City staff will be given carte blanche to help advance Trail’s downtown revitalization vision, cutting municipal politicians out of the process.
City council gave third reading to a Downtown Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw that will not only exempt both land and building improve-ments from further taxation, but streamline the process for those who undertake the work.
Although it now awaits adoption, the new bylaw will make the renovation and construction process as it relates to the downtown—identi-
fied as the Gulch, East Trail and downtown commercial areas—as timely as possible for private property owners, said city cor-porate administrator Michelle MacIsaac.
“Not only (will this occur) on the build-ing permitting side, but on the agreements that are necessary as part of this revitaliza-tion exemption bylaw. Those authorities will
be dealt with by city staff, rather than having to bring back any ancillary agreement to council for review and approval,” she said.
“As long as everything is fully compliant with the bylaw, then staff has the authority to enter into any necessary agreement.”
For building permit fees for eligible proper-ties there will be a 50 per cent reduction, and any permits would also become priority process-ing at City Hall. Council decided last week that both land and building value increases would be tax exempt “to be most competitive.” It was to be of greatest advantage to developers of new con-struction, said MacIsaac, that the bylaw would also exempt any increases in land values.
“We are moving absolutely in the right dir-ection,” said city councillor Kevin Jolly, the former chair of the Downtown Action and Planning Committee, who helped create the city’s Downtown Action Plan.
City staff has had discussion with regional building department on the matter of the pro-cess and have received approval to fast track the permits.

The dream of building a skate park in Trail is rolling along.
On Saturday, at the old Liquidation World in down-town Trail, almost 150 people of all ages, gathered to sup-port the Trail SkatePark pro-ject.
The event, sponsored by the Kootenay Skateboard Series, featured various rails and jumps that were set up for avid all-wheelers to show-case their talent.
“I’m happy that so many people showed up today,” said Ashley Escott, youth chair for the SkatePark com-mittee.
“And it was nice to see that it wasn’t just skateboarders.”
Scott Daniels, rotary chair for the SkatePark committee and emcee for the event, was please to see so many chil-dren turn up with parents in tow.
“We are hoping that busi-nesses will see how much of the community has gotten behind us for an event like this,” said Daniels.
“And they will want to step forward to be a part of this signature project.”
A highlight of the event was the unveiling of the new skate park logo.
St,. Michael’s student and artist, Clarice Tuai, designed the winning look.
“I first heard about the contest from my teacher and it took about two days to draw,” said the Grade 6 stu-dent. “I was so surprised, and happy to win.”
Tuai was awarded an iPod touch, courtesy of AM Ford, and her logo will be used to brand and represent the Trail all-wheel park.

FROM PAGE 1The building permit fee amendment was
given third reading as well by city council and awaits final approval tonight.
The rest of the legal bricks for the foun-dation of a revitalized downtown Trail are nearly in place and await adoption as law. Mortar is drying on third reading of the tax exemption bylaw to exempt downtown busi-ness owners who endeavour to improve the look of their structures from paying more taxes.
The idea of the bylaw is to encourage re-investment by the private property owners in their properties in the downtown, said Jolly.
Once it is adopted in fourth reading, the bylaw would allow tax exemptions from 100 per cent in the first six years, and progres-sively smaller breaks over the years until full taxation is implemented in the 11th year.
Mayor Dieter Bogs said tax increases fol-lowing improvements to a building were often a deterrent for many owners in the past.
Bylaw to encourage property upgrades
FROM PAGE 1“Clarice’s design was
simple and gender neutral,” said Liz Johnston, SkatePark committee member.
“And it shows more than just skateboarding.”
When the weather gets warmer, the SkatePark com-mittee is planning to host
more skateboard jams to keep the spotlight on the project.
“We would like to have an event just like this, but on site at the park’s location,” said Daniels.
The committee has a sign, “site of future SkatePark”, in the works to bring aware-
ness and vision to the Rossland Avenue locale.
The all-wheel skate park will have 18 features, and the top sponsors will have a feature named after their business, said Daniels.
The SkatePark committee has raised $288,400, which includes the $275,000 that
the City of Trail committed to paying.
The total cost of the 8,000-square-foot all wheel terrain park is approximate-ly $550,000.

Council watchers got a preview of how heated debate around the downtown dog bylaw will be when the issue comes up for discussion next month.
As a formality at last week’s regular coun-cil meeting, Councillor Deb Kozak presented notice of a motion that will be referred to the March committee of the whole meeting to discuss temporarily lifting the ban on dogs on Baker Street for a trial period from May 1 to October 31.
Before Mayor John Dooley had even read Kozak’s proposed motion, Councillor Robin Cherbo cut in to ask city staff if a notice of motion could be defeated.
Staff clarified that councillors would have a chance to vote on whether or not to refer the motion, but noted that voting in favour of referring the item doesn’t mean a councillor supports the motion — only that they are will-ing to discuss it further.
Evidently, Cherbo wasn’t in favour of even having the discussion. He opposed the motion, then demanded a recount after three council-lors voted in favour — Kozak, Candace Batycki and Paula Kiss. With councillor Bob Adams absent and Donna Macdonald abstaining (she preferred the discussion be held at a public forum or special meeting, rather than com-mittee of the whole), the motion passed 3-1. Cherbo asked that his opposition be noted in the minutes.
The motion will come back to the March 4 committee of the whole meeting for discussion.

Rossland residents once again had a chance for input on the direction of sustain-ability in this city.
The Ross l and Sustainability Commission has pursued initiative to bring many different aspects of Rossland to the forefront of sustainability.
Ann Damude, manager of the Rossland Sustainability Commission, said the com-mission was asking questions it hoped would spur on ideas to what is important to the community.
“Basically, we asked two simple questions,” Damude said. “One was, what current sustainability initiatives are working? And the other was, what should we do next?”
That, said Damude, is what they really hope to find an answer for.
The initial survey was through the Thought Stream process online, and 93 resi-dents gave their feedback.
Damude said the 93 people who answered the survey was a great response, as that is a 20 per cent uptake of the people they sent it out to initially.
Last week, the commission held the second of itsinput sessions at the old BMO building downtown. The first one was two weeks ago at the Rossland Legion hall.
“With the meetings, we were trying to reach the people who didn’t have an opportunity in the Thought Stream process, or prefer to do face-to-face meetings,” she said.
Governance and school closures were top issues at the meetings, and concerns from residents on the sus-tainability of Rossland cen-tred on those.
“There are some things that aren’t going to be a sur-prise to the public, so one of the things that people are saying drives sustainability in Rossland is K-12,” she said.
“The other is governance. People’s ideas how to address both schools and governance are quite different.”
The Visions to Action plan, which the commission is a part of, was first put together through a public input pro-cess from 2006-08.
It took in ideas from the community, and set some precedence not only for Rossland, but the whole area.

