Warfield withdraws from recreation deal BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
Looks like followthe-leader is the name of the game in Greater Trail now that Warfield will not be renewing its five-year recreation and library services agreement with the City of Trail. The decision to no longer cost share with the city under the Trail Resident Program (TRP) was made during an in-camera council meeting last week, which means Trail taxpayers are now on the hook to cover the loss of Warfield’s $74,500 contribution towards recreation and $32,500 annual payment toward library services. “This is very disappointing news,” said Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs in a Monday news release. “Negotiations and discussions with Warfield were seemingly proceeding
very well up until the city was advised of this decision,” he explained. “Therefore we were quite shocked to hear the village decided not to renew the agreement.” The news of Warfield council’s decision blindsided Virginia Clover, a long time village resident who keeps fit at the Trail Aquatic and Leisure Centre, avidly plays pickleball in Trail facilities, and regularly visits the Trail and District Public Library. “I am heart sick,” Clover told the Trail Times. “Once again I see this as another grievous blow to community participation after so many years of cooperation between Trail and Warfield.” The retired teacher wrote a letter to Warfield council stating her belief that the village should not “go the way of the other
dissident councils in the area,” by withdrawing from cost sharing in recreation and cultural services. “I am very disappointed that I did not receive a response from council,” said Clover. “The fact that this decision was made in camera appears sneaky and opaque and leaves people in our community feeling betrayed.” The village “went over a couple of offers,” said Warfield Mayor Bert Crockett. “We noticed that all the other areas are looking at costing so we have got to make sure we get the right costs for our citizens,” he said. Since 2009, the village has been paying between $71,000 and $75,000 per year to the city for Warfield users to access Trail recreational facilities, and to See REFUND, Page 3
TRAIL REGIONAL AIRPORT
City works through audit BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff
The City of Trail and its new airport manager are working diligently at developing a corrective action plan in response to findings just released from a Transport Canada audit. The audit, better known as a Process Validation Inspection (PVI), found that the Trail Regional Airport is not in compliance in three “moderate” cases and one “major” finding. Among these, the report concludes the need of renewing an expired offset approach surface agreement; that a recent runway construction project was not done to compliance and that training and daily
practices and procedures were not being recorded. “It really does take somebody on site everyday to know the nuances of the airport, to know what training requirements are and to document those and ensure that everybody has the proper tools to do their jobs,” said new airport manager Don Goulard. He doesn’t want to take away from the volunteers who’ve kept the airport running smoothly but he expects that in future he can make sure staff is filling out required paperwork that validates what has been agreed upon in the airport’s operations manual.

Foods offers two reading nooks for anyone interested in delving into a book in the bright store that also offers customized framing. “My earlier instruction was in library and archival studies and document conservation, so I am quite particular about ensuring that whatever goes into a frame will be protected and preserved,” she explained of her 15 years experience in framing. “These conservation framing techniques are important for original and valuable artwork, and also for precious documents such as diplomas and old family photos and treasures. We frame textiles as well as artwork and documents.” Pairing her art of framing with her passion for books was a natural fit, she said, as most of the framing goes on behind the scenes and opens the front of the store to
merchandise. The store opened in January, shortly after the couple fell in love with Salmo and decided to set up shop. Tara Books is open Tuesday to Saturday
from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., otherwise by appointment for frame orders and collection. Located at 204 Fourth Street in Salmo, the store can be reached at 357-0022.

City to address airport concerns FROM PAGE 1 The City of Trail plans on compiling all of the costs associated with remedial action and claim these expenses directly to the landing strip’s previous owner, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, it was decided at the city’s last Governance and Operations Committee meeting. “Many of the items raised are issues that the city would have expected the regional district to have addressed as part of their ownership and operation of the airport,” said city administrator David Perehudoff in a report to council. “The city will now have to spend considerable time and resource dealing with the concerns that are
raised.” The PVI was done on Jan. 28 and 29, when Transport Canada determined the effectiveness of Trail Airport policies, processes and procedures with respect to quality assurance, airport operator’s obligations, document and records management and training. Goulard attributes most of the discrepancies found to the airport’s lack of leadership and organization when it comes to staying up on retraining or simply recording daily findings that could easily be shrugged off, such as spotting deer on the facility’s grounds. But this isn’t to say he’s not taking this process very seriously. The former Calgary resident with 15 years

FROM PAGE 1 date, never requested or received user information on a regular basis. “Now we are going to start looking into it,” explained Crockett. “Everybody else wasn’t getting their information but at the end of the day we were thinking about extending the agreement for a year or taking it to referendum,” he said. “But that would have an added cost and it could be defeated or meant a six per cent increase in taxation.” According to Vince Morelli, the village’s chief administrative officer, Trail did not present Warfield with a specific dollar amount for 2014. However, Crockett added that council made the decision in a closed meeting Thursday after discussing the options and chose to launch a reimbursement program for residents who access Trail services.
“We looked at how other municipalities are doing it and came to the same conclusion,” he said. “We are going to find the actual cost other than these numbers that are just floating.” Warfield’s reimbursement program is effective immediately and users are asked to bring a receipt to the village hall, with a pay-out expected to take up to two weeks. On the library side of things, that Trail facility is already struggling with its 2014 budget so the additional loss of over $30,000 will most likely mean a cut to services. Current statistics (2012) show that 529 people in Warfield have a TRP card, but with the program no longer valid, Morelli said the village is looking into the BC OneCard program for residents. “We don’t have all the details yet,” he added. “We are looking at our
options.” The village’s decision comes on the heels of the Beaver Valley Recreation committee choosing to end its cost sharing agreement with Trail in December leaving Trail scrambling to cover an immediate $209,000 loss to recreational services. “The city is now forced to look at the existing TRP rates more critically and will need to consider making user fee and recreation program adjustments,” said Bogs. “The inability of our neighbours to recognize and contribute toward the larger recreations facilities in Trail that provide a regional benefit is difficult to comprehend,” he continued. “Without these facilities it would clearly make Greater Trail less desirable and could negatively impact such things as future economic investment, employment as well as property values.”
airport nonetheless,” said Goulard. “It needs to be treated as the professional environment that it really is and it needs to adhere to regulations just like
every other airport in the country.” He’s pleased to be part of an airport that is just taking off in terms of its potential. “I couldn’t ask for a
better time to get in,” he said. “To really get in on the ground floor and help to create something amazing, that’s really exciting.”

