Second round of CRT review coming to Trail
‘TIS THE SEASON
Consultation workshop set for Nov. 28 BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
Throughout the year, residents of Greater Trail can be seen taking leisurely strolls down Gyro Park walkway, enjoying the scenic view of the Columbia River as it ripples and flows its way south to the border. As 2014 approaches, the flowing water holds more value than a free place to swim on a warm summer day. Since 1964, the Columbia River has quietly signified its value to all residents of the Columbia River Basin, in terms of employment, money and environmentally, all owing to the Columbia River Treaty (CRT). This month, the CRT 2014 Review begins round two and the B.C.’s Ministry of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas is encouraging the public to speak out to help shape the future of the CRT. Trail will host an evening consultation workshop on Nov. 28, to
give Columbia Basin residents an opportunity for input into the CRT Review in 2014. “The consulting sessions will be led by the province’s Provincial Review Team. They are meant to keep building information and answering questions that the public had during the information workshops held last year,” said Delphi Hoodikoff, director of communications for the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT). In the first round of 15 educational open houses conducted in the Columbia River Basin last year, people asked for more information on several topics, including: the benefits and negative impacts of the current CRT; issues related to compensation; climate change and how it may influence the CRT in the future; and feasibility of bringing salmon back to the upper Columbia River. “I think we do forget about the treaty because it has been there so long and it has operated so well,” said Kindy Gosal, CBT director of water and environment.

RELOCATION STUDY
Library survey aimed to gauge public opinion BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

City of Trail employee Bob Woods started spreading holiday greetings around town on Tuesday as workers were busy putting up Christmas decorations along Cedar Ave., in downtown Trail.
A relocation study will hopefully shed some light on the next chapter in the future of the Trail and District Public Library. Part of the study includes a recently released survey that will gauge the public’s interest in the library and its fate. “The City of Trail asked us to hire a consultant to look at our space,” said Barbara Gibson, chair of the library board. “This study and survey will tell the City of Trail if our library is important and if the current facility is adequate.” The key issues for the library
relocation study are the lack of space and access, said Gibson. “We are long overdue for a move,” she explained. “There is no transit stop nearby, people have to cross a busy highway, walk up stairs or a huge long ramp just to get in.” Part of the study process features a survey, which the library committee is hoping both library and nonlibrary users complete. “We want non-library users to have a say as well. We want to know why they aren’t using it now, and how we can bring them in and increase foot traffic in downtown Trail,” added Gibson. See SURVEY, Page 3

Vitamin D is also thought to play an important role in strengthening the immune system. Health Canada recommends 200-600 IU per day depending on age. Some other national health organizations recommend higher doses. For instance the Canadian Cancer Society recommends 1000 IU per day for adults during the fall and winter months. Dietary sources of vitamin D include milk, fortified soy beverage, salmon,

Exercise is also a powerful way to bolster your immune system. Among the many benefits of exercise is stress reduction.

