Vacant building an eyesore for Spokane Street merchants BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
A group of business owners in downtown Trail are passionate about sprucing up their street to reclaim it as a shopping destination. Merchants along Spokane Street such as the Gift Shop, Women’s Journey to Fitness, and Ye Olde Flower Shoppe have spruced up their exteriors with fresh paint, planters full of colourful flowers, clean sidewalks and re-tiled front entrances. However, one very large obstacle stands in the way. A hindrance to improving the street’s image is the untidy appearance of the empty buildings, said business owners Sabine Mann and Maureen Dilling of Women’s Journey to Fitness. In particular, the former Liquidation World, a building that spans half the block and is right across the street from their newly renovated gym. “I can tell you that our members do say the building is a disgrace and really takes away from what we are all trying to do in making our businesses look really good,” said Mann. “I even offered to clean it and pretty it up if that’s what it will take,” she said, adding, “It just needs to be done.”
WHAT’S COOKING?
Unless the building poses a threat to public safety, such as a loose awning, the city cannot take action against the owner. “Responsibility for property maintenance and upkeep falls to the property owner,” confirmed Michelle McIsaac, Trail’s corporate administrator. “While the city encourages all property owners to take an active interest in beautifying and keeping their storefronts tidy, we can’t order them or require them to do so.” McIsaac acknowledged downtown properties making efforts to improve their storefronts, and said, “perhaps that attitude will catch on with others.” Although Mann is waiting for a response from the building owner who is out of the country, she remains hopeful that improvements will soon happen to the building. She suggested the possibility of mirroring Kaslo’s vacant downtown buildings, which have historical town pictures blown up and posted in the windows to create visual appeal. “Another idea is to bring the Trail Market indoors and into this building instead of the Cominco Arena,”said Mann.

Guest speakers share insight on mental health BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff
A group dedicated to improving the health of Kootenay people is pulling back the stigma attached to mental health in a free lecture in Trail Thursday. Bridging the Gap: Healthy Minds, Healthy Communities has invited guest speaker Donna Harker to share her reflections on her personal experience with depression and anxiety while trying to stay productive at work and Dr. Jehannine Austin, a leader in the genetics of psychiatric
disorders. “The idea is by coming together to learn about things relevant to all of our health in a common venue, we hope to learn about the medical side of the issues but also to open a dialogue about the underlining social issues involved in many chronic illnesses,” explained Jaime Frederick, Kootenay Boundary Division of Family Practice's continuing medical education coordinator. “We feel that many people are not able to get the help that they need due to a complex inter-

Trail SPCA seeks help for Hank
TRAIL – The BC SPCA’s Trail regional branch is hoping the public can help Hank. A lovable German shepherd mix, Hank has skin issues and ear problems that need treatment. A special diet for his skin issues is likely required, as well as medication and treatment for his ears, in order to get him to a comfortable state. “We’d love to be able to do some allergy tests and other tests to get a better idea of what Hank’s problems are,” says SPCA Trail Regional branch manager Danielle Jackman. “All medications, tests and food could cost between $300 to more than $1,000.” Hank still needs a loving home and an understanding owner, but before that can happen, it is critical he get the treatment he needs for his skin and ears. Jackman notes his problems

The Lead: West hardly wants to help declarer with his tasking of drawing trump so he does not lead trump. He makes the safe lead of top of touching honours in diamonds. West leads the queen of diamonds. The play: Declarer wins the ace and plays the queen of trump. West wins and plays the ten of diamonds. He started with the top of the sequence and continued with the bottom of the sequence so partner knows where the jack is. So does declarer.

Declarer wins the king of spades and draws the rest of the trump, takes the winning heart finesse and claims. The Result: South loses no spades, no hearts, one diamond and two clubs mak-

This is clearly better than what North and South can make undoubled with the same hands. The lead direct double should tell partner of a good lead and should have enough substance to it as well to beat a two club redoubled contract.

Fruitvale
Woman presses forward with traffic safety goal Area A resident climbs political ladder to be heard By Valerie Rossi Times Staff
Ingrid Mayer has witnessed enough accidents outside her Area A property and will move speed signs herself if she's asked to. The woman, who lives just outside of Fruitvale, is garnering support for her cause to reduce the speed of drivers on a stretch of Highway 3B, about two kilometres north of the village. She's circulating a petition and asking local politicians to get behind her campaign, recently gaining a letter of support from Fruitvale council, and is set to meet with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure's Darrell Gunn Thursday. “The traffic is plentiful out there and nobody is slowing down,” she told Fruitvale council on Sept. 9. “Just to walk along that area is nerve racking.” Leaving Fruitvale, drivers roll past a cautionary sign that suggests to slow to 60 kilometres before travelling through a blind curve. But before they make their way through that corner, a speed up to 90 km sign can be seen and acceleration begins, she said. Unfortunately, drivers are speeding up as they pass Old Salmo Road, where school kids are picked up and dropped off, and several homes follow. Beyond excessive speeding, Mayer said there is plenty of
wildlife that roam the nearby marshy fields and Beaver Creek and a school bus stop lacks an identifying sign. “The catalyst for me was when a moose was killed,” she said Friday. “Since then there has been two deer run down and a bear further up the road.” The unreported incidents also add to the list and as a result Mayer has decided “enough is enough” and has stepped out for the cause on behalf of her neighbours. She would like to see the 90 km sign moved out further northbound, past the last blind corner, and would like to see southbound traffic slowing to 60 km, at least a half a km earlier then where a slow to 70 km sign currently is located. The Trail and Greater District RCMP were out monitoring the area recently doing spot checks as a result of concerns raised, according to RCMP Sgt. Rob Hawton. “What we found was there was not a significant issue with excessive speeds over the posted limit in the 70 km per hour zone, and few were caught that warranted a ticket,” he said. “Those incidents were in the area where the limit transitioned from 90 to 70.” For the record, he said there have been three reported collisions there since March to August with the most recent being on July 29, the moose incident. Beyond a more controlled speed zone, Mayer would like to see larger wildlife signs, a school bus stop sign and an increase in police presence.

