Kootenay-Columbia has more ele-mentary students sitting in desks than anticipated, if a daily head count is any indication.
Superintendent of Schools Greg Luterbach has compared projected num-bers with actual student enrolment and notes there are 44 more children signed up for K-9 education in School District 20 (SD20). But the spiked graph also shares a place for some dips, which include about 41 fewer secondary kids, and 22 fewer alternate students at Kootenay-Columbia Learning Centre (KCLC).
Overall, SD20 counts about 19 stu-dents shy from the K-12 list than antici-pated.
“We’re in that strange situation the Ministry of Education calls funding pro-tection, so that we’re guaranteed no less money than 98 and a half per cent of what we had last year,” Luterbach explained. “The fact that we are going to be 20 less students than we projected is not going to impact the bottom line at all.”
The head count is done almost daily, he told to the Board of Education at its first regular meeting of the school year, held Monday night.
But the numbers presented to trustees are from Sept. 22.
Fruitvale and Twin Rivers elementary schools both have 15 more students than projected while the high schools, J. L. Crowe and Stanley Humphries secondary schools, plus KCLC are hanging at the opposite end with a combined total of about 63 fewer kids than predicted.
The latter numbers may climb once administrative staff is given enough time to navigate a new, slow moving system.
“It’s really nice to see a projection that’s going upwards, instead of being at that lower plateau,” said trustee Rosann Brunton.
But the relief may only be temporary, Luterbach concluded.
“As much as those numbers are better than we thought, I would just have you look at the kindergarten numbers that say, 257 students. That is 30 less than a few years ago so you kind of ride the ebb and flow,” he explained. “You’ve got a birthrate; you’ve got in-migration, and you’ve got out-migration.
“Sometimes we win that equation, and sometimes we lose that equation.”
It’s a pleasant surprise, nonetheless, to see a rise in a district that has been deal-ing with dwindling enrolment for some time. Though there’s no clear answer for the bump up, one can expect it’s attrib-uted to new families moving into the area. But, the same could be assumed for the lower kindergarten numbers.
Luterbach looked into the possibility of losing that young set to other educa-tion options in the area, including St. Michael’s Elementary School and Ecole des Sept-Sommets, but there is no indi-cation that all the kindergarten students went there.
“Unfortunately, there must’ve been some out-migration of those families,” he said.
In the spring, SD20 is busy guessing what enrolment will look like based on a formula that starts with birth num-bers from Interior Health. The projection number determines how many teachers are allocated to schools, but this is often adjusted.
Two additional teachers have been hired on to help alleviate the influx of elementary students. Though Fruitvale obviously needed another person on staff the second, less obvious, hire was for Rossland Summit School.
“We knew that if everybody showed up we would be very tight,” said Luterbach. “Everybody did show up, plus one.”
After weighing several options, such as reorganizing the classrooms or even bussing extra kids to Webster Elementary School, it was decided that an extra hire was the best option.
More elementary students in SD20 than projected

The last thing Greater Trail motorists may thinking about this week, amid beautiful blue skies, is that winter is on its way. But Jonny Anderson (front), tire technician from TireCraft in East Trail, already had cars on the hoist this week changing summers to win-ter. The ministry reminds motorists that B.C. winter tire rules kick in today.

A mother bear and her cub were shot in Sunningdale Wednesday morning.
RCMP Sgt. Darren Oelke con-firmed an officer and his police dog attended the scene alongside
two conservation officers.“This was conservation's call
and their decision to shoot the bears or not,” Oelke told the Trail Times. “They are swamped with bear calls today (Wednesday),” he added. “And went from Sunningdale to Warfield to the
school, and then to Salmo's school.”
Oelke says historically with black bears, conservation doesn't have the time or resources avail-able to relocate the bruins.
Relocated black bears often return many miles to the exact
location and resume the same behaviour, he added.
The Trail Times has made numerous calls to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service since the summer, but to date, all que-ries have gone unanswered.

More charges have been laid against two young men follow-ing a Sept. 6 incident that began with a Grand Forks armed robbery and ended with a foot chase near Rossland.
Rylee Andrew Shipley, 18, of Nova Scotia and 19-year old Collton Emery Knowles from Alberta, are now charged with two other armed robberies, one in Kamloops and the other in Chilliwack, in the days preceding the Kootenay Boundary crimes.
