Comparing commercial to residential con-struction is like comparing apples to oranges.
But a downward trend of big builds over six years means much less green in the regional dis-trict's building permit basket.
During the years of boom, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) built up reserves when the service's building inspectors were occupied with engineering or architectural plans, and on the road field checking industrial and commercial sites stretching from Ross Spur to Big White.
With that money stream drying up, save for mostly homeowner renovations, the regional district is looking at ways to sustain its building inspection service.
The department provides building inspection services to all five electoral areas and on a con-tract basis, to six municipalities.
Two RDKB building inspectors are based in Grand Forks, and three in the Trail office.
The regional district is contracted by each municipality to ensure that all buildings conform to the B.C. Building Code and applicable bylaws.
“A sizeable revenue reserve was established to offset taxation when construction activity was very high at Big White and elsewhere in the region,” explains Mark Andison, RDKB's general manager of operations. “But, with less-er building activity over the past few years (since 2008), that reserve has been depleted.”The service's year-end report shows a decrease of 50 permits since 2013. The combined total con-struction value amounts to $16.6 million com-pared to $33.8 million the year previous, within RDKB's rural areas and municipal participants in Fruitvale, Montrose, Trail, Warfield, Greenwood and Midway.
While that number appears dramatic, locally there's more to the service than dollar signs.
“It’s difficult to compare the year-to-year overall building value for Trail,” says Michelle McIsaac, the city's corporate administrator. “As the building value is heavily influenced by pro-jects at Teck and the construction undertaken there in any given year.”
According to the RDKB's building summary, there were zero building permits issued for the industrial, commercial and institutional markets in the city last year. Total building values for Trail in 2013 topped $13.9 million compared to $4.1 million in 2014.

Excitement was palpable and giggles abundant Wednesday night in the Rossland Summit School, during the first dress rehearsal for the cast of Anne of Green Gables. The 1908-inspired garments were constructed by costume mistress Shirley McLim. The Rossland Light Opera (RLOP) production of the Canadian literary classic takes centre stage in the Charles Bailey Theatre Feb. 20 and 21 at 7 p.m., and Feb. 22 for a 2 p.m. matinee. The show moves back to the Rossland Summit School on Feb. 27 and Feb 28 for 7 p.m. performances. RLOP actors (front to back) Sasha Leithead as Ruby Gillis; Julia Halbert, Anne; Brooklyn Donovan as Tillie; Kai Kruus, Gertie Pye; Hannah Flick, Diana Barry; Hollie Arsenault, Josie Pye; and Delaine Bowlman as Prissy.

It has been half a century since Anne of Green Gables first opened in a Charlottetown theatrical perform-ance and now, for the first time this February, the play will be performed by the Rossland Light Opera Players (RLOP) in venues located in Trail and Rossland.
The RLOP have not performed a major musical in the previous two years and since the fall of 2013, have been working towards this Canadian clas-sic based on the 1908 novel by Lucy Montgomery.
Marnie Jacobson of RLOP has always wanted to bring the Prince Edward Island story to life in Rossland and pre-sented the idea to the RLOP executive
committee over two years ago. Back then it was considered too expensive due to the royalty fees. Since then, RLOP member Karen Yamazaki was able to negotiate royalties, cutting them in half to bring a little piece of Canada’s oper-atic history to the Kootenays.
“It just made sense to do a Canadian play,” said Yamazaki.

When suffering from Parkinson's Disease, exercise makes all the difference.
A Parkinson's sufferer, Renice Townsend, recognized that need and last September, started up an exercise group for others who have been diagnosed with the nervous system disease.
The group currently meets every Thursday around lunchtime to practice their daily exercises, and even learn a few new ones.
Thanks to a nearly $2,000 donation from Trail's annual Mistletoe Market, the group is looking ahead to how it can improve the weekly meeting and find space for its exercise equipment.
“Rachel Jansen is a speech therapist at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital and her dad has Parkinson's, and she also organizes the charity fundraiser, the Mistletoe Market,” said Townsend. “This was really exciting for us because it was $1960.50 and we want to establish a really good venue for the fitness program. I am currently consulting with Joanne Robbins (the phys-iotherapist who leads the group), and we are making plans for the future. We are so pleased to have received this gracious donation that will greatly contribute to our group.”
The weekly exercise group has about 10 members who suffer from Parkinson's Disease and recognize the importance of daily exercise to help keep symptoms at bay.
“With Parkinson's, we are losing dopamine which is the chemical that gets our mus-cles working,” said Townsend. “With Parkinson's you can still develop new neural path-ways and that makes it so important to work on exercis-ing and stretching.”
Exercising for someone with Parkinson's has a differ-ent goal than someone going to the gym to lose some weight.
“I remember in physical education class a million years ago, it was about see-
ing how many sit-ups you can do in 30 seconds,” shared Townsend. “For a person with Parkinson's you want to do that exercise, but hold it. You want to keep the muscles lengthened. Short bursts of an exercise just doesn't do anything. You need the long stretches and every day.”
Townsend credits her life-long love of staying active for her high level of functionality over a decade after showing symptoms.
“I think one of the reasons I am functioning so well (13 years after showing symp-toms) is that I have always loved physical activity,” she said. “Now, unfortunately, I have to work at it a bit more, but I have a really good back-ground in that. The more I follow the daily exercise rou-tine, the more energy I have and the better I feel through-out the day.”
The group currently meets in the basement of St. Andrew's Anglican Church in Trail and Townsend can't say enough about how help-ful and accommodating the church staff has been for the exercise group.
“When we started in
September, we had a place, but had to move and I was determined to find anoth-er place,” she said. “The Anglican Church and Father Neil Elliot have been just great. They have a wheelchair accessible basement and they have been so cooperative. I cannot speak highly enough about how great they have been.”
Exercisers are also looking for a couple of volunteers to help them out during their weekly sessions, in order to provide one-on-one attention for everyone who shows up.
The group meets every Thursday afternoon at St. Andrew's Anglican Church from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.
For more information call Townsend at 367-7437 or Patti Leggett at 367-9258.

