Theatre reviewing new liquor rules

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

People have been asking for it and now the Royal Theatre is looking to deliver.

In the wake of a provincial announcement last week allowing B.C. movie theatres to obtain licences to serve alcohol during screenings, the city’s premiere theatre is investigating the possibility.

Royal owner Lisa Milne said Friday she wanted to get a bet-

ter understanding of Housing Minister Rich Coleman’s announcement that booze will be allowed in adult-only auditoriums in both movie houses and live theatre events.

“It’s something our patrons have been asking for, right from that opera crowd, to hockey fans to even our everyday movie goers,” she said.

“Our patrons like to have a glass of wine, or have a beer, that sort of thing … but I want

to be sure we know a bit more about it before we pursue it.”

According to the province, theatres must be closed to minors during screenings because, in the dark, it would be difficult to enforce the rules against under-age drinking.

The rules strike the right balance between allowing liquor service, said Coleman, and making sure no minors are drinking.

Guide for claiming home office expenses

A

re you working out of your home to run your own business? Does your employer require you to have an office at home?

Having to use your home to aid in earning of income may qualify you for home office expenses that can be netted against your business income.

If you are selfemployed, your home has to be the principal place of carrying on your business, or your

home office must be used exclusively to earn income by meeting with clients or patients.

The space to assemble or store products for sale also contributes to the legitimacy of this deduction.

If you are an employee who is required to work out of home by your employer, it is necessary for your employer to supply you with form T2200, Conditions of Employment, indicating that you are required to have a home office

If you fit either of these two situations, then you can use your home’s heat, electric, supplies, repairs, and rent (if applicable) apportioned by the square footage of the space you use for your office versus the entire home’s square footage.

A rule of thumb to steer clear of a red flag is to keep that portion of your office space in your home under 15 per cent.

By the way, if your home office space is also used some of the time as the kids’ play room or study hall, than you are suppose to reduce your office apportion-

ment by the percentage of time it is used by the kids. Yes, I’m serious.

For those selfemployed, you can also deduct proportionally the cost of your house insurance, property taxes, municipal services and mortgage interest. If you are an employee you cannot use these unless you are a fully commissioned sales person, then you too can use these deductions, except mortgage interest.

You may have noticed no mention of home phone, cell phone, cable and internet expenses. In the past these have not been allowed by CRA but times are a changing and CRA is more accepting of cell and internet costs as legit business expenses, and often cell at 100%.

Land lines and cable if blended with cell and internet expenses tend to get included as legit expenses too.

asked if depreciation on the home can be included in the home office expense calculation. I typically advise against claiming any capital cost allowance since this may adversely affect the principal residence capital gains exemption when the home is sold in the future.

Regardless of what and how much is available for your claim, CRA will not allow your home office expense deduction to exceed your business income earned for the year. In other words, your home expenses cannot create a business loss.

However CRA is kind enough to allow any unused balance to be carried forward and used against future business income.

REGIONAL SPRING SPLASH

Licence could impact clientele FROM PAGE 1 Milne did not want to exclude children from theatre screenings in their single-screen site, and felt there might be sticky stipulations that could prevent the theatre from deciding to obtain a licence.

“Will the Royal Theatre be pursuing it? If it is in our best interests, yes,” she said.

“If it works that it would be fair to all of our patrons, absolutely. But if it works out that it might eliminate some of our patrons, it might be something we save for very special events.”

In bigger theatre complexes with multiple screens, under the new rules they could designate a drinking zone.

The Royal does not have that option with only one single screen.

The change comes after the old rules that banned liquor in movie houses forced the Rio Theatre in Vancouver to lay off staff and give up $40,000 worth of business when it had to back out of a local film festival in January.

Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario allow alcohol in movie theatres, with age restrictions.

Activities planned for convention goers FROM PAGE 1 programs and policies, he’s saying, ‘Give rural communities the opportunity to decide what they need and then support them.’”

In the meantime, partners also have a number of fun activities to enjoy from building their own hanging baskets, creating an Italian dinner and delving into collage work at Trail’s VISAC Gallery.

Together convention participants will unwind at an opening ceremony Thursday at the Best Western Columbia River Hotel, where “Hockey Night In Canada” will encourage people to pull out their fan gear and learn about Trail’s hockey history through historical footage from the Trail Historical Society and test their knowledge with hockey trivia.

The tone will switch gears at the Riverbelle Friday night during the “Silver City Saloon,” where the night will be a gamble for participants whose winning chips could earn them prizes in a silent auction. The games will follow with a four-course traditional Italian meal.

CITY OF TRAIL COUNCIL

Concerns raised over federal budget

BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

Trail is taking its first kick at the federal budget that was unveiled last month.

