Deadline looms for aspiring filmmakers Original work will be showcased at the U19 film fest in Trail next month BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff
The Royal Theatre will soon draw back the curtains on West Kootenay youth with a flare for videography. But those between nine and 19 years old still have until the end of the week to submit an original film to be showcased at an Under 19 Film Festival at the Trail theatre April 14. The festival that is put on by the Kootenay Association for Science and Technology
(KAST) in conjunction with the Rossland Council for Arts and Culture will offer a snapshot of local youths’ perspective from behind the lens. Grade 9 Crowe students Tim Baldwin and Chris Tremblay from Fruitvale and Warfield’s Jordan Strobel are gearing up for their work to hit the big screen. The friends sharpened their skills when they participated in a filmmaking workshop last fall. This was prior to submitting a collaborated short film based on a zombie apocalypse to the REEL Youth Film Festival, an under-19 portion of the Rossland Mountain Film
Festival held last November. “I like picturing how it’s going to be, going out and filming it and seeing how it all turns out,” said Strobel. “The final product is very satisfying.” He has submitted a look at his ski season and collaborated with Tremblay on an environmental piece. Meanwhile Baldwin and Tremblay tell the story of a kidnapping, flashing back to a friendship shared in a dream sequence, before a rescue prevails. They also documented what people think about the 2012 phenomenon marking the end of the world.
The film fest offers $200 cash prizes in six categories – drama, documentary, sports/ adventure, animation, original music and the environment. There will also be $200 awarded to an audience choice submission and $100 plus a camera for the judge’s pick. Those who wish to participate have until Saturday to submit original work to the Rossland Council for Arts and Culture.

Affordable housing projects could be cropping up across the Columbia Basin this summer after a joint announcement earmarking $10 million for rental housing ventures was made recently. Called the Affordable Rental Housing initiative (ARHi), the new program will be available throughout the Columbia Basin, including the Greater Trail region, to help solve the housing crunch afflicting most corners of the Kootenays. Using a combined $5 million in investment over three years from the federal and provincial governments, a further $5 million has been added to that sum by the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) through a separate funding agreement with the province. CBT created the program to leverage extra federal and provincial dollars into the basin, said Delphi Hoodicoff, director of communications with the CBT. “Our objective is to ensure we can build as many units as possible with those dollars,” she said. “Whatever proposals can come forward to make these units happen, we welcome those submissions.” With some organizations already working on trying to resolve the issue and address some of the shortcomings, there was a need for a program to fund the work that was already going on out there, she noted, and create opportunities for new developments. “What we have heard from most communities in the basin is that there is a need for affordable rental housing,” Hoodicoff said. “Whatever may be causing that, whether it is high real estate or lack space and buildings, there is a wide range of reasons.” The procurement process for the ARHi will be revealed later this week and is expected to answer questions of how the program will work on the ground, how it will accept applications for project funding, who can apply, and how much will be given out. A request for proposals process will also be announced at the end of the week, giving the information necessary for communities and organizations in the region on how ARHi will work on the ground. As well, the CBT has not yet released where the greatest need may be in the Columbia Basin for affordable housing, said Hoodicoff, although affordable rental housing is an issue across the region.

NEW BUSING SCHEDULE
Funding allows link between two cities BY SALLY MACDONALD Cranbrook Townsman

Rotary Way and the North Star Rails to Trails will soon be connected, thanks to a $280,000 grant from the provincial government. MLA Bill Bennett announced funding for the City of Cranbrook from the Community Recreation Program on Thursday, March 22 at a Rotary Club luncheon. “Rotary has played a leadership role in the project,” said Bennett. “I don’t think there’s another community in the Kootenays with the amount of trail there is in Cranbrook.” The province is kicking in $279,935, which is 80 per cent of the project’s total cost, $350,000. With that money, Mayor Wayne Stetski told the Rotary members, Cranbrook will be able to link the Rails to Trails walking and bicycling route to Kimberley with the Rotary Way trail through Cranbrook.
“In the future, you will be able to start in Spirit Square and make your way all the way to Kimberley,” said Stetski. The new section of trail will go from where Rotary Way starts at the Kinsmen quad ballpark on Willowbrook Drive to the Rails to Trails trail head behind Home Depot. The trail will cross the highway at one of the existing red-light intersections, possibly at the Chamber of Commerce. What’s more, the funding will allow Rotary Way to connect to Rotary Park and downtown Cranbrook. Finally, the funding will be used to replace four bridges: one over Idlewild Lake, and three over Joseph Creek in Kinsmen Park. “This grant will allow an essential ‘link’ trail to be completed that will connect Rotary Way with Rails to Trails and to other community recreation assets such as the quad park,” said Bennett.

