Times StaffSetting fires isn't usually in the job
description for a firefighter, but Tuesday, members of the Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue (KBRFR) did just that.
To practice different techniques, skills and scenarios, firefighters from Trail and Montrose burned down a house on Station Road after weeks of exercises under artificial conditions.
“The house on Station Road had been used for the last three weeks by our paid on-call members for training,” said Terry Martin, KBRFR chief. “For those training scenarios we used artifi-cial smoke to ensure a safe environment for our members. We like to use the structures for training purposes (before burning them down).”
After practicing with a smoke machine, the real fires were set.
Using pallets, bales of hay, lighter fluid and a blow torch, members lit smaller fires in different parts of the two-bedroom, two-story house early on Tuesday morning, extinguishing each fire as efficiently and safely as possible.
Throughout the training sessions, crews completed several different set-ups, such as breaking through walls to get into the next room, or extinguish-ing a single-room fire from outside the building.
“It is extremely important for all of our members to be properly trained and prepared to respond to each incident,” Martin said of the varying factors in each scenario. “Each incident is differ-ent, but prior training promotes confi-dence and an awareness of the dangers at a fire scene.”
Along with the usual equipment like hoses, helmets and water tankers, the scenarios practiced at the house on Station Road included the use of a heavy-duty fan, blowing directly in the front door of the burning building.
“We use the fan to create a movement of air through the burning structure,” said Martin. “It clears out a lot of smoke and heat which assists the firefighters in making a safer environment, enabling them to track down and extinguish the fire.”
After extinguishing some fires, mem-bers reported that the fan reduced the temperature inside a burning room by a few hundred degrees.
Martin says getting the opportunity for practice situations in a house isn't common for the department, waiting for residents in the community to approach the KBRFR with a structure for mem-bers to use.
“Unfortunately, we don't get many situations where we can train like this,” he said, adding that there is some leg work to do before the burning begins. “We are usually approached by the homeowners who ask if we would be interested in burning the structures down. When a structure is offered, we
try to work with the owner to ensure the burning of the building will work for everyone involved.
“For example, we encouraged the homeowner on Station Road to speak with her neighbours to make sure it was also okay for them if we used the struc-ture for training.”
The next building to go up in flames with the help of the KBRFR is 1995 Riverside Avenue. The building is being burned down on April 12. The depart-ment will be practicing training sce-narios starting at 9 a.m.

There will be allergy-friendly and peanut-free chocolate available for kids with food allergies.
In Trail, families will be gathering at Gyro Park at 11 a.m. to go on the hunt for some candy and chocolate. Put together by EZ Rock and Trail Parks and Recreation, the Easter Bunny will be hopping by and helping in the hunt.

The Kootenay Festival of the Arts returns to the spotlight in April, bringing 10 days of dance, voice, piano and strings.
After a two-year hiatus, the showcase of young talent prom-ises new energy plus first time woodwind and string perform-ances scheduled in three Trail venues.
“We are very excited to be hosting the festival from the 8th to the 18th of April,” says Nicole Zimmer, the event’s co-chair. “People can expect a lovely mix of all ages performing, followed by workshops for encouragement and growth,” she said, men-tioning the highlight concerts that top off each week.
“So please join us in welcom-ing back this wonderful trad-ition,” added Zimmer.
The annual festival was shelved two years ago due to lack of volunteers. But Zimmer, a music teacher, and co-chair Audrey Gerein were determined to revive the 81-year Kootenay event.
With the help of past organ-izers Beth Lloyd and Shirley Mendoza, the women canvassed the region to bring back the opportunity to perform and be adjudicated by seasoned teachers and professionals.
Once the call was put out
that volunteers were needed to bring back the show, community members signed on and things fell into place.
“We’ve done quite well as a start up,” said Lloyd, a Rossland piano teacher and 10-year festival organizer. “We have a lot of par-ticipants including strings and woodwinds, which we haven’t had in a very long time. There’s new things that we are really happy about, and I have volunteers – so it’s like a new lease on life.”
The festival’s syllabus and details are available at koo-tenayfestivalofthearts.ca and 278 entries from Nelson, Trail, Fruitvale, Castlegar, and the Slocan area are ready to put their skills to the test.
Ballet, modern and stage dance is slated to run April 8 to April 11at the Charles Bailey Theatre; certificates of merit will be awarded to piano players from April 13 to April 15 at the First Presbyterian Church; vocal solos and choirs performances at the Trail United Church April 13 and April 14; woodwinds, 1 p.m. April 16 and strings 9 a.m. April 17, both at the First Presbyterian Church.
Additionally, there will be two concerts, the first on April 11, 7 p.m. at the Charles Bailey to highlight dance. The second is scheduled for April 18 at the First Presbyterian, 7 p.m., to showcase
all other disciplines.“Nicole and Audrey have head-
ed this up and just done bril-liantly,” said Lloyd. “It’s a really exciting program and it just feels so good to have younger people getting in there and taking over with such enthusiasm.”
Save for a wartime break,
and a three-year interlude in the 1960s, the festival has alternated between Trail and Nelson every year since its inception in 1930 at the Nelson Opera House.
In 2011, Trail hosted almost 1,000 students from the East and West Kootenay, Okanagan and south of the border.
The Kootenay Festival of the Arts offers students of artistic disciplines the opportunity to perform in a theatrical environ-ment and receive constructive critique from highly skilled, established professionals, which in turn nurtures and enhances their artistic talent.

