Bryan Adams' “Bares Bones” acoustic concert is set to rock Trail Monday and the anticipation continues to rise in a community that had fans lining up to purchase tickets just after 4 a.m. when tickets were released this winter. Fruitvale's Loren Koerber laughed when her sister-in-law Irene Haas suggested they (along with friend Sandy Ravestein) meet up at that hour Dec. 1 when the tickets went on sale. But it turned out she couldn't sleep anyways. Armed with lawn chairs, blankets, snacks and, of course, coffee, the three sat it out until doors opened at 10 a.m., watching as the line grew down the street and around the corner of the Greater Trail Community Centre that houses the Charles Bailey Theatre. “I don't see too many things in my life but to me he ranks up there with the Eagles,” said Koerber. “Bands like the Eagles, Aerosmith and Bryan Adams, they are bands that are timeless, you'll listen to them forever and their music never gets old.” Adams is one of the world's most highly acclaimed musicians whose career has spanned more than three decades. Constantly in demand, the celebrated rocker is on the road over 120 days a year playing rock n' roll favourites ("Summer of 69", "Run To You", "18 'Til I Die", "It's Only Love", "Somebody", "The Only Thing That

Looks Good On Me Is You") to sold out audiences on six continents. Koerber said she would have lined up at 2 a.m. if it meant securing the second row back, smack in the middle tickets she scored. Most buyers showed up to purchase their tickets in person, rather than taking their chances on an over-the-phone purchase that could have ended in a busy signal, according to theatre manager Mark Daines of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary. He first met Adams as an 18 year old working security for his dressing room back in 1982 during the “You Want It, You Got It” tour in his hometown Kingston, Ont. “Of course at first I was in disbelief that a big star such as Bryan Adams would come to Trail to play in a 700-seat venue, but hey if Kurt Russell came here to shoot the movie 'The Miracle,' then I guess anything is possible,” he said. Adams was unavailable for an interview Thursday but his tour manager spokesperson managed to find out just why Trail was a good fit. “With the full band rock shows either the routing or the venue size has not worked in our favour,” Adams was quoted via email. “But with the intimate acoustic tour, the Charles Bailey Theatre was a perfect fit.” The response shows the potential of the theatre and market, said Daines, who said the show ($105 for a ticket) has raised the bar in terms of what the market is willing to pay for entertainment.

Nominations process begins for Citizen of the Year BY ART HARRISON Times Staff

The April 4 deadline may seem like it's a long way off still but the call is already going out for nominations for the 2014 Trail-Warfield Citizen of the Year. “We probably won't be

getting any nominations until fairly close to the deadline,” said Citizen of the Year committee member, Brian Volpatti. “It does take some time, we want a bit of a presentation or biography on the nominee. It doesn't have to

be long but it's important to cover what the individual has done in the community.” Like many smaller communities, the Trail-Warfield area relies heavily on the commitment of a small army of volunteers to plan,

coordinate, and work on numerous projects and events around the community. Most cultural and community-based festivals and celebrations, faith-based activities, youth groups, and recreation and sports

activities would never happen if it weren't for the many people who give of their personal time to support these events and the communities would be much poorer for the lack of them. See GROUP, Page 2

Tickets sold out in four hours

FROM PAGE 1 EZ Rock radio personality Wayne Kelly said he drove by before starting his early shift that morning and saw four people standing in front of the door. The first person arrived at 4:30 a.m., according to the local radio station that tracked attendance throughout its morning show. “In this day and age of instant Internet sellouts . . . it was like we went back in time to actually have to line up if we wanted to go,” he said. “You know every person who will be at that show worked hard to get a ticket!” Tickets sold out in a record “In terms of future time of four prospects, just hours, said convincing the Daines. He attributes this to the bigger national market demopromoters to take graphic and a risk on smaller demand, noting that Gordon remote venues is a Lightfoot is big first step.” set to perform Mark Daines in Trail this October and though tickets went on sale last month, there are still just over 650 left. Other highly successful performers that have made a point to coming to Trail include Tom Cochrane with Red Rider, Colin James, Natalie McMaster, Jan Arden, Rita McNeil, Randy Bachman and comedian Ron James. Daines sees smaller venue shows as a new trend for performers who’ve already travelled the world, stopping in large centres, and are looking to come “full circle and return to their roots.” “In terms of future prospects, just convincing the bigger national promoters to take a risk on smaller remote venues is a big first step,” he added. Debra Barembruch, part owner of Amore’s Ristorante in Trail, is trying to do some convincing on her end, too. The restaurant in the Gulch is open Monday for a pre-concert dinner that includes a threecourse meal featuring ossobuco, a specialty of cross-cut veal shanks braised with vegetables, white wine and broth. The Canadian icon’s voice will already be heard in the background but the hope is that he’ll actually stop in for some Trail hospitality. “We’ll be playing his music and I’m attempting to get him to pop in,” she said. “I haven’t got confirmation yet but I’ve got a few strings that are being pulled so hopefully that will happen and at some point he’ll be able to pop in before he goes down to the concert.” Koerber and her enthusiastic gang look to make reservations at the restaurant that is already filling up fast. Her heart was stolen by Adams early on when he won her over not only with his voice but his lyrics. “I love musicians who can not only sing but they’re songwriters, too,” she said. “I just love his music. When I was growing up in the teenage years . . . you know songs like ‘Summer of 69’ were just perfect songs that fit.”

