Warmer weather coming on the heels of big snowfall BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
It's going to be a mess out there this week once the rising temperatures roll in following the heaviest snow dump of the season. A warm dry climate is expected to return by Wednesday, following a mid-latitude or frontal cyclone that covered the Greater Trail area with about 34 centimetres (cm) of snow between Sunday afternoon and early the following morning. Local weatherman Jesse Ellis says the precipitation trend will move in the northeastern direction by today and for the most part, the rest of the week will be dry with unseasonably warm temperatures. “By Tuesday a lot of big weather will have happened,” he said. “Anything later is low confidence. But Wednesday does show we are going into a warm southerly flow with above seasonable temperatures and generally fairly dry.” The pummelling of snow had LIZ BEVAN PHOTO
Parents, Lee and Jessica Peet from Fruitvale, welcomed their baby daughter, Paisley Amy Peet, at 9:01 a.m. on Jan. 2 at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital. The baby was the first to be born at KBRH in the new year, and is being celebrated by gifts from businesses around the city.
KBRH welcomes first baby of 2015 BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff
A New Year's tradition is being celebrated at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital with the birth of the first baby of 2015. Paisley Amy Peet weighed 7 lb, 6 oz when she was delivered via c-section at 9:01 a.m. on Jan. 2. Parents Jessica and Lee Peet, of Fruitvale, say they knew Paisley would be born early in the year, but didn't know their family would be the first. “It was a scheduled c-section for Jan. 2,” said Lee. “But, we definitely didn't think that she was going to be the first baby of the year.” The happy parents are seasoned veterans when it comes to raising kids. Paisley will be joining her two older brothers, Lane, 6, and Jaxyn, 5, and the Peets say their boys are
really looking forward to having a baby sister at home. “Our oldest, Lane, is already acting protective, but they are both really excited,” said Jessica. “She isn't going to be able to bring a boyfriend home later on.” When choosing a name for their new baby girl, Jessica and Lee already had one picked out and waiting in the wings. “We had chosen Paisley as a baby name when our first boy was going to be born (six years ago),” said Lee. “If either of the boys had been girls, they would have been named Paisley.” “We don't have a good story for the name (Paisley), we just liked the name,” said Jessica. “Amy (her middle name) is special though, it is my grandmother's name.” See FIRST, Page 3
City of Trail crews out in full force Sunday night with five extra bodies on hand to plow the major roads and downtown streets early Monday morning. “This isn't anything we can't handle,” said Patrick Gauvreau, Trail's ground supervisor. “The challenge was that we got almost a foot in such a short amount of time. The city usually holds off clearing the downtown area until later day or evening, but with so much snow, Gauvreau said a grader and three-tonne truck were on site in the early morning to open things up. “You should have seen the mayhem,” he added. Another snow or mix of rain and snow is forecast to hit the Greater Trail region by Friday, but is not expected to near the precipitation level that passed through over the weekend. See RED, Page 3
Big crowd for New Year’s dip in Columbia River BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff
A bathing suit with a winter jacket was the dress code for Trail's annual Polar Bear Swim on New Year's Day. Hundreds of people gathered at Gyro Park beach the morning after ringing in the new year, watching and waiting for the signal from Corporal Christopher Buckley that it was time to swim in the 2 C water. There were 129 registered swimmers at the yearly event, some first timers, some seasoned Polar Bear Swim veterans. Gerald Pinard of Trail had never done the swim before, and he says he had a great time taking the plunge and would do it again. "This is my first time," he said, while warming up by the bonfire on

the beach after getting out of the water. "It was a spiritual cleansing. The water was awesome - refreshing." Pinard was also the lucky winner of the trip for two to Vancouver on Pacific Coastal Airlines - one of many prizes handed out to the brave folks who went for a swim when it was a chilly -8 C outside. Heidi McLachlan, a Trail resident, has participated in the swim for a few years already, but comes back every New Year's Day to do it all over again. "It was cold, but we do it every year," she said, adding that part of her motivation to jump in the nearfreezing water was the effort put in by organizers. "They do such a great job every year, so why not support them."

City reviewing twinning program with Sagamihara By Sheri Regnier Times Staff
What to do when one sister outgrows the other? That is the question about the future of a 20-plus year relationship between Trail and its twin town of Tsukui, Japan. The bond between the two municipalities was originally established in 1991, at a time when the cities were closer in population and had similar governance. The relationship changed somewhat after Tsukui, along with the town of Sagamiko, merged into the metropolis of Sagamihara in 2006, which currently has a populace nearing 725,000 people. The status of future relations was brought to the city's table earlier this month following a request from the Japanese city that Trail consider developing a sports exchange program where visitors would be accommodated in a hostel or hotel, and not placed with host families. Specifically, Sagamihara asked the city to think about sending swim club youth for a one-week visit to experience international swimming competitions alongside athletes from Toronto and Wuxi, China. Additionally, Trail was requested to host a delegation of staff (no elected officials) from Sagamihara in February for delivery of a congratulatory message to city council in support of the

This could be a good time to sit back and have a look at the whole twinning initiative from a cultural perspective.” While council members agreed
First baby in B.C. born just after midnight FROM PAGE 1 Paisley is just one of 44,000 babies expected to be born in B.C. in 2015, and she can consider herself pretty unique. The name Paisley was given to only 36 of the 22,000 girls born in 2014. At the top of the list of most popular baby names of 2014, released by Interior Health, is Olivia, with nearly 300 parents choosing the name for their baby girls. Emma, Sophia, Emily and Ava round out the top five names given to girls this past year. For boys, parents chose Liam, Mason, Ethan, Lucas and Benjamin most often when naming their new babies. While it took just over a day after the new year began for Paisley to be born at KBRH, a Langley mother gave birth to a little boy only five seconds after the clock struck midnight - the first baby born in B.C. in 2015. The Peets were presented with a congratulatory gift basket from the KBRH Auxiliary organization, and will also be receiving a collection of gifts from businesses around Trail, including a gift certificate from Ferraro Foods, a flower arrangement from Ye Olde Flower Shoppe and much more.
to pass the swimming proposal to both the Trail Stingrays and the TRAX Swim Club to determine the level of interest, Coun. Lisa Pasin requested clarity about costs and the city's level of sponsorship. “We need a clear outline about what costs would be picked up by the host family and what cost would be picked up by the swimmers and potentially city hall,” said Pasin. “I think the timeline
(one week) they set out is unrealistic. To be travelling that far for three or four days of interaction and at that cost, it's a bit tight.” The city's policy is that they would be on the hook for travel costs and hosted in a municipal hostel or housing, explained David Perehudoff, Trail's chief administrative officer. “They would be covered in that respect, but definitely it would cost several thousand dollars for any one
individual to go there.” A final decision on whether or not to enter into further discussions for a new sport-based program with Sagamihara will be made in the new year following responses from the two Trail swim clubs. However, council agreed to respectfully deny the Japanese city's request for Trail to host them in February and send the matter to the Twinning Committee to further assess any ongoing relationship. Coun. Sandy Santori, chair of the Dec. 15 governance meeting conceded the previous student exchange program had been a valuable experience for students, but since its demise, the program is no longer what is was intended to be. “We would be better off finding another community that's more consistent with what we have here,” he said. “And start a cultural program for the kids as opposed to continuing this.” Tsukui was originally picked because it was listed as a small town by Japanese standards (about 29,000 people) and is situated along a waterway with a number of bridges crossing the lake and river valley. The twinning program was described as a friendship that fostered cultural diversity and promoted economic opportunities during resident exchanges, when the host city looked after the visitors in a home-type setting.
Red Mountain gets blanket of white FROM PAGE 1 While most had to shovel or snow-blow their way into work or school, Red Mountain Resort was celebrating great conditions after 24 cm of low density snow (powder) dumped in 24 hours. Only five days into January, the resort notes 34 cm of new snow, compared to December’s monthly total of 100 cm. The white new year followed a mostly mild December climate, and the first “true” green Christmas in 42 years. “Due to the timing of events, but more so a result of the unseasonably mild temperatures,

