Greater Trail police are still seeking help identifying a male purse snatcher who robbed a woman in Gyro Park on Thursday.

Sgt. Darren Oelke of the Trail and Greater District Detachment said the police are continuing to investi-gate the incident.

“There has been no devel-opment yet. We haven’t received any viable tips,” he told the Trail Times on Monday.

“As far we know this is an isolated incident.”

The robbery occurred Thursday afternoon when the female victim was walk-ing in the trail area of Gyro Park.

The suspect was riding a light green and white mountain bike when he approached a woman from behind and snatched her back pack as he rode by.

The back pack contained numerous belongings, including her purse.

The Caucasian man is described to be in his late 40s or early 50s, with a grey/

dark beard and unkempt shoulder-length hair.

He is approximately 5'5” to 5'7” and was wearing blue jeans and a jean or cord type jacket, said an RCMP press release.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the police at 250.364.2566 or anony-mously at Crime Stoppers, 1.800.222.TIPS (8477).

Few things in life have no strings attached, but in a way that defines the province's Small Community Grant program.

Unconditional funds are distributed twice a year, giving municipalities with populations under 19,000 the leeway to invest the money in local needs such as safety initiatives, infrastruc-ture upgrades, capital projects, or administrative and service delivery priorities.

Last week, the province released $40 million in small community grants and another $75 million is slated for disbursement in June.

Each community recognizes the grant as general revenue though respective councils are the decision-makers in how the cash will be used.

While Trail council hasn't directed its $470,000 into a service or project at this point, most likely the funding will be applied to the capital plan, explained David Perehudoff, the city's chief administrative officer (CAO).

This year's grant increased approximately $173,000 from 2014, and bumps total capital expenditures from the general coffer to about $2.1 million compared to $1.74 million from last year.

“This will effectively eliminate any reserve dependency that has been built into the budget over the last few years,” Perehudoff said.

“The moneys do provide flexibility in the con-text of such things as capital spending or can be used to offset costs in the interest of reducing the overall municipal property tax levy.”

Rossland will take in close to $478,000 through the grant program, said the city's Mayor Kathy Moore.

“It just goes into our general revenue and helps us keep the lights on,” she added.

In past years, Fruitvale has used its small community grant to augment taxation revenue to provide basic services such as roads and trans-portation, sidewalks and street lighting, said CAO Lila Cresswell.

She explained the amount is formula-based See TRAFFIC, Page 3

B y C h r i s s t e d i l eRossland News

In a recent letter sent to the Rossland News, ex-councillor and mayoral can-didate Jill Spearn slammed city council — in particular Mayor Kathy Moore — over the recent events with city employees Tracey Butler and Darrin Albo.

Butler was previously the city’s deputy chief adminis-trative officer and Albo was, and still is, employed as man-ager of operations.

Spearn wrote she is con-cerned with the way the situ-ation was handled and out-raged that two members of city staff have been dismissed. However, only Butler has left city employment. Albo is cur-rently on stress leave as he felt his work load was too much and he was doing other jobs he believed should not be in his job description.

Council is currently iron-

ing out the details and Moore wrote in her own letter and response, “Council immedi-ately started negotiating a new contract with Mr. Albo when he made it clear he did not want to work under the terms of his existing contract but also did not want to leave. Based on his input, we have designed a job that plays to his strengths and takes a lot of the stress out of his pos-ition. He is a valued member of the team and will be with the city for many years to come. The agreement is fair for everyone.”

In Butler’s case, things unfortunately did not go so well and it seems some mis-understandings were present, she said.

Spearn wrote in her let-ter what she believed to be the process that led to Butler leaving. “Both she and Mr. Albo were asked to meet with the mayor ... March 9, to

discuss ‘something’. Mayor Moore then proceeded to give the same letter to both man-agers which clearly uses the word ‘termination’.”

Spearn continued to write that Butler was entitled to work for two more years under her current contract with no additional cost to the taxpayer and that now residents are left to pay out nearly $200,000 in the wake of her contract termination and subsequent payout.

“The council could have let her contract expire,” Spearn wrote, “and saved that large amount of money. Ms. Butler seized an opportunity to negotiate a pay out and now we’ll all pay, when it was unnecessary. Is this good stewardship of our taxpayers money?”

While it is true that a large payout has been confirmed, Moore said no letters were given to the employees and it

was more of a friendly heads-up that was taken the wrong way.

In Moore’s rebuttal, she explained, “I showed both employees a draft letter but clearly told them that coun-cil had not yet approved it; it wasn’t signed, it wasn’t on letterhead and it had a future date on it. It was, however, council’s intent to change the contracts.”

The contracts were in dire need of change, coun-cil agreed, as part of their attempt to clean up and reorganize the messy situa-tion at city hall.

Moore continued, “Ms. Butler quit rather than work under the terms of her con-tract. That was her preroga-tive. Technically, the city was not obligated to pay her any-thing. In honor of her years of dedicated service, council gave her a generous payout.

Sharman Thomas, Trail Transit Services supervisor, is welcoming the public aboard for Earth Day. In celebration of Earth Day on Wednesday, bus rides will be free of charge. The free rides apply to both conventional and handyDART services. A full BC Transit bus can take 40 vehicles off the road. Over the course of a year, the shift from a single occupancy vehicle to public transportation would save 70,000 litres of fuel and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a third.

FROM PAGE 2“No one was fired. Both employ-

ees had the option to continue to work under the generous terms of their existing contracts for two years; then council would be free to renegotiate better contracts for the benefit of the community.”

Spearn then asked why another councillor wasn’t present at the meeting in addition to Moore.

At a recent council meeting,

Moore stated the intention was to have another council member present but he wasn’t available.

“Ms. Spearn states that I acted without council’s approval or fore-knowledge. Council had innumer-able meetings to discuss this labour issue and other challenges aris-ing from contracts entered into by the previous council. I acted with council’s full knowledge and endorsement. As a courtesy, and in

the spirit of “no surprises,” I asked to meet with both employees to discuss an item on the upcoming agenda.”

Also at open council, council-lor Aaron Cosbey admitted, “We were stupid for not seeing [Butler’s reaction].” He was referring to her decision to leave upon hearing of the contract renegotiation. Council believes Butler took it as a sort of termination and was not comfort-

able. This was not their intention, he explained.

“This council is dealing with a number of residual issues and complicated contracts approved by the last council,” Moore added. “That is the case whenever a new group takes over. It was clear from the election results that the com-munity supported a new approach. While we appreciate that change is hard, council is taking action.”

‘No one was

fired,’ says

FROM PAGE 1 and has varied over the last few years, but Fruitvale will receive almost $480,000 by June 30.

Cresswell said the province is providing an advance on next year’s sum, which means in 2016 the grants could be seven to 10 per cent less than 2015.

