PROUDLY SERVING THE COMMUNITIES OF ROSSLAND, WARFIELD, TRAIL, MONTROSE, FRUITVALE & SALMO

Construction decline has RDKB reviewing building service BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Comparing commercial to residential construction is like comparing apples to oranges. But a downward trend of big builds over six years means much less green in the regional district's building permit basket. During the years of boom, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) built up reserves when the service's building inspectors were occupied with engineering or architectural plans, and on the road field checking industrial and commercial sites stretching from Ross Spur to Big White. With that money stream drying up, save for mostly homeowner renovations, the regional district is looking at ways to sustain its building inspection service. The department provides building inspection services to all five electoral areas and on a contract basis, to six municipalities. Two RDKB building inspectors are based in Grand Forks, and three in the Trail office. The regional district is contracted by each municipality to ensure that all buildings conform to the B.C. Building Code and applicable bylaws. “A sizeable revenue reserve was established to offset taxation when construction activity was very high at Big White and elsewhere in the region,” explains Mark Andison, RDKB's general manager of operations. “But, with lesser building activity over the past few years (since 2008), that reserve has been depleted.” The service's year-end report shows a decrease of 50 permits since 2013. The combined total construction value amounts to $16.6 million compared to $33.8 million the year previous, within RDKB's rural areas and municipal participants in Fruitvale, Montrose, Trail, Warfield, Greenwood and Midway. While that number appears dramatic, locally there's more to the service than dollar signs. “It’s difficult to compare the year-to-year overall building value for Trail,” says Michelle McIsaac, the city's corporate administrator. “As the building value is heavily influenced by projects at Teck and the construction undertaken there in any given year.” According to the RDKB's building summary, there were zero building permits issued for the industrial, commercial and institutional markets in the city last year. Total building values for Trail in 2013 topped $13.9 million compared to $4.1 million in 2014. See TECK, Page 3

Excitement was palpable and giggles abundant Wednesday night in the Rossland Summit School, during the first dress rehearsal for the cast of Anne of Green Gables. The 1908-inspired garments were constructed by costume mistress Shirley McLim. The Rossland Light Opera (RLOP) production of the Canadian literary classic takes centre stage in the Charles Bailey Theatre Feb. 20 and 21 at 7 p.m., and Feb. 22 for a 2 p.m. matinee. The show moves back to the Rossland Summit School on Feb. 27 and Feb 28 for 7 p.m. performances.

Rossland Light Opera Players present Canadian classic BY ALICIA WALLACE Rossland News

It has been half a century since Anne of Green Gables first opened in a Charlottetown theatrical performance and now, for the first time this February, the play will be performed by the Rossland Light Opera Players (RLOP) in venues located in Trail and Rossland.

The RLOP have not performed a major musical in the previous two years and since the fall of 2013, have been working towards this Canadian classic based on the 1908 novel by Lucy Montgomery. Marnie Jacobson of RLOP has always wanted to bring the Prince Edward Island story to life in Rossland and presented the idea to the RLOP executive

committee over two years ago. Back then it was considered too expensive due to the royalty fees. Since then, RLOP member Karen Yamazaki was able to negotiate royalties, cutting them in half to bring a little piece of Canada’s operatic history to the Kootenays. “It just made sense to do a Canadian play,” said Yamazaki.

Weekly Parkinson’s group uses exercise for therapy By Liz Bevan Times Staff

When suffering from Parkinson's Disease, exercise makes all the difference. A Parkinson's sufferer, Renice Townsend, recognized that need and last September, started up an exercise group for others who have been diagnosed with the nervous system disease. The group currently meets every Thursday around lunchtime to practice their daily exercises, and even learn a few new ones. Thanks to a nearly $2,000 donation from Trail's annual Mistletoe Market, the group is looking ahead to how it can improve the weekly meeting and find space for its exercise equipment. “Rachel Jansen is a speech therapist at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital and her dad has Parkinson's, and she also organizes the charity fundraiser, the Mistletoe Market,” said Townsend. “This was really exciting for us because it was $1960.50 and we want to establish a really good venue for the fitness program. I am currently consulting with Joanne Robbins (the physiotherapist who leads the group), and we are making plans for the future. We are so pleased to have received this gracious donation that will greatly contribute to our group.” The weekly exercise group has about 10 members who suffer from Parkinson's Disease and recognize the importance of daily exercise to help keep symptoms at bay. “With Parkinson's, we are losing dopamine which is the chemical that gets our muscles working,” said Townsend. “With Parkinson's you can still develop new neural pathways and that makes it so important to work on exercising and stretching.” Exercising for someone with Parkinson's has a different goal than someone going to the gym to lose some weight. “I remember in physical education class a million years ago, it was about see-

