Trail is losing ground in the population race for first place in the West Kootenay.
Although the latest figures from BC Statistics show the Silver City adding some bulk to its populace—rising .2 per cent to 7,283—it is dropping out of contention, behind the steady growth of second place Castlegar and the head start Nelson has, and remains as the region’s third largest community.
Although adding 18 people in the last year gives the city some growth, the Sunflower City has enjoyed steady growth since 2006—and grew by .5 per cent (42 people) in the last year—when the two centres were only 112 people apart with Trail at 7,248 and Castlegar at 7,360.
And, although Trail jumped to 7,365 in 2007 to 2008, it could not sustain that level and began to drop, bottoming out at 7,239 in 2010 before it began to slowly climb back up.
In February Statistics Canada reported Trail had a six per cent increase to 7,681 people living in the city last year, compared to 7,237 in 2006, while Castlegar was 7,816, rising from 7,259. Nelson went from 9,258 to 10,230.
There is a discrepancy between the two totals, but the B.C. Stats numbers were extrapolated from 2006 census figures, said Jackie Storen, director of demographic analysis with B.C. Stats, and were not based on the 2011 Statistics Canada Census.
B.C. Stats figures are adjusted for net census under coverage in 2006—then births, deaths and migration since the 2006 Census are added or subtracted—this accounts for the difference in what the census reported.
“We look at changes in hydro connections and MSP membership (Medical Services Plan) on a community by community basis and that gives us an idea of how communities are changing on an annual basis,” she said.
In January, 2014, the province’s totals will reflect the new census figures.
Throughout the Kootenay Boundary region Trail’s recent growth was behind only Fruitvale (up .6 per cent) and the unincorporated areas (rural) that rose by .6 per cent to 10,949.
However, Fruitvale’s influx amounted to 12 people in the last year, with the village moving to 2,035, still below its seven-year high of 2,049 in 2008. Other Greater Trail areas enjoyed minor increases—Montrose rising by .2 per cent (two people)—or decreases—Warfield dropping .2 per cent (four people).

One of the premier advocates against the installation of smart meters will be speak-ing in one of the last smart-meter-free bas-tions.
Jerry Flynn, a for-mer captain in the C o m m u n i c a t i o n s E l e c t r o n i c s Engineering Branch of the Royal Canadian Navy, has marked Trail for an anti-smart meter presentation on Feb. 2 (2-4 p.m.) at the Royal Canadian Legion.
Flynn has studied most aspects of wire-less radio communica-tions, including radio theory, antenna theory (both transmitting and receiving anten-nas), the ionosphere and radio propagation, solar storms and solar flares, and the electro-magnetic frequency spectrum.
“Efforts are con-tinuing and I remain hopeful,” he said in an email.
A provincial man-date to affix smart meters to the sides of West Kootenay homes is now being aired by the B.C. Utilities Commission. FortisBC has filed an applica-tion to bring the tech-nology into 115,000 West Kootenay and Okanagan homes.See PROJECT, Page 3

A pre-trial hearing this week was told that Nelson’s Dr. Warren Fischer is accused of evading about $66,000 in income taxes over three years.
Fischer is charged with three counts each of making false
statements and evad-ing payments in 2006, 2007, 2008. His trial is scheduled for April 22 to 25 and June 24 to 27.
Federal prosecu-tor Nils Preshaw told Judge Lisa Mrozinski in Nelson Provincial Court on Wednesday the Crown plans to
call about 20 witness-es. He also revealed the amount Fischer is alleged not to have paid.
Fischer was given until March 29 to submit any prelimin-ary motions, and the Crown until April 12 to respond.
Fischer, who asked to be addressed Wednesday as “Fischer Beneficiary,” declined to accept disclosure documents and said he wanted to settle the matter.
“You have all the evidence here. I’m here today. Why can’t we do it?” he asked.
“Because it’s not the trial date,” Mrozinski replied. “Other indi-viduals are going to have their opportunity in court today. You’ll have your day in court
on April 22. I know you’re looking for-ward to that.”
Fischer, co-found-er of the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences, was charged in March of last year and has made three previous court appear-ances.
He previously said he was an ambassa-dor of the Sovereign Squamish Nation, which claims “free-dom from taxes pur-suant to legislated common law jurisdic-tion governance.”
Courts have con-sistently rejected this argument, also known as the freeman or nat-ural person defence. Adherents believe statute law is contrac-tual and applies only if a person consents to it.
In 2006, former Nelson dentist Dr. Eva Sydel was convicted of nine counts relat-ing to failure to report almost $1 million in income. She argued that as a natural per-son, she wasn’t bound by the Income Tax Act.
Sydel was sen-tenced to 18 months in jail and fined over $244,000. She served out her jail sentence but appealed her conviction, argu-ing she was the vic-tim of a conspiracy of Freemasons and Jews.
Sydel was a disciple of Chilliwack’s Russell Porisky, who last May was sentenced to four and a half years in jail for counselling hun-dreds of people not to pay their income tax using the natural per-son theory.

B Y C P L D A V E J O H N S O NGreater Trail and District RCMPOn Jan. 15, police were called
to a residence in the Waneta area to a report of a domestic dis-turbance in response to a call to 911. Upon arrival police located two intoxicated people that at first claimed nothing was wrong and police could leave. Police con-tinued to speak with the individ-uals, each claimed the other had assaulted them and there were visible injuries. Both parties then claimed nothing had happened. Both were arrested and released with a court date, a report to Crown Counsel has been submit-ted.
On Jan. 20, 911 dispatchers received a call from a female stat-ing that she had dialed by mistake and that there was no problem, dispatchers felt the caller sounded shaky and a check of police files indicated a history of domestic abuse. Police attended immediate-ly and found the female at home
claiming nothing had happened, the house was checked and all appeared ok. Further follow up checks will occur on the home.
Police were called to a home in the Shavers Bench area of Trail on Jan. 22 where an assault had occurred between two family members. A male was arrested for aggravated assault
after he allegedly hit his brother in the face with an object caus-ing lacerations that were not life threatening. The male is known to police and he was held in custody and appeared before a Judge the next morning. The male was held in custody until his next court date early in February.
The winter carnival in Rossland runs this weekend and police hope all attending have a fun and safe time. Police would also like to remind anyone attending the events that the Liquor Control Act will be enforced and violation tickets issued for drinking in pub-lic places.
FROM PAGE 1Up on the mountain, the
Golden City lost a bit of its luster as it fell by five people (.1 per cent) to 3,650 after stead-ily climbing from 3,278 over the last seven years. Stats Can reported that Rossland’s popu-lation jumped up by 8.5 per cent to 3,556 in 2011 from 3,278 in 2006.
Overall, the regional district population rose by 14 people to 31,887, but BC Stats recorded it as zero. It is down from the 32,149 people the district con-tained in 2009.
Grand Forks was the hardest hit Kootenay-Boundary com-munity in losing 1.5 per cent of their population, or 57 people. The city has lost 427 people since 2008.
According to Statistics Canada, Fruitvale was up 3.3 per cent to 2,016 residents from 1,952; Montrose was up 1.8 per cent to 1,030 from 1,012 while Warfield sank by 1.7 per cent to 1,700 from 1,729. Overall, the Kootenay Boundary district population rose 1.3 per cent to 31,138 residents.
Nelson is still the largest
West Kootenay community at 9,810, but had zero growth in the last year.
In fact, the Heritage City has been up and down over the last seven years, hitting a high of 9,950 in 2009 before it began to drop.
The town of Creston was the only one to drop in the Central Kootenay Regional District at .4 per cent (19 people) while most places enjoyed marginal or no growth.
Overall, the RDCK grew by .3 per cent (180 people) in the last year to 60,896.

