School district returns strike savings to province Ministry of Education reclaims over $1 million from Kootenay-Columbia

BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

School District 20 (SD20) has given the Ministry of Education just over $1 million of the $1.3 million it saved when teachers were on the picket lines at the end of the last school year.

Back in June, school boards across the province were told to return 80 per cent of the money saved during strike days in the 2013-2014 school year – a topic on the agenda at Monday's SD20 board meeting. A large part of the meeting included a presentation of the 20132014 school year budget audit and showed significant savings because of the strike action.

“We have our teacher savings from May and June and we had to send 80 per cent of it back to the ministry,” said Natalie Verigin, secretary-treasurer of the board, adding that $260,000 in teacher savings shown in their budget, represented the 20 per cent of strike savings the board was allowed to keep. “Also, because of the strike, we had no replacements that were needed because we had no staff to replace. The unspent portion of that

NATIONAL SENIORS DAY

of the replacement budget was just over $115,000.”

Teacher salaries and replacement costs weren't the only places the board saved dollars.

After paying back the Ministry of Education, the school district saved, and gets to keep, over $600,000 from last May and June, but a large chunk is being set aside in case it needs to get paid out in the future.

“Of that $600,000, we have $250,000 set aside because we may have to end up paying it out,” said Verigin. “That money is saved up from not having to pay CUPE wages during the strike. That money may be flowed back out to the CUPE depending on whether we locally ratify our contract with them by the end of November. It is set aside as a $250,000 contingent liability.”

For the days missed in the 20142015 school year because of the strike, school boards are being asked to return 100 per cent of savings from September. In a letter dated Sept. 12 from the Ministry of Education, all school districts were asked to give back teachers' wages, benefits, replacement costs, utility and facility money along with transportation, professional development, travel and supply costs saved during the 13 strike days in September.

DeRosa ending 27-year run on Trail council

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

There's some big shoes to fill when long time Coun. Gord DeRosa retires from politics later this year.

The 27-year city councillor told the Trail Times Tuesday morning that he is honoured and appreciative that citizens have put their trust in him for so many years but

it's time to move onto other city activities more on the “artsy” side of things.

“I will continue with promoting the importance and wellness of our river,” he said.

“Beyond that, Columbia Basin Trust will get my full attention but that still leaves room for involving See THREE, Page 3

With this column, I wish to dispel point counting. It is tricks that make contracts not points. People also have the misconception that if an opponent opens one No Trump, they should only seek a partscore not a game.

This example shows where not only a game is possible but also a slam is cold.

ner is a passed hand. If partner has not bid, he could have 18 points and raise 1NT to 6NT, missing two aces since warren 18 plus 14 is a point watson shy of 33. However, Play Bridge West’s hand contains an adequate potential of tricks for a One No Trump opening.

This example illustrates the importance of having a bidding defense against One No Trump. Opponents try to open One No Trump as much as possible, even when others think they should not.

North and South are using a defensive system called Meckwell (after two current famous bridge players, Jeff Meckstroth and Eric Rodwell). It is also called modified DONT (Disturbing Opponent’s No Trump). A double shows either a long minor or both majors.

Partner has to bid Two Clubs, which will be passed or corrected to Diamonds.

If the bid of Two Clubs is corrected to Two Hearts then both majors are being shown.

South jumps to Three Hearts showing both majors and a big hand. North bids Five Hearts asking partner to bid six with two out of the three top Heart honours. South complies with this small

slam force.

The Lead: The King of Diamonds is a natural lead.

The play: South draws trump and can afford to lose one Spade but not two. He cashes the Ace of Spades, sees the Jack fall and then plays a little spade, thus making his contract.

Result: Six hearts by South making for +1430.

Three mayor’s chairs up for grabs FROM PAGE 1 myself in other civic attractions.”

With the nomination period for the Nov. 15 civic election now open until Oct. 10, the area’s municipalities have all handed out the necessary paperwork to potential candidates, although only a few have officially stepped forward and formalized their intent to run.

Familiar faces and one new newcomer are included in the 17 nomination packages the City of Trail has dispersed to date.

So far, first time nominee Lisa Pasin has joined the municipal council race.

She will run alongside the five returning Trail councillors, Robert Cacchioni, Kevin Jolly, Sean Mackinlay, Eleanor Gattafoni-Robinson and Rick Georgetti.

And with three “worships” confirming their retirement this year, the mayoral race could heat up in the next 45 days.

Earlier this year, Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs announced he was ready to retire after 27 years in the political arena, and so far two candidates have stepped forward to vye for the main role.

Mike Martin, a long time resident and former general manager from Teck Trail Operations, is seeking the position and hopes to lead the city through its revitalization and other strategic initiatives with a focus on enhancing growth, vitality and pride.

Former Local 480 president, Doug Jones, is also in the running because he is passionate about the area and community and following last year’s retirement, he now has the time to take on the demand of the mayor’s

Trail councillor Gord DeRosa was recognized by the Columbia Basin Trust for his dedication in 2011. The long-time councillor won’t be seeking re-election this year but will continue his work with the CBT. job.

Further up the hill, Warfield Mayor Bert Crockett is looking forward to hanging up his political hat to take time to enjoy retirement full time alongside his wife, children and grandchildren.

By press time there was no word back if the village’s current council is ready for another go, but Warfield’s Chief Election Officer (CEO) Allana Ferro said that often, potential candidates don’t step forward until later in the fall, but 10 nomination packages had been distributed to interested residents.

Rossland Mayor Greg Granstrom confirmed with the Trail Times Monday that he will be seeking a third term in the Golden City.

Besides Granstrom filing his paperwork Tuesday, Rossland

city hall hadn’t received any further nomination packages.

He adds to the list of two other local mayors who are also seeking another term.

Montrose Mayor Joe Danchuk is ready to tackle the position for four more years as is Fruitvale Mayor Patricia Cecchini – both are currently finishing their first term.

News of possible council candidates in either Beaver Valley community is still quiet, though Fruitvale Coun. Tabatha Webber confirmed she will seek a seat for a second time.

Three-term Salmo mayor Ann Henderson, confirmed Tuesday morning that she will not be running in the Nov. 15 civic election.

There’s no official word

if the village’s four-member council will seek another term, but after 27 nomination packages were picked up from the municipal office, Salmo could see an interesting race to fill all five seats.

Locally in the regional district, Area A Director Ali Grieve has confirmed she will seek another term as will Linda Worley, director for Area B. Theresa Lenardon, CEO for the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary noted that by noon Tuesday, one nomination package had been distributed to Area A and two to Area B. Candidates sometimes wait until the very last moment to file papers, (4 p.m. Oct. 10) Lenardon said, adding that the RDKB may get more packages between now and then in all electoral areas.

After legislative changes were completed a few months ago, elected local government officials will now serve a four-year term instead of three.

This includes positions on councils, regional district electoral area directors and local school trustees.

During the Monday night’s School District 20 meeting at the Kootenay Columbia Learning Centre, trustees representing the City of Trail, Lorraine Manning and Mark Wilson, confirmed they will seek another term. Trail resident Terry Hanik is also running for a seat of the board.

Other current trustees ready to commit to another four years are Rossland’s Gord Smith; Toni Driutti representing Warfield, and parts of Area B and Area J; Kim Mandoli and SD20 board chair Darrel Ganzert, both representing Fruitvale, Montrose and Area A.

Board has bigger surplus from last year FROM PAGE 1 The financial statements presented at the board meeting didn’t just cover the savings from the strike, but the budget for the entire 2013-2014 school year.

The total surplus from the year amounted to $2.7 million, a number Verigin says is higher than the board is used to seeing.

“Total revenues received were $35 million with total expenses at $33 million leaving an operating surplus of $1.87 million,” she said.

“From that we deduct our capital expenditures, so we end up with an operating surplus of $1.3 million. Added to the surplus that we had prior, we have accumulated a surplus of $2.7 million. That is a large number and more than the board has had over the last few years.”

Part of the reason for the large surplus, according to Verigin, are portions of money coming into the school board’s accounts, but weren’t designated to a certain purpose in its annual budget.

“In the 2013-2014 year, we had added revenues that didn’t make it into our budget and wasn’t allocated to any budget line item,” she said. “Some of this is a result of the release of the holdback fund from the Ministry of Education. We don’t ever account for our money in that budget because we don’t know if the ministry will be releasing holdback monies. It is always a surprise. There have been years where the ministry has no holdback money left over after it had done allocation funding to other districts.”

Along with holdback money, the board renegotiated rates with its banker to allow for higher interest rates and included carryforward money in its announced surplus.

“Every budget year, we allocate supply money to all of the schools depending on how many students are in that school,” said Verigin. “So, a school might get $200,000 a year and they have to run their school with that. If they choose to buy some iPads, they can set aside some money every year until they have enough money in reserves that they can make the purchase. If we had a budget mentality of, ‘here is your money and if you don’t spend it all, we are going to take it back.’ We feel that they would be spending it for the sake of spending it.”

Jumbo municipality nearing October compliance deadline

By Carolyn Grant Kimberley Bulletin

What’s next in the Jumbo saga?

The Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) delegates passed a resolution stating they were not in favour of the provincial government funding municipalities with no population. The resolution was introduced by Invermere Mayor Gerry Taft and aimed at the Jumbo Resort Municipality.

While many wait for a government reaction to that, they are also waiting for Oct. 12 to see what the Environmental Assessment Office will say about Jumbo’s certificate of compliance.

The certificate expires on Oct. 12 if a substantial start on project construction has not begun. The certificate (with many conditions) was first issued in 2004, and renewed for a further five years in 2009.

Unless the government amends its legislation, it cannot be renewed again.”

The Environmental Assessment Office is currently conducting an audit to see if the proponent is in compliance.

“We strongly believe they are not in compliance,” Duncan said.

At issue will be what a substantial start means.

Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald also said that he felt there was ample proof that the proponent hadn’t lived up to the terms of the 10-year certificate.

But if they are trying to claim they have made a substantial start, I don’t think so.”

Provincial

Province pledges e-cigarette control

By Jeff Nagel BC Local News

Health Minister Terry Lake says the province is prepared to regulate electronic cigarettes so their sale is governed by the same provincial restrictions as tobacco smoking.

He was responding to a resolution adopted Friday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention urging government action.

The growing trend of “vaping” with e-cigarettes instead of smoking has raised questions over product safety and concerns that years of anti-smoking gains could unravel if nicotine addiction rebounds.

Lake said he’d prefer the federal government regulate the battery-powered vaporizers instead, but added the province will act within a year if Ottawa does not.

The goal, he said, would be to ensure e-cigarettes face most of the same bans or restrictions that apply on regular ones

“I am concerned whether they actually help people to stop smoking or prolong people’s use.”

Helena Swinkels

under B.C.’s Tobacco Control Act, particularly the ban on sale of tobacco to minors and the rules on advertising and display.

Lake wouldn’t yet say if the provincial ban on smoking in public buildings and workplaces, or within three metres of their doors and open windows, would also apply to vaping, but he noted cities can also pass their own bylaws to restrict use of e-cigarettes.

Provincial law also bans smoking on all school grounds and in vehicles carrying youth under 16.

The City of

Vancouver is considering extending its smoking bylaw to e-cigarettes and adding the word “vaporizing” to its no-smoking signs.

Lake is expected to continue to press for a national solution this week at a conference of provincial health ministers and federal officials.

Fraser Health Authority medical health officer Helena Swinkels supports strong regulation by both the province and municipalities.

“I am very concerned about e-cigarettes and their uptake among youth,” she said. “I am concerned whether they actually help people to stop smoking or prolong people’s use.”

The B.C. Healthy Living Alliance argues the use of e-cigarettes to defy public smoking bans undermines a key deterrent to tobacco use.

Swinkels agreed the potential “social renormalization” of the act of smoking is a concern in part

because users can vape in places where they’re banned from smoking.

She said the jury is out as to whether e-cigarettes are effective and safe smoking cessation aids, noting they are regulated as consumer products and have not undergone the approval process required for a medication.

“There’s some evidence that people using these may end up smoking more,” Swinkels said. “There’s little oversight of what goes into them and we know some of the ingredients are respiratory irritants.”

Nicotine isn’t authorized for sale in the flavoured “juice” for e-cigs, but it is readily available.

Fire season was third highest

THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - An overheated forest fire season in British Columbia resulted in a near-record loss of timber - the third highest total since 1950 when the government started keeping track.

Chief provincial fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said Monday 1,424 fires consumed more than 3,590 square kilometres of forest this season.

Skrepnek said an intense provincewide hot weather spell in July, where temperatures soared to 40 C in some areas, dried out forests and contributed to extreme fire conditions that lasted much of the summer.

“When you look at the statistics in terms of the number of fires we’re had, we’ve had a little over 1,400 - 1,424 - that’s actually below average in terms of the number of fires,” he said.

“So, what we saw this year was a below average number of fires, but in terms of the area burned, quite above normal.”

The largest fire of the year

occurred near the Chelaslie River near Burns Lake, consuming 1,330 square kilometres. It’s still burning, but 75 per cent contained.

“We had a pretty steady season - nothing spectacular - until the second week in July, and then we had an unseasonably high system come in and add really hot temperatures, record-breaking temperatures,” said Skrepnek. “We had a high-pressure system that stretched into the Yukon. That was what set the season off.”

Skrepnek said cooler temperatures and rain showers this week are expected to signal the conclusion of the core fire season.

The top two B.C. fire seasons were recorded in 1958 when fires burned 8,590 square kilometres and in 1961 when 4,830 square kilometres of forest land was burned.

Skrepnek says the provincial government has spent more than $293 million fighting fires this year, but the government allocated just $63 million in its budget to cover fire costs.

Victoria

Seven people rescued from sinking ship THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - Two adults and five young children had to be rescued on Monday night off the B.C. coast when their fishing vessel began sinking.

The Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Victoria says the rescue took place in the Georgia Strait off Galiano island about two miles from shore.

Acting Sub. Lt. Ron MacDougall said a call came in at about 8 p.m. PT that a 30-foot gillnet fishing vessel was sinking.

MacDougall said the adults and children were found clinging to the vessel and did not suffer any major injur-

ies. ”The patients exhibited mild to moderate hypothermia,” he said. ”They were in very cold water for almost a half-hour.”

MacDougall could not say if the seven people were wearing life-jackets.

He said a Coast Guard hovercraft was

the first of several vessels to head to the scene and its crew carried out the rescue.

Two B.C. Ferries, the Spirit of Vancouver Island and the Queen of Cowichan, as well as two Coast Guard vessels and a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter were also at the scene to assist in the rescue if

needed.

MacDougall could not say what caused the vessel to begin to sink, but noted the ship was in an area with rapids and may have been swamped.

He said the seven people were met on shore by B.C. Ambulance crews.

Surrey

Offender monitoring to be reviewed

By Jeff Nagel BC Local News

B.C. Attorney General Suzanne Anton says she is in discussions with federal Justice Minister Peter McKay on potential ways to tighten monitoring of released high-risk criminals in the wake of the murder of Surrey teen Serena Vermeersch.

Expanded use of electronic monitoring “is something that probably should be considered,” Anton told reporters last week after the arrest of convicted rapist Raymond Lee Caissie.

Now charged with seconddegree murder, the 43-year-old Caissie was released from prison into Surrey last year after serving a 22-year sentence for a violent sexual assault and robbery in Abbotsford in 1991.

The Parole Board repeatedly refused to grant him early release, citing a high risk to reoffend and seriously harm or kill someone.

“He was identified publicly as being a violent sexual offender,” Anton said, noting Caissie has been under police surveillance since his release.

“Everybody who was involved took this case and this person very seriously. Whether or not there are more things that could be put in place – that’s a question I’ve raised

with the federal minister.”

Asked if the province adequately funds its Integrated Sexual Predator Observation Team, Anton responded: “They are resourced.

They don’t watch the person 100 per cent of the time. Could they watch them more? Again, I think that is a question that can be considered in this case.”

Anton called it a terrible tragedy.

“We expect that our daughters should be able to be safe when they’re waiting for a bus,” she said.

“Serena Vermeersch was not safe that day. We owe it to her and to her family to do what we can to put into place things that keep our community safe.”

Premier Christy Clark on Friday said the province wants “a tougher set of rules for high-risk offenders who are a real danger in our communities.”

She said expanded electronic monitoring may offer “a second line of defence” but the focus must be on keeping high-risk offenders out of communities in the first place.

Clark said she also awaits recommendations from AbbotsfordSouth MLA and former University of the Fraser Valley criminologist Darryl Plecas, who is leading a committee on crime reduction.

Notice of passing

CHARLES FIPKE

Diamond pioneer pledges millions to study Alzheimer’s KELOWNA CAPITAL NEWS The University of British Columbia’s quest to understand and treat Alzheimer’s disease is being bolstered intellectually and technologically thanks to three gifts from Charles Fipke, whose geological discoveries made Canada one of the leading producers of diamonds.

Fipke has given $3 million to endow a professorship dedicated to Alzheimer’s research, and has pledged $600,000 to outfit the professor’s lab with cutting-edge equipment at the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health, a partnership between the UBC Faculty of Medicine and Vancouver Coastal Health. He has also committed $5.5 million to support the purchase of the most novel and coveted brain imaging technology.

Fipke, from Kelowna, was moved to make the gifts by the plight of his longtime friend, Bill Bennett, the former Premier of British Columbia, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. His son Brad expressed the Bennett

family’s gratitude at a ceremony today honouring Fipke’s philanthropy to UBC. “Our family is incredibly grateful to Chuck Fipke for this generous donation to Alzheimer’s research and we are very moved by his reasons for doing it,” Brad Bennett said.

“The end game has to be to find a cure for this. We still don’t know what causes this disease and there are far too many people afflicted with it and far too many families like ours suffering the horrible consequences. They say with Alzheimer’s

patients you say goodbye twice, the first of those being the most difficult because you’re saying goodbye to the person you knew and loved while they are still alive.”

UBC President Dr. Arvind Gupta said Fipke is putting UBC at the global forefront of Alzheimer’s research.

“Investing in the most creative, dedicated and determined scientists, and putting the most sophisticated technology at their fingertips is the surest means to making breakthroughs against this disease,” Gupta said.

I’m feeling

“I was stunned to learn about Bill Bennett’s illness – yet another great mind stricken by Alzheimer’s,” Fipke said. “I want to do anything I can to help UBC’s researchers find a cure.”

A UBC alumnus, Fipke had previously given $8.7 million to the University, mostly for buildings and

equipment at UBC’s Okanagan campus.

These gifts contribute to UBC’s start an evolution campaign, the most ambitious fundraising and alumni engagement campaign in Canadian history, with the twin goal of raising $1.5 billion and involving 50,000 alumni annually in the life of the university by 2015.

Task Force on aging needs to address inequality

N

obody wants unearned inequality between older and younger Canadians. I don’t. My mom doesn’t. Nor does my grandmother. Problem is, this inequality is on the rise.

A new study by the Conference Board of Canada reports that Canadians age 50 to 54 earn 64 per cent more today than do 25 to 29 year olds. In the mid80s, the age gap in earnings was only 47 per cent.

The BMO group published a study in July showing that the typical senior now enjoys nearly nine times more wealth than the typical 25 to 34 year old. In the early 1980s, the wealth gap was only four times.

In August, RBC released a study concluding that the near-doubling in housing prices over the last decades has generated much more wealth for Canadians age 55+, while leaving those age 35 to 44 especially burdened with debt, and most vulnerable to interest rate hikes and drops in housing prices.

A recent Maclean’s magazine cover story summarized these trends, stating: “We’re treating seniors

like they are financially frail. In fact they’re the most prosperous generation.”

Sadly, my research as a professor at the University of British Columbia and Founder of the Generation Squeeze campaign shows that governments are largely ignoring the deteriorating economic circumstances facing younger Canadians.

Provincial and federal governments combine to spend between $38,000 and $45,000 per Canadian age 65 and older, compared to approximately $12,000 per person under 45. As the population ages, maintaining these spending levels per senior is no small task, yet provincial governments representing all parties, as well as the federal government, found billions of new dollars in 2014 to pursue this goal. At the same time, they generally claim that public coffers are too bare to do much more than tinker around the edges for Canadians in their mid-40s and under (including children) who are squeezed by lower incomes, higher housing costs, less time and a deteriorating environment.

PAUL

KERSHAW Troy Media

Given this context, you might excuse me for being underwhelmed when the Premiers recently agreed at the Council of the Federation to establish a new national Task Force on Aging. What the Premiers didn’t mention is that we’ve been talking about and adapting to Canada’s aging population for decades. That’s a major reason why we spend around $50 billion more annually on medical care today than we would have had we maintained spending levels from 1976. And it’s also why we spend around $30 billion more each year on the Canada/Quebec Public Pension Plan and Old Age Security.

So if we need a new Task Force on Aging, let it focus on what has been much less

considered in political circles: “Generational Equity and Aging.” The new Task Force would be useful if it asks: Have Canadians found the right balance in adapting policy to the contemporary realities of old and young alike? How do we finance policy adaptations that reduce the squeeze on younger generations while simultaneously adapting to the needs of an aging population?

Although hopeful, I’m not confident these questions about generational equity will become the Task Force’s primary focus.

Younger generations influence politics less than our parents and grandparents.

Not only because we vote less, but also because we’re less organized in between elections when political parties design platforms, and refine government priorities.

By contrast, the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) has lobbied for decades on behalf of people like my grandmother and retired mom.

Generation Squeeze speaks up for those of us who are younger, growing the clout of younger gener-

ations in both the marketplace and politics.

In the market, we will urge employers and unions to revisit what they can do to reduce the age-related inequalities in salaries and benefit packages to which they are contributing, as illuminated by the Conference Board study.

We’ll also pursue price reductions on products and services that matter to younger Canadians much like there are seniors’ discounts.

In the world of politics, we are mobilizing to encourage all political parties to commit to a better generational deal, one that safeguards retirement income subsidies and medical care for our parents and grandparents – but not at the expense of adapting to challenges like the erosion of income, rising housing prices, and environmental degradation that disproportionately affect their kids and grandchildren. That’s how we will make Canada work once again for all generations.

Dr. Paul Kershaw is the Founder of Generation Squeeze, and a policy professor in the UBC School of Population Health.

LETTERS & OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Proposed library/museum building should have more imagination The artist rendering for the new library building brings several issues to consider to the forefront. When I look at the proposed library, I feel very dissatisfied and have a hard time to understand where the vision is that will showcase the community’s cultural ancestry and geography that express the uniqueness of Trail as a destination.

At the market they have the artist rendering conceptual drawing on display with a flip note that says, it may not necessarily look like this; but I’m sure that it will not vary much from the actual drawings that they do have which I personally find very unimaginative.

Reading through the plan that was just made in 2012 there are lots of references toward herit-

age and our heritage consisted of a lot of visionary people that had to depend upon themselves to do great things.

We know that other communities throughout Canada have built libraries that encompass many things that define who they are as a community.

Now I think it’s time that we build a building that is environmentally friendly aesthetically pleasing for everyone to enjoy.

We have such a great environment that we could put a green roof on top, we could collect all the rainwater for watering, have windows that collect light from all angles, we also have the river that could possibly be used for power and watering purposes.

This is our chance to build a building that could be abso-

lutely beautiful made of wood, with a great design that would represent Downtown Trail with pride. I would love to urge all of you to look at Calgary’s new library or Courtenay’s on Vancouver Island has a beautiful small library.

Libraries seem to be the one building in a community that really say who we are. When I think of our Italian heritage and geography, you know it’s time to stop and go back to the drawing board and get it right the first time.

The artist rendition is giving us a great opportunity to look at increasing culturally and environmentally sound practices and develop a new model in our downtown.

My wife and I had the opportunity to visit Trail on the weekend of Sept. 27 to watch two Smoke Eaters junior hockey games.

And what a great weekend it was.

Good hockey with young men giving it their all. Parents

on the hockey team going out of their way to make us feel welcome.

Seeing the excellent billeting situation arranged for our grandson.

And in addition we thoroughly enjoyed our strolls around town and especially the

riverfront walk with its lovely gardens.

And in closing, many thanks for our good time and it is obvious the Smokies are on the right track and Trail is a centre that its citizens can be proud of.

Sharon & Gordon McLeod Edmonton Alberta

Remind me why Trail needs another bridge I clipped and kept a photo that was in last Wednesday’s issue of the Trail Times (Sept. 24): it was of children walking across the Victoria Street bridge.

Being of a bright sort, I noticed that they didn’t have to swim or build a raft to cross the river.

And I wondered if any one could remind me: why do we need to spend a few million dollars to build another bridge? It certainly can’t be to help us get from one side of the river to the other we’re obviously quite able to do that now.

PERFECT PITCH

Tough weekend for midget teams

BY TIMES STAFF The Major Midget Kootenay Ice dropped its opening set of games to the Greater Vancouver Canadians in Richmond on the weekend, getting shut out 3-0 on Saturday before dropping another threegoal game 5-2 on Sunday.

The Ice battled back from a 3-0 deficit in Game-2, with Luke Madge of Castlegar netting the first goal on the power play with an assist from Shawn Campbell at 15:39 of the second period.

The Ice would capitalize on another power-play opportunity when the Canadians’ Ante Mustapic was sent off for hooking. This time Castlegar’s Garret Patterson scored for the ice on an unassisted effort to bring the Kootenay team to within one. However, Greater Vancouver’s Sami Pharaon would restore the two-goal lead before the period was out and Ryan Wilkinson would make it a 5-2 final at15:46 of the third period. The Ice went 2-for-5 on the PP while Greater Van wast 2-for-8.

In the Kootenay Ice’s first game, after a scoreless first period Kyle Uy would score what proved to be the winning goal at 13:31 of the second beating Ice goalie Jason Mailhiot of Trail to give the Canadians the 1-0 lead. Uy notched his second of the night at 14:23 of the third period on 1-of-9 Canadian power plays, and is the MML leading scorer with four goals and seven assists in four games.

Samuel Atkins rounded out the scoring with just under five minutes to play. The Ice went 0-for-5 on the power play with Solomon Burk taking the loss in net.

The Midget Ice next face the Thompson Blazers in a two-game tilt in Kamloops this weekend.

Meanwhile, the Female Midget AAA Wildcats also went winless in three games against the reigning FMAAA champion Fraser Valley Phantom, dropping 2-0 and 5-0 decisions on Saturday, and a close 3-1 loss on Sunday. The Wildcats will look for their first win of the season when they travel to Prince George to play three games on the weekend against the 4-2 Northern Cougars.

Kiwanis Beaver Creek Park hosted its first soccer match since dedicated efforts of supporters, led

by John Foglia, began almost eight years ago to reshape the rough field into a useable pitch.

Above: Foglia (right) refereed the first game alongside Ron Joseph (left) as Rossland footballers (below) faced Creston in a mini three-team tournament on a sunny Saturday. Foglia hopes more groups use the now immaculate field, not only for soccer, but also concerts, group picnics, and other events.

SKIING

Whitewater seeks Freeriders THE NELSON STAR The Whitewater Freeride ski team is open for early registration, and looking for skiers age 10-18 ready to hit the slopes.

Snow-school director Brent Malysh started the young team five years ago and watched the club grow from 12 to 51 members in four years.

“I recognized that there was really nothing

for kids who wanted to get into the sport,” said Malysh. “Five years ago freeride events were really fringe. Kids were going to these events as they were popping up but they didn’t have any coaching.”

Being more of a traditional free stylist with moguls and big air, Malysh had to search for freeride coaches. He found Dano Slater and Peter Velisek,

both former professional skiers who had competed in big mountain freeride competitions in the late ’90s and early 2000s.

“They have a passion for the sport,” Malysh said. “There are only a few handful of clubs like this in most of North America and five teams in B.C. We’re a small percentage compared to regular ski racing.”

Sports Ryder cup

Europe’s captain ‘left no stone unturned’

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. ANDREWS - Eight years ago as the Ryder Cup qualifying was ending, 10 of the top 20 players in the U.S. standings were either in the same group or in a group with captain Tom Lehman. It looked as if it was rigged, though the PGA Tour promised it was done by computer and merely a coincidence.

“The computer doesn’t know the difference between the Ryder Cup and a coffee cup,” top rules official Slugger White said then.

That isn’t the case in Europe.

Because the European Tour is so vested in the Ryder Cup, captain Paul McGinley was given control over the tee times for the opening rounds at tournaments. Graeme McDowell and Victor Dubuisson playing together in the French Open was no accident.

McGinley wanted them for foursomes at Gleneagles, and they wound up winning both their matches.

“I was able to get Victor and Graeme on the same page,” he said. “I controlled the draws on the European Tour during the summer, and every time Graeme came to play in Europe, he played with Victor. They didn’t know what I was planning, but I had planned that they would be partners.”

Why put together a Frenchman who barely speaks and a Northern Irishman who never stops talking?

McGinley saw a need for McDowell to be the

leader of a team match. McDowell suggested as much himself in explaining why the dynamic of him and good friend Rory McIlroy had changed as McIlroy emerged as the best in the world.

“It’s very, very difficult to be that senior partner,” McGinley said.

He mentioned the role Seve Ballesteros played in a match he won with David Gilford, and he believes that Nicolas Colsaerts was able to thrive at Medinah because he had Lee Westwood on his side. He had hoped for Ian Poulter to be that senior partner with Stephen Gallacher, but Gallacher was added to the team so late that he couldn’t prepare Poulter for the task.

McDowell was the last European to qualify, though McGinley had told McDowell after the PGA Championship he would be on the team one way or another.

“I knew that his wife was about to have the baby,” McGinley said. “I wanted him to enjoy that experience and not feel the pressure if just missed out on the team.”

Maybe that’s what McIlroy meant when he said that the European captain “left no stone unturned.”

It should be noted that McDowell and Dubuisson played together in one other European Tour-sanctioned event this year, and McGinley had nothing to do with it. That was the Match Play Championship, where Dubuisson beat him on the 18th hole in Arizona to reach the semifinals.

bc lions

Lulay looks to return late season THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - B.C. Lions quarterback Travis Lulay has elected to forgo surgery and will continue to rehabilitate his right throwing shoulder as he aims for a lateseason return to the lineup.

Lulay suffered a shoulder dislocation in

a Sept. 5 game against Ottawa and was later placed on the club’s six-game injured list.

“I have considered all options with our team doctors, physiotherapists and training staff and at this point, I am very encouraged with my rehabilitation to date,” Lulay said Tuesday in a release.

Ready to Freeride FROM PAGE 8 The team has a competitive and development level.

Skiers in the competitive group are 10 to 18 years old and attend various events in B.C. and Alberta.

Once the ski hill opens, the team trains one day per week on snow, and up to three days during a competition week.

The development team is for skiers eight and up looking to get into the sport.

“We keep them in

“Having been in this position last year, I am cautiously optimistic that I can return to action before the end of the regular season.”

Lulay dislocated the same shoulder a year ago but returned to action in the final week of the regular season.

He was the Lions’ starting quarterback in the Western semifinal.

Following the 2013 season, Lulay elected

to have surgery to increase the stability of the shoulder. The latest dislocation put him on a similar rehabilitation timetable.

“We believe Travis will be able to return to action in coming weeks,” said general manager Wally Buono.

“At this time, he is set to come off the injured list with two regularseason games remaining on our schedule.”

Taking literacy to the streets in the Home of Champions TRAIL – Community leaders and volunteers will join Black Press and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy on October 9th & 10th to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and to celebrate the power literacy has in Trail and Area.

The 4th Annual Reach a Reader campaign will raise funds for Trail and Area’s community-based literacy programs.

Why? Literacy is important to all British Columbians!

It impacts every aspect of our lives: healthcare, crime rates, employment and economic status.

Despite its essential role in life, at least 40 per cent of B.C. adults have difficulty reading a newspaper, filling out a work application, reading a map, or understanding a lease – and this percentage is increasing.

“The Reach a Reader campaign reminds people that literacy skills are important if we are to succeed in today’s world,” says Sonia Tavares, Trail and Area Community Literacy Coordinator.

“When we hear the word literacy many of us think ‘you can read or you can’t read.’ Of course, literacy is about reading and writing, but it is also about the ability to express our ideas,

think critically, and use technology.

“Literacy is wide and all-encompassing. Literacy is having the skills you need, to do what you want to do in your life.”

In Trail and Area funds raised will help support the Adult iPad/tablet Drop-in.

This free program has been a huge success with adults in the community.

Many of the adults who have attended the program have had

their iPads or tablets set up by someone else.

The drop-in has allowed them to learn how to add applications, download games, add contacts and use calendars as well as take a few photos!

The program will run in the afternoons at the CBAL office in downtown Trail starting in mid-October.

One program participant said “I feel more confident, and

Consider taking custody of neglected niece Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

to take her daughter away.

I’m getting tired of this. We love this child.

Can the mother really take her away? I hate that she is using my inlaws and blackmailing them this way. I think she is using drugs, but I’m not sure because she’s rarely around.

I want to call Child Protective Services, but my in-laws say absolutely not. What should I do? -- Concerned Daughter-in-Law Dear Concerned: Would your in-laws (or you) petition for custody of this child?

When Child Protective Services investigates (reporting can be done anonymously) and finds

can then have a reasonably interactive conversation.

I have been the listener on a few occasions and realize that some folks can’t help themselves. They must talk continuously, giving no thought to whether or not their conversation is interesting to anyone else.

Distracting them away from the group makes the evening tolerable. -- A Designated Listener Dear Listener: We like the idea of a designated listener, the way someone is a designated driver. As long as you alternate positions and everyone is agreeable when it comes to taking a turn, this is an effective and kind way to include those who need to be at such gatherings but can make the events difficult to endure.

Dear Annie: In response to “Wedding Jitters,” I have another reason to get a prenuptial agreement for

those marrying later in life. Greedy heirs.

My brother’s mother-in-law remarried in her 60s. Soon after, she became incapacitated with a brain tumor, and her spouse suffered severe health issues and entered a nursing home. His

children immediately started demanding things, claiming that she had “abandoned” him. All the lawyer did was shrug and tell them to hope that she died first, but she didn’t. His son and daughter were given half of all their assets,

including those she had clearly kept separate from the joint holdings. My sister-inlaw had to give them a car and remortgage the house. Their lawyer said domestic disputes of this type are a hopeless nightmare.

cause to remove the child from the home, the best placement is often with other relatives. This could turn out to be you. We cannot promise that the mother won’t run off with the girl, although she seems more likely to run off alone. Please discuss this possibility with your husband and his parents. We hope they are willing to take the necessary steps to ensure this child’s future.

Dear Annie: Here is an idea for those who have been bothered by people who “over contribute” or dominate the conversation.

When we know there will be such a person at a get-together, we appoint one person to be the designated listener. This person directs the talkative person away from the group and focuses intently on him or her, listening attentively and encouraging them to continue talking.

Dear Annie: I love my in-laws to pieces, but it bothers me that they are too nice. No one who lives in their household pays for anything.

When my husband and I lived with them, we always helped out, but now that we’ve moved on, my in-laws are having a hard time paying the bills. But they won’t ask any of their kids to fork over.

My brother-in-law’s girlfriend lives in the house, and they have a daughter together.

Right now, my brotherin-law is in jail, and the mother barely cares for her daughter. Either my in-laws do it, or my husband and I take over her care. The girlfriend often leaves the house with no notice, sometimes in the middle of the night, and never bothers to feed her little girl. She has no job and has two kids by other fathers whom she also doesn’t take care of. When we criticize this, she threatens

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Thursday, Oct. 2, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Ex-partners will be back in your life at some point this month. Consider this an opportunity for closure or clarity (or none of the above).

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Grin and bear it, because your efficiency will suffer at work this month. Expect delays, cancellations and confused communication.

It’s a good time to finish old projects.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your ruler, Mercury, is stirring up problems for the month of October. Many of you will run into old flames and past situations related to sports, the arts and children.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Family reunions are likely this month, because for some reason, you will be in contact with relatives you

Wednesday, October 1, 2014 Trail Times

have not seen for a long time. Stock the fridge.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

Expect transportation delays this month. Missed buses and trains, as well as breakdowns for trucks, automobiles and bikes, are par for the course. Good luck!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a bad month to open a new business or initiate anything related to earnings, money and cash flow.

However, it’s a good time to finish previous financial projects.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Brace yourself for a month of silly errors and mixed-up communication, as well as all kinds of people popping up from your past. It’s Old Home Week again.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Different situations might provoke a lot of thought on your part; you’re wonder-

ing about what you really want and what you really have. The disparity between those two affects your happiness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Friends from the past will be back in your life this month. This might help you to look at your future goals with a new eye.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Many of you will encoun-

ter parents, bosses, teachers and authority figures whom you have not seen for a while. This might be your chance to put your cards on the table.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel plans might be delayed or rescheduled this month. However, this will be an excellent time to finish old school projects or important papers or even a book. Yay!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Although this month is a poor time to initiate things, it’s a great time to finish anything, especially disputes about inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property. Go to it!

YOU BORN TODAY You are candid, clever and sometimes blunt with your words. However, you get away with a lot because you are so charming and witty!
