Village addresses wildlife and zoning BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
SHERI REGNIER PHOTO
Teck Trail Operations began work on a temporary pumping station at the boat launch near Gyro Park this week. The project is part of the company’s ongoing work dealing with historical water contamination, and an interim step until the full measure of Teck’s remediation plan to remove and treat affected groundwater comes into effect.
In response to a growing number of bear sightings and a delegation to Montrose council earlier this year, councillors officially enacted the village’s “Waste Management and Wildlife Attractant Bylaw” during the Monday night meeting. “We had such a bear issue last year that we had to get something on paper,” said Coun. Mary Gay. “People seem to forget and put their garbage out the night before pick up which attracts bears and other wildlife from miles away.” After a dozen bear sightings in the Montrose community in 2012, and numerous phone calls to the village hall and conservation officer, staff began researching existing B.C. municipal bear bylaws to determine a direction that was suitable for Montrose. “I like the way this bylaw reads now because it includes all wildlife and makes everyone in the village responsible to put away their attractants,” added Gay. The bylaw specifies durable garbage containers and garbage bags, not to exceed 20 kilograms, cannot be placed curbside before 4:30 a.m., but must be readily accessible by 7:30 a.m. on the day designated by the village for garbage collection. In addition, all refuse must be
contained, tied, or otherwise sealed to prevent spillage or entry of water. If garbage is strewn or scattered by animals, it is the responsibility of the owner or occupier of the property to clean it up in a timely manner. Violation of bylaw provisions could have offenders paying up to $2,000 for infractions plus additional costs related to the fine. The list of attractants, defined as any substance which could reasonably be expected to attract wildlife, or does attract wildlife, includes but is not limited to, household refuse, kitchen waste, beverage containers, barbeque grills, pet food, diapers, oil and other petroleum and chemical products. “We are just trying to bring our bylaws in line with everybody else’s,” concluded Coun. Cindy Cook. Further housekeeping duties during the meeting included the enactment of the official community plan amendment bylaw which allows council to consider temporary use permits in all village zones. “If somebody wanted to start a business in their home, they have to apply for a temporary use permit,” explained acting Mayor Don Berriault.

Final round for public input on river treaty Local meeting set for tonight at Castlegar’s Sandman Inn BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
As Canada and the United States move closer to making recommendations on the future of the Columbia River Treaty (CRT), Basin residents have one last opportunity to express opinions, ideas and concerns before the review team presents its final draft to the province. “More news is coming from the U.S., for example in the way of American editorials,” said Matt Gordon, spokesperson for the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas. “We’re asking the public to review
and provide further comments to ensure Basin residents are having their say on the future of the Columbia River Treaty.” The CRT is a trans-boundary agreement signed between Canada and the U.S. in 1961, and ratified in 1964 to develop and operate dams in the upper Columbia River basin for power and flood control benefits to both countries. Either country can unilaterally terminate most of the CRT provisions after Sept. 16, 2024, provided that at least 10 years notice is given (September 2014). A public meeting was held in Jaffray Monday, followed by a session in Golden Tuesday, Nakusp today, Castlegar on Thursday (6:30-9 p.m. at the Sandman
Inn) and Valemount, Nov. 14. To clarify a previous story, “Americans seek changes to Columbia River Treaty,” (Trail Times Oct. 6), British Columbia pre-sold the first 30 years of the Canadian Entitlement for a lump sum of US$254 million in 1964, according to a treaty review available at gov.bc.ca. That payment was used to finance the construction of the Duncan Dam in 1967, Arrow/Hugh Keenleyside, 1968, and the Mica Dam in 1973. The Canadian Entitlement refers to Canada’s half share of the additional power generated in the U.S. as a results of the dams, or downstream power benefits. Since 1963, those benefits are owned

by the province under the Canada-British Columbia Agreement. Further, the Canadian Entitlement is only a calculated amount developed five years in advance, and not based on the actual operation of the entire hydropower system. Specifically, the CRT identifies how the three dams will be operated to optimize flood control, and power production in both countries. In the last decade, proceeds from the Canadian Entitlement have gone into the province’s consolidated revenue fund, and dispersed into areas such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

