Searching for a few good men and women South Columbia Search and Rescue on recruitment drive BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff
The South Columbia Search and Rescue (SCSAR) team is recruiting new volunteer members to join up and respond to rescue calls. On Sept. 14, SCSAR is holding a recruitment drive and fun fair at Waneta Mall and president Mike Hudson, says anyone can sign up and become a part of the team. “There is always something for someone to do,” he said. “It doesn't really matter about age or physical fitness level.” Certain aspects of the work SCSAR does make different characteristics more valuable in a volunteer search and rescue member, but it is still open to all kinds of people. “Obviously people that are physically fit, are into the outdoors, have experience backpacking and skiing and all that kind of stuff are assets,”said Hudson. “But really, anybody that has any kind of interest or drive to be in the outdoors and has any kind of experience, or wants to help (is welcome).” Hudson says the See CALLS, Page 3

With August temperatures keeping the Warfield Pool popular, the village is contemplating allowing the pool to stay open past its usual end-of-August closing date should the current school dispute delay the start of classes on Tuesday.
School dispute may have ripple effect on pool
Warfield considering keeping pool open to the public if school start delayed BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff
Summer traditionally ends for kids when school starts in September, but with talks between teachers and government ongoing, summer vacation may be here for a bit longer. Kids are going to need something to do if classrooms remain empty on Tuesday, and Vince Morelli, chief administrative officer for the Village of Warfield, says the Warfield Pool may stay open past the annual scheduled close date, Aug. 31 – this coming Saturday. Staff numbers will determine if kids and families will be swimming into September. “It all depends on what we have for staff,” he said, adding that there are no concrete plans in place. “That is what we don't know for sure yet. We have some lifeguards that are high
school kids, so if they are going back, then the pool will have to shut down.” Keeping the pool open, even if the strike keeps going, still depends on the number of certified staff who will be able to guard the pool. “It will depend on the number of guards we have,” he said. “It's all about safety. We'll know what will happen (next week). We have to know what we have got for staff before we can make any decisions.” In Rossland, the pool is already closed, and it is because of the same issue – student lifeguards. “We actually closed (Tuesday),” said Robin Hethay with the recreation department in the City of Rossland. “For us, it is just that our staff are almost primarily university or college students. They need to get where they are going and a lot of them don't go to school locally.” In Trail, the Aquatic Centre is currently close for renovations, but is scheduled to reopen on Sept. 7.

The Dewdney Trail
The Trail Historical Society has kindly shared stories and photos of Greater Trail’s history. With the interest in hiking local trails increasing in popularity each year, it is important that we remember the most famous trail in our region: the Dewdney Trail. In 1846, the 49th parallel was established as the boundary between the colony of British Columbia and Washington State. Most trails between the two regions ran in a north-south direction. When gold was discovered in the southern interior in the 1850’s and 1860’s, the colonial government quickly acted to build a trail from the coast to the mines. Edgar Dewdney was given the contract to build the trail. The first section was built from Hope to Princeton in 1860. In 1865, the trail was extended to Wild Horse Creek in the East Kootenay when gold was discovered there. Through our area the preferred route followed McKay’s Trail south of Christina Lake, over the mountains to the headwaters of Trail Creek and then followed the creek to the Columbia River. From there it followed the river south to Fort Shepherd, up the Pend d’Oreille valley, over the mountains to the Creston valley and then on to the diggings at Wild Horse Creek. The trail was little used following its construction and fell into disrepair. However, it is important to our area’s history as it was from this trail that Joe Moris and Joe Bourgeois noticed the red colour of the rock on a mountain across the valley at the headwaters of Trail Creek. The five claims they staked became the nucleus of the mines on which the City of Rossland and the City of Trail were founded. When Eugene Topping and Frank Hanna established a townsite at the mouth of Trail Creek they called it Trail Creek Landing, later shortened to Trail Creek and finally to Trail when the town was incorporated as a city in 1901. Our community will therefore be forever linked to the Dewdney Trail. To learn more about the history of the trail, be sure to visit the Rossland Museum on September 18th at 7:00pm, where Richie Mann will present “Historic Dewdney Trail.” Pick up a copy of the Trail Journal of Local History at the Trail Historical Society’s office in Trail City Hall or visit the website www.trailhistory. com.

Calls increasing in last few years FROM PAGE 1 only mandatory requirement to join up is to have a sense of commitment. “We try and tell people it’s not a boys and girls club, it’s an emergency response group,” he said. “We have to be committed and keep up on our training and keep up on our skills.” The team currently has 27 members, and is looking for at least five to 10 more.
“The last two years it has been a really steady increase in calls for us.” Mike Hudson
Not all members are available at all times, so the more the merrier. “A call can go out and sometimes you can get five of 27, or maybe 10 (members),” he said, adding that search and rescuers have day jobs and may not be available at certain times. “It can all depend on when and what type of call it is.” Call volume has increased over the last few years and more calls means a need for more members. “The last two years, it has been a really steady increase in calls for us,” said Hudson. “We were averaging anywhere between eight and 10 calls a year and that was the way for a while. “Last year, we did 21 calls and this year and we are up again, hovering around 15 to 16 calls so far this year.” The recruitment drive is also going to act as a fundraising event with the dona-
Sunnningdale
tions going towards a new building which Hudson says will quicken call response times. “The building that we have now is quite small and our equipment is kind of scattered all over Fruitvale,” he said. “When we get a call, it greatly increases our response time (having to gather everything together).” Currently, when a rescue call comes in, members are notified and scramble to get the necessary equipment in the right place, adding minutes to the time between the initial notification and arriving on scene. The planned renovations to the building will alleviate that stress. “With the money, we would do a big renovation project which is basically going to involve tearing off an old, existing part of the building that is falling apart,” explained Hudson. “Then we plan to add a three-bay garage so we can keep all of our vehicles and equipment on site. It will give us faster response times when we get a call.” The recruitment and fundraising event will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will have search and rescue equipment demonstrations and displays, a barbecue lunch, a silent auction with prizes donated by local businesses and a chance for the public to come out and see what the South Columbia Search and Rescue does when it gets a call. For more information on the event or the search and rescue team, visit scsar. ca or send and email to Hudson at scsar@ scsar.ca.

