Costs tallied for civic election

FIRST KELOWNA FLIGHT ARRIVES AT TRAIL AIRPORT

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Welcoming in the first regularly scheduled Kelowna-to-Trail flight was a red carpet, blue ribbon affair Monday afternoon. Sam Sammadar, airport director for the Kelowna International Airport (left) looked on as Trail Mayor Mike Martin held the ribbon while Kirstey Tichauer, Pacific Coastal Airline's base supervisor, made the ceremonial cut.

The civic elections from Rossland to Trail and through the Beaver Valley cost local taxpayers about $45,000. However, when the sum is broken down into the five communities, the price per ballot ranges considerably. Size doesn't matter when looking at the final tally from each city or village. Rather, it's more about how many people seized the Nov. 15 opportunity to cast a vote for their favourite politician. While Fruitvale's cost, about $8,500, fell midrange on the list of the five municipalities, the price for each vote is the highest because only about one in four eligible electors showed up. With a 23 per cent voter turnout, or 390 from a pool of 1,722, each ballot cost taxpayers $21.86. Montrose has half the electorate of Fruitvale, and spent $4,260 on the election. Due to a better turnout, about 38 per cent, or 323 votes from 838 eligibles, the village's cost per ballot is considerably less at $13.19. Next up is Warfield. That village hadn't held an election since 2009. So whether it was the chance to vote or the spirited three-way mayoral race – just over 57 per cent of the electorate body paid a visit to the Warfield polling station to have their say. That translates to $8.95 per ballot, with 677 ballots cast from a pool of approximately 1,175. Of all the municipalities Rossland had the highest voter turnout of 59 per cent – and the lowest cost per ballot, $5.74. Election costs for the city tallied at about $9,200 for 1606 residents to cast a vote. Here's where the trend seems to end – because in Trail, the cost per ballot averages out to be the second lowest or $5.90, but the voter turnout was about 50 per cent. Granted that number is up almost 20 per cent since the 2011 election, Trail doesn't fall into the general trend. See VOTING, Page 3

Secret of life – veggies and independence Rose Taylor recently celebrated her 100th birthday By Liz Bevan Times Staff

Big changes have happened over the last century, and Rose Taylor has seen them all. Born in 1914, Taylor recently celebrated her 100th birthday on Dec. 29 and one of the most memorable changes she saw in the past century? Cars. “I don't know (what the biggest change was),” she said from her room in Rose Wood Village in Trail. “(But), the buggy to the car to the airplane (was big).” Rose's granddaughterin-law, Shirley Taylor, says the centenarian used to ride a buggy to get to school when she was growing up in Rosemont, Saskatchewan. From buggies to cars, Rose has a few tips for those who want to live to see 100 years of happenings – eat your vegetables and stay independent. “It's been a long time,” she said. “But oh, yes, lots of vegetables (and lots of) homemade bread.” Rose baked her own bread until she was 96 years old and now, Shirley brings her a bit of the loaves she bakes at home along with homemade cinnamon buns. Shirley says throughout Rose's 100 years, she has always made her own decisions and took charge, con-

Taylor's family has lived all over the Greater Trail area over the next few decades, settling in Rossland for a while, and then back

They move away and it is hard to keep track sometimes.” Apparently, it isn't uncommon for the women in the Taylor family to live a long and illustrious life. “All the women in her family tend to live to be over 90 years old,” said Shirley, adding that the later years are high-quality years for the Taylor women. “She is always walking around and is always busy (into her old age).”

Christina Lake gets $20,000 grant By Craig Lindsay Grand Forks Gazette

After receiving a funding grant from the province, Christina Lake will be looking at strategies for improving life for seniors in the area. The Lake, through the Regional District of the Kootenay Boundary (RDKB), was one of 28 communities across B.C. to be awarded an age-friendly community planning and project grant. The grants are aimed at supporting strategies to help seniors stay mobile, physically active, socially connected and healthy. Christina Lake received the maximum allotment of $20,000 for a project titled “Charting a course for an age-friendly Christina Lake.” Grace McGregor, RDKB chair and

to the Beaver Valley in 1971, where she lived in Montrose until moving into the Rose Wood Village care facility. Some of the changes the 100-year-old has gotten to see first hand are within her own family. Rose has the pleasure of enjoying four generations of children and family. Rose's grandson, Don Taylor, says she has too many relatives to count. “She had three kids, two boys and a girl, and then had seven grandkids,” he said. “There are lots of great

committee on what kind of questions we need to ask and that kind of thing,” said McGregor. McGregor said that currently the Lake does not have any senior’s housing units but it is an issue that have looked at before. She said they’ve been looking into senior’s housing in the area for more than seven years but all their information is becoming out of date so the grant comes at a perfect time. “We need to update that information and go back to the drawing board and have a different look at what Christina Lake expects. I’m really happy about receiving the money at this time because it really helps us do it right and it helps us involve the whole community.”

Seniors calendar a big hit in Beaver Valley Hollywood-themed effort raises over $6,000 By Liz Bevan Times Staff

Seniors in the Beaver Valley have raised over $6,000 with their Old Hollywood-themed calendar. Back in October, volunteers got into costumes and recreated scenes from classic Hollywood movies, such as “Singin' in the Rain,” “Casablanca” and “Grease” - a different movie for every month. The photos were compiled into a 2015 calendar and sold to raise money for field trips and activities for the seniors. The calendars raised $6,110.03 in total and although the money hasn't been spent yet, Beaver Valley seniors are already looking forward to the next photo shoot they can volunteer for. Fruitvale Mayor Patricia Cecchini has been hearing from the local seniors, wondering when they can pose for the 2016 calendar. “We already have lots of people who want to volunteer,” she said, adding that a theme for the next project hasn't been picked yet. “It will all be driven by the seniors and what they want. They are really

eager to do it again.” The final decision on theme will be left up to the participants, but Mayor Cecchini is hoping for something new in 2016. “We haven't had that discussion yet, but I am thinking we are going to have a new theme,” she said. “The committee will get together this month and we'll figure it all out.” As for spending the funds raised from this year's calendar sales, Cecchini says the trips, activities and outings will all be planned by the seniors at the monthly luncheon and tea hosted at the Fruitvale Memorial Hall. The fundraiser has garnered plenty of attention, bolstering a community feel in the Beaver Valley. “It wasn't only a great fundraiser, but it was great for the community and great for families in the area as well,” she said. “It should be noted that we were able to raise that amount of funds due to the generosity of those that sponsored the production of the calendars.” As of press time, there were only three calendars of the hundreds printed left for purchase. To inquire about buying one of the remaining calendars, call the Fruitvale Village office at 250-367-7551.

