The idea of extending civic election terms from a three-year to a four-year cycle has been tossed around the province’s annual meeting of municipalities for years.

This week, Coralee Oakes, minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, announced she will put forth legislation in the near future to extend local government terms from three years to four, following the passing of a resolution supporting the extension at the 2013 Union of British Columbia Municipalities.

“The move to four-year terms is part of a package of local election reforms.” said the min-ister in a release. “Four-year terms give local governments more time to consult, plan and achieve community goals and also help manage election costs.”

This means all elected mayors and officials serving Rossland, Warfield, Trail, Montrose, Fruitvale and Salmo; regional district directors in Electoral Areas A and B; and nine trustee chairs in School District 20, would extend their rule into 2018.

Although the decision to add one year to the current three-year term has been a battle between urban and rural, Warfield’s mayor said the process was completed democratically and could be beneficial to the community.

“My opinion is to support the majority,” said Mayor Bert Crockett. “Rurally, being mayor or on council isn’t a job like in the bigger centres. But who knows, it may be a good thing.”

Crockett explained his concern that the extra year could increase byelection costs if the elected official vacates the seat in the first three years.

“Things change in people’s lives all the time and if the person becomes frustrated or walks away in Year Three, in terms of dollars and cents, this could end up costing more for a byelection.”

In the 2008 municipal elections, the ques-tion to extend elected official terms was put to the voters in Trail and five other B.C. commun-ities, and according to Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs, 60 per cent of Silver City respondents were in favour of adding one year.

“Of all the communities asked at that time, the people of Trail voted the highest in favour of it,” said the mayor. “Personally, I think this it is a positive move that will add more stability to local councils.”

Not all that long ago it was beginning to look like traditional music education, in the form of concert band curriculum, was going to be a thing of the past in the Greater Trail area.

School District 20 and the majority of local schools had cancelled in-school music programs with only Rossland Secondary holding on to it's band class.

However, with the scheduled closure of the Rossland secondary program and students moving to J.L. Crowe, it looked like even that last bit of music education was in jeopardy.

Then fate intervened when one of the Trail city council members approached the Trail Alliance Church to inquire about the possibility of any kind of a program that might give youths in the area something to do.

“I'm so thrilled, the community got behind us,” said Terry Moon, a for-mer band teacher at Crowe and now the music program administrator for

the Trail and District After School Band. “It was need-ed and wanted and the grants and donations we've received shows the com-munity doesn't want music to die in this area.”

The church is supplying the facility, storage for the instruments, administer-ing the program, and the congregation provides any needed additional support.

When Moon began the program in January, 2013 it faced an uncertain future but soon the people of Trail and area began offering instruments that had been sitting unused in their homes.

“There has probably been almost $50,000 worth of instruments donated and we've been applying for grants,” Moon said. “We've now brought in about $40,000 in grants and everybody who wants to play can.”

The After School Band began with

seven beginner students and nine intermediates and has now grown to a total of 25 split between the two levels, with par-ticipants coming from Trail, Warfield, Fruitvale, Rossland, Genelle, and even as far away as Castlegar.

Rather than draw-ing potential music stu-dents away from the newly revitalized music program at J.L. Crowe, the After School Band is now acting as a major supporter of the

school-based curriculum by providing additional structured music training and time to practice with their instru-ments.

“About 90 per cent of our students are in the Crowe band program,” Moon said. “We're supporting them to learn their music for the school program as well as additional music with us.

(all year long)

Introducing little known form T1135: the Foreign Income Verification Statement. You may

recall in the past when you filed your tax return you answered the question, “Did you own for-eign assets of $100,000 or more this year?” This question has been on the T1 tax return for years and until recently, didn’t appear too ter-ribly important.

No longer. Last year’s Federal

Government’s budget has placed this form front and center as it tries to identify, track and tax Canadian’s for-eign assets worth $100,000 or more.

This reporting should not be confused with the neces-sity for Canadian’s to report worldwide income on their tax return. Rather, form T1135 requires the disclosure

of foreign owned assets that may or may not be earning income.

It includes amounts deposited in foreign bank accounts, shares in for-

eign compan-ies, interests in foreign trusts, foreign bonds, units in offshore mutual funds and, of course, real estate – even vacant land.

H o w e v e r , exempted are assets to operate a foreign busi-

ness and also personal use property - things like vehi-cles, artwork, jewellery and vacation property.

But in the case of vaca-tion real estate that is rented, CRA clearly states that the Canadian taxpayer/owner must not have an expectation of profit. In other words, any rental revenue generated must be incidental to own-ing the property and act only to offset expenses associated

with that property.By extension, this means

foreign real estate worth $100,000 functioning mainly as a rental property must be reported as an asset on form T1135.

As an aside, rental revenue and expense in either case must be reported on schedule T776.

For the purposes of form T1135, the value of a capital asset is its original purchase cost plus the cost of improve-ments made to it over time. The current market value is not the determining fac-tor regarding the use of this form.