After originally stating that their would be no liquor at the CannaFest 2015 music event on Aug. 7-8, organizer Chuck Varabioff has asked council for approval of a special occasion liquor.
In addition to the request for a liquor licence, Varabioff also asked council for an extension of time from the original end time of 10 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. on both nights at Monday’s regular council meeting.
Despite objections from Councillor Julia Butler, council passed the motion 6-1 in favour of issuing the licence allowing the sale of liquor from 5 - 10 p.m. at CannaFest. Council made a separate second motion to have staff look into the request for the later end time for the event. The second motion was carried unanimously.
“It’s kind of interesting, in their submission to council on Feb. 24, (Varabioff said) ‘we are capping the ticket sales at 3,000 and we will not tolerate liquor,’” said Butler during discussion of the motions. “I think this might be an interesting soapbox from the medicinal marijuana point of view that we don’t tolerate medicinal marijuana but we’ll tolerate liquor (even though) everyone knows that liquor is more harmful than medi-cinal marijuana. I can see Facebook lighting up
now.”Butler also noted that the time extension
would not be welcomed being that the concert is being held in a “highly residential neighbour-hood” at James Donaldson Park.
“I’m sure the residents of this neighbourhood would not approve of their houses shaking until 12:30 p.m.,” said Butler.
Coun. Colleen Ross countered by stating that the concert will bring an element of fun to Grand Forks.
“I was a bit surprised when they said they weren’t going to have liquor at a rock concert,” said Ross. “I think it’s just a matter of course. Lots of us have been to rock concerts where stuff is done. It’s a summer-time rock concert in Grand Forks, I think we should just—without saying let’s not be ‘old farts’—let’s use our town, let’s use our facility, let’s have something fun for a change. Let’s take some chances; the cops are going to be around. There will be security. Yeah, people are going to drink too much but let’s be like other towns that have concerts in the sum-mer.”
Mayor Frank Konrad added that he hopes that the event organizer doesn’t come to coun-cil down the road with any further requests for changes or additions.

Catherine (Sandy) Bijou passed away peacefully on April 24, 2015 from the e� ects of vascular dementia. Her family will miss her greatly, but are grateful that she is now at peace.
Sandy was born in Rossland, BC in 1925, the second of four children born to D. Bilson & Catherine Eva (Mitchell) Merry. Bilson was in the lumber business and Sandy spent her early years at their isolated mill at Paulson, BC. Her wild recollections of life there provided constant delight to her grandchildren; her sister chopping o� her � nger, � agging down the train and learning to speak Doukhobor and develop a love of their food from the camp cook. Sandy’s family moved to the Annabel area of Trail, BC in about 1930 when Sandy was � ve. Growing up, Sandy had a special bond with her dad that carried her through her life. He taught her to drive at 12 and she was his enthusiastic chau� eur ever a� er.
Sandy went all through school in Trail. A� er high school, Sandy went to normal school (teacher’s college) in Victoria. Her � rst teaching job was at a one-room schoolhouse in Brilliant, BC. � e experiences there caused her to have an about-face on teaching, and she headed back to Vancouver to work. Sandy loved her years in Vancouver…dinners and dancing at the Commodore Club were fun memories and she made friends that she would have for life.
Sandy was lucky to have a myriad of opportunities growing up in wartime Trail. She loved swimming at Sandy Island in the Columbia River, hiking up to Old Glory, waterskiing at Christina Lake and skiing at Red Mountain. She was an original member of the Rossland Ski Club and was involved in the early years of
development of Red. Her many albums of ski pictures, from all over North America, are amazing and show her in the golden age of skiing. Sandy’s other passion was aviation. She was one of the � rst women in the Kootenays to get her pilot’s license and loved to � y. Up in the skies she always said she felt truly free.
In 1950, a dashing young engineer named Robert (Bob) Bijou came to work at Cominco. In an e� ort to get her attention, Bob knocked Sandy over on the ski hill at Red. It worked. � ey were married November 24, 1951 in the family house at Annabel. � ey started their married life in Rossland and their � rst daughter Catherine Danielle was born there in 1952. In 1954, Bob’s work took them to Kitimat, BC and it was there that their second daughter, Lauren Elizabeth was born in 1957. Sandy was an active curler, an avid bridge player and was very involved in the United Church. � e family stayed in Kitimat until 1966, then moved to Calgary and then Victoria by 1974. Upon retirement, Bob and Sandy relocated to Southern Alberta to be closer to family. � ey enjoyed the next 30 years of their life in Pincher Creek. � ey loved to ski at Westcastle and Sandy enjoyed her bridge club. Bob passed away in 2009 and Sandy continued volunteering with the UCW Women and spending time with her family.
Family was everything to Sandy. She loved her daughters, Dani and Lauren, and her granddaughters,
Aynsley, Kelley and Keenyn. She was an extremely devoted and active grandmother. All three grandchildren spent a lot of time with their grandparents; going on vacations, skiing and playing cards at the kitchen table. She was thrilled to be able to meet her great-grandchildren, Arthur and Philippa (Pippa). Arthur loved his “GG” and spent many happy a� ernoons with her.
Sandy is predeceased by her husband Bob, her parents Bilson and Eva, her brother George, sister-in-law Janet, wsister Doolee and brothers-in-law Bas & Tello. She is survived by her daughters Danielle Bijou (Creston, BC) and Lauren Baker (Brian) (Waterton Park), granddaughters Aynsley Baker (Carey Tetzla� ), Kelley Baker and Keenyn Bijou (Ken Kaminski-Raab), and great-grandchildren Arthur and Philippa Tetzla� . Also le� to honour her memory is her older sister Patti Nocente of Vancouver, BC and her family, her sister Doolee McDonnells’ family, and her brother George’s family: David and Melanie Merry of Christina Lake, Billy and Allison Merry of Rossland, Betty Anne and Frank Marino of War� eld, and Lynnie and Brian Miller of Annabel and all of their children.
Sandy was extremely pragmatic with a touch of whimsy. She was very clear on the idea that death was only the beginning of a grand adventure. She truly had a full, memory � lled life. We, her family, are truly happy that she is able to � y free now…we will miss her everyday but have a lifetime of memories to comfort us. We would like to thank the caring and compassionate team at the cottages of Good Samaritan’s Vista Village, Pincher Creek as well as the medical sta� at the PC Health Centre. A private family celebration is being held at her childhood home in Annabel. If so desired, donations in Sandy’s memory can be made to a charity of your choice.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SLONDON - Cynthia
Lennon, the first wife of former Beatles guitar-ist John Lennon, died of cancer Wednesday at her home in Spain. She was 75.
Her death was announced on the website and Twitter account of her son, Julian Lennon and confirmed by his repre-sentative.
Cynthia and John Lennon met at art school in Liverpool in 1957 and married shortly before the Beatles shot to world-wide fame. Julian was their only child togeth-er.
The couple divorced in 1968 after John Lennon started his much publicized rela-tionship with Japanese artist Yoko Ono. They had spent 10 years together as a couple.
Cynthia remarried several times.
The divorce prompt-ed Paul McCartney to pen the Beatles’ clas-sic “Hey Jude” to help Julian cope with his parents’ separation. He changed the name Julian to Jude in the song.
The line “Take a sad song and make it better,” is about the Lennons’ broken mar-riage and its impact on their son.
“The news of Cynthia’s passing is very sad,” McCartney wrote on his blog Wednesday.
“She was a lovely lady who I’ve known since our early days together in Liverpool,” he added. “She was a good mother to Julian and will be missed by us all, but I will always have great memories of our times together.”
“Peace and love to Julian Lennon God bless Cynthia love Ringo and Barbaraxx,” Ringo Starr tweeted.
Joni Mitchell
Canadian singer-songwriter hospitalized in Los AngelesT H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S S
LOS ANGELES - Joni Mitchell was in intensive care in a Los Angeles-area hospital on Tuesday, according to the Twitter account and website of the folk singer and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.
“Joni was found
unconscious in her home this afternoon,” said a statement on the Mitchell website. “She is currently in inten-sive care undergoing tests and is awake and in good spirits.”
It wasn’t immedi-ately clear what illness she had.
Los Angeles fire offi-cials said paramedics answered an afternoon 911 call in Bel Air, where Mitchell lives, and took a patient to the hospital. But they could not verify her identity or give details on her condition.
The 71-year-old
singer-songwriter told Billboard magazine in December that she has a rare skin condi-tion, Morgellons dis-ease, which prevents her from performing. Still, she released a career-spanning four-disc box set last year and appeared at
Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy party in February.
Mitchell has received eight Grammy Awards, including a lifetime achievement award in 2002. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
Mitchell, who was born in Fort Macleod, Alta., is also a member of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
She has a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame in Toronto and a com-
memorative stamp, and is a companion of the Order of Canada.
She started her career as a street musi-cian before moving to Southern California, where she became part of the flourishing folk scene in the late 1960s.
Mitchell has released 19 original albums, the most recent in 2007.
The anthology released last year, “Love Has Many Faces: A Quartet, A Ballet, Waiting to Be Danced,” features remasters of 53 of her songs.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SKAMLOOPS, B.C. - A British Columbia
grandfather who started a marijuana grow-op to augment his small pension has been sen-tenced to six months in jail.
Donald Clarkson, who is 76, pleaded guilty to production of marijuana and possession for the purpose of trafficking after police raided a building on his property two years ago.
Court heard that officers were alerted to a pungent smell coming from Clarkson’s rental property in the North Thompson Valley and found 150 small pot plants valued at about $60,000.
Clarkson told a B.C. Supreme Court judge in Kamloops on Monday that he only started the operation because his pension wasn’t big enough.
Crown and defence lawyers made a joint submission for the six-month jail term - the minimum sentence after the federal govern-ment toughened Canada’s drug laws.
Defence lawyer Sheldon Tate told court that Clarkson, a retired trucker, lived a mod-est life and his only motive was financial gain.

