The average blood level for a child in the Trail area remained relatively static since last year, measuring 4.5 ug/dL (micrograms per deciliter). That number, called a geomean, is expected to drop significantly rather than gradually in the next few years once Teck Trail’s fugitive dust program is fully realized with completion of the Smelter Recycle Building. The current results for children aged six to 36 months were revealed during the Trail Area Health and Environment Committee (THEC) meeting Tuesday night. Blood testing clinics continue to be well attended, this year 116 venous samples were taken, which meets THEC’s goal of a 75 per cent voluntary participation rate. Though the results were slightly higher than 2014’s 4.3 ug/dL average for children in Area 1 (Sunningdale, Shavers Bench and Glenmerry) and Area 2 (Tadanac, Rivervale, East and West Trail) the fact that 90 per cent tested are well below 10 ug/dL reflects that overall lead exposure continues to decline. “THEC has done a good job over the years of facilitating reduced exposure of children to lead in our community,” Trail Mayor and THEC chair Mike Martin said. “Unfortunately, we did not meet our goal of having an average of 4 ug/dL for children’s lead levels by 2015, but we know that the greatest benefits of Teck’s Fugitive Dust Reduction Program have yet to be realized,” he added. “The smelter recycle building is an example of this. It is important to Teck to continue its investments in reducing fugitive dust, which we believe offers the greatest opportunity to reduce children’s lead levels.” Next year, the committee will be actively working toward an updated

plan that includes public consultation and a new target level by 2020. The Blood Level Objective Working Group recommended that THEC consider a 3.5 ug/dL goal in the next five years. There’s still a long way to go in planning for a new guideline before the public meetings next fall, but the lower level is based on Teck’s goal to significantly reduce lead levels in the air within three years. “Teck is committed to continuing to reduce lead emissions and meeting the Trail Area Health and Environment Committee’s 2018 air quality goals,” says Richard Deane, manager of public affairs for the Trail site. “We have made significant reductions in air emissions in the past 20 years…through…a multi-year effort to continue to improve community air quality.” Other ways overall lead levels are being actively reduced is through community programs that include engaging expectant families, “Healthy Family” visits (71 completed this year), and the Healthy Homes Program. Services available through that program include soil testing, yard improvement work and paint screening for lead contaminants. To date, the program has completed 78 home visits. Though only no lead is good lead, the year-to-year trend of gradual improvement is the salient principle. “The children’s lead testing program is very important for identifying the smaller group of young children who have slightly higher than average blood levels,” says Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi from Interior Health. “So that their lead exposure can be reduced.” Currently under construction, Trail’s new facility will enclose storage and mixing of in-process materials, and expected to reduce fugitive dust emissions up to 25 per cent.

Being named after a flower is pretty and all. But at four-yearsold Iris Hussey discovered her first name also stood for the thin, circular structure in the eye, responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupil and the amount of light reaching the retina. Today, the sevenyear old’s curiosity fittingly has led her to study interesting animal eyes, which came to the forefront this week when the Home Learning Expo showcased first term projects of students in Rossland Summit School’s new multi-age classroom. Pint-sized, brighteyed Hussey is unassuming. Her multicoloured Bristol board highlights what’s she’s learned, but there is no need to refer to the notes, as she recites all the research she’s accumulated. The leaf-tailed gecko cannot blink and sleeps with open eyes because it has no eyelids, she explains. Huskies often have two different eyes; this doesn’t help them see better but is just a cool fact. “I can cross my eyes like a chameleon,” she says, and one is remind-

ed that she’s in Grade 2. Iris is one of 24 students in grades 2-5 participating in a new class that is introducing personalized learning and peer mentoring on a whole new level, according to teacher Bridget O’Malley. She volunteered to lead the RSS-specific class after a group of parents came forward last year with a proposal that mixes a little bit of home schooling into a traditional setting. Children in the new multi-age class work collectively on subjects but independently when it comes to skill level. Often, the older kids offer help and direction to the younger set Monday to Thursday when they are in class at the K-9 school in Rossland. Then the students get to delve into their own personalized learning Fridays when they study for five hours on a subject of their choice with parents or grandparents generally leading the home-based learning portion of their studies. “I would say the clincher is the one day a week home school, which is basically something that I had to learn,” explained Jeff Hussey, Iris’ dad. “But

This forces you to learn how to teach your kid, and it keeps you totally in tune with what they’re learning in class.” O’Malley sat down with parents or guardians and their child to develop a special project for the first term, which ended with a bang this week when the kids got to display their passions discovered from the comfort of their home at the class expo. Interesting animal eyes, hydraulics, cooking and baking, germs, creative writing and dirt bike maintenance were just a few of the subjects put on display

and articulated by the students. “We like that the principle of the class is to basically light that spark,” added Hussey. “The ability to teach your kid is just so good. “For me, I’ve always wanted to but this has forced me to do it, and it’s only looking up from here.” Personalized learning is the tailoring of curriculum and learning environments to meet the different learning needs and aspirations of learners. The multi-age class fosters this concept by bringing teaching back to the parents, who’ve always had an apt for showing their child the way from taking their first steps to learning to read.

“People are always looking to see what innovative things are happening within our region,” said O’Malley, pointing to the Wildflower program that has been quite successful in Nelson for over 14 years. “I think it’s that idea of some more direct parent involvement in a child’s education and also that idea of having your child personalize his learning with a passion project.” As of right now, no other school in School District 20 has discussed this class concept, according to superintendent of schools Greg Luterbach. But, he said, it’s still early and another school may take note.

New rental policy cut in half this year: school district

ADOPT A GRANDPARENT

VAL ROSSI Trail Times

The school board is giving local groups a break by cutting a new rental fee rate structure in half for this year alone. After rental revenues didn’t cover the hard costs associated with renting out its facilities, SD20’S Board of Education upped its facility rental price tag and terminated its generous fee waiver process this fall. But after careful consideration of non-profits scrambling to find new money to cover the sudden jump, a committee of the whole reviewed the new policy and softened the news at Monday night’s regular school board meeting. Rather than charging renters $150 to use SD20 space (class, library, cafeteria, gym or computer room) per day or $25 an hour, the board has decided to ask for half of the original amount — $75 per day and $12.50 an hour for this year. “The criticism was that it came kind of out of the blue to all these organizations, that they didn’t have enough time to plan for it, and the ones running programs would have to jack up their prices,” said Darrel Ganzert, board chair. “We said, ‘OK we understand that argument so we’ll cut the fee in half this year but for the coming year, we’re going to the full rate.’” But not after much debate at the board table, where some trustees like Mickey Kinakin didn’t like the “blanket order” and preferred a review board that dealt with applications as they rolled in. And trustee Mark Wilson questioned the board’s collective voice, one that couldn’t stick to a policy that brought in revenue but sold schools for a buck. Previously, groups could apply for waivers and exemption of fees based on a formula, which led to the board cutting costs by 50 per cent to 100 per cent if users were nonprofit or supported schoolaged kids. The former process resulted in most renters paying nothing to utilize a district space except for a one-time $30 annual administration fee. “Costs are estimated at $12,000, whereas revenues were on average $2,000 to $3,600,” Natalie Verigin, secretary-treasurer previously explained to the board. “The revenues are low because of the generous fee waiver process.” As a result, the board decided it needed to recoup the $10,000. “The criticism we’re hearing is that taxpayers pay for that building, and people are absolutely right, taxpayers did pay for it, just like they paid for the upkeep of the Cominco arena, the aquatic centre, the complex in Castlegar and nobody gets those for free,” added Ganzert.

OBITUARIES FUNERAL NOTICES

Lillian Constance Brownlow (nee Middlefell) was born October 8th, 1927, the second of three children to Robert and Sylvia Middlefell in Lancaster, England. She attended Lancaster Girls Grammar school and then proceeded to receive training as a chemical assayer at the Springfield’s nuclear power plant. It is there that she met Stanley Brownlow who she would then marry in Perth, Australia in 1955 before moving to the town of Bachleor in the jungle of Australia’s Northern Territories. Lillian and Stan returned to England in 1957, purchased a home near to Liverpool in the Village of Formby where they would then have two sons, Colin and Nigel. In 1965 the couple emigrated to Canada, first to Elliot Lake in Northern Ontario, and then two years later to Trail, British Columbia. While in Elliot Lake Lillian worked as technician in the laboratory of the local hospital. During her following forty-three years in Trail, Lillian concentrated on raising her family and being an active member of the community. As a result of declining health Lillian left Trail in 2011 and moved to the Belvedere residential care facility in Coquitlam where she passed away peacefully on Thursday, November, 19, 2015. Lillian was born at a time when society was still recovering for the tragedies of the First World War while dealing with the worst periods of the great depression. Like others of her generation, it imbedded an endearing appreciation for the simple things in life: her family; home cooking; gardening, and nature were her passions. A hobbyist naturalist, Lillian was fascinated by local fauna and wildlife especially the many small birds and wild flowers of the Kootenays. The Girl Guide movement was a large part of Lillian’s life from her being a Girl Guide to later a Guide leader in England, Australia, and Canada. Between 1969 and 1980, Lillian served as Girl Guide District Commissioner for Trail and Area Commissioner for the Kootenays. Later she became one of early members of the Trail Trefoil Guild until her health prevented active participation. Lillian received several awards through her years in Guiding, including a medal of merit and the Eva Wrangler Tiger Lily Award recognizing her continued commitment to the true spirit of Guiding. Lillian’s life saw its share of tragedy. Her parents passed away while Lillian was still a young woman. At the age of 52 she suffered a severe and paralyzing stroke and only a few years later lost her husband in an unfortunate car accident. Despite her handicap she lived independently for another twenty-two years keeping a positive and youthful perspective throughout. Those who knew Lillian knew she was not shy to state her opinion and was fiercely independent but never failed to lend a hand to a friend in need. Lillian will be deeply missed by her brother and sister in-law Robert and Nita, her sons Colin and Nigel, her daughters in-law Helen and Emilia, her six grand-children Christina, Alastair, Andrea, Kevin, Hilary and Duncan, and the many people whose lives she has touched. Those wishing to make a donation may do so to the Girl Guides of Canada, British Columbia Council – in Memory of Lillian Brownlow. Her family wishes to thank the staff of the Belvedere care home for the compassionate care of Lillian during the last four years. Information regarding a memorial will be published shortly.

Brian Dale Levick Our hearts are broken and forever changed with the passing of our dear son, brother, uncle and friend Brian Dale Levick. Brian peacefully went to heaven on Saturday, November 21, 2015. Brian was born to Fin and Margret Levick on August 5, 1961 in Trail. He was a dream child for his parents, easy going and happy. Growing up in Trail with his brother Morley (Gail) Levick, sisters Shelley Levick, Brenda (Wayne) Moncrief, and Sheryl (Neil) Moon. Brian had an awesome childhood filled with memories of reading, music, travelling and Christina Lake. Later Brian became an outstanding Uncle to Mathew/Kody Moncrief, Samantha Levick, and David/Michael/Chelsea Moon. Brian was interwoven into a tight knit family that cherished their time with him. Brian was the son of a Trucker. This meant he learned early in life to work hard and work long hours without complaining. Brian was the third generation to operate Bryan’s Transfer. He started as a driver in the garbage truck, learned all he could about mechanics and later ran the crane. From an early age, Brian had a love of music that lead to the forming of numerous bands. He was well known in the music community for his soulful voice and multifaceted talents. Brian was a self taught musician with the ability to play any instrument he picked up. His passion was guitar from an early age but the harmonica, keyboard, mandolin worked in to his music as well. Brian’s songs had depth and meaning ... best days were spent writing for hours and creating new tunes. Brian was a friend to all and many. He will be fondly remembered as a companion who was never too busy to help you out of a jam or to talk, he would sympathize but make sure you didn’t get too egotistical. Brian your smile, kindness and music lives on forever in our hearts. A Celebration of Life will take place Sunday, December 6th at 2:00 pm in the Trail Legion Hall. Reverend Ken Siemens officiating.

PROVINCIAL Funding details on refugees to be worked out with feds: Premier THE C ANADIAN PRESS BURNABY, B.C. - British Columbia is ready to welcome Syrian refugees but still needs to work out funding details with the federal government, Premier Christy Clark says. “We hope that they’ll be able to make sure that they have the funding in place to ensure that every refugee who settles has the strongest-possible chance of success in our province. And that means not just settling in Vancouver, the most expensive housing market in the country, but to settle all across the province.” The province has set aside $1 million to resettle newcomers, who will need trauma counselling after being forced to leave their homes, Clark said Wednesday. She said refugees are expected to move in across B.C., though the federal government now says the first wave of newcomers it is sponsoring will be settled in the Lower Mainland. Clark said Ottawa’s decision to bring in 25,000 refugees by the end of February instead of by year’s end means more services will be in place to help people transition to a new country. She said it’s not known how many refugees will come to B.C., though she has previously said the province is ready to accept 3,500 people. Chris Friesen of the Immigrant Services Society of B.C. said Wednesday that 400 Syrian refugees are expected to arrive in the province by the end of the year, with another 1,500 people to be resettled in January and February. Those numbers do not include privately sponsored refugees. Surrey already has one of the largest reception centres in the country for government-assisted refugees, and many Syrians are expected to settle there.

SITE C DAM

BC Hydro set to sign largest deal in history THE C ANADIAN PRESS BURNABY, B.C. - BC Hydro is poised to sign off on the largest construction contract involved in building the $8.3-billion Site C hydroelectric dam in the province’s northeast. Hydro has selected Peace River Hydro Partners as the preferred proponent for the main civil works contract, valued at $1.5 billion. Premier Christy Clark says the work will include building the earthfill dam, a pair of diversion tunnels and the concrete foundation for a nearby generating station. The partnership - made up of Acciona Infrastructure Canada, Petrowest Corporation and Samsung - was one of four groups shortlisted for the contract in April of this year. BC Hydro expects the eight-year contract to create 1,500 jobs at its peak. The project has faced numerous legal challenges from landowners groups and First Nations concerned about the impact flooding and the creation of a new lake will have on the Peace River and the surrounding valley.

B.C.’s child poverty rate tops federal average, prompts demand for improvement

THE C ANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - Doctors, service providers and parents are calling for the provincial government to take action over a new report showing one in five children in British Columbia lives in poverty. A report card released on Tuesday by First Call: B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition showed 20.4 per cent of children across the province live in poverty, topping the national rate of 19 per cent. The numbers are from 2013 statistics, the most recent data available, and show just more than half of B.C.’s poorest youngsters are in Metro Vancouver. “Children in this province deserve better. They’re waiting for our action,” coalition spokeswoman Adrienne Montani said at a news conference. Similar child-poverty reports were also released across Canada, commemorating a 1989 all-party resolution in the House of Commons to eliminate child poverty by 2000. The B.C. report showed the median after-tax income for poor, loneparent families was $14,300 - $10,019 below the poverty line. Two-parent families with one child were $11,851 below the poverty line. The report makes 21 recommendations to reduce child poverty, including raising the minimum wage, implementing $10-per-day child care and increasing affordable housing options for families. Amanda McKay knows what it’s like to be a child living in poverty. She grew up in foster care and said she experienced heartache and abuse. McKay said she found solace in school and earned a commerce degree from the University of British Columbia, but today she struggles financially as a single parent to her two-year-old son. Currently living on income assistance, McKay said she feels trapped in a system that keeps her living

below the poverty line. “It makes me feel very ashamed that I can’t do more, but at the same time, daycare costs are way too high and welfare rates are way too low,” she said. Stretching her meagre budget to cover food, rent and transportation is incredibly difficult, McKay said. She tries to feed her son nutritious meals but struggles to give him what’s needed to grow up healthy. “To provide my son with what he needs, I have to access as many services as possible such as support groups and used-clothing giveaways. I spend much of my time in survival mode, just trying to get by,” she said. Dr. Vanessa Brcic said family physicians need the province’s help to assist patients living below the poverty line. “What can I do for a patient who doesn’t have food or housing?” she said. People living in poverty have higher rates of stress and obesity, which creates a lot of work in health care but not the kind she’d like to be doing, Brcic added. Prescribing lifestyle changes, such as healthy eating or exercise, is demeaning to a patient whose problems are caused by a broken system, she said. “My job should not be to clean up the down-stream health effects of a government that neglects the implementation of evidence-based, humane and cost-saving solutions for patients,” said Brcic. Michelle Mungall, the New Democrats’ social-development critic, said in a news release that B.C. is the only province without a povertyreduction plan, despite attempts by her party to introduce one in the Legislature, and she blamed the premier. “Christy Clark has an abysmal record when it comes poverty reduction,” said Mungall. “B.C. families deserve better.”

Restaurant liquor rules eased

BL ACK PRESS The latest change to B.C. liquor policy loosens the rules for restaurant goers who just want to order a drink, without food. They’re now allowed to sit anywhere in the restaurant instead of being relegated to a separate lounge area or feeling pressured to order food. That’s expected to provide some more flexibility to restaurants that no longer need to have defined lounge areas. “This is a small change that will make

a big impact,” said Ian Tostenson, president of the BC Restaurant and Foodservice Association. “The restaurant can open up more physical space that can be used to seat customers who are dining or enjoying a cocktail.” The rules for music and comedy performances are also relaxed. Restaurants no longer have to apply for a permit to host entertainment, as long as patrons aren’t participating in the show. Meanwhile, craft

beer lovers should soon find more local varieties in B.C. government liquor stores. The stores are reserving dedicated shelf space starting Nov. 30 for beer from local microbreweries that has not typically been offered in government stores. There are more than 100 eligible microbreweries – producing no more than 15,000 hectolitres a year – and each store is expected to carry up to 12 currently unlisted varieties from the nearest breweries.

New times, new problems for opposition parties

t’s not easy being in opposition these days. Especially in Alberta and Ottawa, where radical change has elected governments with markedly different ideas about how to do business. Voters have rejected the old way of doing government business, so how does an opposition (which represents that old style) successfully oppose the new? That’s the challenge for the Wildrose Party in Alberta and the Conservatives in Ottawa. It even poses a challenge in Regina, where governing Saskatchewan Party Premier Brad Wall seems to have manoeuvred himself as an opposition leader who just happens to hold the reins of power. In Ottawa, it’s way too early to tell if the Conservatives can morph from a decade of being increasingly autocratic government leaders to opposition defenders of democracy against government autocracy. Suffice to say that adopting a slogan like “change of tone” will not be enough. Interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose strode out to meet the press following her appointment and promised a more open and inclusive approach to federal politics by her party. She took three quick questions, then turned her back and walked away. It appears “change of tone” will not come easily.

But you have to give From 1980the Tories points for 85, when that detrying. Friday’s headbacle occurred, lines hint at somethe Progressive thing more positive.

Alberta is on the verge of economic crisis driven by low energy prices. Canada needs a policy on how to react to a global refugee crisis driven by sectarian violence and terrorism. The whole world is looking for unified leadership on preventing a climate disaster that we have all worked together to create. We have elected political parties with policies of co-operation on these issues. An opposition party cannot succeed by simply refusing to co-operate. Whatever core support Wall may have in Saskatchewan, he projects a minority view when he says he doesn’t want to co-operate on faster processing of Syrian refugees. The non-profits are already at the table with money and resources to bring them in. How will opposition parties win debates now? Not by creating bogeymen of higher-priced electricity (which people can offset by being more efficient) or of potential loss of profits for large corporations with large pollution footprints. These tactics just won’t fly when people are looking for solutions, not excuses that solutions are just too much change. In a climate where people want change, being in opposition is not easy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR OVER

The impacts of a warming climate The summer of 2015 wasn’t what we were hoping for. Campfire bans in combination with provincial restrictions on fishing, made many feel they didn’t get to enjoy the summer. The reality of a rapidly warming climate is of significant concern to the hydrology of British Columbia. The region-wide closures that we experienced this year are unprecedented. The cumulative impacts of a meager snow pack and record-breaking heat waves resulted in drought and dangerous levels of warming in our lakes and rivers.

The combination of increased water temperature and decreased flow, create a favorable environment for abundant algae growth, which is detrimental to spawning habitat, the invertebrate community and water quality. Current climate models are predicting future seasons to consist of mild, wet winters, and long hot summers. The impacts of this changing climate will continue to become calamitous for many species. With this awareness we have the opportunity and responsibility to work with management as

they continue to develop the best practices as changes occur. This is not an isolated problem, but one of the many consequences of excessive carbon emissions. The preservation of natural resources must be of paramount concern. It is important to be respectful of future restrictions to sustain fish populations. If fishing is in our future, we have to start mitigating for expected challenges. We can all start by living and supporting a low carbon lifestyle. Ashley McWhirter Genelle

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Global Entrepreneur Week, Worldwide Breast-feeding Week are examples. With fewer weeks available conflicts are arising. The UN-declared World Space Week finds itself at odds with with the Marijuana Users Association which wants to use the same time slot for World Spaced Week. However, Geography Awareness Week organizers however have gone into talks with their counterparts at the Directionally Challenged Week offices. Both groups are hoping for a mutually productive collaboration. Months are no exception to the onslaught. October was declared 4-H Month, as well asAmerican Cheese Month and Menopause Month. Novembers competition

sees Banana Pudding Lovers, Pecan Eaters and Novel Writers all vying to have this same slot as their own. Future conflict can be assured. I submit that we end this penchant for special days, weeks and months. To have a simple Saturday where there are no concerns other than sitting would be satisfying. A mundane Monday where I do no more than mumble about the morons around me would be marvellous. Weeks without World Alliance groups waving placards and months devoid of declarations of various sorts seems desirable. Act now before the days, weeks and months of your calendar are as gone as your choices! Ryan Lengsfeld Nelson

No rush to sign Pacific trade deal

An editorial from the Toronto Star It took seven years of closeddoor negotiations to hammer out the Trans Pacific Partnership, the largest free trade and investment agreement in Canadian history. The 6,000-page text landed on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s desk one day after he was sworn in. It would be unreasonable to expect the newly elected Liberal government to rubber-stamp the massive deal without examining the details carefully, weighing the pros and cons, giving MPs an opportunity to review and debate the historic pact, and securing parliamentary approval. That’s what Trudeau pledged during the election campaign and it’s the right way to make major national decisions. The prime minister has signaled that his government supports free trade in principle and welcomes improved access to markets of the other 11 Pacific

Rim countries involved in the partnership. But that does not necessarily mean accepting all the details agreed to by Stephen Harper’s government. Some are of them are quite controversial: letting more dairy products into Canada, lowering the Canadian content threshold for imported vehicles, and reducing Canada’s protection for its eggs and poultry. None of the 12 prospective members of the partnership has signed the agreement yet. When nations become signatories, they have two years to decide whether to ratify the agreement. The TPP needs the ratification of states representing 85 per cent of the GDP of the group to come into force. That gives Canada plenty of time -- as long as mid-2018 -- to make up its mind. The Canadian Council of Chief Executives, the voice of big business, has long been an eager proponent of the deal, which

would open up a $28-trillion market to Canadian exporters. The Conservatives want to see the deal signed early in the New Year. But the TPP has an array of opponents: dairy farmers, auto parts manufacturers, organized labour, environmentalists, the New Democrats, the Greens and veteran anti-free-trade activists. Canadians are divided, many admitting they don’t know enough about this complex deal to make an informed judgment. Trudeau read the nation’s mood well. He outlined a sensible course of action. There is no need to speed up the timetable or truncate the plan.

Trail Track and Field going strong JIM BAILE Y Times Sports Editor

Even with temperatures dropping and snow falling on the ground, the Trail Track and Field Club (TTFC) is going strong, meeting twice a week at the Willi Krause Fieldhouse to fine-tune and train up-and-coming young athletes. The TTFC has seen significant growth this season, with over 20 young athletes attending the workouts at the Fieldhouse. “We’re in the Fieldhouse Tuesdays and Thursdays,” said TTFC coach Dan Horan. “I have lots of young kids, but also a half dozen 14-15 year olds. They’re coming out of the woodwork.” The influx of high school age athletes is refreshing for Horan, after seeing most secondary schools in the area restructure their school sports programs and essentially drop their track and field teams. “It would still be nice to have someone in the school run a program, because then you would get more high school age kids, but it is what it is,” said Horan. “It (TTFC) is a junior development club (ages 9-13) basically.” The opportunities for local high-school aged athletes is limited. While the athletes can compete in club events, secondary school regional and provincial meets are inaccessible due to the absence of a school team. “One of the problems you have is you have to qualify. High School sports is different, in that, what you have to do is be registered through your school through BC school sports, in order to qualify.” Still the hard work is

BCHL

Vees duo top prospects list

BY TIMES STAFFF Seven BCHL players were among 22 Junior A players to make the grade on Tuesday on the most recent NHL Central Scouting list. The list features the top 17-year-old prospects slated for draft eligibility in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Leading the way were Penticton Vees defenceman Dante Fabbro and forward Tyson Jost. The Vees duo are A-list players, which indicate they are candidates to be a first round draft pick in the NHL Entry Draft come June. Jost, committed to the University of North Dakota in 2016-17, leads the BCHL with 54 points and is second with 23 goals in 26 games. Fabbro, committed to Boston University for 2016-17, leads BCHL defensemen with 31 points in 20 games. and points-per-game at 1.6. The Chilliwack Chiefs also have two players on the list with defenceman Dennis Cholowski targeted as a second or third round candidate, and forward Kohen Olischefski pegged for the middle to late rounds of the draft. Rounding out the BCHLers are forward Colin Grannary from the Merritt Centennials, Kyle Betts from the Powell River Kings and Surrey Eagles centreman Ty Westgard as C-list prospects.

WINNIPEG Edmonton Eskimos head coach Chris Jones knows all too well how good Ottawa Redblacks veteran quarterback Henry Burris can be in a Grey Cup game. Jones was the Calgary Stampeders’ defensive co-ordinator in 2008 when they won the Grey Cup with a 22-14 victory over the Montreal Alouettes at Olympic Stadium. Burris was named the game MVP after throwing for 328 yards and a TD and rushing for a team-high 79 yards on nine carries. Jones and Burris find themselves back in the Grey Cup, although on opposite sides of the

field. Under Jones, Edmonton finished tied with Calgary for the CFL’s best record at 14-4 but secured top spot in the West Division standings by winning the season series. The Eskimos then beat the defending league champions 45-31 in the West Division final. Burris was a big reason for the huge turnaround in Ottawa. After posting a 2-16 record in their inaugural season, the Redblacks finished atop the East Division with a 12-6 record, then secured the city’s first Grey Cup appearance since 1981 with a thrilling 35-28 win over Hamilton in the confer-

ence final. Burris’s 93-yard TD strike to Greg Ellingson with just over a minute remaining earned Ottawa its winning margin. The 40-year-old quarterback has been sensational this season, registering a CFL-record 481 completions and league-leading 5,703 passing yards. And Burris has been terrific in spreading the wealth as Ottawa finished the regular season with four 1,000-yard receivers, something that creates matchup difficulties for opposing defences. What’s more, Ottawa comes into the Grey Cup on a nice roll, having won five straight games.

A downed power line can be deadly Electricity is silent and invisible. Downed power lines can still be energized and deadly. If you see a downed power line, keep back at least 10 metres (33 feet), and call our 24-hour emergency line at 1-866-436-7847 or 911. For more electricity safety information, visit fortisbc.com/downedlines.

But the Redblacks were 0-2 versus Edmonton this season and have yet to see Eskimos starter Mike Reilly up close and personal. Reilly was hurt for both previous matchups with Ottawa after sustaining knee injury in Edmonton’s season-opening loss to Toronto. Since Reilly returned as the starter, the Eskimos have reeled off nine straight victories. And that includes three against Calgary after going 0-4 to the Stampeders in 2014. A constant for Edmonton this year has been a staunch defence, one that allowed a league-low 18.9 points per game. Ottawa counters with a solid unit - one that was ranked first in fewest yards allowed (297.6 per game), rushing yards (70.8) and most sacks (62) - but Jones is the differencemaker. The former long-time defensive co-ordinator has a well deserved reputation for being innovative and unpredictable in his play calls. Jones is an aggressive coach who’s not afraid to bring pressure from anywhere

on the field. He’ll drop defensive linemen into coverage and bring defensive backs on blitzes in order to pressure the passer and generally wreak havoc. Burris was 20-of-36 passing for 162 yards and an interception in Ottawa’s first meeting with Edmonton, a 46-17 loss at Commonwealth Stadium on July 10. He finished 29-of-39 for 252 yards and an interception the following week but the Eskimos left TD Place with a 23-12 victory. The Eskimos have shown they can play defence against Ottawa and have the talent in the secondary to handle the East squad’s four 1,000-yard receivers. Edmonton does boast two 1,000-yard receivers but it’s Reilly who makes that offence go and the Redblacks’ defence will get its first look at him Sunday. And the combination of Jones, Reilly and nine straight wins make it hard to go against the West Division champions. Pick - Edmonton. Last week: 2-0. Overall record: 49-32.

Admit mistake to family and move on

TUNDRA

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

stolen everything from watches and money to kitchen utensils and cookie sheets. My mother even accused a family member of stealing a watch that she later found right where she had misplaced it. As you can well imagine, that did some damage to their relationship.

At the age of 50-something, I spend a good deal of time looking for my own misplaced things. Thank goodness I am not yet at the point where I am convinced these things were stolen, but I suspect that time will come soon enough. -- A Weary Daughter

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

Dear Annie: I am a 68-year-old twice-divorced woman who has made some unwise decisions in my life. I’m single (which is fine) and will be retiring at year’s end. I’m currently living with an egotistical, frugal, cold-as-ice 75-year-old man who claims he loves me, yet he dominates every conversation, lacks social skills, ignores etiquette and attempts to control me. I didn’t know him long enough before I moved to be with him. We met at a dance when he was in town visiting friends. I still couldn’t discern infatuation from love. I wanted a fairy tale. I thought with my heart instead of my head. After a while, dancing four nights a week wears thin when that’s all there is to enjoy together. I haven’t been happy for several years. We’ve made some nice friends, but if I don’t suggest getting together, they never would. My children and siblings live out of state, and I want to move back home. How can I do that and save face with my family and friends? They warned me that I was rushing into things.

With many gang members being arrested or murdered, membership is usually in a constant state of ﬂux with internal competition for leadership roles.
