Marilyn Taylor, regional director Kootenay Metis Nation B.C., will walk up Pine Avenue to city hall on Friday at 11 a.m. to witness the raising of the Metis flag for the first time in Trail’s history. in Trail. The 11 actors taking part in the show range from ages 15 to 50, with three families of mother and sons, and mother and daughter ensembles. The show’s producer, Helen James, chose the five short plays based on the varying acting abilities of the Greater Trail troupe with each act lasting seven to 15 minutes in length. “I sat down and read at least 50 plays before choosing these five,” said James.

“We keep in mind who is likely to come out to rehearsals and try our best to fit everyone in.” The show opens with a grassroots performance by Timberlyn Miles and Vivian Campsall with Joseph French, a seasoned Players member, in a Canadian play by Rosemary de Graff titled “Down to Earth,” which tells the story of a son, his mother’s farm, and her fierce resistance to change in light of a husband’s indiscretion.

diers on May 18, 1885, following an unsuccessful Metis uprising lead by Louis Riel against the Canadian government. “I was so overwhelmed by the honour given to me by Bruce Dumont,” said Taylor. “I dropped to my knees and cried. I was so emotional that I couldn’t speak.” Taylor recalls childhood visits to her aunt’s farm in Saskatchewan and attending Sunday mass at the Batoche church. “There was no bell,” she said. “But they didn’t talk about it much because back then Metis were discriminated against.” The Bell of Batoche had an arduous journey back to Western Canada beginning in the 1930’s when it was hung above the Millbrook Ont. fire station, Ironically, the bell was damaged in a blaze at the fire hall, thereafter remaining hidden from view until the late ‘60s, when it resurfaced on display in the Millbrook Legion. In 1967, the federal government requested the RCMP to retrieve the bell and return it to Batoche, but the Legion refused, claiming Marie was a trophy of war. Western Metis leaders again requested the bell’s return in 1989 and 1991, but the Legion held on to the war relic. It was during these events when Taylor became involved with the Metis Nation, and read about Marie’s history. See TAYLOR, Page 3 The second and third acts will step away from drama and bring tongue-in-cheek humour about love letters in a play called “Post -Its,” which chronicles the ups and downs of a relationship, followed by “Escape From Golf Camp,” a comedy about two self-acknowledged golfaholics. Joseph French, a 17-year old who brings acting flair to three plays, is old hat to the stage, having started with the theatre company at the age of nine. See SHOWS, Page 3

Community Chest preparing Christmas hampers a United Way for the Fruitvale Area. The Community Chest idea was founded well before the United Ways were formed, Fruitvale has kept up the local tradition of Community Chest rather than convert to a national model of United Way. Both systems work in a similar fashion in that funds are donated by individuals and local businesses and redistributed to local and provincial charities. About 85 per cent of the funds collected are distributed locally to such organizations as the library, Scout Camp, Guide Camp, Hospital Foundation, Food Bank, Hospital Foundation, Fruitvale House etc. The overhead cost of the Fruitvale Community Chest is only 7 per cent so that out of every dollar

activity such as a presentation or workshop. Perhaps consideration should be given to activities that would allow you to concurrently conduct business and entertain clients and therefore the costs would be eligible for 100 per cent expensing, instead of doing the individual social invite to the hockey game that only allows a 50 per cent expensing. Interestingly, given the business input approach, it may be argued that an invitation to the client base for an event such as an “Open House” is a cost that should be 100 per cent expensed. After all, the event will have a business orientation. Now, if this type of event also supports a registered charity, CRA allows 100 per cent expensing of costs associated with such a fund-raising event. Why not invite your clients to bring items for a family Christmas basket to aid the local food bank. And I would be remiss if

the entertaining of staff were left out of this discussion. First off, work functions for staff that provide food and include a business component such as training, presentation or meeting can be 100 per cent expensed. More importantly, CRA affords a business owner the luxury of hosting social type events such as a company Christmas dinner or a night at the arena or … a post-tax-season-celebration … for employees that can be 100per cent expensed as long as it’s a general invite to all staff. Generously, CRA allows six such events a year. Keep in mind, a specific employee invite to a social type activity yields only a 50per cent expensing.