Merchants along Spokane Street point to the vacant Liquidation World building as a constant eyesore and detrimental to their efforts to clean up the area to attract customers.
Street used to be a bustling business area
FROM PAGE 1 “Or maybe an art-walk or after school program for kids. We just need them to do something.” The south end of downtown along Spokane Street used to be lively place and a big attraction for people from neighbouring communities to visit Trail and shop, reminisced octogenarian John Carter. Carter, 40-year owner of a well known fabric and notions store, Carter’s Sewing Centre, began his business in a Spokane Street location that was originally an Eaton’s retail outlet but converted to
a mini-mall in the 80’s. Most recently, the building was the site of Liquidation World, a discount retail outlet that closed its doors in 2010. He said operating a downtown business was always a challenge, but the biggest problem back then was a lack of parking for his customers. “People who worked downtown would plug the meters in front of my store and leave no place for my customers to park,” said Carter. “That was a struggle, but I was good at what I did and could keep things going,” he said. “And I enjoyed it, especially singing on
Lightning blamed for blackout By Sheri Regnier Times Staff
Almost 3,000 homes in the Trail area were left in the dark Monday night. Shortly after 7 p.m. a lightning storm passing through the area caused power outages in two separate events, confirmed Grace Pickell, FortisBC communications advisor. Damage to a portion of a transmission line just outside the Warfield substation caused a loss of power to almost 2,000 Trail residences, said Pickell. An additional 1,000 homes were affected by a lightning arrestor failure on a distribution line in the Bay Avenue area. “Lightning arrestors are in place to dissipate a surge of energy that accompanies a lightning strike,” she explained. “When the arrestor fails, it

has done its job and is helping to keep our electrical grid safe.” Once crews were dispatched to the sites, approximately 2,000 customers had power restored within the hour, with the majority of remaining customers having power restored an hour later, added Pickell. The power outage did not affect homes in Rossland, Warfield, Montrose or Fruitvale. Despite the ongoing lockout at FortisBC, the company was granted an Essential Services Order by the B.C. Labour Relations Board to maintain public safety and access to reliable electrical service. The lockout has affected Fortis employees in generation, transmission, and distribution operations including power line technicians, electricians, and power systems dispatchers.
the radio,” he chuckled. Today, parking isn’t the issue, rather the vacant building and its less than stellar exterior is frustrating for Jean Boyczuk, 30-year proprietor of the Gift Shop. “This was one of the busiest streets years ago, and busy all the time,” she said. “Everyone left here is really trying but it feels like we don’t have anyone on board to help us,” explained Boyczuk. “The big empty building doesn’t attract anyone down here especially when it isn’t looked after. “I don’t care what they do with it, just do something.”

MLA questions booze in grocery stores Parks Canada attempts to Haida Gwaii Islands
By Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s consultation on liquor reform has begun with a debate about allowing alcoholic beverage sales in grocery stores. “Washington state is the model I favour,” a Lower Mainland resident wrote Monday on the B.C. government’s new consultation website. “No government involvement

in retailing – period. Just enforce the legal drinking age.” The B.C. government’s point man on liquor reform, Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap, posted his own comments on the subject Monday. Yap warned that while opening up alcohol sales is a popular suggestion, “it certainly isn’t as straightforward as it may seem.” Yap noted that beer,

wine and spirits are already sold in rural grocery stores that are licensed because their service area isn’t big enough to warrant a government retail store. In urban areas, he questioned whether alcoholic beverages should be sold from convenience stores and gas stations, larger grocery stores, or big-box retailers. “When this topic comes up in my meetings with health, safety and law-andorder advocates, the question will surely become that already we see 30 per cent of late-night attendees at a typical B.C. emergency department report alcohol consumption in the six hours prior to their injury or illness,” Yap said. “If we make it more available for the sake of convenience, will we see rates like this rise?” The government is inviting public comments until Oct. 31 at the website, www. gov.bc.ca/liquorpolicy-

review. The site also lists submissions from health care, police and alcohol industry representatives. The current review continues a remake of B.C. liquor policy that began in 2002, when cold beer and wine stores were allowed to sell spirits. When the consultation was launched in August, Yap said licenses for serving craft beer or local wine at farmers’ markets would be considered. Pubs also want to allow under-aged children in with their parents for lunch, putting them on a level playing field with licensed restaurants.
eradicate rats from island
THE CANADIAN PRESS GWAII HAANAS, B.C. - Parks Canada staff are trying to take back two remote northern islands in the Haida Gwaii archipelago from a festering sea of rats, dropping poison pellets from a helicopter for the first time in Canada. The aerial drop is the second phase of project Night Birds Returning, which experts hope will eradicate the rats introduced by ships almost a century ago and that now number in the hundreds of thousands on Murchison and Faraday islands. Laurie Wein, with Parks Canada in Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, says one island in particular was once
home to the largest colony of ancient murrelet in the world, with more than 200,000 breeding pairs. There are now just 14,000 breeding pairs of the endangered seabirds. Wein says the rats have no natural predators on the islands, and eat seabird eggs, chicks and even adult birds. The aerial drop is part of a five-year, $2.5 million program to restore the natural habitat on four of the Haida Gwaii islands. If it’s successful, the eradication program will expand to other islands in the archipelago off the northern coast of British Columbia.
Parksville
Worker gets her wages back Parksville Qualicum News An arbitrator has ruled that a Parksville nurse was unjustly disciplined by her employer for speaking out on the state of seniors’ care at a public meeting last year. According to a news release from the Hospital Employees’ Union, the operators of Stanford Place suspended Tina Irvine for six shifts without pay after she spoke out at a January, 2012 public forum cosponsored by the HEU and the Oceanside Coalition for Strong Communities. Attempts by The News to get comment from Stanford Place officials on the ruling
were unsuccessful. Irvine’s observations at the forum about the impact of wage cuts on staff morale and resident care were reported in a local newspaper, and she was suspended from work shortly afterward. At the time, Irvine served as secretary-treasurer for the HEU local at Stanford Place where she is employed as a licensed practical nurse. HEU secretary-business manager Bonnie Pearson said that Irvine’s suspension was a completely outrageous attempt to intimidate local union activists from speaking out. “Despite employer intimida-

