PREPPING THE POOL FOR REOPENING

After 30 years of youngsters play-ing on the swings, slide and fun-house at the Montrose Park, it’s time for the village to replace the now faded equipment with some shiny modern features.

The village was allocated $20,000 by the Beaver Valley Recreation (BV Rec) Commission for the much needed upgrades that include a new set of bleachers at the Bernie McMahon Field.

The old ones were deemed no longer safe by municipal insurers last year along with the existing swing set and weathered play struc-ture.

Montrose council reconvened

Monday night after a one-month hiatus, and talks turned to how to best direct the money for the improvements which are slated to begin this fall.

The bleachers surpassed its usable life, and are a mainten-ance and safety issue, noted Kevin Chartres, Montrose chief admin-istrative officer, to council. “They were first on our list to replace after the risk management update recommendation.”

After some back-and-forth, council agreed to invest in five new items, including 18-foot bleachers for $5,800; an $8,700 basket swing that’s described as a play space and surface; a $6,600 “cottage” for chil-dren ages six months to four years;

two bike racks; and improved play-ground signage.

The Montrose Park is the only outdoor space in the village covered under BV Rec, and is one of many projects currently underway or in the planning stage for that area.

The communities may have addi-tional funds available to spend on its parks and facilities in the com-ing seasons, but that isn’t the case this year.

When BV’s Rec commission chose not renew an agreement with the City of Trail effective Jan. 1, that left Montrose, Fruitvale, and Area A with money, more than $200,000, that it no longer had to pay to the city for recreational services.

Those funds are not being spent,

explained Ali Grieve, Area A director and BV Rec chair, noting that there is no way to determine what the finally tally of the reimbursement program will be by year-end.

“The number of improvement projects are based on the previous year’s budget,” she said. “We are not spending that money because we don’t know where it (tally) will be at the end of the day.”

Since the end of the recreation agreement, residents in those com-munities have been paying double the fees upfront in Trail facilities, then submitting receipts for reim-bursement from BV Rec.

From January to July, a total of 377 reimbursement were given out

With quick wit that could make even the most serious person crack up, a Trail native is heading to New York to hone her comedic craft and maybe even hit the big time.

Lisa Colangeli (Douglas) was born and raised in the hills of West Trail and many people in town will probably recognize her husky voice and fast talking banter when she drops into town for a visit.

She currently res-ides in Calgary but makes frequent trips back to Trail to check in with her family and gallivant with home-town friends.

But in three weeks, the budding comic is packing up her bag of tricks and flying from cow town to the Big Apple and embarking on a 12-month journey into the performing arts at the American Comedy Institute.

“I was born and raised in West Trail on the wrong side of the tracks,” she laughed. “Sometimes I think I’m nuts for doing this, but I’ve always looked after my family and not left much time for myself. So I’m going to take this from here and see what happens.”

Colangeli first dab-bled into improv at the New York school’s one-week stand-up work-shop earlier in March, and the culmination of

five days of instruction led to a one-night gig at the famous Gotham Comedy Club in the city’s Chelsea district.

“I got up on stage and it went fine because I talked about the Oscars and things I know,” said Colangeli.

The award show aired a month before her stand-up act, which led to natural fodder and a joke about the famous and ageing actress, Goldie Hawn.

The red-haired funny lady told the

audience that she was always a big fan of Hawn’s performance in the classic ‘Private Benjamin’ movie.

“But when I saw her at the Oscars she looked ridiculous,” said Colangeli, “And I said, ‘Now she could play the part of General Patton.’ She looked like George C. Scott.”

Her wise crack about Hawn and com-edic timing had the audience in stitches, and impressed her mentors at the school. Because following her

return to Canada, she received a surprise phone call.

Stephen Rosenfield, her New York stand-up teacher was on the other end of the line, asking if she was ready to give comedy a go.

“When I found out that they liked me and invited me back, I went for it. Because at 50 years old, I thought ‘Why not?’”

Pulling from her lifelong obsession with black-and-white film classics, she gave Rosenfield a two- minute monologue during an audition via Skype.

Her Bette Davis ren-dition from the movie “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane” immedi-ately won the seasoned teacher over, and he said “Welcome, we’re going to have a lot of fun.”

The next order of business was finding a place to stay for the year, which in New

York proved to be quite a challenge.

“I’m going to be liv-ing in Hell’s Kitchen near the school,” she chuckled. “Which I say is the same thing as living in the Gulch.”

This week, Colangeli is in Trail visiting her mother, who still lives on Rossland Avenue, for the last time before leaving for John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sept. 24.

She admits to feel-ing a bit nervous, but said her family is excit-ed that she is living south of the border for a year.

“Mom’s more nervous, but happy. Because, you know, she thinks I’ll end up on the Nancy Grace show with a toe tag and them asking if anyone knows this crazy red-head,” she laughed.

“But it’s nice to be able to come into my own now and say this is what I can do. It’s a good feeling.”

FROM PAGE 1to Beaver Valley resi-dents, totalling just over $25,000, accord-ing the latest regional district figures.

Mark Daines, man-ager of facilities and recreation at the regional district, said usage of the Aquatic Centre pool comprised 74 per cent of the reimbursements while the remaining 26 per cent comprised other recreational programs and fitness.

Further, 181 Fruitvale residents received money back; 106 in Montrose and 90 people living in Area A.

BV Rec continues to review community input that was docu-mented earlier this year, to solidify plans for future recreation, noted Grieve, adding

that there’s been sig-nificant increase in usage of the Beaver Valley Family Park as a result of improve-ments made over the past couple of years.

