WARFIELD
Council hears from residents
B Y S H E R I R E G N I E RTimes Staff
A novel way to stay fit, lack of road signage, and taking action on toxic fumes are on Warfield council's to-do list after the Wednesday night regular meeting.
The village's new council ran on a cam-paign of transparency and increasing community engagement. The message must have been heard by voters because seats were filled in chambers as four individuals went before the panel (Coun. Tom Milne was absent) with matters that ranged from positive, potentially dangerous and down-right unhealthy for residents of Warfield.
First up was grade school teacher Nate Lott. His proposal involves youth participation in a trail building project near J.L. Webster Elementary School. Rachel Jansen from WaVES (Warfield Village Enhancement Society) was on hand to support his request.
Lott, is part of a Rossland company called D.I.G., Design Innovate Grow, that builds sus-tainable multi-use trails throughout the region. In Warfield, he asked council to consider desig-nating a plot of land just off Forrest Drive called Beaver Bend, to construct a 30-x-80-foot pump track.
A pump track is a small looping trail system of dirt berms and “rollers,” which are smooth dirt mounds designed for bicycling without the rider pedalling. The name comes from the pumping motion used by the cyclist's upper and lower body as they ride around the track. The purpose of the track is to use the pumping motion to maintain speed around the track without pedal-ling.
“It's a track that has become quite popular in local communities because of the small amount of space it uses,” explained Lott.
He said revitalizing the unused park space with a pump track build would provide leader-ship opportunities, problem solving strategies, and build teamwork skills with the community's younger members.
Warfield Mayor Ted Pahl noted that during the village's recent youth forum, the majority of attendees were in favour of a pump track for recreation.
“I talked with the grade 6 and 7 classes at Webster today,” Lott added. “And there was an expression of interest from 21 youth.”
While council considers the idea, the group will actively apply for grant money, said Lott.
“We are looking at doing this over two weeks, from June 1 to June 15,” he clarified.

TIMES ARE A CHANGING
SHERI REGNIER PHOTO
Pocketwatches have been around longer than Daylight Savings Time Day which is Sunday – when clocks are set one hour ahead. Paul Durkin from Lauener Bros Jewellers in downtown Trail sets a new version of the classic watch, which has been around since the 16th century. The practice of turning clocks one hour ahead of standard time first began in Europe during the First World War. The idea was to take advantage of the longest summer days by gaining an extra hour of daylight and shorten-ing the days in winter.

The Trail Historical Society has kind-ly offered photos and stories related to the history of Trail.
Fifty years ago, one of Trail’s down-town landmarks was demolished. The Douglas Hotel was situated on the north-east corner of Pine Avenue and Farwell Street, where Valu Office Supplies now sits. Constructed in 1925 by Evelyn Lawson Groutage (who would eventually sit on Council from 1931-33 and become Mayor in 1934-1935 and 1938-39), the Douglas Hotel was a two-storey estab-lishment with a corniced flat roof and several small verandas.
In those days, the railroad tracks crossed through the intersection of Pine and Farwell running to the CPR depot, which sat across the street from The Douglas (where Ferraro Foods now sits).
Not only a hotel catering to Trail’s
transient workforce and visitors, The Douglas also boasted well-furnished apartments.
Many newcomers to Trail resided in these apartments while in search of permanent residences in town.
As a devout Baptist, it was well-known that Mr. Groutage refused to permit the sale or consumption of alcohol on his premises. Prior to his days as a hotelier, Mr. Groutage opened and operated City Bakery on Cedar Avenue, across the alley from The Douglas, eventually selling to the Merlo family. A prominent busi-ness man, Mr. Groutage was a respected member of the community until his departure from Trail. He made his way to Victoria in 1940, where he eventually passed away in 1961.
The building was purchased amidst the hectic days of progress in the mid-
1960s under the helm of Mayor Joe Palyga.
In 1963, the CPR tracks were removed from Rossland Avenue and the downtown core, rendering the station at Cedar and Farwell impractical. At the end of 1964, Super-Valu purchased the Douglas Hotel property with the intention of leveling it and making a parking lot for the new supermarket it constructed in 1965 replacing the CPR station. The St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church was built next to The Douglas site that year and paving projects were on the go throughout the city.
At the time of its closure, 60 tenants called the Douglas Hotel home.

FROM PAGE 1“We’d like to do it sooner, but that is
the timeline for the grants. And there will be an official opening when the track is finished.”
Coun. Brett Rakuson mentioned that the Beaver Bend gulley does have drainage issues, while Vince Morelli, Warfield’s chief administrative officer, confirmed some of the property in the proximity is privately owned.
“So we will have to look closely at that,” Morelli added.
Next up, council considered the pur-chase of a newer model diesel tank for Warfield public works following a presen-tation by a representative from Benson & Son Ltd. The village’s older model tank leaked and was recently disposed, so coun-cil is exploring replacement with a fully contained slightly used unit for $2,200.
Third to the table was Dan Weeks, an upper bench resident, who brought his road safety concerns before council. He’s been a Warfield resident for five years, and in that time witnessed increased traf-fic along Whitman Way, close calls and two accidents outside his Gordon Avenue home.
With only one traffic sign being a “Yield” at the junction where Whitman Way meets Dickens Street, Gordon Avenue and well-used road he calls “toboggan hill”, Weeks suggested that council seriously consider installing two more stop signs.
His primary concern is for the Warfield children who cross onto the dirt road as a short cut to school in the morning and as a path home in the afternoon.
“I see cars come flying down Whitman Way and I see the kiddies crossing the street with their packs,” he explained. “I feel we need to change the yield sign to a stop sign and add a stop sign at Dickens.”
Weeks noted that last summer when crews were working on Schofield Highway,
traffic increased through Whitman Way and into the upper bench as drivers avoid-ed traffic delays along the main drag.
“It’s a pretty dicey hill at any time,” he said. “But when they were working on Schofield, people came through Whitman much faster as the kids were coming up the hill.”
He said neighbours concur that there has to be traffic safety improvements at the junction.
“If it saves us a catastrophe then it’s well worth it,” Weeks added.
Council agreed to investigate the mat-ter as a priority. Pending its decision, the next step would be for the Warfield offi-cials to pass a resolution that additional stop signs be installed at the site, Morelli clarified.
Additionally, Weeks requested council to ensure that chains are installed on the
village’s new snowplow next season follow-ing an incident on his front lawn when the vehicle lost control on ice.
Last up, was a group of citizens who reside behind Warfield’s Fas Gas Plus. They spoke about the stench, noxious smoke and serious health-related effects the neighbourhood has experienced this winter when the business fires up its waste oil furnace.
“It is not only an environmental trav-esty but a health hazard,” said Tammy Hill.
Hill said people are reporting burning eyes, nausea and headaches related to the smoke emitting from the Fas Gas stack. She presented council a letter from the regional hospital’s chief of staff stating that the smoke is particularly dangerous to Hill’s son.
“My special needs son has a compro-mised immune system and cannot be
subjected to such an unhealthy environ-ment. And my concern is for other people, the elderly and children, who are the most vulnerable.”
Two representatives from Fas Gas attended the meeting and said the $20,000 waste oil furnace has been heating the site’s shop for two years. They said this is the first year there has been complaints but conceded there was smoke and the emission smell is unpleasant. However, with the mild climate, they said the fur-nace would be off by next week.
Coun. Shane Ferraro questioned if the oil furnace was running optimally and requested the gas station to not use the furnace until the village is provided docu-mentation of inspection.
“Have someone in there to optimize the furnace in the off season,” he said. “These people have some very valid points and if this keeps coming up we are going to have to take action.”
The Fas Gas reps assured council the business would take measures to ensure the furnace was running properly.
Backing up the group’s smoke-related concerns was a Forrest Drive resident who works as a government air quality techni-cian.
He confirmed that the Ministry of Environment and the regional environ-mental office in Nelson have received numerous complaints in the last month over the smoke and odour emitting from the Fas Gas furnace.
The atypical winter has lead to stagnant air quality conditions across the region, explained Chris Marsh.
“We have had these issues of this sort in the past,” he said. “I am here as a resource for council and the village and would like to help you work through this.”
The village is currently seeking legal advice, Morelli told the Trail Times Thursday morning.

