With a new set of eyes, comes new equipment and advanced uro-logic surgeries that will keep more patients recovering locally instead of in hospital beds at distant city centres.

The Urology Surgical Equipment Campaign launched today through the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital's (KBRH) health founda-tion, with a goal of fostering pro-gressive urologic services for both men and women living in the region.

The $400,000 campaign is projected to last up to two years. However, with a new urologist on the way, the foundation received a sizeable donation from the Trail Hospital Auxiliary this week so updated surgical equipment can be ordered in advance of his arrival.

Dr. Michael Robinson will join the area's longtime physician Dr. Roy Livingstone in July, which means KBRH will have a team of urologic surgeons that will combine

almost three decades of practice with new equipment, techniques and skills.

What does this mean, in particu-lar, for men's health in the region?

One of the most important things, says Dr. Livingstone, is that many patients will no longer have to leave KBRH to have surgeries at hospitals in Vancouver or Kelowna.

“That's the biggest factor,” noted Livingstone, who's been the sole Trail-based urologist for 25 years.

“We were lacking equipment to do certain procedures which we will be able to do with Dr. Robinson. With his training he will be bringing some new procedures too, so it's a combination of both those things.”

New treatments that Dr. Robinson will introduce at KBRH include expanded laparoscopic tech-niques, such as removal of a kidney, explained Livingstone.

“We have a new laser that has been used for gall bladders, for example, but not kidneys.”

Running from big explosions, jumping out of helicopters or flying through the air are just part of an average day for Garvin Cross.

The Rossland resident is a Hollywood stuntman and has spent the last few weeks filming in Vancouver, but now it is time for him to come home and share his industry knowledge with young filmmakers in the Kootenays.

On Saturday, Cross, along with Scott Carlson of Juicy Studios in Rossland, will be teaching an all-day filmmaking and stunt work-shop to teens age 12 to 19, in con-junction with the West Kootenay U19 Film Festival, which is opening on May 2.

The crash course in moviemak-ing will cover stunt safety, dramatic camera angles and honing a story.

Cross says that with the natural resources in the area aspiring mov-iemakers have plenty to film, but he wants to help them hone their process and teach new techniques.

“It is about building a founda-tion for kids who are already film-ing mountain bike and ski jumps,” he said. “It is important to take the next step with them and show them storytelling to go along with the stunts.”

Cross has plenty experience in the field, having worked on mov-ies like “Rumble in The Bronx”, “Inception”, Watchmen and “Fantastic Four.”

Lyndon Duperron from Trail did his best not to fall in the river while building an inukshuk on the beach on a sunny Saturday at Gyro Park. The park was abuzz with locals and visitors going for hikes, walking their dogs or just spending some time in the sun.

FROM PAGE 1“I don’t want people to

have Kodak courage,” he said, referring to the urge to get dangerous for the sake of a movie.

“It starts with jumping off a cliff for a shot, but you have got to have that safe landing.

“We don’t want the course to be all about stunts. Instead of teaching them how to make anoth-er mountain bike piece or another ski film, I want to teach how to cut a shot to make a stunt look danger-ous when it isn’t.”

Once safety behind the scenes is covered, Cross says the next step is to tell a story through camera angles, zooming and more.

“We will be helping them figure our how to shoot camera angles that help cre-ate suspense, or help cre-ate humour,” he said, add-ing that a dramatic camera zoom can add more emotion

and meaning to a shot. “It is about using the

camera to create excite-

ment or passion or even to slow things down to create beauty.”

The final product at the end of the day-long filming workshop will be a comedy with some light stunts in there, but Cross says the event is about having fun and getting outside.

“It is going to be fun too,” he said.

“It isn’t going to be a day in the classroom. It is going to be fast and furious and we are going to help (the film-makers) express themselves. We are going to be shoot-ing outside and engaging everyone in the project. You can do a ski or mountain bike movie, but let’s make it more attractive.”

Presently, Cross is a sea-soned veteran in the stunt-man world, but he got his start before there were any cameras to capture him jumping out of that air-plane.

“I was working up at (Red

Mountain) and didn’t want to be a ski bum my whole life, so I went to Europe,” he said. “When I got back, I started doing smoke jumps – parachuting out of a plane or helicopter into a forest fire, so I’ve always had the bug.”

His passion for safety during a stunt also came from smoke jumping before his movie career began.

“When people are jump-ing into their areas to fight a fire, there is so much plan-ning involved,” he said. “We had to have a plan. You have to know your levels and your talent and understand the forethought that goes into a stunt.”

To get in on Cross’ 30 years of stuntman experi-ence, visit www.u19filmfest.com/workshops and fill out the form. Registration is $25 and includes lunch. The workshop runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is open to film buffs age 12 to 18.

FROM PAGE 1 “We’ve been having to

send patients to Vancouver so this campaign will help us get new equipment to expand the use of that laser.”

In advance of Dr. Robinson’s arrival, the health foundation is hoping to raise $150,000 by mid-summer.

“Although the foundation will gladly receive donations for the urology campaign until the $400,000 goal is reached,” says health foun-dation director Lisa Pasin. “We are encouraging those interested to donate early in the campaign, to ensure our new physician will have the necessary equipment on site and ready.”

Treatment of urological diseases at KBRH, like kidney cancer, will be advanced in tandem with updated opera-tive equipment, which is less risky and requires less recov-ery time than “open” surger-ies.

“New laparoscopic equip-ment, like the harmonic

scalpel will enable our new surgeon to perform mini-mally invasive surgery to treat kidney cancer,” explains Jane Cusden, KBRH’s acute health service director. “In addition to the acquisition of new laparoscopic equipment, updating of open surgical instruments will allow sur-gical treatment of prostate and bladder cancer without patients having to travel out-side the area.”

Aside from specific cancer therapies, treatment of renal stones and benign prostate disease will also be improved with new equipment.

“New flexible uretero-scopes will greatly increase the number of patients who can have their kidney stones treated locally,” noted Cusden.

She said additional flexible “scopes” will further improve the diagnosis and manage-ment of benign prostrate dis-ease, bladder cancer, and aid in preoperative planning for prostate diseases.

