Medical officer Sláinte on St. Patrick’s Day reassures parents over meningitis concerns Two cases this year at Glenmerry Elementary

BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

Interior Health’s (IH) medical officer is reassuring parents of Glenmerry School students that, despite two cases of meningitis in the last couple of months, there is no imminent danger of an outbreak.

On Friday, parents and students at the school received word there was a student diagnosed with meningitis.

There have been two reported cases of the infectious disease in students from the Trail school in the last couple of months, the most recent just last week.

Dr. Rob Parker, an IH medical health officer, says there is no looming concern of an outbreak to the rest of the school population.

“Because the two cases were in the same school, we figured

the parents might be worried that there is a danger or increased risk and so we just wanted to reassure them that we aren't aware of a connection and of the things they can do right now,” he said, adding that if there was danger to students and staff, IH would take action.

“Schools aren't any more at risk of meningitis than any other setting in the community, like a workplace.

“If it looks like there is some transmission going on in the school setting, then we will go in and provide antibiotics to the classroom or the whole school, plus immunizations, but that is exceedingly rare.

“We will take public health action when there is an increased risk to the general public.”

Meningitis is an infection of the lining of the brain and can be caused by a number of things including bacteria, a virus or in rare cases, a fungal infection.

Ski season gets a reprieve

Sunday snowfall allows Red Mountain to keep most lifts running for now

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

The local ski hill is back on course for spring skiing after a sudden dump of snow this weekend.

No sooner than Red Mountain Resort announced runs on Grey, Granite and Red would close Monday – the mountain was hit with 25 centimetres of fresh snow late Sunday.

That buys more time for spring breakers to ride the Silverlode, Motherlode and Paradise chairs beginning today, confirmed Don Thompson, Red's general manager.

“Everything but Grey will be open, and we will stay operational as long as conditions permit,” he added.

The mountain's thin snow pack created safety concerns and prompted the resort's announce-

ment Sunday afternoon.

Even though a blanket of fresh snow has extended the season, Thompson reminds skiers and boarders that off-piste terrain remains perilous, and he warns those areas are not patrolled.

“Part of the reason we were open so long is because with the thin snowpack you could see the hazards,” he explained. “Now with up to 30 cm on top, it's more challenging to see.

“So for people skiing Paradise, there's good skiing on the groomed runs. So as an advisory, ski the groomed runs.”

The hill will monitor conditions on a day-to-day basis and provide updates at redresort.com.

After an El Niño phenomenon ushered in a mild winter, Red Mountain faired quite well compared to many other B.C. ski resorts like those in Kimberley and Fernie, which were forced to reduce operations due to lack of snow.

Weather will dictate resort’s schedule FROM PAGE 1 Destination visitors from Europe and the States continued to land in Rossland over the weekend for a ski vacation, says Thompson, as well as local families skiing for the day.

“We’ve been very steady,” said Thompson.

“The lodging company has done well with high occupancy rates, and throughout town. Relative to a lot of other resorts, we’ve done very well.”

While the regional weather office “The thing to remains at odds if watch is going more snow is on the to be toward the way, Thompson said the resort is hoping end of this week to push its annual and into the year-end bash past weekend, a big the previously slated system gathering March 22nd date.

“We are finalizing steam off shore.” the dates now,” he Jesse Ellis said. “If we are able to keep the mountain open we might push it back another week.”

There could be one casualty due to early snow melt, and that’s the annual Slush Cup run. The end of season activity is currently scheduled for March 28, however Thompson is uncertain if there will be enough snow to carry the event.

The jury is still out if more snow or rain is on the way, according to Jesse Ellis from the Castlegar weather office.

“A couple of weak systems coming our way, which won’t be snow producers for the higher elevations,” he explained.

“The thing to watch is going to be toward the end of this week and into the weekend, a big system gathering steam off shore.”

He said snow or rain at the higher elevations is dependent on how quickly the system moves into the region.

“Truth at the moment, is it could still go either way. The latest models are split 50/50.”

Howard Katkov, president of Red Mountain Resort issued a letter to season pass holders on Monday, acknowledging the painful winter for holders, destination visitors and the community as a whole.

In response to a shortened season, the resort has slashed costs to purchase youth early bird, junior early bird and college student early bird passes.

BC’s River Forecast Centre has released its spring report, showing the West Kootenay snowpack at 83 per cent of the average.

In the East Kootenay it’s even lower, at 76 per cent.

Both regions experienced below normal precipitation and above normal temperatures during the month.

“Snow pack accumulation

trends from early in the season have persisted throughout February,” the report says.

“The extremely low snow packs ... are the result of both warmer temperatures and drier conditions through the winter. A high proportion of precipitation has been delivered as rain rather than snow.”

The low snowpack in the West Kootenay could mean a lower than normal flood risk and an

catching it.

“It can be spread in a few different ways depending on which bug it is, like coughing or sneezing or hand-to-hand contact,” he said, adding that slowing the spread of the disease is simple.

“The best way to prevent it, other than having all of your childhood immunizations up-to-date, is just good hand-washing. It is pretty easy.