Fast moving traffic, children crossing and the lack of signage at an Upper Warfield junc-tion are safety concerns that a resident brought to village council Wednesday evening. On behalf of the neighbourhood, the citizen asked Warfield officials to consider install-ing two more stop signs, one at Whitman Way, and one at the top of Dickens Street.

A lot of people think there's big money involved in selling spirits, says a local liquor store owner. But this area is already saturated with licenced outlets, so changing the provincial rules probably won't have much local impact.
Roy Benedict, owner of an Annable private liquor store, was referring to the BC government's “lottery” for private liquor stores that may want to move their operations to grocery stores.
All applicants asking for a supermarket locale have until March 27 to be placed in the lot-tery, before licensees are drawn at random. But there's one cave-at that's particularly relevant in Trail and smaller communities
like Rossland or Fruitvale. The new grocery store location can-not be within one kilometre of an existing liquor outlet.
Another important aspect that narrows the scope, is the grocery store must be over 10,000-square feet and 75 per cent of sales must be food-related.
“Down the coast where you have millions of people around this could make a difference,” said Benedict. “But not so much around here because we are a long way from that and not a driving force by anyone's imagi-nation. And if they think they are, other than zinc or lead, then they are fooling themselves,” he chuckled.
Within Trail, the only grocery store that could potentially qual-ify for a liquor store would be No
Frills at Waneta Plaza.While there are no imme-
diate plans at that site, in an email reply, Loblaws public rela-tions confirmed the company is interested in the opportunity to enhance the shopping experience with the addition of liquor retail-ing within B.C. stores.
Loblaws says liquor retail within its stores could increase convenience and is a natural tie with many of the stores' product, and could help round out its goal to “put great meals at great value on the tables of Canadians.”
No new liquor licences are being handed out, so with the existing relocation parameters, impact to other local businesses will probably be minimal for now.
There is another change com-ing down the pike, however, that
could affect the spirit retailers.Wine on grocery shelves is
next on the province's list of growing B.C.'s viticulture indus-try. New licences will be issued allowing 100 per cent B.C. pro-duced wines to be sold in food markets.
And there's no caveat attached, meaning no one-kilometre rule.
But even this model could be a challenge in our area, says Benedict.
“Maybe a store that is already staffed could have a wine store within,” he noted. “But if anyone is thinking they are going to buy a (wine) licence and pay staff to look after that specific area, there really isn't enough busi-ness here to pay for that staff and other costs.
“That's why I work in here
all the time,” said Benedict, referring to his liquor outlet that's attached to Benedict's Steakhouse and Tunnel Pub. “Because there just isn't enough volume to warrant extra staff.”
Ben de Jager, owner of Columbia Gardens Vineyard & Winery sees a positive, being that local wines could garner a larger audience through food markets. But he also voiced concern that the province's larger wineries could have an edge over the rural vintners.
“Grocery store owners will probably only stock four or five varieties, or suppliers,” he said. “Meaning, that could shut out the smaller guys. But I still say this change will opens doors and for those of us in B.C., we have an opportunity in our hands.”
Liquor changes more likely to impact large cities than rural communities

The B.C. govern-ment is tightening its regulations to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors and use of the smok-ing substitute in work-places, restaurants and other indoor public spaces.
Health Minister Terry Lake said chan-ges he introduced in the B.C. legislature Thursday will treat the battery-powered
devices like tobacco products, mean-ing they may not be displayed in stores or used in enclosed spaces where others are present. That will include private vehi-cles with children inside.
Lake said he expects the new regulations to be in effect within a year, after consult-ing with the industry and giving sellers time to adjust to the new rules.
“This doesn’t ban e-cigarettes,” Lake said. “This means that children are protect-ed from the sale and from being exposed to e-cigarettes, and those who don’t want to be subjected to the vapours from e-ciga-
rettes are protected as well.
“Essentially the same conditions that now apply to tobacco will apply to e-ciga-rettes, so in public places, indoor work-places, school grounds and now health authorities as well.”
Lake said e-ciga-rettes may have poten-tial as a quit-smoking aid, but they are cur-rently unregulated and the liquid used in them
may contain nicotine or other chemicals with health risks. The federal government has banned the sale of so-called “e-juice” containing nicotine, but it remains legal in the U.S. and Health Canada has received numerous reports that it is sold north of the border as well.
NDP health critic Judy Darcy said she supports the restric-tion on e-cigarettes, but the lack of meas-ures to prohibit fla-voured tobacco prod-ucts is “a gaping hole” in the government’s bill.
Lake said he has been assured by federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose that federal regulations are in the works to deal with fla-voured tobacco.
“When you’re talk-ing about the manu-facture of cigars and cigarettes, it’s better to do that at a federal level, because obvious-ly they’re not made in each individual prov-ince,” Lake said.

