Flood dampens church’s coffers, food bank BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff

Hundreds of riders rolled into the Silver City on the silver anniversary of the West Kootenay Toy Run and brought an early dose of Christmas cheer to the region as they raised money and food to purchase toys for children.
Construction near the Centotaph caused a flood in Trail United Church’s basement Wednesday night, casting doubt on how one of the city’s Food Banks will be able to continue, according to diaconal minister Keith Simmonds. In a meeting around 7 p.m. a couple of church members notified administration about two overflowing toilets, a problem that continued into Thursday. “We eventually tracked that down to some work in the sewer lines behind the church which I guess had plugged the lines below the church,” Simmonds said Sunday. The church is on a hill where the sewer lines go. The lines were plugged off around the Centotaph and overflowed into the church, down the stairs and into the basement beneath the church where the food bank operates out of, said Simmonds. Although it is unclear how much damage was done, Simmonds said the insurance adjuster expects it to be over its $5,000 deductible. “We’re not sure what to expect,” he said. “We’ve had a lot of people in because we had a laminate floor in that part of the church, and that had to come out. Some of the carpet and some of the lino all had to come out on the stairs too—and there was asbestos in there.” The biggest problem for most people was the smell, but there is a lot of “people-power” trying to make
Kootenay culture cashes in on CBT currency BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
A total of 10 Greater Trail arts and culture groups were handed Columbia Basin Trust funding Friday as the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance announced its latest wave of grant recipients. The Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance (CKCA) received a total of $706,000 in funding support for the 2012–2013 season, and in turn gave five Trail groups $18,700 to complete, maintain and refine their discipline. The CKCA, in partnership with Columbia Basin Trust (CBT), has funded
over 160 arts, culture and heritage projects including the Columbia Basin Culture Tour—that took place in the Greater Trail region as well—and The Trail Historical Society’s Trail Daily Times negative collection (to the tune of $9,000). The historical society was a double winner with a $2,770 grant for website upgrades, while the Trail Pipe Band was given $800 for drumming instruction and VISAC’s A Golden Age of Childhood was allotted $6,200. In Rossland, the Mountain Market received $2,000 for their music series, the Rossland Light Opera Players were
awarded $2,000 for 60 Years, and the Golden City Railway Model Club was given $700 for uniform shirts. The Rossland Council for Arts and Culture needed $1,300 for sound equipment and they got it, while the Rouge Centre for the Arts took home $930 for plinths and lighting. “We hope cultural organizations will start thinking about activities that will be happening between June 2013 and May 2014 and planning their applications now for the next funding cycle,” said Jacquie Hamilton, CKCA chair.

amends—although Simmonds made a different connection. “We seem to be having an interesting juxtaposition,” he continued, “we actually have this flood coming down the stairs into our food-bank area—which is a visual representation of being inundated, and we also have a flood of people who need help. “We don’t know what it’s going to look like in terms of what the church will have to pay, and I don’t know if the City is going to take up any part of our deductible or not.” The food-bank is open for roughly three hours every Tuesday of the month, except the second Tuesday. “When we first started we had maybe 30 people,” he said. “Last October we broke 100 and last food bank day we had open, I think we had 145.”

LOCAL Volunteering: Mir lecture series starts with truth and reconciliation A closer walk SPECIAL TO THE TIMES
BY GAIL POTTER Special to the Times
Volunteerism provides invaluable support to our communities. Volunteers do everything from making sure school children cross roads safely to delivering Meals-on-Wheels to shut-ins to providing search and rescue services. Some volunteers also choose to journey with those who are dying. There are many reasons these dedicated volunteers choose this particular and challenging area of service. Here is what they have to say about why they volunteer in palliative care: Joan I volunteer “because I know how overwhelming it can be to be facing death of a loved one and how important it can be to have somebody around with a calm presence to just know they are there whether you need to talk, get another viewpoint or just sit quietly with your own thoughts.” Heather I am a Hospice Volunteer because I believe in quality end of life care and support. Hospice Volunteers are an integral part of this quality care. It is rewarding for me to know that those who are dying are not alone when they want to be with someone. Sabine Being there in the last stage of life with someone is an absolute honor. It is one of the most real moments in life. Being able to be there for them and their family in that great time of need is a special gift given to us when we volunteer. Tom I think there is no better way to do good things for others than to be a caring presence to a person who is living his or her last days. It is a privilege to do so. It is also very satisfying, when the opportunity presents itself, to give support and comfort to the person’s loved ones. Brenda Volunteering for Hospice gives me a way to be involved with people, sometimes in a practical way, sometimes just being there. As a community we celebrate life when a child is born, and we support that new little person as they grow. Being present to a person who is moving into their last months, days and hours is just as important and is just as much a celebration or recognition of the importance of their life. Volunteering to sit with a dying person is not about ‘doing’ things for them. It is being ‘with’ them to alleviate fears, to provide an opportunity for them to talk and reminisce if they wish, or to provide gentle touch and human connection. It is also an opportunity to let family take a break and to support them in their grief and loss. As the quotes above illustrate, the benefits and rewards flow to both the dying person and to the volunteers. Would you consider becoming a Volunteer with Hospice? A training weekend is available October 26-28. Please call the Hospice Office 250-364-6204 for more details. Gail Potter is a nurse educator at Selkirk College who chairs the hospice board.
The chair of the Truth and Reconciliation of Commission of Canada will kick off the Mir Centre for Peace new lecture series season at Selkirk College this September. Justice Murray Sinclair is the first speaker of the 201213 lecture series, speaking at the Brilliant Cultural Centre in Castlegar on Sept. 21 (7 p.m.) about his role in educating all Canadians about what happened in Canada’s Indian Residential Schools (IRS). The commission was also tasked with documenting the stories of survivors, families, communities and anyone personally affected by the Indian residential school experience. “The relationship between Aboriginal people and nonAboriginal people in Canada has suffered as a result of the Indian Residential Schools”,
Justice Murray Sinclair said Mir Centre for Peace chair, Randy Janzen. “This event is important because healing that relationship will require education, awareness, and an increased understanding of the legacy still being felt today. Canada still has a long way to go as far as understanding what happened.” The Truth and
Reconciliation Commission is headquartered in Winnipeg, but Justice Sinclair and his staff are visiting places across Canada to raise awareness and collect stories from those who were involved in the residential schools. The Commission has engaged with survivors in order to record their experience in a safe, respectful and culturally appropriate manner. A person might share his or her experience through a one-on-one interview, in a written statement, or in a public forum. Justice Sinclair was born and raised in the Selkirk area north of Winnipeg, graduating from his high school as class valedictorian and athlete of the year in 1968. He attended the universities of Winnipeg and Manitoba and in 1979 graduated from the Faculty
of Law at the University of Manitoba. He was called to the Manitoba Bar in 1980 and was known for his representation of Aboriginal people and his knowledge of Aboriginal legal issues. He has been awarded a National Aboriginal Achievement award in addition to many other community service awards, as well as honourary degrees from the University of Manitoba, and the University of Ottawa. He is an adjunct professor of law and an adjunct professor in the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Manitoba. Tickets are $16 adults, $13 students and seniors and are available at Selkirk College bookstores, (365-1281), Otter Books in Nelson and at the door. For more information, call 365-1234.