You want to keep the muscles lengthened. Short bursts of an exercise just doesn't do anything. You need the long stretches and every day.” Townsend credits her lifelong love of staying active for her high level of functionality over a decade after showing symptoms. “I think one of the reasons I am functioning so well (13 years after showing symptoms) is that I have always loved physical activity,” she said. “Now, unfortunately, I have to work at it a bit more, but I have a really good background in that. The more I follow the daily exercise routine, the more energy I have and the better I feel throughout the day.” The group currently meets in the basement of St. Andrew's Anglican Church in Trail and Townsend can't say enough about how helpful and accommodating the church staff has been for the exercise group. “When we started in

Policy, real estate topics for discussion By Liz Bevan Times Staff

The trustees of School District 20 took care of a number of different issues at their Jan. 26 meeting, including weather policy, building sales, and automated external defibrillators (AEDs). On the first day of the winter semester, Jan. 5, parents and students weren’t sure if school busses were running because of a large snowfall the day before. There were technical difficulties with the phone line dedicated to transportation issues, causing confusion among parents. Trustees accepted a letter from Catherine Zaitsoff requesting they look at a creating policy to avoid the same situation seen on the first day of school. There was discussion about whether a policy was necessary, but prompted by trustee Rosann Brunton, trustees agreed to come back and look at different ideas at the next trustee meeting in February. “We can wait until we get some recommendations and then we can maybe move it towards policy at the next meeting,” she said. Other trustees agreed that policy was the way to go. “There should be some kind of system,” said Mickey Kinakin. Also from Zaitsoff, was a letter asking about the current status on the sale of the Blueberry school building. Board chair, Darrel Ganzert said he couldn’t share any information about the sale. “The board is not in a position to discuss any issues about Blueberry other than the fact that it is with the ministry,” he said. “Things are moving along. We don’t anticipate it to take months, but rather weeks, but we don’t know. Until the ministry says something to us, we don’t have any information to provide to the public at this time.” The building has not been used as a school since 2002, but is currently used as a recreation facility and community hub. In October, the Blueberry Creek Community School Council tried to buy the building for $1. Financial issues were also on the agenda, specifically dealing with the money the board saved during the strike in September. The school board took half of the strike savings from SD20, totaling almost $590,000. They are unsure of when the province will take back the other half. “They have said they will take 100 per cent (of strike savings) from each district, and they have taken 50 per cent from all districts,” said Natalie Verigin, board secretary-treasurer. School District 52, in Prince Rupert, sent a letter asking for 20 per cent of its total strike savings back and the board agreed they should do the same. “I think that we should be sending a letter asking for the same amount, if not more,” said trustee Mark Wilson. “All the districts should do that. I think we should have a letter.” The next school board meeting is Feb. 23 at Stanley Humphries Secondary School in Castlegar.

Anne of Green Gables will be brought to life with the addition of a full orchestra performing 28 musical pieces.

Full orchestra adds to performance

FROM PAGE 1 It was Canadian comedian, actor, director, journalist, author, playwright and composer Donald Harron who originally adapted the story for the stage. Sadly at age 90, Harron passed away in January of this year, making the timing for RLOP to bring this show to a local audience even more felicitous. Set in P.E.I., the performance guides the audience through the adventures of Anne Shirley, a young red-headed orphan mistakenly sent to brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. The Cuthbert siblings, who never

married so now live together, intended on adopting a boy to help with farm duties, but were instead sent Anne. Producer, Patricia Senecal has a large role in bringing this show to life. She has a role on stage as well as behind the scenes. “I am very passionate about the play; my mom was born in Prince Edward Island,” she said. This light hearted entertainment is for all ages with 28 musical pieces performed by a full orchestra. The music is snappy and the dialogue witty. “To be in a place like Rossland, so

Teck construction down in 2014

FROM PAGE 1 However, nearly $10 million in overall permit construction value the previous year is attributed to projects at Teck Trail Operations, specifically, the No. 1 Acid Plant. “Comparably in 2014, projects at Teck accounted for only $200,000 in overall construction value,” McIsaac explained. “Construction at Teck in 2014 was significantly reduced, although it’s important to note that construction of the No. 1 Acid Plant continued in the first half of 2014, even though the permits were issued in 2013.” If Teck’s permits are taken out of the equation, then construction value in Trail actually increased by about $100,000 since 2013, McIsaac clarified.

Similarly in Fruitvale, 2013 saw several new constructions with 39 permits translating into an increased building value of $2 million. Because the larger projects carried into 2014, values aren’t reflected in the recent building report summary. Instead, the 27 permits issued last year for upgrades to existing village builds amount to $800,000 in total. “So there may be a timing difference between the permitting and the construction phases,” says Lila Cresswell, Fruitvale’s chief administrative officer. “Commercial construction is higher value than residential and most of the 2014 permits were for renovations rather than new construction.”

far away from a big city, it is great to be on stage singing with a live orchestra,” said Senecal. “The play appeals to everyone from kids to seniors, it is very well rounded that way,” she added. There are about 35 cast members from throughout the Kootenays on stage plus an additional 15 to 20 back stage crew. “Some characters have three or four costume changes,” explains Senecal. The show opens at the Charles Bailey Theatre in Trail at 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 20. It then continues Saturday, Feb. 21 with a 7 p.m. performance, and Sunday, Feb. 22 at 2 p.m.

