Bridge lighting project comes up with fundraising idea BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

If you haven't had a light bulb moment in awhile, an upcoming Trail bridge project can offer you one – literally. As the Downtown Opportunities and Action Committee (DOAC) nears a goal of raising $190,000, or half of the money needed to light up the Victoria Street Bridge, the group has come up with a unique and public way to complete the campaign. For a $200 donation, anyone wishing to “Buy a Bulb” can do so beginning March 1. With another $50,000 to go before reaching its portion of the $380,000 project, the initiative offers people the

chance to purchase one programmable, coloured LED bulb that will one day be part of a series of lights identifying the Victoria Street Bridge as a landmark feature in downtown Trail. Contributions to the DOAC project can be made at city hall, and are tax deductible. The Ministry of Transport is supportive of the initiative, noted Coun. Lisa Pasin during the Monday night meeting. “They did put forward some suggestions to changes of design which could end up as a cost reducing position for the project.” Trail council was first approached by the downtown organization one year ago with the novel idea for themed bridge lighting to add visual impact to

the downtown. “Hopefully through the sale of lights at $200 each, we will be able to finalize the DOAC's portion of the project and make the Victoria Street lighting a reality,” Pasin added. The project will come up as part of the city’s 2015 capital budget deliberations, confirmed David Perehudoff, Trail's chief administrative officer. “With the DOAC money in hand, council will need to determine how they want to proceed and if they will fund the city’s share,” he explained. “I would suggest that the donors would not be prepared to wait indefinitely and would want to see the project completed in the next year or two.”

The incrEDIBLE trail's plan to grow a garden-for-all hit a roadblock on Monday. Trail council turned down the group's request to develop a community garden on a chunk of city-owned land on Rossland Ave. Citing the cost to develop the site, which is across from the Colombo Lodge, Trail council supported the initiative in principle during the governance meeting, but asked the edible landscape committee to come up with a different locale. According to the city's engineering department, installing water, grading the gravel surface and supplying 300 feet of fencing would exceed $15,000 – a number Trail council deemed too high. But Gina Ironmonger from the incrEDIBLE trail says she's not giving up on growing food in a garden that would be all inclusive and open for learning and teaching. While the committee continues to look at other land options, action for a second year of edible landscapes throughout the Trail community is already underway, beginning with the city's first “Seedy Saturday,” slated for March 14 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at St. Andrew's Anglican Church. The event features a free seed exchange, a childrens' planting workshop, educational booths and seed vendors. Council's decision to nix the $15,000 community garden proposal came on the heels of another commitment, which was to greenlight Trail Community in Bloom (CiB) a $110,000 budget this year. This includes $50,000 for plants, shrubs, pots and baskets; $19,500 for the watering contract; $15,000 in city wages for services such as transporting planters, and repairs to sprinklers; plus another $10,000 for contract help to assist with hauling soil and various rock work. Dan Rodlie, CiB's chair, spoke before Trail council during the morning meeting, highlighting the group's strategy to keep the Silver City shining this season. While he asked for $10,000 more than what was granted, Trail council did agree for the city to be part of the CiB international competition. That aspect to the program eats up considerable funds especially in labour costs. Earlier this year, council considered dropping support (about $6500) for a visit by international CiB judges and other related incidentals like attending the national conference. See FOCUS, Page 3

wheel, at about 2 p.m. when they turned into a blind curve and were confronted by a pile of slush on the road. Losing traction in that slush, their vehicle, a 1992 Ford Crown Victoria sedan, veered off the highway and catapulted down an embankment about 70 feet below the highway. “All that prevented us from crashing another 100 feet down the embankment was we hit some trees to stop the car, and that our car was too big to pass through the space between those

trees,” Barrass told the Kelowna Capital News. “If we had a smaller car, we probably would have kept on going and nobody would have even known we were down there for days.” The couple had just passed the Big White ski hill turnoff on Highway 33 and were negotiating their way along the stretch of Highway 33 as it descends down a rugged mountain pass from that turnoff. He was on his way to Kelowna to see a specialist about treatment for a foot ailment. A road service heavy equipment operator by trade, Barrass said he has been trained to be prepared for accidents in equipment he operates, training which he said allowed him to keep his wits about him after the car came to a stop. “I was unable to get out of the car because of my foot problem, but I was able to help my wife, who wasn’t badly hurt, to get her-

self out of the car. She had to hike back up the steep slope to stop a passing motorist and get assistance to make a 9-1-1 call.” Barrass was critical of the snowplowing efforts on Highway 33 at that time, saying steps can be taken to make it safer for motorists, starting with shutting down the highway when it is being plowed until the roads are safely cleared. “The problem is the road is very narrow in that stretch and there is no where to push the snow in a safe manner when cars are passing the snowplows,” he said. Barrass’ experience came on the heels of a tragic accident that claimed the life of Alexandra Paulina Nyuli, 21, after the vehicle she was driving veered off the highway and down a steep embankment. (See story on Page 4) She was the daughter of Joe Rich Fire Chief Curtis Nyuli. Barrass said he was

aware of controversy surrounding Highway 33 over the past week, and says in light of his accident, he and his wife won’t drive that stretch of road again. “Our car was a write-off so we drove back to Castlegar in a rental, but we went by way of Osoyoos instead,” he said. “We were very lucky that neither of us were seriously hurt in our accident, but I don’t want to use that highway again, and we have to travel to Kelowna often to deal with my foot problem.” Barrass is critical of the province’s decision years ago to privatize highways road maintenance work, saying the quality of service has never been the same since. “The way the roads are looked after now is a joke,” he said. “If we weren’t wearing our seat belts and if the trees hadn’t stopped our car from sliding further down the embankment, we would still be down there now.”

