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

The former Movie Gallery locale in downtown Trail is a flurry of activity with work-ers readying the space for the upcoming grand open-ing of a new drug store later this month.

Ferraro’s Pharmasave, currently located in the gro-cery store, will soon make its move just a few doors down into the renovated building.

Pharmasave will be expanding its services to include home health care products, such as walkers, lift chairs and bathroom safety equipment. The store will also be stocking a wide range of natural and organ-ic products, including Sisu vitamins, a high quality nat-ural health product.

Lee Boyer, pharmacist and partner in the store, is passionate about starting pharmaceutical compound-ing, a service not available in the previous store.

“There are some patients who don’t respond to trad-itional methods of treat-ment, and compounding is about solving these sorts of problems,” he said.

The 7,000-square-foot historical building, locat-ed on the corner of Cedar Avenue and Eldorado Street, was updated into a ‘green’ space.

The décor includes mod-ern eco-friendly LED light-ing, and a reconditioned terrazzo floor that was ori-ginal to the landmark site.

“The floor is original and dates back to the 1950’s when the Hudson Bay store was in here,” explained Danny Ferraro, a partner from Ferraro Foods.

Tim Moorhead, also a partner in the business, recently moved back to

Trail, after leaving in 1986 for Vancouver.

After a career in the offices of Pharmasave Pacific, Moorhead is look-ing forward to working for himself, almost right back to where he first began.

“When I was a kid, I worked for my uncle right across the street from here, when it was Western Drug Mart.”

Boyer, a graduate from

L.V. Rogers Secondary School in Nelson, left the Kootenays to study at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., where he earned his B.Sc. Biochemistry degree.

After Boyer received his master’s degree in Biochemistry from McGill University in Montreal, he began a career in science and research.

“I wanted to move back

to B.C. with my wife and start a family,” he said.

“Research was very inter-esting, but I wanted a career change.”

After graduating from the UBC pharmacy program in 2007, Boyer began work-ing at Ferraro Foods.

“My patients continually express their appreciation for my involvement in their care, and that motivates me to do better.”

Boyer and partners are looking forward to having more space to work in, and are taking this opportunity to create a new, different and special environment for their customers.

“Currently the pharmacy is breaking at its seams, more and more people are visiting the pharmacy, and we are running out of space to store medications and to consult with our custom-ers.”

Boyer hopes to use the extra space to give educa-tional seminars to the pub-lic and host guest speakers.

“My goal is to educate the community in different and unique ways, and fos-ter the discussion of health care issues, and the sharing of experiences.”

James Ferraro is hope-ful that the new store will add to the revitalization in downtown Trail.

“Our company believes in the great opportunities that downtown Trail has to offer. We hope that other business will join in to create a more diverse shopping experience in our city’s core,” com-mented Ferraro.

The extra space that Ferraro Foods will soon have will be put to tasty use.

Once the pharmacy has moved, Ferraro Foods will be adding a new feature to the foodie shopper’s list.

“We are going to use that space to expand into a full service imported cheese section.”

With its targeted opening date less than two weeks away, the La Nina home-less shelter project finally received word Monday of its funding from the B.C. Housing Organization.

And with evening temperatures dropping and winter creeping in, the funding came just in time for the proposed Nov. 19 open-ing.

For the 2012 season, the homeless shel-ter is approved for $50,000, said Keith Simmonds, diaconal minister from the Trail United Church.

“Once again, we need to establish a base-line of what the needs are,” he explained.

The process to receive the funds involves filling out daily reports and submitting them to the government, detailing how many patrons have used the shelter. Based on this information, BC Housing issues a bi-weekly cheque to cover the costs of housing the needy each night.

Now that money is secured, the shel-ter, located in the basement of the United Church on Pine Ave., can open on its mid-November date and close at the end of March.

The church will open a six-bed shelter, with the expectation that at least four beds will be filled nightly, as in the 2011 season.

“We will be open from 9 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. every day until the end of the season. We are hoping each person will be in the hands of an outreach worker by then, with a plan for the rest of the day.”

This year, Career Development Services (CDS) took the reins and is working in part-nership with the United Church.

“The relationship with CDS only makes sense. They have a homelessness outreach worker program, and working knowledge of the community,” added Simmonds.

He stressed that most of the people requiring a bed are host to very complex situations.

“There is usually a medical health diagno-sis, which may include mental health issues, or even brain injury. The CDS have workers to help tackle these difficult situations.”

Repeated calls to the CDS were not returned by press time. CDS provides sup-port, assistance and advocacy to persons who face significant barriers to employment.

TRAIL –The Rotary Club of Trail, like many other service clubs in the world, may be dimin-ishing in numbers, but it hasn’t diminished in enthusiasm.

Along with Rossland, Beaver Valley, Waneta Sunrise and some 32,000 other Rotary clubs in the world, the Trail club continues to battle against Polio.

“We don’t think of Polio as a threatening disease anymore,” said Trail Rotary president Lana Rodlie. “Mine is likely the last generation to actually remember people being afflicted with Polio.”

In Canada, Polio was one of the most feared childhood diseases of the 20th century. In the 1950s, it closed schools, emptied streets and banned children under 16 from entering many public places.

“I had an aunt who suffered from Polio as a child. It left her with a deformed hand and an arm that she couldn’t lift above elbow height. Hopefully, it is one disease we don’t have to worry about our grandchildren contracting.”

Many younger Canadians have never heard of this paralyzing disease that deforms limbs, and in the most severe cases, can cause death by asphyxiation. The last case in Canada was as late as 1977. The next case could be but a plane-ride away.

In the fight to finally eradicate Polio from the entire world it’s a fine line between a leader and a bystander. Canada has always been a leader in this fight – a Canadian invented the Polio vac-cine; Canadians eradicated the disease from our country; and we’ve helped eradicate it from all but three countries in the world: Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria.

Last year, Rotary celebrated India’s complete freedom from Polio.

Thankfully, the Canadian government has shown leadership in the effort to eradicate Polio by agreeing to match Canadian Rotarian and Canadian Rotary Club donations to Polio through the Rotary Foundation.

The (Bill & Melinda) Gates Foundation will also match donations 1:1.