Millionaire lottery winner Bob Erb is backing a campaign to legalize marijuana with hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own money.
He spent more than $56,000 two weekends ago hosting a pot legalization conference at the Skeena Landing complex and is now focusing efforts on a national public relations campaign.
As well, Erb is backing a move by provincial pot activist Dana Larsen to have enough people sign a petition to then hold a referendum.
If passed, the referendum would have the provincial government of the day amend the provincial Police Act to stop the police from taking any action, including searches, seizures, citations or arrests, in cases of simple cannabis possession by adults.
Erb brought in nearly 20 pot advocates from across the country who were joined by a simi-lar number of local people. He paid for air-
fare, accommodations, and refreshments for the weekend.
“What I told them [Feb. 3] is that I’ve done the easiest part, writing out cheques for $300,000. Now you have the hard part of doing the work,” said Erb.
“What I said was that I was the lucky SOB that won the $25 million. And I know that any of you, if you had won, would be doing the same as me right now.”
“What we will have now is a unified voice and standard right across the country.”
Every group represented received $10,000 for publicity, which includes updating their web-sites, said Erb.
Four of the groups – NORML Women’s Alliance of Canada, Calm Compassion Club of Toronto, the Herb Museum of Vancouver and Calgary 420 – formed a national organization named 420 and received $100,000 to organize events.
Four-twenty is an expression people have been using since the ‘70s and ‘80s to refer to going out to smoke a joint, said Erb.
It’s spawned large public smoke-ins on April 20 of each year.
T-shirts, literature, refreshments and tents will be provided at each event.
And any marketing and items for sale will have the name “Erb for Herb,” said Erb.
“Any money from Erb for Herb branding, any net income will 100 per cent go back into the legalization movement,” he said.
Erb is planning another conference here later this year, which will likely coincide with the launch of Larsen’s petition under the name of his Sensible BC organization.
“When I was smoking with Dana, I said ‘before Bob Erb won $25 million, what was your dream number you figured you needed monetary-wise to run an effective campaign?’” said Erb.
“He said ‘my dream number is $400,000 to $500,000.’ I said ‘let’s use $500,000 as your ideal to make it run successfully, to cover all the bases.’
“My next question was ‘how much did you think realistically you could’ve raised for this campaign?’”
The amount Larsen came up with was about $150,000, said Erb, adding he had earlier guar-anteed Larsen at least $100,000 minimum from him, then upped the minimum he’d give to $250,000 for the campaign.
t H e C a N a D i a N p r e S SVICTORIA - Premier
Christy Clark’s Liberal government returns to the legislature this week poised to lay to rest the three-year-plus HST nightmare before hitting the campaign trail seeking a fourth consecutive term in office.
Legislation that finally kills the har-monized sales tax and returns British Columbia to the prov-incial sales tax on April 1 is set for introduc-tion in the first week of what is expected to be a legislative session lasting five weeks at most.
British Columbians go to the polls on May 14, with April 16 being the official campaign start date.
But Tuesday’s throne speech at the legislature is expected to set the political tone for the weeks leading to the campaign, with Liberals outlining their family-and-jobs-focused agenda, fol-lowed by their budget on Feb. 19.
“There’s an element of that (politicking),” said Liberal House Leader Mike de Jong, who is also the finance minister. “This is an opportunity for the government via the
throne speech, budget and legislation to lay out its vision.”
He said the weeks set aside for the legis-lative session will see the Liberals introduce the PST legislation, followed by legislation to create a new sen-iors advocate position, approve a process to elect B.C.’s next sen-ator and amend some of the rules and regu-lations surrounding the auditor general, which include intro-ducing one eight-year term as opposed to the current six-year term, with eligibility for a second six-year reappointment.
“There are some other pieces that will reveal themselves both in the throne speech and the budget,” said de Jong. “The gov-ernment clearly has an agenda designed around jobs and fam-ilies and there will be legislation associated with that.”
He said he expects the legislature to sit until mid-March.
Last year, Clark appointed retiring Liberal MLA John Les to examine the likeli-hood of B.C. holding elections to find the candidate the province wants officially nomin-ated for the Senate in
Ottawa.O p p o s i t i o n
House Leader John Horgan said the New Democrats, who opposed the HST, will review the PST law and possibly suggest amendments, but at this point are likely to support it in the legis-lature.
But he did sug-gest the government’s Senate initiative is in for a rough ride from the NDP.
“That may be inter-esting in rural Alberta, but there’s not a lot of appetite for that in B.C.,” said Horgan. “People are not clam-ouring in my office demanding to have a vote to send a name that might be selected for an undemocratic institution.”
The expected legis-lation creating a sen-ior’s advocate pos-ition comes after the Liberal government promised to create the post following an in-depth Ombudsperson’s review of seniors issues that included more than 175 recom-mendations.
Clark also promised last month to amend legislation surround-ing the auditor general following the political turmoil resulting from an all-party commit-tee’s attempts to find a replacement for cur-rent Auditor General John Doyle.

t H e C a N a D i a N p r e S SWestJet Airlines is boost-
ing its base in Western Canada by launching its Encore regional service in June to British Columbia’s energy region using the airline’s first Bombardier turboprops.
The airline will begin with daily flights between Fort St. John, B.C. and Vancouver, and Fort St. John and Calgary with the first two 78-seat Q400 turboprops it receives.
Additional routes will be added as it takes delivery of five more planes by the end of the year.
WestJet (TSX:WJA) says lower-cost Encore will reduce fares by up to 50 per cent. The introductory fare on the routes are $109 plus taxes, or up to $172.
The airline has firm orders
for 20 Q400s and options for 25 more planes over the next six years.
The head of the new air-line called the launch a “his-toric moment.”
“As Canada’s low-fare leader, we look forward to introducing our award-win-ning guest experience to Canadians in smaller com-munities while connecting to our network of 85 destina-tions in 18 countries,” said Ferio Pugliese, who is also an executive vice-president of WestJet.
WestJet said Fort St. John, the so-called Energetic City, creates a strong foundation for the new service as a cen-tre for northeastern B.C.’s diverse economic base of oil, natural gas, forestry and agri-culture.
Mayor Lori Ackerman said the municipality welcomes the additional air travel choices and connections to strategic cities in Western Canada that will be opened up with WestJet Encore.
“This announcement is another key indication of the vibrant and healthy invest-ment environment in Fort St John,” she stated.
The Calgary-based car-rier is facing increased com-petition from Air Canada, which recently announced increased frequencies in Western Canada with its own fleet of Bombardier Q400s, operated by Jazz.
After increasing its region-al service in the west, WestJet plans to introduce Encore to eastern Canada in about nine to 12 months.