FROM PAGE 1It was Canadian comedian, actor,
director, journalist, author, playwright and composer Donald Harron who originally adapted the story for the stage.
Sadly at age 90, Harron passed away in January of this year, making the timing for RLOP to bring this show to a local audience even more felicitous.
Set in P.E.I., the performance guides the audience through the adventures of Anne Shirley, a young red-headed orphan mistakenly sent to brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert.
The Cuthbert siblings, who never
married so now live together, intended on adopting a boy to help with farm duties, but were instead sent Anne.
Producer, Patricia Senecal has a large role in bringing this show to life. She has a role on stage as well as behind the scenes.
“I am very passionate about the play; my mom was born in Prince Edward Island,” she said.
This light hearted entertainment is for all ages with 28 musical pieces performed by a full orchestra.
The music is snappy and the dia-logue witty.
“To be in a place like Rossland, so
far away from a big city, it is great to be on stage singing with a live orches-tra,” said Senecal. “The play appeals to everyone from kids to seniors, it is very well rounded that way,” she added.
There are about 35 cast members from throughout the Kootenays on stage plus an additional 15 to 20 back stage crew.
“Some characters have three or four costume changes,” explains Senecal.
The show opens at the Charles Bailey Theatre in Trail at 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 20. It then continues Saturday, Feb. 21 with a 7 p.m. performance, and Sunday, Feb. 22 at 2 p.m.

The trustees of School District 20 took care of a number of different issues at their Jan. 26 meeting, including weather policy, build-ing sales, and automated external defibrillators (AEDs).
On the first day of the winter semester, Jan. 5, parents and students weren’t sure if school busses were running because of a large snowfall the day before.
There were technical difficulties with the phone line dedicated to transportation issues, causing confusion among parents.
Trustees accepted a letter from Catherine Zaitsoff requesting they look at a creating policy to avoid the same situation seen on the first day of school.
There was discussion about whether a policy was necessary, but prompted by trustee Rosann Brunton, trustees agreed to come back and look at different ideas at the next trustee meeting in February.
“We can wait until we get some recommenda-tions and then we can maybe move it towards policy at the next meeting,” she said.
Other trustees agreed that policy was the way to go.
“There should be some kind of system,” said Mickey Kinakin.
Also from Zaitsoff, was a letter asking about the current status on the sale of the Blueberry school building.
Board chair, Darrel Ganzert said he couldn’t share any information about the sale.
“The board is not in a position to discuss any issues about Blueberry other than the fact that it is with the ministry,” he said. “Things are mov-ing along. We don’t anticipate it to take months, but rather weeks, but we don’t know. Until the ministry says something to us, we don’t have any information to provide to the public at this time.”
The building has not been used as a school since 2002, but is currently used as a recreation facility and community hub. In October, the Blueberry Creek Community School Council tried to buy the building for $1.
Financial issues were also on the agenda, spe-cifically dealing with the money the board saved during the strike in September.
The school board took half of the strike sav-ings from SD20, totaling almost $590,000. They are unsure of when the province will take back the other half.
“They have said they will take 100 per cent (of strike savings) from each district, and they have taken 50 per cent from all districts,” said Natalie Verigin, board secretary-treasurer.
School District 52, in Prince Rupert, sent a letter asking for 20 per cent of its total strike savings back and the board agreed they should do the same.
“I think that we should be sending a letter asking for the same amount, if not more,” said trustee Mark Wilson. “All the districts should do that. I think we should have a letter.”
The next school board meeting is Feb. 23 at Stanley Humphries Secondary School in Castlegar.

FROM PAGE 1However, nearly $10 million
in overall permit construction value the previous year is attrib-uted to projects at Teck Trail Operations, specifically, the No. 1 Acid Plant.
“Comparably in 2014, pro-jects at Teck accounted for only $200,000 in overall construction value,” McIsaac explained.
“Construction at Teck in 2014 was significantly reduced, although it’s important to note that construction of the No. 1 Acid Plant continued in the first half of 2014, even though the permits were issued in 2013.”
If Teck’s permits are taken out of the equation, then con-struction value in Trail actually increased by about $100,000 since 2013, McIsaac clarified.
Similarly in Fruitvale, 2013 saw several new constructions with 39 permits translating into an increased building value of $2 million.
Because the larger projects carried into 2014, values aren’t reflected in the recent building report summary.
Instead, the 27 permits issued last year for upgrades to exist-ing village builds amount to $800,000 in total.
“So there may be a timing dif-ference between the permitting and the construction phases,” says Lila Cresswell, Fruitvale’s chief administrative officer. “Commercial construction is higher value than residential and most of the 2014 permits were for renovations rather than new construction.”

Fruitvale resident will remain in custody until at least April 7.
Jordan Brian Shimell, of Rocky Mountain House, Alta., made an appearance in Rossland provincial court on Thursday via video link from a BC pre-trial centre. Following the brief appearance, the case was adjourned to April 7.
Shimell is charged with second degree mur-der in the death of Scott Douglas Decembrini, 52.
He was arrested without incident when RCMP responded to a report of a man with life-threatening injuries. Decembrini was rushed to the hospital in Trail, where he died.
The victim and Shimell were known to each other, but police have not revealed their exact relationship or the cause of death.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVICTORIA - Companies will pay little more
than a toonie to bottle as much groundwater as can fill a 25-metre swimming pool when new fees take effect in British Columbia next year.
The levy is part of a rate schedule intro-duced by the Ministry of Environment, which until recently has not charged for the use of groundwater.
Household wells through B.C. will not require a licence or pay a fee, but the govern-ment will charge others between two cents and $2.25 for every one-million litres of groundwater, or enough to fill the pool.
The fees mean a household using muni-cipal water may pay an extra loonie or toon-ie annually, and a farm growing hay in Kamloops may see their costs jump from $90 to $128 to irrigate a 16-hectare field.
But the highest rate has been set for water-bottling companies that will pay $2.25 per million litres.
The ministry says the fees are meant to cover the costs of the May 2014 Water Sustainability Act, which comes into force next year.
“British Columbia is blessed with an abun-dant water supply that our government is committed to preserving for future genera-tions,” says Environment Minister Mary Polak in a media release. “The new fee structure will ensure fairness and affordability are corner-stones of our modernized water legislation.”

