The Outdoor Education Academy is the centre of attention at J.L. Crowe Secondary School since the second batch of ducklings arrived earlier this month.

This program, for grades 11 and 12, provides life-changing experi-ences for students through a variety of activities such as wilderness cook-ing, trip planning, and mountain navigation. The students also help out in the garden which consists of two greenhouses, one outside and one inside, and the community garden. A coop also houses the six new ducklings, which also teaches students about raising and caring for animals.

Teacher Colin Adamson decided it was time to get more ducklings before the end of the school year. He took the students on a field trip to the Quack Me Up! farm in Creston. The class acquired six new ducklings and saw cows, goats, pigs, and sheep

in the everyday farm setting“It’s a great educational connec-

tion piece to have. I don’t want to let that go,” said Adamson, who loves

that the students are regularly engag-ing with the ducklings.

The entire program has been a school-wide project. Students have helped construct a coop, with a mural, for the ducklings, build plant-er boxes for the garden and maintain the plants throughout the year as well as harvesting everything for food classes and sharing the experience with the community.

Meanwhile, the Outdoor Ed stu-dents are enthusiastic and eager to care for the newest ducklings.

“It’s educational,” said Grade 11 student Sarah Grieve. “I think it’s great. I really like the whole garden and having the ducks. The whole idea is awesome.”

Another Outdoor Ed student, Aven Cosbey, enjoys learning about where her food comes from.

“(I’m from) a family of vegetar-ians, as a meat eater, I have to make an informed decision about eating meat.”

The students can’t wait to watch them grow and become a resource they can use to help the school.

Last week, the Foods portion of Outdoor Ed prepared a potluck lunch by harvesting last year’s ducks and shared with the school.

Most of the students were un-aware that such a fate would await the ducks; however, the students from Outdoor Ed brought in the ducks for the hands-on sustainability of taking care and using the animals to learn about food sources.

The towers are up, now the ac-tual bridge can go up.

First, the waterway between the new bridge and Columbia River Skywalk site will be closed on Tuesday, allowing crews to begin the suspension part of the build by carrying rope and cable from shore-to-shore.

The stretch of river will be closed intermittently from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. today and on specific days (not yet announced) until late May.

Restricting water access for this

leg of work is required under the project’s Transport Canada permit, says city engineer Warren Proulx.

“What’s going to happen is Graham (Graham Infrastructure) is going to pull a rope and cable across the river by boat and in doing so, they are going to block the waterway,” Proulx explained. “Pulling these cables across the river, means they are going to be in the water or just above water level - if we don’t warn people they could run into it, and that, of course, wouldn’t be a good situ-ation.”

Signs will be posted at Indian Eddy Wharf and at the Beaver

Creek boat launch warning people of the temporary closure.

As added security, the city has hired two boats outfitted with air horns and signage to stop anyone who may not heed the warning.

“The only way to get the cable across the river is to pull it across,” said Proulx. “It’s just for the time it takes to get this cable across the river that boats can’t pass into the area.”

Beginning early Tuesday morn-ing, nylon rope will be dropped into a boat, taken across the water and wound up on a reel. From there, the line will be beefed up with a steel cable pulled across the water, lifted

with a crane and secured across the river like a clothesline.

“Once they actually get the cable across and on both sides, they are going to lift the cable up to the towers and build the bridge from a trolley,” said Proulx. “The cable goes up, and then they attach a cage that can hold four iron workers and the hi-line cable allows them to move along, lowering and raising the cage while they work on the bridge,” he added. “The basket will have hooks to attach the items the workers need for each part. Then they return to shore, get more parts and go back out and work on the bridge from there.”

Students in J.L. Crowe Secondary’s Outdoor Ed program are tasked with caring for ducks as well as the school’s com-munity garden. Among other things, the program offers students lessons on sustainability with local food sources. Guy Bertrand photo

Along with swearing in a new council member last week, Warfield officials embarked on a new journey - one that requires only a keyboard and screen, no paper.

“Council has been equipped with iPads which are loaded with all agenda items and correspon-dence,” says Warfield Mayor Ted Pahl. “And we also added a TV on the wall.”

Going paperless has changed the meeting format somewhat,

Pahl explained.“We can now project the

agenda and meeting items onto our TV screen so council and any visitors will be able to view what we see,” he added. “Delegations will now be able to project presentations onto a viewable screen.”

All were on board from the start, said Pahl.

“This is something we as a council have been discussing, we wanted to make a difference in in-paper production and carbon footprint reduction.”

Prior to its first paperless

meeting, Warfield council of-ficially swore in Coun. Arlene Parkinson. Parkinson is a for-mer elected village councillor (1990 to 1999) who won the seat in the April 9 byelection.

