Like a fine wine, a local farmer’s vineyard gets better with age.
SOAHC Estate Wines is in its first year of full harvest and owners Jamie Fochuk and Kim McLaughlin were in the fields picking plump white grapes from heav-ily laden vines at the crack of dawn Friday morning.
“Today is called a flower day, “said Fochuk, referring to the philosophy of bio-dynamic farming. “It’s a perfect day to plant bulbs for next year, harvest anything that is flower, and a really good day to pick wine grapes.”
With the help of family and friends, Fochuk and McLaughlin planted a 6.7 acre bench of vines in 2010, growing char-donnay and riesling varietals, with a goal to harvest the mature vines this year.
“Last year we had 50 cases,” he said. “This year so far we have four times that already and hoping for 500 to 800 cases.”
After full days of
planting, pruning and harvesting, Fochuk transports the grapes to a site in Okanagan Falls where he is grow-ing his hand in oenol-ogy, the art of wine-making.
He has worked at five wineries across the country in the last two decades, and now has enough grapes to produce white wines under the SOAHC label, which is expected to hit store shelves next year.
“Grapes don’t make money,” he said. “We can’t sell grapes to make wine, we would literally starve if I didn’t make the wine.”
Fochuk and his wife settled into 150 acres of Columbia Gardens land in 2006, after seven years of studying the weather and astronomy in the region before digging into the soil using the art of biodynamic viti-culture (grape grow-ing).
B i o d y n a m i c s refers to the prac-tise of organic farm-ing, astronomy, and a philosophy called anthroposophy, which includes understand-ing the ecological,
the energetic, and the spiritual in nature.
“This really is old farming,” said Fochuk. “Biodynamics is organ-ics done consciously,” he explained. “The farming uses astron-omy and historically was used in Europe until the First World War.”
The name of the vineyard also came about organically and embraces his farming philosophy.
One of the key prin-ciples of biodynamics is to harvest energy
from nature.“SOAHC is chaos
spelled backward,” he said. “Chaos is a big part of our mixing. “In biodynamics you stir, for example, a barrel compost for one hour
in one direction to cre-ate a vortex,” explained Fochuk, adding, “then we create chaos by stirring very fast in the other direction, to mix the molecules very hard (create energy).”
A second 12 acre bench of red wine grapes, including Pinot noir and Gamay noir varietals was sowed last year with harvest expected next fall, said Fochuk.
“Next year we should have some Pinot noir and the year after, a full crop.”

The developer of the Cooke Street project won’t renege on his development designs despite an outpouring of neighbourhood con-cerns against the development last week.
Over 40 people turned up in city council chambers last week (Sept. 23) but only eight people spoke to express their thoughts on the 24-unit development slated for the old Cooke Avenue school site.
They cited everything from the height of the four structures, to its density (24 units) to an increase in traffic, to the amount of driveways it would contain, all as safety issues that would not make it a good fit for the neighbourhood.
But developer Cezary Ksiazek said that every design element in the project had been crafted under the guidelines laid out by the city’s Official Community Plan.
The design for the development had already been approved by the city’s planning depart-ment, said Ksiazek.
“I will not make changes because four people say something, he said. “It’s not like I’m asking for something special, it’s within the rules.”
The purpose of the Sept. 23 public hearing was to consider the Ksiazek’s request that the city advance a rezone on two large lots located on the former school site to allow a change in zoning from P1—public institu-tional to CD 6—mixed residential.
Ksiazek was adamant the development conformed to the OCP, including the future projected housing demand for Rossland (page 23, OCP) that is coming as the population swells from 4,623 to 5,055 in 2017.
He said the OCP noted having mixed forms of housing like the development proposed was especially applicable to Rossland due to the limited supply of developable land and its topography.
On page 36 of the OCP it encouraged cluster development to allow the protection of natural features on a site, to minimize the on-site footprint of the development and to minimize the road lengths.
The project also had the support of the Rossland Chamber of Commerce. In a letter from chamber president Paul Gluska, it was noted the “project would create jobs within the community, another economic benefit.
“The Cooke Avenue School project would diversify building stock, create jobs, and attract young families to our community by offering an affordable alternative,” said Gluska in the letter.
The matter will now come back to council and be dealt with in early November.
FROM PAGE 1“There is an interest-
ing history about the press which was built by Rossland residents years before Bear Aware starting managing the event over 10 years ago,” said Wieder.
“People can book a time to bring apples to press for juice. They can bring it home to do whatever they like with it, quite often it is put into carboys and made into cider.”
During this time of year, bears are in a cycle of hyper-phagia, meaning they eat and drink up to 20,000 calories in a single day to fatten for hibernation.
“When I am working with the kids I tell them it would be like eating 40 hamburgers a day,” said Wieder. “Unpicked fruit, bird feeders, nut trees and small animals all become
targets for the bears.”Although bear sight-
ings are down this year pos-sibly due to an abundance of natural food sources, she reminds the community that Rossland and Trail experi-enced a huge fruit tree crop this year and the abundance of apples, pears and plums are a calling card for the animals.
“People in general seem to be paying more attention to their garbage which has
always been the number one attractant for bears,” she said. “Right behind garbage is fruit trees so I think it’s important for residents to know about Harvest Rescue. Having someone help pick and shar-ing fruit all helps to keep the bears out.”
Since the inception of Bear Aware the annual destruction of bears across the province has dropped from almost 1,000 a year to approximately 500 animals a year.

