Skatepark design lands on council table for final approval BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Rossland News
The final blessing on the design of Rossland’s new skatepark is now in the hands of City council. Aaron Cosbey of the
Rossland Skatepark Society took the final park design to council chambers Monday night in order to obtain feedback and approval from council on the plan distilled from recent public process.
The 12,000-square-foot allwheel park—to be located on the southeast corner of the Emcon lot on Washington Street—needed final sign off from municipal government in order for the society to pro-
ceed, Cosbey told council. “If we have a final design ... and a budget, we can go to our in-kind suppliers and tell them what we need,” he explained about .

Ian Cunliffe’s heart is heavy. Just like Bill 22, which has put additional stressors on an already stressed public education system, the Lower Mainland primary school-teacher/ librarian has been running to raise awareness about the burdens the bill incurred on B.C.’s teachers. Cunliffe is running the equivalent of 22 marathons in 22 days, traveling 1,100 kilometers on foot across B.C. to protest a decade of provincial cuts to the public education and Bill 22. The former distance runner is raising alarm bells by alerting the municipal officials, parents and teachers about provincial cuts to education. Previously, he has completed several marathons, including one in the Sahara desert to raise money for children in Darfur. But Cunliffe believes that enduring both physical and emotional pain now is a good use of his summer vacation. “When you start walking a couple hundred kilometers at a time, you just don’t know how your body will react from day-to-day,” he explained. “The other day my hips locked up completely, and it took over an hour to unlock them—and other times your legs feel great and other times your digestive tract decides that it no longer likes you, and you feel nauseous for hours. “So it’s a bit of a guessing game.” Sort of like Bill 22. Bill 22 legislated teachers back to work last spring, extending teacher’s pay and benefits for another six months while mediation between the BCTF and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association continued on issues such as class size and special needs support. Bill 22 imposed a net-zero contract and restricted the ability of teachers to negotiate improved learning conditions, said Susan Lambert, president of the BC Teachers’ Federation at the time it was passed, and eliminated their civil and labour rights. The bill also suspended the teachers’ union strike action while calling on the assistance of a mediator.

Rotary exchange program begins search for eligible professionals BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
Young professionals could start big careers in a vibrant new culture. A new Rotary exchange program for professionals aged 25 to 40 is accepting applications for a group exchange in the
mid-western region of Sao Paulo state in Brazil next spring. The Rotary Foundation provides four successful candidates with a round trip flight and local Rotarians in Brazil will act as hosts to provide meals and lodging. But team members are responsible for
paying their personal expenses, including immunizations and visas. During the exchange, participants are encouraged to bridge cultural gaps and promote good-will through person-to-person contact, including sharing customs and lifestyle options.
The program will run between April 20 to May 20. To be eligible for the program, young people should be in the early stages of their career and have two years of full time work experience in their vocation.

Motorcyclist dies in Highway 3A accident near Shoreacres THE CANADIAN PRESS NELSON - A Saskatchewan man on a motorcycle trip through British Columbia was killed in a head-on collision while his son watched helplessly. Castlegar police were called to a report of a crash Tuesday on Highway 3A near the Shoreacres Bridge between Castlegar and Nelson.
Police said the driver of a Ford Explorer attempted to overtake a logging truck near the bridge, lost control and crossed the centreline into the path of two motorcycles. One of the men braked and then put his motorbike on its side. The driver fell off, tumbled and suffered serious injuries.

Debate on hobby farms re-ignited BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Rossland News
The happy road to Happy Valley Road is set to be paved with promise as conversation will be engaged anew on subdividing an eight-acre piece of pastoral property. City council re-opened the Official Community Plan (OCP) zoning amendment debate by discussing whether to allow a property owner on Happy Valley Road to subdivide her eight-acre property. On July 25, 2011 the council of the day voted to allow the owner, Brenda Trenholme, to orchestrate “one or more public consultation(s) in order to receive additional input from the community” on subdividing. Trenholme had first come to council seeking help in her quest to alleviate the very large tax burden she was shouldering—along with other valley owners who have larger plots of land—to maintain her property and the pastoral setting of the area. She noted agriculture in the valley was not working: she could not “give away” use of the land as pasture for grazing animals in the wake of the provincial abattoir law changing regulations regarding local meat production. In fact, many small farms no longer kept animals, she said, and keeping the land for agriculture, as the city bylaw dictated, would hamper her efforts to sell part of it off. Concern was raised last year that approval of the proposal could lead to a number of future applications from other landowners who wanted to subdivide. But discussion of the issue on smaller acreages in the city was needed, said councillor Cary Fisher. Most people support keeping hobby farms in the city, he said, but that sentiment sours when it comes time to pay city tax on sizable properties. “There are some areas outside the city of Rossland to have (hobby farms). Inside the city, we have to start looking at these things to alleviate the burden of the tax people have to pay,” he said. “It’s a good time for us to be looking at that area.” The proposed amendment would designate Trenholme’s property from rural residential under the OCP—and the zoning from rural residential ‘A’—to permit a subdivision on the property. Trenholme sweetened the deal for council. The only road from Rossland that provides access to the City’s cemetery currently crosses her property. She offered to deed that road to the City. Her proposal leaves an existing home on more acreage (three) than normal in the valley, creating a legal five-acre parcel that she wanted to build on that would be in conformance with the bylaw. “That makes sense to me the way it is laid out,” said councillor Jill Spearn. “Her kids have moved on and she wants to stay on the property where she raised her family and lived with her husband. And we could potentially benefit by having that road through to the cemetery.” She said the ideas around agriculture, food production and sustainability in the city was wonderful, but most people did not have the time to get into agriculture within the city. A council motion carried to allow Trenholme to hold public meetings on subdividing her property. No date was set for the next meeting.

Park needs to be more than just a skate park: Cosbey FROM PAGE 1 “The basic process, as we see it, gets started as soon as we get approval on that design.” He estimated the society would be able to secure around $200,000 out of a total budget of $600,000 for the park for in-kind contributions. Some partners have already verbally declared they are on board, Cosbey said. The soci-
ety needed the final approval of council on the design and a budget to close the deals. Cosbey said the society had raised enough money to cover around $25,000 for the design process. The society also asked if council could authorize the City’s planner to work with them on the aspects of landscaping and bordering around the park. It would allow the
facility to fit in with the Official Community Plan for the area. In the coming City budget deliberations, Cosbey requested council’s consideration for budgeting on the approved landscaping and amenities. “This park needs to be more than just a skate park. This is a valuable lot. It’s a diamond, actually, and it’s sitting in the centre of Rossland on a nice
level lot and we want it to be more—we want it to be a public area,” he said. And finally, Cosbey asked council to consider beginning the process of rezoning the lot for placement of the recreation facility (parks and open spaces). Council received the presentation from Cosbey but elected to defer any decision on the park’s design to a future meeting.
Legion pulls newsletter including “joke” on murdering “Indians” BY JORGE BARRERA THE CANADIAN PRESS