there was no snow at the Castlegar Airport on Dec. 25,” explained Ellis. Other years (notably 2002) have been very close to experiencing a green Christmas, he said, adding that this was the first true occurrence since 1972. The warmest day of the month was 6.3 C on Dec. 21, which doesn’t near the record high 11.6 C set on Dec. 27, 1980. The overall December precipitation, 95 millimetres, was average, although a new daily record maximum was set on Dec. 20, when 20 cm of combined rain and snow fell.

Nurse has no regrets, considers return to Africa Rossland’s Patrice Gordon under hotel room lockdown in Kelowna after showing symptoms of Ebola By Jeff Nagel Black Press
B.C. Ebola fighter Patrice Gordon’s hospitalization this week after coming down with a fever has put a B.C. face on the army of medical heroes battling the killer disease in West Africa. The Rossland nurse practitioner was released from an isolation unit at Kelowna General Hospital Thursday after three tests for Ebola came back negative. She returned Christmas Day from four weeks in Sierra Leone and drove to hospital Dec. 29 – part way into her three-week period of selfquarantine at a Kelowna hotel – after developing symptoms now thought to be merely a severe cold. Gordon spoke out Friday after finding herself in a media spotlight, saying she hopes more B.C. volunteers help fight the epidemic and that they can return home to face less stigma and fear than she did. “Don’t be afraid of us when we come home,” she told reporters by phone, insisting medical workers like herself and designated hospitals are well prepared to prevent spread of the disease. “If I had it, it would have ended with me.” Gordon’s Christmas Day arrival was a lonely one – nobody met her at the airport and she went straight to a hotel room to begin her isolation. “I would have loved to have somebody come and give me a hug. But I certainly wasn’t about to broadcast that I had just been in one of the countries affected by Ebola because I didn’t know what kind of reaction I was going to get.” Gordon previously worked overseas in Afghanistan and signed up with the Canadian Red Cross prior to the Ebola outbreak. She trained on procedures in Spain before going to an Ebola treatment centre in Kenema, Sierra Leone on Nov. 21. “The pull for me to be able to go and use my skills and try to make a difference there was huge,” she said. Her three adult sons were “not impressed” with her decision to go on the mission in the

first place and were “very worried” to learn she was in hospital being tested for Ebola. But Gordon says she has no regrets, despite sweat-soaked work and having her “heart broken 10 million times” as victims young and old perished. “I would not change a thing, except to make Ebola go away,” she said. “This is how we make the world a better place – we go and do what we can.” Seven others from B.C. are now self-monitoring for symptoms during their own 21-day Ebola incubation periods and nine previous volunteers have undergone the three-week wait and been cleared. All shared in an unexpected honour – Time Magazine’s declaration of Ebola fighters as its Person of the Year. “They risked and persisted, sacrificed and saved,” Time’s Nancy Gibbs wrote, citing their “tireless acts of courage and mercy” that helped buy the world time to boost its defenses. “The rest of the world can sleep at night because a group of men and women are willing to stand and fight.” Gordon and other Red Cross workers celebrated in Sierra Leone when they heard the news but she immediately used it the next day to try to boost the spirits of their Ebola patients. “The entire world is pulling for you guys,” she recounted telling the stricken Africans, who she insists are the “real heroes” fighting the disease. A possible return to the Ebola battlefield of West Africa has already crossed her mind, even though the B.C. nurse remains under hotel room lockdown until she’s deemed safe from the disease on Jan. 14. “My family’s going to kill me,” Gordon said. “But they know me well enough to know that I would already be contemplating going back.”
Students’ project set for lift-off again
THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A science project dreamed up by a group of students in central British Columbia that exploded on a rocket launching pad two months ago is about to get a second chance at space travel. Four boys, who were students at McGowan Park Elementary School in Kamloops, B.C., won a contest to send their microgravity experiment to the International Space Station during a launch in late October. But the NASA-contracted rocket exploded on launch, destroying a payload of cargo destined for the space station along with 18 student experiments from across North America. Paul Hembling, the Kamloops project coordinator, says he’s crossing his fingers the students’ experiment finally launches early Tuesday morning on a SpaceX resupply mission to the space station. The McGowan Park school experiment examines how the zero-gravity environment of space affects the growth of crystals.

Public peeing still a problem THE CANADIAN PRESS NANAIMO, B.C. - Year-end statistics for 2014 show peeing in public remained a problem in Nanaimo, although bylaw officers issued fewer tickets for fighting. Figures provided by the central Vancouver Island city show 257 tickets were handed out for tinkling, only a wee bit down from the 261 offences recorded the previous year. Municipal council voted in 2013 to invest more than $100,000 to install a public out-
door toilet in Diana Krall Plaza, a measure some said would provide relief to the problem. City bylaw and security manager Randy Churchill says the issue is still a concern. Figures also show 71 tickets were handed out for fighting in public, compared with 122 in 2013. The city says nearly 7,000 parking tickets were issued, a 26.5 per cent jump that Churchill says can be credited to bylaw officers taking over the enforcement job from contractors.
Snowstorm wreaks havoc
THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - Snow and freezing rain have closed highways and schools in parts of British Columbia as Environment Canada issued multiple weather warnings for several regions. Avalanche Canada forecaster Tom Riley said the slide danger is rated as high in the southern Interior, though people were continuing to take risks on the mountains. “We have reports of people going for rides on avalanches and getting partially buried,” he said Monday. The danger rating applies to the Cariboo mountains, the north Monashees and the Selkirks, all the way down to the Kootenay-Boundary region and into the Purcells, Riley said. Heavy snowfall also closed public schools in the central Okanagan, keeping about 14,000 students home on what was supposed to be their first day back to class after the winter break. School District 73 in Kamloops was also closed. Superintendent Karl deBruijn said it’s the first such closure is his 37 years on the job. “I don’t think it’s ever been done before in Kamloops, and we’re pretty concerned about it.” The North Okanagan-Shuswap School District, the Fraser-Cascade
School District, some private schools and Thompson Rivers University were also closed. A storm dumped between 25 and 30 centimetres of snow in the Interior, and Environment Canada said more is on the way. The government’s DriveBC website also advised motorists about a high avalanche hazard in the southeast part of the province. A 34-kilometre stretch of Highway 1 remained closed overnight near Revelstoke because of the avalanche risk. The hazard also led to the closure of two separate areas of Highway 13 near Trout Lake and Meadow Creek, and a 27-kilometre stretch of Highway 3 west of Creston. The highway was closed in both directions from 30 kilometres west of Creston for 27 kilometres as crews worked to remove snow. Heavy snowfall and blowing snow were limiting visibility on Highway 5 between Hope and Kamloops and on Highway 97C between Merritt and West Kelowna. Travellers were being advised to make alternate plans or allow for extra time to reach their destination. A two-kilometre stretch of Highway 31 was also shut down as crews worked to remove snow.

