Trail volunteer has a gift for giving Annual Christmas Raffle gives back to the elderly

in October, and then the KBRH Foundation forwards the list to BC Lotto, where the tickets are printed. “Last year, I made $3500, the most ever, and all the proceeds go back to the Poplar Ridge residents.” The raffle draw also keeps the residents of Poplar Ridge busy at their annual Christmas party. “The residents pick names out of one box to match with a ticket from another, and this makes for a fun time,” she said. Jimenez’s passion to volunteer time and care to the residents at Poplar Ridge began soon after she started a care-giving job there. “Everyone has something they love to do, and I love to help the residents of Poplar Ridge,” she said. “She is a small lady but she has a great big heart,” said Dennis Lacey, Poplar Ridge supporter. Ticket sales began Nov. 6 and will be sold until the Poplar Ridge Christmas party on Dec. 18. Jimenez’s impressive array of gifts and gift certificates to be raffled, are on display by the first floor elevator at KBRH, Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:45 p.m.

From one holiday to the next, the true meaning of Christmas seems to have gotten lost over the years. But one Trail resident, who begins planning for the holidays in early fall, does so with one mission in mind – to give back to the residents of Poplar Ridge Pavilion. “The third week of September, I start going around town to ask for donations to the Poplar Ridge Christmas Raffle,” said Marisa Jimenez, volunteer in the extended care wing at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital (KBRH). Jimenez began her annual venture 12 years ago, and each year donations to the raffle have grown to exceed her hopes. This year was no exception. “I was worried this year with so many businesses closing, but that wasn’t the case, there was more donations and the raffle just keeps getting bigger.” So far Jimenez has received 39 gift certificates and 55 gifts, and is

PACIFIC COASTAL

Cause of flame burst still unknown Plane remains parked in Trail BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

The plume has long since cleared, but a shroud of mystery still engulfs a Pacific Coastal plane grounded at the Trail Regional Airport. One week following an incident at the airport the plane remains parked because there is internal damage within the engine, said Spencer Smith, vice president of commercial services for Pacific Coastal Airlines “It is too early to tell why there is engine damage, but we think it was caused by tests we did the next day.” Smith went on to explain that the maintenance crew arrived the morning of Nov. 15, and did not see any damage. A new engine is currently en route from Vancouver, said Smith. He declined to discuss the outcome of the on-going investigation. “It is too early to comment if we should have done anything different,” he said. “All that information will come out at a later date.” On Nov. 14, passengers were in the middle of deplaning at the Trail airport, when a person turned around and saw what he thought was fire and alerted the staff. Fire retardant was deployed by the pilots although Pacific Coastal officials said there was never any fire. Smith said what can happen during the shut down of a plane is that extra fuel can build up in the exhaust pipe and the excess that is shot out appears as flame.

Preparedness a key priority for emergency officials BY GUY BERTRAND Times Staff

The row of books above Dan Derby’s desk attests to the amount of preparedness there is in the event of an emergency in the region. Responding to a letter to the editor in last week’s Trail Times, Derby and Trail’s Public Works manager and a member of the Emergency Planning Centre Larry Abenante gave a detailed account of the training, education and practice behind the region’s emergency preparedness plan.

Abenante explained how the response plan is an evolving document as contact personnel changes, services improve and preparation is evaluated. Participants in the plan are continuously training and upgrading for any potential disaster. Derby presented a partial list of table-top emergencies and seminars that local authorities have participated in. It ranges from flood observation and training to a Pacific Northwest exercise that included 40 agencies from the U.S. and Canada to last month’s wildfire exercise in

Grand Forks where emergency plans were rehearsed. He pointed to Sunday night’s fire in downtown Trail as an example of all facets of emergency response – from police to ambulance to firefighters – were quickly on hand to deal with the situation. And it’s only going to get better. A revision of the master plan for the entire district is nearing completion, which will streamline response time and have all parties on the same page. “The new plan is a plan that can be used in Warfield, Trail

even as far away as Greenwood,” said Abenante. The master plan has contact people and services in each region so it can be executed quickly and effectively. “There’s a matrix for the whole regional district; who has what training, when they got it,” he added. While the majority of the plan involves the key personnel required in the event of an emergency, Abenante and Derby both agreed that the first line of safety for individual residents is common sense.

Having an emergency kit at home is the first step towards surviving any emergency. “During an emergency, you could be on your own for an extended period,” said Derby. “Emergency services may not be readily available, as increasing demands are placed on responders. It may take emergency workers some time to get to you as they help those in most critical need. Access to phones, gas, water, sewer and electrical services may be cut off. Learning how to be personally prepared is vital.”