Other than checking off small ticket items Wednesday night, Mayor Pahl says council continues budget deliberations, including 2016 sewer rates.

“We will probably end up having some additional meet-ings to decide before the May deadline,” he added.

With a new easy-to-follow website that includes links to

agendas and minutes, Warfield joins Trail in the transition to the digital world.

The city began posting council meetings on its website mid-2005, but didn’t actually cut out paper until four years ago.

“It wasn’t until 2012 that we went paperless,” says Corporate Officer Michelle McIsaac. “With council instead having lap tops to access the agendas in advance of, and during the meetings,” she added.

“There were cost and envi-ronmental benefits achieved.”

Laying healthier groundwork and meeting cleaner targets in the midst of the Trail mining industry has led to a national nod.

The Trail Area Health and Environment Committee (THEC) is one of eight finalists from a list of 23, up for the 2016 Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) Award for environmental excellence and community engagement excellence.

The TSM initiative looks at per-formance-based programs whereby mining operations like Teck, evalu-ate, manage and publicly report on critical environmental and social responsibilities.

The structure of THEC fits this criteria like a glove - the group puts the community in the driver’s seat, the chair is the Mayor of Trail, and 11 out of 16 seats are held by com-munity representatives.

Entering his second year in both roles, Trail Mayor Mike Martin says the award is great recognition for the hard work of the committee, the program team and the entire

community in improving health and environment.

“It lets us know that our commu-nity driven approach is at the fore-front of the industry for community engagement and decision making,” Martin said. “It is a significant hon-our to have Trail’s work recognized by this national organization, the Mining Association of Canada, the senior body of the mining industry nationally with representatives from the senior levels of the major min-ing firms.”

THEC has promoted “It Starts

with the Kids,” for 20-plus years, a child-centric healthy development plan and lead exposure prevention partnership between locals, the city, Teck Trail Operations, Interior Health, and the BC Ministry of Environment.

Recently a new ensemble called the Community and Family Working Group was added to the roster for bimonthly THEC meet-ings, which cover Teck Trail reports about air quality and fugitive dust, updates about in-home visits for families with young children, blood lead testing, garden and yard soil testing, support for those with levels above the typical range, and other community matters related to the industry.

The new group is another ex-ample of reaching out to the com-munity for assistance in program development and feedback, says

Martin.“They are just getting things

rolling,” he shared. “But I must say it’s already a very engaged and em-braced group.”

As THEC begins planning for a fall project, public consultation in advance of setting new and lower lead exposure targets for the next five years, Martin says being part of the working committee is a perk of his job.

“The accomplishments of the group have been nothing short of remarkable,” said Martin. “Even with this, there is the drive, passion and energy to reach for the next goal knowing that the actions already taken have made a significant dif-ference to the health of the com-munity,” he added.

“It is absolute de-light and pleasure to work with such an

engaged and committed group of individuals and without a doubt is one of the most rewarding aspects of my role on council.”

TSM award winners will be an-nounced May 2 at the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum convention in Vancouver.

Since 1935, the Mining Association of Canada (MAC) has been the national voice of the Canadian mining industry. Working alongside members, MAC promotes the industry nationally and interna-tionally, works with governments on policies affecting the sector and edu-cates the public on the value mining brings to the economy and the daily life of Canadians.

Adamson explained that advertising that the ducklings are going to be harvested might put a bad spotlight on the class; however, if stu-dents asked, he would tell them.

“I’m not forcing people to watch me kill ducks. That would be sa-distic to me, weird, and wrong.

“(They’re) not wild ducks, they’re domes-ticated ducks just like chickens,” he said, add-ing this is far better than

thousands of chickens cared for by a machine, which is done at the in-dustrial level.

The program invov-ling the ducklings helps the students understand how food sources work. He said using ducklings, which take 12 weeks to grow, offer a better edu-cational tool than chick-ens, which grow in six weeks.

The Outdoor Ed class plans on harvesting these ducklings by June and getting new ones in September. Adamson said as the ducks grow, they overtake the com-munity garden, which has prompted them to harvest the ducks before school ends.

Though this is educa-tional for everyone at the

school, a petition for sav-ing the ducks is circulat-ing online. The originator of the petition, who did not want to be identified, said the goal was to see the ducks sent to a farm rather than harvested.

Although the petition received a few groans from the Outdoor Ed students, Adamson was more than happy to ad-dress it.

“I was surprised that there has been more con-versations and the best conversations because of this petition,” he said. “I think it’s been great.”

