routes and service levels are made by local governments based on recommenda-tions by the West Kootenay Transit committee (made up of local government repre-sentatives), public feedback and information provided by BC Transit.
The weekend service became available after members of the East End Services agreed to add 230 hours and the new line with a $12,000 bump in cash last fall.
“For the West Kootenay Transit Committee, it has been a progressive process of trying to meet the needs of our region,” said Lawrence Chernoff, committee chair and Castlegar mayor.
“Partnering with BC Transit, we were able to establish transit service of
Saturdays to connect the West Kootenay commun-ities.”
The future of public transit across B.C. is under provincial review and a key strategy in the government’s climate action agenda.
When people choose public transportation over using a vehicle for travel,
transit services can provide a range of benefits, such as reduced road congestion and lower greenhouse gas emission.
That Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure released a provincial transit plan in 2008, aimed at substantial-ly expanding public tran-sit provide-wide by 2020. though a recent audit revealed it is falling short of its goal.
The province has since launched a web-based resource called “Shaping Transit’s Future in British Columbia,” aimed to raise public awareness about the transit system and the chal-lenges it faces.
Another provincial incen-tive called BC on the Move: A Ten Year Transportation Plan has been engaging communities in a consulta-
tion period since last fall.The 10-year provincial
plan encompasses all trans-portation networks from walking and cycling routes to transit, highways and services for those with dis-abilities.
Aging infrastructure, environmental impacts, evolving travel choices and highway safety will be addressed in the new plan that is slated to be made public this spring.
A series of short-, medium- and longer-term priorities will focus on: moving goods and people safely and reliably; growing the economy; connecting and strengthening com-munities; and maximizing collaboration and invest-ment with partners in regional and local govern-ments, First Nations, and the private sector.

Taghum resident George Fofonow awoke at approximately 4 a.m. Sunday to find an adjacent property engulfed in flames. Seemingly centered around the property’s primary trailer, the blaze had spread to the surrounding structures and was causing a series of house-rattling explosions.
“I went to bed late last night, about 2 a.m. But I didn’t realize there was a time change so it was actually closer to 3 a.m. As I was going to bed I heard a real loud, well, it wasn’t a bang or a boom. It was a slam. I just wondered what the hell was going on next door.”
When he rushed out on to his porch after being woken by his wife an hour later, Fofonow saw another man who lived on the property owned by Ryan Tapp frantically running around the fire, shouting Tapp’s name. He yelled for Fofonow and his wife to call the fire department, but emergency services were already en route.
“I thought our house could be in danger. There were phone calls coming in because there were a couple vehicle explosions. But the explosions kept going and going and going. Fire was coming out of the sky and flying out towards the lake. There were so many flammable things in that yard.”
Fofonow said he’s never seen any-thing like it.
“It was terrifying, like a war zone. You’re hearing pop, pop, pop and I’m thinking what else has he got over there? Is he supplying the US army?”
Resident Ming Kwan said he initially mistook the sound for fireworks.
By the time the Star arrived at the scene on Sunday afternoon, acquaint-ances and residents were congregating at the base of the driveway. A rescued cat was being held in the arms of a neighbourhood child while police offi-cers and the coroner’s service surveyed the wreckage.
And though some residents expressed concern for some livestock
that had been living on the property, it appeared no animals had been harmed.
Though authorities have confirmed one person died, they have not released the name, age or gender of the victim. Local residents believe it was Tapp, 28, who was killed, and a number of his friends were mournfully supporting one another behind the yellow police tape.
Nelson firefighters responded with help from the Beasley and Blewett fire departments, as there are no hydrants in the area.
“Upon arrival of the first crew, the structure was completely involved in fire as well as multiple vehicles and out-buildings,” assistant fire chief Michael Daloise said in a news release. “The first arriving crew’s primary objective was to prevent the fire from spreading to the neighbouring properties.”
Initial reports were that two people were inside. One person was later located in town, but the other was found dead inside.

City crews took advantage of the warm weather last week and poured new sidewalks along Nelson Ave. in West Trail. The stretch of wet concrete was under a tent of plastic to allow adequate curing time. The walks had to be replaced following a water main break earlier this year.

Certain residents may also be getting the itch to start their backyard pool clean-up.
Warfield residents with private swimming pools should take note of the village’s updat-ed bylaw regarding the enclosure require-ments.
What’s changed, is that fences cannot have openings greater than 10 centimetres (cm). Additionally, any gate in the fence can have no openings in it, and the space between the gate and fence cannot be greater than 10 cm when closed.
The enclosure height, which is a mini-mum of 1.2 metres, remains unchanged.
The City of Trail’s building bylaw requires private pools be enclosed with a secure fence not less than 1.5 metres and openings no greater than five cm. The rules apply to both underground and portable pools, with the latter dependent upon size and depth.

