Workers for DWB Consulting were doing some mapping work for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure on Wednesday. Every four or five years, the ministry commissions a firm to map out the bottom of river ways looking for erosion and any changes to the river bottom. Using GPS technology on shore and on the boat, the process gives a detailed description of the state of the river bed.

Students are back in the classroom and par-ents now have some free time, but what about the costs incurred with kids out of school for an extra three weeks?

Now that the summer-long teachers' strike is over, the province is offering parents $40 per day that children were out of class through the Temporary Education Support for Parents pro-gram, but parents need to apply for the payment.

Rebecca McDonnell, president of the School District 20 Parent Advisory Council, believes that parents who haven't already signed up, definitely should.

“You might as well,” she said. “The govern-ment figures that 80 per cent of parents have already registered, so I feel like if you haven't, you should. The money doesn't go back to

schools. Otherwise, it is just going to stay in gov-ernment coffers.”

McDonnell says, in her experience, the $40 per day, per child should be enough to cover the cost of having kids at home or in daycare for almost an extra month, especially in this area.

“We are quite fortunate in the Kootenays that $40 a day does cover daycare,” she said.

“It probably doesn't in the Lower Mainland, but it certainly does in the Kootenays. With the camps and daycare opportunities that were offered by different agencies, I think anybody who needed care and it was available, the $40 covers that. We are fortunate with where we live in that aspect.”

Students were out of the classroom for 13 school days this year before a deal between the teachers and the government was reached. When the math is done, each student who qualifies (a student in the public school system and aged 12 and under) will mean a cheque for $520 per child.

The Ministry of Education expects payment cheques to be in parents' mailboxes by the end of October.

What temporarily skewered New Brunswick’s provincial election results on Monday shouldn’t happen in Trail in November’s municipal election, accord-ing to the city’s corporate administrator.

The Maritime province encountered some technological setbacks while

counting votes from its automated vot-ing machines after the polls closed on Monday.

While counting votes from remote polling stations, election officials found some of the data on memory cards was unreadable, halting vote counts in the close race between the Liberals and the Conservatives.

While the problem has seemingly been cleared up for voters in the New Brunswick, it begs the question – what if something similar happened in Trail's upcoming municipal elections?

Michelle McIsaac, corporate adminis-trator for the City of Trail, assures that the city is not in any danger of encoun-tering the same issue while counting votes in November.

“There really is no comparison between Trail's municipal election and a very complex provincial election,” she said in an email reply on Tuesday.

“From what I've read, the 'glitch' may have had to do with the uploading of data from memory cards. In Trail, we have a very simple election set-up

This is a hand that occurred at the Kootenay Jewel Bridge

Club.The bidding:

Typically one tries to open their longest suit first. When the lower ranking suit is long-er, one needs an ace above a good opening to reverse the bidding. Here West opens One Spade. South overcalls Two Hearts and West bids Three Diamonds showing at least five Diamonds and a min-imum of ten points.

North jams the bid-ding with Five Hearts and East, perhaps too quickly, bids Six Diamonds. North, the persistent type, bids six hearts and then bids seven hearts. East and West have nowhere to go and double to get their plus.

East and West could still go to Seven Spades, but that con-tract will be down

several tricks. East will have to ruff the opening heart lead and North will have long-er trump. North will ruff in when declarer runs his diamonds and return hearts. East and West do the wise thing and double Seven Hearts.

The Lead: The King of Spades. When part-ner has bid two suits, you lead the suit in which you have the shorter holding against a suit contract and you lead the suit in which you have the longer holding against a No Trump contract.

The play: South ruffs the second round of spades and ruffs a diamond. He plays a heart to his Ace and ruffs another diamond. He plays the last heart in dummy to his hand and draws trump and loses the ace of clubs for down two. Five Hearts is cold with careful play. You can-not use spades or clubs as transportation to ruff diamonds in case West over-ruffs a spade ruff by declarer.

Results: Seven Hearts doubled down two for -300. Seven Diamonds is cold for +1440. Seven Hearts is a spectacular bid. Only one pair were in slam, small or grand, so down three for -500 would have been the next to bottom score. A score of -300 rated highly.

Furniture, appliances, shoes and jewelry sound like items you would find in a thrift shop, not the Columbia River.

Unfortunately, those items were found in and around the river in last year's Rivers Day clean-up. Sunday will mark the second time the City of Trail is hosting the river clean-up to help celebrate B.C. Rivers Day.

Andrea Jolly, communications and event coordinator for the city, says getting the com-munity out onto the banks of the Columbia River allows residents to contribute to the health of the waterway and the city.

“The Columbia River is a vital part of our area's recreational, ecological, economical and cultural environment,” she said. “It is impor-tant to raise awareness of the river's health by inviting everyone out to see, first-hand, what kind of damage garbage, debris and other materials can do when dropped irresponsibly in and around the water. This Rivers Day shoreline clean-up is a great opportunity for residents of the area to show their apprecia-tion for our river and help keep our waterways clean.”

Keeping the Columbia River clean of gar-bage is a priority for the city and Jolly says she hopes the event helps educate residents.

“Because the Columbia River is such a prominent part of our community in so many ways, the City of Trail believes the more educa-tion and awareness around this mighty water-way is necessary,” she said.

Although the Skills Centre had hosted in previous years, Jolly says she hope that the city's second annual river cleanup event will be just as successful as last year.

“Last year, we had approximately 60 volun-teers show up for the clean-up,” she said. “We were impressed with the turnout and managed to pick up 1.2 tonnes of garbage and debris from various shorelines in and around Trail.”

Anyone is welcome to join and it could be a great lesson for families, says Jolly.

“People of all ages will have the opportunity to come and assist with the clean-up and see how important it is to keep garbage and dis-carded items out of our waterways,” she said. “The is a great family event, or an excellent

opportunity to gather a group of friends and colleagues to join the cause.”

Designated Teck and City of Trail trucks will be hauling all the garbage to the RDKB landfill where drop-off fees will be waived.

The city will be providing gloves, bags and instructions on how to sort the garbage and debris picked up and where to leave the full bags for pick-up.