tion, our members will continue to speak out on behalf of their residents and patients,” Pearson said in the HEU news release.. “I know that Tina and her co-workers appreciate the support they received from the local community through this incident.” In his decision, arbitrator Christopher Sullivan upheld a union grievance claiming that Irvine was unjustly disciplined and ordered Stanford Place to pay her the wages lost for the period of her suspension.

National Manitoba
Cities can reduce speed
THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG - Speed limits will be going down in Manitoba school zones but Transportation Minister Steve Ashton says it is not an order. Ashton says a new regulation allows municipalities to put school speed zones in place. He says the minimum speed limit will be 30 kilometres an hour in most school zones, but where the current limit is 80 kilometres an hour, that can be reduced to 50. It’s also possible the Briefs lowered speed limit may only be in effect during the school day - Ashton says it depends on what the local municipality decides. Mayor Sam Katz says the earliest school speed zones go down will be October. As well, it will be up to the city to determine which school zones will see a change. It may not happen at every school. Luis Escobar, Winnipeg’s manager of transportation for public works, says about 170 schools, mostly those with elementary students, will have speed limits reduced Monday to Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. from September until June.
Canada
Quebec
Cops seized Liberal files THE CANADIAN PRESS QUEBEC - The leader of the Quebec Liberals says police seized boxes full of documents in a raid on his party headquarters and he promises his full co-operation with their investigation. In his first public comments on the July raid by UPAC, the provincial anti-corruption unit, Philippe Couillard said: “I want no compromises. I want the truth.” He said that when police decided not to announce the raid over the summer, he and the party decided to remain silent to avoid interfering with the investigation. Couillard was asked what police were looking for, and who they were targeting. “There were so many boxes - I don’t know what was in there,” he said Tuesday. “And I don’t want to know... I don’t want to intervene in any way in police investigations.” News of the raid appeared in the media yesterday - on the eve of the reopening of the legislature. The news has overshadowed all other issues at Quebec’s national assembly today, including the controversial debate over religious accommodations. That report on Radio-Canada said some Liberal MNAs had been questioned by police but did not specify whether they were current or past politicians.
Alberta
Premier slams slights by celebrities
Actor Robert Redford joins others, like singer Neil Young, in criticizing province’s oilsands development THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON Alberta Premier Alison Redford is shaking her head over recent attacks on the oilsands by celebrities Robert Redford and Neil Young, noting the stars use those same resources to go around “flying on planes.” “This is not different than what they have been saying for some time. It certainly shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone,” the premier told reporters on a conference call from China, where she was on a trade mission Tuesday. “I’ve really got to question how people who are using (conventional) energy flying on planes can make these sorts of comments and assume that they are going to have any credibility. “We have to start having a discussion based on the facts. That’s not what we’re seeing here.” Young was in the Fort McMurray area earlier this month. He said he drove his custom hybrid 1959 Lincoln Continental up from the U.S., though a Fort McMurray filmmaker hired to film scenes for a documentary on the car said there was a diesel bus that followed along for the crew. Young went away calling the region a post-apocalyptic landscape that was making native people in the area sick. “Fort McMurray looks like Hiroshima,” the singer said.
On Monday, Robert Redford released a short video urging U.S. President Barack Obama to reject the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. The pipe would ship Alberta oilsands bitumen south across North America to refineries on the Gulf Coast in Texas. Proponents say it’s a critical link to boosting Alberta’s economy and ensuring the U.S. has a source of oil distinct from the volatile politics of the Middle East. But in the video, Robert Redford agrees with critics who say the environmental degradation and the risk of catastrophe from pipeline spills are too high a price to pay. “I can understand why oil companies love tarsands,” the actor says, standing in a field. “There’s a lot of money to be made by strip mining and drilling the dirtiest oil on the planet - but why should the rest of us pay the price?” His comments are delivered over images of blackened, denuded land around oilsands operations in Fort McMurray, north of Edmonton. “Developing the Canadian tarsands is destroying our great
northern forests at a terrifying rate,” intones the actor, famous for roles in “All the President’s Men,” “The Sting,” and “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” “It’s killing our planet, and there’s no energy security in that.” Mike Hudema of the environmental group Greenpeace said Redford the premier should not be so quick to dismiss Redford the actor. “Celebrities like Robert Redford don’t take political positions lightly,” said Hudema. Robert “Redford has been looking into the impacts of tarsands development for years. Robert Redford and Neil Young join a growing list of celebrities, Nobel laureates and award-winning climate scientists that all come to the same conclusion - we need to be transitioning ourselves away from extreme energy developments like the tarsands.” One of those celebrities, Hollywood producer-director James Cameron, came to Alberta to see the oilsands for himself three years ago. Alison Redford’s predecessor as premier, Ed Stelmach, met with Cameron in September 2010 after Cameron criticized the oilsands as a “black

