Mayor brokers compromise over Sunningdale park fence

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Problem solved and neighbours are satisfied in the matter of soccer balls leaving Lower Sunningdale Park and landing in homeowners' yards.

Trail Mayor Mike Martin gathered all parties involved, the complainant, the soccer association and neighbours opposed to a permanent chain link at the sight, and came to an amenable agreement for the installation of a temporary barrier.

Since Trail council passed a motion April 13 for a permanent fence that would obstruct park views from adjacent homes, a neighbourhood petition with 70 signatures and quite formidable arguments were brought to the city, explained Martin during Monday's governance meeting.

“This initiative has taken on an incredible amount of time for both staff and others,” said the mayor. “I thought I would try to help the process and meet with these respective groups and see if there was some middle ground to reach.”

The conclusion of all the discussions is a resolution to install a temporary netting-type fence, he confirmed.

Council unanimously agreed with Martin's summary and directed staff to investigate appropriate fencing material.

Costs, excluding ongoing labour, will be within the previously approved $7,500 budget, and the net will only be up during the April-to-August soccer season.

The planned fence is better referred to as a removable backstop net, explained Robert Baker, from the Trail parks department.

The mesh-like netting, noted to be 20-feet high by 65-feet wide, differs from the previous snow fencing in that it won't break down and crack, causing a hazard to wildlife (essentially deer) passing through the park.

“The netting will stay up for the season, rather than raising and lowering it daily,” said Baker, adding the material will be relatively unnoticeable at a distance and the black posts will blend into the natural surrounding.

“I'd like to add that the residents of the area and the soccer association should be recognized for their patience and cooperation,” said Baker. “It's a pleasure working with good people.”

B.C. Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon visited Webster Elementary School in Warfield on Wednesday morning to meet students and answers questions on her role. The Lieutenant Governor is touring the West Kootenay region this week.

Lieutenant Governor visits elementary school Stops in Fruitvale, Montrose and Salmo planned on Friday

BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

Students at Webster Elementary School in Warfield were treated to a special visit from Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon on Wednesday morning.

Just one stop on her week-long tour of the Columbia Basin, Her Honour started the visit by talking to the children about what she does everyday in the position of Lieutenant Governor for British Columbia.

“I get to visit wonderful schools like this one,” she said, adding that there are some more official aspects to the job.

“First and foremost, I go to the legislature and make sure that the province always has a government in place. I also read the Speech from the Throne, but that

is a bit dull isn't it? I swear in premier and the cabinet.”

There is much more Guichon does in her role as Lieutenant Governor, but it was time for questions from the audience.

Students raised their hands to pose their questions to the Queen's representative in B.C. Some were educational, while others were a bit on the lighter side.

“Can you quit?” asked a student.

After a small laugh, Guichon replied that she had never thought about that before “Maybe if I get really sick, or I don't want to do the job anymore.” she said. “But I am not really sure.”

Another student asked how someone becomes the Lieutenant Governor in the first place.

Guichon says anyone who wants to be in her position in the future needs to get

involved in their community.

“You have to go to lots of meetings and people will get to know you, especially if you volunteer and are active in your community,” she said, adding that on the technical side of things, it isn't a job that you can just submit a resume for.

“Both sides of the legislature put together a list of three names then that list gets sent to Ottawa and Ottawa decides.

It is a five-year appointment and I am twoand-a-half years in.”

Guichon was impressed with the extent of the students' knowledge, getting the correct answer to plenty of the questions she asked. For example, when asked who the last Lieutenant Governor for B.C. was, one student had the answer right away – Steven Point, the first Aboriginal person to hold the position.

Community Collaborators was just one of the teams signed up to hop on the Big Bike and raise some money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The team raised around $1,300 for the cause, while getting some exercise, having fun and learning a few things about how to identify if someone is having a stroke. The Big Bike was in Trail all day on Monday and had riders from the RCMP, the City of Trail, Fortis BC and more, all raising money for the foundation.

At this point it was time to check for common issues. A search of technical service bulletins came up with some possibilities but not a definitive answer.

A software error and a binding mechanical linkage could cause the problem but it looked like further investigation was required.

My time was used up for the day and further investigation was required. The power supply to and from the wiper motor was in question. There are relays, wiring a motor and mechanical bits still to look at but some vehicle disassembly would be required. I had other work to do.

I presented my results to the customer as well as a bill for my time. I felt I had made significant progress even though the wipers were currently working. I knew where I did not have to look. I gave the option of waiting until the wipers stopped working altogether or booking an appointment for further investigation.

My customers statement at this point caught me off guard. “I have never paid for diagnostics before.” “I guess I should have never come here unless my wipers were not working.”

the property in question to be owned by them or under their competent care,” she said, mentioning that the resident willingly surrendered some cats (not including the 56) to the SPCA. Feral cats are subject to impoundment because they are not confined and considered “at large” on private properties without the homeowner's permission.

After a period of time in isolation at the SPCA, and some socialization the cats can conceivably be adopted out under the organization's mandate.

A feral cat is a domesticated cat that has returned to the wild, or the offspring of such an animal. It is distinguished from a stray cat, which is a pet that has been lost or abandoned, while feral cats have never been socialized.

The only local municipality that requires licencing for cats is Montrose.

The cat regulation has been in place since 2000, and allows for two cats per household, unless the person moved to the village with more than two.

Fruitvale's animal control bylaw does not specifically address cats, but does say animals are not allowed to stray, explained Lila Cresswell, the village's chief administrative officer.

Changes sought to proposal mailouts

FROM PAGE 1 Following council’s previous decision to install the permanent fence, city staff identified a funding source for the safety barrier through its municipal insurers.

