Retired School District 20 teachers, Art Benzer (left) and Craig Horsland became active archivists as members of the Kootenay-Columbia Educational Heritage Society when concerns were raised that valuable historical records and educational artifacts would be lost after the hasty closure of many district schools. The society collects, catalogues and stores heritage items, such as several thousand class registers, old furniture and desks, instructional materials, school records and photographs.

While their workplaces range from the court room, engineering field and commerce, to gyms, retail, restaurants and home, there's one thing that a local membership has in common – they're all women in business.
The Lower Columbia Women's Business Group came together three years ago, after Mary Austin from
Austin Engineering and Keystone Appraisal's Gina Ironmonger con-sidered the lack of opportunity to learn and discuss business issues for women running their own show.
Since then, the group has grown into a mail-out list of more than 30 members. At least 20 women gather once a month at a local restaurant to nosh on lunch, talk and listen to an inspiring and educational story from a female in business.
“We found that women tend to network differently,” said Austin. “And we both knew a group of like-minded people who we'd love to learn from.”
This week, the women's group dined at Caffe Americano while tak-ing in a talk on “Small Town Business Excellence,” by Lea Scherck from an innovative Rossland-based com-pany called Thoughtexchange.
The business was incorporated
in 2009 as both an organizational consulting service and software developer.
In six years, Thoughtexchange has grown from one to 12 employ-ees in the Alpine City and six in the Nelson area.
Scherck discussed assets and challenges for growing a business in the West Kootenay as well as the unique environment of a job in the

In 1965, the American south was in the midst of the civil rights movement and Trail native, Mike Kobluk, was there.
A founding member of the Chad Mitchell Trio, Kobluk has had the privilege of performing with some of the music indus-try's biggest names including Harry Belafonte, John Denver and Pat Boone.
But, one event that sticks out for Kobluk is joining Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma, Alabama to march for African American civil rights.
The goal was to ensure equal access to voter registration for all citizens, regardless of their skin colour. The march lasted five days as non-violent protesters walked 54 miles, nearly 90 kilometres, to the steps of the Alabama state capitol in Montgomery.
The event has been portrayed on the big screen in the recent film, “Selma,” and is nominated for Best Picture at the 2015 Academy Awards.
So how did a singing trio based in Spokane end up a part of one of the most famous civil rights movement happenings in history?
“We worked with Harry Belafonte early in our pro-fessional life culminat-ing our first year on the East Coast with a concert at Carnegie Hall hosted by Belafonte and featuring Miriam Makeba, Odetta, the Belafonte Singers, and of course The Chad Mitchell Trio,” said Kobluk. “Over time we would occasionally renew our association with Belafonte and so when this
particular march was being organized years later, Belafonte was asked by organizers to assemble some of his friends in support. Our reputation on records and in performance put us on Belafonte's list. He asked if we'd join him and Dr. Martin Luther King. We proudly accepted.”
Defending the rights of those pushed aside by society was a fight that Kobluk and the Trio championed well before the march began. Their political views came through loud and clear in satirical folk songs like “The Draft Dodger Rag,” and “Barry's Boys,” referencing Barry Goldwater's 1964 race for president.
“The Mitchell Trio performed songs of political and social commentary, not exclusively, but such material was an impor-tant part of any program,” said Kobluk. “Equal opportunity and voting rights for all, were high on our personal and profes-sional priority list and fodder for such commentary.”
The danger that had presented itself at previous civil rights marches did not deter the singing group from showing their support for the cause.
“We enthusiastically accepted the invitation, even knowing that prior marches in Selma had erupted in considerable vio-lence, including the murder of Viola Liuzzo,” he said.
Liuzzo was a white woman, a housewife and human rights activist from Detroit who was executed by the Ku Klux Klan while driving demonstrators to and from the Montgomery, Alabama airport in March of 1965.
Braving the potential violence and backlash from opposi-tion groups, like the Ku Klux Klan, was worth the risk.
President Lyndon B. Johnson and the 1965 U.S. Congress
didn't allow the marches to go unnoticed.Just a few months later, President Johnson signed the
Voting Rights Act, allowing equal access to voter registration for all American citizens.
Kobluk says that while he knew the marches were vital at the time, the full effect the event had on history didn't occur to him until later.
“At the time, we knew it was important, but the total impact was not felt, or realized for some time,” he said. “Time, for President Johnson to sign the Voting Rights Act and time for the impact of such events to change people's thinking. I can only speak for myself, but we are extremely proud to have been a small part of history in the making.”
Even though the marches in Selma are seen as a piece of the past, Kobluk says the fight isn't finished.
“Dr. King's efforts are not fully realized and the effort is not over,” he said. “Our congress is still fighting over a woman's right for equal pay for equal work. Voters in poor black and brown areas of (the United States) are being disenfranchised, primarily by Republican efforts. Raising minimum wage is a priority to help our working poor rise above the poverty level. Higher education at affordable prices, and not just for the rich. And the list continues. We were fortunate to be a part (of the march), but by no means are Dr. King's efforts over. After 50 years, they are just beginning.”

