Wages a big factor in early childhood educator shortage

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

The government's sixfigure incentive to bring more childcare workers to the table is a start, says a local 30-year childcare veteran.

But $1 million in bursaries for early childhood educator (ECE) training does not address the reason there's too few qualified ECEs across the province.

“It's because people are not really going into early childhood education because of the wages,” says Lynn Proulx, from East Trail's Sunshine Children's Centre. “There's such a shortage not just here in Trail, but everywhere.

Wages are a big deal because that is what attracts people to come into the field - but a young person can go into almost anything else for a better wage.”

According to PayScale. com, an online resource for individual salary profiles, the average pay for an ECE in Canada is $14.82 per hour. Most people in the job move onto other positions after 20 years in the field, and pay does not change much based on experience, cites the website.

Service Canada reflects that data under its job description for ECEs and assistants, noting jobs in the occupation can be paid at minimum wage rates.

Ninety-six per cent of those jobs are filled by women ages 25-44, and are full time in a child daycareservice with a typical annual salary ranging from $20,000 to $30,000.

“I've been in the field coming up 33 years,” said Proulx. “And the wage has basically stayed the same, and not gone along with the

living wage. It's a really difficult situation.”

Proulx's view is supported by a recent gender-based study of Lower Columbia communities that found one third of the local female labour force works in a low wage occupation, meaning annual earning of less than $24,000 a year.

That number doesn't near the area's living wage standard, which is $18.15 per hour for a 35-hour work week in a two-parent-twochild family, according to the Women Creating Change study.

Regardless of the low wage, Proulx says there are people who have a passion for working with children, and she encourages those to follow their heart.

“That's why I stay here,” she continued. “There are children in our community who require good quality care and get a good strong start before they go to kindergarten. And if it is your passion, then you'll make your way around.”

Recognizing the province-wide need for qualified educators, on March 27 the Ministry of Children and Family Development announced a $1 million bursary fund for students enrolled in early childhood education programs.

The ECE Student Bursary program was established one year ago by the Early Childhood Educators of BC (professional association for early childhood practitioners) with a $513,000 provincial investment.

Double the funds is good news for Taya Whitehead's students enrolled in the Selkirk College Early Childhood Care & Education (ECCE) program.

The “on” switch has been flipped well ahead of schedule at the Waneta Dam expansion site.

After over four years under construction and over $900 million invested, the dam expansion wasn't expected to fully operational until midMay, but officials say because of proper planning and very few timelost events, the project is up and running.

“The eighth largest infrastructure project in British Columbia, the Waneta Expansion Project was completed six weeks ahead of schedule and on budget while maintaining an excellent safety and environmental record,” read a press release on Thursday. “With over 3 million person hours logged there were only two minor lost-time incidents and no major environmental incidents or concerns.”

Back in January, Columbia Power officials said construction to expand on the already-running Waneta Dam was running right on schedule with the add-on of a second power house down river. Crews then installed two Francis turbines that can produce 335 megawatts of power.

Now that the addition is complete, the site is providing power to around 60,000 homes through a See PROJECT, Page 3

Explosion at Teck mine sends three to hospital

By Sarah Kucharski Fernie Free Press

A Sunday morning explosion at Greenhills mine near Elkford sent three to hospital with burns.

According to David Haslam, Communications Coordinator with the Ministry of Energy and Mines, the explosion happened in the coal drying operation of the mine.

The employees were not believed to be inside at the time, but were located outside of the room at the time of the blast.

Haslam described the incident as a “flash fire.”

Spokesperson for B.C. Ambulance Libby Brown said the three injured, two men and one woman, were initially being treated for secondand third-degree burns.

One of the injured was sent to Fernie Hospital for treatment and at least one of the others has been transferred to Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary.

Haslam said that Chief Inspector of Mines Al Hoffman is currently investigating the incident.

“He and two other mine inspectors are on route to the mine site,” said Haslam. “We will provide more information as it becomes available.”

Teck has made a statement that no major impact to the operation has been made due to the flash fire.

The cause of the explosion is not yet known.

Warmest March in 50 years

By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

Sunny skies during the first two weeks of March led to four new daily highs and the mildest March on record since local weather tracking began 50 years ago.

This year’s El Niño phenomenon ushered in unseasonably warm conditions and set record daily maximums of 17 C, 19 C, 20.1 C, and 17 C on March 8 through March 11 respectively, according to the Castlegar weather service’s month-end report.

Those temperatures upped March’s daily average temperature to 6.8 C, from the normal 4.4 C. The previous mildest March was 1992.

The warm and dry days had municipalities sweeping winter grit away earlier than usual, but forced Red Mountain Resort and other B.C. ski hills to reduce operations.

That’s because from Feb. 13 to March 13, only 0.2 millimetres (mm) of rain was recorded in the area. By the night of March 13, a pacific system hit the West Kootenay region and ended the drought with heavy precipitation.

Ten centimetres of wet snow and 20 mm of rain drenched the valleys by March 15, though snow largely melted on contact in the low lying areas. That led to overall precipitation being slightly higher, 83 mm, than the typical 63 mm.

The Waneta Dam Expansion project is finally complete after four-and-a-half years of construction. The extra power house up river from the existing dam will be using two Francis turbines to produce enough energy to power 60,000 homes. Crews finished the project six weeks earlier than planned.

Project was over four years in the making FROM PAGE 1 10-kilometre transmission line, ending up at BC Hydro’s Selkirk Power Station near Fruitvale. After that, power gets distributed throughout the existing grid.

But who is going to benefit financially from the completion of the project?

