SOWK Youth, local organization team up candidates for monthly open mike night talk Bill C-51

BY SHERI REGNIER

Young people from Trail and beyond will take their creative energy from home to centre stage this weekend in the city's first Kootenay Cypher.

A cypher refers to a casual gathering where rappers and the music minded share rhythm, rhyme and flow.

“It's pretty much hanging out and rapping on a beat,” says Matt Sherbinin, a local youth spearheading the event in partnership with the Youth Community Development Centre (YCDC). “There is no judgment and it is open to anyone who wants to come.

It's an open mike kind of a thing.”

Sherbinin,19, is a Trail musician who first began his musical foray as a young boy with a set of drums. Since then, he's moved away from tapping the skins to using his voice as an instrument.

“Around the age of 13 I started getting into hip hop and my cousin started to rap,” he said. “I thought it was really cool and started free styling with my friends and listening to beats.”

He soon became obsessed with rapping, which is a creative expression of spoken or chanted rhyming lyrics, delivered over a beat or without accompaniment.

A first time stage performance in Nelson four years ago, led Sherbinin to further opportunities in the spotlight with rappers like Snak the Ripper, a well known Vancouver-based artist.

“That ended up really cool because he became a friend and I went to another concert, and was invited to go and do a show in Nanaimo with a couple of rappers named Natty Snaps and MC Bodhi.”

Sherbinin was part of the opening act for Sirreal, a Comox musician that he describes as rap's “king of the island.”

“That was my very first time doing something like that and getting paid,” said Sherbinin. “It was random but they felt I was good enough.”

Now the Trail rapper is taking his talent one step further by bringing local youth together in the open mike night Saturday at 6:30 p.m. in downtown Trail's KP Hall.

“I want to get all the youth in the community involved because I know

Matt Sherbinin has teamed up with the Youth Community Development Centre to host a monthly open mike night called Kootenay Cypher. The first event kicks off Saturday 6:30 p.m. in the KP Hall on Eldorado Street in downtown Trail. there are a lot of young people who love rap just as much as I do,” said Sherbinin. “And they want to show their talent but never really find time to get together.

“So I've collaborated with Meagan (Meagan Zunti) from the youth centre and we are going to try to make this a monthly thing.”

The event is open to anyone, however Sherbinin said it may not be suitable for pre-teens.

“It's probably not the best for young kids but it is friendly to everybody who wants to come. If they feel comfortable and they can rap and maybe take on some free style if they want.

Bill C-51 was passed by the Senate on June 9 despite very vocal protests from across the country, including a rally in Castlegar in May. With the federal election coming up in October, South Okanagan-West Kootenay (SOWK) candidates weighed in on the controversial piece of legislation.

The bill, named the Anti-Terrorism Act, 2105, changes pieces of the federal criminal code and expands the reach of Canada's spy agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).

The bill gives CSIS authorization to actively pursue terrorist threats outside of Canada's borders, while also allowing the federal government to collect and share citizens' personal information, widens the definition of terrorism to include acts or opinions in opposition to Canada's resource economy and much more.

The federal Liberal Party, headed by Justin Trudeau, has been in support of the bill over the last few months, but the SOWK liberal candidate, Connie Denesiuk, believes C-51 was passed unfinished.

“I think that there are a couple of practical things in the bill, and don't get me wrong, I don't like the bill, but I do recognize the other side,” she said, adding that it needed amendments which were shot down by the Conservative majority in Ottawa ahead of the Senate vote that passed the bill. “It was going to go through anyways, but our revisions and recommendations were rejected. Who is going to police the police?”

Liberal representatives proposed additions, or amendments, to the bill, implementing a system for oversight and regulation, and a sunset clause, which would stop the bill from having any effect after three years unless any active legislation was made to keep it law.

The New Democrats have been publicly against the bill since it was first proposed, and the SOWK NDP candidate, Richard Cannings, says even with the Liberals’ proposed amendments, the bill still isn't right for Canadians.

“Frankly, oversight and a sunset clause wouldn't be nearly enough to mitigate the dangers of this bill,” he said. “For New Democrats, voting to send C-51 to the Senate simply was not an option. The NDP proposed a series of amendments to C-51 to scrap the offending provisions, none of which were adopted.”

Kootenay Cypher admission is by donation of choice, which can be a non perishable food item for the local food bank.

YCDC has teamed up with local youth the create a monthly cypher event, says Meagan Zunti, the group’s coordinator. “Our undertaking is to create a venue where young people can move their creative talents from their bedrooms or the You Tube world, out into the community.”

She said the collaboration creates a space for young hip hop artists, spoken word and slam poets, to perform, flow, battle and connect.

