Back-to-school plans continue despite dispute BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Back-to-school shopping is underway in Greater Trail, even if the first day back remains an unknown. While local stores are pitching the latest items in storefront signs, the government is pitching the latest bargaining news online. At Halls Basics in downtown Trail, it’s

been business as usual as staff organize a large number of school supply orders in addition to 159 packages for the nonprofit Skool Aid program. This year is no exception - the Trail business has kicked into high gear to finish processing back-to-school orders. What is different, is where the pencils, pens, and notebooks will be delivered because dropping such essentials

off on school grounds is out of the question at this point. “Things seem to change daily so at this point, we really don’t know where the orders will be delivered,”said Tara DeJong, Halls Basics manager. “We usually deliver our PAC orders to the school and would have done so Monday (Aug. 25). But now we’ll have to wait and see.” See WEBSITE Page 3

Montrose residents now have the chance to tell the village what they think about the future of the Imagine Montrose Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP) through an online survey. Mayor Joe Danchuk says community input is invaluable to the council and will help keep residents involved in future decision-making. “I think (community input) is huge,” he said. “We want to make sure that the community is involved in the direction that we go, down the road.” In partnership with the Whistler Centre for Sustainability, the village council has put together a survey asking residents what they love, what they would change, what challenges exist and what their hopes and dreams for Montrose are. Answers are going to be compiled, analyzed and presented at a public meeting on the evening of Sept. 11. Danchuk says a public meeting after the survey closes is important because it will let residents know where Montrose is heading. “We want to make sure that people are aware of the direction we are going and how to keep our community the way it is and keep pushing ahead,” he said. “Regardless if it is parks, infrastructure or whatever, it is important for the community to be on board and have as much information as possible.” The plan is to create long-term goals that look towards the next generation of Montrose residents. The survey can be accessed online at www. surveymonkey.com/imaginemontrose or a paper copy can be picked up at the village office. Residents can share their thoughts and ideas about Montrose's future until Sept. 1.

Cheesy Canadian title for Trail resident BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

Chasing a wheel of cheese down a hill won't replace hockey as Canada's national sport, but that didn't stop Ximena Abresch from going home with an 11-pound wheel of cheddar. The 20-year-old placed first in the women's category with a time of 12.4 seconds at the Canadian Cheese Rolling Festival in Whistler

last weekend. First prize was a huge wheel of Courtenay Cheddar – her motivation for entering the race. “Eleven pounds of cheese is a lot of cheese and it is good cheese,” she said, adding that while she was on her way to the race, she didn't think she was even going to make it. “I just kind of showed up. I was actually late. We got distracted and I didn't think I was going to get there on time.”

While running down a hill after a wheel of cheese may not seem like a sport that would leave casualties, Abresch says the race wasn't without its hazards. “One of the other competitors in the first round actually broke her arm,” she said. “It is actually kind of dangerous.” To avoid injuries, organizers provided helmets, shin pads, knee See CHEESE, Page 3

Rossland News

Rossland City Council, at its regular meeting last week, voted in favour of amending the city’s Official Community Plan (OCP) to reflect a greater level of cooperation with the area’s prime tourist draw. First and second readings had been given on July 14 to create an amendment bylaw deleting a policy that, “The City will not supply water for snowmaking” from the OCP. During discussion the clear consensus was that the City should be as accommodating as is reasonably possible with the Red Mountain Resort given the resort’s massive impact on the local economy and culture. Striking such a policy from the OCP gives a fresh environment to a process that is new to the mountain operation. “The snowmaking is a brand new initiative,” said Mayor Greg Granstrom following the council meeting. “In order to make it work we needed to remove that bit of language from the OCP.” The value of the snowmaking capability to a ski resort is, understandably, large, and is likely to increase visits to the area in a big way. “This (snowmaking) is a whole new addition to the mountain,” said the mayor. “It was initially designed for a training facility. So they’ll be able to make snow in November.” The volume of water required is not huge according to Granstrom, who said that the city will be in control of it. “If we do get low we’ll just say ‘no more,’ but as far as what it means to Rossland, it’s a very significant economic initiative. It’ll bring people from all over the world.”

Reverse Bergen Raise

In a column in June past, Bergen Raises were introduced. Reverse Bergen Raises also show four-card support for partner’s major and consist of three diamonds being the constructive raise (8 to 9), three clubs being the limit raise (1012) and three of the major being weak (7 or less). The three club and three diamond responses are reversed to give more room for help suit game try over a limit raise. Bergen raises are on in competi-

tion and even when partner is an overcall. One would hardly ever want to play in a minor at the threewarren level when one already knows one Play Bridge has a misfit with partner’s original suit so three of a minor is free to be used for Bergen raises. The bidding: South opens one spade and West makes a direct cuebid showing five-five in hearts and in another suit (top and other). North bids three clubs showing four-card support and a limit raise in spades. South bids three diamonds asking partner if he has help in diamonds and if he is at the upper end of a limit raise. North accepts, and they play in game. The Lead: The Queen of clubs is a natural lead as it is top of a touching honour sequence. The play: Declarer wins the Ace of clubs and plays a small heart to the King. West ducks, hoping the declarer

will play to the Jack, and the King wins. The remaining heart is discarded on the King of clubs. Declarer runs the Eight of spades and West shows out. The Ten of spades is then run through next. The Three of spades is played to the Jack and the entire spade suit is picked up. Declarer runs the Jack of diamonds through to the Ace. Result: Declarer loses one diamond and makes four spades plus two for +480.