OTTAWA - The clock ran out Wednesday for thousands of tempor-ary foreign workers in Canada as work per-mits expired for those who have been in the country for more than four years.
In 2011, the Conservative gov-ernment set April 1, 2015, as the deadline for temporary foreign workers in low-skilled jobs to either become permanent residents or return home.
In Alberta alone, 10,000 temporary foreign workers have applied to stay in Canada.
I m m i g r a t i o n Canada hasn’t divulged the total number of workers who are now required to leave, but immigration and labour market experts have estimated tens of thousands are affected.
Richard Kurland, a Vancouver immigra-tion lawyer, said tem-porary workers with legal representation have found ways to stay past the deadline with so-called bridging options that could lead to permanent resi-dence. But many can’t use that approach, Kurland said.
“The sad thing is that the victims are people unable to access bridging provi-sions that would have given them more time in Canada ... because a large number can’t access immigration lawyers; they can’t afford it.”
Vanessa Routley, a Toronto immigration lawyer, was critical of the deadline.
“The four-year limit deliberately and unfairly targets the lowest-paid and low-est-skilled temporary workers ... executives and engineers will not be affected,” she said.
“Rather than offer-ing these hard workers a pathway to perma-nent residence where they could continue the low-skilled jobs
nobody else wants, the Canadian public has been sold a line that exchanging one legion of temporary workers for another every four years is a solution.”
E m p l o y m e n t Minister Pierre Poilievre defended the government’s position.
“Our policy is that Canadians should come first for Canadian jobs,” Poilievre said after Wednesday’s weekly caucus meet-ing.
“The April 1st dead-line has been known for a very long time, and the purpose of the program is for it to be temporary. That’s why they’re called tempor-ary foreign workers.”
Businesses should increase their wage rates and hire
Canadians if they’re struggling to fill pos-itions, he added.
I m m i g r a t i o n Minister Chris Alexander has also said that “permanent resi-dents have never been more numerous.”
But Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau accused the Conservatives of further “mismanage-ment” of the tempor-ary foreign workers program with the April 1 deadline.
“This is yet another example of a govern-ment that lacks both compassion and a flex-ible reasonableness
around supporting both Canadian busi-nesses and industries and some very vulner-able people who are continually hoping for a path to citizenship,” Trudeau said.
Several organiza-tions, including the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and the Alberta Federation of Labour, have called for an easier path to permanent residence for temporary foreign workers, especially those employed in provinces with labour shortages.
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SEDMONTON - An
Edmonton lawyer has filed a notice to appeal Alberta’s drunk driving legislation.
Earlier this month, an Alberta judge rejected a challenge to a provincial law that suspends the licences of drivers who are charged with being impaired.
Since 2012, driv-ers who blow over .08 have their vehicles impounded for three days and lose their licences until their cases are resolved in court.
The process can take months.
A group of motor-ists who faced impaired driving charges had argued the law violates the Charter of Rights because it presumes guilt and violates people’s rights by sus-pending their licences indefinitely.
Lawyer Nate Whitling, who is appealing the deci-sion, believes the law encourages some driv-ers to plead guilty - even if they’re not - just to get their lives and their licences back.
“It’s one of those things that’s very dif-ficult to prove, by way of evidence,” says Whitling.
“If someone pleads guilty, it’s kind of dif-
ficult to go back later and say well, it wasn’t really guilty, and it doesn’t tend to appear in the statistics that get produced by the government. People who plead guilty gen-erally just want to get the case over with and get on with their life.”

