A group of aspiring actors are quietly work-ing behind the scenes to bring Greater Trail “The Greatest Show on Earth.”
Under direction of theatre expert Helen James, 13 Career Development Services (CDS) and Trail Association for Community Living clients have been meeting for the last five weeks to work on voice and movement. This week, the group starts to write and practice their script for the first theatre production put on by the organizations that support individu-als with significant barriers.
“You can see arguments between people who think they're the greatest thing on earth,” hinted James. “The group together is working on a show piece and in the end you'll realize that we ourselves are the greatest show on earth.”
James is a trained drama therapist and occupational therapist. She has worked with many local theatre groups over the years, including the Rossland Light Opera Players and the Columbia Phoenix Players, which she is currently the president of.
But this is the first time she's coached a group of developmentally-delayed adults.
“This group of people is absolutely remark-able and what is remarkable about them as a company is that they are so kind to each other, they are encouraging of each other, they are

School District 20 is looking for community feedback on cost saving measures that could include the elimination of all exterior window washing and free bussing.
The annual grocery list of cuts, add ons or shifts in money place-ment has been developed based on a predicted deficit of nearly $730,000 in the 2014/2015 budget. This is largely a result of the Ministry of Education phasing out funding protection and an increase in staff-ing costs as a result of the CUPE contract settlement, according to superintendent of schools Greg Luterbach.
“We had hoped to have stopped the decline in enrolment, therefore we wouldn't need the funding pro-tection,” said Luterbach. “But when we got to the end of last September, we sat at about 100 students less than we projected.”
Developing the 2014/2015 bud-get starts by maintaining all ele-ments of last year's budget (status quo), followed by the creation of a “long list” of options toward achiev-
ing a balanced budget. After public feedback, a short list is created and lastly a recommendation to the board, which has the final say.
This year's long list, when every possibility “is thrown up on the board,” was sent out directly to parents recently in an effort to be transparent, said Luterbach. Regularly, he would inform the District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC), which would then circulate the information to individual par-ent advisory committees.
“We recognize that the list is far reaching,” Luterbach said in an email that accompanied the budget adjustment list. “We also are very sensitive to the fact that many of the items on the list may impact our employees' livelihoods.”
The long list includes the reduc-tion of up to five teachers to match the 3,786 students anticipated next school year, down from a previous enrolment of 3,915 students.
There are many options around reducing/eliminating teacher librarians and or library assistants, which is an option that tends to pop up annually.
Among the contentious items is the possibility of reducing one tradesperson and or eliminating all exterior windows washing and front

The former Rossland Secondary School (RSS) will keep its initials, after School District 20's board of education decided to rename it Rossland Summit School during Monday night's regular board meet-ing.
More than half of the trustees endorsed the new name, but not before there was some debate over calling it Rossland Public School first.
Trustees Lorraine Manning and Toni Druitti argued that the lat-ter name was unique to the com-munity and those looking to relo-cate wouldn't get confused with the new independent school, Seven
Summits Centre for Learning.“To me, I think it might be a
disadvantage to us because they might see the other summit school, rather than the public school,” said Manning. “You may lose students if people are searching on the web-site.”
Trustee Jen Carter recommended Rossland Summit School because she said it was the easiest choice.
“Some of the fiscal, the financial things that are involved in the name change may not be necessary if we go with the RSS initials and I think that it's important that we choose something that's going to make the transition as easy as possible,” she said.

This is a sys-tem I came up with. H o w e v e r ,
one should not take a system away from this column because I actually recommend using two diamonds as either weak or Mexican.
Nevertheless, one should take away an idea. If one opens a weak two and part-ner has a strong hand, the contract can be wrong-sided. This means the strong hand becomes the dummy and the defense becomes easier for the opponents. Transfer weak two’s insures that the strong hand plays the contract.
This column shows how
to bid against a transfer weak two. One can also use the same defense when LHO opens one notrump and RHO trans-fers. Bidding the transfer suit is a takeout bid.
So if one does not play transfer weak two’s, how can one improve one’s bridge success? Although weak two’s disrupt the oppon-ents, one still must be careful in not disrupting partner.
A weak two in first or second seat may pre-empt partner and a weak two in third seat will only pre-empt the opponents. In first or second seat, a weak two
should be a descriptive and lead-directive bid yet weak enough to not make a game if partner has a minimum opening.
The System: Playing transfer weak two’s, one opens two diamonds with a weak two in hearts, two hearts with a weak two in spades and two spades with a weak two in either minor.
The bidding: East opens two diamonds showing a weak two in hearts and North makes a strong takeout bid. Had East opened two hearts, North would have doubled. East jumps to five hearts to jam the bidding and to make a good sacrifice right away. North and South settle for five spades and until the opening diamond lead gets
ruffed they wished they had been in six.
The Lead: 8 of diamonds. There cannot be a lot of future in a heart lead so West leads his longest side suit.
The play: East ruffs the opening lead and exits a heart. West wins the ace and plays another diamond. East ruffs and exits a heart. He makes six if the ace of hearts is led and a diamond switch is not found.
Result: 5S by South down 1 for -100.
Do You Have The Basics?
Q9: Partner leads the Ace of clubs at notrump and you have K9, which card do you play?
See column 179 at watson-gallery.ca for the answer.