The amount of a down payment used to purchase an asset is irrelevant. An asset costing $100,000 or more, whether involving a down payment with a mortgage or loan, has to be reported at the full purchase cost.

In the case of joint owner-ship of an asset, the value is divided proportionately to each party’s investment. So if an asset is $150,000

and one person had invested $110,000 that person has to report their portion on form T1135 but the other doesn’t. The $150,000 cannot simply be split 50/50 and neither person report. This makes for an interesting calculation when it comes to a couple.

If several lower valued assets aggregate to $100,000 then the group of assets has to be reported.

Form T1135 has to be filed by April 30 for individuals, and for corporations it must be filed by that corp’s regular tax filing due date. And while on the topic of filing, despite the electronic world we live in that makes tracking and taxing things like foreign assets possible, form T1135 cannot be e-filed. It has to be signed and mailed to CRA.

It's not out of the ordinary for a girl to become prey to a cheesy pick-up artist, who in some cases needs to update his wardrobe along with his one liners. But the rare part is when this talent is getting paid for his act.

Those 19 and older who like to be the centre of atten-tion and enjoy electronic dance music are invited to apply as an actor for an interactive, visual electronic dance musical experience. The casting call for Electro Social Club closes March 1, allowing enough time to pre-pare for the upcoming show at the Rossland Miners' Hall set for March 21.

Electro Social Club is what you get when an elec-tronic music producer and a musical theatre nerd col-laborate, according to Rossland's Nadine Tremblay

(aka the theatre nerd), who's working with musical part-ner and boyfriend Rupert Keiller of Australian band Sonicanimation.

To put on a night to remember, the creative lead-ers have brought on Rob Sulman as director/videog-rapher and Zeb Hansell as sound and video technician.

The Iron Mountain Theatre show is far different than its predecessors Ski Bum: The Musical, Mennonite Mafia and Company Jump. Eleven actors are cast as “nightclub freaks” from the classic pick-up artist to the forever raver to mix and mingle with the crowd during a live electron-ic musical theatre show.

“For one, it is all elec-tronic music which for the exception of Fat Boy Slim's show, ours is the only one I've heard of like it,” said Tremblay. “Then there is the interactive element which is super unique.”

T h e N e l s o N s T a rThe BC Coroners Service has identified

the Nelson man killed in Sunday’s ava-lanche near the summit of the Kootenay Pass as Cale Jack, 27.

He was one of four people who went backcountry skiing in an area known as Twin Lakes. He and a local woman, also 27, were caught in the slide.

Other members of their party were able to find them, but, he was unresponsive when found and not able to be resuscitated. More than two dozen search and rescue volunteers who responded spent several hours rescuing the woman and a hand-ful returned the following day to recover Jack’s body. The woman, who was seriously injured, has not been named but remains in hospital in Trail.

This is not the first time Rossland has taken in this show. Electro Social Club debuted back in 2012 but the performance has since been made longer with three new scenes along with songs and a script re-write by Mark Pollard.

The company will later take the show on the road, but not the actors. A casting call will be put out in each community visited – Nelson, Fernie, Revelstoke and Golden – add-ing a familiar element to each performance, not to mention cost savings.

“For one, it is very expensive to tour with gas, vehicle, accommodation and food costs as well as artist fees if you are 15 people on the road,” said Tremblay. “Trust me, I know and have done it.”

The scenes are also designed for the short attention spans of people in nightclubs, she added, and it allows for a small commitment from actors.

Those interested in bringing the party to life are asked to apply on the company’s website.

When selected, an individual will be given a password protected link with script, music and all the details to follow.

Actors, who are paid a small honorarium, show up for rehearsal the day of the show with lines memorized for a run through with the director and videographer on hand before the real performance later that night.

Times StaffYoung ladies will be

‘Dancing for Breakfast’ tonight at Webster Elementary School in a showcase of rhythmic steps to benefit a local organiza-tion spearheaded by three moms, called “kids helping kids.”

Kids helping kids is a group of parents with chil-dren, who together are try-ing to raise awareness and funds in the community to assist with breakfast, lunch and healthy snack programs in local schools.

The project is a passion for Courtenay Jones, Debbie Field, and Heather Zanussi, the trio of local mothers who kicked off the cause with a series of fundraisers last fall.

“It breaks my heart that when we phoned each school, we found that the need is so great out there,” explained Field.

“We wanted to do some-thing because our kids shouldn’t be hungry,” she said. “These kids are our future and we want people to be aware of the need for healthy food in our local schools.”

With help from art-ful bakers in the commun-ity who donated soups and homemade bread, kids who helped bake cookies, family and friends, the ladies have raised $3,100 to date, with all proceeds being distrib-uted equally to breakfast and snack programs at

Webster Elementary, J.L. Crowe Secondary, Glenmerry Elementary and the Kootenay Columbia Learning Centre (formerly the Trail Middle School).

