Lead testing results show positive trend
TEA TOTALS
BY ART HARRISON Times Staff
When the call went out last September by the Trail Area Health and Environment Committee (THEC) for another round of children's blood lead testing the citizens of the Greater Trail area responded in force. In a departure from its usual practice THEC expanded its sample base beyond the usual focus area of East Trail, West Trail, Tadanac, and Rivervale and reached out to the surrounding neighbourhoods and communities of Oasis, Casino, Waneta, Warfield, and Annable as well. The results are in and they are promising. At a Tuesday night meeting THEC pre“The trend sented the results of is moving in the 2013 children's blood lead testing clinic the right which indicated that the direction” average blood lead level DR. ANDREW LARDER for children aged six to 36 months in Trail and Rivervale is 4.9 µg/dL (micrograms per decilitre) with 93 per cent of children testing below 10 µg/ dL. These results are within striking distance of the program's 2015 goal of an average of 4 µg/ dL and 95 per cent of children testing below 10 µg/dL. “The trend is moving in the right direction,” said Dr. Andrew Larder, senior medical health officer with Interior Health. “I congratulate everyone involved in the program.” The results are particularly encouraging given that the participation rate in the 2013 clinic was large enough to provide solid data to base the results on. This round between 70 and 75 per cent of the children in the target age groups and areas were involved in the testing. “The Trail program made efforts to re-engage the community and it seems to be working,” said Larder. “People should be pleased with the work done by THEC, with everyone working together we're seeing results. The important thing is continuing to see a downward trend.” Having a larger proportion of the population available for testing also provided an opportunity to analyze the results in a more comprehensive manner. After the previous round of testing in 2012 it appeared that the blood lead levels of children in Trail had plateaued, or stabilized, at levels that weren't as encouraging given the desired 2015 goal.

Bridge lighting plan pitched BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
Lighting up the Victoria Street Bridge with LED lights programmed to suit Silver City events could be an illuminating attraction and draw people to the downtown core for a look-see. With that idea in mind, the Downtown Opportunities and Action Committee (DOAC) approached council members at the governance meeting Monday with the $350,000 proposal. “Bridge lighting is exciting and is limitless with how you can change the colours to reflect the season,” explained Mike Martin, DOAC chair. “For example, the LEDs can be programmed green and red for Christmas or Smokies colours during game night,” he said. “I think for that
reason it will be an attraction and conversation point in town and people will want to come and see the latest light show.” The DOAC approached council with an option to consider when deciding if the project will be green-lighted in this year’s budget. Martin pointed out that making the bridge a focal point, with lights reflecting off the Columbia River shores, may be a more defined feature to the downtown, rather than the already planned major gateway features. Trail council has allotted $363,000 for the major gateway structures to be installed during Phase 2 of the Victoria Street project, set to begin this spring. See LIGHTING, Page 3

our families have to start all over again.” Although the donated funds have begun the process of rebuilding, it isn’t enough to sustain those in the hardest hit areas, and Thompson worries that the rest of the world will soon forget about the typhoon’s impact to the island country. “I worry that people will forget like what happened with Hurricane Katrina,” she said. “I think that is what is going to happen and the Filipino people will be forgotten. “The funding needs to be ongoing and cannot stop now,” Thompson continued. “But how do we do that?” In addition to the fundraiser, the local Filipino community shipped care packages of food and clothing to family members shortly after the storm, however, those provisions have yet to arrive for those in need.

Improved testing methods yield accurate results
FROM PAGE 1 Larder explained that the previous results had been somewhat skewed by the testing methods that were used to take the samples. The 2013 results are based on venous samples only, meaning blood samples taken from a vein rather than a finger. Finger poke samples, known as capillary samples, have a greater risk of contamination. A review showed that over the 22-year history of children’s blood lead testing in Trail, capillary samples have had statistically higher lead levels than venous samples. “With the results from this year we re-calibrated the results from the last 10 years from the venous samples only,” Larder said. “Since 2010 the proportion began to increase in capillary tests, although venous is the gold standard. We’re working with the prevention program at Interior Health to make changes to get the proportion lower. In future we’ll look at capillary samples separately from venous samples.” Larder said that THEC, the information it gathers, and the working relationship between the partners — the local community, Teck, the Ministry of the Environment, and Interior Health — provides an excellent example of public health management. “What makes this so wonderful is that the program is driving decisions Teck is making on a day to day basis,” he said. “This is having a direct impact on the health of the community.”
More help needed
FROM PAGE 2 “I sent a box to my family before Christmas,” said Bella Tilberg, a Trail nurse with family living in the hardest hit region of Tacloban. “And it still hasn’t arrived to help my sister and nephew.” Tilberg owns a home in Apitong, a community near the downtown core of Tacloban, a highly urbanized city that is a popular tourist destination. “I have a house there that I planned to be my retirement home,” explained Tilberg. “The foundation is still there but I haven’t seen pictures of the damage yet.” She is in contact with her sibling, a teacher who lost her job after the typhoon destroyed the school that employed her. Tilberg said although news channels are reporting that electricity has been repaired in Tacloban, conversations with her sister tell a different story. “All this time later there is still no power. My sister said they are using solar lights,” Tilberg explained. However, people are still hungry, looting prevails and aid from organizations like the Red Cross is not reaching those affected. The Filipino Society has no further fundraising events planned, but continues to accept monetary donations from the community. For information or to donate to the cause, call Thompson at 693-5476.