King Henry the eighth, to six wives he was wedded. One died, one survived, two divorced and two beheaded.
But there's much more to the tale about the Tudor King and his six wives – three Catherines, two Annes and one Jane.
Vancouver's Tara Travis brings the six stormy love stories to the Trail stage this weekend in an original one-woman play titled, “Til Death, The Six Wives of Henry VIII.”
The creative script, score and costume design is a produc-tion of Toronto-based Monster Theatre, and is slated for the Charles Bailey Theatre main stage Sunday evening at 7:30 p.m.
Travis is a veteran performer of many genres, including voice, mask, clown, physical theatre and puppetry.
“For almost five years virtu-
ally everything I was doing was puppetry,” she said by phone Wednesday, between performanc-es at two Surrey schools. “Which really helped me develop my ros-ter of voices and different char-acters that I do now with shape-shifting theatre performance.”
“Til Death” quietly opens with Travis outfitted in a tudor-style nightgown, but quickly her deliv-ery becomes a spirited exchange as each of the six characters arrive in a room she describes as “purgatory.”
“I play all of the women alone in one room together so I am rapid fire turning into one and then another,” she explained. “Ultimately I play seven charac-ters once Henry arrives,” Travis said.
“It's a very unique brand of theatre and a pretty crazy show.
“And a really good workout for me,” she laughed.
After playing an entire com-pany of actors in a previous Shakespeare production, Travis said taking on “Til Death,” was a natural transition from concep-tion to stage.
“It became clear that this was
something I needed to do,” she said. “Finding something about women in history and celebrat-ing them is exciting.”
The play is largely comedic, Travis continued, but the laughs are balanced with respect for the challenges and sacrifices each of the six women made following marriage to the King of England.
“Definitely there is plenty of comedy but the play ultimately honours their stories and gets to the heart of their struggles, so it's a great balance.”
Prior to “Til Death,” Travis joins fellow actor Nancy Kenny on stage at the Charles Bailey Theatre for a 2 p.m. performance of “Little Prince.”
The 45-minute show is a Monster Theatre Production for children ages 4-11, and spon-sored by Teck Metals Ltd.
“Nancy plays the little prince and I play everyone else,” said Travis. “In that show, there are puppets in costumes and much more production value, because for kids, you need lots of colour and action.”
For more information or tickets, contact the box office at 368.9669.
The great variety of perfor-mances in the Greater Trail venue are part of Nadine Tremblay's goal to broaden community access to more theatre programming.
“Survey results indicated that Greater Trail patrons of the arts want more theatre program-ming, so audiences can see not one, but two Monster Theatre Productions at the Charles Bailey Theatre this weekend,” said Tremblay, the site's marketing and programming manager.

“Although we have a great team in the Kootenays and also a number in the Lower Mainland,” Scherck said. “We are spread around B.C. and now into the western U.S. We have challenges with technology for group meetings and also miss out on the oppor-tunity for small talk and relationship building that happens when you work in the same building.”
Living in such a beauti-ful place draws people to the area, she explained, noting the pool of talented contractors and entrepre-neurs the company can draw from for employees.
“This is a great place to balance work and life,” she added.
However, the logistics of being nestled in the moun-tains present obstacles for Thoughtexchange gather-ings in Rossland, which
could become an issue with future expansion.
“Transportation is a big one,” said Scherck. “Getting our team in and out of the region for con-ferences, customer meet-ings and company meet-ings is a real challenge, especially in the winter.”
And, as the consult-ing service and soft-ware developer con-tinues to grow, techno-logical infrastructure could become a concern. “Access to broadband in Rossland, although not a total show stopper now, is definitely on our mind as we continue to grow,” she said.
This was Scherck’s first meeting with the group, and it sparked a new net-work for her to gain acu-men from local women in business.
“It was a great experi-ence to get to share a bit about myself and
Thoughtexchange,” she said. ‘I look forward to connecting with some of the people that I met over lunch, in the future.”
The group’s month-ly luncheons highlight women, both members and
non-members, working in various business sectors, including politics and com-munity groups such as the Skills Centre and regional economic development team.
Austin said the group
has grown by invitation and word-of-mouth, with the only criteria being that the women own a business.
Ironmonger noted that three years ago, she had no idea the diverse range of women business owners in
the area.“Our monthly meeting
provides a platform to share ideas, get advice, share solutions, innovations, aspirations, triumphs and defeats,” she said. “And it just keeps growing.”
Meetings allow businesswomen to expand network

The B.C. govern-ment has promised to restore the B.C. Utilities Commission’s independent role in setting electricity rates and add more full-time commissioners to help them do it.
Energy Minister Bill Bennett released an independent review of the commis-sion Wednesday, and
said the government intends to implement all 35 recommenda-tions. Authority over setting BC Hydro rates for commercial and residential customers won’t be restored until 2017, after Bennett and Premier Christy Clark stepped in to cap rate increases in 2013.
The review comes after the government exempted big-ticket projects from BCUC review, including the Site C dam on the Peace River, the wire-less electricity meter
system and a new transmission line to northwest B.C. that ran $300 million over the original budget.
Bennett announced the government direc-tive on BC Hydro rates after the 2013 election, with a 10-year plan that increases rates 28 per cent over five years. He acknowledged at the time that rate increases were being kept low using a “rate smoothing” account that defers more than $1 billion of the util-ity’s debt.
BC Hydro rates are to increase six per cent this year under the province’s directive, and then be capped at four per cent for the two years after that.
“After the first five years of the 10-year plan they [BCUC] will be back in charge of setting rates,” Bennett said Thursday.
NDP energy critic Adrian Dix said the B.C. Liberal govern-ment has been overrul-ing and sidelining the BCUC since 2003 when it directed BC Hydro to
buy power from private producers.
He said its political intervention on ris-ing BC Hydro rates is designed to continue holding down rate increases until after the 2017 election.
Dix said it’s also no coincidence that Bennett received the independent review in November and held onto it until after the government had announced its decision to proceed with con-struction of the Site C dam.

There may still be questions about the local economy but building appears to be bouncing back in Kelowna—at least according to year-end statistics released by city hall.
Both the value of development permits issued in 2014 and the number of building permits issued were the largest in four years and eight years respectively here, the stats showed.
Kelowna’s real estate division director Doug Gilchrist, in reporting the city’s 2014 fourth
quarter results to council, said the $91 million value in the fourth quarter alone put the $349 million total for 2014 ahead of any year since 2010.
The increase in building permits was even more dramatic. The 330 permits issued for sin-gle-family homes in the city was the highest total in that category since 2007, before the recession, said Gilchrist. Coupled with those numbers was news that 1,424 new businesses took out licences last year in Kelowna, part of a total of 9,251 licences issued over the course of the year.
Other highlights of the report included Kelowna’s airport seeing 1.6 million passengers pass through its terminal in 2014, a number that was not expected to be reached until 2016.
December marked the 24th consecutive month the airport broke records for the number of pas-sengers it served.