had to break through three feet of fresh powder snow to get into the area where the lost party was located.” Search volunteers had cellular phone contact with the snowmobilers, who had GPS and were able to provide coordinates for their location. “Once in the area, the SAR snowmobile teams could smell the smoke from the fire that the men had started, which led them to their location,” said Pearson. “They were found cold and tired, as not only were they lost, but they had also got their snowmobiles stuck several times.”

Parents of accused forced to move from reserve THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - The parents of a man accused of viciously attacking a six-year-old girl on an Alberta reserve say they have been forced to move because of threats of violence. Ramona and James Strong said in a statement that RCMP helped move them and their other eight children from the Paul First Nation on Dec. 22. That Briefs was the same day their 21-year-old son, James Clifford Paul, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated sexual assault and kidnapping. Band administrator Shane Pospisil said the family is staying at an Edmonton-area hotel and may never be able to go home. “While the little girl is a victim and the injuries she has suffered are very, very serious, our family and our other eight children are now also victims,” the Strongs wrote in a signed statement released Monday to The Canadian Press. “We didn’t do anything, and our kids didn’t do anything, but we had to flee our home on the Paul Band reserve because of threats and a very real fear of violence against us.”

Son charged in mother’s death after fall THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG - The lawyer for a musician who is accused of letting his 90-year-old mother die on the floor after she fell out of bed says his client is a doting son who is devastated and grieving in jail. Mike Cook says Ron Siwicki was complying with his mother’s wishes when she fell in mid-December. She didn’t want medical attention, so Siwicki fed her nutritional drinks for several days until she died. He then called 911, Cook said Monday. Siwicki, 62, has been in custody since being charged with criminal negligence causing death and failing to provide the necessities of life. “He’s devastated,” Cook said. “When I started to read the police report, he just broke down. He put his head into his hands and was sobbing.”
Embattled Fantino removed from Veterans Affairs but keeps cabinet job THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - After an 18-month tenure marred by controversy, confrontation and cries of incompetence, Julian Fantino has been booted out of the Veterans Affairs portfolio and demoted to his old job as a junior minister. In a quiet ceremony Monday at Rideau Hall, Prime Minister Stephen Harper replaced Fantino with Erin O’Toole, a southern Ontario MP and former member of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Fantino, a toughtalking former police chief who represents the strategically important riding of Vaughan, north of Toronto, remains at the cabinet table as associate minister of defence in charge of procurement. After the ceremony, Fantino didn’t speak to reporters other than to offer New Year’s greetings. But in a written statement, he later defended both his own record and that of the government in their treatment of ex-soldiers. “Each and every day that I served at Veteran Affairs I was guided by a firm belief that government must stand by those who have served and continue to serve,” Fantino said. “Under Prime

“Each and every day that I served at Veteran Affairs I was guided by a firm belief that government must stand by those who have served and continue to serve.” Julian Fantino
Minister Harper, I can say with confidence that we have fully embraced that principle.” Fantino went on to list some of the recent improvements, announced in November, including the expansion of services to deal with operational stress injuries. News of the shuffle was greeted cautiously by those in the veterans community. The Royal Canadian Legion called it a “political move,” while others say it’s designed to restore the government’s credibility with a core Conservative constituency. Whether it works remains to be seen, said dominion president Tom Eagles. “The legion has great expectations that this government and all political parties will put the past behind and move forward to create an environment where veterans know that this country’s obliga-
tion to care for them when they need it will be met,” Eagles said. “Given the outpouring of support veterans saw this past Remembrance Day, the Legion expects all Canadians will want their government to embrace whatever needs to be done to care for our Veterans now and in the future.” A former street cop who later became Toronto police chief and commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police, Fantino entered federal politics by winning a byelection in 2010. He was re-elected in 2011 and named to the cabinet in January as minister of state for seniors. He became minister of international co-operation in July 2012 and went to Veterans Affairs a year later. He found himself in political hot water almost from the moment he took the post.

the department came under heavy fire from veterans groups, the veterans ombudsman, the auditor general and the political opposition. Fantino’s efforts to defend office closures, job cuts, lapsed budget money and tweaks to pensions and benefits provoked anger from veterans and scorn from the NDP and Liberals. There were public relations gaffes, including a muchpublicized - and televised - confrontation with veterans, and the spectacle of Fantino walking away from the wife of a former soldier, ignoring her shouted questions. Then there was the government’s decision to go to court to argue that it had no special responsibility to care for veterans, despite the fact that such a responsibility had been iron-clad policy since the First World War. There were howls of protest when it was learned the depart-
ment had allowed more than $1 billion of its budget to lapse and return to the federal treasury since 2006. The anger only grew when the department admitted spending $4 million on ads last year promoting its efforts to help veterans return to civilian life. Reports detailed the troubles veterans encountered getting help and benefits from the department. Other studies suggested that wounded veterans would face poverty once they hit age 65. Efforts to calm the situation failed. Tweaks to benefits and more money for mental health brought no respite. Fantino’s chief of staff quit and was replaced by a staffer from the Prime Minister’s Office. Retired general Walt Natynczyk, the country’s former top military commander, was also appointed as Fantino’s deputy minister and senior civil servant.

