Business licence protest puts downtown economy in spotlight BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
The plight of the city’s downtown business community has prompted a business owner to protest and not pay his business licence for the last five years. The last time Trail Awards and Promotions owner Roger Catalano paid his $90 annual business licence fee was in 2007. He now owes the city $450 in fees, but he wanted the infamy of being the second most delinquent business owner to be his soapbox for a greater issue: the ailing local economy. Catalano used the occasion of his notoriety to write a letter to council—a response to a city letter requesting the negligent fees—decrying the fact city council has not taken “any action what so ever” in the loss of 16 downtown businesses in the last few years. He accused the city of not keeping tabs on what was happening in the local economy, and that the first signs of trouble began five years ago when businesses began closing. “We are in a dilemma of losing all businesses in the downtown,” the former city councillor (1999-2003) and business owner of 65 years, said. “This is not personal, but a wake up call from a business.” He called for the dissolution of the business licence, removal of parking meters, and re-instatement of the Business Improvement Area (BIA). The BIA was instrumental in drawing attention to the downtown in the past, said Catalano, and it is needed again. The BIA would identify and pursue additional businesses to include into the downtown core, and help promote the ones that do exist.

The last time Roger Catalano paid his for his city business licence was in 2007 (right). The Trail Awards and Promotions owner is protesting what he perceives to be the city’s inattention to the local economy. It would work independently from the Downtown Opportunities and Action Committee (DOAC)—an arm’s length city committee struck to redevelop the feel of the downtown—a body that Catalano questioned. “With 16 empty spaces in its core, what is the sense of bringing people into the downtown when we have all of these empty stores? What is here for them when they come?” he asked. City councillor Kevin Jolly defended the work being done
by the current DOAC in laying the groundwork for a beautiful and enticing downtown as “necessary.” He also pointed to an ongoing exploration of a bylaw under the Community Charter that would allow the city to exempt properties that are improving their premises from paying extra taxes associated with a higher assessment. That move is part of council’s plan to foster a positive environment for growing businesses and a local econ-
omy, he said. “It’s not government’s job to open businesses. It’s our job to create conditions where businesses can succeed. That’s what we believe we are doing,” he said. Although Jolly refuted the notion the $90 business licence fee was an onerous cost for a business, and that parking meters were also a deterrent for downtown shoppers, he pointed to larger forces at work that have hampered the success of

Several million dollars could be injected into the local economy after Teck Trail Operations handed out signing bonuses to over 1,300 employees two weeks ago, but the question people are asking is how much of that money will stick.

It’s obvious they’re going to stick around for awhile and I think this (deal) stabilizes everything.” The agreement included the first ever fiveyear contract with a record breaking $10,000 signing bonus, prompting speculation about whether it could have a ripple effect in the local economy. But it was unclear whether employees would invest or spend their earnings locally, Jones said. “I would hate to guess how employees spend their money,” he explained. “But I would hope that if they are spending it, that it would go directly back into the community.” While some local retailers have seen a slight spike in sales, they are reluctant to pinpoint exactly how much money Trail’s economy could see as a result of the recent deal. “I think we’re still seeing the same amount of people each day, but I think more people are making decisions to buy,” said Shawn Brandt, the financial services manager at AM Ford Sales Ltd.

magine the “Kegerator� for a minute. Instead of hauling an oversized commercial keg to a campsite or cleaning up a couple cases of glass empties, you could simply tow a compact mini fridge with a tap to keep your beer chilled while camping in the sun.
BIZ BUZZ By Breanne Massey Petri Raito and Ryan Arnaud, the owners of Trail Brewing, want to raise the bar on keg culture, so-to-speak. Instead of having a messy house after a party or a kitchen full of empty cans after a weekend, you could have a portable kegerator. “Most people think of commercial kegs but ours are smaller and they basically eliminate all of the mess of the bottle depot,� explained Raito, while comparing their craftsmanship to typical kegs. “We want everybody to become kegerator aware to change their beer life in a positive way.� Kegerators—operating with a mini-fridge or dumpster foundation, are fully equipped with pouring taps and trays to catch any spills— can be purchased or rented, but Trail Brewing is more than willing to install these units for customers. Each keg holds five gallons (19 litres), the equivalent of 55 bottles of beer. “If you need to go somewhere where there’s going to be no electricity, you can just take (a kegerator) and throw

The duo will also be selling wine kits. “Just think of us like a microbrewery with a U-Brew format,� said Arnaud.
Trail Brewery will open its doors for business on Aug. 10 and will be open from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. from Monday to Saturday. Drop by and check out their shop at 1672 Second Ave. For more information, visit trailbrewing.com.