Fruitvale is getting the ball rolling for children’s charity.
On Saturday, Beaver Valley Lanes will host its first Fruitvale Variety Winter Carnival from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.
The event is part of the B.C. bowling com-munity’s two-month-long fundraiser in support of Variety-The Children’s charity.
“Beaver Valley Lanes has been involved for years with Bowl BC and their annual fundraiser for Variety,” said Kris MacGillivray, manager of BV Lanes.
“This year I wanted to go one step further and involve the com-munity.”
Last year, BV Lanes raised $2600, and this year MacGillivray is hoping to strike her $3000 goal.
Taking advantage of the frosty climate, MacGillivray has built a few lanes outside the bowling alley and is inviting the commun-ity to bowl for Variety.
The pins will be fro-
zen two litre bottles of ice and the balls are also made of ice, said MacGillivray.
Other activities planned for the fun-filled day include shots on goal, music by Freaky Frog, face painting and a BBQ fest donated by the rotary.
The idea was a hit with Patricia Cecchini, mayor of Fruitvale and co-host of the event.
“This gives the community some-thing to celebrate in January,” she said.
Bowl BC has been involved in Variety-The Children’s Charity for 27 years and has raised over 2.5 million dollars through all the bowling lanes in BC.
V a r i e t y - T h e Children’s Charity raises funds and distributes grants throughout BC to help children with special needs.

The City of Trail’s pubic works department is preparing to solicit bids on bringing down the Eagles Hall on the corner of Bay Street and Helena Avenue. The demolition could take place in early spring if the bidding process is successful.
McIsaac said the lot where the hall once stood will function as a temporary parking area until the Downtown Action Plan is implemented.

The B.C. govern-ment’s proposed new bargaining framework for teachers has been rejected by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation.
Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Don McRae unveiled their propos-al Thursday, calling it a new path to a 10-year agreement to “labour peace” with the prov-ince’s 40,000 public school teachers.
The proposed framework calls for pay increases based on an average of nurses, post-secondary faculty and other government employees, and a sep-arate “education policy council” to administer funds for classroom support.
Clark and McRae stressed that it would offer teachers a formal role in policy deci-sions, and a voice in allocating a “priority education investment fund” that would rise to $100 million by the third year.
BCTF president Susan Lambert said the proposal was shared with her Wednesday, and she considers it a “non-starter.” Removing class size and special needs support issues
from union negotia-tions is unacceptable, she said.
“It’s quite ludi-crous that govern-ment would hold out a 10-year deal in trade for giving up
bargaining rights that we have fought long and hard for in the courts,” Lambert told CKNW radio. “We fought a 10-year battle to achieve a decision that, yes, teachers
have a constitutional right to bargain work-ing conditions.”
The union has another legal action in process, based on a precedent-setting rul-ing by the Supreme
Court of Canada that overturned parts of legislation passed by the B.C. Liberals in 2002. That case is to go to B.C. Supreme Court next fall.
Clark said the intent is to elevate discus-sion, not to achieve a long-term deal before the May election.
“It’s not about help-ing the government, and it’s not about helping the union. It’s about helping the kids,” Clark said. “I know that’s a culture shift for many of the parties around the table, including the government, but we have to do it.”
Lambert said the timing of the govern-ment’s announcement is surprising, since the BCTF and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association have just reached their own ten-tative agreement on new bargaining frame-work.
To be voted on by executives of the school district bar-gaining agent and the BCTF, it includes a shared method for calculating costs. Last year’s teacher strike was marked by huge discrepancies in the costs of raises and other bargaining pro-posals.

NewsThe local school
board is looking for ways to find $1.1 mil-lion dollars to balance its budget and Lynette Kershaw says school
closures are “the very last thing we would contemplate.”
Kershaw, the board chair, said they are in the first stages of this year’s budget process and haven’t delved into the details yet.
But she and other board members said they will stay true to the platform they were elected on, intent on keeping schools open.
“It’s clear to the board that all com-munities, the schools
that are in the com-munities, are special central places to them, so any kind of school closures would be the very last thing we would contemplate.”
A draft budget is set to be tabled by the end of March, Kershaw said, and in the meantime the board will be gather-ing information from
staff and engaging the public and stakeholder groups.
Numbers are up for the International Student Program in the district, resulting in additional revenues of $145,000 for the year. With the increase of ISP students at the schools addition-al staffing funds of $63,000 were required.

Education Minister Don McRae and Premier Christy Clark announce their proposed new teacher bargaining structure at a Surrey elementary school Thursday.
T h e c a n a d i a n P r e s sKAMLOOPS, B.C. - An oldtimers hockey
team hit the ice as darkness fell Wednesday, but they weren’t chasing a puck.
The Old Dogs jumped into action and probably saved the lives of a woman and two dogs after they plunged into the water from a ledge of ice along the Thompson River.
Team mem-bers were hav-ing a few beers with a clear view of the riverfront a stone’s throw away when they saw the woman and the dogs break through the ice.
“We were just trying to help the young lady out of the river when she went in,” said Bert Kant, drying out after his January dip.
“I missed the Polar Bear Swim,” he quipped, adding “We can laugh because everything is OK.”
Kathryn Easton was walking her broth-er’s dog along the shore when the animal fell into the river. With another, smaller dog on her shoulders, she tried to rescue the canine on her own.
“We watched her go down,” said Yvonne Johnson, another witness.
“That water’s cold and it’s running. It could have been a catastrophe.”
Knowing the risks of compounding the crisis - the ice is unstable, especially at its outer edges - they seized a flag and used the pole to extend their reach.
“You can see where it opened up,” said Paul Bourassa, another team member. “We thought she was trying to get the dog. In fact, she was in trouble. She’s lucky, that woman.”
Though air temperatures have warmed slightly, the water remains extremely cold. Someone immersed in the river wouldn’t have long before they lost strength.
“It’s not a shock when you need to do something,” said Bob Reid, one of the res-cuers who got wet.
“She would have drowned, no question,” added teammate Tom Blair.
By the time police arrived, all were safely ashore.
Paramedics checked Easton’s vitals after the incident and she was reported to be OK. Wrapped in a blanket in the back of a police car, she wanted to say thanks to her rescuers.

PROTESTING CUTS TO PARKS
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SREGINA - If you
own property in Saskatchewan, chan-ces are it is worth a lot more now than it was just four years ago.
The Saskatchewan government says the overall value of prop-erty in Saskatchewan has increased by 67 per cent over the past four years. The assessment of property has grown from $58 billion in 2009 to $97 billion in the 2013 revaluation
year.“I think that’s good
news. That’s a sign of a growing economy,” said Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter.
“Of course, the other side of the equa-tion is people are con-cerned about what effect that’s going to have on property tax.”
Both municipal-ities and the provincial government set prop-erty tax rates, with the province setting the
education portion to pay for kindergarten to Grade 12.
Reiter says the province is going to take a look at ways to lessen the potential impact of the increase.
“Essentially it’s going to be where the mill rate gets set for the various property classes,” Reiter said.
“There’s a lot of moving parts to this process, so we’ve got a lot of work to do yet during the budget pro-
cess. But the obvious one is, we will be lowering the mill rates from where they cur-rently are, the ques-tion is how much.”
The current mill rate on residential properties is 9.51, so that means people pay $9.51 for every $1,000 of property value.
“I can’t give you a dollar amount. We’re still too far away from determining that,.”
SASKATCHEWAN
Property values soar in four years
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - The
Conservative gov-ernment’s spending restraint is focus-ing on front-line services while back-office spending con-tinues to rise, says a new report from the Parliamentary Budget Office.
That’s exactly the opposite of prom-ises made by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, who said last year that the majority of Ottawa’s $5.2-billion austerity program would target admin-istrative and sup-port costs without impacting service to the public.
The PBO reviewed actual government spending from April to September 2012, along with main and supplementary spend-ing estimates, to arrive at its calculations.
Overall, the independent budget office found that Ottawa’s spending was down $800 million, or 0.6 per cent, through the first six months of the current fiscal year, which ends March 31.
Direct program spending fell four per cent, mostly because almost 11,000 civil service jobs were elim-inated in the first half of the year.
But spending on
internal services - such as communications, information technol-ogy, human resources and financial manage-ment - rose by eight per cent to $5.3 bil-lion, according to the PBO.
“The continued increase in Internal Services expenditure suggests that spend-ing growth on over-head has not been cur-tailed, as suggested in Budgets 2010 through 2012, and the focus of restraint exercises has instead been on reduced spending to front line services,” said the report.
The PBO notes that capital expenditures, in large part driven by Defence spending, also climbed in the first half of 2012-13, up almost seven per cent.
The Conservative budget, delivered last March, promised to cut $5.2 billion in spending over five years, but asserted that 70 per cent of the austerity would come from internal efficien-cies.
“The majority of the spending review reductions relate to back-office operations of government,” Flaherty said in his 2012 budget speech. “They don’t relate to service delivery by government.”
Kevin Page, the parliamentary budget officer whose five-year term is almost over, undermined that claim in November when he reported that departmental reports indicated just 15 per cent of planned sav-ings would come from internal services.
Treasury Board President Tony Clement, who is overseeing the gov-ernment’s austerity measures, insisted at the time that Page was wrong, and did so again Thursday.
“This report under-estimates the savings from operational effi-ciencies because it does not include all back-office savings measures,” Clement spokesman Matthew Conway said in an email.
Government cuts hit front line, says PBO
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SMONTREAL - The Supreme

