The government's six-figure incentive to bring more childcare workers to the table is a start, says a local 30-year childcare vet-eran.

But $1 million in bur-saries for early childhood educator (ECE) training does not address the rea-son there's too few qualified ECEs across the province.

“It's because people are not really going into early childhood education because of the wages,” says Lynn Proulx, from East Trail's Sunshine Children's Centre. “There's such a shortage not just here in Trail, but everywhere. Wages are a big deal because that is what attracts people to come into the field - but a young person can go into almost anything else for a better wage.”

According to PayScale.com, an online resource for individual salary pro-files, the average pay for an ECE in Canada is $14.82 per hour. Most people in the job move onto other positions after 20 years in the field, and pay does not change much based on experience, cites the website.

Service Canada reflects that data under its job description for ECEs and assistants, noting jobs in the occupation can be paid at minimum wage rates.

Ninety-six per cent of those jobs are filled by women ages 25-44, and are full time in a child daycare-service with a typical annual salary ranging from $20,000 to $30,000.

“I've been in the field coming up 33 years,” said Proulx. “And the wage has basically stayed the same, and not gone along with the

living wage. It's a really dif-ficult situation.”

Proulx's view is support-ed by a recent gender-based study of Lower Columbia communities that found one third of the local female labour force works in a low wage occupation, meaning annual earning of less than $24,000 a year.

That number doesn't near the area's living wage standard, which is $18.15 per hour for a 35-hour work week in a two-parent-two-child family, according to the Women Creating Change study.

Regardless of the low wage, Proulx says there are people who have a passion for working with children, and she encourages those to follow their heart.

“That's why I stay here,” she continued. “There are children in our community who require good quality care and get a good strong start before they go to kin-dergarten. And if it is your passion, then you'll make your way around.”

Recognizing the prov-ince-wide need for quali-fied educators, on March 27 the Ministry of Children and Family Development announced a $1 million bursary fund for students enrolled in early childhood education programs.

The ECE Student Bursary program was established one year ago by the Early Childhood Educators of BC (professional association for early childhood practitio-ners) with a $513,000 pro-vincial investment.

Double the funds is good news for Taya Whitehead's students enrolled in the Selkirk College Early Childhood Care & Education (ECCE) program.

The “on” switch has been flipped well ahead of schedule at the Waneta Dam expansion site.

After over four years under construc-tion and over $900 million invested, the dam expansion wasn't expected to fully oper-ational until mid-May, but officials say because of proper plan-ning and very few time-lost events, the project is up and running.

“The eighth largest infrastructure project in British Columbia, the Waneta Expansion Project was complet-ed six weeks ahead of schedule and on budget while maintaining an excellent safety and environmental record,” read a press release on Thursday. “With over 3 million person hours logged there were only two minor lost-time incidents and no major environmental inci-dents or concerns.”

Back in January, Columbia Power offi-cials said construc-tion to expand on the already-running Waneta Dam was run-ning right on sched-ule with the add-on of a second power house down river. Crews then installed two Francis turbines that can pro-duce 335 megawatts of power.

Now that the addi-tion is complete, the site is providing power to around 60,000 homes through a

Sunny skies during the first two weeks of March led to four new daily highs and the mild-est March on record since local weather tracking began 50 years ago.

This year’s El Niño phenomenon ushered in unseasonably warm conditions and set record daily maximums of 17 C, 19 C, 20.1 C, and 17 C on March 8 through March 11 respectively, according to the Castlegar weather service’s month-end report.

Those temperatures upped March’s daily aver-age temperature to 6.8 C, from the normal 4.4 C.

The previous mildest March was 1992.The warm and dry days had municipalities

sweeping winter grit away earlier than usual, but forced Red Mountain Resort and other B.C. ski hills to reduce operations.

That’s because from Feb. 13 to March 13, only 0.2 millimetres (mm) of rain was recorded in the area. By the night of March 13, a pacific system hit the West Kootenay region and ended the drought with heavy precipitation.

Ten centimetres of wet snow and 20 mm of rain drenched the valleys by March 15, though snow largely melted on contact in the low lying areas. That led to overall precipitation being slightly higher, 83 mm, than the typical 63 mm.

FROM PAGE 110-kilometre transmission line, end-ing up at BC Hydro’s Selkirk Power Station near Fruitvale. After that, power gets distributed throughout the existing grid.

But who is going to benefit financial-ly from the completion of the project?

According to the press release, both BC Hydro and FortisBC have long-term contracts to purchase the power pro-duced by the new turbines, but Fortis owns a bit more, allowing them to pro-

duce on-demand power. Fortis also owns 51 per cent of the

facility, with Columbia Power and the Columbia Basin Trust owning the other 49 per cent.

The local economy benefitted finan-cially during the four-and-a-half-year project with 1,400 tradespeople hired to work onsite, 70 per cent of which were considered local – living within 100 km of the construction site.

From start to finish, Columbia Power Corporation says that over $300

million was “injected” into the economy through services, goods and wages, but now that most of the construction work is finished, the site will be nearly empty most of the time.

Audrey Repin, director of stake-holder and external relations with the Columbia Power Corporation, says there will be a skeleton, probably part-time, crew at the dam during regu-lar operations, with the exception of emergencies, maintenance or special circumstances.

FROM PAGE 1“It is excellent the Ministry

of Children and Family Development is recogniz-ing the need for additional child care spaces in B.C.,” said Whitehead, an instruc-tor in the ECCE program. “Currently, there are only licenced spaces for approxi-mately 20 per cent of B.C.’s children.”

Under its BC Early Years strategy, two years ago the province committed to cre-ating 13,000 new child care spaces over eight years, she explained.

“This fills a significant gap for B.C. families,” Whitehead noted. “However, in order to create these spaces we need early childhood educators.”

Proulx offers well-sea-soned advice to current ECE students, 14 whom are enrolled in Selkirk College’s Early Childhood Care & Education Program at the Castlegar campus.

“Be an advocate for the field,” she said. “Show how important you are in our community. The develop-ment of a child is the most important thing here, and most people don’t even know what we do.”

Job titles and exact duties vary in the occupation and range from early childhood educator, pre-school teacher, day-care worker and child-care worker.

Days at Sunshine Children’s Centre are struc-

tured, and require one work-er for every child infant-to-three; and at minimum, one ECE for every eight four-and five-year olds.

After workers ensure each child isn’t hungry, age-specific play and “circles” with learning outcomes focused on art, science and math ensue. Healthy snack time is followed by activi-ties that incorporate skills like memory and counting through music and dance, before a half hour of outside play encourages gross motor development.

“Lunch is my favourite time of day because we find nowadays we aren’t sure how much family time at the table kids have,” she explained. “So

we have them sit and social-ize with the people around them. Many, many stories come out, because when they tell us so much, they are also learning language and speech vocabulary. And manners are really important for us.”

