The second step toward a prettier downtown Trail began this week as workers turned over flower beds to make room for sustainable perennials and removed bricks one-by-one from Rossland Avenue medians to make way for a new concrete look. Sierra Landscaping, the project’s prime contractor out of the Okanagan, had equipment and labourers at the Gulch sites prepping the area for new irrigation lines and new growing soil to add to the city’s existing beds. Inlaid brick work was removed from the medians and placed on palettes to accommodate repairs to damaged curbs at the Rossland Avenue intersection. The old bricks will be stored in the city’s public works yard and will be reused for other landscaping purposes or used in city parks, explained Andrea Jolly, Trail’s communications and events coordinator. “A concrete skirt will replace the old bricks around the planting area,” she added.

BEAVER VALLEY

Grant helps brings seniors and youth together BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

Kids played cribbage and seniors headed back to class as part of the Beaver Valley Age-friendly program and the New Horizons grant. Tuesday afternoon was the final seniors luncheon, providing a chance for seniors to get out and about, until September and organizers took time to recognize the seniors and students who spent quality time together at the monthly luncheons, as well as doing other organized activities throughout the school year. Fruitvale Mayor Patricia Cecchini

“The gist of (the grant) was to involve the seniors with the youth so we teamed up with the elementary school.” PATRICIA CECCHINI

says the activities, funded by the $19,000 government grant, have created a familiarity between young people and the older generations in the area. “The gist of [the grant] was to involve the seniors with the youth,

so we teamed up with the elementary school,” she said “One of the things I found out was the seniors were scared of the youth in terms of safety, and the youth were just as scared of the seniors. “By having the youth talk to the seniors and the seniors go into the school and work with the youth, they are no longer afraid and we are taking away the unknown. One of the things we have been trying to address is socialization and isolation for the seniors. This gives them a venue that they can socialize.” Vickie Fitzpatrick, coordinator of

the seniors program at the Fruitvale Community Hall says the program was special because the two groups learned from each other. “The students got to tell us what they wanted to learn from the seniors,” said Fitzpatrick. “One thing [they did together] was chess and it took off like crazy. All of the kids play chess now. History was also huge. The seniors shared a catalogue from the 1920s. “The kids said, 'nice dresses,' and the seniors told them they were slips and the kids had never seen a slip before. It was priceless.” See PROGRAM, Page 2

Richards says her daughter had a great time doing the research and mom even had a great time giving her a hand where she could. “It's pretty neat and she is excited and it was cool helping her put the video together,” she said. Olivia is one of 200 students from across Canada that have their projects featured on the Heritage Canada website and she is looking for some local support to help her win that trip to

Ottawa. “Fifty per cent of her final score [in the contest] to win the trip to Ottawa is the voting, so we are just trying to get the word out,” explained Richards.

When Grade 5 student Olivia Richards first began her school history project on the '61 Trail Smoke Eaters, getting on the Internet to try and win a trip to Ottawa wasn't the first thing on her mind. “I don't think I have ever won anything before, so I think it would be really cool [to go to Ottawa],” said the student from Vancouver’s Edith Cavell Elementary. Olivia's project is being recognized on a national level by Heritage Canada as part of its Young Citizens contest. The winner, with the most votes and highest score from a judges’ panel, will end up flying to the nation's capital for a national heritage fair. To start her project, initially for the annual student Heritage Fair in Vancouver, Olivia took a trip to Trail to begin her research. Olivia's mother, Paula Richards, a Trail native, says the idea for the history research project came from her father, John Ircandia, a former Smoke Eater who is friends with a few players from the world championship 1961 team. “I grew up in Trail, and my dad still lives there,” she said. “We've got a family connection to the area and my dad knows a lot of the '61 Smoke Eaters and he is friends with them, so we came up in February and interviewed a few of them.” Olivia sat down with three former players, Cal Hockley, Dave Rusnell and Norm Lenardon. “We got the actual story from [the players'] point of view,” said Richards. One of Olivia's favourite facts she uncovered during her research? “When the Smoke Eaters left to go on their journey to Europe, they left on Wayne Gretzky's birthday,” she

ing things that I’ve been able to see is when the youth are talking to the seniors on the street, calling them by name,” she said. “That’s been huge. To me, if that’s all we got out of this, then it was more than worth it.” Grade 7 students also participate in the monthly luncheons put on by the Beaver Valley Age-friendly

