A plan to limit motorized access in the Pend D’Oreille valley is shelved for the time being.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources has withdrawn from its Access Management Area (AMA) proposal, citing lack of time to build support and address key concerns.

Over the next 18 months, the ministry plans on revisiting the draft plan that will likely be part of an update to the spring 2018 edition of the B.C. Hunting and Trapping Synopsis.

“I think it’s great the ministry has given the community more time for consultation,” said Area A director Ali Grieve. “I would like to see a subcommittee of all stakeholders that meet over the next few months to find a workable solution that provides both wildlife protection, and an opportunity for some responsible recreation activity.”

Grieve was vocal about the proposal that rested in her jurisdiction. She was a voice for the people, who overall were not satisfied with the level of public consultation and felt the plan was being pushed through.

“Above all, I support any initiative that protects and restores habitat,” she adds. “At the same time, we all value our ability to play in our back yards.”

She stresses that it’s incumbent on anyone who sets foot into the Pend D’Oreille valley to act responsibly and be good stewards by reporting inappropriate actions to Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) at 1-877-952-7277 or #7277 via cellphone.

The ministry still believes that the Pend D’Oreille valley requires a higher level of protection than is currently offered by existing legislation, and will continue to seek a permanent solution to the degradation of habitat in consultation with local users, stakeholders, and the public. In the interim, shortterm measures will be considered where necessary to protect and restore habitat.

AMA discussion started when an increase in off-road vehicle use, and illegal trail building was noted as damaging the area, compromising wildlife habitat areas and promoting the spread of invasive plants throughout the valley. The former proposal looked to maintain access and hunting opportunities on some main roads but restricted motorized access on secondary roads in hopes of reducing the impact on wildlife populations (ungulate populations and species in danger), habitat, and sensitive ecosystems.

Airport repaving funding fails to fly Trail Times

Repaving the Trail airport is a no-go this year after the city was denied federal funding through the Airport Capital Assistance Program (ACAP).

Airport manager Don Goulard received news from Transport Canada in late February that high demands for ACAP funding led to the Trail project not being approved this cycle, but will be considered again in 2017.

CONTINUED FROM A1 Cropley and Rob Merlino represented the YCDC board when they met with Trail council on Feb. 22, and gave an overview of the organization’s mandate as well as current programming, funding model and staffing needs.

“We try to create as diverse an amount of programs as we possibly can so we draw as wide variety of youth as we can,” she explained.

“What we do is try to find people in the community that can come and offer programming, and one of the things we are really happy with is promoting youth in the com-

planning stage.

“Council discussed the most recent iteration of the ATB during capital budget deliberations and directed staff to prepare a report on how the city could fund an ATB on a phased basis,” Jolly explained.

“We will be considering the pending report at an upcoming Airport Service Committee meeting to be scheduled in early April,” he added. “And the committee will then provide council with a recommen-

dation to consider.”

The ACAP program is available to any Canadian airport that is not federally owned or operated, meets certification requirements, and offers yearround regularly scheduled commercial passenger service.

Depending on the number of passengers accessing the service annually, each eligible airport can qualify for up to 100 per cent funding on projects that Transport Canada rates in priority.

Reaching out the key to connecting with youth

Coun. Kevin Jolly, chair of the airport committee, confirmed during Feb. 22 council that the city will resubmit next year. The city was requesting $4.2 million.

Two other big projects are underway at the airport, one nearing completion and the other still grounded.

She described the well attended yoga classes that at one point, had a roomful of newbies saying “namaste.”

“To have 11 boys doing yoga moves they had never done before, that was a major accomplishment,” Cropley chuckled. “She (the teacher) has a great engaging personality so again, that’s just really trying to get the kids to reach out and try new things they might not be comfortable with.”

And reaching out is a key into connecting with youth, Cropley pointed out.

“If we look at resiliency research, a lot of the new trauma-based stuff coming in, says it’s relationships that mean everything and for kids that can make a huge difference in the direction they take,” she explained.

“Good, solid healthy adult relationships - so we are trying to really encourage that by having the community come in and share their skills.”

Operational funds are hard to come by, and generally not included in granting opportunities, so the pair requested support from the city.

