GREAT GRAPES
B Y V A L E R I E R O S S ITimes Staff
Do you pay for rent or fill a prescrip-tion?
This is a very real predicament some-one may face, particularly a senior who's wallet may be deflating while health care needs are expanding.
“It's a Catch 22,” according to Ron Cameron of the Trail Society for the Protection and Care of Seniors (SPCS).
Members of the advocacy group have put their personal political views aside in search for just the facts for voters decid-
ing which party to back in the upcoming federal election.
Volunteers will be out knocking on doors this Sunday to ask residents to pledge a vote.
“We're asking people to sign a pledge form that says they will vote for the candidate who commits to providing a comprehensive health-care program at the federal level,” Cameron explained.
Contact information collected will be shared with the BC Health Coalition (BCHC), a non-profit and non-partisan organization that will evaluate where each party stands on health care solu-tions and then develop an election guide
to send out to those who pledged.
“What we're saying is there's a tie between pov-erty and health care and that's why the develop-ment of a strategy and a national PharmaCare plan is important,” he added. “Most seniors in poverty are
women, the majority of them, and they will not fill prescriptions or take medi-cation that's prescribed because it's too expensive.”
But the group isn't just looking out for seniors right now. The conversation around health care is open to all demo-graphics.

Linda Radtke worries about goodwill in the Trail community being stretched to the limit.
New faces are coming through the Salvation Army doors everyday, and it's getting tougher and tougher to feed them.
But hunger is non-denominational and these days it takes many churches, local stores and busi-nesses plus a host of volunteers to meet the needs of the less fortunate in the Trail area.
Shelves were near bare at the Salvation Army food bank when the community stepped up in the nick of time, donating about $7,000 worth of food and $240 in cash.
The sizeable proceeds came in from Kootenay Savings Credit Union (KSCU) a few weeks ago fol-lowing the organization's annual Outdoor Movie Night, which attracted over 2,000 people.
Admission was free, but a non-perishable food item is requested.
“This is such a big deal because we were get-ting so low,” says Manager Linda Radtke from the Trail Salvation Army. “Our numbers have been so high with new clients and more people coming in who just can't make it.”
Another church community has stepped in to help feed the hungry in Salmo, Fruitvale and Castlegar as well as the Trail United Church and Trail Salvation Army branch.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints hosted a “Giant Garage Sale” on Saturday with all proceeds going to the five local food banks.
Bishop Peter Redekop says the event, which the church hosts every two years, brought out community spirit in all ages, and over $3,700.

A two-over-one response is game forcing except in com-
p e t i t i o n where it shows ten points and p r o m i s e s a rebid. This is the same as for S t a n d a r d American. As a result, one needs to know Standard American well before learning any new sys-tem.
The bidding: South, with 17 HCP’s, opens his five-card major with a One Heart bid. West has 12 HCP’s and
a good six-card Spade suit and overcalls One Spade. His hand is too strong for a Two
Spade bid. Furthermore, one does not pre-empt the auction with a four-card major or an opening hand unless part-ner is a passed
hand.North has nine
HCP’s and a very good five-card suit so he bids Two Clubs. This is not game forcing, as it only shows ten points. The Queen Jack doubleton is not wasted as this is partner’s bid suit.
South has a big hand and jumps in clubs. He could splin-ter by making a Three Spade bid, showing four-card support, Spade shortness and extra values, but one does not splinter with a singleton honour.
North chooses a Four Heart contract instead of Five Clubs. The two heart honours should prove useful. Four Hearts scores better and is one level lower.
The Play: West leads the Queen of Spades asking partner to drop the Jack or give count. East obliges and drops the Jack. West knows he can safely play Spades without losing a trick.
Declarer draws trump and then plays clubs. West wins the ace and returns a Spade. Declarer ruffs with his last trump, and to play it smart, he cashes the Diamond Ace. West likely has the King, and declarer makes sure he does not lose the diamond finesse to a singleton King. West is marked
with this King because East could not muster a simple Spade raise. Declarer makes +680.
If declarer takes the diamond finesse with-out paying attention to the bidding, he will be
down. To play it safe and make 11 tricks, he takes five Hearts, four Clubs, one Spade and one Diamond. When he takes the Diamond Ace, he gets a 12th trick.