Potential future NHL-ers, WHL draft picks and junior A hockey players will be showcased in Penticton in what organizers believe will bring a $1.5 million economic spinoff to the city.
The Okanagan Hockey Academy and Global Spectrum Facility Management announced on Thursday they will be hosting the Canadian Sport School Hockey League championship in March.
“The community of Penticton and the region of the South Okanagan are going to be treated to some extremely competitive and talented ath-letes here,” said CSSHL chairman and Okanagan Hockey Academy president Andy Oakes. “You have some of the best bantam and midget players in Western Canada that are going to be playing here in Penticton.”
The four-day event will be run by the OHA and Global, with support from the City of Penticton and the Penticton Hospitality Association. A total of 33 teams will be in Penticton March 12 to 15 with games at the South Okanagan Events Centre, OHS Training Centre, Memorial Arena
and McLaren Park Arena.In the six years since the league’s inception,
the tournament has travelled to different com-munities. Oakes hopes to change that.
“Now that the tournament is so large there are very few spots that can host all the teams together and we have expanded for next season. We are putting in a female division which is going to give the league about 45 teams,” said Oakes. “We are in a situation where it becomes very limited where it can go and our goal, as you heard from everyone is, let’s put on a show like nobody else can put on and keep it here. This is our one-time shot to impress the other league members to say, ‘Hey, lets go back to Penticton annually, forget going elsewhere.’”
The tournament will bring over 600 student-athletes and 100 staff members to the city, as well as an estimated 1,000 family members and scouts. By the organizers’ estimate it will tally up to about 2,000 hotel rooms throughout the duration of the event.
As of Wednesday, the schools themselves have booked over 200 hotel rooms for four straight nights.
Jakubeit said hosting the tournament builds on a new initiative with the tourism develop-ment task force. He hopes the timing of the CSSHL tournament, right before spring break, translates into families spending extra days in Penticton and translates to visits in the future.

Fraser Health is defending its policy of charging for pay parking at most of the region’s hospitals to generate additional revenue.
The policy – long denounced by hospi-tal users as a heart-less cash grab – came under fire again at a Jan. 29 meeting of Fraser’s board of direc-tors in White Rock.
Langley Township resident Harold Nagy demanded to know why Delta and Mission don’t have “this B.S. about pay parking” while patients and visitors must pay at other hospitals.
Delta and Mission are the only two muni-cipalities that have bylaws that prohibit pay parking at hospi-tals.
“They should all be free,” Nagy said, add-
ing the charges make some patients worry they’ll run out of time and be fined. “It’s a place of necessity when you go there. It’s not like going out for supper.”
About a third of the $8 million Fraser earns from pay parking goes to maintain the lots and the rest goes into the authority’s budget for patient care.
“Personally, I wish it could be consistent,”
Fraser Health board chair Karen Matty told Black Press. “But we do not write bylaws in the various commun-ities.”
The Canadian Medical Association Journal once likened pay parking to an unfair user fee that can add stress for patients and disrupt their care if they have to go out and feed a meter.
Fraser provides free parking passes for renal dialysis patients and grants other finan-cial hardship parking permits on a case-by-case basis.
For everyone else, Matty predicts hospital pay parking is here to stay.
“Having to pay for parking is something that people need to get their head around,” she said.
“I don’t want to pay for parking. But parking seems to be becoming a premium here in B.C., especially
the Lower Mainland. “Part of the rationale
for pay parking is it spurs stall rotation, so some spaces are avail-able when patients and visitors need them and aren’t hogged all day by users from sur-rounding businesses.
Parking costs $3.50 an hour at most hos-pitals in the Fraser region, although that starts at $4.25 at Burnaby, Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals, while hourly rates are lower in the eastern Fraser Valley – $2.50 in Abbotsford, $1.75 in Chilliwack and free in Hope.
White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said he can’t recall his coun-cil ever being asked to outlaw pay parking at Peace Arch Hospital.
But he suggested Delta Hospital is a spe-cial case because of its location with an abun-dance of other free parking nearby.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - The
Supreme Court of Canada has unani-mously struck down the ban on providing a doctor-assisted death to mentally compe-tent but suffering and “irremediable” patients.
The historic, groundbreaking deci-sion from the coun-try’s top court sweeps away the existing law and gives Parliament a year to draft new legis-lation that recognizes the right of clearly consenting adults who are enduring intoler-able suffering - physic-al or mental - to seek medical help ending their lives.
The judgment, which is unsigned to reflect the unanimous institutional weight of the court, says the current ban infringes on all three of the life, liberty and security of person provisions in Section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
It does not limit p h y s i c i a n - a s s i s t -ed death to those suffering a terminal illness.
“For seriously and incurably ill Canadians, the brave people who worked side by side with us for so many years on this case - this decision will mean everything to them,” said a vis-ibly overjoyed Grace Pastine, the litiga-tion director for the
B.C. Civil Liberties Association.
The court clearly instructs parliamen-tarians that current laws “unjustifiably infringe (Section 7) of the charter and are of no force or effect to the extent that they pro-hibit physician-assist-ed death for a compe-tent adult person who (1) clearly consents to the termination of life and (2) has a grievous and irremediable med-ical condition (includ-ing an illness, disease or disability) that caus-es enduring suffering that is intolerable to the individual in the circumstances of his or her condition.”
The pressure will now be on Parliament to act in an election year, as the court says no exemptions may be granted for those seek-ing to end their lives during the 12-month suspension of the judgment.
Friday’s decision was spurred by the families of two now-deceased British Columbia women, supported by Pastine’s organization.
Gloria Taylor, who had a neurode-generative disease, eventually died of an infection. Kay Carter, then 89, travelled to Switzerland, where assisted suicide is allowed.
Taylor had won a constitutional exemp-tion at a lower court for a medically assist-ed death in 2012, but that decision was over-turned in subsequent appeals.
“Justice, dignity
and compassion were the defining qualities of my mother,” Lee Carter told a crush of reporters after the decision came down.
“We just felt that it was a fundamental right for Canadians that they should have this choice.”
She called it “a huge victory for Canadians and a legacy for Kay.”
Hollis Johnson, Kay Carter’s son-in-law, called her “a vibrant and intelligent woman” who “dreamed of legal change for all Canadians, because she believed the laws forced people like her to suffer needlessly at the end of their lives.”
The Supreme Court gave a ring-ing endorsement of the original B.C. trial judge’s findings, albeit not for a constitutional exemption.
The decision revers-es the top court’s 1993 ruling in the case of Sue Rodriguez, a fact the decision attributes to changing jurispru-dence and an altered social landscape.
Two decades ago, the court was con-cerned that vulner-able persons could not be properly protected under physician-assisted suicide, even though courts recog-nized the existing law infringed a person’s rights.
But the experi-ence of existing juris-dictions that permit doctor-assisted suicide compelled the courts to examine the record.
The B.C. trial judge “found no compel-ling evidence that a
permissive regime in Canada would result in a ‘practical slippery slope,”’ wrote the top court.
“An individual’s response to a grievous and irremediable med-ical condition is a mat-ter critical to their dig-nity and autonomy,” the judgment says.
“The law allows people in this situa-tion to request pal-liative sedation, refuse artificial nutrition and hydration, or request the removal of life-sustaining medical equipment, but denies the right to request a physician’s assistance in dying.”
The ruling goes on to state that “by leaving people like Ms. Taylor to endure intolerable suffering, it impinges on their security of person.”
The court agreed with the trial judge “that a permissive regime with properly designed and admin-istered safeguards was capable of protecting vulnerable people from abuse and error. While there are risks, to be sure, a carefully designed and managed system is capable of adequately addressing them.”
Supreme Court reverses course on doctor-assisted deathTop court rules ban
unconstitutional Here is a look at some right-to-die laws that are already in place in other jurisdictions:
QUEBEC: A right-to-die bill was adopted in Quebec last year, the first legislation of its kind in Canada. The law, scheduled to go into effect in December, stipu-lates that patients would have to repeatedly ask a doctor to end their lives on the basis of unbear-able physical or psychological suffering. They would have to be deemed mentally sound at the time of the requests.
OREGON: The results of a ref-erendum made Oregon the first U.S. state to make it legal for a doctor to prescribe a life-ending drug to a terminally ill patient of sound mind who makes the request. However, doctors cannot administer the life-ending drugs and the patient must swallow them without help. Patients must state three times - once in writ-ing - that they wish to die, and those statements must be made at least 15 days apart. They must also obtain a concurring opinion from a second doctor that they have less than six months to live and are of sound mind. The law took effect in late 1997, and just over 800 people had used the law.
SWITZERLAND: A law passed in 1942 forbade anyone from helping someone kill themselves for selfish reasons. As a result, people arguing that they are assisting with a suicide for unself-ish motives are not considered to
be committing a crime. Suicides can be assisted by people other than doctors and no medical con-dition needs to be established. Switzerland is the only country that allows foreigners to travel there for the purpose of ending their own lives.
NETHERLANDS: In the Netherlands, euthanasia is legal under specific circumstances and for children over the age of 12 with parental consent. In Europe, patients don’t have to prove that they have a terminal illness - establishing unbearable suffering is usually sufficient. Dutch doc-tors are allowed to perform eutha-nasia if a patient whose unbear-able suffering has no hope of improvement asks to die with a full understanding of the situa-tion. A second doctor must agree with the decision.
BELGIUM: The country legal-ized euthanasia for adults in 2002. In the last decade, the number of reported cases per year has risen from 235 deaths in 2003 to 1,432 in 2012, the last year for which statistics are available. Doctors typically give patients a powerful sedative before injecting another drug to stop their heart. In 2014, the age limit of 18 was lifted, and terminally ill children who have parental and physician consent are now eligible.