LOCAL Union strikes deal with FortisBC BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

The ink has dried on the agreement between the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union, local 378 (COPE 378) members in its negotiations with FortisBC Inc. (Electric). In late October 75 per cent of COPE 378 members voted in favour of ratifying the tentative agreement reached with the employer on Oct.18. It was officially ratified on Nov. 1. The three-year agreement carries with it a 2.5 per cent wage increase in the first year, with two per cent increases in the two subsequent years. The deal runs until Dec. 31, 2013. All wage increases are fully retroactive and include improved educational funding and an educational leave of absence, work leader premium, increased vehicle mileage and per diem rates. “(We) are satisfied that we were able to stop the proposed gutting of retiree benefits at the same time as negotiating for improvements in wages and other working conditions,” read a statement from the union. Strike notice was served by 81 Trail people at FortisBC in late October. Citing an attack on their benefits, COPE 378 announced its members at FortisBC Inc. (Electric) would act on a Labour Board interim order and go on strike. Although the notice had been handed down, negotiations between the company and the union resumed and resulted in an agreement. The union members—which includes eight members in South Slocan, 48 in Kelowna, two in Penticton, and six in Oliver—voted 88 per cent in favour of a strike after the company’s last offer in late August was rejected. The union has been without a contract since January, 2011. COPE 378’s members perform inside work at FortisBC Inc. (Electric) including office administration, IT, design, planning, project coordination and analysis.

There will be fun opportunities to support the cause including fake moustaches by donation and daffodil boxers for sale. Proceeds from the puck toss will also be donated to the Cancer Society. The Canadian Cancer Society will be on site encouraging men to get to know their equipment and providing information on men’s health. There will also be a “Grow of the Game” contest for fans with great facial hair. This year the men’s health campaign focuses on “one thing” and the Canadian Cancer Society is asking “What is One Thing you can do to reduce your risk of cancer?” You can learn more about this campaign and find out how to create your own game plan for health at the Smokies game on Friday. You can also find out more information about men’s cancers, cancer prevention and early detection and screening by visiting the Canadian Cancer Society’s website at www. cancergameplan.ca.

Here in the Kootenay region, the Canadian Cancer Society is partnering with men’s hockey teams to get the message out, including with the Trail Smoke Eaters for a local ‘Growvember’ campaign. On Friday the Canadian Cancer Society is partnering with the Smoke Eaters at their home game to raise awareness about men’s health and specifically men’s cancers below the waist; prostate, colorectal and testicular. These three cancers account for more than 40 per cent of all new cancers in men. “We know that men generally don’t like to talk about their health issues, however, it’s important that these taboos are broken,” says Patti Moore, Health Promotion Coordinator at the Canadian Cancer Society. “The Society and the Trail Smoke Eaters are working together to let men to know that cancers below

Report

B.C. child poverty second-worst in Canada THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - British Columbia must target child-poverty reduction with the same gusto it devotes to its jobs creation strategy, says a report released Tuesday that finds B.C. has the second highest child poverty rate in Canada. First Call BC, a child and youth advocacy coalition of more than 90 provincial organizations and 25 communities, says the latest Statistics Canada numbers peg B.C.’s child-poverty rate at 14.3 per cent, with the Canadian average at 13.7 per cent. The First Call report card numbers reflect before-tax incomes and apply to 2010. The report states that Manitoba has the highest child poverty rate in Canada. Prior to this year, B.C. posted the highest

child poverty rates in Canada for eight years in a row. Dr. John Millar, spokesman for the Public Health Association of B.C. and a First Call member, said British Columbia’s lack of a co-ordinated and dedicated strategy to reduce child poverty is a “disgrace.” The First Call report calls for a government poverty-reduction strategy with an overall goal of reducing child poverty in B.C.

to seven per cent or lower by 2020. Millar said Premier Christy Clark’s Liberal government, which boasts that it has created the most jobs in Canada over the last year, appears to have convinced itself that merely creating jobs will help end the cycle of child poverty that has gripped B.C. for the past decade. “It seems to be more of a lack of commitment and perhaps a neo-Liberal economic view that if you stimulate the economy, sooner or later the money will trickle down to the poor people, but we know that simply doesn’t work and isn’t working,” said Millar.

“We need to have a more organized effort than simply relying on that,” he said. The most recent rankings do not include B.C.’s moves to increase the minimum wage to $10.25 per hour, offer earnings exemptions to welfare recipients and increase some disability payments. British Columbia and Saskatchewan are the two provinces in Canada without designated child-poverty reduction strategies. “The problem is that for over a decade now, B.C. has been behind the rest of Canada,” Millar said. “We’ve had the highest both child, family and adult poverty rates in the country and despite some good efforts on the part of the government, most recently raising the minimum wage ... we still are right at the bottom of the heap.” Millar said B.C. lacks a concerted, organized and responsible childpoverty fighting strategy that seeks to move the province to the top spot in Canada.