Death at mine under investigation By Tamara Hynd Fermie Free Press
The death of a 59-year-old male Teck employee at the Coal Mountain Operations near Sparwood is under investigation. The B.C. Ministry of Energy and Mines are investigating the fatality that occurred around 2 a.m. on Sunday. According to Nic Milligan of Teck, the mine inspector will be onsite today, as they were yesterday. “I can’t speculate on the time frame of the investigation or provide any additional details. Our focus right now is on ensuring employees at site are supported and working with the Ministry to ensure a full investigation.” Teck extended
their sincere condolences to the employee’s family, friends, and colleagues. Teck Resources operates five open pit coal mines in the Elk Valley. Coal Mountain Operations is located 30 kilometres southeast of Sparwood in southeastern British Columbia. The Ministry of Energy and Mines commented on what they called a tragic accident. “No other employees were injured and authorities, including officials from the Ministry of Energy and Mines, have initiated an investigation.” The United Steel Workers Union is aware of the incident but will not comment while the incident is under investigation.

Aquatic centre in need of upgrade By Greg Nesteroff Nelson Star
The Regional District of Central Kootenay will borrow up to $4.5 million over five years to repair the Nelson aquatic centre, pending board approval Thursday. The recreation commission earlier looked at taking out the same amount over
10 years, but concluded the shorter period is preferable to keep interest payments low and reduce administration fees. It also means the loan, expected to cost about $126,000 in interest, won’t be subject to a counter-petition process. However, the work won’t happen until the summer
of 2015 and the loan will only be drawn for the exact amount needed once quotes from contractors are in place, chief financial officer Stuart Horn said. The aquatic centre is coming off an almost $800,000 emergency ceiling replacement last year which saw taxes for the facility increase 34 per cent.

Provincial Measles outbreak threatens students By Mario Bartel Burnaby Newsleader
Students at BCIT returning to classes in the NE1 building on Monday were met by posters on the doors with an ominous message about possible exposure to the measles. On Friday the school was advised by Fraser Health that a student with a case of measles related to the current outbreak in the Fraser Valley was at the Burnaby campus March 6 and 7 to write exams in NE1, which is also known as the Inglis building. Dave Pinton, BCIT’s media relations coordinator, said 126 students and two faculty members may have been exposed to the sick student on those days. He said they’ve all been contacted with individualized emails advising them of their risk and the precautions they should be taking. Those include staying isolated at home until March 29 if they don’t have documented immunizations, were born before 1970, or didn’t previTrail District Arts council presents

ously have the measles. Everyone else should be immune from the disease, said Naseem Nuraney of Fraser Health. “We think actually that immunization rates among these students would be about 85 per cent,” said Nuraney. Measles is very contagious and can spread very quickly if people aren’t vaccinated, said Dr. Paul Van Buynder, Fraser Health’s chief medical officer. It spreads through the air when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes. The virus can survive in small droplets in the air for several hours. Once the health authority learns of a case, it contacts the patient to track their movements while they were infectious. Pinton said the school takes it on good faith that students and faculty know whether they’ve got immunity and to follow Fraser Health’s recommendations. “We’re not stopping them and checking for documentation,” said Pinton. Still, a general advisory was sent by email to all students at BCIT’s Burnaby campus, as well as staff and faculty, advising them of the outbreak and potential risks.

fracturing, or fracking. Under provincial legislation, the Oil and Gas Commission has the power to grant short-term water approvals for up to 24 months. The groups’ lawyer, Karen Campbell, says the commission grants such approvals numerous times in a row, in some cases allowing the companies to use the same short-term approval for several years without the need to obtain a full water licence. The government says there is nothing in the law that prevents repeated short-term water licences, and it insists its officials acted within the law. The B.C. government recently unveiled proposed changes to its water laws that specifically permit repeated approvals, though the law hasn’t yet passed.

Port strike continues with growing concerns By Jeff Nagel
Surrey North Delta Leader
A port strike by container truck drivers is expected to continue this week after union leaders accused provincial and federal government representatives of presenting their plan to end the dispute as a non-negotiable takeit-or-leave-it package. The parties met late Sunday but emerged without a resolution to restore full port shipments. Port Metro Vancouver CEO Robin Silvester applied more pressure on drivers to accept the 14-point plan unveiled last Thursday, saying those who refuse to return to work may lose future port work. “A continued refusal by some truckers to provide such service is likely to result in suspension or termination of their permits by Port Metro Vancouver,” Silvester said Sunday. Such threats are not helpful, responded Gavin McGarrigle, B.C. area director for Unifor-Vancouver Container Truckers Association. “One of the first things we heard is the government said this was not a negotiating session,” McGarrigle said following Sunday’s meeting. “Even though we’re prepared to negotiate in good faith it appears that door was closed. Our members will remain on the picket line and continue to protest.” Nearly 300 Uniforrepresented container truckers have been on strike since March