Fruitvale murder case adjourned until April By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

The man accused in the Dec. 28 murder of a Fruitvale resident will remain in custody until at least April 7. Jordan Brian Shimell, of Rocky Mountain House, Alta., made an appearance in Rossland provincial court on Thursday via video link from a BC pre-trial centre. Following the brief appearance, the case was adjourned to April 7. Shimell is charged with second degree murder in the death of Scott Douglas Decembrini, 52. He was arrested without incident when RCMP responded to a report of a man with lifethreatening injuries. Decembrini was rushed to the hospital in Trail, where he died. The victim and Shimell were known to each other, but police have not revealed their exact relationship or the cause of death.

Pay parking at hospitals under fire By Jeff Nagel

Peace Arch News

Fraser Health is defending its policy of charging for pay parking at most of the region’s hospitals to generate additional revenue. The policy – long denounced by hospital users as a heartless cash grab – came under fire again at a Jan. 29 meeting of Fraser’s board of directors in White Rock.

Langley Township resident Harold Nagy demanded to know why Delta and Mission don’t have “this B.S. about pay parking” while patients and visitors must pay at other hospitals. Delta and Mission are the only two municipalities that have bylaws that prohibit pay parking at hospitals. “They should all be free,” Nagy said, add-

ing the charges make some patients worry they’ll run out of time and be fined. “It’s a place of necessity when you go there. It’s not like going out for supper.” About a third of the $8 million Fraser earns from pay parking goes to maintain the lots and the rest goes into the authority’s budget for patient care. “Personally, I wish it could be consistent,”

Fraser Health board chair Karen Matty told Black Press. “But we do not write bylaws in the various communities.” The Canadian Medical Association Journal once likened pay parking to an unfair user fee that can add stress for patients and disrupt their care if they have to go out and feed a meter. Fraser provides free parking passes for renal dialysis patients and grants other financial hardship parking permits on a case-bycase basis. For everyone else, Matty predicts hospital pay parking is here to stay. “Having to pay for parking is something that people need to get their head around,” she said. “I don’t want to pay for parking. But parking seems to be becoming a premium here in B.C., especially

the Lower Mainland. “ Part of the rationale for pay parking is it spurs stall rotation, so some spaces are available when patients and visitors need them and aren’t hogged all day by users from surrounding businesses. Parking costs $3.50 an hour at most hospitals in the Fraser region, although that starts at $4.25 at Burnaby, Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals, while hourly rates are lower in the eastern Fraser Valley – $2.50 in Abbotsford, $1.75 in Chilliwack and free in Hope. White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said he can’t recall his council ever being asked to outlaw pay parking at Peace Arch Hospital. But he suggested Delta Hospital is a special case because of its location with an abundance of other free parking nearby.

New rates for groundwater

THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - Companies will pay little more than a toonie to bottle as much groundwater as can fill a 25-metre swimming pool when new fees take effect in British Columbia next year. The levy is part of a rate schedule introduced by the Ministry of Environment, which until recently has not charged for the use of groundwater. Household wells through B.C. will not require a licence or pay a fee, but the government will charge others between two cents and $2.25 for every one-million litres of groundwater, or enough to fill the pool. The fees mean a household using municipal water may pay an extra loonie or toonie annually, and a farm growing hay in Kamloops may see their costs jump from $90 to $128 to irrigate a 16-hectare field. But the highest rate has been set for waterbottling companies that will pay $2.25 per million litres. The ministry says the fees are meant to cover the costs of the May 2014 Water Sustainability Act, which comes into force next year. “British Columbia is blessed with an abundant water supply that our government is committed to preserving for future generations,” says Environment Minister Mary Polak in a media release. “The new fee structure will ensure fairness and affordability are cornerstones of our modernized water legislation.”

and McLaren Park Arena. In the six years since the league’s inception, the tournament has travelled to different communities. Oakes hopes to change that. “Now that the tournament is so large there are very few spots that can host all the teams together and we have expanded for next season. We are putting in a female division which is going to give the league about 45 teams,” said Oakes. “We are in a situation where it becomes very limited where it can go and our goal, as you heard from everyone is, let’s put on a show like nobody else can put on and keep it here. This is our one-time shot to impress the other league members to say, ‘Hey, lets go back to Penticton annually, forget going elsewhere.’” The tournament will bring over 600 studentathletes and 100 staff members to the city, as well as an estimated 1,000 family members and scouts. By the organizers’ estimate it will tally up to about 2,000 hotel rooms throughout the duration of the event. As of Wednesday, the schools themselves have booked over 200 hotel rooms for four straight nights. Jakubeit said hosting the tournament builds on a new initiative with the tourism development task force. He hopes the timing of the CSSHL tournament, right before spring break, translates into families spending extra days in Penticton and translates to visits in the future.