“The amount is 86.5 per cent of what our taxes are,” Cresswell noted. “So you can see that any changes in the amount the prov-ince transfers to us under this rev-enue sharing program may have quite an impact on taxpayers or service levels provided.”

Montrose will receive approxi-mately $395,000 this year, says CAO Bryan Teasdale.

“Generally, these funds are used to help complete general adminis-tration and operational activities for the village (both past and pres-ent budgets),” Teasdale explained “And have been fairly consistent over the past few years, although the name of these annual transfers has changed.”

Regional districts are disbursed money during the funding cycle to assist with administration costs through a basic grant program.

The scale of the grant is based on regional district population in 50,000 resident increments; begin-ning at $120,000 for regional dis-tricts up to 20,000 residents and phasing out at 250,000 residents.

Each regional district receives

an additional $5,000 for each local community commission.

This year the Regional District of Kootenay boundary will receive $207,000 in unconditional funding, according to Beth Burget, RDKB’s general manager of finance.

The district budgeted $150,000 in general administration and $40,000 in electoral area adminis-tration to offset associated expens-es, she added.

During the granting cycle, Trail receives additional funds, this year $112,000, through traffic fine rev-enue.

The Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing (TFRS) program funding helps offset the cost of policing and community safety.

“The payment helps offset the $2.1 million the city pays for polic-ing services,” explained Perehudoff. “It is not specifically directed towards a “traffic related” project but forms part of general revenue.”

The TFRS grants come from ticket fines and court-imposed fines on violation tickets, and the amount of money a municipality receives is based on its contribution to total municipal policing costs.

Only communities that pay for policing – Trail, Nelson and Castlegar, receive traffic fine rev-enues. Rural communities with populations under 5,000 that do not pay directly for policing are accounted for through a reduction in the police tax rate.

A Fruitvale man is facing charg-es of possession for the purpose of trafficking and production after police seized 600 marijuana plants on Thursday.

Greater Trail officers execut-ed a search warrant under the Controlled Drugs and Substances

Act at a rural Fruitvale residence that day.

The male was arrested follow-ing the discovery of the marijuana plants, which were in various stages of growth, according to a Friday news release from the Trail and Greater District RCMP.

The man is slated to appear in Rossland Court next month.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SFORT ST. JOHN,

B.C. - A land owner in northeastern British Columbia says he stands to lose virtually everything if the prov-incial government is allowed to move ahead with building a con-troversial dam in the region.

Ken Boon operates a farm, a campground and a log-home busi-ness in an area of the Peace River val-ley slated to wind up underwater if the Site C hydroelectric project is allowed to continue.

“It would all be wiped out if Site C went ahead,” said Boon, estimating his land loss at roughly 130 hectares. “It would take us out of business.”

On Monday, a regional land owner group headed by Boon will be in court in Vancouver in an effort to derail the $8.8-bil-lion megaproject.

The Peace Valley Landowner Association is ask-ing the B.C. Supreme Court to quash the environmental assess-

ment certificate for the Site C dam, arguing the provincial govern-ment failed to properly follow the assessment process.

“We feel they hijacked the results and issued a certificate that’s not valid,” said Boon, adding that the assessment brought up valid concerns and r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s which were ignored by the government.

“Our preference is not to go to court but this was really the only path the government gave us.”

This case is the first of seven legal challen-ges related to Site C being brought against the B.C. and federal governments from a variety of groups.

On Thursday, Treaty 8 First Nations will be in court challenging the provincial govern-ment.

Joe Foy is the national campaign dir-ector for the Wilderness Committee, a V a n c o u v e r - b a s e d e n v i r o n m e n t a l organization and ally of the Peace Valley Landowner Association.

Foy argues the loss of wildlife habitat and farmland is not justi-fied by the dam’s con-struction.

“The government hasn’t proven the need for the project and therefore the project shouldn’t be allowed,” said Foy.

“It’s a heck of a way to waste $9 billion and destroy a lot of land in the process.”

The B.C. govern-ment gave the project the green light late last year.

First Nations and environmental groups have denounced the Site C project, fore-casting it as the most expensive mistake in the province’s history.

The land owner association will return to court in July to level similar complaints against the federal government.

B y T o m F l E T C H E RBlack Press

The B.C. government has killed 11 wolves in the South Selkirk Mountains and another 73 in the South Peace region in the first year of a five-year plan to protect dwindling caribou herds.

The South Selkirk program left seven to 10 wolves alive because they were not targeting caribou, and their movements continue to be tracked. That mountain caribou herd is down to 14, compared to 18 last year and 46 in 2009.

The South Peace herds have also seen significant losses from wolves, with 37 per cent of adult mortalities con-firmed as wolf kills. Four herds in the region, the Quintette, Moberly, Scott and Kennedy-Siding, were targeted in the wolf removal program.

The 700-member Graham herd, the largest in the South Peace, is being left without protection as a control group.

The program to shoot wolves from

the air was a last resort after targeted hunting and trapping of wolves proved inadequate, sometimes splitting up wolf packs and increasing predation of cari-bou.

The South Selkirk herd has been

subject to intensive protection efforts on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. In 2007 the province banned logging and roadbuilding in its 2.2 million-hec-tare B.C. range and restricted off-road recreatioin to reduce human disturb-ance.

In the Peace region, restrictions were approved in 2012 to protect 498,000 hectares of high elevation winter range.

The modern program began in 2003, after decades of managed hunting and other wolf control measures.

For the first part of the 20th century, B.C. offered a bounty on wolves that ended in 1955. Beginning in 1950, baits laced with poison were used in bait stations and later dropped onto frozen lakes and rivers, which killed other spe-cies as well as wolves.

Large-scale poisoning in wilderness areas was suspended in 1960, but target-ed baiting to protect livestock continued until 1999.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SKAMLOOPS, B.C. - Police are investigating

a heist at a computer store in Kamloops, B.C., that could have been scripted straight from a Hollywood movie.

Staff at the Simply Computing store in the Sahali Centre Mall arrived Saturday to find a pile of debris in a back storage room.

Store manager Regan Hayes said no alarm was sounded because the thieves broke in through the mall’s concrete ceiling.

About 50 iPads and 38 computers were stolen. The value of the items is estimated to be between $50,000 and $100,000.

Hayes said it appears the crooks climbed onto the mall’s roof sometime overnight, where they were able to get into an empty second-storey office through a window.

Once inside they drilled through the con-crete floor and then into the drywall of Simply Computing’s ceiling.

“It’s ‘Ocean’s 11’ stuff,” Hayes said, refer-ring to the movie starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts.

“They dropped in through the ceiling and took all of our laptops and all of our iPads.”

