Lillian Schmutz used to be an avid Tuesday Morning Quilter herself, having learned the art from her mother. Now a Poplar Ridge resident, she was on hand to admire the quality work the volunteer group put into seven touchy-feely quilts they donated to the facility. Various textures of tactile quilts can be very calming and comforting to the residents.

Final decision on hospital cap looming Regional district agrees to lobby for KBRH SHERI REGNIER Trail Times

There are two sides to every story especially when it comes to collecting tax dollars. That is why the decision to raise the cap for future hospital renovations higher than $10 million still sits

on the shoulders of municipal and regional officials. A final vote on whether to maintain or build tax reserves won’t come back to the WKBRHD (West KootenayBoundary Regional Hospital District) until later this month, but the topic did raise healthy debate during the Feb. 24 board meeting in Castlegar. “A lengthy and robust discussion occurred, and I was absolutely delighted this got to the table and got so

many of the board members engaged,” says Trail Mayor Mike Martin, the city’s board representative. “Because it is a critical issue for us in the fact that we are continuing to accumulate a reserve without a definitive plan.” Therein lies the controversy of whether the board should up the reserves, which currently amount to $9.3 million. Martin voices concern about amassing tax dollars, but concedes

his point of view is offset by other perspectives “One of the points I raised was, we are collecting taxes from current taxpayers and there is no plan against which to contribute those funds,” he added. “So the taxpayers are being imposed with a tax from which there is no benefit they are likely to realize in the short term.” The flip side of reasoning centres CONTINUED ON A3

Teck Trail Operations was penalized $3.4 million in Rossland Provincial Court on Monday. The fine relates to 13 accidental discharges that occurred between November 2013 and February 2015, according to the company’s news release. Effluent with elevated levels of substances including copper, zinc, ammonia, chlorine and cadmium were released by outfall into the Columbia River, leading to five charges under the Fisheries and Environmental Management Acts. A portion of the penalty will be designated for local environmental conservation funds. In relation to the federal Fisheries Act charges, $3 million of the fine will be directed to the Environmental Damages Fund, confirmed Catherine Adair, Teck community relations leader. “The judge recommended that these funds be directed to conservation and protection of fish habitat in the Lower Columbia region,” said Adair. “Which includes the CONTINUED ON A16 Contact the Times:

BC Lions’ linebackers Jason Arakgi and Adam Bighill took their Energy Champions presentation to Glenmerry Elementary School Monday. Thirteen-year-old Cooper Ross was selected from the crowd of students eager to volunteer during the interactive message. The Grade 7 had one minute to load on as much clothing as possible, racing against Bighill as a competitor. The BC Lions FortisBC Energy Champions program is designed specifically for children in kindergarten through Grade 7 and emphasizes the importance of environmental responsibility and being an “Energy Champion.” The program visits over 75 elementary schools throughout B.C. Arakgi and Bighill stopped at Webster Elementary School Monday afternoon. The duo will stop at Fruitvale Elementary and Rossland Summit schools Wednesday.

No Oscar but still plenty of awards for Montrose native SHERI REGNIER Trail Times

Two out of three ain’t bad when its comes to winning prestigious filmmaking awards. Especially when one of the recipients grew up in Montrose and graduated high school in Trail. Charlie O’Shea can forever include BAFTA winner (British equivalent to the American Oscar) for his work as a boom operator on “The Revenant” sound crew. The team took home the win on Feb. 14, and a week later, named Cinema Audio Society (CAS) winner for outstanding achievement in sound mixing for a liveaction movie. But the golden statue eluded the sound mixing team at the Oscars Sunday night, when “The Revenant” lost out to “Mad Max: Fury Road,” during the three-hour Academy Award affair. O’Shea , a 1981 J.L. Crowe grad, was al-

