Former B.C. premier Mike Harcourt speaks to the cream of the Kootenay Boundary political crop at the Trail Memorial Centre gymnasium at the opening of the Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Government’s (AKBLG) convention in Trail on Thursday. The three-day event will end on Sunday with politicians coming together to explore common goals and problems, formulating solutions (and resolutions) along the way.

Progress on teachers’ dispute gets failing grade BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

Negotiations between the province’s teachers and their employers in resolving their differences is receiving a failing grade. On Monday The Canadian Press reported the B.C. Labour Relations Board (LRB) ruled teachers must produce report cards from the beginning of the school year when they staged a limited strike. On Wednesday the LRB rejected a request by the B.C. Teachers Federation to temporarily suspend its sessions with government-appointed mediator Charles Jago. And on Thursday it was discovered an LRB decision on report cards was still forthcoming and students and parents must now wait until

IT’S TIME

Monday to find out if they will receive retroactive reports. Concurrently, teachers are wrapping up three days of voting on whether they want to stop taking part in extracurricular activities to protest the government’s legislation (Bill 22) banning further strike action and the appointment of Jago as mediator. The LRB is still contemplating whether to remove Jago. So it’s hurry up and wait, said Kootenay Columbia Teachers Union president Andy Davidoff. “It’s frustrating because you don’t know what you are going to be doing, and what deadlines you’ll have,” he said. “We’re waiting for a lot of results.” Because teachers are considered

an essential service, their job action had been limited to skipping administrative tasks such as filling out report cards. Last month the B.C. Public School Employers Association had applied to the LRB for a decision on report cards after teachers were legislated to resume full duties, arguing teachers should write two missed report cards so parents know about their children’s progress. Teachers are normally required to produce report cards at this time, and if they are legislated Monday to produce retroactive cards, they will have to do so in the next two weeks. “Report cards take a lot of work,” Davidoff said. “The workload issue is a big one. You don’t expect to do two sets of report cards within two weeks

of each other.” The BCTF went to the LRB earlier this month asking it to fire Jago, claiming he was biased in favour of the provincial government. While the board was making its decision, the federation wanted it to suspend mediation sessions involving Jago, the BCTF and school employers. The province will heavily fine teachers if they choose to oppose the back-to-work legislation — $475 per day — so the teachers are looking at the legal and political options around the bill. Bill 22, which bans further walkouts, forces teachers to resume their normal teaching duties and imposes a six-month “cooling-off” period, and then sends the contract dispute to mediation.

People are asked to lend their voice to the shaping of post secondary education in the West Kootenay. Selkirk College is embarking on formulating a strategic plan to guide the college over the next five years, and they will be in Trail May 15 to gather input at a community open house. Communities are key stakeholders in our college, said Selkirk president Angus Graeme in a press release. “Communities … are the foundation upon which we’ve grown and the people we serve,” he said. “Help us remain relevant, responsive, and reflective of our communities’ needs.” Imagine Selkirk suggestion boxes are available on each campus — including one in Trail — until the end of April. People can answer these questions manually and place the suggestion slips in the boxes (for those who prefer pen and paper methods). For those who want to submit feedback online, your voice can be heard by answering questions in as little or as much detail as you like. Selkirk representatives will be in Trail May 15 in the Muriel Griffiths Recital Room at 4 p.m. for input.

LOCAL Trail artist giving back to church Art work for sale on Saturday BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

A Trail artist is donating her life’s work to raise money for a much-needed renovation at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church in Trail. Painter Catherine Wetmore has dug through her work that dates back to the 80s to pull together a collection of acrylic, watercolour and mixedmedium pieces to sell off for a good cause. “Having lived a great deal of my life near forests, tundra and water, I try to express in my paintings a connection with nature – one that is spiritual, magical and awesome,” she notes on her website (catherinewetmore. com). “I hope, within my images, to convey these expressions of the earth – a beautiful world that needs cherishing.” The money made at the sale held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. will go toward the $120,000 needed to

improve accessibility – which will include the installation of a wheelchair lift – to the common room in the basement of the Trail church. “It’s a wonderful statement of her faith,” said churchwarden Michael Hargreaves. “The building was built in 1955 and at that time we just didn’t think about handicap access or things of that nature. It’s more a need these days. In fact, the demographics of Trail is much older than it used to be.” Wetmore holds the church very near and dear to her heart, noting that the architect who built it was a close friend, and that her children were baptized and her daughter married there. The UBC fine arts degree graduate returned to Trail four years ago with her husband Douglas after 30 years in Vancouver and the Okanagan. Her daughters had all moved back to the Kootenays so the Wetmores followed, and bought a house

She hasn’t put down the paintbrush in about 60 years and still creates art, which is on display at Trail’s VISAC Gallery and the Rouge Gallery in Rossland. “I guess it’s in my

blood,” she said. “I just like making images and there are things that move me, particularly in landscape.” About 30 larger framed pieces will be on display during a silent auction for the first three hours of the exhibit, with the

remaining couple hundred pieces for sale at a reduced price up to 75 per cent off. “The prices are so silly that it enables people who love art and would love to have a piece of original art to go ahead and do it,” said Hargreaves.