Relaxed rules for Olympic final doesn’t entice local bars By Art Harrison Times Staff

While the teams going to the medal round of Olympic men's hockey were just determined this morning in the Sweden/Finland and Canada/U.S. semifinals, the provincial government was hedging its bets Thursday that Canada would be in the final game. The B.C. Ministry of Justice announced that it would relax the B.C. liquor laws and allow bars and pubs to extend their opening hours to allow patrons to remain in their establishments to watch the men's Olympic hockey gold medal game, which airs at 4 a.m. Sunday morning in B.C. Subject to local government bylaws, pubs and bars will be able to remain open, provided no alcohol is served, in order to watch the game on the large screen TV's that have become a fixture

CASTLEGAR –A 37-yearold Lillooet man is in police custody after an incident that occurred in downtown Castlegar in the early evening hours on Tuesday. RCMP received several calls of someone in the neighbourhood driving a vehicle intentionally into cars that were parked in peoples’ driveways. The male driver, who is

believed that the male was travelling through Castlegar on his way to Lillooet, then abandoned his car on a lawn and was standing nearby. When a few people tried to approach him, he pulled a knife and waved them off. When police arrived, the male still had the knife. He eventually dropped the knife very close to his feet. The male was sprayed with

OC spray, and after a significant struggle, he was taken into custody. The male was taken to hospital to receive medical attention, however he suffered no injury. A small quantity of what is believed to be Meth was located on the male, and a significant quantity of marijuana was also located and seized. It was learned that the

male had driven his vehicle into a business, and a detached residential garage. He also struck a parked van and pushed it into the garage door of the residence where it was parked. He also struck a parked SUV at a neighbouring property, forcing it to hit the residence where it was parked. Extensive property damage was incurred as a result of this incident.

want to sit around drinking water or coffee for four hours waiting for the game.” In addition to the restrictions on serving alcohol, managers would have little time to arrange for additional staffing to extend their hours through the night. “I wouldn't see a great demand for a bar to stay open and serve coffee,” said Paul Gluska, manager of the Flying Steamshovel, in Rossland. “We've had pretty good crowds for some of the Olympic events but I don't think this would draw enough to be worth it,” “I don't really have the staff to do it. I'd have to bring in another shift to work from 2 till 6 a.m. I wouldn't be surprised if some people have private parties in their homes but it's not likely something we'd be doing.”

However, interest in local bars and pubs appears to be limited. “We hadn't really thought about it,” said Len Fuller, general manager of the Villager's Pub in Fruitvale, on Thursday afternoon. “We won't be staying open, although, if Canada gets past the States (Friday) we might re-think it. I think it might be more of a Vancouver thing though.” Although hours may be extended, bars will have to observe the existing licensed liquor service hours and their regular last calls and the earliest that liquor can be served in B.C. is 9 a.m. “I think in a small community it won't be that much of a big deal,” said Jeff Boag, owner-manager of the Arlington Hotel in Trail. “We'd still have our 12 a.m. last call and I don't think our patrons would

City hopes public backs $42 million police building BY ALISTAIR WATERS Kelowna Capital News

Kelowna is ready to borrow $42.4 million to pay for a new police building. And it hopes the public is ready to let it do so. On Monday, city council approved a plan to put the borrowing proposal to what is known as the alternative approval process, where the onus is put on opponents to the

proposal to fill out official petition forms and return them the city clerks office at City Hall if they are against the city proceeding. If 10 per cent of eligible voters (9,484) object and fill out forms correctly, the city will either have to kill the project or put it to a referendum vote. The city says it is saving $60,000 by not holding a referendum

on the borrowing. In the past, when the city has used the AAP to borrow money, the number of opponents filing out forms has bee, relatively small. Opponents will have five weeks to register their opposition. Forms can be picked up at City Hall or the Parkinson Recreation Centre and must be returned by close of

