abducted Kienan Hebert

SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Randall Hopley should receive a sentence of eight years’ jail plus a 10-year long-term supervision order as well as dangerous offend-er status, Crown prosecutor Lynal

Doerksen argued Thursday in the sentencing hearing for the 48-year-old man who abducted Kienan Hebert in September 2011.

But defense counsel William Thorne said Hopley is not a dan-gerous offender and should be sentenced to two years in prison after consideration for the time he has served in custody awaiting sentencing.

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.

• 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.

Vitamin C and Lysine work together to build collagen, which strengthens and holds together the coronary cells. Inadequate amounts of the vitamin C mean poor collagen. Coronary cells then fall apart just as bricks do without a good mortar. Coronary arteries,

closest to the heart, receive the greatest pressure and without enough vitamin C the collagen weakens. This sets the stage for a heart attack. The work of Dr. Sydney Bush

shows that vitamin C + lysine can help reverse the process.

A weekly column brought to you by the McKim Journalism Club.

Hello Kimberley. We’re talking at you from McKim School. We have a great school with a lot of wonderful things going on.

We’ve already had our first spirit activity. Wacky Hair Day brought out some of the best and the worst hair do’s ever. Intramural points were re-ceived for each funky hair-do. A great time was had by all.

We would like to welcome Mr. Scott to McKim. After coaching vol-leyball at the high school level for eight years, he is now coaching our boys. He loves watching kids having fun while learning.

Clara McLeod is honored to be di-recting, “Willy Wonka and the Choco-

late Factory” with McKim students. Clara is a Selkirk student with a pas-sion for drama. She has a great deal of experience in theatre. Some of us saw her as Enjorlas in the Selkirk produc-tion of Les Miserables last year.

McKim Buddy Camps were a huge success. Two or three classes went out to Wycliffe Regional Park each day and learned about nature. We went to different stations and had fun partici-pating in different team building ac-tivities.

This week is an exciting one. Mon-day is Thanksgiving and Tuesday through Thursday we have an early dismissal so our teachers can say wonderful things about us to our par-ents. We also have our first Recogni-tion assembly of the year next Friday.

Exciting stuff.

Climate change adaptation

initiative sees successes

throughout the Basin

  (Columbia Basin) – As countries and citi-zens around the world discuss the latest global scientific report on cli-mate change recently published by the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change, com-munities in the Colum-bia Basin are already preparing thanks to their participation in the

Communities Adapting to Climate Change Ini-tiative (CACCI), spear-headed by Columbia Basin Trust (CBT).

Since 2008, CACCI has helped communities increase their resilience to climate change im-pacts, from offering one-day workshops to help-ing with year-long plan-ning processes.

“Participating com-munities have taken im-portant steps by sharing climate impacts with residents, undertaking projects that help plan for change, and consid-ering climate change sci-ence when making deci-sions,” said Neil Muth, CBT President and CEO. “We applaud the com-

munities that are plan-ning and becoming more resilient to these changes and invite other communities to connect with us to learn more.”

The District of Spar-wood, for example, has been taking action on wildfire risk reduction, emergency prepared-ness, water supply and flood prevention. The District has also helped local residents under-stand what climate change impacts and ad-aptation mean by pilot-ing a community en-gagement and commu-nications project last year centred around the theme “Nature Changes, We Adapt.”

The senior class at the Kimberley Independent School were busy touring town this week in search of adventuresome hands-on learning. They first found themselves at the Mark Creek Dam taking part in a Columbia Basin Trust Initiative with Patti Kolesnichenko. The kids are studying the water-shed and how Kimberley supplies water to the houses and businesses around town. They also participated in a CBEEN program with Dave Quinn. They headed down to Wycliff Park and got “immersed” in the cool waters in search of the land locked Kokanee Salmon. The kids are studying the life cycle and physiology of the salmon and took on the task of dissecting one of dead fish they found.

From Page 1Doerksen argued

that Hopley has a pat-tern of behaviour in-volving young boys, starting when he was 15 and continuing until 2011, when Hopley ab-ducted three-year-old Kienan Hebert from his bed in Sparwood, bringing him back four days later.

There was no sexual paraphernalia found in the cabin where Hop-ley kept Kienan for those days, Doerksen told the court.

However, Doerksen said, a sexual motive can’t be dismissed.

“Why does a male abduct a child? I think it’s safe for the court to conclude that it’s to sexually assault the child,” Doerksen said.

“The main element is that Hopley will take a child for his own pur-poses.”

The abduction of Kienan Hebert was Hopley’s second at-tempt – and this one successful – to abduct a child from home, and it was a premeditated act, Doerksen contin-ued, referring to Hop-ley’s attempted abduc-tion of a 10-year-old boy in 2007.

“It may have been impulsive through the selection of the victim, but the nature of what was found in the house Kienan was held in shows it was not an im-pulsive act.”

For the defense, Thorne said the abduc-tion of Kienan and the attempted abduction in 2007 are not con-nected to a spate of sexual offenses against children that Hopley committed as a teen.

“This should not be considered a pattern of

behaviour at all,” Thorne said.

“(Doerksen) sug-gests that having an in-terest in children itself establishes a pattern. I respectfully disagree. It has to be more than that.”

Hopley “grew out of” the type of sexual offenses he committed as a teen, Thorne said.

“What we have here to consider is a crimi-nal past, beginning in the middle of his teen years and extended into his early adult years, of sexually as-saulting children. Then there was nothing for quite some time.”

Hopley holds that in 2007, his motive for

Sally Macdonald photoWilliam Thorne, defense counsel for Randall Hopley, speaks to media after a hearing.

trying to abduct the 10-year-old boy in Sparwood was to re-turn the child to his bi-ological mother, who offered Hopley $2,800 for the task.

And, Thorne said, Hopley has consistent-ly said that he abduct-ed Kienan Hebert be-cause he felt he was unfairly treated by po-lice and the court sys-tem following the 2007 crime.

“His explanation for the Hebert abduction – strange as it may seem, hard to believe even – is the explanation he has consistently given.”

Crown and defense agreed that sentencing should take into ac-count the fact that Kienan was returned to his home.

“The fact that Kienan was returned unharmed is a major mitigating factor and the sentence should re-flect that very signifi-cantly,” said Thorne.

