Local stores respond to concerns over tainted beef Safeway removes meat, Ferraro, Liberty not impacted BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
Many Greater Trail residents were wondering where the beef was after a meat recall disrupted the delivery and provision of red meat to the Silver City over the last few days. The recall of meat products from a processing plant in Alberta due to possible E. coli contamination has put the meat sections in three Trail grocery stores on full alert since late last week. However, any beef products in Trail from the XL Foods meat processing plant in Brooks have been pulled, with the list including cuts of steaks and roasts, stewing beef and beef breakfast sausage. The products in question were manufactured at the plant on Aug. 24, 27, 28, 29 and Sept. 5. The owner of McAuley’s No Frills in Waneta Plaza was not able to comment on the incident, deferring instead to the parent company to speak on the matter. David Wilkes, the senior vice-president of the Retail Council of Canada’s grocery division in Toronto, speaking for McAuley’s, noted the Trail store “likely” removed its meat. He also could not say if any meat delivered on the affected days was sold in Trail. “If there was product in Trail that was affected it would have now been removed,” he said. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said Tuesday it has now recalled more than 1,500 beef products in Canada. Five cases of E. coli in Alberta have been linked to meat that originated at XL Foods, all of which were purchased at a Costco store in Edmonton. The Safeway location in East Trail did have some meat in the store from the dates in question, but store assistant manager Kyle Phillips said it never reached the store’s shelves. Most of the meat comes in fresh in whole slabs to the store and it is cut up in house—except for the organic meat which comes from a different plant. After the meat was pulled, Safeway staff doublechecked the counter and the coolers, and placed a sign in the meat aisle that any customers could bring back the meat if they were concerned. “Obviously we want to keep them safe and if they don’t feel safe then we’ll take it back,” Phillips said.

LIBRARY MONTH IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Region’s libraries reaching out to public BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
October has been dubbed library month, according to the B.C. government. The goal of the designation is to help raise public awareness about the role libraries play in the lives of Canadians and the communities in which they live. The theme of this year’s Library Month is “Libraries Connect.” In response, local libraries are ramping up literacy campaigns with a special treat, a local librarian noted Wednesday. The Beaver Valley Public
Library (BVPL) will be inviting three local authors for readings, including one today. “Margo Talbot authored the book ‘All That Glitters’ and she’ll be here at the local high school,” said children’s librarian Rhonda Giles of the Beaver Valley Public Library, adding that plans for Talbot’s presentation haven’t been finalized. The library will also host Rita Moir, the One Book One Kootenay winner, also today at 7 p.m., with Mike Deas on Oct. 9 at the Fruitvale Elementary School. Libraries transform lives,
enrich communities and define our society, said Annette DeFaveri, executive director of the British Columbia Library Association, much like the Trail and District Public Library (TDPL) does. The TDPL is taking a somewhat different approach to connect with the community. “We want to attract people that are traditionally pulled in by libraries,” TDPL’s library director Belinda Wilkinson said. “Libraries have many important roles and one of the roles that we’re currently working on is to try and be more involved with the com-
munity. “We want to be actively involved with others so that we can offer unique programming that appeals to the community.” She revealed that TDPL is collaborating with the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy on an after-school reading program geared for children between the ages of seven and nine. Wilkinson was optimistic the program could be up and running shortly, and hoped to gauge the community’s interest by offering a pilot-program in mid-October.

Many drivers will recognize the power loss but there will be no warning lights on. Limited boost, again, is not going to increase emissions, so no check engine light. The path to getting the boost back is going to require querying the diagnostic system again. There will be a code and a diagnostic process and most will be happy to get their boost back. It will require some detective work though. The knock control and boost control systems are two systems that don’t normally turn a light on to let the driver know there is a problem. There are more.