While both men and women requiring urologic assessment and care will benefit, Cusden maintains that the urology campaign is timely, given the spotlight on men’s health through relatively new initiatives like “Movember,” which raises money for men’s unique health challenges, like pros-tate cancer.

“This is a multi-fac-eted area of medicine that requires a multi-disciplinary team approach, of which the urologist is a key member,” she said. “Having the req-uisite surgical equipment to deliver a broad spectrum of contemporary urologic care further enhances the ability to deliver high quality care in the field of men’s health.”

A urologist is a physician with specialized knowledge and skill regarding prob-lems of the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive organs

Issues that a urologist may manage include male infer-

tility, androgen replacement therapies, sexual health and benign prostate disease, as well as prostate and testicular malignancies.

For information or to donate contact the KBRH Health Foundation toll free at 1.888.364.3424, locally at 250.364.3424 or email [email protected].

Formerly called the Trail Regional Hospital Foundation, the KBRH foun-dation is in its 27th year of raising money to advance health care in the Kootenay Boundary.

The foundation revenue, over $13 million to date, is generated through donations from private and corporate donors.

Funding priorities include raising endowed gifts and annual funds to support health care equipment needs, staff education, and special initiatives to enhance health care through the Trail hos-pital and other Kootenay Boundary facilities.

There is just under a month left to sub-mit nomination forms for the the Knights of Columbus 2014 Trail-Warfield Citizen of the Year, honouring community service and volun-teerism.

Brian Volpatti, a member of the Citizen of the Year Committee, says that annual accolade is important to the community because it recog-nizes those who give hours of their time without receiving anything in return.

“It is all about volunteers,” he said. “There are so many volunteers in Trail and Warfield and some of them are visible, but many stay behind-the-scenes and do just as much work. They spend a lot of time helping others.”

Nomination packages can be picked up in a list of locations around the Trail and Warfield area including Kootenay Savings branches, the Trail and District Public Library, Trail's municipal office, Warfield's village office and churches all over Trail.

“We try to cover all of our bases,” said Volpatti, adding that the Citizen of the Year designation isn't just open to retirement age residents. “They don't have to be retirees or older people. It can be a young person as well. There are lots of young people who do a lot of good work in the area.”

The award will be handed out to the winner in a ceremony that coincides with the annual Silver City Days celebrations – Trail's week-long festival in early May.

The deadline for nominations is April 2 at 12 p.m. and packages can be dropped off at Trail's city hall. For more information on the nomina-tion process, call Volpatti at 250-364-1445.

Bear Creek well and pump house in Waneta are getting shut down today for upgrades and repairs.

The shutdown will last approximately two months to make improvements in efficiency and reservoir capacity with a planned reopen-ing on April 30, according to a City of Trail press release from Monday.

While the well is undergoing work, resi-dents in Shavers Bench, Miral Heights, Glenmerry and Waneta will be receiving their household water directly from the city's water treatment plant rather than the pump house.

City officials say some people, “may notice a chlorine odour,” in their water during the scheduled maintenance, but suggest filling an open-top container with the tap water and leaving it overnight in the fridge to get rid of the smell.

Anyone with questions about water or the water treatment plant call 250-364-0842.

The average Okanagan resident may be reveling in the record breaking warmth of February, but the valley’s fruit growers are a little less pleased.

“The weather has been causing some concern…this is the last week of February and the lilacs are starting to bush and I can see that coloured hue in the peaches next door,” said Fred Steele, president of the BC Fruit Growers’ Association.

“The sap is starting to run and the trees are starting to wake up.”

One potential problem with the reawakening is that March could bring winter back with a heavy frost, and those now vulnerable trees won’t be able to withstand the change.

“Back in the winter of 1949, we had double digit temperatures in daytime and then double digit below zero in the evenings,” Steele said, noting that was back in the days of farenheit.

“It killed thousands of trees. Split

them right in half.”The other potential problem of escal-

ating warmth is that the growing season could be adversely affected.

There are times in the growing sea-son where you get that heat, and every-thing slows down to a crawl,” he said.

“It’s when the temperature drops down again, they grow and change col-our.”

Both size and colour impact the buy-ing price of a crop.

And then there are issues about tim-ing sprays, and life cycle of the bugs that plague trees.

“Basically this is an unsettled year—we don’t know what’s coming,” he said, pointing out that crop insurance is par-ticularly important this year.

In the meantime, farmers are hoping temperatures will cool down to sea-sonal norms, and little rain will fol-low. They’re also going to enjoy what’s turned out to be a particularly pleasant pruning season.

“The reason for (the warm month) is

a broad scale upper ridge sitting over B.C,” said said Lisa Coldwells, a meteor-ologist with Environment Canada..

That upper ridge works sort of like an umbrella for the Southern Interior, she explained. It’s pushing up warmer temperatures from the southern part of the province while shielding the region from weather across the mountain ridges that separate it from Alberta.

It’s meant that Kelowna had record breaking temperatures throughout the month. On Feb. 6 the temp was 11.6 C, which broke a record of 5.7 C on the same day in 2009.

Next, on Feb. 8 mercury rose to 12.1 C, and broke the record of 8.6 C set that day in 1998. On Feb. 11, temperatures peaked at 9.2 C and that broke the old record of 7.6 C set in 1998.

Then things got really steamy. On Valentine’s Day temperature highs were 13.2 C, breaking a 9 C record set in 2003. Then, Feb. 15 temperatures came in at 10.7 C, breaking a record of 9.7 set in 1994.

Alleged abuse of on-ice officials has resulted in the father of a Merritt Centennials hockey player being banned from his son’s games for the rest of this season and facing possible legal charges as well.

The case involved an incident in the rear parking lot of the South Okanagan Events Centre following the Feb. 20 B.C. Hockey League game between the Centennials and Penticton Vees.

According to a report filed with Penticton RCMP by Derek Adams, director of officiat-ing for the BCHL, the unidentified Kamloops man reportedly confronted the officials after they exited the building.

“It appears the man became very abusive to the referees and it says in the report that no direct (physical confrontation) occurred because the suspect was able to be controlled by his son,” said Sgt. Rick Dellebuur.

“In order to be a threat it has to be some-thing that that would cause a person to fear he was going to be harmed.”

The investigation is still in the initial stages and as of yet no decision has been made about charges.

