A surge of whooping cough cases in the Kootenay Boundary has Interior Health (IH) reminding parents to keep their child's immuniza-tions up-to-date.

There's been 14 confirmed diagnoses of the illness in the region, adding to 34 cases throughout IH facilities since January.

The disease is a highly contagious infection of the respiratory system that can result in prolonged, some-times life-threatening, illness in infants and young chil-dren.

The first symptoms of whooping cough are similar to those of a common cold, and may include runny nose, sneezing, mild fever and a low-grade cough.

After one to two weeks, the dry, irritating cough evolves into severe coughing spells that can last for more than a minute.

The child can cough to the point of breathlessness, and inhalations of air post-cough can produce the tell-tale whooping sound.

Caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis, whoop-ing cough (also referred to as pertussis) is prevent-able by immunization that begins at two months of age. Intramuscular injections are repeated three more times

until the child is 18 months, again at four to six years, then as a booster in Grade 9.

Those afflicted require treatment with the use of prescribed medication to lessen the infectious period from two to three weeks to as little as five days, says IH Medical Health Officer, Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi.

“I have to emphasize that this is a completely prevent-able infectious illness and it has serious implications, especially in small children and infants less than 12 months old,” he explained.

Complications can include pneumonia and in rare instances encephalitis, which is an inflammation of the brain that can be fatal in the very young.

“We are strongly advising all parents to ensure their children are immunized, so they are not at risk,” said Golmohammadi . “The per-tussis vaccine is very safe and effective in preventing the

spread of this disease.”The vaccine, referred to

as “DPT,” covers immuniza-tion against pertussis as well as diphtheria and tetanus.

Diagnosis is made by swabbing the throat or nose, and if the test comes back positive for the pertussis bacteria, treatment includes a full course of antibiotics.

Science has yet to prove why the endemic disease peaks across Canada often in the summer and every three to five years, says Dr. Golmohammadi.

“It is unclear why this cyclic pattern occurs,” he said. “People can assume different theories such as, for example, children are exposed to their cohorts who are immunized, during the school months. (In the sum-mer) they may be exposed to a wider group of people in different age groups, which are less protected.”

Over time immunity wanes, so more interaction with the public might pot-entially introduce children to people who have the bac-teria.

“The group we are most concerned with are chil-dren less than 12 months, especially those who have no immunity or incomplete immunity.”

To produce an outbreak, two factors are required.

Five rural B.C. border crossings are up for a modern redesign after receiving an influx of federal dollars in late July.

Paterson’s port of entry (POE) and the

Waneta Border Crossing are on the list, though construction won’t begin for a few more years, says Robin Barcham, communications advisor for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

“The POEs were built decades ago and need to be upgraded or replaced to satisfy the demands of modern border management,” she explained.

“Improvements to facilities will help ensure our various sized and remote ports of entry will continue to deliver service excellence to travellers and trad-ers.”

The current three-storey Port of Paterson structure was built in 1950, according to Barcham. Upgrades to the site were made in 1980 and again in 1990.

Waneta’s two-storey port building is now 40 years old. It’s listed in “good” condition on the government’s treasury website, but the floor size is noted to be only 171 square-metres, and presents challenges for border service agents.

Barcham said new space demands are needed for seized goods, technology enhancements and other operational

requirements.“Upgrades to our POEs will ensure

border service officers work in facilities that meet our current and future real-ities and requirements, which include increased traveller volumes, service lev-els, and greater use of technology,” she added.

“Modern port of entry facilities will help ensure the free flow of legitimate travel and trade across Canadian borders and improved operational efficiencies.”

The bidding: North has a balanced 16 points but

does not open One No Trump because he has no rebid problem never having a need to rebid One Notrump. He can open One Spade and rebid Two Diamonds.

Promising a rebid, South responds Two Hearts showing at least 10 HCP’s and a five-card Heart suit. North can just bid 3NT with the unbid suits stopped because all he needs is nine points from partner for game. However he decides to bid Three Clubs in an attempt to stop the opponents from lead-ing his shortest suit. He must have a stop-per because partner will assume he has at least one.

South will bid Three No Trump because he has a Diamond stop-per. If he did not have a Diamond stopper, he

would have to rebid Hearts.

The Play: West sees through the charade and leads his fourth best Club. Declarer wins the Ace because he knows a four-card club suit will not defeat Three No Trump. If West had KQJxx of clubs, he would have led the King. Therefore, East has Hx in clubs. The club suit becomes blocked because if East unblocks the hon-our, King in this case, South’s Ten will be a second stopper.

East plays the King

under the Ace with the hope that South has only one remaining club honour and that it can be trapped. This is not the case because declarer has 109xx not 108xx.

Declarer will come to his hand on a high Heart and take the Spade finesse which loses to the Queen. East returns a club. West wins two Clubs and exits a Club and South wins the Ten. South now knows it is safe to take the Diamond finesse into East which wins.

Declarer will lose the Spade Queen and two Clubs making Three No Trump with an overtrick for +430.

Note: If declarer did not have 109xx of clubs and had to pro-tect 108xx of clubs, East would be the dan-ger hand, and declarer would cash the top two Spades and then run the Heart Ten through losing to West if the

Spade Queen did not drop. One refuses to take a finesse if it goes into the danger hand. The contract would still be success-

ful whenever East has Queen stiff or Queen doubleton or West has the Spade Queen and the Heart suit behaves like it does.

First, a person must be infected with per-tussis. Through drop-let contact, such as sneezing or coughing, the disease, which only survives in the human respiratory system, spreads to another person who is also not immunized or fully immune.

