SPRUCING UP THE SPIDER
Silver City Days can take a hefty bite out of a family’s wallet BY ART HARRISON Times Staff
Every parent knows that taking the family for a day at the fair can leave you feeling like your wallet is considerably lighter than when you left the house in the morning. But how much does it really cost? Of course, the total can vary drastically depending on how hungry you are, how many rides you want to try and how big a prize you want to win. A conservative estimate for a family of four for the day; $40 for lunch, $25 for games, $45 for rides, $20 for snacks and drinks and $40 for dinner for a total of $170. According to the owner and general manager of West Coast Amusements, I.R. (Bingo) Hauser, the pricing for the rides at Silver City Days this year is the same as last year. “We're keeping everything the same this year but we'll have to look at it next year,” said Hauser. “The biggest cost we have is for fuel to bring these things here and it goes up all the time.” Hauser, who has been working in travelling shows in Canada since 1944, began as a lion tamer and moved west in 1947. He says that, as much as they try to keep the prices reasonable, everything costs more now than it once did. “Between the fuel for the trucks, insurance for the show, permits... everything goes up,” Hauser said. “I'm not sure how much longer these travelling shows will be able to keep going.” A leisurely stroll through the Silver City Days food mall and West Coast Amusements midway might give you an idea of how much you may need to withdraw from the bank machine before you take in the show this year. Basing an estimate on a family of four, two adults and two children, provides a starting point. The typical Saturday at the annual festival generally begins with the parade and carries on to lunch after the parade when the sidewalk cafe in the Cominco Arena opens at noon. Prices at the Smoke Eaters’ sidewalk cafe will be the same this year, according to Smoke Eaters president Tom Gawryletz. “We’ll have the usual spaghetti and meatballs with a roll, italian sausages, and pizza, beer and wine for the adults and pop,” Gawryletz said. “And we’ll have a condensed Spud Shack menu as well, with fries, onion rings and hotdogs for the kids.” See FOOD, Page 3

Election creates its own employment boom BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
If you listen to the campaign platforms then you have probably heard that a solution to improve the economy is jobs, jobs and jobs. So, it is ironic that the provincial election itself has brought jobs, albeit temporary, to over 37,000 British Columbians, including 500 in the Kootenay West District. Since April 1, the District Electoral Office has been hiring locally, and offering a pay rate that is nothing to scoff at. Compensation for the day is $250. No experience is required but the worker, called an election official, must be at
least 15 years of age, literate in basic English and legally entitled to work in B.C. In order to work at the voting stations, a training session (approximately two hours) must be completed, which will net a pay of $35. The work day is long, and election officials must be prepared to sit or stand for extended periods. “Election workers are asked to arrive at 7:15 a.m. to set up their stations,” said Don Vinish, district electoral officer. “And there they must stay for the duration, until after 8 p.m. and until they balance.” From Trail to Trout Lake, there are 26 polling sites, officially called voting places,
to be manned by the election officials on Tuesday, said Vinish. Each table will have two ballot boxes, and be attended by two people at all times, he explained. Currently there are three places to advance vote, and in Trail, a fair amount of residents have already been in the electoral office on McQuarrie Street in East Trail, to place their votes, Vinish said. Results of those votes will be counted and added to votes on election day and released as an initial count later that night. Vinish said that a final count will take place in the East Trail office from May 27 to 29.
“Those days we count all those absentee ballots and add them to the initial count,” explained Vinish. “If the race is close, the absentee ballots could conceivably change the outcome.” This election, a full enumeration was not done, due to expense. “In the past, a full enumeration was done, which is door-to-door in the whole province,” he said. “That was just way too expensive, so this time, everyone had an opportunity to register on-line or at one of our registration desks. “Instead of going to the people, we had them come to us.”

situation. Most of the new whiz bang options on vehicles involve added electronic systems. Back up cameras, proximity sensing systems, cruise control systems that maintain the distance between the vehicle in front of you, vehicles that will park themselves, systems that help you stay in your lane, the list goes on. Many of these options seem to be heading in the direction of cars that drive themselves. Will consumers fix these systems when they fail? Once you drive with them, will you not be able to drive without them and spend your hard earned cash to fix them?

found an interesting one that I did not even know existed and was way ahead of its time. The vehicle was a 2001 Audi. Upon parking the vehicle and turning it off we noticed that the interior fan was continuing to run. Was this supposed to happen? And if so, why? Stuff that stays running usually means dead battery. Time to find the owner’s manual. This car has a solar panel in the sun roof that provides power to run the interior fan to circulate air and keep the interior of the car from heating up in the sun. That is an option I would like to have. An overheated interior is hard on everything in it. Who hasn’t done some damage leaving something in a parked vehicle in the sun. Would I pay to fix it? Maybe!