business March 28. Prior to the deadline, the city will hold two open houses, Match 6 and 10 to explain the project to the public. The open house are slated for the Royal Anne Hotel and will run from 3:30 p.m. to 6 :30 p.m. each day On Monday, city councillors urged voters not to oppose the borrowing. “Borrowing is the only way to go,” said Coun. Andre Blanliel. “It’s better to borrow the money than to take it out of taxation.” Calling a new police building a necessity for the city, not an “extra,” he said the existing police building on Doyle Avenue, parts of which dates back to the 1960s, has come to end of its useful life as the city’s public safety centre. And, he added, if Kelowna does not built a new police building, the RCMP could do so and charge the city

back the cost. That, he said, would give the city no control over the project or its cost. On the city’s website, it says it is using the AAP because it has to build a new building to house the RCMP and wants to manage the process itself. Borrowing the money would create what Blanleil called intergenerational borrowing, spreading the cost out over future generations that will benefit from the new facility. The new building is slated for city owned land on Clement Avenue. It would replace the exiting Doyle Avenue building which has had two major additions and renovations over the years, as well as other minor work. That building is said to be too small, too old and not suitable for expansion, retrofit or retention as the city’s public safety nerve centre.

COMOX

Ski season salvaged BY SCOTT STANFIELD Comox Valley Record

The ski season has been salvaged at Mount Washington Alpine Resort. Most of the front side of the mountain is open in the alpine, as is the nordic centre and tube park. The mountain, which reopened a week ago, received more than 100 centimetres of snow over the weekend. The total in the past week was 210 centimetres, resort spokesperson Brent Curtain said Monday. Until last week, minimal amounts of snow had prevented the mountain from opening in December and January. “That snowfall really does set us up for the rest of the winter season,” Curtain said. “We said we’d reopen and that’s what we’ve done. Most of the runs are open. Basically, we’re in mid-winter conditions. “The only thing we’re waiting on is the outback, which is the backside of the mountain. That’s steeper terrain that requires a little more snow. We’re pretty close to getting that open as well.”

NANAIMO

Water use concerns BY KARL YU

Nanaimo Bulletin

Despite recent precipitation, the City of Nanaimo and Regional District of Nanaimo are still expressing concern about the possibility of low water supply in the summer. Regional district water services manager Mike Donnelly and City of Nanaimo manager of water resources Bill Sims were among water officials taking part in a meeting earlier this month to discuss the effect of the drierthan-usual winter. Donnelly said groundwater sources were slow to recover in the fall and reservoirs aren’t being replenished as they normally would. Donnelly said that the current snowpack is about 28 per cent of normal (the average between 1981 and 2010). He said it was at seven per cent two weeks ago. “Certainly, if we hadn’t seen that switch that came by that started about 10 days ago with increased precipitation and snow, it would be adding concern,” said Donnelly. “We’ve got somewhat of a reprieve there but we’re still watching it because we actually need quite a bit of snowpack to help us through into the summer and quite a bit of precipitation to fill our reservoirs to the level we need them to be at.” He said water managers will begin preaching water conservation earlier this year because of the current situation. Sims said the city is concerned but is not panicking yet and it’s too early to say what the implications are for the summer.

Denis Gunn GUNN, Denis was born on October 20,1950 in Trail, BC. He passed away on February 5, 2014 at the wonderful North Shore Hospice facility with his three children, Jennifer, Sarah and Chris by his side. Denis truly appreciated and was thankful for all the love, support and gifts he received from his friends and family during his time of need. Denis was a talented musician well-known within the local community. Rossland locals would remember him performing in an array of local bands like “ The Albert Fick Band” and in many other solo and duet performances. The “Kettle River” album is an example his various musical recordings involving the Kootenay community and culture. Denis was treasured and will be missed by many. A ceremony celebrating his life will take place later this year along his beloved Kettle River date to be announced. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the BC Cancer Agency or any hospice facility.

Oilsands tailings leaking into river equipment purchased in 2010 to help answer such questions, allows scientists to actually fingerprint chemicals and trace them back to where they came from. “Differentiation of natural from (tailings water) sources was apparent,” says the study.