“We know to have in increase in the number of cases or actually have a new case, those two major components need to happen at the same time,” Golmohammadi explained.

Stopping the spread falls to the vaccin-ated community (also known as herd immunity) because when exposed to the infection, they will not become ill.

“So when you have a person with the infec-tion, who is traveling or visiting from other countries, for example, high protection of immunity among community mem-bers (means) they will not become ill when they are exposed,” he added. “And they will not become a source of infection. So when that person leaves or gets well, the infection is not spread, and there won’t be more cases in the community.”

Parents are rec-ommended to review their children’s immunization record and update vaccines before the new school year starts.

Further from home, the Midway Border Crossing, and Chopaka Border Crossing, which connects Cawston (near Keremeos) to Loomis, Washington, are up for improvements begin-ning in 2017.

Customs offices at the latter two ports have been in use since the gold rush boom of the late 1800s, though the actual Port of Midway was constructed in 1951 and Chopaka’s in 1954.

The fifth site slated for improvements is the Port of Rykerts. Built in 1973, the Rykerts port connects Creston to Bonners Ferry, ID.

Conservative MP Dan Albas, from the Central Okanagan-Similkamen-Nicola riding, announced (July 29) the $37.5 million invest-ment in Paterson, Midway and Chopaka as part of the government’s $440 million infrastructure funding program to replace ageing ports of entry across Canada.

David Wilks, Conservative MP for Kootenay-Columbia confirmed in a July 29 news release that Rykerts and Waneta upgrades are included under the umbrella of the federal funding.

Details of how much money will be ear-marked for each crossing and what improve-ments to expect, have yet to be announced.Grease fire sends three to hospital

B y S h e r i r e g n i e rTimes Staff

An unattended pot of grease on a stovetop sent three people to the hospital Monday night.

The 9-1-1 call from a

Fruitvale home came into Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue just after 6 p.m. Chief Terry Martin told the Trail Times.

Crews from Fruitvale, Montrose and Trail attended the scene and contained the structure fire to a small area in the kitchen.

“We had the fire extinguished in 15 minutes, which includ-ed time to remove the remaining smoke from the house,” he said.

Three occupants in the residence were transported to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital by ambulance. Two were treated for smoke inhal-

ation, and the third for burns to his hands.

“Our crews removed num-erous pets from the house because of the smoke in the structure,” Martin added.

He advises the public to never leave pots unattended on the stove when cooking food.

B y S t a f f W r i t e rGrand Forks GazetteThe City of Grand

Forks announced in a press release Monday that Michael Wirischagin has resigned from council and will be leaving his seat effective immedi-ately.

The announce-ment came a week before Wirischagin is scheduled to appear in Grand Forks court

on impaired driving charges related to an incident in Midway in June.

Wirischagin is scheduled to appear in court in Grand Forks on Aug. 18 to face charges of failure or refusal to provide a breath sample, and care or control of a vehicle or vessel while impaired.

The charges are from June 14 in

Midway.The press release

from the city stated: Wirischagin is eight months into his third term on council and has made a decision to focus on a career outside of local pol-itics.

“It is with the deepest regret that I have to inform you that I will be vacating my seat on council effective immediately,

Sunday, Aug. 9, to focus on my career ambitions outside of the council cham-bers,” Wirischagin said in the press release. “While not an easy decision, it cer-tainly has been one that has been con-sidered even before the previous. My family and I are for-ever indebted to the City of Grand Forks and its constituents

for the three terms on council and for all of your support.”

On behalf of the city and council, Mayor Frank Konrad wished Wirischagin the best in his future endeavours and thanked him for his time on council.

Burn victim set to go home soon

Creston

B y L o r n e e c k e r s L e y Creston Valley Advance

Ross Millar is on the road to recovery and is expected to return home to Creston later this month, his sister, Sara Malyk, said last week.

Millar was severely burned on the night of April 30 when a suspected arsonist set fire to his apartment while he was sleeping. He was trans-ported to Vancouver General Hospital in critical condition and has undergone several skin graft operations.

“Ross and his family would like to give a big thank you to everyone in this great com-munity,” said Malyk. “We were overwhelmed by all the kind words, hugs, prayers and the amount of caring shown at this difficult time.

“We are grateful for all the financial support that Ross has received and is still receiving — he is sure going to need it.”

Millar, known to many for his friendly service at Your Dollar Store With More, was rescued from the blaze by

firefighters. He was initial-ly treated at Creston Valley Hospital, then airlifted to Vancouver. Elisha Jimmy, 21, was charged with arson fol-lowing an investigation by the RCMP.

Remarkably, firefight-ers were able to contain the fire to two apartments in the 18th Avenue South building.

“The firefighters per-formed an incredible job for which they trained very hard,” Creston Fire Rescue Chief Mike Moore said the following day. “With one man rescued from the fire after succumbing to heat and smoke, and getting four other occupants out of the building and to safety, there is nothing more gratifying for me, as the fire chief.”

Millar is now at GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre, work-ing to rebuild muscle mass and regain use of his limbs.

“We are happy to let you know that Ross is heal-ing well, getting stronger every day,” Malyk said. “The family would like to give a

special thank you to Penny Karpowich for her tremen-dous effort in establishing the

trust fund for Ross at ICBC and for organizing and host-ing fundraising events.”

HALIFAX - A Halifax woman who led a $1.18 billion class-action settlement for those infected with hepatitis C has died.