OPINION
Don’t mistake voter engagement for voter tracking
Hear the one about four polit-ical parties that walked into a
Vancouver hotel with the Chief Electoral Officer last September? Sorry, no punchline. But the parties had reason to chuckle.
Selflessly, the four pro-posed to the Chief Electoral Officer, Dr. Keith Archer, and Elections B.C. that political parties be given a province-wide “participa-tion extract” following an election. Nice way of say-ing: who voted, by name and address.
One party operative sold it – get ready for this – as “a tool that allows par-ties to engage voters on an ongoing basis.” Yeah, right.
Someone said it’s done in Ontario. Voters there don’t seem to have warmed up to it though. Turnout is lower today that it was before all that ongoing engagement got underway. Last year, 52.1 per cent.
It takes some doing to have a lower turnout than B.C., but Ontario pulled it off.
To his credit, Dr. Archer saw a live grenade and didn’t grab it. A week later, in his report to the B.C. legislature, he took no pos-ition on the request. Yet, mysteriously, there it was in Bill 20 tabled by the gov-ernment last week.
If passed, there will still be the little matter of the hoops one has to jump through to register a party to get a copy of the list.
In Ontario, it requires 1,000 signatures from vot-ers and the party leader must attest annually that its purpose is to endorse candidates and support their election.
In B.C.? Two signa-tures, no attestation and you don’t have to run a candidate at all, as long as you run two in every other election.
And what about independent candidates? Will they be given the list for their riding? Forty-six ran last time.
One person noted that party scrutineers can already record who has voted and claimed that the
information is “often kept by parties.”
Not so sure about the legal niceties of that. Elections B.C. spent a year working on privacy issues and concluded it didn’t have the legal authority to disclose participation records. So if they don’t have it, why would a party assume it does?
It may be fruitful to ask B.C.’s privacy commission-er to take a peek at the type of information parties col-lect on voters and how they obtained it?
Others have pointed out that the list was once posted publicly, back when posted meant on a tele-
phone pole, not online. It was a neighbourhood list, not one with 3.1 million names on it.
And it was a list of vot-ers, not a list of who had voted. No one wore the equivalent of a scarlet let-ter for abstaining.
And that’s the next prob-lem with this bright idea: in addition to identifying who voted, by default it would also identify who didn’t.
Last November, The Province newspaper obtained a corporate memo from Wall Financial Corporation – one of Vision Vancouver’s biggest donors – encouraging “all associ-ates” to vote for the party.
The memo was a dumb idea, but at least the associ-ates never had to fear Mr. Wall finding out that they hadn’t voted, a fear which could become very real if this measure is adopted.
Which brings us to the secret ballot. It ain’t so secret any more.
In the last Quebec elec-tion, a candidate won with 92.1 per cent of the popular vote. That’s not a typo. And
while that riding is clearly one extreme, ridings are divided into polling sec-tions and it’s not uncom-mon for candidates to get more than 70 or 80 per cent of the popular vote in some. Andrew Wilkinson, Jenny Kwan and Ralph Sultan – just to name three B.C. MLAs – all pulled it off in 2013.
Former Liberal MP Tom Wappel once had to apologize for not helping a constituent because he had voted for the Alliance party. That was in 2001 when voter tracking was still in its pubescent phase.
Last September’s pro-posal by the four parties isn’t about engaging voters, it’s about tracking voters in an era of data mining. It will make it easier for par-ties to identify the likeli-hood of how you voted and whether you’re even worth their campaign efforts in the future. And that’s not good for the political sys-tem.

