The community outpouring in sup-port of a fundraiser to end homelessness in Greater Trail has been encouraging.

But local organizers are hoping more people will commit to sleeping one night under the Trail bridge to raise funds that will sustain the non-profit service into next year.

Coins for Change is an awareness and fundraising campaign slated for Sept. 12 that asks local officials, service groups, first responders and anyone else to experience homelessness firsthand by spending the night under the Victoria Street Bridge.

“By staying under the bridge for one night doesn’t mean we know what it’s like to be homeless,” said Sheila Adcock from the Career Development Services (CDS).

“But it’s a perfect venue to raise awareness and something we would like to do year after year.”

The challenge builds on a joint ven-ture between the Skills Centre and CDS called Getting to Home, which is an initiative that launched two years ago with a goal to end homelessness in Greater Trail.

With summer vacations almost over,

CDS’ event planners are out-and-about in an effort to have more groups join the cause.

Information packages have been hand

delivered to various Teck social clubs, clinics, the hospital and businesses, said Adcock.

“I think a lot of people are away on holidays and hard to reach right now,” said Adcock. “But I’m hoping they’ll take a look at what we are doing and give some confirmation that they will be here that night.”

If pitching a tent or building a make-shift shelter out of boxes isn’t in the cards, Adcock said donations can be brought to the site that evening or dropped off at the service’s downtown office.

She said there’s been many positive comments and pledges from the com-munity to CDS staff members who are canvassing their neighbourhoods.

“We are hoping to have businesses and individuals challenge others, such as ball and hockey teams,” noted Adcock. “But there’s not much of a commitment to that yet.”

Even though reaching certain sectors of the community has been difficult, Adcock remains hopeful that she will soon hear that local police, fire depart-ment and ambulance services are com-mitted to joining in to spend a night under the Trail bridge.

For one new member of the Trail community, the Coins for Change fundraiser literally hits close to home.

The Getting to Home program helped Shawn Geist through a troubled time in his life when he had no hope and no where to go.

Geist was just out of his teens, addicted to drugs, in trouble with law enforcement and sleeping on the streets of Nelson.

He needed to get away from that city to get his life back on track, so he moved to Trail but didn’t have a plan in place.

Once he walked through the doors of CDS and asked for help, he’s never looked back.

“I didn’t have a place to live and I needed help,” said Geist from his first phone that was hooked up in his home Thursday afternoon.

“They moved me into a house,

helped me maintain it and made sure I wasn’t back on the streets.”

Geist has a CDS outreach worker dedicated to helping him learn how to make ends meet on a day-to-day basis and to provide assistance with moving forward into a bright future.

Now sober with a secure roof over his head and working part time, he is determined to earn his high school diploma and is already thinking about post secondary education.

“When I was homeless and on a lot of drugs I didn’t care about myself or who I hung out with,” recalled Geist. “Now I’m happy and proud of where I am. I have food in my house, a great girlfriend and a great life.

“The resources are here in Trail,” he added.

“The best thing you can do is ask for help.”

City council agreed to rollout a new plan that will bring free Wi-Fi to a host of parks throughout Trail this fall.

The Shaw Go Wi-Fi no charge service is open to all users, not just Shaw cus-tomers, and besides providing free access at Gyro, Haley, Andy Bilesky and Butler parks, will also enhance smartphone wire-less access in the current hot spots at city hall, the Trail Memorial Centre, and the Trail Aquatic and Leisure Centre.

Members of council authorized a five-year facility attachment license agreement during the governance and operations committee meeting Monday afternoon, after confirming the city’s cost to average about $308 per year per site, and that any park user can access free Wi-Fi, regardless of their own service provider.

Until now, there hasn’t been free wire-less service in the outdoor parks, explained David Perehudoff, Trail’s chief administra-tive officer.

The installation at the Trail facilities will enhance coverage and complement the city’s current offering, he said, not-ing that users will be able to search for networks available and pick the one that provides the best signal strength within each facility.

“Although we do not expect that all areas of each park will be covered,” said Perehudoff. “And there may be some spots where people will not be able to see the Shaw network.”

Duane Birnie, the city’s information systems coordinator, noted that many municipalities in the province have been approached by Shaw with the offer, and have since established a working group to study the issues surrounding the service.

The communication company’s hard-ware cannot be attached to the city’s decorative street lighting systems or cross walk poles, said Birnie, and when possible, Shaw will use its own infrastructure and not provide its own guest access network at those locations.

The access point, called a hotspot, has a range of about 20 metres indoors and a greater range outdoors.

Fruitvale

B y L i z B e v a nTimes Staff

The Terry Fox Foundation is on the hunt for someone to organize a Terry Fox Run in Fruitvale this year for what would be the first run since 2011.

Catherine Hodgson, media assistant for the foundation, says the run is pretty easy to organize and it is open to anyone who has a bit of spare time.

“It can really be anyone in the com-munity,” she said, adding that there are many different types of people organizing runs across the country.

“We have such a great example of young and old. We have someone organizing a run that is as young as 20. It is interesting because a lot of orga-nizers hold the cause personally and have been affected by cancer before, but we really welcome the entire community.”

The position of run organizer has four main functions, says Hodgson.

“(The position involves) organizing the run, securing an

organization commit-tee, planning the route and planning some activities,” she said, mentioning that any-one who organizes a Terry Fox Run would not be going at it alone.