T
he verdict is in: the English-Canadian commentariat is unanimous that Quebec’s proposed Charter of Values is both a stupid and a bad idea, incompatible with a multicultural society. They are half right. It is a bad idea (and incredibly ineptly handled). It is not, however, a stupid one. In their justified rush to condemn the Parti Quebecois’s fearmongering over the survival of the Québécois pur laine, these commentators have ignored that there is a legitimate debate to be had about how the private beliefs of state employees can and should intrude on their work. Danielle Smith’s Wildrose Party harmed its chances in the last Alberta election by championing the idea that justices of the peace who were conscientiously opposed to performing gay marriages should be exempted from doing so. What was the objection to such an exemption? Presumably that people who work for the state must be prepared to act on and enforce the state’s policies, and be neutral and even-handed in
their treatment of all citizens. If the state decides that gays should be allowed to marry, those who work for the state must be prepared to set their private feelings aside and faithfully execute their public duty. So how far is the state entitled to go in enforcing this neutrality? This is not a stupid question. On the contrary, its importance is magnified in a multicultural society composed of many groups and individuals of widely differing backgrounds and moral assumptions. In those circumstances, the state must be even more scrupulous; it must be neutral and be seen to be neutral. Otherwise government can easily lose its ability to be a trusted arbiter in social conflict and reliable enforcer of the rules. Nor is it stupid to think that how the servants of the state dress might matter enormously. Drunken brawlers on St. Patrick’s Day might be particularly resistant to being arrested by a policeman wearing his Orange Order sash. A feminist might reasonably have reservations about handing her child over to a Muslim woman teacher wearing a veil, fearing that this per-

son would be unable to separate her private beliefs about the role of women from the official equality of the sexes professed by the state. A Tutsi, whose tribe suffered horrific massacres at the hands of the Hutus in Rwanda, might wonder what kind of care he would get from a surgeon who insisted on wearing traditional Hutu symbols. So a policy that required government workers not to make ostentatious shows of their private beliefs in the course of performing their public duties could be justified. Nor would this, as many seem to believe, constitute “discrimination.” No one is forced to work for the government, and the devout of every religion have activities they are forbidden to engage in.
A pious Catholic wouldn’t work in an abortion clinic, a devout Jew could not accept a job that required her to work on Saturdays and an observant Muslim could not work as a bacon taster for a meat packer. Does that mean these jobs “discriminate” against such people? Not at all. It means that the devout have freely made certain choices that preclude some others. A person unwilling to subordinate their private beliefs to their public duties has made such a choice, understanding that there are both costs and benefits to their beliefs. But requiring government employees to set aside the symbols of their private selves while on public duty is not the only possible policy consistent with state neutrality. The Canadian alternative is based on trust, the presumption of innocence and a “least harm” principle. We trust that people who agree to work for the state do so in good faith and with the intention of honouring their duties, and we presume they are doing so until we have evidence to the contrary. They may then be legitimately disciplined. We regard what they wear
as largely immaterial until the individual’s behaviour gives us specific reasons to believe otherwise. We try to protect the neutrality of the state in ways that cause the least possible harm to people, including those who work for government. Requiring people to give up symbols of their beliefs does cause them harm, and we seek out alternatives that minimize that harm before hauling out the heavy cannon. Finally, in this debate, motivation matters. Where the Quebec government has gone so badly wrong is in putting forward a policy that could be reasonably justified, but doing so in a way that makes it clear that reasoned pursuit of the public good is not its goal. Instead the PQ is clearly seeking partisan political advantage by demonizing minorities and lending the prestige of the state to vastly overblown fears of cultural dilution among old-stock Quebeckers. That we must never accept. Brian Lee Crowley (twitter.com/brianleecrowley) is the Managing Director of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, an independent non-partisan public policy think-tank in Ottawa.

LETTERS & OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Make culprits cover ICBC costs
Listening to the news, ICBC has to hike up rates to compensate for the rising costs of personal injuries. Also the news showed how there is an extreme increase in hit and runs, and drivers leaving the scene of accidents, leaving people at the accident scene for dead. One incident was a 14 year old run down while walking to her first day of school. And there is far too many other situations to list. Obviously accidents happen. But it is the senseless incidents that could have been prevented if you drive defensively. But to be a coward and run away. So they said we need a plan to stop these inhumane occurrences. Here is just an idea I can maybe throw out there. Quit
punishing everyone else for the bad driving skills of others. You don't punish all your kids at home because the one decided to get themselves into hot water. Driving as I knew it was a privilege, not a right so this letter has nothing to do with taking your rights away but simply using your privileges responsively. If someone is condoned a bad driver, then they should have to pay the penalty, not all of us. The best we can get is a 40 per cent break for 99 years of good driving. Raise their rates, make them have to buy $5 million or $10 million in liability at an escalated premium. Start hitting them up for an insane amount for texting as they drive.
Hammer down on street racers. Make it mandatory that you must undergo a vehicle virtual reality simulation test to renew your license. If a person has to pay out too much for driving privileges and can't afford all their incidences, then just maybe they would hang up their keys. Put this money into the system to help. Maybe this would detour more drivers that are senselessly killing people that are walking near or on the street. The only people this letter will bother will be the violators thinking I'm going against their rights, forgetting what a privilege is. And don't even get me started on ICBC bonuses. Brent Laface Trail
Victoria St. revitalization is a fiasco
Why was the public not better informed as to the exact plan for Victoria Street? We refer in particular to the new one-way street on part of Cedar Avenue, no right turns onto Victoria Street from Pine Avenue and Cedar Avenue, etc. All that was mentioned in a rather vague way was the revitalization of Victoria Street. The concrete “jut outs” are going to be a nightmare to negotiate around and in winter the streets will be narrowed
further by the snow piled up on the sides of these monstrosities. It seems that we will lose some parking spots, especially in the area of the Credit Union, Trail Times, etc. on Cedar Avenue. We can ill afford to lose any parking in the downtown core. All this is costing a mint when that money should have been put toward a second bridge--one that will accommodate cars.
We shudder to think of the traffic pileup that will be created if there is any kind of incident on the “new” bridge or anywhere in that area. Of course there was a need to upgrade infrastructure on Victoria Street including sidewalks and curbs, but whoever dreamed up this whole endeavor did not have much knowledge of traffic flow in this town.

