Time is running out for busi-nesses in downtown Trail to sign up for the free broadband connection offered by the City of Trail and the Trail Broadband Committee (TBC) and although the majority of business owners have already applied for the connection there are still a number who haven’t taken advantage of the opportunity.

“So far the buy-in has been excel-lent,” said Don Freschi, chair of the committee and general manager of

Community Futures of Trail. “Around 75 per cent of businesses have sub-scribed and we’re hoping the rest will come on board.”

Individual building owners have to be the ones to apply for the installa-tion that would provide broadband service to any businesses on their property with the potential to make their property more attractive to busi-nesses who require the faster speeds capable with the new technology.

“Fibre can be expensive to have installed but once it’s in, the business-es can decide what services they might

want to subscribe to with an Internet service provider (ISP),” Freschi said.

“Right now the connection is free, with no commitment to sign a con-tract with any ISP so, to me, it’s a no-brainer.”

After March 31 businesses will be required to pay either a portion of the hookup costs until the end of July or the entire $1,500 if they wait until after December.

With the warmer spring weather Freschi says the crews are already planning out how to roll out the

The fracturing of services and the inability to see the value of sharing regional culture and recreational services is disheartening and a blow to the entire area, says a Trail councillor and long standing supporter of the Trail and District Public Library.

According to a Village of Warfield newsletter issued to residents on Monday, Warfield council opted to disband its 60-year partnership with Trail citing an estimated 6 per cent increase, meant the village “must insure accurate accounting of servi-ces used and pay our fair share.”

“It is almost inconceivable that people do not see the value of these ser-vices,” Coun. Robert Cacchioni told the Trail Times.

“No matter where you live these servi-ces are positive for the whole area and bind the community together.”

Cacchioni was referring to Warfield council’s decision to no longer contribute to the library service or recreational facilities in Trail.

“We’ve worked so hard during these last five years with the library board to make the library an outstanding service,” he continued.

“We’ve invested a tremendous amount of money to expand library services to the Greater Trail area and it is disappointing and a real problem that Warfield has chosen to withdraw.”

When Warfield entered into a cost sharing agreement with Trail in 2009, the village con-tributed $31,600 toward the library service.

The apportionment was raised incrementally in 2010 to $32,600 annually with no further increases since that time.

For the 532 library cardholders in Warfield, there are two options to continue using the service, according to Barbara Gibson, library board chair.

“This is very disappointing and certainly impacts our budget negatively,” explained Gibson. “Should the Village of Warfield decide they are not paying anything to any library then the only way to support the library is through a non-resident fee of $50 per person.”

This is a hand that occurred at the Moses Lake Sectional at the beginning of the

month. I was not playing Mexican two diamonds with all the bells and whistles so I only got to 6NT and not a grand in diamonds.

The extended system: Partner has opened two dia-monds showing an 18 to 19 high-card-point balanced hand. Previous columns have explained the responses two hearts through three clubs. What about higher responses?

Three diamonds through three spades is Roman key-

card Blackwood in the suit bid and three No Trump is keycard in clubs.

The bids of four clubs through four spades directly over two dia-mond opening are exclusion Blackwood in the suit bid. Keycard and exclusion bids complement the system very nicely. The last bell and whis-tle is Puppet Stayman to be discussed next column.

The bidding: South opens two diamonds with a bal-

anced 18 points and North, with a void in clubs, immediately asks for aces and kings excluding the club suit. South shows two aces and one king. The king of clubs is ignored because it is oppos-ite a void.

North bids a cool grand in diamonds. A grand in spades is also cold. However, I still got close to top marks in six notrump.

The Lead:  The 10 of clubs looks like a natural and a safe lead but not here. One does not lead a suit if the opponent has a singleton or void in it because it may give declarer a discard. The nine of spades is the best lead.

The play: Declarer draws trump and claims.

Result: Seven diamonds making seven for +2140.

Do You Have The Basics?Q10: This is the last of

the Basic series. Can you use what you have learned about card play to answer the fol-lowing question correctly?

You won the third round of trump, spades, on which partner has signalled with the QD.

Dummy (your Left hand opponent-LHO) has 98 and you have A72 of diamonds. Do you play a diamond?

Webster part of provincial physical activity plan

B y V a l e r i e r o s s iTimes Staff

It's never too early to have a dance party, according to Webster Elementary School teachers.

