Area crews respond to industrial fire
TOUGH NUT TO CRACK
BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
Fire crews were called to the scene of an industrial fire early Wednesday morning. Retriev Technologies, formerly known as Toxco Waste Management, was the site of what, at first glance, appeared to be a sizeable structure fire. Once the smoke cleared and Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue was able to visually examine the rubble, the fire appeared to have originated from cardboard boxes that were stored under a metal roofed awning. “We received quite a few calls from people who were driving by because flames of an outside storage area were visible from the highway,” explained Terry Martin, regional fire chief. “It looked like a structure was on fire. But once we started knocking down the flames, we realized it was a roof and stacked cardboard boxes that caught on fire, and other storage boxes that were in close proximity. That's where the flames were from.” Steven Robinson, Retriev Technologies operations manager, told the Trail Times “a small fire originated in the post-production storage area,” Although the cause of the fire remains under investigation, Robinson added, “there was no release that would adversely affect either the environment, our neighbours or our employees.” Firefighters from Warfield, Trail and Montrose responded to the early morning call out, and stayed at the site for about three hours. Martin maintains that following previous fire-related incidents at the plant, which is located in Area A of the regional district, Retriev Technologies has worked with the fire department to improve fire safety and safety aspects at the job site. “We followed our operational guidelines and See NO, Page 3

Early district enrolment numbers down slightly; Grade 9 gone from RSS BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff
One year after students in grades 10 to 12 were transferred to J.L Crowe Secondary School from Rossland, Grade 9 students from Rossland Summit School have joined them. Numbers for student enrolment in School District 20 (SD20) were released for the 2014-2015 school year at Monday's school
board meeting in Trail, showing the enrolment numbers were zero for Grade 9 at RSS. Bill Ford, assistant superintendent for SD20, says all of the students who would be going into Grade 9 this year at RSS have been transferred to Crowe, giving the high school 23 more students, but still less than the board predicted last year. “Twenty-three Grade 9s left
and as a result, RSS has no Grade 9s enrolled this year,” he said, adding that the curriculum won't change for the remaining students. “The same curriculum will still be delivered (to Grade 8 students). We staffed the school so they could run a middle school program with electives. Currently, on the books, RSS is a (kindergarten) to Grade 9 school, they just aren't enrolling Grade
9s.” Transferring the Grade 9 students to Crowe was a multi-step process, making sure the students are successful in their new school. “One of the criteria that happens with a transfer request is that we make sure there is room,” said Ford. “With secondary school transfer requests, not only do we make sure there
is room, but we make sure the school can provide a meaningful program for the child. Once that work is taken care of, then the transfer is approved.” Monday's school board meeting also saw a report on the current student enrolment numbers across the entire district. According to SD20 superintendent, Greg Luterbach, because of See NUMBERS, Page 2

FROM PAGE 1 the teachers’ strike, the numbers are still not concrete. “Normally, by the end of September, we are all revved up and getting ready to finalize our numbers,” he said. “But, as we all know, this year is not a typical year, so these numbers are from after three days of school. They are still pretty green.” Currently, the school board has enrolled 60 students less than what was predicted based on numbers from the 2013-2014 school year. Luterbach says the lower enrolment numbers won’t affect any board funding. “Given the fact that we are in funding protection, if we have less students than we predicted, we won’t get less money from the ministry,” he said. “We are in that state of funding protection where we already get a minimum amount of funding, so if we don’t reach our targets, we don’t lose funding and we won’t cut staff.” As of Sept. 25, SD20 has 3,543 students enrolled in the traditional “brick and mortar” schools, according to Luterbach, with the Kootenay Columbia Learning Centre (KCLC) enrolling 139 students in alternate education programs this year. “We knew that we were going to down some already,” he said. “But things like adults (at KCLC) will get factored in over the next couple weeks.” The board has to submit their enrolment numbers to the Ministry of Education later than the usual Sept. 30 deadline, as in other school years. Luterbach says a more solid enrolment number will be submitted to the government by Oct. 24, with an official head count on ‘snapshot day’ on Oct. 17. To see the full enrolment and student transfer reports, visit www.sd20.bc.ca. The next regular board meeting for SD20 is on Oct. 27 at 7 p.m. at Stanley Humphries Secondary School in Castlegar.

Webster parents plan for new playground By Sheri Regnier Times Staff
Soccer is a popular sport at Webster Elementary. After watching students use coats, shoes and hats to mark out goal posts before kicking around a ball at recess and lunch, parents on the school's advisory council (PAC) jumped into action. The Webster PAC recently received almost $22,000 from Columbia Basin Trust's (CBT) Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Program and $2,000 of the grant bought the youngsters some new soccer nets. By next year, the students could see even more soccer goals when the majority of the money, $18,300 is sunk into modern playground re-design slated for completion by the fall. “We are just in the beginning stage of fundraising for the new intermediate playground structure,” explained Rachel Jansen, Webster PAC chair. “Without funding from CBT, we would be stretching our fundraising dollars thin
Sheri Regnier photo
Webster PAC received a sizeable grant from Columbia Basin Trust this year that, in part, will be directed toward re-designing the school's play area (above) to make way for a modern play structure (artist’s rendering below)
to make these opportunities available to the students and families at Webster.” The new play area is an ambitious and
expensive project that includes removing the school’s current worse-for-wear play structure, relocating the new playhouse,
installing more soccer nets, and replacing the pea gravel surface with a recycled rubber tile system. Webster PAC is
actively working towards its $100,000 fundraising goal, to complete all the work and purchase the new new playground set up for ages 5-12 called a Fusion. The play system has a unique look and accommodates a large number of activities in a smaller space. Webster's current play structure is in a state of disrepair so the project was given priority, Jansen noted, adding that it is too small to accommodate the number of intermediate students enrolled at the school. Another new gym activity introduces an old Canadian sport to students of all ages.
Webster PAC allotted $1,200 from the CBT money to purchase indoor curling sets after students and parents were presented with a “Rocks to Rings” program that supports curling as a national sport. “PAC and the kids thought it would be a great addition to the school during PE classes or to set up in the gym during recess when it is too cold to be outside,” said Jansen. “The curling sets are easy enough to set up and all grades are able to use. We also thought it might be a good introduction to a sport that kids may not have experience with otherwise.” An additional $1,000 from the CBT grant was earmarked for the school's annual ski program for students in grades 4-7. “Some of our students are unable to afford this experience without financial support,” Jansen explained. “Last year it was 13, so the CBT funding will help PAC support these students take part in the experience and help cover the bussing expenses.”
No injuries reported FROM PAGE 1 were fortunate to have so many people in town who could respond,” Martin said. “All calls are treated the same because it’s all about protection of people, the surrounding neighbours and our guys.” No injuries were reported, or structural damage to the company’s main building. Activities at the recycling facility resumed normal operations by 10:30 a.m. “The safety and well-being of our employees, contractors and neighbours is a top priority,” Robinson added. “We are committed to take whatever corrective actions are necessary to help mitigate the risk of similar incidents in the future.” R e t r i e v Technologies operates a lithium battery recycling facility that began as the Toxco plant in 1992.

Provincial
Emissions control and LNG tax coming: minister THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - The issue of a liquefied natural gas tax is set to heat up debate during British Columbia’s fall legislative session, but the potentially controversial issue of emissions controls on LNG are also part of the package. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the Liberal government plans to introduce two separate pieces of legislation focusing on LNG - covering taxes and emissions reporting. De Jong said the tax legislation will be tabled within the
next two weeks and the emissions reporting bill is due in late October. British Columbia’s politicians return to the legislature Monday for the legislative session scheduled to last until Nov. 27. De Jong said the primary focus of the session will be the introduction and debate of the proposed LNG laws, of which a template of a proposed two-tier tax was introduced in last February’s budget. Premier Christy Clark bills the development of an LNG export industry as having
the potential to generate a trillion-dollar economic opportunity that could create up to 100,000 jobs. She promised to devote royalties from the industry to create a prosperity fund that would fuel projects and wipe out the province’s debt, currently at more than $60 billion. There are more than a dozen LNG projects in the proposal stages in B.C., but the companies have yet to make their final decisions on investment. Several major companies, including Malaysian energy giant

Petronas, which is part of a multi-billion-dollar LNG proposal near Prince Rupert, have said they need to see the government’s taxation plan. Clark met with Petronas chief executive officer Shamsul Abbas on Tuesday, with officials describing the meeting as “cordial.” “These are sizable investments with a lot at stake for the citizens of B.C., and the proponents and we want to get it right,” de Jong said in an interview. He would not discuss actual tax numbers, saying that will come within weeks. But de Jong said much of the negotiations have been around finding a figure that is good for the industry and one that provides benefits to the province. “There’s certainly been discussion around the overall cost structure,” he said. “We want to be competitive as a jurisdiction so these proponents are able to make these sizable investments.
We’re also mindful of who owns the resource that lies at the heart of this process. That’s the citizens of B.C. They deserve a fair return as well.” De Jong said there have been ongoing consultations between the government and the industry about the proposed legislative package. He said public comments by some industry officials that they are concerned with the amount of tax the government is seeking have not harmed the behind-the-scenes negotiations. De Jong said calls by industry for tax relief are expected. “If you ask a proponent what level of taxation they would like to pay, the most honest among them would say zero,” de Jong said. “Folks are going to advocate in the best interests of the organization they represent. The organization we represent is the taxpayers of British Columbia.” De Jong said that

an emissions-reporting scheme would also be legislated, but he refused to elaborate. The Environment Ministry said in a statement that the “government is working to ensure any LNG facilities built in B.C. are the cleanest in the world. The province plans to bring legislation forward in the fall to make this a reality.” In July, Clark told an international conference at Whistler that selling LNG from B.C. to China will reduce greenhouse gas pollution worldwide because it will lessen China’s dependence on coal as an energy source. She said she remains committed to meeting B.C.’s legislated greenhouse gas reduction targets to one-third less emissions by 2020. Environmental groups say plans to allow the proposed LNG plants to run on natural gas rather than electricity will increase greenhouse gas emissions at home.

Group hopes to revive ski hill By Joe Fries
Penticton Western News
A new ownership group is “within days” of announcing its plan to resurrect Mount Baldy for the upcoming ski season, according to the head of the company tasked with selling off assets of the hill’s former operator. “We’re very close and we recognize that some of the (other) mountains have earlybird passes, so this is really for the skiers who want to ski Baldy to tell them we’re very close,” said Gary Powroznik, managing director of G-Force Group, whose company publicized the pending deal this week. “We’re expecting an announcement within days,” he continued. “And we recognize that people are kind of watching and wondering what’s happening, and I want people to know that we’re working really hard to make this happen.” Mount Baldy, with two chair lifts serving 35 runs, is about 35 kilometres east of Oliver.

Confusion over ridings
THE CANADIAN PRESS FREDERICTON - Elections New Brunswick says 14 people voted in the wrong ridings in last week’s provincial election, 11 of whom where allowed to later cast ballots in the correct ridings. A spokesman for the elections agency says the mistakes were the result of confusion over new riding boundaries. Paul Harpelle says in one case, a first-time voter who lives in the riding of Fredericton York Briefs cast her ballot in the neighbouring riding of Fredericton-Grand Lake after polling staff didn’t check her address. Kris Austin, the leader of the People’s Alliance of New Brunswick, lost in Fredericton-Grand Lake by 26 votes and has been granted a judicial recount set for Friday. Harpelle also says five people in the Saint John area and another eight in the Moncton area were given incorrect voter information cards directing them to the wrong ridings during advance polls. He says Elections New Brunswick is confident that there are no other people who voted in the wrong ridings. The number of ridings in the election was reduced to 49 from 55, resulting in new boundaries that in some cases divided streets in half.

Ontario
Torch relay across Canada THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The torch relay for the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games will be a national event, with stops in five Canadian cities as well as more than 100 Ontario communities. Organizers say the torch will be carried by 3,000 people during its 41-day journey to the Games, and Canadians aged 13 and up can enter for a chance to be one of them. Stops are planned in Calgary, Winnipeg, Montreal, Halifax and the Greater Vancouver Area, as well as 130 communities “in all corners of Ontario.” The relay will begin on May 30 in Toronto and end back in the city on July 10 for the lighting of the cauldron at the end of the opening ceremony downtown.
Benefit changes coming to placate angry veterans THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The Harper government plans further changes to its oft-maligned veterans charter, hoping to take the political sting out of complaints by ex-soldiers promising to campaign against them in the next election. Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino tabled the government’s response to a House of Commons committee review, which earlier this year recommended 14 specific changes to the support and benefits regime. The department plans immediate revisions that don’t require spending or parliamentary approvals, to be followed by changes requiring new money and coordination with other departments.
It remains unclear how much of the second phase will make it into next spring’s federal budget, the last before a federal election scheduled for October 2015. The Commons committee complained, among other things, that the pain and suffering awards given to severely injured soldiers don’t match what the courts or provincial compensation systems provide. The government says it is studying how to address the problem, but a source with knowledge of the file said Wednesday that a onetime $70,000 top-up payment could be added to whatever lump sum is given. The source was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and so spoke only on condition of anonym-
ity. Other fiscal issues, such as ensuring badly wounded soldiers receive financial benefits for life and the disparity in support between regular and reserve soldiers, will require “further due diligence,” the government response said. More symbolically, there will be a rewrite to the preamble of the veterans charter to explicitly spell out Canada’s obligation to its veterans - a politically toxic issue that’s at the heart of a lawsuit by veterans of the war in Afghanistan. In their statement of defence, government lawyers argued the country has no special obligation to its servicemen and women and that the current government can’t be bound by the political promises of its predeces-
sors. The Conservatives propose to remedy that by using language in the old Pension Act, which used to govern veterans, saying the application of the law should be “liberally construed” to the benefit of former soldiers and federal police officers. Whether that will be enough to silence critics remains to be seen. Fantino was involved in a testy, public exchange with veterans last winter over office closures and was accused of ignoring pleas for a meeting with a military spouse in a separate incident last spring. Both incidents were a black eye to a government that has staked its political reputation on defending those in uniform.
Canada ranks fourth in world in well-being of older citizens
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK Canada ranks fourth when it comes to the well-being of its older residents, according to a global index reflecting economic security, health and other factors. Norway and Sweden were at the top of the Global AgeWatch Index released Tuesday, while Afghanistan ranked last of the 96 nations in the index. The list was compiled by HelpAge International, a London-based nonprofit with affiliates in 65 countries. Its mission is to help older people challenge discrimination, overcome poverty and lead secure, active lives. The 13 indicators measured in the index include life expectancy, coverage by pen-
sion plans, access to public transit, and the poverty rate for people over 60. The report found 97.7 per cent of Canadians 65 and over receive a pension and 7.2 per cent of those 60 and over have an income less than half the national median. It also found 83.9 per cent of Canadians age 60 or older had at least a high school education. Scores of countries were not ranked due to lack of data for some of the criteria, but HelpAge said the countries included in the index are home to about 90 per cent
of the world’s 60-plus population. Switzerland and Germany joined Canada, Norway and Sweden in the top five. The United States was eighth, Japan ninth, China 48th, Russia 65th and India 69th. According to HelpAge, there are now about 868 million people in the world over 60 - nearly 12 per cent of the global population. By 2050, that’s expected to rise to 2.02 billion, or 21 per cent of the total, the group said. In dozens of countries - including most of eastern Europe - the over-60
segment will be more than 30 per cent of the population. HelpAge launched the index in 2013. Among the changes for 2014 were the inclusion of five more countries, and Norway replacing Sweden with the highest ranking. The new report devotes special attention to the issue of pensions and their role in helping older people remain active and selfsufficient.
According to HelpAge, only half the world’s population can expect to receive even a basic pension in old age. Release of the Index was timed to coincide with the United Nations International Day of Older Persons on Wednesday. Various events were planned in dozens of countries to call on governments and civic institutions to better address the needs of older people.

T
he official start to the municipal elections kicked off Tuesday and with it, from a newspaper’s viewpoint, comes an entire host of issues. From a news-value point of view there is plenty to write about. There are new candidates, a mayor’s race in Trail, issues involving more than one municipality, recreation agreements, sewer lines, boundaries, the list is endless. But from my chair there is a whole other raft of concerns. In each municipal election an editor has to put on a referee’s jersey. We must make the tough calls; remain fair and unbiased and refused to be influenced by the crowd. Granted there are no mass protests outside the Trail Times office or Rob Ford-type candidates muddying our election, or robocalls misdirecting voters from the only voting station in town. Those issues are easy to handle. But in a small town there are many that fly just under the radar. Letters to the editor often provide some of
the best reading in the paper. It voices thoughts that many people share or enlightens us on another viewpoint. But come election time, there has to be a line. I can’t allow letters promoting a certain candidate. It’s too easy to send in a letter supporting a candidate who is really your second cousin’s wife. Suddenly it’s self-promotion and, frankly, that’s what advertising is for. It’s not fair that one candidate spends money advertising their campaign while another has a couple of friends who will write letters to the editor extolling the virtues of this candidate who they just “happen to hear at the forum.” Candidates shouldn’t be allowed to pen their own letters to the editor spouting off their platform. They can criticize street construction, the levels of the river or even the weather but writing about what they would do if elected is a no-no. I’ve made that mistake once already and was called to task for it. And don’t get a group

of people signing a letter. One name or the name of a group will suffice. We don’t want to turn the letters page into a community billboard. Election time letters should stick to the issues not the candidates. If you think the recreation agreement needs to be fixed, then say that. But don’t say which candidate can fix it better than the other one. If letters aren’t an issue then photos are. Do we take a picture of every candidate kissing a baby? Frankly if the baby was spitting up, maybe that’s a photo but a self-promoting photo is once again off limits.
That’s a tougher nut to crack however. If one candidate is everywhere from serving food at Kate’s Kitchen to selling beer at the Smokies game to selling poppies before Remembrance Day while their opponent is at work or busy at home or simply not interested in getting out as much, should that dictate, which photos we take? In those cases I will trust my gut and look at it from a news point of view. If a candidate is rescuing a drowning victim then that photo goes in just like it would if it was anyone else doing some heroic. Flipping a burger at the market doesn’t often make it as a stand-alone picture for the paper so even less of a reason to run it if it’s a candidate during election time. If there’s one thing I’ve learned sitting in this chair it’s that you can’t please everyone. I relish the challenge of trying to please as many people as I can. Except at election time. That’s when it’s wiser to remember what our duty is at the paper - to provide the community
with relevant information about the election and not promote a particular candidate. Candidates come into the process with a desire to help their community. Determining who is better to do that isn’t the role of a newspaper but it’s a role for the voters. I believe our duty is to introduce the candidates, allow them the chance to express their opinions on relevant questions and let the chips fall where they may. I support a lot of things local – from businesses to sports teams to the environment. But one thing I can’t do is favour someone at election time. It’s not my job and it’s certainly not in the best interest of balanced reporting. Once the votes have been tallied then all bets are off. The mayor can be pictured cutting a ribbon, dropping a puck or kissing that baby. But it’s still a better photo if the baby steals the spotlight.

auditor general on the province’s earthquake readiness. A few weeks before Anton’s emergency, Education minister Peter Fassbender haughtily dismissed opposition claims that the B.C. government had tried to provoke a teachers strike in 2012 with this gem: “I’m going to try to speak a little slower so the members opposite hear – actually hear – the facts of what happened.” The problem with his too clever by half retort was that when he started listing those facts – ever so slowly of course – he conveniently overlooked Paul Straszak’s sworn testimony. Straszak, then Public Sector Employers’ Council CEO, had testified that the government’s objective had been to force a strike. And there was Technology minister Andrew Wilkinson who informed the legislature in May that the Integrated Case Management system was “actually running very well... We’re not aware of any significant problems. “The member opposite is so busy trolling for suckers that he seems to have dropped his fishing rod.” Yes, Wilkinson was referring to that Integrated Case Management system, the $182 million one that doesn’t work real well to this day. If there’s a silver lining in any of this Virk, Anton, Fassbender and Wilkinson are all rookie MLAs, so here’s hoping that their answers were rookie mistakes. But as NDP leader John Horgan noted this past June when he called for Virk’s resignation: “I don’t know where accountability disappeared in our parliamentary process.” Well, as Simon and Garfunkel might say, it’s been slip slidin’ away.

Changes needed to control debt: PBO
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The federal Parliamentary Budget Officer says Canada’s provinces, territories and municipalities need to make “significant” policy changes if they want to keep their debt under control. The PBO says those levels of government must find ways to raise their revenues, receive greater federal trans-
fer payments or save money in health care or other programs. The report Tuesday also says the provinces, territories and municipalities cannot meet the challenges of an aging population. The report says the federal government, however, does have the fiscal room to deal with all the challenges associ-
ated with aging demographics. The PBO says Ottawa could boost its spending or cut taxes while maintaining sustainable public debt. The report also says the Canada Pension Plan and Quebec Pension Plan are both able to pay for the projected increase in beneficiaries while remaining sustainable.

ALL.I.CAN. SCREEN SHOT
Trail’s Joey Ward pedals by J.P. Auclair during a segment of his award-winning clip of his skiing through West Trail streets as part of the movie “All.I.Can.” The clip became an Internet sensation garnering over one million views. Auclair was identified this week as the Canadian killed in an avalanche in Chile.
J.P. AUCLAIR
Canadian skier dies in Chile avalanche Auclair filmed memorable All.I.Can. segment on West Kootenay streets BY TIMES STAFF J.P. Auclair, whose ski exploits through the streets of Trail, Rossland and Nelson became an Internet sensation, was one of two professional skiers who died in an avalanche in Chile. Chilean searchers on Tuesday found the bodies of Auclair and Sweden’s Carl Andreas Fransson who had been missing since an avalanche swept them away while they were hiking in the country’s south. Armada Skis, a company in California, confirmed to The Canadian Press that one of the missing hikers was the firm’s co-founder, Quebec freeskier JP Auclair, but offered no further comment pending permission from his family. Auclair is best remembered locally as the skier who put Trail on the urban-skiing map. The 2011 clip from the movie “All.I.Can.” generated over one million views online and can be viewed at https://sherpascinema.com/ project/jp-auclair-street-segment/ In an interview with Powder.com on the eve of the 2012 Powder Awards, Auclair recalled setting the stage for his ski exploits through West Trail. “At the beginning, it was talking to neighbors and knocking on peoples’ doors, and just hanging out in the town of Trail. We spent a lot of time
there and, by the end, people started to get to know us and we’d actually hang out with the local people while we were skiing. That was a really cool experience. “And that all started when we started knocking on peoples’ doors to see if we could ski through their backyards. “Kids walking back from school would be our spotters for the street, to make sure no cars were coming across. “For the most part, it was a super small crew—Dave (Mossop) and I, and Eric Crosland came for a couple of days, and a couple of Dave’s friends came for a couple of days as well. But sometimes it was just the two of us, plus kids coming back from school, or neighbors spotting cars for us.” “He was a creator,” said former Canadian Freestyle Skiing Association CEO Peter Judge. “He saw the world in a different way.” Judge, now Own The Podium’s winter sport director, was a coach when Auclair was first starting out with the freestyle development team in the mid-1990s. He told the Canadian Press his reaction to the video of Auclair skiing through Trail. “I was astounded when I saw it,” Judge said. “Just how much it nailed who J.P. was and what went on in his mind and what his legacy inside of what he gave to the sport.” The grim news prompted an outpouring of grief from the ski industry
and the pair’s fans. The Canadian Freestyle Ski Association said on Twitter it was “shocked & deeply saddened” by Auclair’s sudden death. “He was a legendary skier & his presence in the sport will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this very difficult time,” the organization said. Olympic skier Jenn Heil was one of several professional athletes expressing their grief online. “With heavy hearts we say goodbye to @AuclairJP You were a bright light who changed the face of skiing. RIP,” she wrote. Authorities said Auclair and Fransson arrived in the Aysen region of Chile’s Patagonia on Thursday along with two other tourists from Sweden. They had been hiking the 11,800foot (3,600-meter) San Lorenzo mountain, and disappeared when a wall of rocks and snow cascaded down Tuesday, dragging them to a stream in Argentine territory. The two survivors in the group were treated at a local hospital, and police said they provided information to help locate the bodies. The regional director of Chile’s Emergency Service, Sidi Bravo, said 90 per cent of the people who go missing in the hard-to-reach area are never found. - With files from The Canadian Press

Life chain event Saturday in Trail Mix of sun and rain Guy Bertrand photo
It was perfect conditions for a weather forecaster as “sunny with a chance of rain,” described exactly the mixture Tuesday afternoon along the Victoria St. bridge in Trail.
Submitted Canada is the only democratic country with no law governing abortion. In 1988 the Supreme Court ruled that it was up to Parliament to pass legislation regarding preborn life. Science proves that a baby developing in the womb is human, deserving legal protection far in advance of the moment the child draws its first breath. But more than 26 years have passed, politicians are afraid of the ‘a’ word and there is still no legal protection for preborn babies. Many Canadians want the debate re-opened. Annually, Life Chains are held in Canada and the United States with over 30,000 participants in Canada alone. People stand respectfully, out of concern that human life has value and ‘choice’ must be informed, because abortion ends human life. This year Life
Chain will take place in Trail Saturday at 1 p.m. and in Castlegar and Nelson at 2 p.m. Sunday. Participants will hold signs with varied messages to convey that abortion is not a solution to women’s problems, and that help is available. Like the sign that reads “She’s a Child not a Choice” the area Right to Life Society believes every woman should make a choice
both she and the baby can live with. In order to “Love them Both / Choose Life” as another message reads, the group knows it is important to actively offer help and support to pregnant women. This help can be found locally at the Choices Pregnancy Centre 250-354-1199 or www.choicespregnancycentre.ca Many participants know the importance
of forgiveness and may have themselves had abortions, so want others to know help and support is available at www.canadasilentnomore.com We welcome everyone to join our peaceful gathering in Trail Saturday at 1 p.m. along Victoria St.; in Castlegar on Sunday at 2 p.m. at the intersection of Canadian Tire and Highway 3 and in Nelson on Sunday at 2 p.m. at Front St.

Silver King Campus hosts community barbecue Submitted NELSON – Selkirk College staff and students are inviting the community to join them for a celebration barbecue that will mark five decades of quality trades training, career programs and community education at Nelson’s Silver King Campus.
An education cornerstone in the region since 1964, the campus opened as the BC Vocational School with a vision of expanding training opportunities in Nelson and beyond. Over the last 50 years the trades programs have been the mainstay, but many other programs
have been based out of the 35-acre campus including Nursing, Ski Resort Operations & Management (SROAM), Hairdressing & Esthetics, Professional Cooking, Adult Basic Education, the Kootenay School of the Arts (now known as Kootenay Studio Arts) and many more.
Submitted photos
The Selkirk College Silver King Campus has graduated thousands of students over the last 50 years in a variety of trades and career programs, including this Millwright Program class from the early 1970s.

“It’s incredible to think about how students have enhanced their lives through education on that campus over the last 50 years,” says Selkirk College’s Dean of Instruction for Nelson Kate Pelletier. “The mission of Selkirk College is to inspire lifelong learning, transform lives through education and training, and serve our communities. That mission has certainly been accomplished and continues to grow at the Silver King Campus.” The Silver King Campus 50th Birthday Barbecue will take place on Oct. 8 between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. All former students, staff and community supporters are invited to share in the celebration. Lunch, cake and refreshments will be served. In 1975, the established vocational school was officially merged with Selkirk College. To mark the importance of the Toad Mountain area to Nelson’s mining past, the campus was renamed Silver King. Today the Silver King Campus is home to Hairdressing, Esthetics, Carpentry, Fine Woodworking, Heavy Mechanical, Plant Operator, Welding, Electrical, Millwright/Machinist, Metal Fabricator, Adult Basic Education, Transitional Training, and a wide range of community education courses and classes. “This campus is an important community asset and we want to share the 50th celebration with the community,” says Industry & Trades Training school chair Dan Obradovic.

Minor hockey prepares for new season BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
Greater Trail Minor Hockey Association teams take to the ice in earnest this week, and although this year’s registration is down from the approximately 350 registered last year, GTMHA continues to look for solutions to bolster its numbers. “Every division can use more kids,” said Park. “Realistically, we’re making teams as small as 11 or 12 kids where ideally you would rather be around 14 or 15.” While numbers have yet to be finalized, the Junior Novice or Initiate division attracted fewer first-time players for the second year in a row at its opening evaluation Saturday. “The last count I heard was in the mid50s but I’d rather see it in the 70s, because 50 or 60 kids in Junior Novice is 40 or 50 in Bantam,” said Park. Nevertheless, the GTMHA is taking steps to attract young players and get more parents involved. In the Junior Novice division, for five and six year olds, rather than make separate teams and run a full season, all players practice as a group with the focus on skill development and fun, with the season divided into two sessions. “We’re trying to prevent it from being four-or-five day a week hockey all the time for the little kids,” said Park. “It is skill development . . . we’re trying to get to an almost hockey-school format where you’re breaking your ice into zones, and developing your skills, and then having fun scrimmages.” The Junior Novice player is guaranteed one ice time during the week and one slot on Saturday, with an optional hour of skilldevelopment offered on another weekday. More importantly, the association is trying to establish consistent ice times in an effort to ease both first-time player and parents into Greater Trail’s rich hockey culture. “The whole idea is to introduce kids to hockey, not over-commit them . . . you don’t want to create a situation where the parents are doing a dance when the kid says, ‘I want to quit’.” The first session will run to Nov. 16 for a fee of $125, that includes a wind-up tournament on the final weekend. The second session runs from Nov. 22 and ends with the Novice tournament Mar. 1. As for the Senior Novice, Atom, Pee Wee, Bantam and Midget house teams, evaluations have also begun and will continue until games start next week. Of the five divisions, GTMHA has seen its biggest jump in numbers in Midget. “We’re currently dealing with a little bit of a bumper crop of Midget-aged kids that have come back to hockey, so we might actually end up with a third House team,” said Park.

The GTMHA House teams play in a West Kootenay House League that include teams from Castlegar and Nelson, and, this season, will also introduce teams from Washington State. Players are also required to have their Sports Passes in order to play at the Cominco Arena, and despite the additional red tape, GTMHA is working with the City of Trail to expedite the process. Rep Hockey: The GTMHA will ice Tier 2 Pee Wee, Bantam, and Midget Rep teams, which will again participate in the Okanagan Mainline Hockey Association (OMAHA), a competitive league with teams from Penticton, West Kelowna, Kelowna, Salmon Arm, Kamloops, and Vernon. “It’s been a good experience. I think it’s four years now since we’ve been doing OMAHA, and it’s been very good for the teams.” There will also be a Pee Wee Tier 3 team playing against West Kootenay teams. The rep teams play in their own West Kootenay playdown in an attempt to qualify for their respective Tier 2 provincial championships. Support: While costs for any sport can be expensive and often prohibitive for some families, GTMHA offers a program to help ease the burden on those with financial barriers. “What we do is we piggyback with KidSport and Jumpstart, and ask those individuals to apply for those programs first and if they are awarded money through those programs then our Cinderella fund will match additional monies to cover things like team fees,” said Park. “So kids who have those challenges still have a shot at playing hockey.” Support from KidSport and Jumpstart programs offer up to $300 per child annually for registration, equipment, and/or travel costs. Referees: The association is also on the lookout for qualified referees to officiate at the various levels. For college students, it’s a great opportunity to earn some extra money, as refs make between $20-40 per game. Adults are also required to ref the more competitive OMAHA matches. It’s a great mentoring process, in addition to supporting local minor hockey. The GTMHA will also reimburse refereeingclinic cost after a certain number of games. Upcoming Home Games: The Trail Midget Tier 2 Smokies will host Kamloops at the Cominco Arena at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, and 10:15 a.m. Sunday. The AA Pee Wees host Salmon Arm at 2:15 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. Sunday. For more information or to register go to the Greater Trail minor hockey website at gtmha.com.

Derby recruits ‘fresh meat’
THE NELSON STAR It’s hunting season for the West Kootenay Roller Derby league as they look to recruit new skaters, affectionately known as fresh meat, to their league for the 2015 season. The 12-week training program starts with the first meet and greet on Monday in Castlegar. It’s open to men and women 19 years and older and no experience is necessary as they teach new recruits how to roller skate from
f r ost y’s liquor store daily 9am - 11pm
the ground up. “Our goal is to reach more potential skaters, which strengthens our league so much more,” said Cheyanna Shypitka, sponsorship and fundraising director of West Kootenay Roller Derby. Roller derby was first established in the region in 2009. Melissa Merritt is the league training director with two years of roller derby experience and a deep hockey background.

She will lead the fresh meat weekly practice; new skaters will also practice with their future team so they can get to know the ropes. New recruits will learn how to skate, be rink ready, and how to manoeuvre and fall without injury. It is a contact sport after all.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE - The Detroit Tigers’ starting pitchers in the first three games of the AL Division Series have a combined 329 wins, three Cy Young Awards and 35 games of postseason experience. Baltimore’s starters carry less impressive credentials, yet they don’t necessarily have to outpitch their Detroit counterparts for the Orioles to advance. All they have to do is keep it close, then hand the baseball over to one of the best bullpens in major leagues. Detroit (90-72) didn’t win as many games as the Orioles (96-66), who ran away with the AL East title to earn home-field advantage in the bestof-five series that begins today. But the AL Central-champion Tigers have been installed as a slight favourite - mainly because of their formidable starting rotation. Max Scherzer (185, 3.15 ERA) starts on Thursday, followed by Justin Verlander (1512, 4.54) and David Price (15-12, 3.26). That also happens to be a list of the last three AL Cy Young winners. Advantage, Detroit? “I think we all know what it looks like on
paper,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Wednesday. “But there’s a lot of things that look a certain way on paper for us that we were able to overcome.” Orioles righthander Chris Tillman (13-6, 3.34 ERA) will make his first foray into the post-season in the opener. Although Showalter declined the announced his starters for Friday and Sunday, they will likely be WeiYin Chen (16-6, 3.54) and Miguel Gonzalez (10-9, 3.23), each of whom has pitched in exactly one playoff game. If playoff experience and Cy Young Awards mean anything, then Detroit has a decent chance to reach the AL Championship Series for a fourth straight year. But if a game is close in the seventh inning, the Orioles like their chances. “We’ve got a good bullpen, we have a good starting staff,” said closer Zach Britton, who finished with 37 saves. “Anytime there’s a close game, we’re confident we can pull it out, and we’ve done that a lot this year.” Britton (1.65 ERA) usually works the ninth inning. Andrew Miller (1.35 ERA in 23 games with Baltimore) or Darren O’Day (1.70)

take care of the eighth, following hard-throwing Tommy Hunter. Back in May, when Detroit last played the Orioles, Hunter (3-2, 2.97 ERA) was the closer and Miller was still pitching for Boston. Much has changed. “Britton has really established himself since we last saw Baltimore. He’s one of the best closers in the game,” Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. Ausmus has been calling upon Joba Chamberlain to work the eighth and Joe Nathan to get the final three outs. The duo experienced mixed results during the regular season Chamberlain was 2-5 with four blown saves and a 3.57 ERA, and Nathan finished 5-4 with seven blown saves and a lofty 4.81 ERA. A d v a n t a g e Baltimore?
“Britton, from what I’ve seen, his ball’s moving all over the place,” Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter said. “They’ve got a nice little bullpen over there. We’ve seen some dirty pitching (in the AL Central), so I don’t think it will be new, but it will be tough. Those guys are good.” Scherzer, meanwhile, hasn’t faced the Orioles since June 17, 2013. He knows this much: Baltimore led the majors with 211 home runs, so the right-hander had better be careful. “A team that swings the bat like that, they’re dangerous,” he said. “They’re dangerous one through nine. That’s something I know going into the start. They need to have a good game plan against me and I need to have a good game plan against them.”

L.A. to repeat THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The Los Angeles Kings will hoist the Stanley Cup for the second year in a row and third time in four years, according to a simulation of the 2014-15 season by EA Sports. Generated by the made-in-Vancouver “NHL 15” video game, the EA Sports simulation has the Kings winning the Cup in six games over the Boston Bruins. Boston tops the East with 103 points during the regular season while Chicago finishes first in the West with 106 points. The Kings place fifth in the West with 95 points. The Montreal Canadiens (sixth place with 94 points) and Toronto Maple Leafs (eighth place with 92 points, wild card) both make the playoffs in the East. The Vancouver Canucks (eighth place with 91 points, wild card) are the lone Canadian team to advance in the West. The Ottawa Senators are 16th in the East with 71 points. The Capitals can’t overcome an Alex Ovechkin injury and finish 12th in the East while the 11thplace Red Wings see their record of 23 years straight making the playoffs finally snapped. Edmonton, Winnipeg and Calgary prop up the bottom of the Western Conference with the Oilers 12th (83 points), the Jets 13th (82 points) and the Flames 14th (64 points). Los Angeles defeats San Jose in six games and the Dallas Stars in seven before edging the Chicago Blackhawks in seven games in the Western Conference final.

We know this is a terribly painful time for your family, and it is hardly a comfort for us to say that time will alleviate some of your concerns about your community. Until then, please contact the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (afsp.org).

New and odd behaviors can be symptoms of underlying medical conditions (e.g., small strokes) that require treatment. Dear Annie: You often recommend Al-Anon for spouses of alcoholics. I was led to Al-Anon 38 years ago, and it saved my life and those of my children. I learned about how alcoholism affects the whole family. I also learned that we are so centered on the alcoholic that our lives revolve around him. But in Al-Anon, I changed my focus and became happier. My husband was a wonderful man afflicted by the disease of alcoholism. I tried for 10 years to change him, only to discover that I
probably hindered his recovery by thinking his drinking was partly my fault. Discovering that he was sick and that I had also become sick because of his drinking was an eye opener. Three years before he died, he wrote that if it hadn’t been for the
Al-Anon program, we would not be together today. What a beautiful written memory our children have of their father. I encourage anyone out there to try Al-Anon. You might be surprised at what you can learn at a meet-

Instead, he manipulates others to obtain things for free. When he needed Band-Aids, he finagled a handful when he went to the doctor (and also asked for pharmaceutical samples). When he needed rubber bands, he stopped the postman. He tells his neighbor that he’s a horrible cook and encourages them to bring him their leftovers. Money is not the issue.

Dear Annie: Recently, our 18-yearold son chose to take his life soon after his high school graduation. Now we are left trying to pick up the pieces and move forward. We live in a small community, and everyone is well aware of what happened. Our youngest son just started the sixth grade and came home sad. He says he feels that he doesn’t have friends anymore and that everyone is talking about him behind his back. The parents of his used-to-be friends have shunned him because of what has happened in our family. I have felt the snubbing as well with my own encounters. I have contacted our middle school guidance counselor, and she will keep an eye out for our son, but how do we stand up for ourselves? We feel devastated.

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Friday, Oct. 3, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today is so much easier than yesterday! Enjoy schmoozing with others, including partners and close friends. Share your hopes and dreams for the future to see if others will help you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) For some reason, details about your personal life seem to be made public today. No worries, though; it looks like people will admire you. (That’s a relief.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’ll enjoy talking to someone from a different background or another country today. You also will love to travel for pleasure. Make a point of seeing beautiful places. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Keep your pockets open, because gifts, goodies and favors from others will come your way today. Pass on this
generosity if you can, to keep the formula going! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You will have to compromise and be accommodating to others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. But hey, this is no biggie (not for a royal Leo)! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A female acquaintance might help you at work today. Possibly, a mild flirtation could begin with a co-worker. Be careful. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a fun-loving day! Take a long lunch or leave work early. Plan to enjoy playful times with children, sports events and anything that has to do with movies and the arts. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Entertain at home today. Invite the gang over! Relations with female relatives will be especially smooth. You also might
want to shop for something for your home or family. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your ability to sell, promote, schmooze and enjoy the company of others is strong today because you have the gift of gab! Enjoy good times with siblings, relatives and neighbors. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is an excellent day for business and commerce.
If shopping, you will want to buy beautiful things for yourself or loved ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) It’s easy to get along with others today, because everybody has a sweet disposition. You also might have an increased interest in seeing beautiful things or appreciating the arts. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You feel quietly contented
today, which is easy to do. This simply means you are happy with your present moment. (Negativity is wanting things to be different from the way they are.) YOU BORN TODAY You are socially aware, modern and up-to-date. Plus, you are attractive, interesting and charming! Personal taste matters to you, and you often set the standard for family and friends.