10, while several hundred more non-union owner-operators with the United Trucking Association halted work Feb. 26. UTA representatives say they also have questions and concerns with the proposed action plan. The federal-provincial plan offers an immediate 10 per cent jump in rates paid for each container moved, as well as a review of other hourly wages and fuel surcharges with changes to kick in by mid-2015. Terminals will also have to pay truckers $25 per container when they wait more than two hours to load.
“Even though we’re prepared to negotiate in good faith it appears that door was closed. “ Gavin Mcgarrigle
But McGarrigle said drivers consider the wait fee too low. “That’s just not a realistic plan,” he said. “Down the road if you’re waiting three hours that’s actually less than minimum wage.” Long unpaid waits to load their trucks at the region’s four container terminals have been one of the main complaints of drivers, who also say reforms are needed to end rate undercutting by some in the industry. SFU urban studies professor Peter Hall, an expert on the dispute, called the plan a “serious attempt” to solve the longrunning problems, but the lack of specifics mean truckers are being asked to put much trust in the rollout.
Bolstered provincial audits and other measures, including a whistleblower provision, are pledged to ensure port-licensed trucking firms abide by industry rates and that fuel surcharges flow through to drivers. Port Metro Vancouver would reinstate port licences of truckers it had suspended who don’t face criminal charges for alleged violence or vandalism, and end a lawsuit against the United Truckers Association. Initial reforms are pledged by June 15, including steps to control the proliferation of licensed trucks and to introduce new licence charges that fund enforcement and expansion of the port’s GPS tracking system for trucks. A pilot project to extend hours at port terminals is also promised this spring, allowing limited evening trips – which may be subsidized through industry fees – with an aim of reducing port congestion and lineups during the day. Federal and provincial officials have urged drivers to return to work while the plan is implemented. B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone warned last Thursday the port is “down on its knees” due to the dispute, with mills and plants closing and ships preparing to reroute to Seattle. Stone said employees at pulp mills, sawmills and other shipping-dependent businesses are starting to be laid off because their goods can’t be shipped. There are 90,000 people whose jobs depend on the port, and 60,000 of them are in B.C., he said.

Tory caucus in turmoil Canada imposes more sanctions alberta
THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY - An associate minister in Alberta Premier Alison Redford’s cabinet resigned her post and left the Tory caucus Monday as unrest continued to roil on government benches. Donna Kennedy-Glans, member of the legislature for Calgary Varsity, cited the inability to create change from within the party and a culture of entitlement as reasons for her departure. But she did not criticize Redford by name. “This is not just about leadership,” Kennedy-Glans told reporters in Calgary. “This is about how our party functions and whether change from within is possible. “We’ve had conversations about the premier’s leadership for months now. I am just one person. I have to make my choices. I’m not here to bring down anyone.”
Kennedy-Glans was the associate minister for electricity and renewable energy. She will sit as an Independent. Redford has been facing increasing unrest within her caucus, fuelled by concerns over her leadership style and a $45,000 trip to South Africa. Last week, Calgary backbencher Len Webber also quit the Tory caucus, calling Redford a bully and “not a nice lady.” On Friday, the president of a Progressive Conservative riding association in northeast Edmonton said Redford must resign or the party will lose the next election. Kennedy-Glans, who is a lawyer, co-authored a book on how companies can act with integrity. She said in a news release Monday that she was looking forward to putting her beliefs into practice as a government member.

Health Canada to flush out medical marijuana growers
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Health Canada says it will tell police if medical marijuana users fail to declare they have disposed of their homegrown stashes - a requirement of strict new federal rules. The department says it will share relevant information - including the names and addresses of those who flout the new system with law enforcement. Under the existing federal program, thousands of people have licences to cultivate marijuana for personal use to help ease painful symptoms. Beginning April 1, the government plans to allow only select commercial producers to grow marijuana under “secure and sanitary conditions” for postal distribution to medically approved
patients. Health Canada says anyone other than a licensed producer growing marijuana as of that date is breaking the law. It means those who now possess or grow marijuana under the old rules must destroy and dispose of plants, seeds and dried pot by March 31. The Health Department recommends breaking up plant material, blending the marijuana with water, mixing it with cat litter to mask the pungent odour, and putting it in the trash. It is sending letters to those enrolled under the old rules to say they must submit a signed form by April 30 confirming they have stopped growing pot. Users are also required to list the number of plants - and the number of grams of dried
marijuana and seeds they have destroyed. Those who fail to comply will be reported to police, Health Canada says in a notice on its website. The department will also “continue to cooperate with police, and provide information needed to protect public safety, as appropriate.” However, it will stop short of providing municipalities with a list of marijuana production sites that must shut down under the new rules, saying such information is protected by federal privacy law. The federal threat to involve police amounts to criminalizing patients, said Legalize Canada, a group that plans to support federal electoral candidates who endorse legalization of marijuana.

THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA - Stephen Harper says Canada is imposing more sanctions on Russia as a result of Sunday’s vote in Crimea to secede from Ukraine. Harper said Monday that the result of the so-called referendum is illegitimate and was conducted under an illegal Russian military occupation. Harper said his government is putting economic sanctions and travel restrictions on senior people in Russia and Ukraine, and in Crimea specifically. The Russian individuals include deputy prime minister Dmitry Olegovich Rogozin, Sergey Yur’yevich
Glaz’yev, an adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Putin aide Vladislav Yur’yevich Surkov. The Ukrainians include Serhiy Valeriyovich Aksyonov, the prime minister of Crimea and Volodymyr A n d r i y o v y c h Konstantynov, chairman of the Crimean parliament. Harper announced the sanctions before meeting Vadym Prystaiko, the Ukrainian ambassador to Canada. “It’s my strong belief we must keep the pressure on and we must continue to maintain sanctions and maintain putting in place strong steps to dissuade this behaviour,” Harper
said. “What the Putin regime has done cannot be tolerated and can never be accepted.” The prime minister said the sanctions are aimed at isolating Russia. “The individuals targeted are responsible for undermining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and for facilitating Russian military action against Ukraine,” he said. He said the measures demonstrate to Russia that its actions have consequences. “Canada will not stand by while Russia violates Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.” Harper is to fly to Kyiv on Friday to show his support for
the temporary government of Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression in the strategic Black Sea region. “I’m really looking forward to that as an opportunity this weekend to express the solidarity of the Canadian people with Ukrainian people and obviously our support for Ukraine’s prosperity, its sovereignty and its territorial integrity.” Canada is acting in concert with its allies, Harper said. Earlier Monday, President Barack Obama’s administration announced a freeze on the U.S. assets of seven Russian officials, including top advisers to President Vladimir Putin.

