New drug store stocking its shelves

Pharmasave aiming for opening by month’s end

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

The former Movie Gallery locale in downtown Trail is a flurry of activity with workers readying the space for the upcoming grand opening of a new drug store later this month.

Ferraro’s Pharmasave, currently located in the grocery store, will soon make its move just a few doors down into the renovated building.

Pharmasave will be expanding its services to include home health care products, such as walkers, lift chairs and bathroom safety equipment. The store will also be stocking a wide range of natural and organic products, including Sisu vitamins, a high quality natural health product.

Lee Boyer, pharmacist and partner in the store, is passionate about starting pharmaceutical compounding, a service not available in the previous store.

“There are some patients who don’t respond to traditional methods of treatment, and compounding is about solving these sorts of problems,” he said.

The 7,000-square-foot historical building, located on the corner of Cedar Avenue and Eldorado Street, was updated into a ‘green’ space.

The décor includes modern eco-friendly LED lighting, and a reconditioned terrazzo floor that was original to the landmark site.

“The floor is original and dates back to the 1950’s when the Hudson Bay store was in here,” explained Danny Ferraro, a partner from Ferraro Foods.

Tim Moorhead, also a partner in the business, recently moved back to

Carolyn Ferraro readies the shelves with products for the new Pharmasave location in downtown Trail.

Trail, after leaving in 1986 for Vancouver.

After a career in the offices of Pharmasave Pacific, Moorhead is looking forward to working for himself, almost right back to where he first began.

“When I was a kid, I worked for my uncle right across the street from here, when it was Western Drug Mart.”

Boyer, a graduate from

L.V. Rogers Secondary School in Nelson, left the Kootenays to study at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., where he earned his B.Sc. Biochemistry degree.

After Boyer received his master’s degree in Biochemistry from McGill University in Montreal, he began a career in science and research.

“I wanted to move back

to B.C. with my wife and start a family,” he said.

“Research was very interesting, but I wanted a career change.”

After graduating from the UBC pharmacy program in 2007, Boyer began working at Ferraro Foods.

“My patients continually express their appreciation for my involvement in their care, and that motivates me to do better.”

Boyer and partners are looking forward to having more space to work in, and are taking this opportunity to create a new, different and special environment for their customers.

“Currently the pharmacy is breaking at its seams, more and more people are visiting the pharmacy, and we are running out of space to store medications and to consult with our customers.”

Boyer hopes to use the extra space to give educational seminars to the public and host guest speakers.

“My goal is to educate the community in different and unique ways, and foster the discussion of health care issues, and the sharing of experiences.”

James Ferraro is hopeful that the new store will add to the revitalization in downtown Trail.

“Our company believes in the great opportunities that downtown Trail has to offer.

We hope that other business will join in to create a more diverse shopping experience in our city’s core,” commented Ferraro.

The extra space that Ferraro Foods will soon have will be put to tasty use.

Once the pharmacy has moved, Ferraro Foods will be adding a new feature to the foodie shopper’s list.

“We are going to use that space to expand into a full service imported cheese section.”

Funding comes through for La Nina shelter

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

With its targeted opening date less than two weeks away, the La Nina homeless shelter project finally received word Monday of its funding from the B.C. Housing Organization.

And with evening temperatures dropping and winter creeping in, the funding came just in time for the proposed Nov. 19 opening.

For the 2012 season, the homeless shelter is approved for $50,000, said Keith Simmonds, diaconal minister from the Trail United Church.

“Once again, we need to establish a baseline of what the needs are,” he explained.

The process to receive the funds involves filling out daily reports and submitting them to the government, detailing how many patrons have used the shelter. Based on this information, BC Housing issues a bi-weekly cheque to cover the costs of housing the needy each night.

Now that money is secured, the shelter, located in the basement of the United Church on Pine Ave., can open on its midNovember date and close at the end of March.

The church will open a six-bed shelter, with the expectation that at least four beds will be filled nightly, as in the 2011 season.

“We will be open from 9 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. every day until the end of the season. We are hoping each person will be in the hands of an outreach worker by then, with a plan for the rest of the day.”

This year, Career Development Services (CDS) took the reins and is working in partnership with the United Church.

“The relationship with CDS only makes sense. They have a homelessness outreach worker program, and working knowledge of the community,” added Simmonds.

He stressed that most of the people requiring a bed are host to very complex situations.

“There is usually a medical health diagnosis, which may include mental health issues, or even brain injury. The CDS have workers to help tackle these difficult situations.”

Repeated calls to the CDS were not returned by press time. CDS provides support, assistance and advocacy to persons who face significant barriers to employment.

TRAIL –The Rotary Club of Trail, like many other service clubs in the world, may be diminishing in numbers, but it hasn’t diminished in enthusiasm.

Along with Rossland, Beaver Valley, Waneta Sunrise and some 32,000 other Rotary clubs in the world, the Trail club continues to battle against Polio.

“We don’t think of Polio as a threatening disease anymore,” said Trail Rotary president Lana Rodlie. “Mine is likely the last generation to actually remember people being afflicted with Polio.”

In Canada, Polio was one of the most feared childhood diseases of the 20th century. In the 1950s, it closed schools, emptied streets and banned children under 16 from entering many public places.

“I had an aunt who suffered from Polio as a child. It left her with a deformed hand and an arm that she couldn’t lift above elbow height.

Hopefully, it is one disease we don’t have to worry about our grandchildren contracting.”

Many younger Canadians have never heard of this paralyzing disease that deforms limbs, and in the most severe cases, can cause death by asphyxiation. The last case in Canada was as late as 1977. The next case could be but a plane-ride away.

In the fight to finally eradicate Polio from the entire world it’s a fine line between a leader and a bystander. Canada has always been a leader in this fight – a Canadian invented the Polio vaccine; Canadians eradicated the disease from our country; and we’ve helped eradicate it from all but three countries in the world: Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria.

Last year, Rotary celebrated India’s complete freedom from Polio.

Thankfully, the Canadian government has shown leadership in the effort to eradicate Polio by agreeing to match Canadian Rotarian and Canadian Rotary Club donations to Polio through the Rotary Foundation.

The (Bill & Melinda) Gates Foundation will also match donations 1:1.

Between now and March 31, 2013 – there is an opportunity to access $2 for every $1 donated.

Hence each dollar multiplies into a $3 donation, with the potential to inject up to $3 million towards this winning effort.

This global initiative has other partners working as diligently: WHO (World Health Organization), UNICEF, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and dozens of other countries stand beside Rotary.

Rotarians are urging everyone to spread the word; learn about Polio; talk about Polio; and donate at http://www.endpolio.org/ “Everyone in our community can be part of history as we work together to eliminate the final one per cent of polio cases worldwide.”

Rodlie urges everyone to support the Trail, Waneta Sunrise, Beaver Valley and Rossland Rotary clubs in their efforts to raise money to eradicate this terrible disease.

To get involved, please contact Rodlie at 368-9227 or the Trail Rotary website at www. trailrotary.com

Logs washed up on the banks of the Columbia River were sectioned off for firewood by several industrious Trail residents who meant business and had a flat deck trailer on hand to extract as much of the wood as they could.

Shelter opened in 2010 FROM PAGE 1 “Eighty per cent of these people who need long term help are our own folk, and not just sent here for affordable living. In fact, they are all our own folk,” said Simmons.

The La Nina Extreme Weather Emergency Shelter opened for the first time in 2010, from Feb. 1 to March 21, opening 37 times on the nights when the temperature dropped below freezing.

At the start of the program, the

shelter was in the basement of the Salvation Army Church in East Trail. The location was an issue as most of the marginally housed individuals spent their time in downtown or in West Trail.

In 2011, the committee, sponsored by the Trail United Church, secured over $55,000 from BC Housing to keep the shelter open from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m., from midNovember to the end of March, regardless of the weather forecast.

CRANBROOK

Tembec fire deemed not suspicious

BY ANNALEE GRANT Cranbrook Townsman

The Winter Swim Club was busy sorting donated cans on Saturday by the recycling depot in the Gulch. All funds will be put toward winter meets for the club.

The fire that levelled the former Tembec planer mill in Cranbrook late Thursday night, has been deemed not suspicious by nature.

The City of Cranbrook said in a press release that investigators indicate that the cause of the fire is undetermined but not suspicious.

Work Safe BC arrived on scene Friday morning and wrapped up the investigation later that day.

Flames broke out in the long-closed mill just before 10 p.m. Thursday night.

The City of Cranbrook said 18 firefighters responded to the blaze through the night with two fire trucks and the city’s ladder truck.

“Their response is always very quick,” said Chris Zettel, corporate communications officer with the City of Cranbrook.

Zettel told the Townsman the firefighters realized early on that they would not be able to save the building and instead moved on to saving some heavy equipment that had been left on site during the clean-up process.

“If there’s a positive, that would be the positive,” Zettel said.

Mayor Wayne Stetski toured the site but Zettel said the rest of the efforts would be left to Tembec, the company that owned the 36-hectare property.

Tembec closed the sawmill at the site in 1998, the planer was shuttered in 2010 and the kilns were permanently shut down in May.

School in Bountiful closes abuptly

BY JAMES KELLER The Canadian Press

A school in Bountiful, near Creston, with links to jailed polygamist leader Warren Jeffs has abruptly closed its doors, with most of its students now relying on home-schooling in a community that has long been accused of using classrooms to indoctrinate children rather than educate them.

Bountiful Elementary-Secondary School shut down without explanation in September, the province’s Education Ministry confirms, and nearly all of its former students are being homeschooled. The school, which received provincial funding for some grade levels, had an enrolment of 265 students last year.

Bountiful is a small commune of about 1,000 people not far from the U.S. border. Residents follow a fundamentalist form of Mormonism, which, unlike the mainstream Mormon church, condones polygamy as a tenet of the faith.

Bountiful Elementary-Secondary School was one of two schools in the community, which itself is split into two divided factions.

The school was controlled by the

faction that remains connected to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or FLDS, and its jailed leader Warren Jeffs.

The FLDS side of the community is considered more extreme and isolated than the faction led by Winston Blackmore, who split with the church a decade ago.

Blackmore’s school, Mormon Hills School, remains open with an enrolment this year of 178 students, according to the Education Ministry. Unlike Bountiful Elementary-Secondary School, Mormon Hills receives the highest level of government funding available to an independent school and is certified to grant high school diplomas.

Education in the community came under scrutiny during a high-profile trial in late 2010 and early 2011 that examined Canada’s polygamy law. The trial heard evidence of declining enrolment at both schools, particularly at higher grade levels. Statistics presented in court indicated few students finished Grade 12 and even fewer received high school diplomas.

The trial also heard testimony from former Bountiful residents, who recalled

being taught religion for several hours each day at the FLDS-run school, where boys were told to treat girls as “dangerous snakes.’’

When reached by phone, the school’s former principal, Guy Oler, declined to comment on the closure.

The Bountiful Elementary-Secondary School Society, which ran the school, informed the provincial government in September that it wouldn’t be open this year, said Education Ministry spokesman Scott Sutherland.

He said the society didn’t provide an explanation, nor was it required to do so. The ministry and the local school district immediately began meeting with Bountiful school administrators and parents to ensure they knew they were required to register the children elsewhere.

“It came as a bit of a surprise to the ministry,’’ Sutherland said.

Sutherland said most of the students are now enrolled in a local home-schooling program known as Homelinks, which connects parents and children with certified teachers who work with families to craft an educational program for each student.

Fortis BC will be upgrading its electrical infrastructure along Highway 3 between Grand Forks and Christina Lake until December.

Tracy Tang, corporate communications adviser for Fortis BC, explained that Fortis BC and contractors are doing maintenance work to upgrade the existing electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure between the Christina Lake and Grand Forks substations.

“The crews are replacing the old power poles and broken cross arms,” she said. “The work is being down to ensure that the safety and reliability is there for the electricity customers in the area.”

Tang noted that upgrades aren’t done every year, but whenever it is required.

“With infrastructure, you have to assess it and see how it’s performing,” she said. “It can be prone to storm damage, high winds, and all sorts of factors that wear down the infrastructure.”

Approximately 40 poles are scheduled to be replaced, Tang noted, with no service disruptions expected.

Provincial Police make arrests four years after murder Vernon Morning Star

Two people have been arrested almost four years after a Shuswap murder.

RCMP investigators arrested a man and a woman in connection with the 2008 murder of Tyler Myers, 22, whose body was

found in the yard of Salmon Arm’s Bastion Elementary School on Nov. 21, 2008, dead from a gunshot wound.

Two individuals were arrested in Vernon and Salmon Arm Monday.

SNOW REMOVAl PROCEDuRES

The City of Trail would like to advise the residents of our current snow control procedures and policies.

The City has 76 kilometers of roads to maintain throughout the City and has 14 pieces of equipment such as loaders, sand spreaders, snow plows and a grader to accomplish this task.

From mid November to March, the City has at least one employee on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. (The number of employees involved in snow removal is dependent on the amount and duration of snowfall).

City streets are maintained on a priority basis, which is as follows: #1 Priority Major collectors and emergency routes, i.e.

Hospital Hill, Warfield Hill, Fifth Avenue Hill.

Hills with extreme gradients and significant volume, i.e. Green Avenue. #2 Priority Bus routes. #3 Priority Downtown core, including downtown parking lots and the Aquatic Centre. #4 Priority Hills with lighter traffic volumes, i.e. Lilac Crescent, Park Street. #5 Priority All remaining residential streets and parking lots.

When all 5 priorities have been accomplished, lanes will be plowed and all other streets widened.

City owned sidewalks and the Victoria Street Bridge sidewalk will be cleared following heavy snowfalls.

In general, sand is not used on level streets except when extreme icing conditions are experienced.

Snow removal in the downtown area is undertaken after a heavy snowfall (this is normally done in the evening hours).

Other designated business areas will be cleared as required.

The City plow trucks plow with the traffic flow. Snow is cleared from the center of the road to the right curb side.

The City will not clear snow windrows from any private driveway.

Remember, citizens can greatly assist the snow control operation by adhering to the following requests: 1. Remove all unused vehicles, boats, trailers, etc. from the streets from November to March.

2. Ensure that any vehicles required to park on the street are parked as close to the curb or sidewalk as possible.

3. Refrain from shoveling or spreading snow onto the boulevard or into the roadway from sidewalks and private property, etc.

4. Obey snow removal signs.

Property owners are required to remove any accumulation of snow or ice from sidewalks abutting their property.

The City Works Department office in Glenmerry is open from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday to Friday and all snow related concerns or problems should be directed to this office at 250364-0840. Emergency calls outside of normal working hours are directed through to the Fire Department who relay the concern to the appropriate person for response. City related calls to the Fire Department should be through the 250-3641737 number.

We hope you have a safe and enjoyable winter season and thank you for your patience and anticipated co-operation.

Homicide Unit have identified and arrested a man and woman that we believe are responsible for Tyler Myers’ murder,” said Insp.

Gary Shinkaruk, with B.C. RCMP’s Major Crime Unit.

“As we approach the four-year anniversary of Tyler’s death we are pleased to say that those responsible are now facing criminal charges.”

Because the matter is now before the courts, police are saying very little about the investigation.

However, RCMP confirm that Myers knew the two accused, and said the incident was not a random attack.

Police did not say which of the accused was arrested in Vernon.

The now 20-yearold man and 21-yearold woman, both from Salmon Arm, have been charged with first degree murder but can’t be named as they were young persons as defined by the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) at the time of the offence.

“Each of our investigators believes that murder victims deserve to have their case solved, no matter how long the file takes.

“These charges illustrate their dedication and hopefully will help Tyler’s friends and family,” said Shinkaruk.

The investigation remains active and ongoing, and additional charges are possible.

The two accused were slated to appear in Salmon Arm Provincial Court Tuesday.

Victoria claims best restroom in Canada THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - It’s basically a spruced up downtown outhouse, but Victoria’s so-called Langley Street Loo is now known as Canada’s best restroom.

A nationwide contest saw Victoria’s outdoor, public restroom top four other washrooms in Vancouver, Toronto, and Repentigny, Quebec for biffy supremacy.

Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin says he is flushed with pride at the award, sponsored by Cintas Canada, a company that provides restroom supplies, among other services.

Cintas spokesman Rod Farquharson says the Victoria Loo isn’t known for being lavish, but the stainless steel, unisex toilet provides an ecofriendly, convenient and free service.

Trade groups, Clark square off over training THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A B.C. labour group is criticizing the provincial government for slashing funding to train construction workers, while at the same time the government is boasting about its skills-training programs.

Tom Sigurdson, the executive director of the BC Building Trades, says it’s shameful that the government is spending money on campaign-style advertising while putting entire training programs at risk by cutting funds.

He says the government’s not only reducing funding, but a lack of information from the Industry Training Authority is leaving apprentices in the dark about upcoming courses so they miss getting the technical training they need.

But Premier Christy Clark fired back with a Twitter message saying there are about 32,000 apprentices in the trades training system, more than double since the training authority was created.

Her message came the same day the government issued a news release describing how high school students can get a jump start in a trade with apprenticeship programs that combine on-the-job training and classroom learning.

The government says the programs run by the Industry Training Authority allow young people to start apprenticeship training with no tuition fees and earn high school credits at the same time.

WAR MEMORIAL CEREMONY

NATIONAL Canada Post to charge developers for community mailboxes THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Buyers of new homes may have an additional fee to contend with next year and they’ll have Canada Post, in part, to thank for it.

The country’s postal service operator says it will begin charging developers $200 per home address to install community mailboxes in new residential neighbourhoods and commercial areas.

The new fee will kick in starting in January. While the fees won’t be directly charged to homeowners, it is likely that developers will pass off the expense to buyers.

Canada Post is looking for new ways to generate revenue and help reduce the quarterly losses its has

been racking up.

Mail volumes have been declining for years as more Canadians turn to the Internet instead of letter services to pay their bills, while couriers have also snagged part of the large package market.

But Canada Post has also faced a rise in the number of new mailing addresses each year, which it says can sometimes be as high as 200,000.

The company said the installation of new boxes can increase expenses by millions of dollar each year.

Canada Post noted that it will still be responsible for some of the associated costs, such as installation and maintenance.

Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Veterans Affairs Eve Adams looks on as Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney places a wreath on the National War Memorial during a ceremony in Ottawa, Tuesday.

PBO stalled by government secrecy THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Canada’s budget watchdog will not issue a mid-year report on the Harper government’s finances, citing lack of co-operation from the vast majority of departments.

Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page posted a partial analysis on the government’s $5.2 billion spending cuts plan Tuesday, but said a complete report that would be useful to parliamentarians is impossible because he just hasn’t been given enough information.

He is seeking legal advice on whether he

can sue Ottawa for the information, saying he will have an opinion this month.

“We’re just saying show us the plan. This is not just a PBO issue, Parliament needs to see this and if they do see it and start scrutinize these plans, the chance of hitting objectives goes up,” he said.

“But to say: We are not giving you the plan, totally undermines Parliament.”

Page said he has been begging departments and other governmental organizations to report to his office their plans for personnel cuts and

their impact on programs and services for seven months, but in many cases has received only a perfunctory response.

To date, the PBO has received responses to requests about budget cutbacks from 91 per cent of government departments.

However, most have supplied inadequate information, he said.

Only one-quarter of departments, representing three per cent of the $5.2 billion in budgeted cutbacks, have provided data on personnel losses or the impact on services to Canadians, he said.

E

verybody, it seems, is for transparency.

Government is working hard to provide it. Corporations are opening their practices to deliver it.

We’ve got oodles of legislation to guaranty it, including the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act, the Access to Information Act, Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the . . . well you get the point.

Saskatchewan has three Acts ensuring freedom of information all by itself, not including applicable federal legislation.

If everyone was really in favour of transparency, would we really need all this legislation? Freedom of information is much like freedom of speech, everyone is in favour of it until it makes us uncomfortable. Legislation seems less about providing information than ensuring those who have it are not made too uncomfortable by those who want it.

Freedom of information legislation starts by assuming everything is a secret and then details the exceptions, culminating in a list of what information the public can see. Sometimes, this list is framed as a cit-

izen or customer information bill of rights. This sounds good but it’s upside down.

Effective legislation would start with the opposite assumption, building on the foundation that everything is public. Something like; If it’s in our files, you can see it.

Then, describing three of four exceptions with rational reasons for keeping this information from view. In other words, the burden of proof would be on those wishing to keep things a secret, not on those demanding disclosure. This would have the added benefit of making legislation a good deal shorter.

This reverse burden now plays out in day to day operations of industry and government. It used to be requests for information were met with earnest efforts in providing it, or clear reasons why making the information public was not possible. Now the first response is an automatic ‘No!’. Filing a freedom of information request has become step one in the process of getting any information at all. What should be the exception has become the rule.

This isn’t the right direction. Two thousand five hundred years of human scientific and technological advance is built on a foundation of transparency. Scientific studies must be published in sufficient detail that others can replicate the study. Background information, design of the experiment, resulting data and analytical method must all be open to inspection and critique. Learning doesn’t take place any other way.

Ever wondered why new scientific discoveries, especially concerning your health, pop up constantly but never seem to go anywhere? One reason is a form of transparency absenteeism called publication bias.

Experiments with positive results tend to get published and receive media attention, while those with

negative results, don’t. A new drug, for example, may have gone through 20 trials, but the 19 showing no effect are ignored by journals in favour of the one study showing a positive result.

Thus, the impression is given that something has been discovered when the weight of evidence is just the opposite.

There is a movement underway in the scientific community, deserving of public support, demanding full transparency in drug testing, with publication of all studies regardless of outcome.

Not everyone supports open access to information though. Bureaucracies have long stood as fortresses against it. Contrary to popular belief, Galileo’s heresy trial by the Inquisition in 1633 wasn’t so much about claiming the world went around the sun as it was writing about it in the common language of the day, Italian. Galileo’s was convicted of transparency.

Bureaucracies now edit, spin, reframe, summarize, simplify, cherry-pick, fold, staple, and otherwise mutilate, information by repackaging it for public consumption.

Pharmaceutical companies spend more money marketing drugs than discovering them. Government allocates more resources to selling positive stories of itself than it does improving services to citizens.

The fortress walls need to be taken down and legislation needs to be right side up.

Original sources of evidence must be made available. Authors should take accountability by signing reports (as was done years ago) and not hide behind committees. Secondary and tertiary repackaging shouldn’t be accepted by the public or the media without primary source material.

Inexpensive means of publication and search using web-based technologies makes all this possible.

Trust in public institutions is slipping. Corporate credibility with customers and the public is diminishing. Citizen engagement in democratic processes is declining. Some real transparency would help.

They learned about the importance of understanding and monitoring the patterns and impacts of local change and they were introduced to some practical tools to analyze their vulnerabilities and risk.

The new insights and tools will assist community forest managers to adapt their decision making to future conditions.

Community forests are seeking to diversify their operations and to capture more value for the wood harvested.

WoodSourceBC.com is a new BCCFA initiative which helps to attract a wide group of log buyers and value added manufacturers to the community forest product and to partnership opportunities.

Value added manufacturing can provide as much as ten times the jobs for each cubic metre of wood as can a primary breakdown facility.

The higher value product can also provide for an alternative log market for community forests and other small tenures.

Value added is a good deal for communities because it can contribute to new jobs, youth retention, economic diversification and community stability.

Veterans deserve more respect for sacrifice An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press The idea that an impoverished veteran deserves a dignified funeral and burial has been around since 1908 when a veteran of the Boer War died on the street with nothing in his possession but his honourable discharge papers. His body was handed to science for medical research.

It’s a principle, however, that successive federal governments have had trouble respecting.

The criteria for a federal fund that is supposed to ensure destitute veterans receive a proper funeral and burial are too limited and the program itself is underfunded.

Ottawa contributes $3,600

toward the funerals of needy veterans, an amount that hasn’t increased in years and is inadequate for today’s costs.

To qualify for that meagre support, veterans’ families must show their assets are under $12,015, not counting the family home and one vehicle.

The test for single veterans is less onerous.

The service criteria are even more restrictive. The burial fund is only available to veterans of the Second World War and the Korean War. Other veterans may qualify if their families can prove they died as a result of a disability sustained in the Armed Forces.

The policy effectively excludes all those who served

in uniform since the Korean war, including veterans of the Afghan conflict.

The program is administered by The Last Post Fund, a non-profit group that has had to dip into its donations to ensure some veterans receive dignified burials. Funeral directors have also subsidized the funerals of impoverished war veterans because the government’s allowance doesn’t cover the full cost.

The Last Post Fund has asked Ottawa to increase its cap for 12 years without success. The country’s veterans deserve better, and there is no better time than now to ensure that needy veterans are buried with respect.

PEOPLE REMEMBRANCE DAY

Grand Forks mom chosen to lay wreath in Ottawa

BY KARL YU

Grand Forks Gazette

Grand Forks’ Roxanne Priede is this year’s National Memorial (Silver) Cross Mother and will lay a wreath at the war memorial in Ottawa on Remembrance Day. Priede was named last Thursday by the Royal Canadian Legion and is mother of Master Corporal Darrell J. Priede, who died in Afghanistan in 2007.

Each year, the Royal Canadian Legion selects a mother to lay a wreath at the National War Memorial on behalf of mothers who have lost children in the military, either in action or in the course of normal duty.

She said that the event was going to be nerve-wracking and emotional.

“It’s sad but an honour as well, of course representing my son and also to be able to stand and represent all mothers in Canada that have lost sons or daughters in the military,” Priede

Roxanne Priede lost her son in a Chinook helicopter crash on May 20, 2007 – Darrell was serving as an imagery technician and she said he was a vibrant man.

“Darrell was just an amazing son,”

Mary Euphemia (Effie) Venables

Roxanne explained.

“He was very funloving, always smiling, always ready for a joke, he was also very quiet. He stood back in the corner sometimes, listening and learning.

He loved to travel, he enjoyed life to the fullest.”

Priede went on to say that Darrell was

also a loving husband and great brother.

While the announcement was made last week, Priede has known for some time about being this year’s National Memorial (Silver) Cross mother.

“I received a phone call on May 1, I believe,” she recol-

lected. “There’s a committee that looks over who they want for Silver Cross mother so they called me and asked me if I would consider being Silver Cross mother and of course, in the blink of an eye, I was ready to say, ‘Yes,’ but he said, ‘No, I’m going to give you the weekend to think it through and I want you to think about this. You need to do a bit of travelling and (you’ll) be representing mothers of Canada for the full year, so you need to be sure that it’s something you’d like to do.’

There wasn’t a moment that I thought I would decline it because it’s an amazing honour.”

Priede will head to Ottawa with husband John and will receive a gold enameled legion crest in a shadow box at a luncheon on Nov. 10 at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier in Ottawa.

The black train bridge in Grand Forks was renamed the Darrell J. Priede bridge back in May of 2011 in honour of Darrell.

Composer won two Pulitzer Prizes

(nee Moffat)

It is with the deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Mom. Mary Euphemia (Effie) Venables, nee Moffat, passed away quietly at home Nov. 1 after a short illness.

Effie was born July 21, 1931 in Trail, B.C., the oldest child of Jack and Mary Moffat.

She was raised and received her education in Trail. After her graduation in 1949 Effie went to work at the telephone office as a long distance operator.

She married Norman Venables in 1953 and together they raised four children. The Venables family moved to Grand Forks in 1964.

Effie retired from the Post Office in 1996 after 16 years of service. An active member of her community, she gave her time to Girl Guides, the fall fair, and seniors. Effie loved to sew, bake, garden, play cards, bird watch and travel.

She was predeceased by her father Jack in 1966, mother Mary in 2003 and her dear friend Ed Kopsar in 2006.

Effie leaves behind her children Heather (Richard) Smuin, Dan (Roxanne) Venables, Darlene (Michael) Dautel, and Martin (Edith) Venables; 12 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; her brother Bob (Dora) Moffat of Trail; sister Hazel Donaldson of Cranbrook; sister-in-law Yvonne Moore of Oliver; as well as many nieces and nephews, two aunts, numerous cousins and friends.

At Effie’s request there will be no service.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Classical composer Elliott Carter, whose challenging, rhythmically complex works earned him widespread admiration and two Pulitzer Prizes, died Monday at age 103.

His music publishing company, Boosey & Hawkes, called him an “iconic American composer.” It didn’t give the cause of his death.

In a 1992 Associated Press interview, Carter described his works as “music that asks to be listened to in a concentrated way and listened to with a great deal of attention.”

“It’s not music that makes an overt theatrical effect,” he said then, “but it assumes the listener is listening to sounds and making some sense out of them.”

The complex way the instruments interact in his compositions created drama for listeners who made the effort to understand them, but it made them difficult for orchestras to learn.

He said he tried to give each of the musicians individuality within

the context of a comprehensible whole.

While little known to the general public, he was long respected by an inner circle of critics and musicians.

In 2002, The New York Times said his string quartets were among “the most difficult music ever conceived,” and it hailed their “volatile emotions, delicacy and even, in places, plucky humour.”

Carter had remained astonishingly active, taking new commissions even as he celebrated his 100th birthday in December 2008 with a gala at Carnegie Hall.

His new work for chamber orchestra, “Instances,” will have its world premiere in February 2013 by the Seattle Symphony.

In 2005, his “Dialogues,” which had premiered the previous year, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in music.

Carter won his first Pulitzer Prize in 1960 for his Second String Quartet; his second award was in 1973 for his Third String Quartet.

REGIONAL

MLA returns from observing Ukraine election

BY GREG NESTEROFF Nelson Star

Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall says scrutinizing last month’s parliamentary election in Ukraine was “wonderful” — even though international observers have denounced the overall results as unfair.

“It was a great experience,” she said in an interview. “I definitely feel we had a positive impact, especially at the rural, community level.”

Mungall spent close to two weeks in the country as part of a 430-member Canadian delegation, arriving October 20 and departing Thursday.

She was sent to the riding of Drohobych in western province of Lviv province. The university town has a population of about 35,000 and is surrounded by many rural villages.

For three days, along with a driver, translator, and colleague, she toured precincts to see if ballots arrived in appropriate numbers and were handled properly.

Come election day October 28, Mungall says voting was conducted efficiently at the 10 polls she visited, although some things seemed suspicious.

“At one precinct I felt something was going on that may have not been completely above board, but I did not observe anything specific,” she said. “All I could do was report that ‘Four men came out of a car, they had a list, they were on the phone, they never voted, they noted our presence, and left.’“ Once the polls closed, the manual count also went smoothly. But then things fell apart: vote tabulations had to be filled out for the district election commissions, but there were no pre-printed forms.

Every candidate and party had to be written out — 22 of them in the poll Mungall observed. “Five hours was spent writing these things out,” she says. “By the time they were done, everybody was exhausted.”

Results were delivered in the middle of the night to the district commission.

“There was an incredible amount of confusion, disorganization and difficulty in this part of the process,” Mungall said. “From here, the commission would go into a room and input everything into a computer. Very few observers were allowed to observe that process … This is where

unfortunately we can’t say if everything went smoothly.”

Official results saw the governing Party of Regions retain the largest number of seats, 187 of 450. Ballots are still being counted, but international observers have noted irregularities and discrepancies at higher levels of the electoral process.

Electoral authorities this week called for recounts in five

disputed districts, and hundreds gathered in Kyiv to protest.

“At the end, the will of the Ukrainian people was not respected, and there was considerable intimidation against media freedom,” Mungall said, adding the ruling party was criticized for overusing government resources to bolster its re-election chances.

For all of that, Mungall, who previously served as an

election observer in Zambia in 2006, says she would encourage others to try it.

“It was a wonderful experience,” she said.

“Being on the ground and seeing what it meant to people on the local level provided me with the understanding that sometimes we take it for granted here in Canada.

“Most of us never knew what it’s like not to have the right to vote.”

CLINT TRAJAN/ABBOTSFORD HEAT

Steve McCarthy’s breakaway goal was the first of two shorthanded tallies for the Heat within three seconds in the third period on Thursday. The goals set a new AHL record for the fastest two by the same team, and tied the NHL mark.

McCarthy basks in the Heat

BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

Coming off of a record breaking goal last week, Trail native Steve McCarthy is enjoying the Heat on the west coast and his new home.

After winning a Swiss League Championship in April by scoring the Game 7 winning goal for the Zurich Lions, McCarthy packed his bags and made the journey back to B.C. and the American Hockey League for a tryout with the Calgary Flames affiliate, the Abbotsford Heat.

“It’s been great, obviously its been a few years,” said McCarthy after practice in Abbotsford Tuesday. “I spent a few seasons over seas and things went pretty well there, and I stayed healthy for a few years so I thought I’d give it another crack over here and see what happens.”

McCarthy’s return to the American Hockey League has been nothing short of impres-

sive. While Abbotsford enjoys first place in the North Division and second spot overall, the 31-year-old defenceman leads all Heat D in points with a goal and seven assists, and is a solid plus-6 for the season.

“The biggest thing for me is that I feel healthy. I feel as I’ve gotten older, I approach things a little bit differently, and things have worked out a little bit better for me.”

The former Trail Smoke Eater has made such a positive impact not just through his outstanding play, but his leadership on and off the ice; as a result, he was named assistant captain by his peers on Thursday prior to a game against the Toronto Marlies.

“It was a little bit of a surprise, the group here has been together for a few years, and have some veteran guys, so it was a pleasant surprise and something you take with pride,” said McCarthy.

He scored his first goal of the year later that same night in what turned out to be his first career short-handed goal, the game-winning goal, and the first tally in what would be the fastest two goals ever scored.

“I didn’t even see it (the second goal). There’s no video of it; it happened so fast.

Everybody that wasn’t here will have to take our word for it I guess.”

McCarthy’s short-handed goal broke a scoreless tie at 4:28 in the third period and then on the ensuing faceoff at centre ice, Ben Street fired the puck into the net past a bewildered Ben Scrivens in the Heat’s 3-0 win over the Marlies. “(Assistant coach) Cail MacLean told me they would probably go forward off the draw, so I figured there was no use trying to win it back,” Street told a Canadian Press reporter.

However, the road to glory is a rocky one as the Royals faceoff against Crofton House today at 11 a.m. - the team that beat them out for bronze in last year’s tournament - and then take on defending champion Shawnigan Lake in

their second match today at 3 p.m.

RSS winds up round-robin play with a game against Okanagan Mission Secondary at the Burnaby Sports Complex at 10:15 a.m.

Thursday.

In last year’s bronze-medal game RSS came close, but lost in the end to Crofton House 2-1.

This year’s team is a young squad made up of players from Grades 8 to 12 and is coached

by Donna Hebert and Jaclyn Haines.

Hebert, the RSS Phys-Ed teacher, has coached the field hockey team since 1993, winning two bronze, two silver and one provincial championship in 2000, an incredible success story for the size of the school.

Haines is an Ohio State University alumni, and RSS grad who played on the 2000 provincial championship field hockey team.

The Royals were ranked seventh in the province even though RSS is categorized as a single-A school with less than 86 female students in Grade 11 and 12, yet competes in the double-A provincials against larger schools.

Nelson’s L. V. Rogers Bombers also made it to the provincial title. After losing the West Kootenay zone final to the RSS Royals 1-0, the Bombers gained a berth by winning a wild-card match.

They faced Fraser Valley in Kelowna last week, and came away with a 3-1 victory.

The Bombers open the tournament with a game against Collingwood, 11 a.m., and South Ridge, 1 p.m., today, and Mark R. Isfeld Thursday at 10:15 a.m.

The playoff round gets underway Thursday afternoon culminating in the High School AA final on Friday at 2:45 p.m.

Biggest goal still to come

CFL

Stamps’ Tate gets start THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY - Drew Tate will get the start at quarterback for Calgary when the Stampeders host the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the CFL West semifinal.

The Stampeders announced the decision in a statement handed out to media before the team’s practice. Coach John Hufnagel had said previously he wanted to end speculation early on whether Tate or veteran Kevin Glenn would get the start.

Tate, a 28-year-old from Baytown, Texas, started the season as Calgary’s undisputed No. 1.

A shoulder dislocation of his non-throwing arm in his second regular-season game, and subsequent surgery, sidelined Tate for 14 of 18 games.

He opted for surgery in July, and wasn’t expected to return before the post-season. But he recovered quicker than planned and played portions of the final two games of the regular season, showing no indication he’d returned to action prematurely. “(Drew) has shown during the past two games he is fully recovered from his shoulder injury, he is throwing accurately and seeing the field well,” Hufnagel said in the statement. “Drew is a very interesting QB whose athleticism allows him to extend plays when thing break down. When Drew has started and played at least half the game, his winning percentage is 83 per cent.”

Before Glenn went in for the second half, Tate completed 11 of 15 passes for 139 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in the regular season finale Friday versus Edmonton.

In his first game back from injury Oct. 26 versus the Lions, Tate rotated series with Glenn.

Tate was picked off on a pass attempt, but threw to Nik Lewis for a touchdown on his very next play. He finished 5-for-7 and 68 yards.

Ice slip in second match

BY TIMES STAFF The Major Midget Kootenay Ice had a modest three-game unbeaten streak broken on the weekend as the South Island Royals defeated the Ice 6-3 on Sunday.

The Ice was coming off a two game sweep of the Thompson Blazers the previous weekend and tied the Royals in an exciting 5-5 game Saturday at the Cominco Arena.

The Ice went ahead 5-4 at 10:58 of the third period when Brendan Smith fired home a nice set up from Justin Post and Brandon Sookro.

But the Royals struck back, tying it a minute later to salvage a point.

Smith scored twice on the night

with singles coming from Post who also had two assists, Trevor Van Steinburg, and Sookro.

On Sunday, the Royals broke open a close 2-1 game in the second with a power play goal at 11:49 and another marker seven minutes later. Leading 4-1 heading into the third, the teams would trade a pair of goals each for the 6-3 Royal victory.

Post picked up two assists in the game, while Tristan Pagura, Kane Roberts, and Fruitvale’s Ryan Neil scored for the Kootenay side.

The Midget Ice next games go at the Richmond Oval against the seventh place Vancouver Canadians on Saturday and Sunday.

FROM PAGE 10 “I tried to go forward myself and got pretty good wood on it. I got it high enough that he didn’t pick up on it. I picked the right club, I guess.”

They were the fastest two goals scored by one team in North American professional hockey history, beating the old AHL mark of five seconds and the NHL mark of four seconds.

McCarthy’s goal was a little nicer. He flew down the left side, skated wide on a Marlies defender before taking the puck to the net and squeezing it through the pads of Scrivens.

“It was a huge play by a veteran-type player,” said Abbotsford coach Troy Ward. “There are moments in games where you need to step up and he made a great play at the right time.

“It was the play that “it was a huge will go (unnoticed) in play by a this whole thing and it veteran-type was the biggest play of player.” the game.”

A first-round pick of TROY WARD the Chicago Black in 1999, McCarthy logged 302 NHL games through nine seasons with the Blackhawks, Vancouver Canucks and Atlanta Thrashers. His career totals: 17 goals, 55 points and 168 penalty minutes.

All of that came after he led the Kootenay Ice to the franchise’s first Memorial Cup berth in 2000 and captained Team Canada to a world junior bronze medal the same season.

If McCarthy stays healthy and continues his outstanding play, if and when the NHL gets back on the ice, a promotion to the Calgary Flames just might be in the cards.

“I’ve played in the NHL before, it seems like a long time ago now, and if you would have thought I would have even had a crack at it, I didn’t even think that opportunity would be there,” said McCarthy.

“But it’s something that is in the back of your mind, and it would be nice, but at the same time, I’m pretty happy with where I am at, and what I’ve overcome with injuries just being able to get back here and contribute. If it happens, it will definitely be something special, but if it doesn’t, I’m comfortable with that too.”

The Oct. 26 Lotto Max draw has revealed a second winner from Sparwood – and they even bought the tickets from the same store!

In what Lotto Max

spokesman Chris Fairclough called a “really unique situation I’ve never heard of before,” Guy Champagne and Nicole Lelonde have joined Lee and Diana Anderson in taking a share of lot-

tery money from the October 26 draw, with tickets bought at the Express Mart in Sparwood.

Nicole and Guy won $333,333 – their share of a $1 million MaxMillion prize.

Nicole said she had

had a “feeling” that that might have won, which is why she called her husband Guy and told him to check his ticket as soon as she heard a winning ticket had been bought in Sparwood.

Earlier last week the Andersons, also of Sparwood, were at the BCLC office in Kamloops to claim their $500,000 winning share of a MaxMillion prize.

Boyfriend can support child away from birth mother Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

boyfriend is juggling three separate lives: one with you, one with his ex-wife and children, and another with his “secret” child and the biological mother.

We can think of no good reason for this man to be living with another woman unless he has made a commitment to her in addition to his child. He can support the child emotionally and financially without sleeping on her sofa.

It is not your place to inform his ex-wife or his other children about his arrangement. However, we think he is having a romantic relationship with the woman he

understand that your little sister is driving you nuts. This is not uncommon with younger siblings. We suggest you be the adult. Don’t let her ruffle you. Ignore her barbs and criticisms, which are intended to provoke a response and get your attention. When you need to vent, talk to your school counselor, best friend, favorite teacher or a sympathetic relative. But please remember that when your sister outgrows this immature stage, she could become your closest friend. Hang in there.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Joe’s Buddies for Life,” whose 50-year-old friend is still trying to realize a dream.

I spent my career as a high school guidance counselor. Many times, kids would have plans to play sports in college as a means of paying for their degree.

My advice to them was

to go to the coach for an honest assessment of their skills.

“Joe” needs to do the same thing. He needs to find someone who can give him a true assessment of his talents in his chosen field. He may need

some moral support to face this evaluation.

He will not be at all agreeable to considering another career until he faces the reality of his chances for success in his dream career. -- That First Step Is a Hard One

Shambhala Music Festival’s early-bird tickets snapped up in record time Nov. 1 offering sees 2,700 tickets sold in 21 minutes NELSON – Three months after Shambhala Music Festival’s 15th anniversary, organizers are excited to announce early bird tickets for the 2013 festival have already sold out.

“We won’t be releasing our line-up until the spring, but still people believe in what we are doing enough to buy a ticket.

People trust that we deliver.”

CORRINE ZAWADUK

Tickets went on sale on Nov. 1 at 6 p.m. and within 21 minutes the first tier of tickets had sold out, setting a record for sales. In 2011, first tier tickets sold out in 22 hours.

“I am blown away,” said executive producer Corrine Zawaduk.

“We won’t be releas-

ing our line-up until the spring, but still people believe in what we are doing enough to buy a ticket. People trust that we deliver.”

Shambhala now has only 6,000 tickets available online meaning they sold 40 per cent of their tickets in 12 hours.

“This is the fourth year in a row that we’re going to experience a sell-out,” said ticket and vendor administrator Sara Victor.

“For two years this has happened the fall before the line has been released. There is nothing quite like sitting on this side watching the orders roll in. It’s inspiring.”

Victor said the commitment and faith from ticket holders motivates festival organizers to continually make the best event possible encouraging people to come back year after year.

The festival, held annually in August at the Salmo River Ranch, has regularly sold out with 10,000 people in attendance.

As organizers begin preparations for their upcoming event, they will be incorporating the feedback received in a survey conducted last month.

“It was great to hear the commun-

cial Business-afterBusiness event held last month at the Shambhala Music and Performance Hall at Nelson’s Selkirk College Tenth Street Campus.

“It was an excellent event,” said Zawaduk.

“There as a good turn out with the key movers and shakers from the community for the strategic planning. The realization that we are a world class event is slowly spreading.”

In addition to a presentation by the family, Wanda Daza – an independent consultant hired to work

the event were very positive,” said Daza.

“Shambhala is in the process of mapping its strategy for the future and the input received from the community is valuable.”

Shambhala 2013 is scheduled for August 7 to 12.

Regular admission tickets are now available online at shambhalamusicfestival.com
