The Smokies travel to Vernon tonight to kick off the year against the Vipers. Saturday night, Trail and Vernon meet again for the Smokies home opener starting at 7:30 p.m. For complete schedule and player pictures see our special insert on pages 10 and 11.

SMOKIES SET TO START SEASON

B Y S H E R I R E G N I E RTimes Staff

Commuters travelling over the Trail bridge may want to leave home a little earlier for the next month or so.

Traffic over the Victoria Street Bridge will be single-lane only beginning Monday when Emcon Services begin extensive repairs to the super-structure.

Eastbound lanes will be closed to vehicles and pedestrians for the first leg of the labour inten-sive job, with crews on site six days a week.

“We will have the lanes barricaded with con-crete guardrails, lights and signage, to make sure it stays closed,” explained Mike Prystae, Emcon's bridge area manager. “Because when we start hammering out the joints, there will be substan-tial gaps.”

The project, a collaboration between Emcon and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, was pushed up the priority list this year. Problems with the bridge's butterfly seal system have been ongoing after years of road grit and heavy trucks caused a hydraulic effect that actually pushes the seals out of their keep-ers, Prystae explained.

“It's been on the books for a bit,” he said. “There's water leaking through that does affect the bearings under the bridge. Everything under-neath would be great if nothing leaked from the top. So we need to fix that before we touch any-thing on the bottom.”

Ten joint armours will be excavated and replaced over the two bridge spans, new seals installed and concrete re-poured.

“Once we finish the east side, we will switch lane closure to the other side,” Prystae reiterated. “The work is necessary for the preservation of the bridge bearings and it components. We plan to work six days a week and a longer work day to help prevent more delays to traffic.”

The company has recruited extra manpower to Trail so the project can meet its Oct. 16 end date.

“We have crews coming down from Quesnel,” said Prystae. “Normally just to do a half lane it takes four guys on both sides, hammering, cut-ting steal and pouring concrete.

“That's four days in itself. We are hoping to get a whole two lanes and one armor done in five days. “And with two crews, maybe two armors a week. It's a high expectation but that's what we are shooting for.”

Project updates will be posted on DriveBC, and schools, the ambulance service and police have been notified.

Bridge repairs begin Monday;

eastbound lanes will be closed

“Holy moly, those tomatoes,” says Columbia View Lodge resident Mike McGill, as a recreation therapist inches his wheelchair closer to his sanctuary.

Margot Wright pushes McGill out into the yard so he can tend to his vege-table garden.

The planter has been raised and hose repositioned for his strong left hand, which he relies on only these days. The residential care facility in Trail adapted its edible green space to fit McGill's needs. According to his chart, he is 72 years old and has lived at the facility for one year after a stroke resulted in the need for more care.

When McGill arrived his daughter and wife said he loved gardening and he virtually took over the care of the com-munity garden. Lettuce, tomatoes, and herbs grow rampant in the raised bed and round planters. The produce culti-vated is ready for harvesting now as the end of growing season nears.

“I had a garden and twice as big as this thing here,” he says with a grin. “And why not, hey? That is good.”

McGill picks a heap of lettuce to share some with the kitchen in his neighbour-hood, before offering up the rest to the main kitchen to be incorporated into meals.

“We also have a whatchamacallit it,” McGill points to some greens while he searches for the words.

He struggles with aphasia, a com-munication disorder that results from damage or injury to language parts of the brain.

“I've got it but I haven't got it,” he continues. “I mean, over to this side is good,” he traces his good hand across the left side of his face, “and the other side, not so good.”

His condition is common for someone who's had a stroke, which occurs when a clogged or burst artery interrupts blood flow to the brain. This interruption deprives the brain of needed oxygen and causes the affected brain cells to die, in which case the functioning of the body parts that they control is impaired or lost.

But McGill doesn't dwell on what limitations he has. The happy-go-lucky guy has always made the most of life, says Wright, who adds that the garden rejuvenates him, brings a smile to his face and gives him purpose.

“It's fodder for conversation for us and a game of charades at times,” she laughs.

Wright likes to tease McGill. She'll knock on his window from the courtyard and pretend to pluck the produce ripe for the picking.

“Gardening is something they've always done,” she says. “It brings back memories and it's really good exercise for Mike.”

Tending to the community garden is not only physical but an emotional, social and a cognitive exercise. The pro-cess of feeding the plants, checking the soil and picking the fruit of his labour keeps McGill busy.

Columbia View Lodge uses rec-reational activities like this to assist residents in dealing with lifestyle con-straints to ultimately encourage them to grow towards their highest level of health. The facility provides activities that “maintains the present, rejuvenates the past and promotes the learning of new leisure skills and interests,” accord-ing to Wright.

“We maintain contact with the com-munity in which they live through com-munity outings or in-house community programs,” she adds. “In a nutshell, activities are aimed at enhancing each resident’s quality of life as per their health and wellness needs and leisure interests.”

Activities include familiar life skill tasks like sweeping, chopping, clear-ing the table, baking and cooking. But it's not all work and no play. Residents enjoy Bingo, crib and other card games,

Yahtzee, bean bag toss, hallway poker, group giant crosswords and word searches.

They get in touch with their artis-tic side, sometimes for the first time, through crafts, colouring and painting or the creation of decorations for the facility.

Social gatherings like tea parties, fea-turing goodies by the Italo Canadese and the Sisters of Columbo, can regularly be found. Musical entertainment, music therapy, trivia and conversations about the “good old days” and current events are commonly shared around the table.

Physical fitness is maintained through pastimes like gardening, of course, out-door walks and ballroom dancing.

“He does dance with me on ballroom night,” Wright shares. “He's got that one arm and he spins me.”

The room is filled with laughter as the two show how its done.

The garden can be seen perfectly from McGill's room and though it's not as big as one he kept during healthier times, the man beams with pride.

“What the heck,” he says. “It's good. No problem whatsoever.”

Columbia View Lodge resident Mike McGill still finds a way to be passionate about gardening. Though the 72-year-old has limitations since suffering from a stroke, he cares for the community garden in his neighbourhood at the residential care facility in Trail.

You're in a car and someone is driving 140 kilometres an hour, how do you handle this situation?

This is an example of a scenario pre-teens are asked to access when visited by Const. Sherri Karn of the Trail and Greater District Detachment.

She is the voice behind the local D.A.R.E. program that has trans-formed from the outdated Drug Abuse Resistance Education presentation into the “improved” Define, Access, Respond and Evaluate message.

She's gearing up to talk to grades 5 and 6 students in Greater Trail, a task she's done in the Trail area for three years but altogether since 2005.

“I think that this new program really does set them up for having a little bit more confidence of how to handle themselves in risky situa-tions,” she explained. “I would love to think that the program gives them this great stepping stone of ground-breaking information but I really think that if nothing else, for them to have that first positive interaction with police makes it worthwhile.”

Despite being the nation's most popular substance-abuse prevention program, D.A.R.E.’s website explains that the old motto shared from 1983 to 2009 was proven time and again by scientists that it didn't work. It's noted that the old approach didn't make one less likely to become a drug addict or even to refuse that first beer.

The new focus centres around a “keepin' it real” substance-abuse cur-riculum that replaces drug-fact laden lectures with interactive lessons that help kids make smart decisions.

“I actually use this in my police life,” said Karn.