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - New Democrats hope to spark broad Canadian interest in a proposed Conservative rewrite of the elections rule book after the Winter Olympics wrap up this weekend. The NDP will debate a votable motion in Parliament on Monday seeking approval of cross-country committee hearings on the sweeping Elections Act overhaul. The Harper government rushed the legislation, dubbed the Fair Elections Act, through second reading in the House of Commons by using its majority to limit debate. The government has already ridiculed the idea of travelling public hearings as a “circus” and a “gong show” - although Commons committees routinely travel to conduct hearings on a variety of subjects. D a v i d Christopherson, the NDP deputy leader, said Thursday that never before have significant electoral reforms been made in Canada without input from the opposition parties and the advice of the chief electoral officer, among others. “Think about it:

I’m feeling

Did one country get to set the rules for the Olympics? No,” Christopherson fumed. “Everybody participated so that it was agreed ahead of time what the rules would be. “That’s what we’re talking about. We’re talking about the rules of our election and are they fair.” A spokeswoman for Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative minister for democratic reform, did not directly respond to a question about why the government opposes public hearings on the legislation. Gabrielle RenaudMattey instead pointed to the NDP’s initial opposition to the reforms, which were introduced 16 days ago without any advance briefing for MPs or the chief electoral officer. “The NDP declared its opposition to the Fair Elections Act before reading a single word of it,” RenaudMattey said in an

Treatment Evenings and Saturdays for now available

email. The NDP says it welcomes debate, but not when it’s held behind closed doors in a committee room in Ottawa. The committee should take its deliberations out to Canadians where they live and vote, said Christopherson. “In a healthy modern democracy, even though a majority government has 100 per cent of the power, the court of public opinion trumps all.” The legislation runs well over 200 pages and effectively divides Elections Canada, the watchdog that oversees election fairness, by putting its investigative powers in a separate office. It creates a new registry for automated party phone calls, but gives the commissioner of elections no new powers to quickly get to the bottom of concerns, such as the asyet unresolved fraudulent robocalls from the 2011 election.

THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - New federal research has strongly backed suspicions that toxic chemicals from Alberta’s vast oilsands tailings ponds are leaching into groundwater and seeping into the Athabasca River. Leakage from oilsands tailings ponds, which now cover 176 square kilometres, has long been an issue. Industry has acknowledged that seepage can occur and previous studies using models have estimated it at 6.5 million litres a day from a single pond. The soil around the developments contains many chemicals from naturally occurring bitumen deposits and scientists have never able to separate them from contaminants released by industry.

Refusal to pronounce names correctly disrespectful

T

here was a storm of controversy last week after an antiCBC talking head spouted off on a supposed news program, criticizing CBC Olympic commentators and newscasters for trying to correctly pronounce the names of French Canadian athletes. I use the word “correctly” because I take particular offense at the laziness many English Canadians show when speaking their own language. Recently, I did a telephone interview with a chef in Kelowna. After a half-hour conversation I thanked him for his time, and complimented him on his speech. “It’s a pleasure to speak to someone who speaks in full sentences and even paragraphs,” I said. “Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do?” he responded. It is, but it is certainly not the norm. We tend to rush through our thoughts, letting our mouths get ahead of our

brains. The result is a peppering of “likes” and “you knows” substituting for thoughtful pauses. The English language has a long history of refusing to acknowledge pronunciation and spelling from other languages. How else to explain our pronunciation of Paris, which in French is Par-ee, or Rome, which in Italian is Roma, or Munich, which in German is München? I usually put it down to an arrogant vestige of the British Empire, that vast global influence where the sun never set. Firenze became Florence, España became Spain, Sverige became Sweden, and so on. In 1995, Bombay was renamed Mumbai at the insistence of an Indian nationalist party, which argued that Bombay was an unwanted relic of British colonialism (the name was actually a Portuguese invention 500 years ago). Why use local pronunciation when you can assert your own smug sense of superiority simply by assigning different

ECKERSLEY This is the Life

names? That arrogance extends to our own history, where North American indigenous tribes were lumped together as Indians, such a confusing practice that we still often refer to residents of India as “East Indians”, making it sound like they are foreigners in their own country. It wasn’t much different for non-English people who arrived on North American shores and assigned more common (or more easily pronounced) names on their immigration paperwork. Welcome to Canada, Frank. I take particular offense

to the anglicizing of names because I grew up with a father who deliberately, almost religiously, refused to pronounce French names correctly. For him, the despised Montreal Canadiens included Gene Beliveau, Jacks Laperriere and Patrick Roy (appropriately rhyming with “boy”). For some reason, Don Cherry remains on the airwaves despite the same disrespectful approach. People use all kinds of strategies to gain a sense of superiority and control over others, but few are as blatant as refusing to make the effort to pronounce words and, especially, names correctly. And maybe, just maybe, our general refusal to speak clearly, enunciating our words, is simply another strategy, one intended to cover up our intentional disrespect of other languages. A post on Facebook the other day brought that notion to mind: “I think the whoever put the R in February is the same guy who put the