Supreme Court reverses course on doctor-assisted death

Top court rules ban unconstitutional

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The Supreme Court of Canada has unanimously struck down the ban on providing a doctor-assisted death to mentally competent but suffering and “irremediable” patients. The historic, groundbreaking decision from the country’s top court sweeps away the existing law and gives Parliament a year to draft new legislation that recognizes the right of clearly consenting adults who are enduring intolerable suffering - physical or mental - to seek medical help ending their lives. The judgment, which is unsigned to reflect the unanimous institutional weight of the court, says the current ban infringes on all three of the life, liberty and security of person provisions in Section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It does not limit physician-assisted death to those suffering a terminal illness. “For seriously and incurably ill Canadians, the brave people who worked side by side with us for so many years on this case - this decision will mean everything to them,” said a visibly overjoyed Grace Pastine, the litigation director for the

B.C. Civil Liberties Association. The court clearly instructs parliamentarians that current laws “unjustifiably infringe (Section 7) of the charter and are of no force or effect to the extent that they prohibit physician-assisted death for a competent adult person who (1) clearly consents to the termination of life and (2) has a grievous and irremediable medical condition (including an illness, disease or disability) that causes enduring suffering that is intolerable to the individual in the circumstances of his or her condition.” The pressure will now be on Parliament to act in an election year, as the court says no exemptions may be granted for those seeking to end their lives during the 12-month suspension of the judgment. Friday’s decision was spurred by the families of two nowdeceased British Columbia women, supported by Pastine’s organization. Gloria Taylor, who had a neurodegenerative disease, eventually died of an infection. Kay Carter, then 89, travelled to Switzerland, where assisted suicide is allowed. Taylor had won a constitutional exemption at a lower court for a medically assisted death in 2012, but that decision was overturned in subsequent appeals. “Justice, dignity

and compassion were the defining qualities of my mother,” Lee Carter told a crush of reporters after the decision came down. “We just felt that it was a fundamental right for Canadians that they should have this choice.” She called it “a huge victory for Canadians and a legacy for Kay.” Hollis Johnson, Kay Carter’s sonin-law, called her “a vibrant and intelligent woman” who “dreamed of legal change for all Canadians, because she believed the laws forced people like her to suffer needlessly at the end of their lives.” The Supreme Court gave a ringing endorsement of the original B.C. trial judge’s findings, albeit not for a constitutional exemption. The decision reverses the top court’s 1993 ruling in the case of Sue Rodriguez, a fact the decision attributes to changing jurisprudence and an altered social landscape. Two decades ago, the court was concerned that vulnerable persons could not be properly protected under physicianassisted suicide, even though courts recognized the existing law infringed a person’s rights. But the experience of existing jurisdictions that permit doctor-assisted suicide compelled the courts to examine the record. The B.C. trial judge “found no compelling evidence that a

permissive regime in Canada would result in a ‘practical slippery slope,”’ wrote the top court. “An individual’s response to a grievous and irremediable medical condition is a matter critical to their dignity and autonomy,” the judgment says. “The law allows people in this situation to request palliative sedation, refuse artificial nutrition and hydration, or request the removal of lifesustaining medical equipment, but denies the right to request a physician’s assistance in dying.” The ruling goes on to state that “by leaving people like Ms. Taylor to endure intolerable suffering, it impinges on their security of person.” The court agreed with the trial judge “that a permissive regime with properly designed and administered safeguards was capable of protecting vulnerable people from abuse and error. While there are risks, to be sure, a carefully designed and managed system is capable of adequately addressing them.”

right-to-die laws around the world Here is a look at some rightto-die laws that are already in place in other jurisdictions: QUEBEC: A right-to-die bill was adopted in Quebec last year, the first legislation of its kind in Canada. The law, scheduled to go into effect in December, stipulates that patients would have to repeatedly ask a doctor to end their lives on the basis of unbearable physical or psychological suffering. They would have to be deemed mentally sound at the time of the requests. OREGON: The results of a referendum made Oregon the first U.S. state to make it legal for a doctor to prescribe a life-ending drug to a terminally ill patient of sound mind who makes the request. However, doctors cannot administer the life-ending drugs and the patient must swallow them without help. Patients must state three times - once in writing - that they wish to die, and those statements must be made at least 15 days apart. They must also obtain a concurring opinion from a second doctor that they have less than six months to live and are of sound mind. The law took effect in late 1997, and just over 800 people had used the law. SWITZERLAND: A law passed in 1942 forbade anyone from helping someone kill themselves for selfish reasons. As a result, people arguing that they are assisting with a suicide for unselfish motives are not considered to