While the insurers recognized the potential solution as appropriate for a risk management grant, the situation was not deemed a priority and isn’t binding for future potential liabilities.

The city has to make best effort to avoid incidents such as tripping or falling in its parks, based on proper maintenance and care of each facility, explained Michelle McIssac, the city’s corporate officer.

“In the case of our parks maintenance programs, we need to be mowing and inspecting and so on,” she said. “If we did absolutely nothing, perhaps they could

say the city is negligent, but this is an effort to deal with the worse case scenario.”

Coun. Robert Cacchioni has lived across from the Sunningdale park for two decades, and said the issue was blown way out of proportion.

“I’ve been there 20 years and never had any trouble, doesn’t matter how many balls come into my yard, I just throw them back.”

Additionally, he asked staff to review city notices mailed to affected citizens when various changes are proposed.

“The way they go out now, you send out 18 and get two or three replies and assume the 15 who didn’t reply are okay with it.

“Specify one way or the other a reply is needed or you won’t be considered in the discussion.”

Police on the lookout during Canadian Road Safety Week Road checks this long weekend

By Times Staff West Kootenay drivers travelling on the long weekend should keep an eye out for random police road checks and check stops in the area.

Until the end of the Victoria Day holiday, local RCMP officers will be out on the streets reminding everyone on the road to buckle their seat belts, keep their eyes off their cell phones, to remain calm while driving and to stay sober behind the wheel.

It is Canada Road Safety Week and Gordon Sims, a crime prevention officer at the Trail RCMP detachment, says the campaign is all about working together. “(It) is a coordinated effort by all police agencies across Canada to target the high risk driving behaviour that puts drivers and others at risk,” he said.

“Everyone has the right get home safely. (We want) to remind people that an essential part of the enforcement job is to save lives and reduce injuries on our roadways.”

The target of the week-long campaign, which runs until May 18, are the “Big 4 Killers.”

“The focus will be on behaviours that put drivers, passengers and other road user most at risk,” he said.

“Impaired driving, failure or improper use of seat belts, distracted driving and aggressive driving.

“Your local police want to make this possible by enforcing motor vehicle regulation and asking the public to drive responsibly and safely.”

PEOPLE Peter Gay

Prize-winning historian was Freud’s biographer THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Peter Gay, a popular and prizewinning historian who meticulously traced the rise of secular Western thought, from a prizewinning history of the Enlightenment to a bestselling biography of Sigmund Freud, has died.

Gay died Tuesday at his home in Manhattan, his stepdaughter Elizabeth Glazer told The Associated Press. He was 91 and died of “old age,” Glazer said.

The German-born Gay wrote more than 25 books, including a five-part series on the 19th century bourgeois and two volumes on the Enlightenment. He also wrote about Mozart, 19th century fiction, 20th century cinema, and, in his highly regarded “Weimar Culture: The Outsider as Insider,” about art and intellectual life in Germany before Hitler’s rise.

Western Europe was the setting for much of his work and Freud was Gay’s recurring subject.

An urbane and non-believing Jew, like Freud, Gay found in him not only a compelling life and body of work, but an approach to history. Gay studied psychoanalytic training at the Western New England Institute for Psychoanalysis and he advocated Freudian techniques for historical scholarship, rejecting fears that the field would be reduced to formulas about childhood desires and neuroses.

“Freud was not a historian, but he knew that men’s minds, even their unconscious minds, change across time and differ across class,” Gay once wrote. “Concern for individuality, that mark of the historian, pervades all of Freud’s writings.”

Gay wrote several works on Freud and summed

Ronald P. Kassian Ron died peacefully at home surrounded by his family on Saturday, May 9, 2015. Ron is survived by his partner Monse, his son Ian (Chantelle) and grandson Lincoln, stepson Josh, stepdaughter Tori, his sisters Cathy and Janet (Jim), his brother Allan (Helen) and numerous nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents and his brother-in-law Jim. Ron was born in Trail on February 12, 1952 to the late William (Bill) Kassian and Hazel Kassian (nee McLeod). He spent his childhood in the Shavers Bench area before leaving to study Forestry at Selkirk College. He began his 40 year Forestry career in the East Kootenays, living in Invermere for 20 years before returning to Rossland in 1996. Ron’s Forest Fire Suppression and Forest Management skills took him to most parts of British Columbia, to California, Ontario and Australia.

Ron led an active life as a lifelong skier, hockey player and avid outdoorsman. He spent many years involved in ski racing, ski patrolling and playing hockey on many teams at all levels. He was at one with the wilderness, horses and dogs. Ron was a very genuine and caring person who will be dearly missed by his family, friends and teammates.

A celebration of Ron’s life will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, May 30, 2015 at The Miner’s Union Hall, 1765 Columbia Avenue in Rossland. Please bring your favorite photo and/or story, Ron loved stories!

As an expression of sympathy, donations in Ron’s name may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society at c/o 908 Rossland Avenue, Trail, BC, V1R 3N6.

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

up his findings in the bestselling “Freud: A Life For Our Time.” Freud’s integrity had been questioned and his theories challenged, but Gay praised his “long and unrivaled career as the archaeologist of the mind.” In “Modernism: The Lure of Heresy,” published in 2007, Gay invoked Freud as a hidden influence upon some of the most important artists of the past century.

“If much of the Freudian view of the human animal present and past appears to be fairly commonplace today, that is so because for a century much of the respectable world has made its progress toward him,” Gay wrote in the book’s preface.

Gay is also credited, through a series of essays and books in the 1950s and ‘60s, with changing the image of Enlightenment thinkers such as Voltaire from impractical idealists to astute visionaries able to work within the systems they helped overturn. Although criticized for focusing too narrowly on Western Europe, Gay helped define the era itself as a completion of the revival of ancient Greek culture that began with the Renaissance.