New housing relief has little impact locally BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

New housing relief measures introduced by the province recently likely won’t bring any relief to the housing market in the Greater Trail region, says a local real estate agent. Fred Behrens of Coldwell Banker said the housing relief measures brought in April 1 largely apply to newly constructed homes in the $525,000 to $850,000 range. He said the incentives announced by the government touch on a wide spectrum of people, from first time buyers, new home construction, existing homeowners who plan to purchase vacation homes, and seniors who want to retrofit their homes. The measures are to stimulate the economy through new

construction and substantial renovations, in most cases primary residences (except vacation homes). The changes include an increase to the new housing HST rebate threshold to $850,000. That means British Columbians buying a new home as a primary residence are eligible for a rebate of the provincial portion of HST up to $42,500, based on this higher threshold. More than 90 per cent of newly built homes are below this threshold. “The devil is always in the details, though,” Behrens said. “In our area, there are not that many newly constructed homes being built in (that) range, so it probably won’t have a big effect. But an increase to the upper limit can’t hurt.”

As well, the purchase of a newly built secondary vacation home up to $850,000 — built outside of the greater Vancouver/capital area — has to have all of the HST paid up front. But people need to apply and qualify for the grant directly from the B.C. Ministry of Finance afterwards. A new B.C. Seniors’ Home Renovation Tax Credit of up to $1,000 annually — giving back 10 per cent of an expenditure — is available to help with the cost of permanent home renovations that provide people aged 65 and over with increased independence. “It is better than nothing but I don’t think that will be a determining factor for most seniors to make the decision to renovate their home,” said

Behrens. “A more significant rebate in the 30 per cent range would make a bigger difference.” He said people need to spend the money up front before receiving a tax credit. “Either you have the money or you don’t,” he said. A bonus of up to $1,000 for first-time buyers of newly built homes was also announced. This refundable tax credit comes with a lot of stipulations including eligibility, said Behrens. Most first time homebuyers in Greater Trail don’t build new homes because they are not priced at entry-level affordability. “If the government really wanted to stimulate the new housing starts they might want to reconsider the eligibility standards,” he said.

Q A

How can I protect myself against drivers who are not carrying enough third party liability?

Every vehicle insured in B.C. must carry a minimum of $200,000 third party liability. However, a coverage called Underinsured Motorist Protection exists for BC Drivers License holders. This covers you up to a total amount of $1,000,000 per person, in the event that you, a member of your household, and/or your passengers are injured in an accident where the other driver is at-fault and doesn’t have enough insurance to cover the amount of a settlement or damages awarded by a court. This coverage protects you and your household while your are a driver or passenger in almost any vehicle, as well as if you are injured by an underinsured driver while on a bicycle, or on foot. Excess Underinsured Motorist protection, or Excess UMP, bumps this up to $2,000,000 for a very affordable premium of $25 per year. This extra coverage can be purchased at the same time you are buying your ICBC vehicle insurance, or can be purchased any other time—even if you don’t have a vehicle insured with ICBC. However, this coverage will not cover the members of your household if they are an occupant in a vehicle that is registered solely in their name. For more information on the Excess Underinsured Motorist Protection and instances when it cannot be claimed, or any other concerns regarding your insurance needs, please contact any one of our 8 locations.

expected move since last November’s election, after a majority of five trustees supporting a no-cuts mandate were elected to School District 79’s board. And after months of collecting community feedback through surveys, meetings and delegations, the board voted Wednesday 5-2 in favour of building a deficit budget. A deficit budget is considered to be an illegal move that could eventually see the board fired, and a single trustee appointed by the education ministry in its place.

However, board chairwoman Eden Haythornthwaite argues the coming fiscal plan is not actually a deficit budget. Her motion calls for a balanced budget “by seeking additional revenue from the government” as well as the creation of a multiyear financial plan, in partnership with the Ministry of Education, to rebuild programs and services during trustees’ three-year term. “I don’t know exactly what’s going to happen,” she admitted. “But I do know one thing I’m very sure of ... I know what will happen if we don’t do this. I’ve seen it. We have empirical evidence of what happens when we simply continue to comply, and we don’t speak up. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no.” The board has long struggled with funding shortfalls, and in recent years has elim-

inated several programs and services, as well as cut staff, to make ends meet. But four of Cowichan’s nine trustees say that doesn’t excuse illegal behaviour from the board. “We feel it’s fiscally irresponsible for us to do this,” said Trustee Cathy Schmidt, also speaking on behalf of trustees Candace Spilsbury and Ryan Bruce. “We believe it’s unlawful decision making. We’ve been directed (by the ministry) that the dollars are the dollars.” Others support a new approach. “I believe restoring these services is the only way to go,” said Trustee Deb Foster. “It is the path least travelled but it’s something different, and we definitely need a different approach because over the last few years we have cut $8.2-million to our children.”