Extra set of hands at Trail market helps shoppers By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

As Trail Market on the Esplanade launches its second run today, visitors may notice a bright red wagon being pulled through the outdoor venue by a set of hands ready to unburden guests of their heavy loads and wheel their shopping bags to the car. Helping Hands is a new service being offered to the community by the Trail Association for Community Living (TACL) during the market days, with the motto, “flag us down, we will lend a hand.” Last year, TACL ran a popcorn booth during a couple market days, but this year the team was ready to step further into promoting the agency and the people within it. “We just kind of realized that we needed to do something different,” explained Gail Miller, TACL’s community living manager. “One of our staff said what about helping hands and taking stuff to cars because that’s where I always run into a problem.” From there, the team talked with its community members, and with everyone in agreement that helping would be a fun thing to do, the initiative rolled forward

during the market’s opening day June 6. “It’s a way for us to give back to our communities and also to really showcase how capable our folks are,” said Miller. “And we can use it as a way to evaluate their interactions with the community in a largely crowded and noisy environment.” Many of TACL’s clients are actively seeking work, and Miller maintains,”you never know when there could be a prospective employer out there.” Kim Saplywi was first at the wagon’s helm and said he enjoyed meeting and helping people to their cars, and the experience was so much fun he’s ready to do it again. “I had my turn last time but it was so much fun that I’m looking forward to doing it again,” he added. The service is free-of-charge although donations are never turned down, chuckled Miller. “We are giving back to the community,” she said. “A lot of people think that anyone with a disability isn’t capable. “So we are also here to show how well our folks work and how very capable they are.” TACL runs a number of programs in Greater Trail that

Individuals from the Trail Association for Community Living (TACL) are offering a new service at the Trail Market on the Esplanade called Helping Hands. Visitors weighed down with heavy groceries and goods can place their bounty in TACL’s wagon and one of the association’s volunteers will roll the shopping bags to the person’s car at no charge. (Left to right) Serena LePointe, Joey Ward, Scott MacKay, Stephanie Henley, Kim Saplywi. connects people with barriers to employment or recreational activities. The association received the highest level of accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities earlier this year, for the organization’s substantial conformance to the non-profit body’s standards. “I thought it was a nice touch

having the Helping Hands crew on site to help folks get their purchases to the car,” said Norm Casler from the Trail and District Chamber of Commerce. “Some people such as seniors may be hesitant to purchase too much because it’s hard carrying all that great product and what have you,” he continued. “The Helping Hands crew took care of that and

they had a lot of fun helping too.” The market is expecting 53 vendors during the second round, up 10 from two weeks ago. The newest food vendor is Rustic Crust Pizza, who along with the Local 480 selling burgers, will be joined by Wicked Southern BBQ and Ray’s Greek Food. For information about Helping Hands, contact TACL at 368.3503.

Kittens, CIBC branch help raise cash for SPCA By Liz Bevan Times Staff

On Thursday, two nine-week-old kittens stopped by the Trail CIBC branch to provide a distraction for employees and customers, potentially wooing them into taking them home. Melissa Ganzeveld, Trail SPCA board member and CIBC branch manager, says the kittens set up shop in the bank to help raise money and awareness for the local SPCA and the upcoming Paws for a Cause, a fundraising walk to be held in Genelle in September to help fund animal care. “It's more about raising awareness than raising money, but we are doing that at the same time,” she said. “We've raised $150 already, but it is more about getting the word out [about Paws for a Cause].” Bank employees had a naming ceremony for the two kittens first thing in the morning and it was decided the two would be dubbed Dime and Nickel, a fitting choice considering the location.

Ganzeveld says the kittens are just some of the animals available for adoption at the Trail SPCA and when Jackie Galley and James Kearney came into the branch to do some banking. They left the bank with the intention of driving down to the local SPCA branch to adopt one of the kittens on display. To adopt a kitten at the local SPCA branch, Ganzeveld says it would cost $155. The fee includes a few things kitten owners would need when adopting a new pet. “The SPCA came in this morning and did a presentation to let everyone know that for these kittens, it has already cost between $400 and $500 to get them just to this point, and that is what we are raising money for – to cover that difference,” she said. “For the $155, [the kittens] come fixed, with six weeks of insurance, tattoos in their ears and they come with the first month of food.” To find out more about adopting a new furry family member, contact the Trail BC SPCA at (250) 368-5910 or trail@spca.bc.ca.