City council is adding political pressure by writing to Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko in hopes he’ll crack the whip.

“I’m totally perturbed with what’s

Burton school slated for closure

BY CLAIRE PARADIS Arrow Lakes News

New Superintendent/ Secretary-Treasurer Denise Perry takes up the reins in June, but until then Walter Posnikoff continues in the position for School District 10.

Unfortunately, Posnikoff’s time is ending on a low note, with the news that the Burton Elementary School is heading toward closure this year.

“This is really hard,” said School Board chair Pattie Adams, during the discussion about the dwindling numbers in the Burton school.

Posnikoff’s report to the Board indicated that three families with six children will be moving away. For a school with around ten kids in it, the loss of six is dire.

Enrolment at the school has between 75 and 80 students in decades past, but the

last few years have seen a steady and dramatic decline in the numbers.

“It’s due to a lack of work in the area,” said Posnikoff.

Two other families are also considering moving, leaving one parent who is committed to having their child remain at Burton Elementary.

“The community is completely aware of what’s going on,” said Posnikoff, “It’s sad, but it’s a reality.”

going on in regards to how they’re enticing individuals to go shop in the United States,” said councillor Eleanor Gattafoni Robinson at Tuesday’s council meeting. “I think it’s personally going to affect our local community – we are a border town – and I think that we’re struggling as it is to make people shop local.”

She is referring to the new rules that kick in June 1, which will allow cross-border shoppers to bring back $200 worth of goods free of duty or taxes, an increase from just $50, and $800 for those who’ve been gone for more than 48 hours.

Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs didn’t have much positive to say, either, besides noting the feds commitment to community infrastructure.

He found it disturbing that “nothing” was set aside for affordable housing, which he found ironic after last week’s presentation from Surrey MLA Jagrup Brar, NDP small business critic, who said affordable housing was the No. 1 issue he faced when he accepted a challenge in January

to live on welfare for a month in Surrey and Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

“The problem is that the federal government hasn’t even recognized and completely dropped all aspects of affordable housing from their budget and the province isn’t doing much better,” he said.

“It’s a major expensive program and it’s really not in our mandate but in many ways we are forced to do what we can.”

Bogs was also disappointed to see the loss of the Katimavik program, which cost $15 million annually.

The program provided opportunity for young Canadians to participate in an intensive six-month volunteer experience.

Upon their visit to Trail in years’ past, Katimavik volunteers got behind a number of local programs and nonprofits including Trail Community in Bloom, Kate’s Kitchen, United Way, Rossland Radio Co-op, Trail SPCA, Rossland Chamber of Commerce, People Loving People, Salvation Army and the Sanctuary.

PROVINCIAL

Once-safe Liberal seats up for grabs in byelections THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - Two traditionally safe Liberal seats are about to provide barometer readings of British Columbia’s stormy political atmosphere with less than 13 months to go before the May 2013 election, say pundits and party officials.

This week’s byelection results for suburban Vancouver’s Port Moody-Coquitlam riding and the Fraser Valley’s Chilliwack-Hope riding are being viewed as measures of the intense political fronts buffeting the province.

are: where the two Liberal candidates finish, the strength of the upstart B.C. Conservatives and the performance of the New Democrats, which are expected to win the Port Moody-Coquitlam riding and seriously challenge in the traditionally antiNDP Fraser Valley.

In Port Moody-Coquitlam, former Liberal cabinet minister Iain Black’s seat is being contested by B.C. Conservative Christine Clarke, B.C. Liberal Dennis Marsden and New Democrat Joe Trasolini.

In Chilliwack-Hope, former four-term Liberal Barry Penner’s seat, the candidates include B.C. Conservative John Martin, New Democrat Gwen O’Mahony, Liberal Laurie Throness and a Libertarian, Lewis Clarke Dahlby But with the governing Liberals in freefall in the polls, the winning candidates are of less interest than what the election results say about the fortunes of Liberal Premier Christy Clark’s government.

Retired University of Victoria political scientist Norman Ruff said the Liberals and the provincial Conservatives, led by former Reform MP John Cummins, have the most to gain or lose from the two byelections.

If the Liberals win at least one - likely ChilliwackHope - the victory can be viewed as a sign the government still has strength, despite plummeting showings in recent public opinion polls, he said. “By any ordinary definition of a safe Liberal seat, they fit safe Liberal seats, but we know from the context from the polls that nothing is safe for the Liberals these days,� said Ruff.

The Conservatives are looking for a win or at least strong second-place finishes to point to what they will call their growing momentum as the province’s free-enterprise choice, he said.