“All our friends, families and coworkers at Kootenay Savings have helped with baking,” said Field. “Not only did they donate it, but in some cases, they turned around and bought it back,” she laughed.

Each day, the school meal program provides about 215 lunches for students in School District 20 (SD20), however 60 per cent of those lunches are delivered to Trail schools, according to Kim Williams, SD20’s director of student support services.

The lunch program began 21 years ago when teach-ers recognized that students were arriving at school with-out lunch.

“For those who can-not afford lunches, they are provided free of cost.” said Williams. “And the same need is identified in high school and elementary in all communities.”

School meals are paid for through a community grant provided by the Ministry of Education, however the $175,000 yearly budget is stretched to cover wages for two school meal coordin-ators, and cover costs of shop-ping locally for bagged lunch contents, which include milk or juice box, a sandwich and

one serving of vegetables.This is where ‘kids help-

ing kids’ steps in, because if a child also arrives at school without breakfast in the belly, or is hungry at recess or any other time during the day, SD20 only provides susten-ance for lunch.

“Some children are get-ting on the bus at 7 a.m. and by the time they arrive at school it is close to 8:15 a.m.,” said Zanussi. “Lunch break rolls around and they have eaten what is left in their lunch bag and have nothing for afternoon recess break,” she continued. “By the time they take the bus at home they haven’t eaten any-thing since lunch. And some children arrive at school with no food at all.”

So with a “you eat, you’re in” philosophy, ‘kids help-ing kids’ is forging ahead to find ways to fund an ongoing healthy breakfast and snack program for Greater Trail children.

“It’s wrong to have our kids go hungry,” said Jones. “The community has been supportive but involving kids to help out is what it is all about. We are so honoured and thankful that so many people are willing to help raise money for our pro-gram.”

The Steps Dance Centre performance begins Friday at 6:30 p.m., with a $10 family admission, $5 adult or $3 tickets available at the door.

For more information, or to donate, call 367.7133.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVANCOUVER - A

potentially costly court ruling that found the British Columbia gov-ernment violated the rights of its teachers and ordered hundreds of clauses restored to their collective agree-ment has been put on hold until an appeal is heard.

The ruling Wednesday by the B.C.

Appeal Court is the latest volley in a dec-ade-long legal battle between the govern-ment and its teachers and yet another wrin-kle in contract negoti-ations already steeped in acrimony.

The provincial gov-ernment is appealing a ruling released last month by the B.C. Supreme Court, which struck down legisla-

tion that removed class size and compos-ition from the teach-ers’ contract. The rul-ing also concluded the government attempted to provoke a strike and awarded the B.C. Teachers’ Federation $2 million.

The province asked the Appeal Court to temporarily stay the ruling, which it argued would create chaos as school boards scram-bled to hire teachers and find the money to pay them.

Those conse-quences could not be reversed if the court ruling is later over-turned, the govern-ment warned.

In a written deci-sion, Justice David Harris agreed. He found that restoration of the deleted clauses would require sub-stantial changes and it would be impossible to turn back the clock if

the government were to win the appeal.

“It is clear, in my view, that the harm suffered in imple-menting the judgment is irreparable,” Harris wrote.

The case dates back to 2002, when the Liberal govern-ment used legislation to remove numerous contract clauses relat-ed to the size and com-position of classrooms.

The B.C. Supreme Court struck down the legislation as uncon-stitutional in 2011. A year later, the govern-ment passed a similar law, which retroactive-ly removed classroom conditions from the contract but allowed the issues to be dis-cussed in future nego-tiations.

That revised law was declared uncon-stitutional last month, prompting the prov-ince to launch the cur-

rent appeal.Education Minister

Peter Fassbender has suggested the ruling could cost as much as $1 billion. However, the teachers’ union insists that figure is significantly inflated and a government law-yer acknowledged in court last week that the precise cost is uncertain.

The union said delaying the rul-ing would hurt its bargaining position, because the deleted clauses would not be considered part of the current contract.

The judge dis-agreed.

“I am not persuaded that an interim stay pending appeal will, as argued, material-ly fetter the current bargaining process,” wrote Harris.

“The parties are sophisticated. They fully understand that a

stay indicates nothing about which party’s legal position will prove to be correct on appeal.”

The education min-ister welcomed the ruling.

“We now are going to allow the court pro-cess to take its nat-ural course, and what I am again focusing on, we need to go back to the bargaining table,” Fassbender told repor-ters in Victoria.

Earlier this month, Fassbender criticized the ruling, arguing it removed the govern-ment’s ability to set education policy and put the union’s inter-est ahead of students.

The president of the teachers’ union, Jim Iker, said he hopes the appeal will be expedit-ed to settle the issue. A hearing is expected as early as May or June.

“We hope that (the appeal) hear-

ing happens sooner rather than later so we can have certainty going into the next school year,” Iker said Wednesday.

“In the meantime, it’s important that we keep going at the bar-gaining table.”

The union has already announced a strike vote, planned for next month.

Iker said the union’s initial proposal to gov-ernment negotiators in the current round of bargaining already included the deleted clauses as a starting point.

The lower court ruling also permitted the union to distrib-ute its written closing submissions, which contained references to sealed cabinet docu-ments. The Appeal Court has stayed that aspect of the ruling, as well, until the appeal is finished.

Court ruling on teachers put on hold for now

is currently one of the last provinces in Canada that does not require registration of off-road vehicles. The status may be about to change, with the proposed Bill 13, the Off Road Vehicle (ORV) Act.

Steve Thomson,

B.C. Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, made the announcement Monday, Feb. 24 in Victoria, saying the proposed legisla-tion will replace the 40-year-old Motor Vehicle (All Terrain) Act with a modern management struc-ture, and will make

B.C.’s backcountry safer.

“Whether hunting, fishing, getting back to nature or just getting to work, many out-door enthusiasts rely on off-road vehicles to augment their rural experience,” Thomson said. “The Off-Road Vehicle Act will secure the future of off-road vehicle use in a way

that is self-sustaining, safe and environment-ally responsible.”

ORVs are used in a variety of sectors in British Columbia, including farming, ranching, forestry, oil and gas, mining, sport, tourism, transporta-tion and search and rescue. It’s estimated that 200,000 ORVs are in use in B.C., and

while snowmobiles have been registered in the province since the 1970s, we are cur-rently one of the last provinces in Canada that does not require registration of other off-road vehicles.

A press release from the government of B.C. says the proposed ORV Act “is the result of extensive consulta-tion, and represents a fair compromise for all user groups.” Implementation of Bill 13, including regis-tration provisions, is anticipated in the fall of 2014.

This does not neces-sarily mean that the vehicles will have to be insured, says Greig Bethel of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

“In Alberta, third party liability insur-ance is required. It is common practice in other provinces. As for whether insurance will be required in B.C., the answer is not now. It may be coming though.”

The act, if passed will:

• Establish a one-time registration system designed to integrate with the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia’s

FROM PAGE 1“They’re getting music les-

sons from both sides.”Another way that the

community-based program is hoping to contribute to the musical life of the Greater Trail area is by becoming a feeder program for the vener-able Trail Maple Leaf Band.

“A number of the players in the Maple Leaf Band are get-ting on in years and they don’t march anymore, they weren’t getting many young people joining up,” Moon said.

“Now they have recognized the After School Band as the Jr. Maple Leaf Band and four

of our students are playing with them.”

The band held its first public performance for the Alliance Church’s Christmas concert last December, has been booked for the 2014 Warfield Days celebration, and is planning a spring concert in May.

Moon says the band is thriving and is extremely grateful to the community and many financial donors such as Kootenay Savings, Telus, Columbia Power, the Le Roi Foundation, Teck, the Columbia Basin Trust, and the local municipalities and RDKB

but are looking to grow and are still applying for additional grants.

“We want to get the mes-sage out there that there is room for more kids,” he emphasized.

“We can handle about 25 more and can provide one instrument per student min-imum. But we’re looking for another $25,000 to cover con-sumables and repairs.”

The band holds practices every Tuesday afternoon and anyone interested in joining the After School Band can contact Terry Moon through the Trail Alliance Church.

FROM PAGE 1Bogs’ view is reiterated by

Lorraine Manning, a Trail resi-dent who has served as school trustee intermittently since the 1970’s.

Manning attended the provincial council of the B.C. School Trustees Association in October, when the topic was on the table for 60 school dis-trict representatives to debate before voting for or against serving one extra year.

Ultimately, the motion in favour of a four-year term was carried by a slim margin, she said.

“For a new trustee, the first year is about getting your feet wet because it takes a bit of learning to understand things like budget,” explained Manning. “The second year, you just start to get into it, and then the third year, there is another election. So I think it’s really good because a fourth

year is better for planning and continuity.”

However, she acknowledged Crockett’s point about possible costs related to people walking away from an elected position by the third year.

“That is my fear,” she said. “People may not want to com-mit and drop out before the fourth year,” she said. “Then we will have to hold a byelection which will add extra costs to the board.”

In smaller rural commun-ities, traditionally elected offi-cials have not been in favour of a four-year term, citing time commitment and lack of remuneration, which is a position that Greg Granstrom, Rossland’s two-term mayor sides with.

“The remuneration for councillors in the majority of B.C. communities is far less than minimum wage when the time involved is calculated,” said Granstrom. “I do not believe this change helps a very complex situation.

“While it may save a few dollars in election costs it may well cost more in the loss of appetite for new people to get involved, as well as the loss of some very dedicated people.”

