Bags of Love eases hard transition BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
If you could package up love and hand it over it would probably look like this. It’s colourful, hand-sewn, grab bag of every essential a young person could want— from toys to toiletries, a handmade comforter to stuffed animals—and it comes at a much needed time. For the first time, Bags of Love are being lovingly assembled in Trail for children in transition who have had their lives uprooted by extenuating circumstances, and are in need of a little comfort. Under the Bags of Love program run out of the Trail Seventh Day Adventist Church, the first 10 bags will be given out to foster children in the West Kootenay area next week. “Children in transition are often not able to take personal belongings with them,” said Sharon Jackson, the coordinator for the Trailbased program. “But Bags of Love helps ease the transition by providing items of comfort that they can call their very own.” Started in 2005 in Kentucky, It’s My Very Own/ Bags of Love now has chapters all over the U.S., with Trail being one of three in Western Canada. The Trail chapter is relatively new, said Jackson, and has only been in existence since June, 2012. Already, handmade bags have been

As well, the group has received some love from the Trail Shoppers Drug Mart with donations of personal care items, and the Sugar Shack Quilting with donations of material and handles for bags. The contents of the bags are very basic, but special, Jackson noted: a kid-sized handmade comforter, a soft cuddly toy, personal care
items (comb, hairbrush, toothbrush, toothpaste), two toys for young children and age appropriate items for older children. “It warms the heart to see a smile on a child’s face when they are given something they can call their very own,” Jackson explained. Plus the bags that are collected in the area are distributed and stay in the West Kootenay, helping local children from newborn to age 18. Although the project has some initial local support,
they are looking further afield for donations (which are tax deductible) to help purchase the items for the bags. The toys and the personal care items collected are for all age groups—the travel size is best. As well, the program is looking for volunteers to help with fundraising and to sew bags and quilts. You can check them out on the website www.itsmyveryown.org, or contact Jackson at 364-1265 (or email at sharon1j@hotmail. com) to donate.

Land purchase solves cemetery space issue BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
The issue of a shortage of burial space in the Fruitvale Memorial Cemetery can finally be laid to rest. On Monday night Village of Fruitvale council secured cemetery services for the region for the next 25 years
Bigger plume points to chimney repairs at Teck
with the announcement the village has purchased a neighbouring strip of land. The 20-foot, by 317-foot plot will be enough for the village to fulfill burial requirements for over 25 years, said village chief administrative officer Lila Cresswell. “Based on the sales we’ve
had in the last five years, that will do us for quite a while,” she said. “That’s why we didn’t need a huge amount of space.” The village sold its last plot in April. The cost for the new piece of land was not available. The village gets around five
requests for full burial plots per year, and now they can accommodate around 80 to 150 more plots with the new addition, located between Pine and Tamarack streets. “About 85 per cent of people go for cremation. But there are still some that go for full

The situation will get worse before it gets better. The plume from Teck Trail Operations’ zinc stack will be more visible this week as the company tries to get the repair to its main chimney completed. Trail Operations has been dealing with the ongoing issue for almost two months within its acid and absorption plants that has resulted in a more visible plume from the main zinc stack for the last two months. Catherine Adair, Teck’s community engagement coordinator, said the company is completing maintenance work on the plants, and has made significant progress to date. She also noted that, although the plume’s visibility will increase, the environmental house is still in order for the mining giant. “Metal emissions have not increased and we remain within our permit levels for both metals and particulate,” she said Monday. The company will be conducting additional work this week—and the plume will be more visible for a short period of time—that will have a positive impact on the plume’s appearance going forward, said Adair. However, she could not put a timeline on when the work on the repair would be complete. In the future, she said the new No. 1 Acid Plant, currently under construction, would help to improve Teck’s operational reliability and environmental performance. A more visible plume coming from the main zinc stack drew “dozens” of calls of concern to city hall in early August and to its council members as people became anxious about the irritating column of exhaust that was emanating from the plant site’s smoke stacks. Teck’s general manager, Greg Belland, told city council in late August the company was dealing with an ongoing issue within its acid and absorption plants that resulted in a more visible plume. He said the plume was primarily ammonium bisulphate, an irritant but not a health risk. The problem resided primarily in the largest acid plant, Belland explained, where the absorption tower was not working properly, overloading the clean up pump. As well, the converter which changes sulfur dioxide gas was not operating well and some of the gases were getting through. If anyone has concerns or feedback for Trail Operations they can call the Trail Operations Environmental Issues Line (24 hour) at 3644817.

Young film makers are invited to participate in an upcoming digital film workshop. Film Camps is a project through the Kootenay Association for Science and Technology (KAST) and its youth program Growing, Learning Opportunities With Science (GLOWS), in partnership with the Rossland Council for Arts and Culture. The youth filmmaking and digital workshop is geared to engage young people in a fun and creative way. “There are still lots of open spots for teens to register for the workshops,� said Barry McLane, events manager and program assistant at KAST. “Originally they were open to
teens aged 13-18, but we’ve changed it to aged 11-18. “We’re really making a push to increase the registration this week, so that the camps can go ahead.� Amy Bohigian of Watershed Productions will be instructing the program, employing the knowledge and expertise gained from her established youth film camps in Nelson. “Amy is amazing,� said KAST’s program coordinator Erin Handy. “She’s an experienced documentary filmmaker and has a master’s in Education to boot.� The program is expected to run in Trail (Oct.1617), Rossland (Oct. 9-10), Castlegar and Crawford Bay over the next several weeks. “GLOWS, our youth pro-
ffor You & Your Family
gram, was established in the belief that technical learning can be creative and fun and relevant to real life,� Handy said. “Filmmaking and digital media is a thriving field in the West Kootenay, and an area where hands-on skills can give our students a real edge in their future careers. “We’re thrilled to partner with the Rossland Arts Council to give local teens a chance to showcase their ideas and creative ability.� Each workshop can accommodate a maximum of eight kids, but needs a minimum of four or else KAST will cancel the GLOWS workshop. Some participants utilize this special training as a skill-building workshop and stepping stone for the REEL
Youth Film Festival in midNovember, an opportunity to test film skills against the best that international young filmmakers have to offer, or the Regional Under 19 Film Fest and Gala on the big screen at Trail’s Royal Theatre at the end of April.

FROM PAGE 1 burial and that’s why we don’t have any spots left,” Cresswell explained. However, Cresswell said there are still places for cremated remains in the original cemetery, as well as columbarium spots. Village councillor Larry Gray said now the site needs fencing, to be cleared of brush and trees, it has to be surveyed and laid out. The cemetery is the place of choice for the Beaver Valley, including Fruitvale and Montrose. The purchase of the land won’t undermine the East End Services Committee’s (EESC) pledge to undertake a long-term plan for the development and provision of cemetery services in the region, said Gray. “No, this just adds to it,” he said. The plan was necessitated when it was determined that no spots were left in two of the three cemeteries in the region—with only Trail’s Mountain View Cemetery having available plots. Currently, all burials taking place in the region are in Trail, with around 600 burial plots left in the Mountain View Cemetery for sale. The East End communities of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary contribute to the operation of cemeteries in the Greater Trail region, but the RDKB has no role in the ownership or management of the facilities. Fruitvale, Trail and Rossland all own their respective cemeteries— with Rossland being deemed historical in nature only. The regional district provides the cemetery service through a region-wide tax requisition. There are currently around 15,000 burials in the Trail cemetery. However, of the average of 50 requests per year for cemetery services, almost 95 per cent of them are for cremations. In some cases, families are buying one plot for several cremations, or using existing family plots to bury cremations. In February Gray said the lack of cemetery space was a region-wide concern, calling for a long-term, region-wide plan for the area. “We’re basically running out of space everywhere and we need some sort of plan for the future,” Gray said at the time. RDKB are developing of a terms of reference and a study budget for the committee’s consideration during financial plan deliberations.

Gravel grade a concern for resident BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
The need to lower the grade of a gravel alley behind a Montrose property caused one resident to voice her concerns publicly. During the regular village council meeting on Monday night Debi Sedgwick asked for the gravel alley behind her yard to be leveled-off after the village raised it in 2010. According to Sedgwick the changes created a series of water runoff problems. In the summer of 2010, Sedgwick said a village dump truck filled the alley behind her property with gravel, which raised the
alley’s level by roughly four inches to stop the roadway from sloping into her yard. Even so, in 2011 the village had to send work crews out twice to attend to water run-off on the property through the carport behind her home. “I don’t want to make mountains out of molehills, but this problem has been going on for two years,” Sedgwick pleaded, while explaining that the runoff could eventually harm the foundation of her home. “Just scrape (the gravel) back down to where it was, that’s all we’re asking.” Previously the village
supplied Sedgwick sandbags, but she said it wasn’t practical if she was out of town. In addition, the village suggested a topsoil berm and a ditch in front of her home, but Sedgwick refused each option. Chief administrative officer Kevin Chartres and Counc. Mary Gay have been to the property several times looking for a solution, but haven’t had much success negotiating a viable option with Sedgwick. “I think what she’s requesting will only result in further problems,” Chartres explained to council on Monday night. “We re-graded the alley to

hold more water to allow for dissipation two years ago and offered to build her a topsoil berm to direct the water away from her house (last spring); she told us not to go anywhere near her property.” People in Montrose are used to having their lawn grow out flat to the edge of the road which results in many issues, however it is easier for the homeowner to maintain, Chartres added. The issue was unresolved when the council meeting was adjourned, but the village agreed to continue searching for an option that would satisfy both parties.

A summer that began with the wettest month on record, came to an end with warm and dry temperatures. The average daily maximum temperature in September was 2.8 degrees warmer than normal; the average high temperature was 29.6 degrees Celsius. According to Ron Lakeman of the Southeast Fire Centre Weather Services, weather patterns during August were similar to what was experienced in September, with an upper ridge of high pressure for conditions. The total monthly rainfall was only 32 per cent of average. That was the direct opposite of June which was 350 per cent above normal. Lakeman reported that indications of an El Niño are still developing. “The El Niño typically produces milder than normal temperatures,” Lakeman said. “It’s common to get that milder temperature regime after Christmas. But it has very little bearing on the beginning part of winter.” An El Niño is associated with warmer than normal sea surface temperatures close to Central America and it commonly produces milder than normal temperatures during the winter months locally, he explained. The El Niño also brings an early spring versus the last two years where the region had a late spring.

Residents to vote on complex BY RICHARD ROLKE Vernon Morning Star
Greater Vernon residents will soon know when they head off to the polls on a sports complex. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee will decide Thursday on a date for a spring referendum on a track and football field at Okanagan College. “This is the obvious next step,” said director Rob Sawatzky. “We have to see what the community attitude is.” Director Jim Garlick is also pleased that staff have moved the process to a point where a referendum date can be selected. “If we leave it until the end of the term, it doesn’t show much faith in the project,” he said.
The complex would include a rubberized track and an artificial turf field. The projected cost is $7.8 million but voters could be asked to borrow up to $8.5 million. “It’s a responsible practice to build in contingencies,” said Tannis Nelson, Regional District of North Okanagan community development co-ordinator. “We would only borrow what is required.” Nelson has met with groups that could use the facility. “We’re looking for support for proceeding with a referendum,” she said. “The resounding response was yes. There is a lot of excitement.” A citizens’ committee will then be formed to spearhead the refer-

THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - For only the second time in British Columbia history, the provincial government has denied an environmental assessment certificate for a proposed mine. The planned Morrison mine, a proposed copper and gold operation in northwest B.C., was scuttled after the government announced Monday there was concern the project could endanger salmon in the Skeena River. Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. (TSX:BKM) had proposed the mine at Morrison Lake, a 15-kilometre-long lake surrounded by Crown land near Smithers. The lake is at the headwaters of the Skeena River, which produces the second-largest number of sockeye salmon in B.C. “This is a part of the province that has a genetically unique species of salmon that could be put at risk,” said Environment Minister Terry Lake. Lake said there were

reporters. “I think the people who have the most vital interest in having it go ahead are the ones that are going to have to decide to move it forward. If they don’t, I think the odds of it happening are really slim.” Clark said she wanted to reiterate the five conditions under which her government would allow oil pipelines - Enbridge Inc.’s Northern Gateway project and the expansion to Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain line - to deliver crude from Alberta to the West Coast for export to Asia. Alberta Premier Alison Redford, who spoke to reporters shortly after Clark did on Monday, said she has no problem with Clark’s views on how environmental and First Nations issues ought to be handled. It’s the fifth one - the question of economic benefit - that sticks out. “I’m an Albertan and when you talk about sharing Alberta’s royalties with other jurisdictions, things tend to get a little bit frosty,” she said. “Royalties cannot be on the table.”

endum. “A spring date gives community organizations lead time to communicate information to the public,” said Nelson. Garlick believes a communications strategy will be critical to the success of a referendum. “We need to put effort into it. From the public, we need to get buy-in to move it along,” he said. The provincial Agricultural Land Commission, which approved a non-farm use on the site, says the facility must be constructed by November 2014. If the referendum is approved by the public, Nelson says there will be sufficient time to meet the ALC’s deadline.
CALGARY - B.C.’s premier says it’s important to get resources to market, but moving oilsands product through the province for export to Asia is a big environmental risk. Christy Clark said the Indian middle class is growing fast and China is rapidly urbanizing. “Canada needs to be a part of that,” Clark told students Tuesday at the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy. But she said thick oilsands bitumen is inherently a riskier product than lumber, natural gas or other products that would move through B.C. to the coast and needs to be handled with “extreme care.” Citing a study filed to the panel currently reviewing the contentious $6 billion Northern Gateway pipeline, Clark said B.C. stands to bear all of the risk and only eight per cent of the financial rewards.
“If you were in business, would you take that deal?” Clark asked. “And the answer for me is quite simply, I will not.” Clark’s government has set out five conditions under which B.C. would allow projects like Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain expansion to go ahead. Three have to do with the environment, one with aboriginal consultation and one - the most contentious - with getting a “fair share” of the economic benefits. Clark said she feels like the repairman in old Maytag commercials, waiting for the phone to ring with a proposal from pipeline proponents she can accept. Clark made a “courtesy call” to her Alberta counterpart Alison Redford on Monday, a meeting which both women described as “frosty” and short on progress. Clark has no plans to discuss B.C.’s demands with industry. “It’s not a British Columbia project. I think that we in British Columbia have done our bit to set out a clear path for this to move ahead or not,” Clark told

many factors about the proposal that took him and Mines Minister Rich Coleman out of their comfort zone, including a five-square-kilometre liner of the mine’s tailings pond. “This one simply had too many risks associated with it. We didn’t have a high enough confidence level to give it a ‘Yes’,” Lake said. Pacific Booker had planned to dig out 30,000 tonnes of copper and gold ore from the site each day over 21 years. The proposal included a processing plant, mine facilities, sewage and waste water management facilities, explosive and fuel storage and a tailings storage facility. The B.C. government has faced heavy pressure recently to reveal its stand on the environmental impacts of the proposed Enbridge pipeline between Alberta and B.C. Lake said one had nothing to do with the other and each project is judged on its own merits. “It would send a very negative message to the investor community if we were to pick things to say ‘No’ to just to make a point.” A federal environmental panel hasn’t yet issued a decision on Pacific Booker’s project, but Lake said the provincial government considers the current mine proposal finished. If the company wants to continue to pursue the mine, it would have to reapply and start the process over again with a new proposal. “Obviously it would have to look substantially different than this one in order to provide the confidence that it could work.” No one from Pacific Booker was available for comment Monday, however in a statement issued to its shareholders, the company suggested there was still a chance for the proposal. “The federal approval process is on-going and the Federal Environmental Assessment agency will make their decision independently.” Chief Wilf Adam of the Lake Babine First Nation near the proposed mine said the provincial government made the right decision. “Sockeye salmon are a renewable resource at the heart of our culture and communities. We are one with our salmon,” he said in a news release. “Threatening our salmon threatens us as a people.”

BARRY COMMONER
Scientist was pioneer of environmental movement THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Barry Commoner, a scientist and activist who raised early concerns about the effects of radioactive fallout and was one of the pioneers of the environmental movement, has died in New York at 95. Commoner died Sunday
afternoon at a Manhattan hospital, where he had been since Friday, said his wife, Lisa Feiner. Commoner was an outspoken advocate for environmental issues. He was one of the founders of a well-known survey of baby teeth in St. Louis that started in the late 1950s.
The survey assessed the levels of strontium-90 in the teeth and showed how children were absorbing radioactive fallout from nuclear bombs that were being tested. The survey helped persuade government officials to partially ban some kinds of nuclear testing.
“He had a very strong belief that scientists had a social responsibility, that the discoveries would be used for social good, and that scientists also had an obligation to educate the public about scientific issues so that the public could make informed political decisions,� Feiner said.

“
Double Tap” is what mobsters do when they put somebody down. One bullet in the heart, one in the head. That way they stay down. It’s practically standard operating procedure among hitmen. Then there’s a different, nastier kind of “double tap”. Suppose you live in some hill village in western Pakistan, and one of the families nearby has a boy fighting with the Taliban who has come home for a visit, bringing several friends with him. It’s worrisome, because you are always hearing American drones overhead – and sure enough, one day there is a terrifying explosion and his house is destroyed. What do you do now? There was a whole extended family living in that house: children, old folks, a cousin or two. Some of them are probably still alive under the rubble, perhaps badly injured. Do you rush over and help to dig them out? Better not. The Predator or Reaper drone (lovely names) will wait until all the neighbours have gathered round, and then launch a second Hellfire missile onto the site.

surgical about it. The really questionable aspects of the CIA’s drone programme lie elsewhere. First, is it legal to make air attacks in a country that you are not at war with? Second, can you distinguish sufficiently between “militants” and civilians living in the same area? And, above all, why are you making double-tap attacks? The legal question is particularly problematic in Pakistan, where the government has not authorized the United States to carry out attacks. Islamabad tacitly accepts them, but sometimes public opinion forces it to respond vigorously, as when an American missile killed 24 Pakistani soldiers last year. That blunder also highlights the difficulty of distinguishing between “militants” and civilians through the lens of a remote-controlled camera. It’s the double-tap attacks that are truly shameful. Do the controllers really think that the people rushing to rescue the survivors of a first strike are all “militants” too? Or are they just trying to deter people from helping those who were wounded in the first strike? That is certainly the effect of the policy: villagers now often leave the injured survivors of an attack in agony for hours before going to help
them, for fear of becoming victims too. There’s no point in telling the military and their masters that this tactic is counter-productive, generating more new “militants” than it kills. The bureaucratic machine doesn’t respond to such subtle arguments. There’s probably no point in talking about the moral problem of killing innocent people either. But the fact that some fifty countries now have drones should inspire a little reflection about this unwritten change in the rules of engagement. The latest proud possessor of these weapons is Iran, which has just unveiled a new drone with a range of 2,000 km (1,300 mi), capable of flying over most of the Middle East. If it is really copied from the US drone that Iran captured last year, then it has major airto-ground capabilities. So what if it starts using those capabilities over, say, Syria, against the rebels that the Syrian government calls “terrorists”? The US could not really complain (though no doubt it would).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ICBC problems start at the top Re: “Time to privatize auto insurance Trail Times, Sept. 24) Workers at ICBC weren’t surprised by the government review showing more and higher-paid managers at the Corporation while the number and wages of union employees declined. There’s no doubt that’s a problem? It’s part of what we’ve been saying for over two years as we’ve been attempting to bargain for a fair deal. What is more surprising is that groups like the Fraser Institute think that the review somehow validates their support for a private auto insurance regime. The one thing they’re right about is that BC drivers are paying too much for car insur-
ance, but privatization isn’t the answer. Executive salaries, insurance fraud, and poor coverage levels are more widespread in the private sector. Public auto insurance companies also have an incentive to invest a portion of profits in making roads safer for everyone, as ICBC continues to do. Those of us who were around before ICBC was founded in 1972 remember it was brought in for those reasons, which are still valid today. So where is the real issue? The biggest problem at ICBC, is that the government hasn’t stayed true to ICBC’s breakeven mandate. Christy Clark’s government is treating ICBC as their cash cow, raiding over $1.2
billion from the corporation’s coffers even as they ask ICBC workers to continue their wage freeze and B.C. drivers to pay higher insurance premiums. That money isn’t even going into improving roads or transportation - it’s going into general revenue. British Columbians need to know savings will be used to reduce rates for drivers and keep the unionized workforce at ICBC from falling further behind. With public insurance we can choose to hold the government accountable to make that happen. In a private system, we’d have no options. Jeff Gillies Vice-President, COPE 378 Vancouver

“was sent in response to individuals who have communicated with our office about gay refugee issues.� But several baffled recipients said they had never contacted the minister. What they had done, however, was sign an online petition supporting a gay artist from Nicaragua who was facing deportation. Ten thousand people - some heterosexual - put their names on it. This automatically generated a form letter to Kenney’s office with their name and email address on it. Conservative strategists harvested the emails for a database of voters interested in gay issues. Former New Democratic party candidate Michael Erickson, who launched the petition, found it odd that the minister did not respond to the mass appeal in the first
place, but targeted the unsuspecting signatories later. “As a government that has not been very friendly to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered rights, they could have saved themselves from causing some concern.� This wasn’t Kenney’s first clumsy attempt to target specific groups of voters. In last year’s election, he attempted to target “ethnic voters� by recruiting volunteers in folkloric costumes to sit behind Stephen Harper at a campaign rally. A coalition of non-Caucasian groups known as the Colour of Poverty responded with a very funny - but devastating - video telling the minister to “Beat it. Don’t want to be an ethnic. Want to be Canadian.� Kenney has a habit of making his targets feel like victims and making others wonder: Will I be next?

The next question: How did he get my email address? “None of us have ever signed up to receive email from your office and we wonder how our names ended up on your propaganda spam list,� Johannah May Black of Toronto shot back in an open letter to Kenney.

Literacy planning is a community event SPECIAL TO THE TIMES Today we are surrounded by information. It is everywhere, and in many different forms. We use literacy skills constantly as we check our email, shop for groceries, pay our bills, read the news, and many other daily tasks. Not only must we be able to interpret the written word, we need the skills to evaluate this information. What does the food label ‘light’ really mean? When is an email from a stranger legitimate, and when is it spam? How do interest rates really affect me as a consumer? The ability to answer these questions hinges on one thing: literacy skills. “Literacy skills impact our lives and communities in ways that might surprise you,� said Ali Wassing, CBAL (Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy) Executive Director. “Studies show a strong correlation between high literacy levels, good health and low unemployment. Ultimately, a community is more resilient when its citizens have strong literacy skills.� Since 2003, community literacy organizations throughout BC, such as CBAL, have had provincial support to develop community literacy planning committees. They discuss, plan and take action on literacy development for all ages
and all needs. Decoda Community Literacy Planning Guide says: “It is in communities themselves that literacy is practiced and sustained. Therefore, community engagement is essential to creating an environment in which literacy programs can be successful.� In 2007, the province asked boards of education to be more actively involved. They are now responsible for submitting District Literacy Plans to the Ministry of Education. This comprehensive, annual document combines community literacy plans into one document for each school district. Community members representing public health, school districts, colleges, municipalities, Chambers of Commerce, Early Childhood Development teams, libraries, community services, employment agencies and many others come together as Community Literacy Planning Committees to discuss local needs. “Interesting partnerships develop and important resources are shared at these community planning meetings,� said Betty Knight, CBAL Regional Program Manager, East Kootenay.

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) staff is working across the Columbia Basin to promote literacy and learning. Succeeding, One-to-One Reading, Young Parents Education Program, Seniors Computers and English Conversation groups are just a few of the programs introduced through the community planning process. As awareness grows around health and financial literacy, and of how many aspects of daily life are impacted by literacy, the need for these community collaborations becomes more important. This year, the Community Literacy Planning Committees are
opening their doors wider, hosting open discussions about literacy service gaps, assets and possible solutions. “We hope these meetings will draw more community members into a broader discussion of literacy and lifelong, life-wide learning,� said Desneiges Profili, CBAL Regional Program Manager, West Kootenay. “Everyone should be involved in literacy planning, because literacy affects everyone.� If you are interested in being a

Saints perfect in pre-season BY TIMES STAFF The Selkirk College Saints have to be confident heading into the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League season as it closed out its undefeated preseason with a win over Eastern Washington University (EWU) Eagles Sunday. The Saints exploded for 53 shots and a halfdozen goals in a 6-1 victory over EWU in an afternoon tilt at the Castlegar Recreation Complex. The Saints dominated possession and established a 21-6 advantage in shots on goal, but only second-year forward Nick Cecconi managed to put the puck past Eagles netminder Cash Ulrich during the opening period. Selkirk extended its lead in the second period with a pair of shorthanded goals, as Trail native Logan Proulx and Dylan Smith each took advantage of neutral zone breakdowns and converted on breakaway opportunities. Uriah Machuga put Eastern Washington on the board with 2:49 remaining in the frame, but Wood quickly restored his team’s three-goal advantage just 12 seconds later. Linemates Thomas Hardy
and Cole Thomson rounded out the scoring for the Saints in the third period, as the home side finished the game with a 53-26 advantage in shots. “Getting pucks and traffic to the net has been a focus over the past two weeks, and we followed through with a good performance in the offensive zone,” says Saints head coach Jeff Dubois. “Certain parts of our game are still a work in progress, but we’ve experienced some success in our exhibition games and we’re focused on carrying that momentum forward into the start of the regular season next weekend.” Alex Sirard and Stephen Wolff split duties in the Saints’ net on Sunday, with Sirard earning the win in his first preseason appearance. He stopped all 14 shots he faced in 30 minutes of action before Wolff allowed one goal on 12 shots over the game’s second half. Selkirk now travels to Vancouver Island to open its regular season with two games against the University of Victoria next Friday and Saturday. The Saints’ home opener is set for Oct. 12 against Trinity Western University from Langley.
With the NHL on strike, fans can feed their hockey fix by following local talent as they make their way through the college hockey ranks. The puck has yet to drop on the NCAA Div. 1 season and already a Montrose product is receiving kudos. Connor Jones was one of six players named to both the ECAC hockey coaches and media Preseason All-League teams last week, three of whom are BCHL graduates. Union University’s and former Powell River Kings’ players Matt Bodie and Daniel Carr were also chosen for the team that includes Union team mate Troy Grosenick in goal, St. Lawrence forward Kyle Flanagan and defenceman Danny Biega from Harvard. After leading the Bobcats in scoring with 41 points, Jones will headline a dynamic core of forwards in Quinnipiac that includes his coMVP from last season, twin brother Kellen, who finished the year second in goals scored, 14, and third in points, 36. The brothers, who will also serve as assistant captains, were the only two Bobcats to reach double figures in goals and assists last season. Trail native and 2012 RBC Cup champion Travis St. Denis of Trail joins the Jones duo in Quinnipiac this year, and is one reason the Bobcats were picked to finish in the top four in the ECAC division. The ECAC Hockey head coaches and media picked the same

Fruitvale’s Daniella Matteucci returned to Clarkson University to play for the Golden Knights. In exhibition play this week, the sophomore defenceman added an assist in a 14-0 romp of the Ottawa Senators. Clarkson kicks off its season with a nonconference game against St. Lawrence on Friday. Trail native and former Smokie Steve Koshey is headed to the University of AlabamaHuntsville to play for the Chargers, joining former Trail teammate Graeme Strukoff. Erik Cooper from last season’s Smokies team will lace them up with 2010 Smokie alum. Cullen Bradshaw for Div. 3 national champions St. Norbert this season.

BIRCHBANK LADIES GOLF
Schmidt rink dominates Tuesday men’s club seeks curlers BY TIMES CORRESPONDENT The Kootenay Savings Super League was bolstered by the addition of the Ken Fines rink last week bringing the total number of teams in the league to nine. Unfortunately for Fines, the Desiree Schmidt rink was not in a welcoming mood in Super League action Thursday. Fines started well, making a beautiful come around tap to the four foot to take one in the second. But the Schmidt rink was relentless, making all their shots and keeping the Fines crew against the ropes, stealing two in the fourth, four in the fifth and three in the eighth for a dominating 14-3 victory. The Maglio Men’s rink started strong against the Rob Ferguson foursome, taking one in the first and stealing one in the second to take a 2-0 lead, but Ferguson battled back with a double take-out in the third for three.

Maglio skip Don Bedard deftly drew to the button in the fourth to tie the game, however he came up light in the sixth, giving Ferguson a steal of six, to seal an 11-3 victory.

Tigers clinch, Cabrera wants Crown THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. - There could have been some infighting when the Detroit Tigers were languishing below .500 midway through the season, or even when they trailed the Chicago White Sox deep into September. This was the team, after all, that won the AL Central last year, and was only supposed to get better with the signing of Prince Fielder. But the lofty expectations out of spring training had been long forgotten by everyone outside the clubhouse, the season so often close to being written off. Then the White Sox started to falter, the Tigers finally started to play defence, and all the pieces came together for a joyous ride that ended in a raucous celebration Monday night. The Tigers, paced by MVP front-runner Miguel Cabrera, beat the Kansas City Royals 6-3 to clinch back-to-back division titles for the first time since the 1934-35 seasons. “It was a rocky road, it was a tough season, but in this business, you have to be able to take some hits,” Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. “This isn’t a place for the faint-hearted, hell, we took a lot of punches, a lot of them justified, some of them maybe not, but hey, we can take a punch.”

They’re just as likely to come out swinging, too. Cabrera had four hits on the night, including a homer during a decisive five-run sixth inning, to prop up his chances of becoming the first Triple Crown winner since 1967. Cabrera plans to start at third base the final two games of the regular season as the Detroit Tigers star pursues the first Triple Crown in 45 years. Manager Jim Leyland asked Cabrera before Tuesday night’s game in Kansas City whether he wanted to DH or even sit out one of the remaining games, but Cabrera said he preferred to be in the lineup when the Tigers took on the Royals. Cabrera leads the American League with a .329 batting average, 44 homers and 137 RBIs. He went 4 for 5 with a homer in the series opener Monday night, when the Tigers clinched the AL Central title and back-to-back playoff berths for the first time since 1934-35. The last player to achieve the Triple Crown was Boston’s Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. The Oakland A’s also clinched a playoff berth Monday night with a 4-3 win over the Texas Rangers and can win the AL West pennant by winning its final two games against the Rangers.

times my salary. I’ve run up a lot of personal debt paying for my kids’ education, and now, at age 60, I’m making what my husband made 30 years ago. I work hard, but can’t seem to get ahead. Women like me are tired of struggling financially and raising kids while their fathers find new trophy wives. If your male readers are wondering where the faithful women are, we are sitting home, living with the remnants of the stresses from onesided divorces. I continue to hope that real companionship is still a possibility. -- Thwarted Dear Thwarted: We are sure you speak
to be good before he sets a date. I’m interviewing now for a job that could turn into a steady and rewarding career. He said, “Let’s see if you get it.” Whenever someone asks me, “When is the big date?” my heart sinks. I am starting to feel as though Doug is not ready to commit. He proposed and gave me a beautiful ring. Now we argue a lot. I’m no spring chicken, Annie. I feel as if I’m running out of time. What should I do? -- Want Happiness Sooner Dear Want: Doug is reluctant to take on your debts and may fear you are using him for financial security. He wants to see that you have a decent job before he marries you. This is not an unreasonable concern. The fact that you’re in a hurry only makes him more skittish. Stop worrying about what other people think. If you get a good job and Doug
still won’t set a date, then reconsider the relationship. Dear Annie: “Empty Nester” said she’s looking to make friends now that her kids are out of the house. Thanks for suggesting meetup.com.
I moved across the country and was concerned about finding friends in a new city. Since I work from home, the office is not a viable place to get to know anyone. MeetUp has been terrific. I joined a dining-
out group, another for women over 40 and one for dog lovers. I’ve made wonderful new friends. -- P. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

for many women. But please don’t give up. Your children are grown now. If you want to meet men (or anyone), devote some time to yourself. Look into activities and organizations that are free, low-cost or volunteer, and see if you can break out of the cycle you are in. Dear Annie: I’m a middle-aged woman, living with my boyfriend. We have both been married before and have children. When I met “Doug,” we would sit and talk for hours. Since our engagement, however, everything seems to be going downhill. We have not set a wedding date, nor do we discuss it. Due to my previous marriage and some mistakes, my credit is not where it should be. The amount of money I make will never allow me to get caught up. I have been applying for new jobs, but haven’t found one yet. Doug says I need my credit

Dear Annie: I’m writing on behalf of those of us in the “trapped” generation. We are the ones who grew up thinking Doris Day was the ideal woman. We were college-educated, but still expected to marry and have a family. Many of us limited our careers to part-time efforts. Then came our husbands’ midlife crises and no-fault divorces. For many of us who had “dumbed down” our careers to care for our husbands, we weren’t able to make ends meet once the child support payments stopped. For some of us, we had sacrificed further education or job advances for our husbands’ careers. According to the Social Security Administration, I never earned more than $10,000 per year until I was 45 years old. The divorce decree stated that I was to split the children’s college costs equally with my ex, who was making three

YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Thursday, Oct. 4, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You have a strong sense of anticipation and adventure today. You’re eager to meet new people, see new places and hear fresh ideas. (“Look -- a bright, shiny object!”) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Trust your moneymaking impulses today, because they could be original and innovative. However, these same impulses will create spontaneous purchases, which you might later regret. (Keep your receipts.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The Moon is in your sign today, dancing with several other planets. This makes you feel stimulated and excited about life. You’re eager to encounter fresh situations. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A restless quality pervades much of your day, especially toward the evening.
However, this also makes you feel up for new adventure and ready for anything new. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might meet someone who is new and unusual today. Or perhaps someone you already know will say or do something that amazes you. Guard against mild accidents or indiscretions. (Oops.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) People in authority might be surprised by your actions today. If you want to stay in their good books, you might want to think twice before you say or do anything. Conversely, don’t quit your day job if you are irritated with your boss. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You long for escape and adventure! Grab every opportunity to learn something new or to take a quick trip. Go someplace you’ve never

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A partner or close friend might demand more freedom in the relationship today. (Possibly, this person is you.) Try to be tolerant and flexible.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The introduction of new technology or high-tech equipment at work is likely today. However, computer crashes, canceled meetings and staff shortages also might occur. Allow wiggle room for everything. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You feel highly creative today. It’s a great day for the arts, playing with children
and anything that has to do with sports and the entertainment world. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Stock the fridge, because surprise company might drop by, or you might impulsively entertain others. A family member might have interesting news to tell. YOU BORN TODAY You know what others want because you have your finger on the pulse of the public.

Cops for Kids ride comes to sunny finish BY TIMES STAFF Enforcement officers from every ilk in the Greater Trail region were part of the 10-day Cops for Kids Charitable Foundation bike ride through the West Kootenay and the Okanagan, topping a record year for funds raised.

In all, 21 riders and six support members from the RCMP and other law enforcement agencies—including B.C. Sheriffs and the Canada Border Service Agency—participated in this year’s ride from Sept. 7-13. Riders also met with