Between now and March 31, 2013 – there is an opportunity to access $2 for every $1 donated. Hence each dollar multiplies into a $3 donation, with the potential to inject up to $3 million towards this winning effort.

This global initiative has other partners working as diligently: WHO (World Health Organization), UNICEF, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and dozens of other countries stand beside Rotary.

Rotarians are urging everyone to spread the word; learn about Polio; talk about Polio; and donate at http://www.endpolio.org/

“Everyone in our community can be part of history as we work together to eliminate the final one per cent of polio cases worldwide.”

Rodlie urges everyone to support the Trail, Waneta Sunrise, Beaver Valley and Rossland Rotary clubs in their efforts to raise money to eradicate this terrible disease.

To get involved, please contact Rodlie at 368-9227 or the Trail Rotary website at www.trailrotary.com

Logs washed up on the banks of the Columbia River were sectioned off for firewood by several industrious Trail residents who meant business and had a flat deck trailer on hand to extract as much of the wood as they could.

who need long term help are our own folk, and not just sent here for affordable living. In fact, they are all our own folk,” said Simmons.

The La Nina Extreme Weather Emergency Shelter opened for the first time in 2010, from Feb. 1 to March 21, opening 37 times on the nights when the temperature dropped below freezing.

At the start of the program, the

shelter was in the basement of the Salvation Army Church in East Trail. The location was an issue as most of the marginally housed indi-viduals spent their time in down-town or in West Trail.

In 2011, the committee, spon-sored by the Trail United Church, secured over $55,000 from BC Housing to keep the shelter open from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m., from mid-November to the end of March, regardless of the weather forecast.

A school in Bountiful, near Creston, with links to jailed polygamist leader Warren Jeffs has abruptly closed its doors, with most of its students now relying on home-schooling in a com-munity that has long been accused of using classrooms to indoctrinate chil-dren rather than educate them.

Bountiful Elementary-Secondary School shut down without explanation in September, the province’s Education Ministry confirms, and nearly all of its former students are being home-schooled. The school, which received provincial funding for some grade levels, had an enrolment of 265 students last year.

Bountiful is a small commune of about 1,000 people not far from the U.S. border. Residents follow a fundamental-ist form of Mormonism, which, unlike the mainstream Mormon church, con-dones polygamy as a tenet of the faith.

Bountiful Elementary-Secondary School was one of two schools in the community, which itself is split into two divided factions.

The school was controlled by the

faction that remains connected to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or FLDS, and its jailed leader Warren Jeffs.

The FLDS side of the community is considered more extreme and iso-lated than the faction led by Winston Blackmore, who split with the church a decade ago.

Blackmore’s school, Mormon Hills School, remains open with an enrol-ment this year of 178 students, accord-ing to the Education Ministry. Unlike Bountiful Elementary-Secondary School, Mormon Hills receives the high-est level of government funding avail-able to an independent school and is certified to grant high school diplomas.

Education in the community came under scrutiny during a high-profile trial in late 2010 and early 2011 that examined Canada’s polygamy law. The trial heard evidence of declining enrol-ment at both schools, particularly at higher grade levels. Statistics presented in court indicated few students finished Grade 12 and even fewer received high school diplomas.

The trial also heard testimony from former Bountiful residents, who recalled

being taught religion for several hours each day at the FLDS-run school, where boys were told to treat girls as “danger-ous snakes.’’

When reached by phone, the school’s former principal, Guy Oler, declined to comment on the closure.

The Bountiful Elementary-Secondary School Society, which ran the school, informed the provincial government in September that it wouldn’t be open this year, said Education Ministry spokes-man Scott Sutherland.

He said the society didn’t provide an explanation, nor was it required to do so. The ministry and the local school district immediately began meeting with Bountiful school administrators and parents to ensure they knew they were required to register the children elsewhere.

“It came as a bit of a surprise to the ministry,’’ Sutherland said.

Sutherland said most of the students are now enrolled in a local home-school-ing program known as Homelinks, which connects parents and children with certified teachers who work with families to craft an educational program for each student.

The fire that levelled the former Tembec planer mill in Cranbrook late Thursday night, has been deemed not suspicious by nature.

The City of Cranbrook said in a press release that investigators indicate that the cause of the fire is undetermined but not suspicious.

Work Safe BC arrived on scene Friday mor-ning and wrapped up the investigation later that day.

Flames broke out in the long-closed mill just before 10 p.m. Thursday night.

The City of Cranbrook said 18 firefighters responded to the blaze through the night with two fire trucks and the city’s ladder truck.

“Their response is always very quick,” said Chris Zettel, corporate communications offi-cer with the City of Cranbrook.

Zettel told the Townsman the firefighters realized early on that they would not be able to save the building and instead moved on to saving some heavy equipment that had been left on site during the clean-up process.

“If there’s a positive, that would be the positive,” Zettel said.

Mayor Wayne Stetski toured the site but Zettel said the rest of the efforts would be left to Tembec, the company that owned the 36-hectare property.

Tembec closed the sawmill at the site in 1998, the planer was shuttered in 2010 and the kilns were permanently shut down in May.

Fortis BC will be upgrading its electrical infrastructure along Highway 3 between Grand Forks and Christina Lake until December.

Tracy Tang, corporate communications adviser for Fortis BC, explained that Fortis BC and contractors are doing maintenance work to upgrade the existing electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure between the Christina Lake and Grand Forks substations.

“The crews are replacing the old power poles and broken cross arms,” she said. “The work is being down to ensure that the safety and reliability is there for the electricity cus-tomers in the area.”

Tang noted that upgrades aren’t done every year, but whenever it is required.

“With infrastructure, you have to assess it and see how it’s performing,” she said. “It can be prone to storm damage, high winds, and all sorts of factors that wear down the infrastructure.”

Approximately 40 poles are scheduled to be replaced, Tang noted, with no service dis-ruptions expected.

V e r n o n M o r n i n g S t a rTwo people have

been arrested almost four years after a Shuswap murder.

RCMP investiga-tors arrested a man and a woman in con-nection with the 2008 murder of Tyler Myers, 22, whose body was

found in the yard of Salmon Arm’s Bastion Elementary School on Nov. 21, 2008, dead from a gunshot wound.