Last week I mentioned a new book called “The Columbia River Treaty – A Primer” by members of Simon Fraser University’s climate adaptation team. This slim volume makes the case that B.C. has ended up with a shockingly bad deal from this 1964 treaty, which concerned itself entirely with flood control and hydroelectric power. In those days there was little or no environmental assessment. Agriculture, fish habitat and aboriginal impacts were ignored. More than a decade after the disastrous flood year of 1948, once Ottawa stopped its bureaucratic delays, U.S. public and private power utilities paid B.C. $254 million to build three dams on the Columbia system. Those dams (and one
at Libby, Montana that mostly floods B.C. land) hold back the huge spring runoff from the Rockies and then dole out water for power production in B.C. and for the 15 hydro dams previously built downstream in the U.S. The U.S. payment was for half the power over 30 years, which B.C. didn’t need at the time. Then our American cousins cut us another cheque for $64 million, an estimate of the value of flood protection from 1968 all the way to 2024. Boy, did we get taken. The SFU team calculates the value of that flood control to the U.S. at more like $32 billion. That’s not even the worst of it. The Kootenays were once the leading fruit and vegetable growing area in B.C., bigger than the Okanagan. Now in the Arrow Lakes and other reservoirs, levels rise and fall dramatically

to steady the flow south. In addition to the large areas permanently flooded by the Mica, Duncan and Hugh Keenleyside dams, this renders more of B.C.’s prime bottom land impassable. B.C. is paid precisely zero for this sacrifice, while Washington state has developed a $5 billion-a-year farm economy using our stable irrigation source. That has helped their tree fruit growers push some Okanagan orchardists out of business.
As U.S. billionaires continue to bankroll environmental attacks on B.C. and Alberta energy projects, it’s worth noting that long before the treaty, the U.S. militaryindustrial complex had wiped out the Columbia River salmon runs. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its private power partners dammed everything they could find, exterminating a fishery bigger than the Fraser that had sustained aboriginal people on both sides of today’s border for thousands of years. B.C. Energy Minister Bill Bennett and SFU’s Jon O’Riordan both described to me their experience at the Columbia River Basin conference, held last October in Spokane. Their main impression was that Americans, including traditional tribes, want those salmon runs restored. Vast amounts have been spent on hatch-
eries and habitat to speed recovery below the Grand Coulee dam, which stands like a giant tombstone for migratory fisheries above it. Should the Americans ever manage to get salmon above their biggest dam, it will largely be up to B.C. to provide sufficient cool water to keep them alive. That service has an increasing value to the U.S. as well as an ongoing cost to B.C. Bennett surprised some in Spokane when he said the U.S. needs to pay more for the benefits from the Columbia River Treaty. The flood control agreement expires in 2024. The treaty requires 10 years’ notice for either country to exit. Climate shifts are expected to make B.C. water more important than ever. Your move, Uncle Sam.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS One of New Jersey’s “Real Housewives” has gone to the big house. Teresa Giudice surrendered at the Federal Correction Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, at about 3 a.m. Monday to begin serving a 15-month sentence for bankruptcy fraud, her attorney said. Giudice and her husband, Giuseppe “Joe” Giudice, pleaded guilty last year to hiding assets from bankruptcy creditors and submitting phoney loan applications to get some $5 million in mortgages and construction loans. Joe Giudice also pleaded guilty to failing to pay taxes totalling more than $200,000.

Letters & Opinion Letters to the editor
A big heartfelt thanks to Evalynn A little three year old “Sweetie”, who in the Spirit of Christmas, wished my husband “ A Merry Christmas” and gave my husband a lovely Christmas tin full of cookies, chocolates, and candies. Both Evalynn and her Mom were spreading Christmas Cheer in Ferraro’s parking lot on December 23rd. They most certainly brightened our day with their Christmas Cheer. Elsio and Elizabeth Vanelli Trail
Little girl delivers some Christmas spirit
A few days before Christmas, while walking along Cedar Ave on my way to the jewelry store, a small girl and her mom were walking toward me. In the little girls hand was a small cookie tin and in her other hand was her mom’s hand. She dropped her mom’s hand and pointed to me. Her mom nodded and smiled and the little girl walked to me and said “I want to give you this for
Christmas” and handed me the tin. I smiled and looked at her mom and was about to say I’m ok, she sensed that and stopped me short saying……she picked you sir. The little girl was smiling and that sweet smile grew larger when I thanked her and wished her a very merry Christmas. Her smile said “Mission Accomplished”! I thanked her mom and told her she has instilled the real meaning of Christmas with

claims trump those of regional nations such as Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines. Although democratic nations often have a common view of the world, their conflicting interests complicate coordination. The “rest” tend to get pushed together less by mutual attraction than by rejection of the democratic model. The liberal democratic view of the world threatens the hegemony of the “rest,” whether over “their” region or “their” people. Thus, the West squabbles but can sometimes work together. Russia and China typically back each other, and protect and support unsavory regimes the world over such as Venezuela, Belarus, Assad’s Syria, and North Korea. The West’s and the “rest’s” opposing worldviews are incompatible and arguments based on them are mutually incomprehensible. Thus, negotiations cannot end in a mutually advantageous solution – except in response to a threat both sides see as common, such as Iran’s nuclear program, Islamic terrorism, or North Korea’s recklessness. Even here, agreement is fragile if the non-democracies think the bad actors are doing more harm to the West than to them. In most cases, no comprehensive agreement is possible in these assemblies of the deaf. Forms of force, not dialogue, become the tools of the day, whether annexations by Russia or sanctions against Russia, China’s dangerous provocations in the South China Sea or ad hoc alliances in response. This will be the shape of our world for decades, maybe centuries. Fred McMahon is the Michael Walker Chair of Economic Freedom Research with the Fraser Institute.
her daughter. I didn’t open the tin until I got home. I gave it to my wife Donna and when opened we saw that it contained homemade cookies, chocolate and candy. But better than that, it contained a little card that read, you have been chosen by three year old Evalynn to receive this tin of cookies – Merry Christmas.

Donna Douglas
Perfect day for a sleigh ride
Actress known as tomboy from ‘Beverly Hillbillies’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Donna Douglas, who played the buxom tomboy Elly May Clampett on the hit 1960s sitcom “The Beverly Hillbillies,” has died. Her niece says Douglas died Thursday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, near her hometown of Zachary. The cause of death was pancreatic cancer, Charlene Smith said. Douglas was 82. She was best known for her role in “The Beverly Hillbillies,” the CBS comedy about a backwoods Ozark family who moved to Beverly Hills after striking it rich from oil discovered on their land. The series, which ran from 1962 to 1971, also starred the late Buddy Ebsen and Irene Ryan as well as Max Baer Jr., who turned 77 on Sunday. As Elly May, she seemed blissfully unaware of her status as a bumpkin blond bombshell. Typically she was clad in a snug flannel shirt and tight jeans cinched with a rope belt, and she seemed to prefer her critters to any beau. Chosen from more than 500 other actresses, Douglas said she felt at ease playing the role because, like her character, she grew up a poor Southern tomboy. Her childhood in Pride, Louisiana, came in handy when she was asked during her audition to milk a goat. “I had milked cows before,” she recalled in a 2009 interview with The Associated Press. “I figured they were equipped the same, so I just went on over and did it.” The show was not only assailed by critics, but by the network president who put it on the air: “I HATED it,” Michael Dann confided much later. The public, however, felt quite the opposite: It ran for nine seasons, often in the Top 10. In their own way, the Clampetts were a forerunner of the ‘60s counterculture.
Little Jimmy Dickens
Oldest cast member of Grand Ole Opry dies THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE - Little Jimmy Dickens, a diminutive singer-songwriter known for his sense of humour and as the oldest cast member of the Grand Ole Opry, has died. He was 94. Dickens died Friday at a Nashville-area hospital of cardiac arrest after suffering a stroke on Christmas Day, Opry spokeswoman Jessie Schmidt said. Dickens, who stood 4-foot-11, had performed on the Opry almost continuously since 1948. His last performance was Dec. 20 as part of his birthday celebration. He sang “Out Behind The Barn” and delivered his trademark comedy. He had turned 94 a day earlier. “The Grand Ole Opry did not have a better friend than Little Jimmy Dickens,” said Pete Fisher, Opry vice-president and general manager. “He loved the audience and his Opry family, and all of us loved him back. He was a one-of-kind entertainer and a great soul whose spirit will live on for years to come.” His Opry performances in 2009 were sprinkled with humour about his age: “You know you’re 88 when you see a pretty girl in a bikini and your Pacemaker makes the garage door go up.”