The boys are currently setting up shop in East Trail, across the street from Safeway, where people can come in and brew beer of all varieties. “With each beer we have all of our own ingredients and recipes, and we don’t use any additives or syrups,� Arnaud said. It’s the epitome of Canadian culture: healthy beer. Customers are expected to come to the shop twice—the first visit is to mix up some of the ingredients and the second trip is for bottling. There are currently eight
“Before it was people who were anticipating there was going to be a contract that was going to be signed, but now people are coming in and they’re not afraid of making a decision.� Brandt chalked up the recent rise in automotive sales to “job security� and the recent “employee discount� sale in the dealership. But former Trail city councillor Roger
Catalano questioned how much of the money was staying in Trail. He said the city has lost 16 businesses over the last few years may send shoppers elsewhere. “How are you going to get them to spend money when they have nowhere to spend it?� he asked. “We are going backwards.� However, Simon Boka and Brennan Turner from Soundwest

Although their business has seen a recent increase in sales, they are concerned about the way it could ante up between Trail and the nearby U.S. market. “It’s all about priorities, we aren’t exactly at the top of the pecking order,� Boka acknowledged. He felt some of that bonus cash could be

REGIONAL City has little power to enforce licensing FROM PAGE 1 Trail’s downtown core. “I don’t think retail is the same as it was 10 years ago,” he said. “Frankly, we’ve had some big challenges with the North American economy, and that is not something exclusive to Trail. We finally do feel it. There are positive things happening, but you can’t ignore the impacts of a global economic slow down. They do affect smaller cities.” He pointed to other communities in Western Canada and within the West Kootenay as also having the same trouble with their downtown cores. Councillor Gord DeRosa agreed. “We all do recognize the devolution of the downtown core, and the expected migration to big box stores. We understood that, we half expected that, but how do you offset it?” he said. For its part in fostering the local economy, DeRosa said the city does have an economic development committee that sends out invitations to commercial ventures that may be interested in setting up shop in Trail. “But if the business case is ultimately not here, the answer is, ‘No.’” said DeRosa. So Catalano will continue with his licence fee protest until he gains an audience with council. “The business licence is a faulty thing; it has no teeth, and there’s nothing they can do about (people not paying),”

No optout on smart meters, says BC Hydro
STICKY STUCCO SET UP
he said. City corporate administrator Michelle McIsaac agreed. The city can’t apply delinquent business licence fees against property taxes, nor can they shut a business down if they refuse to pay. However, on July 16 city council approved doubling the penalty for those who were felonious in paying the fee— from $25 to $50—and noted they had sent letters to 13 Trail businesses who had not paid, asking them to do so or face the new fine. But if that coercion is not effective, the city will take steps with a solicitor to determine a proper course of legal action. McIsaac noted that the business licence bylaw contained a whole section on revoking a licence, but if a business doesn’t have a valid licence to begin with municipal government cannot threaten to revoke a licence. “Really, we want to have a good relationship with our business community. We don’t want to take a heavy-handed approach,” McIsaac said. “We don’t want to visit them and issue tickets. We want these businesses to remain in operation with a valid licence.” For the most part the business community is cooperative, she said, but a few have fallen through cracks and require follow up. And it was conceivable that a few businesses on the most wanted list were no longer operating, and they hadn’t taken the steps to notify the city.

BC Hydro has told the City of Fernie council that residents will not be given the option to opt out of having a smart meter installed. Council passed a resolution in June asking for a moratorium on the smart meter program, or that customers be given an opt out option. Councils in Sparwood and Elkford did not pass resolutions. Elkford Mayor Dean McKerracher said that the issue was discussed at length and some council members wanted to pass a resolution while others didn’t. In the end the council decided to

let citizens deal with BC Hydro on their own. Sparwood Mayor Lois Halko said that the council decided not to pass a resolution because the precedent was already set when they accepted new wireless water meters several years ago. BC Hydro maintained its position that there will be no opt out option. More than 50 communities throughout the province have passed resolutions requesting either an opt out option or a moratorium on the smart meters. “They’ve spent billions of dollars to implement this program. They aren’t going to go back on it,” said

Fernie Mayor Mary Giuliano. BC Hydro began installation of 10,000 meters in the Elk Valley this month and expects to be finished by the end of August. To date, 1.5 million of the proposed 1.87 million smart metres have been installed across the province. Sarina Beran of Sparwood made a presentation to the Fernie council in June, which led to the resolution being passed. “BC Hydro has installed a wireless meter and it invades my right to decide what goes on in my house,” said Beran. “People have the right to decide what their bodies are exposed to.”

I’m really excited.” The event is open to women only, but you don’t have to be a chamber member to attend. Baren was armed with information from the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters. According to the BC Hydro website, the smart meters are active for a total average of one minute per day, which includes the relay of information that may be required for data transmission and coordination between meters. “In relation to health, we rely on the medical authority,” said Cindy Verschoor, communications manager for the smart metering program. ”All the medical authorities, provincial, national and international have confirmed that smart meters are safe.”

KELOWNA
City set to sell utility BY KATHY MICHAELS Kelowna Capital News
Kelowna’s getting ready to offload its electrical system, but city staff say the move won’t leave taxpayers’ or rate-payers’ interests at risk. The sale of the municipally-owned utility is expected to net the city an estimated $50 million, which would then be invested into a future FortisBC publicly traded debt issuance. Returns on that investment should offer at least $2.1 million per year, which is basically the same profit it now earns from the utility, said John Vos, the city’s community services general manager, Monday. While breaking even may not be incentive to offload an asset, he also explained that it’s the reduction of risk that’s most appealing. “We had a comprehensive review about the capital needs and we have a lot of aging infrastructure,” Vos told city council, Monday. “There are aging poles and wires that need to be replaced… we also need to make the system more robust.” The estimated cost of getting the system up to snuff over the next 20 years is in the area of $70 million. If the sale goes through, FortisBC will have to bear all those expenses. As for the cost of electricity, the city inevitably bumps its rates up in conjunction with FortisBC raising the rates, now there will just be less of a delay. That said, the move does mark a shift in risk. “We’ll make a move from being utility operators, to being utility investors,” Vos said, noting not everyone will necessarily embrace that idea. “The challenge will be explaining that you’ll continue getting the benefits from being an owner to being an investor,” echoed Coun. Robert Hobson, who said the transference of risk is hard to explain to the public. “What guarantees that we’ll get the same level of return? City staffer Derek Edstrom agreed that would be a challenge, but one that they intend to address through public consultation and an independent review is being conducted, to assess the city’s stand in the transfer of the asset. Kelowna is only one of six cities in B.C. that operates its own electrical system.