Creston carjacking ends with shooting in Cranbrook BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Creston Advance

Ferraro processes meat on site FROM PAGE 1 There was a “huge” beef recall that came down Thursday night and by Friday the counter was empty. The Safeway staff got rid of everything on the counter that day, as well as the meat in reserve. “So we should be smooth sailing now,” Phillips said. “It’s just a matter of time whether it’s good enough or not.” When that will be is uncertain. Wilkes said the CFIA has not issued any new recalls. “The members have ensured that the product that was affected was off the shelves right across the country,” he said. Ferraro Foods manager Danny Ferraro said the downtown Trail store processes all of its meat on site, with nothing pre-wrapped, exempting them from the processing problem. “When I had to check dates, I had nothing (from them),” Ferraro said about XL Foods. “That’s why we keep everything fresh.” The company buys from “everywhere,” said Ferraro, with local meat from Creston’s Tarzwell Farms being a large part of their supply, not XL Foods. The customers of Liberty Food Store in Fruitvale also can breathe easy. The store buys its meat from Cargill out of Edmonton. “So we weren’t affected by the recall at all,” said Liberty meat manager Brent Nontell. People who are unsure if they have the affected beef products in their homes are advised to check
with the store where the products were bought or to throw them out. With the situation in Trail settling down the recall of meat products has been expanded to include every province and territory, 40 states in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. CFIA says the recall also includes some unlabelled unbranded beef products sold at retail stores not included on its products list. Those retail stores may include small retailers, local meat markets and butcher shops. Added to the list are products from Real Canadian Superstore and Extra Foods stores across most provinces. According to The Canadian Press the Conservative government was questioned by Liberal and NDP MPs on Tuesday over how meat tainted with E. coli bacteria made it to Canadian store shelves, and why it took two weeks to issue a recall. On their website, the CFIA said there was a delay getting information on tainted meat from the Alberta packing plant at the centre of an extensive beef recall. According to a statement on the site, XL Foods “had monitoring measures in place but was not properly conducting trend analysis of the data it collected. The CFIA review found that the plant needs to improve its trend analysis and also strengthen its response measures when a higher than normal number of detections are made.” On Sept. 27, CFIA temporarily suspended the licence of XL Foods to process meat. — With files from CP
Creston’s Alan Armstrong was making a routine run to Cranbrook on Tuesday evening when his trip turned into a nightmare that later ended with a shooting in Cranbrook. “I was hauling parts on Highway 3 through Goatfell (west of Yahk) when I saw a guy waving me down on the road. He said he had run out of gas and had no money and needed a ride,” Armstrong said on Tuesday morning. It was snowing and Armstrong was on a timeline, so he told the man and his girlfriend to get in quickly. “Then I said to him, ‘If you were going to Cranbrook, why was your car faced in the other direction by the road?’ I guess I shouldn’t have said anything. He grabbed my head and smashed it against the door.” “’Pull over motherfucker, or I’ll blow your fucking skull open!’ he screamed. He was screaming and shaking. I got my truck pulled over and he pushed a gun against my head.” The carjacker pepper-sprayed Armstrong, then pushed him out the truck before tearing off in the 2006 Toyota Forerunner. Armstrong said he was vomiting, he could barely see and mucous was pouring through his nose as he staggered around and tried to get his bearings. “I’d had enough wits about me to grab my cell phone as I was being pushed from the truck so I managed to dial 911. But of course there is no cell coverage out there.” He saw a residence nearby with a light in the window and made his way to the front door, where pounded on the door, screaming and crying for help. But his ordeal wasn’t quite over. A male resident opened the door, armed with a rifle, fearing that he himself was about to be a victim.
“It was dark and they weren’t about to let me into the house until they knew what was going on, so he brought his car around so the headlights could shine on me,” Armstrong said. “Then they saw what a mess I was and brought me into their house.” He used the residents’ landline to call 911 and was informed that Cranbrook and Creston RCMP and a police dog were already responding. An ambulance arrived to transport Armstrong to Creston Valley Hospital, but it had to make a few stops along the way as the smell of pepper spray was overwhelming the paramedics, Armstrong said. He was released from hospital early Wednesday morning. While initial media reports said the carjacker was pulled over in Yahk, he was actually stopped in Cranbrook, Creston RCMP Staff Sergeant Bob Gollan said on Wednesday. According to a Cranbrook Daily Townsman report: “At around 10:30 p.m., an RCMP officer tried to stop a vehicle that was suspected to have been carjacked near Creston earlier in the day. A car chase ensued, ending when the suspect reached a dead end at the top of Victoria Avenue, beside the College of the Rockies Gold Creek campus,” the Daily Townsman’s Sally MacDonald reported. “Nearby residents reported hearing gun shots, seeing a lone police car then hearing shouting. “According to RCMP, during the incident an officer fired his service pistol, hitting the male suspect. The suspect was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A female suspect who was a passenger in the vehicle is also in police custody. The police officer was not hurt.” The BC government announced Wednesday morning that the new Independent Investigations Office (IIO) will assume control of the shooting scene when six of its personnel arrive by air.

