Communities Calendar captures seniors and classics back LCIC funding Hollywood-themed effort to raise funds for Beaver Valley seniors
Director rules to be clarified

Over 20 models filed into the Fruitvale Community Hall for a big reveal. They weren't the kind of models you see on a fashion runway, but local seniors who had their moment in the spotlight for the very first Hollywood Classics calendar. The 12-month calendar features volunteers captured in scenes from classic movies such as “The Sound of Music,” “Rio Bravo,” “Bonnie and Clyde,” “Grease” and many more. Fruitvale's mayor, Patricia Cecchini has been working on the calendar fundraising idea for months and she says she is pleased to see it finally come to fruition. “This project took us 10 months,” she said. “We started in January with our ideas and putting our thoughts together and we are really excited to finally be getting this out to the public.” The calendar will be on sale in Fruitvale and Montrose for $20 each to raise funds for Beaver Valley Seniors programming. “This is going to be a tremendous fundraiser with all the funds going to senior's programming,” said Cecchini. “We're hoping to do more things like rent a bus and go on different tours and field trips and this will allow us to do that.” Carol and Koert Dieterman had the chance to portray Sandy and Danny from the classic musical “Grease” and they say they had a ball snapping photos and dressing up in costumes. “It was a riot, an absolute riot,” said Koert, adding that he was excited to see so much local participation in the calendar. “It was neat to have to the involvement in the community. Usually, in other communities, seniors get lost in the shuffle, and here, they don't.” Carol agreed with her husband, and says she will be getting a calendar for each of their children. “We have got calendars on order already to give to our kids,” she said, adding that there isn't anywhere else she would rather live than Fruitvale. “I love to brag to our friends and

Seven politicians have agreed, in theory, to pay into new regional economic plan. Before representatives from Rossland to Fruitvale move ahead with a five-year agreement to fund local economic development, a few details need to be ironed out. The first being, the renewed service must be clear of any appearance of impropriety because of the direct financial implications related to the proposal that over five years adds up to a $750,000 commitment. With the Columbia Basin Trust now on board to finance $50,000 annually toward the economic resource, Trail would fund the Lower Columbia Initiatives Corporation (LCIC) almost $70,000 each year; Area A, $25,000; Area B, $15,500; Rossland, $$27,000; Fruitvale $8,500 annually; Warfield, $7,300; and Montrose $4,700. Following a service review in “The LCIC should 2013, regional disnot contain trict representatives from the East any political End Services (EES), appointees or which is committee administrators.” comprised of elected officials from those COUN. ROBERT CACCHIONI communities, decided to end the economic development service citing its high and unsustainable cost to taxpayers. Even with a revamped less expensive proposal, some of the EES directors still sit on the LCIC board. That means, there could be the appearance of conflict of interest with respect to the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary's (RDKB) financial decisions that affect the LCIC. Conversations ensued during the last few EES meetings in light of the B.C. Court of Appeal's 2013 decision involving conflict of interest by local government elected officials. In that case, (Schlenker v. Torgrimson) the court held that two elected officials (trustees) were in a conflict of interest under the Community Charter when they voted to “dedicate” money to a non-profit environmental society of which they were directors – actions that can be construed as personal gain. So, before moving on to fund the new service, a restructure of the LCIC board is being considered in light of the Schlenker decision. As it stands now, eight LCIC board members are nominated and appointed by the See MONEY, Page 3

She says she feels lucky to live in a community that is so supportive of seniors and getting them out and about. “Our village is just so lucky to have this age-friendly group,” she said. “It brings seniors together. It’s social and we have a lot of interesting topics (at the monthly luncheons) and
now that we are doing this fundraiser, we can do more.” Recreating “The Sound of Music” for the calendar was a good fit for Booth. “I love (the movie),” she said. “It is one of my absolute favourites. The funny part was that I had no idea how to hold the guitar.” Fruitvale councillor, Bert Kniss, was also featured in the calendar as Fred Astaire in the 1952 movie “Singin' in the Rain,” a perfect choice for Kniss, a seasoned dancer.

New trail ready to be unveiled
The Grand Forks Gazette The Grand Forks/Christina Lake Multi-Use Trails project is a perfect example of what can happen when partners work together towards one common goal. It has been the Grand Forks ATV Club at the helm, applying for and receiving a Job Creation grant to hire four people to clear, map, sign and install three staging areas in the Stewart, Morrissey and Sand Creek areas. Two of the areas are now complete—Stewart and Morrissey—with work at Sand Creek underway. In celebration of much work and planning, a special ribbon-cutting, trail opening and partner appreciation event will be held at Morrissey Creek staging area (one-half kilometre east of Grand Forks) on Oct. 15 at 1 p.m. “With signage everyone can safely enjoy the outdoors, have a great experience and with the staging areas locations have a picnic lunch or use a outhouse along the way,” explained Grand Forks ATV Club vice-president Doug Zorn The area covered by the multi-use project is from Grand Forks east to Christina Lake and Hwy 3 north to the Sand Creek Forest Service Road.
Call village office to reserve calendar FROM PAGE 1 “It was very fun,” he said, “I was supposed to be Fred Astaire, and I used to be a tap dancer. I have a history with dancing.” Kniss says fundraising through calendar sales is important for improving quality of life for Fruitvale seniors. “By being involved, and when we involve the seniors more, then I think that extends lifespan,” he said. “It is just fun and I think you can spend your last years smiling and laughing.” The calendar is selling for $20 and Cecchini says there are going to be 300 printed and bound by Oct. 15, with 70 calendars already reserved for purchase by community members. To reserve a calendar, call the Village of Fruitvale office at 250367-7551.

Gold, silver and coin buyer Barry Dick had a steady stream of customers pass through his two-day shop set up in the Trail Memorial Centre. The precious metals buyer assesses the value of gold through its purity and weight, and coins by rarity. He said that 40 per cent of the world's annual gold harvest is recycled metal, which is cost efficient and good for the environment. Items purchased by his company, Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin, are sent directly to a smelter for melting and re-purifying, then sold back into the world market. Dick has one more day of business in Trail today, then travels to Castlegar to set up shop Thursday and Friday.

Small raise approved for mayor and council Trail

Nelson’s mayor will be paid $2,000 more per year and councillors another $1,000 each starting in 2015, in line with a citizens’ committee’s recommendations. The group was asked to take a second look at the issue after receiving some additional information about the amount similar-sized cities pay their elected officials.

Currently Nelson’s mayor makes about $35,500 annually and councillors about $15,300 each. Combined with other perks, the total cost of remuneration is about $146,000 per year. When the committee originally met in June, it concluded the present stipends were adequate, although it suggested a change to a technology and clothing allowance that presently pays the mayor about $2,200 per year and

Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs, Fruitvale Mayor Patricia Cecchini, and Greg Granstrom, mayor of Rossland all sit on the LCIC board of directors. “Those political people who sit on the LCIC board have to vote on money, or a particular contract, have to excuse themselves or put alternates in,” explained Trail Coun. and RDKB Director Robert Cacchioni. “They can’t be in the room for discussions or deliberations because they can be disqualified under the Schlenker decision. The board of directors is in control of signing contracts with the regional district, therefore they are in conflict. The case now impacts boards of directors involved in decision making and contract negotiations, and puts mayors and councillors in a position where they can be investigated, and even have their position withdrawn, Cacchioni added. Montrose council discussed LCIC re-structure options during the Monday night meeting, and agreed that no elected officials should sit on the LCIC board. Cacchioni agrees with Montrose’s decision, but goes one step further. “The LCIC should not contain any political appointees or administrators,” he said. “Because they tend to make decisions based on their own municipalities or areas. I would like ordinary working citizens interested in that type of thing to be on the board of directors. Remove the politics out of it.” The matter will go before the EES members Oct 21 for a final decision.

That would have brought the total annual cost to about $148,000. Both staff and the committee recommended future pay increases be tied to the average of the BC consumer price index and two per cent, rather than just the CPI.

Provincial
B.C. transportation plan steers clear of ferry, toll complaints Minister seeks public input ahead of 10-year plan release By Jeff Nagel Black Press
Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n Minister Todd Stone is calling for public input to help guide a new 10-year provincial transportation plan he
aims to unveil by the end of January. The public consultations for the plan – dubbed “B.C. On the Move” – include meetings across the province with communities and stakeholders, a Twitter town hall and a dedicated website at engage.gov.bc.ca/ transportationplan. Stone said he
expects local priorities coming forward may include calls for secondary road improvements, more highway passing lanes or fourlane sections, as well as enhancements to local transit or cycling routes. The ministry is accepting submissions until Dec. 12. Survey questions to
the public released by the ministry emphasize highway improvements and ask nothing about coastal ferry service or fares – the main source of criticism for Stone in recent months. The ministry will instead rely on previous public consultations in 2011 by the B.C. Ferry Commissioner to

guide the ferries portion of the new plan. Nor does the document ask the public if they’re willing to pay more tolls to finance new bridges in Metro Vancouver. Stone previously promised a tolling policy review, in light of probable new tolls on replacements of the Pattullo Bridge and Massey Tunnel, and a call from Metro mayors for tolling reform to allow road pricing to fund TransLink. Tolling inequity is already a major complaint among Surreyarea residents, who feel singled out by tolls on the province’s Port Mann Bridge and TransLink’s Golden Ears Bridge. Stone said he remains committed to review the policy, which allows tolls only on new infrastructure where there’s a reasonable untolled alternative, but couldn’t give

a timeline. The replacement of the Massey Tunnel between Delta and Richmond with a new bridge is already in the technical design phase and is expected to be one of the plan’s centrepiece projects, along with the Cariboo Connector four-laning of 440 kilometres of Highway 97 from Cache Creek to Prince George. It’s also expected to explore options for a future second crossing of Okanagan Lake in Kelowna. Stone said a successful referendum on new taxes for TransLink in Metro Vancouver next spring would result in the mayors’ transit expansion plans being added into the provincial plan. A referendum defeat, he said, would leave “other investments” identified as priorities in the Lower Mainland to be pursued under the plan. Stone said he’s working collaboratively with the mayors to help them adjust their financial assumptions
and design the question so the referendum – to be held via mail-in ballot – has the “maximum chance of success.” A discussion guide for the consultations notes the province needs to replace aging transportation infrastructure, while preparing for an extra million B.C. residents by 2025 as well as the effects of aging demographics, growing demand for public transit and increased pressure on rural roads from resource development. As for how to pay for new infrastructure, the ministry document says the province would “explore different funding options” while also maximizing federal contributions and partnering with First Nations, local governments and the private sector. NDP transportation critic Claire Trevena said the questions posed by the province are “exceedingly superficial” and fail to address B.C.’s biggest transportation problems.

With a little more than three weeks to go before the first flight, an agreement is close to being finalized between the City of Penticton and WestJet Encore. Tickets, however, are on sale already for the daily flights, which begin Oct. 26. with flights from Calgary arriving at 2:21 p.m. and departing Penticton at 2:55 p.m. Sandra Oldfield, owner of Tinhorn Creek Winery, isn’t concerned about the deal not being finalized yet. She’s headed to Calgary later this month just so she can fly back on the first direct flight from Calgary to Penticton. Tinhorn Creek is also running a contest offering six seats on the flight for special guests who will be wined and dined when they arrive. The winners, she said, will dine at the Miradoro restaurant at Tinhorn Creek, stay at the Watermark Beach Resort in Osoyoos and go on a special tour and tasting session the next day. Oldfield said she set up the contest to help get people excited about WestJet connecting to the South Okanagan wine region. “We contacted them (WestJet) because we were so excited when they made the announcement,” said Oldfield. “Nothing we have heard makes me nervous about it at all.” One of the stumbling blocks to completing negotiations is a $100,000 marketing fund, part of the incentive package offered to WestJet. Though tax breaks and other incentives are permitted, the municipal charter prevents the city from paying money directly to a private corporation.

MARIAN SELDES
Tony Award-winning actress held Guiness record THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK Actress Marian Seldes, the Tony Awardwinning star of “A Delicate Balance” who was a teacher of Kevin Kline and Robin Williams, a muse to playwright Edward Albee and a Guinness Book of World Records holder for most consecutive performances, died Monday at age 86. She died peacefully at her home after an extended illness, her brother Timothy Seldes said. “It is with deep sadness that I share the news that my dear sister Marian Seldes has died,” he said in a statement. “She was an extraordinary woman whose great love of the theatre, teaching and acting was surpassed only by her deep love for her family.” Marian Seldes made her Broadway debut in 1947 in a production of “Medea,” starring the versatile actress Judith Anderson, and later appeared in hits such as “Equus” and “Deathtrap.” Her most recent Broadway outing was in Terrence McNally’s “Deuce” in 2007, starring opposite
Angela Lansbury. Seldes was nominated for a Tony five times, for her performances in “A Delicate Balance,” ”Father’s Day,“ ”Deathtrap,“ ”Ring Round the Moon“ and ”Dinner at Eight.“ She won in 1967 for ”A Delicate Balance“ and won her second Tony in 2010 for lifetime achievement. Her collaboration with Albee included “Three Tall Women,” which won the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for drama, “The Play
About the Baby,” ”Tiny Alice“ and ”Father’s Day.“ “I think I’m as ambitious as any actress can be, but I don’t ask,” she told The Washington Times in 1995. “I have a theory that it’s better for me if I wait and either the director or playwright chooses. The best opportunities in my career have come that way, and all my opportunities with Edward Albee have come that way.” In 1995, she was inducted into the

Today’s seniors are not the wealthy generation
W
orking as an advocate for seniors’ issues can feel like pushing water uphill. Yet, after a challenging few years which has seen headlines of flood and fire, bad food, bed sores, and a chronic shortage of affordable seniors’ housing, it finally looked like we might move forward. Citing a severe facilities shortage, then Alberta PC leadership candidate and current Premier Jim Prentice came on strong as a voice for the elderly. He vowed to overhaul the system, proceeding at “twice the pace.” We hung on his every word, and then cheered at his pronouncement that there will be a brand new seniors’ ministry. Hopefully, this will mark an end to the musical chairs of responsibility that have impeded progress and approvals like we have endured in past years. I’m not overstating it when I say we are allowing ourselves to be profoundly optimistic this will actually come to pass. Then the latest study hit. A new Bank of Montreal release says the wealth of Canadian sen-
iors has quadrupled since 1984. A Maclean’s article asks: “Why are we doing so much to try to help seniors when they’re already the wealthiest generation in history?” While 40 per cent of Canadian seniors lived in poverty in the 1970s, the article continues, that figure is now 5 per cent due to their thrifty, conservative ways. On top of that, seniors get subsidies at the expense of the younger (it argues), while more deserving (it implies) millennials just don’t stand a chance of getting ahead. Quoted economists claim that only brave policies such as clawing back the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), getting seniors to pay for their own healthcare, and shifting these benefits to younger generations – “Generation Squeeze” – will correct this. The idea of the vulnerable senior sector is a myth, they would have you think. Suffice it to say, I don’t agree. All seniors are not wealthy and we need to be careful assuming they are. Those who are have likely earned it the hard way. There was the depres-

sion. There were wars. People landed on our shores without a nickel in their pocket. Recessions weren’t invented in 2008; seniors suffered through many busts in their lifetime. Seniors did not sit in coffee shops lamenting their lot. They worked any job regardless of “lifestyle,” did not travel, did not eat out, did not expect their first house to have en suites and walk-in closets, and yes, they reused string and foil, fixed things when they broke, and walked miles to school in winter. Life was tough. For those seniors who have achieved a measure of wealth, they should not now have to quietly exit, stage left. And they should
not have to pay again for what they have already banked in contributions through taxes or to services. That’s the deal they made with society when they worked for their retirement. More to the point, most seniors do not live the high life, and in any case, whether or not they have any assets is a lot of noise compared to the real issue, which is the availability of quality care, facilities and services. If you want seniors to move on, you better have somewhere for them to go. While some lodges, homes and long term care facilities are fine, many are not. Seniors ought to age in the community along with the rest of us, enabling socialization and access to resources that keep them mentally, physically, and most importantly, socially active. Bringing up the standard of the actual facilities that already exist would be a good place to start, but a longer term vision requires new models altogether. This would reduce the number of people inappropriately housed in hospitals and
long care facilities. Investing in homecare and supportive living would allow seniors some independence and self-actualization. Preventative physical and mental health programs are other areas where there are cost-effective, efficacious, evidencebased opportunities to prepare for this generation of aging Canadians. We who work in the field of seniors’ affordable housing are excited about the possibilities, and now it seems, we may have some opportunity to engage the province in these long needed initiatives. Alberta has an opportunity to do more than pay lip service to seniors’ living conditions. I urge the Premier to do as he has done already so decisively on other issues. Please don’t wait to start the job of ensuring seniors have safe, dignified, healthy environments. We are standing by with plans-in-hand. Arlene Adamson is the CEO of Silvera for Seniors, a non-profit organization which provides homes to over 1,500 lower-income seniors.

Foot traffic wouldn’t hurt the Old Bridge
In her Letter to the Editor, Annette Gallatin inquired about the need for another bridge (Remind me why Trail needs another bridge, Trail Times, Oct. 1). If the Old Bridge was just opened for walking, the West Trail residents would be so happy. We would have more of them enjoying the aquatic
centre. Also the East Trail residents and others would enjoy walking over the Old Bridge and through the Esplanade Park and around the Victoria St. Bridge. Open the gates to the car corridor and make lots of room for kids on bikes and people walking. Remove one cement block on each end for ease of
entry. It is going be to a couple of years before the Pipe Bridge Walkway would be completed. It would be so great to just open the Old Bridge and just let us walk it. The Old Bridge can stand that. John Carter Trail

How do we also convince countries suspected of having nuclear weapons who have not yet signed the nuclear proliferation treaty to give up their arsenal, if the major nuclear powers are not prepared to do so themselves? The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) held its 130th Assembly in Geneva earlier this year in March and came up with a draft resolution: Towards a Nuclear-Weapons-Free World: the contribution of Parliaments. Among other points, the IPU recommends that parliaments urge their governments “to start multi-lateral negotiations on a verifiable, robust, non-discriminatory and multi-lateral treaty banning the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices.” The IPU also calls for a conference dealing with a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction to be attended by countries of this region. In reading all these documents, it is certainly clear that there is a strong international consensus to rid the world of nuclear weapons. However, the question that remains is how to put these words into action? As General Lee Butler, US Air Force (Retired) former Commander-in-Chief of the United States Strategic Air Command states, “We have no greater responsibility then to bring the nuclear era to a close. We cannot at once keep sacred the miracle of existence and hold sacrosanct the capacity to destroy it…..It is time to reassert the primacy of individual conscience, the voice of reason and the rightful interests of humanity.” It is time for Canada to play a leading role towards the abolishment of nuclear weapons. Let’s make this an election issue in 2015. Alex Atamanenko MP BC Southern Interior

LOCAL Support Reach a Reader program with online donations Reach a Reader has been an evolving process that started with an idea in Nelson. That idea spread and not only will be accepting donations on the streets, but now it has gone viral! Starting today and leading into the first week of November, people, local business and other supporters can go online and donate to the RaR campaign through CHIMP. CHIMP is an online donations forum that was
created to help manage charitable donations on behalf of organizations, families, or individuals. Margaret Sutherland, CBAL’s Communications Manager, met with a representative of CHIMP last week and they loved RaR! CHIMP has organized for every dollar donated online to be matched dollar for dollar by the Bienfaisance Foundation. We could not be more thrilled. There are some limitations in terms of the max-
imum amount that can be matched, but for now we are going to ride this wave and promote this campaign across social media outlets to reach as many people as possible. In addition, a news blast will be forwarded to local businesses in our region to encourage them to donate to Reach a Reader the matching dollars is a value added benefit! Tax receipts are available the moment a donation is made and there are no processing fees.
This is very new and we are just launching, but every community has been set up with their own page so people can donate to the community of their choice. If you have any questions or ideas about helping to promote this throughout the month of October. Visit the Reach a Reader main donation page at: https://chimp.net/ campaigns/reach-a-reader You can find your community on the right-hand side of the web page.

Eighth graders meeting goals in science: study THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A new broad-based study of most of Canada’s Grade 8 students suggests the vast majority take a solid grasp of science with them into their high school years. The Pan-Canadian Assessment Program, administered every three years by a group representing provincial education ministers, looks at academic performance in reading, science and math among students in their final year of middle school. During each cycle, the program puts its primary focus on one discipline, providing detailed statistics on that area, while offering more cursory overviews of the other two. Tuesday’s results, which focus on science, were based on test scores from 32,000 students in all 10 provinces, but not the territories. The test found 91 per cent of students could perform at or above the expected grade level in science. It also found average reading and math scores had risen very slightly from levels recorded in 2010. The latest results, released by the Council of Ministers of Education Canada, mark the first time that science has come under a national microscope. Results gathered in 2007 and 2010 trained the spotlight on reading and math, respectively. Gordon Dirks, Alberta education minister and chairman of the council of education ministers, said the latest science results bode well for Canada’s future. “Science is such a very important domain to our country,” Dirks said in a telephone interview. “It’s a domain that is vital to education, to economic development, to the future success of Canada. We need to ensure that our students are getting the kind of quality education in science that our country expects and requires of our various education systems.” Dirks said the test questions were not based on any one provincial curriculum. They were instead developed around elements common to all curricula, such as the characteristics of a sound scientific experiment. Dirks said he was particularly encouraged by the lack of a gender gap on the science scores, which showed girls and boys performing equally well across the board. Parity was not so easily achieved among the provinces. Alberta and Ontario recorded the top science scores, with British Columbia and Newfoundland and Labrador also scoring at or above the national average. Manitoba logged the lowest scores not only in science, but in all three disciplines. Education Minister James Allum said the scores were disappointing and outlined a plan to boost results next time. The province is going to target teacher education, school preparedness and help teachers prepare students for test-taking, he said. “While 86 per cent of our students in Manitoba are meeting or exceeding expectations, clearly there are some students who need additional supports,” Allum said. “We should do better. We can do better and we will do better.” National averages in math and science rose very slightly from results recorded in 2010. The bell-curved average reading score of 500 rose to 508 this year, while math scores inched up to 507 from 500. This year marked the first time that a national average score was calculated for science. The report placed that average at 500.

Fall chimney cleaning tips Homeowners whose homes have fireplaces understand that a little more maintenance goes into autumn prep work for their homes than for those homeowners without fireplaces. Readying the fireplace for another season of use requires some upkeep. A clean fireplace and chimney is the best defense against hazardous conditions that can cause a chimney or home fire. For those who did not clean their chimneys in the spring after extensive winter use, it is imperative to handle cleaning prior to lighting your first fire in the coming winter. Chimney cleaning can
be a do-it-yourself job. Rods and brushes can cost as much as $150, depending on where you live. That is roughly equivalent to the cost of hiring a professional chimney sweep once. But if you have a fear of heights or prefer not to climb up on the roof to inspect the chimney, you may just want to hire a professional. When cleaning your chimney, first place plastic sheeting in the fireplace and around the opening to the fireplace inside the home. Then climb up on the roof and remove the chimney cap inspecting the chimney for soot and creosote, which tends to be thickest at the mouth
of the chimney where it will cool and stick to the inside of the masonry. Use the correct size brush for your chimney to make adequate surface contact to sweep out the debris. Go inside and clean up the residual mess, then reach up into the chimney from the fireplace side and remove any other soot before moving into the basement (or wherever the chimney reaches the bottom) to remove any soot that has dropped from that area as well. Cleaning a chimney is a messy task that will take some work, but it is a task that needs to be done to safeguard a home before the arrival of winter.

Establish a home fire safety plan Keeping family members safe from fire involves establishing a fire safety plan. People rely on fire and smoke detectors to help keep them safe in their homes. Though fire and smoke alarms are effective, a firm fire safety plan that will keep everyone calm should a fire occur could make the difference between life and death. The U.S. Fire Administration says that more than 3,500 Americans die each year in fires, while roughly 18,300 more men, women and children are injured each year. Cooking accounts for the greatest percentage of residential fires, followed by arson. Dryer vent fires are also a big concern. FEMA says that smoke, rather than the fire’s flames, is responsible for 75 percent of all deaths by fire. In addition to physical injury and material damage, fires can cause a host of problems. Psychological distress, monetary damages and loss of pets may come with fires. Loss of irreplaceable personal items is also a concern. Although fires can be devastating, they’re also highly preventable, and smoke alarms and a home fire safety plan are two precautionary measures everyone should take.
Creating an evacuation plan doesn’t have to be complicated. Such a plan can be established in a few minutes and then reinforced through practice every so often to keep everyone fresh on what to do. • Begin by assessing the layout of the home. Figure out the two best exits from the home. • If your home doesn’t have two doors, invest in a fire ladder so that one of the windows can be a point of exit. • Know how to gain access to the exits, including the best path to take to avoid injury. It’s a good idea to consider a few different scenarios. A kitchen adjacent to the upstairs staircase may become engulfed in flames and make exit by way of staircase impossible. Just because you have doors to the outside doesn’t mean they’ll present the best type of exit. • Sketch out the layout of the home and the escape plan. Smoke can make it difficult to know up from down. Be sure everyone can reach the exits even if vision is obstructed. Try it with your eyes closed. • Check fire alarms routinely, and change batteries at least every year. • Make sure windows can be easily opened if they are an exit point.
Thank you all volunteer and service firefighters!
• Make note of who will be helping children or the elderly out of the home. • Establish a place where the family will meet outdoors. This area should be far enough away from the home so that everyone will be safe from smoke, flames and falling debris. Fires may ignite fuel explosions, so be sure the meeting spot is a good deal away. • Children should be instructed to run to the meeting spot immediately without waiting behind for anyone to catch up. No one should reenter the home after arriving at the meeting spot. • Do a few practice runs so that everyone will be accustomed to getting out quickly. • While in most cases it is better to escape and let the fire department extinguish a fire, in the event of a small fire, occupants may be able to stanch it with a personal fire extinguisher. Follow the acronym PASS to properly put out the fire. PULL the pin in the extinguisher. AIM the nozzle or hose at the base of the flames. SQUEEZE the trigger. SWEEP the foam across the fire base; do not just aim in one place. Fire safety is very important. In conjunction with smoke alarms, a fire safety plan can help everyone get out alive.

Castlegar’s Deanne Horning and Trail’s Rob Ferguson both go into Week 4 with 3-0 records. Among Horning’s victories was a 7-4 win over James Mackenzie of Castlegar. This is Mackenzie ‘s first year skipping a team in the Super League. Mackenzie’s third, Rob Norbert was a longtime teammate of Horning. Meanwhile Rob Ferguson has had three lopsided wins, one over another new squad, Justin Umperville and his Junior Men’s team

from Trail. Ken Fines of Trail got off to a good start, with a 9-6 win over Myron Nichol, but then dropped his next two games to Horning and Ferguson. Last Thursday saw a good match-up between the two new rinks, Umperville and Mackenzie. The see-saw battle included three different lead changes and some very good shot making by both teams. The match came down to the last end when Umperville had to make a draw to tie, but his shot came up just a little light, to give Mackenzie a slim 7-5 win.

Warfield native to start season with NHL Bruins
BY TIMES STAFF Warfield native Craig Cunningham will start the season in the NHL tonight as a Boston Bruin. Cunningham was named to the Bruins’ 23-man roster on Wednesday and will likely get the fourth-line start at centre when they open the 2014-15 season at home tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers. In a bit of a surprise move, the Bruins placed Cunningham, forward Jordan Caron, and defenceman David Warsofsky on waivers Saturday, but by Sunday all three had cleared. Warsofsky was assiged to their AHL affliliate in Providence Sunday and
Caron as the last cut on Wednesday, while Cunningham remained with the NHL club. Boston can keep the 24-year-old forward on the roster for 30 days, or up to 10 games, and move him back and forth between the big club and affiliate before making a final decision. Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli said the line up will be in flux for the first few weeks of the season. “[I want to] just see how the team performs to start the season,” Chiarelli said at a Bruins press conference on Monday. “We have a couple of combinations and permutations that we can start our roster at. So you may see a couple of recalls,
and the fact that we put sons with Providence, and Cunningham and Jordan missed just two games over on waivers doesn’t mean that span. that they’re cut, it “ O b v i o u s l y, means it gives us there’s always flexibility to move pressure (to them up and down. make the team),” So [we’re] just kind Cunningham said. of piecing the roster “I think every guy together.” in this room will In Tuesday’s tell you that the morning practice most pressure Cunningham centhere is, is the tred a line with pressure you put Daniel Paille on the on yourself.

ing against each other and fighting with each other, so it’s kind of a unique situation,” added the former Beaver Valley Nitehawk. Cunningham’s biggest supporter all along has been Bruins forward Milan Lucic who played with Cunningham in Major Junior on the WHL’s Vancouver Giants. “It’s great,” said Lucic. “I love seeing him around and having him around. It’s good to see him progress the way he has. I remember him when he was a 16-yearold playing with us, and he was just a shy, sensitive kid out of Trail, British Columbia. “He’s grown up a lot, and he’s experienced a lot. He’s
also gotten better over his time in the last seven years. “It’s great to see him earn a chance like this, and that he can do the best for himself to really stick around full time. He knows how to play. He knows how to get into the battles, he knows how to hit and take hits, and he knows to play in hard games. “He was taught at a young age that he has to play a certain way in order to survive, so he knows how to survive. He can be an effective player, and he’s also had that scoring knack down in Providence.” Former local Bruins include Tom McVie and Joe Zanussi. See CUNNINGHAM, Page 13

going to put their best guys on them,” said Desjardins. “That’s all their focus is going to be, to shut them down. We can’t count on that line every night. Are they a good line? Ya they’re real good, but we’ve got to get scoring out of the other three and our guys know that.” As the team gets set to open it’s season tonight against the Calgary Flames, Daniel Sedin said he sees a major improvement in the team’s depth at forward with the addition of Vey, Dorsett, Shawn Matthias - acquired as part of the Roberto Luongo trade - and 2013 first-round pick Bo Horvat, who will at least start the year with the big club despite suffering a shoulder injury in pre-season. “This year I’m excited because we have four lines that can score,” he said. “If we’re able to roll four lines, that’s the best thing for any team. If you look at the top teams in this league they have that.”

FROM PAGE 12 McVie served 17 years in the Boston organization, 11 as a scout, and finally had his name etched on the Stanley Cup when the Bruins beat Vancouver in Game 7 of the 2011 final. Zanussi was part of the 1975 trade that sent Phil Esposito to the New York Rangers, and Brad Park and Jean Ratelle to the Bruins. The Bruins host the Flyers tonight at 7:30 p.m. Other transactions: -The Detroit Red Wings also assigned Trail native Landon Ferraro, son of Ray Ferraro, to it’s AHL affiliate the Grand Rapids Griffins. -The Rochester Americans, AHL affiliate of the Buffalo Sabres, returned Castlegar native and former Trail Smoke Eater Lucas Bloodoff to Elmira Jackals of the ECHL. -The Brampton Beast agreed to terms with former Smoke Eater goalie Grant Rollheiser. Rollheiser was the sixth round draft pick for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. The six-foot, 225 pound goalie had 871 saves in 30 games, with a .906 save percentage in the Beast’s inaugural year last season.
Added Hamhuis: “When you don’t win the year before you’re always motivated to get off to a good start. I think everyone’s very motivated.” That feeling is felt throughout the locker-room and into the coaches’ office, where Desjardins will get his first taste of the big stage Wednesday when the Canucks travel to Calgary to take on the Flames in the season opener. “I certainly never take anything for granted. If you take things for granted you don’t prepare,” said the 57-year-old. “That’s the way I’ve always been and I don’t think this season will be any different.” One of the major focuses in training camp and pre-season was the system Desjardins wants to implement with the
Canucks - a fast, puckpossession style in stark contrast to Tortorella’s failed defensive, shotblocking scheme that never really meshed with the roster. “It’s going to be a hard-working team that plays for each other,” said Henrik Sedin. “I think you’re going to see more plays, better hockey, more offensive hockey, holding onto pucks (and) creating off the rush. “We have guys that can play hockey on all four lines and if you give them the opportunity to do that it’s going to create more chances. For me personally it creates more chances off the rush. We rarely scored off the rush last year.” The Sedins also played big minutes under Tortorella and wore down as the season dragged on -something Desjardins plans to keep a close eye on. “You like to have them on the ice because they do so much, but you have to be smart,” said the coach. “They do the most when they’re fresh and we have to keep them fresh.” Bonino looks set to centre the No. 2 line with Burrows and Chris Higgins in hopes of providing some secondary scoring to a team that registered the third-fewest goals per game (2.33) last season. “The Sedin line’s not going to score every night. Other teams are

or both, and will need to rediscover their form for Vancouver to have any chance in the ultra-competitive Pacific Division. “I think every year you’re got something to prove,” said Burrows. “It’s clean slate for 30 teams. All 30 teams are chasing the same goal. Right now for us we’ve got to make sure we start off strong.”

for. He’s hard-working, he’s down to earth, he’s a very honest and genuine person. He’s won everywhere he’s been as a head coach.” Whether Linden, Benning and Desjardins - all rookies in the NHL at their positions - can win with a lot of the same core that went to the Stanley Cup final three years ago, but missed the playoffs last season remains is the biggest question heading into 2014-15. “We’re excited about the group. The guys have worked hard,” said Desjardins, who led the AHL’s Texas Stars to a Calder Cup championship last season. “Now we’ll see what we’ve got.” Veteran goalie Ryan Miller was added in free agency to shore up the crease, and sniper Radim Vrbata was signed to play with Henrik and Daniel Sedin on the first line. Ryan Kesler finally got his wish and was dealt to the Anaheim Ducks for Nick Bonino and Luca Sbisa, while Derek Dorsett and Linden Vey were also acquired in trades. Despite all those pieces, a return to the playoffs for the Canucks largely hinges on whether an aging nucleus that Tortorella described as “stale” before being shown the door can rebound. The Sedin twins, Alexandre Burrows, Kevin Bieksa, Dan Hamhuis and Alexandre Edler all had down years because of injuries, poor play,

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER “Change is Coming” was the Vancouver Canucks’ marketing slogan this summer. In truth, most of the upheaval had already happened. With a 25th-place finish and their first spring without playoff hockey in six years just starting to sink in, the Canucks got to work early, firing president and general manager Mike Gillis and replacing him with Trevor Linden in April before the team had played its final few meaningless games. The club’s new president of hockey operations dropped the axe on head coach John Tortorella a few weeks later before settling on Jim Benning and Willie Desjardins as the men to help with his blueprint to revive the franchise and its on-ice product. “I wanted a builder with similar views that could help us set up the Vancouver Canucks for the next decade and beyond,” Linden said when Benning was named GM on May 23. “What really became apparent during our interviews is how much we connected on our vision and our values and how we see winning organizations in the National Hockey League.” Exactly a month later, Linden - a former Canucks captain and fan favourite - was back at the podium with his new head coach: “Willie ticks all the boxes we were looking

You can gently ask her whether something else is going on and let her know you love her and miss her, or you can accept fewer visits and see them in their hometown. (And for the record, it is appropriate for a server to approach the hosts about their guests’ poor behavior, and not confront the loud-mouthed drinker whose response is unpredictable.) Dear Annie: I am a grandpa with 16 grandchildren, all of whom I love dearly. However, I don’t particularly like four of them. They have a “you owe it to me” attitude and show absolutely no respect, not only to everyone around them, but also to themselves.

Dear Annie: My sister and I have always been close. Usually, little things are forgotten, but on two separate visits, “Susan” and her husband caused me a great deal of anxiety. The first was three years ago, when they came in for her husband’s birthday. I planned a party at a nice restaurant, bought gifts and made a cake. Prior to the meal, my brother-in-law and his cousin had a lot to drink. By the time they reached the restaurant, they were loud and obnoxious. Our server asked my husband to please keep the noise levels down. As soon as we got home, my brother-in-law grabbed his suitcase, said he was staying at his sister’s and stormed out. He claimed that the server should have asked him directly to pipe down instead of asking my husband. Last year, they visited again. On the last day, they ordered in

However, it also can make you a little luckier! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It will be natural for you to withdraw somewhat from the busyness of everyone and everything around you. Today you need a little R and R, or at least some privacy. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A conversation with a female acquaintance will be important today.

or she wants to confide in you. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It’s possible that a boss or someone in a position of authority will learn personal details about your private life today. Be aware of this.

Go someplace you’ve never been before to satisfy your urge for adventure and for a chance to learn something new.

Seniors from Fruitvale dressed in costumes and recreated movies scenes from classic films for a fundraising calendar.