“We wouldn’t be able to do this event without the energy of the youth artists creating it,” said Zunti. “And those who provide our space, sound equipment and audience.”

Misinformation surrounds bill, says Conservative candidate FROM PAGE 1 Conservative candidate for the SOWK riding, Marshall Neufeld, disagrees with his opponents, and says the bill will help keep Canadians safe against an international terrorist threat.

“The international jihadist movement has declared war on Canada. I believe it is the first duty of any government to keep its citizens safe and it is for that reason the government introduced the Anti-Terrorism Act,” he said.

“Canadians are being targeted by jihadi terrorists simply because these terrorists hate our society and the values it represents. This is why the Conservative government put forward measures that protect Canadians against jihadi terrorists who seek to destroy the very principles that make Canada the best country in the world to live.”

Neufeld referenced the killing of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent in Quebec last year to highlight his support for the bill, specifically the changes made to police agency’s ability to detain suspects without formal charges.

“Short term preventative arrests have existed in Canada without abuse by law enforcement prior to the Anti-terrorism Act,” he said.

“Previously a judge had to be convinced that a suspect was, with certainty, about to commit a terrorist act. This was a very high legal bar.

Now, a judge must be convinced that a terrorist act may be carried out and that the arrest, ‘is likely to prevent the carrying out of the terrorist activity.’

“If this legislation had been in place last year, then the perpetrator who killed Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent on October 20th would almost certainly have been in jail as the police continued their investigation of his activities.”

Regardless of what the Conservatives hope to accomplish with the bill, Denesiuk says it was put forward to bury some bigger issues than domestic and foreign terrorism and Cannings agrees.

“I think C-51 is an effectively played distraction mechanism,” she said. “It was a very well delivered plan to distract people away from the dismal state of the economy and the lack of job creation. The bill has gotten people riled up, but that was exactly the Conservative plan – to get people upset so they wouldn’t be paying attention to what they ought to be paying attention to.”

Cannings echoed her statements.

“If I were a Conservative strate-

gist, I’d certainly be hoping to distract voters from the current state f the economy,” he said. “Canada has lost 200,000 jobs since the recession and Stephen Harper’s plan just isn’t working. Harper...is using the politics of fear to get ahead. We feel strongly that Canadians don’t have to choose between security and their rights – even in an election year. Unfortunately, Bill C-51 is more of a reflection of the politics of fear than a response to a threat.”

Denesiuk says that under the current government, the annual budget has been an economical mess, and they are running out of ideas for how to fix it.

“The Conservatives have had seven consecutive deficit budgets and the only way they are balancing the budget this time around is by scraping together clawed back money from veterans, employment insurance, the military and selling off General Motors stock,” she said. “They are cobbling all of these things together to get enough money to balance the budget, but you can’t do that a second year. All those pots were scraped dry and they don’t automatically replenish.”

With protests in Castlegar and other municipalities across Canada, Denesiuk is pleased that voters are sharing their displeasure with the legislation, but wants to make sure everyone is fully informed about what it entails before forming an opinion.

“I agree with many of the concerns that I have heard, loud and clear. But, the opinions aren’t always as well informed as they should be about different components of the bill,” she said, “One person came to me and shared her concern about how Bill C-51 was going to be hard on climate change.

She said it to me, and she said it to others. That is a pretty big misconception. It just demonstrates some of the misinformation that accompanies the bill.”

Neufeld also sees plenty of misinformation being spread about Bill C-51, even while knocking on doors in Trail.

“As I have been going door-todoor in the riding, I have found that people have a general misunderstanding about the legislation,” he said, adding there are some politicians who aren’t truly representing what is in the legislation. “I have found that most people are much more supportive of the legislation once they find out what is actually contained in it.”

PEOPLE Penticton woman hits lotto jackpot

Spokane Italian club welcomed in Trail

The Penticton Western News Penticton resident Irene Vestner is $1 million dollars richer after winning the Guaranteed Prize Draw on the May 30, 2015 Lotto 6/49 draw.

Vestner was running errands when she decided to self-check her ticket — that’s the moment when her life changed.

“I didn’t believe it at first, when I checked my ticket,” recalled Vestner. “I had to call the store manager over to double check it and all I could do was stare at the machine in disbelief – I was stunned by the amount.”

The first person Vestner told about winning $1 million was her closest friend, who shared Vestner’s shock and excitement.

“At first, my friend thought I won $1,000 and I told her to check the zeros and she couldn’t believe there were six of them,” exclaimed Vestner.

As for plans on how to spend the winnings, Vestner says her first purchase will likely be a new condo but first, she needs time to allow the win to sink in.

