All-candidates forum offers opportunity
to seek answersB Y S H E R I R E G N I E R
Times StaffWith the upcoming provincial
general election only weeks away, are you still sitting on the fence about who deserves your vote?
On Monday night, the Trail and District Chamber of Commerce is hosting an all-candidates forum in the Cominco Gym, doors open at 6:30 p.m.
The objective of the forum is to provide the community an oppor-tunity to learn about the platforms of each Kootenay West candidate, including a chance for the public to question agendas, goals and political focus.
Beginning at 7 p.m., the forum will be called to order, with an introduction of candidates and an outline of rules for the ensuing discussions.
Candidates will be seated alpha-betically at the speakers table and each is allotted three minutes to make an opening statement.
Catherine Adair, from Teck Trail Operations, will moderate the pro-ceedings and two time keepers will be on hand with stop watches, warning cards and a bell.
Adair will guide the panel to balance the questions so that each candidate has equal time.
Additionally, people attending have the opportunity to fill out a question form at the door in advance, to avoid duplicate ques-tions during the public Q&A, which is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m.
NDP candidate, Katrine Conroy, spoke to the Trail Times on Sunday about the forum.
“It’s great. That’s what democ-racy is all about, it is important to hear all sides,” she said. “I’m looking forward to it, during the
election you can focus on the con-stituents, and it’s good to get out and talk to people.”
Glen Byle, Kootenay West independent, said without a lot of funds in his campaign cache, talking to the media and public in forum, is the best way to get his ideas out in the open.
“My hope is that once people start to understand the idea of “Technology Enabled true Democracy”, they will talk about it.”
The second independent in the Kootenay West riding, Joseph Hughes, said that he is looking
forward to meeting residents in Greater Trail on Monday.
“I find reaching out is a challenge, espe-cially because I repre-sent a change in pol-itical philosophy,” he said.
“I want to reach out to people who are see-
ing that the democratic process is failing and that they are basically choosing between the better of two “evils,” as the saying goes.
“One of the issues that is very near and dear to me that I would like to talk about is the Columbia River Treaty.”
Hughes said that he is also vis-iting local businesses to interact and promote his message in per-son, because he doesn’t support lining the highways with plastic signs to promote his identity in Kootenay West.
Liberal candidate, Jim Postnikoff said that he is getting to know the issues of the area by talking to people.
“Trail is a much older and established city, therefore a lot of the aging infrastructure is going to need or needs upgrading,” said Postnikoff.
During the discussion, he may address upgrades and staffing at the Trail hospital.

Replenishing the sturgeon stockB Y A R T H A R R I S O N
Times StaffOver 700 local students were on hand to
release some of the 4,000 hatchery-raised juve-nile sturgeon into the Columbia River near Beaver Creek Wednesday as part of the annu-al Upper Columbia White Sturgeon Recovery Initiative (UCWSRI).
Although some of the children were a little squeamish about handling the wriggling live fish, others were thrilled with the opportunity.
“The first one was awesome,” said seven-year-old, Grade 2 student, Meghan Hancock. “Touching one... wow!”
The Recovery Initiative was assembled in 2000 to study and try to address the dwin-dling number of wild sturgeon found in the Columbia and began releasing hatchery-raised
fish to the river in 2002.Although initially the group would release
from 10,000 to 12,000 hatchlings to the river they have more recently based the number on the estimated success of previous releases.
“The main reason we have to do this release is because of what is referred to as a failure to recruit by the sturgeon,” said the chair of the Community Working Group of the UCWRSI, Gerry Nellestijn. “We know they're breeding, we know the eggs are hatching, but they're not making it to the juvenile stage. Without the Conservation Aquaculture pro-gram there would be no survival of sturgeon in the Columbia River.”
According to Nellestjin the lack of wild juvenile sturgeon in the system means that, at

present, all of the naturally occurring sturgeon in the Upper Columbia are at least 50 years-old, adding the hatchery fish ensures a variable age range of the stock.
Each of the hatchery fish is implanted with a Passive Integrated Transponder or PIT tag, that allows them to be tracked electronically as they swim by monitoring stations.
“Sturgeon can live 100 years so this is definitely a time-will-tell program,” said Nellestjin. “Males don’t mature until they’re 15 years-old and females at 18 to 20 years. What we have embarked on is an aquaculture program that will take two decades to determine if we can provide successful breeders into the system.”