Dolphins trapped in ice perish THE CANADIAN PRESS PORT AUX BASQUES, N.L. - All but three of about 30 white-beaked dolphins that became trapped in ice off southwestern Newfoundland have died, federal fisheries officials said Monday. A spokesman for the Fisheries and Oceans Department said officers visited the site in Cape Ray and found the carcasses, adding that the remaining dolphins appeared to be in poor condition. “It is not uncommon for marine mammals such as dolphins, porpoises and beluga whales to be found swimming in ice in N.L. waters at this time of year,” Larry Vaters said in an email. “Situations when marine animals become trapped in ice are very unfortunate, but do occur in the marine ecosystem (especially when ice
conditions are extreme) and should be left to take their course in most circumstances.” Vaters said high winds and whiteouts were making the conditions worse for the surviving mammals, adding that the unique geography and currents in the area form a natural trap for animals when there is heavy ice. He said responding to such instances was not within the department’s mandate, but officers will monitor the situation.

Green machine runs rampant in B.C.
C
anada’s sleek, imported green propaganda machine rolled into the capital last week for a couple of days of meetings. You wouldn’t have heard about it, because they didn’t stage any protests or press conferences. Instead they met quietly with selected reporters as well as politicians from both sides of the aisle. They didn’t invite me for some reason, but from what I can gather, it was a friendly networking session. When I speak of our U.S.-directed environmental movement, many people still don’t know what I mean. They see the signwaving on TV and assume it’s all spontaneous, driven by passionate volunteers. Nuke the Whales for Jesus, as we used to joke in the 1970s. It’s an industry now, and as with our automotive industry, Canada is a branch plant of the U.S. The Victoria event was an annual conference called
Organizing for Change, sponsored by Tides Canada. Thanks mainly to the work of B.C. researcher Vivian Krause, this offshoot of the U.S. Tides Foundation now at least identifies itself while it pulls B.C.’s political strings. Organizing for Change currently includes Ecojustice, Greenpeace, Sierra Club B.C., ForestEthics Advocacy, ForestEthics Solutions, Georgia Strait Alliance, Dogwood Initiative, Pembina Institute, West Coast Environmental Law, Wildsight and Seattle-based Conservation Northwest. Tides is itself a front for wealthy charitable foundations based mostly in Seattle and California, funded by billionaires who see “saving” B.C. as their personal eco-project. Their hired activists met with Environment Minister Mary Polak to discuss her just-introduced Water Sustainability Act. This was to demand heavy fees and choking regulations on water used for “fracking,”

that nefarious gas drilling technology so demonized in fake documentaries and celebrity protests. Tides no longer attempts to hide its strategy of targeting energy development in B.C. and Alberta. Its tactics are well known, too. Environmentalists need high-profile wins, and the economic pain is best inflicted outside of the U.S., the biggest polluter in world history. Organizing for Change’s stated priorities for the year are the “last stand of the Great Bear Rainforest,” the “Sacred Headwaters” and the Water Sustainability Act.
Professional protesters are mainly just taking credit for the 2012 buyback of Shell’s coalbed gas licences around the headwaters of the Nass, Skeena and Stikine Rivers. Tahltan Central Council declared that territory theirs in 1910, and having pros roll in with slogans and graphics wasn’t exactly crucial to the outcome. Their greatest marketing success so far is the Great Bear Rainforest, which is continually portrayed as being in peril from hunting, logging and of course, oil and gas development. One of the documents Krause unearthed is a 2008 plan entitled “Tar Sands Campaign Strategy 2.1” that has proven remarkably prophetic. As Greenpeace, Sierra and ForestEthics were negotiating the 2007 Great Bear land use plan, other network members were preparing to “raise the negatives” and market Alberta as a unique threat to planetary integrity.
I’ve written before about the distortions and evasions required to present such a fossil fuel fairy tale. Suffice it to say that while we have busloads of protesters in B.C., you don’t see them in those benevolent petro-states Angola, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Kuwait or Algeria. They’re not saving the whole planet, just the safe and lucrative parts. And as I mentioned after the protester-staged Neil Young concert tour, it’s amazing how American oil and gas interests and Alaska oil tankers remain invisible to this sophisticated network. NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert met with the green machine too. He wants all of B.C.’s groundwater mapped and measured deep into the Earth’s crust. That should take a while.

Former ‘Bachelorette’ defends Juan Pablo The Canadian Press It seemed like fans of “The Bachelor” had a hate-on for the latest star Juan Pablo Galavis after the reality show’s recent finale. But an unlikely supporter has come to his defence. Former “Bachelorette” star Jillian Harris defended Galavis and criticized show host Chris Harrison. The Peace River, Alta., native thinks Harrison went too far grilling Galavis about whether he loves the woman he chose, Nikki Ferrell. “I will be the first one to admit it - I think I said I was in love when I really wasn’t. I was convinced that I was in love, but looking back - I wasn’t. I would be willing to bet that a big percentage of the L-bombs that get dropped on this show are premature.”

Guthrie and Mike Feldman, a 45-year-old communications strategist, tied the knot Saturday near her hometown of Tucson, Ariz. It was there she told her guests she’s four months pregnant. Guthrie’s on-air “Today” colleagues were among those on hand for the wedding.

Columbia River Treaty: Silent Spring Remember
The year 1964 : heart attacks, death, two years for the smoke to clear as 2,300 of us were forced from our homes and farms. Tens of thousands of mammals drowned or starved to death. 266,518 acres of our very best valley bottoms submerged, extensive old growth forest drowned as it stood. That was half a century ago when the Columbia River Treaty dams were constructed to impound water in vast industrial reservoirs “on call” for the U.S. Today, the legacy behind these dams is a virtual dead zone within a local climate gone awry. With the riparian area destroyed and the river’s ability to seasonally charge and release its nutrient load denied, gone are the insects, birds, bats, mammals, amphibians, vegetation, freshwater phytoplankton, aquatic larvae and crustaceans. Chemical additives from Teck-Cominco boost
aquatic “nutrients”; chromosome-modified sterile triploid trout stock the reservoirs preying on remnant, ever-declining native fish; pests and disease proliferate (no birds plus reservoirs’ artificial warming); no agriculture in a valley formerly the third most productive in B.C., no return of small industry that formerly sustained closely-connected human populations now gone - a dismembered river called upon to provide ever more water for US irrigation, industry, navigation, eco-system function, direct consumption, domestic use, hydropower, recreation and “flood control”. Unethical, immoral and ultimately ruinous to both countries. There is a solution: mid-pool reservoirs in Canada. Janet Spicer Nakusp

