Housing the homeless during the winter months will be a financial challenge this year now that BC Housing has granted a Trail shelter half its previously secured funding. La Nina Extreme Weather Emergency Shelter operated on a budget of $50,000 last year but not this time around, according to Tracy Fischer, a financial manager for Trail Association for Community Living (TACL). C a r e e r Development Services (CDS), governed by TACL, will now operate the shelter in the basement of the United Church on Pine Avenue. The facility opens Nov. 1 and welcomes people in from the cold until the end of March during the hours of 9 p.m. until 8 a.m. But to work within its tight budget, the two employees that man the warm quarters will lock it up if no one shows up by 1 a.m. Taking over the management side of the shelter from the church was a natural progression for the organization that helps individuals with barriers as it already ran a Getting to Home initiative with the help of the Greater Trail Community Skills Centre.

Quiet bear season awaken by bruins in Glenmerry BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

There have been fewer problem bears reported this season but a conservation officer isn't attributing that to people managing their attractants. Ben Beetlestone calls it the quietest season in the 13 years he's been on duty as one of the two conservation officers responsible for a vast area that includes Greater Trail. Only 10 bears have been destroyed so far when on average 60 and up to 90 are generally killed annually. A good huckleberry crop may have helped the bruins gather enough food and kept them out of neighbourhoods, but Beetlestone said there is also a lull across the province

and no one really knows why. Unfortunately, garbage continues to be the biggest issue, one that results in bears eventually being killed. Such is the case in Glenmerry right now, where a bear trap has yet to snatch up to three problem bears. “There's really no excuse for someone now in Glenmerry to have a bear in their garbage because they can just drive down their road and throw their bags into the community dumpster at the city works yard,” he said. “It's not one person causing the problem, there is enough food source in that entire Glenmerry that they don't need to go into the (baited) trap because they can just walk down the street and

get into someone else's stuff.” One of the brown bears spotted has a limp but is otherwise in good heath and mobile. The bears are causing concern because they have become habituated and have caused some property damage in the neighbourhood which houses an elementary school. “Most of the activity has been at night but there comes a time when we have to evaluate that there is too much going on in an area for the bears to leave so it's not fair for you, who've done everything right, to have to be concerned for your safety or your kid's safety because three houses down the road someone is causing the prob-

lem with attractants,” he added. With fewer bears reported, Beetlestone said there has been more time for proactive work. Managing attractants continues to be the chorus sung by educators but should residence not comply, there are other means of dealing with irresponsible residents. Conservation officers have the ability to issue a dangerous wildlife protection order, which would order a resident or business owner to secure or eliminate an attractant. A recent update to the provincial Wildlife Act also allows them to write a ticket for $230 when an individual continues to attract See COUGARS, Page 3

Around 300 people, some driving vintage vehicles, attended Sunday’s ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of the Kootenay Pass. The crowds gathered at the summit to view a display of highway equipment needed to keep the past the pass open year round. Politicians, ministry officials and dignitaries were on hand to cut a ceremonial ribbon followed by a cake-cutting for the crowd. The Kootenay Pass cost $13.6 million when it was completed in October, 1963 and it remains the country’s highest mountain pass.

After 60 years, society still delivers New season kicks off next week By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

There is always a wealth of great music, rhythm and dance in the Charles Bailey Theatre during the Trail Society of the Performing Arts season. The society’s mandate is to bring quality classical performances to the area, and since last year, an incentive to draw in a youthful audience has been in play. Students will be granted free admission when accompanied by an adult to upcoming 2013/14 performances that range from pianists and ballet to African rhythms, pop and jazz.

“This was met with some success last year,” said Theshini Naicker, president of the Trail society. “The series is truly one of the cultural gems in Greater Trail and we hope more students will take advantage of it this year.” The society was formed almost 65 years ago, and Eleanor Harper has been part of art series since its inception. “I moved to Rossland in 1960 and after I had my three babies, I became part of the executive,” said Harper. “I think it has maintained its viability because there is always new people coming along who were exposed to the theatre and concerts when they were children. Now they are com-

ing back as adults.” She maintains that an advantage to living in a smaller community is the up-close-and-personal quality of each performance, an opportunity not available in larger centres. “It’s so much more personal here because you can get involved with the performers,” said Harper. “Everybody is near to the stage and afterwards you can speak to the performers. You certainly wouldn’t

get that anywhere else.” Kicking off the season is Axe Capoeira, a colourful Brazilian music and dance performance Oct. 15. The concert features traditional capoeira music, vocals and instrumentals to showcase capoeiristas (martial artists) and dancers. Fall performances include the Bergmann piano duo Nov. 5, and Christmas in the Baroque Era Dec. 5. Individual tickets are available at the box office, but Harper was one of the first in line for a season pass. “We can see a whole series of concerts for less than you’d pay for one ticket in the city,” said Harper. “Here, we have the best of both worlds.”

