TRAIL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Meeting offers ideas, discussion BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff
Air travel access and the local impact of industry in the north were on the agenda at Tuesday’s regional Chamber of Commerce meeting in Cranbrook. Along with the Trail and District Chamber of Commerce, representatives from chambers in Rossland, Castlegar, Nelson, Cranbrook, Fernie, Sparwood, Elkford, Radium and Golden attended the meeting. Trail’s executive director Norm
Casler, had a seat at the table and he says the number one benefit of a regional meeting is being able to use other chambers as a sounding board. “We can get together as a region and collaborate and talk about strengthening our network as a whole,” he said. “It is an opportunity to have a round table discussion about what is working and what is not working for other chambers.

Fifth annual Piazza Day
From polenta to pizza to pasta necklaces Sisters of Colombo celebrate 90 years in the community By Liz Bevan Times Staff
Pizza, gelato and a host of specialty baked goods are ready and waiting for Saturday at the Piazza Colombo. Starting at 11 a.m., both the men's lodge and the Sisters of Colombo are hosting the fifth annual Piazza Day and Carmen Davis, member of the sisters, says there are plenty of activities planned for the community. “We've got sausages, polenta, pizza from the Rustic Crust, tons of wonderful italian baked goods, gelato they brought in from Mario's Gelato in Vancouver, and speciality coffee,” she said.
“It has been confirmed that we have Roland Perry, Terry Mandolin, Ray Tenisci and Friends providing live music during the event.” For the kids, Davis says there are going to be crafts and face-painting. “The kids always come out and make their pasta necklaces,” she said. “Basically, we just want to invite everyone to come out and enjoy Italian food and culture.” For those who have had their fill of delicious Italian cooking and want to learn more about the history of Italian culture in Trail, Davis says that long-time lodge members, Buz and Selma Nutini will be in the archives room at the lodge from noon to 1 p.m. “(They are) going to be greeting visitors and talking to them about our history
and culture,” she said. “They can explain the different artifacts we have.” This year, Davis says she is hoping for a big turnout and sunshine, just like in previous years. “Of course, we are hoping for this beautiful weather we have been having,” she said. “We have managed, in other years, to have sunshine and we really hope it is a repeat performance. We have always had a great turnout from the community – families, friends, members and nonmembers. It has always been a really successful event.” Along with celebrating the beautiful Piazza Colombo, the Sisters of Colombo will be celebrating 90 years of community involvement and volunteering. “We are benevolent society originally formed to take
care of our members,” said Davis. “Over the years, we have just grown. I think we have just over 400 members and we actively participate in the community.” The sisters can be seen around town, whether it is serving tea and baking for the residents of Columbia View or holding raffles to raise money for the soup kitchen and families in need. To help celebrate the anniversary, the sisters will have their cookbooks for sale at Piazza Day. “We weren't going to do anything too special as far as 90 years goes,” said Davis, “We just want to celebrate with the community.” The weekend event starts at the Piazza Colombo at 11 a.m. on Saturday and runs until 2 p.m. Tickets for food and drinks will be for sale at the Piazza during the event.