Pino Daniele
Italian singer imbued with love of Naples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ROME - Italian singer, songwriter and guitarist Pino Daniele, whose fusion of blues, jazz, rock and traditional Neapolitan music was heavily inspired by both the beauty and ugliness of his native Naples, has died. He was 59. Carlo Saitto, an official at Sant’Eugenio hospital in Rome, told Italian state TV that Daniele died Sunday night after arriving with grave cardiac and respiratory problems. Daniele had a history of heart trouble. Daniele was so identified with Naples that its mayor ordered flags flown at half-staff. Yet his style was also in constant evolution, as he experimented endlessly with blues and jazz. His voice - sexy, bordering on hoarse, alternately soaring or soft - was a distinctive vehicle for songs that often mixed the Neapolitan dialect with Italian and even English. One signature song, riffing on the dialect word for Naples, was “Napule E”’ - a loving tribute to the city’s

fascinating contradictions. Its opening lyrics, in Neapolitan, speak of the city’s thousand colours and thousand fears. In his 1980 hit album “Nero a meta”’ (Half-black), Daniele blended American blues sounds with popular Neapolitan songs. Folding jazz into his work, he performed with stars including Wayne Shorter and Chick Corea. Like his chaotic, port city hometown, Daniele absorbed countless influences. He composed the lyrics and music, including the hit “Quando” (When), for three movies of the late Neapolitan actor-director-comic, Massimo Troisi. Born on March 19, 1955, Giuseppe “Pino” Daniele grew up in a city celebrated for song. His own first song was entitled “Terra Mia” (My Land). The nation’s president and fellow Neapolitan, Giorgio Napolitano, paid tribute to Daniele in a condolence message, saying he made “an original contribution to the musical traditional of his city.”

B.V. repels Braves’ attack, win in OT Smoke Eaters drop bchl
By Jim Bailey
division battles
Times Sports Editor
The Beaver Valley Nitehawks won 4-of-5 games in a seven-day span to take a strangle hold on the Neil Murdoch division of the KIJHL, capping it off with a 6-5 overtime victory over the Spokane Braves on Sunday. The Hawks’ 24th win comes after a 3-2 victory over the Revelstoke Grizzlies on Friday, as well as a 4-1 drubbing of Nelson Tuesday, and a 5-3 victory over Castlegar Rebels on Monday. B.V.’s only loss in the month of December came on Wednesday, a 4-3 New Years Eve setback in Nelson against the Leafs. “We’re fighting some injuries obviously, got a lot of key guys in the stands, and some sickness going around too,” said Nitehawks assistant coach Kevin Limbert. “The boys competed hard on Friday and competed hard this afternoon as well. A lot of guys really stepped up and took the roles that needed to be filled with those key guys out.” With five games in seven days, injuries took their toll on the team following the Christmas break, and the Hawks were without defencemen Lyle Frank and Andrew Miller and forwards Jacob Boyczuk, David Nemes and Jace Weegar. B.V. inserted Blake Sidoni, and Kadrian Klimchuk, into the lineup and the young Kootenay Major Midget Ice players didn’t disappoint as both Sidoni and Klimchuk counted a goal and two assists between them. “Playoff intensity, you know it’s been a playoff atmosphere and we’ve treated this last week as a playoff mentality and the level

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks Allan Pruss can’t sneak this wrap-around past the Spokane Braves goalie, but Pruss would have a three-assist night as the Hawks beat Spokane 6-5 in overtime. of intensity you can expect in two months, so we’re happy with the greasy win.” Defenceman McKoy Hauk netted the winning goal and fellow blue-liner Walker Sidoni had a goal and two assists to lead B.V. to the gritty victory that saw over 40 minutes of penalties called in the game. With 39 seconds remaining in the first overtime period, Hauk’s seemingly harmless point shot deflected off the Braves defenceman skate and by a stunned Spokane goalie Jon Manlow to hand the Braves their fourth overtime loss of the season and drop them to four points back of Castlegar for third place in the division. The win puts the Hawks five points up on Nelson who dropped a 4-3 overtime decision to 100 Mile House Wranglers on Sunday, and a 3-2 decision to Revlestoke on Saturday. Call-up Blake Sidoni opened the scoring for the Nitehawks at 17:18 when the Midget Ice forward jumped on a rebound off a Tyler

Hartman shot and fired it into the open side. Spokane returned the favour 80 seconds later when Kurtis Redding shovelled in his own rebound to tie it at 1-1.

Then with B.V. down two men, Dillon Bogart wired a shot from the slot, high glove side on Carson Schamerhorn to give the Braves a 2-1 edge heading into the second despite being outshot by the Hawks 13-9. Less than six minutes into the middle frame, Hawks forward Kyle Hope ripped a shot by Manlow to tie it, and after Bogart restored the Braves lead by tipping in a Johnny Marzec pass, Hope would score his second of the night

