Local NDP candidate optimistic after Alberta results BY SHERI REGNIER Trail Times

We always say most Canadians are NDP supporters, they just don't know it yet, claims Richard Cannings, the New Democrat candidate for the South Okanagan-West Kootenay (SOWK). With current NDP MP Alex Atamanenko in the Netherlands to observe the country's 70th anniversary of liberation, the Trail Times asked Cannings, who was in Trail Wednesday, for some insight about the NDP's historic toppling of the Progressive Conservatives in Alberta's provincial election. In the newly formed SOWK, the Okanagan region that Cannings hails from has been traditionally Conservative. Which leads to the question, could an orange wave wash through the West Kootenay and Okanagan region during October's federal election? “I think it (Alberta's election) bodes well for NDP across the country simply because it opens people's minds to realize we could have an NDP government,” he said. “They told us we couldn't win in Quebec, but we won in Quebec in the last federal election. They also told us we could never win Alberta and look what happened.” He said the NDP is positioned better than it ever has been to form the federal government, now being the official opposition with over 100 MPs in Parliament. “Again in Alberta, the NDP were way back in third place and Albertans realized they were the best choice for their government,” noted Cannings. “And I think that's really opened a lot of people's eyes.” Cannings, an Okanagan based biologist and ecologist, was knocking on doors in the Silver City Wednesday afternoon and meeting the riding's new constituents. “I am well known in the Okanagan where I grew up and have been spending a lot of time there,” he said, noting the region's Conservative history. “But I am confident we can break through.” He mentioned his run in the provincial election when the NDP increased party votes significantly, tying with the Liberals. “If we can repeat that performance, we have a very good chance of victory in the fall in this new riding,” Cannings continued. “But that also depends on getting our vote in the West Kootenay, which is a friendly part of the riding for the NDP. That's why I want to talk to ask many people as possible, so they can get to know me and will get out and vote come October.”

Annual sturgeon release has generational impact BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

There was some fishy business going on in Gyro Park on Tuesday afternoon as families and kids gathered to learn about, and release, over 300 young white sturgeon into the Columbia River. Just before the big release, the crowd got a quick fish history lesson about sturgeon, learning that the fish can't reproduce until they are at least 20 years old. The fish that were let go into the river are only 10 months old, but the species can live to be over 100. Their shape, habits and biology have remained practically unchanged since the era of the dinosaurs, with their spiny skin and bottom-feeding mouths. Angus Glass is from the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program and an organizer of the event, and he says it is particularly important to get youth involved with the repopulation of white sturgeon in local waters. “The interesting thing about the species is that it is long-lived,” he said. “The females don't start reproducing until they are 25, and the males when they are 20. We adults aren't going to be around when that time comes. “It is going to be the kids who are going to be responsible for this stuff later on. Getting them informed early and young is important. “It is so much more powerful getting the kids to move this forward. And of course, the kids love seeing and holding the fish.” The species is not having a particularly successful go at maintaining a healthy population on their own, says Glass, making it all the more important for the sturgeon to get a little help from conservationists and programs like this. “There is virtually no natural recruitment going on in the Columbia River,” he said. “Very few fish are surviving through the egg stage and into the juvenile age. There has been nearly no natural reproduction for the last 40 years or so.” Along with the excitement of the fish release on the Gyro Park beach, there were educational and fun displays showing the different life stages of the white sturgeon, and even some

Earlier on Tuesday morning, the program stopped by Beaver Creek Park in Area A with grades 3, 4 and 5 students to release even more white

sturgeon into the wild in hopes they will grow to adulthood and reproduce. The team is on its way to Creston and Revelstoke next, on its mission to boost sturgeon populations and aid the natural ecosystem across the basin. For more information about the program, visit www.bchydro.com/ bcrp/.

Sturgeon release Crowds gathered at Gyro Park on Tuesday afternoon for an environmentally conscious event - releasing young white sturgeon into the Columbia River. Run by the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program and BC Hydro, the program’s goal is to reintroduce the fish back into the ecosystem with the hope that in 20 to 25 years, they will begin to reproduce on their own. The group is traveling all over the area repeating the process and growing the endangered white sturgeon population in places like Creston and Revelstoke.