Vestner says she will continue to play Lotto 6/49 because it’s her favourite form of entertainment. The winning ticket was purchased Submitted photo at Smartshopper in Penticton. Owner Leigh Follestad said the biggest winning ticket they had Members of Spokane’s American Italian Club were welcomed in Trail at the end of May by the San Martino Club, Italo Canadese, Colombo Lodge, Club Italico and Festa Italiana for a tour of Trail, which included visits to sites and some shopping for authentic sold prior to this was for $100,000 last year.

“I have been in retail for almost 30 years and Italian products. The group gathered at the Colombo Lodge to share stories and some fine cuisine. $100,000 was the biggest I ever sold, now this. It is just really unbelievable to have sold it because the odds the numbers came out of my store are astronomical.”

Donald Trump for president: a ‘gift from the comedy gods’ for late-night hosts

Joe was proud to have served our country for five long years during the Second World War. He was one of four survivors from The British Columbia Regiment, Duke of Connaughts Own (Up the Dukes!).

He also loved to garden, and his neighbours looked forward to his weekly visits when he would share the fruits of his labour.

At Joe’s request, there will not be a formal service.

Cremation has taken place, with Gwen Ziprick of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services looking after the arrangements.

“Lest we forget, Lest we forget”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - He doesn’t need the money, but if Donald Trump’s presidential campaign falters, latenight comics would surely pass the hat to keep it going.

An animated Jon Stewart looked like he was second-guessing his decision to step away from “The Daily Show” in the wake of Trump’s declaration Tuesday. Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” hasn’t started yet, but he couldn’t resist releasing a video. Seth Meyers pumped his fist in glee. And Larry Wilmore regarded

Trump’s announcement as a literal gift from the comedy gods.

“I’ve got a show and Trump’s running for president,” said Wilmore, of Comedy Central’s “Nightly Show.” ”Good news for me, horrible news for our writers. Because all of the jokes are officially writing themselves.“ He ran a clip reel of highlights from Trump’s speech, while contentedly munching on a steak dinner.

Stewart acted like a child waiting for dessert as he ran through video of campaign announcements by

Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush. Finally, he showed a clip of Trump riding an escalator down to where he made his presidential announcement.

“Hey, only losers walk,” Stewart said in a mocking New Yawk accent. What followed, he said, “was over a half-hour of the most beautifully ridiculous jibber-jabber ever to pour forth from the mouth” of a billionaire.

“It’s amazing!” he said. “America’s id is running for president.”

Stewart said following Trump promises to make his last six weeks on “The Daily Show” terrific.

“He is putting me in some kind of comedy hospice, where all you’re getting is straight morphine,” he said.

Jimmy Fallon had Jeb Bush as a “Tonight Show” guest a day after the former Florida governor announced his presidential candidacy, but it was Trump

who dominated the comic’s monologue.

Fallon joked that he was going to have Trump on, “but the last time we checked he was still giving his speech.”

He said Trump would be the country’s first “Mad Libs” president. “I think Gary Busey wrote that speech,” Fallon said.

The other Jimmy, ABC’s Kimmel, said Trump would be like a “president and an amusement park all rolled up into one.”

NBC’s Meyers said that “in a speech cobbled together from forwarded emails from your uncle, he let us know what he thought that America needed.”

Colbert doesn’t begin on CBS until September, but he’s been posting occasional comic videos online.

His latest video showed him at a podium making an announcement of his own, his hair teased into a bad combover to echo Trump’s and speaking the same

Inglehart

outer-borough accent.

In his announcement - that he’s still coming to CBS Colbert nailed the rambling, surrealistic quality of Trump’s talk, including the unexpected, and seemingly annoying to the candidate, musical interludes. He touched on Trump’s emphasis on the Chinese “eating our lunch” in global competition.

“I don’t want to eat their lunch,” he said.

“I’ve seen their lunch.

Does it come with egg rolls? This administration is doing nothing to find out.”

Conan O’Brien on TBS joked that Trump’s announcement “traditionally means six more weeks of comedy.”

“Here’s the sad news,” O’Brien said. “Season 15 of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ will not air. But not to worry. With Trump running for president, you’ll still get to see an irrelevant B-list celebrity not get a job.”

Provincial

New cleanup New B.C. school curriculum will have aboriginal focus agency for spills on land

By Jeff Nagel Black Press

The province will require industry to pay for a new organization to quickly deploy trained and equipped responders to deal with a spill of oil or any other hazardous substance on land.

New legislation will come next spring and the new Preparedness and Response Organization (PRO) is to be in place by 2017 to counter a variety of land-based spills, including train derailments, tanker truck crashes and pipeline failures that release petroleum or other chemicals.

Environment Minister Mary Polak predicted it will significantly improve B.C.’s readiness to coordinate and, if necessary, lead the response to a spill on land without delays to determine who is responsible.