ready on another movie set in Vancouver, the third film in the “Planet of the Apes” series, when he talked with the Trail Times last month. “I’ve been hacking away at this for 30 years,” he said. “My experience helped me to get the job (“The Revenant”) and have the opportunity to be where we are right now and have these nominations.” The Vancouver-based sound crew included Chris Duesterdiek, a production sound mixer from Salt Spring Island, and Candice Todesco, a sound assistant O’Shea has worked alongside since the science fiction disaster film, “2012.” “Most people knew when we got on the movie that there was a high possibility there would be some type of nomination because of DiCaprio (Leonardo DiCaprio, lead actor who won his first Oscar Sunday night),” O’Shea added. “So everyone is kind of riding on the coattails of that.” Director Alejandro G. Inarritu also

won the Oscar for best director, his second consecutive win. Though he acknowledged being on an Oscar nominated movie was a good addition to his 30-year resume, O’Shea said he didn’t think the recognition would lead to more opportunities - he already has 67 credits to date, according to IMDb (Internet Movie Database). The lengthy list includes TV series such as “Psych” and “Da Vinci’s Inquest” as well as popular movies like “X-Men: The Last Stand,” “The A-Team,” “Tommorowland,” and “Godzilla.” “I’ve worked with a sound mixer who was nominated for an Oscar, for the movie “Unforgiven,”” he said, clarifying he wasn’t on that particular sound crew. “You might get a job before someone else, it might get you that,” O’Shea added. “I guess I can say I’ll always be employed but it’s been a long time invested in the business and it takes time to gain experience.”

Suspect wanted in attempted armed robbery in Salmo VALERIE ROSSI Trail Times

Salmo RCMP is looking for a suspect who tried to rob a general store employee at gunpoint last week. Police responded to a report of an attempted armed robbery at Piper’s General Store located at 701 Glendale Avenue

in Salmo Friday night. At approximately 6:45 p.m., a man carrying what appeared to be a black handgun entered the store, pointed the weapon at an employee and placed a bag on the counter, instructing her to hand over the cash. “The interaction ended with the male fleeing the store on foot with no money,” noted

Cpl. Riordan Bellman in a news release. “No shots were fired, and no one was injured.” Police arrived within a few minutes and initiated a dog track, which later ended unsuccessfully. No further information has been released at this time since the investigation is ongoing. The male suspect at large

was wearing a dark navy coloured zip up hoody with white pinstripes down the sleeves that night. His head was covered by the hood and a full-face mask. Anyone with information regarding this incident can contact the Salmo RCMP at 250-357-2212 or Crime Stoppers.

March meeting will determine decision CONTINUED FROM A1 on social conscience, he says. “The reverse argument is that we have a social responsibility to look after those that come after us,” Martin continued. “And we should ensure that we have good healthcare systems in place for our future generations - so there are two sides to this. And both, I think, are valid.” Local councils have three more weeks to wrestle with an outcome before the board reconsiders the matter. “We have many viewpoints put on the table,” Martin added. “So we are taking each back to our respective councils for input before we go back for the final discussion and final decision March 24.” In the interim, Martin approached the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) board Thursday evening to request support in lobbying the Ministry of Health (MoH) on behalf of the regional hospital. His appeal stems from disappointing news in December. During a visit from Chris Mazurkewich, Interior Health’s (IH) new CEO, Martin was expecting to hear some guidelines from the ministry on moving ahead with a $40 million renovation plan for Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital (KBRH). Instead, he found that the plan was sent back for the health authority to investigate whether it could fund the project - the conclusion being IH could not do it solely because several other projects are in the works. “In my view there is no question about IH’s commitment here,” said Martin. “They have told us the KRBH

Sustainability Plan is on their top priority list, and we accept that.” Martin is steadfast that strong regional advocacy is needed to move the project forward. “What we need to do now is ensure that Interior Health has the necessary support and direction from government to actually move this into a planning stage,” he said. Multiple partners are

involved, including a very important partner, the Regional District of Central Kootenay, he added. “We will be looking to them for support as well through the regional hospital district.” With the exception of one member, the RDKB board agreed to support Martin’s request. “From my perspective, if you want anything to move, you have got to lobby for it,” says

