Opposites attract when Elizabeth Bennet (Allison Cherry) and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy (Chuck Cram) fall in love in The Rossland Light Opera Players’ performance of “Pride and Prejudice.”
RLOP presents classic play BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff
The oldest amateur musical theatre troupe in B.C. is celebrating 60 years with a nod to a classic. The Rossland Light Opera Players (RLOP) are ready to take the stage at the Charles Bailey Theatre in Trail tonight with their performance of “Pride and Prejudice.” The story, originally a novel by Jane Austen
that was first published in 1813, follows lead character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education and marriage in early 19th-century England. Her mother (Mrs. Bennet, played by producer Dawn Graham) has set out to marry off at least one of her five daughters to keep her estate once her husband passes on.

A rash of extra sick days being coughed up by school district staff could infect the district’s already feverish $1.4 million budget deficit, according to projections from SD20 administration. With the teachers contract labour dispute still unresolved, School District 20 (Kootenay-Columbia) is feeling some pressure with the replacement budget that covers teachers on call (TOC) and other staffing substitutes. SD20 secretary treasurer Natalie Verigin told the board of trustees recently only 31 per cent ($317,024) of the district’s $1.02 million total budget remains for substitute expenditures, money the district has to pay to cover the cost of hiring substitute teachers for absentees. She said the budget should have approximately 50 per cent of its budget left at the mid point. “If this trend continues, and we have five more months of school to go . . . we could be looking at a $350,000 shortfall,” she said. The statement caused concern with the board trustees, who already
face the prospect of tightening the district belt to absorb a $1.4 million budgetary shortfall discovered last month. “Is that over and above the $1.4 million (shortfall) we are expecting for next year?” asked trustee Jo-Ann Bursey of Castlegar. Verigin said she had built in a $200,000 “lift” for replacement labour costs into the replacement budget earlier this year when the shortfall was first detected. However, there would be an extra $150,000 overrun — pushing the deficit to $1.55 million — if the sick day inclination continued. Claims for family illness leave has cost the district $42,126, as has bereavement leave by $21,524, and substitutes for charters at $4,730 — all with no initial budget amount. TOC illness has used up 61 per cent of its $665,313 budget ($408,432), while subs for aides used up 74 per cent of its $94,679 budget ($69,911). Trustee Jenn Carter wondered if a trend had been done to see if there was heavier use in the winter months than during the spring.

‘Canadian Pickers’ to air local stop Monday’s episode on the History Channel includes Ross Spur mining collector BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff
A man who’s turned his Ross Spur property into a museum to show off his finds wouldn’t budge for big-time professional pickers who visited his home last summer. Don Endersby will now relive his experience when “Canadian Pickers” (Sheldon Smithens and Scott Cozens) came calling at his home near Fruitvale in the
“Mining for Gold,” episode on the History Channel Monday. “I’ve been involved in mining and construction all of my life and I started collecting about 30 or so years ago,” said Endersby. “I should have started long before then.” The 79-year-old has quite the collection of mining and farming equipment and treasures on his approximately 200-acre property that houses about 10 old structures that make up his place known locally as the “Valley Historical Museum.” The pickers thought they struck gold when they came across his collection but only managed to
squeak a deal on an advertisement sign. “They wanted to buy old bicycles and signs and that but I wouldn’t sell it to them,” Endersby laughed. “They wanted to offer me $500 to $600 on the bicycles but I told them I’d sell them the bicycles for a million bucks and throw in my whole place.” History is worth more to Endersby, who plans on handing his property down to kids one day to carry on the tradition. Endersby said mining is in his blood, adding that his father searched for gold well before he began looking in Sheep Creek.

Past absentee trends to be reviewed FROM PAGE 1 “It might make us fell a little better if we could see how past trends were ‌ and that things would lighten up by spring and everyone is feeling better,â€? she said. Superintendent of schools, Greg Luterbach, said that wasn’t the case. However, he said a conversation has started about next year’s budget and the pressures the district’s schools are feeling on substitute budgets. He also said the district was looking into mounting an awareness campaign with staff on the realities of what sick days cost. Sick leave comes directly out the district budget, Luterbach said, and there is no magical fund from Victoria. “People get a pay stub that says how many sick days they get. Is that good or bad that they know?â€? he said. “We talked about it not as a punitive, in your face thing, but we need to make our staff aware of (that) cost.â€? Board chair Darrel Ganzert wondered if there was something the district could do to support those people who were chronic users of the sick days and reduce the number of days they were absent. “There are names that go behind each one of these stories, and we need to treat our employees with respect and we have to look at

each situation for a solution,� said Luterbach. The school district is now looking at any trends developing in SD20 through historical data, he added, as well as looking at the industry as a whole, how SD20 is doing compared to the rest of Canada, and what statistics are there and if this is a common issue or is it localized. “That helps determine what kind of path we can take to find the budget to do it, or realize savings,� Luterbach said. Ganzert felt the previous board — in order to balance the budget — made an underestimation of the amount of money needed for substitutes and TOCs, creating a false economy but balancing the budget. “That was a conscious decision and now maybe we are reaping that reward,� he said. Luterbach couldn’t say for sure. “Whether of not our budget was off, you can see what the yearly expenditures are and they are huge,� said trustee Gordon Smith. Overall, the year-to-date expenditures for the entire SD20 operation are around 48 per cent of the total budget at the halfway mark of the school year — at $19,611,005 spent out of a total of $37,612,947. That is on the mark, said Verigin.