Gay won the National Book Award in 1967 for “The Enlightenment: An Interpretation. The Rise of Modern Paganism” and received a gold medal in 1996 from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 2004, he was given a lifetime achievement award by the American Historical Association, which praised him as a scholar who “incarnates the life of the mind.” A longtime professor at Yale University, he retired from the school in 1993.

Gay wrote in a fluid, assured style and drew upon a vast knowledge of history, culture, philosophy and psychology. In his memoir, however, he noted that his extensive scholarship on European culture included little about the Nazis.

“The truth is, I must confess, that I have deliberately refused to dwell on the mass murder of Europe’s Jews,” he wrote. “We all have our defences to help us get through life and these happen to be mine. I am not proud of them, but I see no need to apologize for them.”

Gay taught history at Columbia from 1962-69, then joined Yale as a professor of comparative and intellectual European history. In 1959, he married Ruth Slotkin, who had three children from a previous marriage to the sociologist Nathan Glazer. Ruth Gay, an award-winning author of books about Jewish life, died in 2006.

During a visit to Webster Elementary School in Warfield on Wednesday morning, Angie Heart, an Aboriginal support worker, presents Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon with a present. Her Honour was given a book and a pair of moccasins handmade by a local Metis woman.

LG impressed by students’ knowledge FROM PAGE 1 “These kids know it all,” Guichon commented. “I have been to high schools and schools all over and I don’t think that anybody knew the answer to that question.”

The Lieutenant Governor also works with different projects designed to empower youth and preserve the environment, and represents the Queen at formal functions and events.

During the visit, there was also a few gifts given to Her Honour, including an original painting and moccasins made by a local Metis woman.

Guichon returned the favour, donating a small parcel of books to Webster Elementary’s library.

The Lieutenant Governor arrived in the region Tuesday visiting

schools in Rossland, the Warfield Hall and the Trail Seniors Centre.

Following her stop at Webster on Wednesday, she headed to Castlegar for the remainder of the day.

Today her tour takes her to New Denver, Kaslo and Nelson.

On Friday, Her Honour will be visiting Salmo for an assembly at Salmo Secondary School at 12:30 p.m., followed by a tea with seniors at Salmo Valley Estates at 1:20 p.m.. Next, she will be heading to Fruitvale for a seniors’ tea at 2:40 p.m. and a community reception at the Fruitvale Memorial Hall, starting at 3:55 p.m.

For her last stop in the Columbia Basin, she will be in Montrose at the community hall for a public open house from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. All residents are welcome to attend.

Chris Burden

Artist pushed the limits of performance art

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - When Chris Burden stood in front of a camera in 1971 and had a friend open fire on him with a rifle he was making a bold statement to the world: a new artist had arrived, one who was willing to push the limits of art as far as his imagination would take it.

Over the next 44 years, that imagination would prove all but limitless as Burden had himself nailed to the back of a Volkswagen beetle, locked into a school locker for nearly a week and built a 65-foot skyscraper entirely out of Erector Set parts.

To top it off, he constructed one of Los Angeles’ most stunning landmarks, “Urban Light,” a maze of 202 restored antique street lights that welcomes visitors to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. At night it illuminates an entire block of the city’s famous Wilshire Boulevard.

Burden, who died of cancer Sunday at age 69, also predicted the arrival of driverless cars when he unveiled “Metropolis II” at the same museum in 2012. The huge, intricate kinetic sculpture, made partly out of Lego blocks, features 1,100 miniature cars racing through a

high-rise city at a scale-model speed of 240 mph.

“Chris Burden is one of the most significant artists, not only of Los Angeles but of this period of time,” Michael Govan, the museum’s director.

Burden began that legacy in 1971 when he had a friend point a rifle at him and fire a single shot for a work called “Shoot.” The video, still available on YouTube.

Three years later, he had himself nailed to the back of a Volkswagen bug for a piece he called “Trans-Fixed.”

In 1979 he created “The Big Wheel,” a huge kinetic

sculpture in which a towering iron wheel comes to life with the revving of the engine of a motorcycle. It goes on to spin for hours, initially at frightening speeds, in a display of kinetic energy that seemed to fascinate the artist and is seen in several of his works.

“He saw it not so much as the end of a process for a collector, but as a tinkerer, a scientist, somebody using models, toys, diagrams, to understand and explore the world around him,” said Paul Schimmel, former chief curator for the Museum of Contemporary Art.

National Alberta

Watchdogs to investigate shredding of documents at provincial legislature THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - Two government watchdogs say they will investigate an anonymous whistleblower’s allegations that documents have been improperly shredded as Alberta prepares to change governments.

Jill Clayton, information and privacy commissioner, and public interest commissioner Peter Hourihan say their review will focus on the Environment Ministry, but could be expanded to other departments if necessary “The individual there alleges that there’s been improper handling and destruction of files at Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development,” Hourihan said at a news conference Wednesday.

“Our role in the investigation will be to determine whether a wrongdoing was committed by an employee or employees.”

Hourihan said that if wrongdoing is found and constitutes an offence, “it will be reported to the proper authorities.”

Clayton issued a warning last week after photos appeared of bags of shredded documents being hauled away from the legislature.

Opposition parties have been demanding action to preserve records.

The NDP and leader Rachel Notley are preparing to assume control of the government after almost 44 uninterrupted years of Progressive Conservative rule.

The Tories were reduced to third-party status in the legislature in last week’s election following a string of scandals.

Quebec

Report recommends police should carry out strip searches at schools THE CANADIAN PRESS QUEBEC - A former Crown prosecutor is recommending that police be the ones to conduct any strip searches involving students in Quebec.