oday, I will take a break from the beginner bridge columns and discuss a hand I gave to my Tuesday night workshop in Warfield. It did not occur to me when I made the hands that West would ever try to preempt. One never pre-empts with a five-loser hand. Opposite certain minimum openings from partner, this will make slam. Hardly worth a pre-empt! Furthermore, one never pre-empts with a two-suited hand or a hand that makes game opposite a minimum opener from partner. In addition, one normally does not think of game when partner makes a weak two bid and one only has 12 to 14 points. West passes. North is too flat to pre-empt and a weak two in clubs is not available. The suit is fine in quality, but with a six card club suit,
one should be a little more distributional to open three clubs. This is a third seat preempt only. South has a strong two club opener. This is one of the few cases, North elects not to use two diamond as a waiting bid. Instead he makes a positive response in clubs. A positive response shows two of the top three honours and a six-card minor without exception. Exceptions are common to bridge rules, but not here. A positive response in a major shows a fivecard suit. North later supports spades, so South knows North has six clubs and three spades, so he has at most four red cards. South asks for aces and North has one. South bids seven spades. Lead: Should West lead his singleton club? No! The contract is seven spades. West has no trump, and his

partner will never be able to get in to give him a ruff. Singleton leads are nice when they work, but they become riskier the weaker partner is. Even if West had a trump he should never get his ruff because declarer is in seven. It would be better to lead a long unbid suit and hope partner can ruff that. The play: Is there a finesse or ruffing finesse possible in clubs? A ruffing finesse is possible. Should you try it? No. One should ruff the two losers. That was the plan when you bid the grand. One did not need to ask for kings, but it is a good habit to get into when you have all the aces and king and queen of trump. Cash AK of hearts and diamonds before ruffing. When declarer can see one singleton, there is a 68% chance the other three hands have a singleton (better than a finesse which is 50%). Distributional hands in declarer’s hand or dummy often create distribution in an opponent’s hand. I call this distribution echoes. So it is not unlikely that someone could have a doubleton diamond and a doubleton heart. One should play safely. The result: Seven spades makes seven for +1510. Nice grand! Note: What happens
if West interferes with the bidding? How much do the opponents get for five hearts by West doubled? Hint: With a forcing defense, down three is not even close to the correct answer. Answer: In five hearts doubled, West must ruff the spade opening lead and lose the king of trump. He loses the ace of clubs and must overruff the ruff of the king of clubs. He now loses the ace of trump and must ruff another spade. Declarer now has only one trump left and must kick out the ace and king of diamonds. Declarer will only win four trump and one diamond, down six vulnerable for -1700 (200, 500, 800, 1100, 1400, 1700).

Gardeners and golfers had almost ideal conditions throughout October because the month was one of the driest on record with plenty of sunshine. “October was remarkably dry, but other than a lot of great outdoor weather, no other records were broken,” said weather forecaster, Chris Cowan, from the Southeast Fire Centre. Monthly statistics provided by the Centre’s weather services in Castlegar show the region received 7.4 millimetres of rain in October, which is 15 per cent of the average 48 mm. The month was the fourth driest on record with most of the rain falling during a brief band of afternoon showers on Oct. 7 and an evening downpour of 2.6 mm on Oct. 26, said Ron Lakeman, the Centre’s forecaster in his month end report. Lakeman noted that past dry Octobers were in 2002, 1987, and 1974, with 2.2 mm, 5 mm, and 3.8 mm of precipation respectively. Although the mean monthly temperature was close to normal, a high pressure system during the first week of the month brought sunshine and the warmest temperature, 20.7 C on Oct. 6., but well short of the record high of 27.2 in 1980. The month ended on a cool note with the coolest temperature of October recorded on Oct. 30 when it dipped to -4.6 C. An upper level flow brought a significant drop in temperature and approximately 30 centimetres of snow on the mountains between Saturday and Sunday, explained Cowan. “That was a strong disturbance that changed the weather from what we had to what is on the way,” he said. The first week of November will see chilly temperatures, on the cold side of normal, with an increased chance of rain or snow by Thursday, continued Cowan.