The teens have had their turn, and now it is time for the older, more seasoned Warfield resi-dents to voice their ideas and concerns.
On Wednesday morning, Warfield council is hosting a second forum, similar to last week's teenage-focussed talk, but this time for seniors who live in the community.
Councillor Diane Langman sees the forum as an opportunity to follow up on concerns she heard during her time on the campaign trail before last year's municipal elections.
“There were a lot of things seniors were ask-ing for when we were going door-to-door leading up to the election,” she said. “There were a lot of things they were saying that they didn't feel they were being heard.”
Langman says there have been attempts to put together programming and activities catered to the older crowd, but they never got off the ground.
“We want to find out exactly what they need and look at how we can start that up – they just didn't have the enrolment numbers,” she said, adding that the community sometimes looks to Fruitvale and their Senior's Tea success.
“It would be nice to have something similar (to Fruitvale), but they have a lot of funding that goes towards that. They qualify as an age-friendly community and that is definitely something we would love to move towards.”
After the success of last week's youth forum, Langman hopes to look at ways to bring the ideas from both forums together.
“Right now, the community seems a bit frac-tured (between age groups),” she said. “It is about tying the entire community back together.”
The forum will begin at 11 a.m. on Wednesday morning at the village hall. Coffee, tea and cook-ies will be provided. Call 368-8202 for info.

Yes! For patients who are gaggers, the thought of having
impressions (moulds) can put them off wanting to straighten their teeth. Fortunately, we are now able to offer Invisalign treatment without ANY goopy moulds being done. We recently acquired a high-tech 3D iTero tooth scanner which electronically scans and records the shape of your teeth. Within a few minutes after the scan we can show you how your teeth could look when straightened! The scan is then sent to Invisalign, so we can plan the most appropriate movements for your teeth. As well as being more comfortable for the patient, this technology is faster and more accurate - meaning that we can get you the smile you have always wanted,
sooner.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SROGERS PASS,
B.C. - It’s a never-ending war that the Canadian Forces has no hope of winning. They have to settle for victories in small battles along the way.
Despite lengthy stints in wars over-seas, Canada’s longest military mission con-tinues in Rogers Pass, where it has taken part in Op PALACI doing avalanche con-trol for more than 50 years.
Every year since 1961, from November to April, the artillery task force is deployed in the pass with 105-mm howitzers modi-fied for precision firing from roadside gun platforms.
The shells are fired into rock formations to reduce natural ava-lanches.
The objective is to prevent block-age of the Trans-Canada Highway and Canadian Pacific rail corridors between
Vancouver and the rest of Canada.
Sgt . David Chelkowski, the troop sergeant-major for the 1st Regiment of the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery (1RCHA), served two tours of duty in Afghanistan.
This year marks his second deployment doing avalanche con-trol.
“This is the only part of Canada where the soldiers deploy to support ava-lanche control,” says Chelkowski.
“At the end of the day it is a mission and we’re here to do a job that’s asked of us.”
He says he and the
new recruits here for the first time realize they are taking part in a bit of history.
“Members of our regiment and other regiments in Canada have been doing this since the 1960s and for them it is import-ant to write another chapter.”
Between 700 and 1,500 rounds are fired each year at predeter-mined targets in the peaks most at risk.
Within a couple of minutes the guns are locked into place on reinforced firing platforms, aimed and ready to fire.
Chelkowski says the results can be
awe-inspiring.“It’s Mother Nature
at its best. “You can just
watch the trees tum-ble in front of it,” he explained.
“It’s out of control and you can’t do any-thing but stand in awe and watch the view.”
It is Parks Canada who is calling the shots - literally.
Jeff Goodrich, the senior avalanche offi-cer, says his people do the science and the
forecasting and the Canadian Forces pro-vide the firepower.
In a 40-kilometre stretch within Glacier National Park, he says there are 134 avalanche paths that could hit the road.
“It’s amazing how much it can snow here,” Goodrich says.
“We get periods where we don’t get blue sky for weeks on end and we can get into periods of stormy weather where we
need to do avalanche control and the next day get back at it again.”
Lt. Steen Hinman-Miller, the troop commander, is in the Rogers Pass for the first time this year. It’s not something that is covered in basic training.
“Shooting down avalanches? No, it’s not included in the job description,” he says with a laugh.
“We train for gen-eral warfare for the most part, but any-thing we can do to help another govern-ment agency for the people of Canada is what we do.”
Military wages never-ending battle against enemy avalanches“Shooting down avalanches?
No it’s not included in the job description.”

A new poll gives the No campaign a growing advantage in the transit and transportation referendum a week before ballots are to be mailed out.
The Insights West online sur-vey found 55 per cent of Metro Vancouver voters definitely or prob-ably will vote No, compared to 33 per cent definite or probable Yes voters.
That’s a two-point gain for the No side and a five-point drop in Yes support since a previous poll in February.
About 11 per cent of respondents were undecided as to whether they will support the proposed 0.5 per cent sales tax to fund transit upgrades.
Opposition is strongest among older and middle-aged voters, as well as men and those who drive.
Not even a majority of regular transit users now intend to vote Yes – support in that group fell to 46 per cent.
“Over the past month, the ani-mosity from drivers to the pro-posed funding structure for tran-sit improvements has hardened,” Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said. “But even among tran-sit riders, who conceivably stand to benefit directly from the transporta-tion plan, the level of support for Yes has dropped consistently every month.”
Support is highest at 43 per cent in Richmond and Vancouver, but that drops to 39 per cent on the North Shore, 32 per cent in Burnaby, the Tri-Cities and Maple Ridge, and to just 24 per cent South of the Fraser
Among Yes voters, most con-tinue to say they’re dissatisfied with TransLink’s performance but believe the investments to be funded by the Congestion Improvement Tax is the best way to deal with current and future transit problems.
Two-thirds of No voters believe there are other ways to fund expan-sion and doubt the new tax will stay at 0.5 per cent if it’s introduced.