Because the sturgeon are so long-lived Nellestjin says that the program requires a long commitment from the public.
“With these tags these kids will be able to track these fish for the rest of their lives,”said Nellestjin. “That’s one of the reasons we think it’s so important to involve the kids in this program. They’re almost junior biologists, we need them as ambassadors.”

School District 20 (SD20) is ready to start operationalizing its 2013/14 budget.
The board will read the budget bylaw for the third time on Friday in an open-ing meeting at 6 p.m. at the Trail Middle School.
“The board accepted the recommendation made by the committee of the whole and are busy try-ing to work toward imple-menting its changes,” said Natalie Verigin, secretary treasurer for the district.
On Monday, at Blueberry Creek School, the budget bylaw did receive its second reading, but not before a motion was passed to accept recommendation from the Committee of the Whole in regards to balan-cing the operating budget, said Verigin.
She explained that the first reading of the bylaw was rescinded because the “amount” had changed due to the recommendation.
The reason the amount
had changed was that fewer cuts to the expense line items were required due to allocation of new revenues and added sur-plus, said Verigin.
“Then the board read this new bylaw for the first and second time.”
The staffing process, which begins every spring post budget bylaw, will begin on Monday.
Verigin said that the Human Resources depart-ment begins the process of arranging the September staffing and implements the changes as they relate to the budget, such as retirements, transfer requests and changes that need to be considered related to the leaving of Grade 12 students and the new “Ks” expected in the fall.
“We like to have plenty of time so the dust is all settled as early as possible and everyone can have their summer vacation, knowing what they are doing and where they are going in September.”

down, with each can-didate’s closing state-ments at 8:50 p.m., with concluding remarks and adjourn-ment at 9 p.m.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SKELOWNA, B.C.
- Snow crept down Okanagan hillsides like a forgotten enemy early Tuesday. Its ally, sub-zero temperatures, was set to follow early Wednesday morning but instead remained barely above freezing
Despite that reprieve, some Okanagan fruit grow-ers will be making nervous inspections of their farms today, hoping not to find frost damage in blossoming apple and cherry orchards.
E n v i r o n m e n t Canada recorded an low of 0.08 C.
But that was at the Kelowna airport; some regions of the Central Okanagan might have experienced temper-atures several degrees cooler than that, long-time fruit grower Fred
Steele said.“There are a lot of
micro climates around Kelowna,” Steele said Tuesday. “If people are located in frost pockets or low-lying areas, they might not be feeling too good right now.”
“If the temperatures get down below -2 C, we could see damage to apple and cherry trees, depending on if they’re in bloom or not,” Steele said.
Frost after blossom can impact the size, quality and even the shape of the subse-quent fruit, significant-ly reducing its value. On May 10, 2010, tem-peratures fell to -9 C in Steele’s orchard, caus-ing severe damage.
About 40 centi-metres of snow fell on the Okanagan Connector between Monday afternoon and early Tuesday.
S U B M I T T E DVANCOUVER –In response to the
increasing demand for new phone num-bers in British Columbia, The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is adding a new area code to all of B.C. Beginning June 1 the new area code, 236, will ensure B.C. resi-dents and businesses continue to have enough phone numbers.
Individuals do not need to change their existing phone number, and in areas where there is still a sufficient supply of 604, 778 and 250 numbers they will continue to be given out as long as they are avail-able. Where they are no longer available or where a customer chooses, after June 1, people and businesses receiving a new phone number may get one with the 236 code.
Timing and availability of phone num-bers with the new area code will vary by community, depending upon the local inventory and demand.
The geographic boundaries that govern long distance calling will not be affected.
To ensure a seamless transition to add-ing the new area code, 236, businesses are encouraged to begin making any necessary changes right away by reprogramming communications systems and equipment.
Residential customers will not need to make any changes to their equipment.
New area code added to B.C.

MACK (NEE SAMUELSON), AUDREY CHRISTINE — 1942 - 2013.
It is with much sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Aud-rey Mack, with her loving family at her side on Satur-day, April 27, 2013.
Audrey was born in Ross-land on March 28, 1942. She lived in Rossland most of her life, until moving to Trail in 2007.