The suggestion comes in a report into an incident in which a 15-year-old girl was stripsearched at a Quebec City school in a highly publicized case last February.

Retired lawyer Fabienne Bouchard says a school that has serious grounds to believe a student is involved in drug trafficking should call police instead of carrying out the search itself.

The incident sparked outrage right across the country after the girl told a local paper she felt violated by the search after officials suspected her of selling drugs.

The Quebec City school board defended itself, saying the search was in line with government regulations drafted in 2010.

The school principal in question said the girl disrobed behind a curtain and that there had been no physical contact. No drugs were found.

Omnibus budget bill rewrites history to clear RCMP of potential criminal charges

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The Harper government moved to retroactively rewrite Canada’s access to information law in order to prevent possible criminal charges against the RCMP, The Canadian Press has learned.

An unheralded change buried in last week’s 167-page omnibus budget bill exempted all records from the defunct longgun registry, and also any “request, complaint, investigation, application, judicial review, appeal or other proceeding under the Access to Information Act or the Privacy Act,” related to those old records.

The unprecedented, retroactive changes access to information experts liken them to erasing the national memory - are even more odd because they are backdated to the day the Conservatives introduced legislation to kill the gun registry, not to when the bill received royal assent.

The date effectively alters history to make an old government bill come into force months before it was actually passed by Parliament.

A source familiar with the complaint, speaking on condition of anonymity due to its sensitivity, said the government moved out of concern Information Commissioner Suzanne Legault is poised to recommend charges against the Mounties for withholding - and later destroying - gun regis-

“It seeks to rewrite history, to say that lawful access to records that existed before didn’t actually exist after all, and that if you exercised your quasi-constitutional right of access to those records, well too bad, you’re out of luck.”

Fred Vallance-Jones

try documents while the legislation was still being debated.

Indeed, shortly after the story broke Wednesday, Legault’s office announced it would be tabling a special report Thursday detailing an investigation into the long gun registry and an access to information request.

The government feels no one should face a penalty for being overly eager to enforce the will of Parliament before the legislation had been voted into law.

A spokesman for Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney would only say the retroactive law will fix a “bureaucratic loophole” that allowed citizens to request heavily redacted copies of the gun registry data while the legislation to destroy the data was before Parliament.

“This clearly goes against the will of Parliament that all copies of the registry should be destroyed,” spokesman Jeremy Laurin said in an email response.

Legault’s office refused to discuss any investigations, citing confidentiality provisions, or even to comment on the govern-

friends in high places, they change the law,” said Drapeau.

“The correcting mechanism, if that’s what they’ve done, is worse than the actual crime.”

Some in the gunowning community suspect the RCMP has actually preserved gun registry data for its own investigative purposes, and that the blanket, backdated exemption on record searches inserted into the omnibus budget bill is a means of keeping that revelation under wraps.

“The only thing I can figure out is they don’t want to be confronted anywhere anymore,” Dennis Young, a former Reform party staffer on Parliament Hill and an honorary life member of the country’s two biggest firearms advocacy associations, said in an interview.

Young said he’s raised his concerns directly with the public safety minister’s office.

“As soon as I asked them about that, they shut right up. They don’t want to talk about that at all.”

ment’s rewrite of the access-to-information law.

Spokeswoman Josee Villeneuve said in an email the mandate of the commissioner’s office is to investigate compliance with the Access to Information Act by federal institutions and make findings of fact.

“The office is not a court or tribunal, and the commissioner has no authority to determine civil or criminal liability. She therefore cannot lay charges against individuals,” Villeneuve wrote.

Justice Minister Peter MacKay offered a cryptic comment Wednesday, saying the reasons for the retroactive changes are “complicated,” adding, “There are other areas that we’re dealing with, quite frankly, partly at the Department of Justice.”

The retroactive changes in the budget bill leave access-toinformation experts aghast.

“I find this provision almost Orwellian,” said Fred Vallance-Jones, an associate professor at the University of King’s College in Halifax and an expert in access to information law.

“It seeks to rewrite history, to say that lawful access to records that existed before didn’t actually exist after all, and that if you exercised your quasi-constitutional right of access to those records, well too bad, you’re out of luck.”

The government is setting a precedent to move retroactively on any record it doesn’t want exposed, Vallance-Jones said.

Michel Drapeau, a lawyer, former military colonel and access-toinformation author, noted there has never been a charge laid under the Access to Information Act, let alone a conviction.

He said the rationale of moving retroactively to prevent a possible prosecution is “a dangerous and unwelcome precedent” that should be as unwelcome to the RCMP and the administration of justice as to freedom-of-information wonks.

“The optics of it are not good: ‘Oh, so that’s the way it works now?’

L

eft-wing, rightwing, it makes no difference. Almost every elected government, confronted with even the slightest “terrorist threat”, responds by attacking the civil liberties of its own citizens. And the citizens often cheer them on.

Last week, the French government passed a new bill through the National Assembly that vastly expanded the powers of the country’s intelligence services. French intelligence agents will now be free to plant cameras and recording devices in private homes and cars, intercept phone conversations without judicial oversight, even install “keylogger” devices that record every key stroke on a targeted computer in real time.

It was allegedly a response to the “Charlie Hebdo” attacks that killed 17 people in Paris last January, but the security services were just waiting for an excuse. Indeed, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that the law was needed to give a legal framework to intelligence agents who are already pursuing some of these practices illegally. France, he

explained, has never “had to face this kind of terrorism in our history.”

Meanwhile, over in Canada, Defence Minister Jason Kenney was justifying a similar over-reaction in by saying that “the threat of terrorism has never been greater.” Really?