“Nobody likes to see stuff like that, and yes, it’s an emotional game and all that but we want to make sure our referees are protected,” said BCHL Commissioner John Grisdale.

“From a league side we don’t condone that and we prohibited him from being in the arenas for the rest of the season and we’ve made that direction to the Merritt hockey club.

“I would encourage officials that when they leave the buildings to go out into the parking lot, if they feel threatened in any way shape or form, verbally or physically they need to deal with it through the police. Officials take abuse all the time and it’s not acceptable.

“It’s unfortunate, because nobody gets paid enough, especially at the Junior A level, to go through that.”

Grisdale added he does not recall a similar incident happening in the league prior to this.

“It’s the end of the season with the play-offs coming up and games get important and it’s emotional but this is not good for anybody,” he said.

Parents abuse of opposing players and officials is increasingly under the micro-scope these days, especially following the ban of five parents of midget-aged players from attending their sons game by the Vancouver Island Amateur Association for their actions.

B y s t e p h t r o u g h t o nSurrey News Leader

Both the Surrey and Delta school districts are stunned by the recent provincial budget announcement that requires school districts prov-incewide to reduce spending on administration and related services by $29 million in the upcoming school year and a further $25 mil-lion in 2016-2017.

Longtime Surrey school Trustee Laurae McNally called the govern-ment directive “completely unfair,” saying the province is “penalizing” Surrey with the funding reduction as the district already has the lowest administrative costs of any of the 60 school districts in the province.

“And it has been that way for years,” McNally said. “You can’t get any lower than number one.”

Though Surrey, the biggest dis-trict in the province, already has an efficient administrative budget-ing record – and is forced to spend more than $4 million in funding on portable classrooms annually due to a lack of school space – trustees are concerned the province will divide the mandated cuts equally among

the B.C. districts.Surrey presently has more than

300 portables and must not only pay for the buildings, but for their depreciation, upkeep, utilities servi-cing and cleaning.

The Surrey School District wrote Education Minister Peter Fassbender about the concerns but have yet to receive a response.

Fassbender, however, did issue a public statement Thursday.

“We have to do this (challenge school boards to find administrative savings) because, while we’re put-ting more into the system, in spite of declining student enrolment, school districts are spending more money on administration than ever before,” he wrote.

“All we’re asking school districts to do is to find administrative sav-ings to reflect the percentage they were spending 10 years ago – about six per cent.”

Delta school district chairperson Laura Dixon also said the announce-ment was disappointing and came as a complete surprise.

“We are at a bit of a loss where we would go to find these efficiencies.”

t h e c a n a D i a n p r e s sVANCOUVER - Search crews have

recovered a pair of hypothermic climbers in the third rescue on the same North Shore mountain since Saturday.

The search was executed after the two men in their mid-20s failed to return from an expedition on Crown Mountain.

Mike Danks of North Shore Rescue says the men were quickly located and crews were sent in from Grouse Mountain and Lynne Headwaters at first light Monday.

Danks says the men are uninjured but very hypothermic after spending the night on the mountain in a hole they dug in the snow.

North Shore Rescue executed two separate rescues on Crown Mountain Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SINNISFAIL, Alta.

- More than a dozen wild Alberta horses that were auctioned off over the weekend have been saved from the slaughterhouse.

The Innisfail Auction Market says it made sure the 14 animals, which were among 33 wild horses captured in the Ghost River area west of Calgary last month, were sold only to ranchers, farmers or private individuals.

The rest were in the care of rescuers with the hope they will eventually be adopted.

Bob Henderson of

the Wild Horses of Alberta Society had feared the animals that went to auction would end up as meat, noting older wild horses are difficult to tame.

The organiza-tion works with the Alberta government to manage its wild horse population, which the province says dam-ages grasslands used for livestock grazing and by wildlife such

as elk.The government

says the horses are descendants of domes-tic animals used in logging and mining operations in the early 1900s.

“These horses are in better shape than most people that have been feeding horses,” said Danny Daines from the Innisfail Auction Market.

“We have a Walt Disney ending here.”

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SMONTREAL - Between Ontario and

Quebec deep freezes, the Maritime snow-pocalypse, and British Columbia’s early spring, February was a month of extreme weather.

In general, temperatures across Quebec and southern Ontario were seven to nine degrees colder than the historic averages.

Quebec experienced the coldest February since at least 1889 - for example, Montreal recorded an average temperature of -14.9 C, compared to an average of -8.5 C.

Other parts of the province fared even worse, with Quebec City reporting a tem-perature of -17.8 C.

Environment Canada meteorologist Maxime Desharnais says it was the persis-tent cold and wind that set this year apart.

He said a jet stream of frigid air from the Northwest Territories kept a cold air mass trapped over parts of Ontario and Quebec for most of the month.

“The physics of the atmosphere just meant it took a long time to move,” he said.

Ottawa recorded its coldest-ever February, with an average temperature of -16.8 C, shattering the former record set in 1979.

In Toronto, it was the first February in 75 years where the temperature did not climb above the freezing mark.

Many Maritimers spent most of the month digging out after record snowfalls. Both Halifax and Moncton recorded more than double the average amount of snow for the month.

Charlottetown was buried under more than seven feet of snow (222.8 cm), includ-ing nearly 90 cm in a single storm that hit PEI’s capital on February 16th.

By comparison, residents of British Columbia’s lower mainland have had rea-son to gloat as they experienced weather that was comparatively springlike.

The province as a whole was three to five degrees warmer than normal, which Desharnais said was “very significant.”

Vancouver recorded an average temper-ature of 7.5 C, with temperatures climbing to 14 C on some days in February.

Men who built Toronto mystery tunnel wanted place to ‘hang out,’ police say

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

tery tunnel discov-ered near a Pan Am Games venue in north Toronto was built by two men who wanted a place to “hang out,” police said Monday.

The pair, who were tracked down thanks to tips from the public, told investigators they built the tunnel for “personal reasons” and their explanation has been verified, Const. Victor Kwong said.

Kwong said police have determined there was never any crim-inal intent or danger to public safety, and no charges will be laid.

“It literally was

these two guys who had an idea to create a place to themselves to hang out in,” he said.

“You think about a kid making a fort, dig-ging a hole - add 15 years to that,” he said.