Leonardo Mazzei

It is with great sadness that the family of Leonardo Mazzei announces his passing on Friday, February 26, 2016 at 85 years of age. Leonardo passed away peacefully at home in the presence of his loving family by his side. A loved, cherished husband, father, uncle and nonno, Leonardo will be sadly missed by his wife of 63 years, Maria; children Frank (Ruby), Terry (Wendy), Ronnie (Debbie), Sandra (Steve); grandchildren Elyse (Adam), Cyrene, Amanda, Steven, Jarrett, Brandon, and Gracelyn; great-grandchildren Madilynn and Kane and his closest nieces, nephews and cousins. Born in Bocchigliero, Cosenza, Italy, he is predeceased by his parents Francesco and Caterina, brothers Angelo, Giacomo, and Rocco and sisters Teresina and Filomena. When he immigrated to Canada in 1951, Leonardo came directly to Trail to pursue a better life. He spent some years building many homes in Trail, gained employment with Cominco as a journeyman carpenter and retired with 35 years of service. After retiring to Christina Lake in 1988, Leonardo took full advantage of hunting and fishing. He loved wine making, vegetable gardening, watching hockey games and reading. In recent years, he valued his walks through the Waneta Estates neighbourhood and enjoyed conversations with his coffee buddies at the mall. Leonardo was a long time member of the Cristoforo Colombo Lodge and enjoyed the fellowship of his friends. The family wishes to thank Dr. Hii, Dr. Jacobsen, the nursing staff, care aids and especially Teresa Nutini and Vivian Johnson for palliative support. Expressions of condolence can be made in the form of donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in Leonardo’s name: 908 Rossland Ave., Trail, B.C. V1R 3N6 or to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital at 1200 Hospital Bench, Trail, B.C. V1R 4M1 (www.kbrhealthfoundation.ca). A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Thursday, March 3, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. at Holy Trinity Catholic Parish with Father Bart van Roijen, Celebrant. Al Grywacheski and Bill Clark of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ have been entrusted with arrangements. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca

Grace McGregor, RDKB board chair. “If you don’t show you are keeping track and your interest is there as a region, because it is our regional hospital, then often, you kind of get pushed to the side, ” she added. “I’m not saying that is what is happening, because I don’t know that, but what I am saying is that it can never hurt for us to work together as a unit, and try

to push some buttons to move forward.” She explained lobbying for one specific project isn’t the job of the regional hospital board. “That would put them in a very difficult position,” she continued. “But if you look at who we are - it’s our hospital. So if anyone is trying to move it forward, we should be the leaders in that.”

Bowing to the power of judges

ne of the enduring legacies of Pierre Trudeau’s time as prime minister is the legal supremacy of the individual, as articulated in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We are seeing this played out with greater force than ever today, by an activist high court that swatted aside Stephen Harper’s attempts to restrain it, and now orders a meek, politically correct Justin Trudeau government to do its bidding. The Federal Court decreed last week that people have the right to grow their own “medical” marijuana. This ruling is unlikely to be appealed, given that Trudeau the Younger is committed to legalizing marijuana for everyone. There are conditions that show measurable relief from marijuana products, such as glaucoma or the nausea and loss of appetite associated with cancer treatments. But much of the so-called medical marijuana industry is based on unsubstantiated claims about an inconsistent herbal remedy that hasn’t been studied much because it’s been illegal. The Federal Court case involves four people from B.C.,

