Earth Ranger Meghan Woodworth had the attention of St. Michael’s students on Tuesday morning for her demonstration of animal behaviour. Woodworth brought a Harris’s Hawk, whiptail lizard and a barn owl (shown in photo) to the school for the presentation. The Earth Rangers School Outreach Program is visiting 550 schools across Canada to share its conservation message and educate students about protecting animals and their habitat. The program is visiting nine schools in the Greater Trail area thanks to its partnership with Teck.
Harvest Rescue serves double purpose BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
Harvest Rescue isn’t just about keeping the bears out of the neighbourhood. For a number of years, WildSafeBC (formerly known as Bear Aware) has been in the community ready to pick fruit from trees to deter the forage of bears, but this year a group of volunteers is ready to pick and bring the fresh bounty home for their families to enjoy. “I think most people who are on the list to pick fruit do so because they
don’t have mature trees of their own,” said Sita Lawson, volunteer for Harvest Rescue in Trail, Montrose and Fruitvale. “It’s more about getting involved to make use of the fruit and not letting it go to waste.” Harvest Rescue volunteers are ready to pick fruit at homes where the homeowner is absent, elderly or incapacitated. “Once in a while if the homeowner can’t do it themselves we will go and clean up the area if the fruit is not useful.”

Recently Lawson volunteered to pick fruit that was small and riddled with worms. “I went over and picked and took the fruit to the bird rescue (BEAKS) in Castlegar so even that didn’t go to waste.” The Rossland Community Garden in Jubilee Park is the site of the annual Community Fruit Press Day on Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., which is an event for people to bring in apples to press into juice.

The all-party committee on finance and government got an earful from Kootenay residents during the public consultation meeting in Trail Tuesday morning. Every fall, a select standing committee of MLAs host 17 public consultations across B.C. to give citizens an opportunity to present ideas for next year’s provincial budget. Although each community has its own unique concerns, an overall message the MLAs are hearing is the need for a balanced budget, according to Dan Ashton, Penticton’s MLA and committee chair. Ashton might be “I’ve heard loud a familiar name to and clear that local citizens. His people realize family owned the well known retail times are difficult store, Ashton’s and there are Ladies Wear, in constraints.” downtown Trail until the early DAN ASHTON 2000’s. “I’ve heard loud and clear that people realize times are difficult and there are constraints,” said Ashton. “But people want government to ensure those hard earned tax dollars are looked after and that they want a balanced budget.” Ashton conceded that during the public meetings, speakers from municipalities, and various societies, agencies and education institutions are asking the committee to consider increasing allotments to keep up with inflationary times, which was a recurring theme during the Trail meeting. Selkirk College Student’s Union representatives Natalia Swartz and Zachary Crispin were first to speak, and emphasized how funding cuts have impacted the student body as a whole. “Cuts in funding increase student debt and create a system that does not meet the needs of high quality accessible education,” said Swartz. She recommended an increase in funding to the college, a decrease in tuition fees, elimination of student loan interest and further non-repayable student aid programs. Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy members spoke about the key role the program plays in educating adults and families of all ages, and asked for $2.5 million to “support literacy in our province.” Selkirk College representatives submitted a written report to the committee and emphasized the challenge to provide education and training to meet the needs of the workforce in See REPORT, Page 3

Harvest time at organic vineyard By Sheri Regnier Times Staff
Like a fine wine, a local farmer’s vineyard gets better with age. SOAHC Estate Wines is in its first year of full harvest and owners Jamie Fochuk and Kim McLaughlin were in the fields picking plump white grapes from heavily laden vines at the crack of dawn Friday morning. “Today is called a flower day, “said Fochuk, referring to the philosophy of biodynamic farming. “It’s a perfect day to plant bulbs for next year, harvest anything that is flower, and a really good day to pick wine grapes.” With the help of family and friends, Fochuk and McLaughlin planted a 6.7 acre bench of vines in 2010, growing chardonnay and riesling varietals, with a goal to harvest the mature vines this year. “Last year we had 50 cases,” he said. “This year so far we have four times that already and hoping for 500 to 800 cases.” After full days of
planting, pruning and harvesting, Fochuk transports the grapes to a site in Okanagan Falls where he is growing his hand in oenology, the art of winemaking. He has worked at five wineries across the country in the last two decades, and now has enough grapes to produce white wines under the SOAHC label, which is expected to hit store shelves next year. “Grapes don’t make money,” he said. “We can’t sell grapes to make wine, we would literally starve if I didn’t make the wine.” Fochuk and his wife settled into 150 acres of Columbia Gardens land in 2006, after seven years of studying the weather and astronomy in the region before digging into the soil using the art of biodynamic viticulture (grape growing). Biodynamics refers to the practise of organic farming, astronomy, and a philosophy called anthroposophy, which includes understanding the ecological,

Developer sticks with plan for former school site By Timothy Schafer Rossland News
The developer of the Cooke Street project won’t renege on his development designs despite an outpouring of neighbourhood concerns against the development last week. Over 40 people turned up in city council chambers last week (Sept. 23) but only eight people spoke to express their thoughts on the 24-unit development slated for the old Cooke Avenue school site. They cited everything from the height of the four structures, to its density (24 units) to an increase in traffic, to the amount of driveways it would contain, all as safety issues that would not make it a good fit for the neighbourhood. But developer Cezary Ksiazek said that every design element in the project had been crafted under the guidelines laid out by the city’s Official Community Plan. The design for the development had already been approved by the city’s planning department, said Ksiazek. “I will not make changes because four people say something, he said. “It’s not like I’m asking for something special, it’s within the rules.” The purpose of the Sept. 23 public hearing was to consider the Ksiazek’s request that the city advance a rezone on two large lots located on the former school site to allow a change in zoning from P1—public institutional to CD 6—mixed residential. Ksiazek was adamant the development conformed to the OCP, including the future projected housing demand for Rossland (page 23, OCP) that is coming as the population swells from 4,623 to 5,055 in 2017. He said the OCP noted having mixed forms of housing like the development proposed was especially applicable to Rossland due to the limited supply of developable land and its topography. On page 36 of the OCP it encouraged cluster development to allow the protection of natural features on a site, to minimize the on-site footprint of the development and to minimize the road lengths. The project also had the support of the Rossland Chamber of Commerce. In a letter from chamber president Paul Gluska, it was noted the “project would create jobs within the community, another economic benefit. “The Cooke Avenue School project would diversify building stock, create jobs, and attract young families to our community by offering an affordable alternative,” said Gluska in the letter. The matter will now come back to council and be dealt with in early November.

policy and the preservation of province farmlands. “How vital and precious is our land,” she said, adding “any jurisdiction that cannot feed itself is at the mercy of whoever can.” The consultations began last month, following the release of the budget consultation by Finance Minister Michael De Jong. The parliamentary committee is required to compile the public presentations in a report to submit to the legislative assembly Nov. 15. “I can assure you there will be a lot of discussion about the pros and cons of everything the committee has heard, “said Ashton. “We’ve heard from a broad cross section of folks today and have much input to consider.”
Bears in feeding mode prior to hibernation FROM PAGE 1 “There is an interesting history about the press which was built by Rossland residents years before Bear Aware starting managing the event over 10 years ago,” said Wieder. “People can book a time to bring apples to press for juice.

Having someone help pick and sharing fruit all helps to keep the bears out.” Since the inception of Bear Aware the annual destruction of bears across the province has dropped from almost 1,000 a year to approximately 500 animals a year.

School boards knew of CUPE costs, says minister By Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Education Minister Peter Fassbender says boards protesting the cost of a 3.5 per cent raise for school support should have known it was coming, but some opted to wait and hope for an NDP government to take over. Fassbender said in an interview that school trustees have been working with the education ministry for months on “savings plans.” They

Liberal government would not increase budgets to cover a raise for workers who haven’t seen one in four years, and have been without a contract for more than a year. “I think there was some hope on the part of some [trustees] that we would, with our backs to the wall perhaps, come up with additional dollars,” Fasssbender said. “And the other reality, quite honestly, was that up until May 14 there was some anticipation that there was going to be a change of govern-

Climate change will likely mean warmer, rainier winters in B.C. as well as reduced summer stream flows, a forum in Vancouver heard Monday as new international findings were released. Dr. Francis Zwiers, director of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC) and vicechair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) working group 1, said projections for B.C. point to further warming of 2.9 degrees in the winter and 2.4 degrees in the summer by 2100, under a moderate carbon emission scenario. Winter warming on that scale could translate into 17 to 51 more days per year of frost-free conditions, he told the forum, in the wake of the already measured reduction of 24 annual frost days since 1900 and a 2.1-degree increase in the province’s winter temperatures. While a longer growing season might be a

a “cooperative gains” contract. Fassbender and Premier Christy Clark have offered to fund raises for teachers, if they will agree to a long-term settlement. Fassbender said the expired support staff contracts had to be dealt with first, and new negotiations with CUPE will have to begin soon.

boon to gardeners and farmers, Zwiers noted warming winters have also allowed unwanted species like the mountain pine beetle to flourish and wreak havoc on Interior forests. “You can just imagine there would be many other organisms that would find B.C. to be a much more hospitable place to live, even in a slightly warmer climate than we have at the moment, or a slightly wetter climate than we have at the moment.” PCIC researchers projected climate changes in B.C. over the rest of this century using the same models as the IPCC. Winter warming would be greater in the northeast than other parts of the province, while summer warming projections are roughly uniform. Zwiers said the modeling shows winter, spring and fall precipitation will increase in B.C., with a 10 per cent increase in precipitation in winters expected and summers potentially getting wetter in the north but drier in the south. Wetter, warmer winters could affect the province’s supply of water for drinking, farming, power generation and salmon migration. With less water being stored as snow over the winter, Zwiers said, B.C. can expect higher amounts of winter and spring runoff, leaving less behind in the upper elevations to deliver water in summer.

Women campaign for gender-neural ‘O Canada’
THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A group of notable Canadian women is launching a campaign for gender-neutral language in the English lyrics of O Canada. The group said the change would restore Canada’s English national anthem to its original gender-neutral intentions. The group - which includes author Margaret Atwood and former prime minister Kim Campbell - has set up a website to promote the idea. It is calling on Canadians to join the campaign and encourage Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government to change the line “in all thy sons command” to “in all of us command.” RestoreOurAnthem.ca is being launched on the 100th anniversary of the change made to Judge Robert Stanley Weir’s original English lyrics. The coalition says for no documented reason the lyrics were revised in 1913 from “thou dost in us command” to “in all thy sons command” and that it is time to make a change to reflect the inclusive intentions of the original lyrics. Other members of the group include Senator Nancy Ruth, retired senator, author and fashion designer Vivienne Poy and Sally Goddard, mother of Nichola Goddard, the first female Canadian soldier killed in combat.

Veterans charter leaves some ex-soldiers in poverty: report THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The federal government must be prodded to continue making improvements to its socalled veterans charter to ensure vulnerable former soldiers aren’t left living in poverty, Canada’s veterans ombudsman said Tuesday. Guy Parent’s long-awaited assessment of the government’s so-called veterans charter found that veterans are receiving inadequate compensation from the government for their pain and suffering. Hundreds of severely disabled veterans, in particular, will also take a financial hit once they retire because some of their benefits will end and they don’t have military pensions, Parent says in the report. Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino has said the government will support a House of Commons committee as it looks at how changes to the charter enacted in 2011 have affected those benefits. But additional changes are needed - and quickly, said Parent, who acknowledged that both his own office and veterans organizations across Canada must compel politicians to keep their promises to fix a broken system. “We have been working on the veterans charter improvements for many years and so have many other veterans representative groups,” he told a news conference in Ottawa. “What is important here is to hold the parliamentarians to their promise when they first introduced it, that there will be continuous improvement. “And it’s very hard to believe that statement when in fact for six years there was nothing done about the charter.” The ombudsman’s office carried out a detailed comparison of benefits and entitlements under the new veterans charter and those from the old pension-for-life system used since the end of the First World War. The Conservatives overhauled the charter in 2011 following complaints that it was nowhere near as generous as the old system. Those enhancements, which included more money to replace lost income, will be reviewed by MPs this fall. A review of Bill C-55, which enacted the enhancements made in 2011, is required by legislation. But Fantino has already committed to a comprehensive review that will go beyond what is required, said spokesman Joshua Zanin. “The report that has been put
www.MyAlternatives.ca
OTTAWA - Some of the recommendations from the review of the federal government’s veterans charter, released Tuesday: - Provide additional financial support after age 65 to eligible veterans who are totally and permanently incapacitated; - Increase the earnings loss benefit to 90 per cent of prerelease salary, and provide the same benefit to former part-time Reserve Force members whose injury or illness is related to service; - Base the annual cost of living adjustment to the benefit on actual annual increases in the cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index; - Increase the maximum disability amount to the maximum judicial cap for non-pecuniary damages awarded by Canadian courts; - Review and reassess the maximum amount to fairly compensate Canadian Forces members and veterans for pain and suffering resulting from an injury or illness in service to Canada; together by the ombudsman will specifically be used to inform the broader review that the minister has called for.” Parent dismissed the suggestion that improving benefits to veterans is a pricey proposition.“The cost of doing nothing now will have a humongous human cost later on,” he said. Improving disability awards to veterans would cost taxpayers about $70 million, said the report. In addition, access to allowances and supplements for permanent impairments is expected to run between $8 million and $10 million annually. Concerns about gaps in compensation payments for veterans are nothing new, and the government has had ample time to correct the situation, said NDP defence critic Jack Harris. It remains unclear just how Tuesday’s report will impact an ongoing lawsuit by former service members who took part in the mission in Afghanistan. The younger veterans argue that the new charter discriminates against them and provides less to them than soldiers who served in the Second World War, Korea and on peacekeeping operations.

In politics, competence often trumps charisma
S
eptember brought three interesting international elections - in Australia, Norway, and Germany. While the incumbents were defeated in the first two, Angela Merkel romped home for a third term in Germany. On September 7, Tony Abbot’s Liberal/National (politically conservative) coalition ousted an Australian Labour government that had been in power for six years. For the defeated Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, it was perhaps the final humiliation in a career that once seemed so promising. When he first took office in 2007, many observers saw Rudd as a new giant on the Australian landscape. Indeed, there were those who considered him an example of the kind of 21st century leader who would surely come to dominate the international stage - a multi-lingual intellectual with an informed global perspective and impeccably centre-left political views. (Here in Canada, some pundits felt the same way about Michael Ignatieff for a while.) But the Rudd reality was
very different, so much so that his own party turfed him from office in 2010, only to bring him back in 2013 when his successor, Julia Gillard, seemed headed for electoral disaster. But it was to no avail. A private opposition document characterised Rudd’s fundamental problem as “grandiose narcissism.” Put simply, he believed himself to be the smartest person on the planet and behaved accordingly. For those in love with the idea of intellectuals in politics, it’s a sobering lesson - or at least it ought to be. Norway’s September 9 election turned out much as I had earlier suggested it would. Conservative Erna Solberg evicted Labour’s Jens Stoltenberg from the prime minister’s office. Given Norway’s prosperity and long-term social democratic pedigree, it was an interesting development. However, no such unhappy fate awaited Germany’s Angela Merkel. On September 22, she even managed to increase her popular support by almost eight percentage points, giving her Christian

Democratic Union/ Christian Social Union its best performance since 1994. Notwithstanding her doctorate in quantum chemistry, Merkel likes to associate herself with the values of the “thrifty Swabian housewife.” For her, grandiosity is something to be kept under wraps. In an age infatuated with flash, this contrasting Merkel style has its own very real strengths. So what, if any, conclusions can be drawn from this? Noting the centre-right political orientation of the three winners, there may be a temptation to detect an international move in that direction. But such a proposition is a bridge too far. Governments often
defeat themselves, either by messing up badly or simply wearing out their welcome. And both of those factors were at work in Australia and Norway. That said, the results remind us of some enduring truths. As Merkel’s big win underlines, perceived economic competence is a major trump card in turbulent times. Charisma is fine and dandy, but a demonstrably safe pair of hands assumes great importance when wolves are on the prowl. Then there’s the old adage that all politics are ultimately local. Put another way, everyone likes the idea of their country being held in high global regard, but when the chips are down perceived national interest will take precedence. For instance, Merkel has come under substantial international criticism for allegedly not thinking big enough on the subject of Europe. She should, so the story goes, be more expansive in backstopping the flailing economies of the European periphery and more accommodating in terms of
stimulus, even at the risk of higher inflation. But Germans don’t want that. And while the details may be different, Australia showed a similar characteristic. International opinion tended to strongly favour Labour, in part because of Abbot’s expressed intention to abolish the carbon tax. As someone put it, Australia would be left without a climate change policy! But although it renders the likes of David Suzuki apoplectic, that’s precisely what’s going to happen. Abbot won and he intends to follow through on the abolition of the tax. Finally, there’s the fragility of conventional wisdom. Just as Stephen Harper was once considered unelectable in Canada, so too was Abbot in Australia. Now, like Harper, he’s prime minister. Here’s the thing about conventional wisdom. Often, the only accurate part of the designation is the “conventional” bit. Troy Media columnist Pat Murphy worked in the Canadian financial services industry for over 30 years. Originally from Ireland, he has a degree in history and economics.

Despite being made aware of the level of ecosystem destruction by this report the Conservative government still promotes the tar sands industry as a responsible and sustainable resource development.

Patnerships help CBAL deliver literacy programs T R A I L – T h e Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) is respected locally and beyond for our leadership in community-based literacy programs, but this success could not have been possible without the partnerships that exist across the region. Partnerships are essential to the work we do and the most effective have been a result of a few key ingredients. First, an issue or challenge drives communities to seek solutions and participation from traditional and non-traditional partners. Second, a working relationship based on mutual respect, collaboration and open communication must be established among partners. Third, the acknowledgement of a shared goal and the steps to achieve that goal must be identified.
These ingredients become the beliefs and values of the partnership and create a forward path to change. Across the region, partnerships are working to support literacy initiatives. Regionally, CBAL partners with Selkirk College, College of the Rockies, Okanagan College and College of New Caledonia to support adult literacy initiatives. As a result, more adults are able to participate in learning opportunities in non-traditional settings. These programs support the development of parenting, life, workplace and academic skills. Locally, CBAL programs are partnering daily to deliver programs. Not only does CBAL partner with colleges, but we partner with school districts, libraries and other community organizations. Visit

But this time it can’t be blamed on any political dithering: it’s purely Mother Nature’s fault. While the facility in Art Gibbon Park in Rosemont was expected to hold its ribbon cutting on October 12, due to recent heavy rain, the ground is too saturated with water for crews to complete the project by then. “Pilling a few hundred people in there would give us a great Woodstock kind of vibe though,” skatepark society spokesman Chad Hansen joked.

Swim BC invites Skiers gearing up for new season Trail swimmer to development camp
submitted photo
Trail Winter Swim Club member Ian Markus has been recruited by Swim BC to attend its regional training camp in Penticton this weekend. The camp is reserved for the regions elite swimmers. Submitted The Trail Winter Swim Club’s Ian Markus is on Swim BC’s elite radar. Markus was recently selected by Swim BC to attend the Thompson-OkanaganKootenay Regional Training Camp this weekend in Penticton. The 11-year-old’s great results this summer where he placed second in both the 100- and 200-metre free at the AAA Long Course Provincial Meet in Vancouver, his 200 Individual-Medley standing, and his overall point total for the season has marked the talented swimmer for further development by Swim BC. The Provincial Team Program, one of Swim BC’s proudest accomplishments over the past decade, will continue to serve swimmers aged 13-17,
bringing swimmers from across the province together for both training and competition. Swim BC visits the various regions of the province to develop the next tier of swimmers - among the best in their respective regions. The Regional Training Camps (RTCs) meanwhile seek to build on and enhance the already highly successful Provincial Team Program. The RTCs take the same philosophy developed and delivered for these 13-to17-year-old swimmers and brings it to a much broader base of swimmers aged 10-13 years. This will take the form of training camps in each region (Northwest, Northeast, Vancouver Island, ThompsonOkanagan-Kootenay, and Lower Mainland) over the course of the season. By going out to the regions, Swim BC can effectively work with a much greater number of athletes. With 30-35 swimmers at each Regional camp, Swim BC is looking to reach over 200 10-to12-year-old swimmers. Swim BC is seeking to align the RTC program with the goals and direction of the Provincial Team Program to deliver exceptional athletes to Canada’s National teams of the future.

Red Mountain Racers Marcus Hamm, Hanna Schulze, Amelia Hoffman, Madeleine Kinghorn, and Reuben Demmler whoop it up on Red and are glad the ski season is off to a fresh start with the Ski Swap Oct. 26. By Times Staff A dusting of snow on area mountain tops is a gentle reminder that ski season is just around the corner, so it is time to start thinking about hitting the slopes and signing young skiers up with the Red Mountain Racers or Nancy Green Ski League. The Red Mountain Racers (RMR) will kick off another season with their annual ski swap on Oct. 26 at Willi Krause Field House in Trail. Gear check-in starts at 8:30 a.m. and goes to 11:30 a.m. with experienced volunteers on hand to help price your gear. There is a charge of $1 per checked item. Experienced volunteers will help new skiers and old select the best gear for their ability and dollar, and, as an added bonus, representatives from Red Resort will be present to take photos for season passes to early bird season pass holders. RMR executive members will also be at the Swap to take Nancy Greene Ski League registrations for the upcoming year. Check the Red Mountain Racers website (www.redmountainracers.com) for updated registration packages, and don’t forget that early-bird registration ends Nov. 19. The Nancy Greene Ski League is open to young skiers from five to 12 years old who are able to ride Red Chair and is the “FUNdamental” stage of ski racing.
“We really want to promote a love of skiing as a lifelong sport, through introducing kids to ski racing in a fun, encouraging environment,” said Phil Patterson, head coach of Red Mountain Racers. “Attending races is optional. We focus on enjoying the snow with friends whether free-skiing or in the gates.” Every Saturday for 10 weeks, skiers will be introduced to basic skiing technique and skills to ski in as many different snow conditions and terrains as possible. The program also promotes basic ski safety, knowledge, teamwork, self-confidence and most of all, how to have fun on skis. Each year skiers can participate within their club in team and individual competitions. Included in the price are optional races that take place at Red and other local hills throughout the area with other Nancy Greene teams. The focus while competing is on the opportunity to test the skills learned in the program, with an emphasis on team results and camaraderie. While the program does have an element of gate training and competition, fostering a love of the sport is the primary goal. For information on the Nancy Greene Ski League, please contact ngsl.redmountainracers@gmail. com.

THE CANADIAN PRESS With NHL play underway, stories unfold, events evolve, and pundits postulate, but after ample consideration here are the top 10 potential news stories for the upcoming season and beyond. Winter Olympics Speculation on who should make 2014 Olympic squads, especially Canada’s, will be rampant through the first half of the season. Players from the 12 countries that qualified for the Games in Sochi, Russia, will certainly have it in mind as they approach the Feb. 9-25 Olympic break. Outdoor inflation There used to be one outdoor game per season. This year there will be six. It may be overexposure, but the Jan. 1 to March 2 period will see Leafs vs. Red Wings, Ducks vs. Kings, Rangers vs. Devils, Rangers vs. Islanders, Penguinss vs. Blackhawks and Senators vs. Canucks. All in baseball or football venues. Realignment Instead of six divisions, there will be four - the Atlantic, Metropolitan, Central and Pacific. The top three in each division plus two wild cards in each conference make the playoffs. There are 16 teams in the Eastern Conference and 14 in the West, which has sparked complaints that it will be tougher to qualify in the East. New rivalries The Leafs, Sens and Habs will now have Detroit in their division, while the Oilers, Flames and Canucks are in with the U.S. West Coast clubs. Jets are in the Central. No more DetroitChicago divisional derbies, but at least all teams will play each other, whereas in recent years some teams didn’t meet at all. Smaller pads Goalies will cover a little less space this season as pads have been chopped in length by an inch or two. Whether the change will result in more goals is debatable. Shallower nets mean there will also be a little extra room for playmaking. Roy era in Colorado For the last eight years, Patrick Roy has been a fiery presence as GM and head coach of the junior Quebec Remparts. Now the Hall of Fame goaltender is the coach in Colorado, and has a say in management with old teammate Joe Sakic. With Roy’s gusto and lots of young talent, the Avalanche won’t go unnoticed.
Kessel cashes in with Leafs THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The Toronto Maple Leafs and star forward Phil Kessel have agreed to terms on a US$64-million, eight-year contract extension Tuesday. The deal was signed just hours before the Maple Leafs’ regular-season opener in Montreal. The contract includes a limited no-trade clause. Kessel had one season left on his previous deal at $5.4 million. “I’ll be on the hook for some team dinners here or there, but
I don’t mind,” Kessel said at a press conference in Montreal on Tuesday. “I always wanted to be (in Toronto). This is the place I want to play. I want to finish my career here. It’s a great city, the organization’s unbelievable, and I’m really excited to continue here.” Kessel had 20 goals and 32 assists in 48 games last season. He has 379 points (185-194) in 504 regular-season games over seven seasons with Toronto and Boston. The six-foot, 202-pound

native of Madison, Wis., has 21 points (13-8) in 22 career playoff games. He had four goals, including two game-winners, in Toronto’s seven-game firstround playoff loss to Boston last season. Joffrey Lupul also signed for the next five seasons at $5.25 million per year. Toronto also recently signed free agent David Clarkson for seven years at $5.52 million annually along with centre Tyler Bozak for five years with a $4.2-million annual cap hit.

Coach swap So the highly strung John Tortorella leaves the Rangers and is hired by the Canucks, only to see low-key Alain Vigneault leave Vancouver to coach in New York. Is this just what the Sedin twins need in Vancouver, and what Brad Richards and Rick Nash need on the Rangers? Fisticuffs Is goon hockey back? It looked like it in some pre-season games, notably Toronto-Buffalo. The Leafs added muscle last year, the Sabres got the hulking John Scott and now even mild-mannered Montreal has signed George Parros. Hard to believe given that after the 2004-05 lockout, it looked like the enforcer was going extinct. Stanley Cup repeat? There hasn’t been a repeat Stanley Cup champion since the Red Wings in 1997 and 1998, but if another team does, it could be Chicago. They have the same core of Toews, Kane, Keith, Crawford, etc., as last season, when they played only 48 regular-season games. So fatigue will be less of a factor for the Cup winners. MacKinnon-Jones The weeks leading up to the 2013 NHL draft was all about Nathan MacKinnon and Seth Jones. MacKinnon went first to Colorado, but Jones waited until fourth to go to Nashville. Two got picked in between (Alexander Barkov and Jonathan Drouin), but the MacKinnon-Jones debate rages on.

he bidding: North, with his 18 points, no five card major and equal length in the minors (Not 3-3), opens one diamond. His partner replies one spade. North knows they have enough for game, but cannot bid notrump with a singleton in partner’s suit. He makes a jump shift into clubs showing 18 points. This is forcing to game and shows 5-5 or better. North has other strong bids in his arsenal such as a two club opener, a reverse and a jump in notrump. His hand is not good enough for a two club
opener. He cannot do a reverse because the lower ranking suit is not longer and he cannot jump in notrump because of the singleton in partner’s suit. One improves one’s bidding immensely by refusing to run to notrump without notrump distribution. South, after his partner made a jump shift, knows they are in the ball park of a small slam or even a grand slam. He asks for keycards over three clubs so clubs is the assumed trump even if they never plan to play there. North shows two keycards with the queen of clubs. South asks for kings by bidding five notrump. Asking for kings promises that the partnership has all the keycards. One asks for kings only when trying for a grand slam and one would not do this missing a keycard including the queen of trumps. North has one king and South counts his

tricks. He has two spades, one heart, four or five diamonds and five clubs. He can assume partner is fivefive in the minors. If North were six-five, he would bid seven notrump once his partner shows all the keycards. Eleven tricks in the minors and two aces make thirteen tricks. However, North is five-five and can only count to twelve tricks. If North asks for keycards and kings, he can get to seven notrump. It is usually important that the strong hand does the asking for keycards. Here it is not possible. South must settle for six notrump because
he does not know about the queen of diamonds. I would not blame North for correcting six notrump to seven notrump. After all, it is the correct bid. The Lead: Against a slam, one likes to lead an ace in a suit not bid by the opponents or the top of touching honours. West does not lead the Queen of spades because it was bid by an opponent and leads the top of nothing in hearts. One never leads from unsupported honours against a slam. The play: Declarer wins the ace of hearts and claims 13 tricks. The Result: 6NT+1 for +1470.

Decision about marriage is a personal one Mailbox

wrong man. I cannot figure out their problem. We are in our late 20s, which doesn’t strike me as “too young.” And if they truly believe my fiance isn’t the right person, why didn’t they say so in the intervening four years? Why won’t they give me any concrete reasons for their objections? Sometimes I think what they’re really objecting to is the presence of another person in our small, close-knit family. But it seems selfish of them to place the current family dynamic over my future marriage and happiness. Kids grow up. They get married.
boyfriend. He is upset with two of my daughters-in-law and a sonin-law because when they see me they say, “Hello, Mother-inLaw!” He says they are being disrespectful for not using my name. He says they should call me “Grandma” or “Mom” or my given name. This has caused a problem between us. What do you think? -J.G. Dear J.G.: Your boyfriend has no business issuing orders about how your children or their spouses address you. If it doesn’t bother you, it shouldn’t bother him. He sounds bossy and controlling. Tell him to back off. Dear Annie: “Phone Me,” the 28-year-old who did not find out about her high school reunion because she isn’t on social media, needs to be proactive. Don’t blame others because you didn’t seek out the information. If you know it is
the 10th year of your graduation, contact the school or ex-classmates and find out whether anything is planned. I have been on every reunion committee since I graduated in 1979. We do the best we can to contact people. However,
it gets expensive sending out invitations by regular mail. Word of mouth and seeking out the information is key. So perhaps in anticipation of the next reunion, “Phone Me” could make the effort to find out instead of being “left out.” -- Mary

I never in my wildest nightmares thought my engagement would be such a source of anger. What do you think about this? -- Sad Bride-To-Be Dear Sad: It does seem as though your parents suddenly realized that you are leaving the nest and they are panic stricken. Since they refuse to discuss their reasons with you, please ask a trusted friend or family member to intercede on your behalf and try to ascertain whether their objections have any justification. But ultimately, the decision about marriage belongs to you. We hope your parents will welcome your groom into the family instead of pushing you both away.

Dear Annie: I recently became engaged to my boyfriend of four years. Immediately after he proposed, I phoned my parents, who always gave the impression that they liked my boyfriend and enjoyed spending time with him. I thought they’d be happy for us. I was very wrong. My mom was really angry and said that I am “way too young” to be getting married. Annie, I’m in graduate school. My dad said that my boyfriend “isn’t good enough” and that I should “seriously reconsider this guy.” (This guy! Like he doesn’t have a name.) I am still in school, so perhaps this is their way of expressing their worry that if I get married I won’t finish my graduate program, but regardless, I’m really hurt by their reaction. I’ve tried reassuring them, but they keep brushing me aside, insisting I’m marrying too young and to the

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Thursday, Oct. 3, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Relationships are tricky today. They could be troublesome because one or both parties wants more freedom. People will resent rules, expectations and feeling confined. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Things are unpredictable at work today, perhaps due to technological glitches, computer crashes, canceled meetings or staff shortages. Be prepared. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Gemini parents should be alert today, because this is an accident-prone day for their children. Be vigilant and patient. Angry atmospheres promote accidents. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Small appliances could break down today, or minor breakages could occur. Family discord due to conflicts or surprises might
take place. Someone might be rebellious and demanding. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accidentprone day, so slow down and take it easy. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Your daily routine will definitely have some detours. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your financial situation is unpredictable today. You might find money; you might lose money. Something you own might get broken, lost or stolen. Stay in touch with your bank account. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You feel restless and ready for action. You don’t want others telling you what to do, which is why you will rebel against restraints. You want the freedom to do your own thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Something that is going
on behind the scenes might disturb your peace of mind. You feel it, but you might not know how to define it. It’s like waiting for the other shoe to drop. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might want to break away from a group today because you no longer agree with the mandate or cause. Or someone might split apart from you. People are independent today.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) If bosses or authority figures shock or offend you today, don’t overreact. Sleep on whatever happens so that you can give everything a sober second thought. Guard against knee-jerk reactions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Many things will be upsetting today --among them will be travel plans
and school schedules. Expect delays and cancellations in your day. Someone unusual might amaze you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Unexpected news about the wealth and resources of others might surprise you. It could affect you favorably or not. It is something out of the blue. YOU BORN TODAY You are hip and up-to-date. You like to be aware of the latest