Rossland Search and Rescue will be hosting its annual Avalanche Awareness Day at Red Mountain on Saturday. The course is free and runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Avalanche Awareness Day offers valuable lessons By Art Harrison Times Staff
Although snowpack in the backcountry locally hasn't been quite as deep as it has in other years that doesn't mean that there is no danger if you decide to venture out on skis or snow machines. Along with the risk of becoming lost and requiring the assistance of groups like the Rossland Search and Rescue (SAR) there is still the possibility of becoming swept up by one of the most awe inspiring demonstrations of the raw power of nature: an avalanche. As a means to help prepare people for the possibility of being involved in an avalanche Rossland SAR will be holding its annual Avalanche Awareness Day training session at Red Mountain Saturday.

tial for an avalanche and build a snow shelter, which he says can make the difference between surviving in relative comfort if you are lost overnight or succumbing to hypothermia. As part of the preparation for heading into the backcountry Jones recommends carrying a pack including a transceiver, a snow probe, a shovel, a dry change of clothing, food and water, and some kind of directional device like a compass or basic GPS. For Saturday's activities, however, all that is required is appropriate clothing for the weather and a willingness to learn. The Avalanche Awareness Day activities, which will begin at 9 a.m. at Red and run until 3 p.m., is free of charge, and open to all ages.
Lighting could be downtown attraction FROM PAGE 1 The gateway features are four red arches that will be installed on either side of Victoria Street in the area of the Best Western and Plus Columbia River Hotel and before the bridge in the vicinity of the Trail Memorial Centre. “We suggest that those gateways be delayed or cancelled and the money allocated to lighting the bridge,” said Martin. “The gateways are markers and may get lost in the city landscape, but bridge lighting will really be a stand out.” To aid with funding the
project, Martin suggested the DOAC could approach local businesses for corporate sponsorship, and recognize those partnerships during a lighting ceremony and on a plaque at the bridge gateway. Additionally, he included the future pedestrian bridge, at the south end of town, in the bridge lighting plan by proposing that the 1,000-foot river crossing be adorned in complimentary LEDs at a later date. “Trail would have these two bookends of the downtown,” he said. “And I also suggested a future concept of lights along the Esplanade,

“This is our annual event where we offer education for people who are considering going into the backcountry,” said Graham Jones, a director with Rossland SAR. “We teach people how to use the probes, how to shovel snow away rapidly using gravity to help, use a transceiver, and just generally become more familiar with the equipment.” Although the climate conditions in our area have been relatively mild this year avalanche risk at the alpine level in Kootenay Boundary is listed as “Considerable.” As well as helping people to familiarize themselves with equipment and perhaps the new transceiver they got for Christmas, Jones said they will be showing participants how to take snow profiles to begin determining the poten-

that would be reflective in the river.” Council will discuss the lighting project and consider the specific request to make a change in the downtown revitalization plans to focus on the river, confirmed Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs. “Our first budget meetings begin in the next few weeks,” he said. “The option of bridge lighting will be addressed during that process.” To visualize how the Trail bridge could be highlighted with 128 LED lights strung across the four arches, Martin referred to the 100-year-old
Langevin Bridge in Calgary, and the Tynehead Pedestrian Bridge in Surrey. For the last few years, those sites have been an attraction with highlighted beams and trusses, and touted a community milestone that connects neighbourhoods with colourful displays that do not cause glare to motorists. The LEDs expected lifespan is approximately 35 years of operation if the lights run eight hours daily, and consume the power of about three households, according to the Calgary Municipal Land website.

Classroom conditions deteriorating, says BCTF president

support, and we see the decline of classroom teachers as well as specialist teachers, then at some point we’re not going to be able to meet the needs of all our students,” he said Tuesday. Class compositions in this province are worse than ever before, Iker said. There are now over 16,000 classes in the province with four or more students with special needs and nearly 4,000 with seven or more specialneeds students. MLA Michelle Stilwell said in an e-mail the claims the BCTF are making come in the middle of a difficult round of bargaining with the union. She added that her government has increased funding for
students with special needs by 60 per cent since 2000, to more than $870 million last year. There has also been an increase of special needs education assistant positions, she said, rising approximately 43 per cent over the past decade. Iker said B.C. also has the worst classsize average in Canada and it would take the province hiring 6,600 teachers just to get to the Canadian average of teachers per students. Classrooms are becoming more complex, he said, where there are all sorts students who need extra support and at the same time there is a decline in learning specialist teachers. Since 2002, B.C has