The highway between Rossland, Trail and the Beaver Valley will be twinkling with light Thursday night as the West Kootenay Road Runners ride their way through town.
The association has organized a night ride with a twist – riders will have foot-and-a-half long flashing LED light wands on their bike, leaving a rainbow light trail from the Rossland Museum to the Beaver Valley Arena.
Road Runner president, Ian McLeod brought the event back to the area for a second year after participating in similar gatherings elsewhere in the province.
“This is something different that you don't see happen here,” he said. “Anyone with a motorcy-
cle is welcome to come join up, you do not need to be a member.”
Riders interested in participating rather than just seeing the sights, can show up in the parking lot of the Rossland Museum at 7:30 p.m. with the ride leaving at 8 p.m.
The LED light wands will be for sale before the ride for $10 each or two for $15. Proceeds will go toward next year's Rally in the Valley.
“We want to raise money for the live music, games and things like that,” McLeod said. “It is a good time.”
McLeod is hoping for an even bigger turnout that the inaugural ride last September.
“It should be a good show and we are hop-ing to get as many bikes out as possible,” he explained. “We bought 300 lights, so it would be nice to get 300 motorcycles, but you never know.”

FROM PAGE 1“Trail is my favour-
ite place because they keeping giving and giving,” said Radtke.
“It’s tremendous but it’s scary because we have just bled the public to death,” she explained.
“We already have a few things planned, like Fill the Bus, but we are going to need a lot of prayer to make it through Christmas.”
Elsewhere the com-munity digs in weekly to feed people through the Tuesdays in Trail program.
Volunteers from the Anglican, United and Holy Trinity Parish gather in church base-ments to welcome long lines of people into their food bank that serves on average, 130 people.
“The United Church
philosophy is, we feed hungry people, that’s all it is,” say Marylynn Rakuson, volunteer for the Trail United Church food bank.
“The churches are totally funded by the community and run by volunteers. And if you are hungry in Trail, you can get food every Tuesday.”
The food bank is run in the Trail United Church three times each month, and
across the street at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church the second Tuesday each month.
Half an hour into this week’s service, volunteers had already dispersed 37 bags of non-perishables as well as donated bread, yogurt, and fresh pota-toes, onions, carrots and apples.
“We have so many new people in town,” Rakuson explained. “We did the downtown
dinner on Sunday and the volunteers were saying, “Holy moly are there ever a whole bunch of new people in town,” she added.
“We have our regu-lar ones but also many new ones and many more families access-ing us.”
For more infor-mation or a tour of the food bank, con-tact Rakuson at 250.364.2604 or Linda Zol at 250.367.9185.

&&OBITUARIES FUNERAL NOTICESElio Antonio Abramo Parisotto
Born January 3, 1928.It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of
Elio Parisotto on September 19, 2015.Elio came to Trail from Loria, Treviso, Italy with his
parents Bruno and Maria and younger brothers to start a new life in Canada.
He worked as a carpenter at Teck Cominco for over 30 years and also applied his trade and tremendous skill as a furniture refinisher. He was a skilled artisan and
woodworker creating wonderful and elegant pieces from turkey calls to elaborate grandfather clocks.
Elio was a passionate hunter and looked forward to annual hunting trips with close friends; he could talk for hours on this subject and was a true sportsman, especially looking forward to his trips to Alberta. He cherished his hunting friendships and experiences and could recall each of them vividly. He also loved his German Short-Haired hunting dogs, and told many stories of their retrieving
abilities with love and admiration.Elio loved to garden and, of course, make wine. He was
a life-long member of the Colombo Lodge and there he enjoyed singing as part of the chorus, dancing and
socializing. Most recently, Elio appreciated the kind and thoughtful staff and community of friends at Chateau
Manor for their love, care and concern.Elio maintained a sharp mind to his last days – he had
an excellent memory of facts of the Italian community in Trail and great recall of people, connections and events.
So many admired his encyclopedic knowledge and story-telling.
Elio is predeceased by his parents Bruno and Maria and by his first wife Lorna. He is survived by his children
Patricia, Lawrence (Rita), and Robert; his four beautiful grandchildren Kate, Lauren, Megan and Sydney; by his
second wife Maria; by his brothers Frank (Dorothy), Walter (Amelia) and Roger (Carol); by his cherished
nieces and nephews; by his Zias and Zios; by his many cousins; and by close family members and friends in Trail, Italy and abroad all of whom provided him tremendous
love and support. He will be sorely missed and remain in the hearts of those who knew him.
The family would like to thank Dr. Stanley, Elio’s family doctor that he greatly respected and the wonderfully skilled and compassionate staff in Emergency, ICU
and 3rd Floor Family Room at Trail Regional Hospital, especially over the last several days of his life.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Holy Trinity Catholic Parish, 2012 Third Avenue, Trail, BC on
Monday, September 28, 2015 at 11:00 am with Father Bart van Roijen, Celebrant. Interment at Mountain View