Andy Davidoff, president of the Kootenay Columbia Teachers’ Union was next to the podium and spoke of “shar-ing instead of constant and unexpected downloading on school boards,” the need to review the current fiscal policy, and closed with “families are first but the government can’t find money in the budget to educate children in B.C.”
The importance of sports in the Kootenays was addressed by Brian Fry and Donald Stevens from the BC Alpine Ski Association, although they didn’t ask for an increase of funding, but “to request the same amount that we’ve received in the past.”
Jessie Renzie, a registered nurse from Kaslo, gave an impassioned speech about keeping healthcare a priority in rural communities, and the hardship losing 24/7 emergency care would cause the Kaslo community.
The BC Touring Council executive director Joanna Maratta requested con-tinued investment in the arts with an $8 million increase in the budget each year for the next three years. The council’s current operating cost is $23 million, and with top-up would be $32 million in 2014/15 and $40 million in the 2015/16 budget.
Abra Brynne, program manager for Food Secure Canada and director with BC Food Systems Network was last to speak, and focused on food systems,
policy and the preservation of province farmlands. “How vital and precious is our land,” she said, adding “any juris-diction that cannot feed itself is at the mercy of whoever can.”
The consultations began last month, following the release of the budget con-sultation by Finance Minister Michael De Jong. The parliamentary committee is required to compile the public pres-entations in a report to submit to the legislative assembly Nov. 15.
“I can assure you there will be a lot of discussion about the pros and cons of everything the committee has heard, “said Ashton.
“We’ve heard from a broad cross sec-tion of folks today and have much input to consider.”
Committee will submit report in November

VICTORIA – Education Minister Peter Fassbender says boards protesting the cost of a 3.5 per cent raise for school support should have known it was coming, but some opted to wait and hope for an NDP government to take over.
Fassbender said in an interview that school trustees have been working with the education min-istry for months on “savings plans.” They
knew the B.C. Liberal government would not increase budgets to cover a raise for work-ers who haven’t seen one in four years, and have been without a contract for more than a year.
“I think there was some hope on the part of some [trustees] that we would, with our backs to the wall perhaps, come up with additional dollars,” Fasssbender said. “And the other reality, quite honestly, was that up until May 14 there was some anticipation that there was going to be a change of govern-
ment.”Trustees around
the province are grappling with added costs for contracts with 69 union locals representing educa-tion assistants, bus drivers, custodians and crossing guards. Mostly members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, support staff workers are currently voting on a two-year tenta-tive agreement that is already more than halfway to expiring next June.
Union locals and boards of education must all vote to rat-
ify the agreement by December for it to take effect. It includes a one per cent raise retroactive to July 1, another two per cent starting Feb. 1 and 0.5 per cent in May 2014.
Districts calculate costs from the deal to be more than $2 million in Vancouver, $700,000 in Chilliwack and proportional amounts in other dis-
tricts, most of which have already cut ser-vices due to declining enrolment.
Fassbender said the support staff settle-ment meets the gov-ernment’s “coopera-tive gains” mandate imposed on all pub-lic service unions, because CUPE chose to accept a smaller raise and protect its ability to bank sick
days.The ministry’s new
chief negotiator, Peter Cameron, offered CUPE two per cent raises in each year, as other government workers have received, but the tradeoff was to give up accumulating unused sick days.
School support staff and teachers are the last provincial govern-ment unions to accept
a “cooperative gains” contract. Fassbender and Premier Christy Clark have offered to fund raises for teach-ers, if they will agree to a long-term settle-ment.
Fassbender said the expired support staff contracts had to be dealt with first, and new negotiations with CUPE will have to begin soon.
School boards knew of CUPE costs, says minister