Two individuals were arrested in Vernon and Salmon Arm Monday.

“Investigators from the RCMP Unsolved

Homicide Unit have identified and arrested a man and woman that we believe are respon-sible for Tyler Myers’ murder,” said Insp. Gary Shinkaruk,  with B.C. RCMP’s Major Crime Unit.

“As we approach the four-year anniver-sary of Tyler’s death we are pleased to say that those responsible are now facing criminal charges.”

Because the mat-ter is now before the courts, police are say-ing very little about the investigation.

However, RCMP confirm that Myers knew the two accused, and said the incident was not a random attack.

Police did not say which of the accused was arrested in Vernon.

The now 20-year-old man and 21-year-old woman, both from Salmon Arm, have been charged with first degree murder but can’t be named as they were young persons as defined by the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) at the time of the offence.

“Each of our inves-tigators believes that murder victims deserve to have their case solved, no mat-ter how long the file takes.

“These charges illustrate their dedi-cation and hopefully will help Tyler’s friends and family,” said Shinkaruk.

The investigation remains active and on-going, and additional charges are possible.

The two accused were slated to appear in  Salmon Arm Provincial Court Tuesday.

t H e C a n a D i a n P r e S SVANCOUVER - A B.C. labour group is criti-

cizing the provincial government for slashing funding to train construction workers, while at the same time the government is boasting about its skills-training programs.

Tom Sigurdson, the executive director of the BC Building Trades, says it’s shame-ful that the government is spending money on campaign-style advertising while putting entire training programs at risk by cutting funds.

He says the government’s not only reducing funding, but a lack of information from the Industry Training Authority is leav-ing apprentices in the dark about upcoming courses so they miss getting the technical training they need.

But Premier Christy Clark fired back with a Twitter message saying there are about 32,000 apprentices in the trades training system, more than double since the training authority was created.

Her message came the same day the gov-ernment issued a news release describing how high school students can get a jump start in a trade with apprenticeship programs that combine on-the-job training and classroom learning.

The government says the programs run by the Industry Training Authority allow young people to start apprenticeship training with no tuition fees and earn high school credits at the same time.

Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin says he is flushed with pride at the award, sponsored by Cintas Canada, a company that provides restroom supplies, among other services.

Cintas spokesman Rod Farquharson says the Victoria Loo isn’t known for being lavish, but the stainless steel, unisex toilet provides an ecofriendly, convenient and free service.

Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Veterans Affairs Eve Adams looks on as Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney places a wreath on the National War Memorial during a ceremony in Ottawa, Tuesday.

WAR MEMORIAL CEREMONY

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

constable who is also the son of a for-mer police chief has received his pun-ishment for using a Taser on a passed-out 16-year-old boy.

Const. Mike Wasylyshen, son of former Edmonton chief Bob Wasylyshen, will serve a 120-hour suspension without pay, which amounts to more than $5,000.

A disciplinary committee found him guilty of using excessive force in try-ing to arrest Randy Fryingpan in 2002.

The committee was told Wasylyshen deployed his Taser

eight times against Fryingpan within 68 seconds.

The hearing was also told Fryingpan was passed out in the back of a vehicle at the time, though Wasylyshen testified Fryingpan was aggres-sive and threatening.

Presiding officer Paul Manuel didn’t believe Wasylyshen’s account, calling it nothing more than an excuse to justify his

actions.“How could Randy

Fryingpan be expected to comply?

“He was being pulled at, yelled at, and tasered,” Manuel stated.

“Was the use of force necessary? I found that it wasn’t.”

Manuel rejected any calls for Wasylyshen’s dis-missal, and said in 10 years, the constable has changed.

ALBERTA

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Buyers of new homes

may have an additional fee to con-tend with next year and they’ll have Canada Post, in part, to thank for it.

The country’s postal service operator says it will begin charging developers $200 per home address to install community mailboxes in new residential neighbourhoods and commercial areas.

The new fee will kick in starting in January. While the fees won’t be directly charged to homeowners, it is likely that developers will pass off the expense to buyers.

Canada Post is looking for new ways to generate revenue and help reduce the quarterly losses its has

been racking up.Mail volumes have been declin-

ing for years as more Canadians turn to the Internet instead of let-ter services to pay their bills, while couriers have also snagged part of the large package market.

But Canada Post has also faced a rise in the number of new mail-ing addresses each year, which it says can sometimes be as high as 200,000.

The company said the instal-lation of new boxes can increase expenses by millions of dollar each year.

Canada Post noted that it will still be responsible for some of the associated costs, such as installa-tion and maintenance.

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

budget watchdog will not issue a mid-year report on the Harper government’s finances, citing lack of co-oper-ation from the vast majority of depart-ments.

P a r l i a m e n t a r y Budget Officer Kevin Page posted a partial analysis on the gov-ernment’s $5.2 billion spending cuts plan Tuesday, but said a complete report that would be useful to parliamentarians is impossible because he just hasn’t been given enough information.

He is seeking legal advice on whether he

can sue Ottawa for the information, saying he will have an opinion this month.

“We’re just saying show us the plan. This is not just a PBO issue, Parliament needs to see this and if they do see it and start scru-tinize these plans, the chance of hitting objectives goes up,” he said.

“But to say: We are not giving you the plan, totally under-mines Parliament.”

Page said he has been begging depart-ments and other gov-ernmental organiza-tions to report to his office their plans for personnel cuts and

their impact on pro-grams and services for seven months, but in many cases has received only a per-functory response.

To date, the PBO has received responses to requests about budget cutbacks from 91 per cent of govern-ment departments.

However, most have supplied inadequate information, he said.

Only one-quarter of departments, repre-senting three per cent of the $5.2 billion in budgeted cutbacks, have provided data on personnel losses or the impact on services to Canadians, he said.

“The lack of disclo-

sure will prevent the PBO from providing parliamentarians with independent analy-sis on the state of the nation’s finances and the estimates of the government,” the budget officer said in the analysis.

On Monday, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty reiterated his position that he does not believe Page is entitled to the infor-mation he is seeking.