The commission is looking at developing more trails, having playground equipment in Mazzochi Park, a new roof on the Beaver Valley Arena, and a continuation of the communities’ summer programs.

“We have done a lot of great stuff over the past couple of years,” said Grieve. “And are very excited to begin the planning process for 2015.”

This year, facility improvements at the arena included instal-lation of an electronic bulletin board, a new Zamboni and a new dehumidifier.

Larger federal ridings means more footwork for candidates in next October's election.

Marshall Neufeld, the Okanagan-West Kootenay riding's Conservative Party candidate, is prepared to do what it takes to represent all voters from Penticton to Trail to Nakusp.

“I'm already seeing this as essentially being two MPs,” he said during a brief stop at the Trail Times office.

He agreed that the needs of voters in Penticton vary drastically from voters, for example, in Nakusp.

“You have to do double duty. It is really two small rid-ings they have put together. (The West Kootenay and the Okanagan areas) are different from an economic standpoint and just a lifestyle mindset.”

Neufeld plans to manage the differing political envi-ronments by dividing his time between the two regions.

“I feel that if I get the honour of the people making me their MP, I am going to have to be splitting my time and have it seen as two ridings,” he said. “(I won't) just fly back from Ottawa (to Penticton). Presumably, I would fly back to Penticton one weekend, and the next weekend fly back to Trail or Castlegar. You have to be seen as representing two areas, or else one area is going to be ignored, and that can't be. There has to be a presence.”

The federal election is 13 months away, but Neufeld wanted to get an early start on the campaign trail, meeting voters and building relationships.

“I think the strategy is the same whether you are in Conservative territory or NDP (like Trail),” he said.

“Just getting out and meeting as many people as you can. It's about having conversations on their doorsteps, hearing what their concerns are and allow people to realize that they are going to be heard no matter what their opinion is.

“We can have a reasonable discussions no matter what the subject is.”

Although it is still early in the campaign, Neufeld has a few plans for the Greater Trail Area.

“At this time, I am looking forward to setting up meetings with the people at Teck and right next door in Rossland at Red Mountain,” he said.

“Any other businesses or industries that want to meet, I want to listen to their ideas.”

Neufeld plans to build on those doorstep meetings and making sure he is a recognizable figure in the Trail area.

“It is one vote at a time,” he said. “It is a slow process, but we have over a year to

do it. I am going to learn a lot over the next year about what people's views are and I am excited about that.

“All I want to do right now is get out and meet people.”

The City of Trail has collected about $57,000 in non-resident revenue so far this year.

But it’s difficult to track who’s paid those fees because until recently, all visitors, including those from Beaver Valley, Rossland, Castlegar and beyond, were subject to double the fees to swim or work out in Trail’s recreational facilities.

Now that Trail council amended the recrea-tion fees and charges bylaw, which provides exemptions to residents from areas such as Castlegar and Nelson, the city will have a clearer indication next year of who is using the indoor swimming pool, rinks, ball parks and fieldhouse.

Beaver Valley Parks and Recreation previously paid $209,000 under the five-year agreement that expired Dec. 31 last year, said David Perehudoff, Trail’s chief administrative officer, adding that anticipated non-residents fees that come from that area will not come close to the revenue the city previously received.

“The city was uncertain how residents in Beaver Valley would react and respond to the reimbursement program,” he explained. “Given the uncertainty associated with usage going for-ward, the city did not increase revenue from user fees other than factoring in historical trending.”

The city’s total user fee budget is about $920,000 and by the end of June, revenue sat at about $621,000.

“The current system clearly places strain and burden on the users and some organized sports could further impact the provision of service in the long-term,” noted Perehudoff.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender says the province may take extraordinary steps to ensure senior second-ary students’ school year is not cut short by the teachers strike.

That could mean adding days to the school calendar later in the year, he said, to ensure Grade 12 students in particular complete their courses and get all the marks they need.

“Do you put it on the end of the year? Do you take it out of Spring Break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said.

“It’s going to depend on how long this drags out.

“Whatever length of time it takes to get this settled, we will do everything we can to make sure the school year is kept whole for those students.”

It’s unclear how the government would finance adding extra days of classes later when all of the $12 million per day in strike savings may be consumed by the prov-

ince’s offer of $40-a-day payments to par-ents.

“If they were accumulating the savings, that would be one thing – they would have a fund,” Vancouver School Board chair Patti Bacchus said.

“But they’re giv-ing away the budget right now to parents that would be other-wise available to pay for that.”

As of Thursday, 63 per cent of parents of eligible public school children under 13 had signed up for the $40 payments, which are expected to be made as a lump sum after the strike ends.

Other costs that the province continues to incur while schools are closed include salaries for school administra-tion as well as support staff with other unions that are eligible to be compensated for pay lost for not crossing teacher picket lines.

Support staff costs could hit $5 million a day once all their union locals ratify new contracts.

Education ministry officials said school districts would be con-sulted on any potential changes to the school year to mitigate the strike.

But Bacchus said she’s heard nothing so far and predicted it would be disruptive

to families that have booked vacations and made other commit-ments far in advance.

“It’s not going to be easy,” she said, not-ing changes would also require exemp-tions from School Act requirements.

Talk of calendar adjustments is another sign of possible long-term implications from the strike, even though it has only disrupted the first few days of the new school year.

Parents have scram-bled for limited space for child care, day camps, tutors and even private school place-ments for their chil-dren.