OPINION
Post-secondary ‘re-engineering’ beginsPremier Christy
Clark’s push to “re-engineer” the B.C. education
system is moving ahead aggressively in B.C.’s 25 post-secondary institu-tions.
One of the first tasks for Andrew Wilkinson in his new role as advanced education minister was to outline the shift in operat-ing grants for colleges and universities to in-demand occupations.
By 2017, a quarter of the money for post-sec-ondary institutions will be directed to areas where labour force surveys fore-cast a need.
This was greeted with some alarm when it was announced last year. Simon Fraser University president Andrew Petter at first downplayed the coming skills shortage as “relatively small” and warned against pushing post-secondary institu-tions into a “zero sum battle for dollars.”
Petter has since come on board, as his approving
comments were featured in the ministry’s Jan. 26 news release detailing the shift.
He and others have been assured that in spite of Clark’s rhetoric, sug-gesting trades training is in and university is out, the news for SFU and other universities isn’t all that bleak.
Wilkinson is complet-ing a province-wide tour of all post-secondary institutions this week, and I reached him at his visit to Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops.
“The response to this has generally been pretty good, because the stu-dents are putting this pressure on institutions themselves,” he said. “Some of the institutions are … shrinking things like teacher education and putting more effort into the science-based, quan-titative fields that are often related to these in-demand occupations.”
The surplus of teach-er graduates has been noticeable for some time,
but that’s largely a func-tion of oversupply, much of it in urban areas. In the Cariboo, for example, teaching jobs are pro-jected to have the highest number of openings by 2022, followed by nurs-ing and retail and whole-sale trade managers. Then come heavy duty mechan-ics and electricians, but also paraprofessional jobs in legal, social, commun-ity and educational ser-vices.
Province-wide, it’s part of a broader demographic shift to fewer children and more retirees. In fact the government started this targeted funding a dec-
ade ago with health care, forcing universities to produce more doctors, nurses, lab techs and so forth.
The retiring baby boom is expected to account for more than half of the openings in the next dec-ade, which will expand the skills demand across most fields, beyond the trades training for the anticipat-ed liquefied natural gas industry and other high-demand industrial areas such as truck driving.
Wilkinson notes that of the ministry’s $1.9 billion budget, about 60 per cent goes into general post-secondary education, for introductory courses that students take when they are seeking a career path, through undergraduate studies to professions.
“So I think the idea that we’re going to some-how minimize or dimin-ish funding in that gen-eral education, arts and science category is just not true,” he said.
Key to this shift is measuring the perform-
ance of courses offered at colleges, universities and technical schools. Each year, the ministry surveys about 30,000 graduates to find out whether their studies helped them find a related job.
The results are avail-able on a website that breaks them out by insti-tution and general study area.
To find it, do a web search for “BC student outcomes” and select the “executive dashboard” to check the results for courses and schools in your region.
The site provides charts showing the percentage of students who land rel-evant jobs.
Not surprisingly, it tends to be higher for technical programs and lower for fine arts.
It also shows grads’ average wages, a sobering but useful bit of informa-tion for high school stu-dents and their parents.

Friday’s Puzzle solved
T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SNEW YORK - NBC News has assigned the head
of its own investigative unit to look into state-ments made by anchor Brian Williams about his reporting in Iraq a dozen years ago.
A source at the network who requested ano-nymity because the person is not authorized to speak on personnel matters confirmed the investigation on Friday. Williams has apologized for falsely saying on the air that he was in a heli-copter hit by a rocket-propelled grenade while in Iraq in 2003.