Bill 22 sparked teacher to run FROM PAGE 1 The legislation did not impose a new contract. “These three things—no more class size limits, no more ratios for special needs kids and no more guaranteed level of funding feels like the straw that’s breaking the
camel’s back,” he said. “The problem is that it’s not 10 or 15 per cent more work. There’s a certain point where you reach a tipping point where it becomes very difficult to effectively teach and manage in your classroom.” Cunliffe began running from Sparwood
on Aug. 8 and expects to end his journey at the Sea Bus Terminal in Vancouver on Aug. 31. And he’s not alone. The Kootenay Columbia Teacher’s Union has arranged for Cunliffe’s accommodation, meals and vehicle support through a leg of volunteers Aug. 13-15.
CRANBROOK - A branch of the Royal Canadian Legion has pulled its most recent newsletter after publishing a joke about the murder of two “Indians.” The Cranbrook branch printed 40 copies of their August newsletter before pulling the issue and replacing the joke with a “Publisher’s Comment” explaining why the text was removed in an updated version. The explanation did not include an apology. The branch has also been ordered by superiors to stop publishing jokes and cartoons in its newsletter. Shirley Green, 77, said she was outraged when she read the joke on page 5 of the newsletter and immediately contacted branch president Edith LeClair, 63, to express her dismay. “When I phoned the president Edith LeClair, my voice was just shaking, I was so upset to think the legion could put have printed a joke that disrespected and dishonoured thousands of aboriginal soldiers and Metis and Inuit,” Green, who is of Metis and Ktunaxa heritage, told APTN. “I don’t feel that I have gotten a proper response, I don’t think this has been handled properly and I do
hope the branch of the Legion in Cranbrook gets some education on what constitutes racism.” The joke involved two hunters, one from Alberta and one from Saskatchewan, who separately gun down an “Indian.” LeClair said the matter had been dealt with “internally” and that the newsletter’s publisher simply printed a joke someone had sent him. “Obviously people can’t take a joke,” said LeClair. “I am 63 years old and as far as I am concerned a joke is a joke. Mike Landry, the publisher, wrote in the updated newsletter that he was not “racist, sexist or a bigot” and that the joke was pulled after a complaint from one reader. “My great-grandmother on my mother’s side was an American Native Indian born in North Dakota. My grandparents on my dad’s side are French Canadian born in Quebec. His greatgrandfather is of Irish decent and was Cajun,” wrote Landry. “This makes me a bald, native, French, Irish Catholic, nudist Canadian with a warped sense of humour.” Landry wrote that he would no longer publish content that offended readers.

PROVINCIAL Pipeline review panel wants copy of report on Kalamazoo spill THE CANADIAN PRESS
B.C. GOVERNMENT PHOTO
VANCOUVER - The panel reviewing the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline between B.C. and Alberta wants a copy of a scathing report by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board into a massive oil spill in Michigan. The panel asks for a copy of the report in a 20-page request for information from the pipeline proponent, Calgary-based
Enbridge. U.S. investigators likened Enbridge’s response to the July 2010 spill in the Kalamazoo River to a “Keystone Kops� comedy, saying the company missed opportunities to prevent the spill and then bungled the response. The panel also asks Enbridge to show how the preventative measures they propose for the 1,700-kilometre pipeline
across northern B.C. relate to the recommendations set out in the report. Three million litres of crude leaked into the river in Michigan, which only reopened to fishing and swimming in June, two years after the spill. The panel - which has until the end of 2013 to complete its review - is also looking for details from Enbridge on insurance coverage in the event of damage from the pipeline.

Toll to be lowered: minister BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press
As the Port Mann bridge replacement nears completion, Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom says he is “optimistic� that the toll can be lowered below $3 per crossing, at least for the first year. Lekstrom said in an interview this week that his discussions with the corporation set up to build the 10-lane bridge indicate it may be possible to reduce the toll rate by extending the debt repayment period. When the project was announced, a $3 toll was calculated to pay the bridge off over 40 years. Lekstrom said he has heard from many people who consider that toll too high, especially since the bridge will function with only eight lanes for the first year. The old bridge must be taken down before the last two lanes can be connected to Highway 1. So would a toonie get you across during the first year? Lekstrom wouldn’t give specific number until the entire tolling framework is released, which is expected to be in early September. There will be a second round of ministry advertising at that time, to explain the rates and payment options that will take effect when the bridge opens in December. The eastern portion of the South Fraser Perimeter Road will open at the same time, giving drivers a faster route to the Pattullo Bridge as an alternative to the toll bridge. Lekstrom said he expects some people to try that, but soon recognize the time saving of the new Port Mann. Lekstrom said he’s also confident that the promised rapid bus service will be in place from day one.

on the BC Transit board and have more say on changes that affect their local service, a review of BC Transit operations has recommended. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom appointed a review team in March after complaints that the provincially appointed BC Transit board was making costly changes without consulting the communities whose fares and property taxes cover more than half the cost of transit service. Joe Stanhope, chair of the Nanaimo Regional District, was on hand with Lekstrom
to release the report Tuesday. Stanhope said the recommendations of the review team are “exactly what we wanted. “There were some problems, and the basic problems were communications,� he said. Stanhope raised the alarm in 2011 after BC Transit notified local officials of a doubling of management fees, after municipalities had adopted their budgets for the year. Nanaimo also protested a plan to move some of the community’s new buses out and replace them with older ones.

The B.C. government pays 47 per cent of costs for BC Transit service in partnership with 58 local governments in B.C. BC Transit has a target to double its ridership to 100 million passenger trips by 2018. When he ordered the review, Lekstrom ruled out any increase in the provincial share of funding. On Tuesday he declined to comment on specific recommendations until they have been reviewed by local communities and discussed at the annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities conven-
tion this fall. Recommendations include: • a local government advisory panel to consult on system-wide capital expenditures • local governments should share information on long-term transit budget changes, land use and zoning decisions • the province should amend the BC Transit Act to allow multi-year operating agreements • BC Transit should report to municipalities twice a year ridership, cost per capita, passengers per capita and other performance measures.