There was no Goldilocks and no porridge waiting for this trio of bruins as they clambered up to the roadside of the aptly named Black Bear Road on the weekend in the Beaver Valley.
Food bank future remains uncertain FROM PAGE 1 The area where the food bank operates out of is on a slightly lower level than the rest of the basement and most of the sewage flowed in that direction, but it didn’t disrupt any scheduled events. “We had a funeral and a wedding on Saturday and a church service Sunday, and they just have great big fans and humidifiers running in the basement with windows and
doors open,” Simmonds said. “The church smelled fine so we just had our services and continued on.” Simmonds said the situation could’ve been worse, if the City’s trucks did not begin pumping out the sewage, but remains unclear about whose bill it will be. It is doubtful whether the area will be restored well enough to continue with next Tuesday’s food-bank.

Bomb-detecting dolphins used for military training BY STEVE RENNIE
A LOOK AROUND THE PROVINCE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
Body found in suitcase Police say that as many as 100 officers from as far away as Beijing tried to find out who was responsible for the death of a woman whose remains were found in a suitcase. Police say Lianjie Guo went missing from Richmond in June, and her remains were discovered on Harwood Island, near Powell River, in July. Her son, Yuan Xi Tang, is charged with first degree murder and counselling to commit an indictable offence. The cause of death has not yet been released by police who say the suspect is due to appear in court next week.
Halibut fish fight Commercial halibut fishermen are calling for a stable share of the total catch, just as the recreational season comes to a close tomorrow. Fisheries and Oceans spokesman Dan Bate say catch estimates indicate the recreational fishery’s allocation will be achieved by early September. That allocation was set at 15 per cent of the entire fishery in February, with 85 per cent going to the commercial sector. Chris Sporer of the Pacific Halibut Management Association says commercial boats are a source of food, are strictly monitored, and contribute significantly to the economy.
OTTAWA - Canadian soldiers got an up-close look at bomb-detecting dolphins during a military training exercise with the Americans off the coast of British Columbia, a newly released document shows. The U.S. navy brought four bottlenose dolphins and a small support team to Esquimalt, B.C., last year to practise antimine tactics as part of Exercise Trident Fury. The large-scale training operation took place in May 2011 and involved the armed forces and coast guards of Canada and the United States. A briefing note to the chief of maritime staff described the exercise as a rare opportunity for the Canadian military to gain valuable experience working with the animals - something it currently does not do. “Canada has no similar programme for the conduct of mine counter-measures

its so-called Marine Mammal System comprised of dolphins and California sea lions to hunt for mines and stop hostile swimmers and divers. Canada does not use aquatic animals in its military operations and apparently has no plans to do so. What makes the animals so useful to the U.S. navy is their sensory and diving capabilities. A dolphin’s natural sonar is still superior to any device used by the military, the briefing note says. Dolphins send out sound waves by making high-frequency clicking noises. They can tell what else is in the water by reading the echoes that bounce back. Sea lions have excellent low-light vision and can tell which direction sounds come from underwater, which humans cannot do. The U.S. navy Marine Mammal Program has been training dolphins and sea lions since the 1960s, but it was only in the early 1990s that the program was declassified.