Advance voting today

Trail Times file photo

The second round of advance voting on the pedestrian bridge referendum takes place today from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Trail Memorial Centre in the McIntyre Room. Almost 500 people turned out to vote in the first day of advance voting on Aug. 13. General voting day will be this Saturday at the same time and location.

Website allows parents to track talks FROM PAGE 1 If strike issues aren’t resolved by the first day of school, Sept. 2, the B.C. government has launched a website to keep parents up-to-date on the latest talks in the province’s ongoing teachers’ dispute. The website, bcparentinfo. ca also provides a link for parents with children under 13 attending B.C. public schools, to register for a $40 per day per child subsidy should the strike drag on. The site also provides online resources, such as links to free courses including First Aid certification and Foodsafe Level 1 through Open School BC and LearnNowBC. Locally, the lack of a teachers’ picket line could mean there’s been progress at the bargaining table now that mediator Vince Ready is involved. “We decided that if there was no progress made at all then we would start picketing today (Aug. 18),” said the Kootenay-

Columbia Teachers’ Union President, Andy Davidoff. “I would say that by not seeing us on the picket line, there’s hope for a settlement.” Talks have continued under a media blackout since Ready met the two sides last week. “With Vince Ready now in the mix, let’s just say that’s a good thing,” said Davidoff. “He knows the issues in education and has worked on settling disputes in the past. Let’s just say we have some hope this has the possibility of being resolved before school starts.” Davidoff couldn’t offer further details due to the communications blackout, but added, “We want a deal before school starts because that’s in everyone’s interest.” The province’s 40,000 teachers launched a full-scale strike about two weeks before the end of the school year, calling for wage hikes and for the Ministry of Education to address issues such as class size and composition.

Stephen Kelleher, a B.C. Supreme Court Justice, declined to attempt mediation earlier in the summer after finding too large a gap between both sides. The Minister of Education, Peter Fassbender, and the boards’ of education chief negotiator Peter Cameron maintain that the BCTF’s benefit demands remain far beyond those of other public sector union that have settled contracts. The union’s most recent proposal sought a salary hike and two multimillion-dollar funds to hire more teachers and resolve grievances, but provincial government officials said the proposals are not affordable when compared with other public sector workers. “We repeat words Christy Clark used in the Vancouver truckers’ dispute,” said Davidoff. “We’d rather have a deal than a fight. So if she really believes that, then let’s cut a deal and not a fight.”

FROM PAGE 1 pads and other protective gear for racers. “I think the shin pads and knee pads were optional, but I didn’t see anyone who didn’t take them except the person dressed as a giant wheel of cheese,” she said. When Abresch found out she had won the women’s category, she says she wasn’t expecting it at all. “At that point, I was a little bit too shocked to comprehend that I had won,” she said. “It took a few minutes and I think I was just mostly confused.” While surveying the course on Blackcomb Mountain, Abresch says it didn’t look that hard – until she got to the top. “I had some second thoughts when I got to the top of the hill,” she said. “It didn’t look as bad from the bottom.” The seventh annual cheese rolling festival isn’t the only place you can find groups of people chasing cheese. In the U.K., groups of cheesechasers gather in Gloucester every year in a tradition dating back to the mid-1800s. Abresch says she didn’t think the Whistler race was anything like the original one in England. “The one in England is worse,” she said. “It is a steeper hill and it has potholes. They also don’t give you helmets or anything like that.” After her win, Abresch hosted a party, where the cheese took centre stage and already, a big chunk of the wheel has been eaten. “(The party) was pretty awe-

some - you can never go wrong with a big wheel of cheese,” she said “There is about a third of it gone and it is pretty good. It’s a nice mild cheddar and I don’t know what to do with all of it. That much cheese could easily last me half a year.” Abresch says she would recommend the race to anyone who wouldn’t mind taking home an 11-pound wheel of B.C. cheddar. Even she thinks she should be there next year to defend her title. Along with the wheel of cheddar, Abresch won two season passes to ski in Whistler for placing first. She doesn’t ski or snowboard, but doesn’t want the passes to go to waste. “I don’t know if I am going to give them away, or try and sell them,” she said. “I don’t know what the policy for that is, but they are worth $2,000 each.” The winner of the men’s category, Jordan Lenham, hails from Cambrigde, England and also won two season passes to Whistler and an 11-pound wheel of cheddar. The prize wheels of cheese were made by local cheese maker, Natural Pastures. The event was hosted by the Dairy Farmers of Canada and is in its seventh year. The festival featured free cheese seminars, cheesy bowling, cheesy twister, face-painting, a Canadian cheese market and a costume contest with a prize of $500 in IGA gift cards.