OPINION
Finally the little Englanders win bigThe real problem is
continental drift: Brussels, the cap-ital of the European
Union, is getting further and further away from England. Or at least that is British Prime Minister David Cameron’s line.
Cameron made his long awaited speech promis-ing a referendum on con-tinued British membership in the European Union on Wedneday, and he placed the blame squarely on plate tectonics: “People are increasingly frustrated that decisions taken further and further away from them mean their living stan-dards are slashed through enforced austerity or their taxes are used to bail out governments on the other side of the continent.”
The “frustrated” people in question are English, of course. Hostility to the European Union is mainly an English thing, but that matters a lot in the United Kingdom, where 55 million of the kingdom’s 65 million people live in England.
The Scottish national-ists seeking separation from England in their own referendum take the opposite tack. They prom-ise the Scottish electorate that leaving the UK would NOT mean leaving the European Union (although in fact Scotland would probably have to re-apply
for membership). Scottish politicians have to promise to stay in the EU, because otherwise very few Scottish voters would say “yes” to independence. But England is different.
The “Little Englander” glories in the notion of England being unencum-bered by foreign ties and commitments. It’s the kind of nationalism that Americans call “isolation-ism”, and the phrase is now used to describe strongly nationalist, even xeno-phobic people on the right of English politics. Those people, always present in significant numbers within Cameron’s Conservative Party, have now won the internal party debate.
Every Conservative lead-er has had to deal with these people. They always managed to contain them in the past, because the European Union is Britain’s biggest trading partner, and it is obviously in Britain’s interest to belong to the organisation that makes the rules for Europe’s “single market”. What has changed is that the long recession and relatively high immigration of recent years have increased the popularity of the extreme right in England.
That doesn’t mean that populist demagogues and neo-fascists are about to win power in the United
Kingdom. Far from it: they’d be lucky to get 10 percent of the vote. But it does mean that the Conservatives are los-ing their more right-wing supporters to the anti-EU, anti-immigration United Kingdom Independence Party. UKIP could never win an election in Britain, but it could easily steal enough votes from the Conservatives to make them lose the next elec-tion. So there has been mounting panic in the Conservative Party, and not just among its instinctively anti-EU members.
Cameron’s promise of a referendum on EU mem-bership is first and foremost an attempt to steal UKIP’s thunder and win back the defecting Conservative vot-ers. He doesn’t really want to leave the EU, but he really does want to win the election that is due in 2015.
His reluctance to be the
man who took Britain out of the EU was evident in the way he hedged around his referendum promise. The referendum would not take place until after the next election, and only if the Conservative Party won enough seats in 2015 to form a government on its own. (Its current coali-tion partner, the Liberal Democratic Party, opposes the whole idea).
Cameron says he will spend the next two years renegotiating the terms of Britain’s EU membership to “repatriate” many powers from Brussels to London, and to make various chan-ges in the way the EU is run. Then, if he is satisfied with the outcome, he will support EU membership in the election and in the sub-sequent referendum, which will be held by 2017. But he had no satisfactory answer to the hard questions that followed his speech.
What if the 26 other EU members choose not to waste months in talks on changing Britain’s relation-ship with the EU? What if they do negotiate but refuse to tie themselves up in knots just to ease Cameron’s local political problems? Would he sup-port continued EU mem-bership in the promised ref-erendum if he didn’t have a “new deal” to offer the voters. He simply wouldn’t
answer those questions.There is much that
could be done to improve the accountability and efficiency of the European Union, but it is not helpful to open a negotiation with 26 other governments by standing at the exit door and threatening to leave if you do not get your way. The time may well come when Cameron has to answer those questions, and he probably does not know himself which way he would jump.
So for the next four years, all those foreign companies that have been using the United Kingdom as a convenient, English-speaking centre to pro-duce goods and services for the European market will be re-thinking their investment strategies. If the United Kingdom may leave the EU by 2017, is this really the right place to put their money? It will prob-ably be a long dry season for the British economy.
How did an allegedly grown-up country talk itself into this position? It’s an attitude that was summed up in an apoc-ryphal English newspaper headline of the 1930s: “Fog in (the English) Channel; Continent Cut Off.”

One benefit of the National Hockey League strike: it gave people time to play
outside on real ice! But outdoor skating could face the same difficul-ties as the NHL – a drastically shorter season or outright cancel-lation. Research from Montreal’s McGill and Concordia uni-versities shows global warming is already having an effect on outdoor rinks in Canada.
“Many locations across the country have seen significant decreases in the length of the OSS (outdoor skating season), as measured by the number of cold winter days conducive to the creation of rink ice,” their study states. “This is particu-larly true across the Prairies, and in Southwest Canada, which showed the largest (and most statistically significant) decreases in the calculated OSS length between 1951 and 2005.”
This echoes a 2009 David Suzuki Foundation (DSF) report, “On Thin Ice: Winter Sports and Climate Change”. The McGill investigation looks at constructed outdoor rinks while DSF’s focuses on frozen rivers, canals and lakes, but the conclusions are similar.
Both predict that, unless we rein in greenhouse gas emis-sions, outdoor skating in parts of Canada could be history within the next 50 to 100 years (the McGill study’s authors now say it could happen within 20
to 30 years), and the length of the outdoor skating season will continue to decline across the country.
Meanwhi le , at Ontario’s Wilfrid Laurier University, geog-raphers have launched www.RinkWatch.org, a website where people can rec-ord information about backyard or neighbour-hood rink con-ditions over the winter.
“Our hope is that Canadians from coast to coast will help us track changes in skating condi-tions, not just this year, but for many years to come,” associate professor Robert McLeman said in a release.
“This data will help us deter-mine the impact of climate change on winter in terms of length of season and average temperatures.”
According to the DSF report, one of Canada’s best-loved out-door skating venues, Ottawa’s Rideau Canal, provides an example of what to expect.
It concludes that, with cur-rent emissions trends, the can-al’s skating season could shrink from the previous average of nine weeks to 6.5 weeks by 2020, less than six weeks by 2050 and just one week by the end of the century. In fact, two winters ago, the season lasted 7.5 weeks, and last year it was down to four. The canal had yet to fully open for skating.
“On Thin Ice” notes that many of Canada’s hockey heroes got their start on out-door rinks. “Without pond
hockey, we probably wouldn’t have what has become the mod-ern game of hockey,” the auth-ors state. The DSF study says climate change could have a profound effect on many other winter sports, from skiing and snowboarding to winter moun-taineering.
With food and water prob-lems caused by more frequent droughts and floods, property losses and high infrastructure costs from rising sea levels, and increasing illness and death from extreme weather and pol-lution, hockey may be the least of our worries.
But losing winter recrea-tion opportunities, let alone our ability to produce food and keep our homes warm and people healthy, needn’t happen.
Solutions to our human-created problems exist. We just need our leaders to start taking this and other environmental issues seriously.
That’s not likely as long as we keep electing people who show more concern for the future of the fossil fuel industry than the citizens they are sup-posed to represent. Politicians who only look ahead three or four years – until the next elec-tion – aren’t seeing the big picture.
We need to consider every solution possible, now – from putting a price on emissions through carbon taxes and/or cap-and-trade to stopping the rapid exploitation of fossil fuels and switching to cleaner energy sources.
A skate or hockey game out-side is a good place to start!

