New campaign for urological health kicks off

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

With a new set of eyes, comes new equipment and advanced urologic surgeries that will keep more patients recovering locally instead of in hospital beds at distant city centres.

The Urology Surgical Equipment Campaign launched today through the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital's (KBRH) health foundation, with a goal of fostering progressive urologic services for both men and women living in the region.

The $400,000 campaign is projected to last up to two years.

However, with a new urologist on the way, the foundation received a sizeable donation from the Trail Hospital Auxiliary this week so updated surgical equipment can be ordered in advance of his arrival.

Dr. Michael Robinson will join the area's longtime physician Dr. Roy Livingstone in July, which means KBRH will have a team of urologic surgeons that will combine

almost three decades of practice with new equipment, techniques and skills.

What does this mean, in particular, for men's health in the region?

One of the most important things, says Dr. Livingstone, is that many patients will no longer have to leave KBRH to have surgeries at hospitals in Vancouver or Kelowna.

“That's the biggest factor,” noted Livingstone, who's been the sole Trail-based urologist for 25 years.

“We were lacking equipment to do certain procedures which we will be able to do with Dr. Robinson.

With his training he will be bringing some new procedures too, so it's a combination of both those things.”

New treatments that Dr. Robinson will introduce at KBRH include expanded laparoscopic techniques, such as removal of a kidney, explained Livingstone.

“We have a new laser that has been used for gall bladders, for example, but not kidneys.”

WEST KOOTENAY U19 FILM FESTIVAL

Workshop provides secrets to movie stunts

BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

Running from big explosions, jumping out of helicopters or flying through the air are just part of an average day for Garvin Cross.

The Rossland resident is a Hollywood stuntman and has spent the last few weeks filming in Vancouver, but now it is time for him to come home and share his industry knowledge with young filmmakers in the Kootenays.

On Saturday, Cross, along with Scott Carlson of Juicy Studios in Rossland, will be teaching an allday filmmaking and stunt workshop to teens age 12 to 19, in conjunction with the West Kootenay U19 Film Festival, which is opening on May 2.

The crash course in moviemaking will cover stunt safety, dramatic camera angles and honing a story.

Cross says that with the natural resources in the area aspiring moviemakers have plenty to film, but he wants to help them hone their process and teach new techniques.

“It is about building a foundation for kids who are already filming mountain bike and ski jumps,” he said. “It is important to take the next step with them and show them storytelling to go along with the stunts.”

Cross has plenty experience in the field, having worked on movies like “Rumble in The Bronx”, “Inception”, Watchmen and “Fantastic Four.”

Lyndon Duperron from Trail did his best not to fall in the river while building an inukshuk on the beach on a sunny Saturday at Gyro Park. The park was abuzz with locals and visitors going for hikes, walking their dogs or just spending some time in the sun.

Stuntman to share tricks of the trade FROM PAGE 1 “I don’t want people to have Kodak courage,” he said, referring to the urge to get dangerous for the sake of a movie.

“It starts with jumping off a cliff for a shot, but you have got to have that safe landing.

“We don’t want the course to be all about stunts. Instead of teaching them how to make another mountain bike piece or another ski film, I want to teach how to cut a shot to make a stunt look dangerous when it isn’t.”

Once safety behind the scenes is covered, Cross says the next step is to tell a story through camera angles, zooming and more.

“We will be helping them figure our how to shoot camera angles that help create suspense, or help create humour,” he said, adding that a dramatic camera zoom can add more emotion

Stuntman Garvin Cross will be sharing his knowledge with young filmmakers this weekend in Rossland. and meaning to a shot. “ It is about using the camera to create excite-

ment or passion or even to slow things down to create beauty.”

The final product at the end of the day-long filming workshop will be a comedy with some light stunts in there, but Cross says the event is about having fun and getting outside.

“It is going to be fun too,” he said.

“It isn’t going to be a day in the classroom. It is going to be fast and furious and we are going to help (the filmmakers) express themselves.

We are going to be shooting outside and engaging everyone in the project. You can do a ski or mountain bike movie, but let’s make it more attractive.”

Presently, Cross is a seasoned veteran in the stuntman world, but he got his start before there were any cameras to capture him jumping out of that airplane.

“I was working up at (Red

Mountain) and didn’t want to be a ski bum my whole life, so I went to Europe,” he said. “When I got back, I started doing smoke jumps – parachuting out of a plane or helicopter into a forest fire, so I’ve always had the bug.”

His passion for safety during a stunt also came from smoke jumping before his movie career began.

“When people are jumping into their areas to fight a fire, there is so much planning involved,” he said. “We had to have a plan. You have to know your levels and your talent and understand the forethought that goes into a stunt.”

To get in on Cross’ 30 years of stuntman experience, visit www.u19filmfest. com/workshops and fill out the form. Registration is $25 and includes lunch. The workshop runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is open to film buffs age 12 to 18.

Nominations wanted for Citizen of the Year

Local

By Liz Bevan Times Staff

There is just under a month left to submit nomination forms for the the Knights of Columbus 2014 Trail-Warfield Citizen of the Year, honouring community service and volunteerism.

Brian Volpatti, a member of the Citizen of the Year Committee, says that annual accolade is important to the community because it recognizes those who give hours of their time without receiving anything in return.

“It is all about volunteers,” he said. “There are so many volunteers in Trail and Warfield and some of them are visible, but many stay behindthe-scenes and do just as much work. They spend a lot of time helping others.”

Nomination packages can be picked up in a list of locations around the Trail and Warfield area including Kootenay Savings branches, the Trail and District Public Library, Trail's municipal office, Warfield's village office and churches all over Trail.

“We try to cover all of our bases,” said Volpatti, adding that the Citizen of the Year designation isn't just open to retirement age residents. “They don't have to be retirees or older people. It can be a young person as well. There are lots of young people who do a lot of good work in the area.”

The award will be handed out to the winner in a ceremony that coincides with the annual Silver City Days celebrations – Trail's week-long festival in early May. The deadline for nominations is April 2 at 12 p.m. and packages can be dropped off at Trail's city hall. For more information on the nomination process, call Volpatti at 250-364-1445.