The regional fire department responded quickly to a small grass fire along the highway near the entrance to Mural Heights along the highway on Wednesday.
Small grass fire highlights existing fire danger By Liz Bevan Times Staff
The Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue responded to calls of a grass fire on Wednesday afternoon at the entrance to Miral Heights in Trail. At around 3:30 p.m., crews arrived at the scene and according to Deputy Fire Chief Dan Derby, made quick work of putting out the flames. “We just respond to (grass fires) like
we would any fire,” he said, adding that the highly visible location of the fire meant lots of calls. “We responded with a crew from Trail and were able to extinguish the fire in short order. We received a lot of 911 calls about the fire because it was right beside the highway.” The grass fire, measuring about 50 feet by 100 feet, didn't pose any danger to homes or people, and Derby says it was probably cause by a cigarette butt.
“I am pretty sure that this was the result of somebody discarding a cigarette butt,” he said, adding that even though it has rained over the last week or so, there are still dry fuels on the ground. “That is obviously a concern for us. Everybody thinks that because we have had some moisture around here that the fire danger is gone, but that is definitely not the case.”
Trail Rec programs ready to go if school isn’t By Liz Bevan Times Staff
Trail's Parks and Recreation department has a plan for parents who don't have one if school doesn't go back on Tuesday. Breanna Ford from Parks and Recreation, says the programs offered throughout the summer will continue into September. “We are currently taking registrations for next week,” she said, adding that the
Montrose
future of the kids camp will depend on when school is back in. “We are waiting until Wednesday of next week to take registrations for the following week (if we need it).” The programs will continue as long as resources are available and there is a need from the public. “The plan is, as long as we can have camp leaders, to keep going with it,” she said.
Fruitvale
“(Camp leaders) are actually really hard to come by because most of them (from the summer) are going back to university.” The sessions will run in a similar way to the summer programming with a variety of activities. “(On Tuesday) the kids will be doing something called a human knot, playing Simon Says, charades, capture the flag, making treasure boxes, doing a scav-
enger hunt, a water balloon toss and then playing in the water park,” she said. “And that is all just in one day.” Wednesday and Thursday are field trip days with skating in the morning and crafts in the afternoon. For more information on the fall programs, to register, or to sign up to be a camp leader, call the Parks and Recreation office at 250368-6484.

cant development in a strike that is threatening to derail the start of the school year. Vince Ready, who has helped bring an end to a number of high-profile labour disputes in the province, described the meeting as “exploratory” as he assesses whether the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, which bargains on behalf of the government, are close enough to begin formal mediation. Teachers have been on strike since midJune, though negotiations were largely stalled over the summer break, making a delayed start to the school year increasingly likely. Ready acknowledged he was walking into a very difficult situation. “Last time I met
them, they were a long ways apart,” Ready said as he arrived at a hotel in Richmond, south of Vancouver. The gathering follows a proposal from the province’s education minister, who asked the teachers’ union and the employer a day earlier to enter into mediation, put aside one of the most contentious issues in the dispute, and agree not to stage strikes or lockouts for two weeks. Peter Cameron, the employers’ lead negotiator, said the education minister’s proposal wasn’t a prerequisite for mediation. Union president Jim Iker did not comment as he arrived for Thursday’s meeting. Iker has yet to say whether the federation is prepared to put the strike on hold and allow teachers to return to the

parties to negotiate an agreement.” The main issues have been wages and working conditions, such as class size and class composition. Class size and composition were also highlighted in a longrunning court battle, which resulted in a B.C. Supreme Court ruling earlier this year in favour of the union. The court ruled that the provincial government violated the union’s collective bargaining rights when it stripped provisions related to class size and composition from the teachers’ contract in 2002. The government is appealing the decision. During negotiations, the union has proposed a fund worth $225 million a year to deal with contract grievances related to the court case. The province
wants the potential impact of such grievances to be suspended until the case makes its way through the appeal process. Fassbender’s proposal this week would see those grievances taken off the table, instead leaving the courts to sort them out. Negotiations would instead focus on wages, class size and class composition, he said. The education minister has repeatedly said the government will not use legislation to order teachers back to work. The union has resumed picketing this week and announced plans to air radio ads targeting the provincial government. It has promised rallies outside the offices of the premier and several cabinet ministers next week if there’s no deal by then.
Aquarium seeks judicial review in fight against bylaw

classroom next week, though he has said such a move would likely require a vote from union members. Education Minister Peter Fassbender issued a statement earlier on Thursday asking the union to put the proposal to teachers. “Today, I am asking Mr. Iker and the BCTF leadership to canvass teachers in advance of Sept. 2 on the idea of suspending their pickets if (labour mediator) Vince Ready is engaged in mediation,” Fassbender said in the statement. “There are only a few days ahead for Mr. Iker to seek a mandate from teachers on this idea. I think parents, students and communities would like to know whether the BCTF is willing to let schools open and allow teachers to work while mediator Vince Ready helps the

