Star Grocery owner Pasquale Amantea (right) and longtime customer Angelo Pellizzari welcomed a load of California grapes and juice this week at the store’s location in the Gulch.

Grapes abound in the Gulch BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff

If you love wine, you’ve probably been waiting for the annual grape sale at the Star Grocery. Wait no longer; Pasquale Amantea says the grapes are in. The shop-owner of Star Grocery began stacking up an order of grapes on Tuesday for longtime customers such as Angelo Pellizzari, reminiscing about the annual grape sale that has become something of an institution in the community. The ongoing sale brings hundreds of pounds of Californian grapes into the waiting kitchens and caskets for connoisseurs and vintners of the Italian infused Gulch area. Not only is Pellizarri a dedicated customer and friend of

over 40 years, he is as nostalgic and passionate about the sale as Amantea describes it. His eyes softened after hearing Amantea discussing the next shipment of grapes due for arrival, and remembered the countless hours he spent helping Amantea unload grape shipments. “That was before they had machines,� Pellizarri added with a chuckle. “Now they have forklifts and don’t need any help.� A chilled warehouse a few yards down from Star Grocery is filled to the brim with viticulture gadgets and supplies for the popular event. Several glass carboys are propped up against the walls, and boxes of Californian grapes are stacked up in the cooler in

groups of 10, while several pails of juice are strategically placed on the opposite side of the overgrown refrigerator. Although Amantea added that grape sales have steadily been declining, largely due to the aging demographic he caters to, many customers are opting to make wine from juice instead of grapes. “It’s easier with juice because all you need are glass carboys, or demi-john’s, and that’s it,� he said. “When you make it from grapes, you have to have the crusher, the destemmer and the press—it takes up a lot of room but the end result is much better with grapes, of course, you get a much heavier, full bodied wine.�

1912 Fall Fair opened grand facility that also hosted sports The Trail Historical Society has kindly offered photos and stories related to the history of Trail. With the success of Trail’s newly established Community Market this year, it is an interesting fact that Trail’s Fruit Fair Building was actually constructed 100 years ago and the first exhibit held September 25, 1912. Although this was the second annual fair, it was the first hosted in such a grand facility. The main building, constructed of wood with an angled roof, measured 75’ x 182’, with a curling annex measuring 54 ½’ wide. Combined, the total size of the struc-

ture was 128 ½� x 182’. Situated at Bay Avenue and Portland Street, the building also doubled as a skating and curling rink and hosted many hockey games until its closing in 1949. The 1912 Fall Fair hosted eight districts, from the Pend d’Oreille to China Creek and as far away as Christina Lake. That year, exhibitors of fruit were to be on the lookout for a specific type of caterpillar ravaging fruit trees. Samples were caught and placed in jars filled with alcohol and kept at the post office for viewing. Extensive rules regulated entries which included the following categories: poultry, livestock, fruit, vege-

tables, field produce, dairy, apiary, home baking, jam/preserves, floral, photography, metalwork, home cooking, candy and ladies’ fancywork. At 25 cents per individual entry, many people could afford to participate and, with the bridge recently opened, many more people from the Pend d’Oreille were able to participate. Prizes were multiple and often quite valuable. Entertainment that year included a glass blower, an apple packing contest, and a remarkable silk worm exhibit. The 1912 overall district winner was Trail, who surpassed the year’s previous winner, the Pend d’Oreille. Be sure to visit Trail’s last two markets of the year, held on Friday, October 5th and Friday, October 19th between 10:00 and 2:00 in the Esplanade and rekindle a bit of our agricultural heritage!

REGIONAL KASLO

BOCCE FOR BETTER HEALTH

Class sizes increase in middle grades

Solution sought for hospital BY MEGAN COLE Nelson Star

FROM PAGE 1 Classes from grades 1-3 at Glenmerry averaged with 20.4 students, while Webster had a mere class size of 18.8 students. On average, schools in the Greater Trail region had similar class sizes of roughly 20 students on each location. Class sizes increased between grades 4-7, with high numbers like 27.4 students in Fruitvale, 27.6 at Glenmerry and 27.7 at RSS, contrary to a mere 23.3 at Webster and 27.3 at MacLean. J.L. Crowe had class sizes of roughly 25 students per class in grade 8-12, and a whopping 40 students engaged in a leadership course, but RSS had 22.4 per class. In early August a B.C. Court of Appeal decision on class sizes meant that school administrators must be accountable to teachers for planning class sizes, overturning a 2009 decision in arbitration that said as long as a classroom did not exceed 33 students, opinions of a principal or superintendent mattered when determining if the size and composition were appropriate. However, in a move last March to deal with a budgetary shortfall, the SD20 board of trustees imposed a district-wide rise of one student in the student-to-teacher ratio—from 24-1 to 25-1. The rule under the School Act capped class sizes above Grade 4 at 30 students, “unless the principal consults with the teacher, principal and superintendent from the opinion the class is appropriate for student learning.” Teacher numbers Over the last five years the Kootenay Columbia region lost 20 full time teachers and administrators, according to the FSA. Although teaching wages have increased by roughly $7,000 over the same five-year period, the average years of experience teachers had in this region decreased from 17.3 in 2007-08 to 15.4 in 2011-12. The FSA is an annual assessment of student achievement based on reading, writing and numeracy results.

Soil assessments up, contaminated yards down BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

The number of requests for lead laden soil assessments is going up in Trail but

Orders needed in advance FROM PAGE 1 Amantea concludes that it’s an easy job to unload grape shipments now, and thanks to developments in technology, it only takes about an hour to complete (instead of five). Customers are required to place orders in advance, and then pick them up upon their arrival. “The sale started (last) weekend, on the 22nd, and the grape (sales) will probably go on for another two weeks,” Amantea said. “And after that we do more of the wine juices until mid-October

Following a Monday meeting, Kaslo Mayor Greg Lay said he is “cautiously optimistic” the city and Interior Health will find a suitable solution to the hospital situation. Interior Health announced this month that as of November 2, Kaslo’s Victorian Community Health Centre would operate with reduced hours and only offer emergency service from Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Interior Health has appointed Linda Basran and Dr. Alan Stewart to work with the Kaslo team to find a solution to the current emergency room issues. Since a public meeting was held in Kaslo this month, Lay said he has heard two doctors are interested in coming to the community and providing on-call and after hours services.

or late-October, and sometimes it even goes into November.” But when asked what his favourite part of wine season was, he smiled impishly and replied, “when it’s all over with and I can make my own wine and I’ve got time to relax and enjoy it.” Normally Star Grocery is only open from Tuesday until Saturday, but during wine season it’s open during Sundays and Mondays too, with varying hours each day. Call 250-364-1824 to place an order or stop in the Gulch at 328 Rossland Ave. to pick up grapes this weekend.

the percentage of contaminated yards needing remediation is dropping, according to a Trail Health and Environment Committee Community Program report. Bruce Enns, manager of the Home and Garden program (through SNC Lavalin’s Trail Operations), said the number of garden soil assessments performed in Trail has risen from eight in 2007 when the program was first introduced, to a record 73 so far in 2012. Coupled with an increase in yard soil assessments—from six in 2007 to 123 in 2012—the program’s four certified operators have been kept busy with assessments.

But not remediation. Yard and garden remediations have dropped from a high of 53 in 2010 to only 17 in 2012, showing that the lead “trigger” values are lower this year than they have ever been, said Enns. “Primarily it could be that we have covered off most of the higher (more contaminated) ones,” he said. He noted it was hard to gauge what the reason for the drop off was since data contained within the six-year program does not include a map of soil quality in all of Trail. Instead, the program based initial investigations in 2007 on areas where there had historically been some higher

levels of lead contamination. The Home and Garden program has concentrated its effort on those areas to begin with. SNC-Lavalin Environment (on contract to Teck) coordinates home renovation support and garden and yard soil programs. Enns said the scope of the program has moved into a larger diameter around that area—mostly in East Trail in direct line with prevailing winds from Teck Trail Operations— where the environment has been found to possess higher lead concentrations. Some assessments have been made by request in other areas through town but those

are on a lower priority basis, Enns noted. “The properties are mostly ones with young children, which is a priority for us,” he said. If remediation is warranted that is completed at no cost to the property owner. Typically, when the program embarks on a remediation it is almost always full removal of the soil in a yard or garden, with some exceptions depending on its lead content. The home renovation and soils programs are offered out of the Community Program Office at 1319 Bay Avenue. The Community Program Office also provides information and referral about the program.

PENTICTON

Penticton Western News

A slow summer season has local tourism officials hoping 2012 will be a case of better late than never. “July and, from what we are anecdotally reporting, August were significantly down,” said CEO Jessie Campbell of Penticton and Wine Country Tourism. “For example the room occupancy rate for July was down almost 10 per cent in Penticton. “But the one thing we are seeing so far, and this again is anecdotally, is stronger weather through the fall, therefore potentially extending the season into September and October. So maybe more people are planning to travel outside of

July and August, but that obviously remains to be seen.” Penticton is not alone is experiencing a decline in the tourism market, according to Campbell this is a provincewide problem. “It’s very difficult to say why,” she said. “Overall, I think it can largely be contributed to factors such as the dollar and that overall the tourism industry has just been softer in 2012.” One known factor is the reduced number of visitors from the United States, especially Washington state. The number of Americans stopping by the visitors centre is down about 18 per cent over the same period in 2011.

100 MILE HOUSE

School closures contemplated THE 100 MILE HOUSE FREE PRESS The potential closure of both the 100 Mile House Junior Secondary (PSO) and Buffalo Creek Elementary schools are among the options presented at a School District #27 (SD27) special board meeting Tuesday. Resulting reconfigurations of all remaining south-end elementary schools, kindergarten-Grade 8, and Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School, Grades 9-12, are also on the board’s slate of options. SD27 chair Will Van Osch says

nothing is set in stone and trustees want to hear public input and ideas. He adds they began by simply presenting and clarifying the options rather than taking comments at the board meeting. The trustees’ Initial Options Report also includes other potential changes for public consideration, as a means to mitigate a budget shortage of about $800,000 stemming from a reduction in Ministry of Education funding protection announced in January, Van Osch explains.

Minister defends vote on pro-life motion THE CANADIAN PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS/JENNIFER GRAHAM

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall speaks to the media in Regina on Thursday. Saskatchewan’s population has had the most growth in a single year since 1921. The province said Thursday that the latest figures from Statistics Canada show the population grew by 22,154 people between July 1, 2011 and this past July 1.

OTTAWA - Facing calls for her job and accused by the NDP of betraying the women she represents at the federal cabinet table, a defiant Rona Ambrose stood in the House of Commons to explain why she voted in support of a pro-life motion. Sort of. Asked why she was one of 10 Conservative cabinet ministers who supported backbench MP Stephen Woodworth’s motion to strike a committee to examine the definition of a human being, Ambrose responded by extolling the Conservative government’s record on fund-

ing projects for women and girls. Ambrose, the minister responsible for the status of women, stunned observers Wednesday when she rose to her feet in favour of Woodworth’s motion - despite the fact Prime Minister Stephen Harper has

said he has no plans to reopen the abortion debate in Canada. Though the motion was defeated 203 to 91, a tweet from Ambrose following the vote suggested it was a way to raise awareness about discrimination against girls through “sex selection abortion.�

ban. Global’s involvement in the case ended in 2010. Abella said there’s no reason for a publication ban on the whole suit. “She should be entitled to proceed anonymously, but once her identity has been protected, I see no reason for a further publication ban preventing the publication of the non-identifying content of the fake Facebook profile.� A.B. found the offending Facebook page online in March 2010. The fake profile used her picture, a slightly modified version of her name, and other identifying particulars. An accompanying commentary made unflattering comments on her appearance and included some sexually explicit references. The page was removed by the Internet provider later that month. It’s vital to protect the victims of online bullying, Abella wrote. “In addition to the psychological harm of cyberbullying, we must consider the resulting inevitable harm to children - and the administration of justice - if they decline to take steps to protect themselves because of the risk of further harm from public disclosure.� She said the interests at stake are clear: “The girl’s privacy interests in this case are tied both to her age and to the nature of the victimization she seeks protection from. It is not merely a question of her privacy, but of her privacy from the relentlessly intrusive humiliation of sexualized online bullying.�

ONTARIO

OTTAWA - A teenage girl allegedly defamed on a bogus Facebook page can proceed with a lawsuit without revealing her name, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Thursday. The judges ruled 7-0 that the girl is entitled to anonymity to prevent her from becoming a victim a second time. But the court also rejected her request for a publication ban on the defamation suit, as long as she is not identified in any materials made public. The case made its way to the Supreme Court after the girl’s family appealed a Nova Scotia Court of Appeal decision. The girl, known as A.B. in court documents, was 15 when she and her family sought a court order compelling Internet service provider Eastlink to reveal the identity of the person who had allegedly set up the fake Facebook profile about her. The lower court granted the order, but said she couldn’t proceed with a defamation case anonymously because there is an open-court principle at stake. The appeal court agreed. That was a mistake, Supreme Court Justice Rosalie Abella wrote in Thursday’s decision. “In my view, both courts erred in failing to consider the objectively discernable harm to A.B.,� she wrote. The Halifax Chronicle Herald and Global Television originally opposed the idea of a publication

The very strange tale of a very bad film

L

ast week, amidst looming deadlines and piles of work, I took a break one morning to view The Innocence of Muslims. I wanted to know what it was about this film that has driven so many people to blind rage, that has led people to murder and mayhem. At first I wasn’t sure I was viewing the right film, thinking this was a parody of the real film. When I realized this was indeed it, I wondered how so many adults could be persuaded to give up their time to star in a project that more closely resembled kids putting on a play in their backyard. From the crude sets and thrift-store costumes, to the disjointed script, to the L.A. surfer lilt of Mohammad, all 14 minutes of The Innocence of Muslims is farcically infantile. And yet, even if it were a Hollywood blockbuster that made the Muslim Prophet out to be a perverted buffoon, it would

still never justify a violent response. While I acknowledge that most Muslims do not translate their offense into violence, it cannot be denied that a frighteningly large number of people, in several different countries, have taken to the streets in their reaction to this joke-like film. Even those exercising their fury by peaceful means are grossly overreacting and, in the process, launching an absurd little film to global prominence. The (for-profit) activist and advocacy platform, Causes.com, is hosting a “cause” calling on Youtube to remove the film, with this explanation: “Once again infidels have launched a movie against Islam and this time they have crossed all limits. All Muslims and people of other faith who are against this act please join to show your concern.” As of today 122,144 people have signed on. Few faith-based groups

have come out in defense of freedom of expression (a right they routinely use to freely advocate their own beliefs), issuing statements instead that condemn the film rather than the violence. Rather than defending the right to freedom of expression and asking how such an amateur movie, made by an ex-con, could lead to such upheaval, Western media rushed to expose the identities of those behind the film. Let’s remember that no one commits more violence against Muslims than other Muslims, crimes met

with a deafening silence. Often this violence is blatantly defamatory of Islam, as when the Taliban sent suicide bombers into crowded Muslim religious ceremonies. For example, on September 20th the Wall Street Journal reported on the Andar uprising in Ghazni province in Afghanistan, where local villagers have been resisting the Taliban, trying to get schools reopened and to have some semblance of peace return to their land. “In May, Taliban fighters surrounded the movement’s members as they met in a house in Payendai village. One of the rebels, Abdul Samad, the son of a tribal elder, went outside holding a Quran as a symbol of peace and asking the insurgents to negotiate. “He was shot dead instead, villagers say.” While so many Muslims put their energy into protesting the film, very real crimes are being committed against Muslims that

garner no protest, not even virtual protests. As 10,000 Pakistanis demonstrated against the film in Lahore, 200 kilometres away in Faisalabad, a young woman was forced to walk naked down a street in front of her village as retribution for her brother teasing a local girl. That a goofy movie is more blasphemous than this barbaric act seems, well, sacrilegious. What this and countless other examples speak to, is an obsession over the desecration of symbols, rather than the desecration of people. Such panic over a film can only come from a religion in a crisis of confidence, where there is more mourning for attacks on the reputation of Islam than for attacks on actual Muslim people.

LETTERS & OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Reader vents on changes at Times Just read in last night’s paper we will be down to four days a week (Trail Times announces publishing changes, Sept. 26). I could see that coming, outside of a little sports and the odd local story there wasn’t much in there of interest. Most had been covered on the TV news a couple days earlier.

Maybe with the extra time on their hands the Times can sort out how to fold a paper in the middle instead of anywhere from a 1/2� to an inch off center. I can’t for the life of me figure out the logic in this one. It started out as a random thing now its every issue. Very irritating and I’m sure with

today’s technology the paper folder machine can be calibrated to do it correctly. I know the flyers use this method to gain attention to the items they have on sale, irritating too, but I guess that’s a reason. OK, now I feel better. Dale Evans Trail

Ombudsperson made excellent points First of all I want to thank the Trail Times for running an excerpt from an excellent article from your “sister newspaper�, the Castlegar News, about the September 13 presentation in Castlegar by BC Ombudsperson Kim Carter. The full article and photo can be accessed at www.castlegarnews.com (just put “Ombudsperson� in the search line) After hearing the presentation, I was most impressed with the scope and thoroughness of the Ombudsperson’s recent investigation into the state of seniors’ care in our province. This landmark study, which included extensive consultation with seniors and professionals throughout BC, highlighted the serious problems seniors face

in accessing affordable, high quality home and community based services such as home support, home nursing and residential care. Following the investigation a final report “The Best of Care, Getting it Right for Seniors in BC� was issued with 176 recommendations to improve seniors’ care. The full report is available online at www.bcombudsperson.ca/seniors The provincial government’s stated goal is to support seniors as they age so that they live safely and comfortably in their own homes and communities. However, to date, the government refuses to commit the resources and infrastructure needed to rebuild BC’s Home and Community care sys-

tem as well as to implement the comprehensive recommendations in the Ombudsperson’ report. We strongly encourage the Trail Times to continue to follow this issue and, from time to time to publish articles about the situation in Trail with regard to seniors’ care. There are many knowledgeable people in the community - most especially seniors - who know what is and isn’t happening and would be very supportive of having a public forum within the paper to highlight issues and solutions. Health Care Advocacy groups such as Trail’s Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Seniors (SPCS) and Castlegar District Health Watch (CDHW) will also continue to

promote implementation of this report, especially as it pertains to local needs. We strongly encourage readers of this paper to contact the BC Health Minister, Margaret MacDiarmid, IHA CEO, Dr. R. Halpenny, and local MLA & Seniors’ Critic, Katrine Conroy, with your thoughts and concerns about “Getting it Right for Seniors� in the West Kootenay. Please contact myself, Trail SPCS Executive Member, Carol Albo 250-3625767 or come to the next Trail SPCS General Meeting if you want more information, including addresses for these individuals, a print copy of the report or an excellent 14-page summary.

Waiting for Justin Trudeau ... and his plan An editorial from the Toronto Star The bedraggled federal Liberal party is enjoying a rare frisson of excitement over reports that Justin Trudeau is on the verge of throwing his hat into the ring for the party leadership. And why not? He’s the closest thing to a rock star they have. The charismatic two-term member of Parliament for Montreal’s Papineau riding is one of the few politicians in Canada whose name is a household word, and he has the big Twitter and Facebook following to prove it. At 40, he’d bring youthful energy, a flair for drama and generational change. He has Quebec roots. And he embodies an iconic brand. Under his father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the Liberals enjoyed some of their most productive years in office. He may well be the figure to fire up the party base and catch the public’s attention. Even so, Canadians will want to hear not only about Justin

Trudeau’s pedigree when he formally announces his candidacy next week but also about his ideas for rebranding and rebuilding the party. Pierre Trudeau’s Liberals played a major role shaping modern Canada’s identity. They brought home the Constitution with its Charter of Rights, successfully battled Quebec secessionism and promoted bilingualism and multiculturalism. Today, reduced to third-party status in the Commons with just 35 MPs, the party is a shadow of its former self, intellectually adrift in a polarized political landscape dominated by Stephen Harper’s Conservatives and Tom Mulcair’s New Democrats. Still, the Liberal base is there: Despite Michael Ignatieff’s insipid campaign 2.8 million voters supported the party in last year’s election. Star quality aside, Trudeau’s challenge is to shed his image as a policy lightweight, and to show that he has the stuff to lead the party in rebuilding its base, updating its agenda and refilling its coffers. That’s a challenge he shares

with other declared or potential leadership aspirants including Dominic LeBlanc, Marc Garneau, Deborah Coyne, Denis Coderre, Martha Hall Findlay and David McGuinty. Canadians need to hear more about their ideas for a progressive, activist Liberal agenda that will create prosperity and jobs by fostering productivity, innovation and a greener economy. An agenda that will promote social justice and equity. And strengthen higher education, health care and pensions. Charisma is a powerful asset in politics. But the Grits need to put some grit into their message, to begin rebuilding after last year’s defeat. That’s what the wider public will be looking for.

STRESS We live in a world of stress and extraordinary pressure. It has been said that stress is the trash of modern life, generated by all of us, and if not disposed of properly, it will overtake our lives. Like sponges, we soak up what we experience and look for ways of releasing it. Stress consumes our physical, emotional and mental energy. Because stress can accumulate if we don’t deal with it, it can lead to burnout, shortcircuiting our coping skills, leaving us with no margin or reserve to deal with what is happening around us. Jesus Himself said, “Come unto me all of you that are burdened [stressed] and I will give you rest.� David in his psalms wrote, “In the multitude of my [anxious] thoughts within me, Your comforts cheer and delight my soul.� God created us with a rhythm to work and to rest. Dear friend, have you found that Divine rhythm? For real and lasting relief, try Jesus. Pastor Bryan Henry Fruitvale Christian Fellowship

just wasted 14 minutes watching the very poorly produced film, “The Innocence of Muslims�. Most teens with an iPhone can make better movies. Yet, this is the film that has outraged Muslims and sparked protests, first in Arab countries and now in North America and Europe. If the reaction to this film, created by an Egyptian Coptic Christian living in the United States, had not resulted in deaths and social unrest, I would LOUISE dismiss the film as ridiculously stupid (which it is). “The Innocence of Everyday Theology Muslims� is simply not worth the trouble it has caused. It deserves no attention. However, the film’s notoriety makes it difficult to ignore. This film is neither art nor documentary. It is a pathetic attempt at propaganda intended to discredit Islam through the crude portrayal of the Prophet Mohammed. As others have stated, it portrays the prophet as a fraud, a womanizer, and a child molester. To these insulting representations, I would add that the film also portrays the prophet as a buffoon, and his followers as brainless minions. While I am not surprised at the reaction to this film, I am surprised that this shoddy video has garnered so much attention. There are likely hundreds of poorly produced propaganda videos posted on YouTube. Most of them remain obscure. Someone, or a group of individuals, disseminated this particular YouTube video for nefarious reasons. The majority of protestors in Arab nations cannot have seen the video. Goggle restricted its access in some Arab countries to comply with the laws of those countries. Other countries blocked access to the film. There is a strong sense that Muslim extremists, using social media, orchestrated the protests. Maybe the protestors truly believe that they are defending their prophet’s honor. It is more likely, though, that these protests have little to do with Islamic faith, and a whole lot to do with control and ideology. There is a consensus in the international media that the protests express political and social frustration. Analysts give three main reasons for the protests. There is a struggle within Islam between extremists and moderates. There is frustration with the economy and the slow pace of rebuilding a society following the Arab Spring. There is also the ever simmering anti-American sentiment and general suspicion of western culture. These protests reflect a complex web of realities; religion is the scapegoat. This is nothing new. Historically, those in positions of power and religious authority have misused religion to rationalize intolerance, to legitimize violence, and to further political agendas. When this happens, religion is more about ideology and power than faith. Most of the world’s religions are based on an ethic of compassion and non-violence. Islam is no exception. Violence, ostensibly in the defense of religion, is a poor way for believers to exercise their faithfulness. So is the making of a film that attacks and denigrates another religion. Islam is innocent here. Culpability lies elsewhere, in the complex web of realities that shapes human societies.

From caulking windows to upgrading furnaces, energy efficiency works for all budgets ticing conservation. Like hanging their clothes out on the line, taking shorter showers and programming the thermostat to a comfortable, but efficient 20° Celsius when home. If you’re considering making energy efficiency improvements like Schultz and Gullion, FortisBC has a number of rebate offers, how-to advice, and quick tips to help make it easier and economical. If you currently heat your home with oil, switching to cleaner burning natural gas makes sense. And better yet, the utility offers a $1,000 rebate when you convert your oil heating system to natural gas. Already have a gas furnace or boiler? If it’s more than 15 years old considering upgrading it to a qualifying highefficiency model for an $800 rebate. But hurry, only 2,000 rebates are available. And while upgrading the heating system consider your water heater too. Next to heating your home, heating water is the biggest consumer of energy in your house. FortisBC offers rebates from $200 to $1,000 when you install a high-efficiency natural gas water heater. Don’t forget the province’s LiveSmart BC Efficiency Incentive Program. Any rebates you qualify for can be combined with FortisBC’s natural gas offers. And finally, if water heater and furnace upgrades aren’t in your budget this winter, FortisBC’s website offers howto videos such as how to install a lowflow showerhead, or replace a furnace filter, conservation tips and information on the benefits of natural gas.

Despite having no prior handyman skills and a limited knowledge of energy efficiency, Laura Lee Schultz and Jacqueline Gullion were determined to renovate their depression era house. So they picked up their hammers and caulking gun and got to work. With help from family, friends and YouTube, they learned how to insulate properly and also how to make other energy efficiency upgrades. Some small, and with help from professionals, some big. Like the furnace. “It was pretty obvious that the furnace had to go. It was amazingly old and inefficient,� said Schultz. So they took the plunge and had it replaced with an ENERGY STARŽ high-efficiency model. They had the original ducting system replaced too for even better efficiency. The ladies have proven that you don’t have to spend a lot to save a lot. “For less than $50 on a tube of window caulk, a roll of weatherstripping and a window film kit, you can significantly change the comfort of your home,� says Gullion. And they’ve got proof. Before making improvements, an energy advisor rated the house at 48 out of 100 on the EnerGuideŽ efficiency scale (a standard measure of a home’s energy performance). Now it’s up to 64. And even though they switched out the electric range to a gas model, (“We just like cooking with gas,� quips Gullion.) the natural gas consumption has dropped by 26 per cent since making all the energy efficiency improvements. As for future improvements, they hope to replace the windows. For now, they’re enjoying their home and prac-

TRAIL SMOKE EATERS

Big week for Smokies

Trail adds vets BY TIMES STAFF

BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor

If a season can hinge on a single week, this could be the one for the Trail Smoke Eaters. The Smoke Eaters play six games in nine days, but will finally get some respite from the road. After playing its opening six of seven games away from home to start the BCHL season, including tonight’s game against West Kelowna, they will serve as hosts for games Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday. The Smokies first travel to West Kelowna to take on the Warriors, and return home for the Saturday rematch against Craig Martin and the Vernon Vipers. Trail plays Powell River in an afternoon matchup at home on Sunday, and welcomes the Warriors back to the Cominco Arena on Tuesday night to complete a four-game-in-five-days odyssey, before hitting the road again to play the Warriors and Penticton next weekend. “It’s a huge week, all (except Powell River) against Interior teams,” said coach and GM Bill Birks. The Smokies were impressive in their home opener, a 3-1 win against the Warriors a week ago, and look to duplicate the result tonight at Royal LePage Place in Westbank. In a very tight division where four of six teams – Vernon, Merritt, West

Trail Smoke Eaters’ Djordje Leposavic fights off Vernon’s Landon Robin in their 7-2 loss last against the snakes last weekend. The Smokies look to return the favour when they play the Vipers at home on Saturday. Kelowna, and Trail -- have an equal number of wins, this week’s slate could prove crucial for the Smokies. “Every game is key, but especially when playing teams that are in our division,” added Birks. “It’s four-point games, so every game is huge this weekend and next weekend too. You go on a couple three game winning streaks, especially against teams in your division, it definitely changes things in a hurry.” The team skated hard Monday, then concentrated on systems during the remainder of the week to prepare for the upcoming games.

Saturday marks Martin’s return to the Cominco Arena since he last played for the Smoke Eaters as an affiliate player during the 2011-12 season. After a lack-luster start for the Vipers, coach Jason Williamson tinkered with his line up in the game against Trail Saturday. He moved Martin up to the top line with Adam Tambellini and Castlegar’s Aaron Hadley, as well as giving him power-play time on the point. The move paid off as the V’s scored three power play goals, and the Tambellini line accounted for five points in the 7-2 victory.

See SMOKIES, Page 14

The Trail Smoke Eaters added a huge veteran presence to its line up this week, with the return of two players from the United States Hockey League and the acquisition of another from Coquitlam Express. The Smoke Eaters are excited to welcome back defenseman Marley Keca after a tryout with the Indiana Ice. Trail acquired the Kelowna product in a multi-player deal last October from the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. In 39 appearances with Trail during the 2011-12 season, Keca tallied 5 goals and 19 points. Keca has played 104 BCHL regular-season games with Trail, Alberni Valley and Quesnel. Forward Austin Adduono, 19, comes to Trail from the Fargo Force after spending the 2011-12 season with Wichita Falls and Dawson Creek of the North American Hockey League. In 58 appearances with the Wildcats and Rage last season, the

Thunder Bay, Ont. native scored 13 goals and 22 points. As a 17 year-old, Adduono led the Superior International Junior Hockey League (SIJHL) in scoring, posting 32 goals and 72 points with the Wisconsin Wilderness. He was named SIJHL Rookie of the Year, helping the Wilderness to the championship in their inaugural season. In a separate transaction, the Smoke Eaters acquired 19-year-old defenseman Braden Pears from Coquitlam for future considerations. Pears, from Victoria, has played 132 games in the BCHL with Powell River, Victoria, Salmon Arm and Coquitlam, scoring 20 points. Pears made four appearances with the Express this season. Adduono, Keca and Pears could all be in the lineup for the Smokies’ next home game, Saturday against the Vernon Vipers. For ticket information, call 368.5000 or visit www. trailsmokeeaters.com.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS

Activities abound for Olympians BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor

Greater Trail Special Olympians are hoping to attract even more community support as they gear up for a full slate of activities this fall and winter. The athletes enjoyed assistance from many organizations and volunteers last year and are canvassing for the same as they get set to jump into new programs and break out the equipment for such favourites as floor hockey, bowling, swimming, and downhill skiing. The athletes start the year in high gear with a new Club Fit program at the Field House on Thursdays with special fitness instructor and MMA fighter Morgan River Jones.

“We’ve had our registration, and we’ve got more athletes this year, so everything we’re doing is working,” said coach/coordinator Ben Postmus. And of course there will be the floor hockey night with the Beaver Valley Nitehawks at the Fruitvale Elementary on Tuesdays. It is better than ever this year, with games lined up with the Fruitvale Firefighters, RCMP, teachers, KBS, Kootenay Savings and more. Skiing and bowling proved to be wildly popular, thanks to the cooperation of Red Mountain Resort, which supplied lift tickets and equipment for all the skiers, and Glenmerry Bowl in Trail. “There must have been 40 people out bowling on Monday,” said Postmus. “It’s the one sport

that is most accessible for everybody.” While Postmus attributes much of the success of the Special Olympic program to the growing awareness and support in the community, a lot of the credit has to lie with the athletes themselves. “I know a lot of times the perception is, ‘you don’t want to get too close, they might break,’ right, because they are very fragile, but they love to play, and they love it when its local personalities they get to interact and play with.” While the athletes enjoy the activities, they are not without their competitive streak. Sixteen local athletes will join a contingent of 90, the most ever from the Kootenays, at the Special Olympic

On Sunday afternoon, Powell River Kings end their road trip against the Smoke Eaters after games in Chilliwack and Penticton.

NFL

They’re back THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - The NFL’s regular officiating crews are back. Their return couldn’t have come soon enough for many players, coaches and fans. After two days of marathon negotiations - and mounting frustration throughout the league - the NFL and the officials’ union announced at midnight Thursday that a tentative eight-year agreement had been reached to end a lockout that began in June. The deal came on the heels of Seattle’s chaotic last-second win over Green Bay on Monday night in which the replacement officials struggled. Commissioner Roger Goodell, who was at the bargaining table Tuesday and Wednesday, said the regular officials would work the Browns-Ravens game at Baltimore on Thursday night. “We are glad to be getting back on the field for this week’s games,” NFL Referees Association president Scott Green said. The tentative deal must be ratified by 51 per cent of the union’s 121 members. They plan to vote Friday and Saturday in Dallas.

edly being honest about his upcoming missionary trip, we think he is being less so about the breakup. At least part of that has to do with your religious differences and his new interest in Susan. This is surely what you already suspect. We wish Ethan had the courage to come clean, but don’t count on it. Accept that your relationship has run its course. Regardless of his next move, yours should be to put him behind you. Dear Annie: My mother gives each of her kids and grandkids a specific amount of money for Christmas. As far as any of us

do what she pleases with her money, but do we have the right to let her know how much it hurts our kids that she favors their cousins? -- Trying To Avoid a Christmas Circus this Year Dear Trying: We don’t think Mom favors the cousins. We think she feels sorry for them because their father died, and she is trying to make it up to them the only way she can. It’s OK to tell her that the other grandchildren have noticed and are hurt. What she does with that information is up to her. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Single Too Long,” the 45-yearold man who has had no luck with the social scene. You suggested he ask his friends and family to critique him. He is not at fault. There are a number of us out there who have plenty to offer. The shame of it is that there are women who don’t want what we have. I

say don’t change anything. Be true to yourself. Be uncompromising. Make them measure up to you, not the other way around. -- G. Dear G.: There are plenty of men and women who are per-

fectly lovely, but can’t find a date. But if you keep doing the same things, you will get the same results. An honest critique could help assess whether you come across as too strong, too weak, appear unkempt, talk

about yourself too much, etc. No one should be resistant to change. There is always room for improvement. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Saturday, Sept. 29, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Upsets between partners and close friends are likely today. Some friendships will end because one of you wants his or her freedom. (Could be you; could be someone else.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Interruptions at work are unavoidable today. Expect computer crashes, power outages, broken equipment, staff shortages and canceled meetings. Yikes! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This definitely is an accident-prone day for your children or for children in your care; therefore, be extra vigilant. Be mindful of potential hazards. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Domestic arguments, as well as the breakdown of small appliances or minor breakages, definitely will upset your

home routine today. Just cope as best you can. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day, so take it easy. Keep the eyes in the back of your head wide open! Forewarned is forearmed. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Financial upsets are highly likely today. Check your bank balance. Make sure you know what bills might be overdue. Interruptions to cash flow could happen. (Groan.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Arguments and unexpected events will totally change your daily routine today. Someone likely will do something that really surprises you. In fact, a friendship might end now. (Possibly, you will meet someone quite unusual today.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Something out of the blue will make you sit up and take

notice at work today. It could be someone who is unusual or bizarre, or surprising news could catch you off-guard. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Romance is rocky today. Even relationships with children are potentially explosive. Demonstrate grace under pressure. (Keep things light.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Difficulties with authority figures are par for the course

today. Don’t get your belly in a rash. Just accept what is happening, and work to the best of your ability within this situation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Avoid controversial subjects with others today, because people are touchy and explosive! Don’t try to persuade others to see things your way. Remember that the quickest way to end an argument is to agree.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might find money today; you might lose money. You also might lose something you own due to breakage, theft or misplacing it. Be alert so that you can avoid regrets about your money and possessions. YOU BORN TODAY You’re extremely capable, and many of you develop a particular talent or technique. Because you strive for stability, you