“We tend to get our meningitis in the winter months just because of all the respiratory virus germs that are

circulating and sometimes that increases your chances of getting a bacterial meningitis.”

Currently, a meningitis vaccine is considered a standard booster shot for young children, but Dr. Parker says there are still parents who don’t go that route.

“There are a few immunizations that protect against meningitis, like pneumococcal meningitis, that has been available to all kids for about a decade now, and the meningococcal vaccine that prevents that kind of menin-

BC’s low snowpack is at its most extreme in southwestern BC, which is recording historic lows. In the south coast region the level is 21 per cent of the average, and in the Lower Fraser Valley, 28 per cent.

gitis,” he said.

“Vaccine rates in children have been a concern in the Kootenay Boundary for a number of years.

“It tends to be a lower rate here, but still, the majority of parents do get their kids vaccinated and immunized, but we have seen outbreaks of things like pertussis (whooping cough).”

Anyone with questions about meningitis, vaccinations or infections in schools can call the Provincial Nurse Line at 811 or the Trail Health Unit at 250-364-6219.

The Centre does not hold out much hope for more snow to fall as the long range forecast indicates weather conditions will remain warmer than normal through May.

Transit vote ‘case study’ in transportation funding crisis THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - Ballots for an unprecedented plebiscite begin arriving in mailboxes last weekasking Vancouver-area residents whether they’re willing to foot the bill for a massive public transportation overhaul.

The vote gives citizens the option of paying a 0.5 per cent sales tax in exchange for a vastly upgraded rapid transit system, hundreds more buses, additional ferries and a new bridge - a mammoth package projected to cost $7.5 billion over a decade.

Experts say the transportation problems faced by the region’s mayors are emblematic of a dilemma for many big Canadian cities: crumbling infrastructure threatening to buckle under growing populations and no money to fix it.

“It’s a huge problem everywhere,”

said Prof. Patrick Condon, chair of the urban design program at the University of British Columbia.

“At the same time, the costs of maintaining the infrastructure are increasing proportionately, the taxpayers’ ability and their willingness to pay for that increase is decreasing. The current plebiscite is very good case study of that problem.”

The Vancouver area faces the same conundrum as Toronto and Calgary, which are both plugging away at expensive transit improvements, and several U.S. cities such such as Portland, Seattle and L.A. On its face, the Vancouver plebiscite appears to be a stop-or-go decision between tax and transit.

But proponents - ranging from mayors to big business to police chiefs - argue the vote is actually a pivotal choice.

larly to brainstorm about tackling their funding issues, and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robinson specifically raised the transportation concern at their meeting in Toronto last month. Mayors have also rallied to coax more funding from the provincial and federal governments, where the standard formula has traditionally divided the cost into thirds.

B.C. municipalities have nonetheless offered several solutions to the transit crisis since the early 2000s, but the province repeatedly rejected proposals from vehicle levies to parking taxes, to carbon taxes.

The current plebiscite is considered a last-ditch effort. Rather than using the only formal fundraising tool at the mayors’ disposal - the politically unsavoury option of hiking property taxes - they asked the premier to green-light a new sales tax.

them to transform deteriorating infrastructure into their vision for economic and environmental prosperity; a No vote would mean an unsustainable crush of cars on roads.

The transit champions say upgrades are crucial for accommodating an estimated influx of one million more residents into the Vancouver region over the next 30 years. Opponents have vilified TransLink, the agency that operates the region’s transit system, as wasteful.

Funding infrastructure projects in Canada, and elsewhere in North America, is a perennial challenge that’s been most commonly answered by taxpayers, said Fiona Crofton, a sustainability professional and former University of British Columbia professor.

The Okanagan Skaha School District is planning to let local MLAs that Premier Christy Clark is wrong about there being any “low-hanging fruit” left in their budget.

On March 9, the board of trustees approved sending a letter to Penticton MLA Dan Ashton and Boundary Similkameen MLA Linda Larson along with the ministers of finance and education, laying out the measures already taken in previous years to cut the local education budget.

The provincial budget included funding to cover collective agreements negotiated with teachers last year, but also directed the 60 school districts in B.C. to slash $29 million this year and $25

million next year from their budgets for administration and related services.

“It’s low-hanging fruit and I know that they’ll be able to find it,” Premier Christy Clark told reporters at a post-budget press conference.

The B.C. School Trustees Association requested each school district meet with their local MLAs to put pressure on the province to increase funding for schools. Chair Linda Van Alphen noted that the board met with the MLAs prior to the BCSTA request and sent much the same message.

“One thing we say often and loudly is that we want fair and predictable funding for the education system,” said Van Alphen.

The board decided that a letter showing work already done would be more effective,

since they were unlikely to be able to arrange a meeting in the near future.

“We have done all kinds of things to create efficiencies in our district,” said trustee Janet Planiden. “To me, we need to get that down and then present that to our MLA, so they are not talking about that you haven’t picked all the, quote, ‘low-hanging fruit.’”

Superintendent Wendy Hyer described it as the province giving on one hand, but taking away on the other.

“We have made cuts every year I was here,” said Hyer.

“Over the last years we have eliminated administrative positions, we’ve reduced clerical hours, we’ve reduced custodial hours.

