BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff Whether it’s the sinking Canadian dol- lar or an inflation explosion, one truth is known: the City of Trail will not have a second bridge anytime soon. Trail council unanimously agreed Monday night that the cost to build the pipe/pedestrian bridge is way out of reach following five bids that were, on average, $5 million above the expected $10 million cost. Trail Mayor Mike Martin opened the council meeting, addressing the high ten- der prices made public during an Aug. 5 open tendering. “They are significantly above the budget- ed amount that had been approved by the residents of Trail through a referendum and the engineering estimate associated with that,” he began, referring to the Aug. 2014 referendum that allowed the city to borrow almost $5 million for the project. “I just want to assure you the situation is totally unacceptable and is taken very ser- iously by all members of council,” Martin continued. “I fully expected, in a few weeks from now, we could’ve actually seen the breaking of ground and the start to the new pipe/pedestrian bridge. So this has all been a huge disappointment.” But the upset doesn’t stop there. Martin questioned how Trail can move forward to replace the sewer interceptor, currently hanging on the Old Trail Bridge, with its partners in the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB). In October 2014, sewer partners in Rossland and Warfield agreed to fund $4.2 million toward replacing the ageing utility line on the old bridge with an aerial (pipe) line across the river. Trail agreed to pay $2.6 million as a regional entity, plus $6.2 million for the walking platform above the sewer pipe. The regional contract expires Aug. 31, said Martin, clarifying possible options of relocating the sewer line must soon be explored, as the matter is time sensitive. The planning stage for a new structure rolled ahead in May 2013, after the engin- eering design was awarded to Buckland and Taylor, a specialized bridge engineering firm based in North Vancouver. Those plans were updated earlier this year. “The other part of this we really need to understand is how this project got so far off track,” he reiterated. “We placed heavy reliance on the engineering company that undertook this route on our behalf and it was on this basis that the decision was made to proceed and take the matter to ref- erendum last year, and subsequently tender this year.” Contact the Times: Phone: 250-368-8551 Fax: 866-897-0678 Newsroom: 250-364-1242 Canada Post, Contract number 42068012 To view ALL of our listings, visit us online at greatertrailrealestate.com Thea Mario 250.231.1661 250.368.1027 RE/MAX All Pro Realty Ltd.

As the Trail Times continues to celebrate 120 years of report-ing local news, we’ve donned white gloves and browsed through historical newspapers, looking to highlight some of the City of Trail’s landmark events.
This month’s front page
reflects a decade of social change that happened in Trail, and the rest of North America, from 1965 to 1975.
During these years, Canadians were issued Social Insurance Cards for the first time, the government adopted a multi-culturalism policy, the Canada Pension Plan was established, the county inaugurated its cur-rent flag, “Trudeaumania” was still a thing, and union strikes were commonplace.
It was a time for the working man and growing acceptance of
all people who make up a com-munity.
We’ve chosen the Nov. 1, 1974 Trail Daily Times edition for one simple reason – the headline says it all.
“It’s Over” describes the heated 15-week battle between Cominco and striking Steelworkers in Trail, Kimberley and Salmo as well as 500-plus clerical members in the Association of Commercial and Technical Employees (ACTE)
union. Factually, the Trail local of United Steelworkers of America signed a new contract Oct. 16, but declined to return to the plant until a new ACTE agreement was signed.
The Trail Daily Times reported, “With 85 per cent in favour of going back to the grind, old Smoky will start up again after four months of hiber-nating with clear, calm summer days.”

Crews from Hil-Tech Contracting continued repairs on the river wall Tuesday afternoon as part of Trail’s ongoing restoration of the ageing flood-protector. Workers hoisted, hammered and levelled wooden forms into place before concrete pouring begins later this week.

