Almost 300 members of Trail's local Hospital Employees' Union were drawn to the lobby of Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital to celebrate Hospital Employees' Union Day with a slice of cake. Lindsey Simmons, chair and shop steward, was on hand to cut the cake while Shannon Calhoun, vice chair, helped dole out the tasty treat to unionized support staff from maintenance through to care aids. The gathering is a chance to remind staff that they're supported and that the union continues to strive for positive morale, a high patient care level and a budget that supports the numbers required to deliver this plan.

It's been quiet on the homefront since Trail's boundary expansion proposal was delivered to government officials.

After a change of provincial hands that oversee the file, last month, Trail council met with the new minister-in-charge.

Peter Fassbender now leads the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, so city staff and the Trail mayor met with him two weeks ago in Victoria, during the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) conference. (former Minister Coralee Oakes now leads the Ministry of Small Business, Red-Tape Reduction and the Liquor Distribution Branch) “We took the opportunity when meeting with Minister Fassbender and his staff, as part of the UBCM activities, to introduce ourselves and to ensure that boundary extension remained a priority with his ministry,” Trail Mayor Mike Martin told the Trail Times.

“The matter has been going on for far too long and needs to be resolved,” he added.

“The minister was well briefed on the file and agreed.”

Martin confirmed the ministry's commitment that the boundary expansion would be among the top priorities, but said, “the ball is squarely in their court at this time.”

age of 76.)

Certain themes still resound today, because back then, the Free Trade agreement was hotly disputed (as is Trans-Pacific Partnership this year) and Conservative scandals abounded.

Nevertheless, Brian Mulroney won his second consecutive majority.

Election aside, another timely headline reads, “UIC appeal affect many,” which describes the legal battles of a 67-year old Montreal woman calling

for full unemployment benefits for people over 65.

First the federal court of appeal ruled that denying the woman full benefits after losing her job was age discrimination. The federal government then appealed that decision.

Fast forward to 2012, when instead of older workers fighting the government for benefits over 65, the Government of Canada ruled that by 2023, eligibility for Old Age Security will increase from 65 to 67.

BY TIMES STAFF The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died following a boating incident on Kootenay Lake near Riondel on Sunday.

He was David Larry Dale Jamieson, aged 30, from Fruitvale.

Jamieson was one of four persons aboard a seven-metre aluminium power boat on Kootenay Lake. About 8 p.m. on Sunday, the boat ran into rocks at the base of a steep rock face near the Riondel ferry terminal on the east side of the lake. Jamieson died at the scene as a result of injuries sustained in the collision.

The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate this death.

“We’ve seen difficult times in business and we’ve seen better times, but what’s most important is having good business sense, and beyond that is knowing when it’s time to invest.”

Much like the promise made by Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau to spend $125 billion in new infrastructure over the next 10 years if they win, Denesiuk believes capital investment to be a crucial part of progression.

“It was tough deciding to invest in equipment when we were going through leaner times, but that equipment helped us to actually weather through the financial storm.

“And that is exactly what the Liberals are going to do, we’re in a recession right now, we need to jumpstart our economy. One way of doing that is by investing in infrastructure.”

Denesiuk said more federal incentives should be in place to encourage Canadians to build green, and on a larger scale.

“We know there have been programs in the past; rebates for certain appliances or windows – but I’m taking about bigger, cutting-edge technologies.”

She feels that Canadians have become more divided over the past 10 years, and said a politically-balanced approach is what’s needed.

“The Liberal Party is not right and it’s not left — it brings people together.”

Asked what she thought the elections issues were for locals, Troy said she gets the impression that they main concern is electing a different government than the one that’s been in power for the past nine years.

Elio Parisotto

would sincerely like to thank all of those who assisted and supported us at the time of his recent passing and for the several prior days of his hospital care.