Many Canadians left behind
An editorial from the Corner Brook Western Star Last week results from an online poll by the Canadian Payroll Association showed what most of us suspected - and many of us live with. One study indicated that almost half of Canadians would be in trouble if their paycheque was delayed a week. That means that 42 per cent who were polled spend every cent they make trying to keep the lights on and food on their table. It shouldn’t come as a surprise though. Working Canadians haven’t made any real gains since the early 1980s if inflation is added
into the equation. Canadian families are bringing in about the same amount of money on their paycheques while the cost of almost everything has continued to climb. It’s a recipe for social upheaval. Workers will eventually stop being treated as second-class citizens. These continue to be tough times economically and ordinary families are looking at a bleak future if all they can do is manage to pay their bills, with not a nickel left over. Some places are worse than others. This week too the Conference Board of Canada predicts that St. John’s will have the fasted growing economy in

the country ... ahead of places like Calgary and Edmonton. The growth is said to be spurred by the offshore oil industry. That is positive for those who are working in the offshore industry or for spinoff businesses that are paying massive salaries. But what about those who are barely getting by and still have to compete with these petro salaries when trying to buy a home or rent an apartment, or even to pick up a couple of pounds of hamburger meat? Money isn’t everything, but you can’t pay the bills without it.

PEOPLE
OBITUARIES DEROSA, (MITA) LOUISE — passed away peacefully on September 14, 2013 in Columbia View Lodge at the age of 97. She immigrated to Canada with her widowed mother Amelia Mattiazzo and older sister Mary in 1921. They took residence in Trail. Louise worked at Star Bakery with her husband, Tony. She raised her children in Trail then in her later years moved to “friendly” Blueberry Creek where she found peace in her solitude and the simplicity of life. Mom is predeceased by her infant sister Anna Campano, husband Antonio (1958), sister Mary Lauriente, step-sister Edie Exner, daughter-in-law Dianne DeRosa (McLaren), son-in-law Robert Kromm, and brothers-inlaw Arnold Lauriente and Herbert Exner. She is survived by daughter Geri Kromm, Raymond DeRosa (Beverly), Gord DeRosa (Beverly), step-brother Roy Morchiori, stepsister Norma Milne, 12 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren. It was her written explicit instruction that there not be a funeral service and that in lieu of flowers, personal expressions of condolences be made to a charity of choice. It was her choice to have her remains donated to the U.B.C. Faculty of Medicine. “no more to grow on there”
SLAWOMIR MROZEK
Dissident playwright gets state ceremony THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WARSAW, Poland - Dissident playwright Slawomir Mrozek, considered by many to be one of Poland’s greatest writers for the stage, was buried during a state ceremony on Tuesday. People waited in the rain in the southern historic city of Krakow, where Mrozek’s career began, to sign a condolence book. Then a hearse drawn by two black horses took the metal urn to its resting place at St. Peter and Paul church. The funeral Mass was conducted by Archbishop Stanislaw Dziwisz, who served as a personal secretary of the late Pope John Paul II. President Bronislaw Komorowski posthumously awarded Mrozek the Grand Cross of the Order of Poland’s Rebirth, in recognition of his contribution to Poland’s culture. “We are bidding farewell to a master of wise grotesque that was filled with deep thought,” Culture Minister Bogdan Zdrojewski said during the service, which was attended by other government officials and Mrozek’s publishers from Poland and abroad. Poland completed its transformation from a communist to a democratic country in 1989. Long before then, Mrozek made his name with surrealistic, satirical plays, notably the 1964 “Tango,” which slyly ridiculed communism. He also made pointed but skeptical observations about human nature. That convoluted form protected Mrozek from censorship and allowed for his works to be staged in Poland. A communist party member at first, he was stripped of his passport after criticizing Poland’s participation in the 1968 Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia to crush its Prague Spring reforms. He remained in France, where he was at the time.

Duo’s skiing photo lands on Powder Magazine cover BY ALEX COOPER
“I knew right away it was a magazine shot, guaranteed.”
Revelstoke Times Review
Two Revelstokians have landed one of the great achievements in their field - the cover of Powder Magazine. Bruno Long’s photo of Sean Cochrane skiing on a snowshed over the TransCanada Highway just outside Glacier National Park has landed on the cover of the October 2013 issue of the famous ski magazine. For both of them, it’s a first. “I know for both of us it’s a big time dream come true,” said Long. “For a ski photographer, there isn’t anything better than that. They don’t run that many issues a year and to get on the cover is something super special.” Added Cochrane: “It’s a really cool pay off for me as far as having something to show for the work I’m doing.” The photo was taken on an overcast day in March. Long and Cochrane were heading to Rogers Pass when they

found out most of the area was closed for avalanche control. Instead, they stopped just before the park to ski a pillow line they had seen before. On the way home, they both noticed the snowshed – the only one with a steep roof capable of being skied on. They parked their car and toured down the highway to the snowshed. Cochrane climbed up a service road to the top of the shed while Long set up his shot. “I was freaking out, I was shaking,” said Long. “I was stoked. He was standing at the top and I could tell that if it worked out the way I think it is, it’s going to be unreal.” They waited for a transport to come through. Eventually,

Long called out to Cochrane. He poled a few times, dropped onto the shed and slashed a big powder turn right down to the bottom. “It was one of the funnest turns of my life,” he said. “I knew right away it was a magazine shot, guaranteed,” said Long. Landing on the cover of Powder is often regarded as a pinnacle achievement for photographers and skiers. While I spoke to Long and Cochrane outside the Modern, about a half-dozen people came up to congratulate them on the achievement. Long said he knew right away the photo was a winner. When he sent it in several months ago, Powder got back to him, saying it would make the photo annual as a twopage spread. Time passed and some more e-mails and calls came in from the magazine, raising their suspicions that something was up. Last week, Cochrane went

to see local filmmaker Frank Desrosiers about a video edit he was working on. He showed up at the studio to find Greg Hill there, and Long on Skype from Rossland, where he was shooting mountain biking. They both thought they were being offered a role in a new project. Then Hill came in with a pizza box. “I flipped open the lid and inside there was a print that Powder had sent up on a piece of cardboard, and a GoPro to get the reaction,” said Cochrane. He held up the photo for Long to see. “I’m excited it’s this shot and not something that’s been seen before,” said Cochrane. “It’s not just a turn with a scenic background or a cliff that makes you go wow. It’s just different.” They both see it as a boost to their dreams – Long as a professional photographer and Cochrane as a professional skier. “It’s a payoff for all the hard work that both of us had been doing,” said Long.