Kwong said the men are not believed to be survivalists, add-ing they just “wanted to dig a tunnel.”

The men had “no idea” they weren’t allowed to dig in a public park and were apologetic during their interview with police, he said.

Toronto bylaw enforcement said they would look into whether any city rules had been breached and

whether any tickets or fines would be issued.

Police are not releasing the men’s names, or any further details since the case is not a criminal investi-gation, but Kwong said there is no connection to York University, near the site where the tunnel was found, or the Pan Am Games.

Toronto police announced the dis-covery of the tun-nel on Feb. 24 and released photos of the site, prompting media coverage across Canada and abroad.

The bunker, discov-ered in January by a conservation officer in a densely wooded area,

is located 25 metres from the fence of the Rexall Centre, which is to host tennis events for the summer’s Pan Am Games.

Inside, police say they found plywood wall supports, a gener-ator and a sump pump, as well as a rosary with a Remembrance Day poppy nailed to a wall.

Police said the chamber was almost two metres high, 86 centimetres wide and 10 metres long.

Even though the bunker “looked impressive,” the men have no formal train-ing in construction, Kwong said.

Deputy police Chief Mark Saunders had said there was no evi-

dence to suggest any criminal intent in the tunnel’s construction, adding “there’s no criminal offence for digging a hole.”

But he asked for the public’s help in solving the mystery and said police would continue to investigate until they discovered who built it, and that other authorities - includ-ing national and inter-national security agen-cies - were notified.

The discovery of what has become known as the “mystery tunnel” made inter-national headlines, while social media bubbled with theories that ranged from zom-bie hideouts to afford-able housing.alberta

OPINION

Pay down that student loan or elseIn a recent speech,

Premier Christy Clark quipped that while teenagers tend to be

lazy, there is a limit.If your kid is still on

the couch after age 30, she said, he’s not a teen-ager any more. “He’s a New Democrat.”

Clark’s ‘get off the couch and get a job’ mes-sage is now being trans-lated into government policy.

The B.C. government is using one of the few tools available to it to track down people who aren’t paying off their student loans, by linking default-ed debt to driver’s licence renewals.

There are “hardship” provisions for those who don’t have a job. ICBC will only refuse to renew a driver’s licence or vehicle plates for those who have let their student debt go for a year without mak-ing some effort to deal with it.

Student debt collection is a long-standing prob-

lem for the province, with about $185 million cur-rently on the books as defaulted and unpaid.

Students naturally move around after com-pleting their studies, and once the six-month grace period for beginning to repay student loans expires, finding those who aren’t paying becomes a costly effort.

Historically govern-ments sent defaulted debt to collection agencies. Last year $17.3 million was collected.

How big is student debt these days? The subject was discussed briefly in the legislature last week.

In question period, NDP leader John Horgan reminded the government that tuition fees have doubled over the past dec-ade, and cited a Bank of Montreal estimate that the average university student emerges from a four-year program owing $35,000 in student loans.

With his usual mod-esty and tact, Advanced

Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson dis-missed Horgan’s accusa-tion that he is indifferent to the plight of students. Wilkinson noted that the Bank of Montreal sur-veyed 602 students across Canada, and only 78 of them were in B.C.

“To clarify this, and to address the cackling chickens on the other side, we have 430,000 students in our system,” Wilkinson said.

“Some of them are part-time; some of them are on short courses. We have 180,000 students

who are in the system full-time and eligible for student aid.

“Of those 180,000 stu-dents, 45,000 turn to the province for financial aid – meaning that 75 per cent of students, more than what was quoted on the CBC yesterday, go through their education without incurring debt through the provincial student aid program.”

Whatever the amount owing is for an individ-ual, it’s a debt that will be more difficult to avoid paying.

The province has long used the withholding of driving privileges to col-lect unpaid provincial court fines, and that was recently extended to those who are 90 days in arrears on $25 or more worth of Lower Mainland bridge tolls.

This student debt collection move fol-lows efforts to match up post-secondary funding to areas of employment demand. In an era where

misguided university pro-fessors use their positions to organize violent pro-tests against job-creating projects, the messages are similar.

Variations of this pro-ductivity theme are being heard from governments across North America.

The baby boomers are retiring.

We are bringing in temporary foreign work-ers, not because of some right-wing plot, but because too many people growing up in our society refuse to do an increasing range of jobs.

We have an education system – and media – that encourages people to com-plain and make demands to get what they want.

And we are seeing the results of all of this.

There was a U.S. presi-dent once who said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

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

The article about the com-munity garden in the Gulch (Trail council weighs in on growing season, Trail Times Feb. 12) and the mayor’s response (Letter to the Editor, Trail Times, Feb. 27) of “it’s location on a busy highway with associated noise and other safety concerns may not make it

the preferred location” deserves another response.

Why then was the safety concern not given as much consideration when it came to deciding on the skate park loca-tion when the Gulch is clearly not the preferred location for a skate park with children and young adults enjoying their

sport and even some older ones, drugs and alcohol lurking near-by, crossing busy roads and on a truckers route.

The only clear choice for the skate park is Gyro but any-where safer is better than in the Gulch.

Marie MacLeodRossland

Not good for a garden, but good for skatepark?

“Every time I call (my mother),” said Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov recently, “she

gives me a talking-to: ‘When will you stop being rude about Putin? He’ll kill you.’”

Now Nemtsov is dead: four bullets in the back as he was walking home in Moscow with his girlfriend on Friday night. The protest march against Putin and the war in Ukraine that he was plan-ning to lead on Sunday became a memorial march instead.

So, two q u e s t i o n s . Did President Vladimir Putin order the assassination? And if he didn’t, then who did, and why?

The hit was carried out with professional skill only three minutes’ walk from Red Square, St. Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin, in an area that is infested day and night by militia (police) on constant alert to break up demonstra-tions. You could put together a feature-length film with the footage from the countless CCTV cameras that tracked Nemtsov’s walk across the square and down to the bridge where he died.

It took accurate intelli-gence to know where Nemtsov would be on Friday night, and serious organization and plan-ning to carry out the killing in such a heavily policed area. That points to members of the military or security forces, though not necessarily to ones who were acting on official orders. Because the first thing to say about this murder is that it did not serve Putin’s purposes.