Well upgrades may cause ‘chlorine odour’ in some taps

By Liz Bevan Times Staff

Bear Creek well and pump house in Waneta are getting shut down today for upgrades and repairs.

The shutdown will last approximately two months to make improvements in efficiency and reservoir capacity with a planned reopening on April 30, according to a City of Trail press release from Monday.

While the well is undergoing work, residents in Shavers Bench, Miral Heights, Glenmerry and Waneta will be receiving their household water directly from the city's water treatment plant rather than the pump house.

City officials say some people, “may notice a chlorine odour,” in their water during the scheduled maintenance, but suggest filling an open-top container with the tap water and leaving it overnight in the fridge to get rid of the smell.

Anyone with questions about water or the water treatment plant call 250-364-0842.

Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital's health foundation launched its new Urology Surgical Equipment Campaign today.

The Trail Hospital Auxiliary pledged $60,000 toward the campaign's $400,000 target, and donated $45,000 upfront. The health foundation will use the funds to purchase updated equipment prior to the arrival of a new urologist, Dr. Micheal Robinson, this summer. The Rossland Health Care Auxiliary Society has also pledged $60,000 for the two-year campaign. (Left to right: Allana Ferro, president of the Trail Hospital Auxiliary, Dr. Roy Livingstone, Lisa Pasin, the foundation's director of development, and Joan Hanson from the Rossland Health Care Auxiliary Society.)

Equipment will allow patients to stay close to home FROM PAGE 1 “We’ve been having to send patients to Vancouver so this campaign will help us get new equipment to expand the use of that laser.”

In advance of Dr. Robinson’s arrival, the health foundation is hoping to raise $150,000 by mid-summer.

“Although the foundation will gladly receive donations for the urology campaign until the $400,000 goal is reached,” says health foundation director Lisa Pasin.

“We are encouraging those interested to donate early in the campaign, to ensure our new physician will have the necessary equipment on site and ready.”

Treatment of urological diseases at KBRH, like kidney cancer, will be advanced in tandem with updated operative equipment, which is less risky and requires less recovery time than “open” surgeries.

“New laparoscopic equipment, like the harmonic

scalpel will enable our new surgeon to perform minimally invasive surgery to treat kidney cancer,” explains Jane Cusden, KBRH’s acute health service director. “In addition to the acquisition of new laparoscopic equipment, updating of open surgical instruments will allow surgical treatment of prostate and bladder cancer without patients having to travel outside the area.”

Aside from specific cancer therapies, treatment of renal stones and benign prostate disease will also be improved with new equipment.

“New flexible ureteroscopes will greatly increase the number of patients who can have their kidney stones treated locally,” noted Cusden.

She said additional flexible “scopes” will further improve the diagnosis and management of benign prostrate disease, bladder cancer, and aid in preoperative planning for prostate diseases.

While both men and women requiring urologic assessment and care will benefit, Cusden maintains that the urology campaign is timely, given the spotlight on men’s health through relatively new initiatives like “Movember,” which raises money for men’s unique health challenges, like prostate cancer.

“This is a multi-faceted area of medicine that requires a multi-disciplinary team approach, of which the urologist is a key member,” she said. “Having the requisite surgical equipment to deliver a broad spectrum of contemporary urologic care further enhances the ability to deliver high quality care in the field of men’s health.”

A urologist is a physician with specialized knowledge and skill regarding problems of the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive organs Issues that a urologist may manage include male infer-

tility, androgen replacement therapies, sexual health and benign prostate disease, as well as prostate and testicular malignancies.

For information or to donate contact the KBRH Health Foundation toll free at 1.888.364.3424, locally at 250.364.3424 or email info@ kbrhhealthfoundation.ca.

Formerly called the Trail Regional Hospital Foundation, the KBRH foundation is in its 27th year of raising money to advance health care in the Kootenay Boundary.

The foundation revenue, over $13 million to date, is generated through donations from private and corporate donors.

Funding priorities include raising endowed gifts and annual funds to support health care equipment needs, staff education, and special initiatives to enhance health care through the Trail hospital and other Kootenay Boundary facilities.

Warm weather worries fruit growers

By Kathy Michaels Kelowna Capital News

The average Okanagan resident may be reveling in the record breaking warmth of February, but the valley’s fruit growers are a little less pleased.

“The weather has been causing some concern…this is the last week of February and the lilacs are starting to bush and I can see that coloured hue in the peaches next door,” said Fred Steele, president of the BC Fruit Growers’ Association.

“The sap is starting to run and the trees are starting to wake up.”

One potential problem with the reawakening is that March could bring winter back with a heavy frost, and those now vulnerable trees won’t be able to withstand the change.

“Back in the winter of 1949, we had double digit temperatures in daytime and then double digit below zero in the evenings,” Steele said, noting that was back in the days of farenheit.

“It killed thousands of trees. Split

them right in half.”

The other potential problem of escalating warmth is that the growing season could be adversely affected.

There are times in the growing season where you get that heat, and everything slows down to a crawl,” he said.

“It’s when the temperature drops down again, they grow and change colour.”

Both size and colour impact the buying price of a crop.

And then there are issues about timing sprays, and life cycle of the bugs that plague trees.

“Basically this is an unsettled year— we don’t know what’s coming,” he said, pointing out that crop insurance is particularly important this year.

In the meantime, farmers are hoping temperatures will cool down to seasonal norms, and little rain will follow. They’re also going to enjoy what’s turned out to be a particularly pleasant pruning season.

“The reason for (the warm month) is

Three mountain rescues

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - Search crews have recovered a pair of hypothermic climbers in the third rescue on the same North Shore mountain since Saturday.

The search was executed after the two men in their mid-20s failed to return from an expedition on Crown Mountain.

Mike Danks of North Shore Rescue says the men were quickly located and crews were sent in from Grouse Mountain and Lynne Headwaters at first light Monday.

Danks says the men are uninjured but very hypothermic after spending the night on the mountain in a hole they dug in the snow.