B.C., Alberta premiers agree to talks on pipeline

Instead,

Redford suggested their announcement brings the provinces closer to an ultimate agreement on the pipeline. “After all of the discussions that we’ve had, to be able to take

It has faced opposition on a number of fronts.
Penticton
Former mayor pays for byelection
THE CANADIAN PRESS PENTICTON, B.C. - Former Penticton mayor Dan Ashton’s leap to provincial politics has cost him a lot of money, but it’s a bill he says his conscience forced him to pay. Ashton handed a $32,000 cheque to his former council on Monday, reimbursing it for the cost of a byelection needed to fill the mayor’s chair after he stepped down. Ashton was elected as the MLA for Penticton in the May provincial election and when he announced his bid for the seat, he also pledged to reimburse taxpayers for the municipal byelection, if he won. Ashton served as Penticton’s mayor from 2008 to 2013 and is one of several municipal politicians recently elected to the legislature, but he is the only one to pick up the tab for the resulting byelection. In presenting the cheque, Ashton said his conscience would not allow him to impose a large bill on Penticton residents, whom he has represented as a councillor or mayor since 1999. Mayor Gary Litke succeeded Ashton in the byelection held Sept. 7.

Toronto mayor makes stunning drug admission THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The embattled mayor of Canada’s largest city performed a stunning about-face Tuesday, saying he had smoked crack cocaine after months of staunchly denying he used the drug. “Yes! I’ve smoked crack cocaine!” said Mayor Rob Ford. “Am I (an) addict? No. Have I tried it? Probably in one of my drunken stupors.” In the shocking admission which reversed his earlier statements, the Toronto mayor said he tried the drug about a year ago, while he was in office. Ford has been under intense scrutiny
since May, when two media outlets reported the existence of a video that they said appeared to show the mayor smoking crack. Until Tuesday, when repeatedly asked if he smoked crack, Ford defiantly denied he used the drug and suggested the video did not exist. “Yes, I’ve made mistakes, all I can do now is apologize and move on,” the mayor said. “There’s been times when I’ve been in a drunken stupor. That’s why I want to see the tape. I want everyone in the city to see this tape.” Ford’s backtracking had many shaking their heads, but the mayor insisted
Tuesday that he had been truthful. “I wasn’t lying,” he told reporters. “You didn’t ask the correct questions. No, I’m not an addict and no I do not do drugs.” Last week, Toronto’s police chief made a jawdropping announcement that authorities had recovered a video of the mayor with images that corresponded with media reports about him appearing to smoke crack cocaine. Ford responded by calling on police to release the tape and repeated his longheard refrain about not using crack. On Tuesday, Ford once again called for the alleged video be
released so everyone could judge its contents. “I don’t even recall there being a tape or a video and I know that. So I want to see the state that I was in,” he said. Yet just moments later, Ford told the Toronto Sun that he thought he knew what was on the video police have recovered. “I think I know what’s on the video and I know it’s not pretty,” he told the newspaper. “Did I smoke something? Probably. It’s ugly. ” Legal experts have said Ford has no right to call for the video to be made public given that it is now evidence in the extortion case
Audit says government all talk no action on environment
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - A massive audit of federal conservation policies paints a picture of mismanagement and neglect when it comes to Canada’s natural heritage. The study by Neil Maxwell, the commissioner of the environment and sustainable development, repeatedly points to a lack of strategies, plans and resources required to maintain or improve everything from basic biodiversity and species at risk to the national parks. “I see a wide gap between the government’s commitments and the results achieved,” Maxwell says in the preface to the report. “The most important thing is they have to demonstrate, given the track record is one of missed commitments - failing to act on past commitments, it’s really up to the government to demonstrate they’re serious in terms of taking action,” Maxwell said. The Conservative government has shown little concern that Canada is nowhere near meeting another of its international promises, the 2020 target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions 17 per cent below 2005 levels.

At Canada’s national parks, funding for “heritage resources conservation” - effectively the natural beauty of the parks - decreased by 15 per cent last year compared with the preceding six years, “with further reductions planned as part of decisions flowing from the 2012 federal budget.” Staffing for conservation at national parks has declined 23 per cent and scientific staff positions are down by more than a third, says the report.

against his friend and occasional driver, Alexander (Sandro) Lisi. Lisi, 35, has been charged with extortion in relation to the alleged video. A spokeswoman for Toronto police wouldn’t say how Ford’s comments
would impact an ongoing police investigation, saying only that “the information will be passed on to investigators.” At city hall, some who worked with Ford said his latest admission was a clear sign that he needed to step
back from the mayor’s chair. A member of Ford’s executive committee - which works closely with the mayor - said some councillors were bringing a motion against the mayor that could strip him of some of his powers.