Air access to Kootenays on agenda FROM PAGE 1 “It is a great time for us to talk about great practices for chambers in terms of fundraisers, advocacy works and common issues that are facing all of us in the region.” Some of those issues affecting the region include the exodus of skilled labour workers to northern industry. “People are leaving not only our community, but the southern rural communities, in droves to go up north and get the big jobs,” said Casler. “There is industry, not only in Trail, but really throughout the Kootenays and across southern B.C. that are lacking and they are having a hard time retaining those workers.”
Discussions also centred around access to air space in the Kootenay region when it comes to industry and tourism. “It is a fairly complicated issue, but the bottom line is that we want to make sure that it is as accessible as possible for workers, tourists and visitors to get in and out of all of our communities,” said Casler. The main goal of the meeting was to discuss with other regions how to best represent each area in attendance. “There are opportunities out there and we all need to get together, find and create those opportunities in our own communities and promote them,” explained Casler. A spokesperson from the
British Columbia Chamber of Commerce sat in on the meeting and Casler says it is vital for the region to have a voice on the provincial stage. The chambers around the table will be collaborating to make sure that voice is heard. “We are going to look into developing a couple of policy papers on (air access, northern industry and tourism) and these will be papers that we can put together collaboratively and pass along to the B.C. Chamber of Commerce for their next annual general meeting, which isn’t until the spring,” he said. “We are bringing issues forward and dealing with provincial issues that affect businesses across British Columbia.”
FROM PAGE 1 Public health is trying to track whether or not the enterovirus is spreading, he noted, adding that cases are confirmed through a nasopharyngeal swab – and he had one more patient to add to that list on Tuesday. The middle-aged person had been otherwise healthy but presented with a severity of symptoms that alerted the doctor. “He’d been at a conference with some folks from the U.S., Russia and a few other countries,” noted MacKay. “I was just a little worried because (the patient) was much more sick than (the patient) has been in a long time.” Since there is no treatment or vaccination to ward off the illness, MacKay maintains that the common-sense approach of hand washing, coughing into your sleeve and keeping sick children at home, is the best way to avoid catching the virus
or spreading it. “With the teachers’ strike potentially coming to an end there’s a great opportunity for it to spread,” he explained. “Coming in with a runny nose isn’t something we can too much about, and may just add to the spread of it,” MacKay continued. “But if the child is having difficulty breathing then it’s time to go into the ER or your family doctor.” There’s three confirmed cases of D68 in the province, Dr. Sue Pollock told the Trail Times Wednesday. She said this particular viral strain has been known about since the early 1960s, and is the second most common cause of the garden variety cold. “Any given season we expect enterovirus will circulate and transmit between people,” explained Pollock, a medical health officer for the Interior Health Authority (IHA). “Most
individuals will present with mild symptoms,” she noted. “But what we are seeing is an increase in severity of illness, in particular, in young children with underlying respiratory conditions.” However, Pollock warns that D68 can affect individuals of any age, but supportive care such as bed rest and fluids, is the only course of treatment because there is no anti-viral therapy available. “One of the three confirmed cases is an adult IHA resident from the Thompson-Caribou area,” she said. “For the most part D68 seems to be affecting children, but this shows it can really affect individuals of any age. If symptoms progress and there is difficulties breathing such as wheezing, or if a child is not as alert as usual, then it is very important to seek medical care as soon as possible.”

MP crafts bill to prevent oil tankers on North Coast By Cameron Orr The Northern View
Skeena — Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen is putting forward a bill in Parliament that would ban crude oil tankers on the North Coast. The specifics of the bill have yet to be released, as it has not gone before the House of Commons, but it would ban tankers carrying unrefined products on the coast and give greater weight to public input on projects being considered by the National Energy Board. The inspiration for the bill has come from all of the trouble ... around the Northern
Gateway Pipeline,” said Cullen. “Right now the legislation that guides the National Energy Board allows them to have public hearings but doesn’t implore the regulator to actually do anything about it,” he said. “We saw this in Northern Gateway.” He says the ban on super tankers would be putting in to a law a motion he put forward in 2010. In terms of support, he thinks he has about half of the MPs on his side. “I think it’s 50/50 right now which doesn’t sound incredibly high but ... getting Conservatives
to vote for anything the Prime Minister doesn’t want them to is always an uphill battle,” he said. “I think I’ve got a fair chance at least having a conversation with those MPs.” Enbridge Northern Gateway spokesperson Ivan Giesbrecht said the company would not be impacted as the decisions on what products to ship is beyond the scope of their business as an energy transporter. “Market decisions on oil refining are beyond the scope of our business. Northern Gateway’s role is connecting supply with demand

