HOPE FOR CADANCE
Volunteers prepare for New Year’s Eve benefit BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

The New Year is looking up for a five-year-old Trail girl who is battling cancer. Cadance Brace’s strength continues to amaze her parents Jeremy Brace and Amy Kotyk, who have been in Vancouver with her since November. Cadance is diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, cancer of the white blood cells, and is receiving chemotherapy at BC Children’s Hospital until the summer. She just completed her induction period to chemotherapy; the goal of this is to achieve remission, which means that leukemia cells are no longer found in bone marrow samples, the normal marrow cells return, and the blood counts become normal. “The doctor is really happy with the way she’s responded,” said Brace. “Her blood count came back good, her white blood cells are up and her hemoglobin is as high as it’s been so far.” Cadance’s cancer is now in remission but her fight is not over yet. The parents were hoping for news of a low risk assessment for Christmas this year but instead received word that their daughter is considered standard risk but a slow responder. With that in mind, it was decided to not take any chances and treat her like she was a highrisk case. Her treatment is about to become more serious as she moves into the consolidation phase, which typically includes multiple cycles of intensive chemotherapy. “It is what it is,” said Brace. “It’s not in my
hands. I can only support Amy and Cadance.” Brace is blown away with the tremendous support outpouring from his community, which has enabled him to stay down on the Coast with his girls. In just over a month about $20,000 has been raised to alleviate the cost of staying away until chemotherapy treatment is complete. “Her blood count The money will came back good, cover the family’s mortgage and bills her white blood back home but will cells are up and also pay for costs her hemoglobin associated with staying in Vancouver. is as high as it’s Volunteers are in been so far.” full force today preparing for a New JEREMY BRACE Year’s Eve benefit dinner, dance and silent auction at the Cominco Gym from 6:30 p.m. (doors at 6 p.m.) to 1 a.m. The no-minors dinner, which includes appetizers, midnight snack and champagne, is catered in kind by Darren Rossi.

TOP STORIES OF 2013
Unions square off against province and companies The Trail Times is reviewing some of the top stories of 2013 as it closes the book on a busy year. BY ART HARRISON Times Staff
The last 365 days saw its share of labour battles in the Greater Trail area and a sometimes controversial petition campaign to round out the year. The longest, and probably most divisive, labour issue was the recently settled FortisBC lockout of over 200 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 213 working in genera-
tion, transmission, and distribution of power. “Going back to work is a relief but I don’t like the circumstances,” said Albert Bortolussi, IBEW bargaining committee member. “We should have been able to get an agreement but we exhausted every effort.” Bortolussi admitted that the general feeling amongst the union membership was probably similar to his own but that the extended lockout had taken its toll on many workers who had gone so long without pay. “I think we had a lot of people whose mortgages had to be

extended but we have a lot of proud people who never showed how much they were hurting financially,” he said. “The membership’s resilience is phenomenal; nobody showed the pain because they believed in what we were doing.” The picketers were surprised and greatly appreciative at signs that many people in the community stood behind them during their struggle against the company. “One guy dropped of a turkey and all the trimmings, a whole load of groceries, and he told us to give it to whoever See SCHOOL, Page 2

School staff threatens job action FROM PAGE 1 was in need,” Bortolussi said. “One lady showed up at the fire pit (on the picket line) and gave each guy there a Christmas card, she wouldn’t give her name. When the guys opened the cards there was $100 in each card. She wouldn’t take it back. There was another lady who came by every Thursday and dropped off pretzels and muffins and all sorts of baking so we took $200 from the cards and gave it to her as thanks for the support. We were overwhelmed by the support in the community.” The two sides had faced off beginning in January with bargaining negotiations and the clock ticking on the old collective agreement, which expires in February. Talks continued without resolution until March when the union took a vote and filed strike notice. Upon receiving notice the company approached the B.C. Labour Relations Board to have certain areas of its operations designated as essential services, thereby requiring regulated staffing levels by IBEW employees to maintain electrical service. FortisBC then took its initial offer directly to the union, bypassing the IBEW bargaining committee, only to see its offer voted down a second time. In May the union began limited job action, which the company saw as jeopardizing the reliability and safety of its operations and prompted

The lockout affected FortisBC workers across the Southern Interior of the province throughout the Kootenays and Okanagan. It continued for almost six months and saw a number of false starts as the two sides attempted negotiation and mediation. Both sides finally agreed to binding interest arbitration just prior to Christmas, which allowed the locked out employees to return to work while the final settlement is decided by the arbitrator. The year also heard rumblings of labour unrest in the education sector as provincial educational workers, represented by the Canadian