Climate change will likely mean warmer, rainier winters in B.C. as well as reduced sum-mer stream flows, a forum in Vancouver heard Monday as new international findings were released.
Dr. Francis Zwiers, director of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC) and vice-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) working group 1, said projections for B.C. point to further warming of 2.9 degrees in the winter and 2.4 degrees in the summer by 2100, under a moderate carbon emission scen-ario.
Winter warming on that scale could translate into 17 to 51 more days per year of frost-free conditions, he told the forum, in the wake of the already measured reduction of 24 annual frost days since 1900 and a 2.1-degree increase in the province’s winter temperatures.
While a longer growing season might be a
boon to gardeners and farmers, Zwiers noted warming winters have also allowed unwanted species like the mountain pine beetle to flourish and wreak havoc on Interior forests.
“You can just imagine there would be many other organisms that would find B.C. to be a much more hospitable place to live, even in a slightly warmer climate than we have at the moment, or a slightly wetter climate than we have at the moment.”
PCIC researchers projected climate changes in B.C. over the rest of this century using the same models as the IPCC. Winter warming would be greater in the northeast than other parts of the province, while summer warming projec-tions are roughly uniform.
Zwiers said the modeling shows winter, spring and fall precipitation will increase in B.C., with a 10 per cent increase in precipitation in winters expected and summers potentially getting wetter in the north but drier in the south.
Wetter, warmer winters could affect the prov-ince’s supply of water for drinking, farming, power generation and salmon migration.
With less water being stored as snow over the winter, Zwiers said, B.C. can expect higher amounts of winter and spring runoff, leaving less behind in the upper elevations to deliver water in summer.
Scientists project warmer, wetter winters for B.C.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - A group of notable Canadian
women is launching a campaign for gender-neu-tral language in the English lyrics of O Canada.
The group said the change would restore Canada’s English national anthem to its original gender-neutral intentions.
The group - which includes author Margaret Atwood and former prime minister Kim Campbell - has set up a website to promote the idea.
It is calling on Canadians to join the cam-paign and encourage Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government to change the line “in all thy sons command” to “in all of us command.”
RestoreOurAnthem.ca is being launched on the 100th anniversary of the change made to Judge Robert Stanley Weir’s original English lyrics.
The coalition says for no documented reason the lyrics were revised in 1913 from “thou dost in us command” to “in all thy sons command” and that it is time to make a change to reflect the inclusive intentions of the original lyrics.

‘O Canada’
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - The federal govern-
ment must be prodded to continue making improvements to its so-called veterans charter to ensure vulnerable former soldiers aren’t left living in poverty, Canada’s veter-ans ombudsman said Tuesday.
Guy Parent’s long-awaited assess-ment of the government’s so-called veterans charter found that veterans are receiving inadequate compensa-tion from the government for their pain and suffering.
Hundreds of severely disabled veterans, in particular, will also take a financial hit once they retire because some of their benefits will end and they don’t have military pensions, Parent says in the report.
Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino has said the government will support a House of Commons committee as it looks at how chan-ges to the charter enacted in 2011 have affected those benefits.
But additional changes are need-ed - and quickly, said Parent, who acknowledged that both his own office and veterans organizations across Canada must compel polit-icians to keep their promises to fix a broken system.
“We have been working on the veterans charter improvements for many years and so have many other veterans representative groups,” he told a news conference in Ottawa.
“What is important here is to hold the parliamentarians to their promise when they first introduced it, that there will be continuous improvement.
“And it’s very hard to believe that statement when in fact for six years there was nothing done about the charter.”
The ombudsman’s office carried out a detailed comparison of bene-fits and entitlements under the new veterans charter and those from the old pension-for-life system used since the end of the First World War.
The Conservatives overhauled the charter in 2011 following com-plaints that it was nowhere near as generous as the old system.
Those enhancements, which included more money to replace lost income, will be reviewed by MPs this fall.
A review of Bill C-55, which enacted the enhancements made in 2011, is required by legislation.
But Fantino has already commit-ted to a comprehensive review that will go beyond what is required, said spokesman Joshua Zanin.
“The report that has been put
together by the ombudsman will specifically be used to inform the broader review that the minister has called for.”
Parent dismissed the suggestion that improving benefits to veterans is a pricey proposition.“The cost of doing nothing now will have a humongous human cost later on,” he said.
Improving disability awards to veterans would cost taxpayers about $70 million, said the report.
In addition, access to allowances and supplements for permanent impairments is expected to run between $8 million and $10 million annually.
Concerns about gaps in compen-sation payments for veterans are nothing new, and the government has had ample time to correct the situation, said NDP defence critic Jack Harris.
It remains unclear just how Tuesday’s report will impact an ongoing lawsuit by former service members who took part in the mis-sion in Afghanistan.
The younger veterans argue that the new charter discriminates against them and provides less to them than soldiers who served in the Second World War, Korea and on peacekeeping operations.
Veterans charter leaves some ex-soldiers in
poverty: reportOTTAWA - Some of the rec-
ommendations from the review of the federal government’s vet-erans charter, released Tuesday:
- Provide additional financial support after age 65 to eligible veterans who are totally and permanently incapacitated;
- Increase the earnings loss benefit to 90 per cent of pre-release salary, and provide the same benefit to former part-time Reserve Force members whose injury or illness is related to service;
- Base the annual cost of liv-ing adjustment to the benefit on actual annual increases in the cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index;
- Increase the maximum dis-ability amount to the maximum judicial cap for non-pecuniary damages awarded by Canadian courts;
- Review and reassess the maximum amount to fairly compensate Canadian Forces members and veterans for pain and suffering resulting from an injury or illness in service to Canada;