Companies will have to join the new response organization if the risk they pose – based on the volume and toxicity of the cargo they ship – exceeds a certain risk threshold that is yet to be determined.

The spiller will remain responsible for response and cleanup costs, but if its efforts are failing the province would be able to call the PRO in to take over.

Polak said the aim is to fill gaps in readiness, not to duplicate existing industry efforts.

THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA Students in British Columbia will learn about the ongoing legacy of Canada’s residential schools when new curriculum is implemented.

The kindergartento-Grade-12 curriculum that addresses aboriginal history, culture and perspectives is about to be released to B.C. teachers and schools in preparation for the new academic year.

B.C.’s Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister John Rustad says in a statement that students will study topics such as discrimination, inequality, oppression and the impacts of colonialism.

He says kindergarten students will also be expected to learn about aboriginals’ use of indigenous plants

Motorcycle involved in police chase in mall seized, owner fined for 58 offences

THE CANADIAN PRESS SURREY, B.C. - A motorcycle used to evade police in a movie-like stunt through a suburban Vancouver mall - even hurtling down an escalator - has been seized by RCMP and its owner fined about $13,000.

Mounties in Surrey, B.C., announced Tuesday that even though officers can’t identify the driver in the Feb. 20 video of the escapade, they are holding onto the bike pending outcome of a civil forfeiture hearing.

RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann said the 58 traffic violations that led to the fine included speeding, disobeying a red light and driving without insurance.

“I’ve seen some crazy driving in my time but I’ve never seen anything where a vehicle tries to elude police by driving into a building,” he said.

“It’s absolutely amazing that this motorcyclist was able first to stay on the machine while riding down an escalator but also amazing that he

didn’t strike shoppers.”

Schumann said registered owners are responsible for their vehicles at all times and can choose to provide officers with information about who was driving during an offence. Owners who don’t co-operate can be charged with the offence under the Motor Vehicles Act, he said.

“We have advised the civil forfeiture office that all the offences are from the provincial statute, the Motor Vehicle Act,” said Schumann.

The B.C. Ministry of Justice, which is responsible for the office, said in an emailed statement that it received the file

recently and has initiated proceedings.

“Under the authority of the Civil Forfeiture Act, the police have the right to maintain possession of the motorcycle while the process continues,” the statement said.

The video cuts between police footage taken by a helicopter and a cruiser, as well as surveillance video from inside Guildford Town Centre.

The motorcyclist can be seen speeding through the streets of Surrey before entering the mall, driving down an escalator and through a set of sliding doors, forcing people to dodge out of the way.

and animals, while Grade 5 students will learn about aboriginal environmental stewardship.

Rustad’s comments are part of the B.C. government’s response to the 94 recommendations contained in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s report on the residentialschool system.

After six years of hearings, the report concluded Canada’s residential-school system was a form of cultural genocide.

“In education, B.C. is about to take a major step forward that will respond to one of the primary calls to action,” says Rustad.

“The integration of the history and ongoing legacy of the residential-school system will be further enhanced in the new curriculum, particularly when students’ study topics such as discrimination, inequality, oppression and the impacts of colonialism.”

Education Minister Peter Fassbender says in a statement that education brings positive change.

“Through the revised curriculum, we will be promoting

greater understanding, empathy and respect for aboriginal history and culture among students and their families,” he says.

The ministry says Grade 5 students will also be expected to learn about past discriminatory government policies, including the Chinese Head Tax. It says secondary students will learn about the imposition of government structures on aboriginal communities when discussing topics such as injustice and social change in the development of human rights.

First Nations Summit Grand Chief Ed John said following the release of the commission’s report that too few Canadians, especially children, are aware of the residential-school experience.

“You might want to learn about Prince Charles and the Queen, that’s good, but you should also want to know about your own history in this province, and we don’t see enough of that in terms of the relationships between First Nations and the public,” he said.

The pros and cons of an expanded CPP

A

new report came out recently that reiterates what we’ve heard from other sources: Canadians aren’t saving nearly enough for retirement. The Deputy Chief Economist of the CIBC warns that, without pension reform now, younger workers today will see a steep decline in living standards as they retire.

The Conservative government has recently announced it would like to have a dialogue with Canadians about a potential expansion of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). Let’s look at what the possible outcomes of such a dialogue might be.

We know that 76 per cent of workers in the private sector have no pension plan at all. They can get retirement savings products but have to pay extremely high fees (e.g., 250 to 300 basis points or a full 2.5 to 3 per cent of their cash flow) for this expert management. And sometimes, their agent does not even work on their behalf, but rather acts to maximize the income of the agent.