Lawyer Dawna Ring says Diane Forsyth died Saturday at the age of 64.

Forsyth became known nationally under her maiden name, Diane Parsons, for leading the legal fight for those infected with hepatitis C from blood transfusions.

Her family doctor, Patricia Beresford, said Forsyth, who had a bleeding disorder, became ill after get-ting a blood trans-fusion prior to dental surgery in 1989.

At the time, Canada

had not instituted surrogate testing for hepatitis C.

“Early on in her ill-ness, and until the day she died, Diane fought for adequate compen-sation for the medic-al and living costs of victims of hepatitis C exposure from blood,” said Beresford.

Thousands of people in Canada were infected with HIV and hepatitis C after receiving tainted blood transfusions in the 1980s.

The federal govern-ment launched a pub-lic inquiry in 1993 to look into the scandal. Justice Horace Krever spent four years in his investigation and made 50 recom-mendations when he issued his report four

years later.The settlement

in the lawsuit led by Forsyth also wasn’t without controversy when it was announced in 1998.

Under the court-approved agreement, Ottawa and the prov-inces set up a fund to compensate people infected with hepa-titis C through taint-ed blood from 1986 to 1990. But people infected before 1986 were excluded on the grounds that there was no test to screen for the virus before then, but it was later learn-ed there were fairly effective tests available before 1986.

In 2006, a separ-ate federal compen-sation deal for the so-called forgotten

victims of hepatitis C was announced, cover-ing people who were infected with the virus before 1986 or after 1990.

A number of people who knew Forsyth issued statements on her importance to those who were affect-ed by tainted blood.

Harvey T. Strosberg, who was the lead law-yer in the national class action, said Forsyth was a “vision-ary and a leader.”

“She put her faith in the judicial system and she was not disappoint-ed,” he said. “Thousands of Canadians have benefited because she led the way.”

Ring said Forsyth was giving of her time, even when she was sick and weak.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SWith the curtain about to

rise on the climactic second act of the Mike Duffy trial, Justin Trudeau promised Tuesday to clean up the scandal-tainted Senate, while Stephen Harper set his sights on neighbourhood drug labs.

The Liberal leader vowed to clean up the prime minis-ter’s “mess,” accusing Harper of leading the “most secret-ive, divisive and hyper-parti-san government in Canada’s history.”

That mess, of course, is the Senate, and in particu-lar Duffy’s trial, which was scheduled to enter its most explosive phase Wednesday with none other than Nigel Wright, Harper’s former chief of staff, as the first witness.

Wright, Harper’s former chief of staff, is the man who provided Duffy with $90,000 of his own money to repay his disallowed housing and travel expenses. The former Conservative senator has pleaded not guilty to 31 char-ges including fraud, bribery and breach of trust.

Trudeau, determined to keep the Conservative scan-dal top of mind for Canadians, spoke Tuesday of transpar-

ency, saying it would be a fundamental principle in a Liberal government.

He also promised to bring in a merit-based appointment process to the Senate.

Harper, meanwhile, tried to avoid being drawn back into the Duffy fray with yet another policy announce-ment - his fifth with the 11-week campaign still in its infancy - before travelling to B.C. and later northern Canada.

Harper promised a 20-per-cent increase in funding - to almost $27 million a year - to help the RCMP target mari-juana grow-ops and meth labs and another $500,000 a year over four years on a national toll-free hotline for parents to get information about drug use among the country’s youth.

And he took the oppor-tunity to score some points on Trudeau, who has already pledged his support for legal-izing marijuana.

In jurisdictions where marijuana is legal, such as parts of the U.S. and Europe, the drug becomes “more readily available to children, more people become addict-ed,” and there is a decline

in health outcomes, Harper said.

“We just think that’s the wrong direction for society and I don’t think that’s the way most Canadians want to deal with this particular problem.”

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, however, was more interested in Harper’s travel itinerary, in particular the fact he was getting as geographically far away from Ottawa as pos-sible.

“I do find it interesting that Mr. Harper has decided to try to hide out in the North Pole during the Mike Duffy trial this week,” Mulcair said.

“On a whole series of sub-jects, Mr. Harper has said one thing and its opposite in the Mike Duffy affair. You can’t say one thing and then its opposite and have them both be true. A lot of that is going to be catching up with Mr. Harper this week. He can run but he can’t hide.”

Mulcair later confirmed he would participate in a bilin-gual Munk Debate on foreign affairs, after having said he would only be there if Harper was and if there would be an equal number of debates in both official languages.

Confusion, however, con-tinued to reign Tuesday. The Conservatives have agreed to participate, and while the Liberals have said they would be there on Sept. 28, they have yet to confirm their attendance.

Green party Leader Elizabeth May was not invit-ed.

While campaigning in Quebec, a province the NDP dominated in 2011, Mulcair got some welcome news: one of the province’s largest and sovereigntist-leaning labour federations has dropped its long-standing endorsement of the Bloc Quebecois and some of its member unions are supporting the New Democrats.

Mulcair said he will “work hard to maintain the support” of unions in Quebec in order to “expand our traditional base and rally progressives across Quebec and Canada.”

The Quebec Federation of Labour, also known as the FTQ, covers 37 labour unions and counts 600,000 mem-bers.

The NDP offers a big tent to Quebecers, even those who supported separatism in the past, Mulcair said.

THE CANADIAN PRESSFORT MCMURRAY,

Alta. - Oilsands giant Syncrude is facing an environmental pro-tection order follow-ing the deaths of 30 great blue herons at one of its sites.