Hayes said Apple’s high-tech security and tracking software might come in handy for police when it comes to catching those responsible.

“If someone sells these things, they can work it back and trace it to them,” he said.

Hayes said the thieves did not gain access to the secure room where they keep custom-ers’ computers that are in for repairs.

“Nobody’s personal information was accessed,” he said.

The RCMP investigation into the burglary is ongoing.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SSURREY, B.C. - The mayor of the British

Columbia city at the centre of a gang war implored those shooting at each another to stop before more people are killed.

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner’s comments come after police named 22-year-old Arun Bains as the victim in a shooting over the weekend.

Mounties say Bains was known to be con-nected to the street-level drug trade and became the first person to lose his life after almost two dozen shootings in six weeks.

RCMP Assistant Commissioner Dan Mallow says police are united in taking action against a gang war that has erupted on Surrey streets.

Mallow says every officer in the region has been given information on the people who are known to be involved.

Police have determined that 14 of the 22 shootings in Surrey and neighbouring Delta since March 9 are linked to a dispute between gangs of South Asian and Somalian descent.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Canada’s

military watchdog says the families of sol-diers who die in the line of duty remain on the outside looking in when it comes to Defence Department investigations.

But a military law-yer who represents many of those fam-ilies says they become more like pawns when-ever the institution is required to investigate itself.

In a new report, Canadian Forces ombudsman Gary Walbourne recom-mends setting up a family co-ordinator position to work with relatives and figure out how best to involve them in the complex board of inquiry pro-cess.

“The death or

serious injury of a Canadian Armed Forces member is always a difficult event and none is more pro-foundly affected by it than the member’s family,” Walbourne said in a statement.

“These families need and deserve

information, sup-port and assistance to help them come to terms with the loss or injury.”

The inquiries are technical investiga-tions that look at the circumstances sur-rounding deaths, and whether military pro-

cedures or practices contributed to the tra-gedy.

But they are often a source of frustration and confusion for fam-ilies, who complain about being kept in the dark and even accuse the military of using the inquiries as a way

to cover up misdeeds.The most high-pro-

file example involves the recently concluded public inquiry into the 2008 suicide of Cpl. Stuart Langridge, dur-ing which his parents were long denied a copy of the investiga-tion report.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SEDMONTON - Alberta NDP Leader Rachel

Notley took a page from former Tory pre-mier Peter Lougheed when she unveiled her party’s election campaign platform in Edmonton on Sunday.

Notley said corporations that did well dur-ing the boom should be expected to shoulder more of the burden during lean times.

She said Premier Jim Prentice calls that extremist, but notes that Lougheed also sup-ported a corporate tax increase.

Notley admitted she may have felt a bit odd at first to be agreeing with Lougheed, since her late father, Grant Notley, was NDP leader when Lougheed was premier.

“I might have originally, given my dad’s historic relationship. But you know what? He had some pretty good ideas,” Notley said about Lougheed.

“Some of those ideas were, in order to wean ourselves off the oil revenue roller coaster, we needed to start looking at asking corporations to pay a bit more.”

She says 90 per cent of Albertans would pay less in taxes with the NDP platform than the PC plan, and she promised not to intro-duce a sales tax.

The platform also promises to reverse the PC government’s cuts to health care and edu-cation, and introduce a job creation tax credit that would rebate 10 per cent of the wages paid to new employees.

The provincial budget, the platform pledg-es, would be balanced by 2017.

Opposition parties have been trending up and the Tories trending down in opinion polls, with the NDP, the Wildrose and the Tories meeting in the middle.

Party supporters who were on hand at the platform launch said they believed the reason for their party’s apparent rise was that voters are tired of the 44-year-old Tory government.

“The premier says, ‘Look in the mirror.’ People went and looked in the mirror and all they saw was PC for 40 years,” said supporter Rob Odokki, referring to Prentice’s remarks in March in which critics accused him of blaming Albertans for the current economic problems.

Supporter Colleen Chapman said that while the boom years were a boost for many people, others in her central Edmonton con-stituency suffered, noting she knows people working several jobs just to pay bills.

Susan Dut, meanwhile, said the govern-ment’s cuts to education and health were issues that are motivating opposition.

“I feel like for me, it’s hitting a lot more close to home now,” Dut said.

The NDP platform promises to elimin-ate the health levy announced in the recent budget and create 2,000 new longterm care beds. A re-introduction of a progressive income tax also means citizens making more than $125,000 will be asked to pay a little more, the platform says.

Military keeps families out when investigating deaths: report

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - The symbol-

ism of Finance Minister Joe Oliver donning a pair of Tory blue sneakers Monday for the traditional new-budget-shoes photo opportunity shouldn’t be lost on anyone.

A federal election date may yet be six months away, but Tuesday’s promised delivery of the Harper government’s first balanced spending blue-print in eight years means the Conservatives are already off and running.

In fact, the well-orches-trated march to the 2015 general election began more than a year ago, when the government presented a 2014 budget that, it turns out, could have reason-ably showed a surplus - but held off the big reveal until Canadians were closer to the ballot box.

The parliamentary budget office last week predicted 2014-15 will come in $3.4 billion in the black - a pos-sible jump start on those

“New Balance” runners Oliver slipped on at a Toronto shoe store.

The long march continued last Halloween at a cam-paign-style event in Vaughan, Ont., where Prime Minister Stephen Harper rolled out a five-year, $27-billion package of improvements to family benefits and targeted tax cuts - a sort of rolling campaign barrage timed to light up the fireworks in July when fam-ilies receive their first retro-active benefit cheques.

The simple electoral arithmetic of tax breaks and benefit boosts was on dis-play Monday in the House of Commons.

“In my riding of Oak Ridges-Markham, (constitu-ents) get up every morning, they get to work and what they want their government to do is put more money back in their pockets to invest in their priorities,” said Paul Calandra, Harper’s parliamentary secretary, who holds one of the coveted 905

area code ridings around Toronto.

Between Tuesday’s budget launch and those well-timed, mid-summer family cheques there will be an orgy of gov-ernment self-promotion, with $7.5 million already earmarked for “economic action plan” advertising.

These large set pieces of the Conservative re-election campaign will be augment-ed Tuesday with a host of smaller measures aimed up shoring up perceived weak-nesses and bolstering per-ceived strengths.

Help for seniors - a key Conservative voting demo-graphic that’s growing as the baby boomers pass 65 - is also expected through changes to registered retire-ment income fund rules and a long-promised doubling of the $5,500 annual limit on tax-free savings accounts.

There will be cash for the national security apparatus, a big government selling point in this season of domestic

terror attacks and overseas military missions.

Announcements linked to the upcoming coun-try-wide celebrations for Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017 are also expected as the Conservatives pound home the “Strong Proud Free” marketing tagline they’ve introduced to government ads.