be committing a crime. Suicides can be assisted by people other than doctors and no medical condition needs to be established. Switzerland is the only country that allows foreigners to travel there for the purpose of ending their own lives. NETHERLANDS: In the Netherlands, euthanasia is legal under specific circumstances and for children over the age of 12 with parental consent. In Europe, patients don’t have to prove that they have a terminal illness establishing unbearable suffering is usually sufficient. Dutch doctors are allowed to perform euthanasia if a patient whose unbearable suffering has no hope of improvement asks to die with a full understanding of the situation. A second doctor must agree with the decision. BELGIUM: The country legalized euthanasia for adults in 2002. In the last decade, the number of reported cases per year has risen from 235 deaths in 2003 to 1,432 in 2012, the last year for which statistics are available. Doctors typically give patients a powerful sedative before injecting another drug to stop their heart. In 2014, the age limit of 18 was lifted, and terminally ill children who have parental and physician consent are now eligible. L U X E M B O U R G : Luxembourg’s right to die legislation is modelled on the system at work in the Netherlands.

Post-secondary ‘re-engineering’ begins

remier Christy Clark’s push to “re-engineer” the B.C. education system is moving ahead aggressively in B.C.’s 25 post-secondary institutions. One of the first tasks for Andrew Wilkinson in his new role as advanced education minister was to outline the shift in operating grants for colleges and universities to in-demand occupations. By 2017, a quarter of the money for post-secondary institutions will be directed to areas where labour force surveys forecast a need. This was greeted with some alarm when it was announced last year. Simon Fraser University president Andrew Petter at first downplayed the coming skills shortage as “relatively small” and warned against pushing post-secondary institutions into a “zero sum battle for dollars.” Petter has since come on board, as his approving

comments were featured in the ministry’s Jan. 26 news release detailing the shift. He and others have been assured that in spite of Clark’s rhetoric, suggesting trades training is in and university is out, the news for SFU and other universities isn’t all that bleak. Wilkinson is completing a province-wide tour of all post-secondary institutions this week, and I reached him at his visit to Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. “The response to this has generally been pretty good, because the students are putting this pressure on institutions themselves,” he said. “Some of the institutions are … shrinking things like teacher education and putting more effort into the science-based, quantitative fields that are often related to these indemand occupations.” The surplus of teacher graduates has been noticeable for some time,

but that’s largely a function of oversupply, much of it in urban areas. In the Cariboo, for example, teaching jobs are projected to have the highest number of openings by 2022, followed by nursing and retail and wholesale trade managers. Then come heavy duty mechanics and electricians, but also paraprofessional jobs in legal, social, community and educational services. Province-wide, it’s part of a broader demographic shift to fewer children and more retirees. In fact the government started this targeted funding a dec-

ade ago with health care, forcing universities to produce more doctors, nurses, lab techs and so forth. The retiring baby boom is expected to account for more than half of the openings in the next decade, which will expand the skills demand across most fields, beyond the trades training for the anticipated liquefied natural gas industry and other highdemand industrial areas such as truck driving. Wilkinson notes that of the ministry’s $1.9 billion budget, about 60 per cent goes into general postsecondary education, for introductory courses that students take when they are seeking a career path, through undergraduate studies to professions. “So I think the idea that we’re going to somehow minimize or diminish funding in that general education, arts and science category is just not true,” he said. Key to this shift is measuring the perform-

ance of courses offered at colleges, universities and technical schools. Each year, the ministry surveys about 30,000 graduates to find out whether their studies helped them find a related job. The results are available on a website that breaks them out by institution and general study area. To find it, do a web search for “BC student outcomes” and select the “executive dashboard” to check the results for courses and schools in your region. The site provides charts showing the percentage of students who land relevant jobs. Not surprisingly, it tends to be higher for technical programs and lower for fine arts. It also shows grads’ average wages, a sobering but useful bit of information for high school students and their parents. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

TV LISTINGS NBC reviews anchor’s story THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - NBC News has assigned the head of its own investigative unit to look into statements made by anchor Brian Williams about his reporting in Iraq a dozen years ago. A source at the network who requested anonymity because the person is not authorized to speak on personnel matters confirmed the investigation on Friday. Williams has apologized for falsely saying on the air that he was in a helicopter hit by a rocket-propelled grenade while in Iraq in 2003.

Open Government: from ‘key priority’ to ‘what’s that?’ in four years flat

against Islamic extremists in Iraq. The Liberals opposed the deployment. At that time, the Conservatives accused Trudeau of showing disrespect for the military after he quipped that Canada should be involved in providing humanitarian aid to Iraq “rather than trying to whip out our CF-18s and show them how big they are.”

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Justin Trudeau says he has “deep personal respect” for members of Canada’s armed forces and for Prime Minister Stephen Harper to suggest otherwise is an insult.