“It’s guidance to the company,” Alberta Energy Regulator spokes-man Bob Curran said Tuesday. “We’re specifying what our expectations are, what information we expect the company to deliver and in what time frame.”

Syncrude revealed on the weekend that 29 carcasses from the large shorebirds were discovered last Friday near a pump house at an abandoned sump pond at the Mildred Lake mine site north of Fort McMurray. One additional bird was euthanized on the order of Alberta Fish and Wildlife.

Although bird deterrents were working elsewhere

on the mine site, Syncrude spokesman Will Gibson acknow-ledged Tuesday that no such equipment was in operation at the sump.

“We didn’t have any deterrents in the area at the time,” he said. “We typically put deterrents around our tailings facility.”

Since the discov-ery, Syncrude has installed fencing, sound cannons and bird-scaring statues, including a robot-ic falcon. Human observers are also stationed at the site around the clock.

Gibson was unable to say if simi-lar measures have been installed at any of Syncrude’s other sumps.

“We want to find out what attracted (the birds) there. I don’t want to specu-late about whether we have a similar set of circumstances at other sumps in our operation.”

Billy McNeely has said in a previous interview with The Canadian Press that he went to the health centre in Fort Good Hope in 2010 after an arm-wrestling contest at a house party led to a fight with another man.

McNeely was stabbed five times.Staff stitched him up and sent him home, he

said, but he returned to the health centre and later visited the Yellowknife hospital with recur-ring pain. Nothing was found.

“I always had back pains. There was always a burning feeling with it,” said McNeely, who added that he also mysteriously set off metal detectors.

In 2013, after he woke up in bed to find some-thing poking out of his back, doctors dug out a blade measuring seven centimetres long.

The lawsuit, filed in April 2014, names the Sahtu Health and Social Services Authority, the Stanton Territorial Health Authority, four doc-tors and two unknown nurses.

McNeely claims he has suffered chronic back pain, abscesses, infection and sleep disturbances.

None of the allegations has been proven in court.

Statements of defence from the doctors, filed in court in May, say they weren’t working at the health centre when McNeely came in with stab wounds. Two argue that they gave treatment advice to nurses over the phone.

OPINION

Meet B.C.’s new LNG dance partnerWhat’s being

called the “Scandal that ate Malaysia”

has been in the news in B.C. recently. In Malaysia, it’s been in the news too, but for about a year now.

Broad strokes to the scandal: Malaysian inves-tigators are looking into allegations that US$700 million was siphoned off from state-owned 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and some-how ended up in the per-sonal accounts of Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Razak.

Malaysia’s Petronas – the proponent behind Pacific Northwest LNG – is also “state-owned” or, as we would say in B.C., a Crown corporation.

And it seems in its head-long rush to the altar with any ready and willing LNG proponent, the B.C. govern-ment may have skipped over a few best practices, one of them being due diligence.

So what exactly was unfolding in Malaysia, as photo-ops were being staged in B.C.?

On the very day Premier Christy Clark was sign-ing a memorandum of understanding with Pacific Northwest LNG in Vancouver, Zulkiflee Anwar

Haque was in a Malaysian courtroom facing nine charges of sedition.

The charges stem from a series of comments

Zulkiflee tweeted following the sentencing of oppos-ition leader Anwar Ibrahim to a five-year prison term.

Zulkiflee is Malaysia’s Raeside, an editorial car-toonist who signs his work Zumar. If convicted on all counts, he faces up to 43-years in jail.

And while most Canadians won’t recognize opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim’s name, in 1998, he was Malaysia’s deputy prime minister and finance minis-ter until he was sacked and charged with corruption and sodomy.

It might have passed unnoticed in Canada had it not been for then finance

minister Paul Martin.Martin knows Anwar well

and was forthright in his 1999 appraisal: “Mr. Anwar is a respected colleague and a man of integrity...An ero-sion of confidence in the rule of law in Malaysia not only threatens democracy in that country but also raises questions about the cur-rent government’s respect for human rights and good governance.”

Despite Martin’s inter-vention, Anwar was con-victed.

In 2004, Malaysia’s Supreme Court overturned the convictions and released Anwar from jail. In 2008, he was charged with sodomy again.

This time, Martin teamed up with former International Monetary Fund chair Michel Camdessus and former World Bank presi-dent James Wolfensohn in releasing a joint statement: “We would like to reiter-ate our full confidence in (Anwar’s) moral integrity, as a man who has demonstrat-ed, in the discharge of his national and international responsibilities, the highest ethical standards of leader-ship, fighting for inter-national justice, peace and development.”

Although acquit-

ted in 2012 on what The Economist called “trumped-up charges,” the Malaysian government appealed and won. This past February, Anwar was sentenced to a five-year prison term.

In a statement follow-ing the conviction, the U.S. State department said: “The decision to prosecute Mr. Anwar, and his trial, have raised serious concerns regarding the rule of law and the independence of the courts.”

Malaysians tweeting their disapproval, however, risked charges of sedition, as Zulkiflee Anwar Haque can attest to.

A few weeks after sign-ing that MOU with Pacific Northwest LNG, the B.C. government released its first LNG project development agreement on the same day that economy.com (part of Moody’s Investors Service) published an article head-lined: “Corruption Plagues Malaysia’s Government.”