OPINION
In politics, competence often trumps charismaSeptember brought
three interesting international elec-tions - in Australia,
Norway, and Germany. While the incumbents were defeated in the first two, Angela Merkel romped home for a third term in Germany.
On September 7, Tony Abbot’s Liberal/National (politically conserva-tive) coalition ousted an Australian Labour gov-ernment that had been in power for six years. For the defeated Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, it was perhaps the final humiliation in a career that once seemed so promising.
When he first took office in 2007, many observers saw Rudd as a new giant on the Australian landscape. Indeed, there were those who considered him an example of the kind of 21st century leader who would surely come to dominate the international stage - a multi-lingual intellectual with an informed global perspective and impeccably centre-left political views. (Here in Canada, some pundits felt the same way about Michael Ignatieff for a while.)
But the Rudd reality was
very different, so much so that his own party turfed him from office in 2010, only to bring him back in 2013 when his successor, Julia Gillard, seemed head-ed for electoral disaster. But it was to no avail.
A private opposition document characterised Rudd’s fundamental prob-lem as “grandiose nar-cissism.” Put simply, he believed himself to be the smartest person on the planet and behaved accord-ingly. For those in love with the idea of intellectuals in politics, it’s a sobering les-son - or at least it ought to be.
Norway’s September 9 election turned out much as I had earlier suggested it would. Conservative Erna Solberg evicted Labour’s Jens Stoltenberg from the prime minister’s office.
Given Norway’s prosper-ity and long-term social democratic pedigree, it was an interesting develop-ment.
However, no such unhappy fate awaited Germany’s Angela Merkel. On September 22, she even managed to increase her popular support by almost eight percentage points, giving her Christian
Democratic Union/Christian Social Union its best performance since 1994.
Notwithstanding her doctorate in quantum chemistry, Merkel likes to associate herself with the values of the “thrifty Swabian housewife.”
For her, grandiosity is something to be kept under wraps. In an age infatuated with flash, this contrasting Merkel style has its own very real strengths.
So what, if any, conclu-sions can be drawn from this?
Noting the centre-right political orientation of the three winners, there may be a temptation to detect an international move in that direction. But such a proposition is a bridge too far. Governments often
defeat themselves, either by messing up badly or simply wearing out their welcome. And both of those factors were at work in Australia and Norway.
That said, the results remind us of some endur-ing truths.
As Merkel’s big win underlines, perceived eco-nomic competence is a major trump card in turbu-lent times. Charisma is fine and dandy, but a demon-strably safe pair of hands assumes great importance when wolves are on the prowl.
Then there’s the old adage that all politics are ultimately local. Put another way, everyone likes the idea of their country being held in high global regard, but when the chips are down perceived nation-al interest will take preced-ence.
For instance, Merkel has come under substantial international criticism for allegedly not thinking big enough on the subject of Europe.
She should, so the story goes, be more expansive in backstopping the flailing economies of the European periphery and more accom-modating in terms of
stimulus, even at the risk of higher inflation. But Germans don’t want that.
And while the details may be different, Australia showed a similar character-istic. International opinion tended to strongly favour Labour, in part because of Abbot’s expressed intention to abolish the carbon tax. As someone put it, Australia would be left without a cli-mate change policy!
But although it renders the likes of David Suzuki apoplectic, that’s precisely what’s going to happen. Abbot won and he intends to follow through on the abolition of the tax.
Finally, there’s the fragil-ity of conventional wisdom. Just as Stephen Harper was once considered unelect-able in Canada, so too was Abbot in Australia. Now, like Harper, he’s prime minister.
Here’s the thing about conventional wisdom. Often, the only accurate part of the designation is the “conventional” bit.

In 2009 the Conservative government’s omni-bus budget bill gut-ted the Environmental
Assessment Act to reduce the number and types of develop-ment projects whose approv-als would be subject to an environmental assessment. Conservative budget bills C-38 and C-45 were a continuation of the dismantling of Canada’s long established environ-mental laws.
The stealth and ruth-lessness by which the Conservat ive g o v e r n m e n t is abandoning its responsibil-ities on the env i ronment sends a very clear message - the health and safety of land, water, and air or of Canadian citizens are not a priority.
As far as this government is concerned, no pesky rules are going to get in the way of enabling big business to exploit the common wealth of our non-renewable mineral and hydrocarbon resources.
Even more worrying is the increasing level of power the Conservatives have stead-ily been transferring to the Minister to make final deci-sions on projects such as pipelines irrespective of any environmental assessment.
Enacted in 1882, the Navigable Waters Protection Act (NWPA) was designed to protect the rights of Canadians to navigate waterways with-out interference from bridg-es, dams, pipelines, logging operations, and other develop-ments.
By replacing the NWPA with the Navigation Protection Act
(NPA), Bill C-45 erases any connection between naviga-tion and the environment.
As Ecojustice stated in its thorough review, “the law will no longer protect navigable waters – it will only protect navigation.”
Under the new Act, propon-ents of industrial and infra-structure projects may have unfettered access to disrupt and impact waterways with lit-
tle regard for environmental or navigation rights.
By dismant-ling the NWPA, the federal g o v e r n m e n t has abandoned j u r i s d i c t i o n over most water bodies. Just 97 lakes and 62 rivers now retain some protec-
tion. Interestingly, of the 97
lakes retaining some pro-tection, 87 per cent are in Conservative held ridings. In the BC Southern Interior, the Okanagan, Slocan, Kettle and Grandby rivers are no longer protected and neither are lakes such as Osoyoos, Christina, or Nancy Greene.
According to Amnesty International, the govern-ment’s changes to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, the Fisheries Act, the Navigable Waters Protection Act and Safe Drinking Water for First Nations Act have profound implications for the rights of indigenous peoples as set out in treaties, affirmed in the constitution, and pro-tected by international human rights standards.
The Conservative govern-ment’s abandonment of fed-eral jurisdiction over most
water bodies also means that:• Important water bod-
ies that provide safe drinking water, support fish resources, enable navigation for subsist-ence or recreation purposes, or have heritage values have little protection from develop-ment
• Canada is now at risk as we may be unable to fulfill our international obligations under the Boundary Waters Treaty
• Opportunities for pub-lic participation in decisions about water bodies are severe-ly diminished and will in most cases, be at the discretion of the Minister
A ‘secret’, May 2011 Environment Canada presen-tation on contamination of the Athabasca River released through access to informa-tion legislation, revealed sig-nificant harm being done to the ecosystem from tar sands operations.
Highlighted were threats to wildlife and downstream com-munities from high levels of hydrocarbons and heavy met-als, decreasing water levels and river flow, harm to fish, and alarmingly high levels of greenhouse gas emissions which the report estimated will rise 900 per cent by 2020 from 1990 levels.
Despite being made aware of the level of ecosystem destruction by this report the Conservative government still promotes the tar sands industry as a responsible and sustainable resource develop-ment.
I shudder to think what they will say and do now that the laws which provided at least some protection over waterways for the common interest have effectively been neutered.