The framing of al-Megrahi
T
hey lied, they’re still lying, and they’ll go on lying until Libya calms down enough to allow a thorough search of its archives. That’s what intelligence agencies do, and being angry at them for lying is like being angry at a scorpion for stinging. But we now KNOW that they lied about the Libyans planting the bomb on Pan Am flight 103 in December 1988. Abdelbaset alMegrahi, a Libyan airline official who was convicted of placing the bomb aboard the plane and sentenced to 27 years in prison by a special international court in 2001, was freed from jail in 2009 and sent home, allegedly dying from cancer and with only three months to live. He eventually did die three YEARS later, but it was a very peculiar thing for the Scottish government to do. Megrahi was in a Scottish jail because Pan Am 103, en route from London to Detroit, had blown up over the Scottish village of Lockerbie, killing all 259 people aboard and eleven in the village below. But he clearly wasn’t dying when he was freed, and he had served less than a third of his sentence. And there was something even more disturbing about the case. As a condition of
his release, Megrahi was required to drop an appeal against his conviction that had been granted by the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission in 2007.
GWYNNE
DYER World Affairs
The SCCRC listed no fewer than six grounds for serious concern about Megrahi’s conviction, including the fact that the US Justice Department made an undisclosed payment of $3 million to two Maltese citizens whose evidence had linked Megrahi with the suitcase that contained the bomb. If the appeal had gone ahead, Megrahi’s conviction would probably have been quashed. That would have been deeply embarrassing for the Scottish authorities, especially since the evidence suggested there had been a deliberate attempt to frame the Libyan. But they did have the power to delay the hearing of his appeal for a very long time, and al-Megrahi was not a well man. So one can imagine a bargain being struck: his free-
dom for his silence. Megrahi never stopped protesting his innocence, but he did withdraw his appeal, so the new evidence was never heard in court, his conviction was never cancelled, and nobody was embarrassed. But why did the intelligence agencies pick on him in the first place? Because they had to abandon their first working hypothesis, which was that Pan Am 103 was destroyed in late 1988 as tit-fortat Iranian revenge for the accidental shooting down of an Iran Air plane with 290 people aboard by the US warship Vincennes earlier that year. But the investigation moved slowly, and 20 months after Pan Am 103 went down, Saddam Hussein’s Iraq invaded Kuwait. The US was mobilising a coalition of Western and Arab armies to liberate Kuwait, and it wanted Syria to be part of it. But Syria was Iran’s closest ally in the Arab world, so this was not the right time to get into a confrontation with Iran. Nevertheless, somebody had to be punished or the intelligence services would look incompetent. The people who carried out the bombing for Iran had made some rudimentary attempts to put the blame on Libya,
and the security services now started using that evidence to frame Megrahi. The evidence was full of holes, but the Libyan’s defence team did a poor job of exposing them, and he was convicted anyway. But with the appeal that would have exposed the truth smothered, all this remained mere conjecture until last week, when the alJazeera network broadcast an interview with Abolghassem Mesbahi, a former Iranian intelligence officer. Mesbahi, who once reported directly to the Iranian president, said it quite plainly: Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, gave direct orders for the destruction of an American airliner after the Vincennes incident in 1988. So the original hypothesis was correct, and the Western security services probably always knew it was correct. They don’t care; the case is closed, and with Megrahi’s appeal cancelled it will never be re-opened. But it is worth noting that he was an innocent man, not a mass murderer, and that his life was destroyed by the same people who brought us the invasion of Iraq, mass surveillance, and so much more.

PEOPLE
OBITUARIES ATHERLEY, WENDY-LYNNE – Was born on March 27, 1960 in Toronto, Ontario and passed away suddenly in Rossland, BC on Monday, March 10th 2014 at the age of 53. Wendy is predeceased by her son Shayne Cameron Atherley Johre 1988-2006. She is survived by her parents, Bob and Janet Atherley, siblings Vicki Atherley, Rick & Arlene Atherley and Julie & Darren Drew, her children Austan Tait, Nathan & Alex Johre, grandson Jackson Tait, nieces Courtney & Kelsey Atherley, Tesa & Emma Drew, and nephews Brandon and Jacob Atherley. Wendy was a devoted mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend to many. Her free spirit, unconditional loyalty and caring, compassionate nature will be greatly missed by everyone that loved her. A Memorial Service will be held in Carberry’s Chapel; 1298 Pine Avenue, Trail on Friday, March 21, 2014 at 10:30am. Gwen Ziprick of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services has been entrusted with the arrangements. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence by visiting the families’ register at www.myalternatives.ca *** DAOUST, BARBARA ELLEN – May 11, 1931 - March 11, 2014 It is with great sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Barbara Ellen Daoust (nee Reed) in the early morning of March 11, 2014. Barb did not enjoy robust health but despite her physical limitations she was strong and determined and she never accepted that something could not be done. When she was 7 Barb was diagnosed with polio and six years later with Scoliosis and she had to spend almost a year in a full body cast. She wasn’t supposed to walk again but she did - without any aids at all until the last few years when her family insisted that she use a walker; after all, it was expected of
someone in their 80’s! She was told that someone who has had bone fusions to her spine should not have children, but she had six healthy ones: Darcelle (Stan) Cottons, Kate (Tim Christian) Dykstra, Brenda (Vern) Byberg, Richard (Mary) Daoust, Grant (Heather) Daoust and Carolyn (Steven) Tuai. Her doctors told her that due to her need for oxygen support she should not sing anymore. Despite this advice, Barb loved singing and a few weeks before she died she saw a chorus outside Safeway trying to raise money for a good cause but not getting much attention. While Tweed, her husband of sixty years, went in to shop, Barb joined the chorus and sang with them. Barb took great delight in telling us how much extra money they collected as a result of Barb taking over as the lead singer. Barb and Tweed met, fell in love, and married in Trail and remained there until their 5th child was born in 1960. In 1975 they returned to Trail where Barb took up teaching kindergarten and then spent many years in the profession she came to love, at both Central and Fruitvale Elementary. In the evenings she sang her heart out as a member of the Rossland Light Opera Players. Barb and Tweed made many close friends in Trail and missed them terribly when they moved to Vancouver in 1986. Barbara was a loving woman who was proud of her children and delighted in their achievements. And she thoroughly enjoyed and adored her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Though Barb was frail she had a powerful and positive personality. She possessed a great wit and had a genuine affection for people. Her easy and kindly manner of speaking to those she encountered drew them to her magnetically. Barb loved to sing and we will never forget her pitch-perfect rendition of “Danny Boy” at the memorial service for her brother two years ago. She practiced carefully in advance and though her voice was not strong her careful phrasing brought tears to many eyes. She was so determined to do it perfectly, and she did, and she was very happy afterwards. Barb’s son, Grant, heard his Mom singing before she fell asleep for the last time, inspired by song till the end.