Smart meters are coming.FortisBC confirmed that the
project to install new technology will begin in the fall of this year.
“We plan to advise customers well in advance of work commen-cing in the area,” said FortisBC spokesman Neal Pobran.
There will be approximately 130,000 meters installed through-out FortisBC’s service territory.
In July of 2013, FortisBC received approval from the BCUC to install advanced (smart) meters
in all its customer’s houses.Pobran said FortisBC will be
employing a subcontractor to do the actual meter exchanges.
“This was something we pro-posed in the original application to the B.C. Utilities Commission as a way to keep project costs low for our customers,” Proban explained.
The entire advanced meter pro-ject in the area is expected to be completed by the end of 2015.
Pobran said there was still an opt-out clause in effect for resi-dents.
Debating team competes in Victoria
Submitted photo
The student debaters from West Kootenay schools, including Trail and Rossland, met with Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall (centre) at the Legislature in Victoria.
S u B m i T T e dDebate students
from J.L. Crowe (JLC) Secondary joined students from Rossland, Castlegar’s Stanley Humphries Secondary and Nelson’s Trafalgar and L.V. Rogers schools to attend the Law Foundation Cup provincials held Feb. 28 to March 1, in Victoria.
The JLC mem-bers included: Emily Dawson, Jesse Bartsoff, Maggie Chan, Matthew McConnachie , Kyla Mears, Eliza Dawson and Keegan Fry as part of the 16-mem-ber West Kootenay Regional Team, which competed at Victoria’s Pacific Christian Academy.
The topic under discussion for the prepared cross-examination was “Be it resolved that citizens in jail have their right to vote revoked.”
In addition, stu-dents completed three rounds of impromptu debates whereby one side selected a topic
from three possible choices and the other team selected the side.
Congratulations are extended to Bartsoff and Emily Dawson who placed in the top 10, in the eighth position, out of 34 teams, in the Senior category.
Madeline Grace-Wood of Rossland is the top Grade 9 stu-dent in the Kootenay Region and has been selected to attend the Junior National
Debate Seminar to be held in Toronto in early May.
Traveling to Victoria also includ-ed other activities as students toured the Legislature, attended Question Period, and were introduced to the House and recorded in Hansard.
Ne lson-Cres ton MLA Michelle Mungall spoke to the students about civic duties and respon-sibilities and the need to have a voice.
Students visited the Royal Museum of BC, viewed the “Great White Shark” at the IMAX theatre, toured the University of Victoria and were shown the Inner Harbour and the Legislature as the lights cascaded over the evening hours.
Debate creates opportunities and these students were shown how they could take advantage of the many possibil-ities.