taking a nifty dish from Klimchuck down low, and making a move to the backhand to beat the Braves’ goalie and tie the game once again. Taylor Stafford would give the Hawks the 4-3 lead, after Manlow kicked out a Walker Sidoni point shot, Stafford gathered up the rebound and backhanded it in. Spokane’s Redding would tie it at four before the period was out, as the Nitehawks outshot the Braves 22-12 in the second period alone. Tanner Stoltz put the Braves up 5-4 on a great individual effort, toe-dragging the puck through his legs as he burst by the Hawks d-man, cut in front, then slid the puck through the five-hole of Schamerhorn with 17:14 remaining. But the Hawks would keep coming and Walker Sidoni would get the equalizer jumping up into the play and banging in the loose puck after an Allan Pruss shot was mishandled by Manlow with 11:32 to play.
“I just jumped up into the rush, and Prussy threw it at the net, and I just banged it home – pretty easy,” said Sidoni. “For being away for three months, coming back and stepping in like that feels pretty good.” Despite his late start with the club Sidoni’s veteran presence made an instant impact as the team lost just once since his return Dec. 6. The Trail native has already surpassed his last-year totals of two goals and nine points in 37 games, scoring four times and adding nine assists in just 11 games this season. Sidoni says he’s happy to take on a more offensive role this season, and after the prolonged stretch of success, believes Beaver Valley just may have another championship season in the works. “Every Nitehawk team is different and this year we have four lines that can score on any given night. We don’t have to look to just one or two lines.” said Sidoni. See HAWKS Page 12
The Trail Smoke Eaters came back from a 4-1 deficit in the third period to tie the Vernon Vipers, but the Snakes would not be denied as they netted the winning goal late in the third period to skate to a 6-4 victory on Saturday in Vernon, a day after the Smokies dropped a close 4-3 decision to the Merritt Centennials. With the two close losses, coupled with a 5-3 setback to West Kelowna last Tuesday, the Smoke Eaters fall 14 points out of a playoff spot. “You can always look at factors why you’re not having success,” said coach Nick Deschenes. “We won our first game back, and had a lead against an affiliate goaltender, and we had a lead going into the third against Merritt and had Vernon tied with five minutes left in the game. Easily the past four games we could have had a 3-1 record and instead we’re 1-3 which is exactly where we don’t need to be.” With 3:02 to play in regulation, Thomas Aldworth netted the winning goal, wiring a shot over the shoulder of Smokie goalie Brett Clark from the top of the circle to break a 4-4 tie and an Aldworth empty-net goal would ice it for the Snakes with under a minute to play. The Vipers jumped out to a 2-0 first period lead on goals from Liam Coughlin and Ken Citron, outshooting Trail 21-7 in the period. The Snakes made it 3-0 at 12:54 of the middle frame when Trail defenceman Stephen Penner took a shot off his face and Anthony Latina picked up the loose puck and beat Clark. However, Trail got on the board after Max Newton won a face off in the offensive zone to Conner Browne-Maloski who fired his eighth of the season past Jared Schamerhorn. But Trail native Riley Brandt would put the Vipers up 4-1 beating Clark 1:56 into the third period. Despite Vernon’s dominance on the shot clock, Trail hung in and would mount an unlikely comeback. Two minutes after Brandt’s marker, Scott Davidson would finish a nice setup from Harlan Orr and Penner to make it 4-2. Newton would then net one of his own, taking a pass down low from Nitehawks AP Ross Armour and beat Schamerhorn glove side to make it a onegoal game at 11:12. Then, just 40 seconds later, Brian Basilico tied it with a quick shot from the left side to make it 4-4 on the Smokies 18th shot of the game. The Vipers had a great opportunity to take the lead when Finlay was awarded a penalty shot after Bryan Gerstenfeld’s slash foiled a breakaway opportunity. But Finlay would ring his penalty shot off the crossbar and keep the game tied until Aldworth scored minutes later. The Smoke Eaters have been without the services of Craig Martin, Dallas Calvin, Paulsen Lautard and goaltender Adam Todd, significant holes in a lineup that competes in every game but comes up just short. “They’re difference makers, they’ll go out and score two or three goals a game and that’s what we need right now,” said Smokie forward Jake Lucchini. “Those are the guys that are going to make a difference.” See CENTS, Page 12

Officiating questioned in wild NFL wild-card matches THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Officiating prompted conversation and consternation all season in the NFL, so why should the playoffs - particularly the pass interference call that was, then suddenly wasn’t, in the Cowboys’ wild-card win over the Lions - be any different? There’s actually something ironic about such a ruckus raised by what wound up being a no-call, given that the competition committee’s extra emphasis on, and rewording of, rules governing defensivebackfield play led to an increase in flags. There was one more penalty per game this season than a year ago and the highest rate since 2005, according to STATS. The numbers are skyrocketing in the playoffs: The first four games averaged 13.5 calls, compared to 7.8 from wild-card weekend last season, STATS said. In the NFC, Dallas beat Detroit 24-20,
and Carolina eliminated Arizona 27-16. In the AFC, Indianapolis defeated Cincinnati 26-10, and Baltimore beat Pittsburgh 30-17. On Sunday in Dallas, Detroit was leading 20-17 and facing thirdand-1 with about 8 1/2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, when Cowboys linebacker Anthony Hitchens was flagged while covering Brandon Pettigrew. “Pass interference,” referee Pete Morelli intoned. “Automatic first down.” About 15 seconds later, and with no explanation, Morelli announced, “There is no foul on the play.” On Fox’s broadcast, announcer Joe Buck said: “Boy, that was late.” Then, addressing former head of NFL officiating Mike Pereira, Buck asked, “You ever seen that call picked up that late?” Pereira replied, “Not at all.” Later, Pereira said: “I still strongly believe that was not a good pickup of a flag.”
Afterward, Morelli said the back judge threw a flag, prompting the initial announcement, and the change came because the head linesman then said there wasn’t enough contact to warrant a penalty. Another tidbit: Dallas’ Dez Bryant was not penalized for leaving the sideline without a helmet to approach an official and dispute the initial call. When play resumed, the Lions shanked a punt. Then they were whistled twice for defensive penalties, gave up a 21-yard pass from Tony Romo to Jason Witten on fourthand-6, and let Dallas score the go-ahead TD. “I don’t ever think it comes down to one call,” Detroit coach Jim Caldwell said, “but calls are crucial during games like this.” In case you missed it, here are other top topics after the NFL’s wild-card weekend: AFC: Baltimore is at New England on
Saturday; Indianapolis is at Denver on Sunday. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco might only have one Super Bowl trophy to New England counterpart Tom Brady’s three, but Flacco has won at Foxborough twice in the playoffs. Plus, check out Flacco’s numbers over his past five postseason games: 13 TDs, zero interceptions. One story line will dominate the other game: Denver
QB Peyton Manning against the team he led to a Super Bowl championship and the guy who replaced him in Indy, Andrew Luck. Luck was superb against the Bengals, going 31 of 44 for 376 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions. NFC: Carolina is at the reigning Super Bowl champion Seahawks on Saturday; Dallas is at Green Bay on Sunday. Two terrific defences will meet

FROM PAGE 11 “Especially this little stretch we’ve had with the winning streak, I think we’ve found out what kind of team we are and what we need to do to win.” The Hawks killed off two late penalties as they outshot the Braves 50-30 on the night, going 2-for-7 on the power play while the Braves went 1-for-7. Allan Pruss had a three-point night for the Hawks, while Klimchuk added two assists. Despite the marathon week, Limbert says that fatigue was not much of an issue. “I think our pace was pretty good. Spokane played us really hard today, and I was really impressed with how Revelstoke played us on Friday. They played a really tough, competitive game, they were physical and on the body. You have to find ways to win those games.” On Friday, the Hawks trailed the Grizzlies 2-1 heading into the third period, but Allan Pruss would tie it at 14:41 and Tyler Leicht would net the winner with just over 12 minutes to play in the final frame. Leicht was named player of the game for the Hawks as B.V. outshot Revelstoke 31-30 on the night. The Nitehawks next face the Braves in Spokane on Friday and return to the Hawks Nest Saturday for a game against the Grand Forks Border Bruins at 7:30 p.m.
in Seattle, while the offences will get attention in the Cowboys’ first post-season game at the Packers since the 1967 Ice Bowl. Romo and Dallas went 8-0 on the road in the regular season; Packers QB Aaron Rodgers hasn’t thrown an interception at home since December 2012. KEY INJURIES: Absences were cru-
cial to three of the four wild-card games. Arizona used thirdstring quarterback Ryan Lindley and produced 78 yards, the fewest in NFL post-season history; Pittsburgh was without Le’Veon Bell and its running backs gained only 43 yards; Cincinnati sorely missed its top two passcatchers, A.J. Green and Jermaine Gresham.