“To suggest that we haven’t cut the low-hanging fruit is an insult.”

Labour calls 20-cent raise ‘pathetic’ Nanaimo Bulletin A 20-cents-perhour raise in minimum wage won’t lift B.C.’s poorest workers out of poverty, says the B.C. Federation of Labour.

The organization’s president Irene Lanzinger was in Nanaimo on Sunday for a Fight for $15 rally organized by the Nanaimo, Duncan and District Labour Council.

The gathering came three days after the provincial government announced that B.C.’s minimum wage is going up by 20 cents in September, and will see annual increases to match the B.C. consumer price index each September after that.

It’s the first increase since 2012, when the current wage of $10.25 was set.

Lanzinger said labour is “very disappointed” by the the minimum wage announcement.

“It was a pathetic response to hundreds of thousands of people who work full-time and live in poverty,” she said.

She said an increase to minimum wage would have a positive effect on B.C.’s economy.

“They actually spend all of that money into the economy, because they’re not opening a Swiss bank account, they’re not going on a European vacation,” she said.

Labour will continue to petition the B.C. government, Lanzinger said.

“It’s the right thing to look after the most vulnerable citizens in our society and the working poor are among the most vulnerable.”

national Year-long ISIL campaign possible THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The federal cabinet is poised to decide on extending the combat mission against the Islamic State and if it’s approved, several defence sources say it would involve a commitment of more than six months, possibly up to a year.

Defence Minister Jason Kenney isn’t saying which way the debate is going, but says a verdict will come soon and that the government is considering various options.

He says it’s a question of what meaningful contribution Canada can make to degrading the capability of extremists to wage their bloody campaign. But Kenney and other senior Conservatives have been dropping broad hints for weeks that the threat posed by extremists in Iraq and Syria is not something that should be left unchecked by Canada.

One source says the question of duration for an extended commitment is simply a political calculation.

Alberta

Investigators review why girders buckled on Edmonton bridge THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - It’s become Edmonton’s bridge of sighs.

A $32-million project to replace a key bridge in the Alberta capital could be delayed up to one year after four 40-tonne steel girders mysteriously buckled.

The safety hazard posed by the twisted metal means a major commuter route underneath the 102 Avenue Bridge must remain closed until further notice, perhaps for a few weeks, in addition to part of the avenue which has been shut down since July.

“Under the city’s oversight, several engineering teams are investigating the situation to determine exactly what went wrong here,” Barry Belcourt, manager of Edmonton’s road design and construction branch, said Monday.

“Right now nothing is going to fall down because it is all bolted in place and cranes are still holding pieces in place.”

Belcourt said investigators are reviewing the bridge design, materials used, the construction process and environmental conditions for clues.

Crews started installing the girders Friday night, bolting them in place after they

were put in position with cranes, but work was temporarily suspended Saturday night due to what Belcourt called extreme winds.

Crews were working on the girders Monday morning when some of them buckled without warning, he said.

“All of a sudden four of them bent simultaneously.”

How long it will take to get the project back on track will depend the review.

Canada should have handled Afghan aid program differently, audit concludes THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Canada walked away from a decade-long $2.2 billion aid program in Afghanistan hoping the U.S. would just carry on with its plan, an internal government audit has found.

Instead, Canada’s vision was left in the dust, officials told auditors looking into the largest aid program in government history, one of the three pillars of the effort to stabilize the war-torn country after the fall of the Taliban in 2001.

The massive aid program was supposed to bolster the military’s work in securing the country and diplomatic efforts to shore up its governance, a whole-of-government approach that in some ways should serve as a model for approaching similar conflicts in the future, the evaluation found.

The Conservative government appears to be considering such a model in its approach to the conflict in Iraq as it prepares to debate the extension of the military mission there.

But there were major flaws in the Afghan aid program’s conception and its delivery, the evaluation concluded, includ-

ing a failure to ever completely understand what was driving the conflict in Afghanistan and in turn be able to really help solve it.

“Canada is recognized as a consistent and reliable donor with a clear results orientation, but there is insufficient evidence to provide a definitive answer to the overall evaluation question related to Canada’s contribution to longterm stability and sustainable development in Afghanistan,” the report said.

The ongoing and eventually worsening violence in Afghanistan has been largely blamed for keeping development programs from doing what they were ostensibly designed to do help secure the peace won by the military.

“In Afghanistan, saving lives and alleviating suffering has been a short-term activity that was threatened by ongoing political and military violence,” the report said.

When that peace was declared elusive

and the military decided to leave Kandahar in 2011, aid officials were left to create exit strategies of their own - keeping a large-scale development program going was never an option, evaluators were told.

A decision was made to hand everything over to the U.S., and the Americans then started pursuing their own, differing, priorities, the report found.

“The frequent change of American staff on the ground meant that there was little institutional memory remaining to keep the strategic Canadian legacy alive,” the evaluation concluded.

“Many interviewees indicated that this exit strategy may have been short-sighted and that, given the enormous Canadian investments made in Kandahar, other alternatives should have been explored as was done by other bilateral donors.”

What results the massive program managed to achieved were

“impressive” and came mostly through projects in which Canada was one of many donors, the evaluation found.