Trail council agreed to provide a $20,000 cash grant an-

The funding will offset operating expenses, and YCDC agreed to provide quarterly reports to the city.

Coun. Sandy Santori concluded by asking Cropley to consider talking with the YCDC board and youth to help out with Silver City Days.

“We are engaging a lot of groups to partake in the Homecoming Celebration,” Santori said. “It’s a good opportunity for youth to engage with adults and other youth in the community. And it gives the group another chance to give back one more time by helping out.”

spired confidence.”

The Liberals claim their budget will create 100,000 jobs and boost national economic growth, as measured by gross domestic product, by half a percentage point per year - a huge increase on a $2 trillion economy.

The promised sunny future comes with an immediate fiscal chill.

The Liberals are projecting a $29.4-billion deficit in 2016-17, followed by a $29-billion shortfall the following year and almost $23 billion in 2018-19. Over the next five years, Tuesday’s budget shows $113.2 billion in red ink, including a $14.3 billion shortfall for 2020-21 after the next scheduled federal election.

During last year’s campaign, the Liberals promised “modest deficits” of no more than $10 billion over the course of their mandate and to balance the books by 2019-20.

Times, it seems, have changed: The word “deficit” appeared nowhere in Morneau’s budget speech, nor did “spending.” “Investment,” on the other hand, registered 22 times.

“Canadians gave them an inch and they’re taking miles,”

Conservative interim Leader Rona Ambrose said in a release, while calling the Liberal budget a “nightmare scenario for taxpayers.”

The relatively slim, 269-page budget is packed with spending promises for all and sundry on every page.

The final Conservative budget of April 2015, by contrast, weighed in at 518 pages while ratcheting down spending in a government-wide effort to show an electionyear surplus.

“I think budget 2016 runs the risk of overreaching,” said Craig Alexander, vice-president of economic affairs at the C.D. Howe Institute.

“The reality is the amount of money they have to make an impact is relatively limited.”

It’s the central paradox of the first Liberal budget: while plunging the country back into deficit, Liberal spending is constrained by a worse-than-anticipated economy that forced the government to spread its election promises over a longer time frame.

Put another way, the federal deficit balloons by almost $25 billion in 2016-17, yet new budgetary measures are

costed at only $11.57 billion. New spending the following year is forecast at $14.9 billion.

“The challenge the government has faced is how do you actually deliver on as many of your election promises as you can, but with a binding fiscal constraint?” said Alexander.

New Democrats, who campaigned five months ago on a balanced budgetplatform, accused the big-spending Liberals of being cheap.

“Families across Canada are worried about their jobs and struggling to make ends meet, but today’s budget told them they would have to wait longer for help,” said NDP Leader Tom Mulcair.

Over the last three years, federal spending was held to an average 0.4 per cent increase per year, said Mary Webb, senior economist at Scotiabank. The next three years show average increases of 6.3 per cent.

“How do you close this gap here?” Webb wondered, short of tax increases or sharp cuts down the road.

The budget promises a slew of studies and commissions to develop more innovative eco-

nomic policy, presumably with future price tags on top of the many funding announcements in the current budget.

These include: - $8.4 billion over five years to help indigenous communities, including $2 billion on water and wastewater systems in First Nations and $2.6 billion over five years for primary and secondary education on reserves.

- $10 billion more over two years for a new Canada child benefit, absorbing and replacing both the Canada child tax benefit and the universal child care benefit.

- $6.6 billion over two years for infrastructure, less than the $10 billion promised in the Liberal election platform.

- $3.4 billion over five years to increase the guaranteed income supplement top-up benefit for single seniors, and restore the old age security eligibility age to 65 from 67.

- $2 billion over three years for a new strategic investment fund for infrastructure improvements at colleges and universities.

- $2 billion over two years for a low-carbon economy fund, beginning in 2017-18.

Liberals’ maiden ‘sunny ways’ budget showers spending, deficits to spur growth THE C ANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The new Liberal government delivered a sunny ways budgetTuesday brimming with optimism and billion-dollar spending increases spread across a wide spectrum of society.