Union of Public Employees (CUPE) entered into negotiations with the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association. Summer threats of job action were narrowly averted when the two sides reached a deal for a wage increase of 3.5 per cent over the length of the contract in September. The new contract, which included a 1 per cent retroactive raise, a 2 per cent raise Feb 1, and another 0.5 percent on May 1, actually expires in June of 2014 and sets the stage for another round of uncertainty on the educational labour front. An issue of concern to both the local school board and the unions was the provincial government’s decision to cut local school districts out of the negotiation process and negotiate raises without increasing the amount of funding available to districts from the province. “I’m not happy that the government has decided not to fund any raises or increase in benefits themselves, that they’ve downloaded the costs onto the districts,” Roger Smith, president of CUPE Local 1285, said in late November. “The districts are already under a financial strain due to underfunding by the government.” School District 20 (SD20) managed to find funding to cover the wage increases for the current school year through a small surplus and

savings in some operational costs but struggled to identify funds to pay for the coming year’s increases without potential job cuts in the future. The issue of new funding to cover labour agreements will be of particular concern in the coming year because, in addition to the CUPE contract coming up in 2014, the B.C. Teacher’s Federation (BCTF) is still in the process of trying to negotiate a new contract as well. SD20 Board Chair, Darrel Ganzert, remains hopeful that the provincial government will increase funding to cover the costs of the new contracts. “I think the government is indicating a change in the way they’ll be doing things,” Ganzert said. “They’ve made some settlements recently, HEU (Hospital Employees’ Union) signed a new contract, it was longer term but with some increases. There is new funding there. I think it’s similar with the teachers. Boards around the province have their fingers crossed that new money will be added.” For now negotiations are between the BCTF and the provincially appointed negotiator and the hope is for no interruptions in the education system. “The system is under pressure,” said Ganzert. “Teachers and the school boards are doing all they can to make it work.” See SENSIBLE, Page 5

Year in Review
Greater Trail gets a taste of Trudeau mania The Trail Times continues its annual review of the memorable moments of 2013. This issue we review events from July to September. JULY 2 – Brian Hall of Rossland was killed in an off-road motorcycle accident. His body was discovered the following day near Casino by friends who were expecting to meet with him the previous night. 4 – As temperatures hover in the 30 C mark, residents are wondering why the Warfield Pool remains closed. Due to the wet spring and hot start to the summer, workers have been unable to complete the resurfacing project at the pool. The village has been fielding several calls from residents and are hoping to have the job complete by the end of the month. 10 – The City of Trail has submitted an offer to buy the Trail Regional Airport from the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary but the amount won’t be released to the public. The city is hoping to hear an answer to its bid in four to six weeks. 11 – Police were searching for a missing man who is presumed drowned after attempting to arrest him in Glenmerry. Police reports say Andrew Evans evaded police, jumped into the Columbia River and was last seen near Rock Island. Subsequent ground and water searches failed to locate him. His body was discovered near the Waneta Dam on July 18. 12 – Fire season heats up locally with crews extinguishing two small fires near Champion Lakes and Castlegar. 18 – Judges for the International Communities in Bloom competition arrived in

No injuries were reported. 22 – Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and his family made a stop in Trail. The family was on a tour of Western Canada and Trudeau took the opportunity to meet local residents as well as pay tribute to his brother Michel, a Rossland resident who died in an avalanche at Kokanee Lake in 1998. Hundreds of people came out to Gyro Park as Trudeau accepted gifts from the city, including a Smokies jersey, and

posed for photos. 23 – A change in the garbage contract services in Salmo created a backlash against the village. Council chambers was filled with citizens asking why the garbage contract, which has gone to a Salmo company for the past 25 years, was given to an outside company. Council replied it was acting in the best interest of the village. 25 – The FortisBC lockout of electrical workers had a ripple effect on the local construction industry. Contractors were reporting that jobs were on hold because of the lack of Fortis staff to perform tasks at job sites. ***** AUGUST 1 – The Ministry of Environment said none of the 35,000 litres of jet fuel spilled into Lemon Creek has made its way into the Columbia River. On July 26 a tanker truck delivering jet fuel for helicopters fighting forest fires overturned, spilling its load into Lemon Creek. 9 – As construction gets underway for the Victoria Street Corridor improvements, the city is forced to barricade a West Trail back alley after drivers opted to take a short cut rather than follow the specified detour. 9 – A woman died of natural causes at the Shambhala Music Festival near Salmo. The annual event attracts an influx of over 10,000 music lovers to the region. 13 – A water advisory was issued for Beaver Falls after tests revealed low levels of bacteria.