A $26,000 grant sounds like a big boost for the Trail skate park. At the end of the day, however, the money only bumps the project's fundraising dollars ahead by $6,000. According to Scott Daniels, from the skate park society, two $10,000 Columbia Basin Trust grants from 2012 and 2013 have expired, so $20,000 from the trust's 2015 Community Initiatives and Affected Areas (ICP/AAP) program accounts for that loss. “So this is a net gain of $6,000 for the project,” he explained. “We were asked by the city to fundraise and we did. But we cannot spend it (grant money), and that's the way it is. “What we need is decisiveness from the City of Trail so we are not in this position again.” Daniels said with the city planning another statistical survey, his hope is the results will give Trail council some drive to clarify the priority and resources it is willing to assign to the project. “They are looking for a more comprehensive survey specifically on the skate park,” he explained, referring to Trail's 2013 master recreation plan that identified the community's desire for such a facility in its overview. “That's my specula-

tion. But my hope is they are doing this, conceivably, having to dig deeper in the taxpayers’ coffers to fund the skate park.” He maintains that youth aren't asked to raise money for ball parks or any other recreational venue so the expectation to raise $275,000 is out in left field. Since 2012, including the $6,000 grant, the society has raised about $70,000 toward the $550,000 capital cost. “In order to make sure we don't have to live with expired grants again, it is my hope this survey will provide the justification the city needs to make the skate park a higher priority,” said Daniels. He referred to the recent news that skateboarders in Ymir will have a new $25,000 skate park this summer. “My concern is that people will look at that and ask why Trail's plan has to be so ambitious,” he explained. “First of all, it sounds like the community raised the funds and people volunteered the labour. “And I read Hans Cunningham (Area G director) quote that nowadays you need a skate park as much as you need a ball diamond. I can add to that, because I don’t remember kids ever being asked to raise money for a ball park.” Taking into account that Ymir has 231 residents com-

pared to Trail's 7,000 residents, he said the city's skate park per capita works out to less than Ymir's per capita. “If people are thinking, 'Why are we planning on spending so much?' “The answer is we are not,” he added. “We are spending well in proportion, even conservatively, on a per capita basis compared to Ymir and maybe even Nelson.” Through the CBT Community Initiatives program, the City of Trail allotted $25,000 to the Society for Friends of the Trail Sk8 Park, and the Village of Warfield $1,000. Between the seven Lower Columbia communities, over $370,000 is disbursed annually through the CIP/AAP program. As with the skate park, grants are not always spent due to project delays and other factors. However, that money is then re-allocated to the community. “Each year, the trust approves carryover amounts which remain allocated to the specific community for future use,” confirmed Rachel Lucas, CBT's communications manager. “However, how money is disbursed, how long it remains with a particular project, when it needs to be returned, etc… all of this is managed by the community delivery partner (regional district).”

Fraser Institute report card meaningless to SD20, says superintendent By Liz Bevan Times Staff

Every year, the Fraser Institute releases its school report card, rating all 978 elementary schools across the province. School District 20 (SD20) schools were included on the list, but Superintendent Greg Luterbach says the report card won't affect how district schools are run. “We don't read it at all,” he said. “We at the district and schools in the district, aren't interested in comparing ourselves against other schools around the province.” Rather than rely on the Fraser Institute rating for direction, the district looks at Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) results. The institute also uses those assessment results when compiling its list, but district staff and trustees don't look at how other schools were ranked. The FSA results are a way for schools and parents to see how their students are doing in classrooms earlier than the usual end-of-semester report card. “Then, we talk about (the results) and look at ways to help support student learning,” said

Luterbach. “The district puts no weight on the report and I haven’t seen it, nor will I read it.” The Ministry of Education echoes Luterbach's thoughts, saying on their website, “attempting to rank schools or districts based on FSA results invites misleading comparisons that ignore the particular circumstances that affect achievement in each school.” In the Fraser Institute's report, St. Michael's Catholic School, which is outside of the public school system, is the highest ranked Trail school at 121st of 978 schools. Schools within SD20 ranked relatively low on the list. Rossland Summit school sits at 229 of 978, with Glenmerry close behind in 389th. Fruitvale Elementary is next, with a ranking of 436. Webster Elementary in Warfield is in 707th place, with Kinnaird and Twin Rivers in Castlegar in the lowest spots for SD20, 833 and 935, respectively. Topping the Fraser Institute's comparison list were schools located in the Lower Mainland or Vancouver Island and the majority are private or Catholic schools not funded by the province.

