Trail expansion clears hurdle

TECK GETS THE BUGS OUT

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Trail reached a milestone this week but still has one more hurdle before continuing down the track to expand city boundaries.

Property owners in the Columbia Gardens area had until Wednesday to oppose Trail’s intent to expand city limits into what is currently regional district territory (Electoral Area A).

With four direct responses from 23 property owners, three positive and one preferring to remain “status quo,” the city is gearing up for the next step, which is mitigate the economic impact to the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB).

Technically, before that level of negotiations can happen, the city has to wait until late Monday, which is the deadline for Trail residents to submit a counter-petition through the Alternative Approval Process.

The city isn’t expecting to receive a counter petition, said David Perehudoff, Trail’s chief administrative officer (CAO), adding that the next steps include finalization of Supplementary Letters Patent (SLP) and coming to a mitigation agreement with the RDKB. Both sides met with the provincial minister responsible to oversee the boundary expansion process when she made a visit to the area last week.

Coralee Oakes, Minister for Community, Sport and Cultural Development, toured the impacted Beaver Valley area with Ali Grieve, Area A director, and the mayors of Montrose, Joe Danchuck, and Fruitvale, Patricia Ceccini, before meeting with the City of Trail for lunch and a review of outstanding issues.

The minister saw first hand the areas that generate revenue for the Beaver Valley communities and where our tax dollars are spent, said Grieve.

“The reps restated what they have stated in the past, that we continue to oppose the proposal.”

However, should the boundary expansion proceed, Grieve believes that the abundance of tax dollars in the region, including Teck’s tax revenues, can guarantee a win-win for everyone now and in the future.

“Reps said they will expect nothing less,” she added.

During Oakes’ meeting with Trail, an agreement was reached that, as soon as practical, the city’s lawyer and Teck’s lawyer would meet with the ministry’s legal team to discuss the SLP as part of finalizing the proposal package.

Only after a mitigation settlement is reached with the RDKB, and SLP matters are concluded, can Trail council pass a motion requesting Oakes to approve the boundary extension and refer it to Provincial Cabinet.

DeRosa was visiting the library to teach kids, and even some adults, about the different bugs and insects that live in the waters in and around Trail and the unique ecosystems, how they change and how the health of animals and insects in the water systems can determine water quality. The Library programs continue throughout the summer.

School enrolment down LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

Student enrolment numbers and related funding were on the agenda at the last School District 20 board meeting of the school year on Monday and all signs point to a decrease in students attending SD20 public institutions in the 2014-2015 school year.

Funding in relation to enrolment was up for discussion and concerns arose that fewer students would translate into less funding for district schools.

According to the B.C. Education website, each fulltime enrolled student in the province netted their school board approximately $6,900 for the 2013-2014 school year with more funding added for students who were considered special needs.

If enrolment numbers aren't as high as predicted, Greg Luterbach, superintendent of schools says the funding won't

be affected due to funding protection allocated by the provincial government. Funding protection makes up one per cent of the province's annual budget for schools.

“We are part of funding protection, so if we have lower enrolment numbers, then we won't lose funding,” he said.

Enrolment numbers aren't finalized until school starts back up in September, but Luterbach says the predicted number of enrolled students for the 20142015 school year will be going down by around 50 students “[At the end of June], we had about 50 students less in the traditional schools with about 21 more in our alternative schools,” he said. “So overall, we are down by 18 students from the end of September 2013. With the number of students entering kindergarten and the number of students that graduated, we would be down about 50 [students for the

upcoming school year].”

Luterbach says the numbers aren't out of the ordinary and some school years have seen a larger decrease in student numbers.

“They are typical numbers that we are used to, so nothing we should be concerned about,” he explained. “Minus 20 over the year is actually quite good compared to other years.”

Bill Ford, assistant superintendent of schools, shared projected kindergarten registration numbers to the board during the meeting and said the school system should expect 243 students, down from September 2013's projected numbers of 286, registered for the 20142015 school year, although the numbers are not set in stone.

“The last numbers are as of June 20,” he said. “Those numbers won't change until the first week of school, whenever that may be.”

There’s gold in them hills

Today’s WeaTher Morning

Radically new Jeep…

Rossland’s history is rich with gold and now you can have a chance at getting your own piece of the luxury metal.

First prize in the raffle is one ounce of gold from the Canadian Mint and second and third place winners will go home with two or one silver coins, respectively.

The Rossland Museum is holding a gold and silver raffle and Joyce Austin, manager of the museum, says the raffle will go right back to the museum.

“Stake your claim to an ounce of gold and reconnect with Rossland's golden history,” she said. “The [money raised] will go towards funding the museum.”

Tickets for the raffle cost $10 each and there are only 400 being printed.

Austin says the chances of winning are pretty good.

“The odds of winning are very attractive,” she said in a press release. “Tickets can be purchased from the museum members and the Golden City Days Committee.”

There are also tickets for sale at the Alpine Drug Mart in Rossland.

The final draw for the top prize will be held during Rossland's annual Golden City Days weekend on Saturday September 6 and 4 p.m.

Rossland's history was built on gold mining and Austin says the mining industry there is inextricably linked to Trail's history and the smelter, making the gold and silver raffle relevant to the area the minerals helped build..

“The mines in Rossland were very important in the founding of the smelter in Trail,” she said. “In the early days, the steamboats would come up the Columbia River and drop the workers off at Trail Creek Landing before the headed up to Rossland and started working in the mine. Our communities are very connected.”

legislation around the intake of francophone students at that school and we lost some kindergarten students that we normally would have thought we were getting,” said Luterbach.

“There certainly was the independent school that we lost some students to, but when you look at the bigger picture, it was the shift of bodies.

“Rossland Secondary School lost a number of Grade 8 and 9 students and some chose very late in the game to move to J.L. Crowe, so that is probably the biggest impact area.”

Ford also wanted to remind the rest of the board

• Security Installation and Service • ULC Security Monitoring • Medical Alert Installation & Monitoring

that there were a few students who were taking courses at Seven Summits and Crowe simultaneously, and though that affected numbers, the board still received some funding for those students.

“We had three or four students that were taking courses at the independent school and courses at Crowe,” he said.

“They tended to be courses in the fine arts and the practical arts, and we did get funding per course.”

Vandals hit skatepark

By Will Johnson Nelson Star

Slightly over a month after the official opening of the Nelson Skatepark, vandals have spraypainted crude tags and Nazi symbols on the ramps, the bowl, and the surrounding rocks and signs.

“I was disappointed,” said skatepark ambassador Matt LeBlanc, who estimates the first bout of vandalism occurred approximately a week ago.

“The park looks beautiful as it is and we were hoping to keep it that way.”

Leblanc said the removal process is going to be costly, lengthy and inconvenient.

“I knew right away the removal factor would be tricky. We don’t have much funding and it would come out of the youth centre, so a lot of that work now has to happen through volunteering and it’s been a huge hassle already.”

Rows of prominent orange tags have been

scrubbed into an indecipherable cloud where staff are using a toxic cleaning agent to leach the paint from the concrete. The progress so far is minimal. On either side of the newly cleaned area there are fresh tags.

“I’ve already put in like eight hours and haven’t really made a dent,” said LeBlanc. “One of the reasons is they’ve used quality spray paint.

Once it goes on, it’s pretty much meant to stay.

It’s not a fun process, and the sun doesn’t help.

It pretty much evaporates the chemical as soon as we put it on.”

LeBlanc also has to take timing and park usage into consideration.

“I’m not going to pull out a hose and start hosing down chemicals while there’s a bunch of kids in the park,” he said.

If things get too bad, he said the park may need to be closed down temporarily to bring in a cleaning crew.

Minister visits area

From page 1 “In addition, council would take steps to approve the Partnering Agreement Bylaw as part of finalizing Teck’s consent,” said Perehudoff. “It’s hoped that everything proceeds without any major setbacks.”

The boundary of every municipality is permanent and defined in a document known as Letters Patent.

SLP refers to the amendment of the description to add or delete properties, which can only be changed by Cabinet order.

With the mercury just beginning to rise and 20 human-caused wildfires already reported to date, the B.C forest service ordered a fire ban throughout the region this week.

Open fires were prohibited Wednesday in all six zones of Southeast Fire Centre area that stretches from the North Columbia/ Golden region south to the Canada/ U.S. border and west through the Kootenay Boundary.

Over the weekend, lightning sparked two small fires, one near Nelson and the other south of Christina Lake, said Jordan Turner, the centre’s fire information officer, adding that both were spot fires, accessible by road, and quickly extinguished by fire crews.

A problem more hazardous than lightning but typical during fire season, is the carelessness of people who drop lit cigarettes, leave campfires unattended or even before the fire ban, allow open burning to get out of hand, he noted.

“Most fires in the area are personcaused,” said Turner. “This is why the prohibition within our jurisdiction is put in place,” he explained.

“All human-caused fires are preventable and we want to ensure public safety.”

So far, the Southeast Fire Centre reports 35 hectares of burned land, a number it hopes to contain by banning the burning of any waste or slash, stubble or grass fires, and the use of fireworks, sky lanterns or burning barrels of any size.

This year’s fire ban comes a week earlier than usual, however the dry West Kootenay winter and low snowpack isn’t a foreteller of how intense the upcoming fire season will be.

“It’s difficult to use a dry winter

to indicate the severity of a fire season,” said Turner. “Fire activity is dependent on current weather patterns,” he continued. “As long as lightning is accompanied by a lot of rain, it (spot fire) takes care of itself.”

Around Greater Trail, the fire danger rating remains low, meaning fires may start easily and spread quickly but there will be minimal involvement of deeper fuel layers (forest cover) or larger fuels.

“Right now it’s still wet with the rain from June and we can’t really look forward more than a week or two,” Turner said. “It’s difficult to say if it’s going to be a busy fire season this early.”

The prohibition doesn’t include small campfires, but Turner recommends public vigilance and suggests people heading into provincial and private campgrounds should contact the campground operators to check on rules for individual sites.

“We want people to take proper steps when having camp fires,” he said. “Have water on hand to put out fires when they’re done and have necessary tools on hand to control the fires.”

Anyone caught open burning can be ticketed $345, or if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail.

If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible could end up paying up to $10,000 and be ordered to cover all firefighting and associated costs.

The fire ban covers all B.C. Parks, Crown and private lands, but doesn’t cover municipalities that have fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by fire departments.

Trail and Fruitvale have a year round ban on open burning, but Rossland allows the practise with a special burning permit that passes the current smoke ventilation index.

To report a wildfire or unattended camp fires, call 1.800.663.5555 or (star)*5555 on a cellphone.

Mediation bid fails in teacher talks

BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

A B.C. Supreme Court justice has concluded the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. government are too far apart on wages and working conditions for mediation to be effective.

The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association and the BCTF confirmed Wednesday that Justice Stephen Kelleher has taken part in “exploratory” talks in recent days to seek an end to the teacher strike that wiped out the last two weeks of the school year.

“He had some exploratory discussions with the parties and determined that mediation is not indicated at this time,” said an agreed statement by both parties.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the BCTF’s

total compensation demands are still more than twice what other government unions have settled for.

The union’s benefit demands alone represent an additional $225 million a year, Fassbender said. Those include increases to preparation time, pregnancy and parental leave, extended health and dental and substitute teacher compensation.

“There is no process and no mediator that can bridge this gap at this time,” Fassbender said. “To pretend otherwise only raises false expectations and serves to delay the tough decisions the BCTF executive needs to make to get to an affordable agreement.”

BCTF president Jim Iker said the government placed unacceptable pre-conditions on wage negotiations going to mediation.

Olympics break even

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER More than four years after the Olympic flame went out on the West Coast, the Vancouver Organizing Committee has released its final reports and turned out the lights.

VANOC says the 2010 Games broke even, with total revenues and expenses just shy of $1.9 billion.

At the end of the day, the federal government contributed $74.4 million, the British Columbia government $113.4 million, other governments $176 million, and the International Olympic Committee $659 million in sponsorships and contri-

butions to cover the tab.

The report says all sites have been remediated and turned over to local governments as legacy venues and the organizing committee was dissolved after its final meeting on June 27.

The final report says several claims and disputed contracts have been resolved since the event, as well as an 18-month coroner’s review of the Whistler Sliding Centre, where a Georgian luger was killed in a training accident.

Board chairman Ken Dobell says the Games left a debt-free legacy for the country.

Investigation continues into missing boy and grandparents THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY - Potential witnesses trickled into a Calgary community centre Thursday as police continued to search for a missing five-year-old boy and his grandparents.

Nathan O’Brien and Alvin and Kathy Liknes were reported missing Monday. Nathan had been at a sleepover after the couple held an estate sale at their home on the weekend.

Police had asked anyone who attended the sale and bought something to bring a photo of the item to the community centre and speak with investigators.

“We just want to make sure that we’re aware of what was sold and this way we can determine if anything is missing from the residence after the sale was completed,”

said Calgary Police Staff Sgt. Doug Andrus at a news conference Wednesday.

Six tables manned by police officers with notepads in front of them were set up inside the Parkhill Community Centre.

A block away a police car and yellow tape remained in front of the grandparent’s grey-blue split-level home. Family members were at the home chatting quietly in the front yard.

Andrus said the investigation is still in the early stages and police are looking for more clues.

Investigators say they don’t believe the three left the home voluntarily, but don’t have any suspects.

“At this point, with the government maintaining entrenched positions that are unfair and unreasonable, mediation will not be able to move forward,” Iker said. “We will keep the lines of communication open in July to restart bargaining if the government is ready to

make a real effort and bring the necessary funding to the table.”

BCPSEA has proposed a 7% pay increase over six years, plus a $1,200 signing bonus with a deadline that expired June 30. The BCTF has countered 8% over five years with a proposed $5,000 bonus, to make up for a year the union has worked under an expired contract.

BCPSEA has calculated the cost of the union’s position on class size and composition at $1.67 billion. That dispute has been the subject of a series of court actions and the B.C. Court of Appeal is expected to rule on it in the fall.

Fassbender said the latest offer is to guarantee $75 million in each year of a new contract for special needs support.

cerned we are,” Andrus said. “We’re looking to answer questions we’re being asked in this investigation. We don’t know the motive behind this.”

The grandparents were planning a move to Edmonton and then on to Mexico when they disappeared.

Police have said there are no custody issues with the family - the boy’s parents are married and he is their biological son. Police have also said officers have no history with the family. All of the family’s vehicles have been accounted for.

Police say they’ve received over 100 tips from across the country in the past few days and have six detectives assigned just to follow them up.

A blog has been established so Canadians can send messages to the family along with information on how to reach Crime Stoppers.

One person wrote about meeting the missing boy once at a birthday party.

“Nathan was such a graceful and polite little man,” said the poster who gave the name Susan Bergquist.

“We are doing all we can here in Red Deer to help out with social media and will be here for any further efforts to help with the return of Alvin, Kathy and Nathan.”

NATIONAL OBITUARIES DIMOCK, KENNETH JAMES – of Trail passed away peacefully after a brief illness at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital on June 27, 2014.

He was born in Trail, B.C. on February 3, 1930, the youngest of three brothers.

Ken lived his whole life in Trail and only called two places “home”.

He grew up with his parents and brothers on Topping Street and then, with a family of his own, moved in to the subdivision of Glenmerry. He attended Central Elementary School and Trail Tadanac High School. During his final year of high school he met Gill Reay at the badminton club and in 1954 they were married.

Shortly after graduation in 1949 he began work at Cominco and spent the next 39 years there until his retirement in 1989.w Ken had many loves in his life.

Besides his loving wife Gill, he also loved the city of Kaslo where he spent many of his summers as a youth. He also had fond remembrances of Camp Koolaree and in his later years enjoyed going out to camp cleanup. Though because of his age he was not able to help with the heavy work he enjoyed just being there with all those memories.

He also played fast pitch softball

with both the Cominco League and Grow League and was MVP in 1952. Ken was an avid historian and spent much of his postretirement time researching his family tree including travel across Canada and the United States to gather information. He also had a keen interest in the history of the City of Trail and was a member of the Trail Historical Society.

Ken was predeceased by his wife, Gill, his parents Richmond and Cora Dimock, his in-laws Walter and Elizabeth Reay, and his sisters-in-law Diane and Sylvia.

He is survived by his son Grant (Kathy) Dimock, daughter Joanne Dimock and his grandchildren, Kenneth and Christopher.

He is also survived by his brothers Barss Dimock and Bill (Jessie) Dimock and many nieces and nephews.

Ken was a loving husband, father, brother and grandfather. He has left us all with many wonderful memories and his stories, his passion for life and his laugh will be missed greatly. It was a great run here but it is time to join up with Mom.We love you now and forever.

A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, July 10, 2014 at 11:00 am at Trail United Church with Reverend Michael Hare, presiding. Gwen Ziprick of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements.

Bruce Edmond Watson was born in Trail, BC on November 23, 1922 and passed away peacefully on June 29, 2014 at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail, BC. Bruce joined CM&S at the age of 16 and retired in 1978. Bruce served in the Royal Canadian

PQ founder Jean Garon passes THE CANADIAN PRESS QUEBEC - Jean Garon, one of the founders of the Parti Quebecois and a cabinet minister in Rene Levesque’s government, has died. He was 76.

Antoine Yaccarini, a PQ spokesman, says Garon died in hospital in Levis.

He says the family had not released the cause of death.

Garon had been active in the sovereignty movement before the founding of the PQ in 1968.

After a first defeat as a PQ candidate in 1973, Garon was elected to the legislature three years later in Levis, a city he had previously represented as mayor.

He served as agriculture minister for nine years, until the PQ was defeated in 1985.

One of his proudest accomplishments was getting legislation passed that protected Quebec farmland.

He was beaten by Pierre Marc Johnson

when he ran for the PQ leadership in 1985 and was named education minister by Jacques Parizeau in 1994 after the PQ returned to power.

BC’s LNG industry given free pass to pollute

O

ne of the thorniest issues raised in the joint review panel’s report on BC Hydro’s Site C dam proposal is that of the B.C. government’s hypocritical policy on the burning of natural gas for electricity.

“The LNG developers have been promised a free hand to burn their gas here for their own purposes, but BC Hydro has been denied the same privilege,” the panel wrote in its report on the $7.9-billion proposed dam.

The controversy revolves around the 2010 Clean Energy Act – and who it applies to and, perhaps more importantly, who it does not.

The act limits BC Hydro’s options for generating electricity by demanding that 93 per cent of the province’s energy needs be met by “clean or renewable resources” – eliminating the use of gas turbines and sending the gas-fired Burrard Thermal generating station into early retirement.

It’s a reasonable policy from a climate change perspective – but there’s a catch.

In June 2012, the prov-

ince exempted the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry from the Clean Energy Act, enabling plants to burn as much natural gas as they’d like to power their giant compressors. And as of now that’s exactly what they intend to do.

“If it is acceptable to burn natural gas to provide power to compress, cool, and transport B.C. natural gas for Asian markets, where its fate is combustion anyway, why not save transport and environmental costs and take care of domestic needs?” the Site C panel wrote.

To turn natural gas into a liquid for export, it must be cooled to 163 degrees below zero. Doing so essentially requires running a gigantic refrigerator 24/7.

Each of the large LNG plants proposed for B.C.’s coast (there are 10) would need the equivalent of an entire Site C dam to power it by electricity.

The Pembina Institute reports that for the province to meet its annual revenue hopes of more than $4 billion (five to seven LNG facilities) by 2020, the resulting carbon emissions from that industry would

EMMA

GILCHRIST Troy Media

rival that of Alberta’s oil sands.

In case you missed it, this is the industry that Premier Christy Clark has repeatedly touted as producing the “cleanest LNG in the world.”

For B.C.’s LNG industry to come anywhere near to being “clean,” plants would need to be fuelled by renewable electricity, not natural gas.

With that in mind, Clean Energy Canada recently commissioned a feasibility study that looks at meeting the energy demands of LNG plants with regional renewables, such as wind on the north coast, which wouldn’t require transmission upgrades or power from the Site C dam.

“Any LNG facility on the North Coast could primarily power its production facilities with renewable energy and do so reliably, affordably and on schedule—using established commercial technologies,” Navius Research concluded. “Further, doing so reduces that plant’s carbon pollution by 45 per cent, and increases local permanent jobs by 40 per cent.”

Seems like a no-brainer, doesn’t it?

Due to the Clean Energy Act, BC Hydro couldn’t include gas-fired electricity in any of its scenarios presented to the Site C panel – even though the LNG industry can now burn gas willy-nilly.

That means natural gas facilities like Burrard Thermal, which has similar capacity to Site C, couldn’t even be considered as an intermittent source of power for times when electricity demand peaks.

With a price tag of $7.9 billion, Site C is the most expensive infrastructure project on the books in Canada – and could be the largest public expenditure in B.C. for the next 20 years. Meantime, the lower

impact, more affordable alternative of geothermal power hasn’t been placed on the table by BC Hydro due only to the province’s “failure to pursue research over the last 30 years,” according to the panel.

If the province approves Site C this fall and it actually gets built, the project is expected to chalk up $800 million in losses in the first four years due to a lack of market for its power, and it’s BC Hydro customers (that’s you and me) who will be on the hook for covering the loss.

While British Columbians are picking up the tab for that, the LNG industry will be enjoying a free pass to pollute.

It’s high time for Clark to force the LNG industry to play by the same rules as the rest of us — and, for her own sake, she’d better do that before British Columbians cotton on to the fact she’s trying to sneak an oil sands-sized pollution problem below the radar while sticking them with a pricy and impractical megadam.

The Calliphate returns

L

isten to your caliph and obey him.

Support your state, which grows every day,” said Abu Mohamed al-Adnani, announcing the rebirth of the Caliphate in the broad territory between Aleppo in northern Syria and Diyala province in eastern Iraq. It hasn’t actually grown much more in the past couple of weeks, but it certainly intends to go on expanding.

The radical Sunni Muslim organization that conquered almost half of Iraq in a whirlwind week at the beginning of June has changed its name.

Before, it was ISIS, the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (the old Ottoman province that used to include Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Israel). But now it wishes to be known simply as the “Islamic State” – for there can only be one such state, and it should include everywhere that Muslims have ever ruled.

ISIS propagandists have even produced a map showing the ultimate borders that their Islamic State lays claim to. Spain and Portugal will be part of it, because they were ruled by Muslim conquerors during much of the Middle Ages.

Iran, too (although something will have to be done about all those Shia Muslims).

All of India except the southern tip should be under the rule of the Caliph, because Muslim invaders also ruled there as minorities for many centuries – and of course Serbia, Croatia and Hungary will be part of the Islamic State,

for the Ottomans conquered all the Balkans up to there. Not to mention half of Africa, and Indonesia, and southwestern Siberia (which was once ruled by the Sibir Khanate for a century or so).

GWynne

dyer

World Affairs

There’s no point in protesting that Muslims were never more than a small minority in many of these places, for the lads of ISIS believe that only Muslims – indeed, only Sunni Muslims – have rights. “The legality of all emirates, groups, states and organisations becomes null by the expansion of the Caliphate’s authority and the arrival of its troops to their areas,” al-Adnani helpfully explained.

So much for the fantasy. What’s the reality? A group of jihadis have seized a big chunk of eastern Syria and western Iraq, erased the border between them, and declared an Islamic State.

As little as ten thousand strong only a month ago, they have been rapidly growing in numbers as ISIS’s success attracts new recruits – but they are obviously never going to reconquer India, Spain or Siberia.

They aren’t going to

make a dent in the two powerful states to the north of their Islamic State either. Iran, being overwhelmingly Shia, is immune to their charms and far too big to take by force.

Turkey, although now governed by an Islamic party, is still a modern, secular state that is much too strong to attack.

To the west and east ISIS is already at war with regimes that are either very tough (Bashar alAssad’s war-hardened dictatorship in western and central Syria) or very Shia (the south-eastern slice of Iraq, densely populated and with a large Shia majority). The Islamic State’s central position between its two enemies gives it a strategic advantage, but not a decisive one.

To the south are desert frontiers with more promising territory. Jordan’s population is about twothirds Palestinian, and even among the Bedouin tribes that are the mainstay of King Abdullah’s rule there was some enthusiasm for ISIS’s victory in Iraq. If Jordan fell, the Islamic State would reach right up to Israel’s borders, with incalculable consequences.

Saudi Arabia would be a much tougher nut to crack, but the salafi religious ideology that animates ISIS is very close to the fundamentalist Wahhabi version of Islam that is the Saudi state religion.

That’s why the Saudis gave arms and money to ISIS jihadis in the early days of the Syrian civil war, although they have subsequently recognised the

threat that the organisation poses to the Saudi state.

But even if ISIS gets very lucky, it is unlikely to get farther than that. Egypt blocks its expansion to the west, although the Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis extremists who are active in the Sinai peninsula undoubtedly have some ties with it. Even its direct rivals in the RefoundThe-Caliphate business – the original al-Qaeda, al-Shabab in north-east Africa, Boko Haram in northern Nigeria, and their lesser brethren – are unlikely to accept the ISIS leader as caliph.

Abu Bakr alBaghdadi, who now styles himself Caliph Ibrahim, has clearly been preparing himself for this moment for most of his adult life: he even chose the name of the first caliph, Abu Bakr, as his nom de guerre. His spokesman does not hide his soaring ambition: “We hereby clarify to the Muslims that with this declaration of Khilafah (caliphate), it is incumbent upon all Muslims to pledge allegiance to the Khalifah Ibrahim and support him.”

They are not going to do that, and the sheer radicalism and intolerance of ISIS’s members make it unlikely that their project will survive unaltered for more than a year or so even in the territory that now makes up the “Islamic State”.

Nevertheless, it is extraordinary that the 7th-century caliphate has reappeared even fleetingly in the modern world. Bush and Blair have a lot to answer for.

food networking

Soil mate promotes local food production THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - In a nod to social networking sites that make love connections between people, the new site Soil Mate is hoping to kindle passion between consumers and their local food producers.

People who want to know where their food and drink are coming from can now connect with farmers, farmers markets, and wineries using the new farm-to-table social networking site. In turn, farmers and producers can market themselves and interact with their community.

The site is free.

Matt Gomez found the need for such a site when he “couldn’t find local produce in a way that was convenient for me, not necessarily trudging into the farmers market by a certain time every Saturday to get what I needed. I was looking online to try and find real simple information, basically what was available in the area, how it was grown, where I could buy it and when I could get it and that was really all I needed. My impetus was that I had little kids.”

He had settled in Kelowna in 2008 with his new wife after growing up in Luton, England, and found that living in the community coupled with the birth of their two children - now age three and one - made him more concerned about their food.

“I became more aware once I was here because it’s more of an agricultural region and started to see that connection and over time start to

learn about some of the more fashionable issues like GMO (genetically modified) crops and any pesticide use to some of the more political pieces like the distance travelled and treatment of migrant workers, all of the different pieces that go into the food security.

“I became aware of all that sort of stuff and made some changes and tried to find stuff online to buy local produce and then I had kids and I couldn’t be so blase about it.”

With his background in online marketing, he decided to quit his job, seek investment and found Soil Mate.

Consumers logging on to the site find farms and markets within a 160-kilometre radius, directions and hours. People can sort by crop, organic or non-GMO, and in some cases can order directly from the farm.

“The whole crux of it is to be nonpolitical, non-judgment based, not pushing any agenda, just presenting all the information and you make your own decisions,” the 31-year-old explained.

“If organic is something that’s important to you, then you can find organic. If you don’t really care, you just care more about the farmer’s story, then read their profile.”

Since unofficially launching to farmers and markets in the spring, Soil Mate has participation in all Canadian provinces, the Yukon and in 40 U.S. states.

Leaving All For Christ Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.

“Another of the disciples said to him, ‘Lord, let me first go and bury my father.’ But Jesus said to him, ‘Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead’” (Matt. 8:21-22).

Here we see Jesus’ radical call. When he calls us, we are to leave all and follow him, and he blesses those who renounce all for him: “Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life” (Matt.

19:29 NKJV).

This is what the first disciples of Jesus did. They left everything, including their father and their work, to follow Jesus. “He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him” (Matt. 4:21-22). To Peter and Andrew, Jesus said, “‘Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ Immediately they left their nets and followed him” (Matt.

4:19-20).

Peter therefore later asked Jesus, “Lo,

we have left everything and followed you. What then shall we have?” (Matt.

19:27). Jesus responded, saying that those who have left all for him will receive a hundredfold reward (Matt.

19:29). St. Luke says about the first disciples whom Jesus called that “when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him” (Luke 5:11). The tax collector Levi did the same. Jesus “saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office; and he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ And he left everything, and rose and followed him” (Luke 5:27-28).

When someone else said to Jesus, “‘I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home.’ Jesus said to him, ‘No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God’” (Luke 9:61-62). Jesus did not even allow him to go home and say good-by to his family! So urgent and radical is his call! This is the kind of total and radical response Jesus wants to see in those who follow him.

We must love Jesus more than we love our family. “He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me” (Matt. 10:37). We must leave all for him.

He wants us to live for him alone. “If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:26). “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me” (Matt. 19:21). “So therefore, whoever of you does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:33).

We must live for Christ alone, and leave all for him. We are not to live for ourselves and our own pleasures. We are to seek all our delight in the Lord, not in worldly pleasures. We are to live a simple life of evangelical poverty for the love of Christ, and help others with our money. Such is the radical call that Jesus gives his disciples!

This means that we are to renounce the world and its ways (Gal. 6:14; John 17:16; 1 John 2:15; James 4:4), which are exactly the opposite of this. We are to be no longer of the world, but rather dead to the world, crucified to the world, to be a disciple of Christ. © Copyright 2007-2009 Rev. Steven Scherrer www.DailyBiblicalSermons.com

Bishops’ red card is a call to conversion

A

re the Bishops of Brazil and Pope Francis on the same page when it comes to the 2014 FIFA World Cup, or did the Bishops miss their CEO’s memo?

At the start of the tournament, the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil added their voice to that of Brazilians who for months had been protesting their government’s lavish spending on the tournament. When millions of Brazil’s citizens lack basic needs and are living in poverty, building enormous stadiums was hard to justify. louise The bishops issued a brochure in the shape of a “red card” Everyday Theology to express their concern “regarding the inversion of priorities in the use of public money that should go to health, education, basic sanitation, transportation and security”. They were concerned, too, about the displacement of the homeless, and an increase in sexual tourism and human trafficking.

The bishops want the 2014 World Cup to be more than “bread and circuses”, more than a well-orchestrated distraction from Brazil’s social and political challenges, and are pushing for reforms. Through a campaign called “Steilpass” (translated either as “the decisive turning point”, or, in soccer lingo, “assist”), the Brazilian bishops, in collaboration with the Conference of Religious in Brazil, presented the Brazilian government with ten proposals focused on building a more just society.

The bishops’ message to government seems to stand in contrast to the cordial message of Pope Francis on the opening of the tournament. While Francis makes no overt references to Brazil’s problems, the shortcomings of human relationships are implicit in his message.

Francis looks at the world’s beautiful game as a metaphor for the improvement of the human person and, therefore, of society.

“Football can and should be a school for building a ‘culture of encounter’ which allows for peace and harmony among peoples”, said the pontiff.

Francis draws three lessons from sport that can contribute to peace. The first is the need to train so that we can grow in virtue. The second is to look to the common good because when we are fominhas (individualistic and egoistic) “the entire society is damaged”. And, the third is to respect our teammates and opponents. Francis remarked that “…by learning the lessons that sports teach us, we will all be winners, strengthening the bonds that tie us together.”

Despite the difference in the tone and content of the message of the Brazilian bishops and that of Francis, both are concerned with the dignity of the human person and the flourishing of society. Francis encourages individuals to forgo selfishness and to seek peace and harmony with one another, while the bishops urge those in positions of power to use the resources at their disposal for the advancement of the common good.

Whereas the bishops spotlight the messiness of human society, the pope illuminates the ability of the individual to help tidy the mess.

The bishops and the pope have the same currency in hand; their messages are different sides of the same coin. Flip the coin, and on both sides there is a call to conversion for the sake of social justice, or, in soccer lingo, “fair play”.

CN Golf

Hockey tradition continues

Yu takes lead at Juniors Rossland golfer, Tyler McKay, still in the hunt

By Times Staff Vancouver’s Trevor Yu made his move in round 2 of the CN Future Links Western Canadian Junior championship at the Birchbank Golf Course on Thursday.

Yu shot a 1-under 71 to move to 4-under par and the outright lead over Rossland’s Tyler McKay who led after shooting a sizzling opening round of 66.

But a double and triplebogie on holes three and six for a front nine score of 41 dropped McKay to 1-under with a round of 77, but still left him in sole possession of second place.

McKay finished the backnine with an even 36 after birdies on 12 and 17 and bogies on 14 and 18.

Yu meanwhile sank four birdies and made three bogies to be one of only a handful of

golfers that shot under par on the day.

Cole McKinnon of Surrey and Jake Scarrow are tied for third with rounds of 73 and 75 respectively, while Logan Yanick of Courtenay netted a 2-under 70 for the low round of the day.

Yu has already won three of four events on the Canadian Junior Golf Association circuit this year and was the 2012 Canadian Juvenile Champion, winning the tournament with a course record 65 at Osprey Ridge Golf Club in Nova Scotia. He will also be representing Canada at the World Junior Championship in July in San Diego.

Other notables include Noah Lubberding of St. Albert who shot 2-over 74 to leave him at 1-over par for the tournament tied with Surrey’s Khan Lee who was 4-over on the day.

Braden McKay was 6-over to put him in a tie for 41st at plus-13, one stroke up on Carson Arcuri of Nelson.

Stingrays storm Colville meet

Submitted Despite swimming in stormy weather, the Trail Stingrays Swim Club put in a great effort at the pool in Colville on the weekend.

“All the swimmers were courageous enough to swim their races in the outdoor pool in the chilly water and through torrential downpour,” said coach Samme Beatson. “Swimmers even swam impressive best times with some taking up to 13 seconds off in their races.”

Many Trail swimmers competed for the first time in 100metre races including Nicole Merry and Diego Greenwood for the 100-metre butterfly, Maddy Fraser, Juliana Zhou and Paige Marrandino for the 100 breaststroke, and Issy and Olivia Ady for swimming the 100 freestyle.

Josh Ballarin and Greenwood opted to do an exhibition relay of only two swimmers rather than the requisite four so that each had to swim twice in a row.

Ballarin then competed in the “Guts and Glory” 400-m Individual Medley (IM) race at the end of the meet and placed second after a swimmer from the Penticton Pikes won it. Ballarin finished the race with a time of 6:24.7.

Greenwood placed second in Div. 4 boys, while more Aggregate medals went to Juliana Zhou who placed third in Div. 3, Nicole Merry who placed third in Div. 4 girls, Samme Beatson who placed third in Div. 8, and Kayla Fraser and Maddie Green who tied for third in Open Category 2. Jen Chung placed second in Open Category 2.

Varied responses to children in church Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

-- Experienced Church Mom Dear Mom: Our mail was divided evenly on this one. Read on: From Florida: I am a children’s pastor with many years of experience. Every church I have served in has had a fully staffed nursery with loving, trained volunteers and a wellequipped and exceptionally clean environment. But when we suggest parents take advantage of these services, some of them act as if we are trying to sell their children.

It is the responsibility of the parents to realize that not everyone is overjoyed listening to their child cry, scream

problem. Most churches are so desperate to get bodies in the door, they won’t attempt to instruct parents in how to behave. These parents, like the children they coddle, won’t see themselves in this letter. They’ll say, “It’s just a little crying spell, and she’ll get over it in a minute.” But if it happens week after week, it means the child is exerting control. Instead of raising children, these parents are raising their own little center of the universe, teaching them that if they scream enough they’ll get what they want.

We have self-centered parents raising another generation of kids even more self-centered.

Boston: My father was a minister. It was most troubling to him, too, dealing with this touchy subject. One Sunday morning while preaching, a child started crying. The mother got up to leave, and my father stopped speaking.

A loud snore broke the

silence. My father said, “I can preach over a crying baby, but not over the snoring of adults.”

There was applause as the mother sat back down. What happens when babies cry on airplanes? There’s no place to send them, so please be understanding.

Huntington, Vt.: Be grateful that a young family is coming to your church.

In Vermont (and probably elsewhere), we are lucky if anyone comes to church. Church is dying here. I’ll take the child’s loud noise, cry-

or otherwise disrupt the service. We are pleased to help, but we can’t care for children if parents won’t bring them to us!

Fargo, N.D.: As a pastor, I am keenly interested in knowing how people feel about having children in worship services. It is very important for people of all ages to be welcome during every worship service in the church.

Any congregation or parishioner who feels otherwise needs to take a good look at the Bible. Did children listen silently when Jesus was speaking? Of course not. But does Jesus create a separate room for the children? Does he tell the parents to get control or get out? No. In fact, Jesus says, “Let the little children come to me!” Church is not a social club for adults.

Church is a place where people of all ages are to be welcomed and loved unconditionally.

Texas: I liked your response, but here’s the

2014 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Dear Annie: I had to respond to “Frustrated with Noise,” who had a problem with children crying in church.

Obviously, this person doesn’t have children.

How are these kids supposed to learn how to behave in church if their parents do not have them participate in the services? Yes, loudly screaming children should be removed until they can calm down, but otherwise the children should remain.

As a young mother, I attended church alone with my two young sons. Once, the baby started crying, and I did not want to leave my 4-year-old in the pew, and he was unwilling to leave with me. When I later apologized to the wonderful Franciscan friar who was the officiate that day, he simply stated, “No worries.

He was just singing his praises to God.” We should all take this attitude toward our youngest church members.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day for your sign, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Be careful about blurting something out and then later, regretting it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might be obsessed with something unusual or unconventional today.

However, because others are irritable and stubborn, possibly no one else is interested. And so it goes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a restless day for

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might be annoyed because someone doesn’t respect your privacy today.

Instead, they let slip personal details about your private life. Yes, this is inconsiderate. Just cope.