According to the press release, both BC Hydro and FortisBC have long-term contracts to purchase the power produced by the new turbines, but Fortis owns a bit more, allowing them to pro-

duce on-demand power.

Fortis also owns 51 per cent of the facility, with Columbia Power and the Columbia Basin Trust owning the other 49 per cent.

The local economy benefitted financially during the four-and-a-half-year project with 1,400 tradespeople hired to work onsite, 70 per cent of which were considered local – living within 100 km of the construction site.

From start to finish, Columbia Power Corporation says that over $300

million was “injected” into the economy through services, goods and wages, but now that most of the construction work is finished, the site will be nearly empty most of the time.

Audrey Repin, director of stakeholder and external relations with the Columbia Power Corporation, says there will be a skeleton, probably parttime, crew at the dam during regular operations, with the exception of emergencies, maintenance or special circumstances.

More child care spaces needed in province

FROM PAGE 1 “It is excellent the Ministry of Children and Family Development is recognizing the need for additional child care spaces in B.C.,” said Whitehead, an instructor in the ECCE program.

“Currently, there are only licenced spaces for approximately 20 per cent of B.C.’s children.”

Under its BC Early Years strategy, two years ago the province committed to creating 13,000 new child care spaces over eight years, she explained.

“This fills a significant gap for B.C. families,” Whitehead noted. “However, in order to create these spaces we need early childhood educators.”

Proulx offers well-seasoned advice to current ECE students, 14 whom are enrolled in Selkirk College’s Early Childhood Care & Education Program at the Castlegar campus.

“Be an advocate for the field,” she said. “Show how important you are in our community. The development of a child is the most important thing here, and most people don’t even know what we do.”

Job titles and exact duties vary in the occupation and range from early childhood educator, pre-school teacher, day-care worker and childcare worker.

Days at Sunshine Children’s Centre are struc-

tured, and require one worker for every child infant-tothree; and at minimum, one ECE for every eight four-and five-year olds.

After workers ensure each child isn’t hungry, agespecific play and “circles” with learning outcomes focused on art, science and math ensue. Healthy snack time is followed by activities that incorporate skills like memory and counting through music and dance, before a half hour of outside play encourages gross motor development.

we have them sit and socialize with the people around them. Many, many stories come out, because when they tell us so much, they are also learning language and speech vocabulary. And manners are really important for us.”

Setting aside $1 million to cover students taking an ECE program is wonderful, says Proulx, but the government should be looking towards a universal childcare system.

“Where everyone can afford child care with a focus on zero to six, because we know that’s when the brain develops and you will catch kids who may need more support. For us, the government really hasn’t recognized that yet.”

Skiing, salmon spawning may be casualties of glacial melt: report THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER Blue bird days on the ski slopes and expeditions to rivers frothing with spawning salmon could be among the quintessential British Columbia pastimes that vanish in the next century if the province’s glaciers maintain their melt.

Results of a 3D computer simulation reveal in more detail than ever before the magnitude of glacial thawing due to climate change. The study was published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience.

It confirms and goes one step further than previous projections on glacial melt, holding up a magnifying glass to specific

geography in Western Canada and spurs scientific theorizing about potential localized impacts.

Researchers anticipate that by 2100, disappearing glaciers may alter how much water is delivered to salmon-spawning beds in the B.C. Interior, and similarly dry up corporate visions of future ski resorts, said study coauthor Garry Clarke.

A near total loss of glacial ice is expected to be concentrated in the Rocky Mountains, said Clarke, professor emeritus with the University of British Columbia.

“People driving into Banff or Jasper parks will be hard pressed to see glaciers

in the landscape by the time this is played out,” he said.

Similar disappearance rates are expected in B.C.’s southeastern Columbia Mountains.

But the southern coast mountains may fare better than previously expected, mostly sparing the visually stunning Mount Garibaldi, north of Squamish, B.C. Ice caps in B.C.’s northwest, close to the Alaska and Yukon borders, should also survive.

Researchers spent nearly a decade coding and embedding influential factors into the simulation, amounting to highresolution representations of the glacial degradation in B.C.

and Alberta over the years, said Clarke.

While the entire region currently sustains 3,000 cubic kilometres of ice, that’s projected to degrade between 60 to 80 per cent using the simulation, which charts four possible courses based on standard future climate change scenarios.

The study projects the maximum rate of ice volume retreat to occur between 2020 and 2040.

Earlier forecasts using less sophisticated calculus predicted the glacial mass loss would be lower.

“This is not a trivial amount,” Clarke said. “This is in the world-league in terms of how many glaciers

we have in our mountains and what the losses will be.”

He said the big unknown is human behaviour - how rapidly the glaciers flow eternally into the ocean depends on carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas additions to the atmosphere.

It’s a “one-way trip” if melt rates worsen or even continue along the current trajectory, he said. But the simulator also showed unexpectedly positive outcomes where some glaciers could outlast the prediction if climate change stabilizes, he added.

“I thought that we might not even have a possibility of a good result, even

if we behaved really nicely,” he said. “But this suggests there is a reward for good behaviour.”

Digital pictures of the models at increments from 2010 to 2100 look exactly as if photographed from satellites, but are truer to life because they simulate the physics of ice flow, said Clarke.

The novel simulator is more sophisticated than other calculators, using technological prowess similar to flight simulation or car racing programs, he said.

“You’ve got the physics that describes what’s going on. You try to put as much as you can in there. And if you’ve done a good

Hockeyville title comes with NHL preseason game

By Stephen Heywood Peninsula News Review

The NHL is coming to the Saanich Peninsula next season.