Ruff said Clark’s recent attempts to court the right wing vote by getting cozy with the federal Conservatives won’t give her traction in the byelections because voters are currently more concerned with her leadership abilities and not the political leanings of her allies. “If the Liberals were to trail badly, theoretically, there would be pressure on her to step aside,� he said.

KELOWNA COMMUNITY CELEBRATES VAISAKHI

Thousands were on hand to celebrate Vaisakhi at the Okanagan Sikh Temple on Saturday.

Anesthesiologists rescind service withdrawal threat THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - The B.C. government says anesthesiologists have backed off from their threat to withdraw services in a contract dispute with the province.

The move comes after the government won a temporary injunction against the B.C. Anesthesiologists Society to block any job action.

A judge was to hear arguments later this month on whether the injunction should be made permanent, but Interior Health Authority President Robert Halpenny says the promise by the Society not to withdraw services has led to the cancellation of the injunction

hearing.

The promise came after the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons sent a letter to the Society and the B.C. Medical Association telling them the issues in dispute must be addressed through the existing negotiations with the province on physician services.

Halpenny says the decision to back off on job action will lift the threat of surgery cancellations and provides a chance for the society, health authorities and the BCMA to try to work out their differences.

Last month, Halpenny warned that a service withdrawal could result in the postponement of 3,200 surgeries.

Man dies after Taser incident THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - An Edmonton man who police zapped with a Taser electronic stun gun has died.

Police said Jeff Oatway, 34, started to act out while in custody at police headquarters, and had to be subdued with the stun gun.

He died in hospital Friday after two days in a coma.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team, which reports to the province’s Solicitor General, is investigating the incident.

Tasers have been linked to the

deaths of more than 25 people in Canada, but the U.S. company that makes them says they have never directly been proven to have caused a death in Canada.

Oatway’s mother, Simone Oatway, said her son battled mental health issues for his whole life but couldn’t always find the help he needed. She questioned the officers’ use of a Taser. “I know he probably was very violent and was out of his mind, but couldn’t there have been another way?� she asked.

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO Air Canada’s operations seemed to be returning to normal Saturday afternoon following a so-called “sickin� by pilots that cancelled dozens of flights and left

some passengers stranded overnight. On its website, the airline said it had resumed its regular schedule Saturday, a day after a number of pilots called in sick, forcing the cancellation of 75 flights.

QUEBEC

New drinking restrictions begin THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - Young drivers in Quebec will face new restrictions on drinking and driving beginning today.

Under the new rules, drivers aged 21 and under aren’t allowed to consume

any alcohol before getting behind the wheel.

Those who violate the policy will face major penalties, including having their licence suspended and fines up to $600.

The policy will affect about 110,000

drivers in the province.

The law was first introduced in Quebec in December 2010.

Ontario, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick already have a similar policy in place.

HAMILTON, Ont. - The Harper government’s cuts to public service jobs are putting Canadians at risk, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair warned Sunday as he vowed to defend the protections people need.

Mulcair launched a scathing attack against Prime Minister Stephen Harper during a speech to Ontario New Democrats meeting in Hamilton, lashing out at the Conservatives for cutting food inspectors after people died from tainted meats, saying it’s a clear sign they have the wrong priorities. “We had people die in Canada a couple

years ago. We had a minister who made jokes about it who is still the minister, and now they’re cutting back on food inspections,� said Mulcair. “They’re cutting back on aeronautical safety. What could be more important for the public?�

Mulcair said it’s easy for government to pick on civil servants, but they should remember those workers provide services.

He also tore a strip off the Conservatives for reducing health transfers to the provinces and for saying they wouldn’t touch pensions when they made changes to Old Age Security in the

budget.

The freshly-minted Opposition leader said the NDP will be going after Harper and targeting the Conservatives’ reputation as good public administrators, which he said they have not earned. “Over the next

The oil industry’s economics of deception

T

here is a chorus singing the praises of the oil industry and its vast economic benefits – from the boardroom of pipeline company Enbridge to the office of the Prime Minister.

They advocate rapid expansion and export of crude oil resources as a panacea for our economic future. They cite big numbers from numerous studies.

The reports are used like quantitative billy-clubs to beat back public inquiry and drive the discussion away from a thorough examination of macroeconomic implications. Instead, we have a forced narrative – industry financial gain must take precedence over environmental risk and First Nations’ rights. This is a false dichotomy.

The reports include Enbridge’s Application to the National Energy Board in support of Northern Gateway pipeline; Canadian Energy Research Institute’s (CERI) studies No. 122, 124, 125 and 128; the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary: “Catching the Brass Ring;” and the Wood Mackenzie Report prepared for the Government of Alberta.