An artist’s rendering of the Teck facility following the completion of major projects, which begin this year. Trail Operations began processing televisions, computers and other electronic items on a trial basis in 2006 and was designated as a reprocessing site when the B.C. program started up in 2007. After recyclables are sorted by KC Recycling, Teck receives two waste streams for processing. The company then processes glass as it feeds into the Kivcet smelter and the e-waste bits and pieces from the shred go into the No. 2 slag-fuming furnace. The slag-fuming furnace removes additional gold, silver and copper, as well as lead, zinc and nickel, while vaporizing wood and plastics to help fire the furnace. The expansion of this process will allow Trail to take in “e-scrap,” a smaller subset of waste like circuit boards and processors within computers. “We will generate excess steam as a result of this and we do have an opportunity to look at using that steam or that energy value for example toward a potential project to generate electricity to put in a cogeneration project,” explained Belland. A minor increase in some metals – offset
by no net increase in sulfur dioxide (SO2) – from the No. 4 Furnace Project will vary depending on production levels and on the source and mixture of Trail Operations’ feeds, according to Catherine Adair, Teck’s community engagement coordinator. Though metal emissions to water will rise by five per cent for zinc, nearly 10 per cent for lead, seven per cent for thallium, 16 per cent for arsenic, three per cent for copper and 16 per cent for cadmium, projected levels are still within the Ministry of Environment’s permitted levels for Trail Operations. The project will require about 500,000 man-hours of work, which equates to about 200 construction jobs from this year to 2014. Belland anticipates about 20 new positions will result once the furnaces are complete while no permanent jobs will arise with the $125-million installation of a new acid plant – the second project highlighted during the information meeting.

Workshop on wood stoves to answer burning questions Meeting set for March 6 at Genelle Hall BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
A new workshop is planned for the provincial Wood Stove Exchange Program in order to get the last seven rebate allotments accounted for in the regional district. Those who are looking to replace their old wood stoves with an efficient new one will have another crack at it March 6, 7 p.m. at the Genelle Hall (1205 Second St). The workshop hosted by the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary’s electoral Area B is open to anyone from the surrounding communities who are
interested in learning more about the program. John Vere, Woodstove Exchange program coordinator, will be presenting at the two-hour workshop. “These workshops are a result of the many questions I am asked when people inquire about the Woodstove Exchange program,” Vere said on his website (http:// cactusmusic.ca/workshops.htm). “They wonder if it’s worth it to upgrade their wood heat system or should they change to another source of heat: solar? heat pump? pellet?” Within the Kootenay Boundary district, Fruitvale has exchanged seven woodstoves, Grand Forks 24, Midway six, Montrose two, Rossland 16 and Trail has
exchanged seven. In Area A nine, Area B three, Area C 14, Area D 70, Area E 36. There haven’t been any exchanges yet in Greenwood or Warfield. However, there are still a significant amount of old smoky wood stoves in operation around the province and these units can affect the health of homeowners, their neighbours, and overall air shed health, said Vere. Wood smoke is known to contain tiny particles called particulate matter (PM) — around 2.5 microns or less in diameter — small enough to be breathed into the deepest parts of the lungs. Particulate matter is associated with all sorts of health problems, from a runny nose and cough-
ing, to bronchitis, asthma, emphysema, pneumonia, heart disease and even premature death. Simple changes to the way people burn wood in their stoves or fireplaces can help minimize smoke, said Vere, increasing the heat provided from wood burning, and limit people’s impacts on their neighbours. Burning only clean, dry wood, creating small, bright fires by using small pieces of kindling to start the fire — keeping it moderately hot by adding larger pieces of split wood as required — and watching for signs of incomplete burning, such as visible smoke coming from the chimney or long, lazy flames in the firebox will minimize smoke. In November of 2011, the RDKB received $11,560 from the prov-
incial wood stove exchange program to offset the costs of people trading in their old, inefficient wood stoves for a high-efficiency model or other clean-burning appliances. That meant an average rebate of $250 rebate from the regional district on the purchase of a new wood stove, insert, pellet stove or gas stove/fireplace. The idea behind the program is to replace the old inefficient stoves with new high-efficiency wood stoves, proven to burn one third less wood, reduce emissions by up to 70 per cent and reduce the risk of chimney fires. For further information and to pre-register for the workshop, contact John Vere at 1-866-9929663.

PROVINCIAL Province to prepare back-to-work legislation for teachers: minister THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - British Columbia’s education minister announced Thursday that he’ll ask his staff to start preparing back-towork legislation for teachers, after a fact finder concluded the chances of a voluntary end to the long-running dispute are “very unlikely.” Teachers have been on a limited strike since the beginning of the year, and while they can’t legally walk off the job, they’ve been refusing to perform administrative duties such as filling out report cards. George Abbott wouldn’t say when the government would introduce the backto-work legislation, but he said he expects the matter will be seriously discussed next week. Abbott said the two sides are “an ocean

apart.” “A freely negotiated agreement, I am satisfied, is an impossibility,” Abbott said. Trevor Hughes, the assistant deputy minister of industrial relations, was asked to look into the dispute and the progress of negotiations, and he released his report earlier in the day on Thursday. Hughes found that despite almost a year of negotiations and more than 75 faceto-face sessions, the two sides have not been able to narrow the gap between their positions.
“Neither party views the other party as anywhere close to what is commonly referred to as the ‘settlement zone,”’ Hughes wrote. Hughes said both the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation view each other as unwilling to budge. The employers’ association complains that teachers’ won’t identify its priorities, making it difficult to find areas where progress can be made, said Hughes. In turn, Hughes said the teachers regard their employers as “intractable, unwilling to move and ‘not in a settlement zone.”’ Hughes said the government’s mandate requiring public sector unions to negotiate contracts that
do not have any cost increases is a “fundamental obstacle in this set of bargaining.” Hughes’s report says the teachers’ union wants a wage increase of 15 per cent over three years. “Net-zero is the order of the day,” said Abbott, referring to the government’s policy that any new public-sector wage increases must be offset by concessions elsewhere in a collective agreement. “I know the BCTF believe that doesn’t apply to them.”
Avalanche warnings across B.C. this weekend THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - The Canadian Avalanche Centre has issued a sweeping warning to backcountry enthusiasts there’s a high likelihood over the coming weekend that skiers and snowmobilers will trigger snowslides across B.C. The special bulletin applies to the Cariboos, the North and South Columbias, the North and South Rockies, the Lizard Range, the Purcells, the South Coast Inland and Northwest Inland from Friday to Monday. Avalanche forecaster Karl Klassen says a series of weak snow layers has piled up on the mountains, which have been buried by smaller snowfalls that disguise the danger. Large natural slides have been thundering down the backcountry over recent days, but when those conditions settle down, Klassen worries the public may develop a false sense of security. Klassen says people should remain in managed ski areas, but if they do choose to venture out into the backcountry, they should only go with someone who has extensive local knowledge and training - and not forget to tote a shovel, probe and transceiver. Five people have died in avalanches this winter season, while the yearly cross-Canada average is just under 15 fatalities.