Conservation grant program continues

Lots of loot for literacy

By Art Harrison Times Staff

The $900 million Waneta Expansion Project, which began in 2010, is a little over half-way through it’s projected time frame for completion in 2015 and the economic effects of the massive construction project have been felt by many in the Greater Trail area. The Columbia Power Corporation, which manages the project on behalf of its partners, has announced that it will, once again, be sponsoring the environmental enhancement grant program initiated last year. A $50,000 grant is available through the project’s Waneta Terrestrial Compensation Program (WTCP) and applications for the funding are available until Jan. 31. As part of the project commitment to stewardship of the waterways and surrounding land affected by the project, the partners, Fortis Inc., Columbia Power Corporation, and Columbia Basin Trust, initiated the grant program intended to fund projects that promote conservation and restoration through research, physical works, and other projects. The type of projects that may be considered for the grant program include research, species inventories, educational programs, development of management plans, habitat creation, weed control, habitat protection, and land acquisition. For more information on the Expansion project and the WTCP on the web go to columbiapower.org/wanteaexpansion.

Cougars more active this season

FROM PAGE 1 dangerous wildlife to their property and up to $575 when they fail to comply. “We’re just trying to get people to first deal with their attractants because we have to come in there and kill a bear and if there are still attractants around, then there is still going to be more bears,” he explained. “We have to draw that fine line as to when it has become a public safety issue.” When a number of people are causing the problem, judgment and discretion are used to come up with the best solution. Glenmerry is considered one of many travel corridors in Greater Trail with the neighbourhood dividing the hillside to the river. Plus the landfill nearby could further entice wildlife to stroll through. While this has been a slow year for bears in the books, Beetlestone said it has been an active cougar season since low prey numbers have led desperate cats to go after domesticated treats. Reports have slowed down for the time being but he expects an increase in the winter when prey concentrate lower in valley bottoms. “When a bear is in your neighbourhood for garbage and fruit, yes there is a safety issue there for sure,” he said. “But when a cougar is in your neighbourhood, it’s there for you or your pet.” To report a problem animal call RAPP at 1-877-952-7277. ting!

Kootenay Lake trustees say no cash for CUPE wage hike By Kirsten Hildebrand Nelson Star

The Kootenay Lake school district has not been able to find funds to cover wage increases for its CUPE workers — at least not without unwanted impacts on students, board chair Mel Joy says. Trustees discussed the matter — the CUPE bargaining provincial framework savings plan — at a special finance committee meeting Tuesday afternoon in Creston. “While the Ministry [of Education] is asking boards to find the money within our budgets, they had also said there could be no impact on our core services,” Joy said. “Our board stated last night that there was no way we could make reductions in our budget without impacting services to students.” Joy explained staff worked on a savings plan giving con-

sideration to a “broad range of ideas” including reduction in school supply allocations as well as reduction in technology replacement and industrial tech education budgets, for example. After deliberation, the finance committee rejected that plan and the board followed suit. “There were things within that savings plan that we know would impact services to kids,” she said.

With meetings with local CUPE workers scheduled, Joy said she’s not sure what will happen as they come to the table with no money. “If we don’t have an agreement by the time the provincial framework is done, I am not sure what that means,” said Joy. “I don’t know if our CUPE will respond with a strike. It’s ‘wait and see’ at the moment.”

Court upholds ban on assisted-suicide THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - In a split decision, B.C.’s Court of Appeal has reversed a lower court ruling that said Canada’s assisted-suicide ban violated the charter rights of gravely ill Canadians. Two of the three judges ruled that while the law banning assisted suicide has certainly evolved in the last two decades, it hasn’t changed enough to undermine the 1993 decision from Supreme Court of Canada. While there’s no automatic right to take the case to the highest court in civil cases, the issue is widely believed to be headed to the Supreme Court of Canada. The federal government had appealed the decision from the B.C. Supreme Court, which ruled last year that safeguards could be put in place to protect against the risks associated with doctor-assisted dying. Several plaintiffs, including ALS patient Gloria Taylor and the children of Kay Carter, who travelled to Switzerland to seek doctor-assisted suicide in 2010, launched the challenge. Justices Mary Newbury and Mary Saunders agreed in the decision released Thursday that while the law banning assisted suicide has certainly evolved in the last two decades, it hasn’t changed enough to undermine the 1993 decision NOTICE OF VACANCY DOWNTOWN OPPORTUNITIES AND ACTION PLANNING COMMITTEE The Downtown Opportunities and Action Planning Committee serves as an advisory committee providing input to Trail City Council on projects and initiatives aimed at revitalizing the downtown core. Membership on the committee includes a broad cross-section of individuals with a vested interest in the downtown, including seven members from the downtown business community. The City is presently seeking volunteers from the downtown action area to serve on the committee.