Setting aside $1 million to cover students taking an ECE program is wonderful, says Proulx, but the government should be looking towards a universal childcare system.

“Where everyone can afford child care with a focus on zero to six, because we know that’s when the brain develops and you will catch kids who may need more sup-port. For us, the government really hasn’t recognized that yet.”

A Sunday morning explosion at Greenhills mine near Elkford sent three to hospital with burns.

According to David Haslam, Communications Coordinator with the Ministry of Energy and Mines, the explosion happened in the coal drying operation of the mine.

The employees were not believed to be inside at the time, but were located outside of the room at the time of the blast.

Haslam described the incident as a “flash fire.”Spokesperson for B.C. Ambulance Libby

Brown said the three injured, two men and one woman, were initially being treated for second- and third-degree burns.

One of the injured was sent to Fernie Hospital for treatment and at least one of the others has been transferred to Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary.

Haslam said that Chief Inspector of Mines Al Hoffman is currently investigating the incident.

“He and two other mine inspectors are on route to the mine site,” said Haslam. “We will provide more information as it becomes avail-able.”

Teck has made a statement that no major impact to the operation has been made due to the flash fire.

The cause of the explosion is not yet known.

Blue bird days on the ski slopes and exped-itions to rivers froth-ing with spawning sal-mon could be among the quintessential British Columbia pas-times that vanish in the next century if the province’s glaciers maintain their melt.

Results of a 3D computer simulation reveal in more detail than ever before the magnitude of glacial thawing due to cli-mate change. The study was published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience.

It confirms and goes one step further than previous projec-tions on glacial melt, holding up a magnify-ing glass to specific

geography in Western Canada and spurs scientific theorizing about potential local-ized impacts.

Researchers antici-pate that by 2100, disappearing glaciers may alter how much water is delivered to salmon-spawn-ing beds in the B.C. Interior, and similar-ly dry up corporate visions of future ski resorts, said study co-author Garry Clarke.

A near total loss of glacial ice is expected to be concentrated in the Rocky Mountains, said Clarke, profes-sor emeritus with the University of British Columbia.

“People driving into Banff or Jasper parks will be hard pressed to see glaciers

in the landscape by the time this is played out,” he said.

Similar disappear-ance rates are expected in B.C.’s southeastern Columbia Mountains. But the southern coast mountains may fare better than previ-ously expected, most-ly sparing the vis-ually stunning Mount Garibaldi, north of Squamish, B.C.

Ice caps in B.C.’s northwest, close to the Alaska and Yukon borders, should also survive.

Researchers spent nearly a decade cod-ing and embedding influential factors into the simulation, amounting to high-resolution represen-tations of the glacial degradation in B.C.

and Alberta over the years, said Clarke.

While the entire region currently sus-tains 3,000 cubic kilo-metres of ice, that’s projected to degrade between 60 to 80 per cent using the simu-lation, which charts four possible courses based on standard future climate change scenarios.

The study projects the maximum rate of ice volume retreat to occur between 2020 and 2040.

Earlier forecasts using less sophisticat-ed calculus predicted the glacial mass loss would be lower.

“This is not a triv-ial amount,” Clarke said. “This is in the world-league in terms of how many glaciers

we have in our moun-tains and what the losses will be.”

He said the big unknown is human behaviour - how rapidly the glaciers flow eternally into the ocean depends on carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas addi-tions to the atmos-phere.

It’s a “one-way trip” if melt rates worsen or even continue along the current trajec-tory, he said. But the simulator also showed unexpectedly positive outcomes where some glaciers could outlast the prediction if cli-mate change stabil-izes, he added.

“I thought that we might not even have a possibility of a good result, even

if we behaved really nicely,” he said. “But this suggests there is a reward for good behaviour.”

Digital pictures of the models at incre-ments from 2010 to 2100 look exactly as if photographed from satellites, but are truer to life because they simulate the physics of ice flow, said Clarke.

The novel simula-tor is more sophis-ticated than other calculators, using technological prowess similar to flight simu-lation or car racing programs, he said.

“You’ve got the physics that describes what’s going on. You try to put as much as you can in there. And if you’ve done a good

job, it resembles the system you’re trying to emulate,” Clarke said.

The team includ-ed factors such as the strength of the Earth’s gravity field, the melting tem-perature of ice, and accounted for precipi-tation falling as snow or rain depending on elevation.

But Clarke noted that in some ways, the melt isn’t as dire in Canada because the glacial water doesn’t sustain huge popula-tions.

He’s hoping the simulator will be adopted by glacier experts in Asia and South America, where people’s livelihoods depend on access to water.

Skiing, salmon spawning may be casualties of glacial melt: report

Saanich

B y S T E P H E N H E y w o o DPeninsula News Review

The NHL is coming to the Saanich Peninsula next season.

Panorama Recreation Centre’s Arena B in North Saanich erupted in cheers and shouts as the announcement was made Saturday afternoon that the rink was the top vote-getter in the final round of the Kraft Hockeyville competi-tion. Their 1.1 million votes put Panorama over the top — not only to take home $100,000 for arena improvements, but to host an NHL preseason game. Panorama defeated Chatham, Ontario for Hockeyville’s premier award.

The announced match will be between the Vancouver Canucks and the San Jose Sharks, featuring Peninsula hockey product Matt Irwin.

Jason Fletcher, who initially nominated Panorama in the Kraft Hockeyville challenge, says he was thrilled that the rink won and he quickly credited the community and the scores of volunteers who made it all happen.

“We were half a million votes better,” he says. “Hats off to all of the volunteers. I may have started the ball rolling but this went a lot bigger than just me.”

Fletcher was celebrating his birthday Saturday and says the Hockeyville win certainly was a topper.

He says the effort and all of the votes shows that hockey is ingrained in everyone’s spirit in Canada.

“It doesn’t have to be 30 degrees below zero or covered in snow,” Fletcher says, indicating Vancouver Island’s typ-ically balmy winter weather. “This will be great for the kids to see their heroes play hockey on the Saanich Peninsula.”

Tuition will be climbing to help Okanagan College balance the books.

The $94 million, 2015 budget calls for a two per cent hike in tuition fees.

“We have passed a balanced operating budget that allows us to continue to provide programs and servi-

ces throughout the region, without any service reductions or layoffs,” said Tom Styffe, board chair-person.

For a full-time student taking uni-versity transfer arts, the increase will add about $32.67 per semester, bringing a semester’s tuition to $1,666.11. For a stu-dent taking the office assistant program, the increase will add about $42.82 for the program (total tuition of $2,183.79). A level one auto service tech-nician apprentice will see tuition increase by about $14.50 to $739.63.