Grade 6/7 teaching partners D.J. Wert and Leah Riemer have implemented school-wide daily physical activity every Wednesday morning at about 8:30 a.m. Right now, grades 6 and 7 students are leading their peers in a dance program in the gym but once the wet weather dries up, the elementary school kids will start their day with a walk/run around Haley Park's track.

The teacher team is dedi-cated to increasing physical activity and healthy choices all while encouraging the older students to lead pri-mary kids. Since 2007, the Warfield school has taken part in Action Schools! BC, a free provincial program designed to assist elementary and mid-dle schools in creating and implementing individual-ized action plans to promote healthy living while achiev-ing academic outcomes and supporting comprehensive school health.

“We just think that Webster students are great and there is never too many chances to develop leadership at this age because they are so willing and so excited,” said Riemer. “I think that kids who are active and healthy kids are overall just more happy with themselves and more ready to learn.”

With help from retired teacher Marion Hunter, an Action Schools! BC regional trainer, Webster has provided leadership training to its older kids. With suggestions from the program, the teaching team has introduced chang-es such as school-wide daily physical activity and its play first, eat second motto.

“Traditionally we've always eaten lunch first and then gone out to play but now we've reversed that so that the kids are more hungry when it's time to eat,” explained Riemer.

Webster has also gone from having two 45-minute PE classes a week to one class

every day for half an hour. Of the five morning classes, two are self-guided and designed circuit training classes.

“We've noticed there is direct correlation between getting going and getting active right away, rather than getting active later on in the day and found that it readies their brains,” said Riemer.

Variety is also key to encouraging play, she said, adding that the school has purchased new gear like mini (hockey) sticks and held outdoor activity workshops such as hopscotch and four squares.

“I think across Canada everyone is really concerned about the activity level of our kids and we wanted to have activities where kids could set their own personal goals,”

added Riemer.Webster is also involved

in the BC School Fruit and Vegetable Nutritional Program and a healthy break-fast program that provides nutritious food for students. These along with Action Schools! BC healthy eating activities and resources, and having a play-first lunch, have led students to eat more veg-etables and fruit and try new foods.

This school year, Webster is the only School District 20 facility to take advantage of a training workshop, accord-ing to the provincial pro-gram's website (www.action-schoolsbc.ca). But in 2012, Fruitvale Elementary, the for-mer MacLean Elementary and Robson Community School participated.

“I’m excited about this, it’s good for the community,” said Freschi.

“It would allow companies who require broadband to relocate here from Vancouver or Calgary.They would be able to do their business

and live the lifestyle that we have here in the Kootenays.”

According to the TBC web-site, the B.C. Technology Industry Association reports that the tech sector is the largest employer in B.C. and creates more jobs that forestry, mining, and oil and gas combined.

Those interested in signing up for the free broadband connection can find the application forms at www.trailbroadband.ca.

Appealing business option

Some of Greater Trail's low income renters will soon have the chance to live in affordable suites.

The Lower Columbia Community Development Team's attainable housing committee is now preparing to purchase up to 10 units in Trail, Fruitvale and prob-ably Rossland after securing nearly $1 million last year.

Although it's been a rather slow process, attainable housing com-mittee chair Jan Morton said the group has finally been given the green light to proceed with the acquisition phase.

“We've had a broad sense of who we are going to be targeting but once you get down to it it, really, nine or 10 units is going to be a drop in the bucket in terms of need so we better have our criteria pretty tight,” she said.

The group is currently develop-ing eligibility policies while they work to secure a real estate team to guide them through the purchas-ing process.

“We intend to be staged about it as well because we don't want to be suddenly inflating the market so our intent is to be careful while we do it but also have the guidance of experts supporting us,” she added.

The units they wish to devel-op will likely be one-bedroom (at approximately $450 per month) or at the very most two-bedroom suites in existing strata-title units or in downtown buildings that fea-ture apartments upstairs.

Morton said someone who fits the “homelessness category” pays at least $500- $700 a month, which works out to 60-70 per cent of all income spent on rent. The group would like to lower this dramati-cally to 30 per cent, providing ease to low-income individuals.

“There is no doubt that the peo-ple who will be fortunate enough to get into this housing will have safe housing that is more afford-able than the market out there,” she said.

After an extensive needs assess-ment and a closer look at specific households and housing needs, the committee's push turned into action when its second applica-tion was accepted by the Affordable Rental Housing initiative, a part-nership between the Columbia Basin Trust and BC Housing.

