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

Trail council announced this week that the proposed new library/museum will cost the aver-age homeowner $38 annually for 25 years, instead of the previously estimated $81.

The impact on residents (down from $6.75 per month to $3.17 per month) was reduced thanks to a bump in cash from Columbia Basin Trust and re-allocating portions of the heavy industry and business tax.

That's good news for Silver City voters should the referendum pass during the Nov. 15 civic election when a question will be asked, “Are you in favour of the City of Trail enacting Bylaw No. 2781 authorizing borrowing of $6,288,000 for the construction of an integrated municipal library and museum facility?”

Trail council was hopeful the $38 tax increase would be reduced even more with monetary sup-port from Teck Resources.

But in a letter sent to the city a few weeks ago, the company says it's supportive in spirit, but not in dollars.

Teck's response reflects the current resource industry environment, wrote Rob Scott, senior vice president, adding that Teck is in support of the project and views it as a positive aspect of the City of Trail's downtown revitalization.

Additionally, city staff proposed that if a direct contribution was not feasible, then would the company consider paying a lump sum of pre-payment of taxes closer to time of the building construction, should it proceed.

The answer to that was negative as well,See CITY, Page 3

With only 31 per cent of Trail residents casting a ballot in the last municipal election, members of Trail council expressed concern that the change of access at the Trail Memorial Centre (TMC) entrance could deter turnout on general voting day in November.

That day, curbside voting is an option for people with mobility chal-

lenges, explained Michelle McIsaac, Trail's chief election officer.

That means if someone is brought to the voting place

but can't make their way into the facility, he or she can wait in the vehicle and election staff is notified.

"We will bring the ballot out to the vehicle and the voter can mark their ballot from there," she added.

McIsaac reminds voters that

parking stalls at the front of the Memorial Centre can be accessed by driving through the parking lot and around the back of the building.

And it isn’t the only way to cast a ballot for Silver City voters with mobility issues.

Advance voting opportunities will open Nov. 5 and Nov. 12 at the Trail Aquatic and Leisure Centre on Columbia Avenue in East Trail.

Voting stations will be in the facility's multipurpose room from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. those two

Wednesdays. The location is wheel-chair accessible and has a drop off spot at its front doors.

Additionally, special voting opportunities are set for Trail resi-dents living in care facilities on Nov. 14 at designated times.

Eligible electors living in Columbia View Lodge will be able to cast a ballot from 10:30 a.m. until noon that day; Rose Wood Village residents from 1 p.m. until 2:30 p.m.; then the voting booths

Rebecca Leeworthy has a very special tal-ent with paint and a brush.

Since being diag-nosed with Multiple Sclerosis 16 years ago, the Montrose artist and former writer, evolved from painting brightly coloured knick-knacks for fun to stroking oils and acrylics on canvas as a profession.

“When the words wouldn't come to me anymore, I ended up painting garden orna-ments,” she said. “My friend said my colours were great and I should try it on canvas. Now I can pretty much paint anything.”

Leeworthy is one of 15 local artists with works showcased in the VISAC Gallery's latest exhibition that opens tonight from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m.

“Artworks by Members of the Gallery” features an array of unique pieces by painters, potters, fabric artists, mixed media artisans and photographers .The works are available for viewing and sale at the open house and during

regular gallery hours, Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., and Thursdays 10 a.m. until 6 p.m

Leeworthy is show-ing a series of paint-ings with a natural landscape that high-lights hummingbirds and coneflowers – an herbaceous flowering plant otherwise known as echinacea.

“I used irides-

cent paint on the hummingbird wings,” she explained. “So every time you look at it, it turns into a differ-ent colour.”

Leeworthy is a former VISAC board member who until a few years ago, dedi-cated much time to improve the gallery's visibility in the com-munity.

Her chronic disease is energy draining and physically limiting, so now the wife and grandmother works out of her home stu-dio.

After teaching her-self to draw and paint everything from land-scapes to portraits, Leeworthy now passes

her knowledge and natural talent to others in private lessons at her “Art Shack.”

From the outside, her small cedar shed (Art Shack) is quite unassuming. But once the door is opened, the most colourful collection of detailed paintings are front and centre alongside Leeworthy's one-of-a-kind hats and outer wear she crotchets using only natural fibres.

But more than a means to earn money, Leeworthy uses her creative skills as an effective therapy to cope with her progres-sive, chronic and often painful illness.

Some paintings only take 20 minutes from start to finish, but this week Leeworthy was taking her time and working on a piece she is donating to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital’s Health Foundations for silent auction.

“I have commis-sions for both paint-ings and sketches,” she said. “My work is get-ting more popular all the time, but donat-ing to the Snowflake Gala is something I've enjoyed doing for years.”

The downtown Trail gallery has two work-shops coming up by two artists with works on display now until Nov. 12. The first is “Intro to Polymer Clay,” which is a one-day workshop with potter and instructor Wilma Hughes. The second is a fabric arts workshop with Tricia Rasku, called “Make a Felt Hat,” and fea-tures a wet felting pro-cess during a half day instruction.

FROM PAGE 1replied Scott, due to current challenging condition in the resource sector and existing commitments across all Teck communities.

The company’s response is much more subtle than the last time a referendum for a new library was underway in down-town Trail.

Trail Times pulled from its

archives a Nov. 18, 2002 edi-tion of the paper, with a head-line, “Library chair glum mayor says future up to new coun-cil.” A glance through reporter Raymond Masleck’s story reveals that 12 years ago, when the com-pany was still Teck Cominco, not only did it not support the project, Doug Magoon, its gen-eral manager, led a campaign of local business leaders against

the civic complex.At that time, a new library

and city hall were proposed, that Magoon described as “the wrong strategy for starting on the revi-talization of downtown.”

All these years later, the desire for a new 18,000-square foot structure slated for the for-mer Eagles lot on Bay Ave. is up to Trail electors in just five weeks.