The event starts at the Esplanade in Jubilee Park on Sunday at 10 a.m. The clean-up will go until noon with a lunch and prize draws afterwards.

With the water levels of the Columbia River at a low point, there’s plenty of garbage exposed including this engine block under the Victoria Street Bridge.

FROM PAGE 1It isn’t just parents who can apply

for the payment, but all persons con-sidered primary caregivers to a child in the B.C. public school system, such as step-parents, legal guard-ians, foster parents, host parents for international students, adoptive parents and caregivers under tem-porary custody arrangements.

The government cheque won’t affect any other social assistance a parent or guardian may be receiv-ing, is non-taxable and can be left off an income tax return.

Now that students are back in the classrooms, McDonnell says that parents are telling her that they are happy to have their kids back in school, but there is an unsettled feeling in the air.

“I was at the school (on Monday) and I got a strange vibe,” she said. “It is difficult to say, but I think that the parent sentiment is mirroring that of the teachers.

“They are really happy to be back, but we are unsure of how beneficial

the whole thing has been. “There is so much instruction

time that we are not getting back, but the students are where they need to be.”

For parents, one benefit of the strike, according to McDonnell, is a better understanding of the struggle teachers go through every year.

“I think that now every parent is aware of funding deficits to our education system, whereas before, it was really only a few of us that were fighting at the budgetary table,” she said.

“We saw the cuts year after year and now I think that every one and every parent is aware of it. Knowledge is power and if every-body now has this information, I feel that we are in a stronger posi-tion.”

The voting system currently in use by the city has been tried and tested on three separate occasions with no major problems hindering vote counting.

“We’ve used the automated vot-ing system for the general local elections in 2008 and 2011, and for the recent (bridge) referendum,” said McIsaac, adding that the first time the machines were in use, they were tested against a manual count.

“In 2008, when we used the automated voting machines for the first time, we did some additional testing on a subset of the ballots

to compare the electronic count with a manual count. There was 100 per cent agreement between the results.”

The voting machines used by the City of Trail are the Diebold Accuvote machines, supplied by Election Systems and Software.

Although who will be on the ballot in Trail’s November election remain to be seen, official nomina-tions start rolling in on Sept. 30.

McIsaac assures residents and future voters that the machines are tested before voting stations are opened to the public.

“Prior to each use, we perform testing of the machines’ optical scanners and the memory cards, using the ballots prepared for the election or referendum,” she explained.

The West Kootenay Road Runners motorcycle club is putting on a light through the Greater Trail area on Thursday night.

The club has organized a night ride with a twist – riders will have foot-and-a-half long flash-ing LED light wands on their bike, leaving a rainbow light trail from the Rossland Museum to Haines Park in Fruitvale.

Club president, Ian McLeod says he has participated in an event similar to this in Vancouver and is now bringing it to the Kootenays.

“This is something different that you don't see happen here,” he said. “I was on a ride in Vancouver once where they did this and it was just neat to see if anything.”

Riders who want to partici-pate in the ride rather than just see the sights, can show up in the parking lot of the Rossland Museum in time for the 7 p.m. start. Participants don't even

have to have a motorcycle to join – cars are welcome on the ride as well.

The LED light wands will be for sale before the ride for $10 each, or two for $15 with money going towards other events the Road Runners host.

“This is going to go towards the Rally in the Valley, said McLeod. “We want to raise money for the live music, the games and things

like that. It is a good time.”McLeod says he wants to see

as many people as can make it to the ride.

“It should be a good show and we are hoping to get as many bike out as possible. We bought 300 lights, so it would be nice to get 300 motorcycles, but you never know.”

The night ride starts at 7 p.m. in Rossland on Thursday night.

WHISTLER – The B.C. health ministry is aiming to add up to 80 rural ambulance paramedic positions in small communities by combining their duties with local care facilities.

Health Minister Terry Lake said the approach to maintain rural ambulance ser-vice has been tried for several years, but was hampered by restric-tions in the paramed-ics’ union contract. New contract terms have been worked out with the B.C. Ambulance Service and the ministry is working with other health care represent-atives to develop what he calls “community para-medicine.”

“There are good examples of this in Ontario and other jurisdictions where there are too few calls to have a full-time paramedic,” Lake said in an interview at the Union of B.C.

Municipalities con-vention in Whistler this week.

“When that full-time paramedic is not on a call, they can

be doing things like helping with services in long-term residen-tial care homes,” Lake said.

“They can be going

into homes of people who are on home health support, and checking in with the patients – these are often elderly people who have difficulty

getting around – and make sure they’re adhering to their treatment plan, that their needs are being met, and if necessary make a recommenda-tion that they should have an in-patient visit at the hospital or with a health care provider.”

Lake described the program at a UBCM forum on rural health care, where he dis-cussed the problems of rural and remote health care with local government repre-sentatives.

He said his goal is to add 80 positions over the next 18 months, working with local doctors, nurses and residential care providers.

The ambulance service has struggled to maintain rural and remote service with a system of on-call paramedics paid a minimal stand-by rate, and in some cases maintain full-time ambulance staff-ing in smaller com-munities.

Commissioner Elizabeth Denham says prov-incial government response to access to infor-mation requests is getting slower.

Denham’s latest report says delays in response times for information frustrates those who file the requests and erodes the public’s right to know.

Legislation mandates the government to complete access requests to within 30 busi-ness days, but the commissioner says in the past two years on-time response requests have dropped from 93 per cent to 74 per cent.

Her report, called Backwards: Report Card on Government’s Access to Information Responses, makes seven recommendations to speed up the process, including allowing the public more access to calendars of cabinet ministers and senior public officials.

Denham says the on-time 30-day responses from Ministry of Technology, Information and Citizens’ Services and issues connected to the Ministry of Children and Family Development have dropped from 99 per cent to 52 per cent.

She says she’s also concerned about the government’s record management and the deletion of emails that staff consider short term in nature, and suggests government offi-cials make sure the documents are archived.

B y r I c h A r D r o l k eVernon Morning StarVernon residents

will not get a say on whether amalgama-tion should proceed with the neighbours.