If you go out in the woods todaySpring has sprung, and

urban humans have begun their annual assault on the natural

environment. With a strong tourist season expected, it’s likely to be the Wild West out there.

B.C.’s Conservation Officer Service has begun to provide regular updates on safety and enforcement issues through the camping, fishing and hunting season, to help with public education and wildlife preservation. Some of the incidents they have faced so far this year are troubling.

Freshwater fishing li-cences had to be renewed as of April 1, and enforcement patrols are underway. In the Kamloops area, checks on 243 anglers resulted in 19 warnings and 17 charges, mostly for fishing without a licence, using too many lines or fishing in closed areas.

That’s law and order compared to a recent boat

patrol on Lake Cowichan. Conservation Officers found about 80 per cent of people were fishing illegally, either with barbed hooks, banned bait, no licence, multiple rods or some combination of these infractions.

Speaking of boats, one of the tasks for B.C.’s 148 Conservation Officers is to prevent the spread of invasive zebra and quagga mussels to our many lakes. Native to the Black Sea, these prolific mus-sels got established in Eastern North America via ship bal-last tanks and have spread to the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes.

More than 400 boats and watercraft entering B.C. from other provinces and coun-tries have been checked at in-spection stations. They came from Ontario, California, Florida, Missouri, New York, Arizona and North Carolina, with 24 considered high risk and three quarantined. Three boaters were charged for try-

ing to refuse inspection.Other introduced species

are a bit scarier than mus-sels. A Burmese python was seized this month from an Abbotsford man, under re-cent legislation requiring permits for “controlled alien species.”

There have been no fur-ther sightings of a cheetah that was photographed wan-dering along Highway 3 in the Kootenays last December. Officers recently got a call

claiming a tiger was on the loose in Maple Ridge, but no evidence of an actual tiger has turned up.

Bear conflicts are on the rise around B.C., says Chris Doyle, Deputy Chief of the B.C. Conservation Officer Service.

There were 300 calls to the service about bears in the first three weeks of April, as they started emerging from hibernation and looking for food.

Tourists are fascinated by bear sightings, and the ever-present smart-phone cameras come out when bears eat new grass on the roadside. Doyle says the resulting “bear jams” on highways can be danger-ous.

There are still people who attempt to feed bears from their vehicles. This is not just illegal and dangerous to these unwary people, it conditions bears to associate vehicles and people with food, and to wander into traffic.

The B.C. government is testing a new electronic sys-tem that can detect large ani-mals approaching the road using thermal imaging and radar. It activates a flashing warning sign telling drivers to slow down.

The Victoria Day long weekend marks the official start of camping season, and as the weather heats up there will be campfire bans that will need to be enforced. As with fishing and hunting regula-tions, there are people who decide the rules don’t apply to them.

We hear a lot these days about the B.C. government’s effort to seize the proceeds of crime, such as gangster ve-hicles. This is a long-standing policy in enforcing the feder-al Fisheries Act and the B.C. Wildlife Act, where violators lose their gear as well as fac-ing fines of up to $1,000.

‘Huntsman’ sequel misfires ‘Jungle Book’ reigns

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — “The Jungle Book” remained king of the box office in its second weekend in theatres, beating new opener “The Huntsman: Winter’s War” by around $40 million, according to comScore estimates Sunday.

Disney’s live-action/CG spectacle is proving to be a true all-audience success story. With a PG-rating and solid word of mouth, it fell only 41 per cent in weekend two, earning $60.8 million and bumping its domestic total to $191.5 million in just 10 days in theatres.

The spectacular and somewhat unexpected hold of “The Jungle Book” overshadowed the debut of “The Huntsman: Winter’s War,” which, despite its high-wattage cast of Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain, had a somewhat lacklustre $20.1 million bow.

The movie cost $115 million to produce and is a follow-up to the 2012 fairy tale fantasy “Snow White and the Huntsman,” this time focused on Hemsworth’s character. The first film was budgeted at $170 million, earned $56.2 million in its debut and went on to gross $396.6 million worldwide.

There are a number of factors that may have contrib-uted to the uninspiring performance of the sequel, one of which is the absence of original star Kristen Stewart, comScore senior analyst Paul Dergarabedian noted. “Snow White and the Huntsman” launched in June 2012 — right in between the releases of the final two “Twilight” films.

“She was a key reason for the opening of that first film,” Dergarabedian said. “That was going to be a tough act to follow.”

“The Huntsman” also failed to impress critics and is hovering around 17 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes. Opening weekend audiences however gave the film a more promising B+ CinemaScore.

“Barbershop: The Next Cut” landed in third place with $10.8 million in its second weekend in theatres. “Zootopia” and “The Boss” rounded out the top five with $6.6 million and $6.1 million, respectively.