On Friday in Merritt, Nelson native Cole Arcuri set up the winning goal as the Merritt Centennials came back from a 3-2 third-period deficit to defeat the Smoke Eaters 4-3. Jake Lucchini, Basilico and Cooper Leitch scored for Trail, while AP Brock Lefebvre took the loss in net. Trail next travels to Salmon Arm to take on the Silverbacks on Wednesday, before returning to the Cominco Arena to play Alberni Valley on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

TORONTO - Hockey Canada has expressed its commitment to Montreal as a co-host city for the 2017 world junior championship despite attendance concerns at this year’s tournament. Hockey Canada president and CEO Tom Renney said the organization was “deeply committed” to Montreal even as the IIHF said it would keep all options open for the tournament two years from now. Toronto is set to host Canada’s prelim-
inary-round games and Montreal the knockout round in 2017, flipping from this year. Several thousand empty seats for Canadian games at Bell Centre drew criticism. IIHF president Rene Fasel said Hockey Canada was responsible setting ticket prices. Renney only took over for Bob Nicholson this past summer and deferred comment on ticket prices and attendance until Hockey Canada can review the situation.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Hollywood kicked off the New Year on a positive note, with three films vying closely for the weekend box-office title that nevertheless remained with “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” for the third straight week. Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth finale took in $21.9 million for Warner Bros. in North American theatres, according to studio estimates Sunday, narrowly edging out the Disney musical “Into the Woods” ($19.1 million) and Angelina Jolie’s World War II tale “Unbroken” ($18.4 million) from Universal. The weekend’s lone new wide-release, the Relativity Media horror sequel “The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death,” landed in fourth place with $15.1 million. The first weekend of 2015 gave Hollywood the chance to begin turning the page on a rough 2014 in which box-office revenue slid 5 per cent and attendance dropped to its lowest level in nearly 20 years. With a closely contested weekend at the multiplexes, overall business was strong, up 5.5 per cent from the same weekend last year, according to box-office firm Rentrak. In its second week of limited release, Sony Pictures’ “The Interview” earned an estimated $1.1 million theatrically. In its first four days of online streaming and sale, the comedy made $15 million, Sony said last week. Since then, the film has expanded to videoon-demand via cable operators and on more digital platforms like Apple’s iTunes. Playing at 754 theatres, “The Imitation Game,” the Weinstein Co.’s code-breaker thriller about World War II hero Alan Turing took in $8.1 million in its sixth week. (By comparison, “The Hobbit” played at more than 3,800 theatres.) The Reese Witherspoon drama “Wild” also added $4.5 million for a five-week $25.8 million total for Fox Searchlight. Opening in limited release at four locations, J.C. Chandor’s New York thriller “A Most Violent Year” debuted with a theatre average of $47,000. Demand, though, was strongest for “American Sniper,” Clint Eastwood’s drama about Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper). In its second week playing in just four theatres, “American Sniper” attracted a remarkable $160,000 perscreen-average. The film opens wide on January 16.

Netflix denies it’s MONday & Movies blocking content MONDAY EVENING
THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Netflix says it hasn’t changed its policy on users who try to access content licensed for streaming in other countries. The policy is that users shouldn’t be doing it. It’s widely known that Canadian Netflix users can access TV shows and movies licensed for the American market by using a free or subscriptionbased online service. The popular tools mask a user’s true location and trick Netflix - or other websites - into believing the user is actually somewhere else in the world, where different content is available to stream. A news story on TorrentFreak.com suggested that Netflix has recently begun cracking down on those location-altering services. Netflix declined an interview request but released a statement saying it hasn’t changed its policies on restricting access to content based on geography. “Virtually crossing borders to use Netflix is a violation of our terms of use because of content licensing restrictions. We employ industry standard measures to prevent this kind of use. There hasn’t been any recent changes to the Netflix VPN policy or terms of use,” reads the statement.
College football playoffs make cable TV history THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BRISTOL, Conn. - The first College Football Playoff semifinals drew the two largest audiences in cable television history. ESPN had a 15.2 rating and averaged 28,271,000 viewers for its Sugar Bowl broadcast Thursday night after drawing a 14.8 rating and averaging 28,164,000 viewers for the Rose Bowl, Nielsen said Friday. Both games had significant increases from last year on ESPN when the Rose Bowl had a 10.2 rating and averaged 18,636,000 viewers and the Sugar Bowl had a 6.6 rating and averaged 11,304,000 viewers. ESPN also will broadcast the Jan. 12 national championship game between Oregon and Ohio State.

Do not let son visit friend’s home unsupervised Mailbox
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
Way Too Fast Dear Growing: Some single parents are so overwhelmed with parenting responsibilities and guilt about the separation that they set no boundaries for their children. They think this makes the child happy, but in reality, it undermines the child’s level of security -- if Mommy and Daddy don’t care what he does, does that mean they don’t love him? Please talk to Georgia. Tell her that these things are inappropriate for her son and it makes it difficult for you to allow him to play with your child. But ultimately, you cannot control
there a school counselor or favorite teacher you can talk to about this? What about an adult relative or neighbor? It would help for you to discuss this with someone who can be understanding and who also might be willing to talk to your parents about it. Dear Annie: I would like to add to your response to “Actively Confused,” whose wife had cancer and now resents her husband’s activities. In my 45 years as a hospital chaplain, I have known many people who accept and adjust to life-threatening illness, often in quite surprising and courageous fashion. Others view themselves as victims or seek “secondary gain” through their illness. This is not a judgment on them. They, like “Actively Confused’s” wife, are dealing with their situation the best way they know. Your suggestion
that they speak to her oncologist is a good start. But she and her husband also need education, counseling and support. Some oncologists have social workers and counselors on their staffs. Some make referrals to chaplains or to peer support groups.
This couple could benefit from guidance that will help them become active fighters, advocates for themselves and teammates in the treatment process. Keep up your good work, Annie. You are a godsend for those who reach out to you.
-- Chaplain Jack Dear Chaplain Jack: Thank you for the kind words and the excellent addition to our advice. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

what Georgia does. You can only explain to your son that these things will not be tolerated by you. Do not let him go to Georgia’s home without your supervision. When the children are with you, make sure they are not playing R-rated video games or watching adult programming. And limit contact when you can. Dear Annie: I am always being compared to my older sister. I am 14, and whenever I get bad grades, they always say, “Be more like your sister.” I hate it and am sick and tired of it. No one understands. I try my best, but I still get compared to her.