The Vernon Students Association admits it’s concerned about the college con-tinually applying the annual two per cent increase to tuition, the maximum allow-able by legislation.

“With each tuition increase, the difficulty of maintaining access-ibility to post-second-ary for students is compounded,” said Eric Reist, VSA gen-eral manager.

“We contend that public education needs to be adequate-ly funded, and that the province needs to realign itself with the values held by the majority of British Columbians.”

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Suspended senator Mike

Duffy may be the one on trial, but he won’t be only person to see their motives, character and actions dissected, examined and critiqued over the next several weeks inside an Ottawa courtroom.

Beginning Tuesday, Crown lawyers will lay out their fraud, breach of trust and brib-ery case against the former Conservative - 31 charges in total.

But so too will begin attorney Donald Bayne’s defence of Duffy, a counter-attack that will likely focus in part on the behaviour of key figures from the Prime Minister’s Office and party circles.

The expected release of new documents and internal emails in the form of court exhibits has the capacity to breathe new life into the political scandal that con-sumed the House of Commons two years ago.

A crush of media interest in the trial has prompted officials to establish an overflow room at the downtown Ottawa courthouse where several camera angles are displayed on large screens in order to accommodate journalists.

Bayne has already given a public pre-view of sorts of how he plans to approach the allegations. Back in October 2013,

Bayne held an animated press conference to respond to the looming suspension of his client from the upper chamber. Charges were laid in July 2014.

“You’ve seen a little of Sen. Duffy’s evi-dence and side of the story,” Bayne said at the time.

“It’s simply the tip of the iceberg, if he ever had a proper hearing and an oppor-tunity to advance this evidence. That’s why we have trials.”

That spring, news broke that the prime minister’s chief of staff, Nigel Wright, had secretly paid for Duffy’s $90,000 in contested living expenses. Duffy had sub-mitted claims for a secondary residence in the Ottawa area, even though an audit said he spent approximately 30 per cent of his time at the designated primary residence in P.E.I..

Police allege Duffy was the one set-ting conditions and making demands in exchange for resolving the expenses con-troversy - hence the bribery charge. An email dated Feb. 13, 2013, in which Duffy’s previous lawyer outlined a number of scenarios and conditions, is a central docu-ment. Bayne and Duffy have alleged it’s the other way around.

“The payment of $90,000 was not the doing of Sen. Duffy,” Bayne said in 2013.

“It was a political tactic forced on him by the Prime Minister’s Office.”

That concept - a political tactic orches-trated by Stephen Harper’s underlings - is something Justice Charles Vaillancourt is likely to hear a lot about.

Wright’s lawyers told police during an interview in June 2013 that he believed covering Duffy’s expenses “was the proper ethical decision that taxpayers not be out that amount of money,” according to the RCMP’s court filing.

“He did not view it as something out of the norm for him to do, and was part of being a good person,” the police said of a later interview with Wright.

Wright’s friends have praised him as someone of impeccable ethics, guilty only perhaps of an uncharacteristic lapse in judgment.

But other emails back and forth between Wright and Duffy, and between Wright and other Conservative staffers, could be framed to suggest that it was politics, not morality, that motivated Wright and others.

In emails, Wright called the brewing controversy “our public agony,” and spoke of Conservatives “circling the wagons.”

One of the most revealing sets of inter-nal emails filed in court involved the

manipulation of a Senate committee, one drafting a report on Duffy’s expenses in the spring of 2013.

PMO staffers set about ensuring the committee remove any negative language from the report on Duffy, and at one point discussed how to get an independent audit firm to refrain from drawing any conclu-sions on Duffy’s residency status.

As the RCMP put it, there was a “moment of impasse” when a staff mem-ber in then-government Senate Leader Marjory LeBreton’s office balked at the PMO’s interference.

“Do I need to call Marjory?” Wright asked in an email. “They think they are hurting Duffy, but they will end up hurting the prime minister instead.”

Duffy was also coached by PMO staff on what to say to the media about the repay-ment of his expenses.

“It’s a scenario, in Nigel Wright’s own words, that was created for Sen. Duffy not because he had anything to hide or he’d made inappropriate claims, but because the PMO had decided they wanted to sweep a political embarrassment to their Tory base under the rug,” Bayne said in 2013.

The trial is scheduled to take place between April 7 and May 12, and from June 1-19.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SST. JOHN’S, N.L.

- Premier Paul Davis of Newfoundland and Labrador says his staff told police about tweets that prompted an investigation into a perceived threat during which a man was shot dead.

Davis says he wasn’t aware about the tweets until he heard about the death of Don Dunphy, who was fatally shot by an officer with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary on Sunday.

“I was shocked, deeply saddened yes-

terday to learn of the events that had taken place,” Davis told a news conference Monday.

“This is a terrible tragedy for so many reasons. My thoughts and prayers are with the Dunphy family, with the people of Mount Carmel in the area where this took place and with those that have been impacted by this very tragic event.”

Chief William Janes of the Royal N e w f o u n d l a n d Constabulary said the officer involved was a member of its

protective services unit, which provides security and ongoing threat and risk assess-ments for the premier and elected officials.

Janes said the offi-cer was working a regularly scheduled shift Sunday when he went to the home of Dunphy in Mitchells Brook, about 80 kilo-metres southwest of St. John’s, as part of an investigation.

Janes said he wasn’t aware of the officer having any partner or backup when he went inside the home at about 2:30 p.m.

Manitoba

Nickel miners safely back at surfaceT H E C A N A D I A N P R E S S

THOMPSON, Man. - A company spokesman says all of the miners who were forced to seek safety in underground refuge areas after a fire broke out at a northern Manitoba nickel mine have safely returned to the surface.

Vale, which operates the mine in Thompson, says the last eight miners who were waiting for rescue were brought out of the mine Monday

afternoon. The company says the fire broke out Sunday in a piece of remotely operated machin-ery about 850 metres underground.

Thirty-nine workers in the mine moved to the refuge stations, and workers in another mine that is connected by a tunnel also took refuge as a precaution. Ryan Land, of Vale, says the refuge areas have sealed doors and their own air supply.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SWEST COVEHEAD,

P.E.I. — Voters in Prince Edward Island are going to the polls on May 4.

Premier Wade M a c L a u c h l a n announced the elec-tion date at his nom-ination meeting Monday night, leading the Liberal party into an election less than two months since tak-ing office when Robert Ghiz stepped down.

This will also be the first elec-tion for Progressive Conservative Leader Rob Lantz, who won

his party’s leadership at the end of February.

The Liberals could have waited until next April to call an election but MacLauchlan has chosen to seek a fresh mandate rather than

seek a legislature seat through a byelection.