Nancy was born in Winni-peg, MB on Sept 8, 1919 and passed on Sept 16, 2015 at the age of 96.
Nancy was predeceased by her husband of 62 years, Henry
Alexander Erzinger, in 2012, and infant son, Timothy. She was also
predeceased by brothers, Edmund and William Parker, sisters Margaret Prest and Katherine McKay. She is survived by sister Eleanor Hodgson of Winnipeg, MB, sons Edmund (Colleen) of Peachland, BC, Stephen (Debbie) of Regina, SK, Jon (Jess) of Surrey, BC, 9 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.
Nancy had a degree in Home Economics and worked in Montreal Children’s Hospital. After WWII, she returned to Winnipeg where she met and married Henry in 1949. They spent time in northern Canada teaching in a mission and spent several years living in Western Canada before settling in Castlegar, BC where they enjoyed life in a small community for several decades. Nancy attended Castlegar Baptist Church. Recently she moved to West Kelowna and began attending Lakeview Baptist Church.
Nancy enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, often hosting large meals as a way to gather her loved ones together. She would keep in touch with friends and family through handwritten letters. When her grandchildren did come to visit, they could often fi nd her walking through her garden or sitting on the deck overlooking her beautiful backyard. When her grandchildren could coax her out of the kitchen, she was always ready to play a board game in the living room. Her deep love for others was founded in her close relationship with God, which she has lovingly passed on to her three sons.
She loved well, was well loved, and her memory will be cherished by those who loved her for many years to come.
The family would like to thank the staff of The Her-itage in West Kelowna, Dr. Johan Wannenburg, the nursing staff of Kelowna General Hospital and C.A.T. Clinic in West Kelowna, for the care of their mother.
A celebration of Nancy’s life will be held May long weekend 2016 in Fruitvale, BC. Details will follow.
In lieu of fl owers, donations can be made to The Heart and Stroke Foundation, Canadian Bible Society or the Alzheimer Society.

FROM PAGE 1The public was given
a chance to hear from two of the federal can-didates – NDP Richard Cannings and Liberal Connie Denesiuk – last week when SPCS
hosted a forum during Thursday afternoon.
The group injected some questions during the open mike part of the presentation.
Topics centered around the negotiation of a new health accord with the provinces, protection of Medicare, the universal and pub-licly funded health-care system, provision of adequate funding to sustain and improve the public system, implementation of a national PharmaCare program and investing in a national seniors’ health care strategy.
R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s from the BCHC will be hand on this weekend to further address the topic by helping canvas the Trail area. Adam Lynnes-Ford and Jen Kuhl will hold a brief orientation session before the volunteers go out in pairs to spe-cific neighbourhoods in the Trail area.
The campaign is an initiative developed by BCHC to encour-age people to support federal election candi-dates who commit to a comprehensive pub-lic healthcare system, as mandated by the Canada Health Act.
“It is a non-partisan effort with a major goal of not only asking peo-ple to commit to vote positively for a strong Medicare program but also to be sure to vote in the federal election,” said Cameron.
“One of the things we’re focused on is wanting people to get out and vote, and we feel that if people sign a form or pledge sheet then it kind of com-mits them and they will get out and vote.”
Anyone interested in doing the door-to-door canvass should come to the United Church (1300 Pine Ave.) at 1 p.m. Sunday.
Residents will be asked to cast a ballot in the newly formed South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding Oct. 19.
Other candidates include Conservative’s Marshall Neufeld, the Green Party’s Samantha Troy and independent candidate Brian Gray.

Castlegar NewsThe Canadian Parents for French
recently circulated a press release cele-brating recording- breaking French immersion enrollment in the Kootenay Columbia area, but Bill Ford, assistant superintendent for School District No. 20, says the press release isn’t really looking at the context behind the num-bers.
“What they do is they just track pure
numbers. They don’t know the districts story at all,” said Ford.
Though the district’s French immer-sion enrollment is up, it’s because the district has been significantly expand-ing its French immersion programs.
Historically the French immersion program in the district has been a late immersion program for grades 6 to 12. That program began in Castlegar and was expanded to Rossland four years ago for kids in grades 6 to 9.
Since each Rossland class has approximately 30 students, that means that the program has expanded by 30 students each year over the past four years, as the first group of grade sixes moved onto grade seven and a new group started the program in Grade 6, etc. Now that the first group has reached Grade 9, the program will no longer be growing by 30 students each year, and should level off.

