Plan reveals challenges for Trail recreation
SENSIBLE BC
Campaign slow to get rolling locally BY ART HARRISON Times Staff
BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
A 10-year plan that describes how the City of Trail can face the challenge to maintain and improve recreation facilities, parks and open spaces was revealed to the public Tuesday night. For the most part, the draft copy of the Trail Parks and Recreation Master Plan is receiving positive nods, but the public has two more weeks to guide recommendations for the final report. “The next phase is feedback,” said Trisha Davison, Trail’s director of parks and recreation. “People are welcome to read the document and comment on what needs to be added, modified or deleted before the final version is crafted and given to council for consideration.” Although there are no surprises in the 208page plan that can be viewed on the city’s website, a key learning issue that was identified is the lack of a skateboard park in the Silver City. Further, the plan recommends a short term timeline for the city to take a more proactive role in the development of an outdoor skatepark. “This is really good news for our SkatePark committee because it highlights what we’ve known all along,” said Patrick Audet, committee member. “Which is the need for suitable recreation for our young people besides organized sports in Trail.” Another key point is that the city’s existing facilities are being under utilized, with the Trail Memorial Centre topping the list. The report provides a detailed history of the centre and identifies a short term goal to rebrand and retrofit the facility to significantly increase its use. The iconic city landmark is part of the social fabric of the community, but is dated, underutilized and unsuited to many current and projected future community needs, according to the plan. Change is necessary to ensure its sustainability, continues the report. Another issue the master plan addresses is the Trail Resident Pass (TRP). Until a few years ago, all municipal jurisdictions surrounding Trail contributed to the regional recreation services provided within Trail with tax contributions through the regional district.

Libraries celebrated in October BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
The library isn’t just for checking out books anymore. With the province proclaiming October “Library Month in British Columbia,” Barbara Gibson. Trail and District Public Library board chair, offered a few statistics. “At the end of August, we had for the year, 900 new resident card holder registrations,” she said. “In all of 2012, we did 358.” Although Gibson didn’t attribute the spike in users to a particular section of the population, she said those numbers make it easy to stress “the city’s need for the library.” “When people say that no one is visiting the library, I say tell that to the residents of Trail,” chuckled Gibson. “Residents are signing up in bigger numbers
“ I want to know more about mutual funds.”
than ever before.” This year’s theme to library month, is “Libraries Connect,” which is very fitting considering the Trail library’s recorded Internet (web-based) usage, which exceeded 18,500 views in August, said Gibson. “E-services are really big in our library as well,” she explained. “You can sit at home and pick out the books you want to read and download them. You never have to leave your house, but you do need a library card.” Aside from computer-based resources, the Trail library continues to reach out face-to-face with the community through children and adult programming, held in-house or at venues such as daycares and elementary schools and senior care facilities.

With less than two months left in the Sensible BC campaign for a marijuana referendum, canvassers will be finally showing a visible presence in the Greater Trail area Saturday collecting signatures in Waneta Plaza. Although the local campaign got off to a slow start, Kootenay West campaign organizer, Susan Yurychuk, says things are starting to finally come together. “Things are looking much better, we’re getting more organized,” said Yurychuk. “We started a little slow but we’re up to about 30 canvassers now and we’re getting more as we go.” Canvassers will have a table set up with petitions available to sign at Waneta Plaza in Trail, Saturday, from noon to 3 p.m. and again on Oct. 18 and 26. Yurychuk says the response has generally been positive but the number of signatures for this area is still behind what is needed to make up the required 10 per cent in each electoral district in the province. “We’re a little under 1,500 for our area and we need 5,000 so we’ve got a ways to go,” said Yurychuk. “We don’t have a large population but there are wide areas to cover and we need more canvassers, we need to get places in all the small towns, small businesses seem to work the best.” Provincially, the campaign appears to be on a similar track having only garnered approximately 15 per cent of the necessary signatures. However, provincial campaign organizer, Dana Larsen, believes that everything is on track for a successful campaign. “We’re chugging along, we’re up to 3,000 canvassers and we only had 1,800 at the start,” Larsen said from Vancouver. “It’s hard to estimate but we’re around 60,000 signatures. I think that’s in range to make it by the deadline.” On the local front, Yurychuk stressed the need for registered canvassers and voiced some concern that some people didn’t understand the legal process. “People have to register with Elections B.C. to gather signatures,” she said. “You can’t collect signatures without that. People see the petition online and print it off and go out on their own. If they’re not registered the signatures will be thrown out.” Anyone interested in canvassing for the Sensible BC or want to donate can find more information at sensiblebc.ca and can find more information on the local campaign on Facebook on the Sensible BC Kootenay West page.

Almost 50 enthusiastic frolfers showed up at the Blackjack Cross Country Ski Club/Thin Air Disc Golf course Saturday for the first Thankgiv-Fling tournament Saturday. Entrants played two rounds on the four-kilometre course and were treated to deep-fried turkey in the contest sponsored by Rossland’s Flying Steamshovel. Frolf, or disc golf, is the frisbee equivalent to golf, with participants traversing a set course, usually in relatively wild terrain, throwing different sized and weighted discs into a specifically designed basket with suspended lengths of chain directing the disc into the basket. Scoring is similar to golf with par designated by distance and the variety of terrain encountered. (Above) Jackie Allard tries to salvage a bogey from close in.