The benefits range from hundreds of thousands of

jobs and trillions of dollars in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in CERI’s studies, $270 billion from Enbridge, $132 billion from the University of Calgary, and $72 billion from the government of Alberta.

These studies suffer from serious weaknesses which render the results not only unreliable, but unusable.

The main ones are: 1. Input-Output Model: All the studies calculate a benefit without sensitivity analysis and develop a single long-term scenario.

No board of directors would accept this approach when making an important investment decision, particularly when the rosy picture is forecast to continue for decades.

All but Wood Mackenzie use this information as input into an Input Output (IO) model to further expand their case.

An IO model presents results as GDP, person years of employment, labour income and government revenues. Using these indicators of economic well being gives the illusion that the model has measured macroeconomic impact, when the model has not – because it cannot.

IO models have severe limitations, over-estimate benefits and ignore econom-

ic costs. They do not perform a cost-benefit analysis. The underlying math constrains the models – they are static, linear, partial equilibrium representations of a sector of the economy at a point in time.

The models have no feedback mechanism so do not incorporate price, exchange rate, interest rate, or other input cost changes on the oil industry or the broader Canadian economy.

All the studies assume higher oil prices – rising to as much as $200 per barrel – but do not consider their impact on consumers as they cut back spending and saving, or businesses as they postpone investment, cut wages, and layoff employees.

IO models tell us the Vancouver Canuck riot was a wealth generating opportunity as would be spilling oil rather than safely trans-

porting it.

2. Exchange Rate: It is generally understood rising oil prices put upward pressure on the Canadian dollar. The studies ignore this.

They assume a fixed and relatively low dollar over the long forecast period which inflates the benefit.

Enbridge, Wood Mackenzie and the University of Calgary assume an 85 cent Canadian dollar. Their U.S. dollar revenues automatically receive an 18 per cent increase when translated to Canadian dollars.

An appreciating dollar hurts the Canadian economy. When the Canadian dollar goes up, the price of exports increase, foreign demand falls, and slower growth with job losses, follow.

For example, if the dollar is at par and oil sells for $100 U.S. per barrel, gross revenue is $100 Canadian.

If the dollar rises to $1.05, that same barrel is worth $95.24 Canadian – a decline in gross revenue of 4.76 per cent.

Unless this relationship is included, estimates of financial returns, investment, and future supply, will be exaggerated. These unrealistic supply forecasts are then used to support the need for new pipelines to service the U.S. and China.

3. Oil Prices: Not only do the studies depend on rapidly rising oil prices, a number also require higher oil prices in Canada with new pipelines than without them.

This perverse market outcome occurs because access to the higher priced markets in the U.S. Gulf Coast and Asia will allow producers to charge higher prices for the oil they sell in Canada.

Refineries pass higher prices on and if they can’t suffer reduced margins and may shut down. When refineries close, the price on petroleum products rises anyway because of lost production.

Either way, Canadian consumers and businesses pay more because of new pipelines, and this needs to be incorporated into a macroeconomic discussion of their impact.

Economic growth in all parts of Canada is needed to ensure national progress.

To realize this progress requires a courageous look at economic reality along with sound analysis – not a reliance on studies that enable the economics of deception.

Robyn Allan is an economist whose study “An Analysis of Oil Expansion Economics” forms the basis for this backgrouder.

LETTERS & OPINION

Bank of Canada and its policy An editorial from the Halifax Chronicle Herald Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney must feel like he’s firmly stuck between the proverbial rock and hard place.

The central bank governor continues to warn Canadians that a day of fiscal reckoning is inevitably coming. Canada has piled up record levels of household debt while awash in cheap credit - thanks to the bank’s ultra-low interest rate policy - and soaring realestate values.

Carney has jawboned for more than a year that when interest rates rise, some overextended Canadians may find themselves unable to keep up with their loan payments, especially if that increase is accompanied by a downturn in house values.

At the same time, however, Carney has been understandably worried about Canada’s slipping share of the world export market, due to the country’s slow growth in exports.

But, as Carney pointed out

in a recent speech, the bank’s own analysts say Canada’s high-flying loonie is responsible for half of the decline in the country’s share of world exports.

Raising interest rates, as the central bank governor well knows, would only drive the loonie higher, exacerbating the export crisis.

That’s because the interest rate policy of the U.S. Federal Reserve has been formally set to remain ultra-low well into 2014.

The loonie is now at par with the greenback. If Carney moved interest rates here well above those south of the border, the loonie would inevitably appreciate even further against the U.S. dollar.

Despite Carney’s conundrum, there are signs the governor’s nagging - along with similar warnings from other political and financial leaders - may finally be sinking in.

An annual survey by accounting firm PwC in December found Canadians indicated they’d be more willing to put off major purchases

in 2012 than when asked a year earlier.