No doubt the Russian presi-dent disliked and despised Nemtsov, but neither he nor

any other opposition leader posed any threat to Putin’s power. Thanks in large part to his seizure of Crimea and his military intervention in eastern Ukraine, Putin is cur-rently enjoying an 85 per-cent approval rating with the Russian public. Why risk upsetting this happy relation-

ship with the first public killing of a senior political figure in more than a decade?

It’s much more likely that the killing was carried out by serving or former soldiers or intelligence offi-cers who took it upon themselves to eliminate an

“anti-patriotic” politician who condemned “Putin’s War” in Ukraine. In the superheated atmosphere of nationalist paranoia that currently pre-vails in Russia, such people could easily imagine that they were doing just what Putin secretly wanted.

As for the rest of the world (or at least the “western” part of the world), it has already written Putin off as a man you can do business with. The Russian leader is, in many Westerners’ eyes, an expan-sionist warlord who can only be contained by sanctions and threats. It may even take a new Cold War to stop him. Paranoia, alas, is a communic-able disease.

The Western narrative that seeks to explain how, in less than a year, we have arrived at a point where the United States is contemplating sup-plying heavy weapons to Ukraine to kill Russian troops, has several large gaps. The first is that the revolution on the Maidan in Kiev last winter overthrew a legitimately elect-ed Ukrainian president only a year before the next elections

were due.Putin initially accepted

that outcome (with the elec-tions moved up to only one month in the future), which was brokered by the European Union. In other words, he accepted the illegal overthrow of the pro-Moscow president, Viktor Yanukovych, so long as free elections followed rapid-ly. Quite possibly because he thought Yanukovych’s sup-porters in the east might boost him back into the presi-dency again.

That same thought may also be why the revolution-aries in Kiev broke the deal and insisted on Yanukovych’s immediate removal from power. It was only then that Putin concluded that he was faced with a Western plot to whisk Ukraine into NATO and create a strategic and political threat on Russia’s southern frontier.

There was no such plot: NATO has not the slightest desire to assume responsibil-ity for the defence of Ukraine. But there was a great deal of open Western rejoicing at Russia’s discomfiture, and Putin lost his custom-ary cool and responded with the annexation of Crimea and then the encouragement of pro-Russian rebels in south-eastern Ukraine.

“Absolute power corrupts absolutely,” said Lord Acton. “All great men are bad.” In that sense, Putin is a bad man, and more dangerous for being both paranoid and increas-ingly isolated. (His circle of advisers has dwindled to a handful of hawks.) But he is not planning to conquer even Ukraine, let alone the rest of the former Soviet empire, and he almost certainly did not order Nemtsov’s death.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVULCAN, Alta. - The

tiny town of Vulcan, Alta., virtually tripled in size the day that actor Leonard Nimoy detoured from a comic book convention in 2010 to visit the com-munity that has cos-mically connected itself to his Star Trek character, Mr. Spock.

And so it was fond memories of the man, and his humanity, that prompted feelings of personal loss in resi-dents upon learning of his death on Friday, at age 83.

“We’re all griev-ing,” said Shannon Clarke, with the Vulcan Tourism and Trek Station, recalling Nimoy’s springtime visit five years ago. “He

made our town feel really important.

“He just captured all of our hearts. Genuinely, a wonder-ful man.”

A collective sad-ness rippled through the town of fewer than 2,000 people, south-east of Calgary, that shares the name of Spock’s home planet in the ground-breaking TV series.

Residents amassed emails, phone calls and Facebook posts conveying condolences from around the globe, prompting contempla-tion about his legacy.

“He was quite a gentleman,” said Mason Dodds, a pro-fessional photographer who snapped pictures of the massive turnout

of costumed fans.He recalled Nimoy’s

speech and witness-ing the unveiling of a bronze bust, describ-ing a man who beamed star-power over the entire town.

“You don’t get a crowd of this size and have that many people show up and that not have an impact on you,” he said. “For one guy to come here for two hours and have that kind of response...”

Star Trek tributes are commonplace throughout Vulcan, from a mural painted along a lengthy brick-wall to the Starfleet insignia emblazoning several sidewalks.

The postmaster cancels outgoing mail with a stamp of the Starship Enterprise, while Star Trek-themed hotel rooms are booked solid dur-ing an annual Spock Days Festival.

Nimoy took it upon himself to assist the town gain official licensing with CBS to be named the Star Trek Capital of Canada, said Clarke.

He also ensured four busloads of resi-dent fans were whisked

to preview a new Star Trek film in Calgary - after failing in his bid to have Vulcan host the 2009 premiere - because the town doesn’t have its own theatre.

Business owner Louise Christie, who’s lived in Vulcan for 15 years, said Nimoy’s support and advocacy was an economic boon to the community.

“Any small town in Alberta will tell you, if you can find some-thing to get people to visit you, then you’ve got to find it, right? And this has just been a godsend, really.

“The man has helped to put the town on the map.”

Residents agreed they aren’t looking to cash in on Nimoy’s death, but they expect his passing to spur a resurgence in interest that will potentially be financially lucrative.

The town is likely to host a memorial, said Clarke. She also expects a surge of visitors for an upcom-ing July Vul-Con expo.

But while she’s hopeful the loss will again bring their com-munity together, she said it was devastating

Nimoy died only one year before the Star Trek series’ 50th anni-versary.

“It would have been really nice if he had held on ... so he could have been around for that,” she said.

Residents said they expect an ongoing commemoration of Nimoy’s life that will continue to illuminate their town.

“Mr. Nimoy’s visit to us here was cer-tainly a highlight to the community,” said Dodds. “Those that got to witness it will never forget.”

Actor’s death touches little Alberta town

minnie minoso

Major Leaguer

played five decades

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SCHICAGO - Minnie

Minoso, who hit a two-run home run in his first at-bat when he became major league baseball’s first black player in Chicago in 1951, has died, the Cook County medical examiner said Sunday.

The medical exa-miner’s office did not immediately offer fur-ther details. The White Sox say he was 92.

Minoso played 12 of his 17 seasons in Chicago, hitting .304 with 135 homers and 808 RBIs for the White Sox. The White Sox retired his No. 9 in 1983 and there is a statue of Minoso at U.S. Cellular Field.