Millar said First Call wants Premier Christy Clark to appoint a minister responsible for fighting child poverty. The First Call report stated the number of poor children in 2010 was 119,000, about one of every seven B.C. children. It stated about twothirds - or 80,000 - of these children lived in Metro Vancouver. The report stated B.C. also had the highest income gaps between rich and poor families. Millar said poverty robs children of their potential and increases health problems. Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux defended B.C.’s recent efforts to reduce child poverty. “No government, no individual, myself included, ever wants to see children or families living in poverty and what we can do to address poverty with families takes concerted effort,”’ she said. Cadieux said B.C.’s jobs plan to create jobs in the mining and natural gas sectors is a key weapon in the government’s plan to fight child poverty. “We know that a good job is the best way out of poverty for a family,” she said. “We are trending in the right direction, we are trending down and we all need to continue to recognize that the opportunity for families to have jobs is ultimately the best way to focus on helping people out of poverty.” Opposition New Democrat social development critic Carole James said the Liberals appear to be in denial when it comes to tackling child poverty in B.C. “It needs leadership from the top,” she said. “It just seems to me that the most effective approach is to put in place a provincewide plan that utilizes the resources and communities and brings government to the table as partners.” James said the NDP has tabled proposed legislation in the legislature that calls for a provincial poverty reduction strategy.

NATIONAL HALL, JIM — James Douglas Hall 60, of Fruitvale, British Columbia, passed away on November 10, 2012 after a short and courageous battle with cancer. Jim is survived by his wife Pat, children Kim, Kelly and David, siblings Marylyn (Brett), Kathy (Gord), Bobby, Karen (John), Jamie, Patrick, Michael (Linda), Grant and Alyson (Randy) as well as 8 grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Jim was preceded in death by his parents Jaimer and Mary, younger brother Billy and brother-in-law Gord. Jim and his wife Pat of 34 years raised their three children in Fruitvale. Jim was born in Trail on May 20, 1952. He was one of the first births at the “new” Trail hospital. Jim graduated from secondary school in Trail and went on to study mechanics. He completed his mechanic apprenticeship at Cominco and the City of Trail to attain his Heavy Duty Mechanic Certificate. Since then Jim continued to attain a number of additional certificates and developed expertise in many specialized fields. Over the years Jim applied his mechanical skills and expertise to many local businesses. He coupled those with generosity and genuine interest in people and provided a variety of services to many enterprises. His legacy may be found in many community projects. Jim will also be remembered for his ongoing commitment to his work and the well-being of his family, friends and employees. In a recent conversation Jim was asked whether someone was an employee or a friend? Jim responded “both”. This is how Jim will be remembered in the community along with his colourful personality and unique approach. In recent years Jim enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren engaging in various activities including swimming, kayaking and cycling. A Celebration of Jim’s Life and “Jim’s Final Retirement Party” will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #11, 2141 Columbia Avenue, Trail on Saturday, December 1 at 11am. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services has been entrusted with arrangements. As expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be given to the Greater Trail Food Bank, C/O Trail United Church, 1300 Pine Ave. V1R 4E6. The Family of Jim Hall wishes to thank the hospital staff, especially the oncology ward, and the many friends and relatives who were very gracious and generous with their assistance and support. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca

‘Call me crazy but I thought we were Canada the Good’ Robocall complainant lashes out at political trickery

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Sandra McEwing is mad as hell and isn’t going to take it anymore. The Winnipeg mom is one of eight private citizens challenging the May 2011 federal election results in six closely contested ridings where someone tried to influence voters with misleading phone calls. The civil suit goes to trial in Ottawa next month. “I had no idea that Canadian politics was so vulnerable to such underhanded behaviour,” McEwing said Wednesday after describing a phoney, automated “Elections Canada” call to her home saying her polling station had moved. “I mean, call me crazy, but I thought we were Canada the Good. Who sits around and comes up with ideas to trick me out of my vote? I’m just about apoplectic.” McEwing and Peggy Walsh Craig of North Bay, Ont., appeared at a news conference in Ottawa with Gary Neil, the executive director of the left-leaning Council of Canadians, which is supporting the court challenge. Their argument, supported chiefly by a poll that attempted to statistically model the incidence and impact of misleading calls, seeks to have the election of six Conservative MPs overturned and new byelections called. The suit is parallel to - and unsupported by - an ongoing Elections Canada investigation into fraudulent robocalls. Needless to say, lawyers for the six government MPs are hotly contesting the suit - not least because none of the eight applicants actually failed to cast a ballot in the 2011 vote as a result

of the ruse. The applicants want to overturn federal election results “using nothing more than statistics and argument,” states the memorandum of fact filed in Federal Court this week by Conservative lawyers. The factum states that “the applicants seek to imply fraud in the air, leading only indirect and hearsay evidence, alleged against no one in particular ... in hopes the court will accept the fraud as proven fact - and one that is, moreover, so compelling and drastic as to justify the disenfranchisement of nearly a quarter of a million Canadians.” Given the recent Supreme Court of Canada ruling in the case of Conservative MP Ted Opitz, whose closefought 2011 election win was upheld despite proven procedural problems, the civil suit would appear to be a legal long shot. Walsh Craig, who also says she received a fake Elections Canada call in a riding where the Conservative MP won by just 18 votes, says there’s a more fundamental principle at stake. “Most people think the battle for democracy was won by previous generations and that we really don’t have to do anything more about preserving democracy,” she said. “I think there are significant threats in our time and in our country to democracy.” It’s a point that can get lost in the partisan mud-slinging in Ottawa, where the governing Conservatives have been on the defensive for months over allegations the fraud worked in their favour and had links to their party. The clearly fraudulent calls have become mixed up with other voter-contact calls by all political parties, some of which also broke the rules.

Rather than addressing the substance of opposition charges, MP Pierre Poilievre - the designated Conservative point man fielding robocalls questions in the House of Commons - tends to deflect and attack back. It’s a tried and true method for defusing controversy, but has the unfortunate side effect of making the Conservatives appear unconcerned about real electoral fraud. Indeed, a Liberal private members’ bill to allow the chief electoral officer to challenge election results and impose tougher fines for offences was voted down by the Conservative majority Wednesday night in the House of Commons. One indisputable fact stands clear: Some cheater pretending to be Elections Canada contacted voters in select ridings across Canada on or just before election day and told them their polling station had changed. While McEwing had already voted in an advance poll when the misleading call came to her Winnipeg home, her 18-year-old son had not. “It really makes me angry that someone’s trying to misdirect my son in his first election,” said McEwing. She believes there is value in her civil suit, even if it is ultimately tossed out of Federal Court. The case has revealed the extent of data mining being done by political parties, said McEwing, and the possibility they might “find ways to keep you from voting.” “I think now there’s a possibility that somebody might go, ‘Hey, I need to protect my right to vote, it’s not going to come automatically, somebody might try to misdirect me or misinform me.”’ “Who would conceive of such a thing? But now, here it is.”

Generation Squeeze starts fighting back

anadians will next go to the polls in a federal election sometime in 2015. During the campaign, candidates are likely to emphasize family values, and some will claim they put ‘families first’. But there is little evidence that ANY of the parties truly understand a family like Joanne McCullough’s. Joanne, age 38, is a mom of two. She and her husband are small business owners – proprietors of the Golden Taps pub in beautiful Golden B.C. They work hard to cope with high housing prices. It now takes 15 years for the typical 25 to 34 year old to save a 20 per cent down payment for an average home in B.C., whereas it took just five years in 1976. To compensate, Joanne shoulders a part-time job on top of their small business, working as the early childhood coordinator in Golden. Joanne and her husband are squeezed further because child-care servi-

ces for their kids would cost the equivalent of another mortgage. This added expense comes after they sacrificed many, many thousands of dollars from their household income to spend enough time at home when their kids were really young. Joanne is not alone. Many others under 45 ask: why are Families Unaffordable (F.U.) today compared a generation ago? This F.U. is far more offensive to generations in their prime child-rearing years than any fourletter slur. Joanne used to feel ashamed. Ashamed in front of her parents, who enjoyed a far more solid economic foundation when they were her age. But her shame disappears when she learns it’s not her fault that young people’s wages are down when compared to 1976, nor that housing prices are 80 per cent higher across the country. That’s just bad timing. Joanne decided to shine a light on the bad timing for everyone in her

community to see. Her strategy is simple: reclaim the ‘sex, drugs and rock & roll’ of the 1960s and 70s. Back then, when people were drinking and dancing, they were also debating the war in Vietnam, civil rights, and gender equality. For Joanne, the time, income and service squeeze with which so many in her generation struggle is now a problem of similar magnitude. She thinks Canadians of all ages must rediscover fun ways to talk about the squeeze in order to add their voice to this generational story. So she hosted a WTF? Party (Where’s the

Family?) and packed her bar full with citizens from Golden, including the mayor and many on council. Some try to discredit younger Canadians like Joanne for being ‘entitled’ when they propose policy change to reduce the squeeze. Such critics ignore the facts. Each year governments spend around $37,500 per Canadian aged 65-plus (mostly on medical care, CPP, and OAS). By contrast, governments spend just $9,200 per Canadian for those under 45 (mostly on grade 1 to 12, postsecondary, EI and medical care). While higher spending per capita on retirees makes sense because aging brings frailty, the gap between spending on older and younger generations merits scrutiny, especially since wealth among Canadians approaching retirement today has tripled on average compared to the same age group in 1976. Adding just $1,100 to annual spending per

Canadian under 45 could save families from paying the equivalent of an additional mortgage when they stay at home with a newborn or use child-care services. The resulting savings would be enough for the typical young family to pay off student debt, or put aside a down payment five years sooner, or reduce their mortgage faster, or invest in an RRSP that with compound interest will add $193,000 to retirement income. Narrowing the generational spending gap is the policy solution for which Joanne aims. By hosting WTF? Parties or Gen Squeeze picnics, galas and get-togethers, she believes Canadians can have fun while influencing political parties of all stripes to acknowledge that socioeconomic challenges are growing faster for younger generations, even as Canada’s population ages.