Focus on Rossland Heritage Commission launches website urban forests By Alicia Wallace Rossland News

FROM PAGE 1 The nod to keep Trail with a competitive edge, (last year the city was up against Castlegar, plus towns in Alberta, Newfoundland, Manitoba and Ireland) is welcome news to Rodlie. “For us, competing brings out more volunteers than when we are not competing,” he noted. “And people like to look forward to something, it gives them incentive.” Before blooming judges land on Trail soil this summer, Rodlie said the committee will focus on improving urban forest, both in the city and on privately-owned properties. “That’s an area that we really got nailed on last year,” he said. “People come into town and ask why a tree is dead, and say, ‘Did something kill it?’” Rodlie said the committee is asking for a volunteer arborist or people with background knowledge in trees to come forward and help develop an inventory and strategy to deal with the dead trees. “The volunteers won’t be going out there to do the work,” he clarified. “What we need is someone to come out with us, take a look and advise us on what we should be doing.” While most of CiB’s work will be maintenance of the current greenery, there will be additional flowering trees, signage describing the plants, and more sustainable growth moving forward. “We are slowly switching over to perennials, which are less costly and easier to maintain,” said Rodlie. “And we really need to pull our socks up with the covered stairs,” he added. “We have to pay attention and have them cleaned up. Because it’s not just for the judges it’s for the people who live in the community who use them as thorough ways every day.” The next CiB meeting is scheduled for Feb. 26 at city hall, 6:30 p.m. Rodlie invites new and past volunteers and those who may want a better understanding of how the organization’s $110,000 budget is dispersed.

The City of Rossland’s Official Heritage Register contains 29 buildings and 13 sites. These same heritage items are also listed on the Rossland Heritage Commission’s (RHC) website, launching this week at www. HeritageRossland.com. The website brings together all of the information that has been researched and gathered on Rossland’s historic places to date. The idea for a website on Rossland’s heritage came about after the six years of research without an official home for all the content that public could have easy access to. The website has been designed by HLF Images of Rossland and will be made live just in time for Heritage Week. The theme for the 2015 Heritage Week in B.C. is Main Street: At the Heart of the Community. The week kicks off on Monday Feb. 16. The website has photos, histories, value statements and maps presented in a focused and attractive, easy to navigate format. “The Rossland Heritage Commission is pleased to provide this website on behalf of the city and to share its information with all interested viewers both local and abroad,” explains Jackie Drysdale chair of the RHC. The website is administered by the RHC. Drysdale says additions are always welcome as this site is a work in progress. The website is linked to the City of Rossland website and that of the museum and the Chamber of Commerce. The City of Rossland has many buildings and sites that have a strong connection to the exciting gold mining era of more than one hundred years ago. The Heritage Commission is very

She described the difference between history and heritage and explained the definition of heritage for the commission relates to buildings and sites of significance to the community. Plans to introduce the website include sessions with students of Rossland Summit School. The RHC will also be welcoming the public to explore the website on computers provided at the Rossland Legion from noon to 2 p.m. on the Feb 18 and 19. The RHC was created through a bylaw of the City of Rossland in 2009. Its mandate is to identify, preserve

and conserve those buildings and sites that are valued by the community for their historic significance in telling the story of Rossland’s development, particularly of the gold mining era between 1895 and 1929. The RHC endeavours to promote public awareness and appreciation for Rossland’s many heritage places that are an important part of visual and built environment and that help to define the community’s identity. Despite three disastrous fires in Rossland’s downtown (1902, 1927 and 1929) the historic streetscapes still exist to charm visitors “Today many communities are leveraging the heritage of their downtowns as assets to stimulate tourism, attract new residents, provide affordable housing, and encourage investment by creating affordable space for smaller businesses and start-ups, as well as authentic retail experiences,” describes Heritage BC.

Fatal crash renews calls for road improvements Team decries growing oil and gas sponsorship of annual All Native Basketball Tournament

By Kathy Michaels Kelowna Capital News

In the aftermath of a fatal crash on Highway 33, Joe Rich residents’ plans to push for road improvements have continued to gain steam. In an interview last week, Joe Rich Residents’ Association president John Collinson explained that the community is

furious that Alexandra Nyuli, 21, died Jan. 28 when her car went off the highway and rolled more than 100 metres down an embankment. He said it’s a painful reminder that countless residents are putting themselves in harm’s way when they take the roadway, and they plan to take their concerns to the ministry of highways.

In a statement responding to questions Collinson had about the safety of the roadway and a recent decision to raise the speed-limit, ministry officials wrote: “our hearts go out to those affected by crashes on highways and roads in our province. “We look forward to receiving the results of the police investigation, and any

Life’s brighter under the sun

recommendations they might have. “The ministry is monitoring the safety performance of the highway as it does on all provincial highways.” At a meeting with Joe Rich residents in early November 2014, the ministry committed to conduct a follow-up review of speed compliance and safety, and that will take place later in 2015. On the issue of the 100 km/hr speed limit on the road, the statement read: ”safety is our number one pri-

ority and was the foremost consideration in the Rural Highway Safety and Speed Review.” Nyuli, 21, was the daughter of Joe Rich Fire Chief Curtis Nyuli. He was one of the first on scene at her fatal crash—a fact that has stung many of those who lived in the community, said Collinson. A service was held Saturday for Nyuli. The B.C. Coroner’s Service and RCMP Traffic Services continue to investigate the incident.