Doerksen said the fact Hopley returned Kienan changes the sentence the prosecu-tion is seeking.

“Had he not re-turned the child, the Crown would have had no problem seeking a sentence longer than 10 years,” he said. “Re-turning the child does

not right the wrong but it is better than if he did not.”

Thorne disagreed that Hopley should be considered a danger-ous offender, instead arguing for a five-year global sentence for the abduction of Kienan, breaking into the He-berts’ home, and for breaking into the cabin in Crowsnest Lake where Kienan was kept. Thorne said Hop-ley should receive credit at time and a half for the time he has spent in custody await-ing sentencing, bring-ing the sentence down to two years.

Instead of the long-term supervision order sought by the prosecu-tion, Hopley should be placed on probation following that sen-tence, Thorne argued. That probation would likely be served in a larger community than Sparwood.

“The chances of Hopley going back to Sparwood are nill,” Thorne said. “If he is placed on probation, there is a strong possi-bility he would be in a different centre where there are more Correc-tions staff to closely su-pervise him.”

Doerksen suggested a sentence in the range of nine to eleven years for the combined charges, with time served credit as day-for-day, making the range between seven and nine years. That should be followed, Doerksen argued, by 10 years of supervision that would be similar to parole with strict conditions. If Hopley broke the parole condi-tions, Doerksen ex-plained, he would re-turn to jail.

Hopley will learn his fate on November 29 in Cranbrook.

Manage stress naturallyimprove energy, sleep Better, Reduce Cravings

Our ability to adapt to stress depends upon optimal function of the adrenal glands. When excess stress overloads our adrenal glands symptoms can include: fatigue,

insomnia, anxiety, depression, low back pain, asthma, allergies, blood sugar problems, hormonal imbalances, irritability, headaches, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammatory conditions.

The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement.

AdrenaSense® is the original solution I formulated for patients and others who have found it very effective.

The Original AdrenaSense Formula: The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have been proven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These include Rhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, which in combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervous system helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular and hormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; as well as provide vital energy.

It would not be appropriate to wrap up Reach a Reader for this year without acknowledging the assistance of the Kimberley Dynamiter Hockey Club, who have assisted with the campaign each year. This year, Nitro players played some afternoon street hockey with local students.

From Page 1Oakley reported that

while he had sought feedback from Council on some of the issues surrounding longboard-ing that had come up at previous meetings, Council didn’t have much to say on the mat-ter. Oakley said that could be because the group wasn’t a formal committee of Council, or perhaps the issues just wasn’t a priority at the moment.

The main issues that have come out of the meetings are the need for education on both sides of the issue — a need for the general public to understand the sport of longboard-ing and a need for long-boarders to be respect-ful of public property and rules of the road. And while the issue of some sort of bylaw has been discussed, the idea was given an emphatic no from all longboard-ers.

Oakley reported that City CAO Scott Som-merville was doing some research into what other communities are doing around long-boarding.

Goodwin said that although he’d had some feedback from commu-nity members, he was still unsure whether it was a problem or a per-ception.

“And if it is a prob-

lem, what practically can we do? he asked, agreeing that enforcing any bylaw would be dif-ficult.

“The Mayor appreci-ates the discussion going on,” Oakley said. “I’m just interested n where the future of longboarding is and having input into keep-ing it safe.”

Oakley said he thought it was a great idea for more mature longboarders to educate those just beginning in the sport, which was something that came out of the first meeting.

Selkirk student Gus-taf Hagland recently held a safety event as part of his Outdoors BC work and reported that there were about 10 youth who attended. He was able to speak to them about basic safety and helmet use. He and fellow student Aiden Gilbert will be looking into the possibility of a longboard safety rodeo at McKim next spring.

Cpl. Chris Newel, at-tending as a representa-tive of the Kimberley RCMP said that while he had been getting quite a few complaint calls about longboards, they appeared to be drop-ping off in volume.

“They are dropping off. Maybe people are reading about it in the paper and noticing that there is a committee

Surprise of the week: the club of Afri-can presidents (aka the African Union) has held a special meeting

and declared that African presidents should be immune from prosecution for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes while they are in office. They are taking this step, they say, because the International Criminal Court is unfairly targeting Africans: all eight cases currently under in-vestigation are about crimes committed in Afri-can countries.

“We would love nothing more than to have an international forum for justice and accountability, but what choice do we have when we get only bias and race-hunting at the ICC?” said Presi-dent Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya (who by a strange coincidence is currently under in-dictment by the ICC). “The ICC...stopped being the home of justice the day it be-came the toy of declining imperial pow-ers.”

The AU is not demanding perpetual immunity for its presidents. It only wants to reject the evil meddling of Western im-perialists, and to keep African heads of state free from prosecution while they are still in office. What could be more reason-able than that?

If the AU gets its way now, the victims of current African leaders who commit crimes against humanity will only have to wait until they retire to see justice done. True, some African leaders stay in power for a long time – e.g. Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea (32 years),

Jose Eduardo dos Santos of Angola (32 years), Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe (31 years), and Paul Biya of Cameroon (29 years) – but Africans are patient people.

Except that they may not be that pa-tient any more. Twenty years ago the ac-cusation that the ICC is just an instrument

of imperialist oppression and Western racism would still have played well in Af-rica, but the audience has got a lot more sophisticat-ed. The AU’s modest pro-posal has been greeted with an outcry all over the continent, from Africans

who know that their leaders can be just as cynical and self-serving as leaders any-where else.

The most eloquent protest came from Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the 82-year-old hero of the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa. “Those leaders seeking to skirt the (ICC) are effectively looking for a license to kill, maim and oppress their own people without consequence,” he said. “They simply vilify the institution as racist and unjust, as Hermann Goering and his fellow Nazi defendants vilified the Nurem-berg tribunals following World War II.”

So is the ICC really a racist organisation that unfairly targets African states? The fact that all eight cases currently being prosecuted involve African countries cer-tainly sounds suspicious. So does the fact that three of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, which has the right to refer cases to the ICC, have not accepted the court’s juris-diction themselves. But things are more

complicated than they seem.One hundred and twenty-two coun-

tries have already ratified the Treaty of Rome that created the ICC in 1998, includ-ing two-thirds of the countries in Africa and all the countries in Latin America ex-cept Cuba and Nicaragua. The Chief Pros-ecutor of the ICC is an African (Fatou Bensouda of Gambia), as are five of its eighteen judges.

