast day honouring the Virgin Mary and the traditional start of the city’s holiday shopping season.

Wearing a long white coat in the chilly early evening, Francis prayed that “humanity be freed of all spiritual and material slavery.”

He stood before a flower-adorned statue of Mary atop a towering column and expressed hope that in the run-up to Christmas, people would “go counter-current” by concentrating less on themselves.

Francis wants the church to pay more attention to the poor and others on the margins of society.

Trail Smoke Eaters forward Dallas Calvin nets his first of two on the night, but the Smokies would come up short on Sunday, losing to the Powell River Kings 5-3 at the Cominco Arena.

A rough homestand for Smokies

By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

The old adage, ‘it gets late really early’ is about to apply to the Trail Smoke Eaters if they can’t halt a four-game losing streak this weekend.

The Smokies suffered a 9-5 drubbing at the hands of the Vernon Vipers on Saturday night, and likely deserved better on Sunday, but squandered a 3-2 thirdperiod lead in a 5-3 loss to the Powell River Kings, falling further out of contention for a playoff spot.

“The effort was better Sunday than it was on Saturday night,” said Smoke Eaters assistant coach Craig Clare. “I think what we’re lacking right now is execution and really just a consistent effort.”

Powell River’s J.J. Coleshaw scored the winning goal on a power play 3:56 into the third period when he tipped in a Jacob Pritchard point shot to give the Kings a 4-3 lead.

The loss drops the Smokies nine points out of the fourth and final playoff spot currently held by the Merritt Centennials, who took 5-of-6 points on the weekend with two wins and a an overtime loss.

“For our group it’s time to hopefully just re-energize here and understand where

we are at in our division and where we need to get to,” said Clare. “We’re not out of this thing by any point, but we need to turn it around quickly to give ourselves an opportunity to get back in the playoff picture.”

The Smoke Eaters came out flying against the Kings and it seemed two points was almost a certainty facing a short-handed and roadweary Powell River team.

The Kings were coming off a 3-1 loss to Penticton on Saturday, and a 4-3 OT loss to Surrey Friday, and playing without top forwards Jarod Lukosevicius, and Kurt Keats, defenceman Carmine Buono and goalie Stefan Wornig who are attending the Western Junior A Challenge selection camp in Calgary. Kings’ Coach Kent Lewis said there was no way to replace four of his top six players, so was very happy with the result.

“We needed a gutsy effort, and we told the guys, ‘no excuses,’ we’re minus a lot of big guys in our lineup and we’ll just go out and play our game,” said Lewis. “It was greasy . . . We have to find ways to win ugly ones, and today, I’m proud of the effort, and the penalty kill.

It gives us three points out of six on the road, which is average, but contemplating

Inglehart

we only had one coming into today, it’s a good day.”

Trail forward Dallas Calvin opened the scoring on the power play, tipping in a Zuccarini slap-pass from the top of the circle to give the Smokies a 1-0 lead. But Powell River responded at 16:34 when Johnny Evans jumped on a rebound and lifted it over a sprawling Adam Todd.

The Kings would then take the lead on the power play, as Pritchard wheeled from behind the net and wristed it by Todd to make it 2-1 with two minutes remaining in the first period.

The Smokies drew even in the second when Paulsen Lautard finished a 2-on-1, firing in a pretty behind-theback pass from Kienan Scott with 3:12 remaining in the middle frame. The Smokies dominated the game over the first two periods outshooting the Kings 27 to 16, but were tied at two heading into the third.

With 50 seconds remaining in a penalty to Pritchard to start the final frame, it took Calvin only 33 seconds before netting his second on the night and fifth of the season. The Trail native took a Jake Lucchini feed and labeled the top corner with a wrist shot from the high slot

to beat Powell River goalie Brett Magnus and give the Smokies a 3-2 edge.

The lead was short-lived, however, as Pritchard scored 26 seconds later to tie it, and after Coleshaw’s winner, Mitchell Hawes would add an insurance marker jumping on a loose puck to make it 5-3.

The Smokies had two power play chances in the final seven minutes to get back in the game but could not generate any sustained pressure, even with a 6-on-4 advantage after pulling Todd with over three minutes remaining.

“There’s no easy answer,” said Clare. “You got a team coming in that is probably tired and a little bit short manned. We were all over them for the first 10 minutes and really the game could have been over at that point, but they hung around, and hung around, they gained some confidence and built off their energy, and every mistake we made ended up in the back of our net.”

