Golden City opted out of regional response in 2007 due to finances BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

A new, consolidated emergency management plan vision is sweeping the regional district— everywhere, that is, except in Rossland. The Golden City remains an island amidst a groundswell of support for the new overarching plan to be delivered to every community and area bounded by the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB). All RDKB municipal councils and regional district directors have signed onto the new agreement to aid local jurisdictions in determining “appropriate prevention response recovery” in the case of an emergency or disaster. Rossland city council opted out of the regional service in 2007, not because the city is immune to disaster, but because of finances, said the city’s mayor, Greg Granstrom. “We felt that perhaps we could achieve the same goals by having it in-house rather than through the regional district,” he said. “Cost was a consideration (in opting out) for sure. Hopefully we don’t need it but we have some expertise here.” Although the costs of the service to the city weren’t clear seven years later, it was enough for the council of the day to warrant its cancellation, said Granstrom. The coordinator for emergency management services in Rossland (and also the city’s deputy chief administrative officer), Tracey Butler, said the regional service has never been called upon in the 17 years she has been employed by the city. The only emergency incidents the city has had to contend with in that time have been chemical spills from Teck Trail Operations trucks, she said, and Teck has hazmat people managing those situations when they happen in Rossland. “And I don’t think we will get a tornado ... and any flooding goes down to Trail,” she said. “And, of course, we would be there to help them if it did.” All City of Rossland staff is trained through the Justice Institute in emergency management, Butler explained, and are all well equipped and informed, with emergency management equipment stored in City Hall. “If something happens it is a pretty quick change over to be up and operating as an emergency management centre,” she said. “Of course, our biggest fear would be wildfires, and that would be why we have spent a lot of time doing the wildfire interface program.” See PLAN, Page 3

Alison Davis looks for new optics at Brenda Perry’s Trail Optical shop in downtown Trail on Wednesday.

Two new downtown locations for Trail’s library have been identified. The two currently available options include the former Fields and the former Liquidation World stores, according to the recently released Trail and District Public Library Relocation Study — Phase I. According to the study, preliminary discussions with city council indicate that both options would be supported and that a “library in either location would be highly visible and contribute to revitalization of the downtown core.” In addition, both locations have enough space to accommodate a new, expanded library program. However, both require further review to better define costs. The former Liquidation World is larger (12,500 square feet) than Fields (10,500 sq. ft.). Both facilities have been vacant for some time and are both available for sale. But lease or purchase negotiations have not been undertaken as part of the study. “Proper review including potential costs associated with structural upgrades should be undertaken before identifying a preferred site,” the study by David Nairne and Associates advised. The next phase of work will include structural assessment to determine the potential for required structural upgrades to each facility. Council is also now expected to identify a potential project budget within the next few weeks, as well as provide direction to the consultant on a preferred building.

Airplane back in flight but cause still under investigation BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

A plane that caused a commotion at the Trail Regional Airport in November is back in flight with a new engine. Spencer Smith, vice president of commercial services for Pacific Coastal Airlines, said the cause of the Nov. 14 incident at the airport remains under investigation but the plane in question is back in service. That night, passengers were in the middle of deplaning, when a person turned around and saw what he thought was fire and alerted the staff.

The flight crew immediately responded and deployed the fire suppression system. Although the airline denied that there was a fire, the plane remained grounded at the airport until the end of November. Smith explained that the airplane was parked because internal damage was found within the engine. The plane, a 30 seat Saab 640A, had its engine replaced before being ferried back to Vancouver. “We flew it back without passengers to our maintenance facility in Vancouver,

and it is now back in air,” explained Smith. Smith said that the engine is in the possession of the manufacturer and the cause of the internal damage is still under investigation. Pacific Coastal has undergone a complex process to review the event, said Smith. “I can assure you that we have had many meetings.” The airline has a complex safety management system (SMS) that is mandated by its regulatory body at Transport Canada, he said However, the public is not privy to the information discussed during the review

of the SMS. “In relation to the specifics, our process is done internally and is not something we can share with the public,” said Smith. The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) worked together with Pacific Coastal to ensure continuity of both SMS plans in response for any commercial aircraft event, said Bryan Teasdale, airport manager for the RDKB. “So our roles and responsibilities of our respective staff are clearly identified during or for an event,” he added.

