Action, frustration brews on teachers’ union front

No word yet on when report cards will be issued

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

Action is forthcoming from the local teachers union on the province’s institution of Bill 22, said the Kootenay Columbia Teachers Union president.

Andy Davidoff said the BCTU’s executive is meeting this week to digest what the action plan formulated by the B.C. Teachers’ Union in response to Bill 22 last month in Vancouver.

He said the local union members are very frustrated with the government’s actions.

“It’s sinking in how odious and pernicious of a piece of legislation that it is,” he said.

“The issue is whether the legislation is legal and constitutional and that is for the courts to decide.”

Although the province will heavily fine teachers if they choose to oppose the backto-work legislation — $475 per day — the teachers are looking at the legal and polit-

ical options around the bill.

Bill 22, which bans further walkouts, forces teachers to resume their normal teaching duties — which resumed last week in School District 20 (Kootenay Columbia) — imposes a six-month “coolingoff” period, and then sends the contract dispute to mediation.

The teachers started a limited strike in September as part of a dispute that centres around the teachers’ demand for a 15 per cent wage hike, as well as other changes to classroom conditions.

Because teachers are considered an essential service, their job action has been limited to skipping administrative tasks such as filling out report cards.

But Bill 22 now requires teachers to issue report cards.

Although teachers may now comply, the BCTF has noted report cards will not be retroactive, including the months of school since last September when job action began.

“We are now discussing report cards with the board office.

We’re just working everything out,” said Davidoff on if the teachers would be issuing report cards.

SD20 superintendent of schools Greg Luterbach echoed Davidoff’s position, acknowledging they were still in conversa-

tion about the plan of action regarding teachers’ duties, and how far back the reporting would be.

“That is part of the conversation, what meaningful information do parents need, and going back how far,” he said. “We are having conversations with our teachers and we know relationships are very important, but we also know parents need to have a good picture of how their child is doing.”

In a non-job-action year, report cards should have come out before spring break for elementary school students, with two report cards per year for students at J.L. Crowe Secondary School and three per year at Rossland Secondary School.

Some teachers’ locals in other areas of the province have voted to withdraw from extra curricular activities, but the KCTU has not voted yet.

Participation in extracurricular activities such as school clubs is voluntary and would not contravene the new legislation.

Following a meeting with KCTU executive next week, the area’s teachers and the rest of the 41,000 teachers across the province will vote April 17-18 on the action plan.

Teachers have been without a contract since last June.

The Fruitvale Fire Fighters Society is hosting its third-annual Beaver Valley Easter Egg Hunt Friday at Haines Park at 11 a.m. Beyond planting 10,000 chocolate eggs (plus supplying peanut-free treats for children with allergies), the non-profit group of local fire fighters will be offering hot dogs and hot chocolate (supplied by Liberty Foods and Kootenay Savings Credit Union) by donation. Money raised goes right back into the community to support individuals and families in crisis. Since 2006, the society has donated almost $16,000 to assist families with expenses for hotels, food and transportation to the B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver or medical treatments in Kelowna and other facilities. A similar event is planned for Trail at Gyro Park Friday, starting at 11 a.m. Free hot chocolate and coffee will be available and the Kiwanis Club will be selling hot dogs and hamburgers with all proceeds going to Canadian Tire JumpStart.

Trail council gives failing grade to post-secondary cuts

BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

Pending cuts to Selkirk College programs has Trail concerned for future local post-secondary education.

The city has written to the school in hopes of having a discussion in the near future on what Trail councillor Robert Cacchioni calls

a “self-defeating prophecy.�

Recently the B.C. government announced it was cutting its funding to post-secondary education by $70 million over the next three years, including over $1 million from Selkirk College.

Although the province claimed the money could be made up

through administrative cuts, Selkirk administration announced March 5 that all of the second-year science courses, the entire engineering and philosophy programs, and the second years of the three two-year arts degrees offered at the Kootenay School of the Arts were being cut due to lack of funding.

“Here we’ve got an institution that has provided a great deal of service, especially its two-year programs has enabled a lot of parents to save as much as $30,000 by sending their kids here and it would seem that the ministry should be looking at some kind of geographical isolation concerns,� said Cacchioni. “When we start losing programs here, we’re in a situation where there’s no options, you have to move out.�

Cacchioni fears that the loss of second-year courses will encourage students to apply to a school in a larger centre immediately to avoid the hassle of transferring after only one year. “All that will do, in fact, will reduce the number of students in the programs and it will be very easy for administration and the board if they so choose to say, ‘Well we really don’t need any universitytransfer programs anymore.’�

Trail man gets 90 days for cocaine possession

Strike savings will boost bottom line

BY TIMES STAFF

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER

A 26-year-old Trail man was sentenced to 90 days in jail Monday in Nelson court, after pleading guilty to possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.

Trail Crime Reduction Unit members arrested Gabriel Qitsualik at about 11 p.m.

Saturday on Bay Avenue in Trail.

“Qitsualik was found to be under the influence of drugs, in breach of his probation order and was also issued a 24-hour driving prohibition for being under the influence of drugs while driving,” Cpl. Darryl Orr of the Kootenay Boundary Regional Detachment said in a news release.

“A search of Qitsualik located a quantity of cocaine, which was packaged for sale.”

Times Staff

Bust nets pound of pot

BY TIMES STAFF A charge of possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking is being recommended against a 22-year-old man who was arrested at a West Trail home Tuesday at about 9 p.m.

He has been released on conditions to appear in Rossland Provincial Court May 10.

Approximately one pound of marijuana was recovered after Trail Crime Reduction Unit investigators obtained grounds for a search warrant following a prior arrest of a 22-year-old man from the same home on an unrelated matter earlier that day.

There was a silver lining in the dark cloud of the teachers’ three-day strike.

Money will be coming back to school districts to help out their ailing budgets after the province clawed back $37 million in teachers salaries from their job action in mid March.

For School District 20 (Kootenay Columbia), this means an extra $400,000 next year to provide direct student support through the Learning Improvement Fund.