Police seek robbery suspect

From the left; Robin Habel, Jason Buhler, and Zak Higgins are ready “fore” the stage this weekend when the Columbia Phoenix Players present five one-act plays in the fourth edition of the Phoenix Cafe..

Shows set for Friday and Saturday FROM PAGE 1 “I stayed with the theatre because it is fun,” said French. “But how I started is a different story.” French’s mother, Helen James, would leave the house twice a week to rehearse for the Players when he was a child. “Finally I asked if I could join her,” French said, adding, “after she thought about it I was allowed to join. But honestly, I think she was just trying to cut down on the babysitting costs,” he laughed. The show will close with the popu-

lar Trail version of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” The performances will consist of a panel of four actors who create characters, scenes and songs on the spot, in the style of short-form improvisation games. “We have a core group of actors with three newcomers,” said James. “We are particularly proud of the experience the youth gain in theatre skills and we are always looking for new members.” Jean Wylie, 13-year member of the theatre company, is taking a back seat

Taylor picked to ring bell FROM PAGE 1 “I spent so much of my life hoping to see that bell before I died,” she said. “Even though I couldn’t speak I did say a prayer for all Metis people over the bell as I rang it.” Celebrating Metis heritage came later in Myrt Servatius’s life, but her roots run deep in its culture. “My mother would never admit that she was Metis to her dying day,” recalled Servatius. “There was so much prejudice back then,” she continued. “But I remember visiting my great grandfather in St. Louis (Sask.) and he would tell us stories about the rebellion at Batoche. Being very young, this meant nothing to me. But now after learning my family history, I am proud to be Metis.”

By Times Staff Police are searching for a robbery suspect in Castlegar. According to a police press release, on Wednesday at approximately 11:15 a.m. a male entered the Paragon Pharmacy located at #1171983 Columbia Ave Castlegar and pulled out, what is described as shotgun, demanding money and prescription medication. The employees acted appropriately by following the males directions and allowing him to leave with some medication and an undisclosed amount of cash. The male entered through the front of the store exiting via the rear door, which faces east. The male is described as early 20's, approximately 5' 8", slim build. At the time he was wearing a grey and dark blue winter coat, unknown length, dark colored pants, either sweats or jeans, wearing dark colored gloves, his face was covered with an unknown fabric or mask. No one was physically injured during the robbery. Patrols of the community have failed to locate a suspect at this time. Anyone with information is asked to call the Castlegar RCMP or Crime Stoppers. •••• The Trail and Greater District RCMP detachment is reminding citizens to make sure all vehicles are locked and secured as well as recreational vehicles like quads, boats and snow machines following an incident on Nov. 2. In the early morning hours that day, police received a report of a stolen vehicle that had just occurred in East Trail. Patrols were made immediately and the vehicle was located and the driver fled the vehicle on foot. The driver was not located but a male known to police was located in the area. The male was arrested but later released and will be summoned to court pending further investigation. Some damage to private property was done by the vehicle and driver during the time it was stolen.

Documents detail claims of mayor and prostitutes

HIGH FRAME RATE 3D

DOLBY 7.1 SURROUND SOUND

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A court document suggests people close to Rob Ford were concerned about the Toronto mayor’s use of drugs, drunk driving and even the presence of suspected “prostitutes” in his office. The previously redacted information comes from police interviews with former staffers of the mayor, in a document that contains allegations not proven in court. Several of the staffers’ allegations centre around the night of St. Patrick’s Day last year, where a former staffer told police he saw Ford with another staffer, a friend and a

young, blond woman named Alana who he thought was “an escort or a prostitute.” The same woman had been seen with Ford at a stag party, exstaffer Isaac Ransom told police. Ransom told police Ford was drinking from a 40-ounce bottle of Smirnoff vodka and by the time he arrived at the mayor’s office that night around 9 p.m. half of it was gone. “Mayor Ford was totally out of it and had obviously been drinking,” the police document quotes Ransom as saying. Ford wanted to “smoke narcotics” with Alana and his friend but his staffers stopped him, Ransom told police. Ford went to a bar that night and a friend of Alana’s showed up, Ransom said. “When he got up to leave he decided he wanted to go to the dance floor, so he went over, stumbled around the dance floor and fell down,” the police quote Ransom as saying. Another staffer, Chris Fickel, told

police he was not with the mayor that night, but heard that the mayor went back to city hall with three staffers, a friend and “two females that may have been prostitutes.” The mayor then started “crying uncontrollably,” assaulted one staffer, pushed another and drove himself home, the documents say. Ford’s former chief of staff Mark Towhey told police that Fickel confided in him that one time the mayor had stopped and drank a “mickey” of vodka while driving. After hearing this Towhey implemented a new rule that if a staff member was with the mayor they would be the one to drive, he told police. The new revelations came hours after Ford admitted for the first time to buying illegal drugs while in office. Despite the mounting pressure for him to resign or step aside, Ford repeated during a council meeting Wednesday that he is not going anywhere.