She will be dearly missed by her husband Bud of 52 years. Left to cherish her memory are her 3 children; Jodi Rawson (Trev-or). Teri Mack (Steve), Aaron Mack (Tanya). 8 grandchildren; Brandi Savill (Martin), Jason Rawson (Megan), Tamara Grose (Blake), Sianna and Tanyce Tomich, Evan, Keegan and Jada Mack. 5 great-grandchildren, Kayla, Tay-dom, Owen, Grace and Warren. Many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Audrey was predeceased by her beloved par-ents Richard and Dilys Samuelson, her broth-ers; Sonny and Maurice Samuelson, her sisters; Gladys Underwood and Doreen Kelsall.
Audrey had many pleasures of life. She especially loved dancing, singing, whistling, camping, gardening, learning the computer and doing jigsaw puzzles but, most of all, the pleasure of her family.
Her family would like to thank KBRH nurs-es and staff. Dr. Purcell, Dr. Jacobsen and BC ambulance services. The support of friends and family through this dif� cult time.
A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 11:00 am at the lower Legion Hall in Rossland, BC. Jordan Wren of Alterna-tives Funeral and Cremations Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements.
As an expression of sympathy, donations can be made to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Health Foundation at 1200 Hospital Bench Trail, BC V1R 4M1 or online at www.kbrhhealthfoundation.ca.
You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca
“Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free!I follow the plan God laid for me.I saw His face, I heard His callI took His hand and left it all...I could not stay another day,To love, to laugh to work or play:Tasks left undone must stay that way.
And if my parting has left a void,Then � ll it with remembered joy.A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss…My life`s been full, I`ve savoured much: Good times, good Friends, a loved-ones touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.Be not burdened with tears of sorrow,Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - The Harper gov-
ernment is under fire for cutting Elections Canada’s budget even as the agency struggles to address rampant procedural errors and widespread allegations of cheating during the last federal vote.
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair charged Wednesday that the eight per cent cut to the election watch-dog’s annual budget is symptomatic of a government that has no respect for democratic institutions.
“The Conservatives should be doing anything but cutting Elections Canada,” Mulcair said.
“We’re not coming to defence of our democratic institutions. The vote is the essential part and, if we can’t even guarantee that the people who are voting are entitled to vote and that could throw off the results of the election, then all is being lost.”
Prime Minister Stephen Harper countered that “the suggestions for savings at Elections Canada were produced by Elections Canada itself” after the last federal election in 2011. However, the cut - amounting to a loss of $7.5 million annually - was not exactly voluntary.
“Elections Canada was asked to follow the spirit and intent of the government’s strategic and oper-ational review,” agency spokes-person Diane Benson said, referring to across-the-board spending reduc-tions imposed by the government last year.
In any event, both the agency and the government pointed out that Elections Canada is entitled to draw unlimited amounts of addi-tional money from general federal revenues for the administration of elections or for the conduct of investigations.
Controversy over the watchdog’s budget was triggered by a report, commissioned by Elections Canada, which concluded that the integ-rity of Canada’s electoral process is at “serious risk” due to rampant procedural errors made by polling officials.
The report, released Tuesday, blamed overly complex rules and poorly trained polling officers for the fact that errors were made in the majority of the paperwork filled out during the 2011 federal election for electors who needed to prove their eligibility to vote.
Mulcair said the Conservatives have “shown consistently that they’re willing to cheat” to win and cutting the budget of the agency that polices elections is in keeping with that.
He cited the robocall affair and the so-called in-and-out scandal, which allowed the party to spend beyond its legal limit during the 2006 campaign.
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau echoed that sentiment, arguing that the budget cut is part of a worrying pattern by Conservatives to discour-age Canadians from taking part in the democratic process.
Tories under fire for cuts to Elections Canada

OPINION
Taxes don’t have to be the cost of civilizationFor those who filed
their taxes at the last moment and cut an extra cheque
to government, right about now is unlikely to be their favourite time of year. For what it’s worth, it might be of some comfort to know taxes have provoked much the same reaction throughout history.
To find the origins of tax, one has to travel back to the ancient world and to a fertile plain between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, now modern Iraq. History’s first recorded tax was brought to mankind in Sumer, 6,000 years ago. It is there, inscribed on clay stones excavated at Lagash that we learn of the first taxes, instituted to fight a ferocious war.