T
he Curse of Mars also applies to Asian countries. About two-thirds of the attempted missions to Mars have failed, many of them even before leaving Earth orbit, and most of the rest when they tried to land. Japan’s only Mars mission failed in 1998, China’s first try failed when the Russian rocket carrying its Mars orbiter into space fell back to Earth in 2011 – and so India seized the opportunity to be the first Asian country to go to Mars. Fifteen months after the decision was announced by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in an Independence Day speech from the Red Fort in Delhi, India’s halftonne Mangalyaan vehicle blasted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on the country’s east coast on Tuesday. It is already in Earth orbit, and within two weeks it will set course for Mars. Unless the Mars Curse gets it, of course. There is something faintly ridiculous about India and China “racing” to be the first Asian country to reach Mars, but it’s no more ridiculous than the Russian-American space race of the 1960s. Besides, to be fair to the Indian Space Research Organization, the launch window for mak-
ing a relatively low-energy transition to a Mars orbit will close before the end of this month, and it won’t open again for more than two years. Once Mangalyaan gets there, if it does, it will go into orbit around Mars and carry out various scientific experiments, notably a search for methane (an indicator of the presence of life) in the Martian atmosphere. At this point, various arrogant and/or sanctimonious people will point out that the American Mars rover Curiosity has already reported finding no methane on Mars, and that India is too poor to be indulging in such foolishness anyway. The Indians will reply that NASA, the American space agency, also said that there was no evidence of water on the Moon – until the Indian lunar orbiter Chandrayaan-1 reported the presence of water molecules in the lunar soil in 2008. They might also mention that if the United States waited until there were no more poor Americans before sending people to the Moon, the first US mission might leave fifty years from now. Or maybe not even then. The Indian space programme operates on an amazingly small budget

(about $1 billion a year), but it has put dozens of satellites in orbit that provide practical benefits for earthbound Indians: remote sensing, flood management, cyclone alerts, fishery and forest management, etc. But that’s all in near space; the question is really whether longrange space exploration is a rational proposition. Nationalism is part of the motivation behind every country’s space programme, and while it has its comical side it does at least persuade the political authorities to provide the large sums that are needed. China is planning to land a rover on the Moon next month, and is talking about a manned landing there by 2024. That will certainly speed up India’s manned space programme. Like the old Russian-
American space race, the Chinese-Indian one will accelerate the development of new technologies and techniques. It will fill some of the gap left by the loss of momentum in the older space powers, and some useful science will get done. But the biggest reason for welcoming the entry of major new players in space exploration is the one that everybody is too embarrassed to mention: the future of the human race. Well, almost everybody. Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of SpaceX, the private company that aims to dominate the delivery-toorbit service once provided by NASA, actually wants to create a human colony on Mars in his own lifetime – and he’s 41 now. He is a serious player, whose large fortune (derived from his creation and subsequent sale of PayPal) is now devoted to manufacturing electric cars and building space transportation systems. Both projects are prospering, and he sees them as providing the financial and technological basis for pursuing his real goal: spreading human beings beyond this single planetary habitat while the launch window for that is still open.
Musk was quite frank about that in an interview with Rory Carroll in The Guardian newspaper last July. “The lessons of history suggest that civilizations move in cycles,” he said. “You can track that back quite far – the Babylonians, the Sumerians. We’re in a very upward cycle right now, and hopefully that remains the case. But it might not. “There could be some series of events that cause that technology level to decline. Given that this is the first time in 4.5 billion years where it’s been possible for humanity to extend life beyond Earth, it seems like we’d be wise to act while the window was open and not count on the fact that it will be open a long time.” I’ll let you in on a little secret. That is a big part of the motivation (though a rarely admitted part) for half the people who work in any of the national space programmes, including India’s. They value the science, and they may even revel in the glory from time to time, but that’s what it’s really about.