Might it thus be wise to finally consider an

expansion of the CPP at a time when both the CPP and its investment arm (the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB)) are riding high in the polls?

The answer is far from obvious.

Amendments made to the CPP in 1996 state that any new benefits must be fully-funded. That means you only get back what you have paid for in full. Under current rules, it takes 39 years at a minimum to earn a full benefit. So if you make a contribution today (2015) you would only have earned 1/39th of a full benefit. Full benefits would not be available until 2054.

So if we think we have a problem in terms of people who plan to retire in 2054 not saving enough today, then we must amend the CPP now.

The CPP is currently organized and administered like a Defined Benefit plan. Moving to Voluntary Contributions, as the Conservatives wish, would force it to be administered much more like a Defined Contribution plan.

Why does this matter?

Allowing workers to

move their money in and out of the CPP fund freely will create the potential for participants to move in when the times are good and out when bad, resulting in the need for the CPPIB to move toward much more liquid shorter-term assets with lower rates of return. It would also mean much higher administrative costs for the CPP (especially the investment arm, the CPPIB, as they would have to track the cash flows of individual accounts).

This would be on top of the high expense ratio for the CPPIB – estimated in the range of 90 to 100 basis points (i.e., 0.90 to 1.00 per cent) which is multiples of what other very large plans cost (e.g., HOOPPs,

BC Public Service and even some private sector plans like Bombardier) which run with expense ratios closer to 25 basis points.

It would also make all Canadian workers much more dependent on the investment capabilities of the CPPIB and the decisions they make versus the myriad of private managers now being used. So, the word “voluntary” cannot be taken lightly.

Further, the CPPIB is having problems keeping all of its $265 billion invested in safe but high yield investments today. What will it do with another tier of contributions?

Finally, one can certainly expect a vehement push-back from the private sector that caters to retirement savings today at a nice profit margin.

So what if the contributions are mandatory? That will result in serious problems for very poor workers (and their employers).

Consider forcing lowincome workers (and their employers) to contribute to a new tier of the CPP. Not only do they not receive full benefits for another 39 years, but when

they do get their extra CPP benefits, they will lose the impact of these extra payments as they see their Old Age Security (OAS) and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) benefits clawed back.

Since GIS payments are often matched by provincial schemes (e.g., GAINS in Ontario), many poor workers will lose $1 of OAS/GIS and provincial supplements for every new dollar of CPP benefits. So they, and their employers, contribute out of money they need for higher order needs now (like food and rent) and they get no new net benefits at all. That is regressive.

In summary, we are faced with a myriad of questions and not only do we not have any good answers, we have no answers at all.

It’s time our governments started looking at the complexity of the issue with some serious attention.

paying down household debt?

With 43.7 per cent of our income going to taxes, it still isn’t enough to pay for what our governments do.

This year, the federal government and seven provincial governments (including Ontario) are planning deficits totalling $18.2 billion. When governments spend beyond their means, they borrow, incurring deficits, which are essentially deferred taxes.

According to our calculations, Tax Freedom Day would come four days later this year, on June 14, if Canadian governments covered their current spending with even greater tax increases instead of borrowing to cover the shortfall. If that happened, the percentage of income going to taxes would jump to 44.9 per cent.

In the end, it’s up to you and your family to decide whether you’re getting good bang for your tax buck. But we all need a complete understanding of the total tax bill to make an informed assessment. And therein lies the value of our Tax Freedom Day calculation.

So, are you happy with working until June 10 to pay for government?

Parents need to let kids play outside An editorial from the Toronto Star It’s called the “protection paradox” and there’s worrisome evidence that it’s causing longterm harm to Canadian kids.

Overly cautious parents are so intent on sheltering their offspring that they’re keeping children indoors and inactive when kids would be far better off outside, on their own, exploring and taking risks.

“We may be so focused on trying to intervene in our children’s lifestyles to make sure they’re healthy, safe and happy, that we are having the opposite effect,” warn authors of a nationwide report released this past week.

The solution is obvious, although undeniably hard for today’s over-protective parents to deliver. It consists of simply standing back, exposing children to more outdoor play, and letting kids be kids.

“We need to give kids the freedom to occasionally scrape a knee or twist an ankle,” write the authors. “Adults need to get out of the way and let kids play.”

The 2015 Participaction Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth should be required reading for educa-

tors, politicians, public health authorities, academics and, of course, Canadian parents.

The risks of engaging in a sedentary lifestyle — especially from an early age — include elevated odds of developing heart disease, diabetes, some types of cancer, and a variety of chronic conditions. These are well-known hazards. Yet too many kids aren’t getting the daily exercise they need.

The report found that only 9 per cent of children, between the ages of 5 and 17, were doing a recommended 60 minutes of heart-pumping activity each day. Just 9 per cent!