Food selection offers a variety of prices FROM PAGE 1 The sidewalk cafe, being a local organization fund-raiser, typically can provide food and drinks at a lower price than a private individual making a living. A post-parade lunch for the family with two spaghetti dinners at $8 each, say pizza for two kids at $3 each, a plate of fries to share at $4, a beer or a glass of wine for the adults at $5 each and two pop for the kids at $1. This is a pretty full meal and, of course, only an estimate but the total works out to $38. An even more frugal approach might be to take in a basic corn dog for each of the kids, burgers for the adults, and pop on the food mall, which can be bought for as little as $20. However, there appears to be a broader selection of options for food this year and with a variety of burgers and meat buns from $5 to $9, donairs and wraps from $8 to $10, and salads in the $9 to $10 range, it’s easy to imagine lunch for four as potentially costing considerably more. From lunch the family continues on to the midway rides and games with the prices varying depending on the size of the prize one is aiming for and the rides preferred. Playing one of the basic children’s games can give the opportunity for a kid to win a small stuffed creature for only $2, larger toys will cost at least $10 worth of gaming to win. A rough estimate of what it would cost to win one of huge stuffed characters on display, provided by a midway worker who preferred to remain anonymous, was in the neighbourhood of $100. I imagine those to be the exclusive territory of younger men who are somewhat desperate to impress a particular young lady. Or viceversa. For the purposes of this estimate, a reasonably strict family limit for midway games could be
around $25. For the midway rides, $15 for a book of six, $22.50 for 16, and $45 for 40 Thursday and Friday. All day wrist bands are available Saturday for $32 and Sunday with a donation of two non-perishable food items for $29. Small children’s rides are four or five tickets, larger rides, more targeted towards teens or adults require six. Depending on your income, level of indulgence with your children, and their ages, it may just be best to pay the $62 for wrist bands and let them go wild for the day but those with younger kids and with less disposable cash would probably consider a book of tickets as more reasonable. If one of the parents will, at some point, have to accompany one or both of the children on a ride or two, the $45 book is probably the most realistic choice. Snacks throughout the afternoon can range from cotton candy at $4 or $5, popcorn from $3 to $7 depending on the size of the bag, candy apples at $4, and drinks in the $1 or $2 range. Put a rough guess at $20. After a long day of parades, entertainment, rides, and street food many would opt for taking the kids home for a quite dinner and to wind down before the Saturday evening fireworks but if your children are closer to their teens this may not happen so the family may choose to have more of a dinner at the food mall or return to the sidewalk cafe for more food, and music in that venue. If so count of another $20 to $40 for a dinner-like meal and drinks. Of course this will change considerably with the age of the children and the level of tolerance the parents have for wandering around town for the day but this is certainly not out of the question and probably less than many will spend. But above all, have a safe and enjoyable Silver City days.

Conservative platform criticizes the B.C. Liberals for spending less than the national average on health care, and for raising Medical Services Plan premiums. Party leader John Cummins has joined the B.C. Liberals and NDP in promising an expansion for the 63-year-old Penticton Regional Hospital. • The B.C. Green Party platform promises to “support development of co-ops and social enterprises for the provision of community-based health, social and education services.” It also wants to expand MSP coverage for chiropractic, physiotherapy, eye exams and massage therapy, and impose a junk food tax.
Hospital becomes political football BY JOE FRIES
Penticton Western News
Doctors working to raise the profile of a proposed expansion project at Penticton Regional Hospital were rewarded this week with fresh commitments from B.C. political leaders, but physicians aren’t letting down their guard yet. “We’re not going away until the shovel’s in the ground,” Dr. Susan Tebbutt said Friday, moments after NDP leader Adrian Dix reaffirmed his commitment to building the four-storey ambulatory care tower. Tebbutt and the rest of the Penticton Medical Society have been working since last year to rally public support for the $300-million ambulatory care tower and get to it on the political radar. The mission was accomplished this week when the tower became a provincial election campaign issue. “It’s certainly getting a lot of discussion and play, and that is what we want,” Tebbutt said. At numerous campaign events including in Penticton, Liberal leader Christy Clark claimed the NDP would cancel the hospital project if it forms government. Dix denied that claim at an event staged directly across the street from PRH. “We’ve said clearly in our platform that we’re going to maintain the projects that are in place now, including, and especially, the Penticton Regional Hospital project.”

NATIONAL NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD SURVEY
Immigration numbers rising THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The debut of Canada’s controversial census replacement survey shows there are more foreign-born people in the country than ever before, at a proportion not seen in almost a century. They’re young, they’re suburban, and they’re mainly from Asia, although Africans are arriving in growing numbers. But the historical comparisons are few and far between in the National Household Survey, which Statistics Canada designed at Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s behest - to replace the cancelled long-form census of the past. The new survey of almost three million people shows that Canada is home to 6.8 million foreign-born residents - or 20.6 per cent of the population, compared with 19.8 per cent in 2006, and the highest in the G8 group of rich countries. It also shows that aboriginal populations have surged by 20 per cent over the past five years, now representing 4.3 per cent of Canada’s population up from 3.8 per cent in the 2006 census. Almost one in five people living in Canada is a visible minority. And in nine different municipalities, those visible minorities are