Clark has taken the firm stand that five conditions must be met for B.C. to even consider the Enbridge (TSX:ENB) project, which will carry crude from Alberta to a port on the West Coast for shipment to Asia.

“Here we are, taking the bulk of the risk – on the marine side, 100 per cent of the risk – and we’re not getting much in return.” CHRISTY CLARK
Alberta Premier Alison Redford expressed disappointment in Clark’s comments on Tuesday morning, and has said B.C. would “fundamentally change confederation” by demanding increased compensation. “That means every single time that you have an economic project or a commercial project there has to be a new negotiation of the balance sheet,” she told reporters. “It’s not how Canada has worked, it’s not how Canada has succeeded and I’m disappointed to hear the comments.” But Clark said Alberta must either work with her to rebalance the equation or B.C. won’t buy in. “I am going to fight for this, for British Columbia,” she said. “I do know that there’s been lots of dif-
ficult conversations ... that have unfolded across the country that have led to agreement,” she said. “They don’t involve opening up the constitution.” Only 8.2 per cent of the Northern Gateway’s projected $81 billion tax revenue would flow to B.C. over a 30-year period, according to research commissioned by the B.C. government. That equates to $6.7 billion for B.C., while Ottawa is expected to receive $36 billion and Alberta would earn $32 billion. Saskatchewan is expected to top the remainder of the provinces in terms of tax benefit, receiving about $4 billion. The analysis was conducted by Wright Mansell Research Ltd., and accounts for a period between 2016 and 2046. British Columbia’s gross domestic product would get a boost of 17 per cent of $270 billion over that period, while the total employment benefit would be 25 per cent of the project but mainly consist of short-term construction jobs. “Here we are, taking the bulk of risk - on the marine side, 100 per cent of the risk -
and we’re not getting much in return,” Clark said. Environmental assessment hearings are currently underway for the project that the federal government has championed for its potential to boost the economy. But environmental advocates and First Nations have long argued leaks from tankers transporting the oil could tarnish B.C.’s land, while a spill along the coast could be devastating. Enbridge has already had to conduct major oil cleanups in Alberta and Michigan after pipeline breaches. Last week, the company announced it will shore up another $500 million in safety improvements for the 1,177-kilometre twin line. Activists, however, have said no amount of money will satisfy them - they want the $5.5-billion project stopped. Redford said despite understanding that Clark is concerned about the economy just as she is, she’s not prepared to give any leeway. She noted many other commodities move across borders without compensation.

NDP warns food prices set to soar THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - New Democrats warn the price of food is set to soar as farmers in eastern Canada have watched their crops wither and die during one of the worst droughts in recent memory. NDP MP Malcolm Allen described parts of southern Ontario as a wasteland, where many crops have been damaged too badly to bounce back. He and his colleague Ruth Ellen Brosseau called on Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz to do more to show drought-stricken farmers that the government is there to help.
But Ritz’s office says the government has several programs to help farmers mitigate and manage the financial impact of weatherrelated events, such as drought. A spokesman for Ritz says it’s too early to tell to what degree farmers will be affected by the dry growing conditions, and the Agriculture Department is keeping an eye on the situation. Farmers in the United States, the world’s largest corn grower and exporter, have seen their crops decimated by the worst drought in decades, sending corn prices soaring to record levels.

More cops to patrol deadly highway THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - The Alberta government hopes more police will reduce the carnage on a dangerous highway that is the main road to the oilsands region in the Fort McMurray area. The province says it will assign 16 more sheriffs and RCMP to patrol Highway 63 by next year, including four officers by the end of next month. The province said it will also install electric digital signs that will show how fast people are driving. “I don’t know that everybody who gets a ticket appreciates it, but everybody that goes up and down the road safely and get 5)& ,005&/":n4 05& &/":n4 0/-:
back to their family or their jobs safely - I’m sure they appreciate it,� Transportation Minister Ric McIver said Tuesday. The move is in response to recommendations in a government-commissioned report into the high number of fatal and serious collisions on the highway. Premier Alison Redford asked for the report following protests to fast-track twinning of the road dubbed the “Highway of Death.� The primary stretch of road linking Edmonton to Fort McMurray has seen hundreds of crashes, many with serious injuries and deaths. %*(*5" %*(*5"- % 5".07*& 5)&"53& .07*& & 5