More than 60 per cent of parents with children that age say their kids are typically driven to school. It’s no wonder authors issued a D-minus report card grade in assessing Canadian kids’ sedentary behaviors.

A series of eye-opening statistics in the report go a long way towards putting risks and activity in perspective. Outdoor play is obviously far superior to indoor fun.

“When children are outside they move more, sit less and play longer.”

Preschoolers spend twice as much time being active when

play is outdoors rather than inside. And kids 9 to 17 years of age get an extra 20 minutes of “heart-pumping activity” every day that they play outside after school. Youngsters allowed to explore unsupervised get even more benefit.

It turns out that an element of risk makes activity more fun.

Research shows that children 3 to 5 years old are less likely to be active on playgrounds designed to be “safe” because the absence of challenge fosters boredom.

Some injuries do happen in “self-directed outdoor play,” but authors of the report write that major trauma, such as a broken bone or concussion, is uncommon. “Most injuries associated with outdoor play are minor.”

Giving children more freedom to take risks isn’t the same as exposing them to danger. It means a better balance between short-term safety and longterm health.

That seems a sound prescription for Canadian society and for generations to come.

Today’s much-written-about “helicopter parents” would better serve their children by hovering over them less, and by encouraging more adventure.

Provincial

Stiffer fines, sanctions eyed for distracted drivers

By Jeff Nagel Black Press

The province is considering stiffer fines and possibly vehicle impoundments or prohibitions to get distracted drivers to put down their cellphones and devices.

Motorists caught using a hand-held

device face $167 fines and – since last fall – three driver penalty points.

“We took a first step and increased the penalties last fall and now we’re looking at possible changes to the legislation, including more severe penalties,” Justice Minister

Suzanne Anton said.

A four-week online consultation period is open until July 16 to gather public opinion on whether tougher measures are needed.

Comments are being collected at engage. gov.bc.ca/distracteddriving.

Besides potential

vehicle impoundments or driver prohibitions, the site asks if texting drivers should be punished more severely, and possibly new drivers and repeat offenders as well.

Five years after distracted driving fines were introduced in B.C., many drivers continue to ignore the law.

Police issued 55,100 tickets last year to drivers caught using an electronic device behind the wheel – an

increase from 53,000 in 2013.

ICBC estimates 9,500 drivers in B.C. are using a hand-held device at any given time and 40 per cent are texting or emailing as they drive.

The B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police supports escalating fines or sanctions, particularly for multiple repeat offenders, said Transit Police Chief Neil Dubord who chairs the chiefs’ traffic com-

mittee.

But he said the widespread disregard for the cellphone law makes it difficult to see how officers could impound vehicles – at least on a first offence – without being accused of selective, unfair enforcement.

“The impoundment of vehicles is difficult because of the large numbers,” said Dubord, who is taking over as chief of Delta Police later this month. “When people

are speeding at double the limit speed limit a threshold is broken which can then lead to the impounding of the vehicle.”

He said he believes prohibitions should be considered, but only for the worst repeat offenders.

The chiefs’ association doesn’t have a formal position on prohibitions, nor has it adopted the stance that texting is worse than hand-held phone calls.

According to research cited by the province, texting or using a smartphone while driving is more distracting than talking on one, resulting in up to 23 times higher crash risk for drivers who text.

Speed and distraction are now the top two factors contributing to crash deaths, ahead of third-ranked alcohol.

B.C.’s distracted driving fines are the second lowest in Canada. Nova Scotia has the highest, climbing from $234 to $579 on the third offence, and Ontario is about to double its maximum fine from $500 to $1,000.

Saskatchewan impounds the vehicle for seven days if the driver has had two or more distracted driving tickets within the last year.

Dubord said officers are also wary of other new and distracting technology, from Google Glass to the Apple Watch.

B.C. families celebrate fishing on Father’s Day submitted Father’s Day weekend is about spending time with Dad, and what better way to have fun in the outdoors than freshwater fishing as a family.

During the 16th Annual Family Fishing Weekend, held over Father’s Day weekend June 19-21, Canadian families throughout the province may borrow equipment, learn more about freshwater fishing, partake in a variety of activities or simply enjoy spending time together fishing B.C.’s lakes, rivers, streams, and tidal waters. And for the duration of the weekend families may fish without needing to purchase a licence.

“Whether you are learning together or spending a day enjoying a sport that you have enjoyed together for a long time Family Fishing Weekend is a great way for the whole family to spend time together with Dad,” said Michele Dusterhoft,

President, Family Fishing Society of BC. “It brings novices and experts together to enjoy what the sport has to offer in a fun environment.”