“When you’re $729,000 short, you’re looking at all options so this isn’t a preferred list, this is a brain-stormed list coming from staff that looks at all possibilities,” said Luterbach. “There is no doubt about it that this one (a drop in cleaning standards) has caught the eye of a number of people.”
Other cost-saving possibilities include eliminating school iPads/laptops/secondary lab replacements and eliminating all bussing (the greatest savings of about $375,000) and providing $35 a month per child outside the walking limits.
“It’s a big savings to the board and is quite a drastic change so when you talk about trying to find $700,000 after we had to close two schools last year, it’s basically just looking at things differently,” added
Luterbach. “Whether the board will do it,
again will be up to the nine mem-bers who raise their hands.”
The public is invited to view the draft budget and fill out a survey on SD20’s website (www.sd20.bc.ca) or speak directly to a trustee. A pre-sentation of the proposed balanced budget will be held April 16 at 6:30 p.m. at the Kootenay-Columbia Learning Centre (KCLC), the Trail campus formally known as the Trail Middle School. No decisions will be made at this time.
The public will again be invited to take part in discussions April 28 at 7 p.m., when a second reading of the budget is scheduled as part of the board’s regular meeting at KCLC.
The third and final reading of the budget, which doesn’t include debate, is set for May 2 at 5 p.m. at the same location.
FROM PAGE 1never critical of each other, and they are always seeing the best in each other,” she said. “Every session they turn up ready to work and they put their every effort into it.
“They are the most amazing group of people to work with.”
The drama program developed out of a client request and quickly morphed into a team effort.
The group is using CDS’s church for rehearsal and will be building not only sets but a stage for the facility just down the street from CDS’ office on Bay Avenue.
Clients like 21-year-old Keenan McLean are not only tasked with finding their inner actor but are involved in all other aspects of putting on a produc-tion from creating promotional material like posters and T-shirts to rolling up their sleeves to apply a coat of paint to the set and stage, which will be built at CDS’ West Kootenay Youth and Adult
Woodshop.“I’ve learned that there are a lot of
interesting people,” laughed McLean, after the group wrapped up a Friday ses-sion that included creating a character’s identity based on a hat and playing hot potato.
“It’s highly entertaining, we do a whole bunch of different stuff.”
Beyond learning the fundamentals of acting and putting on a production, the group is exercising its voices and move-ment through team-building training.
Some of the performers are non-verbal and will have speakers on stage to help them with their parts.
“We have been doing a lot of work with speech and expressing ourselves and those things are always good for being assertive in social situations when they need to be assertive so they can express themselves in an appropriate manner and if need be, a forceful man-ner,” said James. “We’ve been doing some work around ‘Say that, but say it
like you mean it!’”CDS coordinator Sheila Adcock agrees
that the program encourages individu-als to express their ideas and feelings, which can be a struggle for some clients. Honing these skills in a peer-supportive environment speaks to the organiza-tion’s prime focus of inclusion.
“We suggested a theatre group might allow them a space to build their skills and networks but also to be able to show the community their abilities,” said Adcock.
“So much of their world can be con-sumed with their disability-related needs and not so much to embrace their many unique skills so we wanted to give them a chance to showcase these skills.”
The community is invited to share in the excitement of the 20-minute show scheduled for April 11 at 7 p.m. Tickets, available at the CDS office located at 1565 Bay Ave., go for $5 each and include snacks at the end of the production.

Trustee Gordon Smith appeared to win the rest of the votes over, providing his commu-nity’s perspective.
The Rossland resident said after much dis-cussion with his neighbours and at the dinner table, he supported a name that captured the mountain town’s culture.
“Rossland Public School, in my opinion, was submitted quite a bit because it’s the obvious choice,” he said.
“But I think the community was trying to generate something that would do a little bit more than just an obvious name . . . we’re trying to capture the imagination of the residents and build some positive spirit back into that school after the reconfiguration changes.”
The board got to make the final call on the three remaining options, which included Rossland Summit Public School, Rossland Summit School and Rossland Public School.

Do YOU need someone to do your tax return THIS YEAR?
You & The LawTYLEEN UNDERWOOD LAW OFFICE presents
IMMEDIATE ROADSIDE PROHIBITIONS – WHAT’S THE DEAL?It’s hyped as the toughest “don’t drink and drive” law in Canada. And there’s no doubt B.C.’s “immediate roadside prohibition” (IRP) program is scary, in more ways than one.
Since 2010, this provincial law has allowed police to issue on-the-spot driving suspensions at the roadside – and impound your vehicle – if a roadside test suggests you drove with a blood alcohol concentration of .05 or more. This is a lot lower than the .08 legal limit in the Criminal Code. And the driving prohibition starts immediately.
Suspensions can be for 3, 7 or 30 days if the device reads WARN (suggesting a level between .05 and .08), depending on whether it’s your � rst suspension or not. But it’s 90 days if the device reads FAIL, suggesting the level is above the legal limit in the Criminal Code (i.e., .08 or more).
As well, you face impound charges, money penalties and other costs – and you may also have to take a responsible driver course ($800-plus) and get an interlock device put in your car ($1,730-plus) for a 30 or 90 day suspension. Driving prohibitions stay on your motor vehicle record, and you’ll face higher car insurance premiums too.
If you need to drive a vehicle for work, obviously a suspension could also play havoc with your employment.
But as a series of court cases show, the IRP program’s draw-backs overshadow its good intentions. In the zeal to keep drunk drivers off the roads, too much fairness has been sacri� ced.
The problem isn’t with the law’s goal to minimize the mayhem caused by drunk driving – it’s that an unfair process, offering insuf� cient protection, can ensnare too many innocent people.
Here are some examples.
In late 2011, our courts decided that parts of the law were unconstitutional. The province changed the law – so since mid-June, 2012, police of� cers have had to swear to their IRP
reports, which go to the Of� ce of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles (OSMV). A false report risks perjury charges.
But the OSMV, responsible for IRP reviews (appeals) if demanded, continued to accept unsworn police reports.
When challenged in court, the OSMV argued this was allowed under some other parts of the law. Not true, said our appeals court. A further appeal was refused by the Supreme Court of Canada.
Our courts have also thrown out IRP’s because the of� cer based them on the device alone – without other reasons to think the driver’s driving ability was affected by alcohol, though the law requires this (the OSMV will likely appeal a recent case).
Remember, you initially have only 7 days to apply for a review of an IRP. The review process is quite limited and there’s little fair process protection in the face of an up-front “conviction.” In a recent case, the BC Supreme Court also noted that in many IRP reviews, the OSMV seems to try to rationalize desired results.
Still, there are now many ways to win in a review of an IRP. If you are or have ever been caught up in an IRP (or OSMV review) situation, don’t just roll over – see your lawyer.