“We are very focused on ensuring that we are putting everything in place with respect to traffic safety and enforcement that is going to allow for a freer flow of traffic and a safer flow of traffic,� Redford said at a pancake breakfast in Edmonton. There was no mention in Tuesday’s announcement about a recommendation in the report to give police the power to immediately seize the vehicles of people caught driving at excessive speeds. British Columbia and Ontario have such laws and the step has been long-supported by the Alberta Association of Chiefs of Police.
National crime rate at lowest level in 40 years THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Fewer crimes were reported to police in Canada in 2011 than at any other time in the last 40 years, Statistics Canada said Tuesday a revelation that comes as political leaders wrestle with how to curb gun violence on the streets of Toronto. And that discussion - Mayor Rob Ford met Monday with Premier Dalton McGuinty, then Tuesday with Prime Minister Stephen Harper should be the focal point of the debate, not the numbers, according to at least one crime expert. Though the city’s wounds are still raw from two recent deadly shootings, the agency reported that the seriousness of crime in Toronto was down last year, as it was in almost every major Canadian city. And while the overall homicide rate was up seven per cent - there were 598 homicides in Canada in 2011, 44 more than the previous year the number in Ontario actually hit record lows. Altogether, police services reported nearly 2 million incidents last year, about 110,000 fewer than in 2010, the agency reported. The decline in the crime rate was driven mostly by decreases in property offences, mischief, breakins and car theft. But the severity of crime index - a tool used to measure the extent of serious crime in Canada - also declined by six per cent. “Overall, this marked the eighth consecutive decrease in Canada’s crime rate,� the study said. “Since peaking in 1991, the crime rate has generally been decreasing, and is now at its lowest point since 1972.� Not surprisingly, the Conservatives took credit for the decline Tuesday, attributing falling crime rates over the last four decades to the government’s tough-on-crime agenda, which is just six years old. “These statistics show that our tough on crime measures are starting to work. Our government is stopping the revolving door of the criminal justice system,� said Julie Carmichael, a spokeswoman for Public Safety Minister Vic Toews. “The fact of the matter is that when the bad guys are kept in jail longer, they are not out committing crimes and the crime rate will decrease.

However, there is still more work to do.� But the debate needs to move beyond how long to keep a criminal in jail and move to how he or she gets there in the first place, said Irwin Waller, a criminology professor at the University of Ottawa. “We don’t need any more debate on the Criminal Code,� Waller said. “What you see with all the shemozzle in Toronto is that folks aren’t looking at real solutions. Real solutions are things that reduce shootings and reduce homicides and that means you have to look at what has worked to do that.� In 2009, the latest year of available statistics, it was estimated that about two-thirds of all criminal victimization was not reported to police, Statistics Canada said. That number is often cited by the Conservatives as the basis for their tough-on-crime agenda. Earlier this year, they passed into law a major piece of crime legislation, the Safe Streets and Communities Act. Among other things, it increased penalties for crimes involving drugs and the sexual exploitation of children. “They’re correct to have used the statistics, but I don’t think that (the bill) was a significant way of reducing what they were calling attention to,� said Waller. While the crime rates in Toronto are dropping, other cities are seeing a spike, Statistics Canada reported. Winnipeg, however, had a six per cent increase in the severity of violent crime, giving it the highest rank among census metropolitan areas. Five other census metropolitan areas recorded increases in the seriousness of violent crime with the largest being reported in Gatineau, Que., and Guelph, Ont. Western provinces generally reported higher crime rates and crime severity than those in the east.

Canada’s economy in for a rough ride
T
his summer marks the third anniversary of the economic recovery that began following the 2008 global financial crisis and recession that descended upon much of the world in its wake. By any measure it has been a subdued economic rebound, particularly for many of the “advanced” countries that belong to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Although a few OECD countries, including Canada and the U.S., have seen output surpass the pre-recession peak, most have yet to re-attain their pre-2008 levels of gross domestic product. This is the situation in the UK, Japan, and most of continental Europe. A little more than half way through 2012, the signs point to both a faltering global economy and a deteriorating near-term picture in North America. In recent weeks the Bank of Canada, the International Monetary Fund and a handful of private forecasters have all trimmed their economic projections for 2012 and 2013. In the Eurozone – consisting of 17 European nations that have adopted a single currency and central bank – GDP growth is close to zero, reflecting
positive but low growth in the “northern” members like Germany, France and the Netherlands, offset by declining economic activity across “southern” Europe. The UK – which, technically, is not part of the Eurozone – is also in or flirting with a double-dip recession. A glance at the daily headlines shows the Eurozone mired in a serious economic crisis that features ever-widening performance gaps between “core” and “peripheral” members, inadequately capitalized banks, a general drying up of credit, and sky-high government borrowing costs for countries like Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal. As the peripheral European countries implement fiscal consolidation programs intended to reduce interest rates and enable their governments to again access bond markets on tolerable terms, their economies are contracting. A number of these nations face difficult fiscal and economic adjustments that will stretch over several years. Whether they will remain members of the common currency zone is unclear. But in the short-term, the economic and financial problems in Europe are sure to depress growth in the region and to act as an unwelcome head-