That coincided with a dip in the national ratio of household debt to income in December from a month earlier - from a record 151.9 per cent in November to a still worrisome 150.6 per cent the following month.

Of course, PwC also forecast that slackening in credit demand would increase competition among banks for a smaller loan market.

That suggests low interest rates will continue to be offered by banks to try to entice Canadians to keep borrowing.

The wild card here is inflation. If inflation, which so far has been relatively under control, spikes beyond the central bank’s comfort level of two per cent, Carney will be forced to raise rates, regardless of what happens to the loonie.

In any case, the message to consumers hasn’t changed.

Low interest rates won’t last forever.

Now’s the time to get your debt under control.

Getting the message across An editorial from the New Glasgow News To be of any use, language has to be an agreed-upon set of expressions. According to some, that would include the symbols and short forms used in cellphone texting.

While the use of various acronyms and pared-down spellings is scandalous to old school grammarians, academics at several Canadian universities are studying texting, and how that’s affecting the way people write.

Some of the profs - from Simon Fraser University, Universite de Montreal and University of Ottawa - involved in the Text4Science project go so far as to say it’s not a matter of texters losing the ability to spell, they’re actually being creative with language.

A lot of those who pride themselves on still being able to craft a formal letter might scoff at that.

But consider there have been many times in history that critics feared inventions would water down people’s brains.

Even the advent of the printing press in the 15th century had some saying it would hamper people’s ability to think - since up to that point without wide access to the printed word, people had to rely more on memory.

Christian Guilbault, an associate professor at SFU and a member of the project’s team, says he doesn’t believe texting is degrading people’s abilities, but is pushing people to use language creatively on a device that constrains the

volume of words used.

The researchers will collect data and begin their analysis at the end of the summer.

Where this sort of study will bother most people worried about loss of communication skills is that it tends to legitimize the truncated words and phrases.

The other problem is that the language needs to be widely understood to pass muster.

Our ancestors wouldn’t have brought down many woolly mammoths if their communications were muddy.

Still, is there an alternative, other than making the best of such change? Technology isn’t about to stop. And - as with the printing press and countless other inventions it drives the way we express ourselves.

TOM FOORD

Kal Tire founder was great philanthropist THE CANADIAN PRESS VERNON, B.C. - Tom Foord, who turned a local tire store in Vernon into an international business worth hundreds of millions of dollars, has died. He was 89.

Foord, one of the founders of Kal Tire, died Thursday in Vernon of complications stemming from heart failure, the company said in a statement released Friday.

Foord and his business partner, Jim Lockhead, started Kal Tire in Vernon in 1953, taking the name from Kalamalka Lake.

The company now operates in 20 countries with 4,600 employees. Many of its overseas operations deal in the giant tires used by vehicles in the mining industry.

Foord stepped down as company CEO more than a decade ago, but the company remains in the family, with his son Robert now serving as president.

Foord told radio station KISS FM in 2007 that he couldn’t imagine a better place than Vernon to base his company.

“We’ve been tempted with the idea of moving our operation to a more central location,” he said in the interview.

“It wouldn’t happen as long as I was alive, I can tell you that, because while I was born in Saskatchewan, Vernon is really more my heart than anywhere.”

Foord was born on May 8, 1922, in Instow, Sask., the oldest of seven children. He met his wife Norah while they both were stationed in Newfoundland with the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War and returned to her hometown of Vernon after getting married in 1944.

Foord and his wife supported several groups and charities over the years, including helping the People Place Society buy land in Vernon for a building that now serves as home to many North Okanagan community organizations.

The city responded to his philanthropy by handing him its Most Valuable People Award in 1989 for his outstanding contribution to the community and its Corporate Good Citizen of the Year Award in 1993. Foord was also named to the Order of B.C. in 2000.

Services held on Titanic’s anniversary THE CANADIAN PRESS HALIFAX - A sombre but historic memorial service was held Sunday in Halifax amid 121 black headstones, the most tangible and sorrowful link the city has with RMS Titanic, the opulent luxury liner that sank to the bottom of the North Atlantic 100 years ago to the day.

Under a cloudless sky, the interfaith service at the Fairview Lawn cemetery brought to a conclusion a weekend of events commemorating the demise of the massive steamship in the early hours of April 15, 1912.

“Today we gather to remember, not just this legendary ship, but the lives she took with her,” said Andrew Murphy, chairman of the Titanic 100 Society.

“We also remember our hometown heroes, the volunteers who put their own lives at risk to bring our victims ashore and the people who responded then as we do now with dignity and respect.”