The three-time defending All Native Basketball Tournament Seniors Division champions, the Skidegate Saints, are calling for an end to oil and gas industry support of the event which they say is compromising the overall tournament experience. In a letter dated Jan. 21 and signed by 14 members of the team, the Saints call on the tournament committee to reject “compromising” sponsorship from companies planning to export oil or liquefied natural gas from the North Coast — including current sponsors BG Canada, Pacific NorthWest LNG and Aurora LNG — as well as those planning to construct pipelines to carry the product to the terminal, such as current sponsor TransCanada. There are no companies associated with oil movement sponsoring this year’s tournament. The Saints, who will look for their fourth straight title this week, claim the presence this sponsorship provides has ruined some of the enjoyment of years past. “Looking back at photos and memories from last year, we can’t help but be saddened by the propaganda of the oil and gas industry littered throughout the civic centre. These great memories are tainted with the sponsorship signs and imply an acceptance of the industry by all participants and communities,” wrote the team. “The co-opting of the All Native Basketball Tournament by the oil and gas industry is an attempt to gain a social licence for their illconceived projects and is yet another chapter in this continual assault on our culture and way of life ... we are in opposition to the fracked liquefied natural gas and oil projects that are being proposed and if playing in the tournament is associated with these projects, then we will have to consider not attending the tournament in the future.” Part of the expenses incurred by the tournament come from a per diem paid to players and coaches still competing, a number that reached $45,000 in 2013, but the Saints say that is an expense they could do without. “We are not there for the fancy prizes or per diem, but for the pride of representing our nation,” the team wrote. When contacted by Black Press, 2014 Best Defensive Player Jason Alsop said the team has not yet had a response from the tournament committee. However, he had nothing further to say on the matter. “I think the letter speaks for itself and we have nothing else to add,” he said. All Native Basketball Tournament president Peter Haugan declined to comment on the letter or the request of the Saints to forgo sponsorship from oil and gas companies, but noted the tournament has turned down oilrelated sponsorship in the past.

National Alberta

Union leaders fearful EDMONTON - Two union leaders say talks with the province about possible cuts are starting to look like a sham designed to give Premier Jim Prentice political cover. Heather Smith of the United Nurses of Alberta and Elisabeth Ballermann of the Health Sciences Association say they’ve had one Briefs meeting with a From The Canadian Press civil servant. Smith says no new meetings are scheduled. Smith fears the government will use the one meeting to say it got nowhere in talks and then use it as an excuse to take drastic action. Prentice has said public-sector workers need to help out in an uncertain economy caused by low oil prices and has called current wages “unsustainable.” Smith and Ballermann say Tim Grant, who has steered the one meeting, has made it clear Alberta needs help balancing the budget, but he wouldn’t tell them if that means wage cuts or layoffs.

Ontario

Tree lawsuit dismissed TORONTO - A teenager left paralyzed after falling from a favourite climbing tree in a public park has no grounds to sue the municipality, Ontario’s top court has ruled. In a unanimous ruling, the Court of Appeal said there was no way municipal authorities could reasonably have foreseen the tragedy and acted to prevent it. “Trees, being by their very nature things which can be climbed and therefore fallen from, are potentially harmful,” the court said. “Any danger posed by this tree was an obvious one. If you chose to climb it, you could fall and be injured.” The incident occurred in 2001, when Eric Winters, then 16, and friends were hanging out at the Kinsmen Park in Cayuga, Ont. As generations of teens had done before, according to trial evidence, Winters climbed a healthy willow on the banks of the Grand River they had dubbed the “Chilling Tree.” For reasons not clear, he fell from a branch. He was left paraplegic. He sued.

Noah, Mason and Jacob rounded out the five favourite boy names, while Sophia, Emily and Ava did so for girls. Carter, Lucas, Ethan and Lily dropped out of the Top 5.

Overriding assisted-death ruling unlikely: MacKay THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - Personal circumstances colour individual views on whether people should have a legal right to a doctor-assisted death, and that deeply emotional dilemma could swing voter loyalty during the next election, says the federal justice minister. In the few days since a landmark Supreme Court of Canada ruling, Minister Peter MacKay has read the decision several times that quashes a longstanding criminal ban against doctor-assisted suicide. The minister didn’t state his own feelings on Wednesday, but after noting he sees “new elements” with every reading, he strengthened his opposition to one of three possibilities for responding to the deci-

sion. “Or, you can use the legal equivalent of a nuclear bomb, which is to come in and overrule the Supreme Court of Canada,” he told reporters at an unrelated funding announcement in Vancouver. He was referring to the notwithstanding clause, which is a section of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms that gives Parliament the power to override the high court’s verdict. “The federal government has never done that and I would suggest to you that it’s very unlikely in this case.” Left on the table are the options of letting the law lapse entirely, or crafting a replacement. The court endorsed the Parliamentary route. The government has

Measles outbreak linked to Disneyland THE CANADIAN PRESS Ten individuals in Quebec are confirmed to have been infected with measles in an event health officials are linking to a large outbreak in California. And another case has been reported in the Toronto region, bringing to eight the number of cases discovered in the past few weeks in southern Ontario. The Lanaudiere health authority said the first Quebec case contracted the virus during a visit to a park in California. Though they do not name it, it would appear that it is Disneyland.

already undertaken to consult a range of affected groups, MacKay said. He noted the court provided a calendar year to deliver its answer, but said the government will be taking “the time we need” after describing it as an important and far-reaching issue for Canadians. He acknowledged the decision’s timing ahead of a federal election expected in October and said input from a broad array of people will help inform and instruct the government’s path forward. “How it will impact or how it might impact on an election I suppose depends on what happens between now and October, if anything, and how people view this as moving their vote.” Consultations have already begun, he said, listing medical and mental health professionals, disabled communities and religious groups as interested parties. The government is currently “looking at” a private members’ bill introduced by Winnipeg-area

about.” While it’s difficult for him to gauge how the question will be reflected at the ballot box, said MacKay, the issue has been divisive for many across the political spectrum. “I don’t think there’s any one political party that really owns this issue in any way, shape or form.”