Vancouver

Cabbie returns $10,000

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - It could have been a $10,000 tip, but a Vancouver cab driver is being praised for reuniting a forgetful fare with a very precious package. Cabbie Sarjinder Singh knew exactly what to do when a passenger handed over an envelope that had been lying on the seat of Singh’s cab and Singh realized it was stuffed with a wad of bills. He was certain the money belonged to a passenger he had just dropped at another Vancouver address, so he returned to that building and tracked the man down. Singh says the man was overjoyed and offered him a $1,000 reward, which the cabbie refused, insisting he was only doing his job. He adds his colleagues are honest, hardworking and family-oriented, and just want a little more appreciation.

Edmonton

Brave act from small dog THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - A small dog is expected to survive after it was chopped and slashed while trying to put a big bite on some machete-wielding home invaders in Edmonton. Police say four people forced their way into the northeast home Tuesday evening, slightly injuring a woman in her 30s with the big knife. Her dog, described as a pitbull-type canine, then sprang at the intruders but was badly wounded by the machete. The dog attack was still enough to frighten the invaders out of the home. The pet was rushed to an emergency veterinary clinic for surgery.

Councillors in the District of Oak Bay have approved a cull as part of a deer management project. Blacktail deer, which are smaller than their mule deer cousins, roam primarily at dawn and dusk and are often hit by unwary drivers, which Mayor Nils Jensen says poses a deadly risk to humans and deer, alike.

OBITUARIES EWINGS, SHEILA MARY (NÉE HARVEY) — Our dearly beloved Little Mum and Granny passed away on October 29, 2013, after a brief illness, surrounded by her children and grandchildren. She was born on September 23, 1923, in Porthgwarra, Cornwall, UK, to Alfred and Elizabeth Olive Harvey. When her family moved to Canada, they first lived with her mum’s sister Minnie Triggs in Rossland and later moved to Trail. She married our dad, Patrick Eugene Ewings, on August 7, 1947. Before her marriage, she worked for the BC Telephone Company as an operator. Once her children were old enough, she worked at the Eaton’s catalogue department and later at the Sears catalogue department. Sheila loved to smile at and say hi to everyone. She appreciated every kindness, no matter how small. She loved reading, singing, going for drives, wildflowers, birds, poetry, old movies, crossword puzzles, and her home away from home, the Hume Hotel, where she could visit with her “second family”. Little Mum is survived by six devoted children and their families: Sherry Ewings of Victoria; John Ewings of Trail; Clayden Ewings of Trail; Ricki Ewings (Joslyn Sharp) and daughter Sarah Sharp of Trail; Patrick Ewings (Darlene) of Kelowna, daughter Jessica (Jeff) of Kelowna, and son Chris (Linnea) of Vernon; Rosalie Schroeder (Ken) of Warfield; daughter Lori (Kyle) of Cranbrook; and son David (Jocelyn) of Castlegar. Little Mum was predeceased by her parents; her cherished little boy Eugene Clayden (Genie); her husband, Patrick; her brother, Bill Harvey; and his wife Rita. Mum was very humble, and at her request, there will be no service. Mum supported dozens of charities, including the Stephen Lewis Foundation, Médecins Sans Frontières, Amnesty International, and Covenant House (Vancouver). If you would like to make a gesture in remembrance of our mother’s generous and loving life, we would be honoured by a donation in her memory to any of these, the KBRH Health Foundation in support of the family room on third floor medical at KBRH, or any charity of your choice. We wish to express our gratitude to Dr. Marnie Jacobsen, who cared for our mum for many years and in her final hours, as well as the doctors, nurses, ambulance attendants, emergency team, and all the other staff at KBRH who helped our dear mum. We especially appreciate the wonderful nursing staff on the third floor, who made mum as comfortable as possible in her final days. Special thanks to Dave Leonard and all the other bus drivers in Trail, and to the amazing management and staff of the Hume Hotel in Nelson. Our world is forever diminished, yet we are overflowing with Little Mum’s love and will have her with us always.

Crafting an effective Senate will take some work

he current expenses and ethics scandal buffeting the Senate and prime minister’s office has inspired all manner of “solutions” for Canada’s upper chamber, from abolition to reform, depending on the predilections of the author. One idea in particular, however, is in vogue right now and it is worth taking a moment to see why this popularity is quite undeserved. This is the notion of continuing with an appointed Senate, but one where a better and non-partisan appointment process would result in a higher calibre of senator. This approach appeals particularly to people who are rightly completely disgusted by both the behaviour of some of the senators currently in the news and by the behaviour of political parties more generally. There is a palpable yearning in the land for a body of virtuous Platonic guardians, above the political fray, interested only in the good of the country. There is much discussion of arm’s length appointment processes, like those

for Supreme Court judges and governors general, that would “get the politics out” of who makes it into the red chamber. But as James Madison, one of the American founding fathers, once wisely remarked: “If men were angels, no government would be necessary.” A Senate of disinterested angels may perhaps be a delightful fantasy, but it is a fantasy nonetheless. The reality is that no matter how senators are chosen, be it appointment, election or lottery, the resulting body will be composed of fallible human beings. We should, therefore, focus on crafting an institution that does not assume senators are improbably virtuous. Instead it would aim to reduce the scope for bad behaviour while ensuring the transparency and democratic accountability that help keep people honest and focused on the good of the country, rather than their individual advantage. Indeed while everyone’s attention has been focused recently on the bad behaviour of a small minority of senators, the fact is that

BRIAN LEE

CROWLEY Troy Media

the Senate has been graced over the years with many members of the highest ethical, moral and intellectual achievements, including distinguished scientists, surgeons, athletes, public servants and business leaders. Yes, there has been dross as well, but I think it is fair to say that the large majority of senators are distinguished people who take their job seriously, behave honourably and try to do the best they can for the country. An improved appointments process is, therefore, only likely to change the composition of the Senate on the margins. A few more good people and a few less scoundrels won’t overcome

the serious flaws that disfigure the institution today. An improved appointments process would not overcome, for example, the absence of a democratic mandate for senators, who would still find themselves plunged into a legislative backwater. How could a chamber of appointed individuals, no matter how illustrious and distinguished, hope to resist successfully the will of the Commons based on the popular mandate? Any attempt to do so would quickly give rise to charges of a nascent and unaccountable aristocracy running roughshod over the popular will. And why would the best and the brightest respond to the call to serve the nation in the Senate unless they were to be given the power and authority to do the job? We must not forget, moreover, that unless the Supreme Court of Canada gives an unexpected ruling on the federal government’s reference on Senate reform, new appointees will continue to be named until age 75 and will never have to account to anyone for their use of the power granted them under the

Constitution. I, at any rate, have concluded that there is no appointment process that could rescue the Senate from its current disgrace and impotence. We are a modern 21st century democracy. Political institutions draw their power and authority from democratic mandates and parties are an indispensable instrument of democracy. A nonpartisan appointed Senate, no matter how angelic its members, could never hope to be anything but an impotent anachronism. Appointing higher calibre individuals is a non-solution to the Senate’s shortcomings. Creating an accountable democratically-elected institution with appropriate checks and balances ensures that when fallible people are given power, the chances of their abusing it are much reduced. That is the best we can hope for in a reformed Senate and it would be an achievement not to be belittled. Brian Lee Crowley is Managing Director of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.

Letters & Opinion Letters to the editor

Kudos to Fruitvale for Nov. 11 ceremony Over the years I have attended a number of Remembrance Day ceremonies in several different communities. On Nov. 11, I had the privilege of attending the Remembrance Day ceremonies in Fruitvale. Without a doubt, it was the best presentation I have ever seen. All the presenters did a commendable job and I was very impressed with the words

of Pastor Kent Maddigan. I have talked with numerous people who were there and the same very positive feeling was expressed. I'm not good at guessing numbers but I feel there were somewhere around 400 or more adults and children at the ceremony. The crowd was very solemn and appreciative, enjoying the ceremony.