FLETCHER

In Belgium, one of the pioneers of this brave new world, most of the growing number of euthanasia patients have had cancer. But as The New Yorker magazine reported in a ground-breaking article last summer, others have been euthanized because of autism, anorexia, partial paralysis, blindness with deafness, manicdepression and yes, chronic fatigue syndrome. B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake expressed the hope that Canada ends up with a consistent policy on doctor-assisted suicide, rather than a provincial patchwork. The closest Lake came to politically incorrect criticism was to caution that “deep discussion” is needed around the court’s notion of a “competent minor,” someone not yet entrusted with the vote or access to a liquor store. Three dissenting Conservative MPs went so far as to say the recommendations don’t adequately protect seniors who might be coerced into checking out and passing on their estates. How oldfashioned. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Some Teck employees have a choice to convert their defined-benefit (DB) pension plan to a lump sum. This is a crucial decision that will affect your retirement income for the rest of your days. I strongly recommend you make this decision with the assistance of an independent, unbiased and conflict free advisor. If you accept the lump sum also called the “buyout”, Teck will no longer provide you with health and life insurance coverage. My name is Gerry LaRouche. In 1992, Teck offered a lump sum plan to its salaried employees. Many took the offer. About 300 regretted making this decision, myself included. Some have had to go back to work to make ends meet. In hindsight, and with the financial knowledge I have gained, making this decision on my own was a gross error in judgment. But educating myself on the investment industry was one of the best moves I ever made.

LETTERS & OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Renewable energy will save money and can be done without job loss

It doesn’t make sense to squander more public money on the already highly subsidized fossil fuel industry. Fossil fuels are depleting, a primary source of air pollution, the major cause of global climatic change, and more expensive than renewable energy. Since 2001, studies have consistently shown that renewable energy costs less than fossil fuels. Looking into the future, renewable energy costs will continue to fall while fossil fuel costs - withstanding the current dip in oil prices not expected to last - will continue to rise. Renewable energy now costs less than fossil fuels because the easy-to-recover, low cost conventional fossil fuels are largely gone. The days when we could drill a few hundred metres and out would come bubbling crude are over. Today’s fossil fuels are incredibly expensive such as the Tars Sands, LNG (LFG, liquefied

fracked gas), sour gas, off-shore oil, fracked shale oil, and mountain top removal coal mining. With these fossil fuels, the energy return on investment (amount of energy spent to recovery a barrel of oil) is around one barrel of oil. We’re wasting money squeezing the last drops of fossil fuels from Mother Earth. Just like when we walked away from typewriters in the advent of computers, it’s time to walk away from fossil fuels. Subsidies won’t bring back depleted oil reserves. Leave what’s left in the ground and save money. On the other hand, the sun continues to shine free of charge. We continue to improve technologies to harness solar energy. The potential is vast. Renewable energy prices have no where to go but down. The problem is the current fossil fuel - employment equation. In Canada, there are tens of thousands of jobs in fossil fuel recovery,

transport, refining, etc. The question is how do we switch from high cost, rapidly depleting, air polluting, climate changing fossil fuels to low cost renewable energy while preserving jobs in the fossil fuel sector? The answer is simple. Transfer the $2.9 billion in annual subsidies from the fossil fuel sector to the renewable energy sector. Then, guarantee jobs for everyone employed in the fossil fuel industry with jobs in the renewable energy sector. We’d recover the investment in lower energy costs. Rather than waste more money on the fossil fuels, our governments need to map a humane transition to a lower-cost, fossil fuel free economy. By humane, I mean protect jobs. Remember the 1992 Atlantic cod fishery collapse? A renewable resource was so poorly managed that the industry crumbled and 40,000 people lost their jobs creating a social disaster. Marriages and

tended to exterminate a species before. This time it’s different. Some environmentalists have already attacked the idea, ostensibly on the grounds that removing an entire species of mosquito would upset the ecological balance and possibly cause further extinctions among the animals that feed on them. But one suspects that their real worry is the “slippery slope”. If we edit Aedes aegypti out of existence today, what species will we next choose to remove for our own convenience? That is a legitimate concern, but nothing can make mosquitoes cuddly, whereas healthy babies definitely are cuddly. The threat of Zika will trump all their arguments. Besides, there are some 3,000 species of mosquitoes (only 200 of which bite human beings), so some other species will just fill the niche left empty by Aedes aegypti and no other bird, fish or insect will go hungry. If you are still upset about “playing God”, keep a small breeding population of Aedes aegypti alive in captivity so you can repopulate the planet with the little pests if you need to. The great American biologist and champion of biodiversity E.O. Wilson gets the last word on this. In his book “The Creation: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth”, he makes a exception for Anopheles gambiae, the mosquito that spreads malaria in Africa. “Keep their DNA for research,” he writes, “and let them go.” The same goes for Aedes aegypti. We are going to commit insecticide. And we should. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