Governments put the squeeze on Generation Squeeze

e’re approaching the season when governments release their budgets so it’s important to know how much government money goes to different age groups. British Columbia will be the first to table its budget on February 17, soon followed by the other provinces and Ottawa. In the wake of the Premiers decision last summer to launch a new Task Force on Aging, the distribution of government spending by age will be a hot topic. Problem is, Canadians have little information to inform this discussion. No government reports total social spending by age group, nor does Statistics Canada. With colleagues at UBC and Generation Squeeze, I have been crunching the numbers to fill this void. Our new study published this week finds that governments combine to spend $33,000 to $40,000 per retiree, $14,000 to 15,000 per person age 45 to 54, and less than $12,000 per person under age 45. Since the coming budgets

reflect who and what we value, one key question all Canadians should be asking is whether this age distribution is fair. The answer depends on how different age groups are doing. In previous research, we’ve shown that Canadians age 55+ enjoy increases in household income that surpass those under 45, who are squeezed by lower earnings, less time, and higher housing costs compared to a generation ago. High housing prices generate big wealth gains for those age 55+, while weighing down those under 45 with large debts. Retirees now report the lowest rates of low-income status of any age group, yet more than a quarter of Canadian children start kindergarten vulnerable in ways that make them more likely to fail in school, commit crimes and fall ill. Canadians in their 40s and younger also inherit larger government and environmental debts than did their parents a generation ago. Such evidence suggests that younger generations need to become a greater

priority for policy adaptation by Canadian governments. When new investments are being made this budget season, younger Canadians should receive at least as much as retirees. Unfortunately, the new Task Force on Aging suggests that the Premiers are prioritizing population aging. This narrow focus risks overlooking generational equity. Our new study shows that governments spend $150 billion annually on medical care – nearly half of which goes to the 15 per cent of Canadians age 65+. The same age group receives another $40 billion in Old Age Security (OAS). Canadians don’t

pre-pay for medical care and OAS the way we do for our Canada and Quebec Public Pensions (which cost another $44 billion). Instead, medical care and OAS comes from general taxes each year, dwarfing spending on families with kids. Over the past decades, we funded medical care and OAS with tax rates which reflected that a relatively small population of retirees was being supported by a larger working age population. This resulted in big tax savings for those who enjoyed their prime earning years over this period. Today, more retirees need to be supported by fewer working Canadians. Multiple studies doubt that we will be able to sustain the $33,000 to $40,000 we are spending per retiree at current tax rates as the population age 65+ grows. Given this, younger Canadians must be forgiven for wondering whether today’s aging population will fully pay for the medical care and retirement income subsidies they intend to use.

And if not, whether there will be anything left over to reduce the squeeze on younger generations which face lower earnings, higher housing costs, and a deteriorating environment. Provincial and federal governments can and should budget equitably for aging parents and grandparents, as well as for their kids and grandchildren. Fortunately, Canadians in their 40s and under are getting better organized to make this happen. Under the banner of Generation Squeeze, we’re squeezing back by building Canada’s most overdue lobby. It will match the good work of the Canadian Association of Retired Persons, which has lobbied on behalf of Canadians 50+ for decades. So long as older Canadians have a strong lobby, younger Canadians deserve one too . . . so that provincial and federal budgets work for all generations.

Military moves won’t force a Ukraine ceasefire

What happened to understanding real science?

wenty per cent of adult Canadians think that the measles vaccine causes autism, according to a survey of some 3,000 people conducted by Mainstreet Stephen Technologies. They are wrong. Troy Media There is not a shred of scientifically credible evidence to support this view, but it persists. So does the belief that homeopathic medicine is effective in treating specific problems or that Big Foot is alive and well or that organic food is better for you than non-organic food. This kind of “let’s make stuff up” science is worrying. It tells us that real science – the systematic, methodologically rigorous pursuit of truth – is not understood either in terms of process (how science gets done) or in terms of outcome (what we know from science). We have failed to help people understand how to examine a proposition – e.g. “is it a good idea for my son or daughter to have the measles vaccine?” – in a rigorous, science-based way. One reason for this is that the media loves non-scientific ideas rather than real science, especially when they come from scientists or science advocates. For example “. . . major

European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020” screamed The Guardian in February 2004. It based this claim on a “secret” (sic) Pentagon report from a scientist and a business writer who, in turn, based it on their very limited understanding of climate models. In a typical day, a person who listens to the radio, watches television and reads newspapers will be faced with up to 100 “quasi” science claims. These will range from “scientists have developed gluten-free yeast” (yeast is already gluten free – yeast is a fungus and gluten is a plant protein – they are as related as a cow and a grape) to “coconut oil can increase your calorie-burning power by up to 50 per cent” (well-known studies have shown that saturated fats increase the risk of heart disease). We need to do a much better job of helping citizens develop the ability to review, question, explore and check scientific claims. Measles can kill – it’s a deadly disease. Vaccination is an established and safe way of protecting the community. Our communities and each of us is threatened by ignorance and the spread of pseudoscience. It needs to change.