And when the B.C. legislature was passing the Liquefied Natural Gas Project Agreements Act, Singapore police were freezing two bank accounts linked to that investiga-tion into 1MDB funds being transferred to Prime Minister Najib’s personal

accounts.So why should any of

this matter to B.C.?To put it in a local con-

text: the B.C. government is providing unprecedented tax breaks to what effect-ively is a foreign Crown cor-poration, where the prime minister is suspected of siphoning off US$700 mil-lion from one of its other Crown corporations to his personal bank accounts. Doesn’t inspire confidence.

And there’s the tiny mat-ter of who’s actually benefit-ing from B.C.’s largesse.

In 2014, the dividend from Petronas accounted for 12.8 per cent of the Malaysian government’s rev-enue. And B.C. was supposed to be the winner in the deal.

Commenting recently on another LNG proponent – Woodfibre LNG’s Sukanto Tanoto – B.C. Liberal MLA Jordan Sturdy said: “The government tends not to get into the business of vetting ownership.”

No kidding. It might want to start.

Latest explanation for that US$700 million by the way is that it was a political donation to the prime min-ister.

TIMES PHOTO

From the Trail Creek News in 1895 to the Trail Times in 2015, the venerable local newspaper and its staff (from the left; Liz Bevan, Shannon McIlmoyle,

Sheri Regnier, Jeanine Margoreeth, Kevin Macintyre, Dave Dykstra, Jim Bailey, Michelle Bedford, Lonnie Hart and Guy Bertrand) are celebrating its 120th

anniversary in 2015.

Newspaper grows from humble beginnings in 1895B Y S H E R I R E G N I E R

Times Staff

The source of prosperity of the

Trail Creek county is, of course, its

magnificent ore bodies, according

the first edition of the Trail Creek

News. “Our interests at present

lie centred in and about the noble

structure that is rising foot by foot

on the brow of the hill overhanging

the beautiful town of Trail and of

its growth and magnitude we now

write,” noted the paper's writer and

editor W.F. Thompson on the inau-

gural front page.

The day was Saturday, Oct. 19,

1895 when Volume No. 1 of The

Trail Creek News was hot off the

presses. Under the headline, “This Means

You! When You Patronize the News

You Help Trail Grow,” Thompson

writes that it is now in order for

every citizen of Trail to subscribe

for the home newspaper, The Trail

Creek News, and “the times are

right for such a movement, the

price is right and if the News of

today is not all right, we will make

it right in future issues.”

The price was said to be “cheap”

at $2 per year, and the News office

would be found open all day long

and far into the night, and future

readers were expected to hand in

their subscription at once, so they

would not miss one issue of the

Trail newspaper. “If you want the

news, you must read the News,”

Thompson proclaimed almost 12

decades ago.While there's no silver or gold

commemoration for more than a

century of news reporting, the Trail

Times staff decided an honorary pat

on the back is deserving to all the

people who have typed, pressed,

written, delivered, or simply read

their way into the 120-year history

of the Silver City's only surviving

newspaper.Over the course of the year, we

will actively seek stories from peo-

ple in the Greater Trail commu-

nity such as long time subscribers,

past paper carriers and retired office

workers, who have memories to

share about how the Trail Times has

impacted their lives.See EARLY, Page 3

On Aug. 3, between 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. my family was rowing a boat to our beach; and we saw two men fishing on the banks off our beach area. The men had to cross 10 acres to reach the creek amongst our family reunion, two large tents, vehi-cles/people and dogs. As soon as they saw us they reeled in their fishing rods and quickly retreated.

My son and his wife got off the boat went to the intruder’s area and tracked them past our home. We then proceeded to the beach and found their fresh tracks on our private beach. We have given Sgt. Oelke of the Trail RCMP photos; and if we can identify from our secur-ity and surveillance, there may

be pending charges of B & E, mischief, harassment, vandal-ism, etc.

How many property owners would like this kind of invasion of their private home and family reunion?

1. People are intruding and we are the ones paying thou-sands of dollars in mainten-ance, security and repairs to our home to have our privacy.

2. People who run and are not polite and even ask permis-sion may be criminal-minded and subject to being appre-hended.

3. Rural Crime Watch and No Trespassing/No Hunting signs are visible from the front entrance fence/gate and other areas of fenced property defin-

ing our property.4. Our family and friends are

welcome and would never act in the above manner.

5. Our good friends like Tom Feeney was and we are thank-ful to have enjoyed many years of his friendship/loyalty to our farm. His son Tom, Jr. and fam-ilies are all still welcome.

6. Please be aware of all signs posted and please no entering on private property.

7. Extreme fire risks makes private property owners not wanting intruders on their prop-erty.

Thank you very much for your time to read this; and happy summer with safe travels to all.

Intruders crash family reunion

Several years ago, a Globe and Mail Report on Business

article highlighted the newspaper’s com-mitment to providing “perspective” in its news stories. I have long considered that a laudable and neces-sary component of professional journal-ism. Unfortunately, it’s all too rare in today’s print and electronic media.

One of the most egregious examples of failure to present per-spective - on Canada’s economic record - came in the aftermath of the Parliamentary Budget Officer’s report that the federal gov-ernment’s forecasted $1.4 billion surplus for the 2015-16 fiscal year may turn into a

$1.5 billion deficit. Opposition critics smelled blood.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair told reporters, “The Conservatives have always talked a good game on the economy, but they’ve never delivered on either”. Liberal Finance critic Scott Brison said, “Their economic record is in tatters”.

Such over-the-top commentary is just

part of the political game, especially so close to an election. But that doesn’t excuse reporters for failing to lend perspective. The most obvious ques-tion for both Mulcair and Brison is, “How significant is a $2.9 billion change in an $890 billion budget?” The answer is that it amounts to less than one third of 1 per cent.