“We would act as a resource for as much as we can. We would also provide all of the promotional materials and that is all compli-mentary.”

According to Hodgson, it is getting down to the wire for someone to sign up and organize the Fruitvale

Terry Fox Run, but there are always extra materials at the Terry Fox Foundation office.

Donna White, the provincial coordina-tor for the founda-tion, says that holding a Terry Fox Run isn't reserved for larger cities or bigger com-munities – anyone can host a run and con-tinue Terry Fox's work.

“What Terry started 34 years ago with his Marathon of Hope is certainly a legacy that has been left with all of us as Canadians.”

“We have runs in cities the size of Vancouver or Toronto, but we also have runs in communities like Masset and small towns around the country.”

Even though the event is titled the Terry Fox Run, White says you can do it on roller blades, or in a stroller, as long as the message is maintained.

“Whether you want to walk it, whether you want to run it, or if you want to bring your children in strollers, or seniors in wheelchairs,

or kids on bikes, and bring the family dog, It is about coming out and being a part of a Marathon of Hope and continuing the legacy that Terry left with all of us,” she said.

Gord Mattson, a member of the orga-nizing committee for Trail's Terry Fox Run, says the event is some-thing that has put Canada on the map in regards to cancer research.

“The foundation is a grassroots organiza-tion driven by volun-teers. All of the funds raised go directly to cancer research in Canada and over the last 30 years, the funds have helped trans-form Canada's cancer research centres into world-class, world leading (facilities).”

The Terry Fox Run for Trail will start at 10 a.m. on Sept. 14 in Gyro Park with regis-tration at 9 a.m.

For information on how to sign up and organize the Fruitvale Terry Fox Run, contact White or Hodgson at the British Columbia Terry Fox Foundation Office at 1-888-836-9786.

The city’s new acquisition, the Trail Regional Airport, lands over 20,000 pas-sengers each year.

That number upgrades Trail from business to first class opportunities for fed-eral money to pay for air-port improvements.

The Airport Capital Assistance Program (ACAP) is available to any Canadian airport that is not federally owned or operated, meets certification requirements, and offers year-round regularly scheduled commercial passenger service.

Depending on the number of pas-sengers accessing the service annually, each eligible airport can qualify for up to 100 per cent funding on projects that Transport Canada rates in priority.

Because Trail falls into the least scheduled passenger category, 1,000 to 49,999, the city is eligible for full fund-ing of first priority projects.

Meaning, any safety-related airside improve-ments such as runway rehabilitation, visual aids and aircraft firefighting equipment required by regulation, can be 100 per cent paid for through the

Transport Canada program.“At this time the runway is the main

priority,” said David Perehudoff, Trail’s chief administrative officer, adding, “the city will be completing an inventory to determine what further ACAP assist-ance we may apply for in the future with respect to equipment.”

The regional district, the airstrip’s owner until six months ago (Feb. 15),

received ACAP funding for a snowplow and runway sweeper, both of which were transferred to the city with the sale of the airport.

“We are still making efforts to improve all airside machinery and safety equipment through ACAP,” explained Perehudoff. “And will keep the public informed as we progress through the various stages of the program.”

He said there isn’t a cap for the air-strip’s improvement projects, but lim-ited federal money has each airport competing for available funding.

Don Goulard, manager of the Trail Regional Airport, attended Monday’s governance meeting to brief council with an operations report.

He noted that Internet service prob-lems have been eliminated with the installation of fibre-optics, the “dip” in

Castlegar

B y G r e G N e s t e r o f fCastlegar News

A BC Provincial Court judge has sentenced a man to nine years in prison for a violent, drug-induced attack at the Castlegar airport.

Aaron Welch, 28, pleaded guilty to 14 charges including aggravated assault, robbery, and mis-chief, stemming from the bizarre scene that saw a man stabbed in the face and over a dozen vehicles damaged.

Sentenced Monday in Nelson, he was given time-and-a-half credit for the six months he has already spent in custody, meaning he will need to serve another eight years and three months.

The Crown wanted a ten-year sentence, while the defence asked for four to six years.

Welch had 32 offences on his record between 2001 and 2012, including several assault convic-tions that resulted in jail time. His longest previ-ous sentence, however, was nine months.

A psychologist’s report suggested he is a high risk to re-offend and has shown “poor motivation” to deal with his drug problem.

Court heard that on February 16, while delu-sional on crystal meth, Welch took three rebar stakes used for snow removal and smashed several vehicles in the airport’s long-term parking area, hoping to steal a vehicle and drive to Winlaw. He took several items, including a pair of tin snips.

Around 5:30 a.m., a witness called 911. Welch ran towards the man’s truck and threw an object at it. Before police arrived, another driver pulled over and rolled his window down to ask if Welch needed help. Welch responded by stabbing the 63-year-old man in the face with the tin snips, causing a laceration around his right eye. The vic-tim exited his truck, and Welch got in and began to drive away, but was rammed by another truck, and then collided with an arriving police car.

An RCMP officer tackled Welch in a snowbank and held him with the help of two witnesses.

In addition, he was given a lifetime firearms ban, ordered to provide a DNA sample, and to pay a total of $2,550 in restitution to the owners of the damaged vehicles.