If you can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen. And it was in the kitchen where heat led firefighters to a fire Tuesday night just before 2 a.m. in an apartment building at 610 Spokane St. Two firefighters responded from company four in Trail, along with fire chief Terry Martin. “It turned out to be a fire on top of the stove from an element that had been left unattended,” said Martin. However, the fire was already out when firefighters arrived. The occupants of the apartment were able to get a fire extinguisher and knock the flames down when they discovered the blaze. No one called 911 but the building was monitored by an agency that, once the alarm system went off, notified regional district fire dispatch. That procedure is required when an independent agency is monitoring a building, said Martin. As a result, the occupants were somewhat surprised when they found firefighters at their door, and in the resultant fluster did not put the kettle on to welcome them in. “For people who live in apartment buildings, don’t be afraid to call 911 in the event of a fire alarm,” Martin said. “It doesn’t cost anything for us to come, and it’s better to be safe than sorry.” The apartment was smoke filled and firefighters ventilated the rooms by opening a nearby exit door and let the air move the smoke out of the apartment.

Reliability and hitting that magic milestone

H

ow reliable is your vehicle? Do you think twice about taking them on a long trip? One of my vehicles has 180,000 kilometres and the other has 214,000 kilometres. The one with 180 000 I feel is still reliable and the one with 214,000 I think twice about. Is my trust or lack of trust reasonable? To me 200,000 km is some kind of magic milestone where the reliability of my vehicle precipitously drops. This is not a scientifically proven fact, it is just my gut feeling. It might come from the fact that almost all the broken cars in my shop have more than that magic 200 000 reporting on their odometers. I started to do some research on this topic and I did not get very far. Talk reliable and automobiles in google speak and Toyota and Honda vehicles bubble to the top of everybody’s list.

What became very obvious early in my automotive career is the owner has a large effect on a vehicle’s overall reliability. Nothing beats first hand knowledge based maintenance and careful driving for increased reliability and low repair costs. Your maintenance provider many times will know your vehicle’s weaknesses. Careful inspections and past experience will improve the reliability of your vehicles. Knowing quality replacement parts and repair procedures that solve certain issues with specific vehicles can greatly reduce incidence of repair or even prevent catastrophic failure. Do not fear that 200,000 marker. The sky’s the limit with good maintenance and care. Trail’s Ron Nutini is a licensed automotive technician and graduate of mechanical engineering from UBC.

Plan sets steps for response

FROM PAGE 1 Through Fireline Services the city has almost completed fuel management—removing combustible fuels from the forest—around the entire perimeter of the city. The RDKB coordinator of emergency management services, Dan Derby, said there are exclusive benefits from membership in the new emergency management plan. Even so, Rossland isn’t entirely on its own, he said. “We would work with city staff in response (to an emergency),” he said. “We just can’t extend services when someone is not participating. We would have to get direction from the board of directors and the CAO before we could assist.” The new 163-page plan contains a set of guidelines for how the regional district would report and respond to an actual emergency. There are 11 key hazard plans (risks) which focus on critical infrastructure, dam failure, earthquakes, epidemic and pandemic of human and animal, explosions or emissions, wildfires, floods, hazardous material spills or leaks, severe weather events and utility failures. Evacuation planning, recovery planning, response and recovery expenses—how an event is wrapped up financially and how costs and reimbursement of costs are accounted for—is Sheri Regnier photo also detailed in the plan.

Provincial Langley

Little support for year-round schooling By Monique Tamminga Langley Times

B.C.’s temperamental weather dominated the concerns parents and students had about changing Langley School District to yearround schooling. “They are only kids once, let them be kids,” said one parent who spoke against the district’s suggestion to move to year-long schooling. Hundreds of parents, many with children in tow, showed up to the district’s school calendar open house, held at the school board office on Tuesday. “Don’t take away my camping,” said another parent. If school holidays were to fall in winter and in “rainy” spring, many parents worry that would put kids in front of a computer or TV screen for the entire vacation, instead of enjoying outdoor activities. One parent suggested that if the district is looking at re-arranging

the school calendar, why not factor in making the first two weeks of September part of the holidays? The three possibilities the district is looking at are: to keep the current calendar as it is, with the already approved two-week spring break; to bring in year-round schooling, which means instead of eight weeks in the summer, there would be vacation periods throughout the year; the final option is a balanced calendar with a three-week spring break and a three-week winter break and the entire month of August off. So far, only Douglas Park Community School has a varied calendar with an extended school year into July. It’s proving to be very popular and has helped improve children’s learning because of the continuum of education, said Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman. The province has given the district until March to decide on any changes to the calendar.

Richmond grapples with geese issue By Martin van den Hemel Richmond Review

A new report on how Richmond intends to manage snow geese offers nothing new to those hoping to rid parks and playing fields of the grasseating fowl. Presented Tuesday at city council’s parks and recrea-

tion committee meeting, the Urban Wildlife Management Framework stops well short of calling for a cull. Its new plan of attack, for 2013 to 2015, includes offering education programs, supporting winter cover crops and continuing hazing with dogs, lasers and “scare kites” in pub-

lic places. Staff have also pledged to collaborate with a Lower Mainland committee to develop a regional management plan for the snow geese and work with Vancouver Airport Authority on alternative management techniques—such as the use of raptors.

Campbell River

City draws on reserve to keep taxes down By Kirsten Douglas Campbell River Mirror

Property taxes are going up 3.91 per cent for residential taxpayers in 2013. The increase works out to about $55.43 more per year, based on the average Campbell River home assessed at $268,000. There will be no increase to any other tax classes. Though the rate hike is a far cry from last year’s 13.6 per cent increase, some members of council were unhappy with the 2013 budget. Mayor Walter Jakeway said not enough was done to give taxpayers a break. “This is just terrible, it’s awful,” he said. “We haven’t cut costs, this is the year to

cut. Nothing’s gotten better, the crunch isn’t over.” Jakeway said council’s mistake was not cutting staff at city hall when council was deliberating its base budget in December. He said he would like to see $3.5 million cut from staffing and put towards badly needed infrastructure projects like water and sewer which will require the city to borrow funding and force the city into debt. Coun. Claire Moglove was concerned about council’s heavy draw on reserves. “Where I find it difficult, is with this budget what we are doing, in my opinion, is simply postponing a tax increase to future councils, specifically for infrastructure and facilities,

and we’ll be taking money out of reserves and not putting anything in and if we are putting something in, it’s not nearly enough.” Moglove said the practise is unsustainable and will only hurt more in the long run. “Think about your house,” she said. “You spend more than $100 a year to maintain your house and if you don’t maintain your house costs go up and up. “ Coun. Andy Adams agreed that council is burdening future councils. “Depending on reserves is just simply unsustainable and staff has been doing a magic act to keep things together but we are going to have to pay the piper,” Adams said.

B.C. chef places ninth in world event THE CANADIAN PRESS LYON, France - Canadian chef Alex Chen earned a ninth-place finish at the prestigious Bocuse d’Or cooking competition, an event widely heralded as the culinary Olympics. The two-day event concluded Wednesday in the east-central French city of Lyon with the home country being awarded the top prize. Thibaut Ruggeri of France received the gold Bocuse and a cash prize of 20,000 euros (around C$27,000). Jeppe Foldager of Denmark nabbed the silver and a cash prize of 15,000 euros (around $20,000), while Noriyuki Hamada of Japan was awarded the bronze Bocuse and 10,000 euros (around $13,000). The chefs had 5 1/2 hours to cook two dishes - European turbot and French blue lobster as well as Irish beef tenderloin, with the option to include chuck steak, ox cheek and oxtail. They also had to come up with three garnishes, including one representing their home country. The British Columbia-based Chen was among the chefs from 24 countries who faced off in the biennial contest. The 35-year-old was lured back to Canada in December 2011 from Los Angeles, where he worked as executive chef at the highprofile Beverly Hills Hotel after stints at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto and Chicago. During 2012, fundraisers held by Moxie’s Grill and Bar - Chen’s sponsor - in Calgary, Toronto and his hometown of Vancouver helped Chen secure money for the equipment and supplies he took to France, including a $15,000 platter designed for him and on which his fish creation was presented. Chen expressed gratitude to his sponsor, friends and fans for helping fulfil his dream of competing for Canada in the culinary contest. “This has been an incredible journey, and it was truly a privilege to represent Canada at the Bocuse d’Or,” Chen said in a release. “The competition is unbelievably fierce, and the opportunity to compete at this level is something I will never forget.” Preparing for the contest consumed Chen’s life since he beat five chefs in a national contest in Toronto in April 2010, putting him on a track to fulfil his dream of representing Canada at the Bocuse d’Or, which has been held every two years since 1987 and was named after Lyonnais chef Paul Bocuse. The event was founded by Bocuse and Albert Romain, organizer of the International Food Trade Exhibition, who sought to create a contest to bring the greatest chefs out from behind closed doors and onto the world stage. Canadian Robert Sulatycky earned the best-ever finish for a North American chef in the Bocuse d’Or, placing fourth in 1999. He mentored Chen during preparation for the contest.

