Picket lines coming to Trail

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

Better get your insurance claims done today, ICBC employees won’t be in the office Tuesday to process them.

I n s u r a n c e Corporation of BC (ICBC) employees at the Trail Claims Centre are expected to join 1,500 members across the province on the picket lines Tuesday, according to the union’s website, and won’t be

on the job.

Last week the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union, Local 378 (COPE 378) announced the members at 55 claimsrelated ICBC locations including Trail would be taking strike action.

COPE 378 ICBC president David Black said the decision to strike Tuesday was not an easy one.

“These are employees who have been without a contract for

over two years,” Black said in a press release.

The strike action may only last one day, said Black.

If you really need a claim taken care of on Tuesday, you could drive to Nelson. The claim’s centre office in the Heritage City has been deemed essential services—with only three employees—and will not be walking the line. However, the Nelson branch centre office will be on strike.

REGIONAL GRAND FORKS CREDIT UNION DONATES TO KBRH

No cases reported in Trail FROM PAGE 1

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Grand Forks Credit Union made a donation of $7,000 to KBRH Health Foundation’s Digital Mammography campaign, with $2,000 designated in memory of Judi Thomas who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2012. Lisa Pasin, Director of Development KBRH Health Foundation gratefully accepts the donation from the Grand Forks Credit Union team, including (left to right) Angela Soukoreff, Tracey Lloyd, Tina Flanagan, Angela Fraser, Lisa Pasin, Melodie Davidoff, Debbie Lauzon, and Kelly Thomas, CEO (far right).

The story perturbed councillor Rick Georgetti and he wondered how the disease could be so prevalent across the border from the city’s smelter, when the same conditions were not evident in the community that housed the operation.

“I don’t believe that (story). If that was the case then we would have an epidemic here because we are so much closer,” he pointed out.

“And we don’t have any high cases. I don’t believe there is a correlation between Teck and the incidents in Northport.”

Teck Metals made an “admission of fact” in an agreement reached Sept. 10 with the Colville Confederated Tribes over environmental damage caused by effluent discharges dating back to 1896.

KASLO

After-hours emergency service cut

BY SAM VAN SCHIE Nelson Star

After-hours emergency room service will no longer be offered at the Kaslo hospital after November 2.

Interior Health announced late Thursday that the Victorian Community Health Centre in Kaslo will soon only offer emergency service Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Dr. Alan Stewart, medical director of Interior Health’s community integrated health services, said the change was demanded by doctors tired of being on-call 24-7.

“We’ve known for awhile that the physicians were finding their jobs very stressful,” Stewart said.

“They informed us about a month ago that they’d reached the breaking point, that they were burned out, and that they wouldn’t be able to continue providing the after hours and weekend coverage.”

Interior Health receives

“Interior Health is treating us like peasants out on the countryside, like we don’t know what’s good for us.”

GREG LAY

funding from the province to hire two full time physicians in Kaslo. Because it’s a rural community, and the workload is inconsistent, doctors there are paid based on a set contract rather than following the fee for service model used in more populated areas.

Ideally the doctors would work in the clinic during the day and be on call to respond to emergencies that occur outside regular hours. But Stewart said it’s been impossible for Interior Health to find anyone to do this.

Instead, the two full-time equivalent positions have been spread between three doctors each working 0.5 FTE

and a variety of locum doctors from outside the area that travel to Kaslo to pick up the additional hours.

Ideally, the doctors would split the on-call work, however it’s become obvious to Interior Heath that that isn’t happening.

This year the emergency department has been closed 60 times because doctors or nurses were unavailable.

Stewart said rather than having an infrequent and unreliable emergency service — and exhausted doctors — it makes more sense to strengthen the daytime service.

“The time that doctors would have spent in emergency will instead be spent in clinic during the day,” he explained.

Stewart said most people who use the emergency room aren’t actually facing emergency situations. And when an emergency does occur, he said, BC Ambulance can transport people to the hospital in Nelson or Trail.

“It’s understandable that people who are used to having ready access to an emergency department wouldn’t find that to be a good alternative,” he acknowledged.

Indeed, some 300 people from Kaslo and the surrounding communities attended a public meeting with Interior Health on Thursday night.

The vast majority did not support the reduction in ER hours.

Kaslo Mayor Greg Lay, who organized the meeting, said he and fellow residents were upset that Interior Health came to them after the decision was already made, rather than consulting with them earlier.

“I’m a little resentful, frankly, that we’re being told what we need by so-called experts,” Lay said.

“We’re the experts because we live here. Interior Health is treating us like peasants out on the countryside, like we don’t know what’s good for us.”

Under the agreement Teck stated some hazardous substances in the slag and effluent discharged from the Teck Trail Operations between 1896 and 1995 ended up in the Upper Columbia River in the U.S. Acting Mayor Sean Mackinlay said at one time everything got thrown into the river— including waste from the City of Trail—so there has been that kind of impact on the ecosystem.

He noted that Teck was now publicly committed to remedying any environmental problems from the past, including the slag that has built up in Lake Roosevelt.

“At present, with what we have been looking at from studies, the fish and the water habitat in that area is actually some of the best in all of the

state of Washington, so it is relatively quite clean,” he said.

“Of course, we would have hoped there had been no slag at all, but that’s an impossibility.”

Mackinlay discussed the situation last week with Teck’s communications manager Richard Deane and the company expressed ongoing commitment any cleanup that needed to get done would, in fact, be completed.

And given that council was responsible for the health and safety of the community, DeRosa was satisfied the Silver City’s citizens were safe.

“I haven’t heard anything about a rise in cases in Trail,” he said.

“If Interior Health had any concerns they would have let us know about it. Ultimately, that is their job.”

Movie night set new mark for Food Bank

BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff

The fifth annual family movie night in Haley Park earned over 1,600 pounds of food for the Salvation Army Food Bank in Trail and $210 in cash donations—the most food ever collected at a movie night.

Despite a drop of roughly 300 people, the Kootenay Savings family movie night on Sept.

7 was a huge success.

Since the first movie night in Trail during 2008 the events gained popularity each year, and last year officials recorded roughly 4,000 people attending the fundraiser across all three participating communities—Trail, Kimberley and Nakusp.

This year nearly 3,500 people of all ages attended the annual event in communities like Kimberley, Trail and Nakusp.

“Each year the sight of all the people flowing into the parks with bags of food to donate never gets old,” said Aron Burke, community relations coordinator for Kootenay Savings.

“It really is heart-warming to see how caring people are, and how appreciative the food banks are in return.”

The Nakusp Food Bank raised 300 pounds of food and $420 in cash for the Protecting Animal Life Society. In Kimberley, the Helping Hands Food Bank raised $2,500 worth of food and $160 in cash donations.

PROVINCIAL

Deal aimed at fast-tracking natural gas exports THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - The B.C. government has struck a deal with the Haisla First Nation that the province says could help fast track a liquefied natural gas plant near Kitimat.

The agreement would allow the purchase or lease of land that will enable the Haisla to work with the industry to develop both the plant and an export terminal on Douglas Channel.

The deal is part of the B.C. government’s natural gas strategy launched last year that would see three plants built on the coast to develop liquefied natural gas for export to Asia.

Aboriginal Relations Minister Ida Chong said the deal is the key to unlocking a whole new natural gas export industry in the province.

In its jobs plan, the government committed to having three terminals running by 2020, and said the plan could create more than 1,400 jobs and generate $600 billion in economic activity over three decades.

Rich Coleman, the minister in charge of natural gas in the province,

said in a news release the agreement is part of the foundation for the government’s jobs plan. “Today’s framework agreement is another step towards our goal of developing a liquefied natural gas industry which will create economic opportunities for our entire province.�

The agreement with the Haisla would allow for the lease or sale of up to 700 hectares of Crown land near the Douglas Channel by the District of Kitimat, on B.C.’s northern coast. Haisla Nation Chief Coun.

Ellis Ross said the agreement gives the First Nation the certainty it was looking for around the government’s LNG proposals. “If we are able to do this, the Haisla people will benefit, as will all British Columbians and Canadians,� he said in a news release.

When Premier Christy Clark announced the plan for three LNG plants earlier this year, she said the operations could contribute nearly $2 billion annually to provincial revenues.

Cops credit 13-year-old for thwarting abduction THE CANADIAN PRESS QUESNEL, B.C. - A quickthinking teenaged girl stopped an elderly woman from trying to abduct a seven-year-old boy in British Columbia’s Cariboo region, say police.

RCMP Const. Krista Vrolyk said the boy was with other youth and a parent in Spirit Square in the downtown core of Quesnel, 672 kilometres north of Vancouver, when the incident occurred just before 10 p.m. Thursday.

The woman tried to shake the boy’s hand, but grabbed him by the wrist and pull him

towards a nearby pickup truck, said Vrolyk.

That’s when the teenaged girl, the boy’s 13-year-old friend, took action. “It just so happened that the 13-year-old was a little bit closer and kind of quick to act,� said Vrolyk.

She said the girl, who is of slight stature and thin, physically pulled the boy away from the woman. “Her concern for her little buddy is what motivated her to step in and take action,� said Vrolyk.

Smuggler ‘expels’ 66 cocaine-filled condoms

BY TRACY HOLMES Peace Arch News

A 35-year-old man is facing smuggling charges after 66 condoms filled with suspected cocaine was “expelled� from a traveller who raised suspicions at the Pacific Highway border.

The seizure was the second of its kind – from an “internal carrier� – in the Pacific Region

this year, Supt. Matt Jollymore of Canada Border Services Agency said Friday.

A man carrying 42 condoms filled with 1.2 kilograms of liquid cocaine was intercepted at the Vancouver airport in April.

The latest arrest and charges came about after a routine examination of passengers on a northbound

Through a more in-depth, secondary exam, officers determined the man may have ingested narcotics.

Arrested and escorted to hospital, the traveller was monitored in a controlled environment and eventually passed 66 condoms filled with a combined 765 grams

of suspected cocaine, Jollymore said.

Each package weighed approximately 11 grams.

Jollymore would not disclose where the accused is from but said the bus in question arrived at the border from Seattle and was destined for Vancouver.

He described the practice of smuggling narcotics internally as “an extreme risk.�

Vrolyk said the woman, who has yet to be named and was scheduled to appear in court Friday, is of no fixed address and has no criminal record.

Polls give Conservatives an edge heading into fall session THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - A quiet summer has given Prime Minister Stephen Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Conservatives some breathing room as they head Monday into what could be an acrimonious fall sitting of Parliament.

A new poll gives the governing party a seven-point lead over the Opposition New Democrats - a cushion they may need if a second omnibus budget implementation bill sparks the same public backlash and all-out parliamentary warfare its predecessor did last spring.

The Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey, which was conducted Aug. 30-Sept. 10, put Conservative support at 34 per cent of respondents, the NDP at 27, the Liberals at 24 and the Greens at seven.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/ADRIAN WYLD

House of Commons maintenance staff Andre Dube prepares the chamber for the return of Parliament in Ottawa on Friday.

The telephone poll of 2,007 Canadians is considered accurate within plus or minus 2.2 percentage points, 19 times in 20.

The results suggest Canadians may be slowly returning to â&#x20AC;&#x153;more traditional patterns of voting behaviour,â&#x20AC;? said

Harris-Decima chairman Allan Gregg.

Until now, New Democrats had been running neck and neck with - or even slightly ahead of - the ruling party, eating into core Conservative support among older, male and rural voters and core

Liberal support among female and urban voters.

The latest poll suggests those voters are migrating back to their traditional choices, said Gregg, causing NDP support to sag and producing modest gains for the Conservatives

and Liberals.

A relatively sleepy summer with little federal political controversy has likely helped settle voters back into a somewhat more traditional pattern. But Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resumption of Parliament could shake things up again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we know, the House has become a combat zone and, absent that, things do settle down; there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t those events that drive peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s change in viewpoint as much,â&#x20AC;?

Gregg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that conventional wisdom is right, that Parliament and Parliament sitting is the enemy of the incumbent.â&#x20AC;?

Just how much of an enemy Parliament proves to be to Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Conservatives will revolve primarily around the second

Feds end asbestos fight

Teacher fired for zeros

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL - The federal government has tossed in the towel and will stop fighting international efforts to list asbestos as a dangerous substance, striking another blow to a once-mighty Canadian industry now on the verge of extinction.

In a sudden reversal for the Harper government, Industry Minister Christian Paradis said Ottawa will no longer oppose efforts to include asbestos to the UNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rotterdam treaty on hazardous materials.

For Paradis, the announcement Friday was far from celebratory.

He hails from central Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asbestos belt and is one of the sectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staunchest defenders. Paradis looked glum and spoke in a nearly hushed tone as he spoke in his hometown of Thetford Mines, a community still dotted with

imposing tailing piles that remind locals of the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s once-bustling heyday. He blamed the new Parti Quebecois provincial government for killing the industry and cast Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move as an inevitable response.

The PQ has said it will cancel a $58 million loan, confirmed just a few months ago by the previous Liberal provincial government.

The cash was aimed at reviving what would be the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only asbestos operation in Asbestos, a 90-minute drive from Thetford Mines.

Paradis took direct aim at the sovereigntist PQ and blamed it for the turn of events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First off Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to remind you that Pauline Marois, the premierdesignate of Quebec, has clearly stated her intention to forbid chrysotile exploitation in Quebec,â&#x20AC;? he said in his opening remarks.

Lynden Dorval was suspended with pay from Ross Sheppard High School in May for insubordination. His school, Ross Sheppard, has a policy of giving students an incomplete for assignments not handed in or missed tests, but Dorval refused to follow it.

Dorval said he received a special courier delivery Friday afternoon with a letter from the superintendent of Edmonton Public Schools saying his contract will be terminated in 30 days.

The teacher said he tried to prepare for the worst, but it has finally hit him that he is out of a job.

Real economic battle isn’t austerity versus stimulus

P

olitics today seems stuck. And voters are stuck with it.

Endless deficits, mounting public debt and the worries of credit rating agencies seems to argue for cutbacks in programs, cutbacks in government employment, along with other forms of austerity.

Meanwhile, crumbling infrastructure, stubborn unemployment, and a lack of economic growth seem to call out for stimulus programs and more government spending to get things moving again.

Just look at Europe.

Europeans elect governments that promise to stimulate, and they get austerity instead.

They elect governments that promise austerity, and the spending never actually reverses.

And the problems just keep building.

It is the same for most of the world, but what about Canada?

Does Canada need to stop spending money it doesn’t have? Of course it does. We could choose to tax ourselves to find the money - although increasing taxes will slow

the economy. Or we could cut spending to get rid of the deficits - although that, too, will slow the economy.

Without growth, though, the growing debt becomes more and more of a burden.

Ask Ontario, where making interest payments on the accumulated pile competes heavily with education for second-place, behind health, in government spending.

Ask the United States, where 100 per cent of the operating budget (things that aren’t interest payments or entitlements) now has to be borrowed each year (and what happens when the world doesn’t want to lend $1.6 trillion a year to your country any longer or, even worse, doesn’t have it to lend?)

But austerity vs. stimulus isn’t the real battle, despite what you’d think listening to politicians.

It’s about the dead weight of the past vs. creating the future.

What’s that dead weight?

It’s regulations that preserve the existing players and make innovative newcomers a problem.

(Regulations that level the

BRUCE

STEWART Troy Media

playing field and apply equally are fine; regulations that are expensive to comply with if you’re small cripple entrepreneurs while maintaining the existing leaders, who can afford it.)

It’s management practices - like supply management in Canada, or the common agricultural policy in Europe - designed to limit markets.

It’s a tax code riddled with deductions, allowances and credits that preserve the status quo (and require professional help if you’re trying to make ordinary decisions about whether to take one course of action or another).

It’s a tax scheme that taxes the wrong things,

holding back tomorrow in the process.

It’s redistribution schemes - equalization, welfare, etc. - that are a part of providing for the less well-off but are expensive to operate, don’t deliver enough to those who need it for the money spent, and create perverse outcomes.

It’s attempts to manage government costs by restricting supply - as we do in medical care, where we limit licences to practice, restrict where facilities will be built and how they’ll be equipped, among others - instead of following the example set by France and 14 U.S. states, where anyone with qualifications can open a medical care facility and compete for clients, thereby reducing costs.

We tend to focus on silly things, like the cost of expanding House of Commons by 30 MPs. The cost of Parliament is actually 1/100 of 1 per cent of the federal budget, including the gold-plated pension obligations), instead of on the serious matters of restructuring our public sector and services for the 21st century.

Maybe it’s time for a paradigm shift.

Maybe, just maybe, we’d be better off with guaranteed annual incomes they’d make it easier to be an entrepreneur, thus create our own work - while paying something toward our non-catastrophic health care.

Maybe we’d be better off with less “free trade” between nations and more of it between provinces.

Maybe we’d be better off with more consumption taxes and less taxing of incomes.

Maybe we don’t need lower corporate taxes per se, but a real difference between being big and being small in business.

In other words, getting a country that works for tomorrow isn’t our politicians’ responsibility - it’s ours. It’s time to get together with our neighbours and start telling the people we elect what to do.

If we don’t - we’ll get austerity and stimulus, no growth, and less of a future.

LETTERS & OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

When greed takes over Professional sport players are entertainers with big contracts like movie stars. The difference, however, is that the player not only earns large amounts of money, he also faced carreer-ending injuries during the performance of his sport.

I must agree with Mr. Bertrand’s editorial in Thursday’s Trail Times, addressing the current NHL dispute.

I would like to go a bit back to the years, when the former players and superstars scratched up the ice.

How they must feel

now, when they realize how they were treated by the greedy owners.

Let’s take the case of the Hall of Famer, Mr. Gordon Howe, who was assured by the Detroit owner, that he would also be their highest paid player on the Red Wings. Gordie earned $40,000 per season.

When Bobby Baun was traded to the Wings, he related to Gordie that his contract paid him $80,000.

In comparison to such amounts, at that time, the average worker earned between

$2,000 and $4,000 annually. It was considered big money the players received.

The gradual explosion of player earnings started with the start of the WHA and the signing bonus of $1 million Bobby Hull received in Winnipeg. The hockey world was stunned.

The honeymoon for the owners was over.

Player earnings skyrocketed like unwanted weeds. The ever-escalating earnings were on the way to grow out of proportion. The situation had to come to a head.

Again, like in 2004, the valuable praised fans face another winter without their favoured sport. Canada is the main breeding ground for NHL talent. The faithful fans are paying outrageous ticket prices in the super modern new arenas.

In the current dispute, however, the praised, valuable fan is totally being ignored.

It is disgusting how the Canadian national game is being directed and manipulated by foreign interests.

– itself a powerful greenhouse gas – and the methane that is often buried with it, contribute to global warming. Burning natural gas and the industrial activity required to extract and transport it also contribute to increased greenhouse gas emissions.

As McKibben notes, the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research concluded that switching to natural gas “would do little to help solve the climate problem.”

More than anything, continued and increasing investment in natural gas extraction and infrastructure will slow investment in, and transition to, renewable energy.

Would companies that build gas-fired power plants be willing to shut them down, or pay the high cost of capturing and storing carbon, as the world gets serious about the need to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions? Just as fossil fuels from conventional sources are finite and are becoming depleted, those from difficult sources will also run out. If we put all our energy and resources into continued fossil fuel extraction, we will have lost an opportunity to have invested in renewable energy.

If we want to address global warming, along with the other environmental problems associated with our continued rush to burn our precious fossil fuels as quickly as possible, we must learn to use our resources more wisely, kick our addiction, and quickly start turning to sources of energy that have fewer negative impacts.

Palace seeks injunction over Kate photos THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON - Lawyers for Britain’s royal family will go to court in France on Monday in a bid to stop further publication in that country of topless photos of William’s wife Kate, the prince’s office said Sunday, as the owners of an Irish newspaper criticized it for running the pictures.

St. James’s Palace said lawyers would seek an injunction in a Paris court against Italian media group Mondadori, which publishes France’s Closer and Italy’s Chi gossip magazines.

The palace also will seek damages from the publisher, which is owned by former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi.

Last week Closer published paparazzi snaps of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, sunbathing during a holiday at a relative’s chateau in Provence.

Chi says it will publish 26 pages of the images taken with a long lens from hundreds of meters (yards) away - on Monday.

The Irish Daily Star reproduced the Closer photos on Saturday, but no British publication has run them, and Britain’s tabloids have lined up to denounce them as an invasion of the duchess’ privacy.

The palace condemned publication of the images and said it was considering “all proportionate responses” against Chi, though no decision has been made on legal action against it or the Irish Daily Star.

Woman who was cut in half to remove cancer now wants to be a teacher

PETER LOUGHEED

Tributes pour in for former Alberta premier THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - Flags flew at half-mast, a vase of white roses stood beneath his legislature portrait and tributes from across the country poured in Friday for former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed.

Leaders, including Prime Minister Stephen Harper, lauded Lougheed as a visionary who fought hard for Alberta’s rights, but who also advocated for a strong Canada.

“This is the loss of a truly great man and that is an overused phrase in our business in politics, but Peter Lougheed was truly a giant - obviously a giant of our province, but also of our country,” Harper said while in southern Quebec.

Lougheed, who was premier from 1971 to 1985, died Thursday night at the age of 84 in the Calgary hospital that bears his name.

The Calgary-born lawyer leaves behind a profound record of achievement and influence on public policy.

He took the reins of the fledgling Progressive Conservatives in 1965 and within six years had built a party that turfed a decadesold Social Credit dynasty and launched one of his own that continues to this day.

As oil prices shot to stratospheric levels in the 1970s, Lougheed became a provincial folk hero and a nationally recognized figure for his epic battles with Ottawa over control of Alberta’s black gold.

He kick-started petroleum diversification by nurturing oilsands development which now sprawls throughout northern Alberta, has brought the province billions of dollars and made it the economic driver of the country.

He fostered arts, culture and tourism and took the legislature into the modern age of communication.

Former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed, died Thursday in the Calgary hospital bearing his name.

He created a multibilliondollar nest egg Heritage Savings Trust Fund as oil revenue began to pour in and championed medical research.

He helped patriate the Constitution and fought for a notwithstanding clause to ensure Canada would ultimately be governed by legislators and not the courts.

He championed bilingualism and in retirement spoke out against the Kyoto accord to control greenhouse gases, but urged caution over the environmental effects from unbridled growth of the oilsands.

He has served as mentor and role model for a generation of politicians, including

Redford announced she would return home early from a trade mission to China.

“We lost a great Canadian and a great Albertan, the most influential and important in our province’s history,” Redford said in an audio posting to her Facebook page.

“Peter Lougheed was a visionary, an inspirational leader who forged a path for success and prosperity in our province that is unmatched and will be enjoyed by generations to come.”

She also announced that Lougheed’s body will lie in state in the rotunda of the Alberta legislature on Monday and Tuesday to give Albertans

a chance to say goodbye.

Redford had known Lougheed from her earliest days in politics and has often spoken of him as a mentor.

Plans for a public memorial were expected in the coming days.

The condolences and remembrances from political leaders to people in the street seemed countless.

Added Harper: “I obviously will miss him as an adviser that I greatly respected.

“I can’t say enough about what he has contributed. It’s just one of those times when it really makes you sit back and look at the great sweep of history and what has been achieved and, in particular, to admire Peter Lougheed’s role in all of that.”

In Calgary, Colleen Klein, wife to former Alberta premier Ralph Klein, said her husband developed a bond with Lougheed even before Klein became premier in 1992.

“Ralph often reflected on their relationship built during the time they worked together as mayor of Calgary and premier of Alberta to bring the 1988 Olympic Winter Games to Calgary and make these games a tremendous success,” she said.

She spoke for the family as Klein is battling a form of dementia.

Lougheed’s body was expected to arrive at the provincial legislature building in Edmonton last night.

A motorcade with the hearse made the trip from Calgary to Edmonton on Sunday afternoon.

His casket will be in the rotunda of the legislature building for public viewing on Monday and Tuesday.

Lougheed’s family has said that it will hold a private funeral, and a public memorial service is being planned.

Manitoba Health covered Ollson’s expenses.

leg, part of her pelvis and lower spine took 20 hours, 12 specialists and 20 units of blood.

A second surgery, to put her back together, took eight hours and more than 240 staples.

Ollson became the first person to receive a “pogo stick” rebuild, with her one good leg fused to her body close to her centre, with the reshaped bone from the amputated leg.

(From right) Developer Robert Felsch invited key contributors such as course designer Les Furber, longtime member Roger McKeown, Teck’s Roger Belland, and Redstone golf course manager Cary Fisher for the grand opening of the Redstone Resort Golf Course in Rossland Friday afternoon.

Redstone celebrates development

BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor

The sun was shining on Redstone Resort Golf Course Friday, a perfect day for a ceremony celebrating its grand opening.

While golfers have enjoyed a version of the remarkable alpine course since 1922, Redstone marked its official grand opening of its 18-hole course Friday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and unveiling of a plaque to recognize its founders and 90-year evolution.

With special guests, such as worldrenowned course designer Les Furber on hand for the ceremony, the ribbon was cut by senior member 91-year-old Roger McKeown and the marble plaque placed in the ground at the same spot as the original first tee.

Furber, a Saskatchewan native, joined Redstone developer Robert Felsch, Teck representative Roger Belland, course manager Cary Fisher, representatives from Trail and Rossland council, and senior club members McKeown and Bill Vickers for the ceremony.

While the 18-hole version has been open for play for a few years now, the Redstone executive wanted to wait until the course had matured and was playing its best before having a ceremony.

Originally the course was just fiveholes carved out of the terrain near the “water hole” on the Rossland hill across from the old Milk Creek Dairy, and the golf club formed as the Rossland-Trail

Country Club.

Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company rented the land to the golf course for $1 per year at the time, and Cominco (now Teck) eventually sold the land to the Redstone developer in 2006.

The Australian born Felsch then teamed up with Furber’s Golf Design Services out of Canmore, Alta. to transform the ninehole course into the 18-hole dreamscape it is today.

“We headed out and had a look at his courses that were in driving distance,” said Fisher. “He’s fairly prolific in B.C. and Alberta for designing courses and we just liked his attitude about listening to some of the suggestions we had. The biggest things here are the greens, number one, are fantastic and the views. You can take a postcard picture from any hole and it’s beautiful.”

Furber has been involved in the golf construction and design business throughout Europe and North America for more than 50 years, including some of the best courses in B.C. -most notably Predator Ridge and Gallagher’s Canyon near Kelowna.

His favourite and more challenging projects have been working in difficult mountain terrain.

“I’m always extremely excited to work in an alpine setting, to create golf that’s really taking nature and softening it so that we can play golf in it,” said Furber.

“All we really did was carve the existing trees out of the topography and we ended

up with beautiful golf holes.”

The name change to Redstone is a combination of the historic Red Mountain development and the course’s early golf pro and organizer Reg Stone.

Esteemed members McKeown and Vickers are representative of arguably the most vital element of any golf course - its members - and were an important part in the development and organization of the course over the years.

“The course really is its members and what those members do for us is so important,” said Felsch, who also recognized former land owner Teck for its support for the golf course and the communities.

Redstone adds a unique golfing destination to the West Kootenay, complimenting other local courses such as Birchbank, Champion Lakes and Castlegar and offering another attraction that can only benefit Rossland and the Greater Trail area as a whole.

“The official opening like this just make us realize what we have here, and how we should be very appreciative of those who made it work,” said Rossland Mayor Greg Granstrom.

“Mr. Furber built a golf course in the valley here that is second to none. The old nine was very interesting, very challenging - of course we all miss the old rope tow - but what Mr. Furber’s done is remarkable and it’s certainly a world class golf course and a great asset to the community.”

1922 ARTICLE REVEALS REDSTONE’S MODEST BEGINNINGS Country Club to be established The Rossland Miner, May 11, 1922.

Actual work in clearing the ground and getting the site generally in shape for the new Country Club house, has been commenced, the executive of the organization having decided on the plans for the clubhouse premises on the Floyd ranch on the Trail road just a short distance below the city.

Lovers of tennis and golf declare the site is an ideal one for the sport. Workers are making good progress in getting

the grounds in shape, and golfers may expect to be in the enjoyment of the sport ere long.

A tennis committee has been named and lovers of this form of outdoor sport will be able to enjoy games on the ground at the club before a great while, it is thought.

The clubhouse will be modern in every respect, with a large lounging room, verandah about the entire building, ladies and gentlemen’s restrooms and buffet appointments, as well as lockers for the

golf and tennis players, it is said.

To give a better idea of the style of the architecture of the clubhouse, the main room will be 20X20 feet in size, well lighted and will contain a large open fire place. The club premises will be lighted by electricity and water will be piped for use at the place and keeping the grounds in good shape. There are about 40 acres in the track. A nine-hole course will be laid out for the golfers.

The site has been donated by the CM&S at a nominal rental of $1/ year.

The Trail Smoke Eaters picked up its first two points of the season Friday toppling the Prince George Spruce Kings 4-3 in overtime, before going down to the Merritt Centennials 6-2 on Saturday.

Trail captain Garrett McMullen scored twice including the OT winner, when he corralled a clearing attempt and rifled a wrist shot past startled Spruce Kings goalie Liam McLeod.

Prince George jumped out into a 2-0 lead, but the Smokies responded on McMullen’s first goal of the night, as he blasted in a behind the net pass from Scotty Davidson to make it 2-1.

The Kings would make it 3-1 heading into the third, but an inspiring five-on-three penalty kill by Trail at the beginning of the period, gave them confidence.

Tanner Clarkson stepped up and put the Smokies within one a minute after the penalty kill, and Shane Poulsen tied it mid-way through the third before McMullen would end it in overtime.

While the Smokies didn’t generate any goals on three power play opportunities, their PK was much improved, as the Kings went 0-for-6 with the man advantage.

Lyndon Stanwood got the start in net and the victory, stopping 28 shots, while Trail fired 24 at McLeod. Poulsen was named the games first star and McMullen the game’s second star.

However, success on the penalty kills seen in Prince George, seemed to abandon Trail on Saturday as the Centennials capitalized on 3-of8 for the 6-2 victory.

McMullen opened the scoring with his fourth of the season, but the Cents would score five unanswered goals before Brandon Egli added his first of the season on assists from Tyler Berkoltz and new acquisition Connor Collett late in the third period.

Former Smoke Eater Dane Birks scored twice and picked up an assist for Merritt, and was named first star as the Cents outshot the Smokies 41-31. Stanwood took the loss in goal but was named the game’s third star.

Trail plays its first home game on Friday against the West Kelowna Warriors at 7:30 p.m. at the Trail Memorial Centre.

KIJHL

Hawks split, lose in OT

BY TIMES STAFF

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks did something they haven’t done in a very long time, they lost to the Grand Forks Border Bruins 3-2 in overtime.

Bruins goaltender Robert Dunsmuir stopped 44 of 46 shots and Chris Osellame scored just over a minute into the overtime frame on a power play to equal the number of games won by Grand Forks all of last season.

A holding penalty 36 seconds into the OT period put the Bruins on the man advantage, and Osellame made no mistake converting a Tyler Wagner pass to beat Nitehawks netminder Dominic Stadnyk.

The Hawks took a second period 2-1 lead on goals by Brandon Butlin and Luke Reimer, but Kublia Barlas notched his second of the night to tie it with 2:44 left to play in the third period.

The Nitehawks won the opening match on Friday 5-0 with Zach Perehudoff stopping 28 shots to earn the shutout.

Connor BrownMaloski and Nick Perez each added a goal and an assist for the Hawks while Brad Gaboury, Danny Vlanich and Kurt Black rounded out the scoring.

The Hawks play the Rebels in Castlegar Friday and again in the Hawks nest Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

SPORTS NHL

LPGA BRITISH OPEN

Lockout begins Job losses just the tip of the iceberg for NHL cities THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - Hockey fans were holding onto the possibility over the weekend the NHL lockout could come to a quick end, despite little sign of progress in the negotiations.

The NHL closed its doors at midnight Saturday and there were no formal talks between the league and its players in the final three days before the previous agreement expired.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second lockout in seven years and the fourth work stoppage in two decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame, because in the end itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the fans that are the biggest losers,â&#x20AC;? said 54-year-old JeanPierre Lacombe outside the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.

William Gainsbury, who works at the parking lot across from the Montreal Canadiensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; arena, the Bell Centre, remains optimistic both sides will step up and work out an agreement before games get cancelled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully the players and the owners, with all their lawyers and personnel, can work it out,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Gainsbury said his job is safe, but other staff will see their shifts trimmed back if the lot ends up empty during the normally bustling hockey season.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the tip of the iceberg.

An extended lockout would hurt the bottom line in businesses across the country, from hotels to merchandise stores.

Cleophad Lobnson, a Montreal taxi driver, said he depends on Habs games for much of his business during the winter months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On game nights it brings in a lot of people from the city, and from outside the city,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Katharine Galaher, a fan in Toronto, said the league should remember people who work in bars and restaurants that make their money off hockey

games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need to think of the well-being of everyone else thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s losing their jobs for the season,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The prospect of having the regular season start as scheduled on Oct. 11 is less and less likely with each passing day.

The first exhibition games could be scrapped next week.

Brandon Bryant, a 41-year-old in Toronto, said he usually hosts special gatherings to watch hockey games. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in jeopardy now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hurts a lot,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live for hockey season and look forward to it during the off-season and the owners are putting that at risk now.â&#x20AC;?

Gainsbury said his appreciation for the NHL has gone sour in recent years as salaries and ticket prices have continued to climb. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become too corporate,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that people these days really feel that their team appreciates them as much as they appreciate their team.â&#x20AC;?

Rhys Finnick, who works at the Sports Junkies sporting goods store in Vancouver, blamed the owners for the unrest and called them greedy.

But regardless of how the dispute plays out, he said his passion for the game will stick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m becoming less and less of a fan of the NHL concerning the business side of it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always watch it no matter what. They could lock out for 10 years and as soon as they start playing again, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to watch the first game.â&#x20AC;?

A lockout in 1994-95 forced the cancellation of 468 games, delaying the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start until Jan. 20.

The 2004 lockout began Sept. 16 and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t settled until July 13 - making the NHL the first North American sports league to ever cancel an entire season over a labour dispute.

An 11-day strike in April 1992 also caused 30 games to be postponed.

contrast to her win last week, when she outlasted Paula Creamer at the Kingsmill Championship in the longest playoff between two players in LPGA Tour history. That duel stretched into Monday, before Shin won on the ninth playoff hole.

This time, she was the only player to finish below par, with fellow South Korean golfer Inbee Park second with a 288.

Karrie Webb of New Zealand had put herself in contention with a 68 in the morning but finished with an 82 for a tie for fifth place, 12 shots back.

It was her second British Open title in five years, after she won at Sunningdale in 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a long, very, very tough day out there,â&#x20AC;? Shin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I kept my focus and concentrated on every shot, and when I made the winning putt, it was great.

Can we change who we are? Please do not suggest counseling. -- Too Clean, Too Fearful Dear Too Clean: You can change if you are motivated to do so. We aren’t concerned about your clean house. You may be a little more attentive than most people, but it doesn’t sound as if your cleanliness is out of control. Your fear of highway travel, however, is an anxiety issue. A combination of therapy and medication is quite effective, but since you are not interested in therapy, look into alternative treatments such as relaxation techniques, acupuncture and yoga.

Dear Annie: Tell “Going in Circles in the Circle City” to run as fast as he can and never look back. His situation with a jealous girlfriend is toxic.

I was married to a jealous woman for nearly 40 years, and it was hell on earth. It’s a mystery why we stayed together, and I feel I wasted all those years.

My wife passed away, and I wish I could say a bunch of nice things about our marriage, but it would be one gigantic lie.

If you want to live a life of torture, your stomach in knots, constant phone calls, having to justify going to the store, go right ahead and marry that

otherwise lovely companion. I can tell you from personal experience that the jealousy never ends. It’s like an incurable disease. For the sake of his health and welfare, he should take a fast hike. -- Paul from Pennsylvania

Dear Paul: Extreme jealousy can make any relationship toxic, but it is usually rooted in insecurity, and sometimes counseling can help.

Dear Annie: Am I strange? I like to keep my house clean and neat. In addition, I check for items that may need fixing so the house is not in disrepair. Although friends and family think I am “anal,” I do not feel that I am obsessive.

I also have many fears, some of which are entirely baseless. I am in anguish if I have to travel on a highway, imagining worst-case scenarios. Five years ago, my husband and I started driving 1,500 miles for our winter vacation. (Flying is too expensive.) With speed limits up to 70 mph, I am scared out of my mind. Last year, on the day of our trip, I awoke with a migraine and started to vomit.

Another trip is coming up in the fall. I might as well have a heart attack and get it over with.

I believe I inherited this type of thinking from my mother. I am sure that I am not alone with these problems.

YOUR HOROSCOPE

By Francis Drake For Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel unusually rebellious today. (I say “unusually” because you feel rebellious all the time!) Don’t do anything you will later regret.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A vague, restless energy within you might push you to reconsider certain life-belief systems. Or you might be taking a new point of view about religion, philosophy or politics.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your approach to friends and groups is changing quite radically. You like to have an adoring peanut gallery, but lately, their changing membership makes life even more fresh and exciting!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Tread softly when dealing with authority figures now, because you are a bit much

for them to handle. You feel rebellious and independent!

(You know who you are.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) For a while now, you have been changing your loyalties regarding religion, politics and even countries.

It’s just what is happening.

Ultimately, it will be for the better.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Surprises or upsets with shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt are unavoidable, it seems. Just ride this one out and things will be OK. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Certain aspects of your closest friendships and partnerships are changing now, but they are changing for the better. You also feel more free and more like yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Through self-employment or changes in your job, you

feel more free and more in charge of what you are doing. Many of you even feel younger!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Radical ways to approach vacations, romance and your creative expression are very exciting for you now. Your life is opening up in a wonderful, playful way!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) For some time now, chang-

es taking place at home have been unpredictable, yet they were changes that lead to more freedom for you. Now that you have this freedom, you can’t go back.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) By nature, you are modern and revolutionary. But even for you, you’ve been more daring and bold about going after what you want on a daily basis.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) New ways of earning money, especially through self-employment, offer dazzling opportunities for you now. Be brave and grab them! Don’t create a situation in which you will regret what you didn’t do.

YOU BORN TODAY You are serious and often reclusive.

In particular, you’re secretive about your personal life. You are passionate about your