OBITUARIES VARNER (NEE CUSHING), VERA SALOME â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our mother, Vera Salome Varner, on April 18th, 2012 with her family by her side. Vera was born in Kelowna, BC on July 31, 1917. She moved to Vancouver to pursue her career as a pharmacist. In 1941, Vera married the love of her life, Derrell, whom she met at the Kelowna Rowing Club. Vera and Derrell and their daughters moved to Trail in 1953 when Derrell accepted a transfer with Eatons. Vera worked at pharmacies in Trail, Fruitvale, and Salmo. She loved her trips down south each winter with Derrell. She was devoted to her church and she volunteered at the senior homes as the pianist for sing-a-longs. She loved to knit for her family and has created many sweaters and afghans which will hold fond memories for all of us. Vera adored her four daughters and after Derrell passed, she enjoyed all of her new adventures with the girls. Vera was always positive and cheerful and loved people. She will live on in the hearts of her children; Lynn (Alton), Janis (Sydney), Diane (Chuck) and Wendy (Michael); 9 grandchildren: Kevin (Holly), Kristy (Paul), Emma (Braydon), Neville (Brea), Kyle (Krystal), Kate, Colleen, Evan and Nathan; and her 6 great-grandchildren: Zoe, Tessa, Kaeden, Amy, Sean and Brooklyn. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Trail United Church at 1300 Pine Avenue Trail, BC on Saturday, April 21, 2012 at 10:00 am with Reverend Keith Simmonds officiating. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Servicesâ&#x201E;˘ has been entrusted with arrangements. The family wishes to express their appreciation and gratitude for the loving care mom received from Dr. Hume, Silver City Gardens staff, Interior Health Home, Community Care Services and the 3rd floor nurses at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital. Your compassion and support will last in our hearts forever. Special thanks to family and friends who provided comfort during our time of sorrow.

He was loved and will be greatly missed by his wife of fifty years- Rita. He also leaves four children Don, Susan (Jeremy), Josie (Kevin) and Karen; seven wonderful grandchildren Mackenzie (Sean), Caleigh, Emily, Joe, Alexandra, Katie and Michael; and two great grand children Deacon and Cushla. His legacy will be through the memories of those he loved. Joe was born in Trail, BC and no matter where life took him, the Kootenays were always part of his spirit. He often talked about growing up in Warfield, and the times at J. Lloyd Crowe High School. Upon graduation he completed the Cominco Assayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apprenticeship Program, beginning his career in Trail. His profession soon took the family north to the NWT, and the Yukon. These were times of great adventure and opportunity. Before retirement, Joe worked for many years in the Vancouver area, and in a consulting role for mines in far reaching areas. Joe valued the opportunity of meeting new friends throughout his life experiences. Joe was predeceased by his parents Catherine and Reginald German and his sister Lois. In keeping with Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes there will be no service to mark his passing. He would want his friends and family to remember him for his strength and honesty. It was important to Joe that his ashes be returned to the place of his roots, this will be honored.

STEEP, CARRIE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the family of Carrie Steep, who passed January 16, 2012, invite you to join them in a celebration of Carrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life at the Trail Legion Hall on Sunday, April 29 at 1:00pm. *** LANGILLE, STAN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Celebration of Life for Stan Langille who passed away February 14, 2012 will take place at Genelle Community Hall on Sunday April 22, 2012 at 1:00pm. Come share your memories with family, friends and neighbours! *** CONROY, DOROTHY GRESLEY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; passed away gently on April 12, 2012, with her family at her side. Dorothy was born July 7, 1914, in Dyserth N. Wales, to Elizabeth and Robert John Gresley Jones. Dorothy proudly served her country during the Second World War as a nurse in the RAF before immigrating to Canada in 1949. She is predeceased by her husband James Morton Conroy (d1994), parents, and 11 brothers and sisters. Dorothy is lovingly survived by her son, Richard, and her daughters Genie (Chris) Blackwell, Vikki Conroy, and Geri (Peter McIver) Bryden. She will be greatly missed by her 10 grandchildren: Melanie (Mike) Kelly, Jesse (Swad) Blackwell, Justin (Duyen) Blackwell, Sean Conroy, Julianna Singh, Jennifer (David Fricke) Bryden, Jill (Warren Rosse) Bryden, Josh Bryden, Melissa (Joseph Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Kurley) Bryden and Andrea Bryden. Dorothy was extremely proud of her 3 great-grandchildren: Ava Rosse, Eli Fricke, and Sophie Blackwell. Dorothy is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews in Canada, Britain and Australia. Dorothy will be fondly remembered for her fruitcakes, grilled cheese sandwiches, and her lessons on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;correctâ&#x20AC;? way to make a cup of tea. Dorothy had a great sense of tradition, innate sense of nurturing and a remarkable commitment to walking. Dorothy always enjoyed Coronation Street, a glass of white wine, and the Christmas season. The family would like to thank the staff at Rosewood Manor, Richmond Hospital (3N) and Dr. Vortel for their supportive and compassionate care. In lieu of flowers donations to the B.C. Cancer Society would be appreciated. ***