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Aquarium has launched a legal challenge over the city park board’s attempt to prohibit the breeding of whales, dolphins and porpoises at the popular tourist attraction. The aquarium’s request for a judicial review, filed Wednesday, is the latest development in an ongoing and highly contentious debate in the city over the ethics of keeping cetaceans in captivity. The board passed a motion last month that, among other things, would prohibit the breeding of cetaceans in Vancouver
parks unless the animals are considered a threatened species. The board stopped short of banning captive cetaceans altogether, which some critics had hoped for. The aquarium is located in Stanley Park, which is overseen by the board. Aquarium president John Nightingale said the facility is asking the court to overturn the motion because, it argues in its legal challenge, the park board acted outside its jurisdiction. “The aquarium is exercising its legal right to challenge the validity of those resolutions in court,” he

said. “In short, we believe that caring for animals in the aquarium should be left to the experts.” Nightingale also accused the park board of passing the motion for political reasons. “Frankly, we resent being turned into a political football,” he said. Last month’s vote followed a special meeting in which the park board heard the opinions of 133 people on whether the animals should stay in the aquarium. Nightingale said the aquarium has never intentionally bred the cetaceans, but when possible, it keeps the animals in mixed-sex groups to simulate how they would live in nature. He said forcing the creatures to avoid breeding could require the aquarium to segregate the creatures by sex, which would be harmful because cetaceans are highly social. “That would be an inhumane thing to do,” said Nightingale. He said sterilizing would not be an option because the procedure could be dangerous for the creatures.

More federal cash needed: premiers THE CANADIAN PRESS CHARLOTTETOWN - Canada’s premiers have agreed at their annual meeting that they need more money from Ottawa to pay for health-care and infrastructure - a familiar refrain at these gatherings - but there was no consensus Thursday on how much cash they want to deal with crumbling roads and an aging population. Premier Robert Ghiz, host of Council of the Federation conference in Charlottetown, said those numbers would be released in January, when the premiers have scheduled another meeting. Ghiz also said the premiers agreed to set up committees to advise them on infrastructure needs and an aging population. “Those two areas were the ones we were unanimous on,” he told a news conference at the conclusion of the first full day of talks. The meeting wraps up Friday. The premiers also agreed to call on the federal government to set up a socalled aging innovation fund to help pay for ballooning health-care costs. However, there were few details on how large that fund should be or what it would be used for. The federal government was quick to respond to the demands.
“No government in Canadian history has provided more funding to the provinces for health care, and it continues to grow,” Finance Minister Joe Oliver said in an email. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said the premiers welcomed the input of Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard, whose federalist Liberal party defeated the separatist Parti Quebecois in April. “I think it’s a huge boon to the discussion around the table that we have a premier in Quebec who wants to take part,” she said, adding that Quebec’s status on a health innovation working group had been changed from observer to permanent member. Ghiz said the premiers also discussed the fiscal imbalance between Ottawa and the provinces. He cited a report issued Thursday by the Conference Board of Canada that confirms the provinces’ long-held position that the disparity between the two levels of government is getting worse. “(The federal government) is going to be coming into a balanced budget situation in the very near future and we want to make sure that our priorities ... are going to be front and centre,” the premier said. The report concludes that as the federal budget surpluses grow and
provincial deficits increase, the provinces will face a significant challenge providing public services. The premiers have been pushing Ottawa on the issue for years, saying the rising cost of providing social programs is closely tied to the country’s aging population. But the federal Conservative government has flatly denied that a fiscal imbalance exists. Ghiz said the problem is particularly acute in the health-care sector, where federal increases to transfers for the provinces are not keeping pace with growing costs even though the overall numbers are rising. As well, Ghiz challenged Ottawa’s assertion that it is spending more on infrastructure than any previous government, saying the amount may be larger but it is not meeting the demand. Premier David Alward, who is in the middle of a provincial election campaign, also zeroed in on the problems associated with an aging population and the need to boost the province’s lagging economy. The premiers of Canada’s three western provinces also announced they’re going to review the remaining trade barriers between them as part of their New West Partnership.
Poor food slowing growth in Inuit children THE CANADIAN PRESS Hunger among Inuit families is so prevalent in Arctic Quebec that it could be why almost half their children are shorter than average, new research suggests. A paper published in the Journal of the Canadian Public Health Association says the height discrepancy implies that food insecurity is a long-running problem - not just something that happens occasionally. “The observed association between food insecurity and linear growth suggests that the diet quality and quantity of children from food-insecure households had been compromised for a long time,” the paper says. There have been numerous studies in recent years documenting food insecurity in the North, which is defined as occurring when a family feels there isn’t enough on the table and either children or adults have to eat less as a result. A McGill University study found in 2010 that 41 per cent of Nunavut children between three and five lived in homes where they either had no food
for an entire day or where their parents couldn’t afford to feed them at least part of the time. Two-thirds of the parents said there were times when they ran out of food and couldn’t afford to buy more. Nunavut’s territorial nutritionist has found nearly threequarters of Inuit preschoolers live in foodinsecure homes. Half of youths 11 to 15 years old sometimes go to bed hungry. Wednesday’s study by researchers affiliated with Laval University is believed to be the first to look into the
physical consequences. They looked at 294 children between the ages of eight and 14 from several villages in Nunavik, the name for northern Quebec. About half of those children came from homes considered food-insecure. They found a high correlation between slow growth rates and food insecurity. They also found children from hungry families tended to be more anemic. Many causes have been advanced to explain hunger in the North. Jobs are scarce, leading to poverty,

which combined with high prices in grocery stores restricts the amount of food families can afford. So-called “country food” - traditional foods such as caribou, char or seal - is also made expensive by the need to buy hunting supplies and ammunition. The federal govern-
ment subsidizes the cost of shipping food deemed healthy and nutritious, but northerners remain skeptical about whether the program actually reduces grocery bills. Prime Minister Stephen Harper faced protests over high food costs at his Iqaluit stop earlier this week during his northern tour.