As Vancouver Sun columnist Vaughn Palmer wryly noted: “So the guy who was caught out by a whistleblower leak of emails has now been put in charge of open government. Who says the B.C. Liberals don’t have a sense of humour?” The government’s waning interest in the issue is mirrored on the B.C. Liberal party’s website as well. There’s a reference to it, but what it means has changed remarkably over four years. In 2011, open government was one of the party’s three key priorities, along side creating jobs and putting families first. Come to think of it, none of those priorities worked out particularly well for the government. By 2013, open government gave way to ‘opening up government.’ Priorities were replaced by accomplishments, that included: establishing an Auditor General for Local Government, providing quarterly reports to the province via webcast, and by having the “greatest percentage of women in cabinet – 44 per cent of ministers.” Last May, it became “An open government.” Bullet points gone. It’s all about listening to and consulting with British Columbians “on an unprecedented scale.” Or what might be better called “Let’s chat” rather than Open Government. In her 2011 year-end report, Premier Clark stated: “Open Government is about giving people a sense of confidence that government is working for them, not trying to do something to them.” It would seem – somewhere along the way – the government decided doing something to British Columbians was easier than working for them.

PEOPLE Christina Lake

Gordon Frew Memorial TRophy preserved

Baby born at local gas station By Craig Lindsay Grand Forks Gazette

There was plenty of excitement at Christina Lake this past weekend and it wasn’t all during Winterfest. Christina Lake firefighters responded to a call from a pregnant woman and ended up helping her give birth in back seat of her car at the Tempo Gas Station at the Lake. Ken Gresley-Jones, Christina Lake Fire Rescue chief, told the Gazette they got a call from 9-1-1 at 5:57 a.m. on Feb. 2 and attended shortly after. “What happened was the people were on their way to Nelson to have the baby and they made it to the long, straight stretch on the highway before Paulsen Bridge,” he recalled. “She said, ‘I’m not gonna make it. Let’s head back.’ They got as far as the Tempo and they called 9-1-1. We showed up and, well, she had the baby!” Gresley-Jones said it was definitely a first for Christina Lake Fire Rescue. He’s just glad everything went well and the baby is a healthy boy. “It’s our first delivery,” he said. “It went fine. You always worry about what if. But if everything is right it’s one of the most natural things there is. This one was and thank God. You don’t want complications with something like that. It’s just too precious a time to have problems and we didn’t. It was great.” Gresley-Jones said the department had an emergency childbirth kit which they used. B.C. Ambulance paramedics showed up on scene shortly after the baby was born. “The delivery took place by the mom and one of our first responders,” he said. “It’s a first. It went well. They were fairly calm.” For the mother, it was not her first—something that Gresley-Jones was very thankful for. He said the couple, who are from Grand Forks, was very calm, especially considering the circumstances. Mom and baby were taken by ambulance to Boundary Hospital in Grand Forks just as a precaution.

Spokane family jokingly blames untimely death on Seahawks’ final play THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SPOKANE, Wash. - The family of a Seahawks fan who died after the Super Bowl says he would have enjoyed the dig at the team they put in the last line of his obituary: “We blame the Seahawks lousy play call for Mike’s untimely death.” The obituary for Michael Vedvik appeared Thursday in The Spokesman-Review (http:// bit.ly/1DjeuPR ). His wife, Stephanie, says he would have found the line hilarious. The 53-year-old Kent man actually didn’t see the game. He recorded it, intending to watch later, and went to sleep not feeling well, thinking it was indigestion or stress. He died in bed after a heart attack. His brother-in-law added the line about Seattle’s unsuccessful final play to the obituary and Stephanie Vedvik approved.

Marilyn Frew (left) presented Art Winstanley, from the Kootenay-Columbia Educational Heritage Society, a plaque showing Laura J. Morrish school history last week. From 1984 until 1999, the Gordon Frew Memorial Trophy scholarship was awarded to the top academic achiever at the elementary school. Since Morrish was renovated into what is now the Kootenay-Columbia Learning Centre, Mrs Frew stored the plaque, that honours her late husband and well known Trail educator, in her home. After talking with her children, the family decided the rightful place for the historical artifact was in the hands of the archives group.

Gordie Howe

Hometown celebrates hockey legend’s life THE CANADIAN PRESS SASKATOON - Gordie Howe learned to play hockey with second-hand skates. His first pair tumbled out of a burlap sack his mother bought from a neighbour. He and his sister Edna each took one oversized skate, stuffing them with woollen socks to make them fit. Howe’s eagerness eventually won out and he bought Edna’s skate for a dime to complete his set. The well-known story of Howe’s humble beginnings is still discussed by the children who play shinny outside the hockey legend’s old school in Saskatoon. “He grew up skating on this rink,” says 13-year-old Taylor Hanemaayer, pointing to a dark-green house that sits behind King George Community School. “That’s where he grew up. He’s the only famous hockey player that’s gone to this school.” Len Ermine, 12, says hopeful players still look up to the man known as “Mr. Hockey.” A large sign reading “Welcome Home Gordie Howe” sits near the school’s front entrance. “He’s a really good player,” says Ermine. Howe was in Saskatoon on Friday for a celebrity sports dinner that paid