National A LOOK BACK
Lac-Megantic disaster chosen as 2013’s News Story of the Year By Andy Blatchford THE CANADIAN PRESS
LAC-MEGANTIC, Que. - Heading into 2013, Lac-Megantic was known as a quiet holiday town in a Quebec region recognized abroad for its mountaintop observatory and its inky, starry skies. The community finishes the year remembered for a deadly train crash that horrified people around the world and ignited a fire so big its rage could be seen from space. Last summer’s LacMegantic derailment, which killed 47 people and pushed the issue of rail safety into the spotlight, has been voted Canada’s 2013 News Story of the Year in the annual survey of the country’s newsrooms by The Canadian Press. Editors and news directors across Canada selected a story that circled the world after a runaway train hauling crude oil careened off the tracks and exploded, levelling dozens of buildings in the heart of town. The multiple layers to the July 6 catastrophe attracted interest with its gripping stories of survival and loss, the vast environmental consequences and the stunning images of the devastation. It also launched new debates about the continent’s boom in oil-by-rail traffic. In the News Story of the Year poll, the Lac-Megantic tragedy received nearly 31 per cent of the ballots cast. Voters were asked to either choose a story from a list of candidates or to nominate their own selection. “The Lac-Megantic disaster was one which caused everyone who lives in a small Canadian city, or town that has freight trains rumbling through it, (to) stop and ponder, ‘That could happen to me some day,’ ” said Murray Guy, assistant managing editor for the Times & Transcript in Moncton, N.B. “From the sheer enormity of the death, destruction and
upheaval for a small community’s way of life, to the shaken trust we all have in our rail safety laws, LacMegantic will likely become a red-letter day in the world of railway safety.” Adrienne Tanner, deputy editor for the Vancouver Sun, said, “Disasters don’t get any bigger. A human tragedy with a lot of political and policy implications going forward.”
in a way none of the other, more ‘serious’ stories did.” A media-monitoring firm found that the Ford story generated 1.4 times more international news coverage in 2013 than the LacMegantic disaster. But the world still took notice of the rail tragedy - in a big way. It remained a top-3 worldwide news item over the first four days following the disaster and reached as far
“The Lac-Megantic disaster was one which caused everyone who lives in a small Canadian city, or town that has freight trains rumbling through it, (to) stop and ponder. ‘That could happen to me some day.’” Murray guy
The Lac-Megantic story edged the Senate expenses scandal, which received 24 per cent of the votes. Voters who chose the Senate controversy argued it’s an issue that could bring long-lasting change to Canada. “The Senate expense story strikes a deep core visceral nerve with readers,” Jim Poling, the Hamilton Spectator’s managing editor, said of a scandal that has swamped the Prime Minister’s Office. “It’s about the money, but it’s mostly about the entitlement. It’s a story that has the potential to change the structure of government in Canada and who its leaders are.” Rob Ford, Toronto’s notorious mayor who admitted to smoking crack cocaine, finished third after amassing nearly 23 per cent of the vote. Those who selected the Ford story, which became the butt of jokes on American late-night TV shows, said they made their choice based on how much attention it grabbed around the world. “Very tough choice,” said Colin McNeil, web editor for Metro News. “But ... the Rob Ford scandal caught fire nationally and globally
away as Kuwait, India and the Philippines, says a recently released study by Montrealbased Influence Communication. “Media organizations are attracted to the dramatic (side of a story),” said Influence spokeswoman Eve Couture, who noted the crash also launched public discussions about oil-by-rail transport and prompted long investigations by authorities. “It’s a mysterious story that had many
mysterious elements: an unmanned train that hurtled down a hill that blew up a village.” The analysis also says Lac-Megantic generated more coverage within Quebec than any story since the start of the century, ahead of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti and the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The results of the News Story of the Year survey also suggest that geography played a role in the voting. The train disaster was selected by 55 per cent of newsrooms polled in Quebec, but was the top choice of only 26 per cent of the voters based outside the province. In Lac-Megantic, the mayor believes the crash that struck her community of 6,000 has potential repercussions for people across Canada and beyond. “I think this tragedy allowed the whole world to reflect on rail safety,” Colette Roy-Laroche told The Canadian Press in a recent interview at the sports centre in Lac-Megantic, about 250 kilometres east of Montreal. Roy-Laroche hopes all the attention generated by the disaster will inspire governments
and companies around the globe to push for improvements to train security. Trains returned last week to Lac-Megantic, where the economy relies on the railroad, for the first time since the derailment. For now, trains that cross through town will only carry non-hazardous materials. The community greeted the rebirth of the rail line with difficulty, as people here slowly rebuild their lives amid a prolonged grieving period. The town’s tranquil region of rolling hills, popular with outdoor enthusiasts, is perhaps best known for the nearby MontMegantic observatory. Stargazing is made easier here thanks to the internationally recognized “dark-sky reserve” that blankets the area, established through local efforts to reduce night-time light pollution. On July 6, the glow of the fire from the 1 a.m. derailment was so bright it could be seen in a NASA satellite image. The blast had obliterated dozens of buildings downtown and millions of litres of crude gushed from the rail cars into the environment.
Sensible BC doesn’t meet provincial mark From page 2 In 2013, B.C. saw a provincial campaign to decriminalize marijuana in the province as a lead up to efforts to eventually see it legalized in Canada. Although the campaign was unsuccessful in the province as a whole, petitioners were able to gather signatures from the required 10 percent of voters in the Kootenay West riding but not without a bit of controversy near the end of the campaign. The Sensible BC campaign was able to gather 200,000 of the required 300,000 signatures, succeeding in their efforts in ridings such as Columbia River-Revelstoke, Kootenay East, Kootenay West, Nelson Creston, Vancouver-Mount Pleasant, Victoria-Beacon Hill, and Westside-Kelowna. The campaign was facing an uphill battle from the start with the same requirements as the HST campaign in 2011. But where the HST campaign managed to stir up provincewide resentment to the tax imposed by the B.C. liberal government, the Sensible BC effort never appeared to catch the attention of the general public in the same way. Many petition campaigns around the province lacked enough canvassers to cover their ridings and in some situations met with direct opposition from some citizens and business owners who objected to the campaigners being in the vicinity of their businesses. Although this attempt to change the legislation of B.C. was not successful province-wide campaign organizer Dana Larsen said that it won’t be the last. “There’s no dates yet to start again but we learned a lot,” Larsen said at the end of the campaign. “We have to evolve, we have to reorganize. We’ll be back next time.”