Final week for drop-off

Ymir

Dog control issue rises again By Tamara Hynd Nelson Star

The question of animal control in Ymir has come up again after a property owner said his dog suffered injuries from another dog on New Year’s Day. “My dog was viciously attacked in Ymir and required 27 stitches at the vet,” said Harlan Thomas. “This is not the first time that this has occurred, including a dog attack on my father that broke his hip. My father never came home from the hospital. The dog problem in Ymir needs to be addressed.” On the Ymir Town Facebook page, there were several comments made about the issue of dogs running at large at various times of the year, leading one parent to bring a baseball bat while going for a walk with her children. “[Dog control] is not an uncommon issue,” said Area G director Hans Cunningham. “There have been quite a number of incidents.”

Christmas trees are piling up at drop-off sites around Trail now that the holiday season is over. This is the last week to drop off old trees at the designated spots. J.L. Crowe students will be collecting the trees on Saturday and Sunday for disposal. Organizers ask that all plastic and ornaments be removed from the trees before being dropped off. There are drop-off spots at Butler Park, Gyro Park, Tadanac and more.

Ymir is part of Electoral Area G in the Regional District of Central Kootenay and currently has no animal control bylaws. Any new services, which can include dog control, must be voted on by residents. Cunningham estimates that with roughly 113 families, the cost to enforce an animal control bylaw would likely amount to a $50 to $60 annual tax increase for residents. “We can’t force people to pay for a service they don’t want. Even when it was $35 years ago, residents voted against it. From my reading, 80 per cent of Ymir residents are against dog control,” said Cunningham. “I can’t go against the peoples wishes.” Speaking to the injury of Thomas’ dog, Cunningham said, “I understand the issue with the dog, I really do. That’s pretty awful.” Cunningham said one option is for residents to talk to people in town and convince them to vote for animal control bylaw as it is a people-driven process.

Here’s hoping this New Year outshines all the rest! It’s been a delight doing business with you all year and we thank you for your patronage. Friends like you make us especially grateful to be a part of this wonderful community. May the coming year shower you with all the happiness and good fortune you deserve. Happy New year!

Voting machines help cut costs

FROM PAGE 1 Besides eliminating the chance of human error, the city’s two automated voting machines could be attributed to the cost savings. The manual count (this year 2,792 ballots cast from a 5,623 pool) would take several hours after the 8 p.m. close of polls, explained Michelle McIsaac, Trail’s chief election officer. “So there is some savings in that the poll clerks are done and have supplies packed up within about 30 minutes of the close of polls rather than working through until 11 or 11:30 p.m.” Without the voting machine, election officials, who have been at the polls for 12 hours, would have to then start the manual count. “There is opportunity to record or tally incorrectly,” she added. If a vote is close and

affects the outcome of the election, as was the case in Rossland this year, then the manual count has to be redone to ensure it wasn’t a case of human error. The Rossland recount took about an hour, said Tracey Butler, Rossland’s corporate and chief election officer. “Rossland would love to have a voting machine as long as it is not cost prohibitive,” noted Butler. “That will be a budget item when we get closer to the next election.” In a larger centre like Kelowna, the single largest cost is staffing on election day and for the advance polls, says City Clerk Stephen Fleming. The city’s total cost was approximately $158,000 and even though voter turnout was only 30 per cent, the price per ballot averaged $5.32. In Vancouver, the bud-

get to run the election was $2.1 million, in addition, to $600,000 allotted for new technology, explained Tobin Postma, Vancouver’s communications manager. “That is, the leasing of new voting machines and the technology to support vote anywhere – including the accessibility aids,” he said. “We want to make voting convenient and as easy as possible. Some of the larger election operating costs are for the 1500 election workers to prepare the election and staff the voting places, and printing and postage of voting materials (voting card and candidate info).” According to the Civic Info BC website, about 182,000 in Vancouver cast a vote, or approximately 44 per cent of the populace, which averages the price per ballot in that city at $14.86.

LNG plans continue despite oil slump By Tom Fletcher Black Press

The shakeout of liquefied natural gas proposals for B.C. continues, with ExxonMobil’s large-scale project for Prince Rupert moving ahead and smaller projects changing or withdrawing plans. ExxonMobil and its Canadian subsidiary Imperial Oil have filed a detailed description with B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office, planning for a cityowned site on Tuck Inlet north of Prince Rupert Harbour. One of the larger of 18 B.C. proposals, West Coast Canada LNG (WCC LNG) proposes up to five floating barges for LNG loading with onshore support facilities, and an estimated capital cost of $15-25 billion. WCC LNG plans to start construction by 2017 and be in service by 2024.

WCC LNG sorted through a half dozen sites in the Kitimat and Prince Rupert area, where the larger of B.C.’s 18 current LNG export proposals are also claiming sites. Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman says 2015 is when the LNG industry begins to take shape, despite a slump in oil prices and rising competition from U.S. and other gas producers. “New drilling activity in our upstream sector demonstrates investors remain confident in B.C.’s longterm natural gas potential,” Coleman said in a New Year commentary released last week. “One of our province’s largest Crown land sales in history occurred near the end of 2014, with industry contributing more than $209 million for exploration right alone.” Proponents of Aurora LNG Grassy

Point near Prince Rupert withdrew that application to start the year, focusing on another site at Digby Island. Also withdrawn is the Farrell Creek raw gas processing plant north of Hudson’s Hope, a project taken over by Chinese-owned Progress Energy. Progress is a partner with PETRONAS in Pacific Northwest LNG at Lelu Island near Prince Rupert, with its investment decision postponed indefinitely late last year amid changing global energy supply and demand. Woodfibre LNG near Squamish is another small-scale project moving ahead, with its application for B.C. environmental assessment accepted at the end of 2014. The public comment period closed for another large-scale proposal, the Shell-led LNG Canada proposal for Kitimat.