The money could be used to help defray the predicted $1.4 million budget shortfall for the next fiscal year, said SD20 board chair Darrell Ganzert, since it doesn’t come with many strings attached.

“Will the money go to each school equally? We’re not sure about that yet. We have to take a look at where the greatest needs are and try to satisfy those,” he said. “On the surface it looks like it will make a bit of a difference.”

VAL ROSSI PHOTO

Students get an early spring break when teachers walked out for three days in March.

The money is not required to be delivered on a per capita basis to each school, meaning the board of trustees will have some interesting decisions to make over its allotment.

It could be used for hiring additional teachers and special education assistants, said Ganzert, support professional

development and training to help teachers meet complex needs in their classrooms, or provide additional teaching time.

The increase in Learning Improvement Fund (LIF) funding is due to provincewide operational savings of $37 million resulting from

last month’s three-day teachers’ strike. Education Minister George Abbott said Tuesday the province was doubling the fund from $30 million to $60 million for the coming school year.

All of the strike savings will remain with school districts with $30 million being applied to LIF, and the remaining $7 million to be used by school boards for educational priorities in their respective districts.

The first $60 million in LIF funding will be allocated this fall to school districts to be used for classrooms with the highest need.

Another $60 million was allocated in 2013-14, and $75 million in 2014-15 and each year thereafter as part of Budget 2012. SD20 will receive $400,000 for the next two years, and $600,000 in 2014-15.

Decisions on how to best use the additional resources will involve consultations with the union, classroom teachers, and district and school staff.

PROVINCIAL Notary accused in ponzi scheme THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A Vancouver notary public is being accused of running a ponzi scheme that bilked more than 200 investors of $83 million.

The B.C. Securities Commission says Rashida Samji promised returns of 12 to 30 per cent a year if investors placed their money in her notary trust account, with the money being used as collateral for

investments by Mission Hill Winery in Kelowna. But the commission says Samji put the money into her own bank accounts, paid existing investors with money from new investors, and the winery was not aware of the scheme.

The allegations have not been proven and the commission says it will appoint a panel to hear the charges against Samji, who has since resigned as a notary.

Taxpayers revolt against city council

BY KRISTEN DOUGLAS Campbell River Mirror

Campbell River taxpayers marched on city hall to a council meeting that quickly became standing room only.

More than 60 people engaged in a silent protest, starting at Robert Ostler Park and winding up at city hall in time for Tuesday’s council meeting.

Demonstrators carried signs condemning council for voting in favour of a 13. 6 per cent tax increase (7.10 per cent with decreased user fees), with some calling for council’s resignation.

One protester proudly carried a bright red sign that read ‘Revote or Resign’.

Inside the meeting, roughly 100 people filled the gallery and the foyer, forcing some to stand outside. Mayor Walter Jakeway, who last week encouraged Campbell Riverites to stage a tax revolt, entered the council chambers to a standing ovation from the gallery. Coun. Ron

Doug Robson, who last year spoke to council at the beginning of the budget process, returned Tuesday night and gave an impassioned speech.

“I’m still a senior that cannot afford a tax increase – no change from last year,” Robson said.

“Last Thursday the federal budget was brought in that did not increase my taxes and

eliminated the penny.

“I’m here today to demand, not ask, for the resignation of four bad pennies we have here on council,” Robson shouted.

“Taxpayers, do not accept this increase.

Revolt! Do not accept this increase.”

Robson rose from the delegation table to a rousing round of applause from the gallery, and as he went to his seat, commented “in the old days we used to be allowed to throw fruit.”

Civil service cuts begin THE CANADIAN PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - A new poll suggests the federal NDP is enjoying a big bounce in popularity since choosing Thomas Mulcair as leader.

The Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey indicates the New Democrats have surged into a statistical tie with the Conservatives, with the parties at 32 and 34 per cent support respectively.

The NDP boost comes almost entirely at the expense of the Liberals, who have slipped back to 19 per cent - the same all-time low they received in last May’s election when the selfstyled natural governing party was reduced to a third-party rump.

The orange surge was particularly strong in Quebec, Mulcair’s home base, where the NDP has vaulted back in front with 39 per cent to the Bloc Quebecois’ 24; Liberals and Conservatives were tied at 14 per cent.

The NDP was also leading in British Columbia, with 44 per cent to 30 for the Tories, 13 for the Liberals and 11 for the Greens.

THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - The City of Edmonton has banned smoking near any outdoor venue where children are present.

OTTAWA - It was a tense day for the civil service on Wednesday as the axe began to fall on jobs following last week’s federal budget.

Everything from commerce to culture was affected as departments began to roll-out cost-cutting plans mandated by the Conservative government’s first real majority budget.

The Defence Department was among the first to report losses, with the Union of National Defence Employees saying around 1,100 civilian positions are being eliminated.

Cuts were also announced at regional economic development agencies, the National Film Board and the CBC. The cuts follow the decision by the Conservatives to cut spending by $5.2 billion over the next three years, in part by eliminating 19,200 positions.

At Defence, jobs are being slashed everywhere from research

and development to food services, though the government is committed to keeping the regular and reserve fighting force intact. “If the government is not going to cut the size of the military or close any bases, who is going to do all the work?� asked Union of National Defence Employees President John MacLennan.

He said the answer is soldiers.

The union representing professional employees said 400 of its members were notified their positions are being targeted, which includes some positions at Defence. A further 1,200 notices will be sent in the coming days.

Jobs are also being

taken away from the federal regional economic agencies, including commerce officer positions that were set up to help get startup companies off the ground.

It’s small communities that will hurt the most, said Gary Corbett, president of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada. “A loss of five jobs in Charlottetown can be much bigger than 15 in a big centre,� he said.

At the CBC, President Hubert Lacroix announced a swath of changes, including 650 layoffs and an abrupt halt to several of the broadcaster’s plans for expansion in order to slice 10 per cent of its budget.

E

ver since the last recession, Canadians have been informed by pundits and the political class that stimulus spending – perhaps better labelled as “binge” spending – was critical to Canada’s economic recovery.