B y T o m F l e T c h e rBlack Press
VICTORIA – Hundreds of people gathered on the lawn of the B.C. legislature Tuesday to call for the provincial govern-ment to cancel its cuts to lower-usage ferry runs set to take effect in April.
Among the speak-ers at the rally were Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin and Sheila Malcolmson, chair of the Islands Trust, the local government for the Gulf Islands.
Malcolmson told a cheering crowd that the taxpayer subsidy to BC Ferries has been overemphasized.
She said since the provincial Liberal gov-ernment took office in 2001, ferry users have paid $5 billion in fares, while taxpayers have subsidized the operation by $1 bil-lion.
Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Minister Todd Stone said he welcomes pro-testers exercising their freedom of speech, but the intention to cut
$18.9 million from low-usage routes was made clear before the 2013 election.
The provincial subsidy to coastal fer-ries has increased by almost $90 million over three years, and cost reductions are needed to keep fares from rising further, he said.
“There are too many sailings on the BC Ferries system with utilization rates in the low teens and single digits, and I think British Columbians support us in believ-ing that is not sus-tainable,” Stone said. “There are more staff than cars and passen-gers on many of these sailings.”
Opposition critics resumed their focus on the impact of ferry cuts in the legislature Tuesday.
NDP leader Adrian Dix called on the gov-ernment to do an eco-nomic impact study on tourism and other business in coastal communities.
Dix quoted Premier
Christy Clark from her radio talk show in 2008, where she argued that fare hikes were reaching the point where they would produce net revenue loss.
North Island MLA Claire Trevena, the NDP critic on ferries, reminded Stone that replacing the Queen of Chilliwack with the much smaller, open-decked MV Nimpkish on the summer run from Bella Bella to Bella Coola has been greeted with dismay by tourism operators.
Stone said the exist-ing service to Bella Coola carries about 500 vehicles during a 13-week season, with a public subsidy that works out to $2,500 per vehicle carried.
Trevena suggested that given the lack of facilities on the Nimpkish for a sail-ing of more than nine hours, an ad campaign for the Discovery Coast ferry route might include the slo-gan, “coming soon, drinkable water.”

***CAVASIN, AMILCARE (MIKE) – of
Trail passed away on March 8, 2014 at the Kootenay Bound-ary Regional Hospital with his family by his side. Mike was born on March 2, 1927 in Ca-vasagra, Treviso, Italy.