LETTERS & OPINION
Award Winning Best Western Plus
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Rosslander’s viewpoint off the mark
The disrespectful tone of Rossland Councillor Jill Spearn’s letter to the editor (Lack of traffic flow alarming, Trail Times, Oct. 29) has compelled me to respond. Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinions and the newspaper offers us a chance to do so in a public forum. However, I believe with that privilege goes an inherent understanding that we choose our words carefully. Given the geographical constraints of the Trail corridor and the fact that two highways must converge, it is illogical to make a comparison to the Rossland experience. First of all, Rosslanders could choose an alternate route to circumvent the construction zone via Park or Thompson Avenue. Secondly, they did not have to try and accommodate 1000plus employees going to and leaving work at the same time. As far as the young flaggers, I feel sorry for them at the peak times, as it must be very stressful. I have had many opportunities to observe them
and they are doing the best they can given the circumstances. In addition, many of us appreciate the fact that a company from the area is doing the work, thus creating employment for youth in the West Kootenay region. Councillor Spearn also makes reference to the lack of courtesy shown during her “war zone” experience. I have found the total opposite. I have witnessed people motioning other drivers to merge ahead of them and have been the recipient of such consideration numerous times. The reference made to the struggling Trail businesses, I too empathize with their current situation however, there is still parking available at their storefronts. If memory serves me correctly the Trail Times wrote an article about some Rossland businesses who suffered greatly due to a lack of access during their downtown core project. The condescending comments made about the Trail “professionals running the
show” I found most disturbing of all for many reasons, of which I do not care to elaborate upon at this time. Suffice to say that with comments like those it is no wonder the two communities cannot work together for the common good. We have all experienced some frustration with the wait times through the downtown, but like anything in life we are called upon to adjust. Leave earlier, later or enjoy the time listening to music. If we lived in the Lower Mainland we would be experiencing gridlock year round not just for a few months. These situations call for patience and courtesy. I was sorry to hear that Councillor Spearn “will not travel to Trail again until this is done.” On behalf of the Trail taxpayers I would like to extend an invitation to come and have a relaxing swim at the Trail Aquatic Centre when she is able to once again visit our great city.

War Amps program carries on message I belong to Operation Legacy, a group of members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program dedicated to preserving Canada’s military heritage and teaching other young people how to carry on the remembrance message. This year, The War Amps is celebrating a major anniversary. Ninety-five years ago, First World War amputee veterans formed The Amputations Association of the Great War. The name was changed to The War Amputations of Canada when Second World
War amputees joined their ranks. These men later started the CHAMP Program to assist young amputees like me. In addition to having had the privilege of learning about Canada’s military heritage from a young age, I also know what it is like to live without a limb – a strong bond that I share with war amputee veterans. Because of this, I feel it is my duty to ensure that the stories of war are preserved and its lessons never forgotten. I have been fortunate to be involved with Operation

Constant overseas missions fray military families: study
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The strain of what seems like never-ending conflict overseas in the last two decades is hurting the children and spouses of Canadian Forces members, says an in-depth study by military ombudsman Pierre Daigle. His latest report, released Tuesday,
found the health and the grades of children suffer when their parents deploy to Afghanistan, Haiti or other trouble spots around the world. “From a health perspective, children of deployed military members were found to experience physical issues, including increased stress, sleep-
ing problems and more than double the rate of occurrence of other ailments compared to similar children within the civilian population,” the 89-page report said. “Families and providers/supporters repeatedly conveyed situations of healthy children becoming sick during deploy-

ments.” The report said military children often feel isolated and misunderstood. Issues related to the education of their children was cited as “one of the dominant reasons for CF members leaving the military.” The 14-month study interviewed 370 current and former military families across the country and found that children’s worries about parents in war zones distracted them from their studies. “Families also noted that academic performance is generally impacted by the prevalence of extended deployments to locations such as Afghanistan,” the report said. “This is corroborated by scientific research, which shows that military children experiencing deployment test substantially lower than their civilian counterparts in a range of subjects.” The strain is also evident among military couples, where some say it can take a year or more for the soldiers, sailors or aircrew to reintegrate with the family after an overseas tour and sometimes bonds are