Four of the eight cases now before the Court (Uganda, Mali, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Central African Repub-lic) were referred to the International Crim-inal Court by the African countries them-selves. Two were begun by the ICC’s Chief Prosecutor (Kenya and Côte d’Ivoire). And only two of the seven new cases now under consideration (Afghanistan, Georgia, Guin-ea, Colombia, Honduras, Korea and Nige-ria) are in African countries.

This is not a conspiracy against Africa, nor is the AU defending African rights. It is an exclusive club of African presidents that is attempting to get its own members, the leaders of Sudan and Kenya, off the hook, and to protect the rest of the mem-bership from any future legal proceedings.

As former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said, it would be a “badge of shame” for Africa if they get away with it, but they may not. They can easily dismiss the opinions of the “international com-munity” (whatever that is), but they may find it harder to ignore the indignation they are arousing among their own citi-zens.

OpiniOn/EvEnts

As the B.C. Teachers’ Federation exec-utive moseys back to the bargaining table after a summer off, I’m remind-

ed of former education minister George Abbott’s thoughts on his time trying to es-tablish a civil discussion with the province’s most militant union.

It started with a lecture.“In my first meeting with

the BCTF, and I gather this is characteristic of all first meetings with education ministers, the TF advises that yes, they are a union, but first and foremost they are social activists and agents of social change,” Abbott recalled. 

Their buzzword is “social justice,” which is portrayed by leftists as superior to plain old justice, in ways that are seldom de-fined. So what exactly are the goals of this “social change”? Here’s some of what I’ve gleaned.

Parents may recall the 2008 introduc-tion of an elective high school course called Social Justice 12. This was mainly the result of intense protest by a couple of gay activist teachers, and the ministry cur-riculum describes its emphasis on inclu-sion of racial, cultural and sexual differ-ences.

That’s all good, and it’s now bolstered by urgently needed anti-bullying and em-pathy efforts at all grades.

Then there is the BCTF version. It’s not just a battle against “racism, homophobia and sexism” but also “poverty and global-ization.”

The BCTF has a quarterly “Social Jus-tice Newsletter” filled with predictable economic assumptions. Readers of the lat-est issue are reminded at length that the United Nations takes a dim view of Cana-da’s record on human rights, including a

right to housing. Undefined “poverty” statistics are cited, although Statistics Canada has nothing but incomplete relative measures.

One article describes a social justice club for Grade 2 and 3 students, with activi-ties that include collecting

food bank donations and “writing to the premier asking for a systemic plan to ad-dress child poverty.”

Leaving aside whether eight-year-olds can understand what “systemic” means, this rhetoric is taken directly from the tired old NDP policy book. It rests on the cher-ished myth that poverty is imposed by right-wing governments that refuse to double the minimum wage and pile more taxes on “the rich.”

And what about that darned “globaliza-tion”? The BCTF still has a 2001 teaching guide on its website promoting the claim that Nike is uniquely guilty of making shoes and exercise gear in Third World sweatshops.

Teachers are to instruct students how to organize a boycott of Nike, thus passing the received wisdom of campus radicalism to the next generation.

This was all debunked years ago. Are Adidas, Reebok, Apple and Microsoft any

different? Has nothing changed in 12 years? A quick web search will show this is a stale old tale with a convenient villain, to avoid complex questions.

A BCTF official assures me this unit is being updated. Once that one is done, maybe they could check over their teach-ing unit on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal, another labour of the union’s “social justice” truth team.

Entitled “What We Stand To Lose With Pipelines and Supertankers,” it boasts wildlife photos and “key sources” from the left (Canadian Centre for Policy Alterna-tives) to the far-left fringe (Pipe Up Net-work). It is another protesters’ guide de-signed around a pre-determined view-point.

BCTF bosses love to talk about the im-portance of “critical thinking.” These one-sided caricatures of Nike, Enbridge and other familiar villains seem designed to produce the opposite.

They remind me of George Orwell’s classic novel 1984, where loyal party mem-bers are required to focus on selected ene-mies in a daily ritual called the Two Min-utes Hate.

Perhaps this is a clue to why our school system produces so many students lacking in employment skills and bursting with demands for government-imposed wealth redistribution.

‘Social justice’ as indoctrination

Letters to the editorBomber Command

This letter is addressed to David Wilks as our local MP. It is also directed to the Harper government, and particularly to the Prime Minister, former Defence Minister Peter MacKay, former Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney, and Chief of Air Staff Lt. Gen. Andre Deschamps.

I am writing this as an open letter be-cause I have contacted all of the above named, and have yet to receive a helpful response from any of them.

This issue concerns the way in which this Harper government deals with our mil-itary veterans. It would seem that once our Armed Forces personnel are no longer on active service, they are treated en masse as a nuisance problem. The latest insult to our veterans is to deny them the financial sup-port they need to deal with the various inju-ries and handicaps they suffer as a result of their military service.

A case in point concerns a friend of mine, a local veteran who served in the Royal Canadian Air Force in World War II. This gentleman was a pilot who flew bomb-ers in 35 raids over occupied Europe and Germany. He survived the war and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his skill, devotion to duty, and bravery. He was a member of Bomber Command, which helped shorten the war in Europe, at a cost of 10,000 Canadian aircrew lives. During and after the war, the men who flew in Bomber Command were not acknowl-

edged as having been part of a very import-ant and costly military campaign.

In 2012 the British government recog-nized this oversight and made amends by erecting a memorial in London and by awarding the surviving veterans a “bar” to add to their military decorations. The Cana-dian government followed the British lead but did not immediately act in putting the new decoration in the hands of qualified veterans. Most of these vets who still survive are in the 85 to 95 age range, and they are dying every day.

In July 2012 my friend Dave, aged 91, very much looked forward to receiving his Bomber Command decoration, and so I sent letters to the politicians mentioned above to request that the awards be made as soon as possible. This was not done. By October 2012 Dave was in hospital with cancer. I sent another letter to Mr. Wilks et al, providing this information and request-ing that some recognition be made to Dave while he was still with us. This was not done. Dave died the following month.