OPINION
‘Middle class squeeze’ falls on younger generationThe “middle-
class squeeze.” Opposition polit-ical parties bandy
about this phrase to score points against incumbent governments, while gov-erning parties go out of their way to suggest their critics exaggerate.
The truth is, no pol-itical party is giving us the straight goods about what is happening to the middle-class. This fact was re-affirmed recently when Statistics Canada released new wealth data.
These data show the squeeze is primarily on younger generations, not all in the middle class. Consider, for example, the very middle class house-hold age 65 and over. Its net worth is up $190,000 compared to 1999, carry-ing on a trend of impres-sive wealth accumulation for seniors that goes back to the mid-1970s. The typical retiree gained all these extra assets while taking on very little addi-tional debt – just $9,500, or 5 per cent of their extra wealth.
Similarly, wealth for the typical 55 to 64 year-
old household jumped by $179,000, eight times faster than their total debt grew.
The story for younger Canadians is strikingly different. Net worth rose $2,000 for the typical household under age 35 compared to the same age group in 1999. This minor increase leaves them well behind the wealth reported by the same aged household in 1977.
The news for the typical household aged 35 to 44 may sound better, because their net worth increased by $58,000 since 1999. But they gain this wealth only by taking on an extra $80,000 in debt.
Housing is a lynch pin in the generational div-ide. After adjusting for inflation, average hous-ing values have nearly doubled. For those who bought homes decades ago, higher prices mean more wealth.
But what’s been good for a generations of sen-iors and those heading into retirement has been bad for their kids and grandchildren. Statistics Canada data show that the
typical 25 to 34 year old working full-time must pay far higher housing prices with wages that are 11 per cent (or about $3 per hour) lower than the same aged person in 1976. This is pushing the dream of home ownership out of reach for many younger Canadians, or saddling them with very heavy debts compared to a gen-eration ago, even though today’s down payment often purchases a smaller yard, a Condo, or requires a longer commute.
Young people’s wages are losing ground, despite the fact they are twice as likely to have post-second-ary education compared to a generation ago. To cope, we have seen many
young people adapt by devoting more time to the labour market, which is a major reason why there has been a dramatic shift toward dual earner house-holds. But after adjusting for inflation, two young people still bring home little more than what one breadwinner often did in the mid-1970s. The result? Generations under age 45 are squeezed. Squeezed for time at home. Squeezed for money, because they pay higher tuition and housing prices with lower wages. And when they choose to have kids, they are squeezed for child care services, which remain in short supply, and often cost more than a postsec-ondary education.
Political parties are content to ignore Generation Squeeze in favour of misleading facts about the middle-class because the age analysis calls into ques-tion government budgets. Canadians are used to spending around $45,000 annually per retiree on things we care about for our older family members, like medical care and old
age security. All the while, we show little interest in adapting the $12,000 we spend annually per person under age 45 to support young families, school, post-secondary, employ-ment insurance, etc.
Alberta is the most recent government to showcase this pattern with its 2014 budget. Spending patterns determined by previous budgets show it intends to add more than $800 million in annual spending for the 11 per cent of the population aged 65-plus, compared to around $500 million for the 63 per cent of the population under age 45.
No doubt, there are many squeezed in Canada by the market and gov-ernment budgets. But it’s not the middle-class in general. Political parties distract from the need to adapt for younger genera-tions so long as they sug-gest otherwise.

Luca Hair Studio is excited to welcomeLisa Frisk
to the team.Lisa is a fully certi� ed esthetician
and Make Up artist.She welcomes new and existing clients to call the salon for an appointment today.The referendum on
Scotland’s independ-ence is only six months away, and suddenly the
cautious sparring between the Conservative-led coalition gov-ernment in London and First Minister Alex Salmond’s pro-independence government in Edinburgh has turned into open war. London won the first battles, and the “No” side will probably win the referendum in September – but it is going to be a long war.
The opening shot was fired by Chancellor George Osborne in London, who declared that an independent Scotland could not negotiate a currency union with the rest of the United Kingdom. With only one-tenth of Britain’s popula-tion, Scotland is just too small to demand an equal say in how the pound is run. Besides, why would London want to keep the responsibility for Scotland’s huge and rather dodgy banking sector?
Alex Salmond responded by threatening to repudiate Scotland’s share of the nation-al debt if London wouldn’t agree to a currency union, but the conclusion was obvious. Scotland could go on using the British pound if it wanted (like Panama and East Timor use the US dollar), but it could have no formal link.
Next was the president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, who warned that it would be “dif-ficult, if not impossible” for an independent Scotland to join the European Union. Other EU members that don’t want their own autonomous regions to secede would almost certainly block Scotland’s membership – Barroso was talking mainly about Spain and the separatists in Catalonia – and one veto is enough.
Independence was look-ing more complex and expen-sive by the minute – and then Standard Life spoke up. The Edinburgh-based company is the largest pension provider
in the United Kingdom, man-aging around $350 billion in assets and employing 5,000 people in Scotland.
Ninety percent of Standard Life’s four million UK custom-ers do not live in Scotland, however, and it warned that it might have to leave if the Scots voted for independence. A poll subsequently revealed that 36 percent of Scottish firms would consider leaving following a
“yes” vote.It was a cold
shower for the Scottish National Party (SNP), and the number of people planning to vote “yes” in the referendum dropped to 32 percent, while the “noes” remained unchanged at 57 percent. Lots of
Scots would like independence if it doesn’t cost them any-thing, but they don’t want it badly enough to risk any major changes. Unless something changes quite dramatically, the final vote will be 60-40 or more against independence.
So what are the Scottish Nationalists really hoping to achieve? Originally Salmond planned to build support for independence through a long period of successful govern-ment within the UK, but the SNP’s landslide victory in 2011, in the depth of the recession, stoked unrealistic hopes among his militants and forced his hand. Nevertheless, he prob-ably knew he was going to lose this one.
That’s how it worked in Quebec in the 1980 referen-dum, which the separatists lost 60-40. The idea of leav-ing Canada and striking out on their own frightened the French-speaking majority in Quebec too much at the time. But it did put the question on the table, and it never really went away again.
Salmond will know the his-tory of Quebec separatism well, for it is the best analogy to his own situation. He will be aware that the second referendum, in 1995, came within a hair’s breadth of succeeding. And he will have noticed that the sep-
aratist Parti Quebecois is still around, is likely to win the provincial election due on April 7 – and will almost certainly call a third referendum in the next few years.
It’s what English-speaking Quebecers call the “neveren-dum”, but it actually does end eventually. You only have to win the referendum once. After 34 years of this, the “Rest of Canada” really doesn’t care any more, so there will be no pleas to Quebec to stay this time, no special offers to sweeten the Confederation.
The “Rest of the United Kingdom” is already there: the English, in particular, seem distinctly unmoved by the pros-pect of Scottish independence. This may be because Scotland has much less of the UK’s population than Quebec has of Canada’s (one-tenth vs. one-fifth), and because Scotland is at the far end of Britain where-as Quebec is in the middle of Canada. So maybe it will only take two referendums in Scotland.
They should pray that this is so, because the four-decade, three-referendum scenario is pretty grim. In Quebec, it caused the most spectacular case of “planning blight” in recent history. The perpetual uncertainty about Quebec’s political and economic future drove the corporate head-quarters out (they moved to Toronto), and the immigrants and the investment went else-where. The population num-bers in Canada’s two biggest provinces tell the story.
In 1980, the year of the first referendum, there were 6.5 million people in Quebec and 8.5 million in Ontario, and the ratio had been steady for most of the century. There are now 8.2 million people in Quebec – and 13.4 million in Ontario. Montreal had always been Canada’s biggest city, but Toronto is now more than 50 percent bigger.
Salmond must know that this is where he is tak-ing Scotland. He presumably thinks it is worth it.