Panorama Recreation Centre’s Arena B in North Saanich erupted in cheers and shouts as the announcement was made Saturday afternoon that the rink was the top votegetter in the final round of the Kraft Hockeyville competition. Their 1.1 million votes put Panorama over the top — not only to take home $100,000 for arena improvements, but to host an NHL preseason game. Panorama defeated Chatham, Ontario for Hockeyville’s premier award.

The announced match will be between the Vancouver Canucks and the San Jose Sharks, featuring Peninsula hockey product Matt Irwin.

Jason Fletcher, who initially nominated Panorama in the Kraft Hockeyville challenge, says he was thrilled that the rink won and he quickly credited the community and the scores of volunteers who made it all happen.

“We were half a million votes better,” he says. “Hats off to all of the volunteers. I may have started the ball rolling but this went a lot bigger than just me.”

Fletcher was celebrating his birthday Saturday and says the Hockeyville win certainly was a topper.

He says the effort and all of the votes shows that hockey is ingrained in everyone’s spirit in Canada.

“It doesn’t have to be 30 degrees below zero or covered in snow,” Fletcher says, indicating Vancouver Island’s typically balmy winter weather. “This will be great for the kids to see their heroes play hockey on the Saanich Peninsula.”

job, it resembles the system you’re trying to emulate,” Clarke said.

The team included factors such as the strength of the Earth’s gravity field, the melting temperature of ice, and accounted for precipitation falling as snow or rain depending on elevation.

But Clarke noted that in some ways, the melt isn’t as dire in Canada because the glacial water doesn’t sustain huge populations.

For a full-time student taking university transfer arts, the increase will add about $32.67 per semester, bringing a semester’s tuition to $1,666.11. For a student taking the office assistant program, the increase will add about $42.82 for the program (total tuition of $2,183.79). A level one auto service technician apprentice will see tuition increase by about $14.50 to $739.63.

The Vernon Students Association admits it’s concerned about the college continually applying the annual two per cent increase to tuition, the maximum allowable by legislation.

“With each tuition increase, the difficulty of maintaining accessibility to post-secondary for students is compounded,” said Eric Reist, VSA general manager.

“We contend that public education needs to be adequately funded, and that the province needs to realign itself with the values held by the majority of British Columbians.”

Duffy the one on trial, but top Tory figures will land in defence’s sights

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Suspended senator Mike Duffy may be the one on trial, but he won’t be only person to see their motives, character and actions dissected, examined and critiqued over the next several weeks inside an Ottawa courtroom.

Beginning Tuesday, Crown lawyers will lay out their fraud, breach of trust and bribery case against the former Conservative 31 charges in total.

But so too will begin attorney Donald Bayne’s defence of Duffy, a counterattack that will likely focus in part on the behaviour of key figures from the Prime Minister’s Office and party circles.

The expected release of new documents and internal emails in the form of court exhibits has the capacity to breathe new life into the political scandal that consumed the House of Commons two years ago.

A crush of media interest in the trial has prompted officials to establish an overflow room at the downtown Ottawa courthouse where several camera angles are displayed on large screens in order to accommodate journalists.

Bayne has already given a public preview of sorts of how he plans to approach the allegations. Back in October 2013,

Bayne held an animated press conference to respond to the looming suspension of his client from the upper chamber.

Charges were laid in July 2014.

“You’ve seen a little of Sen. Duffy’s evidence and side of the story,” Bayne said at the time.

“It’s simply the tip of the iceberg, if he ever had a proper hearing and an opportunity to advance this evidence. That’s why we have trials.”

That spring, news broke that the prime minister’s chief of staff, Nigel Wright, had secretly paid for Duffy’s $90,000 in contested living expenses. Duffy had submitted claims for a secondary residence in the Ottawa area, even though an audit said he spent approximately 30 per cent of his time at the designated primary residence in P.E.I..

Police allege Duffy was the one setting conditions and making demands in exchange for resolving the expenses controversy - hence the bribery charge. An email dated Feb. 13, 2013, in which Duffy’s previous lawyer outlined a number of scenarios and conditions, is a central document. Bayne and Duffy have alleged it’s the other way around.

“The payment of $90,000 was not the doing of Sen. Duffy,” Bayne said in 2013.

“It was a political tactic forced on him by the Prime Minister’s Office.”

That concept - a political tactic orchestrated by Stephen Harper’s underlings - is something Justice Charles Vaillancourt is likely to hear a lot about.

Wright’s lawyers told police during an interview in June 2013 that he believed covering Duffy’s expenses “was the proper ethical decision that taxpayers not be out that amount of money,” according to the RCMP’s court filing.

“He did not view it as something out of the norm for him to do, and was part of being a good person,” the police said of a later interview with Wright.

Wright’s friends have praised him as someone of impeccable ethics, guilty only perhaps of an uncharacteristic lapse in judgment.

But other emails back and forth between Wright and Duffy, and between Wright and other Conservative staffers, could be framed to suggest that it was politics, not morality, that motivated Wright and others.

In emails, Wright called the brewing controversy “our public agony,” and spoke of Conservatives “circling the wagons.”

One of the most revealing sets of internal emails filed in court involved the

Newfoundland

Officer investigating perceived threat shoots man dead

THE CANADIAN PRESS ST. JOHN’S, N.L. - Premier Paul Davis of Newfoundland and Labrador says his staff told police about tweets that prompted an investigation into a perceived threat during which a man was shot dead.

Davis says he wasn’t aware about the tweets until he heard about the death of Don Dunphy, who was fatally shot by an officer with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary on Sunday.