But as is often the case in history, when the battles ceased, the taxes stay - a cause of no small discon-tent on the part of the locals. Local Sumerians apparently complained that taxes filled up the land from one end to the other.
Charles Adams detailed
such history in his 1982 book, For Good and Evil: The Impact of Taxes on the Course of Civilization. As his title implies, taxes have been both useful and a scourge.
In Canada, taxes pay for items any sensible person would regard as desirable. One could point to the most basic functions you’d hope taxes would under-gird. A few examples: gov-ernments that (in theory) protect your property and person from interference; courts to enforce such desirable laws; for cops and others to protect kids.
On the flip side, it wouldn’t take long for anyone to identify use-less government spending. Think corporate welfare, or taxpayer-financing for professional sports and their stadiums, or above-market compensation in the public sector. Think of absurdly high salaries for some native chiefs, or the Harper government’s endless stream of taxpayer-financed commercials that tout the Ottawa’s “eco-
nomic action plan,” at a cost of $78-million in 2012 alone.
In Canada, the first known instance of taxation was an export duty on bea-ver pelts (at 50 per cent) and moose pelts (at 10 per cent) in 1650 in what was then New France.
While the tax on beaver furs was reduced to 25 per cent within three years, by 1662 every import was subject to a 10 per cent tax for six years, necessary to help pay off colonial debt.
Ever since, the number of taxes has multiplied.
Two colleagues recently found that, since 1961, tax
increases have outpaced the growth in the cost of clothing (up by 607 per cent) food (higher by 578 per cent) and shelter costs (up by 1,290 per cent).
In fact, Statistics Canada’s Consumer Price Index, which measures the prices Canadians pay for a wide variety of goods and services, rose by 675 per cent from 1961 until 2012. But taxes? They’re up by 1,787 per cent! So in other words, tax hikes since 1961 have outpaced inflation and the necessi-ties of life, thus squeezing family budgets.
And taxes are heading up again, most recent-ly in British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and in New Brunswick.
But, you may respond, “Taxes are what we pay for a civilized society.” That’s what American Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. said back in 1927.
However, back then, government spending, as a percentage of the econ-omy, was much lower than
today.A better perspective on
taxes comes from Richard Cartwright, a 19-century gentleman who made clear how he thought polit-icians had a duty to exer-cise restraint in matters of taxation and spending: “All taxation is a loss per se,” he said. “It is the sacred duty of the government to take only from the people what is necessary to the proper discharge of the public ser-vice; and that taxation in any other mode, is simply in one shape or another, legalized robbery.”
It may come as a surprise to some that Cartwright was not some supposed ideologue but the Dominion Minister of Finance in the Liberal gov-ernment of the day and the words were spoken during his 1878 budget speech.
Cartwright had the spir-it of it right. Moderation in government and taxes, as in all areas of life, is a virtue.-

Recently, my 85-year old father was called into Trail hos-pital for an investigative proce-dure. Having given up driving two years ago, shortly after his wife passed away, he is depen-dent on public transportation (his preference), family and/or friends to get from Nelson to Trail.
In spite of my explaining the situation by phone two days' previously and trying to get him an appointment that would
allow him to arrive by bus at the hospital just before 9 a.m. he was called with less than 24 hours' notice and told that he had a 6:45 a.m. appointment.
The operator gave him a list of hotels in the vicinity of the hospital. Imagine his shock to discover on arrival (by public transport late that afternoon) at the motel that there is no taxi service in Trail before 8 a.m. Surely the booking department in the hospital is aware of this
fact! This is where an employee
of a Trail motel came to his rescue. She told him she would pick him up and drive him to hospital at 6:30 a.m. the next morning.
The woman was working until 11 p.m. the night before yet she volunteered to do this to help a stranger in need.
We are very grateful to her.David Beringer

We have seen a fair amount of coverage in the news lately on First Nations’ issues.
In this first installment on the First Nations, think it might be helpful to put this into an historical context.
The situation of Métis, Inuit, and First Nations peoples is one of the most com-plex and persis-tent challenges for the Federal Government.
S u c c e s s i v e Liberal and C o n s e r v a t i v e G o v e r n m e n t s have failed to establish an agreement on the place of Indigenous peo-ples in the Canadian federation, and their average living condi-tions remain far below other Canadians.