actually the majority. However, Statistics Canada isn’t handing out detailed comparisons to the results shown in the 2006 census. That’s because many comparisons with the past can only made reliably at a national or provincial level, said Marc Hamel, director general of the census. He said the agency suppressed data from 1,100 mainly small communities because of data quality, compared with about 200 that were suppressed in 2006. Until 2006, questions on immigration, aboriginals and religion were asked in the mandatory long-form census that went to one-fifth of Canadian households. When the Conservatives cancelled that part of the census in 2010, Statistics Canada replaced it with a new questionnaire that went to slightly more

households, but was voluntary instead of mandatory, skewing the data when it comes to making direct comparisons. What the NHS does show is that, overwhelmingly, most recent immigrants are from Asia, including the Middle East, but to a lesser degree than in the early part of the decade. Between 2006 and 2011, 56.9 per cent of immigrants were Asian, compared with the 60 per cent of the immigrants that came between 2001 and 2005. The Philippines was the top source country for recent immigrants, with 13 per cent, according to the National Household Survey - although a footnote warns that the survey data “is not in line” with data collected by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. China and India were second and third as source countries.

OTTAWA - Statistics Canada released the first tranche of results Wednesday from the 2011 voluntary National Household Survey, which replaced the cancelled mandatory long-form census. Some highlights: - Canada was home to an estimated 6,775,800 immigrants in 2011, comprising 20.6 per cent of the population - more than ever before and the highest proportion of all G8 countries. - Canada’s aboriginal population grew by 20.1 per cent - 232,385 people - between 2006 and 2011, compared with 5.2 per cent for non-aboriginal people. - Almost half (48.1 per cent) of all children aged 14 and under in foster care in Canada in 2011 were aboriginal children. - About 1,162,900 foreign-born people immigrated to Canada between 2006 and 2011, making up 17.2 per cent of the foreign-born population and 3.5 per cent of Canada’s total population. - More than 200 different ethnic origins were reported in the 2011 survey, with 13 of them representing more than a million people each. - Nearly 6,264,800 people identified themselves as a visible minority, representing 19.1 per cent of the population. 65 per cent of them were born outside Canada. - South Asians, Chinese and blacks accounted for 61.3 per cent of the visible minority population, followed by Filipinos, Latin Americans, Arabs, Southeast Asians, West Asians, Koreans and Japanese. - More than 22.1 million people - twothirds of Canadians - said they were affiliated with a Christian religion, including 12.7 million Roman Catholics, the largest single group. - 7.8 million people, 23.9 per cent of the population, reported having no religious affiliation. - Slightly more than one million people, or 3.2 per cent of the population, identified themselves as Muslim, while Hindus represented 1.5 per cent, Sikhs 1.4 per cent, Buddhists 1.1 per cent and Jews one p The survey, which replaced the mandatory long-form census cancelled by the Harper Conservatives in 2010, is filled with warnings that the data may not be as accurate, given the survey’s voluntary nature.

Forum offered a glimpse of candidates not platforms
M
onday's all-candidates forum at the Cominco Gym said a lot of the state of political affairs locally and provincially. The four candidates vying for the right to represent the Kootenay West riding made their pitches, answered questions and shook a lot of hands on the evening but the fact remained that only about 60 people, out of a couple of thousand of eligible voters, turned out to hear the candidates. For those who didn't attend, you didn't miss much. There wasn't a lot of debate among the candidates and no vocal support or applause from the audience. It was a rather cordial meeting that allowed the candidates to campaign from their chairs with promises of a better life for all if they're elected. Nevertheless, each candidate's demeanour during the two-hour forum gave voters an insight into the person they would be voting for. Katrine Conroy was polished and poised, like a political veteran should be, as she delivered the “change”
message to the audience. As the NDP's critic for senior affairs, it played right into her wheelhouse that the small crowd featured a majority of senior citizens. Meanwhile, the BC Liberals Jim Postnikoff looked very much like the man thrown into the fire as the ruling provincial party needed some type of representation in every riding to avoid the embarrassment of not fielding enough candidates to cover B.C. Unfortunately, Postnikoff's late entry into the political race was apparent as he stuck to the scripted message and rarely deviated or lifting his eyes from the abundance of notes in front of him. That alone was enough to create a glaze over the crowd more often seen in a mathematics class when the teacher starts explaining formulas and percentages. Then the two independent candidates provided a different take. Joseph Hughes of Nakusp came on like a Kootenay politician. He preached the rights of the voters, the problem with the current system and the God-given right to live life

like we choose while helping our local communities grow. Glen Byle presented his radical idea of using technology to help hear the voter's voice. His assertion that everyone gets a say in decision making underscored his lack of knowledge in certain areas. And he didn't address the fact that perhaps some in the audience and no doubt throughout the Kootenay West riding there are people who either don't have a computer or don't feel comfortable enough with it to cast a vote. Perhaps his time will come but it won't be now. Even with Conroy's experience, Postnikoff's notes, Hughes' passion and Byle's technology-based
thinking, the candidates had a hard time answering questions from the audience that impact local voters. A question on school funding came with promises from the NDP candidate, a repeat of the economy first mantra from the Liberal candidate and no concrete direction from the independents. A question on seniors brought a little more detailed reply from Conroy, using her expertise. Postnikoff again said changes have to be made but provided little specifics and left many in the room scratching their heads when he said changes were coming to the United Way. It may have closed its doors in Castlegar, Postnikoff's home base, but continues to help many in the Greater Trail area. So the idea of changing the format was made even more confusing without any details. At every turn Hughes spoke with passion and a grassroots feel that had many in the crowd nodding in agreement but even he admitted he wasn't about to form the next provincial government so his goal is
to look after our region first and go from there. Unfortunately, the holes in Byle's Technology Enabled true Democracy (TED) began to appear as he replied to some questions with the familiar refrain that he would simply ask the voters what to do. There were no questions on smart meters, legalization of marijuana, better road services, crossborder shopping or even pipelines. The best question of the night was perhaps one of the last ones, which asked candidates how they would generate the funds to pay for their promises. They all had a plan. It's a matter of which one you think will work. With the small turnout at the forum, it begs the question, “Have people already made up their minds or don't care?” I'm hoping it's the first option because if people don't care about which direction the province is headed at this point, then it makes you wonder what needs to happen to make them begin to care.

have much luck in tracking down alleged al-Qaeda supporters in the wilds of Yemen or Afghanistan and spiriting them away to Guantanamo. If it doesn’t target them with drones, then most of them will go on living (and so will the innocent people nearby). This brings us to the second unstated assumption: that if all those dangerous people had been allowed to live, then there would have been hundreds of terrorist attacks against the United States. Or at least dozens. Okay then, how about a couple? After all, there were no drone strikes for the first three years after the 9/11 attacks in 2001, because the technology was not yet available. Yet even then, when al-Qaeda was still a relatively strong and cohesive organization, there was not one further terrorist attack on the United States. The link between drone strikes and possible terrorist attacks on the United States is purely rhetorical. Never mind. The whole argument is moot. Obama won’t get the Republican majority in the House of Representatives to go along with closing Guantanamo this time either. And he won’t stop the drone strikes because he needs to be seen by the American public to be doing something “positive” as he brings the American troops home from another needless and lost war. There is not one iota of strategic thinking in any of this. It’s all about American domestic politics, as the response to 9/11 has been from the beginning.

New controls a cause for concern An editorial from the Toronto Star Near the end of the latest federal budget, tucked away like so many controversial measures before it, in a distant corner of an omnibus bill, is a deceptively innocuous, deeply worrying piece of legislation that will give the government unprecedented controls over Crown corporations. The budget implementation bill tabled last week contains provisions that will allow the government to intervene in the collective bargaining and executive salary negotiations of more than 40 Crown corporations, including VIA Rail, Canada Post and, most problematically, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. Given the Harper government’s history of hard-line interventions in Crown corporations’ labour disputes, affected unions are understandably worried. Denis Lemelin, national president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, decried the measures
as an “unbelievable” threat to “our right to negotiate” - a concern that could not have been assuaged by Wednesday’s question period discussion of the measure. In the case of the CBC, the threat the new provisions pose to that public interest is clear. Social media was rife last week with unlikely claims that the Harper government, by giving itself these new powers, is attempting to make a Pravda of the CBC. By taking control of salary negotiations the government will necessarily exert tacit political influence, compromising the independence necessary for the CBC to serve its important democratic function. What government hasn’t occasionally been angry at the CBC and its handling of the news? Are we to believe that politics won’t come into play even if only in some subtle, subconscious way - when the government helps to renegotiate David Suzuki’s contract? Or when the producers of The
National, their salaries subject to cabinet’s approval, decide what to investigate? There’s a good reason why the CBC - and other Crown agencies - have been kept at arm’s length from the government of the day. Moreover, the legislation opens the door to further infringements on the CBC’s independence. In an attempt to crush the unions, Harper has - whether unwittingly or uncaringly - created a tool with which governments wishing to tamper with the CBC’s editorial approach can do so with greater precision than ever before. Whether or not this government intends to use that tool, defenders of public broadcasting would surely sleep easier if it didn’t exist. Keeping costs down is a fine goal, but in that pursuit the government has accepted unacceptable collateral damage. That’s precisely why Crown corporations have until now been spared these far-reaching government controls.