Despite diligent searching, I couldn’t find any media reports that offered that vital perspective. Virtually all parroted the Mulcair and Brison laments about government fis-cal mismanagement. Days later, a new Globe and Mail/Nanos poll found that the Mulcair NDP’s had suddenly overtaken the Harper Conservatives as the

best choice to improve the country’s eco-nomic prospects. That impression will be very hard for Harper to turn around so close to an election. Some may be happy about that and others will not, but regardless of one’s pol-itical alliances, lack of cogent questioning and thoughtful analysis by reporters is anathema to presenting import-ant perspective to vot-ers.

Now let’s add another “perspective” question that alert reporters would have asked: “Given collapsed oil prices and the China-driven downturn in mining and forestry, isn’t it surprising that Canada can remain the only G-7 nation besides Germany not facing a major deficit?”

Media fails to provide perspective on Conservatives’ economic record

By Jim BaileyTimes Sports EditorSalmo’s Haley

Olinyk and the Canadian Junior girls goalball team are world champions, after mining gold last week in Colorado Springs, Col., at the IBSA World Junior Goalball Championship.

Olinyk helped the girls national team to a thrilling come-from-behind 4-3 vic-tory over the number 1 ranked Team U.S.A. in the final on July 31.

“I was shocked, I was like ‘Oh my God’,” said Olinyk. “That was the first gold medal that Canada has won at the Junior World championships, so after I learned that, I was like, ‘No way’.”

The 14-year-old Salmo Secondary stu-dent practices on the Nelson goalball team, and has been a mem-ber of Team B.C. for the past three years. Olinyk was scouted at the nationals by Team Canada scouts and invited to play at this year’s World cham-pionship in Colorado.

At the last world c h a m p i o n s h i p Canada’s girls team had a disappointing last place finish, so Olinyk was hoping for a stronger perform-ance two years later.

“I was thinking we were going to do bet-ter than we did last time . . . but I’ve learn-ed to keep my expecta-tions level, instead of being too high or too low,” she said.

The national jun-ior team opened up its world championship with a 4-4 tie with Germany, before drop-ping a 3-2 match to the heavily favoured U.S. squad.

The close games boosted the team’s confidence heading

into Day 3 of the tour-nament.

“That was a really good game to start the tournament off with,” said Olinyk, particu-larly because they played both games on the same day.

Canada then wal-loped China 8-2, before a convincing 13-3 win over Korea to advance to the semifinal.

Visiting teams already had to deal with Colorado’s mile-high elevation, and, while Olinyk says it was a challenge, some teams fared worse than others.

“I think it’s real-ly just endurance, because I think they (Germany) really spent themselves on the first two days, and they had nothing left for the last two,” said Olinyk.

Germany tied the U.S. 2-2 in the round robin and would face Canada in the semi-final. This time Canada dominated winning 10-2 to advance to the final against the U.S. who had beaten China 6-1 in the other semi-final.

With Canada guar-anteed a medal, Olinyk and her teammates went into the final not overly-confident but relaxed.

In a defensive battle, Canada found themselves behind 1-0 at the half, but the team rallied for four second-half goals on their way to the 4-3 victory.

“I was really sur-prised because, the States, we played them once and lost to them, but it was a close game,” said Olinyk. “Then we played them for gold, and we won, which was great because that game we went in, it was a game where we didn’t have pressure, so we

weren’t going to make a bunch of mistakes. We were going to get something either way, so we were happy.”

But rather than a silver lining, Canada’s goalball junior girls are golden for the first time ever at the World Junior Goalball cham-pionship.

Olinyk appeared in five of six games, and played a pivotal role in the final match against the U.S. She is also one of the youngest ath-letes to play for Team B.C. women’s team and is hoping one day to take her game to the highest level.

“I’m hoping to make Team Canada, the senior team that goes to Paralympics and stuff. The summer Paralympics are down in Rio next year, but I know I’m not going to make that, because

I’m fairly new, but I am really shooting for 2020 in Tokyo - that would be cool.”

Goalball is a fast-paced Paralympic sport played by the blind and visually impaired on a roughly basketball-sized indoor court. With three members per team, a ball with bells inside is whipped toward the opposing team, who, using only their hearing, try to locate the incoming ball, and lay out across its path to block the shot. Once blocked, the ball is immediately thrown back at the opposite team to try to score.

Goalball is fea-tured at the ParaPan Am Games in Toronto this week, and, coinci-dentally, Team Canada women’s team play the U.S.A today at 3:15 p.m. ET.

Juliana Zhou and the rest of the Trail Stingrays raced to great results in the pool at the Regional Swim Meet in Castlegar on the weekend.

The Trail Stingrays relay teams won seven medals including the girls Div. 2 relay team that swam to gold and silver. The team includes Sydney Dobie, Olivia Bruce, Indigo Miller, and Ines Boiridy-Graves

Stingrays relay teams run wild at Regional swim meetBy Times sTaff

The Trail Stingrays Swim Club made a splash at the Regional Swim Meet in Castlegar on the weekend.

Six swimmers as well as every Stingray relay team quali-fied for the B.C. Summer Swimming Association’s provin-cial championship in Victoria next week by placing in the top-3 in their division.

“The Stingrays had a fantastic perform-ance in the regional championship swim meet this past week-end in Castlegar,” said Stingrays coach Samme Beatson. “I am very proud of the teams performance. It was great to see all their hard work pay off.”