But this weekend, up 29.3 per cent from last year, is all about “The Jungle Book.” Dergarabedian noted that it could actually help jumpstart the summer movie season too. The year is already up 9.2 per cent and now the big “Jungle Book” audiences are being exposed to all of the trailers for the upcoming season which kicks off with the launch of “Captain America: Civil War” in the first week of May.

“Just like ‘Furious 7’ last year, ‘The Jungle Book’ is providing a great lead in for a really big summer movie season,” Dergarabedian said.

Sales of Prince songs spikeTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sales of Prince’s music have skyrocketed since the artist’s death last week.

According to Nielsen Music, in the three days following his death there were 2.3 million Prince song sales, including nearly 1 million on Thursday.

Sales were led by “Purple Rain,” followed by “When Doves Cry,” “Little Red Corvette” and “Let’s Go Crazy.”

The 57-year-old singer was found dead Thursday at his Paisley Park compound in suburban Minneapolis. An autopsy was conducted Friday. Authorities said it could be weeks before the cause of death is released.

Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson said Prince’s body had no signs of violence and there was nothing to suggest suicide.

LETTERS & OPINION

Another tough uphill climb for DuffyAn editorial from the

Summerside Journal-Pioneer

It doesn’t really matter whether Islanders, in par-ticular, and Canadians, in general, agree with last week’s verdict in an Ottawa courtroom that cleared P.E.I. Senator Mike Duffy of all 31 fraud and breach of trust charges against him.

What matters now is that Duffy’s full senate privileges have been re-stored. He’s free to carry on with all the duties and entitlements of the office.

And, for Duffy, this is his opportunity to prove himself.

He portrayed himself during his trial as a hard-working senator who has Prince Edward Island’s best interests at heart.

Now, he’s going to

have to work even hard-er. A judge might have cleared him, but the jury of public opinion is still out, and it’s clear many, many Canadians still have their doubts.

It will be so difficult to restore that credibil-ity that some might be tempted to simply resign. Don’t expect Senator Duffy to do that. If he didn’t resign under the weight of 31 criminal charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery aris-ing out of what has been an exhaustive investiga-tion into a Senate expense scandal, why should he step out of the spotlight now? He’s rarely been one to shy from the spotlight.

The spotlight of pub-lic scrutiny will surely shine brightly on Duffy, so here is his chance to

bask in it while work-ing extra hard to move mountains to help P.E.I. and Canadians.

Those mountains are going to be even harder to move now, because it was Duffy, at the very center of a scandal who embarrassed the Senate and shone inquisitive light into its secretive chambers.

One thing the trial clearly demonstrated is the Senate, if it is to con-tinue and be taken seri-ously, needs to come into the daylight. It needs to adopt crystal clear rules on senators’ duties and on the expenses they claim.

Perhaps most of all, Duffy’s trial cast a dim light onto Stephen Harper’s for-mer Conservative gov-

ernment. The whole scandal likely played a contributing role in the Conservatives massive collapse in last October’s Federal election.

Duffy, once a popular figure for Conservative fundraising functions, probably won’t be get-ting any such invitations going forward.

Freeing up his public appearances calendar will leave him with all that extra time he will need to get his senate colleagues onside to support what-ever work he sets out to do for the betterment of Prince Edward Island.

It’s bound to be a tough, uphill climb, but perhaps no more difficult than the trial he just survived.

It’s time for him to prove that he’s a good as he says he is.

Correction to the tax

numbers but point remains

The letter that ap-peared in the Trail Times on Friday (“Flat tax hurts Trail seniors” Trail Times, April 22) concerning the City of Trail flat tax increased from $160 to $320 was in-correct.

The flat tax ap-proved at the council meeting was $130 to $260. I phoned the Trail Times with the correction but it had already gone to press.

I apologize for the confusion but the main point of the letter still is that the increased flat tax has doubled and will af-fect seniors, retires and low income fami-lies the most.

Fred RomanoTrail

Trail Mayor responds to flat tax questionsIn response to the Letter to the Editor

dealing with the flat tax (“Flat tax hurts Trail seniors,” Trail Times April 22), Trail City Council has been dealing with the 2016 budget, the final prop-erty tax levy and the matter of property tax apportionment since early January. During the course of the normal bud-geting process, council reviewed the property tax levy and the forecasted increase, the impacts on the various property tax classes and discussed how best to apportion property taxes for the current year, given the dispropor-tionate changes and wide variances in residential assessments from the pre-ceding year.

Tax apportionment of property taxes is the last step in the budget process and Council must carefully determine how much each rate class will pay as part of determining property tax rates.