They included the training of thousands of health workers, food aid, teacher training, loans and enhanced capacity of rights and women’s organizations.

Canada’s three signature projects, the rehabilitation of the irrigation system flowing from the Dahla Dam, the construction of 50 schools and polio vaccination had mixed results.

More than 50 schools were actually built but it’s unclear how many are open and how many students are enrolled, while polio cases from Pakistan continue to infiltrate Afghanistan.

The irrigation system repair achieved most of its objectives, but with no new money earmarked to continue the work, it is all at risk, the report found.

The emphasis on short-term implementation strategies may have seen projects

completed faster, but came at the expense of ensuring sustainable long-term development results, the report said.

“However, a few years after the Canadian exit from Kandahar, there is limited evidence of positive outcomes in terms of more jobs, enhanced income opportunities or better quality of services outside of the health and education sectors,” the report said.

While the politics of the Afghan mission may be a thing of the past for Canadian parliamentarians, they reared their head for the evaluation team, who reported feeling some pressure to emphasize the positive results of the aid program in their report.

In the end, they drew nine conclusions from their study and provided five recommendations. In its response to the report, the government acknowledged the program’s shortcomings and agreed with many of the evaluation’s conclusions.

Auditor leak has B.C. Liberals bailing

M

arch has been a good month for the B.C. NDP, and it’s been a while since I’ve been able to say that.

Opposition critics fired a shot amidships at the B.C. Liberal government when they began questioning the lack of progress by the new Auditor General for Local Government.

This experimental vessel was launched in Premier Christy Clark’s leadership campaign, and two years after it set sail, it is listing, taking on water and in danger of sinking.

The original idea was to expand the B.C. Auditor General’s office so it could check the financial performance of local governments too.

Business groups were concerned about municipal taxes going up too quickly, with staff growing even as the province grappled with a hiring freeze.

Mayors and councillors began to talk of mutiny

over that plan, protesting that their budgets are already required to balance and are subject to annual audits.

But this will be “performance auditing,” Clark insisted, not just making sure the figures add up.

It will determine the public is receiving “value for money” on projects like arenas and services like police, by comparing different communities’ results. A new AGLG office opened in Surrey.

The “value for money” promise is on the rocks.

The government appointed a quasi-independent board (hello, BC Ferries and TransLink) that hired chartered accountant Basia Ruta, a veteran of the federal Auditor General office who had also served as chief financial officer at Environment Canada and had done local government audits in private practice.

NDP local government critic Selina Robinson started asking why this

office has spent $5.2 million and produced only one audit out of a promised 18.

Community Minister Coralee Oakes, a former Quesnel councillor in her first cabinet post, allowed that there had been some rough water but there is smooth sailing ahead.

Then came a big leak, in the form of a “work environment review” of the good ship AGLG that was given to the NDP by a seasick crew member.

It described chaos below decks, with “shift-

ing priorities and unclear direction,” as well as “wasted time and work” and “inefficient use of consultant and staff resources.”

Worse, the review noted a human resources monitor had been stationed at the office for most of January to maintain a “respectful workplace for all employees.”

“A peacekeeper,” as NDP leader John Horgan described the grim scene.

“This is like we’re in Cyprus.”

Then it was confirmed that when the AGLG board tried to conduct a performance review, Ruta’s response was to hire a lawyer. Ruta seems to be decisive when protecting her job, if not when hiring, running the office or meeting her own work targets.

Whatever goodwill had been restored with local governments over this experiment is likely gone. Municipal staffers have been dealing with

new auditor demands as their councils grind away at their own budgets, and now they see signs that what they have contributed may well have been swept overboard.

Oakes remains on deck, eyes fixed on the horizon. An audit of capital procurement in Rossland is finally scheduled to be done by the end of March, she said. Similar reports on Delta and Sechelt are due in April.

The latest revision of that schedule is underway, no doubt in another series of long, acrimonious meetings.

Clark addressed the situation in her last question period before the legislature’s spring break this week.

She didn’t have a lot to say about the AGLG’s voyage of the damned, mostly familiar rhetoric about “lower taxes, less red tape” and so on.

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

‘Cinderella’ the belle of the weekend box office THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - “Cinderella” is the belle of the box office, where Disney’s live-action fairy tale debuted with $70.1 million over the weekend at North American theatres, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The box office-topping opening added to a string of recent live-action successes for Disney like “Maleficent” and “Alice in Wonderland.”

Interest in “Cinderella,” directed by Kenneth Branagh, was also boosted by a “Frozen” short that played before the feature.

The Liam Neeson-Ed Harris thriller “Run All Night” didn’t have much gas at the box office. It opened with $11 million for Warner Bros.

Samberg to host Emmys THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - Andy Samberg is taking centre stage at the Emmy Awards.

Fox said Thursday that the star of the network’s sitcom “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” will host the September ceremony.

In a statement, Samberg says, “Buckle your seat belts, Emmy viewers!” and promises the audience a wild ride.

NBC late-night host Seth Meyers hosted the Emmys last year, when the ceremony aired on his home network.