from Supreme Court of Canada. When the Supreme Court of Canada last considered the issue of assisted suicide, the judges were split in favour of upholding the current law in a case involving Sue Rodriguez. The federal government had appealed the decision from the B.C. Supreme Court, which ruled last year that safeguards could be put in place to protect against the risks associated with doctor-assisted dying. The case involved several plaintiffs, including ALS patient Gloria Taylor and the family of Kay Taylor, a B.C. woman who travelled to a Swiss clinic in 2010 to seek physician-assisted death. The B.C. Supreme Court suspended its ruling for a year to allow the federal government to respond, but the judge granted Taylor an immediate exemption to seek physician-assisted suicide. Taylor died last fall of a perforated colon, which was unrelated to her ALS. The judge concluded the law must allow physician-assisted suicide and physician-assisted death - also known as voluntary euthanasia - in cases involving patients who are diagnosed with a serious illness or disability and who are experiencing “intolerable” physical or psychological suffering with no chance of improvement. Legal observers have predicted the case is destined for the Supreme Court of Canada, which last considered the issue of physician-assisted suicide in 1993 in a case involving Sue Rodriguez The federal government has argued the 1993 Supreme Court of Canada ruling should be the final word on the matter, noting Parliament has voted several times, mostly recently in 2010, to maintain the status quo. But the calls for a national debate have been mounting in recent years, as opinion polls suggest support for some form of physician-assisted death.

Body of mushroom picker found

THE CANADIAN PRESS TERRACE, B.C. - Search and rescue workers near Terrace have found the body of Devlin Sabo, just days after the friend he was lost with was

found alive. Sabo and Ike Murray went mushroom picking along the Skeena River Sept. 22 but failed to meet up with another man at their boat at a designated time. Police now know the two men became lost on the first day of their ordeal and hunkered down in an area that had been left out of the massive search zone that crews scoured for seven days. The men decided after a week to start hiking out, and Sabo lost the strength to continue. Police say Murray stayed with his friend until he died and then hiked for another two days, finding the railroad tracks where he was discovered by CN maintenance workers. Both the coroner and the Terrace police forensic unit attended the site where Sabo’s body was located, and the matter has been turned over to the coroner.

People Jenn Heil

Olympian raises $1 million for girls’ health and education International Day of the Girl today THE CANADIAN PRESS Caught up in the euphoria of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, moguls skier Jenn Heil blurted out at the conclusion of the Games that she intended to raise $1 million for the Because I am a Girl campaign. Then she took a big gulp. “I think I got very excited and swept away in Vancouver,” Heil said. “Everything felt possible in Vancouver. So I said the million dollars and then I was terrified that I’d put that out there because I had no plan on how to go about it.” But Heil is a woman accustomed to risk as her sport requires her to ski as fast as she can over bumps and jumps. She won Olympic gold in 2006 and silver four years later in Vancouver. Heil has reached her campaign target and is actually closer to $1.1 million, she said. Plan Canada’s Because I am a Girl program operates on the premise that if a girl is nourished and has safe environment and an education, she can raise the standard of living for not only herself and her family, but her community as well. The International Day of the Girl, initiated by the United Nations, is Friday. Heil will be in Ottawa on Thursday to promote an interactive art installation supporting girls’ education globally. The 30-year-old from Spruce Grove, Alta., became an ambassador of the Because I am a Girl program after a 2008 trip to Burkina Faso. Heil met with girls who were the first in their community to go to school. She heard their dreams of becoming doctors and lawyers and even president of the country. “For me, when I was nine years old, I had the dream to be an Olympian,” Heil said Wednesday from her home in Montreal. “As as a Canadian, I received endless opportunity to make that a reality. “They told me they wanted to be citizens of tomorrow. It made me want to try and help create some opportunity for them and for other girls.” Heil’s efforts have helped fund 3,000 school scholarships for girls in Burkina Faso, as well as schools, playgrounds and water facilities there and in other countries. “We often feel we don’t know where to start, there’s so many challenges in this world,” Heil said. “That’s true, but in terms of girls’ education, a little goes a long way.” Heil went into the 2010 Winter Games with enormous pressure on her shoulders as the defending Olympic champion. She competed on the first day of the Games at Cypress Mountain and took silver. On the day of the closing ceremony, Heil announced she would kick off her fundraising campaign with $25,000 of her own money. “I knew if I won a medal that it would be an opportunity to have a larger impact and to make a bigger difference,” Heil said.

Alice Munro

Humble Canadian author wins Nobel THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Book lovers around the globe celebrated Alice Munro’s spare, elegant prose on Thursday when the Ontarioborn author won the Nobel Prize for literature, but the reclusive short story writer was typically succinct and humble in her reaction to the honour, calling it “quite wonderful.” “At this moment I can’t believe it. It’s really very wonderful,” Munro told The Canadian Press in a telephone interview from Victoria just moments after the announcement was made in Stockholm. “I knew I was in the running, yes, but I never thought I would win.” She added that she was delighted and “just terribly surprised.” In making the announcement, the Swedish Academy lauded the 82-yearold as a “master of the contemporary short story.” Munro becomes the 110th Nobel laureate in literature and only the 13th woman to receive the distinction. Soon after the news broke, media outlets around the world began clamouring to speak with the mediashy Munro. The author granted only a handful of interviews before her publisher, Random House of Canada, issued a statement saying she was “dazed by all the attention and affection” and would be saying nothing further. Photographers, meanwhile, were asked to leave the hotel where Munro was staying, apparently at the request of the author. Regarded as the world’s highest literary honour, the Nobel puts Munro in the company of great wordsmiths including George Bernard Shaw, Ernest Hemingway, Herman Hesse, T.S. Eliot and Toni

Morrison. Canadianborn, American-raised writer Saul Bellow won in 1976.