Wolsey

Delvina (Del) Lorraine

(August 5, 1946 – May 3, 2015)

Dearest Catherine, Mom and Gran, left us for a better place on May 3, 2015 with family by her side after a five year battle with cancer. Catherine was predeceased by her parents, David Carty and Catherine Carty, and by her brother Henry. She is survived by her spouse and partner of nearly 50 years, Tom. She is also survived by her sister, Agnes (Senga) Carty, her brother Arvid (Marg), her sister Anne and her sister-in-law Maureen Johnson (Wayne), as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. As well, left to mourn are her two children, Steve and Michelle. Gran will be missed most by her darling grandchildren, Alexandra and Easton, with whom she shared a special bond, having been an integral part of their lives. Catherine was born in Lanark, Scotland and she emigrated with her family to Canada in 1955, arriving in Montreal and eventually settling in the West Kootenays; first in Salmo, B.C. and then in Trail, B.C.

To all those who knew her, Catherine had an engaging smile that put all at ease on the first introduction. She was tenacious by nature with a tireless energy that belied her diminutive frame. She was a strong advocate for those who needed it having fought many hard battles on someone else’s behalf. Catherine will be remembered for lobbying to have all children integrated into the West Kootenay School District -- regardless of ability -after her son suffered a devastating injury in 1982 that rendered him a quadriplegic. From there, she went on to work at the Children’s Development Centre in Trail, where she helped families at risk. Her devotion to those in need fueled her spirit to help in significant ways. One of her proudest achievements was launching the palliative care / respite program in the Trail area in her role as pastoral assistant, at what was then known as Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. She regularly contributed to the local newspaper sharing words of comfort and guidance targeted to those enduring life’s most challenging moments. These skills carried on in her work with the Ministry of Social Services in Vancouver where she helped those less fortunate get back on their feet.

A Rosary will be held at Our Lady of the Assumption Church in Port Coquitlam, B.C. on Thursday, May 7, 2015 at 7:30 pm and a Catholic Funeral Mass will be officiated by Fr. Ron Thomson on Friday, May 8, 2015 at 10:00 am. Condolences may be made in Catherine’s name to the B.C. Cancer Agency, 600 West 10th Avenue, Vancouver, B.C.

October 30, 1940 ~ April 25, 2015

t is with very sad hearts that Del’s family announces her passing on April 25, 2015 with family and friends by her side at the Palliative Care Unit at the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Del’s valiant six month battle with stage four lung cancer came to an end on April 25, 2015. Her strong will to live, her positivity, and love and prayers from family and friends carried her through the last six months of grueling chemotherapy and radiation. Del was born October 30, 1940 in Trail, BC to Erminio (Butch) and Nina Bortolussi, the younger of two beautiful girls. Del is survived by her sister Geri, who resides in Deer Park, Washington. After graduating from J. Lloyd Crowe High School and working as a secretary at Cominco, she met her sweetheart, John Wolsey. The couple were married in 1964 and had two children. They were married 27 years before John passed away in 1991. Del was profoundly loved and will be sadly missed by her sister, Geri Watts; children, Tami (Dan) and Tony (Jenn); grandchildren, Joshua, Logan, Ethan, Cameron and Abigail; her cousins, nieces, nephews and beloved friends. Del loved working closely with the elderly for many years as a caregiver. She cherished her time over the last six years volunteering with Alzheimer and Dementia patients. Del loved animals and was frequently seen enjoying her favorite sport on television, soccer (football), or delving head first into a complex crossword puzzle with her crossword puzzle dictionary at her side. Known for her kindness and outgoing personality, some may be surprised to learn of her actual shyness. She possessed a contagious smile and an entertaining sense of humor and laugh. Throughout her life she maintained a sweet and simple demeanor that won the trust and hearts of many. Del will always be remembered for her willingness to listen or help anyone who needed it, her overwhelming kindness, and her constant smiling and laughter. Special thanks to the doctors and nurses of the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital as well as the Palliative Care Unit staff. It was Del’s final wish not to have a funeral service. Those that met her, knew her, loved her, and were loved by her will most certainly never forget the immense joy she brought to all of our lives. We love you, Del! Her life can be summed up in these words: Our Angel that lived, laughed, and loved. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to the Canadian Cancer Society and/or the Nanaimo SPCA.