But extra government spending had little to do with Canada’s exit out of the recession. The recession ended in mid-2009; it was only about then that federal and provincial governments started spending extra (borrowed) stimulus cash.

To credit stimulus spending for the end to Canada’s recession, one must argue that extra dollars mostly spent after June 2009 somehow magically rescued the Canadian economy before June 2009. Right. Only if one believes in budgetary time travel.

All the borrowed money did have this effect: it added to the large federal debt mountain already in place.

The federal debt will hit $614 billion in 2015, up from $457 billion in 2008.

Such debt resulted from the decades-long practice by governments to transfer wealth from future generations – by chronic bor-

rowing – to pay for current needs and wants. To wit, it is in that context that the 2012 federal budget should be placed and graded.

The federal Conservatives now forecast balanced federal books by 2015. That is six years after the 2009 recession ended. In contrast, in the 1990s, Prime Minister Jean Chretien’s government reformed spending rapidly; it is why Liberal budgets went from red to black ink in just three years.

Regrettably, with that Liberal-era exception noted, federal and provincial governments have long preferred to run deficits.

Since 1947 (as far back Finance statistics go on such matters) and to 2012, the federal government has recorded deficits in 45 of 65 years – two out of every three postwar years on average. In the provinces, a comparison is unavailable before the mid-1980s, but the pattern is clear: Over the last 26 years, the provinces have collectively run up deficits in 19 years, or about four out of every five years.

Problematically, among several negative effects, such borrowing creates interest payment obliga-

tions that take tax dollars away from other private and public possibilities for such money.

The chronic red ink cannot all be blamed on economic downturns. Since the Second World War, Canada has experienced eight recessions, most lasting less than a year.

Also, in case anyone thinks higher taxes would have solved Canada’s deficits over the decades, consider this fact: federally, red ink budgets were the norm even when taxes were historically high as a percentage of the economy (the 1970s and 1980s). Conversely, surpluses coexisted with tax levels that took up less of the economy (in the later 1990s, and in the first part of this decade).

Sure, extraordinary

events such as recessions, depressions and wars severely restrict fiscal choices. But those factors are not in play most years. So when balanced budgets show up, they result from politicians – and as the 1990s demonstrated, with significant public, media and bureaucratic support – who commit to make government affordable.

After 1994, the Chretien Liberals – with much pushing from Preston Manning and the Reform party – purposely decided not to hand invoices for even more debt to the next generation.

The federal Tories are only the latest example of a government unwilling to make political choices in favour of future generations, though I grant that on old age security and perhaps on parliamentary and public sector pensions, they hint at baby steps in the right direction.

Still, to give a concrete example of how chronic deficits and the accumulated debt has already foreclosed many options, consider current interest on the federal debt – $31 billion this year alone.

Contrast that figure with the $40-billion Ottawa

spends annually on the elderly (including old age security payments and other expenses). On the revenue side, the federal government forecasts it will collect $125 billion in personal income tax and $32-billion in corporate income tax.

So ponder this: If Ottawa hadn’t run deficits so often, payments to the elderly could be 78 per cent higher. Alternatively, every Canadian who paid personal income tax could pay 25 per cent less in federal income tax; or federal taxes on business could have been eliminated (ask yourself what that might have done for job creation).

Not all budget choices are created equal and I use these examples merely as illustrations.

Here’s the point: Future historians will wonder how Canadians in the last half of the 20th century and first decades of the 21st justified racking up so much debt for upcoming generations.

They will wonder why current citizens and their politicians knowingly restricted so many options for those younger families.

LETTERS & OPINION

Will democracy survive and thrive in Burma?

“

It is never easy to persuade those who have acquired power forcibly of the wisdom of peaceful change,�

Aung San Suu Kyi once remarked. But the leader of Burma’s main pro-democracy party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), never wavered in her belief that it was possible. Now it may actually be happening.

In last Sunday’s byelections in Burma, the NLD won at least 40 of the 45 seats at stake.

Burma is still far from being a genuine democracy, but the outcome was so encouraging that NLD official Myo Win said: “The army has changed and is now more lenient. So there is more of a possibility that Aung San Suu Kyi can become president in 2015.� “The Lady�, as most people call her, is finally free after 22 years of political repression, most of them spent under house arrest.

It’s hard to believe that she may be peacefully elected president of Burma in three years’ time – but it was also hard to believe that Nelson Mandela would be elected president of South Africa only four years after he was freed from 27 years in prison

in 1990.

Not only is Aung San Suu Kyi free, but she is now a member of parliament. She boycotted last year’s general election, the first since 1990, because she distrusted the regime’s intentions, but she has now joined the politi-

GWYNNE

DYER World Affairs cal game. She had to, because otherwise the game would probably have ended quite soon.

The army has monopolised power in Burma for the past fifty years, ruthlessly suppressing all dissent and leaving the country the poorest in South-East Asia. Now a former general, Thein Sein, has persuaded his colleagues that it is time for the army to let go, but many of them are just waiting for him to fail. He has been president for a year now, and he badly needed a success.

From the army’s point of view the recent

by-elections, held to replace 45 regime supporters who gave up their seats upon being appointed to posts in the new government, seemed an ideal way to start the openingup process. Even if the NLD did well in them, it would not shake the regime’s overwhelming majority in parliament, and the next national elections are not due until 2015. But the NLD may have done too well.

The pro-democracy party’s nearly clean sweep in these by-elections will remind many generals of the 1990 elections, and that is not a happy thought for them.

Having drowned a non-violent protest movement in blood in 1988, the army held a general election in 1990 to legitimize its rule, confident that it could guarantee the right outcome.

It was wrong: the NLD won 80 percent of the seats. It was a political disaster for the military, who only preserved their rule by ignoring the election results and jailing the opposition leaders. That gave them another two decades in power, but their rule was clearly illegitimate and the regime became

an international pariah.

Now we have another election outcome in which the NLD wins over 80 percent of the seats. It will already have occurred both to the soldiers and to Aung San Suu Kyi that if the NLD had not boycotted the national elections in November, 2010, it would have won them despite all the regime’s attempts to manipulate the results. And it virtually guarantees that the NLD will become the government in 2015, if those elections are ever held.