The partners granted the com-mittee $925,000 for this project and funds were topped up with $25,000 from Kootenay Savings Credit Union and $10,000 from Teck Metals.

FROM PAGE 1The second option is for Warfield

to contribute to another munici-pal library and have village resi-dents register for a card at that facility, which allows access to a BCOneCard and free use of any library in the province.

However, as a BC OneCard holder, borrowing reading materi-al is restricted, books cannot be reserved and inter-library loans aren’t allowed.

“If you are a young mom with a couple of kids, borrowing books

would be curtailed to five,” said Gibson. “And that’s something you don’t see, usually parents take out 20 or so each visit.”

With the library’s budget now looking at a $32,600 shortfall, a meeting for the library board and Trail council representatives has been called for 4 p.m. today.

“Especially since we have expanded our programming we have a lot of people coming down from Warfield for children’s pro-grams,” said Gibson. “Now we have to meet and make some decisions.”

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SREVELSTOKE, B.C.

- An avalanche expert says the deaths of eight people this month in the mountains of British Columbia and Alberta is especially heartbreaking because there is so much infor-mation available warn-ing of the danger.

The people who have died since March 8 range from snow-mobilers, backcountry skiers, hikers and snowshoers to a father and son who were bur-ied while tobogganing within sight of the Chateau Lake Louise luxury hotel.

“It is frustrating when a significant number of people die in avalanches,” Ilya Storm, a spokes-man for the Canadian

Avalanche Centre, said Monday.

“In at least two of these accidents the people probably were not aware of avalanch-es at all - and that is a huge challenge for us. We are looking for ways to be able to extend the reach of our public safety initia-tives.”

The centre in Revelstoke, B.C., posts detailed daily avalanche forecasts

during the winter on the Internet (www.avalanche.ca/cac) and offers information about training courses and safety equipment.

But much of the information is aimed at people with some knowledge of back-country perils.

Two people who died snowshoeing March 8 were tourists from Spain visiting Banff National Park. The two tobogganers who were last seen alive March 9 were visiting from Montreal.

Storm said the non-profit centre faces the challenge of putting information out to two very different groups.

Along with fore-casts, the centre offers avalanche awareness programs for people who live in or frequent the mountains, includ-ing safety courses aimed at backcountry enthusiasts and young people in schools.

It’s a different story for tourists or people with less experience in the mountains.

There are avalanche warning signs and information kiosks in some areas. There is an avalanche app avail-able for smartphones. Some hotels carry ava-lanche forecast infor-mation and broadcast it into guest rooms on internal TV channels.

But there’s no guar-antee that people will read the information or heed the warnings.

“There is still a lot of work to do to get some people to do the equivalent of hopping in the car and putting on a seatbelt,” Storm said.

So far this winter, 13 people have died in avalanches in B.C. and Alberta. That’s up from six deaths last year. The 10-year average is 12 fatalities.

About 90 per cent of avalanches are trig-gered by people.

Storm said condi-tions in the mountain snowpack this season have been trouble-some, with deep snow making it difficult to locate weak layers associated with snow-slides.

The threat has mod-erated a bit from ear-lier this month, but conditions can change daily. And despite the calendar, there is still plenty of winter ahead in the mountains.

“This year and espe-cially this last week, conditions have been extraordinarily chal-lenging and dynamic with a high degree of uncertainty,” Storm said.

“We have a good month to six weeks of avalanche season in front of us.”

Children of the victims of serial killer Robert Pickton will each be paid $50,000 as compensation for policing failures that allowed the Port Coquitlam pig farmer to prey on vulnerable women for years.

The $4.9-million deal between the provincial and federal govern-ments and City of Vancouver pro-vides the payments to 98 children of 67 missing or murdered women tied to Pickton and addresses a key recommendation of the Missing Women Inquiry led by Wally Oppal.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the money offers a chance for victims’ families to improve their education, housing or other cir-cumstances.

She acknowledged no amount can fully repay families for the loss of their loved ones.

“It’s a fair amount, it’s the right thing to do,” Anton said. “But we can’t compensate for the loss of a mother.”

The agreement is expected to

settle a civil lawsuit brought by 13 families of victims.

Pickton was convicted in 2007 on six counts of second-degree murder and is serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years.

He was arrested in 2002, but Oppal found better policing should have caught him years earlier, pre-venting the disappearances of many addicted Downtown Eastside sex trade workers whose DNA was later found on the Pickton farm.

Oppal cited the “intergeneration-al impact” of Pickton’s crimes and the need to break the hold of vio-lence on families in recommending the compensation fund for children.

Anton said the province has fulfilled or is making substantial progress on three-quarters of the inquiry’s recommendations.

“I will always regret that we did not catch this killer sooner,” Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu said.

Both he and RCMP Dep. Comm. Craig Callens reiterated past apolo-gies for the policing failures.

LARIN, ADEL-FO MARIO “MR. C” – It is with great sadness that we an-nounce the pass-ing of our Dad, Nono and friend. Adelfo passed away peacefully on March 15, 2014, after battling cancer at his home in Genelle with his family and loving companion Daze by his side.

He was predeceased by his son Greg, his mother Maria, his father Pio, his sister Giovanna in Italy and his brother Giovanni. Adelfo is sur-

vived by his loving dedicated wife Iolanda of 54 years, his son Rob-ert (Lori), his daughter Mary-Lou (Greg), his grandsons Christopher, Brandon and Christian, his brother Ermes and his sister Miralba, both of Italy, as well as numerous nieces and nephews and cousins.

Adelfo immigrated to Canada in 1955. Moving to Trail he was un-able to � nd employment so Adelfo moved to Vancouver where he was able to � nd work in the construc-tion industry as a bricklayer. In 1957 he moved back to the Trail area working on the Castlegar and Nelson Hospitals as a bricklayer/foreman and then on the construc-tion of the Celgar Pulp Mill as a bricklayer. In 1960, he was hired full time by Celgar as a painter mason/bricklayer retiring in 1999 after 39 years of employment. As a skilled bricklayer and tradesman, much of Adelfo’s work can be seen through-out the Kootenay area.

He met his future wife Iolanda in 1958 and they married in 1959. In 1964 Adelfo designed and built their family home in Genelle, living there until his passing.

Adelfo enjoyed hanging out in the shop whether it was tinkering around or working on vehicles with his sons or just socializing and shar-ing a glass of wine with family and friends.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Jim Flaherty is leaving the federal

cabinet after more than eight years as finance minister to prepare for a return to the private sector, saying the move is unrelated to his recent health problems.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected to name his replacement today.

Flaherty, who delivered his final budget last month, said he made the decision with his family earlier this year.

“As I begin another chapter in my life, I leave feeling fulfilled with what we have accomplished as a government and a country during one of the most challenging economic periods in our coun-try’s history,” he said in a statement.

An official in the Prime Minister’s Office said

Flaherty would be retaining - at least for now - his seat in the House of Commons, meaning he remains an MP for the time being.

Flaherty is among Canada’s longest-serving finance ministers, appointed to the key eco-nomic post when the Conservative government first came to power in 2006.

OPINION

Chretien’s Clarity Act not so clear after allActions have conse-

quences. The Russian

invasion of Crimea and their organizing of an unconstitutional referen-dum on its independence from Ukraine is an example whose consequences should be in every Canadian’s mind should the Parti Québécois win the Quebec election on April 7.

The West has fairly con-sistently chosen the “soft option” when dealing with Russia since the end of the Cold War, among other countries such as Iran, North Korea, Syria and other trouble spots, with no real signs of its effect-iveness.

Now, with the very real possibility of a PQ major-ity government and a third instalment of Quebec’s neverendum, the time has come to ask whether we now have the courage to apply domestically these lessons from abroad.

The nationalist bullies always bristle at any sug-gestion Canada should have a role in determining Quebec’s future. By their view, Quebec alone must decide if and when there is to be a referendum, what

the question is and what constitutes a win.

Canada’s leaders basic-ally acquiesced in these conditions through two ref-erendums and have studied their fingernails as Quebec has industriously set about marginalizing and driving out federalist voters.

Following the razor-thin margin of victory in the 1995 referendum, Ottawa grew a slender backbone and asked the Supreme Court for guidance on what Canada was entitled to demand for a secession vote to be valid. To summar-ize crudely, the court said a clear answer to a clear question triggered an obli-gation on the rest of Canada to negotiate with Quebec. Any deal arising from those negotiations would require constitutional amendment. And Ottawa was obliged to protect the interests of minorities, including, pre-sumably, the minority who voted to remain in Canada.