Man rescues woman in river channel BY KRISTI PATTON Penticton Western News
A Penticton man rescued a woman whose car ended up in the south end of the Okanagan River Channel on Wednesday morning. Harvey Hunchak said he was driving on Skaha Lake Road when he noticed a group of people gathered looking at the submersed car. “I went across the bridge and turned into the parking lot thinking I got to see what is going on then I saw a lady had popped out of the car and she didn’t look like she was doing very well, of course the water is cold. He grabbed a pipe and put a strap around it that was in his work truck as the woman was
floating towards the bank and yelled at her to grab onto it. With the assistance of another man he pulled her to the shore right as the ambulance showed up. “It was just instinct I guess,” said Hunchak of why he drove in without a second thought. “There was a lot of people on the channel side that wanted to help, in fact there was one lady that dived right off the bank into the water. She just went a little ways and turned around and went back because she realized she wouldn’t make it either, that water was cold. I was lucky she floated towards the bank,” said Hunchak. “The other lady should be commended for her efforts for sure. I would just

Cpl. Ted Manchulenko said the woman was fortunate that bystanders came to her assistance. “Being in the middle of the channel in fairly cool water for this time of the year, it was fortunate to get other people to risk their own safety to assist her,” said Manchulenko.

Tip leads pickers to Ross Spur FROM PAGE 1
LAMBERT, CYRIL FRANCIS — passed away in Saanich Peninsula Hospital on Tues. Feb 14, 2012 at the age of 87. Cy was born in Bristol, England, Oct. 27, 1924. His parents were Phyllis and Frank Lambert. At age 18, Cy joined the British Army. He was a member of the 2nd Derbyshire Yoemanry. He landed on the beach at Normandy and served in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany for five years. He returned home to Bristol, England where he joined his parents and grandparents. They all emigrated to Canada, settling in the West Kootenays in Rossland, B.C. There Cy joined the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company, now called Teck Resources. Cy met and married Berniece Elliott in Rossland, B.C. They had three children, Frances Elizabeth, now Beth Boyd, Lorne Cyril and Frank Elliott Lambert. The Lambert family lived in Rossland and Cy worked for Cominco Ltd, in Trail, B.C. for 25 years. In 1974 Cy had the opportunity to go to Yellowknife, NWT, for Cominco Northern Resources. Cy made 35 trips through the high Arctic for Cominco’s Northern Mining Group. After eight years in Yellowknife, NWT, Cy retired and in 1982 Cy and Berniece returned to B.C. They settled in Sidney, B.C. for 10 years, where they did volunteer work in the community. Cy and Berniece moved to Brentwood Bay and formed a Ballroom Dance Club the Champagne Quick Steppers. They taught dancing for 10 years and enjoyed some snowbird travel to Phoenix and Mesa, Arizona, U.S.A. Cy and Berniece moved back to Sidney to live in Shoal Centre Independent Retirement Residence for four years. Unfortunately, Cy developed Alzheimer’s disease. Finally in December 2011, Cy entered Saanich Peninsula Hospital for care. He died of a stroke on February 14, 2012. Cy leaves his wife Berniece; children Beth Boyd, Lorne and Frank Lambert and grandchildren Elissa Boyd, Paul and Ian Lambert. Cy lived a life of service to his country, his family, his workplace and volunteering in his community. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion #37, the ANAF, Army, Navy and Air Force Assoc. of Sidney, B.C., St. Andrews Anglican Church, Brentwood Bay Seniors Assoc. and the Square and Round Dance Assoc. of Victoria, B.C. Cy will be sorely missed by his family and friends. Cy and Berniece had celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. A Memorial Service will be held at a later date. Condolences: (250)652-8686. 649090
Plant will cut emissions FROM PAGE 3 “The acid plant will not add any new jobs because we are simply replacing two existing acid plants with a new one so we’ll be just moving the operators, maintenance and trades people to the new plant,� he explained. The construction of the new site, which will be located adjacent to existing acid plants in the middle of
operations, is expected to be complete in late 2013. The $125 million No. 1 Acid Plant will result in enhanced operating reliability and flexibility as well as improved environmental performance, with total SO2 emissions reduced by about 700 tonnes (15 per cent), according to Teck’s Richard Deane, manager of energy and public affairs.
His family history is grounded within the region, with his grandfather settling in Rossland around 1896. When he first began collecting, he shared his finds with other museums until one day he decided to keep his treasures at home, where he welcomes residents to stop in for a lookthrough. The Canadian Pickers came through Southern B.C. on their coast-to-coast adventure rumma-
ging through barns, basements, and attics. Smithens and Cozens found Endersby’s lot when another collector gave them a tip. “The people in Cranbrook that they went to see are friends of my brother,� Endersby’s daughter Bonnie Kutzner told the Times. “They told him my Dad had a collection of artifacts from mines in the area.� Monday’s show is scheduled for 10 p.m. PST on the History Channel.
Troupe has family bond FROM PAGE 1 “Elizabeth is a very independent young lady for the time period, that’s why she’s become one of the most famous female characters over the years because she was written as someone who was very much ahead of her time,� said actress Allison Cherry, who plays Elizabeth. “It was easy to channel that energy but difficult to tone it down. “My character is extremely reserved and shy to the point where people misinterpret that as being too proud and too disinterested and snobbish,� said Cram. “I get so frustrated that I finally blurt out what I’ve been hiding all the time about the truth and that makes her think.� “Pride and Prejudice,� was a natural selection for bookworm director Erica Charette. “I think women can especially relate to this story because every woman wants to be swept off her feet and Darcy eventually does that with all of the things he does for Elizabeth and her family and she genuinely comes to find him to be a really remarkable man,� she said. Charette has been involved in the volunteer theatre troupe for half her life and though it was the love for theatre that initially drew her in, she said back stage there is also a business to run. “I’ve seen the RLOP go through it’s ups
and downs in the last 15 years and it’s really great to have this community theatre that is one of the longest running community theatres,� she said. “We are like a family, it really is. “ It’s a group effort
from volunteers – about 20 actors, a 14-person orchestra and 20 backstage – who all wear more than one hat. The troupe will hit the stage Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m..

