PROUDLY SERVING THE COMMUNITIES OFROSSLAND, WARFIELD, TRAIL,
MONTROSE, FRUITVALE & SALMOINCLUDING GST
City engineer Warren Proulx is capping off 39 years on the job with the largest undertaking of his career.
Proulx recently sat down with the Trail Times to chat about the project in hopes of giving read-ers a glimpse of what it takes to build a bridge set to span the Columbia River from Rotary Park to McQuarrie Street at Columbia Avenue.
He laughs that the City of Trail won’t let him retire until the ribbon is cut and the newly named Columbia River Skywalk opens to pedestrians this upcoming winter.
“I’ve been working on this project for five years,” he said. “The details have been followed literally right down to the nuts and bolts.”
Engineer firm Buckland and Taylor calls the new crossing one of the longest suspension pedestrian bridges in North America, measuring 1,000-feet shore-to-shore. Constructing a project of this mea-sure involves much thought and planning, which is where Proulx and an army of engineers fit in.
“It’s pretty big for me,” said Proulx. “In all my years of engineering, I’ve never had a project this large and I’m sort of, even after all of these years, still learning.”
The foundation for the towers, wind anchors and abutments are complete, and con-struction is about to amp up with the delivery of 100-foot towers that will be trucked from Manitoba in mid-April. Road closures will be set to ensure the tricky move, which maneuvering through downtown and across the Victoria Street Bridge will be a feat of its own.
“You’re going to see lots happening in the next couple of months,” explained Proulx. “The towers will be in place, the hi-line will go up, you’re going to see a lot of activity.”
Positioning the towers will be done with two cranes — one on top and one on the bottom — which grab and place the pieces on the concrete tower bases that are now in place.
Once the towers are up, 30-foot temporary ex-tensions will be stacked on each tower and a cable will be strung from end to end, enabling crews to
work above the tower line.But how will the cable get across the river to
begin with? One of the options explored was to shoot a nylon rope across the river with an arrow, but there was concern the arrow wouldn’t make the distance.
Instead, a 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 clothes line. Once the hi-line is in place, bridge as-sembly will begin.
“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,” explained Proulx. “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.”
The river way near the project will be shut down intermittently to boat traffic and monitored by personnel, who will ensure no boats go toward the pedestrian crossing under construction at various times from April 22-May 22 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Mid-summer work will give seniors at Chateau Manor, located nearby the construction site in East Trail, even more to talk about with many compo-nents like the main cable installation, the water and sewer main installation and floor beams scheduled for completion.
Proulx said the seniors living near the site have taken quite an interest in the project, and this led him to delivering a large poster of the completed bridge to the manor so residents can visualize the finished product.
There has been much work off site, he adds, which has resulted in some changes to the original project plans.
Following an in-depth wind study by an Ontario firm that reviewed historical weather patterns and recreated conditions with a small scale model in-side a wind tunnel, the bridge deck was widened from eight feet to 12 to eliminate potential swaying.
Wind fairings, steel flaps that go on the side of the bridge, are further designed to deflect the wind and are stabilized by cables that anchor deep into the ground on both sides. Much of this activity is reserved for construction this fall.
The grading plan, which includes the creation of sidewalks, landscaping, bollards, benches, and turf, is expected to be consistent with the city’s Downtown Revitalization Plan. The preliminary