never fully restored. Daigle said military families are much like civilian families, but three differences produce extra challenges. “These characteristics are mobility, separation and risk,” he said. Because of frequent moves, military spouses have a tough time finding meaningful employment. Some families have trouble finding a family doctor after a move. Housing is another big issue, with Daigle noting that affordability in off-base accommodations is becoming a real challenge in different parts of the country. Those who choose to live on bases often find a wide disparity in the quality of military housing, most of which was built between the late 1940s and the 1960s. The watchdog pointed to a 2012 Canadian Forces Housing Agency assessment of its over 12,000 housing units, which found about 29 per cent of them are considered to be in “poor condition,” and have “exceeded their life cycle.” Daigle said some
of these houses have leaky basements, dripping taps, aged electrical systems, uneven floors and even asbestos in the insulation in some cases. He described one military spouse who took time every week to scrub mould off the window frames with a toothbrush. The ombudsman also took on the issue of military families, living off base, who are forced to swallow equity losses when they sell their homes during forced transfers. Military members are eligible for reimbursement of up to $15,000 in losses, and potentially could receive more if selling in a so-called “depressed market.” But the ombudsman says Treasury Board guidelines set the standard so high that no one qualifies, leaving soldiers bewildered and embittered. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, many families discover too late that this benefit is subject to stringent conditions and thus applied on an exceptional basis only,” the report said. “The restrictive application of this
benefit is not specified or referred to in policy and is therefore not understood until a military family faces a loss on a home sale. This creates a false expectation in the minds of many families that this program protects them in the event of having to sell at a loss.” The report included 18 recommendations to improve the quality of life and the military says it is working on meeting most of them, including more help for families, improved moving policies and improvements to the housing stock. “The ombudsman’s report also provides us a road map for continuing the work necessary to support our families,” said Maj.-Gen. David Millar, chief of military personnel. “We’re already under way,” he said. “We have taken the ombudsman’s recommendations and we are already stepping out.” Daigle said he’ll keep an eye on the response. “We give the system a year or two and we do a follow-up to see how things are moving.”
Charlie Trotter
Chef raised bar on fine dinning THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO - With a culinary style he likened to improvisational jazz, Charlie Trotter changed the way Americans view fine dining, pushing himself, his staff, his food and even his diners to limits rarely seen in an American restaurant. Yet it was his reluctance to move beyond those limits that may have defined the last years of his life. Trotter, 54, died Tuesday, a year after closing his namesake Chicago restaurant that was credited with putting his city at the vanguard of the food world and training dozens of the nation’s top chefs, including Grant Achatz and Graham Elliot. For decades, Trotter’s name was synonymous with cutting-edge cuisine. He earned 10 James Beard Awards, wrote 10 cookbooks and in 1999 hosted his own public television series, “The Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter.” “It was the beginning of the notion that America could have a real haute cuisine on par with Europe,” said Anthony Bourdain. “That was what Charlie did.” Trotter’s food was grounded in classical French technique, but blended seamlessly with Asian influences. He believed fervently in the power of simplicity and clean cooking, turning to simple vegetable purees and stocks - rather than heavy sauces - to deliver standup flavour in menus that changed daily. He also was an early advocate of using seasonal and organic ingredients, as well as sustainably raised or caught meat and seafood.