Liability concerns fuel today’s paranoia

pring came suddenly to the Rossland Range over the Easter weekend. After weeks of heavy, lateseason snow, intense sunshine replaced the clouds and fog, leaving a sodden, sticky base for skiers at Red Mountain. Blue sky is all that’s really needed for a great day on the slopes at this time of year, but I figured a bit of wax would heighten my skiing pleasure. A trip to the Red Mountain ski shop provided not only lubrication but a good laugh as well. Before they would agree to a $15 wax job I had to sign a waiver and initial it twice more for good measure. I felt like I had skied into an old M*A*S*H* episode where smarty-pants clerk Radar patiently explains to Col. Blake that he is signing to acknowledge that he will be initialing the form instead of providing the standard signature. Since the risk of injury and death is an innate part of sliding rapidly downhill

between trees and rocks and then riding a chairlift back into the sky, the ski industry can be excused for its twitchiness. Where real paranoia about legal liability can be found is among many of our public institutions. It is hilarious that municipalities, including several locally, are keen to build skate parks. After years of rebuilding and replacing playgrounds because the sand under the swings wasn’t soft enough and teeter-totters were deemed a menace, they now want kids to do jumps and flips over concrete. Parents are integral to this lunacy. When their children are two they make them wear helmets and seatbelts to ride those little plastic recumbent trikes on which the kid is an inch off the ground and the top speed is about .5 km/h. When he gets bigger, they buy him those nifty skis with the turned up backs so he go faster when jumping off cliffs backwards. Helmets are mandatory, parachutes

optional. The Birchbank golf course is getting into the game this season by limiting the drinking water available on the course to the kind you purchase at great expense (relative to what you are getting: tap water) from little plastic bottles. The concern is that birds and squirrels will contaminate the water the club has been dispensing from plastics urns, which are cleaned, disinfected and filled daily before being locked in wooden stands on the course. The liability concern stems from an incident in Arizona in 2002 when 84

junior golfers contracted the Norwalk virus after drinking contaminated water. One of them died, not from the virus but after choking on his own vomit, and his family won a $3 million claim against the course. During a cursory Internet search I could find no other instances of water-borne tragedies at golf courses. But there are cases of serious injury and death for golfers falling out of motorized carts and being hit by balls, clubs and lightning. It should also be noted that Birchbank is located, not in the United States, but in Canada, where civil damages for pain and suffering and to punish the bad behaviour of defendants are miniscule in comparison to those faced by our more litigious American neighbours. Where there are big awards for personal injuries in Canada, they tend to be for spinal and brain injuries sustained in automobile accidents. Kind of what you would expect from falling out of a golf cart after too many beers

from the mobile beverage service at Birchbank or hitting a vehicle while traversing the course access road and parking lot between nines, where no traffic or liability-limiting warning signs are to be seen. But the club has the squirrels on the run, so be sure to bring a couple litres of water or enough money for the beverage cart the next time you golf on one of our typically scorching summer days. Oh, and you might want to ignore Judge Judy and any other U.S.-based sources of legal information that you are privy to and go back to encasing your kid in bubble wrap for the trip to the post office in her pram. Raymond Masleck is a retired Times reporter and an avid but dangerously bad golfer. Don’t stand beside, behind, or anywhere near him when he is swinging, and cover the ears of children when his post-swing commentary commences.

often (justifiably) feel attacked and even marginalised by popular opinion despite their identification with traditional values. Opposing gay-marriage is far more left-wing than supporting it, in that it challenges the dominant legal and cultural discourses of our time. On the other hand, one might well argue that as soon as a leftwing party forms a government, they cease by definition to be leftwing. A government cannot attack the same authority that it at the same time represents (unless we refer to the organs of government and its bureaucratic mechanisms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but that is a subject for another article). In fact, the leftwing has never really existed, at least as a governing entity. Political parties that self-identify as â&#x20AC;&#x153;leftwingâ&#x20AC;? reek of pretention and a confusion of identity. In truth, most of the reforms for which labour-based parties have traditionally struggled have already been integrated: greater rights for workers, a fair and responsive compensation program for injuries sustained in the course of employment, and a safety net for transitioning between jobs as well as into retirement. Since these goals have already been achieved, self-described left-

wing parties are no longer really seeking to change the system; however much they mouth the words of their heady, â&#x20AC;&#x153;radicalâ&#x20AC;? ideology, their support of reforms which have already been implemented into the dominant political discourse makes them a supporter of the status quo and thus right-wing. They are ideologically bankrupt, struggling to portray themselves as maligned victims while in fact their politics reinforce the established mechanisms of power. The fact that they would viciously contest this speaks more to their own lack of consciousness than the veracity of their beliefs, the sincerity of which I do not care to impugn. Thus, we have political parties that selfidentify as right-wing whose policies would be more accurately described as left-wing, who disagree amongst themselves as to the definition of rightwing. At the same time we have parties which self-identify as leftwing whose policies support established institutions, a stance that is more accurately described as right-wing. If this sounds confusing, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because it is. This very basic level of confusion discourages voters from partaking in the political process. Why would anyone

Celebrate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms An editorial from the Waterloo Region Record Thirty years ago this week, Canada changed forever and for better. It happened in a brief moment on Parliament Hill in Ottawa when, with a twist of her regal wrist, Queen Elizabeth signed into law the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Then, for the first time, Canada became a truly independent nation. And then, more than ever before, individuals and groups in this country were shielded from abusive or misguided governments. As political moments go, this was the most momentous political event since Confederation had welded a group of colonies into one country 115 years earlier. On April 17, 1982, Canada enjoyed full independence because, for the first time, it had the power to change its most fundamental law - its constitution - in its own Parliament. No longer would it have to ask the consent for such changes from a

foreign government, the British Parliament, on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. If this made Canadians walk more proudly, the rights and freedoms proclaimed that day let them walk more securely. It would be wrong to assume that, before this date, Canadians did not generally enjoy freedom of religion, speech or assembly. Most of the time, they did. But governments did, from time to time, infringe on those and other freedoms. And when that happened, Canadians had few legal tools at their disposal with which to challenge a high-handed government. The charter aimed to - and did - change this. Its words constructed a protective bulwark around the rights and liberties of everyone in this country. And on those towering ramparts stand our courts and judges, defending the citizen against the state, guarding the minority from the excesses of a parliamentary majority. Since the day the char-

ter was signed with so much pomp and ceremony, Canadian courts have been able to rule on whether a federal or provincial law is compatible with the standards codified in what amounts to the supreme law of the land. And if a law offends the charter it can be overthrown. Canadians should always remember that in our parliamentary system, a majority government, and especially the prime minister or premier of such a government, wields enormous powers. Thanks to the charter, our courts have become a trusted and responsible check on those enormous powers. In retrospect, we underestimated the charter, as well as the abilities of both our judiciaries and legislatures. As foundations go, this charter is bedrock on which a more fair and tolerant nation has risen. And it deserves enthusiastic celebration, this week and always.

bother to participate in a political party that is mistaken as to their very premises as an organization? In a social context where the definitions of

â&#x20AC;&#x153;rightâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;left-wingâ&#x20AC;? have been so misused and intermingled that even those members who self-identify using these terms have little sense of what they actu-

ally mean, we would be better off to abandon the usage of these terms altogether. Nelson Peters is a law student at Universite Laval in Quebec City.

RELIGION

Pope celebrates 85th birthday THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI celebrated a very Bavarian birthday Monday, marking his 85 years with his brother, German bishops and a musical band from his native land. Benedict began the day with a Mass in which he alluded to his own mortality, saying he would carry on his final years knowing that God was watching over him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am facing the final leg of the path of my life and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ahead,â&#x20AC;? Benedict said in his homily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know though that Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light is there ... and that his light is stronger than every darkness.â&#x20AC;? Benedict was later joined in the Vaticanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frescoed Clementine Hall by about 150 Bavarians, including bishops, political leaders and representatives of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Protestant and Jewish communities. He was serenaded by 10 children dressed in traditional Bavarian garb who danced for him and recited a poem, and by Bavarian musicians who performed a song he and his siblings sang as children while their father accompanied them on a zither. A very emotional pope said those gathered â&#x20AC;&#x153;represent for me the stations of my life.â&#x20AC;? Speaking off-the-cuff, he singled out the role played by the Jewish community in Bavaria for â&#x20AC;&#x153;bringing me closer emotionally to the Jewish people.â&#x20AC;? Sitting nearby was Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s older brother Monsignor Georg Ratzinger, who was ordained on the same day as the pope in 1951 and flew to Rome for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebrations, which also include the seventh anniversary of Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election as pope, on Thursday. Despite his age and increasing frailty - he has begun using a cane on occasion - Benedict has quashed speculation of a possible resignation. On Sunday, he asked for prayers and strength â&#x20AC;&#x153;to fulfil the mission (the Lord) entrusted to me.â&#x20AC;? Cardinal Angelo Sodano issued birthday greetings on behalf of the College of Cardinals that elected Benedict, and welcomed the Bavarian bishops to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;family partyâ&#x20AC;? inside the Apostolic Palace. Speaking in Latin, Sodano wished Benedict â&#x20AC;&#x153;many happy yearsâ&#x20AC;? ahead - sentiments that were echoed in birthday greetings that arrived from German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Queen Elizabeth II and Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president. In Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown of Marktl Am Inn, the faithful marked his birthday by rising at 4:15 a.m. - the time he was born - and walking from his house to the local church for prayers. He received several gifts, including a large crucifix, a Maypole, a traditional Bavarian Easter basket and a bunch of white flowers.