PBO stalled by government secrecy

OPINION

Transparency is in the eye of the beholderEverybody, it seems,

is for transparency. Government is work-ing hard to provide

it. Corporations are opening their practices to deliver it. We’ve got oodles of legisla-tion to guaranty it, including the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act, the Access to Information Act, Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the . . . well you get the point. Saskatchewan has three Acts ensuring freedom of informa-tion all by itself, not includ-ing applicable federal legisla-tion.

If everyone was really in favour of transparency, would we really need all this legislation? Freedom of information is much like freedom of speech, every-one is in favour of it until it makes us uncomfort-able. Legislation seems less about providing informa-tion than ensuring those who have it are not made too uncomfortable by those who want it.

Freedom of information legislation starts by assum-ing everything is a secret and then details the excep-tions, culminating in a list of what information the public can see. Sometimes, this list is framed as a cit-

izen or customer infor-mation bill of rights. This sounds good but it’s upside down.

Effective legislation would start with the oppos-ite assumption, building on the foundation that every-thing is public. Something like;

If it’s in our files, you can see it.

Then, describing three of four exceptions with rational reasons for keep-ing this information from view. In other words, the burden of proof would be on those wishing to keep things a secret, not on those demanding dis-closure. This would have the added benefit of mak-ing legislation a good deal shorter.

This reverse burden now plays out in day to day operations of industry and government. It used to be requests for informa-tion were met with earnest efforts in providing it, or clear reasons why making the information public was not possible. Now the first response is an automatic ‘No!’. Filing a freedom of information request has become step one in the process of getting any information at all. What should be the exception has become the rule.

This isn’t the right dir-ection. Two thousand five hundred years of human scientific and technologic-al advance is built on a foundation of transparen-cy. Scientific studies must be published in sufficient detail that others can repli-cate the study. Background information, design of the experiment, resulting data and analytical method must all be open to inspec-tion and critique. Learning doesn’t take place any other way.

Ever wondered why new scientific discoveries, especially concerning your health, pop up constantly but never seem to go any-where? One reason is a form of transparency absentee-ism called publication bias. Experiments with positive results tend to get pub-lished and receive media attention, while those with

negative results, don’t. A new drug, for example, may have gone through 20 trials, but the 19 showing no effect are ignored by journals in favour of the one study showing a posi-tive result.

Thus, the impression is given that something has been discovered when the weight of evidence is just the opposite.

There is a movement underway in the scientific community, deserving of public support, demanding full transparency in drug testing, with publication of all studies regardless of outcome.

Not everyone supports open access to informa-tion though. Bureaucracies have long stood as fort-resses against it. Contrary to popular belief, Galileo’s heresy trial by the Inquisition in 1633 wasn’t so much about claiming the world went around the sun as it was writing about it in the common language of the day, Italian. Galileo’s was convicted of transpar-ency.

Bureaucracies now edit, spin, reframe, summar-ize, simplify, cherry-pick, fold, staple, and other-wise mutilate, informa-tion by repackaging it for public consumption.

Pharmaceutical companies spend more money mar-keting drugs than discov-ering them. Government allocates more resources to selling positive stories of itself than it does improv-ing services to citizens.

The fortress walls need to be taken down and legis-lation needs to be right side up.

Original sources of evi-dence must be made avail-able. Authors should take accountability by signing reports (as was done years ago) and not hide behind committees. Secondary and tertiary repackaging shouldn’t be accepted by the public or the media without primary source material. Inexpensive means of publication and search using web-based technologies makes all this possible.

Trust in public institu-tions is slipping. Corporate credibility with customers and the public is diminish-ing. Citizen engagement in democratic processes is declining. Some real trans-parency would help.

Community forests are commonly referred to as a “small tenure”, but their hopes and aspira-

tions are anything but small.  Community forests were

created to support local live-lihoods and to promote innova-tion and eco-nomic diversifi-cation.

They also encourage com-munication and the develop-ment of rela-tionships within c o m m u n i t i e s and with First Nations.

They provide opportunities for local training and skills development.

Forest companies will change owners or come and go. However, community for-ests and the communities that manage them are here to stay. With area based, long-term tenures, incentives are created for long term investment in the land. 

It is in the interest of these communities to manage their local forests for a range of val-ues, including local jobs, wild-fire mitigation and community interface planning, recreation infrastructure and small scale, local bioenergy.

There are five community forests in the BC Southern-Interior riding – Kaslo, Harrop

–Procter, West Boundary, Keremeos, and Princeton – and the accounts of benefits derived from their operations are grow-ing steadily.  For example, Kaslo contributed funds to build the new clubhouse at the

Kaslo Golf Club, a timber framed structure that also employed a local company for design and c o n s t r u c t i o n . Harrop-Procter is the first com-munity for-est with Forest S t e w a r d s h i p C o u n c i l C e r t i f i c a t i o n .  With their low

annual allowable harvest and a focus on protection of water-shed values, they have estab-lished a small mill to turn their round trees into dimensional lumber products.

  While community forestry holds great potential for BC communities, the economic and ecological changes facing the forest sector as a whole present significant challen-ges. The British Columbia Community Forest Association (BCCFA) is working to help its members manage for future success.

  At the recent BCCFA con-ference in Kaslo, delegates heard about the latest research on how to approach long term forest management in the con-

text of climate change. They learned about the

importance of understanding and monitoring the patterns and impacts of local change and they were introduced to some practical tools to analyze their vulnerabilities and risk.

The new insights and tools will assist community forest managers to adapt their deci-sion making to future condi-tions. 

  Community forests are seeking to diversify their oper-ations and to capture more value for the wood harvested.  WoodSourceBC.com is a new BCCFA initiative which helps to attract a wide group of log buy-ers and value added manufac-turers to the community for-est product and to partnership opportunities. 

  Value added manufactur-ing can provide as much as ten times the jobs for each cubic metre of wood as can a primary breakdown facility. 

The higher value product can also provide for an alterna-tive log market for community forests and other small tenures. 

Value added is a good deal for communities because it can contribute to new jobs, youth retention, economic diversification and community stability.

An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press

The idea that an impover-ished veteran deserves a digni-fied funeral and burial has been around since 1908 when a vet-eran of the Boer War died on the street with nothing in his possession but his honourable discharge papers. His body was handed to science for medical research.

It’s a principle, however, that successive federal governments have had trouble respecting.