Canada’s big city may-ors met on Thursday hoping to leverage a looming federal elec-tion into billions of dollars worth of com-mitments from Ottawa for transit, affordable housing and other big-money projects.
The 18 mayors made no bones about their awareness that voters are set to go the polls sometime before November as they dis-cussed what they esti-mated to be a $120-bil-lion infrastructure shortfall.
“Yeah, it’s an elec-
tion year, and the par-ties that get this right are the parties that are going to do very well,” said Calgary’s Naheed Nenshi.
“So this is exactly the time for citizens and for their mayors to be talking to gov-ernment and saying, ‘What exactly are you willing to do?”’
While the politic-ally diverse mayors would not as a group be looking to endorse any particular party, they weren’t shy about wanting to see their needs attended to.
Big cities account for about two-thirds of
the country’s popula-tion, they noted, but more importantly, per-haps, nearly one half of the country’s federal ridings - 142 seats - are in large urban centres.
Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper found his majority government in large cities and Ottawa must recognize them as the real driv-ers of job creation and the country’s econ-omy, the mayors said.
The key, they said, is predictable, stable funding from senior governments to allow them to make longer-term spending plans.
Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, chairman of the meet-ing of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, called it crucial for the com-peting federal parties to come up with an urban agenda.
“They have to speak to why cities matter and have to have plat-forms that address the key needs,” Robertson said.
“The next prime minister of Canada is going to be the one who recognizes the needs of cities.”
One of eight rook-ie mayors, Toronto’s John Tory, said big cities all face similar infrastructure prob-lems and simply lack the means to deal with them without the help of the federal and prov-incial governments.
“While the agendas differ in terms of the scale of the problems
and exactly the way in which we will solve them, the challenges are the same,” Tory said.
The mayors had yet to hammer out the exact nature of their “collective ask” from Ottawa, but said it would have to be enough for transit and transportation to ease “crippling” traffic con-gestion.
Nenshi made the eye-popping scale of the problem clear, esti-mating Calgary alone is short about $17 bil-lion over the coming decade.
“No one is saying, ‘Hey, federal govern-ment, write a cheque for this hundreds of billions of dollars in unfunded infrastruc-ture,” Nenshi said. “But what we are say-ing is let’s talk about creating predict-able, stable forms of income.”
Big city mayors try to leverage election year as they press feds for money

Bargain hunters who expected to unearth major deals at their local Target stores on Thursday, the first day of its liquidation sale, were sure to be dis-appointed once they got a look at the prices.
Store signs that promised discounts of up to 30 per cent yielded to shelves with price cuts mostly in the 10 to 20 per cent range.
“I’m not super impressed, really,” said Paul Boychuk, who walked into a Toronto Target store expecting better savings.
The elusive deeper discounts quickly became a conversa-tion piece for custom-ers who roamed the store aisles, discussing the savings, or lack of them, on their mobile phones.
Liquidation sales began at Target’s 133 stores across the coun-try after an Ontario court gave the go-ahead for the sale on Wednesday, less than a month after the U.S. retailer announced its plans to leave Canada.
Despite some com-plaints, the 30 per cent discount did exist - if shoppers were look-ing for cosmetics or women’s accessories.
Most everything else in the store was reduced by less, with clearance sales on items such as diapers,
dishes, and most elec-tronics discounted by 10 per cent.
Apple products, like the iPad and iPod Touch, were just five per cent off.
Lineups began forming outside one East York location in Toronto before sunrise as hopeful shoppers looked to be first inside for the best buys.
About a dozen people were lined up about 30 min-utes before the store opened at 8 a.m. while others waited in their
vehicles. By the time employees threw open the doors, more than 50 people had gath-ered and within an hour several hundred people were walking the aisles.
Customer traffic spiked at Target loca-tions across the coun-try compared with an average day at the store.
In Saint-Eustache, Que., about 50 shop-pers braved frigid win-ter temperatures near -20 C to be the first inside their local store.