Minoso, regarded as baseball’s first black Latino star, was a Havana native who spent most of his career in left field. He is one of only two play-ers to appear in a major league game in five dif-ferent decades. He got his final hit in 1976 at age 53 and went 0 for 2 in two games in 1980 for the White Sox, who tried unsuccess-fully over the years to get the “Cuban Comet” into baseball’s Hall of Fame.

BY JIM BAILEYTimes Sports Editor

After eliminating the Nelson Leafs on Thursday, 4-3, in double overtime, the Beaver Valley Nitehawks played their first game of the best-of-seven Neil Murdoch division final against the Castlegar Rebels on Monday and will face off for Game 2 tonight at 7 p.m. at the Hawks Nest. (Unfortunately, due to the lateness of the game, the Monday night score was unavailable at press time.)

The Rebels beat the Braves, 4-2, in Game 6 of their divisional playoff Friday to win the semifinal series four games to two to and move onto the division final against the Hawks.

“It’s always fun,” said Nitehawks assistant coach Kevin Limbert. “A great rivalry, and it’s going to be high paced, and it’s going to be good quality hockey so I’m looking forward to it.”

The Nitehawks won the regular season series over the second-seed Rebels 5-2, however, two of those games were decided in overtime and, given the historic and intense rivalry, the series won’t be easy for either team.

“They have some skilled guys, and obviously a couple good goaltenders for sure, but we’re mostly concerned with how we play, and making sure we bring our best game to the table,” said Limbert. “They are going to work hard, and play a physical game so we have to make sure we match that intensity, and are playing physical as well.”

In Thursday’s match, the Nitehawks overcame a 2-0 deficit in the third period to comeback and defeat the Nelson Leafs 4-3 in double overtime to win the Neil Murdoch division semi-final series, four-games-to-one.

“It was a hard-fought ser-ies,” said Limbert. “I don’t think the final, 4-game-to-1, was indicative of the play, every game was close, two went to overtime, and they

battled hard and we battled hard, and it was a great ser-ies.”

Nitehawks forward Spencer McLean was the overtime hero in Game 5, taking a pass from Mitch Foyle and wiring a shot top corner on Leaf AP goalie Jason Mailhiot at 8:52 for the double overtime winner.

“Foyler just threw a pass at me, and the first thing I thought was just throw it on net, took a slap shot and (Nelson d-man) St. Pierre got his stick on it, and it just went in,” said McLean after the game.

The OT goal ended a physical series in which the Leafs, despite a rash of injur-ies, pushed the Nitehawks to the limit in almost every game, adding another chap-ter to the bitter rivalry. It was McLean’s second goal of the game, after scoring what looked to be the game win-ner midway through the third to put the Hawks up 3-2, until Nelson’s Robson Cramer tied it with just 25 seconds remaining in regulation.

“For not having very many guys, they (Nelson) really worked hard,” said Nitehawks coach Terry Jones. “They have some great hockey players, and in some respects I just hate shaking the kids hands, because it’s their last game, and knowing those guys just gave it all they had out there.”

After a slow start, the Hawks got back on track in the second period, out-shooting the Leafs 13-8, but couldn’t beat Mailhiot. However, a 5-on-3 penalty kill, highlighted by an incredible save by Schamerhorn, was the TSN turning point. The Leafs had a glorious oppor-tunity to go up 3-0 when Miller sent a cross-ice pass to Leafs’ Dylan Williamson who blasted it at the open cage, but Schamerhorn dove across and robbed the Leafs forward with a glove save. The stop would keep the period score-less, and set up the Hawks comeback in the third.

Hawks face Rebels in division final

BY JIM BAILEYTimes Sports Effort

The Trail Smoke Eaters ended their season on a winning note beat-ing the Merritt Centennials 5-2 in Merritt on Saturday.

Dexter McLeod would net the winner at 5:26 of the second period on the power play, taking a Dallas Calvin pass down low and tapping it home to put the Smokies up 3-1.

“We were facing a team that was already preparing for playoffs, and they played hard, but I thought to get the result we did, for the effort we put forward, was appropriate to end our season on a good note,” said Smoke Eater coach Nick Deschenes. “Again, you question deep down how certain teams are in it, and we’re not.”

The Centennials clinched a playoff berth and third seed in the Interior division with a 5-1 victory over Salmon Arm on Friday night in a playoff race that went down to the final game. The Silverbacks lost their chance at the post season when they fell to the league leading Penticton Vees 2-1 in overtime in their last match on Saturday, and West Kelowna beat the league’s worst team, the Surrey Eagles, 6-2, to edge the Salmon Arm by one point for the fourth and final playoff spot.

Craig Martin opened the scoring at 9:55 of the first period beating Anthony Pupplo with a wrist shot,

and Jake Lucchini would score his 35th of the season to make it 2-0 just 48 seconds later. The Centennials would get one back before the end of the period, after Trail goalie Brett Clark made a great save off Gavin Gould, John Schiavo would shovel in the rebound to make it 2-1.

Following McLeod’s game winner, Calvin would get one of his own with under five minutes to play in the middle frame to make it 4-1 heading to the third where the teams would exchange goals, with Sheldon Brett scoring for Trail, to end the regular season.

Merritt outshot Trail 28-19, with Lucchini getting the game’s first star, and McLeod, and Calvin second and third stars respectively.

The game ended what was a disappointing year for the Smoke Eaters. After a promising start, injur-ies took their toll, contributing to an extended midseason slump that all but decided their playoff fate.

“We are going up against some very stiff competition . . . it’s a little bit different then say the NHL, where they have a strong farm system,” said Deschenes. “We have an affiiation process, but it’s tough to find players sometimes, and obviously they’re not involved in your day-to-day oper-ations, so for them to come in and make a difference in our game is a pretty nerve-racking experience . . . So injuries definitely have more

impact at the junior level, and if you look at our AP games, you could add about 20 because we didn’t dress a lot of the spots going down the stretch, we are looking at 80-90 AP games which is ridiculous. Penticton has 20 I think, and Vernon 25 and that’s with guys going to World Junior challenges. It is what it is, I’d love to have everyone healthy and going, but that’s the nature of sports.”