t’s an ambitious plan that rivals the landing of the Mars Rover. It promises to boldly go where no one has gone before. Of course, I’m talking about NDP House Leader Nathan Cullen’s call for more civility in the House of Commons this week. Now the call for more civility among the people who are representing us is a tired old refrain. And it’s one that all politicians pound their desks in agreement with when it’s first mentioned – especially at this time of year. After a six-week break to enjoy Christmas and New Year’s, there’s no doubt the mood will be lighter, more jovial and cordial as they returned to work on Monday. I can only imagine how happy and relaxed I’d be if I had six weeks off with pay over the holidays. Now where Cullen’s proposal for civility differs from the usual “give-peacea-chance” mantra used by every politician since confederation is that he’s offering up a series of penalties for the breaching that civility. Most politicians will simply put that idea on the backburner just like pension reform, government transparency and legitimate expense accounting.

He suggests suspension and, heaven forbid, loss of pay, for those that continue the tired tradition of interrupting, insulting and insinuating that goes on just about every day on Parliament Hill. “There is no workplace in this country that would accept that kind of behaviour,” Cullen told reporters this week. “So why do we accept it in the House of Commons?” Probably because the House isn’t like any real workplace in Canada. You can sleep at your desk, shout down suggestions, ignore questions, lie and even threaten a member of the other party like Conservative House Leader Peter Van Loan did to Cullen just before Christmas. So to compare the House of Commons to a “real” workplace is an insult to everyone that works for a living in this country. However, the idea of penalties for un-civil behaviour is an interesting one. Of course, just like anything in Parliament, it would take a committee to decide what penalties would be imposed and who gets them. I can see the civility theme getting tossed out the window at the first meeting of that probably-partisan committee. It’s too bad that it has

come to this, especially when politicians are rallying against bullying in schools yet they can’t even control the decorum in their own workplace. If only it was as easy as saying “more civility is needed,” to solve the problem. Just imagine how that power could be used for good in our area. No more disputes over sewers and such. Politicians would only need one or two meetings to come up with a reasonable solution to some of these issues. Perhaps the penalty for un-civil behaviour in that surrounding it to get some hands on experience in dealing with the amount of sewage each community produces. Imagine our local hockey teams working together for a common goal. No rivalry or animosity but

shared ideas and common solutions. The penalty for un-civil behaviour in hockey (is that an oxymoron of some sort) would be similar to penalties imposed on soccer teams, which are forced to play their games in an empty stadium. If nobody is watching, is there really anything to fight about? It seems the Silver City Days committee and the city’s liaison are often at odds and bordering on uncivil behaviour. The penalty would be for the parties involved to take a horde of sugar-charged kids to the midway and shell out the piles of cash needed to go on every ride. I’m hopeful that even the slightest hint of civility from our national leaders will have a ripple effect throughout the country. It can be done and has been done locally. It came to the forefront during the recent meeting regarding the future of Rossland schools earlier this month. There was a civil discourse for the most part, some interesting back-andforth between trustees and parents and a general feeling that everyone had an opportunity to speak without being drowned out by an opposing view. Does that mean the same can be done on a much

larger scale on Parliament Hill? Those people have let us down before with promises of change for the better. A similar motion was brought up just a couple of years ago but, as always, somehow it falls off the radar for more partisan politicking. A Canadian Press story explained the rules of Parliament already allow the House Speaker to penalize un-civil behaviours. Yet despite all the antics we’ve seen on Parliament Hill from sleeping to fingerjabbing nobody has been expelled in the last decade. Former House Speaker Peter Milliken told CP it doesn’t work “That isn’t much of a punishment. Most members are glad to take off.” Remember this is a place where an MP can change documents and deny it and still walk away with a pat on the back and a juicy pension. Where a cabinet minister can say that Canadians are on the side of child pornographers if they don’t agree with him. With those types of attitudes I won’t hold my breath for any lessons in common sense or civility from the house on the hill. Guy Bertrand is the managing editor of the Trail Times.

level is to make a political deal. This is not impossible in Mali, because the Islamist fanatics actually hijacked the revolution from their former allies, the Tuareg separatists. Most of the people in the north are Tuaregs, desertdwelling people of Berber stock and nomadic heritage who are ethnically, culturally and linguistically distinct from the black African majority in southern Mali. Many of them support the separatist movement that wanted to create an independent Tuareg state in northern Mali, but few actually share the extreme religious views of the Islamist militants. The two groups made an alliance to drive the Malian army out of the north, but the Islamists then turned on their allies and seized absolute power for themselves. Their harsh rule was resented by most people, however, and so it should be possible to isolate the Islamists if the Malian government is willing to make a deal that gets the Tuareg separatists on its side. They won’t get independence, but they would probably settle for a large degree of autonomy for the north. It will be hard to get a new Malian government that is elected almost entirely by the votes of southerners (90 per cent of the population lives in the south) to make that concession, but the alternative is a long, draining guerilla war in the north. Was the French military intervention in Mali necessary? Yes, in the view of the United Nations, the African Union, and most Malians. Was it a success? That remains to be seen.

Old can become new again

An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press The charges Brandon police have laid against a 12-year-old girl underscore the critical and difficult role of parents in educating youth about the harm of bullying and the risk taken when putting thought to virtual paper. The adolescent’s threat -- police say two girls were threatened with harm -- was posted on a social media site, physical evidence and grounds for the charge of uttering threats. Long gone are the days when taunts of punching someone’s lights out in the playground elicited a stern “break it up”

from a teacher. Bullying is recognized for the lasting harm it can do. Electronic devices that are standard tools of youth -- cellphones, iPods, netbooks -- have curbed the ability of parents to monitor the social interaction of children. The vast reach of social networking on sites such as Facebook and Twitter means messages, pictures and videos are broadcast at lightning speed and cannot be erased. Posters become publishers weighted with legal responsibility, even at tender ages. Schools have lessons on the appropriate use of classroom technology, but few children

rely on desktop or laptop computers to “chat.” Cellphones allow messaging 24/7. Parents have greater cause to educate their kids on appropriate social interaction and the dangers of posting what might seem an innocent comment or picture about themselves or others. Age-old lessons of respect and treating others as you would want to be treated may seem antiquated but, in fact, are more relevant today. Reinforcing the messages of basic civility that youth learned as toddlers is critical, particularly as technology opens new fronts in communication.

Tire tied at top

BY TIMES STAFF OK Tire took advantage of a prolonged slump in the real-estate market, as it claimed a share of first place in Trail Commercial Hockey League action last week. Thanks to three straight Re/Max losses, the Tire climbed to the top of the TCHL standings with a 5-1 victory over Arlington Sunday. The Tire sits tied at 34 points with the realtors, but enjoys a game in hand as they enter into the final month of play in the TCHL. Arlington tied the Tire 4-4 on Thursday but were unable to keep them in tow on Sunday.

Shaun Venturini netted his 33rd goal of the season and the winner at 13:21 of the first period, finishing a nice setup from Shane Drake and Darrin Williams to make it 2-0. The Tire owned the Arlington in the opening frame jumping out to a 4-0 lead. Darrin Williams started the scoring with assists from Drake and Darrin Kissock, before Venturini added his marker. Jeff Sidey followed that up with a nice effort, firing home a Peter Sheets pass by goalie Eric Volpatti. Troy Palmer completed the scoring in the first, finishing a fine passing play from Kissock and Kyle