barely surviving a leadership vote, Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger joked about finally being able to catch up on some laundry and housework.
But the premier who garnered just 51 per cent support from delegates on Sunday has a much greater challenge - reuniting a party that has been badly divided in time for next year’s elec-tion.
“The work starts again,” Selinger told a crowd at the party’s leadership convention Sunday. “Once we get it back together, we’ll be out there right away ... serving the people of Manitoba.”
Selinger barely beat his former cab-inet minister Theresa Oswald in a leadership race prompted by an internal party revolt. Oswald and four other senior cabinet min-isters resigned in October after calling publicly for Selinger to step down.
Although Selinger led the party to its fourth straight major-ity in 2011, he has faced public anger and sagging opinion polls since raising the prov-incial sales tax to eight per cent from seven in 2013 after promising not to.
Despite the slim margin of victory, Selinger made no pub-lic overtures or con-cessions to his critics.
The party will come together, as it has in the past, to fight the next election, he said.
“I’ve been in lots of tough situations in my life and I’ve always found a way to make it better,” Selinger told reporters Sunday. “That’s exactly what I’ve done here and I
know we can make it better starting tomor-row.”
Both Oswald, and challenger Steve Ashton who dropped off the first ballot, pledged to work to unite the party.
C o n s e r v a t i v e Leader Brian Pallister said he’s glad the “cir-cus is packing up and leaving town,” but said the NDP has shown it can’t give voters the change they desire.
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SDEER LAKE, N.L. - Police in
western Newfoundland say it’s lucky no one was hurt after a riderless snowmobile careened along the Trans-Canada Highway for 12 kilometres, bouncing off snowbanks and crossing the high-way at least three times before hitting a frozen mound, going airborne and flipping over.
The Mounties say the bizarre misadventure started Monday around 2 p.m. when a snowmobil-er was trying to cross the two-lane highway west of St. Jude’s, N.L.
Police say the machine had a hard landing as it came down the side of a snowbank, the throt-tle jammed and the driver was thrown off.
RCMP Cpl. Dean Hyde says
the Arctic Cat then sped off on its own, hitting speeds estimated at 50 to 60 kilometres per hour.
At one point, an officer in an unmarked cruiser tried to force the machine off the road, but the runaway sled got away.
Hyde says tracks left behind by the snowmobile show it crossed the highway three or four times before flipping over near Pasadena, N.L.
“It was going at a fair speed,” Hyde said in an interview. “From where the driver fell off to where the snowmobile came to a rest was just over 12 kilometres. ... It’s one-in-a-million, and it’s a good story in the sense that no one got hurt and there was very minimal property damage. It’s pretty amaz-ing when you think about it.”

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - The U.S.-
led coalition in Iraq is planning to join a trio of Canadian investiga-tions already underway into last week’s deadly friendly-fire episode in northern Iraq, but experts say if recent history is any guide, the public should tem-per its expectations about the findings.
In an interview Monday with The Canadian Press, Gen. Tom Lawson, the coun-try’s chief of defence staff, said the inter-national headquarters overseeing the war against the Islamic State is “interested in exactly what happened and therefore will be leading their own investigation.”
The involvement of American command-ers takes the concern about the deadly mis-take - which claimed the life of 31-year-old Sgt. Andre Doiron - to a completely differ-ent level, especially in light of a call for U.S. special forces to be operating at the front line.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper spoke Monday with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who expressed his condol-ences over the death, Canada’s first overseas casualty in the war against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
Defence Minister Jason Kenney implored opposition parties to
let due process unfold.“There are three
investigations that we hope to see the results of very soon.”
There is a military police case and a tech-nical investigation, known as a board of inquiry - both of which are standard proced-ure whenever a soldier dies in the line of duty. In addition, the special forces are conducting their own review.
Even so, there are significant organiza-tional and cultural bar-riers that cause both a former special forces commander and a lead-
ing defence analyst to wonder if anyone can be held responsible, and whether such calamities can truly be avoided in the future.
“Whether some-body will be held accountable for this, I don’t know,” said Roland Paris, direc-tor of the Centre for International Policy Studies at the University of Ottawa.
“Should they be? Yes, of course, but I don’t know enough about how the Kurds handle these situations to be able to guess at how they will do.”