safely and responsibly. We do not make the decisions on what product is transported, or where it is marketed,” he said. “There is tremendous demand in overseas markets for Canadian oil and Northern Gateway provides access to those markets so that we may see full value for our resource. That is good for all Canadians. Northern Gateway provides our customers an option should a refinery be built in Kitimat. Northern Gateway could also ship upgraded oil from Alberta. Northern Gateway could also ship a variety of refined products. The bottom line is Northern Gateway provides options — but it is important to note that in all cases, a pipeline is still required.” Meanwhile the proponent of an oil refinery in the Kitimat Valley, David Black (also the chairman of Black Press, which owns this newspaper), said this bill is exactly what’s needed. “On this particular point I think they’ve got the right idea,” he said. “As you know I got onboard with this project because I didn’t want to see [diluted] bitumen put in tankers. One little mistake at sea and we could destroy our coast for a long time, and the fishery.”
Burnaby
City can’t block Kinder Morgan: judge
THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A B.C. Supreme Court judge has dismissed the City of Burnaby’s attempt to block Kinder Morgan from conducting pipeline survey work on its land. The city asked the court for an injunction to keep the company from Burnaby Mountain, the preferred route for Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline. The city is opposed to the expansion of the pipeline that would link the Alberta oilsands to the company’s tanker terminal in Port Metro Vancouver. That opposition escalated when the company proposed tunnelling through Burnaby Mountain, home to Simon Fraser University and a large conservation area. The National Energy Board previously upheld the company’s right to access the land, under federal law. Earlier this month, Kinder Morgan asked the federal energy regulator to go further and forbid the city from obstructing crews.
Cowichan Valley
Drying river could impact pulp mill operations By Peter Rusland
Cowichan News Leader Pictorial
D-day for the drying Cowichan River could arrive as soon as Oct. 18. Unless significant rainfall happens in the next month, that is the projected date river flows will slow to a point unable to sustain operations at the Crofton mill. Numbers crunched by engineers Kerr Wood Leidal signal the arid river could hit zero storage at the bottom of Cowichan Lake’s weir at that point under current conditions and a current flow of 4.5 cubic metres per second, river conservationist Parker Jefferson said Tuesday. “If it goes to 4 CMS, Crofton
mill has to shut down, and that’s a big deal,” Jefferson said, noting 600-some jobs would be idle while Catalyst’s pulp-and-paper customers could look elsewhere. “We’re not exactly sure what will happen at zero storage. It’s uncharted territory.” Rain expected this week may push the closure date back, but both the Weather Network, and Chemainus’ volunteer weather observer Chris Carrs expect Thursday showers to be followed by sun and cloud into the weekend. Meanwhile, Cowichan Valley Regional District officials, and local conservationists, plan to trap and truck salmon upriver to spawn if flows hit the tipping point.

Columbia. Revelstoke city council gave approval to a development permit application that allows Tesla to build one of its Supercharging stations at the Best Western Plus Hotel in Revelstoke. “Tesla approached us and said Revelstoke was a perfect location,” said Brady Beruschi, the manager of the hotel. “They’re building their own little station and their going to run their own power supply.” Tesla is en emerging car company that builds electric vehicles. The charging station will include four stalls — two specifically for Tesla vehicles,
and two for any electric car. It will take up four parking spaces in a corner of the Best Western lot. The Supercharger stations provide 120 kilowatts of power and can recharge a Tesla’s battery to half capacity in 20 minutes. A Tesla Model S can travel about 425 kilometres at full charge. A Tesla spokesperson said the Revelstoke station is part of a network the company will be opening along the Trans-Canada Highway between Vancouver and Calgary. According to a map on the Tesla website, Supercharger stations are planned for Hope, Kamloops, Revelstoke, Golden and Banff.

‘Easy Rider’ motorcycle could fetch $1 million Toronto mayor diagnosed with rare cancer ROB FORD
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - The customized Captain America chopper Peter Fonda rode in “Easy Rider” has come to symbolize the counterculture of the 1960s. Now it’s for sale. The auction house Profiles in History told The Associated Press that it estimates the Harley-Davidson will bring $1 million to $1.2 million at its Oct. 18 sale being held online and at its galleries in Calabasas, California. The seller is Michael Eisenberg, a California businessman who once co-owned a Los Angeles motorcyclethemed restaurant with Fonda and “Easy Rider” co-star Dennis Hopper. Eisenberg bought it last year from Dan Haggerty, perhaps best known for his roles in the “Grizzly Adams” TV show and movies, who was in charge of keeping the customdesigned bike humming during the 1969 movie’s filming. The gleaming starsand-stripes panhead chopper with chromed hardtail frame is accompanied by three letters of authenticity. One is signed by the
National Motorcycle Museum, where it was displayed for 12 years. Another is from Fonda and a third from Haggerty. The bike features a forward-angled front wheel and handlebars, fishtail exhaust pipes and a teardrop-shaped gas tank where the protagonists stashed their cash. It was designed with input from Fonda who insisted on it being decorated with the American flag. “Easy Rider” is a classic road film about two drug-using, longhaired bikers, Wyatt (Fonda) and Billy (Hopper), who go on a cross-country odyssey to New Orleans in search of personal freedom and easy money. Four motorcycles were created for the movie, but only one is known to have survived. It was used in the climactic crash scene in which Fonda is thrown off the bike. “Three of the motorcycles were stolen, even before the movie was released, which was a sign of the overwhelming power that these motorcycles had,” said Haggerty. “They were never recovered.” After the film was
finished, Hopper told Haggerty to keep it. Haggerty rode it often, an experience he likened to “going out with Marilyn Monroe.” Parting with it was like having a “child finally getting married and moving away.” Eisenberg said he plans to donate “a significant amount” of the proceeds to the American Humane Association to honour Fonda’s involvement in the organization.
THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has been diagnosed with malignant liposarcoma - a rare cancer in which cancer cells are found in soft tissue in the body. Dr. Zane Cohen of Mount Sinai Hospital says the mayor will undergo chemotherapy. Dr. Cohen, who is an internationally recognized colorectal surgeon, says doctors will decide what the
next step will be based on how the tumour responds to treatment. Ford went to hospital last week complaining of “unbearable pain” and doctors found a tumour in his abdomen. The 45-year-old mayor, whose tenure has been marred by scandal and admitted substance abuse, then withdrew his candidacy for re-election, opting instead to run as a councillor in next month’s election.
His brother - Coun. Doug Ford - joined the mayoral race in his stead. The family is grate-
ful for the outpouring of support from the public for the mayor, who “is in for the fight of his life.”