Castlegar

City workers say ‘No’ to OT The Castlegar News The wheels appear to be turning in the showdown between CUPE Local 2262 members and their employer, the City of Castlegar. Having served 72-hour strike notice with the BC Labour Board on Friday, the Local has instigated a ban on overtime intended to motivate a resumption of bargaining. National CUPE spokesperson Murray Bush, in a Tuesday press release says the outstanding issues in the impasse are: “…a modest wage increase in line with other settlements in the Kootenays and standard job security language.” The move did not immediately inspire a response from the City of Castlegar, by way of its own press release. When contacted on Tuesday, however, Director of Transportation and Civic Works Chris Barlow did say the Local’s move was expected. Barlow also indicated that the number of overtime hours worked at this time of year is typically on the lower side. “It’s an option available to the union,” he said of the overtime ban. “They’ve chosen to do that and we’ll monitor it as the situation goes. I think the city has put together a fair, reasonable package and we’re happy with what we’ve offered at this point.”

Burnaby NewsLeader

Hell hasn’t frozen over and there haven’t been any reports of flying pigs, but the seemingly improbable has happened—the City of Burnaby and provincial government agree on something. The NDP-affiliated Burnaby council and BC Liberal government have both written to the National Energy Board (NEB) stating the same position. Both oppose Kinder Morgan’s request to file in secret its emer-

gency plan for its proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. The company filed a notice of motion earlier this month seeking NEB permission to file its emergency management program (EMP) confidentially. In it, the company claims the documents “contain proprietary technical information” about its emergency procedures. They also include names and contact information for company and industry employees who could be affected

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - Touring the Douglas Channel on British Columbia’s North Coast has convinced federal Opposition Leader Thomas Mulcair it would be “pure madness” to allow supertankers carrying raw bitumen to ply the narrow passage. The New Democratic Party leader said Tuesday the planned route for exporting oil to Asia “makes no sense,” and that’s why his party would introduce legislation barring the transport option if it was in power. “It’s not just a question of personal opinion,” Mulcair told reporters in Vancouver after spending the previous day in the region to the north. “We’d set out clear criteria that would make sure a supertanker would no longer be allowed along that pristine coast.” The 90-kilometre-long Douglas Channel links the Pacific Ocean to the District of Kitimat, the would-be terminus of the controversial Northern Gateway oil pipeline. The project would see hundreds of tankers a year ply the channel carrying bitumen from the Alberta oilsands.

Swan said an unfinished space has been left “in the hopes that in the not-toodistant future we can entice BC Ambulance to move in with us as well.” For the moment, paramedics continue to operate out of a station next to the hospital. Swan said he hoped to enter into more formal discussions at the end of the year or early next. While there was some suggestion volunteer labour might help reduce the overall cost of the project, Swan said that hasn’t yet materialized. “Pretty much everything to date has been paid for,” he said.

by resulting privacy and security issues. There is a “real and substantial risk” that if the information in the plan is made public it will compromise security of the pipeline, its facilities and systems, or those methods used to protect them, Kinder Morgan said. It is, however, willing to provide the information to local, provincial or federal authorities. But first they must meet a set of conditions, including that they sign a confidentiality agreement. In its response, the provincial government said the company has not shown that it holds any such proprietary information and if it did, it would be “quite unusual.” It noted that concerns about personal information could be solved by redacting it from the documents. As for any risks, the province said it’s unclear what they could be since the right-of-way is marked with signs and all related facilities are above ground and clearly identified. Detailed information of the expansion

project has already been made public so the company’s claim it would lead to an increased security risk “seems implausible.” Public interest in the information is “high and undeniable,” the province said. Throughout the company’s application for the project it touts the merits of its emergency management program, it noted. “The Province takes the position that Trans Mountain cannot have it both ways—It cannot rely on the EMP to assuage the concerns of the Board, Intervenors and the public with respect to the effects of a spill, all the while avoiding public scrutiny by refusing to disclose the EMP documents on the public record.” The City of Burnaby agrees. In its own response it added that, “In effect, Trans Mountain is asking first responders to go blindly into emergency situations without the benefit of a prior knowledge. “In short, Trans Mountain is requesting to keep confidential the very information necessary to save lives, protect property, and

National Nearly half of severely disabled veterans receiving no government allowance: watchdog

Canadian cities ranked among best places to live

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - A new report by Canada’s veterans watchdog says nearly half of the country’s most severely disabled ex-soldiers are not receiving a government allowance intended to compensate them for their physical and mental wounds. Veterans ombudsman Guy Parent also concluded that those who are receiving the permanent impairment allowance, along with a recently introduced supplement, are only awarded the lowest grade of the benefit. The criteria used by federal bureaucrats to evaluate disability do not match the intent of the allowance, and that the guidelines are too restrictive, the report said. “The evidence presented in the report clearly demonstrates

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Three Canadian cities Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary - have been named as some of the best places to live in the world, according to a report by The Economist.

Adelaide, Australia as the third most 5. Calgary, Canada livable city in the 7. Sydney, Australia 8. Helsinki, Finland world; followed by 9. Perth, Australia Toronto at number 10.