The bulls are on the way, the cowboys are signed up, and while organizers are unsure who will be climbing on the bulls next Saturday, one familiar face has confirmed his return to the Kootenay Chrysler Bull-a-Rama. Chad Besplug, was called up to the big stage earlier this month, but the four-time consecutive champion of Trail’s Bull-a-Rama has confirmed his participation in this year’s ride. “Yeah, I think it (the deadline) was last week,” said Besplug, while traveling through Texas. “So I’ll be there.” After a great year on the Canadian Pro Riding Association (CPRA) circuit Besplug qualified for the “Built Ford Tough” series in the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) circuit in the U.S.A. Last weekend he shot out of a chute in Indianapolis, Ind., and will follow that up with a PBR ride in Des Moines, Iowa this weekend. The 26-year old led the CPRA bull riding series and is the 2011 national bull riding champion, but he hasn’t owned an event like he has Trail’s Bulla-Rama. “I don’t know, I think it’s just luck. I mean I win a certain amount of events every year and you never know where those ones are going to fall. I just seem JIM BAILEY PHOTO to get lucky and draw good bulls there, it’s just one of those things – sometimes cool things like that Chad Besplug rode to victory in four consecutive Kootenay Chrysler Bulla-Ramas at the Trail Memorial Centre and will look for five as he returns happen.” Organizer Guy Thompson is looking forward to Saturday to defend his title. another successful go around, with a full compliment of riders, 50 bulls, youth steer riders and mutton busting I’ve belonged there for a long time.

Besplug back for Bull-a-Rama

The BCHL’s Penticton Vees and Alberta Junior Hockey League’s (AJHL) Brooks Bandits face off today, for the Doyle Cup championship, and on the ice will be no fewer than four former Smokies. Trail native Travis St. Denis will line up for the Vees, while Tanner Hicks, Ryan Luiten and Matt Wilkens are the former Smokies trio on a Bandits team that’s making its first appearance in the Doyle Cup since joining the AJHL in 1999.

Hicks, a Calgary native, was picked up in a five-player trade with the Alberni Bulldogs in October only to be traded before the January deadline to Brooks in a three-way deal that sent 17-yearold Riley McDougall from the Calgary Canucks to the Smokies. Luiten, from Anchorage, Alaska, played in 48 games for the Smoke Eaters in the 2010-11 season before heading to Brooks where he finished third in scoring in 2011-12. Meanwhile, Wilkins, from

Kimberley, was arguably the Bandits’ best player, leading the team in scoring with 34 goals and 65 assists in 60 games. Wilkins was traded in June 2010 in a fiveplayer deal that saw Steve Dobbin and standout Cullen Bradshaw come to Trail. After three campaigns as a Smokie, St. Denis had a great year for the Vees finishing fifth in league scoring with 37-52-89. The Vees led the BCHL this season but last played in the Doyle Cup in 2008.

e shouldn’t a l l o w A p r i l to get away without acknowledging the 50th anniversary of a major accomplishDAVE ment by a Home of Champions team. This month in 1962 the Trail Smoke Eaters Sports ‘n’ Things won their second Allan Cup national amateur hockey championship, meaning that generation of players finally matched the 1938-39 icons with a national and a world title on their resumes. Pretty much the same team had won the worlds the year before, but had kind of backed in to that opportunity after losing the national title to the Chatham Maroons in 1960. Just for a little context, after the 61 Smokies it was 35 years before a Canadian team won another world title - at a time when many of the best players from Europe were involved in NHL playoff play - and Trail played against the best that Russia, Sweden, Checkoslovakia and other European powers had to offer. People have funny, fuzzy memories of that Allan Cup run, most remembering it as easy pickings for a defending world champion whose roster contained most, if decidedly not all, of the talent from the previous season. Not so much. It’s true the Smokies’ swept the Alberta champs three straight, albeit the final game was a one goal affair. Against the Saskatoon Quakers, however, Trail was down three games to two on home ice before rallying to take the last two games and the western title. Game six was a 7-6 nailbiter, game seven was like game one, a 6-0 blitz for the Smokies. Every winner in that series scored at least six goals. The final tally was, Trail 36, Saskatoon, 26, the difference that pronounced only because of those two six-goal shutouts. Against the Montreal Olympiques, Trail was more comfortably in command - except for game two, when Montreal rebounded from an 8-0 shellacking for a 5-2 win to even the best-of-seven.