Re: Treaty trouble has deep roots (B.C. Views, Trail Times March 31).
No one would disagree that the B.C. treaty process hasn’t been as successful as hoped. Indeed, there are also many First Nations who think it is the wrong process of recon-ciliation altogether.
However, that doesn’t excuse Premier Christy Clark’s recent decision to blindside B.C.’s treaty partners by refusing to appoint George Abbott as head of the B.C. Treaty Commission.
Although it might be com-forting to think that Premier Clark’s reckless behaviour was done in consultation with the
federal government, there is simply no evidence to suggest that.
Not only did Jerry Lampert, the federal government’s appointee to the treaty com-mission, say Ottawa was as sur-prised as the other parties to the process, but on March 26, NDP Leader John Horgan stood in the legislature and asked Premier Clark three times whether she had discussed her plans with the federal govern-ment, and she did not contra-dict the words of Mr. Lampert.
If the B.C. Liberal govern-ment has a grand plan for rein-venting the treaty process, they aren’t sharing it with any of
their constitutional partners.B.C.’s approach to reconcili-
ation needs to be re-energized so that First Nations, resource workers and those seeking to bring new investment to B.C. can have certainty.
This means not only fixing the treaty process, but doing more work to find a way for-ward with First Nations who have chosen a different path. That means working together, not going it alone.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - The Islamic State
of Iraq and the Levant has declared “war” on Canada, the Harper government is fond of saying.
With Parliament poised to embark on a renewed, expanded combat mission, some analysts are wondering whether Canada has the stomach for what’s ahead - whether it’s a proxy war or not.
“It’s clear, given the limited scope of the military involve-ment in Iraq and Syria, that the answer is ‘No,”’ said Steve Saideman, the Paterson Chair in International Affairs at Carleton University in Ottawa.
Everyone has noticed how the government “fudged over the word ‘combat”’ when it came to the special forces train-ing of Kurdish fighters.
So, then perhaps the better question is whether Canadians are prepared for what the coun-try’s erstwhile allies may have to do themselves in order to liberate territory from the grip of extremists.
The strategy of keeping a safe distance - train local forces to do the fighting, keep west-ern ‘boots’ in the form of con-ventional army units off the ground, drop bombs from 3,000 metres up - clearly has domes-tic political appeal.
But Saideman and retired colonel George Petrolekas won-der what will happen if and when Kurdish fighters, Iraqi forces and the Shiite militias are forced to break the will of extremists in places like Mosul,
which has been under the boot of the Islamic State.
In order to avoid a bloodbath for the assaulting forces, the military campaign may require that Iraq’s second-largest city - more than 660,000 people - face a total siege and be starved into submission. That’s what “war” means, they say.
“People are going to die, and the whole purpose of it is to make it as short as possible,” said Petrolekas, of the Conference of Defence Associations. A safe, distant strategy will mean a long cam-paign, he added.
“In Iraq, you have a govern-ment that’s arming Shiite mil-itias, working with Iranians on the ground, and they are just brutal,” Saideman said.
“The questions are more stark in Syria about whether bombing ISIL is going to help (President Bashar) al-Assad, who has killed more people.”
The challenge for the gov-ernment going forward will be to convince the public at home “that we’re helping in these specific ways and the rest is not our fault,” said Saideman. “That is a very difficult balan-cing act.”
The recent battle for Tikrit, in northern Iraq, has proceeded in fits and starts because Iraqi forces and Iranian-trained Shiite militias, such as Hashid al-Shaabi and the Al Bataar Brigade, have suffered high casualties without air support.
The reality of local forces carrying the fight is often messy, slow and potentially
treacherous, especially from a human rights perspective. That’s even before sectarian-score settling between Shiite and Sunni factions.
Tikrit is just a warm-up for Mosul. Foreign Affairs Minister Rob Nicholson has said freeing the region from the tyranny of ISIL is an exercise in “moral clarity” - an easy argument to make, given extremist atroci-ties and the obvious delight they take in perpetrating them.
But Saideman wondered how much “clarity” there will be when the first TV images of apartment buildings being reduced to rubble are splashed across western television screens. The northern Syrian city of Kobani, he said, already “looks like Stalingrad.”
“I don’t think we’ve got the stomach for that,” Saideman said. “And then there’s the other side, when you say our local allies are hardly reliable to be discriminate in the use of force.”
When the U.S. tried street-to-street fighting in the first battle of Fallujah, the Bush administration ordered a halt to the assault because it was so bloody, he added.
In Afghanistan, both Canada and the U.S. wondered about the quality and reliability of local forces. The questions there were more benign, revolv-ing around power - or whether they were stealing money.
Those days, Saideman warned, are going to look rath-er quaint compared to what may be ahead.
Analysts wonder whether Canada has stomach to wage ‘war’ against ISIL

Easter is the most sacred of Christian holidays. On Friday we will remember Jesus’ death on the cross for the sins of the world. Jesus paid the price for
our sins once and for all, so that we might live.
That is pretty incredible that someone died in our
place, and did so will-ingly. I forever will be
thankful for this in my own life.
Jesus’ death on the cross is not enough, his resur-
rection is what makes Easter the celebration
that it is. Death has been defeated and Christ has risen from the grave. That is what makes
Christianity different from all other religions; we serve a living God.
Whether you are a Chris-tian or not, that is what Easter is truly about! Yet walk into any retail store around this time of year
and you would never know it was a religious
holiday at all. We are in-
undated with chocolate bunnies and chocolate
eggs; ‘Happy Spring’ has become the new theme on most Easter greeting
cards.
Ask any average child what Easter is all about and I think most would say it is about the Easter
bunny and getting candy. Am I surprised?
Sadly, not really! Colour-ing sheets and crafts in schools at this time of year are all about the
Easter bunny and spring. By the way, what do
the Easter bunny and chocolate have to do
with Easter any ways? Absolutely nothing, but
it has become a good reason to eat chocolate,
and for retailers to earn money.
Easter like Christmas is so secularized that as a Christian it is hard not to be offended. A city
sponsored egg hunt on Good Friday, really? Why not Saturday? There is a paper on Good Friday this year, when it is pos-sible to have everything in Thursday’s paper as it has been in past years. The reality of Easter
doesn’t seem to matter as it should, and yet the gift of Easter is meant
for all of us!