A LOOK BACK
The Trail Historical Society has kindly shared stories from Trail’s past.
In May 1948, Trail celebrat-ed the 20-year anniversary of the opening of the old Trail Tadanac Hospital which was situated on Victoria Street. But that wasn’t the city’s first medi-cal centre.
To recognize National Hospital Week, which at that time coincided with the birthday of Nurse Florence Nightingale) the Times ran a story by Dr. W. A. Coghlin relating the early history of medical services in Trail.
“Prior to 1910, very little au-thentic history can be learned of medical attention being given in other than a haphaz-ard manner. Rossland was at the tail-end of the gold mining boom that had struck her in the late 1800s. The Sisters’ hos-pital (Mater Misericordia) had been erected during that peri-od and those seriously ill were no doubt taken to Rossland
or put on the stern wheeler that plied on the river from Arrowhead to Northport – and taken to the latter place for treatment.
“The first record of a doc-tor being stationed in Trail was in the early 1900s when Dr. Hayes’ name has been mentioned. Later, Dr. Corsan moved in with his family and has been given the credit of building a combination resi-dence and hospital which with many changes is now known as the Aldridge, the present home of the C.S. Williams Clinic.
“The building was primarily built as a dwelling, the lower story in spite of its winding stairway, was set apart for at-tention of the sick. The build-ing however was primarily in-tended to look after the 500 men who ran the smelter on the hill …
“Across the river was a veri-table No Man’s Land. A single log cabin about the opposite Victoria St. was the only sign of human habitation. Most of
the large timber had been cut down, but there still remained a park-like number of trees. Prior to this a couple of cable ferries had worn themselves out or had broken their cables and had floated southward.
An electric plant had been erected near to the present site of the Columbia Motor ma-chine shop but had a short time previous been shut down, the Smelter had taken on its duties.
The water supply for most of the town came from Gorge Creek, but many had to use water from local springs.”
Dr. Coghlin went on to de-scribe a “thriving colony” at Sayward (Columbia Gardens) irrigated by Beaver Creek with land selling for $500 per acre. Inhabitants requiring medical attention came to Trail. If a doctor was needed at Sayward, Bill Hartley from the Meekin Hotel “strong-armed it in his boat” or a trip was taken down the river road in a conveyance pulled by a single horse “and
not too heavy to prevent it being lifted over obstructing logs by the doctor and the driver.”
Dr. Corsan’s practice and building was taken over by Dr. Paterson who built a brick resi-dence with an adjoining one-story hospital now known as the Park Hotel.
In 1908, Dr. Paterson was relieved of his practice by Dr. Thom who was joined two years later by Dr. Coghlin. (Thom Street in East Trail is named for this doctor.)
As the town was growing, a Dr. Shewan started another hospital in the building that now occupied the Delux gro-cery store (corner of Cedar and Spokane).
In 1922, C.S. Williams clin-ic was formed which was the mainstay of healthcare until the hospital opened in 1926. The $120,000 building was ex-tended in 1931. By 1948, Trail had a population of 15,000 and the clinic increased from four members to 15.

Trail’s first “hospital” was built by Dr. Corsan. The building served as a residence for his family and a clinic for the town’s early pioneers.

design should be final-ized in about a month, but the work isn’t sched-uled until November.
The location up-stream from the Old Trail Bridge was select-ed partly to keep prox-imity to the existing sewer force main and add ease to relocating a new regional sewer in-terceptor line from the closed structure to the new build.
The galvanized sus-pension walking bridge fits well with the city’s future development along the Esplanade.
It also reconnects the
popular walking loop that’s been missed by locals since an inspec-tion revealed significant deterioration of the pilings supporting the 100-year-old structure, leading to its perma-nent closure in 2010. The crossing, which will also house a new re-gional sewer line, would not have been possible
without regional part-nership between Trail, Rossland and Warfield.
Though the foot bridge is reserved for pedestrians and cyclists, the bridge deck will fea-ture removable posts that will open up access to an emergency vehi-cle should the Victoria Street Bridge temporary close to traffic.
The city will pur-chase a quad that will be housed at the regional fire hall, ready to re-spond if necessary.
For Proulx, oversee-ing the nearly $15-mil-lion project has been a perfect way to wrap up his career.
“Suspension bridg-es don’t get built very often; I’m pretty excited
about the whole thing,” he said.
“I’ve been involved in stuff with the city for a long time, and it doesn’t matter what you do there will be people who complain about it through different me-dias,” he added.
“This project, sur-prisingly, there’s been nothing.”

