Layoffs are coming for employees of Teck Trail Operations. Low commodity prices are forcing the action, but just how many will be out of work locally depends on the number of workers who leave by choice. The Vancouver-based company announced Tuesday that 1,000 positions will be eliminated across Teck’s global offices and operations, which trickles down to almost 80 jobs in the Trail plant. “There will be a five per cent reduction in Trail’s work forces between now and the end of 2016,” confirmed Catherine Adair, Teck Trail’s community relations leader. “Trail’s current workforce is just under 1,500 employees so this translates to a reduction of between 70 and 80 positions,” she added. “While every effort is being made to achieve these reductions through attrition, there will be some layoffs.” The company states layoffs and attrition includes senior management positions, and brings total labour force reductions over the past 18 months, to approximately 2,000 positions. Another significant way the company is cutting back and retaining capital next year, is by delaying projects and reducing subsequent operating costs. A total reduction of $650 million will be achieved through $350 million of project deferrals and capital spending, as well as $300 million in cost savings from the 2016 operating budget. The two large capital projects currently under construction in Trail, those being the water treatment plant and smelter recycle building, haven’t been affected at this point. “In any given year Trail has many capital projects underway,” Adair clarified. “Trail’s capital plan is being closely reviewed and some projects have been deferred to reduce 2016 capital spending,” she explained. “We are continuing with those projects that are essential to ensuring Trail operates in a safe manner and still meets our production targets and our environmental requirements,” Adair confirmed. “Projects under construction such as the CONTINUED ON PG. 3

Later graduation date aims to keep focus on studies VALERIE ROSSI Trail Times

Crowe grads will save their big celebration until after exams are handed in this year. Transitioning into post-secondary life is taken very seriously, according to J. L. Crowe Secondary School principal David DeRosa, and with much thought and input from teachers and parents the decision was made to move ceremonies to June 24.

“There are several different factors that go into the decision for the date, and definitely we include considerations for the impact that grad may have on student learning,” he said. “We also take into consideration the impact on staff and the other students in the building. It is an important transition event for our students and their families, and we try to find a balance.” The high school has al-

tain programs but for those kids that really have no idea, it gives them a bit more help in sorting through what careers are out there and what may interest them.” Students who are still finding their path can also take surveys to find out more about what kind of learning style and personality they have and how that plays into career selection. Waterstreet is hopeful that planning will broaden courses available and is already noticing a slight change. With enough students interested in subjects like law and geography, she said the high school can run these courses successfully with a full class. “I’m hoping it (the program) opens the doors for some more of these courses,” she added. “Kids are now really having a great idea of what’s out there and what the differences are and making,

I think, more educated choices about where they’re going and how they’re going to get there.” DeRosa agrees that seeing what credit requirements are needed, helps students see first hand the impact their course planning and selection can have on their future beyond the comfortable hallways of high school. It’s never too early, or late for the matter, to talk graduation. The subject is always discussed from studies right through to grad weekend. DeRosa told the Trail Times last year that graduating students tend to see grad weekend, with the ceremony, memory walk and more, as a closing to their high school careers. When in fact, there was still classroom time and exams to write. The hope is this year’s date change will allow students to re-

main focused on studies before capping off their five years of hard work with celebratory cheer. Dixon-Reusz and her fellow grad council president Michael Moon said their class is on board with the change. “The grad weekend is such a big event, and it involves a lot of energy and excitement and so it’s very easy to get caught up in the events of the weekend and you tend to fall behind,” said Dixon-Reusz. “This way students can get all of their exams done and then can have fun on the weekend with the grad ceremonies without having to worry.” Moon agrees. “Having it a week before tests isn’t really an ideal thing … whereas now they have to finish school before they graduate and they’re not focused on their studies on top of graduating,” he said.

LOCAL Mining operations in Sparwood will wrap up by 2017 CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 G r o u n d w a t e r Treatment Plant project and the Smelter Recycle Building are continuing at this time.” Commodity prices have plagued the company all year, and due to a large write down of its coal and other assets, last month Teck reported a third quarter loss of $2.1 billion. While Trail may have dodged a bullet for now, in terms of ongoing capital projects, the East Kootenay was not so lucky. Teck said it will withdraw from its Coal Mountain Phase 2 project, located near Sparwood, thereby halting the environmental assessment process and suspending further work at the site. That means mining will end at the existing Coal Mountain Operations within two years. Between now and the end of 2017, the company says it will look for options to potentially replace the 2.25 million tonnes of annual coal production that were planned from the expansion project. “We are implementing these additional measures to conserve capital, lower our operating costs and maintain financial flexibility in light of very difficult market conditions,” Don Lindsay, Teck’s president and chief executive said in the statement. “These steps build on our ongoing cost

reduction program and I want to thank all employees for their efforts to improve efficiency

and productivity, while remaining keenly focused on safety and sustainability.”

Teck Resources also announced a cut to Dec. 30 dividends to five cents per share.

That compares with an earlier semi-annual payment to shareholders of 15 cents.

Canada has no moral choice but to take refugees

f ever there was a lame excuse to turn away Syrian refugees, it is to be found in the straw man that opening our doors to desperate people will allow terrorists to sneak into our country. No question, Justin Trudeau’s pledge to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees by Jan. 1, 2016 will strain our authorities to the limit. And the Paris attacks have raised national anxiety over our security. Neither justifies backing down from our promise to extend a life-saving hand. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall has led the charge against accepting refugees, arguing the federal government should suspend the plan because the volume could “undermine the refugee screening process.” “I understand that the overwhelming majority of refugees are fleeing violence and bloodshed and pose no threat to anyone,” Wall wrote in a letter to Trudeau. “However, if even a small number of individuals who wish to do harm to our country are able to enter Canada as a result of a rushed refugee resettlement process, the results could be devastating.” There are as yet unconfirmed reports that one of the young men who attacked Paris got into that

consider delay a reasonable course of action? By slowing the process, we would also be capitulating to ISIS, argues Madeleine Albright, former U.S. secretary of state and daughter of a family that fled Czechoslovakia as refugees 67 years ago. “By making Syrian refugees the enemy, we are playing into their hands,” she argues in a Time magazine commentary this week. Bringing refugees into a country they know little about will surely come with some bumps. It will also come at a steep financial cost. The Liberals expect to spend $100 million on the rescue in this fiscal year, and $250 million overall. Let’s not kid ourselves. This is a big effort, an inconvenience and a major expense. It is also a meaningful gesture that reasserts our country as one with a conscience. The human toll of the tragedy in Syria demands action; any country that fails to act is implicit in the deaths that will certainly follow. Over the country’s history, Canada has shown time and again the spine to step forward and do the right thing. Such a moment has come once again.

DA Y IL

An editorial from the Hamilton Spectator There are worse things than a broken election promise, and we don’t say that lightly. It is understandable, even admirable, that the Trudeau government is standing by its commitment to admit 25,000 Syrian and Iraqi refugees to our country. But it is not wise to stubbornly stick with the current unrealistic timeline. The government continues to insist all this will happen by the end of the year. This is especially pressing with media reports suggesting at least one of the Paris murderers sneaked into the country hidden in the tide of refugees crossing Europe. This is a nightmare for western governments. If true, this means ISIL is using the very refugee migration it helped create to move its killers under the camouflage

of legitimate refugees. Not only is this a new and frighteningly effective tactic, it gives needed ammunition to our own extremists -- those like fringe American Republicans who insist the best answer to this threat is for the United States to seal its borders, creating a new fortress America, and at the same time make a bigger military investment in annihilating ISIL, a strategy that would certainly involve American troops on the ground in Syria and Iraq. We have no Donald Trumps, thankfully. But you don’t have to look hard to find extremists in Canada who hold similar opinions. That does not mean the government should back away from its stated commitment. That would be wrong. Nor does any of this necessarily mean Prime Minister Trudeau needs to recant on his commit-

ment to pull Canadian bombers from combat in Syria. But what the government must not do is put its election promise ahead of public safety. The yearend time frame has always been questionable, with many experts saying it’s simply not feasible, or wise, to try to process, move and settle that many refugees in such a short time. We can’t risk a fast-tracked process that might sacrifice thoroughness for speed. This has to be done right, not necessarily done fast. Considering ISIL’s new terror tactic, this is no longer a matter of smart or realistic policy. It could be a matter of life and death. The government must ensure the refugee commitment is kept, but in an intelligent way that balances humanitarian interests with national security. That means the year-end target must be set aside.

try with $34 billion per year in “direct subsidies and internalized costs.” Who knew? Certainly not the energy industry. A look beyond the headline reveals a bizarre and misleading calculation. It turns out that the $34 billon includes government failure to collect “externalized costs” of $19.4 billion on oilbased fuels due to such impacts as traffic accidents and carbon emissions. The IMF adds another $7.3 billion per year of “unpriced carbon emissions” from burning natural gas and $4.5 billion for coal. How they arrive at these “unpriced” cost estimates isn’t revealed. And even if such leaps of logic had any validity, it’s not energy producers who burn the stuff, so it’s consumers who get these “subsidies.” The IMF report added another billion of alleged Canadian subsidies for “incentives to encourage fossil fuel extraction.” But those so-called incentives are simply normal tax measures that allow every business to deduct costs, which in the case of the oil and gas industry include exploration and development expenditures, the same way a factory owner is allowed to amortize the cost of his factory. Apparently to the IMF, failure of governments to tax is equivalent to a subsidy. This preposterous study, prepared as the IMF’s key contribution to COP21, never mentions the actual fuel subsidies cited in the OECD report. With input like that, what are the chances of dealing with real issues like the fact that many of the countries attending would rather subsidize carbon than tax it?

REGIONAL Police discover large quantity of marijuana after fatal Trans-Canada collision BY ALEX COOPER

Revelstoke Times Review

Approximately 160 pounds of marijuana were discovered in a semi involved in a fatal collision on the Trans-Canada Highway east of Revelstoke Tuesday morning.

According to the RCMP, two tractor-trailers collided head-on about 32 kilometres east of Revelstoke on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at around 6 a.m. One man died as a result of the crash, while two others were taken to hospital. The crash has closed the highway between Revelstoke

and Golden. There was heavy snowfall in the mountains Monday night, with Revelstoke Mountain Resort reporting 32 centimetres of snow. During the course of the investigation, RCMP found 160 pounds of marijuana in the eastbound semi. The drugs have been seized and the matter is under investigation.

THE NELSON STAR Nelson police say thieves are targeting unlocked vehicle around Nelson and taking small, easyto-move items and change. One vehicle was stolen when the thieves found a spare key inside, according to Sgt. Paul Bayes. These “opportunistic offenders” look for easy targets like vehicles with valuables left in the open or vehicles that have been left unlocked, he said. “Always close the windows and sunroof and lock the doors before leaving the vehicle, even for a minute,” Bayes said. “Even if you don’t have anything valuable in your car, a locked door and rolled up window will discourage thieves looking for an easy target. “If you have to keep coins in your car for the parking meters, keep it in an out-ofsight compartment. Don’t leave your valet key, spare key or house keys inside the vehicle.”

Smokies hit the road BY JIM BAILEY

Trail Times

Trail Track and Field Club (TTFC) athlete Sadie Joyce took home a BC Athletics Junior Development Award for beating the BC Athletics standard in the 60-metre sprint last summer. Joyce attended the BC Awards banquet at the Croatian Cultural Centre in Vancouver earlier this month, where she was presented the award by National Track and Field Team athlete, Kyle Nielson. “It’s been quite a while since we had someone win one,” said TTFC coach Dan Horan. “The standards for qualifying are pretty high, but Sadie had a great race and she deserves it.” To receive an award, an athlete must meet or surpass a difficult agegroup standard set each year by BC Athletics. For Joyce, the 11-year-old girls’ standard for the 60-metre sprint was set at 8.84 seconds for 2015, and Joyce squashed that time with an impressive 8.74-second sprint at the BC Junior Development championships in Kamloops in July. “That’s pretty good,” said Horan. “There were some really good athletes. In the race she beat the standards, she finished fourth in the heat.” The standards are based on an average of the top-three results over the previous 10 years, so it was somewhat of an anomaly to see six girls in the province run faster than the standard and five of them do it in the same race. Joyce’s time was just 0.03 seconds off the all time Top Ten List. She also just missed the standard in the high jump in Kamloops. But in all, it

The Trail Smoke Eaters embark on a long, three-game road trip to the coast this week. Trail beat the Victoria Grizzlies, 2-1, on the first leg of a home-andhome on Sunday, and will travel to Victoria today to complete their series with the Island division team. The team has six road games before returning to the Cominco Arena for a match against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Dec. 4. “We have to change our game a little bit,” said Smokies assistant coach Barry Zanier. “We’ve been preaching all year that we have to have more of a focus on defence. It’s not so much about how many goals we score, but how many goals we give up. If they can do that and break the games down into three 20-minute efforts, then I think we’ll be in good shape for the road trip.” The Smokies executed their defensive stratagem perfectly on Sunday in the 2-1 victory over the Grizzlies, but only after dropping a 6-1 game to Cowichan Valley Friday.

Trailing 3-1 heading into the final frame, Selkirk found the offence it needed from second-year forward Matt Martin. The 22-year-old Surrey native brought the Saints within one at the 17:58 mark of the period on a setup from Jamie Vlanich and Arie Postmus, and then tied the game with 11:14 reCONTINUED ON A8

The Smokies then face the Nanaimo Clippers on Friday, a team they beat 6-1 at home on Nov. 6, however, the Boatmen are much better on home ice with a 9-4 record compared to their 4-6-0-1 record on the road. The Smokies will have to be really good defensively and again shut down the potent line of Sheldon Rempal, Matthew Hoover, and Devin Brosseau. The trio has combined for 48 goals and 106 points on the season, and are all in the top 5 of BCHL scoring. Trail will finish off its road swing in Langley to take on the Rivermen on Sunday. The 13-11-0-0 Rivermen are in third place in the Mainland division but are strong up and down their line up with 11 commits. The Rivermen are led by Robert Morris commit Matthew Graham with 14 goals and 29 points, and 18-year-old Justin Fregona who has 18 goals and 28 points this season. Trail is looking to catch the 1112-0-1 Vernon Vipers for the final playoff spot in the Interior division. The Vipers currently lead the 9-130-0 Smokies by five points, but Trail has two games in hand.

SPORTS RETIREES CURLING

Team Caron takes first quarter

BY TIMES CONTRIBUTOR The Trail Retirees curled their last game of the first quarter with six teams in the mix for top spot and the first berth into the end of the year playoff. With the Caron team holding a one point lead over Secco, and two over Walsh, Hall, Brown and Drinnan, the games had meaning. So with first place on the line, team Alvin Caron grabbed a 5-0 lead in the fourth

end against the Forrest Drinnan foursome. Team Drinnan, sitting one at the back of the four foot, attempted to draw for a second around a high guard and a Caron rock in the top of the four foot. With perfect weight the sweepers were unable to keep it from rubbing the Caron rock and raising it to shot. Caron went on to win the game and the quarter. Team Jim Stewart woes continued as they

In the end it was two steals by team Walsh that made the difference in a 6-5 Walsh victory. Team Wayne Wyton blasted out of the gate with four in the first end. Team Primo Secco fought back with singles in the next three ends. Wyton took the next three ends to seal a 7-4 victory running Secco out of rocks in the eighth. Congratulations Team Caron.

Keuchel wins Cy Young

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Houston Astros lefty Dallas Keuchel has won the AL Cy Young Award, easily beating out David Price. Keuchel got 22 first-place votes for 186 points from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America in results announced Wednesday. Price drew eight first-place votes and 143 points. Oakland’s Sonny Gray finished third. Keuchel led the league in wins, going 20-8 and helping Houston reach the playoffs for the first time since 2005. The bearded 27-year-old with a dominant sinker and sharp slider had a 2.48 ERA and 216 strikeouts. Price went 18-5 with a 2.45 ERA and 225 strikeouts. Traded from Detroit to Toronto in late July, he pushed the Blue Jays toward their first playoff appearance since 1993. The NL Cy Young Award was to be announced later Wednesday. Keuchel became the first Houston pitcher to win the Cy Young since Roger Clemens in 2004, and the first do it since the Astros joined the AL.

One last season for Ortiz

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz is planning to retire after the 2016 season. The Dominican slugger said in a video posted on The Players’ Tribune on Wednesday (http://bit. ly/1WYZJxo ) that he will play one more season. It was Ortiz’s 40th birthday, and the post was titled “40.” Ortiz’s plans were first reported by Fox Sports. Ortiz led the Red Sox to three championships, hitting 503 homers

in a career full of clutch at-bats while in the process establishing himself as the face of a long-downtrodden franchise that rose to become a bigmarket bully. In the video, Ortiz says the time has come to move on to the next chapter in his life. Ortiz batted .688 in the 2013 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals and was named the Series MVP. But his greatest contribution to the team’s success came in the 2004 playoffs, when Boston ended its 86-year dynasty of disappointment.

Selkirk still on themselves top in BCIHL down 3-1 after two.

CONTINUED FROM A7 maining in regulation. Nelson’s Ryon Sookro then built on Selkirk’s new-found momentum, converting a Derek Georgopoulos pass for the go-ahead goal just 35 seconds later to secure the Saints’ third consecutive win over EWU. The Saints leading scorer Dallas Calvin left the game early with a lower body injury, and it is uncertain when he will return. Following a scoreless first period, the Eagles took control of the game in the second period with goals from Brett Mathews, Ty Flynn and Beau Walker. Alex Milligan had tied it at 1-1 on a power-play at 13:51 for the Saints with the assist going to defenceman Danny Vlanich of Trail but found

A good sign for the Saints is that they received much needed secondary scoring from Milligan, Martin and Sookro, while James Prigione made 28 saves for the Saints and picked up the win, but had to leave the game midway through the third period. Brett Huber came on in relief and stopped both shots he faced. Austin Brihn allowed four goals on 28 shots in the loss. Selkirk sits atop the BCIHL standings with a 7-2-0 record while the 2-7-0 Eagles are now mired in a five-game losing streak and sit in last place in BCIHL standings. The teams meet again Saturday at the EWU Recreation Complex in Cheney.

Dear Annie: My son, “Robert,” is 50 years old. He has no contact with his older sister or me. When Robert was 13, my husband and I divorced. His father was a troubled person. He was a typical old-fashioned European father who believed in physical punishment, and used a belt when disciplining his son. I tried to protect Robert, and this often caused a great many arguments with my husband. After the divorce, the children lived with me. When Robert was in high school, he got into drugs and became too difficult for me to handle, so I sent him to live with his father, who lived close by. Robert continued to act out and was punished often, but he graduated with honors and was well-liked. He went on to college, married young and had two children. The oldest is autistic, which put a great deal of pressure on the marriage and they divorced. I love my grandchildren. Robert used to bring them to visit every