A hopeless wish list for 2014 H
ere are a few things I’d like to see in B.C. political life in the coming year, but won’t. An orderly schedule of legislature sittings, one in the spring and one in the fall. I canvassed this topic with Premier Christy Clark in our year-end interview, and got the usual runaround about how it’s always been optional since old Gordon what’s-hisname set the schedule of sittings and elections more than a decade ago. Spring is for the budget and MLAs sit in the fall if they need to discuss legislation. They need to all right, but what governments want to do is ram it through as fast as they can, so that’s what they do. The last couple of years of this have been a sham worthy of a South American banana republic, with three chambers running simultaneously and opposition
members trying to prepare as they run down the hallways. It leads to mistakes in new laws and adds to the public’s cynicism about the whole business, but it gets things done with minimum exposure of the government to criticism. Stephen Harper would approve. A political debate about real issues, rather than just a competition to score points in an endless election campaign. I appreciate that this is hopelessly naive, but setting aside enough time to consider issues could, at least in theory, lead to that happening occasionally. Certainly the hastily staged mock combat of our legislature today isn’t winning new friends for any political party. The main growth area today is people who have given up on the whole thing. An opposition with ideas. The B.C. NDP will have

another leadership contest in 2014, and they’d better bring more modern policy to the table than they had in the last one. Remember the big issues in that pillow-fight? Me neither. I had to look them up. Health care? Local organic carrots into the hospital food. Forest industry? A job protection commissar to force the mills to stay open. Resource development? They’re for it, unless you’re against it. These guys need a Tony Blair-type makeover. They
need to be for something, and they need to leave the past behind. Media that care about more than conflict. News organizations are in bad shape these days, and the competition for a rapidly fragmenting audience is having some ugly effects. One thing that needs to go is obsessive coverage of who’s winning and who’s losing. If the news media are going to be interested mainly in the gaffes and gotcha moments, is it any surprise that’s what politicians try to provide? The Canada Post announcement that it has to wind up home delivery offers a recent example. Is it really so outrageous for the CEO to suggest that walking to the corner is good exercise? When there’s a 24-hour news cycle to fill, it’s a scandal! How many people know that Canada Post’s
unfunded pension liabilities amount to $6.5 billion, as it continues to pay a dwindling workforce to hand out mostly advertising flyers? Should they just keep doing that until they run out of cash? Are taxpayers really expected to maintain another two-tier service that’s only available to selected urban people? Facts to go with opinions. Whether it’s the government’s fantasy figures on job creation or the opposition’s arithmeticchallenged child poverty claims, serious problems can’t be understood, much less solved, without defining them accurately. Submitting government advertising to scrutiny by the Auditor General to make sure it is accurate and non-partisan would be a good place to start.

This executive vice president and approval procedure has been chief biotechnology officer. A criticized and rejected by flood of articles appeared in many important bodies of sci- newspapers and commentaentists including The Royal tors gushed that the scientific Society of Canada (RSC). In debate about GM food is over their 2001 report ‘Elements of and all agree that they are safe.