Look down - way down. What do you see when you
visit businesses, shop-ping malls, parks, beaches or walking trails? We are often greeted by cigarette butts littering our communities, our pristine forest trails and our sandy beach-es. We also see butt litter near grassy road sides or slowly trickling down to our water drains.
Cigarette butts are ranked as one of Canada’s leading caus-es of litter. Cigarette filters are made of plas-tic so they can take up to fifteen years to bio-
degrade. That means there are cigarette fil-ters hanging around today that may even be from the 90s. Filters contain 160 toxic chemicals of which 60 can cause cancer and when they get wet those toxins can leach into our natural environment.
Our hot, dry sum-mers in combination with a forested land-scape make us espe-cially vulnerable to for-est fires that destroy much of our pristine wilderness and put our communities at risk. Province wide, since January 1, 2015 there have been a total of 279 fires attributed to smoking materi-als with total losses at almost $2.8 million. Are all fires caused by cigarette butts care-lessly flung from a hand? No, but many have been caused by discarded cigarettes. The Barriere fire in 2003 is one example of fire caused by a ciga-
rette - seventy homes and twenty six thou-sand hectares of forest were destroyed.
It’s concerning that some people continue to throw their still glowing cigarettes out of car windows or toss butts on the ground. So how can we address this and change the way we think and dis-pose of cigarette butts in a responsible way?
If you are a smoker and you are not ready to quit then the next best thing you can do is be responsible with your butts. There are safer ways to dispose of cigarette butts. You might choose to keep a water filled contain-
er in your car to help make sure the burn-ing butt is out. If you are out and about in the forest or on the street use a small tin container to collect your butts. Those small metal mint tins work great. If you are hiking, pack the extin-guished butts in and out with the rest of your garbage.
Please take personal responsibility for your butts – help prevent forest fires and protect our communities, our environment, and our wildlife.

Martin discussed the hiring of a third party to review the city’s internal processes as a way to identify what went wrong and why. Specifically, the independ-ent party will examine Trail’s direct involvement in the design and budget develop-ment of the bridge project.
“I just want to assure city staff that this isn’t a witch hunt,” he said. “This
council, and particularly myself as mayor, take full responsibility for what has occurred here. But I think it’s very incumbent upon us to make sure that we know what happened, and what we can do to avoid a repeat of this situation, especially with a project of this mag-nitude.”
Trail council agreed with the mayor and passed four recommendations. Those
include: rejecting all five tenders; advising the region-al district that the project wouldn’t be advancing; consulting legal counsel to recover engineering servi-ces and referendum costs; and launching an internal review of city staff.
Coun. Robert Cacchioni, Trail’s RDKB Sewer Committee representative, closed by expressing his disappointment with the
outcome of the project he’s worked on with regional partners for seven years.
The next sewer committee meeting is slated for Sept. 8.
“This will be a discus-sion but at this time I can’t tell you exactly what will happen,” said Cacchioni. “Hopefully we will be look-ing at some of the options, but it’s really unfortunate because this puts us back to 2008 again.”

The RCMP wish to remind the public to be diligent with secur-ity measures, follow-ing a rash of motor vehicle thefts and stolen licence plates off vehicles.
“Make sure your vehicle is locked at all times, do not leave anything of value in your vehicle, and never leave the keys to your vehicle in your
vehicle or in a location that is easily accessible to thieves,” Cpl. Darryl Orr of the detach-ment noted in a news release Tuesday. “Most of the incidents that have been investigated involve vehicles that were left unlocked, which is an open invi-tation for criminals.”
The Trail & Greater District RCMP are actively investigating these incidents.

