Facilities review rekindles big decisions
BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

As students file back into schools this week for another year of learning it will likely mark the back-to-school swan song for two School District 20 facilities slated for closure. Both Castlegar and Rossland are expected to be down one school after this year as the Kootenay Columbia’s board of trustees begins a facilities review this month that could trim two buildings—and possibly the administration’s own office—out of its 11-school inventory. During budget deliberations last spring the board passed a motion to undertake a facilities review in order to cover for yet another $600,000 budget funding shortfall. SD20 board chair Darrel Ganzert said the district does have a long list of cuts to look at that are not school closures before they get to that stage this fall, but the facilities review is inevitable. “We want to keep the school closures separate and do that, not for budgetary reasons, but for educational reasons to the extent we can,” he said during budget discussions. “It will be a lengthy process that we want public input on.” But dropping enrolments across the district have spelled the death of school buildings, and could claim two more. And with dropping enrolment comes a resultant drop in funding from the province, to the tune of $600,000 last year. As a small rural district the area needs more funding to deal with dropping enrolment after block funding was introduced five years ago, replacing per-student funding, said Trail trustee Mark Wilson. The board had written letters in the past to the Ministry of Education imploring them for the need for more money, he explained, to no avail. “But you know what? At the end of the day we have to manage our house. We have to tighten our house up. I don’t blame them for not giving us any more money,” Wilson said. He was adamant more should be done beyond the facilities review. He felt the board of nine should be cut to five trustees, and administration at the very top should be cut.

Council passed third reading of a bylaw to raise the business licence penalty for those merchants who have not paid for their business licence. Council voted to double the fine from $25 to $50 for the $90 annual business licence truancy. City corporate administrator Michelle McIsaac said the city can’t apply delinquent business licence fees against property taxes, nor can they shut a business down if they refuse to pay. Last month the city had sent letters to 13 Trail businesses who had not paid, asking them to do so or face the new fine. If that coercion is not effective, the city will take steps with a solicitor to determine a proper course of legal action. McIsaac noted that the business licence bylaw contained a whole section on revoking a licence, but if a business doesn’t have a valid licence to begin with municipal government cannot threaten to revoke a licence.
August deals up usual hot and dry weather BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
After two months of record-breaking rainfalls, a warm and dry August enveloped the Greater Trail region for the final leg of summer. The average high temperature was markedly higher on each day than normal, typically ranging at an average of 2.7 degrees warmer, resulting with a mean of 21 C, according to figures recently released for the region by the Southeast
Fire Centre in Castlegar. It was hot and it got hotter, said the centre’s meteorologist Ron Lakeman, thanks to a high pressure system. “High pressure is fairly common in the month of August and it definitely dominated through this past month,” he explained. “But there are indications of an El Niño developing.” An El Niño is a phenomenon associated with warmer than normal sea surface tem-
peratures close to Central America and it commonly produces milder than normal temperatures during the winter months here locally, he explained. The warmest temperature in August was a whopping 36.8 C on the afternoon of Aug. 19, nearing the region’s record high of 40 C during 1967. And it was dry, the second driest August on record. The total rainfall was only five per
cent normal for the month, a repeat of 2011 where only 3.2 millimetres of precipitation was recorded during the entire month of August. Only 2mm of measurable rain fell in August, bested only by 1967’s record of a “trace” of precipitation. There were only two days in the last month that saw any moisture fall. Lakeman hinted that September should also remain on the warm and dry side due to the influence of the El Niño.

The play: Declarer loses the king of diamonds on the opening lead and East exits with the queen of spades. West wins the ace and returns a spade. Declarer is ahead of the defense because of the diamond lead and pitches a spade on the good queen of diamonds. Leading small from a jack fourth or jack fifth, as seen here, is a poor lead. South loses one spade, two hearts, one diamond and a club. If declarer were to lose two spades, he would only lose one heart. Defense cannot do everything.

Birds of prey set to land at Golden City Days BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
For the first time ever, a traveling science tour will take flight through the Kootenay Boundary region. A free-event offers people of all ages the opportunity to meet “Lil’ Dude” the American Kestrel and “Mickey” the Harris Hawk through Raptors Ridge, a family-run wildlife conservation program based out of Maple Ridge. “I see this as a family event for the community,” said Erin Handy, program coordinator at KAST. “It’s something you can do with your kids and it’s educational, but it’s still fun.” The Kootenay Association for Science and Technology (KAST) teamed up with Rossland’s Golden City Days to diversify
the annual fall fair, along with two other unique events through Growing and Learning Opportunities With Science (GLOWS). The group invited two professional bird handlers from Raptors Ridge to the area next weekend and will be exhibiting birds of prey in Grand Forks at the Fall Fair on Sept. 7, Rossland’s Golden City Days on Sept. 8 and at the HIlls Garlic Festival in New Denver on Sept.9. “Science is not an intimidating thing,” Handy explained “It’s all around us and learning about science is important.” Each event includes lectures about how to identify different species of birds, what they eat and how their roles influence our eco-system and agriculture.
“We called a lot of people, but Karen had the highest degree of enthusiasm,” Handy noted, alluding to Raptor’s Ridge co-founder Karen Kamstra. Raptors Ridge Birds of Prey is a unique family business that boasts a professional conservation centre providing care for birds of prey in a natural habitat. It includes interactive workshops and public educational programs at its Maple Ridge facility, and at the Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver. But Kamstra always had a high regard for feathery friends and with the help of her family, she rescued roughly 30 raptors and transformed the family’s home into Raptors Ridge Birds of

Prey. “We aim to promote an exciting educational experience giving an opportunity to learn, develop and acquire a fuller understanding of ecological interaction between humans and birds of prey,” Kamstra
said. But flat-footed Rosslanders can celebrate Golden City Days in other ways. Rossland will be celebrating 40 years of community spirit with a series of cool events scheduled to take
place between Sept. 7 and 9. Highlights of the weekend include the fall fair, a pancake breakfast, children’s games, a climbing wall, roller derby, food and craft vendors, the Golden City Grind and a parade.

School reconfiguration also considered by board FROM PAGE 1 “We can make those cuts but we’ve chosen not to,” he said after the board’s last budget was passed in May. “And the reason we’ve chosen not to is that we have had a real political board here.” In May a motion was passed to consider possible reconfiguration or closure of Castlegar area schools with a decision to be made by Dec. 31, 2012 and implementation in September, 2013. Included in the consultations, but not limited to, are making Twin Rivers Elementary School kindergarten to Grade 7 and closing Castlegar Primary School, or combining Twin Rivers Elementary School and Castlegar Primary School to be one school with two physical campuses. In addition the board will consider possible reconfiguration or closure of Rossland schools with a decision to be made by Dec. 31, 2012 and implementation in September, 2013. The board will look at mak-
ing Rossland Secondary School (RSS) kindergarten to Grade 12 and close MacLean Elementary, or make RSS kindergarten to Grade 9, close MacLean, and send RSS grade 10-12 students to J.L. Crowe Secondary in Trail. The board could also make MacLean kindergarten to Grade 7, close RSS, and send RSS grade 8-12 students to J.L. Crowe. Under the new funding formula from the province schools that are not maximized are bleeding money from the district, said Wilson. He said a kindergarten to Grade 12 school for Rossland made sense. If the board had addressed that situation years ago the district would not be in the budget shortfall position they are in. Instead, he said, the cuts for the last three years have been to services, to the teachers, and to the quality of education. One year ago he sent a letter, supported by two other trustees, to the Ministry of Education ask-
ing that the entire board be fired. “We were not doing our jobs. The ministry would not touch the issue,” he said. “At one time it paid to put buildings ahead of jobs, but not now.” Kootenay Columbia Teachers Union president Andy Davidoff said he expected the board will be cutting teachers again— two teacher-librarians and almost eight teachers—to save $4-500,000 in salaries next year because “they have not put on their list sufficient reconfigurations and such. “We are not advocating for school closures, that is not what we are saying,” he explained, “but there are options that they don’t even have on the table to consider.” Like the board office. Wilson wondered why SD20 had to rent a board office when there were vacant buildings across the district, pointing to Trail Middle School as the most likely spot for moving the office.
As well, one of the school district’s maintenance shops in Waneta is still owned by the district but is currently rented out after district maintenance was centralized and moved to Castlegar. Wilson said the facilities review will also call into question the future of Trail Middle School— currently housing around 200 alternative education students. “We have to tighten up our facility rope instead of just cutting services all of the time,” he said. “If we can do that, we can avoid cuts to the services and, ultimately, the students.” The facilities review made perfect sense to Ministry of Education spokesperson Scott Sutherland. “If you look at SD20 … you have 1,600 fewer students, how many fewer schools do you have? How many fewer teachers do you have?” he said. In 2000-2001 Kootenay Columbia was a school district that had nearly 5,600 students.
It is estimated that, next year, for the fourth year in a row, it will have less than 4,000—a decline of 30 per cent. Enrolment has been declining steadily for the last decade while, over the same period, operating funding has gone up and down until about 2007/08 when SD20 became eligible for funding protection. The protection meant the level of provincial funding stayed the same as enrolment dropped. However, because so many districts have seen declining enrolment, funding protection was getting to be a bit of a burden on the province. So it was decided, in consultation with school districts, that last year funding limits would have to be scaled back—with 1.5 per cent the most a district could lose from their budget. From 2000-2001 to 2012-2013 the per pupil funding in the Kootenay Columbia has gone from a little over $6,800 per pupil to over $9,000 per year (estimated), said Sutherland.

PROVINCIAL PADDLING PROTEST
Human Rights Tribunal accepts smart meter complaint THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - B.C.’s Human Rights Tribunal has accepted a complaint from a group that accuses BC Hydro of discriminating against people with certain medical conditions and disabilities. The group, known as Citizens for Safe Technology, says it does not want smart metres installed. It says its members have electromagnetic hypersensitivity or other disabilities and doctors have advised them to avoid wireless technology. The group says it has contacted BC Hydro about its concerns, and claims the utility did not accommodate its request for wired meters instead. BC Hydro says the complaint does not qualify as a human rights violation and accuses the group of lobbying on behalf of health preferences and for political motivations. The company has said the smart metres are an essential upgrade that will improve public safety and monitoring of electricity consumption. Although the Tribunal has approved the complaint, it says the types of disabilities and medical conditions claimed to be affected by smart metres must to be narrowed before the case can proceed.

VANCOUVER The Vancouver Police Department has tracked down three people in the U.S. suspected of taking part in the June 2011 Stanley Cup riot. The suspects are in Washington, Alaska and one is believed to be in Illinois. A Canada-wide warrant for participation in a riot and other charges has been issued for their arrests, said
Vancouver Police Constable Brian Montague. “All three are aware that there is warrant out for them right now,� said Montague. He added the suspects were told of the warrant by their local police and know they will be arrested if they try to enter in to Canada. Two of the suspects are Americans, but one is a Canadian citizen from Vancouver

believed to be studying in the U.S. An application to U.S. authorities for extradition is being considered, but has not officially been filed, said Montague. “That’s something that crown counsel has to make the decision on, they have certain criteria regarding extradition,� he explained. A handful of people have been sentenced for their role in the riot
that erupted after the Vancouver Canucks lost game seven of the Stanley Cup final to the Boston Bruins on June 15, 2011. The Crown has laid more than 300 charges against 100 people since the 2011 riot. But, authorities predict they will have laid more than 700 charges against upwards of 225 people by the time they are finished with the case.

New drunk driving penalties begin THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON Alberta drivers who already face stiffer administrative penalties for drunk driving can now also get hit with longer licence suspensions for driving close to the legal limit. On Saturday, new penalties kicked in for those who are below the legal limit of .08 but above .05 - a level the province still considers unsafe. Those who are pulled over and blow within that window in a roadside screening device will have their vehicles impounded for three days and their licences suspended for three days as well. Those penalties increase for sub-
sequent offences. “(The numbers) suggest to me that people are not getting the message on impaired driving,” said Transportation Minister Ric McIver in an interview. “We’re going to be monitoring the enforcement results to see if we’re getting more or fewer impaired drivers.” The changes are the second of a twostage modification to Alberta’s traffic safety laws aimed at cracking down further on drunk drivers. Penalties have already been boosted for those who drive over the legal limit, which is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres

new drivers with graduated licences. The Criminal Trial Lawyers Association has said it’s concerned about the fairness of indefinite suspensions, given that it can take months for cases to come to trials. That may be an unfair inducement to get the accused driver to plead guilty just to be able to drive again. McIver said the indefinite suspension is designed to send a tough message. Government lawyers advise it will survive a court challenge. He said there are no plans to revisit the law, but said officials will be monitoring the arrests on an ongoing basis to see what’s working.

Charest argued the opposite: a vote for any party but the Liberals would lead to economic and political instability. The premier has framed this election as a choice between “stability and job creation” and “referendums and the streets,” a reference to the near-daily student protests over tuition increases last spring. However, the student protests have mostly wound down and the issue hardly made news during the campaign. Coalition Leader Francois Legault, meanwhile, toured the hotly contested ridings north and south of Montreal, hammering away at his message of change. “We will clean up government, we will clean up the bureaucracy,” he said at a news conference, flanked by star candidate Jacques Duchesneau, a former police chief and anti-corruption whisteblower.

But as of July 1, their vehicles have been impounded for three days and, more importantly, their driver’s licences have been suspended indefinitely until their cases are resolved in the courts. Preliminary numbers released this week by the province show that over the summer 994 Alberta drivers had their licences suspended pending criminal proceedings while 632 had vehicles seized.

MONTREAL - The last time Quebec had a sovereigntist government the invasion of Iraq had just gotten under way and there was a frantic international search for Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. Now Quebec voters will head to the ballot box Tuesday after 3,416 days of relative quiet on the national-unity front, with indications of that silence being shattered as polls point to the pro-independence Parti Quebecois being restored to power. The final result, however, is far from certain given the potential for three-way vote splits that only compound unknown quantities like late shifts in voter sentiment and the strength of each party’s get-out-thevote operation. Party leaders made a last pitch to voters on the final day of the campaign Monday, driving home their key messages.

Trying to separate the oil from the manure
I
was as surprised as anyone to hear about the plan by this newspaper’s owner, David Black, to begin regulatory work on an oil refinery for Kitimat. I’ll leave it to others to comment on the practicality of that plan, and whether it would make the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project more acceptable to B.C.’s government and population. Black Press news coverage, columns, letters to the editor and other reader comments are not affected by this project, and there has been a range of views expressed already. Whatever the merits of the refinery idea, it has advanced the debate over pipelines and the place of oil in our society. And that’s a good thing, because as someone with a basic knowledge of chemistry and some experience in oil refining, I have noticed a lot of ignorance about the subject.
Today I’d like to address some of the main misconceptions, which have been exploited by some opponents. The first one is oil pollution in general and how it gets into the environment. A global study by the Smithsonian Institution in 1995 calculated the amount of oil making its way into oceans this way: Big tanker spills accounted for 37 million gallons a year, about five per cent of the total marine oil pollution identified. By far the largest source was oil runoff from land into drains, from oil changes, municipal and industrial wastes and other sources: 363 million gallons. Bilge cleaning and other routine ship maintenance added 137 million gallons, four times the tanker spill average. Air pollution from vehicles and industry deposited hydrocarbon particles equal to another 97 million gallons; natur-

FLETCHER B.C. Views al seeps added 62 million gallons; offshore drilling discharges accounted for 15 million gallons. So that’s the first thing to understand. It’s not tankers and pipelines doing most of the polluting. It’s you and me. Then there is the propaganda about greenhouse gas emissions from the oil sands crude. Actor Robert Redford is one of the highest-profile pitchmen for the false notion that “tar sands” oil generates three times the greenhouse gases as conventional oil.
The facts are clear. The most widely cited source is a graph prepared by Cambridge Energy Research Associates, which shows that 75 per cent of greenhouse gases from all types of crude occur when the gasoline, jet fuel and diesel are burned by the end user. Yes, there are variations in emissions on the remaining quarter. Emissions from mined oil sands crude are slightly higher than steam extraction, which is slightly higher than conventionally drilled and pumped crude. The most greenhouse gas-intensive crude used in North America is California heavy crude, which is conventionally drilled. Burning coal produces far more greenhouse gases than oil, as University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver has calculated. Two U.S. environmental groups, including the one fronted by Redford,
have lately been promoting a study that suggests oil sands crude is more corrosive to pipelines. False, says the industry, showing analysis of pipes that have carried diluted bitumen for decades. The Trans-Mountain pipeline has been carrying crude from Alberta to Burnaby and Washington state for more than 60 years. It has periodically carried heavy crude for 40 years, and diluted bitumen for 25 years. Some of that crude is refined in Washington and the gasoline and diesel barged up to supply B.C. gas stations. And of course Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and all other B.C. islands depend on marine fuel shipments. And let’s not forget the most common heavy oil used in B.C. It’s called asphalt.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - The fright film “The Possession” has scared up a No. 1 debut with $17.7 million from Friday to Sunday over the long Labor Day holiday weekend. The Lionsgate release led the last weekend of a fairly quiet season for Hollywood, with attendance down 4 per cent from summer 2011, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. Opening in second-place with $9.7 million was the Weinstein Co. bootlegging drama “Lawless,” starring Shia LaBeouf. “The Expendables 2” pulled in $8.8 million, falling to No. 3 after two weekends as the top draw at theatres. Expanding to more theatres, the anti-Barack Obama documentary “2016: Obama’s America” added to its haul as a surprise mini-hit leading up the presidential election. “Obama’s America” was No. 9 with $5.1 million, raising its domestic total to $18.3 million.

governments favoured two companies and their staff at the expense of other automotive companies, their employees and also and especially – taxpayers. (On income tax alone, 16.2 million people paid income tax that year.) The two governments should have favoured no one. Lastly, ponder the dairy and poultry aisles in your local grocery store: Canadian consumers are subject to “supply management” boards (also known as marketing boards), which limit the supply of eggs, chicken, turkey and dairy products. Efforts to establish such boards date back as far as 1872, when attempts were made to “improve” prices for farmers and other producers. That was an “improvement” from the producers’ perspective, but not for consumers. The first official marketing board was established in British Columbia in 1927. Ever since, and in various iterations, and especially since the 1970s, such anti-consumer boards have been given powers over supply, pricing, controls on imports and subsidies to producers (which is where taxpayers get roped in). So supply is restricted within Canada. Meanwhile, foreign products are kept out by high tariffs, such as on dairy products which range from 202 per cent (skim milk) to 298 per cent (butter) with cheese, yogurt, ice cream and regular milk within that range. So next time you hear people debate whether labour or business should win in some dispute or in a proposed government policy, the correct answer is: “neither.” The interests of millions of consumers and taxpayers should come first. Mark Milke is with the Fraser Institute and author of several studies on consumer choice and corporate welfare.
PQ prospect should get Ottawa’s attention An editorial from the Toronto Star Here we go again. Across Canada people are bracing for the nettlesome prospect that the Parti Quebecois may emerge as the default winner in Quebec’s provincial election, and could soon be back to its old games. PQ Leader Pauline Marois appears to be reaping the benefit of a split in the federalist vote, as voters forsake Jean Charest’s long-ruling Liberals for Francois Legault’s fledgling Coalition Avenir Quebec. With just days to go before Tuesday’s election, polls suggest a PQ win seems the likely outcome. The irony isn’t lost on Quebecers: Recent surveys put the PQ at about 33 per cent support, while the Liberals and CAQ combined pulled in roughly 55 per cent. People may end up with the sovereigntist government most of them don’t want.
Even so, many soft nationalist voters are gravitating to CAQ out of sheer frustration with Charest’s tired, nine-year-old, scandal-tainted government. They’ll get change, though not the kind of change many might prefer. The prospect of a PQ win, even a narrow minority one, ought to focus minds in Ottawa. Given the sheer volatility of the Quebec electorate, even diehard PQ militants aren’t claiming victory yet. Still, prudence suggests Canada’s major federal parties should steel themselves for an unsettling result. One lesson from Quebec’s 1995 referendum on separation, which the sovereigntists came that close to winning, is that federalists can’t afford to let them frame the terms of the debate. That’s just what Marois hopes to do. She flatly wants “to put Quebec back on the road to sov-
ereignty.” She intends to pick fights with Ottawa over unemployment insurance and other issues to help create “winning conditions” for another referendum, possibly if as little as 15 per cent of the population petition for one. And she has spent the campaign stoking the divisive identity debate and language wars of the past. Prominent figures in Canada’s capital should be prepared to speak for the federalist majority in Quebec, and to the value of federalism itself. Certainly that’s what Canadians expect. As prime minister, Harper has the lead role. But given the Tories’ weakness in Quebec he would be wise to cultivate a cross-party meeting of the minds with the opposition to ensure that Ottawa’s answer to the challenges a Marois government might pose is clear, forceful and unified.

PEOPLE HAL DAVID
CHINESE HUNGRY GHOST FESTIVAL
Writer penned timeless songs THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - Hal David was a man of simple words. A writer by trade - and a journalist by education - David had a knack for encapsulating love, earnestness and a wry sense of humour into a melody that was just a few minutes long. “Wishin’ and Hopin’,” the 1960s earworm he wrote with Burt Bacharach, was a rhyming how-to for gals looking to snag a man. With a wink, it snagged a new generation of fans when it opened the 1997 Julia Roberts film “My Best Friend’s Wedding.” Through theatre, film and TV, David’s songs transcended the time to become classics. With Bacharach, he was one of the most successful songwriting teams in modern history. The 91-year-old, who died Saturday of complications from a stroke four days earlier
in Los Angeles, “always had a song in his head,” said his wife, Eunice David. Bacharach and David’s hits included “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head,” “(They Long to Be) Close to You” and “That’s What Friends Are For.” But the collaboration for which they were best known came in 1962, when they began writing for a young singer named Dionne Warwick. Warwick’s versatile voice could convey the emotion of David’s lyrics and handle the changing patterns of Bacharach’s melodies. Together the trio created a chain of hits: “Don’t Make Me Over,” ”Walk On By,“ ”I Say a Little Prayer,“ ”Do You Know the Way to San Jose,“ ”Always Something There to Remind Me“ (which later was a hit for the 1980s synth pop band Naked Eyes), among others.

Sunday. The Hungry Ghost Festival is celebrated during the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar, when prayers are offered to the dead and offerings of food and paper-made models of items such as televisions, refrigerators and sport cars are burnt to appease the wandering spirits. It is believed that the gates of hell are opened during the month and the dead ancestors return to visit their relatives.
Actor starred in ‘Green Mile’ Self-proclaimed messiah founded Unification Church REV. SUN MYUNG MOON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - Michael Clarke Duncan’s fiancee says the Oscar nominee for “The Green Mile” has died while being hospitalized following a July heart attack. Publicist Joy Fehily released a statement from Clarke’s fiancee, the Rev. Omarosa Manigault, saying the 54-year-old actor died Monday morning in a Los Angeles hospital after nearly two months MICHAEL of treatment following the CLARKE DUNCAN July 13 heart attack. The 6-foot-5, 300 pound Duncan appeared in dozens of films, including such box office hits as “Armageddon,” ”Planet of the Apes“ and ”Kung Fu Panda,“ Duncan had a handful of minor roles before “The Green Mile” brought him an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor. The 1999 film, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, starred Tom Hanks as a corrections officer at a penitentiary in the 1930s. Duncan played John Coffey, a convicted murderer.
GAPYEONG, South Korea - The Rev. Sun Myung Moon was a self-proclaimed messiah who built a global business empire. He called both North Korean leaders and American presidents his friends, but spent time in prisons in both countries. His followers around the world cherished him, while his detractors accused him of brainwashing recruits and extracting money from worshippers. These contradictions did nothing to stop the founder of the Unification Church from turning his religious vision into a worldwide movement and a multibilliondollar corporation stretching from the Korean Peninsula to the United States. Moon died Monday at a church-owned hospital near his home in Gapyeong County, northeast of Seoul, two weeks after being hospitalized with pneumonia, Unification Church spokesman Ahn Ho-yeul told The Associated Press. Moon’s wife and children were at his side, Ahn said. He was 92. The church will hold a 13-day mourning period beginning Monday and start accepting mourners Thursday at a multi-
purpose gym at its nearby religious centre, the church said in a statement. The funeral will be held Sept. 15, and Moon will be buried at nearby Cheonseung Mountain, where his home is located, the statement said. Moon founded his Bible-based religion in Seoul in 1954, a year after the Korean War ended, saying Jesus Christ personally called on him to complete his work. The church gained fame - and notoriety - by marrying thousands of followers in mass ceremonies presided over by Moon himself. The couples often came from different countries and had never met, but were matched up by Moon in a bid to build a multicultural religious world. Today, the Unification Church has 3 million followers, including 100,000 members in the U.S., and has sent missionaries to 194 countries, Ahn said. But ex-members and critics say the figure is actually no more than 100,000 members worldwide. The church’s holdings include the Washington Times newspaper; the New Yorker Hotel, a midtown Manhattan art
deco landmark; and a seafood distribution firm that supplies sushi to Japanese restaurants across the U.S. It gave the University of Bridgeport $110 million over more than a decade to keep the Connecticut school operating. It acquired a ski resort, a professional football team and other businesses in South Korea. It also operates a foreignowned luxury hotel in North Korea and jointly operates a fledgling North Korean automaker. The church has been accused of using devious recruitment tactics and duping followers out of money. Parents of followers in the United States and elsewhere have expressed worries that their children were brainwashed into joining. The church has pointed out that many new religious movements faced similar accusations in their early years. Moon’s followers were often called “Moonies,” a term many found pejorative. Moon was born in 1920 in a rural part of what is today North Korea. He said he was 16 when Jesus Christ first appeared to him and told him to finish the work he had begun on Earth 2,000 years earlier.

Smokies shine in final exhibition game Trail beats Merritt 8-3 in lone pre-season appearance on home ice BY GUY BERTRAND Times Staff
It was the one chance the Trail Smoke Eaters had to impress the local fans in preseason and the team didn’t disappoint. The Smokies’ offence came to life in the team’s one-andonly home exhibition as they pounded the Merritt Centennials 8-3 on Saturday in front of a few loyal supporters. “We wanted to put a good show on and get the buzz going around town,” said head coach and general manager Bill Birks. It was Trail’s first win in four exhibition games. The Smokies lost back-to-back games against Prince George early last week and fell 4-2 in Merritt last Friday. But preseason is for growing and the Smokies showed signs of sprouting a potent offence on Saturday. “Those three games on the road we had lots of young kids in the lineup on all three nights,” said Birks. “They battled hard but the puck luck wasn’t there.” He said the lineup was pretty much wahat fans will see when the team plays its first regular season game at the Cominco Arena on Sept. 21. “It was close. There were a few kids that weren’t in there but for the most part it was probably two or three kids short of what we’re going to go with.” Garrett McMullen led Trail with three goals and four points while linemates Scott Davidson and Brent Baltus collected nine assists between the two of them. Djorde Leposavic added two goals to the team’s total. “I’m pretty happy with the way we started,” explained Birks.

The Trail Smoke Eaters finished the preseason on a high note with an 8-3 win over the Merritt Centennials Saturday night at the Cominco Arena. Above and clockwise; Trail goaltender Braeden Krogfoss gets across the crease to foil a wrap-around attempt by a Merritt forward. Trail native Scott Davidson, who has been a standout in camp, picked up five points Saturday night. “We had a little lull, but the veteran guys that we brought in and the ones we got back from last year that are now veteran guys, they really stepped it up.
“We wanted to put on a good show and get the buzz going around town.” BILL BIRKS
Merritt held a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes but the Smokies caught fire in the second highlighted by McMullen’s shorthanded tally in the final minute to vault them into a 4-2 lead. Four unanswered goals in the final 20 minutes wrapped up Trail’s exhibition season on a winning note. Goaltenders Lyndon Stanwood and Braeden Krogfoss
split the duties with Krogfoss keeping the Cents off the board in his 30 minutes of work. But while the exhibition season officially ended for Trail, the work got a lot tougher for Birks who faced the unenviable task of releasing players on Sunday. “I hate that part of the job,” he admitted. “It’s the worst part.” Birks released four players – Rossland’s Archie McKinnon, who Birks is hoping to enlist as an affiliate player, Kyle Clayton, Justin McGaughey, Hunter Jenerou – to leave the team at 23 players, one over the 22-player roster limit. And while releasing players always cast a pall over camp, certainly the performance of a trio of local products has generated a lot of enthusiasm. Davidson, Jake Lucchini and Mitch Foyle, all earned raved reviews from Birks as well as spots on the
2012-13 roster. “I’m pretty excited about the local talent we have,” he said. “Scott Davidson was unreal all preseason. He’s the full package. “Lucchini battled hard and deserves a spot for sure. He was our best player by a mile on Friday in Merritt. “And Mitch, who played with us last year, is still young but he played very well.” Davidson, who has been nothing short of stellar during camp, admitted he’s surprise at how he’s been able to adapt to the BCHL style. “It’s definitely a step up,” he said, adding playing on a line with veterans McMullen and Baltus really helped. Davidson said Saturday’s game, his first in a Smokies’ jersey at the Cominco Arena, was special. “It’s exciting to be playing in front of friends in my hometown.”
Lucchini agreed there were some pre-game jitters on Saturday. “It was pretty nerve wracking. The game is so much more hightempo.” Lucchini said he focused on working hard every shift and doing the little things right to get the coaches’ attention. He did and now he’s on the Smokies roster.
“I’m very pleased about that.” Birks added that players such as Adam Wheeldon, Brendon Heinrich and Joren Johnson all hail from the West Kootenay and give the Smokies good regional representation. Next up for the team is a trip to Chilliwack for the BCHL Showcase tournament, which opens
the regular season next weekend. Trail faces Cowichan Valley on Saturday and Merritt on Sunday. The Smokies also play in Prince George Sept.14 and Merritt Sept. 15 before finally returning to the friendly confines of the Cominco Arena for the regular season home opener on Sept. 21 versus the West Kelowna Warriors.

NEW YORK - Labour peace appears to remain elusive for the NHL. Collective bargaining negotiations between the league and NHL Players’ Association were placed on hold Friday, leaving the sport on course for its fourth work stoppage in the past two decades. With a Sept. 15 deadline looming for a lockout, the sides have a sizable gap to make up and no scheduled meetings. “We’ll be prepared to resume when they are,� said Donald Fehr, the NHLPA’s executive director. “Hopefully, that won’t be too long.� Gary Bettman made it clear that he believes it is up to the union to make the next move. The NHL commissioner was expecting Fehr to table a counter-proposal on Friday, but instead was presented with a series of alternative options that could be applied to the fourth year of the NHLPA’s original offer. That prompted

Bettman to conclude that a week which began with promise ended in “disappointment.� On Tuesday, the NHL presented a proposal for a six-year deal that would see players receive 46 per cent of revenues - a US$460million improvement from its initial offer of 43 per cent. However, the union argued that negotiations should instead be measured from the current position of 57 per cent. Bettman felt the NHLPA had “stonewalled� the process by failing to produce a counter-proposal and indicated that they would need to be ready to do that for talks to resume. “Somebody needs to be in a position to offer or say something new,� said Bettman. “And considering that we made such a large move on Tuesday, to have gotten the response that we got is disappointing. “We’re not in a position to go back and offer more and negotiate against ourselves.�

LEISURE
Don’t vilify liberal in-laws’ behaviour Dear Annie: My husband and I are trying to raise our three children in a traditional, conservative environment, but my in-laws undermine our values. We recently went on a cruise with them, along with my husband’s brother and niece and her live-in boyfriend. At one point, my oldest daughter didn’t feel well, so I took her back to the cabin for a couple of hours. When we found the rest of the family, they were having a drinkfest right in front of our 14-year-old daughter and 12-yearold son. Not only that, but they were buying alcohol for the niece and her boyfriend, both of whom are under 21. From the looks of the empties on the table, this had been going on for the entire two hours. Most of them were drunk. Mind you, my husband was taking part, as well, which infuriated me. But I was even angrier with my mother-in-law, because
ANNIE’S
MAILBOX
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
I feel that women should be protectors of their children and grandchildren, instead of enablers. My mother-in-law even made a point to tell our daughters that the niece had been living with her boyfriend for more than a year, which seemed to put her stamp of approval on the arrangement. My kids didn’t know this, nor did they need to. They don’t live near their cousin. My mother-in-law is well aware of the values we teach, but if I say anything, she says I’m judging her and being disrespectful. We spent very little time with the family for the rest of the trip
because they wanted to party and we wanted a more wholesome environment. How do we handle this type of situation when it comes up again? -- Kids First Dear Kids: Please understand that you cannot control what other people do, only how you respond. You also cannot control every environment, so use these situations as learning experiences. Talk to your kids calmly about what’s going on and how you feel about it. Don’t vilify your inlaws, but be prepared for their continued inappropriate behavior. Your kids undoubtedly will encounter other such situations when you are not around, and the hope is that they will remember the good judgment and values you have taught them. And please stop blaming your mother-in-law. Your husband should have been the protector of his own children. Dear Annie: My wife’s uncle had a
laryngectomy a few years ago. He now breathes through the stoma in his throat and also discharges phlegm through it. He doesn’t cover the opening with mesh. I hate to sound uncaring, but he constantly coughs into a tissue that he then lays on our countertops, dining room table or wherever else. This is not only unsanitary, but gross. When he leaves, we have to use antibacterial wipes on everything he touched. If we were to say anything to him about this, he would be upset and probably not speak to us again. We are running out of excuses to avoid his visits and hope he reads your column and makes the connection. -- Germ Concerned Dear Germ: Someone who uses a tissue to expel anything should not leave it around, especially on a surface where food is served or where others
have to dispose of it. This is simple courtesy. The next time your uncle visits, discreetly place a small wastebasket near him “for his convenience.” Dear Annie: This is in response to “Disappointed in Ohio,”
whose girls’ group was resentful when one of the women began to bring along her new husband. I once belonged to such a group of retired women, which we named the “Silver Belles.” The time came
when the husbands also retired, and sometimes, one of us would ask to bring our husband along. Instead of resenting it, we welcomed them and began to call our group the “Silver Belles and Beaus.” -Chatsworth, Calif.

Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel—RCMP will be out in force this month cracking down on distracted drivers. From Sept. 1-30 the West Kootenay Traffic Services and the Integrated Road Safety Unit will be patrolling West Kootenay roads and join a province-wide enforcement campaign to focus on unfocused drivers, as well as occupant restraint (seat belts). That means the boys in blue will help you part with your hard earned cash if you choose to ignore a few of the rules of the road and instead operate above the law. “Occupant restraints include the use of seat belts, child seats and having more passengers in a vehicle than the number of seat belts,� said RCMP Sgt. Derek Donovan. The focus on the distracted drivers will be by the use of electronic distracting devices defined as a cell phone, or a handheld electronic device capable of transmitting email or other text-based message.