lost around 700 special education teachers and more than 300 other teachers with specialized skills. Local president of the Mount Arrowsmith Teachers Association, Debbie Morran, said she agreed more support is needed for students in this district. “There are more needy students coming into our system than ever before,” she said. “If you sat down with a classroom teacher and asked how the nature of teaching has changed in the last five years, they would tell you it is so much more difficult to try and meet the needs in the classroom when the needs have grown exponentially.” Stilwell said in just the last two years
the government has invested $120 million into the Learning Improvement Fund to support special needs students in complex classrooms. Iker said while the Learning Improvement Fund was created to provide additional support to students with special needs it didn’t work, as school districts had to use that money to buy back teachers that they had to cut due to lack of funding. Morran said there are more kids in this district with behavioural issues than ever seen in the past and they are not getting the support they need. The fact that teachers in the province have gone 12 years without a collective agreement mandating class sizes

has had a huge negative impact on this, she said. Adding to the problem is the fact that B.C. has the highest child poverty rate in Canada, she said. “In this district we have young families who can’t afford to clothe their children and feed them regularly,” she said, adding that classroom teachers use money out of their own pockets to try and provide basic necessities for their students. She said there needs to be a province-wide poverty reduction plan, as well as funding to provide food programs, B.C. needs more specialized teachers to deal with the emotional issues these kids are coming to school with, and more teacher counsellors, she said. Iker agreed. “There used to be a time when you could count on… you could say this child needs this support, and so arrange the time with the learning assistant or the special education resource {worker} or a teacher counsellor.” Iker said the B.C. government needs to invest in education as the student-educator ratio in this province is the second worst, behind only Prince Edward Island, with about $1,000 less per student than the national average. “One thousand less is just not acceptable in a province as rich as British Columbia,” he said. The school district is facing a $3.4 million shortfall over the next five years, and 90 per cent of expenditures in the district go to salaries and benefits. When asked if local teachers would consider a temporary wage adjustment to help recoup some costs, Morran was cool to the idea. “We are constantly expected to do more with less and we have been doing more for less for years,” she said. “And we are not going to negate and give away our salary in order to compensate for this government’s lack of priority in terms of funding public education.”

PEOPLE RUSSELL JOHNSON
OBITUARIES BUCHNER (NEE TWYMAN), MARGARET MARY CLAIRE – May 10, 1920 January 1, 2014 Margaret Mary Claire Buchner (Twyman) was born on May 10,1920 to Josephine (Cadieux) and William Twyman. Margaret grew up alongside her siblings Joe and Theresa in Edmonton, Alberta. There are many stories of breezy, chilly walks over the High Level Bridge to school and then work. Making money also led to fondly remembered vacations in Banff, Jasper, Vancouver and Sylvan Lake. During the war years, Joe’s friends and fellow airmen spent many hours visiting at the family home - of course the main attraction was the chance to chat up and dance with his sisters - Margaret and Theresa. After the war ended, Margaret decided to head into the Great White North (Yellowknife) for some adventure. Margaret found Bob Buchner in the Con Mine office. They joined forces, spent lots of time in canoes, sailboats and a cabin cruiser enjoying the lake. Then came the girls Merrill, Theresa and Cyndi. After 17 years in the north, the family moved to Kimberley. 7 years passed and brought another move - Trail. Margaret kept the home site organized, grew a garden – her favorite flowers were pansies because they had cheerful faces, she played badminton and in later years took on volunteer work. Margaret sold her home in Warfield and moved to Fruitvale so Theresa and Ted would be close enough to “fix” her TV remote a few times a week. She also got a scooter with which she zoomed around the Liberty store (the staff were amazingly quick to bring the groceries to her). She lived in Fruitvale for almost 15 years including being one of the first on the list for the brand-new Mountainside Village. The assistance of home support
staff enabled Margaret to live independently for many years. Special thanks to the staff that took time to create and share happiness with her. In the last year, Margaret moved to Rosewood Village. Margaret and her family appreciated the loving care and assistance provided by the “RWV” staff. The family would like to thank Drs. Peacock, McCoid and Campbell for their care over the years. Margaret touched many lives over the years and she will be greatly missed by us all. Margaret was predeceased by her husband Robert (Bob), her parents William and Josephine, fatherin-law Art; mother-in-law Eva; her brother Joe (sister-in-law Miriam); her sister Theresa Saunders; brothers-in-law Howard, Bill and Doug Buchner, niece Margaret Cape and “4th daughter”, Barbara Jefferson. She is survived by daughters Merrill of Christina Lake, Theresa (Ted Lund) of Fruitvale and Cyndi (Stephen Joyce) of Delta; niece Lori (Darrel Rieberger, Lindsay, Tessa) of Trail and Betty-Anne Buchner (Rick Horne, Joanne, John, Gary); nephews Joe Twyman of Edmonton, Mark Saunders (Gail Calderwood, Kelsey, Claire) of Chemainus, Wayne Buchner (Betty, Douglas, Latisha) of Calgary; sister-in law Kay Buchner of Calgary and granddaughter Lisa Hammond (Larena, Kennan and Jayna) of Trail and her Cadieux cousins A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, January 18, 2014 at 11:00 am at Holy Trinity Parish at 2012 3rd Avenue, Trail with Father Jim McHugh, Celebrant. Bill Clark of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements. Flowers sent to the church are welcome or, as an expression of sympathy, donations to the CNIB at #101- 1456 St. Paul Street, Kelowna, BC V1Y 2E6 or Trail SPCA at 7700 Highway 3B, Trail, BC V1R 2L9.

