Children the focus of health and environment plan BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
Improving health in Greater Trail and protecting the environment, begins with the communities’ youngest members. Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs was the first to sign the “It Starts with the Kids!” document at the Trail Area Health & Environment Committee (THEC) meeting Tuesday evening. The 61-page resource is not legally binding but is considered a living document which means it’s dynamic and can be updated as the issues surrounding life in an industrial community evolve along with technologies and research. Now called the Trail Area Health and Environment Program (THEP) the renewed collaboration between community stakeholders is in it’s third edition. This time, the scope is broader, the approach more inclusive, and it acknowledges the most recent advances in scientific research on lead. “This program also explores the broader opportunities for enhancing childhood development,” wrote Bogs in the document’s forward. “A child’s early development is dependent on many factors,” he continued, adding that communities should do more to support children and families during the critical years when capacity to succeed and

As one of his final duties as the long-serving chair of the Trail Area Health and Environment Committee, Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs signed off on a renewed community program Tuesday evening. thrive is being determined. “Here’s where Trail can show the way,” he added. The program’s new plan outlines how children’s lead exposure can be prevented and how levels of lead in the environment can be furthered reduced. “We have an enthusiastic core
community group, including THEC, keen to champion this vision of a community that cares for its kids and supports the families that nurture them.” The community-led program focuses on THEC’s mission to create a healthy environment with five key components that
include family health, healthy homes, property development (includes soil remediation) community greening and air quality. The document includes detailed histories of children’s blood levels in Trail, which have decreased significantly since the installation of the KIVCET smelt-
er in 1997. This fall, the testing will continue during blood level clinics organized through the Interior Health Family Health program. To date, 229 children aged between six months and three years have been invited to be tested. Additionally, an “Ages and Stages Day” is slated for Oct. 8 at the Kiro Wellness, which is an event that houses many of the area’s childhood developmental resources under one roof. Since 1989 Bogs has been a THEC member, and served 17 of those years as committee chair. He is one of 16 signatories on the renewed collaboration between the area’s stakeholders who have a combined interest and dedication to promoting a healthy environment. “I’m very pleased that we managed to finalize the wording of this document that in itself was a major challenge with a document of this magnitude and complexity,” he said to the meeting’s full house that included members from Teck Trail Operations, the BC Ministry of Environment, Interior Health, Warfield, and the community-at large. “Any time you have a number of ministries, companies and the community involved it’s difficult to come up with words that everyone is pleased with, so well done.”
Paws for a Cause raises awareness BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff
Dogs and their owners will be putting their paws to the pavement this weekend to help their furry friends in need. On Saturday, the annual BC SPCA Paws for a Cause fundraiser is taking place at Birchbank Park and Danielle Jackman, manager of the Trail branch of the SPCA, says the event is going raise money and awareness for the shelter and even give your pets a day out in the park with friends. “It is about raising funds for homeless, abused and neglected animals,” she said. “We try to advocate and prevent (abuse of animals). We also find that it is really good for dog socialization. There aren't

very many opportunities to do that with so many dogs (in one spot).” Jackman says animal abuse isn't a huge issue in the Trail area, but there are a few cases that require intervention from the SPCA. “We mostly have minor things that can be resolved with education,” she said. “We just try and get out there and let people know the needs of their animals such as food, water and shelter. Even if it is a major case, we always start with education to see if we can resolve the situation first, but unfortunately, there are other situations where we have to step in further.” Funds raised at this weekend's Paws for a Cause event will not only go towards education on animal needs, but will also

go towards shelter operations and community presence. “All funds raised locally will stay local,” said Jackman. “It is a big benefit for the animals in our community and it not only will help animals, but will help provide for the programs that we offer.” Those public programs include spaying and neutering, food banks and presentations in schools. “If we get a litter of kittens in, we can offer to spay or neuter the adult cats,” explained Jackman. “(The money) helps anytime we are in the community.” The Saturday afternoon event is going to be filled with activities for both dogs and families including demonstrations in See TRICKS, Page 3

Diesel engines have come a long way
R
emember when you dreaded following a diesel truck or car? They produced that Pig Pen-like black plume especially climbing hills. In case you haven’t noticed there are more diesels on the road than ever. You may not have noticed because most of them do not produce the remotest of a black plume. I was reminded of how far the automotive sector (both light and heavy duty) has come when I was driving beside a train along Moyie Lake. The train was just belching out a black plume. That just does not happen with today’s diesel trucks and cars.

Emission controls have hit diesels hard. Unlike the late seventies when automobiles came under the emissions microscope and horsepower went down along with emissions, the diesel has maintained or gained horsepower with each new iteration while significantly reducing emissions. In order to successfully accomplish this the diesel engine fuel control and emission control systems are very complex. Diesel fuel injection used to be the epitome of a mechanical system. The pumps that squeezed fuel out through spring loaded fuel injectors were marvels of machining.

Mechanically Speaking
One company (Bosch) held almost all the patents. These mechanical systems soon succumbed to electronic controls. These electronic controls significantly reduced emissions and the diesel clatter from under the hood. More control over when and how much fuel was injected could seriously reduce noise and exhaust soot. By its nature the diesel engine produces very little carbon monoxide or unburned hydrocarbons. It does however produce high amounts of nitrous oxides. EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) has been and still is used to combat the nitrous oxides issue. Recent emission standards tightening (almost as tight as gasoline engines) has
forced the diesel engineers to make some serious headway on emissions of nitrous oxides and that sooty plume. Your most recent diesels now have what is known as common rail fuel injection. This allows even better control of the fuel injected into the engine. The injectors are now piezo devices in many cases. Google it for an explanation. The result is multiple precise fuel injections on each piston power stroke. Since fuel control is as precise as it can be with current technology the engineers have resorted to after treatments in the exhaust system to do that last bit of cleansing to keep the government happy. The aftertreatment comes in the form of diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and catalytic converters. DPFs are what you might think, a filter in your exhaust system that is prevented from clogging by burning itself clean every once and awhile (regeneration). These DPFs seriously reduce soot. Then, as in your car, there are catalytic converters. I have written about them
• Security Installation and Service • ULC Security Monitoring • Medical Alert Installation & Monitoring
before. Recent diesels have added a twist to them. Oxidation catalysts take care of excess CO and HC creating CO2 and H2O similar to the gasoline engine but then there is the reduction catalytic converter in charge of changing nitrous oxides to harmless nitrogen and water. Your new diesel truck is probably packing around a gas tank size load of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). This fluid is injected just ahead of the reduction catalyst. It contains 30 per cent urea and 70 per cent water. Upon injection to the hot exhaust stream it vaporizes to ammonia and carbon dioxide. Through the catalyst and out comes nitrogen and water. These extraneous emission control systems add even more complexity to the modern diesel. Your diesel mechanic is now as versed in complex electronics as any other mechanic.

CiB conference starts today By Liz Bevan Times Staff
Trail is blooming and gardeners, planters and city representatives are coming to town to celebrate a successful growing season, and maybe even take home a few awards. The provincial Communities in Bloom Awards and Conference starts today and runs for three days. The planning committee has been busy at work planning and putting together events, luncheons, tours and guest speakers. A large contingent of out-of-town delegates are expected for the event which will feature the “Look at us Now” Tour highlighting the achievements of the local CiB group. Mary Martin of the planning committee says the one event she is looking forward to the most is the White Night on Friday It will be held in Jubilee Park along the Esplanade and highlight the White Garden, which is a re-creation of the Sissinghurst Castle Garden in England. “I don’t know if there is anything that stands out, but I am really looking forward to showing the White Garden,” she said. “I am really looking forward to showcasing that to out-of-town people.” Martin added tents will be on standby should the weather not co-operate. Along with the White Night, organizers have put together tours of Teck, the Friday Market, the Beaver Valley and speakers explaining the work Trail has completed to transform from a ‘dusty

industrial town,’ to competing at an international level in CiB competitions. Martin hopes that visitors from other cities and towns across B.C. will recognize the changes Trail has made over the years. “We really hope to spread the word of how beautiful an area we have here,” she said. “We really want to showcase the community, the work that Communities in Bloom has done and the beauty of the area, for sure.” Hosting the provincial conference isn’t just about showing off the beauty of Trail, but also about promoting CiB. “I think our objective is to also enhance and promote the Communities in Bloom program,” said Martin. “What we would really like to see out of it is more communities joining. We also want to keep the interest and participation up and showcase the fun that is in it too.” Martin invites all attendees to stick around the area into Sunday, even though there are no conference events planned. “We would like people to hang around on Sunday,” she said. “The conference is over, but there is the Redstone Golf Course, sight seeing, going up to Rossland – just visit the whole area.” Tickets for the conference are still available and can be picked up at Trail City Hall or at Century 21. The final awards ceremony is the last event on the schedule for the three-day event and starts at 7:30 p.m. on Sept 13. To view a full event schedule, visit trail.ca.

Angry mob greets Clark at party

Music festival policing costs topped $250,000 By Joe Fries
Penticton Western News
Mounties are calling on Boonstock Music Festival organizers to reimburse the B.C. government for $250,000 in policing costs associated with the event. In a press release issued Wednesday morning, Penticton RCMP Supt. Kevin Hewco said the August long weekend bash generated 150 police files that saw 38 people lodged in city cells. Hewco couldn’t be reached for comment Wednesday and his voicemail message indicated he’s on leave until Sept. 15. He said in the release that although the festival policing cost was originally estimated at $200,000, it spiralled upwards when RCMP identified “gaps” in private security on site and increased its own staffing. “It is incumbent upon the promoter to reimburse the provincial government for these special

An angry mob of about 120 placard-waving teachers crashed Maple Ridge’s 140th birthday party. Premier Christy Clark arrived at the downtown arts theatre for the occasion of the historic anniversary and Maple Ridge officially becoming the province’s 50th city – setting aside its longtime “district designation.” The crowd was outside the glass-front building, but their jeers filled the room as the premier took the podium, with chants like “arb-itra-tion,” many boos and “Shame! Shame! Shame!” “What better way to mark 140 years of progress than having this become a city,” said Clark. She got a laugh when she referred to Maple Ridge as “a thriving – and very vocal – urban centre.”
event policing costs so that they do not become a burden to taxpayers,” said Hewco. Boonstock organizers could not be eached for comment. Hewco said officers exercised a “great deal of discretion” during the event as their role evolved from enforcement to public safety, and that concerns would have been heightened had the festival obtained a liquor licence. “The planning of any major event plays a significant role in its success and safety,” said Hewco. “From our view, I cannot label this event as a success, especially considering the fact that a young woman died.” The 23-year-old Alberta woman who died from a suspected drug overdose was one of 90 people transferred from the site to Penticton Regional Hospital for treatment, according to figures previously released by Interior Health.

After her speech and extending congratulations, Clark took questions, and they were all about the teachers strike. Asked about today’s B.C. Teachers Federation vote to enter binding arbitration, she reconfirmed that the government is not interested. “My answer to that is this: binding arbitration, because it takes the decisions out of the hands of the people who are elected to make those decisions, is ultimately going to lead to higher taxes.” She speculated that binding arbitration could lead to a five cents per litre gas tax. Clark said she still believes that the government can get a negotiated deal with teachers.

University tuitions continue to rise THE CANADIAN PRESS Students will need deeper pockets to study at Canadian universities over the next four years with annual fees projected to rise 13 per cent on average to $7,755, having almost tripled over the past 20 years, according to a new report. Students in Ontario can expect to shell out $9,483 on average in tuition and other compulsory fees in 2017-18. Fees in the province have nearly quadrupled over the last two decades, said the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. The high cost of getting a degree is an “enormous financial stress” for students and their families, said Erika Shaker, director of the left-leaning think-tank’s education project. “All the evidence both in Canada and the U.S. does indicate that financial stressors on students are even more pronounced than stressing about academic performance,” she said. But if high-school graduates don’t like the idea of subsisting on a diet of Kraft Dinner and ramen noodles, they may want to head to Newfoundland and Labrador, which is getting top marks for its low fees that are projected to reach $2,888 in 2017-18. They’ve increased by 35 per cent over two decades. Provincial funding for universities is inadequate, the report said. Universities are seeing it decline as a share of their operating revenue, while tuition fees are going up. The funding gap is driving universities to download more costs on students by charging additional compulsory fees on top of tuition that are subject to few, if any, restrictions, the report said. Those fees - such as athletic fees and student association fees - amounted to $817 on average last year, with Alberta having the highest and Newfoundland the lowest. “Universities are having to get a little bit more creative about how they’re increasing their revenues and taking them out of students,” said Shaker. “What we are seeing are some institutions actually implement new fees entirely: fees to graduate, for example, or facilities fees.” It makes it very difficult for students to predict how much they’ll have to pay in the coming year, said Jessica McCormick, national chairwoman of the Canadian Federation of Students. “It also means that it’s difficult for students to save up to cover the cost of tuition fees,” she said.

CRTC Commission hearings
New regulations must serve all parties THE CANADIAN PRESS GATINEAU, Que. Consumers will get less and pay more, and jobs will be lost, under proposals being debated this week to modernize television program delivery, the country’s broadcast regulator has been told. A throng of frustrated media executives warned Wednesday of dire times ahead for the country’s TV world as the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission held a third day of hearings on how people get and pay for TV programming. Outside of the hearing room, a political debate was brewing, with federal New Democrats accusing the Harper Conservatives of interfering in the hearing process. That came after the
Ontario government suggested Tuesday that online video services such as Netflix be regulated - effectively forcing them to contribute to the country’s television production system. The suggestion, which has also been floated by the Quebec government, the CBC and cultural groups, prompted Heritage Minister Shelly Glover to state that the federal government wouldn’t stand for it. “We will not allow any moves to impose new regulations and taxes on Internet video that would create a Netflix and YouTube Tax,” Glover said in a statement. The NDP responded to the minister’s statement on Wednesday, accusing her of meddling with an arm’slength organization. “It is extremely inappro-
priate for the Conservatives to play partisan politics with these hearings,” said NDP Heritage critic Pierre Nantel. “The CRTC is an independent body and must be allowed to come to its own conclusions.” While Bell Media executives said that they need a level playing field with their competitors, specifically mentioning Netflix, they appeared far more focused on changing regulations to make it easier to stay profitable while protecting Canadian cultural content. The CRTC has proposed new regulations that would, if enacted, bar TV stations from replacing U.S. advertising with Canadian spots on American shows. The regulator has also proposed that consumers be allowed to pick the individ-
ual channels they want from cable and satellite service providers, over and above a price-capped, trimmeddown mandatory service that includes mainly local channels. It has also opened the door to allowing TV stations to shut down transmitters, which would mean the end of free, over-the-air broadcasting of television signals. All of that would do more harm than good, Bell Media president Kevin Crull told the hearing. “Merely shutting down transmitters would actually make a dire situation even worse,” said Crull. Even if the CRTC accepted all of its proposals for reforming TV regulations, BCE may still have to shutter between seven and nine specialty channels, he added.
Calgary mayor shocked at damage from summer snowfall THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY Commuters needed hours to get to work, snow-laden tree branches groaned and snapped and thousands of people were without power Wednesday after a second major taste of winter hit Calgary with 10 days to go before summer’s end. Trees were uprooted and roads clogged with broken branches. The power outages, which at one point affected up to 30,000 homes and businesses, also caused traffic lights to go out. “We are going to see some real damage
and that is an extraordinary shame,” said Mayor Naheed Nenshi, who spoke at the city’s emergency operations centre. “I know how hard generations of people in this community have worked to build the tree canopy, but right now our focus is to make sure those fallen ones don’t hurt people and don’t cause further damage.” The amount of damage has not been assessed, he said, but he warned the cleanup wasn’t going to happen overnight. “We don’t have a sense of it yet, but
certainly, depending on the part of the city you’re in ... I was shocked at the damage,” he said. “Out in the bald prairie, where I live in northeast Calgary, there was a little less damage. But this isn’t something that will be cleaned up by the next garbage pickup.” The wet and weighty snowfall prompted the city to open its emergency operations centre for the first time since last year’s heavy flooding. Pedestrians were bundled up in winter parkas and toques and tried to avoid being

Prairie weather and the seasons. So we’ll get winter for a couple of days and then back to summer.” The heavy snowfall warning ended Wednesday afternoon. Sunshine was expected to return today with temperatures returning to the mid-20s C by early next week.

The growing role of women in the workforce
T
he growing role of women in the workforce arguably qualifies as the most consequential socioeconomic development of the past 50 years. As more women have entered the formal labour market, the productive capacity of our economy has been augmented. Indeed, increased “labour input” – more people working – has been the principal factor pushing up gross domestic product (GDP) and household incomes in Canada. And women account for a large majority of this increase in “labour input.” A study done last year by the economics team at RBC estimated that the rise in female labour force participation since the early 1980s has boosted Canada’s GDP by more than $130 billion. Women today comprise approximately 48 per cent of the labour force, up slightly from 46 per cent in 1999 but significantly higher than their 37 per cent share back in the mid1970s. Men are still more likely to be employed, but the male/female labour force participation gap has
narrowed over time. On current projections, more than half of all the jobs in Canada will soon be held by women. Among women aged 15 and over, approximately six in 10 were employed in 2013; in 1976, the comparable figure was just 42 per cent. The predominant demographic trend of population aging that is starting to weigh on overall labour force participation is affecting both genders, so the proportion of all women holding jobs will edge lower as the country becomes greyer. But women’s contributions to Canada’s workforce and its economy should continue to grow over the next 10 to 20 years. Where do women work? Statistics Canada’s 2011 National Household Survey reports that they are most likely to be employed in three broad occupational clusters: sales and service occupations (27.1 per cent), business, finance and administration (24.6 per cent) and education, law, and government/community services (16.8 per cent). But despite gains in educational achievement,
JOCK
FINLAYSON Troy Media
many working women hold relatively low-paying jobs. This exerts downward pressure on average compensation for female job-holders collectively; it also explains the residual male/female difference in average pay. A significant number of the 20 most common jobs for women fall in bottom third of all occupations ranked by hourly pay. There is still work to be done to ensure that women are better represented in the top half of occupations measured by total compensation. The impressive advances that women are making on the education front bode well for their career and income prospects going forward. Since the early 1990s, women have made up a majority of college
and university students. By 2012, a higher percentage of women aged 25 to 44 (75 per cent) than of men in the same age category (65 per cent) had completed a post-secondary education. This contrasts with the situation for older age cohorts: among Canadians aged 65 and over, 35 per cent of women and 46 per cent of men have a postsecondary credential. The trend of rising female educational attainment is by now well-established. In both Canada and the U.S., women represent increasing shares of current university/college students and also of recent graduates in disciplines that often pave the way to relatively high-paying jobs – including law, medicine, dentistry, architecture, business and finance. They have registered smaller gains in engineering and computer-related fields, but here too women are making inroads. A large body of data shows that girls generally out-perform boys in elementary and secondary school, and this seems to be carrying over to the university and college level. In the language
of economics, women are building up their “human capital” at a faster pace than men. There are some areas of education and training where women still lag. One glaring example is the skilled trades. These are among the occupations that offer pathways to good jobs and the kind of middle-class standard of living that now seems to be out of reach for most young adults lacking any type of post-secondary qualification. According to Statistics Canada, women make up just 3 to 7 per cent of enrolments in registered apprenticeship training programs in the construction, electrical, industrial/ mechanical, metal fabricating and motor vehicle and heavy equipment trades. That’s not good enough. Employers, educators and unions need to do more to encourage young women to consider skilled trades occupations and to create a supportive environment for those who choose to follow this route. Jock Finlayson is Executive Vice President of the Business Council of British Columbia.

Letters to the editor
Teachers fighting for education Do teachers want to strike? No! Do teachers like to strike? No! We were forced to strike. The children of British Columbia, are not and should never be a commodity. Education is not and should never be a business. To have an educated, prosperous society you must invest in all of society’s children. Public school evens the playing field and allows opportunity for all children to succeed and is not dependent on their family’s socioeconomic status. When the government takes tax dollars and supports the already privileged part of society in private schools, they put at risk the chance for many BC children to reach their potential. Money that should be earmarked for all children has been steadily eroding away and filtered into private schools little by little each year. Teachers in BC public schools already subsidize so much that many parents believe it is the norm. Buying food for students, paying for field trips and classroom supplies are only some of the cost items teachers pay for year in and year out. We do this because when our students can’t afford things, we as teachers, know they can’t afford to miss out. Volunteering extra time for coaching sports, hosting clubs, fund raising and field trips that happen outside school hours are other items that often go unnoticed and time is not compensated. Non teaching duties
that are required and take up teachers time, such as money collections for PAC sponsored activities and field trips, collecting forms, district committee meetings, organizing special events and helping students with life are just some of what makes up our day outside the contact teaching time. We all need to think hard about how we want to treat and support children so that they can reach their potential. Inclusion is about giving every child a rich opportunity with their peers and it must be supported by having numbers and composition of classes that support learning for all the learners in that class. It is teachers, fighting for these families that often cannot fight for themselves. Public education should not be for sale, this year or ever. In a previous contract, teachers gained the legally contracted right to have smaller classes and had a say in how many at risk students make up that class. Because of this, learning conditions for all students improved. When the Liberal government passed a bill after that contract they in fact tore up the signed contract, which took away those learning conditions. Teachers gave up a wage increase back then to gain that language and now this same Liberal government wants teachers to back down? No. No way, not after the courts deemed that contract legal and binding, not once but twice.
We deserve to have that legally bargained language that supports learners, which gives ALL children a chance. Teachers will stand strong with the BC Court decisions against a bullying government. Thank you to all the public who honks for us, gives us a wave, stand on the line with us and every other act of kindness you have shown. It really does matter. We appreciate those of you who understand why this is our only avenue of action. We will continue to support those of you who support us. So while we wait for the third court decision about class size and composition, that is being funded for by your tax dollars, from the BC Supreme Court, we will continue to look for that support from the public, because all children matter. That’s why we care so much. Public pressure at every level of government is what now has to take place. If you value the fundamental right of public education for everyone, please call your school trustees, your MLA, the Minister of Education and the Premier of this province (before she leaves for Asia) and let them know that education for the children of BC should be funded adequately and that court decisions should matter. Remember we, the taxpayers of BC, are paying for all those appeals by the government. Kim & Rick McKinnon Rossland
Flavoured tobacco ban needed: report
THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The Canadian Cancer Society says a new national survey points to the need to ban flavoured tobacco products. The survey says that nine per cent of teens reported using a flavoured tobacco product in the 30 days before the survey was taken. That equates to half of the high school students who used tobacco products in the month before the survey was taken, or 137,000 students. Federal legislation bans flavours - except menthol - from being added to cigarettes and cigarillos that weigh less than 1.4 grams.
But the cancer society says manufacturers get around that by making cigarillos that weigh more than 1.4 grams. As well, water pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco and snuff are made in flavours such as chocolate, mint, cherry and strawberry - in other words, flavours that are appealing to young people. “The society is very concerned that fruit- and candyflavoured tobacco make it easier for youth to become addicted to tobacco. New legislation is needed as soon as possible to ban all flavoured tobacco products,” says Rob Cunningham, senior policy analyst. There are currently no
provincial laws banning flavoured tobacco. Alberta adopted legislation in December 2013 that would ban flavoured tobacco, including menthol, but it has not yet been proclaimed into law. Ontario and Manitoba have announced they will bring forward legislation and several others - including Quebec and Nova Scotia - have said they are considering the issue. The data were drawn from the 2012/13 Youth Smoking Survey conducted by the Propel Centre for Population Health Impact at the University of Waterloo. The survey is conducted every two years.

Jazz musician worked with biggest names THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES Gerald Wilson, the dynamic jazz big band leader, composer and arranger whose career spanned more than 75 years, has died. He was 96. Wilson’s son, jazz guitarist Anthony Wilson, said his father died Monday at his Los Angeles home from pneumonia. The big band leader began his career in the late 1930s as a trumpeter for Jimmy Lunceford’s band before forming his own big band in 1944 featuring female trombonist Melba Liston. He played and worked as a composer-arranger with the likes of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Carter and Dizzy Gillespie, and he arranged music for Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae and Bobby Darin. Wilson, who was born in Shelby, Mississippi, and later moved with his family to Detroit, started out on piano and bought his first trumpet at age 11. During his tenure as a trumpeter with

Lunceford, he arranged the hit tunes “Hi Spook” and “Yard Dog Mazurka.” After four years with Lunceford and a stint in the U.S. Navy during World War II, Wilson settled in Los Angeles, where he worked in the bands of Benny Carter, Les Hite and Phil Moore before forming his own band. He worked with Billie Holiday on the singer’s tour of the South in 1949. Wilson led his own bands in the ‘50s and ‘60s, but took frequent hiatuses as he became one of the most in demand arrangers and orchestrators in jazz and pop music. He wrote more than 60 charts for Charles, scored motion pictures such as Otto Preminger’s “Anatomy of a Murder,” and served as the conductor and music director of TV’s “The Red Foxx Show.” But despite his commercial success, he never gave up his dedication to jazz. “I decided to do what I wanted to do, and what I wanted to do was jazz. Because first and foremost, I’m a jazz musician,” Wilson said. GRAHAM JOYCE
Cancer claims fantasy writer THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON - Graham Joyce, one of Britain’s best known fantasy writers, has died from complications of lymphoma cancer, an ilness he had blogged about extensively. He was 59. Joyce died Tuesday afternoon in a hospital near his home in Leicester, a city north of London. Several of his novels received the British Fantasy Award, including “Indigo,” “The Tooth Fair” and “Some Kind of Fairy Tale,” which won last year. He also won an O. Henry Prize for short fiction and the World Fantasy Award for ”The Facts of Life.”

Kootenay Robusters wrap up season
SUBMITTED The Kootenay Robusters Dragonboat Team successfully ended their competitive season with a third place finish in Women’s Platinum B final in Penticton on Sunday. This year’s festival consisted of 73 teams from as far north as Prince George and as far west as Edmonton. The highly competitive women’s division had 40 teams. The races were divided into the competitive levels of: Jade, Gold, Diamond and Platinum being the highest level. The Kootenay Robusters won their two Saturday qualifying heats to place them in the Platinum division. Sunday morning semi-final race placed them behind the top 4 teams and into the Platinum B division. Unfortunately, the final race had to be cancelled due to high winds so the third place finish was awarded strictly on times from the semi-final race. Also on Sunday was the Breast Cancer Survivor Cup Challenge
race, open only to crews of survivors. Fourteen Kootenay Robusters combined with seven paddlers from four other teams, including the Nelson Kootenay Rhythm Dragons, and was proud to place fourth out of field of nine teams. The Survivor race was followed by the traditional Carnation Ceremony held after each Survivor race to honour all those who have died of breast cancer and to encourage all those fighting this terrible disease. The introduction to the ceremony followed by the waving of hundreds of pink carnations in time to Garth Brooks’ song, “The River” is an emotional experience few ever forget. The Kootenay Robusters, with members from Castlegar, Christina Lake, Grand Forks, Rossland and Trail, train throughout the summer on Christina Lake. The team, of both survivor and associate paddlers, always welcome new members. Visit www.kootenayrobusters.org for more information.

Seth Martin played just one year in the NHL with the St. Louis Blues alongside another goaltending legend Glenn Hall (left). Martin (middle) shows a Times reporter his hardware prior to his induction into the IIHF Hall of Fame in 1997. His incomparable hockey career spanned decades, much of it in the WIHL with the Trail Smoke Eaters, and international competition with Team Canada.
but it went beyond a simple sport to many people. He still got letters from fans around the world, decades after he competed, and he took the time to answer each one and include a picture of the mural on the Trail Memorial Centre. It came as no surprise really that during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, I was invited to sit down with Seth and his beloved Bev while they hosted a father and son from Sweden. If there was one thing the man from Sweden wanted to do while in Canada it was to come to Trail and introduce his son to the ‘greatest goaltender in the world.” It was a father-son moment, a fan moment and a gracioushost moment all rolled into one. Imagine any other sport where you could travel halfway around the world, sit at the home of a legendary talent and simply enjoy coffee and pose for a group picture. Just try showing up at Michael Jordan’s house and see what happens. One of my first awestruck moments regarding Seth’s hockey legacy came during the Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League All Star Game banquet held in Trail in the early ‘90s. I was just getting my feet wet at the Trail Times and I had a chance to interview one of hockey’s all time greats, Glenn Hall, who was one of the guest speakers that night and played with Seth during the expansion year of the St. Louis Blues.
As a child of the Original Six NHL, I knew I was talking to one of the game’s legends when I met Hall, but all he wanted to do was tell me what a great goaltender Seth Martin was. Seth, in his usual manner, chuckled and deflected the praise right back to Hall and they rallied compliments back and forth like two tennis players. I was caught in the middle like a fan at Wimbledon. Fast forward about 10 years and a band of retired NHL stars were at the Cominco Arena playing against a local group of players. The coach for the NHL squad was another Hall of Fame goaltender, Johnny Bower. Prior to the start of the game, I stood outside the dressing room while players such as Mark Napier and Tiger Williams walked by and Bobby Hull signed autographs. I tried to ask Bower about his collection of stars but all he wanted to know was if Seth Martin was in the rink. I never had the pleasure of watching Seth in action but I certainly had the pleasure of knowing him. And that’s where he still shined. Here was a man feted around the world, a charter member of the International Hockey Hall of Fame, he reached the Stanley Cup final and there was a 40-foot mural on the side of the rink with his picture on the pinnacle of it, but he still took time to ask me about my daughter, my job,
f r ost y’s liquor store daily 9am - 11pm
my thoughts on anything from hockey to hamburgers. Perhaps because I never had to interview him after a tough loss or in the midst of a losing streak, I never saw anything but a soft side to Seth. He was humble to a fault. He had no swagger to tell you this man was one of the best in the world at what he did. He preferred to talk about you rather than himself and always had a hardy laugh at my weakest jokes. When I left the role as sports editor at the Times and moved into the editor’s chair, I was full of trepidation that I perhaps bit off more than I could chew. But I had a lot of well wishers and a handful of congratulatory cards. Bev and Seth penned one I still have in my office. It was a small token but one I never forgot and still cherish. Oddly enough the ink from the note in that card faded in a few years but I can still decipher who wrote it and what they meant. That might well sum up Seth Martin. His achievements may have been years ago but his impact remains. I am honoured to call Seth Martin more than just a hockey star from the Kootenays. He was also a good person and a friend. His smiling face will be missed by many. There will be a memorial for Seth Martin on Saturday at the Cominco Gym beginning at 2 p.m.

McIlroy shooting for big finish
Cats pounce on Hawks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA - Rory McIlroy always thought his big year deserved a big finish. The Tour Championship is his last chance. McIlroy already has won a pair of majors - the British Open and PGA Championship - sandwiched around a World Golf Championship. He is back to No. 1 in the world and is assured of being there for at least the next two months. He already has wrapped up another PGA Tour money title. About the only item McIlroy doesn’t have is the FedEx Cup. “After I finished the PGA, all my focus was on the FedEx Cup and trying to win this,” McIlroy said Wednesday. The trophy - not to mention the $10 million Jim Bailey photo bonus - is up for grabs this week at East Lake. Beaver Valley Nitehawks forward Spencer McLean looks to make a play in a McIlroy didn’t come close to winning the previKIJHL exhibition game against the Creston Valley ThunderCats on Tuesday in Fruitvale. The Cats beat the Hawks 2-1 to round out B.V.’s exhibition play.

Five of the seven FedEx Cup champions - including the last four - have all won the Tour Championship. The good news for McIlroy? It might be the easiest tournament for him to win all year. “I only have to beat 28 other guys,” he said. The 29-man field at East Lake is the smallest for the Tour Championship since the FedEx Cup began in 2007.

Cups and seven IIHF world championships, winning a gold medal for Finland in 1995. The Canadiens, the Ducks and even rival clubs like the Ottawa Senators sent out tweets congratulating Koivu on his career. But his NHL figures are modest considering what he may have produced had his career not been marred by a succession of knee injuries, his 2001-02 bout with non-Hodgkins lymphoma and a horrific eye injury in 2006 that left him with restricted peripheral vision.

grasp of the situation. Her mother is a hypocrite. The lesson she needs to learn is forgiveness. People can make poor choices and create a great deal of damage and heartache through selfishness. They are human, and they make mistakes. Rachel doesn’t need to condone her mother’s behavior to understand the power of forgiveness. Please help her get there. Dear Annie: I think public service announcements warning smokers of the risk of larynx cancer are good. If they make people stop smoking, they can save lives. But it would be nice if they
letter from “Little Brother,” the 13-yearold fatherless boy who thought he was in love with his older brother. My dad died when I was 5, and my 17-yearold brother immediately stepped into the role of a surrogate father. He was loving, kind and affectionate and helped me navigate through my childhood and teenage years. When I was 12, I thought I had fallen in love with him. I even had dreams of being intimate. These thoughts scared and confused me. I told my brother how I felt, and just like everything in my life, he helped me sort through my feelings and explained that they were a combination of the love we felt for each other and the effects of puberty. I remember him telling me that my thoughts would change as I matured. He was right. Your advice was spot on, but I would have told “Little Brother”
to talk directly to his brother. He sounds so much like mine. I am now 32 and married with two sons. My brother is still my hero and the first person I turn to for help and advice. He has never let me down. He was the best “Dad” anyone
could have asked for. -Tim Dear Tim: Your brother was uncommonly mature. You are fortunate that he continues to advise you with kindness and wisdom. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy

mentioned at the end that smoking is not the only cause of larynx cancer. I have never used tobacco in any form, but I ended up with larynx cancer anyway and breathe through a hole in my neck. When out in public, I have been told by strangers, “It’s self-destructive idiots like you who make our health insurance so expensive” and “I see you got what you deserved,” etc., etc. At first I tried to explain, but I was called a liar. So now I just ignore them and keep walking. Any other suggestions? -- Tom from Florida Dear Tom: You are handling these obnoxiously rude people well by walking away. Unless you want to pass out flyers explaining the various causes of larynx cancer, there’s not much more you can do. Their self-righteous attitude does not allow for compassion.

Dear Annie: My granddaughter “Rachel” is 14. Her parents raised her to attend church regularly. In the past year, however, they quit going to church and got divorced. My daughter was seeing a married man who left his wife and children and moved in with my daughter. What a mess. Rachel asked me, “How can Mom be such a hypocrite? She taught me that sex is for a married couple, and without marriage, it’s wrong. She tells me to not have sex with anyone till I am married. Why should I wait?” It breaks my heart to see my daughter setting such a bad example for her children. What can I say? I take Rachel and her sister with me to church because they want to go. All I can do at this point is pray for the two broken marriages and broken families. -- Heartbroken Granny Dear Granny: Rachel seems to have a decent

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Friday, Sept. 12, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You are interested in business matters today, especially money, cash flow and banking. You see ways to improve your job or your standing in the community. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today the Moon is in your sign, dancing nicely with other planets. This empowers you and makes all your dealings with others diplomatic and effective. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Work behind the scenes today to get the most for your efforts. You might help someone at home or, vice versa, they might help you. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Discussions with a female friend or acquaintance will be powerful today, but they will also be pleasant. Discuss future plans to get the input of others.
Thursday, September 11, 2014 Trail Times
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Personal details about your private life are made public today, but in a positive way. Others might see how effective you are at getting the beautiful things that you own. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Make plans for a pleasure trip! Fortunately, there might be more than one approach to doing this. Some of you will develop an attraction for someone from another country or a different culture. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a good day to discuss shared property and details related to insurance matters, inheritances, taxes and debt. Someone behind the scenes will help you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with others today because the Moon is opposite your
sign. But things will go well for you, because it’s an easygoing day. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This can be a productive day at work, in part because someone in a position of power will help you or endorse your ideas. You might see ways to cut costs and introduce improvements. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
This is a good day for a vacation or anything that helps you get away from it all. Enjoy sports events, the theater, a matinee or playful times with children. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Family discussions, especially with a female relative, will be positive today. Don’t be afraid to ask for financial or practical support, because it could be forthcoming.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You will do well writing, selling, marketing, teaching and acting today. You feel confident in your style of communicating because you know you have something positive to offer. YOU BORN TODAY You are interested in words, their use and their origin.

Musicians needed Submitted photo
Trail’s 18-piece Glenn Miller-style bigband is very much in need of a drummer and a piano player in order to be able to perform for the upcoming season. The band is very popular and well known for their ballroom-style dances held four times yearly at the KP Hall. The band is primarily made up of amateurs, so there are no expectations that potential new members be pros. Since it is necessary for a band of this size to always perform from written music, it is important that all potential members, like our present members, be able to read music well and be willing to attend the band’s rehearsals from late September to mid May. Interested persons wanting further information are asked to call Clark White at 250367-6115.