Aboriginal issues capture mainstream public interest in a cyclical way, when a cri-sis emerges. The IdleNoMore movement (INM) arose as a protest against changes to the Navigable Waters Protection Act, which were part of the Conservative’s 2012 bud-get implementation bill, but quickly became a nation-wide peaceful protest movement that has galvanized Aboriginal and non-aboriginal Canadians to demand change.
Popular pressure and a hun-ger strike prompted a high-level meeting with the Prime Minister and the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) in January, after which the Prime Minister agreed to provide oversight of the file. AFN National Chief Shawn Atleo’s decision to attend the meeting on the Prime Minister’s terms was controver-sial among First Nations, and revealed a divide between First
Nations leadership and a grass-roots movement increasingly frustrated with the status quo.
The Aboriginal population represents approximately 4per cent of Canada’s overall popu-lation. According to Statistics Canada’s 2006 Census, there are approximately 1.7 million peo-ple who identify as having some
First Nations, Inuit or Métis heritage in Canada, among whom almost 1.2 million report an “Aboriginal Identity”, marking a stronger attach-ment to that heri-tage. Of this num-ber, almost 400,000 are Métis, 50,000 are Inuit and the others (700,000)
have “North American Indian” background.
Half of Aboriginal peoples in Canada are under the age of 25, and the population is grow-ing at 2.5 times the rate of the rest of the country. This makes Aboriginal peoples the youngest and fastest growing population segment in the country, which will increase the significance of this demographic over time.
In 1969, the Trudeau Government published a white paper on “Indian policy” that recommended scrapping the Indian Act, abolishing the Indian Affairs Department’s special programs, and trans-ferring Indian lands to Indian people and away from owner-ship by reserves.
Aboriginal leaders denounced the white paper as a recipe for assimilation. They said it rejected their special standing in Canada as the origi-nal occupiers of the land. The Federal NDP joined them in this position.
Trudeau relented and in 1982, existing Aboriginal and
treaty rights were recognized and affirmed in Section 35 of the Constitution. Despite sev-eral Government policy moves towards recognizing self-gov-ernment, successive Liberal and Conservative Governments have failed to make progress on establishing a true “nation-to-nation” relationship.
Following the 1990 Oka Crisis, the Federal Government created a Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP). In 1996, RCAP made over 400 rec-ommendations including that the Indian Act be replaced by a third order of government for Indigenous peoples within Canada. This was welcomed by a majority of Indigenous peoples as well as the Federal NDP. Progress on implement-ing the recommendations has been very slow, and most is left undone.
In 2005, just as they were heading to certain defeat after a decade in power, the Martin Government put forward the Kelowna Accord.
In the Accord they pledged a $5.1-billion budget plan to address the low standard of liv-ing of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada so that it would be equal to that of all other Canadians.
When the Harper Government came to power, it promised to meet the targets of the Accord, but has failed to do so.
In 2008, the Federal Government issued an Official Apology to the Survivors of Residential Schools. In his speech, Prime Minister Stephen Harper acknowledged the important role NDP Leader Jack Layton had played in pushing for the apology to take place.

B y T i m e s s T a f fA number of Greater Trail players are still
reaping rewards at various levels of elite hockey. The Quinnipiac Bobcats recognized Trail
native Travis St. Denis with its rookie of the year award last week at the annual Quinnipiac ice-hockey awards banquet in Hamden, Conn.
St. Denis enjoyed a solid all-around first sea-son at Quinnipiac, playing in 41 of Quinnipiac’s 43 games, scoring eight goals and assisting on seven more for 15 points – all of which were highs among the freshman skaters on the Bobcats’ roster.
An RBC Cup winner with the BCHL’s Penticton Vees and former Trail Smoke Eater stand out, St. Denis scored his first collegiate goal in his first game played when he scored a game-tying goal against Maine in a 2-1 win in the Bobcats’ season-opener.
A a four-point weekend with two assists at Clarkson in a 5-2 win and at St. Lawrence in a 6-2 win, earned St. Denis the ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week honors in November.
St. Denis joined Montrose natives Connor and Kellen Jones on the Bobcats squad, helping them to the final of the Frozen Four NCAA national championship tournament.