And, you guessed it: ernment. those that concluded GM foods This year’s World Food Prize, were as safe and nutritious as
atamanenko
any obtained by conventional breeding were performed by the biotech companies responsible for their commercialization. The Statement also notes the complete absence of epidemiological studies in human populations to determine if health effects might be associated with GM food consumption. Of course, without GM labeling anywhere in North America it would be scientifically impossible to trace patterns of consumption and its potential impacts. Could this be why Monsanto spends millions upon millions of dollars lobbying officials and issuing false and misleading ad campaigns to squash labeling initiatives such as those that were defeated in the recent California and Washington referendums? I have personally had meetings with two of the signatories to the Statement, Dr. Ann Clark and Dr. Gilles Seralini, and admire them for their scientific integrity. It is disturbing to see the relentless personal attacks that they and other independent scientists are forced to endure at the hands of this corrupt industry. When it comes to the science behind technologies and products which can affect our health and environment, there should be zero tolerance for such obvious conflicts of interest. Our regulators are failing all of us when they refuse to challenge industry science and propaganda with thorough and long-term independent testing. Alex Atamanenko is the MP for BC Southern Interior
‘SNo Fun Run recruiting keeners Anyone out there interested in a bit of healthy exercise to start the New Year? Nothing too ambitious of course; a lot less ambitious than hurling yourself into the Columbia River. Please say yes since us old folks who have been doing the ‘SNo Fun Run for the past 30 years or so need a bit of help to keep up the tradition. Mind you, if this sounds like a seniors’ special, there’s still life in the old dogs yet so you might be surprised. But it’s not a race, really; just a fun jog in the brisk mountain air. It’s a 5 or 10 K jog, or anything in between for
that matter, whatever feels good, up the Cascade Road from the Museum parking lot. It starts at noon on New Year’s day. No prizes for the winner, it’s not a race. The best part might be the re-hydrating afterwards while tall tales are told of how fast we used to run; when the Nooners’ Jogging Club was the scourge of the Kootenay race circuit; when Nooners really were hard to beat. See you there? Phone me at 362-5459 if you need more information. Graham Kenyon Rossland

PEOPLE/LOCAL Families rescued after night on Grey Mtn
OBITUARIES KONKIN, RONALD ALAN – On December 25, 2013 while surrounded by his family, Ronald Alan Konkin won his 4 year battle with cancer and is now whole and healed with his Father in Heaven. Ron was born in Trail, British Columbia on May 15, 1961 to Peter and Doris Konkin. He met his wife Tina in the course of ministry and they were married in 1981. Ron was a man who lived on purpose and shared the love of Christ with many. His purpose statement was “I am a strong worthy man confidently instilling in others their value and worth, and helping them discover their true potential, so they can inspire those they touch to do the same.” As founder of the Relationship BootCamp, he influenced and played a key role in the healing of many lives, marriages and families. Ron was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and son. He is survived by his wife Tina, daughters Jenny (31), Mia (9), son Josh (28), daughter-in-law Mary (28), grand-daughter Scarlett (1), sisters Esther and Donna and brother Tom. A celebration of his life will be held on Thursday, January 2, 2014 at 4:30pm at Coastal Church in Vancouver, BC. A second memorial will be livestreamed at www.influencechurch.org on Jan 5th at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Life Exchange in support of the healing of families through Relationship BootCamp in honour of Ron’s life, work and legacy. *** BLAKEWAY: SUSAN ANN (MACNICOL) – was born on May 16,1955 in Trail and passed away suddenly on Dec. 23, 2013 at age 58. Sue is predeceased by her parents Nellie MacNicol, Bruce
MacNicol, and brother Larry MacNicol. She is survived by her husband Jim, daughters Elizabeth and Emily, sons-inlaw Darren and Jordan, and baby granddaughter Eliette. Sue was born and raised in Trail and left in her early 20’s to travel and work in Victoria and Calgary. She returned to Trail where she met the love of her life and best friend, married, and began a long and rewarding, 34-year career at Selkirk College. Sue worked with and for a number of departments and schools across the Trail and Castlegar campuses. She approached her work (and family life) with dedication, humor and compassion. She was more than a colleague to those whom she worked most closely with; she was a valued member of the Selkirk community and a dear, dear friend to many. Sue was perhaps best known for the immense love and pride she had for her family. She was thrilled with the recent arrival of her first grandbaby – the light of her life. She approached her family with a gentle patience, strong moral compass and sense of adventure. Together with her husband and family, Sue traveled to Australia, South America and New York. She wanted nothing more than for her friends and family to be happy. She was generous in her giving to others, whether it be lending an ear or rallying around friends in need. From the day-to-day interactions to the major milestones, Sue will forever be missed and always in the hearts and minds of family and friends. She would remind us all “don’t sweat the small stuff” and “treat others as we ourselves would like to be treated”. A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00pm on January 4th, 2013 at Selkirk College, 301 Frank Beinder Way, Castlegar BC. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Sue Blakeway Memorial Scholarship at Selkirk College. The family of Jim Blakeway wishes to thank the incredible support of family, friends and neighbors, as well as the dedicated community at Selkirk College, the medical team at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital and the efforts of the first responders.