Developer pitches revamped Shelter Bay project
Kennel cough outbreak
BY ALEX COOPER Revelstoke Times Review
Developer Ender Ilkay is returning to Revelstoke tonight to show a new set of plans for his proposed 5,200 acre development near Shelter Bay south of Revelstoke. Ilkay will be hosting an open house and presentation during which he will go over the changes to the 722-unit development. He held his first open house for the development in November 2010. Since then, he said he went through the feedback and fine tuned the plan. He said the new plan has a smaller footprint. “The amount of area of the land covered by development ends up being
a little smaller,” he said. “The unit count stays consistent. It’s basically configuration is the key thing that’s changed.” He said that more units will have full water and sewer services rather than be on their own well and septic systems. “We’ve increased the amount of units that can actually have full services. That took some work to adjust the layout and so forth,” he said. “I don’t want to give everything away because I want people to come and see it.” Ilkay acquired the land when the forestry company Pope & Talbot went bankrupt in 2008. Ilkay recently met
with the Area B Advisory Planning Commission to go over the new plans. “He definitely has listened to what the APC has had to say,” said Area B director Loni Parker. “Of course there are some outstanding concerns because it’s still early on in the process. “I think he’s really trying to do his due diligence to make sure that he puts something together that would be acceptable to the community.” At the last open house in 2010, Ilkay’s proposal was supported by some people for the potential economic benefits, however it also came under criticism for the potential environmental impact.

Since the last open house Ilkay saw one of his proposed development near Victoria turned down by the local government. He said that decision has not had any impact on the Shelter Bay development. “It’s a completely different project,” he said. “I learn from every experience so in that aspect I think it helped but has it changed anything? No.” He said he is aiming to start the official zoning process with the ColumbiaShuswap Regional District after the open house. “If all that goes well, then obviously we’d like to get underway,” he said. “I’d love to see actual development on Phase 1 starting next year.”

The Nelson Animal Hospital has seen an influx of furry friends recently as an outbreak of kennel cough has local dogs needing some extra attention. “Over the last couple weeks we’ve seen a lot of kennel cough,” said Dr. Celeste Bignell, veterinarian at the Nelson Animal Hospital. “The first cases that I was seeing were dogs that had picked it up at the dog walk, but in the last several days it’s been a lot more dogs that have been picking it up because neighboring dogs are sick. Bignell said that kennel cough is similar to a cold that humans would get and the treatment for kennel cough is supportive care. “A bit of warm water, unpasteurized honey and lemon juice can go a long way to help them with their cough and help them feel better… some of the really sick dogs need to be on IV fluids to maintain their hydration, get their fever under control and make sure they’re eating.” Kennel cough typically lasts about three weeks and is described as sounding like the dog has something stuck in their throat.

Man ‘lucky to be alive’ after reaction to ecstasy BY VIKKI HOPES Abbotsford News
A 24-year-old Abbotsford man says he is lucky to be alive after experiencing a bad reaction from ecstasy on March 16 and spending three days in a medically induced coma. The man, whose name is not being released, issued a written statement today (Monday) through the Abbotsford Police Department. He and his parents have declined to speak publicly. “I am a miracle. I was saved by the grace of God for a reason. I want my life and this experience to have a positive impact on the lives of others,” he wrote. Const. Ian MacDonald of the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) said the man, who lives with his parents, was in a room of the house alone on the evening of Friday when he took some ecstasy just before midnight. MacDonald would not say how much the man took or what form of the drug he used, but it was not the first time he had ingested the substance. MacDonald described him as “a good kid from a good family” who had never been in trouble with police and was just getting back into the workforce. In his written statement, the man said he took what he thought was a safe dose of ecstasy, but soon experienced a high that was “much more intense” than his previous experiences, and he began to panic. He immediately thought of 17-year-old Cheryl McCormack and 20-year-old Tyler Miller – Abbotsford residents who died after taking ecstasy in separate incidents late last year and whose
stories were made public. He alerted his parents, who were sleeping, and asked to be taken to hospital, confessing to them that he had used ecstasy that night and on previous occasions. “To his parents, this was news to them,” MacDonald said. The man walked into the emergency department but collapsed a few minutes later. He was placed in a medically induced coma, which is done when the body temperature spikes dangerously high and a patient must be immersed in ice. The man began showing small signs of improvement after three days, and regained full consciousness on day four. He was released from hospital one week after he had been admitted, with no signs of organ or brain damage – common side effects of those who survive an ecstasy overdose. MacDonald said the man’s immediate response to his health emergency made a difference in the outcome. Medical experts have previously indicated that the longer a person waits to be treated in such a situation, the less the chances of survival. McCormack and Miller families are to be credited for sharing the stories about their loved ones’ deaths because the information was foremost in the man’s mind, MacDonald said. The man said his story can be used as a valuable lesson about the dangers of drug use. “With any dose of whatever you may think you are getting, you could very easily end up like others who took the risks I did,” he said.