The city and committee con-tinue to explore other oppor-tunities for grants, explained David Perehudoff, Trail’s chief administrative office, adding that the outcome depends upon the new federal Building Canada program.

The $8.8 billion Building Canada Fund was established in 2007 to fund projects until 2014.

The fund addresses national, regional and local infrastructure priorities and supports projects designed to deliver a stronger economy, cleaner environment and strong communities

“This project may fit the cri-teria and depending on the final timing of the introduction of the new program, more significant grants could also be obtained for this project.”

City to continue to explore other grant opportunities

FROM PAGE 1will move to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital from 3 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.

Another option, mail ballot voting, is being offered for the first time municipally. Those with a physical challenge that affects their ability to vote during advance or general voting days; or for residents expecting to be absent during those dates can contact the city for a package on Nov. 5. To be counted, the mail ballot must be returned before 8 p.m. Nov. 15.

While the alteration to the TMC’s entrance was made to improve

pedestrian safety, the slope and distance for those with physical barriers remain an ongoing concern for Trail council.

The matter was discussed during Monday’s governance meeting, and included a back-and-forth about parents stopping on the highway and allowing their chil-dren to run through the planted beds to access the building - now that there’s no drop-off point at the facility entrance.

“If you go to a hock-ey game or any other function in the com-plex, the front exten-sion is utilized to the fullest,” said Coun.

Eleanor Gattafoni Robinson. “In the real world if someone is dropping off their child in the middle of the road, then maybe we should be educat-ing the mother or father.”

In a 5-2 vote, coun-cil passed staff recom-mendations to make no further changes to the front entrance to allow a drop-off area.

However, a spot will be designated for emergency vehicles only, signage and painted road mark-ings will be added and city staff will continue to explore ways to improve the function-ality of the Victoria Street parking lot.

With all the tricks and treats on display at the Artisan in downtown Trail, a visit to the store could bring on the gnarlies for anyone who chooses to wait outside instead of shopping within. Fibre artist Marisa LeRose put a warm cap on one poor soul who is forever stuck on the street, because he was too stubborn to join his wife inside the cozy retail space.

Every municipality in the prov-ince is mandated to hold an advance poll prior to the civic election, and this year the date is Nov. 5.

Outside of that regulation, if additional opportunities outside of general voting day are warranted, each community can write those options into a bylaw.

Fruitvale's 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. advance voting will be held in the village office at 1947 Beaver Street.

Additionally, Fruitvale seniors will be taken into account when mobile polls are made available on Nov. 12. Residents of Beaver Valley Senior Citizens Manor can cast a vote when the station is brought to them; then residents at Mountain Side Village can vote opportunity when the mobile poll is brought to their facility that afternoon. Times are not yet confirmed.

The general voting day location is the Fruitvale Memorial Centre

from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. For more information, contact Sera Wilcox, Fruitvale's chief election officer at 367.7551.

Montrose will be hosting its advance polling day Nov. 5 from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. at the village office on 11th Avenue. If that day doesn't work, then there will be two more opportunities prior to the Nov. 15 general voting day. From 8:30 a.m. until noon and from 1 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 13 and Nov 14, advance voting stations will be open. Those days and election day, voting stations will be located in the village office. For more infor-mation, call 367-7234.

All voting opportunities in Warfield will be stationed at the village office's located on 555 Schofield Highway. CEO Allana Ferro reminds voters to bring two pieces of identification when cast-ing a ballot during advance voting on Nov. 5 and Nov. 12, and on gen-eral voting day.

NewsGrowing medical

pot should be deemed an industrial activity — not an agricultural one.

That’s the mes-sage regional district directors are send-

ing to the Ministry of Agriculture, after a special electoral area planning committee meeting Tuesday after-noon.

The board, not including City of Nanaimo directors, came together to respond to the min-

istry’s draft criteria for developing local government bylaws regarding medical marijuana production in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

“It (marijuana) is not a normal agricul-tural product,” said chair Joe Stanhope, who has supported River’s Edge residents in their fight against a medical marijuana facility setting up shop in a Nanoose Bay sub-urb south of Parksville.

“It doesn’t belong

in some of our pris-tine agricultural land.” Stanhope said the ministry is “ignoring completely the social, safety and security problems we could have if these things (medical marijuana facilities) are estab-lished in rural areas ... we’re a long way from the police department and fire department and security would be a never-ending prob-lem.”

Director Julian Fell said medical mari-

juana facilities have a “decidedly non-farm character.” Fell, who represents Coombs/Errington, said the Ministry’s report was insufficient and lacked some of the major con-cerns brought forward by residents.

“We need the abil-ity to address siting issues of the visual and social nature such as site buffers, shielding, proximity to schools, fire and police, exits and road use, impacts on infrastructure.”

T H e C a n a d I a n P R e S SKAMLOOPS, B.C. - A judge has ordered a

British Columbia man to pay $40,000 in dam-ages for sending emails making false allega-tions against a Seattle boat dealer.

The emails were sent during a dispute over defective windows on the man’s yacht.

Ray Prokorym, sales manager at a boat dealership, filed a lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court against Robert Turpin following a ser-ies of emails sent in April 2012.

Court heard that in December 2011, Prokorym sold Turpin a used 19.5-meter for $1.16 million.

After Turpin, of 100 Mile House, B.C., took possession of the vessel, he realized some of the windows were defective.

In April 2012, Prokorym offered to split the cost of the windows - an $11,000 fix - in “good faith.”

Turpin did not accept the offer and instead sent an email to dealership employees, false-ly describing Prokorym as a convicted sex offender.

Turpin also threatened to hang a banner from his boat calling Prokorym a liar.

He eventually sent the email to 23 address-es associated with yacht sales. He never followed through on his threat to send it to Puget Sound schools and churches and no banner was ever hung from his yacht.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Meiklem said the emails established publication of the defamatory claims.