But the bold effort to spur economic growth after almost a decade of fiscal restraint will add more than $100 billion to the federal debt over the next five years as Finance Minister Bill Morneau plunges Ottawa back into the red.

And like March sunshine in the frozen national capital, there’s concern that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s bright budget may not heat up the economy quite as much as the Liberals promised it would.

“We act for the years and decades to come,” Morneau said in his maidenbudget speech in the House of Commons.

“We act for our children and our children’s children.”

There’s billions in new spending on infrastructure, Aboriginal Peoples, and transfers to middle and lower income Canadians in a budget blueprint framed by Morneau in terms of Canada’s great post-war expansion of the last century.

“Confidence inspired investment,” Morneau said of those highgrowth, post-war decades. “Investment in-

Trudeau applies lipstick on the Senate pig

T

he precise origins of the “lipstick on a pig” aphorism are unclear. Some say it arose first in a January 1980 edition of the much-read Quad-City Herald, in Brewster, Washington (pop., 2,730), where one wag observed therein that “you can clean up a pig, put a ribbon on it’s [sic] tail, spray it with perfume, but it is still a pig.” Indeed, its pigginess is inviolate. No argument here.

Others insist that the actual phrase came shortly after, when The Washington Post famously quoted a San Francisco KNBR-AM radio host who – when commenting on a plan to fix up Candlestick Park for the Giants – decreed: “That would be like putting lipstick on a pig.”

A political cliché was born!

After that, political folks would end up saying it all the time. Barack Obama and John McCain both said it about each other, in 2008 presidential campaign. At least five political books were written with “lipstick on a pig” in the title.

And, most ominously, Dick Cheney declared that it was his “favourite line.” (That’s almost as bad as being a Liberal, and enthusiastically welcoming warmonger Henry Kissinger to a state dinner for you, and . . . oh, never mind.)

But we don’t care. WE DON’T CARE. If the Senate of Canada were stuffed to its ermine walls with cloned replicas of Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Plato, Nelson Mandela, Mozart, Kahlil Gibran, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Socrates, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks – and, on civic holidays, apparitions of the Buddha, Moses, Mohamed and Christ – it would still be this: a body of unelected persons, however eminent, wielding real power.

It would therefore be illegitimate.

It would be illicit. In a supposedly modern democracy, it would be unlawful, even.

Most of us, out here in the real world, don’t have expense allowances and living allowances and “travel points.” We aren’t guaranteed a job until age 75. We therefore don’t give a sweet damn about how impressive are the CVs of those who won the Mother of All Lotteries on Friday.

We don’t give a sh*t, actually.

You can put lipstick on a pig, Prime Minister. But it is still – then, now and forever more – a pig.

ageing, ramshackle dictatorship would last much longer either.

Wrong again. But when Fidel Castro retired after 42 years and handed power to his brother Raul in 2008, Western embassies in Havana (minus the United States, of course) arranged for various “experts” from their countries to visit Cuba and explain how things were done in a real democracy – which they fully expected that Cuba would shortly become.

I was asked to go along as an alleged expert in media and civil-military affairs, to tell Cuban journalists and military officers how they should operate in a democracy. It was a well-meant but ridiculous initiative, but I went anyway because it gave me unprecedented access at a very interesting time.

And I came back convinced once again that a democratic transformation was really imminent, because most of those I was speaking to expected it themselves. Few of them, even in the armed forces, feared for their jobs, and most of them thought that change would be for the better.

But fast forward another eight years, and very little has changed. Raul Castro says he will retire in 2018 (when he will be only 86), but a new generation of Communist leaders is already being promoted into key positions.

In fact, I now think that the regime will probably survive until and unless the US Congress finally ends the embargo and exposes Cuba to the full force of international capitalism. Of course, I have been wrong in the past.

Saints roll to fourth straight BCIHL title

BY BOB HALL Times Contributor

The Selkirk College Saints captured their fourth straight British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) championship on Saturday night with a 2-1 victory over the Trinity Western University Spartans before a packed house at the Castlegar and District Recreation Complex.

More than 800 hockey fans packed the Castlegar arena to watch the Saints clinch the bestof-three final series and put the wraps on a magical season.