B y L o r N e e c k e r s L e yCreston Advance

A special program to eradicate outdoor mari-juana crops continues to reap dividends for Creston RCMP.

Eleven small grow-ops, most on the East Shore of

Kootenay Lake, were locat-ed and destroyed last week, Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said on Monday.

“Our members have been working hard on this,” he said.

Funding comes out of a provincial pot of money

that allows local police to use a helicopter to identify locations from the air and then use GPS co-ordinates to locate the grow-ops with their vehicles or on foot.

On Aug. 12, 400 plants were cut and removed from four spots in the Crawford

Bay area. On Aug. 14, four more grow-ops near Gray Creek were dismantled, removing 433 plants.

Another patch with 215 plants was taken out on Saturday, pushing the week’s total to more than 1,000 plants.

FROM PAGE 2the north end stopway was ground-down and new asphalt applied, and “wind-socks” now meet required specifications.

“In response to discus-

sions with Transport Canada, all runway, stopway, taxiway and apron markings have been correctly re-painted to ensure compliance,” Goulard confirmed.

Additionally, the Request

for Proposal (RFP) issued in June that seeks a firm to develop engineering and architectural plans for a new airport terminal has been “well received,” he said, with more than one dozen firms

attending onsite meetings in July and August.

Deadline for the RFP is Sept. 12, however construc-tion of a new terminal cannot be funded through the federal assistance program.

B y M o n i s h a M a r t i n sMaple Ridge News

Public school teachers in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows who haven’t received a full pay cheque since June are tapping into donations to make ends meet.

The Maple Ridge Teachers Association set up the hardship fund soon after teachers across the province went on a full-scale strike June 17.

Association president George Serra couldn’t say how many teachers have accessed the fund or how large it is. The association has received dona-tions from retired teachers, as well as support from current teachers, who’ve been chipping in their strike pay.

“When you don’t have a pay cheque for weeks, things can get tough in a hurry,” said

Serra, whose association rep-resents 1,100 teachers.

Teachers who’ve accessed the fund are receiving support in cash or via grocery vouch-ers.

“I don’t think teachers are that different from anybody else. Unfortunately, a lot of us live pay cheque to pay cheque,” Serra added.

Associations across B.C. have set up similar funds, with the Surrey teachers even creat-ing a food bank.

Teachers went on strike June 17, closing schools two weeks before the end of the school year.

Talks between the B.C. Teacher’s Federations and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association have continued under a media blackout since mediator Vince Ready met the

two sides last week. Ready agreed to monitor the situa-tion, and to resume explora-tory talks or commence full mediation when he believes it will be productive.

The parties agreed that they will not engage in public dis-cussion pending further dis-cussions with Ready.

Serra said union represent-atives from across B.C. will meet in Kamloops Friday to discuss their plan of action for September.

The union has yet to decide whether teachers will continue with a full-scale strike once the new school year begins or switch to a limited withdrawal of services.

On Tuesday, teachers and their supporters staged rallies outside the offices of MLAs Marc Dalton and Doug Bing.

Further tests of mine tailings spilled down a creek bed from the Mount Polley mine will determine whether the metal-bearing sand will be removed or left where it is, Energy and

Mines Minister Bill Bennett said this week.

The first lab tests on sediment sam-ples at the mouth of Hazeltine Creek showed that while the material that poured down to the creek mouth in Quesnel

Lake isn’t a health haz-ard to humans, its iron and copper content are above federal and provincial standards for aquatic life.

Bennett said it’s encouraging that the first sediment results did not show presence

of arsenic, mercury or cadmium, toxic ele-ments found in mine rock or used in mine processing.

A comparison sam-ple of compact sedi-ment from the mouth of nearby Raft Creek, not affected by the Aug. 4 tailings pond breach, also tested above sediment qual-ity guidelines for iron. The ministry says mineral deposits that attract mine develop-ment often have nat-urally occurring metal concentrations much higher than other areas.

“What we need to do is test those sedi-ments to determine whether it’s better environmentally to leave them there or to try to collect them and get them out of the

creek bed and get them out of the creek mouth in Quesnel Lake,” Bennett said. “Before you start dredging lake bottoms and trying to clean up the bottom of a creek bed to get the sand out, you’ve got to determine what the risk is first, and that’s the phase that we’re in right now.”

There are two pri-ority jobs underway on the spill site. One is pumping down the level of Polley Lake, the smaller lake next to the mine site that received a surge of water and tailings that plugged the out-let with an elevated water level. The other is reconstructing the breached section of the dam to prevent rain from carrying more tailings from the pond.

Pair of mudslides strands travellers t h e c a n a D i a n P r e s s

VANCOUVER - An orphaned, yearling grizzly dubbed Littlefoot is once again wandering free in the wilds of southeastern British Columbia, saved by a unique pilot project between the province and two animal welfare groups.

The little bear weighed just under 13 kilo-grams when he was found in the spring after hibernating alone, following the death of his mother last fall.

Although older than most bears accepted by the Northern Lights Wildlife Society in Smithers, officials in the ministries of environment and forests agreed the bruin could receive care for a short period, and he had grown to a healthy 44 kilograms before being released Tuesday.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) captured Littlefoot, transported him to the society and arranged his release in a berry-rich site close to where he was found.

t h e n a n a i M o n e w s B u l l e t i nA local softball tournament struck out

over the weekend after organizers discovered that thousands of dollars were stolen from them.

According to the Nanaimo RCMP, organ-izers had a cash box that contained rough-ly $5,500 from the tournament, which is held annually at McGirr Sports Complex and consisted of 15 men’s teams from across Vancouver Island. The money would have been used to pay the umpires and field fees.

Tournament organizers became aware of the theft at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, which was the last day of the tourna-ment.

The Nanaimo RCMP were called after organizers realized that the cash box, which had been left in an unsecured area, was mis-sing.

“Organizers are shocked and dismayed that someone would stoop so low. They will be taking to social media sites to let people know what happened and hopefully find out who is responsible,” Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman said in a press release.

t h e c a n a D i a n P r e s sLILLOOET, B.C. - Several people were strand-

ed overnight on Highway 99 north of Lillooet, B.C., after four vehicles got caught between two mudslides that closed a section of the road.

A storm hit the region at about 10 p.m. on Tuesday night.

Transportation Ministry spokesman Dan Palesch said 10 to 12 smaller slides came down in various locations through a segment of 10 to 12 kilometres.

The ministry’s Drive BC site said Wednesday that the highway remains shut down in both directions from Lillooet to 35 kilometres north of the community.

There’s no word on when it will reopen, and motorists were being advised to use Highway 12 and Highway 1 instead.

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

David Alward is count-ing on voters to back his plan to develop New Brunswick’s natural resources as a path to prosperity when the Progressive Conservatives make their case for a second term in office when the province’s election campaign officially begins Thursday.

The 32-day cam-paign is expected to be fought on which party can improve the eco-nomic fortunes of a province that is mired in red ink and sported the second highest unemployment rate in the country at 10 per cent in July.

Alward has faced a backlash as he tries to develop the province’s natural resources through a new forest-ry plan that increases the amount of wood that can be cut on Crown land and the creation of a shale gas industry.

Despite the oppos-ition, Alward has pressed ahead, say-ing that not proceed-ing with shale gas exploration would be too risky for the prov-ince’s economy.

“We’re saying ‘Yes’ to developing our shale gas resources, and we’re saying ‘Yes’ to developing natural resources in a respon-sible way,” Alward said this week.

First Nations chiefs in the province have gone to court seeking an injunction to block the forestry deal, and testing work for shale gas by a company in the Rexton area became the scene of

a riot last year when the RCMP enforced an injunction to end a blockade at a com-pound where explora-tion equipment was stored.

Before the cam-paign formally began, Liberal Leader Brian Gallant focused many of his promises on the economy and cutting a deficit forecast to be $387.3 million this fiscal year.

Gallant said his party would find at least $250 million in savings from the provincial budget and redirect the money into areas that would create jobs and grow the economy.

“We need to fill the skills gap,” Gallant said.

“That’s one of the biggest complaints of businesses in the province, so we need to invest strategically in education, training and literacy.”

The Liberals have been critical of the Alward government’s failure to honour a promise in the last election to balance the budget by the end of its mandate.

The Tories now say they can have a sur-plus in three years, while the Liberals said Wednesday it would take them six years to balance the books. In the meantime, the Liberals would add $1.5 billion to the

$12.2 billion provin-cial debt.

The Progressive Conservatives had 41 members in the legis-lature before dissolu-tion, the Liberals 13 and there was one Independent.

This year’s election will be fought on a newly-created elec-toral map that cuts the number of seats in the legislature to 49 from 55.

Don Desserud, a political scien-tist at the University of Prince Edward Island and a long-time observer of New Brunswick politics, said voters are getting tired of the main two parties in the prov-ince.

“People are changing their vote, they’re changing their affiliation with parties because they’re all seeking that magic solution - that great, white knight that’s going to solve the great list of problems that the provinces have,” Desserud said.

He said Alward has no assurance of get-ting a second term.

The former Liberal government led by Shawn Graham became the first one-term government in the province’s history when it went down to defeat four years ago.

New Democrat Leader Dominic Cardy is hoping voter dis-

content will prompt people to take a good look at his party when they cast their votes on Sept. 22.

“We’ve got the party ready to govern and a team of can-didates ready to be cabinet ministers,” he said.

The New Democrats have attracted Bev Harrison, who sat in the legislature as a Tory, and former Liberals Abel LeBlanc and Kelly Lamrock to

run as candidates. But the NDP has never elected more than one member to the legis-lature.

Geoff Martin, a political scientist at Mount Allison University in Sackville, N.B., said the new candidates from other parties could be seen as a nega-tive among staunch New Democrats as the party looks for a breakthrough in this campaign.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - Ontario won’t allow turban-

wearing Sikhs to ride a motorcycle without wearing a helmet, a decision the Canadian Sikh Association called “deeply” disappoint-ing.

Premier Kathleen Wynne wrote to the organization last week, saying she had strug-gled with striking the right balance between public safety and religious accommodation.

“After careful deliberation, we have deter-mined that we will not grant this type of exemption as it would pose a road safety risk,” she wrote in the Aug. 14 letter.

“Ultimately, the safety of Ontarians is my utmost priority, and I cannot justify setting that concern aside on this issue.”

The mandatory helmet law is based on extensive research that shows the high risk of injury and death for motorcyclists who ride without a helmet, she added. Mortality rates have gone down 30 per cent and head injury rates down 75 per cent in jurisdictions with such laws.

Courts have also found that Ontario’s law doesn’t infringe on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms or the Ontario Human Rights Code, she said.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SEDMONTON - The Alberta government is

tightening rules for government aircraft fol-lowing a harsh report that outlined inappro-priate use of the planes by former premier Alison Redford.

Finance Minister Doug Horner said that guests or family members on the planes will have to be preapproved and commercial flight options considered.

A quarterly update with details of all flights and their costs is also to be done, he said Tuesday.

A ban on using the planes for out-of-prov-ince travel remains. Redford brought in the restriction after questions arose last spring about her travel habits, including a $45,000 trip to South Africa for Nelson Mandela’s funeral.

Horner said it will be up to whomever is chosen Alberta premier next month in the Tory leadership race to make any further changes.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SMONTREAL - As many as a few thousand

minks could be on the loose in Quebec after someone broke into a fur farm and released animals.

The farm is at the heart of allegations of animal mistreatment.

Provincial police say they are investigating after the overnight release of the minks.

Spokeswoman Joyce Kemp says the owner noticed this morning that the minks had been released from their pens.

A spokesman for the Forests, Wildlife and Parks Department says the exact number of minks on the lam is unclear but that there could be a few thousand.

Animal advocates like the Montreal SPCA and Humane International Canada had called on the government last week to seize the animals because of their poor health and sub-standard living conditions.

The province chose to keep the animals under close supervision at the facility and work with the owner.

OPINION

Leaders must put people before politicsWhen we elect

people to office, we give them power to make

and enact decisions on our behalf. They should have a vision that extends beyond the next election and the latest Dow Jones average – to our children and grand-children.

We expect our leaders to have a clear picture of our world and the condi-tions necessary for human life and well-being. If they don’t, how can they make informed decisions? So let me outline some simple, scientifically validated truths about us and the world we live in – truths that should guide our pol-itical decisions.

We are, above all else, biological beings, with an absolute need for clean air from the moment of birth to the last death rattle. We take air deep into our lungs and filter whatever’s in it. Plants on land and in the ocean take in the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and release oxygen during photosynthesis, creating the atmosphere we depend on.

We are about 60 per

cent water by weight, so we need clean water to be healthy. When water falls to Earth, it’s filtered through tree and other plant roots, soil fungi and bacteria, cleansing it so it’s safe to drink.

All the energy in our bodies that we use to move, grow and reproduce is sunlight captured by plants in photosynthesis and converted to chemical energy, which we ingest. We eat plants and animals for our nourishment, so whatever they’re exposed to ends up in our bodies. We need clean soil to give us clean food.

These are basic, bio-logical facts and should be the prism through which any decision is made at individual, cor-porate or government levels. Protection of air, water, soil and the web of life should be the highest social, political and eco-nomic priority.

We’re also social ani-mals. Scientists have shown that love during childhood is essential for healthy development. Children who are deprived of love at critical points

can develop a variety of physical and psychological deficits. To avoid those, we have to work for strong families and supportive communities, full employ-ment, justice, greater income and gender equity and freedom from terror, genocide and war.

Finally, we are spirit-ual creatures that require sacred places, a sense of belonging to the world and a recognition that we are not in charge of nature, but dependent on the bio-sphere for our health and well-being. We are not out-side of nature; we are part of it.

To be fully healthy and human, our most elemental needs are bio-

logical, social and spirit-ual. Politicians ought to know this. Their role is to protect and enhance those necessities of life; other-wise there is no vision, direction or leadership.

That’s why it’s absurd for a politician or govern-ment representative to speak about any aspect of the economy without acknowledging the threat of human-induced cli-mate change. Many oppose doing anything on ideo-logical grounds, but the science is overwhelming and compelling, and the need for action is clear. What can you say about “leaders” who choose to ignore the best available evidence to the detriment of the people they are elected to represent?

Surely those who act only for short-term eco-nomic gain, imposing destructive consequences on generations to come, must be held responsible. We must also consider the consequences of rapid and excessive exploitation of fossil fuels on the world’s poorest people, who have done little to create cli-mate change but are most

affected by it.Even though Canada

ratified the legally-binding Kyoto Protocol, which spelled out our obliga-tions to reduce the risk of climate change, many of our “leaders” have wilfully ignored scientific evidence and urgent calls to meet the protocol’s targets, and Canada eventually aban-doned the agreement. What should we call that?

And what can we say about “leaders” who can see something is wrong and have the means to respond but choose not to? This is what Canada is doing – in the face of over-whelming evidence and pleading of other indus-trialized nations.

Our elected representa-tives deserve respect for their commitment. But the elevated status and power of politicians also carries responsibilities. Many are abrogating those respon-sibilities for ideological reasons that have nothing to do with our well-being.

The referendum ques-tion being voted on is mis-leading. The $4.9 mil-lion amount represents less than half the estimated $12.9 million project cost. It excludes the $500,000 already spent by the City of Trail and, if the Regional District pays for the remaining $7.5 million, City of Trail taxpayers share is 62.5 per cent, or another $4.7 million. However, the Regional District is investigat-ing other sewer crossings that may cost much less than $7.5 million. If feasible, the Regional District would only contribute that lesser amount to the Walking Bridge, leaving Trail taxpayers even deeper on the hook.