$27,493 worth of allegedly fraudulent expense claims the suspended Conservative senator from Saskatchewan made for travel related to her former role as a director on the boards of Porter Airlines Inc. and Gluskin Sheff + Associates Inc.,” the Star reported.

Wallin has not been charged with anything, and none of the allegations have been proven in court.

Here’s the biggest eyebrowraiser, however.

The documents suggest Wallin may have relied on acquaintances to cover for her on more than one occasion.

One of them was Barrick Gold founder Peter Munk.

A big problem with Wallin’s case is that police are dealing with multiple versions of her day calendar.

According to one calendar, for example, a trip to Toronto in 2010 included a visit with Gerald Sheff of Gluskin Sheff.

Meanwhile, her electronic calendar says she received an echocardiogram at the

TRA

TRAIL T

Peter Munk Cardiac Centre at Toronto General Hospital. A third, printed calendar listed a Senate-related meeting with Munk himself.

But Munk told police he wasn’t there. He was in Switzerland.

That’s not 100 miles away.

That’s 3,900 miles away.

“I believe that Wallin misrepresented this medical appointment to (external auditor) Deloitte by representing it as an appointment with Mr. Peter Munk himself,” wrote RCMP Cpl. Rudy Exantus, as quoted in the Star.

Indeed, it’s hard to imagine that such muddy record keeping was simply a mistake, although that’s how Wallin’s lawyer has characterized the $154,191 plus interest Wallin has already repaid for “erroneous” claims.

Poor bookkeeping is one thing. But when other people don’t vouch for your whereabouts, you can bet police are going to pay extra special attention to you.

Where in the world is Wallin?

An editorial from the St. John’s Telegram When police investigate you for a crime, one of the first things they do is determine whether you have an alibi.

If you were 100 miles away, and can prove it, you should be in the clear.

But if your alibi doesn’t check out, authorities are going to wonder why. Why did you lie? What purpose did it serve?

That is exactly the kind of scrutiny Pamela Wallin is facing right now.

The Toronto Star reported that the RCMP is looking into 150 “suspicious” Senate travel claims filed by Wallin over three years. They include several trips to Toronto for boardrelated business — which is not considered Senate business.

Documents released by the court reveal details used by police to obtain further information through warrants.

labour force is much more of a problem for Europe and Japan than North America, which has a younger population that’s not projected to contract in the future due to high immigration.

The possibilities for innovative technological change remain encouraging for growth, although this variable is the most difficult to project.

In Canada, growth since the recession has not been unusually weak compared with the previous two decades.

Last year’s real GDP growth of 2.5 per cent exceeded its 25 year average, which was reflected in the adult unemployment rate already reaching the historically low level of 5.5 per cent.

Canada is particularly wellpositioned to take advantage of an upturn in the U.S. economy, since the lingering effect of the recession in our financial sector and labour markets was much less pronounced than in the U.S. This will help Canada overcome the recent slump in commodity prices.

A further boost to growth would come from a better policy framework, especially in central Canada where provincial government debt continues to increase. More policy stimulus, like the Bank of Canada’s surprise interest rate cut in January, is not needed in North America at this time. Growth would be better served by more predictable policies.

Tuesday, March 17, 2015 Trail Times

Douglas George Graham was born in Woodstock, Ontario on January 27, 1950 and sadly passed away on Saturday March 7, 2015 after losing his battle with cancer. Although most of his childhood years were growing up in Ontario (mainly Uxbidge) he chose to settle in Trail, BC where he was always telling his family how beautiful it was and how much he loved living here.

Doug had a love of music and literature and always had time for a good debate. Doug was also a humanitarian, sponsoring children in third world countries. In his spare time he loved woodworking and became an accomplished carpenter.

Doug is survived by his mother Olive Graham, sisters, Laura (John), Olive Violet (Don) & Brenda (Steve) as well as many nieces and nephews; Alan, Kenny (Bonnie), Tracy (Jamie), Jade (Jamie), Kyle (Licia) and Kristy (Justin) as well as 28 great nieces and nephews.

Doug will be missed deeply by all his friends, especially his friends in Trail who became his second family. A Celebration of his Life will commence at 11:00am on Thursday, March 19th from Carberry’s Chapel at 1298 Pine Avenue, Trail. Gwen Ziprick of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services has been entrusted with the arrangements.

Rest in Peace

surgery and intensive hospital care have been the centre of life for a Castlegar family and their little girl.

Shaylynn was born Feb. 22 in Vancouver with several heart defects.

When her mother, Madaline Huss, had her 20-week ultrasound, doctors knew something wasn’t quite right. Grandmother Ruby Perepolkin said they knew it was her heart and since Jan. 12, the family has been staying in Vancouver for specialized treatments.

“I’ve been staying with [Madaline] but I have to go back to work. I can’t stay here forever.”

Perepolkin said people have been approaching her, asking how they can help.

Now they have a secure way to help out, via a newly created account at Kootenay Savings.

“It’s been hard, with Madaline having to stay down [in Vancouver] without her husband.

He’s in Castlegar looking for work right now,” Perepolkin said.

“It’s pretty hard being in two places at once.

He came down for the baby’s birth and then had to go back for a job interview.”