N in Wednesday.” Break the words down into their syllables — Febru-ar-y and Wed-nes-day — and they are quite easy to pronounce. But try to use them with speed and it’s a whole different matter. Feb-u-ar-y and Wensday are the result. Not that mispronunciations are necessarily a bad thing. When our telephone rings and the caller asks for Lorn-ee or An-JELL-a, I know immediately that it’s a telemarketer or scam artist and respond accordingly. Occasionally, I tell the caller that the person he or she is requesting died recently, then start sobbing at the thought of the loss. It’s enough to end the call quickly. But I digress. I’ll admit that not all names and words, even those in our native language, are easily pronounceable. To make no effort whatsoever is the height of rudeness or disrespect, though.

as issues with current fracking. Ceres’ study only looks at fracking impacts on freshwater supplies, and offers recommendations to reduce those, including recycling water, using brackish or wastewater, strengthening regulations and finding better ways to dispose of fracking wastewater. But the drilling method comes with other environmental problems, from groundwater contamination to massive ecosystem and habitat disruption – even small earth tremors – all done in the name of short-term gain. It’s important to heed the conclusions and recommendations of this study and others, but given the problems with fracking, and other forms of extraction, we must find ways to control our insatiable fossil fuel demand. That burning these – often wastefully – contributes to climate change, and our methods of extraction exacerbate the problems, should make us take a good look at how we’re treating this planet and everything on it, including ourselves and generations to come. It’s a reminder that we need to conserve energy in every way possible. In the short term, we must realize that we have better ways to create jobs and build the economy than holding an “everything must go” sale on our precious resources. In the longer term, we must rethink our outdated economic systems, which were devised for times when resources were plentiful and infrastructure was scarce. Our highest priorities must be the air we breathe, the water we drink, the soil that provides food and the biodiversity that keeps us alive and healthy.

Canadians more optimistic about retirement

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Canadians are feeling increasingly optimistic when it comes to retirement. A Sun Life survey conducted in November has found that, on average, Canadians now expect they will be able to retire by age 66. That’s one year earlier than the average response in a survey a year ago and down from age 69 in a survey in 2011. Sun Life Canada president Kevin Dougherty says Canadians are starting to feel better as they put more time between themselves and the financial crisis of a few years ago. “2011 was a couple of years into the (financial) crisis, and I think it had really been weighing on people,” Dougherty said. “It’s now five years . . . (since the crisis hit) and we’re seeing that people are feeling better.” However, while respondents on average feel more optimistic about their chances of retiring near the traditional age of 65, those closest to

retirement are still unsure. The survey found so-called Baby Boomers, those age 55 to 65, on average don’t expect to retire until age 67, with many saying they think they will need to work much longer. When asked how satisfied they were with their retirement savings, 38 per cent of respondents overall said they were satisfied, up from 34 per cent last year. Eighty per cent said they were confident they will be able to “take care of basic living expenses” in retirement, while 71 per cent were confident about their ability to “take care of medical expenses” in retirement, compared with 69 per cent the year before. “These year-over-year increases are small to be sure, but together, they appear to indicate a reversal in the pessimism that has been so much a part of this study since 2010,” the report said. “Clearly, it is premature to call it a trend, but answers to several questions point to an easing of the anxiety.”

Offences How many people do you know that have been hurt or offended by other people’s actions or words? Jesus said in Luke 17:1,“ It is impossible but that offences will come.” The question is what will you do when they come? Proverbs 4:23 commands us to guard our hearts above all else, for the heart determines the course of our life Bitterness, anger, low self-esteem are a few of the many emotions we deal with when we are offended. Many of us hold on to these offences to our own detriment. We carry them into relationships and pass them on to succeeding generations. The only way to end these offences is to forgive. Forgiveness is the wings that let us rise above our accusers and abusers and break their control over us; otherwise we are captive to their words and actions. Jesus taught us to forgive and in His lowest moment on the cross He said, “Father forgive them”. Today, if you have not experienced the Father’s forgiveness, I encourage you to ask Him. He is willing to forgive you no matter what you have done, and to empower you to forgive others. Will you take your wings today?

Pope offers advice on marriage THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis offered some Valentine’s Day advice last Friday for a lasting marriage, telling 25,000 lovebirds that the recipe for success lies in saying three simple words: “Please, thanks and sorry.” Francis told fiances gathered in St. Peter’s Square for a special papal date that expressions of courtesy, gratitude and contrition go a long way toward conserving and enhancing love over time. “Never finish the day without making peace!” he begged them. “Because if you end the day without making peace, what you have inside becomes hard and cold and it becomes harder to make peace the following day.” Francis has on several occasions met with young couples to give them advice before embarking on marriage. The need for such church counselling, both before and after the wedding, is a theme he’s expected to elaborate on at a major Vatican meeting on the family in October. Francis has often lamented how many marriages end in divorce and has blamed such failed relationships on today’s prevailing “provisional culture” that makes people unwilling to make lifelong commitments. Originally the audience was due to be held inside a Vatican auditorium. But the response from soon-to-wed couples to Francis’ invitation for a Valentine’s Day date was so great - Vatican officials said 25,000 people from 30 countries showed up - that the event was held in the piazza on a perfect, sunny afternoon after weeks of rain. Francis joked that we all make mistakes and that no one is perfect: “The perfect family doesn’t exist, nor the perfect husband nor wife. Let’s not even talk about the perfect mother-in-law!”