The Burmese army’s choice is now stark: it must either accept that outcome or halt the whole democratization process. President Thein Sein seems committed to the process come what may, but some senior generals will certainly prefer the latter option, particularly because an NLD government might investigate how they got so rich. So it would be a good idea for the NLD to promise an amnesty for all crimes committed by the military regime.

The coming year will be a tricky one, and it could end in disaster if Aung San Suu Kyi overplays her hand.

However, the past 22

Senate report should be considered An editorial from the Halifax Chronicle Herald When the federal government handed the job of reviewing the Canada Health Accord to the Senate a year ago, critics accused Prime Minister Stephen Harper of trying to head off criticism over lack of progress in reforming the health-care system.

If that was the plan - of which, it should be noted, there is no evidence - apparently no one told the Senate.

The Senate’s standing committee on social affairs, science and technology delivered a damning report last week on Canada’s stalled progress in reforming the health care system.

With two years left on the 10-year funding deal with the provinces that expires in 2014, the Senate report said, Canada’s health-care system has gone

from being internationally admired to falling behind how health care is delivered, both efficiently and effectively, in many other developed nations.

And while the federal government has vowed to give provinces a set amount of funding for health care in the next accord, but stay out of setting goals for spending those resources, the Senate correctly points out that all governments must work together to tackle problems in a sector that Canadians care deeply about.

In particular, the Senate’s recommendation that federal funding be tied to incentives for change in the system makes eminent sense.

Measurable goals and timetables would allow the public to see whether rhetoric is being replaced with results.

Another recommendation, that governments forge ahead

with a national pharmacare plan - which was part of the current accord but stalled in 2006 - is well worth repeating.

Potential savings from pooled purchasing of drugs by provinces, one study estimated, could be as much as $10 billion annually.

Talks on a national pharmacare program ground to a halt over attempts to merge the lists of drugs paid for by different provinces.

But there’s no need to insist all such differences be eliminated. If provinces could agree to pool purchasing of the many drugs that are common to all their pharmacare programs, immense savings could be realized.

Ottawa should heed the Senate’s advice, drop its handsoff approach and work together with the provinces to make reforms happen.

years have taught her patience, and she clearly understands that Thein Sein needs her help in staving off the pressure from the more hawkish generals.

The rest of the world can also help him, by ending sanctions and allowing investment to flow into the crippled economy. And with luck, Burma will be a

PEOPLE OBITUARIES TUA HANSON, ALISON (CONSTANCE) — It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Alison Hanson at her loving home at Rosewood Village on Sunday, April 1, 2012. Alison was just two months shy of her 90th birthday.

Alison was born in Haney, BC (Maple Ridge) on May 30, 1922, a third daughter to Barbara and Walter Best. She completed her schooling in Haney and then travelled to Normal School in Victoria, receiving her teaching certificate. After qualifying, she came east to the Kootenays with her first post being the one room schoolhouse in Casino, BC. She enjoyed the area, the people and most of all the children. She then taught in Trail, Slocan, Nelson and Rossland. While in Nelson she met and married her gentleman, Harry Hanson on September 23, 1946.

After marriage they moved to Trail with dad working at Cominco and mom teaching. Mom took a break while raising their two daughters in Trail, with mom returning to teaching at the L. J. Morrish School in 1964. Summers with the kids were spent at the cottage on Kootenay Lake and travelling to the coast to visit mom’s family.

After retirement in 1982 Alison and Harry enjoyed travelling with trips to Russia, England, Hawaii, Sweden, China, Italy, Norway, Mexico, Japan, Greece, the Caribbean, across Canada and their last trip was to Spain and Portugal. They also enjoyed many cruises to exotic locations.

They enjoyed winters in the Palm Springs, Indio, and Desert Hot Springs area with family and friends they moved to Nelson in 1993, enjoying the “easy life” at their High Street Place condo where they lived for 11 years.

Alison and Harry returned to Trail in 2004 to be close to family, due to Harry’s illness. When Harry passed in 2005, Alison moved to Chateau Manor in Trail, enjoying being back in her own town. She then “hit the jackpot”, moving to Rosewood Village Assisted Living in 2006, then on to Residential Care where she lived until her passing. She spent six contented years at Rosewood, very much enjoying all the activities, especially the music/bands/ singing and arts and crafts. Bingo was a favourite pastime also.

Alison is survived by her daughters, Kris (Garland) Weishaupt of Fruitvale, Kathy Kardelis (John Haraldson) from Cochrane, Alberta.

Grandchildren Adrienne Weishaupt, Aaron (Rhonda) Weishaupt, Jonathan Kardelis, Ryan Kardelis, and her great-grandchildren Hunter and Parker Weishaupt. The family wish to express their gratitude and thanks to all of the Rosewood staff for their professional and compassionate care of mom during her final years. Trail is fortunate to have such a caring facility as Rosewood, never feeling like a facility, just feeling like family.

Cheers and keep the shiny side up!

You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family on-line register at www.myalternatives.ca. *** VELLUTINI, ALFREDO (FREDDIE) — It is with sadness that we announce the death of Alfredo (Freddie) Vellutini at Columbia View Lodge on March 30, 2012 at the age of 74.

Alfredo was born in Lucca, Italy on March 7, 1938 as the youngest of five children.

As a young man, Alfredo immigrated to Canada in 1960 following his older brother Mario and his uncles Guido, Frolindo and Armando. Early on, Alfredo worked as a concrete finisher on large projects such as the Kootenay Canal and Columbia View Lodge. In later years, he worked as a caretaker at the Rossland Hospital until his retirement.

We remember Alfredo as a kind man with a big heart. He was a hard worker always willing to help neighbours and friends. He loved to tell stories and make people laugh.

Alfredo was predeceased by his parents, Velia Petrini and Pompilio Vellutini, and by his brothers Giuseppe and Carlo.

He is survived by his brother Mario (Alba) of Trail, his sister Anna- Maria in Italy, his sisters-in-law Tina and Anna and numerous nieces and nephews.