Any money donated to the family will go towards living and medical expenses.

Baby Shaylynn’s condition is rare, and it’s coupled with several complications.

Shaylynn’s nurse wrote a short letter to describe her condition and what she’s been through.

“Approximately one in 100 babies are

Shaylynn will require at least two more heart surgeries in her lifetime. born with some form of congenital heart defect, ranging in severity from conditions requiring medical assessment without the need for intervention to more severe forms requiring multiple open heart surgeries or heart transplantation.

“Shaylynn was born with a heart defect that is both severe and unusual and required her to undergo open heart surgery at just three days of age. The hope is that this surgery will enable her to grow and develop until her next heart surgery, which is expected to occur within the first few months of life.

“She will require at least one additional surgery before she starts kindergarten.

Shaylynn will need

close medical follow up from the BC Children’s cardiology team throughout her childhood.”

The open heart surgery addressed the baby’s hypoplastic right heart syndrome, a condition in which the right atrium and right ventricle are underdeveloped.

Perepolkin said Shaylynn is doing well and despite needing to spend more time in the hospital, is expected to recover.

The family is grateful to all those who have worked hard to assist their new addition.

A Facebook page has been setup to document Shaylynn and the family’s journey as well as gather support for this little girl: facebook.com/ iheartbabyshay.

Betty White to receive lifetime award

Midget Rockets firing on all cylinders

BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

The Kelowna Midget Tier 2 Rockets are on a roll at the B.C. Midget Tier 2 Hockey Championship at the Cominco Arena going undefeated in its first two matches.

The Kelowna Midget Rockets beat Trail 5-2, Sunday, before rolling over the Saanich Braves 7-2 Monday to sit atop pool B, while in the A-pool, Smithers remained unbeaten after a 10-5 win over Castlegar and a 4-0 shutout of Cranbrook on Monday.

Kelowna’s Bronson Dawson scored three times while Zak Keeler netted two goals as the Rockets

erupted for five goals in the second period to take a 5-2 lead, on their way to the 7-2 victory over a strong Saanich team. The Braves led 1-0 on the only goal of the first period by Calum Brassard at 11:26, but penalty trouble and a vaunted Rockets attacked burned the Braves in the second.

James Fisher tied it on a power play at 18:26 and a goal by Keeler and two from Dawson would give Kelowna a 4-1 lead before the Braves’ Ben Dawson would cut the lead to two at 6:16.

Keeler would add another before the period was out, and Ryan Moon would make it 6-2 at 16:24, and set up Bronson Dawson for his hat trick and Moon’s third assist of the night at 4:14 to round out the scoring. The Rockets look poised for a run at the provincal championship after losing 2-1 in the final to Vancouver in last year’s championship.

Meanwhile, Smithers scored twice in the final 2:20 to seal a 4-0 victory in a tight match up with Cranbrook Monday afternoon. Jarrett Denny scored the winning goal just 63 seconds into the first period. The score would stay that way until Rylan Smaha-Muir netted one on the power play at 13:19 of the third, and Darcy Delaney and Fraser Todd would secure the win in the late going.

On Sunday morning, Trail played the Rockets close for two periods, down 3-2 heading into the third, but two unanswered goals by Landon Markosky and Keeler would seal it for Kelowna.

Brendan Mackay and Mitch Titus scored for Trail with Chris Colquhoun netting two assists in the loss.

“We knew coming in that was going to be a really tough game, especially we have a little bit of history with them this year,” said Trail coach Brian Youngson. “I thought for the most part we battled hard, we haven’t played in a few weeks, I think that affected us a little bit just in terms of our sharpness, but I thought our guys battled pretty hard, I mean that’s a good hockey team,” See TRAIL, Page 12

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks had to score twice in double overtime to earn a victory over the Kimberley Dynamiters Sunday night in Game 4 of the Kootenay Conference final.

With the score knotted 3-3 and approximately 13 minutes remaining in double-overtime, the Beaver Valley Nitehawks thought they had won the game after a long point shot sailed over the shoulder of a partiallyscreened Tyson Brouwer.

The Nitehawks bench erupted and began spilling onto the ice, but play carried on after the goal was washed away by the nearest official.

At the next stoppage, all four officials congregated at centre ice before upholding the call.

The only problem was the puck had crossed the line before ricocheting off the back bar and out of the net. The Nitehawks weren’t mistaken in their celebration, but that didn’t matter as overtime continued.

“Had we lost that game tonight, I wouldn’t feel very good,” said Nitehawks head coach and general manager Terry Jones. “But let’s just say that the right thing happened. We got the ‘W’ and now it’s a series. We feel good about what we’ve done in the four games and finally got the result we were looking for.”

After the apparent non-goal, the two teams exchanged opportunities before Mitch Foyle snapped a power-play goal past Brouwer to give his team the 4-3 double-overtime victory and extend the series to a fifth game back in Fruitvale Tuesday night.

“Great to see Mitch Foyle get that goal,” Jones said. “Man, oh, man did he work his butt off tonight.

“We’re alive. We’re absolutely alive. It’s a huge win. To fight through the adversity of the series - we’ve fought through so many little battles. Losing Andy Miller [to injury] and Jake Boyczuk to suspension. Losing [Ross] Armour [Saturday] night for most of the game. We scored two in overtime [Sunday] - you name it - we’ve really battled.

New life didn’t come easy for the Nitehawks as the Dynamiters were intent on ending the bestof-seven series with a four-game sweep on home ice.

“I thought overall it was a great effort,” said Kimberley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks. “We battled hard, didn’t get a lot of breaks, but I like our resiliency. We get down, we battle back.

“That’s a good team. To beat them four straight, as close as everything has been, is probably expecting a little too much.”

The Nitehawks jumped out to an early 1-0 lead as Spencer McLean opened the scoring 1:28 into the first period. Only 1:17 later, Braden Saretsky continued his torrid scoring pace by sliding one past Nitehawks goaltender Carson Schamerhorn to tie the game 1-1.

Sam Swanson restored the Nitehawks lead at the midpoint of the first.

With time winding down in the second period, Dynamiters defenceman Justin Meier sent a long, seeing-eye point shot towards the Nitehawks net and it somehow found a way through a mass of humanity to tie the game 2-2.

Foyle put his team ahead 1:12 into the third period, but once again the Dynamiters found a way to claw their way back into the game as Keenan Haase banged home a rebound to tie the game 3-3 and force extra time.

Brouwer stood tall between the pipes once again, turning aside 38 of 42 shots in only his second loss of the post-season.

At the other end, Schamerhorn returned to the crease for Game 4 after giving way to Drake Poirier for Game 3. The 17-yearold Kelowna native did what he needed to in stopping 34 of 37 shots for the win.

The Nitehawks and Dynamiters will use Monday as their final day of rest in the series before getting back at it Tuesday.

“If you had told me at the start of the series that we’d be up 3-1 after four [games], I’d have taken it in a heartbeat,” Bancks said.

“Just get ready to go. Don’t get too high, don’t get too low.”

Game 6 is scheduled for 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Kimberley Civic Centre, and will return to the Beaver Valley Arena for Game 7 in Fruitvale on Thursday night.

In the Okanagan-Shuswap final, Kamloops leads the series over Osoyoos 3-1, after a 3-1 victory over the Coyotes on Sunday.

back of goalie Haydon Lyons for a 6-4 lead just 47 seconds into the third.

The two teams took advantage of defensive lapses as the game remained close through two periods, with Trail leading 3-2 after the first and 5-4 at the end of the second frame.

“It wasn’t the prettiest (win),” said Youngson. “I thought we were a little better as the game wore on, so hopefully that bodes well for us Monday night.”

Lavorato (2G) Jayden Crandell, Mitch Titus (1G, 2A), Braden and Nathan McKay, and Devin Ghiradosi, (2G), scored for Trail, while, William Paynton (2G), Coring Loring (2G), and Dylan Sellars replied for Williams Lake.

Trail played Saanich Monday night but the score was unavailable at press time.

With the early loss to Kelowna, each game is a must win for the Smoke Eaters as the top two teams from each pool advance to

Wednesday’s playoff.

“We need to keep getting better,” said Youngson. “I think we need to tighten up a little bit defensively, we’ve given away lots of opportunities, in both games. We need to stop giving stuff away for free, and start capitalizing a little more.”

In other matches, New Westminster dumped Cranbrook 7-4 on the strength of two goals and an assist from Taylor Seganfreddo.

Smithers doubled up Castlegar 10-5 on Sunday. The Jr. Rebels took a 2-1 lead into the second, and trailed 5-4 after two, but Smithers broke it open in the third, scoring five times with Mitchell Turko and Aaron Steenhof tallying two goals and an assist for Smithers, while Ren Mason netted a hat trick and added two helpers for Castlegar.

North Delta lost its first game to Saanich 6-3 and will face Trail tonight at 8 p.m. in the final game of the round robin.

SATURDAY EVENING

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Let it go (on)! The Walt Disney Co. has announced plans to make a sequel to the animated mega-hit “Frozen.”

Since its release in November 2013, “Frozen” has become a juggernaut for Disney. It made nearly $1.3 billion at the global box office and generated a massive merchandising revenue stream. The film also won the Oscar for best animated feature. Because of that enormous success, a sequel has been widely expected.

‘Downton Abbey’

Reality meets fiction THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON - “Downton Abbey” welcomed a royal visitor last week - and the TV show’s creator told the Duchess of Cambridge she’s partly responsible for its global success.

Kate visited the set of the award-winning costume drama at London’s Ealing Studios, meeting cast members.

The show’s writer, Julian Fellowes, told Kate that “your Royal Highness has played a significant part in the ‘Downton’ story already.”

Fellowes described how a 2011 visit to the U.S. by Kate and her husband, Prince William, came as producers tried to raise the profile of the show. Fellowes said when the duchess mentioned she was a fan “this went into the media like an Exocet missile.flyers.

Don’t tell controlling husband about leaving Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

please don’t tell your husband you are leaving. He will use whatever means necessary to stop you. Would your friend offer to pick you up? Is there a bus or train you can afford?