There will likely be target-ed infrastructure funding for major public transit projects, spending the government will promote as “green” to help cover a weak environ-mental policy flank while wooing those suburban com-muters Calandra referenced.

And there may be meas-ures to bolster manufac-turing, small businesses and skills training as the Conservatives attempt to buff their job creation cre-dentials.

Headlining it all will be the return to surplus, back-stopped by proposed bal-anced budget legislation.

Budget to set federal election campaign running


OPINION

Provincial land sales leave lingering odourThe B.C. Liberal

government’s sale of Crown proper-ties to help bal-

ance its election budget was the dominant story in the legislature last week, as the NDP revealed evi-dence of a “fire sale” that may have left millions on the table.

They started with Burke Mountain, the biggest sin-gle deal involving 14 view properties in Coquitlam. The buyer was a promin-ent developer whose array of companies happened to donate nearly $1 million to the B.C. Liberal Party since 2000.

The $85 million price tag was similar to the B.C. Assessment Authority value on these forested properties, but an out-side appraisal concluded they could have fetched an additional $43 million if they had spent more time on the hot Lower Mainland real estate mar-ket.

(This sale made head-lines last fall for the

province’s $8 million buyout of the local First Nation’s undefined ter-ritorial claim, when it was revealed the chief of the tiny Kwikwitlem First Nation pocketed an $800,000 commission.)

The government’s defence of the sale went from wobbly to weak. Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk was caught flat-footed and tried to get by on platitudes rather than retreat and find some answers.

Premier Christy Clark weighed in, arguing that the budget would have balanced without the property sale, and that some sales closed too late to help the election-year budget.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong stressed that all these asset sales were detailed in three succes-sive budgets. They down-played the notion of land sales being rushed.

Then the NDP pro-duced a string of emails sent between senior offi-

cials responsible for sell-ing two big properties across the street from the legislature.

“To be part of the sale and development of over eight acres of Victoria’s beautiful inner harbour area is a once-in-a-life-time opportunity. An opportunity that normally would warrant years of planning and prepara-tion,” wrote one citizens’ services bureaucrat.

“Unfortunately we don’t have unlimited time – our goal is to have For Sale signs up by Oct. 31 with sales proceeds in the

bank by March 31, 2013.”Then came a disclosure

about a property in Surrey that had been bought as a potential hospital site. Once the existing hospital was expanded, that prop-erty was declared surplus.

Indeed, de Jong fea-tured this property to promote the govern-ment’s plan to stimulate local economies with pri-vate sector investment on unused land.

The Surrey deal closed for $20.5 million on March 21, 2014, just days before the end of the fiscal year.NDP leader John Horgan pointed to an outside appraisal of $23.5 million, and an assessment for tax purposes of $27.2 million.

The appraiser also rec-ommended that the “high-est and best use” for the Surrey land was to hold it until had been rezoned for commercial, retail or office development.

De Jong cited another big health property in Vancouver that sold for more than its appraised

and assessed value. It’s only the actual market that determines worth, he insisted.

But it’s now clear that these and perhaps other sales were done with arbi-trary deadlines that had everything to do with the B.C. Liberals’ need to bal-ance the books.

When elections are a battle of sound bites, perception matters more than reality.

It’s also worth recalling that the budget deficits prior to the 2013 election were largely a result of the B.C. government’s costly undoing of the harmon-ized sales tax, rather than the harsh forces of inter-national finance.

Surplus asset sales have a long tradition in B.C., where the govern-ment owns more than 90 per cent of all land.

But after this round, full disclosure will be demanded.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SLOS ANGELES - Even in its debut weekend,

Kevin James’s “Paul Blart” sequel couldn’t out-pace “Furious 7.”

The reigning box office champion might have slowed from its blockbuster debut, but “Furious 7” maintained first place for the third weekend in a row with an estimated $29.1 million, according to box office tracker Rentrak on Sunday.

This brings the high-octane action movie’s domestic total to a staggering $294 million, well above the $202.8 million that “Fast & Furious 6” had earned at the same point in the cycle in 2013. The film crossed the $1 billion mark Friday.

“The film has set a new standard for the potential for box-office in the pre-summer month of April and has truly become part of movie folklore with its record setting numbers, strong reviews, spectacular word-of-mouth and of course the outpouring of support for late star Paul Walker,” Rentrak’s Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian said.

“Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2” came in a close second with an estimated $24 million. While the PG-rated comedy didn’t perform as well as the first film’s $31.8 million opening in 2009, it did surpass Sony’s modest expectations. Also, it only cost $30 million to produce.

Meanwhile, the low-budget, social media themed thriller “Unfriended” took third place with $16 million - sixteen times its production budget.

With “Furious 7” topping the charts again and a strong debut for “Unfriended,” Universal’s President of Domestic Distribution Nick Carpou marveled how both of films are “so successful at both ends of the spectrum.”

“Unfriended” is the 11th microbudget film to open above $15 million for Blumhouse. Other successes include “Ouija,” ”The Purge“ series and ”The Boy Next Door.“

According to exit polls, audiences for “Unfriended” were 60 per cent female and 74 per cent under the age of 25.

Rounding out the top five were holdovers “Home” and “The Longest Ride,” with $10.3 mil-lion and $6.9 million, respectively.

Disney’s animal film “Monkey Kingdom” debuted to $4.7 million to claim the seventh spot, in line with last year’s “Bears,” also from Disneynature.

The first thing to do, if you want to cut the number of refugees from Africa and the

Middle East dying while try-ing to cross the Mediterranean, is to drop leaflets all along the Libyan coast teaching them about ship stability. Don’t all rush to one side when you spot a ship that might save you, the pamphlets will say, because your boat will capsize and you will drown.

That’s what happened last weekend off the Libyan coast, where a boat filled with at least 700 refu-gees overturned when the people aboard spotted a Portuguese freighter and tried to attract its attention. (One survivor says there were 950 people aboard, including those locked below decks. ) At least 650 people died – half a Titanic’s worth of casualties – although the boat in ques-tion was only 20 metres (70 ft.) long. Only 28 people were saved.

So the second thing to do is to lock the European Union’s foreign ministers into a room and refuse to let them have caviar and champagne until they agree to do something about the silent massacre in the Mediterranean. Something quite effective was being done until late last year, but they deliberately stopped it.

Until late last year the Italian navy (praise be upon it) was running an operation called Mare Nostrum that went all the way to the edge of Libya’s terri-

torial waters to pluck refugees from the sea. The operation cost 9.5 million euros a month ($10.3 million), but it rescued 100,000 people from leaking boats or the open sea. More than half of the 170,000 refu-gees who landed in Italy had cause to thank the Italian navy, and only one in a hundred died.