Some 1,500 passengers and crew died after the pride of the White Star Line struck an iceberg south of the Grand Banks and foundered. There were just over 700 survivors, all of them taken to New York aboard the Cunard ship Carpathia.

In all, there are 150 Titanic passengers and crew buried in three Halifax cemeteries.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/ANDREW VAUGHAN

Children head past the grave of the unknown child at a memorial service at Fairview Lawn Cemetery to mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of RMS Titanic in Halifax on Sunday.

Of these, 42 victims remain unidentified.

Halifax resident David Treffler said he came to the ceremony to pay tribute to the passengers in steerage whose optimism for a better life was dashed by disaster.

“They wanted to turn a new page and give a better life to their families, and they never made it,” he said.

“They scraped and borrowed and begged to get this trip. And I think that, at one time or another, we all have taken trips where we had to scrape and borrow to get there. You can identify with that.”

Treffler’s wife, Catherine, said the Titanic’s legacy is the lesson its sad fate teaches us about human pride.

“It’s a good example of the pride ... they had in building something that was supposedly unsinkable - and it sank. It’s a good example for your own life. You better take notice of what you take pride in. It could sink, too.”

Lorraine Brooks, visiting from Belleville, Ont., said Sunday’s events made her wonder what would happen if a similar tragedy happened off our

shores.

“If it happened today, would it be women and children first?” she asked.

“Would we put the first-class (passengers) higher than the rest?

That’s what really makes it interesting.”

The most notable headstone in the Fairview Lawn cemetery is that of Titanic’s “unknown child.” DNA analysis revealed only last year that the tiny body in the grave was that of 19-month-old Sidney Goodwin, an English toddler whose entire family perished in the sinking.

In another grave

is James Dawson, a young crew member who worked in Titanic’s grimy engine room lugging coal to its gigantic boilers. Typically, his grave is strewn with flowers, left by tourists who confuse him with the fictional character Jack Dawson, the hero of James Cameron’s 1997 blockbuster film “Titanic.”

The Halifax commemoration, which included a candlelight procession through the city’s downtown the night before, were among several events held around the world to mark the grim anniversary.

EMILE ‘BUTCH’ BOUCHARD

Legendary Canadiens’ captain won four Stanley Cups THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - Emile (Butch) Bouchard, a longtime Montreal Canadiens captain and four-time Stanley Cup winner, died Saturday. He was 92.

Friend and sports analyst Ron Fournier says Bouchard was surrounded by his family when he died.

The defenceman scored 49 goals in 785 games during his 15-year NHL career,

captaining the Habs for eight seasons before retiring in 1956. The Canadiens won the Stanley Cup four times while Bouchard was with the team, twice while he was captain.

“He was one of the great captains in the history of the Canadiens,” said Rejean Houle, the Habs alumni president.

“It was a period where the team really became a dynasty.”

Pierre Bouchard, member of the Canadiens himself from 1970 to 1978, said his father remained active until the end of his life.

“He was one of the leaders in the 1940s for a team that wasn’t going anywhere, and then later, things went very well, with the arrival of Maurice (Richard) and all the others after that,” Pierre Bouchard said.

Emile Bouchard was also a

successful Montreal businessman. Hockey didn’t keep him from beekeeping during his playing career. From 1938 to 1950, his 1.2 million bees produced up to 6,800 kilograms of honey annually.

In 1948, he opened his own restaurant, called Butch Bouchard, in downtown Montreal. It was a mainstay in the area, hosting cabaret shows and musicians until it closed in 1983.

JIM BAILEY, TIMOTHY SCHAFER PHOTOS

Clockwise from top: Jesse Ronson took the lightweight title bout from Pride Gym’s Brad Causey at the AM Ford Fight Night at the Trail Memorial Centre Saturday.

Pride’s Landon Gigure went three strong rounds and won the decision over Justin Boardman, while Sheldon Doll of Cranbrook choked out Chilliwack’s Darwin Douglas for the win. In the fight of the night, Pride Gym’s Jordan Knippelberg TKO’d Fernie’s Brandon MacArthur in an exciting third-round victory.

‘Demolition’ delivers drama and devastation

BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor

Thrilling victories by Pride Gym fighters more than made up for devastating set-backs, as AM Ford Fight Night “Demolition” delivered an evening of punishing blows and exciting matches.

It was a night highlighted by Trail’s Morgan-River Jones’ victory over Jade DeHaas and Jordan Knippelberg’s epic battle with a tough Brandon MacArthur.

Jones retained her bantamweight title with a late fourthround TKO over the lanky Texan.

After a slow start, Jones worked DeHaas hard in the corner, tying her up and controlling the match more and more as it wore on.

“I felt she was getting tired, and my cardio is fantastic, it’s the best shape I’ve ever been in,” said Jones following the match.

With just over a minute left in round four, Jones took a fatigued DeHaas to the ground, maneouvered into a full-mount position

and let the fists fly.

“I tend to be too cerebral in my fights so you know, I went back to the drawing board and came back (hard).”

DeHaas started strong, using her superior reach in landing several hard shots and throwing Jones to the mat early in the first round.

But Jones wasn’t too concerned about the initial outburst, as she came out in the third with solid strikes followed by a take down.

“I try not to over think what goes on in there, I try to do what my coaches tell me,” said the world number-three ranked amateur fighter.

With the crowd chanting her name, Jones continued to clinch, grinding DeHaas with knees and elbows and wearing her down until the TKO in the fourth.

undoubtedly the fight of the night.

The two combatants slugged it out, trading intense and brutal exchanges before the Pride Gym fighter scored a TKO at 2:31 of round three.

Knippelberg refused to be drawn into a ground game against the stocky Fernie fighter until late in the third when he took advantage of an opening, executed the crucifix, and pounded away at MacArthur until the referee stopped the bout.

“He is tough as hell, man,” said Knippelberg after the match. “I hit him when he was on the ground really hard, and he just kept on coming. I knew it was going to be a tough fight.”

MacArthur floored Knippelberg early in the first with a spinning elbow that caught the Pride fighter square on the chin. But

Knippelberg responded with a butterfly guard, and was able to defend himself and hold off the attack.

“That one really took me out,” he said. “But that (stuff) happens, you get rocked and you just keep on going.”

Knippelberg kept the aggressive fighter at bay with great footwork and counter punches until he saw his opening.

“He tried to take me down, and I reversed his take down, and got his arm between my legs and the other one under this arm and just started hammering him.”

In the main event, the lightweight title was on the line as Pride Gym’s Brad Causey faced Ontario’s Jesse Ronson, in a muchanticipated battle between two top fighters.

Ronson, however, would catch

Causey early, dropping him with a quick right hand seconds into the bout. Causey fought back aggressively, landing several hard shots of his own and scoring a take down midway through the round.

But the southpaw was too much as he continued to land combinations, and with just six seconds left in the first, Ronson caught Causey with a vicious uppercut that put the Pride fighter down for good.

After the tilt, Ronson said his strategy going into the fight was simple.

“Pressure,” he said. “Move him backwards, I heard he (Causey) hits like a truck, which he does – he’s hit me harder than anybody’s ever hit me in my life. I’ve had 40 amateur fights, this is my 11th pro MMA . . . he’s hit me harder than anything.”

Nitehawks falter

BY TIMES STAFF

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks crash landed in Abbotsford on the weekend as they failed to medal at the Cyclone Taylor tournament.

After cruising to a KIJHL playoff championship, the Nitehawks were poised to take the provincial title, but the teams on the coast thought otherwise.

Beaver Valley lost the bronzemedal game Sunday, 5-3, to the Delta Ice Hawks to finish fourth at the Cyclone.

Ryan Edwards gave the Nitehawks a 3-2 lead midway through the third frame, but Delta scored three unanswered goals to skate to the victory.

Delta opened the scoring in the first, but the Nitehawks Dallas Calvin would tie it at the 4:53 mark.

John Proctor scored on a power play to put Delta up 2-1, however, Justin Niminiken tied it nine minutes into the third period before Edwards would give B. V. a short-lived lead.

The tournament hosted league champion Beaver Valley from the KIJHL, Delta from the Pacific International Junior Hockey League,

the Victoria Cougars from the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League and the host Abbotsford Pilots with the teams playing each other once to determine Sunday’s final and consolation final.

The Nitehawks opened the tournament on Thursday with a 1-1 draw against Delta, and followed that up with a 3-0 loss to Victoria on Friday.

It was the first time the Hawks had been shut out all season and virtually put them out of the race for Sunday’s final. Delta had also beaten Abbotsford in the PIJHL playoff final to qualify, yet, the Pilots took it to the Ice Hawks at the Cyclone winning 6-4 on Friday.

The Nitehawks entertained an outside chance of advancing. With a decisive win over Abbotsford combined with a Delta victory over Victoria Saturday, they could squeeze in. Delta did their part, beating the Cougars 7-2, but the Pilots snuck past the Hawks with a 4-3 victory, dashing Beaver Valley’s chances.

The score of the Victoria and Abbotsford final was unavailable at press time.

LEISURE

Tell community the truth about ‘perfect’ husband Dear Annie: This past year has been hell in my marriage. My husband has gone out of his way to mistreat me. It has been eight years since we have had sex. He claims it’s due to a physical problem, but that’s not true.