Pacific Coastal expands Interior service but not to Trail By Art Harrison Times Staff
Pacific Coastal Airlines has announced some major changes to flight plans in the southern interior of the province, making new connections between some centres in the Kootenays and Okanagan with the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. But at least the time being, no new connections are planned to any flights to and from Trail Regional Airport. Last week, Pacific Coastal announced daily inter-city flights between Cranbrook
and Victoria, with a stopover in Vancouver’s South terminal to load and unload passengers, which began running Oct 2. In addition, daily flights between Cranbrook and Kelowna will begin in midNovember, adding the Okanagan city to the growing list of locations serviced by the airline. “We are very excited about adding Kelowna to our list of more than sixty-five destinations in british Columbia,” Spencer Smith, Pacific Coastal Airlines vice president of commercial services,
said in a press release. “The addition of this new route is an important part of our strategic development plan.” However, even though expansions and new connections may be in store for some southern interior communities, there are currently no new connections being made for the Trail flights. “Anything is possible we have been looking at it,” said Kevin Bothroyd, media contact for Pacific Coastal Airlines. “It’s been discussed but it’s not on the books today.” Although the number of
seats purchased for the existing flights to Vancouver from Trail Municipal Airport have dropped this year, Boothroyd says that isn’t necessarily unusual given some of the industry numbers. “We don’t have exact numbers at this time for Trail but stats were down,” Boothroyd said. “It’s not something particular to that run though there were signs of a general malaise across the board in the travel industry this year. It looks like pretty much the same drop for other airlines in other markets as well.”

Plan goes to council next
SUPPORTING LITERACY
FROM PAGE 1 The TRP is deemed, “not as successful as hoped” because it is complicated, costly to administer, and imposes a barrier to use, with very little net incremental value. “To seek equitable funding as a regional service clearly is something that will be baby steps over the next 10 years,” said Davison. “Although this is quite vague in the draft it is highlighted as a need and we will take every opportunity to look into regional funding for different levels of service.” Once the final master plan is complete, the document will be
submitted to council for consideration some time in November. “This is a community report and the elected officials will guide the decision making and what to implement through the budgeting process,” said Davison. The master plan is an $80,000 capital project that was completed in a process that involved input and consultation with over 60 local community groups and stakeholders, a survey invitation to residents, and guidance from council and senior staff to develop a framework for decision making and priority setting.

Beware of scam artists Trail RCMP have been getting multiple reports about suspicious – Greater Trail – phone calls received in the community. The calls are started off by a person claiming to be a family relative who is in trouble with the law and needs money to get bailed out of jail. In one instance the Trail resident was suspicious and did not provide any banking information and called the police to confirm or deny if their family member was actually in trouble or not. A request for credit card numbers or banking information in this manner is a common scheme and that type of information should not be given out. Police have also been attending calls for service where a suspicious male has attended homes of residents offering manual labour for cash. The male either offers to do odd jobs for some cash or simply asks for money with a story about needing money for auto repairs or needing to care for a child. It has been the experience of the police that the male reported to be saying this is not telling the truth and is creating the story to gain sympathy from the people he is approaching. In the past there have been people approaching residents, one person speaks with the home owner to distract them while the other enters the home to steal whatever cash/wallet is readily available. We live in a tight knit community where people care for and about each other, there just needs to be care used when exposing yourself or your information to strangers. Police would like everyone to be mindful of these types of situations and to be careful when providing personal information to anyone over the phone or allowing strangers access to your home. If you feel that you are being targeted or see something suspicious please contact the Trail RCMP. Corporal Dave Johnson Trail and Greater District Detachment

PROVINCIAL CRANBROOK
set to rule on Council puts deer cull on hold Court assisted suicide
THE CRANBROOK TOWNSMAN Cranbrook urban deer are safe for the rest of the year, since the city won’t be doing a deer cull this fall. At the regular meeting Monday night, council approved a recommendation from the Urban Deer Management Advisory Committee to do a deer count but skip the cull. “Basically the way we’ve been determining how and where to do the cull has been based on complaints to the deer council,” said Coun. Bob Whetham, who is a member of the deer committee as well. “So they are focused on particular areas where we had issues with public safety concerns.” However, this year they’ve found that complaints are down. Whetham said the most recent count is from earlier this year, so it’s hard to pinpoint the number of deer in the city. Whetham explained how the deer count is done. “It’s all conducted at the same time,” he said. “There is one driver and a spotter and they drive every road and laneway in the city.” At the same time there are teams spotting deer all over the city and in this way the deer in direct view of the street are counted giving an estimate of the numbers in the city. Deer that are hidden in the bushes or behind fences are not counted. “Really what it gives you is the minimum number of animals,” Whetham said. “It doesn’t necessarily reflect the total number of deer that are out there.” Whetham said that since the count is done the same way every time, it is still fairly accurate. “Overall, there have been a lot less deer in Baker Hill than in the last few years, but they are coming back,” said Coun. Angus Davis, who lives in that area. Whetham said the committee would conduct another deer count and then perhaps bring back another recommendation next year. “But one thing that was very important was that it was time to get input on the deer management program in general,” he said, adding that the committee will be putting out a survey. “A lot of information has been made available since we started on this and I think we need to know where the public sits in terms of options available to us and how we should proceed.”