PROVINCIAL OBITUARIES JONES (NEE SAUNDERSPAUGH), SHARON – of Calgary passed away June 9, 2014 . To view obit and funeral arrangements see: mountainviewmemorial.ca. *** HUSTON, ADAM – It is with overwhelming sadness and grief that we announce the tragic and undeserving passing of our son and brother, Adam Huston on June 15, 2014 in Edmonton, Alberta. Adam was born on April 18, 1987 in Trail, BC and lived in Fruitvale, graduating from J.L.Crowe in 2005. He was actively involved in all sports from the age of 5, excelling in every-

thing he did. His true passion, however was hockey and he was the unofficial spokesman for the Vancouver Canucks. Adam was never one to sit idle. He started working at fifteen, determined to build his wealth and get his butler. He continued to work locally until he moved to Kelowna after graduating to begin his electrical apprenticeship. There he created a whole new network of friends, never forgetting his

original friends. He moved to Calgary in 2012 where he continued his work as an electrician and amassing even more friends. Adam had a way of making an impression with everyone he met. He was generous to a fault, helping all he met in any way he could. He was extremely loyal to his friends and family. If friends were money he would be a millionaire. Adam leaves behind his parents Randy and Donna and his brother Logan. He is also survived by his grandma Margaret Conn along with his uncles and aunts Scott (Barb) Huston, Roger (Starla) Huston, Kellee

(Bob) Woods, Kelly (Maureen) Conn, Melinda Conn (Al Lewis), Bill Hryhor, Rhonda Conn, Casey (Linne) Sovran, Jennifer (Ovi) Marcon and James Conn. He is also survived by his numerous beloved cousins. He was predeceased by his grandpa and grandma Mel and Doris Huston, his grandpa Joe Conn, his aunt Brenda (Conn) Hryhor, and his uncle Dale Pedersen. Also very special to Adam were his buddies Sugar Ray and Lily. A Celebration of Adam’s life will take place on Friday June 27th at 1:00pm at the Fruitvale Memorial Hall. Bill Clark of Alternatives Funeral and Crema-

tion Services has been entrusted with the arrangements. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence by visiting the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made in Adam’s name to KidSport™ Greater Trail, c/o Trail Aquatic & Leisure Centre, 1875 Columbia Avenue, Trail, BC, V1R 4T8. The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to everyone for their tremendous support during this extremely difficult time. Knowing how much Adam was loved by so many people has eased their pain in so many ways and kept them going.

Teachers’ union calls for mediation to settle strike THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - With no sign of a deal on the horizon, British Columbia’s unionized teachers called Thursday for mediation in hopes an independent party could turn the key in deadlocked negotiations. The BC Teachers’ Federation asked for the third-party mediator three days into a full-scale walkout by more than 40,000 teachers across the province. “Without having some extra support of a mediator, this could drag on,” said union president Jim Iker, adding that he has requested veteran mediator Vince Ready step in. “We’re serious about getting a deal, that’s why we’ve called for mediation.” Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the government is willing to sit down with a mediator but noted a facilitator was already involved in discussions. “Whatever it’s going to take to get an agreement, our negotiating team and this government is prepared to do what we can,” he told reporters. “But it has to be an agreement that brings the (cost) gap that we clearly see

... together.” Both sides have said they want a deal by June 30, though it appears unlikely. F a s s b e n d e r described the union Thursday as “in its own orbit” and appealed directly to teachers to evaluate for themselves union statements he called “misinformation.” Iker, meanwhile, said two more days of bargaining lapsed with no progress because the government continues to under-fund the system “to pay for tax cuts for corporations.” On Wednesday, the teachers’ union submitted a contract pro-

posal with an outline of costs to the government’s bargaining agent. The collective agreement includes an eight-per cent salary increase, $5,000 signing bonus and $225 million over the life of the fiveyear deal for preparation time, teacher on call compensation and improvements to health benefits. It also proposes a new, $225 million annual fund to address class size and composition issues. F a s s b e n d e r rejected the proposal as unaffordable and unrealistic. “To every teacher in this province, I clearly

recognize that you’re losing wages. I’ve heard the stories about food banks getting set up to help teachers through this time,” he said, appealing directly to those on the picket lines. “I fully understand the impact but I also clearly understand that if we’re going to get an agreement, the BCTF has to become realistic. We are not

even close in where we need to be in order to get a negotiated agreement.” The government contends that the union’s salary and benefits demands adds up to a 14.5-per cent increase. That’s well above the seven-per cent average settlement reached with 150,000 members of a range of other public sector unions,

Fassbender said. The government is offering a wage increase of seven per cent over six years and a $1,200 signing bonus. It says classroom conditions would be addressed

by an ongoing investment of $75 million annually in a learning improvement fund. Overall, that would put $375 million towards learning conditions over five years, government said.