B y c r a i g l i n d s a yGrand Forks GazetteCannaFest 2015, a
two-day festival fea-turing music from the likes of Prism, the Headpins and Foreigner frontman Lou Gramm, is com-ing to Grand Forks.
At the regular council meeting on Feb. 23, council voted to support the event after the promoter addressed some of the original concerns from council.
“I think it should be noted that origin-ally when Mr. Varabioff presented to us with a request for CannaFest 2015 music festival, it was advertised as an educational event to promote and edu-cate on medical mari-juana and have a dis-penser on site where they would be selling
it,” said Coun. Chris Hammett.
“They have since been refused an appli-cation and have come back and said there would be no sales of medical marijuana at the event at all.
“He has also said there will be no liquor at the event on the grounds.”
The letter to coun-cil from promoter Chuck Varabioff of the BC Pain Society stat-ed that no marijuana would be sold at the festival. He would not change the name of the festival.
“I can live with no marijuana sales, but to change the name would be extremely dif-ficult as we are trying to brand ‘CannaFest’ into a household name,” he wrote.
Varabioff also stated that ticket sales would be capped at 3,000 and that there would be one security guard for every 10 attendees.
“Because he has conformed to council’s request that nothing illegal will take place and that it will just be a musical and educa-tional event—I make a motion we accept his request and allow him to proceed,” said Hammett.
The motion was approved unanimously by council.
CAO Doug Allin said that the festival would still need to satisfy all the requests which the city makes of field users for spe-cial events.
Tickets for the event are already available on the bcpainsociety.com website for $50 for a single day pass and $75 for a two-day pass. Kids 6-12 are $25 for both days; kids under 6 are free. Tickets are also available locally at The Source and Kocomo’s Coffee House as of this Saturday.
The show will be held at James Donaldson Park on Aug. 7 and 8 and features Prism, Streetheart, Headpins, Lou Gramm from Foreigner, Jerry Doucette, Lee Aaron and Franklins Dealers.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SEDMONTON -
Premier Jim Prentice has stirred up a whirl-wind of anger by say-ing Albertans need to “look in the mirror” if they want to know who is responsible for the province’s fiscal mess.
The Twitter hashtag Prentice-BlamesAlbertans went viral Thursday with a torrent of sarcasm, memes and outrage, and was a top trender in Canada for a time.
NDP Leader Rachel Notley demanded Prentice and his four-decade-old Progressive Conservative govern-ment publicly apolo-gize for “profoundly insulting” Albertans.
“These guys have been at the controls. These guys are the ones that have made the decisions. It’s their decisions that have put us here,” said Notley.
“How dare they blame the families who are struggling to make ends meet under the circumstances that these folks have created. When you’ve been in government for 43 years, the least you can do is take responsibility for what you’ve done.”
W i l d r o s e Opposition Leader Heather Forsyth also demanded Prentice apologize.
“It is his govern-
ment who overspent by over $40 billion for the past decade” said Forsyth.
“It is his govern-ment that has failed to ensure we could with-stand $50 oil. It is his government that has made Alberta’s polit-icians and government the most expensive in Canada.”
Prentice’s office did not respond to a request for comment.
The controversy
ignited after Prentice spoke about the fis-cal crisis the prov-ince faces on a CBC radio call-in show Wednesday.
“In terms of who is responsible we all need only look in the mirror,” he said. “Collectively, we got into this as Albertans and collectively we’re going to get out of it.”
The Twitter world responded with a viral vengeance.
Tweets had Prentice sarcastically blaming Albertans for every-thing from the demise of the dinosaurs to the play call that cost the Seattle Seahawks the Super Bowl.
One tweet noted that Prentice was
blaming Albertans for “getting sick and requiring an educa-tion.”
Others said Prentice was correct, given that Albertans have voted to keep the Progressive Conservative party in power since 1971.

Canada has dipped to its lowest level in a quarter century, revealing a struc-tural issue that could prove difficult to reverse, says a new study by CIBC.
The big bank (TSX:CM) said Thursday its employment quality index, which slipped 1.8 per cent last year, was down 15 per cent since the early 1990s.
The index examines the distribution of full- and part-time positions, the gap between self-employment and the high-er-quality jobs for paid employees, and whether full-time jobs were created in low-, medium- or high-paying sectors.
The study found that since the late 1980s the number of part-time positions climbed much faster compared with the higher-quality full-time gigs. On the bright side, it said the number of full-time jobs increased at twice the speed of part-time jobs over the past year.
However, the damage to full-time work during each recession was largely permanent, the study added.
Over roughly the same period, the
number of self-employed jobs, generally considered lower quality because they usually pay less, also rose more quickly than salaried positions. For 2014, CIBC found the number of self-employed pos-itions increased four times faster than paid employment.
By sector, the bank said the number of low-paying positions had increased faster than higher-paid jobs since the early 1990s.
Taken together, the long-term trends suggest the deterioration in job qual-ity is more of a structural issue than a cyclical one, wrote Benjamin Tal, CIBC’s deputy chief economist.
“Our measure of employment quality has been on a clear downward trajectory over the past 25 years,” wrote Tal, the report’s author.
He argued it’s unlikely the Bank of Canada would be able to address these issues by moving the dial on its primary monetary-policy tool.
“The Bank of Canada’s prescribed remedy of low and lower interest rates might not cure what ails the labour
market,” Tal wrote.The Bank of Canada has made repeat-
ed warnings in recent months about the state of the job market.
Last month, deputy governor Carolyn Wilkins said in a speech that the econ-omy was about 270,000 jobs short of its full capacity at the end of 2014.
Wilkins pointed to several areas of concern, including how more than one in four part-time workers would prefer full-time jobs.
She also said the participation rate of the country’s prime-age workers - between 25 and 54 years old - fell sub-stantially in 2014 and that the average length of unemployment was 21 weeks, near its height from the recession in 2008-09.
In its January monetary policy report, the Bank of Canada highlighted stub-born problems in the job market, argu-ing long-term unemployment continued to hover close to its “post-crisis peak.”
The central bank also found the aver-age number of hours worked remained low.