Chef hatches plan for backyard chickens
Remington brought forward a 150-name petition supporting the idea of the city allowing residents to keep up to five backyard hens for the purpose of egg laying, with no roosters or meat birds. “I am not looking for people to have meat-producing birds, I am not looking for people to do backyard slaughtering. This is for people to have egg-producing birds,” Remington said. The agriculture committee passed it on to council with a recommendation that the city investigate trying out backyard hens on a limited basis. The motion was supported by the majority of councillors, including Wes Hopkin. “It didn’t seem like there was a lot of good reason for why these animals would be any more disruptive than dogs that bark or cats that happen to run around the neighbourhood and use gardens for litter boxes,” said Hopkin.

THE CANADIAN PRESS GIBSONS, B.C. - Watering restrictions more severe than any imposed during the heat of summer could be on the way for B.C.’s Sunshine Coast. Regional district officials say a ban on all outdoor water use could be imposed within days in an area stretching from Langdale to Egmont, northwest of Vancouver. The potential stage four restrictions follow the region’s driest August and September on record, with no significant rainfall in the long-term forecast. General manager of infrastructure services, Bryan Shoji, says restrictions imposed over the summer cut water use by about 50 per cent, but without rain, further curbs are needed. Chapman Lake, north of Gibsons, supplies most of the region’s water, and Shoji says pumps could be used to draw lake levels down below what the dam can supply, but he says the potential risks posed by that plan are quite significant. The regional district is calling on all Sunshine Coast residents to voluntarily stop all non-essential water use, pending a decision on further restrictions.
Nurses contract includes wage and staff increases add 2,125 more nurses to the health system by 2016. The details come just days after the province and the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union announced a separate tentative agreement covering some 26,000 workers. “This is a very good deal in tough economic times,” said Debra McPherson, president of the B.C. Nurses Union, in a statement.

Pentictonites may someday be frying and poaching eggs they collect right out of their own backyards, thanks to the efforts of a local chef. You might think a top chef was lobbying for people to be able to keep hens in their back yard because he wanted the freshest eggs possible. But Chris Remington, head chef at the Penticton Lakeside Resort, said the reason is a lot closer to home. His goal is education. “The whole point behind this was to have my kids have an understanding of where food comes from. I have a garden in my house, which they plant with me and they watch their seeds grow,” said Remington. “Chickens are sort of the only thing, being in the urban setting that we are, that we can have a chance of having.” Last week, at a meeting of Penticton’s agricultural advisory committee,

“We will have clear, enforceable language that recognizes the clinical judgment of nurses to know what’s best for patients.” McPherson said the deal was reached despite the government’s insistence there was no new funding for public-sector contracts and arguments that any contract gains must be funded from changes to collective agreements. The union said the extra hiring will be achieved by increasing nurses’ work hours from 36 hours a week to 37.5 hours a week effective April 1. The deal includes provisions that will require extra nurses to be called in when needed, such as when hospital wards exceed their capacity. About 300 union
executives endorsed the agreement in Vancouver Tuesday, and it now goes to 32,000 union members for a ratification vote Oct. 18. Late last week, the BCGEU, which represents workers in health care, public safety, social services, education, environmental management, released details of its tentative contract agreement with the provincial government. That deal gives members a four-percent wage increase over two years and backs away from any plans the government may have had to sell Liquor Distribution Branch warehouses or privatize the service. Union members will be voting to ratify that deal over the coming weeks.