Perjury case proceeds THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A judge has rejected an RCMP officer’s attempt to have a perjury case thrown out related to the inquiry into the death of Robert Dziekanski. Const. Kwesi Millington was charged with perjury over his testimony at a public inquiry that examined what happened when Dziekanski was stunned with a Taser and died at Vancouver’s airport. Millington was among four officers who confronted Dziekanski at the airport, and the Crown alleged the officers then colluded to lie about what happened, first to investigators and then at the inquiry. The Crown wrapped up its case late last year and Millington’s lawyer asked the judge to end the trial and throw out the case.

Two-tiered pool fees sunk Three ice climbers found dead in crevasse Whistler

THE CANADIAN PRESS PEMBERTON, B.C. - Three ice climbers have been found dead near Whistler, B.C., north of Vancouver. The bodies of the two women and a man were discovered in a crevasse about 300 metres below Joffre

Peak. RCMP Sgt. Rob Knapton said one woman and a man were in their mid-30s and that the other woman was an international visitor in her late 20s. They were part of a group of three climb-

ers and two skiers on the mountain in the Pemberton area, and had set off into the backcountry on Sunday before splitting up, Knapton said. “They were supposed to rendezvous at the end of the day, and when they

Police and a search and rescue crew found all three bodies close to each other, and it’s possible the skiers didn’t see them all in the dark, Knapton said.

“It appears they fell, but as far as why I couldn’t speculate on that.” The climbers were all experienced, Knapton said, adding anyone who ventures into the backcountry should be aware of the risks involved. Police have not yet been able to contact the families of all the climbers, whose names will be released later by the coroners’ service.

G20 trial calls for chief THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - It is vital that Toronto’s police chief explain his involvement in a senior officer’s decision to order mass arrests during the city’s tumultuous G20 summit, lawyers for complainants in a disciplinary hearing on the matter argued on Monday. But counsel for police Chief Bill Blair and his former deputy police chief sought to prevent the two top officers from being called to testify in the case of Supt. David Fenton, arguing their evidence would be irrelevant and that the police chief could not be compelled to appear. Fenton has pleaded not guilty to five Police Services Act charges stemming from two “kettling” incidents that occurred over the summit weekend in 2010 and resulted in the largest peacetime arrests in Canadian history. “Supt. Fenton appears to be running a Nuremberg defence in saying that he was simply following orders, that appears to be where he appears to be going with this,” explained Sean Dewart, who made the request for Blair and Warr to be called before the hearing.

Oilsands slow down THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - Shell Canada Ltd. says it is reducing its workforce at its Albian Sands oilsands operations near Fort McMurray, Alta. A company spokesman says the cuts will affect less than 10 per cent of its 3,000-plus workforce at the Muskeg River and Jackpine oilsands mines. Cameron Yost says the actual number of reductions hasn’t been determined and most of the people who will be affected will be salaried employees. He says the cuts are to ensure that Shell’s oilsands business remains competitive and continues to thrive. Yost says in some cases people will be considered for jobs elsewhere in Shell’s global operations. Shell says its Albian Sands mining operations account for 17 per cent of Canada’s total oil production. “We have taken a decision to adjust our Albian Sands organization to ensure that we have got the right number of people in the right positions,” Yost said.

Dentistry classes resume THE CANADIAN PRESS HALIFAX - Classes are set to resume at Dalhousie University’s dentistry school, but some students will not be allowed to attend with their classmates. Thirteen male dentistry students have been told to attend classes remotely after being linked to a Facebook page containing sexually violent content about women. University president Richard Florizone said Friday that the men will not be allowed to sit in on lectures with the rest of their classmates while investigations into the matter are underway. The 13 students had their clinical privileges suspended earlier in the week. The university also said over the weekend that it would not proceed with a complaint filed against the Facebook group by four professors.

Lac-Megantic settlement not enough: mayor THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - The funds earmarked for those affected by the Lac-Megantic train disaster represent just a fraction of what’s needed, a town official says. A US$200-million settlement was announced last week, with more than onehalf of the money going to various levels of government. As it stands, about $50 million is destined for relatives of the 47 people who died in the July 2013 disaster, although the amount could rise. Given the magnitude of the tragedy, which also left the community’s downtown core a fire-ravaged mess, the town’s deputy mayor says what seems like a large

sum of money isn’t very much. “Two hundred million can seem like a lot of money but in my opinion, it’s very little,” Richard Michaud said in a phone interview Monday. “Much more than $200 million has been injected by the federal and provincial government to decontaminate the devastated territory alone, and we’re not even talking about reconstruction.” A runaway train hauling tanker cars loaded with volatile crude oil broke loose and barrelled into the town in the early morning hours of July 6, 2013, before derailing and exploding. The families of the victims will share in the settlement money,

which is “very little considering there are more than 20 orphans who must rebuild their lives,” Michaud said. “It will help the families and the governments - but it’s not an astronomical sum.” The settlement involves the Montreal Maine and Atlantic Canada Co., its insurance carrier, rail-car manufacturers and some oil producers. Three major companies have declined to participate - World Fuel Services, Canadian Pacific Railway and Irving Oil. U.S. bankruptcy trustee Robert Keach is hoping the $200 million amount rises considerably before final approval of the plan in U.S. and Canadian courts.