tribute to his life and career. He holds NHL records for most games played (1,767) and seasons played (26). His 801 career goals rank second to Wayne Gretzky’s 894. The Hall of Famer played on four Stanley Cup championship teams in Detroit during a 25-year stint that began in 1946. The 86-year-old suffered two disabling strokes late last year. His family has said his health has improved after he underwent a stem-cell treatment as part of a clinical trial in Mexico. Howe’s sister, Helen Cummine, who lives in Saskatoon, says Howe was excited to return home. But added the family is still reeling after her older brother, Vic, died in Moncton, N.B. Vic Howe played three seasons for the NHL’s New York Rangers in the 1950s. Cummine says her two brothers were especially close and fondly remembers them pranking her as a child. “(They) would get a brick of ice cream, cut it in half, tie (us) to banister of the stairs and sit there and eat it in front of us. They’d say ‘when you’re free you can have some,”’ she says with a laugh. “We never got any.” Gordie Howe, one of nine siblings, was actually born in Floral, Sask., a tiny community just southeast of Saskatoon. The family moved to the city when he

Inglehart

was an infant. “We had a good time,” Cummine recalls. Patton MacLean lives in the home where the Howe children grew up. He says the house is a point of pride for the community. “It’s like owning a piece of local history,” says MacLean. “He’s in many people’s mind and in my mind the greatest hockey player who ever lived.” The city brims with pride for Howe, whether it is a statue, or the street in front of the city’s largest arena that is named after him. Mayor Don Atchison remembers attending a parade for Howe in 1966. “It instilled a lot of pride in the city of Saskatoon,” he says. “Here we have a legend that is right amongst us here in our own city.” Steve Hogle, president of the city’s Western Hockey League team, the Saskatoon Blades, calls Howe “a God in the hockey world.” “He is absolutely a mythical figure,” says Hogle. “His name is just so respected in the hockey community.” Hogle says Howe’s career still motivates players. “Every child’s dream can be realized,” he says. “You can come from anywhere, be it small-town Floral, Saskatchewan.”

Black Jack stacks B.C. Men’s x-country ski team

Times Sports Editor

Athletes from the Black Jack Ski Club and Red Mountain Academy will suit up for Team B.C. when the 2015 Canada Winter Games get underway in Prince George this week. From Feb. 13 until March 1, the 2015 Canada Winter Games will bring together 2,400 athletes, 1,000 coaches and officials, up to 4,500 volunteers, hundreds of media and thousands of visitors in Prince George and northern B.C. in the the largest and most prestigious multisport competition for

young Canadian athletes. Five Black Jack cross-country skiers fill out the men’s Team B.C. squad, including David Palmer and Geoffrey Richards of Rossland, Julien Locke of Nelson, Scott Fraser from Saskatchewan and recent U23 World championship qualifier Colin Ferrie of Kimberley. The skiers have had a quality season on the Haywood-NorAm circuit this year and with Colin Ferrie returning from the U23 World Championships in Kazakhstan today, are expected to do well at the Games.

“It (Black Jack) is the only program in the province that has so many senior skiers that are so good,” said Black Jack coach David Wood. To have so many quality skiers from one club on one team is indeed rare, and while it likely has much to do with the former National Team coach, Wood deflects any praise to the Black Jack Club as a whole. “It’s not just me, it’s the whole club that is doing well, and I think in Black Jack that’s our focus and that is what we are trying to accomplish.” said Wood. “We have an environment

where skiers can train in the Kootenays and succeed nationally and internationally, and these guys are quite good with the junior skiers as well.” The extensive training has paid off for the tight-knit group of skiers, and Wood expects good results when it comes to the Games competition. “Our guys are certainly going to be amongst the favour-

ites,” said Woods. “They are all different; Julien will fight hard in the sprints, I believe he can win, and David and Colin are more distance guys, and they’ll do fine there too. But I think the B.C. Team should be able to win the relay, we have lots of good guys, and we’re solid on every leg, so I think that should be a real goal.” Joining the Black Jack skiers on the

provincial team is Red Mountain Academy slopestyle snowboarder Isabella Beharrell, a Nanaimo native. The snowboarder finished second and third at the FIS championship at Big White last month. The cross-country skiing events will commence the second week of the Games, with the first race going Feb. 23, while Beharrell will hit the slopes on the 24th.

“This is a great opportunity for the BC athletes to be able to compete in their home Province,” said Chris Nakonechny, Head Coach of the BC Provincial Snowboard Cross Team. “The lead up to the Games has allowed BC Snowboard and the Northern clubs to further grow the sport in the North. All in all it has been very successful.”