***NAGEL, SOLVEIG HJORDIS (“SO”)
– Mom passed away peacefully, with family by her side, at Kootenay Bound-ary Hospital on Feb 4, 2013.
Mom was born in Lillihammer,Norway on August 12, 1926 to Marie and Mathias Rus-ten. At the age of five, she travelled by ship with her mother and older brother, Egil to Canada to meet with her father, who had settled in Trail, BC, to work at the big smelter on the hill (CM&S).
Her family lived in East Trail for many years and Mom always talked about being an “East Trail alley kid”. We heard many stories about her and her friends skating on the boom, play-ing kick the can, swimming the rapids and jumping off rocks at Sandy Island.
After graduating from high school, Mom moved to Vancouver, where she studied to be a nurse and then worked at the Riverview Hospital (Essondale). On a trip back home, she met the love of her life, Carl, at a dance at the KP Hall. They both loved to dance. They were married on July 24, 1947 and built a home on Shaver’s Bench where they raised their two daughters, Valerie and Karenne She remained in the home Dad built until her passing.
Mom enjoyed the simple things in life. She enjoyed music, dancing, travelling with Dad, and went on many excursions in their truck and camper where she would bring home rocks for her collection. She was a great home-maker (cooking, sewing, knitting, cro-cheting) and avid gardener, inside and outside. She had over 100 houseplants that she tended to.
Her grandchildren and great-grand-children were the love of her life and she had a unique relationship with all of them. Nana taught them how to speak small “Norwegian” phrases which they will always remember.
Solveig is survived by her daughters Valerie Austad and Karenne Johnson; Grandchildren: Corey Austad, Brad Johnson, Amber (Bruce Endersby) Erin (Ken Matieshen), and eight great-grandchildren.
She is predeceased by her husband of 61 years, Carl; her parents; her brothers; Egil and Arthur; Sons- in- law, Herb Austad and Carl Johnson.
At Mom’s request, there will be no funeral service.
A private graveside service for her family will be held at Mountain View Cemetary on Tuesday, February 12. A Celebration of Life will take place at a later date. Al Grywacheski of Alterna-tives Funeral Services has been en-trusted with arrangements.
Family and friends may make do-nations to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC, #300 – 828 West 8th Avenue, Van-couver, BC V5Z1E2 as an expression of sympathy. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence on the family’s online register at www.myal-ternatives.ca.
THE BROKEN CHAIN – Mom’s favorite poem
Little did we know that morning that God would call your name
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone
For part of us went with you the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you, you are always on our side.
Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again……..
You’re with your ANGEL, Mom…We will miss you
OBITUARIEST H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S S
VATICAN CITY - Declaring that he lacks the strength to do his job, Pope Benedict XVI announced Monday he will resign Feb. 28 - becoming the first pontiff to step down in 600 years. His decision sets the stage for a mid-March conclave to elect a new leader for a Roman Catholic Church in deep turmoil.
The 85-year-old pope dropped the bomb-shell in Latin during a meeting of Vatican cardinals, surprising even his closest col-laborators even though he had made clear previously that he would step down if he became too old or infirm to carry on.
Benedict called his choice “a decision of great importance for the life of the church.”
Indeed, the move allows the Vatican to hold a conclave before Easter to elect a new pope, since the traditional nine days of mourning that would follow the death of a pope doesn’t have to be observed.
It will also allow Benedict to hold great sway over the choice of his successor, though he will not himself vote. He has already hand-picked the bulk of the College of Cardinals - the princes of the church who will elect the next pope - to guarantee his conservative legacy and ensure an orthodox future for the church.
“Without doubt this is a historic moment,” said Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, a protege and former theology student of Benedict’s who himself is considered a papal contender. “Right now, 1.2 billion Catholics the world over are holding their breath.”
Cardinal Andre Vingt-Trois, the arch-bishop of Paris, called the decision a “liberating act for the future,” saying popes from now on will no longer feel compelled to stay on until their death.
“One could say that in a certain man-ner, Pope Benedict XVI broke a taboo,” he told reporters in Paris.
There are several papal contenders in the wings, but no obvious front-runner - the same situation when Benedict was elected pontiff in 2005 after the death of Pope John Paul II.
The Vatican stressed that no specific medical condition prompted Benedict’s decision, that he remained fully lucid and took his decision independently.
“Any interference or intervention is alien to his style,” Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said.
It has been obvious to all that the pope has slowed down significantly in recent years, cutting back his foreign travel and limiting his audiences. He now goes to and from the altar in St. Peter’s Basilica on a moving platform to spare him the long walk down the aisle. Occasionally he uses a cane.
His 89-year-old brother, Georg Ratzinger, said doctors had recently advised the pope not to take any more trans-Atlantic trips.
“His age is weighing on him,” Ratzinger told the dpa news agency.
Benedict emphasized that carrying out the duties of being pope requires “both strength of mind and body.”
“After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths due to an advanced age are no longer suited”
to the demands of being the pope, he told the cardinals.
“In order to govern the bark (ship) of St. Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary - strengths which in the last few months, have deteriorated in me,” he said.
Popes are allowed to resign but church law says the decision must be “freely made and properly manifested.” Still, only a hand-ful have done it.
The last pope to resign was Pope Gregory XII, who stepped down in 1415 in a deal to end the Great Western Schism, a dis-pute among competing papal claimants. The most famous resignation was Pope Celestine V in 1294; Dante placed him in hell for it.
There are good reasons why others haven’t followed suit, primarily because of the fear of a schism with two living popes. Lombardi sought to rule out such a scen-ario, saying church law makes clear that a resigning pope no longer has the right to govern the church.
“Therefore there is no risk of a conflict,” he told reporters.
On Monday, Benedict said he would serve the church for the remainder of his days “through a life dedicated to prayer.” The Vatican said immediately after his resigna-tion, which takes effect at 8 p.m. Feb. 28, Benedict would go to Castel Gandolfo, the papal summer retreat south of Rome, and then would live in a cloistered monastery.