Secretary of State John Kerry is merely talking about giving some sophisticated “defensive weapons” to an army that doesn’t even use the weapons it has very well. The Ukrainian army is poorly trained, badly led, and controlled by a government in Kiev that is as incompetent as it is Of course, Putin’s stated concerns about Western plots to draw Ukraine into NATO are not very rational either. He’s exceptionally illinformed if he thinks that Western European countries like France and Germany would let Ukraine join NATO, since that would mean they were taking on a treaty obligation to fight Russia on Ukraine’s behalf.

basically to make Americans feel better? That involves less risk of a huge Russian overreaction, admittedly, but it would still be a big step towards a new Cold War, and for no possible gain. That is why Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande flew to Moscow last Friday: to head Kerry off by patching up some new ceasefire (or reviving the old one) in eastern Ukraine. They will be meeting with Putin and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Minsk on Wednesday in the hope that they can make it happen. At best, that would mean the effective loss of Ukrainian sovereignty over two more provinces (Crimea is already gone), and a semi-permanent “frozen conflict” on Ukraine’s eastern border. Not great, but realistically Ukraine has no better options anyway. We know that Putin is willing to settle for such “frozen conflicts” in order to cripple disobedient former Soviet republics, because he has already done it with Moldova and Georgia. We know that the victims of such tactics can thrive despite Moscow’s games. Georgia certainly does, and Ukraine could do

deluded if he takes his own military’s hoary arguments about Ukraine’s military importance seriously. It is 2015, not 1945, and Russia has lots of nuclear weapons. It simply doesn’t matter whether NATO’s tanks are far from Russia’s border or close to it. Wherever they are, nuclear deterrence still works. What drives Putin, therefore, is a grab-bag of emotional motives. His man in Kiev got overthrown, and he doesn’t like to lose face. Even if Ukraine has little strategic or economic importance, it was part of Russia for 300 years, and he hates the idea that it might just slide into the West on his watch. He shares the paranoia about the evil intentions of the West that every Russian inherits (for very good historical reasons). None of this is worth a full-scale war in Ukraine, let alone a serious military confrontation with the West or a new Cold War. Maybe if the United States were prepared to go in boots and all, showering Ukraine with weapons, money and even US troops, Putin might back away, although it would be a terrible risk to take. But some token “defensive weapons”,

ngela Merkel grew up under Communist rule in the old East Germany. She speaks fluent Russian. She has been the chancellor of Germany for the past ten years. And for all that time she has been negotiating with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, on wide variety of subjects – including, for the past year, Ukraine. They may not like each other much, but they certainly know each other. So listen to what Angela Merkel said about the debate in the US military, in the Congress, and even in the White House about sending direct American military aid to the Ukrainian government. “I cannot imagine any situation in which improved equipment for the Ukrainian army leads to President Putin being so impressed that he believes he will lose militarily,” she said. “I have to put it that bluntly.” Does anybody think that Angela Merkel is wrong about this? Does any sane person think Putin would flee in panic if he hears that the US is going to send Ukraine “defensive weapons” (antitank weapons, antiartillery radar and the like)? If not, then this

Canadian kayaker lives nomadic lifestyle in pursuit of Olympic dream ‘Hobbit Van’ built from scratch helps athlete afford training and competition THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO Ben Hayward’s home measures about seven square metres and is currently parked in an overflow lot in southern France. Faced with financial challenges that could have derailed his Olympic dream, the kayaker from Edmonton has taken the nomadic lifestyle of the amateur athlete to a whole new level. Hayward lives and travels in a camper van he built from scratch on a flatbed truck, combining his background in architecture with his need to live and train in Europe on the cheap. “Amateur sport in Canada is pretty poorly funded as it is, and then summer sport is even worse,” Hayward said in a phone interview from Australia, where he’s racing this weekend. “I’ve been struggling with budget for the entire time I’ve been involved in the sport and so I knew over the next two years leading up to the Olympics that I’d need to be a full-time athlete, and bringing in an income would be pretty difficult, and so I needed to

find something that would be affordable and pretty much this was the only way.” His “Hobbit Van,” as he fondly refers to it, resembles a hobbit house on four wheels, complete with a round hobbit door. The 25-year-old, who’s Canada’s top whitewater paddler, originally planned to buy a van to live in, but after four days of searching in Wales left him empty-handed, the idea to build his own was hatched over a cold pint in a Cardiff pub. Hayward purchased the nine-year-old army-green truck for $2,200, and he and a friend worked 18 hours a day over the next four days constructing the maple wood exterior. It was just a shell with a bed for the first couple of months before he had the time and money to devote to finishing the interior. The former Carleton architecture student has added a kitchen, and a handcrafted two-piece couch that when pushed together makes a spare bed. Power comes from a wind turbine and solar panels. He was able to purchase appliances thanks to a crowdfunding campaign last summer. The name of every donor is hand-painted within a giant maple leaf on one outer wall.

“I tried to do was make it modern and rustic at the same time,” said Hayward, who recently completed a video on the construction of the interior. “And so it was kind of designed to be a home office or a living room or a dining room, or a spare bed, and have a lot of dual functionality and be really space efficient. The kitchen is amazing. . . the oven I have in there is better than any one I’ve had in any apartments I’ve rented before. “It’s actually a really nice space to live in.” The total cost was $10,000, which is completely paid off, leaving him with just fuel costs and living expenses. Hayward spent four months this past fall living in his hobbit van while he trained in France. The owners of the whitewater facility there permitted him to park it in their overflow lot. “It was great, they were quite happy to come over for tea and coffee,” Hayward said. He never feels claustrophic in his caravan, he said. “I actually really like it a lot. I’ve got a big bed in there, so it doesn’t feel cramped at all,” he said. “I think living in a small space encourages you to be outside a bit more, and so I’ve actually really enjoyed

the lifestyle. It’s a really nice shift, rather than staying in hotel rooms and then you end up on your laptop a little more often than you’d like.” Hayward is coming off the best season of his career, making two World Cup finals, finishing sixth and ninth in men’s K1. He won Canadian national titles in four different disciplines. He has his sights on a strong showing at this summer’s Pan American Games in Toronto, and then a spot on Canada’s Olympic team for Rio. He’s racing the K1 this week at the Australia Open at Penrith’s Whitewater Stadium, the whitewater venue for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Hayward has made the most of his trip Down Under. A couple of weeks ago he travelled to Hobbiton in New Zealand, the movie set for the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy and the “Hobbit” films. Besides being a big Hobbit fan, he also got some ideas for his caravan. “It was a lot more detailed than I thought it would be, and it’s massive as well, so it was very cool. . .,” he said. “And I’m also studying architecture so it was cool just to see this kind of architecture typology that has never really existed except in fiction.”