Canadian gets military burial in the Netherlands 70 years after his death

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BERGEN-OPZOOM, Netherlands Canadian Pte. Albert Laubenstein found his final resting place on Wednesday, 70 years after he was killed

during the Allied advance through the Netherlands in the closing months of Second World War. His remains identified through a combination of den-

Betty Joan (Houston) Ector Betty Ector, of Fruitvale, British Columbia, Canada, died after a long illness from Alzheimer’s Disease. Her passing away occurred at Columbia View Lodge, Trail, BC, on April 20th, 2015 when her husband, Hugh, and oldest son, Don, were present. Betty was born in 1931 at Crystal Springs, Mississippi. She lived months past her 83rd year, and had celebrated her 61st wedding anniversary last December. She is the daughter of Roma and P. D. Houston of Sylvarena, Mississippi. Her surviving children are Don Ector, from Rossland, BC, Miriam Sanchez, of Whitewater, Colorado, David Ector, from Boulder, Colorado, Suzanne Ector from Gold Beach, Oregon and Rossland, BC. Betty and Hugh have four grandchildren: Daniel Ector, Dara Ector, Eric Sanchez and Laia Ector. Betty’s brother, P.D. Houston Jr., and sister, Martha Morgan had predeceased her. Betty was a teacher who taught at many levels: first as a primary teacher in Alaska and Argenta, BC; then as a high school teacher at Kaslo, BC, and Louisville, Mississippi. She somehow had time to earn a Master of Science degree while teaching at Wood College in Mathiston, Miss., also while conducting both a camping and horsemanship program. She then transferred her teaching duties to Mississippi State University and earned the status as Associate Professor. She had received many honours: ‘Best Girl Athlete’, ‘Head Majorette’ and ‘First Chair Flutist’ at Central High in Jackson, Miss. At Auburn University, she was selected as “Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.” Years later she earned a PhD degree in Physiology at Mississippi State University. She met Hugh at Auburn where they were married in December, 1953. After marriage they lived and taught at the places previously mentioned before retiring to Canada, near where Don and Mary (Don’s wife-partner) and Suzanne live. Present plans are to further honour Betty at the Argenta Community Hall this summer, July 30. All are welcome, of course.

tal records, historical context and artifacts - were found only last year and his burial was one of the highlights of a week of remembrances and celebrations to mark Canada’s part in the liberation of the Netherlands. Laubenstein was buried with military honours on Wednesday at the Canadian War Cemetery, about 70 kilometres from where he fought and died. Laubenstein appeared all but lost for decades. He was killed in action during the Battle of Kapelsche Veer in the winter of 1945 and was given a battlefield grave that was soon forgotten in the chaos of war. It took a hobbyist with a metal detector scanning the southern banks of the Maas River last June to pick up a suspicious signal of old cartridges and a silver ring among human remains. A check of dental records, historical documents and artifacts led to the identification of Laubenstein. That discovery brought memories of the soldier back to life for his family. “Because of all this, we have learned so much,” said grandniece Sarah Penton, a 39-year-old from Winnipeg. “So many things about his personality and his life and his service.”

Incoming Alberta premier plans to reach out to energy industry

Controversial antiterror bill passes THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The federal government’s controversial new anti-terrorism bill has won the approval of the House of Commons. The Anti-Terrorism Act, also known as Bill C-51, easily passed third reading by a margin of 183 to 96, thanks to the Conservative government’s majority and the promised support of the third-party Liberals. The legislation gives the Canadian Security Intelligence Service more power to thwart suspected terrorist plots - not just gather information about them. It also increases the exchange of federal security information, broadens no-fly list powers and creates a new criminal offence of encouraging someone to carry out a terrorist attack. In addition, the bill makes it easier for the RCMP to obtain a peace bond to restrict the movements of suspects and extend the amount of time they can be kept in preventative detention. Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney has said the legislation is required to keep Canadians safe from jihadi-inspired attacks like those that claimed the lives of two soldiers in attacks just days apart last October. Opponents of the bill have denounced the idea of allowing CSIS to go beyond gathering information to actively derailing suspected schemes. A range of interests - civil libertarians, environmental groups and the federal privacy commissioner - have expressed grave concerns about the information-sharing provisions, saying they could open the door to abuses. Prior to the vote, the Opposition New Democrats voted noisily - and in vain - in favour of proposed amendments that they say would have added a level of oversight.

THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON Incoming NDP Alberta premier Rachel Notley, in her first full day on the job, extended an olive branch to the energy industry and promised there will be no special treatment for unions. Notley said she will work with oil and gas and other business leaders to assure them her government will a partner in building the province. “I’m going to be making phone calls today to leaders within the energy industry to begin those conversations,” Notley told reporters at the legislature Wednesday. “They can count on us to work collaboratively with them. “I’m hopeful that over the course of the next two weeks they will come to realize that things are going to be just A-OK over here in Alberta.”

Asked about the close relationship the NDP traditionally has with unions, Notley said there will be no fear or favour shown. “My job is to represent all Albertans, and job creation is a good part of that,” she said. “So there’s no question that there’s common cause on many issues with union leaders, but there’s also common cause on many issues with business leaders. “That’s the kind of approach I’m going to take with governance.” Notley and her team begin their transition to power Wednesday after four decades of Progressive Conservative rule. Notley has to pick a cabinet out of her 53-member caucus, many of whom are new to politics. She must also craft a new budget, and the legislature must vote in a new

speaker to replace defeated Progressive Conservative Gene Zwozdesky. Notley said everything will become clearer in the coming days as she works with her transition team and advisers, which includes former Saskatchewan NDP premier Roy Romanow. “You know I haven’t actually been asked by the lieutenantgovernor yet to be the premier,” said Notley. “So there are actually some things that have to occur before you start mapping out calendars.” The NDP had just four legislature members and the Conservatives 70 when former premier Jim Prentice dropped the writ last month on what proved for him to be a disastrous campaign that left his party in third with 10 seats. Prentice took the

Federal Tories contemplate political Using any body part to talk mortality in wake of NDP victory on cellphone while driving is illegal: Yukon judge

THE CANADIAN PRESS WHITEHORSE - A Yukon man who claimed he was using his cellphone hands free because he lodged it between his head and shoulder while driving has lost his case on appeal. Ian Pumphrey was pulled over and ticketed last August after a police officer saw him driving in downtown Whitehorse while talking on his cellphone. After a trial last December, Pumphrey was acquitted by Territorial Court Judge Donald Luther, who cited uncertainty in the law and said the man was literally using the phone hands free. The Yukon doesn’t have regulations that define hands-free use, as do some jurisdictions. But the government appealed Luther’s decision, arguing at a hearing last month that the literal interpretation of the law was incorrect.

Yukon Supreme Court Judge Leigh Gower agreed, saying hands free does not simply mean without hands. “Rather, I view ‘hands-free use’ as use without (the phone) being held by the operator in any fashion,” he said in a written ruling. Pumphrey, who represented himself in both courts, argued that the trial judge interpreted the law correctly and that the government should introduce regulations to add clarity.

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The Conservative caucus room was described as a morgue Wednesday as federal MPs grappled with political mortality after the New Democrats effectively killed the conservative movement’s four-decade grip on Alberta politics. While they sought to downplay the notion that the NDP’s upset in Alberta is an omen for this fall’s federal election, many also acknowledged the playing field for that campaign has changed. So-called safe seats just can’t be considered safe anymore, said Deepak Obhrai, who has sat in the House of Commons as a Calgary Conservative since 1997 and was re-elected in 2011 with 67 per cent of the vote. In the last six elections, he didn’t face a serious challenge from the NDP, but with all four provincial seats within his riding now held by that party, he expects the federal

campaign will be different. “More, stronger candidates will look at the results, so we expect stronger (NDP) candidates with stronger credentials coming after us,” he said. “The NDP have become a player, indeed.” The Tories hold 26 of the 28 federal seats in Alberta, though redistribution means there will be 34 up for grabs this fall. The Conservative Party says it has candidates nominated in all but one riding. Polling has suggested the New Democrats and Liberals are nearly tied for second place in the province, with support for the federal Conservatives at 41 per cent. Many MPs pointed out that the provincial election results indicate the conservative base is secure taken together, the Progressive Conservatives and Wild Rose Alliance secured 52 per cent of the popular vote.

In the closing days of the campaign, Prentice tried to sow fear amongst voters over what he termed a job-killing, anti-business NDP platform. Notley has promised to hike income taxes for the wealthy and increase Alberta’s corporate income tax rate to 12 per cent from 10 per cent, which is the lowest in Canada. She has also promised to review whether Albertans are getting value for money on oil royalties, and set up a panel to determine if more oil refining jobs

Notley’s leadership turned the orange tide in Alberta

K, everybody, sit down and take a few deep breaths. You’re going to be all right. The sun will rise tomorrow. If you haven’t already lost your job in the oil price crash, you’re not going to lose it now. Your taxes won’t go up tomorrow. No energy companies have imminent plans to move out of the province. A few short weeks ago, when the incumbent Alberta PCs called this election, no one could have imagined that the Tories would lose its 44-year death-grip on power. The notion that the third-place NDP would form government? Inconceivable. Hysterical about the sweeping orange wave, the PCs and Wildrose parties launched fullscale attacks on the NDP in the past week. They reminded voters of what happened in Ontario when the (then) NDP’s Bob Rae surprised everyone with an upset majority government more than two decades ago. They didn’t, of course, draw comparisons to the practical prairie NDP governments that ran large-

ly sensible governments in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. They don’t talk about years of balanced budgets, and fiscal policies that in some cases were more conservative than the sometimes-left, sometimes-right bipolar PCs. The unexpected triumph of Rachel Notley’s NDP has two dimensions: the first is the persuasive power of quality leadership. Notley, daughter of the former Alberta NDP leader and late Grant Notley, has had politics in her blood all her life. Like Justin Trudeau – but arguably with more substance – she is a secondgeneration leader whose poise and professional demeanour sent a nonverbal message that she is fit to be premier of this province. Compare that to the uncomfortable Jim Prentice, who started out so strong as premier, but over time allowed cracks to form in his once-pristine image. The second dimension is the PCs’ catastrophic fumbling of a seemingly can’t-lose scenario. When the obituaries are writ-

ten on the once-invincible juggernaut known as the Alberta PCs, one moment will stand out as the fatal turning point. The decision to call an unnecessary, costly and unwanted election. Prentice – just eight months into his leadership – had started so strongly with a series of sensible populist decisions that did seem to affirm his claim of being “new management”: selling off the province’s unpopular airline fleet and reversing a decision to close the Michener Centre for the disabled. But then, just as his popularity soared, a series of ill-conceived – maybe cocky? – decisions quickly eroded his hold on the

hearts of Albertans. The first moment was his decision to accept Danielle Smith, then-Wildrose leader, and her co-conspirators into the PC fold. It smelled of oldstyle backroom politics and Albertans didn’t like it. Then, Prentice’s seemingly off-handed comment that Albertans should “look in the mirror” to see who was to blame for the province’s fiscal blues offended many working Albertans who didn’t share his view. The fatal decision, though, was to ignore what his intuition surely must have been telling him and go ahead and call a provincial election. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but Prentice couldn’t fool them on this. It was painfully obvious that the PCs were trying to cash in on the disarray in opposition parties and polling that, at the time, seemed to assure yet another Tory majority. Another factor that many have predicting would take hold soon may have finally manifested itself. That was the demographic shift and great-

er diversity in political views triggered by the inmigration of people from other parts of Canada and around the world. Perhaps the election of Calgary’s progressive mayor, Naheed Nenshi, should have been a clear bellwether. There are a lot of people excited about this historical political sea change. Others are pretty upset at the election of an NDP government in what has been long known as the most conservative province in Canada. This shocking outcome has shown that there is a limit to Albertans’ tolerance for cynical political manipulation. A lot of people were ready to give Prentice one chance, but when he betrayed them with an indefensible election call, that patience ran out. Now Notley faces the challenge of showing a small-c conservative province that a left-leaning party will do a better job as stewards of the public trust than the tired old crew it is replacing.

be known as Islamic State. The point of not naming it after a specific territory is that it can be expanded indefinitely with no further name changes. Soon afterwards Baghdadi declared himself caliph, and therefore commander of all the world’s Muslims. This was an extremely bold step, since those Muslims who hear the call of “Caliph Ibrahim” and do not submit to his authority – even fighters in other jihadi organizations like the Nusra Front and Al Qaeda – are technically “apostates” and liable to death in the eyes of those who do accept his claim. In other words, IS’s fighters now have the legal right, at least in their own eyes, to kill most Sunni Muslims in addition to the Shias, Christians, Jews, and assorted other unbelievers they already had the right to kill. There is a potential genocide in the making if Islamic State expands further in Syria, where easily 75 percent of the population fits into one or another of those categories. Some jihadis in other countries, most notably Boko Haram in Nigeria, declared their allegiance to “Caliph Ibrahim” and Islamic State at once. Other stayed loyal to Al Qaeda – the Nusra Front, Al Shabaab in Somalia, and the al Qaeda branches in Yemen, Egypt, and the Maghreb – and rejected his claim. But Al Qaeda may declare a rival caliphate once Nusra has finished conquering Idlib province and established a firmer territorial base in Syria. So there you have it: two rival franchises competing for the loyalty of all the other jihadi organizations. There’s not really much difference between them ideologically or practically, but the franchise wars will continue. I hope that helps.

Canadian military must fix ‘hostile’ workplace An editorial from the Hamilton Spectator For Canadians who have been paying attention, it should come as no surprise to learn our military is a poisonous workplace for women, where “zero tolerance” for sexual harassment and sexual assault exists merely as a slogan. A report prepared by former Supreme Court justice

Marie Deschamps is a damning indictment of military leaders who have not, despite pressure, taken seriously the hostile Armed Forces environment faced by women, as well as lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual military personnel. The situation is unconscionable. It is not enough for our military to pay only lip service to a respectful workplace culture, particularly when ser-

ious issues have been raised repeatedly in recent years. It is irresponsible for commanders to blow off discrimination and abuse toward women as part of life in the military. It is unacceptable to stifle complaints, intimidate complainants and avoid responsibility. Deschamps is correct in her assessment — deep and sweeping changes are needed and must start at the top.

Steelworkers petition for public inquiry into sawmill explosions By Arne Petryshen Cranbrook Townsman

Members of the United Steelworkers Union are petitioning the B.C. government to hold a public inquiry into the explosions at Babine and Lakeland sawmills. Adam Connell is hoping to raise at least 10,000 signatures. At the time of writing the petition has just over 2,200 signatures. The explosions happened back in 2012.

Four people were killed and 44 injured in the two explosions. “At that time, the families of the people that passed away were promised this to be resolved by the government — to find out the answers of what happened and what can be done to prevent this from happening again.” Connell said that none of those questions have been answered.

“We’re pushing for a public inquiry because WorkSafe BC failed us, as well as the Coroner’s inquest,” he said. “It was a disaster to say the least. So without a public inquiry there will never be an answer and there will never be any changes to be made to the sawmills to prevent this from happening in this region.” Connell is joined by Steven Hunt in the

Lower Mainland who is also petitioning for the inquiry. Hunt is the organizer of the petition. Connell works at Teck Coal in the Elk Valley under United Steelworkers Local 7884. He is currently on a leave of absence to pursue the petition. Connell said part of his motivation is that something like the sawmill explosions could happen again. “It could happen today,” he said. “What happened was the accumulation of dust, which is highly flammable in these mills. The workers were

complaining about it for months beforehand before anything was done about it.” The Babine sawmill explosion happened, and then three months later the Lakeland sawmill explosion occurred. The two sawmill safe also close geographically. “They had that explosion and nothing is done in those three months, they are in the same region, then you have another explosion,” he said. “And still to this day nothing has been done about that.” Connell said it is

about protecting all workers in B.C. and not just union workers. “There are a lot of these sawmills that we’re going to that are not union, but they’re all welcoming with open arms because they know there’s a problem.” He said the public support has also been great so far. He plans to tour all over B.C. and try to visit every sawmill and union hall, as well as small businesses, Canadian Tires and Walmarts. “They’re all taking me on, taking these pamphlets and getting the signatures,” he said. The letter portion of the petition reads: “Dear Premier Clark; When the Babine and Lakeland

sawmills exploded, killing four workers, injuring 44 and leaving lasting scars on family and community members, you promised answers to ensure such a tragedy never happened again. It is now clear that only a public inquiry into both sawmill explosions will provide the answers that everyone affected by this horrific event deserves. I ask that you honour your commitment to family members of those who were killed or injured, and all British Columbians, by calling a public inquiry into the Babine and Lakeland sawmill explosions, and the botched investigations by WorksafeBC.” It can be found at inquiry-usw.nationbuilder.com.

Fruitvale native and former Trail AM Ford Oriole infielder Joey Underwood signed with the Okotoks Dawgs of the Western Major Baseball League (WMBL). Underwood is in his senior year at Bryan College in Tennessee, and was a standout shortstop for the AM Ford Orioles that won the 2011 Western Baseball Championships. “I watched the Dawgs when I was younger and always wanted to play for the team,” Underwood says. “I am excited to be a part of such a great organization, and compete alongside a talented group of players.” Underwood, a six foot, 195 pound infielder, began his collegiate career playing at the Prairie Baseball Academy in Lethbridge as a freshman in 2012, and played 16 games in the WMBL for the Lethbridge Bulls in the summer of 2012, before transferring to NAIA powerhouse Bryan College for his sophomore season.