In all the time since 9/11 there had never been a terrorist attack in Canada until last October, when two Canadian soldiers were killed in separate incidents.

Both were low-tech, “lone wolf” attacks by Canadian converts to Islam – in one, the murder weapon was simply a car – but the public (or at least the media) got so excited that the government felt the need to “do something.”

The Anti-Terror Act, which has just passed the Canadian House of Commons, gives the Canadian Security Intelligence Service the right to make “preventive” arrests in Canada. It lets police arrest and detain individuals without charge for up to seven days. The bill’s prohibitions on speech that “promotes or glorifies terrorism” are so broad and vague that any extreme political opinion can be criminalized.

GWYNNE

DYER World Affairs

In short, it’s the usual smorgasbord of crowdpleasing measures that politicians throw out when they want to look tough.

It won’t do much to stop terrorist attacks, but that doesn’t matter as the threat is pretty small anyway.

France has 65 million people, and it lost 17 of them to terrorism in the past year. Canada has 36 million people, and it has lost precisely two of them to domestic terrorism in the past 20 years. In what way were those lives more valuable than those of the hundreds of people who die each year in France and Canada from less newsworthy crimes of violence like murder?

Why haven’t they changed the law to stop more of those crimes? If

you monitored everybody’s electronic communications all the time, and bugged their homes and cars, you could probably cut the murder rate in half.

The price, of course, would be that you have to live in an Orwellian surveillance state, and we’re not willing to pay that price.

Not just to cut the murder rate.

The cruel truth is that we put a higher value on the lives of those killed in terrorist attacks because they get more publicity.

That’s why, in an opinion poll last month, nearly twothirds of French people were in favor of restricting freedoms in the name of fighting extremism – and the French parliament passed the new security law by 438 votes to 86.

The government in France is Socialist, but the opposition centre-right supported the new law too.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government in Canada is seriously right-wing, but the centre-right Liberals were equally unwilling to risk unpopularity by opposing it. On the other hand, the centre-left New Democrats and the Greens voted against, and the vote was

closer in Canada: 183 to 96.

And the Canadian public, at the start 82 per cent in favour of the new law, had a rethink during the course of the debate.

By the time the AntiTerror Act was passed in the House of Commons, 56 per cent of Canadians were against it. Among Canadians between 18 and 34 years old, fully threequarters opposed it.

Maybe the difference just reflects the smaller scale of the attacks in Canada, but full credit to Canadians for getting past the knee-jerk phase of their response to terrorism.

Nevertheless, their parliament still passed the bill.

So should we chalk all this up as two more victories for the terrorists, with an honourable mention for the Canadian public?

No, not really. Islamic State, al-Qaeda, and all the other jihadis don’t give a damn if Western democracies mutilate their own freedoms, as it doesn’t significantly restrict their own operations. The only real winners are the security forces.

and the NDP both plan to grow the Canada Health Transfer to provinces. But the NDP would allocate billions more than the Conservatives, and do so faster.

In three years, the NDP intends to increase annual healthcare spending by more than the entire amount they plan to spend on child care eight years from now. Clearly, $15/day child care is a lesser priority than NDP rhetoric would suggest.

As the Liberal leader ponders how his party should balance spending on medical care with other options like child care, it’s worth acknowledging that Canadians don’t get much bang for their medical care buck.

Evidence shows Canada spends more on medical care than many other rich countries, but delivers only middling or below average access to doctors, CT scans, MRIs and patient satisfaction. We do, however, get well-paid doctors.

Generation Squeeze and the Canadian Public Health Association are presenting a half-day session at their annual meetings that will explore how to contain the growth of medical care spending precisely because evidence shows other uses of the funding would better promote health. All political leaders should take note, and revisit their own social spending priorities heading into the federal election.

Dr. Paul Kershaw is Founder of Generation Squeeze (gensqueeze.ca), and a policy professor in the University of BC School of Population Health.

Many young Canadians say they don’t vote because it’s difficult to discern the key differences between party platforms. Generation Squeeze aims to fix this by serving as a trusted, absolutely nonpartisan source of analysis about party platforms.

Majority of Canadians lack full understanding of sexual consent, poll finds The Canadian Press TORONTO — An online poll commissioned by the Canadian Women’s Foundation suggests most Canadians are lacking knowledge about the definition of sexual consent.

According to Canadian law, consent is the voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity, which can be withdrawn at any time.

While 96 per cent of Canadians agreed that sex should always be consensual, 67 per cent of those surveyed didn’t fully understand what that means. Only a third of the respondents identified that consent can be revoked at any time during a sexual encounter.

Pollsters also found about one in 10 Canadians believed consent is not required, or they didn’t know if it’s required, between spouses or longterm partners.

The online poll of 1,500 Canadians was conducted by Angus Reid Forum on April 8 and 9.

The polling industry’s professional body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error as they are not a random sample and therefore are not necessarily representative of the whole population.

The Canadian Women’s Foundation released the poll findings to coincide with the launch of its annual Campaign to End Violence, which runs throughout May. “Most sexual assaults in Canada are committed by someone the victim knows and trusts,” said director of violence prevention Anuradha Dugal in a release. “It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been together — sexual consent is always required.”

NDP said Tuesday it did not explore his role in the revenuesplit changes and their potential benefits.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the changes to house splits at casinos were above board and are improving takes for gaming outlets and taxpayers.

“It’s disconcerting that the minister was not able to give a direct answer as to why when an audit was done into Mr. Graydon’s activity there was no mention of this deal that allowed operators of casinos to take more money from players and give less money back to the Crown,” Horgan said.