TIMES PHOTO
From the Trail Creek News in 1895 to the Trail Times in 2015, the venerable local newspaper and its staff (from the left; Liz Bevan, Shannon McIlmoyle,
Sheri Regnier, Jeanine Margoreeth, Kevin Macintyre, Dave Dykstra, Jim Bailey, Michelle Bedford, Lonnie Hart and Guy Bertrand) are celebrating its 120th
anniversary in 2015.
Newspaper grows from humble beginnings in 1895B Y S H E R I R E G N I E R
Times Staff
The source of prosperity of the
Trail Creek county is, of course, its
magnificent ore bodies, according
the first edition of the Trail Creek
News. “Our interests at present
lie centred in and about the noble
structure that is rising foot by foot
on the brow of the hill overhanging
the beautiful town of Trail and of
its growth and magnitude we now
write,” noted the paper's writer and
editor W.F. Thompson on the inau-
gural front page.
The day was Saturday, Oct. 19,
1895 when Volume No. 1 of The
Trail Creek News was hot off the
presses. Under the headline, “This Means
You! When You Patronize the News
You Help Trail Grow,” Thompson
writes that it is now in order for
every citizen of Trail to subscribe
for the home newspaper, The Trail
Creek News, and “the times are
right for such a movement, the
price is right and if the News of
today is not all right, we will make
it right in future issues.”
The price was said to be “cheap”
at $2 per year, and the News office
would be found open all day long
and far into the night, and future
readers were expected to hand in
their subscription at once, so they
would not miss one issue of the
Trail newspaper. “If you want the
news, you must read the News,”
Thompson proclaimed almost 12
decades ago.While there's no silver or gold
commemoration for more than a
century of news reporting, the Trail
Times staff decided an honorary pat
on the back is deserving to all the
people who have typed, pressed,
written, delivered, or simply read
their way into the 120-year history
of the Silver City's only surviving
newspaper.Over the course of the year, we
will actively seek stories from peo-
ple in the Greater Trail commu-
nity such as long time subscribers,
past paper carriers and retired office
workers, who have memories to
share about how the Trail Times has
impacted their lives.See EARLY, Page 3
Celebrating 120 years
A little more than four years ago, a candidate for the leadership of the B.C. Liberal party –
Christy Clark – set out her plan to regain public trust through a series of Open Government initiatives that she commit-ted to following through on if chosen by party members.
Four years later – despite her pledge – British Columbians are routinely greeted with reports of government secrecy: Mount Polley inquiry: 150 pages with-held by the B.C. g o v e r n m e n t ; Marcia McNeil report on health firings: parts of Appendix C and all of Appendix D withheld; key informa-tion about new Okanagan jail locked away.
This wasn’t the public’s expectation when Clark said that she was going to lead the most open and transparent gov-ernment in Canada. A cynic might suggest she didn’t even set the bar particularly high. Yet, it seems, it’s still a bar too high for her government to clear.
On her swearing in back in 2011, Clark announced a new ministry of Open Government and a cabinet committee on open government and engage-ment. News releases were issued and government pro-nouncements staged to trum-pet progress.
A few months later, B.C.’s first minister of Open Government, Stephanie Cadieux, had this to say about the government’s release of open datasets and proactive posting of govern-ment expenses: “With today’s announcement we become national leaders and I assure
you there’s more to come.”No, Ms. Cadieux, that was
pretty well it.Search “open government”
in the B.C. Newsroom, the government’s website for news releases and official missives from the ministries, and there’s more than 450 results.
More telling? Since July 1, 2013, there’s two.
In fact, by the time the 2013 election rolled around, the first
specks of dust were already settling on the premier’s much b a l l y h o o e d pledge.
Search the B.C. Liberal party’s election platform for ‘open’ and you’ll find a reference to an open skills training-driven apprentice sys-
tem, an open textbook commit-tee, open heart surgery and this key pledge: “we will continue to travel overseas to open new markets.”
But not one reference to ‘open government’ or anything approximating it.
Liberal party supporters can take some solace in the fact that the government kept its commitment to “continue to travel overseas.” Promise made, promise kept.
With the election so went the Ministry of Open Government. Rolled into Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services we’re told, but nary a reference to it in Andrew Wilkinson’s first mandate letter as minister from the premier.
In the premier’s second man-date letter to Wilkinson last June, a mention. But through a cruel twist of fate it’s fallen on Amrik Virk to deliver options to cabinet on ways “to improve citizens’ access to information.”
As Vancouver Sun columnist Vaughn Palmer wryly noted: “So the guy who was caught out by a whistleblower leak of emails has now been put in charge of open government. Who says the B.C. Liberals don’t have a sense of humour?”
The government’s waning interest in the issue is mirrored on the B.C. Liberal party’s web-site as well. There’s a reference to it, but what it means has changed remarkably over four years.
In 2011, open government was one of the party’s three key priorities, along side creat-ing jobs and putting families first. Come to think of it, none of those priorities worked out particularly well for the govern-ment.
By 2013, open govern-ment gave way to ‘opening up government.’ Priorities were replaced by accomplishments, that included: establishing an Auditor General for Local Government, providing quar-terly reports to the province via webcast, and by having the “greatest percentage of women in cabinet – 44 per cent of min-isters.”
Last May, it became “An open government.” Bullet points gone. It’s all about listening to and consulting with British Columbians “on an unpreced-ented scale.” Or what might be better called “Let’s chat” rather than Open Government.
In her 2011 year-end report, Premier Clark stated: “Open Government is about giving people a sense of confidence that government is working for them, not trying to do some-thing to them.”
It would seem – somewhere along the way – the govern-ment decided doing something to British Columbians was easi-er than working for them.

T H e C a N a D i a N P r e s sOTTAWA - Justin Trudeau
says he has “deep person-al respect” for members of Canada’s armed forces and for Prime Minister Stephen Harper to suggest otherwise is an insult.
The Liberal leader says Harper insulted not just him but the 18 military veter-ans who are running for the Liberals in the coming elec-
tion.And he says Harper insulted
all Canadians who believe they should be able to disagree on policy without having their patriotism questioned.
Harper told a London, Ont., radio station on Sunday that Trudeau betrayed “a deep dis-trust and, frankly, dislike of the Canadian military” during debate last fall on Canada’s participation in airstrikes
against Islamic extremists in Iraq.
The Liberals opposed the deployment.
At that time, the Conservatives accused Trudeau of showing disrespect for the military after he quipped that Canada should be involved in providing humanitarian aid to Iraq “rather than trying to whip out our CF-18s and show them how big they are.”