NATIONAL Group pushes for new logo ban on cigarette packs BY WILLIAM CAMPBELL THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - Anti-smoking groups are urging Ottawa to follow Australia’s lead in barring tobacco companies from displaying their logos on cigarette packs. Australia’s highest court on Wednesday dismissed a challenge from global tobacco manufacturers against the so-called plain packaging law. The law requires cigarette and tobacco products to be sold in uniform olive green packets with large graphic health warnings and a standardized font for the brand name - a restriction opposed by tobacco firms, who unsuccessfully argued the law trampled their intellectual property rights. Canadian health groups and antismoking advocates applauded the ruling, and pointed to the Australian decision
as proof that stricter laws on package design here would withstand a Charter challenge. Rob Cunningham, senior policy analyst with the Canadian Cancer Society, said Australia’s ban, now cleared to take effect Dec. 1, will boost “international momentum� in favour of plain packaging rules currently seen in New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Norway. He said Ottawa should act quickly to outlaw the visual markers which he said make cigarette packages like “mini billboards� carrying messages of status and sophistication that encourage smoking. “The brand and the logos are at the core of tobacco industry marketing. A cigarette is nothing without those intangible images,� Cunningham said. Health Canada was not immediately available for comment on the Australian
Home sales little changed in July; prices down
ruling. The health ministry bolstered rules governing tobacco packaging this June to require 75 per cent of the surface space to display graphic health images, but does not block logos and brands in the remaining space. The move to enlarge images of mouth disease and other smoking-related risks triggered legal action from tobacco manufacturers, who allege the regulation violates their right to communicate with customers. A senior official with Imperial Tobacco Canada, a subsidiary of one of four global tobacco firms that challenged the Australian law, said the legal basis of the ruling is specific to Australia alone. Canada is a member of the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which encourages signatories to pass plainpackaging laws.
WAITING PATIENTLY
BY HUGH MCKENNA THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - Home sales across the country declined marginally last month, continuing a recent trend toward a gradual cooling in what had been a red hot market, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association. Overall, CREA said Wednesday resale housing numbers were down just 0.01 per cent in July compared with June, although non-seasonally adjusted sales were up 3.3 per cent last month compared with July 2011. And though prices were above year-ago levels in about seven of every 10 local markets, falling sales in Greater Vancouver drove the national average lower. The Canadian average price for homes sold in July 2012 was $353,147, down two per cent from the same month last year. Excluding Greater Vancouver from the calculation, the average was up 1.1 per cent from a year ago. Douglas Porter, deputy chief economist at BMO Capital Markets, described the July numbers as a porridge that “Goldilocks would approve.� “While sales activity and prices are no doubt simmering down, they are neither too hot nor too cold -perhaps just right,� Porter wrote in a report. CREA said stable sales combined with fewer new listings kept the national housing market in balanced territory as the number of newly-listed homes on its Multiple Listing Service fell 3.3 per cent from June to July. The latest CREA figures appeared to confirm observations and predictions by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., which on Tuesday forecasted a moderate slowdown in both new-home construction as well as sales of existing homes.

OTTAWA - The leaders of the world’s most important economies left the G20 summit in Mexico this June professing a newfound confidence that Europe would finally take bold action to get its economic house in order. Two months later, the 17-member eurozone’s economy remains anemic, with no end in sight to the continent’s debt crisis. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty is among those lamenting Europe’s lack of action to contain its financial woes. “Not enough has been done,� Flaherty said Wednesday. “They need to do much more.� Some necessary steps have been taken, particularly by the European Central Bank, he said. But the finance minister stressed the need for more action. “We have been clear for several years that not only should the European countries take overwhelming, concerted action to take control of the situation,� Flaherty said, “but also that the European countries themselves have more than adequate resources to do so.� Charting a course for the economy will be on the finance minister’s to-do list when he meets business leaders, academics and other experts over the next two days during his annual summer retreat in Wakefield, Que. Flaherty’s comments about Europe’s lack of action come as Prime Minister Stephen Harper welcomes German Chancellor Angela Merkel to Ottawa. Up for discussion between the two leaders will be the free-trade deal between Canada and the European Union that Harper’s Conservative government hopes to ink before the end of the year. At some point, talk will undoubtedly turn to Europe’s debt crisis. The Conservatives have been adamant that Canada will not contribute to a global bailout package through the International Monetary Fund. Flaherty reiterated that position Wednesday, but he also showed frustration with the Europeans for not taking what he said are clear steps to remedy their economic woes. The solution and the road forward is very clear, he added. “They need to re-capitalize banks and they need to deal with the sovereign debt situation. We’ve known this for several years now, which makes it rather frustrating at the end of the day, quite frankly.� 5)& ,005&/":n4 05& &/":n4 0/-:

T
he old adage “if the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail” was demonstrated once again at the recent Premier’s discussion on health care held in Halifax; they decided to elevate the fixes to, in the words of Prince Edward Island Premier Ghiz, “the Premier level”. Thus, instead of unleashing the innovation potential of those working in the system, the smothering command and control structure is to be moved up yet another level. The conference press release gives the impression that one might soon see a Premier wearing medical whites at your local hospital working on: “reducing complications from foot ulcers, improving clinical guidelines for treating heart disease and diabetes, establishing more team based models, sharing continuous improvement principles, reviewing the appropriateness of certain tests and procedures and improving communication about health human resources and labour markets”. If all of this bureaucratese sounds familiar,
GWYN
MORGAN Health care you’re right. This is the 19th major examination of the Canadian health care system in the past 15 years. Yet, once again, the “nail” each study has continued to hammer is stuck in the paradigm that Canada’s health care system must remain a government run monopoly. That paradigm was starkly enunciated by Health Council of Canada member and former Vancouver General Hospital President Charles Wright who stated: “Administrators maintain waiting lists the way airlines overbook. As for urgent cases, the public system will decide when their pain requires care. The individual cannot decide rationally”. Just days before the
Premiers gathered in Halifax, the B.C. Medical Services Commission moved to stamp out the green shoots of patient care choice by ordering two private Vancouver clinics to stop collecting fees for providing treatment facilities to patients facing waiting lists. In response, Dr. Brian Day, the clinics’ founder; served notice of a lawsuit against the Commission, the B.C. Attorney General and the provincial Health Minister. Supporting Dr. Day’s lawsuit are four patients who received treatment at his clinics after suffering long waits in the public system. One of those patients is 36-year-old Mandy Martens who was told she would have to wait nine months for a colonoscopy after blood was detected in her stool and an ultrasound detected three masses in her liver. After an expedited colonoscopy at Day’s clinic confirmed metastasizing colon cancer, she was finally able to access lifesaving treatment. Dr. Day’s lawsuit is expected to go all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. The facts are
essentially the same as Quebec’s 2005 landmark case in which the Court held that patient Jacques Chaoulli’s rights were violated when he was prevented from seeking timely treatment. In their decision, the judges wrote: “The evidence shows that delays in the public health care system are widespread and patients die as a result of waiting lists for public health care.” Studies by the Fraser Institute and the Macdonald Laurier Institute found, respectively, that the average wait time to see a specialist in Canada was over four months and that our country ranked 26th out of 34 OECD countries in access to a doctor. And contrary to popular belief, the problem isn’t a lack of doctors. The surgeon who treated Mandy Martins at Dr. Day’s clinic couldn’t accept more patients within the public system because his hospital operating room time was limited to only a few hours per week. Moreover, every patient treated at private clinics frees up a place for someone on the public system
waiting list and aids overstretched hospital budgets. But why must Dr. Day resort to the courts in order to give patients the same freedom of choice rights that exist in virtually every other country? Do the Premiers’ actually believe that Canadians should be forced by law to accept that “the system will decide when their pain requires care”? Or is it that they think Canadians aren’t ready for what some call “two-tier health care”? If so, they should take heed of a recent Ipsos Reid survey that shows 76 per cent of Canadians support a “mixed model” of health care giving them the option of spending their own money for private care. It’s time that politicians caught up with the people on this issue. A good start would be to get rid of the B.C. Medical Services Commission, save the taxpayer money that would be wasted fighting Day’s court case, and take freedom of choice to the people in the next election.