We wish to thank Dr. S. Benzer, the staff of Columbia View Lodge and especially Cindy and Nora for their compassionate care of Freddie. A special thanks to Ray Tenisci for his loyal friendship throughout the years.

At Alfredo’s request, there will be no funeral. Cremation has taken place and a private interment will be held at a later date.

As an expression of sympathy, donations in Alfredo’s name can be made to Columbia View Lodge at 2920 Laburnum Drive, Trail, B.C V1R 4N2.

Life can change in an instant The CBC ran a program about last year’s Tsunami in Japan. I was transďŹ xed. The cell-phone video was incredible, terrifying. A quiet rainy afternoon was transformed as the water owed and kept owing.

Everything that was familiar about people’s lives was taken away in 30 mins. So many people didn’t see the danger and died. What happens in an average 30 mins in my life?

betray and assault their friends and neighbours.

In 12 hours from Thursday night to Friday midday, Jesus’ followers found their lives changed; from following someone they thought would lead them to victory; to running for their lives from the authorities, watching their leader die in agony, then loosing all sense of hope and future.

Life can change in an instant. For someone it’s a winning lottery ticket and millions of dollars. For someone else it is a sudden stroke and permanent paralysis. Let us hope we never have to face the kind of natural disaster the Japanese had last year or the war crimes which are so common around the world.

Again on CBC we revisited the horrors of the siege of Sarayevo, of ethnic cleansing, and rape as a weapon of terror. What struck me afresh was that I was quietly going about my life on the other side of Europe - not very far away. Man’s inhumanity to man seems to know no boundaries.

In this changing world, we need something to hang on to. Something reliable, something more solid than the homes we live in, or the relationships we nurture.

Something beyond the material. Something eternal.

Easter takes us there.

That is what Good Friday is about. Humanity’s distressing ability to abuse its power; our power.

Humanity as a force for wickedness. Good Friday is a wake up call to remind us we are not all good - not by a long way. The most religious of us are capable of the worst acts. Ordinary people can turn and in an instant

Easter is about another change. The kind of change that happens when the person you love agrees to marry you, or when a pregnancy ďŹ nally turns into a living baby. The poor disciples, clueless and confused; on a roller-coaster of experiences and emotions. The new life of Jesus’s resurrection was more than they could cope with.

OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP

Feast of Our Lady of Good Counsel set for April 26 Due to Holy Week, members of Our Lady of Perpetual Help council of the Catholic Women’s League of Canada held their April meeting on March 27. The rosary was recited focusing on the Sorrowful Mysteries.

Catholics have a strong devotion to Mary and pray through her intercession of under numerous titles.

One of her names, Our Lady of Good Counsel, became a symbol of lay involvement and responsibility and a model to be imitated. At the annual national convention in 1923 in Halifax, a resolution was passed to adopt Our Lady of Good Counsel as the League’s patroness. The original picture was brilliant and brightly coloured, the faces simple, pure, compassionate and devotional.

The infant Jesus is so close to his mother that his simple and loving gesture draws us all to Mary. The Feast of Our Lady of Good Counsel is celebrated on April 26 and all councils and members are encouraged to celebrate this day on or around April 26th every year.

This year to celebrate her feast day members of all the local CWL councils will have a luncheon at a local restaurant.

Members were reminded of the sacrament of Confirmation on April 15 at OLPH and First Communion on May 6.

The Diocesan Convention will be held this year in Kelowna on May 3-6 and the Provincial Convention will be in Whitehorse June 14-16.

Registration forms are available from Teresa Mandoli.

To conclude the evening members sang a hymn and then gathered socially for coffee.

The next meeting of OLPH CWL will be on Tuesday, May 1 and new members are welcome.

For more information contact Teresa at 250-3681831.

Palm Sunday celebrations begin Holy Week THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM - Hundreds of Christian pilgrims marked Palm Sunday in the Holy Land last Sunday, holding masses and processions retracing Jesus’ triumphant return to Jerusalem.

Palm Sunday marks the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem, where he was greeted by cheering crowds bearing palm fronds, according to the Bible.

The day’s events began with a mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher - revered as the site where Jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected. Several hundred worshippers and clergy lit candles and waved palm fronds in the dark, cavernous church. “It’s the holiest place in the world for Christians and it’s important for me to come here at least once in my lifetime,� said Etienne Chevremont, 49, a visitor from Paris who attended the Jerusalem Mass.

Visitors walked down the cobblestone alleyways of the walled Old City carrying olive branches, palm fronds and crosses.

A service was also held in Bethlehem’s Nativity Church, built atop Jesus’ traditional birthplace. “For us, it is important to make this experience here, to see where Jesus has lived and to see the situation in the Holy Land,� said Hans Hekrig, another pilgrim.

The day marks the start of Holy Week, which ends Sunday with Easter. Orthodox Christians mark Palm Sunday next week.

Israel’s Tourism Ministry said it expects 125,000 visitors during Holy Week and 300,000 throughout April.

Big plans for Andy Bilesky Park

Post season for Providence unlikely

BY TIMES STAFF

BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor

All hands are on deck, as Trail Minor Baseball gets set to step up to the plate and host the B.C. Provincial Little League Championships from July 20-28.

Host committee co-chairs, Shannon Morris-Ballarin and Russ Green, have teamed up with local business and the City of Trail, in a cooperative effort to make the event an unqualified success.

But before the first pitch is thrown, there is a tonne of work to be done at Andy Bilesky Park.

“It’s a park that needs some attention and, you know, we’re on board,” said Eleanor Gattafoni Robinson, Trail city councillor and Parks chair.

“The tournament is going to be a success like everything else we do.

There’s been some volunteer work there and we’re working together to make it happen.”

Andy Bilesky Park will receive over $100,000 in much-needed renovations including a leveled playing field, a new fence, score clock, and dugouts to bring it up to Little League B.C. standards.

“We sat down with Trisha (Davison, director of Trail Parks and Rec) and basically gave her the Cadillac version, the Chevy version and the Lada version of what our vision was of the park,” said Green.