On Monday, a

majority of council rescinded a January motion in principle to ask Vernon voters if the city should pur-sue the creation of a committee to study the implications of

restructuring Greater Vernon governance.

“We’d be asking our citizens to fund a study of a marriage where only person is approaching the alter,” said Mayor Rob

Sawatzky of the oppos-ition from Coldstream and Areas B and C to a study.

Sawatzky also sug-gested that a city ref-erendum in November could disrupt the posi-tive relationship with the other jurisdictions and the provincial gov-ernment won’t fund a study if only one par-ticipant is involved.

“They are clear-ly not willing so it doesn’t make sense to move forward.”

Councillors Bob Spiers and Mary-Jo O’Keefe pushed for the question to be put before Vernon voters.

“I’d like to get a sense of what citizens think,” said O’Keefe, adding that the efforts of the the Greater Vernon Governance Society should be acknowledged.

The society col-lected 3,160 names on a petition calling for a governance study.

Spiers insists that seeking the views of residents in November would provide direc-tion to the next city council on amalgama-tion.

F U R I A K , MIKE – was born on Feb-ruary 14, 1937 in Trail and passed away peacefully at home in Bea-ver Falls on September 20, 2014.

He is pre-deceased by his parents Jozef and Helen as well as his brother Bob Furiak.

He is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Theo and by his two daughters, Nadine (John) Dalla Lana and Coralee (Bran-don) Bryden, his grandchildren Jessica (Brook) Brinson, Jacob

Volpatti, Maddy Ferguson, So-phie Bryden, Jack Dalla Lana, his great-grandson, Blake Brin-son and his beloved dog Roxy.

Mike was known for his quick wit, humble love, sel� ess behav-ior and � ghting spirit. He faced his illness with strength, courage and, of course, humor. There was always laughter to be had... even at his own expense. He never had one moment of self-pity and worried more for those he loved than himself.

Mike spent a lot of time at his most cherished place, Schroeder Creek on Kootenay Lake. He loved to � sh, help around the park, sometimes break things around the park, build fun prizes for the annual � shing derby and

welcome friends over to relish in his wife’s amazing treats. He dreamed of catching “the big one”, the “colossal 25 pounder” that would land him a special spot on the � shing wall. He was unable to catch such a � sh, but the family of friends that encir-cled him had been a much better catch.

A ‘Mike-style’ aka laid back celebration of his life will be held at the Montrose Community Hall on Sunday, September 28th at 2:00pm. Everyone is welcome. Gwen Ziprick of Alternatives Fu-neral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with the ar-rangements.

OBITUARIES

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SF R E D E R I C T O N

- David Alward walked away from the leadership of New Brunswick’s P r o g r e s s i v e Conservatives on Tuesday, about 12 hours after his party was defeated by the Liberals in an election marred by problems counting the votes.

Alward said while he was disappointed with the results of the election, he also would like to see a review of the problems Elections New Brunswick had counting the ballots on Monday night.

“I believe Elections New Brunswick has an obligation to New Brunswickers to ensure that every bal-lot is counted properly and that there is a thor-ough review,” Alward told a news conference in Fredericton, add-ing he will continue to represent the riding of Carleton in the legis-lature.

With a number of close races across the province, Alward said it was important to get the vote count right because the election was decided by about 420 voters in six rid-ings.

“At the very least there certainly should be a review to deter-mine what happened.”

In the middle of the

confusion surrounding the results the night before, the president of the Tory party said a recount needed to be done by hand.

However on Tuesday, Alward tem-pered the party’s response, say-ing Elections New Brunswick is going through its regular post-election review of all the results. That review to look for any irregularities takes four days before pro-ducing the official results.

Alward, 54, becomes only the second pre-mier to fail in his bid for a second term in the province’s history. He won a majority gov-

ernment in September 2010, unseating the one-term administra-tion of Liberal Shawn Graham.

In this election, Liberal Leader Brian Gallant’s party won 27 seats, the Tories were left with 21 and the Greens took one rid-ing.

At 32, Gallant will become the country’s youngest premier.

He declined inter-view requests Tuesday but in a statement said he will meet with Alward on Wednesday to discuss the transi-tion process.

Chief electoral offi-cer Michael Quinn said Tuesday there was a discrepancy

found between elec-tion results that were manually entered and those from the tabu-lation machines on Monday at about 10:15 p.m., so they stopped posting the results to their website.

About 30 minutes later, Elections New Brunswick suspended vote counting for almost two hours.

Quinn said the problem was traced

to a program pro-vided to Elections New Brunswick by Dominion Voting.

“The problem is not with the tabulation machines. They know how to count, they do a good job,” he told a news conference.

“The problem was in one particular pro-gram or process ... which didn’t, for some reason, work properly. We identified it. We

found out how to cor-rect it, so the results on the web are cor-rect.”

A spokesman for Dominion Voting said it remained unclear what caused the prob-lem.

“We haven’t looked into our processes to determine why it didn’t show up in any of the early testing,” James Hoover said.. “Our focus is just to get the results done now.”

OPINION

Scots’ might follow Quebec’s path to ‘Neverendum’

A week ago, the “Kurdistan Times” warned that “the British are exer-

cising the old colonialist tongue to control the minds and dampen the aspira-tions of Scottish people who want to vote Yes (to independence).” And lo! It came to pass just as the Kurdistan Times predicted. The silver-tongued coloni-alists lured the Scots into voting No, and by a fairly healthy margin, too: 55 percent No, 45 percent Yes.

It is, indeed, a much wider margin for the No than the last time a propos-al for secession was voted on in a Western country, in Canada in 1995. In that referendum, just 50.5 per cent of Quebecers voted No, compared to 49.5 per cent who voted Yes.

It was a near-death experience for Canada, in the sense that Quebec bulks much larger in Canada than Scotland does in the United Kingdom. It has almost a quarter of the Canadian population, whereas Scotland has only 8 percent of the UK popu-lation.