Goaltender Eric Hartzell was named the team’s Most Valuable Player, Dan Federico and Clay Harvey were honoNCred with the Seventh-Player Award while Kevin Bui was given the Coaches’ Award. Zach Davies of Smithers earned this year’s Academic Award.
AHLWarfield’s Craig Cunningham and the
Providence Bruins won the overall regular sea-son title in the American Hockey League, but are on the verge of elimination in the opening round of the playoffs.
The Bruins finished first overall in the AHL, but have lost two straight, 5-2 and 5-4 in OT, to the eighth-seeded Hershey Bears in the best-of-five Eastern Conference quarter final.
Cunningham picked up an assist in the 5-4 overtime loss Sunday after outshooting the
Bears 58-29. Leading 4-3 with 90 seconds to play, the Bears tied it to force overtime, where Jon DeSalvatore would net the winner at 3:05 on the power play.
Providence put up a league-best 105 points this season, and Cunningham had a stellar year finishing third in Bruin scoring with 25 goals and 21 assists in his sophomore year. The Bruins finished the year going 9-1-0 in their last 10 games, while Hershey only qualified for the playoffs in its final regular season game, finish-ing with 81 points.
Game 3 of the Bruins-Bears quarterfinal tilt goes Saturday in Hershey.
cHLThe Allen Americans dropped their first
match of their best-of-seven series against the Wichita Thunder Tuesday night in Central Hockey League action.
Trail native Todd Robinson set up the only Allen goal in the opening of the Presidents Cup championship series, as the Thunder rolled to a 4-1 victory.
Robinson leads the team in playoff scoring and is second overall with three goals and 12 assists in 13 games.
The Americans have now dropped the first game for the third straight series, losing to Denver in Round 1 and Missouri in Round 2.
Game two of the Presidents Cup finals is Thursday night at 7:05 p.m. in Allen.
NHLFruitvale native Barrett Jackman had a great
opening game of the NHL playoffs for the St. Louis Blues, as the Blues defeated the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings, 2-1, in overtime Tuesday night.
Jackman, with 644 regular season games under his belt, played in just his 22nd career NHL playoff game, and led both teams in blocked shots with six.
Meanwhile former Smoke Eater Dan DeKeyser played his first NHL playoff game with the Detroit Red Wings losing to Anaheim Ducks 3-1.
B y T i m e s s T a f fThere will be at least one
Greater Trail hockey player in the Memorial Cup this year.
Montrose native Luke Bertolucci of the Edmonton Oil Kings will face Trail’s Joey Baker and the Portland Winterhawks in the Western Hockey League final after the Oil Kings elim-inated the Calgary Hitmen Tuesday night.
Laurent Brossoit made 26 saves and earned his fifth shut-out of the playoffs as the Oil Kings defeated the Hitmen 2-0 in Game 7 of the WHL’s Eastern Conference final.
Michael St. Croix had both
Oil King goals as Edmonton advanced to the WHL final to play the Winterhawks for the Ed Chynoweth Cup for the second year in a row. The Winterhawks defeated the Kamloops Blazers in Game 5 Friday to advance to the final.
The defending champion Oil Kings were pushed to a seven-game series in last year’s show-down, but held home ice advan-tage: something they won’t possess in this year’s final.
Both Bertolucci, 2012, and Baker, 2011, are former Trail Smoke Eaters, and the two will battle for the right to go to the Canadian Junior championship
Memorial Cup.In his rookie season with
the Oil Kings Bertolucci played in 41 games and counted two goals and four assists. In 13 games in the playoffs, the 17-year-old winger has almost equaled his season totals with two goals and two assists.
Baker meanwhile is in his second season with Portland. The 20-year-old physical for-ward counted a goal and seven assists this campaign and has two goals and an assist in the playoffs.
Edmonton opens the cham-pionship series in Portland on Friday at 7 p.m.

The annual Canadian Legion Track and Field Meet will hit the ground running at Haley Park in Warfield on Saturday, with approximately 100 athletes from across the Kootenays taking to the track.
Canadian Legion meet on the starting line
By Jim BaileyTimes Sports EditorHaley Park will
welcome close to 100 Kootenay track and field athletes on Saturday as the annual Royal Canadian Legion Track and Field Meet takes to the starting blocks.