Fishing Report
The West Kootenay Fishing Report is back with reports and tips on how to catch fish on local lakes and streams. Columbia River: The Columbia saw some great fishing over the summer months. After a July of furious action, the dwindling caddis hatches made way for hopper patterns in late August and early September. Hatches will begin to fall off as the weather cools and fly fishers are generally more successful using sink-tip or full-sink lines and throwing woolly buggers and stonefly nymphs at the large rainbow. However, sunny days and late mayfly and October-caddis hatches can mean some great top-water action during warm afternoons. Technique: With fewer bugs coming off the water, rainbows will hunker down and hold in tailouts or in the fast water of runs and riffles, feeding opportunis- Fruitvale fly-fisherman John MacGillivray tically on passing nymphs, beetles, flying trout as the sun sets on the Columbia. ants, and other invertebrates.

During emergence, dragonflies migrate to shore and emerge on reeds and other vegetation, so crawling a nymph towards shore, slowly across the bottom, interspersed with a quick strip to imitate its innate propulsion system is effective. Adult Darner dragonflies are most common on lakes and attain large sizes with bodies up to 3.5 inches or longer. Climbing Darner nymphs grow up to 2 inches, although 1 ¾ to 1 ¾ inches is a common average. Long shank hooks in sizes #4- #8 cover the bases and a size #6 is a good overall average.

ties into a nice Columbia River rainbow Lake on a regular basis throughout the summer. Even on hot summer days they managed to catch a few fish mostly on the downriggers due to the warm water conditions. Bull trout of smaller sizes were consistently caught each day and a few rainbows mixed in. And when the warm water finally caught up, they started fishing for Kokanee to help maintain interest. That turned out to be a pleasant surprise, as late summer Kokanee up to 18 inches made for exciting trips. As the team transitions to autumn fishing, decent rainbows have been caught in the past week or two. Nothing huge, but still some good fish in the low teens. That’s a good start considering the water is still very warm. Lures and technique: It’s still a mixed bag. The weather is still warm and so is the water. So, most fish are biting on the deep lines. However, there have been a few good ones caught on the surface. September is usually best fished with downriggers. Common depths of 80 120 feet seem to work best. The usual flasher and hoochie combo has been successful. And some of the latest experiments have found a flasher and bucktail fly to be catching fish also. These combinations fished on the rigger around 100 feet seems to be working. Bucktails on the surface will be working also as the fish become more aggressive. Look forward to more detailed reports as we spend more and more time on the lake over the next few weeks.

Submitted The Selkirk College Saints began their fivegame preseason schedule against Alberta college league opponents on a winning note this weekend, sweeping a two-game series with Fort McMurray-based Keyano College. The teams faced off in Nelson on Friday night in a high-scoring match-up that finally ended in the Saints’ favour with a Dylan Smith overtime goal to cap a 7-6 victory. Selkirk never trailed in the game and twice held two-goal leads, but the Huskies fought back and tied the game with 12 seconds in regulation to force the extra frame. Cody Fidgett and Stefan Gonzales each scored twice in the game, while Darnell Dyck and Scott Swiston added singles. Former Major Junior product Scott Sandercock led the way offensively for Keyano College with a goal and four assists. The series then wrapped up on Saturday in Castlegar, where the Saints took a 3-1 lead through two periods and held on through a scoreless third for their second win in as many days. Cody Fidgett and linemate Thomas Hardy once again paced the Selkirk scoring, with Fidgett scoring the team’s second and third goals off Hardy set-ups. Jackson Garrett opened the scoring for the hosts with a first period marker. James Prigione picked up the win in net for the Saints on Friday, while Aaron Oakley was stellar in his college debut on Saturday. Oakley stopped 31 shots in the 3-1 victory and made a number of tough stops to keep his team ahead by a pair when they ran into penalty trouble in the third period. “Keyano College came as advertised,” says Saints head coach Jeff Dubois. “They were big, physical and worked very hard right through the line-up.” We let things get away from us defensively on Friday night and were very pleased with how the guys responded on Saturday.” The Saints will play Trinity Western at home on Sept. 28 to close out their exhibition season.

