Trail is stepping carefully up the pathway that could lead to a new neighbourhood in the city. It’s been four months since Trail council passed a motion to proceed with the process to expand city boundaries to include 66 parcels of land in Area A, that run south through Columbia Gardens to the international border. All stakeholders and impacted parties have until Monday to submit their concerns to the city for the first step of the process, which includes proposal development and referrals. “That being said, if a letter comes in a day or two late, it would still be considered,” said David Perehudoff, Trail’s chief administrative officer. “We want to ensure that everyone is heard and all comments are considered as part of this very important part of the process.” Once Trail reviews those concerns and consults with affected property owners, the regional district and other potentially impacted agencies, the next step is for the city to identify the issues. Trail must attempt to resolve those concerns before submitting the proposal to the Ministry of Community Sport, and Cultural Development for further review. Although the city has not submitted a formal request to date, Trail council and representatives from the Beaver Valley communities met with Minister Coralee Oakes in separate talks at the municipal convention in Vancouver Sept. 16, confirmed Alison Giles, public officer for the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

It’s the end of September and that means that this Sunday is Rivers Day in Trail. In its first-time run with the city taking over the organization of the event the centre of operations has been moved to Jubilee Park in downtown Trail where teams and individuals will meet at 9 a.m. to be assigned areas to cover for the annual river bank clean up and gather afterwards for a free hotdog lunch and prize draws.

Construction running smoothly but complaints make for bumpy ride BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

Road closures and outdated electrical have pitted downtown Trail construction but impatient drivers and public complaints have been the real potholes, according to the lead engineer of the Victoria Street Corridor project. The $1.6 million infrastructure improvement between Tamarac Avenue and the Victoria Street Bridge is well into Phase 1 with perimeter work – sidewalks, curbs and gutters -- moving along. Paving that was scheduled for this week will extend into October, according to city engineering technician John Howes. He said while the job is on track, running only about two weeks behind schedule, public feedback would suggest anything but. “There has been repeated frustration by people, from those who don’t do their own research or just don’t plan ahead to people who are just frustrated with any sort of changing,” he said

during the Trail Times site tour. “We certainly didn’t expect this level of intensity for this duration.” Traffic is flowing steady now that construction up the highway to Warfield has stopped, Howes said, adding it was tough for flaggers to manage “waves of traffic” flowing into one lane. But the city is now fielding complaints from residents who are concerned that the new “pedestrian bulbs,” bumped out sidewalks, have done away with right turning lanes on side streets like Cedar Avenue. This traffic calming measure is used to extend the sidewalk and reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians. But the curb extension has narrowed the roadway, which means drivers now have to wait in a single lane before making a right turn onto Victoria Street and continuing onto the bridge into East Trail.

FROM PAGE 1 “There has never been a dedicated turning lane there, people just never parked that close to the corner so there was a way to sneak in there and take a right turn,” explained Howes, referring to Cedar Avenue. “There are so many non-conforming issues in this downtown area that people just assumed that was designed like that.” The only official turning lane the city is removing is the left turn into the arena just before the bridge, which needs to be done to lengthen the turning cue onto Bay Avenue. It has been 25 years since major improvements along this stretch have rolled out. That said the city has approached this extensive project with a patient hand, knowing that there may be some surprises along the way. Such has been the case at Glover Road, where a temporary closure on the lower part of the street from Green Avenue

to Victoria Street has been prolonged since a water line replacement (which services both sides of lower Glover Road) proved to be tricky given former design drawings were as old as the abandoned infrastructure found on site. The existing water line was three metres off from what the map suggested, which meant the connection didn’t coordinate with the city’s new design. “The existing water line was further out than anticipated so it shifted all the infrastructure out into the middle of the road so we had to close down the intersection,” explained Howes. “It hasn’t delayed anything; it has been the hottest topic of discussion because it has caused the largest inconvenience to people in West Trail.” What has really been time consuming is the electrical upgrades, mostly street lights, which once uncovered the city felt further work was necessary. “We thought

UBCM

Local

Conference offers up something positive for local municipalities By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

The week long meeting of municipal minds was inspirational. memorable, and in one case, a financial success according to local politicians. The annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conference hosted 162 municipalities, four First Nations, 29 regional districts and 23 hospital districts in Vancouver last week. Although 155 resolutions were read through and voted on, the provinces’s responses and possible changes to legislation, will not be released until spring 2014. The City of Trail had one resolution on the books regarding provincial funding of social service and housing programs in B.C. “From my perspective it was an excellent convention for Trail,” said Mayor Dieter Bogs at council Monday. “Attainable housing is an issue that is picking up momentum at the UBCM,” he said, “and these things usually become something the province listens to,” adding, “whether it has an impact or not this year is another question.” Although Fruitvale did not have an official resolution, Mayor Patricia Cecchini had the opportunity to make a presentation at the small communities forum about the Age

Friendly Beaver Valley program. “We received an overwhelming response by the delegates and have been asked by other small communities to start or grow their own programs,” said Cecchini. “In her speech, Minister Oakes acknowledged the work we have done so far.” The conference was a financial success for the village when the mayor was presented a $10,000 infrastructure planning grant for the sewer main realignment and lift station feasibility study, added Cecchini. Area A director, Ali Grieve, said the Rural BC Strategy was an important working part of the sessions at UBCM and focused on “the pathway to prosperity in BC runs through our rural communities.” “This is not likely big news to those of us who live in rural B.C.,” said Grieve. “This initiative is to ask the province to put more focus on what rural B.C. needs to succeed,” she explained. “Apparently someone was listening, as the Minister of Forest’s portfolio has been increased to include the Rural BC component. “This is good news.” For many years, the UBCM membership has tried to pass a resolution to extend the municipal electoral term from three to four years to align with the

provincial votes. Historically, the issue has been voted down, with some rural councillors citing the position as mainly volunteer work with minimum pay, but this year the resolution was supported by sixty percent of the voting delegation. “I opposed the motion,” said Grieve. “I believe that when someone puts their name on a ballot they should be willing to commit to at least two terms,” she said. “So this is a commitment of eight years, as opposed to six.” Grieve contends that more young people need to be representing community interests, but with such low stipends compared to the larger municipalities, the official would need to keep a full time job in the smaller rural centres to be involved in local government. “Let the larger centres go to a four year term and leave the smaller more rural communities with the three-year term,” said Grieve. Regional district chair and Fruitvale Coun. Larry Gray said that longer terms might act as a disincentive for people running for office. “Since politics in rural B.C. is often limited to retired folks due to small stipends and the need to be available for day time meetings, the four year term seems more daunting,” he explained.

Minister hears pros and cons FROM PAGE 1 “The Minister (Coralee Oakes) was encouraged to hear that the referral process was well underway and that Trail was fully prepared to address any issues than may be advance as part of this process,” said Mayor Dieter Bogs. “And she was very receptive to hear Trail’s intention to address the negative financial impact to the current service and ratepayers in Beaver Valley.” Trail council described how the newly incorporated area would look and the opportunities that would be presented with the city and Teck working in collaboration in an innovative approach to further economic development for the greater region, added Bogs. “As well as to deal with the major industrial property tax issue.” Fruitvale, Montrose and Area A combined forces to meet with Minister Oakes to express their concerns about the negative impact on

$149,900

their communities if Trail expands into the electoral land which includes the Waneta Dam. “We jointly presented our continued opposition to the proposed expansion,” said Area A director Ali Grieve, adding, “which will concentrate a majority of the tax dollars from the lower Columbia communities within a municipality that has not been able to demonstrate willingness or ability to work will with others.” The boundary expansion proposal must be modified to reflect the resolution of concerns before being submitted for provincial review. The ministry then reviews the impact on provincial interests and services, such as implications for maintenance of roads, and reviews the process and outcomes of municipal consultations and outstanding issues. At that point, Trail council will have to confirm its intent to proceed and seek the assent of its electors before the minister considers to recommend the boundary change to cabinet.

Workers from Focus Communications were making their rounds in Glenmerry last week to grounding existing cables on Telus poles. The work is part of Telus’ project to increase internet speed throughout Trail with the installation of a fibre optic network.

Map helps target areas FROM PAGE 1 “We have some amazing major sponsors for the shoreline cleanup this year, Columbia Power, Columbia Basin Trust, Teck, BC Hydro, and Kiwanis,” said Andrea Jolly, communications and events coordinator for the city. “All sponsors will either be sending a team or a representative to take part and volunteers from the Air Cadets and the Skills Centre, who previously organized the event will be there as well.” The organizers have an aerial map of the shoreline and have specific areas they hope to target for clean-up. Volunteers will be assigned areas based on the size of their teams and access to transportation to get to the locations. City of Trail and Teck trucks will be circulating to pick up garbage collected throughout the event.

In previous years the 44th Field Engineers had been on hand to tackle old vehicles and appliances that had been dumped over the river bank in the past but won’t be involved on Sunday. “The 44th Field Engineers were not available to help us this year on Rivers Day but we hope to work with them in the near future to pull some of the larger items out of the river or from the shoreline,” said Jolly. “We’ve already received some tips that there are some larger items that need to be cleaned up along the shoreline near Casino.” Volunteers are advised to wear durable footwear and will be provided with garbage bags and disposable gloves. For more information on the shoreline cleanup contact Andrea Jolly at (250) 364-0834 or by email at ajolly@trail.ca.

Information on social network is never private: expert By Alina Konevski Abbotsford News

Within 15 minutes of accepting a Facebook ‘friend’ request from a supposed female peer, a teenage girl had a shock. A middle aged police officer walked up to her at work and introduced himself as that online peer. Darren Laur has served with the Victoria police department for 28 years. He is a ‘white hatter’ who poses as a teenage girl on Facebook under an alias in order to catch predatory ‘black hatters’ and make a point about internet safety. He tracked down the teenage girl by ‘harvesting’ her social

networks. Facebook told him her full name, date of birth, type of car, and that she worked at an Athlete’s World store in Victoria. A photo of her car gave him the licence plate number. Photos with GPS tags told him where she lived, and Google Maps gave him a satellite image of her house. Laur drove to an Athlete’s World in Victoria and saw her car in the parking lot. “I found her in 15. Why? Because you’re putting way too much information into your social networks that’s making it too easy,” he said. In the past few

years, Laur has spoken to 120,000 students, including nearly all of Abbotsford’s middle and high school students, about internet safety. Students at Clayburn Middle gave him “rave reviews” on his talk on Monday, according to principal Dexter Horton. Laur spoke to a group of 80 parents at the Arts Council that same night. Before speaking at a school, Laur ‘friends’ its students on Facebook as his alias to test how many invite him in without ever meeting him. Within 30 minutes, he can usually get 20 youth inviting the alias

as a friend. “Once I’m in, I have full access,” Laur said Monday night. “Once you invite somebody in as a friend or follower, privacy settings mean nothing.” He now has over 4,000 Facebook friends, a list he is constantly cleaning out because Facebook caps friends lists at 5,000. No matter what one’s Facebook privacy settings are, a digital profile is always public. “Everything you post is public, permanent, and very searchable. The reason that Facebook is free, that Tumblr is free, is because they’re taking our information and they’re selling it. And we need to understand this fact,” said Laur. Most kids are on three or four social networks. Laur has used these to ‘creep’ about 100,000 kids in B.C. That is, he has used info from sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter to uncover personal information about teenagers. Laur has used this information, and the

student contacts he has developed through talks, to save 58 young people who were considering self-harm because of ‘sexting’ or cyber bullying gone wrong. Laur has seen ‘sexting’ – the exchange of sexual content by text message – between kids as young as Grade 5. Other teenagers – a rare minority, assured Laur – are using online chat rooms and social networks to share graphic photos and video, but don’t realize how quickly information can become public. The result are ‘sextortion’ cases where a predator uses such media to extort services from the child. British Columbia is fourth in Canada for online predation issues, according to Laur. Laur emphasizes that social networking is not an evil entity “polluting the minds of youth,” but rather the “coolest thing ever invented by humankind” that allows for incredible connections between people. But

this requires responsible use. “Most of our kids are doing uber cool things online, contrary to popular belief that kids are doing really bad stuff online…But a part of that is that we need to educate our kids about some of the realities,” said Laur. The Abbotsford school district is doing everything right to gain control of this issue, said Laur. “This district, in my opinion, has really embraced this whole issue of digital citizenship and digital literacy, and they’re taking some very proactive steps in integrating that into the schools.” It’s up to parents to enforce safe online practices at home. One major quick fix is to keep the smartphones and computers out of the bedroom, because teenagers are on social networks actively between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. Another is to learn the language. As “digital citizens,” youth have created their own online lan-

guage that parents – “digital immigrants” – usually don’t grasp, explained Laur. “If we don’t know the language, we won’t be able to understand what our kids are doing online,” he said. For example, acronyms frequently used in text messages are KPC (Keep Parents Clueless), PAW (Parents Are Watching), and POS (Parents Over the Shoulder). Laur’s talk to parents Monday night has encouraged local mom Anissa Wiebe to do more research in preparation for her eight- and nine-year old children joining social networks in a few years. “I like to be proactive, so that when we introduce it, we can do it together and it’s not going to be this shock factor, ‘oh, now you have to take my stuff away,’” she said. Laur has a wealth of recommended strategies for parents, such as monitoring software, on his site www. personalprotectionsystems.ca/

Acclaimed photographer was father of star goaltender

THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - Denis Brodeur, the father of star goalie Martin Brodeur who enjoyed a lengthy career as one of Canada’s most successful sports photographers, has died at age 82. He shot the Montreal Canadiens for several decades, first as a newspaper man and then as the team’s official photographer. Brodeur was one of two photographers to capture the iconic image of Paul Henderson celebrating the winning goal of the 1972 CanadaSoviet summit series. In 2006, he sold his archive of 110,000 photos to the National Hockey League for US$350,000. “My sympathies to the family of Denis Brodeur, the celebrated photographer who helped so many Canadians discover hockey,” Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a French-language message on social media. Fellow photographers reminisced Thursday about a gentlemanly colleague who went out of his way to help others. “In a cut-throat business, he was a true class act,” said Ryan Remiorz, a photographer for The Canadian Press who first met Brodeur while shooting Montreal Expos games in 1979. He said his veteran colleague was always willing to share advice or help with organizing logistics. “He was already a legend before I showed up.” The elder Brodeur’s career extended beyond hockey. He was also the official photographer for the Montreal Expos and shot numerous local sporting events and pro wrestling, sometimes bringing his children along with him. He would also bring his family to Florida every year for spring training. They made the lengthy drive down to Florida because Mireille Brodeur, Martin’s mother, didn’t like flying. In Florida, the family would rent a motel room. Photographers recalled visits to that motel, where Denis would set up a makeshift darkroom and Mireille cooked for the family on a hot plate. Before his media career, Denis Brodeur was also a goalie who won an Olympic medal, like his son. He backstopped the Canadian team that won the bronze at the 1956 Cortina d’Ampezzo games. The younger Brodeur had the words “Cortina d’Ampezzo 1956,” and “Salt Lake City 2002,” inscribed on his New Jersey Devils mask in honour of the father-son Olympic medals.

We have become the volcanoes now

ampaign strategist James Carville coined the phrase “It’s the economy, stupid” to focus the attention of campaign workers on the one key issue that would get Bill Clinton elected president in the 1992 US election. Alas, the authors of the Fifth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), published on Friday, have no such sage to guide them. They’ll have to make do with me. The 800-odd authors of the report are selected by their fellow scientists in the various disciplines relevant to climate change as the acknowledged leaders in their field of study. Their job was to review all 14,000 scientific papers on climate change published in the past five years. And they are doing this work at the behest of the world’s governments, not as some random pressure group; it is the InterGOVERNMENTAL Panel on Climate Change. Scientists are very cautious people. They won’t go one millimetre beyond what the evidence makes indisputable, knowing that they will be attacked by rival scientists if they do. They are much more comfortable talking about probabilities rather than

certainties. They are, in other words, a nightmare for journalists who have to transmit their findings to the world. Of the nearly one hundred scientists I have interviewed on climate change over the past five years, not one doubted that global warming is a big and frightening problem. Indeed, there was often an undercurrent of panic in their remarks. But when it comes to writing official reports, they retreat into science-speak. So the Second Assessment of the IPCC, published in 1995, said that it was more than 50 percent likely that human emissions of greenhouse gases were contributing to global warming. The Third Assessment, in 2001, raised the likelihood to 66 percent. The Fourth, in 2007, upped the ante to 90 percent, and the Fifth, this week, says 95 percent. But how do you make a headline out of that? How much warming? How fast? And with what effects on human beings? The latest report will run, in its final version, to three thousand pages, and the answers are buried among the statistics. What would Jim (Carville) do? He’d say: it’s the feedbacks, stupid.

GWYNNE

DYER World Affairs

Without the feedbacks, we could go on burning fossil fuels and cutting down the forests, and the average global temperature would creep up gradually, but so slowly that most of the inhabited parts of the planet would stay livable for a long time. But if we trigger the feedbacks, the whole thing goes runaway. The feedbacks are natural sources of warming that we activate by raising the average global temperature just a modest amount with our own greenhouse gas emissions. The consensus number used to be plus 2 degrees Celsius, but some scientists now argue that the real threshold may be as low as +1.5 degrees C. There are three main feedbacks. As the highly reflective ice and snow that covers most of the polar regions melts, the rate at which the

sun’s heat is absorbed goes up steeply over a large part of the planet. We are creating a new warming engine that will shift the planet’s heat balance, and once it has started we can’t turn it off again. There is reason to believe that it’s already too late to avoid this one. The protective covering of floating ice that has shielded the Arctic Ocean from solar heating for so long is now going fast, and we will probably see an ice-free Arctic Ocean in the AugustSeptember period as early as the 2020s. Mercifully, this is the smallest of the three major feedbacks in terms of its impact – but it triggers a bigger one. The warmer air and water in the Arctic then starts to melt the permanently frozen ground and coastal seabed (permafrost) that extends over more than ten million square km. (3 million sq. mi.) of territory, a considerably larger area than Australia. This melting releases a huge amount of methane that has been locked into the ground for millions of years. Methane is a far more effective warming agent than carbon dioxide, and so we spin closer to runaway. Finally the oceans, as they warm, release some of the vast quantities of car-

bon dioxide they absorbed in the past, simply because warmer water can contain less dissolved gas. Most of the excess heat in the Earth system has been going into the oceans in the past few decades, which is why the rise in land temperatures seems to have slowed down. But that is no real consolation: it just means that the biggest feedback is also being activated. Those are the killer feedbacks. Earth has lurched suddenly into a climate 5-6 degrees C higher than now a number of times in the past. The original warming usually came from massive, long-lasting volcanic eruptions that put a large amount of CO2 into the atmosphere – but in every case it was feedbacks like these that carried the planet up into a temperature regime where there was a massive dieback of animals and plants. We are the volcanoes now. Our own emissions would take a long time to get us up to really high average temperatures worldwide, but all we have to do is pull the trigger on the feedbacks. The rest is automatic. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

saw one low-income neighbourhood left out of the picture, while other similar areas have response rates so low the data’s validity are questionable. In other parts of Canada, many neighbourhoods were black holes. The results bear out the warnings of numerous groups about the effect of dropping the mandatory questionnaire: The details of the lives of those living in marginalized communities would be obscured, hurting the development of public policies and programs that aim to help children in school, improve the health of the impoverished and the chances of employment for those without basic job skills. Winnipeg’s West Alexander area, around the HSC, and Point Douglas neighbourhood are clear illustrations of this gap in information. Home ownership, for example, is an indication of a family’s security. At a national level, it appears to be stable compared with 2006. But Statistics Canada cannot draw a picture on the trends provincially. Census data do not simply allow governments to respond to need and businesses to plan for growth. They write the evolving story of the country for Canadians to understand each other and, in turn, themselves better. The Conservatives have muddied, severely, a chapter in one of the longestrunning narratives Canada has had. It was a big mistake. The Harper government should begin now to reintroduce the mandatory long-form questionnaire so subsequent censuses can continue to piece together the story.

Quebec needs pushback on charter An editorial from the Toronto Star If you play with fire, you risk getting burned. It’s one of the oldest saws in the book. And Quebec Premier Pauline Marois might have wanted to keep it in mind before launching her incendiary campaign for a “Charter of Quebec Values” that devalues religious minorities and offends basic notions of decency. To the credit of Quebecers, the backlash against the Parti Quebecois government’s benighted drive to suppress religious symbols has been swift and it is growing. As the Star’s Chantal Hebert and Allan Woods have reported, the charter has proved impossibly divisive. It has split Quebecers down the middle, and support for it is eroding. Montreal-area mayors representing nearly 2 million people have rejected it. So have opinion leaders such as Gerard Bouchard and Charles Taylor, who co-authored Quebec’s report on “reasonable accommodation” of minorities five years ago. Constitutional experts say the charter would not survive a Supreme Court challenge. While

framed as an affirmation of “state neutrality” in matters of religion, the charter in practice targets some religions more than others. The crucifix will remain firmly fixed in the National Assembly, atop Montreal’s mountain and around the necks of more than a few state employees. Already there has been a spate of ugly incidents, including one in Quebec City where a Muslim woman was told to remove her veil in a shopping mall and her son was spat on, and another in Saguenay where a mosque was sprayed with pig’s blood. Do Quebecers need this grief? No. And most of them don’t want it. A recent poll for L’Actualite magazine found that people ranked the charter second to last in a long string of priorities that included controlling government spending, cutting taxes, fighting corruption and creating jobs. Only independence ranked lower. Like the PQ’s obsession with independence, the charter debate is largely irrelevant to everyday concerns. Marois’ cynical charter antics discredit her party and hurt her province’s image.

Cranbrook photographer gets to follow trophy around the world By Sally MacDonald Cranbrook Townsman

A Cranbrook photographer has landed the job of a lifetime. Joel Robison is travelling the world as the lead photographer for the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour. Hired by event sponsor Coca-Cola, Robison will spend the next nine months visiting 89 countries with the trophy. “The whole idea behind this tour is to unite the world around the sport (of soccer). The campaign is called The World’s Cup and it’s designed to give the opportunity for anyone, regardless of age, gender, ability, wealth or any other factor, the chance to see the cup, and to feel like a part of the World Cup experience,” said Robison. Robison began his career as a photographer as a hobby, taking self-portraits around

Cranbrook and altering them in Photoshop to create evocative digital images with fairytale scenes. Despite a rapidly growing fan base, Robison’s photography was done part-time around his job working with special needs children at Mount Baker Secondary. Three years ago, some of his conceptual pieces posted to photo sharing website Flickr caught the eye of Coca-Cola. “I had used some Coca-Cola bottles in a few of the photos and one day got a message from someone at Coke that wanted to know if I’d be interested in letting them share my photos on their Twitter account,” Robison recalled. “Of course I agreed and I was very excited to know that they enjoyed my work enough to share it.” But the association didn’t end there.

Watered-Down Life There are many ways in which technology has improved our lives. E-mail allows us to keep in touch with friends and family more readily than traditional mail. Cell phones allow us to be reached almost anywhere on the planet and are a boon to both commerce and communication. With smart phones and I-Pads we have a whole world of information at our fingertips with just a few keystrokes. But, the downside to all of this technology is that it tends to interfere with our face-to-face interactions, watering down our lives. Consider how often we are trying to have a heart-to-heart conversation and are interrupted by the cell phone. Even worse is the person who refuses to put down their phone during a conversation, insisting that they can attend to two things at once. Many people nowadays have trouble focusing on one thing at a time, no doubt in part because they have grown up constantly multi-tasking and never really having to focus on just one thing. The real downside to this is that multi-taskers miss out on the experience of truly savoring life. There are times when we need to multi-task; the mother cooking dinner and looking after her children may not have the luxury of doing just one thing. But, there are other times when we really need to just do one thing, and do it well, such as driving a car or having an important conversation. – Christopher Simon

Pope Francis is good news

s a Catholic who has sometimes questioned her involvement with the Church, I read with great interest the full text of Pope Francis’s interview with Antonio Spadaro, S.J. recently published in the Jesuit magazine America. As I pondered the contents of the interview, these words, which I paraphrase from the Book of Isaiah, sprang to mind: “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of one who brings good news.” And Francis, in my view, is good news for Roman Catholicism. From the moment he stepped onto the balcony overlooking Saint Peter’s square, humbly bowing his head to ask for the blessing of the people, Francis began to louise change the tone of the hierarchical church at the same Everyday Theology time showing the world what it means to be a Christian. Within days of becoming pope, Francis’s small acts – paying his hotel bill, riding in the bus instead of the papal limousine, and moving into Room 201 at Santa Marta instead of into the papal apartments - communicated humility and largesse of spirit. Over the last six months, we have seen examples of his pastoral style, his informal yet gracious manner of bringing the face of God to people. Actions, such as chatting with reporters on a plane, responding candidly to impromptu questions and making “cold calls” to people who have written him for consolation, speak volumes about this pope’s expectations for the church’s engagement with the world. Speaking with Spadaro about the type of church he would like to see, Francis compared the church to a “field hospital after battle”, saying that today the church must heal wounds and warm hearts. This image of the field hospital contrasts with another image Francis draws upon later in the conversation; that of the church as a laboratory. “Ours is not a ‘lab faith,’ but a ‘journey faith,’ a historical faith. God has revealed himself as history, not as a compendium of abstract truths.” The contrast between these two images, especially when considered in light of Francis’s style, points to a change in emphasis away from moral pronouncements towards the proclamation of “the saving love of God” because “God is greater than sin.” Francis wants to take the church out of the laboratory and into the streets, where faith, culture and morality meet and frequently collide, and where abstract truths must be weighed against the actual circumstances of people’s lives. I read this interview with great interest, and received Francis’s comments about the church with enthusiasm, but I was particularly captivated with the humble and compassionate tone that animated the interview. Francis’s humility and compassion are clearly evident in what he defines as his “dogmatic certainty”: that is, “God is in every person’s life…Even if that person has been a disaster”. Francis’s dogmatic certainty is good news and it reveals the heart of the Christian faith. The church is not a laboratory for the formulation of doctrine; it is the field hospital where an encounter with God is always possible.

local Fruitvale Hands are tied, minister tells Kootenay mills Co-ops assist Children’s Hospital Foundation

Submitted Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) made a historic gift recently, of $5 million over five years to the five children’s hospital foundations in western Canada. The B.C. Children’s Foundation received $550,000, the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton received $850,000, the same as the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation in Calgary. The Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan received $1.7 million, and the Children’s Hospital Foundation in of Manitoba $1.1 million. FCL is made up of 235 retail outlets throughout the four Western provinces, the Yukon, and the NWT. Fruitvale Co-op is one of the 235 retail Co-ops and has a long tradition of supporting community events and groups throughout the Beaver Valley. “This gift by Federated Co-operatives on behalf of all local co-operatives across western Canada to each of the children’s hospitals is a continuation of this strong tradition of giving, that we execute every day”, said Fruitvale Co-op Retail Manager Pauline Bergstrom. “To share in this gift of $550,000 over five years to The BC Children’s Hospital Foundation brings immense pride to our co-operative and our members.” FCL CEO Scott Banda echoed those comments. “FFor nearly a century, co-ops have built their reputations on being the local business that cares about people and communities, partnering with others that hold similar values in support of causes that matter to each of us.”

An industry professional who attended a meeting last month between local sawmills and BC’s forests minister in Fruitvale says Steve Thomson understood their message, but made no promises. “I thought it was a very positive meeting,” says Bill Kestell, woodlands manager with Salmo’s Porcupine Lumber. “He was very down to earth and easy to talk to and made some good points. I’ve heard others felt the same way.” Kestell attended along with representatives of other

local members of the Interior Lumber Manufacturers Association, who are seeking to have constraints on their access to timber lifted. Kestell says Thomson appreciated their concerns but couldn’t offer any easy answers: “He doesn’t have the authority to get rid of the constraints. He said a lot of them are in legislation, and that’s not easy to change. So it’s up to all of us to put our heads together.” A ministry spokesman confirmed in an email: “While a full re-opening of the Kootenay-Boundary

higher level plan is unlikely, Minister Thomson has asked staff to look at options to address timber supply constraints and opportunities.” Kestell was encouraged by the backing of local politicians at the meeting. “Their support meant an awful lot to industry members,” he said. “It’s half the battle.” The lumber manufacturers approached the Regional District of Central Kootenay in July about setting up a meeting with the minister, but in the meantime scheduled one themselves and invited certain local

REgional Nakusp

Village plans on purchasing chalets to go with hot springs New foot bridge, pool and chalets make for fantastic marketing package, says village By Claire Paradis Arrow Lakes News

The Village of Nakusp is in negotiations to purchase the Cedar Chalets located next to the Nakusp Hot Springs, CAO Linda Tynan announced in a press release on Sept. 25. The Village has signed a memorandum of understanding with the owners of the Cedar Chalets, and council will borrow the money for the purchase, the amount of which will be reported to council post-deal. According to financial projections, the debt will be paid back within five years of operating. “Council had a strategic session with the hot springs looking into buy the chalets,” Tynan told the Arrow Lakes News. “Almost all the reports from past consultants have said it would be a good idea.” After the strategic session, the Village approached the current owner about buying the chalets. “It was the right timing,” said Tynan, who also stated that the Village has increased marketing efforts over the past year in response to council’s recognition of the importance of a vital, successful hot springs to the economy of the Village of Nakusp. In a statement to the media, the Village portrayed the opportunity to purchase and operate the Cedar Chalets as timely: “with the completion of the Kuskanax Creek Footbridge, the Village has an opportunity to create an exciting marketing package which will include both accommodation and hot springs passes.” The CAO also noted that having the Cedar Chalets as a private business run separately from the Nakusp Hot Springs has been a hindrance to finding a partner.

of business will be replacing the roofs on the distinctive A-frame cabins, although it likely won’t happen this year. The interiors of the cabins will also experience some upgrading as well. How the chalets would be run by the Village has not yet been determined, although Tynan said the management of the Nakusp Hot Springs is already a full-time job. The Cedar Chalets were built in 1973 by the Wethal family and since that time the family has leased the land from the Village and operated the Chalets. “Our family is very pleased that the Nakusp Hot Springs and the Cedar Chalets will be operated together,” said Connie Wethal, current operator of the Cedar Chalets. “This will be a great fit for both businesses. Over the years many of our guests have been surprised that we are not combined. This is a great marketing opportunity and will only benefit both of businesses and the Village of Nakusp.”

Smoke Eaters gear up for tough tests By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

A confident Trail Smoke Eaters team returns to the ice this weekend looking to continue their winning ways and pick up their first win on home ice. Following two big victories on the road over Merritt and Prince George, the Smoke Eaters face off against the Cowichan Valley Capitals on Friday at the Cominco Arena and follow that up with a tilt against Interior division leaders the West Kelowna Warriors on Saturday. “It will be huge,” said Smokies coach and GM Bill Birks. “The divisional opponents games are bigger, but every time we go out we have to have the mindset that we need some points. The boys got that (winning) taste again and hopefully we can roll with it for a while.” The Smoke Eaters faced Cowichan in its second regular season match Sept. 8, winning handily 6-2, but since then the Capitals have been anything but slouches, suffering only one overtime loss to the Victoria Grizzlies in their four games since. The Caps sit one point behind Powell River for the top spot in the Island division, and are

led by former Grizzly and RIT commit Myles Powell who has three goals and five assists in six games, Dane Gibson at 2-5-7 and Steen Cooper, 1-4-5, a Minnesota State commit. The Capitals are also backstopped by a very capable 20-year-old Robin Gusse, a former goaltender for the Rimouski Oceanic of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The Quebecois goaltender sports a 4-1 record with one shutout, a 1.78 GAA, and .948 save percentage. And it won’t get any easier on Saturday against an unsurprising West Kelowna team, which after losing its first two games, reeled off five wins in a row and now leads the Interior division. The Warriors also got a little better on the back end this week picking up 18-year-old defenceman Spencer Morse who played with the Moose Jaw Warriors of the WHL last season. The Warriors have seven committed players and are led by forwards Ambrose Firkus, Jason Cotton, Carl Hesler, Seb Lloyd, and David Pope, and collectively come to Trail ranked 15th in the country in the CJHL weekly poll. The Warriors are deep and if any-

thing their Achilles heel may be in goal, but netminder Andy Desautels, who has started every game for WK, is coming off his best outing - a 4-2 win over Salmon Arm Saturday. The Smokies, meanwhile, were good through-and-through last weekend, said Birks, particularly in goal where Adam Todd and Dustin Nikkel combined to stop 82 of 86 shots over the two wins. Different lines pitched in on each night with the trio of Braden Lamont, Tyson Witala, and Jake Kauppila stepping up and counting six points against Prince George, while it was a different line in on each of the three goals Friday with Adam Uflsax, Jesse Knowler, and Bryce Knapp scoring on Friday, not to mention defenceman Curtis Toneff enjoying a three-point weekend. The Smoke Eaters will need similar performances against two tough opponents in Cowichan and Kelowna this weekend, and after three less than inspiring home games against Penticton and Merritt, it is definitely time, Birks says, to “turn our home woes around.” Game time is 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday versus Cowichan and Merritt respectively at the Cominco Arena.

Birchbank tees up Fun Providence intervenes for Cunningham By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

“It’s going to be a blast,” said Birchbank Golf Club professional Dennis Bradley. Of course Bradley was referring to the up-and-coming Birchbank windup golf tournament on Oct. 5. “The inaugural tournament is all about having fun,” says Bradley. The format is an 18-hole, two-person scramble, with an 11 a.m. shotgun start, with a meal, and guaranteed prize included in the entry fee.

“Every player is going to win something,” said Bradley. “It’s a reverse draw and the last person out is getting a 2014 year membership to the club.” Birchbank has enjoyed great conditions all year, and the course will continue to operate until Oct. 31, weather permitting. The event is open to all and participants can sign up as a twosome or foursome, or a single and get paired with someone. The event is a go no matter the weath-

The deadline is Thursday, Oct. 3. so call the pro shop at 693-2255 to enter a team and putt the finishing touches on a great golf season.

By Times Staff Warfield native and Boston Bruin hopeful Craig Cunningham was sent down to the Providence Bruins earlier this week, after a lengthy and impressive stay at the Bruins camp. After surviving cuts last week and on the weekend, the Bruins were down to their last 30 play-

ers, when Boston GM Peter Chiarelli announced Monday that Cunningham and David Warsofsky had been assigned to Providence while Mike Moore was placed on waivers for the purpose of assignment to Providence. The 23-year-old was chosen by Boston in the fourth round, 97th overall, of the 2010 NHL draft.

FROM PAGE 14 The Hawks also received a great performance from B.V. goalie Brett Clark, who registered his first shut out as a Hawk. However, B.V. will be without two of its top defencemen with Archie McKinnon and Walker Sidoni nursing nagging injuries.

Smokies start unpredictable DAVE

t has been a stark reminder, keeping track of the Smoke Eaters, that they are just kids - with kids unpredictability. Since, for various reasons, my tracking has all been online, taking note of last week’s results created almost a cognitive disonance. Perhaps for the few who have seen the team live those results were less surprising. To recap - Trail had a positive opening weekend during the BCHL’s now-annual attempt to prop up a money-losing arena, gaining three of four available points on the

road, including a big two against tonight’s opponent, Cowichan Valley, which has not lost in regulation time since. Then, three straight lopsided losses on home ice and 151 minutes and 45 seconds without scoring a goal (that’s two and a half full games in which the Smokies were outscored 12-0 on a stretch where in three-plus games they were outscored 19-1). Then, the Smokies scored six unanswered goals over the next four periods and came up with road wins in very tough buildings to visit. Hard to know what to expect out of the game tonight, but uncertainty adds excitement, and entertainment value, so it should be worth a look. I hope it gets a lot of looks, because, once again, the Smokies are well down the list for attendance among BCHL clubs while being high on the list of travel and

Healthy friendships do not involve secrecy, lies Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

how much this drives me crazy. She sees nothing wrong with this communication. Could you expound on this type of affair and the potential harm it can cause? What should we do? -- Emotionally Drained Dear Drained: An emotional affair is one of emotional, rather than physical, intimacy. There is no sex. However, there is deception, betrayal, intimate communication (texts, emails, phone calls) and an emotional connection to the other person at the expense of the marriage. Often, the person involved denies that it is any kind of affair, claiming

in the mail, as well, but this has me perplexed. -- Mailbox Mary Dear Mary: Since this friend specifically told you to watch the mailbox, it means something was either lost in the mail or she forgot to send it. If the former, she probably is wondering why you haven’t said anything. If the latter, she is likely embarrassed. How good a friend? If you can casually say that whatever she meant to send never arrived, do so. Otherwise, say nothing. If she wonders why you haven’t acknowledged a card or gift, she will ask. Dear Annie: This is for “R,” whose mother is type AB and whose grandmother is type O. A person with Group O blood does not carry either the A gene or the B gene. Therefore, none of that person’s biological children can be AB. However, your advice about everyone involved getting tested

was right on. As a person who performs blood typing, I can attest to the fact that I have surprised a few people who thought they were one type when in fact they were another. -Jacksonville, Fla. Dear Fla.: Thanks for correcting us. You

are right that a Type O cannot produce a Type AB. But in exceedingly rare circumstances, an individual’s blood type can change. (This most commonly occurs after a bone marrow transplant). Mom could have been adopted, or more likely, either Mom or

Grandma is mistaken about their blood type. Our main concern is the granddaughter’s desire that Grandma be unrelated. But even if Mom were adopted, Grandma still raised her. As far as we’re concerned, that makes her the mother.

it’s “only friendship.” But healthy friendships do not involve secrecy and lies and do not threaten the marriage. Please go back to counseling. Your wife needs to understand how her actions undermine your trust, and you both must work on ways to put your marriage back together. Dear Annie: My friend and I enjoy writing letters and receiving things via regular mail. For my birthday, she told me to watch the mailbox because she was sending me something. Well, long story short, nothing arrived. I did get cards from other people in the mail. She also has my email address, but no birthday greetings came that way, either. I don’t know what to do. Do I mention that nothing ever came in the mail, or should I let it go? She’s always good about sending Christmas presents, and I send her things

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

Dear Annie: My wife of 25 years feels that emailing and texting male friends is nothing to be concerned about. By accident, I discovered she had visited one of these men when she was supposed to be at her girlfriend’s for the weekend. She swears nothing happened. But I checked her laptop and found photographs of the two of them. When I asked about the pictures, she claimed she was planning to send them to me but never got around to it. We went for counseling after the weekend trip, and things calmed down for a while. She ceased communication with that guy, as far as I can tell. But I recently found email evidence that she is still communicating with the other guy she knew from high school. They close their emails with “love you bunches” or “xxxoooxxx,” and I found one that said, “Good night, Sexy.” My wife has no idea

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, Sept. 28, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might enter into disputes about shared property, insurance matters, inheritances or anything you own jointly with others today. Don’t lose your cool. See how the wind blows. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Conversations with partners and close friends will require more patience on your part today, because people are grouchy. Use your diplomatic skills to smooth your relations with others. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your ideas about how to improve your workspace might meet with objections from others. Not everyone shares your ideas. Postpone these for a day or two. (No biggie.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Parents might find relations with children a bit

challenging today. Likewise, romantic partnerships could get bogged down in arguments. Patience is your only ally. (Whew!) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Family discussions might trigger conflict today, which is why it’s a good day to postpone important suggestions with family members. Just let sleeping dogs lie. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might feel affronted because you feel your best efforts are ignored or unappreciated. Try not to overreact, because perhaps others feel the same way. It’s a dicey day. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Try to sidestep disputes about money, earnings and possessions today. Who needs this? Not you. Why not postpone these discussions if you can? SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might feel defeat-

ed today. Your ambition is aroused, and whatever you try seems to be blocked by others. (Sheesh!) Or perhaps they resent it. Just wait and see. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Secret love affairs might cause some anxiety in your life or the life of someone else. Basically, Sagittarius is a sign that likes to be upfront and honest. (Sometimes too honest!)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Don’t blow a friendship over a disagreement today. It’s not worth it. And hey --you take your friendships seriously. Just bite your tongue and save the relationship. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Decisions that you make with an authority figure today might cause resentment on the part of someone else

--perhaps a partner. It’s tough to keep everybody happy. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because arguments are likely. There’s no need to prove anything or to be right or win. It’s always best to get along. (You know this.) YOU BORN TODAY You are seductive and romantic, but always elegantly taste-