“It's a very similar model that we use when making risky decisions. Like how to weigh the pros and cons when you're in a situation: What do you do? What's the best decision? And then you reflect on it.”

Last year, she spoke to nearly 200 students for an hour weekly dur-ing the 10-week program. She still touched on the popular topics of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, but her focus broadened with some content on violence, vandalism and bullying.

“Cyber bullying is huge,” she added. “We probably have reports of it in each and every school in the

district from high school down to elementary school. It's probably the No. 1 form of bullying right now.”

The Internet is instant, accessible and imbedded. Youth need to know that what they do online is never really lost, that it can still get them in trouble and really hurt someone, too.

Cyber bullying was so popular dur-ing regular D.A.R.E. presentations that Karn partnered with a local men-tal health and addictions counsellor in the spring to help address the topic in front of parents in Warfield and Rossland.

“For the person actually doing the bullying, they're behind a screen,” said Karn. “They feel protected, and it gives them almost a greater sense of who they are at that point because there is seemingly no immediate repercussions behind it, no conse-quence behind it.

“Even if someone writes 'LOL' (to a post on social media), the vic-tim of the cyber bullying sees this and instantly figures they're right on board,” she adds.

Enquiring minds also wanted to know more about cigarettes and why mom and dad would ingest some-thing willingly with 200 poisons. And what's the deal with e-cigarettes? Did you know there is a vampire blood flavour?

But students also craved tips on communication: how to carry your-self, speak clearly and with intent and confidence.

Karn expects the same for this year but says she's always surprised in some way. She felt her message was heard and used when one student came up and explained that she inter-rupted a bully and questioned later whether she should have told the teacher first.

Karn believes in this program. It's hard to say whether her efforts have any impact on reducing crime in the big picture, but she would say that's more than likely the case.

“We all have people that help guide us to make good decisions to get to where we're at today,” she said. “And the more people that can reinforce the skills that are coming from home life—whether it’s the teacher or the police, whether it's your next door neighbour or grocery store clerk—if they're reinforcing those positive behaviours, we're setting our chil-dren up for success.”

D.A.R.E. is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches children how to resist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives. For more informa-tion visit, www.dare.org

s u B m i t t e dThe BC SPCA Trail

Regional Branch is holding a microchip clinic for animals in the area that is free for low-income families in the Castlegar region.

“No one wants to lose a pet, but accidents happen, doors or windows are acci-dentally left open and our furry companions escape,” says BC SPCA Trail Regional Branch manager Danielle Jackman.

It’s important to not only have a collar with identifica-tion and contact information

on it, but to also have perma-nent ID like a microchip or tattoo, as collars can come loose or be torn off, Jackman notes.

“We cannot stress enough the importance of properly identifying your animal – and to always make sure your con-tact information is current and updated,” said Jackman.

Appointments for the microchip clinic must be booked in advance, and the appointment includes a permanent microchip for the animal as well as a free, one-year subscription to the BC

Pet Registry, the first provin-cial database for permanent pet identification in B.C.

If people are interested but don’t have a car or way of getting their pet to the clinic, call anyway and the BC SPCA and its volunteers will work to provide transportation, Jackman says.

The clinic happens on Tuesday, Sept. 15, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Castlegar Veterinary Hospital, 4340 Minto Rd., Castlegar.

To book an appointment or schedule transportation, call 250-368-5910.

OUR GUIDANCE • YOUR DECISIONS™

B y B i l l M e t c a l f eNelson Star

It may seem strange, given the cooler temperatures and some recent rain, but the water supply in Nelson is more at risk now than it was in the summer, according to the head of the city’s public works department.

“The discharge [from the creeks that feed the reservoir] on Aug. 26 was the lowest on record,” Colin Innes says, “and the forecast is for 40 per cent less rain over the fall.”

And so the city has imposed water restrictions (see below) effective September 11, that are even more stringent than those in the summer.

At the end of July, the Star reported that 13.6 megalitres of water per day were entering the reservoir and 11.2 was being used by residents.

That, according to Innes at the time, was cutting it very fine because the average year round supply into the reservoir is 73.4 megalitres per day and the average year-round use is about about six megalitres per day.

On Aug. 26, according to Innes, the intake to the reservoir was down to 6.2 megalitres (54 per cent less than in July) and the amount being used by residents was eight megalitres (28 per cent less than July).

So while city residents used less in August than in July, possibly because of the water restrictions imposed during that month, the supply also worsened, and Innes says it will take more than a few days’ rain to fix it.

“It’s not like we have a glacier up there,” he says. “We depend on the amount of water that falls on it. In the immediate runoff from a rain event, it will look like you have a lot, but what comes at you over time is what is important.”

He says in a week or two the gains from recent rain could dis-appear.

“We need more sustained rain. We need a slow gentle rain so it can soak itself in.

“We are concerned about people hearing about things like lifting the campfire ban and fire hazard going down and forgetting we have

a water shortage issue.”Innes says September and

October are always low-flow months, “so you really come up against how much water you have. If we get a lot of rain we will be fortunate.”

In addition to the Level 4 water restrictions that start on September 11 (see below), Innes also wants residents to consid-er that toilets typically use 27 per cent of household water. Add showers and washing machines, and the percentage rises to more than half.

Nelson’s main water source is Five Mile Creek, located in West Arm Provincial Park, which feeds into the main reservoir on Mountain Station Rd.

The city also gets water from Anderson Creek in Fairview and Selous Creek at Ymir Rd. At each of those places is a diversion dam, screen assembly and electro-mechanical valves. The reservoirs feed into a distribution system that fans out across the city in 87 km of underground pipes.

Asked what would happen if Nelson’s reservoir ran dry, Innes said, “We would be in a state of emergency as we would be unable to provide drinking water or fire suppression.

“Damage would occur with the depressurization of the water dis-tribution system and we would also have upset conditions develop at the sewage treatment plant as there would be no nutrient going for treatment. A really bad situa-tion all round.”

He added that the city is mon-itoring the situation so closely that it would intervene well before supplies run out.

Nelson water shortage worse now than in summer

“We are concerned about people hearing

about things like lifting the campfire ban and

fire hazard going down and forgetting we have a water shortage issue.”

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVANCOUVER - For the first time in

months, campfires are permitted across British Columbia.

The BC Wildfire Service says half-metre by half-metre campfires are now allowed throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre, remov-ing the last, remaining restrictions.

The province’s five other fire centres have already dropped their campfire bans, and wetter conditions in the Cariboo centre have now allowed the lifting of restrictions cover-ing an area west of the Fraser River.

It’s the first time since early July that campfires have been permitted provincewide.

The Ministry of Forests took the rare step of banning campfires and all open burning earlier this summer as drought-like condi-tions created an extreme fire risk.

Nearly 2,000 wildfires have been recorded across B.C. since April, with the wildfire service noting just under 3,000 square kilo-metres of woodlands have been burned.

Final campfire ban lifted in B.C.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - The

Syrian crisis is extract-ing sharper views from the campaign trail on when and how Canada ought to go to war, and what the country should do to ease the suffering of innocent civilians pouring out of the Middle East.

The foreign policy implications of the violence in Syria and Iraq followed the three federal leaders as their campaigning took them to both coasts and central Canada.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair was unequivo-cal that Canadian mil-itary personnel would be immediately with-drawn from Iraq and Syria this fall - months earlier than planned - if the NDP wins the Oct. 19 federal elec-tion.