After the service many people chose to attend the luncheon in the Fruitvale Hall provided by Columbia Power Corporation. Congratulations to the organizers of this event. The importance of remembering was always in the forefront and those who gave their lives for us would be proud of the efforts of so many. Bob Bastian Fruitvale

found that one group of microbes, gammaproteobacteria, appears to be associated both with plant diversity and allergies. And it didn’t matter whether they considered allergies to cats, dogs, horses, birch pollen or timothy grass. People with more diverse kinds of gammaproteobacteria on their bodies were less likely to have allergies. The immune system’s primary role is to distinguish deadly species from beneficial and beneficial from simply innocent. To work effectively, our immune system needs to be “primed” by exposure to a diverse range of organisms at an early age. In this way it learns to distinguish between good, bad and harmless. If not exposed to a wide array of species, it may mistakenly see a harmless pollen grain as something dangerous and trigger an allergic reaction. We also know that bacteria and fungicompete.

More research is needed. But we know we evolved in a world full of diverse species and now inhabit one where human activity is altering and destroying an increasing number of plants, animals and habitats. We need to support conservation of natural areas and the diverse forms of life they contain, plant a variety of species in our yards, avoid antibacterial cleaning products and go outside in nature and get dirty – especially kids. Our lives and immune systems will be richer for it. Dr. David Suzuki is a scientist, broadcaster, author, and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation.

Trail suffers another loss

Jim Bailey photo

In an effort to motivate an underachieving Trail Smoke Eaters team, this week the Smokies traded Curtis Tonef (2) and Brendan Lamont (17) to the West Kelowna Warriors and Penticton Vees respectively.

Smokies make moves By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

With just five wins in 24 games the Trail Smoke Eaters are shaking things up. After four games as head coach, Nick Deschenes is wasting no time putting his stamp on things as the team traded two of its top players this week. Going west are forwards Brendan Lamont and defenceman Curtis Toneff; Lamont, 19, to the Penticton Vees for future considerations, and Toneff, 20, who led all Smokie d-men in scoring with four goals and nine assists, to the West Kelowna Warriors for 18-year-old defenceman Dylan Bowen. “I still think every move we make is going to better our club,” said Deschenes. “There needs to be some changes because a little bit of the mentality from before I jumped on board is still kind of lingering and things need to be shooken up a little bit.” Lamont counted five goals and added six assists in 24 games. He had a good start to the season, but his production slowed over the last month with just one point in seven games, and one goal in his last 17. For personal reasons, he requested a move closer to home in Langley. “We’re looking out for his best interests and that was the primary motivation for the deal,” said Deschenes. “I liked him as a player, we had him slotted to keep moving forward and developing him . . . but hope he’s more comfortable there, and it might help his game as well.” The Vees also were likely looking to add a forward to fill in for Josh Blanshard who will be out of the Penticton lineup with a lower body injury for at least two months. With an open roster spot, the Smokies are in discussions with last year Smokie forward Luke Sandler, who is looking to return to the BCHL after spending the beginning of the season with the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the USHL - just not to Trail. “He is looking to come back to the BCHL and

that allows us some flexibility there to get him carded and get him maybe moved to another team.” According to Deschenes, the 20-year-old Chicago native would like to be moved to a contending team to finish out his junior career. Similarly in Toneff’s case. With the West Kelowna Warriors in striking distance of top spot in the Interior division, the addition of a solid defenceman with good leadership qualities and an offensive bent could be the difference between first and fifth in the tight division. “It’s going to be better opportunity for him,” said Deschenes. “He’s definitely one of the players I wasn’t keen on making this kind of deal, but it came up and it’s going to benefit the team long term and help us build for the future.” While recent transactions suggest the Smoke Eaters have thrown in the playoff towel, Deschenes believes the trade for the younger Bowen will make the team more competitive in the long run. “I’m confident in the program we are putting in place and have in place and are building towards and bringing in a player of that quality . . . it’s going to make our club better.” Trail hosts the Nanaimo Clippers on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and will play Salmon Arm on Saturday at the same time at the Cominco Arena.