Rookie has striking debut By Kolby Solinsky BC Local News
Believe me, it could have gone better. Shinkaruk could have danced a little more, made another move, and maybe gotten a little more speed on the puck. It could have been more convincing, you know? And, it could have been against Antti Niemi. But, as long as we’re enjoying the moment, let’s just say this: Vancouver Canucks rookie Hunter Shinkaruk had one hell of an introduction to the NHL last night in a 3-2 loss to San Jose Sharks. His roof-job snipe against the morethan-capable San Jose netminder Alex Stalock was pretty darn sexy. Officially, Shinkaruk has never scored an NHL goal. He doesn’t have a point. He doesn’t even have a minute of ice time. Last night was a preseason opener, but you couldn’t have told him that – and that’s a good thing. “It was definitely pretty exciting,” said Shinkaruk, who launched himself into the glass in celebration – much like he does in Medicine Hat, and much like he did to celebrate
fellow prospect Brendan Gaunce’s first period notch on Monday, as well. “It was a game I’ll never forget, and it was a lot of fun.” For Shinkaruk, the goal wasn’t just a bonus but probably necessary. He’s considered a longshot to make this team’s 2013, real-time roster, because he was not the first player the Canucks took in this year’s draft (that would be Horvat) and he hasn’t waited through the queue like Gaunce, Nicklas Jensen, or even Jordan Schroeder. That’s the danger of the NHL. Public opinion often becomes real opinion and, when that happens, real, true, once-in-a-draft talents like Shinkaruk get passed over. We can’t say what John Tortorella will decide, but his assistant coach and longtime running mate – Mike Sullivan – had nothing but praise for Shinkaruk: “That’s a goal scorer’s goal... Off the angle like that – top shelf, short side. He’s an easy guy to like. Plays with a ton of moxie. He loves hockey. He’s been a lot of fun to spend the first few days with here.”

Raid nets four for counterfeiting U.S. currency
By Aaron Orlando
Revelstoke Times Review
Over the last week, Revelstoke RCMP raided a local residence where the seized counterfeit US money and counterfeiting equipment. Police arrested four individuals aged in their 20s and 30s, all with local ties. Revelstoke RCMP Sgt. Kim Hall said some of the individuals were known
to police. Three males and one female have been arrested and are awaiting bail hearings. Police allege the individuals were using photocopiers to print US $20, $50 and $100 notes, some of which were passed at local businesses. At least two photocopiers were involved. Police seized two “modified assault rifles” in searches of
two residences and at least one vehicle. Since charges have not yet been approved by the Crown, the RCMP were reluctant to answer many questions about the ongoing investigation. Police wouldn’t give specifics on questions about how much money was involved, how the assault rifles were “modified,” the addresses where the raids

took place, how the alleged counterfeiting ring was uncovered, or exactly how sophisticated the operation appeared. Police believe the counterfeiting operation may be connected to other locations where counterfeiting occurred outside of Revelstoke. Last week, Nelson police also warned of counterfiet U.S. currency being circulated in its city.

RDCK rejects recycling program incentive
By Greg Nesteroff Nelson Star
Where the City of Nelson said yes, the Regional District of Central Kootenay is offering a “qualified no.” The board voted unanimously Thursday to reject financial incentives to collect printed paper and packaging on behalf of industry. That was based on a staff recommendation suggesting key information is missing and the offer won’t pay for requirements to fence and staff existing recycling depots. Presently most of the regional district’s
27 depots lack fencing, staffing, or both. It’s estimated upgrading and manning them would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. “We could not possibly operate that system with the incentives offered,” acting resource recovery manager Raymond Gaudart said. “If we accepted, we would simply be committing ourselves to a taxpayer subsidy which goes against the very principles of extended producer responsibility.” However, Gaudart said residents presently receiving curbside pickup will continue to do so, whether from
local government or private contractor. When the cost of recycling printed paper and packaging shifts to industry next May, industry stewardship group Multi-Material BC will be in charge of collecting recycling fees from businesses and distributing the money to local governments and contractors. Gaudart said by turning the offer down, they’re leaving it up to that agency to provide a depot system, but no one knows what it would look like. “We don’t have details of what they consider reasonable access for our resi-
dents. You can’t commit yourself to a contract that hasn’t got the key terms. Saying no is the only answer given the information we have.” Nelson became one of the few so far to opt in, while others like Prince George and Coquitlam have said no, and others are on the fence. Nakusp mayor Karen Hamling was concerned that by rejecting the offer they might risk reduced

the purposes of trafficking and appeared again on Monday,
These questions often trouble the courts, which must weigh many factors, such as hardship on the part of the payor to pay such back-reaching support, the delay in making the claim, the needs of the child, any increases in the payor’s earnings, the right of the child to share in such increase, and non-disclosure by the payor of earnings increases in the past.

Kimberley Bulletin A 40-year-old man is missing after he jumped into the Kootenay River in Wardner to escape from police on Sept. 11. Cranbrook RCMP’s drug task force found two men in possession of a large amount of cocaine next to the Fort Steele Wardner Road, close to Highway 3. The RCMP arrested one man, but the other ran away and jumped into the Kootenay River, according to an RCMP statement. “Additional officers were immediately dispatched from the Cranbrook area, and Cranbrook and Kimberley Search and Rescue were activated and searched the river, assisted by the RCMP helicopter and a police service dog team,” said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, media relations for the RCMP’s Southeast Division. The man, identified as 40-year-old Jason Baker, has not been seen since and is considered a missing person. “The Cranbrook RCMP are actively looking for him, to ensure his safety, and are seeking a warrant for his arrest,” said Cpl. Moskaluk. The other man police arrested at the scene, Calgary resident Jared Strecheniuk, 35, appeared in Cranbrook Provincial Court
service or none at all. RDCK environmental services manager Uli Wolf responded that Multi-Material BC couldn’t afford to neglect municipalities, but rural areas may be at risk: “I don’t think they can get away with saying a two-hour drive to do your recycling is acceptable. But one hour, maybe.“ Arrow Lakes director Paul Petersen asked what happens if some areas of the regional district buy in
Ms. H met Mr. H when they were 16 and 18 years old, respectively. After a year, they moved in together, and six years later, they married in 1990. A month later, their child was born. They separated once in 1992 and again in 1996. During the second separation, Ms. H obtained a child support order of $181 month, which Mr. H paid. They reconciled for a time, then separated for the last time in 2000. In 2006, they got divorced. In 2001, Ms. H demanded an updated financial disclosure statement from Mr. H. He gave this at the time, but he underestimated his income and omitted an asset (a half-interest in a house in Vernon). In 2002 and 2003, Ms. H again demanded an updated disclosure statement, which Mr. H didn’t provide. In 2005, Mr. H increased the monthly support payments. Finally in 2006, Ms. H claimed, among other things, “retroactive” or past child support, based on the fact that her ex’s income had shot up significantly over the previous few years. She had a lawyer at trial, but she represented herself before the Court of Appeal (she was granted “indigent” or poor status). The Court of Appeal upheld her claim for past child support for 2003, 2004 and 2005. Based on four previous Supreme Court of Canada decisions, the Court of Appeal noted that retroactive payments should normally only extend back to the three previous years, unless there is “blameworthy conduct” by the payor. The earliest starting date for retroactive support should be the date when notice of the claim was effectively given (in this case, 2001, when Ms. H first demanded an updated financial disclosure statement). Here, Mr. H’s conduct was blameworthy because he ignored his ex-wife’s repeated demands for updated financial documents and didn’t boost his support payments as his income went up. But the support he paid in 2001 and 2002 was about the same as what he should have paid. It was therefore only necessary for the court to order past support for the three previous years of 2003 to 2005, when Mr. H should have paid monthly support of $323, $397 and $507, respectively. If a change in your ex’s circumstances (e.g., an increase in their income) would allow a bump in child support, it’s critical that you don’t delay your claim for past child support too long. You’re expected to be vigilant and prompt. The courts note that it’s hard for the paying parent to pay a retroactive lump sum judgment. Also, you cannot claim retroactive child support once your child becomes an adult. Consult your family lawyer for specific advice.