OPINION
New Rossland council tackles spending issuesDespite the fact
that the elec-tion was back in November, the
Rossland Council still feels new. By its very nature, municipal govern-ance requires a significant learning curve.
I am pleased to see how fast the new Rossland councillors have taken to the work.
The people of Rossland brought back one incum-bent (me, but in the new role of mayor) one mem-ber who is returning after a hiatus of six years, and five brand new, energetic and smart “newbies”.
We are thriving in our roles and develop-ing into a good team. We are able to express our differences in respectful and constructive ways. With the installation of a rotating art program and the occasional poem to start off our meetings, the atmosphere of Council Chambers is both creative and collegial.
Like all local govern-ments we were required to dive right into our financial planning pro-cess. Talk about a trial
by fire! This is one of the most complicated respon-sibilities councils must address every year. Our most important task is to understand where and how to spend taxpayer money so that we achieve the best value for every dollar.
Like all municipalities we are faced with aging infrastructure and rising costs.
And, like all other newly elected councils we want to leave our com-munity a better place than when we took office.
Council has been lis-tening carefully to the concerns of Rossland residents and businesses. Council and staff finalized the priorities for this year within the context of the serious financial challen-ges facing the City.
The following initia-tives are included in Council’s strategy for ensuring Rossland’s viability. They will deter-mine the tax rates, quality of services, good manage-ment, staff work plans and good governance. Council priorities, many of which are now underway, are:
• Review and establish fees, taxes and charges that are competitive with comparable communities.
• Invest in specific road, water and sewer projects critically neces-sary to keep the city func-tioning well.
• Establish a robust reporting system for all significant capital projects to ensure proper oversight and accountability.
• Continuous process improvement of selected services to increase qual-ity of service and reduce costs.
• Complete proper business planning for our facilities.
• Address staffing issues.
• Negotiate equit-
able access for recreation facilities.
• Analyze the value of Rossland’s land and build-ing assets with the object-ives of increasing revenue, improving services, and reducing costs.
• Prepare a model pro-curement bylaw to ensure purchases are made in best interests of taxpayer.
These are only some of the many responsibilities the City needs to address; however, every organiza-tion needs to set prior-ities.
These priorities reflect both resident and finan-cial viability concerns. Rossland Council has begun a regular com-munication program that seeks to share information about City activities and obtain input from citizens on municipal matters.
Public engagement is an important component of our long-term plan. In our first effort to get input for our financial plan and priorities, we heard from over 300 residents. This is a huge improvement over the traditionally low turnout for the quite dull public input sessions of
the past.Establishing good
working relationships with the other local may-ors and councils in the Lower Columbia area has been particularly reward-ing.
We are all stronger together and creating open communication and cooperation is a ter-rific first step. Rossland Council is off to a good start, with ambitious plans and high hopes of success; our enthusiasm is only tempered by the fiscal challenges we face and understanding that meaningful change takes time.
Kathy Moore is the Mayor of the City of Rossland.

As Salmo has been gener-ally cast in such a negative light as of late, I felt the need to write to clarify a few points.
Not everything in Salmo has a negative spin. Salmo has many dedicated volunteers who ensure the smooth oper-ations of our ski hill, curling club, community events and organizations, children’s and youth programs, and count-less family events.
Also, Salmo’s former coun-cil, although they’ve been blamed for the problems of the world, were also dedicat-ed community members who gave numerous hours of their own time and energy to the governance of the village.
This included several newly paved roads through the municipality, a new state-of-the-art medical clinic, agreements with environ-mental and local government groups, emergency manage-ment plans, capital asset man-agement plans, major infra-structure upgrades, and a new municipal office.
Finally, if you listen to the radio interviews and council meetings, you’d think the pre-vious staff and council had done nothing but run Salmo into the ground. While most of the Salmo residents are aware that this is a fallacy, what is the rest of the world thinking of Salmo?
As a previous member of
council, I have taken an oath to be silent on land, legal and labour issues, and I take this oath very seriously. But, it’s not a fair playing field to have shots taken at those who can-not defend themselves as a result of this oath.
And, I’d like to clarify the points that have been broad-cast. Salmo did not, nor has ever had, numerous “law-suits.”
There were only two pend-ing at the time of the election, one of which the new mayor has settled, seemingly over lunch at a local restaurant, as observed by many residents.
There is now another law-suit, however it is a result of the new council’s actions, not the former council.
Let’s also take a look at the financial services agreement with the City of Nelson - this agreement was intended to streamline processes, ensure reporting compliance for the ever-growing requirements and provide access to those with the proper professional designations without the cost of a full time accountant on staff.
However, at a public meet-ing prior to the election, the now mayor stood up and told everyone that this agreement was “illegal,” and he went so far as to say he’d spoken with an individual from the City of Nelson financial ser-
vices office. He even gave her name! You can imagine our shock, and hers, when she was informed and responded with the fact that she had never heard of this man, let alone had spoken with him.
This was also in the midst of the now Mayor’s predic-tions of a “financial crisis,” although a quick look at any of the financial statements, which are very public, and anyone can see a different and true story, in that the muni-cipality has been responsibly managed.
There is more than one side to the recent radio interviews, even though they’re not pro-vided nor asked for.
Salmo is a great commun-ity to raise your children in, commute to or from, or retire in, despite the new “leader-ship.”
It would be prudent for those residing in Salmo for such a short time to famil-iarize themselves with the history and achievements of long standing community members prior to throwing their name on the election ballot in an effort to fix the misconceived problems. To all residents, of any community, please involve yourself in local politics to find the true stor-ies, rather than trying to turn the rumours into facts!

It’s not all negative in Salmo
T h e C a n a d i a n P r e s sVANCOUVER - An inflam-
matory tweet that appeared on TSN has served as a reminder that while social media may appear to be a lawless land filled with snark, vitriol and half-truths, it’s also subject to the same scrutiny — and libel laws — as newspapers or tele-vision.
And, legal experts say, public figures are becoming increas-ingly savvy about shutting down the online rumour mill.
TSN apologized earlier this week after a tweet from a fan about Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf, his wife Elisha Cuthbert and forward Joffrey Lupul ran on a live crawl at the bottom of the screen during Monday’s NHL trade deadline show.
The apology followed a legal threat from a lawyer repre-senting Phaneuf, Cuthbert and Lupul.
“That’s the main goal: you want to just end the story,” said the trio’s lawyer, Peter Gall. “There’s just no truth to it.”
Gall threatened legal action this week against the network and the tweeter, Anthony Adragna.
The network said the tweet
was broadcast despite protocols to prevent inappropriate social media posts from making it to air, though they haven’t explained how the offending post made it onto live TV. TSN has said it will no longer air public tweets during live cover-age.
Gall said Phaneuf and Cuthbert had grown familiar with “outrageous” false state-ments being made about them online, but seeing them broad-cast on TSN was the final straw.
“You can’t sue everybody who says something to you for defamation, but there reaches a point where you just have to do something. That point was reached once it was re-published on TSN,” he said.
While TSN already apolo-gized, Gall said he’s hopeful he will also reach a resolution with Adragna’s lawyer soon. Adragna did not immediately respond to requests for com-ment on Twitter, but he has since deleted the post.
Defamation lawyer Peter Downard stressed that the same libel test applies every-where, even on Twitter. If a rea-sonable person could consider a statement to be damaging to another’s reputation, then it
can be the subject of a defama-tion lawsuit.
Downard said a defama-tion lawsuit can be successful whether a tweet is seen by 100 people or 1 million.
“People have to understand that when they are publish-ing on the Internet, through whatever type of Internet com-munication, they’re publishing to the world at large,” he said.
“They can hurt people and they can be held responsible for that. It’s not the Wild West. It’s not a situation where they can act with impunity.”
Downard said defamation cases involving tweets were not rare at this point, as he had been involved in several. But he said most tend to be resolved outside the court system, with an apology or removal of the offending material.
The fact that there’s a lot of insane libelling going on on the Internet isn’t a defence if somebody who is targeted by your tweet decides to take you on in court,” he said.
“You can’t say, ‘Well, there are a thousand other people publishing a thousand other defamatory tweets every hour.’ That isn’t going to be a defence.”
TSN tweet shows social media no Wild West