Mayor Wayne Stetski said the civil court case involving urban deer that Invermere is involved in is supposed to be in court this week in Vancouver. “It’s been delayed a couple of times but they’re hoping that it will actually go through the courts starting this week,” he said. As part of a referendum ballot on a recreation hall, Invermere will be conducting a survey of residents as to what they want to do around management of urban deer. Stetski also met with the premier and ministers in Vancouver at the UBCM last month mentioning urban deer management as a top priority. He said the result was the province will be putting together a small committee to look at tools that may be available in the future for dealing with urban deer. Last year there were 53 deer euthanized by conservation officers after being hit by vehicles and entangled in fences. Whetham said the education programs combined with more residents fencing gardens and shrubbery has helped to keep the deer numbers slightly lower. Stetski encouraged people who encounter aggressive deer to phone the CO. “If they are really aggressive the conservation officer might be able to deal with it, assuming you can identify clearly which one is the aggressor,” he said.
Black Press warns Kootenay customers of U.S. sales pitch
BY BLACK PRESS A U.S. company is looking at taking advantage of unsuspecting people in the Kootenays “It has come to our attention that a company by the name of That’s Good News has been approaching customers who have had stories in our papers,” said Chuck Bennett, Group Publisher for Black Press in the Kootenays. “This is obvious copyright infringement.” How it works is that once a story appears in the newspaper, that customer is contacted with an offer to purchase a plaque with the story and newspaper’s logo at the top. The cost is $179. “We have had feedback from our customers wondering about this,” said Bennett. “We want them to know that this has nothing to do with Black Press and is actually an infringement on our copyright.” Bennett also asks that anyone receiving this type of request to contact the paper right away. “We are looking into our legal rights to protect our copyright so we would really appreciate hearing from people who are contacted.”

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - The B.C. Court of Appeal is set to rule on Canada’s ban on doctor-assisted suicide, weighing in on a contentious legal case that is expected to end up at the Supreme Court of Canada. The case stems from a B.C. Supreme Court decision last year that struck down the ban and ruled the law violated the charter rights of sick and dying people by preventing them from ending their lives. The federal government appealed, arguing allowing physicianassisted suicide would demean the value of life and put vulnerable people at risk of abuse. Lee Carter, whose mother Kay travelled to Switzerland to seek physician-assisted suicide in 2010, says she hopes the court will affirm the rights of seriously ill Canadians to choose how they want to die. Carter says her mother was forced to keep her plan secret because of the law, but would be thrilled to know her story has helped propel the public debate. Legal experts expect this week’s decision will be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, which last considered the issue in 1993 in a case involving Victoria resident Sue Rodriguez.
B.C. Hydro applies for extra fees for clients refusing smart meters BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press
BC Hydro has formally applied to the B.C. Utilities Commission for approval of extra fees for people who refuse to use the utility’s wireless electricity meters. BC Hydro’s application details costs expected for staff, vehicles and equipment for manual collection of meter readings, and adjusting the smart grid software and hardware to compensate for non-transmitting meters. It also estimates the cost of extra checks for electricity theft in areas where mechanical meters remain. Portable “check meters” are to be deployed to find unexplained power losses in those sections of the grid. “These check meters are $2,000 per unit, and it is anticipated that an additional 200 to 500 units will be required,” the application states. The 130-page application seeks BCUC approval to impose fees announced by BC Hydro in September. It confirms that people who keep their old mechanical meter are to be charged $35 a month, while those who choose a wireless meter with the radio transmit-

ter disabled will be charged a $100 setup fee an $20 a month for manual collection of readings, starting April 1. The BCUC could reduce the fees if it finds them to be excessive, or increase them if that is justified. The $35 per month fee will be charged to customers with mechanical meters starting Dec. 1, and will be adjusted later if the BCUC changes the fee. A cabinet order issued by Energy Minister Bill Bennett in September instructs the BCUC to approve fees that cover the actual cost to BC Hydro of accommodating people who refuse to take part in the wireless monitoring system for the province-wide electricity grid. The cabinet order also demands customers be charged for “failed installations,” if technicians are turned away or access to the BC Hydro-owned meter is blocked. BC Hydro has sent letters to about 60,000 households that have refused smart meters, outlining the options, along with a form to send back making their choice. Those who make no choice will be assigned the $35-a-month default option, effective Dec. 1.

Judge blasts feds for census prosecution THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A Toronto judge lambasted the government Wednesday for its prosecution of an 89-year-old peace activist who refused to fill out the 2011 census, and found her not guilty. Audrey Tobias admitted that she refused to fill out the basic personal information the census required because it was processed using software from U.S. military contractor Lockheed Martin. But the judge noted there are two elements that the Crown must prove for a conviction: the act and the intent. Tobias’s testimony left Ontario Court Judge Ramez Khawly unsure whether she was accurately recalling her intent for refusing the census nearly 2 1/2 years ago, or if the passage of time has “dimmed her memory.” That left Khawly with reasonable doubt of Tobias’s intent and he said he therefore must acquit her. Tobias stood defiant but soft spoken on the courthouse steps, saying she was willing to be dragged off to jail if she had been found guilty. There were 3,700 Canadians who refused to fill out the census, Tobias’s oneday trial heard, and that list was whittled down through various criteria to about 53 people who Statistics Canada recommended taking to court. But the Department of Justice didn’t have to go along with prosecuting an elderly peace activist who was a “model citizen,” Khawly said. “Could they not have found a more palatable profile to prosecute as a test case?” Khawly said. “I mean, really, could the defence have scripted anything better for their cause? Did no one at Justice clue in that on a public relations perspective, this was an unmitigated disaster? Are they that myopic that they could not see the train wreck ahead? “Anyone in Justice who had not seen that coming should be ushered immediately into an introductory marketing course.”
Documents held by PM’s former aide raises more Senate questions THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Stephen Harper’s former chief of staff had a binder full of details on Sen. Mike Duffy’s official and personal activities, but appears not to have provided it to auditors reviewing Duffy’s expenses nor to police when they first opened an investigation. The existence of a binder of calendars, chronicling Duffy’s life over four years, was revealed in RCMP documents filed in court this week. It raises a host of new questions about how much the prime minister’s office knew about Duffy’s movements, at a time when the former Tory senator’s expenses were under the microscope. “The calendar is quite detailed and contains notes of Sen. Duffy’s travel, meetings, teleconferences, social events, holidays, noteworthy current events, speeches, and political interactions,” Cpl. Greg Horton wrote in a
court filing. In early February, the Senate asked independent auditors to look into Duffy’s expenses following allegations he was improperly claiming a home in P.E.I. as his main residence. Some time that month, Duffy couriered the binder of calendars to Nigel Wright, who was then Harper’s right-hand man. “Mary and I copied and redacted my four years of diaries; added a summary of my days in P.E.I, and pics of the cottage under construction etc. and sent it to Nigel by Purolator,” Duffy wrote in a Feb. 20 email obtained by police. Duffy never gave those calendars to the Deloitte auditors and they finished their report in May pointing out the many questions they still had about Duffy’s whereabouts and expense claims. Still, the Conservative Senate leadership did not

demand more detail and backed a report that contained no criticism of Duffy. The news broke shortly afterward that Wright had given Duffy a $90,000 cheque in March to repay questionable expenses. A Senate committee started scrutinizing Duffy’s expenses again, this time connecting more dots with the help of detailed information from Senate finance officials. The matter was forwarded to the RCMP.
By mid-June, the RCMP were talking to Wright’s lawyers about the controversy. But Wright’s legal counsel did not send the binder of calendars to the police until more than two months later. The Canadian Press put questions to Wright about the documents through his lawyers. Peter Mantas responded Wednesday that they “could not comment on the matter.” The prime minister’s office also did not immediately
respond to a request for comment on the new information. Duffy has said he will not comment. The RCMP have outlined four areas of investigation as they file production orders for documents: - The $90,000 transaction between Duffy and Wright. - Duffy’s housing expense claims. - Duffy’s travel expense claims. - $65,000 worth of Senate-paid contracts Duffy provided to a friend over three years.

Retirement Living at it’s Best
In this modern age there is no reason that seniors shouldn’t have the best retirement possible. The ideals of having a comfortable home, being able to set your own schedule based upon your interests, exceptionally delicious and nutritious food with the company of others: this should be the norm, not the exception. Seniors should be able to live in a place that ensures they can maintain their independence while also having their needs met, instead of just a ‘home on the hill,’ Fortunately Mountain Side Village believes in the higher quality of life and aims to provide an entirely new form of housing to seniors that will ensure all residents will have the most opportunity to experience the best years of their life, on their terms.

The agonizing death of evidence in Canada
F
or years now, the federal government has been censuring, muzzling, de-funding, and laying off scientists, librarians, archivists, statisticians, and researchers in its efforts to vacate government involvement in core research, and to shift its focus to industryspecific needs. There are three granting councils that allocate federal funding for research in Canada: the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council (NSERC), and the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR). In constant dollars, from 2007 to 2013, base funding for SSHR has decreased by 10.1 per cent; funding for NSERC has decreased by 6.4 per cent; and funding for CIHR has decreased by 7.5 per cent. Meanwhile, NSERC funding aimed at “company-specific” problems has increased (between 2001 and 2012) by 1178 per cent, while success rates for CIHR grants has dropped by 61 per cent. The government rationale for the de-funding and transfer of funding is that taxpayer-funded research should serve the needs of industry. However, the shift in focus corrupts
core research by creating research parameters that compromise thorough examinations of any given hypothesis or premise. While these restrictions serve the government’s agenda to create an unimpeded/streamlined environment for both industry and government ideology, they endanger the public. Core research that interferes with the government/corporate agenda (but sometimes negatively impacts public health and safety) is discarded or suppressed, while narrowly focused research that doesn’t contradict corporate government messaging is rewarded. Public dangers inherent in this strategy of information suppression and distortion are not always tangible, but they are toxic nonetheless. Consider, first, the federal government’s de-funding of the internationally acclaimed Experimental Lakes Area in Kenora, Ont., (constituency of Canada’s recently-appointed Minister of State for Science and Technology, Greg Rickford.) The only plausible explanation for such a closure would be that its findings would likely serve as an impediment to reckless resource extraction. Instead of addressing chal-

lenges such as the effect of crude spills on water, or the impact of air pollutants on an ecosystem, the government chooses to deny that the problems exist, or to minimize their impacts. Both strategies of evasion (deny or minimize) are enabled in the absence of core scientific data, but the problems remain and the impacts on the environment, including humans, are perpetuated. The track-record of the pharmaceutical industry also serves to highlight the dangers of industry-specific scientific research. The tragedy of Vioxx is a case in point. In its rush to secure a new patent for a new product, the international pharmaceutical company Merck rejected studies on the cardio-vascular risk of its new arthritis and pain drug, Vioxx (rofecoxib), and introduced it prematurely
to the general public in 1999. The drug contributed to an estimated 88,000 to 140,000 excess cases of serious heart disease, of which close to half would have resulted in fatalities, before it was withdrawn from the market on September 30, 2004 In Canada, the drug caused from 4,000-7,000 deaths. Corporate corruption of science is not a new phenomenon. For decades, scientists employed by Big Tobacco successfully created unreasonable doubt about the safety of their products. Their distorted findings, as we now know, were to the detriment of the public. The same dynamics are at play with global warming. Industry-funded global warming “scientists”, unqualified to make pronouncements on global warming and unimpeded by the rigors of submitting their work for peerreview, have created unreasonable doubt about man-made global warming. Consequently, they have impeded efforts to responsibly address what is likely the largest threat to humanity. The Harper government’s decision to cancel the Long Form Census (LFC) is another example of the suppression of core
evidence. A thorough census such as the LFC produces a detailed and accurate picture of Canada’s demographics. Normally, such data is crucial for creating evidence-based policy; however, the comprehensiveness of the data reveals unwanted information. For example, according to the Toronto Star there are currently about 4.2 million people living in poverty in Canada. Once poverty issues are no longer statistically verifiable, they will no longer need to be thoroughly addressed. Not surprisingly, Canada does not have a national antipoverty strategy. Core historical/social science – oriented research, another area targeted for cuts – is vital for a nation’s self-awareness. Without such awareness, a government can create alternate narratives, at will, that may be to the detriment of the public. Censuring, muzzling and de-funding of Canada’s knowledge base are cancers that undermines public safety, health and welfare, as well as our societal pluralism, self-determination, and sovereignty. The first step in combating this assault is continued awareness. Troy Media’s Mark Taliano is a writer, activist, and retired teacher.

development is simply satisfying regulatory requirements that can be quite onerous, costly, and time consuming, involving numerous governmental agencies, and negotiations with land-owners, aboriginal groups, governments, municipalities and other stakeholders. Another obstacle (and perhaps the biggest obstacle) to the expansion of oil pipeline capacity in Canada and the United States is political, as exemplified by the Keystone XL Pipeline case. Keystone XL is the world’s most studied pipeline, and virtually all environmental, engineering, routing, and other engineering challenges pertaining to both the Canadian and U.S. portions have long been put to rest. There’s little question that Canada’s oil will find a way to market: the value represented by Canada’s oil reserves is simply too vast to envision a world where it’s left in the ground, despite the most fervent wishes of environmentalists. The only question is not if the oil will reach markets, it is how. Already, we are witnessing a sharp increase of oil transport by rail to markets in Canada and the U.S., and rail transport is being considered to bring oil from Alberta out to ports in British Columbia. In this regard, environmentalists may wish to be careful, lest they get consequences that they do not like. While generally safe, rail transport of oil is not as safe as transportation by pipeline.

Veteran’s benefits: a pattern of dishonour
An editorial from the Halifax Chronicle-Herald Many veterans of Canada’s armed forces have risked their lives, not to mention the threat of serious injuries, to fulfil military missions on behalf of this country. In return for that commitment and service, as surely almost every Canadian would agree, this country is indebted to our vets. Frankly, it’s a debt that goes well beyond beyond dollars and cents. Some sacrifices can never be repaid. What Canada can and should do, however, is ensure its veterans and their families - of whom so much was often asked - are well taken care of by the nation that put them in those situations of risk. Sadly, time and time again it’s clear that has not been the case. Last week, Guy Parent, the federal veterans’ ombudsman, released a report - years in the making - that found hundreds
of Canada’s most seriously injured veterans face living in poverty when they reach age 65 due to a lack of financial supports. Those numbers are expected to rise as more vets reach that age, so solutions are urgently needed, Mr. Parent rightly argued. Mr. Parent’s report was an actuarial analysis that compared benefits given veterans under the old Pension Act with what’s now available under the new veterans charter brought in in 2006. That review found that while some subgroups of vets have benefited from the charter, others, like those in lower ranks or with more severe injuries and disabilities, fare relatively poorly under the new system. In particular, shortcomings were identified in funding for disabled vets past 65 years of age, support for families and rehabilitation programs.
To be fair, Parliament has improved the charter once, in 2011. But as Mr. Parent correctly notes, the veterans charter was brought in as a “living document” that, it was promised, would be constantly improved. That hasn’t happened. Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino, no doubt aware of the report’s contents, promised an extensive review of the charter by Parliament this fall even before Mr. Parent’s latest work had been released. We’ve often heard finesounding rhetoric from many Conservative politicians about the importance of honouring our troops. But Ottawa’s actions too often dishonour those words, from unsuccessfully trying in court to claw back disability payments from veterans to illegally accessing vets’ private medical records to discredit complaints (for which the government apologized). Our veterans deserve better.

PAUL DESMARAIS
Influential business tycoon dies THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - Paul Desmarais, one of Canada’s most influential business tycoons and a strong federalist, has died at the age of 86. His family said he died “peacefully” Tuesday evening at his country estate northeast of Quebec City surrounded by his family, including his wife and four children. Born in the Northern Ontario mining town of Sudbury in 1927, Desmarais was one of Canada’s most powerful figures, straddling the worlds of business and politics. Not only did he build Power Corp. into one of the country’s largest conglomerates, Desmarais was also a staunch defender of national unity. Desmarais’ successful business journey began modestly in 1951 with the revival of the family’s ailing bus company. A series of smart moves resulted in the creation of a holding company that in 1968 made a shareexchange offer with Power Corp. With his company’s diversified holdings in insurance, transportation, paper, media, and financial services, Desmarais was one of the most notable members of his province’s business elite, often referred to as Quebec Inc.
www.MyAlternatives.ca
During his final annual meeting as chief executive in 1996, Desmarais explained his federalist views. “My profound attachment to Canada stems from the great liberty and freedom that my ancestors were able to enjoy in building their lives in a new country, the same liberty and freedom which allowed me as a young French Canadian from Northern Ontario to realize his dream in building a business in all parts of Canada and abroad.” In a 2008 interview with French magazine Le Point, Desmarais described his identity. “I was born a Franco-Ontarian. I chose to live in Quebec. I am Canadian. Canada is my country. Quebec is my province.” Desmarais’ strong political views led critics to accuse him of persuading his friend, Nicolas Sarkozy, to adopt a pro-Canada foreign policy, when the French president professed his love for Canada during a recent visit to Quebec. After Sarkozy was elected president in 2007, he awarded Desmarais the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, France’s highest order of merit that was established by Napoleon in 1802. Other recipients include Lech Walesa and Alexander of Russia.
NOBEL PRIZE
Chemists’ work led to computer models
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Martin Karplus, Michael Levitt and Arieh Warshel have won this year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry for laying the foundation for computer models used to understand and predict chemical processes. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on Wednesday said their research in the 1970s has helped scientists develop programs that unveil chemical processes such as the purification of exhaust fumes or the photosynthesis in green leaves. “The work of Karplus, Levitt and Warshel is ground-breaking in that they managed to make Newton’s classical physics work side-byside with the fundamentally different quantum physics,” the academy said. “Previously, chemists had to choose to use either/or.” Karplus, a U.S. and Austrian citizen is affiliated with the University of Strasbourg, France, and Harvard University. Levitt is a British and Israeli citizen and a professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Warshel is a U.S. and Israeli citizen affiliated with the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. The Nobel Prize for Literature will be awarded today and the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize will be announced Friday.

“We had trouble doing anything on Saturday, it wasn’t just that it was our own end, our breakouts, our passes – we had trouble doing everything.” The team has shown promise offensively, and received better-than-average to sensational goaltending at times, but defensively as a team it has struggled, allowing more than twice as many goals, 43, than Penticton, 19.