Women looking for low cal, light beer as 80 per cent of beer sold to men: study BY LUANN LASALLE THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL - It’s been mostly a man’s world when it comes to beer. Women are a big, untapped market for North American beer brewers as they face more competition from wine and spirits and specialty craft brewers, says a Bank of Montreal report . “At this juncture, 80 per cent of beer sales are sold to guys,” said David Rinneard, national manager of agriculture at BMO (TSX:BMO). What women want is low calorie, lighter flavoured beer and beer-based beverages, he said Wednesday from Toronto. Brewers will appeal to female sensibilities with these niche products along with commercials and marketing targeted at women, he said. “They’re making a diligent effort and attempt to go after that new market.” Calories also are “unquestion-
ably” a factor in getting women to drink more beer, Rinneard said, adding men can also be calorie conscious. Traditionally, women weren’t pursued by brewers because they didn’t need the market with the “prosperous” and defined market of male beer drinkers, Rinneard said. Beer for women is starting to make some inroads. “Chick Beer” is an American craft-brewed beer specifically aimed at women and boasts just 97 calories, 3.5 carbs per bottle and 4.2 per cent alcohol. For the calorie conscious, there’s Molson Ultra with 2.5 grams of carbohydrates, 97 calories and 4.5 per cent alcohol. As wine and spirits affect beer consumption and the population ages, brewers have to look for other growth opportunities, Rinneard said. “In essence, they’re competing for a defined or limited amount of stomach space, if you can call it that.”
There are also beer-based beverages with tomato juice and other flavours. Budweiser has introduced a Bud Light Lime Mojito, while Molson-Coors is tapping into the market with a Coors Light Iced Tea. Rinneard noted that in recent years that “everything from lime to pumpkin” has been added to beer to move away from a traditional core lager offering and offering a specialized product. Per capita consumption of beer remains flat in Canada and has fallen in the United States, the bank’s study said. Rinneard said brewers can also appeal to an aging population, which considers itself to have a more “discerning” palate, with niche beer beverages. Some European brewers have already targeted older beer drinks, he said. But there are other challenges for the North American brewing industry, as prices for barley, wheat and hops have been going up, Rinneard said.
Some still disbelieve climate change happening: survey BY JENNIFER GRAHAM THE CANADIAN PRESS
REGINA - Only two per cent of Canadians who responded to a new opinion poll believed climate change is not occurring. A further nine per cent believed climate change is occurring naturally and 54 per cent felt both humans and Mother Nature are playing a role. The findings are in a survey by Insightrix Research for IPAC-CO2 Research Inc., a Universityof-Regina-based centre that studies carbon capture and storage. Centre chief executive Carmen Dybwad said the results released Wednesday show Canadians overwhelmingly believe climate change is real. “When you say that 98 per cent of people believe this, I mean the kind of frivolous answer would be like two per cent still believe that there are little green spacemen around. I mean two per cent believing that climate change isn’t occurring is pretty significant,” said Dybwad. “No, you’re never going to have 100 per cent ever.” The online poll of 1,550 respondents was done between May 29 and June 11. There were five options given to the question: “Where do you stand on the issue of climate change?” Respondents were asked to choose whether climate change is occurring partially due to human activity and partially due to natural climate variation; climate change is occurring due to human activity; climate change is occurring due to natural climate variation; climate change is not occurring at all; or not sure. Nine per cent believed climate change is occurring due to natural climate variations. Almost one-third - 32 per cent - of respondents said they believed climate change is happening because of human activity. More than half of those who responded - 54 per cent - said they believed it’s a combination of both. Two per cent said they didn’t believe climate change is occurring at all. Four per cent were not sure. “It’s reassuring that the number is so low,” said Prof. John Smol, a global warming expert at Queen’s University. “Certainly the science has been in for a long
time, so it’s a little discouraging how slowly the science seems to have been translated into public policy and public opinion. But at least we’re going in the right direction.” The survey also noted that opinions about the cause of climate change were divided by region. It said Prairie respondents were least likely to think that climate change is occurring due to human activity. The survey found 21 per cent of those in Alberta and Saskatchewan believed climate change is occurring due to human activity, while the number jumped to 44 per cent in Quebec. Dybwad suggested those beliefs might be dictated by a province’s economic base. “When you take a look at the provinces who are most fossil fuel-based, in terms of either they produce it or they use it to generate electricity, you find that the number is lower. When you go to regions that are more hydro-based ... you find a different opinion,” she said. “It’s interesting to discover or to suppose that’s what drives it, but that seems to be the trend.” Smol, who has been studying climate change for more than 30 years, said the science is clear that human activity is a very significant factor. “I work in the Arctic. It’s changing far faster than even I had thought it would. I was saying that it’s going to change fast, but it’s changing faster,” Smol said in phone interview from Kingston, Ont. “There’s enough data out there that shows it’s a tremendous issue and it’s one that nature is slow to pardon our mistake.” Unlike traditional telephone polling, in which respondents are randomly selected, the Insightrix survey was conducted online among the 1,550 respondents, all of whom were chosen from a larger pool of people who agreed to participate in ongoing research. They were compensated for participating. The survey set quotas by age, gender, region and education to try to match the general population. The polling industry’s professional body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population.

PEOPLE OBITUARIES MORRISON (NEE SHARETTA), ALBA — March 20 1911 - June 11 2012 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother Alba Morrison. Alba passed away peacefully with her family at her side in Surrey, BC on June 11, 2012, at the age of 101 years. Alba was predeceased by her husband Murdo in 1997, her parents and three brothers, Victor, Thomas, and Ciro and her sister Mary Kozak of Kimberley, BC. She is survived by her son Neale and daughter Brenda Tracy, grandson Michael Morrison, and great grandchildren Jordan, Ava and Joshua of Surrey, BC. Alba was born in Italy in 1911 in the village of Sant’ Apollinare, San Vito Chietino, Province of Chieti, Abbruzzo. She immigrated to Canada - Kimberley, BC, with her parents in 1917. She married her husband Murdo in Kimberley, and they eventually moved to Trail, BC, where they were long time residents. Alba will be fondly remembered for her kind heart, and love and compassion for others. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on August 20, 2012 at Sacred Heart Catholic Parish, 502 Church Avenue, Kimberley, BC V1A 2L3 with Father John Kellogg, Celebrant. *** ANDREWS, MARY HELEN — It is with a great sense of loss and sadness that the family of Mary Helen Andrews announces her passing on August 4, 2012 in Trail, B.C. She was born in Estevan, Saskatchewan on September 21, 1917. Mom, as she was known to at least two generations, was predeceased by Garnet, her husband of 63 years; her sisters Elsie Robinson, Ruth Smith; and her two brothers, Arnold and Oscar Kolke. She is survived by her sisters, Elma Suran and Alice Campbell; her children Percy (JoAnne), Terry (Barb), Mark (Gale), Sharon Magee (Vern) ; goddaughter Gwen Hubscher (Bernie); grandchildren Danny, Sandy, David, Derek, Dustin, and Christine; many great grandchildren and nieces and nephews. Mom and Dad were instrumental in helping many young people through Foster Care. There were over fifty children and young adults who lived in the house for periods of time. They changed these lives for the better. She was Mom to them all. Freshly baked bread, buns, and cookies were a wonderful welcome to Mom’s. She loved to make everyone at home. She loved to knit, crochet, and sew for her family and friends. She also loved to do crafts. The Lutheran Church was important to her, and she sewed blankets, made crafts and helped with fundraising teas and bake sales for the Church. To Dad’s dismay, she often came home with as much as she took, all of which she shared with her family. Mom enjoyed talking to her sisters and friends on the phone as she aged. Once you got her started talking she did not want to stop. She liked the company of others. Mom’s only vice was scratch tickets. They became the perfect gift for her. She will be missed by not only the immediate family but also the Foster children and friends she made along her life’s path. A memorial service will be held at Peace/Trinity Lutheran Church 2001-2nd Avenue, Trail on Saturday, August 18, 2012 at 11 A.M. with Pastor Ron Abresch, Celebrant. Jordan Wren of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca
Now-sober singer Daniel Powter over his bad days with ‘Turn the Lights On’ BY VICTORIA AHEARN THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - He had a bad day. Many of them, actually. But British Columbia-bred troubadour Daniel Powter, whose 2006 Grammy-nominated hit single “Bad Day” became a global hard-knocks anthem, has turned his life around and is singing a more positive tune with the newly released album “Turn the Lights On.” The pop-rock singer-songwriter says the title of the sunny new disc reflects a brightness that’s permeated his life since he kicked a drug and alcohol addiction, went through a divorce, got engaged to his former personal trainer, and had a second child. Now two years sober, he says he feels like a different person than he was when “Bad Day” was the Billboard Top Hot 100 song of 2006, as well as the theme song for a Coca-Cola ad and “American Idol”’s fifth season. “A lot of people will say that they got sober for other people, but I got sober for myself,” a chiseled and tanned Powter, who counts surfing and yoga among his hobbies, said in an interview. “I was so sick of myself, the redundancy of my life, and my patterns were so predictable. If I put a graph of my behaviour I could see: Things are tough, resentment, resentment, OK, I’m getting angry, I’m angry, I’m angry - use. “You could just see it all the time, and when ... I wanted to really change my life, I had to learn how to have a more positive way of dealing with resentment and anger and things like that. And once I learned how to do that, then everything started turning around for me.” Powter admitted he was “in a really dark place” before he got sober. “I was on the fast track to kind of going down the wrong road and just ending up dead, which I would have, eventually, if I’d continued the way I was.” A lot of the anger that was fuelling his addiction stemmed from trauma in his childhood in Vernon, B.C., but he’s since learned how to deal with it, he said. He’s also had to learn how to write songs “from a different place,” which wasn’t easy. “I always wrote from a lot of pain. Even the ‘Bad Day’ record, it was easy for me to galvanize a lot of energy when you have a lot of pain in your life, and so I would just bash away. But then all of a sudden, I’m really at peace, I’m really humbled and I’m really grateful in my life - ‘Now, go write a song!’ It’s just like, they come out awful!” said Powter, 41, laughing. “You’re just writing crap the whole time. It was just like, ‘I’m a little tea-

Literally, my songs started to sound like that, so I had to kind of take almost two years to find the ... right direction of music and actually write good songs again.” Another struggle for the Juno Award winner was getting over his issues with “Bad Day.” The catchy tune is from Powter’s second self-titled album, and though he’s had another record out since (2008’s “Under the Radar”), he’s never struck music gold like he did with “Bad Day.” And he felt like it was defining him. “It wasn’t that I don’t like playing it, it was more like, that’s all I was playing,” he said. “I was always playing ‘Bad Day.’ It was like, a TV show: ‘Bad Day,’ go over here: play ‘Bad Day,’ and then I had such a hard time trying to break another song around ‘Bad Day’ because it was so big.” Eventually Powter realized: “It’s something that’s never going to go away but it doesn’t have the power that it used to have. “I used to think it had a lot of power over me so I decided that taking the time away would be a really healthy thing for me to do, and that way I could turn back and re-approach my career without fearing ‘Bad Day’ or without fearing the success of ‘Bad
Day’ anymore, and I think that’s what’s happened again. I feel great. “I’m bigger than ‘Bad Day’ now,” he continued with a laugh, noting he feels the tune belongs to the world now and not him. “‘Bad Day, Shmad Day,’ I’m me now - Daniel Powter is much bigger than ‘Bad Day.”’ Powter composed many of the tunes from his new album on the piano in his Los Angeles home, where he lives with his fiancee and his two children, nine-year-old Sophie from his previous marriage and nearly sixmonth-old Billie. He wasn’t sure if he was ready to hit the recording studio until he met renowned producer Howard Benson, who helped him craft the album. The first single is “Cupid,” on which Powter croons about love. The album also has a dance track, “Crazy All My Life,” on which Powter admits he’s “tired of trying to fake it.” It’s the most honest he’s ever been on an album, but he can handle being vulnerable now because he doesn’t get hurt like he used to, he said. “Somebody told me a long time ago, I love this, I keep this in my mind: ‘I just do the work and I stay out of the results,’ and that has been my saving grace, I swear.”