Average home price rises slightly THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The average price of a home in Canada crept higher in the third quarter, according to a survey by Royal LePage, but the real estate company warned a softening in prices may be just around the corner. Royal LePage said Wednesday the average price of a home in Canada rose between 1.8 and 4.8 per cent in the third quarter, depending on the category, but the number of homes sold was slipping. “During the third quarter, unit home sales were positive in July, fell nine per cent year-overyear in August and we are expecting September to show a decline as well,� Royal LePage chief executive Phil Soper said. “We had predicted this cyclical change early in the year, a natural market reaction after a period of strong expansion. Changes to mortgage regulations, which took effect on July 9, accelerated the correction.� Among the changes to tighten the lending rules, Ottawa cut the maximum amortization period for government insured mortgages to 25 years from 30 years, making monthly payments more expensive, but reducing the amount of interest paid in the long term. On Tuesday, the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver said home sales fell 32.5 per cent in September compared with a year ago. Royal LePage said the cost of an average twostorey home in Canada increased four per cent to $403,747, while detached bungalows rose 4.8 per cent to $366,773.
CALGARY - Justin Trudeau appeared to distance himself from his famous father as he made Alberta the first stop on his campaign to take over the federal Liberal party. Trudeau chose Calgary, home to the country’s energy company boardrooms, to say he would never use the wealth of the West to gain votes elsewhere. He said it is wrong to divide Canadians over natural resources. It’s a particularly sensitive issue in a
province where resentment still burns over the introduction of the national energy program in the 1980s by Pierre Trudeau, who was prime minister at the time. That was seen as a grab of Alberta’s natural resource wealth to keep prices artificially low for the rest of the country. “It is wrong to use our natural wealth to divide Canadians against one another,� he said. “It was the wrong way to govern Canada in the past. It is wrong today. And it will be wrong in
the future.� He didn’t mention his father by name during his speech. But later he told reporters he is proud of him and the values for which he stood. “But I am here to try and challenge a whole new set of realities and to try to bring a whole new generation of Canadians forward to the 21st century.� He pointed out that he had “nothing to do with the national energy program. I was 10 years old.� He added that he
Canadians heading south to catch cheaper flights THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - A new report finds that a soaring number of jet-setting Canadians are border-hopping to catch cheaper flights. The Conference Board of Canada report, issued Wednesday, said that about five million Canadians now cross the U.S. border by land every year to fly out of American airports. Higher airfares and fees and taxes in Canada, as well as differences in wages, aircraft prices and industry productivity makes it 30 per cent cheaper to fly out of the U.S. The Conference Board says fees and taxes make up about 40 per cent of the cost of an airplane ticket in Canada. The report suggests that while other factors are beyond government control, small reductions in the airfare differential could lead to traffic gains for Canadian airports and carriers. It estimates that changes to Canadian policies alone could bring more than two million passengers a year back to Canadian airports. Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty told reporters Wednesday that Ottawa is “concerned� about the issue and
that federal Transport Minister Denis Lebell “has been working on a consultation project with the airlines, with the airport authorities in Canada to try to see what we can accomplish.� The Conference Board analysis focused on Vancouver International Airport, Pearson International Airport in Toronto, and Montreal-Trudeau
International Airport, along with their crossborder competitors. “The fact that Canada’s largest airports are losing traffic to cross-border competitors matters because it undermines their role as national and international hubs,� said David Stewart-Patterson, the Conference Board’s vice-president of public policy.

thinks any policies and any politics that divide the country are unhelpful. Trudeau also said it’s important to bridge the gap between those indifferent to the destruction of our natural environment and those who would shut down projects completely.
“It is time to be more honest with ourselves,� he said. “There is not a country in the world that would find 170 billion barrels of oil and leave it in the ground. There is not a province in this country that would find 170 billion barrels of oil and leave it in the ground.�

Rona Ambrose’s vote and those who criticized her
T
he American commentator George Will has told the story of confiding his anxieties on the subject of becoming a columnist to William F. Buckley. Where would one get a continuous flow of appropriate subjects? To paraphrase Buckley’s response: Don’t worry, just read the newspapers and you’re sure to find things that annoy you. And so it goes. The flap about Rona Ambrose’s vote on M-312 – the parliamentary motion to review the topic of when a fetus becomes a human being – is an example of what Buckley presumably had in mind. Her critics demand that she resign her cabinet position as minister responsible for the Status of Women. Can they really be serious? The critics’ argument goes something like this. Given her portfolio, Ambrose’s job is to represent the views of Canadian women, the overwhelming majority of whom are prochoice on abortion. And as passage of the motion could have opened the door to reconsidering
Canada’s current “anything goes” legal situation, it was her obligation to vote No. To put it as gently as possible, this argument is detached from the reality of parliamentary democracy. It’s not a cabinet minister’s job to represent a specific constituency. Rather the minister’s job is to implement the elected government’s policy with respect to the area covered by the ministry’s brief. To suggest otherwise is to open a Pandora’s box of unfortunate consequences. For instance, it would mean that the Minister of Agriculture’s job is to lobby for farmers and agribusiness. And the Minister of Labour’s job is to promote the agenda of trade unions. And the Minister of National Defence’s job is to look after the interests of the military and its suppliers. And so on. In effect, this perspective sees society organized into client groupings with the role of government being to feed the desires of each group, particularly those with the most political muscle. What’s conspicuously absent is any