The number of refugees arriving in Italy each month is around the same this year,

maybe a little higher – but ten times as many people are dying on the way. That is because the European Union’s govern-ments, rather than sharing the cost of the Mare Nostrum project, asked Italy to shut it down and substituted their

own “Triton” operation.Except that “Triton” is in

no way an adequate substitute. It only gets a third of funding Mare Nostrum had, and it is only supposed to operate in Italy’s coastal waters, not far-ther out where most of the refu-gee boats capsize or founder. Even this year, with the Italian navy theoretically excused from duty, it has saved twice as many people as the pathetic “Triton” operation. Which, by the way, was INTENDED to be pathetic.

The argument the European governments made was that if you didn’t give the refugees the hope that they would be saved by the Italian navy, fewer of them would come. Right, so if you’re fleeing the civil war in Syria or the ghastly dictator-ship in Eritrea, and you learn that the danger of dying on

a Mediterranean crossing has gone up from one percent to ten percent, you’re going to decide to stay in war-torn Libya instead?

“In many countries in Europe at the moment,” said Laurens Jolles, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) representa-tive in Italy, “the (political) dia-logue and the rhetoric is quite extreme and very irrespon-sible....It’s a fear of foreigners..., but it is being exploited for populist or political reasons, especially in election periods.”

Too true. Take, for example, Katie Hopkins, columnist for The Sun, a down-market right-wing British red-top (tabloid newspaper) owned by the estimable Rupert Murdoch. Last Friday, in an article head-lined “Rescue boats? I’d use gunships to stop migrants”, she wrote: “NO, I don’t care. Show me pictures of coffins, show me bodies floating in water, play violins and show me skinny people looking sad. I still don’t care.”

Saying that sort of thing is how she earns her living, but it also expresses the true senti-ments of a politically significant minority not only in Britain but in most countries through-out the European Union. When the UNHCR appealed to the EU to resettle 130,000 Syrian refu-gees, Germany said it would take 30,000, Sweden (with a tenth of Germany’s popula-tion) took 2,700 –and the other 26 EU states only took 5,438 between them.

So the drownings will con-tinue.

An editorial from the Guelph Mercury

When Canada’s Information Commissioner Suzanne Legault tabled her most recent report in Parliament, she must have fig-ured it would be unlikely to be acted upon in the final run of this government.

That’s in part because we’re at a point in the life of this gov-ernment where it’s now a near certainty that no new legisla-tion or law amendment is likely to progress through Parliament that hasn’t been promised by the Harper Conservatives.

It’s also because this govern-ment has demonstrated a lack of commitment to broadening Canada’s Access to Information Laws, which Legault was rec-ommending in her latest report.

In fact, the Stephen Harper government’s track record on even fostering a greater spirit of access to government infor-mation has been awful. This is a government after all that pulls things like no-questions-permitted media events such

as the one this week in which it disclosed that Canada would be sending military trainers into Ukraine. It’s a government that refers Canadians seeking information to try to obtain it through Access to Information requests — seemingly as a mat-ter of policy. Then, it handles those requests in such a way that sees sky-high rates of for-mal complaints being filed. The complaints are over such things as delays in releasing materials, fees being charged, purportedly unreasonable requests for time extensions and alleged abuse of the exclusion granted to materials deemed “confidential advice to Cabinet.” Finally, it has impaired the Information Commissioner’s ability to handle these complaints by reducing its budget by more than 10 per cent.

Perhaps Legault’s most recent report and its recom-mendations will spark some conversation during the pend-ing election campaign.

It would be good for open-

ness in government if these things came about. Legault suggests our nation’s Access to Information Act structure is a system “in crisis” and in need of modernization. Her suggested course of action, in “Striking the Right Balance for Transparency: Recommendations to modern-ize the Access to Information Act”, offers a compelling mix of possible reforms. Among these is a potential new tool for the government to use to refuse “frivolous and vexatious requests,” a call to extend the act to cover the Prime Minister’s Office and a recommendation the parliament review the legis-lation every five years. It also calls for the information officer to have the power to release information.

This call for action is unlike-ly to become a talking point for the federal government as it readies for a re-election bid. But Canadians should press for Legault’s report becoming a catalyst for political action and legislative reform.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVICTORIA - A

woman who led a fight against a proposed open-pit copper and gold mine in British Columbia has won the North American prize in the world’s largest international contest for grassroots environ-mental activism.

Marilyn Baptiste, 45, will pocket US$175,000 at a cere-mony tonight at San Francisco’s opera house. She will join five other recipients from Kenya, Myanmar, Scotland, Haiti and Honduras at a cere-mony attended by more than 3,000 people.

Baptiste is an elected councillor and former chief of the 400-member Xeni Gwet’in First Nations, located about 200

kilometres west of Williams Lake.

The Goldman E n v i r o n m e n t a l Foundation says Baptiste was chosen because of her work in leading the battle against the Prosperity Mine which would have destroyed Fish Lake, a source of spiritual identity and livelihood for First Nations in the south Chilcotin area.

Goldman Prizes are presented annually to people it classifies as environmental heroes from each of the world’s six inhabited continental regions. The awards recognize grassroots activists working against all odds to protect the environment and their communities.

“I was like want-ing to hang up the

phone and say,’ No,’ I don’t want this,”’ said Baptiste in an interview from San Francisco.

“But when I look at the fight and the pro-cess ahead of us and all the work we have ahead of us, this kind of an award is some-thing that will help us move forward and will help us gain more allies and more public international educa-tion.”

Previous Canadian winners include the former national chief of the Assembly of First Nations Matthew Coon Come and now-deceased B.C. environ-mental activist Colleen McCrory.

Baptiste is credited with contributing to two federal environ-mental review deci-sions rejecting plans by Vancouver-based Taseko Mines Ltd. (TSE:TKO), to proceed with its Prosperity mine proposals. The B.C. government’s environmental assess-ment agency had granted approval for the mine.

Baptiste presented and prepared compre-hensive environment-al, cultural and eco-

nomic data at federal environmental hear-ings. She also initiated a one-woman blockade in 2011 that prevented construction crews from reaching the pro-posed mine site.

The B.C. Supreme Court denied Taseko’s request to end the blockade, which included Baptiste and members of the Tsilhqot’in Nation, of which the Xeni Gwit’in are members.

“Everybody figured we could never win,” she said.

“Our ancestors have passed the torch forward for us to con-tinue to protect the land, our wild salmon, our way of life that is connected to the land, and our future gen-erations. Mother Earth needs our help.”

Baptiste said her people have been fight-ing to protect their land for hundreds of years.