The Centennials start their play-off on Tuesday versus the Vernon Vipers, while the Warriors play the Penticton Vees in the best of seven Interior division semfinal.

In the Mainland division playoff bracket, the Chilliwack Chiefs went from worst to first this season, fin-ishing atop their division with 79 points compared to 35 last season. The Chiefs, with former Smoke Eater captain Scott Davidson, will play fourth-seed Coquitlam Express start-ing tonight, while the second-seed Langley Rivermen host the Prince George Spruce Kings.

In the Island division, the first-place Nanaimo Clippers face the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, and the surging Victoria Grizzlies, who won seven games in a row to end the sea-son, will face third-seed Powell River Spruce Kings in the other playoff match up.

Watch for the Smokies season wrap up later this week in the Trail Times.

The Trail Junior Curling Club held its annual one-day bonspiel on Feb. 14, with 11 teams from Nelson, Castlegar, Rossland, and Trail hitting the ice at the Trail Curling club. Trail’s Joe Issel rink (above) won the novice div-ision going undefeated, while the Glen Kline Rink from Castlegar won the intermediate division. The Issel rink includes from left: Jordan Cherrington, Joseph Issel, Darrin Issel, and Neil Murdoch.

FROM PAGE 11 “I was a little bit

(worried), and I wasn’t happy with how we were playing,” said Jones. “I mean we weren’t getting any-thing to the net, and their goalie was play-ing great, he was see-ing everything.

“We just didn’t have any traffic but you know once we scored the first one I really thought that if we got one we’d be okay.”

David Nemes got the Hawks on the board at 16:54, and seven minutes later, Tyler Hartman finished a pretty 2-on-1 with Brayden Horcoff to tie it at 2.

Ross Armour would send a pass across the slot to McLean who wired it from the left side low on Mailhiot to give the Hawks their

first lead at 7:50.It looked like the

Hawks would win it in regulation, but with the Leafs in despera-tion mode and their goalie on the bench, Cramer blasted a point shot through a screen with 25 seconds to play to tie it and force over-time.

McLean savoured the win, but the Montrose native was already looking ahead to the next round after ending the Leaf season.

“It feel awesome right now,” said McLean. “But we have to keep moving for-ward, we know what we got to do and think about the next round and forget about this one.”

Beaver Valley plays the Rebels tonight for Game 2 of the Neil Murdoch division final at 7 p.m. at the Beaver Valley Arena.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVANCOUVER - After listening to what other

teams had to offer, Jim Benning decided the current Vancouver Canucks squad deserves the chance to make a playoff push.

“We are happy with our team,” the Canucks’ general manager said after Monday’s NHL trade deadline passed. “Our players have shown a com-mitment to each other. We wanted to give this group an opportunity to see what they can do as

a team.“We talked to a lot of teams. We didn’t want

to give up our young prospects and picks for unrestricted free agents. We didn’t feel the prices were right for us to do that right now.”

The Canucks made a couple minor deals, acquiring forward Cory Conacher from the New York Islanders and forward Sven Baertschi from the Calgary Flames. Vancouver set Dustin Jeffrey, the leading scoring from their American Hockey League team in Utica to the Islanders and gave up a second-round draft pick in 2015 for Baertschi.

Both players will report to Vancouver’s AHL team in Utica.

Benning believes Baertschi has the potential to become a top-six forward with the Canucks in the future.

“I don’t like giving up draft picks,” said Benning. “We weighed getting Sven versus what we would get in the second round with our pick and we made the decision, let’s go ahead and do this.”

The Flames picked Baertschi 13th overall in 2011. The 22-year-old from Bern, Switzerland, has appeared in 66 NHL games for Calgary, total-ling eight goals and 20 assists.

For tHe recordIn Thursday’s Trail Times article “Wildlife

groups aid bighorns,” the quote beginning: “It is a great opportunity for anyone to see these animals . . . “, should be attributed to Josh Conci, the president of the West Kootenay Big Game Trophy Association.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - The troubled characters in

Xavier Dolan’s forceful film “Mommy” had no trouble sweeping the Canadian Screen Awards on Sunday night, when the acclaimed feature racked up nine prizes including best picture.

Dolan’s raw look at a widowed mother and her violent teenage son dominated the film categories, with the 25-year-old Quebec phenom taking best director, best editing and best ori-ginal screenplay for himself.

The wins began before the glitzy CBC broad-cast even hit the air, when an emotional Dolan was awarded the best editing and best original screenplay award in a non-televised pre-show.

“I’d love to thank my mother and dedicate this award to her, I truly mean it,” said Dolan, whose searing debut, “I Killed My Mother” was also an intense mother-son saga.

Meanwhile in the TV categories, the sci-fi clone saga “Orphan Black” loomed large, with wins for best drama and best TV drama actress for star Tatiana Maslany.

That was on top of eight other awards it won at an earlier ceremony.

“It’s such an honour to be here tonight,” Maslany said as she claimed her trophy for deftly handling a slew of disparate, cloned characters.

The CBC broadcast was hosted by a jovial Andrea Martin who kicked off proceedings with jabs at Canadian politeness and frigid temper-atures, and shoutouts to famous faces in the audience, including friend Eugene Levy and recent Oscar-winner Julianne Moore.

U.S. star John Cusack won the best sup-porting actor prize for “Maps to the Stars,” but was not on hand to accept.

In other TV wins, TMN/Movie Central’s “Call Me Fitz” capped its final season with the title of best TV comedy, besting CBC-TV’s “Mr. D,” City’s “Seed,” CTV’s “Spun Out,” and Super Channel’s “Tiny Plastic Men.”

Show creator Sheri Elwood said the win marked a bittersweet end to the raunchy ser-ies, an awards show favourite that starred Jason Priestley as a foul-mouthed sleazeball.

In other prizes, the best feature length docu-mentary award went to “Super Duper Alice Cooper.”?

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SNEW YORK - Will Smith’s con-man caper

“Focus” disrobed “Fifty Shades of Grey” at the box office, but the film’s modest $19.1 million opening still left questions about the drawing power of the once unstoppable star.

According to studio estimates Sunday, Warner Bros.’ “Focus” easily topped all competitors on a weekend with little competition at North American multiplexes. In second place was the Colin Firth spy thriller “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” which made $11.8 million in its third week of release.