New bridge fits into downtown plan
Much of the money prom-ised in the Liberals’ federal budget is really just window dressing, according Richard Cannings, NDP MP for the South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding.
While he concedes some headway has been made, such as funds earmarked for senior’s affordable housing, the budget made few inroads in helping those living in rural B.C.
He points to the lack of broadband Internet outside larger centres, as an example.
“After promising to invest $500 million right up front for rural broadband services, the budget only gave $6 million,” Cannings told the Trail Times. “The $500 million is there, but it’s back loaded mainly to the fourth and fifth years, after the next election,” he began. “That’s a recurring theme throughout the budget, a lot of these funding programs are over five, some over 10, years and the big part of the money
is to be spent after the next election - and it’s that way with broadband.”
The subject hits home with Cannings because he says many young couples seeking life outside of urban settings are often employed in the high tech industry, so broadband accessibility is key in attracting newcomers to the region.
“My neighbours are a young
couple from the coast who just moved to Penticton,” he said. “He builds apps for smart-phones, and can do that be-cause we do have broadband there. But if he went 20 miles further, he wouldn’t be able to, so this certainly affects the rid-ing and big parts of B.C.”
Overall, the budget repre-sents missed opportunities for the South Okanagan-West Kootenay, Cannings said.
“They didn’t mention any-thing about Canada Post,” he explained. “Right now they’ve put a moratorium on cutting back door-to-door service and as far as I know there hasn’t been cuts in any of the region yet. But still, there is nothing in there than mentions what they are going to do about this in the future.”
Money allocated for health care and for the senior sector in general is also absent, he continued.
“There’s no mention in the budget of additional funds for health care of any sort,” Cannings said. “And no men-tion of homecare in particular,
after promising $3 billion over the next four years to keep se-niors in their homes, instead of institutions.”
He acknowledged a GIS (Guaranteed Income Supplement) increase for single seniors is somewhat beneficial, but maintains $3.4 billion used to feed the pro-gram over five years is a short sighted move.
“Sure if you are a senior liv-ing in poverty, you’ll get (up to) an extra $947 a year, that’s if you qualify,” Cannings said. “We think that’s nice but it’s not going to lift any senior out of poverty.”
Cannings conceded a bump in federal funding for seniors’ affordable housing is welcome news in his constituency, but he also questions its efficacy.
“A group in Slocan, for in-stance, is trying to get a se-nior’s housing project built and hopefully we can access money there, so that’s a good thing,” he said. “But a much bigger pot of money is for afford-able housing (in general) that

Council and staff have been busy with budget prepa-rations and planning for the future.
Our updated Strategic Directions plan was endorsed by Council in February. This plan also charts our progress so far which includes: a new playground for our main community park; significant paving projects; road line painting throughout the Village; improved maintenance of our roads, side-walks parks and cemetery; instal-lation of electric vehicle charging stations; in-house ticketed opera-tion of our water and wastewater systems; infrastructure improve-ments and the commissioning of major planning projects.
Long overdue upgrades to our Village office include the installa-tion of a digital bulletin board in the lobby area saving us printing costs and enabling the Village to highlight current events and cel-ebrate community achievements.
One such achievement is the earning of two gold medals at the 2016 BC Winter Games on February 25-27 in the para-nordic events of 5km and the 400 meter sprint by Salmo Secondary stu-dents Haley Olinyk and Mikayla Richens. Congratulations!
Our recent federal grant of
$75,000 to redo our Official C o m m u n i t y Plan (OCP) and merge it with a s u s t a i n a b i l i t y plan has put the Village on track to ensure our community plan is in compliance with the Local Government Act and reflective of current commu-nity vision and needs. This two year project will involve extensive community consultation.
Several other exciting plans are underway. Through a partner-ship with the Regional District of Central Kootenay, our cemetery will be plotted and mapped online in 2016 for both internal and public use.
The public will be able to search and see images of the cemetery site and headstones online.
This is all part of our effort to improve the maintenance and op-eration of our cemetery and ensure our loved ones have the lasting respect they deserve.
Council’s decision to prioritize “age-friendly” initiatives is mov-ing ahead into the survey stage.
I’d like to acknowledge the work of the Seniors Working Group and staff in wisely allo-cating the $20,000 in grant funds from the Province to identify issues seniors face in Salmo and how to bet-ter support and involve seniors in community-life.
Everyone is encour-aged to complete the survey and are invited
to the Seniors Public Roundtable Forum scheduled for Tuesday, May 17 at 6 p.m. the Salmo Valley Youth and Community Centre.
The forum will include a “dot night” portion where the public will have democratic input into the development of an age-friendly ac-tion plan to be adopted by Village Council.
Fire season is right around the corner and the Village plans to prepare this year by promoting FireSmart principles. The $10,000 grant we received for this purpose will involve public education and the hiring and training of a Local FireSmart Representative to con-duct voluntary home inspections assisting residents in learning what they can do to minimize fire risk at
their home.August 16 to 31 has now been
scheduled for the long anticipated renewal of the 6th Street footbridge installation project. The Village hopes to secure a grant from the Columbia Basin Trust to put a cover, abutments and lighting over the bridge for safety. As with most projects in the Village, this work could not be completed without the hard work and dedication of the Salmo and area volunteers.
Our Chief Administrative Officer has posted numerous sum-mer opportunities including jobs for three full-time summer stu-dents and a WaterSmart ambassa-dor. We look forward to new faces joining the Village team.
Council meetings continue to be well attended and we appreciate the public interest and input. Thank you Salmo.