Whitecaps welcome Kootenay Soccer Academy BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
Close to 100 Whitecaps FC Kootenay Academy soccer players, ranging in ages from eight to 18, travelled to the coast to participate in the Vancouver Whitecaps skills camp last week. Players from Greater Trail, Nelson, Castlegar, Greenwood, Fernie, Kimberly, Cranbrook, and Invermere hit the pitch Saturday in Vancouver for two development sessions with Whitecaps coaching staff, and were in the classroom Sunday morning to learn about the Whitecaps’ philosophy and approach to the game. “The weekend was an unbelievable experience for all involved not just for the play-
ers but the staff and parents,” said Kootenay Academy coach Brett Adams in an email. “The attitude of the players and the way they conducted themselves is a credit to their families and the Kootenay community.” The contingent also had an on-field session Sunday before taking a trip to BC Place Stadium to cheer on the Whitecaps as they closed out their Major League Soccer (MLS) season with a 3-0 win over the playoffbound Colorado Rapids. All of the young Kootenay players were pitch side for the warm up and had the chance to get autographs and pictures with the Whitecaps. On Monday, the players competed in a mini tournament within their own age group,
showing off their skills in a game situation, before heading back to the Kootenays. “I was brimming with pride the whole weekend to see 96 of the players giving it there all,” added Adams. “I would like to thank everyone involved for making this happen, a lot of hard work goes into these events and the staff, chaperons, parents, players all made this possible. We are already excited to plan the next event.” Adams, took over as KSA coach earlier this year. A Nottingham native, he holds a UEFA A coaching license and has over 10 years of youth development coaching experience in England, including time spent with English Championship Club Nottingham Forest.
Trail swimmers shine at triple pentathlon
BY TIMES STAFF The Trail Winter Swim Club had blazing fast results in the pool at the Iron Triple Pentathlon in Penticton last week. Dylan Kormendy of Fruitvale won the boys 10 and under age group overall HighPoint award with nine provincial AAA time standards to qualify for the provincial championship meet in Feb 2014. Fruitvale’s Johnny Ekinci was second in the 50, 100, and 200-m backstroke and third in the 200-m Individual Medley (IM).
Ian Markus of Montrose placed third in the 50 and 100-m back and third in the 50-m free events as well as achieving provincial AAA qualifying time standards in all events in U-11. Samuel Matthew of Nelson placed third overall in the 50, 100, and 200-m breaststroke events and achieved six provincial AAA time standards (U-13), smashing six team short course records. Martin Gonzalez of Fruitvale placed third in the 200-m back and 100-m free events achieving AAA
provincial times in U15 and fourth in both the 200 and 400-m IM, while setting a dozen team standards. Many Trail Swim Club members swam personal best times and set club records
during the meet, qualifying for AA and AAA championships. For more information in joining the Trail Winter Swim Club email programdirectortwsc@outlook. com.
BY TIMES STAFF The Selkirk Saints bounced back from a rough road trip, with a convincing win on its return to the comfortable confines of the Castlegar Rec Complex on Saturday. Former Trail Smoke Eater Darnell Dyck netted a hat trick as the Saints shut out Trinity Western University by a 6-0 score. TWU entered the game atop the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League standings with five wins and one loss, but the Saints carried the play through most of the game and outshot the visitors 53-23. “Getting wins at home is something that we pride ourselves on,” says Saints head coach Jeff Dubois. “We have great fans and the guys very much appreciate and feed off of the energy in the building on game nights. There’s certainly an extra motivation to perform when you’re receiving such tremendous support.” Cody Fidgett opened the scoring midway through the first period when he converted a feed from Saints captain Logan Proulx and beat Spartans netminder Harry Fredeman high to the glove. The hosts doubled their lead 22 seconds later when Trail native Garrett Kucher fed a nifty cross-ice pass to Dyck for a tap-in at the far post. Fidgett and Dyck continued to do the damage offensively in the second period, as Fidgett scored on a tic-tac-toe passing play from
Proulx and Jackson Garrett, before Dyck fired a shot on a shorthanded rush to extend the lead to four. Former Beaver Valley Nitehawk Mason Spear beat Fredeman from in tight on a Saints’ power play in the third period and Dyck completed his hat trick with just 22 seconds remaining in regulation to cap off the scoring. “We headed into tonight’s game off a couple of losses and our whole group came out prepared to dictate the speed and tempo of the game,” said Dubois. “TWU is a hard-working team that can be very difficult to break down defensively, and even when you do they’ve got one of the top goalies in the league to stop the puck. Tonight we made some skilled plays, but we were also tough to defend in how we moved our feet and cycled the puck. It’s really how we need to play night in, night out to be successful on a consistent basis.” Selkirk netminder Chris Hurry picked up his second shutout of the season, turning aside 23 shots. The victory was the fifth straight on home ice for the Saints to open the BCIHL regular season. Overall, the team has won 26 of 27 games on home ice since the start of the 2012-13 campaign. Selkirk and TWU will face off again on Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre. Both games can be viewed online at www.FastHockey.
CURLING
B.C. teams battle for Olympic berth
KITCHENER - Two BC curling teams are among the 24 teams that have converged in Kitchener, Ont. with dreams of winning gold for Canada at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. Team Scott and Team Morris are in the running for the final four spots in the 2013 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings, where it will be decided which men’s and women’s teams will represent Canada at the Olympics. This year there are two women’s spots on the line, and Kelownabased Kelly Scott would dearly love to lay claim to one of them, especially given the 2013 Roar of the Rings will be contested in her former hometown. “It would be wonderful to make it to the Trials. Three of us on the team are originally from Winnipeg so it
would be just a thrill to be there,” said Scott. Front-enders Sasha Carter and Sarah Wazney are former Winnipeggers, while third Jeanna Schraeder is a native of Kelowna. Meanwhile, the newly minted Team Morris are headed to the Road to the Roar, with three members of last year’s Team Cotter. Jim Cotter, from Vernon, Tyrel Griffith, from Kelowna, and Rick Sawatsky, from Kelowna, are joined by defending Olympic Champion Morris, from Alberta, for the 201314 season.