Trade with China, but with open eyes
S
ir Wilfrid Laurier, Canada’s greatest prime minister, had two sage pieces of advice for Canadians about trade. First, free trade with the United States is the indispensable cornerstone of our prosperity. Second, we should build on that primary relationship by seeking markets wherever they are to be found. A century later, that is still good advice. Specialize, but diversify. We have free trade with the U.S., to whom we send the lion’s share of our exports, but we want to reduce our dependence on that single market. Put that unease about our dependence on America together with their recent erratic behaviour over the Keystone XL pipeline, for example, and Canadian eyes turn, quite naturally, to China and its vast expanding market. Yet there is a powerful but inarticulate ambivalence in the minds of Canadians about drawing closer to China. In the media that ambivalence is usually portrayed as a reservation about China’s treatment of its own people, or its “human rights record” at home. China indisputably is a conscienceless regime that treats domestic dissenters and opponents with breath-
taking callousness and cruelty. From its arrogant, unaccountable and corrupt system of government to its cheerful resort to firing squads (5,000 executions in 2009 – more than the rest of the world combined), harvesting of organs from opponents and its violent suppression of Tienanmen Square protesters, Tibetan autonomists and Falun Gong supporters, the odious Chinese regime is certainly an egregious offender against international norms of human rights. But that in itself is not sufficient to make us avoid trading with China. We have traded with as bad and worse regimes: the Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Libya before the revolution and others have all been places where Canadians have bought and sold despite appalling human rights records. Canada rightly criticizes all such regimes, but does not interfere with its own citizens’ rights to engage in trade as long as they do so in accordance with Canadian law. The real reason to be exceptionally wary and prudent in our relationship with China actually has nothing to do with how they treat their own people and everything with how they treat us. Make no mistake: China
BRIAN LEE
CROWLEY Troy Media
is projecting its amoral pursuit of its regime’s interests into the wider world, including right here in Canada. Wherever China has acquired economic and political power, it has used it to intimidate opponents and hold itself above the law. In Asia, for example, China unabashedly uses its growing economic and military clout to intimidate smaller countries. It is unwilling to see its expansive and weakly justified claims to resource-rich parts of the South China Sea subjected to normal rulesbased settlement in international forums. It prefers to become economically dominant in smaller countries like Vietnam and the Philippines and then use that power to bully their partner into submission. The recent welcome political liberalization in Burma
can be traced to its military junta’s increasing unwillingness to be pushed around by China and the consequent need to repair relations with the west. Small Asian countries warmly welcomed America’s stated intention of becoming more present in East Asia because they want a powerful counterweight to the overbearing Chinese. Then there is China’s aggressive campaign of spying and espionage against foreigners in general and Canadians firms, individuals and interests in particular. Despite considerable media coverage, Canadians seem blithely unaware of the extent of China’s spying efforts. To pick just one recent example, a defector from China’s intelligence services has indicated China has 1,000 economic spies at work in Canada, more than any other country. Canadian researchers have been instrumental in uncovering a worldwide softwarebased Chinese spy network that targeted sensitive government information, while industrial espionage has pillaged Canadian industrial and business secrets. In sum China’s is a nasty regime that wishes us ill, unashamedly exploits weakness in its trade partners and holds itself above both the
law and international norms of decency wherever it is to their advantage. We may be economically dependent on the U.S., but we debate that dependence and every exercise of American power openly and vigorously. We constantly tell America what we think without fear of serious retaliation because they are a mature transparent society that shares our values and operates under the rule of law. By contrast there is a great deal of pressure within Canada not to say anything that might “offend” the Chinese, on whom we are far less dependent. The subtext: they will punish us economically if we dare speak our minds. The only possible response is for us to speak away, while taking all the counter-measures necessary to protect ourselves, including aggressive counter-espionage and a healthy scepticism about the independence of Chinese companies from the regime in Beijing. By all means sell to China. But we should never change who we are to do so. Brian Lee Crowley is the Managing Director of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, an independent non-partisan public policy think tank in Ottawa.

of reach to Canadians a wealth of information, something particularly relevant in the area of scientific research on issues of national concern. The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, representing 23,000 federal scientists, has sent an open letter to the Harper government urging it to reopen the lines of communication and let scientists speak about their work without the censoring of the government’s communications and political staff, who massage material to conform to “political messaging.� The letter notes the heavyhanded control of information has produced absurd examples of federal scientists being barred from speaking publicly, even about published work - the breadth of holes in the ozone layer and a virus threatening the stocks of B.C. salmon. It is legitimate for govern-
ments to control their messages and they must have a chance to review research before public release. Policy proposals and draft legislation are tied to an administration. Advice to ministers is protected. But public understanding of the legitimacy of laws and necessity of services require the free flow of information, and media are critical to that relationship. Scientists produce research for the benefit of the country, not the employer of the day. Transparency and accountability demand that information flow freely. The Harper government should lift from scientists its 2007 protocol, which effectively bars them from speaking freely publicly. A government that acts as if it owns information gathered for and paid by citizens does a disservice to the public, the civil service and democracy - and it invites suspicion.
Veterans deserve straight answers An editorial from the Truro Daily News An ombudsman for veterans is speaking out against Veteran’s Affairs for inadequate explanations they’ve been giving to soldiers denied disability coverage. It appears the accusations are just. According to a report released Monday by ombudsmen Guy Parent, a review of letters from Veteran Affairs to soldiers who were denied disability coverage, revealed that none of the letters gave adequate explanations for the denial. According to the report, 15 per cent gave no explanation at all and many others simply cited legislation. This isn’t the first time that rights of disabled soldiers has
become an issue. Parent has also reported that many injured soldiers are often not told of all of the benefits and allowances they are entitled to and just last November a class-action suit against Ottawa was held at a Federal court in Halifax over the same issues. For the 2,000 soldiers injured in the 10-year mission in Afghanistan and the thousands more who suffer from mental health issues as a result of their service, this is of great importance and Parent is right to bring the issue to light. While certainly Veterans Affairs has a right to determine whether or not a person qualifies for a disability claim, the
people applying equally have a right to know why they were denied. As Parent has pointed out, the vague responses given by Veterans Affairs often hinders the applicants’ ability to appeal a decision. Nova Scotia has a proud history of military contributions around the world. In order to honour that history and preserve those traditions for the future, it’s essential that we treat our soldiers with the respect they deserve. They put their health and lives on the line while they serve. The least we can do as a nation is ensure they get the proper access to treatment and disability coverage when they return.

Time to remove the gag order An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press Minority government is a difficult animal to manage, with every move offering fodder for the opposition to seize and exploit. It was understandable then that the early years of the Harper administration were characterized by a rigid control of media access, tight-lipped ministers and “reporting lines� that gagged civil servants. It is time, however, that the Tories in Ottawa loosened up. A majority government is not under constant threat of dissolution. Yet the continuing stranglehold on information in the vast warren of government departments is evident to those in the media who are constrained by message managers demanding questions in writing in advance, which are vetted by senior department staff, and who get rare access to interviews with civil servants.

To See Ourselves Do you think – do you suppose it’s possible – that we might have become a little full of our selves? It’s an interesting expression, one I would say (having been reading a lot of Lemony Snicket with my son lately) that here means being so wrapped up in our own world view and circumstance that there is little or no room for anything else. Do you think – might it be possible – that we could beneďŹ t in our development as humans seeking better ways of being, from the insights and observations of people who are not so consumed by our view of the world as we are? In church we have a story (thousands of them actually) about a congregation that worked and lived and breathed their mission life. Fund raised, bake saled, collected, compiled, sewed and shipped all manner of goods and services to a grateful sister church in another part of the world. One day they invited some of the recipients to come tell them what else they were in need of. They came and all went well: the pot luck dinners; Sunday Services; slide shows; and presentations of trade goods produced by weavers, carvers and other artisans; the fair trade coffee and chocolate sale tables. It was judged a success all round. Until one of the hosts got carried away and asked, during the ďŹ nal presentation, at the end of the slide show and gratitude sharing, what the recipients thought of the community and the congregation. The responses were a bit, well, difďŹ cult. The recipients were truly pleased to be in relationship

with other people who cared enough to want to help ďŹ ll their gaps and lacks. They were happy to be given the opportunity to partner on various projects, to build together, to export products and to receive fair value for them. But they could not understand how their hosting community could be so giving, so sharing, so caring, and yet so bereft of a way of life they took for granted in their home community. They saw disconnections between neighbours, a lack of knowledge about the lives and circumstances of community members, a seeming uncaring attitude displayed in the contacts between people living in the same town, the same neighbourhood, on the same street, attending the same church, with children in the same schools, shopping in the same stores, attending the same community events. It mystiďŹ ed them. How could a people who cared so much about their plight, who knew so much about trade imbalances, the International Monetary Fund, the impact of plastics on the environment, the use and value of community schools, and so on, hold themselves back from true involvement in their own community? How could they travel to Hawaii for a well deserved vacation when the community elders living next door struggled to survive on an inadequate pension? How could that be? Do you suppose it’s possible that we’ve become a little, well, full of ourselves? Keith Simmonds, diaconal minister Communities in Faith Pastoral Charge (Beaver Valley, Rossland, Salmo and Trail BC)

VATICAN CITY - A Mohawk woman buried in Quebec will become the first Native American saint at a ceremony in October. Kateri Tekakwitha, who spent most of her life in what is now Upstate New York, will become the first aboriginal saint when she and six others are canonized at the Vatican. Pope Benedict made the announcement last Saturday after he appointed 22 new cardinals. Benedict had already approved miracles attributed to Tekakwitha, the final step toward sainthood. Known as the “Lily of the Mohawks,� she was born in New York in 1656. Tekakwitha is entombed in a marble shrine at the St. Francis Xavier Church in Kahnawake, Tekakwitha died in 1680 at age 24, and the process for her canonization began more than a century ago, in 1884. She was declared venerable in 1943. Pope John Paul beatified her in 1980, making her the first Native American to be beatified. Tekakwitha had a difficult life. Her mother, father and brother died of small pox when she was four years old and she was scarred by the disease. She was taken in by her uncle and aunt and got her first knowledge of Christianity from missionaries. She embraced it with zeal after being baptized when she was 18. Tekakwitha practiced her faith despite severe opposition and eventually fled to the area now known as Kahnawake, south of Montreal along the St. Lawrence River. It has been claimed that her scars disappeared upon her death, revealing great beauty, and that many sick people who attended her funeral were healed. It was also said that Tekakwitha appeared to two people in the weeks after she died.
SACRED HEART CWL
Meeting update Rossland Sacred Heart CWL has met twice since the start of 2012. The first meeting was held on Jan. 8. At this time members read and discussed annual reports which highlighted the accomplishments of 2011. February’s meeting was held on Feb. 12. To begin Ruth Dubois, spiritual director, led a discussion which focused on the gospel reading of the day. Why when Jesus cured the leper did He ask him not to tell anyone and then, why would the leper immediately disobey Jesus and go and tell everyone of the miracle. As an Registered Nurse, Ruth was able to explain the disease of leprosy to the group. A date has been set for the annual St. Patrick’s Day Tea. Fran Zanussi and Lil Karenko have graciously volunteered to convene the event which will be held on March 17th in the Parish Hall from 1:30 – 3:30 P.M. President, Alida Nesmith informed that this year’s World Day of Prayer would be held on March 2 at St. Anthony’s Church at 1:30 P.M. Christian Family Life representative, Carol Albo shared information concerning MP Stephen Woodworth’s initiative which is currently investigating the outdated Personhood Law Section 223 (1) which basically states that life begins when a baby is born, breathes on its own and the cord is cut. Carol shared some e-mail addresses for members who would like to support Stephen Woodworth’s initiative. With the approach of the Lenten season CWL has scheduled some dates to perform the Stations of the Cross. There will be an installation for new members on April 19.