Logan Blair led the way for the Stingrays placing first in Division 6 boys 50-metre butter-fly, 50-m freestyle, and 100-m freestyle, while taking second in the 100-m butterfly, and will compete in the provincials Aug. 21-23.

For most swimmers, even those who qual-ify for provincials, the Regional competition is

the final swim meet of a busy and competitive season.

The swim club has faced unprecedented challenges the past two years, but the Rossland coach keeps her focus on the swimmers and ensuring the club remains viable, despite the divisive politics of Greater Trail munici-palities.

“I think the most important part of coaching a summer club is to make sure it’s fun while the kids learn new skills and stay active,” Beatson said “If you’re doing it right it should defin-itely feel more like play than work.”

For Beatson, who will also compete in the provincial swim meet, individual results are satisfying, but success is measured by more than just medals.

“I hope the swim-mers had as much fun as I did this year and hopefully they have found a sport that will keep them healthy, motivated and happy for years to come.”

In Div. 5 boys, Diego Greenwood raced to

first in the 200 metre Individual Medley, 100-m freestyle, and 100-m backstroke, and took home bronze in the 50-m freestyle. Juliana Zhou placed first in the Div. 4 girls 100-m breaststroke, second in the 100-m backstroke, and third in the 50-m butterfly and 50 freestyle.

Fionn Miller placed third in the Div 1 boys 50-m backstroke. Maddy Fraser placed third in the Div. 3 girls 50-m backstroke. Reuben Demmler

placed third in the Div 2 boys 50-m breaststroke.

All of the Stingray relay teams qualified for provincials by placing first or second in their events. The Div. 2 girls relay team consisting of Olivia Bruce, Indigo Miller, Sydney Dobie, and Ines Boiridy-Graves placed first in the med-ley relay and second in the freestyle relay.

The Div. 3 girls med-ley relay team also cap-tured gold with the com-bined efforts of Maddy Fraser, Avery Zanussi, Paige Marrandino and

Lea Boiridy-Graves. The boys Div. 5 relay team consisting of Fionn Miller, Reuben Demmler, Ripley Shubert and Diego Greenwood placed second in the medley and freestyle relays, while the Div. 8 women’s relay team with Keandra Billingsley, Juliana Zhou, coach Samme Beatson, and Kayla Fraser on the freestyle team and assistant coach Jennifer Chung on the medley team, placed first in both relays.

Peace arch NewsRevenge will have

to wait for members of the White Rock All-Stars baseball team.

Heading into Canadian Little League Championships – cur-rently underway in sub-urban Ottawa – White Rock head coach Bob Cumiskey joked that his team of 12-year-

olds would try to atone for a loss two years ago at nationals, at which the White Rock team of the day lost in the championship game to a team from East Nepean Little League (Ontario).

It was the first loss of the entire summer for that White Rock team, while the Ontario club moved on to represent Canada at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.

On Saturday, the two cities squared off once again, and for a second time, White Rock ended up on the losing end, falling 6-5 to their eastern rivals.

The loss dropped the All-Stars’ record to 1-1 at the nationals, hav-ing opened the tour-nament Friday with a resounding 14-0 win over Montreal’s Notre Dame de Grace Lynx.

White Rock didn’t stay with a .500 rec-ord for long, however, as the team rebounded Sunday with a 22-1 shellacking of Nova Scotia’s Glace Bay Colonels.

Against East

Nepean, the B.C. rep-resentatives took a 1-0 lead in the second inning, before both team’s bats came alive in the third.

In the top half of the inning, the host Ontario team plated five runs, and White Rock replied with four of their own, led by a home run from Trent Linehan and a double from Darius Opdam Bak.

The game stayed knotted at 5-5 until the fifth frame, when East Nepean scored one run, after a series of singles.

White Rock played their fourth game – against Manitoba’s Moose Jaw All-Stars – Tuesday but scores were unavailable.

The tournament continues throughout the week, with round-robin games scheduled until Thursday. Playoff rounds begin Saturday, with the championship final set for Sunday. The winner of Sunday’s title tilt will head immediately to the Little League World Series, where they’ll play as Team Canada.

“Garbage gardening” is an easy and inexpensive way to grow flowers and edibles using kitchen scraps - the pits, seeds and roots that otherwise would be headed to a landfill. It’s a fun way to recycle. Educational for the kids, too.

“Almost every unprocessed fruit or vegetable can be grown into a decorative houseplant,” said Deborah Peterson, co-auth-or of “Don’t Throw It, Grow It” (Storey Publishing, 2008).

“Some are perennials, others are annuals or bienni-als,” Peterson said. “You will be amazed as you discover how these beautiful plants can develop.”

Chickpeas, for instance, can be coaxed to flower in hanging baskets, and beets can be trans-formed into showy dish gardens with their colorful purple and green foliage surrounding con-trasting blooms.

Start new plants on the windowsill by using the byprod-ucts from roots, nuts, tubers, beans, bulbs, seeds or cuttings. The “garbage,” if you will.

Water, pebbles, soil or peat can be used as a growing medium.

“Every plant you grow should go outside for five months or so, depending upon where you live,” said Peterson, from Scituate, Massachusetts. “Winter becomes a holding pat-tern (for perennials), just keep-ing them alive. But once they’re out again, in summer, they’re wonderful.”

Marianne Ophardt, Washington State University Extension’s Benton County director, added, “Garbage gar-dening is done more to teach children about plants than it is to create new gardens.”

“Most of your kitchen scraps will be thrown away, but some can be used to provide a unique learning opportunity,” she said.