“The business case was put together by Mr. Graydon. Mr. Graydon’s company, Paragon, now stands to benefit greatly from that.”

Gaming Control Act changes dated March 6, 2014 include a

directive to the B.C. Lottery Corp., from the general manager of the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch.

It includes amendments to the formula approving gaming revenue.

The changes mean casinos get 60 per cent of the take and the lottery corporation takes 40 per cent for both low-limit blackjack tables and low-limit roulette tables. Prior to the changes, the formula was the other way around, with the lottery corporation getting 60 per cent and casinos taking 40 per cent of the money.

De Jong said the new splits have contributed to more lowlimit tables at casinos and a corresponding increase in customers and revenues, but he couldn’t immediately provide the financial evidence.

“The process this for case was followed

appropriately and a decision was made that would appear has served the interest of both parties,” he said.

De Jong said casino operators approached the lottery corporation to change the revenue splits while Graydon was the chief executive officer, but the decision regarding the changes were made “long after Mr. Graydon left the lottery corporation.”

Fishing Report

The West Kootenay Fishing Report is provided by Kerry Reed at Reel Adventures Sport Fishing Charters in Nelson. Contact him at 505-4963 or at reeladventuresfishing.com.

Columbia River: The fishing is in full swing on the Columbia now. We had some crazy days with lots of rainbow trout taking our lures and flies. Mostly two-to–five pounds as of late, but we have hooked into a few in the seven pound range and I’m pretty sure there were a couple over 10 pounds that just wouldn’t stay on. But that’s normal.

The big ones always get away.

The hotter weather has produced some hatches on the river lately. So, dry fly fishing is making for some exciting days.

Looking forward to the next month of flyfishing, as the dry flies should get more and more productive.

Walleye fishing was pretty good for the past little while also. The usual bottom bouncer or jigs have been working well.

Some good sized Walleye at this time year too. Always makes for a good fish fry.

And again, northern pike have been caught in the past little while also.

Concentrate on the shallower, warmer water for the pike. They seem to hang around the weeded bays and drop offs. You never know what you’re going to catch out there now.

Take advantage of the pike reward program and with each head turned in earn a chance to win $500 worth of fishing gear. Turn heads into the FrontCounterBC office in Castlegar.

Kootenay Lake: Spring weather is finally here. And the water is warming up and so are the fish.

With the warmer weather here, we have seen the beginning of our flying ant hatch.

Jim Bailey photo

A fly fisher on the Columbia River battles a large rainbow earlier this month. The warm weather has brought out stonefly, mayfly, and caddis hatches and whether using lures, bottom fishing, nymphing or top-water fly fishing, the action is heating up.

This seems to bring all of the fish to surface and creates a feeding frenzy.

We have had lots of days with over 15 -to-20 fish to the boat. It’s an exciting time of year. Most of the fish left in the lake seem to be of the younger age class, so a normal day would consist of many fish between two and three pounds, with a few over five pounds. There have also been a few fish over 10 pounds caught, so it keeps it interesting.

May 1 saw another week-long opening for kokanee fishing in the West Arm and, just like the April opening, the fishing was good. The first few days were better than the last few days, but that seems to be the

norm. For the first couple days we were limited out and back to the dock by 8 a.m.

Then the last few days made us work a bit harder for the prize. But, still lots of action and some great tasting kokanee.

Looking forward to the June opening, as these fish should be even bigger.

The Gerrard run of spawning rainbows has peaked and the numbers are about what we had expected. April 27 saw the highest Gerrard count at 188, compared to 700 last year, and over 1,000 in 2012.

The low numbers this year follow a similar trend back in 2000 when kokanee numbers crashed. Hopefully they can rebound again as they did in the past. We shall see.

rbc cup

Penticton Vees win spot in semifinal

By Emanuel Sequeira Penticton Western News

Connor Chartier’s tapin goal lifted the Penticton Vees past the Carleton Place Canadians 4-3 Tuesday afternoon.

With the win, the Vees improve to 2-1 in the RBC Cup national championship in Portage la Prairie, Man., and secured a berth in the semifinal round.

“I thought it was a great, hardworking effort by our group,” said Vees coachgeneral manager Fred Harbinson. “Obviously we had a couple of tough goals against us that you don’t usually see. Every time something went wrong, we pushed hard the other direction.”

Despite outshooting the Canadians 11-6 in the opening frame, the Vees trailed 2-1. The Canadians scored the first goals 30 seconds

in on a power play as Andy Sturtz beat a screened Hunter Miska. Five minutes later, Cody DePourcq and Dante Fabbro set up Cam Amantea for the equalizer.

It was the first time in the national championship that Canadians goalie Guillaume Therien had surrendered a goal. Five minutes after that goal, the Canadians retook the lead on an Adam Lloyd shot that beat Miska over his shoulder.

Harbinson said that Miska was fine while making 15 saves, but added they need him to be better.

“He’s won enough games for us this year,” said Harbinson. “He’s the MVP of our team and he will be outstanding in our next game, I’m sure of it.”

In the second period the Vees got back on even terms with their first power play goal. With traffic in front,

Therien was beat by Steen Cooper as he fired a shot just inside the post. Dakota Conroy and Mike Lee were credited with assists. Three minutes later, at 7:49, the Vees took their first lead after Matthew Serratore put the puck on goal. Parked in front of the crease, Alferd was able to bury the loose puck. Jack Ramsey also collected an assist.

In the final frame, Chartier’s goal gave the Vees a 4-2 lead as Therien was beat five-hole. Cooper, who finished with two points, said it was a good play by their line to create the chance.

Before even getting the puck, Cooper said Conroy was yelling to get ready for the pass.

He then spotted Chartier on the opposite side.