The Smokies outshot the Kings 37-29, with both teams going 2-for-5 on the power play. Kings goalie Magnus was first star, Jeremy LeClerc second star and Trail’s Lautard third star.

MacLean at 9:30 a.m. Monday morning, said he had grown frustrated watching the Senators struggle with turnovers night after night.

In parts of four seasons the Senators went 114-90-35 under MacLean, making the playoffs in his first two seasons.

MacLean won the Jack Adams Trophy as NHL coach of the year in the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season after leading a team ravaged by injuries to Jason Spezza, Erik Karlsson and Craig Anderson to the playoffs.

The Senators have the lowest payroll in the league at US$56,280,726, according to CapGeek. They’re 10th in the Eastern Conference.

MacLean, a 56-year-old from Antigonish, N.S., who previously served as an assistant to Mike Babcock in Anaheim and Detroit, was in the first season of a new three-year deal.

Murray said after last season, he felt MacLean deserved a chance to redeem himself.

“I was really in his corner to come back,” he said. “Sometimes you have a bad year.”

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Less than 18 months after being honoured as the NHL’s coach of the year, Paul MacLean is out of a job.

The Ottawa Senators fired MacLean on Monday after an 11-115 start, though the problems team executives had with the coach extended back into last season when the Senators missed the playoffs.

Senators general manager Bryan Murray told a news conference Monday that assistant Dave Cameron will be the new head coach of the team.

“I’ve had some tough days lately,” said Murray, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment and watched longtime Senator Daniel Alfredsson retire last week. “This is one of them.”

MacLean, the first NHL coach to be fired this season, wore out his welcome among Senators players with tactics that led to many games in which they were outshot. Through 27 games, Ottawa has given up the second-most shots in the league behind only the Buffalo Sabres.

effort against the Vipers where Vernon jumped out to a 5-1 first-period lead on their way to a 9-5 victory.

Lautard was a bright spot for the Smokies getting the third-star nod in both weekend matches. The Midway native had a goal and an assist against the Vipers, while Jake Lucchini had a goal and two assists, and Calvin picked up three helpers. Connor BrownMaloski, Connor Wynne, and Zuccarini

netted the other goals for the Smokies, while Trail native Riley Brandt had a goal and an assist for the Snakes.

Luke Shiplo picked up four assists for the Vipers, while Thomas Aldworth scored twice, and Blaine Caton had a goal and two assists.

The Smokies play two games at home this weekend, hosting the West Kelowna Warriors on Friday and the Chilliwack Chiefs on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - “Peter Pan Live” didn’t exactly fly for NBC. The three-hour live musical starring Allison Williams reached 9.1 million viewers Thursday night, or just under half the audience that watched “The Sound of Music” last December, the Nielsen company said on Friday. The unexpected crowd of 18.6 million people last year had NBC swiftly looking for another live production.

Viewers drifted away from “Peter Pan Live” as the evening went on. During the first half hour, Nielsen said 11.4 million viewers were tuned in.

But it dropped every half hour so that 7 million people were watching the final scenes.

The musical made a social media splash, however. Twitter said there were 457,000 tweets sent out about the show.

Fans upset about ‘Walking Dead’ spoiler The Canadian Press Here’s another reminder to be careful on the web if you can’t watch a big season finale as it airs live. Sometimes you might need to avoid the web completely to dodge spoilers.

AMC infuriated some “Walking Dead” fans last week after it posted a spoiler-filled image on its Facebook page before west coast viewers had a chance to see the mid-season finale.

As Entertainment Weekly reports, the network had to apologize for spoiling a very big moment from the show. If you still haven’t seen the finale, don’t click this link, which contains details about the spoiler: http://bit.ly/1BlPirT

some privacy.

I only intervene in these conversations when I see the tension rising and my son getting frustrated or angry. Ricardo has told me that I should mind my own business and tell him in private what I think and not do it in front of our son. Is he right? It makes me feel that I’m not being supportive of our son.

Should I just walk away from their conversation and keep my feelings to myself? Right now, I have an upset son and a furious husband. -Stuck in the Middle Dear Stuck: You both need a new approach.