North Shore Rescue executed two separate rescues on Crown Mountain Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

School districts wrestling with ‘unfair’ mandated budget cuts

By Steph Troughton Surrey News Leader

Both the Surrey and Delta school districts are stunned by the recent provincial budget announcement that requires school districts provincewide to reduce spending on administration and related services by $29 million in the upcoming school year and a further $25 million in 2016-2017.

Longtime Surrey school Trustee Laurae McNally called the government directive “completely unfair,” saying the province is “penalizing” Surrey with the funding reduction as the district already has the lowest administrative costs of any of the 60 school districts in the province.

“And it has been that way for years,” McNally said. “You can’t get any lower than number one.”

Though Surrey, the biggest district in the province, already has an efficient administrative budgeting record – and is forced to spend more than $4 million in funding on portable classrooms annually due to a lack of school space – trustees are concerned the province will divide the mandated cuts equally among

The LeRoi Community Foundation of Greater Trail is pleased to announce another granting cycle. The LCF has a limited number of grants to award to other registered charities for projects that benefit the communities of Fruitvale, Montrose, Rossland, Trail, Warfield and Areas A & B of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary. The LeRoi Community Foundation Grants Program supports:

the B.C. districts.

Surrey presently has more than 300 portables and must not only pay for the buildings, but for their depreciation, upkeep, utilities servicing and cleaning.

The Surrey School District wrote Education Minister Peter Fassbender about the concerns but have yet to receive a response.

Fassbender, however, did issue a public statement Thursday.

“We have to do this (challenge school boards to find administrative savings) because, while we’re putting more into the system, in spite of declining student enrolment, school districts are spending more money on administration than ever before,” he wrote.

“All we’re asking school districts to do is to find administrative savings to reflect the percentage they were spending 10 years ago – about six per cent.”

Delta school district chairperson Laura Dixon also said the announcement was disappointing and came as a complete surprise.

“We are at a bit of a loss where we would go to find these efficiencies.”

Referee blows whistle on abusive fan

By Mark Brett

Penticton Western News

Alleged abuse of on-ice officials has resulted in the father of a Merritt Centennials hockey player being banned from his son’s games for the rest of this season and facing possible legal charges as well.

The case involved an incident in the rear parking lot of the South Okanagan Events Centre following the Feb. 20 B.C. Hockey League game between the Centennials and Penticton Vees.

According to a report filed with Penticton RCMP by Derek Adams, director of officiating for the BCHL, the unidentified Kamloops man reportedly confronted the officials after they exited the building.

“It appears the man became very abusive to the referees and it says in the report that no direct (physical confrontation) occurred because the suspect was able to be controlled by his son,” said Sgt. Rick Dellebuur.

“In order to be a threat it has to be something that that would cause a person to fear he was going to be harmed.”

The investigation is still in the initial stages and as of yet no decision has been made about charges.

“Nobody likes to see stuff like that, and yes, it’s an emotional game and all that but we want to make sure our referees are protected,” said BCHL Commissioner John Grisdale.

“From a league side we don’t condone that and we prohibited him from being in the arenas for the rest of the season and we’ve made that direction to the Merritt hockey club.

“I would encourage officials that when they leave the buildings to go out into the parking lot, if they feel threatened in any way shape or form, verbally or physically they need to deal with it through the police.

Officials take abuse all the time and it’s not acceptable.

“It’s unfortunate, because nobody gets paid enough, especially at the Junior A level, to go through that.”

Grisdale added he does not recall a similar incident happening in the league prior to this.

“It’s the end of the season with the playoffs coming up and games get important and it’s emotional but this is not good for anybody,” he said.

Parents abuse of opposing players and officials is increasingly under the microscope these days, especially following the ban of five parents of midget-aged players from attending their sons game by the Vancouver Island Amateur Association for their actions.

That upper ridge works sort of like an umbrella for the Southern Interior, she explained. It’s pushing up warmer temperatures from the southern part of the province while shielding the region from weather across the mountain ridges that separate it from Alberta.

It’s meant that Kelowna had record breaking temperatures throughout the month. On Feb. 6 the temp was 11.6 C, which broke a record of 5.7 C on the same day in 2009.

Next, on Feb. 8 mercury rose to 12.1 C, and broke the record of 8.6 C set that day in 1998. On Feb. 11, temperatures peaked at 9.2 C and that broke the old record of 7.6 C set in 1998.

Then things got really steamy. On Valentine’s Day temperature highs were 13.2 C, breaking a 9 C record set in 2003. Then, Feb. 15 temperatures came in at 10.7 C, breaking a record of 9.7 set in 1994.

National February was the coldest month on record for Quebec, parts of Ontario THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - Between Ontario and Quebec deep freezes, the Maritime snowpocalypse, and British Columbia’s early spring, February was a month of extreme weather.

In general, temperatures across Quebec and southern Ontario were seven to nine degrees colder than the historic averages.

Quebec experienced the coldest February since at least 1889 - for example, Montreal recorded an average temperature of -14.9 C, compared to an average of -8.5 C. Other parts of the province fared even worse, with Quebec City reporting a temperature of -17.8 C. Environment Canada meteorologist Maxime Desharnais says it was the persistent cold and wind that set this year apart.

He said a jet stream of frigid air from the Northwest Territories kept a cold air mass trapped over parts of Ontario and Quebec for most of the month.

“The physics of the atmosphere just meant it took a long time to move,” he said.

Ottawa recorded its coldest-ever February, with an average temperature of -16.8 C, shattering the former record set in 1979.

In Toronto, it was the first February in 75 years where the temperature did not climb above the freezing mark.

Many Maritimers spent most of the month digging out after record snowfalls.

Both Halifax and Moncton recorded more than double the average amount of snow for the month.

Charlottetown was buried under more than seven feet of snow (222.8 cm), including nearly 90 cm in a single storm that hit PEI’s capital on February 16th.

By comparison, residents of British Columbia’s lower mainland have had reason to gloat as they experienced weather that was comparatively springlike.

The province as a whole was three to five degrees warmer than normal, which Desharnais said was “very significant.”

Vancouver recorded an average temperature of 7.5 C, with temperatures climbing to 14 C on some days in February.