OPINION
Seniors’ advocate strikes a chordB.C.’s new sen-
iors’ advocate has issued her second report, and the
media mostly ignored it.When this new office
was promised by a cam-paigning Premier Christy Clark two years ago, I sug-gested that B.C. already has 85 seniors’ advocates. They’re called MLAs, and inquiries go to their local offices.
Much to the cha-grin of the opposition, Seniors’ Advocate Isobel Mackenzie’s mandate is not to pursue individual cases, and so she won’t be serving up a fresh assort-ment of horror stories to embarrass the govern-ment.
Instead, it is to look for “systemic challenges” and recommend ways to deal with them.
The latest report is based on a survey of more than 500 seniors from around the province, and the key finding was not what she expected.
“We were surprised to learn of the lack of aware-
ness among seniors, par-ticularly low-income sen-iors, of government pro-grams and the subsidies available to assist them,” Mackenzie said.
The survey found that 60 per cent of seniors living on $30,000 or less annual income didn’t know they are eligible for discounts on Medical Services Plan premiums.
For income less than $22,000, the entire $864 cost of individual MSP premiums is waived.
Other frequently over-looked programs are a monthly rent subsidy called Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER), grants for disability modifications called Home Adaptations for Independence, drug cost assistance called Fair Pharmacare, property tax deferment and the fed-eral Guaranteed Income Supplement program.
Those older than 75 with income of less than $30,000 reported the low-est awareness of assist-ance designed specifically
for them. But you don’t get these
benefits unless you apply and show that your income qualifies.
The survey also found that the biggest fear of low-income seniors is that they won’t be able to afford to stay in their homes. See home adap-tation, property tax and rent subsidy programs above.
Awareness and usage of the SAFER program was lowest in the north and highest in urban areas, perhaps not sur-prising since the B.C. government exists more
in theory than in fact in many remote places.
So what should the government do about this?
Well, it could adver-tise these programs. The government does lots of advertising, but not about old news like the SAFER program, which dates back to the 1970s.
Clark’s government did a whack of advertising in the election year, 2013. Much of it was about the B.C. Jobs Plan, heavy on the hardhats and blue-print-style graphics and arc welding and stuff like that.
Then last year the gov-ernment’s big ad cam-paign was around the teachers’ strike, and the payments to parents to help with child care while teachers demanded twice as big a raise as all the other unions.
Education Minister Peter Fassbender is still bragging about the response rate for $40-a-day parental strike pay, which was snapped up by
almost 100 per cent of eligible parents.
This demonstrates that the government can indeed give away money with great efficiency, just by telling people how to get it.
The NDP’s version of seniors’ advocacy is to find the most tragic prob-lems from complaints coming into constituency offices, and use those to ambush the government.
A popular choice is an elderly couple who have to be separated because their medical needs are too different to keep them in the same facility.
TV news loves that one.
People cry on cam-era and denounce polit-icians for being heartless, as if the health minis-ter stayed up late plot-ting how to break their granny’s heart.
Maybe this seniors’ advocate wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - Food Network Canada is cooking
up a third season of “Chopped Canada.”Shaw Media says it’s ordered another season
of the culinary competition, and it will include a five-episode teen tournament.
In those battles, 16 teen chefs will tackle a bas-ket of mystery ingredients in hopes of winning a $20,000 prize.
A publicist says there will also be a new host to replace actor Dean McDermott, who announced last week that he was leaving the show.

From the Trail Creek News in 1895 to the Trail Times in 2015, the venerable local newspaper and its staff (from the left; Liz Bevan, Shannon McIlmoyle,
Sheri Regnier, Jeanine Margoreeth, Kevin Macintyre, Dave Dykstra, Jim Bailey, Michelle Bedford, Lonnie Hart and Guy Bertrand) are celebrating its 120th
anniversary in 2015.
Newspaper grows from humble beginnings in 1895B Y S H E R I R E G N I E R
Times Staff
The source of prosperity of the
Trail Creek county is, of course, its
magnificent ore bodies, according
the first edition of the Trail Creek
News. “Our interests at present
lie centred in and about the noble
structure that is rising foot by foot
on the brow of the hill overhanging
the beautiful town of Trail and of
its growth and magnitude we now
write,” noted the paper's writer and
editor W.F. Thompson on the inau-
gural front page.
The day was Saturday, Oct. 19,
1895 when Volume No. 1 of The
Trail Creek News was hot off the
presses. Under the headline, “This Means
You! When You Patronize the News
You Help Trail Grow,” Thompson
writes that it is now in order for
every citizen of Trail to subscribe
for the home newspaper, The Trail
Creek News, and “the times are
right for such a movement, the
price is right and if the News of
today is not all right, we will make
it right in future issues.”
The price was said to be “cheap”
at $2 per year, and the News office
would be found open all day long
and far into the night, and future
readers were expected to hand in
their subscription at once, so they
would not miss one issue of the
Trail newspaper. “If you want the
news, you must read the News,”
Thompson proclaimed almost 12
decades ago.While there's no silver or gold
commemoration for more than a
century of news reporting, the Trail
Times staff decided an honorary pat
on the back is deserving to all the
people who have typed, pressed,
written, delivered, or simply read
their way into the 120-year history
of the Silver City's only surviving
newspaper.Over the course of the year, we
will actively seek stories from peo-
ple in the Greater Trail commu-
nity such as long time subscribers,
past paper carriers and retired office
workers, who have memories to
share about how the Trail Times has
impacted their lives.See EARLY, Page 3

