Sales benefit many in the community

FROM PAGE 1 “The money goes to all the charities Kiwanis supports. The money gets passed around. “I would go as far as to say that there is not a person or family in this town that has not benefitted some way through the donations from Christmas tree sales, whether it is family or friends or someone they know.” This year, the club has a large selection of many tree species, including some higher-end types. “We will have the top three trees you can buy: Fraser Fir, Nordmann Fir and the other is the Noble Fir,” he said. “They are the best trees you can get. We try to bring in the best trees around.” Along with the premium trees, Douglas Fir, the Alpine Fir and Colorado Blue Spruce will be available to buy. Hauling the trees all the way to the Butler Park baseball diamond is quite the job, but the Kiwanis Club has a man for that. “Andy Roberts from the Mountain Transport Institute does the runs for us at no cost,” said Pipes. Once the trees arrived, the Trail Smoke Eaters and the Beaver Valley Nitehawks donated their time unloading the trucks and moving trees around to get ready for sales. For those looking to buy a tree for their living room, Pipes says the prices will be set based on height and quality of the tree. The Kiwanis Club will also have a spot for food hamper donations and Pipes encourages anyone who has a bit extra to bring some food for needy families.

Flu season brings hospital rules into effect By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

Covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing isn't enough if you're planning on visiting a healthcare facility during the four months of flu season. Anyone entering hospitals and other medical settings including long-term care homes who didn't get a flu shot, will be asked to own up and wear a mask, effective Monday. A station is already set up inside the front entrance of Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital (KBRH) that contains masks and hand sanitizer with additional points of supply available in all patient care areas. "While staff will be able to assist visitors in the right way to put on the masks, they will not be enforcing it,” says Joanne Tench, KBRH's infection control practitioner. “The policy is in place because hospitalized Trail, $169,000

patients and seniors in residential care are more vulnerable to the flu than healthy adults. The intent is to protect patients who may already have serious health issues from getting sicker due to the flu.” However, being vaccinated against the seasonal influenza doesn't mean flushing preventive practises like hand washing down the sink. “We recommend that vaccination alone is not going to make enough of an impact if we don't look at the other very important public health and hygiene measures,” explained Dr. Lee MacKay, chair of Kootenay Boundary Division of Family Practise. Surgical masks reduce the concentrate of influenza virus expelled into ambient air when they are worn by someone shedding the virus, however Tench reminds people entering the hospital to wash their hands and use the provided hand sanitizer. Glenmerry, $199,500

New guidelines for board FROM PAGE 1 Another difference is that the service’s regulating body, the Lower Columbia Community Development Team Society (LCCDTS), will receive less money, $176,000 annually from the seven participants after Columbia Basin Trust okayed a $50,000 yearly contribution until 2017. The previous contract had the communities paying a combined total of $224,000 to the LCCDT yearly, with no help from a third party. That number was deemed not sustainable by the majority of participants following a 2013 service review. Notably, the new agreement stipulates that a review to determine the new service’s success is mandated for the last months of 2015.

“If following the review, their concerns are not addressed they then could give notice to be removed from the service and provide the 210-day notice,” said Perehudoff. “This applies to Trail as well.” The other big change that takes all the “appearance” of politics out of the room this time round, is one that delineates who is allowed, or not, to sit at the table that makes monetary decisions. The Lower Columbia Initiatives Corporation (LCIC) is a subsidiary of the society and receives flow through funding (now $226,000 annually) from that board to do all the legwork of economic development in the area. Those decisions could be construed as murky, or as a conflict of interest of an

elected official with respect to financial decisions that affect the LCIC. The new agreement clears the air, and specifies that the composition of the 11-member LCIC board cannot have one elected official taking a seat. Eight non-elected people will be nominated by the LCCDT, one non-elected member appointed by the City of Trail and two nonelected members jointly nominated by the other six jurisdictions. The current non-elected board members are business professionals throughout the region who have an interest in advancing economic development, notes LCIC’s Terry Van Horn. “They were selected either by the LCCDTS or other LCIC board members.”