OPINION
Busy time as new mayor and council settle in
We, the Mayor and Councillors of the City of Trail, would like
to thank you for the oppor-tunity to serve the citizens of Trail for the next four years and to update you on the major events occurring in our city.
It has been a busy time for our team as we orient ourselves around all issues impacting our city and our duties as your elected officials. We have been assigned our portfolios and are ready to take active roles on all committees. We would like to thank all volunteers who sit with us on the various commit-tees. Your willingness to be involved shows a high level of commitment to building the future of Trail in which we all take such pride.
Our team is entering into an important time as we work closely with City Administration to set the City of Trail’s budget for the upcoming year. There are high expectations that the services we enjoy will continue to be delivered to our residents. As a coun-cil, we will strive to ensure services are continued at a reasonable cost while facing the challenges and opportunities of growth. Through this process, we
will prioritize changes and advancements, while main-taining fiscal responsibility and accountability to our citizens and businesses.
We have many items to prioritize and consid-er. Items of importance include: maintaining basic service levels for our citizens and mak-ing improvements where necessary; securing recrea-tional agreements with our neighbours; moving the Pedestrian/Pipeline Bridge Project forward; finalizing plans for the Riverfront Centre (integrated library and museum); analyz-ing options for the Trail Regional Airport (TRA) expansion; continuing the dialogue on Boundary Extension into Area A; and, consideration for the Trail Skate Park. We commit to prioritize these items through strategic short and long-term plan-ning for the benefit of the City of Trail and the entire Lower Columbia Region. One of the excit-ing recent developments is the Sunday through Friday Pacific Coastal Airlines connection to Kelowna and the Okanagan. For more flight and TRA information, see www.trailairport.ca, or www.trail.ca/en/regional-airport.
We welcome Colleen Jones and Lorne Swayze to the Trail Library Board. They join the reappointed Board members, Val McLellan and Tina Ihas and two current board members, Barb Gibson and Karen McDonnell. There were 3,786 library cardholders for the Trail & District Public Library in 2014 and through the BC One card, another 1,265 residents of neigh-bouring communities made good utilization of our library. This repre-sents a substantial increase over past years. In addi-tion, we welcome Mike Konkin to the Board of the Lower Columbia Initiatives Corporation (LCIC) as the City of Trail representative. We are absolutely delight-ed to have this commun-ity representation on our Library Board and the LCIC Board. Thank you so much for your commitment and
participation in advancing two key areas of import-ance to the City of Trail.
Our commitment to keeping our citizens informed remains strong. With that in mind, we have adopted a communication policy. Decisions made by Trail Council and com-munication bulletins can be found at www.trail.ca, in News & Public Notices, and on the City’s social media sites (Facebook – The City of Trail and Twitter - @TheCityofTrail). Individual councillors can choose to share this information through their own com-munication channels. In addition, Trail Council receives strong media coverage through the local radio stations (Kootenay-Boundary EZ Rock and GOAT FM-Kootenays), the Trail Times and Shaw TV. We invite you to use the method that is of inter-est to you to stay informed with respect to updates and changes in the City of Trail. Also, the citizens of Trail are invited to attend City of Trail Council Meetings on the second and fourth Monday of every month. This is an exciting time of change for our city and we look forward to keeping you updated on all activ-ities.
Please note that the 2015 Annual Utility Invoices have been mailed to your homes; payment by February 27, 2015 will provide you with a rebate of $51.90. We encourage all residents to take advantage of the rebate opportunity.
Your Council commits to taking a leadership role to improve communication and collaboration with all neighbouring commun-ities.
We are excited about the opportunities and possibil-ities this will provide all citizens living in the Lower Columbia Region.
Thank you again for pla-cing your trust in us as your newly designated City of Trail Council. We are committed to work for you, our citizens and business owners, to move Trail for-ward and make Trail a city where people want to live, work and play.
Community Comment is an opportunity for elect-ed officials from our local municipalities to update citizens in the region on the events, plans and progress in their respect-ive communities. Every Friday, the Trail Times will present, on a rotating basis, a submission from councils, school trustees or regional district directors.

Contrary to Tom Fletcher’s assertion that BC teachers and the BCTF are not “adapting,” we are actually leading the way in protecting and enhan-cing education in our prov-ince “Teachers adapting, but not their union” (Trail Times Feb. 3).
The BC Teachers’ Federation is actively involved in BC’s task force on assessment, the gradu-ation requirements review, and the curriculum redesign teams. Our two Vice-Presidents and I have been meeting with senior Ministry of Education staff on these initiatives as well.
As a union of professionals, we work hard to enhance our practice in support of teaching
and learning. The BCTF has 32 provincial specialist asso-ciations—ranging from sci-ence, social studies, and art to technology and trades educa-tion—that put on exceptional professional development con-ferences, write reports, and lead important teacher inquiry projects.
Recently, the BCTF has part-nered with UBC and the BC Superintendents Association to create a province-wide mentoring program that will formalize an integrated sys-tem of support for developing and retaining teachers in BC. We also funded, created, and launched a new online platform called TeachBC that enables
teachers from across BC to share their research and teach-ing resources.
There are a lot of excel-lent things happening in BC schools and teachers are front and centre making it all hap-pen. However, we cannot forget that any government strategy, initiative, direction, plan, etc., needs funding.
Unfortunately, we’re still waiting for this government to fund the basics like improv-ing class size and composition. A change in government atti-tude towards funding is the first adaptation BC students need.

Over the past few months I’ve had the misfortune of being in a hospital. I’ve had the good fortune of meeting some of the most caring people I know – nurses.
Having spent 22 days in the Intensive Care Unit, I had a nurse beside me at all times to make sure I was comfortable as the could make me. Day after day they treated me like I was their only patient (I know I wasn’t) but it seemed that way. Bless them.
Now I’ve graduated to the dialysis unit three days a week only be greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. Here again the nurses and staff do everything possible to make my four hour stay comfortable. The humour amongst these profes-sionals is uncanny. It’s a great part of the healing. Sometimes I feel like I’m in Yuk Yuks Comedy Club. One of the staff posted a sign on the way say-ing, “If you can’t laugh at work, then it’s just a job.”
They can even make us smile when we’re not in the mood. I have such admiration and respect for all these giving people.
The next time you see a nurse, give them a hug or a handshake. They deserve it. They’re the ones that are there to help you when you need it.
Also a big shout-out to all the first responders too.
From the heart, thank you.Glen Solecki

NDP leader Tom Mulcair has recently launched a plan for affordable childcare in Canada.
It is no secret that Quebec has the most affordable childcare in the country, and Tom, as a former Quebec cabinet minister, wit-nessed the suc-cess affordable childcare played in helping fam-ilies and boosting the economy of the province. His plan would build on the Quebec model to bring quality, access-ible childcare to all of Canada.
Compared with some European and English-speaking countries, the employment rate for women in Canada is high - at about 75 percent. Both parents work in two-thirds of Canadian families. There are currently 900,000 Canadian children in need of care with no access to regulated afford-able spaces. Some families pay thousands of dollars every month for licensed childcare – more than they pay in rent or for their mortgages.
Tom’s plan anticipates creat-ing one million new spaces over the eight year phase-in period and reducing parents’ costs to no more than $15 per day for
each child. Recognizing that delivery of childcare is regu-lated provincially, the NDP will consult with provinces, ter-ritories and indigenous com-munities in the development of
a childcare strategy that will work for all stakeholders.
The initial annual investment of 1.9 billion dollars will fund 370,000 new spaces. After eight years the annual federal investment in childcare will have increased by $5 billion. Costly,
yes, but over and above the obvious benefits to parents, the economist Pierre Fortin asserts that the program will be self-financing. A TD Bank research survey suggests that for every $1.00 invested in early child-hood education, the benefits to federal and provincial gov-ernments range from $1.49 to $2.78 in increased tax revenues and decreased social spending.
Most Canadians don’t equate affordable childcare with growth in the national econ-omy, but the accessibility of childcare plays a significant role in labour force participation, particularly for women. David MacDonald, a senior economist with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, has found
that when parents are given an affordable childcare option, as in Quebec, they overwhelm-ingly choose to work.
Contrast this with income splitting, the tax incentive being implemented by the cur-rent federal government. In other countries where income splitting has been introduced, participation by women in the workforce goes down with no comparable increase in men’s participation. The consequence is a smaller labour force which ultimately slows economic growth.
In the last nine years costs for childcare have skyrocketed. BC has among the highest fees in Canada, and in many households with infants or very young children both parents cannot afford to work. Even if they could find licensed child-care space, their cost per child could be as high as 35 percent of their income.
My colleagues in the NDP have a plan for a national pro-gram of quality, affordable childcare that will help to keep parents in the workforce, sup-porting their families and giv-ing their children the best pos-sible start in life. The benefits of investing in childcare are far reaching. It is time for Canada to make a real commitment.

It is with much sadness that we tell you of the passing of Dina Hall on Tuesday, February 3, 2015 at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital. Dina was born April 16, 1919 and lived a most beautiful life of almost 96 years!She was predeceased by her husband Tick, her sisters Jay and Neva and her brothers, Fred, Blackie, Vi and Diamond. She is survived by her son Lory (Gail) and by her 2 granddaughters, Jennifer and Teresa whom she was so proud of and loved more than life itself. She is also
survived by her many “adopted” grandchildren, Kelly, (Matt and Jacob) Kevin, Sarah, Kirsten, Paige, Jessica and Ryan and many nieces and nephews whom she adored so much. Dina loved life, and she lived it with gusto, guts, laughter and a bit of rye! She loved her friends at Rosewood where she lived this past 2 years, between bingo, bus outings and cards, she was kept busy and loved every minute of it. She also loved all of the “girls” who worked at Rosewood, she talked about them all the time and told us of how much fun they were and how they looked after everyone there so well.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SMontreal mayor Denis Coderre met with Pope Francis at the Vatican
Wednesday to personally invite him to the city’s 375th anniversary cele-brations in 2017.
Coderre said they discussed Montreal’s Catholic heritage and how it still resonates in the city’s institutions and architecture as illustrated by such symbols as the famous cross on Mount Royal.
The Vatican has not yet indicated if Pope Francis will accept Coderre’s invitation.
Montreal’s mayor also suggested the pope include Quebec City on his itinerary if he accepts.
The last time a pontiff visited the province was September 1984 when John Paul II drew massive crowds in Montreal, Quebec City and Trois-Rivieres.
One of the highlights of that visit was a huge gathering of young people at Olympic Stadium.
The mayor said he gave the letter to the pope directly during a brief meeting following the weekly papal audience.
Coderre told The Canadian Press he hopes that discussions with other key members in the pope’s entourage will lay the groundwork for a visit.
“We were told that going forward now for 2017 was the right strat-egy instead of waiting until the last minute,” Coderre said in a phone interview from Rome. “The pope has already planned his trips for 2016.”
Coderre said he spoke to someone in charge of international relations at the Vatican and was scheduled to meet with Secretary of State Pietro Parolin.
“We had the great opportunity to meet not only the pope but to meet the other people so we can cover all the angles,” Coderre said. “It was a good day for Montreal.”
In Quebec City, news of the invitation was met positively by the Liberal government.
International Relations Minister Christine St-Pierre says Coderre didn’t speak to her about the invitation before embarking on his trip to Europe this week, but she knew he was strongly considering doing so.
St-Pierre said it would be a pleasure to have Pope Francis visit Quebec.

April 30 is com-ing faster than you may real-ize.
Gathering your tax information is one thing, preparing your tax return is a com-pletely different ani-mal.
First decision: Do it yourself or take it to a tax prep service?
If you choose to
use a service, organ-izing your information will not only reduce the chance of an error or omission, but may actually lower your preparation fee.
Speaking of fees, when sourcing a tax prep service it may be wise to ask how the fee structure works. Is it truly a flat fee or are there “extras”?
What happens if there is a CRA review? How will the preparer help you, and at what cost? Is the preparer even available year-round?
Regardless of your choice between pro-fessional tax preparer, home software pro-gram or even paper forms, there are some things you should do that will help you get organized for your tax preparer or for your-self.
Visit the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website to familiar-ize yourself with this year’s tax schedules. Review CRA’s tax tips and changes so you don’t mess up or miss opportunities. You should set up your CRA “My Account”, includ-ing direct deposit since it appears this will be mandatory in 2016.
Find a copy of your 2013 tax return, hope-fully you didn’t chuck it, and review its detail. This is a great refer-ence tool. If you used a tax prep service last year and you weren’t
given a complete copy, note-to-self, ask for one this year.
Fully open all your 2014 slips. Watch for duplicates. Make sure the slip has your name on it. Set aside informa-tion clearly not needed for input. Group like items together such as T4, T4A, T5, etc, and all medical expenses, donations, etc. There is value in doing this even if you are using a prep service.
If you are doing it yourself, input all your personal information required on the return. Missing a detail will foul your filing.
Enter what you easily can identify on the schedules. Surprisingly those
items you aren’t sure about may fall into place as you move along with the input of familiar items. Tick the numbers on the slips as they’re input. Use a calculator when calculations are need-ed.
For those items you don’t know where to input, read the slips because they might not have to be entered. The info on them may
also direct you where to enter them. If you still can’t figure it out, use the CRA website or even Google it.
Double check everything, and review the diagnos-tics if using software. Unfortunately some home programs allow e-filing with improper overrides and even omissions, only to be rejected by CRA or worse, trigger a CRA
review.The last filing date
is Thursday, April 30, and filing late with taxes payable creates interest charges and perhaps a penalty of up to 50% of taxes payable. And if you have a refund coming, why not file now? Last count there was $700M of unclaimed refunds sitting with CRA.