Men who built Toronto mystery tunnel wanted place to ‘hang out,’ police say THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A mystery tunnel discovered near a Pan Am Games venue in north Toronto was built by two men who wanted a place to “hang out,” police said Monday.

The pair, who were tracked down thanks to tips from the public, told investigators they built the tunnel for “personal reasons” and their explanation has been verified, Const.

Victor Kwong said.

Kwong said police have determined there was never any criminal intent or danger to public safety, and no charges will be laid.

“It literally was

these two guys who had an idea to create a place to themselves to hang out in,” he said.

“You think about a kid making a fort, digging a hole - add 15 years to that,” he said.

Kwong said the men are not believed to be survivalists, adding they just “wanted to dig a tunnel.”

The men had “no idea” they weren’t allowed to dig in a public park and were apologetic during their interview with police, he said.

Toronto bylaw enforcement said they would look into whether any city rules had been breached and

whether any tickets or fines would be issued.

Police are not releasing the men’s names, or any further details since the case is not a criminal investigation, but Kwong said there is no connection to York University, near the site where the tunnel was found, or the Pan Am Games.

Toronto police announced the discovery of the tunnel on Feb. 24 and released photos of the site, prompting media coverage across Canada and abroad.

Auction makes sure captured horses aren’t sold for meat THE CANADIAN PRESS INNISFAIL, Alta.

- More than a dozen wild Alberta horses that were auctioned off over the weekend have been saved from the slaughterhouse.

The Innisfail Auction Market says it made sure the 14 animals, which were among 33 wild horses captured in the Ghost River area west of Calgary last month, were sold only to ranchers, farmers or private individuals.

The rest were in the care of rescuers with the hope they will eventually be adopted.

Bob Henderson of

the Wild Horses of Alberta Society had feared the animals that went to auction would end up as meat, noting older wild horses are difficult to tame.

The organization works with the Alberta government to manage its wild horse population, which the province says damages grasslands used for livestock grazing and by wildlife such

as elk.

The government says the horses are descendants of domestic animals used in logging and mining operations in the early 1900s.

“These horses are in better shape than most people that have been feeding horses,” said Danny Daines from the Innisfail Auction Market.

“We have a Walt Disney ending here.”

is located 25 metres from the fence of the Rexall Centre, which is to host tennis events for the summer’s Pan Am Games.

Inside, police say they found plywood wall supports, a generator and a sump pump, as well as a rosary with a Remembrance Day poppy nailed to a wall.

Police said the chamber was almost two metres high, 86 centimetres wide and 10 metres long.

Even though the bunker “looked impressive,” the men have no formal training in construction, Kwong said.

Deputy police Chief Mark Saunders had said there was no evi-

dence to suggest any criminal intent in the tunnel’s construction, adding “there’s no criminal offence for digging a hole.”

But he asked for the public’s help in solving the mystery and said police would continue to investigate until they discovered who built it, and that other authorities - including national and international security agencies - were notified.

The discovery of what has become known as the “mystery tunnel” made international headlines, while social media bubbled with theories that ranged from zombie hideouts to affordable housing.

Pay down that student loan or else

I

n a recent speech, Premier Christy Clark quipped that while teenagers tend to be lazy, there is a limit.

If your kid is still on the couch after age 30, she said, he’s not a teenager any more. “He’s a New Democrat.”

Clark’s ‘get off the couch and get a job’ message is now being translated into government policy.

The B.C. government is using one of the few tools available to it to track down people who aren’t paying off their student loans, by linking defaulted debt to driver’s licence renewals.

There are “hardship” provisions for those who don’t have a job. ICBC will only refuse to renew a driver’s licence or vehicle plates for those who have let their student debt go for a year without making some effort to deal with it.

Student debt collection is a long-standing prob-

lem for the province, with about $185 million currently on the books as defaulted and unpaid.

Students naturally move around after completing their studies, and once the six-month grace period for beginning to repay student loans expires, finding those who aren’t paying becomes a costly effort.

Historically governments sent defaulted debt to collection agencies.

Last year $17.3 million was collected.

How big is student debt these days? The subject was discussed briefly in the legislature last week.

In question period, NDP leader John Horgan reminded the government that tuition fees have doubled over the past decade, and cited a Bank of Montreal estimate that the average university student emerges from a four-year program owing $35,000 in student loans.

With his usual modesty and tact, Advanced

TOM

FLETCHER B.C. Views

Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson dismissed Horgan’s accusation that he is indifferent to the plight of students.

Wilkinson noted that the Bank of Montreal surveyed 602 students across Canada, and only 78 of them were in B.C. “To clarify this, and to address the cackling chickens on the other side, we have 430,000 students in our system,” Wilkinson said.

“Some of them are part-time; some of them are on short courses. We have 180,000 students

who are in the system full-time and eligible for student aid.

“Of those 180,000 students, 45,000 turn to the province for financial aid – meaning that 75 per cent of students, more than what was quoted on the CBC yesterday, go through their education without incurring debt through the provincial student aid program.”

Whatever the amount owing is for an individual, it’s a debt that will be more difficult to avoid paying.

The province has long used the withholding of driving privileges to collect unpaid provincial court fines, and that was recently extended to those who are 90 days in arrears on $25 or more worth of Lower Mainland bridge tolls.

This student debt collection move follows efforts to match up post-secondary funding to areas of employment demand. In an era where

misguided university professors use their positions to organize violent protests against job-creating projects, the messages are similar.

Variations of this productivity theme are being heard from governments across North America.

The baby boomers are retiring.

We are bringing in temporary foreign workers, not because of some right-wing plot, but because too many people growing up in our society refuse to do an increasing range of jobs.

We have an education system – and media – that encourages people to complain and make demands to get what they want.

And we are seeing the results of all of this.

There was a U.S. president once who said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - This summer’s “Sharknado 3” will usher in the Cuban-Coulter administration.

The SyFy network said Monday that Dallas Mavericks owner and “Shark Tank” star Mark Cuban will play the president of the United States in the third installment of the goofy “Sharknado” TV movie series, set to premiere in July. Conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter will be his vice-president.