To the staff at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, a heart-felt thank you for the professional and compassionate care that you provided to Dad. In particular, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to Dr. Mountain and the ICU nursing staff, as well as the nurses who cared for Dad in his final time in the Family Room. A special thank you also goes to Dr. Stanley who cared for Dad for many years, and was there for each of his final days.

Bill Clark and his trusted staff (Tracy and Alexandra) at Alternatives Funeral Services were so helpful and supportive in terms of guiding us through the funeral arrangements and ensuring that Dad’s funeral was the dignified ceremony we sought to achieve for him. They graciously assisted us with every detail, and we are very grateful for their professionalism and personal attention.

Holy Trinity Catholic Parish is a community of clergy, clerical support and parishioners that the people of Trail are very lucky to have and to be able to draw upon. We certainly received great comfort and support from the Parish. We would especially like to thank Father Bart for his guidance and inspirational messages; Sister Norma and Rita Morrison, for all of the details that they looked after and for their kindness and concern; the Choir, organist and soloists, for their beautiful music and singing; and the wonderful ladies of the CWL who did such an amazing job of hosting the funeral reception in a caring and considerate way. A heartfelt thank you as well to all those friends and family who brought the delicious baking and to those who provided cheese and meat platters.

And to the community of relatives, friends and neighbours of Dad and our family – You are so special!

We are deeply grateful for your contributions in every way, and for providing such kind and generous hospitality to us. It was of such comfort to know that we had people to help and care for us, under such difficult circumstances.

Thank you to the pall bearers and honourary pall bearers for the role they performed in honour of Dad. Thank you to the Colombo Lodge, and its representatives who attended, also to honour Dad. And thank you especially to all of those who came out of respect and friendship for Dad, from his dear friends dating from long ago in Italy, to his hunting pals, to our Burns Avenue neighbours, to his friends at Chateau Manor, and to the greater Italian community. Each of your gestures and messages of condolence, sympathy cards, and donations (especially to the KBRH Health Foundation Urology Campaign) have been gratefully received and sincerely appreciated. Our Dad would have been very proud and content with all that you did and conveyed – he did care very deeply about all of his family and each of his friends.

OBITUARIES &NOTICES FUNERAL With great sadness we announce the passing of

Rachele Marina Kratky

(nee Conzon)

in the early hours of September 9th after a brief illness at the age of 82 years.

Predeceased by her parents Erminia and Mario and survived by her husband and constant companion of 42 years John, as well as brother in law Lou, sister Inka Sandulak, many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Rachele was a charismatic and highly energetic person who found her passion in teaching and was well known in the community as an elementary school teacher at Warfield School. Not a day went by without her mentioning one or two of her many memories of the students she taught in Trail as well as Hazleton.

Her love of animals was legendary, demonstrated by her work placing rescued Greyhounds into adoptive homes. She loved watching the wildlife near her beautiful log home, built by herself and John. The day before her passing, the wild turkeys and a Stellers jay returned as if to say goodbye.

She appreciated the help from many in recent years as cancer impacted her life. Thank you to her excellent medical support staff especially the hospital nursing staff and physicians (including but not inclusive) Dr. Purcell, Dr. Scotland and Dr. Houde.

In Rachele’s words...

“Friends and relatives, more than I can remember, all played a part in shaping my life, and now, more than ever my doctors and care people. To them and others, no words of praise are adequate, suffice it to say, Thank You and May God Bless you All.” A funeral mass will take place at Holy Trinity church in Trail on Thursday, Oct 22 at 10:30 a.m. A reception will be held in the church hall immediately following the mass. Private interment will be carried out at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations to your charity of choice would be appreciated.

Government shouldn’t pit seniors against young Canadians

O

ver the last 10 years, the Conservative federal government has invested more in the oldest third of the Canadian population while cutting their taxes.

Even my 71-year-old mother doesn’t believe this is good. She knows it means too little attention is being paid to the growing economic and environmental risks facing her kids and grandchildren.

Despite one of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s favourite talking points – that middle incomes have increased on his watch – out of context, this fact obscures the bigger picture.

Compared to a generation ago, twice as many young Canadians now give up years in the labour market to pursue post-secondary education in order to compete for jobs. After spending more time and money on education, young adults struggle to land stable, fulltime work with benefits.

For those who do, full-time earnings have not kept pace with housing prices.

The average cost of housing is up $116,000 after inflation, compared to 2005. Housing costs more

even as apartments get smaller in our bigger cities. This squeezes younger generations for space, time and money just when we want to start our families.

Compared to when Harper became PM a decade ago, we must work an extra two to three years to save a 20 per cent down payment.

Then we must carry larger mortgages, working an extra month to make annual payments compared to a generation ago – even though interest rates are low compared to the 1980s.

For many, this crushes dreams of home ownership while imposing rents driven up by higher property prices.

The housing market that frustrates younger Canadians has been good for my mom’s demographic. The average person 55 and older has realized more than $165,000 in additional value in their homes after inflation, compared to 1977.

I’m glad my mom accumulated this wealth.

But she and I wonder why the federal government prioritized cutting taxes for the aging population.

Income splitting for seniors costs Ottawa $1.1 bil-

DR. PAUL

KERSHAW Troy Media

lion annually. The pension income credit costs $1.1 billion. The tax break for anyone 65 and over costs the government $3 billion.

Not done there, Harper doubled the contribution limit for Tax Free Savings Accounts in his election budget. Canadians 60 and older are three to five times more likely to max out their TFSAs than those age 18 to 49. TFSAs shelter deposits from further taxation no matter how well investments pay off.

Harper also cut $168 million a year in taxes for affluent seniors by changing rules governing Registered Retirement Income Funds – at a cost that is greater in one year than all that Harper added to student grants over the

next three years.

Ironically, the opposition parties accuse Harper of cutting government spending because of his tax cuts. But this isn’t entirely accurate. Annual spending on Old Age Security increased by $8 billion after inflation over Harper’s decade in power, and the Canada Health Transfer increased $10 billion.

Forty-seven per cent of health-care spending goes to 16 per cent of the population aged 65 and over.

What Harper didn’t increase substantially is spending on younger generations. A ground breaking new study shows that the federal government spends nearly $21,000 annually per retiree compared to $4,350 per person under the age of 45. This calculation includes the PM’s universal child-care benefit, and income splitting for one in three families with kids.

Harper’s main rivals as we head toward the Oct. 19 federal election promise to do better. However, their projections don’t always budget enough to get the job done.

The New Democrats talk about $15 per day child

care. But the $1.9 billion they would budget isn’t a quarter of what is required.

The Liberal platform budgets the most of the big three parties for families raising kids. But their promise to extend parental leave by six months is backed by too little money to make a meaningful difference, and they would invest less directly in childcare services.

By the platform numbers, the national party last in the polls is first for proposing bigger changes for younger Canadians.

The Greens would eliminate tuition for a first postsecondary degree, may reallocate three times more money for child-care services than the NDP, and promise more money than other parties for a national housing strategy.

No matter which federal party you prefer, it’s time all parties commit Ottawa to reporting how government spending breaks down by age, and whether we are leaving at least as much as we inherited.

Vote to reform our election system In this election, Canadians should vote for fair elections.

We need a voting system that gives fair and accurate representation of the votes cast (proportional representation).

For the last four years we have been governed by a “majority” government that was elected

by 38 per cent of the voters.

This has not fairly represented Canadian interests.

It is not wise to vote on the basis of any one single issue, however, establishing a fair voting system should factor highly in our priorities this election.

Think health care at the ballot box

The Society for the Protection and Care of Seniors (SPCS) has been active over the past several months in urging voters in the local riding to seriously consider the federal candidates and their party’s plans for health care as they seek election next Monday.

Facing the prospect of $36 billion in funding cuts by the current federal government over the next 5-10 years, including $5 billion to B.C., there is much at stake in this election.

A new Ekos poll shows that health care is the number one priority for Canadians.

The BC Health Coalition (BCHC), which partnered with SPCS on the Vote Pledge Campaign locally during the summer and fall, has just released an “election guide” showing where the major par-

ties stand on five key health care issues: negotiating a new health accord; restoring essential funding to the provinces; investing in a National Senior Health Care Strategy; restoring health care services for refugees; implementing a National Pharmacare program; a national plan to eliminate poverty (a major contributor to poor health).

Each person who pledged to “vote for health care” will receive the guide this week by mail or electronically. Everyone can access the guide by going to www.votepublichealthcareb. ca.

In talking to people locally, SPCS is finding that the guide reflects many concerns in regard to family and individual health, including the need for supportive community care,

loss of medical services, federal cuts to budgets and challenges in paying for needed medications.

It also reflects what has been heard from the candidates at meetings, in all candidate forums and media releases.

These are clearly reflected in the guide.

SPCS feels clearly that we need to elect a federal government in 2015 that has a strong mandate to protect and strengthen our public health system.

We are hoping that your readers will agree with this need and will look closely at the election guide before they cast their ballot this coming Monday.

TPP presents final twist to election campaign An editorial from the Amherst Daily News With any luck, the newly announced international trade deal will get us past bickering about the niqab in discussion surrounding the election.

A huge, historic agreement it is, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which involves 12 nations, including Canada.

Harper called it the new gold standard for trade deals, and promised it would serve to create jobs in Canada into the future.

It would be an understatement to say not everyone is a fan of these deals, or convinced of their benefit. Remember the debate that ensued following the North American free trade agreement? We still hear detractors claim that these

deals have lowered work standards and pulled jobs to the lowest common denominator elsewhere.

That is to say, there are winners and – despite the fanfare from the government inking the deal – there are losers.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper said of the dairy industry that the federal government would compensate Canadian farmers and processors by $4.3 billion over 15 years. We’ll have to see whether that gets challenged by other countries as an unfair subsidy.

On the downside, Canadian auto workers union Unifor is predicting that the agreement will ultimately cost 20,000 jobs in the country’s auto industry.

The deal will allow for the tariff-free movement of vehicles

that have as little as 45 per cent domestic content.

Depending on numbers of Canadians who believe this will mean a positive impact, the Conservatives might have given themselves a boost in the election campaign.

But there are other considerations.

The tight race in the election campaign as suggested in polling numbers raises another dilemma. The NDP have said if they form government they would not consider themselves bound by the deal. The Liberals say they need time to study it.

Should the Conservatives happen to form a minority government following the Oct. 19 election, this will be the first and biggest issue to test confidence.

Toneff named assistant coach

BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

The Trail Smoke Eaters will see former player Curtis Toneff join the coaching staff as an assistant this weekend when the team plays Langley and Salmon Arm at the Cominco Arena Friday and Saturday.

The 22-year-old Nanaimo native coached in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League with the Campbell River Storm last season, and helped lead the team to a Keystone Cup, Western Canadian championship appearance.

JIM BAILEY PHOTO “We heard a lot The J.L. Crowe Hawks soccer team hosted a play-day last week, and went on to beat Mount Sentinel of good things with Secondary 10-3 in the afternoon tilt following a win over Nakusp earlier in the day. his working for their defensive core, and he’s eager to start his coaching career,” said Smoke Eater coach and GM Nick Deschenes.

Iconic Smoke Eater jersey Top 10 in Hockey News special issue

BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

The 1939 Trail Smoke Eaters jersey is featured prominently on the cover of the current issue of The Hockey News (THN) as part of their Top 100 jerseys of all time, unfortunately, you can’t buy one in Trail.

The iconic orange and black wool sweater with black shoulders and black stripes bordering the crest of two Cominco stacks billowing smoke is one of three jerseys on the front page of THN’s “The Jersey Issue.” On the left is the Chicago Blackhawks 20’s era sweater and, front-andcentre, the San Jose Sharks’ 1991 expansion-team circa jersey.

“Putting together this list was very fun and a bit daunting, since jerseys are such a beloved part of hockey,” Ryan Kennedy, the THN author of the Top 100 Jersey list, said in an email to the Times. “From the start, I didn’t want to get boxed in by history, so my criterion included boldness, uniqueness, overall aesthetic and timelessness – does it still look good today?”

The Smoke Eaters jersey came in at number eight on the list, while the Sharks jersey took top spot, the Blackhawks second, with Team Sweden in third.

The legendary ‘39 Smoke Eaters logo was also recognized

by THN as one of the best ever in a 2009 publication with a description of the Smokies incredible run at the World Championship in Switzerland in 1939. Kennedy says the team as much as the jersey and logo design still cre-

ate an impact today.

“I also surveyed a group of graphic designers with little to no hockey knowledge, just to make sure I didn’t miss any blindspots. So even though the Chicagos and Montreals got their due, teams such as Trail and San Jose were also top picks since they met the criterion (and really stuck in my head).”

The NHL signed a seven-year deal with Adidas earlier this month, an agreement that has the potential to transform the League’s look. As a result, THN jumped on the jersey theme and, along with the Top-100, the magazine features articles THN Top 10 Jerseys: 1. San Jose Sharks (circa 1991-92) 2. Chicago Blackhawks (current) 3. Team Sweden (current) 4. Montreal Canadiens (current) 5. Seattle Thunderbirds (current) 6. Detroit Red Wings (current) 7. Toronto Maple Leafs (1958-59) 8. Trail Smoke Eaters (1937-38) 9. Quebec Nordiques (1980-81) 10. Windsor Spitfires (1987-88)

highlighting “The History of Sweaters,” “Theme-night Jerseys,” and further insight into the Adidas deal.

“Hockey fans are definitely passionate about their jerseys and I think it’s because a good one can last for decades or even longer,” said Kennedy. “Plus, with full sleeves, it’s the best canvas for a designer in all of pro sports.”

Interest in the Jersey Issue has been growing in Greater Trail since its release last week, unfortunately, hard copies of the THN special issue are unavailable at local locations.

“I’ve been hearing, ‘check out the new Hockey News,’ and everyone was flying in to buy one,” said Heather Wilcox from The Crockett Book Company at Waneta Plaza. “But we didn’t get it.”

Crockett’s and other area stores regularly carry THN, but special publications like the Jersey Issue often don’t find their way into smaller markets.

“Unfortunately, when something big like that happens, we in the Kootenays are last on the list, while Vancouver and Kelowna, they gobble up extra copies,” added Wilcox.

Nevertheless, the inclusion of a Smoke Eater jersey among the Top 10 hockey sweaters ever worn, anywhere, is another nod to the Silver City’s tremendous hockey tradition, one that continues to be recognized world wide.

Hockey fans can order a copy of the Jersey Issue or an online version by going to thn.com/ mag.

“At this point everything is in place, systems are in place, and the foundation is laid, so I think he’s eager to come in and learn and work and it’ll be a good contrast as far as some of the youth he brings, and maybe a different perspective so we’re excited to have him on board.”

Toneff played 24 games with the Smokies in 2013-14 as a defenceman, and collected 13 points and 42 penalty minutes.

Trail announced the hiring of Rockie Zinger Oct. 2, but after a brief stay, the team determined that the former coach of the Kindersley Klippers of the Saskatchewan Hockey League wasn’t a good fit.

“He wasn’t what was needed as far as an assistant coach goes,”

said Deschenes. “He has the credentials as a head coach, but I don’t think he would be capable to come in and be an assistant . . . so it was better to nip that in the bud before anything went further.”

Toneff will join Deschenes and assistants Barry Zanier and Craig Clare on the coaching staff this week, as the team gets set to play Vernon Vipers tonight in Vernon before returning home for a pair of matches this weekend. The 4-6-0 Smokies are coming off victories over the Prince George Spruce Kings, 7-3, and Coquitlam Express, 2-1, and face a 5-6-0-1 Vipers team that lost 4-3 to Prince George at home on Saturday following a 6-2 victory over Nanaimo Clippers on Friday.

Sidey leads Tire to win over Re/Max

BY TIMES STAFF In a hard-fought battle on Thursday at the Cominco Arena, OK Tire held on for a 2-1 victory over Re/Max in Trail Commercial Hockey League action, while the Arlington kicked it up a notch with a 9-5 win over Allstar.

Jeff Sidey scored twice to put the Tire up 2-0 and Rocky Dickson stopped everything fired at him in the first two periods to lead OK Tire to its first victory of the season.

Devyn Hill cut the lead to one a minute into the third period but that was as close as Re/Max would get as the realtors fell to 0-2-1 on the season, while OK Tire grabbed a share of first place with a 1-0-1

record.

Meanwhile the Big A grabbed its first win of the year on the strength of a hat trick from Mike Broyd, a seven-point night from Pat Iannone, and five points from Jeremy Robinson.

Allstar jumped out to a 3-2 lead in the first period on goals from Andrew Jenner, Derek Steep, and Colton Semenok, but a six-goal second-period outburst from the Arlington iced it for the A. On Thursday, Gericks faces Arlington at 7:15 p.m. and Re/Max plays OK Tire at 8:30 p.m. Sunday matches resume with OK Tire taking on Allstar at 2:15 p.m. and Big A versus Gericks at 3:30 p.m.

the season with a torn ACL in his left knee is set to face playoff veteran Cole Hamels in the deciding game of the first-round series Wednesday afternoon.

“He’s done it in the playoffs, he’s proven and he’s nasty,” Stroman said. “I just look forward to competing against Cole Hamels.”

Hamels was the World Series MVP in 2008, and Stroman will be making his second career postseason start.

“There’s something different about him,” manager John Gibbons said. “If anybody can rise to the occasion it’ll be him.”

The pressure is on Stroman after the Blue

Jays opted to use ace David Price in relief of R.A. Dickey in Game 4.

Gibbons said Price is “not here to be abused” and that he wouldn’t count on the star lefty being available for Game 5 at Rogers Centre.

Without Price, Aaron Loup would be the only left-hander available out of the bullpen.

But Loup’s status is unclear after he missed Game 4 with a personal matter.

Gibbons said he did not know if Loup would be available.

Game 5 goes today at 1:07 p.m. Pacific Time; the winner will move on to play in the American League Championship Series.

NATIONAL

Experts urge Canadians to take part in earthquake drill Thursday THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - Get ready for the Great Shakeout.

On Thursday, drills in British Columbia and Quebec will provide people with the opportunity to learn how to be safer during earthquakes.

B.C. organizers say 750,000 people have registered for that province’s event, which will see participants drop to the ground at 10:15 a.m. local time, take cover by getting under a table or desk and hold on for about 60 to 90 seconds.

The exercise, which happens yearly on the third Thursday in October, was first held in British Columbia in 2011.

Alison Bird, a seismologist with Natural Resources Canada, is urging Canadians to take steps to prepare for an earthquake not just in southwestern B.C. where there’s a high risk - but across the country.

Bird says some groups in Ontario will also be doing the drill, but it is not provincewide.

She stresses the worst thing a person can do is to run through a building when a quake hits.

“When you’re in a stressful situation your brain is not functioning properly so your body wants to do the instinctive thing, which is to run,” she said, adding that the most dangerous place to

be is just around the outside of a building.

Bird says people need to be taught to drop, find cover and hold on if an earthquake hits.

“It’s really important to create that muscle memory so that you do the right thing in an earthquake,” she said.

Over the centuries, earthquakes in Canada have claimed at least 30 lives, with most of them victims of a tsunami that hit Newfoundland in 1929.

People living on Moresby Island, off the B.C. mainland, have been coping with their share of earthquakes over the years.

Bill Beldessi, the director of Moresby Island regional district, remembers the 2012 quake in the Haida Gwaii region that measured 7.8 on the Richter scale.

“It was probably one of the worst one since I’ve lived here,” he said in an interview from Sandspit, B.C. “I was in bed and I noticed the light fixtures started making noises and a few things dropped off the wall and then a couple of aftershocks happened within five minutes.”

Beldessi, 66, says everyone headed for higher ground.

That threat of massive tidal waves also prompted the community to pull together and set

up an emergency centre.

“That’s what we’re doing right now,” he said. ”We have a tsunami centre up in the hills and it’s full stocked.

“As far as the big one, who knows when it’s going to come - we don’t lay awake worrying about it.

“We constantly have earth tremors here so it’s not a big deal when we get something around three-and-a half or (magnitude) four. It’s normal.”

Bird says people living in Victoria have a one-in-three chance of experiencing a damaging earthquake over the next 50 years.

For Vancouver, there’s a onein-five chance.

The danger is lower in the B.C. Interior, but Bird cautions ”there’s nowhere that has zero hazard for earthquakes.“ The hazard decreases further inland and while provinces like Saskatchewan and Manitoba can experience quakes, the threat there is low.

Bird says there are approximately 4,000 earthquakes a year in the West and about another 2,000 in the East.

“So it’s a very active country for earthquakes. . . we really have to try to get people to recognize that that’s the case.”

Her colleague, Maurice

Lamontagne, who monitors Eastern Canada, says there are three active seismic zones in Quebec.

He says 60 earthquakes are registered yearly in the west Quebec region, which includes the Laurentians, Montreal, Ottawa and eastern Ontario.

Another seismic zone is the Charlevoix region northeast of Quebec City where two children died in an 1866 quake.

The third seismic zone in Quebec is the Lower St-Lawrence

region and Lamontagne says it’s mainly under the river that the 60 yearly quakes are produced.

The seismologist adds that neighbouring New Brunswick has had its share of quakes and continues to register small ones.

Lamontagne warns there could be a repeat of the 7.2 earthquake off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland that was followed by a tsunami.

It killed 28 people as waves carried away several villages in the Burin Peninsula.

ONTARIO

Over 2,000 bear reports in city THE CANADIAN PRESS SUDBURY, Ont. - Residents of Sudbury, Ont., just can’t bear it anymore.

City officials have set up a committee of experts in an effort to find a solution to an influx of unwelcome black bears, known as “nuisance bears.”

Coun. Al Sizer, a member of the committee, said that the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry has received 2,200 reports of bear-sightings in the city, and police said they’ve received an additional 1,700 bear complaints, four

times more than the previous summer.

Sizer said Sudbury accounted for nearly half of the province’s complaints about nuisance bears this summer. In fact, reporting nuisance bears is the first option in the phone directory at the Sudbury office of the Ministry.

Sudbury police only dispatch officers when they determine there’s a risk to the public, said Staff Sgt. Craig Maki.

That’s happened 500 times this year, and it’s eaten up 225 hours of police time. They’ve had to kill eight bears.

2015 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Dear Annie: Our 22-year-old son recently asked his girlfriend to marry him. They have been dating for two years. Now he wants us to meet with her parents to talk about the wedding. The big topic of conversation will likely be finances.

What is the proper way to discuss who pays for what in regards to the wedding? I am not sure how things work these days, and I assume the etiquette has changed over the years. He is our oldest son, and this is our first wedding.

-- Parents in Pittsburgh Dear Parents: You are right that things have changed, and generally for the better. It is no longer the rule that the bride’s parents pay for nearly everything. Adult children with decent incomes should be encouraged to pay for their own weddings, perhaps with help from both sets of parents. Some parents give the children a specific amount and let them plan from there.

Decide how much you are willing to spend (and can afford).