wind for the global economy as a whole. Turning to the United States, the positive economic news that characterized the early months of the year has given way to a less promising scenario. While U.S. housing markets appear to be stabilizing and balance sheets are in good shape across much of corporate America, job creation has decelerated and most readings of business and consumer confidence point to widespread pessimism. The number of Americans classified as “employed” is still five million below where it stood in 2007, causing some economists to argue that the longadmired U.S. jobs engine has broken down. Canada, in contrast, has enjoyed a relatively healthy labour market, albeit employment growth has slowed notice-
ably in 2012. Recently, the U.S. has seen both exports and manufacturing shipments take a hit, owing to the slump in Europe and a rise in the value of the dollar relative to many other currencies. Of particular concern, given that consumers drive 70 per cent of economy-wide spending, is that June was the third consecutive month of falling retail sales. U.S. consumers remain cautious, and it’s not hard to understand why. Apart from a sluggish job market, American households have suffered an unprecedented decline in their net worth, with median wealth – the wealth of the household in the middle of the wealth distribution – dropping by an astonishing 39 per cent between 2007 and 2010. At the heart of this wealth shock was a steep fall in housing prices across much of the country. Today, almost onequarter of American homeowners with mortgages find themselves with “negative equity” in what, for most, is their single most important asset. What about the emerging markets, whose brisk growth arguably has been the main factor keeping the world economy afloat since 2007? Unfortunately, many
of these economies are also losing momentum. Growth is slowing in China, India, and Russia, while in Brazil it appears to have stalled altogether. The expectation of less robust growth in the emerging economies is putting downward pressure on some commodity prices. Although emerging markets collectively are destined to become increasingly important players in global production and consumption in the years ahead, they cannot offset the effects of economic stagnation, unfavorable demographics, and political and institutional dysfunction evident in many of the advanced nations. All in all, it’s now prudent to scale back the outlook for Canada’s economy, as global risks and uncertainties intensify and the domestic factors – such as buoyant housing markets, solid job gains, and government-engineered fiscal stimulus – that have helped to support our economy since mid-2009 peter out or shift into reverse. In today’s world, Canada can count itself fortunate if it manages to eke out annual GDP gains of 2 per cent over 2012-13.

I will be bringing lots of Canadian souvenirs along with me to give away, such as Olympic mitts and maple syrup. I will also be bringing multiple photography books of the West Kootenay to show off our beautiful outdoors to them. Almost like bringing a little of my home there with me. As I begin packing two emotions cross my mind. First, I am anxious. Anxious to leave behind what has always been home, my friends, my family, the Columbia River, the Kootenays, and even the small hamlet of Fruitvale, a mere speck to the rest of the world. But then I am excited. Excited that there is more world out there for me to discover beyond what’s always been in front of me, and more importantly I am excited that I have been given the opportunity to discover it. I so greatly appreciate the experience Rotary has given me to be an ambassador for our country, to learn a new culture and create international ties that will hopefully last forever.

Raise fines for driving and talking An editorial from the Kamloops Daily News Drivers, particularly in B.C., aren’t getting the message that chatting on a handheld cellphone while operating a vehicle is not OK. Nine out of 10 Canadians, of 1,000 surveyed by pollster Angus Reid last month, said they had seen drivers burning up their airtime from behind the wheel. This despite the offence carrying a $167 penalty and the point that it’s not a new rule - B.C. made it illegal to text or talk on cellphones while driving nearly three years ago. Local police affirm the poll results; RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said “on any night driving home from work, you will see people using cellphones� and the Southeast Traffic Division has found people driving through busy intersections
while using handheld cellphones, putting themselves and the rest of us at risk. Granted, we do see lots of people who do what they’re supposed to by pulling over to the side of the road to take or make a call. But it is as common a sight to see someone driving with one hand on the wheel and the other clutching the phone, or the recognizable head craned to the shoulder as the phone is wedged between ear and cheek. It seems these chatter boxes on wheels think the law is no big deal, but it’s not an idle rule - the B.C. government said in January that the rule has saved 16 lives since it was introduced. So people know it’s wrong yet they persist in the dangerous behaviour. We say it’s time to drive the message home in a way that
these law breakers hear - by increasing the fine to $368, which would match the penalty for driving without due care. Additionally, the slap on the wrist for that offence comes with six driver penalty points instead of the zero in place. This means when the cellphone offender goes to renew his or her insurance, they’ll have to pay an additional $300. The average car weighs between 1,350 to 2,500 kilograms, with full-size trucks tipping the scales between 3,375 and 5,400 kg. That’s a hefty weapon to be carelessly hurling around with anything less than the utmost care. Since the message that driving while talking on a handheld cellphone isn’t sinking in, it’s time to look at ramping up penalties to better deter this behaviour.

New York teen fulfills wish with wolves BY JESSICA SCHWITEK Golden Star
New York City is a long way from Golden, but when the Make a Wish Foundation asked 16-year-old Christina

Notice of Passing RICHARD ANTHONY FEHR June 16, 2001 to July 20, 2012 It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Richard Anthony Fehr. Richard went to be with his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, on July 20, 2012. Richard loved his family deeply and lived life to the fullest. We were blessed to have had him with us, and we will miss him so very much. He was a loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend. His beautiful smile and gentle spirit was a gift to all who truly knew him. Richard has left his footprints on the hearts of many. He is survived by his mom, Amy; dad, Doug; brother, Eric; grandparents, Raffaella and Dercey D’Andrea; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. A memorial service will be held at the Christina Lake Community Hall on Saturday, July 28, 2012, at 2:30 p.m., with Father Matthieu Gombo Yange, OfmCap presiding. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the SPCA. Richard and his Nonno loved to visit the animals there. Condolences may be sent to gffh@shaw.ca.