Manitoba premier steadfast in PST change THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger is sticking with his commitment to the provincial sales tax hike that some believe is the reason he’s fighting to keep his job as leader of the province’s NDP. Selinger, who opened his campaign office in Winnipeg on Saturday, says he has listened to Manitobans and they’ve told him they want that money going to infrastructure. Leadership challenger Theresa Oswald has said she would set up a PST rebate for low-income families, while fellow challenger Steve Ashton has promised a referendum on the sales tax. The governing New Democrats plummeted in opinion polls in 2013 after raising the provincial sales tax to eight per cent from seven. Selinger says in the first year of the tax, the province gained 8,100 new jobs and saw an additional economic growth of over $1 billion dollars. The leadership race was called after a caucus revolt last year. The party will vote on the leadership March

“If we can create good jobs and respond to the priorities of Manitobans, we’ll phase it out after 10 years. We’re in the second year of the program, so it’s got eight more years to go,” Selinger said about the tax on Saturday. Oswald, who was one of five senior cabinet ministers who resigned their port-

folios in November after suggesting Selinger should quit in order to help the party, has said she had serious concerns about the PST even though she voted for it. But she has said it wouldn’t be wise to revoke the hike now because it’s being used to leverage dollars from the federal government through the Building Canada Fund.

Keach, a courtappointed trustee in the defunct railroad’s bankruptcy case in Maine, said the draft sets aside about $50 million of the $200 million pool for wrongful death claims, which could increase through a reallocation of the federal government’s share to as much as $57 million. Up to $29 million could go to property damage, while another $19 million could go to bodily injury and moral damage claims, Keach said. Those amounts reflect a possible reallocation of the federal government’s take. As it currently stands, more than 52 per cent of the overall funds would go to provincial, federal and municipal governments. The formulas could change if the amount goes up. “This is only a draft, so there are separate but parallel processes on both sides of the border,” Keach said. “The hope is we’ll have all the approval orders in place in early to mid-April so we could

have a distribution in place by June or July. “We are hoping (the final amount) grows between now and then, but the deadline for it growing is going to be those final hearings,” he added. The case was put off on Monday until mid-May by a judge in Sherbrooke, Que. Yannick Gagne, owner of the MusiCafe, a business that was destroyed and where the majority of the victims died, said money won’t bring back the lives lost but could help with the relaunch of the downtown. Plenty more money will be required, however, to rebuild the town centre essentially from scratch, he said in an interview. Reconstruction costs are significant and Gagne himself has taken out loans, used insurance money and paid out of pocket. He also spent seven months out of work. Lac-Megantic Mayor Colette Roy Laroche said on the weekend the estimated cost of rebuilding the town is about $2 billion.

o our old acquaintances, and the ones we have yet to make, we wish a very happy and healthy year filled with much joy, contentment and prosperity. It’s been a pleasure serving folks like you, and we look forward to see you again! 250.364.1816 1475 Cedar Ave., Trail

The battle for Kennewick Man

y Christmas reading included a fascinating new book called “Kennewick Man,” a study of skeletal remains discovered in 1996 on the bank of the Columbia River in eastern Washington. He was an ancient hunter buried just south of B.C. almost 9,000 years ago, in the Early Holocene period following the last Ice Age. Among the oldest humans found along the West Coast of North America, he sparked an unprecedented battle by the Smithsonian Institution to examine the skeleton and publish the book late last year. The most controversial evidence came from the skull. It doesn’t match the classic Mongoloid profile of modern aboriginal people, key to the theory that the earliest humans reached North America by land bridge from Siberia to Alaska as glaciers receded. Smithsonian scientists

confirmed initial reports that Kennewick Man is a closer match with early Polynesians, and the Ainu people who remain in Japan today. He lived until about age 40, surviving for years with a stone spear point stuck in his hip. The authors conclude from chemical analysis that “Kennewick Man could not have been a long-time resident of the area where he was found, but instead lived most of his adult life somewhere along the Northwest and North Pacific coast where marine mammals were readily available.” This suggests migration by sea, perhaps from a great distance. The U.S. Army seized the skeleton. The scientists sued and eventually won the right to a brief examination. The court case exposed brutal and illegal actions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and federal departments to destroy the site and intimidate the

FLETCHER B.C. Views

scientists. U.S. law demanded all remains from before European settlement be repatriated for burial by local tribes, without examination. Umatilla tribe spokesman Armand Minthorn wrote in 1996: “We view this practice as desecration of the body and a violation of our most deeplyheld religious beliefs. “From our oral histories, we know that our people have been part of this land since the beginning of time. We do not believe that our people migrated here from

another continent, as the scientists do.” The head of the Society for American Archaeology tried to get the researchers to drop their lawsuit, fearing it would interfere with fragile relationships with area tribes. The U.S. Justice Department warned the Smithsonian that lead scientist Douglas Owsley and others might be in criminal conflict of interest as federal employees suing the government. Even the White House weighed in against them. Meanwhile the skeleton was mishandled and later stored in substandard conditions at a Seattle museum, where it remains today. Parts of both femurs were lost, and scientists were falsely accused of taking them. They had been removed by tribal representatives and secretly buried. Kennewick Man was found as the army was in tense negotiations with tribes on salmon fishing rights on the Columbia,

their demand for removal of dams, and the $100 billion cleanup of the Hanford nuclear site. The scientists finally won their case in 2004, with a ruling that the skeleton is so old there isn’t enough evidence to show it is related to the current tribes. The judge found the army repeatedly misled the court, and assessed the government $2.4 million in costs. The U.S. Army still controls the skeleton and denies requests for further study. The spear point, for example, could show the location where he was injured. One final irony. Analysis shows Kennewick Man ate mostly salmon in his later years, around 6300 BCE. These are the salmon runs wiped out by dams built by U.S. Army engineers before the signing of the Columbia River Treaty with B.C. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PASADENA, Calif. - CBS says that Stephen Colbert will begin as host of the “Late Show” on Sept. 8. The network’s entertainment chief, Nina Tassler, on Monday announced Colbert’s debut. Last month CBS said that David Letterman’s last show before his retirement will be broadcast on May 20. Tassler said that CBS will air reruns of its prime-time programming in the 11:35 p.m. EST time slot during the period between Letterman’s exit and Colbert’s start. That contrasts with the interim period before James Corden starts at the “Late Late Show,” which has been filled with guest hosts doing the late-night show.