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S S ZAVIDOVICI, Bosnia _ Salem Hajdarovac says
he didn’t sleep for a week when he heard his workshop had been granted the honour of carv-ing a special chair that Pope Francis will sit on during his visit to Bosnia.
Hajdarovac, 61, and his 33-year-old son Edin, both devout Muslims, started working on the chair on Monday in their little workshop in the central Bosnian town of Zavidovici.
They have put all other orders on hold to pro-duce the perfect chair by June 6, when the pontiff will hold a Mass in Sarajevo aimed at boosting efforts toward brotherhood in the country rav-aged by war two decades ago.
For decades, the family-run workshop has been carving religious souvenirs for visitors of the Catholic Medjugorje shrine and decorations for churches and mosques, but they see the chair as the highlight of their careers.
``It makes me extremely happy, because to make the chair for such a person is a huge and important thing,’’ Edin Hajdarovac told The Associated Press.
The design of the chair is a secret, they said. All they wanted to reveal is that they will use wood from a walnut tree and that it will depict various religious symbols, such as the Pope’s coat of arms and emblems of three Bosnian cathedrals.
The local priest, Miro Beslic, convinced his flock to finance the purchase of the material. The Hajdarovacs will carve the chair for free.
``The whole country is in financial crisis, but once people understood that this is about the pope ... then people accepted the idea,’’ Beslic told the AP.
Many Bosnians, including Muslims, Catholics and Christian Serb Orthodox, view Francis as a worthy pope _ similar to their feelings for John Paul II, who is perceived as a champion of inter-faith co-operation and peace. John Paul’s statue decorates a square in the centre of Sarajevo.
T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S S VATICAN CITY _ The Vatican finance minister
said Tuesday he hopes to avoid financial scandal with the upcoming Jubilee Year, saying the plans will be subject to new Vatican procedures to ensure they follow international standards for transparency and accountability.
Cardinal George Pell outlined the Vatican’s financial reform during a conference Tuesday to launch a book on better managing church assets _ a priority for Pope Francis after years of financial scandals and mismanagement at the Holy See.
Francis announced the Jubilee Year earlier this month to focus the church on his priority: mercy. It immediately set off panic among Rome officials who remember well the chaos that sur-rounded the 2000 Jubilee, when some 25 million pilgrims flocked to the Eternal City to mark the start of Christianity’s third millennium. Millions were spent cleaning up monuments and constructing new buildings, including a huge Vatican garage.
The Jubilee Year, starting Dec. 8, is only the 27th in the history of the Catholic Church. Such years allow the faithful to receive special indul-gences, ways to repair the damage of sin beyond the absolution granted by going to confession.
Vatican officials have said the frugal-minded Francis aims for a spiritual Jubilee focused on his message of mercy, not a spending spree.
``We hope to avoid scandals, certainly in such a moment,’’ Pell said.

Chilliwack Chiefs on Tuesday secured the Penticton Vees’ spot in the Fred Page Cup cham-pionship. It will be the Vees’ third appearance in the BCHL championship since 2012.
The Vees surrendered the opening goal at 6:08 of the second period when Jake Hand beat Vees goalie Hunter Miska on a play created by cap-tain Eric Roberts and for-mer Trail Smoke Eater captain Scott Davidson.
The lead lasted seven minutes when Dakota Conroy fed Connor Chartier for his ninth goal of the playoffs. Chartier scored the equalizer when his shot got past David Jacobson bouncing off the inside of the far post.
Four minutes later, Vees d-man Jarod Hilderman, named the second star, gave the Vees a 2-1 lead when his shot deflected off of Roberts’ stick. After two periods of play, the Vees held a 19-13 advantage in shots.
In the third period, the Vees distanced them-selves on goals by Tyson Jost, the winner, and Cam Amantea.
The Vees’ fourth goal was the result of great patience by co-captain Cody DePourcq, named first star with a two-assist
performance, as he held onto the puck behind the net then moved to the side before finding Amantea at the top of the crease where he banged home a shot high blocker on Jacobsen.
The Chiefs made it 4-2 when Mason Boh beat Miska in tight at 10:52.
But at 18:32 on the power play, Steen
Cooper, the third star, scored an empty netter. Miska finished with 20 saves on 22 shots, while Jacobsen also turned aside 20. Dante Fabbro, Matthew Serratore, Demico Hannoun and Chartier each had one assist. Conroy collected two. For the Chiefs, Brandon Potomak and Jake Larson also had an
assist each.The Vees will now
travel to Nanaimo to take on the Clippers at Frank Crane Arena on April 2. A Vees win would give the Chiefs another chance to advance as they would face the Clippers at home on Saturday. The Chiefs are now 0-3, the Clippers are 1-1 after Tuesdays action.

Vees advance to BCHL final
by taylor rocca Cranbrook Daily Townsman
Back and forth, back and forth they went Tuesday night at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook as the Calgary Hitmen skated to an 8-7 overtime vic-tory in Game 3 of WHL’s Eastern Conference quarter-final to take a 2-1 series lead over the Kootenay Ice.
“That was not the game both teams really set out to play,” said Hitmen forward Adam Tambellini Tuesday night. “With our first two games being pretty low scoring, that was definitely an interesting game, but we’re just really happy we came out on top in that one. “They played really well in the first two games and stole that one on our home ice. We really needed to come here and get this game, especially this first one here.”
Through Games 1 and 2 in Calgary, the Ice and Hitmen combined to score 12 goals.
Tuesday night was a complete-ly different story as the Ice and Hitmen came together and did their best to burn out the red goal lights at Western Financial Place, scoring 15 times through 61:12 of electrifying playoff hock-ey.
Tambellini was the final man to light the lamp Tuesday.
On a rush down the right wing, the six-foot-three son of Trail native Steve Tambellini registered the game-winning goal — his hat-trick marker on the evening — 1:12 into over-time to kill a spirited rally from the home side.
“I didn’t have much room to get to the net and didn’t really see much of a passing option,” Tambellini said. “I kind of just wanted to throw it on net, saw a couple guys in front. After that, I heard a stick and saw the red light come on. I don’t really know how it bounced in.”
Just as 2,126 fans in attend-ance were ready to leave their seats, Game 3 was knotted up one final time as Ice defenceman Rinat Valiev scored with four seconds remaining in regulation to tie the game 7-7 and force overtime.
Game 3 marks the second
consecutive game the Ice have dropped to the Hitmen in over-time, after falling 3-2 in Game 2 Sunday afternoon in Calgary.
“We’ve got to move on,” said Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill. “I don’t think all three goaltenders are real happy about their game. We’ve got to move on and we certainly have to put ourselves in a better position to help our goaltender. One thing about the playoffs is you’ve got to have a real short memory. The best thing about that is we get to play [Wednesday].
“You’ve got to roll with the punches sometimes. You’ve got to roll with the way the game’s going and try to score that last goal. Unfortunately we didn’t.”
With 15 goals scored between the two teams, it might be hard to pinpoint one particular star on either side of the puck, but Ice forward Tim Bozon scratched his name on the scoresheet an astounding six times as he tallied two goals and four assists in a losing cause.
“After two losses in overtime, we have to make sure we come out strong and show this team what we’re capable of doing,” Bozon said. “It’s not playoff scores — 8-7, I don’t know what to say. It’s crazy. For the fans, it’s probably good, but we’re not happy with that.”
Bozon’s performance in Game 3 tied a franchise record for most points in a post-season game, last set by forward Jaedon Descheneau, who tallied one goal and five assists March 24, 2014.
Oddly enough, Descheneau’s performance came during Game 3 of the 2014 WHL Eastern Conference Quarter-final — a 7-6 win for the Ice over the Hitmen.
In Game 3, Mack Shields earned his first start between the pipes in this series after coming on in relief of Brendan Burke for the third period of Game 2 in Calgary. Unfortunately for the native of Saskatoon, his evening lasted little more than 30 min-utes as he was pulled in favour of Burke after allowing four goals on 21 shots.
The teams played Wednesday night in Game 4 but scores were unavailable at press time.

Tambellini lifts Hitmen to OT win over Ice
submittedSix members from the Beaver Valley Recreation’s
Chito-Ryu Karate Dojo travelled to Penticton last weekend for Sensei Taneda’s Friendship Tournament.
Over 150 competitors from Chito-Ryu Dojos across western Canada gathered in Penticton to compete in Kata, Kumite, and Team Kata and to meet new and old friends.
In Boys 10-11 kata Dawson Stemmler performed a near flawless kata and brought home a bronze medal for his efforts, while in Boys 12-13 kata, Tyson Nelson delivered an excellent exhibition of athleticism and just missed a medal placing fourth.
In Boys 8-9 kata Lohan Buckland placed fifth in his division, while in the girls 12-13 Kata Meagan Campsall also performed a strong Rohai Sho Kata and nearly made the medals placing fourth in a very strong division of eight other girls.
In Woman’s Master’s Kata Division, Andrea
Buckland performed a very strong kata as well placing sixth. Nelson, Campsall, and Sensei Scott Hutcheson put up a good fight and placed fifth in the Black Belt division of the Team Kata.
“It’s not all about the medals won,” wrote Hutcheson in an email. “It’s the improvement gained in the experience, and without a goal like a tourna-ment-match to overcome, the drive to improve is stagnant.”
On Sunday, the Beaver Valley club also had a clinic with seven-time Canadian Nationial Kumite Champion seventh Dan Sensei Taneda and had an illuminating class with new exercises to share and improvements to do.
Beaver Valley Rec’s Chito Ryu karate trains Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays in Fruitvale and Tuesdays and Thursdays in Rossland. Call Kelly at BV Rec 367-9319 or Robin at Rossland Rec 362-2327 to join for our Spring Semester. See Photo Pg. 10.

Dear Annie: I have been married to “Jerry” for 10 years. We each have adult daughters from previous relationships.
Jerry has a peculiar rela-tionship with his daughter, “Serena.” She was taken from him by her mother at a very early age, and he did not see her again until she was 13. At age 15, she got into a fight with her moth-er and came to live with Jerry. He and his roommate allowed the girl to drink liquor and use their car. At some point, she was found in Jerry’s bed having sex with a strange man. She also ran up $1,000 in tele-phone charges calling her boyfriend back home.
When Serena went back to Mom, I moved in with Jerry. But Serena would call at all hours of the night. When she had another fight with Mom, Jerry invited her back without asking me. I put a lock on the phone, and Serena became angry and returned to Mom. After that, her relationship with Jerry was on-and-off for 10 years.
Jerry now visits Serena and her young son twice a
year for six weeks at a time, which drives me nuts. I find her to be manipulative and toxic and don’t care to deal with her. Last month, Jerry insisted I talk to her when she phoned at 3 a.m., and all she did was scream at me for 30 minutes. Jerry backed her up.
I told Jerry that Serena needs to apologize. I am upset by the way Jerry behaves toward her. When she is ill, he waits on her hand and foot, but when I was in a motorcycle crash, he expected me to get up and cook dinner. Jerry screams at me, yet he is all sweetness when speaking to Serena. He does nothing around the house other than take out the garbage, while I work full time, and all he does is
criticize me. He wants me to embrace Serena the way he does, but I cannot do it. I’m depressed and miser-able. What should I do? -- Second Place
Dear Second: Jerry has put Serena first, which means he will always take her side in any argument with you, and she knows it. Don’t expect any apologies. The question is what to do about your marriage, which sounds unhappy and stress-ful. Get some counseling, with or without Jerry, and figure out whether you are better off with or without him.
Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Cringing in Exercise Class,” who com-plained about a woman who chewed gum during classes. I’m surprised the instructor allows it. It is a safety hazard. The woman could inhale the gum and get it stuck in her wind-pipe.
I bet the insurance company that covers the exercise facility would put an end to anyone chewing gum posthaste. -- Better Practice Your Heimlich Maneuver
Dear Better: You make an excellent point that we had not considered. With the amount of exertion and breathing one does during exercise, the gum could easily end up where it shouldn’t. Thanks for weighing in.
Dear Readers: We are carrying on Ann Landers’
tradition that April 2 be set aside as Reconciliation Day, a time to make the first move toward mending bro-ken relationships. It also would be the day on which we agree to accept the olive branch extended by a for-mer friend or estranged family member and do our best to start over.

For Friday, April 3, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be tolerant with oth-ers, especially partners and close friends, because you will feel tension building up today before tomorrow’s Full Moon. Take note: This Full Moon is the only Full Moon that is opposite your sign all year. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Don’t make a big deal about errors or problems with co-workers today. It’s just not worth it. People are on edge because tomor-row’s Full Moon is build-ing. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Parents must be patient with children today. In addition, romantic partners need to be patient with each other. (Tomorrow’s Full Moon makes everyone cranky today.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Moon is your ruler,
which is why you feel the energy building up before a Full Moon. For example, you might not sleep. You feel this way today because the Full Moon is tomorrow. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a mildly accident-prone time for you because people are impatient and distracted. This includes you. Pay attention to every-thing you say and do. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Financial matters might distract you today because certain obstacles will occur. After tomorrow’s Full Moon, these same obstacles will diminish. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Tomorrow the Full Moon will occur in your sign, which is the only time all year this happens. That’s why today you feel distract-ed, nervous and a bit edgy. Relax. It’s gone in 48 hours. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Be patient and toler-ant with co-workers today, because everyone feels a buildup of energy before tomorrow’s Full Moon. Be part of the solution, not the problem. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A female acquaintance might be difficult to deal with today. Or you might encounter this with a group of people. Back off, and don’t be difficult.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might find it chal-lenging dealing with par-ents, bosses, teachers and VIPs today. This is because of the energy of tomorrow’s Full Moon. Just sit this one out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be mindful when you’re driving, jogging or walk-ing today, because people are distracted. They will be
distracted again tomorrow. Keep your eyes open. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Financial difficulties might come to a head at this time. Don’t worry, because this is a temporary problem that will be greatly lessened in three days. YOU BORN TODAY You are independent and can work and act on your own. You are playful and fun-lov-ing, and you are intuitive
about people. This is the year for you to settle your debts so that you can begin to prepare for financial accu-mulation in the next three years. (Yay!) To clear away indebtedness is the thrust of this year. Consolidate your affairs for future growth. Birthdate of: Matthew Goode, actor; Jennie Garth, actress; Cat Cora, chef.

B y W i l l J o h n s o nNelson Star
The Nelson Police Department is cur-rently grappling with an early influx of sea-sonal transients who have been sleeping on private property and causing drunken dis-turbances downtown.
“We get this every year, but this time around it’s happening really early,” said Sgt. Paul Bayes.
“The evening’s have been really cold, and with the shelter in transition between Stepping Stones and the new building, we’re seeing lots of people in bank vesti-bules, doorways, on people’s private prop-erties.”
And though many of the temporary squatters have agreed to move on without incident, police have also encountered some resistance from the nomadic visitors.
“Their history and demeanor will reflect how they’re dealt with. But if they’re severe-ly out of control, if they’re a safety risk to themselves or some-body else, then they’re coming in overnight.”
He said they end up holding someone over-night “every weekend, guaranteed.”
Bayes personal-ly was on scene for the recent arrest of a drunken, intoxicat-ed man who uttered threats downtown and led a multi-person chase past the Hume Hotel.
“It’s part of our job, and it happens. There’s always something else going on in the com-munity that we’d like to devote more resour-ces to, but with inci-dents like that it’s not something we can just ignore.”
Bayes said the inci-dents have been time-consuming.
“Maybe if we weren’t dealing with this guy passed out on the street, or wait-ing for an ambulance to show up, we would be patrolling these alleys to see if some-one’s about to boot in a door,” said Bayes, alluding to the recent robberies of The Royal and Max and Irma’s.
And though those investigations are ongoing, Bayes said there have been no
further break-ins reported since.
Bayes reminded the community that those caught drinking in
public can face a $230 fine, and those found intoxicated could receive a $115 penalty.
“Personally I can’t
afford a $230 fine for a two-dollar beer. You got to know your limit and stay within in, to quote ICBC,” he said.
He said it’s not only the nomadic visitors who are responsible for the outdoor drink-ing, as they’ve also
been catching Nelson residents pre-drinking en route to downtown.
“I just want to remind people that
sometimes you want to have a beer on the way to the bar, but it’s not allowed and there’s a good reason for that.”

I like to drive… at least I used to like to
drive. I am fresh-ly back from a short whirlwind vacation of sorts. Five days in the Silicon Valley. The home of tech. Maybe the birthplace of the autonomous car?
No, I did not drive from the Kootenays to there. I flew. By the way, it was the most uncomfortable flight I have ever taken. I had nega-tive legroom. Good thing Vancouver to San Francisco is only a bit over two hours. I know my legs are no longer growing so this was the least legroom on a plane I have experienced. Thank you Air Canada Rouge.
We chose to rent a car when we got to the San Francisco airport. We sort of had three areas to go to: Santa Cruz, Sunnyvale, and
San Fran while enjoy-ing all the beauty in between. My rental car of choice; Chrysler Town and Country.
I was chastised repeatedly by my teen-age son. “A minivan? This thing is a piece of crap.”
Ahhhh... our nation’s youth.
Our vacation includ-ed five people and surfing. That Town and Country eas-ily swallowed four surfboards and five people comfortably. My automobile selection was redeemed. Let’s see a Tesla or a Maserati provide that kind of yeoman service. Thank you Lee Iacocca.
I had fond memories of Chrysler’s minivans. Somehow time had blurred my judgement or this ver-sion of the minivan had gone downhill from the last one I drove. I dreamed that they were nice quiet cruisers with reasonably sharp steering and handling.
This one was maybe one of those Monday or Friday cars. It was noisy inside. The suspension was just plain jiggly. The six speed auto-matic thought it should be in sixth shortly after you got going and it would stay there until you forced it with the Mercedes style dashboard stick shift or you prodigious-ly prodded the accelerator pedal.
In case you have not been to the San Francisco Bay area let me tell you it is simply big city driving. Six to eight lane freeways and 70 miles per hour speed limits and congested traffic. Exits going all directions. Left right and centre. When you are not one hundred per cent sure where you are going it makes for an intense, frustrating driving experience.
Thank goodness for our trip out to Santa Cruz where I was caught by a few waves on my surfboard. I got to drive the coast Highway 1 from Santa Cruz to San Francisco.
It was a weekday and the trip was relaxing and gorgeous. Then there were some windy mountain roads in Woodside and Sunnyvale. I will be back some day with my Porsche.
Everyday included at least an hour or two of that intense freeway driving. Choosing the correct lane to drive in at any moment was a chal-lenge. The GPS was help-ful but not a total saviour. I started to wonder. Could an autonomous car take me on these freeways and get me where I wanted to go while I rested comfortably in a seat with plenty of legroom and while I listened to my favorite music? Would that really be possible?
I think my first Porsche will be autonomous with the autonomous off package. I guess I just want it all.