Dhaka, Bangladesh Vienna, Austria 140. Damascus, Syria coming in second overall. The Economist ranks the cities on 30 factors across various categories, including stability, health care, culture, environment, education and infrastructure. Rounding out the top 10 were Sydney, Australia, Helsinki, Finland, Perth, Australia, and Auckland, New Zealand. The report noted the world’s most livable cities were often mid-sized cities in wealthier countries with low population density. “This can foster a range of recreational activities without leading to high crime levels or overburdened infrastructure,” said the report. “Eight of the top 10 scoring cities are in Australia and Canada, with population densities of 2.88 and 3.40 people per square kilometres respectively.” It also pointed out that although crime rates may be on the rise in some of the toptier cities, it wasn’t in the case in all the top 10 cities. On the opposite end of the spectrum, human rights violations and conflict were responsible for many of the reasons for the bottom 10 cities on the list. “Conflict is responsible for many of the lowest scores. This is not only because stability indicators have the highest single scores, but also because factors defining stability spread to have an adverse effect on other categories,” said the report.

Top cop to probe city hall invasion THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - Montreal’s police chief is vowing there will be a full investigation into a rowdy pension plan protest that saw some municipal employees storm city hall. Several hundred workers demonstrated outside the building before about 250 entered as a council meeting was set to resume on Monday evening. Papers were strewn about the building and council chamber and a sign calling the mayor a thief was

Police chief Marc Parent told a news conference Tuesday he was disappointed by the turn of events, which has raised questions about the force’s ability to do its job. Municipal employees have been protesting throughout the summer over a provincial government plan to overhaul municipal pensions.

abled soldiers receive more than $10,000 per month, but figures from his own department show that only four individuals in the entire country receive that much. The report also noted that when a veteran dies, the spouse automatically loses the allowance, creating financial hardship for the family. Under the old Pension Act system, the widow or widower continued to receive support. The permanent impairment allowance is a taxable benefit awarded to disabled soldiers in three grade levels as compensation for lost future earnings. The Harper government introduced a supplement to the allowance in 2011. In some respects, that supplement contributed to a dramatic increase in the number of applications.

that many severely impaired veterans are either not receiving these benefits or may be receiving them at a grade level that is too low,” Parent said in a statement. “This is unfair and needs to be corrected.” Investigators could find no evidence that Veterans Affairs adjudicators consider the effect of an enduring injury on an individual’s longterm employment and career prospects, he added. In defending itself against criticism that veterans are being short-changed, the Harper government has been quick to point to the allowance and the supplement as a sign of its generosity. Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino told a House of Commons committee last spring that some permanently dis-

According to figures released by Veterans Affairs in June, there are 521 ex-soldiers who are deemed to be the most critically injured, but the vast majority of them - 92 per cent - receive the

lowest grade of allowance support. The ombudsman’s report estimates Canada has a total of 1,911 severely wounded soldiers, 924 of whom receive no allowance at all.

Crony capitalism alive and well at Mount Polley

ecently, the Vancouver Sun reported that Alberta billionaire Murray Edwards helped organize a $1 million fundraiser for the B.C. Liberal party at the Calgary Petroleum Club last year. Rapidly becoming a household name in B.C., Edwards of course is the controlling shareholder of Imperial Metals, which operates the Mount Polley Mine. Putting aside that the cash was raised in another province and likely from folk who can’t vote in B.C., Edwards’ political generosity didn’t stop at selecting canapes for his oil and gas pals. Since 2005, Imperial Metals has donated at least $149,890 to the B.C. Liberals. With a win, place and show wager, that total includes $2,500 to each of the leadership campaigns of Christy Clark, Kevin Falcon and George Abbott. It also tossed $3,000 into the kitty for Bill Bennett’s 2009 re-election campaign. Mount Polley got in on the action as well, with the mine topping up

donations to the Liberals by $46,720. Now every single cent of those donations could simply be because Edwards is a swell guy and Imperial a swell company. But that won’t wash away what some call the sewer scents of B.C. politics from Edwards’ largesse. Particularly, since it’s not just the totals that stand out, it’s the timing of the gifts too. Nearly half of Imperial Metal’s donations were made after Christy Clark was sworn in as premier, while $45,720 of Mount Polley’s donations came via six separate cheques issued in one week alone in March 2013. Guess bank charges weren’t an issue for the company. All of which is why the October 2012 presentation of Byng Giraud before B.C.’s Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services is so fascinating Giraud – then vicepresident, corporate affairs at Imperial Metals –. called on the B.C. government to retain the flow-through tax credits for the exploration indus-

try, to keep the PST off capital investments for mining companies and, most importantly, to reduce the approval process for a new mine from upwards of ten years to as little as three. As he noted to the committee: “I think if we’re really looking for some flexibility on budget in terms of the mining sector, there is perhaps some wiggle room, but it needs to be in the context of I’m going to build a mine in three years, so maybe I’ll tolerate those additional tax rates. People are willing to pay for certainty and for time.” Lo and behold, six months later, the B.C. Liberal party was promis-

ing voters that it would streamline the mining application processes, work with the federal government to ensure mining projects undergo only one environmental review process, and that it would extend the new mine allowance and other credits allowing new mines and mine expansions to receive depreciation credits of up to 133 per cent to 2020. This past January – in a speech to the B.C. Association for Mineral Exploration – Premier Clark took it further promising a review of B.C.’s environmental assessment office to make it “more effective and efficient,” claiming that “over the years, the environmental assessment process has gotten so long, so difficult and so complex that communities, proponents, can’t get a yes, can’t get a no.” Flashback to 2012 and consider what Giraud said then: “I know that if we could get these down to three to five years — for yes, no or whatever, instead of the long maybe — then there would be