Wayne Weaver and the rest of the Trail Men’s Retiree Curling Club kicked off the first round of their season on Wednesday. The club boasts 12 teams with over 50 retirees playing in a four-session season, with games going at 1 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday at the Trail Curling Club.
Shorthanded teams set the stage for Super League shellackings BY TIMES CONTRIBUTOR It was with understandable and unavoidable absences that left some teams shorthanded in the Kootenay Savings Super League, and one game - the Myron Nichol vs Desiree Borsato match - postponed. With Skip Ken Fines and third Dave Kelly still on holidays, Maglio Ladies kept a relentless pressure on Team Fines throughout the game, forcing interim skip Craig Fines to make clutch draws to the button for singles in the third and fifth ends. Skip Heather Nichol threw up perfect guards in the seventh and eighth to block any Fines entry to the four foot, leading to consecutive steals of three on their way to a 10-2 win. Meanwhile, Team Albo put their undefeated record on the line against Deane Horning’s rink, with both teams missing some of their top guns. Horning and Don Freschi were in Vernon curling for T.J. Perepolkin at the Prestige Classic cash ‘Spiel, losing in the quarterfinal to eventual finalist Brady Clark from the U.S., while Albo’s brother and third was away hunting. Filling in for Horning was former area residents, skip James Mackenzie and lead Sue Hicks. Albo took one in the first and was looking to steal
in the second before Mackenzie made a perfect come around tap for three. Albo was missing his trusty third, giving up steals in the third, fourth and fifth, but appeared to get back in the game with a fantastic double take-out for three in the sixth. Momentum was shifting, with Team Albo laying three virtually buried when James came to throw his last rock in the seventh, but he dashed any hopes of an Albo comeback with a laserlike takeout through the tiniest port to count one. After another steal in the eighth, Albo had enough, conceding a 10-4 Horning win. Team Ferguson got in the win column with an 11-1 demolition of Russ Beauchamp’s foursome. Beauchamp was again unable to attend, and spare skip Tom Hall did not have the magic from the week before. Skip Ron Ferguson set the tone early, making a cross-ice double take-out for two in the first, then throwing perfect guards in the second, third, and fourth for consecutive steals of two and a commanding 8-0 lead. Hall drew for one in the fifth to get on the board, before Ferguson stormed back with three in the sixth forcing Beauchamp to shake hands. Kootenay Savings Super League goes every Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Trail Curling Club.

Saints try to stay perfect Submitted The Selkirk College Saints look to record back-to-back victories on home ice to open the 2013-14 B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League regular season this Friday when the University of Victoria visits for a 7:30 p.m. faceoff at the Castlegar Recreation Complex. The Saints are coming off a 7-2 victory over Eastern Washington in their home opener that their power-play explode for five goals on seven opportunities. But Selkirk will look to get more production at even strength this weekend against an opponent they eliminated from the league playoffs in March. “Every year that I’ve been a part of this league, UVic has a team that is hard working and tough to play against,” says Saints head coach
NFL
Jeff Dubois. “They’re coming off a tough opening weekend against Thompson Rivers and they’ve had a couple weeks now to make some adjustments and get better, so I’m expecting the same type of tight game that we usually see when they come to town.” The Vikes dropped both ends of a season-opening doubleheader with the WolfPack at home on September 27th and 28th, losing 6-1 and 6-5. The team is led offensively by former BCHLer Shawn Mueller, who led all BCIHL goal scorers last season with 22 and finished tied for second in points with Saints captain Logan Proulx. Tickets are available at the door: $8 adults and $5 Selkirk students, staff, seniors, and children 6 and older.

his weekend, the Smokies will celebrate family with the annual Parents Weekend. For players, it’s a chance to visit, and play in front of family and friends, while for parents, the weekend marks an opportunity to discover what Trail, and the Smoke Eaters, have to offer. Typically, the annual event is scheduled on a weekend with two Smoke Eater
home games, and this year’s schedule offers a pair of tantalizing fixtures against Salmon Arm (Friday) and the Coastal Conferenceleading Powell River Kings Sunday afternoon. The team (and the tireless volunteers from the Spud Shack) usually host a banquet following one of the games for players, coaches, parents and billet families to meet, greet and touch base. It’s also a nice touch that the weekend includes an off-day Saturday. Hockey certainly becomes a grind as the season progresses, and for the players and their families to enjoy a day together away from the rink has to be good for overall health and well-being. We all know players are driven, motivated individuals, but they’re also transitioning into life as young adults,

and the family day offers them a chance to step away from the stress of competing for a playoff berth and enjoy the comfort of loved ones. For a broadcaster, it’s an opportunity to learn more about the players I watch each and every week, too. And while geography can certainly dictate how many trips to Trail an out-of-town parent can make over the course of the season, Smoke Eater parents have been gracious enough to welcome our crew into their living rooms and computer screens for years. Some parents are certainly more conversational than others (my pre-game routine last season included a brief chat during the pre-game warmup with one father who attended most of the Smokies’ games, home and away). It doesn’t take much time at all to realize just how proud
of their sons the Smoke Eaters’ parents are, and Trail fans should take pride in the fact that these players have chosen our community to chase their lifelong dreams. Junior hockey provides life-long bonds for players, and while the daily camaraderie on the ice, on the bus and in the dressing room goes a long way toward relationshipbuilding, so do events like these. Kudos to the Smokies, and junior hockey teams around both this league and in other circuits, for promoting family and togetherness. So this weekend, if you see somebody in the stands who looks like a parent, say hello and shake their hand. After all, without their dedication (and the dedication of hundreds of other parents across the BCHL), we wouldn’t have a chance to enjoy the best Junior “A” hockey league in Canada.