JEANNE COOPER
Soap opera icon starred on ‘The Young and the Restless’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - Jeanne Cooper, the enduring soap opera star who played grande dame Katherine Chancellor for nearly four decades on “The Young and the Restless,” has died. She was 84. Cooper died Wednesday morning in her sleep, her son the actor Corbin Bernsen wrote on Facebook. The family confirmed the death to CBS, according to a network spokeswoman. She was in a Los Angeles-area hospital, according to Bernsen’s spokesman, Charles Sherman, who said the cause of death was not immediately available. “One of the last great broads in our business - Jeanne Cooper, Mom - is now stirring up trouble in great beyond,” her family said. Cooper will be remembered “as a daytime television legend and as a friend who will truly be missed by all of us here at the network,” said Nina Tassler, president of CBS Entertainment, adding that the actress brought “indelible charm, class and talent to every episode.” “Heaven just gained one feisty angel,” cast member Melissa Claire Egan posted on her Twitter account. “A very sad day for all of us. You will be deeply missed,” tweeted Jessica Collins, also on the serial. Cooper joined the daytime serial six months after its March 1973 debut, staking claim to the title of longest-tenured cast member. The role earned her 11 Daytime Emmy nominations and a trophy for best actress in a drama series in 2008. “God knows it’s claimed a big part of my life,” she told The Associated Press in March as CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” celebrated its milestone 40th anniversary. As the years passed, Cooper brushed aside thoughts of saying goodbye to the show and its fictional Wisconsin town of Genoa City. “What would I do? I’m no good at crocheting. My fingers would bleed,” she told the AP as she turned 83 in October. But on April 12 Bernsen tweeted that his mother faced an “uphill battle” for an undisclosed illness. In subsequent days he wrote of her gradual improvement and said that she’d been taken off breathing equipment. In a Facebook posting April 17, Bernsen said his mother cursed several times, “showing me that she’s becoming her old self, not thrilled about the situation, and ready to get out of the hospital and shake up the world.” On Wednesday he wrote that she remained a fighter until the end: “She has been a blaze her entire life, that beacon, that boxer I spoke of earlier. She went the full twelve rounds and by unanimous decision... won!”

RAY HARRYHAUSEN
Master of special effects in films dies
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON - When Ray Harryhausen was 13, he was so overwhelmed by “King Kong” that he vowed he would create otherworldly creatures on film. He fulfilled his desire as an adult, thrilling audiences with skeletons in a sword fight, a gigantic octopus destroying the Golden Gate Bridge, and a six-armed dancing goddess. On Tuesday, Harryhausen died at London’s Hammersmith Hospital, where he had been receiving treatment for about a week. He was 92. Biographer and longtime friend Tony Dalton confirmed the special-effects titan’s death, saying it was too soon to tell the exact cause. “Ray did so much and influenced so many people,” Dalton said. He recalled his friend’s “wonderfully funny, brilliant sense of humour” and love of Laurel and Hardy, adding that, “His creatures were extraordinary, and his
imagination was boundless.” Though little known by the general public, Harryhausen made 17 movies that are cherished by devotees of film fantasy. George Lucas, who borrowed some of Harryhausen’s techniques for his “Star Wars” films, commented: “I had seen some other fantasy films before, but none of them had the kind of awe that Ray Harryhausen’s movies had.” The late science fiction author Ray Bradbury, a longtime friend and admirer, once remarked: “Harryhausen stands alone as a technician, as an artist and as a dreamer. ... He breathed life into mythological creatures he constructed with his own hands.” Harryhausen’s method was as old as the motion picture itself: stop motion. He sculpted characters from 7.5 cm to 38 cm (3 inches to 15 inches) tall and photographed them one frame at a time in
continuous poses, thus creating the illusion of motion. In today’s movies, such effects are achieved digitally. Harryhausen admired the three-dimensional quality of modern digital effects, but he still preferred the old-fashioned way of creating fantasy. “I don’t think you want to make it quite real. Stop motion, to me, gives that added value of a dream world,” he said. The great-grandson of African explorer David Livingstone, Ray Frederick Harryhausen was born in Los Angeles on June 19, 1920. As a boy, he saw the 1925 silent fantasy “The Lost World,” Willis O’Brien’s stop-motion movie about dinosaurs in a South American jungle. “I always remember the dinosaur falling off the cliff,” he remarked at a Vancouver, Canada, animation and effects convention in 2001. “That stuck in my mind for years.” His future was assured
in 1933 when he saw “King Kong” at Grauman’s Chinese theatre in Hollywood. “I used to make little clay models,” he recalled. “When I saw ‘King Kong,’ I saw a way to make those models move.” In contrast to the millions spent on digital effects today, Harryhausen made his magic on a shoestring. His first effort, “The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms” (1953), cost $250,000 for the entire film. He commented wryly in 1998: “I find it rather amusing to sit through the on-screen credits today, seeing the names of 200 people doing what I once did by myself.” Other notable achievements included the film “Earth vs. the Flying Saucers,” where aliens slice through the Washington Monument and crash into the U.S. Capitol. He also was behind “The Golden Voyage of Sinbad,” where a one-eyed centaur battles a part-lion, part-eagle creature known as a griffin.