Marilyn Frew (left) presented Art Winstanley, from the Kootenay-Columbia Educational Heritage Society, a plaque showing Laura J. Morrish school history last week. From 1984 until 1999, the Gordon Frew Memorial Trophy scholarship was awarded to the top academic achiever at the elementary school. Since Morrish was renovated into what is now the Kootenay-Columbia Learning Centre, Mrs Frew stored the plaque, that honours her late husband and well known Trail educator, in her home. After talking with her children, the family decided the rightful place for the historical artifact was in the hands of the archives group.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SSASKATOON - Gordie Howe learned
to play hockey with second-hand skates.His first pair tumbled out of a burlap
sack his mother bought from a neigh-bour. He and his sister Edna each took one oversized skate, stuffing them with woollen socks to make them fit. Howe’s eagerness eventually won out and he bought Edna’s skate for a dime to com-plete his set.
The well-known story of Howe’s humble beginnings is still discussed by the children who play shinny out-side the hockey legend’s old school in Saskatoon.
“He grew up skating on this rink,” says 13-year-old Taylor Hanemaayer, pointing to a dark-green house that sits behind King George Community School.
“That’s where he grew up. He’s the only famous hockey player that’s gone to this school.”
Len Ermine, 12, says hopeful play-ers still look up to the man known as “Mr. Hockey.” A large sign read-ing “Welcome Home Gordie Howe” sits near the school’s front entrance.
“He’s a really good player,” says Ermine.
Howe was in Saskatoon on Friday for a celebrity sports dinner that paid
tribute to his life and career. He holds NHL records for most games played (1,767) and seasons played (26). His 801 career goals rank second to Wayne Gretzky’s 894.
The Hall of Famer played on four Stanley Cup championship teams in Detroit during a 25-year stint that began in 1946.
The 86-year-old suffered two disab-ling strokes late last year. His family has said his health has improved after he underwent a stem-cell treatment as part of a clinical trial in Mexico.
Howe’s sister, Helen Cummine, who lives in Saskatoon, says Howe was excit-ed to return home. But added the family is still reeling after her older brother, Vic, died in Moncton, N.B.
Vic Howe played three seasons for the NHL’s New York Rangers in the 1950s. Cummine says her two brothers were especially close and fondly remem-bers them pranking her as a child.
“(They) would get a brick of ice cream, cut it in half, tie (us) to banister of the stairs and sit there and eat it in front of us. They’d say ‘when you’re free you can have some,”’ she says with a laugh. “We never got any.”
Gordie Howe, one of nine siblings, was actually born in Floral, Sask., a tiny community just southeast of Saskatoon. The family moved to the city when he
was an infant.“We had a good time,” Cummine
recalls.Patton MacLean lives in the home
where the Howe children grew up. He says the house is a point of pride for the community.
“It’s like owning a piece of local his-tory,” says MacLean.
“He’s in many people’s mind and in my mind the greatest hockey player who ever lived.”
The city brims with pride for Howe, whether it is a statue, or the street in front of the city’s largest arena that is named after him.
Mayor Don Atchison remembers attending a parade for Howe in 1966.
“It instilled a lot of pride in the city of Saskatoon,” he says. “Here we have a legend that is right amongst us here in our own city.”
Steve Hogle, president of the city’s Western Hockey League team, the Saskatoon Blades, calls Howe “a God in the hockey world.”
“He is absolutely a mythical figure,” says Hogle. “His name is just so respect-ed in the hockey community.”
Hogle says Howe’s career still motiv-ates players.
“Every child’s dream can be realized,” he says. “You can come from anywhere, be it small-town Floral, Saskatchewan.”
T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SSPOKANE, Wash. - The family of a
Seahawks fan who died after the Super Bowl says he would have enjoyed the dig at the team they put in the last line of his obituary:
“We blame the Seahawks lousy play call for Mike’s untimely death.”
The obituary for Michael Vedvik appeared Thursday in The Spokesman-Review (http://bit.ly/1DjeuPR ).
His wife, Stephanie, says he would have found the line hilarious.
The 53-year-old Kent man actually didn’t see the game. He recorded it, intending to watch later, and went to sleep not feeling well, thinking it was indigestion or stress. He died in bed after a heart attack.
His brother-in-law added the line about Seattle’s unsuccessful final play to the obitu-ary and Stephanie Vedvik approved.

B y C R A I g L I N D S A yGrand Forks Gazette
There was plenty of excitement at Christina Lake this past weekend and it wasn’t all during Winterfest. Christina Lake firefighters responded to a call from a pregnant woman and ended up helping her give birth in back seat of her car at the Tempo Gas Station at the Lake.
Ken Gresley-Jones, Christina Lake Fire Rescue chief, told the Gazette they got a call from 9-1-1 at 5:57 a.m. on Feb. 2 and attended shortly after.
“What happened was the people were on their way to Nelson to have the baby and they made it to the long, straight stretch on the highway before Paulsen Bridge,” he recalled. “She said, ‘I’m not gonna make it. Let’s head back.’ They got as far as the Tempo and they called 9-1-1. We showed up and, well, she had the baby!”
Gresley-Jones said it was definitely a first for Christina Lake Fire Rescue. He’s just glad every-thing went well and the baby is a healthy boy.
“It’s our first delivery,” he said. “It went fine. You always worry about what if. But if everything is right it’s one of the most natural things there is. This one was and thank God. You don’t want complications with something like that. It’s just too precious a time to have problems and we didn’t. It was great.”
Gresley-Jones said the department had an emergency childbirth kit which they used. B.C. Ambulance paramedics showed up on scene shortly after the baby was born.
“The delivery took place by the mom and one of our first responders,” he said. “It’s a first. It went well. They were fairly calm.”
For the mother, it was not her first—some-thing that Gresley-Jones was very thankful for. He said the couple, who are from Grand Forks, was very calm, especially considering the cir-cumstances.
Mom and baby were taken by ambulance to Boundary Hospital in Grand Forks just as a pre-caution.

BY JIM BAILEYTimes Sports EditorAthletes from the
Black Jack Ski Club and Red Mountain Academy will suit up for Team B.C. when the 2015 Canada Winter Games get underway in Prince George this week.
From Feb. 13 until March 1, the 2015 Canada Winter Games will bring together 2,400 athletes, 1,000 coaches and officials, up to 4,500 volunteers, hundreds of media and thousands of visitors in Prince George and northern B.C. in the the largest and most prestigious multi-sport competition for
young Canadian ath-letes.
Five Black Jack cross-country skiers fill out the men’s Team B.C. squad, includ-ing David Palmer and Geoffrey Richards of Rossland, Julien Locke of Nelson, Scott Fraser from Saskatchewan and recent U23 World championship quali-fier Colin Ferrie of Kimberley. The ski-ers have had a qual-ity season on the Haywood-NorAm cir-cuit this year and with Colin Ferrie returning from the U23 World Championships in Kazakhstan today, are expected to do well at the Games.
“It (Black Jack) is the only program in the province that has so many senior skiers that are so good,” said Black Jack coach David Wood.
To have so many quality skiers from one club on one team is indeed rare, and while it likely has much to do with the former National Team coach, Wood deflects any praise to the Black Jack Club as a whole.
“It’s not just me, it’s the whole club that is doing well, and I think in Black Jack that’s our focus and that is what we are trying to accom-plish.” said Wood. “We have an environment
where skiers can train in the Kootenays and succeed nationally and internationally, and these guys are quite good with the junior skiers as well.”
The extensive train-ing has paid off for the tight-knit group of ski-ers, and Wood expects good results when it comes to the Games competition.
“Our guys are cer-tainly going to be amongst the favour-
ites,” said Woods. “They are all different; Julien will fight hard in the sprints, I believe he can win, and David and Colin are more dis-tance guys, and they’ll do fine there too. But I think the B.C. Team should be able to win the relay, we have lots of good guys, and we’re solid on every leg, so I think that should be a real goal.”
Joining the Black Jack skiers on the
provincial team is Red Mountain Academy slopestyle snowboard-er Isabella Beharrell, a Nanaimo native. The snowboarder finished second and third at the FIS championship at Big White last month.
The cross-coun-try skiing events will commence the second week of the Games, with the first race going Feb. 23, while Beharrell will hit the slopes on the 24th.
“This is a great opportunity for the BC athletes to be able to compete in their home Province,” said Chris Nakonechny, Head Coach of the BC Provincial Snowboard Cross Team.
“The lead up to the Games has allowed BC Snowboard and the Northern clubs to fur-ther grow the sport in the North. All in all it has been very success-ful.”