OPINION
Independent MLAs have a dreamImagine a province
where party leaders are chosen in an independ-ently supervised vote,
with 12-year-olds, dead people and pets prevented from voting.
Imagine a province where roving gangs of influence-seekers aren’t allowed to join multiple parties, and the rule is actually enforced. One where corporations
and unions have to advertise in their own name instead of finan-cing political parties and then disclosing millions in donations months after the election is over.
Imagine a province where elections are held based on audited financial statements, not a collec-tion of election promises that will be dismissed as a work of fiction by the new regime if the incumbent party is defeated.
A cat joined the B.C. Liberal Party to support Christy Clark. Adrian Dix won the NDP leadership with the help of bags of $10 bills stapled to new
memberships. As parties go to online
voting, multiple PIN num-bers may be activated from the same phone number or the same address.
These and other glaring problems with our party-based political system were highlighted last week in a set of reforms pro-posed by three independ-ent MLAs.
Vicki Huntington broke the party choke-hold on B.C. politics by getting elected as an independent in Delta South in 2009.
Bob Simpson was kicked out of the NDP caucus shortly after win-ning re-election for the party in Cariboo North, because he dared to criti-cize then-leader Carole James for a lack of policy specifics.
They were belatedly joined by Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen, who quit the B.C. Liberals in an orchestrated move to the B.C. Conservatives, and then quit that party soon after.
Van Dongen does not
have the credibility of the others to speak on integ-rity, given his self-serving party antics and his ques-tionable decision to hire his fiancée and pay her one and a half salaries to serve as his constituency assistant.
Leaving that aside, there are some good ideas in the independents’ reform package. One is to give backbench MLAs a meaningful role in policy-making.
Simpson gave the example of Prince George
MLA Shirley Bond’s term as education minister, where she had to reverse ministry policies that didn’t make sense in rural school districts.
The all-party standing committee on education could have prevented this error, he said, but it didn’t because it never meets.
The party voting irregularities described above could be addressed by giving Elections BC authority to supervise party leadership votes, the way it does elections and referenda.
There are unknown costs for this, and other problems.
For instance, should the Marijuana Party be subject to this, or the Work Less Party, should either one muster enough organization to stage a leadership contest?
The independents had high hopes for one fun-damental reform, moving B.C.’s set election date from the spring to the fall. This would take a simple amendment.
The idea is for the government to table the annual budget, present the audited public accounts for the previous year, then have an election that rests on tested financial state-ments and initial results for the current forecast.
Both the B.C. Liberal Party and the NDP have expressed support for this idea.
The independents sug-gest that this brief three-week legislative session is a good time to do it, so the next government can implement it.
I asked Mike de Jong, the B.C. Liberal finance minister and house leader, if he would consider it.
He allowed that it is interesting, but it’s not contemplated for the pre-election session.
That will be domin-ated by returning the provincial sales tax, and the usual jousting over untested spending and revenue proposals.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SNEW YORK - While the Grammy Awards
couldn’t come close to the freakishly high ratings generated in 2012 because of Whitney Houston’s death and Adele’s smashing success, this year’s show had the second-largest audience for the program since 1993.
The awards show was seen by 28.4 million people Sunday night. The Grammys far outpaced the Emmys, which had 13.3 million viewers last September , and the Golden Globes, which had 19.7 million viewers in January. The upcoming Oscars usually get more than 30 million viewers.

Rossland and Trail have become two communities so embroiled in animosity that it should come as no surprise that even in Victoria our region is starting to become associated with perennial dysfunction.
The major difference between our feuds over educa-tion versus the dissolution of the regional recreation func-tion and controversies over sewer services is the role of the province.
Here in lies the key to this perennial tension - we are fight-ing the wrong foe. The citizens of Rossland and Trail should be turning our animosity against one another, as fun-neled through SD20, against the province instead.
None of these trustees earn their primary subsistence from their board stipends so, argu-ably, they could follow the lead of the Cowichan Valley School District and stand up.
After all, your true mandate is to act in our children’s best interest.
If I walked away with one main sentiment from my COOP employment this summer, within the executive branch of the provincial government, it is that passivity does not neces-sarily engender respect. Respect is earned. As I near the close of
my degree at the University of Victoria, I have been lucky enough to be able to take a class with former Minister of Education George Abbott. As a result of these lectures and further discussion, I have come to the conclusion that Victoria is not adverse to progressive leadership on the local level that embraces new visions of service provision. RSS is at the forefront of embracing the next generation of curriculum being rolled out.
The school’s digitally assist-ed personal learning and acad-emy model is innovative and exactly what the ministry hopes will allow us to rise to the very top of educational performance in the world.
If our region is to embrace a movement for reconciliation of our grievances, we must acknowledge that education and the children at the heart of the debate are not the appropri-ate pawns to be used for merely political ends.
Rather, we have the oppor-tunity to come together and innovate over a policy area that has, due to negligence on the provincial level, driven us apart. Let us not give in to petty war-fare between one another; but rather, let us turn the tide and become notable for recognizing
that education is at the heart of vibrant communities.
The West Kootenay is lucky to be in the midst of a demo-graphic upswing. Let us not arrest this growth, mid path, to settle political scores from a previous era.
The City of Rossland and its citizens have been proactive in embracing ownership of our children’s education. We have offered cash up front to help aid in the temporary funding shortfalls.
Perhaps this spring govern-ments will change and so to modest adjustments in funding formulas may occur. If there is ever a time to stall and drag out any draconian decisions it is now. To veto the K-12 option in one sweep, when short term funding is being offered to allow for a longer-range discus-sion to occur on service sharing and community integration, is simply ridiculous. If anything, Victoria looks favorably on innovation.
Closing or downsizing RSS will not be as easy a process as the board may hope. The cur-rent minister, Don McRae, no doubt will become well versed in the situation. Perhaps we can paint a positive picture?

Region should direct animosity at province, not each other
An editorial from the Kamloops Daily News
When Prime Minister Stephen Harper heard about allegations against Senator Patrick Brazeau, he did the right thing - dump him from caucus.
Now he needs to take the next logical step and either make the Senate a meaning-ful institution or get rid of it altogether.
Brazeau’s appointment was controversial from the start. He was a mere 34 years old in 2008 when called to the Red Chamber - giving him a lifetime of six-figure salary followed by a gold-plated pension.
And the only thing he’s really required to do is show up for work occasionally.
House Leader Peter Van Loan made note of Brazeau’s links to
aboriginal groups when he was appointed, as if that were justi-fication. But if anything he’s made a hash of them. In fact, some of his own band members have denounced him:
“We are working very hard at the community and nation level to bring about meaningful and accountable changes but Sen. Brazeau’s dismissive and con-descending statements leave no room for meaningful dialogue,” said Chief Gilbert Whiteduck said in a news release earlier this week.
On top of that, a Senate board of internal economy is asking an external auditor to review Brazeau’s residency dec-larations and expenses.
Now he faces charges of assault and sexual assault.
Ordinarily, politicians could never survive this kind of scan-
dal. Voters would turf them out at their first opportunity.
But Brazeau isn’t going any-where. He intends to remain in the Senate as an independent, even though Senate rules say a senator facing charges is usu-ally put on leave. He could still collect his $132,000 annual sal-ary and attend sessions.
This case is a vivid reminder that the biggest problem with the Senate is a lack of account-ability. Unfortunately, it seems that Harper’s only interest at this point is to distance himself and the Conservatives from the mess.
But he has to stop dithering and do more. At the very least, senators should have to face the electorate on a regular basis. And if that can’t be, then let’s get rid of the Senate once and for all.
Time to reform the senate