I recognize that the machinations of bu-reaucracy take time, and are impersonal. But at the very least, a phone call or card from our own MP would have been a wel-come gesture. Shame on this government. And shame on those people who vote to keep it in power.

Lest we forget!

shelter BoxWords cannot express how much we

appreciate what our community does for ShelterBox Canada. On September 30, one day after another fantastic Kimberley Com-munity Fall Fair I mailed a cheque for $1,450 to ShelterBox Canada in order that they could ship one ShelterBox for 10 Syrian Refugees costing $1,000. This is the largest amount ever raised in two days at the Fall Fair during our six years at the Fair. Kimber-ley Rotary has raised $80,000 since Septem-ber 2008.

The world-wide Syrian Refugee Appeal to help 2 million in refugee camps, 4 million homeless within Syria a total of 6 million in need has got off to a great start across Cana-da. The goal is to raise $3.2 million world-wide to allow ShelterBox International to purchase an additional 5,000 ShelterBoxes to the already 4,500 currently in place.

The continuous support by the Kimber-ley Daily Bulletin, The Jim Pattison Broad-cast Group, the hundreds of volunteers who make the Fall Fair a success all deserve our sincere thanks. Tourism Kimberley would be delighted to see the addresses of Shelter-Box donors on September 28 and 29. Kim-berley is a great place to be.

Thank you all.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

The Kootenay Ice ex-perienced polar oppo-sites over the weekend by being on both ends of a shutout.

The Ice were held scoreless on Saturday in a 3-0 loss to Medicine Hat, but returned home to keep Prince Albert off the scoreboard in a 2-0 win on Sunday.

Ice crease guardian Mackenzie Skapski was in net for both games, recording his first shut-out of the new campaign against the Raiders.

“We’ve been incon-sistent as of late, includ-ing myself, and today was a bounce-back game for me compared to yes-terday, so I’m glad to get the first one of the year,” said Skapski.

“…We all weren’t happy with our effort yesterday [Saturday]. Ev-erybody needs to be on board for us to be suc-cessful and yesterday there were quite a few

passengers and today, everybody was on board, and the results came.”

The Raiders, who were in town on a four-game road trip, have cooled since their hot start of five straight wins to open the season. The team is led by former Kootenay Ice head coach Cory Clouston, who signed on to coach the club in the offseason, re-placing Steve Young.

Clouston was an as-sistant to Ice head coach Ryan McGill during his first tenure with the team from 1997-2002, before taking on the top job for five years. During Clous-ton’s reign as head coach, he became the franchise’s winningest coach, until McGill re-cently surpassed it a few weeks ago while back for his second tenure.

McGill said it was nice to visit with his for-mer colleague before the game, but when the game gets going, it’s all business.

“Once the puck drops, it doesn’t matter, you want to win the game,” said McGill, “but certainly when I came out, gave him a little hello and it’s good to see him back in the league and they have a nice team over there.”

Skapski earned his shutout against the Raid-ers with 30 saves and was, by far, the best play-er on the Kootenay squad. He robbed Gage Quinney, who was all alone at the side of the net, with a sharp leg save, and also stood tall on a few odd-man rushes throughout the night.

“Our goaltender was there to make two key and huge saves in the second period, made a couple big saves in the third period, but we need to be better as a group, for sure,” said McGill.

On the other side of the rink was Nick Mc-Bride, the stopper for the Raiders, who played a solid game as well, limit-ing the Ice to only one goal in 30 shots.

He was sharp all game, save for an effort by Descheneau, who took a feed from Rein-hart inside the offensive zone an sneaked a low shot into the net.

Luke Philp added a second goal with the empty net in the dying minute of the game to make it a 2-0 final.

Though McBride was solid in goal, the Ice had their chances to put more pucks into the net,

something that McGill took issue with.

“Obviously, we were happy that we won, but we can’t continually rely on Reinhart and Desche-neau to score goals,” Mc-Gill said. “We need some secondary scoring from guys who are getting plenty of ice time and ample opportunity, so sooner or later, it’s going to bite us in the you-know-what.

“We need to get guys that can drive to the net, get second and third chances to the net and lessen our turnovers in the neutral zone.”

Combined, Reinhart and Descheneau have scored 15 goals for the Ice this year, which equals 51 per cent of the team’s offensive produc-tion.

Special teams wasn’t a factor at all against Prince Albert, as no pen-alties were called on ei-ther side for the whole game.

Earlier, on Saturday, the Tigers scored once in each period to beat the Ice in Medicine Hat.

Goals came from Miles Koules, Cole San-ford and Chad Labelle, while Skapski made 18 saves in defeat.

Both teams were shut out in five powerplay op-portunities.

Kootenay is tied with the Hitmen at 11 points in the Eastern Confer-ence, however, Calgary holds the upper rung at fifth place in the stand-ings with a game in hand.

Nitros split with Rockies and Rockets in weekend action

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

The Nitros split their weekend action with a road loss to the Rockies, but remain undefeated in their home barn with a 6-3 win over the visit-ing Rockets.

After defeating the Rockets in a mid-week game last Wednesday, the Nitros headed up to Invermere for a rematch, but lost after being held scoreless over two peri-ods.

Columbia Valley held a 2-1 lead after the first period, on goals from Dean Smith and Nigel Swab, while Darren Martin answered for Kimberley.

Peter Matthews added a goal in the mid-dle and final periods for the Rockies to close out the game.

Justin Miller faced a shooting gallery in net for the Rockies, stopping 42 shots for the win, while Jeremy Mousseau turned away 11 shots in goal for the Nitros.

Special teams was a bit of a struggle, as Kim-berley scored once in seven opportunities,

while the Rockies capi-talized once in four tries with the man-advan-tage.

Kimberley returned home for their second weekend matchup on Saturday against the Rockets, building up a 5-1 lead going into the third period, which ended with a 6-3 final score.

Jared Marchi had a monster night with two goals and five assists, while Mousseau made 20 saves for the win.

Though Golden struck first, the Nitros answered back with six unanswered goals over the course of the game.

Connor Beauchemin got on the board first after the halfway mark of the opening period, but the Dynamiters closed out the first period with three goals scored over a

span of just over two minutes.

Brandon Bogdanek and Marchi got theirs on separate powerplays 28 seconds apart, while Dallin Wolf drew blood with 2:24 remaining in the period.