Cooper added that their performance showed the character of the group against a good team. He

also said getting the win was huge as they chase the top spot in the RBC Cup standings.

“The Canadians are a top team,” he said. “It boosts our morale and gives us confidence.”

The Vees have now won two straight after shutting out the Melfort Mustangs 4-0 on May 10.

The Vees benefitted from the returns of DePourcq and Amantea from injuries.

DePourcq said it was exciting to get back in the lineup as he looked forward to returning and helping the team.

“I thought I played well, I just tried to keep things simple,” said DePourcq of his play against Melfort. “I didn’t try to do too much with the puck especially in the first period. As the game went on I started feeling more comfortable and confident.”

But, until then, we will just have to enjoy the fast paced action of the high population of smaller fish. Lots of fun on the lighter gear.

Duncan Lake: Duncan was good throughout April, but is slowing down now. As the water rises, the fish get more spread out and are a bit tougher to catch, although we still always seem to scrape a few up. So, it’s always worth the trip.

Bull trout up to 10 pounds have been caught in the past week, as well as some nice kokanee.

What are they biting on?

Our bucktail flies have been working best for the rainbows on Kootenay Lake.

The magic colors have been purple/pink, grey/pink, and black/white. We’ve also been catching lots on the Lyman plugs.

Mostly blues and greens have been working best for the plugs.

On the river we have had our best days fly fishing. Sink tips with nymphs or woolly buggers have been producing well for the rainbows. And for the walleye, we have been using the three-way bottom bouncing rig as well as rubber twisters with jigs.

On the Duncan, the best lures have been my Lyman plugs. Trolled on the surface or down to 60 feet seems to work best. Again, blues and greens seem to be the ticket.

What’s coming up: We are expecting the lake fishing to pick up even more as the water gets warmer. So, expect lots of fish in May, and June. Our river fishing should only get better and better as well. As the weather warms up and the bugs start hatching, the fish will become more and more aggressive. Looking forward to the next few months of fishing.

Montrose’s Kellen Jones tied the game 4:13 into the second period, after Kent Huskins had given the Comets a 1-0 lead at 17:10 of the first period. The game would remain deadlocked for over three more periods until Curtis Hamilton beat Jacob Markstrom 16 seconds into the fourth OT to give the Barons a Game 1 victory. The Barons outshot the Comets 67 to 57.

The Comets however would even the series with there own 2-1 overtime win in Game 2. This time Connor Jones opened the scoring for the Barons with an assist to Kellen at 8:50 of the first, but Adam Glendening tied it 1:31 into the third, and Alex Grenier would net the overtime winner at 3:32 of the extra frame.

Mike Zalewski broke a 2-2 tie to give Utica the 3-2 victory in Game 3 on Monday with 4:50 to play.

Lightning learn lesson from last year’s loss THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TAMPA, Fla. - So much for all those questions about what’s happened to Steven Stamkos in the NHL playoffs.

The two-time Maurice Richard Trophy winner and the Tampa Bay Lightning are headed back to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in four years after Tuesday night’s 4-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens ended their secondround series in six games.

Stamkos failed to score in Tampa Bay’s opening-round matchup against Detroit. He had three goals against the Canadiens, the last helping propel the Lightning after Montreal fought off elimination in Games 4 and 5.

The Lightning move on the conference finals, where they’ll face either the New York Rangers or Washington Capitals, who play Game 7 of their second-round series on Wednesday night.

The Lightning are one stage away from the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2011, when they lost to the Boston Bruins in seven games. Tampa Bay won its only NHL title in 2004.

“It’s exciting. I’ve always talked about 2011 was the most fun I’ve ever had playing this game.

We’re getting right on that (again) right now,” said Stamkos.

“Obviously, I want a little better result this time. This group has been resilient all year. ... We’ve got to believe that anything’s possible here,” the captain added. “We’re obviously going to be paying close attention to the game (Wednesday night).”

After watching Tampa Bay’s series lead shrink to 3-2, Stamkos urged his teammates to not play

“scared” in trying to finish off the Canadiens and avoid a trip to Montreal for Game 7.

The Lightning responded with their best game of the series, maybe the playoffs.

“We were talking about this game like it was Game 7,” Stamkos said. “We clogged it up good in the third period. It was as good a defensive period as we’ve played.”

Montreal’s loss means the last of five Canadianbased teams that reached the post-season is eliminated. A Canadian-based team hasn’t won the Cup since the Canadiens did it in 1993.

Nikita Kucherov had two goals and an assist for Tampa Bay on Tuesday, finishing with six goals in the series. Ondrej Palat also had a goal and an assist in the clincher, while Ben Bishop stopped 18 shots to outperform Montreal goaltender Carey Price.

“Our goalie continues to step up in big situations,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. “The longer the series goes, Ben just gets better and better.”

The Lightning finished the Canadiens despite playing without forward Ryan Callahan, who had an emergency appendectomy on Monday night.

Cooper has not ruled out getting Callahan back in the playoffs.

“Cally’s been a warrior for us since he’s been here,” Stamkos said. “We miss him out there for sure, but we had his name up on the board before the game as a little inspiration, and guys stepped up.”

Tampa Bay is headed to the conference finals just a year after being swept by Montreal in the opening round.

“Last year, we were a young group. I think half the team didn’t play a playoff game,” before facing the Canadiens, Kucherov said. “This year we are more mature, and we have more confidence.”

Refund belongs to both people inconvenienced Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

To Be Selfish Dear Not Trying: Monique may feel that the refund belongs to her because she was the one who complained. But both of you were inconvenienced by this room, and the refund should be shared.

Tell Monique you believe it would be fair to use the refund for your next shopping excursion together. If she refuses, you are under no obligation to return there with her. She will know why.