The referendum word-ing suggests the Regional District is leading the bridge proposal. The reality is they have not finished identifying and analyzing alternate cross-ings. They have not contrib-uted to the $500,000 in engin-eering costs “invested” by the City of Trail. They have not for-mally reviewed or costed any

proposed structure.The tail is wagging the

dog. The City has done everything to cast this as a sewer pipe bridge with “pedes-trian walkway, water main line and fibre optic conduit” add-ons. However, it’s likely there are several better and cheaper routes for the sewer line. The West Trail and East Trail water systems are already intercon-nected via the Victoria Street Bridge, another interconnec-tion isn’t required. Not sur-prisingly, Mayor Boggs has stated the water line will not be connected until later. This is a Walking Bridge being cast in whatever light is necessary to mislead senior levels of government to pay for it.

In support of its misleading referendum question, the City has published unsupported or misattributed statements.

A key source of information that City of Trail staff repre-sents as an “engineering opin-ion” is actually a slide show on the City of Trail’s template. No engineering firm’s name or signature is included in the

document.Furthermore, the city

flyer that was delivered to all homes includes a quote attrib-uted to Buckland & Taylor, 2010. I have a copy of their 2010 engineering report that does not include the state-ment and city staff cannot provide me the source docu-ment for their quote.

Sadly, I have lost confi-dence in council’s ability to conduct the city’s business. Recent disastrous decisions include:

• Victoria Street Upgrade• Airport Purchase• Area A Expansion• Violin Lake Walking TrailThe recent city budget

shows a transfer from city reserves of$2,639,700. Their spending habits are so out of control, the city manager warned council, in red writ-ing, that the continuing draw on reserves is not sustain-able. Reserves have continued to be used to supplement the capital plan.

Norman Gabana Trail

Referendum question misleading

Let’s be honest for a moment. When was the last time you picked a destination to visit or live because of a bridge? If one votes “yes” for the walking bridge, one of three things has happened.

Perhaps you believe that people do choose to travel somewhere due the presence of a bridge. If you believe that then you would see the bridge as an investment in a brighter future for Trail.

In order for the pro-posed bridge to become the

longest suspension bridge in North America, it would have to exceed 4,260 feet. This is roughly 4/5 of a mile. My guess is that the author of the letter in the paper meant to say “ped-estrian suspension bridge.”

This is yet another example of poor quality information being dispersed to the public.

Perhaps you believe it will promote “a healthy life-style.” People who choose to walk for health are already out there walking.

They do not require your tax

dollars to give them another place to walk.

Also be aware that no final engineering concept exists and no final costs are therefore pos-sible. What you don’t see may kill your budget.

Surely, the good people of Trail could see fit to demand the cheapest approach with the sav-ings used to attract job-creating businesses to the area. That is what Trail needs in order to grow.

Connie SmithTrail

Money better spent on attracting businesses

I urge Trail residents to get out and vote “Yes” to the construction of the pedestrian bridge. Don’t let the mis-information distributed by those individuals circulating the “No” petition influence your vote.

I have lived in Trail all my life and have found over the years that the naysayers in our community have stymied the development of the downtown

core.The pedestrian bridge will

enhance the aesthetics of the city, it won’t add any taxa-tion to the individual taxpayer and will provide an alternative route to the present bridge.

For those of you who believe there is still hope for the old bridge, you’re fooling yourselves.

An engineering study has determined the old bridge to

be unsafe and the city will not re-open it due to liability concerns.

I am as nostalgic as the next person but the old bridge is over 100 years old and has served its purpose.

Again, I urge the voters to get out and vote “Yes” and don’t let the naysayers win this battle.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SDENVER - Hashim

Khan, one of the greatest squash play-ers of all time, died of congestive heart failure Monday night. He was believed to be 100.

His son, Mo, said in a phone interview that Khan died in his home in Aurora, Colorado, with family by his side.

Khan was the patri-

arch who got the ball rolling on Pakistan’s squash supremacy, winning seven British Open titles, includ-ing his first in 1951 at an age when most players retire. Khan brought his family to the U.S. in the early 1960s after being offered a lucrative deal to teach squash in Detroit. He later took a pro position in Denver and played the game into his 90s.

Over the last six months, his health had drastically deteri-orated.

Hospice work-ers were providing around-the-clock care for him at his home.

Before he died at 10:05 p.m. EDT, he told his family to get his shoes, cane and passport because he was going to see his wife, who died a few years ago.

“The world just lost the greatest player of all time,” said Mo Khan, the youngest of 12 kids. “He’s going to be remembered for his sportsmanship and for what a won-derful man he was. He loved his family first and loved the game of squash and everyone

that played the game. He was one of a kind.”

No one knew the exact age of Khan since he never had a birth certificate. The family’s best guess was 100 and that’s what they celebrated on July 1.

Just another intriguing layer to the lore of Khan, who learned the play the game barefoot.

A vast collec-tion of his trophies are displayed inside the Hashim Khan Trophy Room, which is a squash court the members at the Denver Athletic Club converted into a shrine to him.

Khan was exposed to squash through his father, Abdullah, a chief steward at a British officer’s club in Peshawar. Back then, the youngster would go to the out-door courts to watch the officers play and fetch their errant shots.

Eventually, the officers would head inside to escape the baking sun. That’s when Khan sauntered onto the court and emulated their shots wearing no shoes,

holding a cracked racket and using a broken ball.