Jason Richter and Brady Revie added goals in the second period; Richter on the power-play and Revie on a shorthanded effort.

Marchi got his sec-ond of the game five minutes into the final period, but Golden added a pair from Braeden Allkins and Daniel Dahlin to close out the game.

Kimberley’s power-play was deadly, with three goals in five op-portunities, while Gold-en scored twice with the man-advantage.

Kimberley remains on top of the Eddie Mountain Division with 15 points—three ahead of the Thunder Cats, which bring up second place. Overall, Nelson holds the top spot in the KIJHL, and are still un-defeated in regulation after their first 10 games.

Bombers earn rare win, beat Montreal 34-27

Bill BeaconCanadian Press

MONTREAL - Will Ford caught a touch-down pass and ran in another as the Winni-peg Blue Bombers kept their slim CFL playoff hopes alive with a 34-27 victory over the Montre-al Alouettes on Monday afternoon.

Clarence Denmark and back-up quarter-back Jason Boltus also had TDs and Sandro DeAngelis kicked two field goals for Winnipeg (3-12), which must win its last three regular sea-son games and have Montreal lose its last three to make the post-season.

S.J. Green and Tyrell

Sutton scored and Sean Whyte had four boots for Montreal (6-9), which had its two-game winning run ended.

The Bombers ended a four-game losing streak. Their second win in Montreal this season gave them a 2-1 edge in the three-game season series against the Alou-ettes.

It was a slow-mov-ing, flag-filed game be-tween two clubs that have struggled for most of the season.

A wet field led to eight first-half turnovers and a 17-17 score at the intermission.

Desia Dunn picked off a Josh Neiswander pass on Montreal’s first

possession to set up a DeAngelis boot.

Late in the first quar-ter, Whyte fumbled the snap on a punt to turn over the ball on downs. On the next play, Max Hall hit Ford with a 17-yard TD pass.

Troy Smith replaced Neiswander in the sec-ond quarter and led a 60-yard TD drive capped by a 12-yard toss to Green.

But Smith was picked off on his next series, and Neiswander was back in. After Mike Edem recovered a Hall fumble, Neiswander hit Duron carter with a 40-toss to the Winnipeg one, where Sutton ran it in for a touchdown.

NFL boss: Redskins owner ‘way down the road’ in considering name change

Schuyler DixonAssociated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas - NFL Com-missioner Roger Goodell says he be-lieves Washington owner Daniel Sny-der is “way down the road” in consid-eration of whether the team should change its nickname.

Goodell got a question about the latest debate over the name during a question-and-answer session with Dallas season ticket-holders before the Cowboys’ game Sunday night

against the Redskins.The commissioner says he knows

Snyder “feels strongly” about keeping the name but “wants to do the right thing.”

A small group of protesters gath-ered near the Cowboys’ stadium hours before the game.

The Redskins were playing for the first time since President Barack Obama reignited the debate by saying he would “think about changing” it if he were the team’s owner.

Cardinals looking to spoil the party againFreDeric J. Frommer

Associated Press

WASHINGTON - The Los Angeles Dodg-ers are hoping to win their first World Series title in a quarter-centu-ry. To do it, they’ll have to get past baseball’s big roadblock.

In the past two years, the St. Louis Cardinals extended even longer droughts in Pittsburgh and Washington.

And in 2011, the Car-dinals wrecked the party for the Texas Rangers, the franchise that moved from D.C. to the Lone Star State four decades ago.

Former St. Louis slugger Mark McGwire, now the Dodgers bat-ting coach, said he wasn’t surprised his old club stands in the way of a title for his new team.

“You know what? I think everybody figured you’re going to have to go through St. Louis to get to the World Series,” McGwire said before the start of the NL

championship series. “Here we are.”

And not doing too well, so far. The Cardi-nals led the Dodgers 2-0 in the best-of-seven matchup going into Game 3 Monday at Dodger Stadium.

To fans in other cit-ies, it must seem unfair. While they’ve been waiting for generations in Kansas City, Seattle and elsewhere for that special season, the Car-dinals seem to show up every October.

Making their 10th playoff appearance in 14 years, the Cardinals are in the NLCS for the third straight season. They’re looking for their third World Series championship since 2006.

And along the way, they keep breaking hearts.

Meanwhile, the Pi-rates haven’t won a World Series since 1979, when Willie Stargell and the gang grooved to the Sister Sledge disco hit “We Are Family” and

defeated the Baltimore Orioles in seven games.

A victory by the Car-dinals over the Pirates in the decisive Game 5 of the NL division series ensured that Pittsburgh will go at least 35 years between crowns.

Last year, the Nation-als were hoping to bring a championship to Washington for the first time since the Jazz Age. But the Cardinals ral-lied from a 6-0 deficit to win Game 5 of the NLDS and prolong Washing-ton’s wait, which will hit

90 years next season.Washington’s first

and only World Series championship came in 1924, when the old Sen-ators defeated the New York Giants in Game 7. The winning run scored on a bad-hop grounder by Earl McNeely that bounced over third baseman Freddie Lind-strom in the bottom of the 12th inning. Walter Johnson, who had lost his first two starts, won the seventh game by pitching four scoreless innings in relief.

Benito Floro is the head coach for the national men’s team soccer team.

neil DaviDSonCanadian Press

Far from home, Ca-nadian soccer is getting a reboot under Benito Floro.

Long, demanding classroom sessions. De-tailed video reviews.

“One camp is equiv-alent to three months of club football,” said vet-eran midfielder Julian de Guzman, who cap-tained Canada last time out.

Floro, 61, brings with him a wealth of experi-ence, having managed clubs from Real Madrid in Spain to Monterrey in Mexico. He’s trying to instill that knowledge in a Canadian squad that has seen little success of late.

Floro says he needs a lot more time with his Canadian talent, espe-cially since a lot of the young Canadians in MLS are not starting.

“We need a lot of camps,” he said in a media conference call Monday.

Floro’s teachings also take time to ab-sorb.

“The experience that we’re going through with Benito is kind of a culture shock right

now,” said De Guzman.“It’s a new kind of

mentality and culture to comprehend,” he added.

De Guzman says it reminds him of when he first went to play in Spain at the age of 24 after playing in Germa-ny.