Record-breaking February for Tourism Rossland By Timothy Schafer Rossland News
A deluge of snow and media attention have given the Rossland accommodation industry its best month ever in the seven-year history of Tourism Rossland. February broke all records for total accommodation revenue in the city as $568,390 dollars rolled through the tills of the city’s hotels, motels, bed and breakfast’s and condominiums. The previous month saw the record for accommodation revenue—$492,000 in February of 2006— broken at $526,212. Tourism Rossland’s executive director, Deanne Stevens, said the 2013 numbers compared to the years previous really stand out and illustrate what a great year the city had. She pointed to the announcement of the opening of cat skiing at Red Mountain Resort, combined with a high profile story in
the New York Times— ranking Rossland as the eighth among the newspaper’s 46 places to go—and winning the Powder Magazine’s Ski Town Throwdown along with Nelson’s Whitewater Ski Resort as the best ski town in North America. “It was a combination of really great news, great snow and then a lot of attention in the press this year,” Stevens said. “The area has been teetering on the edge of being really strong for a number of years and we were close.” March is expected to be near the record as well, she said, but the numbers aren’t tabulated. In January many people came and stayed in the city for the Winter Carnival, which is gaining some measure of fame outside of the borders of the West Kootenay. The exposure wasn’t by accident. Stevens, along with Red Mountain, Big Red Cats, Canadian Ski
Quest and Kootenay Rockies Tourism attended nearly one dozen tourism indus-
try trade shows around the world to promote the area and the then planned lift and ter-
rain expansion onto Grey Mountain at Red Mountain Resort. “Went to all the dif-
ferent ski shows and having something new to talk about (like Grey expansion) got their
attention and that attention got us exposure in the New York Times,” said Stevens.

By Brenda Hooper As I begin to pen this column I am writing in anticipation of the celebration of Hospice Month in May. I have just come in from beginning to clean up the garden. Though I was dressed for winter and could see my breath, I also could see so many things peeking out from under last year’s old foliage. The old and the new. What is new about Hospice that has sprung from its roots? The word hospice comes from the Roman era, when people would provide hospitality to travellers. In turn, they would expect to be hosted when they were travelling. The word began to imply a mutuality, host and guest becoming interchangeable, both affected by the encounter. Hospice originates from the 11th century when the Sovereign Order of St John of Jerusalem established wayfarer houses to care for people on their way through high mountain passes, to or from the crusades. Interestingly enough they are still involved with the hospice movement as a sponsor of our provincial hospice associa-
tion BCHPCA. The 1800’s saw homes for the dying established by various religious orders in Paris, Ireland and New York. Although not connected with each other, the principles of these organizations shared a concern for the care of the dying, and in particular the dying poor. Although they were not places that offered sophisticated medical or nursing care, these early facilities created some of the preconditions for the development of modern hospices. Dame Cicely Saunders founded St. Christopher’s Hospice in South London in 1967. A friend of mine growing up in that neighbourhood remembers walking past each day on the way to school. As a teenager she was inspired to go in and began volunteering. As the first modern hospice, inspiring work all over the world, St. Christopher’s combined three different principles: excellent clinical care, education, and research. Greater Trail Hospice Society in our small rural area also tries to incorporate these principles in our work in the community. You will see they are reflected in
the activities we have planned for Hospice Month in May. We will be cohosting a regional Community Conversation on Dying: Lessons from the Field, today Trail and Castlegar Hospices are collaborators on a research project with UBC Okanagan and are bringing in the researchers to report on some of the changes occurring in Canada and how they affect us. We will be hosting several workshops on Advanced Care Planning and Estate Planning, allowing people the opportunity to work in a small group to actually begin the work of articulating their own wishes. Research shows that procrastination is one of the greatest blocks when thinking about creating our personal plans and that those who do are more likely to end up having what they consider a “good death”. We hope to help overcome the blocks for those who participate. Details can be found on our website www.trailhospice.org. Please join us for any or all of these events and join in the conversation, as we sit at the bedside, not just of individuals, but of the community.

FISH ON
West Kootenay
Fishing Report The West Kootenay Fishing Report is back with reports and tips on how to catch fish on local lakes and streams. The Kootenay Lake submission is courtesy of Reel Adventure Fishing Charters’ Kerry Reed. www.reeladventuresfishing.com Kootenay Lake: It’s that time of year. The weather has warmed up to the balmy spring-like conditions we’ve all been waiting for and with that, the water will warm and the fish will start to get more active. My favourite time of year is coming. April saw some good and bad days on the water. Still had to be patient, but we were normally rewarded. The creeks started to flow a bit in the past few weeks and that has brought out some bugs and debris on the water. This has also brought out the small, insect eating fish. So, we have been hooking into a lot of shakers lately. At least it keeps us running for the rods. One of our best days last week saw us hooking into 12 Rainbows. The first few were only small and had us wondering if we would find a big one. But after catching half a dozen little guys, we finally hooked into a hog. The fish ran the counter out to over 500 feet of line, and jumped about six times, before making a mad run towards the boat when it spit the hook. Heart breaker. However, the day got better as the boat landed a 14, 14.5, and 12 pound Gerrards in addition to some smaller rainbows. Temperature: The water temperature hasn’t quite reached our prime number yet, but when it does, these fish are going to go wild. Also, with the hot weather, keep an eye open for the famous flying-ant hatch. They will get blown into the water by the thousands and that’s when every fish in the lake will finally come to the surface and put the feed on. Lures and flies: We’ve been catching a lot of fish on bucktail flies. Lots of shakers at this time of year, but always a few big ones mixed in. Favourite colors so far have been: black/white, grey/
white, and still purple/white. The lucky numbers being: 210, 215, 222, 228 Apex lures are working well also. Similar colors as the flies. Black/white, Silver, or blue/green has been working as well. And my favorite Lyman plugs have also been producing some fish. Lucky numbers: 10, 16, 55, 69. Prime time is coming, so Let’s get out there. Columbia River: The Columbia has been nothing short of spectacular this month. With unseasonably hot weather bringing out a variety of hatches for the fly fisher and spincaster including caddis, baetis mayflies, stoneflies, salmonflies, cicadas, and flying black ants, not to mention midges and mosquitoes (chironomids). Size 6-8 golden stonefly nymphs or size 4-6 salmonfly (pteronarcys californica) nymphs fished on a full-sink or sink-tip line worked great in April and continue to produce in early May. Fly of the month: Golden stonefly nymph
Hook: Size 8-10 2XL wet fly hook with .30 weighted wire wrapped around top third. Thread: Black #8 Body: Olive Hareline Dubbing Tail: Gold goose biots Shellback: 1/8” Mottled Turkey Thin Skin Rib: Medium copper wire Legs: Brown grizzly soft hackle
After landing a half dozen rainbows on nymphs, I changed to the dry line in the afternoon and also had success on an adult stonefly pattern. But May is the month of the dog-day cicada and flying black ant. Columbia rainbows go crazy over these terrestrial treats at this time of year. See LOCAL, Page 12