It’s often a good idea, when faced with a really fright-ening situation, to model the “worst case” outcome
and see how bad it could get. That can be quite bad, but it’s rarely as bad as the half-formed fears that build up if you don’t actually analyse the problem. Like Islamic State, for example.
It began with the conquest by an Islamist group called ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) of various bits of territory in eastern Syria in 2011-13. Its founders were almost all Iraqis who had got their start fight-ing the American occupation of their country. They were allegedly in Syria as volunteers in the struggle to overthrow Bashar al-Assad’s dictatorship, but they actually spent their time conquering territory held by other rebel groups.
Once ISIS had created a ter-ritorial base in eastern Syria, its fighters surged back across the border into Iraq in June, 2014 and captured Mosul, Iraq’s third-largest city.
First the Iraqi army and then the much better respect-ed Kurdish army crumbled in front of them. In July ISIS declared the border abolished and proclaimed the foundation of the “Islamic State” in the conquered parts of both Syria and Iraq.
A few days later the leader of ISIS, Abu Baqr al-Baghdadi, declared in a sermon in Mosul’s great mosque of al-Nuri that he is the caliph to whom all Muslims owe obedience. It was a bold step – there has been no caliph since 1924 – but it had great resonance among those many Muslims who linked the
collapse of the Islamic world’s power and prosperity to the neglect of its traditional reli-gious institutions and values.
Moreover, it is collecting pledges of allegiance from like-minded Islamist fighting groups in other Muslim coun-tries, each of which lends a little more credibility to its claim to be the new caliphate.
The first wave of pledges came in November, when Islamist groups in Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Yemen and Saudi Arabia declared that they acknow-ledged al-Bagh-dadi, now calling himself Caliph Ibrahim, as their leader and guide.
Little more has been heard from the Yemeni, Saudi and Algerian groups, but the Egyptian group, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, controls parts of the Sinai peninsula, regularly attacks the Egyptian army, and was officially desig-nated a “province” (wilayat) of the Islamic State in November. Libya, where Islamist groups have been gaining ground in the civil war, was carved into three further “provinces” at the same time.
In late January a former commander of the Pakistani Taleban and ten other jihadi leaders from Pakistan and Afghanistan also acknowledged al-Baghdadi’s authority , and declared that they constitut-ed the new IS “province” of Khorasan, taking in those two countries and “other nearby lands”.
Then last Saturday Abubakar Shekau, the leader of the mil-itant group Boko Haram, which controls much of northeastern Nigeria, also pledged allegiance to Islamic State: “We announce our allegiance to the caliph...
and will hear and obey in times of difficulty and prosperity. We call on Muslims everywhere to pledge allegiance to the caliph.” It’s definitely catching on, but how far can it go?
Well, not much further, probably. It is striking that all the new “provinces” of Islamic State, like most of the ori-ginal ones, are in mainly rural areas, often sparsely populated, and with few natural resour-ces (except some oil, in Libya’s case).
They are areas that corrupt and autocratic governments, many of them distracted by civil war, will simply abandon for the short term as not worth bothering about.
For Islamic State to seize big metropolitan areas and their resources would require a level of popular support in those areas that is unlikely to emerge. Big cities are full of relatively sophisticated people with something to lose, and are unlikely to see Islamic State as an attractive solution for their problems.
Without the big cities and their communications facili-ties – airports, harbours, major highways (which usually go through the cities) and the like – there can be little effect-ive cooperation between the widely dispersed “provinces” of Islamic State. They will have to go on fighting their own wars with little outside help, and some they will lose.
The broader struggle against Islamist extremism will prob-ably continue for at least a decade, and impose heavy costs on the people of the Middle East. But ultra-radical organi-sations like ISIS and Boko Haram are likely to break up in bitter theological disputes a lot quicker than that.

ISIS: The worst case contingency
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - A prominent
human-rights group says the Conservative government’s anti-terrorism bill could be used to target environmental activists and aboriginal pro-testers.
In a brief made public today, Amnesty International Canada adds its voice to those who say the bill would go beyond genuine security threats to ensnare those who mount demonstrations that
fall outside the strict letter of the law.
The Conservatives brought in the bill - which would sig-nificantly expand the Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s mandate - following the mur-ders of two Canadian soldiers last October.
It would give CSIS the abil-ity to disrupt terror plots, make it easier for police to limit the movements of a sus-pect, expand no-fly list pow-ers, crack down on terrorist
propaganda, and remove bar-riers to sharing security-relat-ed information.
The new disruptive pow-ers do not apply to lawful advocacy, protest and dissent, but Amnesty fears they could be used against activists who protest without an official per-mit or despite a court order.
The House of Commons public safety committee plans to hear more than 50 witness-es on the bill during hearings that begin Tuesday.
Bill could be used against activists, warns group

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SSam Simon, a
co-creator of “The Simpsons” and ani-mal-rights advocate who made a midlife career shift into phil-anthropy and chan-neled much of his personal fortune into social causes, has died.
Simon died Sunday at his home in Pacific Palisades, Calif., his
agent, Andy Patman said. He was 59.
He was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer in 2011.
After stints writing for “Taxi,” ”Cheers“ and ”The Tracey Ullman Show,“ Simon helped launch ”The Simpsons.“ During his writing and producing career, he collected nine prime-time
Emmy awards.He left “The
Simpsons” after its fourth season under a deal that rewarded him with ongoing roy-alties from the show, which is now in its 26th season.
He then estab-lished the Sam Simon Foundation, which rescues dogs from ani-mal shelters and trains them to assist the dis-abled. He also donated to Mercy for Animals
and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, among other groups. In 2013, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ Norfolk, Va., headquarters were christened the Sam Simon Center in rec-ognition of his sup-port for that organiza-tion.
Simon also funded a Los Angeles food bank.
In an interview with The Associated Press
in 2013, Simon voiced a desire to spend all of his money on charit-able causes.
“I’m supporting the charities that I sup-ported during my life-time,” he said, “and I want to continue to do that.”
Simon had grown up in Beverly Hills across the street from Groucho Marx, though his father was in the garment industry, not show business.
After turning his drawing talent into a job at an animation studio that made car-toons for kids, Simon submitted a script, on spec, to the ABC com-edy “Taxi.”
His script was bought and produced, and Simon, in his 20s, was hired as a staff writer and soon rose to be the showrunner.
From there he joined a new NBC sit-com called “Cheers,” where he was staff writer for its defining first three seasons.
In 1987 he became a writer and executive producer on the Fox sketch-comedy series “The Tracey Ullman Show,” where he was teamed alongside James L. Brooks, with whom he had worked on “Cheers” and “Taxi,” and cartoonist Matt Groening.
This trio became the founding fathers of “The Simpsons.”