“It was night and day,” he said. “So it’s going to take time for the Canadian national team and Canadians to understand where he’s coming from.”

The veteran Spanish coach will see his team in action Tuesday when Canada, ranked No. 106 in the world, takes on No. 53 Australia at Cra-ven Cottage, the west London home to Ful-ham.

It’s Floro’s second camp as Canadian coach, following one last month in Spain.

The World Cup-bound Australians will be a motivated opposi-tion. Tuesday’s game is the first since manager Holger Osieck, a former Canadian national team coach, was fired in the wake of succes-sive 6-0 defeats to Brazil and France.

Interim coach Aure-

lio Vidmar will guide the Socceroos against Canada.

“For a team that just qualified for the World Cup, they definitely need to get something going themselves,” said de Guzman. “It’s just around the corner. I’m sure they’re looking at this match as some kind of redemption match, something to get them going and bring them back up.

“We’re on the same page as well. Even

though we’re not in a World Cup, we’re pretty much in the same sce-nario where we need these kind of games against these type of teams just to regain that confidence and that positive feel again.”

De Guzman notes the last time Canada won a game was a 3-0 decision over Cuba in Toronto in October 2012. Canada has gone 0-8-3 since then, out-scored 21-2 during that winless run.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be aware of a change in your energy, and recognize how you might become more fussy and critical. The good news is that you are detail-oriented. You will accomplish more if you are left alone. Take that much-needed space. Tonight: Make it an early night. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Zero in on what you want, espe-cially if someone challenges you. This person, whom you might be quite attached to, could demand more attention. You are capable of holding out, but ask yourself if it’s worth it. A new idea will pique your interest. Tonight: Where the crowds are. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Anger marks your decisions as of late. You might not want to push as hard as you have in the past. Someone you must behave respectfully around could be overly demanding. Adjust your attitude, and the interaction will change. Tonight: There could be

wildness on the homefront. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your sensitivity might be less of a problem if you would learn to detach. The way in which some of you will decide to achieve this distance could vary. Be very careful in the next few weeks, as you are likely to lose your tem-per. Tonight: Touch base with an older friend. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have said a lot about how you feel and what you expect. At this point, you might be inclined to let go, which is not a bad idea. Others will be coming forward with ideas and investments. Re-member, there is always a risk in saying “yes.” Tonight: Your treat. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Mars moves into your sign, which gives you additional en-ergy and sex appeal. If you do not manifest the negatives of this transit, such as being picky and/or critical, you will see a change in how others approach you. Tonight: Accept someone’s invitation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be locked into a proj-

ect that you can’t seem to get out of. If you become irritated or angry, you are unlikely to ex-press those feelings. Know that there might be a cost to sup-pressing your true feelings. You even might get sick! Tonight: As late as you want. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your creativity emerges quite suddenly in a discussion or meeting. You initially might be frustrated, but it won’t last long. You’ll begin to reframe a situation until you gain a clear-er vision. A male friend could become very assertive. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to reconsider a matter involving real estate and/or your domestic life. Extreme feelings could be affecting de-cisions at the moment. Stop. Investigate alternatives more openly. You could feel pulled in different directions. Remain centered. Tonight: At home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your ability to transform could startle those who know you well. Do not take a comment

personally; instead realize what might be going on with the oth-er person. Your ability to make firm decisions could define the day. Tonight: Use your imagina-tion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Use good sense with money matters. You could be wonder-ing what would be best to do under the present circumstanc-es. Someone with whom you have a financial involvement could become contentious if he or she does not get his or her way. Tonight: Pay bills first. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You feel energized, and it ap-pears that others are reacting to your high energy. Someone even might become contentious in order to let you know that he or she counts, too. Try to walk in this person’s shoes. You will transform as a result. Tonight: Do what you want.

Dear Annie: We belong to a dinner group with six married couples. One of the couples divorced after the husband caught his wife having an affair. He no longer comes to the dinner parties, but the ex-wife still shows up and brings her new (married) boyfriend. They have been together for three years. Here’s the bigger problem: She flirts with my husband at every social activity. She al-ways gives him a hug when we run into her. He is always pleasant and chats, when I’d rather he was less chummy. One time, on New Year’s Eve, I saw my husband put his arm around her waist as she moved to the music with another man. I watched (humil-iated) as the three of them swayed back and forth. I assume it was the alcohol that prompted him to do this. However, it apparently fu-eled her fire. At one dinner party, she leaned across the table toward me and made a com-ment about my husband’s “size.” I kept my cool and replied that it wasn’t her business, but my husband, who was sitting right next to me, said nothing. At the dinners, we act like friends, but I am sorely tempted to give her a piece of my mind. My husband is getting aggravated with me. He claims he’s never cheated on me and she’s never touched him inappropriately. He says, “What am I supposed to do?” I asked him to delete her cell number, but he has not done that. This woman is not my friend, and I think she’s crossed a line. Any suggestions? -- Had Enough Dear Enough: As always in such cases, the problem is less about the woman and more about your husband’s reaction. He allows her flirting and even encourages her, and then becomes annoyed with you for doubt-ing him. It undermines your trust. There is no reason for him to have her phone num-ber in his contact list. Ask him to delete it while you are watching. Then tell him all of his future responses to this woman’s inap-propriate remarks should make it clear to her that he is not interested. If he refuses, the next step is counseling. Dear Annie: I have noticed that whenever there is a tragedy involving the death of a child, people place stuffed animals and dolls at the scene. Please, in memory of these children, tell readers to donate the toys and dolls to the local police or fire departments, hospitals or a cancer center where they will bring comfort to living children. -- Pennsyl-vania Dear Pennsylvania: That’s a lovely idea, and we hope people will consider it, al-though not everyone will want to. There is some sentiment attached to marking the actual spot where a tragedy occurred. We understand why loved ones might object to having these tributes removed, but in many instances, they are a safety hazard. Also, stuffed animals that have been left out in the rain and mud are no longer in any condition to donate. The handling of these roadside memori-als belongs to the local municipality. Many allow toys, dolls, etc., to stay for a specified period of time, and then the department of transportation removes them. In some ar-eas, temporary memorials are replaced with a single permanent marker. The state of Del-aware bans roadside memorials altogeth-er and has instead provided the Delaware Highway Memorial Garden as a tribute. You should inquire with your local department of transportation and suggest the objects be donated. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Worried Wife,” whose 44-year-old husband drinks too much and refuses to see a doctor or den-tist. In addition to the advice that you gave her to contact Al-Anon and make sure he has a valid will and that his affairs are in or-der, she also should make sure he has a lot of insurance. She will need it to raise their four children alone. -- K. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

NEWS/fEaturESdaily townsman / daily bulletin

I have had a few let-ters this year telling me that most or some of what my guides and I have predicted has come true. However, they are still waiting for the other events which we have predicted to happen. I feel this has been a long standing criticism of those who have observed or have tried to investigate psy-chics and for those who have come for readings. I have also found this to be quite annoying when doing a reading for oth-ers why my guides and I are not on the same time frame so to speak.