Belgium may be a boring country, but it still seems extreme for a Belgian politician to say that the
country is now living through its darkest days since the end of the Second World War. Can any country really be so lucky that the worst thing that has hap-pened to it in the past seventy years is a couple of bombs that killed 34 people?
That may sound a bit un-charitable, but respect for the innocent people killed by terrorists does not require us to take leave of our senses. What is happening now is the media feed-ing frenzy that has become almost a statutory require-ment after every terrorist attack in the West.
This is a very stupid way of behaving, but you will notice that I am a part of it. No matter what I say about the bombs in Brussels, the fact that I am writ-ing at length about them in a column that appears all over the world contributes to the delusion that they are not only a nasty event but also an important one.
It is the sheer volume of cov-erage that determines an event’s perceived importance, not what is actually said about it. But if we in the media are compelled to write about an event like the Belgian bombs anyway, what can we truthfully say about it that will not feed the panic?
The first thing, after every ter-rorist attack, is to stress that the media coverage of the attack is its primary purpose – indeed,
almost its only purpose. It’s obvi-ous and it’s trite, but if you don’t actually say it people forget it. Like the health warning on ciga-rette packets, it should be part of every story on terrorism.
Secondly, we have to put the alleged “threat” of such terrorist attacks into perspective. People rarely do this for themselves, be-cause once events are beyond the range of their daily experience
most people can-not distinguish between what is truly danger-ous and what is only dramatic and frightening.
It really does help to remind people that ter-rorism is a statis-tically insignifi-cant risk – that they are in much greater danger of
dying from a fall in the bath than of dying in a terrorist attack – even if that approach conflicts with the journalists’ natural urge to emphasize the importance of whatever they are writing about.
And finally, a little dispassion-ate analysis quickly deflates the notion that terrorism is “an ex-istential threat” (as British prime minister David Cameron once said). For example, the recent terrorist attacks in Europe have been largely confined to French-speaking countries.
Muslim immigrants in France and Belgium mostly come from Arab countries, and especially from North Africa, where French is the second language. Radical Islamism is much weaker in the rest of the Muslim world, so Germany (whose Muslims are mostly Turkish) and Britain
(where they are mostly of South Asian origin) generate fewer Islamist extremists than the francophone countries, and face fewer terrorist attacks.
France’s and Belgium’s Muslim citizens are also less in-tegrated into the wider commu-nity. French housing policy has dumped most of the immigrants in high-rise, low-income devel-opments at the edge of the cit-ies, often beyond the end of the metro lines. Unemployed, poorly educated and culturally isolated, their young men are more easily recruited into extremist groups.
The point of this sort of analy-sis is to cut the problem down to size. There is no terrorist army in Belgium, just a bunch of young men making it up as they go along. For example, the Brussells attacks happened four days after the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, the sole survivor of the gang who carried out the attacks on the Bataclan arena and the Stade de France in Paris last November.
Back in Brussels after failing to use his suicide vest in the Paris attack, Abdeslam was a psycho-logical wreck, and his Islamist colleagues undoubtedly expected that once in police custody he would sing like a canary. So they decided to launch another attack and go to glory before the police kicked in their doors.
Prime Minister Charles Michel issued the usual ritual incantation about Belgians being “determined to defend our free-dom,” but Belgium’s freedom is not at risk. Terrorists are not an existential threat. They are a le-thal nuisance, but no more than a nuisance.