Actor was ‘Professor’ on ‘Gilligan’s Island’
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Actor Russell Johnson, who became known to generations of TV fans as “The Professor,” the fix-it man who kept his fellow “Gilligan’s Island” castaways supplied with gadgets, has died. He was 89. Johnson died Thursday morning at his home in Washington State of natural causes, said his agent, Mike Eisenstadt. Johnson was a busy but little-known character actor when he was cast in the slapstick 1960s comedy about seven people marooned on an uncharted Pacific island. He played high school science teacher Roy Hinkley, known to his fellow castaways as The Professor. There was seemingly nothing he couldn’t do when it came to building generators, short-wave radios and other contraptions from scraps of flotsam and jetsam he found on the island. But, as Russell would joke years later, the one thing The Professor never accomplished was figuring out how to patch the hole in the bottom of the S.S. Minnow so the group could get back to civilization. During its three-season run on CBS, critics repeatedly lambasted the show as insipid. But after its cancellation in 1967, it found generations of new fans in reruns and reunion movies. One of the most recent of the reunion films was 2001’s “Surviving Gilligan’s Island: The Incredibly True Story of the Longest Three-Hour Tour in History,” in which other actors portrayed the original seven-member cast while Johnson and two other surviving cast members narrated and reminisced. In a 2004 interview, Johnson analyzed the show’s lasting appeal. “Parents are happy to have their children watch it,” he said. “No one gets hurt. No murders. No car crashes. Just good, plain, silly fun - that’s the charm.” He admitted he had trouble finding work after “Gilligan’s Island,” having become typecast as the egg-headed professor. But he harboured no resentment for the show, and in later years he and other cast members, including Bob Denver, who had played the bumbling first mate Gilligan, often appeared together at fan conventions.

Neil Young needs to change his tune
F
or four-and-ahalf decades, Neil Young has been on outspoken social commentator, using his craft of rock and roll to critique the failings of U.S. domestic and foreign policy. After four students were gunned down in a confrontation with Ohio police at Kent State University in the late 1960s, he penned the angry song, Ohio, galvanizing the social frustrations of the Boomer generation: Tin soldiers and Nixon coming, We’re finally on our own. This summer I hear the drumming, Four dead in Ohio. He’s followed up with other unforgettable protest anthems, like Southern Man. You could say that, among the vast array of well-meaning but ill-informed entertainers who take on social causes, Young has stood as a cut above; one who has earned his chops. That’s why his latest campaign against Alberta’s “oil sands” is disappointing. It’s not that there aren’t concerns that
should be expressed, but that Young has done such an inexact job of it. His darts, you might argue, have missed the board. The campaign started with his declaration that the area around Fort McMurray looks like Hiroshima. I get his point – I’ve been to Fort Mac, and trust me, there is a lot around there that isn’t pretty. But likening the significant boreal disruption of that northern Alberta community to the site of the first nuclear holocaust is offensive for two reasons. The first is that it’s just not accurate. Take a look at the photos of Hiroshima. You will see a devastating landscape of ash, in which life is obliterated and virtually every sign of civilization has been stripped to its skeletal remains. That’s not what you’ll see in Alberta’s north. Instead, you’ll see human activity in the extreme. The second is that such a comparison is a melodramatic depiction that dishonours and diminishes the horrific fate experi-

enced by Hiroshima’s victims. Families were wiped out in an instant in a rush of red-hot wind. Those who survived the initial blast lingered on in agony for days or died later from horrific tumours. They would have every right to be deeply offended by Young’s careless choice of words. Nor is it accurate to claim that Fort Mac is “occupied by Big Oil,” as he told CBC’s Jian Ghomeshi this week on the program Q. Who are the victims of this occupation? Who would have the oil companies evicted? Would Fort McMurray even exist as anything more than a tiny trade route, if it weren’t for the oil sands development?
Here is what Melissa Blake, the popular threeterm mayor of Fort McMurray had to say in a blog about the community’s sentiments towards its biggest employer: “I’m a 100 per cent proud supporter of the oil sands. I have personally worked in the business for nine years and my husband is still employed by the oil sands. The oil sands have afforded my family a great living. All of our citizens are here because of the oil sands. This city, this region is well off directly as a result of the oil sands. All of our small and large local businesses are here for the opportunity the oil sands provided.” Some occupation. The fact is the people of Fort McMurray, and even Alberta, for that matter, do not stand alone in support oil sands development. Canadians know that Alberta’s bitumen has been the engine that has kept the country’s economy turning over when the manufacturing heartland swooned. And the people of B.C., Ontario and most other corners of the country
are so little concerned about the environmental consequences that they continue to buy and drive 4x4s, take their Ski Doos to the backwoods and fly around the world – all with fossil fuels. When those people start pedaling bicycles to work, then the finger-pointing can begin. At 68, Young has had his day in both rock and social commentary. He has reached a point where he sounds a lot more like a cranky old man than an angry young one. Blind to his own hypocritical acts, he expects the public believe that because he drives an aged Lincoln powered by biomass, he is somehow purer than the rest of us. Must be something in the sanctimonious California air he left Canada so many years ago to enjoy. If Young really wanted to walk to the talk, why doesn’t he move to Fort McMurray and run for city council? That’s the kind of commitment that has some meaning.

which are taxed at a lower rate than cash income). The flattening of tax rates and a laissezfaire approach to the economy are simply too sacrosanct to address, even in the face of mounting evidence of their harm. Recognizing this intransigence on the part of the elected, one new organization, WageMark, is taking the case to the companies, and the consumers, themselves. Along the lines of Certified Fair Trade or Certified Organic, they offer a means to see, right on the packaging, the equality ethic of a company. Certified WageMark businesses have a maximum of 8:1 ratio between the highest paid employee and the lowest. To contrast that with the current situation, the second-highest paid CEO in the country in 2012 earned 500 times the national average wage, and over 1,000 times that of someone earning minimum wage. They’re a long way off the mark. It’s a novel idea, and only time will tell if it catches on, but there’s one thing working in its favour. While ballooning CEO salaries have never been shown to boost company performance, reputation certainly has. If the growing attention to income inequality translates into consumer demand, then company policies will follow. And consumers are voters, so if the message resonates at the till, it may resonate at the ballot box as well. Ryan Meili is an expert advisor with EvidenceNetwork. ca, a Saskatoon Family Doctor and the Director of Upstream, a new, national non-profit dedicated to improving health outcomes by addressing the social determinants of health.
Tories launch snitch hotline for tax cheaters THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - The lines are now open to snitch on tax cheats. The federal Conservatives launched the hotline Wednesday, saying they’ll also reward informants who provide information that leads to a big bust. Informants who provide information on major international tax evasion of more than $100,000 could get between five to 15 per cent of the money that’s recovered, excluding interest and penalties, said Revenue Minister
Kerry-Lynne Findlay. “This will be a critical tool for recovering taxes that would otherwise be lost to tax cheats,” she said. Informants won’t get anything if they’ve been convicted for being part of the tax-dodge scheme, she added. The Tories plan to spend $30 million over five years to improve efforts to fight tax evasion both in Canada and abroad, Findlay said. The Conservatives are eager to collect all the taxes they’re owed as they grapple with balancing the books. Cracking
down on tax dodgers was one of the marquee items in the last federal budget, aimed at bringing in hundreds of millions of lost tax dollars. Everyone needs to play by the rules, Findlay said. “This is the basis of our Canadian economy and of the programs that we enjoy, the quality of life we enjoy,” she said. “Most Canadian pay their fair share, want to pay their fair share, want to be in compliance. Those who deliberately are not, we intend to go after aggressively.”

In Praise of Marriage There is much to say in praise of the institution of marriage. Beyond the purely practical reason that two can live almost as cheaply as one, there is a great benefit in having two parents to help in raising children. The unmarried birth rate in the United States is now over 40%, and most of America’s poor children live in single-parent homes. The prospects for impoverished children who are being raised by a single parent are bleak compared to their wealthier counterparts with two parents. They are more likely to drop out of school, be incarcerated, and to have children while they themselves are still children, all of which perpetuates the cycle of poverty. This is an old story, and it seems hard to tell it without sounding like a fusty old moralizer. But, perhaps there is good reason for old-fashioned morality here. Human beings are born helpless, we usually die helpless, and there are lots of occasions in between where we need help. That is a pretty good reason for getting married, as if being in love and wanting to spend the rest of your life with someone aren’t reason enough. – Christopher Simon

Has York University turned back the clock on gender equality?
H
as York University turned back the clock on gender equality? Is the university’s decision to grant a male student an exemption from a group assignment that required him to work with female students a threat to the rights of women? While I personally consider the student’s request offensive, I am not convinced that the level of criticism aimed at York University is entirely fair. Sometime in September, a male student, enrolled in an online class, requested an exemption from an oncampus group assignment on the basis that his religious beliefs louise prevented him from intermingling with women. His professor Everyday Theology denied the request and looked to the university for a “principled statement” in support of his decision. Instead, the university instructed him to accommodate the student. The professor refused to comply and the student completed the assignment without any further complaint. When the request came to light in January, public opinion quickly came down against the university; there is a consensus that with this exemption the university is condoning sexism. The university explained that it approved the request not for religious reasons, but because the course was advertised as an on-line course, and there was not an expectation that students would have to attend on-campus sessions. Had the course been an on-campus course, the university would have denied the request. It seems to me that the university was trying to correct a customer service problem: the course was not delivered in the manner in which it was marketed, and the university wanted to fix the problem. One wonders, though, why the university did not issue a straightforward refusal of the request for religious accommodation, and then deal with the requirements for an on-line course as a separate matter. The university’s explanation has had little effect on the public debate that has pitted religious accommodation against women’s rights. How far should a public institution go to accommodate an individual’s religious beliefs when those beliefs conflict with a societal value? There is no easy answer, although it seems reasonable to me that a public institution would opt to resolve this type of conflict on the side of inclusivity. While I think that the university made a misstep and ‘got it wrong,’ I also think that some of the criticism leveled at York has been overblown. Emotional rhetoric, such as evidenced in Federal Justice Minister Peter Mackay’s comment, “…we did not send soldiers to Afghanistan to protect the rights of women to only see those same rights eroded here at home,” serves no purpose in helping Canadian society sort out the thorny issue of religious accommodation. I was initially appalled that a public university would countenance this request. And while I have modified my reaction somewhat based on the university’s explanation, I still find the student’s request unpalatable. I shudder when anyone uses religion to marginalize women, or any other group of people, and I feel very strongly about gender equality. But, I disagree that given the reasons for this exemption, York University is eroding women’s rights in Canada or promoting sexism. Trail resident, Louise McEwan is a freelance religion writer.

Busy 2013 for West Kootenay highway patrols Submitted NELSON – In 2013 the West Kootenay Traffic Services and West Kootenay Integrated Road Safety Unit (IRSU) had a very busy year, according to Cpl. John Ferguson. Drinking and driving, seatbelt and distracted driving are leading factors in serious or fatal collisions, he said in a press release. “We unfortunately had nine fatalities in the area. Of these nine fatalities two were alcohol related and two were pedestrian fatalities. The other causal factors were speed, mechanical or distracted driving. Our condolences go out to the families and friends who lost loved ones.” According to numbers released by Ferguson, 90 impaired drivers were taken of the road and 120 suspensions were issued in the West Kootenay Boundary area. The units served 1,430 seatbelt tickets and 3.25 xcharges 4.7 (cell phone). Drug 325 distracted driving

possession seems to be on the rise with 500 drug seizures. Excessive speed charges which goes with a seven-day seizure of the vehicle is also on the rise with 63 seizures. The units served over 7,300 violation tickets. ”The West Kootenay Traffic and IRSU units are striving to reduce crashes and injuries to our motoring public by enforcement and education in high crash areas. We urge all people to slow down, buckle up, stay off the cell phone and get a designated driver. The consequences of an impaired driving charge financially and emotionally on an individual are tremendous.”

Trail seeks road revival
By Times Staff The Trail Smoke Eaters hit the road for this season’s final road trip to the Lower Mainland this morning hungry for wins. The Smokies embark on a three-game swing starting with the Surrey Eagles on Friday, the Langley Rivermen Saturday, and a tilt against the Coquitlam Express Sunday.

Secco set for showdown By Jim Bailey
Times Sports Editor
Greater Trail curlers will look to advance to their respective provincials this weekend as the Trail Curling Club hosts the Interior Masters 60-plus Playdowns on Saturday and Nelson welcomes seven teams to the Senior Men’s Kootenay Playdown this weekend. Three teams slide out of the hack in the Masters event at the Trail Curling Club including the Trail rink skipped by Primo Secco, with third Pat Fennell, second Brett Rakusson, lead Serge Pasquali, and fifth Stu Campbell. The five veteran curlers are ready, having honed their skills to a keen edge playing twice a week in the Trail Men’s Retiree Curling Club. “I think they will do real well,” said playdown organizer Cal McKerracher. “They have a pretty strong team, right down to the fifth man they are all really good curlers.” But the Secco rink will face some stiff competition in the Bill Carlson foursome from Castlegar and the Vern Best team from Grand Forks who will look to knock off Secco and earn the berth into the provincial tournament. Secco last skipped his rink to the provincials in 2011 when it was hosted by Trail, whereas Best played third to skip Gerry Foster in the 2012 Masters provincial event in Chilliwack. The City-of-Trail-sponsored event will kick off at 9 a.m. Saturday with Secco taking on Castlegar’s Carlson. Grand Forks will play the loser of the Trail-Castlegar match at 1 p.m. and the winner of the first match at 4:30 p.m. The team that wins two games automatically advances while a three-way tie will result in a shootout. Meanwhile, the Trail Curling Club will be represented at the Senior Men’s Kootenay Playdowns by the Rob Ferguson rink, with third Ken Fines, second Russ Beauchamp, and lead Terry Bublitz. The Ferguson rink begins its quest for a berth in the B.C.s tonight at 7 p.m. versus the Norm Fahselt foursome from Creston. Greater Trail curlers Bill King, lead, and Don Freschi, second, will again unite with skip Tom Shypitka’s Cranbrook rink and Nelson curler Fred Thomson, third, who are looking to repeat after winning last year’s event in Trail. Both Thomson and Freschi were part of Deane Horning’s B.C. Men’s championship team in 2005, while Thomson has won the B.C. mixed title twice, and Shypitka was third for the 2010 men’s provincial championship team skipped by Jeff Richard from Kelowna. Castlegar’s Myron Nichol rink, who won a berth in the provincials last season by winning the B side, will play Nelson’s Nando Salviulo foursome in the opening draw, with the Ken McHargue rink from Elkford crossing brooms with Creston’s Doug Botthamely tonight at 7 p.m. Shypitka has a bye and will play the winner of the Nichol-Salviulo match at 9 a.m. Saturday. The A-event final goes at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Bullanoff off to Nationals By Times Staff Warfield native and weightlifter Erik Bullanoff will lift against the best in Canada when he competes in the Canadian Junior Weightlifting Championships in Scarborough on Saturday.
Bullanoff has been training with Cody Abbey at Maverick Strength and Conditioning in Nelson and his results at competitions at Seafest in Semihamoo and Ogopogo in Winfield qualified him for the national champion-
ship. The 19-year-old made the B.C. Team by lifting a combined total of over 200 kilograms in the snatch and clean-and-jerk in the 85-kilogram weight class. He has been weightlifting for just over a year.

T
he Nitehawks have only one game at home this weekend and the Smoke Eaters are away. But, local fans having nothing much to do can lend their support to local hockey players just by logging on the Internet. The Jones boys, yep, them again, are in the running for the most prestigious amateur hockey award in the United States, and anyone, anywhere, can influence the selection process. Access the BCHL website (many already do, so that seems easi-
est) or NCAA hockey, or the award page, and in a couple of clicks you can cast a vote for Connor or Kellen to move forward in the Hobey Baker award process. That’s the award Paul Karya won (‘93), back in the day. Not that it had anything to do with his pro career, but still a nice piece of history to hold. In fact, as big an achievement as the HB nod is seen to be, it seldom presages a star pro career. Most of us would not recognize most of the award winners in the trophy’s 33-year existence, although a check of each year’s three finalists would yield some familiar names. If you are so inclined, you can vote daily for the next month or so. It is quick and easy no signing in but a bit of scrolling to find the local boys - and keep tabs on the totals.
As always, the twins, so close in looks and athletic abilities, are being assessed as if they were very different. Connor had almost twice the votes of Kellen after the first three days of voting. You will remember, of course, that Kellen was NHL-drafted five years ago, and Connor was not. An indication of the of the quality of the Vernon Vipers team with which the Jones earned two national junior A (Royal Bank Cup) championships is the fact three of the twins’ ex-teammates are also on the opening ballot. This won’t be top of mind for Connor and Kellen - that would taking that one final step
to NCAA championship status that eluded them last year when they were upset in the national final - but I am certain they would appreciate the support from home. •Meantime, the tube sport this week will be all about spotting the neighbours in Vegas, where at least dozens of locals are currently attending the sold out Continental Cup of Curling. Fans from across the region have flown, driven or bussed to the desert to take in the action, and some of the other, “action,” available, I am sure. If we are vigilant this weekend, at least some of, “what happens in Vegas,” will not be staying in those environs.

quickly and then spend the rest of the evening with my parents. Well, dinner was a disaster. One couple was an hour late, and my inlaws insisted on waiting for them. Then, my husband and I, along with his brother, were put at the “children’s” table with three kids under the age of 13. After we finally managed to leave, we ran to my parents’ house only to find everyone else had gone. My husband considers this a successful outcome, but I do not. My family was deeply offended by my in-laws’ usurping our only evening together. Am I crazy to think he
same without her. I’m only 13 years old, and this confuses me. I’m mad at God for taking my grandma from me. My friends say I haven’t been the same, that I’m gloomy and moody and have a short temper. My sister shows hardly any emotion, but I can’t think about my grandma without crying. I feel like I’m taking too long in my grieving process. Am I? Do you have any suggestions? -- Crying Granddaughter Dear Crying: We are so sorry to hear about your grandma. Obviously, you were close to her and miss her terribly. There is no set timetable for grieving, and some people take longer than others. However, if you haven’t managed to move beyond your initial depressed state for six months, please ask your parents to make an appointment for you to see your doctor and a grief
counselor, and perhaps discuss this with your clergyperson to understand how God could take your grandma from you. Talking to others who are trained to discuss your grief can help enormously. Dear Annie: The 42-year-old lady who
said she doesn’t have many friends and never could read body language well has classic symptoms of Asperger syndrome (recently renamed high-functioning autism). My son wasn’t diagnosed until he was 17, and it has made a world
of difference. He was always a bit quirky -- a round peg in a square hole. Most people with Asperger’s are highly intelligent and dependable and find it difficult to lie because they see the world very literally. -- HFA Mom

should have honored the original plans? -Still Angry Dear Still: Your husband is wrong to think your plans should be changed because someone else rearranged them without your knowledge or permission. He obviously wanted to spend time with his family and not yours, which was unfair under the circumstances. When you agreed to attend his family’s dinner, you also should have set a time to leave and done so, regardless of where you were in the meal. A better compromise would have been for him to have dinner with his folks while you spent the time with yours. While not ideal, it would have been better than anger, resentment and an argument. Now let it go. You’ll do better next time. Dear Annie: My grandma died six months ago, and I miss her more than anything. Life just isn’t the

Dear Annie: My husband’s family came to town for a week over the holidays. We made plans to be with them every evening except one. My parents were in the final stages of a job relocation and were leaving town that same weekend. We gave my family the one evening, Sunday, that was not delegated to my inlaws. My husband’s parents asked us twice to go out to dinner with them and their friends on that same evening. We politely declined both times, explaining that we had plans. That Sunday morning, we found out that my inlaws had made dinner reservations for us anyway. Somehow, to my husband, this meant we had to reconsider our options. I thought it was extremely rude. After several hours of arguing, my husband and I compromised by saying we would go to dinner with his parents, eat

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a loosey-goosey day in many respects; for example, it’s a poor day to make important business decisions. It is, however, a wonderful and creative day for you! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Enjoy entertaining at home today. You also will enjoy family discussions, which will be a bit frank and unusual. People are inclined to let their hair down today and tell it like it is. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel indecisive today, as if you don’t know what to do first. You feel torn in different directions and vaguely confused. However, this is a creative day for writers and actors. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a poor day to make major purchases or to act
on financial decisions. Wait until tomorrow to make any commitments or spend money on anything other than food. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, but it is void of course. That means fun and creativity will flow beautifully; but logical, rational decisions are questionable. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might want to hide today. You feel the need to withdraw and do your own thing privately. Enjoy your solitude. Relax. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a great day to schmooze, because people are in the mood to socialize. A female friend in particular might be entertaining company. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Personal details about your private life might be made public today. Be aware
of this. Hopefully, you have nothing to hide. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a poor day to make travel plans; nevertheless, you have a strong desire to escape or get away from all this. You want some fun and adventure! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Postpone important decisions about inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt
and insurance matters. This is a poor day to initiate these things. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. This simply requires a little compromise and accommodation. No biggie. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might come up with
some creative solutions at work today. On the other hand, you might feel vague, lost and plagued by shortages. Either way, this is a poor day for making important decisions. YOU BORN TODAY Although you are dedicated to what you do, you also are whimsical and playful. It’s as if you never quite grow up. Nevertheless, you can make an excellent parent. Even though you

No provincial funding for highway rescue truck Current truck heavily damaged during rescue on Trans-Canada By Alex Cooper
Revelstoke Times Review
There will be no money coming from Victoria to pay for a new road rescue truck, and that leaves local officials looking for the cash to pay for the new vehicle. Rescue One was heavily damaged in a crash on the TransCanada Highway on Dec. 20, 2013. The cost to repair the truck is estimated to be near the value of the 13-year-old vehicle so Revelstoke Fire Rescue Services is looking at buying a new truck. The question is how it’s going to be paid for. The province says road rescue isn’t in its mandate, so it won’t pay, and the city doesn’t want to fund for a service that operates almost entirely
outside its boundaries. That has fire chief Rob Girard looking for funding sources for a vehicle that could cost several hundred thousand dollars. That could come from grants, corporate sponsorships or even good old fashioned bake sales and raffles, he said. “You just go to start turning stones to find out where these grants are available,� said Girard. “I see it as a grant writing exercise, but it’s not going to be an easy exercise by any means.� As far as Mayor David Raven is concerned, highway rescue is a provincial responsibility. He used the term numerous times during an interview about the matter. “They’re picking up people off a provincial highway. It’s actually a federal-provincial [highway]. It’s the Trans-Canada. It’s the number one highway. Where does it become

the responsibility of the community?� he said. “In my mind, and I feel quite strongly for this, it’s a provincial responsibility to fund those programs.� The Revelstoke Times Review requested an interview with an official from Emergency Management BC to discuss the road rescue program. Instead, we got e-mailed a statement from Gord Anderson, the province’s assistant deputy fire commissioner. The statement explained the province’s position on highway rescue, saying that road rescue was not mandated in B.C. “There is no requirement for a community to provide them and in many areas across B.C., they are not,� Anderson wrote. “However, many local authorities see it as a community investment or
civic responsibility, even in neighbouring corridors directly out-
side their municipal boundaries, because they are considered an
important extension of their community frequently used by the
people who live, work, invest and visit their towns and cities.�
