Outpouring of support helped poppy sales flourish
HOCKEY CANADA’S CENTURY TOUR ROLLS IN TO TOWN
Funds topped $22,000 locally BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff
Trail poppy sales were up this year as was the patriotic passion of Canadians across the country. Prior to Remembrance Day over 19 million poppies had been distributed across Canada leading to a shortage in some regions. And Greater Trail was no different topping last year’s fundraising total. The mood across the country was sombre prior to Remembrance Day on the heels of fatal attacks in Quebec and Ottawa that took the lives of two military members and that translated into an outpouring of support. “That is probably what it was,” said Neil Jarvie, vice president of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 11 in Trail and Poppy Campaign chairman. Regardless, he added it was gratifying to see more red poppies on lapels. “It is very rewarding. It is not the Legion they are helping, it is the veterans.” This year, money raised from poppy sales and wreath orders amounts to $22,500, or $1,875 per day, for Branch No. 11, but not every sale has been counted yet.

Trail was selected as one of four B.C. stops for the tour which features interactive games, video displays and some iconic trophies including the Allan Cup. The tour will stay in the Home of Champions for two days, Wednesday and today, with the exhibit open from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. The tour is in conjunction with 100 years of Hockey Canada.
CP Rail rep to field concerns at public meeting Friday BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff
A train blasting its horn in the early hours of the morning has awoken a group of upset residents living along the Canadian Pacific Railway (CP Rail) tracks. At a public meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Friday at the Greater Trail Community Centre, CP Rail will be responding to resident questions and concerns, like those of Russ Babcock in Genelle. Babcock says in all the years he has lived near the tracks, there has never been a night train, until now. “CP Rail has been coming in and out of Trail now for many years,” he said. “They haven't been coming in at night since I can remember and it certainly has been
decades. There is really nothing that has changed in Trail by their main customer, Teck, so there really is no need for them to go at night.” Babcock says the issue he has with CP Rail is how they don't seem to consult those affected by a schedule change. “They seem to have a total disregard for the communities they pass through,” he said. “I can appreciate that they are probably saving a little bit of money now, but I don't think that is enough to justify waking everybody up.” Mike LoVecchio, director of government affairs for the railway, will be representing CP Rail at the event. Linda Worley, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Area B director and

host of the public meeting, says she hopes to be able to help affected residents, like Babcock, have their concerns heard. “I am hoping that people will come to the meeting with definitive things that are bothering them and concerns over safety,” she said. “I do hope for Mr. LoVecchio and CP Rail to see the power of the people.” Babcock says he plans to attend the meeting, which is the second in as many months. The first was in Castlegar and Worley is extending an open invitation to anyone who couldn't find a spot in the last jam-packed information session. She also has her fingers crossed that the railway company has had time to address the issues regarding noise and
scheduling brought up in Castlegar. “I hope we gave them a chance to go back with our concerns from the Castlegar meeting and come forward this time with some new information,” she said. “We will find out in the meeting.” At the public meeting in Castlegar, LoVecchio said he would be looking into the length of the train whistles and would discuss with CP Rail, alternate options for moving employees on the night runs, such as shuttles from Castlegar to Trail. Worley is asking those who plan on attending the meeting on Friday evening to come prepared with their questions and concerns, but to remain civil during this important discussion. See AREA, Page 4

Six young leaders are being recognized for their physical prowess, volunteerism and life skill successes when a provincial dignitary makes a stopover in Trail this week. The Honourable Judith Guichon, B.C.'s 29th Lieutenant Governor, will be in town to present a bronze level Duke of Edinburgh's Award to the teenaged students on Saturday. The award program acknowledges youth commitment to adventurous journey, physical fitness, community service and skills training. Five Beaver Valley Venturers, Christopher Walker, David Walker, Katelyn Olson, Ryan Buckley and Griffin Tatangelo will be joined by Nelson's Sea Cadet Sebastian Bodine to receive a bronze lapel pin and “Achiever” certificate for completing the program's four key components over a six-month period. An 85 kilometre bike trek, numerous park cleanups. firefighting lessons and cooking a gluten-free Thanksgiving dinner from scratch, were a few of the challenges the teens were up against.

Olson, a 15-year old J.L. Crowe Secondary student, said she's enjoyed every minute of being part of the Venturers group and has learned many valuable life skills along the way. “They teach you a lot, like survival skills and how to make a fire properly or use an axe,” she said. “We get badges for that and it's cool to have a lot of them. And it feels good to achieve the bronze level award because we've worked toward it all year, so the accomplishment makes you feel amazing.” Guichon's presence is an added honour, says Venturer leader Heather Hamer. “She wouldn't normally stop in the area, and she usually only hands out silver or gold awards. So this is really special for the kids to be presented in front of her at the bronze stage.” Hamer noted that she's always wanted her group to work on the award, which requires at least one hour of community service each week for six months, alongside a commitment to increasing physical activity and learning new skills like cooking or fire fighting techniques.

“We've tried with groups before but unfortunately school and work commitments, and being a teenager, it was never completed. When we started Venturers a few years ago the whole program is based on life skills and community service which mirrors the Duke of Edinburgh program. So the community service part of it was nothing for my guys. They completed that and so much more.” The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is an international program for participants between the ages of 14 to 25 that is fully inclusive, and is without academic requirements. The program has been in Canada since 1963, but only recently gained momentum locally after Teck Ltd. became involved. Over 200 youth across the East and West Kootenay have participated in the national award program since Teck's sponsorship was announced in 2011. The company cov-

Money raised locally helps local veterans
FROM PAGE 1 “There are still a few odds and ends to add up, but so far, we are up $1,300 from last year,” said Glenda Reilly, administrator at the Legion. The money will be used to help veterans in the area who need financial assistance with day-to-day items such as glasses or dental work. The No. 11 Legion could have made even more money this year, but the organization has a shareand-share-alike attitude. “On Saturday (Nov. 1) Rossland came down and covers the (Waneta) mall,” said Jarvie. “Also on Saturday, Salmo comes in and does Fruitvale. They don’t have as many people.”

Legion members were out distributing poppies from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2, but poppy boxes were on display right up until Remembrance Day. In April, 90 per cent of remaining funds gets sent to the BC-Yukon Command where it gets spent on the same cause, but on a larger scale. The rest stays with the local branch. The Royal Canadian Legion is a fully self-supported organization and relies on poppy sales, volunteer hours and Veterans Affairs Canada grants to operate. The national office estimates that this year’s total will top a million more poppies than previous years.

A Nov. 12 fire in Rossland has left a young couple devastated. The local community is rallying to support the newlyweds with donations and an online fundraising.
Newlyweds lose belongings, wedding gifts in Rossland fire By Alicia Wallace Rossland News
At approximately 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 12, Aaron Milburn woke to the sound of crackling coming from the basement of their Fourth Avenue Rossland rental property he and his wife Sherelle lived in. Milburn initially assumed their seven-monthold kittens were up to mischief and the reason for the noise coming from the basement. But as he lay awake in bed he could not possibly think what the kittens could be doing to cause this sort of noise and he left the comfort of his warm bed to investigate. That decision was probably one that saved the Milburns’ lives and was quickly realized upon opening the basement door. Flames leapt out and Aaron quickly shut the door and screamed to Sherelle who was still asleep upstairs, to wake up and get out. The couple quickly evacuated their home but with the stairs to the basement on fire their kittens, Will and Lola, were still trapped in the basement. Once outside the Milburns rescued their precious kittens by breaking a basement window and scooping them up from amongst the flames. “They are very special to us,” Sherelle said of the rescued kittens. Aaron dialed 911 and within 10 minutes the emergency services arrived to extinguish the fire and examine the occupants. “It felt like forever but in hindsight it was pretty quick,” she said of the response time for
help. The cause of the fire is still unknown. The Milburns also reported that their smoke detectors did not go off. No lives were lost and neighbouring properties were not damaged as a result of the early morning fire. “Aaron was taken to hospital and treated for smoke inhalation, it’s not life threatening but he does have to use a puffer,” his new wife said. The couple was married just two months ago and had boxes of wedding gifts packed away. They were saving for a home of their own and planning to move at the end of November. Sadly most of the Milburns’ belongings were destroyed in the fire and all they are left with is the clothes on their backs. “The house is destroyed, if stuff is not burnt or melted then it has water damage,” Sherelle said. The newlyweds are temporarily staying with Sherelle’s sister who lives on the same street as the burnt out property. “It has been overwhelming,” Sherelle said of the ordeal. Members of Sherelle’s family have set up a trust account in the couples name with the Trail branch of Kootenay Savings Credit Union. There is also an online fund people can donate to at http://www.gofundme.com/h8oxxg Family and friends are asking the community to donate to the fundraiser in an effort to help the young couple get back on their feet. “Everyone has been very supportive, we are very grateful of the contributions,” Sherelle says of the community’s support.

Green Party working towards Area B director has concerns over rail safety candidate announcement
FROM PAGE 1 “I am hoping that people will be able to say what they want to say,” she said. “I want it to be done in a fashion that is non-confrontational because that could put CP’s back up and they might not hear what we are saying.” The public meeting comes after Worley and MP Alex Atamanenko received numerous complaints about the CP Rail schedule and safety standards from residents. “People are worried about property values, and some businesses, like Super 8 Motel, are worried about losing customers,” she said. “The train goes over Genelle’s aquifer and the secondary water source as well, China Creek.” “There are so many constituents that have contacted Alex’s office and myself and we have been collaborating through it all and we decided that we needed to have a meeting for this side of the regional district.” Worley can relate to Babcock’s concerns, but her main questions
revolves around the safety on the tracks. She, and others, have walked along the train route to check for imperfections. She says the fatal Lac-Megantic derailment comes to mind. “Does the train horn disturb me? Absolutely,” she said. “But with me, I am really concerned about the safety issue. They are carrying not only dangerous, but deadly materials. You would think, once bitten, twice shy – that they would be maintaining the tracks to their highest quality. I have been walking along the tracks, and several people in Rivervale are doing the same thing, and we have noticed rotting ties, unplaced ties and bowed tracks.” “I don’t dispute that the train can run 24/7, the tracks were here before people were here. What I am concerned about, at this point, is that they are not maintaining the tracks to the highest level.” The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. on Friday in the Muriel Griffiths Room in the Greater Trail Community Centre.

The Green Party will be making moves this weekend towards announcing a federal candidate for next year's election. The Conservatives, the Liberals and the NDP have already announced their chosen candidates, but there is still work to do for the environmentalist party. Celeste Kitchen, Green Party Electoral District Association board member, says the new federal electoral boundaries require the party to reorganize, delaying the announcement of a candidate. She says she hopes everything can get worked out at the party's AGM on Saturday.
“We’ve usually had a locally chosen candidate but if one can’t be found, the Green Party may find someone who is not local.” Celeste Kitchen
“The change in the electoral boundaries result in our new riding losing the Nelson area and gaining the South Okanagan,” she said. “The AGM in Penticton will lay the ground work for the process of nominating a candidate by building a larger executive which will be part of the infrastructure needed to run a candidate.” First, the riding has to form a committee to govern the coming nomination. “A nomination committee will need to be in place for facilitating decisions that arise regarding choosing a candidate,” she said. Even though the AGM hasn't happened yet, Kitchen says the party hasn't been sitting on their hands.
“Green Party (GP) candidates who have run previously, GP members and those interested in the GP or have values similar to the GP platform, are approached when their abilities, interests and profile (match) what makes a good candidate,” she said. “Discussion with friends and at events are also opportunities for discovering a future candidate.” Kitchen says the party may even look out of the riding for potential candidates, if the need arises. “We've usually had a locally chosen candidate but if one can't be found, the GP may find someone who is not local,” she said, adding that the financial burden of running a campaign could be a deterrent

to local people who want to run. “Being short on funds, our candidates have run by generously assisting. This does, however, cause difficulty campaigning competitively. “Certainly, funding effects running a candidate. We are and will continue to be creative in our work regarding running a campaign.” Kitchen says it is easy for SOWK voters to be green, based on their national platform, but she hasn’t seen it translate to party participation in the past. “Our platform has six mandates: ecological wisdom, non-violence, social justice, sustainability, participatory democracy and respect for diversity.” she said. “With a platform like this, it is easy to be Green. Both in Penticton and in Castlegar (the party has) been generally received with enthusiasm, however, after votes are counted, not as much as we had hoped.” Kitchen wants to turn the perceived enthusiasm into votes with research, a new riding executive and promoting party membership, capitalizing on the federal success of party leader Elizabeth May. The AGM begins at 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 22 in Penticton at the Shatford Centre with the focus of the meeting on the 2015 federal election and preparing the party within the new electoral boundary.

Price going up for Tim Hortons coffee THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Your morning stop at Tim Hortons is about to get a bit more expensive. The restaurant chain says it plans to raise prices for both coffee and breakfast sandwiches at its Canadian locations starting next Wednesday. A cup of coffee will go up by 10 cents, on average, though the change will vary by region, and the price of a breakfast sandwich will also rise in all provinces except Ontario. “We have been able to hold our pricing stable since spring of 2011, however due to rising operational costs there will be a moderate increase,” spokeswoman Michelle Robichaud said in an email. The cost of breakfast sandwiches, like bacon and egg on an English muffin and the turkey sausage sandwich, will go up 10 cents to $2.99 before tax. The move comes as Tim Hortons (TSX:THI) says it faces “significantly higher operating costs,” which include rising prices for coffee beans and meat on the commodities market. But it’s not just food prices that have been expensive for the company. During the third quarter, Tim Hortons booked $27.3 million in costs related to Burger King’s agreement to buy the company. The deal is worth more than US$11 billion in stock and cash, but still requires the approval of shareholders and regulators.
Robocall culprit sentenced to nine months THE CANADIAN PRESS GUELPH, Ont. Interfering with a citizen’s right to vote merits real jail time, an Ontario judge declared Wednesday as he made Michael Sona the first person ever to spend time behind bars for violating the Canada Elections Act. Sona, the former Conservative staffer convicted in the 2011 robocalls scandal, was sentenced to nine months behind bars and one year’s probation for what Justice Gary Hearn called “an affront to the electoral process.” He’s the first person convicted of wilfully preventing or endeavouring to prevent an elector from voting under the Canada Elections Act, said Hearn, who called his task “a difficult and troublesome sentencing.” Hearn said he believes Sona did not act alone in the scheme, in which some 6,700 automated phone calls were placed on the morning of the 2011 federal election with misleading information on how to vote. Sona was just 22 at the time of the offence, lacked proper guidance from more experienced colleagues,
and has suffered emotionally in the aftermath, Hearn acknowledged. But jail time was nonetheless warranted in order to send the unmistakable message - particularly to those involved in politics - that messing with the electoral process is a serious crime, he said. “This was a deliberate and considered course of criminal conduct specifically designed to subvert the inherent fairness of the electoral process,” Hearn told the court. “This was a federal election undertaken to elect representatives who form the governing body in our nation. This was not an amateurish Grade 8 election campaign for student council. Conduct such as that of Mr. Sona is not suitable at any time.” Sona hung his head and fiddled with his BlackBerry, his family members beside him in tears, as Hearn delivered his fate. He was later led out of the courtroom by police. Sona’s lawyer, Norm Boxall, said his client would be transferred to an unspecified provincial jail. He said a decision has not yet been made whether to file an
appeal. “He’s obviously disappointed with the decision, but he’s strong,” Boxall said outside court. “He will be considering all of his options in the upcoming days, and those decisions are best made when persons can reflect calmly and logically and not do them in the emotional aftermath of a decision.” Boxall said Sona would likely consult with another lawyer to determine whether an appeal is appropriate. He could then seek a release from jail pending his appeal. Should he decide not to appeal, he could be eligible to apply for parole after three months, Boxall said. Sona is a youthful, firsttime offender, but that couldn’t be allowed to overshadow the seriousness of the case, Hearn said. Given his background, he presumably supported the right of people to a free and fair vote, he continued. “He took very active steps to see that this did not happen and the sentence must be such that the serious nature of this conduct is made apparent to those similarly inclined.”
Hearn said he did recognize that Sona had already suffered considerably, noting periods of stress and depression; he also said Sona had taken “rather drastic steps” to deal with those problems “in a very inappropriate manner.” Boxall refused to elaborate. Although the Crown and defence agreed he likely did not act alone, Sona was the only person charged in the scheme. He had been facing a maximum penalty of five years in jail and a $5,000 fine. Boxall had asked for a suspended sentence or a six-to-12-month conditional sentence with house arrest, parole and a requirement for community service. Ruth McGuirl of the Public Prosecution Service of Canada applauded Hearn’s sentence. “The trial judge sent out a message today that the type of conduct which interferes with the fundamental rights of voters warrants jail time,” McGuirl said. “It is (hoped) that this sentence will send a message which will deter anyone who would like to participate in any kind of similar conduct.”
Misconduct hearing underway for senior cop in G20 mass arrests THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A senior police officer who ordered the arrests of hundreds of people during Toronto’s G20 summit four years ago had no regard for their conduct or intentions, a prosecution lawyer told the officer’s disciplinary hearing on Wednesday. Supt. Dave (Mark) Fenton has pleaded not guilty to a total of five charges of unlawful arrest and discreditable conduct stemming from two “kettling” incidents that occurred over the summit weekend. The first took place on Saturday, June 26, 2010, hours after a small group of vandals smashed windows and set police cruisers alight. Fenton ordered officers to box in protesters in front of a downtown hotel. More than 260 people were arrested and taken to a makeshift prisoner processing centre, which came under severe criticism for its deplorable conditions. The second incident occurred the next day when, six min-
utes after coming on shift, Fenton ordered police to keep scores of people standing for hours at a downtown intersection despite a severe thunderstorm that left them drenched. “The order made in each case was, the evidence will show, indiscriminate,” prosecution lawyer Brendan van Niejenhuis told the hearing taking place at Toronto Police headquarters. “The composition of the crowd was mixed... some were passers by, others were curious onlookers who stopped to see what was going
on and some undoubtedly were protesters.” At the heart of the hearing, Van Niejenhuis argued, is one “ultimate question” that must be addressed by retired Ontario Superior court judge Peter Grossi, who is presiding over the proceedings. “Were the arrests lawful and necessary, and did they constitute conduct that would lower the esteem of the Toronto Police Service in the eyes of the public,” he said. Lawyers for some complainants - who were caught up in the mass detentions - also

addressed the hearing, arguing that Fenton’s actions were overly broad and led to the violation of people’s civil rights. “Normal bystanding citizens were kettled and detained without any plausible reason for doing so,” said Adrienne Lei, counsel for three complainants. “Our position is that it was an egregious abuse of power under the guise of public order policing. It was excessive, without any lawful authority and did not consider what actual circumstances on the

ground called for.” Fenton also repeatedly referred to the protesters as “terrorists” over the summit weekend, Lei added. “The policing model ordered by Fenton was designed, structured and implemented to violate the rights of citizens,” Lei argued. “These are the hallmarks of a fascist totalitarian regime. This is not Toronto.” Fenton’s defence lawyer, however, noted that it was important to remember the scope of the disciplinary hearing. “This is not a public inquiry,” Peter Brauti

said emphatically. “I have great concern that this hearing has

Report clear that we must clean up our act
I
t’s become a cliché to say that out of crisis comes opportunity. But there’s no denying that when faced with crises, we have choices. The opportunity depends on what we decide to do. What choices will we make when confronted with the fact that 2014 will likely be the hottest year on record? According to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, global land and sea temperatures up to September’s end tie this year with 1998 as the warmest since record keeping began in 1880. “If 2014 maintains this temperature departure from average for the remainder of the year, it will be the warmest year on record,” a NOAA statement says. The world’s warmest 10 years have all been since 1998, and last year carbon dioxide levels rose by the highest amount in 30 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fifth Assessment Synthesis Report, released November 2, summarizes three reports released over the past year on the physical science; impacts, adaptation and vulnerability;
and mitigation. It offers a stark choice: Unless we quickly curtail our fossil fuel dependence, we face “further warming and long-lasting changes in all components of the climate system, increasing the likelihood of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems.” As a broadcaster, I’ve interviewed hundreds of scientists over the years, but I’ve never heard so many speak so forcefully and urgently as climatologists today. It’s a measure of the seriousness of the crisis. What choices will we make? Will politicians close their eyes while fossil fuel industry executives shovel money at them and enlist propagandists to spread misinformation and lies? Will we listen to those who, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, continue to say the global warming they once claimed never existed stopped 18 years ago, or that human activity doesn’t contribute to climate change? Or will we heed scientists from around the world who offer evidence that we still have time to do something about this very real

crisis – and that confronting the challenge presents more opportunities than pitfalls? Believing our only choice is between a strong economy and a healthy environment is absurd. Yet that’s the false option many political leaders and fossil fuel industry proponents present. Never mind the insanity of thinking we can survive and be healthy if we destroy the natural systems on which we depend; research shows taking measured steps to address global warming would have few negative economic effects and would offer numerous benefits. Failing to act would be disastrous for the economy and environment. Energy conservation
and clean fuels offer the greatest opportunities. Conserving energy makes precious, non-renewable resources last longer, reduces pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, saves consumers money and offers many economic benefits. More than 100,000 Canadians are directly employed in improving energy efficiency, with total wages estimated at $8.27 billion for 2014. The fast-growing cleanenergy and clean-technology sectors offer similar benefits. Improved performance and cost reductions make large-scale deployment for many clean-energy technologies increasingly feasible. By focusing on fossil fuels, Canada is clearly missing out. Worldwide spending on clean energy last year was $207 billion. Canada spent $6.5 billion – a start, but we could do much better. Germany, the world’s fourth-largest economy, now gets a third of its energy from renewable sources, and has reduced carbon emissions 23 per cent from 1990 levels and created 370,000 jobs. In contrast, Canada sub-
sidizes the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $1.3 billion a year, despite a 2009 G20 agreement to phase out subsidies. The federal Environment and Sustainable Development Commissioner’s recent audit found Canada has no detailed plan to shrink carbon pollution and meet its international commitment, and has failed to release or enforce oil and gas sector emission regulations for our fastest-growing source of emissions, the oil sands, promised since 2006. Expanding oil sands and liquefied natural gas development will only make matters worse. People around the world want leadership from elected representatives on climate change and pollution. Business leaders are getting on board. Will we take advantage of the numerous benefits of energy conservation and clean energy or remain stuck in the old way of just blindly burning our way through? The choice is clear. Dr. David Suzuki is a scientist, broadcaster, author, and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation.

DYER
West, in Gorbachev’s view. In fact, he had a whole list of complaints about Western threats, crimes and betrayals. NATO broke its promise and let all the Eastern European countries that had been Soviet satellites during the Cold War join NATO. It let Kosovo declare its independence from Russia’s traditional friend, Serbia. It launched wars of “regime change” in the Middle East (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya) that Moscow disapproved of. It even planned a missile defence system that allegedly threatened Russia’s nuclear deterrent (if you could believe that it would work). Diddums. Yes, Russia has been invaded a lot in its history, but the license to be paranoid expires after fifty years. Of course the Eastern European countries all clamoured to join NATO; they’re still terrified of Russia. The Western great powers do lots of stupid stuff and some seriously bad stuff, and Russia has also done a fair amount of both in the past decade and a half under Putin. The job of diplomats, and of leaders in particular, is to avoid the really stupid and dangerous stuff, and keep the rest to a minimum. Barack Obama has been quite good at that, as has German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Putin used to be good at it, but is not so good now, perhaps because he has been in power too long. His military interventions in Ukraine have been alarmingly rash. But nobody is going to go to war with Russia over Ukraine. The Ukrainians were told years ago that they couldn’t shelter under NATO’s security blanket, and they have chosen to defy Moscow anyway. They may pay a high price for that, and the Western alliance’s relations with Russia may go into the deep freeze for the remainder of Putin’s reign. But it will be just a little local difficulty, not a huge event that defines an entire era. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.
More women on boards but still not enough: report THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A new study suggests that while number of women on the boards of top Canadian companies is improving, there still is ”significant work to be done.” The study by the Canadian Board Diversity Council shows women held 17.1 per cent of the positions on boards on the Financial Post 500 list. The organization says that was up from 15.6 per cent in
2013 and reflects a pace of change of more than four times the average between 2001 and 2012. However, the council says visible minorities and aboriginals on boards are at their lowest level since the survey began in 2010. It says visible minorities hold only two per cent of board seats, aboriginals hold just 0.8 per cent of the seats and people with disabilities fill 1.4 per cent.
The council is calling on corporate boards to consider three board-ready diverse candidates for each open board seat. It also asks boards to replace at least one of every three retiring directors with a director of a diverse background. “We’re making progress, with more women than ever before sitting on Canada’s corporate boards, but it’s simply not enough,” said CBDC founder Pamela Jeffery.

Connected cars, disconnected drivers
W
ith all the talk about distracted driving these days one would hope that drivers would start taking the hint and pay attention to their driving. How is the world going to deal with this epidemic? You guessed it. The bandaid approach. The band-aids are coming faster than you think. There have been many news items about the ultimate band-aid. The autonomous car (the car that drives itself). Those are many years away still. The current crop of more technically advanced vehicles will do their best to prevent you from doing something foolish while distracted. They are equipped with blind spot detec-
tion systems that prevent you from changing lanes when there is a vehicle beside you. They have cruise control systems that will maintain the distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you. They have antilock brake systems that give you some extra braking force when you are not pressing on the brake pedal hard enough. They have collision avoidance systems that will stop the vehicle when you are about to run over or run into something or someone. All of this technology is pretty amazing as it is. On the other hand these same vehicles are filled with options that seemingly were only put there to distract you.

Mechanically Speaking
In many cases the distraction is just figuring out how to get the interior temperature set just right and the air blowing at a tolerable speed. What used to be straightforward with buttons and knobs is now hidden with a graphical user interface. Your new car may even be an internet hub. At least then you could use Google and YouTube onboard to figure out how to operate it. It is lot faster than reading the owner’s bible. The next bandaid to be deployed is
probably coming by government decree. The buzzwords are “the connected car”. There will be two connections vehicleto-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I). The V2V connection allows vehicles to notify each other of their speed and location. The V2I connections allow the vehicle to connect with stoplights, construction signs, etc. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is running a pilot program in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This program is an ongoing experiment involving 2800 vehicles and 73 lane-miles in the northeast part of the city. Each vehicle is fitted with a dualband radio similar to a Wi-Fi transmitter. Relying on a GPS sensor, this radio sends and receives 10 location signals (or alerts and road info) per second.

Roadside waterproof transmitters attached to traffic light poles at curves and intersections gather information regarding highway conditions like road temperature, the current color of the crossing lights (red, green or yellow). A “connected car” approaching an intersection has a bunch of information to process. The test vehicles in this experiment have information displays for the driver. As the vehicle approaches an intersection a display indicates whether the vehicle will get through before the light turns red. The behaviour of any vehicles ahead is being transmitted as well. If the vehicle ahead has to slam on the brakes that info is passed on to the vehicle behind by flashing a panic-stop warning on the driver’s display. Upcoming dangerous curves will cause speed warnings to come up on the display. Moisture sensors embedded in roadways will broadcast alerts for icy conditions. Radar-scanning crosswalks will notify drivers of pedestrians. The possibilities are endless. At its basic level the driver will still be required to react to the information being presented. When the V2V and V2I information is able to be processed by the vehicles builtin safety systems the driver will start to be taken out of the picture. Your vehicle will reach a new level of artificial intelligence. Trail’s Ron Nutini is a licensed automotive technician and graduate of mechanical engineering from UBC. E-mail: nutechauto@ telus.net

ORV registration available to riders By Jim Bailey
Times Sports Editor
As of last Monday, off-road-vehicle (ORV) owners across B.C. have the option to register their vehicles with ICBC in an effort to increase responsibility, safety, and security for operators. The improved ORV registration scheme, for ATVs, dirt bikes, side-bysides, and snowmobiles, will require each ORV to have a visible number plate, and is intended to better assist police and conservation officers in identifying irresponsible riders, help track down stolen ORVs, and assist in search and rescue efforts in finding lost or injured riders. For Trail Wildlife Association president Terry Hanik ORV registration makes sense and will make his job as Fort Shepherd Conservancy warden a little easier, helping him to identify riders that drive erratically and/or damage sensitive habitat. “It’s a good idea, its the best thing that ever happened,” said Hanik. “It will be a lot safer now that its licensed . . . I have no problem with motor bikes and ATVs going down there, but if anyone steps out of line or say I’m not there the one day, if someone sees somebody doing something, instead of going to find a truck and where it came from, you can get the license number.” To allow for a smooth transition, the new registration system is currently voluntary but will become mandatory on June 1, 2015, with the combined cost of the plate and
one-time registration fee coming in at $48. While many consider it a step forward for ATV Clubs across B.C., others consider it yet another government cash grab. “Our members are half-and-half for this new request,” said Joya McIntyre, president of the West Kootenay ATV Club in an email. “Yes it is a one time fee, but some think, yes, a money grab. It is a good way to be able to track stolen machines but once they are gone, they are normally gone.” In the Kootenays, theft of motorcycles, ATVs, and snowmobiles is fairly widespread, so it is expected that a registered ORV will help the RCMP more readily identify or track stolen units. “Off-road vehicle registration will help combat vehicle theft as well as promote safe and environmentally responsible use of ORVs in B.C’s backcountry,” said Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations. The Quad Riders ATV Association of BC has lobbied for registration for a number of years until the provincial government passed the ORV Act on Mar. 24. “The Quad Riders ATV Association of BC fully supports the implementation of Bill 13 - the Off-Road Vehicle Act,” said Jeff Mohr, president of Quad Riders ATV Association, in a release. “As the Nov. 17 date is set to start the registration and licensing process, we can now increase

our focus on connecting the trail networks and increasing the opportunities for responsible riders to get out and enjoy the sport we love.” In addition, changes to the Motor Vehicle Act regulations will allow off-road vehicle operators greater access to highways, including the ability to: •Cross a highway without having to obtain an operation permit if the crossing is controlled by a stop sign or traffic light. •Cross a highway where local police authorize through an operation permit. • Load or unload in a parking lot without an operation permit. • Obtain an operation permit with an extended term of up to two years. B.C. is one of the last provinces to make licensing and registration mandatory, and the Off-Road Vehicle Act also gives officers the ability to stop, inspect and, where appropriate, seize ORVs for safety or evidence purposes. The maximum fine for offences has also increased from $500 to up to $5,000. Quick Facts: An estimated 200,000 off-road vehicles are used in the province. Snowmobiles have been registered in British Columbia since the 1970s. ORVs are used in a variety of sectors in British Columbia, including farming, ranching, forestry, oil and gas, mining, sport, tourism and transportation, as well as search and rescue.
By Times Staff Incredibly, the Selkirk College Saints failed to score a goal on the weekend, as the team dropped a pair of road games in BC Intercollegiate Hockey League action. The Saints were shutout by Trinity Western University on Friday 4-0 at the Langley Events Centre before falling to the Clan of Simon Fraser University 1-0 on Saturday in Burnaby. Trinity Western University goaltender Silas Matthys earned his first BCIHL shutout and the Spartans blanked Selkirk for the first time ever, as TWU moved into top spot with a 6-2-0-1 record, two points up on the Saints who sit tied for second with University of Victoria at 5-5-0-1. Matthys made 39 saves to earn the shutout win and was named the BCIHL Player of the Week for his efforts. The rivalry between SFU and Selkirk College is alive and well, and was on full display Saturday at Bill Copeland Arena. SFU took advantage of a quick turnaround and the return
of star forward Jono Ceci to make amends for their two defeats in Castlegar a week previously with a hard fought 1-0 victory. While Ceci returned, SFU was without leading scorer and former Trail Smoke Eater Nick Sandor and captain Tyler Mah and the Clan needed a few other members to step up, and take the lead against the Saints. Selkirk College fired 32 shots at Clan goalie Andrew Parent but could not beat the former Revelstoke Grizzly and Mike Sandor’s second period goal would be all SFU needed. The Clan worked the puck down low and fore-checked Selkirk’s defence hard, which allowed Tyler Basham to get the puck out in front to a wide-open Sandor, who beat Saints goalie James Prigione for the only tally of the night. Prigione leads all BCIHL goaltenders with a 2.30 goals-against-average and a .907 save percentage. Selkirk has the weekend off and will return to the ice Nov. 29 and 30 for a pair of games against U.Vic at the Castlegar Rec Complex.

Fines seals win
By Times contributor Team Fines took on Team Nichol in one of three intriguing match ups this past week in the Kootenay Savings Super League at the Trail Curling Arena. After a first end blank, the teams traded singles, then deuces to be all tied at three after five ends. Skip Ken Fines made an open hit and stick for two in the sixth, then took control of the game in the seventh, when skip Myron Nichol’s last rock came short for a Fines steal of three. Team Nichol started to take chances to garner a big end, but another steal of one for Fines sealed the game, and a 9-3 Fines win. Team Castlegar Hyundai and Team Umpherville had a similar close game early before Hyundai broke
it open with a big score. Hyundai, with third Rob Norbert skipping this week, scored in the first, second and fourth ends, while Skip Justin Umpherville kept his team close with beautiful come around taps for two in the third and fifth ends for a 5-4 Hyundai lead. Team Hyundai kept relentless pressure on the Junior Men’s squad, as Norbert drew for two in the sixth, stole a single in the seventh, then forced the Junior Men’s to shake hands with a huge steal of six in the eighth for a 14-4 drubbing. First place was on the line, as Team Ferguson battled Team Horning. Horning had won the first match-up, but this was Team Ferguson’s night. See FERGUSON Page 10

Retirees curl into second session BY TIMES CONTRIBUTOR The Trail Retirees began their second session this week with all new teams picked from a hat. Team Ernie Brown lined up against team Brett Rakuson in a field goal frenzy. Team Brown scored three in the first and third ends, while team Rakuson took three in the second and fourth end. Team Brown hung on in the eighth to secure the win. Team Clare Coleman faced team Harvey Handley in a one sided game. Team Handley had a num-
ber of picks, with hairs on the ice, that led to Coleman stealing six ends. In the ends it was team Coleman winning by a converted touchdown, 8-1. Team Murray Walsh pulled out to a 5-1 lead over team Serge Pasquali after five ends. Down but not out team Pasquali scored three in the sixth, and stole one in the seventh. All tied coming home it came down to the last rock for team Walsh, but it was not to be as Team Pasquali stole the win, 6-5. A strong start for team Primo Secco was followed by a stronger couple of ends by team
Dan Horan. Up 5-2 after four ends team Horan matched points and traded ends with team Secco to take the game 8-5. Te a m Jim Stewart’s lead, Renzo Francescato had perfect guard and draw weight all game against team Tom Hall. Riding an early lead and running the Hall side out of rocks in the eighth for a 7-5 win. Team Forest Drinnan played team Pat Fennel. Both sides were having draw weight issues, but team Drinnan was in better position in the end, make the final 72 after six ends.
Ferguson remains on top
FROM PAGE 9 They stormed out of the gate with two in the first, followed by third Brian Lemoel’s perfect hit and roll to set up a three ender and a 5-1 lead after four. Horning slowly started to claw his way back with deuces in the fifth and seventh ends, plus a steal of one in the eighth to tie the game at six. Looking to steal again in the
ninth, the end turned dramatically after Horning’s front end broomed his rock, giving way to an open Ferguson hit for three. Team Ferguson bent but didn’t break, as Horning couldn’t come up with the three to tie, and could only shake his head at what could have been, after Team Ferguson made an astounding nine double take-outs in the game to win 9-7.

Mom’s pressure is wearing girlfriend down Mailbox
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
my lady has been distant. She barely speaks to me, there is little affection, and lovemaking has entirely disappeared. I hate to think she has taken her mother’s advice and will end this relationship. Annie, I love her with all of my heart. What should I do? -Confused Dear Confused: The constant drip-dripdrip of criticism and pressure from Mom is wearing down your girlfriend’s ability to distinguish between what she wants and what Mom wants. Don’t hide what you know. Tell your girlfriend you overheard Mom saying to get rid
You can only imagine how he smells. He says he doesn’t notice it, but I gag when I’m near him. I have told him he needs to change the diaper more often and take daily showers. He’ll try for a bit, but then reverts back to his nasty ways. In the meantime, I can’t even get close enough to kiss him. What do I do? -- Missing It Dear Missing: It’s possible your husband wants you to keep your distance, and this is one way to ensure it. It’s also possible he is depressed about his current condition and has stopped caring about his hygiene. Suggest he speak to his doctor (or you can call his doctor’s office and leave a message explaining the problem). In the meantime, remind him gently when it’s time to shower and change. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Unforgiven,” who
unintentionally omitted her brother’s stepson from the family death notice when her mother died. I work for a newspaper. While I don’t know what the policy is for this family’s hometown, this occasionally happens in my area, and much
of the time there are hurt feelings. The remedy is simple. Rerun the obituary with the correct information. It would be a small price for family peace. -- Keeping the Peace Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy

of you. Let her know you love her dearly and don’t want to break up your home, especially since you have a young child who needs both of her parents. That relationship comes first. If Mom cannot deal with it, she is the one who should leave and hire a caregiver. Tell your lady we said so. Dear Annie: My husband used to hold my hand when we were out and would always give me little pats and rubs just to let me know he was still interested in me. But once he had prostate surgery, it was like someone flipped a switch. He immediately ceased all contact. I realize we can no longer have sex the way we used to, but we can still give each other pleasure. But here is the real problem: My husband is sometimes incontinent and must wear an adult diaper. I could live with this except that he doesn’t change it for several days at a time.

Dear Annie: My lady and I have been together for nine years, and we have a beautiful 7-year-old daughter. We have had our own two-bedroom apartment for five years. A year ago, her mother fell ill. We decided to move her in with us to take care of her and drive her to her doctors’ appointments. Mind you, we did this even though I know the mother doesn’t like me at all. Like any couple, we argue, but nothing too serious. The problem is, her mother gets in the middle of it and takes her daughter’s side. I can handle the fussing from my lady, but not her mother. It’s none of her business. Two weeks ago, I overheard the mother tell her daughter that one of us has to move out: her or me. Since we all know she can’t take care of herself, I took it as Mom telling her daughter to get rid of me. Since that day,