An editorial from the Toronto Star
It helps to work together to confront a grave threat, espe-cially the mounting devasta-tion wrought by dementia. The number of Canadians living with Alzheimer’s disease and other degenerative brain conditions is expected to hit 1.4 million over the next 15 years -- almost the double the number diagnosed in 2011. And this country is far from ready to cope.
That’s why it’s encouraging to see a cross-party effort under-way to establish a comprehensive national strategy for dealing with dementia.
It would set out specific na-tional objectives for address-ing the looming crisis, includ-ing quality of care standards, identification of best medical treatments, attracting research investment, and marshalling co-operation from provinces and other groups to meet this deadly challenge.
In a notable display of welcome bi-partisanship, the national de-mentia strategy is being sought through a private member’s bill introduced by Niagara Falls Conservative MP Rob Nicholson and seconded by Don Valley West Liberal MP Rob Oliphant. Moreover, Nicholson also made a point of acknowledging past ef-forts by former NDP MP Claude Gravelle, of Nickel Belt.
“There is probably no fam-ily in the country that can say it has not in some way been hurt by these particular diseases,” Nicholson said, and that includes his own. His father was stricken by Alzheimer’s before dying in 1997.
“I am, in many ways, no dif-ferent than millions of other Canadians who are either related to or know somebody that has (Alzheimer’s),” Nicholson told the Canadian Press. “This is not a partisan thing.”
For his part, Oliphant said he has long dealt with families
struggling with dementia during his 25 years as a United Church minister.
A national strategy would make life better for the hundreds of thousands of Canadians al-ready living with dementia by setting out improved standards of care and listing clear, evidence-based treatments. By advancing support initiatives, it could also ease the strain on families and other caregivers.
The best way to get there is through a unified approach. Nicholson’s commendable ef-fort warrants all-party support. Private members’ bills rarely be-come law, but this one deserves to be among the exceptions.

is again back loaded and has to be done in partnerships with the provinces and municipalities.”
The new financing model could be an impediment to accessing federal dollars, he clarified.
“To me that sounds like they’ll want private partnerships involved, so that will slow things down and a lot of that money may not be spent if the provinces and municipalities cannot come up with (their share).
So that’s a concern.”The budget failed to hit on
economic disparity entirely, says Cannings, which is another fail for the SOWK riding.
“This was an opportunity to turn that around and I think they missed that opportunity with the tax measures they brought in,” he reiterated.
“The thing about the middle class is that everyone thinks they are part of it. But the tax mea-
sures they say will help middle class really help people more in the $100,000 to $200,000 bracket, and certainly doesn’t help anybody making less than $45,000 a year,” added Cannings. “This isn’t a bud-get that helps the lower income Canadians at all.”
Finally, the MP noted the lack of a break for small business, a sector that employs about 54 per cent of the local working body. (small business employs one mil-
lion people province-wide)“They pledged to go along with
the Conservatives and NDP who wanted to lower the small busi-ness income tax to nine per cent,” he said, clarifying the rate would remain at 10.5 per cent.
“If they really wanted to stim-ulate the economy and get jobs going that would be one of the best ways,” Cannings concluded. “So again, we just think this budget is a missed opportunity.”

The Quinnipiac Bobcats won their first ECAC title on Saturday winning the Whitelaw Cup with a 4-1 win over Harvard.
Despite having one of the top teams in the nation for the last five years, the Bobcats
had never won the title, but thanks to major contributions from Greater Trail players, Quinnipiac was able to pull it off this year.
“We won a Whitelaw Cup, we’re excited about it, we’ve got a great group of guys,” said Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold. “Yeah, we wanted to win this, but if you think about
people saying [the lack of a Whitelaw Cup] is a knock on our program, I think that’s just negativity from the media.”
Tim Clifton, Bo Pieper and K.J. Tiefenwerth sent the Bobcats to a 3-0 lead eight min-utes into the second period, and Michael Garteig stopped 24 shots on the way to the 4-1 victory. Former Trail Smoke
Eater captain Scott Davidson scored into an empty net to ice it, with another Trail product, Travis St. Denis, assisting on the play.
“It’s huge,” said Quinnipiac senior captain Soren Jonzzon. “Our senior class is out of this world right now. The last four years we’ve had some good