The establishment of property tax rates is not an exact science and there are many factors to consider in deter-mining the approach that is most appro-priate for the community. During the course of four separate reviews, a total of six taxation options were brought forward for council’s consideration, in-cluding several options involving vary-ing the mill rates contrary to what was indicated in Mr. Romano’s letter.

On April 11, 2016, the decision was made to move forward and to increase the flat tax from $130 to $260, not $160

to $320, as was stated incorrectly by Mr. Romano. Council, at their regularly scheduled meeting on April 25, 2016, will consider this matter as part of the first three readings of the Financial Plan and Tax Rates Bylaws.

The utilization of an increased flat tax, coupled with a reduction in the mill rate, was considered this year because of the dramatic and inconsistent changes experienced in residential property as-sessment levels.

The sole application of the current property tax system based on the prop-erty tax rate applied to the assessed value of a property resulted in a wide spread of taxation levels. The levy of an increased flat tax provided some com-pression to an otherwise wide variation and as a result established greater equity and fairness across all properties.

This tax apportionment recognizes that there is a baseline use of services for all properties and levying the flat tax provides greater equity in terms of fair apportionment.

To suggest that the utilization of the flat tax is unfair to everyone is unfound-ed. Simply put, property owners in Trail must pay for municipal services and the assumption that suggests seniors, retir-ees and others on fixed incomes being treated unfairly has no basis in fact. A “status quo” approach would have had considerably more dramatic impacts.

Council is currently following up

with the BC Assessment Authority to determine if something changed in the assessment process or if there are other specific factors relative to Trail that have created the wide variation in assessments this year. This occurred after a number of years of relatively stable assessments, resulting in mini-mal impact on the variation of taxa-tion rates.

Council remains committed to es-

tablishing a taxation profile, which is fair and equitable to all what was decided this year. Council will again have to determine how the flat tax rate should be applied as part of providing an overall fair tax rate to all rate classes and when considering the assessments where we are hopeful that 2017 will result in considerably more stability.

Trail’s Lauren Bay-Regula is coming out of retirement to play for Team Canada in the up-coming Women’s Softball World Championship at Softball City in Surrey July 15-24.

Bay-Regula last pitched for Team Canada at the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 and re-tired in 2009, but an email from Team Canada coach Mark Smith in February started the process that led to conversations with her husband David and brother Jason Bay, which helped the 34-year-old mother of three in her decision to accept the challenge.

“What was going through my mind is that people would think, ‘what is this old lady with three kids doing?’” Regula told the Vancouver Province. “My brother definitely made me feel better about it. He doesn’t say very much, but he always says exactly what he feels, and he told me that he wishes his kids were a little bit older when he was

playing and could remember watching him.

“That made me feel a little bit less like a circus.”

Bay-Regula lives in Akron, Ohio where she and David own and operate the gym, TrAk Athletics (named after the couple’s hometowns of Trail and Akron). Conditioning shouldn’t be a problem for Bay-Regula, yet, the left-handed hurler likely won’t be as dominating as she was when she pitched Canada into medal contention at the Games with a 1-0 win over China, before falling to Australia 5-3 in the semifinal.

As Bay-Regula continues to work out, Team Canada’s coach expects the J. L. Crowe Graduate to get back in the groove and return to form by the time the world’s rolls into Surrey.

“Lauren’s not coming in to be our saviour,” said Smith, who was also a world-class pitcher in his playing days. “She’s not coming in to turn back the clock 15 years. She’s coming in to be a part of our staff.”

“I haven’t pitched competi-tively in 20 years, but when we have an intrasquad game and I go out there, those instincts come right back. Those instincts don’t just die. I told Lauren, ‘You won’t forget this works. That, I promise you.’

“You don’t forget how to turn your arm on.”

Team Canada last won a medal, a bronze, at the World championship in 2010. The team won gold at the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto, but with the recent retirements of pitcher Jenna Caira and longtime vet-eran Megan Timpf, the team was in need of both pitching and experience, and Bay-Regula brings both.

Following the 2008 Games, Bay-Regula spoke to the Trail Times’ Guy Bertrand, reminisc-ing about her career in softball and considering her future.

“A great run is an understate-ment,” she told Bertrand. “I just liked being outside, chasing balls and running around with my

family. I never knew softball would be the backbone of my life, my education, my friend-ships and many life lessons along the way.

“I’ve met some of the most amazing people, been to more countries than I can count, had some of the greatest experiences and lived each day knowing how lucky I was to say that my job required ‘playing in the dirt.’ It’s been an amazing journey.”

And, it seems, one that is far from over.

Bay-Regula and the Canadian Women’s National Team will as-semble for a training camp June 11-17 in Southern California before heading overseas to Japan for a series of exhibition games from June 18-28. The team will then travel back to the United States and play in the US World Cup of Softball in Oklahoma City from July 5-10 before re-turning to Canada for the World Championship.

“It’s an adventure,” she added. “Who doesn’t like an adventure.”

The 15th Royal Canadian Legion Outdoor Track and Field Meet is ready to run at Haley Park in Warfield on Saturday.

Last year’s event saw 15 teams and over 130 athletes from the East and West Kootenay, Boundary, and Okanagan-Shushwap, including 15 competitors from the Trail Track and Field Club (TTFC) compete in over 100 events, as local athletes delivered strong performances.

“There’s going to be people from Jaffrey, and Cranbrook, and people from Kimberley … I assume people from Invermere, and probably 20-plus kids from my own club, because I’ve got 30 members,” said Trail Track and Club coach Dan Horan. “And that’s more than usual.”

The Legion Meet is also the qualifier for the B.C. Summer Games and Horan has five athletes

eligible to qualify.“I hope they’re all going to make

the team. Being as I’m the Zone rep and the head coach I attempt to get as many kids as possible. But there’s Sage Stefani who is going to try to make the Pentathlon, and the Catalano boy from Rossland he’s really quick … and he’s going to get on the team one way or another.”

The 2016 BC Summer Games go in Abbotsford July 21-24.

The registration deadline is set for Thursday with an entry fee of $12 plus $3 if you are not a BC Athletics member. Anyone, from ages 9-to Masters, who are interested in participating in the event can sign up by accessing a registration form at trailtrackclub.ca or emailing Horan at dhoran@telus.net. Late entries will be ac-cepted until 9:15 a.m. on the day of competition.

Warriors capture BCHL championshipTIMES STAFF

After dropping Game 5 Thursday night, 5-2, the West Kelowna Warriors rebounded on Saturday with a 4-2 win over the Chilliwack Chiefs to hoist the Fred Page Cup and capture their first ever BCHL championship.

West Kelowna now advances to the Western Canada Cup begin-ning this weekend in Estevan, Sask.

“It’s awesome, just surreal,” Warriors’ captain Kyle Marino told the Kelowna Capital News on Sunday afternoon. “It hasn’t fully sunk in yet, but it’s a great feeling for the guys…and great to be able to bring it to the people with the team and in the community who have been waiting so long for this.”

The Warriors opened the scor-ing in the first period, as Garrett Forster’s slap shot from the left circle beat Aidan Pelino to open

the scoring in the first two minutes.Chilliwack responded almost

immediately, as Ryan Forbes jammed one past Keelan Williams to tie the game up at one.

West Kelowna went ahead with a great backhand move by captain Kyle Marino to put the Warriors up 2-1.

After a scoreless second period, the Warriors went up 3-1 on Kylar Hope’s 15th of the playoffs on the power play from the slot, as the building erupted once more.

Jonathan Desbiens gave the Warriors a 4-1 lead on a 2-on-0 with Brett Mennear just moments later.

The Chiefs got back to to within two, but the Warriors saw the time tick down with a packed house on its feet as West Kelowna wins its first Fred Page Cup in the team’s 10-year history in the Okanagan.

With the victory, the Warriors

now advance to the Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup in Estevan, starting next Saturday night against the host Estevan Bruins.

Western Canada Cup: The Melfort Mustangs booked their spot in the Western Canada Cup after eliminating former Trail Smoke Eaters’ Mitch Foyle and Greyson Reitmeier of the Flin Flon Bombers with a 2-1 win on Sunday to take the best-of-seven series in six games and capture the Canalta Cup. It’s the Mustangs second consecutive Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) champion-ship. Also, joining the Mustangs and Warriors at the Western Cup are the Brooks Bandits of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, the defending RBC Cup champion Portage Terriers of the Manitoba League, and host Estevan Bruins of the SJHL.

The Birchbank Ladies Opening was held on April 19 with balmy 28 C temperatures and a “Flag Frenzy” format. Using no handicaps, players were numbered 1 to 4 and after completion of the hole the score was determined by instructions posted on the flag. Winners from left are Kathy King, Michelle Hansen, Helen McLellan, and Denise Gausdal. submitted

An impressive field of 80 players signed up for the first tournament of the Birchbank Retirees season. The Best Two Net Scores event was won by the team of (from left) Butch Palmer, Ross Brinson, Ken Coupland, and Alan Karges with a total score of 121.

BIRCHBANK GOLFRoyal Canadian Legion ready to run on Saturday

Grand Forks will not be having a demolition derby this year after council turned down an application for a tempo-rary land use permit for the land where it was to be due to be hosted due to environment risks.