Put slightly differently, the law of the land is that Quebec may do nothing unilaterally. The question, the referendum rules, the winning threshold, the shape of any subsequent deal, all require the partici-

pation and agreement of Ottawa and, in the case of constitutional amendment, the agreement of most or all of the other provinces.

Ottawa followed up with the Clarity Act, one of Jean Chrétien’s greatest achieve-ments. But most people miss two vital features of the Clarity Act: what it does not contain and the reac-tion to it in Quebec.

In terms of its content, the Clarity Act purports to put into law the Supreme Court’s decision, but it is highly selective, focus-ing on the issue of a clear answer to a clear question being necessary to trig-ger secession negotiations with Quebec. But it fails to clarify how Ottawa should honour its other obliga-

tions under the Supreme Court’s decision. It does not say how it will react in the face of provocation by Quebec City, for example, such as unilaterally set-ting an unclear referendum question.

A real Clarity Act would, in such a case, require Ottawa immediately to hold its own referendum on a question like, “Should Quebec remain in Canada?” More importantly, the act fails to inform Quebecers what Ottawa’s negotiating mandate will be in the case of a yes vote.

Will it rule out the use by Quebecers of the Canadian passport and refuse Quebecers any voice over Canadian monetary policy if they use the loon-ie? Will it interpret its obli-gation to protect minorities as authorization to claim all regions that vote to remain in the federation? Answering these questions is not provocation. It is pro-viding Quebecers with the vital information they need to understand the conse-quences of voting for sep-aration. It treats Quebecers as the responsible adults they are.

That brings us to the

other feature of the origin-al Clarity Act: Quebecers’ reaction. Contrary to the myths retailed by nation-alist elites, ordinary Quebecers were largely in favour of the act when it passed because its rules are sensible and fair. Polls also show clearly they don’t want independence.

When Ottawa maintains ambiguity on these other issues, it makes preserving Canada harder, not easier, because it lets nationalist bullies maintain the fic-tion that independence is a costless panacea and that Canada will willingly lie down and be dismembered.

We won’t, and if the PQ wins its majority on April 7, the federal government that says so, calmly, ration-ally but unequivocally, will find Canadians everywhere, including many in Quebec, on its side.

Except for the bullies, of course, whose bluff we will finally have called.

As my partner and I arrived at the Trail Recreation and Leisure Centre this evening, we were extremely shocked and disappointed to discover that Warfield has opted out of the Trail Resident Program (TRP). What is even more disappoint-ing and frustrating is that we were informed of this decision through a letter from the Trail Leisure Center and not through those who have made this griev-ous decision.

There were no letters in the mail explaining negotiations or any consultation of Warfield residents and their wishes regarding the TRP. The lack of communication is unaccept-able.

The council and mayor has failed to represented the villa-gers of Warfield and as a result, have set Warfield back as a community. When decisions affecting everyone are made

behind closed doors without consultation and representa-tion, they begin to reflect the traits of a dictatorship opposed to a democracy.

Warfield’s amenities have now been reduced to a pool open two months of the year and an old hall.

While we understand that the TRP does not restrict access to facilities in Trail, by doubling the cost, it may put them out of the reach of many families financially. But who is to know when no consultations were done?

While it is understandable that different communities may have differences in some mat-ters, it is the community rep-resentatives’ duty to embody the interest of its residents and leave personal grudges and petty feuds aside.

The interaction between the communities in the Greater

Trail area is disgraceful and continues to deteriorate.

When choosing to move to Warfield, the amenities in the community including those offered through the TRP were one of the reasons we chose to live here.

Now that those have sig-nificantly increased in cost, we are anxiously awaiting to hear what Warfield’s plans are to replace the losses in kind. Small rebates on property taxes will not suffice, as our annual gym pass fees will increase by $1,000 and it is unlikely that any rebate will amount to this.

We sincerely hope that the mayor and council will recon-sider their rash and unwarrant-ed decision regarding the TRP and begin to rebuild the trust they have undoubtedly lost in the community today.

B Y B R U C E C H E A D L EThe Canadian Press

OTTAWA - The Conservative party is blanketing the country with a fresh round of television ads attacking Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau - but unlike past campaigns, it hasn’t posted the spots online nor informed its supporters about the big ad buy.

Vigilant politics watchers began posting ad sightings on Twitter on Monday, and by week’s end it was evident that three different Trudeau ads are being aired on everything from morning news shows to prime time network TV and sports channels.