incentive for people to throw more money at these things.” This past June, Clark issued new mandate letters to each cabinet minister. In Bill Bennett’s letter she congratulated him for extending the flow-through tax credit program through 2014 and for reducing red tape for the mining industry. His mandate now includes working with the Finance ministry to extend the new mine allowance and other industry credits to 2020. Oh, the PST still doesn’t apply to capital investments for mining companies either. There was one last thing about Giraud’s presentation that jumped out. Arguing his case for a shorter approval process, he claimed: “Nobody trusts experts anymore from an NGO or from a third party, saying: “You know what? We don’t trust what you’ve done.” After Mount Polley that can be marked down as famous last words. Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC.

Numbers for proposed bridge questioned Our city leaders have adeptly led us to believe that a pedestrian bridge which would hide a sewer line is the best and only solution. So, a few friends and I chose not to take this at face value and investigated. After reading through a ton of meeting minutes and agendas this is what we discovered. As one friend said; who knew that poop could be so interesting! The costs below are from the sewer committee documents. We have been led to believe that the only option the Regional District and partners are considering is the stand alone sewer pipe bridge? Well, not so. According to sewer committee documents three options are being reviewed: Victoria Street Bridge Crossing; Trench and Backfill Crossing that will go under the river, and, what we have been told that they are going to build regardless of how we vote in the referendum, the Stand Alone Sewer Pipe Bridge. We have been told and it is written in many places and extolled over and over again that the sewer pipe bridge is the most cost effective? Well, not according to the sewer committee documents. The most recent cost estimates (as of July 2014) are as follows: Victoria Street Bridge Crossing is $2,706,480; Trench & Backfill (Crossing under the river) is

$3,437,000, and; Pipe Bridge estimated at $7,428,808. Let see, the Pipe Bridge is estimated to cost $4,722,328 higher than the Victoria Street Bridge Crossing. So, we have partners in the sewer pipe bridge who are responsible for a portion of the costs. The partners are Trail, Rossland and Warfield. Trail at 62.56 per cent, Rossland at 24.9 per cent and Warfield at 12.54 per cent. I will let you figure out the costs for each option; or if you would like to contact me I do have the documents and the figures broken down. But, as an example, the Pipe Bridge would cost Trail $4,647,462 vs Victoria Street Bridge $1,693,174. The Pipe Bridge would cost Rossland $1,849,773 vs $673,914 for the Victoria Street Bridge. The Pipe Bridge would cost Warfield $931,573, vs $339,393 for the Victoria Street Bridge Crossing. Please note that this does not include the $5,816,000 for the estimated cost of the walkway/ additional utility line that only Trail would be responsible for. So, Trail’s cost for the pipe/ pedestrian bridge would be $4,647,462 plus $5,816,000 equals $10,463,462 vs $2,706,480 for the Victoria Street Crossing. I’m pretty sure that this does not include the nearly $500,000 already spent on engineering fees and

we should also add in the advertising campaign. Do you know that the options and costs were to be discussed by the Sewerage Committee on Aug. 5? This was prior to the first day of advance voting of Aug. 13. This meeting was cancelled. Who cancelled the meeting? Well, it was Trail councillor and Acting Mayor Robert Cacchioni. While absolutely no decision has been made Trail council has continued to bulldoze ahead while misleading citizens, proceeding with a referendum, advertising campaign, etc. I believe our participating neighbours to be intelligent and they must also answer to their electorate as they, as Trail does, have a vote in the options and must decide what is best for their electorate. I must say that with the Victoria Street Crossing it would be an excellent opportunity to look at heating the arena or downtown. A sewage heat recovery would save a ton of money on heating while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. No poop – check it out – Okanagan College, or False Creek Energy Center. An environmental movement in the right direction that we may be able to get grants on. Gina Ironmonger Trail property and business owner

It’s down to the crunch. Only a couple of days left for people to make up their minds on this pedestrian bridge thing. It’s sad to see so much negative feedback. I, for one, am sick and tired of living in 1959. Correct me if I am wrong, but the last new addition to the City of Trail since the “new” bridge in 1961 was the Aquatic Centre in the 90s. And didn’t we have to fight to get that?! For those who think it’s a better idea to have a plan for the old bridge, I’m wondering how many people/businesses build new houses or new offices before they tear down the old one? Yes, council should make

a plan to tear down the old bridge, but the plan would take another decade to fabricate, at least – studies, more engineering reports, environmental assessments . . . In the meantime, we’d be stuck with just the one bridge and no hope of another in most of our lifetimes. As for coming out of taxes, as mentioned by one letter to the editor last week – to not build the bridge will not reduce any of the taxes we’re already paying. Trail used to be a city of nearly 14,000 people. We are now half that. If we are to commit to doing something good and right for our town, we’d better do it now before our tax

base drops even lower. People are constantly complaining about how desolate downtown Trail is. This is our only chance to improve on those conditions. We cannot hold a gun to someone’s head and insist they open a business up here. Nor do I believe said bridge is going to be a tourist attraction. Well, it might. But that’s not the point. The pedestrian bridge is for us – the people of Trail – to walk, enjoy, have access to the river. We need this to bring some life back into our town. Please vote “yes.” Lana Rodlie Trail