They were somewhat shocked because usually kids her age like to go to Disney World, things like that. And here she was, asking to go to Canada,” said Christina’s dad, Peter Heinzer, who made the trip to Canada with her. Christina, who has been coping with a diagnosis of Ewings Sarcoma, has been interested in wild animals her whole life, with a particular fascination for wolves. “I’ve always liked wild species of dogs and cats,” said Christina. “So I really wanted to see wolves in Canada. “We talked about it, I said ‘where do you want to go for your make-a-wish trip.’ She said she wanted to go to Northern Lights Wolf Centre in Golden Canada,” said Peter, who had never heard of the place before. But Christina knew what she wanted, and did all the research herself to find the
Northern Light Wolf Centre. While at the centre she got to play with a couple wolf puppies, before heading out on a hike to walk with the wolves. But before heading to the wolf centre on Monday, Christina and Peter took a drive up to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort to visit Boo the bear. “That was the first time I’d seen a grizzly bear,” said Christina. “It was great, just beautiful country up here,” said Peter. After leaving Golden, the pair will head to Calgary for a special visit to the Calgary Zoo. They have arranged for Christina to feed some of the animals there. And if there’s time, they might make a trip up to Drumheller to see the dinosaur capital of the world, before heading back to their home just outside of Manhattan. Christina has had a trip she will not soon forget. “She was telling
me as we were driving over the highway, she said ‘Dad, you wouldn’t mind if I wanted to live here would you?’” said Peter. Christina’s wish was granted by the MakeA-Wish Foundation of Suffolk Country, assisted by Make-A-Wish BC who is helping with local arrangements. Make-A-Wish BC assists with approximately 20 wishes a year for kids who want to visit B.C. for their wish. “Sixty-two per cent of our wish assists this year are tourism related as B.C. is a tremendous draw for people around the world. Whether it’s to see wolves or Orcas in the wild, go salmon fishing or skiing, wish kids and their families love to visit B.C.,” said Ross Hetherington, Executive Director for the BC Chapter. Since 1983, MakeA-Wish BC & Yukon has made almost 1,500 wishes come true for kids battling a lifethreatening medical condition.

Dunbar beats Trail in extras BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor
With only two outs to go in the bottom of the sixth and the Trail All Stars leading 5-4, somehow, some way the District 1 Dunbar All Stars escaped the seething jaws of defeat. A thrilling extra inning match up against Dunbar ended in despair for the Trail All Stars and in jubilation for the visitors, as the host team lost 6-5 in a dramatic finish at the B.C. Little League championships late Tuesday. After fighting back from a 4-0 deficit to take a 5-4 lead in the top of the sixth inning, Dunbar tied it in the bottom half and went on to seize the victory in extra innings. Trail put runners on first and third with two out in the top of the seventh inning. Quin Hall then sent a towering fly ball to deep right, but it settled into the glove of the Dunbar centre fielder just a few feet from the fence and Dunbar breathed a collective sigh of relief. Thomas Hemer then led off the bottom of the extra frame with a single, and Will Andrews got on base on an error and Hemer advanced to second. A full swing bunt by the next batter caught the boys on their heels, and the bases were loaded with none out. With the infield pulled in and the count 2 and 2, Jack Hemsworth hit a ground ball to short, the relay home sailed wide and Hemer crossed the plate for the winning run. The see-saw affair was arguably one of the best games played this week, and Dunbar manager Dave Hemer was proud of the way his team battled to the end. “I want to go out fighting every night,” said Hemer. “We had a let up last night against White Rock so we had a chat about coming out here focused and bringing everything to the floor and fight, fight, fight