An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press
The federal government says it’s going to tighten its security after an external hard drive with personal informa-tion on 583,000 Canadians was either lost, stolen, dumped in the garbage or whatever.
All that’s known for sure is the data contained sensitive information on student loans, such as names, dates of birth, social insurance numbers, addresses and other facts that could cause serious problems, such as identity theft, if it ended up in the wrong hands.
The fact the hard drive was missing was only discovered during an investigation into the loss of a USB key late last year. That device held information on some 5,000 Canadians.
The government’s response was glacial. It took 23 days from the time the disappear-ance (theft?) was noticed on Nov. 5 until the security office
was notified, and another nine days before the nature of the missing information was iden-tified.
Eight days later, the pri-vacy commissioner was noti-fied, but another 24 days went by before the RCMP were told. The public was informed on Jan. 11, more than two months after the problem was discovered.
The government says port-able hard drives will no longer be used and unapproved USB keys are not to be connected to the network. Risk assess-ments are being conducted and all employees will receive mandatory training on the handling of sensitive informa-tion.
Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, the department that lost the information, says the barn door has been closed, but it is disturbing that it was left open for so long.
Private information has
always been vulnerable to neg-lect or misuse, but the advent of computer technology has greatly expanded the potential damage of unauthorized leaks because of the sheer volume of information that can be disseminated. In the days of paper files, it was a lot harder to lose 600,000 documents, unless they were old files that were dumped in the garbage, which is still occasionally a problem with companies that have old paper records.
Law societies and medical colleges have strict rules on the disposal of old records, but stories continue to pop up from time to time of sensitive files discovered in the garbage or recycling binds of law firms and doctors’ offices.
After what happened in the Human Resources Department, it is worth reminding the private sector and governments at all levels of the need for heightened security.

OBITUARIES
T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SST. LOUIS - The entrance to the
Cathedral Basilica looked more like that of a St. Louis Cardinals game on Thursday, just the way Stan Musial would have liked it.
Thousands of fans turned out for Musial’s public visitation at the ornate Roman Catholic church, many of them bundled up against the bitter cold in red Cardinals jackets. Musial, a 24-time All-Star who remained a beloved figure in his adopted home-town a half-century after his play-ing career ended, died Saturday after years of declining health. He was 92.
Family, close friends and perhaps some of baseball’s biggest names will
be back at the cathedral for a funeral on Saturday. Thursday was for the fans.
Hours before the event began, hundreds lined Lindell Avenue lead-ing to the steps of the cathedral. Just an hour into the six-hour visitation, 1,400 people had arrived, according to a woman keeping track.
When a bell chimed once as the doors opened, 68-year-old Evelyn Bourisaw, dressed in a red coat, exclaimed, “Time to play ball!”
Among the first to go in were Audrey Kissel, 86, and Erma Bergman, 88. The two were kindred spirits of Musial, not only of his generation but also former ballplayers. Kissel played
second base and Bergman pitched in a women’s professional league during World War II.
Rope lines moved mourn-ers toward the open casket. Musial was dressed in a red blazer and a Cardinals necktie. His harmonica was in the front pocket.
Retired car salesman Bill Sanders, 64, was like many fans, as taken with Musial’s good-natured ways as his considerable baseball prowess. Sanders noted that not once in a 22-year career did Musial get tossed out of a game.
“He was a true gentleman,” Sanders said. “He even liked the umpires.”

Crowds turn out to pay their respects
T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SSANTA CLARA, Calif. -
Jackie Harbaugh will wear a neutral-colored outfit, still to be determined. Her daughter, Joani Crean, little sister to coaching brothers John and Jim Harbaugh, plans to sport all black at the Super Bowl to show no allegiances whatsoever.
“I am wearing what-ever fits that day,” Crean quipped.
The entire Harbaugh family - a close-knit, hyper-competitive crew that also includes Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean - realizes it has already won big. They got their Super Bowl vic-tory on Sunday, when each coach did his part to ensure a family reunion in New Orleans next week, with John’s Baltimore Ravens facing off against Jim’s San Francisco 49ers in the first Super Bowl with sibling coaches on opposite side-lines.
One Harbaugh will haul home the Lombardi Trophy from the Big Easy.
And, no, the family members haven’t decided where to sit for the Feb. 3 NFL title game at the Superdome - or at least they aren’t revealing it if they have.
“We are neutral in the Super Bowl, and we are just excited that they have brought their teams to the pinnacle of sports,” Jackie Harbaugh said Thursday. “The Super Bowl is the ultimate accomplishment for them and for their teams and for all of the extended football family and all of
the teams who have partici-pated in this great game. We are excited for that type of thing.”
Her sons, all of 15 months apart, have tried to downplay this match-up from the moment it developed - each wanting to keep the focus on the players, on the field.
The Harbaughs have been inundated with well wishes and media requests since the moment John’s Ravens beat New England on Sunday night a few hours after the 49ers won at Atlanta. This matchup provides the storyline of storylines, one that will compete with Ravens star Ray Lewis’ last hurrah before retirement and the emergence of second-year San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick (in a savvy move, he had pizza
delivered to the overcrowd-ed press trailer Thursday).
Fortunately for the Harbaugh folks, they’ve been through this once before - albeit on a slightly smaller stage: prime time on Thanksgiving night 2011. John’s Ravens won 16-6 at home.
“We experienced that last year at Thanksgiving,” Jack Harbaugh said, “the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.”
Jack visited each locker room after that game and observed the “smile on John’s face,” then headed over to see how Jim was handling it.
“It was quiet and sombre, and finally I saw Jim, all by himself, no one around him,” Jack said. “He still had his coaching thing on, and his hands on his head, and we realized
that that is where we were needed. . And we know we are going to experience that next week.”
For Jackie Harbaugh, who has held things togeth-er for decades and is known to offer up a sports cliche or two herself, the real cele-bration began last weekend.
“I felt that was a joyful moment for them, for our whole family, our extended family and for my father, who is 97 years old,” she said. “Great feeling of joy. I am going to be neutral in the game, and I know one is going to win and one is going to lose, but I would really like to end in a tie. Can the NFL do that?”
If only it could finish that way.
And don’t count on Jack doing any in-game analysis, or to start guessing which team might have the edge in any given phase.
“I’m only neutral on that,” he said. “I don’t look for body language. I am not really a coach anymore. I am a spectator and a par-ent.
“When I had the chance to watch over the week-end, all of those parents of those players that were competing and the thrill of watching their youngsters compete at that level, all of the coaches involved, their careers, how they all started out in high school and col-lege, and now they are in the NFL and competing for this ultimate prize. I think more as a parent now than I do as a coach, and I don’t really get involved in those other things.”