“I knew I was in the running, yes, but I never thought I’d win.” Alice Munro

While the esteemed prize is certainly the highest peak of the literary award landscape, Munro is no stranger to accolades. She has previously won the Man Booker International Prize for her entire body of work, as well as two Scotiabank Giller Prizes (for 1998’s “The Love of a Good Woman” and 2004’s “Runaway”), three Governor General’s Literary Awards (for her 1968 debut “Dance of the Happy Shades,” 1978’s “Who Do You Think You Are?” and 1986’s “The Progress of Love”), the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize, the

inaugural Marian Engel Award and the American National Book Critics Circle Award. When she won the Man Booker International in 2009, prize judge chair Jane Smiley noted that: “the surface of Alice Munro’s works, its simplicity and quiet appearance, is a deceptive thing, that beneath that surface is a store of insight, a body of observation, and a world of wisdom that is close to addictive.” She had been considered a perennial contender for the Nobel, with Britishbased betting company Ladbrokes positioning her as the secondmost likely recipient this year behind Japanese master Haruki Murakami. The prize money is roughly C$1.3 million. The award will no doubt introduce legions of new readers to Munro’s exquisite portraits of quiet moments and smalltown life. Reaction to those who have been touched

by her work was swift and rapturous. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne cited Munro’s “Lives of Girls and Women” as a favourite, adding she is “part of a lucky population who has been forever changed by (Munro’s) unparalleled ability to articulate the complexity and heartbreaks of everyday life.” McClelland and Stewart publisher Ellen Seligman called the Nobel a “momentous day for Canada and Canadian writing, and a thrilling honour in recognition of the extraordinary and enduring talent of Alice Munro, one of the great writers of our time.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper congratulated Munro. “Canadians are enormously proud of this remarkable

accomplishment, which is the culmination of a lifetime of brilliant writing,” he said in a statement. “Ms. Munro is a giant in Canadian literature and this Nobel Prize further solidifies Canada’s place among the ranks of countries with the best writers in the world.” Said NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair: “Munro’s richly evocative short stories have helped tell Canada’s story - both to Canadians and to others around the world.” The author’s recent works include the 2009 collection “Too Much Happiness,” which was nominated for the Governor General’s Literary Award and a Writers’ Trust Award, and 2012’s “Dear Life,” which won Munro her third Trillium Book Award.

Municipal anti-bullying laws inherently flawed

ne of the easiest ways for a municipal politician to keep his constituents happy is to give them what they want. Sometimes this means enacting popular yet dubious bylaws. Perhaps this is the impetus behind the Town of Airdrie’s push to amend its Public Behaviour Bylaw to prohibit bullying. After all, nearly everyone will rally behind politicians who enact laws to protect children from harm, regardless of those laws’ faults. And Airdrie is not alone. Many other municipal governments in Alberta have already enacted similar bylaws. For instance, Consort, Grand Prairie, Hanna, and Rocky Mountain House each already prohibit bullying. Oyen’s Town Council has discussed it. There are likely many others. Each of these bylaws is similar. Bullying will not be tolerated at any place in town to which the public has access. In some municipalities, bullies can be fined up to $1,000 plus costs, and be imprisoned

for six months on default of payment. These are significant penalties. Regardless of their goal, each of these bylaws is flawed. They are redundant and viciously subjective, they make some acts illegal that they shouldn’t, and they are outside of the jurisdiction of any Alberta municipality. Consort’s bylaw considers “harassment of others by the real or threatened infliction of physical violence and attacks” and the “extortion or stealing of money and possessions” as bullying. But harassment, extortion, and theft are already illegal. How will enacting yet another law solve the problem when there’s an apparent lack of will to enforce current laws? Grand Prairie’s bylaw defines bullying as an “objectionable or inappropriate comment, conduct or display” directed at an individual “which causes or is likely to cause physical or emotional distress”. Simply put, this is vague and hopelessly subjective. By relying on words like “objection-

able” and “inappropriate” and requiring those enforcing the law to find the line between behaviours that are likely to cause emotional distress and those that are not, this bylaw will inevitably function as a proxy for the personal views of those enforcing it. This could easily make all sorts of otherwise excusable behaviours illegal. For example, a fine could be issued for a single hurtful comment uttered in anger even though “bullying” is generally understood to mean repeated hurtful behaviour. Rocky Mountain House’s bylaw, like the others, applies in all locations to

which the public has access to, including schools, public parks, recreational facilities, and even sports grounds. Don’t taunt the umpire at a baseball game in Grand Prairie – even in jest – because if it could be construed as likely to cause emotional distress and you could be fined for single offhanded remark. And while in Hanna, it’s best to avoid verbally taunting your opponents if you are playing in the game. At their core, these bullying bans are unadulterated attempts to restrict freedom of expression and are therefore outside of municipal jurisdiction. Alberta’s Municipal Government Act lists three municipal purposes, none of which grants municipalities the power to enact laws for the sole purpose of restricting expression. Further, the Province of Alberta cannot delegate to municipalities the authority to restrict expression. Under the Constitution Act, 1867, provincial laws may only incidentally restrict expression provided those laws are otherwise within