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks repeated as Neil Murdoch div-ision champions after sweeping the Castlegar Rebels from the KIJHL playoffs with a 6-3 victory on Friday at the Castlegar Rec Complex.
The Nitehawks scored three times in the third period to break open a close 3-2 game on their way to their third division title in four years.
“After the second period, it was 3-2, it was a tight game, and I thought we played very well on the offensive side of the puck and generated a lot of chances,” said Nitehawks assistant coach Kevin Limbert. “They came hard up front as well and we got exposed a bit, and gave up some pretty good opportunities, and Drake (Poirier) came up huge for us. The game kind of blew apart a bit in the third period, but through 40 minutes it was a really close and hard fought game.”
After Rebels’ Connor Madsen was sent off for tripping, Ross Armour would tally the winning
marker three minutes and 14 seconds into the final frame. Armour took a pass from Andrew Miller and broke down the left wing, drove to the net, and beat goalie Austin Wells short side to give the Nitehawks a 4-2 lead. The victory ended the best-of-sev-en series in four games straight for B.V. who also beat the Rebels 4-2 the previous night.
The Nitehawks success can be attributed to a line up of young energized rookies and strong vet-eran leadership that saw 20-year-olds Andrew Miller net three assists and Walker Sidoni scoring once and adding an assist in the match.
“Our veterans have been phenomenal this whole playoff run, even in the Nelson ser-ies, and now this series,” said Limbert. “Our veteran guys like (Brayden) Horcoff, Stiffy (Taylor Stafford) whose hurt, Chuck (Jacob Boyczuk), Milsy (Andrew Miller), Sids (Walker Sidoni), our 20-year-old guys have been abso-lutely huge for us.”
The Nitehawks also received support from their rookie players,
as AP Kadrian Klimchuck opened the scoring, batting a centring pass from Jace Weegar out of the air and by Wells at 13:35 of the first period to put the Hawks up 1-0.
“He’s been huge. He plays with a lot of intensity, he’s intelligent, and he just gives us a whole lot of energy, and adds a new dimen-sion to that line.”
Less than two minutes later Castlegar would tie it when Ryan Rosich scored on the power play.
The Nitehawks have taken to inserting defenceman Sidoni as a big, physical body in front of the net on the power play, and the strategy paid off as the Trail native stuffed in the rebound of an Andrew Miller point shot to make it 2-1. Two minutes later, on another Hawks’ man advan-tage, Weegar would score a similar goal after Horcoff’s high shot from the top of the circle was mishandled by Wells, and dropped to the ice where Weegar fired it in.
Castlegar would cut the lead to one after Aaron Petten finished off a 2-on-0 with Yannis Soukas
with a single second left on the clock.
B.V. outshot the Rebels 21-11 in the first, and would keep the 3-2 lead through two periods, before breaking it open in the third.
Armour’s goal put the Hawks up 4-2, and one minute and 42 seconds later Weegar would net his second of the night to put the Hawks up by three. Castlegar got one back, but Mitch Foyle iced it, scoring on a breakaway midway through the period to make the final 6-3 Hawks.
B.V. outshot Castlegar 43-31, going 3-for-7 on the power play, while the Rebels went 1-for-4.
The Nitehawks will get a wel-comed rest, as they await the win-ner of the Eddie Mountain div-ision and will play either Fernie or Kimberley in the Kootenay Conference final.
“In the first two rounds of the playoffs you don’t want to play any extra games you don’t have to, so we’ll rest up, get a bit of R-and-R, and recharge the men-tal batteries, and any bumps and bruises we’ll get mended,” said
Limbert. The Kimberley Dynamiters
took a 3-games-to-2 lead over the Fernie Ghostriders with back-to-back 2-1 victories on Friday and Saturday. Game 6 was played Monday night but the result was unavailable at press time. The winner of the series will play Beaver Valley for the Kootenay Conference title.
“They are both phenomenal squads, they both skate well, and work hard, and you know we’ve seen them this year, and either way it’s going to be a grind.”
The Nitehawks will enjoy home ice advantage if the second seed Dynamiters win the series, other-wise they will travel to Fernie to play the regular season confer-ence champion Ghostriders on Wednesday for the conference final opener.
In the Okanagan-Shushwap Conference the Osoyoos Coyotes took a 3-2 series lead with a 5-2 victory over Summerland Steam Saturday, while Kamloops Storm ended its series 4-games-to-1 with a 4-1 victory over 100-Mile House Friday.
BY TIMES STAFFThe Selkirk College
Saints will look to three-peat as the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League champion after defeating the University of Victoria Vikings on Saturday in a two-game sweep of the best-of-three semifinal series.
The Saints got by the Vikes 4-3 in a thrilling overtime match in Game 1 Friday, before cruising to a 4-1 victory in Game 2 the next night at the Castlegar Rec Complex.
“There’s something about playoffs… the team gets into this mentality where we want to compete hard and it’s all about work ethic,” defenceman Lucas Hildebrand told Selkirk College correspondent Bob Hall. “It’s fun to be a part of and I’m having a blast.”
The Saints now host the best-of-three BCIHL Championship starting Friday night against the
Simon Fraser University Clan. The fourth-seeded Clan upset number-one seed Trinity Western in the other semi-final with two straight wins, giving the number two ranked Saints home ice advantage in the
final.On Saturday, the Saints’
Matt Martin scored the win-ning goal with 8:45 to play in the second period, snap-ping a shot from the face off dot over the shoulder of Vikes goalie Scott Legault
to give the Saints a 2-1 lead. The Saints opened the
scoring with 1:17 remain-ing in the first when former Trail Smoke Eater Darnell Dyck hit another former Smokie Logan Proulx with a pass, and the Trail native
made no mistake beating the Vikes goalie to make it 1-0 heading into the second.
Cameron Rowat would tie it at 1 midway through the second period, and less than two minutes later
Martin would score the eventual winner. Former Beaver Valley Nitehawk Mason Spear would ten-aciously win puck control and setup Trail native and former Nelson Leaf Jamie Vlanich to give the Saints a 3-1 lead with just over three minutes to play in the period. Vlanich would return the favour, assisting on Spear’s deflection to ice the game on the power play at 15:33 of the final frame.
“We kept it simple tonight,” said Saints for-ward Thomas Hardy, who, like Hilderbrand, is in his third season with the Saints. “We went into this game knowing we had a chance to play for the championship at home, so we just kept it simple. It turned out well.”
Selkirk goaltender James Prigone was stellar in net stopping 21 shots, while Legault faced 33 in goal for the Vikes.

