Update on the state of the tourism industry

C ArOLyN gr [email protected]

Kootenay Rockies Tourism will hold its annual general meeting and conference at the Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre on October 18, 2012.

Tourism partners from all over the region, including owners and employees of tourism facilities and businesses, as well as representa-tion from the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Development will attend panel discussions and presentations in the day long ses-sion.

KRT President Chris Dadson, who will be retiring in November,

will deliver a report on the regional tourism perspective.

“My report usually includes in-formation about our marketing projects, but will also include gen-eral trends.”

And the trend this year is not bad, he says.

“It’s kind of a mixed bag but it’s stabilizing again,” he said. “We’ve had a couple of tough years, and

we don’t have the final numbers for this year yet. But anecdotally I think it was a good summer. We had a late start with the wet spring, which was tough but I’m hearing reports from golf courses and busi-nesses that August and September have been good.

“The U.S. market is tough with the exchange rates. But overall, post-recession of 2008 it seems to

be settling out.”Also presenting at the confer-

ence will be Rod Harris, Adjunct Professor, Royal Roads University, who will report on tourism from a global perspective. There will also be a session on engaging custom-ers through social media.

The conference ends with a Sat-urday night dinner and a retire-ment party for Dadson.

Paula Thomas, mother of Jenna Homeniuk, who is currently in Chil-dren’s Hospital in Calgary battling leukemia, has a big thank you for the fund-raising efforts of Kimberley residents.

“We would like to give a very warm thank you to our amazing community and friends who took part in Jenna’s fund-raiser,” Thomas said. “This event was a huge success and we are very grateful to you all. Shari Lamarche and her team of helpers amazed us. Their dedication and hard work made this event a huge success. We would also like to thank all the businesses, the Lions Club, the Rotary Club and individu-als who gave their time and gifts for the silent auction. Thank you all for your kindness and generosity.”

Thomas says that Jenna is doing as well as could be expected.

“We have six to seven months of chemo treatments ahead,” Thomas said. “But she’s strong, her spirits are up. We are believers and we are con-fident she’ll make it through. It’s a rough road, but she’s doing okay.”

Sept. 21, 2012 at 7 pm at Idlewild Peace Park a most memorial and magical evening began. The setting with the surrounding moun-tains in the distance couldn’t be more per-fect or awe inspiring. The second annual In-ternational Day of Peace celebration was under way with the lovely and talented Jo-elle Winkel leading all in O Canada. The more than 250 hearts were swelling with pride and thankfulness for our country. The wonder and awe of all the young and so talented individ-uals kept everyone spell bound.

From the wonderful Metis Jiggers, to Savan-nah Flegel singing so beautifully, to the Royal Stewart Highland Danc-ers, and later Piper, Mariah Whitlock, to the beautiful Filipino Flow-er Dance, to Brianna Salmon with her awe-inspiring dance to In-strument of Peace, to Joelle Winkel and friends singing, to our fantastic Cranbrook Bugle Band, and Angus MacDonald, William Nicholson and Rod Wil-son providing some toe tapping Celtic music.

Just in case this wasn’t more than you might have expected, there was a finale can-

• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.

• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.

• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.

• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

Denise's Weekly FeaturesBetter future begins with

honest appraisal of current financial situation

NORM MACDONALDMLA Columbia River Revelstoke

In my last MLA report, which was the first in a multi-part series on pro-vincial budgeting, I laid out a number of methods that governments use to raise revenue including taxes, royal-ties, dividends, fees, and the sale of assets. And I talked about how the choices that govern-ments make have real ef-fects on people.

I mentioned that since 2001, MSP premiums have increased by 85 per cent, and that BC Hydro rates have increased by 36 per cent. And I talked about how, since the im-plementation of the HST in 2010, billions of dollars in taxes have been shifted on to consumers.

But despite the fact that regular British Columbians are paying more, the actual state of British Columbia’s books is more dire than it has ever been. I believe that it is vital that you know the truth, even though the truth, in this case, is hard to take.

Since the BC Liberals took power, the total government debt has risen by $23.5 billion. That’s an increase of 70 per cent. The estimated debt by March 2013 will be $57.4 billion. But this is only a small part of the story.

Under the BC Liberals, other con-tractual obligations or off-book debt have skyrocketed. The total of this type of debt, which we as taxpayers

are obligated to pay, is a phenomenal $96 billion. A portion of this debt is for privatized government services and privatized infrastructure projects. But I think you will be surprised to find out where more than half that $96 billion will be going.

You will remember the opposition local residents raised to the destruc-tion of our rivers and streams for pri-vate power production. Although only a few of these projects have been built, the environmental and eco-

nomic costs to the prov-ince have been great.

The owners of these private river diversion projects have signed long-term Energy Purchase Agreements with BC Hydro leaving ratepayers owing $54.9 billion. And what will we receive for all this money? Overpriced power that is produced during the spring freshet when we don’t actually

need it. As I speak to people across this

area, I hear consistently that people are optimistic that we can build a bet-ter future. And I agree with them.

But as we look to that better future, we must be honest about our current financial situation.

While it will be difficult to over-come these extreme financial chal-lenges, I feel confident that we can work together, establish our priorities and make real progress towards mak-ing British Columbia an even better place to live.

This is the second in a three-part series on provincial budgeting.

Our meetings take place downstairs in Waldie Hall in St. Andrews Presbyterian Church at 97 Boundary Street on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at 7:00 pm. We meet every second and fourth Wednesday from October to the following May.

The Club’s main purpose is to develop photo-graphic skills of it’s members through workshops, critiquing, outings, and information exchange. Our members range from beginners to experienced veterans. Our interests range from nature photog-raphy, landscapes, still life, travel, and portraiture.

A few topics we explore at our meetings are; composition, depth of field, white balance, and lighting. Are you having problems with your new digital camera?

Bring your camera and the owner’s manual for that camera to a meeting and our members will help you. Please do not bring your camera to the first meeting of the year as there is usually lots of business at this meeting.

The first meeting of each month is our general business meeting. We also include judging inter club competitions ( slide of the month ), critique of member’s images, short instructional workshops, and twice a year, judging entries for National Com-petitions.

The second meeting of each month involves workshops on predetermined topics, and Club projects.

The Club produces an Annual Digital Slideshow for the general public. Members contribute images on assigned topics and digital slideshows are pro-duced.

The Club executive would like to welcome both old and new members to attend our first meeting of the season.

Come out and see what the club is all about, you might like it.

BusyNot much to report this week. It seems once

summer is over and the kids are back in school the call volume drops. Not to say anybody it bored. A lot of paperwork and other activities get put on the back burner during July and August. Now is the chance for officers to get caught up, take on other projects and get ready for ski season.

Lake PatroLs

Officers were able to conduct some boat patrols in September. Both Wasa and Premiere Lake boat-ers were checked. There was not a lot of boats on the water and even less infractions were found. But it’s a good chance for officers to get out and meet with the community and make contacts. Everybody was happy to see the patrols and we hope to increase that next year. To further that, the Cranbrook/Kimberley detachment has acquired their own boat. In years past we have had to borrow a boat from neighbour-ing detachments. The new addition needs a little maintenance and the logistics have to be worked out, but we expect to have it in the water next year.

HeLmets again!

I came across an interesting chain of events on the bike trail last week. As you know I’m a strong proponent of wearing helmets. So this situation re-ally struck the wrong cord with me. A family of four was out cycling. Mom was pulling a young child in a trailer and Dad was keeping an eye on a young boy on his bike. All had helmets on, but Dad did not have his done up. Suddenly the young boy stopped, Dad was right behind him, and he came to a sudden stop as well and almost fell. Mom says to the little guy, “you shouldn’t stop so fast”. One of the reasons for wearing a helmet all the time, done up, is you never know what is going to happen when. Let’s change the outcome, Dad falls, the helmet flies off and he smacks his head. What would mom say?

Kimberley RCMP report

Cranbrook woman takes part in cross-

country bike rideBarry CouLter

A Cranbrook woman is back from a fundrais-ing adventure that took her and a team of cy-clists across the country.

Barb Wilhite took part in the fifth annual Sears National Kids Cancer Ride, which aimed to raise $1 mil-lion for kids afflicted with cancer.

Wilhite went along the 17-day trek as part of the support team, driv-ing an RV that accompa-nied the 25 cyclists from coast to coast.

“We started out from Vancouver, dipping our wheels in the Pacific, and made our way

across the country to Halifax, where we dipped our wheels in the Atlantic,” Wilhite said.

The Sears National Kids Cancer Ride is one of the biggest charity cy-cling events on behalf of childhood cancer in the world. Wilhite said 100 per cent of all funds raised through dona-tions goes to facilities dedicated to children living with cancer. So far, of that million-dollar goal, $756,000 has been raised, with more pledg-es expected.

The team left Van-couver on September 5, and finished in Halifax September 21, after more than 6,000 kilome-tres. The journey rough-ly followed the Trans-Canada Highway, al-though Wilhite said the group was routed along

less busy secondary roads for safety’s sake.

The group’s day got going at 5:30 a.m. each day with breakfast, fol-lowed by a group meet-ing. “Each day we heard a story about a specific child who was either liv-ing with cancer, had

succumbed to cancer, or had won the fight with cancer” Wilhite said. “And that day’s ride would be dedicated to that child.

“It made each day very emotional, and personal.”

The ride stopped in

150 communities along the way, and Wilhite said they got great re-ception and support wherever they went. They participated in community events and visited pediatric oncol-ogy centres and hospi-tals.

This was Wilhite’s first time on the ride. Her brother has been doing it for five years, and his son, Wilhite’s nephew, also got in-volved in the inaugural ride in 2008.

“I had previous vaca-tion time planned” she

said. “I got home on Sunday evening, and left Monday morning for Vancouver.

“When I got to Van-couver, I only knew my brother, but everybody took me under their wing. For such a large group of people (riders and support personnel) we were pretty like-minded. We shared this common goal.

“I would definitely go back, and do it again,” she said.

Provincial rcMP rePortsspecial delivery

Last Saturday evening at approximately 9:00 p.m. members of the Shawnigan Lake RCMP responded to a report of youths partying in the area of the ‘Rock Quarry’ located off Thain Road in Cobble Hill, B.C.

When officers arrived in the area, they located a vehicle in the ditch. An officer remained with the ve-hicle while the others patrolled the area in an effort to locate the vehicle occupants. While conducting these patrols, officers observed a white car driving up Thain Road in the direction of the reported party. When the car approached the officer who had re-mained with the vehicle in the ditch, the officer signaled for the car to stop, including yelling at the driver to stop through his open window as the car passed the officer. The car failed to stop. The offi-cer returned to her police car, activated the emer-gency equipment and caught up with the car fur-ther down Thain Road at which time the car pulled over and stopped.

The driver was identified as a 17 year old male from Shawnigan Lake, who was the registered owner of the car, and sole occupant. He had a class 7 driver’s licence.

Upon being informed that he was to be prohib-ited from driving, the male became upset and at-tempted to grab his driver’s licence back from the officer. When this attempt failed, the male sped off from the officer, crossing the road and almost col-liding with a tree. The driver then did a u-turn to face in the direction of the officer who was return-ing to her police car. As the car was coming to-wards the officer, she realized she would not have time to get into her vehicle, and started towards the passenger side of the police vehicle. As the officer passed the front of the police car, the suspect car passed the police car at approximately 50-60 km/hr and less then a foot from the driver’s side of the police vehicle.

The car fled from the scene. Members attended

the driver’s residence where they located the car abandoned in a wooded area of the property. Other occupants of the residence confirmed the car had ar-rived home at a high rate of speed and was driven into the wooded area. A Police Dog Service Team was called to the scene in an effort to locate driver. An ex-tensive search covering 4 kilometres and lasting ap-proximately 3 hours did not locate the driver.

At approximately 2:00 a.m. the driver arrived at the detachment, accompanied by his mother. The male was arrested for Dangerous Operation of a Motor Ve-hicle.

street racingAt approximately 4:00 p.m. on Saturday Septem-

ber 22, 2012, RCMP Fraser Valley Traffic Services re-sponded to a complaint of four vehicles that appeared to be street racing on Hwy #1 in the east bound lanes at #3 Rd.

Fraser Valley Traffic Services officers observed the high end vehicles as they passed through the Chilli-wack area. Three of the four vehicles were observed attempting to block the traffic from passing, by driving slowly in the travel portion of the highway. Racing drivers will work together to prevent other traffic from passing to allow the racing vehicles a clear area to gain high rates of speed. Two of the vehicles were safely pulled over by officers and the third associated vehi-cle returned to the area.

A 2013 Audi S5, 2013 Land Rover and 2011 BMW 328i were all impounded. The drivers of the vehicles, 19-20 year old males currently living in Richmond, BC, were charged with drive without reasonable con-sideration which carries a $196.00 fine and had their licenses immediately suspended for 15 days with the possibility of further suspension. Only one driver had a valid BC class 5 drivers licence. The other two driv-ers had Chinese National drivers licences valid in BC only while they attended school.

Not sure about the whole

digital thing?

MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2012 DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

A European country has introduced an exciting new technological advance that is sure to literally rock your socks

off. Blacksocks are socks that literally sort

themselves! The new tall socks have a mi-crochip that links to your iPhone and de-livers you a bevy of information on every-thing you ever wanted to know about your socks.

A quick query of the Townsman editorial staff revealed a number of excit-ing things we’d all like to know about our socks, and now can thanks to the Blacksocks app should we be willing to spend our salaries on $189 space-socks.

The top responses were pattern, colour and style. All of which can be done thanks to the helpful “app” that evolution gave us: the human eye. But in the 21st century, relying on our peepers alone isn’t good enough. We need that technology avail-able in an iPhone app.

Blacksocks come equipped with a mi-crochip that will beep if it’s close to its match. Now, I must note the socks are all black, so one might ponder why you can’t just mis-match them without anyone be-

coming wise to your hotfootery — but this is 2012! We have technology to prevent us from committing such a “faux-paw.”

I must admit I hate sorting socks, but I do love the wonderful patterns available in the sock world. I spend hours doing the back-breaking work and I have often won-dered in the midst of the sorting fracas, as I

wipe the accumulated sweat from my brow, why there wasn’t an easier way.

But now there is! Never again will I have to cancel appointments because of a mix up at the laundromat or the loss of a sock or two.

Never will I wonder how many times I have washed my socks be-fore, or whether they are experiencing wear and tear. I once wore socks until my big toe burst through, but now my iPhone app will tell me exactly when that will hap-pen before I experience the embarrass-ment of a one-toe peak out of my Birken-stocks.*

The founder of Blacksocks says “It gives you more information on the sock than ever before!”

When your socks arrive, you will need to set them up with a mate from the pack-age using the app for your phone and the

Sock Sorter remote. Unfortunately the technology in your new socks is way to advanced for the actual iPhone, but it will display other information on your socks.

Have you ever needed to make sure your right sock stays on your right foot? Your iPhone will tell you the exact foot your sock should be on.

But what if you lose your socks mate? Don’t worry you can break up your pairs with the click of a button, and your iPhone will adjust accordingly. Because remem-ber – just because you can easily match the identical socks on your own, having a re-cord of this activity is important.

Some day, when our generations are long gone, I predict future humans will be able to access the information available through the Sock Sorter app and get a real glimpse of life in 2012.

Seriously, we can make self sorting socks, but we still can’t cure cancer? Our priorities as a global community are way off.

*Note: I am vehemently against the fash-ion “faux-paw” of socks with sandals, but needed the imagery to prove my point. I do not condone socks being worn with any type of sandals.

Self-sorting socks - hallelujah!

OpiniOn/EvEnts

Mat the w FisherPostmedia News

There has been much ado about the decision by Britain and Canada to share embassies and consulates in

some of the planet’s more obscure but nev-ertheless important places.

The discussion in Canada has largely centered on how Ottawa might somehow once again come under Britain’s danger-ous imperial sway because of a few new sleeping arrangements. A couple of critics saw it as another example of how Prime Minister Stephen Harper is gobsmacked by Canada’s royal connections to Britain.

The decision to pool some diplomatic logistics and other resources will have ab-solutely nothing to do with the foreign policies of either country. Canadian diplo-mats will continue to act according to in-structions issued in Ottawa. British diplo-mats will do what London directs them to do. All Canada and Britain are actually doing is sharing space and perhaps some consular duties in capitals where one or other of the countries does not have an embassy.

Rather than fearing fallout from British diplomacy, which has little of the gravitas that it used to because its standing in the world is so diminished, this announce-ment can just as easily be read as Canada agreeing to help bail out an old friend who can no longer manage to pay its own way in the world. After all, Canada is one of the world’s great economic success stories and is ascendant. Britain’s finances, on the other hand, are in a parlous state and the country’s outlook is gloomy at best.

As a few retired diplomats have noted, sharing diplomatic posts or consular re-sponsibilities has actually been a fact for

years. When I was arrested in Maputo, as the capital, Lourenco Marques became known during Mozambique’s communist revolution in 1975, it was a good-hu-moured junior British consul, Baron Charles de Chassiron, much later Vice-Marshal of the Diplomatic Corps, who came to my rescue because Canada had no embassy there. Upon meeting me de Chassiron dryly noted that I seemed to be “in a spot of bother” and promised to “sort me out,” which he quickly did. As I recall, his wife provided a tasty Portuguese ice cream cake to lift my spirits.

Canada has long had similar consular arrangements in place in Southeast Asia with Australia. When I wanted to speak with a Canadian pederast who had been incarcerated in what was said to be Cam-bodia’s worst jail awaiting a mountain of charges involving young boys, it was a woman from the Australian embassy with a flair and ingenuity that I think few Cana-dian diplomats would have shown, who played a confidence game to con the jail-ers into believing that I was a Canadian diplomat bringing in food for the accused.

The construction worker from north-ern Alberta did not spurn the food but he snubbed me for about 10 minutes before realizing that if he wanted to speak any English that day I was the only game in town. What followed, as rats scurried about under our feet, was an interview with one of the most pathetic, delusional men I have ever had the misfortune to meet.

Clearly none of the assistance rendered to me by Britain or Australia in Mozam-bique and Cambodia had any effect on Canada’s foreign policies regarding any of these countries. What the British and Aus-

tralian legations provided was practical assistance. The only difference that I can see between those days and today is that the words “a Canadian citizen is a British subject” or “un citoyen canadien est un sujet britannique,” which greatly aggra-vated some French Canadians, no longer appear in Canadian passports. These terms finally disappeared from passports in 1977, although this particular legal sta-tus had probably disappeared when the Canadian Citizenship Act was passed in 1947.

Even so, the back inside cover of all Canadian passports still states that Cana-dians in distress should avail themselves of British diplomatic or consular services in places where Canada has no office and the United Kingdom does. In italicized let-ters on the front inside cover of current passports it also still declares that “the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada re-quests, in the name of Her Majesty the Queen, all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be nec-essary.” Mind you, the Her Majesty being referred to is the Queen of Canada, not Britain.

During tough economic times when all governments are trying to get better value for money and after Liberal and Conser-vative governments have been criticized for not being quick enough off the mark to exploit new opportunities in Asia and Af-rica, it makes sense in a few remote locales for Canada to share office space and lodg-ings with countries such as Britain whose business practises and security arrange-ments for embassies we can trust and who in turn can trust us.

Sharing embassies makes practical sense

Letters to the editorreligion, science

In his Sept. 21 column, Rev. Yme Woensdregt says the book of Genesis is not a science text.

Yet the Bible contains references that anticipate scientific discovery by hun-dreds, and in some cases, thousands of years.

A spherical earth is implied in Isaiah 40:22 (“circle of the earth”) suspended in space (Job 26:7).

The expression “stretched out” is used several times to explain the process by which God created the universe, consis-tent with cosmologists’ present under-standing of an expanding universe.

Job 38:16 mentions “springs of the sea”, unknown until their discovery in 1977 (hy-drothermal vents).

Matthew Maury discovered the oceans have many paths or currents, like rivers flowing through the sea. He wrote the first book on oceanography and became known as “the pathfinder of the seas”. Maury got the idea about ocean currents from reading Psalm 8:8.

Ecclesiastes 1:7 describes the earth’s hydrological (water) cycle: “All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again.”

Crick and Watson are the co-discover-ers of the thread-like DNA molecule.

Yet thousands of years ago the psalmist wrote: “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” (Psalm 139:13). This verse antici-

pates that we are literally knitted or woven together at the molecular level.

Woensdregt writes in his Feb. 10 col-umn: “In fact, I see no contradiction be-tween the opening chapters of Genesis and the science of evolution. I affirm strongly that Christians can believe in a creative, life-giving God, and also accept the scientific truthfulness of evolution.”

Phillip Johnson (“Darwin on Trial”) says naturalists define words like “evolu-tion” and “science” in such a way that nat-uralism is true by definition. He com-mented in World magazine: “Evolutionary science is based on naturalism and draws philosophical conclusions to that base. That’s why any theistic evolution is inher-ently superficial. It leads people into natu-ralistic thinking, and they don’t realize it.” (Nov. 22, 1997, p.13)

The Sept. 24 Townsman includes the article, “New fossil site found at Burgess Shale”. How do paleontologists explain fos-sils of soft-bodied sea animals such as Opabinia and Hallucinogenia, in view of their argument that soft body tissues of missing intermediate forms didn’t fossil-ize?

taken it upon themselves to plant, water, and maintain the flower boxes along the main street through Marysville, adding to the appeal of our community core. Their dedication to this hasn’t gone unnoticed. Thanks Heather and Keith.

enough is enoughAfter following our provincial and fed-

eral politicians’ spendings over the years, Canadians have wondered how much is enough. Huge salaries, huge expense ac-counts, huge separation bonuses, and huge pensions.

Then we are hit by our favourite pas-time in winter, NHL hockey players on strike over millions and millions of dollars. When is enough money enough?

Where are the Glenn Halls, Gordie Howes and Stan Mikitas who played tough, tough hockey for far less than your average player of today? Where are the Lougheeds, Diefenbakers, Pearsons and WAC Bennets who served the people and not them-selves.

It is time for the fans and taxpayers to say enough is enough. The true winners are the minor and junior hockey players and all the great people who help our less fortunate Canadians to enjoy being a human being.

A lack of discipline factored into both Ice games, as the Regina Pats fell 4-1 at the hands of the hometown team on Friday, but a deadly power play from the Hurricanes allowed Le-thbridge to double up 4-2 against Kootenay on Saturday.

The Ice also cut down to the limit of three 20-year-olds by dealing forward Elgin Pearce to the Medicine Hat Tigers for a fifth round pick in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft on Saturday (see below).

Goaltender Macken-zie Skapski earned his first win as a starter against the Pats, while backup Wyatt Hoflin got his first taste of the regu-lar season during the tilt against Lethbridge.

The Ice opened the contest with the Pats by introducing the team to the crowd of 2,531 at Western Financial Place in the first home game of the new season.

Sam Reinhart ended the game with two late goals and an assist, while Erik Benoit and Brock Montgomery pro-vided the other offence as the franchise picked up it’s 600th career vic-tory.

Trent Ouellette scored the lone goal for the Pats.

Skapski made 19 stops, while Teegan Sa-cher turned the puck away 18 times for Regi-na.

Regina was without head coach Pat Conach-er, who is currently back in his hometown of Cal-gary, dealing with an undisclosed personal

matter.The tone was set

early in the game, when Ice defenceman Tanner Faith took a hard hit from Henry Hardarson along the boards inside the Kootenay zone. De-fensive partner Mike Simpson went in for ret-ribution as most of the players paired up into shoving matches.

Ice forward Jon Mar-tin ended up dropping the mitts with Tye Hand, which earned them each a fighting major and a game ejection for being the second guys in.

“Simmer [Simpson] did a really good job of defending one of our teammates and Marty [Martin] stepped up as well,” said Benoit. “That gets all the boys fired up on the bench and it’s re-ally good to see.”

Benoit himself struck first on a solo effort late in the opening frame, stuffing the puck past Sacher at the corner of the net.

Cracks began to show in the discipline of the Pats in the second peri-od.

Sacher pounced on a flubbed pass in the slot from his defenceman while killing a penalty, but that didn’t stop Ice forward Jordyn Boyd from having a whack at it. That irritated the Re-gina skaters on the ice and an scrum formed, which ended with an-other Pats jersey in the sin bin.

The Ice, with a two-man advantage, capital-ized when Montgomery took a pass from the side of the net, dragged it to his forehand and roofed it over Sacher’s shoulder.

Skapski made some big saves to preserve Kootenay’s lead against Pats forward Chandler Stephenson, who got two chances all alone in front of the net in the third period.

“We got our first win and it’s a step of prog-ress, our team played well today and I thought my personal game took a stride of progress, compared to my last two games,” said Skapski.

Reinhart got his first goal of the regular sea-son late in the third pe-riod by picking up the garbage in front of the net after Jakub Prochaz-

ka drove the puck to the crease.

Regina answered with their lone goal a minute later when Ouel-lette jammed away at a puck in Skapski’s pads after a save on a shot from the blue line.

Hardarson got in-volved in his second scrap of the night with Ice defeceman Jeff Hubic, after the Koote-nay player made a big hit in the offensive zone corner.

Hubic started the game on defence, but moved into the forward ranks to cover the ab-sence of Martin after his

ejection.Reinhart got his sec-

ond of the game within the final 60 seconds on the power play, taking a feed from Collin Shirley to snipe a shot into the top corner.

Former Ice forward Adam Rossignol made a return to his old home barn as part of the Pats lineup, which picked him up after the Swift Current Broncos re-leased him after training camp.

The following night, it was the Ice’s turn to come unglued as undis-ciplined penalties sunk their opportunity for an-

other home win.Despite the loss, Hol-

fin looked good in his debut, as there wasn’t much he could’ve done about some of the Hur-ricanes’ powerplay goals.

He made 25 saves, while Ty Rimmer, who minded the net for Leth-bridge, stopped 16 shots.

The Ice grabbed the lead for the second con-secutive game when Jag-ger Dirk snapped a sharp angle shot high over the shoulder of Rimmer, who was ac-quired from the Tri-City Americans in the offsea-son.

However, Jaimen Yakubowski responded early in the second peri-od, scoring from the slot after taking a pass from behind Hoflin’s net.

Montgomery scored his second goal of the weekend and put the Ice ahead five minutes later, settling the puck in front of Rimmer and wiring a low shot into the corner.

The Ice started a march to the penalty box afterwards, as Dirk took an interference and high-sticking penalties, while Tanner Faith got whistled for interfer-ence in between.

Pearce traded to Medicine Hat Tigers for fifth-round draft pickTRE VOR CR AWLEY

Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice have resolved their 20-year-old situation, cutting down to three overagers over the weekend by trading forward Elgin Pearce to the Medicine Hat Ti-gers for a fifth-round pick in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft.

Pearce spent the

last three years with the Ice playing as a centerman and collect-ed a total of 72 points in 186 career games.

The native of Port Coquitlam also ap-peared in 26 career playoff games, tallying eight points.

He was part of the championship-w in-ning team in 2011 that collected the fran-

chise’s third league title.

Pearce was the vic-tim of a numbers game, as the club had to pare down to three overag-ers between himself, Brock Montgomery, Joey Leach and Drew Czerwonka.

While Leach, Mont-gomery and Pearce have been playing, Cz-erwonka recently

stepped back out onto the ice last Monday in his first practice of the new season after com-

ing into training camp with an undisclosed upper body injury.

Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill said the deal was the best fit for both Pearce and the team.

“The move on Pearce was something that management and the coaching staff de-cided that we felt we needed strong leader-

ship...” said McGill.“Czerwonka being

hurt, and almost ready to play, when a deal comes around, you can’t wait and say that we need to see some-body play—that deal might not be there next week, so you have to take it when it comes.”

Pearce will join up with three other 20-year-olds on the Ti-

gers roster, and head coach and general manager Shaun Clous-ton will have to make some overager deci-sions himself by the Oct. 11 deadline.

Medicine Hat’s 20 year-olds include Winger Kale Kessy up front, while Alex The-riau and Derek Ryck-man patrol the blue line.

Elgin Pearce


SportS

Daniel Johnston put a point shot past Hoflin on a two-man advan-tage to tie up the game and Russell Maxwell capitalized on a back-door pass on another powerplay to put Leth-bridge in the lead.

Maxwell scored

again from the slot on another power play in the third period, notch-ing his fourth and final point of a monster night from the 18-year-old.

Discipline from the Ice bench was lacking for most of the final frame, starting with an

early check-from-be-hind penalty by Jaedon Descheneau.

Albin Blomqvist and Jon Martin exchanged pleasantries after the the Hurricanes’ de-fenceman didn’t like a hit from the Ice forward on a teammate. Martin ended up in the box for charging, while Koote-nay defenceman Joey Leach was tossed with a 10-minute misconduct for arguing with the of-ficial.

Everything fell apart afterwards on a missed

call off a high-stick on Montgomery in the Hurricanes’ zone.

The Ice forward, hunched over with his face in his hands, skat-ed back towards his bench, but took excep-tion with some chatter coming from Leth-bridge side and reached across the boards to take some swings at the offender.

That set off a line brawl as everyone grabbed a dance part-ner and started swing-ing.

“We lacked disci-pline tonight,” said Ice head coach Ryan Mc-Gill. “We played a very solid first period and we didn’t play the same way [after], knowing Le-thbridge was going to come out even harder.

“We lacked disci-pline with penalties and we lacked discipline with the way we need to play to be successful.”

The Ice have a week off before facing the Prince Albert Raiders next Sunday at Western Financial Place at 6 p.m.

The Kimberley Dyna-miters split their week-end schedule, losing 7-5 on the road to the Gold-en Rockets, but recover-ing at home with a 5-4 win over the visiting Princeton Posse.

Jared Marchi and Taylor McDowell both had four-point nights in Golden on Friday, but their efforts couldn’t propel the Nitros to the win.

Backup Justin Miller got the start, making 25 saves, while Rockets goaltender Danny Todo-sychuk earned the win by stopping 20 shots.

It was a relatively tame affair, as Golden capitalized once in three opportunities on the power play while deny-ing the Nitros on all three of their chances.

Both teams traded a pair of goals in the open-ing frame, as McDowell and Sam Nigg scored for Kimberley, while Josh Jewell and Keith Wake responded for Golden.

It was more of the same in the second frame, with Jacob Bergeron scoring twice for Golden, while Dustin Long and Marchi an-swered for the Nitros.

Connor Beauchemin was the third period hero

for the Rockets, posting a hat trick, while the Dyna-miters offence splut-tered, with only Marchi finding the back of the net.

A better result await-ed Kimberley in their home barn on Saturday night as they defeated the Posse 5-4.

The Nitros scored by committee as Marchi, Riley Hellekson, Connor Kutzner, Erik Buckley and Isaac Schacher all found the back of the net.

Jeremy Mousseau earned the start for Kim-berley, stopping 40 shots, while Jack Burgart stood in net for the Posse, turn-

ing away 19 shots.Marchi and Hellek-

son both scored in the latter half of the first pe-riod, while Kaley Boyle answered for the Posse on a power play with two minutes to go.

Kutzner and Buckley found the net in the sec-ond period, while Kyle Raymond replied for Princeton.

Riding a 4-2 lead going into the third peri-od, Kimberley scored again when Schacher posted a goal within the opening minute.

However, the Nitros came close to blowing it by allowing Brett Perrine and Lane Erickson to an-

swer for the Posse, but Princeton couldn’t mount a comeback, even with an extra at-tacker in the final min-ute.

After the weekend ac-tion, the Nitros are tied with the Creston Valley Thunder Cats for first place in the Eddie Moun-tain Division and are in a pack of five other teams tied for fifth place overall in the KIJHL.

Kimberley will have a home-and-home series with the Rockets next weekend, starting with a tilt at home in the Civic Centre on Friday before heading up to Golden on Saturday.

Europe mounts comeback, wins Ryder Cup

Europe’s Nicolas Colsaerts and Luke Donald watch as team captain Jose Maria Olazabal kisses the Ryder Cup at the closing ceremony.

doug FergusonAssociated Press

MEDINAH, Ill. - Eras-ing some of their worst Ryder Cup memories, the Europeans wore the image of Seve Ballester-os on their sleeves and played their hearts out Sunday at Medinah to match the greatest comeback in history and head home with that precious gold trophy.

Europe got its pay-back for Brookline. Mar-tin Kaymer gave Ger-man golf redemption for Kiawah Island.

Jose Maria Olazabal squeezed his eyes and fought back tears when Kaymer holed a 6-foot par putt - about the same length that coun-tryman Bernhard Langer missed at Kiawah in 1991 - to beat Steve Stricker and give Europe the point it needed to keep the cup.

Tiger Woods missed a 3 1/2-foot par putt on the 18th hole and con-ceded a par to Francesco Molinari that halved their match, that extra half-point making it a clear-cut win for Europe,

14 1/2-13 1/2.Woods and Stricker,

the anchors in the line-up, didn’t win a single match at Medinah.

“This one is for all of Europe,” Olazabal said. “Seve will always be present with this team. He was a big factor for this event for the Euro-pean side, and last night when we were having that meeting, I think the boys understood that

believing was the most important thing. And I think they did.”

Ian Poulter was the first to embrace Olaza-bal, which was only fit-ting.

It was Poulter who gave Europe hope Satur-day evening when he made five straight bird-ies to turn a loss into a win and swing momen-tum in Europe’s favour. Poulter was up to his fist-

pumping, eye-bulging tricks again on the final day, winning the last two holes in his match against U.S. Open cham-pion Webb Simpson.

And he had plenty of help. Europe’s top five players in the lineup all won, including Rory Mc-Ilroy, who was lucky to be playing. McIlroy kept thinking his match was at 12:25 p.m. - it was list-ed in Eastern time, not

Central - and he needed a police escort to get to the course with 10 min-utes to spare. Then, he came up with key birdies to hand Keegan Bradley his first loss of the week.

The biggest match might have belonged to Justin Rose. He was on the verge of losing to Phil Mickelson when Rose holed a 12-foot par putt to halve the 16th, made a 35-foot birdie putt from the back of the 17th green to win the hole, and then closed out Mickelson with a 12-foot birdie on the last hole.

Six of the 12 matches went to the 18th hole on Sunday. The Americans won only one of them.

The Americans also rallied from a four-point deficit to win in 1999 at Brookline. This was dif-ferent, though. The Americans won big in those early matches. At Medinah, so many of them could have gone either way.

It was so close, so tense, that either side could have won the Ryder Cup down to the very end.

NHL, locked-out players meet for third straight day

ir a PodellAssociated Press

NEW YORK - The NHL and the players’ association met for a third straight day Sun-day, and again avoided the troublesome money issues that are fueling the ongoing lockout.

“We did not discuss core economic issues, as was the plan,” NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr said after meeting for five hours with the NHL. “We dis-cussed health and safe-ty, drug testing, includ-ing more discussion of drug testing, medical care etc. Also a number of things in the CBA legal area of player movements.”

The drug policy was a key component of talks Friday when the sides got together for the first time since the NHL imposed the lock-out on Sept. 16.

On Saturday, the sides focused on clarifi-cations of definitions of what makes up hockey-related revenue - a pot that exceeded $3 bil-lion.

“It was a productive day. We made some progress in some areas,” Fehr said Sunday. “I would say it’s good that we were talking. It’s true that we could’ve done this last week or a week before or a week before that, but it’s a lot better than doing it three weeks from now.”

Because of difficulty in finding common

ground on how to split up that money, the league and union in-stead concentrated all weekend on secondary issues that will also be included in any new agreement.

“I hate to sound like a broken record, but we need some movement on the economic is-sues. We need some movement on the sys-tem issues,” NHL Dep-uty Commissioner Bill Daly said. “We need them to be scheduled as the subject of a meeting, and right now the union is not pre-pared to do that.”

Negotiations on Sunday were conduct-ed at the league office without NHLPA Execu-tive Director Donald Fehr and NHL Com-missioner Gary Bett-man. They met private-ly Friday and Saturday, away from the other group negotiations.

There was a thought that talks might contin-ue Monday, but that doesn’t seem likely as the NHL wants to meet internally with its clubs before getting back to-gether with the players’ association.

“I hate to sound like a broken record, but

we need some movement on the economic issues.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You alternate between optimism and a trancelike state. Some of you might feel beaten down or confused. This ambivalence will even out, given time. Honor your feelings, and understand that they are real when they occur. Tonight: Consider a bud-get revision. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could have many ideas, yet isolating the correct path might be more important than you realize. Know that you need to listen to your instincts. You will find the answer quickly and will act accordingly. Unless a project is practical, nix it. Tonight: Your beaming smile draws in many people. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Where you are is where you want to be, for now. Surround yourself with friends and/or associates who offer different perspectives. A meeting could be more important than you realize. You might be worrying a little too much about the outcome of a situation. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Accept your role as nurturer and leader. You might feel undermined in a creative venture or by a loved one. Mixed messages could be at the core of the problem. Wait until later today or even tomorrow before exploring the issue at hand. Tonight: Find your friends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your broad perspective is needed. First, make sure you are not reacting to a personal attack. You could be concerned that miscommunication could throw plans up in the air. Do what you need in order to detach from the situation. Your actions will change the game. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You tend to interact rather intensely with others. Discussions revolve around a partnership as well as a separate issue involving travel and possibly education. This period favors brainstorming over taking action. Trust your judgment. Tonight: Go for some lightness and good mu-sic. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might decide to start counting how many complicated people are

in your life. Dealing with these indi-viduals is a handful, and you will en-counter some of them today. These interactions might have you feeling off-kilter. Honor your feelings, and use your intellect in order to respond effectively. Tonight: A close conversa-tion. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Recognize your own bias when deal-ing with someone you generally look up to. You might have mixed feel-ings, presently. Separate your energy from the immediate issue at hand. Fundamentally, you are not speak-ing the same language, and this cre-ates a misunderstanding. Tonight: Try dinner and a talk. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Tap into your creativity rather than absorb someone’s negativity and/or fear. You know what the possibilities are, and you’ll start to see even more. Dare to make a dream a reality, espe-cially if it involves a domestic issue. Your imagination flows through nearly everything you touch. To-night: Add in a little friendly warmth. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to understand what a family member expects from you. Real estate and domestic matters

could weave together. You might be under more pressure than you realize to maintain a strong presence and deal with a situation at home. Tap into your vision of what you want to happen. Tonight: Let your hair down. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You express yourself with clarity when addressing a misunderstand-ing or a difference in viewpoints with an important person in your daily life. Good feelings will prevail between you and a loved one. You consider this person to be part of your family, even if he or she is not. Tonight: Hunker down at your pad. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be concerned about whether you are pitching in enough or perhaps too much. Look within yourself. If you have resentment, you are doing too much. If you ex-perience guilt, you need to do more. Refuse to take on someone else’s opinions. You know who you are. Tonight: A leisurely chat over a meal. BORN TODAY Actor Richard Harris (1930), actress Julie Andrews (1935), actor George Peppard (1928) ***

Dear Annie: My mother-in-law blatantly favors her oldest granddaughter, “Miranda,” to the exclusion of the other four. She says Miranda is the “good granddaughter” and her 17-year-old sister, “Amy,” is the “trouble-maker.” I believe that Amy acts out partly because of the negative label she has been saddled with for years. Meanwhile, Miranda can do no wrong. She recently persuaded her grandmother to let her boyfriend move into the family home while her father was out of town. My husband and I live out of state. When we visit the relatives, my mother-in-law spends the entire time talking about Mi-randa’s glowing character and wonderful achievements. Our three kids only see their grandmother twice a year. You’d think she’d make an effort to get to know them a little. This favoritism does not do anything to promote family relationships. Our kids joke about their pecking order in the family and actually rank all the grandchildren through Grandma’s eyes. They realize that Miranda is No.1 and Amy is No. 5 and that they fall somewhere in between. How do we ap-proach my mother-in-law about her favorit-ism, letting her know that it actually makes the other children resent both Miranda and her? -- Mom of Nos. 2 Through 4. Dear Mom: It may not help, but please ask your husband to speak to his mother. He should explain that her favoritism is obvious to everyone and that her strong preference for Miranda severely damages her relation-ships with the other grandchildren. Fortu-nately, your children have one another for support. They understand that Grandma is besotted with their cousin and that it is not a reflection on their character. It’s Amy who suffers the most. Please reach out to her. Dear Annie: I am the youngest of three children, and my parents are in their 80s. They both have myriad medical conditions. Since moving home, I got a new job and as-sumed the role of caregiver for my parents. I cook, shop, run errands, do laundry and take them to the doctor. My older sister, who lives out of state, visits often and jumps right in to help. She will even trim the bushes. My brother, however, I have no use for. He’s twice divorced, makes a six-figure income and travels extensively. He could easily do more for our parents, but his visits are infre-quent, and he stays less than two hours. The role of caregiver is one that should be shared equally and enthusiastically be-tween all siblings. It’s one of the most hon-orable things one can do. My brother un-derstands that. He just doesn’t want to do it. What’s the best way to get him to start pull-ing his own weight? -- Holding It Together in Indiana Dear Indiana: You and your sister are kind and compassionate. But you cannot force your brother to be the same. Instead, ask him to contribute financially to your par-ents’ care. Use the money to hire additional help around the house or to have a caregiver come so you can get a break. Hopefully, he’ll be relieved to help in a way that doesn’t re-quire his physical presence, and you will be less resentful. Dear Annie: This is for “Wondering,” who wanted to know how to ask his parents about his inheritance so he could plan his retirement. My mom passed away suddenly at the age of 64. Dad was devastated. A few years ago, he married a lovely lady and, at the age of 80, has rediscovered the joy of living. His obli-gation was to provide for me, teach me right from wrong and allow me the opportunity to acquire the skills to be employable. It is my job to raise my kids with the same love and values and provide for my own retire-ment. Dad has earned the right to enjoy the fruits of his labors, and I am delighted that he and my new stepmother are spending our inheritance. -- Glad To Be Dad’s Daugh-ter Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers col-umn.

Patrick QuinnAssociated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — The killing of an American service-man in an exchange of fire with allied Afghan soldiers pushed U.S. military deaths in the war to 2,000, a cold reminder of the per-ils that remain after an 11-year conflict that now garners little public interest at home.

The toll has climbed steadily in recent months with a spate of attacks by Afghan army and po-lice — supposed allies — against American and NATO troops. That has raised troubling questions about whether countries in the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan will achieve their aim of helping the government in Kabul and its forces stand on their own after most foreign troops depart in lit-tle more than two years.

``The tally is modest by the standards of war historically, but every fatality is a tragedy and 11 years is too long,’’ said Michael O’Hanlon, a fellow at the Brook-ings Institution in Washington. `Àll that is internalized, however, in an American public that has been watching this campaign for a long time. More newsworthy right now are the insider attacks and the sense of hopelessness they convey to many. ‘’

Attacks by Afghan soldiers or police — or insurgents disguised in their uniforms — have killed 52 American and other NATO troops so far this year.

``We have to get on top of this. It is a very serious threat to the campaign,’’ the U.S. military’s top officer, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, said about the insider threat.

The top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, was blunter.

`Ì’m mad as hell about them, to be honest with you,’’ Allen told CBS’ ``60 Minutes’’. `Ìt reverber-ates everywhere across the Unit-

ed States. You know, we’re willing to sacrifice a lot for this cam-paign, but we’re not willing to be murdered for it.’’

The insider attacks are consid-ered one of the most serious threats to the U.S. exit strategy from the country. In its latest in-carnation, that strategy has fo-cused on training Afghan forces to take over security nationwide — allowing most foreign troops to go home by the end of 2014.

As part of that drawdown, the first 33,000 U.S. troops withdrew by the end of September, leaving 68,000 still in Afghanistan. A deci-sion on how many U.S. troops will remain next year will be taken after the American presidential elections. NATO currently has 108,000 troops in Afghanistan — including U.S. forces — down from nearly 150,000 at its peak last year.

Like so many other deaths in Afghanistan, the latest were shrouded in confusion and con-flicting accounts.

On Sunday, U.S. officials con-firmed the deaths of two Ameri-cans, a service member and a ci-vilian contractor killed late Satur-day.

The fighting started when in-surgents attacked a checkpoint set up by U.S. forces in eastern Wardak province, said Shahidul-lah Shahid, a provincial govern-ment spokesman. He said the in-surgents apparently used mortars in the attack. The Americans thought they were under attack from their allies at a nearby Af-ghan army checkpoint and fired on it. The Afghan soldiers re-turned fire, Shahid said.

NATO did not say whether it considered this an `ìnsider’’ at-tack on foreign forces by Afghan allies.

According to the Afghanistan index kept by Brookings, about 40 per cent of the American deaths were caused by improvised ex-

plosive devices. The majority of those were after 2009, when Pres-ident Barack Obama ordered a surge that sent in 33,000 addi-tional troops to combat height-ened Taliban activity. The surge brought the total number of American troops to 101,000, the peak for the entire war.

According to Brookings, hos-tile fire was the second most common cause of death, ac-counting for nearly 31 per cent of Americans killed.

Tracking deaths of Afghan ci-vilians is much more difficult. Ac-cording to the U.N., 13,431 civil-ians were killed in the Afghan conflict between 2007, when the U.N. began keeping statistics, and the end of August. Going back to the U.S.-led invasion in 2001, most estimates put the number of Afghan civilian deaths in the war at more than 20,000.

The 2001 invasion targeted al-Qaida and its Taliban allies short-ly after the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, which claimed nearly 3,000 lives.

Victory in Afghanistan seemed to come quickly. Kabul fell within weeks, and the hardline Taliban regime was toppled with few U.S. casualties.

But the Bush administration’s shift toward war with Iraq left the Western powers without enough resources on the ground, so by 2006 the Taliban had regrouped into a serious military threat.

Obama deployed more troops to Afghanistan, and casualties in-creased sharply in the last several years. But the American public grew weary of having its military in a perpetual state of conflict, especially after the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq at the end of last year. That war, which began with a U.S.-led invasion in 2003 to oust Saddam Hussein, cost the lives of nearly 4,500 U.S. troops, more than twice as many as have died in Afghanistan so far.

U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan have surpassed 2,000, a grim reminder that a war which began nearly 11 years ago shows no signs of slowing down despite an American decision to begin the withdrawal of most of its combat forces.

VANCOUVER — Shipbuilding contracts, new liquefied natural gas plants and a booming mining sector are being hailed for keeping British Columbia afloat as worldwide econ-omies falter, but they bring along a topsy-turvy problem.

Jobs are expected to abound here in the next decade, but there won’t be enough trained workers to fill them.

Recognizing a looming labour shortage in industries from con-struction to natural resources, the provincial government has em-barked on a mission to make blue-collar work more attractive.

Those in the field say the B.C. Liberals’ plan is just the start of the heavy lifting needed to build up the necessary manpower.

``There’s no silver bullet to solv-ing the skills shortage, because the demographic issue that we’re all fac-ing ... has been creeping up on us and you can’t produce more kids overnight,’’ said Philip Hochstein, president of the Independent Con-tractors and Businesses Association of B.C., which represents 85 per cent of construction work done in the province.

The government is projecting that among the one million job openings expected by 2020, 43 per cent will require skilled workers. It predicts there will be a gap of 22,000 to 32,000 people in northern B.C. alone.

According to government figures, between 2010 and 2020, the prov-ince will require 435,490 technical or skilled workers with a college or trade certificate. That compares to a need for 364,070 professional work-ers with a university education.

Just under 200,000 workers with a high school diploma will be needed while those without a high school education will find just over 34,000 job openings.

More than a year after the B.C. Liberals unveiled their provincial

jobs plan, the premier followed up earlier this month with an additional plan to develop the requisite skills and training to fill the positions.

The range includes heavy-duty equipment technicians, carpenters, commercial transport mechanics, cooks, construction workers, electri-cians, metal fabricators, industrial mechanics, plumbers and sheet metal workers.

The training strategy strongly em-phasizes promoting careers in the trades, with a goal of boosting the number of high school graduates going into technical programs — in-stead of universities — by 50 per cent, among other initiatives.

Premier Christy Clark said the plan represents a ``fundamental change’’ to how young people are prepared for entering the workforce, though only $75 million has been unveiled as part of this year’s overall $1.9 billion advanced education budget.

The cash will be used to renovate facilities at both Okanagan College in Kelowna and Camosun College in Victoria, as well as fund upgrades to trades-related equipment at several other institutions.

It does not represent any new in-vestment, with some of the funds shifting from other spending areas within the education budget.

More so, the plan revolves around shifting traditional thinking about what professions should be valued by society, said Advanced Education Minister John Yap.

``The shift is this: We need to pro-mote the trades, and where there may have been a view that perhaps a career in trades is not desirable — that couldn’t be further from the truth,’’ Yap said.

``We’ve always placed a premium on doctor, dentist, lawyer ... but rare-ly does somebody wake up and say, ‘You know son? I’d really like you to learn how to weld aluminum,’’’ said Greg D’Avignon, president of the Business Council of B.C.

Heavy lifting needed to fill looming B.C.

labour shortage

tom FletcherBlack Press

VICTORIA – the B.C. government has reached a tentative agreement with its largest employee group, as the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union has recommend-ed acceptance of a two-year agree-ment with a four per cent raise.

Premier Christy Clark announced the settlement Friday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, after talks broke down in the spring and the BCGEU staged a series of strikes at liquor stores and government of-fices around the province.

BCGEU president Darryl Walker said the government dropped its

proposal to sell the Liquor Distribu-tion Branch warehouse and delivery system, which was “huge” for the union and a step towards privatizing government liquor stores as well.

Clark said the settlement meets the government’s “cooperative gains” bargaining mandate, where savings and efficiencies cover the costs of pay increases, but offered few details.

Walker said the 26,000-member union agreed to work with the gov-ernment to reduce sick days and find new efficiencies in operations that include ministry operations, social workers, and provincial prison and court services.

AssociAted PressLYON, France —

French cyclist Robert Marchand has ridden 100 kilometres in four hours 17 minutes and 27 seconds.

Doesn’t sound fast? Consider this: March-

and is 100 years old.Setting off on his Trek

racing bike around noon at a track in Lyon, Marchand covered the distance at an average pace of 23.3 km/h — not far off the 24.251 km/h pace he kept up to set

the world hour record for his age group in Swit-zerland last February.

No prior record for a centenarian riding 100 km exists, but cycling’s international governing body will recognize Marchand’s feat, French

cycling federation head David Lappartient said.

The president of Marchand’s cycling club says he’s an inspiration.

``He’s an example for humanity, he gives peo-ple hope,’’ said Gerard Mistler.

STOCKHOLM, Swe-den — A man convicted of smuggling in Sweden outwitted his jailers by sneaking in a friend to serve most of his year-long sentence, prison of-ficials said Friday.

The identity of the false convict was discov-ered only when he’d been released on proba-tion after serving about

two-thirds of his friend’s sentence ``sometime in 2008 or 2009,’’ Elisabeth Lager of Sweden’s Prison and Probation Service said.

Lager said the in-lieu convict came to serve the sentence with a false ID — a driving license in the name of the smug-gler friend but with his photograph. She de-clined to name either

man or give more details about the switch.

An international ar-rest warrant was issued for the real convict earli-er this year, Lager said, but declined to com-ment on why it took po-lice more than three years after the switch was discovered to issue the warrant. It was not clear if the smuggler’s friend would be pun-

ished for misleading prison authorities and assuming a false identi-ty.

The convict, who never served his term, was sentenced for a se-ries of smuggling offenc-es in southwestern Swe-den in 2008. Several media reports said he had fled to Asia and had paid his friend for his ``prison-sitting’’ service.

c A n A d i A n P r e s s

SHENZHEN, China — A pres-tigious award from the world’s largest magic organization has materialized for famed Winnipeg escape artist Dean Gunnarson.

Gunnarson has become the first performer of his kind to be given a Merlin — the highest honour bestowed by the New York-based International Society

of Magicians.The Merlin was presented for

best escape artist of 2012 and was handed out at an event this week in Shenzhen, China, where Gun-narson was to perform an escape from a roller-coaster track.

He had to free himself from chains and handcuffs in less than a minute and leap 10 me-ters to safety to avoid being hit by

the ride, which can go 135 kilo-metres an hour.

Gunnarson suffered a broken bone in his foot when he was clipped by a roller-coaster while trying the same stunt before.

Other notable Merlin winners include David Copperfield, Doug Henning, Siegfried and Roy, Penn and Teller and Criss Angel.

Winnipeger earns magical award after roller-coaster escape stunt in China

Dear Wendy:I would like to learn the answer

to two different situations that oc-curred in my youth and a couple of questions in the present.

When I was a young lad coming home from school my grandfather called me to sit with him. He gave me a watch and asked me to prom-ise that I would give this to my first born son. This prom-ise was fulfilled. Is my grandfather aware of the promise fulfilled and is he looking out for us?

An unusual occur-rence occurred when I was in my 20’s; I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. This occurred when I had just had an operation.

My present day question is; should my wife and I seriously con-sider downsizing and obtaining something more manageable in the foreseeable future?

Curious

Dear Curious:Yes, your promise was definitely

fulfilled and you honoured your promise to your grandfather. I ad-mire you for your honour and integ-rity in this situation. Your grandfa-ther did come down and visit quite often with all of you and he knows that you gave your son his watch.

He came to visit us today as we were doing a reading for you. I got some scattered bits and pieces of what he was saying because I am quite tired today. I do not know if any of this will make sense to you but this is what I was hearing. There was a girl child born and he wants you to know that he was there at her birth. He visited the child quite often when she was a baby.

He also told me that he has and is looking after a baby in heaven for you and your family. So you have to think if anyone that you know had an abortion or miscarriage in your immediate family. If this is the case then this is the baby he has.

He was also talking about a car I think the color was either maroon or red. I didn’t get anymore details about the car.

As I said before I am quite tired today and it would be best if you want to talk to your grandfather; to come and see us for a proper chan-nelling over to the other side.

We feel that you should seriously start thinking about downsizing this

year and make specific moves to downsize next year.

You talked about having an op-eration and during your operation you saw the light at the end of the tunnel. What is it specifically you would like to ask us about this oc-currence? I tried to phone you but there was no answer so you can e-mail me with the question if you

wish and I will try to put it in next week’s column.

Wendy

Dear Wendy:I was reading in

bed the other night and my daughter ap-

peared at the end of my bed. She looked so happy and peaceful and she was smiling at me. I stared at her and smiled back and then I blinked and she was gone. Am I los-ing my mind; was that my daughter at the end of my bed? I miss her so much and have been asking God to give me an answer and tell me she is okay for so many nights.

I took your advice and asked for what I want and need before I fall asleep and it seems to have worked for me in regards to my daughter. I feel so much peace and happiness since this happened and I know in my heart that she is okay and will be waiting for me when I arrive in heav-en.

Could you ask your guides if this really happened? If I ask God again will she come back and visit me? If she does I will let you know.

Feeling Grateful

Dear Feeling Grateful:I asked my guides for confirma-

tion if your daughter did come and visit you and the answer was a defi-nite yes.

I also asked my guides if you con-tinue to focus and ask your daughter to come and visit you again before you fall asleep, will she come. The answer was a definite yes.

They also told me that your daughter will start to come and visit you in your dreams. So have a piece of paper and pencil handy by your bedside and start writing down your dreams when you wake up. You will start to see a consistent pattern of visits from your daughter if you do this.

You have the ability to see many things in your dreams so work on that talent and ability that you have.