B Y B R I A N L A W R E N C ECreston Valley Advance
Four dogs from the Creston Valley were taken to Vancouver on Jan. 19, headed from Creston’s Pet Adoption Welfare Society (PAWS) shelter to a new life offering companionship to vet-erans.
The dogs were the first to be distrib-uted through Citadel Therapy Canines, a non-profit society that also makes therapy dogs available to sen-iors and children.
“It just happened to turn out that they are all from here,” said training director Diana Miller, who operates Helping Paws Service Dogs in the Creston Valley.
Tommy and Barney (10-month-old German shep-herd crosses), Chevie (three-year-old Shar-Pei-Great Dane cross) and Kenzie (German shepherd) recently completed a six-week training program — called “basic training” because it’s veteran-related — to qualify
them with Citadel. (Kenzie’s littermate, Jane, will be sent with three others at a later date.)
Miller and PAWS president Vicki McDonald went to Vancouver ahead of the dogs to interview potential recipients.
“We have to pick which ones would be right for them,” said Miller.
The dogs already meet Assistance Dog International require-ments, but their train-ing will go further once they arrive at their new homes, fol-lowing a flight donat-ed by Pacific Coastal Airlines.
“Once they’re paired up with new owners, they go through a 14-week training pro-gram,” said Miller. “It’s very structured.”
The second round trains both the dogs and their owner, who learn handling skills, obedience, grooming, general care, feeding, first aid, public man-ners and etiquette. And if required, the dogs may go through still
further training to become actual service dogs.
Miller gives a lot of credit for the dogs’ success to McDonald, Pat May and Joan Halvorsen, who worked with the dogs around town, as well as to local business owners who allowed the dogs inside.
“We want to thank local business for allowing public access,” said Miller.
“It’s been so huge for their training.”
People in the com-munity, too, have been helpful, not distract-ing the dogs by pet-ting them or speaking to them while they are wearing their blue training vests.
“Members of the community have been really good about that,” said May.
Although these four dogs were unwanted and turned over to the
PAWS shelter, their future looks bright, partly because of the second chance given to them by PAWS.
“Volunteers spend time to make sure they are adoptable,” said Miller.
“These were throw-away dogs,” said May. “People didn’t want them. Now, look what they’ve become in the community!”

Don’t let the fur fool you.
Assessing how long to let pets stay outdoors should be based on numerous factors including the animal’s breed, coat type, general health, and age, according to an online article ori-ginally published by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association.
If an animal is left outside unsupervised and snow, sleet or rain develops, it won’t be able to hold its body temperature without proper shelter to take ref-uge.
Salt can get trapped in a pet’s paws after a walk. The association suggests trim-ming excess hair from between a pet’s toes, where it tends to trap salt. Ensure any resid-ual salt is rinsed off or removed with a damp cloth and fully dried back at home. Coating the hair between the undersides of the toes with a thin layer of petroleum jelly can help to repel the ice
If a dog is vis-ibly shivering and lifting up its paws, seemingly unwill-ing to stand on them, that could be an indication of discomfort.

Violent TimesI guess this piece is somewhat of a rant but also a comment on our society. Like most of you I am concerned about the increase of violent crimes, especially with guns. Now I want to make it clear, I am not against law-abiding citizens owning guns, with which they hunt and enjoy other recreational activities. But, does the average person really need an assault rifle and equally powerful handgun?It would appear that our pursuit of freedom and liberty is bordering on anarchy. In order for all to enjoy the fruit of freedom there must be constraints. People have in the past and will in the future kill people; this is not a new development. Are we becoming more violent as a society?
Against what time in history would we compare ourselves?The question we must ask is, are we our brother’s keeper? If we continue to buy into the notion that it’s all about me and to hell with everyone else, I would propose that the slope is slippery and the prognosis not very good. When our freedoms create the monsters we now see played out in the news, it is time to rethink those freedoms. Jesus taught us to love our neighbor, and to take care of the poor, the weak, and the needy. In the words of the pop song, “what the world needs now, is love sweet love” - and His name is Jesus.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S S WARSAW, Poland _ When he was appointed
the new leader of Poland’s influential Roman Catholic church in July 1981, many Poles were surprised, asking: Jozef who?
Five months later the new primate, Cardinal Jozef Glemp, was making a dramatic appeal, asking Poles to ``save lives and avoid blood-shed’’ under the martial law that had just been imposed by Communist authorities who felt threatened by massive opposition from the Solidarity freedom movement.
Glemp, the longtime head of Poland’s influ-ential Roman Catholic church, died Wednesday in Warsaw from lung cancer at the age of 83, church officials said.
A complicated figure, Glemp helped lead Poland peacefully through martial law and the fight against communism but was later labeled an anti-Semite for his opposition to removing a convent near the former Nazi death camp of Auschwitz.
In the early 1980s, a time of great national turmoil, Glemp’s goal was to protect the people, a mantle he carried through his 23 years lead-ing the church in this predominantly Catholic nation.
Warsaw Archbishop Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz said Thursday that Glemp was a leader ``in a difficult time’’ and praised his prudence and wisdom.
At the start, many Poles were disappointed to see the modest and little-known bishop from Warmia succeed such giant as Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski, who had become a legend of the church’s resilience and resistance under Communist repression.
Glemp, a lawyer by education, was a person of ``great humility and wisdom, guided by com-mon sense,’’ said Lublin Archbishop Stanislaw Budzik. ``Many did not understand him at the time. It later turned out he was a prophet’’ who saw the dangers of violence and prevented it.
In a sermon after martial law was declared, Glemp said that an ``act of mad despair means a defeat.’’ He then protested vehemently when the Communist regime tried to interpret his words as siding with them.
Glemp was criticized for his conciliatory tac-tics but they helped Poland go mostly peacefully through 18 months of harsh military rule and through the economic struggles of the 1980s.
Under Glemp’s guidance, the church offered spiritual and material support to Solidarity activists and dissidents, many of whom lost their jobs. He supported Solidarity leader, Lech Walesa, who won the 1983 Nobel Peace Prize for his advocacy of freedom.
Glemp’s calm also disarmed the bitterness and anger that rose in Poland after the secret security abducted and murdered a pro-Solidarity priest, Jerzy Popieluszko, in 1984. Glemp later said, however, he had a sense of guilt for having failed to save the priest despite his efforts.
A clever political strategist, Glemp played an active role in helping end communism in Poland, when church authorities initiated and guaranteed the fairness of political nego-tiations between Solidarity and the weakening Communists in 1988 and 1989. The Communist regime ended peacefully through partially free elections in 1989.
Glemp remained the head of the Polish bishops’ conference until 2004, and retained the title of primate, the top leader, until 2009. His leadership largely coincided with the papacy of John Paul II, who was elected pope in 1979 and died in 2005, and whose words and first visit to Poland as pope in 1979 had inspired the Solidarity movement.
Three days of funeral ceremonies will begin Saturday and he will be buried Monday at St. John’s Arch Cathedral in Warsaw.