After two weeks atop the box office, “Fifty Shades of Grey” continued its steep slide, land-ing in fourth with an estimated $10.9 million for Universal Pictures. “Fifty Shades,” which has made $486.2 million globally, fell just behind Paramount’s “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water,” which earned $11.2 million in its fourth week.

The weekend’s only other new wide release, Relativity’s horror film “The Lazarus Effect,” opened in fifth place with $10.6 million.

But the weekend was largely seen, fairly or not, as a referendum on Smith’s star power. “Focus,” written and directed by the “Crazy, Stupid, Love” duo Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, is Smith’s first film since 2013’s “After Earth,” the sci-fi flop in which he co-starred with his son, Jaden.

But “Focus,” made for about $50 million and co-starring Margot Robbie of “The Wolf of Wall Street,” was never intended to be a summer-sized blockbuster. It had been predicted to make around $21 million.

Some of last Sunday’s Oscar winners saw slight bumps at the box office.

Best-picture winner “Birdman (Or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)” added some 800 screens to bring in $2 million over the weekend, pushing its total past $40 million. “Still Alice,” for which Julianne Moore won best actress, added 553 screens and earned $2.7 mil-lion. It’s now made $12 million for Sony.

“American Sniper,” far and away the biggest box-office hit of the best-picture nominees, was also easily the top post-Oscars draw. It added another $7.7 million, to bring its cumulative domestic gross to $331.1 million.

Box office

‘Focus’ cools off ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’

Leisure

Dear Annie: I am a 51-year-old man and have been unemployed for the past three years. Last year, my wife asked for a divorce.

My question is: What can I do to revitalize my relationship with my three teenage chil-dren? I have to initi-ate all phone calls and texts. They never ask how I am. The young-est is forthcoming about events in his life, but my daugh-ters require extensive questioning, and all I get are brief answers. I understand that they are angry with me, but I am trying my best to get a new job and move on with my life. Every time I see them, I tell them that I miss them, but only my son says he misses me, too.

It is so frustrating that I don’t want to do this much longer. I have started applying for jobs out of state so I won’t have to deal with the disappointment. I feel that they are trying to keep me out of their

lives. If so, I should just stop trying so hard. I don’t like spending my days thinking about them and feeling hurt. What do you suggest? -- Feeling Unloved

Dear Unloved: Please do not cut your children out of your life because they are angry and confused and tak-ing it out on you. No matter how upsetting their behavior, they still need you. They also need to know that you will not give up on them.

Talk to your ex-wife. Explain how this hurts the children, and ask for her help in main-taining a better rela-tionship -- for their sakes. Your contact at

this moment in time will reflect on their feelings for you in the future, when they are more mature and able to gain perspective. We know it’s hard. Please don’t make it perma-nent.

Dear Annie: My sister and her hus-band have disowned us because we did not go to a memorial ser-vice for her husband’s brother, who passed away after a long battle with cancer.

My wife and I saw this brother once every few years at family occasions. We were never at his home. The day of the service, my sister called and asked whether I was coming. I said no, that I had other things going on, and she hung up.

We are in our late 60s, and I think it’s a shame for them to end a relationship over this. Were we wrong? -- Weighing on My Mind in Pennsylvania

Dear Weighing: The point of attending

a funeral is to pay respects to the family. Your sister and her husband were “the family.” While you are not obligated to go to the funeral of some-one you barely know, it would have been a kindness to go for your sister’s sake, or at least give her the impression that you wanted to be there but had other serious obligations.

We do think your sister overreacted in the moment, but we also know you’d like to fix this. So apolo-gize to her. Tell her you are so sorry you didn’t go to the funeral, that you should have been there for her and her husband, and that you deeply regret it and hope she can forgive you. It’s not too much to do for a sibling rela-tionship that you value.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Frustrated Wife,” whose husband leaves the cabinet doors open and never puts tools away.

My wonderful, hardworking, intelli-gent husband exhibits these same tendencies. I would come home from work exhausted and find the cupboard doors open and things all over the counter-tops.

At first, I fumed.

Then, God put the thought into my head: If my husband were dead, my cupboard doors would be closed, the screwdriver would be put away and noth-ing would be out of place. So, I started say-ing to myself, “Thank you. Hubby is still

alive.” The difference in my attitude makes a big difference in my life. -- Petite Wife in Nebraska

planning is vital to success in a new career and Selkirk College is providing the opportunity to explore options this Thursday at the Castlegar Campus.

The annual Selkirk College Career & Education Fair brings together more than 50 exhibitors with community members, students, prospect-ive students and parents for a day of building connections and providing insight into the available avenues for in-demand jobs.

“This fair is for every-one,” says Selkirk College Recruitment Specialist Amy Byers. “Businesses are active-ly recruiting for a variety of positions within their organ-ization. Job seekers get the unique opportunity to meet and connect with employ-ers prior to submitting their resume which can really give them an edge.”

Current Selkirk College and high school students have much to gain by attending the fair which runs between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. in The Pit on the Castlegar Campus.

“Students looking for sum-mer work-terms will benefit from the fair as a number of

employers have summer pos-itions posted,” says Byers.

One of the focuses of the provincial government’s strategy for post-secondary education over the last few years has been the need for qualified tradespeople. Those interested in opportunities in the trades can gather more information at the Career & Education Fair.

“With the release of the BC Skills for Jobs Blueprint and the expected increase in demand for skilled trades-people, a variety of trades organizations and employers will be providing information on training and career options so those currently looking for job openings or planning a career in the trades can get a jump start now,” says Byers.

High school students, par-ents and all prospective post-secondary students will also benefit from the fair with Selkirk College representa-tives set up to help answer questions about programs, admissions and financial aid opportunities.

The Career & Education Fair is free to attend. For a full list of exhibitors and more information on the event go to: selkirk.ca/future-students/career-and-education-fair.

The Birchbank Golf and Country Club had a jam-packed driving range on Saturday, with nearly every mat filled by golfers trying to get rid of the winter cobwebs. It was the first day the outdoor practice range was open giving golfers an early start to the season before they tee-off for a full 18 holes.

Nice day for a drive