Sharply worded spots playing off Trudeau comments on defi-cits, terrorism and marijuana legalization have been reported airing during popular fare such as The Bachelor finale, Grey’s Anatomy, Jeopardy, Corner Gas, Modern Family, The Goldbergs and Hell’s Kitchen.

All the ads feature Trudeau peeling off his shirt, a video clip from a 2011 charity fund-raiser for the Canadian Liver Foundation.

Cory Hann, a spokesman for the Conservative party, would not agree to an interview Friday but said in an email that “Canadians should know where a man who wants to be prime minister stands on important questions like how to balance the budget, create jobs, manage the economy and keep com-munities and families strong.”

The governing party launched a barrage of television ads against Trudeau last spring immediately after he was elect-ed Liberal party leader and have had a long-running series of Trudeau-focused radio ads air-ing across the country.

Unlike previous high-profile Conservative ad campaigns, the party has not posted the latest spots online where they can be shared, reviewed and critiqued.

Hann would only say the ads are for television only. He wouldn’t comment on the scope and duration of the cur-rent ad buy.

Alex Marland, a professor at Memorial University who spe-cializes in political communi-cation, says the Liberals under Trudeau have become adept at

using Conservative attacks to stir the Liberal base and raise funds - which may explain why the Tories haven’t provided an online record of the ads.

“Now the Liberals seem to be using these Conservative ads to try to galvanize their own base - ‘My goodness, look at this latest attack on Justin! Why don’t you donate to the Liberal party to help us prevent this from happening again?’ ” said the academic.

Marland said the tactic of getting media coverage in order to amplify paid advertising cam-paigns may have reached the point of diminishing returns.

“They’re focused on bypass-ing the mainstream media and going directly to their target audiences.”

Allan Middleton, a marketing professor at York University’s Schulich School of Business, also suspects the Conservatives are trying to do an end run around media scrutiny of the campaign.

“You (reporters) get to see the whole campaign and com-ment on it. That part might be making them nervous.”

Bobcats oust Bulldogs

B y T i m e s s T a f fThe Quinnipiac Bobcats got off to a rewarding

start as it began its quest for a return trip to the NCAA Frozen Four.

The Bobcats, led by Trail’s Travis St. Denis, and Montrose’s Connor and Kellen Jones, faced the Yale Bulldogs in its first round of the Eastern Conference playoff.

Last April, Yale eliminated local rival Quinnipiac on the final night of the season. The Bulldogs lifted the NCAA championship trophy after beating number-1 ranked Quinnipiac in the national championship match 4-0.

Eleven months later, QU returned the favor, ending Yale’s title defense with 6-2 and 5-3 vic-tories to sweep the Blue out of the ECAC Hockey quarterfinals.

St. Denis scored twice in the 6-2 win on Friday, and added another in the best 2-of-3 sweep on Saturday.

Connor, meanwhile, scored the winner in Friday’s victory and added two assists on Saturday, and Kellen pitched in with a couple of helpers.

“I’d be lying if I said it didn’t feel good,” Connor said on the USCHO website. “I don’t think we’ll be satisfied until we get a national championship and an ECAC championship, but it felt good tonight, for sure.”

The Jones twins are seniors this year and are in their final season, while St. Denis is a junior.

In the end though, he admitted, “We don’t have anything on Yale until we have a ring of our own.”

Quinnipiac advances to ECAC Hockey’s cham-pionship weekend and will face Colgate, against whom the Bobcats were 1-1 this season. Also traveling to Lake Placid is top-seed Union, which will play the winner of Sunday’s Game 3 between fifth-place Clarkson and fourth-seed Cornell.

The Bobcats qualify for the league’s final four-some for the second year in a row and third time ever, still seeking their first Whitelaw Cup.

Matteucci and the Clarkson Golden Knights are headed to its first Frozen Four final after ousting Boston College 3-1 on Saturday at the NCAA West tournament.

Vanessa Gagnon scored twice to put the Golden Knights ahead 1-0 in the first period and 3-0 early in the third, and Erica Howe stopped 23 shots for Clarkson.

Jamie Lee Rattray assisted on all three Clarkson goals, includ-ing a Brittany Styner score in the second period..

Matteucci anchors the best defence in the NCAA division 1 women’s hockey, allowing an average of just 1.05 goals against this season.

The Knights led the ECAC division with a 16-2-4 record and were 29-5-5 overall.