Greater Trail Minor Hockey Association (GTMHA) is mobil-izing the troops in search of nominations for hockey heroes in the community.
GTMHA’s long time volun-teer and referee Glenn Wallace leads the initiative to get people on board the “Kraft Hockey Goes On” wagon.
The program, announced earlier this week, is helping Canadians share their passion for the game by recognizing important local volunteers who make hockey happen in communities across Canada. Through the program, 25 indi-viduals will be celebrated and $1 million will be awarded to Hockey Canada-affiliated organizations.
“All our local programs are so successful because of those volunteers, which has always been the case, but just to get people thinking about what volunteers have done in the past and how we can use the ones that are helping us today, so we can move forward with some of our initiatives,” said Wallace.
Considering Greater Trail’s rich hockey history and affin-ity for the sport, the number of worthy nominees should be substantial.
Until Mar. 8, Greater Trail residents can nominate some-one who dedicates their time and effort to ensure hockey goes on within their com-munity by visiting www.KraftHockeyGoesOn.ca.
“I think there’s no problem with nominating a whole bunch
of people, and I’d sure like to see that happen,” said Wallace. “The more we nominate the more it shows how important volunteers are to our program . . . but in the end, Kraft is going to select the nominees who are the most worthy of winning this promotion.”
Individuals selected will be based on online submissions of up to 2,500 characters, so qual-ity as much as quantity is key.
“You have to say the right things, you’ve got to make sure that you have all the informa-tion that you think is import-ant,” said Wallace. “You want to impress the judges that this person represents the kind of volunteer they want to recog-nize.”
“Kraft Hockey Goes On” is celebrating the top five individ-uals who keep hockey going in communities by awarding their chosen local hockey associa-tions each with $100,000.
An additional 20 individuals will be recognized and their chosen hockey associations will each receive $20,000. The pro-gram will also donate $100,000 to Hockey Canada to distribute to Learn to Skate programs at the local level.
“There are over four mil-lion hockey volunteers across Canada and it is because of their passion and dedication that Canadian children have the chance to play the game and dream big,” said Jack Hewitt, Vice President of Marketing for Kraft Canada, in a release. “This is our way of saying thanks to these local hockey support-ers for their commitment to Canada’s favourite sport.”
A panel of judges will nar-row the nominations down to the top 100. Canadians can then vote online for their top choice amongst the 100 nom-inees from Mar. 23 – 24.
“(After the selection) they will turn it back to the public to select the ones that they think are most worthy and that’s when we need the public in Greater Trail to get behind any volunteers from our area that make the top 100,” said Wallace.
The top nominees receiving funds for their chosen hockey association will be announced on Mar. 30.
It is a wonderful opportun-ity to recognize Greater Trail volunteers and, in the event of a possible windfall, make improvements to Greater Trail arena facilities or contribute to GTMHA programs.
“Every day we watch local hockey supporters come together to share their love of the game and make hockey hap-pen at the community level,” said Bob Nicholson, President and CEO, Hockey Canada.
“Whether it’s a coach or a parent driving carpool, these people are at the heart of hock-ey in this country. We’re so pleased that this program will recognize their hard work and dedication to the sport.”
Residents can make nom-inations online at www.KraftHockeyGoesOn.ca or sub-mit them by email to Greater Trail minor hockey at [email protected] or go to www.gtmha.com for more contact info.

J. L. Crowe forward Devin Wescott gets a little harm going to the hoop as the Grade 8 Hawks won a close 38-37 match against Trafalgar of Nelson Wednesday. The J. L. Crowe Grade 8 girls also won their game, a 43-22 victory over Stanley Humphries of Castlegar.
KRAFT HOCKEY GOES ON
B Y T I M E S S T A F FIt’s crunch time
for the Beaver Valley Nitehawks.
With eight games remaining in the regu-lar season, the Hawks sit three points back of the Neil Murdoch div-ision leading Castlegar Rebels and Nelson Leafs. With one less game to play, if B.V. is to catch the leaders, a win in every remain-ing match is all but essential.
The Rebels have been especially hot winning seven in a row despite salvaging a last-minute 2-1 win over the basement-languishing Grand Forks Border Bruins Tuesday.
The Hawks won
back-to-back games against the Spokane Braves, 9-4 and 7-4, last weekend, but were the victims of an over-zealous Spokane ref-eree on Saturday.
Much to the dis-pleasure of the Hawks coaching staff, the team was given a match penalty at the end of the game, which followed hot on the heels of five miscon-duct penalties handed out to Hawks with one second remaining in the game.
Dan Vlanich, Levi Kress, Archie McKinnon, and Michael Bell all received misconducts, while Arie Postmus, who was not on the ice when the altercation
occurred, was issued a game misconduct for fighting.
As a result, in his first game back after serving a three-game suspension, Nitehawk coach Terry Jones will be in the stands for the game against North Okanagan Friday.
In addition, Postmus, who has been a force on the back end all season, will also sit out the game.
At the same time, the Spokane team received a bench mis-conduct and a miscon-duct to Matt Thurston.
The Nitehawks face the Doug Birks division leading NO Knights Friday, before taking on second place
Sicamous Eagles.Beaver Valley
dropped a 3-1 game to the Knights back on Oct. 20 in B.V., but beat Sicamous 5-1 on Nov. 3.
Led by 17-year-old Matt Saharchuk, 23-22-45, line mate Derek Andrews, 14-31-45, and Mat Lambert, 17-27-44, the Knights are the hottest team in the league hav-ing reeled off eight straight wins.
Sicamous trails North Okanagan by five points (56) in the division, but have two games in hand. Brendan Devries leads the team in scoring and is eighth in the KIJHL with 24-30-54.

B Y T I M E S C O N T R I B U T O RRetiree Men’s curling was back
in the rings Monday at the Trail Curling Arena,
The Cal McKerracker rink jumped out to a 2-0 lead against the Hall foursome, and was looking good in the fifth with three rocks above the button in the four-foot ring. Hall’s third, John Dyer, then made a big weight take-out, remov-ing two, and sending the third to the back 12-foot ring. The shooter stuck around guarded for shot and the Hall team scored three and held on to take a 6-5 victory.
The Clair Coleman rink jumped out to a big 6-2 lead after only four ends over Cliff Tyson’s foursome. But Tyson rallied, counting a single point in the fifth, and then went on a crime spree, stealing singles in
the sixth, seventh. and eighth ends to tie the game 6 – 6.
After scoring four in the second end, the Siddall rink’s front end played well and kept the Koynagi rink from building any big ends. This style of play forced the Koynagi third and skip to try more difficult shots that did not pay off as Siddall won 8 - 3
Down 2-1 to Pasquali, the Horan rink stormed back, scoring one in the fourth then stealing points in the fifth, sixth, and seventh ends, before running the Pasquali team out of rocks for an 8-4 win.
The Primo Secco foursome was cruising along leading Harvey Handley 6-3 after five ends, but suddenly, scored three in the sixth to tie the game.

B y T i m e s s T a f fThe Rossland Secondary School
Royals’ senior girls basketball team is on a roll this season, knocking down 13 consecutive wins to start the year.
“The Rossland girls are having an excellent season so far,” said coach Rick McKinnon. “They’ve won three tournaments this year.”
Last weekend the RSS team trav-elled to Grand Forks where they matched up against familiar West Kootenay rivals.
In the Royals’ first game they buried Castlegar 60-10, before tak-ing down L. V. Rogers from Nelson
71-29. In the tournament finale, the Royals overcame a tough J. L. Crowe side winning 49 - 40 to take the Grand Forks title.
The Royals also seized top spot at the J. L. Crowe tournament earlier this year, then followed that up with a victory at the St. Ann’s Academy tournament in Kamloops. RSS decisively defeated Valemont 60-14 , St. Ann’s 67-21, and Kamloops Christian 72-48 in the final to win the tournament.
RSS is 13-0 this season and will continue its run to the single-A provincials with another tourna-ment in Creston this weekend.