FROM PAGE 11 On Friday, Trail
native Ryan Edwards scored twice including the overtime winner to lift the Saints to the 4-3 victory. Edwards’ deft tip-in on a Tanner Lenting point shot beat Legault and sent the capacity Castlegar crowd into a frenzy.
“Lenting took a shot and I was just off the side of net, it was lucky enough to go off my stick and
in,” said Edwards, who won a Kootenay Junior International Hockey League championship with the Beaver Valley Nitehawks last spring in his final season of junior. “It was crazy, the fans were crazy… it was one of the big-gest goals I’ve scored.”
Dyck, Hardy, and Shawn Mueller would round out the scoring for the Saints as they outshot the Vikes 31 to 23.
Selkirk College can set a record with its unprecedented third BCIHL title when they face SFU this weekend.
“Not in my wildest dreams would I have thought we would be in this position,” Hildebrand said after Saturday’s game. “When I came here, I didn’t really know what to expect. This third year has really opened up my eyes to how great this program has
become. Everybody has done such a great job, starting with [Selkirk College Athletics Director] Kim [Verigin] and [Saints head coach] Alex [Evin], it’s just incredible to be part of it and I’m loving every minute of it.”
Puck drop is at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday at the Castlegar Rec Complex. Sunday’s game, if necessary, is still to be determined.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SLOS ANGELES - Neill Blomkamp’s original
sci-fi film “Chappie,” about a police droid who learns to think and feel, fought its way to first place with a modest $13.3 million, according to Sunday estimates from box office firm Renrak.
The R-rated Vince Vaughn comedy “Unfinished Business” fared even worse, opening at No. 10 to a dismal $4.8 million.
The entire weekend is down about 35 per cent from last year. Will Smith’s “Focus” fell an estimated 46 per cent to take second place with $10 million.
One bright spot was Fox Searchlight’s “The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,” which opened in third place with a strong $8.6 million from 1,573 locations.