An email scam is currently targeting local people advertis-ing rentals for Selkirk College students.
Those working the scam appear to be get-ting information from the Selkirk College web page listings of rental units available in the area. The col-lege hosts a space where those provid-ing or seeking accom-modations can post information, similar to a classified advertise-ment. The college is not involved in arran-ging these accommo-dations, that is left to the landlord and stu-dent. “This is a great service for both par-ties. We have received good feed back from landlords and stu-dents,” said Cathy Mercer, Selkirk College Director of Student Enrollment Services and Registrar.
U n f o r t u n a t e l y , someone has decid-ed to take advantage of the listings with a version of a cheque cashing scam. Wendy Voykin has received four of these fraudu-lent emails since post-ing her rental listing. “I was surprised at how far the contact with these people
went,” said Voykin of the exchange that involved numerous emails from a poten-tial renter claiming to be from England, pay-ment arrangements made by her business-man father through a third party and finally a cheque for $5000 arriv-ing at her home. The cheque was made to appear to have come from UBC, including a legitimate address. The father then claimed there was a mistake and UBC should not have sent her that amount and requested that she cash the cheque, keep the deposit amount, and send the remain-ing funds back to the student.
Voykin was not taken in by the scam, noticing several red flags along the way including some improper uses of English, that did not seem to fit with the scenario of a student and businessman from England.
She subsequently received three other emails from students claiming to be from Wales and Tanzania.
Voykin just wants others to know about the scam, so no one gets hurt. “There are people who might get burned, and be out
$5000 in this com-munity and there may be students that might not get housing because people will stop putting their names up any more,” she said. “It is an important service Selkirk provides. At the same time, I don’t want someone to get scammed.” She has notified Selkirk and UBC about the incident and has reported the fraud.
According to Cathy Mercer, Selkirk will be taking steps to alert those using the rental listings of the poten-tial scam. “We will take some extra measures to help students and landlords to pay more attention,” said Mercer. These steps will likely include the addition of some yellow warn-ing boxes on the web-site and an automated reply that will go out when someone posts a listing.
Mercer emphasized that most listings and responses are legitim-ate, but they do want to encourage anyone who has been approached with something suspi-cious to contact them right away. “We would like the community to keep the college informed,” said Mercer, “So we can help and warn others.”

The top is a cover for a light fixture, the middle an inexpensive vase, and the bottom, an older glass plate. Trail artisan Diane Sordi created the upcycled piece, called Garden Totem, for her “Warm Touches” collection. The Eldorado Street store offers unique wares handcrafted by local artisans.

BY TOM FLETCHERBlack Press
Parents are spending the money and feeling the love like never before from parties contesting the Oct. 19 federal election.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper expanded his favoured approach of direct payments, increasing the Conservative government’s child care bene-fit plan that has been com-pared to the former Family Allowance.
The increase was set up to produce bonus cheques to eli-gible parents in July, retro-active to the start of the year. Payments went up from $100 to $160 a month for each child under six, with a new $60 pay-ment for those aged seven to 17, payable to families regard-less of income or method of child care.
Liberal leader Justin Trudeau responded by prom-
ising a modified version that would phase out the benefit for high-income families and increase payments for the rest.
Building into its calcula-tions a proposed income tax cut for middle and low-income people, the party estimates a two-parent family with an income of $90,0000 and two children would receive $490 a month tax free, compared to the Conservative program of $275 a month after taxes.
The Liberals calculate that a single parent with $30,000 income and one child would
receive $533 a month, up from $440 under Conservative child benefit and tax rules.
NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has offered to retain the Conservative payments and expand Quebec’s subsid-ized daycare program across the country, with a maximum payment of $15 a day and a long-term goal of creating one million new spaces across the country.
Mulcair has said the Quebec program allowed 70,000 moth-ers to return to the workforce, and the NDP program would be available to private daycare operators as long as they are independent and not “big box” operations.
Green Party leader Elizabeth May is also offering a universal federally-funded child care program, including support for workplace daycare through a direct tax credit to employers of $1,500 a year.

OLIVER, B.C. - Hundreds of people who were forced to flee their homes in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley because of a wildfire are being allowed to return, but officials say they should be ready to leave again at a moment’s notice until the blaze is con-tained.
The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen says residents on the out-skirts of Oliver who were ordered to leave on Friday because of the Wilson Mountain fire were allowed to go home Saturday.
An evacuation order for another group residents south of the town, however, remains in effect, due to the Testalinden Creek fire.
The BC Wildfire Service says about 260 homes were evacuated due to the Wilson Mountain fire, which is burn-ing only a kilometre north of the town and had grown to two square kilometres on Saturday.
Provincial officials told a news confer-ence Saturday that the situation appeared less severe than it was a day earlier, as tem-peratures had dropped and winds decreased.
Residents return home
OLIVER FIRE
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SROCK CREEK, B.C.
- Days after a wildfire destroyed 30 homes in southeast British Columbia, rumoured video of a tossed ciga-rette that sparked the blaze hasn’t been found.
The Forests Ministry said Tuesday that investigators have reviewed the near-est highway camera in Rock Creek, about two kilometres from the spot where the fire broke out.
Ministry spokes-woman Vivian Thomas
said a B.C. Wildfire Service investigator spoke to a resident who reported the existence of a video but no foot-age has been located.
“No one has come forward with a video related to how the Rock Creek fire was started,” Thomas said.
She said anyone with information, photos or video should contact the wildfire service or the RCMP.
Fire information officer Mike McCulley said the video is “a rumour, as far as we can tell.”

