Contractor breaks ground on garden BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff
The KBRH Health Foundation is one step closer to commemorating a dedicated doctor that practiced in Trail for many years. The dust has settled at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital after ground was broken at a soon-to-be memorial garden Friday. The “Dr. Alex T. Melnychuk Memorial Garden” is slated for outside Poplar Ridge Pavilion, a fitting location as the late general practitioner spent THE latter part of his 37-year career working there. “We feel that the support of the garden project and

Poplar Ridge residents would (have been) very important to Dr. Melnychuk,” said Chief of Staff Dr. Trudi Toews. The memorial garden, which is set for completion by mid July, will have a wide meandering path that will allow for wheelchairs to pass through safely, in addition to an assortment of benches and tables that will also be wheelchair accessible. Several beds of colourful flowering bushes and trees will be designed to create privacy and visual appeal. “The initiative will align with our concept that improving healthcare for our citizens of the Kootenay
Boundary does not just occur inside the hospital walls at KBRH,” said Lisa Pasin, Foundation director of development, in a press release. “Having an area of respite and relaxation for patients, their family members, visitors, volunteers and employees at KBRH is a necessary part of maintaining and improving wellness at KBRH.” The Foundation is in the midst of securing donations and memorial contributions for the project that is now $11,000 away from meeting its goal. The $62,000 project has been reduced thanks to a $20,000 in-kind dona-
tion of equipment, labour and materials from Alpine Contracting and other vendors. Residents now have the opportunity to purchase a picnic table and or bench that can be affixed with a memorial plaque or a plaque citing a donor’s name. Plants and trees can also be purchased and will be recognized on site. “Many Diagnostic Imaging staff had the pleasure of working with Dr. Melnychuk and fondly remember him,” said Sue DeRosa, a professional practice leader for diagnostic imaging at KBRH.

The Trail and District United Way has been supporting the citizens of the area since 1928 in one form or another and although they have seen a dip in local donations recently, the local charity is still determined to continue making a difference in the Greater Trail area. “Donations have been down the last couple of years,” said Naomi McKimmie, local executive director. “Not significantly yet but enough so that we, as well as our member agencies, are feeling it.” Although the agency still managed to support 21 programs through 15 member agencies with funds raised in 2012, it was still reduced from the previous year. “I think it’s a combination of a number of factors,” said McKimmie. “People feel as if they don’t have as much spare cash, our donor base has been shrinking because of the aging population, youth aren’t as involved with charities as they once might have been and all the charities are after the same slice of pie.” See COMMUNITY, Page 3

Students pledge to stay out of the sun By Sheri Regnier Times Staff
Once upon a time, the glow of a tan embodied a vision of health and beauty. Not so in 2013, as a hot new slogan, “Tanning is Out,” is what is on trend. Last week was “Sun Awareness Week,” and the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) recognized more than 8,000 students in high schools across B.C. who took a pledge to be tan-free this year. “We had about 120 students sign up to pledge that they wouldn’t tan this summer,” said Kelsa Quakenbush, a Grade 12 J.L. Crowe Secondary student, who organized the campaign. “So many people are out there burning themselves to be tanned and trying to be pretty,” she said. “They really don’t need to in the name of beauty, because it is damaging and just not worth it.” The CCS “Tanning is Out” initiative promotes a peer-to-peer based model to educate students about the dangers of both indoor and outdoor tanning. Since 2011, the CCA along with high school students, has encouraged youth to “own their own skin-tone,” in spite of some of the social pressures to be tanned. As a former Miss Trail princess, Quakenbush became aware of the “Tanning is Out” campaign when she attended a CCS conference with Trail

royalty last fall. She and a handful of classmates from grades 9 through 12, introduced the tan-free initiative to fellow students at the Royal Theatre last October. “We set up a booth at the Twilight Breaking Dawn premiere,” explained Quakenbush. “Because pale vampires, no tanning, it kind of worked,” she laughed. Next, the students plastered a bulletin board at the high school with informative posters before embarking on the task of collecting pledges.
“They really don’t need to in the name of beauty because it is damaging and just not worth it.” kelsa quakenbush
“From April 15 to 19, we held our ‘tanning is out week’ that was aimed at all students,” she said. “Although we target Grade 12 because 18 is the legal age to use a tanning booth, this year we wanted to get the message out school-wide.” Additionally, the committee collaborated with the school’s cold-drink bar to sell orange smoothies; a colour that epitomizes the shade many skin tones turn when using fake tan products.

Although “own your own beauty and natural skin tone” initiatives appear to focus on the female gender, “Tanning is Out” wholeheartedly invited the male student body to get on board. “We had quite a few boys sign up this year,” said Quakenbush. At first, the boys were reluctant, citing outdoor summer employment, but after discussion about skin protection and safe ways to be in the sun, at least 50 signed up. “They (boys) didn’t care as much about being tanned, it was more related to their work,” she said. “Whereas most girls were more reluctant to sign because they like to bake out in the sun.” According to Canadian cancer statistics, skin cancer is one of the most common and preventable forms of cancer in the country. “You can still go out in the sun and get your vitamin D,” said Quackenbush. “But go out earlier in the day and always wear sunscreen.” In 1944, the first tanning lotion to darken skin was invented by American pharmacist Benjamin Green. Fast forward to 1953, and the “Coppertone” girl was unveiled, along with the ad slogan, “Don’t be a paleface.” Times are changing and since 2011, more than 17,000 B.C. students have pledged to be tan-free.

Plane leaving Nelson crashes near Crawford Bay Pilot, who can’t be identified at this time, dies on scene Kirsten Hildebrand Nelson Star
A small plane taking off from Nelson on Wednesday crashed near Crawford Bay claiming the life of the pilot. The pilot was the lone occupant of the Cessna 337 plane that left the Nelson airport at 1 p.m. intending to fly to La Ronge, Saskatchewan — a six-hour flight, says Transportation Safety Board (TSB) official Bill Yearwood. “A concerned citizen called to say the plane was missing
and search ensued,” he says. Wreckage of the twin-engine plane was found north east of Crawford Bay in “high-treed terrain” and the pilot was dead at the scene. TSB has dispatched two investigators to
the area to determine the cause of the accident. The name of pilot and owner of the plane has not been released though Yearwood said the aircraft was registered to a company in the Nelson area.
Her department rallied together and recently purchased a memorial picnic table to honour a long-time colleague and friend, Wendy Scott, who passed away last year. After completing it’s Digital Mammography campaign in February by raising $790,000 within 22 months, the Foundation and the Gardening Committee discussed the creation of a green space outside Poplar Ridge. When Digital Mammography completed earlier than expected, a spring campaign to create the garden began. Since 1988, the KBRH Health Foundation, formerly the Trail Regional Hospital Foundation, has raised over $11 million to advance health care in the Kootenay Boundary. The Foundation’s revenue is generated through gifts from private and corporate donors. For more information and to donate, call the foundation at 364-3424 or email info@ kbrhhealthfoundation.ca.

Community charity holds long history From page 1 The community based charity begun in Trail in 1928 as the “Community Chest” by the Independent Order of Daughters of the Empire (I.O.D.E.) with the charter that “Each of us individuals has the duty of showing in practical ways to alleviate suffering and re-kindle hope in our community.” The organization remained the Community Chest until 1970 when it became the Trail and District United Appeal, finally arriving at its current name in 1975. The United Way is now an international organization that works in communities by acting as a central collection point for donations, which then distributes the funds to the various smaller charities in the area. This reduces the number of appeals that individual citizens can be subjected to in a year and offers an easy way for people to help support the needy in their communities. The agency maintains a comparatively small operating budget with over 85 per cent of donations going into local programs, the remainder going to paying membership fees to the national office, as well as paying the wages for one employee, three days a week. Still, the local organization is trying to keep up with the times by offering alternative methods of making donations as well as maintaining its existing payroll deduction programs and various other donation avenues. “We now have the ability to accept credit card donations at the local level,” said McKimmie. “We’re also part of the ‘Change it’ program through the credit unions. When you purchase anything with a debit card they round the amount of the purchase up to the next dollar and that is donated to the charity of your choice.” The agency recently held a poster contest for elementary school students in the area introduce them to the concept of what the charitable organization strives to do and help raise awareness of the programs they support. The contest garnered entries from 79 students from across the southern end of School District 20, including school kids from Fruitvale, Trail and Rossland. The top three entrants were awarded certificates and Walmart gift cards at the area United Way AGM Wednesday night. In the kindergarten to grade two group the top prize was taken by Chase Hollis of Glenmerry Elementary, the grade three to five group winner was grade three Fruitvale Elementary student Anna Chin, and for grade six and sevens Aby Elwood of Glenmerry. Elwood’s creation also took overall prize and will be used as a flyer for the United Way’s advertising campaign prior to their United Way in the Park celebration in September. Although donations are down for the local agency they are still finding new programs to support in the area. They have recently begun supporting the La Nina Extreme Weather Shelter, the Getting to Home project for the local homeless, and the Stars for Success program which is part of the Success by Six program.

Q
I have just purchased a boat. Do I have coverage for the boat automatically under my home policy?
A
Good question. Most home policies do cover boats, motors and their equipment but only up to a specified limit, usually around $ 2,000. The liability under your home policy only covers the ownership and operation of certain size and types of boats. Every Insurance Company has different wordings but usually if the boat is less than 26 feet and the outboard motor is less than 25 hp or the inboard motor is less than 50hp, they can be included under the home policy. If your boat is worth more than $ 2,000 you can either add coverage to your home policy or purchase a separate marine policy. Coverages vary and you want to make sure you know what you are purchasing. The best policy is an agreed value policy with no depreciation for repairs on partial claims. Agreed value means the Insurance Company pays the amount of insurance purchased so this is why older boats require a marine survey to determine the value of the boat. Some policies have extensions automatically included in the policy, such as coverage for tenders (dingys), personal effects, loss of use and fire department charges. There may also be a separate water-sport liability limit on your policy. To get more more information contact RHC Insurance Brokers at any one of our 8 locations.

MERRITT, B.C. - A crew was cleaning up a small oil spill Thursday from Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline in British Columbia, where the company plans a controversial expansion through a province where the debate over oil pipelines and the tankers that go with them have played out in the headlines. Initial estimates from the Calgary-based company said 12 barrels, or about 2,000 litres, of light crude leaked before an employee discovered the breach Wednesday about 40 kilometres south of Merritt, B.C., where the line follows the Coquihalla Highway through the Cascade Mountains. “We had crews in the area that were doing routine maintenance work and one of our crew members... noticed a small pooling of what appeared to be oil,” company spokesman Andy Galarnyk said. The pipeline was shut down about 10 a.m. and a crew dispatched, he said. All regulatory agencies were notified, and by late Wednesday, the National Energy Board had observers on site and the repair was underway. The energy board said the public and the environment were not at risk.

University of Victoria said an estimated 104 lives were saved after the laws were introduced in September 2010, there was a 23-per-cent reduction in the number of injuries, and property damage was slashed by nearly 20 per cent. Lead study author Scott Macdonald, from the university’s Centre for Addiction Research, said B.C. is the only province in Canada that has immediate consequences for drivers with blood alcohol levels of higher than .05 per cent, below the Criminal Code threshold of .08 per cent. Macdonald said other provinces and territories should have similar legislation to B.C., where immediate sanctions have largely replaced the Criminal Code, which had more severe penalties but a lower probability of punishment.

Supreme Court has touch questions Offer represents in hearing on prostitution challenge wage cut: union By Mike Blanchfield THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA - The Supreme Court of Canada grappled Thursday with the constitutionality of Canada’s prostitution law, as demonstrators from both sides of the issue aired their views with colourful flair on its outdoor steps. Federal lawyer Michael Morris argued that the Ontario Court of Appeal went too far last year when it struck down the Criminal Code ban on bawdy houses on the grounds that the law puts sex workers in danger by forcing them to work outside. “In the face of a complex social problem, uncertainty and contradicting social science evidence, we submit that the Ontario Court of Appeal erred,” Morris argued. Lawyers for the province of Ontario also argued against any decriminalization. Several justices made the point that prostitution itself is not in fact illegal, and raised questions about how that should affect many of the
key activities related to it that are in fact banned under sections of the Criminal Code. Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin raised the question of whether that means that prostitutes should be able to hire security guards and work in secure brothels, off the street. “It could be Brinks or somebody. I’m not sure they’re in that business,” she opined, sparking muted laughter in the court. The Ontario Court of Appeal struck down the section that forbids brothels, but it upheld a ban on communication for the purposes of prostitution, which makes street prostitution illegal. The court also imposed limits on the section that prohibits living off the avails of prostitution to exclude people such as a sex worker’s bodyguard, accountant or receptionist. It said the provision should only apply “in circumstances of exploitation.” Federal and provincial lawyers are arguing that the intent of Parliament is impose limits on prostitution.
“The assertion that prostitution is legal in Canada is misleading. Prostitution has always been and remains more illegal than legal in Canada,” argued lawyer Jamie Klukach, appearing for the Ontario Attorney General. Osgoode Hall law professor Alan Young, who is leading the court challenge, argued the opposite. Young slammed the “mythmaking, fear mongering and storytelling” of his legal opponents and the “powerful lofty rarefied statements that don’t reflect the law.” He urged the court to set aside moral considerations. Young is representing three women at the centre of the case: retired dominatrix Terri-Jean Bedford, former prostitute Valerie Scott and Vancouver sex worker Amy Lebovitch. “This is going to be the day of reckoning here in Ottawa,” Bedford, clad in a leather jacket and carrying a small whip, said on the courthouse steps.
Questions about Mayor Ford overshadow raids By Allison Jones
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - A massive police operation targeting suspected drug and gun traffickers was overshadowed Thursday by questions about a possible link between the early-morning raids in Toronto and Mayor Rob Ford’s alleged crack cocaine video. Locations raided around the Greater Toronto Area included an apartment complex where reports have
said an alleged video that appears to show Ford smoking crack cocaine was located. Ford has said publicly that he does not use crack cocaine and the video does not exist. Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair called the raids significant, saying they have cut off a pipeline of guns from the United States into Canada, disrupted alleged gang activity and made dozens of arrests. The investiga-
tion began with a series of violent crimes last summer, he said. “In size there have been bigger (raids), but in importance this ranks up there with, I think, some of the most important work that we do,” Blair said. But a news conference Blair held to discuss the investigation was dominated by questions about the mayor. Blair would not say if there was any connection to Ford. “I am not able to

jurisdictions including Peel, York, Halton, Durham, the RCMP and Ontario Provincial Police as well as police in Edmonton and officers of the Canada Border Services Agency.

TORONTO - The union representing some workers at Via Rail said the company’s offer on the table Thursday would reduce wages, rather than increase them, once higher pension contributions are considered, and it said it was doubtful an agreement could be reached in time to avert a strike. “What the company wants to do is
increase employees’ pension contributions substantially over the next three years,” said Bob Orr, assistant to the president of the Canadian Auto Workers Union. He said it was doubtful an agreement could be reached in time to avert a strike, which would involve about 2,000 of Via’s customer service employees, as well as on-board service and maintenance workers.

Calgary campaign spending controversy reminds us of important democratic values
A
video of a Calgary developer urging his audience to become involved in the upcoming municipal election to ‘ensure we [the developers] have the eight votes’ on council needed to guarantee their policy agenda caused quite a public backlash. It also provides an opportunity to think more deeply about important democratic principles and the need to protect them. There is nothing wrong with encouraging your fellow citizens to be involved in the political process by supporting candidates, voting, making donations, or even by trying to persuade them to vote for candidates more in line with your (and, hopefully, their) interests. All of these behaviours are part of a healthy democracy. Given the low voter turnout in many elections, more rather than less such engagement is required. What alarmed people, however, was that the comments in the video seemed to suggest that one small, special interest group was
trying to control the outcome of an election for its own benefit. The apparent claim that some political contributions in the last civic election exceeded the campaign donation limits set out in Alberta law was also of serious concern. Whether or not these allegations are true, the deeper issue concerns the protection of our core democratic values. We must first remind ourselves of those values and then protect them by enacting stronger campaign finance laws in Alberta at both the municipal and provincial level. Core to democracy is the idea that ‘we the people’ rule our own society. Some of the fundamental elements that make this possible are political equality through ‘one citizen, one vote,’ rule of law such that no one is above the law and everyone is equal before it, transparency, and accountability of government and elected officials to the people who elect them. Political donation rules and processes were established to ensure that
undue influence over politicians cannot be bought by wealthy individuals, thereby subverting our political equality and participation.
KELLY
ERNST Troy Media
Fundamental to democracy is the idea that we have an equal chance to have our say in the democratic process. We are all limited to one vote and one voice. No one should have a greater say or sway in the outcome of an election or subsequent policy decisions, regardless of their wealth, stature, or any other aspect of power. We have rules about political donations to ensure that the electoral process is fair. Upholding the rule of law surrounding elections is fundamental to
ensure we have confidence in the ensuing outcome. The suggestion that anyone can get around the rules by non-disclosure of excess donations-in-kind or hiding additional donations to candidates through thirdparty campaign training initiatives clashes with our sense of fundamental fairness. Alberta’s Local Authorities Election Act stipulates that campaign contributions to a municipal candidate cannot exceed $5,000 in any year. This includes in-kind donations of ‘contributions of real property, personal property and services.’ All contributions need to be valued and receipts issued for the total amount. When contributions exceed $100, contributor’s names must be reported. Nonetheless, transparency must be improved with stricter reporting requirements and enforcement provisions. Calgary has some of the weakest campaign finance rules in the country. Since the legislation is provincial, Alberta municipalities
must work together with the provincial government to strengthen the law. All candidates, elected or not, must be accountable to the people they hope to govern. Donors must also play by the rules and be accountable to the public. This joint accountability ensures that there is no undue influence in the outcome of elections or subsequent policy decisions. Transparency regarding who donates what to whom and whether any outcomes or benefits are expected or provided in exchange is fundamental to democratic governance. Even the whiff of behind-closed-doors deal-making corrodes our sense of justice and fairness. In a strange way, the transparency the controversial video provides is good because it causes us to think about the fundamental ethical values underpinning our democracy.

Smoke n’ Steel show a hit I couldn’t let an opportunity go by without recognizing all those who were involved in organizing the recent West Kootenay Smoke n’ Steel’s fifth annual Cruisin’ the Columbia car show on Saturday, June 8. On arrival to the scenic sight
of Gyro Park, one was welcomed by the sounds of great music along with the aroma of food booths. To see the number of cars in attendance was truly remarkable. Again, from all of those who
attended, our thanks to the organizers, volunteers, and participants for a job well done. For those that were unable to make it, hopefully you will be there next year. Eleanor Gattafoni-Robinson Trail, B.C.

Give people choice to buy raw milk An editorial from the Kamloops Daily News It wasn’t the sale of drugs or tobacco that resulted in threemonth suspended sentences for two Chilliwack farmers last week - it was the sale of raw milk. Yes, something that has been consumed safely for thousands of years is treated as a major health no-no by Health Canada, which says unpasteurized milk contains harmful bacteria including salmonella, E. coli and Listeria. The two farmers’ cow-sharing enterprise was described as providing cosmetic products, but it contained just one ingredient - raw milk.
It was a ploy to try to get around the system and it obviously failed. This case is hardly the first to go to court because some farmer wanted to fill the demand for raw milk consumers. Canadians who want to purchase raw milk - and there are many - cite the superior nutritional value of the product. They say raw milk contains valuable enzymes, vitamins and proteins, which are either destroyed, transformed or diminished due to pasteurization, a process that heats the milk to kill all bacteria - even beneficial bacteria. Some proponents of raw milk even say health problems linked to pasteurized milk - such as allergies
and intolerances - are absent in the raw form. On the other side, organizations like the B.C. Centre for Disease Control say raw milk is unsanitary and may contain feces, urine and other environmental contaminants. It argues pasteurization of raw milk is one of the greatest advances in public health of the 20th century. The fact is, the arguments can go back and forth with plenty of evidence to support those for and against raw milk. The problem is, the federal government takes a typical nannystate approach to the issue instead of letting consumers decide. Just like consumers know the health risks
of tobacco, alcohol and fat-laden fast food, they also know the risks associated with raw milk and should have the choice to purchase the product. We’re not talking about raw milk on a mass scale - an area where pasteurization definitely has its advantages - but on a small, local scale. Think 100 Mile Diet. Raw milk has been consumed for thousands of years and if some city dweller wants to drive 50 kilometres to a dairy farm to buy raw milk, that opportunity should be available. More than half of U.S. states allow the sale of raw milk, and Canada should be no different.
MPs should debate phone, Internet spying An editorial from the Toronto Star, published June 10: Is the Canadian government spying on our phone calls and emails? Can it offer some credible reassurance that it isn’t? And is Ottawa swapping this data with American or other spy services? Those would be troubling questions at any time. But it’s downright alarming to hear them being raised in Parliament by New Democratic Party Leader Tom Mulcair and his team - who clearly feel they are being kept in the dark. If the official Opposition isn’t in the loop, who is? In Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s absence, Defence Minister Peter MacKay did his best on Monday to tamp down concern over a report
that he has issued ministerial directives, without benefit of parliamentary oversight, that authorize the ultrasecret Communications Security Establishment Canada to monitor phone calls and Internet activity for “metadata,” as did the Liberals earlier. CSEC has a “culture of compliance” with the law, he said, and can’t target Canadians, only foreign threats. That may well be. But Canadians can be forgiven for wondering, amid the controversy that erupted in the United States last week over revelations that citizens there are under unheard-of scrutiny. The scope of the American program, driven by a political obsession with terror that shows no sign of abating, is staggering. The security services are authorized to hoover up
vast amounts of raw “telephony metadata” (the caller’s number and that of the other party, time of call, duration and other data, short of listening in on the conversations), to identify and track potential threats. And under another program called PRISM they can scour the main U.S. Internet companies for emails, audio, video and other materials from non-Americans living abroad. That would catch most Canadians who rely heavily on the major servers in the net. Canadians might well wonder how much surreptitious surveillance goes on here as well. The office of Canada’s privacy commissioner says developments on both sides of the border raise “significant concerns” about the balance between security and privacy.

He finished his education in Seward, Nebraska and started his teaching career in Pocahontas, Missouri.

Ed shared his love of life and God as a husband, father, teacher, and friend. His
BY NICK PATCH
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - It was a decade ago this week that “Canadian Idol” debuted, and it was also something of a premiere for host Ben Mulroney. At 27 he was better-known to Canadians as the son of a former prime minister rather than a ubiquitous fixture of entertainment news show. Mulroney recalls watching

generous nature and ability to help others was his strength and his conviction. A celebration of Ed’s life will be held on Friday June 14th at 11:00am at the First Lutheran Church, 4091 Lakeshore Road, Kelowna, B.C. A lunch social will be held after the service. In lieu of flowers donations can be made in Ed’s name to the Parkinson Society British Columbia (www.parkinson.bc.ca) and /or the First Lutheran Church(www.firstlutheran.ca) building fund in Kelowna
the show’s taped premiere at a friend’s place with 10 or so others. Afterward, they hopped in a taxi and headed off to a midtown Toronto sports bar, and they were dropped off a small hike away. “We had to walk about a block, and a car full of girls drove by and honked. And then two seconds later, a car full of guys drove by and heckled me,” Mulroney recalled with a smile during a recent interview in Toronto.

“And I thought: ‘OK. This is the new dynamic.”’ It wasn’t only Mulroney’s life that changed, of course. Over its six-year run, “Canadian Idol” was fiercely criticized as a glorification of crass commercialism over artistry, as an uncreative (and un-Canadian) carbon copy of a hit international reality franchise and, eventually, as an ineffective star maker capable only of creating fleeting flashes rather than sustained heat.
While the debate has faded since the show was indefinitely “suspended” due to the chilly economic climate of 2008, those involved with its launch remember just how divisive “Canadian Idol” was at the beginning. “It was not a foregone conclusion it was going to be successful,” recalled Mulroney. “And yet we proved them wrong. But we had to fight very hard against that sentiment.”

Women menopausal because men want younger mates: study By Sheryl Ubelacker THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - Theories abound as to why women go into menopause, but the latest hypothesis being put forward suggests it may be men - or specifically their preference for younger mates - that has led to women’s loss of fertility at a certain age. Researchers at McMaster University believe that over tens of thousands of years, a lack of reproduction among older women has given rise to menopause as an unintended result of evolutionary natural selection. Using computer modelling, the researchers found that over time, competition among men of all ages for younger mates left older females with much less chance of reproducing. “We are saying somewhere along the line, men began to change their preference in mating,” said evolutionary biologist Rama Singh, coauthor of the study published in this week’s issue of the journal PLOS Computational
Biology. “What we’re saying is that menopause will occur if there is a preferential mating with younger women and older women are not reproducing,” he said Thursday from Hamilton. Singh said women would have had children when they were younger - from 15 to 30, based on the computer model. Any genetic mutations that caused an end to fertility later in life would be passed down from generation to generation, he said. And over time, an accumulation of such mutations harmful to female fertility ended up producing a menopausal period that became part of the overall human female genome, the hypothesis suggests. “It’s a very simple theory. What it does is it demystifies menopause. ... It becomes a simple age-related disease, if you can call it that,” said Singh. “That’s just like all the mutations that affect our
aging - white hair, weak muscles, this and that. These are mutations which affect fertility.” The researchers’ hypothesis runs counter to prevailing theories about menopause, including the widely held “grandmother theory.” That theory suggests that women evolved to become infertile after a certain age to allow them to assist with rearing grandchildren, thus helping to promote survival of their children’s offspring. Kristen Hawkes, an anthropologist at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, is among the leading proponents of the grandmother theory. Other primates, such as chimpanzees, do not live as long as humans, but females of the species have a loss of fertility, or parturition, at similar ages to their human counterparts, she said. Female chimps rarely live beyond their child-bearing years, usually dying in their 30s or sometimes their 40s. “The preference men
have for young partners is a striking contrast with other primates,” Hawkes said by email, noting that it’s been well-documented that male chimpanzees prefer older females as mates. “My guess about that has been it’s a consequence of our life history - something selection would favour after - not before - our grandmothering life history evolved ... when women continue to be healthy and competent beyond their fertility.” Singh, however, doesn’t believe the grandmother theory holds up from an evolutionary perspective. “How do you evolve infertility? It is contrary to the whole notion of natural selection. Natural selection selects for fertility, for reproduction - not for stopping it,” he said. “This theory says if women were reproducing all along, and there were no preference against older women, women would be reproducing like men are for their whole lives.”

Faith; Is it Personal or Communal? In the Name of the Father, + and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; Catholics make this sign every time we enter or leave a church, each time we begin a prayer, when we impart a blessing, etc.; we are reminded that we are children of the Triune God, one God in three Persons – a God of relationship. Our God is truly a God of and for community. So much of our western mindset is geared toward the individual, often at the expense of the greater community, and yet we want to claim fellowship with God and his Church. The two may appear to be compatible, but it ultimately depends on your understanding of whom God is. Is God only in relationship with me, or is he God for all people? This is a dilemma for us today because we have been seduced into a common belief that we need to accept Jesus as our “personal Lord and Saviour,” if we hold to this viewpoint then fellowship with others is not necessary; Jesus will save me because he is my personal saviour – it doesn’t really matter who yours is – that’s for you to decide. If, on the other hand, we see God as communal, then we are called to understand that we all need to have a “personal relationship” with the Lord Jesus, and with the Father, and the Holy Spirit. We must be in relationship, fellowship, community, not just with God but with human beings and with all of God’s creation as well. This understanding is consistent with the Church’s teachings on Salvation; Jesus is not merely my personal saviour, he is the Saviour of the World, he is saviour of all. Christ is no one’s personal Lord and Saviour; he is everyone’s personal Lord and Saviour. The result is that we are called to live in community and to journey as one body of faith united in Christ. Therefore, while the individual is important in the Church (each Person in the Godhead is an Individual), unity shows forth the fullness of the Church consecrated to, and united in, the Holy Trinity, one God - undivided. A few weeks ago we celebrated the birth of our new Parish, our undivided Parish, united in love and service for the Glory of God, the Father, + the Son and the Holy Spirit. Our physical preparation to enter our “new” church home began in earnest on June 3rd with the removal of the old furnishings at OLPH. On that day the Trail Catholic Community said goodbye, not farewell, to the parishes we left behind, to some of the old small “t” traditions and many of the ways that we did things in the past in order that we may, together as one Parish, begin anew. We are a new community, we do bring many things from our old communities with us, but we must be careful not to burst the skin by putting old wine into this new wineskin. Christ calls us to New Life today, just as he called the people of ancient Judea, let us join with those who accepted his call and build up the Church in holiness here, together! We are called to reflect God in all that we do as individuals and as community; as individuals we are distinct, as Church we are one. Only as both individuals and community are we the image and likeness of God, let us strive to show it. Fr. Jim McHugh Holy Trinity Parish

Credit card debacle costlier than disclosed By Nicole Winfield
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VATICAN CITY - The Vatican put a new coin on sale last week to commemorate its historic papal transition. Too bad overseas collectors won’t be able to buy it for months. The Associated Press has learned that the Vatican still hasn’t fully resolved an embarrassing shutdown in credit card services, despite announcing four months ago that systems were back up. The impact has been far worse than the Vatican ever let on, costing the Holy See lost sales at a time when Pope Benedict XVI’s shock resigna-
tion and Pope Francis’ surprise election laid the groundwork for a bonanza in Vaticanminted papal memorabilia. It’s all emblematic of the continued troubles plaguing the Holy See’s financial system, rocked by allegations of incompetence and corruption. But the new president of the Vatican bank, while acknowledging the delays and losses stemming from the credit card shutdown, is brushing off the fiasco. “So sales will be up in the second half of the year,” Ernst von Freyberg told the AP in an interview, laughing.

Sanctuary celebrates 15 years with gala
Street party featuring rustic pizza and live music will follow theatres screening of ‘World’s Away’ BY ART HARRISON Times Staff
Trail’s Sanctuary program has been providing after school support for local pre-teens for 15 years and it’s throwing a gala bash to celebrate. The party will actually be a two-part celebration on September 14 beginning at 2 p.m. with a free family matinée followed by cake, refreshments, and a tour of the Sanctuary House. The festivities continue later in the day with a champagne reception at the Royal Theatre followed by the screening of a 3D presentation of Cirque Du Soleil’s, “Worlds Away.” After the film guests will be invited outside for an “Alley Bash”
street party behind the theatre with fresh wood fired pizza by Rustic Crust pizza, live music by the Tony Ferraro Jazz Quartet, street entertainers, a no-host bar, and a silent re-screening of the film on the outside

Sanctuary board member Brenda Hooper. “We’re also hoping it might also generate some new volunteers and, of course, any donations are welcome.” Currently, the program exists primarily with donations from Teck Ltd., the City of Trail, and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, as well as with contributions from regular monthly donors. “This Cirque Du Soleil film won’t be available anywhere else in the Kootenays,” said board member Barbara Gibson. “We’re putting on a unique event to celebrate a unique program.” Sanctuary provides a free, supportive, drop in after school program for children from eight to twelve years, Monday to Friday, from 2:30 p.m. To 7 p.m. The year-round program includes dinner for the children daily as well as activities, sports, and crafts in a safe, nurturing environment.
Sanctuary enthusiasts are ready to bring their celebration to the street.

THE BENEFITS OF PRUNING TREES AND SHRUBS
runing trees and shrubs is necessary to ensure they maintain their health and vigor. Trees and shrubs should be inspected annually to determine if they need to be pruned. Mature trees typically do not need to be pruned as frequently as young trees, which need pruning to establish branch structure. Trees and shrubs that go years without pruning can become overgrown and weak. In addition to promoting tree and shrub health, pruning pays a host of other dividends. * Pruning removes dead or diseased branches. Pruning helps a tree or shrub maintain its shape and vigor by removing broken, dead or diseased branches that can be unsightly and make it more difficult for the tree or shrub to stay healthy. When broken, dead or diseased branches are removed, trees or shrubs look healthier and add aesthetic appeal to a property. * Pruning trees and shrubs promotes growth of other plants. Trees and shrubs that go years without being pruned become overgrown, making it difficult for plants underneath or adjacent to them to grow in healthy. For example, grass beneath an overgrown tree might not get adequate sunlight, which it needs to establish strong roots so it can grow in lush and healthy. Pruning allows plants beneath the tree and shrub and even those next to the tree and shrub to grow in nicely.
Live Ladybugs on the way.
* Pruning can save money. Over time, overgrown trees might require professional assistance in order to be removed or pruned from a property. Homeowners who prune their trees as needed can save themselves the cost of a potentially pricey tree service. * Pruning adds curb appeal. A property littered with overgrown trees and shrubs hurts a home’s curb appeal, giving prospective buyers the impression that homeowners might have been careless with regard to maintaining the whole house and not just the lawn. But trees and shrubs that are pruned and well-maintained can add to a home’s curb appeal, something that goes a long way toward impressing prospective buyers.
* Pruning can sometimes bring plants back to life. Shrubs that have gone years without being pruned can sometimes still be salvaged. In some instances, pruning such shrubs can restore natural and healthy growth.
We offer a complete
Nematodes Now In!
* Pruning reduces risk of accidents. Overgrown trees can interfere with power lines, increasing the risk of accidents and power outages. In addition, overgrown trees tend to have larger, weaker limbs, which can prove hazardous and cause property damage during storms. Pruning overgrown trees reduces the risk of such accidents.

Underwear exhibit stripped from federal museum BY STEPHANIE MARIN THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA Nobody will be getting “Undressed” at Canada’s Museum of Civilization. “Undressed,” the title of an exhibition chronicling 350 years in the history of underwear, has been stripped off the museum’s schedule as it shifts its focus to Canadian history. The Museum of Civilization - which is being renamed the Museum of Canadian History - lost $70,000 in deposits it paid to reserve “Undressed” which originated with the prestigious Royal Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Mark O’Neill, president of the Gatineau museum, said in an interview that “Undressed” didn’t fit the museum’s vocation as it changes its focus. “In a sense, that was it,” he said.
“It is entirely up to the museum to organize an exhibition or not.”
Gatineau was cancelled last September, six months after it was signed. A spokeswoman for Moore said the heritage minister was unaware of the exhibition and never spoke to museum officials. “It is entirely up to the museum to organize an exhibition or not,” Jessica Fletcher said. Also, O’Neill said the decision to cancel the show had nothing to do with the pending legislation. But Nantel said he believes it’s no coincidence that the govern-

ment tabled a bill in October to change the name of the museum. The bill hasn’t been adopted yet. “One month after announcing a new vocation for the museum they decide to put the brakes on a show that fit better with the former mandate of the museum and which did not fit at all with the ideology of Mr. Moore,” Nantel said. He wondered if the cancellation was based on “puritan morality.” “Clearly, there has been interference.”

Fishing Report The West Kootenay Fishing Report is a monthly supplement offering reports and tips on how to catch fish on local lakes and streams. Kootenay Lake: The month of May had some inconsistent weather, yet fish would become aggressive on some of our hottest days when the water would finally warm up to the ideal temperature. But, then we also had some of our coldest weather and storms that seemed to set us back again. However, the big fish are biting. Rainbows over 20 pounds have been caught in the past few weeks, as well as bull trout up to 17 pounds, so things are looking good. Seem to have one or two heavy feeding days each week, and then the rest of the week the fish seem to sit back and relax. But the good days make it all worth while. Our best day last week saw three Gerrard rainbows over 15 pounds, as well as another eight fish between five and eight pounds. June is one of my favorite months. The water has finally warmed up and the fish should become more aggressive for the next little while. Lures and flies: Most fish are being caught on the surface now, so the usual bucktail flies have been working well on the choppy days, and my favorite Lyman plugs have been producing good fish on both the calm days and the windy days. Fly colors are all over the map. Not one consistent pattern lately. But some of my best patterns have been: Black/white, grey/white, and green/white, or numbers: 214, 215, 226, 228. As for Lymans: # 10, 16, 53, 55. Also, apex lures have been producing some good fish. The usual colors at this time of year being: black/ white, blue/yellow, blue/green.
The Kootenay Lake submission is courtesy of Reel Adventure Fishing Charters’ Kerry Reed. www.reeladventuresfishing.com.
Area Lakes: Champion is producing an abundance of typically smallish rainbows in the third lake, and some 12-16 inch rainbows in the second lake. Chironomids are popular among fly fishers, but warmer weather and good hatches have seen some blue wing olive and
baetis mayflies come off, making top water action productive with Adams, grey Wuulf, or a bwo pattern. Rosebud is still producing well and Summit and Box Lake, while busy, offered furious action this past weekend. Timing and technique: Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. is usually productive using chironomids and micro-leeches, and top-water action picks up during the evening hatches. On Summit, many fishers were hooking up trolling nymphs and chronies, but a dark green micro leech hung from a strike indicator with about 10-feet of leader was absolutely deadly. Fly of the Month Micro-Leech Hook: Size 10-14 #305 Dai-riki Bead: black or gold Body: wrap .20 mm lead wire to bead. Thread: Black 6/0 unithread Tail: green marabou Dubbing: Crystal Green: brush out or tease out fibres with bobbin. Also tie in black, red, olive, brown.
Tip: Local lakes can get very windy and make casting a fly difficult. During periods of high winds, seek refuge in the lee of an island or behind a point. At Summit the wind blew all day so I anchored between the two main islands on the lake, and cast my micro-leech and chironomid to the seam caused by the turbulence of the wind-blown riffle and the slack water of the lee. Insects, terrestrials, and other micro-organisms accumulate in these transition areas drawing hungry trout. Columbia: The Columbia River has been hot. Levels are much more normal than last year and caddis (trichoptera) hatches are furious, with numerous anglers lining the shore for the evening bite. Normally, either adult caddis or emerger patterns like the deep sparkle pupa or Klinkhammer caddis have produced well sub-surface, but new techniques are constantly evolving. Nymphing on the river with a strike indicator and an emerger pattern or nymph is becoming more and more popular. See GO Page 15

Columbia River collaboration
BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
Two area fly-fishing aficionados are teaming up to make the Mighty Columbia River more accessible to local and visiting anglers. Trail’s Don Freschi, host of the World Fishing Network’s Sport Fishing on the Fly (SFOTF), and Castlegar’s Dwayne D’Andrea, owner/ operator of Mountain Valley Sports Fishing and Tours, have joined forces to help promote the varied and exciting fly-angling opportunities available in the West Kootenay. “We’ve hooked up,” said Freschi, with no pun intended. “He’s a good friend of mine and we’ve done a bunch of shows together, so what better way to promote the Columbia than through a guiding company.” D’Andrea was born and raised in Castlegar and has guided on the Columbia since the early 90s. His familiarity with the ebb and flow of the river and the trout that reside in it has garnered him attention from such iconic publications as Fly-

Fisherman Magazine. He has also appeared on a variety of fly-fishing programs including New Fly Fisher, Sports Fishing BC, and of course Sports Fishing on the Fly. “Dwayne was one of the original guides on the river, one of the first guys,” said Freschi. “But he’s been playing a little bit here and there, so I told him it’s time we take it up a notch.” Freschi has eagerly climbed on board, joining D’Andrea as an assistant guide and will incorporate guided trips and guided guests into his SFOTF series, now in its 20th season. The two amiable and avid string throwers hope to attract fly fishers from all over the world and plan on taking advantage of all the Columbia has to offer, including the pike fishery near Robson, as well as the more traditional world-class rainbow and walleye fisheries. “We’ve got people from New York now, Florida, everybody coming through,” said Freschi. “It’s a worldclass fishery here and people don’t know it.”

Don Freschi (left) and Duane D’Andrea collaborate over a popular Columbia River fly. There is likely no company better to promote and realize the potential of the Columbia River fishery than Mountain Valley Sports Fishing, and yet still provide an opportunity for locals to learn about the river and angling with a fly. “The whole idea is to enlighten people on fly fishing,” added Freschi. “This could be like another Cody, Wyoming. Trail could be where people are walking around in their waders, going
to local shops, picking stuff up, and hitting the water. We could probably have six or eight fly fishing companies or guiding companies running out of Trail; it’s a missed opportunity right now.” SFOTF can be seen Saturdays on Check TV and Tuesdays on WFN.

aying attention to the wider world these days reminds me why sports, as tacky and frustrating as the pro versions may be, feel essential to wellbeing. Playing them is of course stress-reducing - whether you suck or not, just because of the physical activity - and almost always provides at least some positive reinforcement. Pondering sports, unlike thinking about politics or religio/politics, or the arrogance/ ignorance/venality of global business, can almost always lead to at least some positive impacts on lives that include them.
Watching sports live, in or out of doors, provides benefits like breathing fresh air and/or releasing emotions in generally positive ways by being supportive of either the endeavour or the participants. Even parking in front of the tube to catch some live action (no, not talking heads, that’s as bad as paying attention to politics) has the potential benefits of providing joy, like that experienced by Chicago fans who hung in there Wednesday night, or at least excitement in a safe environment, as one hopes Bruins

lots of caddisflies fluttering about does not mean there is a major hatch occurring. Unlike mayflies whose lifespan is often measured in hours after they hatch, the caddis can live many days to many months because of their ability to hydrate (drink water). Adult mayflies are unable to eat or drink, and suffer from an innate self-destruct
to their current success and prepared for future endeavours by their participation in local sports and recreation opportunities that benefit from our support - in person and by wallet proxy - over their formative years. The Times tries to provide scheduling information every week to make it easy for us to take part, and we should. Not much in the way of excuses for not taking part, then, other than physical limitations concerning the minor travel involved - and that’s what friends are for. It’s appreciated by the participants and it can be emotionally and physically beneficial to everyone in the neighbourhood.

FROM PAGE 14 According to Trail’s Don Freschi of Sport Fishing on the Fly the new UV materials have made this type of fishing better than ever. Which makes sense because most of the action actually occurs below the surface. Once they vacate their larval homes different species of caddis will drift for some time before emerging. And just because there are
tunity to do that at least most weekends. I urge you to get out and go to the venues, the pool, the ball park, the soccer field or wherever, and enjoy the activity, at least if you haven’t got a, “Game On,” of your own in which to participate. Locally, hard by the exit to the old bridge, there will a swim meet and two senior baseball doubleheaders all within the confines of the Butler Park block, this weekend, during which there will be efforts to cheer and concessions to consume.

If he refuses, go on your own to decide whether this is something you can tolerate or alleviate. Dear Annie: Why do stores think that having sales associates accost you in every aisle will make you enjoy shopping? A simple “Hello, how may I help you?” is all we need. Following us around and asking all sorts of questions is annoying. Knowing this will happen every time I enter the store
your complaint with the store manager and see whether it helps. Dear Annie: Not long ago, you printed a letter from “Too Clean, Too Fearful,” a woman with anxiety about highway travel. She did not want counseling. You suggested relaxation techniques but didn’t specifically mention Tai Chi or Qigong classes, which are available at many community centers, fitness clubs, YMCAs and senior centers. I teach both Tai Chi and Qigong and have been practicing for more than 24 years. It was part of my personal “quit smoking” program in 1988. Tai Chi is “relaxation in motion.” It is a moving meditation that teaches one how to relax in action. It is the only exercise I know that does this. Qigong is a cousin of Tai Chi. These exercises can be done in private or in a park, alone or with a friend. You can
share the activity with your spouse to learn how to relax together. They can be learned while seated for those who have difficulty standing. They can be enjoyed for a lifetime and help develop the mind, along with better balance and
coordination. Tai Chi and Qigong are dynamic, fun and relaxing, and yes, they relieve anxiety. -- Caroline Dear Caroline: Thanks for the additional suggestions. We hope our interested readers will check out these activities.

makes me want to shop elsewhere. People like to be acknowledged. They do not like to be hounded. If I want to wander around and look, I don’t enjoy being bombarded by five salespeople asking me the same stuff over and over. A customer who wants help will ask for it. Otherwise, please leave us alone. Businesses should train their employees to treat people as valued customers, not idiots. -- Toledo Dear Toledo: You make a valid argument, but we have to say, for every person who doesn’t want to be accosted, there are 10 who wish they could find a salesperson altogether. If the store employees work on commission, it would explain why they try so hard to make a sale to every customer. It usually suffices to say, “No, thank you. I’m just looking.” If not, feel free to register

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been together for five years. For the most part, we have a great relationship. The problem is, my husband is seven years older and had a few bad relationships before we got together. Because of this, he is always telling me I am a cheater and cannot be trusted. Annie, I haven’t done a single thing in my past or present to make him feel this way. It is a constant fight between us. I have suggested that maybe we should get counseling so we can work on this, but he hasn’t been willing. Is there anything else I can do to make this annoying part of our relationship go away? -- Irritated Wife Dear Irritated: A person who constantly accuses the spouse of cheating when there is no cause is either cheating himself or too insecure to function in a healthy marriage.

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, June 15, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day to introduce reforms at work or make things look more attractive. (You have the ability to communicate powerfully with others today.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Romance is powerful today, or conversely, you might meet someone you are attracted to who is powerful. This person might come from a different background. (But it’s a friendly, social day.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Discussions with a female relative will be intense today. Quite likely, they will focus on money and purchases for the home. (It looks like you can benefit your home and family today.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Conversations with others are warm yet emotional today. A partner or a close
friend might have pushy input. Nevertheless, you want to hear what this person has to say. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Important financial decisions may be made today. If so, that’s OK. Behind-thescenes help can benefit you. Perhaps you will get a better job or improve your job. (Ditto for your health.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) There might be something beautiful that you want to buy today. If so, you want it very much. However, this same energy can be applied to your determination to make money. (Money flows both ways.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Things will tend to go your way today, because the Moon is in your sign, making favorable contact with fair Venus and Pluto. Things will work well for you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) An authority figure, boss or parent will benefit you today, especially silently or behind the scenes. Whatever happens could bring improvements to your home or your family. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Discussions with others, especially females, will be powerful today. But you will enjoy them because, for
the most part, people are friendly and gracious. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Be on the lookout for ways that others can support you or that you can benefit from the wealth and resources of others. This is possible today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) If you make decisions about shared property or anything that is jointly held,
make sure that whatever happens benefits others as well as yourself. This way you win. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Powerful conversations might trigger a new romance, vacation or new arrangement with children. Nothing is casual today. Everything matters. YOU BORN TODAY You have a charming personality. You like to socialize,