A group of organizers were planning to run the demolition derby on the land by Ace’s Pit Stop on Highway 3 by Kootenay Car Care on June 25 but the application was turned down.

A representative from

the city said derby orga-nizers were requested by the city to engage in preliminary discussions with the relevant provin-cial ministries in order to determine whether they would even consider the event at that location.

The representative also said the city and council received some paperwork and information from the derby organizers but not the proper authori-zation to proceed. The city explained that the pre-screeeing stage is required for staff to gather the information necessary to present a “full picture”

to council regarding any and all issues surround-ing the application for a temporary use permit. The city said “there is a lengthy legislative process that must be followed for issuing temporary use permits.”

The city recommends that the derby organiz-ers consider postponing the event until the fall to give ample time for due process to occur.

“(Co-organizer) Wes Tetlock did provide an email from the Ministry of Environment, that said they would not need authorization to handle

any hazardous wastes that would be generated as a result of the derby,” said the city. “We also received an exchange of information between the habitat biologist at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources and Graham Watt who discussed stream set backs and riparian area considerations.”

The city also had to consider other environ-mental issues not just spill containment and clean-up including the timing of nesting birds in the sensitive shoreline area of the river.

Yet another attempt to secure land at Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park for

commercial use has failed.A tenure application

by Nelson resident Lee Johnston to establish a non-mechanized back-country skiing and yurt

site was denied Thursday by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

Johnston, who sub-mitted his papers in

November for the site under the company name Alpine Basin Ski-touring, hoped to use land just south of the park with oc-casional use of a mountain within the park.

Sharon Dailey, the ministry’s section head for land authorizations in the Kootenay Boundary, cited three reasons for her decision.

• Johnston’s request overlapped an area cur-rently being considered for use by Recreation Sites and Trails.

• The application didn’t comply with the Regional District of Central Kootenay’s Official Community Plan, which suggests Dailey didn’t be-lieve Johnston had suffi-cient community support.

• Johnston’s applica-tion failed to comply with the Interior Healthy Authority’s acts and regu-lations for drinking water and sewage disposal.

“The public com-ments, the Lands Branch and Recreation Sites and Trails have [each] indi-

cated there is increasing difficulty in being able to resolve land use conflicts between tenure holders and the public,” wrote Dailey.

Johnston said he wasn’t surprised by the ministry’s decision and thought his application was an uphill battle from the start.

“Obviously I’m a little bit disappointed I can’t follow through with that dream,” said Johnston. “However my main intent still remains the same. I’d like to see the area become

accessible for non-mecha-nized recreation and [I’ll] try to pursue that in terms of working with local out-doors clubs to increase that potential.”

The decision also mis-takenly refers to Johnston’s company by the name of Kootenay Heli-Ski Inc., which filed a previous ten-ure application to operate daily heli-ski tours in the same area. That applica-tion was denied by the ministry in November after vocal public oppo-sition.

NHL playoff ratings plummet in Canada

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

With NHL playoff viewership down nearly two-thirds across Canada, the television executive who committed Toronto-based Sportsnet to a 12-year, multibillion-dollar broadcasting rights agreement joked how glad he was to have a third-floor office.

If Scott Moore considered jumping, “I would just sprain my ankle,” the Sportsnet President told The Associated Press with a laugh during a telephone interview Friday.

“We’re disappointed but we’re not panicked,” is how Moore assessed his reaction to the ratings returns a little over a week into the league’s first post-season in 46 years without a Canadian team.

The first-round playoff series being broadcast on Sportsnet’s cable channels and CBC drew an average of about 500,000 viewers from April 13-17. That’s down from about 1.3 million over the same period last year, when five of Canada’s seven teams were competing.

The drop in numbers is happening two years into Sportsnet’s a $5.2 billion (Canadian) deal in which it acquired the NHL’s English-language broadcasting rights north of the border. The agreement includes the cable company controlling advertising and pro-duction rights of games shown on CBC, the nation’s public broadcaster.

Moore isn’t surprised Canadians are tuning out on their national past-time because there are no “home” teams competing. He said the drop in numbers is no different in the United States when Major League Baseball’s Toronto Blue Jays or NBA Toronto Raptors make the playoffs.

By comparison, the ratings north of the border are still outpacing those in the U.S.

NBC announced that the first eight days of the playoffs have drawn and average 484,000 viewers. That’s up by about 30,000 over that same last year, but pales in comparison to Canada and its population-base of 35 million.

Looking ahead, Moore cites competitive parity in the NHL’s salary-cap system as the reason he expects the cross-border playoff imbalances to even out over the length of the TV contract.