Janice Alexander along with husband Jeff, lead Columbia View Lodge residents through a series of head-to-toe stretches before hitting the dance floor to jive, waltz or do the twist.
Fitness combined with dancing
FROM PAGE 1 “We used to do a lot of dancing and this brings me back,” he said, eyes twinkling. “We used to love the music and it feels good to dance. “This brings back good memories,” Wiltshire added. “It really does that.” Besides drawing people out of their rooms to be part of the fun, Orr’s midweek dance classes have also drawn a handful of partners from his regular “Tuesday Night Dancers” group out of the KP Hall, and up to the seniors’ home to be part of the action. “They wanted to come up to see what I was doing,” said Orr. “They liked it so much
they asked if they could come every week.” The evening opens with the dancers welcoming the seniors with smiles, banter and handshakes, and quickly moves into warm up exercises under the steady foot of volunteer Janice Alexander. Alexander, dressed to the nines and donning strappy dance shoes, guides the residents through in-chair stretches that progress from head-to-toe, accompanied by soulful Louis Armstrong recordings to jazzy Broadway show tunes. As the songs pick up the beat, so does the party atmosphere. Those who can stand, centre in the room to jive, do the
hokey-pokey and flap their arms for the ever popular chicken dance. Nobody is left out as Orr and his fellow dancing partners weave through the gathering to encourage dancing and movement from seated residents and those in wheelchairs. “Our residents really look forward to this,” said Monty Roblin, the facility’s recreation aide. “And it keeps getting bigger every week.” Although Orr and his troupe offer their time for the love of ballroom dance and to give back to the community, recent studies show that dancing can help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia and lessen
the risk of severe falls. According to a 2009 report by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), a little bit of physical activity each day can help minimize the risk of dementia as much as 40 per cent. There’s not a list of specific exercises that work better than others, but there is one form of activity that seems to combine a lot of different factors that might be the most effective. That activity is ballroom dancing and the reason given is that the combination of music and exercise may stimulate and increase cognitive arousal while promoting social engagement.
DAVID BRENNER
Comedian was a favorite on the ‘Tonight Show’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - David Brenner, the gangly, toothygrinned “Tonight Show” favourite whose brand of observational comedy became a staple for other standups, including Jerry Seinfeld and Paul Reiser, died Saturday. He was 78. Brenner, who had been fighting cancer, died peacefully at his home in New York City with his family at his side, according to Jeff Abraham, his friend and publicist. “David Brenner was a huge star when I met him and he took
me under his wing. To me, historically, he was the godfather of hip, observational comedy,” comedian Richard Lewis said in a statement. “He mentored me from day one. ... His passing leaves a hole in my life that can never be replaced.” The lanky, always sharply dressed Brenner became one of the most frequent visitors to Johnny Carson’s “Tonight” in the 1970s and ‘80s. His 150-plus appearances as guest and substitute host turned the former documentary filmmaker into a hot comedian, one
who was ubiquitous on other talk shows and game shows. Brenner moved with the times, trading routines about the humour of everyday life for jokes about social and political issues. Brenner, who was raised in working-class south Philadelphia and graduated with honours from Temple University, was “always there helping a bright young comedian, whether it be Richard Lewis, Freddie Prinze or Jimmie Walker, and he was still doing it until the very end,” Abraham said.

Nitehawks bounce Leafs Saints sweep Spartans BCIHL
By Jim Bailey
Times Sports Editor
The Beaver Valley Nitehawks won the KIJHL Neil Murdoch division championship on Friday, with a convincing Game 6, 6-2 victory over the Nelson Leafs. Following a 4-3 loss to the Leafs in Game 5 on Thursday, the Hawks were determined to end the best-of-seven series in Game 6 at the Beaver Valley Arena the next day. “We thought we played a pretty good game last (Thursday) night, we just had a three or four minute lapse and the penalties we took, took us out of the game,” said Hawks head coach Terry Jones after following the deciding match. “It’s been our Achilles heel for a really long time and tonight we just focused on playing our game, getting pucks deep, and the guys just did a great job and really followed the game plan tonight.” Dallas Calvin, Ryan Edwards, and Riley Brandt each scored twice and Brett Clark stopped 35 shots to backstop the Nitehawks to the win. The Hawks played hard, disciplined hockey as they outworked and outplayed a resigned looking Leafs squad. “We sort of broke down in the second period (in Game 5), allowing three goals . . . but we had a way better game today, all through the 60 minutes,” said Nitehawk forward Riley Brandt. “It’s just a great feeling to get past that second round, like we didn’t do last year, but it’s just the greatest feeling in the world and I’m speechless.” Calvin’s goal at 9:55 of the second period turned out to be the winner. On a pretty passing play with Braden Fuller, Calvin carried the puck into the Leafs Zone made a pass across the slot to Fuller who pulled the goalie to the right, then slid a back-pass across the top of the crease to Calvin who buried it in the open net to give the Hawks a 3-1 lead. “Dallas and Riley really stepped up,” said Jones. “I thought our whole team played good, some guys scored the goals but Dallas’ first goal was a huge goal and Eddie’s goal to make it 4-2 was huge.” Calvin opened the scoring on a brilliant end to end rush, split-