LLBC president Corinne Chow visited Trail in September to inspect the facility and offer recommendations to the Trail host committee on what needed to be improved and replaced to meet LLBC code and regulation.

As a result, volunteers and local businesses have already jumped on board, with Teck donating $20,000 for new dugouts and another $5,000 for the provincial tournament; in addition, Kootenay Savings, Columbia Basin Trust and others have generously pitched in for the cause.

Two weeks ago, over 20 volunteers descended on the park and removed all the fencing.

“It’s a good time to do it, because we had a lot of support and lots of help, and it needed to be done,” said Morris-Ballarin.

The aging fence has kept ball in the

Trail Minor Baseball now awaits the city to get the excavators going, but the wet weather has hindered progress.

“Right now we’re kind of in hiatus,” added Green. “We’re waiting for it to dry out and then we’ll start ripping out the poles. We have a meeting later on this week with the city to get a time-line going on what’s going to happen.”

The main park will be out of commission, so the league will schedule baseball games on the auxiliary field and teams will play more away games.

The committee hopes to have the field ready by the end of June.

Once the tournament starts, organizers will face further logistical challenges that require even more volunteers, such as shuttling teams from a lower parking lot and from Haley Park practice fields to Bilesky Park.

“We have to keep track of everything for the actual tournament, we need about four scorekeepers for

every game, and volunteers to do the fields all weekend and the concessions,” said Morris-Ballarin.

Still, local organizers are confident that they will overcome all obstacles, even Mother Nature - an attitude that is part and parcel of what makes Trail the City of Champions.

“We know what the concerns are and we are diligently working through them and, as normal, we’ll put on the best tournament they can have,” said Gattafoni Robinson.

The winner of the six-team tournament will advance to the Canadian Little League championship in Edmonton in August, with the winner going to the Worlds in Williamsport, Pa. Trail Little League teams have won 12 provincial titles and are fivetime Canadian champions.

The committee welcomes all volunteers and donations from the community to make the event another success.

Trail Little League is also holding a free coaching clinic tonight at the J. L. Crowe Gym from 6-10 p.m.

Contact D. J. Ashman for more info, djashman@amford.com.

Craig Cunningham and the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League are not completely out of the playoff scene, at least not mathematically.

With only three games remaining in the regular season the Bruins sit in 13th place in the Eastern Conference, five points out of a playoff spot.

The top eight teams in each conference advance so Providence must win its final three games against Worcester, Bridgeport and Portland and hope everyone else loses to move on, not likely.

N e v e r t h e l e s s , Cunningham has put up impressive numbers in his rookie season, finishing third in team scoring with 19 goals and 16 assists for 35 points.

The Warfield native signed a two-way contract last July and was drafted in the fourth round by Boston in 2010. He joined the AHL affiliate Bruins after finishing his junior career with the Western Hockey League’s Portland Winterhawks.

Elsewhere in the AHL, four teams clinched playoff berths last week and three wrapped up division titles, but there are still 11 post-season invites still left to hand out as the 2011-12 regular season enters its final week.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton secured a playoff spot with a 3-0 win over Connecticut.

The Penguins will be in the Calder Cup Playoffs for the 10th consecutive spring, the longest active streak in the AHL. The Oklahoma City Barons wrapped up their second playoff berth in as many seasons with a 3-2 win in Milwaukee. The Barons, the first Edmonton Oilers affiliate ever to post back-to-back 40-win campaigns, added the West Division championship to their list of accomplishments when San Antonio lost on Sunday.

St. John’s pulled out a 3-2 win over Hershey Bears. The victory gave the IceCaps the Atlantic Division title, becoming the first AHL team to win a division crown in its inaugural season since the 200203 Binghamton Senators.

The Bears got help from Portland and Adirondack, whose losses on Saturday allowed Hershey to clinch its seventh straight trip to the postseason. And the Bears’ loss was also a boon for Norfolk, which wrapped up first place in the East Division as a result.

Five teams have clinched playoff berths and only two have been mathematically eliminated, leaving 23 clubs, including Providence, to fight it out for the final 11 tickets to the 2012 Calder Cup dance.

Evansville Icemen There is no joy in Evansville, as the Icemen were swept by the Missouri Mavericks in the first round of Central Hockey League action on Monday.

The team comprised of former Trail residents Todd Robinson, Steve Makway, and coach Rich Kromm were bounced early from the playoffs after a promising season saw Evansville finish second in the Turner Conference.

After winning the first three games, 3-2, 7-1 and 3-2, Missouri took the final game by a score of 3-1, with Robinson netting the only goal for the Icemen.

It was another great year for Robinson, who won the CHL scoring title with 23 goals and 69 assists for 92 points in 66 games. The former Portland Winterhawk also led Evansville in scoring in the playoffs, scoring three of the team’s five goals and adding an assist. The 34 year old is one of the most prolific scorers ever to play professional hockey.

Makway also impressed on the blue line, finishing second in scoring among defencemen with 42 points.

Mets make cuts everywhere

SCOREBOARD BCHL Playoffs

(AP PHOTO/PETER MORGAN)

The wall in center field is shown during a tour of Citi Field Tuesday, in New York. In addition to slicing payroll, the New York Mets cut dimensions at Citi Field and showed off their new blue-and-orange fences. The Mets erected a new fence in front of the old wall at the four-year-old ballpark, lowering the height needed for a home run to eight feet from as much as 16 and cutting the distance from home plate by up to 12 feet.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - In addition to slicing payroll this winter, the New York Mets cut dimensions at Citi Field.

They showed off their new blue-and-orange fences Tuesday.

The Mets erected a new fence in front of the old wall at the 4-year-old ballpark, lowering the height needed for a home run to 8 feet from as much as 16 and cutting the distance from home plate by up to 12 feet.

A new section of 102 seats called the Party City Deck has been installed behind the new left-field fence, selling for $100-$200 a ticket depending on the opponent, with food and beer included. They will sell individually during the first homestand for games after Thursday’s opener against Atlanta, then for groups.

“The intention coming in was to build a ballpark that was pitcher-friendly, and we accomplished that. But maybe it was too friendly,” Mets executive vice-president David Howard said.