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - The British Columbia government has cleared the way for a special prosecutor to lay polygamy charges linked to the RCMP investigation in the southeastern B.C. community of Bountiful. Peter Wilson was appointed by the province’s criminal justice branch earlier this year to examine possible charges related to the movement of teen brides across the U.S. border to marry much older men.

But he was not given the mandate to consider polygamy charges, despite a landmark court decision last November that concluded the antipolygamy law is constitutional. The government is now expanding Wilson’s powers, Attorney General Shirley Bond said Monday as she announced the province has elected not to ask a higher court to review last year’s B.C. Supreme Court decision. The move enables Wilson to look into further charges.
Fishermen trapped by ice on Okanagan Lake BY JENNIFER SMITH Vernon Morning Star
Two fishermen managed to reel themselves into a chilly situation Saturday. A pair of North Okanagan men were in a small fishing boat on Okanagan Lake when they became trapped in the ice near Newport Beach on Westside. Vernon Search and Rescue were called out
to assist the fishermen at approximately 7 p.m. Saturday. “It was very unusual,” said Leigh Pearson, search manager, who has never attended such a call of ice entrapment. Sitting approximately half a kilometre from shore, the fishermen could not escape the ice, which moved in and trapped them in

the late afternoon. “There was probably 50 or 60 feet of water surrounding the ice,” said Pearson. The fishermen were assisted by two people in a canoe until the 25 search and rescue members arrived on scene. Then, dressed in cold-water protective gear, two members walked out on the ice
and retrieved the fishermen and brought them to shore by 9 p.m. Aside from being a little chilly, the fishermen were OK and were not hypothermic. A resident on Westside witnessed the incident and says it is dangerous to be on the lake this time of year due to the ice flows.

The court found that the harm polygamy causes to women and children outweighs the law’s violation of the right to religious freedom. Provincial lawyers say the lower court ruling is powerful enough to support criminal charges against those in polygamous relationships without getting the opinion of a higher court, Bond said. “The true victims of polygamy are the women and children this trial court decision protects,” Bond said.

ONTARIO
Top court nixes brothel ban THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A ban on brothels puts prostitutes at risk and is therefore unconstitutional, Ontario’s top court ruled Monday in a decision hailed by sex-trade workers as pivotal in making their lives safer. “The new spring has come for sex workers, a new era has been ushered in,� lawyer Alan Young, the lawyer who launched the challenge, said Monday. “There was always this feeling they were second-class citizens who didn’t have rights and simply should just be quiet about their plight.� Valerie Scott, one of three women involved in the case, said “I feel almost like we’re debu-
tantes at a ball.� “It’s pivotally important for women to work together, two or three or four women working together,� Scott said. “When you have people around, generally, you don’t see as much violence. “If everyone had to work alone and isolated, no matter what occupation you’re in.. there would be a lot more violence in the world.� The ruling came in an appeal by the federal and Ontario governments of a lower court ruling that found three provisions dealing with prostitution were unconstitutional in that they contributed to the dangers faced by prostitutes.
However, the Ontario Court of Appeal - in its decision Monday upheld the ban on soliciting as a reasonable way to protect communities. It also “read in� wording to the criminalization of living on the avails of prostitution to make it clear that exploitation of prostitutes should be illegal. “Prostitution is a controversial topic, one that provokes heated and heartfelt debate about morality, equality, personal autonomy and safety,� the court wrote in a split decision stretching to 132 pages. “It is not the court’s role to engage in that debate. Our role is to decide whether or not the challenged laws accord with the constitution.�
QUEBEC
Independence issue not dead yet THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - A new public-opinion poll suggests Quebecers still have an appetite for independence if they don’t get constitutional reform. Given a choice of three options,
independence was the most popular choice among poll respondents asked what they would want if the Constitution isn’t revised. The Leger Marketing poll was commissioned by a group of academics just before
the 30th anniversary of the patriation of the Constitution. The law of the land was approved by every province except Quebec. Later attempts to reopen the discussion resulted in spectacular failure, and div-