Dear Annie: My lifelong friend “Georgia” has a 7-year-old son who frequently plays with my 6-year-old. Georgia and her husband are divorced and share custody. The problem is, I fear her son is being exposed to things that are not appropriate for his age. He plays adult video games, and both parents allow him to watch frightening, sexually suggestive adult TV shows. The boy has made several inappropriate comments and gestures to me. The father doesn’t seem to notice. I do not want my son exposed to any of this. But I also want to help Georgia’s son, as I feel this could have damaging long-term effects. My son adores this boy and gets upset when I try to discourage interaction between them. Georgia lives nearby, and when her son is at her house, it is difficult to keep them apart. Any advice? -- Growing Up

Business Marc Caira
Former Tim Hortons CEO named business Newsmaker of the Year THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Debate over the marriage of doughnuts and burgers unfolded in Canadian coffee shops and the corridors of power in Washington, as seemingly everyone had something to say about the pairing of Tim Hortons and Burger King in 2014. The US$11-billion deal helped Tim Hortons’ former chief executive Marc Caira secure the title of The Canadian Press Business Newsmaker of the Year for 2014, in an annual survey of editors and broadcasters. “Caira (love him or not) did something major and unexpected this year. Now coffee drinkers, and coffee servers, will have to wait for the consequences,” said Doug Cudmore, business editor at the Toronto Star. Caira received 18 of the votes from 50 editors and news directors across the country who participated in the annual survey. He was trailed by TransCanada chief executive Russ Girling with 13 votes, and Guy Laurence, the new head of Rogers Communications, with seven votes. Outside the Top 3, federal finance minister Joe Oliver and Bank of Canada head Stephen Poloz each received four votes, while Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. (TSX:CP) chief executive Hunter Harrison, the late Jim Flaherty, former Quebecor publisher Pierre Karl Peladeau and the latest head of Quebecor, Pierre Dion, each received one vote. But it was Caira and his role in negotiating the deal to sell Tim Hortons just as the chain prepared for its 50th anniversary that topped the list. “There was an unexpected shock Hortons was being sold at all and also being sold to an American company,” said Warren Beck, news director at 1380 CKPC and The Jewel 92. The takeover didn’t just make news in Canada. Miami-based Burger King Worldwide Inc. faced criticism in the U.S. by some who perceived the deal to be hinged on relocating its head office to Canada for a lower tax bill, a practice known as a corporate tax inversion. The company denied paying lower taxes was even one of its considerations for buying the Canadian coffee chain, but it added fuel to a debate in Washington. New regulations were enacted last fall to remove some benefits for U.S. companies, and make the tax inversion process more difficult, but the Tim Hortons takeover was already sealed. Tim Hortons wasn’t shopping for a suitor last March when Burger King made its first offer, but Caira was a willing participant in the courting process and pushed for the U.S. chain to increase its bid three times. For about five months, he quietly negotiated alongside his board, while making changes at Tim Hortons designed to inject new energy into menu boards that had grown stale over the years. Caira offered a different perspective on the business, coming from a background at food and beverage manufacturer Nestle. His knowledge allowed him to focus on what he did best, and let the rest of the management team dedicate time to their priorities. “I don’t have to be strong operationally, I bring strengths in other areas,” Caira said in a conversation about his career held by Foodservice and Hospitality Magazine last May. “My responsibility is to build on the solid foundation that this brand enjoys today and try to bring it to the next level - not alone, but with the help of my colleagues.” Caira, born in Cosenza, Italy, graduated from Seneca College in Toronto and immediately began his career at Nestle for an annual salary of $12,500, though he admits he was mostly attracted by the perk of a company car.
Stocks Year In Review
Expectations are modest for Canada’s markets in 2015 Malcolm Morrison THE CANADIAN PRESS
The Toronto stock market is expected to advance modestly during 2015 but with much less reliance on the energy sector after oil and gas companies sold off in a year-end rout amid tumbling oil prices. Analysts say the lift will come from two of this year's best-performing sectors — consumer and industrial stocks — that will benefit from an improving U.S. economy, lower oil prices and a Canadian currency that has been buffeted by falling commodity prices. “Lower oil prices end up being a massive fiscal boost and it's going to benefit consumers and transportation companies, railways, airlines, things like that,” said Paul Vaillancourt, executive vicepresident of private wealth at Fiera Capital in Calgary, noting that a weaker Canadian dollar benefits industrials, lumber, and housing. The TSX had been up almost 15 per cent year to date at mid-summer, but was on course to end 2014 with a gain of about half that figure. Just before yearend, the index was up about 1,000 points or 7.5 per cent for the year.
have a lot of room to fall. “Lots of supply, weak demand, that's a recipe for falling commodity prices,” said John Stephenson, president and CEO of Stephenson and Co. “And the places that have typically consumed it, such as the U.S., are clearly moving forward in terms of their production.” Another major pillar, the base metals sector, fell about 15 per cent and will continue to be pressured by a weak global economy and in particular, a slowdown in the Chinese economy. But the consumer staples sector, which includes the big grocery and food companies such as Metro and George Weston, jumped 45 per cent on the expectation families will have more disposable income to spend now that gasoline prices have dropped. “So we're seeing that reflected in consumer stocks where they have outperformed the market, certainly the energy stocks, and reflecting an environment where people are selling oil stocks, out of energy and into anything else,” said Colum McKinley, Canadian equities manager at CIBC Asset Management.
U.S. markets had a better year with the Dow up 1,500 points or 8.9 per cent and the S&P 500 ahead 13 per cent, even as the Federal Reserve wrapped up its massive program of buying bonds and mortgage-backed securities that kept longterm interest rates low. Expectations are the Bank of Canada will move to hike rates next year after the Fed starts to increase rates for the first time since the 2008 financial collapse. But the central bank may decide to wait even longer depending on the damage caused to Canadian economic growth by tumbling oil prices. Performance on the Toronto market varied greatly during 2014. The TSX energy sector, which makes up about 23 per cent of the TSX, skidded almost 18 per cent for the year, reflecting a drop of about 50 per cent in crude prices since mid-summer as the global economic outlook darkened amid a oversupply and a decision by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to leave production levels unchanged. Expectations for the sector are muted this year, as analysts believe oil prices still

Helping hands Guy Bertrand photo
Monday morning’s commute needed a helping hand as this driver gets some much needed help from passers-by after he was stuck turning on to Cedar Ave. in downtown Trail. Eventually a city truck was needed to give him a push off the snow buildup at the intersection.