“I was shocked, deeply saddened yes-

terday to learn of the events that had taken place,” Davis told a news conference Monday.

“This is a terrible tragedy for so many reasons. My thoughts and prayers are with the Dunphy family, with the people of Mount Carmel in the area where this took place and with those that have been impacted by this very tragic event.”

Chief William Janes of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary said the officer involved was a member of its

protective services unit, which provides security and ongoing threat and risk assessments for the premier and elected officials.

Janes said the officer was working a regularly scheduled shift Sunday when he went to the home of Dunphy in Mitchells Brook, about 80 kilometres southwest of St. John’s, as part of an investigation.

Janes said he wasn’t aware of the officer having any partner or backup when he went inside the home at about 2:30 p.m.

manipulation of a Senate committee, one drafting a report on Duffy’s expenses in the spring of 2013.

PMO staffers set about ensuring the committee remove any negative language from the report on Duffy, and at one point discussed how to get an independent audit firm to refrain from drawing any conclusions on Duffy’s residency status.

As the RCMP put it, there was a “moment of impasse” when a staff member in then-government Senate Leader Marjory LeBreton’s office balked at the PMO’s interference.

“Do I need to call Marjory?” Wright asked in an email. “They think they are hurting Duffy, but they will end up hurting the prime minister instead.”

Duffy was also coached by PMO staff on what to say to the media about the repayment of his expenses.

“It’s a scenario, in Nigel Wright’s own words, that was created for Sen. Duffy not because he had anything to hide or he’d made inappropriate claims, but because the PMO had decided they wanted to sweep a political embarrassment to their Tory base under the rug,” Bayne said in 2013.

The trial is scheduled to take place between April 7 and May 12, and from June 1-19.

B.C.’s labour market goes global

T

he labour situation in B.C. is showing increased signs of strain, even before a long-promised boom in heavy construction gets set to ramp up this summer.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond announced last week that B.C. is suspending its “provincial nomination” program for 90 days. This program allows the province to recommend people for federal immigration, based on skills in demand in B.C. The B.C. provincial nomination program saw its number of applications triple to 1,200 for the month of December, as the federal government cracked down on the temporary foreign worker program. Thousands of temporary foreign workers who have hit the fouryear deadline are being sent home, with many of them turning to the provincial nomination track.

Bond has been pleading with Ottawa to raise B.C.’s annual provincial nomination quota from 5,000 to 7,000 or more. The threemonth pause is so her ministry can add staff and speed up processing time.

Backlogged applicants will still be considered, and exemptions for health care workers and a northeast pilot program are being maintained.

Even with the current slump in energy prices and before anticipated pipeline and liquefied natural gas projects start, the labour shortage in the northeast is near crisis.

The last time I was in Dawson Creek, radio ads were offering signing bonuses for qualified truck drivers. In Fort St. John, grocery and hardware retailers have come to depend on foreign workers to keep going.

While supposedly educated young people work part-time and refuse to

leave the comforts of southern city life, this is the reality up north, and it’s only going to get worse.

This summer, work is scheduled to start on the Site C dam on the Peace River, the most costly construction project in B.C. history. And a union vs. non-union battle reminiscent of the old Expo 86 labour wars is underway.

The B.C. and Yukon Building Trades (BCYT) are demanding a project agreement that requires all workers on Site C to be

paid their rates, and are warning of chaos on the huge project if they don’t get their way.

BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald told me that’s not all they want. They are also seeking quotas for members of their unions on a project that will be a small city of 1,700 people at peak construction.

BCYT executive director Tom Sigurdson says that while all sides acknowledge the need for foreign workers for Site C, he wants to control that too, working with their affiliated unions in the United States.

There will be nonunion construction firms, some of them owned by aboriginal communities in the north. There will be contractors affiliated with the Christian Labour Association of Canada. The BCYT hopes to set wages and conditions for them all, and influence Ottawa’s temporary foreign worker

program to boot.

McDonald and Premier Christy Clark have politely told them to pound sand. Their formula would add millions in costs to the project, driving up BC Hydro rates even more than they are already rising. BC Hydro has already done dam upgrade projects using a “managed open site” model and it’s not inclined to return to the era of W.A.C. Bennett as Sigurdson demands.

Sigurdson makes a valid point that when two concrete masons compare paycheques on the Site C project and one sees he’s making $5 an hour less, he won’t be happy.

He will want the higher rate, and the BCYT is taking BC Hydro to court to ensure they can recruit new members on the site.

It looks like a hot summer ahead.

“More businesses than in previous surveys anticipate an outright decline in sales volumes,” the document said.

Expectations were higher in the previous report, based on a survey between Nov. 17 and Dec. 11, near the beginning of a sudden, deep decline in oil prices that is expected to persist for an extended period.

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The sting of lower oil prices has reduced the confidence of companies when it comes to future sales growth, investment and hiring, the Bank of Canada says in its latest business outlook.

once the reviews are completed, these professors are dismissed as surplus to requirements (Thatcher abolished tenure years ago). “Brand” is the thing, not brains.

Governments don’t understand universities: they see them as part of the economic system, rather than as a harbour of safety for demanding thinkers and scientists in a growingly complex society.

Rather than encouraging the pursuit of understanding and evidence-based reasoning, universities are being urged to be politically correct and largely silent on major social issues like inequality, poverty, non-sense government policy and social issues.

In the new culture of intolerance of dissent, many professors are being required to sign “gag” orders which insist that they are silent on issues such as climate change, bioethics, biodiversity, First Nations’ rights or other matters which challenge “government think”.