The West Kootenay Fishing Report is pro-vided by Kerry Reed at Reel Adventures Sport Fishing Charters in Nelson. Contact him at 505-4963 or at reeladventuresfishing.com.
Spring fishing has been fun. Although, after enjoying a nice month of February weather, we are now paying for it in March.
During the warm spells, we have been spending a lot of time on the rivers already. Some great days catch-ing rainbows on the Columbia, and some fantastic days catch-ing giant bull trout on the Kootenay River. Hoping for some con-sistent weather in the next couple of weeks to allow us to continue our efforts on the rivers.
The weather doesn’t really bother us on the big lake. The heated cabin of our lake boats allows for us to fish in all weather. So we haven’t slowed down. Plenty of tourist traffic at this time of year to keep things going. And our skiers have been en-joying a day to rest their legs and enjoy a day on
the boat.So here are the latest
reports.Kootenay Lake: We
have had some hot and cold days on the lake. The fish are still feeding pretty actively, but only on certain days. Now, if we could figure out what days they are, we would be laughing. We’ve had some days with 10 to 15 fish coming to the boat. And we’ve had some slower days mixed in. The feeding seems to be consistent, as long as the weather is con-sistent. And lately, the weather doesn’t know what to do. So, we’ll just keep putting in our time and enjoy the outings.
Mostly rainbows between two and four pounds have been caught lately, although I did hear a report of a giant rainbow caught at the south end of lake this week. Also lately we have been catching bull trout between two and ten pounds.
The water tempera-ture has warmed a bit, so hopefully the fish will become more ac-tive as we get into our warmer weather. Still, it’s always better than
sitting on he couch.Columbia River:
The river has been producing well for us. Lots of days with 10 to 20 rainbows taking our offering. The water levels have remained very low, which has provided some great seams for fly fishing. If the water stays this low and the weather warms up soon, we will begin to see more and more hatches and the fly fishing should remain amazing.
In some of the deep-
er holes, we have been catching lots of rain-bows on our centrepin gear. Always fun to use this steelhead technique to target our feisty rain-bows. It never gets old watching your bobber go down. Brings back childhood memories of bobber fishing from shore on the small lakes. Only difference is, these fish are big-ger and stronger! Fun times.
Most rainbows lately have been two to four

pounds, but we have managed to hook a few in the five to seven pound range. Still expecting some even big-ger fish in this next month as they begin to feed more and more.
Duncan Lake: My favourite time of year on Duncan is right now. A nice change of scenery from Kootenay, and a nice change in fishing. We have been catching bull trout between five and eight pounds regularly. Healthy looking fish at this time of year.
What are they biting on? Kootenay Lake has been producing fish in the usual ways. Most of our rainbows have been caught on the surface. Bucktail flies, apexes, and small spoons have been the ticket. There hasn’t been one consistent pat-tern of late, but it does seem that anything with pink in it appears to be working. Lucky flies have been No. 203, 207, 210.
We have also been catching a few bull trout down deep. Mostly on
Lyman plugs or flasher/hoochie com-bos. Lucky depths have been 100 to 160 feet.
On the river, we have been catch-ing lots of rainbows on the fly rod. Streamer patterns have been work-ing great. Although there have been a couple magical days when a tiny hatch has brought the fish to the surface.
A few fish have been taken on the dry fly lately. Midges have made for some exciting takes.
Also float fishing or bottom fishing with bait has provided us with some fat fish at this time of year. Looking forward to the next month.
And finally, on Duncan Lake it’s been the usual bull trout gear. For me it’s been Lyman, Lyman, Lyman. But for others it’s been flashers/hoochies, or apexes, or plugs. They seem to be everywhere. You just need to find the right depth.
Hope this helps with your next adventure. Tight lines …

With the victory, Quinnipiac reclaimed the Number-1 rank-ing in the nation from the University of North Dakota who lost to No. 16 Minnesota-Duluth 4-2 in the NCHC semi-final.
In the WCHA tour-nament, Michigan Tech, with Trail native Jake Lucchini and for-mer Smoke Eater Brent Baltus in the line up, lost a close 1-0 match to Ferris State in the semi-final. Ferris State went on to win the WCHA title match 2-1 over Minnesota State.

River fishing heats up
It is official. No play-off caring for most people in the Home of Champions, or
most of Canada for that matter.
The Nitehawks, trust me, gave it their very best shot. It was all they had, and it wasn’t enough against a Kimberley team that is continuing its two-year quest for a championship run.
It is okay to feel disappointment, but people need to remember that the Nitehawks have spoiled us with de-cades of continuous excellence - even this year could be considered a great season. In retrospect it will seem so to almost everybody and would be thought of as a massive accomplish-ment in most other junior B towns.
The thing is, despite that awesome record, the team plays in a mostly empty building for most of the year. So called fans ignore the team for a lot of the season, because, well, it’s doing fine, isn’t it? This at a time when sub-mediocrity at higher levels is rewarded with fan riches year after year.
I saw a man proudly wearing a very expensive Toronto Maple Leaf jacket on his way into the Jann Arden concert (which was excellent, by the way) Tuesday, despite the fact the Leafs are closing on half a century of mediocrity or worse. I often see folks in Vancouver Canucks gear, and fill-ing the stands at Vancouver games,
despite the fact they have not, despite being a bit better most seasons than Toronto, ever won a cham-pionship. As a current side note, they haven’t so much as scored a goal in more than three games.
And yet, when I am able to get out to the valley during the regular KIJHL season I usually encoun-
ter, unless there is a large travelling contingent in support of a local rival, a half empty Hawks’ Nest, despite the fact it takes relatively few to fill the place - and people are not uniformly decked out in Nitehawk gear.
So, I encourage folks who like the Nitehawks, and there are a lot of those around, to make an end- of-season resolution this year. Pick up season tickets, get a sweater, or a pennant, or some such, and plan to attend a few more games in 2016/17, especially during the early season. It will make a difference to the team, on and off the ice. You will enjoy it, too.
And, of course, there can never be too many volunteers in amateur sports.
• One further thought on the con-cert. This was the third we have at-tended in the past few months. The people in charge of the Charles Bailey Theatre are doing a great job. The fa-cility itself is becoming a terrific place to attend and the events are well worth the price requested.

TODAY’S CROSSWORD
LEISURE
Dear Annie: I belong to a large group of friends across several states who get together often to camp and ride motorcycles. Recently, one couple in our group had a terrible accident. The husband was killed and the wife suffered brain damage. “Jane” does not remember the ac-cident and only recalls her husband because she has been told about him. She is not capable of making any major decisions.
Here’s the real tragedy: Jane has two children. Her 21-year-old son is now responsible for all of the decisions, and he is overwhelmed. Fortunately, he seems to be adjust-ing. We can’t say the same for his 17-year-old sister, “Astrid.” Her world has fallen apart.
Right now, the entire show is being run by Jane’s mother-in-law, who never got along with Jane. She plans to sell Jane’s house and move Astrid in with her. She recently took away Astrid’s phone and car as a punishment for not doing her chores, leaving her unable to visit
her mother or stay in touch with us. No one in the family seems able to stand up to this woman. We have no legal stand-ing and are frustrated watching this runaway freight train.
Jane’s family has asked for our advice, but all we can tell them is to get a lawyer and they don’t have the funds for that. I know both sides of the family are grieving, but this is just a mess. Please help. -- Harley Momma from Texas
Dear Texas: This is such a tough time for everyone. Try to keep in mind that, although Jane and her mother-in-law are not close, it doesn’t mean Mom is mistreating her granddaughter. You are getting only one side of the story. Also, while your advice to find an at-torney is good, the family should clarify what for. Does someone want custody of Astrid? Is the grand-mother keeping Astrid from seeing her other relatives? If so, perhaps the entire family can pool their re-
sources or look into Legal Aid. In the meantime, please do your
best to stay close to Astrid, not only through social media and phone calls, but also by be-friending her grand-mother. She lost her son
and now has responsibility for her granddaughter. It would be a kind-ness for you to offer assistance, and it also will be supportive of Astrid.
Dear Annie: This is about “Not a Creepy Guy,” whose soon-to-be daughter-in-law thinks he’s creepy, for no particular reason.
My 30-year-old daughter, with whom I have a wonderful relation-ship, has told me that young women think men in their 50s are creepy just because of their age and gender -- no matter how gentlemanly or polite they may be. She says now that I am entering my 60s, I am leaving behind the “creepy middle-aged” guy demographic and will enter the “kindly grandfather” stage. I am looking forward to it.
Hopefully, this daughter-in-law is looking at a stereotype and has no particular concern. But he is right to talk about it with her. -- Too Old to Be Creepy
Dear Too Old: We have never noticed this particular stereotype and think it is odd and potentially
damaging. But thanks for mention-ing it. We hope the new daughter-in-law will grow up before Dad is too old to care.
Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