The network previously said Bo Derek will have a cameo as star Tara Reid’s mother, Jerry Springer will play a tourist and ‘N Sync singer Chris Kirkpatrick will be a pool lifeguard.

This year the toothy storm terrorizes Washington, D.C.

Putin initially accepted that outcome (with the elections moved up to only one month in the future), which was brokered by the European Union. In other words, he accepted the illegal overthrow of the pro-Moscow president, Viktor Yanukovych, so long as free elections followed rapidly. Quite possibly because he thought Yanukovych’s supporters in the east might boost him back into the presidency again.

That same thought may also be why the revolutionaries in Kiev broke the deal and insisted on Yanukovych’s immediate removal from power. It was only then that Putin concluded that he was faced with a Western plot to whisk Ukraine into NATO and create a strategic and political threat on Russia’s southern frontier.

There was no such plot: NATO has not the slightest desire to assume responsibility for the defence of Ukraine.

But there was a great deal of open Western rejoicing at Russia’s discomfiture, and Putin lost his customary cool and responded with the annexation of Crimea and then the encouragement of pro-Russian rebels in southeastern Ukraine.

“Absolute power corrupts absolutely,” said Lord Acton.

“All great men are bad.” In that sense, Putin is a bad man, and more dangerous for being both paranoid and increasingly isolated. (His circle of advisers has dwindled to a handful of hawks.) But he is not planning to conquer even Ukraine, let alone the rest of the former Soviet empire, and he almost certainly did not order Nemtsov’s death.

PEOPLE Leonard Nimoy

Actor’s death touches little Alberta town

Elsie M. Wallace Elsie M. Wallace passed away peacefully on February 28th at the age of 102 with her family by her side. She was born September 10, 1912 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

She was predeceased by her husband Leslie and an infant son, her father Reginal J. Woode, her mother Jean (Woode) Sinclair. She was also predeceased by her brothers James and Archie Woode and Lloyd Sinclair and her sister Dorothy Arn and niece Dolores Vantassel.

She is survived by her daughter LaVonne Colussi (Saverio) of Montrose and her son Terry Wallace (Linda) of Vancouver. She leaves her four grandchildren, Cindy Nardi (Tom) of Windsor, California, Bruce Colussi (Pietrina) of Fruitvale.

Damian Wallace (Lisa) of Vancouver and Martin Wallace (Shauna) of Vancouver.

Also left to mourn are her sisters Audrey Marcotte of Prince Albert and Lorraine Marcotte of Calgary and her brother Lorne Sinclair (Marge) of Kinistino,and her sister-in-law Bernice Sinclair. She leaves many nieces and nephews in B.C, Alberta and Saskatchewan and her niece Frances Doherty of Montrose.

Elsie came to Trail in 1942 to join Les who was working at C.M.&S. Her first job in 1937 was cooking for a 12 man grain threshing crew. She cooked three big meals a day on a small cook stove in a shack on wheels without running water and received $5.00 a month. She ran a room and board house for single C.M.& S. workers In Trail.

Elsie played the piano in a band as a teenager and later in Trail. She also worked in the old Hospital and the present Hospital.

She won first prize for her flower garden from the Village of Montrose at age 85. She loved to do crossword puzzles and read Catherine Cookson novels which she did until her 102nd birthday.

Besides Montrose, Elsie lived at Beaver Valley Manor, Rosewood Village and then Poplar Ridge Pavilion at the Trail Hospital where she made her home for the last two years. She was kindly and respectfully looked after by the wonderful staff at P.R.P. and we can’t thank them enough.

The family would like to thank Dr. C. Neil and all the staff at Beaver Valley Clinic for their many years of kindness.

By request there will be no service and cremation has taken place. Interment will take place at the Fruitvale Memorial Cemetery at a later date. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements.

You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www. myalternatives.ca.

THE CANADIAN PRESS VULCAN, Alta. - The tiny town of Vulcan, Alta., virtually tripled in size the day that actor Leonard Nimoy detoured from a comic book convention in 2010 to visit the community that has cosmically connected itself to his Star Trek character, Mr. Spock.

And so it was fond memories of the man, and his humanity, that prompted feelings of personal loss in residents upon learning of his death on Friday, at age 83.

“We’re all grieving,” said Shannon Clarke, with the Vulcan Tourism and Trek Station, recalling Nimoy’s springtime visit five years ago. “He

made our town feel really important.

“He just captured all of our hearts.

Genuinely, a wonderful man.”

A collective sadness rippled through the town of fewer than 2,000 people, southeast of Calgary, that shares the name of Spock’s home planet in the ground-breaking TV series.

Residents amassed emails, phone calls and Facebook posts conveying condolences from around the globe, prompting contemplation about his legacy.

“He was quite a gentleman,” said Mason Dodds, a professional photographer who snapped pictures of the massive turnout

Jalo Pirinen Was born in Juuka, Finland on April 16th, 1943 and passed away suddenly on February 23, 2015 in Trail, BC. He is survived by his four children; Sari, Ismo (Rachel), Marko (Teena) and Timo as well as his grandchildren Mellisa, Christine, Derek Jr. and Isaac.

Jalo was a long-time member of the Finnish Association of BC. He was also a proud member of several carpenter’s unions during his working career.

He loved to spend his time hunting and fishing. He loved to travel. Jalo especially enjoyed his time spent with his grandchildren. He will be missed and always remembered for being a very kind soul.

Gwen Ziprick of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with the arrangements. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence by visiting the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca As an expression of sympathy, donations is Jalo’s name may be made to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation at 938 West 28th Avenue Vancouver, BC, V5Z 4H4 or online at www.bcchf.ca

of costumed fans.

He recalled Nimoy’s speech and witnessing the unveiling of a bronze bust, describing a man who beamed star-power over the entire town.

“You don’t get a crowd of this size and have that many people show up and that not have an impact on you,” he said. “For one guy to come here for two hours and have that kind of response...”

Star Trek tributes are commonplace throughout Vulcan, from a mural painted along a lengthy brickwall to the Starfleet insignia emblazoning several sidewalks.