When the shooting at Sandy Hook ele-mentary school took the lives of 26 people late last year, one local couple couldn’t help but think of their three grandchildren.
Like many, Lee and Carol Rushton held the little ones in their lives close and counted themselves lucky as they watched the news unfold on December
14.“It was shocking,
absolutely shock-ing. I have a six-year-old grandchild living next door, and I just couldn’t imagine,” says Carol.
But their response didn’t end there.
The couple, who lives on the North Shore, made a bird-house to give to their daughter for Christmas. That bird-house inspired another
project both creative and cathartic.
“Carol got the idea — wouldn’t it be nice to do this for those people,” said Lee.
With connections to the memorial com-mittee in Newtown established and cedar donated by Gordie Fitchett of Queens Bay, “we started cutting,” said Lee.
And the retired couple started building 26 birdhouses to send to the Connecticut community as a memorial to the vic-tims.
Made of Kootenay wood, warm in colour and rich in grain, the houses are beautiful in their simplicity.
“These aren’t elab-orate but they’re nicely done,” says Lee.
Finishing touches are what make them special with every vic-
tim’s name carved and a butterfly attached to the front.
“Butterflies are free — that’s an old say-ing,” says Lee.
Adds Carol, “Butterflies are also a new beginning.”
As Carol carved each victim’s name on the birdhouse,
she couldn’t help but become more connect-ed to the children who lost their lives.
“As I do each one, I look at their names — Ben, Caroline… and I wonder,” she says. “I really feel for those parents.”
Carol finds happi-ness in her garden with
a green thumb and craftiness; she enjoys the practice of feeding birds coming to her own birdhouse. She doesn’t know how the birdhouses will end up being hung but should the Newtown families keep them in their own yards, tending to the birds could provide a healing ritual, she says.
Started the first week of January, the memorial is almost done and ready to be shipped — for free, a testament to the gen-eral feeling of sorrow the shooting caused.
“Obviously everyone feels the same way we do,” says Lee.
Having never done something like this before, their home has been a workshop for the past few weeks with their dining room table doubling as a work-bench. Puttering away has been a constructive experience.
“It’s just something we thought would be nice,” says Lee. “All it’s cost us is time and we’ve got plenty of that.”
Nelson couple’s birdhouses serve as memorial to victims