“Scoring creates excitement.”

Citi Field was last in the major leagues in home runs during its first three seasons with an average of 1.43 per game, according to STATS LLC. New York’s left-handed batters still haven’t hit an opposite-field home run over the fence at Citi Field, which was dubbed the Great Wall of Flushing. Opponents have done it eight times.

Coming off three straight losing seasons, the Mets said a few thousand tickets remain available for opening day. Home attendance dropped 7 per cent last year to 2.35 million, their lowest since

2004, and the only sellouts were opening day and the three-game series against the Yankees in July.

And attendance could fall again in their 50th anniversary season.

“We’re not quite where we were at this point last year,” Howard said.

As part of the renovations, the fence colours were restored to the royal blue with an orange line, the style that was used during most of the team’s time at Shea Stadium. The new section in left was patterned after the Green Monster seats at Boston’s Fenway Park.

New York also added 45 seats to the Modell’s Clubhouse back of the right-field fence, raising capacity to 41,922.

After the team’s ownership settled a lawsuit by the trustee seeking money for the victims of the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme for up to $162 million, the Mets hope the uncertainty over the team’s future will start to lift. Payroll was cut by nearly $50 million.

Now the Mets are discussing a long-term contract with pitcher Jonathon Niese.

“The certainty of getting that resolved and the finality of it is a plus in every respect,” Howard said. “It allows all of us to focus all of our attention on the business and getting the team back to where we should be, and l’m confident we’re going to get there.”

NOTES: In the first season of dynamic pricing, Howard said cost for some opening-day tickets has been cut from $45 to $40. Ticket prices generally have fluctuated by up to 10 per cent. The Mets have cut prices in three straight seasons.

REGIONAL

No coops for Cranbrook

BY SALLY MACDONALD Cranbrook Townsman

A request to allow backyard chickens in Cranbrook has been turned down.

City council on Monday decided not to allow Cranbrook residents to keep backyard chickens and goats.

The vote came after a letter from Sven Heyde in February, asking council to consider a bylaw that would permit backyard chickens, goats and rabbits. The letter was referred to the Family and Community Services Committee, who came back to council with a

recommendation that they leave the issue alone for now.

“The committee was concerned about the potential for noise, odours and cleanliness if we allow people to keep chickens and other domestic animals,” said Mayor Wayne Stetski.

Councillor Sharon Cross pointed out that Cranbrook residents have access to farm land in the neighbouring regional district.

The Mayor said he would be prepared to reconsider backyard chickens in the future, but it can’t come back to council for six months.

LEISURE

Encourage husband to get checked for adult ADD Dear Annie: I’ve been with my husband for 15 years. He has many good qualities, but he has always struggled with shyness, low self-esteem and awkwardness. When we got together, he promised to be the financial provider. He started many careers, all of which fizzled. Twice he’s had yearlong gaps where he was unemployed.

Right now, he works a minimum-wage job.

We are both in our mid-30s and recently had our first baby. I am resentful and angry that I had to return to work and put the baby in day care. I missed my baby’s first steps and first word. I feel robbed of time with my child.

My husband says the difficulty of being the provider has been too hard to overcome.

He wants me to let it go and move on. But, Annie, he is perfectly capable of making it happen. I never wanted to be “Mrs. Career,” and

ANNIE’S

now I feel trapped. He always has excuses for not choosing a career.

He has abandoned me to carry this financial burden on my own.

I have seen a few counselors, who say to keep encouraging and believing in him, but my baby is nearly 2, and my husband is not making any effort.

My father worked two jobs, and he says there’s something wrong with a man who can’t provide for his family. I tend to believe him. Do I let the dream die and accept reality or keep encouraging him? -Sad Wife Dear Sad: There are worse things than being the main bread-

winner and putting your child in day care.

But the resentment and anger are problematic, and encouragement only goes so far.

Please insist that your husband be evaluated for adult ADD, and also that he get some career counseling as well as therapy to work on his negative, self-defeating attitude.

Dear Annie: My father is dying of cancer. According to the doctors, he doesn’t have much longer to live.

Dad and his second wife have been married for nearly 60 years.

She has some dementia. My two younger half-brothers have told me she will get very upset if my daughter and I go see Dad. My stepmother and I have never been close, but she was always very sweet to us in the past.

I don’t want to upset her, but at the same time, I want to see my dad, and my daughter wants to visit her

granddad before he passes. We were able to see him for a short visit in the hospital, and once we came over when his wife was out of the house.

I know this is a stressful time for the whole family. I don’t think Dad has much more time, and I will be upset if he dies and I haven’t had a chance to say goodbye. What should I do? -- First Born Dear First Born: Go anyway. If you fear it will derail your stepmother, ask one of her sons to please take her out for dinner or shopping so you can stop by with your daughter and say goodbye. Give them two or three possible time options, and insist that they select one within the week.

Our thoughts are with you.

Dear Annie: Here’s one more about naming a pet the same as a person. Years ago, I had a cat named Charlie. He was not allowed on our

sofa. One day, a business associate stopped by and was sitting on the sofa talking to my husband. I walked into the living room and saw our cat jumping onto the couch. I yelled, “Charlie, get off of that sofa,” and the visitor

suddenly jumped to his feet in confusion. I had forgotten that his name was also Charlie.

I quickly apologized.

LEISURE

YOUR HOROSCOPE

By Francis Drake For Friday, April 6, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The only Full Moon that is opposite your sign all year is taking place today. This is why you will feel some challenges when dealing with partners and close friends. Guard against knee-jerk reactions.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be extra patient with coworkers, customers and bosses today. People all around you are losing it because of today’s Full Moon (and this could include you).

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Everyone can feel the tension of today’s Full Moon, including children. Be patient with kids. Similarly, romantic partners will have to be patient with each other.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Avoid domestic squabbles today. It’s just Full Moon tension. This tension is gone in 48 hours. (No biggie.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day for you because the Full Moon tension could create distractions that, in turn, could cause an accident.