T h e C a n a d i a n P r e s sApparently there’s a method to the madness
behind the classic Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote cartoons.
Vox takes a look at a list of nine rules creator Chuck Jones had for the characters that were posted online last week.
Among them: “the Road Runner cannot harm the coyote except by going ‘beep-beep!,”’ “no dia-logue ever, except ‘beep-beep!,”’ and “the coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures.”
Rules for the Road Runner
Leisure
Dear Annie: I live in a rental space with my aunt and uncle. We enjoyed it until recent-ly. Here’s what hap-pened:
During the time we have been here, the rental space has had several different man-agers. All were nice and tried their best, but this new manager is treat-ing us poorly. “Sally” is evil and rude, and if she’s right, you’re wrong. Her attitude toward us makes us feel terrible. We pay our rent every month on time. We try to keep our rental space as clean as possible. We are cordial to our neighbors.
However, when we got a bedbug infesta-tion, Sally said it was our fault. We have heard from previous residents that they have had infestations, as well. A family had to move out because of this. Another needed to have their rental space exterminated before moving in.
I don’t think Sally is totally familiar with infestations. She knew nothing about bedbugs and had to read up on them. She thinks there is nothing wrong with blaming us, yet the fact that others on this property have had infestations indicates that the problem has been kicking around for a while, and oth-ers may have bedbugs soon.
She is charging us for the exterminator, even though we weren’t the ones who called him. She also arranged a follow-up spray with-out asking us. She is making us feel that we need to leave.
How do we find out
who the owner is so I can report Sally? -- Concerned
Dear Concerned: Some unenlightened landlords blame bed-bug infestations on the residents, but the truth is that a single infes-tation can reappear anywhere in the entire apartment complex over and over, regard-less of origin, which is what may have hap-pened in your space. It is necessary for all of the apartments in the vicinity to be thor-oughly disinfected, meaning the neighbors above, below and on either side.
You can find out who owns the rental spaces through your county government offices, which should have records of land own-ership. (In Chicago, it would be the Recorder of Deeds, but it varies by location.)
Dear Annie: My best friend’s daughter is get-ting married this sum-mer and has requested that her mom give her
a bridal shower. Since the couple has been living together for a while, they did not reg-ister for gifts and are asking that the shower invitation include a suggestion for money or gift cards.
I have heard that this is a common practice these days. But I think it’s ill mannered to ask your guests for money. What is your take on this? -- Old-Fashioned in Pennsylvania
Dear Pennsylvania: The way it works is for close friends and family of the bride to pass the word that cash or gift cards are preferred, and not include this in the shower invitation. It is also wise for the bride and groom to register for a few items, perhaps from a store they fre-quent where unwanted items can be returned for merchandise cred-it. This allows guests who are uncomfortable giving money to give something else. After all, giving anything is up to the guest, and
the couple should show gratitude for whatever is received.
Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Ventura, Calif.,” about dental scams and the response from the American Dental Association. I agree that a second opinion
is important.I live in a huge
retirement commu-nity. At least six people I know visited a large dental practice here, and all were told they needed extensive den-tal work. One man had a year of work done to the tune of $22,000.
The others, however, returned to their for-mer dentists in their old home cities. The second opinions they received were all the same: Nothing needed to be done to their teeth. Seniors with sav-ings should beware. -- Florida

Landlords shouldn’t blame tenants for bedbugs
Leisure
For Wednesday, March 11, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Do be careful, because this is an accident-prone time for you. Be aware of everything you say and do. Keep your eyes open, and look before you leap. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Something unexpected, even secretive, might catch you off guard today. If you’re suspicious about someone, do not trust him or her. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an accident-prone day for sports or group activities, so be careful. In fact, any kind of involve-ment with a group might end up in a nasty power struggle. Stay chill. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t let your ambi-tion get you in trouble with authority figures or even with partners and close friends. Pull in your reins a
little. Listen to what others have to say. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Travel plans will be can-celled, delayed or changed for some reason today. Avoid controversial subjects, like politics, religion and racial issues, because people are ready to fight. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Squabbles about inheri-tances, shared property, taxes, debt and insurance issues might arise today. Sidestep these if you can, because they could get nasty. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Avoid arguments with loved ones today, because people are looking for a fight. If you strongly dis-agree, wait a day or two to express your opinions. It’s better to be safe than sorry. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is an accident-prone day at work, so be care-
ful. Do not be pushy with co-workers or anyone in authority. Definitely avoid power struggles with others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Parents should be vigi-lant today, because this is definitely an accident-prone day for your kids or children within your care. Make sure you know what’s going on. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Small appliances might
break down at home today, or minor breakages could occur. Domestic argu-ments are likely because this is a tumultuous day. Smile and be patient with others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an accident-prone day for your sign, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Think before you speak or act. Keep eyes in the back of
your head. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might find money today; you might lose money. Something having to do with your finances is unpredictable, so be aware of this. This also can apply to your possessions. YOU BORN TODAY You like to be abreast of cur-rent times. You have good taste and can be charming. You also have a competitive
spirit. This is a testing year of growth and building. This might not be obvious, because growth will occur within you. Do not make major changes yet; wait until next year. Strengthen your financial position by reducing your overhead. Birthdate of: David Anders, actor; Sylvia Day, author; David LaChapelle, photographer. (c) 2015 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Big hair, dirty jokes and high notes took the Trail stage on Friday night in “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.”
Hosted by the Trail and District Arts Council, theatregoers were treated to a one man/woman show detailing the strug-gles of a Berlin-born transgender rock and roll singer named Hedwig and her life in the shadow of successful rock singer
Tommy Gnosis, a former boyfriend. The show was led by Bessie Wapp, play-
ing the title role, and told the story of Hedwig’s journey from sexually confused school boy, to a lonely woman drinking alone in her trailer, to nightclub per-former, all while cycling through a set of big, blond wigs. Wapp’s transformation from the beginning of the show, as a self-centred and high-maintenance woman to a melancholy, self-accepting, yet content
human being is seamless and takes the audience on the same ride, laughing at the start and empathizing by the end.
The musical numbers were the high-light of the show, especially the big voice coming from Yitzhak, Hedwig’s Jewish drag queen back-up singer and husband, played by Sydney Black. The Angry Inch, the German transgender singer’s back-up band, rocked the evening performance across many different genres of music,
keeping the momentum going and lifting spirits.
The show was put together by Black Productions and Selkirk College Contemporary Music and Technology pro-gram. and after its sold-out show in Nelson and last Friday’s performance in Trail, the cast is on their way to Cranbrook to share the songs and stylings of “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” with audiences across the Kootenays.