Jail time for abusing dog
THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY - The Calgary Humane Society says a woman has been sentenced to 60 days in jail for abusing a chihuahua named Chewy. Valerie Penny, who is 52, pleaded guilty earlier this week to wilfully causing unnecessary pain, suffering or injury to the dog. She also faces six months of probation and a 10-year ban from owning or caring for animals. The society says it’s rare for anyone to be jailed for animal abuse. Court heard that witnesses observed Penny throwing the small dog off a secondfloor balcony onto a fence and then over the fence. Chewy was injured but recovered and adopted into a new home.
Ontario
Unruly passengers charged THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A booze-fuelled fight between two women who were allegedly drinking and smoking in an airplane bathroom prompted Sunwing to turn a Cubabound flight back to Toronto, the airline said - along with a brief military jet escort. The flight left Toronto at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday en route to Varadero via Manzanillo, but was disrupted by “two unruly female passengers,” Sunwing said. The women consumed a “significant quantity of their duty-free alcohol purchase in the lavatory and lit a cigarette, triggering the smoke detector alarm,” Chapman said. “The passengers proceeded to get into a physical altercation with each other and made a threat against the aircraft.” The pilot decided to turn the plane around over South Carolina and “that’s when NORAD got involved,” said Major Julie Roberge, a spokeswoman for NORAD.

Rating the prime minister like a CEO
T
heoretically the political world and the corporate world are separate. But recently in Canada, say the last eight years, corporate dominance has so overshadowed our federal political scene that many question the independence of thought in the Conservative Party, and especially the Prime Minister’s Office. On economic policy and foreign affairs files, Canada now speaks increasingly with the voice of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers – the industry’s lobby group – and seems to draw its economic policy from the Fraser Institute, both western organizations with great empathy for profit, small government and tax breaks for corporations. To be fair, there is nothing inherently wrong with profit, efficiencies in public administration and reasonable tax regimes. They are all in the public interest. What becomes problematic is advancing these causes as the primary purpose of democratic government in a civil society. A majority government, even a plurality majority, has the duty to
govern in the best interests of all the citizens and to promote the public good. These duties require leadership that is comfortable with nuances, that listens and reflects, and has a searching eye for the middle ground. It is not well served by a leader in the thrall of dogmatism, who bases decisions on how they will serve his corporate base. To paraphrase Jean Chretien, Canada’s PM cannot be headwaiter to the oil patch. Given that we live in a corporatist democracy, we should sharpen our collective understanding of how the corporation measures leadership success. Arguably, we should then evaluate our prime minister using these criteria. First of all, any student of the business media, from Yahoo Finance to Forbes Magazine, will know that CEO longevity is closely tied to corporate performance. When times are tough, CEO reigns are short. Since the crash of 2008, CEOs of major global corporations have been serving as little as two to three years before dismissal. However, a recent
MIKE
ROBINSON Troy Media
Forbes article quotes an academic study making the point that in 2014 American CEO tenure has expanded to 9.7 years, and that this increase has been fed by the robust stock market over the past three years. The article also notes that corporate insiders are getting the fast track to the penthouse corner office. Most corporations that have been successful, in terms of stock market performance, will choose insider CEOs. To assess the effectiveness of our “corporate PM”, I spoke with several retired CEOs and CFOs. They reinforced James Carville’s dictum that, as always, “It’s the economy, stupid.” A good economy will normally reinforce the percep-
tion that the CEO is doing a good job, even though his or her actual performance may be less so. On this criterion, the PM has some air under his wings, but it is closely tied to oil prices and flailing pipeline projects. If the carbon divestment trend in global pension plans and university endowments continues to grow, Canada’s economy increasingly looks like an old onetrick pony. Great CEOs also pay attention to their VPs and CFOs, and especially their board members. They listen above, below and outside. Many recent PMO decisions (think ‘Duffygate’) look remarkably unadvised by these types of colleagues, if at all. The accumulation of stupid mistakes doesn’t auger well for CEO retention. The great CEO stays physically fit and exudes stamina. Think Richard Branson or Mark Carney. The job is enormously taxing, mentally, physically and emotionally. CEOs are effectively on deck 24/7, and must frequently radiate charm for diverse audiences. It helps if they have a sport they are good at
(think Chip Wilson as a competitive swimmer). The PM has work to do on all these fronts. Finally, the great CEO motivates his management team with a compelling vision that people buy into and venerate. The younger members will want to identify with the ideas and even the personal style of the boss. Leaders as different as Ronald Reagan and Pierre Trudeau were inspirational in their times to their staffs and associated bureaucracies. Does the PM have such a vision? Overall, our CEO PM has never looked comfortable in the position. If the economy stays flat and the pipelines fizzle; if the PM stays out of the gym; if more stupid mistakes occur; if the vision remains more of the same – this CEO is cruising towards a deserved involuntary dismissal.