Stephen Harper, meanwhile, suggested that Canada can and will do more to help Syrian refugees, in the face of mounting public pressure on the Conservative govern-ment over the past week.

Harper has been steadfast that accepting more refu-gees and sending humanitarian assist-ance to the displaced people in the Middle East is not enough, and that dealing with the root cause of the problem - tak-ing the military fight to Islamic militants responsible for the carnage - is essential.

Justin Trudeau pushed the Liberals squarely into the mid-dle ground, arguing that Canada needed to do more to ease the suffering of refugees, but still had to play a

role training the Iraqi fighters to do battle with Islamic militants.

Canada has a half-dozen fighter jets fly-ing bombing missions in Iraq and Syria, and several dozen special forces military trainers working with Kurdish fighters in Iraq to fight Islamic militants - a commitment that now extends to March.

Mulcair said the mission falls neither under the umbrella of the United Nations nor NATO, and a New Democrat government wants no part of a U.S.-led coalition.

It’s a stance that raises questions about the potential future of Canadian foreign policy under what would be the country’s first New Democrat government.

“Mult i lateral ism has always been part of the Canadian approach, but this is neither a UN nor a NATO mission. This is an American-led mis-sion,” Mulcair said in Winnipeg.

“Canada is free, we have our own foreign policy, we’ll have an independent foreign policy under an NDP government and we will put an end to Canada’s participation in the combat mission in Iraq and Syria.”

Harper hinted that steps are being taken to speed up refugee resettlement - an issue that has been front and centre in the cam-paign since the image of three-year-old Alan Kurdi lying dead on a Turkish beach emerged last week.

“The position of this government has been we have been the world leader in

refugee resettlement and we intend to do that in a responsible way, a responsible and affordable way for Canadians,” Harper said in Prince Edward Island.

Harper recalled his trip to a refugee camp in Jordan in early 2014 where he said he saw the “grave humanitar-ian challenges” that refugees face, and was briefed on the security implications.

Harper has main-tained that Canada has to avoid allowing terrorists from a war zone into Canada.

Trudeau said the Conservatives and New Democrats hold extreme positions on what is needed, while the Liberals have “a balanced and reason-able position” that is more in line with what Canadians want to see their country doing.

“We have a federal government right now that thinks military action is the only solu-tion to the humanitar-ian crisis in the Middle East,” Trudeau said in Vancouver. “And we have an oppos-ition party that takes the opposition party that take the opposite extreme position that there is never a mil-itary role to play in solving challenges like the crisis in the Middle East.”

Trudeau said he was “encouraged” that Harper signalled a willingness to do more to assist refu-gees, but he suggested the prime minister was pushed into doing that.

“Canadians want more done,” he said.

“The mayors, the premiers are calling

for more action. And I think the prime min-ister is probably real-izing that he has to

do more and in short order and I hope that I will be able to speak to him about this.”

Syrian crisis forces leaders to confront military and humanitarian options

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - The Ontario Nurses

Association says hospitals will no longer be allowed to shame health-care workers into getting a flu shot following an arbitrator’s ruling strik-ing down a “vaccinate or mask” policy.

About 30 Ontario hospitals imple-mented the policy, which forces nurs-es and other hospital workers to wear an unfitted surgical mask for the entire flu season if they do not get the influenza vaccine, ONA president Linda Haslam-Stroud said Thursday.

The test case was against the Sault

Area Hospital in Sault Ste. Marie, which tried to use the policy to boost their staff immunization rates, added Haslam-Stroud.

“They were basically coercing and shaming nurses into getting the influenza vaccine if they individually chose not to take it,” she said. “They made them all wear masks and they had little stickers on their name tag that everyone knew meant ‘I don’t have my vaccine.”’

The policy made private medical information public because everyone could tell who had been vaccinated

and who had not.Arbitrator Jim Hayes found the

“vaccinate or mask” policy was unreasonable, and “a coercive tool” to force heath-care workers to get the flu shot.

Experts testified that it was illogic-al to force healthy nurses to wear masks, and Hayes concluded the masks were not protecting patients or nurses from the flu.

“The sad part about it is it was giving our patients a false sense of security, and we knew that,” said Haslam-Stroud.

Ontario nurses can’t be forced to wear masks in flu season: union

Across the Okanagan last week, apple grow-ers issued a call for pickers.

After a dry, hot summer, apples were ready to be plucked from the trees ahead of schedule.

“Everything is early in the Okanagan this year, by almost two weeks,” said farmer Ken Rieger, from his booth at Kelowna’s farmers’ market. “I have been farming for 45 years, and this is the first time I have ever picked Macintosh in August.”

While getting the crop ahead of schedule may sound like a good thing, Rieger said it can create a quality problem.

“Apples need cool nights so they can get the good colour,” he said.

“And if you are picking in August, you don’t really get the good, cool nights.”

Without the burst of colour that comes from the end of the season, the financial yield of the crop is also lower.

“An Extra Fancy, for example, needs a cer-tain intensity of colour, and if they don’t get it, they get put down to a lower [price] tier,” he said.

Rieger said some farmers are struggling with conditions this year, but for the most part the apple business is on solid ground.

So much so, that he’s been told there are grape growers pulling out their crops in favour of planting apple trees.

That, he said, is reflective of the fact that farmers have to be adaptive.

OPINION

Salmo council replenished, grants bolster villageWith the rains of

early September all of us have some relief from

the forest fires and smoke. Our Salmo Fire

Department had volun-teered and was authorized to travel to assist with the Stickpin Fire that threat-ened our neighbors in Grand Forks.

Thankfully they were not needed but it’s just another example of neigh-bors helping neighbors and communities that unite when in peril.

We thank all the women and men who worked so hard over the summer to keep us safe.

As of September 8t Salmo will once again have a full complement of Council members. We all welcome Councillor Diana Lockwood and Councillor Jonathon Heatlie. Both long-time residents of Salmo, they bring much experience to their new roles and we all look for-ward to working with them.

The last article from Salmo noted we were

waiting to hear if we had obtained a significant grant for replacing much needed playground equip-ment in our central park.

The grant, which includes campground and ball field improvements among others, has now been approved by the Columbia Basin Trust, together with grants from the Regional District of Central Kootenay and Western Financial Group.

We are grateful to these supporters.

None of this would have been possible without the assistance of our Chamber of Commerce who worked hard to organize various committees to revitalize our parks.

Particular thanks to Heather Street and Jacquie Huser who spent many hours coordinating these groups and bring-ing forward park plans to Council.

Construction of the new playground is sched-uled to be completed this fall.

Our CAO Diane Kalen-Sukra has begun pre-

paring Council for the strategic planning and budgeting process, which we intend to complete earlier this year than in any other.

This process will also help to integrate our new Councillors and meas-ure the progress we have made over the past nine months.

This progress includes moving forward on num-erous civic works initia-tives -- including road paving, line painting, parks and cemetery main-tenance improvements; meeting our statutory requirements around rec-ords management, profes-

sionalized operations and financial reporting, to name just a few.

To make this progress possible, our CAO has secured grant funding in the past six months equiva-lent to approximately one quarter of annual general government expenditures. This does not include over $100,000 in pend-ing applications which we expect to learn about before year-end.

We have also increased Council grant-in-aid con-tributions to our com-munity volunteer groups which are the life blood of the Village. These have helped sports teams, the arts community, out-door recreation groups and youth groups among others in delivering valu-able services to our resi-dents.

We are particularly proud of the work of the Salmo Lions Club which has successfully under-taken the maintenance of Railway Garden Park along the highway and made it an attractive loca-tion for visitors and resi-

dents alike.This initiative is some-

thing we would like to build on. It not only beautifies the way along the highway, it is also emblematic of the vol-unteer-spirit of our com-munity while encouraging visitors to stop and spend time in our charming Village.

Together with the behind the scenes founda-tion-building work such as putting in place proper administrative and finan-cial controls and retaining and promoting dedicated staff, Salmo’s future is very bright.

Something is amiss when infrastructure projects routinely overshoot their origin-

al estimates by millions – and sometimes – billions of dollars in B.C.

It isn’t rounding errors. It’s sloppy estimating, bad pro-curement, ill-conceived plans and often a lack of a boss where the buck stops on some projects.

Back in January 2009, the B.C. government announced that it had reached “an agree-ment-in-principle for a pub-lic-private partnership with Connect BC Development Group to expand the Port Mann crossing and widen Highway 1.”

The government reserved the right to enter directly into contracts with “consortium members should a privately financed arrangement not be concluded.”

On February 27, the gov-ernment disclosed it had been “unable to reach definitive agreement on final terms” with Connect BC and instead had entered into a “fixed-price” contract with Peter Kiewit & Sons and Flatiron Canada to design and build the new bridge and highway improvements.

The province also engaged “Macquarie Group to provide advisory services.”

Other winners in the deal: CH2M Hill who provided “pro-curement, technical advice and program engineering,” MMM Group who – in a joint

venture – was “responsible for the onshore design,” and BA Blacktop who was the “desig-nated paving subcontractor.”

In a remarkable coinci-dence, 10-days before the gov-ernment made its announce-ment, the B.C. Liberal party reported receiving – on the exact same day – cheques of $5,000 each from the follow-ing companies: Peter Kiewit & Sons, Flatiron Canada, Macquarie Group, CH2M Hill, MMM Group and BA Blacktop.

On its website, Kiewit writes that the old “Port Mann Bridge was the primary route across the (Fraser) river, serv-ing more than 800,000 vehi-cles in a single week,” but it “couldn’t keep pace with the growing needs of the region.”

They solved that problem. So far in 2015, the “world’s widest bridge” has carried less than 685,000 vehicles per week.

The bridge was part of the government’s Gateway plan announced in 2006.

The original estimate was $3 billion, which included $800 million for the Port Mann Bridge replacement, $500 million for widening Highway 1, $400 million for the North Fraser Perimeter Road and $800 million for the South Fraser Perimeter Road.

Estimates the government was still using 21-months later.

There was even a $300 mil-lion contingency in case of cost overruns.

May have been a typo, the projects overshot those esti-mates by more than $2 billion.

Call it cost creep.The Port Mann was budget-

ed at $800 million. Then highway improvements were tacked on and it became a $1.4 billion project, then $1.6 bil-lion and up it went to $2.7 bil-lion, $3.1 billion and, finally, to $3.32 billion.

And the government boast-ed it had signed a “fixed-price” contract.

The Crown corporation that owns and operates the

bridge – the Transportation Investment Corporation – is today $3.61 billion in debt or $610 million more than the original estimate for the entire Gateway plan (includ-ing that $300 million contin-gency).

It’s not the only infrastruc-ture project to overshoot its budget.

Of eighteen projects announced by the B.C. gov-ernment since 2003 – all with initial cost estimates of more than $150 million – nine hos-pital projects have already exceeded their original esti-mates by 12.6 per cent, seven transportation projects are running 59.2 per cent over budget, and the Vancouver Convention Centre and BC Place re-roofing together came in 68.1 per cent over first estimates.

More worrisome? One of the seven transportation pro-jects isn’t finished yet and it’s not looking good.

The Evergreen Line is beset with mechanical prob-lems. There may be smiles all round in public, but behind the scenes officials are grit-ting their teeth, because the boring machine isn’t gritting its.

Yet – despite all the cost overruns – the same compan-ies keep showing up on job after job.

One company – MMM Group – ended up working on all seven of the transporta-tion projects, CH2M Hill and Kiewit worked on three each.

MMM Group, recently acquired by WSP Global, is now the government’s engin-eer on the Massey Tunnel replacement project.

So why not more uproar?Might have a bit to do with

the government treating “on budget” as a moving target by continuously revising them to make them so.

Isn’t really cricket though.And those fixed-price con-

tracts, they’re not so fixed after all, at least on price.

An editorial from the Hamilton Spectator

The fact that Senator Pamela Wallin has finished her suspension and returned to work, returned to receiving $142,400 a year in tax-fund-ed salary, isn’t breaking any rules. Technically, her suspen-sion ended when Parliament did, so back she went.

She has repaid $154,191 in wrongly claimed expenses. Administrative errors, you see.

But relax, the Harper-

appointed senator says: She’s back on the job working in the best interest of Canadians. Are you relieved?

Technically defensible or not, this stinks. She’s still under investigation; she still may face charges of fraud and breach of trust. But she’s still getting paid by taxpayers, still working and living on the public tab.

Stephen Harper said he would fix the Senate. He hasn’t come close. Tom Mulcair says

an NDP government would start the process of abolish-ing it.

That’s a huge order, requir-ing constitutional change and consensus Canadian govern-ments have not shown the ability to achieve so far.

But given this latest example of how the govern-ment and some senators still seem to enjoy spitting in the face of Canadians, Mulcair’s approach is getting more and more appealing every day.

Wallin could become Mulcair’s best friend

SubmittedROSSLAND –“It’s a

dirty job, but someone has to do it”, say Tanya and Trinda LaFond, this year’s organizers of Rossland Golden City Days’ third annual Outhouse Races. While last year’s

organizer, chainsaw carver Mike Williams, is out of town on busi-ness, these two will be overseeing this year’s event.

“We aren’t talk-ing crap,” says Tanya, “but the LaFonds intend to wipe out

anyone who attempts to dethrone them as the reigning cham-pions.” The LaFonds would like to challenge last year’s competitors (the Retired Rossland Firefighters and the Rossland Firefighters) to a rematch, and dare the next generation of LaFonds to put in their own team. Tanya would also like to personally challenge the Drake clan to put together a team to prove which infamous Rossland family is number 1, and which is number 2, so to speak.

All you need is five team members, an outhouse and a good set of wheels. Each team races the clock, with one team mem-ber on the throne and the other four pushing and pulling, to cross the finish line with the best-combined time of two runs. Teams roll their biffies 100 feet down the course, stop and do a fire drill (three laps around the outhouse ending with

swapped positions) before continuing another 100 feet. At that point, participants ditch their rides with a roll of toilet paper in hand and hustle the rest of the way to set the roll on a plunger 30 feet further at the finish line.

As for the out-houses, they must be human powered, have the usual four walls, a roof and doorway, and must include wiping material and a toilet seat with at least one hole. They can be made of any material, except glass, and must have a base of at least 9 square feet, with a minimum height of 5

feet at the structure’s highest point.

Extra outhouses are available to prospective racers, thanks to Mike Williams, who built them using recycled materials.

Those looking to step up to the chal-lenge should contact Tanya at [email protected] or Trinda at t r inda13@hotmai l .com for details.

Participants are encouraged to come in costume and to decor-ate their outhouse to match their team’s theme. Winners will get the coveted toilet seat trophy to adorn their mantle(s) and impress their friends.

– Outhouse must be a minimum of nine square feet at the base, and a maximum overall width not to exceed six feet (including grasping or pushing devices). A minimum height of five feet from the floor to the high-est point of the roof is required.

– Any number and size of wheels may be used.

– Any device for pushing or pulling the outhouse may be used, except ropes. All pushing or pulling devices must be solidly secured.

– Outhouses may be built from any material, except glass, and must be structur-ally sound.

– Each entry must have an Outhouse name which is to be displayed on each side of the structure. Sponsors’ names may be displayed anywhere on the outside walls.

– The team must consist of five (5) people; one person must ride inside.

– Minimum age is 12 years.– Team is to dress in costume to reflect the

theme of their entry.– Team check-in: All outhouses and teams

will check in at the vacant lot next to Rossland Fine Wine and Spirits at 2:00 pm and will be inspected upon arrival. Races will start at 2:45 pm.

– Adequate safety attire required for all members.

– There is no weight limit. – Handles are required for Outhouse rid-

ers.– There will be a mandatory pit stop at

mid-race for a fire drill. Each team member must run around the Outhouse three times and the rider must switch places with one of the pushers. Each team member will be required to place a color-coded roll of toilet paper on a color-coded plunger in order of color scheme provided at race time. The race will be timed from start to finish; the object-ive being to achieve the lowest overall time.

For race entry form, email Trinda LaFond at [email protected] or Tanya LaFond at [email protected]

In the early hours of Monday morning, con-servation officers responded to a call about a hungry grizzly bear. The grizzly was at a resi-dence in the Jimsmith Lake area and had broken into a chicken coop to eat chickens.

Conservation officer Ray Gilewicz said that while there weren’t any reports on a bear, it had to be put down. He noted the bear showed up just outside the city boundary in a fairly rural area with acreages and such, and the landowner had chicken coups.

“At 2 a.m. in the morning, the landowner reported to CO services that this bear was on site,” Gilewicz said.

“We attended and the bear was on site as reported. It was a young — probably a three year old — grizzly male, and it was eating the chick-ens basically in her yard.”

He said there was a safety concern with the bears presence in the human populated area.

“The decision was made that this bear was going to be put down and it was,” Gilewicz said.

It was Elisabeth Vanderkooy who called about the grizzly. She was awoken by her dogs in the middle of the night. She could hear the chickens making noise.

“I went out outside thinking it was a skunk in the chicken pen,” she said. “Then I saw the bear on top of the [chicken] house.”

Vanderkooy saw the bear break into the pen,

grab a chicken and begin to eat it.“Then he ran into the the bushes, and came

back and I called the CO,” she said.The bear ate four of Vanderkooy’s 12 chickens.She even blew an air horn a few time, which

didn’t faze the bear at all.“From then I knew I had a problem,” she said.She said it was a sad situation all around.“You don’t like it to happen, but sometimes

there are no choices in life,” she said.She’s accustomed to dealing with bears

around her residence and dealt with a black bear last year which she managed to scare away.

“You get used to it up here,” she said. “It’s part of living in the bush.”

Gilewicz said there is a lot of bear activity at moment. The bears are looking for natural food sources, like chokecherries and apples.

“Once they start tearing open chicken coups next to residences, it just shows a further pro-gression by this bear into human food sources and habituated to human-related properties,” he said.

“If they’re out skirting around people’s prop-erties and just staying on the vegetation, then we can try hazing and those sorts of things, but once they’ve showed that desire to go beyond that and start taking livestock and destroying property and not showing any fear towards humans, it’s of more concern to us and to public safety.”

Wildsafe reported that nine bears had been killed in Fernie, Elko, Sparwood and Elkford.

Canal Flats

Mill closure concerns town, unionB l A c k P r e s s

The Canal Flats sawmill will close permanently in early November following an announcement from Canfor on Wednesday.

Flats, recent downturns in the oil and gas and lumber mar-kets that the mill served com-bined with a lack of economic-ally available fibre for the mill have brought operating losses.

“We’re very disappointed,” said Doug Singer, president of the USW Local 1-405. “Four

months after a massive layoff that they’ve now announced a closure of the Canal Flats operation. We’re extremely dis-appointed the company didn’t give it more time to see if it could be a success.”

The jobs in the plant rip-ple throughout the region as employees live in Canal Flats or commute from places such as Cranbrook, Kimberley, Radium and Invermere.

Canal Flats CAO Brian Woodward said the closure

announcement came as a shock.“The mill is by far our largest

employer,” he said. “We have so many questions. Are they going to sell it? At this point in time we are organizing a transition team with the Ministry of Jobs and the Village will participate in that process. But we have no answers. There are issues of taxation, and there are at least 30 families living in Canal Flats affected by this.

“We just don’t know. It’s a bit of a shock for everyone.”

BLACK PRESS SPORTSIt’s year 53 in the B.C. Hockey League

and the Interior Division appears to be even more balanced than last year when the playoff race went down to the final weekend.

The defending champion Penticton Vees appear to be primed to repeat, but after that, the Interior division spots are wide open. Again, one or two very good teams will miss the post-season dance.

This season the 2015 Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup is in Fort McMurray, while the Royal Bank Cup will be held in Portage la Prairie, Man.

Black Press sports reporters and editors have assessed the rosters and decided on the following finishes:

1. Penticton VeesKey Returnees: F

Tyson Jost (23-22-45), Demico Hannoun (23-18-41), D Gabe Bast (9-31-40), Dante Fabbro (4-29-33), G Brendan Barry (10-2-0), 2.06 goals against

average, 2 SO, .912 save percentage.Rookie Sensations: F Owen Sillinger, 17,

chose to play for Penticton after receiving heavy interest from Junior A teams such as the Vipers and Major Junior clubs. Sillinger captained the Regina Pat Canadians to a bronze medal at the Telus Cup Midget nationals last April and was the Telus Cup MVP, top scorer and top forward with six goals and 17 points in seven games.

Easton Brodzinski comes from a hockey family with two older brothers playing in college. Brodzinski played three years of high school hockey in Blaine, MN., and recorded 72 points in 80 games. He brings size (listed at 6-foot-2, 190 pounds) and skill.

D Sam Jones, 17, born in England and living in Penticton for the last five years, compiled 31 points in 28 games for the Okanagan Hockey Academy Prep Red, making him the second highest scorer in the league. Jones brings strong skating ability and a hard shot. Griffin Mendel, 16, won a Canadian Sport School Hockey League Prep Division championship with the Okanagan Hockey Academy. Selected by the Kootenay Ice in the first round of the WHL Bantam draft, the 6-foot-2 rear-guard is responsible and intelligent.

Strengths: Early in training camp, the Vees displayed speed and skill. Captain Tyson Jost said while last year’s squad also possessed those abilities, he feels this group is a step ahead. The Vees will be led by NHL 2016 draft prospects, Jost and Fabbro.

Coach’s quote (Fred Harbinson): “Our forward group looks really strong. This is our building and we’re not going to allow teams to come in here and play

around with us. One of the things he have always had in the past … is if you want to be undisciplined, then we will find ways to score on the power-play.”

2. Salmon Arm SilverbacksKey Returnees: F

Taro Hirose (18-32-50), Carson Bolduc (19-25-44), Josh Blanchard (17-22-39), Ross Heidt (16-16-32), Colton Thibault (12-14-26) and Josh Laframboise (12-10-

22). D Phil Middleton (8-17-25, 47 PIM), Damian Chrcek (1-10-11, 42 PIM). G Angus Redmond (24-22-3, 2.72 GAA, 5 SO, .910 save percentage.

Rookie Sensations: F Cam Coutre, 17, helped the Major Midget South Island Royals to the semifinals of the BCMML playoffs. Coutre racked up 17 goals and 40 points in 36 games. Coutre, who was used as a call up for the Silverbacks on eight occasions scored four points in the BCHL last year. The Silverbacks young-est player, Marcus Mitchell, 16, cracked the BCMML’s top 20 points table, racking up 22 goals and 46 points.

Strengths: The Silverbacks strength starts in goal with Angus Redmond, last year’s league leader with five shutouts. The return of 14 players to the Silverbacks should bring leadership, maturity and sta-bility to the squad. Silverbacks’ GM Troy Mick worked hard in the off season to bol-ster the blue line with the addition of two

sizeable and experienced defencemen in Aiden Salerno and Brett Stewart. New play-ers in the lineup such as Cam Coutre, Marcus Mitchell, Sam De Melo and Elijiah Barriga should provide provide a spark of energy and enthusiasm.

Coach’s quote (Brandon West): “We have a team of 22 leaders that can com-pete with any team in the league. We are big, fast, strong and possess a high skill set that will translate to us being better in the corners and in front of the net where it counts.”

3. Vernon Vipers:Key Returnees:

Leading scorer Liam Finlay is a dynamo who amassed 23 goals and 64 points after being dealt to Vernon from Penticton early

last year. F Jagger Williamson was the youngest player on the Snakes’ roster last year and put up 8-20-28 as a 16-year-old. Forwards Colton McCarthy (10-15-25) and Trail native Riley Brandt (14-9-23) play with a wicked edge and can bring offence as well. Smooth D Mitchell Oliver (1-6-7) is the only d-man back. G Jarrod Schamerhorn (24-12-1, 2.71 GAA) was solid in 2014-15.

Rookie Sensations: Ultra-skilled cen-tre Peter Tufto, a finalist for Mr. Hockey in Minnesota last year after ringing up 27 goals and 63 points with St. Thomas Academy. Tufto, 18, will play alongside his clone, Finlay.

RW Jimmy Lambert, 18, pocketed 21 goals and 56 points with the Major Midget Saskatoon Contacts last year. Joe Sacco Jr. of Boston is a gritty 19-year-old who skates and shoots well. Sacco, whose father is an assistant coach with the NHL Bruins, sup-plied 22 goals with The Rivers School Red Wings of the U.S. High School league. C Joey Cipollone of Purchase, N.Y., amassed 51 points in 24 games with Harrison Select Hockey Academy and has locked up a schol-arship to the University of New Hampshire Wildcats for the future. D Steven Jandric, 18, of Prince George, produced 18 goals and 54 points with the Major Midget Cariboo Cougars.

Strengths:The Vipers will start with a pair of

20-year-old net detectives with Alaskan Andrew Shortridge new to the club. Shortridge had a 2.57 average with the NAHL Aberdeen Wings in South Dakota last season and was strong in the Vipers’ exhibition series. Ferner has won two Royal Bank Cups and lost another in the final with Vernon. A 19-year pro d-man, he has also coached at the Major Junior level and is an excellent teacher who commands respect. D Bo Pellah, a BCHL all-star and NHL-rated player a few years ago, will excite fans as a 20-year-old with wheels and puck-handling magic.

Coach’s Quote (Mark Ferner): “We are structurally ahead of the curve compared to this time last year. We’re inexperienced for sure, but we have speed, skills and lots of high hockey IQs. We built this team from the goalies out so we should be solid defensively.”

4. Trail Smoke Eaters:Key Returnees: F

Harlan Orr (18-17-35), Max Newton (9-15-24), Kienan Scott (15-8-23), Cooper Leitch (7-8-15), Conner Brown-Maloski (8-6-14). D Jeremy Lucchini (1-12-13, 25

PIM), Evan MacEachern (3-21-24, 29 PIM), Ryan Swanson (5-19-24, 46 PIM), and Dexter McLeod (1-12-13, 35 PIM).

Rookie Sensations: Imports Nick Halloran, an 18-year-old Air Force com-mit from Draper, Utah and Army commit John Laurito, 19, from Johnston, RI, join the Smoke Eaters with speed to burn and a nice touch around the net. Kale Howarth, 18, from Red Deer was a surprise in camp as he cracked the lineup as a vir-tual unknown, and combines size and skill with good hockey sense.

Hometown additions Spencer McLean of Montrose and Ross Armour from Rossland were in the top three in scoring for the KIJHL Beaver Valley Nitehawks as 16-year-olds last year and will be major contribu-tors this season.

FROM PAGE 12Strengths: The Smoke Eaters’ strength is

spread over its four balanced lines. With a strong work ethic, speed, quick puck movement, and an aggressive forecheck, Trail has the ability to force the play and score throughout the lineup. Also, the acquisition of highly touted netmind-ers Bailey Macburnie, 20, from Beverly, Mass. and 6-foot-3 Linden Marshall, 17, from Victoria should provide solid and consistent goaltending.

Coach’s Quote: (Nick Deschenes)“There are some real bright spots, and some

good moments, but now it’s a level playing field. We have our 22 guys, everyone has their 22 guys, we have to figure out how well we can get our 22 to play and how far we can take the group.”

5. West Kelowna Warriors:Key Returnees: F

Liam Blackburn (22-51-73), F Jonathan Desbiens (27-27-54), F Kylar Hope (11-9-20), D Kristian Blumenschein (7-35-42) F/D Kyle Marino (3-15-18), D Rylan Yaremko (4-13-17), F Brett Mennear (11-14-25) and F Garret

Forster (17-28-45) who is new to the Warriors but was one of the Victoria Grizzlies’ top produ-cers last season.

Rookie Sensations: The Warriors have high hopes for D Jake Harrison (7-13-20), 16, a West Kelowna product who played with Pursuit of Excellence Academy in Kelowna last season.

F Connor Sodergren (14-24-38) and F Quinn Forman (5-5-10) both come to the Warriors from Massachusetts, while F Reid Gunville (20-32-52) hails from Prince Albert, Sask. The three were effective playing on a line together in preseason.

G Daniel Manella (2.08 GAA, .927 save percent-age) comes to West Kelowna after strong season of Junior A hockey in Oakville, Ont., while G Forbes Polszay (2.67 GAA, .914 save percentage), from Arizona, played in three locales last season, including with the Colorado Rampage U18s.

Strengths: The Warriors have a good core of veteran leaders, led by the team’s top scorer Liam Blackburn and newly-appointed captain Kyle Marino.

As has been the case with Warriors’ teams of recent years, a persistent, workmanlike approach will be the key to success. If the two new goal-tenders, Manella and Polszay, live up to their advanced billing, the Warriors should be in good hands between the pipes.

Coach’s quote (Rylan Ferster): “We like the character that we have coming back. We’re for-tunate to be bringing back some pretty key play-ers, Blackburn, Desbiens, and Hope, and we’ve got some really good leadership with guys like

our captain Kyle Marino and Rylan Yaremko. “This (Interior) division is going to be tough

again and I think you’ll see two really good teams missing the playoffs.”

6. Merritt Centennials:Key Returnees: F Gavin

Gould (24-35-59), F Colin Grannary (19-20-39), F Nick Fidanza (10-7-17), F Zak Bowles (11-14-25), D Malik Kaila (1-3-4), D Cole Arcuri (1-11-12), D Tyrell Buckley (0-6-6), G Anthony Pupplo (13-13-0).

Rookie Sensations: With only eight returning players from last year, new head coach and GM Joe Martin and his predecessor Luke Pierce spent the off-season looking for talent both up front and on the blueline.

Up front, Connecticut’s Nick Jermain, 19, put up some impressive numbers with his home-state Oilers of the EHL (11-25-36 in 38 games), while Kansas-born, Quinnipiac-bound Ryan Finnegan lit it up for the Baltimore Skipjacks of the USPHL with 17 goals and 20 assists in just 23 games. Surrey’s Michael Regush, 17, was a proven scorer with the Delta Hockey Academy last season (17-16-33); he recently committed to Cornell. Tyler Wickman had a great year on defence with the Yale Academy in Abbotsford in 2014-15, as did big-bodied netminder Colten Lancaster with the Pursuit of Excellence in Kelowna.

Strengths: With 14 new faces in the lineup, it’s going to take some time for the Cents to gel. Their pre-season demonstrated that this year’s team has the firepower and speed to be competitive in the tough Interior division, while newcomers Faulkner and Fiorentino look like good addi-tions to a blueline anchored by a healthy Kaila and Arcuri. Between the pipes, time will tell if the Pupplo-Lancaster tandem are up to the task of leading the Cents to glory in the post-Pierce era. Coach Martin will be capably assisted by new second-in-command Matt Samson, who led the North Van Wolfpack to a PIJHL title last season.

Coach’s Quote (Joe Martin): “With a new head coach in myself, with a new assistant coach in Matt, and a large number of first-year players, we have a significant challenge ahead to prove ourselves in the league this year. Our small group of veteran players will be called upon to take on much larger roles than they have had in the past. I see it as a new beginning, and a tremendous opportunity for all of us to put our stamp on the team’s future successes.”

Contributors include: Jim Bailey, Trail, Evan Buhler in Salmon Arm, Warren Henderson in West Kelowna, Ian Webster in Merritt, Emanuel Sequeira in Penticton and Kevin Mitchell in Vernon.

B y J i m B a i l e yTimes Sports EditorRed Roof Duathlon

organizers put the scheduled Sunday event on hold this week.

Organizer Carol Currie says they made the tough decision to postpone the unique event due to a low number of registrants.

“We needed at least 30 to break even, and we didn’t have that. There was still a few more days to register but we had to make a decision . . . There

were too many things we had to commit to by that day that were costly.”

The duathlon planned to highlight Trail’s iconic red-roofed covered stair system with the first leg a 7.7 kilometre run from Gyro through West Trail, with a lengthy portion con-sisting of the stairs, before cycling 30 kilo-metres to the Waneta border and back, topped off by a 4.6 km run along the scenic Columbia River to the finish at Gyro Park.

Because it was the first one of its kind

held in Trail, the organization team did a good job market-ing the event back in May, however, many competitors may have already committed to other events.

“We sent (informa-tion) to every triathlon club in B.C., Alberta, and a whole bunch down in Washington, so we did hit quite a few, but maybe a little too late in the season, people had already made their race plans, so we’ll get ahead of the game this time.”

While a definitive date has yet to be selected, Currie would

like to see the race go in April or May as a Triathlon BC sanc-tioned event and a lead up to the Bare Bones duathlon in Penticton in May.

“We don’t want to interfere with that one (Penticton) . . . but ours could be a good training ground,” said Currie. “Where ours is unique is with the stairs and we picked some long ones.”

By postponing the race, organizers are hoping to get sanc-tioned as a Triathlon BC race, train offi-cials, and benefit from increased advertising

window and promot-ing it further afield.

“It goes on their (Triathlon BC) website with all the sanctioned races, which gives it some credibility as well as coverage provin-cially and interprovin-cially at the race, and we’re also looking at how to organize some corporate challenges.”

The race also gar-nered support from Columbia Basin Trust, Teck, and the

LeRoi Foundation, with much of its pro-ceeds to be donated to Sanctuary and the Trail Hospice Society.

“It was disappoint-ing, but we just felt that we’ve had some really good support and we didn’t want to waste that funding, we wanted to make sure the race was doing some of the things we wanted it to do, and that involves having more people here.”

Today’s the day for the start of hockey sea-son - both the

BCHL and the KIJHL kick off tonight.

Locally, the first chance for fans to get out and support their teams is Saturday. Trail hosts the return game with the Vernon Vipers and Beaver Valley, after opening in Spokane, will face the Kelowna Chiefs at the Hawks’ Nest.

The Nitehawks, always a strong contender in their league and often beyond, seem assured of another successful year, with many more to follow as long as the community has an appetite to support them.

For the Smokies, who are increas-ingly desperate for success and have seemed on the brink of franchise calamity in recent years, this week-end will be a very strong indication of their 2015/16 prospects.

The Vipers, on paper at least, seem to have a very similar team makeup to the Smokies, with less than half their previous roster returning and only a small per-centage of its players home grown. Given that Vernon is a perennial playoff contender, how the Smoke Eaters match up with them, even this early in the season, could be a strong indication of the club’s pros-pects for long term season success.

Omens are not everything, how-ever. The Smokies won their first two games last year, and arguably outplayed both Pentiction and Salmon Arm on home ice in the next two, but finished that weekend at 2-2 and ended up not making the post season.

However this weekend goes, it will be incumbent on the coaching

staff to learn quick-ly about the qual-ity and depth of the current roster when measured against a quality opponent and do what they can to make sure the mid-season swoon that has become a regular Smoke Eater thing does not happen.

Meantime, of course, even medi-

ocre Trail teams of recent seasons have provided great, affordable entertainment at Cominco Arena. That is a good reason, along with oft-professed, “home town pride,” to get to the rink Saturday.

The BCHL may provide the most exciting level of hockey outside of the Stanley Cup finals - we all know regular season NHL games are regu-larly boring - and it would be a good thing to maintain a franchise here - for many more reasons than just the quality of entertainment provided.

Attendance numbers that are an increase over last season, along with a playoff spot, are the only ways to change the financial picture enough to make keeping the local franchise a realistic idea.

So go, Saturday and more often.• Keep your fingers crossed

through Tuesday that we will not have the costs of another Canadian dip into the IOC cesspool coming out of our pockets in 2024. Toronto has until then to submit an expres-sion of interest in bidding for that year’s summer games.

Remember, all three big party leaders will jump on board - it is an election season, after all - with put-ting the IOC in charge of billions of dollars of taxpayer spending again, whether they know the games are a corrupt fools’ endeavour or not.

T h E A s s o C I A T E D p R E s sLittle League is getting younger. The organiza-

tion announced Thursday it is changing its age requirement, phasing 13-year-olds out of the div-ision that plays in the annual Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

They are doing that by changing the league’s “age determination date” to Aug. 31. That will prevent anyone who turns 13 during the baseball season from playing in the major division of Little League baseball.

The change, which affects all divisions from tee-ball up, fully takes effect beginning in 2018. The current birthdate cutoff of April 30 will remain in effect in 2016 and 2017 for players born on or before Aug. 31, 2005.

Little League District Administrators had voted in 2014 to move the age cutoff date to Dec. 31. But Stephen D. Keener, the league’s president and CEO, said they moved it again after getting feedback from parents, coaches and others.

The administrators felt the Aug. 31 date would be more appropriate in meeting “the goal of mak-ing the Little League Baseball Division truly a 12 and under program, while also mitigating the impact to those currently participating in the Little League program,” Keener said.

The move to Aug. 31 also will bring its registra-tion in line with most school districts, allowing more kids to play with their classmates.

T h E A s s o C I A T E D p R E s sBUFFALO, N.Y.

- The Buffalo Sabres have added veteran depth to their defence by signing free-agent Cody Franson to a two-year contract worth $6.65 million.

The team announced the sign-ing Thursday of the former Beaver Valley Nitehawk, a week before players report for training camp.

A person familiar with the contract pro-vided its value to The Associated Press and spoke on the condition

of anonymity because the Sabres did not release that figure.

Franson will make $4 million this season, the person said.

Last year, Franson, a Sicamous native, had a career-best 36 points (seven goals, 29 assists) in 78 games split between Nashville and Toronto.

Overall, he has 35 goals and 134 assists in 400 career games over six seasons

Franson has an opportunity to be a top-four blue-liner in Buffalo.

He becomes the latest off-season addi-tion to a retooling Sabres team coming off two consecutive last-place finishes.

As a 16-year-old, Franson played for the Nitehawks in the 2003-04 season scoring 10 goals and adding 22 assists before moving onto the Vancouver Giants of the WHL where he won a Memorial Cup in 2007.

Franson was draft-ed by the Nashville Predators in the third round of the 2005 NHL draft, 79th overall.

“Lord you hear the desire of the af� icted you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed...” Palms 10:17, 18

Our hearts have been touched by the refugee crisis in Europe. Questions have risen as to whether or not we are meeting our moral obligati0ns as one of the world’s wealthy nations. As Christians we are called to care for our neighbours, and protect the vulnerable, the needy and the oppressed. God speci� cally commands us to treat the foreigner with justice and compassion. Leviticus 24:22 tells us “when a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall do him no wrong…you shall love him as yourself”.

It seems that we lose sensitivity to the plight of others less fortunate than ourselves. A few generations ago many

of our forefathers came to this country looking for a better life, a future. I listened to a journalist from Syria on national news say, “if I stay in the country, I will die”. That’s a sobering thought. The Syrians face a country torn apart from years of civil war; they lack food, shelter and security. These people have little hope for their future and they know that if they stay, they face certain death. Given these options they risk everything for a possible better tomorrow. Like so many foreigners in the past; they hope that we in the west will be compassionate.

The task is daunting, the cost high, but to whom much is given, much is required. We must defend the fatherless and the oppressed, because our Father does.

A typical back to school assignment, when I was a kid, was to write about our summer vacations. I never cared for the topic. I had nothing much to write

about, or so I thought. At the time, I did not realize that the spirit of a vacation is sometimes more important that its activities.

I spent the summers of my childhood at home doing ordinary things, like eating sand-wiches on the porch while sipping Kool-Aid, and playing outside until the streetlights came on. The most exciting thing that happened was the arrival of the ice cream truck in the neighbour-hood. Occasionally, my family went huckleberry picking or took off for the day to picnic near a lake or stream.

We were masters at the staycation, long before the con-cept became trendy.

By chance, I took a staycation this sum-mer. It came upon me in the form of a seventeen-year-old relative who was studying English at a nearby college. She had weekends free. We spent them swim-ming in lakes and hot

springs, wandering local markets, picnicking in parks, visiting local heritage sites and canoeing at a wildlife sanctuary. My visitor’s enthusiasm for the things that I considered ordinary and ho-hum renewed my appreciation for familiar places and landscapes.

My staycation had the added benefit of deep-ening my understanding of hospitality and building a friendship. Initially, in my heart, I was a reluctant tour guide. As I extended myself, I became more generous in spirit. Hospitality, I discovered, not only includes acts of generosity that everyone can see, like inviting someone to dinner or showing them the sights. It is also an attitude of the heart that enables us to joyfully meet the needs and receive the gifts of the other person.

A few weeks after the departure of our visitor, my family headed off for two-weeks at a nearby lake.

The first week was glorious with sunny, blue skies, but then the wind shifted and the smoke from a forest fire settled in. Poor air quality forced us to spend the bulk of that week indoors. The enforced family togetherness could have resulted in frayed tempers. But, like my unplanned staycation, it turned out to be a gift.

The smoke seemed to muffle sound and slow time. It literally shrunk the horizon before us, limiting our view to a few feet beyond the edge of the dock. We began to enjoy the stillness that contrasted with our modus operandi of get-ting things done. The shrunken visual horizon expanded the interior horizon of the heart. It fanned a spirit of comity among us as we waited optimistically for a benevolent wind (that never came) to clear the skies.

This summer, I found gifts in unexpected circumstances. A staycation renewed my appre-ciation for the familiar and nurtured a more generous heart. A hazy horizon reminded me that there is value in stillness and a beauty in doing nothing.

Leisure

Dear Annie: I am a widow in my 80s. I recently was introduced to a widower who seemed friendly and had a good sense of humor. He asked me out for dinner and the conversation went well. But when he took me home, he kissed me and grabbed my breast. I was absolutely not expecting this from a suppos-edly “nice” guy, and especially not on a first date. What on earth would he expect on a second date?

At my age, I am not looking for a romantic or physical relationship. I should have slapped his face for being so forward, or at least let him know it was not appropriate.

This man has called several times since then, but I will not answer the phone because I don’t know how to tell him that I don’t want to accompany him anywhere ever again. I have many widowed lady friends, and we get together often for lunches, movies, etc., and I am perfectly happy with that. I don’t need to feel uncomfortable in the presence of a man who can’t

keep his hands to himself. How can I get him to stop calling me? -- Lonely, Not Lusting

Dear Lonely: Please be honest with this lothario. Tell him you were highly offended by his vulgar display at the end of your date, and you are not interested in seeing him again. Add that you are not looking for a physical relation-ship and he would be better off with some-one who is. We suggest you write these words down, practice saying them, and then read them to Mr. Inappropriate when he next calls so you don’t stumble or become flustered. He deserves to know the truth, and you deserve to be left in peace.

Dear Annie: Would you clarify the difference between hoarding and being a filthy pig housekeeper?

Hoarding, to me, is filling your home with stuff that you cannot

part with. It has nothing to do with keeping a house clean. After get-

ting a few glimpses of hoarders on TV, I don’t understand how this can be called “enter-tainment.” Who would allow their home to be filmed for all the world to see? I believe these scenes are staged. This sick curiosity, spoon-fed by the networks, is but another example of society’s downslide.

Any comment? -- Disgusted with Programming

Dear Disgusted: Hoarding is a form of mental illness, and we agree that it should not be displayed for public amusement. Nonetheless, as long as people watch these pro-grams and advertisers pay to pro-mote their products on them, they will continue. The upside is, such programs bring awareness to the public and, in most instances, these homes are professionally cleaned

and the inhabitants receive ther-apy. It is not filmed without their agreement. While some scenes may be staged, we can assure you that hoarders actually do live like this. It’s terribly sad.