Civil contempt charges dropped against pipeline protesters Kinder Morgan used wrong GPS coordinates when seeking injunction THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A B.C. Supreme Court judge has dropped civil contempt charges against dozens of protesters who were arrested at an antipipeline protest near Vancouver. The order came Thursday after Kinder Morgan acknowledged it had used incorrect GPS co-ordinates when it sought an injunction related to

its Trans Mountain pipeline. More than 100 people have been arrested on Burnaby Mountain, including Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, who crossed the police line earlier on Thursday. Kinder Morgan is conducting drilling and survey work at the site related to the proposed expansion

Stuff the Bus Campaign The Salvation Army would like to take this opportunity to thank Trail Transit and Ferraro Foods for the recent “Stuff the Bus” campaign. Major Wilf Harbin of the Salvation Army says that the food and clothing collected will go a long way in filling the Christmas Hampers. The food and clothing received came to 5,225 lbs, plus $1,500 in cash donations.

of its Trans Mountain pipeline. While that was unfolding, a lawyer for the company asked Cullen to expand an injunction that has been used to arrest more than 100 people, including Phillip. Nearly all of them have been charged with civil contempt for violating the order. A company lawyer said the GPS coordinates used in the initial injunction application - and, subsequently, in the court order - were inaccurate. The company wants the co-ordinates updated and the injunction’s timeline extended. “What’s happened thus far is that apparently people have been arrested on the basis of an order that

refers to some other piece of property,” Cullen said, prompting laughs and jeers from the courtroom’s crowded public gallery. “The concern is that people have been arrested and subjected to restraints on their liberty,” he continued later. A hearing related to the protesters’ contempt charges has been scheduled for Jan. 12. Cullen suggested that may be too long to wait if the charges are in doubt, but it wasn’t clear if he planned to take action sooner. Company lawyer William Kaplan acknowledged the GPS error poses a problem in the contempt cases, but he said it should be dealt with at another time. He suggested the

arrests may still be valid because they happened in a plot of land with the same municipal property identification number, or PID, referred to the injunction, even if the GPS co-ordinates were incorrect. “It’s clearly an issue that relates to any arrests for civil contempt,” Kaplan said of the incorrect GPS co-ordinates. “I understand there is a prosecution problem with that, because I’ve just said something that gives every counsel who is defending the civil contempt issue an argument that says, ‘If the order is ambiguous, you can’t convict under it.”’ Regardless, Kaplan said the changes the company is seeking would clear up those problems in any subsequent arrests. “A continuation of the uncertainty

doesn’t help,” Kaplan said. Kinder Morgan is conducting drilling at two sites on Burnaby Mountain, which is home to a conservation area and Simon Fraser University, as it prepares for the federal approval process. The company’s preferred route for the expanded Trans Mountain pipeline would tunnel through the mountain. The energy giant has completed work at one drilling site, which is located along a roadway and where the majority of the demonstrations have been focused. However, it says crews likely won’t be finished at a second drilling site, which is located deep into the forest, until after the current injunction deadline of Dec. 1. It was at that second site that

Phillip, the grand chief, was arrested on Thursday morning. Like many pipeline opponents before him, Phillip announced his intention to be arrested before walking past a police line that surrounded the work site. Phillip and his supporters trekked through dense brush to the work site. He was arrested to the beat of a native drum and singing. “I said that if push came to shove and there were arrests, that I would stand with the courageous people that were willing to be arrested as a matter of principle,” he said before his arrest. “We need to reclaim this country ... and return it back to the voices of the people that have invested a lifetime of hard work to build this province.”

Native elders kicked off site

THE CANADIAN PRESS TERRACE, B.C. - A group of Tahltan elders say they are being permanently kicked off a gold and copper mine site in their traditional territory by a B.C. mining company behind a

massive tailings pond spill. The elders, calling themselves the Klabona Keepers, blockaded Imperial Metals’ nearly-completed Red Chris mine in northwestern B.C.

after its Mount Polley mine in the Interior suffered a breach in August, sending a surge of effluent into nearby waterways. The Klabona Keepers say the company’s injunction and an enforcement order against them was granted in provincial court in Terrace on Wednesday, although they have already stood down their blockade for a month. Imperial Metals was granted a temporary injunction in October, but sought the more permanent court order by arguing blockaders were preventing work on the nearly-completed mine. Tahltan elder Bertha Louie says she expected the court would rule in favour of corporate interests, and feels stripped of her inherent rights and title. The ruling comes just as Kinder Morgan applies to expand an unrelated injunction granted last week against protesters at a Metro Vancouver conservation site where it is drilling for a proposed pipeline expansion.

Alex Van Bibber

Veteran remembered as trapper and storyteller THE CANADIAN PRESS WHITEHORSE - One of the Yukon’s last surviving aboriginal veterans from the Second World War has died after a lifetime of achievements, but it was his warm sense of humour and storytelling skills that have etched his memory into the hearts of all who knew him. Alex Van Bibber, who was a member of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations and hailed as a legendary outfitter, trapper and educator, died in a Calgary hospital on Wednesday. He was 98. “The Yukon without Alex is like a day without sunshine,” Kelly Hougen, his longtime trapping partner and best friend, said. “It’s been sunny since I got here (last week), and the day Alex passed away, it got overcast.” Van Bibber was weakened by pneumonia and influenza in his final days and died surrounded by nearly 30 friends and family members who had flown from the Yukon to be with him. Fourteen years

ago, Hougen said Van Bibber sat alone on a gravel bar in the northern Mackenzie Mountains, enduring a snowstorm. At age 84, he wasn’t letting age or the elements deter him from meeting up with a fellow hunter in the remote reaches of the Northwest Territories. “I had dropped him off from an airplane,” Hougen said. “He didn’t have all his gear yet, and a front came through that was just nasty, snowing and blowing.” Worried, Hougen flew back through the storm to check up on Van Bibber. “He had a fire going, and basically scolded me for coming to get him. That was the kind of guy he was.” Van Bibber would continue to hunt and teach for the next decade and a half. He began to pass on his traditional knowledge more formally as chief trapping instructor with the Yukon government in 1976. He’d been skilled in the bush for 60 years - even guiding then-U.S. senator

Robert Kennedy up the Yukon’s Mount Kennedy in 1965 and presenting him with a gold sheep-head necktie. Van Bibber was formally recognized with several awards DOLBY 7.1 SURROUND SOUND

including the Order of Canada in 1992, the Yukon Fish and Game Association Sportsman of the Year Award in 1995, and the Canadian Wildlife Federation Roland Michener Award in 1996. HIGH FRAME RATE 3D

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON - P.D. James took the classic British detective story into tough modern terrain, complete with troubled relationships and brutal violence, and never accepted that crime writing was secondclass literature. James, who has died aged 94, is best known as the creator of sensitive Scotland Yard sleuth Adam Dalgliesh. But her wickedly acute imagination ranged widely, inserting a murder into the mannered world of Jane Austen in “Death Comes to Pemberley” and creating a bleak dystopian future in “The Children of Men.” James told the Associated Press in 2006 that she was drawn to mystery novels because they “tell us more ... about the social mores about the time in which they were written than the more prestigious literature.” Publisher Faber and Faber said James died peacefully on Thursday at her home in Oxford, southern England. Faber, James’ publisher for more than 50 years, said in a statement that she had been “so very

remarkable in every aspect of her life, an inspiration and great friend to us all.” James’ books sold millions of copies around the world, and most were just as popular when adapted for television. Because of the quality and careful structure of her writing - and her elegant, intellectual detective Dalgliesh - she was at first seen as a natural successor to writers like Dorothy L. Sayers, creator of Lord Peter Wimsey, in the between-thewars “Golden Age” of the mystery novel. But James’ books were strong on character, avoided stereotype and touched on distinctly modern problems including drugs, child abuse, terrorism and nuclear contamination. Novelist A.S Byatt said the realism of James’ writing was one of its strengths. “When people in her books died the other characters’ lives changed as they would in real life,” Byatt told the BBC. “Phyllis (James) was working with real people that she cared about. “The world will be a worse place without her.”

Facts show money does buy happiness

o one wants to appear shallow, So it’s no surprise that there are countless books and articles out there that go to great lengths to convince us that money does not buy happiness. The problem with the money-doesn’t-buy-happiness theory is that the facts don’t support it. A large body of empirical research reveals a strong positive correlation between money and happiness. Not everyone who is poor is unhappy and not everyone who is rich is happy. Nonetheless, the higher your annual household income, the more likely you are to report that you are happy on a day-today basis and that you are satisfied with how your life is going. The bigger problem with the money-doesn’tbuy-happiness theory is that its well-intentioned efforts to remind us that there is more to life than money can take the focus

off the ongoing need to create the jobs and economic conditions that facilitate happier lives. A recent piece by Robert Fulford in the National Post entitled “Explaining the rich man’s misery” is a case in point. Fulford is right: some rich people are very unhappy. This should not be a big surprise to anyone. Unless you are like Scrooge McDuck and enjoy diving into piles of coins, you probably agree that money alone is not enough to ensure a happy life. Good relationships, a sense of purpose, time to relax and genetics are just some of the other factors that affect an individual’s happiness. But this does not mean, as Fulford suggests, that “psychologists, sociologists and other social scientists have discovered that money does not in fact bring happiness.” A 2009 Gallup survey that included 450,000 interviews with Americans

ROBERT

ROACH

Troy Media

was used by two Princeton happiness experts to show that day-to-day happiness grows with household income up to about $75,000. (Unfortunately, we don’t have good data like this for Canada, but the basic pattern is likely to be the same.) Day-to-day happiness is measured by asking respondents a battery of questions about how they felt the day before the survey such as did you feel joy, were you stressed-out and did you laugh and smile a lot? Because it’s often left out when the Princeton

study is cited, it’s important to note that day-today happiness plateaus, but does not drop, after $75,000. More money does not lead to more misery. According to the same study, a second measure of happiness – a person’s sense of satisfaction with their life overall – rises with income and keeps rising past $75,000. These statistics are averages, so there are exceptions. Nonetheless, someone with a household income of $20,000 is more likely to say they are less happy (on both a day-today basis and in terms of life satisfaction) than someone with a household income of $40,000 or $80,000 or $160,000. Admittedly, we do not fully understand the relationship between happiness and income. This is especially true when comparing the average happiness levels of different countries. Paraguay, for example, is the happiest country in

the world in terms of dayto-day happiness, but it doesn’t even make the top 100 when it comes to per capita GDP. Despite this, we know that money and happiness are linked on an individual level for most people. It may not be intentional, but the mantra that money does not buy happiness implies that being poor may not be such a bad thing and that efforts to raise incomes are misguided. It’s easy for the guy who has quit his wellpaying job and retired to his mortgage-free cabin to denounce soul-destroying materialism and celebrate the joys of a more simple life. It’s a lot harder to take this path when you are working two low-paying jobs just to make the rent and feed your kids. For most of us, money makes life better.

End of an era in Warfield

November 30 marks the end of an era for our friend, Jim Nelson, former mayor and councillor of the Village of Warfield. A true gentleman who served his community to the highest degree. There may be some of you who do not know what Jim has accomplished in his life here in the Village. Jim spent 36 years in the Warfield Volunteer Fire Department and 17 years as Fire Chief. He was also the past president and founder of

the Warfield Credit Union, now known as the Kootenay Savings Credit Union, as well as serving as president of the Trail and District United Way. Jim was instrumental in forming a national association of the” Canadian Volunteer Fire Services “and served as a president there. Of course, there is always a woman behind the man, but in this case, I will say, the lady, beside the man, Jane Nelson who has supported her husband in every way. Jim, along with Jane have

never forgotten to thank the Volunteers who support the Village of Warfield. Our friend, Jim is a true gentleman, modest and respected by many. It is an honor to have both Jim and Jane Nelson as friends of our family. After over 60 years of service to the Village of Warfield and to the Volunteer Fire Department, he turned in his key and left with out fanfare, quietly. Deborah Shergold John Crozier Warfield

the terrorists of Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria, Boko Haram in Nigeria, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and al-Qaeda and its offspring in other parts of the world (like al-Shebab in north-east Africa). Only about 5 percent of the victims of this latest wave of terrorism lived in developed countries, but it was their deaths, and their governments’ ignorant responses to them, that provided the fuel for the spectacular growth of jihadi extremism. So what can be done about it? The Global Terrorism Index has some useful observations to offer about that, too. It points out that a great many terrorist organizations have actually gone out of business in the past 45 years. Only 10 percent of them actually won, took power, and disbanded their terrorist wings. And only 7 percent were eliminated by the direct application of military force. Eighty percent of them were ended by a combination of better policing and the creation of a political process that addressed the grievances of those who supported the terrorism. You don’t fix the problem by fighting poverty or raising educational levels; that kind of thing has almost nothing to do with the rise of terrorism. You have to deal with the particular grievances that obsess specific ethnic, religious or political groups. And above all, keep foreigners out of the process. Their interventions always make matters worse. Which is why the terrorists love them so much. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

I Believe The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see… (Message Hebrew 11:1,2)

Unfortunately our eyes don’t give us the full picture; there is much more to life than what we can see and touch. Death more than anything else brings this truth home to us - when we let go of a loved one, not seeing The other day as I was driving down the road them but somehow knowing they live on. and daydreaming; a Brooks & Dunn song on Even when it comes to our own mortality, does it end with a slow ride in a hearse? the radio caught my attention: I can’t quote the book The chapter or the verse, You can’t tell me it all ends In a slow ride in a hearse, You know I’m more and more convinced The longer that I live, Yeah, this can’t be No, this can’t be No, this can’t be all there is

Faith, trust in God, is the foundation for all our living. Some may call it nonsense, but it is our life. Whether we live or die, our existence is in God. Jesus said of himself, “ I am the resurrection and the life, if any man believes in me even though he dies he shall live”. These words are written in red, my friend.

I raise my hands, bow my head, I’m finding more and more truth in the words written in red, They tell me that there’s more to life than just what I can see I believe Oh, I believe

St. Augustine wrote, “ Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe”.

Pope makes trip to Turkey amid tensions The Canadian Press VATICAN CITY — When a pope last visited Turkey — Benedict XVI in 2006 — MuslimCatholic tensions were so high that the Vatican added a stop at Istanbul’s famed Blue Mosque at the last minute in hopes of showing Benedict’s respect for Islam. Pope Francis travels to Turkey this weekend amid new Muslim-Christian tensions and war next door, with Islamic State militants seizing chunks of Iraq and Syria and sending 1.6 million refugees across the border into Turkey. Francis is expected to tread lightly during his three-day visit, sensitive to the delicate diplomatic tensions at play between Turkey and the international coalition fighting the Islamic State. But Vatican officials say he will not shy from denouncing violence in God’s name and voicing concern for Christians being targeted by the extremists. Remarkably, though, Francis will not meet with any groups of refugees as he has done on previous trips to the region, a clear sign of the Vatican’s unwillingness to wade too deeply into the conflict. TO PRAY OR NOT TO PRAY When Pope Paul VI made the first-ever papal visit to Turkey in 1967, he fell to his knees in prayer inside Haghia Sophia, the 1,500-year-old site in Istanbul that was originally a Byzantine church and was turned into a mosque after the Muslim conquest of Istanbul — then known as Constantinople — in 1453. The Turks were not pleased. They staged protests, claiming Paul had violated the secular nature of the domed complex, which is now a museum. Asked if Francis would pray when he visits the massive complex on Saturday, the Vatican was noncommittal. “We’ll see what he does,” spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said. “If while there the pope personally experiences a moment of spiritual meditation, we’ll have to see.” AND THE BLUE MOSQUE? Benedict became only the second pope to step foot in a Muslim house of worship when in November, 2006 he visited the 17th century Sultan Ahmet Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey’s most important. There, he took off his shoes, bowed his head and closed his eyes for nearly a minute in prayer alongside an Islamic cleric in a dramatic gesture of outreach to Muslims. The mosque visit was added late to Benedict’s schedule in a bid to soothe Muslim anger over his now-infamous speech in Regensburg, Germany linking violence to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. Asked if Francis would pray in the mosque as Benedict did, Lombardi took pains to stress the difference between a formal, ritualistic prayer that a Catholic might recite in church and a respectful “spiritual meditation” in a place of worship of another faith. Turkey’s ambassador to the Holy See, Mehmet Pacaci, said the tensions that overshadowed Benedict’s visit are “mostly a forgotten issue.” CATHOLIC-ORTHODOX Technically speaking, the real reason for the visit is for Francis to visit the spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians, Patriarch Bartholomew I. The two major branches of Christianity represented by Bartholomew and Francis split in 1054 over differences in opinion on the power of the papacy, and the two spiritual heads will participate in an ecumenical liturgy and sign a joint declaration in the ongoing attempt to bridge the divide and reunite the churches.

impact to badger habitat (red-listed species) and on other wildlife habitat and corridors, impact of the driveways on traffic on St. Mary Lake Road, and concerns about transparency and public engagement. Councilor Darryl Oakley asked Troy

but fencing is allowed under the bylaw. Coun. Albert Hoglund asked if the fencing issue could be dealt with as the development planning continued and Pollock said there would be an opportunity for conversation. Coun. Kent Goodwin said he had some concerns about allowing septic systems within city limits, but they are somewhat offset by the fact that the sale of these lands helps a Kimberley non-profit, namely the Kimberley Golf Club. Goodwin said he felt this was not a precedent for other developers for that reason. “We are allowing development on an upper bench and getting parkland down below, which is pretty good habitat. It’s a worthwhile trade. Because the golf course is right next to it, wildlife can move.” Goodwin said the other issue was river access for the public. There is a right of way to the river where a road could be developed and he suggested perhaps taxes from the new development could be set aside to pay for the road.

Selkirk College goaltender James Prigione leads all BCIHL goalies with a 2.30 GAA, and will look to backstop the Saints to a pair of wins over UVic this weekend at the Castlegar Rec Complex.

Saints look for wins against UVic

By Times Staff The Selkirk College Saints will be shooting for a strong finish to the first half of the season this weekend when they take on the University of Victoria Vikes at the Castlegar Recreation Centre. The defending British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) champions are getting set to head into the Christmas break and currently sit six points behind the first place Trinity Western University Spartans.

Challenged by an unusual amount of injuries and struggles on the road, the Saints are eager to regain the top ranking they’ve become accustomed to over the past two seasons. “There is so much parody in our league this season,” says Saints head coach Alex Evin. “Each weekend the standings change, so it makes each game important. One winless weekend in the Lower Mainland put us from second place to fourth place. “Our players realize that we

must play a full focused weekend or we will be left behind. We have had some great games in our home rink so far this season and I expect that to continue this weekend.” This weekend the Saints hope to rekindle their offence. Former Trail Smoke Eater Darnell Dyck leads the Saints in points with 13, followed by Trail native and former Smoke Eater captain Logan Proulx, with 5-611. The puck drops this Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at noon.

B.V. Nitehawks

Opportunity to climb division ladder By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks will face the Creston Valley Thunder Cats and Grand Forks Border Bruins this weekend in KIJHL action. The third-place Hawks have a golden opportunity to make up ground on Neil Murdoch division leading Castlegar Rebels and the secondplace Nelson Leafs, as the Leafs and Rebels face off against each other in a home-and-home. The Nitehawks split a pair of games last weekend including a 4-1 win over the Leafs, while the Rebels were on a roll taking three straight, including two from Grand Forks and a 5-3 win over Spokane Tuesday. The wins put them five points up on B.V., with the Hawks enjoying two games in hand. “It’s been a bit of an ebb and flow, more than we’ve seen lately but it’s tight and I don’t think there are too many years where approaching half way through the season some teams to be where

Inglehart

they are,” said Nitehawk assistant coach Kevin Limbert. The Hawks have been without Jace Weeger and Kyle Hope up front, but the two forwards are dayto-day and expected to return to the lineup soon. “Kyle brings a ton of energy and has been playing really well as of late, and so has Jace who brings a scoring touch that we definitely missed on Friday,” said Limbert. “Both guys are big pieces of our lineup but at the same time when those guys are out, you have to have the rest of the guys pick up the slack.” After a good start, Creston has lost three of its last four games, dropping to fourth spot in the Eddie Murdoch division with a 11-10-0-3 record, 10 points behind front-running Fernie. B.V. won their first meeting of the season, 2-1, at the Hawks Nest on Oct. 25 and will look to take advantage of the slumping Cats tonight in Creston. See BORDER, Page 12

The Trail Smoke Eaters face two BCHL Interior division rivals this weekend, and it goes without saying, the games are crucial if the Smokies want to stay in contention for the playoffs. The Smoke Eaters play the West Kelowna Warriors at home on Friday before facing off against the Vernon Vipers in Vernon on Saturday. Both the Vipers and Warriors are tied for second place in the division with 31 points, but the Snakes have one game in hand. The Smokies were unlucky collecting just three-of-six points on the weekend, losing 6-5 against Victoria in overtime and dropping a 2-1 game to Nanaimo in the final three seconds of play, but injuries again factored into the losses and Trail was forced to ice four affiliate players over the three game road trip to the Island. “We don’t have a lot of bodies so it’s a tough thing sometimes when they are coming at you full steam ahead and you’re just trying to survive to some extent,”said Nick Deschenes, Smoke Eater coach and GM. Trail lost Craig Martin for sixto-eight weeks with a knee injury, while Bryan Basilico and Robbie Johnson are out with an injury, Jeremy Lucchini with illness, and

Viktor Dombrovskiy is on the trade block. “Right now we’re down six bodies, which is a lot when we only roster 22,” said Deschenes. The Smoke Eaters will once again rely on a couple Affiliate Players to fill out the line up this weekend. On the upside, Trail goaltender Adam Todd returned to the line up and was stellar in a 3-2 win against Cowichan, as did Dallas Calvin who picked up an assist on the weekend, and Brett Clark starred in his start against Nanaimo. Charlie Zuccarini continues to roll collecting four points on the weekend to put him in 10th overall in the BCHL with 16-14-30. However, their first meeting with the Warriors this weekend will be a tough test for the Smokes. West K is led by Liam Blackburn whose 13 goals and 42 points puts him second in league scoring, and the Prince George native is one point away from matching his total from last year. Brayden Gelsinger, 30 points, Jonathon Desbiens, 29, and Jason Cotton, 28, round out a lethal forward attack for the Warriors. If anything, the Warriors may be lacking on defence having allowed the most goals in the division, 93, and played the most overtime games, 10, while winning five and losing five.

Kootenay Soccer

Academy kicks off in Seattle By Times Staff Two Trail soccer players travel to the coast this weekend with the Kootenay Regional Soccer Academy to hit the pitch at the Star Fire Showcase Soccer Tournament in Seattle. “This is the first time the Kootenay WhiteCaps team has attended,” said coach Brett Adams. “We’re not going there with any expectations, but . . . we expect each individual to perform to their own high standards.” Goalkeeper Paige Gattafoni of Trail will backstop the U17 Girls soccer team, while Brady Stevens will don the cleats as an

attacker for the U16 Kootenay team. Their commitment has been well noted by Adams for their extensive travel to practice in Nelson each week, but the coach is even more impressed with their talent. “Paige is phenomenally talented as a goalkeeper . . . she is certainly one of the best if not the best in the Kootenays, and were excited to have her on board. And Brady is new to the program, but certainly given it her all and cemented her spot in the Academy.” The two teams will be up against some stiff competition at the U.S. Thanksgiving week-

end tournament, and will kick off the event today with the U16 team playing the West Vancouver Rangers at 6:15 p.m. and the U17 Girls versus the Victoria Highlanders at 8:45 p.m. The teams include players from the West and East Kootenay region. Since Adams was named head coach in October of 2013 he has seen the Kootenay Soccer Academy grow from about 90 players to 350 current prospects. The teams will play two games each on Saturday before wrapping up the tournament with games against Seattle United on Sunday.

t is hockey season, hockey weather, hockey time, and the Smoke Eaters need to gear up and get points before the holiday break. As much as it seems Trail has improved over last season, they are still not in a playoff spot. They do have enough games in hand that, if they won them all, it would scratch them into a tie for the last available post-season place. That is, given current trends, a big, “if.” It isn’t as if the Smokies have not played well a lot of the time. It is that, standings-wise, almost everybody else in the BCHL is playing well, too.

points, only four teams are below .500, after almost half a season of play. That magnifies the single point Trail lost three seconds before the end of the middle game of their recent threegame trip and makes regular time wins crucial for the team if it hopes to move into contention for the playoffs. There have been 79 three-point games in the league to date - games in which losing teams receive a point, something Trail has acheived just once this year - and those miscellaneous loser points are a big reason the Smoke Eaters are as far out of a post season spot as they are. Both tonight’s opponents, West Kelowna, and Trail’s fifth-place partner, Salmon Arm, have

five such points. There are teams with two and three fewer wins than the Smoke Eaters that are tied with them in overall points. West Kelowna has only two more wins than Trail, but is eight points ahead of the Smokies and tied for second overall in the division. The reality is that the Smokies must win outright against division foes to even hope to climb the standings against them. Heading into a December in which a four-game home stand looms early, the Smokies have got to make, and take advantage of, opportunies for clear victories. Trail, despite a big year-over-year improvement in results and an entertaining style that is drawing fans to help with the bottom line, needs a playoff round or two this season. That means they already need to start making a charge into the second half of the schedule. That already means regulation time wins against division opponents are necessary. Let’s hope that begins tonight.

FROM PAGE 11 The Smokies have dropped two games to Vernon already this year, 4-1 and 3-0, and will need to get some offensive production on the stingiest defence in the league. The Vipers’ Danny Todosychuk and Jarred Schamerhorn have allowed a combined 59 goals in 24 games with the former posting a 1.92 GAA and .933 save percentage, while Schamerhorn has a 2.65

GAA and a .913 save percentage. The 11-11-0-1 Smokies will look to make up ground on the Warriors and Vipers with a couple of important wins this weekend. “As a group we’re right in the mix with games in hand, and obviously every game you play you can climb the ladder pretty quick,” added Deschenes. “I think there is a lot of positives out of that road trip so

we’ll just have a good week of practice and be ready to face West Kelowna for the first time, and then we owe Vernon, we haven’t showed up to play them yet this year.” The Smokies host the Warriors Friday at the Cominco Arena at 7:30 p.m. Admission for fans 12-and-under is a toonie, which goes to the Canadian Cancer Society to raise funds to fight cancer.

Border Bruins no pushovers

FROM PAGE 11 The Border Bruins at 7-15-0-3 hold down last spot in the Neil Murdoch division, but are no push overs. The Bruins dropped a pair of 4-3 OT games to Castlegar and Nelson on the weekend, and have had a combination of tough luck

and bad bounces. The Bruins lost their best player Max Newton to the Trail Smoke Eaters of the BCHL but have found ways to stay competitive. The Hawks may not be in must-win territory yet, but the win over Nelson should give them a boost,

and a pair of wins this weekend will keep them in contention, while giving B.V. a cushion over Spokane who are idle and currently sit two points back. “You’re going to have setbacks, you’re going to have plateaus, and falters that’s just

how a season progresses over 52 games, but as long as our overall trend is moving toward our end goal we’re happy. We’ve come a long way since day 1 so we’re happy with where we’re going.” Beaver Valley host the Border Bruins Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

ing her off would only make me feel better. What is the right thing to do? -- Soured on Her Friendship Dear Soured: Is Gloria well? If she spends all her time seeing doctors and getting physical therapy, it sounds as though she has medical issues. This, of course, does not excuse her from behaving like a caring human being, but it may explain why she is so self-involved. Since you are ready to terminate the friendship anyway, it would do no harm to ask Gloria about her health, and also let her know that her attitude has eroded the relationship. We

In over 4,000 hours of flying time, I have used this remedy now and then and have never gotten sick. Thought you might want to pass it along. -- Dave S. in Plattsmouth, Neb. Dear Dave: We’ve never heard of this, but if it works, we’re all for it. And it should keep printed newspapers in business. Win-win. Dear Annie: The letter from “Karyn,” the server who insists on calling her customers “honey” or “sweetie,” absolutely infuriated me. She said they love it and life is too short to worry about such things. Well, respect is eternal. Such familiarity has bothered me my whole life. I am not

your honey or sweetie. It does not convey proper respect to someone who is paying good money to eat in your establishment. I also have always disliked being referred to as “you guys” when I’m dining with my husband, who will prompt-

ly smile at the server and say, “My wife is NOT a guy,” getting his point across without being a jerk about it. If Karyn has regular customers who don’t object to such names, fine. I have no problem with that. But please reconsider how

you greet people you don’t know. Some of us take deep offense at this. I would never leave a smaller tip, but I would certainly think twice about returning. -- Melody Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy

Years ago, I was a young Air Force officer in navigation school. I was on a training flight with instructors, two pilots and 12 students when we encountered severe turbulence. Almost immediately, you could see people turning green and starting to get sick. The pilot apologized for the turbulence, saying it would last a while, and if anyone was not feeling well, they should take a piece of newspaper and open their flight suit and stick the newspaper next to their stomach. He said it would “stabilize your body temperature.” Almost immediately, everyone grabbed a newspaper, opened their flight suits and

Dear Annie: I have had a best friend for nearly 20 years. However, in the past six or seven years, “Gloria” has become very self-absorbed and selfish. She refuses to show any reciprocity for favors or kindnesses. She seems to have time only for doctors, workouts and different physical therapies. She says she wants others to take care of her and threatens to hurt herself if she doesn’t get enough attention. Gloria says she values my friendship, but I guess it’s only when I am doing her a favor. I have decided that I’ve had enough and will break off all communication with her. Do I owe her an explanation, or should I simply be unavailable when she makes her oncea-month phone call? In the past, I’ve told her how she makes me feel, but she shrugs it off and does nothing.

January 5, 1961 - November 30, 2013 The moment that you died, our hearts were torn in two. One side filled with heartache, the other died with you.

But missing you is heartache, that never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts Love & miss you always, Mom, brothers Don & Terry, sisters Carolyne & Jackie and families.