concept of an overall public purpose. Ambrose’s critics are also a tad disingenuous. It’s true that, given a binary choice, the majority of Canadian women are in favour of a right to abortion. However, if you put a more discriminating filter on attitudes, what you’ll usually find is substantially more nuanced. Given a range of options, there’s significant support for something in-between the extremes of “no abortions at any time, for any reason” and the current “anything goes.” That’s precisely what many European countries do; for example, allowing abortion on request for the
first 12 weeks but restricting it after that to situations such as serious danger to the woman’s physical or mental health. Then there’s the attempt to rule any discussion off limits. We’re told that the matter is “settled” and the case is “closed.” Applied consistently, this kind of thinking means that no law of any sort could ever be changed. For instance, back in the days when abortion was illegal, was the issue “settled” and thus ineligible from further consideration? Or how about the law on capital punishment as it existed 50 years ago? Or the law on same-sex marriage as it existed just a decade ago? Of course, the critics don’t intend to apply this “settled” principle consistently. They merely wish to use it to protect the laws they like, while feeling free to change the ones they disapprove of. Arranging the game so that you always get to play offence has obvious attractions, but intellectual coherence isn’t one of them. Finally, there’s the ques-
tion of the integrity of parliament. For some time now, there’s been considerable angst about the way in which tightly controlled political parties and whipped votes have combined to make parliament ineffective. Alas, the lament goes, there’s no longer any place for elected representatives to freely speak their minds and vote for what they think is right. To anyone sincerely worried about that, the vote on M-312 should have been a beacon in the darkness. After all, not only was it a free vote, but prominent members of the governing party, including Ambrose, felt sufficiently motivated and secure to vote against the express wishes of the prime minister. Strangely, this produced no celebration. It’s enough to turn an innocent soul into a cynic. Troy Media columnist Pat Murphy worked in the Canadian financial services industry for over 30 years. Originally from Ireland, he has a degree in history and economics.

LETTERS & OPINION
Community forests offer local control
B
.C.’s forest based communities are facing dramatic changes due to a range of ecological and economic factors. Rural communities and First Nations are looking for alternatives that will help stabilize their local economies and provide long-term employment opportunities. An increasing number of these see community MP ALEX forests as way to meet many of the challenges they face. Keeping At its core, community forestry is about local control over, and enjoyment of, the benefits offered by local forest resources on crown land. Community Forest Agreements are managed by local governments, First Nations, not-forprofit societies and cooperative organizations interested in the environmental, social and economic health of their community. A Community Forest Agreement allows communities to determine the values and objectives for management of the land surrounding their communities, the methods to achieve those objectives and the benefits that derive from management. The forest tenure in turn leverages unique opportunities for community economic develop-
ment and diversification. The benefits of community forestry vary from community to community as they each identify their own values and priorities. For example, one rural mountain community has identified water protection as their highest priority, while a First Nation community forest sees education and long term employment of band members as their key priorities. With community forests typically located in the land surrounding a community, House interface planning and fuel management to reduce risk of wildfires is often a management priority. Province-wide, there are 47 operating Community Forest Agreements and an additional eleven communities and First Nations in the application process. While the program has grown significantly, the combined annual harvest represents only 1.5 per cent of the provincial total. To put this in perspective, one company holds licenses for an annual harvest of 2.7 million cubic metres in the Prince George area alone. This is almost double the total amount allocated to the Community Forest Program. The Legislative Assembly of BC’s Special Committee on
ATAMANENKO
Timber Supply is considering ways to address the pine beetle epidemic related loss of timber supply in the Central Interior. These recommendations are to be examined with due regard to maintaining high environmental standards, protection of critical habitat and key environmental values for the optimal health of communities in an orderly a transition as possible. The committee has asked some fundamental questions including: “How do we support communities with a falling timber supply? How do we do more with less? Can area based tenures help mitigate this issue?” Despite their small footprint, community forests have shown they can provide a range of benefits to communities, First Nations, and the province as whole. They are a valuable tool to help communities to become more resilient and self-reliant. By increasing the size of existing community forests and making more of these tenures available to additional communities, the contributions of community forests can be much greater. The British Columbia Community Forest Association (BCCFA) is a network of community-based organizations in BC that manage community forests or are striving to establish community forests.