SOBC-Trail athletes getting primed for B.C. Winter Games BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

Greater Trail will send a strong contingent of athletes to the Special Olympics B.C. Winter Games in Kamloops this weekend The B.C. Winter Games will attract more than 600 athletes from eight zones across the province, competing in seven sports including floor hockey, figure skating, snowshoeing, alpine skiing, curling, cross-country skiing, and speed skating. Sheila Hawton will lead the Kootenay Team as chef de mission, while a strong floor hockey squad, the SOBC-Trail Roadrunners, coached by Ben Postmus and Chris Kuchar will compete along with

downhill skier Stuart Hawton coached by Darrel Fry, and the SOBC-Trail snowshoe team comprised of William Thatcher and Jake Miller and coached by Luke Thatcher and Jared Munn. The athletes qualified for the Games last year in Kelowna, and although the snowshoe team is relatively new, Thatcher is happy with the progress. “I’m looking forward to seeing how the athletes perform at the provincials,” said Thatcher. “I was overwhelmed at the districts last year, just how fast they were.” The snowshoe team engages in a weekly dryland-training session, and practices on snowshoes at Gyro and Montrose Park during the week, as well as race against

Montrose Fire Fighters’ finest. Coach Thatcher says he wants to see his team enjoy the experience of the Games, but is also impressed with their dedication this season. “It’s just their second year starting, and they’ve already made it to provincials, so you can’t ask for anything more as a coach,” said Thatcher. “I think they will compete very well. These guys have got faster, their times have just downhilled, they’ve already lost over 10 seconds in their sprints. They were pretty quick last year, but they are even quicker this year, so that’s nice to see.” Miller is most looking forward to the competition. A sprint specialist, the Trail

native will compete in the 200 and 400metre races. “I’m looking forward to going to Kamloops,” said Miller. “I think I’ll do pretty good, I’ve been working hard and it should be a great experience.” The floor hockey squad played in a tournament in Abbotsford in January and forward Bob Lattanzio says it was a good warm up for the Winter Games. “It helped, we lost two and won one, but it was a lot of fun and we learned a lot.” The veteran player has played on the floor-hockey team for four years, and is excited to compete in his first SOBC Winter Games.

Jason Bay to be Inducted in WCC Hall of Honor

ASSociated press SAN BRUNO, Calif.—Former Gonzaga outfielder Jason Bay will be inducted in the WCC Hall of Honor as part of the 2015 class, as announced Thursday by the West Coast Conference office. An outfielder who typically manned centerfield for the Zags, Bay needed just two years to leave his mark on the Gonzaga University record books. His 35 home runs are still the third-most in school history, and he remains seventh on the all-time batting average list with a career mark of .374. Bay’s first season in Spokane, his junior year in 1999, remains one of the best seasons at the plate the school has seen. He tallied 74 RBIs that year, at that point the most in school history and still the secondmost in one season by a Zag. His 65 runs scored and 20 home runs are both the third-highest marks in a single season as well. He helped Gonzaga win 27 games and finish second in the conference that year, the school’s highest conference finish in the previous 10 years. After graduation in 2000, Bay went onto have more success in professional baseball than any other Zag. He debuted with the San Diego Padres in May 2003 then went onto win National League Rookie of the Year in 2004 with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bay was named to the Major League All-Star Game three times, twice with the Pirates and once with the Boston Red Sox. In total, he amassed 1,200 hits and 222 home runs in the Major Leagues, more than any other Gonzaga alum.

The native of Trail, British Columbia, will be inducted into the WCC Hall of Honor on Saturday, March 7, at the WCC Hall of Honor Brunch in Las Vegas, Nev. The class of 2015 will also be honored during a halftime ceremony during one of the WCC Basketball Tournament games that weekend. Joining Bay in the Class of 2015 is BYU’s Aleisha Cramer Rose (Soccer), Loyola Marymount’s Rick Adelman (Basketball), Pacific’s Elaina Oden (Volleyball), P e p p e r d i n e ’s Dane Suttle (Basketball), Portland’s Jim Sollars (Basketball), Saint Mary’s Odell Johnson (Basketball), San Diego’s Scott Thompson (Basketball), San Francisco’s Jim Brovelli (Basketball) and Santa Clara’s Bud Ogden (Basketball). “The West Coast Conference continues to be recognized for the great success of its athletics programs and achievements of its studentathletes, coaches and administrators,” said West Coast Conference Commissioner Lynn Holzman. “The 10 inductees in the 2015 Hall of Honor class have brought significant honor to themselves, their institutions and to the Conference. We are truly humbled to have this opportunity to salute their accomplishments.” Bay is the first member of the Bulldogs’ baseball team to enter the WCC Hall of Honor. He joins GU basketball greats Frank Burgess, Jeff Brown, Blake Stepp and Dan Dickau, former men’s soccer player Brian Ching, and former volleyball star Kelley Cunningham Spink as Zags in the conference Hall.