provincial jurisdiction. But it’s not all bad. There is some good in these bylaws. Each demonstrates that bullying is not acceptable and should not be tolerated, and issuing fines may be a quick and efficient means to curb hurtful behaviour. And to be clear, no one endorses or excuses real bullying. It can have devastating and lasting effects, particularly on children. Regardless, the flaws in these bylaws cannot be ignored. Each needlessly duplicate other laws, some make excusable and nonreoccurring acts illegal, and all overstep municipal and constitutional authority. Think of the problem this way. What these bylaws do – they should not. What they should do – they cannot. Relying on bad laws to prevent bullying is similar to believing that two wrongs somehow make a right.

June it was almost 1,000, and by now some of them were Sunnis killed by Shia counterterrorists. July, August and September have each brought about a thousand more victims. This is heading back towards a civil war on the scale of what happened in Iraq in 2006-2007, under the American occupation, when some 3,000 people were being killed each month, and the government is doing nothing effective to stop it. But then, the government does nothing effective. The Iraq government gets $100 billion a year in oil revenue, but nothing gets built or maintained or repaired. Most people live in poverty, while the bulk of the oil income goes on salaries for government employees, a large majority of whom either don’t show up for work at all, or fail to do any useful work when they get there. The rest of the money is simply stolen by the government’s own senior officials. The fake bomb detectors are part of that vast haemorrhage of cash, and one possible reason that they have not been replaced yet is that some people will obviously make a lot of money out of the contract for whatever replaces them. Until the question of which group of people in the government will strike it rich has been decided, nothing will be done. The soldiers and police using them in the streets don’t mind. If they should find a bomb in a car, the suicide bomber driving it will almost detonate the explosives and kill them. So a bomb detector that doesn’t detect bombs is just fine with them. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Stop splashing our cash around An editorial from the Summerside Journal-Pioneer While the calls to abolish the Senate continue, there are at least two senators who are attempting to restore our faith in the Upper Chamber. Conservative Senators Doug Black and Bob Runciman are putting all of their Senaterelated expenditures out there for all to see. Runciman told the media Monday, “The fact that we are appointed and not elected, we should set the gold standard in terms of transparency and in reporting how we’re using taxpayers’ dollars.” He started posting his expenses on his own website following the lead of Senator Doug Black. It didn’t take Black long to get started. He began posting expenses on his website in January, the same month he was appointed to the Senate. MPs and senators do have to

spend money on travel, accommodations and eating when they’re away from home on government business, but since they are spending our money, they should all be posting these expenses publicly, like Black and Runciman and Green Party leader Elizabeth May. Then we can determine whether or not our money is being put to good use or if it’s a rort on the public purse. It doesn’t have to be a complicated process. Just post them on their websites like these three do. There’s way too many taxpayer dollars being gobbled up by the government representative snouts at the trough, too many who are too carefree with the government credit cards. Every time we catch a glimpse of just how much is being spent, the numbers are astounding. Last week a story in the Journal Pioneer revealed that the four Island MPs spent

more than $1.6 million last year. Cardigan MP Lawrence MacAulay alone spent close to half a million dollars in one year - way more than the other three. In travel expenses he racked up $134,184 for himself and others (no indication of who those others are) - almost twice as much as the representative on government, Gail Shea, spent on travel. Bad enough that we’re paying for government representatives to travel around and stay and eat in Ottawa or elsewhere, there’s a lot of money being spent on these “others” such as family members. Last year, taxpayers spent $2.2 million flying MPs’ spouses and $554,000 flying their children around the country, according to the annual MP expense report. The buck’s got to stop here. Actually the bucks have got to stop flying out of our senators’ and MPs’ pockets.

Giving Thanks The autumn season always makes me very nostalgic. I think of my childhood in Cape Breton. For some reason when I reminisce about those times I always remember this season. The trees were so beautiful with the leaves of yellow, red and orange, some had already fallen. I would come home from school and open the door and the smells of supper would greet me. My Mom was there so all was right with the world, then it was outside again to play with the neighbourhood kids. The air was cooler and oh the fun of playing in all those leaves. Those days are so far away now, much has changed. My parents passed away a long time ago; I am living at the other end of the country. We will celebrate Thanksgiving on Monday and I am reminded I need to be so thankful for God’s faithfulness to me. Those years I have talked about were wonderful, I am so grateful for them. But life brings so much to us; there have been very difficult days along the way, days of sorrow and anguish and pain. No one knows what others have had to deal with in their lives. I always think of that verse in 1 Thessalonians 5:18: “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” It does not say to be thankful for all things but we can have that attitude of gratitude. We can give thanks to God for His love for us. He showed this love for us when Christ came to be our Saviour. I was reading again about the parable of the Prodigal Son, I love that account in Scripture. The author said one day he realized in reading it that the son came home to the father because he knew he had not changed, his love was still the same for his lost son. The father in the story is God our Heavenly Father and He does not change, His love for us is always the same. How much we thank Him for His great love to us. In love He freely gives to us His grace and mercy and forgiveness. If we are honest there are times we say “God I don’t feel very thankful because of what is happening in my life.” We don’t have to feel thankful but we can be thankful, there is a difference. God already knows our hearts and what we are struggling with. On this Thanksgiving Day again remember the words of Scripture. 1Thessalonians 5:18 “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will in Christ Jesus concerning you” Major Heather Harbin The Salvation Army