him, “He has the right to shop in that store just as you do.” The local authorities have no sympathy for male rape. The FBI has a division to cover violent crimes, but they mainly focus on female rape. Somehow, male rape is an untouchable subject. I am writing you to ask that you refer victims of such crimes to a protection agency that will go to bat for them. Will you publish this letter to generate responses for other victims? This sort of crime needs to be explored, publicized, exposed by news agencies and brought to the attention of someone
could find him? I listed what little information I had on Craigslist, hoping someone would recognize him, but no luck. This might be my lost love. Do you have any suggestions for finding him? -- Betty Dear Betty: It is quite possible this man isn’t responding to your emails because he is not interested. You are dangerously close to being a stalker. Please stop searching for this particular guy -- or any “lost love,” which is too great an expectation to place on someone. Consider other men who might have more potential if you back off and give them time to get to know you. Dear Annie: I had to weigh in on the letter from “Joe NotSo-Cool,” who asked whether he should travel in Europe for a while or be a “hardworking loser in a loser job.” That phrase told me that what might be necessary for Joe
to achieve his desired goals is an attitude adjustment. The millions of low paying and less than glamorous jobs being done by Americans throughout the country are not “loser jobs.” They are an integral part of our economy
and are being done by honest, hardworking people to the best of their ability. There is dignity in this, period. If Joe took one of these entry-level “loser jobs” in his field, he might eventually achieve his dream. This is what happened with
me. I started on the lowest rung possible in my field, and now I have a position I could only dream about. I am set up perfectly in my career because I worked hard and took pride in the job I was doing. -- Been There in Hawaii

And while that is a lower number than for women, it is still considerable, and the victims should receive the same respect from the authorities. All rape victims, male or female, can find support through RAINN (rainn.org) or by calling their hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (ohl. rainn.org/online).

Dear Annie: Male rape is a subject that is seldom mentioned. A close and dear male friend (in his late 40s) was severely raped twice. He was kidnapped from his residence, drugged, sodomized and left naked on the first occasion, and then his residence was broken into, and he was tied up and raped a second time. The general public may think this is rare and unusual. Not as much as you’d believe. After the attacks, my friend was examined in a hospital, and a rape kit was done. He then began attending support groups sponsored by different church organizations. He was surprised to learn that hundreds of other men have undergone similar experiences. My friend later saw one of the perpetrators shopping in a well-known store and immediately called his local investigating officer. The officer told

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Friday, Oct. 11, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might want to be aware that personal details about your private life could be made public today, especially in the eyes of authority figures -- parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs. Do you need to do some damage control? (Think about it.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Do something different today, because you want adventure and a change of scenery. At the very least, take a different route to or from work. Be a tourist in your own city. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Tie up some loose details about inheritances, insurance matters or anything that has to do with shared property today. This is where your focus is (money and security). CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be prepared to go more
than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. Be tolerant, patient and prepared to give a little. (No biggie.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Make a to-do list and work to get better organized today, because this will please you. You’re busy doing repairs at home, plus you’re partying. You want it all! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a playful day. Accept all invitations to have fun and socialize. Enjoy sports events and activities with children. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Family conversations are significant today, especially with a female relative. If you have a chance to cocoon at home, you’ll enjoy the privacy. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a busy day! Short trips, errands and conver-
sations with neighbors and siblings will keep you on the go. Reading and writing projects are favored. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Financial issues and cash flow have your attention today. If shopping, shop during the daytime, not in the evening. (You’ll be glad you did.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The Moon is in your sign

Giuseppe "Joe" Veltri
November 2, 1918 to October 10, 2003 The day God gave His angels the command to bring His son home Your days on earth were over, and we were left alone. Our tears felt like rain, our hearts were broken in two. We can find no words to justify just how much we miss you. At rest with your wife in God's garden, forever. Remembered and loved here on earth by your family.
Il giorno che Dio ha dato suo angeli il commando di portare suo figlio a casa I tuoi giorni sulla terra erano finiti, e siamo remasti da soli Le nostre lacrime si sentivano come la pioggia e i nostri cuori erano rotte in due. No possiamo trovare parole per giustificare quanto ci manchi. Adesso sei a reposo con tua moglie nel gardino di Dio. E sei sempre ricordato e amato qui sulla terra dalla tua famiglia.
Always in our thoughts Tony, Sam, Cathy, Teresa, Sally Maria, Angela, Tricia and Kelly

- 2 - 3! 1 1. Know your subscription number
As you can see, in order for your mechanic to determine optimally when to perform a specific service he/she requires a history of what has been done in order to determine what needs doing. Fortunately the computer age makes record keeping easier than ever. If you are using one service provider for all your maintenance and repairs make sure they keep a record of what has been done. If not make sure you yourself are keeping a record. If your maintenance methods include various service providers you need to know what services your vehicle is due for. The lube, oil, multipoint inspection is not always going to completely cover what your vehicle needs. This approach can cost you more in two ways. Sometimes extra work is sold. “When was your fuel filter last changed?” “I don’t know go ahead and change it” or “I don’t know but leave it for now, the vehicle is running fine. The first case may be a complete waste of money. The second may lead to a breakdown on the highway, a tow, and a new fuel pump because the old one was working double duty pushing the fuel through a clogged filter. nutechauto@telus.net