Little League championship at Andy Bilesky Park. and that’s what they did, they pulled it off, and that’s what I wanted to see.” The game was scoreless after three and a half innings, when Dunbar’s bats heated up. Dylan Letvinchuk singled, and the next batter grounded to third for a potential double play, but the throw to second pulled infielder Dawson Denbiesen off the bag to put runners on first and second. Hemer then stepped up and took a 1-1 pitch over the centre field fence to make it 3-0 Dunbar. With the score 4-0, the Trail All Stars rallied. They loaded the bases in the top of five on a Brendan Makay walk, and Kian Johnston beat out a grounder to put runners on first and second, followed by a Jon Ballarin walk. With two out and the bases loaded, Colton Miracle, who gave up the homer to Hemer in the previous inning,
stepped up to the plate. With the count 2 and 1, Miracle jacked the next pitch out of the park for the grand slam to tie the game at 4-4. Trail would take the lead in the sixth when the speedy Hall chopped a ball over the third baseman’s head and stretched it into a double. Makay then bunt-singled sending Hall to third as Kian Johnston came to the plate. With two strikes, Johnston got the bat on the ball and sent a fly to shallow centre. Hall tagged up and beat the throw to the plate to make it 5-4 Trail. With three outs left, Trail seemed poised for victory, but after getting Hemsworth to ground out, Jamie Catliff hammered a 2-2 pitch over the centre field fence to tie the game and force the extra inning. When asked how Dunbar managed to keep its composure following an incredible
SELKIRK SAINTS HOCKEY
Former Nitehawk commits BY TIMES STAFF Former Beaver Valley Nitehawk, Mason Spear, can’t get enough of the Kootenays as the Medicine Hat native committed to the Selkirk College Saints Men’s Hockey program this week. Spear is already familiar to local hockey fans following three seasons in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League with the Beaver Valley Nitehawks, Kimberley Dynamiters and Fernie Ghostriders. He spent the majority of his junior career with the Nitehawks, who he helped to a KIJHL Championship this spring as one of the team’s assistant captains. He scored 21 goals and totalled 49 points in 42 regular season games during the 2011/12 campaign and added another 16 points in 17 playoff contests. The 21-year old’s career KIJHL totals include 37 goals, 65 assists and 551 pen-
alty minutes in 129 games. “Mason’s work ethic, grit and skill level make him a tremendous addition to our roster,” says Saints head coach Jeff Dubois. “He plays a high-energy, physical game that I expect to be very effective in our league and he’s also shown the ability to put up some good offensive numbers, particularly over the past year in Beaver Valley. He’ll have
the opportunity to step up and be a solid contributor in his first BCIHL season.” Spear is one of a number of Saints recruits with ties to the West Kootenays, as Trail native and former Smoke Eaters captain Logan Proulx and Nelson Leafs alumnus Connor McLaughlin both committed to Selkirk College earlier this offseason. His addition also brings the total umber of KIJHL graduates on the Saints roster to 10. “I can’t express how happy I am to come back to the Kootenays for the chance to further my education and to continue to play hockey,” says Spear. “I’ve been playing in this area for the last two seasons and it’s like my home now. I just love the area and the people here and to have the opportunity to go to school and to play hockey at the next level is a bonus.”
Trail comeback, Hemer replied, “We hauled them into a huddle and we told those kids, ‘Look we got two more bats let’s do it, lets keep it up. There up by one, I don’t care what the score is, let’s just keep battling.’” Dunbar now sits at 3-1 and has the inside track on a playoff berth as it gets set to play Hastings today. Hemer likes the team’s chances. “It lines us up very well. You get two wins in this with six teams, we have a very good chance of getting to the semis. The kids are up, we’re happy, and we’ll take it. Trail was a great competitor, they didn’t give up either, so we’re very, very happy.” Trail still has an outside chance at the playoff if they beat Forest Hills Tuesday night and Beacon Hill tonight. Trail’s final game of the round robin goes against Beacon Hill tonight at 5 p.m.
The Rock undefeated BY TIMES STAFF In the battle for pole position at the B.C. Little League championship, White Rock surprised Hastings with a 7-6 late-inning win Tuesday. White Rock jumped out to a 4-0 lead on a Perrin Finley grand slam in the first inning. Hastings trimmed the lead to two, but the Rock added two more to take a 6-2 lead heading into the sixth and final inning. White Rock pitcher Evan Lane kept the potent Hastings hitters off balance all game, but with a pitching change in the sixth, the VancouverBurnaby team fought back, scoring four runs in the top-half of the inning to tie the game at 6-6. In the bottom of the sixth, however, Stephen Lin and Shane Killoran started the rally for White Rock with back-to-back singles. They’d advance to second and third on a passed ball, and with two out and two strikes on Jackson Hogg, a wild pitch would score Lin, and give White Rock the 7-6 victory and a perfect 4-0 record in the round robin. In Tuesday’s other match, Dunbar beat Beacon Hill 10-0 to go 3-1 and will face Hastings tomorrow. Beacon Hill, 1-3, can get into the playoff with a win over Trail tonight.

CEO Jeff Cogen, the team released a statement that called the Weber signing, “the most important hockey transaction in franchise history.” Weber is a three-time All Star who helped Canada win gold in the 2010 Olympics, and is also is the mainstay of the Predators’ defensive-minded approach. He is coming off a season in which he turned in a career-best plus-21 rating. Weber was sixth among NHL defencemen in scoring, as well, last year. He also had a career-high 22 points on the power play, and led all NHL defencemen with 10 powerplay goals. Weber averaged 29 minutes nine seconds of ice time last season, second on the team to his former partner, Suter, who signed a 13-year, $98 million deal with Minnesota on July 4. The Predators said they wanted to send a message to their fans that they remain committed to fielding a Stanley Cup contender. “It was absolutely essential that they understand and believe that we are doing everything possible to ice a Stanley Cup competing team each and every season,” the Predators said in a release. It’s easily the biggest contract in Nashville history.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA - The Nashville Predators have matched the staggering offering sheet made by the Philadelphia Flyers for defenceman Shea Weber. The Predators made sure on Tuesday they will keep their star defenceman when they decided to pay him $110 million over 14 years. Weber, 26, is the Predators’ captain and played on a $7.5 million arbitrator’s award last season. He had 19 goals and 49 points along the way. Nashville already lost free-agent defenceman Ryan Suter to Minnesota this summer, and losing Weber would have been an unexpected blow to a defence-first team that had 104 points last season. The Flyers were looking for someone to fill the void left by Philadelphia defenceman Chris Pronger’s absence. Weber hoped he would land in Philadelphia. Now, he will likely end his career in Nashville. “In tendering an offer sheet to Shea Weber, we were trying to add a top defenceman entering the prime of his career,” Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said. “With Nashville matching our offer, we wish Shea and the Predators all the best.” On behalf of Predators chairman Tom Cigarran, GM David Poile and

TORONTO - Henry Burris’s 360 yards passed and four touchdowns earned him the CFL’s offensive player of the week award on Tuesday. The Hamilton TigerCats quarterback completed 27 of 30 passes in a 39-24 victory over the Montreal Alouettes. That tied him with Jason Maas for the fifth best single-game mark