The Leafs would reply two minutes later when Travis Wellman took a pass from Linden Horswill and wired a snap shot top corner on Clark. But the Hawks would retake the lead for good when Edwards drove down the right side and from a sharp angle snuck it through the pads of Zubick. After Calvin made it 3-1, Troy Petrick would draw the Leafs back within one converting a setup from Patrick Croome. However, Edwards would make it 4-2 when his hard shot went off Zubick’s arm and bounced in with just under two minutes to go in the middle frame. Brandt would deliver the dagger in the third, one-timing a bouncing rebound off a Dan Holland shot into the top corner at 4:47 to make it 5-2. Brandt would add an empty netter with 73 seconds to play to finish the Leafs - at least until the Cyclone Taylor Cup where they will play host next month.

first in playoff scoring, while Brandt moved into seventh spot with 10 goals and 5 assists. The Trail native has been a force throughout the playoffs contributing with a tenacious forecheck and physical play as well as offensive production. “We have a lot of guys that can do it,” said Brandt. “I like scoring, but then again I got to do whatever it take to help my team win.” Holland pitched in with three helpers on the night, while defenceman Walker Sidoni added a pair of assists. The game was a physical match up but there were no penalties called throughout the game. The Hawks outshot the Leafs 43 to 37, and will play the Creston Valley Thundercats for the Kootenay Conference title. The Thundercats defeated the Kimberley Dynamiters in a decisive Game 7 match 5-4 on Saturday. The Cats rallied from a 4-1 deficit going into the third, scoring four times in the final 20 minutes to win the series. Beaver Valley home games will go Friday and Saturday at the B.V. Arena at 7:30 p.m.
Submitted The Selkirk College Saints captured their second consecutive B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League championship on Saturday night with a 5-1 victory over Trinity Western University at the Castlegar Recreation Complex. With the win, the Saints swept the best-of-three series on the heels of a 6-1 decision on Friday. Just as they had in Game 1 a night earlier, Selkirk managed to build a three-goal first period lead that the Spartans would not be able to overcome. Markus McCrea scored the game’s opening goal just 4:29 into regulation when he tapped home a Mason Spear pass from behind the net past TWU starter Silas Matthys. From there, the Saints power-play chipped in a pair of goals before intermission as Jackson Garrett converted a cross-crease feed from former Trail Smoke Eater Darnell Dyck and Trail native Logan Proulx beat Matthys five-hole. TWU’s Blair Murphy brought his team within two midway through the second period with a deflection off a Brad Bakken shot, but Connor McLaughlin restored Selkirk’s three-goal lead minutes later when
he benefited from Scott Swiston’s hard work to create an offensive zone turnover before blasting a shot over Matthys’ glove for a shorthanded marker. Garrett then put to rest any hopes of a Trinity Western comeback early in the third period when he was sprung on a partial breakaway by linemate Cody Fidgett and scored on a backhand deke. Selkirk outshot the Spartans in all three periods and finished the game with a 43-16 advantage in shots on goal. “From our perspective, the compete level from our group was phenomenal, and combined with a high skill level right through the line-up I think it made for a difficult combination to stop. Our leaders really stepped up over the second half of the season and that continued right through both playoff series. It’s very satisfying to see their hard work rewarded with a championship.” This year’s title-winning roster included 15 players who were also part of Selkirk’s BCIHL championship team last season. The Saints finished the season on a 13-game winning streak and last lost in regulation on Nov. 20th in Victoria. Saturday’s result also extended the team’s home winning streak to 29 games.
Curling
Brown takes session lead By Times Contributor
In Trail Retirees curling action last week, a see-saw battle between team Serge Pasquali and team Murray Walsh, came down to the last rock. Walsh, down by two, had a chance to pick out a Pasquali stone almost frozen to shot stone. The front end tried to hold the line, but it over-curled and chipped out both rocks. Make the final 7 – 6 for Pasquali. In another tight game, the Frank Jorgensen foursome faced team Clare Coleman. Team Coleman was up by one without
hammer in the eighth. Needing two for the win, team Jorgensen managed a game winning three for a 7–5 victory. Tied at 6-6 after six team Dan Horan and team Primo Secco duked it out. Team Horan scored two in the seventh to give hammer to Secco in eight. With his last rock, already sitting one, Secco had a draw to the button for the win, but the rock slid too deep, make the final 8–7 Horan. The high-flying Pat Fennell foursome met the second place Ernie Brown rink. Stealing
two in the second and four in the third, team Fennell threw in the towel after six ends giving Brown the game and the session lead. Team Harvey Handley was the more consistent curler as the team beat the Brett Rakuson foursome 10–6. Two four-enders were the difference in the game between Team Tom Hall and team Forrest Drinnan. A steal of four in the second end by the Hall side, then another four in the fifth to put away the win gave Hall a convincing 12-4 victory.

Roy returns to Montreal THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL Patrick Roy was all smiles and positive vibrations on Monday on his first visit to Montreal as an NHL head coach. The Colorado Avalanche coach and former Montreal goaltending great left the Canadiens in controversy in 1996 but made up with the club when they retired his jersey in 2008. He was back the following year for the team’s 100th anniversary celebration. He expects a warm reception when the Avs play the Canadiens on Tuesday night at the Bell Centre. Roy recalled that a poll of Montreal fans overwhelmingly picked COtoMbe him E both coach and general SUPP ORT manager the AofW INCanadiens NING when the making TR ADteam ITIOwas changes N! before the 2012-13 season. “I think it’s going to
be great,” he said. “Two years before, I was No. 1 for coach and GM. I could have had both jobs if it was voted by the fans. “It was a great gesture from them to put me on top and it make me feel good with the fans. It was nice to see that the past is way behind us and everybody’s moved on.” A crowd of media turned out to the Av’s practice at the Bell Centre, perhaps expecting the fiery former goaltender to say something controversial. Instead, Roy was calm and cheerful. Asked if he checked out the banner with his name on it up in the Bell Centre rafters, Roy jokingly said: “I forgot. See how focused I am on the game? “Actually, I lied. I looked at it before, just to make sure it’s still there. No dust on it.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - The mystery of the missing Malaysian Airlines jet has become a hot television story, particularly on CNN last week. The network devoted the bulk of its time Friday to the story, a direct result of ratings showing a fascination among viewers about the Boeing 777 airliner that has been missing since taking off from a Kuala Lumpur airport a week ago. CNN averaged 588,000 viewers for the full day Thursday, well above its average of 320,000 this year. Anderson Cooper’s prime-time show, which has focused heavily on the mystery, more than doubled its typical viewership the last two nights and topped 1.1 million viewers Thursday. The network tracked various theories Friday, a headline on its screen identifying the story as “Vanished.” Correspondent Martin Savidge did several reports from a cockpit simulator, Wolf Blitzer discussed whether the recording of a seismic event in the region on the day the plane took off could be tied to a crash and security experts continued to mull potential terrorism. It has become a water cooler topic, with several social media references to the downed jet that kicked off the popular television series “Lost.” Cooper’s show, which has averaged 444,000 viewers this year, reached 972,000 people on Wednesday, Nielsen said. On both of the last two nights, Cooper achieved the highly unusual feat of topping Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly among the 25- to 54-year-old age demographic. O’Reilly easily won among viewers of all ages. So far, the plane story has meant less for Fox and MSNBC, which have a heavier concentration on political stories. Fox’s full-day average of 1.26 million people on Thursday beat the 1.1 million it has been typically drawing this year. MSNBC had 370,000 viewers, lower than its non-Olympic average of 405,000 this year, Nielsen said.