The criteria for a federal fund that is supposed to ensure destitute veterans receive a proper funeral and burial are too limited and the program itself is underfunded.

Ottawa contributes $3,600

toward the funerals of needy veterans, an amount that hasn’t increased in years and is inadequate for today’s costs. To qualify for that meagre sup-port, veterans’ families must show their assets are under $12,015, not counting the family home and one vehicle. The test for single veterans is less onerous.

The service criteria are even more restrictive. The burial fund is only available to veter-ans of the Second World War and the Korean War. Other veterans may qualify if their families can prove they died as a result of a disability sustained in the Armed Forces.

The policy effectively excludes all those who served

in uniform since the Korean war, including veterans of the Afghan conflict.

The program is adminis-tered by The Last Post Fund, a non-profit group that has had to dip into its donations to ensure some veterans receive dignified burials. Funeral dir-ectors have also subsidized the funerals of impoverished war veterans because the govern-ment’s allowance doesn’t cover the full cost.

The Last Post Fund has asked Ottawa to increase its cap for 12 years without suc-cess. The country’s veterans deserve better, and there is no better time than now to ensure that needy veterans are buried with respect.

B Y K A R L Y UGrand Forks GazetteGrand Forks’

Roxanne Priede is this year’s National Memorial (Silver) Cross Mother and will lay a wreath at the war memorial in Ottawa on Remembrance Day.

Priede was named last Thursday by the Royal Canadian Legion and is mother of Master Corporal Darrell J. Priede, who died in Afghanistan in 2007.

Each year, the Royal Canadian Legion selects a mother to lay a wreath at the National War Memorial on behalf of mothers who have lost children in the military, either in action or in the course of normal duty.

She said that the event was going to be nerve-wracking and emotional.

“It’s sad but an honour as well, of course representing my son and also to be able to stand and rep-resent all mothers in Canada that have lost sons or daughters in the military,” Priede

told the  Grand Forks Gazette.

Roxanne Priede lost her son in a Chinook helicopter crash on May 20, 2007 – Darrell was serving as an imagery technician and she said he was a vibrant man.

“Darrell was just an amazing son,”

Roxanne explained. “He was very fun-loving, always smil-ing, always ready for a joke, he was also very quiet. He stood back in the corner sometimes, listening and learning. He loved to travel, he enjoyed life to the full-est.”

Priede went on to say that Darrell was

also a loving husband and great brother.

While the announcement was made last week, Priede has known for some time about being this year’s National Memorial (Silver) Cross mother.

“I received a phone call on May 1, I believe,” she recol-

lected. “There’s a com-mittee that looks over who they want for Silver Cross mother so they called me and asked me if I would consider being Silver Cross mother and of course, in the blink of an eye, I was ready to say, ‘Yes,’ but he said, ‘No, I’m going to give you the weekend to think it through and I want you to think about this. You need to do a bit of trav-elling and (you’ll) be representing mothers of Canada for the full year, so you need to be sure that it’s some-thing you’d like to do.’ There wasn’t a moment that I thought I would decline it because it’s an amazing honour.”

Priede will head to Ottawa with husband John and will receive a gold enameled legion crest in a shadow box at a luncheon on Nov. 10 at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier in Ottawa.

The black train bridge in Grand Forks was renamed the Darrell J. Priede bridge back in May of 2011 in honour of Darrell.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SNEW YORK - Classical composer

Elliott Carter, whose challenging, rhythmically complex works earned him widespread admiration and two Pulitzer Prizes, died Monday at age 103.

His music publishing company, Boosey & Hawkes, called him an “iconic American composer.” It didn’t give the cause of his death.

In a 1992 Associated Press inter-view, Carter described his works as “music that asks to be listened to in a concentrated way and listened to with a great deal of attention.”

“It’s not music that makes an overt theatrical effect,” he said then, “but it assumes the listener is lis-tening to sounds and making some sense out of them.”

The complex way the instru-ments interact in his compositions created drama for listeners who made the effort to understand them, but it made them difficult for orchestras to learn.

He said he tried to give each of the musicians individuality within

the context of a comprehensible whole.

While little known to the general public, he was long respected by an inner circle of critics and musi-cians.

In 2002, The New York Times said his string quartets were among “the most difficult music ever con-ceived,” and it hailed their “vola-tile emotions, delicacy and even, in places, plucky humour.”

Carter had remained astonish-ingly active, taking new commis-sions even as he celebrated his 100th birthday in December 2008 with a gala at Carnegie Hall.

His new work for chamber orchestra, “Instances,” will have its world premiere in February 2013 by the Seattle Symphony.

In 2005, his “Dialogues,” which had premiered the previous year, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in music.

Carter won his first Pulitzer Prize in 1960 for his Second String Quartet; his second award was in 1973 for his Third String Quartet.

B Y G R E G N E S T E R O F F Nelson Star

N e l s o n - C r e s t o n MLA Michelle Mungall says scrutinizing last month’s parlia-mentary election in Ukraine was  “wonder-ful” —  even though international observ-ers have denounced the overall results as unfair.

“It was a great experience,” she said in an interview. “I def-initely feel we had a positive impact, espe-cially at the rural, community level.”

Mungall spent close to two weeks in the country as part of a 430-member Canadian delegation, arriv-ing October 20 and departing Thursday.

She was sent to the riding of Drohobych in western province of Lviv province. The university town has a population of about 35,000 and is sur-rounded by many rural villages.

For three days, along with a driver, translator, and col-league, she toured pre-cincts to see if ballots arrived in appropriate numbers and were handled properly.

Come election day October 28, Mungall says voting was con-ducted efficiently at the 10 polls she vis-ited, although some things seemed suspi-cious.

“At one precinct I felt something was going on that may have not been completely above board, but I did not observe anything specific,” she said. “All I could do was report that ‘Four men came out of a car, they had a list, they were on the phone, they never voted, they noted our presence, and left.’“

Once the polls closed, the manu-al count also went smoothly. But then things fell apart: vote tabulations had to be filled out for the dis-trict election commis-sions, but there were no pre-printed forms.

Every candidate and party had to be writ-ten out — 22 of them in the poll Mungall observed. “Five hours was spent writing these things out,” she says. “By the time they were done, everybody was exhausted.”