ided the country. The new survey says 44.5 per cent of Quebecers would support separating from Canada if the Constitution could not be changed enough to satisfy the majority of the province.
EDMONTON - Alison Redford, seeking her first public mandate as premier of Alberta, is sending voters to the polls April 23. A smiling Redford made the walk Monday down the legislature’s thirdfloor marble hallway, past the portraits of the province’s previous premiers, to Lt.-Gov. Don Ethell’s office, where she asked him to sign the writ dissolving the government and calling the election. “We’ve met before but never under circumstances like this,� Redford said to Ethell, who presided over her swearing-in ceremony as premier in October. Ethell also signed off on a senatorin-waiting ballot to be held at the same time as the election. Redford then headed to her first campaign event - a speech where she was flanked by her Edmonton-area candidates. She struck an optimistic tone. “We have a tremendous economy in this province and we have a won-
derful quality of life,� she said. “I don’t want this to be a campaign about fear. I want this to be a campaign about hope.� Redford’s Progressive Conservatives are gunning for a 12th consecutive majority dating back to 1971, but it promises to be a bitter fight. After years of smashing opponents on the left side of the political spectrum, the Tories are being challenged on the right. The Wildrose party under leader Danielle Smith has grown in popularity in recent years by staking claim to the traditional Tory turf of balanced budgets and landowner rights. They argue the Conservatives have become profligate spenders, running up billions of dollars in budget deficits in recent years despite oil hovering at US$100 a barrel. “I think Albertans understand that this party does not deserve another majority and they are looking for another party for whom to cast their vote,� Smith told reporters.
Bars should limit drinks, says judge THE CANADIAN PRESS FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. - A judge says the Alberta government should pass a law limiting the number of drinks a person can be served in a bar. The recommendation is in an inquiry report about the death of Ronald Joseph Macaulay. Macaulay died in November 2007 after drinking at least 20 ounces of hard liquor in less than three hours at a hotel bar in Fort McMurray. He had a blood alcohol level of about .50 more than six times the legal driving limit. He died in hospital. “In my view, this was a case of binge drinking,� provincial court Judge James Jacques wrote in his report released Monday. He described the province’s Gaming and Liquor Act as an “insuffi-
cient safeguard.� It currently requires bartenders stop serving liquor to patrons who appear intoxicated. “Bar staff can be trained to look for signs of intoxication, but unless there is some hard limit on the amount of alcohol that a patron may be served over a given time, rapid drinking binges will continue to take lives.� Jacques said the province should consult with qualified experts to determine the appropriate limit of 5)& ,005&/":n4 05& &/":n4 0/-:

But it would, in my view, reduce significantly the likelihood of incidents like the one that took the life of Mr. Macaulay.� Jacques said it’s not known if Macaulay had anything to drink before he walked into the bar four years ago.

Payroll control and the teachers’ federation
B
oth NDP leader Adrian Dix and his education critic Robin Austin have recently tried to sell the media a fictitious story about the party’s successful history of negotiations with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. With the ritual combat between the BCTF and the B.C. government flaring once again in early March, Dix bragged to reporters that the last time he was involved in teacher talks, it resulted in a 0-0-2 wage settlement. That was in 1998, when Dix was working for then-premier Glen Clark. The real 1998 story is useful, because then as now, the B.C. government was in a financial squeeze and looking at a huge set of negotiations with government unions in health and other sectors as well as education. Glen Clark, an ex-industrial union organizer, was known for pushing nego-
tiators aside and taking control of hot files. The premier’s office took the lead in teacher talks, trying to set a strong precedent for low wage settlements similar to today’s “net zero” mandate. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, representing the school districts, was marginalized and treated with the same disdain that the BCTF still reserves for them. And the result was an agreement where the union bartered higher wages for hundreds more positions and other benefit gains. This was one of the key mistakes that led to today’s showdown over class size and composition. Once trustees got a look at the premier’s 1998 deal, they refused to sign. For the first and only time, the government had to legislate the settlement on school boards. The BCTF membership endorsed the 1998 deal
TOM
FLETCHER B.C. Views by a large margin, and it did indeed set the tone for other union settlements in the late 1990s. Press reports at the time put the total cost of this supposed wage freeze at an 11-percent increase in the provincial payroll. Before I get into the court battles that followed after the NDP government was dumped, there is a business principle here. One of the first things I had to learn as a private sector manager is that if you don’t control your budget, you aren’t really a
manager. And no one who lets authority over staffing levels slip away can possibly control their budget. Control over staffing levels is what the NDP let slip to the BCTF in 1998. And it is what the B.C. Liberals took back in 2002, with legislation that removed class size and composition from bargaining. In the constantly repeated BCTF rhetoric, this was the “illegal stripping” of union contract terms that was struck down in April, 2011 by the B.C. Supreme Court. A closer reading of Justice Susan Griffin’s decision shows that she gave Education Minister George Abbott an out. If the province replaces staffing level bargaining with “an equivalent process of good faith consultations or negotiation, then the legislation might not be an interference with freedom of association….”
Bill 22 was written with this decision in mind, reasserting the government’s control over the payroll with a $165 million fund for special needs and a mediator to demonstrate those “good faith consultations.” University of Victoria business professor Ken Thornicroft noted last week that ceding control over class size to the union amounts to delegating authority over spending to someone who is not elected. The legality of that will no doubt be examined in the BCTF’s next courtroom assault on the provincial treasury. It’s an important comparison for voters. Which party is better able to represent the public interest in hardball negotiations with 300,000 unionized employees?