The 60-year-old for-mer president of the University of Prince Edward Island was the only candidate for the Liberal leadership.

OPINION

B.C.’s labour market goes globalThe labour situation

in B.C. is showing increased signs of strain, even before

a long-promised boom in heavy construction gets set to ramp up this sum-mer.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond announced last week that B.C. is suspending its “provincial nomination” program for 90 days. This program allows the prov-ince to recommend people for federal immigration, based on skills in demand in B.C.

The B.C. provincial nomination program saw its number of applica-tions triple to 1,200 for the month of December, as the federal government cracked down on the tem-porary foreign worker program. Thousands of temporary foreign work-ers who have hit the four-year deadline are being sent home, with many of them turning to the prov-incial nomination track.

Bond has been pleading with Ottawa to raise B.C.’s annual provincial nomin-ation quota from 5,000 to 7,000 or more. The three-month pause is so her ministry can add staff and speed up processing time. Backlogged applicants will still be considered, and exemptions for health care workers and a north-east pilot program are being maintained.

Even with the current slump in energy prices and before anticipated pipeline and liquefied natural gas projects start, the labour shortage in the northeast is near crisis.

The last time I was in Dawson Creek, radio ads were offering sign-ing bonuses for qualified truck drivers. In Fort St. John, grocery and hard-ware retailers have come to depend on foreign workers to keep going.

While supposedly edu-cated young people work part-time and refuse to

leave the comforts of southern city life, this is the reality up north, and it’s only going to get worse.

This summer, work is scheduled to start on the Site C dam on the Peace River, the most costly construction project in B.C. history. And a union vs. non-union battle rem-iniscent of the old Expo 86 labour wars is underway.

The B.C. and Yukon Building Trades (BCYT) are demanding a project agreement that requires all workers on Site C to be

paid their rates, and are warning of chaos on the huge project if they don’t get their way.

BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald told me that’s not all they want. They are also seeking quotas for members of their unions on a project that will be a small city of 1,700 people at peak construction.

BCYT executive dir-ector Tom Sigurdson says that while all sides acknowledge the need for foreign workers for Site C, he wants to control that too, working with their affiliated unions in the United States.

There will be non-union construction firms, some of them owned by aboriginal communities in the north. There will be contractors affiliated with the Christian Labour Association of Canada. The BCYT hopes to set wages and conditions for them all, and influence Ottawa’s temporary foreign worker

program to boot.McDonald and Premier

Christy Clark have polite-ly told them to pound sand. Their formula would add millions in costs to the project, driving up BC Hydro rates even more than they are already ris-ing. BC Hydro has already done dam upgrade pro-jects using a “managed open site” model and it’s not inclined to return to the era of W.A.C. Bennett as Sigurdson demands.

Sigurdson makes a valid point that when two concrete masons compare paycheques on the Site C project and one sees he’s making $5 an hour less, he won’t be happy. He will want the higher rate, and the BCYT is tak-ing BC Hydro to court to ensure they can recruit new members on the site.

It looks like a hot sum-mer ahead.

From the Trail Creek News in 1895 to the Trail Times in 2015, the venerable local newspaper and its staff (from the left; Liz Bevan, Shannon McIlmoyle,

Sheri Regnier, Jeanine Margoreeth, Kevin Macintyre, Dave Dykstra, Jim Bailey, Michelle Bedford, Lonnie Hart and Guy Bertrand) are celebrating its 120th

anniversary in 2015.

Newspaper grows from humble beginnings in 1895B Y S H E R I R E G N I E R

Times Staff

The source of prosperity of the

Trail Creek county is, of course, its

magnificent ore bodies, according

the first edition of the Trail Creek

News. “Our interests at present

lie centred in and about the noble

structure that is rising foot by foot

on the brow of the hill overhanging

the beautiful town of Trail and of

its growth and magnitude we now

write,” noted the paper's writer and

editor W.F. Thompson on the inau-

gural front page.

The day was Saturday, Oct. 19,

1895 when Volume No. 1 of The

Trail Creek News was hot off the

presses. Under the headline, “This Means

You! When You Patronize the News

You Help Trail Grow,” Thompson

writes that it is now in order for

every citizen of Trail to subscribe

for the home newspaper, The Trail

Creek News, and “the times are

right for such a movement, the

price is right and if the News of

today is not all right, we will make

it right in future issues.”

The price was said to be “cheap”

at $2 per year, and the News office

would be found open all day long

and far into the night, and future

readers were expected to hand in

their subscription at once, so they

would not miss one issue of the

Trail newspaper. “If you want the

news, you must read the News,”

Thompson proclaimed almost 12

decades ago.While there's no silver or gold

commemoration for more than a

century of news reporting, the Trail

Times staff decided an honorary pat

on the back is deserving to all the

people who have typed, pressed,

written, delivered, or simply read

their way into the 120-year history

of the Silver City's only surviving

newspaper.Over the course of the year, we

will actively seek stories from peo-

ple in the Greater Trail commu-

nity such as long time subscribers,

past paper carriers and retired office

workers, who have memories to

share about how the Trail Times has

impacted their lives.See EARLY, Page 3

There is a quiet but important scandal brew-ing in our universities. The symptoms of this

scandal burst out occasionally, most recently at the University of Western Ontario, where the symptom is the $1 million a year compensation package paid to its President.

In Alberta, the symptom is Ministerial statements about the purpose of universities and the need to “rationalize” pro-gramming to reduce duplication and to focus more on programs that produce economic bene-fits. In Britain, it is the uncon-trolled growth of highly-paid neo-liberal adminis-trators who seek to “economitize e v e r y t h i n g ” , leading Warwick University to “outsource” to a third party the bulk of its under-graduate teaching. Similar developments are occurring in New Zealand, Australia and the Netherlands.

Let’s go back a step and ask the simple question, pon-dered by Cardinal John Henry Newman in the 1850’s but more recently by the University of Cambridge’s Stefan Collini: what are universities for? What is their purpose?

They exist, according to most who study higher education, as places for the pursuit of under-standing, knowledge and mean-ing.

In science, following Philosopher Karl Popper, we used to refer to the pursuit of “truth”, but we now recog-nize that truth is elusive and only occasionally evident: more often, we are seeking to under-stand and explain within the limits of current knowledge and tools. This is the work of uni-versities, whether in relation to neuroplasticity or Shakespeare, Keats or biomedical ethics.