SILVER CITY DAYS
Bocce Classic and Fun Run ready to roll BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
Silver City Days wouldn’t be complete without the Colombo Lodge-AM Ford Bocce Classic and the Fun Run, two events that have added a touch of athleticism to the annual celebration. The Bocce tournament gets rolling at the Trail Curling Rink where 28 teams will vie for the coveted Classic title. The bocce throwers will also get a chance to warm up tonight and practice throwing bocce on the carpet-lined lanes of the curling club venue from 6 to 9 p.m. The players get bowling in earnest from 2 to 9 p.m. on Friday and will continue on Saturday from 9 a.m. to about 5 p.m. with an 11 a.m. break so competitors can step outside and enjoy the parade. The two-player-per-team open tournament began in 2006 to celebrate the Colombo Lodge’s 100th year. Original organizer Sergio Freschi says sponsors like Kootenay Savings and AM Ford have been huge contributors to the success of the event, and he encourages everyone to stop in, enjoy a beverage at the bar and watch teams from around the Kootenays play their best bocce. The Silver City Days Fun Run will look to duplicate its record turnout at last year’s run, that saw close to 300 participants take to the pavement in Sunningdale. The run starts in Gyro Park Sunday at 9 a.m. follows the river, circles Sunningdale and returns along the sidewalk. Entrants in the 5K will finish at Gyro, while the 10K competitors head towards East Trail, and eventually a loop of downtown Trail before heading back to the finish at Gyro. Last year the Fun Run received a healthy boost from Teck’s Health and Wellness program

Canucks keeping quiet about future
THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER Vancouver Canucks management went into silence mode Wednesday in the aftermath of the club’s first-round playoff exit at the hands of the San Jose Sharks. But major changes loom after the Canucks, who came within a game of winning the Stanley Cup in 2010-11, bowed out early from the playoffs for the second consecutive spring. The Canucks announced early in the afternoon they will hold a media availability Thursday. In the

morning, the team’s recorded phone message said it could be “a few days” before one was held in wake of Tuesday’s 3-2 overtime loss in San Jose, which gave the Sharks a 4-0 sweep of their best-ofseven series Western Conference quarterfinal series. Management is trying to figure out what went wrong in the playoffs for a team that viewed itself as a strong Stanley Cup contender but fell well short of its target.
General manager Mike Gillis decided not to make any major moves following last year’s five-game loss to the Los Angeles Kings. Gillis thought the club was close to returning to the Stanley Cup final, but the humiliating sweep by the Sharks likely means that, as players have acknowledged, the so-called Stanley Cup window of opportunity is closing quickly and bold moves are inevitable. The Canucks have
lost 10 of their last 11 playoff games dating to the 2010-11 finals. There is no guarantee Gillis will get the chance to do a redesign. His future and those of coach Alain Vigneault, Vancouver’s veteran core and, as usual, goaltender Roberto Luongo, are all in question as the Canucks hope to avoid a freefall with NHL realignment, tougher divisional opponents, and a reduced salary cap looming.
Local Lakes producing FROM PAGE 11 Flies: Any cicada size 6-8 or black ant pattern. Size 8-10 golden stonefly and size 4-6 salmonfly nymph patterns are very effective nymphed or fished with sink tip, also orange and yellow stimulators or skwalas, size 8-12. Local Lakes have been producing well. Fly fishers have had good success fishing chironomids on Rosebud, Box, and Summit Lakes since mid-April, while Champion Lakes is just recently ice-free and ready to fish. I had great results on Box Lake a few weeks ago, casting a six-foot sink tip and a 3X long size-12, beadhead prince nymph, and landed a good number of rainbows and brook trout. Chironomids are the most prolific hatch early in the season, but with warmer temps, mayflies start emerging and nymphs like the prince or Adams dry-fly pattern should start to produce. Fish chironomids about a foot off the bottom where cruising trout are
inhaling this vast source of protein. Measure the depth with either a marked anchor rope, or by clamping your forceps to the end of your line and dropping it until it hits bottom. Set your strike indicator about a foot below this. Size and colour are also key variables in the chironomid game. Observe the hatch to figure out size, and a stomach pump used on your first trout will help identify colour and size Lardeau River: It’s that time of year when the big Gerrard Rainbows make their journey up the river to spawn. The numbers have been good so far and should continue until the second week of May. For anyone that hasn’t seen this, it’s something to experience. Right now there is over 700 rainbow trout under the bridge. Hopefully we see a few more show up over the next week or so. Go to www.env.gov.bc.ca/kootenay/fsh/main/mainfish.htm.