At the time, many Canadians thought that the country’s demolition had only been deferred, not averted. It was, after all, the second referendum on Quebec’s independence,

and it was a lot closer to a Yes than the first one in 1980 (60 percent No, 40 percent Yes). Third time lucky, muttered the separatists of the Parti Quebecois. And everybody else assumed that they’d just keep holding referen-dums until they got the right answer.

That was when a Montreal journalist called Josh Freed coined the word “Neverendum” to describe the process, and for more than a decade that was the wheel that everybody in Quebec assumed that they were tied to. But they turned out to be wrong. Almost two decades later there has been no third ref-erendum, nor is there any on the horizon.

Indeed, there was a provincial election in Quebec in April, and the Parti Quebecois looked set to win it – until one of its star candidates started talking about another ref-erendum on independence, and the PQ’s vote suddenly collapsed. A recent poll revealed that 64 percent of Quebecers, and an even higher proportion of young Quebecers, don’t want another referendum.

Could it work out that way in Scotland too? That would be good, because what will probably hap-pen if another referendum

remains a possibility is what befell Quebec: a low-level depression that lasted for decades as investors avoid-ed a place whose future was so uncertain, and existing businesses pulled out. It was not even that every-body knew that Quebec’s independence would be an economic disaster; just that nobody could be certain it wouldn’t be.

The result was that Quebec’s share of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product, which was around 25 per cent when the separatist Parti Quebecois was first elected in 1976, is now less than 20 per cent. That is about $90 billion of lost economic activity in Quebec each year, even though another referen-dum on independence has been a rapidly receding prospect for at least the past dozen years.

How might Scotland

avoid that fate? The only way, really, is for “Devo Max” to work so well, and so thoroughly satisfy Scots’ understandable desire for more control over their own government and econ-omy, that nobody talks about independence any more. That will be more than a little tricky.

“Devo Max” – maximum devolution of power from London to Edinburgh – would leave little else but defence and foreign affairs to the UK parliament in London. Everything else would be decided by Scots, in Scotland, including rates of taxation and the level of spending on health and welfare.

So what’s the problem? Scotland was already more than halfway there before the independence referen-dum. In the panicky last days before the vote, when it briefly looked like the Yes might squeak through to a narrow victory, all three major British parties prom-ised to deliver the other half as well.

But it will be very hard for them to keep their promises, which include placing what amounts to a proposal for a new British constitution before the Westminster parliament by next March. They are starting with three differ-ent versions of Devo Max

for Scotland, and getting to a single agreed version (which also satisfies the great majority of Scots) in only six months is a tall order.

Even more difficult is the fact that Scotland cannot all be given all these powers while the other parts of the United Kingdom – Wales, Northern Ireland and even the various regions of England – stay just the same. There must be at least some more devolu-tion for them too, but that debate has barely started.

What the United Kingdom must do in the next six months, in other words, is design and pass its first written constitution. And it will not just codify existing arrangements; it will radically change them. Meanwhile, the disappoint-ed Scottish supporters of the Yes will be looking for opportunities to claim that the “English” (as they will put it) are reneging on their promises.

So what are the odds that Scotland will escape the “planning blight” of a long period during which a second referendum lurks in the shadows, and the economic damage accumu-lates? Not very good.

I hold our government fully accountable for this strike and how it was handled. They stood by and watched when they could have settled this mess months ago.

The people of B.C. need to ask, “What has this govern-ment done for our children’s education and their future?”

“What have they done for the seniors and health care?”

I fully support our local teachers and all of the teach-ers in B.C. During the strike, I spent time talking to teachers on the picket line to get their feedback.

Many felt they could have had more support from the trustees on the picket lines. They also said they would like to see trustees visit them in the classrooms.

If the trustees took a more active roll in this way, they would see how teachers handle issues that come up in the classrooms on a daily basis. By the way, I did see one trustee up on the picket line.

I’m also concerned about the number of school trustees sitting on the board. You can easily understand this issue when we compare our school district to others.

For example; Kelowna has a population of approximately 120,000 and have seven trust-ees. Surrey has a population of approximately 165,000 and has seven trustees.

Our School District 20, which includes Trail, Rossland, Warfield, Montrose, Fruitvale and Castlegar has a combined population of approximate-

ly 25,000 and nine trustees. Perhaps it’s time to downsize.

I am running for school trustee. I ran three years ago and lost by only 17 votes. I have six grandchildren in the public education system and I care about the future of schooling in this province.

I intend to support public education. I will create a posi-tive dialogue among teachers, administrators, parents and students. I will listen and make decisions in the best interest of our wider community.

Hopefully, we can have a respectful and positive interac-tion between everyone. We will be able to improve our climate in our schools and the educa-tion of our children.

Trustees need to be more involved

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Age, not gender,

is increasingly at the heart of income inequality in Canada, says a new study that warns economic growth and social stability will be at risk if com-panies don’t start paying better wages.

The Conference Board of Canada findings suggest young-er workers in Canada are mak-ing less money relative to their elders regardless of whether they’re male or female, individ-uals or couples, and both before and after tax.

The average disposable income of Canadians between the ages of 50 and 54 is now 64 per cent higher than that of 25- to 29-year-olds, the report found. That’s up from 47 per cent in the mid-1980s.

Conference Board vice-presi-dent David Stewart-Patterson, one of the study’s co-authors, said the economic think-tank was motivated to undertake the study due to a wealth of “anecdotal evidence” that sug-gests Canadian youth are falling behind economically.

“We all know the stories - all our kids getting really good educations but too many of them are still stuck living in their parents’ basements, still in low-end service jobs that don’t really take advantage of

all the education that we’ve paid for,” Stewart-Patterson said in an interview.

“Our report provides some pretty persuasive, quantitative evidence that yeah, there really is a systemic pattern here. These aren’t just stories of individuals - there really is a pattern that’s unfolded over a prolonged per-iod, a pattern which has some disturbing implications going forward.”

He pointed out that top Canadian earners fought for principles of equal work for equal value, yet their children now face lower wages and reduced pension benefits even if they’re doing the same work at the same employer.

The trend is particularly troubling, he added, because as the baby-boom genera-tion moves into retirement, Canadians will be relying on a smaller share of the population to drive economic growth and sustain the tax base that sup-ports public services.