Soccer academy programs deepen knowledge of the beautiful game BY BOB HALL Black Press
Youth soccer players across the Kootenay will have an opportunity to take their game to the next level fostered through a partnership between the Vancouver Whitecaps and Nelson’s Soccer Quest. At the end of the
month the Whitecaps FC Academy will kick off with two evaluation camps to be held in Cranbrook on August 21 and 22 and Nelson on August 28 and 29. “We have recognized that over the past few years that it is very difficult for certain regions to get
exposure,” said Dan Lenarduzzi, director of youth development for the Whitecaps. “The academy programs are meant to give players that are already with clubs supplemental training, but also for us to identify players in hopes of moving them up to our more profes-

sionalized programs.” The academy will include four age groups for both girls and boys: U11/12, U13/14, U15/16 and U17/18. Its reach extends to both the East and West Kootenay, plus the Boundary. The program runs for seven months starting in September and ending in April (there is a two month winter break in December and January). The training includes eight weekends at Nelson’s Soccer Quest indoor facility. Four travel events per age group will also be part of the academy. Soccer Quest set up its indoor facility in Nelson five years ago. Two years ago Spendlove started both a boys and girls regional program for 16 to 18 year old players. Those teams travelled to high performance tournaments throughout Western Canada and the Pacific
Northwest. The program resulted in 11 post-secondary scholarship offers. The partnership with the Whitecaps is an extension of the work started by Soccer Quest’s Dave Spendlove. This will be the second academy set up outside the Lower Mainland, the first being in Vernon. “The Whitecaps are wanting to extend their brand and their development across Canada,” said Lenarduzzi. “To do that we are looking at setting up academy centres in different locations.” The Whitecaps feel the academy route is an opportunity try and even the pitch for young players living in rural BC. “There are great places to live all over BC and all over Canada,” said Lenarduzzi. “Unfortunately, sometimes where people live is a bit of a problem because they are not

close enough to some of the larger opportunities. That is the case with our club for sure because obviously a lot of our activities are out of Vancouver. It’s a real good opportunity for us to reach more kids in areas that don’t normally get exposure.” The academy will include monthly coaching visits from Whitecaps staff, led by Whitecaps Okanagan regional head coach David Broadhurst. It will also include Soccer Quest coaches working with approved Whitecaps academy curriculum. Some of that curriculum includes technical development, strength training, nutrition and sport psychology. Starting the academy at a younger age is also an opportunity to immerse players into a soccer culture sooner. “In other countries they start even younger with high performance programs,” said Lenarduzzi. “We feel that if we are going to make a difference in the game we need to start getting kids into these environments sooner. “It’s about growing the base and starting that pyramid a little bit earlier.” Both Lenarduzzi and Spendlove stress that the academy is a regional program. The hope is to gather together the best play-
ers from Invermere to Grand Forks. Both men realize this will take a commitment on behalf of families. “You have to pick a centre for everybody to get to,” said Lenarduzzi. “We can’t get to all those locations, so we have to pick a place and put the programming there. There is not many ways around it when you have the geography we have in BC.” Each age level will take 16 players for both male and female. And though the academy is looking for the best, they want to see as many hopefuls at the camps later this month. “Rather than saying elite, we are looking for the really motivated players,” said Lenarduzzi. “We want players who want to get to the next level. If you really want to get better and you have the physical ability, then we want to have those kids in the program. I think we can make those players better.” Registration for the evaluation camps can only be done online at whitecapsfc.com/kootenay.

West Kootenay
Fishing Report The West Kootenay Fishing Report is a monthly supplement that encourages the exchange of information for local and visiting anglers. Email sports@trailtimes.ca to share a tip or a pic. August is commonly referred to as the summer doldrums as area lakes heat up, forcing fish down to the cooler depths. A fisherman will probably catch heat stroke before a trout, for attracting them to a fly, lure, or even a bobber and worm -save for an hour or two in the morning and evenings- can be difficult. Thankfully, the Kootenay region is rife with rivers and streams loaded with trout, none better than the Columbia River or prettier than the Salmo. For the most part, the Columbia missed caddisfly hatches in July due to the high water, but the bugs and fish have responded to the same here in August. The caddis hatch is in full swing right now on the Columbia and it seems the fish are bigger and a lot more aggressive.
JIM BAILEY PHOTO
A healthy rainbow trout hooked on a caddisfly pattern in the Columbia River last week. The river saw small spotty hatches thru July, but the really big hatch is finally here. If you had the chance to get out on the river you will know what I mean. Stay until dark and experience millions of bugs popping all over the water as clouds of them surround you, crawling on your body as you fish. The fish become transfixed on eating as many of these critters as they can in the short time the hatch happens. Feeding on the surface, boldly showing where they are, and their feeding pattern. This is a fly fisher’s dream, big fish feeding in a recognizable pattern on the surface. All you have to do is put the fly in front of them and wait for the take. If you use too big a tippet size you might be refused, if too small tippet size, its goodbye to your fly. I like 5X during the light of day then move on to a bigger tippet size 4X into the dark. Yes, I donate a couple flies every night to the big guys until I change to 4x tippet. An important issue is leader length. I like to use 12- to 15-foot leaders to eliminate ‘drag’. Drag occurs when the current takes the line and drags the fly through the water like a motorboat, not at all
like a natural drifting insect. There are hundreds of caddis patterns tied to mimic the real fly and I like to tie a different one every week to see if the fish are really paying attention in school. Do enjoy this weeks special. Rod’s fly of the week is “Red Rib UV Caddis” fished dry, just the way the fish like them. Red Rib UV Caddis Hook- 94840 mustad Size - 12-14 Threadbrown UTC 70 Body- brown or wine unistretch Rib - red crystal flash, one strand Under wing- UV pearl angel hair Under wing- brown cdc fibres, 5 or 6 strands Wing-medium-dark coastal deer hair Head - A wrap grey ostrich herl The Fly-of-the-Week is provided by Rod Zavaduk, Castlegar Sports & Fly Shop. Salmo River The Salmo River fishing has been good if not great as far as numbers go, and there’s nothing more refreshing than standing in the cool, clear waters of the Salmo on a hot summer day. Notice the dried husks of stoneflies and mayflies clinging to riparian rocks indicating that a nymph pattern drifted under a strike indicator with a bead head or split shot is deadly. Turn over a few rocks and you’ll likely find a few live golden stoneflies and some cased caddis – an amazing instance of adaptation, where caddis larvae build a casing surrounding itself with tiny rocks or twigs making an elaborate house for protection and camouflage Caddis cases before emerging into the pupa form. On the other hand, dry flies work all day long so why throw anything else. A humpy pattern or Adams irresistible were my go-to flies on the weekend, as I caught and released numerous rainbows, lots of small guys, but the biggest one pushed about 16-inches. Hopper patterns are also notoriously good this time of year, float a fly near pocket water or by large boulders, through riffles and runs. Look for shaded slack water, next to fast water and there’s sure to be a trout holding in there.

Local soccer players will have the opportunity to take their game up a notch, as the Vancouver Whitecaps Football Club brings its soccer academy to the Kootenays.