SIMMONDS Hospice - support, care, companionship It’s no real surprise to find out that a great deal of work has gone into helping people die well. Over the past few decades the ‘Baby Boomer’ generation has experienced the loss of loved ones and has decided that if death cannot be ignored, it
can be supported in a humane, dignified and care filled manner. Advances have been made in medical, therapeutic, spiritual, and psychological responses to palliative care. Lives have been dedicated to developing hospice programs that offer an unparalleled combination of loving care to the dying and to those who are left bereft by death. We are beginning to come to terms with mortality, and hospice is a large part of the social response. In these columns you will read about hospice care – what it is and what it can offer. You will gain insights into what the Hospice Society can bring you and your loved ones as we take the path out of life
together. We seek to offer, in plain, understandable language, some of the benefits of current research, and developments that are available, or can be made available. Through our combined efforts, we hope you too might see the transition ahead as something not to be denied or shunted aside, but as a series of moments in which we can explore, in the company of others, some of the deepest learnings that have come to us in life. Hospice care is a gift we can all partake of. Death need not be focused on sorrow and suffering; it can move toward discerning where we’ve been and the legacy we leave in as pain free a way as can be offered. Come along with

It is our hope that this will be one more resource for people seeking information and support during one of the more difficult passages in the human experience. Difficult, we believe, in large part because our culture does not really know ‘what to do with death’ and so we are encouraged to deny its existence wherever and whenever possible.

Oscar-nominated actors share favorite movie moments THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - Many of this year’s Oscar-nominated actors first experienced the magic of movies as children. When asked on Oscar.com to reflect on their favourite movie moments, nominees such as Jessica Chastain, Kenneth Branagh, Gary Oldman and Octavia Spencer immediately went back in time. “My favourite was
perhaps the first time I saw ‘E.T.’ as a kid,” said Spencer, who is nominated for supporting actress for her turn as Minny Jackson in “The Help.” “The first time I saw E.T., the actual image of an alien, and he was so sweet-looking. I wanted him. I wanted E.T.” Oldman, up for best actor for his role in “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy,” said he remembers seeing “A

young kid at a Belfast theatre with his family when he experienced his first memorable movie moment: Seeing Dick Van Dyke “driving Chitty Chitty Bang Bang over a cliff at the end of the first half of that movie,” said the supporting actor nominee for “My Week With Marilyn.” “All the audience gave a huge, ”Aww,“ and then it said intermission and we didn’t know what was going to happen until we came back with popcorn and ice cream 10 minutes later,” Branagh recalled. “And it was a flying car! The car was going to fly, and that was just a wonderful moment of real sheer cinema magic.” Chastain, also nominated for “The Help,” said she was dazzled as a little kid watching “The Wizard of Oz.” “That was the beginning, for me, of my love affair with
movies and me wanting to be a part of that wonder,” she said. George Clooney and Viola Davis said they were both moved by the same film: 1976’s “Network.” Both cited Peter Finch’s unraveling character as particularly inspiring. “When he’s breaking down for the first time and he’s rambling and rambling and it’s so honest but at the same time so completely out of control and he says, ‘I’m just mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore,”’ recalled Davis, nominated for lead actress for her role in “The Help.” “It was just a revelation of a man who could be insane but at the same time was just so absolutely lucid.” The 84th annual Academy Awards will be presented Sunday at the Hollywood & Highland Center and broadcast live on ABC and CTV.

Something wonderful happened in the Regional Hospital in Cranbrook on Feb. 17, but it didn’t start out that way. It began when Martin Morawski from Toronto came to the information desk to get directions to a room on the second floor. The story he had to tell was not a very happy one. Martin and his fiancÊ Susan Krimmel were on Panorama Mountain in Invermere scouting out the perfect spot to get married.

ible enough, given that Beaver Valley ran away with the league title and outscored every other team by at least a goal a game, while Castlegar, despite having to play the Nitehawks a lot, tied for second overall and had the best defense in the league. It isn’t likely that Spokane will handle Beaver Valley. It is, however, a long way from dead certain the the Rebels will take the Leafs. It’s true Nelson finished 13 points behind Castlegar, but, the Leafs were playing very well as the season ended, even handed Beaver Valley its only loss in the final month. A momentary loss of concentration on the task at hand, beating Nelson, in order to look forward to playing the Nitehawks, a team Castlegar actually racked up a fourgame winning streak against this year, could be deadly for the Rebels. It all should work out well for Beaver

Valley. The Nitehawks should have a fairly comfortable ride into the next round. Castelgar and Nelson, bitter foes with evenly-matched rosters, could play a series that grinds up the winner ahead of that squad taking on Beaver Valley. The Smoke Eaters, despite being destined for the BCHL basement, have some games of importance of their own on tap. Last night they took on the dominant Penticton Vees, who have not lost in three monthsw. Most of the kids, being kids, don’t know it, but Trail hockey fans would relish their team throwing a stick into the spokes of the (any) Penticton team. Then it will be off to Merritt, which is battling to hold on to second spot’s home advantage, and a game against fellow interior also-rans Westside. After that, the games will all be against teams which need points to enhance their playoff prospects. These last 10 games will give the Smokies a chance to play for pride. We will see what we will see.
Do I need to change my ICBC insurance if I have a new driver in the house?
If this is the first time you have an inexperienced driver in your household, you more than likely have a restriction on your insurance that states “[the] owner, lessee, principal operator and their household members driving [this] vehicle must have held a valid driver’s licence for 10 years.” Once there is a new driver in your house, or someone with less than 10 years of driving experience, you need to have this restriction removed to allow for this driver to use your vehicle and be properly insured. This may result in an increase to your yearly premium. The additional amount is different for each person based on the vehicle, its use, your discount level and many other variables. Only once the new driver has achieved 10 years cumulative driving experience, or is no longer a member of the household, can the restriction be put back on the policy. If a new driver is away at school but still uses your address as their primary residence they are still considered a member of your household. An inexperienced driver who lives with you on a part time basis (i.e. every other weekend) would also be considered a member of your household. It’s also a good idea to think about increasing your Third-Party Liability. Liability coverage is very affordable and with multi drivers with various levels of experience operating your vehicle, there may be an increased potential for a claim. For more information on the 10 year experienced driver discount, or any other concerns regarding your insurance needs, please contact any one of our eight locations.

Packed house for heroes awards BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor
Volunteers are routinely underappreciated and rarely recognized but on Wednesday evening a capacity crowd packed the Waneta Room at the Best Western to show just how much 10 people mean to the community. It was standing room only as over 150 family, friends, athletes, organizers and supporters turned up to applaud the 10 Greater Trail recipients of Sport BC’s Community Heroes Awards and their tremendous contributions made to sport over the years. “I’m thrilled with the turnout - and surprised,” said Sport BC representative Carey Summerfelt who said about 25 turned up to the ceremony in 2010. “I honestly can’t say how important it is (to recognize these people). These volunteers put in countless hours and never get any recognition and it’s about time somebody gave it to them.” Sport BC and Teck Resources recognized Ken Koshey (hockey), Cliff Tyson (curling), Fred Bushell (skiing), Kathryn Johnston (figure skating), Barry Zanier (Premier’s sports award), Nicole Lord (Special Olympics), Tom Gawryletz (hockey), Ryan Kuhn (biking), Ray Nelson (rugby), and Keith Smyth (B.C. Games) for their long term commitment and dedication to sports in the region.
“These 10 individuals all support a very unique and important part of what our community is and these individuals you also see involved in so many other things,” said Teck spokesperson Carol Vanelli Worosz. After introductory remarks from Trail’s acting mayor Kevin Jolly, Summerfelt and Vanelli Worosz presented the awards, giving each recipient a moment to respond. “It’s something special really . . . It’s nice to be recognized for what you do,” said Tyson, a long time volunteer in curling and minor hockey. “A lot of people don’t understand, if it wasn’t for us volunteers we wouldn’t have clubs in Trail.” The hour-long ceremony was highlighted by many gracious and humorous remarks but all recipients displayed extraordinary class and humility. As Zanier so eloquently put it, “People in this area get involved in their activity because it enriches the lives of others and that makes it all worthwhile.” Ken Koshey’s whole RosslandTrail Atom Wings hockey team was on hand to support their coach, and as his co-coach Aaron Weishaupt observed, “He is the most positive guy I’ve ever met. He is incredible with the kids, just an awesome guy.” Being dubbed the Home of Champions is not without it’s responsibilities and a certain

amount of pressure to perform is required, not just on the playing surface but behind the scenes in organization, coaching, and administration - areas populated by volunteers. “Our community and, to some degree, our economy depends on people giving of their time freely and Trail has always been top notch in that regard,” said Jolly. “Our volunteers never let us down.” The volunteer community is essential to pull off events like the recent B.C. Seniors’ Games, said Smyth. “For every athlete, organizers need at least one volunteer.” Even in everyday activities, devoting one’s service so youngsters can enjoy sport is crucial. “We need the volunteers to keep the organizations running,” said community hero Johnston who has been involved in figure skating for over 50 years. “It’s a big part of keeping sports affordable for kids is by having volunteers run it.” Volunteering may take time and effort but in the end it’s worth it, says Nelson, who has been a rugby coach, player and official for over 35 years. “The best part of the whole thing was the people I met and the friends that I made.” The Community Sports Heroes Awards will be making the rounds to a half dozen communities across B.C. including Nelson next month.
The Beaver Valley Nitehawks kick off their 2012 playoff campaign tonight full of optimism and a decided advantage over first-round opponent Spokane Braves. The Nitehawks just finished up their best season in eight years, winning 42 games and taking the league title. They’ve also won eight of their past 10 games, are healthy and boast three of the top four scorers in the KIJHL in Chris Derochie, Craig Martin and Ryan Edwards and Dallas Calvin surely would have finished in the top five if he hadn’t missed 11 games. The 16-year-old Martin capped his rookie season by leading the KIJHL in goals, notching 48 tallies in 50 games, two more than Fruitvale native Rylan Duley of the Kimberley Dynamiters, while Derochie finished second in total points, 101, and assists, 72. The Hawks formidable offence has lit up opposition lamps a league leading 323 times this season, scoring 44 more times than the next best Kimberley and 131 more times than Spokane. Beaver Valley has as much depth as any team with forwards Calvin, Chris Johnson, Justin Niminiken, Mason Spear, Tyler Collins, and Max Flanagan capable of stepping up and carrying the team on any given night.
On the back end, a strong defence led by Arie Postmus, Nick Perez and Derek Lashuk should neutralize the Braves forwards. 19-year-old Uriah Machuga managed 78 points in his third year with Spokane and leads the team in scoring. In their last meeting, an 11-2 Nitehawk drubbing, their defensive transition was immediate. Once the Hawks ‘D’ gained possession they’d fire a quick, deep pass to a streaking forward generating breakaways and multiple two on ones. And if the Braves do manage a shot, the Nitehawks have two very capable goalies in Mike Vlanich and Zach Perehudoff. Both have played well this year and often spectacular finishing with an almost identical 2.88 and 2.84 GAA and .899 and .900 save percentage respectively. The Braves tandem of Branden Amatto and rookie Mitch Tyson have allowed exactly 100 more goals than the Hawks duo over the season. The Nitehawks also have yet to lose to the Braves this year, outscoring them 56-16 in eight games. The Braves are indeed in tough and the Hawks should roll over them in four. The Nitehawks host the Braves Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. before heading to Spokane Monday and Tuesday. The Castlegar and Nelson series also starts Friday in Castlegar at 7:30 p.m. at the Castlegar Complex.