Mother often knows best when it comes to dating THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON Guys, if you want to get the girl, try bringing flowers - to her mother. With Valentine’s Day coming up, it’s something to think about: Winning over mom may sound oldfashioned, but it’s still a smart strategy in today’s fast-changing, app-tapping, hookuphappy world of dating. In a new poll, 6 in 10 young women say when they’re thinking of getting serious with somebody, their mother’s approval is “extremely” or “very” important. “She makes the call,” said Jessica Wilhelm, a 19-year-

old college student and self-described “mommy’s girl.” Wilhelm, from Brighton, Michigan, said she learned her lesson in high school when she tried going out with “the guy your parents don’t want.” “It’s not a good idea,” she said. “It doesn’t go smoothly for anybody.” A mere 6 per cent of women under age 30 say their mother’s opinion matters “not at all” when dating, the Associated PressWE tv poll found. Four in 10 young women would consider breaking up with someone mom didn’t like, according to the poll. Indeed, 16

per cent say they’ve dumped a guy for that reason. Sons worry a little less than daughters about what mom thinks, the survey found. Still, half of 1 8 - t o - 2 9 - y e a r- o l d men say her approval is extremely or very important when a relationship might get serious. Andy Lowney, 22, of DeWitt, Michigan, said if he were dating a woman his mother didn’t like, he wouldn’t ditch her immediately. “I’d see if it’s something you can change over time,” he said. “But long, long term, that’s going to be an issue.” Dads, the stereo-

typical gatekeepers for teenage daughters, still have some say, too. Half of young women and nearly 40 per cent of young men put high importance on dad’s opinion when a romance is getting serious. A father’s view outranks what friends or siblings think, according to the poll. Kelsley Broomfield, 21, said her parents deploy different tactics when sizing up boyfriend material. Her mother, always friendly and chatty, asks the what-do-youwant-to-do-with-yourlife questions. Dad listens and doesn’t say much, but he’ll signal his verdict later with a

few subtle comments. “He’s kind of the test,” said Broomfield, of Englewood, New Jersey. Of course, dating a guy your parents like isn’t the same as dating a guy who’s like your parents. And it turns out men aren’t necessarily looking for a girl just like the girl that married dear old dad, either. Among men and women of all ages, a slim majority - 51 per cent - think it’s better to go out with someone who’s the opposite of their parents, instead of

someone who reminds them of the folks. And how do the folks feel about all this? We’re not asking for much, they insist, but couldn’t you just listen to us now and then? While few parents say they want a lot of sway over their grown children’s love lives, the vast majority of parents of all ages - 7 in 10 - would like to exert at least a little influence. Alas, fewer than 6 in 10 parents believe they have, or will have, any influence at all.

Some may be underestimating their lifetime impact, however. L.D. Ross Jr. of Clinton, Maryland, said he made his expectations known early through years of dinner-table conversations about values and how to judge character. By the time his son and three daughters were old enough to date, he said, “they were very good about the people they selected to bring home.” Three of the four are married now, and he has five grandkids.

Valentine’s Day overrated: survey

THE CANADIAN PRESS Cupid’s arrow seems to have missed Canadians this year, as an overwhelming majority of the country (78 per cent) sees Valentine’s Day as overrated. According to the latest consumer trends survey from digital coupons website RetailMeNot.ca, this attitude is consistent regardless of relationship status, with single Canadians and those in a relationship both agreeing that Valentine’s Day is overhyped (74 per cent and 80 per cent, respectively). Additionally, 80 per cent of Canadians surveyed agree that men have more pressure on Valentine’s Day than women, despite the fact that many partners are not expecting a grand gesture. Although Valentine’s Day seems to have lost a little of its allure, 21 per cent of people surveyed celebrate the holiday whether they are seeing someone or not! And lovers take note: 1 in 4 respondents expect to receive gifts from their significant other to mark the occasion. However, spending time with their significant other is what Canadians really want, with 68 per cent planning to celebrate at home with their Valentine this year despite the day of love falling on a Saturday.

Top ways Canucks are celebrating this year according to the survey: • Quickest way to a man’s heart: A homecooked meal is most popular way Canadians will celebrate V-Day, with nearly one-third (30 per cent) staying home. • Red, red wine: Sharing a bottle of wine with their Valentine is the second most popular way Canadian’s will spend Valentine’s Day (17 per cent). • No muss, no fuss: Another 17 per cent of Canadians will enjoy their Valentine’s Day meal from takeout containers while staying in. Canadians surveyed will still spend an average of $42 this Valentine’s Day, with men expecting to spend an average of $54 and women only expecting to outlay $31. However, spending doesn’t have to mean splurging: 61 per cent of Canadians believe it’s acceptable to use a coupon on a date. Other survey findings include: • Dinner and a movie is dead: Only 13 per cent of Canadians plan to celebrate Valentine’s Day with dinner and a movie. • Ah, young love: Two-thirds (66 per cent) of the country agrees the first Valentine’s Day in a relationship receives the biggest celebration.