Mr. Roche talked about the pressure of the military industrial complex to not move anti-nuclear initiatives forward and the need to resolve conflicts without war. Our goal, according to him, should be a 21st century without nuclear weapons. As the International Committee of the Red Cross states, “Humanity is at a crossroads: either a credible process or processes will be put in place leading to the prohibition and elimination of nuclear weapons or the number of States and other actors able and willing to use nuclear weapons will continue to increase.” The more nuclear weapons we have, the greater probability that they will be used either accidentally or intentionally. We only have to remember the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 to see how close the world came to nuclear destruction. Ultimately, all our concerns about quality of life, poverty, hunger and climate change will be meaningless, if our planet experiences a nuclear catastrophe. Canada needs to step up to the plate in order to make a nuclear-free world happen. We can do better. Alex Atamanenko, MP BC Southern Interior
latest version of the legislation infringed on teachers’ Charter rights. “Justice Susan Griffin’s ruling paints a picture of a government that stubbornly stuck to a political agenda, even after the court found Ms. Clark’s bill unconstitutional in 2011. When that verdict was delivered, a chastened Ms. Clark promised to fix the law. Her government vowed to ‘be entirely mindful of every word in the judgment,’” wrote Justine Hunter in the Globe and Mail Jan. 27. “‘The court has concluded that the government did not negotiate in good faith with the union,’ Justice Griffin wrote. ‘One of the problems was that the government representatives were preoccupied by another strategy. Their strategy was to put such pressure on the union that it would provoke a strike by the union. The government representatives thought this would give government the opportunity to gain political support for imposing legislation on the union,’” wrote Hunter. This past February, the government opted to challenge the second court ruling. “The judgment is completely unaffordable for taxpayers,” said Education Minister Peter
Fassbender in the Globe and Mail, adding that the projected cost of the court rulings is $1 billion. There’s no question that’s a lot of bucks but more importantly, the courts found not once, but twice, that the provincial government had ignored the laws of the land. Can you imagine what would happen to any of us if we were in a similar situation and a judge had thrown the book at us twice? They’d toss us in the clink or fine us into the next millennium. And what should perhaps be most troubling is the provincial government is the body responsible for introducing the rules we follow. Many provincial edicts are enforced on rankand-file British Columbians on a daily basis, whether it is speed limits or environmental contamination. What message is being sent to the public when those who set the laws can continually challenge court rulings? Leadership by example appears to be missing. In the end, it is the provincial government that created this mess, and until some common sense prevails, parents will be forced to find ways to keep their children entertained.

Leadership lacking in dispute By Richard Rolke Vernon Morning Star
Parents across the province are wondering if their kids will head back to school Tuesday or if summer holidays will continue to roll through September and possibly into October. During the ongoing labour dispute, much has been made of the teachers’ demand for a wage increase. It’s a sexy topic that the media and politicians can latch on to, particularly because many people already believe teachers have it pretty good. What seems to be forgotten during all of the debate, though, is what led to this entire situation. In 2002, then-education minister Christy Clark proceeded with legislation that stripped the issues of class size and composition (the make-up of a classroom such as special needs children) from the teachers’ contract. The court ruled in 2011 that the government had overstepped its authority and the legislation was sent back for reworking. However, what was brought back was a virtual repeat of the previous bill. That move didn’t sit well with the B.C. Supreme Court and in early 2014, it found the

PEOPLE OBITUARIES VILENE, RODNEY ALFRED – With heavy hearts, the Vilene family announces the passing of their father and grandfather Rodney Alfred Vilene on August 18, 2014. Born in Shoreham-by Sea, England on July 13, 1944, Rod came to Canada as an infant where his family settled in the Okanagan. As a young man, he moved to Trail where he found employment with Cominco. Soon after, Rod met his wife of 41 years, Colene. Rod was survived by his son, Rodney Jr., daughter Ronda (Finlay) and grandson, Justin. Rod was predeceased by his wife Colene Vilene in 2011.
Rod enjoyed many sports having competed competitively for many years in curling, long range target shooting and coaching hockey and softball. He also had a very creative mind and enjoyed writing music and song lyrics, painting, drawing wildlife and current event cartoons. One of his last creations was an archway used at his daughter’s wedding. His sense of humour and jokes will always be remembered! He will be missed by many including his brothers- and sisters-in-law, many nieces and nephews in Trail and Vancouver and his dear cousins in the Okanagan. Rod was fortunate to have wonderful friends who were such a support throughout his life and especially after the loss of Colene. At the request of their father, the family will not be holding a
memorial service but would encourage those wishing to honour their father to make a donation in his memory to either the Lung Association of Canada, 1750 Courtwood Crescent, Suite 300, Ottawa, ON, K2C 2B5 or the BC Cancer Foundation, Southern Interior, 399 Royal Avenue, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 5L3. Jordan Wren of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca *** BOULIANE/BERGERON, ANTOINETTE – Born January 31, 1921, in Drumheller, Alberta.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - The wait is finally over: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Hollywood’s reigning royal couple, have tied the knot. Despite two years of feverish scrutiny, the pair managed to keep one of the world’s most anticipated weddings shrouded from the media’s glare. When? Where? Why haven’t they yet? Did they already? The celebrity press and “Brangelina” fans alike had been consumed with the matrimonial mystery. On Thursday, a spokeswoman for the couple confirmed to The Associated Press that they wed Saturday in a private ceremony in Southern France. The representative, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to be quoted by name, said Jolie and Pitt exchanged vows in a small chapel at the Chateau Miraval in the Provence hamlet of Correns. Since 2008, Miraval has been the couple’s Southern France home, a sprawling estate they

bought three years ago. The union was less a vow of commitment than the official affirmation of one made long ago. Pitt and Jolie have been together nearly a decade and have six children, all of whom participated in the wedding. The wedding may have been cloaked in secrecy, but Pitt and Jolie are preparing to be a big presence at the movies this fall. Pitt stars in the upcoming World War II drama “Fury,” due out Oct. 17. Jolie’s second directorial effort, the World War II odyssey “Unbroken,” will be released in December. On Thursday, Pitt was far from any honeymoon hideaway. Instead, he was at the Bovington Tank Museum in Dorset, U.K., promoting “Fury,” a brutal tale about a tank of American soldiers rolling through Europe in the final days of World War II. Both movies could be major players in Hollywood’s award season, which last year was dominated by a film produced by Pitt, the best picture-winning historical drama “12 Years a Slave.” At Saturday’s ceremony, Jolie walked the aisle with her eldest sons, 13-year-old Maddox and 10-year-old Pax. Daughters Zahara, 9, and Vivienne, 6, threw flower petals. Eight-year-old Shiloh and Knox, 6, served as ring bearers, the couple’s spokesman said. In advance of the nondenominational civil ceremony, Pitt and Jolie obtained a marriage license from a local California judge. The judge also conducted the ceremony in France. Pitt once said that he didn’t want to marry until gay marriage was legal everywhere, but in recent years, the couple had said publicly they intended to. They were engaged in early 2012 after some seven years together. This is the second marriage for Pitt, who wed Jennifer Aniston in 2000. They divorced in 2005. Jolie was previously married to British actor Jonny Lee Miller for three years in the late 1990s and to Billy Bob Thornton for three years before divorcing in 2003.

religion Pope seeks quick beatification for Salvadoran THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Pope Francis opened the way to a quick beatification for Oscar Romero, saying there are no more doctrinal problems blocking the process for the slain Salvadoran archbishop who is one of the heroes of the liberation theology movement in Latin America. Romero, the archbishop of San Salvador, was gunned down in 1980 while celebrating Mass. He had spoken out against repression by the Salvadoran army at the beginning of the country’s 1980-1992 civil war between the right-wing government and leftist rebels. Francis told journalists that Romero’s case had previously been ``blocked out of prudence’’ by the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith but has now been ``unblocked.’’ He said the case had passed to the Vatican’s saint-making office. The congregation launched a crackdown on liberation theology under then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, fearing what was deemed as Marxists excesses. The movement holds the view that Jesus’ teachings imbue followers with a duty to fight for social and economic justice. Francis said of Romero’s case that ``it is important to do it quickly,’’ but that the investigation must take its course. He declared that Romero ``was a man of God’’ and suggested that he wanted to expand the church’s concept of martyrdom to include a broader field of candidates. Unlike regular candidates for beatification, martyrs can reach the first step to possible sainthood without a miracle attributed to their intercession. A miracle is needed for canonization, however. Traditionally, the church has restricted the martyr designation to people who were killed out of hatred for the Catholic faith. Francis said he wanted theologians to study whether those who were killed because of their actions doing God’s work could also be considered martyrs. ``What I would like is that they clarify when there’s a martyrdom for hatred of the faith – for confessing the faith – as well as for doing the work for the other that Jesus commands,’’ Francis said. Questions over that distinction have been at the root of the theological debate over whether Romero was killed by El Salvador’s right-wing death squads for professing the faith or because of his political activism in support of the poor.
Filipino bishops offer support The Canadian Press MANILA, Philippines – Leaders of the Philippine Roman Catholic Church, Asia’s largest, vowed Thursday to counter extremist religions such as that espoused by Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq. Archbishop Socrates Villegas, who heads the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, also asked the country’s bishops to collect donations for Christians who have been displaced by the militants and whose places of worship have been razed ``by a godless rage with which no genuine religion can ever identify.’’ Citing brutal actions by the Islamic State group, including the beheading of American journalist James Foley, Villegas said the Philippine Catholic church will ``do our part ... to counter the defacement of religion.’’ ``Those who kill and slaughter, wound and maim, destroy and burn in the name of God send the world the awful message that religion divides, that faith is oppressive, that belief can engender so much unkindness,’’ he said in a statement.

Not Everyone Will Be Saved
Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.
“God deems it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to grant rest with us to you who are afflicted, when the Lord Jesus Christ is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance upon those who do not know God and upon those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. They shall suffer the punishment of eternal destruction and exclusion from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at in all who have believed” (2 Thess. 1:6-10). Today St. Paul reflects on the coming of the Lord in his Parousia to judge the unfaithful and to recompense those who believe in him. So we see here that not all will be saved, but only those who know God. Salvation is not automatic. To be saved one must know God. And God gives everyone the possibility of knowing him by revealing himself through creation as an intelligent, personal, all-powerful being (Rom. 1:19-20; Wis. 13:1-2). But if through observing creation people do not arrive at a knowledge and belief in God, they will experience his wrath and eternal punishment on the last day. He has given them the means necessary to know him, and so they are without excuse if they do not come to saving belief in him (Rom. 1:18-22; 2 Thess. 1:6-10). It is an error to think that everyone is automatically saved and that there is therefore no need to preach the gospel to nonChristians. Only those who arrive at knowledge of God and who believe in him will be saved. We know how difficult it is to arrive at true knowledge of God though general revelation in creation alone (Rom. 1:21-22). How many in Asia, for example, believe

in only one God who is intelligent, personal, all powerful, and all loving, who knows and loves us and with whom we can enter into a personal, loving relationship? Most believe in many gods, and if they also believe in one supreme God above all the other gods, most believe that he is not intelligent, not personal, and does not know us or love us. In this we see the importance and necessity of the special revelation that God has given to the world in the Bible and in his only Son, incarnated only once for the entire world. So Christ sent his apostles and their successors into the whole world to preach the good news of salvation, the gospel, to every creature (Mark 16:15). We cannot presume the salvation of non-Christians. Christ came to teach all people of every culture and religion about God, and to redeem us from our sins by his death on the cross, by which he made reparation for our sins that satisfies divine justice. And this is applied to us personally and individually when we accept Jesus Christ with faith and confess our sins. Who knows how many, without hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ, arrive at sufficient faith for this salvation to be applied to them? No one knows. All we know is that Christ sent us to “go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned” (Mark 16:15-16 NKJV). Our part, then, is to preach the gospel to all peoples, and leave the final sorting out of who is saved up to God, for this is all that he has revealed to us. © Copyright 2007-2009 Rev.

Samsung unveils smartwatch that doesn’t require companion phone THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Samsung has unveiled a computerized wristwatch that can do more without a smartphone to go with it, while LG has one with a round design. Thursday’s announcements come as technology companies prepare for the holiday shopping season. Apple is also believed to be working on its own smartwatch, and could announce at a Sept. 9 event. Smartwatches are another product they can offer since many people already have smartphones and tablet computers. But companies have yet to make a strong case for why everyday consumers need one, especially when so far smartwatches have had little functionality without a phone nearby. Samsung’s new Gear S, the company’s fourth major smartwatch in a year, will have 3G cellular connectivity so that it can receive notifications directly from social networks, calendars and other apps. The Gear S promises to offer turn-byturn walking directions using mapping data from Nokia’s Here service. It also promises to make and receive phone calls, though it’s not clear how that will work without its own phone number. For this watch, Samsung Electronics

Team B.C. curling representatives Don Bedard, Gary Beaudry, Paul Devlin, and Russ Beauchamp opened the 55-plus Canada Games with an 8-3 win over Yukon on Wednesday. The team continues their run at the gold with games against PEI and Nova Scotia before Saturday’s playoff round.
Red Mt. builds Legacy for skiers
SUBMITTED Ski racing is a powerful, dynamic sport where winners are defined by mere hundredths of a second. The new Legacy Training Centre at Red Mountain Resort is set to pull ahead of the pack thanks to ultra-modern snowmaking, FIS slopes and an unparalleled dedication to quality and convenience. Red Mountain Resort is the home of ski racing in Canada and this proud legacy of speed is where the new centre gets its name. “Red surveyed race families and ski teams from around the world to find out what really matters to them—and we incorporated these ideas into Legacy,” explains Christine Andison, President of Red Mountain Racers. “We want you to shave time and have a great time.” Building a truly next level training centre at Red meant building a venue that will hold up to the special demands of pre-season training. To that end, the Legacy Training Centre has invested over $1.5 million on state-of-the-art snow-making to make sure that Red is “racer ready” in early November. Red recently purchased T 40 snow guns by Techno/Alpin of Italy, the world’s foremost snowmaking experts. “Temperatures on Red are cold enough for snow-making around late October and we’ll start blowing snow the second the mercury tells us we
ing ities v i r Th mun Com
can,” said Don Thompson, Red’s General Manager. Legacy is a partner project between Red Mountain Racers, Community Futures Development Corporation, Columbia Basin Trust, The City of Rossland, and Red Mountain Resort. “We’re proud to have partners that understand the importance of ski racing to Red’s history and future,” said CEO Howard Katkov. “A modern venue like this is a great way to acknowledge the mountain’s ‘legacy’ while moving our infrastructure forward for another 150 years of speed. Legacy will be THE place to bash gates next winter.” The new addition to the ski hill will will translate into an extra-long season for competitive skiers, yet also contribute to the Golden City’s economy. “The economic stimulus that this project will bring not just to Rossland but the whole area is tremendous,” stated Mayor Greg Granstrom. “We all look forward to the success of this venture and seeing athletes and families enjoying all that Rossland has to offer.” The facilities at the Legacy Training Centre offer athletes all the comforts of a fuss-free training experience, while making sure that parents can enjoy the action while still keeping in touch with work and home. The training lanes at Legacy are the exact slopes as the actual FIS race cours-

The venue will feature six slalom and two GS lanes for 2014 with plans to grow to include mogul skiing training and slopestyle in the near future. “The Columbia Basin Trust is proud to partner with Community Futures in support of snow-making and the Legacy Training Centre at Red Mountain Resort,” said Neil Muth, President of CBT. “This project is the fruition of years of effort by the Red Mountain Racers and we appreciate the partnership and goodwill between the non profit organization and Red Mountain Resort.” Legacy is set to open Nov. 15.

Warfield native Craig Cunningham has put in his time at the minor league level, and the former Vancouver Giant will once again look for a permanent position on the Boston Bruins roster in their upcoming training camp. Cunningham has been the ironman of the American Hockey League over the past three seasons, missing just two games over that 228-match span. If he’s consigned to play for the Providence Bruins again this year, he will likely break the record, needing to suit up 53 more times to overtake current record-holder Jay Henderson, who laced them up for the baby Bruins on 278 occasions. Cunningham, however, has proven his ability as much as his durability. He led the team in goals scored last year, 25, the exact same number he scored the previous season and was rewarded with a two-game stint with the NHL Bruins on Dec. 17 and again in the final match of the regular season. “Once you play and get sent back down, it makes you that hungrier. The life is night and day, pretty much. It’s the life that I want. Everything’s different,” Cunningham told the Vancouver Sun last week while playing in the Giant’s annual golf tournament. However, despite his good numbers and endurance, the competition will be fierce. Providence coach Bruce Cassidy said that he believes that Cunningham may still be behind a number
-3º
of other Bruins on the depth chart, including Ryan Spooner, Alex Khokhlachev, Justin Florek and Matt Fraser. However, one advantage Cunningham has over the competition is that he shoots right, and following the departure of right wingers Jarome Iginla and Shawn Thornton jumping to the Colorado Avalanche and Florida Panthers, respectively, there may be space for the 23-year-old on the parent club. But it also may take one more season in Providence. “He’s good in every area of the game and to be in the NHL, to earn your job, you maybe have to have a particular strength in one area to sort of solidify that spot for yourself,” Cassidy told CSSNE following the July development camp, “He’s missing a little bit of that.” Despite Cassidy’s e v a l u a t i o n , Cunningham is determined to play in the NHL. He has been training in Kelowna with many current NHLers such as former Beaver Valley Nitehawk Cody Franson, Nashville Predator’s Shea Weber, and former Montreal Canadiens defenceman Josh Gorges, and says it is the best shape he has been in as a pro. “You need to go to camp in the best shape possible and see where you fit in and what role you can play,” said Cunningham, who is five-foot-10, 185 pounds. “It’s always nice to know that there’s an opportunity. It pushes you that much more throughout your summer.” The Bruins camp begins on Sept. 19 in Willmington, Mass.