Eaters outscored the Merritt Centennials in two of three periods, but couldn’t overcome a 3-0 first period defi-cit in a 6-4 setback in Merritt on Wednesday.
“You have to be pre-pared and you have to be ready to play off the hop, because things happen quick,” said Smoke Eater coach Nick Deschenes. “I’d say we weren’t com-pletely prepared.”
Stephen Seeger took a breakaway pass from Zak Bowles and walked in all alone on Trail AP goaltend-er Patrick Zubick to score what proved to be the winning goal at 6:21 of the second per-iod to give the Cents a 5-1 lead.
The Smoke Eaters were not only short-handed on the ice with four affiliate players dressed, they were down two men on the bench, as assistant coaches Barry Zanier and Craig Clair were unable to make the trip due to work com-mitments.
“It was a bit of a tough management of
the bench because I was by myself there. So there were some mismatches, because they have a pretty good first line, and they took advantage of that for sure.”
M e r r i t t ’ s Rhett Wilcox, John Schiavo, and Josh Teves would strike for three goals over a four-minute span to give the Centennials a 3-0 lead, out-shooting the Smokies 14-12 in the opening period.
Colin Grannary made it 4-0, rippling the mesh 3:30 into the second period, before Craig Martin would get Trail on the board on a setup from Conner Wynne and AP Brody Jennings at 4:28.
After Seeger made it 5-1, Martin would reply again 70 seconds later, burying his second of the period at 7:31. Then with Trail’s AP Tyler Podgorenko in the box for hold-ing, Dallas Calvin would feed Martin who completed his nat-ural hat trick with a shorthanded marker at
10:21 to make it 5-3. It was the 16th goal and 35th point of the season for Martin who missed 17 games due to injury.
“He was buzzing, and he’s got a really good shot, and it’s deceptive. He was able to find spots on the ice to get it off, and they were all really nice goals so definitely a big positive for him.”
The third would be a hard fought per-iod as Trail attempted to battle back, but Jonah Imoo stood tall between the pipes stopping 14 of 15 shots in the period while the Cents managed nine against Trail.
The Cents’ Bowles would extend the lead to 6-3 at the 12:14 mark, out-waiting Zubick on a breakaway deke to give the Cents the 6-3 lead.
Trail would pull their goaltender with over three min-utes remaining, and with the extra man, Sheldon Brett was able
to get one back, but that’s as close as the Smokies would come as the Cents held on for the 6-4 victory.
Trail outshot Merritt 40-34 and went 0-for-3 on the power play, while Merritt was 0-for-6. Drawing twice the number of pen-alties as Merritt is a concern, yet, for some reason Trail on average sees fewer calls going the other way.
Trail has the second least number of power play opportunities in the league at 182, with West Kelowna, 239, having 57 more power play chances than Trail on the season, an aver-age of over one per game. Merritt at 213, and Penticton, 215, have enjoyed 31 and 33 more extra-man chances respectively. Only Salmon Arm has fewer with 170.
While coach Deschenes avoids any criticisms of the ref-erees, he finds it curi-ous one of the most penalized teams in the league, Merritt, receives so few penal-ties when they play the Trail Smoke Eaters.
Nevertheless, the Cents earned a crucial
two points in a tight race for the playoffs in the Interior division.
With the victory, Merritt kept pace with the West Kelowna Warriors in a tie for third place with 54 points, four up on Salmon Arm who took a pair of games from the Vernon Vipers last weekend, and will face the Warriors and Cents in two huge games this weekend.
With 10 games remaining in the season, Trail will return home to face the Centennials on Friday and the strug-gling Surrey Eagles on Saturday.
“The great thing is we have them (Merritt) coming in on Friday at home, and it’s going to be a good battle, and I think we are going to be in good shape.”
Bryan Basilico returned to action Wednesday, and Evan MacEachern is expected to play this weekend. Bryan Gerstenfeld is also expected to return to the line up next week.
The puck drop for Friday and Saturday at the Cominco Arena is at 7:30 p.m.

The Salmo Sharks goaltender Kenzie Neil (nee Waterstreet) makes a save on a Rossland Ice Hawks forward, as the Salmo native backstopped the Sharks to three straight wins including a 7-1 victory over the Ice Hawks Sunday to cap off the Gulch Cats 13th annual hockey tournament at the Cominco Arena. The Cats annual tourney saw 12 teams, including four women’s teams, com-pete in the three-day event that also raised $2,500 at its Colombo Lodge banquet for three-year-old Clara Issel who is fighting leukemia. The Gulch Cats have donated upwards of $35,000 over the past 13 years to help local families in need.