Forewarned is forearmed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Disputes about shared property, taxes, debt, insurance matters and inheritances might come to a head today, because of the Full Moon. Try to avoid these if possible. Wait 48 hours.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. Yikes! This can make you overly emotional. Guard against knee-jerk reactions.

Think before you speak, especially with partners and close friends.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Stress to your health as well as stress in your job are likely today, because of the energy

of the Full Moon. Don’t take this too seriously. (It passes very quickly.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is an extremely poor day to have an argument with any authority figure.

The Full Moon will blow everything out of proportion.

Remember this.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today you feel the classic dilemma of trying to do the

impossible: keeping everyone at home happy, as well as everyone in your job. You just can’t do it. (Don’t ignore family.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) The energy of today’s Full Moon could distract you enough to cause an accident.

Be aware of this. If you are mindful, this doesn’t need to happen.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Financial stress or argu-

ments about shared property could come to a head today because of the Full Moon.

Wait 48 hours before you decide on anything important.

YOU BORN TODAY Because you have a magnetic personality, people are drawn to you. You love to experiment and explore new ideas, and you always want to get to the bottom of something.

You’re speculative and will constantly test new ideas. In

Uncle Jim, Auntie Laurie, Danica & Eddie

I only have a picture now, A frozen piece of time, To remind me of how it was, When you were here, and mine.

I see your smiling eyes, Each morning when I wake, I talk to you, and place a kiss, Upon your lovely face.

How much I miss you being here, I really can not say, The ache is deep inside my heart, And never goes away.

I hear it mentioned often, That time will heal the pain, But if I’m being honest, I hope it will remain.

I need to feel you constantly, To get me through the day, I loved you so very much, Why did you go away?

The angels came and took you, That really wasn’t fair, They took my one and only Son, My future life. My heir.

If only they had asked me, If I would take your place, I would have done so willingly, Leaving you this world to grace.

You should have had so many years, To watch your life unfold, And in the midst of this, Watch me, your Mum grow old!

I hope you’re watching from above, At the daily tasks I do, And let there be no doubt at all, I really do love you.

Sadly missed by Mom, Dad, Lisa, Jordan and family

could take place today.

You’re playing your cards very close to your chest.

(It’s all very hush-hush.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Competition with a friend for the attention of someone else might arise today. Perhaps a platonic relationship is now looking romantic to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Someone might be jealous of the attention you

$189,000

Denise Marchi ext 21 Keith DeWitt ext 30 get from authority figures or bosses. Alternatively, a flirtation with a boss could blossom into something hot and heavy!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re determined to make travel plans or get further education. You feel you want more out of life, and you’re going to do something about it today.

‘Nuff said.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Physical relationships will be highly passionate today. Regarding financial matters, disputes about shared possessions could be heated. Tread carefully.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might be so eager to do something with a partner or close friend that you’re just a tad too pushy. It’s

Thea Stayanovich ext 28 Joy DeMelo ext 29 very easy to make a social gaffe today. Be aware.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You’re prepared to do something to make where you work feel or look more attractive. And if you can figure out a way to boost your income as well, you will!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a playful, flirtatious day. Enjoy schmoozing with others. Show business, the entertainment world and the arts will appeal. Sports will be lively!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You’re ready to do something to make your home look more attractive today.

This is also a great day to entertain and show off what you have. Enjoy your

$259,000

www.facebook.com /allprorealtyltd day!

YOU BORN TODAY Whatever you do, you do with enthusiasm and energy! This is why you have the ability to inspire others.

You are philosophical and spiritual, whether others know it or not; perhaps this is why you become much wiser as you mature. (You also learn how to deal with anger.) In the year ahead, you will begin a new cycle in your life. Open any door!

CLASSIFIEDS

SUNDAY/MONDAY HOROSCOPE

By Francis Drake For Sunday, April 8, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) If you are sharing something with others today, you might be inclined to go overboard.

Don’t give away the farm.

Respect your own needs and property as well.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a friendly day, especially with partners and close friends. Enjoy schmoozing with others, including members of the general public. Life feels good!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s easy to overestimate something at work today or, possibly, something that has to do with your health. Don’t take anything for granted.

(And don’t eat too many sweets.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a lovely, playful day.

You certainly want to have fun. Just be careful that you don’t overdo something and then later regret it. (It’s easy to be excessive today.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Family members feel generous toward each other today.

Tune ups well worth the time, effort and cost

T

wo weeks ago I insinuated vehicles still need tune ups. Even if there is no such thing anymore. Like I said, most ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manuals make no reference to a tune up.

So if you go in asking for a tune up what are you going to get, an Italian tune up? I must say an Italian tune up has its merits. After a long cold winter where your engine spent more time idling than singing at the higher end of your tachometer has probably left a little excess carbon in the engine. Some good full throttle runs to redline on the old tachometer would probably clean some of that up.

There are better more effective ways to remove carbon though.

Your manual says you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need new spark plugs until 160 000 km and you are only at

50 000 km now. A set a diagnostic few articles ago I code. suggested there are The scan tool no adjustments anywill query for more. You are startthese codes.

Many times these problems do not alert the driver to their existence. Knock sensor issues are particularly hard to notice but fixing them is worth some percentage points in increased mileage and horsepower.

Loss of boost pressure is usually more apparent to the driver but the mechanic will know right away when the scan tool produces a diagnostic code.

Codes are definite indicators of an existing problem but live data analysis also available from the scan tool can flush out some other issues.

A sharp technician can identify a dirty throttle body, a dirty mass air flow sensor, a restricted fuel filter, a failing fuel pump, a slow oxygen sensor, or failing air fuel ratio sensor.

Scan data analysis can provide this information that even

the most sensitive driver could not pick out.

Once the analysis is done the tune up can be accomplished. Throttle bodies can be cleaned, mass air flow sensors can be cleaned, fuel filters or fuel pumps replaced, oxygen sensors or air fuel ratio sensors replaced.

A tune up will thus as ever make your vehicle run better.

Admittedly it may be tougher to recognize the benefits but if you track your fuel mileage or measure the power your vehicle produces you will be suitably impressed. The tune up lives on!