Despite Tory carping, Canadians value UN An editorial from the Toronto Star Two years ago Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservatives cared enough about the United Nations to lobby for a Security Council seat. Now, after being jilted, they seem to be in a cranky funk. Unlike U.S. President Barack Obama, who spoke eloquently on freedom of speech to this year’s General Assembly, Harper couldn’t be bothered to attend. He was in New York last week, but only to accept a “world statesman” award as he turned his back on most of it. Canada has no interest in “trying to court every dictator with a vote at the United Nations,” Harper told the award dinner. “Or just going along with every emerging international consensus, no matter how self-evidently wrong-headed.” Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird then hectored the General Assembly. Canada “cannot and will not participate in endless, fruitless inward-looking exercis-
es,” he said. “The UN spends too much time on itself. It must now look outward.” Granted, the UN has more than its share of flaws. The Security Council has failed so far to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions or stop Syria’s bloodshed. (It has also been accused of impotency on the Palestinian issue, though Ottawa has no complaint about that.) Despotic regimes get a vote. And the UN bureaucracy is top-heavy. Even so, the Harper government’s attitude comes across more as sour grapes than constructive criticism. It is also out of step with a wide segment of public opinion in this country that regards the UN as the world’s chief forum for dealing with dire threats to peace and security, and promoting development and aid. In a survey last year of Canadians who give to charity the “civic core” of society - most people supported the UN, the UN Association reports. More than six in 10 saw Canada’s UN activity as good or excellent.
When asked about the big challenges the UN faces, 66 per cent cited poverty and hunger, peace and security, rights abuses and the environment. Just 6 per cent cited “staying relevant.” It was through Security Council mandates, after all, that Canadian troops fought terror in Afghanistan and helped Libyans shake off tyranny. The UN authorized sanctions on Iran and Syria trying to force better behaviour. Canada has earned praise for donating generously to UN-led drives to combat AIDS, malaria and other diseases, saving millions. And under Pierre Trudeau, Brian Mulroney and Jean Chretien, Canada played its part at the UN managing the great issues: Cold War tension, poverty, apartheid, genocide. The Harper Tories may be fond of disparaging the UN as wrong-headed, fruitless and self-absorbed. Many civic-minded Canadians choose to see it as a forum, however flawed, in which to do good.

Smoke Eaters extend streak Trail undefeated at home BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor
The Trail Smoke Eaters showed a crowd of over 700 Tuesday night that character can win hockey games, as an inspired if not weary Trail team fought back from a 2-1 third period deficit to beat the West Kelowna Warriors 3-2 in overtime. In the 4-on-4 OT period, frantic end-to-end action ensued for the first three minutes until the Smokies’ Tyler Berkholtz and Connor Collett broke away on a 2-on-1. Collett feathered a perfect pass to the streaking forward as Berkholtz corralled the puck and lasered a shot top corner to beat Warrior goalie Tyler Briggs at 2:11 of the overtime period and give the Smokies its third straight win at the Cominco Arena. “Just to get another win is huge, to get it (the goal) is surreal, can’t really describe the emotions,” said Berkholtz following the goal. “I was going down on a 2-on-1 with Collett and kind of hoping he would shoot, but he gave me a great pass, and I had the open net and just tapped it in.” Scotty Davidson got the Smokies on the board midway through the first,
deflecting a point shot from Djordje Leposavic to tie the game at one. However, the Warriors would regain the lead with 3:40 remaining in the opening frame when Markus Basara lifted a rebound over a sprawling Stanwood. The team was playing its fourth game in five days, while many BCHL teams have played just six games all season. West Kelowna was well rested, and hadn’t played a game since Friday’s home win over the Smokies. After a sluggish second period and trailing 2-1, no one would have blamed the Smokie players if they succumbed to the grueling schedule. “You definitely noticed that we were getting tired out there,” said Trail assistant coach Brent Heaven. The fatigue factor was a legitimate concern and it seemed to seep in during the second when the team had trouble clearing pucks and generated just two shots on goal. But diminutive Smokie goalie Stanwood was a giant between the pipes stopping 22 shots in the first two periods, and 35 overall, to give his team time to regroup and come out flying in the third. “We had a really good chat in the intermission and