Martin nets hat trick in losing efforttrail smoke eaters
T h e N e l s o N s T a rNelson hosted a two-day indoor soccer tour-
nament over the weekend that featured over 61 games and 200 players, attracting soccer enthusi-asts from Cranbrook, Castlegar, Greater Trail, Fernie, Kimberley and Invermere.
“We were bringing the east and west together, under one banner,” said Whitecaps FC Kootenay Academy regional head coach Brett Adams. “This is a one-of-a-kind thing for the area, and for the whole Kootenays.
“A lot of people don’t see the work that’s done behind the scenes to make this happen. But the proof is in the pudding when you can get 200-plus players out for a weekend. It’s more than worth it to see the reactions of the players and the parents. They can see where we’re going as a soccer com-munity in the Kootenays.”
During the tournament, players from U-10 to U-14 were mixed randomly together. The kids played alongside players from other commun-ities, which was a team-bridging experience for them, said Adams.
“It’s a huge benefit for them to play with other players.”
Adams said the most impressive performances were by the goaltenders: Nelson’s Bella Guderyan, 15, and Hannah Quinn, 15; Trail resident Paige Gattafoni, 16; and Invermere player Wasyn Rice, 16.
“In an indoor tournament so the shots are coming at them left, right and centre. There’s a lot of pressure on them to be able to stand up to the amount of pressure they’re under.”
He said he was particularly impressed that Quinn and Guderyan, who just turned 15, held their own against the older players.
Adams said as the club gathers momentum, they’re going to start seeing big achievements in the next few years.
He added that the older boys had a great week-end as well, and Trail player Nolan Derosa played “an unbelievable technical game and stood out as a leader for the team.”
“The level of fitness, the level of understanding of the game the boys demonstrated, was incred-ible. There was no kick and rush, and they were really playing attractive soccer,” he said.
The coaches are now working with colleges and universities to place some of their more elite players, including Derosa.
Adams said the weekend was an excellent net-working opportunity.
“This weekend we had parents from all over the Kootenays talking to each other, getting involved, intermingling. To put that on and col-lect all of us under one banner is remarkable, and long may it continue.”
As for the younger athletes, 10-year-old Nelsonite Jalen Rushton was the standout per-former, scoring 14 goals in the tournament.
Grand Forks 14-year-old Finn Dribney also had a spectacular performance, scoring seven goals in what Adams called a “really competitive tourna-ment.”
In the older age groups, which played com-petitively, the Kootenay West Team 2 won the top spot, winning 4-1.

Minor sports (yes, jun-ior hockey q u a l i f i e s )
can be confounding.This past weekend
I attended games at the Hawks’ Nest and Smokies’ Station ( I know, lame, but some-one should do better for the Smoke Eaters, because, “Hawks’ Nest,” is a cool home ice designation).
I am proud of Cominco Arena and all the Memorial Center represents around here, but a nickname on behalf of another local icon would not change that. It may be too late to matter, but maybe the Smokies Booster Club should run a contest that would engage creative types, especially kids.
Back to being con-founded. Teams in both arenas grabbed two-goal leads. One of those teams was play-ing the top team in its division and could comfortably have been expected to cough that lead up. One of those teams was the top team in the league and had only once all season, with a lot of its stars missing, lost a game in which it had a two-score advantage.
Surprise, surprise, the third place squad, the Spokane Braves held on to close out the win despite being dominated in every statistic by the top
place club, Beaver Valley. And the bot-tom place team, the Smoke Eaters, made a charge and knocked off the first place team, the Penticton Vees.
Neither result means much in the
overall picture, but one could see on the faces of fans the emotional impact of the results. In Beaver Valley, heads were shaking and worried frowns about coming playoff action appeared. In Trail, the crowd was smiling and
cheering despite the fact no playoff games will appear in Cominco Arena this year, again.
Confounding, yes, and that is why it is still worthwhile to turn out to watch the Smoke Eaters -

FROM PAGE 11They provide excellent entertainment value
most nights. This time of year, of course, serious fans also look forward to gauging the talent which might crack next season’s roster.
Many local fans have staunchly felt that the
Smokies, at full strength, could compete with any team in the league - despite the standings. Saturday’s game featured an under strength squad missing its top scorer and both regular netminders, but somehow that roster got the job done against a nationally ranked perennial power. Lots of, “what ifs?” around the town about now.
Confounding, even frustrating, given the way the season has transpired, but for a few minutes there it was a lot of fun. Sports are supposed to be about that, aren’t they?
That same Trail roster, again it is confounding, got down 3-0 after 12 minutes, despite holding every statistical advantage, but could not come all the way back against Merritt.
Six more home games left, beginning tonight. The Nitehawks have just one more regular
season tilt in the Hawks’ Nest, on Friday 13th, no less. Beaver Valley has playoff passes on sale, however.
Hawks, Smokies: great value for the money

We showed a great movie at the church before Christmas called The Grace Card. It is available on Net� ix and I highly recommend watching it.
The synopsis of the movie is that everything can change in an instant and take a lifetime to unravel. Every day, we have the opportunity to rebuild relationships by extending and receiving God’s grace. Offer “The Grace Card”, and never underes-
timate the power of God’s love.
Written on the Grace Card is the following “I promise to pray for you every day, ask your forgiveness, grant you the same, and be your friend always.”
I made up Grace Cards which I handed out at the movie so everyone would have one or more in their wallet because we all have people in our lives with whom we need to rebuild our relationships. We all are missing out on God’s grace that He
freely offer us. In order to give grace, you must receive it � rst. Offering the Grace Card is the � rst step in mending those broken relationships.
I have Grace Cards sitting on my desk which I would love to share with anyone who would like some.