Two families with children ranging from ages six to 18 spent a cold night on Grey Mountain after finding themselves lost in the back country Sunday afternoon. The 10 skiers were located uninjured around midnight by Rossland Search and Rescue (SAR) and were in the process of being extricated from the back side of the mountain by an RCMP helicopter commissioned from Castlegar, by press time Monday. “It’s one of those things that can happen,” said Graham Jones, director for Rossland’s SAR. “Getting into a difficult situation that is not anticipated is what we are here for,” he continued. “We are here to help them come back safe and ski another day.” The skiers, all residents of Washington, found themselves disoriented around 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon on the back of the mountain and decided to hunker down and wait for rescue, according to Jones. “They knew darkness was approaching so they lit a fire and tried to stay warm which is the smart thing to do.” Rossland SAR was alerted to the overdue skiers at 5:30 p.m. that

The chairlift on Grey Mountain opened for the first time Dec. 14, which expanded the area with access to over 1,000 acres of skiing. evening after an initial investigation by the Trail detachment determined the skiers were indeed missing. By 7 p.m. SAR was on the hill and after covering the perimeter of Grey when the rescue team located a number of tracks leading into the bush. Nine responders followed that trail and eventually caught up to the group. “Due to the lack of snow this year, the terrain is not very friend-
ly and has rockery,” explained Jones. “Instead of floundering through all the brush the families stayed in one spot,” he said, “They came for a day of skiing and unintentionally ended up away from the ski area.” Rossland SAR members along with the families were being flown off the mountain by chopper Monday afternoon, four at a time. “No one was injured and all were accounted for,” confirmed Cpl.
Dave Johnson from the Trail and Greater District RCMP detachment. “The process of shuttling out the groups is currently in progress and is expected to be completed today (Monday).” A new chapter at Red Resort began when the chairlift on Grey Mountain opened for the first time Dec. 14, which expanded the area with access to over 1,000 acres of skiing. Red Mountain Resort did not respond to inquiries by press time Monday.
Teck zinc discharge into Columbia prompts shutdown BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
Discharging higher than permitted levels of zinc into the Columbia River had Teck Trail Operations temporarily grinding to a halt last week. Zinc effluent, released through a river outfall point, measured up to 40 per cent higher in concentrate than the plant’s allowable daily limit. Teck reported initial sampling indicated 250 kilograms (kg) of the heavy metal was detected compared to the permitted daily limit of 175 kg. Water containing zinc dust overflowed into a drain Dec. 22, leading to the increase of zinc
discharge into the river, confirmed Carol Vanelli-Worosz, Teck’s community engagement coordinator. The plant’s monitoring system detected the incident and operations were immediately shutdown to correct the source before restarting on Dec. 23, said Worosz. “While the cause was corrected in about 30 minutes the plants didn’t restart until the following day,” she explained. “We waited for confirmation from our monitoring that the incident had been completely addressed.” The release didn’t create any health or safety risk to people, fish or wildlife, continued Worosz, other than potential short-term
impacts on aquatic life at the outfall point. “We take the incident very seriously and are conducting a full investigation,” she said. “Which will include a third-party environmental impact assessment to determine what, if any, impact occurred to the river.” The incident was reported to the Provincial Emergency Program, that in turn notified the BC Ministry of Environment and Environment Canada. Heavy metals are natural components of the earth’s crust but can be dangerous because they cannot be degraded or destroyed and over time bio-accumulate in living organisms.

Beaver Valley Nitehawk forward Mitch Foyle squeezes this shot through Nelson Leafs goalie Brad Rebagliati as the Hawks skated to a 6-2 win Sunday in KIJHL action at the B.V. Arena.
Nitehawks soaring in December By Jim Bailey
Times Sports Editor
The Beaver Valley Nitehawks won their ninth game in a row and took over sole possession of first place in the Neil Murdoch division for the first time this season with a convincing 6-2 victory over the Nelson Leafs Sunday at the Beaver Valley Arena. While the Leafs still have a game in hand, the Nitehawks have been unbeatable of late sweeping a pair of games over the Castlegar Rebels 6-4 Friday and 8-4 Saturday before facing the Leafs. Since their last loss on December 6 versus Spokane, they have outscored
the opposition 48-16, giving them the best goal differential, plus-61, and goals against, 95, in the KIJHL. Hawks’ forward Russell Mortlock would net the winner when he broke in on the right side and rifled a shot over the glove of Nelson goalie Brad Rebagliati to put B.V. up 3-1 at 11:23 of the second period. The Hawks Braden Fuller tipped in an Archie McKinnon point blast to open the scoring at 8:07, but Carson Willans would even it with just over two minutes to play. The Hawks outshot the Leafs 12-7 in the first period but remained deadlocked at 1-1 after one.
However, B.V. would dominate in the second period peppering Rebagliati with 22 shots, and despite some highlightreel saves the Hawks would solve the Cranbrook native when McKinnon used Riley Brandt as a screen and blasted a low shot past the Leafs goalie to go up 2-1 five minutes in. After Mortlock made it 3-1, Brandt feathered a perfect pass by the defender sending in Mitch Foyle all alone on the Leafs goalie and the Fruitvale native made no mistake going backhand, forehand before wristing under Rebagliati’s arm to put the Hawks up by three.