Horning vs Ferguson: a Super League rematch By Times Correspondent The Kootenay Savings Super League wrapped up its season with its final games last Thursday, setting up an exciting one-game winner-takes-all playoff tonight at the Trail Curling Club. The league-leading Deane Horning rink beat out second place finisher Rob Ferguson foursome by a single point during the regular season, and the two teams will play for the championship in tonight’s final. The game will be a repeat of last year’s A-final that saw Horning eke out an 8-6 win over a determined Ferguson rink on his final shot of the match, and Team Horning’s sixth consecutive Super League title. The Super League’s top teams capped off their seasons in typical, if not decisive fashion last Thursday. In the final matches, Team Horning was in complete control over Team Umpherville right from the get go, scoring in Jim Bailey photos the first four ends for a 5-0 lead. Skip Rob Ferguson calls on Joe Ferguson and Markus Partridge in Kootenay Savings Super League Skip Justin Umpherville, curling action last week.

Walsh claims playoff spot with third-session win By Times Contributor In the final game of the third quarter session of Men’s Retiree Curling and a log-jam atop the leader board, would it be Walsh, Horan or Drinnan going to the playoffs? With Walsh ahead of Horan and Drinnan by two points, a win or tie by Walsh would secure first place. Team Murray Walsh faced the Ernie Brown foursome. Walsh took four in the first, but gave it right back in the second. Walsh trailing nine to seven after six ends put up another four point end in seven to go ahead by two. But Brown, down one

with hammer in the last end, could only muster a single to tie the game, as Walsh seals the session win in a wild game. Team Forrest Drinnan needing a win to have a chance at a tie breaker for the session win, faced team Jim Stewart. The Stewart foursome was under pressure each end by the offensive minded Drinnan side. Drinnan with a pair of three’s in the third and fifth ends, and a steal of two in the sixth, got handshakes early, and waited for the result of the Walsh vs Brown game. In a tight back and forth game that saw

the lead change almost every end, team Dan Horan needed the win over team Primo Secco. Tied 7-7 after seven, and team Horan with hammer there was hope. Primo with his final rock drew around a guard and put his shot on the button. Acting skip Alvin Caron needed to move that rock back and stick around for the win, but wrecked on the guard. Make the final 8–7 for Secco. In an almost error free game between Pat Fennell and Harvey Handley, it came down to a couple of missed shots in the seventh and eighth ends that decided

the game. Team Fennell were the beneficiaries of team Handley miscues and made the most of it, with steals in both ends. for an 11–7 Fennell victory. A short handed Clare Coleman rink faced the Tom Hall foursome. The Hall second, Rod Schleppe had an outstanding game and kept pressure on the Coleman side all game. Guards and draws by the Hall back end forced long raises and hit-androlls by the three man Coleman team, with Hall prevailing 6-4 in the end. Team Brett Rakuson faced the Serge Pasquali team, skipped by third,

Mario Favaro. In a game that every end was up for grabs, it was the Rakuson side that the score flattered. Make the final, in a close game, 7–4 Rakuson.

Gericks keeps playoff hopes alive By Times Staff The Trail Commercial Hockey League had to call Search and Rescue after an offensive avalanche buried the defence and goaltending in TCHL action last week, as teams combined for 54 goals in four games. Surprisingly, it was fifth-place Gericks that emerged relatively unscathed, keeping its playoff hopes alive with a 7-4 victory over OK Tire on Sunday and a 10-4 drubbing of Allstar Thursday. Gerick’s Brett Johnson set up Mike Turner who scored what proved to be the winner 20 minutes into the first period, to give Gerick’s a 5-0 lead over Allstar on Sunday. With the wins and four games remaining in the regular season, Gericks moves to within four points of Tire and Arlington, currently tied for third spot with 28 points. Eric Hill got the ball rolling for Gericks, scoring his 25th of the season five minutes in, before Steve Walker tallied two, and Travis Drake would make it 4-0 scoring his first of two on the night. The Tire got on the board with 10 seconds remaining in the opening frame on a Kelly MacKay goal. But Mike Boisvert would make it 6-1 at the eight minute mark of the second, before Derek Chartres would cut the score to 6-2 one minute later. Drake would make it 7-2, and the Tire’s Justin Adrian and Darrin Williams would round out the scoring. Parity seems to be rampant in the league as Allstar, after getting dumped by Gericks on Thursday, would rebound with a 14-4 demolition of Arlington on Sunday, three days after the Big A beat up on the league-leading Re/Max 7-4. Kris Koshey and Evan MacKay picked up hat tricks for Allstar, and Ryan Baines had a five-point night (2G, 3A) in the 14-4 romp. Pat Iannone had a goal and two assists for Arlington in the loss, but the former Kootenay Ice forward continues to lead the league in scoring as he also counted a point on six of seven goals (4G,2A) in the A’s 7-4 win over Re/Max on Thursday to give him 40 goals and 93 points on the season. Jeremy Robinson tallied four assists in the same game for Arlington, and is right behind Iannone in scoring with 20 goals and 82 points. The teams resume play tonight with Allstar a chance to make up ground on Re/Max at 7:15 p.m., and Arlington fighting the OK Tire for third place at 8:30 p.m. On Sunday, Arlington plays Gericks at 2:15 and OK Tire battles Re/Max at 3:30 p.m.

Armstrong gets Olympic medal

CAts raise hope for Clara

The Gulch Cats hockey team raised funds at its recent hockey tournament banquet to help three-year-old Clara Issel, who at the age of two was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Above: Cats’ president Dennis Venturini presents a $2,500 check to Clara’s aunt, Linda Volpatti. Clara begins an eight week intensive round of chemotherapy this month, and will have to continue treatment until December 2016. The funds will go to help Clara and her single-mom, Karin, as they struggle through this difficult time. It was the Cats 13th annual hockey tournament, and the team, over that time, has contributed over $35,000 to families in need. To help Clara, residents can also make a donation to the Clara Issel fund at any Kootenay Savings Credit Union branch.

THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG Forward Evander Kane is on the move. The Winnipeg Jets dealt the injured winger, defenceman Zach Bogosian and goaltending prospect Jason Kasdorf to the Buffalo Sabres for defenceman Tyler Myers, winger Drew Stafford, prospects Joel Armia and Brendan Lemieux and a 2015 first-round pick. Kane was the Jets’ biggest trade chip despite being out for the rest of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery. In dealing Kane before next month’s deadline, the franchise loaded up for a run at its first playoff appearance since moving to Winnipeg. The sixfoot-two, 195-pound Vancouver native had 10 goals and 12 points in 37 games this season. The six-foot-three, 225-pound Bogosian had three goals and 10 assists in 41 games this season with Winnipeg. Bogosian is in his seventh NHL campaign

THE CANADIAN PRESS The moment will be out of context, but Dylan Armstrong can’t wait to have that Olympic medal around his neck. Six and a half years to the day after just missing the podium at the 2008 Beijing Summer Games, the Canadian shot putter will receive a bronze medal Sunday in his hometown of Kamloops, B.C. “The question I won’t miss is ‘When are you going to get your medal?”’ Armstrong told The Canadian Press in a recent interview. “I’ll be extremely happy.” Armstrong finished fourth back in 2008, just a centimetre behind bronze medallist Andrei Mikhnevich of Belarus. That fourth-place finish was upgraded to third last August after Mikhnevich was banned for life for a second doping offence. “It’s obviously the one medal that’s going to be the most important to me to have accomplished in my career,” said Armstrong, the first Canadian shot putter to win an Olympic medal. It was important to Armstrong that the ceremony be held in Kamloops, but the sixfoot-four, 306-pound athlete has left most of the other details to the Canadian Olympic

from China for Canada. It’s also justice. It’s fair play, which is a value of the Olympic movement.” Armstrong’s medal increases Canada’s overall total in Beijing to 19 - three gold, nine silver and seven bronze - and moves the country from 14th to 13th in the standings. Sunday’s ceremony at Kamloops’ Tournament Capital Centre may be unique, but it is no substitute for standing on the Olympic podium at the Bird’s Nest Stadium alongside the best in the sport. It also can’t replace

the loss of what Armstrong estimates “would be over a million bucks for sure” in endorsements, meet appearance fees and sponsor bonuses. “I would probably have got more lucrative endorsements and sponsorships and things like that,” he said. “I’d be in a way better financial situation for sure, right? “I don’t like to think about the money I lost a lot. There’s nothing that can replace that. I tend not to dwell. “You can never replace the moment, but you make the best of it,” Armstrong said.

Non-kissing boyfriend could have hormonal issue Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

Dear Ursula: Embracing and kissing during lovemaking is normal. Please ask your boyfriend to see his doctor to check out any hormonal problems that could possibly be resolved. If he refuses to go and will not discuss it with you, you must decide how important physical affection is, because he isn’t likely to provide it. Dear Annie: I was born in the middle of the baby boom generation. My dad was a Pearl Harbor veteran. There were hundreds of heroic acts performed that day, and one of them involved a friend of my father’s, whose destroyer took a direct

Heads of the world will continue to snicker at your nickname because they never matured past adolescence. We favor the world-weary sigh, along with ignoring them. An eye roll is optional. You also could introduce yourself as “Rick” or “Rich,” both common nicknames for Richard that will elicit fewer asinine reactions. But we will open the floor to our readers, who are sure to come up with a greater variety of responses. (Please keep them printable, folks.) Dear Annie: You recently printed a letter from “Wish We Knew,” and in your response, you mentioned symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Sometimes those same symptoms can indicate other conditions. My 83-year-old mother started twitching, shaking, feeling nervous, having trouble sleeping and becoming dizzy. When her ankles

began to swell from fluid buildup, she was finally diagnosed with a very high CO2 level. She had been on oxygen for years, and even her lung doctor missed the signs, including rapid breathing. He thought she needed more oxygen, but in fact, the

problem was too much. The only way to test for a buildup of carbon dioxide is with a special blood gas test. This is a treatable condition. Anyone with these symptoms, especially those on oxygen, should ask their doctor not only about Parkinson’s,

but also about CO2 levels. -- Joan in Louisiana Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net

hit. Even with severe injuries, he lowered himself into the harbor and dog-paddled out to keep an unconscious seaman alive until help could reach them. That day, my dad decided that if he had a son, he would name him after this friend, whose name was Richard. The common nickname is “Dick,” which brings me to the reason for this letter. Seventy-five years ago, Dick was a common name, but not so much today. For years, I have put up with people making lewd comments about my name. At 6-foot-3, I can get in anyone’s face if I choose, and that usually ends the matter. But I don’t want to do that. Instead, I’d appreciate it if you could provide a concise response that leaves little room for additional interaction with marginally literate people. -- Richard Dear Richard: We are not miracle workers.

2015 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Dear Annie: I am 53 years old and have been with my boyfriend for four years. The first year was awesome. We would hug and kiss hello and goodbye, and often say “I love you.” Now? Nothing. We don’t touch at all. I am so unhappy. We have sex once a month and only when he wants it. During sex, there is no kissing or embracing. When I talk to him about this, he becomes angry and says I live in a fantasy world and have unrealistic expectations. He says he is not going to crawl all over me. He then says he loves me very much. It’s not that I want sex all the time, but a little affection would be nice. Other than this, things are good. We get along well and support each other. I just wish it could be like our first year. I don’t want to start all over with someone else, but lately I’m asking myself, “Should I stay or should I go?” -- Ursula

Hawks help out

Jim Bailey photo

Beaver Valley Nitehawks' Jacob Boyczuk, Lyle Frank, and Jace Weegar teamed up with Subway to help raise funds for KidSport Trail last week. Players from the Nitehawks greeted patrons at the Trail, Waneta, and Fruitvale Subway locations with $1 from every sub sold going to Kidsport, so all kids can play.