Anatomy of a proposed Woodfibre LNG plant
I
magine: you’ve just come off a surprise election victory after promising voters a $100 billion ‘Prosperity Fund’ courtesy of royalties and taxes from an industry that doesn’t yet exist in B.C. and based on tax rates that still haven’t been set. The next election is in 2017. You suspect that voters might want to see a little something for all the hype before then, so what to do? Well, take one of the proposed projects and slam the pedal-to-the-metal. And by all accounts that project is the proposed Woodfibre LNG plant in Squamish. First step in the sprint to the finish line: demonstrate your commitment to the industry by clearing the path of anything that proponents might see as needless red tape. Streamline provincial environmental assessments by bringing about an agreement between B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office and the province’s Oil and Gas Commission to reduce duplication between the two offices for LNG projects and shorten assess-
ment timelines. Next up: bump the feds out of the picture by requesting a substitution of the B.C. environmental process on the Woodfibre project over the possibility of a second federal assessment as well. Then minimize the chance for any substantive public input on that request by seeking it over the Christmas holidays. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency issued its announcement regarding B.C.’s application on December 17, 2013. The public was given until January 6 to comment. Big surprise, the feds acquiesced to B.C.’s request two months later. But why Woodfibre? Well, they were fast off the mark. Back in January 2013, when the LNG industry was just a glimmer in the eyes of the B.C. government, Woodfibre LNG Ltd. signed a purchase agreement with Western Forest Products to acquire its Woodfibre site at an estimated price of $17 million. As might be expected of any company in the for-

estry industry, Western Forest Products is a faithful contributor to the B.C. Liberals. Since 2005, it has donated $289,070 to the party. Never gigantic contributions at any one time – most years their tithe was less than $20,000 – except for four of those years. In 2005, an election year, they doubled up and gave $43,990. In 2011, they gave $49,000, but that included four one-time cheques of $5,000 each to the leadership campaigns of Christy Clark, Kevin Falcon, George Abbott and Mike de Jong. And in 2012 they gave $28,100. But 2013 must have been a very good year, because they opened up the vault to fork over $108,000
to the Liberals. That’s more than the company gave in the six years from 2005 to 2010. And $90,000 of it was donated in May, including $2,000 to Mary Polak’s constituency association mere days before she was sworn in as B.C.’s Environment minister. Coincidentally – as a condition of the sale to Woodfibre LNG – Western Forest Products needs to remediate the site and obtain a certificate of compliance from B.C.’s Environment ministry. No certificate and the estimated $17 million sale risks falling apart. And therein lies the problem. With all the other full steam ahead decisions that have been made on the file, there will be some who may suspect – no matter how hard the government protests otherwise – that the donations from Western Forest Products were not coincidental. Particularly when their largesse is so tilted towards the governing party and only shifts with the polls. From 2012 to 2013, Western Forest Products gave $24,300 to the NDP.
While Mines minister Bill Bennett has argued that: “It’s really insulting for anybody to suggest that because we take donations from a group of corporations like the mining industry that we’re going to cut them a break,” others will beg to differ. In an August column in The Tyee – Think Political Donations Are Benign? – former Times Colonist editorial writer Paul Willcocks notes that “research has found 90 per cent of Canadians think people with money have a lot of influence over government.” Instead of its pedal-tothe-metal approach on Woodfibre, perhaps the government should have heeded the advice of Selina Lee-Andersen, a lawyer at McCarthy Tetrault, who last November wrote: “Given the myriad issues involved in getting an LNG project off the ground, the race to export LNG will need to be run as more of a marathon than a sprint to the finish line.” Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC.

My name is Bremen. I am nine-years-old and in grade four at St. Michael’s School. My Nana is helping me write this letter. Often we students must walk through the 5th street tunnel in East Trail in order to attend Mass or in the spring of each year, we go swimming. The problem is that the walls of the tunnel are covered with bad pictures and lots of ugly swear words. The first time I walked through the tunnel when I was in grade two, I was shocked. Now I just keep my head down and look at my shoes when I walk or I stare straight ahead and try to ignore the fact that they are there. At St. Michael’s we are taught to believe in God. I am not Catholic, but I believe in God and I am happy that we get to go to Mass. St. Michael’s teaches myself and the other students to love and appreciate God. How do you think it makes us feel when we are on our
way to worship God, only to be exposed to such terrible things? What about the younger children in our school, like when I was in grade two and attended St. Michael’s for the first time and saw those bad pictures and words? It is not fair that we children should have to put up with the vandalism (my nana’s word) of much older people, teenagers and perhaps even adults. We as students of St. Michael’s have the right to walk through the tunnel and not be afraid to look up. It makes me sad that I, like the rest of the children who belong to St. Michael’s, must hide our eyes in shame. I am hoping that this letter will reach the City of Trail workers and that they will repaint the walls of the tunnel and my Nana thinks the City should install a camera at each end to try to catch whoever is doing these crimes. These are crimes and should be taken seriously. We students of St. Michael’s, and all children who
belong to our community need to feel safe. The only other way we can avoid those ugly pictures and words is to cross the highway above instead. But there are safety issues concerning traffic. We are the children who belong to the community of Trail. Please help us to remain safe and enjoy our community. After all are we not becoming widely known as one of the top “Communities in Bloom?” My Nana says we need to bloom not only where people can see us but also in places that are not seen and used by our community members. It’s not all about gardens. What if we took those who come to see “Trail in Bloom” to view the walls of the 5th street tunnel. Are we not as important as these strangers? Come on Trail, let’s bloom in the tunnels as well. Thank you. Bremen Sims Trail
Abuse of pro-lifers unacceptable I was shocked to learn that on Sept. 10th, at the University of Victoria, two women rushed a pro-life club table at the University of Victoria, snatching the plastic fetal medical models on display and dumping used cat litter all over the table. Youth Protecting Youth (YPY) was participating in the university’s Clubs Day event and had a recruitment table to sign up new members and engage with other students on the pro-life issues. There were no photos depicting abortion… only molded plastic medical models which show human life at each month’s development. Although the plastic fetal models were recovered, club members arrived back the next morning to find that the vandals had broken into the club’s
room. More filthy litter had been dumped on the table and the fetal models - valued at several hundred dollars - had been stolen. When did universities stop being places where people can express their opinions and beliefs without such disrespectful opposition? This kind of criminal behavior has no place on a Canadian university campus. Locally, several years ago, similar plastic fetal models were on display at the Teddy Bear picnic and mothers would bring their young children to our pro life table to show the child how she, or the expected sibling, developed. However, despite praise given the table volunteers by those visiting the display, the Teddy Bear picnic
organizers banned future pro life participation as being too “controversial”. These same biases see mainstream media refusing to print press releases re: this act of vandalism and theft; so readers are denied freedom of information to learn about acts against people trying to educate and engage in peaceful debate. What message does this give to our youth? A civilized society permits education of how human babies develop and encourages calm debate. People who disagree with protecting preborn life should learn to voice their disagreement in a mature, respectful manner. Carol Albo Rossland Area Right to Life Society
Canada No. 1 in U.S. online survey
THE CANADIAN PRESS WASHINGTON - Canada, you’re apparently America’s sweetheart - or so says a new survey. When Americans were asked to rate their favourite nations, the cold country to the north elicited the warmest feelings. Conducted since 1974, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs survey asked respondents this year to rate their feelings for other countries with one being the coldest and 100 being the coziest. Canada came out with a top score of 79 per
cent. Britain was next, at 74 per cent. Germany, Japan and France all scored in the 60s, too. The U.S.’s other neighbour, Mexico, came in at 54 per cent. As for its other findings, the survey also suggests Americans strongly support freer trade, military interventions in humanitarian crises, a global climate treaty, and diplomacy with hostile countries like Cuba, Iran and North Korea. It also suggests Americans are fine with spying on hostile countries - but are equally deadset against spying on friends.

Muay Thai fighter notches 20th victory BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
Muay Thai fighter Charles Aaron Bisset won his 20th fight with a decisive knockout over Jason “The Wrench” Rzepka last month in Cali 5 at Hollywood Park Casino in Inglewood, Calif. The former Pride Gym fighter won by knockout after a devastating kick to the head sent the veteran of close to 40 fights to the mat in the third round of the five-round bout. The win was Bisset’s third over Rzepka, the previous two won by decisions, and his record improves to 20-5, 10 by knockout. The Retallick native returned to Trail and Pride Gym earlier this month to work out with Pride’s instructor Glen Kalesniko. “I remember when he first started, because he was a pretty big kid, he came in and he was only 12, but I thought he was 15 or 16,” said Kalesniko who trained Bisset for his first fight, a win over a 32-year-old fighter when Bisset was just 15. Pride Gym has produced over 20 champions and numerous world-class fighters, including Bisset who has won the National Muay Thai Canadian title, the North American Muay Thai cruiser weight championship,

number of hard knee strikes to the midsection while in the clinch. Bisset won the second round handily setting up the decisive third round. Early in the round, Rzepka exposed his face while in the clinch trying to tie up his opponent’s shoulder. Bisset pushed off and landed a hard elbow, and followed that up with series of elbows, that rattled the Fullerton, Calif. fighter. See BISSET, Page 10
B.V. NITEHAWKS
Rebels win in OT
BY TIMES STAFF The Beaver Valley Nitehawks have outshot opponents in all three of their games in the young KIJHL season, but are still searching for their first win after dropping a 4-3 double-overtime decision to the Castlegar Rebels on Tuesday night. With the score tied 3-3 in the second 3-on3 overtime, Aaron Petten notched his third goal on the night, beating Hawks goalie Carson Schamerhorn to give the Rebels their first victory of the season. It was another blow to a Hawks team that has controlled the flow of most games this season, but remain unrewarded for their efforts. Rossland’s Ross Armour got the Hawks on the board on the power play at 2:45 of the first, but Castlegar would tie it at 15:38 of the second period when Carson Wornig converted a nice passing play from Jeremy McNeil and Darren Medeiros. The Nitehawks Jacob Boyczuk put the Hawks in front on a shorthanded effort 66 seconds later, but the Rebels replied again with Aaron Petten netting two in a four minute span to give the Rebels a 3-2 lead heading into the third period. Both Petten’s goals were setup by veterans Bryan Lubin of Michigan and Castlegar native Diego Bartlett who is playing in his fifth season in the KIJHL with the Rebels. However, with time winding down the Rebels Ryan Teslak was sent off for boarding, and Armour would net his second of the night on the power play to tie the game with just 1:35 remaining in regulation. The Nitehawks outshot the Rebels 19-5 in the period and 54-28 overall, but Castlegar’s Patrick Zubick and Austin Wells were sharp in net for the Rebels. Schamerhorn took the loss in net for the home team, while defenceman Lyle Frank added two assists for the Hawks. Beaver Valley next hosts the Nelson Leafs on Friday at the Hawks’ Nest at 7:30 p.m.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE - This one goes a long way toward making up for all the losing seasons, the meaningless Septembers and meagre crowds at Camden Yards for the final games on the schedule. The Baltimore Orioles are AL East champions for the first time since 1997, and they marked the occasion with a celebration that lasted long after the final out of their clinching 8-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night. “There are some great moments in your life,” manager Buck Showalter said. “This ranks right up there.” Showalter arrived in 2010, in the midst of Baltimore’s 13th consecutive losing season.