Whitecaps camps set to kick off Kootenay youth get boost from soccer academy BY BOB HALL The Nelson Star
Youth soccer players across the Kootenays will have an opportunity to take their game to the next level thanks to a partnership between the Vancouver Whitecaps and Soccer Quest in Nelson. At the end of the month the Whitecaps FC Academy will kick off with two evaluation camps held in Cranbrook on August 21 and 22 and Nelson on August 28 and 29. “We have recognized over the past few years that it is very difficult for certain regions to get exposure,” said Dan Lenarduzzi, director of youth development for the Whitecaps. “The academy programs are meant to give players that are already with clubs supplemental training, but also for us to identify players in hopes of moving them up to our more professionalized programs.” The academy will include four age groups for both girls and boys: U11/12, U13/14, U15/16 and U17/18. Its reach extends to both the East and West Kootenay, plus the Boundary.
The program runs for seven months starting in September and ending in April (there is a two month winter break in December and January). The training includes eight weekends at Nelson’s Soccer Quest indoor facility. Four travel events per age group will also be part of the academy. “It’s a major move for Soccer Quest and for the Kootenays,” said Soccer Quest’s Dave Spendlove. Soccer Quest set up its indoor facility in Nelson five years ago. Two years ago Spendlove started both a boys and girls regional program for 16 to 18 year old players. Those teams travelled to high performance tournaments throughout Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. The program resulted in 11 postsecondary scholarship offers. The partnership with the Whitecaps is an extension of the work started by Spendlove. This will be the second academy set up outside the Lower Mainland, the first being in Vernon. “The Whitecaps are wanting to extend their brand and their development across Canada,” said Lenarduzzi.
“To do that we are looking at setting up academy centres in different locations.” The Whitecaps feel the academy route is an opportunity try and even the pitch for young players living in rural BC. “There are great places to live all over BC and all over Canada,” said Lenarduzzi. “Unfortunately, sometimes where people live is a bit of a problem because they are not close enough to some of the larger opportunities. That is the case with our club for sure because obviously a lot of our activities are out of Vancouver. It’s a real good opportunity for us to reach more kids in areas that don’t normally get exposure.” The academy will include monthly coaching visits from Whitecaps staff, led by Whitecaps Okanagan regional head coach David Broadhurst. It will also include Soccer Quest coaches working with approved Whitecaps academy curriculum. Some of that curriculum includes technical development, strength training, nutrition and sport psychology. Starting the academy at a younger age is also an opportunity to immerse players into a
soccer culture sooner. “In other countries they start even younger with high performance programs,” said Lenarduzzi. “We feel that if we are going to make a difference in the game we need to start getting kids into these environments sooner. “Of course at those ages you have to make it fun and something they want to be going to, but if you can identify kids of like-mindedness together earlier then I think you have a better chance of developing that player to a higher level. It’s about growing the base and starting that pyramid a little bit earlier.” Both Lenarduzzi and Spendlove stress that the academy is a regional program. The hope is to gather together the best players from Invermere to Grand Forks. Both men realize this will take a commitment on behalf of families. “You have to pick a centre for everybody to get to,” said Lenarduzzi. “We can’t get to all those locations, so we have to pick a place and put the programming there. There is not many ways around it when you have the geography we have in BC.”

SPORTS TRAIL BOCCE TEAM RULES IN NELSON
BASEBALL
Giant suspension for Melky THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera has been suspended for 50 games without pay after testing positive for testosterone. The commissioner’s office said Wednesday the suspension is effective immediately. Major League Baseball said Cabrera tested positive for the banned performance-enhancing substance, which violates MLB’s joint drug prevention and treatment program. “My positive test was the result of my use of a substance I should not have used,” Cabrera said in a statement released by the players’ union. “I accept my suspension under the Joint Drug Program and I will try to move on with my life. I am deeply sorry for my mistake and I apologize to my teammates, to the San Francisco Giants organ-
ization and to the fans for letting them down.” The MVP of the All-Star game last month in Kansas City, Cabrera is batting .346 with 11 home runs and 60 RBIs in his first season with San Francisco. He was initially in the lineup for the series finale against the Washington Nationals playing left field and batting third. “We were extremely disappointed to learn of the suspension of Melky Cabrera for violating Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention & Treatment Program,” the Giants said shortly before game time. “We fully support Major League Baseball’s policy and its efforts to eliminate performance enhancing drugs from our game. Per the protocol outline by Major League Baseball’s collective bargaining agreement, the Giants will not comment further on this matter.”
The 28-year-old Cabrera , who became a marketing phenomenon with nicknames like “Got Melk?”, Melk Man and Melky Way, produced a 51-hit month in May. Cabrera batted .429 in May with three homers, five triples, seven doubles and 17 RBIs. He hit safely in 25 of 29 games. The 51 hits matched Randy Winn for most hits in a month since the club came to San Francisco in 1958. Cabrera also set the San Francisco record for most hits in May, passing Hall of Famer Willie Mays’ 49 from 1958. Cabrera came to the Giants in a trade with Kansas City last November that sent left-hander Jonathan Sanchez to the Royals. Cabrera - who signed a $6 million, one-year deal to avoid salary arbitration - batted .305 with 44 doubles, 18 homers and 87 RBIs last season.

Trail Bocce players proved they were in a class by themselves earlier this month as the Nelson Italian Canadian Society held its annual bocce tournament. In the A Division first place went to Jim Maluta and Joe Szabo of Trail, while second place also went to a Trail team of Giuseppe Bertuzzi and Sergio Freschi. Third place was claimed by Domenico Cerone and Cosimo Chirico of Nelson. Moris Peron and Alfonso Bertoia of Cranbrook took the B Division crown, followed by Joe Sacino and Lugi Butti also from Cranbrook, and Nick Murrano and Joe Guercio of Trail.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FROM PAGE 11 Each age level will take 16 players for both male and female. And though the academy is looking for the best, they want to see as many hopefuls at the camps later this month. “Rather than saying elite, we are looking for the really motivated players,” said Lenarduzzi. “We want players who want to get to the next level. If you really want to get
better and you have the physical ability, then we want to have those kids in the program. I think we can make those players better.” Registration for the evaluation camps can only be done online at whitecapsfc.com/ kootenay. For more information call Soccer Quest at 250-352-4625 (coach@soccerquest. ca) or the Whitecaps at 778-330-1354 (mbuchi@whitecapsfc. com).
SEATTLE - Felix Hernandez pitched the Seattle Mariners’ first perfect game and the 23rd in baseball history, overpowering the Tampa Bay Rays in a brilliant 1-0 victory FELIX HERNANDEZ Wednesday. The Mariners’ ace and former AL Cy Young Award winner has long talked of his desire to achieve pitching perfection. He finally accomplished it against the Rays, striking out the side twice and finishing with 12 strikeouts. It was the third perfect game in baseball this season, joining gems by Chicago’s Philip Humber against the Mariners in April and San Francisco’s Matt Cain against Houston in June.