erhaps someone can explain this for me why is scruffy such an in thing for pro hockey and ball players? Unkempt hair and shaggy beards are all the rage, it seems, among those who profess to be aware of their, “role model,” status. I do not recall great players such as Maurice Richard, Gordie Howe, Jean Beliveau Bobby Orr or Wayne Gretzkty seeing any need to come to the rink, playoff time or not, in a seemingly unwashed state - although I know and have heard of many whose undergarments were less than pristine during a winning streak - so what happened that prompted modern players, good bad and indifferent, to proudly strut around

not slacker hip. ***** In case you missed it, and many did, it is likely the recent senior men’s baseball tournament at Butler Park showcased the best amateur baseball anywhere in Canada this year. The second-place Langley Blaze, beaten twice by the champion Kamloops Sun Devils, have just become this year’s national champions (using the entry there gained by winning last season’s tournament - a scheduling thing). Those two teams were the best of the crop at Butler, but there was more excellence involved than just those two. Even a shorthanded Trail Orioles squad gave them both a run. Next time, take my advice and get out to the park.

clothes begin to smell like hers. Susan is already talking about another trip, and I don’t know how to respond. I enjoy traveling, but I cannot deal with these things anymore. Any suggestions? -- Struggling Cousin Dear Cousin: You have to tell Susan about the cat odor. She is undoubtedly so accustomed to it that she can no longer smell it. Say, “Susan, I’m sure you probably don’t notice it, but your clothes are starting to smell like your cats. Perhaps it would help to change the type of litter you use or put your clothes in a differ-

We are concerned about his financial situation and his health. What should we do? -Concerned Dear Concerned: Is Dad mentally competent? Have you met this woman? There are lawyers who specialize in elder law and can draw up papers to protect Dad’s assets, regardless of the circumstances. But if the woman is essentially a live-in paid companion and caregiver, it is simply a matter of checking on Dad regularly to see that he is properly cared for. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “At a Loss for Words,” whose mother shows little interest in her daughter’s children. She says her mom “is extremely self-centered.” She
wants her mother in her life, but the hurt is getting to be too much. I agree with most of your advice, but I think she should continue to invite the mother, regardless of whether she attends or not. Narcissistic people crave attention, even
negative attention. Not inviting Mom allows her to think of herself as a victim of an ungrateful daughter. An invitation hurts no one, especially if the grandchildren are taught that Grandma probably won’t attend, and it prevents giv-
ing Grandma a way to show her disapproval, cause hurt and be the center of attention. -N in N.C. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

ent closet.” The weight issue, however, is more sensitive. If you are willing to address it directly, gently let Susan know that her size makes travel uncomfortable for you. Consider buying your own firstclass, business class or premium economy ticket, and Susan can follow suit or sit elsewhere. Or perhaps you each could share the cost of a third seat so you have extra room. You also could suggest sitting separately on tour buses so that you can meet new friends along the way. Dear Annie: My dad is in his mid-90s. There is a woman in her early 60s who has worked for him and been a companion of his for about six months. Dad would like to ask this lady to move in with him. This isn’t particularly romantic in nature. The only thing Dad knows about the woman is that she seems to be nice and

Dear Annie: My second cousin “Susan” and I are in our 60s and have been friends since childhood. I was widowed six years ago. Susan never married. Four years ago, Susan and I started traveling together. It’s much cheaper to travel as part of a couple than solo, and we get along well. Now, however, there are a couple of problems. Susan has put on so much weight that she encroaches on my airplane seat and tour bus bench. Airplane seats are not that comfortable to begin with, and Susan takes up a good third of mine. This makes long flights very uncomfortable. I think Susan should pay for a firstclass seat or two coach seats. The other problem is that Susan has taken in several stray dogs and cats, and her clothes reek of cat urine. I no longer want to share a hotel closet when we travel, because my

Cards of Thanks
Cards of Thanks
Our sincere thanks On behalf of our Family, we would like to extend our heartfelt thank you and appreciation to all those who stood by us throughout our very difďŹ cult time during Trina’s passing. We are deeply touched by your prayers, visitations, phone calls, emails, cards, owers, food, and words of encouragement. How truly grateful we are to have such wonderful support from our families and friends. Your love and acts of kindness have been very much appreciated during this period of bereavement. Special thanks go out to Constable Kerry Szkica, Constable Nathan Fox, and Support Worker Mandy, from the Trail RCMP Detachment. These incredible people stood by our side for hours after being the bearers of tragic news, probably the most difďŹ cult assignment in law enforcement. Thank you, Bill Clark, Alternative Funeral & Cremation Services, for your special efforts and guidance. Also special thanks go out to Ray Tenisci for the Eulogy, Jim Halpin for his prayer and song, and Jim Stevens for the beautiful poem he wrote about Trina. Thank you, Donna Halpin and Gwen Surgenor for your continuous support . You all identiďŹ ed with us in our time of grief and we are blessed to have friends like you and are so thankful for all you’ve done for us during our Private Service that was held on August 4, 2014. Trina will be missed forever, but we know that she will live in our hearts and in the hearts of all who shared their grief with us during this difďŹ cult time. With warmest regards, Peter & Paula Makortoff and Family

What you see ... Geri Coe photo
Geri Coe zoomed in to catch this hoverfly feasting on an echenechia flower in her Warfield yard this week. According to Wikipedia, hoverflies are also referred to as flower flies or syrphid flies. They are often seen hovering or nectaring at flowers; the adults of many species feed mainly on nectar and pollen, while the larvae (maggots) eat a wide range of foods. In some species, the larvae are insectivores and prey on aphids, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects. If you have a photo you would like to share with our readers email it editor@tailtimes.ca.