Stepping up to meet the demand have been independent schools and, increasingly, pub-lic school teachers no longer drawing a regu-lar paycheque who are advertising “tutor” ser-vices online.

“I work for the Surrey School District and I am willing to

tutor your child in the comfort of your own home,” reads one Craigslist post from an elementary school teacher.

Distance learning through independ-ent online schools is another option.

The B.C. Online School run out of Kelowna by Heritage Christian Schools has been swamped with three times the nor-mal number applica-tions for distributed learning from students across the province as a result of the current strike.

“We are overloaded with kids coming to us, particularly those in Grade 12 who want to get a particular course and get their require-ments for university,” said superintendent Greg Bitgood.

The online school, which is half fund-ed by the province, instructed 3,400 stu-dents in its summer school – three times the normal number

– and turned away another 6,000.

Demand has surged again now that the strike has spilled into September and pushed back the scheduled start of classes.

Bitgood is weighing whether to hire more teachers in response.

But it’s risky because a deal or gov-ernment legislation could send teachers back to work and stu-dents back to regular classes, said Bitgood, who emphasized he also wants the public school shutdown to end quickly.

There’s only four such independent schools that offer dis-tributed learning to students in the public system, Bitgood said, adding “there’s no way” the industry can meet the demand cre-ated by the strike.

Another independ-ent online school based in Surrey declined to comment, saying the issue was “too sensi-tive.”

T H e C a N a D I a N P R e S SCALGARY - The president of the Northern

Gateway pipeline says it’s unlikely the project will start up in 2018 as the company seeks to win over B.C. First Nations groups, many of which remain adamantly opposed to the $7.9-billion project.

“We have stated that the earliest in-service date was 2018. That’s quickly evaporating because we need to have this time to meet with people,” John Carruthers told a Calgary business audience on Thursday.

“I’m not as fussed on what that date is. I’m more fussed on can we have the support we need to go ahead, so it’s positive for all people of Canada, including Aboriginal people?”

“That’s going to take time and it’s going to take the time it takes.”

So far, 26 First Nations groups along the route have signed agreements with Enbridge to take a share of a 10 per cent equity stake in the pipeline that the company had offered. Enbridge is now in talks with other groups about other ways to participate in the pro-ject, such as employment and procurement contracts.

“There’s a lot of dialogue with both equity owners and non-equity at this point,” Carruthers told reporters

But many First Nations along the route are vehemently opposed to the pipeline and have said they wouldn’t accept it under any circumstances. Lawsuits could tie the project up in court for years.

If built, Northern Gateway would ship 525,000 barrels per day of diluted oilsands crude from the Edmonton area to Kitimat, B.C., where the oil would be loaded on tank-ers and shipped to Asia.

A smaller parallel line would ship con-densate, an oilsands thinning agent, in the opposite direction.

Northern Gateway received regulatory approval in June but the company propos-ing to build it, Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB), has said it’s not in a rush to put shovels in the ground.

Carruthers said despite the delays, sup-port from customers remains strong.

The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers foresees oilsands production growing by about two and half times by 2030 to 4.8 million barrels a day.

The projected growth means there will likely still be strong demand for pipeline space if Northern Gateway starts up later than envisaged, said Warren Mabee, an energy policy expert at Queen’s University.

“Pushing back by a couple of years on this project is not something that I think would kill it, but pushing it back for a couple of years does allow the forces that are aligning against it to solidify,” he said.

The ability to access Asian markets is an enticing proposition for oilsands producers as it would mean better prices for their crude. But most producers have signed on to a variety of pipeline proposals to the west, east and south rather than bet that any one proposal.

Analysts have said other proposals, such as TransCanada Corp.’s (TSX:TRP) proposed Energy East pipeline to New Brunswick, are likely to be built before Northern Gateway.

TransCanada is planning to file a regula-tory application this month to the National Energy Board for the $12-billion Energy East proposal, most of which would make use of underused natural gas pipe that’s already in the ground. Startup for that line is currently targeted for 2018.

Distillery wins dispute over Spirit Bear brand

B y K a T H y M I C H a e l SKelowna Capital NewsKelowna business-

man Mike Urban won a court case Tuesday that, if lost, could have crushed his business.

The Federal Court sided with Urban in a four-year-long trade-mark dispute between Urban Distilleries and the City of Terrace which filed a lawsuit alongside the Kitasoo Band Council.

“This was the best news ever,” he said Monday. “I fought it,

and I’m glad I did.”At issue, was the

Spirit Bear brand. Urban trademarked Spirit Bear vodka in 2010, but the band and the city of Terrace challenged the right to use the name, claiming they previ-ously trademarked the name in 2003 and 2006. Their claim of the brand was seem-ingly for licensing purposes, from which they garnered royal-ties, although they also claimed concerns

about the way Urban wanted to use the name.

“The Spirit Bear is associated with this part of B.C. and the City of Terrace wants to continue to main-tain the uniqueness of its trademark,” said Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski about the trademark infringement lawsuit filed against Urban Distilleries.

“Sometimes you have to push a little bit particularly when it’s being used on a product that isn’t the best representation for a special creature.”

The court found that both the City of Terrace and Kitasoo Band council’s official trademark for Spirit Bear were invalid, hav-ing been improperly registered.

In particular the judge found that the Spirit Bear trade-marks had not been properly adopted. For their failed efforts, the City of Terrace and Kitasoo Band Council were also ordered to pay costs to Urban Distillery.