REGIONAL
Pot possession charges on the rise in Nelson Statistics Canada report shows Greater Trail force laid nine charges in 2011 BY GREG NESTEROFF The Nelson Star
“Except as authorized under the regulations, no person shall possess … cannabis, its preparations, derivatives and similar synthetic preparations, including … cannabis (marihuana).” — Controlled Drugs and Substances Act More than twice as many marijuana possession charges have been laid in Nelson in recent years compared to a decade ago. The Vancouver Sun reported last week on the rise in charges for simple possession province-wide: 88 per cent between 2002 and 2011, far in excess of the population increase over the same period. The Vancouver newspaper also provided an online database giving community-by-community breakdowns based on data from Statistics Canada. Not all West Kootenay communities saw increases, though: the Trail detachment, which also polices Rossland and the Beaver Valley laid nine charges last year, which is down from double digit results in 2003 and 2004. However, it is up from the six charges laid in 2010 and a total of five in a three-year span from 2007 to 2009. Officials at the Trail and Greater District Detachment didn’t want to speculate on the numbers until they could review the report. “Nelson, which earned a reputation for growing and smoking BC bud, had 298 charges per 100,000 people last year,” Sun reporter Zoe McKnight noted. That’s compared to 30 per 100,000 in Vancouver and 81 per 100,000 across Canada. In actual numbers, 29 charges of simple possession were laid in 2011 in Nelson, second highest in the city during the period studied. The figures ranged from a low of two in 2003 to a high of 31 in 2009. In 2002, there were 14 charges. Nelson police chief Wayne Holland, who joined the department in early 2011, said he couldn’t explain the higher numbers in recent years without an incidentby-incident review. “Every incident where marijuana is found on a person who interacts with a Nelson police officer is decided based on the facts of the file itself,” Holland said in an email.
He said a variety of factors are taken into account, including the amount involved, the circumstances that brought the person to police attention, whether they have a history of drug offences — especially trafficking — and whether it’s a young offender. “On every occasion the officer uses their discretion as to whether to charge,” Holland says. “And if the decision is to charge, Crown Counsel reviews the recommendation to ensure the investigation and seizure were lawful and that the recommended charges are merited and have been lawfully brought to court.” Philip McMillan of the Nelson Cannabis Compassion Club, which helps members access medicinal marijuana, said he couldn’t read too much into the statistics, but the recent jump could be the result of new police officers in the community — or just a statistical blip. “Or it could be a prevailing misconception that cannabis is legal,” he said. “Twin that with Nelson’s reputation and I can see a few [people] thinking they can just spark up on Baker Street.” Rural Nelson, policed by the RCMP, saw a similar increase in charges in 2009 and 2010 — 20 and 25 respectively — but the figure fell to 16 in 2011, closer to the norm of previous years. An RCMP officer quoted by the Sun suggested areas with easy access to pot and lenient policing may result in more people openly flouting the law — and therefore more charges — but that may not explain one local anomaly. Salmo saw five or fewer possession charges each year between 2002 and 2008, but has had 24 or 25 annually since 2009 — a per capita rate of 869 per 100,000, third highest in BC. RCMP Staff Sgt. Dan Seibel attributed this in part to the creation in the spring of 2009 of the Kootenay Boundary regional detachment, which includes nine West Kootenay detachments and a plainclothes investigation section. Seibel said when he and Insp. Nick Romanchuk arrived, they established annual performance plans with priorities including tackling organized crime, cross border smuggling and illegal drugs. Seibel further noted a new corporal in Salmo worked closely with Shambhala organizers and security staff to reduce drugs at the music festival.

Margaret Cozier has been a library user since moving to Trail four years ago. She filled out a paper copy of the survey to voice her opinion about the library relocation.
Survey available online and on paper
FROM PAGE 1 The questions range from impressions on the library, amount of use and rankings for services provided as well as relocation options, locations and potential new services. The survey can be completed electronically by accessing the City of Trail website, trail.ca, or the library website, traillibrary.com. Paper copies are also available at the Village of Warfield office, Trail City Hall, and the library. The 12-question survey takes about five minutes to
complete and all answers are kept confidential. Upon completion of the survey, there is an option to enter a prize draw for a Kobo E-reader. The deadline for completing it is Nov. 21 at 4 p.m. The library has been located in the Trail Memorial Centre since 1958. The late 1980s did see some positive changes, with an improved collection of reading materials, automation, and expanded programming that allowed the library to provide full range of services and materials, for that decade.
“Ideally, we want a modern library to be the anchor in the south end of town. We believe our readership would go up then,” said Gibson. In 2011, the current 5,000-square-foot facility recorded an increase of 66 per cent in visits, and a 175 per cent increase in computer usage, aided by the addition of 12 public access computers. “We have 177 people a day pass through our doors. With that kind of foot traffic and user-ship, we should be the anchor in downtown,” commented Gibson.
Treaty helps manage waterway
FROM PAGE 1 The CRT is an international water-management agreement between Canada and the U.S., in place to optimize flood management and power generation production in the Basin on both sides of the border. “The Canadian Entitlement is worth $120$300 million annually,
depending on power market prices, and this goes into the province’s general revenue account.” said a government press release. “If the Columbia River Treaty is terminated, the Canadian Entitlement ends.” The treaty was signed in 1964 without a termination date, but with a minimum length of 60 years.

However, the treaty states that either country may terminate the agreement by providing a minimum of 10 years advance, written notice. The workshop, which includes an open house and information session, is set for Nov. 28 at 6 p.m. at the Best Western Plus Columbia River Hotel.

Canada to miss fiscal targets THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA, Ont. - Canada will miss its deficit targets in each of the next four years, because global economic weakness has carved into commodity prices and tax revenues, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said today. His fall economic update showed a bottom line worse than many expected, with the deficit at $26 billion, up $5 billion from the March budget forecast. Flaherty also said it will take a year longer than predicted to balance the budget. “Canada has clearly been affected by volatile and falling world commodity prices since the budget in late March,” he said in notes for a speech to a Fredericton business audience. “And the forecast of private sector economists is consistent with the view that world commodity prices will remain below the level anticipated at the time of the budget.”
Because of the weakness, the government expects revenues to be on average $7.2 billion below what it had counted on in the budget during the five-year horizon period. Flaherty made clear that he remains on track in keeping government costs down. Program expenses edge down as a percentage of the country’s gross domestic product during the period. But the numbers show the government can’t overcome the lower revenues, which were first noticed in the final accounts of last year’s budget period. They carry on this year and into future years. Ottawa now projects its deficit will rise to $26 billion this fiscal year, which ends in March, as opposed to the predicted $21.1 billion. Going forward, the deficit is now projected at $16.5 billion next year, compared with the budget estimate of $10.2 billion, and $8.6 billion in 2014-15, as opposed to $1.3 billion.

The loss of centrality hits close to home
I
n this interval of blessed tranquillity between the titanic struggle to choose the next president of the “world’s greatest nation” (same guy as last time), and the world-shaking choice of the next leader of the “Middle Kingdom” (Xi Jinping, but it’s still officially secret for a few more days), a delicious moment of sheer silliness. The British Broadcasting Corporation has banned a science programme because it might trigger an interstellar invasion. They would not normally ban a programme made by Brian Cox. He is a jewel in the BBC’s crown: a particle physicist with rock-star appeal – he played in two semi-professional bands, and in the right light he looks like a younger Steven Tyler – who can also communicate with ordinary human beings. They just forbade him to make the episode of “Stargazing Live” in which he planned to send a message to the aliens. Cox wanted to point the Jodrell Bank radio telescope at a recently discovered planet circling another star, in the hope
of making contact with an alien civilisation. The BBC executives refused to let him do it, on the grounds that since no one knew what might happen, it could be in breach of “health and safety” guidelines. Cox, a serious scientist, knew exactly what would happen: nothing. Even if there are hostile aliens out there, space is so vast that light from the nearest star, traveling at 300,000 kilometres per second (186,000 miles/sec.), takes four years to reach us. He was just doing his bit in the centuries-long scientific campaign to convince people that they are not at the centre of everything. The BBC “suits”, who do think that they are at the centre of everything, weren’t having any of that. If there are aliens out there, and they find out we are here, their first reaction will probably be to come here and eat our children. And then the BBC will get blamed for it. Sorry, Brian. Drop the radio telescope and step away from it slowly. The suits richly deserve the derision that has come their way, but if there real-

ly is life elsewhere, and even perhaps intelligent life, then we aren’t at the centre of anything any more. We are, as Douglas Adams once put it in The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, “far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy.” We used to believe that the whole universe literally revolved around us. Then came Copernicus. But we went on believing that we are very special. We look like other animals, but we are so special that we don’t cease to exist when we die. We give the universe meaning just by being alive A bit at the time, however, science has been destroying all of our trad-
itional ideas about our own centrality. And here comes another blow. In a universe with trillions of stars, it was always less presumptuous to assume that we are not unique than to insist that we are. But just twenty years ago there was no evidence to show that other stars actually do have planets, let alone that some of those planets harbour life. We now know of the existence of some 800 “exoplanets”, and the number is doubling every year or so. Most of these planets are gas giants like Jupiter or Saturn, not at all like Earth, simply because the giants are easier to detect. But what we have really been looking for is planets like our own. We KNOW that life thrives here. The astronomers at the European Southern Observatory in Chile have now found such a planet. It is called HD 40307g, and it orbits a small orangecoloured sun 42 light-years from here. The planet is rocky, like Earth, and it orbits its star at a distance where the temperature allows water to exist as a liquid. It is certainly a can-
didate for life. In the past decade we have learned that most stars have planets, and that they typically have lots of them. HD 40307 has six planets orbiting at different distances, at least one of which (HD40307g) is in the “Goldilocks” zone. There are between 200 billion and 400 billion stars in our home galaxy, the Milky Way, and probably at least as many planets. If only one in a hundred of those planets harbours life, which is likely to be an underestimate, then there are two billion living planets. We are not unique and special. We are as common as dirt. Douglas Adams also wrote: “If life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion.” But we are gradually acquiring exactly that, and it doesn’t really hurt. It is possible to be aware of your own cosmic insignificance and still love your children. Even though they are without significance too.

LETTERS & OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Airport dialogue raises concerns
On several occasions I have flown Air Canada direct flights from Vancouver or Calgary to Toronto. So have many others. Those flights flew over American airspace to Toronto. This was and likely is still, usual practice for certain flights. So, why does the Wave Point consultant, hired by the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, make an issue of the fact that sometimes Pacific Coastal flies over American airspace for its occasional southern approach (at page 87) to the Trail airport? The reason given by the consultant is that American Military Operations out of Roosevelt “can on occasion” preclude a southern approach. Therefore, he concludes sometimes Pacific Coastal lands in Castlegar. Good spin, but, hardly necessary. I also have a problem with the Mayor of Warfield serving
on the Castlegar airport board as well as the RDKB. While it’s possible that a stipend there and a stipend here don’t amount to a conflict of interest, it does raise eyebrows. The same goes for Rossland’s Mayor who also sits on the Castlegar airport board. I can’t say either Mayor has much affection for Trail. At least, that’s the popular perception of people who take the time to talk to me about their concerns. Gathering information for a study is just the start of the process. All the relevant information must then be weighed and analysed before conclusions are drawn and recommendations made. When decision-making bodies look for a consultant, let’s say a crown agency board, they don’t look at nor hire consultants that might not give them what they want to hear.
For example, if a particular board is staffed with mainly NDPers, the board will hire a like-minded consultant who will give them what they want. Same happens in Liberal or Conservative dominated boards. Networks, baby! Nothing new. And, yes, holier than thou dippers do it, too. When members of the decision-making body nod and smile in approval over the contents of a “friendly” report, then you know the consultant has given them what they want to hear. How is that done? Well, it doesn’t take much to put emphasis and spin on what the decision-makers want to hear. Besides, there’s always the possibility of a follow-up contract. Not that any of this is the case here, right? Rose Calderon Trail
With the recent disasters that have plagued our world and the Level 3 Emergency at Teck recently I was curious about our Trail’s community plan in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. Community Emergency A community emergency is a crisis situation natural or otherwise that requires immediate attention or conditions will worsen and the possibility of a life or death situations can occur or where an incident at Teck is classified as a Level Three (Major) Emergency and the surrounding community may be impacted. What do we, as a community, do in this event? I went to the Trail web page to see if there was a community plan. I did not find anything. I asked a counsellor who led me to the Ministry Of Environment web page. Here I found nothing to
assist us in the event of a disaster at Trail. I then went to work and discovered a Teck document that mentioned: “The City of Trail Municipal Emergency Plan.” The primary intent shall be to deal with emergencies associated with Teck products or the Trail and Warfield plants. The plan also provides for Teck to respond with assistance, advice and resources in the role of “corporate citizen” in the event of community emergency situations unrelated to our operations. The plan has an alarm to inform the citizens of Trail to the emergency. The Community Alarm signal is: (10 blasts of the fire whistle). I asked several people if anyone was aware of this alarm and found not one person who was aware of this. We have an Air Raid siren that I believe is still operation-
al, when was the last time this got tested. This air raid siren could be incorporated into our Community plan. The existing alarm is not a very effective alarm if no one knows of the alarm if we were involved in an emergency. We cannot live in the dark. Emergencies whether they are man-made or natural disaster can happen at any time, we cannot bury our heads in the sand and think we are safe and that it will never happen here. We need to educate the citizens of Trail and practice what to do in the event of a natural or a man-made disaster. Teck has done its part by cooperating with the City of Trail in the development of an Emergency Plan. This plan dates back to at least decade. It’s now the city’s job to get this plan out to the residents in a timely fashion. Dominic Isernia Trail

Our thanks to Bill Clark and staff of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™, and the staff at Rosewood Village for their wonderful care of our Mom and their understanding at our time of grief. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca *** BLAIR, ELIZABETH JANE (BETTY) — Although we knew the time was near and we would have to say goodbye, it is with heavy hearts that the children of Betty Blair, announce the passing of their beloved mother, nana, and great nana. Nana, a long-time resident of Trail, passed away gracefully in the arms of her family to join her husband Wes (1992) and their eldest son Roy (1997). Nana was born on February 4, 1917, in Poplar Point, Manitoba, near Winnipeg. She was the only child of John and Janet Spence. She met the love of her life, Wesley Francis Blair in Creston, BC and was married on May 30, 1936. Nana truly cherished her family and worked very hard as a housekeeper for other families to provide extra for her children. She devoted her spare time to gardening, canning, baking, sewing, and knitting always with her children in mind. Planning and cooking the Sunday roast beef and holiday dinners where her family could gather gave her great pleasure. Nana was happiest when surrounded by her children, and grandchildren, and when she had the newest great grand baby in her arms. She had a love for life,
an easy laugh and a welcoming generous heart. Nana’s love, devotion and laughter will live on in the hearts of her surviving children; son Ken (Linda), daughter Janet (Bob), and daughter-in-law Margie (Frank), her grandchildren, ‘favourite’ granddaughter Brenda (Brent), and grandsons, Ronnie (Penny), Jaret (Candace), Tyler (Krista), Chauncy (Andrea) and Brody (Shelly) and great grandchildren, Holly, Jess, Samuel, Wesley, Addison, and Gracie Jane. Also feeling the loss are her many nieces and nephews and her fellow residents at Columbia View Lodge including George, Neva and Bunny who shared her dinner table. Nana’s family would like to express their sincere gratitude for the care and attention that was shown to her by the Home Support Staff who allowed her to stay in her home for as long as possible. We would also like to thank the staff of Columbia View Lodge for making Nana’s last few months comfortable and happy. We knew she was getting the best care she could possibly get. Family and friends are invited to honor Nana at an open house celebration of Nana’s life, which will take place on Friday, November 16, 2012 at her home on the bench from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The family would also like to invite all of those people whose lives were touched by our Nana who are unable to attend the open house to join us in a moment of silent prayer or reflection, from wherever they may be, at 2:00 p.m. on this Friday. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca.
Doctors communicate withTHEman in coma CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - For more than a decade, Scott Routley has been living in a vegetative state. He can’t talk. He can’t move. And although his eyes are open, no one is sure whether he can see. But now, for the first time, doctors caring for the 39-year-old London, Ont., man say they know he’s not in pain. And they learned it from Routley himself, after finding a new way to analyze his brain waves. “This was a landmark moment for us because for the first time, a patient can actually tell us information, important information about how they’re feeling and their current situation,” said lead researcher Dr. Adrian Owen on Tuesday. Owen, who is the head of the Brain and Mind Institute at the University of Western Ontario, says research into brain activity in vegetative patients shows that one in five are conscious, but unable to communicate verbally or physically. Owen and his team had been working with Routley for the past year, in an effort to determine his “residual brain activity” and how much he was able to understand them. Last June, the doctors used a functional magnetic resonance imaging machine (fMRI) to analyze his brain patterns. They told Routley, who became vegetative following a car crash 12 years ago, that they wanted him to imagine that he was playing tennis if he wasn’t in pain or imagine that he was walking around his house if he was in pain. The thought process involved in playing a complex sport like tennis triggers the part of the brain that controls motor skills, while thinking about walking around your house triggers visual associations - contained in a separate area of the brain. With the fMRI, doctors were able to measure the activity in Routley’s brain and conclude he was trying to tell them he was free of pain. Owen says this technology can be used to determine responses to simple yes or no questions, and may eventually pave the way for vegetative patients to communicate on a regular basis.

FIELD HOCKEY
RSS finds consolation BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
Some bad luck left the Rossland Secondary School Royals on the outside looking in at the playoff picture at the AA girls provincial field hockey championship, but it was definitely not for lack of effort. With a win in the round robin against Okanagan Mission Secondary the Royals likely would have made it into the medal round, but another tie put them in third as Crofton and Shawnigan Lake, the eventual finalist, advanced. The Royals were leading 1-0 when Okanagan spoiled their chance to advance by scoring in the final minute to tie the match at 1-1. After losing to Crofton 1-0 by another late goal, and tying Shawnigan 0-0, the two ties were not enough to advance as Shawnigan beat Okanagan to earn the second place berth. “The two goals in pool play both came in under a minute in both games,” said coach Donna Hebert. “That showed our inexperience to stay composed at the end of the game.” However, RSS finished the
consolation round in fine form. After bowing 1-0 to G.W. Graham Secondary despite carrying the play, the Royals defeated Okanagan Mission 3-0 in a rematch, and downed L. V. Rogers 2-1 to finish atop the consolation pool. “Our girls played very well, our defence was solid all around allowing very few shots on net.” Goaltender Kaela Zimmer was outstanding throughout the tournament, however, the Royals offensive output was lacking. “Had we been able to score a few more goals we would have placed significantly higher. All around we are disappointed in our placing because it does not in any way reflect how we played as a team.” Hebert says the team effort was one of the best she has seen at the provincial tournament, especially since the average age of the forward line on the team is less than 15 years old. “I am very proud of each and every one of them, and not disappointed in any way in their efforts. They have matured a great deal this year as players, and it has been a very rewarding experience for the coaching staff.”
TRAIL COMMERCIAL HOCKEY LEAGUE
Firebird scorches Re/Max
BY TIMES STAFF Firebird bounced back from a 4-3 loss to OK Tire last week to knock off league leaders Re/Max 5-3 in a classic barn burner in Trail Commercial Hockey League action. Firebird notched its second win of the season after Eric Hill converted a pass from Adam McNeil to net the winning goal and give the Bird a lead it would not relinquish. The Birds jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on goals from Craig Clare and Dan Lind, but Re/Max replied at 19:35 of the second period when Devyn Hill finished a nice passing play from Graham Proulx and Dallas Stanton to cut the lead to 2-1. The teams traded goals in the second when the prolific Proulx netted two of his own around a Matt Langille goal for Firebird. Clare counted his second of the night and the insurance marker on a penalty shot with 2:36 remaining in regulation, after being tripped up on a break away. In OK Tire’s 4-3 victory, Peter Sheets was the unlikely hero col-
lecting his first goal of the season as he fired what proved to be the winning marker past Firebird’s stalwart goaltender Mike Kooznetsoff. The Tire jumped out to a 3-0 lead on goals from Shawn Venturini, Fudge, and Darrin Kissock. However, a pair of goals from Travis Drake and a single by Mike Turner narrowed the margin to one, as Rocky Dickson nailed the door shut the rest of the way for the Tire. In other action Thursday, the Arlington and Rex Allstars fought tooth-and-ale before the Big A squeezed out a 7-6 victory. Matt Larmour picked up a hat trick and the winner at 1:33 of the second period, to give the Arlington a 7-4 lead heading into the third period. The indomitable Jim Maniago would rally the Allstars, scoring twice in 20 seconds to make it a one-goal game but the rally would come up short. The next TCHL action goes Thursday when Arlington takes on OK Tire at 7:15 p.m. and the Firebird meet the Allstars at 8:30 p.m.

Brandt builds on success BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
In just two years, a Trail native has taken his natural bodybuilding dream from the gym to the world stage. Chad Brandt is quickly moving up the ranks of the International Drug Free Athletics (IDFA) bodybuilding circuit. After placing first in the amateur Heavyweight Division and second overall at the Calgary Western Classic last month, Brandt received his Pro Athlete card and went on to compete in the IDFA World Championships and Pro Universe in Mississauga, Ont. last week. “Last weekend at the World championships and Pro Universe was the best time of my life,” said Brandt. “I have to admit I was a little star struck for the first bit, but then I settled in nicely and had a stellar show.” The 39 year old placed seventh in the Heavyweight division, a remarkable accomplishment for one who has been training for just two years, while other pros have been conditioning intensively for 15 to 20 years plus, added Brandt.
Turning pro was originally part of a fiveyear plan, but due to his rapid progress and commitment to training and diet, his plan was accelerated. At the World Championship Brandt had the opportunity to compete on stage with his idol Erik Alstrup, who placed first in the event. “I have a magazine clipping on my vision board of the 2010 World Championships - Alstrup placed second that year. I would look at this each day and marvel at the natural physiques, wondering if I could do that and wanting to be on that stage. Two years later it actually happened. Thoughts become things, believe it.” The Rossland Secondary School grad now lives in Lethbridge where he is the coach, manager, and owner of Action Conditioning, a burgeoning gym that combines specialty fitness training and youth programs in addition to teaching nutrition and health. “I am a huge believer in goal setting and walking the walk; being a coach that practices what he preaches. “I want my clients

TRAIL MENS’ RETIREES CURLING
Foursomes fight for top spot Playoffs loom for retirees BY TIMES CONTRIBUTOR
Trail & District Arts Council presents
Barra MacNeils Christmas Show The
It will come down to the wire tonight in Trail Mens’ Retirees Curling as six teams vie for first place. In last week’s action, Lefty Gould maintained his hold on top spot with a 9-4 win over the Wayne Wyton team. Gould took three points in each the second and fourth ends and cruised to the win. If Lefty’s rink can continue their winning ways, they will seal a trip to the playoffs.
Primo Secco’s foursome drew against Tom Hall’s team, in a back-and-forth match for the first three ends. However, the Hall rink put up four points in the fourth forcing the Secco rink into a more aggressive style of play. The Hall team held steady for three ends, and in the eighth end ran the Secco team out of rocks for a 9-5 win. Jim Stewart’s team, also tied for first place going into Wednesday, played short handed with only three players. After three close ends, Dan Horan’s team scored a big four

ender in the fourth. The Stewart team, having only one sweeper, faded in the final ends and eventually ran out of rocks in the eighth. The final score, Horan 11 and Stewart 5. Cliff Tyson’s team battled back against Robin Siddall’s team to take sole possession of second place. The see-saw game had the Siddall rink up by two with hammer coming home. The Tyson rink needed rocks in play and some luck in the final end, and got both for the 8-7 win. Coke Koyanagi was also shorthanded on Wednesday, and Cal McKerracker’s team looked to take advantage of that fact. Locked in a tight game after three ends, with no rocks in play McKerracker decided to blank the fourth end and carry hammer into the fifth end. That decision backfired as the Koyanagi rink stole two in the fifth, and one each in the sixth, and seventh, then running Cal’s team out of rocks in the eighth. Of note: Larry Martin playing third for Coke, and throwing three rocks because they were shorthanded, had a spectacular game.

discuss a lax but scheduled time of arrival and departure with them in the future, or am I being unfair to suggest that the party should move elsewhere after 10 hours? I want my husband and his friends to feel comfortable in our home, but I also don’t want my house invaded for such a long period of time. -- East Coast Dear East Coast: It is always wise to discuss time constraints in advance, particularly when overstaying annoys you so much. Some wives would have no objection to a 12-hour marathon. They would occupy themselves elsewhere,
“Not a Fan of the Big Gulp.” I agree that a Big Gulp is probably a little over the top. However, I always bring my own canned soda to my family’s parties. You see, I am a recovering alcoholic with 24 years of sobriety. Sadly, my family members cannot be trusted not to add liquor to whatever is served. My sponsor suggested that I bring my own drink and keep it with me at all times. One can then be certain that alcoholfree drinks are neither tampered with nor inadvertently mixed with alcoholic drinks. At a bridal shower for my nephew’s fiancee, I brought my own soda. As I was leaving, my sister took me aside and told me that our niece had spiked the lemonade with vodka so people would “loosen up.” I was shocked and angry that this 37-year-old niece would pull such
a juvenile and dangerous trick. Aside from my sobriety, she never considered that some guests may have been taking medication that could be lethal in combination with alcohol. -- Recovering Drunk Dear Recovering:
We are certain that etiquette would give you a pass. We also heard from someone whose well water was tainted. But in most instances, it is rude to bring your own beverage to occasions where there is a variety served. And it
is never appropriate to bring a Big Gulp. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net.

Dear Annie: Recently, my husband mentioned that he wanted to get together with some friends for a project. I encouraged him to invite the guys to our home to work on it. I thought it would be a few hours, but it ended up taking well over 12. They arrived early in the morning and stayed until late that night, taking over our living room. I suggested in private to my husband that he should have wrapped things up by late afternoon. The project is for fun. It’s not like they had a deadline for work. It is also designed to continue on a weekly basis for the next six months, so committing to only a portion of the day would not have made much difference. My husband, however, is a people pleaser and didn’t feel he could ask his friends to leave before they wanted to. Would it be wise to