Now look at what is happen-ing. As governments system-atically reduce their financial investments in universities and

place the burden firmly on the capital markets to fund stu-dent debt-loads, they become increasingly under pressure from business to produce out-comes. Capitalism, therefore, begins to determine content, process and practice,

In the neo-liberal view of the universities, universities are “knowledge factories” where “innovation” is born and the opportunity for commercializa-tion begins; they are engines of diversification and the new

economy. They are also seen as “skills factories” which produce the next gener-ation of skilled and intelligent labour, which is why (despite evidence show-ing that this is a mistake as American jour-nalist Fareed Zakaria points

out in his new book In Defense of Liberal Education), the STEM subjects receive so much atten-tion and research investments, despite the growing demand from business for critical think-ers, creative and imaginative team players with knowledge and experience of design and systems thinking.

Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, was not a STEM student – he was deeply inter-ested in Greek and was pursu-ing a psychology major when he dropped out.

So, to manage these fac-tories, faculty are sacrificed to the gods of managerialism. The growth of administration in universities over the last 20 years is remarkable, as is the widespread adoption of targets and performance management for teaching, research and grant raising.

These non-profit organiza-tions are increasingly mimick-ing for-profit organizations and seeking to outdo them in their focus on the bottom line.

Britain is perhaps the worst case. Professors are hired to boost the citations count for the research funding reviews and,

once the reviews are completed, these professors are dismissed as surplus to requirements (Thatcher abolished tenure years ago). “Brand” is the thing, not brains.

Governments don’t under-stand universities: they see them as part of the economic system, rather than as a har-bour of safety for demand-ing thinkers and scientists in a growingly complex society. Rather than encouraging the pursuit of understanding and evidence-based reasoning, uni-versities are being urged to be politically correct and largely silent on major social issues like inequality, poverty, non-sense government policy and social issues.

In the new culture of intoler-ance of dissent, many profes-sors are being required to sign “gag” orders which insist that they are silent on issues such as climate change, bioethics, biodiversity, First Nations’ rights or other matters which challenge “government think”. Indeed, many contracts of employment for those hired to teach or undertake research in UK, Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands now contain clauses which demand such compliance. In Canada, faculty members who hold views con-trary to those of the majority have often been silenced.

We are losing the focus and character of our institutions in the name of compliance, cor-rectness and cash. We need them back. We need them now more than ever. It is time for students, staff and others in society to get behind those who dissent from the current neo-liberal view of our universities and start a movement dedicated to returning the public good role of universities to the pub-lic.

The developments at Western provide one lit fuse. Warwick’s decision to outsource signifi-cant amounts of its teaching must be another. Can we light some more?

t h e C a n a d I a n p r e S SOTTAWA - The sting of lower

oil prices has reduced the con-fidence of companies when it comes to future sales growth, investment and hiring, the Bank of Canada says in its latest business outlook.

The central bank’s quarterly sampling of 100 representative businesses, released Monday, suggested that a drop in crude oil prices since November has

even eroded sales expectations beyond the energy sector, such as those down the supply chain.

“More businesses than in previous surveys anticipate an outright decline in sales vol-umes,” the document said.

The survey, conducted between Feb. 17 and March 12, also found dimmer expecta-tions about future investments in machinery and equipment for the coming year, particular-

ly in the goods sector and those hit hard by lower oil prices.

Expectations were higher in the previous report, based on a survey between Nov. 17 and Dec. 11, near the beginning of a sudden, deep decline in oil prices that is expected to persist for an extended period.

The influential question-naire also found the outlook for hiring had diminished to its lowest level since 2009.

November 28, 1919—April 2, 2015It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Audrey Urquhart. She was, for most of her long life, the strength and bonding element of her extended family.Audrey was predeceased by her husband Jim Urquhart in 1993, her daughter Ann in 2014 and infant son. She is survived by her son-in-law Lloyd Skiboff, son John (Dianne), daughter Margie (Bob), former son-in-law Geoff Walker and son Jim (Judy), grandchildren Susan Rodgers-Slade, Todd Rodgers, Cristine Urquhart, John Urquhart, Peter Charlie-Walker, Heather Walker, Geoffrey Walker, Daniel Urquhart, David Urquhart, ten great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren as well as many nieces and nephews. Audrey was born into a large family in Newcastle, New Brunswick and, after fi nishing high school there, went to Jeffery Hale Hospital in Quebec to train as a registered nurse. Upon graduation, she joined the war effort and went overseas to England where she was a lieutenant nursing sister in Basingstoke plastic surgery hospital. Before the war was over, her young brother was killed, his plane shot down over Holland.After the war, Audrey moved across the country to Rossland where she met Jim and raised a family. Audrey worked as a nurse for 30 years in the Trail Regional Hospital, many of those years on the maternity ward, then the last ten years as the head nurse on extended care.Audrey took a break from nursing for ten years to help her husband in his meat market business. When she retired from nursing at age 65 she was active advocating for seniors, and was instrumental in bringing the medical alert system to Trail. She was a recipient of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal. Audrey’s busy life also included travel, involvement with her church and going with her husband and family and their horses to horse races. In her younger days, she rode her horse (Misty) in the Trail Horsemen’s Society’s musical ride. Mom was in a choir, she played the piano, sewed clothes and just about anything she put her mind to.Audrey will be forever missed, as she touched so many lives in a positive way. The family asks that, in lieu of fl owers, people do a random act of kindness in her memory.A Memorial Service will be held at the Trail United Church, Thursday, April 9, 2015 at 11:00am. Jordan

ElmEr lach

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SMONTREAL - Elmer Lach was

more than just the centre who fed passes to Maurice (Rocket) Richard on the Montreal Canadiens famous Punch Line.

The Nokomis, Sask., native, who died at age 97 in Montreal on Saturday, could skate and score well enough to be called Elegant Elmer and had a battling nature that made him an invaluable player for the 1940s Canadiens.

“They used to call him Elegant Elmer but he wasn’t very elegant,” said broadcaster Dick Irvin Jr., whose father Dick Irvin Sr. was Lach’s only coach through this 14-year NHL career from 1940 to 1954. “He was a tough little guy.

“But he was a wonderful play-maker. He knew what to do with the puck.”

Before his death, Lach was the oldest surviving NHL player, 42 days older than a former rival with the Boston Bruins, Milt Schmidt. Irvin Jr. compared Lach’s combination of grit and skill to the now 89-year-old (Terrible) Ted Lindsay.

Lach retired as the league’s all-time leader in points with 623, which is a far cry from the current record of 2,857 by Wayne Gretzky but was accomplished in an era of 50-game seasons in a super-com-petitive six-team league.

The Punch Line with Toe Blake on left wing and Richard on the right terrorized opposing goalies for four years until Blake’s retirement

in 1948.It started in 1944-45 when

Richard became the NHL’s first 50-goal scorer and the linemates finished first, second and third in the scoring race. Lach had 54 assists and a league-leading 80 points and won the Hart Trophy that season.

It was not until his second scor-ing title that he became the first recipient of the Art Ross Trophy, which was inaugurated in the 1947-48 campaign. Lach won Stanley Cups in 1944, 1946 and 1953.