Results were deliv-ered in the middle of the night to the dis-trict commission.

“There was an incredible amount of confusion, disor-ganization and diffi-culty in this part of the process,” Mungall said. “From here, the commission would go into a room and input everything into a computer. Very few observers were allowed to observe that pro-cess … This is where

unfortunately we can’t say if everything went smoothly.”

Official results saw the governing Party of Regions retain the lar-gest number of seats, 187 of 450. Ballots are still being count-ed, but international observers have noted irregularities and dis-crepancies at higher levels of the electoral process.

Electoral author-ities this week called for recounts in five

disputed districts, and hundreds gathered in Kyiv to protest.

“At the end, the will of the Ukrainian people was not respected, and there was considerable intimidation against media freedom,” Mungall said, adding the ruling party was criticized for over-using government resources to bolster its re-election chances.

For all of that, Mungall, who previ-ously served as an

election observer in Zambia in 2006, says she would encourage others to try it.

“It was a wonderful experience,” she said. “Being on the ground and seeing what it meant to people on the local level provided me with the understand-ing that sometimes we take it for granted here in Canada.

“Most of us never knew what it’s like not to have the right to vote.”

B Y T I M E S S T A F FThe Rossland

Secondary School Royals return to the AA provincial field hockey champion-ships this week in Burnaby looking for a medal.

Rossland finished fourth last year after capturing a bronze medal in 2010.

However, the road to glory is a rocky one as the Royals faceoff against Crofton House today at 11 a.m. - the team that beat them out for bronze in last year’s tournament - and then take on defending champion Shawnigan Lake in

their second match today at 3 p.m.

RSS winds up round-robin play with a game against Okanagan Mission Secondary at the Burnaby Sports Complex at 10:15 a.m. Thursday.

In last year’s bronze-medal game RSS came close, but lost in the end to Crofton House 2-1.

This year’s team is a young squad made up of players from Grades 8 to 12 and is coached by Donna Hebert and Jaclyn Haines.

Hebert, the RSS Phys-Ed teacher, has coached the field hockey team since 1993, winning two bronze, two silver and one provincial cham-pionship in 2000, an incredible success story for the size of the school.

Haines is an Ohio State University alumni, and RSS grad who played on the 2000 provincial cham-pionship field hockey team.

The Royals were ranked seventh in the province even though RSS is categorized as a single-A school with less than 86 female students in Grade 11 and 12, yet competes in the double-A prov-incials against larger schools.

Nelson’s L. V. Rogers Bombers also made it to the prov-incial title. After los-ing the West Kootenay zone final to the RSS Royals 1-0, the Bombers gained a berth by winning a wild-card match.

Rossland native and former RSS Royal Thea Culley has returned to the Canadian National field hockey team as it embarks on another run at the World Cup.

Culley is now the sen-ior member of the nation-al team with 86 senior caps and about six years international experience.

The 26-year-old UBC grad will lead a young national team as it leaves for Trinidad-Tobago today for the first round of qualification for the 2014 World Cup.

The Canadian women’s national team are set to take the first step of quali-fication in the League Round 1 in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago that starts Sunday and goes to Nov. 17. The round-robin tourna-ment will see Team Canada face off against Barbados, Uruguay, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana and Venezuela with the top three teams going through to the World League Round 2 in Brazil next spring.

Culley has not played for Team Canada since the Olympic qualifier in India in February, taking time to improve her game in Hamburg, Germany playing in the elite

Bundesliga.“I lived there for three months

and also had the opportunity to play in the Euro Club Championship Cup, a tournament that was in Belgium and hosted some of the top club teams of Europe,” said

Culley in an email. “That was a really great oppor-tunity for me to play high level hockey every week-end. I also learned a lot about myself since I was the only English speak-ing player on the team.”

Culley returns to a very different national team than the one she played with at the Pan Am Games in October, where they finished just out of the medals in

fourth place.“We have had about a half dozen

players retire so I am now the high-est capped player on the team,” said Culley. “I’m part of a really great leadership team and I look forward to the challenge of competition and the new camaraderie.”

As a new quadrennial begins, the Women’s National Team is ultim-ately building towards the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. The World League provides Canada with an excellent opportunity to gain inter-national experience.

Royals ready to face-offMcCarthy basks in the Heat

B Y J I M B A I L E YTimes Sports Editor

Coming off of a record break-ing goal last week, Trail native Steve McCarthy is enjoying the Heat on the west coast and his new home.

After winning a Swiss League Championship in April by scor-ing the Game 7 winning goal for the Zurich Lions, McCarthy packed his bags and made the journey back to B.C. and the American Hockey League for a tryout with the Calgary Flames affiliate, the Abbotsford Heat.

“It’s been great, obvious-ly its been a few years,” said McCarthy after practice in Abbotsford Tuesday. “I spent a few seasons over seas and things went pretty well there, and I stayed healthy for a few years so I thought I’d give it another crack over here and see what happens.”

McCarthy’s return to the American Hockey League has been nothing short of impres-

sive. While Abbotsford enjoys first place in the North Division and second spot overall, the 31-year-old defenceman leads all Heat D in points with a goal and seven assists, and is a solid plus-6 for the season.

“The biggest thing for me is that I feel healthy. I feel as I’ve gotten older, I approach things a little bit differently, and things have worked out a little bit better for me.”

The former Trail Smoke Eater has made such a posi-tive impact not just through his outstanding play, but his leadership on and off the ice; as a result, he was named assistant captain by his peers on Thursday prior to a game against the Toronto Marlies.

“It was a little bit of a sur-prise, the group here has been together for a few years, and have some veteran guys, so it was a pleasant surprise and something you take with pride,” said McCarthy.

He scored his first goal of the year later that same night in what turned out to be his first career short-handed goal, the game-winning goal, and the first tally in what would be the fastest two goals ever scored.

“I didn’t even see it (the second goal). There’s no video of it; it happened so fast. Everybody that wasn’t here will have to take our word for it I guess.”

McCarthy’s short-handed goal broke a scoreless tie at 4:28 in the third period and then on the ensuing faceoff at centre ice, Ben Street fired the puck into the net past a bewildered Ben Scrivens in the Heat’s 3-0 win over the Marlies.