OPINION
Housing costs driving youth out of Vancouver, into smaller B.C. centresSigns of the end of
summer are begin-ning to appear, and with it the back to
school sales are starting.Most retailers are fore-
casting that the back-to-school season will be bet-ter than in 2014. However, beside the Back to School sale signs are more Help Wanted signs –not only in retail stores but also in restaurants and estab-lishments. Students who took summer jobs leave them to go back to school, some of them early to give themselves a bit of a break before they hit the class-room.
Jobs in Metro Vancouver will be the hardest to fill, and the closer to the city centre a business is, the longer it will take. Most of the vacant positions are in smaller businesses, paying lower wages. Unless you are in a family with other earners, a low wage job
makes it very difficult to put a roof over your head in Vancouver.
Vancouver housing costs are well beyond the reach of an entry level service worker and yet home prices are continu-ing to rise. The alterna-tive, finding an affordable place to rent, is at least as challenging. You can find Help Wanted signs in Vancouver, but it is rare to see a For Rent sign.
Almost no units for rent
A vacancy rate of 4 to 5 per cent is considered a comfortable, balanced market. Vancouver’s is below one-half of 1 per cent. Units are snapped up as soon as they are listed. And this applies across the board, not only to the more affordable places.
Renters are protected by legal limits on how fast their rent can increase – about 2.5 per cent this
year. For new renters mov-ing in, this limit does not apply and rental costs rise much faster.
Would-be renters have few options: accept cramped sub-standard accommodation if they can find it; move to the far suburbs and deal with long commutes and insufficient public transit, or leave the Vancouver area.
Increasingly, the young and the mobile are exer-cising this last option and
going to smaller centres in British Columbia and beyond, where housing is more available and afford-able. Students who do not have family in Vancouver are realizing that there are many good colleges and universities (includ-ing a University of British Columbia campus) in less expensive cities and towns.
This also affects inter-national students, who add more to the B.C. economy than many basic resource exports, like copper, zinc and wood. Should these students start look-ing at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops rather than coming to Simon Fraser University or the University of British Columbia in greater Vancouver, the metro economy will be affected.
Drawn to greener pas-tures
Students, entry level workers and young people
planning to start a family are feeling the pull of less costly communities. Those with trades qualifications, especially the lower paid trades, like cooks, can eas-ily find work in smaller centres and enjoy a bet-ter quality of life on their earnings. The same is true for many service workers.
B.C.’s communities outside of the greater Vancouver area will wel-come the inflow of stu-dents, young workers and families. Their economies will benefit from the spend-ing these new arrivals gen-erate and their businesses will enjoy a greater pool of available workers.
Those Help Wanted signs will come down a lot sooner because there are a few more For Rent signs in town.