Last June, the Supreme Court of Canada granted the Tsilhqot’in Nation title to more than 1,700 square kilometres of land in the Nemiah Valley, where Baptiste lives. It’s the first time in Canadian history

a court granted such title.

Last October, the B.C. government par-doned six Tsilhqot’in chiefs who were hanged 150 years ago for their part in what became known as the Chilcotin War of 1864. Attempts by B.C.’s colonial government to build roads from the coast through Tsilhqot’in territory to the gold fields of the Cariboo were met with aboriginal resistance. Twenty non-aborigin-als died.

Baptiste said her fight against the mines has roots in that war.

“When we talk about the war leaders of 1864, they stopped a road crew from com-ing in on the south-west side of the terri-tory,” she said. “They were after gold then, and now with this fight they are after gold in the southeastern side. The story is the same. It’s just hundreds of years later.”

Baptiste plans to use the prize money to help her family and community. She will also be honoured in a ceremony Wednesday - Earth Day - in Washington, D.C.

The Vees are victorious.The Penticton Vees are B.C. Hockey League

champions after they defeated the Nanaimo Clippers 3-2 in overtime of Game 6 on Friday night at Frank Crane Arena.

“You’re so excited for your teammates,” said Patrick Sexton, Vees captain, describing the moment. “You fight for six, seven, eight months with these guys just to be able to accomplish this championship. It’s such a great feeling.”

It was another short overtime, as Dakota Conroy scored the championship-winning goal two minutes into OT. He was able to steal a puck that was caught up in an opponent’s skates and had time and space to make a move on the goalie and score the winner.

“That’s a feeling you can’t really explain,” he said. “I just tried to get in the corner and get my stuff off and hope that I didn’t get mauled by my teammates there.”

The game stayed 0-0 until the last 10 minutes of the third period, when the Vees twice surged ahead and the Clippers twice tied it up. Dante Fabbro and Riley Alferd scored for Penticton, with Spencer Hewson and Brett Roulston replying for Nanaimo.

Shots ended up 42-29 in favour of the Vees, with Hunter Miska earning the win and Guillaume Decelles suffering the loss.

“We were down twice, clawed our way back, gave ourselves a chance; I like the spirit and the heart that we played with,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “I couldn’t ask more of our guys when it came to that.”

The Vees ended up winning four straight games in the finals after dropping the first two at home. Vees coach Fred Harbinson talked about his players’ resolve.

“They just found different ways to kind of stay in the moment and not panic and they came to work every day…” he said. “To win champion-ships, it’s never easy. It’s such a fine line.”

Conroy said even after dropping the first two games of the series, the Vees felt like they had the team to win it, and showed resilience. Sexton said the squad’s depth was also a factor.

“[The Clippers] had some guys that had to play some hard minutes against our top lines and at the end of the day, our guys found a way to win,” he said.

Nanaimo captain Brendan Taylor said his team should have realized, after going up two games to none, how big the next game was.

“Unfortunately we weren’t able to do that and we let them back in the series and they carried the momentum,” he said.

But he knows his team battled to the end.“We put all our heart in it all year and we

unfortunately didn’t come out with the result, but there was no doubt that everyone on our team wanted to win,” Taylor said.

WEST KOOTENAY ARCHERS

Sun shines on West Kootenay Archers Spring ShootBY TIMES STAFF

The West Kootenay Archers hosted another successful and sunny Spring Shoot on the weekend, with about 120 competitors taking to the forest at the Trail Wildlife Association Shooting Range for the annual event.

The weekend saw archers tackle three courses on Saturday and two on Sunday, with over a dozen categories ranging from the very young to the very experi-enced, and a variety of bows including longbow, recurve, and compound.

Each course is unique in its own right, with shooting distances and levels of dif-ficulty changing from course to course, depending on category. Each track winds for over two kilometres through the forested Casino range, on a marked trail, with life-size foam targets placed at vari-ous intervals, in varying situations and angles. One of the more interesting facets of the shoot is the targets themselves,

imitating large game mammals and birds, to the more exotic such as a polar bear and a prehistoric raptor.

Each is marked with a target area, and points scored go from 0-5-8-10 and 11 depending on where your arrow pierces the target. Shooting through a tight win-dow of tree branches, from downhill or uphill vantage is common, and gauging the distance is critical in judging the arrow’s trajectory.

Results: The Men’s Unlimited competition

would come down to the final arrow before Trail’s Mike Lerose took home top prize by beating Mike Rieberger of Fruitvale by a single point.

With over 50 archers competing in the Unlimited class, it took five cours-es and 75, 3-D life-size targets, before the winner would be decided on the final target. Rieberger led Lerose by five points after completing three courses on

Saturday with a score of 423 to Lerose’s 417, setting up Sunday’s dramatic win. The two went toe-to-toe shooting in the same group, but when the dust settled Lerose notched a 281 over two courses to Rieberger’s 274, beating him by a total of 698 to 697.

Ben Beelestone came third with a two-day total of 690 and Josh Conci was fourth with a 684.

In the Ladies Unlimited, Calla Rieberger came out on top with a score of 601, a mere two points over second-place Lee Bedard, while Candace Campbell came third with 594 points.

In Youth Girls Unlimited Brooke Beetlestone beat out Joshlyn Derosa for top spot, while Brent Plotnikoff shot a very impressive 688 to edge Matthew Dominici, 643, in the Youth Boys Unlimited.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SBOSTON - Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia won his

second Boston Marathon on Monday, two years after he donated the medal from his first victory to the city in memory of the bombing victims.

Kenya’s Carolina Rotich was the women’s champion, outsprinting Mare Dibaba down Boylston Street to win by 4 seconds.

Desisa didn’t have much time to celebrate when he won in 2013.

Hours after he crossed the finish line, two bombs exploded on Boylston Street and turned his victory into an afterthought. As the city mourned the three killed and 260 wounded in the explosions, he returned to Boston to donate the medal.

Now Desisa has a Boston title he can enjoy.

“I’m happy for No. 1,” he said. “I am happy to

win and for a strong Boston 2013.”The 25-year-old Ethiopian won the 119th edi-

tion of the world’s most prestigious marathon in an unofficial time of 2 hours, 9 minutes, 17 seconds to beat Yemane Adhane Tsegay by 31 seconds. Kenya’s Wilson Chebet was third, another 34 seconds back.

Dathan Ritzenhein of Rockford, Michigan, was the first American, in seventh. Defending champion Meb Keflezighi of San Diego was one spot behind him a year after he became the first American men’s champion since 1983, galvaniz-ing the city behind him as a symbol of patriotism and resilience.

Two years after the explosions, the race took a tentative step back toward normal.

“Boston Strong” was still ubiquitous - on shirts and signs, and shouted by spectators. But the crowds along the 26.2-mile course from Hopkinton to Copley Square were smaller than last year, no doubt thinned by the mid-40 tem-peratures that came coupled with a stiff wind and rain that was expected to pick up in the afternoon.