DON PARDO

Announcer was voice of Saturday Night Live

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Few would recognize his face, but most would know his voice: that booming baritone that for nearly four decades would introduce the lineups on “Saturday Night Live.” Don Pardo, the durable television and radio announcer whose resonant voice-over style was widely imitated and became the standard in the field, died Monday in Arizona at the age of 96. Pardo - a handsome man with a strong chin and confident smile that were overshadowed by his majestic delivery - graced newscasts, game shows and TV programs for more than 60 years. During the original version of “Jeopardy!,” his answers to the question, “Tell ‘em what they’ve won, Don Pardo,” became a memorable part of the program. And he was an integral part of “Saturday Night Live” for heralding the cast’s names to kick off each show, which led former cast member Jimmy Fallon to comment later, “Nothing is like the moment when Don Pardo says your name.” Pardo continued at “SNL” through the end of last season, when he performed the introductions on the finale in May. His was no ordinary voice and he guarded it closely, with cough drops

always at the ready. “My voice is my Achilles’ heel,” Pardo said in a 1985 interview with The Associated Press. “When I get sick, it’s always my voice.” Dominick George Pardo was born in Westfield, Massachusetts, on Feb. 22, 1918, and grew up in Norwich, Connecticut. One of his first jobs was that of ticket-taker at a local movie theatre; even then, his voice was commanding. “I’d go out there with a cape and say: ‘Standing room only in the mezzanine. Immediate seating in the balcony.”’ Two years later, he met a supervisor at NBC who hired the young Pardo immediately upon hearing his voice. He moved to NBC’s New York affiliate, and never left the network. Pardo made his mark right away, reading news dispatches on the radio filed from the front lines during World War II. After the war, he became an announcer for such shows as the “Arthur Murray Party,” ”Colgate Comedy Hour“ and ”Your Show of Shows.“ In 1954, he was brought in to announce “Winner Takes All,” beginning a long run in game shows. His voice was heard on the “The Price is Right” in its early years, and he was the announcer on the original “Jeopardy!”

Inglehart

(1964-75), hosted by Art Fleming. Then in 1975, NBC launched “Saturday Night Live” with Pardo as its announcer, introducing him to a new generation of viewers with a voice as magnificent as ever - although, on opening night, he botched one of the credits. Instead of saying “The Not Ready for Prime Time Players,” Pardo introduced the show’s new comedy troupe as “The Not for Ready Prime Time Players.” But with a voice like his, any name sounded impressive. Aside from Season 7, when he was displaced, Pardo remained the “SNL” announcer for decades. He also introduced sportscaster Len Berman’s “Spanning the World” compilations of funny sports moments, a regular feature on the “Today” show. (“Tune in next time ... if there IS a next time.”) During his career, Don Pardo appeared in several movies, mostly as himself or an announcer like himself, including “Radio Days,” Woody Allen’s celebration of the Golden Age of broadcasting, in which Pardo played a game show host. He also made a guest appearance on Frank Zappa’s 1978 album, “Zappa in New York,” and “Weird Al” Yankovic’s 1984 album, “In 3-D.”

Baseball duo medal at nationals Schroder, Matteucci claim silver and bronze at Canadians BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

While female baseball players have basked in the spotlight at the Little League World Series, a couple of local Fruitvale girls quietly brought home medals from their respective national baseball championships this past weekend. Allison Schroder, 12, and Ella Matteucci, 21, brought home silver and bronze on Sunday, Schroder from the Baseball Canada Pee Wee Girls U13 championship in Spruce Grove, and Matteucci from the Women’s National Baseball Championship in Whalley. Both players were All Stars for their respective teams with Schroder picking up the MVP award in her first game and Matteucci taking home the Top Batter award for the tournament. The women’s team won bronze thanks

to Matteucci’s bat, as she drove in the only run of the game in a tight 1-0 match versus Quebec on Sunday, after losing an extrainning heartbreaker in the semifinal to eventual champion Alberta 4-3 earlier that day. Matteucci’s grounder in the first inning scored what proved to be the winning run, as both pitchers shut down opposition batters the rest of the way. But it was the loss to Alberta that was most disheartening for the B.C. crew. Matteucci got the start on the mound and ended up pitching the whole match and then some, as the game was tied 2-2 in regulation and would go two extra innings before Alberta won it in the bottom of the ninth. Team BC had its chances to win, leading 2-1 heading into the bottom of the seventh and 3-2 in the ninth when Matteucci, after getting her second hit of the night, scored what looked to be the potential winning run. However, Alberta would rally with two out, scoring a run on a double from Bradi