LETTERS & OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Where is freedom and prosperity? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna take us right back to the hungry thirties â&#x20AC;&#x153; a rather pessimistic old timer said to me just recently. My wife said; â&#x20AC;&#x153; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending too much time talking to old people â&#x20AC;&#x153;. As if I have a choice; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s either that or buy one of them blackberries. But seriously; the most significant thing I remember, as a six year old in the late thirties, is the nervousness and almost palpable fear I sensed in my mother when dad, a stonemason, was due to come home from work on Saturdays. But only on Saturdays. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have long weekends yet in those days. It was years later before I learned that the reason for her anxiety was the possibility of a lay-off notice in dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pay-packet. (No unemployment insurance either) And we almost made it from paycheck to paycheck, but not often, according to my mother. Now, I personally am not pessimistic enough to suggest that we will ever go back to the conditions prevailing in those days and I must admit that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Occupyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has helped my thinking a bit in that regard. There can be no question that the last four or five decades have seen vast improvements in the standard of living. Thanks to the hard work and enormous sacrifices of union members in the past - and some major concessions granted working people because of a threatening alternative political system that was rapidly gaining ground in many European countries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we started
â&#x20AC;&#x153;having it good.â&#x20AC;? It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all come easy; many in the non-union sector criticized the unions and its actions, as if oblivious to the fact that they too benefited from the increase in the living standard, often exponentially so. I thought this was most graphically illustrated by one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest banks when they decided to preserve the facade of their modest two or three story edifice of the fifties and incorporate it in the facade of their new quarters one of the highest skyscrapers on the Toronto skyline. But â&#x20AC;&#x153;having it goodâ&#x20AC;? meant feeling comfortable, maybe too comfortable. Many saw no need to leave adolescence behind. We rose en masse - to the bait of easy credit and the average home of 1500 square feet in the fifties and sixties became the mansion of twice that size. The phrase â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; I deserve it â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; became like a refrain, all while blissfully unaware that the real world doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a hoot about what we deserve. We even had the precious luxury of being able to tell one another that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; we live in a free country â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;, a phrase that has started to ring rather hollow since Bill 22 and the extensive use by both federal and provincial governments of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;whipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of back-to-work legislation. The apparent ease by which our governments took away the right - the freedom - of public sector unions to negotiate legal contracts is highly disturbing and raises questions about the future of private sector unions.
It has now become obvious that Solidarity - in the sense of unionism - has lost much of its meaning and above all, its potency. Not only because of a declining membership - many jobs having disappeared to China, Mexico and who knows where - but also because many of the present members can no longer afford to vote for strike action for fear of repossession when without paycheck for any length of time. Hunger and deprivation leave long memories and it is good that younger generations were spared these. But only having known the good times comes with a certain vulnerability I think, and we can only hope for enough awareness to know that freedom and prosperity walk hand in hand. That once freedom is taken away from us, prosperity is bound to follow. While it is certainly gratifying to see the obvious signs of prosperity for working people today, it would be foolish to ignore the many clear signs that all is not well in the land of plenty: The many young adults that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to leave the nest, the even greater number of kids having to go to school in trailers, the lack of affordable long-termcare facilities, the sky-rocketing cost of higher education and the increasing number of food banks are just a few of them. A bit of soul searching on our part might not be amiss, especially when election time rolls around again. Peter van Iersel Fruitvale
Mortgage tweaks are prudent An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press Economist Milton Friedman said the central function of government was to protect the freedom of people from external enemies and from fellow citizens. Although he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree, the state is sometimes also required to protect people from themselves. This can be the most controversial role of government, since it involves denying people the right to put themselves at risk. In the case of mortgage lending, however, the risk of easy money is not just that it might hurt the borrower, but that it could cause a meltdown that ripples across the economy and hurts everyone. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the federal government has moved twice in the past four years to tighten the rules for buying a house, reducing the amortization to 35 years from 40 years in 2008, and then to 30 years last
year for mortgages with loanto-value ratios of more than 80 per cent. Ottawa also withdrew government insurance on homeequity lines of credit and lowered the maximum amount Canadians could borrow in refinancing their mortgages to 85 per cent from 90 per cent of the value of their homes. The goal was to promote saving through home ownership and limit the repackaging of consumer debt into mortgages guaranteed by taxpayers. The countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial regulator is now recommending that the screws be tightened again in the housing sector in an effort to protect both banks and consumers - from themselves. The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions wants lending institutions to exercise greater due diligence in issuing homeequity lines of credit and con-
ventional mortgages to ensure the borrower is capable of handling the debt, and not by the skin of his teeth. The purpose is to prevent the kind of subprime disaster that devastated the U.S. housing market in 2008, wiping out billions of dollars in value and several banks in the process. Banks have been offering historically low mortgage rates, which have encouraged borrowing and fuelled the redhot market. But a sharp rise in interest rates or an economic downturn could leave overextended Canadians with properties they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford, or with homes worth less than the purchase price. Friedman warned about the risks of the nanny state, but in this case Ottawa should tighten the rules to protect the economy and to ensure that banks and consumers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let greed get the best of them.