With many of the runners wearing long sleeves and gloves to fight off the cold, American Desiree Linden led for much of the women’s race, and fellow U.S. Olympian Shalane Flanagan was also in the pack through the midpoint. But Flanagan dropped back around Mile 18, and Linden fell off the pace in the final miles as Rotich and Ethiopians Mare Dibaba and Buzunesh Deba pulled away.

Ethiopia runner wins second Boston Marathon

THE CAmPbEll RIvER mIRRORIt wasn’t quite the perfect Storm.But the Campbell River Storm junior hockey

team put the perfect exclamation point on the 2014-15 season Sunday by claiming the Keystone Cup with a decisive, 6-3 victory over the North Edmonton Red Wings at Cold Lake Energy Centre in Cold Lake, AB.

The Western Canadian Junior B championship is the first in the Storm’s history and the first ever by a Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League team.

The game-winning goal was scored, fittingly, by 20-year-old captain Jordan Rauser, a defenseman who started with the program in the last of five straight losing seasons and who helped shepherd a two-year turnaround into a championship squad under coach and general manager Lee Stone.

Rauser, a Campbell River native, announced last month his intention to play next season at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Also fitting the makeup of the team, the six goals in Sunday’s final were scored by six different players, as the Storm relied all season not on one or two superstars, but a balanced team effort.

Goalie Riley Welyk, who came to the program in a trade deadline deal in January, was awarded first star in the win. Welyk split time in net with Jesse Michel throughout the final three rounds of playoffs as the Storm captured the VIJHL title, the Cyclone Taylor Cup as the B.C. provincial cham-pions and, finally, the Keystone.

Trevor Bottomley, Kobe Oishi, Gavin Rauser, Gage Colpron and Reece Costain all joined Jordan Rauser in the scoring column as the Storm out-shot North Edmonton 34-28.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SMONTREAL - A 30-year chapter in one of

Canada’s major success stories in the business and entertainment worlds ended Monday with the announcement that Guy Laliberte is selling his majority stake in the famed Cirque du Soleil to a U.S. private equity firm.

The founder of the internationally renowned Cirque, which conquered the world with breath-taking and cutting-edge shows, will maintain a 10 per cent stake in the Montreal-based company and continue to provide strategic and creative input.

“I want to set other creative challenges for myself,” Laliberte, 55, told a news conference in Montreal, which will remain the Cirque’s inter-national creative and management headquarters.

Equity firm TPG has acquired the majority stake for an undisclosed price, while Chinese investment firm Fosun and Quebec pension fund manager the Caisse de depot will hold minority stakes.

Laliberte dismissed any suggestions the Cirque is in financial difficulty, saying it is a prof-itable venture that sells 11 million tickets a year.

In a statement released before the news con-ference, Laliberte said the sale will be good for the Cirque.

“After 30 years building the Cirque du Soleil brand, we have now found the right partners in TPG, Fosun and the Caisse to take Cirque du Soleil forward to the next stage in its evolution as a company founded on the conviction that the arts and business, together, can contribute to making a better world,” he said.

Caisse de depot CEO Michael Sabia said it is partnering with Cirque as it seeks to conquer new markets.

“We are pleased that this new era of growth will be directed from Montreal, the Cirque’s decision-making and creative centre, under the direction of Daniel Lamarre as CEO,” he said in a statement.

Since beginning in 1984, Cirque has played to almost 160 million spectators in more than 330 cities in some 48 countries.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SARLINGTON, Texas - Musical chairs is a

common game on “The Voice.” Pharrell is sit-ting in a seat originally owned by CeeLo Green and once occupied by Usher, while Shakira and Gwen Stefani have filled in when Christina Aguilera took a hiatus from the show.

Blake Shelton said he has an idea who he would like to fill in his seat - if he ever took a break from the show, currently in its eighth season.

“I think Luke (Bryan) would be good - I do,” Shelton said of his fellow country music star in an interview Friday. “He’d be a good person in that chair.”

Shelton has been the winning coach on the series for four of the seven seasons. Adam Levine, who has won twice, has also stayed on the NBC competition show since it began in 2011.

Shelton said he’s not sure if other artists would sacrifice their careers like he has for “The Voice.”

“There also has to be an element of actually being willing to just give up, pretty much, your career to do it, your touring career,” he said. “I’m just lazy enough. I may be the only one that was willing to do that.”

“After 15 years of touring all the time, I was ready to sit in one spot for months at a time,” he added. “I know Luke loves to tour and he’s having fun with it.”

“The Voice” has helped Shelton - who was already a top country star - reach audiences outside of the country world. He said he takes the mentorship on the show seriously - and he still connects with the artists he’s worked with after the show ends.

“Well I need to stop because I feel like I am adopting half of these people that have been on my team,” he said, laughing. “We’re all human, and I don’t know how you can be around people that you have a connection with and that you have fun being around, and how that just ends because a TV show ends.”

Musical chairs: Who would Blake Shelton want in his seat on NBC’s ‘The Voice’?

Dear Annie: I am a small-business owner. It’s challenging, but I have wonderful customers who seem to like our service. So, I’d like to ask your readers a question:

Is there a business establishment that you enjoy going to? A restau-rant that is part of your life? A store where you always are treated well? You can help them stay in business by writing a posi-tive online review.

It’s human nature to complain when things go wrong, but it’s rare to post something to let people know when things go right. My business has only a few online reviews, and they are negative posts from customers who were not happy with some small thing. I always try to make amends, but even so, the review is never removed. For every bad thing that happens in my business, there are so many good things and so many happy customers. They thank me over and over, yet they don’t write reviews, even when I ask.

So, please, if you like a

business, let the world know. “Like” them on Facebook. Post a review on Yelp or TripAdvisor or Google. You don’t have to write a lot, just a couple of positive sentences. It will make more differ-ence than you realize. -- Business Woman

Dear Business: It’s human nature to write only when you have a complaint or a disagree-ment. (We should know.) When people are satisfied with the service they are getting, they rarely think to say so, but you are right that small business-es depend on good word of mouth. Please, folks, if you have had a pleasant experience with a busi-ness or service, say so in an online review. It means

a great deal to them.Dear Annie: When I

was growing up, the rule was that if you had to can-cel an appointment, you would call to let the per-son know that your plans had changed. Now that everyone has cellphones, it seems that the rules have changed.

A couple of friends stood me up on my birth-day because my cellphone was turned off. They said they didn’t come over because I hadn’t called to verify that I was actually going to be there at the appointed time. But we had already made these plans a week before. I thought I only needed to call if I was NOT going to be there. Am I out of touch with how things are done now? -- Sad Birthday Girl

Dear Birthday Girl: It was wrong of your friends to assume you had can-celed, but even if they apologize for their rude-ness, it won’t change how they respond when they cannot get ahold of you next time. The problem is, so many plans are tran-

sient these days. People expect to be able to reach you at any moment of the day or night in case something changes at the last minute. But it also means people need con-stant verification to be sure the plans are still on. We think they would be happy to reschedule, and

we hope you will let them.Annie’s Mailbox is writ-

Leisure

For Wednesday, April 22, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a pleasant, easygo-ing day. Enjoy conversations with siblings, neighbors and friends. It’s a good day to write and study as well. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You can benefit in some way today through earn-ings or financial transac-tions. Unfortunately, it’s a poor day to shop or to make important decisions. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your social skills are tops today! Take some time out of your day to socialize with others and enjoy yourself, because everyone will want to be in your company. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You feel happy and easy-going today. You might say you’ve got a warm feeling in your tummy. Just go with the flow and stick to busi-ness as usual.

VIRGO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a wonderful day to socialize with oth-ers. In particular, gather-ings and groups will be a positive experience for you. But don’t volunteer for any-thing. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might develop a crush on your boss or some-one in a position of author-ity today. Someone else might ask for your creative input on something. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Travel for pleasure appeals to you today. However, this is a poor day to actually make plans. Do your home-work and get the facts, but wait until tomorrow to act. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Although this is a poor day to make important deci-sions, discussions about shared property and such nevertheless will be in your favor. Accept gifts and good-

ies that come your way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Enjoy socializing with others today, particularly partners and close friends. A casual friend might become a romantic interest. Woo, woo! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Things will go well at work for you today. In fact, it’s a good day to join forces with others. Work-related

travel is likely. People are happy today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a fantastic, creative day! Find ways to express your talents. Grab every opportunity to play and have fun. Accept all invitations. Activities with children and sports will appeal. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Invite the gang over, because this is a wonderful

day to socialize at home. You will enjoy making your home more beauti-ful in some way. (But this is a poor day to shop for anything other than gas or food.) YOU BORN TODAY You are earthy, natural and very organized. You set up sys-tems. You work hard, but in a quiet way. Big money fascinates you. This year you have something important to learn. The first half of

this year will seem slow, but soon your efforts of the past six years will start to show results! You will enjoy the outdoors this year. Birthdate of: Peter Frampton, musician; Jack Nicholson, actor; Rolene Strauss, model. (c) 2015 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

B y N i c o l e T r i g gColumbia Valley Pioneer

An assessment of the potential ava-lanche risk from two avalanche paths in Jumbo Valley has determined that the majority of Jumbo Glacier Resort’s Service Building foundation is in a high risk zone.

“Dense f low impacts were observed with 10 to 15 metres of the building site,” states the report pre-pared by Dynamic Avalanche Consulting Inc. dated March 19th.

In the report, high risk is indicated by the term “Red Zone” while moderate risk is labelled “Blue Zone” and low risk labelled “White Zone.”

The remainder of the Service Building site is located in the Blue Zone. The resort’s Day Lodge foundation is mostly

within the Blue Zone with a small portion in the White Zone.

“Dense flow ava-lanche impacts were observed 80 metres from the Day Lodge, but there was no evi-dence to suggest that dense flow can reach the Day Lodge,” the report explains.

Both concrete foundations were poured last fall just before the resort’s E n v i r o n m e n t a l Certificate came up for renewal.

A decision by the BC Minister of Environment Mary Polak on whether or not Jumbo Glacier Resort achieved enough of a “substan-tial start” to renew the Environmental Certificate has been pending while an engineering ava-lanche risk evaluation has been underway.

Based on the above assessments,

the report recom-mends that a build-ing constructed on the Service Building foundation “not be used or routinely accessed during the winter season.”

Further recom-mendations include doors and windows facing away from avalanche flow direc-tion and structural reinforcement that can withstand the impact of an ava-lanche.

With respect to the Day Lodge site, its use is also sub-ject to recommen-dations, namely a building with struc-tural reinforcement for impact pressures (less than what’s rec-ommended for the Service Building), explosive control with remote fixed explod-ers to reduce ava-lanche hazard, and an evacuation plan to reduce potential

residual avalanche risk to workers and the public “within and outside the build-ing.”

The report goes on to say that “protection of workers and the public in and around the Day Lodge will require implementa-tion of an avalanche safety plan, which will include explosive avalanche control and an evacuation plan implemented by trained, experienced and licensed ava-lanche technicians.”

Other Canadian resorts are located in potential avalanche areas, including Sunshine Village’s day lodge and parking area in Banff, Whitewater Ski Resort in Nelson and Mount Norquay in Banff.

The Jumbo Glacier Resort council meet-ing scheduled for this week has been can-celled.

Cranbrook TownsmanPlans are off the ground for a

2016 airshow, with a special teaser this summer that will include fly-overs of two vintage WWII planes — a twin-engine B25 “Mitchell” bomber, which visited Cranbrook last summer, and a B17 “Flying Fortress” bomber.

“This is a new contractor we’re working with out of Calgary,” explained CAO Wayne Staudt at Monday’s meeting. “He’s prepared to do some preliminary activity in 2015, including getting the Snowbirds flying over and some other things.”

The vintage planes will take to the air in mid-July, while the Snowbirds — accompanied by a CF 18 fighter and a CF Buffalo aircraft — are scheduled for mid-August.

Planning for the Canadian Rockies International Airshow is underway and on Wednesday, April 22, the Cranbrook International Airshow Society will meet at 7 p.m. at the old airport firehall. Darrell Garton, chair of the soci-ety, is inviting anyone interested to come to the meeting. They are looking for volunteers from all over the area and will be going over the details of the airshow plans.

The Canadian Rockies International Airshow is planned for Aug. 5 and 6, 2016.

The upcoming teasers this summer are meant to help raise interest in the 2016 airshow. The vintage World War II bombers are operated by the Commemorative Air Force, while the Canadian Forces operate the CF 18 and the Buffalo, as well as the Snowbirds. The August flyover will also include up to eight civilian aero-nautical performers that will offer a sample of their performances.

Among the civilian perform-ers that will be participating in the teaser are several perform-ers from the Discovery Channel television series “Airshow”. That includes series star “Super Dave” Mathieson.

Additionally, the executive pro-ducer of Airshow, Mark Miller, a former resident of Cranbrook, will be in attendance this August to film the flyover as part of the television series.

As a fund raiser for the new local airshow society, WestJet has graciously donated a return ticket for two to any scheduled WestJet destination in Canada. The soci-ety will hold a raffle for tickets this summer with the proceeds going into the development of the airshow.