I have been wanting to write about the time and space frame when doing a reading for an individual. As I have mentioned I have re-ceived a few emails and the most recent one just the other day. I was talking to my guides and we have decided to choose this column to explain why when doing a reading for certain in-dividuals this can hap-pen. This means this does not happen in all readings with all indi-viduals in fact in my ex-perience quite the con-trary.

I mean, we may be a week or a month or even a few months out but really I’m not God, so give me a break.

However, there are clients that phone, email, or come back to us in a year and even up to two years later and say, “You know I was wondering about what you told me but it did take up to nine months before I understood what was happening. Then I remembered the reading I had with you, but your timing was not accurate.”

As I mentioned I have been well aware of the timing issue I have with my guides as well as all other psychics have on this plane. It frustrates me at times and when clients come and say, “It hasn’t hap-pened yet.” It certainly causes me to fret and doubt my abilities at times. That’s my lesson to continually have faith in my guides and myself so thank you for that. However, doing so many readings over the years and analyzing why this time space problem is

not accurate I have compiled a list of not excuses but reasons this is happening.

Please be aware I am a scientific, realistic psy-chic. I am truthful and blunt and try to be as precise in my readings as I can. Which can be hard when the client doesn’t even know how to ask the question.

We have become so accustomed to this that this is the easy part. So here are some of the reasons when talking to my guides and analyz-ing my readings over the years this is happening.

1. The client thinks that I am a phony. This means someone has heard about me from whatever venue and has decided to see if I am a real or phony psychic. This type of attitude does not breed for a good reading. Believe me when I say, you only have to say hi to me when you walk in and I know if you are going to give us a hard time.

We also know that we are going to be tested and this really annoys my guides. The reason for this is because it shows disrespect to my guides and as they have told me dishonours what we are trying to do on this plane, which is to educate, help and try to help humanity to the best of our abilities. The client then proceeds with his or her ques-tions of trickery and the more they snicker at me and try to trick us the more the energy be-comes static and then my guides get angry and I start to get agitated with the client and then being the impatient brat that I am sometimes; I get a little Carl Jungian and I hit them hard and fast with the truth about why they have come to see us and what their problems are.

Then the client is shocked that we know things no body else does. This then breeds an attitude with the cli-ent of defensiveness, denial, resentment, fear and most times sorrow

and confusion.This type of scenar-

io goes on for about a half hour and what a waste of our time and energy and the clients money.

Most clients then tend to settle down

and realize that we are here to help and care about them and readily able to help them with their problems. The cli-ent then opens up to their issues and the time is over and the energy is still a little static

However, once they understand this most come back for another reading and we have noticed the timing be-comes more accurate.

2. We pick up on the energy that is in your aura at the time you are coming for a reading. This means if you are going to walk out of the reading with the same molecular structure of energy then the timing should be quite accu-rate according to our predictions.

However, if you have a car accident, or di-vorce that we predicted but you could not ac-cept emotionally or did not believe it would happen, any serious ill-ness, any deaths that you are emotionally traumatized by then the timing in these instanc-es will definitely be out for your reading. It doesn’t mean that it will not come to be but it will take a little longer.

I have also noticed with clients who I do readings for on a regular basis when any of these events happen in their lives. I will tell them one of two things: A. the event will not happen that they have learned the lesson, or B. the time we made a particular prediction about a par-ticular problem will ei-ther be advanced or will take another six months to happen.

Unfortunately I am running out of space for this weeks column and I will continue with the second part next week.

He has traveled on horseback from the capital of the Mongo-lian Empire to the edge of the Eurasian steppe, ridden a bicycle across Russia to China, and rowed a boat along the Yenisey River through Siberia to the Arctic Ocean.

Next, Australian ad-venturer, author, and filmmaker Tim Cope – creator of the award-winning docu-mentary ‘On the Trail of Genghis Khan’ – is coming to Kimberley. Audiences in both Kimberley and Cran-brook loved the film, and his live presenta-tion at McKim Theatre promises to be capti-vating indeed.

Cope, a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society and National Geographic Adventur-er of the Year Honoree in 2007, has written two books – ‘Off the Rails: Moscow to Bei-jing on Recumbent Bikes’, published in 2003, and ‘On the Trail of Genghis Khan: An Epic  Journey through the Lands of the No-mads’, just released in September. He is the creator of several doc-umentary films and guides trekking jour-

neys to remote western Mongolia.

Tim’s presentation will be a behind-the-scenes look at his 6,000-mile, three and a half-year quest to ride horses from the an-cient capital of the Mongolian Empire, Karakorum, to the edge of the Eurasian steppe on the Danube.

Aided by a series of stills and video that Cope captured en route, he will walk the audience through a journey that began as a boyish dream to im-merse himself in the

fence-free life of Mon-golia – though he could barely ride a horse be-fore he began – and be-came an odyssey into the nomads’ fascinat-ing past as powerful horse societies that helped shape the course of human histo-ry, and the precarious state that nomad cul-ture finds itself in the modern post-Soviet world. It is a story full of drama, romance, and history, marred by tragedy and ending in triumph.

This will be at once a unique evening of in-

spiration and insight into the tapestry of Eurasian steppe soci-ety, and a rare adven-ture reminiscent of a forgotten age.

Tim Cope will speak at McKim Theatre on Friday, October 25 at 7:30 PM, presented by Wildsight Kimber-ley-Cranbrook. Doors open at 7 PM, and ad-mission is by donation – $10 per person sug-gested.   Refreshments will be available.

