Local election contributions and expenses released BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
There's no question it takes thick skin to be a politician. But with civic election finances now public, voters can get the skinny on the cost to win, or lose, a seat in local government. Under the Election Act, all campaign financial disclosures had to be filed with Elections BC within 90 days of the Nov. 15 election. Now that the Feb. 13 deadline has passed, financial reports and political contributions in the province's municipal election can be viewed online at elections.bc.ca. While there doesn't appear to be a recurring trend in cost versus number of votes, locally it seems that the larger the populace the higher the expense. From a pool of 5,623 voters, Trail Mayor Mike Martin's campaign tipped the scales at just over $10,000. The first term mayor covered more than 60 per cent of related expenses himself, mostly to advertise on the radio and to print brochures, signs and billboards. Of the four Trail mayoral candidates, Doug Jones was second behind Martin. His campaign costs were about $8,200, which for the most part, were covered by contributions from various union entities. Third in the race, was Ian McLean, though his costs were nil – no funds collected and no funds spent. Roger Catalano, spent almost $700 from his own pocket to run, with most of the money used for signs, brochures and to advertise in the newspaper. The mayor's race in Rossland drew a voter turnout of 62 per cent from the city's 2,587 eligible constituents. The costs were similar to Trail, but with a very large monetary expanse between Mayor Kathy Moore's expenses and contributions versus adversary Jill Spearn's. With one Rossland corpora-
tion's contribution of $5,000, Moore's overall expenditures and income balanced at $7,970. Spearn, on the other hand, finished well behind Moore both in votes and in campaign costs. Her financial summary shows $1,859 in expenses and one individual contribution of $1,574. Within the area's smaller communities, winning the mayor's seat generally cost under $1,000. Of Warfield's three mayoral candidates, Ted Pahl, a rookie politician won the top seat for the least amount of dollars. Pahl garnered about 70 per cent of the popular vote with $225 in contributions, which included a $150 corporate donation. His total expenditures were $223 to pay for signs and advertising brochures. Second in the race was veteran politician Bill Trewhella, who used $1,000 from his own pocket to cover expenses related to advertising and other incidentals. James Nelson, a seasoned Warfield mayor and councillor spent $650 in personal funds to advertise on the radio, in the newspaper and on printed materials. Montrose's two-candidate mayoral race had incumbent Joe Danchuk using $700 of his own money to pay toward advertising, while second-place Griff Welsh's campaign cost about $500, with half of that used in a reception for election helpers. Similarly in Salmo, Mayor Stephen White spent about $485 to garner almost 50 per cent of the village's popular vote. Henry Huser used $350 of his own money to gain about 39 per cent of the vote. Dennis McLean followed in third, however he didn't spend a dime or list any expenses, according to the Elections BC financial statement. Watch the Trail Times this week for a follow-up story reviewing councillor and school district trustee costs and expenses.

Free tax preparation offered locally for low income earners BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
Seniors, students and low income earners take note – number crunchers have pencils sharpened, ready to do your taxes for free. The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) is a collaboration between the Canada Revenue Agency and local organizations with an objective to help eligible taxpayers who need help preparing and filing income tax and benefit returns. To qualify for the free service, individual income must be under $30,000; family earnings
less than $40,000; and for a single parent with one child, $35,000 with $2,500 allowed for each individual child. In Greater Trail, the CVITP service has been running for about a decade, and over that period, saved countless individual and families from losing a portion of their tax return to processing fees. “I chose to volunteer for the program because there are a lot of people who don't have the money to pay to have their returns done,” says Elaine Jones, four-year CVITP member.

ersonal tax r e v i e w s by Canada R e v e n u e Agency (CRA) are routine. A prior column outlined some of the usual claims reviewed each year by CRA. Here are some trending reviews gaining room on CRA’s radar. CRA is frequently asking for proof of custody arrangements with separated couples because sometimes a claim is made by both parents for the dependant amounts but this is not allowable, the first year of separation exempt. The duplication of a dependant claim results in a review of both parents’ returns. If spousal support has been paid and claimed as an “Other Deduction” on line 232, CRA reviews to
ensure that in fact it’s the correct amount and has actually been paid. The paper trail to prove this must be meticulous. Union dues and association fees are reviewed for a number of reasons. First, CRA requires the slips to state official tax receipt. Second, amounts for courses, lectures, conventions, and seminars have to be excluded from the claim. Third, CRA checks for duplication of the claim because sometimes the dues or fees are reported on a T4 and also on an official tax receipt. And finally, CRA wants proof that these amounts were not reimbursed by an employer. Governments worldwide are ferreting out tax dollars

Clarke Tax Tips & Pits
wherever they can so it’s no surprise CRA is increasing its scrutiny on taxpayers earning income from sources abroad and claiming exempt foreign income on line 256 and a foreign tax credit on line 405. Ducks in row on making these claims is imperative. This type of attention is also being applied by CRA to Canadian’s owning foreign assets as evidenced by little known form T1135 bursting
into the forefront of tax reporting last year. Check out CRA’s website on this one, it’s a beauty. A review of a northern allowance claim must provide a lease agreement or utility bill to prove the physical location of the northern residence. A review of the volunteer firefighter or search and rescue expense must provide a letter from the department stating 200 hours of volunteer service. A review of student loan interest expense must be for Canada Student Loans only and the applicable form from the government must be provided. A review of a public transit claim must include all slips, and daily passes are not

claimable. Avoiding a review is not possible, only lucky. The secret is to ready yourself to make a review straightforward by researching and reporting appropriately on your tax return to begin with. And if a review arrives, resolve it within the 30 day limit. If it isn’t, CRA will re-assess automatically and to correct it requires a T1 adjustment. If you happen to use a professional preparer, maybe a chat with them will help, although not all firms do this free of charge.