“It’s a pretty special feeling to win in front of a crowd like this,” said Saints’ forward and Trail native Ryan Edwards who scored the game winning goal midway through the third period, and earned his second Player of the Week nod from the BCIHL, for tallying five points and earning first star in both games of the BCIHL final.

Needing a win to stay alive, the Spartans came out strong in the first period. BCIHL Goaltender of the Year James Prigione made several key saves to keep the game tied at zeroes after 20 minutes. The third-year goaltender continued his strong play early in the second period at which point the Spartans had the edge in shots.

Late in the second period,

Edwards was hooked on a breakaway by Jeremy McIntosh. On the ensuing powerplay, Alex Milligan buried a Jamie Vlanich pass to give the Saints a 1-0 lead and bring the raucous crowd to its feet.

The Saints threw 20 shots at Spartans’ goaltender Silas Matthys in the middle period, but only came away with a 1-0 lead after 40 minutes.

Five minutes into the third period, TWU forward Dirk de Waal worked his way out of the corner and beat Prigione high over the blocker side to tie the game. The Spartans kept the pressure on, but Prigione and the Saints defence were up to the task.

Midway through the final

period, the Saints’ scoring line of Edwards, Dallas Calvin and Ryon Sookro came through when it mattered most. Calvin fed Sookro, who got a pass off to Edwards and the team’s leading scorer in the post-season buried the opportunity.

“That has to be right up there as far as goals,” said Edwards, who has notched plenty in his career. “It’s a good feeling to score a goal like that in a game like this.”

The Spartans didn’t quit and came hard in the final minutes, but the Saints held on for their fourth straight provincial championship.

The Saints set up Saturday’s championship victory with a dominant 5-1 win in the series opener on Friday night. Edwards had four assists, Calvin notched a pair of goals with Ashton McLeod, Sookro and Vlanich providing the rest of the offence.

The Saints had 43 shots on the TWU net in what turned out to be a romp for the home side.

The Saints were led offensively in the playoffs by four players who grew up playing minor hockey in the West Kootenay.

Trail natives Edwards, Calvin, and Vlanich and Sookro from the Slocan Valley, all took their first strides in minor hockey programs in the Trail and Nelson areas.

Finishing in the final four is a great accomplishment in any league, however, the Beaver Valley Nitehawks players didn’t find much solace in dropping the KIJHL’s best-of-seven Kootenay Conference final series in five games to the Kimberley Dynamiters on Monday.

For the second year in a row, the Nitehawks fell to the Dynamiters in Game 5 of the Conference final following a 3-1 loss in Kimberley.

“Losing is tough, but it’s made easier when you lose to a real good hockey team,” Hawks coach and GM Terry Jones told Cranbrook Townsman reporter Taylor Rocca following Game 5. “These guys (Kimberley) are determined to go a long ways. I wish them well.”

The Nitehawks will look back to a pair of leads they let slip away in the final minutes that radically changed the landscape of the unfolding series.

“We just couldn’t finish Games 2 and 3, and it was a lack of good defensive play with break downs that just can’t happen, and good teams don’t make those breakdowns, good teams capitalize on those breakdowns,” said Jones. “We broke down against a good team when the pressure was on and that’s unfortunate.”

Jason Richter notched the game- and series-clinching marker early in the third period on the power play, redirecting a Jordan Busch point shot through the five-hole to give the Dynamiters a 2-1 lead 2:32 into the final frame.

“It’s their first powerplay goal of the series and it turns out to be the series winner.” Jones said. “It’s ironic, when we did such a great job on all our kills, that that one loses it for us.”

Until Richter’s game winner, the Nitehawks were perfect on the penalty kill and went an incredible 19-for-20.

The Dynamiters jumped out to a 1-0 first period lead. After a clean face-off win to the glove side of Hawks goalie Tallon Kramer, the puck came to Tyler Van Steinburg, who wasted no time sending a quick wrist shot from the point and past Kramer’s glove 7:18 into

the period.

Allan Pruss tied it 1-1 on a power play 5:40 into the second period. Brouwer made the initial save, but the frozen rubber found a hole and slowly trickled up and over the Nitros netminder before rolling over the goal line to even the score after 40 minutes.