A pair of wins on the weekend and some great play garnered two Trail Smoke Eaters consideration for the BCHL Player of the Week selection. Forward Luke Sandler and defenceman Braden Pears received honourable mention for their performances in winning two of three games on the weekend. Sandler scored four times including the game winner in Nanaimo on Friday, while Pears counted two goals including the game clincher against Langley Sunday. “It feels really good, it’s a big honour, and hey I was really happy with it,” said Pears, who was given honourable mention for the second time this season. “I don’t know if I’ll ever get it, but maybe one day.” The smooth-skating Pears says more ice time and confidence had helped his offensive output, making him the Smokies leading defenceman in points with six goals and 20 assists, by far his best production in three years in the league. “Everyone is working together really well and helpBRADEN ing me get better, individually PEARS too, so it’s really good,” said Pears. Sandler meanwhile counted his 20th goal of the season, second most on the Smokies, in what was his first honourable mention despite some big games for the orange and black. “I was pretty happy, it was nice to finally get one,” said Sandler. Pears and Sandler go through a ritual of tapping their sticks together, which seems to generate some tangible offensive power. “We get our sticks together and we start getting points, it’s just been working – it’s nice,” said Sandler. The Chicago native’s strengh and play-making ability have certainly helped the team offensively this season, giving the team depth and a measure of consistency through the lineup. “I try to do whatever I can to help the team win,” said Sandler. “I feel like if I can contribute scoring goals, whatever I can do, I just got to do it every night.” Merrit’s Sylvan Harper won Player of the Week for three multipoint games last week. The Smokies next game goes Tuesday against Salmon Arm at 7:30 p.m. at the Cominco Arena.

Boutin to take a commanding lead. The Big A marked its only goal at 18:09 of the second period when Jeremy Robinson beat the Tire’s top rubber-stopper Rocky Dickson, but Drake delivered the dagger at 5:51 of the middle frame to complete a three-point night. Williams also had a goal and two assists, while topscoring Tire defenceman Kissock picked up a pair of helpers. In other action Sunday, an emerging Firebird squad was coming off an 8-3 upset win over Re/Max on Thursday, but Allstar Maintenance buried the Bird with a 6-2 drubbing. The insuperable D-man Brady

Glover took a pass from Scott Davis and blasted the winning goal home at 15:31 of the second period, to launch Allstar to a 3-1 lead. Glover tops his team for points by a defenceman and is third in league scoring for defencemen with seven goals and 12 assists. Firebird got on the board first when defenceman Albert Benson’s shot beat Allstar goalie Tim Wiley. However, after a Firebird penalty, the unheralded but always solid Allstar pointman Kris Koshey would net his first of the campaign to tie it at one on the power play. See FIREBIRD, Page 10

son, thanks in part to Adam Todd making timely saves and Luke Sandler scoring timely goals including the short-handed tally of the year in the third period. Even in Saturday’s 5-4 loss to the Bulldogs, this club showed moxie, nearly erasing a 4-1 deficit and manifesting a 2-on-1 opportunity in the dying seconds despite Alberni Valley having a two-man advantage and an offensive-zone faceoff. Sunday’s capper in Langley might be the statement game goaltender Lyndon Stanwood needed. With Todd getting most of the action since the beginning of the New Year, it fell to Stanwood to shine at Langley Events Centre. And shine he did, making 45 stops including a penaltyshot robbery on BCHL scoring leader Mario Puskarich with 7:06 left in the third period to help the Smokies fashion a 4-3 comefrom-behind win. It was the kind of performance that inspires an entire roster, and one that the hundred or so Trail fans in attendance on the road Sunday surely appreciated. Seven of the Smokies’ final nine games are at the Cominco Arena, a statistic that bodes well for the club’s chances of bypassing Salmon Arm into post-season contention. They believe in themselves, and I sincerely hope that you, the fans, do too. Chris Wahl is the play-by-play voice of the Trail Smoke Eaters. Check out his blog at offthe-wahl.blogspot.ca

Sunday’s major midget game at the Nelson and District Community Complex was a physical contest, but the main shenanigans took place the day before when a brawl broke out at the end of the game.

Brawl ends Ice-Cougar match By Bob Hall Nelson News

The BC Major Midget League is sorting out suspensions after a brawl broke out at the end of Saturday afternoon’s Kootenay Ice-Cariboo Cougars game at the Nelson and District Community Complex. The buzzer had sounded on an 8-2 Cariboo decision and when teams flooded onto the ice to recognize their goaltenders, the league’s penalty minute leader Tre Potskin crosschecked an unsuspecting Ice player. Kootenay captain Justin Post stepped in and with all the players on the surface at one time, at least seven spirited fights broke out with almost all the players engaged in the melee. “The game had ended… it caught both coaches by surprise,” said Ice head coach Mario DiBella. “We were doing our best from the bench to get our players off of the ice. Notwithstanding jumping onto the ice and becoming part of the fracas, I don’t know what more we could have done.”