“(Assistant coach) Cail MacLean told me they would probably go forward off the draw, so I figured there was no use trying to win it back,” Street told a Canadian Press reporter.

CLINT TRAJAN/ABBOTSFORD HEAT

Steve McCarthy’s breakaway goal was the first of two shorthanded tallies for the Heat within three seconds in the third period on Thursday. The goals set a new AHL record for the fastest two by the same team, and tied the NHL mark.

FROM PAGE 10 “I tried to go forward myself and got pretty

good wood on it. I got it high enough that he didn’t pick up on it. I picked the right club, I guess.”

They were the fastest two goals scored by one team in North American professional hockey history, beating the old AHL mark of five seconds and the NHL mark of four seconds.

McCarthy’s goal was a little nicer. He flew down the left side, skated wide on a Marlies defender before taking the puck to the net and squeezing it through the pads of Scrivens.

“It was a huge play by a veteran-type player,” said Abbotsford coach Troy Ward. “There are moments in games where you need to step up and he made a great play at the right time.

“It was the play that will go (unnoticed) in this whole thing and it was the biggest play of the game.”

A first-round pick of the Chicago Black in 1999, McCarthy logged 302 NHL games through nine seasons with the Blackhawks, Vancouver Canucks and Atlanta Thrashers. His career totals: 17 goals, 55 points and 168 penalty min-utes.

All of that came after he led the Kootenay Ice to the franchise’s first Memorial Cup berth in 2000 and captained Team Canada to a world junior bronze medal the same season.

If McCarthy stays healthy and continues his outstanding play, if and when the NHL gets back on the ice, a promotion to the Calgary Flames just might be in the cards.

“I’ve played in the NHL before, it seems like a long time ago now, and if you would have thought I would have even had a crack at it, I didn’t even think that opportunity would be there,” said McCarthy.

“But it’s something that is in the back of your mind, and it would be nice, but at the same time, I’m pretty happy with where I am at, and what I’ve overcome with injuries just being able to get back here and contribute. If it happens, it will definitely be something special, but if it doesn’t, I’m comfortable with that too.”

The Major Midget Kootenay Ice’s Harrison Whitlock blocks a shot against the South Island Royals’ Brodie Smith Sunday at the Cominco Arena. The Ice tied the Royals 5-5 Saturday, but dropped their Sunday tilt 6-3.

B Y T I M E S S T A F FThe Major Midget Kootenay Ice

had a modest three-game unbeaten streak broken on the weekend as the South Island Royals defeated the Ice 6-3 on Sunday.

The Ice was coming off a two game sweep of the Thompson Blazers the previous weekend and tied the Royals in an exciting 5-5 game Saturday at the Cominco Arena.

The Ice went ahead 5-4 at 10:58 of the third period when Brendan Smith fired home a nice set up from Justin Post and Brandon Sookro. But the Royals struck back, tying it a minute later to salvage a point.

Smith scored twice on the night

with singles coming from Post who also had two assists, Trevor Van Steinburg, and Sookro.

On Sunday, the Royals broke open a close 2-1 game in the second with a power play goal at 11:49 and another marker seven minutes later. Leading 4-1 heading into the third, the teams would trade a pair of goals each for the 6-3 Royal vic-tory.

Post picked up two assists in the game, while Tristan Pagura, Kane Roberts, and Fruitvale’s Ryan Neil scored for the Kootenay side.

The Midget Ice next games go at the Richmond Oval against the seventh place Vancouver Canadians on Saturday and Sunday.

Biggest goal still to come

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SCALGARY - Drew Tate will get the start at

quarterback for Calgary when the Stampeders host the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the CFL West semifinal.

The Stampeders announced the decision in a statement handed out to media before the team’s practice. Coach John Hufnagel had said previously he wanted to end speculation early on whether Tate or veteran Kevin Glenn would get the start.

Tate, a 28-year-old from Baytown, Texas, start-ed the season as Calgary’s undisputed No. 1.

A shoulder dislocation of his non-throwing arm in his second regular-season game, and subsequent surgery, sidelined Tate for 14 of 18 games.

He opted for surgery in July, and wasn’t expected to return before the post-season. But he recovered quicker than planned and played portions of the final two games of the regular season, showing no indication he’d returned to action prematurely.

“(Drew) has shown during the past two games he is fully recovered from his shoulder injury, he is throwing accurately and seeing the field well,” Hufnagel said in the statement. “Drew is a very interesting QB whose athleticism allows him to extend plays when thing break down. When Drew has started and played at least half the game, his winning percentage is 83 per cent.”

Before Glenn went in for the second half, Tate completed 11 of 15 passes for 139 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in the regular season finale Friday versus Edmonton.

In his first game back from injury Oct. 26 versus the Lions, Tate rotated series with Glenn. Tate was picked off on a pass attempt, but threw to Nik Lewis for a touchdown on his very next play. He finished 5-for-7 and 68 yards.

Max draw has revealed a second winner from Sparwood – and they even bought the tick-ets from the same store!

In what Lotto Max

spokesman Chris Fairclough called a “really unique situa-tion I’ve never heard of before,”

Guy Champagne and Nicole Lelonde have joined Lee and Diana Anderson in taking a share of lot-

tery money from the October 26 draw, with tickets bought at the Express Mart in Sparwood.

Nicole and Guy won $333,333 – their share of a $1 million MaxMillion prize.

Nicole said she had

had a “feeling” that that might have won, which is why she called her husband Guy and told him to check his ticket as soon as she heard a winning ticket had been bought in Sparwood.

Earlier last week the Andersons, also of Sparwood, were at the BCLC office in Kamloops to claim their $500,000 win-ning share of a MaxMillion prize.

Dear Annie: My boyfriend lives with a woman who gave birth to his child. He says it is not a romantic arrangement. She wanted to get preg-nant, and he provided the genetic material. He sleeps on the sofa.

My issue is, when he wants to spend time with this kid, the mother must always be present. She also isn’t aware that he is dating me, and we’ve been together for two years. He is divorced, and his ex-wife and other children don’t know about this child. He expects me to keep his secret, stay away from the birth mother and be fine with all of this -- even when overnight trips are planned.