Cancer survivor bungee jumps to celebrate 70th birthday ANN ANDERSEN Cowichan News Leader Pictorial
It’s a long way down. That was Kitty Gaucher’s final thought before she plunged from a bridge over the Nanaimo River in a bungee jump last weekend to celebrate her 70th birthday. “That’s the scariest thing I’ve ever done!” she exclaimed to the News Leader a few days after the jump. “I felt so much fear and anxiety, but I told myself I could do it even though I didn’t want to,” she said. “Now, I feel empowered. That’s another accomplishment from my bucket list.” Before the 150-foot plunge at the Nanaimo river’s WildPlay Elements Park, Gaucher tucked a picture of the son lost in a motor vehicle accident 12 years ago into a pocket “so he jumped with me” and smoothed “Kitty” duct tape across her mouth “to keep my dentures in.” The breast cancer survivor wore a pink Believe t-shirt as she followed jumps by daughter Nova and grandson Mitch, a Camosun college student. About 40 relatives and friends waving signs turned out under sunny skies Saturday to encourage grandmother Gaucher to fulfill her dream. Among them were parents from the licensed day care she ran in Victoria and a surprise carload from Kitimat. “It was the biggest shock when we drove up and saw my adopted son Noel, his wife Michelle and their daughter Brandy who drove the round trip of 1,800 miles to support me,” she said. Another surprise was that WildPlay unexpectedly gave her the jump as a birthday gift and asked her to sign a model release to allow photos to be used by the company. She was pleased on both counts, she says. Another bucket list item for Gaucher is to try dragon boating. She recently signed up with Cowichan Valley Dragon Divas and will apply to pose nude in their next diva calendar.
WASHINGTON - The last frontier on Earth is out-of-this-world, desolate, foreboding, and moon-like, James Cameron said after diving to the deepest part of the ocean. And he loved it. “My feeling was one of complete isolation from all of humanity,” Cameron said Monday, shortly after returning from the strange cold dark place nearly 11 kilometres below the western Pacific Ocean that only two men have been to. “I felt like I literally, in the space of one day, had gone to another planet and come back. It’s been a very surreal day.” Cameron, whose imagination of alien worlds yielded the blockbuster movie “Avatar,” said there was one thing he promised to himself: He wanted to drink in how unusual it is. He didn’t do that when he first dove to the watery grave of the Titanic, and Apollo astronauts have said they never had time to savour where they were. “There had to be a moment where I just stopped, and took it in, and said, ‘This is where I am; I’m at the bottom of the ocean, the deepest place on Earth. What does that mean?”’ Cameron told reporters during a Monday conference call after spending three hours at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. “I just sat there looking out the window, looking at this barren, desolate lunar plain, appreciating,” Cameron said. He also realized how alone he was, with that much water above him. “It’s really the sense of isolation, more than anything, realizing how tiny you are down in this big vast black unknown and unexplored place,” Cameron said. Cameron said he had hoped to see a strange