U.S. OPEN TENNIS
Nadal withdraws Tendinitis takes out tennis star THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Rafael Nadal’s Grand Slam count will stay stuck at 11 for now, sidetracked by another knee problem. The third-ranked Spaniard withdrew from the U.S. Open on Wednesday. Tendinitis has kept him out of action since his stunning loss at Wimbledon in late June. The injury already forced him out of the London Olympics, where he was supposed to defend his title and carry Spain’s flag in the opening ceremony. “I am very sad to announce that I am not ready to play the US Open in NY. Thanks to my fans for their support and specially, the new yorkers,” Nadal wrote on his Twitter account. Nadal is still only 26, but the withdrawals raise questions about the
future of a player who has had recurring knee problems in the past. His 11 Grand Slam titles include a record seven on the red clay of the French Open, yet his hard-charging, hard-hitting style of play takes a toll on his body, particularly his knees. Roger Federer, in contrast, has played in every Grand Slam tournament since the start of 2000, a streak of 51 in a row. In 2009, Nadal missed Wimbledon because of aching knees shortly after falling in the round of 16 at the French Open - the only time in eight appearances he hasn’t won at Roland Garros. He was just the second men’s champion in 35 years to decline to defend his title at the All England Club. Nadal lost in the U.S. Open final to Novak Djokovic last year, part of a stretch of three straight defeats to the Serb in championship matches at majors.

Tell child about her real father in therapy Dear Annie: Many years ago, my husband, “Sam,” and I divorced. I started seeing someone else and became pregnant. That man left me, saying he didn’t want more children. Sam and I began dating again, and he said we could remarry if his name went on the baby’s birth certificate. The biological father didn’t care, so I agreed. Three months after the baby was born, Sam and I married again. That was 13 years ago. The problem is, sometimes Sam and I will argue, and he’ll say, “Just take your daughter and get out,” and other hurtful things indicating he’s not her real father and so there’s nothing to tie us together. I’m worried that our daughter will find out about her parentage and be hurt. Should we tell her about her biological father? I know her bio dad recently got out of prison after a year’s sentence for child molestation. I don’t

know where he’s living, but I don’t really want him around my daughter. Any suggestions? -- Living a Lie Dear Living: The biological father no longer has any claim on your daughter. He gave up his rights. Your daughter is old enough to know about her background, although due to the particular circumstances, we suggest you first discuss it with a therapist who specializes in such issues. It would help to bring Sam into the sessions, as well, because his comments are not only reprehensible, but could cause all kinds of repercussions in his relationship with his
daughter. He may be too angry with you during these arguments to fully realize how much he can hurt this child. Dear Annie: Two of our closest friends are getting a divorce. We are godparents to their adorable and sweet 9-year-old child. This couple wants to cause as little disruption as possible to their child’s home environment. They plan to rent a nearby house, and the parents will swap living there so the child gets to stay in the original home. Annie, I’m sure they’re not the first to think of this arrangement, even though it’s new to us. As disruptive as a divorce is, would this add a sense of security for the child as opposed to sending her off to the estranged parent’s house for a short period of time as is commonly done? -- Puzzled in Florida Dear Puzzled: Quite a few parents have this arrangement, whereby
the children stay in the home while the parents trade a rental space, or in some cases, both parents have their own place. While children are resilient and can adjust to almost any living situation, we suspect it is easier if they don’t have to pack up every weekend. It also lessens the stigma for the non-custodial parent whose residence is “Dad’s place” or “Mom’s house” but not “home.” Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Washington,” who said her feelings for her husband are completely gone. Many Catholic dioceses have weekend programs for married couples, and other denominations may have similar programs. Our diocese offers Marriage Encounter to help a couple rediscover the spark. The program is for those whose marriage is basically OK but could be better. The other program is Retrouvaille, a French
word meaning “rediscovery.” It helps heal problems in a troubled marriage by reopening communication and providing tools that can make a difference. It’s for those who feel lost, alone or bored, or are constantly fighting,
arguing or thinking about separating. In neither case does the couple have to be Catholic, although they should be married. -Father B. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy

LEISURE
YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Friday, Aug. 17, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today might be the best day of the year to ask yourself if you have enough play time in your life. It’s important to express your creative side, because you’re an impulsive romantic. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today is the best time all year to ask yourself what you can do to improve your home and also your family relationships. These are important areas for you. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Examine your daily surroundings and your relationships with daily contacts. What is your communication like with the people you meet day to day? Think about this today. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Think about your earnings, cash flow and assets. You want to feel secure,
especially with home and family. Do you feel secure? LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The only New Moon in your sign all year is taking place today. Therefore, ask yourself what you can do to improve your relationships with those who are closest to you. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a good day for introspection and self-reflection. Ask yourself, “What really matters in life?” You don’t want to be 89 years old saying, “I blew it.” LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You need others in your life, because you are a social sign. You like to socialize with others. Today is a good time to recognize who you value. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today’s New Moon is the perfect opportunity for you to think about where you
are headed in life. Are you going in the direction you want? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) What further education or travel would improve your job skills or enrich your life? Think about what would benefit you today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You value your reputation, which is one reason why it’s important for you
to clean up your debt situation and tidy up loose ends regarding shared property. Just do it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is the best day of the year to think how to improve your partnerships and closest friendships. There must be something -- nobody’s perfect. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) How can you give your-
self better health as well as a better enjoyment of your work? What new attitude or new regime might you adopt to bring this about? YOU BORN TODAY You are always down-to-earth and forceful. Although you can appear to be casual, you’re actually very serious about whatever you say or do. You also can be explosive! You know how to use humor to soften what you say and get your way.

REGIONAL Interfor’s Grand Forks plant to receive additional $8.9 million for upgrades BY KARL YU Grand Forks Gazette
International Forest Products Ltd. (Interfor) allotted $19 million to upgrade its Grand Forks plant last year and recently announced it has authorized approximately $8.9 million for additional upgrades. “Four million dollars of it is to do with the increased operational reliability of the plant,� explained Andrew Horahan, Interfor’s general manager of the Kootenays. “The $3.4 million of it is site work, including paving yards and site integrity of both the log yard and the lumber yards, and $1.6 million of it is to improve the aesthetics of the plant.� The improvements will include re-cladding the buildings on the site and re-cladding and painting the interior of the facility and various other civil work projects around the site. Horahan said that the additional money will bring the total capital that will be invested in the Grand Forks site this year to $27 million and said that there was a need to pave the yard in Grand Forks. “We’d like to pave certain areas of it to reduce dust throughout the community, to
improve the reliability of the operation,� he explained. A bulk of the original $19 million is for the installation of a small log line and a smaller portion of it went to the installation of an automated grading system, which Horahan said is already installed and running well. He went on to say that the upgrades will improve the local plant significantly. “I’m excited that Grand Forks was able to obtain the necessary capital. “The Grand Forks planer was modernized a few years ago, these changes will improve the saw mill dramatically and allow it to become an excellent facility and the money spent on the yards and the aesthetics of the plant will make it a world-class site,� he said. Horahan said the estimated time when all upgrades will be completed is January or February 2013 but likely won’t lead to more jobs. “The upgrades will not lead to a significant increase in employment but will result in a solid operation that will maintain employment levels for the future,� he went on to say.