I once spotted him fondling a female guest during a dinner prayer and getting excited.

He told me I repulse him and that’s why he won’t do anything about his sex problem.

I asked him to leave, and he refused, saying he’d let the house rot to the ground before I’d get it. So I moved out.

He gave my cell number to our preacher and church members and told them he could not live without me.

After receiving calls threatening to have me publicly removed from their membership, I went back to him.

We went to our deacon’s house for dinner last week, and he told them how he stayed home to take care of

ANNIE’S

MAILBOX

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

me after I was in a car accident, listing all the sacrifices he made on my behalf. He failed to mention that the reason he could stay home was that he had been fired from his job for sexual harassment -his third offense. The church thinks he is wonderful and I am the bad guy.

I am not looking to destroy his reputation.

I just want to get away from him before he further ruins my life.

He has even lied to our children, saying I left because I have a boyfriend on the side. They believe him. What can I do? -- I Am So Sad Dear Sad: Your husband is a bully who

is counting on the fact that you won’t defend yourself. Stop worrying about his reputation and consider your own.

Please tell your children and the deacon the truth about your situation, and ask for their help. Counseling would be a good first step, with or without your husband, through your church or via your doctor’s recommendation.

Dear Annie: A friend and I met at a restaurant to have dinner with a few close family members. One of the attendees is an insulin dependent diabetic. Just after ordering, while seated at the table, this person raised his shirt and injected himself in the stomach with insulin.

It was unexpected and not the dining experience my friend and I expected to share.

I will be dining out with this person later this summer.

What should I do or say to avoid a repeat of

that unappetizing start to a meal? -- Lost My Appetite Dear Lost: Unless these things can be done so discreetly that no one notices, it is best to inject insulin, insert contact lenses, brush hair, floss teeth, repeatedly blow one’s nose, apply makeup, etc., in the restroom instead of subjecting your tablemates to your personal requirements. Some diabetics find this enormously inconvenient (and we can’t blame them if the restrooms are unclean) and expect others to be tolerant. If your friend is one of those, we suggest you either avert your gaze and make the best of it, or tell the others to go ahead and order because you’ll be arriving late.

Dear Annie: I was compelled to respond to “Worried Mom,” who complains about her 22-year-old son’s antisocial behavior while he is studying for the MCAT.

I remember very well studying for the MCAT. I spent every waking hour of the weekends at the library so I would not be disturbed. I studied nonstop all week. My friends worried when I left events after only 30

minutes. My parents saw me rarely.

The MCAT is a purposefully difficult exam. It weeds out those who are not serious about medicine as a career. Doctors sacrifice their personal lives for their patients.

I recommend the parents do their son a huge favor and leave him alone. If he doesn’t get into medical school due to insufficient study, he will forever regret his laxity. -- M.D. and a Happily Married Mother of Two

LEISURE

YOUR HOROSCOPE

By Francis Drake For Tuesday, April 17, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a wonderful, feelgood day for you. You have a warm feeling in your tummy and are happy with the world. No doubt your positive feelings will spread to and benefit others.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Relations with females will go very well today. In fact, someone might do a favor for you, so be open to this. Not all favors arrive with strings attached.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Others, especially bosses, view you in very positive terms today. You appear to be successful and happy with what you’re doing. Use this to your advantage if you want to ask for something.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Opportunities to travel or explore further education might drop in your lap today.

In particular, you will enjoy talking with people from different backgrounds. Possibly a casual meeting will turn into something warmer?

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a good day to ask for a loan or mortgage, because others are more inclined than usual to help you. In fact, gifts, goodies and favors definitely could come your way!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is an excellent day to sit down with partners and close friends to explore ideas.

Everyone wants to think big.

(Well, you can do this, too.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A happy day at work. Even your health feels good. Enjoy positive relations with coworkers, customers and clients. Work-related travel is likely.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You feel playful and prank-

ish today. Enjoy flirtations, sports, the arts, movies, social events and fun times with children. Your motto is, “Let’s have fun!”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Things are going smoothly at home today. You’ll enjoy hanging out or entertaining at home. Family discussions will be positive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Because it’s easy to have

a positive outlook on life today, you’ll enjoy talking with everyone, especially siblings and neighbors. Trust your big ideas!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an excellent day for business and commerce.

Look for ways to boost your earnings or get a better job. A purchase might please you.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a positive day for

your sign because the Moon is in Pisces, dancing beautifully with lucky, moneybags Jupiter. Things tend to go your way today, so enjoy!

YOU BORN TODAY You’re focused and determined, which is why you succeed in achieving your goals. You never lose sight of what you want. You’re down to earth, and yet you can be flashy and flamboyant. Family is important to you, and you will always work hard to protect