Filmmaker and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence James Cameron emerges from the Deepsea Challenger submersible after his successful solo dive to the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the ocean, Monday. deep sea monster like a creature that would excite the storyteller in him and seem like out of his movies, but he didn’t. He didn’t see tracks of small primitive sea animals on the ocean floor as he did when he dove more than eight kilometres deep weeks ago. All he saw were voracious shrimp-like critters that weren’t bigger than 2.5 centimetres. In future missions, Cameron plans to bring “bait” - like chicken - to set out. Cameron said the mission was all about exploration, science and discovery. He is the only person to dive there solo, using a sub he helped design. He is the first person to reach that depth 10,843 metres - since it was initially explored in 1960 There had been race to the bottom among rich and famous adventurers. Sir Richard Branson of Virgin industries-fame has been building his own one-man sub to explore the depths of the ocean. Branson told The Associated Press on Monday that Cameron’s dive was “a fantastic achievement.”
Branson said he hoped to explore a different deep place first now, instead of the Mariana Trench. He planned later this year to dive to the deepest part of the Atlantic, the Puerto Rican trench, which is only eight kilometres from his home.
on power. He said he would return, as would the sub’s Australian codesigner, Ron Allum. “I see this as the beginning,” Cameron said. “It’s not a one-time deal and then moving on. This is the beginning of opening up this new frontier.”
“It’s really the sense of isolation, more than anything, realizing how tiny you are down in this big vast black unknown and unexplored place.” JAMES CAMERON
That area is just shy of 10 kilometres deep and has not been explored yet. Branson said he hopes to take his oneman sub and join Cameron in a tandem dive of solo subs: “Together, we’ll make a formidable team.” Cameron spent more than three hours at the bottom, longer than the 20 minutes Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard spent in the only other visit 52 years ago. But his time there was shorter than the six hours he had hoped for and he didn’t reach the trench walls, because he was running low
“To me, the story is in the people in their quest and curiosity and their attempt to understand,” Cameron said. He spent time filming the Mariana Trench, which is about 320 kilometres southwest of the Pacific island of Guam. The trip down to the deepest point took two hours and 36 minutes, starting Sunday afternoon. His return aboard his 12-tonne, limegreen sub called Deepsea Challenger was a “faster-thanexpected 70-minute ascent,” according to National Geographic, which sponsored the
expedition. Cameron is a National Geographic explorer-in-residence. The only thing that went wrong was the hydraulics on the system to collect rocks and critters to bring them back to land. Just as he was about to collect his first sample, a leak in the hydraulic fluid sprayed into the water and he couldn’t bring anything back. When Cameron climbed into his sub, it was warm because it was near the equator and his cramped vehicle - his head hit one end and his feet the other was toasty because of the heat given off by electronics. It felt “like a sauna” with temperatures of more than 38 degrees Celsius, he said. But as he plunged into the deep, the temperature outside the sub dropped to around 2.2 C, he said. The pressure on the sub was immense - comparable to three SUVs resting on a toe. The super-strong sub shrank three inches under that pressure, Cameron said. “It’s a very weird environment,” Cameron said. “I can’t say it’s very comfortable. And you can’t stretch out.”

HAYWOOD NATIONALS
Black Jack skiers wrap up season BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor
Black Jack skiers were inspired by the racing of some of the world’s best at the Haywood national championships in Mont Sainte Anne, Que. as the event finished up with its long-distance races Saturday. “It was a good week for the club and a good week for the B.C. division,” said Black Jack coach David Wood. “We had tough conditions but overall we did well.” The B.C. team had its best medal haul ever, with 20 podium finishes, placing third overall and second in the junior categories. Considering racers had to deal with 17 C weather and organizers used nitrogen fertilizer to keep the snow from melting, the results were impressive, said Wood. Members of the wildly successful National Ski Team including World Cup medalists Devon Kershaw, Quebec native Alex Harvey and Ivan Babikov flew in from Falun, Swe. earlier in the week just to close out the season at the nationals. “Having Alex there, the interest in Quebec was huge,” said Wood. By the final race, Harvey and Babikov were vying for the grand aggregate and it all came down to Saturday’s 50-kilometre classic. Harvey and Kershaw stuck together most of the race, eventually taking a sizeable lead. As the racers headed out on their final 5-k lap, Harvey and Kershaw had over a three-minute gap on the chase group led by Babikov. The pair kept up the pace and it looked like it would be a two-man race to the finish, with Kershaw seeking to avenge a former photo-finish loss to Harvey in the sprint. As Kershaw of Onaping Falls and Harvey of Mont Ste. Anne entered the stadium, the expected sprint to the finish didn’t materialize. Instead, the skiers slowed down joined arms and skis to cross the finish line together. Their times were recorded as identical to the 100th of a second, 2:14:45.95, and double-gold medals awarded. In other events, NST member Chandra Crawford won the Senior Women’s 30-k classic and the aggregate trophy, while in junior women, Black Jack’s Rebecca Reid had a great silvermedal ski in the 20-k race. Reid headed a group of eight skiers that flew to the front, setting the pace early. Reid, Maya MacIssac-Jones and Anne-Marie Comeau of Mont. Ste. Anne broke away on the second lap, but MacIsaac-Jones of the Rocky Mountain ski club stretched her lead in the final 5-k to win it as Reid held off Comeau for the silver medal. Reid finished strong this season, as she skied to second in the Junior Women’s Aggregate and first in the J-2 Aggregate. Jillian Reynolds of Black Jack cruised to fifth in 7.5-k race of the Junior Girls 2 division. Black Jack’s Shawn Degroot also had a great showing in the Junior Boys, skiing to a bronze medal behind Scott Hill and Thomas Hardy in the 15-k event. Geoffrey Richards of Black Jack finished a strong season with a silver in the Junior Men’s Aggregate and J-2 Aggregate. After winning the sprint, Richards finished with a sixth-place finish in the 30-k classic mass start. Black Jack’s David Palmer came in 14th in the race, Julien Locke 18th and Peter Locke 24th.