families dissolved, alcoholism and substance abuse increased, crime worsened, suicides rose. Based on that experience, imagine what would happen if Canada stopped the fossil fuel industry without a plan for the tens of thousands of working Canadians employed in the fossil fuel sector. To avoid that catastrophe, it makes economic sense to guarantee jobs for all the Tar Sands workers and for all the workers on the other expensive fossil fuel projects. Those workers could be more profitably employed building and installing wind turbines, solar panels, geothermal energy systems, concentrated solar thermal power plants, and biodiesel facilities. Those workers could retrofit existing buildings to consume less energy, consume no energy or to generate energy. Those workers could modify auto factories to build electric cars, and build clean energy mass transit.

We need to guarantee jobs for displaced fossil fuel workers in the renewable energy sector to speed the transition to a sustainable economy and to meet our climate change targets. Let’s invest in the future, not in the past. One hundred per cent renewable is not only 100 per cent possible, it will save money and it can be done without job losses. Robert M. Macrae, B.Sc. Agr., M.Sc. Castlegar

LOCAL SELKIRK COLLEGE

Annual Beans and Rice Dinner helps support students making a difference in Guatemala SUBMIT TED Simple food in rich company and common purpose – all of this is offered in a festive Guatemalan Beans and Rice Dinner to be held in Trail at 6 p.m., Friday March 11 at The Riverbelle located at 1350 Esplanade Ave. For a tenth year, great community support is making it possible for a group of Selkirk College Nursing students to travel to Guatemala to participate and learn more about grassroots Community Health projects in that country. Previous groups visited urban area free-trade zones, highland villages where community health and well-being is being affected by Canadian mining operations, and also the remote north-eastern jungle region of the country, where government health services are almost non-existent. It was a privileged and most affecting experience for everyone, and those who were part of

that journey will present their impressions at the dinner. Their stories bring to life the incredible resilience, capacity, and creativity of the Guatemalans they encountered, and how they are actively confronting the formidable challenges to health that they face. “In our work and sharing with these people, we learned so much,” said the students who previously participated in the program. “They’re making such determined efforts in their communities to promote health as a basic human right, and to bring about positive social change. They are doing so much with so little.” The event is a major fundraising effort to send the next group south this coming spring. Cost is $10 at the door (doors open at 5:30 p.m.), and children are welcome. More information available at 250-687-0222.

Vipers end Smoke Eaters season BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

More than 2,100 fans packed the Cominco Arena on Saturday for the Trail Smoke Eaters final push for a playoff berth in the BCHL Interior division. However, the Vernon Vipers had other plans and proved too much for the home team, defeating the Smokies 7-2 to put an end to the season for the orange and black. Vipers forward Liam Finlay netted a hat trick, including the winning goal midway through the first period, as the Vipers scored three power-play goals and took a 4-1 first-period lead to extinguish the Smoke Eaters playoff hopes. “I think the moment got the better of us a little bit,” said Smoke Eater coach Curtis Toneff. “Their power play was clicking and our penalty kill wasn’t, and special teams can be the difference and it was the difference in the first period. It’s tough to climb out of a 4-1 deficit after one.” Trail sat one point back of the Vipers and Merritt Centennials in the BCHL’s Interior division going into the game, so a Smokies win coupled with a Centennials loss to the Wenatchee Wild would have propelled Trail into the postseason. Neither scenario played out as Merritt beat the Wild 4-3 and the Snakes topped the Smokies. The Vipers and Cents ended up tied with 51 points, but Vernon advanced by virtue of one more win, 24, than Merritt’s 23.