Approval flies in the face of democracy, global warming

here was little doubt the federal government would approve the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project, regardless of public opposition or evidence presented against it. The prime minister indicated he wanted the pipeline built before the Joint Review Panel hearings even began. Ad campaigns, opponents demonized as foreign-funded radicals, gutted environmental laws and new pipeline and tanker regulations designed in part to mollify the B.C. government made the federal position even more clear. Canadian resource policy is becoming increasingly divorced from democracy. Two infamous omnibus bills eviscerated hardwon legislation protecting Canada’s water and waterways and eased obstacles for the joint review process, which recommended approval of the $7.9-billion project, subject to 209 conditions. The government has now agreed to that recommendation. The time-consuming hearings and numerous stipulations surely influenced the government’s decision

to restrict public participation in future reviews, making it difficult for people to voice concerns about projects such as Kinder Morgan’s plan to twin and increase capacity of its Trans Mountain heavy oil pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby from 300,000 to 900,000 barrels a day, with a corresponding increase in tanker traffic in and out of Vancouver. And to keep democracy out of fossil fuel industry expansion, the government switched decision-making from the independent National Energy Board to the prime minister’s cabinet. Probably the most egregious omission from the review process is the dismissal of impacts such as climate change and rapid oil sands expansion. Here’s how the panel justified not taking these into account: “We did not consider that there was a sufficiently direct connection between the project and any particular existing or proposed oil sands development or other oil production activities to warrant consideration of the effects of these activities.” As for climate change

from burning the product, “These effects were outside our jurisdiction, and we did not consider them.” A pipeline to carry diluent from the coast to the oil sands to dilute bitumen that would then be carried back to the coast in another pipeline for export to world markets in supertankers does not have a “sufficiently direct connection” to the oil sands? And the impacts of the oil sands and its products on climate are not relevant to the project that makes these impacts possible? What the hell? This project should never go ahead. And not just because no amount of money will undo damage from pipeline or tanker spills and accidents along the route, the B.C. coast or the ocean, or that it is

opposed by First Nations and other affected communities and lacks social licence – although those are strong enough reasons to stop it. The main reasons it and other pipeline projects shouldn’t be built are the very same ones the government and joint review panel refused to consider. Rapid oil sands expansion, increasing reliance on dirty fossil fuels and more infrastructure that ties us to them for decades contravene the need to protect the environment, human health, global climate systems and even economic resilience. Our choice is between ignoring overwhelming scientific evidence about the human contribution to climate change and pollution or changing our ways and reducing carbon emissions and fossil fuel dependence. It’s about whether to join the green economy or pin our economic hopes on an increasingly risky industry. It’s about the kind of country – and planet – we want to leave to our children and grandchildren. The government has irresponsibly weakened democracy in its will-

ful blindness to the most pressing economic and environmental issue of our time. The spectre of climate change means all humanity has a stake in the future of coal and oil. To avoid the worst impacts, we must shift to a zerocarbon-emissions energy system within the next few decades. Yet Canada doesn’t even have a national energy strategy! As Canadians witness how vulnerable our communities are to climate change impacts like increased intense precipitation and flooding, sea-level rise and risks to food production, demand will grow for solutions such as clean energy. Northern Gateway has received qualified government approval. The decision will now face First Nations court challenges and backlash from the majority of British Columbians and Canadians whose voices have so far been ignored. For the sake of our communities and the future of our children, let’s hope democracy prevails. Dr. David Suzuki is a scientist, broadcaster, author, and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation.

ency goes a long way in the age of instant information, especially when the intent is to reduce concerns about the practices of an industry that is remotely located from 98 per cent of the population. With the price of animal protein currently reaching record levels in food stores, videos revealing irresponsible behaviour with livestock provide another reason for consumers to stop purchasing steak and chicken. Indeed, some consumers are opting to stop eating meat entirely in protest, resulting in the opening of Canada’s first meat-less butcher shop in Toronto. But make no mistake; farmers are true stewards of the land, and displays of such cruel behaviour towards any farm animal are rare. While the root causes of these incidences are far more complicated than what is being suggested in media analysis, they are clearly unacceptable, and the industry will need to get its act together, quickly. With trade deals looming between Korea and Europe, countries where the rights of farm animals are perceived differently, industry pundits need to demonstrate to the Canadian public that current farming practices are still worthy of their trust, and the trust of potential trading partners.

Ontario biggest loser in transfer payments: PBO THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Changes to the way federal transfers to provinces are calculated since the Harper government took power appears to have made Ontario a big loser under equalization programs and Alberta the big winner, says Canada’s budget watchdog. The parliamentary budget officer says total payments this year will see Ontario obtain $19.2 billion from Ottawa for everything from equalization to health and social transfers, but that is 3.2 per cent less than the $19.8 billion it received last year. While the province gains under some transfers, it will lose $1.2 billion under the equalization program designed to give so-called “have not” provinces the fiscal capacity to provide residents services roughly comparable to those in other provinces. Until this year, Ontario would have received about $640 million from Ottawa under a program that protected provinces from seeing transfers drop in any one year - but that option

was scrapped by then finance minister Jim Flaherty in December. Meanwhile, Alberta - Canada’s richest province - will see its total rise to $5.2 billion this year from $4.1 billion in 2013-14, a 26.8 per cent increase mostly due to Ottawa moving to a per-capita funding under the Canada Health Transfer program. The only other province that comes close to Alberta’s windfall is Quebec, which will see its total intake from Ottawa rise to $19.6 billion, or 9.9 per cent. But what will surprise many Canadians is how changes introduced by Ottawa has diminished the “progressivity” of the equalization system. For instance, the equalization program was intended to do just that: give have-not provinces the capacity to offer services more or less available to residents of richer provinces. But several changes, including putting a cap on growth of the transfers, has diminished the program’s capacity.

“There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point. As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new compact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada. The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6. Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight. “Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.

“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it. Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success. “That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreciation. The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes. Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix. You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge?

Question of the Week Four-time F1 champ Sebastian Vettel got behind the wheel of a kart when he was just three-and-a-half years old and was racing at age eight. Should we encourage teens to follow that example, as a way of learning about vehicle speed and control before getting their first license at 16? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer.

Raising cash for charity and turning heads along the way By Alexandra Straub

The Supercar: It’s something anyone of any age can appreciate. The design. The engineering. The way the engine and exhaust purrs – or roars – when you push on the throttle. They are the culmination of

the workmanship of talented individuals who dedicate their lives to crafting components that are then distributed globally. Now put more than 100 of these machines together (111 to be exact) and the appreciation factor goes up 110-fold. To some, Supercars are a gaudy form transportation. An arrogant

display of wealth. To others, works of art. But to the group who participated in the second annual Diamond Rally, it’s more than just a showcase of imported engineering or customization. It’s about a great cause. It’s for charity. I’m not going out on a limb when I say that car enthusiasts love to see

amazing cars, regardless of context. What’s more, it’s even cooler when a group of them travel together up one of the most incredible drives in the world: the Sea-to-Sky Highway. What started off last year with 42 cars quickly grew to three digits. Each entering car chose a charity to raise funds

for. As the day was ramping up, the Brian Jessel BMW dealership in Vancouver was overrun with vehicles ranging from a 1957 Ford Thunderbird (it was quite the car back in the day, and still is) to the Lamborghini Aventador. Along with Nissan GT-Rs, Maseratis, Porsches, Ferraris, and more.

Even the brand new BMW i8, which had yet to be driven on Canadian soil, broke ground and was the lead car in the day’s event. The route would take us along the spectacular Sea-to-Sky highway, with a stop in Squamish and then the continued on page 9

mit, along with Conneticut native Bryan Gerstenfeld, that the Smokies have signed this summer. “We expect them to play together and complement each other very well,” said Deschenes. He added that he was happy with the recruiting progress and optimistic for when the team finally hits the ice for its training camp

on Aug. 29. The Smokies coaching staff had ample time to scout Clark, 19, and Hubbard, 18, as the two Grand Prairie natives helped the Nitehawks to the Cyclone Taylor Cup in Nelson in April and their

first Keystone Cup Western Canadian championship a week later. Clark was named the Keystone tournament MVP stopping 102 of 106 shots with a goals against average of 1.00 over four games. He won the most games of any goalie in the KIJHL last season, 22, with a GAA of 2.73 and a save percentage of .916. The six-foot-one, 190 pound Hubbard meanwhile was a force on the blue line for the Hawks accumulating the second most points for defenceman with 12-1123 in 42 games while racking up 103 penalty minutes. Hubbard also played in five games as an AP for the Smoke Eaters last season netting two assists and six penalty minutes. The pair will join former Hawk teammate Dallas Calvin in the Smokies lineup.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RECIFE, Brazil Mario Balotelli couldn’t care less if he’s mentioned in the same breath as Neymar or Messi at this World Cup - as long as he comes away with the trophy. Having scored the winning goal in Italy’s 2-1 victory over England and now getting ready for Friday’s match against Costa Rica, the temperamental forward has gained more attention than any other Azzurri player in Brazil. “I hope this is Italy’s World Cup, not Mario’s. I’m not really interested in being compared with the big stars,” Balotelli said Thursday. “In the end it’s the squad that wins. I don’t want to be a big star. I want to win the World Cup.” Wearing a black cap turned backward and diamond earrings, Balotelli was his usual candid self. This is a first World Cup for Balotelli, who helped lead Italy to the 2012 European Championship final. “This is the biggest event of my career and I want to give my all,” he said. Balotelli has made headlines almost from the moment he landed in Brazil, first by proposing to his Belgian girlfriend on a moon-lit beach in the week leading up to the England match. “The proposal had nothing to do with the World Cup,” he said. “The proposal would have occurred without the World Cup.”

Law societies regulate conduct, not belief

Trail & District Churches

A Vision of the World United

t a special meeting of the members of the Law Society of British Columbia, 3,210 lawyers voted against approval for a Faculty of Law at Trinity Western University, while 968 lawyers voted for its approval. While the vote seems to indicate overwhelming opposition, the majority of the 13,114 members of the Law Society did not cast a ballot. The special meeting was called because a requisite number of lawyers were dissatisfied with the April 11, 2014 decision of the Benchers to approve the faculty of law at TWU for louise the purposes of the Law Society’s admissions program. I watched the Everyday Theology Benchers’ debate live, and in my view, the Benchers arrived at a principled decision regarding a contentious issue involving the conflicting Charter rights of two groups. The opposition to TWU arises from a clause in the university’s “Community Covenant” which upholds a traditional view of marriage as between one man and one woman. Many people object to this clause as discriminatory against LGBTQ persons. While I dislike the idea of a university requiring its members to sign a covenant that governs the most intimate aspects of their lives, TWU has the right to uphold a particular view of marriage, and those who share the institution’s beliefs have the right to congregate and associate with others of like mind. I share the opinion of the BC Civil Liberties Association, an organization that supports the rights of LGBTQ persons but who took the position, “to deny (TWU’s) application based on the university’s Community Covenant would infringe the Charter-protected freedom of association and religion of members of the faith-based private university”. These are fundamental freedoms and “that’s what s. 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is all about, protecting our freedoms of association, of assembly, of belief and of expression.” In 2001, in Trinity Western University, the Supreme Court of Canada determined that the BC College of Teachers could not deny TWU education graduates admittance to the teaching profession based on religious beliefs about homosexuality that were unacceptable to the College. There is no evidence that teachers trained at TWU fail to professionally exercise their teaching responsibilities in BC’s public schools. Similarly, there is no reason to assume that future graduates of a law school at TWU will be incapable of upholding the laws of the land and representing the rights of clients of all persuasions. If an individual lawyer should prove incapable of doing so, the public can reasonably expect that the Law Society will deal with that person according to its remedial and disciplinary procedures already in place. In my opinion, for a law society to deny candidates admission to the legal profession because of a religious belief that is socially anathema to a percentage of its existing membership is unjustified, and is discriminatory in its own way. In the absence of evidentiary proof that TWU’s traditional view of marriage and its code of sexual conduct does harm to others, graduates of its law school should be eligible for admission to the BC bar. The Law Society of BC is properly concerned with the training, qualification, ethics, competency and conduct of its members. It is not its task, however, to attempt to regulate belief by excluding those with whom it disagrees.

In these days where it seems we can hardly turn on the TV without being reminded of our divisions it is a delight to see a picture of a world united in celebration. That celebration is the World Cup of Soccer in Brazil. Of course as a Brit, I have been following the world cup for as long as I can remember. I’m sure that somewhere I still have a world cup coin collection from Esso – circa 1974! But what has astounded me this year is to see countries which are at odds with each other, playing soccer in the same tournament. Consider this partial list: Algeria, Cameroon, Columbia, Croatia, Honduras, Iran, and Japan. Countries from around the globe, small countries as well as the usual suspects. Even the USA is a serious competitor now. Soccer really is the world’s sport.

A simple game played in the poorest villages in Africa as well as in sports stadiums in North America. Talented players from poorer countries can end up playing for the likes of Manchester United and Juventus. And over the month of the world cup, the eyes of the world will be glued to the screen and the conversations of the world will turn from our troubles to discussing the merits of players and plays. Isn’t that a vision of a world united, a vision of heaven? It is not a vision of conformity, we are not all cheering for the same team, but we are all cheering the same sport. And when we see talent expressed then we appreciate it, even if it is on the opposing team. This is, after all, “The beautiful game”. I am delighted to see soccer fans from opposing teams sitting next to each other,

This vision of unity is a celebration of diversity, Europeans, Africans, Asians, South Americans all demonstrating their virtuosity and teamwork. Every nation has a different style of play, and part of the joy of the World Cup is seeing both the individual skills and the way the team plays. There is no single ‘best’ way to play. There are many winning styles, each with plusses and minuses. The Irish band U2 wrote a song with these words “We’re one, but we’re not the same, we get to carry each other, carry each other” Amen.

Husband’s bias of cat over wife unlikely to change Mailbox

bathroom to get ready for work, because my husband and Fluffy are having “bonding time.” I do not feel this is normal behavior. I think it’s an unhealthy relationship with a pet. I have attempted to discuss this with my husband several times without success. He has had Fluffy for six years and obviously prefers interacting with her to spending time with me. Why he needs a wife, I haven’t a clue. Any suggestions? -- Fluffy’s Competition Dear Competition: We agree that this seems to be an unusually close attachment. The screensaver is the least of your problems.

state and hadn’t seen these people in more than 20 years. When I couldn’t recall their names, they acted hurt. Please, folks, at a memorial service, just put out your hand, introduce yourself and say how you knew the deceased. You are precious to come and pay tribute to anyone who has passed away, but do make it easy on a family that is grieving. This is a stressful time, and those who tried to make us play guessing games only made it harder. Also, if you have a story you want to share, please remember that the time for the visitation is limited. Instead, consider calling a week or so after the service. I’m lonely now and would love to hear your remembrance. -- R. Dear R.: Thank you for reminding people that a forthright and simple approach is best. People often become awkward and uncomfortable when

confronted with those in mourning and sometimes blurt out insensitive things. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Feeling Helpless,” whose friend screams at her husband nonstop. That could have been me. I yelled at my husband

at the top of my lungs because he made me so angry and frustrated. The reason was that he would check out every woman he saw. It didn’t matter that his teenage children were with him. I finally survived by ignoring his behavior. I just considered

that he was a jerk (and still is). -- Hope for the Helpless Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net

The fact that your husband would rather console his cat while you are undergoing a seven-hour surgery indicates skewed priorities. And the “bonding time” in the bathroom is raising all kinds of questions. What, exactly, are they doing in there that you cannot use the room? In any event, your husband is more attached to Fluffy than he is to you and values her companionship more. This is unlikely to change. Dear Annie: We recently buried my mother and held a service in celebration of her life. There was a visitation one hour prior to the service. I cannot count the number of people who came through the line and said, “I bet you don’t know who I am” or “I know you remember me” and then stood there grinning while they waited to see whether I could guess their name.

2014 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Dear Annie: My husband of four years insists on keeping a picture of his cat as the screensaver on his cellphone. Occasionally, he’ll switch it out for a photo of one of his kids, but the cat always comes back as the “top dog.” It’s never a picture of me. “Fluffy” also enjoys the top priority in other areas of our life. For instance, the day I had major surgery, my husband dropped me off at the front door of the hospital and then took Fluffy to the vet and spent the day with her. I am not ranting about some minor grievance. I was in surgery for seven hours, so this was serious. The cat gets better treatment than I do and a lot more affection. If it weren’t for my allergies, Fluffy would be sleeping with us. Even so, I’ve awakened to find the cat’s rear end next to my face. I find this disgusting. I even have to wait to use the