Indeed, many contracts of employment for those hired to teach or undertake research in UK, Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands now contain clauses which demand such compliance. In Canada, faculty members who hold views contrary to those of the majority have often been silenced.

We are losing the focus and character of our institutions in the name of compliance, correctness and cash. We need them back. We need them now more than ever. It is time for students, staff and others in society to get behind those who dissent from the current neoliberal view of our universities and start a movement dedicated to returning the public good role of universities to the public.

The developments at Western provide one lit fuse. Warwick’s decision to outsource significant amounts of its teaching must be another. Can we light some more?

Easter treats at ranch Liz Bevan Photo

H. Audrey Urquhart (nee Thomson) November 28, 1919—April 2, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Audrey Urquhart. She was, for most of her long life, the strength and bonding element of her extended family.

Audrey was predeceased by her husband Jim Urquhart in 1993, her daughter Ann in 2014 and infant son. She is survived by her son-in-law Lloyd Skiboff, son John (Dianne), daughter Margie (Bob), former son-in-law Geoff Walker and son Jim (Judy), grandchildren Susan Rodgers-Slade, Todd Rodgers, Cristine Urquhart, John Urquhart, Peter CharlieWalker, Heather Walker, Geoffrey Walker, Daniel Urquhart, David Urquhart, ten great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren as well as many nieces and nephews. Audrey was born into a large family in Newcastle, New Brunswick and, after finishing high school there, went to Jeffery Hale Hospital in Quebec to train as a registered nurse.

Upon graduation, she joined the war effort and went overseas to England where she was a lieutenant nursing sister in Basingstoke plastic surgery hospital.

Before the war was over, her young brother was killed, his plane shot down over Holland.

After the war, Audrey moved across the country to Rossland where she met Jim and raised a family.

Audrey worked as a nurse for 30 years in the Trail Regional Hospital, many of those years on the maternity ward, then the last ten years as the head nurse on extended care.

Audrey took a break from nursing for ten years to help her husband in his meat market business. When she retired from nursing at age 65 she was active advocating for seniors, and was instrumental in bringing the medical alert system to Trail. She was a recipient of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal.

Audrey’s busy life also included travel, involvement with her church and going with her husband and family and their horses to horse races. In her younger days, she rode her horse (Misty) in the Trail Horsemen’s Society’s musical ride. Mom was in a choir, she played the piano, sewed clothes and just about anything she put her mind to.

Audrey will be forever missed, as she touched so many lives in a positive way. The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, people do a random act of kindness in her memory.

A Memorial Service will be held at the Trail United Church, Thursday, April 9, 2015 at 11:00am. Jordan Wren of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ is entrusted with arrangements.

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

Nevay Hadikin, 3, gets in close for a look at one of the mini donkeys at Harding Heights Ranch on Saturday. The Hadikin family was at the annual Easter egg hunt hosted by the ranch and Nevay was just one of the over 200 kids who showed up to take part in the fun.

Gritty Lach centred Habs’ famous Punch Line, won first Art Ross Trophy THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - Elmer Lach was more than just the centre who fed passes to Maurice (Rocket) Richard on the Montreal Canadiens famous Punch Line.

The Nokomis, Sask., native, who died at age 97 in Montreal on Saturday, could skate and score well enough to be called Elegant Elmer and had a battling nature that made him an invaluable player for the 1940s Canadiens.

“They used to call him Elegant Elmer but he wasn’t very elegant,” said broadcaster Dick Irvin Jr., whose father Dick Irvin Sr. was Lach’s only coach through this 14-year NHL career from 1940 to 1954. “He was a tough little guy.

“But he was a wonderful playmaker. He knew what to do with the puck.”

Before his death, Lach was the oldest surviving NHL player, 42 days older than a former rival with the Boston Bruins, Milt Schmidt. Irvin Jr. compared Lach’s combination of grit and skill to the now 89-year-old (Terrible) Ted Lindsay.

Lach retired as the league’s alltime leader in points with 623, which is a far cry from the current record of 2,857 by Wayne Gretzky but was accomplished in an era of 50-game seasons in a super-competitive six-team league.

The Punch Line with Toe Blake on left wing and Richard on the right terrorized opposing goalies for four years until Blake’s retirement

in 1948.

It started in 1944-45 when Richard became the NHL’s first 50-goal scorer and the linemates finished first, second and third in the scoring race. Lach had 54 assists and a league-leading 80 points and won the Hart Trophy that season.

It was not until his second scoring title that he became the first recipient of the Art Ross Trophy, which was inaugurated in the 194748 campaign. Lach won Stanley Cups in 1944, 1946 and 1953.

And he did it the hard way.

While he amassed 215 goals in 664 NHL games, Lach missed 150 games with a staggering number of injuries. He broke his nose seven times and broke his jaw twice in the same season. He missed almost all of his sophomore season with a broken elbow, had a fractured skull and broke nearly every other bone somewhere along the way.

One broken nose came when Richard jumped up to hug him after Lach scored the winning goal in overtime against Boston to clinch the 1953 Stanley Cup. After Lach passed Bill Cowley of Boston’s 594 points to become all-time scoring leader in 1952, a centre-ice tribute was held at the Forum at which he got $11,000 in cash and gifts that included a TV, a fridge, a freezer, a chair and a rowboat. Teammates pooled money and gave him a washing machine.

Lach entered the Hall of Fame in 1966.

LAST REFLECTIONS OF HOCKEY SEASON

GUY BERTRAND PHOTO

A sure sign of the change of seasons is underway at the Cominco Arena as the ice from a busy hockey schedule slowly melts away. While the ice melt usually means summer is just around the corner, in roughly four months, the ice age will return in time for hockey camp at the beginning of August. Staff at the arena will avoid another big job, removing the glass around the rink, which is usually done prior to the Bull-a-Rama. However, that event has been cancelled this year.

Blue Jays spoil A-Rod’s return

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - The Toronto Blue Jays gave Canadian catcher Russell Martin the second-largest contract in franchise history to help bolster a potent lineup and give the young pitching staff a steady guide.

One game into the new season, the deal is looking pretty good for the team with the longest playoff drought in baseball.

Martin singled in two runs and Edwin Encarnacion hit a tworun homer off Masahiro Tanaka as the Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 6-1 Monday in Alex Rodriguez’s return to the major leagues.

Without retired Derek Jeter in the lineup, a restless opening-day

crowd at Yankee Stadium reserved one of its only cheers for Rodriguez in his first game back from a year-long drug suspension. Batting seventh, his lowest spot in a regularseason game since he batted eighth in 1996, A-Rod singled, walked, and lined out.

“I have to admit, it definitely felt good. That’s for sure,” Rodriguez said after New York’s fourth straight opening day loss.

Drew Hutchison, at 24 the youngest opening-day starter in Blue Jays’ history, held the Yankees hitless until the fourth.

Hutchison (1-0) allowed three hits, including Brett Gardner’s homer in the sixth inning, to help Toronto improve to 20-19 in openers, including 1-2

vs. the Yankees.

“I was extremely excited,” Hutchison said. “It was a big day, overall.”

Last July, Hutchison helped the Blue Jays snap another skid against New York: a 17-game losing streak in the Bronx.

Now, he hopes to help Toronto return to the postsesaon for first time since winning the World Series in 1993.

Martin, an ex-Yankee from Chelsea, Que., hit a singled in a fiverun third inning against Tanaka (0-1). Devon Travis homered later in the game for his first career hit, taking a speedy turn around the bases.

Travis is the first Jay since J.P. Arencebia to homer for his first majorleague hit.

Despite high-profile signings, Cuban major leaguers dip slightly THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Despite high-profile signings during the off-season, there was one fewer Cuban-born player on opening-day rosters this year than in 2014.

There were 18 Cubans on major league rosters Sunday, according to the commissioner’s office. The Cuban players who signed the most-lucrative contracts both began the season in the minors: Boston outfielder Rusney Castillo ($72.5 million for seven years) was sent to Pawtucket and Arizona outfielder Yasmany Tomas ($68.5 million for six seasons) to Reno.

Major League Baseball said 230 of 868 players on opening-day rosters, disabled lists and the restricted list were born outside the 50 states, with the percentage rising to 26.5 from 26.3 per cent.

Players were born in 17 countries and territories outside the 50 states, the most since 2001.

The Dominican Republic has topped

the list each year since MLB began tracking the numbers in 2005. There are 83 Dominican players, one more than last year but down from a high of 99 in 2007. Every team except Washington had a Dominican-born player on its openingday roster.

Venezuela was next with 65, six more than last year. Puerto Rico had 13, followed by Canada, Japan and Mexico (nine), Colombia, Curacao and Panama (four), South Korea (three), Australia, Brazil, Nicaragua (two); and Aruba, Netherlands and Taiwan (one).

Kansas City catcher Paulo Orlando became the second Brazilian on an opening-day roster.

Texas has the most players born outside the 50 states with 15, trailed by Toronto (12), and Boston and Detroit (11 each).

Oakland had the fewest with two: Dominican pitcher Fernando Abad and Canadian third baseman Brett Lawrie.

Sports The long and short of it: Adam Scott going back to long putter for best odds at Masters

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUGUSTA, Ga. Adam Scott showed up at Augusta National on Sunday with a familiar friend - his long putter.

Scott said the Masters is too important for him to keep experimenting with the short putter that he used during the Florida swing with mixed results. The anchored stroke used for the long putter will be outlawed starting in 2016, and the Australian appeared to be getting an early start in making the change.

But just not for this week. And probably not in June, July or August for the other

majors.

“It just seemed like the sensible thing to do,” Scott said. “I’m not here to just see what happens. I’m here to get the job done, and the odds are more in my favour of doing that with the longer putter considering I’ve used it the last four years.”

Scott tied for fourth on the fast greens of Doral. He then missed a series of short putts at Innisbrook and missed the cut for the first time in nearly three years on the PGA Tour. His putting was suspect a week later at Bay Hill when a good start turned into a tie for 35th.

Going back to the long putter was hardly a problem, and Scott smiled when asked if it was similar to going back to an old girlfriend.

“Depends on the girlfriend,” said Scott, who got married right after the Masters last year. He didn’t start playing this year until his wife gave birth to their first child in February.

His putts - two of them actually - are part of the lore at Masters. Scott made a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole in 2013 that ultimately got him into a playoff with Angel Cabrera. He then sank a 12-foot birdie putt on the second extra hole to become the first Australian in a green jacket.

He went to No. 1 in the world a year later.

Scott first went to the long putter in 2011, though what gets overlooked is that his overall game improved. He ranked among the top 30 in total driving (distance and accuracy) from 2011 through 2014, compared with only one year in the top 30 dating to 2003.

The putter became a big part of his iden-

tity, however, especially winning the first major. That will have to change in 2016, and Scott appeared to be working toward the change at the start of this year. Scott, however, is at a stage in his career where he is trying to add majors.

There are only four a year, starting at Augusta.

“I certainly think I’ll be putting with the longer putter later on this year,” he said.

“It’s a process. I’ve got time up my sleeve to change. If you call the last few weeks a bit of an experiment, it’s good to know that I learned things about what I was doing and what I think about and what my principles are in the putting.”

Scott was wearing his green jacket on Sunday to help present trophies to the winners of the Drive, Chip and Putt contest in its second year.

Sunday at Augusta National is unlike any other going into a major. Matt Every and Miguel Angel Jimenez shared the putting green with a group of kids ready to take part in the putting competition on the 18th green.

Ronaldo’s five goals rekindle scoring duel in Spanish league

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BARCELONA, Spain - Cristiano Ronaldo’s devastating five-goal performance on Sunday has rekindled his ongoing duel with rival Lionel Messi to see which star ends the season as the Spanish league’s top scorer.

Messi will get his turn to torment a struggling Almeria on Wednesday, when Barcelona aims to protect its four-point lead over Ronaldo’s Real Madrid at the top of the standings.

Later that evening, Madrid crosses the Spanish capital to face Rayo Vallecano and looks to maintain its momentum from Sunday when Ronaldo struck five times in its 9-1 destruction of Granada.

Bubba Watson presented trophies to one age group, and then headed out to play a practice round with his wife. Such are the privileges of a Masters champ.

“Hopefully, she doesn’t beat me or I might have to withdraw,” Watson said.

Augusta National member also can play the golf course, which included former Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Lynn Swann.

Two of the headliners at this Masters - Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy - were not seen.

Woods played practice rounds on Tuesday and Friday before deciding he would play for the first time in seven weeks. McIlroy, the No. 1 player in the world, needs a Masters victory to complete the career Grand Slam.

Watson doesn’t mind that he isn’t mentioned as much, even with a chance to become only the fourth back-to-back winner at the Masters.

“We’ve all got to make putts,” he said.

“It doesn’t matter what the headlines say.”

Scott couldn’t agree more, which is why he’s going back to a familiar putter.

Messi and Ronaldo have led the Spanish league in scoring for the past five seasons, and this year is proving to be the most intense shootout of all.

Ronaldo surged ahead at the start of the campaign for what appeared to be an unassailable lead of 23 goals to Messi’s 13 through 15 rounds.

Messi then went on a scoring streak of his own to help Barcelona move ahead of Madrid in the standings and edge Ronaldo 32-30 in their individual contest.

But Ronaldo has struck six goals in his last two games, including his first career five-goal match, to take a 36-32 lead.

Movie: “Buried” Å ø M3 # KREM News

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - The high-octane “Furious 7” peeled out of the gates in its opening weekend, picking up a stunning $143.6 million from 4,004 locations to easily top the domestic box office, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The expectation-shattering sum is a franchise best for the $190 million Universal Pictures film.

“Furious 7” also unseats “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” which opened to $95 million on the same weekend last year.

Holdovers populated the rest of the top spots with DreamWorks Animation’s “Home” earning $27.4 to take a distant second place. “Get Hard” brought in an estimated $12.9 million, while “Cinderella” and “The Divergent Series: Insurgent” rounded out the top five with $10.3 million and $10 million, respectively.

‘Price is Right’ model apologizes for $21,960 mistake

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - “The Price is Right” model Manuela Arbelaez thought she would have to come on down to the unemployment line after she mistakenly revealed the price of a new car on the game show.

The 26-year-old model said in an interview Friday that she lost her train of thought while exposing the answers to “Five Price Tags,” a game that involves correctly choosing a vehicle’s value among five oversized tags. Arbelaez accidently unmasked the correct $21,960 price after the contestant’s first pick, even though the participant still had two more chances to guess.

“It was a brain fart,” said Arbelaez. “I just zoned out. I literally did not see that coming. My body took over and reacted before my brain had a chance to stop it.”

The goof brought Arbelaez to tears and sent “Price is Right” host Drew Carey into a giggle fit.

“Congratulations, Manuela just gave you a car,” Carey told the contestant.

The clip of Arbelaez’s unexpected exposure made the social media rounds online after the episode aired Thursday. Arbelaez joked about her flub on Twitter, but she said Friday that it wasn’t a laughing matter for her during production of that episode.

“We took a commercial break, and I was still very overwhelmed,” said Arbelaez. “I was in tears.

I thought, ‘Well, this is it.’ I asked the producers, ‘Am I going to be fired?’ They started laughing and told me of course I wouldn’t be fired.”

Arbelaez, who has been showcasing prizes on “The Price is Right” for six years, has been surprised by the attention her blunder has garnered.

The clip on the show’s official YouTube channel has received more than 3 million views.

“It’s been overwhelming, in a good way,” Arbelaez said. “I knew I was going to get a couple of tweets and videos with my name tagged on it, but this has gone viral. It’s amazing how people reacted. It’s been very positive. Everyone has been so nice and supportive.”

Arbelaez said she wasn’t reprimanded for the error, and $21,960 wasn’t deducted from her paycheque.

Men doing more housework may not lead to sex Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

the house should not be tied to how much sex you get. You should help because it’s the right thing to do, and, as a partner in a relationship, you should do your share. If it also makes your partner feel appreciative and less exhausted, that often translates to more sex. But there are so many factors that go into the desire for intimacy that you’d have to discuss it more thoroughly with your wife to find out what she needs and wants from you that will make her feel desirable and interested.

We can guarantee you, though, that if you watch TV while she does all the housework, there is likely to be no sex at all.

and Disgusted Other Half” wrote an open letter to her husband, who thought it was funny to criticize her in front of their children and friends.

I was married to a man who became increasingly verbally abusive over the years. The last eight years of our marriage were horrible. He put me down in front of our employees and demeaned me about everything from my minor weight gain to my housekeeping and cooking.

Then he said his abuse was my fault. I became totally uninterested in him physically, which made him even angrier.

Two therapists told him this was verbal abuse, but he would not listen.

We were together for 41 years. He never thought I would have the courage to leave. But two years ago, at age 60, I decided that the thought of spending another 20 years being treated this way was more terrifying than the idea of living on my own.

I left my home and business and lost my financial security. But two years

Dear Annie: I recently saw the results of a survey that said the more work men do around the house the less sex they get. I have seen many comments in your column from women who stated the opposite -- that if a man did more around the house, he might “get more” in the bedroom.

I have always helped out with cooking, mopping floors, doing laundry, cleaning the bathroom, etc., and never once did I consider that the point was more sex. But this information confused me.

I mentioned it to my wife, who said, “Sorry.”

So, I asked another woman her thoughts on this subject, and she said men would get more sex, but she had a little smile on her face that told me different. Another woman’s answer was “maybe, maybe not.” So what’s up with the conflicting statements? Should I not help out as much? -- Confused Husband Dear Confused: Cute.

District launches testing to Deer trap vandal fined pinpoint water issues

By Trevor Crawley Cranbrook Townsman

By Steve Hubrecht

Invermerre Valley Echo

The District of Invermere will be conducting testing throughout the summer to try and pinpoint the cause of taste and odour issues that some residents have with the water coming out of their taps.

Engineers from Urban Systems, the company that does the work on the district’s water systems, and a representative from the provincial Interior Health Authority (IHA) attended a committee of the whole meeting on March 24, at which the Urban Systems engineers unveiled a work plan to test the water during the next several months.

“Basically they outlined a work plan for the next six to eight months to do a bunch of testing to see what it is that cause the taste and odour issue,” said Invermere mayor Gerry Taft, speaking after the meeting. “One of the top priorities of council, as decided during the last municipal election campaign, was to deal with the taste and odour concerns some of the public have around the water, so that’s where this

stems from. We’re following through on that.”

Taft said council members are hopeful that the engineers will be able to figure out the problem, or at least determine if it is an issue in the source supply of Invermere’s water, or if it is a problem that arises in the distribution part of the district’s water system.

In the meantime, there are plenty of anecdotal theories as to what the cause may be.

“There have been many theories for a while. One of the main ones is that there are lower levels of dissolved oxygen in the water and that creates conditions that allow organic organisms to grow. Some preliminary testing in the past showed sufficient levels of dissolved oxygen. Another theory is that some of the dead end pipes in the district’s water system would make organic compounds, if they exist, worse.

Anecdotally speaking, a lot of the complaints come from certain areas of the town, which suggests the problem is specific to certain neighbourhoods,” said Taft, adding ultimately testing is necessary to get to

the bottom of the issue.

“There are these theories, but we don’t know. We need to do further testing to determine that,” he said. “Is it an issue with the source water, or in the distribution system, or is it a combination? We don’t know.”

The IHA representative at the meeting clarified to council that while the district may have issue with taste and smell, the water is fine to drink.

“He made clear that from IHA’s perspective that this is purely aesthetic and that our water is totally safe. He was quite adamant that it meets all the IHA parameters,” said Taft.

Urban Systems will take samples throughout the summer as bench testing and compare it to winter testing, hopefully then drawing some conclusion as to the nature of the problem.

“Another of anecdotal theories is that if you have bad tasting water and you shake it, the problem goes away. So it could be that solving the issue is as simple as the district aerating its water. Or it could be as complicated as heavy duty filtration,” said Taft.

Devin Kazakoff will not be getting a permanent criminal record for his role in the vandalism of clover traps in Kimberley, however, he will have to pay over $2,700 in fines and restitution.

Handing down his ruling of a conditional discharge and fines on Wednesday morning in Cranbrook Provincial Court, Justice Ron Webb noted that Kazakoff had apologized and taken responsibility for his actions in the vandalism of four deer traps in Kimberley in February 2014.

On the same hand, Webb also denounced the act of vandalism and said it was hard to believe that Kazakoff didn’t know his actions constituted a criminal act.

The vandalism was a first time offence for Kazakoff, who was 28 years old at the time.

Kazakoff, who damaged the deer traps along with Lucky Sikora, pleaded guilty to a charge of mischief under $5,000 last week, with crown and defence counsel submitting arguments for appropriate sentencing.

Kazakoff, who admitted to being a leader with Sikora as the follower, drove down to Kimberley from Invermere on Feb. 26, 2014 and damaged four clover traps

that were located on private property in the early morning hours of Feb. 27, 2014.

Trail cameras watching the traps snapped photographs of the vandalism, while a homeowner, who observed the vandalism, notified conservation officers.

Patrolling the area, a conservation officer observed a man dressed in black wearing a balaclava and carrying a large sack getting into a yellow car.

With the help of RCMP, the car was stopped and a police dog tracked the sack, which was discovered buried in the woods and contained clover trap netting and knives.

Both Kazakoff and Sikora were arrested and charged with mischief.

Sikora had previously pleaded guilty to mischief over $5,000 in September 2014, and was fined $800 and ordered to pay restitution of $1,000 and a victim surcharge of $240.

Kazakoff, who faced a charge of mischief under $5,000, was ordered to pay $736 to the City of Kimberley for costs incurred post-vandalism, $1,000 in restitution to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, and $1,040 in victim surcharges.