And he did it the hard way.While he amassed 215 goals in

664 NHL games, Lach missed 150 games with a staggering number of injuries. He broke his nose seven times and broke his jaw twice in the same season. He missed almost all of his sophomore season with a broken elbow, had a fractured skull and broke nearly every other bone somewhere along the way.

One broken nose came when Richard jumped up to hug him after Lach scored the winning goal in overtime against Boston to clinch the 1953 Stanley Cup.

After Lach passed Bill Cowley of Boston’s 594 points to become all-time scoring leader in 1952, a centre-ice tribute was held at the Forum at which he got $11,000 in cash and gifts that included a TV, a fridge, a freezer, a chair and a row-boat. Teammates pooled money and gave him a washing machine.

Lach entered the Hall of Fame in 1966.

A sure sign of the change of seasons is underway at the Cominco Arena as the ice from a busy hockey schedule slowly melts away. While the ice melt usually means summer is just around the corner, in roughly four months, the ice age will return in time for hockey camp at the beginning of August. Staff at the arena will avoid another big job, removing the glass around the rink, which is usually done prior to the Bull-a-Rama. However, that event has been cancelled this year.

LAST REFLECTIONS OF HOCKEY SEASON

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SNEW YORK - Despite high-profile sign-

ings during the off-season, there was one fewer Cuban-born player on opening-day rosters this year than in 2014.

There were 18 Cubans on major league rosters Sunday, according to the commis-sioner’s office. The Cuban players who signed the most-lucrative contracts both began the season in the minors: Boston outfielder Rusney Castillo ($72.5 million for seven years) was sent to Pawtucket and Arizona outfielder Yasmany Tomas ($68.5 million for six seasons) to Reno.

Major League Baseball said 230 of 868 players on opening-day rosters, disabled lists and the restricted list were born outside the 50 states, with the percentage rising to 26.5 from 26.3 per cent.

Players were born in 17 countries and territories outside the 50 states, the most since 2001.

The Dominican Republic has topped

the list each year since MLB began track-ing the numbers in 2005. There are 83 Dominican players, one more than last year but down from a high of 99 in 2007. Every team except Washington had a Dominican-born player on its opening-day roster.

Venezuela was next with 65, six more than last year. Puerto Rico had 13, fol-lowed by Canada, Japan and Mexico (nine), Colombia, Curacao and Panama (four), South Korea (three), Australia, Brazil, Nicaragua (two); and Aruba, Netherlands and Taiwan (one).

Kansas City catcher Paulo Orlando became the second Brazilian on an open-ing-day roster.

Texas has the most players born outside the 50 states with 15, trailed by Toronto (12), and Boston and Detroit (11 each).

Oakland had the fewest with two: Dominican pitcher Fernando Abad and Canadian third baseman Brett Lawrie.

Despite high-profile signings, Cuban major leaguers dip slightly

Blue Jays spoil A-Rod’s returnT H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SNEW YORK - The

Toronto Blue Jays gave Canadian catcher Russell Martin the second-largest contract in franchise history to help bolster a potent lineup and give the young pitching staff a steady guide.

One game into the new season, the deal is looking pretty good for the team with the longest playoff drought in baseball.

Martin singled in two runs and Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run homer off Masahiro Tanaka as the Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 6-1 Monday in Alex Rodriguez’s return to the major leagues.

Without retired Derek Jeter in the lineup, a restless opening-day

crowd at Yankee Stadium reserved one of its only cheers for Rodriguez in his first game back from a year-long drug suspen-sion. Batting seventh, his lowest spot in a regular-season game since he bat-ted eighth in 1996, A-Rod singled, walked, and lined out.

“I have to admit, it def-initely felt good. That’s for sure,” Rodriguez said after New York’s fourth straight opening day loss.

Drew Hutchison, at 24 the youngest opening-day starter in Blue Jays’ his-tory, held the Yankees hit-less until the fourth.

Hutchison (1-0) allowed three hits, includ-ing Brett Gardner’s homer in the sixth inning, to help Toronto improve to 20-19 in openers, including 1-2

vs. the Yankees.“I was extremely excit-

ed,” Hutchison said. “It was a big day, overall.”

Last July, Hutchison helped the Blue Jays snap another skid against New York: a 17-game losing streak in the Bronx.

Now, he hopes to help Toronto return to the postsesaon for first time since winning the World Series in 1993.

Martin, an ex-Yan-kee from Chelsea, Que., hit a singled in a five-run third inning against Tanaka (0-1). Devon Travis homered later in the game for his first career hit, tak-ing a speedy turn around the bases.

Travis is the first Jay since J.P. Arencebia to homer for his first major-league hit.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SAUGUSTA, Ga. -

Adam Scott showed up at Augusta National on Sunday with a familiar friend - his long putter.

Scott said the Masters is too import-ant for him to keep experimenting with the short putter that he used during the Florida swing with mixed results. The anchored stroke used for the long putter will be outlawed start-ing in 2016, and the Australian appeared to be getting an early start in making the change.

But just not for this week. And probably not in June, July or August for the other

majors.“It just seemed like

the sensible thing to do,” Scott said. “I’m not here to just see what happens. I’m here to get the job done, and the odds are more in my favour of doing that with the longer putter considering I’ve used it the last four years.”

Scott tied for fourth on the fast greens of Doral. He then missed a series of short putts at Innisbrook and missed the cut for the first time in nearly three years on the PGA Tour. His putting was suspect a week later at Bay Hill when a good start turned into a tie for 35th.

Going back to the long putter was hardly a problem, and Scott smiled when asked if it was similar to going back to an old girl-friend.

“Depends on the girlfriend,” said Scott, who got married right after the Masters last year. He didn’t start playing this year until his wife gave birth to their first child in February.

His putts - two of them actually - are part of the lore at Masters. Scott made a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole in 2013 that ultimately got him into a playoff with Angel Cabrera. He then sank a 12-foot birdie putt on the second extra hole to become the first Australian in a green jacket.

He went to No. 1 in the world a year later.

Scott first went to the long putter in 2011, though what gets overlooked is that his overall game improved. He ranked among the top 30 in total driving (distance and accuracy) from 2011 through 2014, compared with only one year in the top 30 dating to 2003.

The putter became a big part of his iden-

tity, however, espe-cially winning the first major. That will have to change in 2016, and Scott appeared to be working toward the change at the start of this year. Scott, how-ever, is at a stage in his career where he is trying to add majors. There are only four a year, starting at Augusta.

“I certainly think I’ll be putting with the longer putter later on this year,” he said. “It’s a process. I’ve got time up my sleeve to change. If you call the last few weeks a bit of an experiment, it’s good to know that I learned things about what I was doing and what I think about and what my principles are in the putting.”