Please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800799-SAFE and ask them to help you find a safe way out.

Dear Annie: A year ago, I fell ill with diabetes. Due to financial problems, I have had lots of complications in treating it. I also have a troubled past, but I turned it around a few years ago, and I’m proud of myself.

I was so ill that I had

Assistance (pparx.org) for low-cost medications. And you may be eligible for low-cost hospitalization and clinic care through the Health Resources and Services Administration (hrsa.gov/gethealthcare/ affordable/hillburton).

Dear Annie: I am responding to “Growing Up Way Too Fast,” whose young son likes to play with the neighbor boy who plays adult video games and is allowed to watch frightening, sexually suggestive adult TV shows.

Our three kids sometimes had friends from homes with questionable parenting skills. Our kids were allowed to play only at our house with those friends. The first time they acted inappropriately, I explained that their behavior was rude and unkind and not permitted in our house, and the consequence was that they would be sent home. The second time, they were sent home.

That usually solved the problem. But if it hap-

pened again, they were sent home and not allowed to return for several days. Of course, I phoned the parents to let them know their child would be coming home, but unless the parent asked, I gave no reason.

Our kids didn’t like

this rule, but that is where parenting comes in. Watchful supervision was always on high alert when these kids came over. -- Mean Mother Award Winner Dear Mother: Congratulations on understanding what it takes to be an effective

parent and not letting an unpopular rule deter you.

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.

Dear Annie: For four years, I have been trying to leave an abusive marriage. I’ve been working with various agencies that are budget strapped and overwhelmed with clients. I finally found a friend who offered to let me stay with her, but she lives four hours away, and I cannot afford a rental car. Then my husband tells his boss that he needs time off because I have a disability. That part is true, but I know now that he is using it as an excuse to be home and control the situation.

Worse, my husband brought home a dog, knowing I would never leave the poor thing with him. Taking the dog makes things more difficult.

Our local abuse shelter is crowded right now.

In a perfect world, I would grab what I could and leave, taking the dog. I tried once, and he caught up with me. Any suggestions? -- Gloria Dear Gloria: You need a better plan. First,

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Wednesday, March 18, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Listen to your vibes today because you are a highly intuitive person. (Some of you can pick up acid rock through your Mercury fillings. Kidding.) Trust your hunches.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) If you belong to a group of like-minded people, they will listen to your ideas today, because you are imaginative, intuitive and perhaps prophetic. Share what you know with others.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Someone in a position of authority might misunderstand you today. This person doesn’t quite grasp where you’re coming from.

Be careful what you say to bosses, parents and VIPs. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened

today, visit beautiful places.

See museums, art galleries, parks and architectural buildings. Explore beautiful ideas in other cultures.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a poor day to make important decisions about shared property, taxes and debt. You might be wishywashy or confused about things; or possibly, someone actually has deceived you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) It will be hard to nail down anything concrete in discussions with others today, because wishful thinking will obscure logic.

Wishful thinking is a wonderful thing, but you cannot always “make it so.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Double-check information from co-workers and superiors at work today to avoid confusion. People might be misinformed, or they might purposely deceive you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) It’s easy to be in touch with your muse today, which is why this is a creative day for any kind of artistic activity.

When it comes to romance, because your head is in the clouds, keep your feet on the ground.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might be disappointed with a family member today. But remember this:

Unexpressed expectations almost always lead to disappointment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might spend a lot of time daydreaming or woolgathering today because it’s hard to stay focused on one subject. That’s OK. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a poor day to make important decisions about finances, cash flow and

major purchases. Basically, you have Vaseline on your lens and cannot see clearly.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It’s easy to idealize someone or something today, which means you are dealing in a realm of wishes instead of factual possibilities. Be clear about what you want when talking to others today.

Nelson

Protesters rally against Bill C-51

By Tamara Hynd Nelson Star

Dozens of people gathered by Nelson’s court house Saturday afternoon to protest Bill C-51, which critics are calling the federal government’s new “secret police” law.

Nelson’s Nigel Methuen, 20, organized the local protest when he learned of the bill, which is known as the Antiterrorism Act, 2015.

“The bill is quite disturbing and has the potential to be used against activists,” said Methuen. “I believe this will be used against indigenous people protecting their land from pipelines, which they have the right to do.”

Bill C-51 is proposed legislation to amend over a dozen Canadian laws, including the Criminal Code, to permit Canadian government agencies to share information about individuals with ease, and broadens the mandate of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. It is the first comprehensive reform of this kind since 2001 and was introduced by the Conservative party.

The protest in Nelson is part of a national day of action, with more than 55 cities across Canada hosting events.

While concerns with Bill C-51 are diverse, supporting organizations believe that the bill is reckless, dangerous and ineffective.

“We’re seeing a growing upswell of everyday Canadians who are standing up to defend the freedoms necessary for a democratic society,” said Jamie Biggar, campaigns director at Leadnow.ca, Canada’s largest pro-democracy advocacy organization.

The coalition is being coordinated and supported by Leadnow.ca, the BCGEU and OpenMedia.ca, with local leaders from across the country. Amnesty International has recently voiced its concern as well.

For more information: action.stopc51.ca.