CAMPEAU, JOSEPH HENRI VICTOR LU-CIEN – July 15, 1937 - Au-gust 31, 2014

It is with great sorrow that we an-nounce the passing of Lu-cien Campeau of Nelway, B.C., Lou’s c o u r a g e o u s battle with cancer ended peace-fully on Sunday, August 31st, 2014 at the Red Deer Hospice.

Lucien was born in La� eche, SK, to Louis and Marie Jeanne Campeau (Beaudoin). He at-tended J.L. Crowe and married the love of his life, Arlene Eliza-beth Brewer on October 22nd of 1960 and in 1963, their daugh-ter Eva Marie was born.

Lucien began working on the Pepsi pop truck in his late teens, prior to joining the Navy which he spoke of on many occasions and was very proud to serve his country. He also worked at Cominco in Trail for many years before moving to Prince Rupert to work in the � sh hatchery. In 1968, he moved his family to Cranbrook to become a member of the startup crew at Skookum-chuck Pulp Mill, where he met many of his lifelong friends. He also sold cars for McInnes Ford Mercury while living in Cranbrook, which was his true passion. In 1976, he decided to move his family back to Trail to give his daughter the same op-portunities he had growing up. He loved to ski and often told stories of his days skiing at Red

Mountain with Nancy Greene. His other passions were boat-ing and going to Shuswap, and Christina Lake each summer. He opened his own business “Campeau’s Yacht Shop” and truly enjoyed this aspect of his life.

OPINION

ALS fundraising fad says a lot about human behaviourIf you are curious

about human behav-iour you have had much to think about

in these last few weeks. The ice bucket challenge craze attached to fundrais-ing for the treatment and research of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or, as it was most commonly known in the past, Lou Gehrig’s disease) has been a huge boon to organiza-tions in North America.

Recently, I heard an American spokesman say that donations in the past month have been three times what they were in all of 2013. A Canadian representative said on Monday that $5 million had flowed into coffers in the last two weeks, a per-iod in which they typically average “a few thousand dollars”.

If you follow any major social media feeds, like Facebook and Twitter, you have seen a fascinating explosion of interest. But the interest hasn’t been fueled by the horrors of a disease that eats away at the neuromuscular sys-tem, usually ending lives

prematurely and painfully. Instead, people are donat-ing because they have been challenged to make a donation, then film them-selves having a bucket of ice water dumped on their head.

I have no problem with anything that encour-ages people to donate to worthy causes, and ALS is no doubt one. But I do wonder about the thought process at work here. Do many donors make their contributions with no thought about how the money is being used? Do they check to see how efficient the benefiting organization is and how much is being spent on administration and fund-raising? Do they even know what ALS is and why the funds are needed?

My usual response to family, friends and acquaintances who are raising money for a char-ity is, just because it is your charity of choice doesn’t mean it’s mine. On the positive side, no one could have foreseen that the ice bucket chal-lenge would have taken off

as it has. And perhaps it is in part because ALS isn’t a widespread and over-reported disease that the challenge has resonated. Would it have had the same impact if the intent was to raise money for cancer or diabetes or lung diseases, all of which are far more common than ALS?

For reasons that I have been unable to fathom, the ice bucket challenge has become a phenom-enon. I suspect, I hate to admit, that many see it as an excuse not just to do a good thing, but to be seen doing a good thing. I watched a video of my niece explaining that

she had made a donation (which was doubled by the company she works for) but would I have done so without the expectation that she was about to be doused by a bucket of ice water? Not a chance. So she gets a little kick from the attention, gets to send out a charity chain letter in the guise of challenges to three others, and all of her Facebook friends get the entertainment value of seeing her shocked by the frigid water.

Fortunately, good information is at hand for those who really want to know about charities. I am particularly impressed with Charity Intelligence Canada, which publishes reports about the finances of various charities on its website. The informa-tion appears to be solid and is presented in a con-sistent manner, allowing viewers to easily contrast and compare data against other agencies.

In the case of the ALS Society of Canada, its mission is to find a cure and provide support for those with the disease. It

estimates there are 2,500 to 3,000 Canadians living with ALS currently.

It had revenues of $6.731 million last year and spent 12 per cent of donations on administra-tive costs and 31 per cent on fundraising, which means that of each dol-lar donated, 55 cents goes to programs designed to fulfill its mission. ALS Society of Canada has 11 full-time employees, the top 10 of which are paid an average compensa-tion of $91,000 a year. The top paid employee makes between $160,000-$200,000 annually.

A caution — none of this information is par-ticularly helpful unless it is compared to other charities. I have no inter-est in dumping cold water on non-profits or their financial supporters. But I have endless fascina-tion for people who make uninformed spending choices when a fad like the ice bucket challenge comes along.

What started in April with complaints that three Victoria McDonald’s fran-

chises were favouring tem-porarily foreign workers over domestic employed culminated in a June announcement by federal Employment Minister Jason Kenny of sweeping policy changes impacting every sector across the country.

The Tories’ sense of urgency was elevated by polls showing that the intense media cover-age had convinced the majority of voters that a program repre-senting less than 2 per cent of our total workforce was stealing large numbers of jobs from unemployed Canadians.

Such a rapid response by typ-ically plodding policy making is usually worthy of applause. But it’s now clear that the time taken to restructure a complex program that’s been part of Canada’s economic mosaic for four dec-ades was insufficient to avoid some very serious unintended consequences.

For example the skiing industry employs hundreds of temporary foreign workers, some of whom are instruct-ors in short supply in Canada. The new temporary foreign worker application fee increase from $275 to $1,000 must be amortized over the relatively short ski season. David Lynn, President of the Canada West Ski Areas Association captured the view of many business lead-ers: “We feel that government should deal directly with the people that are abusing the program and not institute a series of draconian changes that impact . . . people who use the program responsibly”.