Well, lookie here.
One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion.
That’s defi nitely not democracy in action.
The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offl oad the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.
Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected offi cials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.
That’s gotta tell you something.
Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.

Following a 1-0 loss on Saturday, the Beaver Valley Nitehawks found their scor-ing touch in Game 3 of the KIJHL Neil Murdoch div-ision final as they skated to a 7-0 shutout victory over the Nelson Leafs on Monday at the Hawks Nest.
After a tight-checking, scoreless first period, Ryan Edwards would net the win-ner at 17:37 of the second period to give the Hawks a 2-1 series advantage.
Leafs goaltender Patrick Zubick made a pad save off a point-blank shot from Braden Fuller, but lost sight of the rebound, and Edwards would backhand it into the open net to give the Hawks a 1-0 lead.
“It feels great, the third game is always big in a series, so it was nice to come out and get the win,” said Edwards who recently received the Most Sportsmanlike Player award in the KIJHL.
For the first 20 minutes it looked as though the game would be a carbon copy of Game 2 with suffocating checking and few scoring chances, but once Davidson solved Zubick early in the second, the goals came in bunches.
“Tonight we just got our feet going, we got the pucks deep, we got hits, we forced turnovers, we got traffic and lots of shots so I think that was the big difference,” said Edwards.
Dallas Calvin put the Hawks up 2-0, banging in a quick back-door pass from behind the net from Fuller that had Zubick going the other way. Twenty-five seconds later, the Hawk’s rookie, Fuller, would then make it 3-0 when he chipped the puck into the open net after a nice feed from Calvin.
Edwards would score his second of the night on the power play when he took a pass from Jacob Boyczuk in the high slot, glided in, then sniped it glove side on Zubick with three minutes to play in the second period.
The flurry of goals was a relief for a Hawks team that hadn’t netted a single marker in over 80 minutes of hockey.
“A lot of times the nerves get the best of you and you want to do more than you should,” said Nitehawk assist-ant coach Kevin Limbert. “You hang on the puck a little bit too long, you’re trying harder, but it almost counteracts your success. So we started moving the puck quicker up ice, we started making a lot more tape-to-
tape passes, busting through seams and when you play with that kind of pace it’s tough to cover.”
Hawks goalie Brett Clark stopped 24 shots on the night for the shut out, and was good early mak-ing 20 saves through the first two periods.
But the N i t e h a w k s would demoral-ize the Leafs in the third, scoring their fifth goal on the power play just 34 seconds into the period when Archie M c K i n n o n banged in a quick Edwards’ pass from behind the net.
K e a n a n Patershuk would net his second of the playoffs at 10:48 welcoming AP goalie Jason Mailhiot to the crease, and Calvin would add the safe-ty off a Patershuk set up to round out the scoring.
Edwards had a five-point night with two goals and three assists, while Calvin scored twice and added two helpers to send him to the top of playoff scoring leaders with 15 points. Fuller had tal-lied three points before being ejected in the second period for fighting.
The Hawks top players like
Edwards, Calvin, McKinnon, and Fuller were prime Leaf targets throughout the physical match.
Fuller was drawn into a fight by Leafs defenceman Rayce Miller at 3:25 of the
middle frame, while Calvin was the victim of a Jamie Vlanich hit-to-the-head late in the second and looked shak-en coming off the ice.
M i d w a y through the third period, McKinnon took a vicious spear from Robson Cramer who received a match penalty and a one-game sus-pension, and Edwards was
hacked mercilessly through-out the night, but to the play-ers’ credit, the Hawks kept their composure.
“You’re winning so you got to be happy, and can’t let anything bother you,” said Edwards. “If you take a pen-alty you put your team down, and that can turn the game, so you just got to stay out of it.”
Edwards has been one of the most disciplined Nitehawks throughout his career, and this season accumulated just 18 minutes in penalties over 50 games,
while leading the Hawks in scoring with 31 goals, 53 assists, and 84 points.
The Nitehawks outshot the Leafs for the third con-secutive game 44 to 24, and went 3-for-7 on the power play while the Leafs were 0-for-5.
However, Limbert knows the Hawks will need a similar effort in the coming matches, if the they are to prevail.
“I expect a big response from them (the Leafs),” said Limbert. “I can’t imagine they’re too happy with the result tonight, and they are going to come out with some renewed fire.
“Obviously, they don’t want to see themselves go down three-games-to-one, so we’re going to expect a des-perate effort and their best game, and we got to be ready to come back with our own.”
Game 4 was played on Tuesday night but scores were unavailable.
The series will switch to Nelson on Thursday with the puck drop at 7 p.m. at the Nelson Community Complex, and return to the B.V. Arena on Friday for a 7:30 p.m. tilt for Game 6.
KIJHL notes: In other action Kimberley took a 2-1 series edge over Creston with a 4-1 victory, while the North Okanagan Knights won their first game of the series over the Osoyoos Coyotes 4-3. The Coyotes hold a 2-1 series advantage.