B Y T I M E S S T A F FThe Beaver Valley Nitehawks
chances to win the Neil Murdoch division were doused on the weekend as the Hawks dropped a pair of games to the division champion Castlegar Rebels.
Following 4-2 and 2-0 wins over the Nitehawks Friday and Saturday, the Rebels clinched the title with a 10-4 humbling of the Grand Forks Border Bruins Sunday.
The Rebels now enjoy a six-point lead over Nelson and Beaver Valley who are tied for second spot with two games remaining in the Neil Murdoch division.
The Leafs also dropped its two games on the weekend, a 5-4 overtime loss to the Revelstoke Grizzlies and a 5-2 setback to the Sicamous Eagles Friday.
The Leafs close out the sea-son with a home-and-home against Castlegar this week-end, while the Nitehawks face Spokane in its final home-and-home series.
Connor Beauchamp was the game’s first star on Saturday in Fruitvale, with a brilliant 44 save performance and his sixth shut out en route to the
2-0 win.Jamie Vlanich scored the
winning goal on a power play with 2:17 to go in the first per-iod, while Stuart Walton added the insurance marker with just over 12 minutes remaining in the game.
After a holding call to Nitehawk defenceman Arie Postmus, the Rebels wasted no time, as Hunter Jenerou sent a nice cross-ice pass to Vlanich who potted his 18th goal of the season for th 1-0 lead.
Despite nine power-play opportunities, including a 5-on-3 midway through the second frame, the Hawks potent offence could not solve Beauchamp.
The spirited matchup saw 94 minutes of penalties issued, including two misconducts late in the game to Vlanich and Walton.
Jarrod Schamerhorn took the loss in the B.V. Net, stop-ping 25 of 27 shots on the night, good for second-star honours.
In Friday’s game, it was scoreless until a quick pair of goals by the Rebels’ Quinn Klimchuk and Walton made it 2-0 going into the second.
Taylor Stafford got the
NiteHawks on the board early, only to see the two-goal bulge restored by Walton again at 17:21. Travis Wellman would close out the scoring with about two minutes to go in the second. Nick Perez found his range with a third per-iod marker to bring his group within a pair, but that’s as close as they’d get.
Shots on goal were even at 30 apiece with Jordan Gluck getting the win in net for the Rebels, and Zach Perehudoff taking the loss. The visitors went 0 for 6 with the man advantage while the hosts were 1 for 4.
The final two games will count for something, as the Leafs and Hawks vie for home-ice advantage in their inevit-able opening round playoff ser-ies. The Rebels will host the fourth-place Spokane Braves in the first round of the Neil Murdoch division playoffs.
Hawks Notes: The Nitehawks leading scorer Dallas Calvin scored his first goal in the BCHL as he AP’d for the Vernon Vipers Sunday in a 3-2 win over Victoria Grizzlies.
Calvin scored on a 5-on-3 power play, to put the Vipes up 1-0.
B Y T I M E S S T A F FDespite an 8-1 loss to Alberni Valley Bulldogs
Friday, the Trail Smoke Eaters remain in the hunt for a playoff spot as they visit Westside tonight to take on the West Kelowna Warriors.
Thanks to a pair of Salmon Arm losses - 5-2 to the Warriors Friday, and 6-3 to Victoria Saturday - the Smokies can still claim a playoff spot, but time is running out.
The SilverBacks are just four points ahead of Trail, who with seven games remaining in their BCHL regular season, play the Warriors tonight followed by lowly Cowichan Valley Capitals on Friday, and Merritt the following Thursday.
Wins are imperative at this juncture, particu-larly the next three meetings, as the Smokies
finish off the season with a four game series against Interior division leading Penticton Vees.
The Warriors are led by Marcus Basara and Seb Lloyd with 58 and 55 points respectively, while the pesky 20-year-old Max French is a per-ennial irritation to opposing goalies.
Clarkson University commit Tyler Briggs will likely get the start in goal. Briggs has started all but three games for the Warriors this season, posting a 2.49 goals-against-average, and a stun-ning .922 saver percentage.
Adam Todd will be back with the Smoke Eaters for tonight’s game after a stint with Everett of the Western Hockey League on the weekend. Trail hosts Cowichan on Friday at the Cominco Arena at 7:30 p.m.
B Y J I M B A I L E YTimes Sports EditorGreater Trail has
come to depend upon a select group of vol-unteers over the years, and often leading the charges is the Trail Kiwanis Club’s 2011 Sportsperson of the Year - Keith Smyth.
Smyth was one of 10 Greater Trail recipi-ents to be awarded the B.C. Sports Hero award a year ago from Sports B.C., but the Kiwanis award is spe-cial says the former school administrator.
“It’s an honour of course,” said Smyth. “I went down to the mezzanine floor of the arena (Trail Memorial Centre) the other day and looked at all the names of the people there, and said, ‘Holy cow I don’t think I’m in this group.’ It’s a great program the Kiwanis has developed.”
A retired principal, Smyth’s experience was a perfect fit for his most recent role as vice president and director of administration for the 2011 B.C. Seniors Games, but it all began back in the ‘80s when colleague and mentor Terry Demchuk asked Smyth to get involved.
Smyth began coach-ing Little League, and eventually became president of Trail’s bid committee to acquire the 1987 Canadian Little League cham-pionship.
Through Little League, Smyth developed a friendship with Kootenay Savings CEO Doug Stanley and from there it snow-balled.
He was asked to be operations manager
for the 1995 Babe Ruth World Series, then president for the ‘96 Trail-Castlegar B.C. Summer Games, the ‘06 Greater Trail B.C. Winter Games, and he completed the trifecta as the Seniors Games vice president in 2011.
“As a school admin-istrator, you have cer-tain skills there with scheduling and all that, so I got my train-ing there, and secondly I always had this feel-ing that because being a public employee, a public servant, and being paid through the taxpayers, I always wanted to give some-thing back to the com-munity,” said Smyth.
Indeed, the former MacLean Elementary School principal’s skill set transcends sport, as he was also oper-ations manager for the Trail Centennial Celebration, an organ-izer for the Colombo Park Project, the White Garden Project, and the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital Heliport pro-ject.
“I was kind of immersed in it through these men-tor-friendships, but it got the whole thing going,” said Smyth.
His dedication to
each challenge has made Smyth a popular choice for any major undertaking in Greater Trail, but for him, the success of any pro-ject or event has to be attributed to the number and quality of volunteers assembled, and the community that supports it.
“When you work on these big things, the first step you do is put together a team, and those teams have to be at the highest level of your community whether it be transpor-tation, or security, or protocal or whatever, so you approach some very, very talented people and you work with a very talented team,” he said.
“I enjoy that very much and of course, the second is the vol-unteer aspect. You are working with people that have such a great interest in their com-munity and they are there for the best of reasons.”
Smyth, an avid curl-er, will be at the Trail Curling Club help-ing out with the B.C. Senior Curling cham-pionship this week, in the unique role of volunteer rather than organizer.
Join the Trail Kiwanis Club at the Riverbelle Saturday, for the Sportsperson of the Year banquet hon-ouring the 2010, 2011, and 2012 honourees.
Tickets can be pur-chased at the Trail Coffee Company, The Doorway in Trail, and from any Kiwanis member. Call Peter Thiessen at 368-3581 for tickets or for more information.

Brown’s team of 17-year-olds third Erin Pincott, second Sam Fisher and lead Sydney Fraser - will represent Canada later this month at the world juniors in Sochi, Russia.
It was B.C.’s first gold medal at the tournament since 1987 when Julie Sutton won her second straight
with a victory in Prince Albert, Sask.“It feels incredible,” said Brown.
“It hasn’t really sunk in too much right now. But it’s just unbeliev-able. Going to Russia is going to be incredible, and having the Maple Leaf on our back is going to be even better. I could not be more proud of these girls.”
It was a tight first five ends, with B.C. taking a 1-0 lead with a single point in the fourth when Brown made an open hit while looking at three Manitoba counters.

T h e C a n a d i a n P r e s sEDMONTON-- A
cross-country day of provincial finals has nearly completed the field for the 2013 Tim Hortons Brier, which begins Mar. 2 at Rexall Place in Edmonton.
Seven finals were staged on Sunday to fill out a field that already included 2006 champion Jean-Michel Ménard of Quebec (St-Romuald), Jamie Koe of the Northwest Territories/Yukon (Yellowknife), James Grattan of New Brunswick (Oromocto) and Saskatchewan’s Brock Virtue (Regina).
The winners and losers on Sunday included some of the biggest names in the sport.
In Parksville, Andrew Bilesky of the Royal City club in New Westminster earned his first Brier Purple Heart, beating former Brier and world cham-pion Brent Pierce, also of New Westminster, 7-4.
Bilesky beat Kootenay qualifier Tom Buchy rink 8-3 in the first game of the Page Playoff, before rolling to identical 7-4
wins over the Sean Geall rink in the semi-final and Pierce in Sunday’s final.
Pierce beat Castlegar’s Deane Horning rink 9-5 Thursday evening to send Horning to the C event where he would thump the Joanisse rink 10-2, before being eliminated by Royal City’s Jay Wakefield rink in an agonizing 5-4 loss on Friday.
The home team at the Brier will be Edmonton’s Kevin Martin, who, along with his Saville Sports Centre four-some, won his record 12th Alberta cham-pionship on Sunday, beating defending champion Kevin Koe of the Glencoe Club in Calgary 5-4 in the final at Leduc.
Martin will attempt to be the first play-er to skip five Brier champions; he cur-rently shares the rec-ord of four with fellow Albertan Randy Ferbey and Saskatchewan’s Ernie Richardson.
He will also try to be the first player to skip Brier champions in three different dec-ades.
M e a n w h i l e ,
defending Tim Hortons Brier and world champion Glenn Howard from the Coldwater and District Curling Club captured his eighth consecutive Ontario championship by beat-ing Joe Frans’s team from the Bradford Curling Club 7-5.
Howard will be bidding for his fifth Brier title in his 15th appearance, which breaks the record for most appearances at the Brier that he had shared with his broth-er Russ.
In Manitoba, two-time world champion Jeff Stoughton won his 10th trip to the Brier. Stoughton’s team from the Charleswood Club in Winnipeg beat Sean Grassie from the Deer Lodge Club, also in Winnipeg, 7-4 in the championship final in Neepawa. Stoughton will be taking aim at his fourth Brier cham-pionship.
And in the N e w f o u n d l a n d /Labrador Tankard at the St. John’s Curling Club, 2006 Olympic gold-medallist Brad Gushue of the Bally Haly Curling Club in St. John’s capped an unbeaten run with an 8-2 win over Colin Thomas of the host club. It will be Gushue’s 10th trip to the Tim Hortons Brier.