One of those “draconian changes” will tighten the screws from a cap of 30 per cent for “low-skilled” tempor-ary foreign workers to just 10 per cent by mid-2016. And a new income criterion increases the proportions of temporary workers categorized as low-skilled. The previous rules that tied low-skilled jobs to a widely accepted standardized list of occupations have been changed to jobs receiving less than the

median wage. In Alberta, for example,

Statistics Canada data shows the 2013 average hourly wage for temporary workers was $20.87, while a 2013 Labour Force Survey shows a 2013 median wage of $24.23, resulting in significantly larger numbers of temporary foreign workers being caught in the new more restrictive rules. This, together with the progressive tightening of the proportion of low-skilled workers, explains the highly negative reaction from Alberta businesses already struggling

to find workers.Meanwhile, in

Atlantic Canada, where provincial u n e m p l o y m e n t rates range from 9 to 12 per cent, a complete phase out of temporary foreign workers for provinces with u n e m p l o y m e n t rates above 6 per

cent is also drawing fire. Nova scotia Labour Minister Kelly Regan has said that “. . . there may be some fish plants that have great difficulty in getting in the harvest . . . if they are not able to have temporary for-eign workers” Prince Edward Island is equally alarmed that the changes would prevent processing of its all-important lobster harvest.

That provinces with the highest unemployment rates share concerns with the province having the lowest unemployment rate serves to illustrate the hazards of pre-cipitous, broad brush policy changes that don’t consider our country’s complex employ-ment mosaic.

Ironically, another govern-ment program aimed at help-ing Atlantic Canada is actually making the situation worse. Unemployment insurance benefits that favour Atlantic Canada results in many work-ers refusing work once they have qualified, making it even harder to find local workers willing to do the less attractive fish plant environment.

These realities discredit the very concept of tying foreign worker restrictions to provin-cial unemployment rates.

But it also illustrates a broader reality. The agricultur-al industry is exempted because

planting and harvesting are truly temporary jobs requiring large numbers of workers for short periods. Fish processors, ski instructors and many other such peak load jobs should also be exempted from rules that are designed for more continu-ous worker needs as in restau-rants and hotels.

While the changes are sup-posedly aimed at low skilled workers, the additional red tape and higher application fees are impacting seasonal and tran-sient workers who regularly move back and forth across the border. For example, doctors who live in Detroit and work in Essex County/Windsor have to fill out multiple forms and pay multiple fees (which have been increased from $275 to $1,000) Exacerbating the problem is a rule that requires a separate application for each location a doctor might work in, such as a hospital, nursing home or in doctor-short rural clinics. The rules also require that the physician jobs be advertised in each job site. And since the permits only last one year, the process must be done over and over again for each doctor.

Janet Ecker, President of the Toronto Financial Services Alliance, complains that the new rules are also making it difficult for banks, insurance companies and pension funds. “Our economy is dependent on the ability . . . to have access to global talent.”

Even the technology sec-tor is finding that the rigidity and bureaucracy of the rules is making it harder to hire skilled workers such as soft-ware developers. The red tape also requires employers apply-ing to hire low-skilled tempor-ary foreign workers to state how many were interviewed for each job and why Canadians were not hired.

Yet to come are new rules for live-in caregivers, which mainly refers to as nannies.

Hopefully, these will be more carefully considered. And that consideration should take heed of the fact that very few Canadians are interested in being nannies, and that the ability of nannies is critical to the ability many mothers to fill the skilled jobs our country needs.

The opinions expressed in this advertising space are provided by Greater Trail Area Churches on a rotational basis.

Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.

“When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him cruci� ed” (1 Cor. 2:1-2).

Although God has given everyone general revelation through nature, no one has come to the point of glorifying God properly solely through general revelation. And the world is without excuse for this failure, because God has made himself known to them through his creation. “For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse; for although they knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened” (Rom. 1:19-21).

God has therefore also provided us with his special revelation in the Old and New Testament so that we might clearly know him, honor him properly, and believe in him, and so be saved. We are saved through special revelation both in Old and New Testament times by our faith in God, for “Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness” (Rom. 4:3). Abraham was justi� ed through his faith. And now in the New Testament period all who believe in Jesus Christ are justi� ed, for he made reparation for our sins that satis� ed divine justice on behalf of all who believe in him. “But now the righteousness of God ... is revealed ... through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all who believe” (Rom. 3:21-22 NKJV). He is the one “whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness” (Rom. 3:25 NKJV). To be made righteous by Christ we must believe in him and call upon him, for it is through faith that we are justi� ed.

That is why St. Paul went to Corinth, proclaiming Christ cruci� ed to both Jews and Greeks. “For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him cruci� ed” (1 Cor. 2:2). This is the

mission of the Church today as well. Salvation comes to the world only through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, and it is received only by those who have faith in him. “He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God” (John 3:18). “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36 NKJV).

So to be saved we need to call upon Jesus Christ with faith. “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?” (Rom. 10:14-15 NKJV). This is the mission of the church, to preach Jesus Christ and him cruci� ed to the entire world, to non-Christians, for their salvation. Therefore the risen Lord commissioned his apostles, saying, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 28:19). This is the Gentile mission of the Church that continues to this day.

But what about those who have still not yet heard the gospel? We believe that God will give them knowledge of the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ in a way known to God alone (Vatican II, Gaudium et Spes #22) so that they will have a chance to choose to believe or refuse to believe for their salvation or condemnation.