B Y J I M B A I L E YTimes Sports Editor
Greater Trail will send a strong contin-gent of athletes to the Special Olympics B.C. Winter Games in Kamloops this weekend
The B.C. Winter Games will attract more than 600 athletes from eight zones across the province, competing in seven sports including floor hockey, figure skat-ing, snowshoeing, alpine skiing, curling, cross-country skiing, and speed skating.
Sheila Hawton will lead the Kootenay Team as chef de mission, while a strong floor hockey squad, the SOBC-Trail Roadrunners, coached by Ben Postmus and Chris Kuchar will compete along with
downhill skier Stuart Hawton coached by Darrel Fry, and the SOBC-Trail snowshoe team comprised of William Thatcher and Jake Miller and coached by Luke Thatcher and Jared Munn.
The athletes qualified for the Games last year in Kelowna, and although the snowshoe team is relatively new, Thatcher is happy with the progress.
“I’m looking forward to seeing how the athletes perform at the provincials,” said Thatcher. “I was overwhelmed at the districts last year, just how fast they were.”
The snowshoe team engages in a weekly dryland-training session, and practices on snowshoes at Gyro and Montrose Park during the week, as well as race against
Montrose Fire Fighters’ finest. Coach Thatcher says he wants to see his team enjoy the experience of the Games, but is also impressed with their dedication this season.
“It’s just their second year starting, and they’ve already made it to provincials, so you can’t ask for anything more as a coach,” said Thatcher. “I think they will compete very well. These guys have got faster, their times have just downhilled, they’ve already lost over 10 seconds in their sprints. They were pretty quick last year, but they are even quicker this year, so that’s nice to see.”
Miller is most looking forward to the competition. A sprint specialist, the Trail
native will compete in the 200 and 400-metre races.
“I’m looking forward to going to Kamloops,” said Miller. “I think I’ll do pretty good, I’ve been working hard and it should be a great experience.”
The floor hockey squad played in a tournament in Abbotsford in January and forward Bob Lattanzio says it was a good warm up for the Winter Games.
“It helped, we lost two and won one, but it was a lot of fun and we learned a lot.”
The veteran player has played on the floor-hockey team for four years, and is excited to compete in his first SOBC Winter Games.

FROM PAGE 11“I am most looking
forward to staying on campus,” he said. “I think we’ll do pretty good, and hopefully win a medal.”
The floor hock-ey team has been going at it hard since November, practicing every Tuesday at the Columbia-Kootenay Learning Centre gym, and playing teams as diverse as a group of media darlings from EZ Rock and the Trail Times, to no-nonsense RCMP and
Fire Fighters, as well as stiff competition from hock-ey teams Trail Smoke E a t e r s , S e l k i r k C o l l e g e S a i n t s , and Beaver V a l l e y Nitehawks.
A d a m Bateman, who turns 31 today, has been playing for three seasons and is all business when it comes to floor hockey and achieving success on the hardwood.
“I think we’ll do pretty good. I went to
Abbotsford with the team, scored a few goals and had some fun but I’m the power for-ward, I have to stand in front of the
net and get the gar-bage.”
The always dynamic Kayleigh Postmus is confident in her team’s abilities and while she is thrilled about the
trip and seeing athletes from all over B.C., her eyes are firmly set on gold when it comes to the Games.
“I’m going to learn a lot of skills there about defence, and hopefully be very com-petitive, and let’s hope we win the gold,” says Postmus. “Our team has to go out there and work hard together as a team - defence, offence, and we have to support Gary our goal-tender. I’m a little bit nervous, but it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

A S S o c i A t e d p r e S SSAN BRUNO, Calif.—Former
Gonzaga outfielder Jason Bay will be inducted in the WCC Hall of Honor as part of the 2015 class, as announced Thursday by the West Coast Conference office.
An outfielder who typically manned centerfield for the Zags, Bay needed just two years to leave his mark on the Gonzaga University record books.
His 35 home runs are still the third-most in school history, and he remains seventh on the all-time batting average list with a career mark of .374.
Bay’s first season in Spokane, his junior year in 1999, remains one of the best seasons at the plate the school has seen. He tallied 74 RBIs that year, at that point the most in school history and still the second-most in one season by a Zag. His 65 runs scored and 20 home runs are both the third-highest marks in a single season as well. He helped Gonzaga win 27 games and finish second in the conference that year, the school’s highest conference fin-ish in the previous 10 years.
After graduation in 2000, Bay went onto have more success in professional baseball than any other Zag. He debuted with the San Diego Padres in May 2003 then went onto win National League Rookie of the Year in 2004 with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Bay was named to the Major League All-Star Game three times, twice with the Pirates and once with the Boston Red Sox. In total, he amassed 1,200 hits and 222 home runs in the Major Leagues, more than any other Gonzaga alum.
The native of Trail, British Columbia, will be inducted into the WCC Hall of Honor on Saturday, March 7, at the WCC Hall of Honor Brunch in Las Vegas, Nev. The class of 2015 will also be honored during a halftime ceremony during one of the WCC Basketball Tournament games that weekend.
Joining Bay in the Class of 2015 is BYU’s Aleisha Cramer Rose (Soccer), Loyola Marymount’s Rick Adelman (Basketbal l ) , Pacific’s Elaina Oden (Volleyball), P e p p e r d i n e ’s D a n e Suttle (Basketball), Portland’s Jim Sollars (Basketball), Saint Mary’s Odell Johnson (Basketball), San Diego’s Scott Thompson (Basketball), San Francisco’s Jim Brovelli (Basketball) and Santa Clara’s Bud Ogden (Basketball).
“The West Coast Conference con-tinues to be recognized for the great success of its athletics programs and achievements of its student-athletes, coaches and administra-tors,” said West Coast Conference Commissioner Lynn Holzman. “The 10 inductees in the 2015 Hall of Honor class have brought sig-nificant honor to themselves, their institutions and to the Conference. We are truly humbled to have this opportunity to salute their accom-plishments.”
Bay is the first member of the Bulldogs’ baseball team to enter the WCC Hall of Honor. He joins GU basketball greats Frank Burgess, Jeff Brown, Blake Stepp and Dan Dickau, former men’s soccer player Brian Ching, and former volleyball star Kelley Cunningham Spink as Zags in the conference Hall.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - A coalition of tobacco-control
advocates is calling on the Ontario Film Review Board to toughen its rating for films that contain smoking-related scenes to keep young people from taking up the addictive habit.
The group wants the OFRB to designate any new movie that contains tobacco use as 18A, which would require anyone under age 18 to be accompanied by an adult. In the Maritimes and Manitoba, an 18A rating also means children under 14 are prohibited from viewing the film.
“In Ontario, 90 per cent of the top-grossing movies are all rated for children and teens,” said Lorraine Fry, executive director of the Non-Smokers’ Rights Association.
Movies now in theatres that contain smoking include “Paddington” (OFRB-rated G - suitable for all ages), “The Imitation Game” (PG - parental guidance), “Taken 3” and “Mortdecai” (both 14A - suitable for age 14 and up).
“This is one of the last forms of media where tobacco use can actually be shown to kids,” said Fry, noting Canada has banned tobacco advertis-ing and promotion.