Bilesky off to Brier
FROM PAGE 11 Birchard responded in the sixth when she
made a cold draw to the four-foot to score two and take her first lead of the game.
But B.C. answered back in the seventh as Brown made a spectacular triple takeout to score three and take a 4-2 lead.
“We were fortunate enough to have that set up, and we thought the worst we can do if I miss it is give up one,” said Brown. “So we thought the benefits outweighed the risks. We tried and ended up making it.”
In the eighth end, Birchard was looking at five B.C. rocks in the rings, but coolly drew to bite a piece of the button to score one and cut Brown’s lead to 4-3.
Brown made an open hit for a single in the ninth to restore her two-point lead.
In the 10th, Birchard had a runback double takeout to score two and force an extra end, but the rock jammed, giving B.C. a steal and the victory.
“There was just so much moving at once, and
then all of a sudden ours stopped just outside of the eight-foot, and we knew we won it,” said Brown. “It’s an incredible feeling to know that we did enough to pull out that win in the last end.”
It was the second straight year that Winnipeg’s Birchard has finished second at the Canadian juniors. Playing with lead Mariah Mondor, she lost last year’s final to Alberta’s Jocelyn Peterman at Napanee, Ont.
“It’s definitely heartbreaking,” Birchard said. “Coming back into this, it was a way better final than last year. Just a couple missed shots here and there that really killed us. I was deep with my last shot in the seventh and set up that auto-matic triple for three. It was there all day and she was going to make it up, no matter what.”
Her team this year was rounded out by third Nicole Sigvaldason and second Sheyna Andries.
“They’re a great team and they’re going to represent the country really well in Sochi,” added Birchard.
Brown suffered just one loss in the prelimin-ary round en route to the national title.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SNEW YORK - After 17 seasons on “The
Bachelor” (plus eight seasons on “The Bachelorette” and three on “Bachelor Pad”), host Chris Harrison says one thing makes Sean Lowe stand out from the others - and it’s not his washboard abs.
It’s the way Lowe makes the women on the ABC dating show feel, Harrison says. On the show, which airs Mondays (8 p.m. EST), single women live in a house together and compete for the affection of a single man.
Lowe “has this incredible way of making you feel like you’re the only person in the room,” Harrison said in a recent interview. “That’s a great quality, and the thing is, it’s sincere.
“It’s not an act with him, and what really makes the difference is his sincerity. His charm and his charisma makes these women feel like, ‘This is it, like we could literally stop this date and go get married.’ I don’t think I’ve ever seen a season where so many relationships are so sin-cere and serious and that could only lead to one thing: a very combustible situation.”
Lowe, who is from Dallas, tried to win Emily Maynard’s heart last season on “The Bachelorette.”
He ended up in third place, and although he didn’t walk away with the girl, he did leave with a friendship with finalists Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Jef Holm. Luyendyk appeared on the first episode of “The Bachelor” to give Lowe support.
Harrison says that while male contestants tend to bond, women tend to bicker and conspire against one another.
“The way they are manipulative and they fight, and they try to win - that’s them,” he said. “And when you shine a light on it maybe it’s not so pretty, but that happens in every bar and church and library in America when people are getting together and it’s just exploited to the nth degree on ‘The Bachelor.”’
But, he adds: “It’s an extraordinary situation, too. I mean, I’m gonna come to their defence a little bit. They’re all dating the same guy. But ... the guys seem to have this ... camaraderie, and we’re pretty simple animals. ... I think women are much too, way too dynamic and smart for this game, where guys are like, ‘Whatever, OK.’ So I think it’s geared easier for men than for women, who I think are just way too much of too many personalities piled into one house.”

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SLOS ANGELES - “Identity Thief” has turned
out to be the real thing at the North American box office.
The comedy starring Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy debuted at No. 1 with a $36.6 million opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. “Identity Thief” opened solidly despite the winter storm that buried much of the U.S. Northeast. Distributor Universal Pictures estimates the storm might have choked off as much as 10 per cent of the movie’s business.
The previous weekend’s top movie, the zom-bie romance “Warm Bodies,” fell to No. 2 with $11.5 million.
The weekend’s other new wide release, Steven Soderbergh’s thriller “Side Effects,” had a mod-est opening of $10 million, coming in at No. 3.
Tom Cruise’s 1986 hit “Top Gun” took flight again in theatres with a 3-D reissue that pulled in $1.9 million in narrow release of 300 theatres.
BOX OFFICE
‘Identity Thief’ steals top spot
Leisure
Dear Annie: Twenty years ago, my wife had an affair with a co-worker. It ended when he moved back to his home state 2,000 miles away. At the time, I asked my wife to go to counseling with me. We made it to one session before she pronounced our marriage “healed.”
Sixteen months ago, out of the blue, this same guy contacted my wife via email, and they began communicating. I discovered they were planning to meet in Las Vegas. I begged her not to go, but she was con-vinced she loved him and had to know if they should be together. The month before her trip, I endured more pain than I’ve ever experi-enced. I set up coun-seling sessions for us with separate thera-pists, arranged a meet-ing with our pastor and lost 20 pounds from the stress.
In the end, this creep flaked out on their Vegas rendez-vous, probably because he couldn’t see him-
self leaving his chil-dren for her. She also was reluctant to leave our kids. However, the breakup crushed her, and she initially refused to work on our mar-riage. Finally, we went to a joint counseling session, but when the therapist made refer-ence to her “profound betrayal,” that was that.
My wife refuses to rehash what happened. I’m worried that the only reason she is recommitting to our marriage is because the other man gave up on her. Things just don’t feel the same. She insists she’s done with this guy, but who really knows? Is it possible to move forward without dealing with the past?
-- Torn Up in California Dear Torn: Maybe,
but not if your wife is using your marriage as her rebound relation-ship in order to soothe her heartbreak. That’s a temporary commit-ment. Refusing to examine the reasons behind her vulnerabil-ity to the affair leaves open the possibility of repeating the betrayal -- and this is undoubt-edly what most worries you.
You cannot force your wife to work on this, so please get coun-seling for yourself, on your own. You need to learn what you can live with.
Dear Annie: Nobody ever addresses how someone’s death affects the animals left behind. Dogs especially look forward to the return of their “master” each day with great antici-pation. When my hus-band is away on vaca-tion, our dogs wait at the door for hours and go through the same ritual each day until he returns.
When a loved one dies, the pet has no comprehension that this person is not com-ing back. When one of our dogs has passed on, we always lovingly place them in an open box where the remain-ing animal can be alone with the deceased for at least a half-hour. That seems to help them understand and reach closure of some kind.
Why can’t we bring the animal to the funer-al home or other appro-priate setting and let the animal be with their friend one last time? It’s the least we can do for our animal friends who give us unconditional love and companion-ship without asking for anything in return. -- Rocky Mount, Va.
Dear Va.: Some funeral homes allow dogs as “comfort ani-mals” for the bereaved. It is likely they would also permit an animal to attend a viewing before the service. It is certainly not an unrea-sonable request.
Dear Annie: “Don’t
Want a Contest” feels his fiancee’s 13-year-old son is jealous. Please tell him to back off. It is normal for a single mom and her son to have this sort of close-ness, and the boy will grow out of it.
My husband accept-ed my close relation-
ship with my only child. My son would also sit in between us and want to snuggle in bed, but he came to accept my husband without resentment. My son died at age 15 from cancer. I never would have forgiven myself or my husband if I had
missed out on one hug. -- Understanding Mom