I recently joked with reporter Dale Boyd that this election could be
like HBO’s hit show Game of Thrones. If you are unfamiliar with it, the show is an adaptation of the book A Song of Ice and Fire, a series of novels by George R. R. Martin. It’s about how noble families fight for control of the fictional land Westeros. One person wants to take control of the Seven Kingdoms. It’s a long drawn out affair. There is plenty of violence and killing as each lord does whatever it takes to protect their kingdom, while also going for the ultimate glory. There is strat-egy involved and some sacrifice.
As for Harper, some may view him as Joffrey Baratheon, who was
King for longer than most people likely pre-ferred. Unless you like evil leaders. It would be a huge stretch to suggest that people would rejoice if Harper ended up having the same fate as Joffrey. Elizabeth May could be Daenerys Targaryen, who becomes known as the mother of drag-ons. The Green Party leader could only wish she had dragons to unleash on her oppos-ition.
When it comes to politics you kind of need to keep your ear to the ground. If not, have someone who can keep you in the know like Lord Varys.
Kidding aside, you know what I’d like to see not happen during the overly long cam-paign? The candidates wasting time person-ally attacking each other. I have always wondered where the need for this comes from. The only answer I have been able to come up with is that each candidate fears each other.
However, maybe that’s what people like. If they are going to, is it too much to ask that the leaders dress up like Game of Thrones characters with a weapon of their choos-ing to use in election by combat. You can’t
tell me that wouldn’t be entertaining to watch?
When it comes to Harper, those who fol-low even the slightest of what is happening know what they don’t like.
Mulcair, Trudeau and May should focus on what they will do for us Canadians. Sell us on that. Each party has its platform. Pump that up. Energy is used up trying to convince vot-ers why this candidate or that one isn’t right or ready to run this coun-try. Plus at some point, doesn’t it get tiring hearing the same old cheap shots delivered?
To all of you who eat up the political battle, don’t forget the pop-corn.

An editorial from the Toronto Star
A few years ago 19−year−old para−swimmer Aurelie Rivard would get panic attacks before a meet and throw up on the pool deck. Then, at just 16, the athlete from St. Jean−sur−Richelieu in Quebec emerged as a rising star at the 2012 London Paralympics, where she won silver.
That marked her as an ath-lete to watch at Toronto’s Parapan Am Games. And she didn’t disappoint. By Thursday, long before the games closed on Saturday, Rivard’s medal haul included a stunning five golds and a silver. That feat could set her up to be the biggest indi-vidual gold medal winner of the
Parapan games — depending on her final performance before the end of the games.
Rivard’s success, in fact, reflected that of the country’s entire Parapan team. By Friday Canada was still in a surprising second place finish behind Brazil and ahead of the United States in the overall medal count, and expected to hold that place. That surpassed the goal the Canadian team had set itself for the games: to finish third, up from their fifth−place finish at the last Parapan Am games in 2011.
The surprise medal count was an impressive achievement at what were the largest Parapan games ever held, with more than 1,600 athletes from 28 countries
competing in 15 events.The games aren’t over. Key
events still to come include the popular wheelchair basketball. And, of course, the free closing ceremonies at Nathan Phillips Square.
In the end, Toronto’s Parapan games weren’t just bigger and better than their predecessors. They drew more interest, with many sports attracting sellout crowds.
Canada’s Parapan athletes did the country proud. While the Pan Am Games showed Toronto is fully capable of host-ing the 2024 Olympic Games, the Parapan games put the icing on the cake for any bid the city might choose to make.

Close to 60 riders and their faithful horses trotted onto the Trail Horseman’s Grounds for the Horse Association of Central Kootenays’ Hot August Hooves Horse Show on the weekend.
“It’s really great,” said organizer Pam Malekow. “We had people come from Grand Forks, Rock Creek, Republic Wash., Kelowna, Cranbrook, Creston, and
then of course riders from our area as well.”
The three-day event kicked off with Dressage on Friday and English and Western classes on Saturday and Sunday, with the introduction of a new discipline, the TREC ride, on Friday.
“TREC is something new we’re trying, and it went really well,” said Malekow. “If you were out on a trail ride, the kind of obstacles you would encounter like
low branches of trees, something you have to walk over, scary objects - but it was really fun.”
The extensive range of competitions, 56, include categories from child horsemanship to senior classes performing every-thing from Showmanship, Equitation, Horsemanship and Trail patterns in English and Western styles.
With judge Lilian Evanview from Riverside, Wash. judging and offering
constructive criticism, it was a great opportunity for riders to learn and improve their skills.
“Most judges look for your horsemanship skills,” explained Malekow. “Pleasure horse they go on how calm your horse is and if its a pleasure to ride. It just depends what class they are judging.”
Points are given and taken away depending on mechanics, style, and thought interpretation.
The judge scores on each element, plus the overall impression, as well as, smoothness of transi-tion, flow and finesse in the pattern.
The difficulty of the pat-tern varies according to the class. For novices, the pat-terns are simpler and may consist of some variety of walking to a marker, jog-ging a circle and loping a straight line to the end of the arena. For upper-level classes, the patterns are

White Rock wins Nationals
B y T i m e s s T a f fThe BC Little League representative, White
Rock All-Stars, are headed to Williamsport, PA to compete in the Little League World Series start-ing Thursday and going to Aug. 30.
White Rock gained a measure of revenge, defeating the host East Nepean Eagles 16-0 in the championship game on Sunday. Matthew Wilkinson pitched all five innings, putting on a clinic and giving up just one hit and walking three, while throwing 13 strikeouts. Darius Opdam Bak had a home run and three RBIs, and Trent Lenihan belted two home runs and four RBIs for the B.C. champion.
White Rock went 7-1 in the round robin, their only loss coming in their second match of the tournament, a close 6-5 setback to East Nepean. They then rolled over the competition, their most decisive win a 31-0 drubbing of the Prairies representative from Moose Jaw. White Rock also beat Glace Bay, N.S. 22-1, Alberta’s Lethbridge Red Giants 5-1, before nipping High Park Braves, the Ontario representative, 9-8 in the final game of the round robin.

then 10-runned the Atlantic rep in the semifinal 11-1, while East Nepean eked out a 2-1 victory over High Park in the other semi, before losing in five innings to White Rock.
The national crown – and Little League World Series berth – is the third-ever for a White Rock team, having also qualified in back-to-back years from 2007 to 2008. Ironically, it was a team from East Nepean that stymied a White Rock squad’s drive for Williamsport two years
ago, defeating the 2013 Semiahmoo squad in the national finals.
Prior to the start of the Canadian cham-pionships, White Rock coach Bob Cumiskey joked that his team would look to avenge that loss and “get a little revenge.”
On Sunday, they certainly did, racking up 16 runs and 17 hits in just five innings before the game was called on account of the mercy rule.
The Trail Little League All Stars played White Rock at the Provincial cham-pionship in South Van
last month, dropping a 19-7 match, that was only 12-7 until White Rock scored seven in the final inning to put it out of reach.
White Rock will trade their black and teal uniforms for red and white ones, as their first match goes Friday against Mexico at 11 a.m. PT.
Team Canada plays in the International division against the national champions from Japan, Mexico and Australia, as well as regional champions from the Caribbean, Europe/Africa and Asia-Pacific.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO -
Olympics officials say new rules meant to make hosting the Games more afford-able would also cut the cost of bidding for the international competi-tion.
But at least one expert disputes those claims, saying the new measures brought in by the International Olympic Committee only pay lip service to financial sustainability and won’t make the pitch or the Games themselves any cheap-er.
Financial concerns have been at the fore-front as Toronto con-siders whether to vie for the 2024 Summer Games, and the city’s mayor has said he won’t decide until pre-liminary figures from this summer’s Pan Am and Parapan Am Games are released.
The deadline for cities to register their interest with the IOC is Sept. 15.
A municipal study previously estimated it would cost roughly $50 million to bid for the Games, on top of the $150,000 applica-tion fee.
The Canadian Olympic Committee, which has been push-ing for Toronto to throw its hat in the ring, says sweep-ing changes recently enacted by the IOC would reduce the price of a bid, though it couldn’t say by how
much.“We can safely say
the cost of a bid would be substantially lower than what has been the case in the past,” spokesman Carl Vallee said in an email.
With its new plan - dubbed Agenda 2020 - the IOC “wants to make Olympic Games more accessible and financially sustain-able,” he said. “In that spirit, it wants to attract as many candi-date cities as possible, thus making the cost of bidding lower.”
But Janice Forsyth, director of the International Centre for Olympic Studies at the University of Western Ontario, says a bid alone will likely cost more than $50 million, much of it from the public purse.
The new rules have changed the applica-tion process but not the related expenses, she said.
“As far as we’re concerned, all of the accountability meas-ures that the IOC has put in place to make an assessment haven’t changed,” she said.
“There’s a few con-cessions about how some of the visits might be paid for but the city and the region still have to do their due diligence in terms of weighing the oppor-tunity costs of bidding and hosting, and those haven’t changed.”
In fact, she said, “they’ve only got-ten more expensive because every bid has to best the previous one.”
The changes frame
the application process as an invitation and allow potential can-didates to seek advice from the IOC about the requirements and how previous hosts have fared. They also encourage cities to make use of existing or temporary facili-ties instead of build-ing everything from scratch.
But it’s unclear how the rules will be applied, Forsyth said.
“You take this already high-risk situ-ation and you make it even riskier with Agenda 2020 because of so many unknowns,” she said.
“It’s just not a good time to bid or host under these circum-stances because at the end of the day, bid cit-ies are still going to be in competition with one another to win the IOC’s favour and you can bet those price tags are going to be huge.”
It cost Vancouver $34 million to bid for the 2010 Winter Olympics, but Forsyth said competing for the sought-after Summer Games is more expen-sive.
More than half of the bill for the Vancouver bid - about 54 per cent - was paid by various levels of government and public agencies, with the rest covered by private-sector fund-ing, documents show.
Toronto last bid for the 2008 Summer Games but lost to Beijing. The city also made a pitch for the 1996 Olympics, which were held in Atlanta.

You & The LawTYLEEN UNDERWOOD LAW OFFICE presents
It’s bad enough if you’re charged with and convicted of a crime, like assault – you may be looking at some serious jail time. But that’s not all of it. Your victim can also sue you in civil court, where you’ll face an uphill battle. And if they’re seriously injured, that crime can cost you plenty of money, too.
A recent case offers a good example of this.
Mark (all names changed) rented a house on Chuck’s blueberry farm and had lived there with his common-law wife and young family for four years. Bad blood had developed between him and his landlord Chuck in the last couple of years, though.
Chuck and his family lived in another house on the farm. One evening, while drunk, Chuck called Mark and threatened to hurt or kill him. He then drove to Mark’s rental house, taking a one-metre long metal bar along. When he arrived at Mark’s house, he struck and broke one
of the windows with that bar, ripping the curtain. He then parked his truck a bit further away and came back to the rented house, metal bar in hand.
Mark, watching TV with his family at the time, came out of the house to protect his family. He was unarmed. Chuck struck him on the head with the metal bar – it had about six inches of fresh blood on it afterwards.
Mark fell to the ground, but was able to get up and pin Chuck down. The police were called and took Chuck away. Chuck was criminally charged
with making death threats, assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm. He was prosecuted and convicted, and faced a long jail sentence.
Mark � led a civil lawsuit and sued Chuck for monetary compensation. The court in the criminal trial (which requires a higher standard of proof than what is required in a civil lawsuit) had accepted Mark’s version of events. The civil court adopted those conclusions in Mark’s lawsuit. After a conviction in a criminal trial, you can only re-argue the same issues again in a civil lawsuit in very limited circumstances. And the civil court decided that those limited circumstances didn’t apply here. In any event, it also believed Mark’s version of what had happened. It decided the civil lawsuit in Mark’s favour and said Chuck was far and away the most to blame for Mark’s injuries.
Due to the blow to his head, Mark suffered hearing problems, balance problems, fatigue and other serious health problems. His ability to hold a permanent job was gone, probably forever. Admittedly, Mark had a pretty checkered past, some criminal convictions, a very spotty work history and little education (he never � nished Grades 10 or 11, having dropped out of both).
But factoring everything in, the civil court ordered Chuck to pay Mark money compensation for Mark’s non-pecuniary damages (“pain and suffering”), loss of earning capacity going forward, future care costs and more, totalling roughly $300,000.