he lead-up to the Dec. 1 roster cut-down date could well prove to be a period of change in the Trail Smoke Eaters’ camp. News broke late Tuesday that speedy forward Brendan Lamont had been shipped to Penticton for future considerations, but don’t be surprised if more trades and signings are made by the time BCHL teams get to 25 total cards. But where did things go awry? The momentum this team gained on the ice, and in the community over the last half of last season was tangible, and Trail was all the rage at the Bauer Showcase this past September. Some will point to the less-than-stellar start to Trail’s home schedule as an indicator that all was not well. Others might see the loss of goaltender Adam Todd to injury in late September as a catalyst. It seemed on more than one occasion during October’s frustrations that this team could not catch a break or lucky bounce, ever. At the time of writing, Trail sits 14 points behind fourth-place Salmon Arm for the final playoff berth in the Interior. It’s not an insurmountable task by any stretch (the 1995 Seattle Mariners

chris

wahl Off the Wahl come to mind as naysayer silencers), but it might be more important for this team to get a head-start on building for the 201415 season by accruing assets and getting younger. There are some tantalizing pieces on the current roster that are sure to dazzle the Cominco Arena faithful for years to come, and as Nick Deschenes did in turning his former KIJHL club into a .500 team in the ruthless Neil Murdoch Division, so too will he attempt to do here in the equally challenging Interior division (where three points separate first place from fifth). This is an organization that can climb the ladder in the long term, even as a community-owned entity. In fact, before the start of play Monday, each of the three division leaders (Powell River, Prince George, Merritt) were publiclyowned. Pessimists will

always point to the disparity between private and public teams in this league, but in reality, Trail finished with winning records against the dreaded Vees and Vipers last season; the surprising Centennials are 2-0 against Vernon and 1-1 against Penticton this season too. Finally, this week will mark my final column in the Trail Times, as I prepare to embark on a new challenge in the Lower Mainland next month. The opportunity (which I regret I’m not able to make public at this time) landed in my lap quite unexpectedly, and frankly was one I (and my family) couldn’t pass up. I’d like to thank Tom Gawryletz and the Smoke Eaters for everything they’ve done to help me live my dream over the last two and a half seasons, the folks at this publication for giving me an outlet each week, and the countless Smokies players, coaches, parents, billets and FANS I’ve interacted with at home and on the road since coming on board in 2011. Go Smokies Go.

Ed. note: The Trail Times would like to thank Chris for his contributions to the Smokies, the community, and the Times. We wish you well in your future endeavours.

Fines rallies for win

Times Contributor After a slow start to the season, Ken Fines has his team on a bit of a roll this past week in the Kootenay Savings Super League action. Team Fines battled Maglio Ladies in action Thursday, and skip Heather Nichol came out on fire, forcing Fines to take one in the first, then making a beautiful

double take-out for four in the second. Fines bounced back with a delicate come around tap for three, then stole the fourth and fifth ends for a 7-4 lead. The Ladies cut the lead to 8-7 by the eighth, but Fines engineered a three in the ninth, for an 11-7 win. See YOUNG, Page 10

Sports Buffalo Sabres clean house THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Buffalo Sabres are turning to their past to help turn the struggling franchise around. The NHL team has cleaned house by firing general manager Darcy Regier and head coach Ron Rolston, and bringing back former star Sabres forward Pat LaFontaine and former head coach Ted Nolan. LaFontaine was named president of hockey operations Wednesday and Nolan will serve as interim head coach. “We’ll compete, we’ll make it exciting and we’ll make it a place people want to come and enjoy hockey games again,” Nolan said at a news conference Wednesday morning. The Sabres are off to a 4-15-1 start, the worst in franchise history. Buffalo edged Los Angeles 3-2 in a shootout Tuesday night to avoid tying the worst home start in NHL history. Rolston was 19-26-6 in his brief tenure as Buffalo coach. Regier had been the Sabres general manager since 1997. Pegula stressed that the problems went beyond the

performance of Regier, who had become the subject of “Fire Darcy” chants in Buffalo. “He didn’t do what he did by himself,” Pegula said. “There was input from many people, prior owners, myself. Why now? I just decided and that’s the only answer I can give you. We work together and sometimes you get to the point where a change was needed.” The Sabres organization has plenty of familiarity with Nolan and LaFontaine. Nolan was the Sabres coach from 1995-97, winning the Jack Adams Award in 1997 as the NHL’s top coach. Nolan also coached the New York Islanders from 2006-08. His current job is coach of the Latvian men’s national team, a role he’ll continue into the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. LaFontaine starred for the Sabres from 1991-97 and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2003. “Our job is top to bottom to bring a championship calibre team year to year,” said LaFontaine, who is looking to fill the vacant general manager’s position.