Time commitment a concern for

many rural officials

OPINION

Measuring progress with GDP is a gross mistakeGo v e r n m e n t s ,

media and much of the public are preoccupied with

the economy. That means demands such as those for recognition of First Nations treaty rights and environmental protection are often seen as impedi-ments to the goal of main-taining economic growth. The gross domestic prod-uct has become a sacred indicator of well-being. Ask corporate CEOs and politicians how they did last year and they’ll refer to the rise or fall of the GDP.

It’s a strange way to measure either economic or social well-being. The GDP was developed as a way to estimate economic activity by measuring the value of all transactions for goods and services. But even Simon Kuznets, an American economist and pioneer of national income measurement, warned in 1934 that such measure-ments say little about “the welfare of a nation.” He understood there’s more to life than the benefits that come from spending money.

My wife’s parents have shared our home for 35 years. If we had put them in a care home, the GDP would have grown. In caring for them our-selves we didn’t contribute as much. When my wife left her teaching job at Harvard University to be a full-time volunteer for the David Suzuki Foundation, her GDP contribution fell. Each time we repair and reuse something con-sidered disposable we fail to contribute to the GDP.

To illustrate the GDP’s limitations as an indica-tor of well-being, suppose a fire breaks out at the Darlington nuclear facility near Toronto and issues a cloud of radioactivity that blows over the city, causing hundreds of cases of radiation sickness. All the ambulances, doctors, medicines and hospital beds will jack up the GDP. And if people die, funeral services, hearses, flowers, gravediggers and lawyers will stimulate GDP growth. In the end, cleaning up the Darlington mess would cost billions and produce a spike in the GDP.

Extreme weather-relat-

ed events, such as flood-ing and storms, can also contribute to increases in GDP, as resources are brought in to deal with the mess. Damage done by Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy and the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico added tens of billions to the GDP. If GDP growth is our highest aspiration, we should be praying for more weather catastrophes and oil spills.

The GDP replaced gross national product, which was similar but included international expendi-tures. In a 1968 speech at the University of Kansas, Robert Kennedy said, “Too much and for too long, we seemed to have surren-

dered personal excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things . . . Gross national product counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambu-lances to clear our high-ways of carnage.

It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for the people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwood and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl. It counts napalm and counts nuclear warheads and armored cars for the police to fight the riots in our cities . . . and the television programs which glorify violence in order to sell toys to our children.

“Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their educa-tion or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our mar-riages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures nei-ther our wit nor our cour-age, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither

our compassion nor our devotion to our country. It measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.”

We deserve better indi-cators of societal well-being that extend beyond mere economic growth. Many economists and social sci-entists are proposing such indicators. Some argue we need a “genuine progress indicator”, which would include environmental and social factors as well as economic wealth. A number of groups, includ-ing Friends of the Earth, have suggested an Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare, which would take into account “income inequality, environmental damage, and depletion of environmental assets.” The Kingdom of Bhutan has suggested measuring gross national happiness.

Whatever we come up with, it has to be better than GDP with its absurd emphasis on endless growth on a finite planet.

Luca Hair Studio is excited to welcomeLisa Frisk

to the team.Lisa is a fully certi� ed esthetician

and Make Up artist.She welcomes new and existing clients to call the salon for an appointment today.If you’re a parent, then

maybe this sounds familiar:The alarm bleats. You

swat it quiet then wash, brush, and dress quickly. While breakfast cooks and coffee per-colates, you make up the day’s lunches and shout up the stairs for your kids to get ready. You feed the cat, run the dishwash-er, check a few emails you don’t have time to answer, and run upstairs to prep your not-in-the-least-ready kids for school.

P a r e n t i n g is a tough job. Balance it atop the already daunting pile of tasks that encom-pass our work and home lives, and the whole thing feels liable to come crash-ing down on top of us. Many parents are overworked, over-stressed, and overwhelmed. And what’s worse, it doesn’t seem like there’s much we can do about it. With long hours, stag-nating wages, and a turbulent economic future, looking for-ward can sometimes offer more questions than answers.

So maybe it’s worth looking back. Way back.

The family unit as we know it might seem natural, but it’s actually a fairly new phenomen-on. Historically, our ancestors lived much more communally, in bands of 20 to 30 individuals. The whole group functioned as something like a cohesive family unit, and children were raised by many adults, not just their parents.

As society modernized, the communal approach to par-enting began to change. Large clans fragmented into smaller groups, families spread out over greater distances, and parents had fewer children. The “nucle-ar family” became the de facto

makeup of most households. And with this change, emphasis shifted from the clan to the individual – from “us” to “me.”

We can’t help but wonder if this is truly the best way to structure our lives. After all, humans are social beings. Forming close bonds with others has always been critical for our survival, and not simply because newborns are unable to fend for themselves.

Parents give chil-dren far more than just food and shel-ter. They provide them with the inter-active stimulation their brains need to properly develop. The drive to seek this stimulation as children – and to provide it as parents – is hardwired into

us. It’s why children love to play, and why we as adults can naturally and unselfconsciously play with them. It may seem trivial, but that game of I spy or peekaboo is doing far more than eliciting a few satisfied giggles. It’s strengthening the neural connections essential for emotional maturity and higher thought.

Large clans provide a lot more opportunity for this sort of growth than do small, isolat-ed groups. Though school and work provide us with important social outlets, the most nour-ishing interactions are derived from frequent contact with a core group of caring individuals – in short, a family.

We need to shift back to an earlier, more communal notion of family. There are a num-ber of ways to do this. Policy is one avenue – tax incentives for grandparents providing short- or long-term childcare or employers that allow flexibil-ity for family time, for instance.

Ultimately, though, the

change we need is not proced-ural, but cultural. We need to understand and embrace the fact that families matter, just as we need to expand our con-cept of what a family is. There is room in the definition for friends and neighbours along-side grandparents, aunts and uncles. By broadening our net-work of support, we not only make life a lot easier for our-selves, we also furnish our chil-dren with more opportunities for neural development, and make our communities kinder, more supportive places to live.

Imagine the scene at the start of this article occurring in a household with just a bit of extra family support. Suddenly, not everything needs to happen at once. Maybe mom or dad tends to the kids while grandpa cooks breakfast. Or maybe the neighbourhood parents take turns shepherding the local kids to the bus stop, allowing off-duty moms and dads the chance to check – and actually answer – those emails.

If our culture as a whole placed more value on family ties, be they with blood rela-tions or simply a supportive community, many of the stress-es of daily life could be alleviat-ed. Children would form more vital neural connections, get more brain-nourishing inter-action, and grow into secure, happy, family-oriented individ-uals. The result is better for us, and it’s better for our kids.

t H e c a N a D i a N P r e S SOTTAWA - The federal gov-

ernment has been given a dubi-ous award for spending mil-lions of tax dollars to promote a job grant that doesn’t yet exist.

Employment and Social Development Canada was named Wednesday as recipient of the 16th annual Teddy Award for wasteful federal spending.

The pig-shaped awards are handed out annually by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation to people and government agencies that it deems as the worst wasters of tax dollars.

“If you jumped from your sofa during the Stanley Cup playoffs in 2013 to alert your unemployed teenager about the fabulous new $15,000 Canada Jobs Grant, you were in for a sad surprise,” said CTF federal director Gregory Thomas.

“Despite $2.5 million in tax-

payer-funded advertising ... the Canada Jobs Grant didn’t exist, and still doesn’t.”

Former Toronto Pan Am Games CEO Ian Troop won the provincial award for getting a salary of over $550,000 while overseeing an event that is $1.1 billion over budget.

Toronto is to host the games in 2016. Troop’s expense claims ranged from 91 cents for park-ing to a lavish $8,500 party in Mexico.

Vancouver’s TransLink got the municipal award for build-ing a $4.5 million parking lot that almost no one uses.

And the Senate of Canada was named as recipient of the lifetime achievement award.

“With one former senator finishing off a jail term for fraud, another former senator and a suspended senator facing criminal charges, two sus-

pended senators under police investigation and dozens more dragging their feet on the aud-itor general’s investigation of their spending, CTF support-ers across the country gave the issue some sober second thought,” said Thomas.

Runners-up for awards included the Defence Department for commissioning a $14,000 public opinion poll to determine what Canadians see as the powers of super heroes and Hydro Quebec for paying unionized crane operators an estimated $1.92 million to stay off the job while crane oper-ators from Germany did the actual work on a hydro project.

The awards are named for Ted Weatherill, a former fed-eral appointee who was fired in 1999 over his expense claims, which included a $700 lunch for two.

B y J i m B a i l e yTimes Sports Editor

A Fruitvale martial arts club is offer-ing Greater Trail residents a chance to learn a unique and intriguing method of self-defence.

Heart and Soul Taekwondo’s Master Jakki Van Hemert is starting classes next week in the ancient Korean art of Hapkido.

“The transfer of energy, is essen-tially what it means,” said Master Jakki. “Hapkido is all about circular motion and taking the opponent down with little strength. So it’s all about very little movement on your part with a lot of reaction on their part.”

Hapkido developed over 2,000 years ago by exclusive Korean elites. It com-bines hard and soft techniques that include kicking and punching, but also the manipulation of joints and pressure points, as well as weapons training with knife, sword, rope, jool bong (nuncha-ku), cane, short stick (dan bong), and staff (bong, gun,) which vary in empha-sis depending on the particular tradition examined.

Master Jakki began training in taek-wondo almost 20 years ago and is a fourth-degree black belt. Her interest in Hapkido emerged not long after, and she has studied the art since 2001, earning a third-degree black belt under Grand Master Sang Ki Lee while in South Korea.

Originally taekwondo and Hapkido were two separate disciplines practised by the historically disparate social class-es of Korean peasants and royalty. Yet, both arts have evolved and intermingled over the years, becoming very closely related.