Anglers vital in pike program

FROM PAGE 9 For each head returned, anglers will receive one entry in the draw. There will be four separate $500 prizes awarded, in the form of credit at participating sporting goods stores. The draw will be conducted on March 25, 2016. A similar program concluded in March 2014. That program required fishermen to have a pike

head with a special chip inset into its head in order to win. The new program automatically qualifies any angler who brings a pike head in for a chance at a reward. Future programs to reduce pike numbers will be planned based on the information gained through angler returns. With files from Greig Bethel Media Relations MFLNRO.

Accept playing second fiddle to kids or move on Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

began dating, Ted asked me to wait until the kids were out of high school and said then we’d get married. Then he asked me to wait until they were finished with college. Now it’s when both are married and on their own. I don’t see them ever letting that happen. Ted bought me a ring, which I am not allowed to wear around the girls because it upsets them. He can’t have pictures of us in his house because they wouldn’t like it. I once posted pictures of us on my Facebook page, and Ted totally lost it because he was afraid his daughters would see. I suggested we attend counseling, but he refused. He is stressed and unhappy, and being around him is

shop. I don’t do it to get paid back with sex. I love my wife so much, I consider it a privilege to do things for her, even after 25 years together. She gave birth to our two wonderful children. That is all I could ask for. Appreciate her now because tomorrow is promised to no one. -- Love Her

difficult because he takes it out on me. I know this relationship is toxic and I should move on, but it is hard to do when you love someone. We get along great when they leave us alone, but that rarely happens, and I am constantly depressed about it. What should I do? -- Lost and Alone in Kentucky Dear Lost: Please understand that Ted is never going to put you first. He is not going to marry you unless his daughters give their permission, and they aren’t going to do it. So what are you willing to put up with in order to remain with him? If you are OK playing third fiddle to those girls and will take marriage off the table permanently, you could have a nice, limited, semi-frustrating relationship with Ted. But if that’s not good enough, leave before you waste any more time. Dear Annie: I laughed when I read the letter from “Confused Husband,” who expects more sex for doing chores around the house.

2015 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Dear Annie: I have been in a relationship with “Ted” for the past eight years. We each have adult children from previous marriages. Ted has always put his daughters ahead of me and our relationship. When they were younger, I completely understood, but they are adults now, and he still does it. Ted has to get their permission to spend any time with me. Vacations are completely out of the question. I see him, at best, four times a month, and the girls call and text constantly the entire time we’re together, always about nothing. He has broken our dates and left in the middle of dinner to help them find an earring or a pair of shoes. The oldest recently married, and she and her husband are living in Ted’s basement. Annie, he put these girls through college. They have degrees and good jobs, and yet they refuse to leave the nest. Ted says he doesn’t know how to fix it. We fight about this often, and he always takes their side. I am frustrated. When we first

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Friday, May 8, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Personal details about your private life might be made public today. In fact, this could trigger an emotional reaction on your part that is seen by others. Be careful not to do something you could later regret. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Controversial subjects will create intense discussions today. If you talk about religion, politics or racial issues, be prepared to get a strong comeback from someone. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Disputes about shared property or shared responsibilities might arise today because people are opinionated about their boundaries and what they are willing to do. Tread carefully. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Expect strong responses from partners and close friends today in discussions

with them. It might be an outburst that catches you offguard. Now you hear it, now you don’t. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You have definite ideas about how to make improvements in your job, or even how to improve your health, today. Be reasonable, and let others have their opinions as well. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) It might be challenging to deal with children today, because they are full of adventure and energy. Just expect this, and be prepared to be tolerant. It is what it is. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Family discussions will be intense today, especially with authority figures. Be tactful, and do not cross someone who is strongly opinionated. Like, duh? SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You will be persuasive today simply because you can’t help

it. You have strong opinions, and you intend to share them with everyone, whether they like it or not. (Yikes!) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) If shopping today, you might feel obsessed with wanting to buy something. This is because you have intense feelings about your possessions and your money today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Emotional outbursts when

talking to others are likely today. Don’t worry about it; it’s because the Moon is in your sign, lined up with Pluto. And that’s that. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Research will go well today, which is why you have the ability to discover secrets and learn private information. Be sensible and discreet about whatever you discover. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

You will attract someone powerful to you today; just be aware of this. You don’t have to agree with this person, but don’t try to change his or her view. Just step aside. YOU BORN TODAY You don’t hesitate to express your views. You value tradition and the way things are done. Many of you have a strong connection to your surroundings. This year you will face a major decision. Save your money in the first half of the year, and