Children often want instant gratification, so keep things simple. Choose quick-sprout-ing plants like potatoes, beans, carrots, melons and radishes. “Pineapples wouldn’t be a good idea,” Peterson said; it takes pineapples two or more years to fully mature and produce flower stalks.

Beware trying to grow plants from imported fruits or vege-tables, like the papaya, kiwi or pomegranate commonly found in grocery stores dur-ing the winter, Peterson said. Study labels for the fruits’ ori-gin. Many have been irradiated, making them sterile, meaning they won’t sprout.

“I love mangos and every year try to get one to grow, but they just don’t,” Peterson said.

Also, avoid hybrid fruits and vegetables because their seeds won’t deliver the same taste.

Choose self-pollinating pro-duce, like tomatoes, Ophardt said. “You can save those seeds and get the taste you want.”

Citrus seeds are capable of becoming flourishing house-plants because they tolerate home temperatures and dry, indoor air. But under most home conditions, citrus plants started from seed will not flower or bear fruit, according to a University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension fact sheet.

“Indoor citrus plants seen with flowers and or fruits are special miniature varieties,” it

LONDON, Ont. - If you don’t know some-one who’s trying to give away zucchini right now, you prob-ably don’t know any-one who is growing it.

This summer squash grows eas-ily and in great abun-dance, and if it’s not picked when it’s rela-tively small - 15 to 20 centimetres (six to eight inches) - an individual zucchini can grow as big as your arm. And the thing is, the big ones are just as edible as the little ones, although they may be a little more fibrous.

Fortunately, there is almost no end to the culinary uses of zucchini.

“It grows so pro-lifically that when people had a lot of it, they got very invent-ive with what they

would do with it,” says Yvonne Tremblay, a freelance recipe developer, food stylist and cookbook author from Mississauga, Ont.

She always cooks zucchini and cites classic dishes such as ratatouille (a trad-itional Provencal stew of eggplant, zucchini, onion, tomato and peppers) or grilled summer vegetable medleys among her favourite uses. It’s also great in soups.

But zucchini is equally good raw - shredded into slaw, sliced into green sal-ads, eaten as a solo snack or as part of a crudite platter with dip.

It can also be made into jams, rel-ishes and pickles, can be used as a substi-tute for pasta, can be cooked into lasagna

or omelettes, used as a pizza topping, baked into chips or hollowed out and stuffed with almost anything from a mushroom mixture to cheese, meats, other vegetables or breadcrumb mix-tures.

Before stuff-ing a zucchini to be baked, the hollowed-out shell should be slightly baked on its own, cut side down, to eliminate some of the moisture content, Tremblay advises.

It lends itself equally well as an ingredient in des-serts, including cakes, cookies, chocolate brownies and endless varieties of breads or sweet loaves.

The word zucchini is Italian for “little squash,” but in some parts of the world it is known by its French name, courgette.

Versatile zucchini easy to grow and eat

Leisure

Dear Annie: I was divorced in 1972 and was given custody of our 2-year-old son. As much as I didn’t want the divorce, my husband was an alcoholic who refused help. I finally realized it was the only way to protect my son. My ex did not use his visitation rights and never paid child support.

I remarried when my son was 4. My new husband wanted to adopt him, but my ex at first refused to relinquish his rights. When my son was 6, my ex called early in the morning (drunk) and said adoption was OK. When our son turned 10, my ex called wanting to see him. I refused, saying it would be too disruptive to his life.

When my son was 18, I asked whether he wanted to know anything about his biological father, but he declined. I asked him again at 21, say-ing that people can change and that he should be prepared for the day when his bio dad shows up on his doorstep. He didn’t care.

Our son is now 45, and my ex recently called wanting to have our son’s contact information. Instead, I

gave our son his biological father’s contact information. He had no inter-est and tossed it away. He considers my husband to be his father.

To appease my ex (and hopefully stop him from trying to track our son down), I told him I would send him general information about our son’s life, along with a few pic-tures. But now I’m having second thoughts, because I know neither my husband nor our son would approve. I have done nothing so far and am stressed about the situation. I would appreciate your opinion. -- Second Thoughts

Dear Second: If your ex wanted to track down your son, he could prob-ably do so without any appeasement from you, but we understand why you are willing to indulge him with photos and information. Nonetheless, you should not have made such a promise without consulting your son. It is his decision, so talk to him. Explain that you don’t expect him to

want a relationship with his biological father, nor does he owe him any infor-

mation. But it would be a kindness to give the man some peace of mind after all these years. Whatever decision your son makes, please abide by it.

Dear Annie: I’m in a similar situation to “Not Jealous, Just Hurt,” whose husband’s ex-wife turned up at all the family funerals.

I’ve been married for 25 years and my husband’s mother and daughter think it’s perfectly OK for his ex-wife to be included in family gatherings. His mother visits with his ex-wife now and then, and the woman is also welcome in her home. None of them, including my husband, seems to care how I feel about the situation. I don’t feel welcome. I’m ready to call it quits. -- Hurt as Well

Dear Hurt: Your husband has a daughter with his ex-wife. That means his daughter will want her mother at all family gatherings. It means your mother-in-law will invite the ex

because her granddaughter wants her there. It means your husband will tol-erate this for his daughter’s sake. You don’t have to like this situation, but after 25 years, we are surprised you haven’t found a way to deal with it. Unless your husband is actively inter-

ested in his ex, this situation should not be so threatening. Please talk to an unbiased third party and figure out what you can live with.