His father died in a car accident when he was 11, and he dropped out of school to become a full-time ball boy. He honed his skills playing the offi-cers in friendly games. He later became one of the club’s squash coaches.

At 37 - and at the behest of the Pakistan government eager for a national hero - Khan went to the British Open, considered the most prestigious tournament. He beat the best player in the world, Mahmoud El Karim of Egypt, 9-5, 9-0, 9-0, for his first title. His last was at 44.

About then, he taught his brother, Azam, to play squash and he won four titles. Hashim Khan’s cous-in, Roshan Khan, and nephew, Mohibullah Khan, each captured one. Throw in Khan’s cousin’s son, Jahangir Khan, who dominated the scene at one point by winning 10 straight titles, and the “Khan Dynasty” accounted for 23 British Open titles.

B Y T I M E S S T A F FThree swim-

mers from the Trail Stingrays Swim Club had great perform-ances at the Provincial Swim championships in Kamloops on the weekend.

“Diego Greenwood, and assistant coaches Madison Green and Jennifer Chung com-peted and despite the small number, the Stingrays repre-sented the Kootenay team with pride,” said Stingrays coach Samme Beatson in an email. “All three ath-letes swam phenom-enal races.”

In Girls “O” Category 2, Jennifer Chung picked up two bronze medals in the 50-metre butterfly with a time of 30.28 seconds, and the 100-m breast with a time of 1.20.01, narrowly mis-sing out on silver by eight-one-hundredths of a second in the fly and a mere three-one-hundredths in the breaststroke.

Chung swam best times and made ‘A’ finals in all four of her

races that included two fourth-places finishes in the 200 Individual Medley and 50-metre freestyle.

Green went head-to-head with Chung in the 50-free where she placed first in the preliminaries, but had to settle for bronze in the final. She finished with a sizzling 28.21 seconds but was out-touched by White Rock swimmer Katherine Toy by four-one-hun-dredths of a second. Green swam best times and made the finals in

all four of her events. Greenwood, mean-

while, took off time in all four of his races, making ‘A’ finals for his Div. 5 boys 100-m backstroke and placing seventh in the prov-ince with an amazing time of 1:07.96, two seconds faster than his time at the Regional meet. Greenwood also brought home a silver medal from the Div. 6 Regional relay team, a 200-m medley relay swam with the fastest of the region in each division.

Minor hockey taps into rich tradition

JIM BAILEY PHOTO

BY JIM BAILEYTimes Sports Editor

Greater Trail Minor Hockey took a page out of its memor-able past and will ice five retro-jerseys for its Senior Novice teams that pay hommage to the area’s rich hockey tradition.

GTMHA equipment man-agers Russ Green, Rob Stroud, and Chris Elwood were tasked with arriving at a solution to

outfitting five teams in Orange and Black, but instead of mak-ing it a variation of Smoke Eater colours, they drew on their hockey history to create a striking and sensible fit.

“We went with the regular Smoke Eaters ones, and then we thought what other three can we get,” said Green. “So we thought that we would apply that to some of our heritage,

that got us to where we are right now.”

The jerseys include replicas of the ‘61 World Champion Trail Smoke Eaters, the Rossland Warriors, Beaver Valley Nitehawks, and home-and-away Smoke Eaters jerseys.

“It’s a nice throwback to the teams and players that made our history.”

The 68th Little League World Series is celebrat-ing its 40th Anniversary of girls in Little League, and it’s only fitting that Vancouver’s Emma March and Mo’ne Davis from Philadelphia are playing in this year’s tournament.

In 1974, the Little League Federal Charter was amended, and girls start-ed playing Little League

Baseball and Little League Softball was founded.

There have been 18 girls in all that have played in the tournament, includ-ing Trail’s Kelly Craig who helped the Trail baseball team win the Canadian Championship and advance to the World Series in Williamsport, PA. in 1990.

It is 24 years to the day that Craig made history. On Aug. 21, 1990, she was the first girl to start a game on the mound at the World Series against a team from Matamoros, Mexico. Although her appearance was brief, the Trail team

would win the game 8-3. Trail would eventu-

ally lose in the semifinal to Chinese Taipei, but it was a memorable run for the team coached by Andy Bilesky and Neil Craig, and the last Trail team to advance to Williamsport.

Davis set her own rec-ords this year, becoming the first girl to throw a shutout game in the his-tory of the Little League World Series. With her team representing the Mid-Atlantic Region, Davis stunned fans and competi-tors with her 70 mph fast-ball. She will also become

the first Little League play-er to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, coming out on Monday.

Greater Trail is still fielding excellent young ballplayers with Allison Schroder competing with the Trail All Stars in the provincial baseball cham-pionship last month and recently picking up silver with Team BC at the nation-als, and Ella Matteucci who is playing for Team Canada in the World Cup Sept.1-7, and won bronze with Team B.C. at the Women’s Nationals on Sunday.

D7352 FROM PAGE 9 Minor hockey facts: Youth hockey was first organized in Trail in 1934, with five clubs in

bantam, four in midget and two in juvenile.

In 1939, the Trail Boys Booster Hockey Club replaced the ori-ginal group of teams; 130 boys participated.

The first President was 15-year old Jake MacLeod with Howard Edmunds as Vice President and Lloyd “Doc” Murdoch as Secretary.