Dear Annie: A few months ago, we hired a lovely young woman to work in our office. “Jen” soon moved into a duplex in the neigh-borhood and says she loves the area. She has a boyfriend, works full time and goes to school online. She is busy and rarely gets enough sleep.
Jen lives close to the office, so she often goes home to nap at lunchtime. The prob-lem is her neighbor in the adjoining duplex, an older single woman who has become a huge pest. She will knock on Jen’s door as soon as she walks in, no matter what time it is. Jen has tried to be nice to her, but is getting fed up with having to “come over and sit” with this woman.
This woman knocks on Jen’s door at least five times a day, more on weekends. She asks Jen or her boyfriend to change light bulbs and batteries, fold tablecloths and sheets,
you name it. She is not frail or incapable of doing these things on her own. She drives and goes out for din-ner a lot. If Jen doesn’t answer the door, the woman just keeps knocking, no matter how long it takes.
Jen is chronically tired and at her wits’ end. I know she doesn’t want to hurt the wom-an’s feelings, but the fact that they live in adjoining duplexes doesn’t turn them into best friends. Jen has no interest in hanging out with her. What can she do? -- Frustrated Co-Worker
Dear Frustrated: We understand that you feel sorry for Jen’s sit-
uation, but you seem overly involved in her dilemma. If Jen wants this woman to leave her alone, she simply needs to tell her in plain English that she needs her rest and does not want to be disturbed. It would be a kindness for Jen to set aside a time when she is willing to entertain this woman, but otherwise, she should make herself unavailable, no matter how much knocking goes on, and say “sorry, no” when asked to visit or be of assistance. No one can take advantage of you without your permission.
Dear Annie: I was wondering whether you knew of any guide-lines regarding how to address mail to unmar-ried couples, fami-lies with multiple last names, and same-sex couples. This has been a problem for me when mailing Christmas greetings, and I will soon be sending out bridal shower and wed-ding invitations.
Maybe I’m old-fash-ioned, but I like to do things properly. -- Still Buying Stamps
Dear Still Buying: Unmarried couples are addressed as “Ms. Jane Doe” on one line and “Mr. John Smith” on the next. (Adults who live in the same house-hold, but are not cou-ples, receive individual invitations. Teenagers, too.) Married couples with different last names would be “Ms. Jane Doe and Mr. John Smith” on the same line. Same-sex couples are done the same way, with the names listed alphabetically. If the same-sex couple is using the same last name, it is “Mmes. Jane and Mary Smith” or “Messrs. John and Richard Doe.” For informal invitations, it’s OK to use first names and “and Family” where applicable. Thank you for reminding us that some folks still care enough to do it right.
Dear Annie: I read the letter from
“Sister-in-Law,” who complained that her sister-in-law makes comments about her food. The last straw was when she said, “If they put that in front of me, I would get sick to my stomach immediately.”
When I am faced with large servings of
food, I feel not just over-whelmed but actually nauseated. It’s a genu-ine physical feeling. So maybe the sister-in-law was not making a nega-tive remark about her companion’s food, but rather about her own sensitivities.
Hopefully, they will
mend fences and stay on good terms. A good relationship with a sis-ter-in-law is to be trea-sured. I know because I have a great sister-in-law. -- Feeling Better

For Saturday, Feb. 7, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Secret love affairs might take place for some of you today, because this is a pas-sionate day for romance. You also will truly enjoy your solitude in some way. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Group activities will be intense today. Basically, the ideal aim of today’s group action is to improve your surroundings or environ-ment. Do you think you can do this? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) An intense infatuation with a boss or authority fig-ure might take place for you today. Or you might even develop a crush on someone who is a public figure and completely inaccessible. (It happens.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Discussions about poli-tics, religion and racial issues will be intense; nev-
ertheless, people want to make things better. Look for ways to smooth troubled waters. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Someone might let you use something that he or she owns, or perhaps, you can borrow money from a bank or another person today. Somehow the resources of others will benefit you. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) All your interactions with others, especially partners and close friends, will be intense today. In particular, romantic involvements will be hot and passionate! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Look for ways to intro-duce reforms or make improvements to your job, because you can do this today. Similarly, you might be able to see ways to improve your health. Major bonus! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Today you will be pas-sionately involved in sports events, the arts, parties or any social occasion. This is a romantic day for a date. (Sigh.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Very likely, if you look around where you live, you will see ways to make improvements. Focus par-ticularly on places like gar-bage, recycling, laundry areas and bathrooms.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a powerful day for anyone who writes, acts, teaches or sells, because you will put a lot of yourself behind your words. You’ll be passionate about issues today and eager to convince others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) If shopping, be careful about being too obsessed about something. Stay
levelheaded. (Keep your receipts!) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve your appearance. Relations with others will be memora-ble -- perhaps, passionately romantic. YOU BORN TODAY You are a classic Aquarius because you want to right the wrongs in society. You
are also highly spontaneous. You are an excellent judge of character, which is why you choose your friends care-fully. This year, your suc-cess lies with others; people will benefit you. Therefore, make friends and join clubs and organizations. Help others, because you also will be helping yourself. Birthdate of: Charles Dickens, author; Ashton Kutcher, actor; Tina Majorino, actress.

A local Nakusp man was shop-ping online for new footwear when he came across a familiar name. There on the screen at marks.com was a rugged pair of boots aptly called FarWest Nakusp Packboots which retail for $139.99.
“My husband Andrew thought that it was cool so he texted a photo of them. I thought it pretty was cool too and I wanted to share with the people of Nakusp. I even wanted a pair but they don’t come in my size. Men’s size eight is the small-est,” said Joleen Minchin.
“It was a bit of matchmaking
really,” shared Dave Stephens, buyer for Mark’s, in a phone con-ference with the Arrow Lakes News.
“We build a product with an end user in mind. In this case, the boot is for wet weather and some snow pack.” It’s among the first of a line of names inspired by vari-ous British Columbia locations —
Tofino, Vernon and Coldstream are others.
Britney Wilson, Communications Advisor for Mark’s said, “The FarWest brand originated in Vernon and in keeping with tradition and the brand’s heritage, all boots are named after a British Columbia locale.”