I will never be fine with this. He says I should trust him. But, Annie, I just can’t wrap my head around why I should blindly accept this. Am I wrong? -- Third Wheel

Dear Third: Your

boyfriend is juggling three separate lives: one with you, one with his ex-wife and chil-dren, and another with his “secret” child and the biological mother. We can think of no good reason for this man to be living with another woman unless he has made a commit-ment to her in addi-tion to his child. He can support the child emotionally and finan-cially without sleeping on her sofa.

It is not your place to inform his ex-wife or his other children about his arrange-ment. However, we think he is having a romantic relationship with the woman he

lives with, and you are his sideline. What you do about that is up to you.

Dear Annie: I am 17 years old, and I have a younger sister who is 13. Her attitude is awful. I have to drive her to school every day, and we always get into fights. She con-stantly criticizes my driving and puts me down. She also calls me a lot of names and says hurtful things. We even got into a physic-al fight.

I’ve told my parents that she is rude and I am not inclined to do anything for her. But my parents won’t get involved. They never punish her, and she gets away with every-thing. In fact, they just bought her a new com-puter.

I don’t know what to do anymore. I can’t wait until I leave for college and won’t have to deal with her. Is that wrong? What should I do? -- Frustrated Sister

Dear Frustrated: We

understand that your little sister is driv-ing you nuts. This is not uncommon with younger siblings. We suggest you be the adult. Don’t let her ruffle you. Ignore her barbs and criticisms, which are intended to provoke a response and get your atten-tion. When you need to vent, talk to your school counselor, best friend, favorite teach-er or a sympathetic relative. But please remember that when your sister outgrows this immature stage, she could become your closest friend. Hang in there.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Joe’s Buddies for Life,” whose 50-year-old friend is still trying to realize a dream.

I spent my career as a high school guidance counselor. Many times, kids would have plans to play sports in col-lege as a means of pay-ing for their degree. My advice to them was

to go to the coach for an honest assessment of their skills.

“Joe” needs to do the same thing. He needs to find someone who can give him a true assessment of his talents in his chosen field. He may need

some moral support to face this evaluation. He will not be at all agreeable to consid-ering another career until he faces the real-ity of his chances for success in his dream career. -- That First Step Is a Hard One

NELSON – Three months after Shambhala Music Festival’s 15th anni-versary, organiz-ers are excited to announce early bird tickets for the 2013 festival have already sold out.

Tickets went on sale on Nov. 1 at 6 p.m. and within 21 minutes the first tier of tickets had sold out, setting a record for sales. In 2011, first tier tickets sold out in 22 hours.

“I am blown away,” said executive produ-cer Corrine Zawaduk. “We won’t be releas-

ing our line-up until the spring, but still people believe in what we are doing enough to buy a ticket. People trust that we deliver.”

Shambhala now has only 6,000 tick-ets available online meaning they sold 40 per cent of their tick-ets in 12 hours.

“This is the fourth year in a row that we’re going to experi-ence a sell-out,” said ticket and vendor administrator Sara Victor.

“For two years this has happened the fall before the line has been released. There is nothing quite like sitting on this side watching the orders roll in. It’s inspiring.”

Victor said the commitment and faith from ticket holders motivates festival organizers to continually make the best event possible encouraging people to come back year after year.

The festival, held annually in August at the Salmo River Ranch, has regularly sold out with 10,000 people in attendance.

As organizers begin preparations for their upcom-ing event, they will be incorporating the feedback received in a survey conducted last month.

“It was great to hear the commun-

ity is willing to work with us closer on a tourism and des-tination manage-ment platform,” said Zawaduk.

“It sounds like many businesses and organizations want to develop better part-nerships, but there is still a segment of the population that things ‘something

should be done about Shambhala.’”

There were 90 surveys received by the festival and 79.4 per cent had a posi-tive perception of Shambhala.

Zawaduk along with her siblings and executive producers Jimmy and Anna Bundschuh shared the results at a spe-

cial Business-after-Business event held last month at the Shambhala Music and Performance Hall at Nelson’s Selkirk College Tenth Street Campus.

“It was an excellent event,” said Zawaduk. “There as a good turn out with the key mov-ers and shakers from the community for the strategic plan-ning. The realization that we are a world class event is slowly spreading.”

In addition to a presentation by the family, Wanda Daza – an independent con-sultant hired to work

with the event on their strategic plan-ning – did a workshop with local business owners sharing keys to successful stra-tegic development.

The survey results will also be used by Daza as part of the strategic planning for the festival.

“The Business-after-Business event was extremely suc-cessful and the com-ments received at

the event were very positive,” said Daza. “Shambhala is in the process of mapping its strategy for the future and the input received from the community is valu-able.”

Shambhala 2013 is scheduled for August 7 to 12.

Regular admis-sion tickets are now available online at shambhalamusicfes-tival.com

Fernie Alpine Resort (FAR) has been named the top ski resort in North America in the pres-tigious World Snow Awards in London on Friday.

FAR beat off compe-tition from other des-tination ski resorts like Whistler, Banff, Vail, Mammoth, Squaw

Valley, Aspen, Telluride and many others to win the much-coveted title.

“We are truly hon-oured,” said Matt Mosteller, VP of Sales and Marketing at Resorts of the Canadian Rockies.

“This award is abso-lutely huge. There has not been a more respected, industry-leading panel of ski

journalists, industry executives, ski pro-fessionals, media and tour operators ever assembled.

“These judges know their stuff and have all skied all over North America.”

Honouring the best in the world of skiing and snowboarding, the World Snow Awards reward resorts, com-panies and individuals

in 25 categories with the winners chosen by a panel of leading ski and snowboard experts and public vote.

Categories include the best European resort, North American resort, ski and snow-board brands, airline, and specialist and mainstream tour oper-ators. Ski and snow-board brands are also judged.

Fernie resort named best in North America SPCA donAtionSubmitted photo

Greg Popoff, KSCU’s sen-ior commercial account manager presented a cheque for over $500 on behalf of the department to Danielle Jackman of the SPCA. The donation is from the Care Wear program, which affords employees the chance to dress casually each Friday paying $1 for the privilege, and the KS Community Foundation matches the amount contributed.
