Drug trade in area has ties to organized crime and gangs BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
The most prosperous gangs aren’t flashy or living an obvious high life. They’re smart and secretive, and most likely involved in the organized drug trade. And they could be your next door neighbour, but you’d never know it, says a Greater Trail Mountie. RCMP Cpl. Darryl Orr, commanding officer for the Trail and Castlegar Crime Reduction Units (CRU), has the opinion that gangs and organized crime have been in the area for quite some time though he doesn’t have recent hard evidence to prove it. Drug activity in the region has remained fairly constant in the last few years, Orr maintained, but acknowledged that there’s people in the Trail area with ties to the Hells Angels and other organized groups, so they can facilitate transactions to bring narcotics into the Kootenays. Crime groups, including gangs, distribute drugs for profit, he said, so they often are found in the bigger cities because bigger profits lie in a larger population. “Wherever there’s big fish there will be little fish who want a little piece of that,” continued Orr. “In Trail and Castlegar you’ll have offshoots of that activity, but
it’s just not to a scale big enough to be noticed by law enforcement.” He recalled the high level case from about nine years ago, when the Greater Trail police force busted a sophisticated marijuana grow op in city limits. “This particular group was very smart,” he said. “They didn’t talk to a lot of people and it took a lot of hard work to get into the search warrant situation.” He said the group used high end filtration to mask the odour of the marijuana and keep it from permeating outside the private residences, and they knew how to bypass hydropower so it wouldn’t look like they were consuming excess power. “They used a lot of anti-police methods,” Orr said. “All that stuff is controlled by supply and demand and we are certain anywhere you go there’ll be people with ties to organized crime. “I think the public would be surprised about the number of people who make money illegally.” Locally, the Kootenay Boundary Regional General Investigation Section (GIS) is a 10-person plainclothes unit that focuses on street crime and undercover operations. Five of those positions are full time See IT’S, Page 3
Read CFSEU gang report online BY TIMES STAFF There is no doubt that gang violence is a growing issue in every corner of British Columbia. The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) of B.C. has put together its annual Community Report, which is available for download on the Black Press website bc-anti-gang.com or at cfseu.bc.ca. The report studies the impact that gangs have on communities throughout the province and the ripple effect it has on youth, families and police resources. “We have a story on gang prevention research in youth,” explained Sgt. Lindsey Houghton, CFSEU media relations officer. “There will also be stories on prevention and public assistance.” The report contains a review of the enforcement and impact throughout B.C. coupled with statistics and highlights of gang-related crime in communities.

B.C. teachers vote Wednesday in a move to end strike Arbitration still on table for B.C. teachers BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
B.C.’s teachers are making a move on Wednesday that could bring an end to their bitter labour dispute with the Ministry of Education. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) will ask its 40,000 members to vote ‘Yes’
or ‘No’ to end the strike if the government agrees to a few very significant conditions. First, BCTF is asking the ministry to dismiss the legal clause (Article E80) that gives the province control over classroom size and classroom composition and send the matter back to the court room to be resolved. Second, all other points of contention must be settled by a third party and lead to legally binding decisions for both sides.
“Everything is shifting by the minute,” Andy Davidoff, president of KootenayColumbia Teachers’ Union told the Trail Times early Monday. “But the bottom line is I think we need to take the vote. This is a logical step to show the province that we want to be back in school, teaching our students.” This latest development comes on the heels of the government rejecting the BCTF’s proposal to enter binding arbitra-
tion, with Minister of Education Peter Fassbender, saying that gives parents and teachers false hope that there is a simple way to resolve the conflict. “This dispute needs to be settled at a bargaining table,” said Fassbender in a Saturday news release. “And I invite them again to lift their pickets while the parties work towards mediating an end to this dispute.” See DISPUTE, Page 3

‘It’s supply and demand’ FROM PAGE 1 with wages paid by provincial money, while the other five are municipally funded in an affiliated branch called the crime reduction unit, explained Orr. Bigger centres such as Kelowna, have units specifically designed to fight gang-related activity he noted, and mentioned a large takedown of the Hells Angels in that city a few years ago. “That’s only three hours away,” Orr said. “So to think we are immune to to the reaches of those kind of things is just naive, cause we’re not.” The West Kootenay region does see spikes in the drug trade when a large influx of workers are brought to the area for temporary work assignments. “It’s supply and demand depending on the population,” he continued. “If you bring in, for example, 500 workers for a project and they are staying in Trail, that’s demand. You’ll have people that want it. So instead of two pounds

he now wants ten, and if they can sell it, they’ll find a way to get it in.” But it’s not just drug activity that is tied to gangs and organized crime locally or elsewhere in the province. Online gambling, money laundering, white collar crimes like fraud and bank scams, are also part of the lure to easy money. “I have received information about that illegal kind of stuff in the past,” said Orr. “There’s businesses out there, that people think are completely legitimate, when in fact it’s completely financed by illegitimate money.” Orr encourages anyone in the community to report suspicious activity, because often people stay quiet when indications of crime aren’t obvious. “We are in the business of looking for crimes that stand out and get called in,” said Orr. “We aren’t necessarily looking for illegitimate businesses during the day because they don’t stand out or cause a lot of attention.”

Study: teacher incentives enhance performance THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A new study out of the Fraser Institute contends that financial bonuses and other incentives for teachers should be based on student achievement if Canadians want to remain competitive on the world stage. The report from the conservative-leaning, non-partisan thinktank makes the argument that just as other professionals receive performance-based bonuses, so too should teachers who improve student performance. The report’s author, Vicki Alger, said from Vancouver that while Canada gets good grades in overall student performance relative to other countries, it can’t afford to rest on its laurels. Alger noted there are large discrepancies across the provinces and territories, as well as chronic achievement gaps between aboriginal and non-aboriginal students. And she warned that the current generation will be up against other countries that have developed successful incentive pay programs that are improving
student achievement. “The time to act is now ... the world is only getting more competitive,” she said. Her report points out that public school teacher salaries are currently based on seniority and credentials, which don’t have a demonstrable effect on improving student performance. The study looked at 10 examples of teacher incentive pay programs around the world - including the United States, Europe, South America, Africa, India and Israel. And it found the ones that rewarded teachers primarily or solely based on student achievement were more successful than those that didn’t, or failed to clearly define expectations. Some programs gave teachers annual bonuses as well as higher base pay year after year, while others made ongoing improvements in student achievement the primary condition for moving up the salary scale. The report concluded that in some cases, incentive pay programs were more cost-effective at raising student achievement than increased
funding or decreasing class sizes. To build a successful program, the report says policy-makers must collaborate with teachers on clearly defining what they’re expected to do, provide rigorous and customized professional development - which Canada can do because that education policy is determined locally - ensure that all teachers have a fair chance of earning and receiving rewards, and create a culture of continuous improvement for all teachers based on reward for success or consequence for failure. But governments have to commit to it. Such programs need long term, reliable funding which will encourage teachers to put in the extra effort year after year. The report suggests that funds already earmarked for across-the-board pay increases could be redirected as incentive payments that would become part of a teachers’ permanent base pay. It adds that targeting salary increases towards teachers who raise student achievement would be cost-effective and fair to both taxpayers and teachers as cash-
strapped provinces struggle to curb costs amid teacher contract negotiations. More than 40,000 teachers in British Columbia went on strike in mid-June and delayed the start of the school year for the first time in the province’s history, with the government citing wages as a major hurdle in the dispute. Alger acknowledged that some unions may reject the idea of incentive pay, but she stressed that teachers must have a say for the program to work - noting that when it was imposed in Bolivia student achievement declined. “I think a balanced policy debate where everyone has an equal voice at the table and student achievement is at least the primary factor, that’s your starting point for a successful program,” she said. Some experts were dubious about the purported merits of incentive pay programs. Wayne Ross, an education professor at the University of British Columbia, said it’s based on flawed assumptions, such as extra pay will motivate teachers
prince george
to work harder. Such schemes have failed in many jurisdictions, he said. Pay for performance tries to reduce teaching, learning and education “to this simple idea that some external reward is going to change the way people behave, that money is the driving factor,” Ross said from Vancouver. Education isn’t like a business, said Annie Kidder of People for Education, an Ontario-based watchdog. Teaching is important, but there are many other factors that contribute to how well students do in school, such as socioeconomic conditions and mental-health issues. “Canada has quite a successful education system compared to all other systems in the world,” she said. “And there’s no evidence even looking at the students that are struggling that it’s the teaching that’s the problem.” Improving classroom learning conditions and ensuring reasonable workloads for teachers would make a big difference, said Dianne Woloschuk, president of the Canadian Teachers’ Federation.

Serial killer’s murder plea rejected by Crown BC Hydro warns of scam
THE CANADIAN PRESS PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. - An accused serial killer tried to plead guilty to four counts of second-degree murder at the end of his threemonth trial in Prince George, B.C. Just as the judge was about to give his final instructions to the jury, Cody Legebokoff told the court he wasn’t guilty of first-degree murder, but would plead guilty to the lesser charges. The change in plea was rejected by the Crown

prosecutor, who told the trial in final submissions that Legebokoff planned the murders, sexually assaulted his victims, and should be convicted of the more serious charges of first-degree murder. Legebokoff has claimed that while he was involved in the killings of Jill Stuchenko, Cynthia Maas and Natasha Montgomery, three other people which he identified as X, Y and Z carried out the murders. As for the death of Loren Donn Leslie, the partially-blind 15-year-old girl whose body was found in a remote wooded area, Legebokoff testified he struck the girl with a pipe wrench but the act wasn’t planned and deliberate. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Glen Parrett was to start instructing the jury on factors to consider during their deliberations, however trouble with the court’s sound system delayed the proceeding.

Canada, EU stand firm against Russian aggression THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Canada won’t hesitate to level additional sanctions against Russia if the current fragile ceasefire with Ukraine does not hold, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said Monday. Baird continued to express skepticism over Russia’s actions after talks with Catherine Ashton, his European Union counterpart. Following their morning discussions, Baird and Ashton said Canada and Europe stand as one in opposing Russia’s actions in Ukraine. “In the face of unacceptable provocations in
Ukraine, we continue to stand united in support of free, independent and democratic nations,” they said in a joint statement. Ashton’s visit comes as a fragile ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine continues to hold, amid discussions in Brussels of possible additional EU sanctions against Russia in response to the clash between Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed rebel separatists in eastern Ukraine. “Obviously we want to see a political solution to the crisis in Ukraine,” Baird told reporters as he stood
beside Ashton at Foreign Affairs headquarters. “We remain deeply skeptical of the Russian Federation’s willingness to have a major de-escalation in this crisis. “Let’s give a political solution a chance. Obviously if more provocation and more negative aspects emerge, we would advocate strongly for additional measures.” Ashton expressed guarded optimism, saying much would turn on a Monday evening consultation with on-the-ground observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
“We have to see the effects of the ceasefire, hour by hour,” Ashton said. “We all have to watch very carefully and be certain of what developments are taking place. I want to say very clearly that we want this ceasefire to be strong and solid.” Last month, Canada imposed a new round of sanctions and travel bans on several top Russian and Ukrainian politicians and groups with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin in co-ordination with the United States and the EU. Russia retaliated with its own sanctions that
mainly target Canadian pork exports, which federal government figures say amounted to $563 million in 2012. Ashton was on her way to Washington, but stopped in Ottawa to announce an agreement in principle on the CanadaEuropean Union Strategic Partnership Agreement, a pact that affirms shared values and goals and calls for closer co-operation on several fronts, including security. The agreement will consolidate co-operation on energy, sustainable development and the
environment and opens new opportunities for research and innovation. It also outlines shared values and objectives, including democracy, human rights and the rule of law, international peace and security and effective multilateralism. Ashton said the new pact will make for closer ties. Both ministers said it will complement the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, or CETA, which Canada and Europe have agreed to in principle, but have to yet to rubber stamp with the release of a final text.
CRTC changes could threaten local stations Harper to send advisers iraq
THE CANADIAN PRESS GATINEAU, Que. - Online delivery services such as Netflix and YouTube would be harmed if regulations for Canada’s broadcast industry are extended to the digital world, says Google Canada. The content driver issued the warning Monday at the start of two weeks of Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission hearings looking at how consumers view and pay for TV programming. Some of Canada’s conventional broadcasters and distribution firms argue that online platforms don’t contribute to the country’s programming delivery system and should be forced somehow to make mandatory contributions. But legitimate online services do, in fact, contribute to the system through licensing of content, said Jason Kee, Google’s
public policy and government relations counsel. Mandatory contributions would in the end cost consumers, if a mechanism could even be devised and enforced, he said. “Mandatory contributions would likely increase costs to consumers in the form of increased subscription fees and creators in form of diminished license fees or revenue share for them,” he told the hearing. In his presentation, Kee suggested that instituting an online content contribution system would face “practical challenges.” The CRTC opened the hearings, dubbed “Let’s Talk TV,” with the aim of developing new regulations to tackle the dramatic, technology-driven changes that have taken place in the television industry. Companies including Google and Netflix
are now in the mix, offering TV program delivery services, streamed online. Their presence has put the conventional television industry under pressure, straining revenues as advertising dollars move to other media. The big cable companies are also feeling the effects of change, particularly with a desire voiced by the federal government to move to a so-called “pick-and-pay” system that would require an unbundling of TV channel choices. The CRTC has also proposed allowing local TV stations to shut down their transmitters, which would require consumers of

ahead,” said Blais. The group Friends of Canadian Broadcasting says the regulatory changes proposed by the CRTC would harm local TV stations and would not help consumers. “Pick-and-pay along with the other significant changes on the table ... will likely harm local broadcasting, especially local news, which is the kind of programming Canadians think is most important,” the group said in a statement. “In fact, local, independent broadcasters-stations in small- and mediumsized markets are blunt that the changes could force them off the air.”
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Stephen Harper’s decision to send combat advisers to Iraq rather than joining NATO’s planned rapid reaction force likely has as much to do with Canada’s searing experience in Afghanistan as it does with cost. So say defence experts in the wake of the prime minister’s announcement last week that Canada will send special forces troops to advise Iraqi and Kurdish forces battling the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). A joint committee of MPs and senators will have the opportunity Tuesday to grill Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird and Defence Minister Rob Nicholson about the decision. To the alarm of the NDP, and to a lesser extent the Liberals, Harper did not rule out making further commitments to battle extremists in the region following last week’s NATO summit in Wales.

free, over-the-air programming to pay for TV through one of many service providers. In opening the hearings, CRTC chairman Jean-Pierre Blais suggested that rules protecting specific channels or broadcasters could be thrown out in favour of new regulations that empower Canadians to get TV programming how they want it, when they want it. “Rather than protect specific channels or broadcasters or a particular way of doing business, we must ensure that the television system meets the needs and interests of Canadians, both today and in the years

Factory model fading for schools T he B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s latest demand, for binding arbitration on selected pocketbook issues of its members, is going nowhere. This follows months of the union’s insistence on mediation. First a B.C. Supreme Court judge met with both sides and walked away. Then the BCTF’s preferred choice, Vince Ready, agreed that mediation won’t fix the current version of the mess he last examined in 2007. BCTF president Jim Iker announced the arbitration gambit on Friday, in one of the webcasts he uses to rally the union’s exhausted membership. Education Minister Peter Fassbender replied that with five minutes’ notice to the government’s chief negotiator and lacking specifics on what would be subject to arbitration, the proposal would forfeit the government’s mandate to control costs.
“This government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement to one union that does not reflect what the other public sector has done,” Fassbender said. In short, there will be a negotiated settlement, eventually. The union chose to begin the strike, and now must find a way to end it. The government’s position in this dispute is unlike any of the many that preceded it. And it points the way to an evolution of education that cannot be stopped. The announcement of a $40-a-day payment for days lost during a fall strike for children under 13 was greeted with scorn by the BCTF and its echo chambers. Parents won’t be bribed, they want school, not daycare, it’s an insult, went the refrain. Before the first week of the fall strike was over, nearly two thirds of eligible parents had enrolled,

faced with pickets at their schools and real and mounting child care and tutoring costs. The union executive, collecting their hefty salaries while teachers do without even token strike pay, said members who are parents should refuse the money. Some B.C. teachers have begun advertising tutoring services online. With distance learning and other online education options expanding in all 60 public school districts, the digital revolution is unfolding quickly.
The B.C. government made a couple of announcements in April, one about moving to digital versions of textbooks and another about a digital merger of 1,600 school libraries with public and post-secondary schools. Growth of options accelerates. Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.” One of B.C.’s early models for self-directed learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time. It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 stu-
dents showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Selfdirected study has become a crash course. Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year. In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule. “Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said. In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out.

Premier should admit she’s wrong I was very disappointed when Christy Clark was elected as premier of BC. I did not vote for her. However as time, and the teachers dispute, progressed I actually became very thankful that against all odds she became the leader. Let me explain my reasoning. When Ms. Clark was Minister of Education she introduced legislation that stripped our children of funding that would help them become strong, confident, academically, socially and emotionally prepared students. I suspect she was hoping this would be the beginning of the end of public education. What she didn’t recognize was the tenacity and capabilities of the professional teachers she employed. She didn’t recognize that
social media would expose the truth behind what she told public media. She did not count on the wisdom of the public to see through her $40 bribes. Lastly she did not count on teachers to value public education and love their students above their paychecks. Did she think that depleting the BCTF strike funds completely by tying us up in legal battles would cause us to go back to work without ensuring that public education and equity for all B.C. children was defended? If so, she sorely underestimated our courage and our passion. So back to my point. Why am I thankful that against all odds Ms. Clark was elected? I am thankful because so often pol-

iticians are not held accountable for the devastation they have caused as a result of their choices and decisions, yet here she is having to face the real consequences of the policies she initiated over a decade ago. I will humbly offer her the same advice I offer my students. Admit you were wrong (there is no shame in taking responsibility for your bad decisions). Apologize, then fix whatever you can to the best of your ability. In my experience it is only the individual who is too filled with pride that can not do this. We as parents, teachers and taxpayers will gain a little respect and even a little trust in our government if we see this happen. Denise Mauro Trail

that a strategy? Doubtless the Pentagon provided the White House with plenty of options. All Obama needed to do was decide. He hasn’t yet. Hence the apoplexy. The fall-out of all this policy debate was discussed in terms of the upcoming mid-term elections. Mid-terms seldom help a president, and those of an incumbent’s sixth year are especially painful because all presidents are lame ducks by then. The bottom line: Republicans can add a few seats in the House, which they already control, and somewhere between five and eight seats in the Senate where they need six to control that body. So expect even deeper divisions between Congress and the White House, more partisan loyalty, and less willingness to compromise. Expect acrimonious confirmation hearings, Congressional objections to Obama initiatives, and presidential vetoes to Congressional ones. When I got home, my wife asked me: “how’s the mood in D.C.?” Among political scientists it was animated. We have lots of stuff to talk about. Among political operatives – and a lot show up at these events – it was gloomy. Nobody likes gridlock, and nobody knows how to move beyond it. Most of us admire America at its best. Today, it’s great to be Canadian. Barry Cooper teaches political science at the University of Calgary.

PEOPLE KATE SHAW DANCERS
OBITUARIES DURRELL, ROBERT JAMES – March 2, 1939 to August 25, 2014 Bob was born in Quesnel, BC to parents Robert Thomas and Nettie Jane Durrell, both have predeceased him. Bob passed away in the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail, BC with his wife Judy and brother Reg at his side after a courageous battle with Stage 4 terminal cancer. Bob was raised in Quesnel and attended both elementary and secondary school there and vocational training in Prince George. Bob loved large equipment and worked with heavy equipment all his working years. He started out clearing land in the Quesnel area and in later years worked as a road building contractor throughout areas of the province; mainly the Sea to Sky Highway and the Kootenays. Most recently, constructing a road on his mountain property in Genelle/Castlegar. Bob and Judy loved to travel around Western Canada and the US in their motorhome visiting family and friends and seeing new and different places. They loved to socialize and dance whenever the opportunity arose. Bob leaves behind his loving wife Judy and her children Barry, Claudine, Donald and Dean and their families as well as Judy’s sisters Kay (Ted), Lucy and brother Delmer (Bev). He also leaves behind his brothers Art (Sandy) and Reg (Pat) as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins. Bob will be missed by many. A special thanks to family and friends who have travelled to Genelle to visit Bob and Judy over the past several months. Also a very special thanks to Dr. Hii for his compassionate care. There will be no service by request.
Bieber off the hook THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Canadian pop star Justin Bieber is “relieved” prosecutors have dropped an assault charge against him in connection with an alleged attack on a Toronto limousine driver, his lawyer said Monday. The charge, which stemmed from an early morning incident on Dec. 30, was withdrawn because there was no reasonable prospect of conviction, prosecutors said in a brief court appearance. Bieber was charged with one count of assault after he and five others were picked up by a limousine at a Toronto nightclub. Police alleged one of the passengers hit the limousine driver during an altercation. “The Crown would be required to prove that an intentional application of force occurred, as well as who applied that force,” prosecutor David Mitchell told the court. “There were a number of people in the vehicle seated behind the driver at the time of the incident, and the Crown is not in a position to establish the identification of the person who came into contact with the complainant beyond a reasonable doubt based on the evidence available.” The singer’s lawyer, Brian Greenspan, said police did their job in investigating the complaint and the Crown made the right decision based on the resulting evidence.

(From the left, back row) Emily Ashton, Cara Haggarty, Natasha Robine, (Front row) Sasha Lok and Andraya Lok attended a fourday Highland Dance Camp in Cranbrook Aug 25-28 taught by B.C.’s best dance teachers. The camp’s focus was on advanced technique for dance as well as the introduction of the Championship and Premiership Steps for the 2015 year. The premier dancers can compete at championship and premiership competitions throughout the year and, at those events, must dance the specific dances, and specific steps outlines by Scotdance. In regular competitions, the dancers may dance steps of their choosing. Following that, Haggarty and Robine travelled to Alberta for the 101st Calgary Highland Games on Aug. 30 and the 24th Canmore Highland Games on Aug 31. There were 262 dancers competing each day including 24 dancers from B.C. but only two from the Kootenays. The girls were great rivals for our Alberta neighbors and Robine placed fifth in the Irish Jig, and sixth in the Half Tulloch. Haggarty placed fifth in the Sean Triubhas, first in the Half Tulloch, third in the Blue Bonnets, and first in the Village Maid. Next up for the Kate Shaw School of Highland Dance is the start of the dance year. Classes start Sept. 9. The Trail Caledonian Fall Dance Competition is Oct. 25, held at the Trail Memorial Centre.
ROY LEONARD
WGN radio personality had perfect timing THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO - Longtime Chicago radio and TV personality Roy Leonard, who introduced listeners and viewers to some of America’s biggest celebrities as they were just getting started, has died. He was 83. Leonard was well known around the Midwest for his decades of talk radio, celebrity interviews and movie reviews on Chicago’s WGN Radio and TV, where he crafted an improvisational interview style around the art of listening and allowing a conversation to unfold. “He always read the book before he saw the movie; he did his research, and then he let a conversation happen. He didn’t try to pre-plan
everything,” said his son, Kelly Leonard. Leonard died Thursday night at Evanston Hospital, north of Chicago, surrounded by his six sons, their wives and several of his grandchildren, Kelly Leonard said. Leonard’s three-decade run at WGN was marked by interviews with an array of entertainers, ranging from the mime Marcel Marceau to Tom Cruise. He caught many of them as they were just starting out, talking on location with Christopher Reeve about “Superman” and Dustin Hoffman about making “Tootsie” in 1982. Kelly Leonard, executive vice-president of com-
edy group The Second City, said his family’s dinner table often resembled his dad’s radio show, with discussions of music, politics and culture and occasional appearances by musicians and other entertainers themselves. Leonard was born in Redwood, Minnesota. He came from nothing, though he didn’t dwell on growing up poor, Kelly Leonard said. According to his son, Leonard ran away from home at 16 and ended up on the streets of Boston, where he was taken in by a woman who hired him to walk her dog and helped him through college. He did some sports playby-play and landed radio
gigs. By 1967, he arrived at WGN, where he was reaching audiences around the Midwest. In 1985, he took over hosting the long-running show “Family Classics,” which aired films on TV. Leonard had been in the hospital for several weeks with respiratory and other health problems, his son said. When it became clear he would soon pass away, Leonard’s family gathered around him, listening to one of his favourite jazz artists, Dave Brubeck, on an iPad and waiting for a priest to give him last rites. “Literally at the end of the prayer, my dad went,” Kelly Leonard said. “He always knew how to sign off. His timing was perfect.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Actress Rosie Perez and Republican media operative Nicolle Wallace are joining ABC’s daytime chat show, “The View.” The network said Wednesday that the two will join Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O’Donnell on the panel for the show’s new season, beginning Sept. 15. Goldberg is the only holdover on the program, where creator Barbara Walters retired from an onscreen role this spring and longtime producer Bill Geddie left after learning a new offscreen boss was taking over. Perez is an actress and choreographer who has appeared in the movies “Do the Right Thing” and “Fearless.” Wallace, a political analyst for MSNBC, was communications chief for President George W. Bush’s reelection campaign and was an adviser on John McCain’s 2008 campaign.

Stefani overcomes nerves THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Gwen Stefani says she was nervous about working with one person in particular when she started on “The Voice” as a panelist: her husband. Gavin Rossdale was the “coach” brought in to give advice to members of Stefani’s team of aspiring singers on the NBC music competition show, which starts its new season on Sept. 22. “It was just awkward,” she said. “We’ve only collaborated on making babies.”

Spawning channel open house
Submitted photo
If you really want to see ‘redd’ then Meadow Creek Spawning Channel Open House is the place to be on Sept. 13 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. You’ll see plenty of redds – the gravels nests of the Kokanee – as well as the colour red, with tens of thousands of Kokanee, either on the spawning beds, or jostling to get into the spawning channel. The channel can accommodate hundreds of thousands of spawning Kokanee (last year the count was 166,000) and millions of eggs. It plays a vital role for Kokanee; accounting for about 75 per cent of total kokanee fry production in Kootenay Lake. The Open House is a free, family event that provides a great opportunity to talk to FLNRO biologists and field technicians, and view the fish at (or near) the peak of their run. For more information about the Open House or the new viewing hours phone 250-354-6333.

‘Don’ of a new era in Cranbrook Don Cherry Sports Grill to open in October By Arne Petryshen Cranbrook Townsman
Cranbrook will be getting a little taste of Don Cherry, with plans for a new Don Cherry’s Sports Grill to open in October. It will be located in the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort, and will become the most westerly location in the Don Cherry’s Sports Grill system. “We are delighted to partner with Don Cherry’s Sports Grill Inc.,” said Joseph Huber, CEO of Huber Developments Ltd. which owns the resort in Cranbrook. It is operated by Prestige Hotels & Resort. Huber said they were looking for a concept that would complement the resort, as well as a business group that shared sim-
ilar values. “Adding Don Cherry’s Sports Grill to our facility will enhance our guest experience for resort customers, and provide our local community with a great new venue to enjoy fun, food and sports,” he said. Don Cherry’s Sport Grill is Canadian owned and based out of Parry Sound, Ontario. In 1985, Cherry started a chain of themed restaurants called Don Cherry’s Grapevine along with family and a partner. The chain grew until 1995 when they turned from franchising to licensing. In 2002, Chris and Darrel Painter purchased a license to operate a Don Cherry’s Sports Grill in Parry Sound. Within five years they purchased the the concept as a whole and have been expanding.
They focus on converting space in hotels and inns. The Painters are excited to bring the concept to Cranbrook. “Most folks like to slide by our places to enjoy the game with a frosty beverage, but believe us; you don’t need a special occasion or a sports event to visit our family friendly environment and enjoy our great food,”
they said. “We are very excited to work with Prestige Hotels & Resorts and look forward to the grand opening of this new location.” The Cranbrook location is undergoing renovations and will include a sports-oriented atmosphere that will feature national and local sports memorabilia.

Tickets available for just the Friday Night in the White Garden for $5000 or the Saturday banquet at the Riverbelle for $5000. Tickets available at City Hall or Century 21 Kootenay Homes Inc.

Tree pruning put on hold Concerns raised over program
By Greg Nesteroff Nelson Star
Nelson Hydro’s tree pruning program will be temporarily suspended until city council can meet with the contractor to address community complaints. “There have been some concerns raised that the pruning is too severe, that perhaps it is not balanced,” acting mayor Deb Kozak said last week. “People are dis-

turbed about why it’s being done and about the health of the trees. Council is getting a report from staff about how it’s proceeding.” Over the summer, the city-owned utility has been removing every limb or branch within three meters — and some cases five meters — of its power lines, leaving behind many Y-shaped trees. When the plan was announced in March, line manager Doug Pickard told council he anticipated complaints. “People are going to be concerned about
the amount of clearance we’re going for, but it needs to be done. “It’s industry standard,” he said, noting their goal was improved safety and reliability. Kozak agreed Nelson Hydro did explain it would be a “dramatic” change, but “I don’t think people were quite prepared.” She said council received a report from Nelson Hydro this week and will meet with the company doing the work as well as the city’s in-house arborists before the

next council meeting. Although no date has been set, she expected it to happen within a week. In the meantime, some work around schools will be completed, but the rest will be on hold — at least within city limits. Kozak said the contractor will continue to work in outlying areas Nelson Hydro serves. “It’s not a big deal to stop for a little while,” she said. Two weeks ago, city crews cut down an old silver maple at Lakeside Park after a huge limb broke off, but Kozak said it was unrelated to the hydro work. In that case, internal rot was blamed. Kozak said she didn’t expect the tree trimming to become an election issue, but acknowledged the city has “been receiving a lot of communication [from the public] about tree pruning policy and practice.”

There are eight kittens in one cage at the Revelstoke animal shelter – a mixture of orange, black, gray and calico. Some look longingly out of the cage, while others shy away. They are amongst at least 10 cats and 22 kittens at the shelter these days, some of them born there after their pregnant mothers were rescued. Their presence has the Revelstoke & District Humane Society in a bind as they struggle to feed and care for the animals. “This is the highest number of cats we have seen at one time in about eight years,” said Joy Armstrong, a member of the society’s board, in a presentation to council on. “Our goal is to find homes for these kittens and adults cats in the near future as our shelter is nearing its limit and will be over full if the animals are not adopted out.”

BASEBALL WORLD CUP
Canada misses medal MIYAZAKI, Japan - For just the second time over six World Cup competitions, the Canadian Women’s National Team is returning home without a medal, after being walked off by Australia 3-2 in the seventh inning of the bronze-medal matchup on Sunday. Heading into this year’s IBAF Women’s Baseball World Cup in Miyazaki, the Canadian squad, with Fruitvale’s Ella Matteucci in the line up, played four exhibition games in Japan against three high school teams and a university all-star lineup, following the national tournament in Surrey. “We have some young players who had their first World Cup experience here and they did very well for their first time,” said Canada manager Andre Lachance. “We still have a core group of athletes who are very solid, starting with Steph (Savoie) and then our two middle infielders (Nicole Luchanski and Bradi Wall), then Ash (Stephenson) at third base and Kate (Psota) at first, so that’s not an issue. “We’ll build around those players,

the core players, for next year and make sure we surround them with players who are committed to helping our team win.” The Canadian women got out to an early lead in the matchup against Australia thanks to a one-out single from Wall (Swift Current, Sask.) to start things off, followed by a costly error from the home team. Psota (Burlington, Ont.) brought in the first run on a sacrifice fly and Meagan Cornelssen (Grand Prairie) immediately drove in the second with a single. Team Australia came back for one in the second but that was all they would get until the bottom of the fifth inning, after both teams had to pack up and change venues in the third frame because of rain at Sun Marine Stadium. The Emeralds added one run in the bottom of the fifth before walking Canada off in the final frame on a none-out, bases-loaded walk. Matteucci came in as a pinch hitter to lead off the top of the seventh but would register an out on a fly ball to centre field.
Trail KidSport hosts sport and culture fair BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff
For the first time ever, KidSport is bringing community programs and groups together in one room. Betty Anne Marino, the chairperson for the KidSport organization in Greater Trail, says this kind of event is unprecedented in the area. “We wanted to sponsor this event as a way to help bring community groups together in one night where the community can come,” she said. “It is something that is brand new. We knew this kind of thing happened in Castlegar, and we knew it was a raving success over there, so we said, why don't we do it (here).” There are over 25 groups registered to have displays at what is being called the Sport, Recreation and Culture Marketplace, and it isn't limited to hockey teams and baseball. “There are the minor sports groups, the various swim clubs, Trail gymnastics and the Beaver Valley Skating Club,” said Trisha Davison, treasurer for the Greater Trail KidSport. “Then we also have the culture groups: Trail and District Public Library will be there, the historical society and the Trail

MLB: weather wrecks havoc on pennant races
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The San Francisco Giants were ahead by six runs, and manager Bruce Bochy was still antsy. That’s because a rainstorm was threatening to make that big lead moot. “These are all important games,” Bochy said. “A nice lead going into the fourth inning, that’s the last thing you want to see, is it called and have to play it again.” The rain Friday night in Detroit eventually subsided, allowing the Giants to finish an 8-2 win over the Tigers, but the weather has played a major role in some key games lately. On Aug. 31 in Kansas City, the Royals trailed Cleveland 4-2 in the 10th inning when the game was suspended because of rain. It’ll be finished Sept. 22 when the teams play in Cleveland. On Aug. 19, Bochy’s Giants were declared the losers of a game they trailed 2-0 in Chicago against the Cubs. It was called after 4 1/2 innings and a rain delay of 4 1/2 hours - but San Francisco won a protest when MLB ruled that the tarp had not been properly put away after its previous use. The game was ruled suspended, and the Giants lost anyway when it was resumed. Bad weather late in the season can impact some of the year’s biggest games -
and there’s not much time left for makeup dates. San Francisco got to keep its big lead against the Tigers - but only after the teams waited out a delay of 2 hours, 42 minutes. They were able to get the game in, much to Bochy’s relief. The suspended game between the Royals and Indians means the AL Central standings are a bit deceiving. First-place Kansas City leads Detroit by two games and Cleveland by five - but the Indians need only three outs to finish a victory over the Royals, meaning things may be a bit tighter than they look. Here are a few things to watch around the majors this week: SHOWDOWN IN MOTOWN: Kansas City is 31-12 since July 22, and there wasn’t a thing the Tigers could do about it until now. Detroit hosts a threegame series against the Royals starting Monday. It’s the first time the teams have played each other since July 13. Detroit is 9-4 against the Royals this season. R I V A L R Y RENEWED: The Giants trail the firstplace Los Angeles Dodgers by three games in the NL West, and San Francisco hosts a three-game series between the teams starting Friday night. K E R S H A W WATCH: Dodgers

ace Clayton Kershaw will take the mound Tuesday night against San Diego with a 1.70 ERA. Over the last three decades, only Dwight Gooden (1.53 in 1985) and Greg Maddux (1.56 in 1994 and 1.63 in 1995) have finished the year lower than that. Gooden and Maddux were unanimous winners of the Cy Young Award those years, although neither was named MVP. FADING: On the morning of June 29, Milwaukee led the NL Central by 6 1/2 games. The Brewers are 23-37 since then and have fallen to third in the division. They start a four-game series at Miami on Monday night. The Brewers have lost 11 of 12 - the second time this season they’ve gone through a stretch like that. MAGIC NUMBER: Baltimore enters the week with its magic number down to 12 to eliminate the second-place New York Yankees in the AL East. The Orioles host a four-game set against the Yankees starting Friday. STAT OF THE WEEK The Royals took two of three from the Yankees in New York - and Kansas City did not score an earned run in either of its victories.

Serena closing in on record THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Serena Williams isn’t sure if she’s willing or able to reach 22 Grand Slam titles.

Navratilova. And should she get to 19, she figures she’ll then want 20. If she keeps playing the way she did in Flushing Meadows, maybe Steffi Graf’s Open-era record of 22 will start to sound realistic. It was an unusual scene after a major sports event late Sunday night: Williams and the player she defeated in the final, Caroline Wozniacki, were celebrating together. Wozniacki took over her good friend Williams’ phone and was posting photos to Instagram with singer Joe Jonas and model Gigi Hadid.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - It appears as if anything might be possible in “Utopia.” Whether the masterminds behind the new Fox unscripted society-building series are ensuring participants can legally hunt, readying for wildfires or accounting for a cast member’s impending pregnancy, they’ve seemingly prepared for every possible situation at the rural compound where “Utopia” is being filmed. Except for one: What if nobody watches? That’s not a scenario the creators of this human ant farm even want to consider. “Realistically, I don’t know,” conceded executive producer Conrad Green in his trailer office across from the “Utopia” set a few days before the participants - or “pioneers,” as they’re called moved onto a made-over Santa Clarita, California, movie ranch. “The hope, of course, is that it will be a huge success and go on for much more than a year.” Based on a Dutch format, the U.S. version of “Utopia” is billed as a 365-day-long social experiment where 15 folks have been selected to live and work together on a bare-bones plot of land while being filmed by 130 cameras. Unlike similar reality TV trials like “Survivor” and “Big Brother,” there’s no host, competition or prize. There aren’t even humans carrying around cameras. The action is captured entirely by remotecontrolled gizmos positioned in trees, on rocks and throughout the only pair of buildings on the “Utopia” site: a small stable stocked with a chicken coop and two dairy cows, and a large open-air barn where the cast can find shade and sleep. The footage will be overseen, edited and streamed from a complex of trailers steps away from the set. Green said the producers cast Utopians with contrasting personalities in hopes that the ambitious show wouldn’t simply result in a televised “hippy commune.” The pioneers include a belly dancer, Southern pastor and a pregnant woman due in December. The series will feature a monthly elimination that will keep the cast changing throughout the life of “Utopia.” “Utopia,” which debuts Sunday before airing each Tuesday and Friday, marks an audacious gambit for Fox.

Dancing with the Stars
Cast set for new season
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Actress Lea Thompson, “Duck Dynasty” diva Sadie Robertson and NASCAR driver Michael Waltrip are making tracks for the new season of “Dancing With the Stars.” ABC on Thursday announced the 13 contestants for its fall round of the dancing competition. They also include talk-show host Tavis Smiley, “Pretty Little Liars” star Janel Parrish, Olympic athlete Lolo Jones, actor Antonio Sabato Jr. and fashion designer Betsey Johnson. Other amateur hoofers include comedy veteran Tommy Chong, YouTube star Bethany Mota, Ultimate Fighting champ Randy Couture, “Mean Girls” star Jonathan Bennett and actor-dancer Alfonso Ribeiro. The new lineup was unveiled on “Good Morning America.” The 19th season of “Dancing” premieres Sept. 15. Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews return as co-hosts.
Bell buys HBO content THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Bell Media has acquired the exclusive Canadian rights to HBO’s classic catalogue of television programming. The multimedia giant announced a landmark deal Thursday that will allow it to screen all of HBO’s iconic shows that are no longer on the air. The announcement was made shortly after Bell, which runs HBO Canada, and Corus Entertainment revealed they had acquired all past seasons of HBO’s current programming, such as “Game of Thrones” and “Girls.” Bell will be able to offer the shows on streaming video on demand platforms, positioning the company as stronger competitors to Netflix and Shomi, the recently announced streaming service launched by Rogers and Shaw Media. The acquisition represents more than 850 hours of past scripted programming, such as “The Sopranos” and “The Wire,” as well as HBO movies, documentaries and specials. A Bell Media spokesperson declined to say how much the company paid for the acquisition or how soon classic HBO shows that are no longer in production would appear on video on demand services.

Ignore mother-in-law’s endless opinions Mailbox
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
Dear North Carolina: Mom needs better boundaries, but unless your wife agrees, you aren’t going to get anywhere. Please don’t grant your mother-inlaw so much importance. She has opinions. You don’t have to take them seriously. Practice nodding and ignoring her. When she comes over, welcome her warmly and then leave the room. It’s the type of diplomacy that married couples have practiced for centuries. Your wife will appreciate your graciousness, and you’ll calm down. Dear Annie: I have a friend -- well, now she’s an ex-friend -who would go to a res-
hoarding? She also has never invited me into her house. Whenever I picked her up, she was waiting outside. She only has friends for a short while and then stops calling them, claiming they have mental problems. Why would she behave this way? -- Odd Behavior Dear Odd: It’s possible your friend has a compulsive disorder that makes her take things from restaurants, and it could also tie in with her not wanting you to enter her home. It’s also possible she has financial problems or a gambling addiction or some other reason for needing table scraps. We don’t know. But we do think your friend has issues she doesn’t want other people to be aware of, and when someone gets too close, she cuts off the friendship. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Lonely Mother,” who said her children married and stopped visiting.
I married three years ago. I, too, didn’t visit my parents very often after that marriage. Here’s why: I was raised to believe it was rude to invite myself over. So I’d call to say hi, but was politely waiting for an invitation that didn’t come.
A year after my marriage, my mother commented that I rarely visit. I told her I was waiting to be invited. She was stunned. She never considered that possibility because I am her daughter and am welcome anytime. Once this was cleared
up, I started visiting more. -- Love My Mom Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net.

taurant and, no matter what she ordered, ask for extra this, extra that. If they provided rolls, she would eat one and ask for more. She would ask for a doggie bag and load it with everything on the table. It was embarrassing. I once asked whether she was going to take the salt and pepper shakers, hoping she would get the hint. If I had leftovers on my plate, she would ask to take them. Once, when I left the table, she had the waiter take the potato skin from my plate and box it up. That was the last straw. Her excuse was that she couldn’t waste food, but honestly, her dog needs my potato skin? I refuse to be an enabler of this odd behavior, so I no longer go to restaurants with her. This woman never starved growing up. She has no money problems. She has a good job, owns her own home and has two cars. Is this connected to

Dear Annie: I cannot stand to be around my mother-in-law. Since the day I married, “MIL” has been telling my wife and me how to live our lives. She issues opinions on everything from how to raise our dog and decorate our house to how to parent our baby. We can’t go one visit without her making numerous suggestions. I have discussed this with my wife many times to no avail. I don’t feel it is my place to set her mother straight. I’ve told my wife that unless she speaks to her mom about her need to run our lives, nothing will ever change How do I get my wife to understand that I don’t want to deal with this anymore? It stresses me out so much that I’m almost willing to end our marriage in order to get away from my mother-in-law. Please help. -- Frustrated in North Carolina

Changes to IWA pension has some ex-workers irate By Arne Petryshen Cranbrook Townsman
A group of former forestry workers feel they have been slighted in a move by the IWA Forest Industry Pension Plan. Stephen Thacker, one of those workers, said because of an amendment made by trustees, he and other workers will no longer be paid out the commuted value of their pension. The letter that Thacker and others received earlier this year read: “When you terminated your membership you were told that a payment of the balance of your commuted value would be paid out five years from the initial payment. This is no longer the case. Effective March l, 2014, the Trustees will no longer be making these balance payments. Therefore, if you are expecting a balance payment after March 1, 2014, this payment has been eliminated.” Thacker said he wants others affected by this change to know about it and band together to perhaps do something. “There’s supposed to be 2,500 people that this is affecting at least,” Thacker said. “I just want to find these people and get them on board.” He said he has a local law firm looking into it and was also recently approached by a group from the Lower Mainland. That group is seeking legal advice from a speciality lawyer for pensions. They are now waiting to find out from the two lawyers what their next move should be. “Basically that’s a contract — how can you go back on that?” Thacker said. “The funds aren’t there they say,” Thacker said. “Every year when we were in contract negotiations, all we ever heard was when the fund was fully funded. I think it’s only been once in the 30 years since I’ve been in the IWA. Is it ever going to be fully funded? With more automation, with more people losing their jobs, sawmills shutting
down?” “The amendments were made because the current funding of the pension plan under B.C. pension legislation—it’s required that the board of trustees make changes to the plan to demonstrate that the contributions coming into the plan are sustainable for benefits being paid,” said Derrick Johnstone, deputy general manager at IWA Forest Industry Pension & Ltd Plans. “To my knowledge there’s never been a reduction like this. It’s the board’s responsibility to examine all options that are available to them. They worked for months with their advisors to determine the most fair and equitable with the membership. The elimination of the commuted value payments was one of the changes.
“They made some other benefit reductions and at the same time active members increased their contribution significantly.” Johnstone said once the board of trustees approved the benefit reductions they had to go to the superintendent of pensions for B.C. for approval before they could be enacted, and that approval was given by the superintendent. “The elimination of the commuted values has only impacted people that have left the plan,” Johnstone said. “The 25,000 pensioners have not been affected. The members in the plan are paying more, as are the employers in the plan.” He said the board of trustees responsible for the pension plan are made up of equal parts union representatives and industry representatives. He explained the
plan is called a multiemployer plan. It represents all of the bargaining forestindustry members, in this case the United Steelworkers. The commuted value changes affected about 2,400 people. Johnstone said there is really no process to appeal the changes for those affected. “Once the superintendent of pensions has approved them, they are in effect,” he said. “Of course members are free to solicit legal advice on their own, and many have.” Thacker said he is losing $26,000 with the loss of the commuted value payments. “On a pension, that’s a year’s wages,” he said. The IWA noted in the letter that many factors over the past several years have made it difficult for the financial health of the Plan.