Right fielder Nick Markakis began his career in 2006 and signed a six-year contract in 2009 in the midst of Baltimore’s run of losing seasons. Covered with champagne and grinning broadly, he wouldn’t have traded places with anyone. “It’s just a good feeling, an experience I’ll never forget,” he said. “To do it with these guys, it’s on a different level. It’s awesome and it’s one of the reasons why I wanted to be part of this team and this organization.” This is the earliest the Orioles have clinched the division title since 1971.

My sister knows how selfabsorbed my brother and his wife can be, but won’t intercede. We are good, decent people, and I don’t understand their behavior. They act like everything is fine and recently left a phone message for my birthday asking me to call them and let them know whether I’m coming to town. Should I speak my mind about this or let it go? -- Frustrated and
the other, the woman seemed confused before the accident, but refused to use the elevator. To complicate matters, her only identification was a receipt in her purse, so it took a while to find the man who had dropped her off. If anyone has a balance problem, uses a cane or walker, has their arms full or is carrying a toddler, etc., please use the elevator instead of the escalator. The few extra minutes are well worth it in order to avoid a horrifying accident. And please be sure to carry proper identification, including names and numbers to call in case of an emergency. -- Stunned Shopper in Shreveport, La. Dear Stunned: Too many people don’t realize (or won’t admit) they have a problem until something happens, and then, of course, it’s too late. People need to be able to hold onto the
railing of an escalator and watch their step getting on and off. If you aren’t sure you can do this, please take the elevator. Better safe than sorry. Dear Annie: My husband could have written the letter from “Heartbroken,” whose
wife never had time for him when they were younger, and now he’s not interested. I was a busy wife and mother and worked outside the home. I put everything before our relationship. We drifted apart and desperately needed couples
counseling. We found the best therapist in our area, and she put us back on track. We just took a cross-country trip in an RV and have developed the most loving relationship we’ve had in 40 years. I hope they give it a shot. -- J

Furious Dear Frustrated: The reason your brother acts like everything is fine is because he believes it is. He has no idea that he has hurt you. It is natural for you to be more sensitive to issues regarding your daughters than he is. This is not to excuse his lack of attention, only that we don’t believe it is deliberate, which means forgiveness is easier. Please talk to him without becoming angry. Gently explain that you are hurt when he completely ignores your children’s special occasions and makes you think he doesn’t care about them. We hope he’ll try harder.

2014 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.
Dear Annie: I am a 55-year-old woman, the youngest of three. When I married 30 years ago, we moved away for my husband’s job. Over the years, we have returned for summer visits, especially since our daughters are close in age to their cousins. We always have made it a priority to attend all important family events, often at great expense. Last year, we traveled to my niece’s destination wedding. But I was hurt that my niece did not ask either of my daughters to be in her wedding party. My brother and his wife (the parents of this bride) have ignored my younger daughter for the past couple of years. They don’t send her birthday or Christmas cards or presents, and totally skipped her recent college graduation. It’s not the money. They are quite wealthy and are generous with their

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Friday, Sept. 19, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You will pursue fun times and social occasions today. This is also a great day for sports events and playful times with children. Look for ways to express your creative talents! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You will enjoy putting effort into reorganizing things at home today. A female relative might help you do this. (Get as much done as possible.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your communication with others is proactive, strong and bold today. That’s why this is an excellent day for those of you who sell, market, teach, act or write for a living. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your concern about your possessions is strong today, which is why you will enjoy

cleaning or repairing something. You also might want to purchase something that pleases you. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The Moon is in your sign today, and strongly placed. That’s why you feel emotionally up and physically purposeful. Ask the universe for a favor because you might get it. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You have been strong and flamboyant lately, which is why you might want to pull in your reins today and take a rest. After all, you can’t be all things to all people all of the time. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A sense of competitiveness with a friend, perhaps a female, will be strong today. Naturally, you like to win, especially if people are watching. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You make a great
impression on others today, especially people in authority. Don’t hesitate to speak up, because this is the day to make your pitch. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Travel plans appeal to you today. Try to fly somewhere or perhaps have the pleasure of seeing those telephone poles going by. Either way, you want a change of scenery.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) If you have to divide something or share an inheritance today, you will be reasonable, yet you will defend your own best interests. This is a strong day for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Avoid jousting with others today, because you likely will lose. Just accept this, and gracefully give in.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You are proactive at work today, which is why you easily can delegate to others. Make a list of what you want to accomplish, and get down to it. YOU BORN TODAY You have good taste. You love beauty in your surroundings, your wardrobe and your style. Because you are well-organized, you know how to create an