The postmaster cancels outgoing mail with a stamp of the Starship Enterprise, while Star Trekthemed hotel rooms are booked solid during an annual Spock Days Festival.

Nimoy took it upon himself to assist the town gain official licensing with CBS to be named the Star Trek Capital of Canada, said Clarke.

He also ensured four busloads of resident fans were whisked

to preview a new Star Trek film in Calgary - after failing in his bid to have Vulcan host the 2009 premiere because the town doesn’t have its own theatre.

Business owner Louise Christie, who’s lived in Vulcan for 15 years, said Nimoy’s support and advocacy was an economic boon to the community.

“Any small town in Alberta will tell you, if you can find something to get people to visit you, then you’ve got to find it, right?

And this has just been a godsend, really.

“The man has helped to put the town on the map.”

Residents agreed they aren’t looking to cash in on Nimoy’s death, but they expect his passing to spur a resurgence in interest that will potentially be financially lucrative.

The town is likely to host a memorial, said Clarke. She also expects a surge of visitors for an upcoming July Vul-Con expo.

But while she’s hopeful the loss will again bring their community together, she said it was devastating

In loving memory of

Charles Morey

Charles was born in Nelson, BC on September 20, 1950 and passed away in Trail BC, February 25, 2015.

Family and friends are invited to join a celebration of life at the Gateway Christian Life Centre on Thursday, March 5, 2015 at 2:00 pm with Pastor Carl Sawler officiating.

For those who wish, a donation may be made in Charles’s memory to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital Foundation at 1200 Hospital Bench, Trail, BC, V1R 4M1 or online at www.kbrhhealthfoundation.ca You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca.

Nimoy died only one year before the Star Trek series’ 50th anniversary.

“It would have been really nice if he had held on ... so he could have been around for that,” she said.

Residents said they expect an ongoing commemoration of Nimoy’s life that will continue to illuminate their town.

“Mr. Nimoy’s visit to us here was certainly a highlight to the community,” said Dodds. “Those that got to witness it will never forget.”

Minnie Minoso

Major Leaguer played five decades THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO - Minnie Minoso, who hit a tworun home run in his first at-bat when he became major league baseball’s first black player in Chicago in 1951, has died, the Cook County medical examiner said Sunday.

The medical examiner’s office did not immediately offer further details. The White Sox say he was 92.

Minoso played 12 of his 17 seasons in Chicago, hitting .304 with 135 homers and 808 RBIs for the White Sox. The White Sox retired his No. 9 in 1983 and there is a statue of Minoso at U.S. Cellular Field.

Minoso, regarded as baseball’s first black Latino star, was a Havana native who spent most of his career in left field. He is one of only two players to appear in a major league game in five different decades. He got his final hit in 1976 at age 53 and went 0 for 2 in two games in 1980 for the White Sox, who tried unsuccessfully over the years to get the “Cuban Comet” into baseball’s Hall of Fame.

Smokies end season on high note

BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Effort

The Trail Smoke Eaters ended their season on a winning note beating the Merritt Centennials 5-2 in Merritt on Saturday.

Dexter McLeod would net the winner at 5:26 of the second period on the power play, taking a Dallas Calvin pass down low and tapping it home to put the Smokies up 3-1.

“We were facing a team that was already preparing for playoffs, and they played hard, but I thought to get the result we did, for the effort we put forward, was appropriate to end our season on a good note,” said Smoke Eater coach Nick Deschenes.

“Again, you question deep down how certain teams are in it, and we’re not.”

The Centennials clinched a playoff berth and third seed in the Interior division with a 5-1 victory over Salmon Arm on Friday night in a playoff race that went down to the final game. The Silverbacks lost their chance at the post season when they fell to the league leading Penticton Vees 2-1 in overtime in their last match on Saturday, and West Kelowna beat the league’s worst team, the Surrey Eagles, 6-2, to edge the Salmon Arm by one point for the fourth and final playoff spot.

Craig Martin opened the scoring at 9:55 of the first period beating Anthony Pupplo with a wrist shot,

and Jake Lucchini would score his 35th of the season to make it 2-0 just 48 seconds later. The Centennials would get one back before the end of the period, after Trail goalie Brett Clark made a great save off Gavin Gould, John Schiavo would shovel in the rebound to make it 2-1.

Following McLeod’s game winner, Calvin would get one of his own with under five minutes to play in the middle frame to make it 4-1 heading to the third where the teams would exchange goals, with Sheldon Brett scoring for Trail, to end the regular season.

Merritt outshot Trail 28-19, with Lucchini getting the game’s first star, and McLeod, and Calvin second and third stars respectively.

The game ended what was a disappointing year for the Smoke Eaters. After a promising start, injuries took their toll, contributing to an extended midseason slump that all but decided their playoff fate.

“We are going up against some very stiff competition . . . it’s a little bit different then say the NHL, where they have a strong farm system,” said Deschenes. “We have an affiiation process, but it’s tough to find players sometimes, and obviously they’re not involved in your day-to-day operations, so for them to come in and make a difference in our game is a pretty nerve-racking experience . . . So injuries definitely have more

impact at the junior level, and if you look at our AP games, you could add about 20 because we didn’t dress a lot of the spots going down the stretch, we are looking at 80-90 AP games which is ridiculous. Penticton has 20 I think, and Vernon 25 and that’s with guys going to World Junior challenges. It is what it is, I’d love to have everyone healthy and going, but that’s the nature of sports.”

The Centennials start their playoff on Tuesday versus the Vernon Vipers, while the Warriors play the Penticton Vees in the best of seven Interior division semfinal.

In the Mainland division playoff bracket, the Chilliwack Chiefs went from worst to first this season, finishing atop their division with 79 points compared to 35 last season.

The Chiefs, with former Smoke Eater captain Scott Davidson, will play fourth-seed Coquitlam Express starting tonight, while the second-seed Langley Rivermen host the Prince George Spruce Kings.

In the Island division, the firstplace Nanaimo Clippers face the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, and the surging Victoria Grizzlies, who won seven games in a row to end the season, will face third-seed Powell River Spruce Kings in the other playoff match up.

Watch for the Smokies season wrap up later this week in the Trail Times.

After eliminating the Nelson Leafs on Thursday, 4-3, in double overtime, the Beaver Valley Nitehawks played their first game of the best-of-seven Neil Murdoch division final against the Castlegar Rebels on Monday and will face off for Game 2 tonight at 7 p.m. at the Hawks Nest. (Unfortunately, due to the lateness of the game, the Monday night score was unavailable at press time.)

The Rebels beat the Braves, 4-2, in Game 6 of their divisional playoff Friday to win the semifinal series four games to two to and move onto the division final against the Hawks.

“It’s always fun,” said Nitehawks assistant coach Kevin Limbert. “A great rivalry, and it’s going to be high paced, and it’s going to be good quality hockey so I’m looking forward to it.”

The Nitehawks won the regular season series over the second-seed Rebels 5-2, however, two of those games were decided in overtime and, given the historic and intense rivalry, the series won’t be easy for either team.

“They have some skilled guys, and obviously a couple good goaltenders for sure, but we’re mostly concerned with how we play, and making sure we bring our best game to the table,” said Limbert. “They are going to work hard, and play a physical game so we have to make sure we match that intensity, and are playing physical as well.”

In Thursday’s match, the Nitehawks overcame a 2-0 deficit in the third period to comeback and defeat the Nelson Leafs 4-3 in double overtime to win the Neil Murdoch division semi-final series, four-games-to-one.

“It was a hard-fought series,” said Limbert. “I don’t think the final, 4-game-to-1, was indicative of the play, every game was close, two went to overtime, and they

battled hard and we battled hard, and it was a great series.”

Nitehawks forward Spencer McLean was the overtime hero in Game 5, taking a pass from Mitch Foyle and wiring a shot top corner on Leaf AP goalie Jason Mailhiot at 8:52 for the double overtime winner.

“Foyler just threw a pass at me, and the first thing I thought was just throw it on net, took a slap shot and (Nelson d-man) St. Pierre got his stick on it, and it just went in,” said McLean after the game.

The OT goal ended a physical series in which the Leafs, despite a rash of injuries, pushed the Nitehawks to the limit in almost every game, adding another chapter to the bitter rivalry. It was McLean’s second goal of the game, after scoring what looked to be the game winner midway through the third to put the Hawks up 3-2, until Nelson’s Robson Cramer tied it with just 25 seconds remaining in regulation.

“For not having very many guys, they (Nelson) really worked hard,” said Nitehawks coach Terry Jones. “They have some great hockey players, and in some respects I just hate shaking the kids hands, because it’s their last game, and knowing those guys just gave it all they had out there.”

After a slow start, the Hawks got back on track in the second period, outshooting the Leafs 13-8, but couldn’t beat Mailhiot.

However, a 5-on-3 penalty kill, highlighted by an incredible save by Schamerhorn, was the TSN turning point. The Leafs had a glorious opportunity to go up 3-0 when Miller sent a cross-ice pass to Leafs’ Dylan Williamson who blasted it at the open cage, but Schamerhorn dove across and robbed the Leafs forward with a glove save. The stop would keep the period scoreless, and set up the Hawks comeback in the third.

It looked like the Hawks would win it in regulation, but with the Leafs in desperation mode and their goalie on the bench, Cramer blasted a point shot through a screen with 25 seconds to play to tie it and force overtime.

McLean savoured the win, but the Montrose native was already looking ahead to the next round after ending the Leaf season.

“It feel awesome right now,” said McLean. “But we have to keep moving forward, we know what we got to do and think about the next round and forget about this one.”

Beaver Valley plays the Rebels tonight for Game 2 of the Neil Murdoch division final at 7 p.m. at the Beaver Valley Arena.

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The troubled characters in Xavier Dolan’s forceful film “Mommy” had no trouble sweeping the Canadian Screen Awards on Sunday night, when the acclaimed feature racked up nine prizes including best picture.

Dolan’s raw look at a widowed mother and her violent teenage son dominated the film categories, with the 25-year-old Quebec phenom taking best director, best editing and best original screenplay for himself.

The wins began before the glitzy CBC broadcast even hit the air, when an emotional Dolan was awarded the best editing and best original screenplay award in a non-televised pre-show.

“I’d love to thank my mother and dedicate this award to her, I truly mean it,” said Dolan, whose searing debut, “I Killed My Mother” was also an intense mother-son saga.

Meanwhile in the TV categories, the sci-fi clone saga “Orphan Black” loomed large, with wins for best drama and best TV drama actress for star Tatiana Maslany.

That was on top of eight other awards it won at an earlier ceremony.

“It’s such an honour to be here tonight,” Maslany said as she claimed her trophy for deftly handling a slew of disparate, cloned characters.

The CBC broadcast was hosted by a jovial Andrea Martin who kicked off proceedings with jabs at Canadian politeness and frigid temperatures, and shoutouts to famous faces in the audience, including friend Eugene Levy and recent Oscar-winner Julianne Moore.

U.S. star John Cusack won the best supporting actor prize for “Maps to the Stars,” but was not on hand to accept.

In other TV wins, TMN/Movie Central’s “Call Me Fitz” capped its final season with the title of best TV comedy, besting CBC-TV’s “Mr. D,” City’s “Seed,” CTV’s “Spun Out,” and Super Channel’s “Tiny Plastic Men.” Show creator Sheri Elwood said the win marked a bittersweet end to the raunchy series, an awards show favourite that starred Jason Priestley as a foul-mouthed sleazeball.

In other prizes, the best feature length documentary award went to “Super Duper Alice Cooper.”?

TV LISTINGS Box office

‘Focus’ cools off ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Will Smith’s con-man caper “Focus” disrobed “Fifty Shades of Grey” at the box office, but the film’s modest $19.1 million opening still left questions about the drawing power of the once unstoppable star.

According to studio estimates Sunday, Warner Bros.’ “Focus” easily topped all competitors on a weekend with little competition at North American multiplexes. In second place was the Colin Firth spy thriller “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” which made $11.8 million in its third week of release.