Canada therefore needs aver-age employment incomes to rise, not fall behind, in order to pay for the increasing health-care costs of the baby-boomer generation.

“We are moving into an era where people of working age are going to be increasingly scarce; that should put upward

pressure on wages going for-ward,” he said.

“And yet, if we look at the past 30 years ... the real incomes that are being earned in the workplace by younger workers have barely budged after infla-tion.”

He also warned that before long, the younger generation is going to “get fed up.”

Andrew Langille, a Toronto-based labour lawyer and youth employment advocate, said the Conference Board study con-firms what’s already known: Canada’s young people are fall-ing behind.

“Increasingly it’s clear that Canada doesn’t have a prob-lem with a declining middle-class; rather it’s a problem of income and wealth inequality for younger generations,” he said.“From skyrocketing tuition to the increasing cost of home ownership to the prospect of stagnating wages and precar-ious work - young Canadians are increasingly on shaky finan-cial footing and not able to get ahead.

“Unless politicians get ser-ious about intergenerational equity, this issue has the poten-tial to cause damaging social and economic consequences.

“I really wonder who the boomers expect are going to buy their pretty houses.”

SubmittedInvermere, B.C. –

Thousands of British Columbians do not possess the literacy skills needed to suc-ceed, impacting every-thing from healthcare to employment.

In British Columbia, 40 per cent of adults have difficulty reading a newspaper, filling out a work application form, reading a bus schedule, or under-standing a lease and close to 50 per cent of adults do not have

the skills necessary to calculate a tip, create a budget or understand credit card interest rates.

Even more con-cerning is the fact that almost four in 10 youths aged 15 have insufficient reading skills and 16 per cent of B.C. youths are not graduating from high school. These statistics have serious implica-tions on society, as literacy rates impact every aspect of our lives: healthcare, edu-

cation, crime rates, employment and eco-nomic status.

This month, Black Press and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) are joining forces to raise funds and awareness about the importance of literacy with the 4th Annual Reach a Reader campaign. The campaign will culmin-ate with community leaders and volunteers hitting the streets across the Columbia Basin and Boundary to

distribute special edi-tions of local papers and collect donations in support of commun-ity-based literacy pro-grams.

The Reach a Reader campaign coincides with Decoda Literacy Solutions’ inaug-ural Literacy is Life Campaign; a province-wide fundraising and awareness campaign designed to create a new, modern under-standing of literacy and raise funds to ensure that commun-ity-based literacy pro-grams across British Columbia can support

the people who depend on them.

CBAL’s executive director, Ali Wassing, says “We have been gratified to see the high level of support and enthusiasm for CBAL’s annual partner-ship with Black Press on the Reach a Reader campaign.

“This fall, in tan-dem with the launch of Decoda’s Literacy is Life provincial cam-paign and the hugely successful Raise-a-Reader campaign in the Lower Mainland we look forward to a ban-ner year for literacy.”

Literacy Matters for the Economy- A one per cent increase in literacy levels

would raise Canada’s productivity by 2.5 per cent, or an estimated $32 billion boost to our annual GDP.

Literacy Matters for Health- Thirty per cent of those with high literacy

say they have excellent health, compared to 19 per cent of those with low literacy.

- Researchers estimate that three to five per cent of total health care costs are due to limited understanding about health informa-tion. This translates into $680 million each year in B.C.

Literacy Matters for Seniors- Literacy skills may decline with age due

to health problems and lack of use. Over 70 per cent of seniors have low literacy.

- Seniors with low literacy may have prob-lems filling out pension forms or understand-ing medical information.

Literacy Matters for Immigration- By 2030, immigration is expected to pro-

vide 100 per cent of new labour force growth. - Sixty per cent of immigrants with a first

language other than English have literacy levels below a high-school graduate.

- Over one quarter of B.C.’s population was born outside of Canada.

Literacy Matters for Aboriginal People- Aboriginal students make up 10 per cent

or more of the school population in many school districts.

- School completion rates for Aboriginal people remain below 50 per cent, compared with 79 per cent for the general student population.

Literacy Matters for Families- Reading to children before they start

school helps develop their language skills and their interest in reading and learning in general.

- The children of parents with higher edu-cation levels have higher literacy levels, and much of the benefit comes with high school graduation.

Literacy Matters for Children and Youth- In B.C., one in four children is “develop-

mentally vulnerable” when beginning kinder-garten and one student in five is not complet-ing high school in the expected time.

- Almost four in 10 youths aged 15 have insufficient reading skills.

- In 2008, 20 per cent of Canadian teen-agers aged 15 to 19 were no longer pursuing a formal education.

- The Canadian government will spend more than $2,500 on employment insurance and $4,000 on social assistance annually for each high school dropout, for a total annual cost of 2.4 billion dollars.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVICTORIA - Big and

hairy spiders are per-sistent home invaders every fall, but their reputation for turn-ing up in a favourite shoe or coffee cup and scaring people witless is completely undeserved, says a spi-der expert at the Royal B.C. Museum.

The creepy crawlies, some big enough to fit in the palm of your hand, are not looking for a warm cupboard to camp for the win-ter, they’re looking for love in all the wrong corners, said Claudia Copley, the manager of the museum’s ento-mology collections.

Every time an eight-legged creature crawls across a pil-low or lands on your daughter’s doll house, the spider’s fear factor

expands, she said.But Copley is on

a quest to dispel spi-der myths: they don’t want to be inside your house, they’re not scary and they won’t hurt you.

In fact, Copley, said having spiders in your home should be viewed as a good thing because they hunt down other bad things, like ear wigs and wood bugs.

“People should just think of that spider as doing good work for them, keeping other things at bay,” she said. “There’s a lot of mythology around spi-ders in general. They are not wolf spiders and they are not trying to come in to get out of the cold. They are looking for a mate and they are actually called a funnel web spider

and they were intro-duced from Europe.”

Copley said another common myth is the spider in your bath-tub or sink crawled up through the drain. She said the particulars of plumbing don’t allow this, and the spider has actually fallen into the basin and simply can’t get out because the of the slippery surface.