Unfaithful wife is not committed to marriage
Leisure
For Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today is a mixed bag. At some point, you might lose your temper when talking to someone because things get too intense. Nevertheless, later in the day, you’re happy. In fact, a casual friend could become a cozy cohort. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might feel angry with someone today, but you won’t show it. (You will just be qui-etly seething.) Fortunately, by evening, all is forgotten. Whew! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might butt heads with someone today, perhaps a female, especially in a meet-ing or a group situation. Hold your fire. Later in the day, this will be entirely forgotten. (Well, sort of.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Tread carefully when talking to authority figures -- bosses,
parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. This is a classic day to attract overbearing people to you. Or in turn, you might be overbearing. (Yikes.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion or racial issues. Heated arguments can arise today. Go gently. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Disputes about shared prop-erty, inheritances and jointly held property might occur today. Be patient. By this eve-ning, you’re extremely happy with your work. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Arguments with partners or female relatives are likely today. Put a lid on it. By eve-ning, social plans and romance are promising! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Others will resist your ideas for improvements and reforms at work. Therefore, be diplomatic. This evening is a wonderful time to entertain at
home or to enjoy family fun. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A casual conversation easily can heat up into disputes and quarrels today because some-one is passionately entrenched in his or her point of view. (Not you, of course.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Be patient with parents and family members, especially female relatives, so that you can avoid an argument today.
This evening, you might see a way to boost your income. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an argumentative day for many people. Therefore, tread lightly. By evening, you will love schmoozing with others, especially if you have avoided a fight. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Disputes about money and possessions might arise today. Someone might even
try to take something from you. Be patient and be strong. Fortunately, by evening, you have a warm feeling in your tummy as you share good times with friends. YOU BORN TODAY You are spontaneous, energetic and intelligent. You invariably seek out exciting situations because you like to be stimu-lated. You are unusually can-did, emotionally spirited and uninhibited, which is why you never hesitate to speak your
mind. You are a loyal friend and certainly a colorful one. In the year ahead, an impor-tant choice will arise. Choose wisely. Birthdate of: Mena Suvari, actress; George Segal, actor; Stockard Channing, actress. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Doherty-Freschi
When one picks up a b a l a n c e d hand with
15 to 17 high card points, one opens one notrump. What about all the other hands that are 12 points or better?
F i v e - C a r d Majors: We play a system called five card majors. In the past, an open-ing bid of one of a major (hearts or spades) showed a four-card suit or better. Today, this shows five cards in the major or longer and 12 to 21 points and often just 12 to 19 points.
The Bidding: South would never consider a light opening because he has a lower ranking suit and is vulnerable. One has to recognize the limitations of these situations.
West has 14 high card points and five spades. He opens one spade. North passes and so does East. East needs a minimum, of 6 points to respond. Four-card support and five points including an ace or king would also be enough to respond with a two spade bid, showing a real good five to nine points. Here East does not have even five points so he has noth-ing to say.
South cannot let the bidding pass out at such a low level and
makes a balancing bid of two hearts which passes out. West would need a strong hand (18 points) to take further action when partner passes a direct bid.
The Opening Lead: West should lead the ace of spades and force the declarer to ruff spades in the long trump hand. This is called
tapping the declarer. The ace wins and West plays the queen.
The Play: South throws a club on both the queen and king of spades and then ruffs the fourth spade in dummy. East will play the seven and six of spades first under part-ner’s ace and queen to unblock spades.
South exits dummy with a heart and East wins the ace. A duck by East is not neces-sary because declarer does not have a heart to exit dummy. East exits a club which West wins and exits a spade. Declarer ruffs in his hand, draws trump and claims.
The result: Two hearts making for +110
An alternate line of play: Had South ruffed the second spade in his long trump hand, he would have to ruff another spade upon East winning the ace of trumps.
East would also duck trump once to
exhaust dummy of trump before winning the ace so as not to let declarer ruff a fourth round of spades in dummy.
Declarer will not be able to draw trump and will win four trump and
two diamonds before East ruffs in with his last trump. East exits a spade and defense wins two trump, three spades and the ace of clubs before dummy wins the last trick with the king of clubs.

The TransCanada Trail Association has awarded the Grand Forks Community Trails Society $56,000 to put toward work on the trail from Grand Forks to Christina Lake.
In a presentation to city council on Feb. 4, society treasurer Mary Ann Westaway said that the money was earmarked for the engineer-ing work that would be required in preparation for paving the 17.5 km. trail.
She added that the Grand Forks Community Trails Society hopes to have Phase 1, beginning at 68th Avenue and continuing up until Nursery Trestle, complete by sum-mer. The remaining Phase 2, from Nursery Trestle up through east end of Gilpin Grasslands Provincial Park and Phase 3 from the provincial park to Cascade Gorge Trestle, will be completed once additional fund-ing can be arranged.
When finished, this portion of will allow pedestrian, equestrian, and bicycle travel.