The J. L. Crowe Senior Girls field-hockey team capped off a great season that included their first West Kootenay “AA” Zone title, and strong showings at tournaments at UBC, Oliver, Castlegar, and Kelowna. The Crowe Hawks competed at the AA High School Championships in West Vancouver last week losing 1-0 to Sentinel of Vancouver, 1-0 to number-1 ranked SMUS of Victoria, and 1-1 to North Delta. In the consolation draw they lost 2-0 to South Okanagan, tied L. V. Rogers 0-0, and beat North Delta 5-2 in their final and best played match of the season. The team placed 10th in the tournament but finished the provincials as one of the top teams in fewest goals allowed thanks to outstanding defensive play the entire week.

Young Ferguson finesses victory

FROM PAGE 9 Defense was the name of the game in the Team Ferguson versus Maglio Mens tilt. With Skip Rob Ferguson away, Joe Ferguson took over the reins and played a patient defensive game against the normally aggressive Russ Beauchamp. Maglio led 3-2 after seven, but got into trouble in the eighth, with rocks overcurling and wicking

a few guards, leaving Ferguson an open hit for four and the eventual 6-4 win. Rellish Transport and Team Albo started slow, leaving points on the ice, as both skips Deane Horning and Darrin Albo struggled early. Rellish led 3-2 after four, but both Horning rocks in the fifth were light and overcurled, giving Albo a tap raise for three. Rellish Transport came back

other. After Nichol started with a deuce, Skip Desiree Borsato executed a nice hit and roll for her own two, then made perfect draw freezes for steals in the third and fourth ends and a 4-2 lead. After skip Nichol hit and rolled out for only one in the fifth, Team Nichol stepped up the offensive pressure, making every come-around draw to the button or hit and roll behind cover, leading to steals of two in the sixth, seventh and eighth ends and a comfortable 9-4 Nichol win.

and tied the game at 5 in the seventh, but Albo’s front end of Issel and Williams played a strong game, leading to a deuce in the eighth and seemingly control of the game. In the ninth, facing three Rellish stones, skip Albo attempted an easy weight take-out and roll behind cover of Horning’s shot stone to put the game out of reach, but threw light and watched it overcurl leaving Horning a free draw for four. Team Rellish Transport executed a perfect 10th, running Albo out of rocks for a comeback 9-7 win. The last game saw Team Nichol and Brost Autoworx face each

your fiancee, so you must tell her first. Don’t make excuses for your behavior. Take responsibility, tell her you are deeply sorry, and ask for forgiveness. Say that you understand she is disappointed and hurt, and that you will give her as much time as she needs to think about your future together. We hope she decides to give you another chance, and that you will be worthy of her trust. Dear Annie: I have been disabled for several years. I have a hip problem and arthritis in both legs, so I need to use the handicapped toilet stall because of

stall to someone who requires it. Please don’t be reluctant to speak up if someone grabs that stall while you are waiting. Here’s the rule: The handicapped stall may be used by an able-bodied person provided no one needs it, no other stall is available and you will be quick. When you can wait for a regular stall, please do so. Dear Annie: I have a response for “Waiting for Your Answer,” who complained that every time he went to the bank, the greeter at the door and the tellers made small talk with the customers. He said it took up too much time. Apparently, he’s never worked with the public. I work in a bank. My employers have told us to be friendly to the customers. If it’s a regular customer, we might ask about the family or their job. To me, that is simply personalized service. I prefer to do business

where someone will acknowledge me rather than ignore me. If “Waiting” doesn’t want to be spoken to, he has three options: One, ignore their friendly questions. Two, complain to the person in charge. Three, take his business elsewhere,

where they move people through like robots on a conveyer belt. “Waiting” needs to learn to stop and smell the roses -- or start earlier. -- Glad To Be a Friendly Customer Service Rep Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy
