A Montrose couple is breathing a sigh of relief now that their two beloved greyhounds are on the road to recovery after both pets became violently ill after eating Vitalife brand dog treats.
Shari Stoddart purchased a bag of Vitalife duck jerky wrapped sweet potato snacks for the two dogs from the Trail Walmart on June 4.
Within days of eating the Asian-produced treats, the gentle and affec-tionate greyhound brindles became lethargic followed by bouts of gastro-intestinal symptoms that progressed to loose stool tinged with mucous and blood.
“Their behaviour was changing and becoming lethargic,” said Shari. “I knew when they didn’t want to play anymore or go out for a walk, something was ter-ribly wrong.”
The morning of June 10, Shari’s
husband Tom was reading a news article while eating breakfast when he hap-pened to come across a recently posted story about dog treats and the harm these particular snacks were causing to pets in North America.
The information “clicked” said Shari, adding that he immediately opened up their pantry and on the shelf was the exact bag of Vitalife treats that was
reported to have caused 86 dog deaths in Canada and over 1,000 deaths of pets south of the border.
“I couldn’t wait for the vet’s office to open,” she explained. “When I called and told them the symptoms of my dogs and the only change in their diet was this Vitalife, she knew and said to get them in.”

Shari and Tom Stoddart’s regal greyhounds are on the mend after being sickened by eating Vitalife jerky treats the Montrose couple purchased from Walmart in early June. Quinn (front) and Syra are now eating a bland diet supplemented by probiotics and under the care of a veterinarian after suffering marked lethargy and gastrointestinal symptoms.
Trail Walmart has pulled all Vitalife jerky treats from its shelves, the store’s assistant manager told the Trail Times Wednesday morning.
“Walmart does carry them but we have pulled them off our shelves,” said Denise Smith. “We haven’t gotten official word from the company yet but we are not putting them on the shelves when they come in.”
Smith is aware of the media stories surrounding the jerky treats and said before the Trail Walmart can officially dispose of the product, word must come from head office.
“We are holding them in our claims area but we need an official recall before we can actually destroy what we have.”

Final exams for grades 10-12 are being writ-ten at the local high school this week despite the teachers being in full scale strike action.
Secondary principals and vice principals will invigilate Grade 10-12 provincial exams along with help from other schools’ principals, vice principals and district non-union staff, confirmed Greg Luterbach, superintendent for School District 20 (SD20).
For J.L. Crowe Secondary graduating stu-dents, Friday marks the last day they may have in the high school, once the provincial English 12 exam is written in the school’s gym that morning or Communications 12 in the afternoon.
At this point in the teachers’ strike, the only students that will receive a report card this sum-mer are the Grade 12s, every other grade will have to wait until the dispute is resolved or the issue is deemed an essential service.
“At this time, we have been informed by the teachers’ union that teachers will not be provid-ing the district any marks/grades/performance indicators for any grade lower than Grade 12,” noted Luterbach.
The matter requiring teachers to provide school final marks for lower grades may go in front of the Labour Relations Board to be deemed an essential service later this month, he added.
“End of year reporting for grades K-11 is still a significant unknown for districts across the province.”
The school district will provide a Grade 12 report card as teachers are required to have the school-based mark submitted to the SD20 office by June 20, as per the essential services order.
However, the timing of the local Grade 12 report card is still up in the air as management staff has to handle entering marks into the system to generate the report cards, Luterbach continued.
Once those marks are then sent to the Ministry of Education, the student’s final mark is a blend of the school mark (60 per cent in Grade 12 English) and the provincial exam mark.
The blended marks appear on a transcript which students can access and print via their Personal Education Number (PEN) on the min-istry’s website, explained Luterbach.
“One of the topics covered in the required Graduation Transition 12 course at JLC is how to submit a post-secondary institute form,” he continued.
“Which directs the ministry to send the tran-script, when ready, directly to a BC post-second-ary institutions at no cost.”
Exams going ahead at Crowe
Despite labour dispute, Grade 12 students will get report cards while other grades on hold

FROM PAGE 1Doctor Elaine Klemmensen
met the Stoddart’s in her West Kootenay Animal Clinic office shortly after the tele-phone conversation.
“She had such a distraught look on her face,” said Shari. “The first recorded instances were from 2007 but reports didn’t hit the media until 2011 and by that time over 1,000 deaths had occurred in the US and the link is Vitalife.”
In the case of the Stoddart’s two purebreeds, named Quinn and Syra, both dogs had been fed three treats per day for six days, although after three days both dogs started to show symptoms, noted the veterinarian.
“We ran blood work and urinalysis to screen for any damage to internal organs,” said Klemmensen. “And rule out Fanconi’s syndrome, a rare disease which has been associated with the consump-tion of these treats in some of the affected pets.”
Fortunately, both dogs were found to have normal test results but were treated for gastrointestinal upset with a bland diet and probiot-ics.
“Quinn and Syra are large breed dogs, the problem was detected early and the sus-pected treats discontinued,” Klemmensen said. “At this time both dogs are show-ing improved energy and are expected to recover with no long-term effects.”
The local story serves as a cautionary note for West Kootenay pet owners and adds to a growing list of North American media reports about the dangers of feeding pets jerky treats that are produced in China or Thailand and sold under the Vitalife brand.
“It is important to note that manufacturers do not need to list the country of origin for each ingredient,” explained Klemmensen. “So even products made in the U.S.A. may have ingredients imported from China or other countries that export to the U.S.A.”
Since 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has become aware of an increas-ing number of illnesses in pets associated with the con-sumption of jerky treats, she continued.
Although a toxic principle has not yet been identified, the regulating body is work-ing closely with the Centres for Disease Control to better understand what is making pets sick.
“It is hoped in the next six months the results of this study will be available to vet-erinarians and pet owners,” she added.
Usually, the first signs are similar to food poisoning, with symptoms progressing to kidney or urinary disease and in some cases, convul-sions, tremors, hives and skin irritation.
“These symptoms may occur within hours to days
of feeding the products,” said Klemmensen. “Pet owners who feed jerky treats should watch their pet closely for signs of illness. If your dog shows any of the signs and you suspect it may be related to a specific product, stop feeding the treat and con-sider contacting your veter-inarian.”
Additionally, she recom-mends pet owners save any remaining treats by placing the jerky product, including its original packaging, in a larger re-sealable bag in case it is need for future testing.
With quiet dignity, both Stoddart dogs were lapping up the attention from their owners Tuesday evening.
Syra, a female with deli-cate features, was rescued from a race track just over one year ago, and Quinn, the larger male and former racing dog, has only been in the Stoddart’s care for about a month following rescue from a Seattle shelter.
“The Vitalife company’s motto is ‘Made with Love,’” said Shari. “But we need to get the word out there to people who haven’t heard about this product. Don’t buy it or feed it to your pets.”

Wednesday was the first day of a three-day train-ing exercise for Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue.
The Columbia River set the scene for rescue train-ing and Regional Fire Chief Terry Martin says the train-ing is necessary for profes-sionals to maintain their skill level.
“It's something that
needs to be re-certified every couple of years,” he said. “Whether you are in the river or on a firetruck, you absolutely have to hone your skills and re-certify.”
The skills practiced dur-ing the training exercises come in handy too often.
“We go in the river, unfor-tunately, a few times a year to assist people and some-times body recovery,” said Martin. “We need to get in there and we need to be
good at our profession and we need to hone our skills.”
Even though the mem-bers of the Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue are trained profes-sionals, Martin says there is still risk involved during the training exercises.
“You have to look at the safety aspect of put-ting someone in the river, even for one of our mem-bers for the training side of things,” he said, adding that
although they only do formal rescue training every couple of years, they still like to stay familiar with the river even though some members may not need it.
“We've got some mem-bers in our department who grew up in the area and did a lot of fishing on the river over the years, so they know it very, very well. We will go in the river for orientation with the boat a couple of times a year.”

Residents of Kaslo and three rural areas of the Regional District of Central Kootenay may vote this fall on creating a conservation service.
The matter is on the board agenda Thursday, where directors will decide whether to seek approval through referendum or counterpeti-tion, and if the service will be paid for through a parcel tax or by property assessment.
“The service will raise funds that can be used for projects that do not receive funding from either local or senior levels of governments,” according to a staff report. The funds would “pro-vide local financial support for important pro-jects that will contribute to the conservation of valuable natural areas and restore and preserve a healthy environment.”
If approved, it would cost taxpayers in the affected areas — Kaslo, Area D (Rural Kaslo), Area A (East Shore), and Area E (Rural Nelson) — a combined total of $81,000 per year.
Although the regional district would be responsible for final approval of all matters, the Kootenay Conservation Program would adminis-ter the fund.
The group’s main goal is to increase private land conservation to protect species and land-scapes. They were involved with the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s purchase of the Darkwoods Forest on Kootenay Lake as well as the provincial government’s acquisition of the Valhalla Mile on Slocan Lake.
The regional district staff report doesn’t name any specific projects the conservation service might fund, but Kootenay Conservation Program manager Dave Hillary said a similar fund estab-lished in the Upper Columbia Valley in 2006 has paid for things like fencing, water quality mon-itoring, and invasive plant control.
In late 2012, the Kootenay Conservation Program hired a polling firm to conduct a tele-phone survey of 800 East and West Kootenay residents. It found 82 per cent of respondents supported the idea of a region-wide conservation fund, with 59 per cent in favour of a mandatory levy.

Northwest reaction to the federal government’s conditional approval of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipe-line is beginning to flow in, with north-west leaders and environmentalists say-ing that this is just the beginning of a long process which will likely end up in the country’s highest court.
“I don’t think this is any further ahead today than it was yesterday, I think the opposition will continue and it will end up in the courts,” said Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin of Tuesday’s announcement, which approved the proposed 1,177-kilometre twin heavy oil pipeline, subject to the 209 conditions imposed by last year’s federal review decision. He said the NDP will now focus on holding Premier Christy Clark to her word around the province’s five conditions.
“My job is to represent the people up here who are a huge majority opposed to this and to hold the BC Liberals to account,” he said. “Prior to the election, Christy Clark made it clear that she had five conditions, those five conditions are nowhere close to being met.”
The province has said the project doesn’t yet meet Premier Christy Clark’s five conditions for new heavy oil pipe-lines, which include world leading mar-ine and land spill protections, resolution of aboriginal concerns and a fair share of benefits for B.C. And Environment Minister Mary Polak has indicated the
province could refuse permits for the project’s construction in B.C.
Saying the decision is “no great sur-prise”, Austin said he believes this is “the beginning of the next chapter of the fight on this.”
He anticipates a long court battle between First Nations along the pipe-line’s route and the federal government.
“I suspect it’s going to be in court for a long time,” he said, adding he sees the fight heading to the Supreme Court of Canada. “I’m no constitutional lawyer, but if you look at the judicial rulings over the last five to 10 years in regards to First Nations’ rights and title, I sus-pect the First Nations lawyers will have a field day with this one. And we’ll fight it all the way.”
Area environmental group SkeenaWild director Greg Knox said his group stands with First Nations.
“Everybody’s saying the same thing, that they will support First Nations in legal action [and] that they’re willing to stand on the line,” he said.
“I think this is going to be a very long, drawn out process starting in the
courts and I don’t think it will ever be built.”
Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen echoed that sentiment in a conference call this afternoon.
“I truly believe this pipeline will never be built. I think the resolve and the passion of the people of the north-west will overcome it ... governments can grant permits, but only people can give permission,” he said.
The NDP would put aside the deci-sion if they form government following the 2015 election, he said.
“The shovels won’t be in the ground by then because the next step is court challenges,” he said. “This is likely going to the Supreme Court against First Nations who know their way around the Supreme Court,” he said. “I think it will go to the Supreme Court and will likely be shot down there.”
Northern Gateway project leader Janet Holder said she will continue to work to build on the 26 equity agree-ments the company has reached with aboriginal communities along the pro-posed pipeline route.
She said the project team will review the government’s decision and continue to work toward meeting the 209 condi-tions set out by the Joint Review Panel.
“Our team and I will continue trav-eling throughout British Columbia and continue speaking with people in their communities because today is just one step in a long process towards building a safer, better pipeline,” she said.

B y T y l e r O l s e nAbbotsford News
A clandestine video of animal abuse at a Chilliwack dairy farm could change the way dairy farms operate across the Fraser Valley and Canada. But one local farmer says those changes were already
in the works before the troubling video came to light.
The Abbotsford-based BC Milk Marketing Board (BCMMB) will be forced to destroy all milk from Chilliwack Cattle Sales, where employees were
recently surreptitious-ly filmed abusing cows.
Saputo, the largest buyer of milk produced in British Columbia, issued a press release Monday calling for “strict reform” from dairy producers and stating they would no longer accept any
milk that originates at the farm pending independent audits – this, after more than 90,000 people signed an online petition call-ing for a boycott.
Saputo oper-ates a cheese plant in Abbotsford, and distributes products
under the Dairyland label.
The BCMMB issued a statement Tuesday saying it was “con-cerned” with Saputo’s
decision to refuse milk from the Chilliwack dairy farm, but that it would have to cease delivery of the prod-ucts to the milk pro-cessor. With no other market, the board said it would be forced to destroy the milk.
Fraser Valley dairy farmer and BC Dairy Association (BCDA) board member Jeremy Wiebe said it’s dismay-ing to see the milk go to waste.
“As farmers, it’s painful to see animals being abused as they were,” he said. “But it also hurts to see good milk being dumped.”
Wiebe said that Saputo’s decision will see “thousands of litres” of milk destroyed. He was uncertain how such a large quantity of milk would be disposed of.
“The solution is not to dump the milk,” Wiebe said. “The solu-tion is to continue to work with the SPCA.”
In its release, Saputo said, “We will not accept milk from the BC Milk Marketing Board supplied by this farm until we are fully satisfied that strict ani-mal welfare practices are in place”
Wiebe said dairy farmers have no prob-lem with strict over-sight. He said Dairy Farmers of Canada was already developing a seven-point plan that would include regular inspections.
“Farmers are OK with that because we want to be able to prove that we take care of our animals,” he said.
Abbotsford’s 100-plus dairy farms ship about 142 million litres of milk annually, which is more than 21 per cent of B.C.’s total production.
“My job is to represent the people up here who are
a huge majority opposed to this and to hold the Bc
Liberals to account.”

B y P h i l M e l n y c h u KMaple Ridge News
Maple Ridge councillors want to ensure their taxpayers don’t pay for an unbalanced share of Pitt Meadows’ recreation services now and in the coming years.
The joint leisure services agreement is being reviewed, in which Maple Ridge pays for 80 per cent of the operating costs of shared facilities, such as the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre, while Pitt Meadows pays 20 per cent.
Coun. Cheryl Ashlie wanted to know if Maple Ridge’s contribution was appropriate.
“If we’re paying another quarter per cent of taxes to subsidize another community’s recreation, we need to know that.
“And we need to have that conversation.”Consultant Brian Johnston said the final
review will provide those numbers. And early analysis suggests that Maple Ridge isn’t sub-sidizing the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district, one of the partners.
When it comes to municipalities, both save between half a million and a million dol-lars a year from the agreement.
Both communities benefit, but Pitt Meadows likely saves the most, he added.
Under the current agreement, each muni-cipality pays the entire capital costs of facili-ties in their respective municipalities, while sharing the operating costs.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - The
Conservatives are pulling out all the stops in a bid to steal Scarborough-Agincourt away from the Liberals, includ-ing giving the Toronto riding’s former Liberal MP a starring role in their latest attack against Justin Trudeau and his plan to legalize marijuana.
The governing party has blanketed the riding with a flyer that features a photo of Jim Karygiannis and a quote from him: “This is not the same Liberal party we knew. The party has changed.”
The flyer attributes the quote to “your for-mer Liberal MP of 25 years” explaining why he decided to resign last April, triggering a byelection on June 30.
The flip side shows a photo of an unsavoury- looking Trudeau, sporting a goatee, superimposed on a picture of young boy lighting up a joint. Trudeau appears to be standing in a haze of smoke.
“Trudeau wants marijuana in local stores, just like alco-hol and cigarettes,”
the flyer claims.In fact, Trudeau
argues that legalizing, regulating and taxing pot would help keep it out of the hands of children and starve organized crime of its lucrative marijuana trade.
Microscopic print reveals that the flyer was “authorized by the registered agent of the Conservative Party of Canada.” But Karygiannis believes it was intended to appear as though it came from him.
“This is an all-time low for the Conservatives,” he said in an interview, calling the flyer a “very low and distasteful attack” that misrepresents him and his reason for leaving federal politics.
Karygiannis said he’s still a member of the Liberal party and has endorsed Arnold Chan, the Liberal can-didate in the riding. He’s been trying to stay out of the byelec-tion contest but said the Conservative flyer has “made me want to go vote for Arnold twice because of what they did.”
When he announced his resignation in
April, Karygiannis said he wanted to be closer to his family and that he intends to run for a spot on city council in this fall’s municipal election.
The quote used in the flyer comes from an interview Karygiannis gave the Globe and Mail some weeks later and had
nothing to do with Trudeau’s marijuana policy. He was reminis-cing about his reputa-tion as a bare-knuckle political organizer, particularly among ethnic communities, and bemoaning what he sees as the current tendency to eschew hardball tactics and take ethnic groups for
granted.S c a r b o r o u g h -
Agincourt is one of the most ethnically diverse ridings in the country and has been a Karygiannis fiefdom since 1988, although his margin of victory in the last election slipped to less than 5,000 votes ahead of the Conservative.
‘Distasteful’ attack by Tories in byelectionOntariO
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Conservatives are defending
their government’s approval of the contested Northern Gateway pipeline as based on sci-ence and evidence - while noting the project may never be built.
Government MPs and ministers were con-spicuously absent late Tuesday when the approval was announced in a bureaucratic news release - evidence, NDP and Liberal critics crowed, that they feared the coming backlash.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford struck a dispassionate tone on the project, emphasizing it had gone through a rigorous review process that includes 209 conditions.
“The fact of the matter is that the govern-ment is acting on the advice of an independ-ent scientific panel that thoroughly reviewed these matters,” Harper said.
But the science around the National Energy Board’s joint review panel has been criticized by outside voices, and rejected outright by the opposition who say it was politicized and shaped by the Conservatives.
Earlier this month, 300 scientists and scholars signed an open letter urging Harper to reject the review panel’s “flawed” findings, including its failure to consider the impact of greenhouse-gas emissions from Alberta’s oilsands.
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Only
four of Canada’s 521 severely wounded Canadian veterans might be eligible to receive up $10,000 per month in allowances and benefits under the Conservative govern-ment’s beefed-up vet-eran’s charter.
Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino recently cited the dol-lar figure to illustrate the Conservative gov-ernment’s generos-ity towards ex-service members.
“The seriously injured veteran is eli-gible for thousands of dollars each month, up to and including after age 65,” Fantino told the Commons veterans committee last month.
“In some cases, a veteran can receive over $10,000 a month in financial compensa-tion. This is in addition to two major tax-free award payments total-ling in excess of up to
a half-million dollars.”However, statistics
released by Fantino’s own department show payments of that size would be rare indeed - and maybe even purely theoretical.
The vast majority of the wounded -92 per cent - collect far less each month under the permanent impair-ment allowance, the permanent impair-ment supplement and the earnings loss bene-fit.
Also, according to the department, the calculation of the $10,000 figure includes the monthly Canadian Forces pen-sion, a payment that’s made whether a soldier was injured or not.
Calculating pre-cise amounts can be a head-spinning exer-cise, given the cross-section of benefits, sti-pends and supplement-ary payments available to all veterans.
Asked how many
wounded soldiers receive anything close to $10,000 per month, department officials would only say the figure represents a “scenario” of a severe-ly wounded major released after 27 years of service and that four soldiers receive the top tier of allowances.
They did not answer the question directly.
David Pierce, a spokesman for the minister, said Fantino stands by what he said.
“Minister Fantino accurately stated that a seriously injured veteran is eligible for thousands of dollars each month and in some cases, the vet-eran’s income may exceed $10,000 a month,” Pierce said in an email.
“Canadians and vet-erans need to know that the government of Canada provides a full suite of benefits available to injured veterans and their
families which con-sist of robust monthly payments; significant financial upfront bene-fits as well as rehabili-tation, educational and medical support to help transition to civil-ian life.”
But outspoken vet-erans advocate Sean Bruyea said the com-ment leaves the pub-lic with the impres-sion that ex-soldiers,
many of them who lost limbs, have somehow won the lottery.
“It’s an attempt to cast veterans as greedy and as whiners and complainers,” said Bruyea. “The thinking is they should have nothing to complain about and I really hope the public doesn’t accept this lie that veterans are getting $10,000 per month.”

OPINION
The ‘perfect’ pipeline that may never be builtIt comes as abso-
lutely no surprise to anyone that the federal government
approved construction of the contentious Northern Gateway pipeline, a vessel that would carry Alberta’s bitumen to hungry Asian markets.
These are the federal Conservatives, after all, who enjoy enduring popu-lar support in Alberta and Saskatchewan, where healthy resource indus-tries have almost single-handedly kept the nation-al economy afloat while central Canadian manu-facturing swoons.
Even so, approval was no cake-walk; it comes with a mind-boggling 209 conditions which, taken collectively, will make this the most regulated, environmentally-sensitive and safest industrial pro-ject ever undertaken in this country.
Now things get inter-esting. Because we are about to find out whether a massive capital project – one that is arguably vital to the long-term eco-nomic health of the coun-try, that has been poked and prodded and turned
inside out, that has won the carefully considered stamp of approval from the independent regulator – can be forced on a city and province that have said they don’t want it.
Think this approval was a whitewash? Let’s consid-er a few of the facts behind the decision.
On the question of whether the people of B.C. were consulted, there have been 17,000 encoun-ters with stakeholders and aboriginal groups, more than 400 community pres-entations; 80 open houses; 15 rounds of Community Advisory Board meetings and more.
Pipeline proponent Enbridge has commit-ted to maintaining the engagement post-approv-al, and will liaise con-stantly on environmental management and emer-gency preparedness.
On the regulator, Independent Joint Review Panel reviewed 175,000 pages of evidence; heard from 80 expert witness-es and 1,100 Canadians. There were 180 days of hearings in 21 commun-ities, resulting in the 209 conditions.
On environmental con-cerns, Northern Gateway has added $500 mil-lion in safety enhance-ments, including 20 per cent thicker steel for the pipe, additional isolation valves, and 24/7 staffing of remote pump stations. Nearly three-quarters of the pipeline’s route is on previously disturbed land. In terms of habi-tat, Northern Gateway will restore four hectares of caribou habitat for every hectare disturbed. Enbridge has committed to leaving habitat better than the way it found it. And, for the first time in Canadian history, the scope was increased to encompass marine trans-portation and includes
mitigation measures to minimize the impact on marine mammals.
There is more, much more, to what Enbridge has committed to do. And, if you want to accuse any-one of being disingenu-ous, how about the B.C. government, whose “five conditions” for approval have effectively been met, but it is still unsatisfied.
Nope, logic would tell you that this project has been examined like noth-ing in history. Will there be some disruption? Yes, there will.
But B.C., the major-ity of the Aboriginal com-munities, and the country will be better off with the pipeline than without.
Those are the words of the regulator, not just me.
And yet the resistance is stiffened. Why? Because this isn’t really about the pipeline at all. It’s about what the pipeline would carry – bitumen from Alberta’s “dirty” oil sands.
As Erin Flanagan, of the Pembina Institute, said in a statement condemning the approval: “Approving pipeline infrastructure that incents further oil sands expansion is not in
the public interest in the absence of credible regu-lations to curb the growth of carbon pollution from the sector.”
Couldn’t be clearer – the opposition wants to stop Northern Gateway because it’s a way to slow down the oil sands, not because the aboriginal communities don’t all agree with it or because Kitimat is worried about tankers in Douglas Channel.
Those are mere side-bars to the main story.
Which explains why Enbridge could prom-ise a new Eden, gilded with community and social benefits that would reshape the economy of central B.C. – wait! Isn’t that what it did? – and still it wouldn’t be enough to convince the anti-oil sands warriors to lay down their arms.
And so, we’re headed to the courts. And the block-ades.
The next couple of years will be a powerful test of wills.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - A job for life? It sounds like an
outdated notion, but a new report suggests job stability is as prevalent today as it ever was.
CIBC economists looking at the job stability phenomenon say their analysis shows it at an all time high, or at least at a record high since Statistics Canada started gathering the data in the 1970s.
The report from economists Benjamin Tal and Nick Exarhos finds the percentage of Canadians who have stayed with the same employer for five years and longer is now at a record level.
Extrapolating from the Statistics Canada data,
the economists say there is a 60 per cent chance that Canadians will stay with an employer after completing their first year, and a 95 per cent chance for those having five or more years with the same firm.
But it is not necessarily due to loyalty, Tal says. He believes it is more to do with fear.
For employers, they fear losing skilled and trained staff that they will find difficult to replace, and are willing to pay more to retain them.
For low-skilled workers, they see a larger than usual pool of unemployed and so are reluctant to leave the job they have.
U.S. President Barack Obama stood in the Rose Garden recently with the parents of
Bowe Bergdahl to celebrate the release of their son from Taliban captivity. What began as a triumph quickly soured, like warm milk in the sun. A few days later, in Normandy, Obama said “I make absolutely no apologies for making sure we get back a young man to his parents. . . . This is some-body’s child.”
No one asked for Obama to apologize for uniting parents and son. Bowe was indeed “ s o m e b o d y ’ s child,” but that is no more an element in mil-itary strategy than saying “we don’t leave soldiers behind” is a coherent plan to recover them.
Both sides of the exchange of Bergdahl for five Talibs are significant. Start with the fact that all five were on a list of 48 persons that Joint Task Force Guantanamo, which was picked and appointed by Obama, recommended be held “indefinitely.”
Now it’s okay to release them in Qatar, whose citizens have long funded jihadists throughout the region, but on what grounds? Supposing they asked for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the 9/11 attack? Would that have been okay, too?
As for Bergdahl, he left his base in uniform on June 30,
2009, with a backpack, water, knives, a compass, and a pen and notebook. He left his hel-met, body armour, web gear and weapon behind in a neat pile. By 2010 the Pentagon had concluded he had left his post voluntarily.
Shortly after his departure, the Americans received intel-ligence that Bergdahl stopped at a nearby village to ask dir-ections on how to find the
Taliban.O b v i o u s l y ,
he found them. When he was returned to mil-itary authorities he was wearing a new Afghan tunic and trousers. “We returned our valued guest to his people,” the Taliban spokes-person said,
“and in return they freed our five heroes.” Meanwhile, the five heroes, some of whom were eligible for trial as war criminals, were enjoying a Qatari feast of goats cooked in rice.
The handover of Bergdahl was videoed and promptly went viral. It was another “big win” for the Taliban, said David Sedney, until recent-ly U.S. Defense Department point man in Central Asia. Taliban leader Mullah Omar agreed: the deal was a “great victory.”
When American journalists interviewed Bergdahl’s former comrades-in-arms, the cele-bration in the Rose Garden looked even more premature.
Jake Clapper of CNN
reported the widespread view that he was a deserter. He did not “lag behind on patrol,” as Bergdahl said in a video released shortly after his capture. “There was no patrol that night,” said one. “He deserted.” Specialist Cody Full, who was in Bergdahl’s platoon, said “we swore an oath and we upheld ours. He did not.”
The Obama administra-tion responded by deploying National Security Advisor Susan Rice who declared Bergdahl to be “an American prisoner of war, taken on the battlefield” who “served the United States with honour and distinction.”
Later she said she meant it was honourable of Bergdahl to have enlisted. Later still, he was just “innocent until proven guilty.”
So, who you gonna believe, the grunts or the pols?
When polls show no more than 30 per cent of Americans think the exchange was “the right thing to do,” the ques-tion answers itself. When more Americans think George W. Bush was more competent than Obama, more than the usual second-term unravel-ling of presidential authority is involved.
As for the rest of the world, including Canada, this latest behaviour by the Obama administration provides more evidence that sanctimonious risk-aversion does not con-stitute leadership. The mid-term elections next fall should prove interesting.

OBITUARIES
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SREGINA - Bruce Robinson
has spent the last 20 years approaching random stran-gers in Regina and offering them $1,000 to quit smok-ing.
When Joel Pinel first heard of the challenge, he was skeptical: “I thought, `This guy’s lost it.”’
But after meeting Robinson in person, Pinel changed his mind. Despite challenging about 1,000 people over the past two dec-ades, only six people have completed Robinson’s quit-smoking challenge.
That means he’s only given away $6,000, despite
offering about $1 million.It’s a number that proves
just how difficult it is to quit, said Robinson, who owns a landscaping company.
He also said it shows how important it is to prevent people from starting smok-ing, before they’re hooked.
“It’s not a habit. It’s an addiction,” said Robinson.
Now, the two men are working together to try and create a documentary dedi-cated to smoking preven-tion.
The documentary, titled “1,000 Excuses to Quit,” will follow Robinson and the people to whom he offers $1,000 to give up smoking for a year. It will include interviews with people who couldn’t complete the chal-lenge, as well as success stories.
“Our goal is to get (the film) to the young people and
show them how addictive smoking is,” said Robinson.
Pinel and Robinson have started an online Kickstarter campaign to try and raise $45,000 for production costs. So far, a week into the 30-day campaign, they’ve raised just under $2,000.
But Pinel said momen-tum is growing and that they expect the donations to pick up over the next three weeks. They hope to begin filming this summer.
Robinson has been think-ing of doing a documen-tary for years, he said, but when a close friend died of a smoking-related stroke in November, he felt that he had to take action. After meeting Robinson, Pinel agreed to be the film’s pro-ducer.
Both men say they’re motivated by how smoking-related health problems
have affected their friends and family.
Pinel said it took a heart attack to convince his fath-er to quit smoking, and he hopes the film will provide a wake-up call strong enough that audience members won’t need similar health scares to show them how harmful smoking can be.
In addition to his friend’s death, Robinson’s father was 57 when he died of a heart attack. It was that tragedy that inspired Robinson’s crusade against cigarettes. When his father was young, said Robinson, smoking was more acceptable.
But if his father was alive today, Robinson thinks he would be supportive of his son’s anti-smoking cam-paign.
“I think he’d probably be pretty proud of me,” said Robinson.
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SCALGARY - A Canadian cowboy can truly call
himself a long rider as he has reached his des-tination country in an epic horseback journey to Brazil from Calgary.
Filipe Masetti Leite, 27, who immigrated to Canada from the South American country when he was a teenager, rode out of the Calgary Stampede grounds in July 2012 along with his two horses, Bruiser and Frenchie. He added a third horse to his team, Dude, from a ranch in New Mexico.
Leite says his ride took him through 10 coun-tries and covered 14,000 kilometres in North, Central and South America.
“Setting out from Canada’s largest rodeo and one of the best in the world was a huge honour,”
he said in an email.“I feel like I’m
dreaming,” he wrote as he crossed the border from Puerto Kijaro, Bolivia, into Corumba, Brazil.
Leite said he and his horses crossed Y e l l o w s t o n e National Park,
encountered a grizzly in Montana and rode through the Chihuahua Desert in Mexico.
“This has been the hardest but most gratifying years of my life,” Leite said.
“I hope my journey inspires others to follow their dreams, no matter how hard or crazy it may seem.”
Leite’s family returned to Sao Paolo, Brazil, nine years ago and is to meet him at the end of his journey.
The inspiration for the trip was a similar quest in 1925 by Aime Tschiffely, a Swiss school teacher who rode 16,000 kilometres alone from Buenos Aires to New York City.
The young cowboy, who has a journalism degree from Ryerson University in Toronto, has been documenting his travels.
His goal was to draw attention to the illegal drug war in Latin America. He said a lot of innocent people are dying and 80 per cent of the drugs are ending up on U.S. streets.
He may have reached Brazil, but Leite’s trek isn’t quite over. He still has 2,000 kilometres remaining to his home in Sao Paulo.
The timing of the trip sits well with him.“I love soccer and left in 2012 from Canada
just so I could arrive in Brazil for the World Cup.”

FILIPE LEITE
In two decades only six people have
completed the quit-smoking challenge
Filipe Leite left Calgary in July 2012
Regular fuel is closing in on $1.50 per litre. For me that
number seems to be a breaking point. I am really looking forward to riding my bike to work. School is out soon (maybe even sooner) and my kid driving respon-sibilities are nearly over. I would be even more excited if the weather was a little less unpredictable.
Most automobile manufacturers are touting their vehicles’ fuel economy advance-ments and many Canadians are biting. Canadian auto sales are at an all time high. If the current trend continues, 2014 will be a record year. What are Canadians buying? We are sticking with trucks and suvs. Not small economy cars. Maybe small trucks and SUVs?
Truck technology is on the move as manu-factures fight for brag-ging rights. Who will be the fuel economy leader? All the manu-facturers are tout-ing their available V6 engines. Dodge or Ram even has a small diesel available in a half ton. Sales of these smaller engine full size trucks are becoming signifi-cant. Many times six cylinder engines were offered but nobody bought them.
Ford was first in with a V6 that every-one wanted. The turbo-charged Ecoboost V6
promised and deliv-ered more horsepower than the V8. The jury is out on fuel econ-omy though. To get the good fuel economy of a smaller displacement
turbocharged vehicle you have to drive carefully. The whoosh of turbocharged power is a d d i c t i v e . Believe me, I know.
Ram was next to try a V8 upset.
A very high technol-ogy small 3.6 litre V6 was made available in a half ton with an 8 speed automatic. Many gear ratios means a small engine can be tuned for lots of horse-power at a bit higher rpm. All these gears allow decent accel-eration when needed and relaxed econom-ical cruising. It seems owners of these vehi-cles are getting sig-nificantly better mile-age than the Hemi V8s.
For 2014 the General (GMC, Chevy) has stepped into the fray with a 4.3 litre V6. This is not your old 4.3. The new EcoTec3 has all the technology of the new V8s (continu-ous variable valve tim-ing, cylinder deactiva-tion, and direct fuel injection). This engine is already being sold in 20% of the half tons. It produces nearly 300 horsepower compared to the previous ver-sion’s 200 horsepower. It also produces sig-nificantly better fuel economy numbers.
Not to be outdone
in the fuel sipping full size half ton truck wars Toyota has its 4.0 litre Tundra for 2014 and Ram now has a 3.0 litre diesel. I am sure the little diesel will become the engine of choice for fuel econ-omy bragging rights.
What’s next? Ford is
removing 700 pounds from their trucks by using aluminum body panels in place of steel. We mechanics can rest. The body shop guys are going to need some fresh training for aluminum repairs.
In any case replacing your V8 truck or SUV
with one of these V6 gas models will net you about one litre per 100 kilometre improve-ment. A small diesel will get you more.
On the other hand if you are not in the mar-ket for a new vehicle you can probably make the same efficiency
gains with some ten-der loving care to your current workhorse. Check your tire pres-sures. If your check engine light is on it is time to determine the cause. You might not think your vehicle needs a tune up but it probably does. Replace
that underbody piece of plastic you tore off during the winter. These pieces allow your vehicle to slip through the air more efficiently.
In the end though if you want to really save fuel, park your truck and ride your bike.

The Mad Trapper Archery Shoot is notch-ing an arrow and taking aim at another great cause June 28-29 at the Secret Creek Ranch in Waneta with proceeds going to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital Critical Care Campaign.
The shoot is now in it’s 10th year and has donated over $21,000 to various charities over the years, including the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters Burn Unit, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Trail Hospice, the Defibrillator Fund at Trail Parks and Rec, and Sanctuary House in Trail.
This year the monies collected through its annual raffle and Mad Trapper Shoot go to the KBRH campaign that is raising funds to expand and upgrade equip-ment in the Intensive Care Unit, Emergency Room, and for the High Acuity Response Team.
“We sell 2,000 tick-ets around the com-munity and we have some great prizes. This year we have over $10,000 worth of prizes including a trip to Vegas,” said Mad Trapper organizer and Secret Creek owner Jay Mykietyn.
The Mad Trapper Shoot has recruited a number of local sponsors and volun-teers to help aid in the fun family event that begins shooting Saturday morning and winds up on Sunday.
Archers will shoot at 20 stations with up to 50 3-D targets over the wilderness course that utilizes all of the ranch’s 18 acres includ-ing a small pond with a flat-bottomed boat that must be paddled to an area where the archer takes dead aim at a 3-D alligator.
“We try to promote it as a fun shoot, but
we get some of the top shooters in the province in past years that have come and attended and shot our course, and they’ve made comments that it is one of the tough-est courses they’ve ever shot,” said Mykietyn.
While the course is challenging, a healthy crew of volunteers met on Tuesday to clear brush and set up the course. This year the course design is intended to be more friendly for families, says Mykietyn, while maintaining it’s integ-rity with various levels of difficulty.
“It’s a very family orientated sport and becoming more and more popular every year. In the last four years there is all kinds of people who have never shot before that
are right into it.”Kevin Koyanagi was
drawn into the sport last year after his son Eric started shoot-ing with a friend. His nine-year-old daugh-ter Emily soon joined them, and earlier this month they com-peted in a shoot in Cranbrook.
“It’s a great way to spend time together and do something you all enjoy that is chal-lenging but most of all fun,” said Koyanagi.
The event is high-lighted by its Saturday night barbecue and entertainment with even more raffle prizes drawn throughout the sociable evening.
The Mad Trappers invite residents to share in the event by coming out and sup-porting the KBRH campaign through the
various prize draws, and to enjoy a hearty and healthy meal.
“It’s open to the public,” says Mykietyn. “Anybody can come support us for break-fast, lunch, or din-ner on Saturday, and breakfast and lunch on Sunday.”
The shoot starts at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday with a staggered start beginning at 9 a.m. Sunday. Various class-es include Men’s and Ladies Bowhunter, Traditional, and Crossbow, Ladies Unlimited, and Men’s Freestyle and Unlimited as well as Cubs and Mini-Cub classes. Sturdy foot-wear, gloves, and long pants are recom-mended.
For adults, the cost for the weekend shoot is $35, youth 13-17 is
$20, for cubs ages 9-12 and mini-cubs up to eight years is $10 and $5 respectively. There is also a family rate, and archers can also sign up for a one-day shoot.
To participate in the Mad Trapper Shoot, or reserve a steak at the barbecue dinner, or for more info call Jay at 368-5619.
Tickets for the Mad Trappers annual draw can be purchased at Canadian Tire, Jim’s Joint, Integra Tire or the Trail Fire Department. The draw will be made on Sunday after the awards pres-entation.
Secret Creek Ranch is located behind the Wanteta Mall. Turn onto Devito Drive, past Rosewood Village and follow the signs to the ranch.

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary and Trail Gymnastic club honoured former coach Chris Buccini with a new and fitting addition to the gym at the Greater Trail Community Centre (GTCC).
After more than 50 years of accumulating rib-bons, medals, trophies, and plaques, the club, with the assistance of RDKB director Mark Daines and the fine workmanship of Dan Vancougnett, finally has a place to showcase its awards.
“The building was painted last summer and Dan built a beautiful trophy case for us to display our wares from competitions dating back into the 80’s when Chris Buccini was building up the club,” said Trail coach Nicola Marynowski.
Buccini passed away suddenly last year after celebrating 50 years of Trail Gymnastics, and the gym at the GTCC was renamed in his honour. His legacy continues to inspire young athletes, with the club now counting over 400 members this year that will undoubtedly add to the collection.
“He would be very proud to see his past gym-nasts’ honoured with their awards displayed in this fitting manner,” added Marynowski.
The Trail Gymnastics Club is also offering six weeks of summer camps starting July 7.

Nemeth scored his first goal of the playoffs in overtime as the Texas Stars beat the St. John’s IceCaps 4-3 on Tuesday to win the American Hockey League’s Calder Cup.
Nemeth deked inside and out heading into the slot before firing home the winning wrist shot top shelf 14:30 into extra time.
Texas dominated the series, tak-ing the minor hockey league’s title
in five games.Mike Hedden had two goals and
Brett Ritchie also scored for Texas in regulation time.
Blair Riley, Jordan Hill and Josh Lunden supplied the offence for St. John’s.
Michael Hutchinson saved 41 for the IceCaps, while Christopher Nilstrop turned aside 33 for the Stars.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SRIO DE JANEIRO,
Brazil - The king is dead. The World Cup will have a new cham-pion.
Just like France in 2002 and Italy in 2010, defending cham-pion Spain is going home tail between its legs after losing 2-0 to Chile Wednesday.
Chile and the Netherlands, the other winner Wednesday, look like good pros-pects to take the throne.
The Netherlands made the Spanish look vulnerable and Chile delivered the mortal blow to an uninter-rupted 6-year era of dominance for the European and world champions whose daz-zling footballers ran out of puff in Brazil.
Fevered Chilean supporters rocked the Maracana Stadium with chants of “Chile, we love you!” They will be able to recount how they saw their team put two goals without reply past one of the greatest teams global football has ever seen.
Demolishing Spain 5-1 last week showed the Dutch can be spectacular. Toughing out a come-from-behind 3-2 victory against Australia on Wednesday showed them to also be resili-ent and cool under pressure - vital qual-ities for the knockout rounds that start June 28.
With no points from its first two games, Spain will play only for pride when it meets Australia in their last Group B match Monday.

Dear Annie: I am 13, and my parents are divorced. I moved in with my father eight months ago, but soon realized that Dad is an alcoholic. We lived in a nice apartment for a while, and he seemed to be doing well, but I had no idea how addicted he was until the landlord evicted us. I moved in with my aunt and will have to move back in with my mother soon.
Dad is not my bio-logical father, but he raised me. He’s the only father I’ve known. But I think he’s trying to buy my love. He never leaves me alone and is always telling me how much better things will be. But he’s lying to my face. I happen to know that when he tells me he’s at work, he’s drink-ing at a bar.
I don’t want to dis-cuss it with him. If he wants to be in my life, he has to quit drinking. Otherwise, I’m done with him. Am I wrong? -- Nevada
Dear Nevada: Please understand that giv-ing up alcohol is not an easy thing for your father. We are certain he is struggling with it. Nonetheless, you should not be liv-ing with him until he can provide a stable, healthy home environ-ment. Please look into Alateen (al-anon.ala-teen.org) for kids whose parents have alcohol problems. Alateen will provide information, as well as support.
Dear Annie: I sent my children to a Christian school so they could get a quality education along with faith and good values. Sadly, it hasn’t been the experience I was wish-
ing for. This school has more bullying than a public school.
Bullying is not just saying horrible things to each other or hit-ting. It also is being left out and not feel-ing welcome. Kids at this school who are not sports stars or whose families don’t have money are outsiders. The saddest part is that it is not only the stu-dents. There are also parents who refuse to acknowledge the less well-off parents at school events.
Many children have transferred out of this school because of the bullying. I was taught that you treat others how you want to be treated. Each child is an individual and should be respected as such. I am sure other parents have these same concerns, but no one speaks up. I ask that all parents set a good example for their children and pay atten-tion to what they may or may not be doing.
Is your child being a bully? Are you teaching them to judge others by what they look like or how much money they have? Is this your school? -- Sad Parent in Nebraska
Dear Nebraska: No school comes with a guarantee that the behavior of the par-ents and children will be exemplary. Bullying occurs everywhere. It is important that you teach your child how to deal with intimidating behavior from others and that school admin-istrators and teachers are aware of the prob-lem so they can address it. Ultimately, parents must do what is best for their children, and sometimes that means moving them to a dif-ferent school where they can prosper.
Dear Annie: This is for “Hurting Daughter-in-Law,” whose in-laws never liked her and have cut off the grand-children.
I married my hus-band 54 years ago.
His parents were not happy and let me know it. My husband said to ignore it, and I tried, but they undermined me, blatantly favored his sister’s children and worked to destroy our marriage. After his parents died, my hus-band finally admitted
that they had kept up an unrelenting stream of criticism about me, hoping we’d divorce.
One of my kids is completely alien-ated from me because of her grandparents’ subtle inferences that I “treated her different-ly” from her siblings.
She was my gentle, insecure baby, and they destroyed her trust. -- Wish I Had Left

Alcoholism is a hard thing to leave behind
Leisure
For Friday, June, 20 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be careful, because today will unfold in a surpris-ing ways -- certainly not as planned. For starters, dif-ficulties with partners and close friends might arise. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Think twice before you lash out at others today. Keep your cool. This rest-less feeling you have might explode by the evening. Chill out. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Disputes with others, especially in groups, are likely today. If you trigger something, it could snow-ball until a real argument breaks out in evening. Do you really want this? CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Quarrels with parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police might take place today. This will not benefit you. In fact, it could lead to
a nasty surprise late in the day. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day, so slow down and take it easy. Pay atten-tion to everything you say and do. Travel plans will be changed, canceled or rescheduled. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Money disputes might escalate until something nasty happens this evening. You can avoid this by side-stepping these arguments. Stay in touch with details about shared property. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Arguments with close friends and partners might arise today. If you take the bait, you might be in for a real surprise this evening. It’s far better to avoid all of this. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your work routine will be interrupted late in the
day because of computer crashes, power outages, staff shortages and delays in general. This is an acci-dent-prone day, so be care-ful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Parents should be vigi-lant about their children, especially this evening, because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Remove them from hazard-ous situations. Be aware.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Small appliances might break down today, or minor breakages could occur. Definitely, your home rou-tine will change today and this evening. Be ready. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an accident-prone day for your sign, so slow down and take it easy. Be aware of everything around you. Think before you speak
or act. Forewarned is fore-armed. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Keep an eye on your money and possessions today, espe-cially this evening. Guard your possessions against loss or theft. If shopping, keep your receipts and count your change. YOU BORN TODAY You have great charisma, which allows you to rally the troops to your cause. Because you
are emotional about your beliefs, you are persuasive. You also are strongly loyal to friends and family. Your year ahead is pleasant, full of opportunities for growth. It will be a social year in which all your relationships will improve. Consolidate your affairs for future growth (in about two years). Birthdate of: Anne Murray, singer; Lillian Hellman, playwright; Martin Landau, actor.