Scott was wearing his green jacket on Sunday to help present trophies to the win-ners of the Drive, Chip and Putt contest in its second year.

Sunday at Augusta National is unlike any other going into a major. Matt Every and Miguel Angel Jimenez shared the putting green with a group of kids ready to take part in the putting competi-tion on the 18th green. Defending champion

Bubba Watson pre-sented trophies to one age group, and then headed out to play a practice round with his wife. Such are the privileges of a Masters champ.

“Hopefully, she doesn’t beat me or I might have to with-draw,” Watson said.

Augusta National member also can play the golf course, which included former Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Lynn Swann.

Two of the head-liners at this Masters - Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy - were not seen. Woods played practice rounds on Tuesday and Friday before decid-ing he would play for the first time in seven weeks. McIlroy, the No. 1 player in the world, needs a Masters victory to complete the career Grand Slam.

Watson doesn’t mind that he isn’t mentioned as much, even with a chance to become only the fourth back-to-back winner at the Masters.

“We’ve all got to make putts,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what the headlines say.”

Scott couldn’t agree more, which is why he’s going back to a familiar putter.

The long and short of it: Adam Scott going back to long putter for best odds at Masters

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SBARCELONA, Spain - Cristiano

Ronaldo’s devastating five-goal per-formance on Sunday has rekindled his ongoing duel with rival Lionel Messi to see which star ends the season as the Spanish league’s top scorer.

Messi will get his turn to torment a struggling Almeria on Wednesday, when Barcelona aims to protect its four-point lead over Ronaldo’s Real Madrid at the top of the standings.

Later that evening, Madrid cross-es the Spanish capital to face Rayo Vallecano and looks to maintain its momentum from Sunday when Ronaldo struck five times in its 9-1 destruction of Granada.

Messi and Ronaldo have led the Spanish league in scoring for the past five seasons, and this year is proving to be the most intense shootout of all.

Ronaldo surged ahead at the start of the campaign for what appeared to be an unassailable lead of 23 goals to Messi’s 13 through 15 rounds.

Messi then went on a scoring streak of his own to help Barcelona move ahead of Madrid in the stand-ings and edge Ronaldo 32-30 in their individual contest.

But Ronaldo has struck six goals in his last two games, including his first career five-goal match, to take a 36-32 lead.

Ronaldo’s five goals rekindle scoring duel in Spanish league

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SLOS ANGELES - The high-octane “Furious 7”

peeled out of the gates in its opening weekend, picking up a stunning $143.6 million from 4,004 locations to easily top the domestic box office, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The expectation-shattering sum is a franchise best for the $190 million Universal Pictures film.

“Furious 7” also unseats “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” which opened to $95 million on the same weekend last year.

Holdovers populated the rest of the top spots with DreamWorks Animation’s “Home” earn-ing $27.4 to take a distant second place. “Get Hard” brought in an estimated $12.9 million, while “Cinderella” and “The Divergent Series: Insurgent” rounded out the top five with $10.3 million and $10 million, respectively.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SLOS ANGELES - “The Price is Right” model

Manuela Arbelaez thought she would have to come on down to the unemployment line after she mistakenly revealed the price of a new car on the game show.

The 26-year-old model said in an interview Friday that she lost her train of thought while exposing the answers to “Five Price Tags,” a game that involves correctly choosing a vehicle’s value among five oversized tags. Arbelaez accidently unmasked the correct $21,960 price after the contestant’s first pick, even though the partici-pant still had two more chances to guess.

“It was a brain fart,” said Arbelaez. “I just zoned out. I literally did not see that coming. My body took over and reacted before my brain had a chance to stop it.”

The goof brought Arbelaez to tears and sent “Price is Right” host Drew Carey into a giggle fit.

“Congratulations, Manuela just gave you a car,” Carey told the contestant.

The clip of Arbelaez’s unexpected exposure made the social media rounds online after the episode aired Thursday. Arbelaez joked about her flub on Twitter, but she said Friday that it wasn’t a laughing matter for her during production of that episode.

“We took a commercial break, and I was still very overwhelmed,” said Arbelaez. “I was in tears. I thought, ‘Well, this is it.’ I asked the producers, ‘Am I going to be fired?’ They started laughing and told me of course I wouldn’t be fired.”

Arbelaez, who has been showcasing prizes on “The Price is Right” for six years, has been sur-prised by the attention her blunder has garnered. The clip on the show’s official YouTube channel has received more than 3 million views.

“It’s been overwhelming, in a good way,” Arbelaez said. “I knew I was going to get a couple of tweets and videos with my name tagged on it, but this has gone viral. It’s amazing how people reacted. It’s been very positive. Everyone has been so nice and supportive.”

Arbelaez said she wasn’t reprimanded for the error, and $21,960 wasn’t deducted from her paycheque.

‘Price is Right’ model apologizes for

$21,960 mistake

Leisure

Dear Annie: I recently saw the results of a survey that said the more work men do around the house the less sex they get. I have seen many comments in your column from women who stated the opposite -- that if a man did more around the house, he might “get more” in the bedroom.

I have always helped out with cooking, mop-ping floors, doing laundry, cleaning the bathroom, etc., and never once did I consider that the point was more sex. But this information confused me. I mentioned it to my wife, who said, “Sorry.”

So, I asked another woman her thoughts on this subject, and she said men would get more sex, but she had a little smile on her face that told me different. Another wom-an’s answer was “maybe, maybe not.” So what’s up with the conflicting state-ments? Should I not help out as much? -- Confused Husband

Dear Confused: Cute. No. Like it or not, the amount you help around

the house should not be tied to how much sex you get. You should help because it’s the right thing to do, and, as a partner in a relationship, you should do your share. If it also makes your part-ner feel appreciative and less exhausted, that often translates to more sex. But there are so many factors that go into the desire for intimacy that you’d have to discuss it more thor-oughly with your wife to find out what she needs and wants from you that will make her feel desir-able and interested.

We can guarantee you, though, that if you watch TV while she does all the housework, there is likely to be no sex at all.

Dear Annie: “Tired

and Disgusted Other Half” wrote an open let-ter to her husband, who thought it was funny to criticize her in front of their children and friends. I was married to a man who became increasingly verbally abusive over the years. The last eight years of our marriage were hor-rible. He put me down in front of our employees and demeaned me about everything from my minor weight gain to my house-keeping and cooking. Then he said his abuse was my fault. I became totally uninterested in him physi-cally, which made him even angrier.

Two therapists told him this was verbal abuse, but he would not listen. We were together for 41 years. He never thought I would have the courage to leave. But two years ago, at age 60, I decided that the thought of spend-ing another 20 years being treated this way was more terrifying than the idea of living on my own.