T R A I L – T h e Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) is respected locally and beyond for our leadership in community-based lit-eracy programs, but this success could not have been possible without the part-nerships that exist across the region. Partnerships are essential to the work we do and the most effective have been a result of a few key ingredients.
First, an issue or challenge drives com-munities to seek solu-tions and participa-tion from traditional and non-traditional partners.
Second, a working relationship based on mutual respect, col-laboration and open communication must be established among partners.
Third, the acknow-ledgement of a shared goal and the steps to achieve that goal must be identified.
These ingredients become the beliefs and values of the partnership and cre-ate a forward path to change.
Across the region, partnerships are working to support literacy initiatives. Regionally, CBAL partners with Selkirk College, College of the Rockies, Okanagan College and College of New Caledonia to support adult lit-eracy initiatives. As a result, more adults are able to participate in learning opportun-ities in non-tradition-al settings. These programs support the development of parenting, life, work-place and academic skills.
Locally, CBAL pro-grams are partner-ing daily to deliver programs. Not only does CBAL partner with colleges, but we partner with school districts, libraries and other community organizations. Visit
cbal.org to see what is happening in your community.
One of the great-est partnerships that have developed from the communities is the community lit-eracy planning com-
mittee. These committees
focus on identifying challenges and issues concerning literacy, share resources and information and focus efforts on creat-ing a healthy learning
community. These commit-
tees demonstrate that working together is essential in achieving what we cannot do alone.
You can make a difference in your
local community. Participate in the Reach a Reader cam-paign by purchasing a paper on Oct. 9 in Fruitvale and Oct. 10 in Trail, volunteer-ing to sell papers, or simply spreading the
word as a campaign champion.
To get involved, contact the Trail Times or Sonia Tavares, Community Literacy Coordinator Greater Trail at [email protected].

T H E N E L S O N S T A RThe already much-
delayed Nelson out-door skatepark is facing one final delay. But this time it can’t be blamed on any pol-itical dithering: it’s purely Mother Nature’s fault.
While the facil-ity in Art Gibbon Park in Rosemont was expected to hold its ribbon cutting on October 12, due to recent heavy rain, the ground is too satur-ated with water for crews to complete the project by then.
“Pilling a few hun-dred people in there would give us a great Woodstock kind of vibe though,” skatepark society spokesman Chad Hansen joked.
Opening day has
been postponed until spring, though an
exact date hasn’t been set.

B y T i m e s s T a f fA dusting of snow on area moun-
tain tops is a gentle reminder that ski season is just around the corner, so it is time to start thinking about hitting the slopes and signing young skiers up with the Red Mountain Racers or Nancy Green Ski League.
The Red Mountain Racers (RMR) will kick off another season with their annual ski swap on Oct. 26 at Willi Krause Field House in Trail.
Gear check-in starts at 8:30 a.m. and goes to 11:30 a.m. with experi-enced volunteers on hand to help price your gear. There is a charge of $1 per checked item.
Experienced volunteers will help new skiers and old select the best gear for their ability and dollar, and, as an added bonus, representatives from Red Resort will be present to take photos for season passes to early bird season pass holders.
RMR executive members will also be at the Swap to take Nancy Greene Ski League registrations for the upcoming year. Check the Red Mountain Racers website (www.red-mountainracers.com) for updated registration packages, and don’t for-get that early-bird registration ends Nov. 19.
The Nancy Greene Ski League is open to young skiers from five to 12 years old who are able to ride Red Chair and is the “FUNdamental” stage of ski racing.
“We really want to promote a love of skiing as a lifelong sport, through introducing kids to ski racing in a fun, encouraging environment,” said Phil Patterson, head coach of Red Mountain Racers.
“Attending races is optional. We focus on enjoying the snow with friends whether free-skiing or in the gates.”
Every Saturday for 10 weeks, ski-ers will be introduced to basic ski-ing technique and skills to ski in as many different snow conditions and terrains as possible.
The program also promotes basic ski safety, knowledge, teamwork, self-confidence and most of all, how to have fun on skis.
Each year skiers can participate within their club in team and indi-vidual competitions. Included in the price are optional races that take place at Red and other local hills throughout the area with other Nancy Greene teams.
The focus while competing is on the opportunity to test the skills learned in the program, with an emphasis on team results and cama-raderie. While the program does have an element of gate training and competition, fostering a love of the sport is the primary goal.
For information on the Nancy Greene Ski League, please contact [email protected].

Swim Club’s Ian Markus is on Swim BC’s elite radar.
Markus was recent-ly selected by Swim BC to attend the Thompson-Okanagan-Kootenay Regional Training Camp this weekend in Penticton.
The 11-year-old’s great results this sum-mer where he placed second in both the 100- and 200-metre free at the AAA Long Course Provincial Meet in Vancouver, his 200 Individual-Medley standing, and his over-all point total for the season has marked the talented swimmer for further development by Swim BC.
The Provincial Team Program, one of Swim BC’s proud-est accomplishments over the past decade, will continue to serve swimmers aged 13-17,
bringing swimmers from across the prov-ince together for both training and competi-tion. Swim BC visits the various regions of the province to develop the next tier of swimmers - among the best in their respective regions.
The Regional Training Camps (RTCs) meanwhile seek to build on and enhance the already highly success-ful Provincial Team Program.
The RTCs take the same philosophy developed and deliv-ered for these 13-to-17-year-old swim-mers and brings it to a much broader base of swimmers aged 10-13 years. This will take the form of train-ing camps in each region (Northwest, Northeast, Vancouver Island, Thompson-Okanagan-Kootenay, and Lower Mainland) over the course of the season.
By going out to the regions, Swim BC can effectively work with a much greater num-ber of athletes. With 30-35 swimmers at each Regional camp, Swim BC is looking to reach over 200 10-to-12-year-old swimmers.
Swim BC is seek-ing to align the RTC program with the goals and direction of the Provincial Team Program to deliver exceptional athletes to Canada’s National teams of the future.

Eaters continue to wheel and deal, as the club sent recent acqui-sition Brodyn Nielsen, 19, to the Whitecourt Wolverines of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, in exchange for 1 8 - y e a r - o l d d e f e n c e m a n Sean Davies.
D a v i e s , a native of D r u m h e l l e r, Alberta, posted one goal and two points in five appear-ances with Whitecourt this season. In 104 career AJHL regular-season and playoff games with Whitecourt and the Olds Grizzlys, the six-foot-one-inch Davies has recorded a total of seven goals, 18 points and 45 penalty minutes.
Davies will be the fourth new face to don the Orange and Black in the past two weeks with Bryan Basilico from the USHL’s Green Bay Gamblers and Thunder Bay native Dylan Mascarin join-ing the team last week-
end. Nakusp native Greyson Reitmeier, 17, was signed by the Smokies from the Fernie Ghostriders of the KIJHL two weeks ago, after Mitch Foyle
decided to leave the team in favour of the Beaver Valley Nitehawks.
N ie l sen , f r o m Vancouver, put up two assists in nine games with the S m o k e Eaters this
season after being acquired in a mid-summer deal from the Chilliwack Chiefs.
Davies is expected to make his Smoke Eaters debut Friday when Trail hosts the Alberni Valley Bulldogs at 7:30 p.m. at the Cominco Arena. On Saturday, Merritt comes to town for its fourth meeting with Trail this season.
For ticket informa-tion, call 368-5000. For more info, please contact the Smoke Eaters office at 364-9994.

Castlegar golfer Al Cummings (left) and coach Ben Postmus of Fruitvale are off to the Canadian Special Olympic Golf Championship, which tees off on Thursday at the UBC Golf Course in Vancouver. Cummings is one of 10 BC golfers and 40 from across the country to compete in the three-round, 54-hole event. Cummings was also selected for Team BC at the 2014 Canadian Special Olympic Summer Games in Vancouver next June.
SpeciaL OLympicS GOLf
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SWith NHL play underway, stories unfold,
events evolve, and pundits postulate, but after ample consideration here are the top 10 poten-tial news stories for the upcoming season and beyond.
Winter OlympicsSpeculation on who should make 2014
Olympic squads, especially Canada’s, will be rampant through the first half of the season. Players from the 12 countries that qualified for the Games in Sochi, Russia, will certainly have it in mind as they approach the Feb. 9-25 Olympic break.
Outdoor inflationThere used to be one outdoor game per sea-
son. This year there will be six. It may be over-exposure, but the Jan. 1 to March 2 period will see Leafs vs. Red Wings, Ducks vs. Kings, Rangers vs. Devils, Rangers vs. Islanders, Penguinss vs. Blackhawks and Senators vs. Canucks. All in baseball or football venues.
RealignmentInstead of six divisions, there will be four - the
Atlantic, Metropolitan, Central and Pacific. The top three in each division plus two wild cards in each conference make the playoffs. There are 16 teams in the Eastern Conference and 14 in the West, which has sparked complaints that it will be tougher to qualify in the East.
New rivalriesThe Leafs, Sens and Habs will now have
Detroit in their division, while the Oilers, Flames and Canucks are in with the U.S. West Coast clubs. Jets are in the Central. No more Detroit-Chicago divisional derbies, but at least all teams will play each other, whereas in recent years some teams didn’t meet at all.
Smaller padsGoalies will cover a little less space this season
as pads have been chopped in length by an inch or two. Whether the change will result in more goals is debatable. Shallower nets mean there will also be a little extra room for playmaking.
Roy era in ColoradoFor the last eight years, Patrick Roy has been
a fiery presence as GM and head coach of the junior Quebec Remparts. Now the Hall of Fame goaltender is the coach in Colorado, and has a say in management with old teammate Joe Sakic. With Roy’s gusto and lots of young talent, the Avalanche won’t go unnoticed.
Coach swapSo the highly strung John Tortorella leaves
the Rangers and is hired by the Canucks, only to see low-key Alain Vigneault leave Vancouver to coach in New York. Is this just what the Sedin twins need in Vancouver, and what Brad Richards and Rick Nash need on the Rangers?
FisticuffsIs goon hockey back? It looked like it in some
pre-season games, notably Toronto-Buffalo. The Leafs added muscle last year, the Sabres got the hulking John Scott and now even mild-man-nered Montreal has signed George Parros. Hard to believe given that after the 2004-05 lockout, it looked like the enforcer was going extinct.
Stanley Cup repeat?There hasn’t been a repeat Stanley Cup cham-
pion since the Red Wings in 1997 and 1998, but if another team does, it could be Chicago. They have the same core of Toews, Kane, Keith, Crawford, etc., as last season, when they played only 48 regular-season games. So fatigue will be less of a factor for the Cup winners.
MacKinnon-JonesThe weeks leading up to the 2013 NHL draft
was all about Nathan MacKinnon and Seth Jones. MacKinnon went first to Colorado, but Jones waited until fourth to go to Nashville. Two got picked in between (Alexander Barkov and Jonathan Drouin), but the MacKinnon-Jones debate rages on.
NHL’s top 10 stories for the new season
THE CANADIAN PRESSTORONTO - The Toronto
Maple Leafs and star forward Phil Kessel have agreed to terms on a US$64-million, eight-year contract extension Tuesday.
The deal was signed just hours before the Maple Leafs’ regular-season opener in Montreal.
The contract includes a lim-ited no-trade clause. Kessel had one season left on his previous deal at $5.4 million.
“I’ll be on the hook for some team dinners here or there, but
I don’t mind,” Kessel said at a press conference in Montreal on Tuesday. “I always wanted to be (in Toronto). This is the place I want to play. I want to finish my career here. It’s a great city, the organization’s unbelievable, and I’m really excited to con-tinue here.”
Kessel had 20 goals and 32 assists in 48 games last season. He has 379 points (185-194) in 504 regular-season games over seven seasons with Toronto and Boston.
The six-foot, 202-pound
native of Madison, Wis., has 21 points (13-8) in 22 career play-off games. He had four goals, including two game-winners, in Toronto’s seven-game first-round playoff loss to Boston last season.
Joffrey Lupul also signed for the next five seasons at $5.25 million per year. Toronto also recently signed free agent David Clarkson for seven years at $5.52 million annually along with centre Tyler Bozak for five years with a $4.2-million annual cap hit.

The bidding: North, with his 18 points, no five card
major and equal length in the min-ors (Not 3-3), opens one diamond. His partner replies one spade. North knows they have enough for game, but cannot bid notrump with a single-ton in partner’s suit. He makes a jump shift into clubs showing 18 points. This is forcing to game and shows 5-5 or better.
North has other strong bids in his arse-nal such as a two club opener, a reverse and a jump in notrump. His hand is not good enough for a two club
opener. He cannot do a reverse because the lower ranking suit is not longer and he can-not jump in notrump because of the single-ton in partner’s suit.
One improves one’s bidding immensely by refusing to run to notrump without notrump distribution.
South, after his partner made a jump shift, knows they are in the ball park of a small slam or even a grand slam. He asks for keycards over three clubs so clubs is the assumed trump even if they never plan to play there. North shows two keycards with the queen of clubs.
South asks for kings by bidding five notrump. Asking for kings promises that the partnership has all the keycards. One asks for kings only when trying for a grand slam and one would not do this missing a keycard including the queen of trumps.
North has one king and South counts his
tricks. He has two spades, one heart, four or five diamonds and five clubs. He can assume partner is five-five in the minors. If North were six-five, he would bid seven notrump once his partner shows all the keycards. Eleven tricks in the minors and two aces make thirteen tricks. However, North is five-five and can only count to twelve tricks.
If North asks for keycards and kings, he can get to seven notrump. It is usually important that the strong hand does the asking for keycards. Here it is not possible. South must settle for six notrump because
he does not know about the queen of diamonds. I would not blame North for cor-recting six notrump to seven notrump. After all, it is the correct bid.
The Lead: Against a slam, one likes to lead an ace in a suit not bid by the opponents or the top of touching honours. West does not lead the Queen of spades because it was bid by an oppo-nent and leads the top of nothing in hearts. One never leads from unsupported honours against a slam.
The play: Declarer wins the ace of hearts and claims 13 tricks.
The Result: 6NT+1 for +1470.

Dear Annie: I recent-ly became engaged to my boyfriend of four years. Immediately after he proposed, I phoned my parents, who always gave the impression that they liked my boyfriend and enjoyed spending time with him. I thought they’d be happy for us. I was very wrong.
My mom was really angry and said that I am “way too young” to be getting married. Annie, I’m in gradu-ate school. My dad said that my boyfriend “isn’t good enough” and that I should “ser-iously reconsider this guy.” (This guy! Like he doesn’t have a name.)
I am still in school, so perhaps this is their way of expressing their worry that if I get mar-ried I won’t finish my graduate program, but regardless, I’m really hurt by their reaction. I’ve tried reassuring them, but they keep brushing me aside, insisting I’m marrying too young and to the
wrong man. I cannot figure out
their problem. We are in our late 20s, which doesn’t strike me as “too young.” And if they truly believe my fiance isn’t the right person, why didn’t they say so in the intervening four years? Why won’t they give me any con-crete reasons for their objections? Sometimes I think what they’re really objecting to is the presence of another person in our small, close-knit family. But it seems selfish of them to place the current family dynamic over my future marriage and happiness. Kids grow up. They get mar-ried.
I never in my wildest nightmares thought my engagement would be such a source of anger. What do you think about this? -- Sad Bride-To-Be
Dear Sad: It does seem as though your parents suddenly real-ized that you are leav-ing the nest and they are panic stricken. Since they refuse to discuss their reasons with you, please ask a trusted friend or family member to intercede on your behalf and try to ascertain whether their objections have any justification. But ultimately, the deci-sion about marriage belongs to you. We hope your parents will welcome your groom into the family instead of pushing you both away.
Dear Annie: I am 84 and have five children, 10 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchil-dren. I am twice wid-owed, and one of my boyfriends also died.
I now have a new
boyfriend. He is upset with two of my daugh-ters-in-law and a son-in-law because when they see me they say, “Hello, Mother-in-Law!” He says they are being disrespectful for not using my name. He says they should call me “Grandma” or “Mom” or my given name.
This has caused a problem between us. What do you think? -- J.G.
Dear J.G.: Your boy-friend has no business issuing orders about how your children or their spouses address you. If it doesn’t both-er you, it shouldn’t bother him. He sounds bossy and controlling. Tell him to back off.
Dear Annie: “Phone Me,” the 28-year-old who did not find out about her high school reunion because she isn’t on social media, needs to be proactive. Don’t blame others because you didn’t seek out the informa-tion. If you know it is
the 10th year of your graduation, contact the school or ex-classmates and find out whether anything is planned.
I have been on every reunion com-mittee since I gradu-ated in 1979. We do the best we can to con-tact people. However,
it gets expensive send-ing out invitations by regular mail. Word of mouth and seeking out the information is key. So perhaps in anticipation of the next reunion, “Phone Me” could make the effort to find out instead of being “left out.” -- Mary

Decision about marriage is a personal one
Leisure
For Thursday, Oct. 3, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Relationships are tricky today. They could be trou-blesome because one or both parties wants more freedom. People will resent rules, expectations and feel-ing confined. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Things are unpredictable at work today, perhaps due to technological glitches, computer crashes, canceled meetings or staff shortages. Be prepared. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Gemini parents should be alert today, because this is an accident-prone day for their children. Be vigilant and patient. Angry atmo-spheres promote accidents. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Small appliances could break down today, or minor breakages could occur. Family discord due to con-flicts or surprises might
take place. Someone might be rebellious and demand-ing. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day, so slow down and take it easy. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Your daily routine will defi-nitely have some detours. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your financial situa-tion is unpredictable today. You might find money; you might lose money. Something you own might get broken, lost or stolen. Stay in touch with your bank account. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You feel restless and ready for action. You don’t want others telling you what to do, which is why you will rebel against restraints. You want the freedom to do your own thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Something that is going
on behind the scenes might disturb your peace of mind. You feel it, but you might not know how to define it. It’s like waiting for the other shoe to drop. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might want to break away from a group today because you no longer agree with the mandate or cause. Or someone might split apart from you. People are independent today.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) If bosses or authority figures shock or offend you today, don’t overreact. Sleep on whatever happens so that you can give everything a sober second thought. Guard against knee-jerk reactions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Many things will be upsetting today --among them will be travel plans
and school schedules. Expect delays and cancella-tions in your day. Someone unusual might amaze you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Unexpected news about the wealth and resources of others might surprise you. It could affect you favorably or not. It is something out of the blue. YOU BORN TODAY You are hip and up-to-date. You like to be aware of the latest
fashions and trends in soci-ety. In fact, you’re interest-ed in everything around you in an intense way. Many of you are comfortable being role models, which is why you often set the pace for your family or group. This year is the beginning of a fresh, exciting new cycle. Open any door!