The Doukhobor Discovery Centre host-ed a special exhibit viewing recently. On display were vintage Doukhobor textiles, some dating back more than 100 years, includ-ing pieces that came over with the original Doukhobor immigrants from Russia.
Doukhobor elder Laura Verigin has been the custodian of these artifacts for many years. At the age of 89, she is ready to pass the
responsibility on to the next generation. “When I married into the Verigin family, I never knew what I would end up responsible for. Every year they need to be taken apart, aired, refolded and put back into their place. That is how they have been kept all these years,” explained Verigin. “I will be happy when they are out of my hands and with the community. I think that is where they should be.”
Verigin was a little overwhelmed after she
had the chance to tour the new displays at the museum. “I though it was just gorgeous. She (Lisa Poznikoff, Chief Administrator of the museum) deserves cred-it, she did a wonderful job,” she said.
The event included a lovely tea and a fund-raiser dedicated to pur-chasing a bench for the Doukhobor Discovery Centre grounds in hon-our of Laura and her late husband, Honorary Chairman of the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ, John J Verigin.

Midway man found, says RCMP
b y l u c a S l . J o h n S o n i iTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASHVILLE - Music producer Bob Johnston, who played a key role in landmark record-ings like Bob Dylan’s “Blonde on Blonde” and Johnny Cash’s “At Folsom Prison,” is being remembered as a maverick who helped bring Nashville into the folk rock era.
Johnston died Friday. He was 83.
Peter Cooper, an editor at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Johnston helped open Nashville up to music and musi-cians from other places.
He said Johnston was responsible for Dylan coming to the Music City, and that Dylan’s “Blonde on Blonde” was one of at least three recordings Dylan and Johnston made in Nashville.
Leisure
Dear Annie: My nephew recently found out that he has genital her-pes. He is a fine young man and had been dating the girl for a while. When they parted ways, neither of them knew she had a sexually trans-mitted disease.
Since finding this out, my nephew has become so depressed. He is convinced that no one will ever want him and that he will spend the rest of his life alone. We are worried about him and have looked around for support groups, but could not find any.
I am sure he cannot be the only person in this position. Could you ask your readers to send in some encouraging words or some advice for him? It would mean so much to him to know he is not alone and that there is hope for a future with someone. -- A Concerned Aunt
Dear Aunt: We can assure you that your nephew is not alone. Roughly 1 in 6 people ages 14-49 in the U.S. have genital herpes, and many are unaware of it. While it
is not curable, there is medication available to treat symptoms, control outbreaks and reduce the risk of transmission to a partner.
Please tell your nephew to check the website of the American Social Health Association at ashasexualhealth.org or their Herpes Hotline at 1-888-411-4377. They offer information, encouragement and support, along with relationship advice about how to tell one’s potential sexual part-ners about the infection.
Dear Annie: A year ago, I accepted a friend request on Facebook from an old boyfriend. (My first teenage crush from 35 years ago.) I was glad to see photos of his wife and chil-dren, and to chat with him about our lives.
Over time, he began sending me private messages, which eventually took a sharp turn toward flirtation and then became downright suggest-ive, to the point where he thought
we should meet up. I stopped that in its tracks and told him in no uncer-
tain terms that I had no interest in him as any-thing but an old friend. After a few months of no contact, he agreed that I was right, and we had several more chats,
solely about family and life.Yesterday, his son posted on his
Facebook page that he had died. I was stunned and shed many tears for his family, plus a few for myself. Feeling sentimental, I opened up our chat page and started re-read-ing it, and lo and behold, saw all of those earlier conversations -- the ones that would devastate his family. I deleted the entire conver-sation immediately. I only hope no one in his family saw it.
The best gift I could give to his grieving family was to leave them the loving husband and father they knew, with no stains on his charac-ter. Please remind people that these things stay online forever and that
one never knows whether the next person looking at that page could be your spouse or child. -- Another Distant Survivor
Dear Survivor: There have always been instances of surviving family members discovering evidence of
inappropriate behavior (love letters in a desk drawer, receipts for hotels and gifts), but the Internet allows simple conversations to live forever. Thank you for reminding folks that Facebook pages can be accessed after death. Our condolences.