DiBella is disappointed by the fact the considerably older and bigger Cariboo team were the clear instigators in the brawl. “It’s upsetting to me,” said DiBella. “Particularly when I see 15-year-old players on our team getting pounded on by 17-year-old players from Prince George.” DiBella said the players on the Prince George-based team were the pursuers in the brawl and three of his players had their helmets ripped off by their more experienced opponents. Brawl catalyst Potskin currently has 148 penalty minutes on the season. Dane Elphicke is the Ice leader in penalty minutes with 70. The league is currently working on suspensions from the incident. The Cougars sit second in the 11-team league, while the Ice are last. On Sunday morning, the teams locked horns again. Though the game did not include any shenanigans, the Ice were

again on the wrong end of an 8-3 score. “They are a very good team, they move the puck really well,” DiBella said of the Cougars. “They are a big, physical team and they are a challenge. At times we played with them and at other times we capitulated and allowed them to take the puck to our net and that obviously ended with lopsided scores.” Despite only having three wins in 30 games, DiBella said his team has made big improvements over the course of the season. “We take pride in our team’s work ethic. Many of these players come from small associations where they were the big fish in the small pond. “Now they are seeing what it’s like to play against the best of the best in their age category throughout the province.” The league consists of players aged 15 to 17. The Ice travel to Victoria this coming weekend for a twogame set with the South Island Royals.

Firebird fizzles

FROM PAGE 9 One minute later Allstar seized the lead when Dan Devito finished a Layne Stopanski pass to make it 2-1 and following Glover’s marker, Ryan Zanussi pitched in banging home a Jason Proulx offering to make it 4-1. Firebird’s Dan Lind would make it a two score game netting a power play goal when Dan Devito was off for roughing at 6:40 of the third. But that’s as close as the Firebird would get as Davis and Stopanski added late goals for Allstar to make it 6-2. Stopanski finished with a goal and two assists. Allstar sits in third place in the TCHL standings with 27 points, while Firebird falls a point behind Arlington for last spot. TCHL action continues tonight when Re/Max looks to stop its skid against Firebird at 7:15 p.m. and Arlington takes on the Allstar at 8:30 p.m. .

angry kid who likes to torture dogs and pull the wings off of butterflies is more likely to harm a human being than the child who is socially awkward, but it still doesn’t predict mass murder. And easy access to guns can create an opportunity for tragedy that would otherwise defuse in a less disastrous way. If you are in regular contact with this child, the best thing you can do is help him develop empathy for others and learn impulse control. We also hope you can be his friend. Dear Annie: My husband and I communicate with our grandchildren regularly by phone, text and email. We have one adult grandchild who lives in another state.

Dear Annie: With the recent events that have occurred across the country involving mass killings, this has prompted me to ask a question. What do you do if you know someone you think could end up in the news involved in a mass killing? What do you do with those gut feelings? I know someone who has prompted me and others to think, “This guy is a ticking time bomb.” This particular person is still a child, but one who displays many signs of being severely troubled. His parents don’t seem concerned, but many of us on the outside of this family dynamic think this child has serious issues and could potentially end up committing a horrible crime. So what do I do?

Two dead in Slocan crash

Snow citadel

The Nelson Star Two people are dead following a single-vehicle crash on Highway 6 north of Slocan City last night around the Cape Horn bluffs. West Kootenay Traffic Services says it happened around 7:30 p.m. A pick-up truck with two people in it missed a curve and went into a pull out and about 100 meters down an embankment. The vehicle was engulfed in flames. Two unidentified bodies were recovered from the wreckage. RCMP Cpl. John Ferguson says the pair was not local but it may take some time to confirm their identities.

Jim Bailey photo

This impressive snow structure sits along Highway 3 near Bluebird Road in Beaver Valley. While the fortress might withstand a ground attack, it might have a little trouble defending against Mother Nature, who is serving up warmer temperatures over the next few days.