Matteucci off to Frozen Four

B y T i m e s s T a f fGreater Trail hockey teams are play-

ing for a playoff berth in their respective provincial championships this week.

The Tier 2 Midget Smoke Eaters began their provincial run on a high- note on Sunday with an 8-3 rout of host Penticton. Eight different players scored for the AA Smokies in its first win of the tournament. However, in its second matchup on Monday the Trail squad lost to Vancouver 3-1.

Vancouver jumped out to a 3-0 lead, and Trail tried to battle back when Chris Colquhoun sniped his first marker to make it 3-1 in the third period but that

was a close as they would get. Trail played Smithers Tuesday in its

final match of the round robin, but the final score was unavailable at press time.

If Trail wins, it will play in the semi-final game this morning for a chance at the provincial final that goes tonight at 8 p.m.

The Greater Trail AA Bantams also won their first match with a 6-2 drub-bing of Saanich on Sunday.

However, after a 6-0 loss to Penticton they followed it up with an exciting 3-3 tie with the always tough North Shore Winter Club.

The Trail AA Bantams played Cranbrook Tuesday but scores were unavailable at press time. A win could

also put the AA Smokies in a possible playoff berth. The semifinals go today, with the final match up scheduled for Thursday at 11 a.m.

Amazingly the Pee Wee AA Smoke Eaters also started their provincial tour-nament with a split, dropping a 7-4 decision to Penticton in Game 1 before beating host Juan de Fuca 6-1. Greater Trail was tied with the Pee Wee Vees until late when three goals in the final 1:38 put the game away. Trail is down to its final game against an undefeated Williams Lake team today but scores were unavailable.

If Trail wins they will play in the semifinal today, with a shot at the final at 8 p.m. tonight.

YOUR WORK BOOT HEADQUARTERS

B y T i m e s s T a f fLed by former Kootenay Ice cap-

tain Pat Iannone, the Arlington Bar and Grill roasted Re/Max 5-3 in the final of the Trail Commercial Hockey League playoffs at the Cominco Arena on Thursday.

It was the Arlington’s first league title, thanks in no small part to the addition of Iannone who led all scorers with 42 goals and 43 assists in 32 games this season. He was a perfect fit for playmaker Jeremy Robinson who also had an out-standing campaign as the league assist leader with 46.

Backed by the strong goal-tending of former Beaver Valley Nitehawk Eric Volpatti, the Big A knocked off All Star in two straight matches in the best-of-three semi-

final 7-3 and 5-2, before facing the regular-season champion Re/Max in the final Thursday.

The realtors, meanwhile, had a tough three-game tilt with Top Shelf to get to the final, winning the first match 3-0, and tying the final two 4-4 and 3-3 to advance on points.

But in the one game winner-takes-all matchup the Big A would jump out to a 2-0 lead and never look back as they extended the deficit to 5-2 until Re/Max scored late in the third to round out the scoring.

Iannone took home MVP of the the Playoff honours, as well as MVP of the league, while best defence-man went to Colton Seminoff, and best goalie to Chris McIsaac.

Frozen Four goes Friday

T H e C a N a D i a N P R e s sLAKELAND, Fla. - Right-

hander Brandon Morrow, who started last season second in the Jays pitching rotation, will open the 2014 campaign as the Jays’ fifth starter.

Toronto manager John Gibbons says the move to the fifth spot is partially to give Morrow more time to get ready. He declined to provide further reasons, saying all would be revealed on the rotation in good time.

Prior to Tuesday, Morrow had pitched eight innings this spring, giving up seven earned runs on 12 hits with four strikeouts and four walks. He was scheduled to throw in a minor league game Tuesday.

Gibbons said he’s happy

with what he’s seen from the 29-year-old Morrow, who is due to make US$8 million this sea-son.

“Yeah, he’s fine,” he told reporters prior to the Jays’ road game Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers. “The key with him is his health. That’s what’s limited him the last couple of years. If he’s good, he’s strong and makes all his starts or at least most of them, we’ve got one of the better pitchers in baseball. But that’s been tough for him to do the last couple of years.”

Morrow’s 2013 season was cut short by an impinged nerve in his right forearm. He went 2-3 with a 5.63 ERA in 10 starts before being shut down. A torn oblique muscle cost him more

than two months of the 2012 campaign.

Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey will open the season on the mound for the Jays on March 31 in Tampa. Gibbons has said left-hander Mark Buehrle will start third, to separate him from Dickey.