I left my home and busi-ness and lost my financial security. But two years

later, I am doing well. It has not been easy, but I get up every morning and am able to look in the mirror with self-respect. -- Life Is Good

Dear Life: It sounds as though you did every-thing you could to save your marriage, and unfor-tunately, your husband

wasn’t willing to do the same. You needed to save yourself, and we are glad your decision to leave worked out so well. If any of our readers feel they are being verbally abused, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE.

For Wednesday, April 8, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is an exciting, fast-paced day for you. In fact, your feet will barely touch the ground. You are upbeat and eager to talk to every-one! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a restless day for you. Perhaps you are looking forward to some-thing? Or perhaps some-thing exciting is swirling all around you? Expect a few revelations. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A friend or a member of a group will surprise you today. Alternatively, you might meet someone who is a real character, totally off the wall. (This is not a boring day.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Conversations with boss-es, parents and VIPs will surprise you today. If you

are caught off-guard and feel offended, don’t quit your day job. Wait until you know what’s happening. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Travel plans likely will be canceled, rescheduled or changed in some way today. This is almost a certainty. You might experience a breakthrough in studies or something related to the law or medicine. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Keep an eye on your bank account and anything related to shared property, because something unex-pected might occur today. Stay on top of things so that you are prepared for sudden changes. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Conversations with part-ners and close friends will be full of upsets and sur-prises today. This might mean good news, or it could mean a huffy argu-ment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your work routine defi-nitely will be interrupted today. This might be due to computer crashes, power outages, fire drills, canceled meetings, staff shortages -- anything. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is an accident-prone day for your kids or for chil-dren you work with, so be vigilant. Know what is going

on at all times. Remove potential hazardous situa-tions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Small appliances might break down at home today, or minor breakages could occur. A family member might have surprising news. (This is not a typical day.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an accident-prone day for you, so pay attention

to everything you say and do. Keep your mind aware and your antennas sharp. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Keep an eye on your finances today. You might find money; you might lose money. Something you own might be broken or lost. You must protect what you own. YOU BORN TODAY You have humanitarian and altruistic values. You want to make the world a bet-

ter place, and you particu-larly want to help those who are less fortunate. You are unselfish and giving. This year, your success lies with others. Because people will benefit you, make friends and join clubs and organiza-tions. Help others; in doing so, you will be helping your-self. Birthdate of: Patricia Arquette, actress; Gabriella Wilde, actress; Taylor Kitsch, actor.

B y S t e v e H u B r e c H tInvermerre Valley Echo

The District of Invermere will be conducting testing throughout the summer to try and pinpoint the cause of taste and odour issues that some residents have with the water coming out of their taps.

Engineers from Urban Systems, the company that does the work on the district’s water systems, and a repre-sentative from the provincial Interior Health Authority (IHA) attended a committee of the whole meeting on March 24, at which the Urban Systems engineers unveiled a work plan to test the water during the next several months.

“Basically they outlined a work plan for the next six to eight months to do a bunch of testing to see what it is that cause the taste and odour issue,” said Invermere mayor Gerry Taft, speaking after the meeting. “One of the top pri-orities of council, as decided during the last municipal elec-tion campaign, was to deal with the taste and odour concerns some of the public have around the water, so that’s where this

stems from. We’re following through on that.”

Taft said council members are hopeful that the engineers will be able to figure out the problem, or at least determine if it is an issue in the source supply of Invermere’s water, or if it is a problem that arises in the distribution part of the dis-trict’s water system.

In the meantime, there are plenty of anecdotal theories as to what the cause may be.

“There have been many theories for a while. One of the main ones is that there are lower levels of dissolved oxygen in the water and that creates conditions that allow organ-ic organisms to grow. Some preliminary testing in the past showed sufficient levels of dis-solved oxygen. Another theory is that some of the dead end pipes in the district’s water sys-tem would make organic com-pounds, if they exist, worse. Anecdotally speaking, a lot of the complaints come from cer-tain areas of the town, which suggests the problem is specific to certain neighbourhoods,” said Taft, adding ultimately testing is necessary to get to

the bottom of the issue.“There are these theories,

but we don’t know. We need to do further testing to determine that,” he said. “Is it an issue with the source water, or in the distribution system, or is it a combination? We don’t know.”

The IHA representative at the meeting clarified to council that while the district may have issue with taste and smell, the water is fine to drink.

“He made clear that from IHA’s perspective that this is purely aesthetic and that our water is totally safe. He was quite adamant that it meets all the IHA parameters,” said Taft.

Urban Systems will take samples throughout the sum-mer as bench testing and com-pare it to winter testing, hope-fully then drawing some con-clusion as to the nature of the problem.

“Another of anecdotal theor-ies is that if you have bad tast-ing water and you shake it, the problem goes away. So it could be that solving the issue is as simple as the district aerat-ing its water. Or it could be as complicated as heavy duty filtration,” said Taft.

Devin Kazakoff will not be get-ting a permanent criminal record for his role in the vandalism of clover traps in Kimberley, how-ever, he will have to pay over $2,700 in fines and restitution.

Handing down his ruling of a conditional discharge and fines on Wednesday morning in Cranbrook Provincial Court, Justice Ron Webb noted that Kazakoff had apologized and taken responsibility for his actions in the vandalism of four deer traps in Kimberley in February 2014. On the same hand, Webb also denounced the act of vandalism and said it was hard to believe that Kazakoff didn’t know his actions constituted a criminal act.

The vandalism was a first time offence for Kazakoff, who was 28 years old at the time.

Kazakoff, who damaged the deer traps along with Lucky Sikora, pleaded guilty to a charge of mischief under $5,000 last week, with crown and defence counsel submitting arguments for appropriate sentencing.

Kazakoff, who admitted to being a leader with Sikora as the follower, drove down to Kimberley from Invermere on Feb. 26, 2014 and damaged four clover traps

that were located on private prop-erty in the early morning hours of Feb. 27, 2014.

Trail cameras watching the traps snapped photographs of the vandalism, while a homeowner, who observed the vandalism, notified conservation officers.

Patrolling the area, a con-servation officer observed a man dressed in black wearing a bala-clava and carrying a large sack getting into a yellow car.

With the help of RCMP, the car was stopped and a police dog tracked the sack, which was dis-covered buried in the woods and contained clover trap netting and knives.

Both Kazakoff and Sikora were arrested and charged with mis-chief.

Sikora had previously pleaded guilty to mischief over $5,000 in September 2014, and was fined $800 and ordered to pay restitu-tion of $1,000 and a victim sur-charge of $240.

Kazakoff, who faced a charge of mischief under $5,000, was ordered to pay $736 to the City of Kimberley for costs incurred post-vandalism, $1,000 in restitu-tion to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, and $1,040 in victim surcharges.