The first provincial title was won by Gerry Thompson’s Trail Midgets in 1939-40.

In January 1957, Trail director Charlie Maclean organ-ized Canada’s first Minor Hockey Week at Cominco Arena in Trail, promoting it with the slogan: “Don’t SEND your boy to play hockey - TAKE him!”

In 1958, Minor Hockey Week was adopted by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association to be celebrated across Canada.

Greater Trail Minor Hockey is currently accepting registration for its upcoming sea-son, go to gtmha.com for more info.

1990 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

THE CANADIAN PRESSNEW YORK - The NHL draft lottery will have a

slightly different look next year.In an effort to “more appropriately reflect the

current state of competitive balance,” the NHL announced changes to the draft lottery that will more evenly balance out the odds of teams draw-ing the No. 1 pick.

Beginning in 2015, the team that finishes with the fewest points will have a 20 per cent chance, down from 25, the second-lowest 13.5 down from 18.8, the third-lowest 11.5 down from 14.2 and the fourth-lowest 9.5 down from 10.7. The 10 other teams will have increased odds of picking first.

NHL draft restructured

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSPARAMUS, N.J. -

The last player to win back-to-back majors in the same season didn’t even make it to the FedEx Cup finale at East Lake.

“That’s not going to happen,” said Rory McIlroy, with a smile.

He’s correct, based on simple math.

Padraig Harrington

won the British Open and PGA Championship in 2008, and just his bad luck, the FedEx Cup was restructured that year in an attempt to create more vola-tility in the playoff events. It rewarded mediocrity instead. Harrington began the playoffs by missing two straight cuts and soon was eliminated.

The system in place the last five years doesn’t allow for that.

McIlroy is the No. 1 seed when the play-offs get started today at The Barclays, and he is assured of reaching the Tour Championship. But his hopes of cash-ing in on the $10 mil-lion prize are based more on form than a calculator.

The 25-year-old from Northern Ireland is coming off three straight victor-ies, and they were big ones - the British Open, a World Golf Championship and the PGA Championship. He is No. 1 in the world and starting to separ-ate himself from the rest of golf.

McIlroy will play the opening two rounds with Walker and Masters champion Bubba Watson, the top three players in the FedEx Cup.

The top 100 in the FedEx Cup after The Barclays advance to the second round of the playoffs next week at the TPC Boston.

Dear Annie: I have a question for parents. Why, when the kids’ soccer, football or base-ball games are over, do the parents open up the trunks of their cars and get out the beer? Tailgate parties with alcohol do not belong at children’s events.

When my children played sports, we went out for ice cream. Alcohol was not permit-ted before or after. What kind of behavior is this teaching our children? Where are the police? They have to know this is happening. Their children play sports, too. Not to mention, these same parents put their children in the car and drive home after drinking in the park-ing lot. Please explain this to me. -- Concerned Grandparent

Dear Concerned: There is no rational explanation. These par-ents are irresponsible and idiotic. The orga-nizations or schools that sponsor the sports should issue rules

about parental behav-ior before, during and immediately after the games, and you (or the parents of your grandchildren) should request that it be done.

Dear Annie: My niece recently married her live-in boyfriend. They chose to marry in another country, but didn’t send any announcements or invitations. That’s fine, because it was expen-sive.

When one aunt who could afford the plane fare and hotel asked whether she could attend, she was told “no.” The only guests were the parents. The aunt was deeply hurt. I felt bad for her and

angry with the bridal couple for being so rude. When they returned to the states, another family member asked whether there would be a reception and was told there wouldn’t be.

Now they are hinting for presents. My sister-in-law asked me to go in with her to purchase a rather expensive gift, and I refused because of the way they treated the aunt. My family is angry with me. Frankly, I never want to hear from that niece again. Am I wrong? -- Ex-Auntie

Dear Ex: Yes. The bridal couple can invite whomever they wish, and if they choose a small, immediate-fam-ily-only wedding with no stateside reception, that is up to them. The aunt was wrong to ask for an invitation sim-ply because she could afford it. If they wanted extended family to be there, they would have invited everyone.

For most folks, if you are not invited to a wed-ding, you are not obli-

gated to give a gift. But this is family, and yours is trying to be gracious and happy for the new-lyweds by giving a gift. If you don’t wish to con-tribute, that’s up to you. But please don’t cut off your niece because you didn’t approve of her guest list. At least send a card with your best wishes.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “California Dreamin’, whose husband is over-weight. My husband and I have been mar-ried for 49 years, and he, too, has gained a considerable amount of weight.

I try to cook healthy meals, but my efforts are sabotaged when he adds butter and salt. He has been coun-seled by his physician many times, to no avail. Twelve years ago, he had a massive hemor-rhagic stroke that left him with severe defi-cits. Yet he continues to refuse to do what is needed to be as healthy and mobile as he can be.

He is comfortable sit-ting in his chair watch-ing TV.

This has put an incredible amount of strain on me. I can’t tell you how much time, effort and money has been spent helping him to be more mobile with less physical stress on

my fibromyalgic body. But I love this man with my whole heart. I take our marriage vows seriously, and I cannot imagine my life without him. I will continue to care for him until death do us part. I am not writing for sympathy. I accept my life as a gift

from God, and I accept caregiving as my gift to others. -- Still in Love