If Morrow goes fifth, he will pitch the home opener April 4 against the Yankees.

That leaves the No. 2 and 4 positions with Gibbons saying one spot goes to left-hander J.A. Happ.

The team has yet to confirm the last starter but it is widely believed that Drew Hutchison has pitched his way into the rotation.

Gibbons said he’s happy with the pitching weapons at his

disposal.“Yeah, I really like

the way it’s setting up. I really do ... There’s still some decisions to be made but I’m very pleased,” he said.

Pitching was a major problem last season when Toronto starters combined for a 46-57 record and a 4.81 ERA. Only Minnesota had an higher ERA (5.26) among its starters.

BLUE JAY NOTES - Closer Casey Janssen, on a slower spring training track to pro-tect against shoul-der soreness, threw live batting practice Tuesday.

“All in all, good to get on a mound, good to get a little bit of adrenalin going, and most importantly, it’s good to feel good.”

Dear Annie: I am a 13-year-old girl whose best friend (I’ll call her “Blue”) has become very rude and even annoying. I can no longer make a com-ment about something without her answering nastily or adding logic to imaginary scenarios that aren’t intended to be logical. It’s irritat-ing.

We have another friend, “Violet,” who is very creative and loves to draw. So do I. But when I showed Blue a picture I had done, she said, “Violet is way bet-ter than you are.” This hurt my feelings, and I was angry. When I con-sulted Violet, she said Blue had been rude and annoying to her, too.

We don’t want to offend Blue or lose her as a friend, but frankly, we can’t handle her anymore. What should we do? -- Red in Nevada

Dear Nevada: It’s not uncommon for those entering their teen years to behave in ways that are baffling,

annoying or rude. Talk to Blue. Tell her how you feel. Explain that sometimes the things she says are hurtful. Don’t be angry or accuse her of anything. Just let her know how sad it makes you. We hope she will be more aware of these things in the future and care enough not to hurt you, but we can’t promise. Sorry to say, not all friendships sur-vive this stage.

Dear Annie: I had to write about your response to “Concerned Cousin,” who worries about two grandpar-ents who take turns sharing the same bed with their 5-year-old granddaughter when

they visit her home. You should have

mentioned what hap-pens when men are sleeping: They can have a wet dream or be stimulated by any dream and touch the person in bed with them, and it can lead to sexual touching while they are asleep.

Grandpa should not share a bed with his granddaughter. Sexual molestation is rampant today, and it can start in even the most inno-cent of ways. Please re-address this letter in your column immedi-ately. -- Wyoming Reader

Dear Wyoming: We were saddened at the number of readers who seemed certain that all grandfathers (and apparently some grand-mothers) are molesting their grandchildren, intentionally or other-wise. While parents need to be vigilant about these things, it is an insult to all grand-parents everywhere to assume that all are

pedophiles or lack self-control. While some grandparents (and par-ents, cousins, uncles, aunts and friends) are indeed untrustworthy, it is terribly hurtful to accuse all grandparents of such horrible things.

Nonetheless, in today’s world, we cer-tainly understand the parents’ concerns. We mentioned having the child use an air mattress or sleeping bag, which would be the preferred solution for those who want to be extra careful and worry that they can-not trust the grand-parents. Here’s one more with a different perspective:

Dear Annie: I’m so grateful my family did not think it weird or creepy for a young girl to sleep in the same bed as her grandfather.

My sister and I slept at our grandparents’ house every weekend. We would alternate beds, one of us sleeping with Grandma and the other with Grandpa.

Each child got one-on-one time with a grand-parent, staying up late, giggling, talking and listening to amazing bedtime stories about growing up during the Great Depression.

Grandma was a bet-ter storyteller, but the child with Grandpa

got the fun of raid-ing the kitchen pantry for a midnight snack. I was about 11 when I no longer wanted to sleep in the same bed with either grand-parent, but that was only because it wasn’t “cool” and I would rather stay up watch-

ing television. Silly me.

I’m 38 years old now, and both of my grandparents are gone. But those great bedtime memories will be cherished all my life. -- Missing My Grandparents in Davenport, Iowa

family is most gratifying.Special thanks to Vince Profili, the RCMP and Jordan Wren

of Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services for their professional and caring assistance.

A Celebration of Peter’s Life will be announced in May.Alan & Rick Underwood and Carol McLean