LEISURE
Try to be open with others about hair loss Dear Annie: I am an attractive 30-something female who began experiencing thinning hair in my late 20s due to a thyroid disorder. Many women have the confidence to accept their hair loss and do nothing to hide it. I admire that. However, for me, it contributes to embarrassment, low self-esteem and a lack of confidence. When I started wearing wigs several years ago, I could only afford synthetics, but found some affordable, realistic ones. The problem? There have been a handful of times when people -- namely co-workers and guests at social gatherings -have come right out and asked me, in the company of others no less, whether I wear a wig. Their tactlessness never fails to stun me, and the only response I can muster is, “Why do you ask?” The most common response is, “It always looks too perfect.”
ANNIE’S
MAILBOX
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
More appalling is when people touch or tug on my hair without my permission to “see if it’s real.” Sometimes people ask where I get my hair done, which I know is an attempt to find out whether I wear a wig. I fear that one day someone will pull it off. I don’t like to lie, so I usually change the subject or act distracted. I have perused hair loss forums on the Internet for advice and have found that many women are very open about it as a means to educate others. I’m not like that. My experience has been painful and personal. Other than my doctor, I never
have admitted to anyone that I wear a wig. It’s no one’s business. Why on earth are these people so fixated on my hair? How do I respond to these intrusive, thoughtless and insensitive people without raising any fuss? -- Wigged Out in the U.S.A. Dear Wigged Out: What colossal nerve. Even if your wig is more obvious than you think, it does not excuse such terrible behavior. We know you don’t want to disclose your hair loss, but it might be quite liberating and certainly would put an end to the anxiety you are experiencing over discovery. Until then, however, feel free to respond to these idiots with wide eyes and a shocked expression, saying, “I’m sure you didn’t intend to be so rude.” Then walk away. Dear Annie: My son is getting married, and my husband and I are paying for the rehears-
al dinner. My mother is adamant that all out-of-town guests be invited. My son and his fiancee prefer to keep the guest list to the wedding party, parents and grandparents. Otherwise it risks becoming too large. And if we include outof-towners from our side, we also have to include those from the bride’s side. Is it normal protocol to invite out-of-town guests to the rehearsal dinner? Could we invite only some of them? -Rehearsal Blues Dear Blues: If there are large numbers of out-of-town guests, you do not need to invite them to the rehearsal dinner, although you should provide some type of refreshment when they arrive, either in their hotel rooms or by way of a hospitality suite. If there are people traveling a great distance who are special to the family, you may invite
them individually, but we don’t recommend including most of the groom’s side and none of the bride’s. Dear Annie: As for egregious etiquette errors, how’s this one? At the end of a wedding shower, a guest
who had brought no gift stood up and said, “I am giving a special gift to the bride: She doesn’t need to send anyone here a thankyou note.” And we never received any acknowledgement for our gen-
erous present. -- Miffed Guest Dear Miffed: How charming. A smart bride would have ignored that “gift.” Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Thursday, July 26, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Even though you’re tempted to settle wills, inheritances, shared property and insurance matters, postpone this kind of thing until next week. (Or Saturday at the earliest.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You simply will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. This is no big deal. Just be your charming, gracious self. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Attend to business as usual at work today. Avoid making important decisions or major expenditures until next week. Just carry on. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a fabulous, playful day! You’re interested in the theater, the arts and sports. Romance might be promising. Enjoy playful activities
with children. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a pleasant, downhome day. Enjoy interactions with family members. However, do not shop for home and family, and do not buy real estate today or tomorrow. (Wait until Saturday.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is an easygoing day with others; however, do not sign important documents or make important decisions. Postpone this sort of thing until next week. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be very careful in financial matters today. This is a poor day for important decisions, especially with cash expenditures. Shop for nothing other than food. (This restriction applies to tomorrow as well.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a pleasant day; however, you might be a bit more emotional than usual. Just
kick back and relax. Don’t get too excited about anything. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You will enjoy working behind the scenes or working alone today, because you need a bit of privacy. Don’t commit to anything important. Just stick to your routine. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You’ll enjoy the company of others, especially in group settings. It’s fine to discuss
anything and get data, but don’t agree to anything important before Saturday. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Some aspect of your private life probably will be made a bit public today. Be aware that people in authority will discover whatever it is. (Hopefully, you have nothing to hide.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Enjoy a getaway trip some-
where or some minor travel. Discussions with people from other countries and different backgrounds will interest you as well. Your curiosity is aroused, and you’re open to learning new things. YOU BORN TODAY You’re direct in your speech and your actions when you go after what you want. You have a deep understanding of society and what is going on around you, which is why you are timely and influen-

The BC Coroners service will be resuming its search for the two missing victims of the Johnsons Landing landslide. The remains of 17-year-old Rachel Webber and 64-year-old Petra Frehse are still missing after the landslide hit on July 12. “We will resume searches in areas that at the time we considered moderate probabilities and that would be on the edges and boundaries of the areas already searched,� said chief coroner Lisa Lapointe during a Tuesday morning press conference in Kaslo. The work at the landslide was suspended last Wednesday after six days of search efforts at the slide. The BC Coroners Service confirmed late last week that the remains found at the landslide were of 60-year-old Valentine Webber and 22-year-old Diana Webber.

Lapointe said the search would resume the middle of this week for two more days. “We did a very careful assessment of the site to see whether the remains may be recoverable,� said Lapointe. “It’s very important for the family of course and the community as well. The initial excavation at the site of the Webber household and at the area where we knew the Frehse household had been were very thorough and thoughtful. But we’re convinced now having completed two full days excavating an area about 10-metre radius around the home.� A portion of a property where a house was completely destroyed by the slide has been moved from the evacuation order area. “The benefit it had was the Johnsons Landing Retreat Centre, when we moved the line we were able to eliminate them from the evacuation order area,� said Frances Maika of the regional district.