B.C., with its dense ancient forests and desert-like grasslands is home to the major-ity of Canada’s spider populations. Canada has about 1,500 hun-dred different species of spiders, with about 800 identified in B.C., she said.

Copley believes there are at least another 200 species of spiders in B.C. that have yet to be identi-fied.

She acknowledged that spiders scare people, but all but one species of spider in B.C., including scor-pions found in the Osoyoos area, do not possess a bite that can harm people.

“There’s only one dangerous-to-people spider in British Columbia and it’s called the black widow spider,” she said. “All the rest are harm-less and some are big enough to bite but they are not harmful.”

Copley said spiders have a strange walk that may scare some people, but she down-plays the fear of being bitten by a spider.

“People will handle a kitten with needle-like teeth and be bit-ten by it and survive, but for some reason the spider is the most

terrifying thing they’ve seen,” she said.

Copley said the best way to prevent these unwanted intruders is to make sure all doors have sweeps and all windows have screens,

eliminating the easiest entry points.

She said to remove a spider humanely involves putting a glass over the spider and sliding a piece of paper under the glass

and then placing the spider outside.

Some homeowners, however, are not as compassionate, she said.

“They just might use their shoe.”

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

teenagers seeking to trim body fat and slim their waistlines will yield greater health benefits by combining both heart-pumping and muscle-strength-ening activities, a new Canadian study sug-gests.

Researchers at the University of Calgary and the University of Ottawa led the Healthy Eating Aerobic and Resistance Training in Youth (HEARTY) trial. In the paper, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics, researchers cited the study’s importance was due to the “little evi-dence” that exists on which type of exercise is “optimal” for obese teens.

“ Tr a d i t i o n a l l y , aerobic exercise has always been prescribed to adults, to children because it’s been most studied in the literature and with research,” said study co-author Angela Alberga, a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Calgary. Alberga said their study is the first that has the largest sample to evaluate differences between solely aerobic and resistance training - as well as a combina-

tion of the two - and its effects on teens.

The study recruited 304 previously inactive obese teens between the ages of 14 and 18, 70 per cent of whom were female. Exercise training took place at six community-based facilities in Ottawa and Gatineau, Que.

For the first month, all participants took part in both aerobic and resistance train-ing. Aerobic training involved use of bikes, elliptical machines and treadmills, while resist-ance training referred to use of pulley-type weight machines or exercises using body weight as resistance, such as pushups and situps.

During the first week of the study, teens were prescribed to exercise for 15 min-utes, four times a week at 65 per cent of their maximum heart rate, Alberga said.

For the next three weeks, they gradually increased their individ-ual workout sessions by five-minute incre-ments.

After the first month, participants were divided into four groups: one group that only did aerobic training, one that did only resistance train-

ing, another that did combined aerobic and resistance training and a fourth group that didn’t exercise at all. Each group was mon-itored for an additional five months.

Among the teens exercising, Alberga said they gradually increased the duration and intensity of their activity. Towards the end of the program, those who were active

exercised up to 85 per cent of their maximum heart rate.

Among the groups who exercised, the teens who did so at least three to four times a week had greater health benefits - regardless of the type of training, Alberga said. However, those that did both aerobic and resistance training had a noticeable advan-tage.

Combination of exercises best for teens to trim waistlines, develop healthy habits

SubmittedSALMO – Sutco

T r a n s p o r t a t i o n Specialists have grown over the years from a single logging truck to fulfilling the trans-portation needs for the Pacific Northwest.

Yet despite all that success, the Salmo-based company knows there are bigger chal-lenges in life.

And with that in mind, the company has joined the fight

against cancer in a big way.

Over the week-end at Truxpo 2014 in Abbotsford, Sutco proudly launched its most recent cancer fighting initiative, a beautiful pink 2015 Kenworth T680 called Pink Power.

As their own take on the “Driving Towards a Cure” slogan, this is by far their biggest fundraising initiative to date.

“We have been sup-porting numerous can-cer fighting events for years with the Sutco “Driving Towards a Cure” slogan.” said

Chris Sutherland, president of Sutco.

“Through these events we’ve had a tremendous amount of success fostering awareness, raising funds for research, and supporting those with this terrible disease and their families.”

U n f o r t u n a t e l y , cancer is not just an event; it’s an every-day occurrence for all those affected by it.

In an effort to do as much it can, Sutco has made “Driving Towards a Cure” an everyday campaign.

Over the next three years Pink Power,

will be traveling the highways in Southern B.C. and Northern Washington, Idaho and Montana. Every kilometer traveled will generate funds for the Canadian Cancer Society.

This campaign will raise approximately $70,000 over three years with sponsor-

ships from Atco Wood Products, Inland K e n w o r t h / P a r k e r Pacific, Interfor, Kaltire, Kenworth, Magnum, Tolko, Tycrop, and Zellstoff Celgar all of which are contributing one cent for every kilometre travelled by Pink Power.

“We’re excited to

unveil Pink Power at Truxpo, this is a big day for Sutco and our ongoing effort to help find a cure for a dis-ease that has touched us all.

“Having a pink truck in a sea of green (Sutco’s com-pany color), will turn some heads and not only raises awareness

for a great cause, but is also a reflection of the kind of company we and our corporate sponsors are,” said Sutherland.

With our spon-sors generous support we can together help those with this dis-ease and the families who love and support them.”

Kootenay Lake:The hot summer made for some of the

warmest water temperatures we have had in years. This warm water also affected our fishing.

July was still pretty good on the lake for rainbows up to 10 pounds and bull trout up to 12 pounds.

Early August saw some good mor-nings of fishing for Kokanee and small rainbows and by mid-August, the fishing did slow down, but we still managed a few fish each day.

Now that September is here and the nights are cooler, our water temperatures are dropping fast. This is starting to wake fish up. We have had some good days with more than 10 fish to the boat lately. Rainbows up to 12 pounds have been caught and should continue as the water cools. Our favorite time is coming up.

As the water cools, the fish will become more active and begin to feed heavily. October, November, December are our favorite months of fishing. So, let’s get ready for another fantastic fall.