(MCM) and no intent to develop one,� the April 2011 briefing note says. “However, this is a principal means by which the (U.S. navy) will conduct such operations. It is likely that any MCM operation in our Pacific approaches will involve a combined defence construct and it is thus essential that we practice such procedures.� The document suggests the chance to train with the Americans and their dolphins on mine-clearing techniques was worth any risk of bad press. “While there is a risk of negative perception developing within the public over this activity, operating with the full spectrum of USN MCM forces, including the (Marine Mammal System), affords the Canadian navy a unique opportunity to gain exposure to some of the most advanced MCM tactics and mine hunting systems in service today.� The Canadian Press obtained the briefing note under the Access to Information Act. The American military has long used
the provincial government’s attempt to offer extra cash to teachers whose classes exceed size limits. The Ministry of Education is proposing to pay teachers an extra $2,500 per year per student in excess of 30 in Grades 4-7, and an extra $312 per student in excess of 30 in some secondary school courses. In the Central Okanagan, the school district said it will do everything it can to avoid oversize classes. “We have to go through a bit of a process now during the month of September
to balance classes and to make sure that we have as many under 30 as we possibly can,� said superintendent Hugh Gloster, with the Central Okanagan school district. Gloster said the legislation is straight forward: there is a formula used to determine compensation for teachers. “If you go over 30 at any point during the month, then a teacher is potentially eligible for compensation. And they can take it in a variety of different ways, whether it is in prep time or pro-d (profes-

There will be some exceptions, mostly at the secondary level, Gloster added. “I doubt that we would have any classes or many classes, certainly, at the elementary or middle school level affected by this. “We will have a few - specialty situations at the secondary level, where, for example, say in a French immersion class, where it wouldn’t make sense to have two sections when you are over by one student.� Alice Rees, president of the Central Okanagan Teachers’ Association, was unavailable for comment last week. Susan Lambert, president of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation,

This year’s concerns about class size are magnified by Bill 22. “Bill 22 proposes a new scheme to pay some teachers more for taking classes with more students than are allowed under the School Act. We believe this is an attempt to co-opt teachers into accepting learning conditions that are unacceptable,� Lambert said in a statement. “They’re offering teachers more money, but students will get less time. It’s not right. Any amount of money to the teacher won’t make those overcrowded classrooms OK for kids.�

Growing number of stolen ID cards used to obtain passports: RCMP BY WILL CAMPBELL THE CANADIAN PRESS
Criminals are increasingly using stolen social insurance numbers and doctored birth certificates to obtain legitimate driver’s licences and passports, an internal RCMP report says. And by leveraging pilfered or forged identity markers into higher-value IDs, criminals can sidestep tough anti-counterfeiting features built into government-issued identity documents, including a pending upgrade of passports with biometric chips. “Identities are being overtaken, altered or created, facilitating a number of other crimes, including many variations of fraud, typically for financial gain or to conceal a
true identity,� says the March 2011 report prepared by the RCMP’s criminal intelligence division. It points to a rising use of “breeder� documents - identity records such as social insurance numbers, birth or citizenship certificates - that are stolen, tampered with or falsified, then used to sign up for credit cards or valid forms of identity. The report suggests Ottawa’s recent move to stop issuing SIN cards, instead sending the information in a letter, may not hinder identity thieves who skim someone’s mail or pick through their garbage looking for the nine-digit number. The report says the failure of governments to cross-check the authenticity of
personal documents used in applications allows fraudsters to stitch together a “synthetic� identity, often combining a stolen social insurance number or altered birth certificate with a made-up name and date of birth. That means a social insurance number can be successfully paired with an entirely different name on a government application form, since the two are not routinely checked for a match, it says. And online applications make it easier for criminals to avoid face-to-face interactions when committing identity fraud, the report notes. Though obtaining credit cards is the number 1 goal for fraudsters, they’re also exploiting gaps in the way numerous offi-
cial identity documents are issued - or using existing cards with no security features or photo - to acquire a federal passport or provincial driver’s license, according to the RCMP research. “There are too many ID cards/documents in circulation. More documents lead to more standards, which opens the door to more fraud,� the report says, adding organized crime groups seize upon identityprotection shortfalls. A censored copy of the report obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act does not contain statistics on how common the fraud tactic is, but estimates suggest it is growing rapidly along with other forms of identity crime.
Sinkhole erodes patience in nation’s capital Are you a BY JENNIFER DITCHBURN THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA - Canadians who have grumbled at tax or election time about Ottawa being a big sinkhole may well have been on to something. The cavernous pit that suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the nation’s capital last week didn’t swallow political promises or federal tax dollars not yet, anyway. But it did gulp down - and even seem to digest - a small car. Juan Pedro Unger’s Hyundai Accent went headlights first into the hole, leaving him suspended by his seatbelt. Only the car’s back bumper showed above the rim of the chasm - sort of like the cars in Hollywood movies about earthquakes. One of the capital’s main traffic arteries, Highway 174, has been closed since then, wreaking commuter havoc. “There were two big gaps with water flowing into them like a river was forming, and completely pitch black under it,� Unger told CBC Radio about what he saw. Luckily, he wasn’t seriously hurt. But suburbanites unaccustomed to the hours-long, soulcrushing commutes of, say, Toronto or Montreal, are losing their patience. Between 9,000-11,000 Ottawa residents drive on that area of highway each afternoon rush hour. “We’ve been promoting the idea of employees working staggered hours, if any employee could start work earlier and finish earlier, that’s definitely the best thing,� said city councillor Bob Monette, whose ward sits in the eye of the storm. “We’re also encouraging if their employer is 5)& ,005&/":n4 05& &/":n4 0/-:

flexible, to work from home. The least amount of cars we get on the road, the better it is.� Experts say a half-century old stormwater culvert buried under the highway appears to have rusted out and collapsed, causing flowing water to erode the road’s foundation. Carleton University transportation engineering professor Abd El Halim likened it to an empty egg shell. When there’s stuff inside the egg - an intact pipe, for example - the structure remains solid. But once that’s gone, the shell of asphalt can easily cave in. There have been several other examples of sinkholes across Canada - on busy Sherbrooke Street in Montreal earlier this summer, for example. El Halim called the 174 sinkhole a wake-up call. “You have to go back and review all our designs underneath, all of our structures over the years, find which ones that have surpassed or are close to the end of their useful life, and fix them,� he said. “It’s easy to do that. We have equipment to tell us whether the structure is valid to carry the weight of our trucks and vehicles for the next five years. But it is a expensive process that will require a lot of manpower and a lot of time.�

anadians have rightly deplored the harshness of the two-year prison sentence imposed on Pussy Riot members by a Russian court following the group’s political protest in a Moscow church. But our smugness in thinking that nothing like this could happen in Canada is sadly unwarranted. Something similar already has happened in Canada. However, the subject matter of the Canadian man’s protest was even more politically incorrect than Pussy Riot’s criticism of Vladimir Putin; consequently, his draconian treatment has met with virtual silence in the media. The victim of this treatment is Bruce Montague of Kenora, Ontario. Ten years ago, he was a firearms dealer and manufacturer with all the necessary licences and permits. However, he had long deplored the complex licensing and gun registration laws that came into effect with the notorious Bill C-68 (the Firearms Act) in 1995. He believed the law violated his constitutional rights. Montague joined a protest group called Canadian
KAREN
SELICK Troy Media Unlicenced Firearms Owners Association. Then, putting his convictions to the ultimate test, he allowed his firearms business licence to expire in November, 2002 and his Firearms Acquisition Certificate in November, 2003. He then carried on with his gunsmith business. Had he applied instead to renew his licences, they would undoubtedly have been renewed. Until then, he had never been in trouble with the law. In fact, he was the gunsmith patronized by the local police. But underestimating the viciousness of a state that finds itself defied, Montague decided to become the poster-boy protester against unnecessary firearms paperwork. His goal was to challenge the constitutionality of the law
in court. For about two years, Montague deliberately tweaked the authorities’ noses, daring them to lay charges against him. He even marched on Parliament Hill with an unregistered firearm in his hand. Nothing happened. But finally, while attending a gun show with his 12-year-old daughter, he was arrested by half a dozen OPP officers and hustled off to jail. He was charged with 12 different offences in 53 counts. His constitutional arguments against the validity of the law were rejected by two levels of Ontario courts, and leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada was denied. After a jury trial, Montague was acquitted on 27 charges and convicted on 26. Not a single conviction involved any violence or threat of violence. Not a single person was ever harmed, threatened, confronted, or even scared by him. Most of the charges involved failing to have a licence. In an unprecedented move, the jury foreman asked to testify at Montague’s sentencing hearing. The prosecutor objected, probably sus-
pecting that the foreman would advocate leniency for this paperwork criminal. The judge forbade the foreman to speak. It’s illegal in Canada for jurors to reveal what went on during their deliberations, so we’ll probably never know. However, for merely failing to comply with regulations, Montague was sentenced to 18 months’ incarceration, followed by 90 days’ imprisonment in the community, plus one year’s probation. He is permanently forbidden from owning firearms, thus ending his gunsmithing career. His combined jail terms were almost as long as Pussy Riot’s - and like those Russian rebels, he never did anything other than defy the state. Indeed, when he appealed the length of his sentence to the Ontario Court of Appeal, the court cited “his deliberate defiance of the law” as one of their reasons for upholding the sentence. Montague has now served his full prison sentences. His probation will end in January. But adding insult to injury, the province of Ontario has now brought a civil suit against him under the Civil Remedies Act, claiming
the right to seize his home - which also housed his gunsmith shop - as either an “instrument of crime” or “proceeds of crime”. Having already taken almost two years of this man’s life when he has never been shown to have hurt a fly, having also taken his livelihood, the state now wants to crush him completely by taking the only significant asset he has left. Last fall, Ontario prosecutors sent him a written offer to settle the property forfeiture lawsuit. They’d let him keep his house provided he paid them $50,000 and agreed to a gag order that would prevent him from disclosing the terms of the settlement. In a telephone interview, Montague told me that he and his family had built that house themselves, long before he became a protester. He said he’d “rather die than have them take this house or extort money from me.” Why isn’t this grossly disproportionate persecution of a protester making headlines across Canada and around the world?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Climate change controversey? To the Editor: I haven’t lived in Trail all that long, but, in reading your letters page, I’ve come to understand that convincing some writers that humans have a part in climate change is about as likely as convincing others that our current MP is doing a good job, or that our MLA belongs to the right party. I’ve had the opportunity to hear from people who are actually studying the world’s oceans, and I worked in industry long enough to remember the supporters of asbestos and the naysayers of acid rain quite clearly. I don’t think I lived in denial myself, just took my paycheque and trusted that someday we’d get things right. And things are getting better. You can hang the clothes out to dry on an overcast day and trust that the rain, if it comes, won’t eat holes in your undies. Not anymore. Well, except maybe if you’re a shell fish, or a coral reef, or a plankton. Then, according to the folk I’m hearing from, their undies aren’t doing so well. As the uptake of the oceans increases they
become more acidic and life as we know it begins to die. If enough life dies in the ocean, we die along with it. Or our kids do. Now maybe the scientists and biologists and the folk who study the oceans are wrong about the cause of the problem. Maybe the folk who deny their conclusions are right this time. But what do we lose by cleaning up our emissions, taking the bus or the bike or the train a bit more, or finding other sources of energy? Call me a gullible dupe if you like, but my memory carries the truth of rotted clothing, fresh from the line. I have sat by too many friends whose exposure to harmless asbestos or silica or cedar has taken away too much. I’d rather err on the side of caution, do what I can and look foolish to my grandchildren for believing I was protecting their lives, than light up another cigarette, “Because we’re all gonna die anyway.” But maybe that’s just me. And mine. Keith Simmonds, Trail