Wall that plated Megan Cornelssen to tie it, and a walk-off single from Carrie Jesperson that scored Wall from second for the victory. Matteucci could hardly be faulted, the right-hand pitcher threw 124 pitches, giving up just two earned runs on eight hits, while striking out eight and walking four. She led Team BC with a .522 batting average, going 12-for23 with five doubles, a triple, and a tournament leading 11 RBIs, good for Top-Batter honours. Matteucci also led all pitchers with 11 strikeouts in 10 innings pitched. Alberta would beat Ontario in the final 6-2. Team BC went 3-1 in the round robin with an opening 14-4 victory over Quebec 2, before bombing Nova Scotia 13-1. They lost to defending champion Ontario 13-4 before taking out Ontario 2, 11-1. Meanwhile, Schroder’s Team BC opened with a 17-6 victory over Saskatchewan with Schroder getting the win on the mound, and going 3-for-3 at

the plate, to garner game MVP honours. BC would then mercy Manitoba 24-10 in five innings, before dropping a close 18-15 match to Alberta. Schroder would get the start on the mound in the final against Alberta, and got off to a great start surrendering just one run in the first two innings and striking out four over three and one-third innings. However, Alberta bats came alive in the fourth scoring four times to take a 7-0 lead, but BC’s bats were silenced by

Alberta pitching as the team would get shut out in six 10-0. Matteucci will now play for Team Canada as they get set to travel to Japan on Friday to participate in the Women’s Baseball World Cup. Eight teams, including Australia, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, Japan, Netherlands, United States and Venezuela, have been confirmed as the National Team participants in the Sixth Women’s Baseball World Cup, that goes Sept. 1-7 in Miyazaki.

Smokies make moves BY TIMES STAFF The Trail Smoke Eaters have had an eventful August before even hitting the ice for their fall camp at the end of the month. On Thursday, the Smokies made room on their roster as they released Dylan Bowen, Nathan Browne, Taylor Armbruster, and Nakusp native Greyson Reitmeier, while dealing last year’s captain and Nelson native Adam Wheeldon to the Camrose Kodiaks for future considerations. The rugged Wheeldon played three years with the Smoke Eaters scoring 17 goals and 22 assists in 140 games while racking up 177 penalty minutes. The Smokies also signed Dexter McLeod, an 18-year-old defenceman from Edmonton’s Canadian Athletic Club Midget AAA program. The six-foot-three, 200-pound defenceman was the recipient of the “Richard Warwick Memorial Award” last season given to those who best exemplify good sportsmanship, leader-

ship, commitment, dedication, determination and selflessness when it comes to the contribution to their team The Smokies also announced Friday that Robbie Johnson, a product of the Pursuit of Excellence Hockey Academy Midget U-18 program, has committed to the NCAA Division 1 Air Force Falcons. Johnson will be suiting up for the Smoke Eaters this season, as a 16-year-old forward who was recruited by Trail Coach and GM, Nick Deschenes, after attending the Smoke Eater spring camp. Johnson hails from Kamloops and stands five-feet-11-inches and weighs 175 pounds. The Smoke Eaters are also looking for volunteers for the upcoming season, and are in desperate need of billet families for the players. If interested in billetting a Junior A hockey player please contact either Jack Beard at 368-6454 or Tom Gawryletz at 368-5000, or email remax1@telus.net.

Vancouver’s World Series run comes to an end Associated Press SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - Sam Slaughter homered twice and drove in six runs to help Nashville, Tennessee, beat Canada 12-9 in a consolation game Tuesday at the Little League World Series. The catcher hit three-run homers in the first and fifth innings, while third baseman Blake Money hit a solo shot in the fifth. Canada scored five runs in the sixth inning, but the Vancouver team’s comeback attempt came up short. Both teams Little League World Series’ runs come to an end, as they were both eliminated from contention last Saturday when Canada lost to Venezuela 10-0, and Nashville to Cumberland, RI., 8-7.

Lion nabs PoW

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - B.C. running back Stefan Logan was named CFL offensive player of the week Tuesday after rushing for a careerhigh 145 yards and scoring a touchdown in the Lions’ 33-17 victory over Toronto. Logan, who averaged 7.6 yards per carry, also caught five passes for 49 yards in last week’s win at Rogers Centre. Teammate Tim Brown took the special teams honour after recording 249 return yards. He returned 10 punts for 169 yards

and three kickoffs for 80 yards. Saskatchewan defensive end John Chick was named defensive player of the week and Roughriders wide receiver Rob Bagg was top Canadian. Chick had three sacks in the Roughriders’ 16-11 win over the visiting Alouettes. He had four tackles and a forced fumble to take the honour for the second straight week. Bagg, a native of Kingston, Ont., caught six passes for 90 yards and scored a 30-yard touchdown.

Moore, Bertuzzi settle THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A settlement has been reached in Steve Moore’s lawsuit against NHL forward Todd Bertuzzi, more than 10 years after the infamous on-ice attack ended Moore’s career. Geoff Adair, a lawyer for Bertuzzi, confirmed the case has been “settled in its totality” but said the terms are confidential. The multimillion-dollar lawsuit had been scheduled to go to trial Sept. 8. Messages seeking comment from Moore’s lawyer, the NHL, Bertuzzi’s agent and the Canucks were not immediately returned Tuesday. The notorious hit happened on March 8, 2004. Bertuzzi, then playing for the Vancouver Canucks, hit Moore from behind, sending the hapless Colorado Avalanche rookie crashing face-first to the ice and leaving him with a concussion and fractured vertebrae. Moore alleges the Canucks had put a bounty on his head following his check that left their captain Markus Naslund injured. Bertuzzi pleaded guilty to criminal assault causing bodily harm for the hit and was sentenced in 2006 to one year probation and 80 hours of community service. There has been years of legal wrangling since then. The civil case was filed in Ontario court in 2006 but was marred by several delays. Moore, now 35, never fully recovered from his injuries and was unable to continue his career. Moore said in the March interview, just a day before the 10th anniversary of the incident, that the lawsuit was not so much about the money as

being compensated for the loss of his dreams. “I lost my entire career in my rookie year,” he said. “I think any player put in that situation would do the same thing. I can’t recover anything else. I can’t recover my career, the experience of living out my dream from the time I was two and half years old of playing in the NHL.” It all started on Feb. 16, 2004, when Moore flattened Naslund with an open ice hit that put Vancouver’s scoring star out with a concussion but was deemed legal by the NHL. Major retaliation was expected. Vancouver’s Brad May was quoted as saying there was a “bounty” on Moore’s head. But when the teams next met on March 3, with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman in the house, there were no incidents. The fireworks came in their March 8 game, a 9-2 Colorado win. Moore squared off against Matt Cooke in the first period, a fight that was considered a draw. It appeared that was the end of it. But things got nasty in the third frame. Moore was challenged again. He turned away. Bertuzzi skated up behind him, tugging on his jersey, then punching him from behind and falling on top of him as other players piled on. Moore lay motionless on the ice in a pool of blood before being stretchered off and taken to hospital. Bertuzzi was suspended for the rest of the regular season and the playoffs, which cost him about $502,000, and he didn’t play during the 2004-05 lockout season. But he was reinstated for the 2005-06 campaign and has since continued his career, most recently with Detroit.

N.Y. Islanders sold, poised to move THE ASSOCIATED PRESS UNIONDALE, N.Y. The New York Islanders have announced that the team is being sold to a former Washington Capitals co-owner and a London-based investor. In a statement Tuesday, the team says a group led by former

Capitals co-owner Jon Ledecky and investor Scott Malkin has reached an agreement to buy a “substantial” minority interest in the team. Terms were not immediately disclosed. The team says under the agreement, current owner Charles Wang

will continue as majority stockholder for two years. At that point, ownership will transfer to the Ledecky-Malkin group. The team, which was founded in 1972, has announced plans to move from Long Island to Brooklyn following this season.

Daughter may blame mom for things gone wrong Mailbox

reason for this shabby, disrespectful treatment. -- Bewildered Dad in Illinois Dear Dad: Your concerns are all interesting possibilities, but extreme. More likely, your daughter blames her mother for things that have gone wrong in her life. You may see it differently, but this is your daughter’s version, and to her, it is the truth. Please don’t argue with her. Instead, ask whether all of you can go for counseling together to work through whatever issues are troubling her, so you can be a family again. We hope she will agree. Dear Annie: My

mail in the future? -Unhappy Neighbor Dear Neighbor: Ralph sounds like a loose cannon. It’s your decision whether or not to take care of his mail and plants. You are not obligated to do so, and he certainly does not reciprocate. But about the tree: In most cases, it is legal for you to trim the branches that hang over your property line, provided you do not harm the tree. However, we don’t recommend you confront Ralph directly with this because he is so volatile. Do you have a neighborhood association that can help mediate the issue? Would his wife intercede? As a last resort, you can take Ralph to court. And if he is causing your crabapple tree to die, you can sue for damages. Dear Annie: I felt compelled to respond to “Miss Lonely,” whose ex left her with two kids and she’s looking

for love. I was in her situation, divorced with two children. I started working part time, which built up my selfesteem. My friends and family encouraged me to return to school, which I did. I also got counseling for my chil-

dren and myself, which helped. Tell her to get involved with group activities. Surround herself with good friends and family. I am involved with my local church and belong to two knitting groups. Check your newspaper

or meetup.com for local information, and step out of your comfort area. You never know who you will meet and the friends you could make. -- Florida Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

neighbor’s tree hangs 15 feet over my property line and shades my crabapple tree. When I asked “Ralph” to trim his tree so that mine could get some sunlight, he went ballistic and refused. Whenever Ralph and his wife go on vacation, I water their dozens of plants and take in their mail. I no longer want to do either of these things, because they obviously don’t appreciate it. I once asked them to watch my dog when I needed to go to the emergency room, and they wouldn’t do it. Ralph got into a fistfight with the neighbor on the other side when the man wanted to install a fence on his property. He once physically pushed the cable installers when they tried to lay down cable for another neighbor. All I want is for Ralph to trim his tree so that mine can survive. Do you think I should water their plants and take in their

Dear Annie: Eight months ago, our highly educated 43-year-old daughter informed my wife that she hates her. She put on a humiliating performance in front of her two children, a stepchild, her husband and us. We don’t understand this at all, but she now wants nothing to do with us. We do not deserve such treatment. We have been good, helpful parents and grandparents. In March, I phoned my daughter and asked why she hates her mother. She refused to discuss it. Three months later, I wrote her a letter and asked again. She has not responded. Our daughter’s first marriage was not good, and we helped her emotionally and financially. Is a therapist giving her bad advice? Does she have a split personality? Might she be in a cult? Is her husband pushing her to do this? Please help us find a