Letters & Opinion Letters to the editor

Happy anniversary Trail Times I would like to congratulate the Trail Daily Times (yes, it’s still “Daily” to me) plus all current and past staff members for the 120 years of service to this community. I am proud to have played a small part in the creation of one of B.C.’s best newspapers. Seeing the 10 smiling faces on the cover of the Jan. 2 issue made me think about the 12 people who worked in a similar office in a bigger city across the world. Similar folks at the Paris publication Charlie Hebdo were just doing a job when they were killed by gunmen. I don’t know the dynamics of their jobs but I can imagine they were writers, ad sellers, compositors, circulation organizers, maybe even carriers. It’s very easy to live in a free society and take for granted the fact that we can write what we

want. Living in a small town like this, we can be thankful for the lack of daily crime, fatal accidents, suicide bombers, child abductions and other bad news stories that are fed to us from the big cities. If the worst thing that happens in Trail is that the plane couldn’t land due to fog, I’d say we’re sitting pretty. Just don’t ever forget that there are still parts of the world where the old adage “kill the messenger” still applies. So count your blessings, buy an ad, write a letter to the editor, appreciate the work being done and value our little paper and the people who work there. Keep up the great work. I hope the Times survives another 120 years. Lana Rodlie Trail (Trail Times from 1993-2009)

Attacks strike at the heart of freedom

Anyone reading almost any religious founding tract can find cover for almost any action. Most people missed a major point about 9/11. Not just any act of terrorism, it was designed as an attack on the financial system that supports the democratic - and many not-so democratic nations of the world in maintaining the prosperity that allows people to feed, clothe and house themselves and enjoy all manner of perks of actual civilization. Now there has been a direct attack on the key freedom - freedom of expression - that

underpins all the other freedoms we mostly enjoy. If you can only write, draw or say what people with guns approve of, there is no longer any freedom to be had. The rub for free people is creating a way to protect their societies without drastically altering those societies into less-free organizations. “Better safe than sorry,”

do you suppose they did that? Because of principle? No. They said they liked Wildrose policies because, so long as the party existed, it threatened the power of an oligarchy of very loyal political friends. Besides, do you really expect them to trust you? Danielle, they despise you. In fact, they have already abandoned Wildrose policies on conflict of interest legislation. Expect more huge severance packages. Prentice was evasive when it came to borrowing to pay for infrastructure, which violated another agreed principle. Then there is the collateral damage of the former Wildrose staffers whom the PCs agreed to hire. The Tory caucus cancelled the deal. Radio silence from the floor-crossers. Besides, the “unprecedented” decline in oil prices, which Smith said required all fiscal conservatives to work together, is bogus. Between 1993 and 2003 the average price of inflation-adjusted oil was $28 a barrel. At $95 a barrel last August, the Tories still couldn’t balance the books. Expenditures such as the 10 per cent wage premium enjoyed by government workers, not the price of oil, caused the deficits. What does it all mean? Kelly Charlebois, head PC mechanic, got it right: “it’s a great day for the PC Party.” For the party, Danielle, not for Alberta. Thanks a lot, Danielle.

Samuel Goldwyn Jr.

Son found his role in movie making

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - Samuel Goldwyn Jr., a champion of the independent film movement and son to one of the founding fathers of Hollywood cinema, has died. He was 88. Goldwyn died Friday night at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center said family friend A. Scott Berg, the author of a biography on Goldwyn’s father. Goldwyn produced low-budget hits like “Mystic Pizza” starring Julia Roberts and “Cotton Comes to Harlem” in the 1970s and 1980s. His company was one of the largest indie film operations. As a producer, he was nominated for a best picture Academy Award in 2004 for “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.” His final production credit was for “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” in 2013. Goldwyn’s father was one of the founders of Paramount Studios and his production company became part of one Hollywood’s largest studios, MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). The Hollywood dynasty extends to the third generation: Goldwyn’s son John was vice chairman of Paramount Pictures, and another son, actor Tony Goldwyn, stars in the ABC drama “Scandal.” In 1986, Goldwyn told the Los Angeles Times his goal was to appeal to sophisticated movie lovers. “I was brought up in a tradition of patience,” Goldwyn said. “My father never made films that were instantaneous hits. ‘Wuthering Heights’ was not a success the first time around. Neither was ‘Best Years of Our Lives.’ They had to be nursed .... Basically, he was always waiting.”

Tuesday, January 13, 2015 Trail Times

On January 9, 2015, Barry passed away peacefully, after a lengthy battle with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), with his daughter at his side. Barry was an avid history buff and always enjoyed talking about it. In his earlier life he was a member of the RCMP and later worked in Alberta with an oil company and a pipeline company. Barry moved back to Salmo, his childhood home, in the early 1990s. He will be missed by his children; daughter Deanna (Shawn), son Rob and daughter Franci (Karl). He will also be missed by his nine grandchildren, sister Ann ( Jim) and his special friend Grace. He was predeceased by his father Ken, mother Fran and his ex-wife Brenda. A private memorial service will be held at a later date. Cremation has taken place. The Henderson family would like to give their utmost thanks and appreciation for the special care that Barry received at Poplar Ridge. We will never forget the extra attention that he received when he was so sick.

Anita Ekberg

Swedish actress immortalized in ‘La Dolce Vita’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MILAN - Anita Ekberg, the Swedish-born actress and sexsymbol of the 1950s and ‘60s who was immortalized bathing in the Trevi fountain in “La Dolce Vita,” has died. She was 83. Ekberg’s lawyer Patrizia Ubaldi confirmed she died in Rome Sunday morning following a series of illnesses. She had been hospitalized most recently after Christmas. Ubaldi said that in her last days Ekberg was saddened by the illness and her advancing age. “She had hoped to get better, something that didn’t happen,” she said. Ekberg had long lived in Italy, the country that gave her worldwide fame thanks to the iconic dip opposite Marcello Mastroianni. The scene where the blond bombshell, clad in a black dress, her arms wide open, calls out “Marcello” remains one of the most famous images in film history.

Her curvaceous body and glamorous social life made her a favourite of tabloid press in the 1950s and 1960s. She married twice but never had children - a fact she came to regret later in her life. Some gossip magazines called her “The Iceberg” in a nod to her Scandinavian background. But even as she became one of Sweden’s most famous exports, Ekberg maintained a problematic relation with her native country. She never starred in a Swedish film and was often at odds with Swedish journalists, who criticized her for leaving the country and ridiculed her for adopting an American accent. Born on Sept. 29, 1931, in the southern city of Malmo, Ekberg grew up with seven siblings. In 1951 she won the Miss Sweden competition, after being recommended to enter by organizers who saw her on the street, and went to the United States to compete for the Miss Universe title.

She didn’t win but became a model in Hollywood and later started taking on small acting roles. Her role in Federico Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita” where she played a movie star - shot her to stardom. The movie was a colossal success and came to define the wild and carefree days of the early 1960s. Hosting a Swedish radio program in 2005, Ekberg recalled shooting the scene in the Trevi Fountain in Rome. She said it was shot in February, the water in the fountain was cold and Mastroianni was falling over in the fountain drunk on vodka. “And there I was. I was freezing,” she said. “They had to lift me out of the water because I couldn’t feel my legs anymore.” “I have seen that scene a few times. Maybe too many times. I can’t stand watching it anymore, but it was beautiful at the time,” she said.

Ekberg remained in Italy for years, appearing in scores of movies, many forgettable. She returned in two Fellini movies: “Clowns” and “Intervista.” Ekberg married Briton Anthony Steel in 1956, but divorced him four years later. In 1963 she married again to actor Rik van Nutter, but that marriage also failed. In an interview with Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet in 2006, Ekberg said her only regret in life was never having children. “I would have liked to have a child, preferably a son,” she was quoted as saying. “It didn’t turn out that way. That’s life, you just have to accept it.” In the interview, published in connection with Ekberg’s 75th birthday, she also said she wasn’t afraid of death. “I’m just angry because I won’t get the chance to tell others about death, where the soul goes and if there is a life afterward,” she was quoted.

Trail captain traded to Chilliwack By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

It was a quiet day at the BCHL trade deadline, but the Trail Smoke Eaters made some noise trading two of its senior players on Saturday, including captain Scott Davidson. The Smokies dealt Davidson to the Chilliwack Chiefs and defenceman Griffyn Martin to Interior division rival Merritt Centennials, prior to the Jan. 10 trade deadline that came and went with only eight trades made in the BCHL. The 23-14-1-1 Chiefs currently hold down second spot in the Mainland division, one point behind Langley Rivermen with 49, and will send veteran defenceman Evan MacEachern to the Smoke Eaters in exchange for Davidson. “He (Davidson) has given three years of his services, and as captain, we were hoping to make the playoffs this year, but its not looking good, so its an opportunity for him to get that (playoff) experience,” said Trail GM and coach Nick Deschenes. Davidson, a Trail native, has worn the orange and black since 2012, scoring 36 goals and 58 assists in 146 games, while earning 177 penalty minutes. The six-foot, 190 pound forward has committed to play for Quinnipiac University next season, and will see post-season action for the first time in his

Prior to the Jan. 10 BCHL trade deadline, Trail Smoke Eater captain and Trail native Scott Davidson (above) was traded to the Chilliwack Chiefs on Saturday, and defenceman Griffyn Martin dealt to the Merritt Centennials. junior A career. “As a coach you’re working like crazy to do what is best for the Trail Smoke Eaters and I feel the deal we have made to move Scott on is really going to make our club a better hockey team, that’s what allowed us to make that move, as difficult as it was.” Davidson is a tireless worker and a fierce competitor, a skilled and physical forward, as well as the consummate team leader. His presence, on and off the ice, will be missed. MacEachern, a native of Bedford, N.S., is a 20-year-old defenceman who netted three goals and 16 assists for the Chiefs this season. The five-

foot-nine, 155 pound blueliner is eligible to play another year of junior hockey as he turned 20 on Jan. 9. MacEachern played for the Weeks Crushers of the Maritime Junior Hockey League and skated for Team Canada East at the 2013 World Jr. A Challenge in Yarmouth, N.S. prior to coming to Chilliwack last season. “We think he’s going to fit right into our top pairing and be a power-play guy for us, right away, and he’s someone that we have for next year as well as a cornerstone for our defensive core.” Meanwhile, the versatile Martin, 20, from Fairfield, Conn., counted three goals

and seven assists in 35 games for the Smoke Eaters, playing mostly defence but also taking turns up front on the forward line when Smoke Eater injuries demanded it. “I know Merritt is not a bona fide playoff team at this time, but I think he (Martin) is going to make them better and that’s going to be his new opportunity and challenge,” said Deschenes. The Smokies also added 18-year-old forwards Sheldon Brettt from the Comox Glacier Kings of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League and six-foottwo, 190 pound Jordan Passmore, 18, from the Chase Heat of the KIJHL.