Flu shot problem may not be THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A new study suggests a strange phenomenon spotted at the start of the 2009 flu pandemic may well have been real. Canadian researchers noticed in the early weeks of the pandemic that people who got a flu shot the previous winter seemed to be more likely to get infected with the pandemic virus than people who hadn’t received a flu shot. Five studies done in sever-
al provinces showed the same result, but initially research outside of Canada did not. Some in the flu research community dubbed it “the Canadian problem” and dismissed it. But a new study in ferrets shows the animals get sicker when exposed to the 2009 flu virus if they were previously vaccinated with the vaccine given for the 2008-2009 flu season. Lead author Dr. Danuta
Skowronski says the reason for the effect is unclear, but she hopes other research groups will now try to figure it out. Skowronski is an influenza expert at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control in Vancouver. She is the researcher who first spotted the unexpected - and unwelcome - effect. She presented the ferret study findings Sunday at a major international infectious diseases conference in San Francisco.

PEOPLE OBITUARIES BENZER, JOE (JOSEPH NICKOLAUS) — We are sad to announce the passing of Joe (Joseph Nickolaus) Benzer in Merritt, on September 5, 2012, at the age of 82 years. Joe was born and took all his schooling in Kelowna. He moved with his parents to Merritt in 1951. He was trained as an Electrician by his Dad and later joined the IBEW where he worked for the rest of his career. He thoroughly enjoyed his work and travelled much of the Province working at different B.C. sites. He retired to Kamloops, and returned to Merritt when he needed more care. Joe enjoyed swimming and paddling in the war canoe races at the Kelowna Regatta. He was one of the first people to swim across Okanagan Lake, a distance of over a kilometre. He enjoyed the outdoors, participating in hunting and fishing. He was involved in Boy Scouting, rising to a Troop Leader. Although Joe never married, he was very much a part of our families. He was especially loved by his nieces and nephews, who he used to take out for breakfast whenever they were all together. They would stop to have a visit with him anytime they went through Merritt. He was predeceased by his parents Nick and Liz, and brother Bill. He is survived by his brothers, Ernie (Kaye) in Kelowna, Art (Gail) in Montrose, sister-in-law Sybil in Terrace, and his eleven nieces and nephews and their families, also three great, great nieces. He will be missed by all the family. A special thank you to Maurice Mathieu for being a wonderful friend to Joe, visiting often, taking him out, and doing any shopping for him. You were a huge part of his life the last few years that he lived in Merritt. Also thank you to the staff at Nicola Meadows, where he lived until he needed more care. You were awesome to him, teasing and helping him and practicing “Tough Love”. The last few months at Gillis House were made so much easier because of the very caring staff there. A special thanks to Dr. Van Der Merwe. Merritt Funeral Chapel is in charge of the arrangements. Joe’s ashes will be put in his father’s grave in Merritt, B.C. A marker will be added to match his mother’s and dad’s. There was a service at Gillis House on Sunday, September 9, at 1:30 pm.