LEISURE
Boyfriend should not have joint bank account with ex-wife Dear Annie: I have been with “Tony” for three years. When I started seeing him, I didn’t realize he was still legally married to a woman who cheated on him. He promised to divorce, but things remain the same. He claims “it’s just a piece of paper” and we are married in our hearts. I’ve tried explaining that it feels disrespectful, but he doesn’t get it. Tony and his wife wanted to avoid court, so they drew up papers with a mediator. But each time she sends them, he finds she has hidden something that goes against what they agreed, and he refuses to sign until the papers are fixed. But Tony always waits for her to make the next move. In the past, whenever he pushed for resolution, she made it difficult for him to see their children. It annoys me that Tony doesn’t try harder to end this. Worse, he

and his wife still have a joint checking account. He keeps saying he’ll close it, but he hasn’t. Tony is a known procrastinator, but I am hurt and frustrated. Enough is enough. I don’t want to throw away what we have, but I’m beginning to resent him and his promises. I think the only way he will open his eyes is if I leave. But I love him, and our family is happy together. Am I being unreasonable? -- Tired of Waiting Dear Tired: Tony doesn’t want to rock the boat and figures you’ll stick it out. But it could take a long time, and his wife enjoys holding the puppet strings.
(And there is absolutely no excuse to be sharing a bank account.) Tony needs to see a lawyer who will establish visitation rights and make sure the wife sticks to the agreement. If he refuses, it is your choice whether your life is better with him or without him. Dear Annie: I am a high school junior and attend a competitive school. I make good grades, and my parents have always been supportive. I recently scored a 212 on the PSAT, which is terrific. But when I told my mom the results, she seemed disappointed. She said in order to be considered for a National Merit Scholarship, my score has to be over 215. She shows no pride in my accomplishment. I’ve expressed to her how disheartening this is, but she simply restates that I need a higher score for the scholarship. Annie, my family is not financial-
ly needy. I am more than capable of getting into a good school and finding other ways to get scholarships. Is she right to be so unenthusiastic? -Feeling Unappreciated Dear Feeling: We’re not sure why your mother is so convinced you didn’t qualify. The PSAT score required to be a National Merit Scholarship finalist varies from year to year, state to state. Last year’s winning score may not be this year’s, and the results won’t be out until September. We think she may be afraid of jinxing you, and that’s why she has put a damper on her excitement. So from us: Way to go! Dear Annie: We love your column. But why would you tell “Hurt and Confused in Wisconsin” to make nice with her malicious, cruel stepmother-inlaw? It’s OK to try to mend family rifts if the offenders will meet
you halfway. But if the abuse is going to continue, the only good route is to turn both cheeks and walk away. Life can be sweeter without rotten in-laws, parents, children and stepparents. Keep the good ones, and toss the
toxic trash. I tell ‘em: “Have a nice life,” and I truly wish them well. But we owe it to ourselves to have mostly positive people in our lives. -- The Villages, Fla. Dear Fla.: A good point, but we didn’t tell
her to “make nice.” We said her husband can try a last-ditch effort to mend things by asking his father and stepmother to go with him for counseling. We’ll stand by that.

YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Wednesday, March 28, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Remember that the next month is your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year, because the Sun is in your sign. Do make the most of this! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Work alone or behind the scenes so you have time to strategize what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be all about. How do you want it to be different from last year? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The month ahead is a much more popular time for you! Accept all invitations. Enjoy schmoozing with others. Discuss your dreams for the future with others. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) People definitely will notice you more in the month ahead (especially bosses,
parents, teachers and VIPs). Furthermore, they think you look great! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Travel will please you in the next few weeks, because you’re interested in expanding your horizons. You want adventure and an opportunity to learn something new. Yes! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Focus on red-tape details about inheritances, wills, estates, banking, insurance matters, taxes and shared property. You have the energy and patience to tackle this now. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) In the month ahead, you will have to get more sleep than usual. The Sun (your source of energy) is now as far away from your sign as it gets all year. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You have high energy now to work hard to get better
organized. This same energy translates into a desire to improve your health as well. Go, go, go! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A playful month ahead is promising for your sign. Enjoy romance, love affairs, vacations, fun times with children and all sports events. Yeehaw! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) For the next six weeks or so,
your focus will be on home, family and domestic matters. Entertain at home. You also might want to redecorate or make repairs. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) The pace of your days definitely will accelerate during the next five to six weeks. Just accept this and go with the flow. Short trips, errands and increased reading and writing are likely.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) “Show me the money!” You’re definitely focused on working hard to boost your earnings now and in the next month. This is good, because you can be successful. YOU BORN TODAY You have two personas: One that is public and one that is private. (You fiercely protect your private life.) You are hardworking and independent, and you work well with