Sports world junior a challenge
Canada downs Swiss in first match
By Times Staff Canada West began the 2013 World Junior A Challenge on a winning note with a 4-3 victory over Switzerland on Monday. Vernon native and Salmon Arm SilverBack Alex Gillies scored the winner just over a minute into the third period, and Dylan Hollman of Red Deer scored twice and added an assist to lead Canada West to the victory. Prince George Spruce King goalie Jesse Jenks got the start in goal and stopped 31 shots as the team capitalized on 3-of-5 powerplay opportunities, while the Swiss
went 0-for-4 on its chances. Canada West lost its only exhibition match Sunday 4-3 to the U.S.A before beginning round-robin play Monday. Merritt Centennial and former Trail Smoke Eater AP Dane Birks opened the scoring for Canada West who led 2-1 headed into the third, but the U.S. would score three third-period goals for the victory. Powell River’s Kurt Keats was also named captain of Team Canada West. Canada West played the Czech Republic Tuesday afternoon but scores were unavailable at press time.

be appreciated. -Frustrated in South Dakota Dear Frustrated: Since your wife started marriage with a diminished libido, it’s unlikely to have improved at this point. Please ask her to discuss this with her doctor in order to strengthen your marriage. She should be willing to make the effort, but if she refuses to address this, we hope you will not make sex the focus of your relationship. If your wife has other qualities that make her a good partner, try to concentrate on those. We know many folks -- male and female -would be thrilled to

If you come in anyway, and we can see that you are sick, do not get insulted and storm off when we say we will not be able to perform your service that day. We’ll be happy to do it when you are better. -- Stylist Trying To Stay Well Dear Stylist: Thank you for reminding people that we each have a responsibility to take our health and that of others seriously. If you have a fever, cough, sniffles or other indication that you may be contagious, please stay home. You’ll feel better -- and so will everyone else. Dear Annie: I’d suggest to “Any Name in Any City” that whatever is going on between her and her husband probably has nothing to do with her weight. I
agree with you, Annie, that he is a bully and a verbal abuser. My husband, an alcoholic, was both verbally and physically abusive to me when I was a petite 127 pounds after two children. I finally got him into treatment and myself

have sex twice a month. Intimacy is important, but it isn’t everything. Dear Annie: As a self-employed hairstylist facing the upcoming flu season, I would like to speak on behalf of all personal service providers. Most of us work on a commission basis and do not have sick leave. If we are not at work, we don’t get paid. If we get sick from clients, we miss work and run the risk of infecting our fellow employees and our families. Last year my Christmas holiday was ruined when I became sick because clients with fevers dragged themselves to the salon to get their hair done. Several coughed right in my face. They’ve taken every over-thecounter drug on the market and can hardly keep their eyes open, but still think it’s OK to sit in my chair. If your child is too sick to go to school, please don’t decide

Dear Annie: My wife and I have been happily married for 27 years. We are both in our early 50s, physically fit and active. My wife looks the same today as the day we married. She’s extremely attractive. The problem? She has no sex drive. She never really has. But in the past few years, her cold shoulders seem much more pronounced. We currently have sex maybe once every two weeks. She seems to enjoy it once things get rolling. But when I ask why she prefers such infrequent encounters, she says “it’s too much work” and she “doesn’t have the need for it” like I do. The two times per month are great. But the other 28 days are frustrating. I would like more intimacy in our marriage and have asked her for it. But it doesn’t seem to be an issue with her, and she’s not particularly sensitive to my needs. Any advice would

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Thursday, Nov. 7, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might idolize a boss or someone in authority today, because it’s easy to do. Take note: This means you are not seeing this person realistically. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened, give yourself a chance to enjoy beautiful things. Visit parks, art galleries, libraries, campuses and beautiful museums. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep your eyes open, because gifts, goodies and favors from others can come your way. This is the beginning of a five-month stretch that favors you beautifully! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Relations with others will be warm and cozy today, because it’s easy for both parties to feel mutually sympathetic. What’s good

be tempted to embroider whatever you see. Be careful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) If you can be generous to someone in need today, you will find this gratifying. However, if shopping, you will feel thrilled to buy something luxurious and elegant for yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) It’s easy to feel sympa-