Following an investigation by the Kootenay Boundary Regional RCMP, as well as Kamloops and Chilliwack detachments, Sgt. Darren Oelke released details about the duo's crime spree on Tuesday.
Oelke, from the Greater Trail RCMP, reports Shipley and Knowles used a firearm to rob a pizza deliv-ery person of his car in Kamloops on Sept. 3. The pair drove the stolen vehicle to Chilliwack, then robbed a convenience store in disguise and with a firearm.
Following that incident, Shipley and Knowles travelled to Grand Forks and committed an armed robbery against a pizza delivery per-son just after 8 p.m. Sept 6, taking
his vehicle and cash.Then, at 8:45 p.m. a Trail police
officer encountered the stolen vehi-cle, a 2004 Pontiac Sunfire, heading toward Rossland on Highway 3B.
When police attempted to stop the vehicle, the perpetrators fled at high rate of speed, lost control on a corner and struck a rock wall.
One male was arrested at the scene of the accident, but the other fled on foot and was tracked down a short time later by a police dog.
"It is a complex file so all the evidence is not yet before crown," Oelke told the Trail Times following the Rossland arrest. "Every day we are uncovering more of their crime spree in the Central Interior and the Fraser Valley."
Both men are charged with mul-tiple offences including robbery with a firearm during the commis-sion of an offence for the Kamloops incident, and using a firearm and disguise during the Chilliwack rob-bery. Those add to the Grand Forks offences of robbery with a firearm, possession of stolen property, pos-session of a prohibited firearm, flight from police, and other fire-arm-related charges.
Knowles next court appearance is slated for Oct. 20, and Shipley's Nov. 17.
More charges against armed robbers arrested near Rossland
FROM PAGE 1“Too often we concentrate on
the outcome (either the destruc-tion of the bears, or their haz-ing or relocation) and we gloss over the underlying reasons why this action had to be taken on in the first place,” says Frank Ritcey, provincial coordinator for WildsafeBC.
The more important question, asked Ritcey is “Why does this happen?”
“If people were to manage their attractants properly (gar-bage, fruit trees, bird feeders, pet food, etc.) then there would be little reason for a bear to be in an urban setting at all,” Ritcey explained.
Sharon Wieder, from Rossland/Trail WildsafeBC, has mentioned many of the area’s residents are very good at managing their attractants, he added. “But all it takes is a few people who are not working at keeping wildlife wild and communities safe to undo the good the others have done.”
Compared to 2014, WildsafeBC has documented a spike in local bear calls his year. According to the organization’s data, 47 bear reports from the Rossland/Trail area came in August compared to three in 2014, and September’s call volume more than doubled to 76 from 33 last year.
He says a spring with lots of green grass and wild food for bears followed by an early berry crop kept bear calls low until mid-summer.
“However, the long hot dry summer had berry crops finishing early in most parts of the province and this has prompted bears to look elsewhere for food,” Ritcey said. “Unfortunately they look to our backyards and when they are rewarded with unsecured garbage or unpicked fruit they are going to stick around.”

Hazel MillerHow do we sum up our dear, spunky, passionate Hazel…she was absolutely incredible.
Our beloved mother, daughter, Grammy, aunt, sister, and friend Hazel, left us suddenly but peacefully in her
sleep, of a heart attack while visiting her family and newest granddaughter in Northern Alberta. Hazel, will be remembered
for her constant smile and laughter, her energetic enthusiasm for life and family, her wicked dance moves, and the passion for her family.
Daughter of William (passed at age 43 of heart attack) and Edna McIntyre of Vancouver, BC, Hazel McIntyre was born March.14, 1950 with a smile on her face that rarely went away.
An amazing, sparkly spirit, Hazel has given so much of her love, her wisdom, and her compassion for people freely, beautiful things to carry with us for the rest of our lives.
Hazel’s done everything from working in the student union building at UBC with her girlfriends (where she met and married a cute engineer named Steve), to being a spandex clad mid 80’s aerobics & fi tness instructor, to dancing with the much more refi ned Maxwell School of Dance in Castlegar, BC. She started her own children’s clothing line, then went on to do production work for a local designer.
Despite being diagnosed with an aggressive form of arthritis, Hazel continued to show her zest and enthusiasm for life by training and completing her fi rst marathon in Bermuda. She then moved on to a number of charity road bike races, and fi nally triathlons, training with her beloved Mountain Spirit Triathlon Club in Nelson, BC.
Hazel and her husband of 30 years, Steve Miller, devoted themselves to raising their 4 children, Garnet Miller (Heather), Shelby Gielen (Scott), Lindy Miller (Seykoya 8yrs), and Darci Wiwchar (Kim, Hudson 2yrs, Bronwyn 2 weeks). She is also survived by her younger sister Sue Smith (Bruce), and her beloved niece Sara McIntyre (Jose), and nephew Matthew Smith
Hazel had so much love in her to give that even after devoting herself to her children and 3 beloved grandchildren she extended herself to the Salmo Community. After raising her family, Hazel graduated from the Social Service Worker program at Selkirk College in Castlegar, BC in 1992 and began her work in Salmo, which spanned over 23 years with the RCMP Victim Services, as well as the Salmo Community Services. Hazel’s passion for her beloved playgroups and her work with young families in Salmo is a true testament to her compassionate and selfl ess nature.
It is because of this passion that in lieu of fl owers, our family is encouraging donations to be made to the Salmo Community Services, with ‘Hazel’ in the memo, to continue her work.
A memorial for Hazel will take place on Saturday, October.3, 2015 at Lakeside Park in Nelson, BC at 2:00pm, with an after party and at her triathlon team’s favourite hang-out, Finlay’s Bar & Grill and a slideshow of her beautiful life at 5:00pm. Come prepared to celebrate, laugh, and remember with love this incredible woman.
Please contact [email protected] for more information.
In Loving Memory
of Rossland and formerly Sydney, Australia.
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our son Tim suddenly on 29th August, 2015 at the age of
29. Tim was predeceased by his adored sister Anne-Louise.
He is survived by his parents Raymond (Rossland) and Christine (Sydney) and much-loved siblings Mary-Ellen (Rossland) and Michael (Sydney). Sadly missed by his numerous relatives, friends and colleagues the world over. Tim was big in stature, huge in heart and spirit and well-regarded by all he met, and was an advocate for those he loved and cared for regardless of their condition, leaving an indelible impression on them all, even after meeting them once.
Rest in peace, Tim.Tim has been laid to rest alongside his sister
at Mountain View Cemetery in Rossland.

OPINION
The trouble with really long election campaigns is that they run the dan-
ger of becoming extremely boring. We have only so much tolerance for the daily surfeit of repetitive hair, clothing combos and conscripted backgrounds of ‘typical Canadians’.
It would help if all of the leaders would grapple with the really hard ques-tions, and give straight-forward answers that looked more like thought-ful leadership and less like scripted talking points.
What might help is a Trump-like willingness to speak off the cuff, with passion. It would also help if it were allied with evi-dence that the hard ques-tions had received some hard thought before the passion was deployed.
For example, this sum-mer Canadians faced the consequences of climate change: raging wildfires, record drought and sal-mon refusing to return to their natal rivers.
So why are the three major parties still talk-ing as if the sale of
Canadian carbon will con-tinue relentlessly in the marketplace? Why are the downstream, offshore impacts of Canadian coal, oil and natural gas com-bustion not addressed in National Energy Board project assessments? Who is talking about dramatic state investments in high technology and alternate energy infrastructure? Why are new pipelines still broadly endorsed?
How about dealing squarely with job pros-pects for millennials in a country where 1.35 mil-lion people are unem-ployed in the workforce, and many are fearful of Monday morning layoffs? Too many recent college and university graduates are underemployed in the service sector.
In cities like Vancouver and Toronto, they will never own a house. What incentive do they have to vote for old-line par-ties that offer targeted tax breaks, or public amen-ity infrastructure con-struction, or doctrinaire socialism as solutions to problems that have clear-
ly defied old patterns of thought?
Consider the patterned response of the three mainstream parties to the refugee crisis. The right’s calls for retrenchment, with more Syrian bomb-ing added for good meas-ure, is yet another case of looking backwards for solutions.
The centre and left have focussed on reintro-ducing past responses to the Hungarian vic-tims of communism, the Vietnamese boat people, and the victims of Idi Amin’s Ugandan reign of terror as plausible con-temporary solutions.
Social media have been
full of stories, research and contextualizing on many new causes of refu-gee flight: a decade of atypical drought in the fertile crescent, driving hundreds of thousands of farmers and their fam-ilies into cities incapable of producing alternate employment; sectarian warfare aided and abetted by global powers eager to suppress their minorities’ aspirations of autonomy; the wide-scale leasing of African continent arable lands for food security in Asia, and a pervasive lack of hope by the young that existing systems of governance and econom-ic management will ever make anything better.
If there is one certain predictor of impending societal stress and war-fare, it is the large num-bers of young men who see no economic future. They have in our global history often been sub-ject to the power whims of clerics, tyrants and capitalists, each of whom have their own needs for exploiting young armies to private ends. God forbid
this continues.So how about, in the
final weeks remaining in the lengthy federal cam-paign of 2015, we ask our aspiring federal par-ties and their leaders to tell us just what the ‘next economy’ might look like? This will be the begin-ning of the post-carbon economy, which relies on technology start-ups to drive employment and human happiness. It will require a significant departure from what was and what is. Simply mud-dling through won’t cut it, either.
So far in this campaign, the only party coming to grips with any of this is the Green Party. As early adopters, they are prod-ding us forward.
The cruel reality is that the old parties are still playing the songs that the electorate likes to hear. The citizens deserve bet-ter, don’t we?

DOUBLE SUITE
the h ckey pool is back!Watch the Trail Times pages for your chance to enter the
2015/2016 Hockey Pool.Results will be printed weekly in the Trail Times.
Enter your team to win great prizes!Following the somewhat nasty letter Ms. Rodlie sent to the “Letters to the Editor” section of the Trail Times (“Community service costs should be shared,” Trail Times Sept. 29) regarding my ear-lier letter about taxation for the new pipe bridge (“Pipe bridge fees tied to Trail property values not fair,” Trail Times, Sept. 25)I feel I need a rebuttal.
Firstly let’s clarify a few points. Yes we did join the City of Trail for water services. There were actually four options avail-able to us.
1. Keep the existing water system and run it as a com-munity water system similar to what Genelle has
2. Let the RDKB take it over3. Join the City of Trail4. Install our own personal
wells.Following some negotia-
tions, and with cost estimates provided by an engineering firm hired by the City of Trail, the citizens of the Waneta area voted to join the city, which at the time with the city look-ing to extend its boundaries, seemed like a logical fit.
The terms of this agreement included the fact that the prop-erty owners in the Waneta area
that would be connected to the water system were responsible for the entire costs. The city would not be helping us by taxation or any other method, pay for the new water system. Also it was made very clear to us that sewer services were not part of the deal and wouldn’t be unless the city chose to extend those services to our area.
Pretty archaic way of think-ing on the city’s part, hey Lana, not including all the residents in all the services available in the city and sharing the costs.
With the rules in place we have lived on as part of the City of Trail now for 15 years.
Suddenly a major develop-ment in Trail. The old bridge is condemned and a new “pipe bridge” is needed for sewer services. Note the words “pipe bridge”.
As we are already exempted from sewer services it is natural to assume we won’t be included in costing for the sewer line and the structure needed to support it.
Personally I believe it is fair to pay my share for the walk-way section, it is a part of the city that has equal access just like the parks, arena complex, swimming pool, and so on. All
things I am already paying taxes for.
Also I have no problems with school taxes or any others as inferred by Ms. Rodlie. Interesting though, although she feels “that it makes a better community and benefits all of us when we share” I am willing to bet she has never gone to the City Hall and demand that she pay her share of taxes to help support the people in Waneta that are still paying for their water services over and above everyone else in the city and will be for many more years to come.
My first letter was maybe poorly written as Ms. Rodlie didn’t seem to get the point about flat rate versus assessed value and nowhere did I say I wouldn’t pay any taxes, but I do want clarification on the deal we have with the city going back to the water system install.
If we are expected to now pay for the new sewer line bridge which is for “sewer services” we should get those services provided to us.
When you already have all the services it is easy to criticize those that don’t.

Taxation and services go hand-in-hand
An editorial from the Corner Brook Western Star
Purveyors of quack medi-cine have a stock defence when confronted with clear contradictory evidence. It goes like this: everyone else is a shill.
That’s right, everyone — doctors, researchers, admin-istrators, even journalists — have all been bought by Big Pharma.
It’s a truly insane idea when you think of it: all those tens of thousands of everyday pleb-ians toiling away in labs and clinics under the guise of sci-ence, when in fact they’re all pawns or henchman of a mas-sive corporate plot.
Sometimes, though, you can see how such paranoia develops, particularly when pharmaceutical companies act like absolute monarchies.
Last week, the U.S. firm Turing Pharmaceuticals opened a big can of whoop-ass on itself when it announced it was increasing the price of a well-known parasite-fighting drug by 5,500 per cent.
Daraprim, which fights the
food-borne illness called toxo-plasmosis, has been on the shelves since the 1960s. It was already a little pricey at $13.50 a pop. When Turing took it over, it immediately jacked the price up to $750.
Consumers hit the roof. Advocates for HIV/AIDS?patients were particu-larly shocked, since the drug is a vital part of their regime.
But the company has a monopoly, so it can do what it likes.
In their defence, repre-sentatives said they will use revenues to explore further treatments for toxoplasmosis, and fund campaigns to draw further awareness.
That didn’t satisfy any-one, including Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Last weeky, she unveiled a plan that would regulate against excessive gouging on certain drugs.
“Price gouging like this in the specialty drug market is outrageous,” Clinton said.
Her plan would actually bring the U.S. in line with other countries. At the
moment, American drug com-panies have free rein to price drugs as they see fit, as if they were cars or designer clothes.
Not so in other western nations.
“In Europe, Canada and Australia, governments view the market for cures as essen-tially uncompetitive and set the price as part of a bureau-cratic process — similar to how electricity or water are priced in regulated U.S. utility markets,” a commentary on vox.com explained.
When you think of the fact that millions of Americans had little to no insurance before Obamacare, it’s easy to see how a chronic distrust of the medical establishment has fes-tered for so long.
Turing has done itself no favours in its response to the outcry. Chief executive Martin Shkreli has even resorted to name-calling on social media, referring to one journalist as a “moron” unable to “think logically.”
For a company at ground zero of a very serious debate, that’s hardly a logical reaction.
A chronic distrust of the establishment

will start the sea-son in the American Hockey League after the Arizona Coyotes’ assigned the Warfield native to their affiliate Springfield Falcons on Sunday.
Cunningham, who signed a two-way con-tract with the Coyotes in June, was one of 11 players moved, as the Coyotes cut their ros-ter down to 31 skaters
“With Max Domi, Anthony Duclair, Dylan Strome, Henrik Samuelsson, newcom-er Matthias Plachta and the strong play of Jordan Martinook all competing for the opening day roster, plus the need to get our established NHL players ready for the regular season, (coach) Dave Tippett and I feel this is the prudent decision,” said Arizona GM Don Maloney.
Cunningham, a 2010 fourth-round draft pick of the Boston Bruins, was traded to the Coyotes last sea-son, and played 32 games with Boston in 2014-15 before lacing them up for 19 games
with the Coyotes to end the season.
Joining the 25-year-old former Beaver Valley Nitehawk in Springfield are for-wards Tyler Gaudet, Lucas Lessio, and Brendan Shinnimin, defenceman Dakota Mermis, and goaltend-ers Marek Langhamer and Niklas Treulte.
Assigned to the Ontario Hockey League were Christian Dvorak, London Knights, and 2014 first-round draft pick Brendan Perlini to the Niagara Ice Dogs.
Defenceman Keith Aulie and forward Patrick Dwyer were released.
The Coyotes still need to cut nine more players before the start of the NHL season on Oct. 9 against the L.A. Kings.
Arizona is winless in its four presea-son matches, which include a 1-0 loss to Vancoerver Canucks on Monday and a 4-0 shutout at the hands of the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. The Coyotes finish off exhibition play with a game against the San Jose Sharks on Friday.
Luck to race sleddogs in Dryland WorldsBY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports EditorRossland skijorer Dana Luck will
compete against the world’s best when he takes his team of racing dogs to the 2015 International Federation of Sleddog Sports (IFSS) Dryland World Championships in Bristol, Quebec at the end of this month.
It sounds impressive, and indeed it is once Luck explains that dryland racing is similar to dogsled racing without the snow, and with the sled exchanged for a bike, scooter, or cart pulled by one-to-eight charging canines.
“The four, six, and eight dog cart classes are much more like dogsled-ding,” said Luck. “The two-dog scooter is the closest thing to skijoring for me. There is also bikejoring (one dog and driver on a bike), and canicross (one dog and a person running behind), but I don’t usually race in those classes.”
Luck has competed in skijoring, a combination of skate-skiing and dog-sledding, for the past four years and was ranked number 1 in Canada and seventh in North America by the International Sled Dog Racing Association (ISDRA) in 2014.
The transition to dryland racing was a natural one for the 34-year-old dog-handler, who started his interest in skijoring after a sleddog tour with Salmo’s Al Magaw and Spirit of the North Kennels.
“For me, it started as a way to have fun in the off season but I am becoming hooked on it and try to get to a couple of dryland races each year,” said Luck. “Dryland is very exciting and makes it possible for me to do what I am passion-ate about for a longer season.”
The avid skijorer also races his dogs in the more traditional sleddog events in winter, but finds the dryland training in the summer and fall months a great way to keep both he and his dogs sharp and in shape.
“I love working with my dogs and they love to work so the more races I can get them to the better for both of us. I try to work hard to accomplish my goals racing, so dryland racing is nice way to keep focused through the off season.”
The major difference between skijor-ing and dryland racing is the distances are shorter in the warmer season with most courses between three and six-kilometres depending on the category. However, the pace is much faster in dryland with teams hitting speeds over 40 kilometres-per-hour on a cart with a team of up to eight dogs careening along a narrow trail.
“Dryland races are generally higher speed than winter and some would call it more extreme,” he said. “You are with-
out the usual snow-hook and brake that are on a dog sled, so it is more difficult to stop or control your dogs if you have an issue. You still have hand brakes like a bike, but with most racing dogs you would be lucky to stop four dogs.”
Luck will be racing in three categor-ies: the two-dog scooter, the four-dog and six-dog cart when he joins hundreds of racers and their teams from across the globe at the World Championship in Quebec.
The event is just one of 15 IFSS sanctioned races held in Australia, the U.S., Sweden, Estonia, and Slovakia this season. The increasing numbers reflect a growing global interest in dogsledding and dryland racing, although in western Canada it hasn’t quite caught on to the same extent it has in the east.
“Dryland racing is very popular in other parts of the world,” said Luck. “It is starting to grow in Canada and having
big events like the world championships are going to help promote it here.”
Luck is training in Grande Prairie to prepare, and has been competing in dryland for just two years, so his jour-ney to the Worlds is marked by modest expectations.
“I am hoping to learn from the experi-ence as it will be my first time compet-ing at that high of a level,” said Luck. “It will be a great experience to meet other racers from around the world.”
Luck hopes to place in the top five in his best event, the two-dog class, but, his priority - just enjoy the ride.
“It is going to be a great experience and, most importantly, I want to make it a fun experience for myself and my dogs. I am very excited to represent team Canada and be part of such a big event.”
The IFSS Dryland World champion-ship goes from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1 in Bristol, Que.

COLOMBO BOCCE CHAMPS
The 2015 Colombo Lodge Fall Bocce Tournament went off without a hitch on Sunday at the Trail Bocce Facility and eventually crowned the team of Pat Zanier and Gene Gambin as the A Event champion. From left: B Event runners-up George Baggio and Merillo Geronazzo, B Event winners Len Seymour and Sergio Peloso, A Event winners Zanier and Gambin, and A Event runners up Hans Barth and Bruno DeRosa.
THE CANADIAN PRESSTORONTO - Connor McDavid
is already helping the Edmonton Oilers off the ice.
Even before the start of the NHL regular season, the addition of the top draft pick has seen Oilers’ ticket sales climb 131 per cent compared to last year on the secondary mar-ket, according to StubHub.com.
McDavid’s arrival has catapulted Edmonton from 16th to sixth-best selling team on the ticket resale website.
“It’s not just Connor McDavid, it’s the idea that he’s the first since Mark Messier and Wayne Gretzky to really bring a lot of buzz to the town,” said Jeff Poirier, StubHub Canada country manager. “I think there’s not just renewed hope around that, but there’s also this sort of nostalgic thing going on around Rexall Place and the fact that that’s going to be replaced by Rogers Place.”
Poirier suggested that there could be extra demand for Oilers tickets at the end of the season with the expectation that there would be a special ceremony at Rexall Place, where the classic Edmonton teams of the 1980s and early 1990s won their five Stanley Cups.
McDavid’s impact extends beyond northern Alberta, with the Oilers becoming the seventh-best selling road team in the NHL, join-ing the ranks of bigger market teams like the Original Six and Pittsburgh Penguins.
“Coming into the season people knew he was going to be there,”
said Poirier. “In terms of the NHL, I’m not
sure that we’ve seen, at least in recent history, a jump like this due to one player.”
To put McDavid’s impact in context, LeBron James’s return to Cleveland last season saw Cavaliers ticket sales rocket up more than 1,000 per cent. Tampa Bay Buccaneers sales rose 15 per cent after drafting quarterback Jameis Winston first overall heading into this NFL season.
The Toronto Blue Jays saw a 73-per-cent spike in secondary-market ticket sales after the acqui-sition of ace David Price and all-star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki at base-ball’s trade deadline.
An increased demand has driven up the cost of Oilers tickets slightly, with the average ticket price on the secondary market rising to US$156 from $152 a year ago, according to SeatGeek.com, a website that aggregates prices on ticket resales.
Calgary Flames tickets have also escalated with an average cost of $120 compared to $117 last sea-son, as have Ottawa Senators seats which are now $92 versus $89.
The rebuilding Toronto Maple Leafs have seen ticket prices drop nearly 20 per cent from $252 to $194. The Montreal Canadiens’ average resale price is $161, down from $164 a year ago. Vancouver Canucks tickets are at $113, down slightly from $115 last season.
Due to stricter resale laws in Manitoba figures for the Winnipeg Jets are unavailable.

LEISURE
Dear Annie: My mother-in-law lives an hour away from us. My husband’s sister, “Dot,” and her husband, “Jeff,” and their married children, periodically come to our house for overnight stays in order to visit Mom. My husband often invites Dot and her family to come for several days at Christmas. We now are lucky enough to have a vacation cabin, and he invited them to stay with us for two weeks.
When they visit, Dot and Jeff do not help with meals or do dishes. Jeff drinks lots of coffee, but never offers to make a pot. Dot means well, but is such a talker that she easily gets sidetracked on her way to help at cleanup time. They do not take us out for a single meal or offer to order pizza. They both speak loudly. Jeff mostly talks about him-self and Dot can carry on for hours.
My family gathers at a hotel for the holidays, and we invite my siblings to the cabin for two nights each summer. While my husband welcomes my siblings, I do not
enjoy hosting his side. I want to show respect for my in-laws and make my husband happy, but it’s really unpleasant to be around them. I cannot handle two weeks.
I told my husband that we should discuss these invitations before they are extended. His retort is that I would never agree to host his sister. Do you have any suggestions? -- Can’t Do It
Dear Can’t: All such invitations should be discussed in advance, but then you cannot dismiss all requests to host Dot and Jeff. The compromise is the length of the visit. You would find it more toler-able to host your in-laws if they stayed for a shorter duration -- say, three days or less. Two weeks is too much, especially for guests who refuse to help out. Also, set some guidelines. It is perfectly OK to tell Jeff, “As long as you are having cof-fee, please make a pot for the rest
of us.” It’s also fine to say to either one, “I could use some help in the
kitchen,” and “Tonight, it’s your turn to treat us to dinner -- you get to pick the place.” Assert yourself, and make sure your husband is on board. And when the
conversation becomes too much, go for a walk. Alone.
Dear Annie: As a senior citizen, I would like to suggest that stores, including grocery stores, provide some benches throughout their shopping areas. I could shop longer after taking a break. The benches in front, outside the checkout area, are inconvenient.
Also, the scooters offered at some stores often have not been fully charged. They are left in parking lots, and employees need to bring them in to recharge. Customers should plug them in. It only takes a moment. -- Trying to Be Independent
Dear Trying: You make a good
point that benches at varying points throughout a store could encour-age shoppers to spend more money, and owners might consider that an incentive. As for plugging in scoot-ers, that relies on the consideration of each individual user. The same
applies to those who use regular shopping carts and leave them all over the parking lot.
Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

The Trail F.A.I.R. Society would like to thank Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) for their generous
contribution of $61,681.35 towards the Nova Vita Second Stage Housing Program which gave us the ability to do renovations and upgrades. With their support all 6 apartments and common areas in the building were modernized. The renovations have impacted the program and the quality of life of its
residents in a positive way. Once again we thank the CBT for their contribution, without it we would have been unable to make the improvements that were so
greatly needed.
Sincerely,Trail F.A.I.R. Society