Perhaps this knowledge will come to them through other Christians, through books, through the radio, television, or internet, or perhaps it will be revealed to them through dreams, as God often did in Biblical times. But the one thing that is certain is that Christ has given his Church a mission to make the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ known to the entire world, to every people and nation, for the salvation of all who believe.

Friday, September 12th Movie Night: “God’s Not Dead” 7 pmSunday, September 21st Back to Church Sunday 10 am

VATICAN CITY – Retired Israeli President Shimon Peres has proposed a new global peace initiative to Pope Francis: A “United Nations of Religions,” given that most wars Thursday have religious, not nationalistic, undercurrents.

The Vatican said Peres pitched the initiative during a 45-minute audience Thursday in the Apostolic Palace. The two men last met when Francis invited the then-Israeli president and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to pray for peace together in the Vatican gardens on June 8.

A few weeks later, war broke out in the Gaza Strip.

Peres told the Catholic publication Famiglia Cristiana that the U.N. is ill-suited to handle today’s conflicts and that a “U.N. of Religions” is the best way to fight terrorists who kill in the name of God.’’

Francis promised the Vatican’s attention to the proposal.

United Nations of Religion proposed

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SROME - Diego Maradona and Roberto Baggio

were among a host of former soccer stars who played in an interreligious charity match backed by Pope Francis on Monday night.

The Argentine pope, an avid soccer fan, did not attend the match but had an audience with both teams earlier in the day and also broadcast a message on the big screens at Rome’s Olympic Stadium ahead of kickoff.

The idea arose during an audience former Argentina great Javier Zanetti had with Francis last year and. As well as promoting peace, the game raised money for at-risk kids.

“I thank you because you immediately adhered to my desire to see champions and coaches from various countries and different religions facing each other in a sporting match, to demonstrate fraternity and friendship,” Francis said in his audience with the players.

“Tonight’s match will certainly be an occa-sion to collect funds and support, but above all to reflect on the universal values which football and sport in general can promote: loyalty, shar-ing, welcoming, dialogue, trust in the other. It’s about values which joins every person regardless of race, culture and religious belief.”

The two teams were named after Scholas Occurrentes - an educational entity launched by the pope - and Zanetti’s Pupi foundation.

Pupi - managed by Argentina coach Gerardo Martino - recovered from two goals down at half-time to win 6-3 in an entertaining match.

Maradona is often called a sporting deity back home after leading Argentina to the 1986 World Cup title - having scored a goal against England in the quarterfinals that he famously credited to the “hand of God” after using his fist to push the ball into the net.

He handed Francis an Argentina national team shirt before the game, and said he was awed by meeting the pope.

“Today two powers were brought together, the hand of God and that of the Pope,” Maradona said. “Pope Francis is much more than Maradona. He is the real outstanding star. ... I grew apart from the church because I though it wasn’t doing enough for the needy, but with Francis it’s dif-ferent.”

An olive tree was planted before kickoff by religious figures from various different faiths, while Zanetti, Eto’o, Shevchenko, Sulley Muntari and Baggio read a short speech about peace after the final whistle.

Canadians watch less TV but stream more: CRTCT H E C A N A D I A N P R E S S

TORONTO - Canadians spent a lit-tle less time channel surfing last year but still watched more TV content overall when accounting for streaming, suggests a report by the CRTC.

The average Canadian aged two or older watched 27.9 hours of TV a week in 2013 - or about four hours nightly - which was down by about 20 minutes from 2012, according to the 2014 C o m m u n i c a t i o n s Monitoring Report.

But Canadian adults also devoted a good chunk of their free time to watching TV over the Internet.

The average adult streamed 1.9 hours of TV content weekly in 2013, which was up about 45 per cent over the previous year.

Over 40 per cent of Canadians said they watched TV over the Internet in 2013.

Twenty-nine per cent of English-speaking Canadian adults said they used Netflix for streaming in 2013, up from 21 per cent in 2012.

There were

about 100,000 fewer Canadian households subscribing to a TV plan last year, but 11.92 million were still paying for access to a bevy of television channels.

The CRTC also found Canadians were listening to a little less radio in 2013, tuning in for an aver-age of 19.3 hours a week compared to 19.6 hours in 2012.

Facebook is being more proactive in ensuring its users fully understand their pri-vacy settings and who can see their posts.

On Thursday, the social media giant began pushing out a pop-up message ask-ing that users spend “a minute or two” reviewing their privacy settings to confirm everything is setup right.

Facebook, which has more than 19 mil-lion users in Canada, will first target users who log in with a desk-top or laptop comput-er.

“We’re trying to lis-ten closely to user feed-back and help people make sure they’re sharing with who they want - and we’ve been doing it a bit more pro-actively than usual,” said Facebook prod-uct manager Paddy Underwood.

“We think it’s

really important that people do the (settings review) and make sure their things are setup up just the way they want.”

In the spring, Facebook started to reach out to users who typically shared posts publicly to confirm they understood their

privacy settings.“We just want to

make sure that this is a thing they want to be doing and if not, then give them an opportunity to pro-actively change their audience,” said Mike Nowak, a product man-ager on the company’s privacy team.

Given their efforts in the off-season, I am really, really hopeful about the Smoke Eaters this sea-

son. The team has re-tooled exten-

sively, has five (so-far) quality local players and a healthy qual-ity goaltender, and seems to have outdone itself in terms of con-ditioning and community out-reach.

Trail also already has a very high eight scholarship commits on its roster. second only to the perennialy competitive Penticton Vees.