Lifestyle changes rare despite diagnosis THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A new report says Canadians aged 50-plus who are diagnosed with a chronic condition like heart disease or diabetes rarely make lifestyle changes that could extend their lives. The Statistics Canada study found quitting smoking or cutting back on cigarettes were the changes most commonly reported, but most tobacco users con-

tinued to smoke. People diagnosed with diabetes were the most likely to make changes, although the lifestyle improvements were still modest. The 12-year study of more than 17,000 Canadians found those diagnosed with diabetes reduced smoking, drank less alcohol, exercised more, and ate more fruit and vegetables. But those who developed a respiratory disease like asth-

ma or emphysema reported little change in smoking behaviour or eating habits, and they also became less physically active. The study found a reduction in excessive drinking was the only change in health behaviours by people with a respiratory disease. Heart disease, cancer, stroke, respiratory disease and diabetes are among the leading causes of death in Canada.

Special to the Times Facing decisions concerning end of life care is something that we will eventually need to consider, whether it be regarding ourselves, family members, or friends. Optimal quality of life during a person’s final months, weeks, or days is an important component of the dying process, and is individual to each person. Often, quality of life at this point is focused on pain and symptom management, emotional, social, and spiritual support and ensuring that the person’s wishes are carried out. This type of compassionate, holistic support is the aim of hospice care. One of the foundational principles of hospice is to focus on the person rather than the disease. The aim is to concentrate on the person’s entire sense of well-being, rather than focusing solely on managing the illness. Hospice care is typically offered to those who have approximately six months left to live, and physician referral is not required to access this service. Hospice care can be provided in the client’s home, hospital, or a long term care facility. In this area, we are fortunate to have the Greater Trail Hospice Society to serve the needs of the people in our community. This organization delivered 894 direct service hours in the past six months, primarily provided by trained volunteers. Although this society receives some government funding, Trail Hospice Chairperson Gail

Potter states that it has decreased over the past few years, and it is now only enough to cover just under one fifth of their overall budget. Existing fundraising activities and donations help somewhat, however, some needs are still unmet. For example, there are limited opportunities for grief counselling in our area for those who need it. This is a service that could be provided if greater funding were available to the Hospice Society. We can help ensure that the Hospice Society can continue to provide compassionate support for people who are dying and their families by advocating for additional government funding, and supporting the society’s fundraising activities, such as the memorial garden or annual golf tournament. The society welcomes estate and in memoriam donations. Monthly contributions help to provide a stable, reliable income for the society to base their budget on. With the Christmas season quickly approaching, a donation in memory of a loved one is a great way to create a meaningful and lasting tribute. For more information about how you can donate, or become a volunteer, visit www.trailhospice.org.

CHITORYU KARATE

B.C. bronze for Verigin to represent the Kootenay-Boundary and Thompson-Okanagan-Nicola regions for the event at the B.C. Institute of Technology. “As I have said before to all my students, if you try hard enough and believe in yourself you can make anything happen,” said Beaver Valley Karate Sensei Scott Hutchinson in an email. The Fruitvale Elementary school student was not only the first Karateka to qualify to go to the provincials, she is the first novice-level bronze medalist in Kata from the area - ever. “Macy was the most junior ranked of all the girls in her division, meaning they were all higher ranked and more experienced than her making her win a very hard and well deserved one,” says Hutchinson. The provincials used a base score of 7.0 to judge kata this time, with five judges scoring with highest and lowest dropped to give an average score of 21.0. Macy demonstrated the kata, Kihon Kata Ichi, and scored 6.8, 6.9, and 6.9 for a score of 20.6, a well deserved score and a great performance for the 10-year-old novice who has just two years experience with the Beaver Valley club. “Karate can be so much fun if you let it, and it allows for a social well being and a sense of belonging that is so hard to find. “I think Macy had quite a bit of fun in not only meeting her goals but smashing them with the cherries on top,” added Hutchinson.

Despite limited play over the summer, Rossland’s Ben Gresley-Jones, a Rossland-Trail Country Club golfer, won the Golf Town Canadian National event at the Doral Golf Resort in Miami in Florida last month under less-than-ideal conditions.

Gresley-Jones wins tempestuous event

Big week for Bobcats a row for Quinnipiac, and gives them an 8-3-1 record on the season including a perfect 4-0 in interconference play. Meanwhile head coach Rich Kromm’s Evanstown IceMen of the East Coast Hockey League are starting to get back on track thanks to Trail native Todd Robinson. The injury-riddled team won 2-of3 last week, with Robinson counting five assists in the three games. The former Trail minor hockey product leads the IceMen in scoring with one goal, and 15 assists in 16 games and was Evansville’s nomination for ECHL Player of the Week. The IceMen currently sit in fifth in the North division. Kromm, also a former Trail resident, is 23 wins away from his 400th coaching victory.

Montrose’s Connor and Kellen Jones, and Trail’s Travis St. Denis all had big games for the Bobcats to propel them into 18th spot in the U.S. College Hockey national rankings. Connor Jones scored twice and Kellen picked up two assists in the Bobcats 2-0 shut out over Providence Tuesday night, and St. Denis counted four points in his last three games to lead the Cats.

A Rossland golfer didn’t let a little thing like a tropical storm dampen his chances of winning the Canadian Golf Town National Amateur championship at the Doral Golf Resort in Miami, Fla. last month. Teeing off in monsoon-like conditions, Ben Gresley-Jones came from five shots back in the final round to win the championship at Doral’s Blue Monster course. The tournament, the finale of Canada’s Golf Town National Amateur series, ran from Oct. 23-27 and suffered the early wrath of Hurricane Sandy. “It was considered a tropical storm at that point, but it was turning into a hurricane,” said Gresley-Jones. The event was intended to be a four-day event, however weather blew out one day and the other three days were played under rain-drenched skies and strong winds. Gresley-Jones won the championship flight, but was not happy with his play and the tempestuous weather. For a scratch-golfer, the 29-year-old blanches at his three-round 246, shooting rounds of 80, 84, and 82,

compared to his rounds of 72 and 76 at the Western Canada qualifier at the Silvertip Resort in Canmore, Alta. “It was really, really difficult. I’ve played in wind before but nothing that severe. It was like three or four clubs every shot. You had to take wind into account on putts, which is something I’d never seen before, you’d hit a ball and the wind would blow it like a foot and a half or two feet off line. The scores really reflect that.” During one round, the standing-water was so bad, golfers were allowed to pickclean-and-drop within one club length – on the green. Still everyone was in the same sinking boat, and Gresley-Jones managed to overcome the elements, a fivestroke deficit, and still win by 3-strokes over Robert Berger of Oakville, Ont. And Chad Minclak of Ponoka, Alta. “It wasn’t about shooting a low score, it was basically about surviving and maintaining. Everyone was struggling so the guy that was able to struggle least was successful.” Due to work commitments, Gresley-Jones played little golf all summer, but managed to qualify for the national event

in Florida by winning the Western Canada Golf Town championship tournament in Canmore in September. “I only did one event, I was kind of taking the year off this summer and it just happened their was an event in Canmore when I was coming through for work for my next shift,” said Gresley-Jones who works for Universal Aviation in northern Alberta. “It was a two-day tournament on a course I hadn’t played yet . . . I ended up taking the chance to go there and winning it and that’s what qualified me for this national event.” With the win at Doral, Gresley-Jones also receives an exemption to next year’s Canadian Amateur in Victoria, and plans to hit the links a lot more in 2013 to prepare. He also has the B.C. Amateur at Christina Lake inked in to prepare for the national championship. While it was unfortunate the weather didn’t cooperate, Gresley-Jones says he can cross one more course of his bucket list, as the beautiful TPC Blue Mountain Golf course at Doral won’t be the same once new owner Donald Trump is done redesigning it this year.

Smoke Eaters grapple with Tyson takes it Gorillas RETIREES CURLING

t’s been a memorable week for the Trail Smoke Eaters after two rousing home wins and a scholarship commitment for the club’s leading scorer Brent CHRIS Baltus. The Smoke Eaters followed that Off the Wahl news up by acquiring Salmon Arm Silverbacks captain Bennett Hambrook in a trade Tuesday. The ex-Nelson Leafs defenseman actually made his BCHL debut with Trail during the 2009-10 season, and has grown his reputation as a fearless shot-blocker, and all-round tough customer through three and a half seasons of junior hockey. No question Trail can ride the momentum of these two news tidbits, as well as the four crucial points earned on home ice last weekend, into a home and home series with Hambrook’s former club, the Silverbacks, Friday and Saturday. Like Trail, Troy Mick’s Salmon Arm squad has made a number of changes since the start of the season with an eye on the future, and will be itching for revenge after the Smokies earned a 5-2 win in the Shuswap back in October. No question, though, if the Smokies are to compete this season, they will have to continue making inroads on the road. After winning only one of their first 11 away games, Trail has collected points in three of the past four games away from Cominco Arena. With a three-game Coastal swing right around the corner, against Powell River, Coquitlam and Chilliwack next week, there’s no better time than the present for this club to continue its upward trend in those snazzy new orange uniforms. Despite its standing in the Interior division, Salmon Arm will prove a challenge this weekend, home and away. And given this season’s home form, it’s a pretty safe bet that anyone who strolls into Cominco Arena Friday night will leave the building entertained. The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. Chris Wahl is the play-by-play voice of the Trail Smoke Eaters. Visit his blog at off-thewahl.blogspot.ca

WAHL

BY TIMES CONTRIBUTOR Going into the last game of Trail Men’s Retiree Curling session last week, it was a fourhorse race down to the wire. Cliff Tyson’s team had a one point lead over Lefty Gould and Primo Secco foursomes and the Dan Horan rink was just one point behind them. Tyson’s rink knew a win would clinch the section for them, and secure a place in the playoffs, but he’d first have to defeat a tough Tom Hall rink. The Tyson rink jumped out to a 3-0 lead after three ends thanks to strong play by Bob Menin and skip Tyson. The Hall rink came back with two points in the fourth end to close the gap to one point, but the Tyson rink responded with two strong ends to put the game out of reach and secure the top spot in the session. The Lefty Gould team, skipped Wednesday by Pat

The Special Olympic Roadrunners’ floor hockey team is back on the hard floor as they took on a stacked EZ Rock lineup at the Trail Middle School Tuesday. EZ Rock won the exciting match in a shootout to even the season series at one game apiece. The Roadrunners have a full compliment of games lined up and will face teams from the RCMP, District 20 Teachers, and the Beaver Valley Nitehawks among others. Close to 50 athletes are now registered in the Special Olympic program which includes floor hockey, bowling, down-hill skiing, and club-fit in winter and bocce, swimming, and golf in summer. Fennell, played Dan Horan’s team in a must win game for both teams. The Gould rink’s front end played magnificently and setup every end for Fennell. In the fourth end with Pat’s last rock they made a raise takeout to score six. The Gould team continued playing strong and after six ends with the score 13-4, the Horan team shook hands. Primo Secco’s rink played against a short handed Jim Stewart’s team. The Stewart

team with only one sweeper pressed in the fourth end, but could not overcome a substantial Secco lead. The Secco team proved too strong in the final half of the game and came away with an 8-3 win. In one of the few games without playoff implications, the Serge Pasquali team beat the Wayne Wyton team 7-2. Congratulations to Cliff Tyson, Bob Mennin, Gerry Godfrey, Serg Peloso and Tom McLachlan, winners of the first section.

NHL

Some progress made in talks THE CANADIAN PRESS NEW YORK - The NHL and NHL Players’ Association finally seem to be speaking the same language, but they still have a gap to bridge in negotiations on a collective bargaining agreement. The union tabled a comprehensive proposal Wednesday that generated a tepid response from the league. However, commissioner Gary Bettman acknowledged the six-page offer was a step in the right direction and the document appeared to offer a path forward in talks, with the sides

now envisioning the same type of economic system. “There was some movement in our direction and it was appreciated,” said Bettman. “We’re still far apart. But hopefully there’s some momentum so we can bring this to a conclusion.” The union proposed a 50-50 split of revenues during the five-year deal along with $393 million in deferred make whole payments throughout the agreement. Two weeks ago, the league offered $211 million and a 50-50 split. NHLPA executive director

Donald Fehr acknowledged that his constituents are anxious to end the lockout and indicated that the new offer is “about as good” as the players are willing to make. “(The players) are suffering right along with the fans,” said Fehr. “We made an enormous move in the owners direction to try and end it - at least as of today that hasn’t been successful.” With the lockout into its 10th week, the sides are attempting to reach a deal that would see a shortened schedule played this season.

Reid considers football future

THE CANADIAN PRESS SURREY, B.C. - Angus Reid cleaned out his locker Tuesday, wondering whether he would return for a 13th season with the B.C. Lions. But the 36-year-old centre, who is contemplating retirement, was not the only one pondering his future in wake of B.C.’s 34-29 loss to the Calgary Stampeders in the Western Final on Sunday, when the Lions were denied a chance at a second straight Grey Cup victory. Change is inevitable. But as the Lions signed autographs, shook hands and departed carrying plastic bags full of their personal belongings, there was a feeling the club will make more moves than it has in recent off-seasons.

“It was a conscious decision this year to keep our team pretty much the same as the Grey Cup championship team, to hopefully repeat,” said Reid. “We wanted to keep that team together for one more run. We didn’t do it. Everyone now is one year older. I don’t know who, what, where but you know there’ll be more change than there was last year.” Reid admitted he can’t make an objective choice, so he will sit down with family members and coaches for help in determining his future. “I love to do it, I really do, but it does take a lot out of me physically, psychologically, emotionally,” he said. “It’s all I’ve ever really known though.”

please contact PFLAG (pflag.org), an organization that can answer some of your questions and help you discuss the matter with your parents. Dear Annie: I am writing to you because I am so angry. I was unhappy at my job after seven years. The insurance was the only good thing about it. My friend “Carolyn” had been after me for years to come work with her. She was always saying how much better her job was. The money was good, and the insurance was the same. So I changed jobs. But, Annie, as soon as I went to work there,

to do but tough it out. After seven months, I was laid off due to lack of work. I honestly believe I worked myself out of a job. I later found out that I was the third person she has done this to. It is like a sick game she plays. Everyone knew this but me. I am so angry with myself for being so stupid. I am 56 years old with diabetes, and Carolyn knew how much I needed the insurance. I am amazed at how little help is out there for people like me. I’m trying to forgive, but right now, I can’t. -- Rhonda Dear Rhonda: You will be able to forgive when you are ready to let go of your anger and resentment toward Carolyn. You could not know that she was untrustworthy. Meanwhile, contact your state’s labor department or governor’s office and find out whether they have employment programs

geared toward older women. Also try AARP (aarp.org) and Senior Service America (seniorserviceamerica. org). Dear Annie: Here is another response to “Wondering,” who inquired how to ask

about an inheritance. I wish my parents had spent their money on their dreams. They worked so hard for them. Dad often talks about how much he will be leaving to us “kids.” It makes me sad that he has lived such

a frugal life saving for us. I wish he had taken Mom to Europe like she always dreamed. Someday, when my loving parents are gone, I will make that trip to Europe for them. -- Wishing It Was Visa Versa

Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once.

Annie’s

Carolyn became someone I didn’t know. She is mean, lazy, jealous and never has anything good to say. She spends her workday playing online games, chatting with online friends and taking naps. It didn’t take long to realize that I had made a huge mistake. When I told Carolyn that I was not learning enough on the job, she said, “I don’t want to overwhelm you.” When I went to others to get more work, she’d get angry and would suddenly find the most trivial tasks to keep me busy. And the insults never stopped. She said I only got the job because they were looking for people who were neither young nor attractive. (She should know.) She never missed an opportunity to humiliate or belittle me. It only took one week to hate that job and realize the one I left wasn’t so bad, but there was nothing

Dear Annie: I am a transgendered boy and am having trouble coming out to my family. I wear sports bras and boy’s clothing most of the time, and when I am speaking with my friends, I use male pronouns, but I still can’t gather the courage to tell my family. My mother and I once talked about it briefly, but I got nervous and ended up saying it was no big deal. Now I feel as if I’ve missed my chance and will have to wait a long time before I get another shot at it. Being referred to and appearing as a girl makes me genuinely uncomfortable, but I know nothing is going to change until I tell them. Please help. -Nervous in Vermont Dear Vermont: Your mother likely suspects what is going on and is simply waiting for you to bring up the subject again. While you’re considering that,

Leisure

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Friday, Nov. 23, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be careful that you don’t say anything that you will later regret when talking to authority figures. Guard against knee-jerk reactions and impulsive, rebellious behavior. Don’t quit your day job. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Travel plans might be canceled or rescheduled today. Ditto for schedules with higher education. Be careful when traveling. Equipment breakdowns could affect medicine, publishing and the media. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Disputes about shared property, taxes, debt and insurance matters are likely today. (They won’t be a pretty picture.) Go gently. Avoid sudden outbursts of indignation. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Difficulties with partners and close friends might erupt into an argument today. Keep

your temper in check to avoid saying or doing something you will regret later. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Computer crashes, power outages, canceled meetings and staff shortages are just some of the reasons your day at work will be unpredictable. Machinery breakdowns are likely. (Be careful.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is an accident-prone day for your children, so be very careful. Know where they are at all times. Remove potential hazards. Be vigilant! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Small appliances could break down at home today, or minor breakages could occur. Your home routine definitely will be interrupted. Avoid family disputes. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is an accident-prone day for your sign -- no question. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Slow

down, and give yourself extra wiggle room. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Watch your money and cash flow today. You are very tempted by impulse buying and spontaneous purchases, which you might later regret. Be careful! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You feel restless and rebellious today. Guard against accidents that could hap-

pen because you are hasty or impulsive. Take an extra moment to rethink things and pay attention to what you’re doing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Feelings of restlessness are like an undercurrent to your entire day. This makes it hard to settle down and focus on whatever you want to do. Don’t worry; everyone feels this way today.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A friendship might break up today, or you could have a sudden dispute in a group situation -- classroom, meeting or convention. Because you feel so independent, you don’t want others telling you what to do. YOU BORN TODAY You are free-spirited and independent, which is why you respect the independence of others. You have a great sense of humor

The school board hopes to replace the aging elementary school with a new school soon when the plan is submitted to the Ministry of Education by the end of the

school year. “It’s the school that’s been ranked, or was ranked, that it needed the most work and that it was replaceable. (Christina Lake) is the school that’s in the worst shape,” explained Jeanette Hanlon, secretary-treasurer to the SD51 school board. “The ministry said that it could be up to five years before you get a school replaced.”