Good hearing, poor comprehension?� e number of people who can hear well, but can’t understand what’s being said, is increasing. � is is most evident in conversations and watching television. A newly-developed hearing chip is designed to restore speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.
A lot of people have poor comprehension, though they actually still hear well. It becomes noticeable in conversation, watching television and asking family to repeat what’s been said. A potential cause can be undetected loss in the high-frequency range. � is means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the high-frequency range makes speech sound mu� ed and unclear. � e person with hearing loss mixes up, or can no longer hear, consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is particularly impaired when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. � e dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not
consider themselves to have a hearing problem. � ey can hear deep tones with no issue, and o� en put di� culty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying.
A new hearing chip has beendeveloped.
Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that restores speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. First, a hearing test
Ginette van Wijngaarden, at Connect Hearing, advises people with hearing loss on the new hearing chip, together with her colleagues.
and speech comprehension analysis is done. Where inner-ear damage is present, a so� ware program analyzes the di� erence relative to normal hearing. � ese values are then input into the new Venture hearing chip in the Audéo V, which precisely takes into account and balances the frequency range of the person being tested. � e test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. � e chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and ampli� es only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. � anks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this signi� cantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SV a n c o u v e r
broadcaster Fred Latremouille, whose affable voice was once the first thing thou-sands of people woke up to every morning, has died. He was 69.
Latremouille was a fixture on the city’s radio scene from the 1980s to 2007 as he moved to various sta-tions, bringing his fans with him.
After retiring, Latremouille spent time in Hawaii and then settled in Scotsdale, Ariz., where he died at his
home Thursday after a brief illness.
Latremouille began his radio career in Peace River, Alta., when he was 16 and went on to work in television as an actor and weatherman.
He won several awards for his advertis-ing genius, is a mem-ber of the Canadian Broadcasters Hall of Fame, and has a star on the B.C. Walk of Fame.
In the mid-1980s, Latremouille made a name for himself in the morning slot at CFUN, where traf-
fic reporter Cathy Baldazzi joined him as co-host and later become his wife.
The pair then took their Latremornings show to KISS FM as legions of fans of the duo, who were known for their wit and laid-back style, followed them to their new home on the dial.
Cathy Latremouille said her husband’s tal-ent, his amazing way of finding humour in anything and his abil-
ity to connect with his audience gave him staying power for five decades.
“Fred and I met on the radio and enjoyed 35 years together as a team both on and off the air,” she said in a statement.
In 2006, after six years of living part-time in Hawaii, the couple returned to the airwaves, again on a morning show, but this time on Clear-FM, where they worked for
a year before retir-ing.
L a t r e m o u i l l e was also known for his charity work, including the annual Christmas Wish Breakfast, which had the couple broadcast-ing from a hotel where listeners dropped off gifts for needy kids.
Latremouille is survived by his wife, his mother, step-fath-er, sisters, brothers and many nieces and nephews.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SAs Canadians prepare to set
their clocks ahead an hour this weekend for the start of day-light time, chronically sleep-deprived people could be hit hard by the change.
“If you’re getting five to six hours of sleep regularly as an adult instead of what’s recom-mended - the seven to eight hours - then you’re going to suffer a bit more when you have one less hour of sleep than you would if someone who has more regular sleep schedul-ing,” said Dr. Reshma Amin, a pediatric respirologist and sleep physician at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.
The timing in the brain is also affected by the transition, said Dr. Charles Samuels, med-ical director of the Centre for Sleep and Human Performance in Calgary.
“Not only do we lose an hour of sleep on that Saturday-to-Sunday transition, but when you wake up at 7 a.m. if that’s your wake-up time, it is really in your brain 6 a.m., so there are two reasons for your brain to be tired in the morning.
“While we would generally
say a one-hour displacement really isn’t a big deal and it’s easy to overcome, it’s that one weekend of the time change and the Monday morning seems to be where the biggest impact is.”
Teens are also often affected by the “spring forward” time change.
Through puberty, some develop what’s described as a delayed sleep phase, meaning they become night owls. Added to that, they have to get up ear-lier from the brain’s perspec-tive, making them feel really tired, Samuels explained.
It’s more effective for teens to include naps in their routine as opposed to long sleeps which are counterproductive, he said.
For children who are a little more reliant on routine and sleep, Amin recommends a gradual shift in bedtime and wake-up time for a few days ahead of the time change.
So if you typically go to bed at 11 o’clock, roll the clock back in 15-minute intervals each night until you’ve totalled the time equivalent to what will be lost.
“It’s going to be easier for you to make that switch from 11 to 10:45 than it is to go from 11 to 10,” said Amin.
As well as getting more
sleep leading up to the time change, Samuels said individ-uals shouldn’t try to stay up late during the weekend.
“Everybody should just chill out and not party heavily, go to bed at a reasonable time because it’s a cumulative effect. It’s very hard to recover that sleep debt once you add to it.”
Once adjusted to the time change, it’s important to stick to slumber routines, said Jennifer Garden, founder of Sleepdreams, a Vancouver-based company specializing in sleep consultations for chil-dren.
Key is good sleep hygiene, which includes creating an environment conducive to shut-eye - like resting in a cool, dark room.
“When you’re falling asleep, there’s a bunch of physiological changes that happen in order to get you off to sleep,” said Garden. “The first one is your body temperature cools. And so if your room is too hot, it can’t get down to the temperature it needs in order to fall asleep properly.”
Garden said the optimal condition for sleep is from 16 to 19 C. The idea is to stay two to three degrees cooler than what most people consider to be room temperature.