Meiklem ordered Turpin to pay $30,000 in general damages, $10,000 in punitive dam-ages and $615 in costs.

B y B a R R y C o u l T e RCranbrook TownsmanThe Oct. 12 dead-

line has passed, and the forward progress Jumbo Glacier Resort is on hold— at least for the time being.

The environmental certificate for the pro-posed ski resort in the Purcell Mountains west of Invermere was set to expire on Sunday.

And after the E n v i r o n m e n t a l Assessment Office (EAO) released their administrative audit last week, which found the Jumbo pro-ponents to be in non-compliance of their commitments, the certificate will not be renewed pending deci-sion by the Minister of Environment, Mary

Polak. Some of the issues

in question include streamflow, fish habi-tat and water quality monitoring.

According to Robyn Duncan of the environmental group Wildsight, which has led opposition to the proposed resort, that decision isn’t expected any time soon.

“(The EAO) didn’t issue any type of stop-work order, which we would have liked to have seen,” Duncan said.

“It was nonetheless heartening to see they had been in non-com-pliance with many of the commitments we have been highlight-ing throughout the summer.

“As of October 12th, they are no longer allowed to carry out construc-tion work on the pro-ject.”

B . C . ’ s E n v i r o n m e n t a l Assessment Office (EAO) granted the company a five-year environmental cer-tificate in 2004, and renewed it in 2009. It cannot be renewed a second time, unless construction has “substantially start-ed, in the reason-able opinion of the Minister.”

“I’ve been told by the EAO compliance officers that they have communicated very clearly to the propon-ent that they are not allowed to continue on construction — it’s not a formal docu-ment in the form of a stop-work order but kind of normal prac-tice after the environ-mental certificate expires,” Duncan said.

The Minister of Environment is now charged with mak-ing a decision as to whether or not sub-

stantial construction has taken place on this project. Polak was up at Jumbo on the weekend, touring the site, along with EAO compliance offi-cers. The EAO is com-piling material to aid in the Minister’s deci-sion.

Duncan said that decision is not expected to come out until the end of November at the ear-liest.

“But it could well be into the new year until we have that decision. But until that time, until they’ve reconciled and come to terms with that they’re not allowed to do any work that would be considered a substan-tial start.

“What they allowed to do, and have been ordered to do, is work on some of the roads to deal with some of the erosion issues, as well as pulling out two of the tempor-ary bridges they have installed.”

As of press time, representatives of

Jumbo Glacier Resort were unavailable for comment.. However, Grant Costello, sen-ior vice-president with Glacier Resorts Ltd, told the Calgary Herald that the con-struction is still on track — provided the decision by the minister goes in their favour.

The proposed ski resort is a designated resort municipal-ity, 55 km west of Invermere. Jumbo Glacier is planned to be a year-round ski-ing facility developed in three phases at an estimated cost of $450 million.

Bu the project has long been a source of controversy, split-ting public opinion in the East Kootenay, and drawing oppos-ition from environ-mental groups and the Ktunaxa First Nation. The Ktunaxa have challenged the project in court, and are currently in the process of appealing a B.C. Supreme Court decision dismissing that challenge.

LYSTER, HOWARD – was born on Janu-ary 19, 1927 in Edmonton, Alberta and passed away at Talarico Place in Castlegar on October 10, 2014.

He is survived by his wife Audrey; his four daughters; Linda (Archie), Bonnie, Donna (Fred), Jodie (Tom); his grandchildren Kim, Karen, Karl, Steven, Melissa (Michael), Jessica (Ryan); his great-grandchildren Kaleb, Brianna, William, Vanessa and Bodhi; his maternal half brother Bill (June), and pa-ternal half siblings Mervyn and Carol; his step grandchildren Terri, Tom and Calvin; as well as a large extended family.

He spent his youth on the Saskatchewan Prairie where Sitting Bull had ridden after the battle of Little Big Horn. He chased and trained horses and hunted antelope as well as a girl named Audrey.

When he was 16 he traded his horse, ri� e and sea of prairie grass for a Navy Ship, guns and a sea of ocean waves. When he returned from active duty in 1945 he married Audrey. He worked for Cominco in Trail but lived and raised his family in Fruitvale where he was a lifetime Legion member. He continued with his love of hunting, � shing and horses. He shared this love with his family.

He is now riding the hills of Heaven with his mother, brother and grandfather.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Tal-arico Place and Dr. Vasil for their exceptional care of Howard as well as to Dr. Neil and the Beaver Valley Clinic.

Cremation has taken place. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence by visiting the family’s website at www.myalterna-tives.ca Gwen Ziprick of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services has been entrusted with the arrangements.

As an expression of sympathy your donation to either the Canadian Cancer Society www.cancer.ca or to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC www.alzheimerbc.org would be greatly appre-ciated.

An Open House will be held at his home, 2021 Old Salmo Road, on November 11, 2014 from 1 to 4 p.m.

OBITUARIES

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Seniors’

groups and organiza-tions for people with disabilities are joining the Canadian Union of Postal Workers in a planned legal challenge to preserve home mail delivery.

Canada Post wants to phase out home delivery in an effort to cope with a revenue squeeze from falling mail volumes.

The postal workers union said the Federal Court challenge, which has not yet been filed, will argue that doing away with home deliv-ery is a decision for Parliament, not Canada Post.

Union president Denis Lemelin said the agency is too focused on the bottom line and is ignoring the needs of Canadians.

“The reaction was immediate from every part of this country,” Lemelin said. “People - seniors, people with disabilities, the general public - were against it and demand that the door-to-door delivery be maintained.”

The Conservatives are trying to distance themselves from the home delivery issue, the union said, adding the government should be held accountable for allowing the decision

to be made without proper consultation or debate.

Canada Post said it is confident the plan to do away with home delivery “will withstand any and all legal scru-tiny.”

Digital alternatives - such as electronic bills and email - are quickly replacing traditional mail delivery, spokes-man Jon Hamilton said.

“The decision to move away from door-to-door mail delivery for a third of Canadian households was dif-ficult,” he said in an interview.

“We understand that two-thirds of Canadian households today don’t have delivery to the door. But we also understood that we needed to ensure as we make these chan-ges, we were taking the approach and ensure that no one was left behind.”

OPINION

The NDP’s big child care gambleChild care services

often cost more than university at the very moment

many parents are trying to pay down their own stu-dent debts. Add those costs on to housing prices that are nearly double what they were a generation ago and it is no wonder young people are being squeezed financially.

Given this context, the federal NDP deserves credit for committing to reduce the cost of child care to $15 per day, down from the daily rate of $30-plus that is common out-side of Quebec.

As founder of Generation Squeeze, which developed a $10/day child care recom-mendation for Canada, I applaud the NDP for talk-ing honestly about the investment required to lift Canada from our status as an international child care laggard.

To make his party’s goal a reality, Thomas Mulcair says that an additional $5 billion in federal spend-ing is required annually, along with near-matching

dollars from provincial governments.

This honesty is in con-trast to that of former Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin who cam-paigned in 2006 on a promise to spend $5 bil-lion in total over five years. Research showed his promise was insuffi-cient to build a child care and early education sys-tem.

Then-opposition leader Stephen Harper quickly countered the Liberal pro-posal with his own $2.7 billion annual subsidy for the Universal Child Care Benefit, which would pro-vide $100 monthly pay-ments to families with children under age six. While not enough to pay for child care services or to make it affordable for a parent to remain home, it proved to be a politic-ally successful plank in his platform.

The NDP risks walk-ing into a similar trap as Martin did. Because its $5 billion a year commit-ment doesn’t come into full force until the eighth year of its mandate, the

party is attempting to win votes now by promising less than $2 billion in new annual spending for fam-ilies over the next four years.

Prime Minister Harper, on the other hand, con-tinues to support income splitting for families with kids next year, starting with an annual payment of another $2.7 billion.

By the Conservative Party’s own numbers, their latest $2.7 billion annual promise will only benefit 38 per cent of fam-ilies with children.

Couples in which both parents earn similar

amounts won’t benefit, nor will single parents.

A small minority of couples with a stay-at-home parent will save around $6,500 a year from income splitting when the breadwinner earns over $125,000.

These earnings are not enjoyed by the major-ity of one earner couples with kids whose median income is around $42,000 when the earner is male, and $25,000 when female.

With income splitting, these typical families will save no more than $1,100.

When you consider the typical young couple in 1976 earned $65,360, often on one salary, saving $1,100 doesn’t close the financial gap that couples face today compared to the past.

The only way to close the gap is a second income, which generally requires many thousands of dollars in annual expenditures for child care services.

Government invest-ments in child care and early education ser-vices are a more equit-able, inclusive and effi-

cient way to reduce the time and money squeeze on younger generations. This is especially so when these investments are made in combination with additional expendi-tures on parental time as Generation Squeeze rec-ommends.

Generation Squeeze will release a new study this winter showing that Canadian governments added nearly $400 in social spending per per-son age 65+ during the 2014 budget cycle, com-pared to around $66 per person under the age of 45.

If spending increases per young person matched those of retirees, not only could Canadians imple-ment $10/day child care within one election cycle, we could also reduce the squeeze on parental time at home in ways that are more inclusive and fair than income splitting.

Dr. Paul Kershaw is the founder of Generation Squeeze, and a policy pro-fessor in the UBC School of Population & Public Health.

Recently the Trail Times ran a column by Tom Fletcher suggesting that the Canadian Union of Public Employees was running city halls in British Columbia (“Is CUPE running your city hall?” Trail Times Sept. 30).

Mr. Fletcher’s column was based on a shoddy report done by the provincial govern-ment about pay for municipal employees. Despite the fact the report focussed on local gov-ernments, neither Mr. Fletcher, nor the authors of the report bothered to talk to local gov-ernment representatives.

And this isn’t surprising, because Mr. Fletcher and others are promoting a ham-fisted solution (imposing a provin-cial-government controlled bargaining model on locally-elected city councils) in search of a non-existent problem.

Had Mr. Fletcher spoken

to Rona Martin, president of the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM), or even read the UBCM statement, he would have found that the provincial report frequently acknowledges serious limitations on muni-cipal pay data. This includes lumping in compensation for police, fire fighters, BC Ferries and TransLink, even though local governments don’t con-trol compensation for these groups.

It is true that the cost of local government has gone up. As local government represent-atives will tell you, much of this comes from provincial and fed-eral government regulations, rules and required services to be paid by local governments. A recent report from the B.C.-based Columbia Institute, finds that between 2001 and 2010 local spending on sewer servi-ces went up by 173 per cent, on

policing by 134 per cent, and on water services by 130 per cent - driven by either by provincial or federal requirements.

On Mr. Fletcher’s key tar-get – CUPE’s wage settlements – the fact is that over the last decade CUPE’s municipal wage settlements have largely mir-rored private sector settle-ments. And both CUPE and private sector agreements have been lower than the growth in the province’s wealth (provin-cial Gross Domestic Product) and the increase in average weekly wages across B.C.

The authors of the provin-cial government report should clearly have talked to local gov-ernments and examined these issues. As a journalist, it would have been responsible for Mr. Fletcher to do the same.

An editorial from the Prince George Citizen

Among animal lovers, the phrase “put down” is used in favour of the clinical and scientific

sounding “euthanasia.”Talking about “putting

down” a dog or a cat or a horse always has a tone of inevit-ability and mercy attached, in recognition that death is the final culmination of any form of life and that ending pain and suffering is a noble thing.

The phrase is direct, blunt and honest, describing not only putting the animal to death but also the process of letting go of the animal, of putting it down and out of our grasp so it can die in peace.

As Canadians, we can speak so frankly about caring for our pets and livestock to their dying breath but we have no such vocabulary for ourselves.

Anyone who would talk about “putting down” a human being suffering from a terminal illness would be soundly criti-cized for their insensitivity, even though they are speaking about the exact same process (actively bringing about death) for the exact same justifica-tion (to end needless pain and suffering). As the Supreme Court of Canada hears argu-ments starting today over legal-izing assisted suicide in Canada for medical reasons, perhaps it’s time to “put down” the big words and the legal jargon for an honest discussion about dying.

There is actually an expecta-tion in Canadian society for owners to put down their ani-

mals before they suffer too much. Owners that pay large sums for invasive and painful treatments of their sick crea-tures are seen as cruel and heartless for putting their own needs for companionship above the hurt the voiceless animal is enduring. Putting down ani-mals is done out of considera-tion for the animal, not for the saddened owner. Through the tears, parents explain to their upset children that put-ting down the family pet is an act of love, that we are willing to suffer grief in order for the animal to no longer have to suffer pain. Even the youngest of children understand what a noble and worthwhile sacrifice that is.

So why are so many so unwilling to make a similar sacrifice for their fellow human being? How many more times do we have to watch loved ones wasted away by disease, their last days doing something nobody would call living but which seems to be a lot worse than dying? How many more times will someone say “we treat our animals better” as another round of agonizing treatment is ordered with little expectation of extended longev-ity, never mind a remedy for the affliction?

We remain trapped by our excessive imaginations that life is a divine gift, even though we are surrounded by mind-less creatures sharing the same state. We are trapped by our tiny imaginations that life is the greatest form of existence, simply because it is the only one we know. We are trapped

by doctrines that insist living is supposed to hurt, suffering is our lot in life and it is our path to a greater understanding.

We refuse to recognize that the idea of putting down human beings preserves our human dignity, instead of disgracing it. We refuse to surrender control to the hands of the persons doing the living − and dying. We refuse to take responsibility for our own destiny.

It is even better than put-ting down animals because we can make up our own minds, we can say our goodbyes in our own time and we can let go at the moment we choose, which may or may not satisfy the will of our maker, depending on whether we worry about such things. Lawyers, pastors, politicians, doctors, editorial writers and philosophers are free to talk about the abstract considerations of assisted sui-cide but they have no skin in the game because the only life and death anyone is capable of living and experiencing is their own.

Let them talk, write, preach, pass laws, adopt policy, encour-age debate and present papers at academic conferences, so long as none of that takes away from the right a terminally ill individual should have to take their own life, to put them-selves down with the aid of others when they are physic-ally unable. We are willing to put our animals down because we love them and we love life. We should extend the same courtesy and decency to one another in our time of dying for precisely the same reasons.

Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace” (Eph 1:7).Here St. Paul speaks about the redemption that we have in the blood of Christ. The word used here for “redemption” (apolytrosin) has the sense of “ransom price,” that is, the price one pays to ransom a person from slavery or captivity to gain his freedom or release. The price here is the blood of Christ shed unto death on the cross, and it is paid by Christ on the cross to his Father, because we owed the Father a price for our sins, namely the price of our suffering in punishment for them. But Christ paid our price for us with his suffering on the cross, with his blood shed unto death for us, for our sins (1 Cor. 15:3). Christ died in punishment for our sins as our substitute, suffering our punishment for us, instead of us. In this way he ransomed or redeemed us from our sins with his blood.Therefore St. Paul says here, “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses” (Eph. 1:7). Later in this same letter he repeats this same idea, saying, “But now in Christ Jesus you who were once far off have been brought near in the blood of Christ” (Eph. 2:13).In fact, Jesus himself used a word from this same word group when he said, “For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom (lytron) for many” (Mark 10:45). His life given unto death on the cross was the ransom, or the ransom price, that he paid to God to free us from our sins and from their eternal punishment in hell.Writing to the Romans St. Paul says, “Being justi� ed

freely by His grace through the redemption (apolytroseos) that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 3:24 NKJV). That is, we are made righteous (justi� ed) freely, without paying any price ourselves, because of the redemption price that Christ paid for us, for in his death he paid our ransom price to ransom or redeem us from our sins and from their punishment.Then, in the following verse St. Paul says that Christ did this because he is the one “whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness” (Rom. 3:25 NKJV). That is, Christ ransoms us because he himself propitiates God or renders him favorable to us by shedding his blood for us on the cross. This is activated for us through our faith.And this manifests that God is just in freely forgiving us, without any payment on our part, since Christ made this ransom payment for us with his blood on the cross. Christ with his blood shed on the cross propitiates God, or renders him favorable to us, because with his blood he paid our debt for our sins, which is the price for our ransom from them. By doing this Christ manifests that God is just, because our sins were justly punished in him.Furthermore Christ’s death not only vindicates God, showing that he is just (for our punishment has been justly suffered by Christ), but also justi� es us, that is, makes us just and righteous, because our sins have been paid for, and we have been set free from them by his death.And all of this, of course, is at the initiative of the Father himself who sent his Son to do this for us (Rom. 8:32). © Copyright 2007-2009 Rev.

During the Oct. 6 Sparwood City Council meeting, Teck pro-posed building a new settling pond project to filter out water near Aqueduct Creek.

The purpose of the sedimentation pond — which will span 1.6 hectares and reach approximately 1.5 metres deep — will be to treat total suspended solids that

originate from the Elk View mine site and its access roads, accord-ing to Teck representa-tive Rick Magliocco.

The proposed pond will treat flow from both the Qualteri and Aqueduct Creeks and then discharge the fil-tered water back into the Aqueduct Creek.

“The key message here is that the pond will not be storing any tailings,” explained Magliocco, “it’s strictly

for water storage.”Tailings are resi-

due materials that are made in the process of mining that can often be left suspended in water.

The pond system will feature the main sedimentation pond, as well as a smaller control pond that will direct the flow into the sedimentation pond and pass excess flow into the Aqueduct Creek channel.

Teck sought out two viable options for the new pond location. The first proposed option would be on Teck leasehold land between

GN Road and Michel Creek, and the second proposed location is at the old sawmill site, between Michel Creek and the CP Rail tracks.

Teck has stated that the sawmill site would be their favored option.

“The topography was very steep at the first location,” said Magliocco.

“The sawmill loca-tion is the preferred option, it’s the lowest cost option and has minimized impacts on the leasehold resi-dents.”

In order to mask the view of the pond from Highway 3, Teck plans

to plant willow staking along the Michel Creek bank.

The control pond will be fenced to pre-vent unauthorized entry and there will be warning signage placed around it.

Coun. Harold Baytaluke asked, “What will be the expected dredging or mainten-ance of the pond?”

M a g l i o c c o responded that the control pond would need to be cleaned out more often, but the main sanitation pond is expected to only need a clean out once every 10 years.

In the wake of a success-ful road trip and a BCHL Player of the Week honour, the Trail Smoke Eaters will look to keep the puck rolling when they face the Langley Rivermen on Saturday.

The Rivermen are com-ing off a 4-3 overtime win over the Surrey Eagles on Wednesday, and currently hold down third place in the Mainland division with a 4-3-0-2 record.

“They are a good team, they’re right in the mix, .500, and they’ve got some good young players, they recruit well and they are a consistent organization that do a good job in getting the right team together,” said Trail Smoke Eater coach Nick Deschenes.

Langley is led by St. Paul, Minn. import Gage Torrel who has four goals and five assists on the sea-son, and UMass-Lowell committ Evan Anderson, a five-foot-eleven, 180 pound forward who has 10 points on the season. Backstopping Langley is former Surrey netminder Bo Didur who played in six games this season with an impressive

2.78 GAA and a .918 save percentage.

The match up will show-case the best power play unit, against the best pen-alty killing team in the league. Trail leads the BCHL in PP, scoring 11 times in 36 opportunities for a 30.56 per cent success rate, while the Rivermen are the stingi-est on the penalty kill with an 86.54 per cent. However, they’ve also taken the most penalties, with 52 short handed situations compared to 37 for Trail, one of the least penalized teams in the league.

With Jake Lucchini and Charlie Zuccarini in the top-three in scoring, Trail also boasts the most pro-lific offence scoring 4.5 goals per game on average. Nevertheless, the Smoke Eater coach is more worried about the more than three goals per game the team has given up.

“It’s one of those details I don’t key in on,” said Deschenes. “My perspective looks at the other end of the spectrum at the goals we have to keep out of our net.”

Smokies goalie Adam Todd has played well this season, with a respectable

3.14 GAA and a .906 save percentage, and will get the start on Saturday.

“We’ll go with Adam Todd, it’s a one-game week-end so give Brett Clark an opportunity to take some extra shots.”

The Smoke Eaters trail Penticton, 8-1-0-0, in the standings by six points and while they enjoy a game in hand, Trail can’t afford many losses against non-Interior division teams.

“We’re looking forward to the challenge, it’s going to be a good test for us. It’s important for us to do well against the other confer-ence teams so that we don’t lose any ground, so there’s a lot to play for, and a win will put us closer to Penticton.”

The 5-3-0-0 Smokies are in a four-way tie for third spot in the Interior division with Merritt, Salmon Arm, and West Kelowna.

Trail will also be short offensively on Saturday, with forwards Dallas Calvin still out with concussion symptoms, and Robbie Johnson, out with a shoul-der injury.

The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Cominco Arena.

BY TIMES STAFFIt will be a frantic few days of hockey

in the West Kootenay this weekend with almost all rep teams playing on home ice.

In B.C. Major Midget League action, the Kootenay Ice will host the Valley West Hawks out of Langley and Surrey at the Nelson Community Complex.

The Ice would like to extend a modest two-game winning streak against the 4-2 Hawks, who are tied for third place with the Okanagan Rockets and Vancouver Canadians. The Ice moved to 2-4 with a pair of victories over the Thompson Blazers Oct. 4-5. Game time on Saturday is at 9:45 a.m. and 915 a.m. on Sunday.

The Kootenay Wildcats will look for their first win in Female Midget AAA games in Nelson this weekend. The Cats take on the 6-2-1 West Coast Avalanche

at the Nelson Civic Centre at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, and will play two games at the Nelson Community Complex Saturday at 12:45 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

In Okanagan Mainline Hockey Association action this weekend, Greater Trail Minor Hockey Association’s (GTMHA) Midget AA Smoke Eaters host West Kelowna at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday and 10:15 a.m. on Sunday at the Cominco Arena.

The GTMHA Bantam AA Smokies also play at home this weekend as they welcome Penticton to the Cominco Arena at 2:15 p.m. Saturday and to the Beaver Valley Arena at 10:15 a.m. Sunday.

The AA Pee Wees will hit the home ice against Greater Vernon at Beaver Valley Arena at 4:15 p.m. Saturday, and at the Cominco Arena at 8 a.m. on Sunday.

The KIJHL Beaver Valley Nitehawks hit the highway this weekend visiting the Okanagan Shuswap conference with three dates against Doug Birk division teams: Chase, Sicamous, and Revelstoke.

The three-game extended road trip is the first of the season for B.V.’s rookie-laden team and one the players are looking for-ward to.

“We had a trip to Golden and Columbia Valley and it’s just an overnighter, so add-ing the extra day certainly puts more wear and tear on your body,” said Hawks coach Terry Jones. “But we look at it positively. The guys are excited about getting away and being together and in a hotel room and all that other fun stuff so we look forward to it for sure.”

The Nitehawks are coming off a split with the Kimberley Dynamiters last week-end, with a 4-3 win Friday but suffered a 7-1 beating in Kimberley on Saturday. After the win, a combination of injury and overconfi-dence may have affected the young crew.

“There’s no excuses, I think we got wore down a little bit,” said Jones. “Kimberley is a really good hockey team and when you play a good hockey team you have to play

a 60 minute game, but I think we played about a 10-minute game.”

The Hawks were without veteran for-wards Kyle Hope and Sam Swanson, and rookie Hayden Chase, and have been play-ing Jacob Boyczuk on defence to cover for an injured McKoy Hauk. Fortunately, Swanson and Hauk will be back in the line up this weekend and more importantly Boyczuk will resume his forward role.

“We have a couple of minor things but the good thing is we have six healthy ‘D’ now, and that makes a difference. We had Jake Boyczuk playing defence and Jake did a great job but we want him to be playing forward and causing a ruckus up front.”

The Hawks face the Chase Heat on Friday for the second time this year, hav-ing won the first match 6-5 in overtime Oct. 4. The Heat sit in fourth place in the division with a 3-5-1-2 record, three points behind both Sicamous and Revelstoke, the two teams the Hawks play on Saturday and Sunday.

Chase is coming off a big 3-2 win over the league-leading Osoyoos Coyotes handing them just their second loss of the season, while Revelstoke Grizzlies and Sicamous Eagles are much improved from last year.

A s s o c i A t e d P r e s s KANSAS CITY - When the final out was made

on another improbable night, and the Kansas City Royals were headed back to the World Series, Ned Yost stood in the dugout and watched.

He watched as a bunch of young players he’s nurtured for years celebrated. He watched as veterans and journeymen and baseball vagabonds piled onto the infield. And he watched as a fan base that has so often criticized him relished a moment 29 years in the making.

“These kids, from the minute you saw them, you knew they were going to be special,” Yost said. “Their goal was to get here and win a cham-pionship, and today they accomplished that.”

Led by a dynamic defence, an opportunistic offence and one of the best bullpens in the game, the Royals swept aside the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night. With another tight win, 2-1, the Royals captured their first American League championship since 1985.

That was also the last time they were in the playoffs.

“It’s hard to explain,” said outfielder Lorenzo Cain, whose clutch hits and dramatic grabs earned him the series MVP award. “We’re clicking at the right moment right now.”

Now, the Royals will carry an 11-game playoff win streak into the World Series, one shy of the major league record. That includes their first eight this season, something that had never been done in post-season history. Kansas City beat

Oakland in a 12-inning wild-card thriller to start things off, then swept the Los Angeles Angels in the Division Series.

The Fall Classic will begin Tuesday in Kansas City between the Royals and the winner of the NLCS between the Giants and Cardinals. Coincidentally, it was St. Louis that fell to the Royals in seven drama-filled games during the ‘85 World Series.

“I don’t think we’re done yet,” designated hit-ter Billy Butler said.

After the Royals held the Orioles to three hits in Game 3, Jason Vargas and their bullpen held them to four Wednesday night. Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis got the game to Greg Holland, who matched Dennis Eckersley’s record with his fourth save of the best-of-seven series.

Holland got J.J. Hardy to ground out to third base for the final out, and the Royals spilled onto the infield in a wild celebration. Fireworks shot over the crown-shaped scoreboard in centre field, and a blue-clad sellout crowd that included Royals greats George Brett and Brett Saberhagen let out a roar while cars on nearby Interstate 70 honked their horns.

“That’s what you dream of as a kid,” Holland said. “Punch your ticket to the World Series, especially before your home crowd. These fans have been waiting a long time. They deserve it.”

The Orioles, meanwhile, will limp into the off-season after a 96-win season having been swept for the first time in franchise history, a stretch of 21 post-season series.

ALCS: Royals unlikely champion

It is a better start to a season than we have seen in a while, but until

and unless Cominco Arena starts to become Fortress Smokies, we can’t count on any-thing yet from this year’s version of the Smoke Eaters.

Lots of good signs. Trail has won three of four and the current BCHL Player of the Week is local boy Jake Luccini. Two Smokies are in the top 10 in scoring as opposed to none in the top 40 last year, and the team is still very new and improving.

But, it will take a little more than a third-place tie in the division to rouse the troops (fans) so that game days get to be real events even in an event-starved city.

I am on board with hopes for a strong sea-son and playoff hockey. A lot of people are not yet convinced, and with Trail having turned into a city that mostly just wants to support winners (despite all the Canucks, Flames, Oilers and Maple Leaf flags and decals roll-ing along local roads) there is still a need for the team to keep turn-ing good efforts into good results.

Don’t think it will be easy Saturday night, either. Langley has the same number of points

as Trail and is, like the Smokies, coming off a win. Residence in the mainland division is not, as it seemed early on, a guaran-tee of ineptitude. The Rivermen have allowed only one more goal (in one more game played) than Smokies and their scoring has been very balanced, if less prolific (nine fewer goals) than Trail’s.

Still, early season play and, one hopes, home ice advantage, should stand the Smoke Eaters in good stead Saturday night. Just in case - and it is a fairly strong case to be made right now - Trail will become a playoff contender, you should get on the band wagon now. Maybe soon there will again be a band in the rink.

• Meanwhile the confounding MLB playoffs continue. Confounding because all of the season’s best teams are long gone and the also-rans are ruling the roost. If, as expected, the San Francisco Giants

complete their rout of St. Louis not long after I file this piece, two of the apparently worst three post-sea-son teams, teams that edged into the play-offs via wild card spots and scarily-close sud-den death wins, will compete for the World Series trophy this year.

They will be there because they played smarter playoff base-ball, and had a bit more luck, than the, “big,” teams.

The Kansas City Royals, in their first post-season play in 29 years, survived a four-run eighth inning defi-cit in their first game since 1985 and are on an all-time post season winning streak of eight straight games.

The Giants were so bad for three months they went from 10.5 games in front to a six-game deficit on first place, but have lost only once in their play-off run.

How they got there should not matter to ball fans, however, because the way they play has been exciting and surprising. Unless the broadcasts con-flict with the Smokies’ game I recommend you tune in.

Just to get it on the record, I believe the Royals’ Cinderella coach will turn into a mouse-driven pump-kin before it is all over.

FROM PAGE 11“I don’t think you

can base anything on last year,” said Jones. “Everybody seems to be knocking every-body off. There are no easy games . . . and we know we have our work cut out for us, but it should be excit-ing.”

Mitch Foyle con-tinues to lead the Hawks in scoring with eight goals and 17

points, including 10 points in four games prior to the loss to Kimberley, while Trail native Ross Armour has also stepped it up with six goals over that time.

The Nitehawks’ next home games go Oct. 24 against the Golden Rockets and Oct. 25 versus the Creston Valley Thunder Cats at the B.V. Arena with 7:30 p.m. starts.

Dear Annie: I am a 66-year-old male. Six months ago, I lost my life partner, my love of 33 years. I was at “Michael’s” hospice bedside 24 hours a day.

I always thought I had a good relation-ship with my partner’s family, especially his sister, “Josephine.” But a few days before his death, Josephine told me, “You haven’t done anything for Michael!” I was stunned, hurt and angry. I asked what she meant, but she refused to discuss it. I lost it at that moment and told her to leave. Since then, Josephine has barely been in commu-nication.

To this day, Josephine hasn’t told me what she meant by her comment, and I am reluctant to bring it up and cause more fric-tion. Even the doctor said he had never seen anyone fight so dili-gently for anyone as I did for Michael. A friend thought Josephine was upset because I

had total control over Michael’s care, even though I discussed all decisions with his fami-ly, including Josephine. Do I just let it go and wonder forever why she said that, or should I ask her and risk los-ing all communication forever? I am still hurt and sad. -- Grieving in Iowa

Dear Grieving: We think Josephine felt impotent in the face of her brother’s immi-nent death and took out her frustration on you. This was obvi-ously not appropriate, but it is understand-able. She may also feel guilty about it, which increases her need to keep her distance.

Asking her to elaborate on her remark would be painful for both of you, and we cannot promise she will be able to articulate her reasoning. Please try to forgive her without demanding any addi-tional explanation. We hope hospice can direct you to grief counsel-ing. Our condolences on your loss.

Dear Annie: When I divorced many years ago, my daughter was 2 years old. My mother told me never to say anything negative about my ex in front of my daughter, and I never did. But my ex turned my daughter against me anyway. I never received a birth-day card, Father’s Day card or anything else from her, and when she turned 13, she sent me a really nasty letter say-ing I owed her money for a dress.

I was always prompt with my child support and paid for my daugh-ter’s health insurance. Every year for her birth-

day and Christmas, I would write and ask what she wanted. I never heard back. I usually sent money, but never received a thank you. After I mar-ried my current wife (a godsend), I stopped hearing from my daughter and grand-children unless they needed something. I continue to send birth-day and Christmas gifts and don’t let their lack of communication get to me.

All those years are gone and wasted. I just wanted to tell you that not every dad is a deadbeat. I tried. It just didn’t work out. -- Anonymous

Dear Anonymous: We commend you for controlling yourself. These days, Mom’s behavior would be called “parental alien-ation,” and a judge would get involved. But a 13-year-old who lives with Mom is going to reflect her mother’s attitude. It takes a great deal of effort to over-

come that and develop a relationship with your child in spite of Mom’s opposition. Too many noncustodial parents think prompt child sup-port and a birthday gift compensate for limit-ed personal attention. They truly do not.

Dear Annie: I’m

writing in response to “Going Deaf in Michigan,” the 82-year-old woman whose neighbors are fitness buffs and drop 400-pound barbells on the floor until 8 p.m. Perhaps the “athletes” could place thick pads on the floor to muffle

For Saturday, Oct. 18, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Ex-partners, ex-spouses and old friends have been back in your life again. That’s because Mercury is retrograde. Look your best at all times! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your daily efficiency at work has suffered lately due to Mercury being retro-grade. Just go with the flow, because really, you have no choice. Grin and bear it. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Old flames might be back in your life again. Meanwhile, delays and goofy mistakes related to sports events, the hospitality industry and the entertain-ment world are likely. Grrrr. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might have relatives whom you haven’t seen for a while camped out on your doorstep. Mercury ret-

rograde will attract family reunions and get-togethers in your world. Stock the fridge. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Transportation delays and goofy mistakes in com-munication are classic now because of Mercury retro-grade. Double-check all your work to minimize this. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Checks in the mail will be late because of Mercury retrograde. If you are look-ing for a job, try places you applied before or perhaps even where you worked before. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Mercury is now retro-grade in your sign, which will lead to silly, goofy mis-takes on your part, missed appointments and mis-placed items. But note: This is your chance to finish old business. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

You will be successful doing any kind of research now, because Mercury ret-rograde will help you. (Plus, you’re good at research, anyway.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Old friends are on the horizon again, which is nice because it’s good to have history with others. (Sagittarians always water their trap line, because they travel a lot.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might run into bosses and authority figures from your past this month. This could be to your advantage -- or not, depending on your history with them. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel delays as well as delays and cancellations with colleges, universities and technical schools are likely now. But this is a

wonderful time to finish a book or an important paper! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a good time to resolve old disputes about shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances and insurance matters. You can finish old business. YOU BORN TODAY You are inspirational and influential. You are not a typical leader, and yet, you often end up in a position

of influence. You are always forthright. Good news! This is a year of accumulation, and perhaps one of the most powerful years of your life. You will reap what you have sown, because it’s a time of fruition and a good time to buy and sell. Birthdate of: Tyler Posey, actor; Thomas Hearns, boxer; Martina Navratilova, tennis player.