Leisure
Dear Annie: My fiance and I have been together for three years. “Justin” shares cus-tody of his 13-year-old daughter, “Chrissie.”
The problem is, Chrissie will not sleep in her own bed. Until recently, she used to sleep on the floor in our room, but two months ago, Justin started sleeping in her bed. I couldn’t take it, so I went back to live at my place. Now that I am no longer in Justin’s house, Chrissie sleeps with him in his bed. This bothers me.
Justin and his ex-wife tried sending Chrissie for therapy, but she told them it wasn’t work-ing, so they stopped. We have discussed this, but he continues to allow her in his bed. He doesn’t believe there is anything wrong with it and also says he doesn’t know what else to do. Chrissie is quite manip-ulative, conniving and sly. Even her hugs are fake. She is obviously competing with me for
her father’s attention. I feel guilty not lik-
ing this girl. I under-stand that divorce is hard on children, but this is ridiculous. -- Soon-To-Be Stepmom
Dear Soon: Chrissie may be manipulat-ing her parents out of insecurity and because she can get away with it. But her parents are the real problem. They are allowing Chrissie to control the family dynamic. This is ter-ribly unfair to every-one, but especially to Chrissie. She desper-ately needs her par-ents to be in charge, and instead, they have given her the reins. All of them should be in family counsel-
ing together so that Chrissie cannot claim it’s “not working,” and so that Justin and his ex understand how much effort and consistency are required for their daughter’s sake. If you intend to marry Justin, insist on this.
Dear Annie: I read your answer to “ G r a n d m a - To - B e ” regarding a baby show-er for a child born of a surrogate. Why did you say, “Of course, it is better if the shower is given by friends and not immediate family”? I thought baby show-ers were supposed to be given by the aunts. Has this changed?
Also, what about “sprinkles” -- those baby showers for sec-ond and third kids? This is a very sore subject for those of us who have been on the receiving end of the invitations. Unless there are several years between babies, or the new baby is from a different marriage, it is asking too much of friends and family.
Today’s generation thinks nothing of ask-ing people to dish out money over and over. What a greedy world we have become. -- Also a Grandma-To-Be
Dear Also: Baby showers (also bridal showers) generally should not be given by immediate fam-ily members, because they, too, benefit from others giving gifts. Hosting it then seems self-serving. (There are exceptions to this rule.) Aunts, cousins, sisters-in-law, etc., however, are not immediate fam-ily and, of course, can host showers.
“Sprinkles” are fine if there is a big age gap and the new baby has fewer hand-me-downs, or if the couple has moved to a new city. Otherwise, they are OK only for close family and extremely close friends, or for those who didn’t attend a previous shower. As you said, it is unkind to keep burdening the same people with gift-
giving over and over.Dear Annie: In my
70 years of living in New Orleans, I’ve been called honey, sweetie, sugar and baby by clerks and waitresses, always with a helpful air of appreciation and never in a condescend-ing way. Maybe it’s a
southern thing, but I like it. Why would I be rude to someone who is focused on helping me? I hope that charm never goes away. -- Happy in NOLA

Parents are step-daughter’s real problem
Leisure
For Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It’s been interesting run-ning into old friends and faces from your past. If you can, use this to your advan-tage, because someone from your past could make a dif-ference in your future. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Recently it has been difficult to get the endorse-ment and approval you want from authority figures. Fortunately, this difficulty will now diminish. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Difficulties and delays with travel plans are now a thing of the past. This also applies to publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Whew! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Hopefully, you have recently wrapped up loose ends about inheritances, shared property, taxes and
debt. Starting today, you have new ideas about what to expect in these areas. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Many of you have recently come in contact with ex-partners and old friends from your past. Use what you have learned to make more meaningful plans for your future. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Delays, difficulties and silly errors on the job will now begin to dimin-ish. Thank heavens! Many aspects of your job will become easier for you to handle. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Vacation plans and efforts to organize social occasions and anything to do with sports will now go forward more smoothly. Whatever was holding you back is now a thing of the past. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Family businesses and
family discussions about future events will be more productive now. Without question, the past month has been plagued with delays and silly errors! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your daily routine will become much better. Transportation delays, silly errors and communication mix-ups will now fade away. That’s why you will feel more confident in every-
thing you do. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Financial delays and checks that are late in the mail will be less frequent from today onward. You can be confident that financial matters will come together more efficiently. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) In the past month, you have been plagued with silly errors, lost papers, confused
messages and transporta-tion delays. Starting today, your life will get so much better! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You will feel a greater sense of freedom starting today, because something murky in the background felt like it was holding you back. It was hard to identify, but it was there. YOU BORN TODAY You are an idealist who wants
to improve society and the lives of those around you. You like to help the physi-cal well-being of others. You will face a major deci-sion this year. Save your money in the first half of the year, because this will help you later in the year. Your integrity and patience will be tested. Birthdate of: Damian Lewis, actor; Sheryl Crow, musician; Kelly Rowland, singer.