Trail Smoke Eater goalie Lyndon Stanwood stopped everything from going into his net including forward Max French on Tuesday night at the Cominco Arena, as the Smokies came back to scorch the Warriors 3-2 in overtime. we just told the boys, ‘All it’s going to take is 20 hard miles where we dig deep and really throw everything we possibly can at the net,’ and obviously we came out in the third period and I thought we outplayed them and actually doubled our shots in the third period alone,” said Heaven. The Smokies came out determined in the final frame, forechecking hard and creating a number of good scoring chances. The collective effort finally paid off when Collet took a pass
from Austin Adduono down low, drove hard to the net and deposited his own rebound over Briggs to tie it at two with 9:32 to play. The line of Collett, Adduono, and Bryce Knapp, (just off the IR, making his first appearance in orange and black), looked tentative to begin the game, but grew more confident as it progressed. The trio played with conviction and tenacity and was arguably the best Smokies line in the third. “It was a huge work ethic,” said Heaven. “The
guys were in there battling, and I think it started about two shifts before that, we started to get momentum, the next shift they were even working harder, and then we got rewarded. That’s what it is, you work you get rewards, if you don’t work you cost yourself, you cost your team.” Trail continued to press, their best chance coming when Brent Baltus caromed a quick snap shot off the post just minutes later. But the Warriors had the best opportunity, breaking in on
a 3-on-1 with three minutes left in the game. Max French dished off to Reid Simmonds who wired a shot at the net, but Stanwood made a lightning quick blocker save to preserve the tie. As expected, the 18-yearold Vancouver native has been a big part of the Smokies success early in the season. He has been named first star in three-of-five Trail victories, is averaging almost 35 shots per game, and maintaining a solid .901 save percentage.

SALMON ARM
GM-Owner confirms SilverBacks up for sale BY MARTHA WICKETT Salmon Arm Observer
It’s official. The Salmon Arm SilverBacks are for sale. General manager and minority owner Troy Mick told the BC Hockey League board of governors Monday that the Junior A franchise is “100 per cent for sale.” “It means that for the last year or two years, people were thinking it was for sale, or not for sale – was Randy (Williams) going to sell? Now it’s public knowledge that he’s going to sell,” Mick told the
Observer Tuesday. Mick said players were aware at the start of the season this could happen, and the sale will not affect current operations. “Definitely not, no – Randy, Terry (Williams) and I are committed to everything we’re doing so far and will continue to do until a new owner is found.” Mick’s job now is to prepare information for investors and then make sure the sale is right for Salmon Arm. “My goal right now is to get a great ownership group that can continue on with
this franchise. That’s my biggest goal.” When Mick joined the organization, the sale was part of the discussion. “The idea coming in as minority owner was that I would get an ownership group to take over the team... I’m calling the people who have expressed interest in the past and investigating new leads. The biggest thing I want to stress, is it will make no difference this year to hockey operations.” As for Mick’s involvement with the team, he says that will depend on the new owners.

“They’ve entrusted me with finding the next ownership group for the long-term good of this organization. That will take a lot of time, I care about this community tremendously. Whether I’m included or other people are included – right now everything’s on the table,” he says. “For me, there won’t be any strings attached. They might want to clean house. If they see what we’ve done over the last year, we hope not.” His aim is to have a sale complete by April 1, 2013 and the transition to new owners by April 30.

“It’s hard to not (thrive on the action),” said Stanwood. “When you get less shots it’s hard to get into it, but when you get the shots it’s good. When you come out of it with the win and whatever, 36 shots, it feels a lot better in the dressing room, and your confidence soars.” But Stanwood deflects any praise, crediting the play of his defence and forwards for keeping the oddman rushes to a minimum, back-checking, and holding the opposition to just four goals in the last three games. “I give my defence 100 per cent credit for
that, and forwards for back checking . . . I think they’re doing a tremendous job, I can’t take all the credit, they’re a huge part of the team’s success for putting the pucks in the net, but also for my individual success.” The Smokies will complete its six-gamein-nine-days swing this weekend in the Okanagan hoping to ride that momentum to a couple more wins. “It just shows that when they believe, they can win games,” added Heaven. “It’s all about that belief and the work ethic, and everything else will fall into place.” Up coming games:

But I don’t know how much longer I can keep my mouth closed. -- Unhappy Grandmother Dear Grandmother: Your daughter-in-law’s behavior seems disrespectful to your son’s memory and also to his children. But we suspect she is afraid of being alone and raising two children by herself. Although we understand the desire to speak up, we can assure you that it will serve no purpose. Please don’t create a situation that will estrange you from your
had dropped by. I’ve always had difficulty being around the other because she spends all her time watching the news and hears only the worst things. My parents aren’t happy about this. One of my grandfathers spent the last three years of his life sick with every known illness, some of which were gross to see. He died with all of us at his side, so I got to watch him turn into a bloated, swollen, ulcerated heaving corpse. That’s why I’d rather not see my grandmothers anymore. Do any of your readers have the same problem? -- N.Y., N.Y. Dear N.Y.: Of course they do, and some choose to visit anyway, and others can’t be bothered. But we think it says a lot about one’s character to visit these family members because it’s the right thing to do, whether it makes you comfortable or not. It’s a kindness to your
grandmothers and to your parents. Please try. Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Cape Coral, Fla.,” whose son is doing poorly in his college math classes. College is not high school. Too many stu-
dents simply come to class unprepared and then blame the teacher. At the college level, students must take responsibility for their own learning. If the professors do not return his exam papers, he should go to the
department head. The U.S. is the only country I know of where people proudly proclaim that they hate math, don’t understand it and don’t care. -- Retired Community College Teacher

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

granddaughters. They are going to need you, and you will want to be around to help them remember their father. Do what you must in order to remain in their lives, even if it means keeping your opinions to yourself. Feel free to write us anytime you need to vent. Dear Annie: I’m 34 and have two grandmothers. One has dementia, and the other has neglected her health to the point where diabetes keeps her from moving around. She’s stopped bathing because getting into the shower is too difficult, and she refuses my father’s suggestion to have an aide. I haven’t visited either grandmother in two months. I want to remember the first one the way she was. She doesn’t know who I am half the time anyway. She sometimes hallucinates, although pleasantly. She told us a long-dead politician

Dear Annie: My son passed away last year from cancer. Not even two months after his death, my daughterin-law began dating a married man. She then became pregnant and moved in with him and my two young granddaughters. She had the baby 11 months after my son’s death. I am upset about her choice to move on so quickly. Worse, she has told my granddaughters that they can call this new man “Daddy” if they want to. I have a big problem with this. First, he is still married to his wife and has two other children. And second, these two little girls just lost their father and haven’t had a chance to grieve or process what’s going on. I am not going to judge the Other Man. He could very well turn out to be a good guy who simply needed to grow up. But I worry about my grandchildren. Everyone tells

LEISURE
YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Friday, Oct. 5, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re tuned in to the needs and wants of others today, which makes this a good day for heart-to-heart discussions with partners and close friends. (You will listen well.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Double-check important details related to money at work today. Because things are fuzzy, it’s easy to make mistakes, especially because you assume everything is just fine. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re in touch with your Muse today, which makes this a great day for artists, writers and anyone who’s doing something creative. You’ll also feel sensitive to children. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) If you can help a family member today, you will.
Basically, you want everyone at home to have a warm feeling in his or her tummy. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Because your psychic powers are strong today, you’ll know what someone is going to say before this person speaks. This makes dealing with others easier. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a poor day to make important financial decisions. You’re inclined to go along with your wishes, but wishing is tricky when money is involved. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’ll be pleased to read romantic literature or watch romantic comedies today, because you feel like escaping. You also feel extra sensitive to the world around you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Trust your intuition today. Although this is a poor day for practical, financial details
and decision-making, it’s a good day for hunches and second-guessing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You’ll be pleased to join efforts with others to help someone in need today, because your sympathies are aroused. You might feel you have something strongly in common with someone. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) When dealing with author-
ity figures (bosses, parents and the police), be careful what you say today. If you express how you truly feel, you might sound corny or flaky. Keep your thoughts to yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Mystical, religious or occult subjects will intrigue you today. You want to know more about hidden knowledge and esoteric wisdom. (There is more to life than
meets the eye.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) In a way, the world is like an impressionist painting to you today. This is why it’s not a good time to make important decisions about shared property, wills and legal documents. YOU BORN TODAY Fairness and justice are important to you, which is why many of you become politically involved. You want to expose fraud

and hypocrisy. Privately, you are fun-loving, creative and adventurous. You believe in living life fully. Whether you seek it or not, you are often a leader for others, especially in society. In the year ahead, partnerships and close friendships will be of primary importance. Birthdate of: Clive Barker, writer; Colin Meloy, singer; Karen Allen, actress.