Gratitude begins with being thankful

alloween seems to have outstripped Thanksgiving in popularity. That was my observation when I went shopping for some Thanksgiving themed items a few weeks ago. While I could have purchased all kinds of ghoulish merchandise, I had trouble finding cocktail napkins with an autumn motif; I might have even settled for a tacky package of Tom Turkey napkins if any had been available. I have nothing against Halloween. I have always liked it, and I never could buy into the belief that the celebration of Halloween opened us up to evil. Little kids dressing up and collecting candy is louise just plain, good fun, and there is nothing inherently wrong in Everyday Theology costume parties. It makes me wonder, though, about our priorities when the focus on Halloween overshadows Thanksgiving. Has the practice of being thankful fallen out of favor? I have a very simple practice that reminds me to be thankful on a daily basis. Before meals, my husband and I say grace. We both learned the same prayer as children, and we taught it to our own children. We can rattle it off, and sometimes, I admit, it is more pro forma than mindful. Occasionally, as I am about to take that first bite, I suddenly ask, “Did we say grace?” Still, the habit reminds me to express thanks to God. While my practice of saying grace is theistic, a member of our family has a different way of expressing thankfulness that may or may not be theistic, depending on an individual’s beliefs. When we dine at this person’s home, we each take a turn to express gratefulness for something about our day. I like this way of being thankful because it includes everyone around the table. No one is forced to sit politely and awkwardly while others pray, and everyone, regardless of the quality of their day, can think of at least one reason for gratitude. Equally important to me, this little ritual of thanksgiving requires intentionality: it forces me to scroll back upon the day and consider the good things in my life. It increases my appreciation for those things that I might otherwise take for granted, and it refocuses my attention on the things that truly matter. Gratitude does not stop at simply saying “thanks” for something that has made us happy on any given day. Gratitude helps us to ‘get over our self’ and encourages a ‘pay it forward’ attitude. Grateful for the good gifts we have received, we want to reflect goodness back to others. Whether we practice gratitude in a religious context or not, gratitude reflects a fundamental option for living that is directed outward. A shopping excursion to buy some napkins led me to a casual observation, and prompted me to wonder if we have indeed become an ungrateful lot. The feelings of happiness that we derive from external events, like receiving a gift, purchasing something new, being praised for an accomplishment, or even celebrating Halloween, are pleasurable and sweet, but they are not gratitude. Gratitude is a lingering disposition of the heart that delights in relationships, in the natural world, and in the consciousness that there is more to life than meets the eye.

THE CANADIAN PRESS Health Canada offers the following steps for home cooks to help ensure their turkey feast is a safe one: - Health Canada discourages thawing your turkey at room temperature. It’s better to thaw turkey in the refrigerator or in cold water. - If you thaw your turkey in cold water, keep the turkey in its original wrapping and change the water regularly to ensure the water remains cold. - Don’t rinse raw turkey. This can spread bacteria everywhere the water splashes, creating a safety hazard. - Wash hands carefully with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling raw poultry and clean and disinfect surfaces and kitchen utensils touched by raw or thawing turkey and its juices. - Use a digital food

thermometer and cook turkey until the temperature of the thickest part of the breast or thigh is at least 85 C (185 F). - Cook stuffing separately in its own oven dish or on the stovetop. If you stuff your

turkey, place loosely in the cavity just prior to roasting, and remove all stuffing immediately after cooking. - Refrigerate leftovers within two hours of cooking. Use leftover turkey meat, stuffing, gravy and

other cooked dishes within two to three days or freeze immediately for later use. - Foods such as fully cooked turkey and potatoes can be eaten cold. Gravy should be reheated to reach a full rolling boil.

Nitehawks get unexpected boost Calvin returns to B.V. BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks received an unexpected but welcome boost to its lineup just in time for weekend games against the top teams in the Kootenay and OkanaganShushwap Conferences. Trail native Dallas Calvin acquired a release from the BCHL’s Vernon Vipers and will join the Nitehawks when they face off against the Nelson Leafs in Nelson tonight and make his season debut at home Saturday against the North Okanagan Knights. “Some things were not working out over there, and I decided I needed a change so I’m back here now,” said Calvin. Calvin had been playing well for the Vipers netting a goal and five assists in nine games, seeing action on the power play, and playing on a line with Viper leading pointgetter Mason Blacklock and Craig Martin, that is until Martin was traded to Alberni Valley early last week. While the trade was disappointing, Calvin says it had little to do with his decision to return to Trail. “It’s all in the game, and it’s nothing personal between the coach (Jason Williamson) and Craig, I mean it sucks to see one of your good buddies go, but that didn’t really have any part in my decision to come back.” Asked if the talented 19-year-old forward would consider a stint with the Trail Smoke Eaters, Calvin said that out of respect, he had assured Williamson he wouldn’t play for another BCHL team in case he decided to return to the Vipers. It was a moot point, in any case, as Smoke Eaters coach Bill Birks was noncommittal about the possibility. “That’s totally up to Dallas,” said Birks. “He was given that opportunity, as well as a couple other guys out in Beaver Valley with the Nitehawks, but if things don’t