REGIONAL

Kaslo to lose 24/7 emergency service on April 1

THE NELSON STAR After a pre-Christmas reprieve, Interior Health will proceed with changes to Kaslo’s Victoria Community Health Centre emergency department hours after all. This decision to reduce service to Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. comes as a result of notification from the physician group that they are unable to move forward with

their proposal to provide 24/7 emergency department coverage, reports Interior Health. The cuts to 24-7 service were originally slated for January 6 but were changed to April 1 so the group of physicians could explore a fee-for-service rather than a contract compensation model. However, they have been unable to find enough physicians

to make the proposal viable. “Interior Health sincerely appreciates the efforts physicians have made to support emergency services in Kaslo,” said Andrew Neuner, VP Community Integrated Health Services. “Our focus remains building a strong robust primary care centre with ready access to physicians, diagnostic testing and public health nurs-

ing services. We will continue to recruit physicians who are committed to providing consistent services that meet the majority of residents’ healthcare needs during the busiest hours of the week.” Now, with reduced service, Interior Health said they are working in partnership with the BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) to ensure residents have timely

access to high level care using skilled paramedics, and Interior Health’s High

Acuity Response Team (HART) based in Trail. This practice, which is in place at

other Interior Health sites without 24/7 emergency department coverage.

CRANBROOK

City to survey citizens on deer cull BY SALLY MACDONALD Cranbrook Townsman

Cranbrook residents will be polled for their thoughts on deer culls this year. At its regular meeting on Monday, Cranbrook City Council agreed to conduct a survey about urban deer. Cranbrook has conducted two culls: one in December 2011 and one in February 2013. All meat was distributed to the Food Bank and Street Angels. It has been four years since Cranbrook last asked residents whether they would sup-

port a cull. The online survey was filled out by about 30 per cent of the city’s population. About 75 per cent of those who responded said they would like to see at least a 30 per cent decrease in Cranbrook’s urban deer population. But, said Councillor Bob Whetham, that survey was conducted before either of the city’s two culls and before the Urban Deer Management Advisory Committee had counted the number of deer in town, a process it now goes through at least once a year.

“I think it’s probably timely that we need to go and ask the public, that we are either taking an approach that is acceptable to the community at large or we are not.” Whetham, who sits on the committee, said that deer numbers have been fairly consistent since they began counting in 2010. “There has been something of a decline in the number of mule deer – although I can’t say that in my neighbourhood – but the number of whitetail has certainly gone up.”

The Interior Heart & Surgical Centre

Division title on the line B.V. Nitehawks play for top spot By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks head into the final weekend of the KIJHL regular season in a dogfight for first place with the Nelson Leafs. However, the Neil Murdoch division championship is their’s to lose, if the Hawks, with a record of 37-10-1-2 for 77 points, can win their final two matches of the regular season versus the Spokane Braves tonight and in B.V. on Saturday against the Leafs that presently lead the division with a record of 37-9-1-4 for 79 points. “I think it’s important that we finish the weekend on a high note, regardless of where we finish we can play a great game and manage to lose, those things can happen,” said Nitehawk coach Terry Jones. “I think if we play well, we’ll like our result and have a good feeling going into next week.” The Hawks can tie the Leafs in the standings with a win against the Braves, and then take the title with a victory at the Hawks Nest on Saturday. They can even afford a loss against the Braves and the often unpredictable officiating in Spokane, but must beat the Leafs on Saturday regardless.