Nitehawks blow out Leafs in Game 3
SuBmittedOn Monday the J.L
Crowe and Stanley Humphries (SHSS) secondary school golf teams travelled to Clarkston, Wash. to tee up their seasons.
The 18-team Invitational tourna-ment featured some of the best teams in the inland Northwest. A total of 90 play-ers hit the fairway in extremely windy conditions that made golfing even more dif-ficult.
Despite the tough conditions, Braden McKay from J.L. Crowe finished third overall, two shots back of tournament
medalist Eric Ansett from Ferris High School in Spokane.
The J.L Crowe team had a decent day fin-ishing in 11th place. Trevor Browell, Aiden Browell and Nathan McKay rounded out the Crowe team. Post Falls Secondary from Idaho won the event.
SHSS, with a fairly inexperienced team, managed a 16th place and were led by Grade 8 golfer Ely Overennay. He finished tied for 32nd place.Rounding out the SHSS players were Malcolm Burk, Turner Simpson, Like Matthews and Joel Croteau.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SSOCHI, Russia -
Greg Westlake scored the game’s only goal while Corbin Watson made seven saves for his second straight shutout Tuesday as Canada defeated the Czech Republic 1-0 in sledge hockey at the Sochi Paralympics.
Westlake broke the scoreless tie at 7:33 of the second period, ripping a shot upstairs from in tight for his second goal of the tournament.
Canada had a num-ber of chances to extend the lead but was forced to hang on late as the Czechs
made one final push in the dying seconds.
“They’re a big team. They’re physical,” said Westlake. “They’ve got a lot of men on their team.
“It’s a lot of cycling against the Czechs. They have a big goalie so you have to pick your spots. If you’re not shooting the puck well it’s going to be a low-scoring game.”
Canada has sur-rendered just one goal on 18 shots through three round-robin vic-tories while outscor-ing its opponents 15-1.
Czech goalie Michal Vapenka stopped 17 shots in defeat as his team was eliminated from the competition.
“We had some scor-ing chances, there was just no finish,” said Canadian head coach Mike Mondin. “The kid in net is a good goalie.
“He’s a big guy so they’re trying to go high and we shot a lot of them over the net.”
Canada clinched first place in its pool and will take on the United States in one of Thursday’s semifinals.
The Americans, who won gold four years ago in Vancouver, dropped a hard-fought 2-1 decision to the host Russians ear-lier Tuesday to finish second in their group.
Russia will meet Norway in the other semifinal.
Elsewhere on Tuesday, biathlete Mark Arendz battled pouring rain and dense fog to win a bronze medal in the men’s 12.5-kilometre standing category.