He brings loads of talent and playmaking ability, giving the Hawks more scoring depth and a number of options on the power play. “I’m excited,” said Calvin. “It’s a great place to play, I’ve been there the last three years and I know what to expect, it’s a good team this year, should be fun and exciting, and I think we should do pretty well.” The transition should be minimal for Calvin, who rejoins a raft of returning veterans including Ryan Edwards, Taylor Stafford, Archie

McKinnon, and Michael Bell. “There’s lots of good players, and lots of guys to work with, lots of room to get better, and I’m excited to be part of it.” The Nitehawks play Nelson for the first time in the regular season and after dropping two pre-season games to the Leafs, 8-2 and 3-0, the Hawks are expecting a spirited match. “It’s going to be a great challenge for us and we don’t look ahead to Saturday too much, but on Friday the game in Nelson will be tough, and we have to be at our best for sure,” said Nitehawk coach and GM Terry Jones. With Calvin in the lineup, the Hawks should enjoy a more balanced attack from an offence that has relied heavily on the line of Edwards, Stafford, and Bell. “We are really excited to

have him, he’s a great kid, and we’re just excited that he’s comfortable and happy and wants to play for us,” said Jones. Nelson is on a roll, with the only blemish on their record a 2-2 tie in Columbia Valley last weekend. As expected, the undefeated Leafs are led by Trail native Jamie Vlanich and Travis Wellman, both acquired from the Castlegar Rebels in June. The former Rebels sit one-two in scoring for the Leafs, while Vlanich’s 19 points on six goals and 13 assists is second most in the KIJHL. The Nitehawks are coming off their only loss of the season Saturday, a 4-1 beating at the paws of the Osoyoos Coyotes, a team that also handed the Knights their only loss in regulation, a 10-2 evisceration last week.

A former Pride Gym fighter has taken a giant leap forward in his Mixed Martial Arts career with a convincing victory at Glory 10 at Citizens Bank Arena in Los Angeles last month. On one of the biggest of MMA stages, Muay Thai fighter Charles Bisset faced a daunting and towering foe in six-foot-five-inch Matt Baker, but in the end Bisset pulled out a three-round unanimous decision victory to take the Sept. 28 undercard. “It was amazing,” said Bisset who had been seriously ill leading up to the fight. “I fought a super-tall guy, the tallest guy I ever fought, so it made for an interesting fight.” Bisset was unable to train and barely made the weigh-in after battling a bad body flu all week. The Retalick native was in bed for six days prior to weigh-in and he was so sick he was worried about his endurance and power during the fight, but never once considered cancelling. “I know what it’s like when people back out and I’ve never done it to anybody, so I kind of fight by the sword and die by the sword.” And with MMA legend Rob Kaman, Andrew Mannart, and training partner Andrew Hager in his corner, the 26-year-old changed his strategy and relied on a stripped down more technical version of his assault. “I was super happy with my performance after watching the tape,” said Bisset. “It was really technical, got in there made it a little bit dirty, it was a good fight.” Bisset rocked Baker a few times with his punches and, characteristic of his Dutch style, connected consistently with low kicks, but rather than press for the knockout, he retreated and stayed conservative in his output. “I didn’t throw as much volume,” said Bisset. “The thing I was concerned about is that I didn’t train for literally six days, and I was a little concerned about my gas, which I wished I would have pushed it because I was totally fine, my endurance was fine after.” The series of Glory tournaments are held all over the globe and feature the best MMA fighters in the world. The big-venue exposure for undercard fighters like Bisset can only aid an already impressive career. “It was great exposure . . . it’s the biggest kickboxing promotion in the world. There were people I looked up to as a kid that were fighting on this show, it was amazing to be around.” Bisset’s record goes to 17-4, and includes a National Muay Thai Canadian title, the North American Muay Thai championship, and most recently the World Kickboxing Association’s cruiser weight title which he won in Medicine Hat last April against British and European champion David Wright. Coach Kaman was pleased with the result considering the circumstances, and told Youtube interviewer Marcus Kowal that the former Pride Gym fighter has unlimited potential. “He is another legend, if he listens and does what he has to in the ring,” said Kaman. “It’s a step up for him to be in a big arena, lots of pressure. He did good, not great, but good, we just need to step it up . . . He has everything it just has to come out.” Bisset continues to balance an acting career with a busy training and fighting schedule, but no matter what he is always sure to acknowledge his start at Trail’s Pride Gym.

Another challenging week for Smokies

he outlook is less than rosy for the Smoke Eaters, and they have a tough stretch, mostly at home, to manoeuvre to DAVE get back on the path to success. S t a r t i n g Sports ‘n’ Things tonight they enter a stretch of home games, which hasn’t been a good sign so far this season - and that stretch includes two of the top coast/mainland teams - and then hit the road to end October, a trip that will include a rematch with Sunday opponent Powell River, the BCHL’s highest ranked team at the moment. Poor play early and some bad puck luck late limited Trail’s results to one point against Alberni Valley, theoretically the weakest visitor on the October schedule, they never seemed in it against Merritt, and the opposition gets stronger from here on out. It’s a new team, but it is past time the Smoke Eaters acted as if they at least recognized their linemates in their own zone. Forechecking seems to baffle them and they often don’t seem to have good ideas about how to move the puck forward. On the brighter side, Trail sometimes shows flashes of skill and its goaltending is usually steady. It isn’t early anymore, however, so improvement has to happen quickly. Nobody in their division seems likely to fade away, so finishing in a playoff spot needs to start soon. One wonders how it is possible a team with the second-ranked special teams in the entire league - second best power play and third best penalty kill - cannot get it together six on six often enough to stay in games in their own building. New week, new opponents, new hope, especially if the Smokies put up a good fight last night. Playing well (and scoring) early will be key for Trail. • Meanwhile, some local sports figures are having success. Thea Culley helped lead the Canadian team to the podium over several much more highly ranked hockey teams in international play recently and Corey Worral has a singular achievement to add to his resume. And, Alice Munro, whose work almost all Canadian post-secondary students must at least browse, has vindicated all those who assign it by winning the Nobel Prize in Literature for her life’s work. Those are some things to smile about while we make are way around/through the downtown mess.

FROM PAGE 10 “I want to give Glen (Kalesniko) a lot of credit too. He has one of the best gyms in Canada and Trail and the Kootenays are lucky to have him. ” Bisset, who also picked up a sponsorship from Sammy Hagar’s Beach Bar Rum, will next fight 49-boutveteran Danny “Boy” Bennett in November in Olympia, Wash. and

will be streamed on GFL tv. Glory 10 was a middle-weight tournament that saw hometown favourite Joe Schilling defeat number-one world ranked Russian Artem Levin in an extra round for the $150,000 grand prize. Bisset dedicated the fight to his Uncle James who had passed away just weeks before the fight.

The figure is slightly higher than the largest Moose caught in Alaska-Yukon with a score of 261 5/8. Naef, who has been hunting for 30 years, made the kill on Sept. 25. He says the creature weighed nearly 700 kilograms and it took his entire hunting party of eight people to bring it out of the bush. Officials from the U.S.-based ranking system Boone and Crockett will travel to Dawson City in a few weeks to officially measure the moose and determine if it is indeed a world record.

Canada has won four gold medals in six tries at the tournament, while never finishing worse than silver. “We are excited about getting back to game action in Toronto,” said Trail native Mike Mondin, head coach of Canada’s National Sledge Team. “The World Sledge Hockey Challenge is one of the biggest events in our sport, and it’s sure to be a great week on the road to the Paralympics.”

Lions’ ground attack, which included running back Andrew Harris carrying just six times for 10 yards in a 31-17 home loss to the Saskatchewan Roughrider last week. “I’m not blaming the (running backs). All I know is we have to get better,” said Buono. “When you look at where we’re at in our running game, blame all of us. Blame the organization, blame the coaches, blame the players. “Everyone has a part to play to be a

successful running team.” The Lions have not had a 100-yard rusher since July 30, when Harris gained 107 yards in a 38-12 road loss to the Toronto Argonauts - a span of nine games. Since then, the Winnipeg native has rushed for 10 yards twice and also put up totals of 19, 27 and 38. The Lions face the Calgary Stampeders tonight and CFL leading rusher Jon Cornish from New Westminster.

reimburse me. They sold the place a year ago, and now they have the nerve to say that I gave them the money as a “gift.” I did no such thing. What now? -- J.D. Dear J.D.: You need to talk to a lawyer. Your parents undoubtedly requested guardianship in order to protect you at a time when you were going through some difficulties. And it’s also possible they expended a great deal of money on your care and rehab and felt that taking the settlement money was somehow justified. The judge who issued the guardianship can be asked to remove it. But in order

to your daughter and assure her that no one will take her mother’s place in your heart, but you miss the companionship and warmth that another person can provide. Explain that it is unfair of her to expect you to remain alone for the rest of your life, and you hope she will someday be happy for you if you find love again. Dear Annie: After reading the letter from “Broken” about her husband’s affair with his father’s hospice nurse, my hair is on fire! I am a licensed clinical social worker by profession and have been CEO of a large regional hospice for 27 years. In hospice, both the patient and family are one unit of care. Professional boundaries are important. This work is emotional and intimate by its nature. But sexual or personal relationships are never appropriate. Patients and families

are in a vulnerable position. The supervision of that nurse and her ethical standards are absolutely unacceptable. “Broken” should ask for the administrator of that hospice program and make a formal complaint. If she does

not get a response or resolution, she should make a complaint to the agency in her state that licenses and regulates hospice providers. She would be doing others a favor by not allowing this kind of behavior to continue. Any hospice that allows

such a situation to continue unchecked should not be able to care for patients and their families. -- I Am Appalled Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