Slippers and hot cocoa small price to save marriage Dear Annie: For the past year, my wife, “Janie,” has been getting hot flashes. She is always broiling in the house while the rest of the family freezes. She insists on keeping the temperature at 70, while the rest of us are most comfortable at 74. She recently purchased warm slippers for everyone and suggested we wear long sleeves. Annie, I like to wear T-shirts and walk barefoot. I work long hours, and when I come home, I like to shed most of my clothes. I pay the mortgage and should not be freezing in my own home. Our family doctor said the hot flashes could last for years. I say she is disrespectful to all of us. She says I am insensitive. We are at an impasse. I found out she is looking for an apartment. I love my wife and beg you to help us before it’s too late. -- Upstate New York Where It’s 20 Degrees
ANNIE’S
MAILBOX
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
Outside Dear New York: You think you’re uncomfortable? Imagine how your wife feels with an internal thermostat that periodically sets her on fire. The U.S. Dept. of Energy recommends that your home thermostat be set at 68 degrees in winter (78 degrees in summer). You can warm up more easily than your wife can cool down. We recommend a compromise. You offer to be comfortable in sweats if she will speak to her doctor about medication to control her hot flashes or visit a health food store for more natural remedies. A pair of slippers and
some hot cocoa seems a small price to pay to save your marriage. Dear Annie: My mother has three brothers. My grandmother’s eyes are blue, and my grandfather’s are bluegray. My mother and two of her brothers have brown eyes. From my college biology class and some Internet research, I understand this is genetically impossible. This leads me to believe my mother and uncles may not be my grandfather’s children. I also know that my grandmother had many miscarriages and a stillborn. My grandparents also have marital issues and have come close to divorcing on a few occasions. Should I speak to my mother about this? I’d like to know my biological family. -Brown-Eyed Girl Dear Brown-Eyed: Eye color is very complicated. While not common, it is indeed possible for blue-eyed parents to produce
brown-eyed children. And if your grandparents carry a mutation, it would make sense that more than one child would have brown eyes. So please don’t jump to any conclusions. If you are concerned that your genetic background is inaccurate, speak to your mother. Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Put Out in Peoria,” whose sister boycotted the nephew’s wedding because her children were not invited. I’ve photographed weddings for 15 years and can relate numerous accidents that have happened while parents were ignoring their children at receptions. I have seen cake tables topple because kids were playing underneath. They slide across the dance floor while their ignorant parents think it’s cute to see them knock people over. Once, a toddler ran up behind my husband,
who stepped back and fell over the boy. The kid wasn’t hurt, but my husband tore a ligament in his arm. I’ve seen children run into stone walls and glass doors and need to be transported to emergency rooms. Take it
from me. If you want an enjoyable evening, leave your children at home. Everyone will be safer. -- Photographer in Houston Dear Houston: Not all children are so wild, and not all parents are so negligent. And often,
the bride and groom want their little nieces and nephews in attendance. To avoid disasters, we recommend that bridal couples who wish to include young children hire babysitters to entertain and watch the kiddies.

CLASSIFIEDS
SUNDAY/MONDAY HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Sunday, Feb. 26, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Without question, your idealism is aroused today. You might be attracted to the idea of joining groups with charitable objectives. You certainly want to do good in the world today. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) People will respect and admire you today because you appear to have genuine sympathy for others. They also see you as someone with wisdom or the ability to give advice. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Enjoy the beauty of other cultures, if you can. Ideally, you will travel somewhere today -perhaps someplace that inspires you. If you cannot do this, then travel through film, books or discussions with people from different backgrounds. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your feelings of genuine sympathy for others, especially those who are in need, might provoke you to do some fund-
raising today. Or perhaps you see ways of helping someone else with something you share with another. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Conversations with close friends and partners are mutually sympathetic today. Because of good feelings and a deep, mutual understanding, you will feel close to someone.

Be aware that your idealism could confuse issues. (Be careful.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You’ll find it rewarding if you help a family member today,
especially someone who needs your help. That’s because in the last analysis, what is more important than relationships? Especially family relationships.

which is why you know how to approach them. YOU BORN TODAY You are sensitive, caring and empathetic.

ity types will be impressed! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might meet a powerful teacher today or a gurulike figure. You’re attracted to philosophical knowledge, religion and consciousness-raising experiences. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Someone, and it’s probably you, has great ideas about how to improve dealing with shared property, something that is jointly owned or inheritances, estates and debt. You see ways to make things better! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a good day to sit down with partners and close friends and candidly discuss how the relationship itself can be improved. (There’s always room for improvement.) Politely and gently put your cards on the table. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You definitely can do something today that will improve your health. No question. You might stop doing something harmful or introduce something that is beneficial to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Romance will be quite powerful today. You might feel swept off your feet by someone. Even sports events might knock your socks off. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Do whatever you can to
SATURDAY’S CROSSWORD
introduce improvements where you live. In particular, garbage areas, bathrooms and laundry areas will be excellent places to focus. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You are so persuasive today! This is a great day if you sell, market, teach, act, write, edit or need to convince anyone of anything. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You will be powerful in all your money dealings today. However, be careful shopping because you might feel obsessed about buying something. Easy does it. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve your appearance. How can you change your image for the better? YOU BORN TODAY You have a generous heart. You love to indulge others as much as you love to indulge yourself. You also know how to endear others to you through your charm. Personally, you’re a shrewd judge of character and never take anything for granted. You always test the waters. Look for opportunities to learn something or study in the coming year, because it will help you. Birthdate of: Elizabeth Taylor, actress; Josh Groban, singer; Donal Logue, actor.

Visac Gallery presents ‘photo impressionism’ exhibition TRAIL –The VISAC Gallery is presenting “A Way to See� by local photographer Ursula Abresch. Born in Chile and raised in Argentina, Ursula currently resides in Trail and dedicates much of her time to photography. She self describes her work as “photo impressionism� and uses photo-impressionism as a tool to
get to the essence of what makes a subject what it is. For example, a ponderosa pine: what makes that ponderosa a ponderosa, what makes it speak? What is the spirit of that tree so that you could show as little as possible and yet know, with certainty, that it is a ponderosa pine?

Ursula uses a Nikon DSLR, processes her work in Photoshop and prints on Hahnemuehle Fine Art paper using a HP printer. Contact: Ursula Abresch, Photographer ursula-abresch@ uniserve.com Time Schedule: Opening Night Reception: Friday March 2nd 6-8pm Exhibition Dates: March 2 – April 4, 2012 Artist Statement for “A Way to See�: Photo-impressionism allows for the abstraction of subjects to provide much more character than with a representational photo. Photo-impressionism makes it possible to express feelings without having to say a word, to put down thoughts, dreams, and fleeting moments in time, when a small change in light can make the difference between utterly
SUBMITTED PHOTOS
Two pieces of work “Autumn,� (bottom left) and “Whale� (above) will be part of Ursula Abresch’s display, which opens at the VISAC Gallery on March 2. glorius and plain drab. Perhaps more than anything though, the concepts of photoimpressionism makes me pay attention to colour. I play with colour and use it almost as if it
were the subject itself, which, in a way, it is, at least in photography. Light is colour. The gallery is open Monday to Wednesday, 10-2, and Thursday and Friday, 2-6 p.m.