The additions were necessary after Smoke Eater forward Robbie Johnson suffered a broken collarbone Friday. Coupled with the Martin trade and the release of Paulsen Lautard last week due to personal reasons, the Smokies were under the required number of 20 carded players. The last-minute injury forced the Trail GM to put Johnson on the season-ending injury list, work feverishly to identify players, make the additions, and put it through a BCHL head office already glutted with trade requests before Saturday’s 6 p.m. deadline. See SMOKE, Page 12

B.V. bombs Border Bruins By Times Staff After being held to one goal on Friday, the Beaver Valley Nitehawks exploded for a dozen markers on Saturday in a 12-3 shellacking of the Grand Forks Border Bruins at the Beaver Valley Arena. The Nitehawks fell 2-1 to the Spokane Braves in Spokane on Friday night, but bounced back Saturday on the strength of a four-goal outburst from Hawks forward Tyler Hartman to defeat the Border Bruins. The Hawks scored four times in each period with Hartman netting three of his four goals in the first period to give B.V. a 4-1 lead. Reid Anderson had his biggest night of the year, counting five points on the strength of a goal and four assists. Devin Nemes and Mitch Foyle each scored twice while McKoy Hauk had a goal and two assists, and Jacob Boyczuk pitched in with a goal and an assist. Sam Swanson and Spencer McLean each had three helpers as the NItehawks dominated the game outshooting the Border Bruins by an incredible 71 to 27. Mitch Pearson, Josh Gladman, and Matt Lucero replied for the Bruins, who sit in last place in the Neil Murdoch division with a 7-28-1-3 record, while B.V. won its 25th game of the season and lead the Nelson Leafs by five points for top spot in the division. The trade deadline for the KIJHL on Saturday saw the Nitehawks maintain the status quo without making a deal. Forward Jace Weegar remains uncertain due to injury, but coach and GM Terry Jones is hopeful the Grand Prairie native will be back in the line up before playoffs. “We have stood pat,” said Nitehawk coach and GM Terry Jones in an email. “We have only taken Jace Weegar off of card in case his injury follow up on Tuesday requires surgery . . . but we expect him back.” On Friday, the Nitehawks led 1-0 heading into the third on a goal from Nemes, but two power play goals by Tanner Stolz and Sean Collins in the final frame would give the Braves the 2-1 victory. The Nitehawks outshot the Braves 51-42 but were stymied by Spokane goalie Trevor Delauro. The Braves remained hot, going into Nelson on Saturday and defeating the Leafs 5-2 at the Nelson Civic Complex. The win puts the Braves four points behind both Nelson and Castlegar which are tied for second in the Neil Murdoch division with 50 points, while B.V. leads the division with 55. B.V. has a home-and-home with Grand Forks next weekend hosting the Border Bruins on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Hawks Nest.

Smoke Eaters muzzle Bulldogs in come-from-behind win By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

The Trail Smoke Eaters stormed back from a two-goal deficit in the third period to beat the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 5-4 on Friday at the Cominco Arena. Smokies forward Dallas Calvin netted the winning goal with 1:34 to play in the third period to give the Smokies their second win in six games. Jake Lucchini and Charlie Zuccarini worked the puck to Calvin in the slot, and the Trail forward’s blast deflected low off a Bulldog defender past Alberni goalie Billy Christopoulos for the win. The win breaks a four-game losing streak and was a rare comeback win after dropping a number of close games when leading in the third period.

Kienan Scott opened the scoring taking a Jeremy Lucchini pass and beating starter Nathan Warren for his first of two on the night. Craig Martin would make it 2-0 on a Jake Lucchini setup, chasing Warren from the net after the Bulldog netminder let in two goals on five shots. It was the Trail native’s 10th goal of the season and second goal in as many games since rejoining the Smokies after suffering an injury that kept him out of action for almost two months. However, the Bulldogs would start their own comeback on the power play when Brett Stewart beat Brett Clark at 13:11 to make it 2-1. Then three Alberni goals in the second period by Mitch Makin, Marcus Russell, and Justion Mareck would give the Bulldogs a 4-2 lead heading into the third. But Scott would spark the comeback

for Trail, scoring his second of the night and ninth of the season, on a pass from Max Newton at 8:55 of the third to get the Smokies back within one. Newton would then draw Trail even when he jumped on a give away from the Bulldog defenceman and beat Christopoulos over the blocker at 16:27, two minutes before Calvin netted the winner. Scoring from all four lines is key for Trail, and getting production from rookies like 18-year-old Scott and 17-year-old Newton bodes well for next year’s team. Newton, a Vancouver native, is the hottest Smoke Eater of late, netting four goals and four assists in his last six games, including a goal and as assist in the Alberni match. “There’s a lot of positives with our young players stepping up their game of late,” said

Trail coach Nick Deschenes. “We’re just going to try to maximize each day moving forward and see what the results bring.” The 14-23-0-2 Smokies have an uphill battle to secure a playoff spot, trailing the Merritt Centennials by 14 points for the final playoff berth with 29 games remaining in the regular season. Calvin was named the game’s first star, while Scott and Newton received second and third stars respectively. The Bulldogs outshot Trail 48-40 on the night. Trail’s Saturday game in Merritt versus the Centennials was postponed after the Smokie bus broke down near Beaverdell. Trails next home games go Friday against the Nanaimo Clippers and Saturday against the Penticton Vees at 7:30 p.m. at the Cominco Arena.

Football NFL

Divisional Playoffs Saturday, Jan. 10 New England 35, Baltimore 31 Seattle 31, Carolina 17 Sunday, Jan. 11 Green Bay 26, Dallas 21 Indianapolis 24, Denver 13 Conference Championships Sunday, Jan. 18 Green Bay at Seattle, 3:05 p.m. Indianapolis at New England, 6:40 p.m. (CBS)