No roll in rock: Billy Talent singer

THE CANADIAN PRESS
illy Talent has flourished while others in the music industry have floundered these past few years, and singer Ben Kowalewicz has a theory as to why that is. There simply aren’t that many good rock bands at the moment, he says. “Rock music is at a low right now, you know what I mean?” Kowalewicz said in a recent interview from Belgium. “I kind of feel like we’re in the late ‘80s, early ‘90s, where it was the same thing... And all of a sudden, you have bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam and Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine and Tool and Offspring and Green Day and the Beastie Boys, all this stuff, and it was this tidal wave that just destroyed everything that was going on. “I feel like there’s something that’s going to happen musically that’s going to rival that. There’s going to be this huge resurgence and people going to see rock ‘n’ roll shows and feeling that connection.” In the meantime, Kowalewicz and co. are happy to keep giving fans their fix of adrenalized aggression, the latest dose coming in the form of the band’s fifth studio album, “Dead Silence.” Produced by the band’s guitarist and lead songwriter Ian D’Sa, the record features the sort of breathless intensity that’s become its calling card. But as they logged long hours in the studio, the quartet pushed one another further and further - to the point where Kowalewicz said he managed to raise his voice higher than ever before. “Ian’s the main songwriter of the band and he came up with all these ideas, and it just happened that the melodies ... were definitely in a higher register,” he said. “We worked pretty closely together, so if there’s something that’s absolutely unattainable - like Sebastian Bach style - then I tell him I can’t do it.” Some of the album’s righteous rage was inspired by what Kowalewicz describes as increasingly dire political and environmental circumstances that people seem to be working harder than ever to ignore, hence the rallying cry perva-
sive in songs like “Man Alive!” While most of the record is powered by the pummelling, pile-driving riffs the band is known for, there are diversions most notably, the mannered, tuneful lovesick pop of “Stand Up and Run.” “I was like, is this a little too weird? Is this a little too left of centre for us?” Kowalewicz said of the song, which he compared to ‘50s pop. Indeed, the Mississauga, Ont., band seems newly able to shrug off such moments of self-doubt. While Billy Talent has long been a commercial success - each of the group’s last three albums has been certified multi-platinum in Canada - Kowalewicz noticed a skepticism among some listeners, who perhaps dismissed the band as another sludge-slinging radio act. He says Billy Talent has gradually won some of those people over. “I think perhaps there was a stigma that surrounded our band for a long time - and that’s kind of lifting,” he said. “People just see we want to write good songs. We try to be the best people we can be. We’re just four normal dudes writing rock songs. “And I think people can see there’s an honesty and a realness behind the band. We don’t mean anybody any harm.... We’re definitely really fortunate. There’s not a day that goes by that we’re not even more appreciative.” Especially after a medical scare in February that forced drummer Aaron Solowoniuk to undergo open-heart surgery. While it was a success, Kowalewicz called the incident a “big uppercut.” After all, the members of Billy Talent have been playing together since high-school. They’ve been a band - and close friends - for almost 20 years. “We’ve just grown up together, right?” Kowalewicz said, praising the band’s internal harmony. “When you’ve grown up, you get to know their ins and outs and what makes them tick. I think we’ve also been really good - we don’t air our dirty laundry out in front of people. If we have a problem, we sit in a room together and discuss it. “We just kind of have a really nice way of dealing with each other and communicating with each other.”

TRAIL SMOKE EATERS
Rough road start BY TIMES STAFF
The Trail Smoke Eaters opened its season on Saturday at Prospera Place in Chilliwack, but it was anything but prosperous. Trail was greeted rudely by former Smoke Eater coach Jim Ingram and the Cowichan Valley Capitals at the inaugural BCHL Showcase, that saw all teams face off in a two games series. The Caps broke open a close 3-1 game by scoring five goals in the third period to roll to an 8-1 victory. Cowichan Valley took advantage of Trail penalties, scoring four times with the man advantage including a shorthanded goal in the third. Keyler Bruce put the Capitals on the board with the lone goal of the first period, but Cowichan quickly went up 3-0 early in the second on goals by Eli Jarvis and Jarrett Brown. Trail replied mid-way through the frame when captain Garrett McMullen finished a nice pass from Brent Baltus. Undisciplined penalties put the brakes on any momentum the Smokies may have gained off McMullen’s marker. A Trail high-sticking minor less than three minutes into the third, soon made it 4-1 Caps and they followed that with a short-handed goal at the 14:44 mark that sent starter Lyndon Stanwood to the bench in favour of Braedon Krogfoss, but that didn’t stop Cowichan from adding two more PP markers and an even strength goal. Cowichan special teams ruled the day as they converted four of eight power-play chances while their penalty killing unit held the Smokes to just one goal on seven power-play opportunities. Cowichan Valley outshot the Smokies 38 to 29 including an 18 shot barrage in the third. After Cowichan lost to the Surrey Eagles in seven games in the opening round of the playoffs last year, Ingram has added some punch to this season’s lineup with the additions of forward Ryan Hanes from the Kamloops Blazers and Corey Scammon who has committed to the University of Massachusettes, as well as former major junior forwards Matt Grant and Mikael Jung. The Smokies played Merritt Centennials at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, but the final score was not available at press time. JIM BAILEY PHOTOS

JUNIOR BOWLERS
Youth bowling programs ready to roll BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
Glenmerry Bowl has the pins all set up and is looking for bowlers ready to roll into its new season. Glenmerry Bowl, in conjunction with Youth Bowling Canada, is particularly interested in getting beginner bowlers involved in its programs. YBC was launched in 1963 by the Bowling Proprietors’ Association of Canada and has developed youngsters into top players across the country. The focus is on creating a fun and healthy environment where all kids play regardless of ability. For those looking to more competitive bowling, the YBC offers the Four Steps to Stardom, a championship event which begins at the house level and progresses through regional, provincial and eventu-
ally the YBC National Championships. Every Saturday youth from ages 5-10 are invited to the bowling alley in Glenmerry at 10 a.m. to have fun on the lanes. Then on Sundays the young adult league starts at 5:30 p.m. with the seniors (age 15-19) and junior (11-14) knocking down pins. An even greater incentive for young bowlers to get started, is a scholarship program offered by the bowling proprietors of B.C. “There’s been some really good kids stay with the program,” said Glenmerry Bowl owner Ron Sandnes. “What they do, the kids apply and they get sent from the (bowling) houses of British Columbia . . . and then the bowling proprietors office makes the selection, based mostly on their scholastic but also on their competi-
tion and how they’ve done over their late years in bowling - if they’ve made it to zones, provincials, or nationals.” Last year, Trail bowler Jeffery Horan received the scholarship while Curtis Flack won it in 2011. Sandnes says the younger the kids get into the game, the longer they tend to stay with it. “A lot of the kids that started at 5 years old are now in junior or senior.” Glenmerry Bowl also offers In-house tournaments throughout the season to help get beginner bowlers familiar with tournament competition. All bowlers are handicapped - to make a level bowling lane - so even a novice can win. Registration for youth bowling goes until Friday; call 368-6211 to register.

Davidson commits TRAIL -The Trail Smoke Eaters announced the commitment of 17 year-old forward Scott Davidson to NCAA Division I Quinnipiac University for the 2014-15 hockey season on Friday. Davidson, a native of Trail, is entering his first year in the BCHL after missing most of the 2011-12 season with an injury. As a 16 year-old, Davidson scored 5 goals and 14 points in 11 regular-season games with the Junior “B” Beaver Valley Nitehawks, adding 6 points in 13 postseason appearances as part of Beaver Valley’s 2012 KIJHL championship run. In four pre-season appearances this year with Trail, Davidson tal-
lied 7 assists including a 5-point effort Sept. 1 against the Merritt Centennials, and collected his first point Saturday, as he helped set up the Smoke Eaters only goal in an 8-1 loss to Cowichan Valley. “We’re extremely excited to have a player commit to college this early in the season,” stated Smoke Eaters head coach/general manager Bill Birks. “It’s all the more special to us and I’m sure to our fans that a local kid on our roster gets to take advantage of a great opportunity with Quinnipiac. “He’s had a great pre-season and we’re looking forward to seeing what he can do with our club as we get ready for the regular season,” Birks added.

Boy Wonder wins BMW THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARMEL, Ind. - Rory McIlroy beat the strongest leaderboard in golf this year Sunday in the BMW Championship and joined some elite company. McIlroy made back-to-back birdies around the turn to emerge from a four-way tie and seize control at Crooked Stick. He closed with a 5-under 67, making his only bogey on the final hole when it no longer mattered, for a two-shot victory over Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood. Everyone knew the Boy Wonder from Ireland was a special player when he won the U.S. Open last summer with a record score. The last month has established him as the dominant player in golf, with three wins in four tournaments loaded with the best players - the PGA Championship and two FedEx Cup playoff events. McIlroy became the first player since Tiger Woods in 2009 to win in consecutive weeks on the PGA Tour, and with his sixth career win, he joined Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win at least six times at age 23. “I didn’t think everything would happen so quickly, but I’m on a good run at the minute and I want to keep it going as long as I can,” McIlroy said. Mickelson and Westwood tried to chase him down on the back nine at Crooked Stick, only to mistakes when they couldn’t afford any. Westwood, who lost to McIlroy in the semifinals

of the Match Play Championship in February, caught him with a birdie on the par-3 13th. But the weak area of his game showed up at the wrong time - a poor chip on the 14th for bogey, another pedestrian chip on the par-5 15th that led to par. He wound up with a 69. “I played with him when he was 13, and you could see it then,” Westwood said. “He’s just maturing all the time, as he will do. And he’s a very, very good player. Mickelson, tied for the lead going into the final round, was one shot behind when his approach flew the green on No. 12 and he had to scramble for bogey. Mickelson made back-to-back birdies late in the round to get within two shots of the lead, but he badly missed a 3-foot par putt on the 17th to fall three shots behind. He closed with a 70. Woods was never seriously in the mix. Five shots behind with seven holes to play, he made three late birdies and shot 68 to tie for fourth with Robert Garrigus (69). Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., shot a finalround 75 to finish 15 strokes back in a four-way tie for 37th. McIlroy’s work is not done. He is the No. 1 seed going into the FedEx Cup finale in two weeks at East Lake, but any of the top five seeds can win the Tour Championship and capture the FedEx Cup with its $10 million bonus. The other four seeds are Woods, Nick Watney, Mickelson and Brandt Snedeker. “Rory is putting on a show out there,” Woods said. “And we’ve got one more tournament.” Any of the top 30 players who advanced to the Tour Championship have a mathematical shot at winning the $10 million prize. One guy who won’t have that opportunity is Vijay Singh, who started the final round tied for the lead with Mickelson. The 49-year-old Fijian fell apart on the back nine with three bogeys in a four-hole stretch to fall out of the top 30. A birdie on the final hole gave Singh a 73, but by then it was too late. McIlroy finished on 20-under 268 and earned $1.44 million, pushing him to over $7.8 million for the season to effectively lock up the money title and all but assure being voted by his peers as the PGA Tour player of the year. He has four wins on tour this year - one more than Woods - and that includes a record eight-shot win at the PGA Championship.

LONDON - With more countries more serious about winning medals in Paralympic sport, Canada tumbled down the rankings in London. The stated objective of a top-eight finish in gold medals won at the 2012 Paralympic Games proved too ambitious for Canada. Seven gold medals was well below the 19 won four years ago in Beijing. Canada ranked 20th among 166 countries in London. “While we’re extremely proud of our athletes, not reaching our target is something we take very seriously,” Canadian Paralympic Committee chief executive officer Henry Storgaard said Sunday at a closing news conference. “It means a

Countries such as Russia, Iran, Poland, Spain, France and Ireland moved passed Canada at these Games. To build the depth required to compete with the world at the Paralympic Games, the CPC has launched an aggressive recruitment and development campaign to widen the pool of athletes. “Other countries have tens of million of people with disabilities and can afford to throw numbers at the challenge,” said CPC executive director of sport Rob Needham. “If we’re going to be competitive and get back to where we want to be in the podium standings, we need to be reaching a vastly higher percentage of our people with disabilities and really looking to remove the barriers to participation.”

Paralympic medal is more valuable and harder to achieve. The world has changed for Paralympic sport over the last two weeks and Canada needs to change with it.” The wheelchair rugby team won Canada’s 31st medal Sunday, falling 66-51 to Australia in the final for silver. Canadian athletes also earned 15 silver and nine bronze. Canada was third in the gold-medal count in 2000 and 2004 before dropping to seventh in Beijing. The Paralympics are gaining respect and profile in the media, both mainstream and social. Athletes such as South Africa’s Oscar (Blade Runner) Pistorius are celebrities. Other countries now see the value of investment in athletes with a disability.
Adult bowling also starts up this week, and bowlers and teams are still able to register for Ladies Coffee league at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, the Mixed Money League Tuesday at 7 p.m., Mens Night on Wednesdays at 7 p.m., Senior’s Bowling on Wednesday at 1 p.m. and Mixed at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Light a candle in honour of suicide prevention MAILBOX
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
and community is staggering. There is good news, though. Organizations across the globe such as ours are making advances in suicide prevention research, understanding and outreach. Despite the complexity of this phenomenon, suicide can be prevented. There are many crisis centers throughout the world that offer support by phone, email, forums and chat. Suicide prevention organizations, locally and across the world, are joining IASP in encouraging people to “light a candle near a window at 8:00 p.m.” on World Suicide Prevention Day
I have never met. My co-worker has made it quite clear that he is expecting us to attend. At his first daughter’s wedding, he invited 20 co-workers and only one showed up. He was very upset. Am I obligated to attend his daughter’s wedding? -- RSVP Dear RSVP: You are not obligated to attend, although you might want to weigh that choice against Monday’s reaction at the office. While we don’t care for co-workers who pressure others to attend their personal events, consider whether he wants your presence or your presents. If you would feel more comfortable, send a small gift with your regrets. Dear Annie: I was in a similar situation as “In the Middle.” My grandmother also made me feel second best, and I often received gifts that were not age appropriate. Your suggestion that Mom stay out of it
and let the now-adult granddaughter thank Grandma for any gifts and share what she chooses is sound advice. That is what my mother and I have been doing. I would like to mention another possibility. Perhaps the grand-
mother’s upbringing and culture could be playing a part in her behavior toward the granddaughter, since it did in my case. In some cultures, the older generation is still having a difficult time making the transition from
their traditional ideas. In realizing this, I have become more understanding about my grandmother’s behavior and react with more compassion. She’s trying her best. -- Been There, Too

Dear Annie: On September 10th, people throughout the world will be observing World Suicide Prevention Day, an annual event co-sponsored by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Approximately one million people worldwide die by suicide each year. This corresponds to one every 40 seconds. The number of lives lost each year through suicide exceeds the number of deaths due to homicide and war combined. These figures do not include suicide attempts, which may be up to 20 times the number of deaths. The economic costs associated with selfinflicted death or injuries are estimated to be in the billions of dollars a year. The psychological and social impact of suicide on the family

LEISURE
YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Relations with family members, especially older ones, are a bit tense today. Knowing this ahead of time, don’t push your luck. Keep your head down and your powder dry. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s easy to fall into worry mode today. Just remember the saying: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.” GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be disappointed in your finances today. Maybe nothing has changed since yesterday except that you feel your glass is halfempty instead of half-full. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Moon is in your sign today, but it is dancing with harsh, stern Saturn. This casts everything in a pessi-
mistic light. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The best way to handle the energy of today is to work alone and keep working. If you are diligent and persevering, you won’t get hung up on trivial, troublesome details. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Someone in a group situation might rain on your parade today. They’re critical of whatever you’re trying to do. Don’t take this personally -- many people are discouraged today. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a poor day to ask for approval or permission, because bosses, parents and people in authority are unwilling to cooperate. Instead, their answer will be, “Talk to the hand!” SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Study seems challenging today. Furthermore, rules
and regulations might curtail your hopes to travel or explore new ideas. It appears you have to toe the line. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is not a good day to sit down and divide something or decide how to share something. Someone will be unhappy, because people are stingy. (Ouch.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might feel obligated
to a friend or partner today. And in a sense, it’s true: You have to go more than halfway when dealing with others, because the Moon today is opposite your sign. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Tackle routine, ordinary work that requires concentration on details. This is the best way to deal with today. It’s not a glamorous day; it’s a day for steady work. (Ho-hum.)
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Children might feel like an increased responsibility today. Similarly, it’s hard to find joy in romance or the entertainment world. Today is just plain vanilla. YOU BORN TODAY You live by your own rules. You’re opinionated, but you want to be free. You often make big decisions that change your life. You are fond of children because you are a nurturer.