“The guy that we train Hapkido with in Korea, he’s also one of the head instructors at the Kukkiwon, which is the taekwondo headquarters, and through that we’ve developed concur-rently the Hapkido and taekwondo pro-gram,” she said.

In her upcoming classes, the 33-year-old Master will teach techniques shared in both taekwondo and Hapkido, with focus on the self-defense elements of the latter.

The introductory classes, which start on Wednesday, are restricted to older students from around age-15 and up says Master Jakki, but experience in other martial arts is not required.

“If you do it wrong, you can easily injure somebody, so we restricted it . . .

In Hapkido, because it is more compli-cated, it’s a little bit tougher to learn, it’s very finite with the details, so you need an adult practitioner.”

With commitment and dedication, full-time practitioners can earn a black belt in two years, and as a form of self-defense, it is particularly useful for it teaches proponents how to subdue a much larger attacker by use of pressure points, joint locks, balance, and redirec-tion of force.

Fruitvale resident James Tite and 15-year-old Riley Russell were first in line for classes.

When asked what piqued Tite’s inter-est in Hapkido he replied:

“My youngest son does taekwondo and there’s a lot of kicking and punch-ing, and that’s not really what interested me as much as Hapkido does, just the fluid motions and self-defense aspect of it.”

As for Russell, he cut his teeth on taekwondo earning his black belt earlier this year, and his interest in Hapkido is a natural progression from what he has studied for the past few years.

“It’s fun, it’s a different martial art, and I wanted to try something else too. I wanted to try something different from

hockey or basketball,” said Russell.Hapkido is an eclectic martial art

steeped in tradition that teaches disci-pline, fitness, precision, and focus; it combines elements of many different disciplines and distills them into a fluid if not graceful force. For Master Jakki it is the ultimate self-defense mechanism.

“Hapkido is probably one of the best self-defence that you’re going to find,” she added. “Because it is so self-defence based that is why we keep it at an adult level. Hapkido is meant to bring people down.”

B y T i m e s s T a f fThe Zone 1 Kootenay rink skipped by Heather

Nichol didn’t win the 2014 B.C. Senior Women’s Curling championship in Comox last week, but the Castlegar curler was recognized for arguably something more important.

Nichol was awarded the Lottie Hill Award for the most sportsmanlike senior women curler as voted on by all other senior curlers.

Nichol skipped Trail’s Rose Beauchamp, and Castlegar’s Sue Babiarz and Cindy Pettapiece to a 2-5 record, but from the very start it was clear that her goal was more than just winning a provincial title.

“When Rose asked me to curl with her, I said, ‘Rose, fun is number one, curling is secondary and if you can live with that then I’m in,’” said Nichol before the provincials. “For us we’re going to play as well as we can, to play to our ability, but the bottom line is to gain experience at that level.”

Vancouver Island curling teams won both the Senior Men’s and Women’s events at the Curl B.C. championship event.

Victoria’s Wes Craig and Parksville’s Penny Shantz both went undefeated through the championships to secure gold and the chance to compete at nationals in Yellowknife, N.W.T. next month.

Team Shantz, rounded out by third Sandra Jenkins, second Debbie Pulak and lead Kate Horne, represent Parksville Curling Club. 

Team Craig, rounded out by third Blair Cusack, second Tony Anslow and lead Kevin Britt, and coached by Roselyn Craig, beat last year’s champions, Team Lepine in the final with a score of 8-5.

The women’s final between Team Shantz and Team Deputan was a close affair. Tied 3-3 going into the 10th end, Shantz managed to score a single point to take the lead and the gold medal.

T H e a s s O C i a T e D P R e s sST. LOUIS - The secret is out on T.J. Oshie,

who showed the world at the Sochi Olympics he’s perfected the art of the shootout.

He’s among nine Olympians who’ve rejoined a top contender that doesn’t overly rely on razzle-dazzle.

The St. Louis Blues are in prime position for the NHL stretch drive. They lack star power, with no one among the top 25 scorers, but are second overall in the Western Conference and atop the Central Division entering the re-start Wednesday at Vancouver.

“It’s really going to be like coming out of the lockout where everybody is full-tilt and every point means something down the stretch,” said Fruitvale native Barret Jackman.

The City of Trail is losing one of its long-time fixtures at the Trail Memorial Centre as Georgina Jamieson is retiring as the manager and ice technician at the Trail Curling Centre. The Centre will host an open house today from 4-7:30 p.m. celebrating Jamieson’s 14 years of scraping and cleaning the ice, and keeping it in tip-top shape for the many league games, bonspiels, Zones, and B.C. Championships.

FoR the RecoRdIn Tuesday’s Trail Times, the final stand-

ings for the top Kootenay International Junior Hockey League scorers (Page 12) incorrectly identified Jamie Vlanich as a member of the Beaver Valley Nitehawks. Vlanich plays for the Nelson Leafs.

B y T i m e s s T a f fThe skips took a day

off at Retirees Men’s Curling action earlier

this week. In the closest

match of the day, the Clare Coleman rink pulled off an unlikely comeback against the Coke Koyanagi four-some. Trailing by two going into the eighth end with hammer, team Coleman came up with a big end, scoring three for the 8–7 victory.

Team Handley jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first end over Team Walsh, but Walsh stormed back and scored 10 over the next six ends, to roll to a 10-5 win.

Team Brett Rakuson took on Team Tom Hall and it was a low scoring first five ends. In the sixth, a stellar takeout by Jamie Forbes through a tight offset port lead to a steal of two on the way to a 11-2 drub-bing.

In a back-and-forth game that featured steals in four ends, Team Pat Fennell duelled with team Forrest Drinnan.

The turning point was a steal of three in the fourth end by team Fennell to go up 5-3. They’d steal another one in the fifth on their way to the 8–6 final.

Skips step back

FROM PAGE 11 “It’s going to be about the mental focus com-ing back and being the team that doesn’t crack in those one-goal games.”

The next few months, they’ll be working on solidifying their position and prov-ing they belong against other powers in the conference. They’re 3-0

against the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks, but 1-2 against the Kings, 0-3 against the Sharks and 0-2 against the Ducks. The Sharks have out-scored them 16-7, the Ducks 8-4.

The blueprint for success is a defence that’s allowed the second-fewest goals. Jaroslav Halak and

Brian Elliott have com-bined for seven shut-outs aided by strong support and willing shot blockers through-out the defense.

The Blues must regain their stride quickly after the break with 12 games in 22 days and never more than one day of rest. They’ve played the fewest games in the

Western Conference and have three games in hand on the Ducks, first overall, and Blackhawks, who like St. Louis have 84 points.

“We came through

some injuries, sick-ness, like a lot of teams have gone through,” Jackman said. “But we’re still one of the top teams in the league and that’s a pretty good feeling.”

Blues look to get back on track after break

Leisure

Dear Annie: I’m livid. My 14-year-old daughter and her friends want to see a certain PG-13 movie on Saturday. But after I read the reviews, I will not allow her to go. Why does the film industry produce mov-ies with words and scenes that are such filth?

We want movies for our children that have decent content and tell stories that have val-ues and drama without us parents always hav-ing to worry that what will be said or shown is contrary to what we want our children exposed to. Can’t some great producer or film school graduate figure that out? They would be surprised to know how many parents no longer allow their kids to go to the movies, and that means no money in their pock-ets.

Please, let’s protect their innocence as long as possible before they have to see the world’s

ugliness passed off as entertainment. -- Mom

Dear Mom: If all kids truly stayed away from PG-13 movies that con-tained too much vio-lence, sex and foul lan-guage, change would come. Unfortunately, that’s not what hap-pens. Your daughter and her friends might stay home, but most kids don’t.

We, too, wish Hollywood would stop pandering to our most base instincts, but as long as the money keeps coming in, that’s what is going to be out there. The only mov-ies guaranteed not to have such material are those rated G and PG. Beyond that, parents

have to read reviews and use their best judgment.

Dear Annie: My par-ents, who were both from West Virginia, met in college and settled in New York. We spent our child-hood summers on our grandparents’ farms, and I couldn’t wait to go back. I work now as a special education teacher and live in a small village in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Every summer, my sisters and I get together in New York. Last summer, we met at the home of one sis-ter who married into wealth. Although I have been ignoring her occasional criticisms about my hair, makeup, clothes and shoes for decades, this summer was particularly diffi-cult. Late in the even-ing, she began a long satirical monologue about how cheap and ugly my shoes were. A few of the others chimed in, but I don’t hold it against them.

They were doing it to avoid being her next target. After all, they live near her and have to endure her ostenta-tious behavior often. I couldn’t wait to leave.

I value family, espe-cially now that we are older and two of my siblings have passed away. But I’m begin-ning to wonder. By the time I leave these gatherings, I feel dis-respected and dimin-ished. I have close friends in West Virginia who love and value me. I’m wondering whether I should bow out of these summer reunions and limit my exposure to Christmas only. -- Thank God I’m a Country Girl

Dear Country Girl: You certainly don’t have to subject your-self to such poor treat-ment frequently, but have you told your sister how her belit-tling comments make you feel? She may not realize how much she is hurting you and that her nastiness destroys

the family closeness you crave. She may claim that she was “only joking,” but still, give her the opportun-ity to clean up her act before you take drastic action.

Dear Annie: “Tired of Living the Lie” states that her children are

hurt because they feel their happy childhood was a lie. It WAS a lie. I am sick of hearing how people put up with a lousy marriage for “the sake of their children.” You do your children a far greater disservice by raising them in a dysfunctional, loveless

facade of a marriage than you would rais-ing them as a single parent.

You need to cher-ish, love and honor yourself before you even think of finding another man. Don’t quit counseling. -- I Moved On