“Both Merritt and Trail, we’ve been in a dogfight all year for that final playoff spot,” said Vernon coach Mark Ferner. “And fortunately for us we came up with the right effort at the right time.” Bennett Morrison opened the scoring with a screen shot from the point, one minute and 16 seconds after the puck drop. But the Vipers exploded for four straight with Jimmy Lambert tying it at 7:41, and Liam Finlay’s back-to-back goals giving the Snakes a 3-1 lead, before Odeen Tufto batted his own rebound by Trail goalie Bailey MacBurnie to make it 4-1 with under five to play in period one. The Vipers extended the lead to 6-1 on goals from Colton McCarthy and Nicholas Rasovic in the second period, in what was an unexpected but welcomed result for the Viper coach. “It really was (surprising), the way it started, down 1-0, and our guys they kind of woke up,” said Ferner. “We have a hockey team that when we play a certain way we can play well. You know they’re kids, they have to believe it, they have to trust it, and I think the most important thing is you have to have success when you do those things.” The Vipers suffered an 8-1 loss to the Wild the previous night to set up the potential one-game-takes-all match up on Saturday, and that drubbing helped keep this game in perspective for Ferner. “We just tried to forget about it,” he said. “Shoot you’re 57 games into the regular season and it all comes down to

one game. It’s unfortunate, Trail fought all year, and what we asked our boys too was just have some class. We wouldn’t want to be on the other side either, so you have to respect your opponent, you have to respect the game, and you know we had some really good efforts tonight.” Finlay completed the hat trick at 6:15 in the third period, and Trail forward Kale Howarth rounded out the scoring with 5:35 to play as a deflated hometown crowd exited the storied rink. Trail outshot Vernon 36-28 on the night but MacBurnie, who has been Trail’s MVP all year, allowed six goals on 20 shots, and was replaced by Linden Marshall after the second. “He is the reason we are in that game to begin with,” said Toneff. “He was a bit dehydrated at the end, so I’m not sure he was 100 per cent before the game, but there were tip-ins and point shots through traffic, I mean those aren’t easy to stop. I don’t think it was on Bailey, but he might wanted to have one or two of them back for sure.” Trail was five points out of a playoff spot two weeks ago when the team fired their head coach and GM. But the Smoke Eaters final playoff push was riveting as Trail knocked off Merritt, then beat the third-seed Salmon Arm Silverbacks in two thrilling one-goal games to draw within a point of the Vipers going into the final game of the season. “We kind of felt the buzz around CONTINUED ON A10

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks swept aside the Nelson Leafs on Saturday with a 1-0 shutout victory to win the best-of-seven Neil Murdoch division semi-final series 4-0. Fruitvale native Kyle Hope scored the only goal of the game at 18:18 of the second period, when he broke in on a 2-on-1, kept and wired the puck by Nelson goalie Josh Williams for the 1-0 lead and eventual victory. “I thought we played a pretty solid overall game,’ said Beaver Valley coach and GM Terry Jones. “I just thought the compete level was really great all the way through. Lots of examples of guys playing hard and doing a great job. We had to battle. It was a difficult series even though it was four straight.” Goaltender Tallon Kramer was outstanding, as he stopped 31 shots for the shutout and was named the Game Star for the Nitehawks. Kramer played back-to-back-toback games after fellow netminder Brett Clark suffered an injury in Game 1 of the series. Kramer’s stats speak volumes as the Grande Prairie native posted three wins in three starts with a 1.33 goals-againstaverage, while stopping 82 of 86 shots for a jaw-dropping .953 save percentage. “He had a great series,” said Jones. “Just all around really good play, he did a great job in terms of making the first save, playing the puck, all kinds of very positive things. With Brett being out for a little bit of time, he had a chance to run with the ball and did a