That all augurs well. We just

need to see a strong start to the regular season to get wishy-washy so-called fans onto the band-wagon.

Aye, there’s the rub. We haven’t seen, yet, what the start of regular-season pressure will bring out of this very new roster. The season, as the pre-season, begins with home games played on the road. That situation can be good for team cohesion,

but only if Trail has some success along the way.

The club, head-ing into a new season with a new team and a new regime, will be well served by some early evi-dence it is well along the right path to reverse recent years of under-achieving as far as standings are

concerned. Trail could begin slowly, gell,

and go on a tear, but the amount of work they have put in may actually need some early success to build confidence in the team, system and staff.

It seems as if everything has been done to that end, so, as I said, I am really, really hopeful.

Trail’s only Cominco Arena pre-season game is Sept. 13, against the Selkirk Saints (as good a college team as there is in B.C.). You could, of course, make the short drive to Castlegar to see the two squads in action the previous night.

Please make an effort to get to Cominco Arena for the Sept.

26-27 weekend. In a make-or-(perhaps) break year, the Smokies have gone all out. We should, too.

*****The Special Olympics fund-

raiser at Butler Park Wednesday seems to have met all its aims - it showcased the new Smoke Eaters, provided entertainment and must have raised a fair amount of money - given the size of the crowd and the 50-50 draw.

I am sure the local protection services team was not expecting the kids to give them such a run (30-29), but it kept a decent crowd in their seats for two hours.

B Y T I M E S S T A F FImproving on a championship season might be a

tall task but in the world of junior hockey every year brings new challenges.

The defending KIJHL, Cyclone Taylor and Western Canadian champion Beaver Valley Nitehawks kicked off its exhibition season this week and so far so good.

“I think we’ve had our best camp we’ve ever had,” said head coach Terry Jones, who has been at the Nitehawks helm for two decades.

He admitted the team’s success last season has made it easier to recruit players but with that comes the task of trimming the roster for the start of the regular season.

“Sunday will start making our decision and there will be lots of difficult ones.”

The coaching staff will continue to evaluate potential players tonight as the Hawks host the Castlegar Rebels in the first game of a home-and-home set this weekend.

Game time tonight is 7:30 p.m. with the rematch Saturday night in Castlegar beginning at 7 p.m.

The team is back on the ice Sunday in Nelson for a 7 p.m. rematch with the Leafs

Beaver Valley opened camp last week and began pre-season games Tuesday night in Creston with a solid 5-1 win over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats in Creston. Wednesday night the Hawks battled the Nelson Leafs to a 4-4 draw.

“Tuesday we had a great pace and great disci-pline,” said Jones. “But (against Nelson) it was lack-luster and there was trouble getting a good flow.”

The club wraps up its exhibition schedule on Tuesday on home ice against the Thunder Cats at 7 p.m.

The regular season starts in a week with Beaver Valley traveling to Nelson on Sept. 12. The team’s home opener is the next night, Sept. 13, when the 100 Mile House Wranglers ride into town.

Approximately 150 fans were at Butler Park on Wednesday for the first Trail Smoke Eaters Charity Softball Game against members of the Trail RCMP and Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue. With games and prizes for the fans, the teams put on a slugfest, which right down to the final out. It took a play at the plate (left) to end the game with the RCMP/Firefighters squeezing out a 30-29 win. Proceeds from the game were shared with the KBRH Foundation, the Special Olympics and the Smokies Booster Club.

Sports-related con-cussions in children and youth consti-tute a significant public health issue which requires ser-ious reform in public policy to address the harm associated with them, a new Canadian paper argues.

The article - which appeared Wednesday in “Neurosurgeon,” an online pub-lication of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons - suggests there is an ethical responsibility to take action on the issue.

“It’s not a sport issue, it’s not just a medical issue, it’s a public health issue which affects the population as a whole and it’s been identified that way - it’s research based, it’s epidemio-logically backed and it has facts behind it,” said Dr. Paul Echlin, who runs a sports medicine clinic in Burlington, Ont.

Echlin, who co-authored the article with Dr. Ross Upshur, director of clinical research at Toronto’s Bridgepoint Health, said there’s a need to make an “urgent statement” on sports-related concussions in children and youth, which the World Health Organization classifies as minor traumatic brain injur-ies.

“We really have

to move on this now,” said Echlin. “There’s no helmets or mouth guards or safety devices that can change this, it is about a shift in the way that we allow our youth to play games.”

The article notes that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control labelled sports-related concussions a pub-lic health problem in 2003, but youth con-tinue to suffer “often preventable brain injuries” while play-ing sports.

“If you know what’s going on and you refuse to do anything major or significant about it, then you’re ethically wrong,” said Echlin.

“It shouldn’t be silent anymore, it is an epidemic in our youth culture, in sport. Sport was made to...improve the culture of fitness, and socially, but not to cause long-term impairment, not to promote violence which is the under-lying factor of a lot of these head injuries.”

To deal with con-cussions as a public health issue, the arti-cle suggests “dramatic rule changes” be made to games children play to “eliminate all purposeful and inten-tional head contact” while also minimizing incidental head con-tact.

It also suggests increasing the size of playing surfaces to lower the chances of

collisions in sports, decreasing the num-ber of participants on a field of play and considering the elim-ination of the use of the head in games like soccer.

The article goes on to suggest enforcing significant suspen-sions to participants or supervising adults who are involved in games in which head injuries occur. Youth who do suffer con-cussions must also be given appropri-ate time to recover, Echlin added.