After two weeks atop the box office, “Fifty Shades of Grey” continued its steep slide, landing in fourth with an estimated $10.9 million for Universal Pictures. “Fifty Shades,” which has made $486.2 million globally, fell just behind Paramount’s “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water,” which earned $11.2 million in its fourth week.

The weekend’s only other new wide release, Relativity’s horror film “The Lazarus Effect,” opened in fifth place with $10.6 million.

But the weekend was largely seen, fairly or not, as a referendum on Smith’s star power. “Focus,” written and directed by the “Crazy, Stupid, Love” duo Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, is Smith’s first film since 2013’s “After Earth,” the sci-fi flop in which he co-starred with his son, Jaden.

But “Focus,” made for about $50 million and co-starring Margot Robbie of “The Wolf of Wall Street,” was never intended to be a summersized blockbuster. It had been predicted to make around $21 million.

Some of last Sunday’s Oscar winners saw slight bumps at the box office.

Best-picture winner “Birdman (Or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)” added some 800 screens to bring in $2 million over the weekend, pushing its total past $40 million.

“Still Alice,” for which Julianne Moore won best actress, added 553 screens and earned $2.7 million. It’s now made $12 million for Sony.

“American Sniper,” far and away the biggest box-office hit of the best-picture nominees, was also easily the top post-Oscars draw. It added another $7.7 million, to bring its cumulative domestic gross to $331.1 million.

Maintain relationship with kids for their sake Mailbox

lives. If so, I should just stop trying so hard. I don’t like spending my days thinking about them and feeling hurt.

What do you suggest?

-- Feeling Unloved Dear Unloved: Please do not cut your children out of your life because they are angry and confused and taking it out on you. No matter how upsetting their behavior, they still need you. They also need to know that you will not give up on them.

Talk to your ex-wife.

Explain how this hurts the children, and ask for her help in maintaining a better relationship -- for their sakes. Your contact at

a funeral is to pay respects to the family.

Your sister and her husband were “the family.” While you are not obligated to go to the funeral of someone you barely know, it would have been a kindness to go for your sister’s sake, or at least give her the impression that you wanted to be there but had other serious obligations.

We do think your sister overreacted in the moment, but we also know you’d like to fix this. So apologize to her. Tell her you are so sorry you didn’t go to the funeral, that you should have been there for her and her husband, and that you deeply regret it and hope she can forgive you. It’s not too much to do for a sibling relationship that you value.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Frustrated Wife,” whose husband leaves the cabinet doors open and never puts tools away.

My wonderful, hardworking, intelligent husband exhibits these same tendencies.

I would come home from work exhausted and find the cupboard doors open and things all over the countertops.

At first, I fumed.

Then, God put the thought into my head: If my husband were dead, my cupboard doors would be closed, the screwdriver would be put away and nothing would be out of place. So, I started saying to myself, “Thank you. Hubby is still

alive.” The difference in my attitude makes a big difference in my life. -- Petite Wife in Nebraska Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

this moment in time will reflect on their feelings for you in the future, when they are more mature and able to gain perspective. We know it’s hard. Please don’t make it permanent.

Dear Annie: My sister and her husband have disowned us because we did not go to a memorial service for her husband’s brother, who passed away after a long battle with cancer.

My wife and I saw this brother once every few years at family occasions. We were never at his home. The day of the service, my sister called and asked whether I was coming.

I said no, that I had other things going on, and she hung up.

We are in our late 60s, and I think it’s a shame for them to end a relationship over this. Were we wrong? -Weighing on My Mind in Pennsylvania Dear Weighing: The point of attending

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

Dear Annie: I am a 51-year-old man and have been unemployed for the past three years.

Last year, my wife asked for a divorce.

My question is: What can I do to revitalize my relationship with my three teenage children? I have to initiate all phone calls and texts. They never ask how I am. The youngest is forthcoming about events in his life, but my daughters require extensive questioning, and all I get are brief answers.

I understand that they are angry with me, but I am trying my best to get a new job and move on with my life. Every time I see them, I tell them that I miss them, but only my son says he misses me, too.

It is so frustrating that I don’t want to do this much longer. I have started applying for jobs out of state so I won’t have to deal with the disappointment. I feel that they are trying to keep me out of their

Selkirk College Career Fair provides an edge for students

Submitted CASTLEGAR – Proper planning is vital to success in a new career and Selkirk College is providing the opportunity to explore options this Thursday at the Castlegar Campus.

The annual Selkirk College Career & Education Fair brings together more than 50 exhibitors with community members, students, prospective students and parents for a day of building connections and providing insight into the available avenues for indemand jobs.

“This fair is for everyone,” says Selkirk College Recruitment Specialist Amy Byers. “Businesses are actively recruiting for a variety of positions within their organization. Job seekers get the unique opportunity to meet and connect with employers prior to submitting their resume which can really give them an edge.”

Current Selkirk College and high school students have much to gain by attending the fair which runs between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. in The Pit on the Castlegar Campus.

“Students looking for summer work-terms will benefit from the fair as a number of

employers have summer positions posted,” says Byers.

One of the focuses of the provincial government’s strategy for post-secondary education over the last few years has been the need for qualified tradespeople. Those interested in opportunities in the trades can gather more information at the Career & Education Fair.

“With the release of the BC Skills for Jobs Blueprint and the expected increase in demand for skilled tradespeople, a variety of trades organizations and employers will be providing information on training and career options so those currently looking for job openings or planning a career in the trades can get a jump start now,” says Byers.

High school students, parents and all prospective postsecondary students will also benefit from the fair with Selkirk College representatives set up to help answer questions about programs, admissions and financial aid opportunities.

The Career & Education Fair is free to attend. For a full list of exhibitors and more information on the event go to: selkirk.ca/future-students/ career-and-education-fair.

local Nice day for a drive

Liz Bevan Photo

The Birchbank Golf and Country Club had a jam-packed driving range on Saturday, with nearly every mat filled by golfers trying to get rid of the winter cobwebs. It was the first day the outdoor practice range was open giving golfers an early start to the season before they tee-off for a full 18 holes.