Sports ‘n’ things
You cannot say enough about the KIJHL schedule maker’s prescience. The, by far, most competitive div-
ision in the league, the local Neil Murdoch division, will feature vir-tually a three-top-team, home-and-home round robin over the final two weeks of the season.
The Nelson Leafs have been the division’s and the league’s top team all season, and still hold that spot. The Castlegar Rebels and Beaver Valley Nitehawks have moved close and are surging. Those three teams will play each other twice over the last fortnight of the regular season and the results will matter big time.
Whichever squad holds first when the ice shavings settle on Feb. 16 will play Spokane, which sits more than 30 points behind the least of the leaders with fewer than half the points of third place Beaver Valley, in the first round of the division playoffs. The other two will face each other.
It can be argued that the intense Nelson - Castlegar series in last year’s first round took just enough out of the Rebels to give Beaver Valley the slight edge they needed to slip past Castlegar in the division finals - their biggest hurdle on the way to the KIJHL championship.
That makes those final two weeks of this regu-lar season seem enormous, as the winner of the Murdoch group will be heavily favoured to take the league title again.
The Murdoch division edge in quality is obvious, only one other team in the league could, on points to date, even get near the top three there. A few have better goals-against totals than the Nitehawks, due to some early season blowouts of Beaver Valley, but no non-Murdoch team can match Beaver Valley’s firepower, or that of the second and third highest scoring KIJHL clubs - Nelson and Castlegar.
So, fans in the three West Kootenay towns involved should plan to be involved. It is nearly time for playoff intensity already, even with three weeks of the regular season to go and most playoff-round groupings about decided.
Three towns, three teams, three credible bandwagons upon which to climb. Get aboard, folks.
• As for the Smoke Eaters. Oh, well.After last weekend it will take a miraculous
run of play for the Smokies to threaten for
the fourth and final post sea-son spot in the Interior Division of the BCHL. Trail needed four points out of Salmon Arm and got one and there is little about the remainder of their schedule that suggests the Smokies can get anywhere near to running the table - which is almost what they need to do.
It wasn’t that Trail played badly, they played as well in most areas of the game as Salmon Arm, but they had to win the points
battle, 4-0, and they finished, 1-4.There are hopeful signs for next year, in
particular some very young, very talented local kids on the roster, and the club has freedom to use the rest of the year auditioning talent - if they can find it given playoff pressures in other leagues.
AND there is the fact that Smoke Eater games have been very entertaining, so it is still worth-while to show up at the local rink, where Trail will play five of the six games on their February schedule and seven of their last nine overall.
Ask around, many season ticket holders will have unused ducats that will become worthless at season’s end and several local businesses have cut-rate deals on tickets. It is good value for little money, if you are a hockey fan, and will get you away from what I hear are already-frustrating tube games.
FROM PAGE 12The Hawks, mean-
while, lead the league in goals with 201, thanks to the offensive explosion from Dallas Calvin who continued his offensive torrent netting four points in each game on the weekend. Calvin at 28-38-66 is second in league scoring, trail-ing Kelowna’s Jordan Salahor by one point.
With the recent return of Ryan Edwards who aver-ages 2.8 points per game, and the mid-season addition of Dan Holland who has 35 points in just 24 games, the Hawks should be poised for another lengthy play-off run.
The team that takes top spot in the Neil Murdoch division will put them in the enviable position of playing Spokane in the first round, while the other two teams could very well end up in a punishing, seven-game series; which should make for a very exciting finish.
FROM PAGE 12Handley then stole two in the seventh and
one in the eighth to win 9 - 6.In a game that was closer than the score
indicated, it came down to the last rock of the eighth end. Jim Stewart’s last shot, without hammer, had to corner freeze on a rock at the side of the four foot.
His shot was almost perfect, about an inch away from touching the opponents rock. Lefty Gould had to remove the rock, without disturb-ing too much else to break the tie.
When the rocks came to rest, the Gould team sat three, to make the final 9 - 6 for Gould.

T h e R o s s l a n d n e w sThe City of Rossland will be
going ahead with an inspection, though not yet an investigation, of the arena project, said Mayor Greg Granstrom.
This stems directly from ques-tions that brought to light the issues with former building inspect-
or Jason Ward, whose own company was able to bill the City $185,000 for arena renovations.
Council resolved to direct staff to hire a qualified inspector to review the work contracted to ADA Co. Inc. for the Rossland Arena in 2010 and 2011.
Council also directed staff to
ensure “that the structural com-ponent of the work performed on the Rossland Curling Arena is inspected.”
The mayor explained the process.“Council resolved to do an
inspection on the arena upgrades, that inspection is now underway,” Granstrom said.
“I will say that part of the inspec-tion involved the electrical, and the fact that there was no permit taken out on the electrical. We have a report that we have not seen yet... that says there are problems with the electrical.”
He said the city is now dealing with those electrical problems.

Dear Annie: I am in the process of con-verting to Judaism. Among other things, this involves eat-ing only kosher food. Initially, it was diffi-cult, but I know that doing this brings me closer to understand-ing more of my new religion.
My problem is that most of my friends, including some Jewish friends, have an issue with my eating habits. They say eating kosher is “outdated,” or they imply that I think I’m better than they are. They actively discour-age my efforts. This confuses me because I don’t scold my friends for eating cheese-burgers or pork, and I never insist on any special treatment.
Conversion is not an easy process, and I’d like the support of my friends, but it’s hard to keep my head up sometimes, especially during meals together. How do I approach this? Do I need new friends? -- Questioning
in CaliforniaDear Questioning:
Maybe. Your friends think conversion will change who you are and the relationship they have with you. They feel marginalized by your new religious interest and are try-ing to undermine your convictions. This is all about them and their needs. If you are truly committed to conver-sion, you should not be so easily derailed. Please talk to your rabbi. If you attend ser-vices at a synagogue, see whether they have a social group for those in your age bracket. You are more likely to make new friends and find support there.
Dear Annie: Some
years ago, my wife and I met a lovely couple while on a trip in Germany. We had such a good time together that we made arrange-ments for the four of us to take other trips. We kept in contact with cards, phone calls and emails. On the occa-sions where we trav-eled to their city, we had lunch with them.
We hadn’t heard from them in a while, so I sent a card that came back stamped “Deceased.” We don’t read the obituaries from their city, so we have no idea whether both of them died or one died and the other moved, or what hap-pened.
This couple had several children who may have known of our friendship, although I never learned the chil-dren’s names. It surely would be nice if their survivors would browse through the couple’s address book and let the contacts know of their passing. -- Miss Them in Minnesota
Dear Minnesota: This is a situation that comes up when-ever someone dies. The survivors do not always think of going through the deceased’s address book -- writ-ten or electronic -- and sending notes to those listed. But it would be a kindness to do so and something the deceased surely would have wanted. You can look online for your friends’ obituaries and any other information that might indicate how to contact one of their children. We hope you find out what happened and have the opportunity to express your condolences.
Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Too Many Leftovers” about people who don’t RSVP to invitations. It encouraged me to share my experience.
Our two daughters were married in the same year. The first wedding brought the same issue of the lack of receiving RSVPs. When it came to the
second wedding, I had our new son-in-law use his calligraphy skills to make a nice sign that read “For those who did not RSVP.” I placed the sign on the gift table next to a jar of peanut butter, a knife and some soda crack-ers.
I don’t know why my wife and the moth-er of the groom didn’t see the humor. I have shared this with several people, and the men always think it’s hilari-ous. -- Father of the Brides

For Saturday, Jan. 26, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You feel pulled between the responsibilities you have for children or a romantic partner and the demands of a group or a friend. The Full Moon always deals out tough choices. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your dilemma today is whether to focus on home and family or career and your external world. It appears that you cannot ignore your public reputation. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today is an accident-prone day because of the Full Moon tension. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Allow extra time so you have wiggle room for whatever you do. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Naturally, you will feel the Full Moon today, because the Moon is your ruler. This particular Full Moon creates stress for money, cash flow
and shared property. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is tak-ing place, which is why you feel tension with partners and close friends. You can handle it. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) The Full Moon tension today is rather hidden in your chart, which means you feel vaguely uneasy or impatient with oth-ers. Actually, patience is your only recourse. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Tension with friends and groups might pull your atten-tion away from children, sports events or romantic partners. Nevertheless, that’s where it’s at for you today. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Continue to focus on home and family needs today. Home repairs and decorating proj-ects need your attention. (Be patient with family members.)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is an accident-prone day, so be aware and mind-ful of everything you do. Accidents generally are caused by distractions. Keep your eyes open. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Money issues likely will arise today because of the Full Moon tension. Be flexible and tolerant, because others feel this tension as well today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign is taking place, which means you have to be patient with partners and close friends. It’s too easy to be at odds with others. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Work-related circumstances require patience because of today’s Full Moon. Factoid. Therefore, you can be part of the problem or part of the
solution, right? YOU BORN TODAY You are confident, active and some-times a source of controversy. You march to the beat of your own drum and are determined to reach your goals. You’re very brave about being exactly who you are. You often are involved in the thick of the action. Your year ahead prom-ises lovely social diversions and an opportunity to improve all your relationships.

For Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day to enjoy sports, play with children or catch a movie. Basically, you don’t feel like working because you want a day off. And why not? TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Home, family and your domestic needs are your primary focus today. Conversations with a par-
ent could be significant. Listen to what a female relative has to say. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You have a strong need to enlighten others or dis-cuss your point of view. Find someone who is will-ing to hear what you have to say. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Take stock of your cash flow, because it will make you feel better. After all,
information is power, espe-cially when it comes to what you own and what you owe. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The Moon is in your sign today, which is why you feel so emotional. This means you have to be more patient when dealing with others, especially because it’s been a Full Moon for you! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
You feel the need to hibernate or cocoon today because you need a breath-er. You’ve been working hard, so it’s time to take a rest. (Then you can work even harder.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Discussions with female friends will be significant today. Someone needs a sympathetic ear; perhaps that someone is you. Share your dreams for the future with others. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The details of your pri-vate life might be made rather public today because the Moon is in the top of your chart. Just be aware of this, because you are a secretive person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because you have a
strong need for adventure today, do something differ-ent. Go someplace you’ve never been before. Talk to people from different back-grounds. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Clean up loose details about shared property, taxes, debt and inheritanc-es. You’ll feel better if you make a dent in these messy areas. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) When the Moon is oppo-site your sign, you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This only happens once a year, so it’s really no biggie. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Set aside time today to get better organized. Straighten messy areas and do what you can to feel
like you are more on top of your scene. YOU BORN TODAY You are bright, clever and often exhibit ingenious talent at a young age, and you main-tain a childlike delight and curiosity in life no mat-ter what your age. In your mid-20s, you become more sympathetic, imaginative and sensitive to everything around you. This sensitiv-ity helps you artistically. In the year ahead, you will learn and study something valuable for your future. Birthdate of: Alan Cumming, actor; Mimi Rogers, actress; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, compos-er.

S u b m i t t e dTRAIL – J.L. Crowe
Secondary School hosted the fifth annua New Year’s Debate Tourney on Jan. 12 with the participants of each of the categor-ies listed below.
Teams arrived from Kamloops, Rossland, Castlegar, Nelson and Trail to debate in this year’s tournament that consisted of two rounds of prepared debate in the mor-ning and two rounds of impromptu style in the afternoon.
The seniors and juniors debated the Canadian National Debate Format (CNDF) and the nov-ice division used the cross -examinat ion style throughout.
The topics were: “Be it resolved that public transportation should be free.” for the prepared rounds and “Be it resolved that people should have the right to make danger-ous decisions.” for the impromptu rounds. In the impromptu style students are given the
topic one half hour before presenting both the affirmative and negative cases.
JL Crowe results for each of the cat-egories are as fol-lows. In the junior competition, Kyla Mears and Matthew M c C o n n a c h i e placed fourth as a team. Individually, McConnachie was sixth and Mears was seventh.
In the senior cat-egory, Emily Dawson and Jesse Bartsoff were second and only missed first place by point nine of a place-ment. Individually, Bartsoff was second and Dawson was third.
Congratulat ions were extended to all participants and a very big thank you was given to the helpers, chairpersons/timers and the members of the community who contributed to the day’s events.
The students now look forward to the last local regional tournament to be held in Nelson on Feb. 2.
J.L. Crowe along with St. Michael’s will be hosting the esteemed Law Foundation Cup 2013 on March 1 and 2, which is emblematic of the best of high school debating in the province.
Debaters look for-ward to participation from the community and the school as the Trail area and the West Kootenay regional team welcomes debat-ers from around the province.

b y t i m e S S t a f fNew surveillance cameras will be
installed in city hall.The cameras will be installed in
the interior of City Hall and will monitor the public reception areas.
Signs are already in place to advertise the change and that the cameras will be in use, said corpor-ate administrator Michelle McIsaac.
“It is protective and looking for-
ward, of course, to prevent unwant-ed behaviours,” she said. “It was suggested to us by the RCMP.”
Video surveillance in City Hall was viewed as an effective tool to improve the effectiveness of follow up if a situation in the building ever warranted it. The city has a network of surveillance cameras throughout the city and within many of its facilities.

New cameras at city hall
For Monday, Jan. 28, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Maintain harmony while dealing with children this morning. Words spoken in anger can set you off in the wrong direction for the whole day. Lighten up. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Discussions with female relatives could go south in a New York minute. Why even go there? You will only upset yourself and others. Focus on your own objectives. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Short tempers might create errors and travel delays today. You can minimize this fallout by cutting others some slack. Just go with the flow and be cooperative. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t get your belly in a rash about financial matters or how you share something this morning. Just let it go. By tomorrow, doors will open for you.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Conversations with part-ners and close friends will be tested this morning. But if you practice tolerance and patience, things will be easy. (Why wouldn’t you make life easier for yourself?) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You’re keen to get bet-ter organized. While it’s true that something behind the scenes could create obstacles, by tomorrow, these obstacles will be gone. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Don’t get in a hissy fit with a female acquaintance, especially in a group situa-tion or a class. You will lose face and maybe the argument. Play your cards close to your chest. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) An argument in a public place will not be great PR for you. Bite your tongue, and let things unfold as they are doing. By tomorrow, you will be successful doing damage control.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Arguments about politics, religion or travel plans might arise this morning. Don’t be inflexible. Wait and listen to consider all points of view. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Disputes about shared prop-erty, taxes, insurance matters or anything you own jointly with others might arise this morning. Don’t be a stickler for details. Loosen up. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) The Moon is opposite your sign today, dancing the fiery Mars. This creates dissonance and disputes with others. But hey, it takes two to make fight, right? PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) An irritation with co-work-ers would lead to squabbles and major differences of opin-ions especially this morning. This is not an ideal way to start your week, is it? Patience! YOU BORN TODAY You are stirred by the ambition to perform great deeds, which is why many of you are bold
adventurers and explorers. You have guts and physical stamina. You show no fear of being “different.” At times, you even assume heroic status to others. You’re very strong-willed. Your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big! Birthdate of: Sarah McLachlan, singer; Alan Alda, actor; Kathryn Morris, actress.
For Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This can be a productive day at work, especially if you’re introducing improvements and clearing away loose ends regarding financial matters. Stay focused. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Discussions about the care and education of children will go well today. This is also a good day to make arrange-ments for sharing costs of vacations or social events. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Don’t hesitate to act on plans to make repairs or improvements to where you live. Whatever you do will have a long-lasting benefit in the future. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a great day for any kind of mental work, because your powers of concentra-tion are excellent. You have
the patience for painstaking detail. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Business and commerce are favored today. You want to solidify your finances, if possi-ble. If shopping, you will buy practical, long-lasting items. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) It’s easy to become obsessed today. You can’t get some-thing out of your mind. Fortunately, your approach will be practical when it comes to making improve-ments. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is an excellent day for research. You have the tenac-ity and focus to go after what you seek. You’re like a dog with a bone. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) All group discussions will be intense. You don’t intend to back down, even if some-one (probably a female) raises some opposition to you. Be careful that you don’t increase this opposition by insisting on getting your own way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) People will notice that you are passionate about everything today. You might have ideas about building something or searching for answers to improve an exist-ing structure.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a good day to make travel plans or future plans related to higher education, publishing and the media. You’re very excited about an idea, but you’re approaching it calmly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Although you feel intensely about things today, you still will be fair and logical when discussing inheritances or shared property. (Just don’t let your feelings get the better of you.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a good day to sit down with others (especially a partner) and discuss long-range future plans. Travel, higher education or ways to get the cooperation of others could be on the agenda. YOU BORN TODAY You are reasonable and fun-loving. People like you and trust you. Personally, you will defend your beliefs and take the high road because you are an ideal-ist. You’re tolerant of many points of view, but you enjoy being provocative. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for some-thing new. Birthdate of: Oprah Winfrey, humanitarian/media mogul; Adam Lambert, sing-er; Tom Selleck, actor.