By Jim BaileyTimes Sports Editor
The Trail Smoke Eaters wrapped up their 2014-15 season last week, missing the BCHL playoff for the fourth straight year, nevertheless, there is room for opti-mism for the upcoming season.
The Smoke Eaters started the year with a major house cleaning and a big question mark, as Coach and GM Nick Deschenes traded or released most of last year’s eligible returning players, then scouted ‘out of the box,’ recruiting a number of unknown players from eastern leagues, or trading for character veterans like Harlan Orr.
“We swung for the fences and we defin-itely hit some home runs,” said Deschenes. “There is definitely, lots of positives, and there is some lessons to be learned from a coaching perspective and player perspec-tive - all the above - but I’m excited, I think we’re moving in a good direction for sure.”
One of those homers was realized in the first game of the season when a small, unassuming forward named Charlie Zuccarini scored five goals, a preview of things to come for the eventual Arizona State commit. The Smokies got off to a strong start and Smokie fans were con-fident that this year would be the one to climb the standings and garner a pass into the post season.
But just when the future looked bright, the early hopes were eclipsed by a num-ber of unforeseen circumstances. Harvard commit Viktor Dombrovskiy wanted out barely 20 games into the season, and injuries to Adam Todd, Craig Martin, Dallas Calvin, Robbie Johnson, and Bryan Gerstenfeld precipitated a mid-season slump that was impossible to shake off.
The Smokies were playing .500 hockey up until the end of November, 11-11-0-1, but a nine game losing skid in December decided their playoff fate.
For Deschenes, in his second year as coach of the Smokies, the year was an improvement on last season, with an 18 point increase and nearly double the num-ber of wins, despite competing in an Interior division that was especially fierce.
And the season was not without its highlights. The Smokies kicked it off on a high note with the softball game fundraiser for the booster club and spe-cial Olympics, then continued on the ice with a rare win in Powell River, and a come-from-behind overtime victory against Penticton in January. But even more significant was the success of play-ers like Jake Lucchini (Michigan Tech), Zuccarini (Arizona State), Craig Martin (Quinnipiac), and most recently Dallas Calvin (Selkirk College commit).
“Just seeing some of these players hav-ing the seasons that they had, like Charlie and Jake, Marty and Dallas came on strong at the end, for a coach that’s kind of what
you’re hoping for is for players to elevate their games and get opportunities to move on.”
Lucchini’s 35 goals and 83 point total, fourth in the league, is one of the high-est for the Smoke Eaters since Massimo Provenzano won the BCHL scoring title for Trail in 1998. Lucchini is the only Smokie to finish in the top 10 in BCHL scoring in the last 10 years, and was voted Interior division MVP but lost out in the final ballot for league MVP to Corey Mackin of Coquitlam Express earlier this week.
Going forward, the Smoke Eaters should have a solid core of returnees with forwards Orr, Connor Brown-Maloski, Kienan Scott, Max Newton, Johnson, Cooper Leitch, Sheldon Brett, and Jordan Passmore, along with defencemen Jeremy Lucchini, Dexter McLeod, Evan MacEachern, and Stephen Penner, and goaltender Brett Clark eligible to return next year.
“If you look at last year, three players returned and 19 new bodies, so I was going crazy at the super market buying every-thing off the shelf. This year it’s going to be okay, we need two or three here, so lets identify the very best and hit them hard.”
As for local players, the Smoke Eaters also took good looks at Beaver Valley Nitehawk 16-year-old forwards Ross Armour who played six games for Trail as AP, and Spencer McLean who played five.
“As an organization, we always want to work with players who are from this area, and comfortable here, and have that con-nection and it paid off really well this year, so it’s always going to be a priority of ours to hold onto our homegrown talent.”
Deschenes now begins a long summer of recruiting and evaluating beginning with Trail’s spring camp at the Cominco Arena Mar. 27-29, and another scheduled for Whistler May 29-31.
“The decision making process will take a little bit longer, to make sure we hit home runs on every player we bring in, because that’s the reality of Trail getting into the playoffs is we have to have 20 guys that can play the game really well.”
As for lessons learned for what he also described as an underachieving year, the Yale alumnus will make some changes externally and internally for the upcoming season.
“I would restructure our daily routine,” said Deschenes. “I think there needed to be a little more flexibility there. I will also do a little more preparation and planning and systems throughout the offseason, and bring more of a positive approach to my coaching style. It’s different times . . . and we did have better results after Christmas and were very competitive with that kind of an approach, so I obviously want to get better myself, and of course get the most out of our players.”
By Times sTaffThe Glenmerry Bowl
Junior Girls team accom-plished something that hasn’t been done in two decades when they won gold at the B.C. 5-Pin Bowling championship in Surrey on Saturday.
“They won by 19 pins, which is pretty close, it came down to the last frame,” said Glenmerry Bowl’s Ron Sandnes.
“That’s the first junior team that we’ve had win since 1995, 20 years. So it’s really a big step for them.”
Coached by Laurie Flack, the team of Taylor Servatius, Nicole Smith, Maclean Keraiff, and Eliza Dawson bowled lights out throwing a combined total of 2,958 pins to beat out Port Coquitlam Bowl with 2,939. The team now advances to the National
championship in Oshawa and Toronto on May 1-4.
Glenmerry Bowl’s Jacob Plett missed bronze by three pins in senior boys singles, while Castlegar bowler Taylor Stoushnow took silver in senior girls. Beaver Valley Lanes bowler Jordan Bakken won bronze in Bantam boys singles, while Ashley Rubner cap-tured bronze in Junior girls singles.
Glenmerry Bowls junior girls bowling team made up of Taylor Servatius, coach Laurie Flack, Nicole Smith, Maclean Keraiff, and Eliza Dawson won gold at the B.C. 5-Pin Bowling championship in Surrey on Saturday and advance to the Nationals in May.

quest for a third straight British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) championship this weekend as they take on University of Victoria Vikes in a best-of-three series at the Castlegar Rec Complex.
The Saints clinched home ice in the first round by defeating University of Victoria by scores of 7-1 and 6-2 two weeks ago on Vancouver Island. However, those games appeared closer than the final outcome.
“Those victories over the Vikes this month were not easy,” says Saints Head Coach Alex Evin. “They are a hard working team and definitely had their moments to
keep the game within reach. Fortunately for us our special teams were clutch and out goaltender was sharp or it would have been a lot closer.”
The Saints have a 4-0-0 record against the Vikes this season, but every contest has been hard fought and intense. Back in late-November, the Saints came from behind to win in a shootout 5-4. The following after-noon they needed late game heroics to tie the game in the final minute before Lucas Hildebrand scored the winner in overtime.
Faceoff for Game 1 is scheduled for 8 p.m. tonight at the Castlegar Rec Center. with Game 2 at 7 p.m. Saturday, and 5:30 p.m. if necessary on Sunday.