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS You again. Not that the Patriots and Seahawks are likely to mind seeing who has joined them in the NFL’s conference championships. Remember, New England routed Indianapolis 42-20 and Seattle romped over Green Bay 36-16 to open the season. Rematches at the final step to reaching the Super Bowl have been common recently. In the AFC, from 2009-14, only in 2011 was the conference championship not a repeat meeting. In the NFC, it happened in 2010, 2011, 2013 and this season. Twice in the NFC, intradivision matchups meant a third game between rivals: 2010 when Green Bay won at Chicago, and 2013, when Seattle beat San Francisco. Not one of the others has involved teams from the same division. Excluding 2014 - if you know now who is going to win next Sunday, please clue us in in those rematches, the regular-season winner also won the AFC playoff game only once: Baltimore over New England in 2012. In the NFC, the Giants lost to the 49ers during the regular schedule, but beat them in overtime in the conference title match. Rematches are a double-edged sword. The victor in the first meeting has the confidence of already owning a win and the knowledge that more than enough worked during that regular-season game to handle the opponent. The loser has

the revenge factor - and maybe a touch more motivation. “I’d like to think I’m a better quarterback and we’re a better team and more well-equipped to handle the unknown and the unforeseen,” Colts QB Andrew Luck said. “I think we’ve got a bunch of good football players, and a chance to go up New England and play them and get another crack at it is awesome. We’ll make sure to take full advantage of it and do what we can.” The Colts did plenty on Sunday in dominating Denver, avenging their opening loss of 2014. They also saw the Patriots struggle, twice falling into 14-point holes before rallying to defeat Baltimore on Saturday. As Patriots coach Bill Belichick noted, dryly of course: “I don’t think that’s a formula to win a lot of playoff games. They’re a tough group and they never give up, no matter what the situation is.” The upcoming situation is simply this: Luck and the Colts have the look of a rising power after two highly impressive post-season performances. New England showed some vulnerability that Luck, who led the NFL with 40 TD passes, and a rapidly improving defence just might be able to take advantage of. Of course, after vanquishing Peyton Manning and the Broncos, Indy gets Tom Brady, the most accomplished postseason quarterback of his era. “That’s how it works in the playoffs,” safety Mike Adams says. “Everybody we play is top-tier. Everybody we play is big

time. We got to step our game up and be ready.” Even more intriguing might be the NFC matchup. Seattle was on a, well, Super high for the season’s traditional kickoff game, and the defending NFL champs dismantled Green Bay. Then the Seahawks went into a funk and, at one point were 3-3. They are now 13-4 and have that mean, hungry, determined, versatile and, yes, invincible air about them. “Guys are playing selfless. There aren’t any egos, there aren’t any agendas, and guys just want to do whatever it takes to win,” All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman said. “If that means making a tackle, then make the tackle; if that means catching the football, we’re going to catch the football. Guys are playing for one another, they don’t care about stats, nor do they care about anything else.” Sounds a lot like Green Bay, which displayed the resilience of a championship contender in its scintillating comeback victory against Dallas at Lambeau Field. An ailing All-Pro QB Aaron Rodgers, still battling an aching calf, got everyone involved, including two rookie targets who scored touchdowns in the second half. Just like the Seahawks, the Packers are vastly improved from midseason. And equally as hungry. “Looking forward to going back up to Seattle,” coach Mike McCarthy says, “and looking forward to winning the NFC championship.”

the table. Passmore is a big body and physical, so kind of replaces a role that Paulsen was slotted for, and Sheldon also plays with an edge, and so we got a couple players that will bring a little more bite to the team.” The trade deadline is always a stressful time for players and coaches, particularly when the deadline falls on a Saturday when a team should be preparing for games. Players are on edge, coaches anxious, and trading top guys like Davidson and Griffyn is always a difficult process. “Three things I hate about this job is trading players, cutting players, and sitting players out, and they’re all realities of it,” said Deschenes. “You develop relationships with the players, you bring them in, you recruit them and then you have to kind of switch hats and really look out for the team. It’s a community-owned team so you are trying to figure out what’s best for Trail. There’s some integrity that’s involved but at the end of the day there’s no one person, including myself, that’s bigger than the organization.” The Smoke Eaters are coming off a thrilling 5-4 third-period comeback win over the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Friday night. It was the last game for Davidson and Martin, but despite the trades, Deschenes is confident that the acquisition of MacEachern, Brett, and Passmore will keep the team competitive. “When everything shakes out, we made quality moves. Could we have made more? – yes, but I think we would have been jeopardizing the current status of the team, in that we have been competitive. We’ve been in every game since we got back from Christmas, we led most games at times . . . We’re still very much in this but if you look what we gave up and got in return, we’re still very much competitive.” Trade notes: Former Beaver Valley Nitehawk Braden Fuller was traded to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs from Merritt in exchange for futures. Fuller helped the Hawks to the Keystone Cup championship last season and had two goals and three assists in 17 games with the Centennials.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - After three weeks atop the box office, “The Hobbit” has been taken down by Liam Neeson. “Taken 3” nabbed the top spot at the weekend box office in North America with $40.4 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The third installment of the 20th Century Fox thriller series stars Neeson as a vengeance-seeking retired CIA operative with “a very particular set of skills.” The original “Taken,” which also features Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen, debuted in 2009 with $24.7 million, while “Taken 2” launched in 2012 with $49.5 million. “Taken 3” also earned $41 million in 36 international territories this weekend. “For Neeson to be at this stage in his career and be considered one of the premier action heroes is certainly unexpected, but it’s really cool and lucrative,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at box-office tracker Rentrak. “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” slid to fourth place with $9.4 million following three straight weeks in first place. The total domestic take for filmmaker Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth finale now stands at $236.5 million. “The Hobbit” also earned $21.8 million internationally this weekend, pushing the worldwide total to $545.3 million. “Into the Woods” milked $9.7 million in third place in its third week at the box office, bringing the total haul to $105.3 million. With the Academy Awards nominations looming Thursday morning, several trophy seekers expanded into more theatres this weekend. Paramount’s civil rights drama “Selma” moved from 22 to 2,179 theatres, arriving in second place behind “Taken 3” with $11.2 million. The film chronicles the historic 54-mile march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. Other possible awards-season hopefuls that moved into more theatres this weekend included the Louis Zamperini biopic “Unbroken,” the Alan Turing biopic “The Imitation Game” and filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson’s trippy mystery “Inherent Vice.” “American Sniper,” which stars Bradley Cooper as Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, bagged $555,000 from just four theatres. Warner Bros. plans to greatly expand the war drama’s scope on Friday.