THE CANADIAN PRESS MALMO, Sweden - Jonathan Drouin tied the game and Nic Petan got the gamewinner late in the third period as Canada posted a comeback 5-3 victory over Slovakia at the world junior championship on Monday. Petan added an empty net goal in the final minute. Team scoring leader Anthony Mantha had a goal and three assists while Curtis Lazar also scored for Canada (2-0-1). The result guaranteed Canada one of the top two placings in their preliminary round group heading into the final group stage game today against the undefeated United States (3-0-0). David Griger, with two, and Martin Reway scored for Slovakia (1-2-0), which can clinch third place with a win over the Czech Republic. Drouin tied the game at 14:02 of the third period after
Mantha beat 16-yearold Erik Cernak behind the Slovak goal and fed it in front. Canada was on a power play when Petan walked out from the right side and threaded a goal through traffic. Canada had to battle back from a 3-1 second-period deficit against a Slovak side playing a tight trap and leaning on the power play with the highly skilled unit of Reway, Griger and Milan Kolena for goals. In Group B, Finland beat Russia 4-1, leaving both teams 2-10. Saku Maenalanen, Rasmus Kulmala, Henrik Haapala and Joni Nikko scored for Finland. Today Sweden (3-00) will face Russia, and Finland will play Switzerland. If Russia and Finland win in regulation to tie Sweden, the two spots in the playoff round will be decided by goal differential in the games among the three teams.

AM Ford’s December
THE CANADIAN PRESS D A V O S , Switzerland - A strong start and a textbook finish made up for a second-period slump as Canada advanced to the semifinals of the Spengler Cup with a 6-3 win over the Rochester Americans on Sunday. Byron Ritchie and Jacob Micflikier each scored twice to lead the way for Canada, which jumped out to a 3-0 first-period lead before letting Rochester back into the game in the second. “It was nice to go into the locker-room after the first period with that lead but you had the feeling it wasn’t over,” Canada coach Doug Shedden said. “Then a couple of mistakes, a couple of little things and in this business you just can’t make those little mistakes because they add up to big things, and once they made it 4-3 we had a monster on our hands.” Canada was able to re-establish momentum in the third period, and two more goals put the game out of reach. Canada will play Swiss club HC Geneve-Servette in Monday’s semifinal. Geneve-Servette had

The game will reunite Shedden and Geneve-Servette head coach Chris McSorley, who was an assistant coach for Canada when it won last year’s Spengler Cup. After starting sluggishly in a 3-2 loss against host HC Davos on Saturday, Canada came out flying against the Americans. Derrick Walser also scored for Canada, while Ahren Spylo added three assists. Chris Mason got the start in goal for Canada and gave up three goals over 22 shots over the first 40 minutes. He left after the second period with an injured groin. Team Canada’s lineup includes former Trail Smoke Eater Travis Roche and Nelson Leafs sniper Geoff Kinrade. Host HC Davos will face CSKA Moscow in the other semifinal.
Leafs crumble under pressure
FROM PAGE 11 Nelson seemed deflated and frustrated in the third. A sloppy play in their own end on the power play led to the Hawks fifth goal, a shorthanded marker by Dallas Calvin. The Leafs defender gift wrapped the puck for Taylor Stafford’s behind the net and Stafford quickly backhanded it to a wide open Calvin in front of the net, who fired it into the open side. The Leafs would finally get one on the power play when Robson Cramer beat Clark at 8:30 of the third but Fuller would score his second of the night at 4:59 to put the game on ice, and blow the Leafs out of top spot. The Hawks-Leafs meet again tonight at the Nelson District Rec Complex at 7 p.m.