Nichol vies for playoff berth

By Times Staff The Heather Nichol rink is holding its own and in the hunt for a playoff berth at the B.C. Senior Women’s Curling championship at the Comox Curling Club this week. The Nichol rink with Trail’s Rose Beauchamp as third, second Sue Babiarz, and Cindy Pettapiece rebounded from an opening 10-1 loss to Langley’s Gwen Clark rink on Tuesday morning, to beat the Joanne Kern foursome from Tsawassen 8-6 later that day. Nichol scored three in the fifth to break open a close 3-2 match and roll to the victory over Kern. The West Kootenay team continued its good play with a dramatic 7-6 extraend victory over the Katie Witt rink from Nanaimo. Nichol trailed Witt 6-3 headed into the ninth end, but a deuce in nine and steals of one in 10 and 11 completed the comeback to push their record to 2-1. Unfortunately, Nichol would face the 2012 B.C. Champion in the undefeated Penny Shantz rink from Comox in the

sixth draw on Wednesday. Nichol kept it close trailing 4-2 until the seventh when Shantz scored five to bust it wide open. The Lisa Deputan rink from Chilliwack sit in second spot behind Shantz with a 4-1 record, and played Nichol in the early draw Thursday. Deputan capitalized early, scoring three in the first end to go onto a 11-1 win. With a 2-3 record the West Kootenay rink is tied for third and can still make the playoffs with wins over former Trail resident Kathy Smiley (2-2) of Royal City and the Lil Blashko rink (2-3) of Summerland on Friday. In the Sr. Men’s action the Wes Craig foursome of Victoria is a perfect 5-0 as of Thursday afternoon, with Campbell River’s Dean Thulin in second at 4-1, and last year’s champion Craig Lepine from the Peace Arch Curling Club in third at 3-2.

of the regular season, the Hawks would take top spot by virtue of one more win than the Leafs, 38-37. “Most wins is the first tiebreaker,” said Jones. “It should be head-to-head, but that’s something that has to be changed.” With a sweep of the Castlegar Rebels last weekend, the Nitehawks kept pace with the Leafs who took two from the Grand Forks Border Bruins. The Nitehawks also helped out the Braves, as the Rebel losses propelled Spokane past Castlegar into third spot in the division. The Rebels and Braves are separated by just one point with their final games going on Friday. A Braves win clinches third spot, however, a loss coupled with a Rebel win over the Border Bruins would give Castlegar the higher placing. “It’s in their (Spokane’s) hands too, if they win their game they finish third and that will be a great feather in the cap for those guys too.” The Hawks are almost healthy with Russell Mortlock still out with injury. Mortlock has been an impact player this season with the Hawks, combing skill and physicality in addition to a veteran presence in the room. “Russell’s an important guys so we definitely need him back, but otherwise we’re pretty healthy,” said Jones. “He’s a big guy and when he’s in the lineup he makes a big difference.” See HAWKS, Page 11

Smokies look to upset contenders

By Times Staff The Trail Smoke Eaters can put a major dent in the top two teams aspirations of a first-place finish in the Interior division when they face Penticton and West Kelowna in their penultimate weekend of play in the BCHL. The Smoke Eaters can make a difference in the race for first when they faceoff against the divisionleading Penticton Vees on Friday before playing the West Kelowna Warriors, two points back of the Vees, on Saturday. “We still got some guys with a lot of pride in that room, and we show up to the rink every day to work with those guys,” said Trail assistant coach Craig Clair. The Vees are coming off a huge 6-3 victory over the Warriors on Tuesday despite being outshot 40-27. The win gives Penticton 72 points on the season, however, West Kelowna may

have the edge as the teams wind down the season. Each team has four games remaining, but the Warriors play the Smoke Eaters in three of their final four matches, while the Vees, following their match against Trail tonight, have two games against the Salmon Arm SilverBacks and one versus the Vernon Vipers. The Vees have a 1-4 record against the SilverBacks so far this year, but are 4-2 against the Vipers. The SilverBacks meanwhile will likely have to win every one of their final five matches if they hope to catch the Merritt Centennials for the final playoff spot. The fourth-place Cents lead the Backs by five points with 61 points in the Interior division standings, while Vernon is comfortably ensconced in third place with 66 points, six points back of Penticton.

The Smoke Eaters will play shorthanded once again with Dylan Mascarin and Adam Wheeldon out for the rest of the season, and Jakson Elynuik doubtful. However, goaltender Adam Todd will return to the Smokies lineup, in addition to a couple APs. Off the ice, Nick Deschenes is working hard for next season, organizing the Smoke Eater spring camp for midget age players and a 4-on-4 tournament for Pee Wee and Bantamn hockey players going from Mar. 28-30. The camp will showcase up-and-coming local talents for players in the age group from 1999-2002 as well as potential Smoke Eaters for next year from the midget-age group. The Smokies final home games go on Wednesday against Vernon and next Friday versus West Kelowna both games at 7:30 p.m. at the Cominco Arena.