Sister shouldn’t slam siblings on Facebook Mailbox
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
and enjoyed ourselves. There was no animosity from the sister about the money at that time. But now she has started making rude comments to my husband and the other siblings via Facebook and email that she is still waiting for my husband to “step up to the plate” and pay the rest of his share. Is it right for one member of a family to plan an event without consulting the others and then expect them to pony up the money requested? This has caused a serious rift between my husband and some of his siblings. -- Wife of Mr. 15 Percent Dear Wife: Obviously,
relationship, which had been floundering a bit. I never realized how hurt she was by my lack of commitment. She thought I didn’t love her enough and told me it made her feel as if she wasn’t a part of my life or a member of my family. She said she felt like a housekeeper with privileges. Now our ability to communicate and enjoy things together is so pleasurable again. It scares me to think we had almost given up on each other and might have ended up living out our lives apart and unhappy. We men don’t think about the sense of security it gives a woman to know, with legal vows, that a man wants to spend the rest of his life with her. -Happy and Alive Again Dear Happy: In all fairness, not all women feel this way. But we are glad you figured out what mattered to your girlfriend and told her so. The inability to commit is a problem
we hear a great deal about, so we appreciate your spelling it out for the relationship challenged. Dear Annie: Please tell “Not Anti-Social or Addicted to the Internet” that fraternal organizations offer a place for everyone
who is looking for friendship and a way to become involved and active. If one has a military background, I suggest checking out the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars or one of their affiliate organizations. In addition, there are
the Elks lodges, Eagles clubs and Masonic organizations, to mention a few. I belong to the Shriners, and they have a great deal of social interaction. -Kansas Brother

Annie’s
your husband’s sister should have discussed the finances with her siblings if she expected them to split the bill. And if she is having a problem with your husband, she shouldn’t be slamming him on Facebook or in group emails. However, she did go through a lot of trouble to plan the party, and for five years, she’s been out of pocket the amount she thought your husband would pay. He doesn’t “owe” her the rest. But in order to maintain good family relations, your husband might speak privately with his sister and ask whether he could contribute whatever additional monies he can afford on an installment plan. Dear Annie: Please tell the men in your reading audience that women interpret their wedding vows differently than we do. I finally proposed to my girlfriend of many years. It made such a huge difference in our

Dear Annie: My husband is the youngest of seven siblings. While they are all successful, some are more financially comfortable than others. Five years ago, the oldest sibling wanted to give their mother an 80th birthday party. She planned a huge party for hundreds of her mother’s friends and neighbors. She rented a party place, hired a band and catered an elaborate buffet and open bar. She then emailed all of the siblings and informed them that they each owed her $1,000. Annie, my husband didn’t have that kind of extra money. He had recently moved, found a new job and married me, a graduate student. He also pays child support for a daughter and the mortgage on another daughter’s home, as well as our rent. He explained this to his sister and said he could pay $150. We attended the party

Look for ways to make money from your words. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) In the month ahead, many of you will want to buy beautiful treasures for yourself and loved ones. (You are a sign who loves antiques and collectibles.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) With fair Venus moving into your sign now to stay for the next several weeks, you will be extra-charming and diplomatic with everyone you meet. Use this to your advantage. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Solitude in beautiful surroundings will appeal to you in the next month. Slip away to gentle places where you can ponder your navel.

Trail filmmakers garner awards at U19 festival Submitted Young filmmakers impressed the audience at this year’s annual U19 Film Festival held on April 27 at the Royal Theatre in Trail. The annual festival is the largest youth film festival in the West Kootenay region where young filmmakers compete with short films for cash prizes. “The calibre and quality of the films was the best I’ve ever seen. It’s really inspiring to see what young people are creating today with
film,” says Rachael Roussin, program coordinator for the Rossland Council for Arts and Culture. A team of four dedicated judges including a film maker, multi media specialist, youth, and local high school graphics teacher worked hard to judge the twelve submitted films in five categories plus the judge’s choice award. Trail’s Chris Tremblay, Jordan Strobel and Tim Baldwin won best Drama. Warfield’s Jordan Strobel took home
The Local Experts™