B Y W I L L J O H N S O NNelson Star
News of a fourth pot dispensary potentially moving to the down-town core of Nelson — joining three existing locations on Front St. — has spurred high-level dialogue about the controversial facilities, according to Mayor Deb Kozak, and exploratory conversa-tions on the topic of legalization and regu-lation have already begun.
“We’re in a bit of a conundrum,” she told the Star. “There are conversations going on at the police board and on council, and the fact is pot dispensaries are not legal and con-travene our bylaws. At this point we have not made a decision, but it will probably come up as council starts set-ting our priorities in October.”
Kozak’s comments came on the heels of community com-plaints surrounding a new dispensary poten-tially moving into the former location of the Coconut Lounge at 116 Vernon St.
Landlord Dana Rothkop said the
lease has not yet been signed, but neighbours have been informed the new facility could move in as soon as Oct. 1.
He didn’t respond to additional ques-tions.
Kozak said current dispensaries are faced with a dilemma.
“Right now these dispensaries have to decide whether they’re going to operate with-out a license. And there are fines asso-ciated with that,” she said.
Recently the city rejected a busi-ness license for the Cannaclinic on Front St., accepting their application but serv-ing them with a $100 bylaw fine rather than approving it. City man-ager Kevin Cormack said there has never been a license pur-posely granted for a dispensary in Nelson, but some may have inadvertently flown under the radar.
“In some cases they will say ‘we’re Pacific Apparel Society’ or something like that, and they’ll give no indication that what they’re actually selling
doesn’t correspond with what they told us.”
Cormack said though Kimberley recently began approv-ing business licenses to dispensaries, and Kozak has been liais-ing with the mayor and council there, he would not recommend granting a business license unless the cur-rent bylaw is rewrit-ten.
“As staff we’re obli-gated to work within the bylaws passed by council, and it’s coun-cil’s role to grant a business license.
All communities are being challenged with this, and ultim-ately it’s going to be the federal govern-ment or the courts that make decisions on this. The laws in place are being challenged and there have been early decisions creat-ing uncertainty.”
Nelson deputy police chief Paul Burkart said they have been in close contact with both the Nelson Compassion Club, formed in 1999 and recently moved to Front St., as well as the newly arrived Cannaclinic directly across the street from it.
Burkart, Cormack and Kozak didn’t men-tion the Kootenays Medicine Tree at 601 Front St., a dispens-ary with another loca-tion in Grand Forks that was recently shut-tered.
“We will continue to look at the dispens-
aries as they come in, or when we get com-plaints,” he said
Burkart feels ambivalent about how things are developing, but is willing to do whatever’s necessary to ensure the com-munity is “safe and happy.”
“I’m not thrilled,” said Burkart. “I under-stand the need for some people to use different products, but one concern is com-ing up from the States where it’s legal and now they’re getting overdoses and related deaths coming from non-smoking products like edibles.”
He said pot users often brag that there have been no deaths related to smoking weed, but “we’re not smoking it anymore, we’re taking it as these derivatives and our concern is if that con-tinues.”
Burkart said they’re more concerned about fentanyl, though, which has been caus-ing a number of deaths and overdoses.
“Our wish is for the federal government to set some regulations that will keep us happy and safe. That’s what we want.”
Burkart said the current pot-dispens-ing operations have not necessitated the type of intervention police displayed last year in working with insurance companies to evict entrepreneur Kyle Lindroos from two locations.
Burkart said cit-
izens concerned about unsavoury characters and unlawful activ-ity in the area around these dispensaries needn’t worry.
“We will follow up with these dispensaries to ensure they’re not doing anything out-side of what the courts are allowing them to do. Anything outside those parameters we’ll be enforcing.”
Kozak said a long-er term strategy for addressing these dis-pensaries is in the works, but will have to wait until after the federal election.
“We’re in a bit of a bind. There are some people in the com-munity who are very in favour of dispens-aries, and that reflects the diversity of opin-ions in our commun-ity. As with anything, in times of change legislation is often way behind social move-ments, and it takes time for these things to move forward,” she said.
“The police will be coming forward with a proposal — they’re in the same situation council is — and we’re all waiting to hear what the federal gov-ernment says.”
Burkart said any-one concerned doesn’t have to worry because police are well aware of the situation.
“Right now they’ve tightened up, to be honest, and the courts are requiring some caution. So for the moment we’re sitting on our hands.”
NELSON
Mayor on pot dispensaries: ‘We’re in a bit of a bind’
FROM PAGE 4“For a small district like us, that was a
significant increase,” said Ford.The district also just launched a two-year
trial early immersion program in Castlegar this September with 22 kindergarden stu-dents, and will take on another 22 students next year.
“Next year the board will decide whether or not they’re going to support an early French immersion program full on,” said Ford. “So we’ll examine what have the learning outcomes been, how have the kids been handling the early program, is there still lots of interest in supporting the early program, and the board will decide whether or not the program is going to continue.”
If the early immersion program con-tinues, then the late immersion program will be fazed out once this year’s kindergar-deners reach grade six.
Asked whether or not the French immer-sion program has had any impact on the Russian program, Ford responded, “The board is proud that we offer three language programs in the north end of the district. It’s proud of the history ... of the Russian bilingual program, and its proud of the excitement and enthusiasm around its new early French immersion program.”
“These two programs don’t compete,” Ford continued. “The board is equally sup-portive of both programs and continues to work at ensuring that those programs will continue to operate.”

OPINION
Debates help poke through the scripted messagesIf there is one thing
this protracted elec-tion season is show-ing us, it’s that a long
campaign and a variety of debates actually not only tell us more about the par-ties who want our vote, but also do a better job of engaging Canadians.
Stage-managed leader-ship debates are boring to most people because leaders merely recite rehearsed lines. It is nothing short of tedi-ous to watch predictable responses to anticipated questions. The abil-ity to stick to the script, however, diminishes as the number of debates increase.
That was apparent last week in the second national debate, which focused in the economy.
There was precious little from the three lead-ers that we haven’t heard before: Stephen Harper, we all know, believes cut-ting taxes actually leads to an increase revenue through increased eco-nomic activity for the gov-ernment; Justin Trudeau
believes running deficits for three years will give the economy the kick-start it needs; and Thomas Mulcair is the socialist who promises not to run a deficit.
As the evening’s mod-erator David Walmsley, the Globe and Mail’s Editor-in-chief, observed, we were watching an extraordinary moment in which the centrist Liberals were advocating deficits and leftist NDP were promising to balance the budget.
What was more inter-esting than the answers-by-rote, however, were the things that couldn’t be scripted: the body lan-guage, ability to think on their feet and all the other non-verbal ways in which the leaders were demon-strating their ability to take on a four-year man-date to lead the country through treacherous eco-nomic waters.
By these measures, the signals were telling.
Globe and Mail col-umnist John Ibbitson argues interestingly that
there are two election campaigns: one to deter-mine whether Harper’s Conservatives will be replaced and the second to decide which of the two alternatives will be acceptable. By that meas-ure, Harper’s attempt to remain “above the fray” and “prime ministerial” is a mixed experiment. His fans will see him as most fit; his critics may view his performance as aloof.
No one would accuse the two pretenders to the throne of being aloof at all. Liberal Justin Trudeau was so engaged, it seemed, he became literally breath-
less. That might be all well
and food in a high school debate, but does not play well when you’re try-ing to convince skeptical Canadians you have the chops for the top job.
The NDP’s Tom Mulcair, on the other hand, was cool and con-fident. More serious than in his first debate appear-ance, Mulcair showed the same quick wit and twink-ly-eyed sarcasm that has made him such a rock star in Parliament.
The “angry-Tom lite” version was a refreshing change from his “good-Tom” persona in the first debate.
When Mulcair poked fun over a “puff of smoke” comment from Trudeau in an allusion to his pro-pot legalization stance, Trudeau was left huffing and puffing helplessly like a beached whale.
The ability to deliver cheap shots artfully may not prove one fit for office (indeed, it could be argued it’s a bit undignified), but it does demonstrate the
intellectual agility we hope to see in our leaders.
Deciding who “wins” a debate is almost always tainted by partisanship. But the advantage to debate number 2 seemed to go to Mulcair.
The good news for Canadians is that they don’t have to vote tomor-row. There are three more national debates sched-uled, plus many campaign miles to be travelled. By the time Oct. 17 rolls around, Canadians really should have a clear sense of who they have confi-dence in.
Most importantly, the repeated opportunities to see the leaders engage in different debate for-mats over a broad range of nationally significant topics will give Canadians a better chance to make an informed decision about how to vote.
This lengthy campaign is starting to look like not such a bad idea at all.

ANNUAL SHORELINE CLEANUPSunday, September 27, 2015
Check out our classified pages andbeyond for local real estate listings.Neil Sedaka is right
breaking up is hard to do. It’s also expensive.
On September 15, residents of Vancouver learned that former chief administrator officer (CAO) Penny Ballem’s services had been “conclud-ed” that day by Mayor Gregor Robertson.
Ballem, 65, will receive $556,000 as a parting gift for the hastily arranged exit. News that u n d o u b t e d l y warmed the cockles of the hearts of resi-dents across the city when they learned of it.
Falling on the heels of word that Arvind Gupta will be paid $446,750 after he resigned as University of B.C. president in August, it’s no wonder taxpay-ers are irate.
In just over a month, they’re down $1 million, the same amount the B.C. gov-ernment has pledged to help Syrian refugees.
Ballem’s going away deal isn’t the exception that proves the rule. Sudbury’s former CAO will deposit a severance cheque in the neighbourhood of $330,000 after he was let go earlier this year.
But nor is Ballem’s deal the norm.
Fortunately – depending upon your perspective – there are two cities of comparable size that have parted ways with their CAOs in the last two years: Vancouver and Winnipeg.
Back when Ballem started at the city, in 2009, she made $313,577, a nice bump from the $230,958 she was pulling down as a deputy minister in the B.C. government.
Last year, she made
$334,617. Former Winnipeg CAO Phil Sheegl made $235,334 in 2013.
When Sheegl quit or was fired – take your pick – he walked away with $250,000. Peggers weren’t happy about it, though Vancouverites might see it as a bit of a bar-
gain.When the top
guns at city halls get canned, it’s a pretty safe bet that a six-figure severance cheque is attached to ease the transi-tion, but the vast majority of severance agree-ments fly by unnoticed.
In the six years from 2003 to 2008, Vancouver signed 31 agree-ments with its non-unionized staff. Severance ranged from one month to 18 months.
In the following six years, Vancouver signed another 49 agreements. Severance ranged from two weeks to 20 months.
One reason for the high number may lie in the “out with the old and in with the new” approach that comes with new mayors and their top staff in Vancouver.
When Larry Campbell took over as mayor, 10 severance agreements were signed with-in a year.
When Sam Sullivan took over, nine agreements. And when Gregor Robertson took over, seven, some for up to 20 months in severance.
Over at Metro Vancouver after signing 10 agreements between 2012 and 2013, they kept it to one last year.
At the labyrinth otherwise known as TransLink, 13 sever-ance agreements were inked in 2014 for between half a month and 15 months pay.
It might be an idea for
Vancouver – and the B.C. gov-ernment for that matter – to look to the Quebec govern-ment for a little guidance in negotiating contracts with senior staff.
Last month, the Quebec government fired the CEO of the Agence métropolitaine de transport, a regional transit service in the Montreal area.
Since it was a political choice, they had to pay sever-ance, all $103,120 of it.
When the B.C. government axed the general manager of BC Place Stadium in 2013, he left with $460,140.
In the midst of a recent leadership crisis, seven of Manitoba premier Greg Selinger’s staff left with a total of $670,000 in severance, an average of $95,714 each or about half the $184,615 aver-age that 13 members of former premier Gordon Campbell’s staff pocketed in 2011.
In five years ICBC paid out $25 million in severance, according to a 2012 govern-ment audit. To fix that mess the Crown corporation then spent another $2 million to say goodbye to seven more executives.
The Capital Regional District might want to sit in on any negotiating severance workshops as well.
The head of the CRD’s Seaterra sewage program is walking away with $500,000 at the end of September. Residents are supposed to take some solace in the fact that it’s meant to save money.
The big problem when sev-erance cheques are so tempt-ing is that there’s little incen-tive to make things work, which goes to underscore a political cartoon captioned: “Who cares if we didn’t get a bonus, the big money is in severance pay.”

BY TIMES STAFFThe Columbia
Operations Fisheries Advisory Committee (COFAC) is looking to the public for help in identifying spawning kokanee.
But not the land-locked salmon you see spawning in Kootenay Lake tributaries, these kokanee are “shoal spawners” that spawn on the gravel beaches throughout the West Arm of Kootenay Lake.
According to Sheila Street, Environmental Program Lead for FortisBC and member of COFAC, the com-mittee is “currently studying how Kootenay Lake water levels affect the spawning success
of the shoal-spawning kokanee.”
From mid-Septem-ber to mid-October, dam operators will draw down the water levels to 1,742 feet at Queen’s Bay for the one-month period. The lower lev-els will cause kokanee to lay their eggs at a lower elevation so that when the dams raise the water level for the winter, more eggs or redds will survive.
“Come spring, when the fish are emerging from their eggs and when the reservoir is drawn down to make room for spring melt, the expectation is that fewer redds will be stranded,” explained Street in the release.
“This means a high-er survival rate for the shoal spawning kokanee.”
Beachcombers, pad-dlers, and anglers can help with the study by calling the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch at 250-354-6333 if kokanee are spotted spawning on the lake shore. Report approxi-mately how many kokanee you see, and the precise location where you saw them on the lake.
COFAC is comprised of representatives from provincial and federal fisheries regulators, First Nations, and hydroelectric operators from the Columbia River system in B.C.
B Y J I M B A I L E YTimes Sports Editor
The Trail Commercial Hockey League (TCHL) is set to hit the ice Oct. 1, and will kick off the season with its annual draft on Thursday.
The five-team league wel-comes new players to sign up prior to the draft. So far eight new additions will go into the selection process but the league is hoping for more.
“We draft every year which fills up vacancies,” said TCHL president Grant Tyson. “Players quit, or move out of town . . . I don’t know everybody’s roster, but I know for sure one team needs five guys.”
The TCHL is a competitive, non-hitting league that allows slapshots and plays a 32 game schedule, decided by a playoff and championship game.
The league is one of the best in the West Kootenay
with skilled players from Trail, Rossland, Castlegar, Montrose, and Fruitvale playing up to two games per week.
The TCHL has been active for over 30 years, but with all its games played at the Cominco Arena in Trail, a clampdown on Trail Recreation Program and its sports passes last year threatened to alien-ate its Rossland-based players. However, last season the City of Trail provided a grant to the TCHL and repeated that gesture for this season. In a Sept. 18 special council meet-ing, Trail council voted to help out the league with a $3,000 grant as a TRP supplement due to the absence of a recreation agreement with Rossland.
“We would have lost a team if the Rossland guys couldn’t play,” said Tyson. “So we would have been down to four teams, and they would have lost that
ice time, the city, so by them giving us the grant they’re still making money.”
The loss of 13 Rossland players, the equivalent of a TCHL team, would have meant a reduction of 27 one-hour ice slots, translating to a $4,000 loss for the City and a severe detriment to the league.
“We appreciate the City of Trail helping us out, because we’d be down to four teams, and it would be pretty tough.”
Allstar won the TCHL championship last season, with a 5-3 upset over regular-season champion ReMax. OK Tire, Gericks and Arlington round out the league and will begin their quest for the TCHL title when the puck drops on Oct. 1.
New players can sign up at Gerick Sports by Thursday’s deadline or call Tyson at 368-1157.

TERRY FOX RUNJIM BAILEY PHOTOS
The 35th annual Terry Fox Run saw about 250 enthusiastic supporters descend on Gyro Park for the five-kilometre run, walk, or pedal through Sunningdale and along the beautiful Columbia River on Sunday. Young participants (below) first battled the Trail Smoke Eaters, shown warming up (bottom left), for the tug-of-war. The Teck Firefighters were there for their annual tug-of-war match against the Kootenay Boundary Search and Rescue crew, while Kiwanis once again provided a delicious breakfast. Thanks to the sponsors, volunteers, and all who participated, the Terry Fox Run raised close to $11,000 this year to help fund cancer research in Canada.

Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock learned his lesson about goaltenders almost 30 years ago in his first stop at Red Deer College. He split the duties between two goalies all season and into the playoffs, and the team was eliminated in the first round.
“I haven’t done that since,” Babcock said. “I like one guy to know he’s the guy.”
The same goes now for Leafs goalies Jonathan Bernier and James Reimer. Babcock wants one of them to grab the starting job and hold onto it, though he character-ized it as an open com-petition.
Bernier, who stopped 28 of 29 shots in his pre-season debut against the Ottawa Senators on Monday night, is still the best bet to be the No. 1 goaltender. But no
matter who wins the job, mind-ing goal for the Leafs should be simpler this season.
That’s because Babcock believes defenders should take care of backdoor plays and other situations that make goaltend-ers have to guess. He wants the goalie to have a good idea where shots are coming from.
“They’re trying to eliminate maybe some of the grey areas and just give guys that struc-ture and preparation,” Reimer said. “Guys are going to have their jobs of where they’re sup-
posed to be and who they’re supposed to be taking, and as a goalie you can just focus on the puck and the shooter.”
Reimer said his job is just to stop the puck. In previous years it wasn’t that easy.
“It’s an opportunity,” Reimer said. “It’s fun. You always want to play your best and you always want to have that opportunity to play and so now if you have that opportunity, you’re ready for it, I prepared and hopefully things work out the way I want them to.”

SUBMITTEDMore than half a mil-
lion British Columbians face significant challen-ges because of limited lit-eracy skills, whether it’s an inability to read the news-paper, or a lack of under-standing of important financial or health docu-ments.
Literacy skills are vital to all British Columbians because they are a neces-sary part of everyday life and impact everything from healthcare to employ-ment and economic status. Literacy is no longer just the ability to read or write, but encompasses a much wider scope of daily activ-ities - including using technology, doing calcula-tions, communicating ver-bally and in writing, and problem-solving.
This month, Black Press, Kootenay Savings Credit Union and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) are joining forces to raise funds and aware-ness about the import-ance of literacy with the 5th Annual Reach a Reader campaign. The campaign will culminate with com-munity leaders and vol-
unteers hitting the streets across the Columbia Basin and Boundary to distrib-ute special editions of local papers and collect dona-tions in support of com-munity-based literacy pro-grams.
The Reach a Reader campaign coincides with Decoda Literacy Solutions’ Literacy is Life Campaign; a province-wide fundraising and awareness campaign designed to put a human face on literacy and shed light on how low literacy affects children and adults, Aboriginal and immigrant communities, those in the workforce, and the econ-omy as a whole.
CBAL’s Executive Director, Ali Wassing, says “Literacy skills are essen-tial for a vibrant BC econ-omy, so addressing limited levels benefits everyone. We would encourage any-one who is affected by literacy issues to tap into the many resources and literacy programs available in their community.”
To find out more about literacy in Trail, contact Sonia Tavares at [email protected] or go to cbal.org.
Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) is a not-for-profit organization that develops, promotes and delivers lit-
eracy and essential skills services for people of all ages in the Columbia Basin and Boundary regions of British Columbia.
CBAL’s 16 Community Literacy Coordinators pro-vide services in 77 com-munities, working with local literacy advisory com-mittees to develop effect-ive literacy programs and resources in the commun-ities they serve.
Solutions: Decoda Literacy Solutions is the only prov-ince-wide literacy organiz-ation in British Columbia. As a non-profit organ-ization, Decoda provides resources, training and funds to support commun-ity-based literacy programs and initiatives in over 400 communities across the province. Decoda’s work supports children and fam-ilies, adult learners, and Aboriginal and immigrant communities in an effort to build strong individuals, strong families and strong communities.
Literacy skills are an essential tool in life

Dear Annie: I took early retire-ment and moved in with my son and daughter-in-law in order to help care for my five grandkids. At the time, my daughter-in-law was attending college and my son asked me to move in. I help pay the household expenses and also do the daily work around the house.
All my son and his wife do is fight and makeup repeatedly. Their con-stant battles make the kids nervous. It has been horrible. Sometimes, it turns violent and someone gets hurt. My son constantly bullies the kids, his wife and me. I stand up to him, but my grandchildren are too young to do the same.
My son came home drunk one evening and told me to get out of his house. He has no appreciation for how much I contribute both financially and physically to the care of his home and his children. I love my grandchildren and fear that without my presence, perma-nent damage will occur. I can find another place to live, but I am con-
cerned about the grandkids. -- Out of Options
Dear Options: If your son and his wife are likely to hurt the chil-dren or become drunk and abusive, you need to call the police and Child Protective Services to investigate. You can do so anonymously. If the authorities find there is a danger to the chil-dren, then the kids will be removed from the home. If you have already estab-lished another place of residence, then it’s possible the children will be placed with you or another rela-tive who can take them in. In the meantime, offer to take the kids as often as your son is willing to let you. It will give the parents time to cool off and de-stress, and allow the grandchildren to be in a more stable environment. Please don’t hesitate to put the children’s wel-fare first. You may be their last line
of defense. Dear Annie: My son and daugh-
ter-in-law were married a year ago. I recently discovered that they have not sent out thank-you cards to any of the guests, many of whom traveled a great distance to attend the wedding.
Is there anything that can be done at this point to make amends? -- Conundrum in
Canada Dear Canada: While thank-you
notes should be written as soon as possible, it is never too late to make amends. Your son and his wife should write each one by start-ing out, “We apologize for the tardi-ness of this note, but we wanted to let you know how much we appreci-ated your wedding gift.” And then they should write something specif-ic about each present they received. Rest assured, the recipients of these
notes will be glad to get them, no matter how late.
Many parents decide to take on this responsibility themselves, because their children are not only delinquent, but also unlikely to send any thank-you notes at all.
While it is not the parents’ job to do this, we understand those who are mortified that their family and friends have not had their gifts acknowledged and wish to take on the burden themselves. That is entirely up to you.