Columbia River:The river came alive in July and

August and continues to be great fishing in September. Once the hatches started, the dry-fly fish-ing was phenomenal. Fly-fishing remained great throughout the summer and still the past couple weeks have produced some nice fish.

September is usually a good month not only for rainbows, but also for walleye on the River.

Looking forward to the next month of fishing out there. Spin casting, fly fishing, or trolling can be very rewarding at this time of year.

What are they biting on?The lake is beginning to produce some

decent fish using bucktail flies on the choppy days, and on the calm days, we have had good success on our Lyman plugs and Apex Lures.

Colour choice for flies right now are: grey and white, brown and white, and green and white. Lucky numbers for the bucktails are: 210, 221, 226, 227.

Productive Lyman plugs are black and white, green and white, blue and white. Lucky numbers: 10, 16, 69, and 98, 101.

The river has been producing some great days using hopper patterns or stimulator for dry fly fishing.

Nymphing has been productive also using floating line and indicators.

Also, spin casting with spoons or spin-ners has been working well. Also, the usual three-way rig on the bottom with a worm is producing.

The next couple months are our favor-ite. So, let’s get out there!

The Trail Historical Society (THS) has an opportunity to add a rare gem to its rich collection of Trail Smoke Eater mem-orabilia and is hoping local businesses and individuals will help out.

Montreal’s Classic Auctions is adver-tising an authentic 1937-42 Trail Smoke Eaters game-worn wool jersey attributed to Roy Bentley that will go up for bid as part of a collection of 50 vintage jerseys set to hit the docket next month.

“It’s very high-end stuff,” said THS presi-dent Jamie Forbes. “The majority of it, probably 98 per cent, is hockey, and a lot of that is NHL stuff.”

While the auction house seems uncertain as to the jersey’s exact date and provenance, some sleuthing by THS museum and archives director Sarah Benson discovered the jersey was more likely worn by Roy’s younger brother Wyatt “Scoop” Bentley who was player-coach in 1941-42 for the Smoke Eaters, their only season in the Alberta B.C. Hockey League (ABCHL).

“We know there was no Bentley on the ‘37-38 team or the ‘38-39 team,” said Benson. “In ‘37-38 they won the Allan Cup, ‘38-39 was the season they went to the worlds. We were actually able to nar-row that down and we found the (Trail Times) newspaper clipping in ‘41 where Wyatt “Scoop” Bentley was hired to act as player-coach for that season, and he was only here for one season.”

Scoop Bentley is one of six brothers of the famed Delisle, Sask. hockey family that included NHL Hart Trophy winner Max Bentley and brother Doug. Both Doug and Max won NHL scoring titles with the Chicago Blackhawks, and Max would go on to win four Stanley Cups with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Scoop did not play in the NHL but had a successful senior hockey career with the Seattle Ironmen of the PCHL from ‘44-48 and Spokane Flyers ‘49-52 of the WIHL.

In his lone season in Trail wearing the No. 16 orange-and-black, Bentley played alongside the ‘father of Czech hockey’ Mike Buchna and Larry Kwong, the first Chinese-Canadian to play in the NHL, but World War II put an end to the ABCSL and delayed play until after the war.

The Smokies’ sweater is now one of a long and distinguished line of his-tory offered in the auction, including: 1960s Toronto Maple Leafs jerseys worn by George Armstrong and Tim Horton, 70s Boston Bruins jerseys game-worn and signed by Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, and Gerry Cheevers, a Montreal Canadiens John Ferguson jersey, and the more con-temporary Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle, and Taylor Hall Edmonton Oilers’ rookie sweaters.

“It just proves how the legacy that this team (the Smoke Eaters) and certainly that image has left on hockey nationwide and internationally, so we’ll see what happens,” says Benson.

In Classic’s 2011 auction, the THS took a shot at an iconic ‘61 Team Canada World Championship jersey worn by Smoke Eater Jackie MacLeod, but could not keep up with the bidding, as the arti-

cle eventually sold for almost $10,000 after auction fees. Forbes doesn’t expect the ‘41-42 jersey to be as high, but the THS is hoping to have enough funds on hand to be competitive in an uncertain market.

“We are just looking for some support in the community. We have no idea, this thing could go for $800, it could go for $5,000,” said Forbes. “All it is right now is a commitment. We don’t want money, we’re just trying to build up a bit of a fund here because we don’t know what the competition is going to be, but I think we’re pretty much focused this time on buying it.”

The iconic image of the Cominco smoke stacks (with smoke), its condition, unique origin, and historic WWII era team makes this Trail Smoke Eaters jersey one of the rare finds and the THS would like nothing more than to bring it home.

“We see it as an integral part of our Trail Smoke Eater history,” added Benson. “We do have one ‘39 jersey but really that’s it, that era, especially wool . . . It’s just one of those things we’d love to get our hands on, and it belongs here back where it was made and it was played, and I’d hate to see it in a private collection.”

Referees & Timekeeper Wanted!

BY KEVIN MITCHELLVernon MorningStar

Mark Ferner shook players’ hands and had quick one-on-ones in between fast-paced drills Monday afternoon at Kal Tire Place.

The new head coach of the Vernon Vipers didn’t even know who his captain was as he began his second tour of duty with the B.C. Hockey League team.

President and governor Duncan Wray, who hired Ferner in 2007, announced he had done it again earlier Monday. It was perhaps the worst-kept secret in local Hot Stove Leagues.

“It’s a unique sitation because I don’t know the players and they don’t know who I am or what I’m all about so we’re going to grow together,” said a beaming Ferner, 49, who inherits a young team with 16 new faces.

“It’s gonna be a fun year with some ups and downs. Practice is where we’re gonna get better. We just kept things simple today, but tommor-row, we’ll start working on systems and by the time Friday rolls around, we’ll be a better team. I told them we’re going to have some long days here.”

Speculation of a second stint in Vernon — where Ferner led the Vipers to three consecutive

Fred Page Cup championships and two consecu-tive Royal Bank Cup titles between 2007 and 2011 — began on Sept. 8 when Jason Williamson vacated his post as head coach/GM, citing per-sonal reasons.

Walking back into the Viper locker room brought back fond memories for Ferner, also named director of hockey operations.

“It’s a special place no question about it. It’s a different feeling when you’re the coach and you walk in the room and address the players.”

Ferner, hired as head coach of the Everett Silvertips in July of 2011 and fired in January of 2013, joined the Blazers as an associate coach in August 2013. He started this WHL season along-side head coach Don Hay.

“I wanna coach,” said Ferner. “The situation in Kamloops was good, it really was, working with Donny. But in all reality, there was no chance of me being a head coach there which I understand and I accepted. Craig Bonner and I had that dis-cussion and he agreed.

“Whenever you get an opportunitity to come to a place like Vernon that has such a good repu-tation and one of the, if not the best Junior A pro-grams in Canada, and you have a house here too, it made a lot of sense on a lot of different levels.”

The Retirees Club closed out the season on the weekend with its annual Red-White-Blue Team Scramble that ended with two teams tied with scores of 6-under par 66. But it was the team of (from left) Bruce Hadley, Jamie Pipes, John Kim, and John Lattanzio that won the tie-breaker over the runner-up team of Merv Olson, Dan Horan, Al Holm, and Norman Moll.

RETIREES GOLF

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

When Jordan Spieth helped the United States win the Junior Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in 2010, he knew he’d have little chance to play in the real thing on the same course four years later.

“I would say, at that time, I thought it would be a million to one,” he said Tuesday.

Those odds appeared just as long at the start of 2013. Spieth had dropped out of the University of Texas in the hope of turning pro, but had

no status on any tour.However, within

a year, Spieth had assured himself a PGA Tour card, won the John Deere Classic, played as a captain’s pick in the Presidents Cup and was heralded as one of golf’s next superstars. Securing a place in Tom Watson’s Ryder Cup team was a natural next step.

Now he’s back in familiar territory at Gleneagles, staying in the same team room and playing table ten-nis like four years ago. Yet there are a few dif-ferences.

“The way it’s decor-ated,” said the 21-year-old Spieth, before add-ing with a smile. “And the open bar.”

The PGA Centenary course has been modi-

fied since 2010, too, but Spieth recognized the layout and some of the shots he hit in the Junior Ryder Cup when he practiced Monday and Tuesday.

Spieth is one of three rookies aiming to regain the Ryder Cup for the Americans in Scotland this week.

Playing in the Presidents Cup, where he won two points in four matches, gave him a feel for the dynamic of a team event. Five of his teammates at Gleneagles played at Muirfield Village, including Matt Kuchar - a likely partner this week.

“All the free stuff you get, just every-thing that comes with it off the course was such an eye-opening

experience,” Spieth said. “Now, having done that, I feel like I’ve been more focused on my golf this week and tackling the course and tackling the matchups.”

Spieth, whose name was spelled incorrect-ly on the practice range Tuesday, shared the 54-hole lead at the Masters and The Players Championship this year. His ranking rose to as high as No. 7 after the Master

But his form has tailed off, with only two top-10 finishes in his last 13 starts.

Spieth said play-ing at the Ryder Cup - his favourite event along with the Masters - could invigorate his game, along with play-ing with Kuchar.

Dear Annie: I notice that often the advice you offer is to “get counseling.” But what happens in counseling? Can you explain how it helps? -- L.

Dear L.: The point of counseling or therapy is to help you deter-mine what it is you want to accomplish and how to get there. This could be a career goal, a marital dispute, a problem with family members or anything that is causing diffi-culty for you and that you cannot resolve on your own. A good counselor/therapist will help you set appro-priate goals and work with you to achieve them. Counselors (e.g., psychologists, licensed social workers) are gen-erally well trained and licensed. Therapists (e.g., psychiatrists and psychoanalysts) usually have additional train-ing and can prescribe medication.

When choosing someone to see, we recommend getting a

referral through your physician, a friend or relative, or an accredited licensing association such as the American Psychiatric Assn. (psych.org), the American Psychological Assn. (apa.org) or the National Association of Social Workers (social-workers.org). It may help to find one who specializes in your particular problem. Not all counselors will be a good match, and it may require a ses-sion or two before you decide whether you are comfortable with this person or need to find someone else.

When you first see the counselor/ther-apist, you may be

asked what you wish to accomplish or what you want to work on. Some problems can be resolved in a few ses-sions, but more com-plicated ones can take longer. It is important that you be totally hon-est with the counsel-or, as anything else is a waste of your time and money. And if the counselor makes sug-gestions, do the work. Nothing will change if you don’t make the effort.

Dear Annie: Our daughter is getting married soon. We have paid for all the usual services at a wedding, but we have a question about the photograph-er and the disc jockey.

Both of these people own their businesses. These owners will be the ones providing the services at the wedding, with no other employ-ees present. Some people say we should tip them for their time and services. We feel that since they own their businesses, their

profit includes their tip. Right or wrong? -- To Tip or Not To Tip

Dear Tip: You do not need to tip the owners of the photography stu-dio or the disc jockey who is self-employed. They don’t expect to be tipped. However, should they go above and beyond what you hired them for, you may wish to add a gra-tuity as a way of saying “thanks.”

Dear Annie: The let-ter from “Very Blessed, But Hurt” expressed bewilderment that she was not named in her mother-in-law’s will, despite she and her mother-in-law having a close and wonderful relationship.

I’m a retired lawyer who wrote many wills over the years. I hope this dear lady listens to your advice that she should not feel slight-ed. Her mother-in-law’s will sounds pretty stan-dard to me. The testa-trix leaves her estate to her son and, should her son not survive her,

then to the son’s chil-dren. Most wills that I wrote went along those same lines.

Perhaps “Blessed” herself comes from a family in which testa-tors name everyone they love, but my own experience is that such a tradition would be far

from the norm. Many people, when planning the disposal of their estates, work hard not to let emotions impinge on what they view as a simple busi-ness transaction, and they bequeath scrupu-lously equal amounts to both the faithful,

favorite child and the black sheep who dis-owned the family dec-ades ago. -- Voice of Experience