Last year’s event attracted over 70 ath-letes and this year Trail Track and Field Club coach Dan Horan expects even more.
“There will be hopefully more num-bers than usual,” said Horan, whose own club saw about 20 ath-letes train this season.
“I got quite a few kids this year . . . and I expect to have the majority of them enter.”
Runners and jump-ers from Revelstoke, Creston, Cranbrook, Invermere, Sparwood, and Fernie will go
head-to-head against Greater Trail, Nelson, Slocan, and Castlegar athletes.
The meet starts at 10 a.m. with the open-ing ceremonies, fol-lowed by the running and jumping of over 100 events.
The B.C. Athletics sanctioned meet is open to any athlete ages 9 and up, divided into age categories of midget, juvenile, jun-ior, senior, and master competitors.
Depending on age category, the event includes track stan-dards from the 60 and 100-metre sprints and hurdles to the 3,000-metre run as well as the popular field com-petitions: the long jump, high jump, shot put, discus, javelin, and hammer throw with the top three win-ners qualifying for the B.C. Games.
This year all races are timed finals with the last event sched-uled for around 5:30 p.m. so teams from the East Kootenay can make it home that night.
An entry fee of $10 per athlete is required if a member of B.C. Athletics, an additional $3 per entry if not a member.

The Birchbank Day Ladies started the 2013 golf season with their official opening on Apr. 9. Fifty-one ladies participated in the “Dice” game with the winning team of Maureen Charlton, Barb Secco, Helen McLellan and Loretta Bulfone finishing with a score of 87. The Black Rooster sponsored the Business Ladies opening on Apr. 16. The Vegas scramble was enjoyed by 58 players. The winning team, pictured above, was Pat Chernenkoff, Sandy Filmore, Katy Burke and Sheila Johnson.
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVeteran curler John Morris will get another
crack at representing Canada at the Olympic Games.
Morris has joined Jim Cotter’s rink from Kelowna, as the team prepares for the Canadian Olympic pre-trial competition in November. The top two men’s and women’s teams at that event will advance to the Canadian curling trials with a spot at the 2014 Sochi Games on the line.
Morris spent the last seven seasons as a third on Kevin Martin’s Edmonton rink, helping the team win an Olympic gold medal, two Canadian men’s curling championships and one world title over that span.
Morris parted ways with Martin last week, despite the fact Martin has already qualified for
the Canadian curling trials.“The past couple seasons, especially this last
season, I felt that we weren’t performing up to our capabilities,” Morris said at the time. “I just felt it is in the best interest of our team if we brought someone new in there.
“I’ve always played with passion and drive and I felt, especially this last season, I was lacking some of that and as result my performance had declined a bit and I was no longer thriving.”
Morris said he would take some time to decide on his future, but within a week he had already found a new rink to call home.
“When a guy of John’s calibre calls you out of the blue, you’re definitely interested in what he has to say,” Cotter said in a statement. “John is someone who I’ve always highly respected on and off the ice. John is one of the best players in the world and surely would be accepted by any team he approached. Just based on his attitude and passion that he brings to the game and the fact that he is already good friends with several of our team members, it was an easy choice to make to join forces.”
Cotter is coming off a successful season in 2012-13, reaching the final of the Masters Grand Slam of Curling and the quarter-finals of two other Grand Slam events. Morris will join a five-man rotation on the team, which includes Cotter, Jason Gunnlaugson, Tyrel Griffith and Rick Sawatzky.

Dear Annie: I’m in my 40s and have been married for 20 years. We have two children. Our marriage has been OK but not totally ful-filling. For the past five years, I have been in contact with my ex-fiancee.
I have thought about getting divorced a number of times but have never gone through with it. I love my wife, but not the same way I love my ex. Whenever I speak with my ex, I am my happy old self. She is the most caring, sweet, romantic person I’ve ever met, and I know, without a doubt, that our lives would be happy if we were together. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her. We treat each other the way people should be treated.
My children do not have the best relation-ship with their moth-er, so I don’t think a divorce would be all that traumatizing for them. I just don’t want
to hurt her. I have spoken to her about the things I’d like changed, but she only complies for a short while, and then things go back to the way they were.