Street racers can’t catch time-travelling dog
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - Street racers couldn’t catch a time-travelling dog and his son at the multiplex this weekend. Though Disney’s “Need for Speed” was expected to take the No. 1 position at the box office, DreamWorks’ “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” took the lead, with the action film in third place. The animated movie, about the adventures of a genius dog and the human son he adopted, earned $21.2 million, according to studio estimates released Sunday. Debuting last weekend at No. 2, the 3-D kiddie-jaunt features voices from “Modern Family” stars Ty Burrell and Ariel Winter. Mr. Peabody and Sherman first appeared in the 1950s and early 1960s on “Peabody’s Improbable History,” a segment within the animated television series “Rocky and His Friends” and later “The Bullwinkle Show.” “The family marketplace is giving every other genre a run for its money,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for boxoffice tracker Rentrak. “But the St. Patrick’s Day effect could be at play here, where families had to exercise their options at the theatre rather than the pub. That may have paid off for ‘Mr. Peabody.”’ Meanwhile, analysts predicted that “Need for Speed,” based on the popular EA Entertainment video game and starring “Breaking Bad” alum Aaron Paul, would come in at No. 1 this weekend. But with $17.8 million, it arrived at No. 3 in the U.S. But the movie raced to the top of the international box office, bringing in $45.6 million. Warner Bros.’ warrior drama “300: Rise of an Empire,” the 3-D sequel to 2007’s “300,” dropped to second place, with $19.1 million, after debuting at No. 1 last weekend. Though its opening haul of $45.1 million pales in comparison to the original, which debuted with $70.9 million, “Rise of an Empire” has earned more than $78 million since its debut. Tyler Perry’s “The Single Moms Club,” starring Nia Long and Amy Smart, opened with $8.3 million at No. 5. “This is one of Tyler Perry’s lowest debuts ever, but he cranks out hits every year for almost decade,” Dergarabedian said. “He’s allowed a couple of missteps every once in a while.”

We worry for her safety if she continues to hang around John, but my mother-inlaw refuses to believe a word we say and continues to enable Veronica’s behavior. My husband is heartbroken over this.

I have a brother who goes all over the country but has never, in the 50 years we’ve

West Virginia,” but nobody takes the hint. When my father died, I told my son I would probably never see my family again, as we simply can’t afford to travel that far, and they won’t travel here. It really hurts. The only time we talk to
them is if we call. -Little Sister Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net.

Everything was OK for a few weeks, and then she started spending a lot of time with “John.” Every time she walked in the house, she reeked of marijuana. She later told me that John is a drug dealer. He was kicked out of his house, and she has been letting him sleep in her car. Last weekend, we spotted the two of them smoking pot in front of our house. That was the last straw. My husband asked her to leave the next day. We told my mother-

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Wednesday, March 19, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Because you feel sympathetic to the needs of others today, especially those who are less fortunate, you might try to help someone. Be careful that you don’t give away the farm. You need to have a healthy selfinterest as well. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a good day for a heart-to-heart discussion with someone, because people are easily mutually sympathetic. You will listen to others; they will listen to you. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Not only do you feel sympathetic to co-workers today, but someone might want to help you. You have dreams and visions about what you want to achieve. Why not ask for help?
Tuesday, March 18, 2014 Trail Times
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a fabulous day for those involved in creative projects. It’s also a romantic, playful day. Some of you will feel sympathetic to children as well. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You will welcome the chance to be among familiar surroundings and hide at home. You’re not being antisocial; you just want downtime to be by yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might spend time daydreaming and fantasizing because it’s easy to do this today. Don’t worry about wasting time. We all need days like this. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If shopping today, resist the temptation of something that’s luxurious and elegant but too expensive. Even though you appreciate beauty, the bill will have to be paid.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today the Moon is in your sign, dancing with fuzzy Neptune. This stimulates your imagination and promotes artistic creativity. (But you also might be a sucker for a sob story.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Solitude in beautiful surroundings will be a wonderful treat for you today. You need to give yourself a chance to
catch your breath. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A friend, especially a female, might need your help today. Alternatively, you might want to confide in a female friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Relations with bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs are sympathetic yet confusing today. Be clear about what others expect from you. Repeat back to them what
you think they said. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You have strong escapist feelings today. (You want to run away and join the circus.) If you can travel through books, films and movies, you’ll find it gratifying. YOU BORN TODAY You are persistent and not afraid to tackle major feats. You are both a dreamer and a practical doer. You like to test yourself by exploring new ground

Signs of spring
Guy Bertrand photo
Another sign that spring arrives in the West Kootenay this week is the appearance of more and more Canada geese, including this pair on the Columbia River Monday. According to Hinterland Who’s Who, the geese head north in the spring and follow the retreating snow line. Geese are known to make several stops along the journey to store up reserves for the final leg north.