TV LISTINGS Death delays movie THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Universal Pictures has delayed the release of “Fast & Furious 7” for almost a year following the death of star Paul Walker. The studio announced Monday that the “Fast & Furious” sequel will be released in April 2015, instead of July. Shooting on the film was about halfway finished when the 40-year-old Walker died in a car crash outside of Los Angeles. Walker will still appear in the film, though Universal has not said exactly how it will handle his unfinished performance. Co-star Vin Diesel first posted the news on Facebook, telling his fans that, “He’d want you to know first.” The franchise has been one of Universal’s most lucrative, grossing almost $2.4 billion worldwide since 2001. The last film, “Fast & Furious 6,” made $789 million.

Addictions require effort to overcome Mailbox

usual and hope for the best? -- Concerned Spouse Dear Spouse: If you are going into debt, please don’t shove this under the carpet until you are living on the street. Your husband seems to be a compulsive buyer, and it can be similar to other addictions that require effort to overcome. Is he willing to recognize and address the problem? (Therapy can help.) Would he be willing to let you handle the family finances while he is put on a cash allowance? You also can contact Debtors Anonymous (debtorsanonymous.org) and the International OCD
you’re “never invited.” Instead, talk to your daughter. Ask whether there is a problem and what you can do about it. She may have reasons for keeping you at a distance, so please make her understand that you cannot fix things if you don’t know what the issues are. If she still doesn’t invite you to her place, ask whether the children can visit at your house. As long as you can see your family, it really doesn’t matter where. Dear Annie: “Too Late To Try Again” said she was cut off by a relative with no explanation. This happened in my family. Tell her it might help if she can laugh about the situation. I am from an Italian family and married into another Italian family. My new mother-in-law was angry with her cousin “Angela.” They had been close for a long time, but then they didn’t speak for
years. When Angela died, my mother-in-law cried buckets but refused to go to the funeral. She said, “We didn’t talk when she was alive, and I’m not going to talk to her now that she’s dead.” So I asked my moth-
er-in-law what the argument was about, because it was obviously so terrible that good friends stopped speaking. She replied, with tears in her eyes, “I don’t remember!” But true to her word, she did not go to the funeral. -- New York

Foundation (ocfoundation.org) for information and referrals. Dear Annie: Fifteen years ago, our daughter married a truly nice guy, and they made it clear right away that they didn’t want “dropin” visitors. I understood this, as they both work full time. Three years ago, they bought a large home close to us, but in all the years they’ve been married, we can count on one hand the number of times we’ve been invited over for anything, including the kids’ birthdays, cookouts, etc. Yet I know my daughter’s in-laws are often invited. Our grandchildren ask why we never come to their house, and I simply say it’s because we’re never invited. What should I say? -Confused in Indiana Dear Indiana: Please stop manipulating the children to get to the parents, which is exactly what you are doing when you tell them

Dear Annie: For the past several years, my husband has taken out a new credit card each January and maxed it out over the next 12 months. This has resulted in major debt, which I fear will devastate our family and possibly affect our children and grandchildren. My husband is a good and caring person who often picks up the restaurant tabs for our friends and family and buys them gifts they could buy for themselves. As a result, he is extremely popular. If I try to limit these unnecessary expenses, everyone thinks I’m a spoilsport. We are approaching the time where he will apply for another new credit card. Should I prohibit this until we reach some agreement on budget cuts? Should I let him go ahead and get the new card and then try to negotiate budget cuts? Or do I keep on trucking as

We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks for the love and support given to us at the passing of George, our beloved husband, father and grandfather. Many thanks for the cards, gifts, donations, phone calls, flowers, masses and visits. Thank you to Father David John and Servers, St. Rita’s Choir, organist Elizabeth Stephens, St. Rita’s Catholic Women’s League and kitchen staff who made the service a very special day. We thank the staff and friends at Castleview Care Centre and Castle Wood Village, Dr. Larocque, Ministry to the Sick, and visitations by the parishioners of St. Rita’s for the care and attention over the years. The kind thoughts and donations by relatives, friends and neighbours, KRUNA, Alex Atamanenko and staff, Katrine Conroy and staff, and the Technical Support Department of Teck Metals, were sincerely appreciated. Thank you to the Castlegar Funeral Home for making arrangements.

is looking for paper carriers in all areas for one day a week
With our gratitude to you all, Mila Richards, Greg, Louise, Beatrice, Tim and Shirley, and families.
Business People! We’d like to be able to explain to you all the advantages of a newspaper in a 30-second radio message...
...but if we tried it would be impossible to do. (18... 17... 16...)
In 30 seconds, how can we explain all the flexibility in sizes based on your needs, the impact of colour and reversals, placement, rebate coupons, inserts, banners... no really, in 30 seconds, it’s impossible to deliver an adequate message.
Call
(6... 5... 4...)
Exactly... it’s time to shop since the 30 seconds is already up!
For advertising that gives you an intelligent way to deliver your message, and provides the right message to the consumer, consider...