Sports ‘n’ things
Given the ages of the par-ticipants, it is amazing how
teams in the top jun-ior leagues, both A and B levels, step up with discipline when the playoff season arises.
The results almost speak for themselves.
In the first round of the KIJHL playoffs, despite wide dispar-ities in regular season results in some series, there were 19 one-goal games, including nine which went into over-time and a few with empty net add-ons to the score, out of a
total of 38 played. That is, half of all playoff games went down to the wire. There were no series sweeps.
In just 12 BCHL first-round games, there have been six one-goal margins and a couple of other final scores have been impacted by empty net goals. Three games have required over-time.
That evidence speaks to the intensity involved on behalf of all the players taking part. These are, after all, just kids from 16-20 years of age. Solid coaching and player commitment are everywhere to be found at the lower (than the professional CHL) junior levels.
That’s a reason to be a fan, even of under-performing teams, and a special reason to bemoan the fact that even quite talented Smoke Eater teams
have had limited par-ticipation in the post-season opportunities that bring out these kids’ best, recently.
Here’s hoping there may be better tidings ahead in, “Next Year Country.”
If, that is, there is a next year. The Smoke Eaters, albeit suffering from the lack of post season income, actual-ly have higher attend-ance than half of the teams in the BCHL during the regular sea-son.
That has to mean there are several other clubs teetering
on the edge of ruin-ous finances, private ownership or not, and there are also rum-blings in some cities about the amount of public subsidy involved for BCHL franchises in those cities.
That means finan-cing is a problem for the BCHL, not just the Smokies, or Surrey, or whomever. The league will need to deal with the issue this off-sea-son, one hopes before the problem gets so bad franchises are closed or moved.
Lots of people in the Home of Champions support, in regular or infrequent, large and small, ways, keeping a Junior A team in Trail. Surrounding com-munities, too, know that having a junior A franchise at the heart of West Kootenay hockey is good for all levels of the game in the region (and busi-nesses, too).
It would be a big positive towards keep-ing that possibil-ity alive if, when the Smoke Eater AGM comes around, lots of people show up for the discussions. Nobody needs to volunteer for anything, but every-body that would like the team to continue as is (except for better on ice results) should make themselves knowledgeable about the issues surrounding that survival.
Volunteering to help out, even in small things, would certainly be helpful, however.
Meanwhile, the Nitehawks are scram-bling at times but get-ting the job done. Stay tuned to local media for dates and times for games as the playoffs roll onwards. Very, very, seldom are the games sold out, and junior B teams, too, require that in-house income to thrive.

Denotes Wheelchair Accessible
The opinions expressed in this advertising space are provided by Greater Trail Area Churches on a rotational basis.
“We have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and re-belled, turning aside from thy commandments and ordinances”
(Dan. 9:5).This is Daniel’s confession of his and his people’s sins in exile in Babylon. Being punished by God by being exiled, Daniel
recognizes and confesses that his people have indeed sinned, and that this is why God is punishing them far away from their
home in a strange land. And Daniel asks God to forgive his people. “To the Lord our God belongs mercy and forgiveness;
because we have rebelled against him” (Dan. 9:9).We too need to beg God to forgive our sins, and God punishes
us for our sins by making us feel depressed by our sense of guilt for them, even for very small sins. But we are now living in the New Testament, and God, through Christ, declares us righteous, that is, he justi� es us, when we put our faith in
Christ.No human being or human judge should declare a guilty
person innocent. He should not declare just or justify, one who is guilty. “He who justi� es the wicked and he who condemns
the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord” (Prov. 17:15). To do this would be a miscarriage of justice.
But in the New Testament God declares the guilty innocent; the ungodly he declarers just and righteous: “But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justi� es the ungodly,
his faith is accounted for righteousness” (Rom. 4:5 NKJV). Is this not a miscarriage of justice to declare a guilty person
innocent, to declare an impious person righteous? In this case God is not being unjust or violating his in� nite divine justice in order to show mercy, precisely because Christ took our sins upon himself and expiated them by his suffering and death for them on the cross. “For our sake he [God] made him [Christ]
to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Cor. 5:21). That is, Christ died for the ungodly. “While we were helpless, at the right time Christ died
for the ungodly” (Rom. 5:6).Therefore God’s declaration that the guilty are innocent, that
is, that the ungodly are just and righteous, is not a miscar-riage of justice, because Christ expiated their sins in his death on the cross, suffering their just punishment for their sins for them. Christ’s death on the cross makes God’s declaration of the ungodly to be righteous a just and righteous declaration. His death proves that God is righteous, and it also justi� es us, making us truly righteous. “It [Christ’s death] was to prove at
the present time that he himself [God] is righteous and that he justi� es him who has faith in Jesus” (Rom. 3:26)
When, then, through our own free act of faith, which God en-ables us to freely make, we receive this declaration that we are just, we are actually made truly just and righteous, precisely
because of the atonement made by Christ.And all of this comes to us without any work of our own. We simply receive it by faith alone, which is our act of reception. So Christ’s work on the cross justi� es us, that is, declares and
actually makes us righteous, just, and holy, and this comes to us by faith alone, without our works, “for no human being will be justi� ed in his sight by works of the law” (Rom. 3:20). We could never merit by our works this justi� cation of God
that makes us truly righteous, just, and holy (Rom. 3:28; Phil. 3:9; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5). It is an act of God, through Christ’s
death, that we can only receive by faith alone.But once we have passively received this gift by faith, we must
then do good works and live a good life according to God’s moral law, and in this way we will grow still more in holiness.

SubmittedAfter the March 3 evening Mass at Holy
Trinity Church, new CWL member Allison Smith was enrolled by President Marjorie Nutini, Organization chair Sandra Stajduhar and Spiritual Advisor Fr. Bart van Roijen. Following the enrolment ceremony, Marlise Gattafoni, Spiritual chair, led members in praying the first seven Stations of the Cross.
At the General Meeting that followed, Marlise thanked the seven CWL members who will take part in the March 6 World Day of Prayer Service at the Anglican church. Selma Nutini, Christian Family Life chair, read a moving story, “The Homeless Man”, and asked mem-bers to read “Respecting Our Elders” in the current League magazine. Communications chair Connie Makse, described two new social media initiatives from national CWL--a mem-bers’ only on-line forum, and the development of a recruiting DVD to feature video testimon-ials from members attending Diocesan conven-tions across Canada.
Education and Health chair Rosemarie Catalano and Resolutions and Legislation chair Mary Billingsley both expressed dismay at the recent Supreme Court decision re. physician assisted suicide. Members are encouraged to discuss more compassionate options with their loved ones, and advocate for better pain man-agement and expanded palliative care services as well as pray and support those who are suffering. They recommended study of the League’s Position Paper on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide and re-examination of the League’s call for a National Palliative Care Strategy. Marlise thanked members for their faithful support of the Hospice March Swim-athon, securing over $1000 to date in pledges and donations.
Convention chair Sandra confirmed that Pat Depiesse, BC & Yukon CWL Provincial President, will present a workshop “CWL Facelift” at the Nelson Diocesan CWL Convention to be hosted by Holy Trinity April 30-May 2. The council will hold a Palm Sunday Bake Sale after all weekend Masses March 28-29, with proceeds earmarked for convention expenses.
President Nutini called CWL conventions “the best teaching tool of the League”, urging members to take an active role in our Diocesan Convention, and inviting attendance at the Provincial Convention June 11-13 in Prince George and the National Convention, August 16-19 in Vancouver.
In response to Pope Francis’ call “to be a people of prayer”, Fr. Bart announced that the parish will hold a Holy Hour Service, March 13, 7-9pm at Holy Trinity, with scripture reading, reflection and prayer. Special intentions will be offered for the family.
Linda Zol, Parish Activities chair, thanked the Knights of Columbus, Holy Trinity Choir, Annable ladies and the CWL for providing Soup and Bun lunch on Wednesdays during Lent. Proceeds go to Development and Peace. She reminded members of the March 22 Lenten Reflection, with Parish Potluck Dinner and fellowship to follow at Holy Trinity.
As a closing prayer, Marlise led members in completing the Stations of the Cross.Next CWL General Meeting is Tuesday, April 7.
Holy Trinity CWL focuses on prayer,
compassion and service

Dear Annie: I gradu-ated from college two years ago and have been working at my present job since. I am one of two women out of 30 employees in our department.
Recently, my immediate supervisor revealed to me a long string of emails writ-ten by a male co-worker and our female person-nel supervisor, “Jane.” Apparently, the two had become romantic-ally involved and were communicating via the company email. It is obvious that neither of the two understands the public nature of their communication. My supervisor came across their emails while searching for another work-related matter. He thought I should be aware of the personal comments Jane had made about me.
I had met Jane only once, at a company retreat. I recall some pleasant and polite conversation, but in her email, she com-
mented that I seemed to be pompous and must have been “drunk or on drugs,” and that he should be careful around me. My super-visor felt such com-ments were inappropri-ate.
Since this came to light, I have considered a non-confrontational woman-to-woman talk with Jane, not only to ask her to make amends to me, but to let her know that she needs to be more dis-creet about her roman-tic communication. But I am also fed up with how our depart-ment is micromanaged by the home office and have considered quit-ting.
Should I make an appointment to see the HR manager at the home office? Should I ask my supervisor to handle it? I like my work, and I don’t think the culture of us-ver-sus-them in a male-dominated company will change without full involvement. But I am afraid of being the lightning rod going forward. -- Joanna
Dear Joanna: Speak to Jane privately. Tell her you have seen her correspondence. Let her know that using such channels for pri-vate communication is ill advised. Then tell her you are sorry she got the wrong impression at the retreat and ask how to improve things. Contacting HR is up to you. The company may be trying for more diversification but not making progress in your department yet. Do some research and figure out whether it’s worth it to you to rock the boat.
Dear Annie: Why
do all these TV execu-tives think actors have to cuss and use the F word? It is disgusting and uncalled for.
I was watching TV with my granddaughter at 10 in the morning when a series came on where they used God’s name in vain. My granddaughter asked why they did that. It is sad that you can’t even be safe watching TV before noon. My grand-daughter hears these words in school, which means her classmates are hearing the words at home and quite like-ly on TV.
I remember when “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn” made your jaw drop. -- Sick and Tired of Filthy Language
Dear Sick and Tired: Executives approve such vulgar language because they believe by “pushing the envel-ope” ratings will increase. You can write the sponsors of these programs, saying you will not purchase their
products, or you can change the channel. There are plenty of sta-tions that offer more family-friendly fare.
Dear Annie: A while back, you printed a letter from “Cousin of a Squatter,” whose 53-year-old cousin parked his van on her
property and was sup-posed to leave after five months. She wanted him out.
Years ago, when I had to insist that a friend move out of my house, I couldn’t bring myself to throw his possessions onto the street. Instead, I
threatened to put his stuff into a rented stor-age bin and told him I’d give him a bill for the second month’s rent, plus the key. This prompted him to move. I helped him find a place for himself, and we’re still friends. -- Ejected Nicely

Furthermore, it’s quite likely that things will turn out in your favor. YOU BORN TODAY You are sensitive and caring.

work, you are very private. This year something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for something new. Take it easy and learn to serve others. This is a good year to travel. Birthdate of: Rachel Weisz, actress; Laura Prepon, actress; Peter Sarsgaard, actor. (c) 2015 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

SubmittedJ.L. Crowe Debate students joined
Rossland, Stanley Humphries, Kinnaird, Trafalgar and LV Rogers to attend the Law Foundation Cup provincials that were held on Feb. 27 and Feb. 28, in Vancouver at St. George’s School.
The JLC members included: Alex Stephens, Maggie Chan, Ryan Buckley, Aven Cosbey, and Justin Kulik as part of the sixteen-member West Kootenay Regional Team.
The topic under discussion for the prepared cross-examination was “citizens who travel abroad to join terrorist organ-izations should have their citizenship revoked.”
In the second day of competition, the students completed three rounds of impromptu debates whereby one side selected a topic from three possible choices and the other team selected the side.
Those topics ranged from abolishing the monarchy, to having Quebec secede, that university should be free, to the fact that all students should have volunteer internationally, to the need to increase foreign aid in support women’s rights in developing countries.
Students were given 15 minutes to prepare their cases in order to showcase their debating skills. The final motion undertaken by the top two senior teams in the province was that, “This house would
give dictators immunity in exchange for them leaving power.”
However, the loudest and most robust debate of the weekend was the “benefits of pie versus cake” that took place on the bus.
Congratulations are extended to Lily Huttemann and Annabel Vrba from Trafalgar in the novice category for their fourth-place team placement. In addition, Huttemann placed eighth, Vrba placed second and Justin Kulik of JL Crowe placed 12th out of 28 participants.
Aven Cosbey and Hannah Klemmenson (JL Crowe and Seven Summits respect-ively) placed 10th out of 34 teams.
Traveling to Vancouver also included
other activities such as ride up the new Sea to Sky eight-person gondola in Squamish. Students walked the trails at the top and took pictures on the suspension bridge high above the mountain treetops.
The First Nations “reverence for nature and high places was evident. Ch’kai was a safe haven for the Squamish people during the Great Flood thousands of years ago”. As the lights cascaded over the evening hours, students enjoyed a banquet in the Sea to Skye Restaurant before riding the nighttime tram down to the base.
Many thanks go out to the community members for their time spent assisting in the preparation of these students before their travel to the provincial tournament.