Is this just a midlife crisis? Should I settle and stick with my current life or take a chance on a new one? -- Wanting No Regrets
Dear Wanting: So why didn’t you marry your ex-fiancee? It’s not uncommon to fan-tasize about a wonder-ful life with someone you don’t actually live with. The mundane responsibilities, raising children, doing house-work, paying bills -- all of those things are unromantic and
unexciting. It takes work to make a good marriage. Don’t simply tell your wife what you want her to change. Maybe she’d like you to change, too.
We commend you for not wanting to hurt her. So please give your marriage a chance before you bail. Ask your wife to come with you for marriage coun-seling to see whether you can work through some of those things that are making you unhappy.
Dear Annie: My hus-band recently passed away after 40 years together. It’s been heartbreaking.
While going through his desk, I found a checkbook for our joint trust account. He had written in it that he wanted to leave all five of our chil-dren a sizable amount of money. I have no problem with four of them, as they are all employed and respon-sible adults. However, the fifth “child” is 58,
unemployed, and living on his veterans benefits and disability so he can smoke medical mari-juana.
I have already writ-ten checks for the first four kids, but I am dragging my feet about the fifth. It was my husband’s wish that they all be treated equally. Am I being dis-respectful to my hus-band’s memory by not getting a check out to my son? I’m afraid he will blow it all on weed. -- An Anxious Mom
Dear Mom: We think your son is probably as responsible as he’s going to get. Certainly your husband knew this. Talk to your son. Explain that he has money coming to him, but you are concerned that it won’t last very long. Ask whether he’d like you to pay it to him in installments or put it in a trust for his long-term benefit. He may actually prefer an arrangement like this, but if not, please give him the money any-
way. What he does with it is not your problem.
Dear Annie: Perhaps the owners of vacation homes whose guests leave photos of their own families in the home could start guest scrapbooks. A large scrapbook would pro-vide room for visitors
to note when they were there and perhaps men-tion a few of the more interesting things they did while enjoying the generous hospitality of the owners. This would provide a nice memory book for both the owners and guests, as well as providing
an appropriate place for guests to leave their family photos. -- Barbara in Ventura

Leisure
For Friday, May 3, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) If shopping today, you’ll be tempted by elegant luxu-ries. (You want to reward yourself.) When it comes to finances, be careful, because things might not be as good as they look. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You feel sympathetic to the underdog today and will go out of your way to help some-one. You’ll find it rewarding to be part of a group that does charitable activities. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You won’t mind putting yourself second if you can help someone today, because you feel selfless and sympa-thetic. This is a great day to practice a kindness. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might be active in groups today, especially non-profit or charitable groups that seek out ways to help others. In fact, you can influ-
ence any group to be more caring and humane. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You have a clear percep-tion of your relationship with authority figures. (It’s almost as if you can read minds.) You instinctively know what they expect of you. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Travel for pleasure will delight you today. You also will enjoy being surrounded by beauty, gorgeous build-ings, pristine parks and the creative work of others. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If sharing something with someone today, you will be more than fair because you feel generous. (This is all very well, but don’t give away the farm.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a good day for part-ners and friends to patch up quarrels and mend broken fences. People are insightful today, and are ready to meet
each other halfway. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might have a chance to help a co-worker today, or vice versa, perhaps some-one will help you? People are mutually sympathetic today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your ability to be creative is well-honed today. This is a great day for working with arts and crafts, or just party-ing and having fun!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Family discussions can be meaningful today because everybody knows what every-one else wants. People are not hiding things. Everyone is willing to share. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Although you can clear-ly pick up on many things today, you might spend time daydreaming or living in a fantasy world. That’s because
your imagination is so acti-vated! YOU BORN TODAY You have charm, intelligence and a strong intuition. Because of this, you have much to teach others. You are a realist, but you also are pragmatic and practical. Your wit can make others laugh. Privately, you sometimes demand too much of yourself and oth-ers. In your year ahead, set aside time for study or course work, because you will learn
something valuable. Birthdate of: Frankie Valli, singer; Sugar Ray Robinson, boxer; Golda Meir, Israeli prime minister. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

The Trail Girl Guides held a very successful food drive in Warfield last Saturday. The Guides delivered 500 bags to homes in the village and their col-lection brought back 200 bags of food and a $100 donation for the Salvation Army food bank. The Guides also collected the reusable bags and plan on using them again in the future.