Hosted by The Family Fishing Society of BC and volunteer led community groups, over 50 Family Fishing Weekend events across the province will feature hands-on help for beginners and celebrate the tradition of recreational fishing in BC. Loaner rods, reels and tackle are provided for those who do not have their own gear. The Family Fishing Society estimates that 25,000 British Columbians participate in Family Fishing Weekend each year.

In Trail, the society will be at Champion Lakes Provincial Park on Saturday from 1-4 p.m. for anyone ready to wet a line in the well-stocked lake. In Nelson, anglers can try their luck at Cottonwood Lake on both Saturday and Sunday.

being involved with the organization and I can’t wait to get started.” Korizis said in a release.

The 19-year-old defenceman accumulated 17 goals and 38 points in 50 games in two years playing for the Hotchkiss Bearcats in the U.S. High School League, displaying offensive upside, while playing physical and responsible hockey in his own end.

“He was in the Top 20 scoring for Prep school defenceman,” said Deschenes.

“There’s about 40 or 50 teams in that circuit so that puts him into the upper echelon. He must have played about 30-35 minutes a game for them. I think he’ll adjust quickly and he brings a lot of elements to the table.”

The Smoke Eater coach wasn’t able to personally see the Montreal product in action, but through video, input from recently hired assistant coach Ryan Donald, and eastern coaches and scouts, Deschenes believes the Prep School graduate has the tools to be a valued asset on defence and perform effectively in the BCHL. Livingstone was impressive from the moment he stepped on the ice as an AP for the Smokies, and will be a valuable addition to a team that is still evolving.

“We’re getting there,” said Deschenes.

“We’re still a top forward or two away from being in the same caliber as we were last year, trying to approach it anyways. We’re still looking for a defenceman, we’ve identified some in our camps so we’re hoping they will come to main camp and show us what they have. There’s a lot of different movement, and USHL camps are finished, so between all of that, expect maybe another move or two, and we should be pretty good coming into the season.”

Great Timing

Chambers Bay a unique challenge THE ASSOCIATED PRESS UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash.

- Jordan Spieth didn’t take long when asked for one word to describe a U.S. Open course where trains rumble loudly by, holes can change from one par to another, and players sometimes search for little white markings to see if they’re actually on a green.

“Inventive,” the Masters champion said.

That may not be the word some players will be using when play gets underway Thursday on a course unlike any other in Open history. Chambers Bay isn’t for the faint of heart, or those without some imagination in their game.

But if the grumbling is to begin, the Masters champion wants no part of it.

“If you are going to talk negative about a place, you’re almost throwing yourself out to begin with because golf is a mental game,” Spieth said.

Indeed, the player with the best game doesn’t always win the Open, where par is jealously guarded by the USGA. But while Spieth and Rory McIlroy are the favourites of the oddsmakers in Las Vegas, no one is really certain about anything on a golf course that will change by the day.

Except that patience - like in any Open - figures to be a big key.

“I keep saying to people, the U.S. Open is all about controlling your attitude, controlling your emotional level and your stress levels out there because it can be a very frustrating week if you let it be,” Jason Day said.

The links-style course built on an old gravel pit may end up the star of this Open, no matter who ends up conquering it.

Chambers Bay - with its one tree and huge elevation changes on the edge of the water will look good on television, even if the players don’t.

Some won’t be able to adapt to hitting shots 20 yards away from where they want their ball to finally come to a rest. Others will have difficulty judging tee shots that will hang in the air longer than usual.

And some might have trouble just finding the greens, which are the same fescue as the fairways and seem to blend in with them on some holes. The USGA is trying to help out by painting little white dots around the greens to show where they are.

“I think it might be slower rounds of golf, given the size of the greens and the difficulty of the course,” Spieth said. “(But) at least we have some nice views.”

The views were already there when architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. went to work on building the course that opened to the public in 2007. So were the

elevation changes, and the train tracks that run between the course and the water.

What Jones did was take it a step further with fine fescue grass throughout and holes with so many tees that two holes - No. 1 and No. 18 - can be switched from par 4’s to par 5’s and back again during the week.

It’s a place unlike any some players have seen, and it will take some getting used to.

“Those who adopt it and embrace it, they like it,” Jones said. “Those who are uneasy with the newness of it, we’ll listen to them, but they probably won’t make the cut.”

USGA executive director Mike Davis said in April that players will have to study the course carefully to have a chance of winning. Just playing a few practice rounds, he said, won’t be enough to figure out its complexity.

Spieth, who shot an 83 when the U.S. Amateur was held at Chambers Bay in 2010, has done just that, including a few extra rounds over the weekend to figure out where the ball will be rolling on what will surely be a fast and tricky track.