Leisure
Dear Annie: My hus-band and I have been married for more than 50 years and once had a very enjoyable and compatible sex life, even though my hus-band didn’t want any children and refused to discuss it.
After 27 years of wed-ded bliss, my husband had major surgery. He developed erectile dys-function and became afraid of dying. Our sex life ended. But he was depressed and began drinking heavily, espe-cially when he retired early for health rea-sons.
Recently, while going through some paperwork, I came across a handwritten note with a great deal of sexual innuendo, and it was not directed at me. This totally shocked me. The note was written about 10 years ago. I asked him to explain the note, and of course, he denied he wrote it and became very agitated, claim-ing he always has been
faithful in our mar-riage.
After being an understanding wife all of these years, I now question whether he can be trusted. What should I do? He will never go to a marriage counselor. -- Upset in Illinois
Dear Upset: This note is 10 years old and doesn’t say very much. Your husband is not likely to admit to any-thing, and in fact, there may be nothing to con-fess. Either forgive his failings and concen-trate on the good mar-riage you claim to have had, or get into coun-seling for yourself and decide what your next move is. We think the
note is not evidence of a betrayal, and you should let it go.
Dear Annie: My 50-year-old son was just divorced for the second time. I love both of his exes as friends, and they are nice women. But he told me that I am not to speak to them any-more.
I never thought his divorcing his wives meant they divorced the rest of the family. I love my son, but I don’t like his demand. What is your advice? -- Nantucket
Dear Nantucket: We dislike it when people issue demands to others about who their friends can be. Are there grandchil-dren involved? If so, inform your son that it is necessary to main-tain a civil relationship with his exes for the sake of the children. Otherwise, determine what the consequences will be. If your son threatens to cut off contact with you if you
communicate with his exes, you might choose to stop.
Dear Annie: I’m writing about the letter from “Heartbroken,” whose fiance broke off their engagement after he discovered that she kissed another guy while drinking and dancing in a bar. Good for him. She is not ready to be married or in any type of commit-ted relationship. She is selfish, disloyal and lacking in self-control.
In bars and clubs, the atmosphere is highly sexual, and in my opin-ion, just going there is a form of cheating because you’re looking to flirt. My guess is she did more than just kiss this guy, but that was the only part her fiance found out about. She probably doesn’t feel obligated to be more honest than that.
We have lost an understanding of what makes a true, loving relationship. It is built on trust, loyalty, sac-rifice, kindness and
a love that makes us want to protect our partner from hurt, a love that builds them up and gives them the confidence to be better.
“ H e a r t b r o k e n ’s ” fiance saw the writ-ing on the wall. If he isn’t enough for her in the honeymoon stage
of their relationship, how will she behave in five or 10 years, when their lives have fallen into the daily grind that happens in all long-term relation-ships? What scares me the most is that she and so many others feel that what she did is no
big deal. -- All About Respect

For Thursday, March 13, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is an excellent day for research or to seek solutions and look for hidden answers. You are determined, logical and will not stop until you find what you’re looking for. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Listen to advice from someone who is older or more experienced than you, because it could be valuable. Quite likely, you will meet this person in a group setting. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You will impress bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs with your conscientious attitude and willingness to accept your duties. They see you as a sure bet for a long-time thing. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Make future travel plans today because you want to think ahead. This is also an excellent day to study any
subject or work on a thesis, book or writing project. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You can make head-way today dealing with debt, taxes, insurance matters, inheritances and anything that has to do with shared property. Someone older might have good advice. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Make long-range plans with partners and close friends today. Sit down and have a practical, heart-to-heart discussion. You can accomplish a lot. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) It’s easy to be productive at work today, because you are keen to get things done and willing to accept your responsibilities, even to do routine tasks. Bravo! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Parents and teachers will have success in dealing with children and young people today. This is also a good day
to make future, long-range plans about vacations and the arts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Family discussions will go well today, especially regard-ing practical plans for the future. This is also a good day to listen to your elders and discuss a family business. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Choose work that requires attention to detail and con-
centration, because you have this today. You are focused, disciplined and patient, which is all you need to get the job done. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Sit down with bosses or authority figures to discuss future finances, including your earnings. If you shop today, you will want to buy things that are practical and long-lasting.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You are highly disciplined today and will welcome an opportunity to work. Whatever you do will give you satisfaction and a sense of fulfillment. YOU BORN TODAY You are fascinated by the notion of destiny and predeter-mined causes. Many of you can make predictions. You are easygoing and accepting; nevertheless, you have high
standards. You are aware of your personal evolution and value opportunities for growth. Whatever you do, you are courageous. This year a major change might take place that is perhaps as significant as what took place around 2005. Birthdate of: Glenne Headly, actress; William H. Macy, actor; Emile Hirsh, actor.