great job of it.” The Leafs outshot the Nitehawks 31-25 and were 0-4 on the power play, while BV went 0-for-2 in a relatively tame game compared to the intensity of the previous three match ups. In the Hawks’ Game 3 victory, Tyler Ghiradosi scored twice including the winner and added an assist to lead the Hawks to a 6-2 win. Jace Weegar, Allan Pruss, and Devin Nemes also had three-point nights for the Hawks, as Kramer took the win in net stopping 24 shots, while BV fired 31 at Leaf goalie Williams. After a scoreless but penalty riddled first period, Weegar opened the scoring for B.V. banging in a rebound at 14:09 of the middle frame to give the Hawks a 1-0 lead. The Leafs responded immediately when Levi Hulston scored on a wrap-around to make it 1-1 just 39 seconds later. But the Hawks went up for good when Nemes ripped a shot by the Leafs goalie at 6:53 to make it 2-1 to send it to the final frame, as the Leafs outshot the Hawks 8-7 in the period. “It was a way tighter game than the score showed,” said Jones. “Again we just stuck with the process, and did a real good job.” Ghiradosi extended the lead and scored what held up as the winning goal with 8:58 to play in regulation finishing a nice passing play with Nemes and Keillan Olson to give the Hawks a 3-1 cushion. The Hawks power play then worked its magic with quick and precise puck movement as Dylan CONTINUED ON A10

SPORTS Playoff buzz draws good crowd CONTINUED FROM A9 town, and I’ve never felt that buzz around here to be honest, playing and coaching,” said Toneff. “People were talking. I’ve never seen that many butts in the seats, it was awesome to see, and great to hear the chant. It just goes to show you that if the game matters, people will come.” For Vernon, the playoff berth comes at the end of a season that was, at the best of times, a struggle. Still, Snakes forward and Trail native Riley Brandt says the victory over his former team was as sweet as they come and is looking forward to the first-round match up against the Penticton Vees. “It’s unreal, no better feeling coming in here and getting the win,” said Brandt. “A lot of guys were nervous. Coming back to my home town I couldn’t even breathe on the way up here but it was great to get the victory.” Trail finished the season with a 23-33-2-0 record for 48 points and, while the team ended up in sixth place in the Interior division, it was the most wins and points since 2012-13 when they missed a playoff berth by one point. “We needed guys to step up a little more and kind of take the bull by the horns,” added Toneff. “A couple guys just didn’t quite bring as much as they had in prior games. But it wasn’t a lack of effort, it was maybe just a lack of bounces, we were pretty even on shots, we hit a couple posts, and they ended up scoring and we didn’t, and at the end of the day that’s how the cookie crumbles.” Round one of the BCHL playoffs begins on Friday with number 1 seed Penticton hosting Vernon, and the West Kelowna Warriors facing off against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks in the Interior division playoffs.-

Nitehawks poised for second round

CONTINUED FROM A9 Heppler buried a dish from Blake Sidoni for a 4-1 lead at 3:52. “I think the power-play goal we got late just changed the momentum, and forced them to expand and once they did that, we were able to take advantage of the situations that they gave us,” said Jones. The Leafs tallied their own power play goal two minutes later, but two empty-netters by Tylers Ghiradosi and Hartman clinched Game 3 for the Hawks. “When you are up two games to none, you aren’t grasping your stick quite as tight as the fellas who are down 2-0,” Leafs coach Mario DiBella told

the Nelson Star. “[Beaver Valley] were a poised team. They took advantage of some of their opportunities and their goaltender made some terrific saves at the start there that really kept the score for them on the winning side.” In the other series, the Grand Forks Border Bruins and Castlegar Rebels split a pair of overtime games to even their series at 2-2. The Bruins took Game 3, 3-2 on Friday, and the Rebels held on for a 6-5 win after blowing a 4-0 lead. They played Game 5 Monday night but the score was unavailable at press time. The Nitehawks will play either the Bruins or Rebels with the Game 1 date still to be determined.