‘Make nice’ with difficult daughter-in-law Mailbox
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
my husband and me. It wasn’t until the next day, when she refused to attend a family function before going on their honeymoon, that I found out she was angry with me because of what I wore. Annie, I wore the dress my son told me to wear, but he will not admit that to his wife. We have not heard from either of them since that day. I am so incredibly hurt. I treated this girl like part of the family. I can’t believe she would ruin a relationship over something so trivial. Any advice? -- Mom from Montana Dear Mom: The dress is just an excuse to
several minutes while working in another area. I didn’t say anything, as it was her home, but it sure hit me that we waste this precious resource. I am not perfect with my water usage, but I hardly would have let my water run when I didn’t need it. Specialists on water shortage have written articles on how soon our water supply could run out. Also, why don’t all sinks have an “instant hot” so we don’t have to run the faucet until the water warms up? I am hoping you will print this and it will save water in some households. -- Concerned Water Conservator Dear Concerned: We don’t always appreciate that we have finite resources on this planet, including water. Please, folks, don’t run the faucet if you don’t need the water. Use cold when you can. Set a timer for
your showers. Let’s not take our blessings for granted. Dear Annie: This is for “Retired Architect in Dayton, Ohio,” who asked why we build houses that can burn down: I suppose if we mountain dwellers
were able to build our ideal homes, we would make certain they were as fireproof as possible. However, there is no such thing as a fireproof construction. We are survivors of the Silver Fire. Many of our neighbors and friends lost their
homes. We saw quite a bit of melted steel. Even concrete burns. The most important thing that every mountain dweller can do is keep a defensible space. -- Banning, Calif. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

limit contact. It sounds as if your new daughter-in-law doesn’t want a relationship with her husband’s family, and he permits it -- either because he agrees or, more likely, because he doesn’t want to upset the applecart. You need to “make nice,” even though it will be difficult. Call or email your son and his wife, apologize for unintentionally selecting the wrong dress, mention something nice about the wedding and about the bride, and sign off by saying you hope to see them soon.

2013 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.
Dear Annie: My son recently married a young woman from an affluent family. When he was first engaged, we began to see less of him. We invited him and his fiancee to dinners, vacations, etc., but were usually turned down. They do, however, spend a great deal of time with her family, so we have just backed off. My husband and I contributed almost half of the money for the wedding. We offered to help with whatever we could, but were told that our help was not needed. Her family did all of the planning. She and her mother conjured up lies to throw us off from planning our guest list, what we should wear to the wedding, etc. We hosted a beautiful rehearsal dinner, with no “thank you” or even a smile from the bride. On the day of the wedding, our daughter-in-law was embarrassingly rude to

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Thursday, Sept. 19, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Think twice before you make promises to partners and close friends today, because you’re tempted to go overboard or promise more than you can deliver. Today’s Full Moon can actually aggravate this. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You are confident about issues at work today, which is why you want others to agree with you. Nevertheless, today’s Full Moon might create opposition against you. Tread carefully. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Parents should be vigilant about children today, because this is a Full Moon day and people’s judgment might be off. Nevertheless, it’s a playful, fun-loving day. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t bite off more than you can chew in family dis-
cussions today. Just stay within your comfort level. And don’t exaggerate things. (Easy does it.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) If you’re at odds with others about financial matters today (which is likely because of today’s Full Moon), be careful what you say. You’re tempted to go overboard or promise too much. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be careful about financial matters today. If shopping, you might be extravagant. Or you might overestimate a financial or business decision. Be aware of this. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today’s Full Moon might create underlying stress for something. Nevertheless, you are optimistic and full of hope! (Hope is the feeling you have that the feeling you have isn’t permanent.)
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Disagreements with others might arise because of today’s Full Moon. However, your own personal optimism about something probably will carry the day. Look for a win/win solution. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Difficulties with parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and people in authority are likely today because of the
Full Moon. On top of this, you might be expecting too much of others. Oops. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a mildly accidentprone day because of the Full Moon’s energy. Therefore, pay attention to everything you say and do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Do be careful with financial decisions, especially related to debt, taxes, inheri-
tances and shared property. Your judgment might be off. Don’t give away the farm. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Because of difficulties with someone today, you might be tempted to acquiesce, give in or give away your fair share of something. Don’t do this to yourself. YOU BORN TODAY You are organized. You also have an appreciation for beauty, which is why many of you