This has been the best season the Bandits have put together in club history but, like the Vees, the Doyle Cup is just part of the equation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The coaches and players have their eyes on the RBC Cup,â&#x20AC;? said Parker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at the big picture as opposed to a piece of the picture.â&#x20AC;? The first game goes tonight in Brooks. WHL notes: Trail native Joey Baker and the Portland Winterhawks defeated the Kamloops Blazers 2-0 Wednesday to win the best of 7 series 4-3.

Both clubs led their leagues in goals-for in the regular season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re known as a high-scoring team,â&#x20AC;? said Brooks Bulletin sports reporter Bruce Parker of the Bandits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have the league scoring leader (Wilkins, 99 points); they can put the puck in the net.â&#x20AC;? The same would be said of the Vees. The difference may be that Penticton has shown a lockdown defensive ability as well. While they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scored at the same rate in the playoffs as they did in the regular season, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually improved in goals-against going from a 2.22 average in the regular season to a 1.80 number in the playoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get the sense that the teams are very similar,â&#x20AC;? said Penticton Western news sports reporter Emanuel Sequeira. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like trying to figure out how to beat yourself.

The Smokies responded in turn, however, and took the next three, 4-2, 4-1 and 5-3 for the title that matched the accomplishments of their 38-39 forebears. Montreal featured a Richard (yes, that family) who surprisingly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a great skater, and a burly defenseman name Noel Picard who went on to play for Scotty Bowman, and eventually alongside Seth Martin, with the St. Louis Blues after the first NHL expansion. The Richard present, however, possessed a howitzer of a slap shot, the equal of any I have seen in person, and the team itself was very strong on the power play. Several players on that Smoke Eater team were coveted by various (only six in those days) NHL clubs. The most notable among those would have been Warfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Harry Smith - strong, fast, skilled and tough - although none of them took the bait. In the pre-expansion NHL days, there was similar money and better security in good local jobs and business ownership than now exists in pro sports, plus those Smokies liked living here. Many still do, and you know who they are. Happy anniversary guys.

Accept the past and continue to move forward Dear Annie: Bob and I are both divorced from our previous spouses. His ex-wife was unfaithful, and so was my ex-husband. We fell in love even though we live miles apart. I recently visited him for the second time to talk about our future plans. He wanted me to meet his friends, and I happily agreed. “Tina” is a longtime family friend. Bob is godfather to two of her children. She claims to be best friends with Bob’s ex-wife. But during dinner, Tina made inappropriate advances toward Bob. He finally confessed that they had a one-night stand when he discovered his wife was cheating. They swore never to speak of their tryst. This happened long before he met me, and Bob says he feels terrible about it. But Tina made sure I knew they had a sexual history. It took every bit of reserve to maintain my composure that even-

ing. While I have zero respect for a woman who sleeps with her best friend’s man, I am also unhappy with Bob. He has done everything within his power since then to prove that he loves me and wants a future with me, including marriage, but I cannot get past the fact that he and Tina crossed a boundary and still expect to remain friendly. What kind of man would try to merge his past with his present? -- Feeling Confused Dear Confused: Bob has been honest with you, but as godfather to Tina’s children, she will always be in the

picture. Do you trust him not to put himself in a compromising position? That is the sole issue. You cannot change the past. You can only accept it and move forward. You and Bob might benefit from premarital counseling. He sounds worth it. Dear Annie: My daughter is planning a wedding to a great guy, and I am thrilled for her. The problem is, he comes from a very wealthy family. I live in a mobile home. If I’m lucky, I could scratch together $3,000 to put toward their wedding, but that’s it. I don’t want to use the little money I’ve saved toward my retirement. I’ve already spent a fortune on my dress, the gifts and all the little extras. So my question is, how do I offer $3,000 and say that is all I have to give toward the actual wedding? Do I need to apologize? Should I take out a loan or borrow from my retire-

ment to save face? This whole thing is keeping me up at night. -- The Bride’s Mother Dear Mother: Parents should never put themselves in hock in order to pay for a child’s wedding. An adult bride and groom should pay for their own nuptials whenever possible, even if that means cake and punch in the backyard. Tell your daughter you love her very much, and you will be happy to give her $3,000 toward the cost of her wedding. Period. You don’t need to apologize or take out a loan. If she wants something more elaborate, it’s her problem, not yours. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Not Romeo and Juliet,” who said that many years ago, there was some unspecified rift between her family and her boyfriend’s family. Now that she and the boyfriend have reconnected and wish to marry, the families are

angry and vehemently against it. The first thing they should do is have their DNA checked. I’d bet there was an affair between two of those parents and the kids are related. - First-Time Writer from Iowa

Dear Iowa: You could be right, although the rift extends to every member of both families. While an affair seems a likely basis for the animosity, we would hope the parents would inform the couple if they shared

DNA. Instead, they are vague, saying only that they won’t attend the wedding. We think the couple deserves to know why. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Saturday, April 21, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The New Moon today is the perfect time to give serious thought to your value system and your finances. How do things look? What is it you really want? TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The only New Moon all year in your sign is taking place today. Therefore, take a realistic look in the mirror. What can you do to create a better impression on others? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Unless you’re in touch with a value system that guides you, you’ll have difficulty making important decisions. This is a good day to define your guidelines in life. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Do you hang out with quality people? Are you happy with the friends you have? Your friends affect you and your future.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) What are your relationships with the authority figures in your life like, including parents and bosses? Today’s New Moon poses this question for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) What further education, training or travel might you get so that you can improve your job chances or enhance your life? Give this some thought. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) What can you do to reduce your debt? Think of how you can take hold of your life and steer it in the direction you want instead of just reacting to things. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Focus on your closest friendships and partnerships today. Remember: For a relationship to be successful, you must be as good for your partner as he or she is for

give yourself enough playtime? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) What can you do to improve your relations with family members? And also, what can you do to improve where you live so that you enjoy your home better? PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is perhaps the best day of the year to ask yourself about your style of com-

municating with others. Do people understand you? Do you understand and listen to them? YOU BORN TODAY You’re conscientious, reliable and very loyal to family.

CLASSIFIEDS

SUNDAY/MONDAY HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Sunday, April 22, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You are practically exploding with bright, clever ideas today! Do write some of them down. You might think of impractical things, but some of them might be genius. (Who knows?) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Research into any subject will yield some surprising results today. This is because you have an ability to think outside the box, which will help you come up with original answers. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A friend likely will surprise you today. Or you might want to rebel against a group decision. Something unusual will take place with your relationships with others. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs might shock you today. (Ditto for the police.) Be careful you don’t offend others. (And don’t overreact to what they say.) Easy does it.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Brilliant ideas related to studies or philosophy, politics, religion, the law, medicine or racial issues might occur to you today. (“Eureka!”) Clever you. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Surprises about shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances might occur today. However, you also might see a brilliant solution that will help you accomplish something you want. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Partners and close friends might surprise you with some demands today. (Oops.) However, you could be delighted with the results. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Something unusual will take place in your job today. It could be the introduction of new technology or a new coworker. Possibly, surprising news about your health will arise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a highly creative day for anyone working in a creative field, because you are thinking outside the box right now. Your mind is imaginative and full of fantasy! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Something in your home routine will be different today. Unexpected company might drop by. You might run out of something. Small appliances could break down. (Who knows?) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Discussions with others are exciting and different today. You might meet someone who is unusual and highly stimulating. (It’s not a boring day.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Write down your moneymaking ideas, because you might have great ideas about how to boost your income or bold and unusual ideas about how to get a different job. Don’t be afraid to act on your hunches; you’re very intuitive.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re direct, casual and down-toearth; yet, you’re also very precise, passionately committed and ever the perfectionist. Interesting combo! You’re very organized, and you also understand how to implement systems to organize others. People invariably sense your power (which is certainly there). An important decision will arise for you in the coming year. Choose wisely. Birthdate of: Kaka (Ricardo Santos Leite), soccer player; Jack Nicholson, actor; Sherri Shepherd, TV host. For Monday, April 23, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You have lots of energy today. Your ambition, competitiveness and sense of gusto might actually boost your income in some way. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You will put out lots of energy at home today, moving furniture around or rearranging things. This is because you want to accomplish certain things, and you’re just going to do it. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You will be very effective in all your communications with others today. That’s why this is a wonderful day for those of you who sell, market, teach, act, promote or drive for a living.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your energy is so powerful in dealing with groups that others will jump on your bandwagon. This is the day to rally the troops! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’re very ambitious today in terms of wanting to do a great job, please the head honcho as well as boost your income. In fact, your ambition will accomplish this for sure! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You will vigorously defend your ideas and beliefs today, especially in the media or an educational setting. You feel confident, and you won’t back down. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’ll get the upper hand in deals about shared property, taxes, debt or disputes about inheritances. You have energy to use for your own good. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Discussions with partners and close friends will be lively. Others have strong opinions today, but so do you! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You can accomplish a lot at work today, because you have the energy, motivation and endurance to do so. You also might be competing with someone. (This could light a fire under you.)

SATURDAY’S CROSSWORD

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a highly creative day for you. It’s also a strong and powerful day for those of you involved in sports. Even romance will be sizzling hot. (Oh my.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Family discussions will be lively today and perhaps competitive. Everyone is going to put in their two cents, that’s for sure. (Make sure you listen to everyone.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You’re unusually convincing today, which is why you will get the upper hand in any disagreements with others. Your sense of focus and inner confidence will win the day. YOU BORN TODAY You know how to use words and the power of communication to influence others and, in fact, change their behavior. You work well with others, and many of you gravitate to the arts. If you find your field early in life, you tend to stay with it. In the coming year, you will construct something through hard work, and your rewards soon will follow. Birthdate of: Michael Moore, film-maker; William Shakespeare, poet/playwright; Valerie Bertinelli, actress. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.