The paper fur-ther underlines the importance of pub-licly funded education on concussions for the next generation of athletes, parents and educators, high-lighting an example in Ontario, where the province’s education ministry has man-dated publicly funded schools to institute concussion curricu-lum education from all students Grade One to 12.

“You’re going to educate the 10-year-old to say ‘yes there is a big problem here’ and to give them the

ability to advocate for themselves and others to say ‘I got hit, I don’t feel well, I’m going to take myself off the field,”’ said Echlin.

“Handing out pamphlets and stuff,

it doesn’t work. But what does work is get-ting the kids involved and getting them to make their own deci-sions, and also con-tinuing dialogue with parents.”

Leisure

Dear Annie: My cousin is 53 years old and is in and out of jobs. He has no place to go and parked his van on my property on the condition that he stay no more than five months. He asked for permission to use my laundry equipment and electricity. But he’s already stayed 10 months, uses my facili-ties without permis-sion and leaves things all over my front yard.

On several occa-sions, I kicked him out, and he refused to leave. Several of my neigh-bors reported a squat-ter in the residential area, and the police arrived to deal with the complaint. They only request that he leave. But he’s still here.

How do I get rid of him? -- Cousin of a Squatter

Dear Cousin: Depending on your local law, you can call the police and tell them your cousin is trespass-ing on your property, in which case, they may

be able to forcibly make him move. Otherwise, you may need to sue him to get him evicted. In either case, we rec-ommend you consult an attorney about what you can do.

Dear Annie: I am amazed that women do not realize that one of the primary reasons they are not being asked out is simply because they insist on traveling in packs. Men do not like to break into a group of women just to ask one of them to dance or to chat.

Some years ago, I did an experiment with a female friend, ask-ing her to place herself alone against a wall in a bar with her arms

behind her. It took less than five minutes for someone to come up and ask if he could buy her a drink. Meanwhile, as I looked around, I saw many men stand-ing about and many women in groups chat-ting away with no man even close to them.

Wake up, women. You have the ability to change your dating success pronto. -- PB Watching

Dear PB: A lone woman might indeed attract more atten-tion, but not always for the right reasons. Women travel in packs for their own protec-tion. Not every man is trustworthy. A woman who is alone at a party, for example, runs a real risk of being assault-ed when she leaves, if not before, especially if liquor is involved. If a woman chooses to separate herself from her friends to get atten-tion, that’s fine, as long as she lets her friends know where she is and with whom.

Dear Annie: I was very touched by the let-ter from “L.A., Calif.” I, too, am a single moth-er of two children. My kids were 4 and 8 when I divorced their dad. He had supervised visita-tion, which he chose to give up. Our children have not seen their father in 10 years. Is there resentment? I would say more hurt than anything. He chose everything else over his family.

For a long time, my daughter has wanted to change her name from her father’s last name. My son doesn’t seem to care. Now that they both are adults, they can legally change their name without parental consent.

I think your advice was great, but I don’t believe a name change needs to have anything to do with Mom’s ani-mosity toward her ex. I think it is her intent to give her children a connection to what is constant and stable in their lives: their moth-

er. Taking her maiden name will help them feel more attached to someone who means so much to them and won’t abandon them.

My kids have thrived, are mature beyond their years and surround themselves with positive friends.

I have absolutely no regrets. Being granted total physical and legal custody was the best gift the judge could have given us. -- Been There, Done That, Happier for It

Leisure

For Saturday, Sept. 6, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a great day to schmooze and enjoy the com-pany of others. Late in the day or in early evening, someone will surprise you, probably a female. Hmmm. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You will be noticed today. Personal details about your private life might be made public. No doubt this will sur-prise you, but I think you won’t mind. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Unexpected opportuni-ties to travel might fall in your lap today. Be open to this, because the world will be generous to you. How sweet it is! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Expect changes today to arrangements in how you share something with some-one, or how shared property will be divided. Fortunately, these changes look like they

will be just fine. (Whew.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Relations with partners and close friends are warm and friendly today. Nevertheless, some kind of surprise will catch you off guard (perhaps an introduction to someone unusual). VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your work routine will change today. It could be due to high-tech complica-tions or the introduction of new electronics. Fortunately, co-workers are friendly and upbeat. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a playful day. Unexpected flirtations could make your heart go pitter patter. A surprise invitation to a fun event will please you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) It’s an interesting day! A group of people might descend upon you and inter-rupt your home scene. A female relative might sur-

prise you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You feel good today because you are strongly optimistic. Expect something fresh, different and exciting to happen -- quite likely, you will meet new faces or go to new places. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Watch your money and cash flow -- on one hand, you want to spend freely, but on

the other hand, you might lose your money. (Gulp.) Therefore, be careful! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Today the Moon is in your sign, dancing with Jupiter and Uranus. Jupiter makes you feel happy, and Uranus makes you feel excited. Yup, it’s that kind of day. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You want some priva-cy today, which is why you

will choose to work alone or behind the scenes if pos-sible. Nevertheless, fun times with co-workers are promis-ing. Expect a few surprises as well. YOU BORN TODAY Your life seems to undergo major changes. Generally, these are beyond your control. You like to appear attractive to others, which you can do because you have good taste. The first half of this year is slow, but then it speeds up. You are

like the bud of a plant slowly opening. Learn as much as you can to prepare for next year, which is a major year! Birthdate of: Rosie Perez, actress; Macy Gray, singer; Tony DiTerlizzi, illustrator/author. (c) 2014 King Features Syndicate, Inc.
