Support workers headed back to bargaining table

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

While students return to classrooms next week, representatives for the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) support workers will be returning to the bargaining table.

Bargaining talks broke off earlier this month after CUPE representatives walked away from the table saying the BC Public School Employers’ Association, the bargaining arm for the boards of education, was unprepared to enter into mediation.

Now, the Ministry of Education has appointed a mediator, spokesperson Peter Cameron, to assist with negotiations between CUPE and the Employers’ Association in Vancouver Wednesday.

Cameron is a labour arbitrator, mediator and former senior official

Teachers won’t cross picket lines

If an agreement is not reached, September could be a month of havoc for students if CUPE initiates strike action.

Andy Davidoff, president of the Kootenay Columbia Teachers Union, confirmed that if legal picket lines are set up on school grounds, teachers will honour the job action and not cross the lines.

“It would be pretty tough to see the school system operating because CUPE members drive us, clean our schools and work with teachers in the classroom.

They are an integral component of the educational system,” he said, adding, “I have to make this very clear, teachers will honour a (legal) CUPE picket line.”

within the B.C. labour movement.

One thing is clear, both sides are hoping for an agreement next week that will avoid disruption in the school year.

CUPE voted in favour of strike action in May, including most of its 230 local members, after a collective agreement with education workers expired over a year ago and no new contract was settled.

“I am the eternal optimist,” said Cherryl MacLeod, CUPE Local 1285 board president. “I truly hope to come back with a deal because this is our last kick at it before we strike.”

If an agreement is not reached job action could happen as soon as mid-September.

“We can’t keep being held off,” said MacLeod. “But we will use the three days to bargain and hope to come back with a deal that can be ratified.”

The Ministry of Education has taken the stance that no more money will be issued to the province’s 60 school districts to cover the two per cent wage increase 27,000 education workers in the K-12 system are asking for.

“The government has been steadfast and not changed its tune one iota,” said Scott Sutherland, spokesperson for the Ministry of Education.

“We are trying to stick to a budget, these are difficult times, and the school boards have to find savings in their budgets to pass on to their workers.”

Sutherland said that the situation for now is that support workers union (CUPE) and the provincial bargaining committee will resume negotiations Sept. 4-6.

“The provincial bargaining committee intends to work hard towards an agreement. Lead negotiator, Peter Cameron, remains hopeful that any significant disruptions of schools can be avoided.”

City steps up in support of Rivers Day

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Whether it’s a tall fishing tale, summer days on a sandy beach, or the power behind the flip of a light switch, the City of Trail and its people are intrinsically connected to the river that runs through it.

Since 2003, BC Rivers Day has been recognized in the Silver City the last Sunday in September, to celebrate the value of the Columbia River to West Kootenay culture.

In 2008, the event shifted goals from festivities at Gyro Park involving dozens of community groups manning displays and demonstrations about the river, to actual cleanup of the banks of the Columbia around Trail.

This year, it became a case of sink or swim for the annual day after long time organizers at the Skills Centre pulled out of planning the event in April.

Welcome news for Basin residents is that BC Rivers Day is set to go Sept. 29, after the city stepped up to man the helm and keep the 10-year local tradition alive.

“The Columbia River plays an integral part of our being in the city,” said Coun. Eleanor Gattafoni-Robinson. “And it is incumbent to Trail residents to keep it clean and protect our ecosystems.”

Friday, Aug 30

The city has decided on a new venue, Jubilee Park, to encourage the community to gather and enjoy the downtown area on the Esplanade while re-connecting with the river.

“For me, Jubilee Park has really come into its own,” said Gattafoni-Robinson.“It’s a beautiful place to sit and watch the Columbia River go by. It’s a wonderful thing.”

Volunteers are asked to meet at Jubilee Park that morning at 9 a.m. for registration, followed by a walk up the banks of the river for clean-up between 9:30 a.m. and noon.

“We are encouraging teams,” said Andrea Jolly, Trail’s communication and events coordinator. “But anyone who wants to pitch in last minute or on the day is welcome.”

Embracing youth in the clean-up is a vital aspect to BC Rivers Day in Greater Trail, and this year, a dozen members from the 531 Trail Air Cadet program are committed to sweeping the shoreline of debris.

“I believe that everyone who is part of this wonderful community should give a helping hand in cleaning up,” said Trail Air Cadet, Sergeant Patrick Hossack.“Being an air cadet has taught me not to just sit around and let things get done by others, but to help and give back to everyone in the area.”

Support workers ‘critical’ to a school’s team, says principal FROM PAGE 1 Support education workers fall under the public sector and their wages are governed by the cooperative gains mandate.

In 2012, the Ministry of Finance ruled that all public sector employees whose collective agreements expired on or after Dec. 31, 2011, would fall under the mandate of “cooperative gains.”

The key feature of the mandate is to provide public sector employers the ability to negotiate modest wage increases made possible by productivity increases (savings) within existing budgets.

Meaning, the school district will be responsible to cover any negotiated wage increases within its current budget.

A two per cent increase to CUPE workers puts SD20 on the line for $136,000, which is not just one time money, but on-going.

“The government has downloaded the cost of wage increases onto the school district before,” said Darrel Ganzert, SD20 board chair.

“What that would mean, plain and simple, is more job losses.”

Patrick Audet, principal of

Glenmerry Elementary School, said that CUPE members are critical to the school’s team and if they are not at work, school lives will be very, very difficult.

Audet explained that CUPE employees work with kids requiring extra help and use that first month of school as a time to bond, adding that bus drivers, responsible for transportation of children as young as five, are an integral part of safety and security for the young students.

In addition, September is laden with paperwork, in particular enrolment forms, which CUPE administrative workers are required to forward to the Ministry of Education.

“This is an important task because the forms have to be completed in a certain way to confirm enrolment,” he said. “That information our CUPE members send to the Ministry determines the funding we receive for each student for the entire year.”

CUPE represents school bus drivers, custodians, clericals, maintenance, tech and trades, education assistants, childcare and youth workers, and aboriginal education employees.

FROM PAGE 1 Teams will be assigned an area of the shoreline that spans a 1.5-kilometre stretch from Gyro Park to Casino Beach.

By enlisting help from community partners including the 44th Field Engineers and Teck, shoreline clean up has removed over 112,000 pounds of garbage and debris from the banks of the river.

Historically, most of the trash removed from the river came from car bodies, water tanks and other large metal waste.

“If you have a truck that can haul waste to the landfill, we would love that contribution,” said Jolly, adding, “we will direct you through the land fill so the tipping fees are waived.”

The city will provide disposable gloves and garbage bags and requests volunteers to wear durable shoes.

“River Day clean up is an important community service,” said Flight Corporal Nicholas Notari, two-year member of the Trail Air Cadet program.“We need to clean up our river and beach area so that it can be safe for everyone to enjoy.”

Clean-up will be followed by the Local 480 Steelworkers flipping free burgers and a draw for prizes donated by local businesses.

For information, contact Jolly at 364-0834 or email ajolly@trail.ca BC Rivers Day was established in 1980 by the Outdoor Recreation Council of B.C. to encourage improved stewardship of rivers and waterways.

The province-wide event seeks to raise public understanding of rivers and the many benefits they provide us, such as clean water, spawning salmon, historic trade and exploration routes.

Rossland

Start of school year delayed two days

By Timothy Schafer Rossland News

It’s every kid’s dream: an extension to summer.

Summer holidays for students planning to attend the former high school turned elementary school in Rossland have been extended by two days.

A missive sent out by School District 20 (Kootenay Columbia) on Monday morning is instructing parents of students at the new kindergarten to Grade 9 school to hold off sending their children to school until Sept. 5.

Granted, the window for renovation and refurbishing of the school to transition it from secondary to primary instruction was small—not even two months—but SD20 board chair

week to assess the situation.

“What we found is that while the contractors will be done, the vast majority of the work will not leave any time for teachers to prepare their rooms to be ready for the students,” he said in a press release.

The contractors will finish the majority of their work on Friday.

Over the long weekend a school district crew will clean the remaining areas of the school and move furniture and boxes into each classroom.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, school staff will be in the building preparing their rooms for students.

School will open for students on Sept. 5 at 8:30 a.m. for a full day of school.

Darrell Ganzert said the delay will be for teachers to get prepared for the students.

Teachers need to have “team” meetings, as well as one-on-one meetings with neighbouring grades, as the special needs and requirements of each student is made known, he explained.

Although some demolition took place by SD20 staff before the school year ended in June, it wasn’t until nearly mid July that the contractor could get on site to begin the task of converting former high school workshops and resource rooms into classrooms.

SD20 superintendent of schools, Greg Luterbach, said the district met with school contractors to look at the final outstanding items late last

UBCM poised to debate transportation questions

Lower local speed limits, scooter licensing proposed

BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

B.C. cities will next month debate proposals to cut the default speed limit on municipal streets to 40 kilometres per hour and to force licensing and regulation on users of motorized wheelchairs and scooters.

The two proposals are among transportation-related resolutions that will be on the floor at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver in late September.

The City of Victoria is behind the proposed cut in default speed limits from the current 50 km/h – if the lower 40 km/h default limit is adopted by the province, municipalities could still selectively designate specific roads for higher speeds.

The resolution asks for provincial aid installing new signage, including signs for roads where the speed limit would be different from the default 40 km/h.

The current default is dangerously high on some residential streets, argues Victoria Coun.

Shellie Gudgeon.

“Even laneways can be 50 km/h if it’s not signed,” Gudgeon told Black Press. “It’s far too

fast for neighbourhoods and families.”

Ian Tootill of the motorist advocacy group SENSE BC predicts drivers wouldn’t obey a 40 km/h limit and said there’s little evidence of low-speed fatalities or injuries that could be prevented with an even lower limit.

“The people who are driving this agenda are the people who underneath it all are anti-car,” Tootill said. “A lot of these people don’t even drive.”

He said another example of bureaucratic overkill is the “laughable “ proposal to regulate motorized wheelchairs and small mobility scooters.

Sidney council argues seniors drive them too fast on sidewalks without any regulation.

Their resolution to UBCM urges the province to regulate the use of motorized mobility aids, including wheelchair and scooters, and require training, testing and licensing of operators.

There’s currently no registration, insurance or licence required to operate them in B.C. The province has indicated to UBCM it intends to develop a coordinated plan for safe operation of motorized scooters, including possible amendments to the Motor Vehicle Act. The provincial coroner in

Mobility scooters are becoming more and more common on streets around the province.

2008 issued recommendations supporting scooter regulation after several scooter-riding seniors died in crashes with vehicles.

The B.C. Coalition of People with Disabilities opposes the idea.

“These are mobility devices that people need to get out into the community,” said executive director Jane Dyson. “Such a regulation would impede their independence.”

Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg he doesn’t sense it’s a major problem but added “some authority” is probably needed, preferably through prov-

incial law that lets individual cities regulate the machines if they deem it necessary.

“People are generally pretty well-behaved,” he said. “Public policy generally should not be developed for exceptions,” he said.

White Rock deputy mayor Grant Meyer questioned the impact enforcing scooter regulations would have on the city’s already busy bylaw staff.

But White Rock Coun. Larry Robinson said he’s all for it.

“There has to be some type of regulation, including you to

be approved or prescribed to use them,” he said.

Robinson said he has seen people operating electric wheelchairs holding up traffic.

And he said he knows people who don’t have a medical need for the machines but just like to use them to get around.

“I don’t think you should be able to walk into a store and walk out with an electric scooter and just drive it wherever you want.

There has to be some qualification for the use.”

Another potentially controversial resolution coming before UBCM is a call for the province to allow the use of photo radar to ticket speeders in school and playground zones.

The proposal from Penticton council argues that police-staffed speed traps and volunteer-run speed reader boards are labourintensive and have had limited success in reducing speeding.

Revenue from fines would be shared on a negotiated basis with local municipalities, Penticton suggests.

The UBCM executive hasn’t taken a position on the idea but the province has always firmly said it has no intention of reintroducing photo radar, which was eliminated in 2001.

Airport Authority “is demanding concessions but at the same time ... budgeting millions of dollars per year on capital projects.

Our members find this unacceptable.”

The union said the airport has tabled language that weakens apprenticeship provisions in the collective agreement, and wants to create a two-tier wage system by creating a new class of “seasonal” workers.

The notice comes a couple weeks after 83 per cent of the union’s members voted in favour of a strike.

The workers are members of the Union of Canadian Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Employees, a division of the public service alliance, and provide services in emergency response, customer care, passenger loading, runway maintenance and lighting, general maintenance and administration.

The airport stressed after the strike vote the tactic is a routine step in labour negotiations.

A spokesman for the airport was unavailable for immediate comment.

National Alberta floods wash away millions of work hours THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Statistics Canada says the extensive flooding that hit Alberta in June produced a net loss of 5.1 million hours of work.

The agency says 300,000 employed Albertans, or 13.5 per cent of the total working population, lost 7.5 million hours of work during the floods.

At the same time, 134,000 people, or 6.0 per cent of workers, put in 2.4 million additional hours.

There was a net loss in hours worked in all industries, except utilities and public administration.

More than a quarter of professional, scientific and technical workers missed work in the second half of June, with the number of hours lost totalling 1.4 million.

The natural resources industry also lost 1.4 million hours of work, mostly in oil and gas extraction.

Canada Post reports another big loss

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The Canada Post Group reported a $104-million loss Tuesday in its latest quarter as efforts made to cut costs and streamline operations was not enough to balance out lower mail volumes.

The federal Crown corporation says the loss comes in the midst of a “historic shift” to digital communications that has eroded mail volumes at an “accelerated pace.”

As a result, it is in the process of consultations to decide how the company can change with the times, as fewer people continue to send mail and use post offices.

Canada Post said this “multi-pronged transformation” is part of an overall effort to “avoid becoming a financial drain on taxpayers.”

The loss before taxes, compared to a loss of $102 million in the same quarter a year earlier.

Transaction mail, which includes letters, bills, and statements and accounts for half of Canada Post’s revenue, was down by 51 million pieces or 6.3 per cent in the quarter, compared with a year earlier.

However, Canada Post said its parcels delivery business grew due to the popularity of online shopping. In

Canada.

Canada Post said it continues to cut costs by making changes to collective agreements with its workers, who are members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

The changes include reduced wages for new hires, the elimination of banked sick days, and a one-year-wage wage freeze for new hires beginning 2015.

The company said the second-quarter loss it on track to record a substantial loss in 2013.

Harper, Obama agree on ‘firm response’ to Syria THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA Prime Minister Stephen Harper and President Barack Obama agree that the use of chemical weapons in Syria requires a “firm response,” without defining what such a response might entail.

The two spoke by telephone Tuesday even as the possibility of a U.S.-led strike against the rogue regime of Bashar Assad loomed larger and the U.S. defence secretary said American military forces were ready to attack if ordered.

Harper’s office said the prime minister agreed with Washington’s assessment that the Syrian regime used chemical weapons against its own people and called it an outrage.

“Both leaders agreed that significant use of chemical weapons merits a firm response from the international community in an effective and timely manner,” said Andrew MacDougall, a spokesman for Harper.

The Obama administration said the two men pledged to continue to consult closely

on potential responses by the international community.

The possibility of military strikes comes even though UN inspectors on the ground in Syria have yet to confirm the use of chemical agents.

Harper and Obama discussed the inspection effort.

“Both leaders noted efforts by the Syrian regime to delay the work of the UN chemical inspection team, suggesting the regime is attempting to obscure evidence of its actions,” MacDougall said.

In Britain, Prime Minister David Cameron recalled

Parliament for an emergency vote on Thursday in response to the alleged chemical assault.

The Arab League flatly blamed the Syrian government for the attack that activists say killed hundreds of people last week.

The league said the perpetrators must be brought to justice.

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem denied his government was behind the attack and challenged Washington to present proof of its accusations.

Quebec

English media ‘pathetic’ in coverage of PQ plan: ex-premier THE CANADIAN PRESS QUEBEC - The media of English Canada are to blame for pathetic, unfair coverage of the Parti Quebecois’ controversial minorities plan, according to prominent Pequistes.

A former premier called the coverage pitiful. And a current cabinet minister took to Twitter to condemn it Monday.

The complaints about the Anglo fourth estate came amid a furor over an impending plan by the PQ government to restrict public employees’ right to wear religious clothing.

In an interview with The Canadian Press, ex-premier Bernard Landry said he can’t accept some of the complaints directed at HIGH FRAME RATE 3D

DOLBY 7.1 SURROUND SOUND

the Quebecois.

“I take pity on some of Canada’s English newspapers,” Landry said.

“It’s infuriating but it’s so pathetic to go and say that Quebec is xenophobic and racist - when from the start of our national adventure we intermingled with Amerindians. The majority of us have Amerindian roots, one-quarter of us have Irish roots, we have had six premiers of Irish origin. What are these people talking about? Why are they so misinformed in the rest of Canada?...

“Do they think our culture minister was born on Ile d’Orleans?

It’s (Cameroonian native) Maka Kotto.

We (the PQ) elected the first black person

in the Quebec national assembly. The Bloc Quebecois elected the first Latino to the Parliament of Canada.

They should open their eyes.”

Landry made a prediction: that the rest of Canada will one day “deeply regret” having embraced the doctrine of multiculturalism.

He says it leads to a lack of integration that harms social cohesion and, pointing to Europe, he says that ultimately risks feeding right-wing extremist politics over time.

“Multiculturalism will lead to more and more problems, like in Great Britain. In Holland, in Germany, same thing. Angela Merkel came out against this doctrine a while ago.

“Immigrants themselves are the first victims of multiculturalism,” he said.

“The rule is, when you change country, you change country. They can’t expect to find everything here that they had in their country of origin. Intergration is a powerful signal that they need to adjust to a new nation. And the majority of them do it wonderfully.”

The PQ says it will put forward its Charter of Quebec Values within several weeks, and seek to get it through the legislature.

Critics have called the plan unconstitutional, or worse.

A leaked version of the proposal says the government would bar public employees from wearing religious clothing - such as turbans, kippas, hijabs and visible crucifixes.

The plan may have enough support to be adopted in the legislature.

The opposition Coalition Avenir Quebec says it would support parts of the plan, although it would apply the rules to far fewer public-sector workers.

Harper’s arctic failure stains any legacy

S

overeignty, security, patriotism and pride are all very attractive and powerful concepts have played prominently in Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s rhetoric surrounding the Arctic since being elected in 2006.

His promises to bolster Canada’s claims to the Northwest Passage, the creation of permanent Canadian Forces Ranger units to protect the nation’s North and the building of naval vessels capable of patrolling Arctic waters have consistently been highlighted as aspects of Harper’s vision for a Canada First national defence strategy.

During his recent Northern sojourn Canadians were again inundated with media images of the Prime Minister taking target practice and making announcements of federal government initiatives focusing on economic development as a key means of ensuring his continued commitment to the

Arctic.

But all that attention leaves me wondering why Harper continues to act as if the Arctic remains at the top of his defence policy priority list. He has been making promises for years to bolster a Canadian presence in the Arctic - especially in the form of the Canadian Forces - but, to date, there has been no significant progress in actually delivering on his commitments.

In a recent article in the Globe and Mail, Arctic security expert Dr. Rob Huebert asserts that Canada “has to walk its Arctic talk” and take seriously the fact that other states, including Russia and the United States, have challenged Canadian claims to its Arctic sovereignty. Huebert quite correctly pointed out that just because other states are not overtly testing Canada’s claims militarily at this point does not mean it is out of the question in the future. Further, it is a well-known fact that Arctic states and Arctic-

ROBERT

MURRAY Troy Media

interested states have all invested substantial financial, political and military resources into protecting and asserting claims of territorial sovereignty and potential resource extraction.

Canada’s negligence in these areas, however, has led to an indisputable reality: Canada has fallen so far behind in being able to achieve the goals Harper articulated that his Arctic failures are becoming a stain on his time in office.

During his time as a Prime Minister in minority parliaments, Harper was quick to defend the need

for Canada’s foreign and defence policies to focus on national security and sovereignty. The justification of a ‘Canada First’ doctrine allowed Harper and his Cabinet to rationalize a retreat from multilateralism, cuts to foreign aid spending, and a move away from the Liberal-era focus on human rights and security. But since achieving a majority government in 2011, Harper has committed Canada to a mission in Libya that had no clear impact on Canada’s national interests, has been vocally supportive of human rights protection internationally, and has placed higher value on international institutions, as exemplified with Canada’s assuming the Chair of the Arctic Council earlier this year.

Canadians were promised a new era of national security and economic development in the North, which, to date, has not occurred. While Huebert’s determination to force the government to live up to its promises is noble, the fact

remains that Harper will never be able to live up his seven years of strong Arctic rhetoric. As has been the case throughout Canadian history, in order for Canada to achieve the levels of sovereignty and security it requires and desires, it will have to depend on allies, diplomacy, and multilateral institutions.

The notion that Canada was ever going to be capable of defending its own Arctic interests is a fallacy, and though Harper has been quite effective in painting a picture of a Canada that is strong and free in the North, his track record on Arctic sovereignty tells us all we need to know.

Canada is barely hobbling its Arctic talk, and the hope of it ever actually walking it seems to be nothing more than increasingly unpersuasive political rhetoric.

the housing their parents have already acquired with 72 per cent of parents with children owning their own home.

Except for some additional operating costs (like hot water and supplies), it would be hard to justify attaching part of the mortgage and property taxes to the child. These are costs to the parents and their parental lifestyle. In measuring the cost of a child, we need to examine those costs that parents would not already have.

While there may be cases where parents incur extra costs because they choose to move to a larger home to accommodate an additional child, not all families raising children incur these costs.

Similarly, the special needs of a disabled child and the expenses related to hockey camps or private schools would not be relevant to all or even most families. Every family will have its own “cost of a child” that is related to its own situation. We just can’t predict how much they will spend.

Families are generally left free to decide how to raise their children and how much to spend.

And families at all income levels have successfully raised children and continue to do so. Most of us will know friends and colleagues who were raised in lower income families. The amount you spend on your child is not the measure of the quality of your parenting. It would be a shame if we discourage prospective parents by insisting that it costs $12,000 to $15,000 (or more) per year to raise a child.

PEOPLE OBITUARIES MCGLAME-HAMMOND, JACKIE MARLENE — It is with sadness that the family of Jackie McGlame-Hammond announces her passing on Aug. 11, 2013, in Trail, BC. A loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend.

Jackie was born on March 27, 1949, in Naniamo, BC, and grew up mostly in the Vancouver and Burnaby area. She moved to the Trail area over 35 years ago.

Early in life Jackie hinted at a future as a caring, loving mother. As little girl, she had to “borrow” the neighbors baby to “start” her family! Soon enough she was able to share her deep love with a growing family. As mother, Jackie’s heart and home was always open, making sure that even friends of her children had great birthday parties and Christmas presents under her tree.

Jackie worked a variety of occupations, including at the Pastry Shop and The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 11.

She always had a weakness for steak and lobster and loved to get together with family and friends for a game of crib or Yahtzee.

Jackie was wonderful at baking and cooking.

She took great pride in preparing food for her family and friends ... as long as they stayed out of her kitchen! She was well known for her great comebacks and witty sense of humour.

Jackie was predeceased by her parents, Ruth Berge and Henning Sorensen, husband Ted Hammond and stepson Ken Hammond.

Left to miss her soft words, caring thoughts, gentle touch, are her sons Marty (June) McGlame, Sean (Teri) Kunz, daughter Lisa Hammond and grandchildren Larena and Kennan, sisters Sheri Hovind, Bonnie (Terry) Tinline, dear friend Frank Rock, her “extra girls” Melissa Cyr, Ashley Cyr, Aoife Miller and families, stepson Mike (Jeanie) Hammond, numerous nieces and nephews, friends and neighbors.

Cremation has taken place. As per Jackie’s request a private family celebration of her life will take place at a later date.

As an expression of sympathy, donations in Jackie’s name may be made to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Fund at 4-1551 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 9M9 or BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, 938 West 28th Ave, Vancouver, BC V5Z 4H4

Hundreds of yoga practictioners from all over the East Kootenay, including Cranbrook and Kimberley, and from as far away as Calgary gathered in Fernie on Sunday iån an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest “Yoga Chain.”

Yoga hits the streets in Fernie

BY BARRY COULTER

Cranbrook Townsman

It was a brave attempt, which came up just short.

But it ended up being the biggest yoga event the East Kootenay has ever seen.

Yoga practictioners from all over the East Kootenay, including Cranbrook and Kimberley, and from as far away as Calgary, lined up Sunday, August 25, on 2nd Avenue in downtown Fernie, to try to break the Guinness World Record for the longest

ever yoga chain.

Organizer Cheryl Sherry said 600 people turned out, many of them at the last minute, but about 700 were needed. The current record is 693.

“It was an amazing event — everyone had a great time,” Sherry said. “We’ve never had that many people on 2nd Avenue before.”

This was Fernie’s first ever yoga festival, held in conjunction with that city’s Downtown Summer Socials

Series.

The chain was led by a teacher who demonstrated the first pose and then, like a domino effect, each person followed one after the other until everybody was doing that pose. Two more poses were done the same way, with sivasana (lying on their mat in relaxation) being the fourth and final pose.

Despite not having broken the world record, Sherry said she was impressed by the turnout.

“We had people from all over,” she said. “It was just amazing. I’m surprised so many people responded to posters in yoga studios in Calgary, in Kimberley and Cranbrook.

“I’m looking at this as something we can really build on for next year. We’d like to do another big event. We put this together in two and a half months — it was a last minute thing, really. So we have a year to plan for the next one.

GILBERT TAYLOR

Career spanned silent films to ‘Star Wars’

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON - Gilbert Taylor was a master of black and white and a master of different universes.

Taylor, the influential “Star Wars” cinematographer who worked on a number of stellar films alongside some of the world’s most famous directors, died on Friday at the age of 99, according to the British Society of Cinematographers.

Dee Taylor, his wife, told the BBC News that her husband died at their home on the Isle of Wight off the south coast of England.

Taylor joined the movie industry at the tail end of the silent film era, running errands and occasionally acting. Within a year, Taylor said he was hooked,“ captivated by the magic smells of film stock, acetone, and makeup.”

Taylor caught his break while working for John and Roy Boulting - the brothers were a powerful force in postwar British cinema - and went on to make seven more features for the pair, including “Seven Hours to Noon,” a thriller whose atomic age paranoia would prefigure his work on Stanley Kubrick’s

“Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.”

He was the director of photography on several distinctive black-and-white classics, including Richard Lester’s Beatlemania chronicle “A Hard Day’s Night,” and worked with a range of directors, including George Lucas, Alfred Hitchcock and Roman Polanski.

In a comment cited in the sketch, Taylor said he was “most happy to be remembered as the man who set the look for Star Wars.”

That wasn’t easy. The

sketch alludes to clashes with George Lucas and a blackand-white set design that left little room for lighting of any kind. He said the Death Star, in particular, was “like a coal mine.” He solved the problem by punching quartz lights through John Berry’s set.

“I wanted to give it a unique visual style that would distinguish it from other films in the sciencefiction genre,” he was quoted as saying. “I wanted ‘Star Wars’ to have clarity because I don’t think space is out of focus.”

Kissock has a golden season with Goldeyes Hawks camp KIJHL

By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

Fruitvale native Chris Kissock can pitch his way into the record books for the Winnipeg Goldeyes of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball as the team heads into its final two series of the season battling for a playoff spot.

Kissock is looking to top off an excellent campaign by setting the single-season Goldeye mark for most appearances, while helping Winnipeg into the post season.

After winning it all last year, the Goldeyes had to rally from a mid-season slump to get back into contention, and a torrid August has them right back in the hunt for a wild-card spot.

“Back in July when we left Quebec for Trois-Rivieres, we were four games under .500,” Winnipeg coach Rick Forney said Monday morning on the Goldeyes website. “Now we’re 11 games above .500. We’ve had a really good six weeks.

We’re 15 games over .500 in that stretch and now we have a really big week. This is pretty exciting.”

The Goldeyes have won seven of their last eight games to climb within 1 ½ games of the wild-card spot after trailing the Gary Southshore Railcats by 6 ½ games just three weeks ago.

“We were out of it there for a little while then we just started winning and I think we’re only one-and-a-half games back for the wild card,” said Kissock from Winnipeg Sunday. “It was a mix of injuries and our shortstop got picked up, so our left fielder is now playing shortstop, which he’s not doing a bad job but he’s still our left fielder.”

Kissock has been a big part of that resurgence. The former Trail AM Ford Oriole has appeared in 46 games so far this season and is looking to catch and break the team record of 51. The 28-year-old right hander is also among the leaders in every pitching stat, including strikeouts, 50, and ERA, .226. He’s allowed 14 earned runs on 43 hits, and ceded just seven walks in 50 innings pitched.

“I’ve been chasing a record

ductive.

“There was times I was pitching six games in seven days, which was kind of good for me, I’m pitching a lot,” he added. “Coming back from last year being hurt and everything, it’s nice being healthy. I am actually throwing the ball better than I have in a long time.”

Kissock has also reclaimed ownership of his split-finger fast ball, a deceptively deadly pitch that was taken away from him early on in his pro career.

“This is my first full year since college that I’ve been able to throw my split finger, and that’s mainly what I’ve been getting all my strikeouts on.

It’s my best pitch and with the Phillies they took it away from me when I got drafted.”

While the Phillies were trying to protect him from injury, Kissock has since excelled with the pitch, garnering more strikeouts than innings pitched for the first time in his career.

He will look to equal or break the record this week as the Goldeyes close out their season with a four-game series against the St. Paul Saints, and a three-game tilt with division leading the Fargo-Moorhead Red Hawks. Likely, Kissock’s shot at the mark will coincide Submitted photo with the team’s success in makFruitvale native Chris Kissock is in the midst of a playoff hunt with ing up ground on the Railcats the Winnipeg Goldeyes, and can also set a record if he sees enough for the wild card berth, and action in the final week of Independent Professional baseball play. right now both pitcher and coach are happy to be playing for the Goldeyes,” said Kissock. the ninth round of the 2007 for something in August.

By Times Staff The Beaver Valley Nitehawks training camp is in full swing at the Beaver Valley Arena this week.

Close to 70 skaters and eight goalies from ages 14 to 20 hit the ice for a series of workouts and scrimmages this week. The players were split into four different teams, practicing for the first two days, Monday and Tuesday, of camp before beginning a round-robin mini-series Tuesday evening.

Terry Van Horn (middle) was the unequivocal winner at the Birchbank Ladies Club championship on the weekend, while runner up Sophia Park (left) took home the Francis Lauriente Rose Bowl for least putts and Barb Secco won the overall low net title.

BY TIMES CONTRIBUTOR

The Birchbank Ladies Club Championship teed off this weekend in a twoday tournament that saw close to 30 golfers compete for the top prize.

The ladies drove from the red tees on Saturday and the more challenging white tees on Sunday, and in the end it was 2012 runner-up Terry Van Horn that raised the championship trophy with a two-day score of 164.

Van Horn rarely missed on Saturday building a six-stroke lead over defending champion Sophia Park on her way to an impressive 6-over-par 78 on the 5,345 yard,

par-72 course.

Van Horn wouldn’t let up on Sunday, increasing her lead to 12 strokes over Park and winning the 2013 Club Championship with a two-day total of 164.

Park took home runner-up low gross with a 176, and her 56 putts over two days, earned her the Francis Lauriente Rose Bowl for least putts.

Barb Secco, with an overall low net of 137, was the winner of the Elsie Buchanan plaque.

In flight #1 the low gross winner went to Maureen Elliott with a 179, and the runnerup was Sheila Johnson who carded a 183.

The low net went to Michelle Hansen with a 145, with second place going to Susan Kim, 148.

In the second flight, Doreen Campbell earned low-gross honours with a 198, narrowly edging runner up Jami Fowlie at 199.

Eileen Holm captured low net with a 138, while Fran Gelinas’ 140 was good enough for second spot.

THE CANADIAN PRESS NEW YORK, New York - Milos Raonic has advanced to the second round of the U.S. Open.

The 10th-seeded player from Thornhill, Ont., defeated Italian qualifier Thomas Fabbiano 6-3, 7-6 (6), 6-3 on Tuesday.

“In general, it was a good day,” said Raonic.

Raonic will face Pablo Andujar in the second round after the Spaniard beat Thiemo de Bakker of the Netherlands 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

“He started doing well in 2011, just like me,” Raonic said of Andujar. “He’s very consistent. He can be aggressive, especially with his forehand, and I’ve got to play more aggressive than I did today.

“I’ve got to clean up a bit off the baseline and hopefully serve like I did today.”

Raonic put on a serving display against the 179th-ranked Fabbiano, who was making his Grand Slam debut. The Italian gave only the slightest hint of trouble when he got a break back

in the second set for lead in the third set 4-all before losing the and sealed the vicset in a tiebreaker. tory with a series of “I know untouch“I was struggling a b l e he’s very capable, I serves. definitely from remember T h e the baseline, but Canadian him from when I sort of juniors,” finished Raonic with 52 needed it I was said of able to pick it up winners, Fabbiano. including on both sides.”

“He got 28 aces. through “Serve MILOS RAONIC quallies, helped so he must for sure, be playing got me well in that situation. get through a lot of I just sort of dealt with difficult situations,” it as best I could, and said Raonic.

I’m happy with how “I was struggling the result turned out.” definitely from the Raonic took a 4-2 baseline, but when I

Vasek Pospisil of Vernon, B.C., is scheduled to return to the court Tuesday to complete a first-round rain-delayed match from Monday.

The Rogers Cup semifinalist was leading Brazilian qualifier Rogerio Dutra Silva 6-4, 6-3, 6-7 (9), 0-4 but appeared to have suffered a leg injury during the match.

In the women’s draw, Aleksandra Wozniak of Blainville, Que., faces Vesna Dolonc of Serbia.

Break the loop to help relieve PTSD Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

ents and me with hostility, and I am worried about returning to school. How can I move on? My mind is taking a beating. -- Still Reliving the Misery Dear Still: Any trauma can lead to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which causes the sufferer to relive the event over and over. You need to find a way to break the loop in your thinking. If you can do this by imagining a different, more empowering outcome, great. It’s also possible that once school starts, your coach will simply ignore the incident, and you can do the same.

Or you could approach him in a mature fash-

can’t keep his hands off of the waitresses at our favorite restaurant, and he ogles every woman who walks by.

I won’t be going to my 50th class reunion.

I can’t leave him alone for a second, and I certainly don’t want him running off with one of my classmates. I don’t want to go out of my house anymore.

What should I do? -Humiliated Wife Dear Wife: Your husband is in his late 70s. In some instances, as a person ages, early signs of dementia start to show up, and one of them is the loss of inhibition. Unless your husband has exhibited such behavior during your entire marriage, we believe his problem is age related.

This doesn’t make it less irritating or worrisome, of course, but it’s possible he could be helped by seeing his doctor. Insist that he make an appointment, and go with him. If the doctor is not experi-

enced in this area, ask to be referred to someone who is.

Dear Annie: My sympathy for “Shady Family Business,” who wants to change his name because some of his family was engaged in not quite legal doings.

It is very likely that the majority of us have forebears who have engaged in activities that would humiliate and horrify us. Even those who discover that they are related to the rich and famous could easily uncover shameful doings in

those illustrious backgrounds.

Let the dead past lie. If your family has done things of which you are not proud, your lifetime can show that the bloodline is also capable of good.

Dear Annie: Last week, I walked into our computer room to see my husband trying desperately to hit the delete button and get rid of an email he did not want me to see.

I managed to glance at the woman’s name, however, and asked him who it was. Well, she is the one I suspected he hooked up with at his 50th class reunion. There were about five hours during the weekend that he could not account for.

His 95-year-old mother knows this woman and says, “She’s such a nice girl and married. She would never do such a thing.”

And she says the same about my husband. I don’t believe this. My husband suddenly

2013 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Dear Annie: Earlier this year, I was caught up in a liability issue with my high school track coach. I had a knee injury and was being treated by a sports chiropractor, with the full approval of the superintendent of the school district. My coach, however, rejected the note from the chiropractor and caused me horrible stress and anxiety with the unnecessary demand that I see an internist. The principal said I had to do it.

The internist said that the school and the coach were being ridiculous.

Several months later, I am still thinking about everything that happened, and I sometimes become so obsessed with it that I suffer horrible anxiety. Every time a friend asks what happened, I become emotionally and mentally unstable and relive it.

This former track coach treated my par-

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Thursday, Aug 29, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a productive day at work because you have the energy and concentration for it. Focus on tasks that require attention to detail, because you will be successful.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a good day to teach children something, because they will listen. People are in a serious frame of mind and willing to learn. Meanwhile, romantic discussions about the division of labor or shared costs will go well.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Practical discussions with an older family member might get things on the road today. Now you have a sense of what needs to be done and how you’re going to do it.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is an excellent day for long-range planning and

practical discussions. You’re willing to work because you want useful results.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a good day to discuss budgets and how to conserve money and restrict spending. If you shop, you will buy long-lasting, practical items.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Because you have an orderly state of mind today, you will be productive. You’re willing to forgo today’s pleasure for tomorrow’s gain.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Work alone or behind the scenes today because this is how you will get the most done. You don’t want interruptions. You simply want to focus on work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Advice or instructions from someone older or more experienced might help you today. After all, you don’t have to invent the wheel

again, do you?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Discussions with bosses, parents, teachers, the police and authority figures in your life will be productive today.

Be polite, and see what they have to offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a good day to tie up loose ends about travel plans or anything having to do with higher education.

You won’t overlook details because you are focused.

You can make headway.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Wrap up unfinished business regarding inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt and insurance matters. You want this completed, and so do others.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Discussions with partners and close friends will be seri-

ous today. Listen to advice that is offered. You want to grasp as much as you can about what is going on around you.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a wonderful imagination; at times, you are whimsical. You’re good at improvising because you are practical and inventive.

You’re an excellent problem solver, but you might be so involved in whatever you do, your mate is “lonely.”