Dear Annie: I am a woman, 5-foot-10 and 240 pounds. I wear a size 12E men’s shoe. Why do retail stores discriminate against tall women? They have petites, plus-sizes and juniors, while I am lucky to find a pair of pants any-

average height and average size, and they have discovered a big market for plussize women. But apparently, there isn’t enough demand for clothes in your size. That is why ordering things online has become such big business, and it’s a blessing for those who don’t fit into standard sizes and

cannot afford to have their clothing or shoes custom made. Please don’t give up looking. One of these days you will find an online store where the sizing works for you, and you won’t need to return everything.

where, let alone something stylish. I’m stuck between ugly and uglier.

Retailers assume all overweight women are short and round. I’m a size 14, but clothing in that size is never long enough.

All I want is a plain T-shirt or a nice pair of jeans that I can try on in a store. I have to order everything online and pay for shipping. When it arrives, I discover it doesn’t fit, and I have to return it and wait a week to get my money back.

I’m sick of people telling me to buy men’s clothing.

It’s degrading and depressing. Shoes are even worse.

I had to make my own wedding shoes. I couldn’t even find them on sites for drag queens.

Please let retailers and designers know that women come in all shapes and sizes, and once in a while, they should use a tall woman as a model. -- Fed Up Dear Fed Up: Here’s the problem with catering to every shape and size: Retailers need to make money.

Dear Annie: I have a problem with one of my best friends, and I hope you can help. “Monique” and I recently split the cost of a hotel room so we could enjoy a weekend of shopping and relaxation. We experienced a few problems with the room, nothing major, but Monique complained to the manager and got a coupon for a free night on her next visit. I was excited until she told me she intended to use it with her husband because she’s always wanted to go there with him.

I didn’t say anything to Monique, but why does this refund belong only to her?

We’ve talked about returning to the place in a few months, and I think the coupon should be used for the two of us. I will find it really difficult to come back here with Monique if I can’t get past this.

Would you please explain why she feels this is hers when I paid for half of the room? I wouldn’t care quite as much except that we always use my car and Monique only pays for gas now and then. -- Not Trying

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Friday, May 15, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today is a crapshoot, so be careful. You feel both impulsive and indecisive.

(Bad combo!) Keep things light, and enjoy the company of others. Don’t shop for anything except food and gas.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a restless day for you. Just accept this and cope as best you can. Social activities will be fun, but stay away from important decisions. Don’t volunteer for anything.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

You might encounter someone unusual today.

Perhaps someone you already know, probably a female, will say or do something that amazes you. It’s not a boring day.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Some unexpected news about your private life

Thursday, May 14, 2015 Trail Times

Just be aware of this, and be ready to do damage control, if you need to.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

You might decide to make travel plans today.

If so, wait until tomorrow to firm them up. Someone from another country or a different culture might surprise you today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Stay friends with your bank account today, because something unexpected might affect shared property, taxes and debt. Make sure you know what’s happening.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Be prepared to compromise with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. However, don’t volunteer for anything or agree to anything important. Just be sweet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your routine at work

will be interrupted because of computer crashes, power outages, fire drills, staff shortages, canceled meetings -- something. Allow extra time for wiggle room.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Parents should be extra vigilant today, because this is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids. Avoid hazardous situations. Know where your kids are at all times.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Small appliances might break down, or minor breakages could occur at home.

This is a poor day to shop for home goods (except for food). Avoid making important decisions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a mildly accidentprone day for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Be especially

alert while driving, walking or jogging.

Meadow Creek Cedar license slated to be cancelled

By Greg Nesteroff Nelson Star

For the second time in little over a year, the Meadow Creek Cedar forest license is on the brink of being cancelled.

The notice, announced by the Ministry of Forests on Monday, is effective Aug. 7, barring any postponements. The Forest Act requires a 90-day notification period and a chance for the license holder to request a review or appeal the notice.

In a statement, the ministry said it issued the notice due to its dissatisfaction with steps taken to date by Meadow Creek Cedar to meet remediation order deadlines and its “extensive history” of non-compliance in managing financial and legal obligations under the license.

It’s still possible for Meadow Creek Cedar, owned by Surrey’s Dale Kooner, to sell and transfer the license, but only if the ministry is satisfied a qualified buyer can be found before cancellation takes effect.

Kooner is believed to be in negotiations with several parties.

If cancelled, the license would revert to the Crown to decide how best to use the volume. However, it probably wouldn’t be transferred until the next timber supply review. The license has an annual allowable cut of 96,500 cubic meters, with most of the operation located around Kootenay Lake north of Kaslo.

Rural Kaslo regional director Aimee Watson said if the license is cancelled, there is no guarantee whoever gets the timber would rebuild the mill at Cooper Creek that burned last year or have a stake in the immediate community’s well being.

“Nothing in legislation gives preference to local capacity,” she said.

“It’s really just hoping at this point the Crown recognizes how important [the license] is to North Kootenay Lake economic activity and chooses an outfit that keeps the mill open.

Without it, the logs will be transferred somewhere else.”

Watson said some local contractors were trying to team up to buy the license, and the cancellation notice, with its loom-

ing deadline, may or may not help.

“It changes the game a bit and could be advantageous or not,” she said.

Meadow Creek Cedar met some but not all of the requirements of a remediation order by a March 31 deadline. District

forest manager Garth Wiggill said last month the company ordered trees for planting this spring, but the ministry seized about

11,000 cubic meters of unmilled logs to sell to other mills and service Crown debts. Wiggill wasn’t available for an interview this week,

but Watson said he has “been fantastic” about doing his best within limited legislation to look out for the community’s interests.