Still, it’s the U.S. Open and it will be a grind. Spieth is only playing his fourth Open, but understands that if he is going to get halfway to a Grand Slam, he has to be as prepared mentally as he is physically.

“You have to go in positively,” he said.

“You have to go in with enough confidence to get yourself into contention.”

For some players this week, that might be the toughest thing of all.

Kootenay Savings Community Liaison, Aron Burke, presents Trail Track and Field Club President, Dan Horan, with a $2,000 grant on behalf the Kootenay Savings Community Foundation. The grant funds will be used by the Club to purchase new equipment and timing devices, which will ensure that future events hosted by the Club will meet BC Athletics requirements.

Counselling for friend’s death needn’t be costly Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

tripping and falling.

Counseling will help you come to terms with this, and it doesn’t need to be costly. Check at the hospital where your friend was treated and ask whether they offer grief counseling.

You also can discuss this with your clergyperson.

Dear Annie: It is summertime again, so I thought I would put in my two cents on what I want friends and relatives to be aware of when they come to my house to swim. Because I’m the one with the pool, I am often expected to host our family and friends, which is fine. I enjoy it. But people don’t realize how much work it takes to make it ready to use. Here are my suggestions: 1. Don’t show up early.

Have them obey my pool rules. They’re for everyone’s safety.

There are probably more things, but that’s enough to make me feel better for now. -- Swimming Along Dear Swimming: Everyone has different expectations for their pool guests, but your rules are

sensible, especially the last one. Thanks for writing.

Come at the time suggested.

2. Please bring two towels per person. You use one towel each time you get out of the pool, and when it’s wet, you borrow one of mine. Most of the time, I never see that towel again.

Bring a spare.

3. Remember to take all your stuff home with you and please label everything you bring. I don’t know which goggles, towels, shirts or sunscreen are yours when you come back a week later looking for them.

4. If you bring food to one of my pool parties, bring enough to share. And if you want to contribute to the meal I make, bring something substantial. I resent spending $75 on meat and you show up with a bag of chips. And bring drinks and ice. If there are leftovers, take them with you. I can’t store everything.

5. Watch your kids. I’m trying to cook, carry on a conversation, maybe swim a bit, and your precious child is running circles around the pool. Don’t expect me to keep an eye on the kids, too.

Dear Annie: Recently, I insisted a dear friend move into my home so I could help him after he was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

After a lengthy surgery, doctors managed to remove it. Two weeks later, I took him to a rustic cabin retreat so he could rest.

The morning we were to leave for home, I woke up and went to open the front door, but it was blocked.

Apparently, my friend had gone out earlier, tripped and hit his head, and had died in front of the door.

Since then, I haven’t been able to eat or sleep. I don’t know where to turn and am about to have a breakdown. I can’t afford therapy. Do you have any advice? -- Devastated in Ohio Dear Ohio: We are so sorry for your heartbreaking loss. You thought your friend would be OK and weren’t prepared for his sudden death. Please know that you are not at all responsible for what happened. It may even be that the treatment of his tumor affected his balance or visual focus, contributing to his

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Friday, June 19, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a playful, fun-loving day. Make plans to enjoy sports events, social diversions, the theater, musical performances or playful activities with children.

What a great date night!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Home, family and your private life comprise your primary focus today. Ideally, you will entertain at home tonight and, possibly, discuss real-estate deals or decorating ideas.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a strong day to sell, market, teach, act and write. You feel motivated and optimistic -- and that’s all you need.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Money and possessions are your primary focus today. It will please you to take care of something you already own or repair it.

Thursday, June 18, 2015 Trail Times

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The Moon is in your sign today, which brings you a little bit of extra good luck.

Milk this for all it’s worth.

Admittedly, you might be a bit more emotional than usual.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Work alone or behind the scenes today because the Moon is “hiding” in your chart. This means that you likewise want to hide from the busyness of everyone around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Enjoy schmoozing with others, because this is a social day for you. Share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone, because his or her feedback will help you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Details about your personal life are made rather public today, perhaps to your chagrin. Don’t worry,

because the divine energy of lucky Jupiter will protect you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

Because you want to expand your world today, travel if you can. At least, be a tourist in your own city and learn something new that is stimulating!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You will feel better if you can clear up loose details

about inheritances, taxes, debt and shared possessions.

You don’t like things that are important to be fuzzy or unclear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Discussions with others will fare best if you are accommodating and cooperative. Because the Moon is opposite your sign, you have to be nice to others.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Make a to-do list today so that you can run errands, as well as do something to burn off your newly pumped physical energy. You have high standards for yourself today, both personally and for world around you.

YOU BORN TODAY

You are strong and persuasive. You also know how to inspire others. Perhaps this is because you meet challenges head on with great courage yourself. So that