Nelson
Top spender didn’t Clinics in Trail, Fruitvale and Rossland win mayor’s seat By Greg Nesteroff Nelson Star
John Dooley spent $14,780 in his unsuccessful Nelson mayoral campaign last fall, the most of the three candidates, according to financial disclosure statements released today by Elections BC. That was compared to $10,350 that Deb Kozak spent winning the race. Pat Severyn, who finished third, spent $6,779. The figures include both cash donations and in-kind services. More than a third of Dooley’s total campaign contributions came from a single source: Kalesnikoff Lumber of Thrums, which put up $5,000. Other key contributors were Nelson Ford ($1,000), K. and D. Higgins ($750), Ward Engineering and Land Surveying ($500), Andy Leathwood ($500), and Marwest Industries ($500). Shambhala (Rick and Sue Bundschuh) also gave his campaign $300, as did Tony Maida. Kozak’s largest single contribution was $3,120 from Deryn Collier. She also received cash or services worth $1,000 from Terrance and Kathleen Eddy, $1,000 from Joann Lowell, $800 from Sam Van Schie, and $500 from Faye Spilker. MLA Michelle Mungall donated $200. Severyn only had $4,279 in outside contributions. He personally put up the other $2,500. His largest expenditure — $3,300 — was on signs and billboards, which were repeatedly vandalized. Severyn’s biggest donations mostly came from businesses that also contributed to the Dooley campaign. For instance, the Civic Hotel (Brent Holowaychuk and Tanya Finley) gave $500 to Severyn, but Finley also gave $200 to Dooley. Nelson Hotel Ltd. (Dan and Joanne Rickaby) gave $500 each to Severyn and Dooley. Martech Electrical also donated $500 each to Dooley and Severyn. Pacific Insight gave Severyn a further $500. The Hume Hotel (Dave and Sheila Martin) gave $200 to Severyn and $100 to Kozak. The full disclosure forms can be found below. For the first time, Elections BC has posted online all of the financial information from the 2014 local government elections.
FROM PAGE 1 “It could be $60 bucks, which might not sound like a huge fee, but they just don’t have it.” The steady stream of people accessing the program grows longer each year, as word about the free tax service spreads. “Last year, I did 100 returns,” Jones said. “Another volunteer did 100, and the other three volunteers each did 35. “So we are doing quite a few as the message gets out.” Jones maintains that often low income earners, and people on assistance, don’t feel empowered to file a yearly tax return. That outlook is changing somewhat, she explained, because if the annual income tax forms are not filed, then the person won’t receive benefits such as G.S.T. and climate control rebate cheques, a guaranteed income supplement, or child tax benefits. “I have the program back to 2005,” she noted. “So if anybody comes in with eight or even 10 years of taxes, I can do that for them. I can get them all caught up so they can start receiving the rebate cheques they are entitled to.” From March 2 to April 30, free tax clinics will run five days a week from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m,. throughout Greater Trail, starting with the Trail Senior’s Centre (Greater Trail Community Centre)

The program then moves to the Beaver Valley Manor on Laurier Ave. in Fruitvale on Thursdays, then every Friday, volun-
teers will be on site in Rossland at the Esling Park Lodge on Spokane Street. People accessing the program are asked to bring all slips including T3s, T4s, T5s and receipts for medical expenses, child arts and recreational programs, charitable donations, as well as a copy of the previous year’s return. All information is confidential and once the tax return is electronically filed, the computers are wiped clean (information is not stored year-to-year). Interviews are on a firstcome-first-serve basis. For more information, visit the Trail Times website, trailtimes.ca and click on the calendar link for a listing of dates, times, and contact information for the program. Persons with investment income well in excess of $1,000, capital gains/ losses, partnership income, rental income, business or professional income, farming or fishing income, or anyone with complex deductions may be deemed ineligible for this service. Additionally, CVITP is unable to prepare final returns for deceased persons, and other limitations may apply. By the last day of tax season, Canadians will spend between $4 billion and $5.8 billion preparing and filing personal income tax returns, with the average cost per person being $215, according to a study by the Fraser Institute.
Rossland
Corporate and community effort kept city’s carnival costs down By Alicia Wallace Rossland News
The City of Rossland’s contribution to Winter Carnival’s snow acquisition and placement this year was $4000 less than in 2014 thanks to the assistance of Big Red Cats, Impact Equipment and the efforts of numerous volunteers. After last year’s event, many of the organizers were ready to walk away from the Rail Jam competition. In 2013 the city provided support for the Winter Carnival to the tune of $17,297, an increase of 75 per cent from the previous year. The labour bill had run high due to the lack of snow and the Rail Jam was the main culprit for the overspend. In 2012 Rail
Jam cost the city $3,584 and in 2013 it had risen to $8,404. Justin Cure of Rossvegas Board Shop and Brian Potter from Powderhound Sports committed to bringing down the cost to the residents of Rossland this year by finding volunteers to assist with the Rail Jam event. They succeeded in their efforts and hosted the best Rail Jam event Rossland has ever experienced. The Rail Jam was visually stunning, particularly for those coming through the main street of Rossland who could look up at the course. Councillor Lloyd McLellan was overwhelmed by the community’s participation in the 2015 Winter Carnival. “I am

impressed by, and grateful for, the amount of volunteer work donated to make this year’s Winter Carnival a success,” he said. It was not an easy feat to bring the Big Red Cat in from storage near Nancy Greene. Organizers were surprised to learn they would have to apply for a permit and have three pilot vehicles escort the cat into town during the early hours of the morning due to the size and speed the cat moves. Thankfully Impact Equipment stepped up and donated their services to escort the cat to Rossland before the 5 a.m. curfew. A volunteer, who stockpiled and prepared the snow, operated the cat for two days.
“I would also like to make huge thanks to Big Red Cats and Impact Equipment for the use and transportation of the groomer. I thought it was incredible, the assistance saved one and a half days to build the Rail Jam course. I blinked and the course was built,” said Cure. Winter Carnival committee member Lisa Wegner explained the volunteers and the community minded organizations saved the carnival from becoming carnage. “Their (Big Red Cats and Impact Equipment) commitment to the cause has had a positive outcome for our city funding. With the extra efforts they put in, it kept the costs in check and essentially saved two pinnacle events,” said Wegner.

B.C. mines minister aims for right audience with next trip to Alaska
THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER British Columbia’s mines minister is making plans to visit Alaska’s indigenous fishing community after admitting his first trip to the state following the Mount Polley disaster addressed “probably the wrong audience.” Bill Bennett spoke at a major mining industry conference last fall, but met with none of the tribal groups in the southeast region presumed most threatened by upstream mining across the border in B.C. In retrospect, Bennett said people living off the sea in the transboundary region have every right to be concerned about mines in his province, but that he wants to stem the rising anxiety by sharing more information. “They do not have the kind of information and understanding of how we do things here in British Columbia that they need to have, and that’s probably our fault,” he told The Canadian Press. “I think that we can relieve some of these fears.” Bennett has asked a binational economic think-tank to consider organizing a
symposium to bring both sides together in one of the southeastern Alaska towns at the heart of its multibillion-dollar fishing industry. Bennett said he hopes the Pacific NorthWest Economic Region will convene a forum in a few months to share best practices and raise awareness about B.C.’s “rigorous” permitting process. His idea comes after an independent report released in late January on the Mount Polley tailings dam spill that spewed 24 million cubic metres of silt and water into salmonbearing rivers in the provincial Interior last August. An engineering panel concluded a design flaw was to blame for the breach. Bennett travelled to Anchorage last November on the invitation of the Alaska Miners Association. He said he incorrectly assumed that aboriginal groups would be there. His “empathy” for the fishing community has prompted his pledge for a second trip, but the summit concept is already being panned. “So they go there once a year and try to create a big meeting
Call for nominations for the
with a thousand people in the room? This is going to be a disaster,” said Marcello Veiga, a University of British Columbia mining professor whose lectures focus on the industry’s relationship with society and the environment. He said Bennett’s plan is exactly the opposite of what he teaches, warning that conflict is likely if various groups are brought together before they’ve established trust. And while Veiga said there’s a low risk of the Alaskan watershed being contaminated by B.C.’s mining industry, he added that having engineers simply inundate the public with data is not a solution. “Facts will not change perceptions. What changes perceptions is trust.” Members of the fishing community in southeast Alaska were immediately wary. “I trust the mining minister as far as I can throw a rock,” said Rob Sanderson Jr., a vice-president of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, based in Ketchikan. While he welcomes Bennett’s visit, he said what’s required to get his 30,000 members onside would be more face-to-face meetings, meaningful consultation and the addition of a long-term mining liaison from B.C. in the region. “Instead of shooting arrows at each other
from across the border, you know?” Chris Zimmer of Rivers Without Borders said from Juneau, Alaska, that action is needed instead of talk. “If he wants to just come over here and do a PR campaign ... I don’t think that’s going to work.” Zimmer said people were insulted last fall by Bennett’s message that southeast Alaskans would stop worrying if only they understood how B.C. mines are reviewed. “It was patronizing, it was condescending,” he said. “A lot of us have been watching the B.C. permitting process for 10 to 15 years and we have a lot of problems with what we’ve seen.” He cited examples including acid pollution from the longabandoned Tulsequah Chief Mine in northwestern B.C., with an estimated 16 tons of waste water flowing into Alaska’s salmonbearing Taku River every year. Zimmer also noted that the Red Chris copper and gold mine in B.C. was granted interim approval to open its tailings facility only days after the Mount Polley report specifically cautioned against a similar type of dam. The permit runs through May, after which the company must seek further approval from the province’s chief inspector of mines.
Province digs deeper into ICBC, Hydro piggy banks By Jeff Nagel Black Press
The B.C. government intends to pull more money out of ICBC in the years ahead. The annual dividend from the public auto insurer – which goes into general government revenue despite repeated demands from critics for lower premiums instead – is estimated at $160 million a year in each of 2015, 2016 and 2017, according to budget documents. That’s an increase from estimates of $155 million for 2015 and $125 million for 2016 in last year’s budget. By the end of 2017, the province will have taken $1.5 billion from ICBC coffers since 2010. The money comes from the profits on ICBC’s optional insurance side, which can’t be used to reduce basic auto premiums because the two sides of the business are segregated. Critics accused the government of building its budget surplus by having Crown corporations like ICBC and BC Hydro charge customers more than is required. Finance Minister Mike de Jong calls it a dividend to the shareholders. Electricity rates are rising six per cent while BC Hydro’s net income – most of which is remitted to government – climbs from $549 million last year to about $700 million by 2017. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has promised to eventually reduce and eliminate the Hydro transfers. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation was critical of the latest 4.2 per cent increase in Medical Service Plan premiums, calling it a continuing tax hike that exceeds inflation. A family of three will pay $150 per month in MSP premiums, up 40 per cent in five years. The pattern of service fee increases and income tax restraint is a recurring one in B.C. budgets.

Golf club asks for rent break By Alex Cooper
Revelstoke Times Review
Revelstoke city council is being asked to forgive all rent money owed to the city by the Revelstoke Golf Club, and to draft a new lease that eliminates the club’s rent. A report to council from city finance director Graham Inglis recommends that “all outstanding rent, accrued interest and applicable taxes owed by the golf club to the City of Revelstoke be written off,” and that “staff be directed to draft a new lease with

the golf club that eliminates any future rental obligations.” The Revelstoke Golf Club leases the golf course from the city for an annual amount, however Inglis’ report shows the club has not paid rent for the past three years and owes the city about $43,000, including taxes and interest. The golf club made the news in December after asking for direct city funding as part of the parks, recreation and culture budget. The club has been working hard to turnaround its finances after a series of losses in recent years. The request was discussed at the closed-door portion of the Dec. 22 meeting of council. According to a Dec. 22 report by Inglis to council that has now been made public, the golf club entered into
a five year lease with the city starting Nov. 1, 2012. Under the lease, the club would pay a lease equal to two per cent of gross revenues in the first two years, three per cent in the third year, and five per cent in the third and fourth years of the lease. The club owes the city $35,858 in rent, not including taxes. Writing off the unpaid rent would impact the city’s bottom line, wrote Inglis. “The city budgeted a general operating surplus for 2014 of $51,277. A write off of the club’s rent would reduce this budgeted surplus to $15,419.” The write-off would be the equivalent of raising property taxes by 0.4 per cent, the report states. The 2015 draft financial plan doesn’t include any rent from the golf club.

New voter ID rules face charter challenge; groups seek Elections Act injunction
Ontario
Sex education curriculum revised THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Ontario’s revised sex education curriculum will teach Grade 1 students about proper names for body parts and how to understand non-verbal signals like facial expressions and tone of voice. Details of the first update to the province’s health and physical education curriculum since 1998 were released by Education Minister Liz Sandals this morning. Grade 2 students will learn about the stages of development and related bodily changes along with the concept that “no means no,” as well as some elements of verbal and physical violence. By Grade 3, students will lean about same sex relationships, while lessons about changes associated with puberty will move from Grade 5 to Grade 4. Students in Grade 6 will learn about masturbation and “gender expression,” while kids in Grades 7 and 8 will discuss contraception, anal and oral sex, preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. The changes are contained in a 240-page health and physical education curriculum for Grades 1 to 8 and a 218-page covering Grades 9 to 12. The Liberal government backed away from an attempted update of the sex ed curriculum in 2010 after protests by some religious groups. But Premier Kathleen Wynne has vowed that the updated curriculum will be in place for the start of the school year in September.
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Two advocacy groups are asking the courts to set aside new Conservative election rules that they say will make it more difficult for thousands of Canadians to vote in this year’s federal election. The Council of Canadians and the Canadian Federation of Students have filed evidence to support a constitutional challenge of last year’s legislation, dubbed the Fair Elections Act by the Harper government. “The very legitimacy of the government is at issue if these rules stand, in our submission,” lawyer Steven Shrybman told a news conference Monday. The groups say new voter identification rules contravene Section 3 of the charter, which states everyone has the right to vote, as well as the equality provisions in the Constitution. The office of Democratic Reform Minister Pierre Poilievre did not respond to a request for comment on
Canadians. Jessica McCormick of the student federation said thousands of post-secondary students looking to vote for the first time this year will be shut out by the new rules requiring ID with a local address. With a fixed federal election date set for mid-October, time is quickly running out for the legal challenge. A court date has yet to be set to hear the case, said Shrybman. The groups will seek a court injunction setting aside the new election rules if the case can’t be heard before Canadians go to the polls. Shrybman noted that fewer than 10,000 votes spread across 16 close ridings were the difference between a Conservative majority and minority in the last election. “Remember that a few hundred votes, a few dozen votes - certainly a few thousand votes - can determine the outcome of an election in any riding,” said Shrybman.

New premier takes over reins from departing Ghiz
THE CANADIAN PRESS CHARLOTTETOWN - Wade MacLauchlan became Prince Edward Island’s 32nd premier on Monday, taking over for Robert Ghiz.

He was unopposed for the leadership of the Liberal party, which holds 23 of the
Quebec
Protests planned THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - A coalition of groups opposing the Quebec government’s austerity measures plans to conduct about what it calls 40 “disruptive actions” across the province this week. A spokesperson for the coalition says there will be five or six events per day this week in Montreal and beyond. These will include marches and protests as well as more creative actions such as flash mobs. On Feb 25, activists in La Baie in the Saguenay-area plan to build an ice wall in front of the office of a local Liberal member of the legislature, Serge Simard. The events have been organized by community groups, unions, and student groups, including the militant student organization ASSE, one of the leaders of the massive 2012 student protests in Montreal. The groups are planning other actions throughout the spring, including a provincewide protest day on April 2 and a new round of student class-
the court challenge. The Fair Elections Act was introduced last February to near-universal condemnation from electoral experts from across Canada and abroad, and the Conservatives eventually removed a number of the most contentious aspects of the bill before rushing it through the House of Commons and the Senate. However the new rules still forbid voters from using the Elections Canada voter identification card mailed to their home as proof of residency - although some 400,000 voters used the cards for this purpose in the 2011 federal election. The law also now sets up a more restrictive process for attesting to the identity of voters who don’t have proper identification - a process known as vouching, which allowed 120,000 additional voters to cast a ballot in 2011. “The most fundamental right in a democratic society is the right to vote in elections that are free and fair,” said Gary Neal of the left-leading Council of
room boycotts. Group leaders are asking the government to roll back austerity measures which they say have affected the quality of public services in the province.

inal affairs and intergovernmental affairs. Seven members of Ghiz’s cabinet remain in their current roles or take on an additional portfolio. MacLauchlan, 60, also becomes chairman of the Council of the Federation, which is made up of all Canadian premiers.
He jumped into politics following a career as a lawyer and academic, including more than a decade as president of the University of P.E.I. One of the first major decisions MacLauchlan will have to make is whether to seek a seat in the legislature in a byelection
or call a general election. When he became leader of the party on Saturday, MacLauchlan said his government will focus on the economy, open government, citizen engagement and dealing challenges created by the province’s aging population.

Why should B.C. cut taxes for the rich?
T
he B.C. government’s third straight budget surplus is the main battleground for provincial politicians this spring, with little else on the order paper to argue about. The main conflict is over the tax cut for the rich that results from removing a two-year surtax on personal income greater than $150,000 a year. It’s an outrage, says the NDP, starving our threadbare government services of more than $200 million over the next three years. NDP leader John Horgan set the tone in his reply to Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s budget speech: “I can appreciate that the minister was celebrating with the champagneand-caviar set, but the rest of British Columbia saw $700 million in increased fees and taxes on their backs.” Old news, de Jong
replied. It was a two-year surtax on high-income earners to help get B.C. out of its post-recession red ink, and it expired as it was legislated to do. This political theatre doesn’t help people understand what’s actually going on. First, a lot of that red ink was B.C. Liberal blood from dismantling the harmonized sales tax and repaying Ottawa for that failed experiment. Second, this temporary tax on the rich was a political strategy by de Jong and Premier Christy Clark, limping into an election most expected them to lose. De Jong’s debut budget in February 2013 also accelerated a small increase in corporate income tax, stealing two populist planks from Adrian Dix’s NDP platform. Ending the surtax not only kept a promise, it kept B.C. competitive with Alberta on personal income taxes. High wage

earners and many of their businesses are more mobile every year, which is why this year’s budget also extended tax breaks for high-tech and digital media companies. Another tweak in de Jong’s budget was to increase the lowincome cutoff for personal income tax from $18,000 to $19,000. Those with the lowest incomes are relieved not only of income tax but also medical premiums, which continue to march up by another four per cent, and are mostly paid by
employers. As with the federal election set for this fall, we will hear a lot about the burden on the vaguely defined “middle class.” In B.C. they have to dig deeper for car insurance, hydro, ferry rides and post-secondary tuition, while those top-hatted champagne-sippers party on with their tax holiday? Well, not exactly. Here’s an assessment from Philip Cross, research co-ordinator at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and former chief economic analyst at Statistics Canada. Just after the 2013 B.C. election, Cross noted that Canada, its provinces, Europe and the United States have all been adjusting their tax systems to increase the load on wealthier people and ease it from the poor. This has closed the wage gap considerably in Canada. By 2010, the top 20 per cent of earners were
paying 58.3 per cent of all income taxes. That’s up from 50 per cent in 1976, showing how long Canada’s income taxes have been “progressive.” This is the main reason why “income inequality,” that other great cause of the left, started leveling off in Canada around 1998. Cross points to measures like the low-income exemption from income tax. By 2013, the bottom 40 per cent of Canadian households were paying just 6.8 per cent of income taxes, and more than a third of income tax filers were paying none at all. Cross asks and answers the central question: Should the rich pay more? “If it’s a misinformed attempt to compensate for imaginary losses of low-income people, the answer is clearly no.” Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

reconnaissance aircraft and a refueler. Collectively they have flown 500 sorties. Last fall both New Democrat Leader Tom Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau pointedly refused to vote for the mission, knowing that public support for sending a few warplanes was strong, but that people were leery of committing ground troops. Before Harper extends Canada’s murky mission, he should shed some light on it. Parliament has good reason to push for credible answers. Harper’s enthusiasm for intervention in Iraq goes back a long way, to George W. Bush’s ill-conceived invasion in 2003. As opposition leader he was eager to send Canadian troops but later conceded the invasion “was absolutely an error.” Happily, then-prime minister Jean Chrétien had the foresight to steer clear of that debacle. Before we commit more troops, Canadians deserve to know where this is taking us, and what we can reasonably hope to accomplish.

the U.S. and its allies run out of Islamic State targets to pound from the air, the decisive campaign against the jihadists will be fought on the ground. Given that Harper misled Canadians back on Oct. 3, 2014, when he told Parliament that our forces would have only a “noncombat” role and that there would be “no ground combat mission,” any plans to extend the mission or provide additional forces deserve more than routine scrutiny. As Canadians now know, our small contingent of fewer than 70 troops based in northern Iraq has been doing much more than training. They have been providing front line surveillance on enemy targets, calling in Canadian fighterbomber strikes from our base in Kuwait and using lasers to “paint” jihadist targets. They operate so close to the action that they have come under fire, and fired back. This is about fighting. Apart from the “trainers,” Canada has six CF-18 warplanes based in Kuwait, along with 600 personnel, two

An editorial from the Toronto Star Does Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservative government actually have any idea of what “success” fighting the Islamic State jihadists in Iraq and Syria might look like, much less how long the battle may rage and at what cost? Or are Canadian troops about to be signed on for another risky tour of duty training Iraqi security forces and bombing jihadist targets, with no real sense that the threat is being neutralized? That’s a question Parliament should be asking as Harper lays the groundwork for extending the six-month mission next month. Make no mistake. As Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby recently put it, “this is gonna be a long struggle.” Inevitably, pressure is building on Canada and other allies to provide more “trainers” at bases in Iraq where 3,600 troops are in the pipeline.

Program host Ezra Levant, known for his rants, captured only 0.0002 per cent of Canadian viewers. I wonder who they were. There was good environmental news in the Salish Sea – another baby Orca was born to J-Pod, the endangered southern resident pod well known to Vancouverites and residents of the Gulf Islands. Earlier, possibly New Year’s Day, another Orca was born. Two Orca births in two months is good news for a population that lost a pregnant mother in early December 2014. After four J-Pod Orcas died in 2014, there were only 25 healthy breeding females. The two new calves bring J-Pod’s population up to 79. Common to all of the above good news is the fresh perspective of youth. The old white men columnists at the National Post, the predominantly old white men CEOs in the Alberta oil patch, and the mystery viewers of Sun News Network are up against a changing climate of public awareness and opinion. Leading the charge are well-educated young Canadians – and two healthy baby Orcas.

Grand Forks resident hits lottery jackpot
Scotiabank’s growing contributions
Senger said he came up with the winning numbers years ago. “I put some numbers in a hat from one to 49 and shook it up good and picked them out randomly. I’ve used those numbers pretty steadily since then. Senger travelled to the B.C. Lottery Corporation headquarters in Kamloops on Friday where he confirmed that he had the correct numbers. He spoke to the Gazette over the phone from there. He said he was pretty calm when he found out and that the ladies at Pharmasave were more excited. “I was pretty excited but I didn’t want to show too much,” said Senger. Senger said he hasn’t told too many people other than close relatives. He hasn’t made any big plans yet for the money. “I think I’m just going to bring it home and deposit it in the credit union, I guess,” he said. “I’ll think about it for awhile.”
By Craig Lindsay Grand Forks Gazette
A Grand Forks resident won’t have to worry about car payments or having to scrimp and save for that vacation trip to Mexico any time soon after winning the lottery. Frank Senger is $5 million richer after picking all six numbers (3, 6, 11, 15, 20 and 37) in Lotto 6/49 on Thursday at Pharmasave in Grand Forks. “I was a little bit surprised,” he told the Gazette. “But I knew it was going to come up one day because I’ve been buying tickets for awhile. I had as good a chance as anyone.” Senger said he has been buying lottery tickets regularly and has won smaller amounts from time to time. “I won $1,000 about seven or eight years ago,” he said. “I won a $10 and a few bucks and free plays here and there over the years.” The odds of correctly picking all six numbers were 1 in 13,983,816.

Clark Terry
Jazz musician played with Basie, Ellington and ‘The Tonight Show’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Legendary jazz trumpeter Clark Terry, who mentored Miles Davis and Quincy Jones and played in the orchestras of both Count Basie and Duke Ellington and on “The Tonight Show,” has died. He was 94. Terry’s wife announced his death on his website late Saturday night. Gwen Terry’s statement did not provide further details, and she did not immediately respond to messages from The Associated Press. “Our beloved Clark Terry has joined the big band in heaven where he’ll be singing and playing with the angels,” Gwen Terry wrote on the musician’s official Facebook page. Terry had been in failing health in recent years after suffering from extreme complications of diabetes. Terry, who had been living in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, entered into hospice care earlier this month. “The world has lost one of the greatest trumpeters to ever
grace the planet,” Quincy Jones wrote on his Facebook page. “Clark Terry was my first trumpet teacher as a teen in Seattle, my idol, and my brother. When he left the Basie and Ellington bands, also two of my idols, to join mine, it was one of the most humbling moments in my life.” Jones honoured his mentor by co-producing the documentary “Keep on Keepin’ On,” which premiered last September and focused on the relationship between Terry and his young protege, blind jazz pianist Justin Kauflin. During a career spanning more than seven decades, Terry was a mentor to generations of jazz musicians, starting with Miles Davis, who first met Terry as a teenage. “Miles credits me as being one of his influences, one of his motivators that inspired him,” Terry said in a 1991 interview. After a stint in the Navy from 1942-45, Terry worked in a number of bands before join-
ing the Count Basie Orchestra in 1948. Three years later, he joined Duke Ellington’s band, an experience he referred to in interviews as attending “the University of Ellingtonia.” During his 1951-59 stint with the Ellington band, Terry also began playing the rounder-toned flugelhorn, an instrument he helped popularize among jazz musicians. In 1960, he became the first African-American musician hired as a staff musician at NBC and joined the house band on “The Tonight Show,” where he played for nearly a decade. He became known for his spontaneously improvised mumbling scat singing on the show, and his playful routines led to “Mumbles,” a 1964 recording with the Oscar Peterson Trio that became his signature song. In 1991, Terry was named an NEA Jazz Master, the nation’s highest jazz honour, and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010.
Blind wine taster’s renown grows with each swirl, sniff and gulp where I am. I don’t think it’s better than anyone else’s, but I focus on smell and hearing to get around, so in that sense, they are enhanced because I rely on them more.” Wedler works and studies 110 hours a week earning a chemistry doctorate from the University of California, Davis and operating a non-profit that conducts three-day science camps for the blind. Wedler’s been honoured at the White House for his work inspiring disabled people. Wedler was born with a rare disorder that required the surgical removal of his eyes. “I was devastated,” Wedler’s mother Terry Wedler said when told her son was blind soon after his birth. Lying in bed after the birth, the veteran school teacher decided to dedicate her professional life to educating the blind. She earned a master’s degree in educating blind and visually impaired students. She said she was also blessed with an exceedingly curious son, who soon developed and honed his other senses. “He was born a really inquisitive little person,” Terry Wedler said. “He could speak really well and would converse with people when he was little. We smelled things all the time. He just explored the world that way and it kept expanding.”
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DAVIS, Calif. - Hoby Wedler was born blind and curious 27 years ago. He’s used those two traits - and a refined sense of smell and taste - to develop an expert palette that is garnering rave reviews in California’s wine region. The Sacramento Bee reported Sunday that Wedler’s monthly “Tasting in the Dark” series at the Francis Ford Coppola Winery is growing in popularity. Participants are blindfolded and asked to taste and judge wine like Wedler does. “He’s bringing a new dimension to our field and getting people to look at wine in a different way. It’s breaking down barriers,” said Corey Beck, president and director of winemaking at the Geyserville winery. “Here’s somebody who’s blind, and he’s better at describing the wine than 99.9 per cent of the winemakers out there.” He’s been asked to put his palette to work tasting beer and food as well. The Sierra Nevada brewery in Chico sold out a “Tasting in the Dark” beer tasting event hosted by Wedler. His sense of smell is so heightened that he can know what various intersections in Davis smell like. The city itself, Wedler says, smells like alfalfa. “I pay a lot of attention to detail,” Wedler said. “I’ve always loved relying on my sense of smell to tell me

Nelson steals one in Beaver Valley Smokies drop BCHL

final home game
Times Sports Editor
The Nelson Leafs’ Rayce Miller scored at 13:11 of the third overtime period and Michael Crawford netted a hat trick to power the Leafs to a 5-4 victory over the Beaver Valley Nitehawks at the Hawks Nest on Saturday. The Nitehawks shutout the Leafs in Game 1 on Friday, 5-0, but the Leafs came back more determined and more physical in Game 2 to tie the series. “Our team has had to deal with a lot of adversity all year with injuries, and we’ve played with nine forwards and four defenceman since about October, so we’re use to that part of it,” said Nelson head coach Dave McLellan. “I thought we executed a pretty good game plan, even last night’s (Friday’s) game wasn’t really a 5-0 loss in our opinion and I told our guys that, and I really thought we showed a lot of resilience tonight.” The Hawks overcame a 4-2 deficit in the third period to tie it, and held the edge in play in the three overtime periods. However, Miller would end it, winning a battle behind the Nitehawks goal and scoring when his centring pass caromed off the back of Hawk goalie Carson Schamerhorn and into the net. The Nelson defence was solid, keeping the majority of shots to the perimeter and AP goalie Jason Mailhiot of the Midget Kootenay Ice was poised and deliberate in his rebound control, making several big saves in just his second start as a Leaf. “They made some adjustments, based on how they played in the first game, and they

Nelson d-man Patrick Croome clears Hawks captain Taylor Stafford from the front of the net as the Nelson Leafs played a more physical game against the Beaver Valley Nitehawks in Game 2 on Saturday, evening the Murdoch division semi-final series with a 5-4 triple-overtime victory. keyed on our top players and played them physical and played them hard and that’s just what playoffs are all about,” said Nitehawks assistant coach Kevin Limbert. B.V. opened the scoring when Allan Pruss deflected a Tyler Leicht shot past Mailhiot at 13:03 of the first period, but Nelson would respond on a Tyler Fyfe goal at 10:42. Nelson then took the lead on the power play when Miller circled behind the net and sent a pass short side in front while drawing the goalie and d-man across the crease, leaving Michael Crawford standing alone with a wide open net to put the Leafs up 2-1 at 5:47. The Hawks got it back on a goal from Kyle Hope. After David Nemes gained the blue line, he made a quick dish to Hope who wired it blocker side with just over two minutes to play. Crawford however would give Nelson
a 3-2 lead before the period was out, taking a pass from Matt MacDonald at centre ice, then streaking by the Hawks defence and backhanding it under the arm of Hawks starter Drake Poirier. “We got out of the gate a little bit slow and we didn’t have the start we were looking for and Nelson they came ready to play and battled us hard and were very physical against us,” said Limbert. “I thought we got better as the game wore on but we put ourselves in a bit of a hole early on.” The Hawks outshot the Leafs 14-13 in the first, but Nelson played the Nitehawks tight in the second period giving B.V. little time and space to manufacture any quality scoring opportunities. Crawford scored the only goal of the period, breaking in on a 2-on1 with Brendan Smith, and ripping one low blocker side for the hattrick at 17:51 to chase
Poirier. The Nitehawks would mount a comeback in the third. Reid Anderson’s point shot found its way through traffic at 16:32 to make it 4-3. Then with time winding down, Ross Armour would pick up the puck, rush down the right side, and fire a wrist shot at the goal. The puck squeaked through Mailhiot’s arm and lay waiting for Spencer McLean to bang it into the open cage with 1:26 remaining to send it to OT. The Nitehawks outshot the Leafs 36-30 through three periods, and would control much of the play in the overtime, outshooting Nelson 22-15 but could not beat the 17-year-old Trail native or capitalize on a power play in the second OT when MacDonald was sent off for high sticking. Sam Swanson came close when he burst over the blueline and ripped one off the post midway through the
second OT, but a tired and shorthanded Leafs team hung on, and silenced an enthusiastic Nitehawk crowd with the sudden winning goal. “It’s just the way the game goes, sometimes,” said Limbert. “We were pressing and sometimes when you do that you do expose yourself a little bit, and we had a bit of a breakdown there and they made a nice play and capitalized on our mistake.” B.V. fired 58 shots at Mailhiot, while Poirier and Schamerhorn faced 45 Leafs’ shots. The Hawks were 0-for-6 on the power play while Nelson went 1-for-6. In Friday’s match Poirier made 22 saves to earn the shutout as the Hawks opened the series with a 5-0 victory. Allan Pruss scored twice for the Hawks and added an assist, while Taylor Stafford and Jace Weegar had a goal and one helper each. See KIJHL, Page 12
BY TIMES STAFF The Trail Smoke Eaters lost its final home game of the season on Saturday falling to the West Kelowna Warriors 4-2. After an 11-3 drubbing at the hands of the Vernon Vipers Friday in Vernon, the Smoke Eaters struggled to capitalize on scoring chances in their game against the Warriors. Trail outshot West Kelowna 32-26, but a third-period goal by Jonathon Desbiens at 5:39 would break a 2-2 tie and keep the Warriors playoff hopes alive. “It was definitely a better response, it was overall a solid effort, and I think we deserved to win that game for sure,” said Trail Smoke Eater coach Nick Deschenes. The win puts the Warriors, 27-21-0-8, into a tie with Salmon Arm and Merritt for the fourth and final play-off spot with 62 points, however, both Salmon Arm, 27-20-3-5, and Merritt, 30-230-2, have a game-in-hand on West Kelowna. Desbiens opened the scoring at 10:57 of the first period, making a nice move in tight and beating Trail goalie Brett Clark short side. Max Newton would even it when he corralled a clearing attempt by Nick Rutigliano that took a fortuitous bounce off the boards and fired it by Warrior goalie Scott Patton with five minutes remaining in the middle frame. But Rutigliano would get it back, wiring a shot from the point that went through traffic and beat Clark to put the Warriors up 2-1 just 32 seconds later. Trail’s Harlan Orr tallied his 18th of the season 55 seconds into the third period to tie it at 2, but Desbiens would score the winner and his second of the night and Trail would fail to find the equalizer as the Warriors Brett Mennear iced it with an empty net goal with nine seconds remaining. “It’s the same kind of story line, here’s a potential play-off team and here we are that’s skating side-by-side, and when you pick your head up at the end of the day they are one goal ahead,” said Deschenes. “It’s hard, I know for some of these local guys, who played their last game of junior, it’s not how they wanted to skate off the Cominco Arena ice.” Patton was named the game’s first star for his 30 saves, Trail’s Newton second star, and Orr picked up third star honours for his goal and an assist. On Friday, Vernon broke open a 4-3 game after two periods, to score seven unanswered goals in the final frame on their way to an 11-3 victory. The Vipers outshot Trail 50 to 23 to complete the seven-game sweep this season. Jake Lucchini scored twice for the Smokies and Orr tallied once. Jagger Williamson had a fivepoint night for Vernon with two goals and three assists. Former Smokie and Trail native Riley Brandt had a goal and an assist for the Vipers, as Vernon went 4-for-9 on the power play while Trail was 0-for-4. Trail will travel to West Kelowna tonight to play the Warriors before wrapping up their season on Saturday in Merritt.

TOURNAMENT OF HEARTS
Jones wins fifth Scotties title MOOSE JAW, Sask. - It has become a familiar pose for Manitoba skip Jennifer Jones. Arms stretched high in the air with broom in hand and a huge smile on her face after throwing a winning stone. She did it a year ago when she won an Olympic title and struck the same pose Sunday at Mosaic Place after beating Alberta’s Val Sweeting 6-5 to win gold at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts for the fifth time. “It’s the thrill of a lifetime every single time,” Jones said.
“It’s almost more exciting the older I get, I guess because you never know when it’s going to be your last. I’m just so thrilled to do it with my amazing teammates.” The 40-year-old skip hit an open draw with her last throw in the 10th end to cap an exciting back-and-forth game that could have gone either way. “It was a little close for comfort, but we managed to pull it off in the end,” she said. Sweeting, 27, who lost to Rachel Homan in last year’s
final, threw at a solid 88 per cent clip but didn’t have the hammer when it counted. “We made it here again and we played better and we lost to a great team,” Sweeting said. “They’ll represent us really well.” Jones missed the Scotties last year as she led her Winnipeg team of third Kaitlyn Lawes, second Jill Officer and lead Dawn McEwen to victory at the Sochi Games. They’ll represent Canada again at the March 14-22 world women’s curling championship
Blue Jays’ Navarro requests trade
THE CANADIAN PRESS DUNEDIN, Fla. - Toronto Blue Jays catcher Dioner Navarro, facing an uncertain future with the arrival of Russell Martin, confirmed Monday that he wants out. The 31-year-old from Venezuela said he had asked the American League team for a trade back in November when Martin was signed to an US$82million, five-year contract. Navarro says nothing has changed. He wants to go to a team where he can play every
day. He says he holds no grudges and will work hard the whole spring, hoping an opportunity comes his way. But he acknowledged he was frustrated and a little disappointed that nothing has happened yet in terms of a new home. “I don’t know when did it go wrong, if anything did go wrong,” Navarro said of his time with Toronto. “I’m just going to be ready and do my job.” Navarro, who hit 274 with 12 home runs and 59 runs bat-
ted in last season, faces being a designated hitter and backup catcher with the Jays. He is on the final year of a two-year deal that will pay him $5 million this season. While Navarro was professional and polite in speaking to the media, his public desire to leave the club was hardly the opening spring training message the Jays wanted. Still manager John Gibbons, who spoke to the media before Navarro, said he understood his catcher’s frustration.
Rakuson holds on for win
BY TIMES CORRESPONDENT In Trail Retiree Men’s curling action last week, Team Brett Rakuson stormed out of the gates against team Murray Walsh, stealing four in the first end. The game then turned into a defensive struggle with the Rakuson side keeping the Walsh side in check. Despite a couple of promising ends for Walsh, Rakuson took the game 6–5. Team Tom Hall took singles in the first three ends against team Clare Coleman. The Coleman side was on the wrong side of the inch but still in the game. Coleman took singles in four and five,

2010 - 2015
The Waneta Expansion Project offered a unique opportunity to work with the Ktunaxa Nation. A project of this scale required a large number of workers from a variety of trades. The Ktunaxa Nation was able to work with the owners to create employment opportunities for 13 Ktunaxa Nation citizens, including trades apprentices and journeymen.
At peak construction over 450 people worked directly on the project
Some Ktunaxa Nation workers shared their experience on the project: “Overall, I had a great time on the project. I met a whole bunch of people and made new friends. My time on the Waneta site gave me some amazing workplace experiences. I plan on going back to school to continue this learning experience I started in Waneta.” “I came onto the project early. It was tough being away from my family but the experience I received on the site, particularity working at great heights, has helped me greatly in my construction career.” Ktunaxa Nation citizens received on-thejob training and education throughout the project. Many of those who were employed have chosen to continue their training that began on the Waneta Expansion Project. This collaboration between the Ktunaxa Nation and the project owners is a shining example of how organizations can come together to create employment and inspire lifelong learning.

but a couple of double takeouts in six an seven by Hall sealed the win, make the final 5 – 2. In a low scoring game through seven ends it was team Ernie Brown up by one over the Pat Fennell foursome. The eighth end proved Brown’s undoing. With two shots at scoring, some tricky ice had team Brown wrecking on well placed Fennell guards resulting in an 8-5 loss. In a game that featured great shots at every position, a steal of four in the third end, followed by giving up three in the fourth. Teams Harvey Handley and team Forrest Drinnan battled back and forth for eight ends. In a game that no one deserved to lose, no one did. Make the final 8 – 8.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - “Fifty Shades of Grey” didn’t relinquish control of the box office. Universal’s erotic drama earned $22.2 million at No. 1 in its second weekend at the box office, according to studio estimates Sunday. The spy film “Kingsman: The Secret Service” and the family friendly “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water” similarly maintained the No. 2 and No. 3 spots at the box office in their second weekend. A trio of newcomers failed to crack the top three. Disney’s “McFarland, USA” opened at No. 4 with $11.3 million. Lionsgate’s “The DUFF” debuted at No. 5 with $11 million. Paramount’s “Hot Tube Time Machine 2” flopped at No. 7 with $5.8 million.

THE CANADIAN PRESS LOS ANGELES - Canuck director Chris Williams collected his first Oscar on Sunday night for the super-hero animated comedy “Big Hero 6,” beating out two fellow Canadians in a category stacked with compatriots. The Kitchener, Ont.-bred animator collected the trophy along with co-director Don Hall and producer Roy Conli, upsetting frontrunner Dean DeBlois, the Aylmer, Que.-bred director of “How to Train Your Dragon 2.” DeBlois won the Golden Globe earlier this year and is a former Disney colleague of Williams. Before the bash, Williams described DeBlois as one of his best friends, and joked about red carpet fisticuffs as the two made the rounds on the awards circuit. “For both of us it’s very strange and surreal and kind of funny that we are competing in this category. I was just in his wedding party a few months ago ... we watched the Super Bowl together,” Williams said last week. It was the second Oscar nomination for Williams, who also earned a nod for his directorial debut on the 2008 film “Bolt.” He also faced competition from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.-native Graham Annable, co-director of the intricate stop motion film “The Boxtrolls.” All three studied at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ont., at different times, and did not cross paths until later in their careers. The other nominees in the animated feature category were “Song of the Sea” from Tomm Moore and Paul Young, and “The Tale of the Princess Kaguya,” from Isao Takahata and Yoshiaki Nishimura. Williams said his second run at Oscar was even more exciting than the first. “It seems even bigger this time - there are more events, there’s more press, seemingly more coverage this time around than even what I experienced five years ago, which even at the time was pretty overwhelming.”

Mom sleeping with son creates rivalry with dad Mailbox
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
7. But your daughter should not be sleeping with the boy or, worse, giving him the impression that they share a bedroom. This is not only terrible for Joey, but for her marriage. Most young boys adore their mothers, so the message she is sending Joey is confusing and damaging and sets up a rivalry with his father. Unless she wants Joey to spend his adulthood in therapy, tell her to stop this immediately. We hope she loves Joey enough to do what’s right. Dear Annie: I live in a Southern city, and many Northerners have moved here and attend our church. Most are
tude may diminish over time, simply by being around others who are less so. But it’s certainly OK to say gently, “Doris, your enthusiasm is wonderful, bust could you tone it down just a wee bit?” Say it with a genuine smile, and perhaps ask for her opinion on a different matter. She cannot modify her behavior if she is unaware that it needs work. Surely she would want the opportunity to be less annoying rather than be isolated and rejected. Dear Annie: I would like to reach out to “Distraught,” who recently found out that his eldest son molested his siblings. He wondered whether the eldest son had been abused by a parish priest. I am greatly saddened by his loss and the pain endured by his family. I would like him to know that there is great hope for healing and that he and his family don’t have
to struggle with this alone. Every Roman Catholic diocese in the United States has at least one individual who serves as a victim assistance coordinator. These coordinators are caring and compassionate people whose call-
ing is to help individuals and families find hope and healing after abuse. Please encourage “Distraught” to contact a victim assistance coordinator through the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops at www.usccb. org/issues-and-action/
child-and-youth-protection/victim-assistance-coordinators. cfm. -- Grand Island, Neb. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

delightful, and we love having them. But we are having a problem with one of the women. “Doris” is an eager volunteer and a competent, efficient worker who is anxious to take on more responsibilities. Unfortunately, she also can be rude, aggressive, condescending and almost combative. We suspect she doesn’t intend to be so difficult, but her demeanor unfortunately follows the oldfashioned stereotypical “New York pushy” attitude. We want Doris to feel welcome and included in more activities, but we find ourselves making excuses to stay out of her way. How can we let her know that her attitude is obnoxious? We don’t want to offend her. She has many good qualities, but needs to tone it down a whole lot to make herself more pleasant to be around. -- Southern Sally Dear Sally: Some of Doris’ aggressive atti-

Dear Annie: I am concerned about my grandson’s well-being. My daughter has always had “cuddle time” with “Joey.” It was OK when he was little, but now that he is turning 7, it seems worse. Now she is talking about getting him a new bedroom set that will be big enough for the both of them. She says she sleeps better when she sleeps with Joey. I can only assume that means she doesn’t sleep much with her husband. I think this is getting a little bit out of hand. Joey is old enough to sleep by himself. What do you think of this? And what should we do, if anything? -- Concerned Grandparents Dear Grandparents: It worries us when parents put their own needs above those of their child and selfishly convince themselves there’s nothing wrong with it. But there is. Cuddle time with Joey is fine. He’s only

REgional Grand Forks
ReStore raises money for affordable housing By Craig Lindsay Grand Forks Gazette
After some unforeseen missteps along the way, the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Grand Forks is open for business. The ReStore was originally going to be in the Multi-Agency Accommodation Planning (MAAP) building on Riverside Drive with their partners but due to plumbing issues had to find another spot until those issues could be dealt with. The organization was able to open up in a temporary location at 136 Sagamore Road and has been open since Sept. 17 of this year. “It’s been slow,” said Eric Anderson, store manager. “We’ve got all the issues that start-ups usually have: building up inventory, especially seeing as all our inventory is based on donations. We don’t buy anything; we don’t trade for anything. Our donations are our one and only source for our inventory.” Anderson said that people have to learn where they are, which is on Sagamore past the City Works yard, right next to the mini-storage and in the same building as Jazzercise. Once people learn the location and see the great deals they keep coming back, said Anderson. The ReStore is operated by Habitat for Humanity Southeast B.C. (HFHSEBC) with the primary objective of raising money to build safe and affordable housing for those who may otherwise not afford it. After a recent merger between Habitat for Humanity Boundary (Grand Forks) and Habitat for Humanity West Kootenay (Castlegar/ Nelson), HFHSEBC now operates from Rock Creek straight through to the Alberta border and north to Golden. Former executive director Rick Friesen said the organization has built a combined total of 19 homes in Greenwood, Grand Forks, Nelson and Castlegar with a 20th project currently

The homes are built by volunteers using donated material. The ReStore in Grand Forks is the first of its kind for
HFHSEBC. The organization plans to build two more in the near future. “This is the first ReStore in the Kootenays,” said Anderson. “There are 12 or 13 other ReStores throughout B.C.” Anderson said the ReStore carries basically anything to do with your house, whether it’s inside or outside. “Whether it’s build-
ing materials or appliances or anything like that,” said Anderson. “We have corporate donors that donate us new product that has been discontinued or been returned or anything like that. From private donors we take anything that would be classified as gently used as far as furniture, appliances, leftover building materials.” The ReStore does not take any mattress or unframed glass at this time. They want appliances that are seven years old or newer, Anderson added. A major objective for the ReStore is to keep objects out of the landfill. Anderson said that in 2013, Habitat ReStores in Canada kept an estimated 26,650 metric tonnes out of the landfill. To volunteer or for any other information please call the ReStore at 250-442-2720.

Dwindling kokanee numbers causing alarm along Kootenay Lake By Will Johnson Nelson Star
Balfour businessman Randy Zelonka routinely keeps a close eye on Kootenay Lake’s fishery, and not just because he’s a longtime fishing enthusiast — he’s built his whole life around it. As owner of the Gill and Gift for the past 12 years and president of the local business association, he’s starting to feel alarmed at the recent free-fall in kokanee salmon populations. He’s just not sure what to do about it. “There are a thousand conclusions out there. People are talking about excess fertilizer, there have been mentions of algae blooms. The biologist believes it’s too many rainbow trout from the main lake, and they’ve been eating the kokanee, but now there’s none left to feed them. Basically, they’ve eaten themselves out of house and home,” said Zelonka. One of the most alarming things, according to Zelonka: this year’s Kootenay Lake BC Family Day Fishing Derby, which included a $10,000 prize, had to be cancelled due to declining stock.
Zelonka said he hopes the community will come together to demand action from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “Kootenay Lake is a worldclass fishery that attracts people from all over the place to come fish in our lake. We’ve got some of the largest rainbow trout in the world and they’re unique to us,” said Zelonka. Mike Jeffrey, chair of the Eastshore Freshwater Habitat Society, which has 200 members, said they are willing to pitch in. “We would enhance the creeks for spawning, improve the shores, mostly manual work,” he said. “Some of it even gets to the point you’d study water quality and make sure any creeks that would be supportive of these salmon are in fact looked at to enhance their ability to live there.” They’d also like to see fry introduced to streams and creeks in the spring. “If Kootenay Lake wasn’t here, we wouldn’t be either,” Jeffrey said. “We’ve all got a common bond on the lake here, and a lot of people want to know what’s

happening. Hopefully we can get that information.” A news release issued jointly by the BC Wildlife Federation and West Arm Outdoors Club criticized the government for a lack of action. It said that in the last
efforts to study and ameliorate the problem. Biologist Jeff Burrows provided a list of initiatives the ministry is working on along with stakeholders and partners: • Sports fishery monitoring and management, which includes reviews and annual angler surveys and consultations intended to protect kokanee and trout; • Ecosystem monitoring, which includes checking water quality, phytoplankton, and zooplankton. Also, they will attempt to restore nutrients to the environment; • Restoration of nutrients trapped in upstream reservoirs, including the Duncan and Libby dams; • Recovery of rare and endangered sturgeon and burbot; • Meadow Creek, Redfish Creek and Kokanee Creek spawning channel operation and maintenance; • Evaluation of all feasible actions that could improve kokanee survival; • Identifying bull trout spawning streams and estimating spawning numbers.

Tom Lang and Mike Jeffrey of the Eastshore Freshwater Habitat Society are hoping to be part of the solution to dwindling kokanee salmon stock in the Kootenay Lake fishery.
three years, the Meadow Creek spawning channel — which usually supports 500,000 to one million kokanee spawners, ample numbers to sustain rainbow and bull trout — has declined to less than 200,000 annually. In fall 2014, their numbers were down to 60,000. “We believe the ministry is not reacting adequately to the seriousness of the problem given the long lasting impact the fishery decline will have on recreational fishing, tourism, real estate and the economy,” said Harvey Andrusak, a former fisheries manager with the Ministry of Environment, and a director with the wildlife federation. West Arm Outdoors Club president Gord Grunerud added: “Fisheries managers must take proactive and comprehensive management actions to reduce the extent and duration of this crisis. So far only minor changes to the fishing regulations have been instituted that will have little effect on kokanee productivity and the recovery of the fishery.” The ministry knows about the situation and says it has begun