VICTORIA – The B.C. environment ministry has released its prom-ised study of the current state of crude oil spill response capability, tracking the growing tonnage of petroleum shipping along the West Coast and estimating re-sponse time and effec-tiveness if oil was to spill at sea.

Oil recovery in com-puter simulated oil spills could be as high as 25 per cent after five days, or as low as four per cent for Alaska crude, with another quarter evapo-rating.

The study was com-missioned to back up Premier Christy Clark’s conditions for B.C.’s ap-proval of expanded heavy oil shipments, ei-ther from twinning the TransMountain pipe-line from northern Al-berta to Burnaby, or the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway proj-ect across northern B.C. to a new tanker port at Kitimat.

Environment Minis-ter Mary Polak said the

study shows the need to increase response capa-bility before the B.C. government would con-sider increased oil ship-ments.

“While we respect federal jurisdiction over marine spills, we must ensure B.C.’s interests are being met, and that means adding more re-sources to protect our coast,” Polak said.

The three-volume re-port also details the huge and growing traffic that exists now.

Shipping data show a 17 per cent increase in marine traffic volume from 2011 to 2012. An estimated 110 million cubic metres of petro-leum products per year are shipped, about a third of which is crude-like bunker oil carried as fuel on ships of all kinds. The biggest tanker cargo is 38 million cubic me-tres of mostly Alaska crude a year.

The study includes recovery estimates for seven oil spill scenarios, six of which assumed a spill of Alaska North Slope crude that has been shipped by tankers

down the B.C. coast to U.S. refineries since the 1970s. Two scenarios in-volve an Alaska crude spill in Dixon Entrance, with four per cent recov-ery in summer an three per cent in winter.

One scenario exam-ines a summer-time spill of diluted bitumen in the Juan de Fuca Strait, with response from Canadian and U.S. ships and oil recovery equipment. It estimated 31 per cent oil recovery after five days, in sum-mer conditions with daylight-only opera-tions.

Diluted bitumen tanker shipments from Kinder Morgan Cana-da’s Burnaby terminal hit a high of 69 in 2010. The expansion would mean 300 tankers a year in and out of Vancouver harbour.

The federal govern-ment has launched its own research project to model the drift and be-haviour of a bitumen spill in the ocean around Kitimat, and funded marine weather fore-casting to facilitate ship-ping.

Gaps wide in B.C. oil spill scenarios

VANCOUVER — The current shortage of skilled tradespeople in Western Canada is so dire that the B.C. Con-struction Association is returning to Ireland this month to hire 600 peo-ple, said the group’s vice-president.

In fact, even if one-in-five students graduating from high school in B.C. during the next three years were to pursue a trade, there still wouldn’t be enough workers to fill shortages in the prov-

ince’s construction in-dustry, said Abigail Ful-ton.

Not everybody agrees with the recruitment drive, especially the province’s labour lead-ers who argue employers can find skilled, union-ized Canadian workers to fill immediate, vacant positions.

Yet, a consensus is developing that there will be a shortage of skilled workers in the coming decade, as pro-ponents of the liquefied natural-gas industry, hy-dro-electric projects and Nuka ReseaRch aNd PlaNNiNg gRouP

oil and gas pipelines push their proposals for-ward.

“There’s lots of evi-dence to suggest we’re not doing enough to train construction work-ers in skilled trades in British Columbia, and if even half these projects come through we’re going to have a crisis un-less we start now to deal with the problem,’’ said Jim Sinclair, president of the BC Federation of La-bour.

The provincial gov-ernment’s own statistics indicate there will be more than one-million job openings over the next decade, and more than 153,000 of those will be among trades, transport, equipment operators and related occupations.

In the B.C. construc-tion industry, about 30,500 jobs were expect-ed to go unfilled by 2012, according to the associa-tion’s own statistics.

To address some of the problem, the associ-ation is organizing and hosting the Western Canada Construction Job Expo Oct. 31 in Bel-

fast and Nov. 2 in Dublin, where it will represent about 30 employers, half of them from B.C., said Fulton.

Wanted will be work-ers in more than 50 con-struction trades, from bricklayers to framing carpenters, power-line technicians to welders. Even architects and structural engineers are in demand.

Fulton said the asso-ciation learned the Irish apprenticeship system was one of the best, and skilled trades people would be able to transi-tion to Canada and earn their Red Seal, an inter-provincial standard of excellence in the trades.

She said the associa-tion also learned there was an abundance of trades’ people.

The Irish economy crashed in 2008 and still hasn’t recovered, and last year’s job expo drew 20,000 people, she said, adding unemployed tradespeople lined up outside the job fair, down the street and around the corner for as long as two days.

B.C. construction industry turns to Ireland to fill jobs: “crisis” looming

canaDian PressWINNIPEG — A Uni-

versity of Manitoba study suggests that full-day kindergarten makes no difference over the long haul to kids with lower literacy skills.

The research team examined full-day kin-dergarten in the Division Scolaire Franco-Manito-baine and in the schools with full-day kindergar-ten in St. James-Assini-boia School Division.

Marni Brownell, se-nior scientist at the Man-itoba Centre for Health Policy, says results show while students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds made im-provements in literacy levels in full-day kinder-garten, the earlier gap with other children re-turned in later years.

Brownell said the rea-son the gap reappears is because parents were not reinforcing literacy at home, were not reading to and with their kids, but they were modelling watching TV instead of reading themselves.

“There’s lots of re-search that full-day kin-dergarten has an effect in getting kids ready for Grade 1,’’ Brownell said.

“The literature shows

that full-day kindergar-ten may not be the best program for closing the gap. Putting all your eggs in one basket doesn’t make up the disadvan-tage.’’

DSFM and St. James-Assiniboia de-fended the benefits of their programs and chal-lenged Brownell’s con-clusions.

Denis Ferre, superin-tendent of DSFM, ques-tioned comparing data from diagnostic assess-ments of students rather than standardized tests.

The DSFM is very happy with the results of full-day kindergarten, Ferre said. “Our first pur-pose has to do with cul-tural identity and lan-guage learning. More time in the language gives you better fluency,’’ he said. “We’ll never go back.’’

No advantage to low-income kids to have full-day K: study