Grilling a teenager about his social life will

has to be his idea. I’ve read everything I could about having a good sex life and tried for years to please him. But he thinks sexual pleasure is only for him and the rest is a tool to punish me. I’ve told him how I feel, but he is never wrong and can’t handle criticism. He refuses counseling.

Sometimes, I wonder whether he is gay.

I had an affair, and the sex was wonderful, but I broke it off. Now I’m considering divorce in the hope that I can find a man who believes that sex ought to be fun and enjoyable for both partners. Boring sex might be a reason some women lose interest.

That’s my two cents. -Tired of It All Dear Tired: Dissatisfaction can be a reason to avoid sex, but your real problem is a husband who doesn’t care that you are unhappy. His disinterest in your concerns goes beyond the bedroom. Whether or

not you divorce, please get counseling on your own so you can better navigate the rocks ahead.

Dear Annie: “Dumfounded Niece” was upset that she hadn’t received any acknowledgment of the flowers she sent to her

aunt’s funeral.

My mother sent flowers to the funeral of her brother in another state. When Mom asked my aunt whether the flowers looked nice, she was told they never arrived. Our local florist discovered that the flowers had never been

sent from the florist in the other state. -Arlene in North Dakota 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.

backfire every time, and Ricardo should know better. And when you intervene, even with good reason, Ricardo thinks it makes him the bad guy in front of your son. Have a private conversation with your husband and tell him that peppering the boy with questions will simply make him clam up and become resentful.

It’s easier to get information when you aren’t trying so hard. (Perhaps he remembers his own teenage years.) The two of you should instead agree upon a silent signal when his questions get out of hand.

In return, promise to share what you learn.

Dear Annie: Do you know why I’m not interested in sex with my husband? It gives me no satisfaction. My husband’s idea of sex is 30 seconds of satisfying himself. He is boring, boring, boring.

My husband is a controlling person, so if I initiate sex, he isn’t interested. It always

Dear Annie: My husband, “Ricardo,” is a naturally curious man.

He usually asks questions in a charming manner, showing genuine interest in family and friends.

We have a teenage son. Ricardo often asks him probing questions about his girlfriend, which upsets our son. I totally get that Ricardo is interested and concerned for our son, so often I try to smooth the waves and attempt to let Ricardo know that he is being too pushy. I try to say this in a lighthearted way during the conversation in order to defuse the tension.

This infuriates Ricardo. He says I am undermining his parental authority. Annie, our son is a fine, outstanding young man. He does well in school, has great friends and participates in meaningful activities. It’s not as if he is up to something just because he doesn’t want to talk about his girlfriend. He just wants

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) For the next few weeks, it will be easy for you to impress authority figures. In fact, some of you might strike up a flirtation with or take a friendly interest in someone, like your boss.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Travel for pleasure will appeal to you in the month ahead. You might develop a romantic interest in someone from another background or a different culture.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Gifts, goodies and favors from others will come your way in the month ahead. Keep your pockets open, and be ready to say “thank you.”

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Relations with partners and close friends will improve in the month ahead because fair Venus is opposite your sign.

This creates an atmosphere

of cooperation, courtesy and friendliness.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Do whatever you can to make your workspace look more attractive in the next few weeks, because this will please you. In addition, a work-related romance might begin. Oh my.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) The month ahead will offer you opportunities for romance, flirtations, playful times with children, enjoyable sports events, the arts, movies and vacations. It’s fun city for Virgos!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Opportunities to entertain at home as well as redecorate where you live will come to you in the next few weeks. All family relationships will be warmer and happier.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You can make money from your words in the next month. This bodes well for

those of you who write, teach, act, sell, market, train or promote for a living.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) In the next few weeks, you might be able to boost your income. However, you certainly will be tempted to buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The month ahead is the perfect time to shop for ward-

robe goodies for yourself, because you will like what you see in the mirror. When you like yourself, you buy flattering clothes!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Enjoy solitude in beautiful surroundings during the next few weeks. Give yourself a break during this busy, popular time.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Relations with others,

especially in group settings, will be especially warm and friendly during the next month. This is a good time to mend broken fences and make new friends.

YOU BORN TODAY

You often are devoted to your beliefs, and you have a strong inward sense of calm. You are poetic and spiritual, and sometimes otherworldly, which might confuse others. You dispense authority with kind-

Crowds filled the empty Liquidation World space to buy homemade jewelry, soaps, baked goods and more. The market is running again this coming Saturday from noon to 4 p.m.