Team Canada makes golden comeback

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SOCHI, Russia Canada won its fourth straight women’s Olympic hockey title, breaking Thursday’s pattern of first-time winners on the slopes and ice of the Sochi Games. Down 2-0 in the final period, the Canadians rallied to force overtime, then won it on Marie-Philip Poulin’s power play goal 8:10 into the extra period. It marked the

fourth time the two North American powers have met for the gold. The U.S. won only the sport’s inaugural Olympic title in 1998. Poulin also scored Canada’s tying goal in the final minute of regulation. Brianne Jenner scored the other for Canada, which has won 20 straight in the Winter Games since the Nagano final in 1998. Meghan Duggan

and Alex Carpenter scored for the U.S. Switzerland beat Sweden for the bronze medal. In the women’s curling final, Jones had no idea what the winning shot looked like. She had already pretty much wrapped up the gold medal one end earlier. Canadians broke up a scrappy, errorstrewn final by stealing two points in the ninth end when

Maria Prytz, throwing Sweden’s final rock, was short with a draw and bumped another of her rocks away from the button. Instead of potentially being down 5-4 with one end to play, Canada was up 6-3. The last end was a formality, with the Canadians playing takeout after takeout. Jones was already jumping for joy when her last rock skittered down the ice.

Hawks-Subway team up for KidSport

FROM PAGE 10 The Nitehawks and Leafs have battled tooth and nail all year, with the Hawks holding a 4-3 edge in the series. On the line is a division title and all-important home-ice advantage in the second round. “I think at this time our guys

got to motivate themselves to be at their best . . . They’re going to be jacked and ready to play, and as a veteran team that’s what we expect both Friday and Saturday night,” added Jones. “Over the course of 52 games we’ve been a really good team and now were trying to not let anything stop us.” Beaver Valley takes on Nelson at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Beaver Valley Arena.

Nitehawk Notes: In the heat of a Murdoch division battle for top spot, the Beaver Valley Nitehawks are teaming up with Subway to raise funds for KidSport on Sunday. Nitehawk players will be slicing and dicing at Subway locations in Fruitvale, Waneta, and Trail and for every sub sold, $1 will go to KidSport Trail to ensure all kids can play.

ell, the Canadian w o m e n just won another gold medal, and one of their iconic players, slowing down but loath to get off the Olympic gravy train, has been co-opted into the IOC. Ho, Hum. You have, however, an opportunity to see some intense, meaningful, more or less non-profit, mostly for the love of the game, hockey this weekend. The Beaver Valley - Nelson game at the Hawks’ Nest Saturday will be for almost all the regular season marbles imaginable. The winner of that game will finish first in the toughest division, by far, in the KIJHL and may get second overall in the league - big factors in the playoff round what with the home ice advantage for most,

ing team which won bronze a few hours before this was written. Like Kelly Law before her, Muirhead’s failure to become Olympic champion means leaving millions of dollars, or pounds, or euros, on the table. Had she won gold, Muirhead would have been in line for oodles of cash for promotions and appearances - bronze does not have that monetary cachet. There will likely be some financial return to her and her team, but not the golden future the multi-talented Muirhead was hoping for. Muirhead is young, and still heavily supported by British sports authorites, so she may

get another shot at the gold ring - unlike Law, who has never again quite made it into the spotlight. The Jennifer Jones rink will see some financial benefits from winning the competition - it is still a Wheaties Box world (and not just for decathletes anymore), but nothing like what awaited the young and pretty Muirhead had she won, or was poised for the beautiful Law, who had power player Bruce Allen all ready to oversee stardom. Win and you are in (the money) is how the Olympic lottery works. Lose (and anything but gold is a loss to the money mavens) and it is, “wait till next Olympiad.”

Olympic gold means healthy pay day even maybe all, playoff series. Even if Spokane, which desperately needs the two points to hold off Castlegar for third spot, tops Beaver Valley, the Nitehawks will still be able to take top spot in the Murdoch division with a win over the Leafs. That second scenario, however, would likely leave the Nitehawks third overall. So, a lot to play for and a hot time guaranteed for fans in the stands that night. • Given I understand the Olympics is all about money, it is easy for me to feel badly for Eve Muirhead, the mildly glamorous skip of the Great Britain curl-

You are under no obligation to move in with Dayna regardless of the reason.

We have no way of knowing whether they will shoot up a school or a post office until they do. If you suspect your neighbor does not have a valid license, you can report him to the police and ask that it be checked out.

We hope she will care enough about you to be understanding. Dear Annie: I need some advice as to whether I should report a neighbor to our local sheriff or state police. He wears a loaded revolver on his hip all the time, and I don’t know whether he has a permit to carry. This neighbor frightens me. He once said, “Nobody fools with me,” and then patted the gun. None of my neighbors likes or respects this man. I have yet to meet a single person who speaks well of him. He is weird and scary. My concern is that this potential crackpot could go bananas and shoot someone. I would feel terrible if there was something I could have done to prevent a tragedy.