“I thought we had a great second and not only did we tie it up, we had a lot of great opportunities to get that lead,” said Jones. “We knew they were going to have a push going into the third.”

After Richter put the Nitros up, Franco CONTINUED ON A8

Hawks wind up successful season

Red Racer earns ski-cross silver CHELSEA NOVAK Rossland News

Red Mountain Racer September Stefani brought home two silver medals from the final competition of the Matrix Western Ski Cross Series last week in Fernie.

Stefani has been a Red Mountain Racer since 2010, but this was her first year competing in all three of the Western Ski Cross competitions, and the 16 year old wrapped up her season by winning silver in both Open Women ski cross events.

“It was really fun because that was the first time I actually went to all three ski crosses,” she said. “I usually just go to one, and it was just nice to see people over and over again that I’d met at the first one, and saw at the second one, and really got to know

them at the third, which was great.”

Racing at all three competitions was worth it, as Stefani performed well at each. She also brought home two silver medals from the first competition at Big White in January, and placed third in both of her events at Lake Louise in February. She finished the series with the highest number of points in her category.

“It got harder each time,” she said.

“The first one, Big White, it was just really introductory ski cross for people who haven’t done it before.

In Lake Louise, it offered some new challenges, bigger features, and in Fernie, it was much bigger features and just testing different skills for each course.”

Stefani hopes to compete in all three competitions again next year.

Colapaolo added an insurance marker with 7:51 remaining when he burst past the Nitehawks defenceman and slid the puck low past Kramer for a 3-1 lead.

“Any time you beat Beaver Valley, you’ve accomplished something special,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters. “I have a lot of respect for their coaching staff. Jonesy has been there a long time and they’ve got a winning tradition… A winning tradition brings good players. We beat a good team.”

The Nitehawks will add another KIJHL Neil Murdoch division banner to the rafters, and while the team came up short in its run for the league title, Jones is proud of what the Hawks accomplished in the 2015-16 season.

“We’ve had guys just come miles this year and we’re a development team and we do have a successful season every year it seems like. For us, anything short of getting a league title is disappointing but that’s what we shoot for, it’s what we strive for, we’ve done it seven times and we work hard to do it.

“As a coaching staff I’m proud of my guys for how hard they work and proud of my players for what they contribute and their commitment but it’s tough to lose and tough to digest … I have such great character kids and that makes losing tough.”

The Dynamiters will face the 100-Mile House Wranglers for the KIJHL championship after 100-MH defeated the Summerland Steam 3-1 on Monday to advance to the final. The KIJHL final starts Saturday in Kimberley.

“For both the local players and the out of town guys, we all feel the community support,” Calvin said after Saturday’s win when asked about the leadership of local players. “It’s great to win a championship with a dressing room of guys who come from all different backgrounds.”

Brent Heaven took over as the Saints’ head

coach this past summer.

After Saturday’s game, the bench boss said it took a group effort to make more hockey history at the Castlegar arena.

“We had some ups and downs this year, but overall from start to finish I think we showed people that we deserved the championship this year,” said Heaven. “It’s a long season and we accomplished what we

set out to do. I couldn’t be prouder of the boys and obviously the staff that helped make it happen. This doesn’t happen without everybody working together.

“It’s a great accomplishment. Four in a row doesn’t happen very often and we are very honoured to be part of an exclusive group. We’re going to enjoy this and then get ready for a fifth.”

Dear Annie: This evening, I went to the local YMCA to swim. When I was through, I showered, as I always do, since I go back to work afterward. Near the end of the shower, I removed my swimsuit and found a boy of about 8 looking through the curtain at me. I yelled at him and he stopped, but a few seconds later, a woman (I think it was his grandmother) looked in, too. I told her I’d like just a few more minutes, and I’ll admit, my tone wasn’t that friendly.

I got out of the shower and locker room as fast as I could.

Annie, that boy was too old to be in the women’s locker room. My question is, was I out of line for showering in the nude in a public locker room? This particular shower had four nozzles, so I assume other people would feel free to share the space, even if the curtain was closed. But both the boy and the older woman were not showering.

They were just peeking in. That strikes me as rude.

This has never come up before,