“If this was a three-year deal or a five-year deal, I think we’d be more concerned,” Moore said. “But I’d rather this occurred in Year 6 of the deal and after we had a couple of Toronto-Edmonton Stanley

Cup finals so that people would understand that, over the course of the 12-year deal, things will even out.”

Moore is encouraged that the Toronto Maple Leafs might finally be showing signs of having direction under a new re-gime led by team presi-dent Brendan Shanahan. And he doesn’t believe the Montreal Canadiens’ injury troubles will carry over into next season.

The Maple Leafs, who have made the playoffs just once in the past 11 years, have the poten-tial of drawing 3 mil-lion viewers, with the Canadiens second at 2.5 million, Moore said.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman isn’t con-cerned about lagging Canadian viewership.

“When you look at a first round where you go from having five Canadian teams to none, you’re going to see an impact in ratings,” Bettman told a meet-ing of Associated Press Sports Editors on Friday. “Let’s see what it looks like as it goes on. If we get a great Stanley Cup Final, I’m sure hockey fans from all over will find it compelling and will watch.”

Moore is already look-ing ahead to the second

round and a potential showdown between Alex Ovechkin’s Washington Capitals and Sidney Crosby’s Pittsburgh Penguins.

“Yeah, we’d love to have that,” Moore said.

Ratings weren’t the only TV-related issue Bettman addressed at the league’s headquarters.

The commissioner took issue with criticisms raised over late starting times by Blackhawks broadcaster Pat Foley during Chicago’s 4-3 double-overtime vic-tory over St. Louis on Thursday night. Foley said players and fans hate games starting at 9:42 p.m. EDT, which lead to having regulation approach midnight.

Bettman said the NHL staggers the start of games so they don’t overlap. He also noted NBA playoff games start at 9 p.m., and the NFL’s Sunday night games kick-off at 8:30 p.m..

“That everybody hates it, it was, I think, off the mark,” Bettman said, say-ing Blackhawks President John McDonough called him to say he wasn’t happy with Foley’s com-ments. “If we put all the games on at the same time, I guarantee you, we’d be criticized for that.”

TODAY’S CROSSWORD

LEISURE

Dear Annie: I want to write a let-ter to all the adult children who enjoy overnight visits to Grandma’s house with the kids. We love to have you.

But I have to tell you that Grandma is getting older and slower. She’s also caring for Great-Grandma. Oh, she puts on a good show, but the truth is, she needs to rest after you leave. So, I would like to make a sugges-tion. Before you rush back home, bring the sheets and towels to the laundry room and wash them. Make the bed. You might even sweep the kitchen floor. Consider this a good example for your children to see how to conduct themselves when they start bringing their own children to your house someday.

Please remember that she is “your mom” and not “your maid.” I’m looking forward to having you back next year. We love you. -- Kansas Granddad

Dear Kansas: Adult children often freeze their parents at the mo-ment they left home and don’t see that their energy levels and physical

health have changed. We hope they will listen to your suggestions -- and Granddad, we hope you are helping Grandma, too.

Dear Annie: This is in response to the letter from “Perplexed Dad,” whose son had a math problem wherein both agreed the answer was 8, but the teacher said it was 6. You agreed with Dad.

I’m a retired math teacher with a Ph.D. in math edu-cation, and I’d like to say that the “runs around the track four times more” problem probably has no right answer because it is so poorly writ-ten. If it said, “John made four times as many laps as Sue,” it would be multiplication. If it said, “John made four more laps than Sue,” it would be addition. The word “times” often (but not always) means to multiply and often (but not always) means to add.

Another good answer to that prob-

lem might be 10: If Sue makes two laps and John makes four times more,

that would be eight more, for a total of 10. If I were the teacher, I’d ask the kids to write a problem about running around a track that requires mul-tiplication and another that requires addition.

But there are two re-ally worrisome issues about this problem in my view. The first is

that kids get discouraged enough about math without poorly written problems. The second is that these poorly written problems are every-where, including on tests, and kids are essentially penalized for failing mind reading. -- K

Dear K.: We heard from a lot of readers, many of whom were angry with us for not knowing the answer was definitely 6, and others who said it was obviously 8, and a few, like you, who said it could be 10.

We totally agree that the question

was poorly written and the meaning ambiguous. Here’s why we concurred with Dad that it was a multiplication problem: The son is 8 years old and in third grade. A simple addition problem of two-plus-four would be too easy for that grade level. Most third graders are doing multiplica-

tion and division. But we’re delighted to mess with everything and go with 10. Our thanks to all who wrote.
