SD20 on track to reach settlement with CUPE BY ART HARRISON Times Staff
As the mid-December deadline for reaching settlements between school districts and Award Winning its non-teaching Canadian Best Western Plus Union of Public Employees (CUPE) support staff looms large, many districts in the province have yet to come to terms with the budget adjustments necessary to fund the wage increase.

Trail shakes off earthquake drill BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff
If a tremor shook the City if Trail, the general public might find themselves practicing the ingrained fire drill: stop, drop and roll. While residents in the Lower Mainland may have dropped, covered and held on with more than 690,000 British Columbians during the Great British Columbia ShakeOut drill Thursday morning, the majority of Trail organizations contacted opted out or knew nothing of the province-wide earthquake preparedness exercise. Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue, School District 20 and the City of Trail were among several places contacted that same day in hopes of gaining some insight on local preparedness. Deputy Regional Fire Chief Dan Derby, who also wears the hat of Emergency Program coordinator for the Regional District of
Kootenay Boundary (RDKB), said the unlikely event does come with a plan. “It's coming from the coast, it's definitely a far bigger issue on the coast,” he explained, a response echoed across the community. “Our bigger risks locally are related to wildfires . . . flooding and a hazardous material incident and I think that's probably one of the bigger reasons.” Larry Abenante, Trail public works manager, said the city has never participated in an earthquake drill in the 18 years he's been on board. He can't recall there ever being a tremor in the city. What the city does focus on, he said, is working together with emergency agencies during a disaster. Such was the case with the 2008 Unified Regional Emergency Exercise, a cooperative exercise done to test the performance of each individual rescue squad and
to evaluate how they work together. He said the Emergency Program committee has already started planning for the next one, which is scheduled for every five years, but with a cut to funding will likely look much different than the massive orchestrated event done in 2008. Done on Teck property, 14 organizations including the RCMP, firefighters and ambulance took part in the simulated drill, where volunteers on the scene were dressed as casualties with burns, chest wounds, and gashes to the head. In case of an emergency, Trail does have an Emergency Operations Centre, located in the lower level of the Greater Trail Community Centre and features full inter-connectivity for fire, police, ambulance and public works; four stations with full radio capabilities for all jurisdictions in the RDKB; a backup generator and a meeting room for decision makers.

Resident’s traffic safety concerns answered By Valerie Rossi Times Staff
A petition to slow drivers outside of Fruitvale has been met with action from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Concerned Area A resident Ingrid Mayer was successful with her cause to reduce the speed of drivers on a stretch of Highway 3B, two kilometres north of the village. “I am still astonished at how everything went so smoothly and swiftly,” she said in an email to the Times. “I never gave up and never lost faith.” A 90 km sign has been moved further north, to avoid a blind corner, and southbound traffic slows to 70 km sooner, as per requested. “The Ministry will also install one confirmatory 70 km/hr sign in each direction where there

is a higher density of residential access onto Highway 3B,” Greg Kinnear, MOTI area manager for Trail, noted in a letter to Mayer. “When these confirmatory signs are installed, a temporary speed-reader sign will be installed. “The two curve warning signs in this speed zone will be replaced with newer signs to enhance reflectivity,” he added. Excessive speeding and roaming wildlife created a recipe for disaster, according to Mayer, who said the catalyst for her was when a baby moose was killed. “It took only six weeks and one day to go from getting the petition out to all the appropriate people and having the speed limit signs actually moved,” she said. The process proved rewarding for Mayer who stuck it out on behalf of her neighbours. She only hopes enforcement will follow through. The Trail and Greater District RCMP have been notified of the change and Sgt. Rob Hawton has agreed to keep a watchful eye on the area. The Ministry plans on removing the wildlife sign near Grieve Road in Fruitvale and installing a wildlife sign and 12 km tab near Old Salmo Road and a new wildlife sign and 12 km tab near Ross Spur Road.

Popular tradition on hold Annual wine competition cancelled this year By Art Harrison Times Staff
A decades long tradition in Trail appears to be in question as the Colombo Lodge’s annual Columbus Day Banquet and Wine Competition scheduled for Saturday has been cancelled. Numerous calls in the community have resulted in no one willing to go on record as to the reason for the cancellation. Begun by the Italico Club of Trail years ago, the competition celebrated the art of making wine from scratch that has been practised by many of Trail’s Italian community since immigrating to the area early in the 20th century and which has since been adopted by local residents from many different
backgrounds. The event, which for many years was held in the spring, had attracted crowds of around 400 people, who came from all around the area to sample the fruits of the winemakers labour and feast on the traditional multi-course Italian meal. For some previous competitions judges had been brought in to taste the local vintages before awarding the highly prized trophies for best in the red and white wine categories for the year. In more recent times the competition has seen declining numbers but local winemakers still prized the event as an opportunity to share their efforts and compete with each other. As of press time there is no word on whether or not the competition and banquet will be continued in the future.

Government releases proposals New era of recycling for Genelle for Columbia River Treaty By Connie Motz
Times Correspondent
By Barry Coulter
Cranbrook Townsman
The B.C. Government this week announced the release of a list of principles that will guide it in coming talks with the United States on the future of the Columbia River Treaty. And residents of the Columbia Basin are invited to contribute their input at a series of upcoming community workshops. On Wednesday, Oct. 16, Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsible for Core Review, announced the release of the province’s draft recommendation aimed at seeking improvements within the existing framework of the treaty. The draft recommendation includes principles that cover consideration of flood control, hydropower generation, ecosystems, climate change and benefits to B.C. “We believe there are improvements that can be made within the existing framework of the Columbia River Treaty and we’re working with various stakeholders, First Nations and the public to identify them,” Bennett said. “The treaty consultations helped form our draft recommendation, and further feedback will ensure everyone will have their say in the future of the treaty.” The Columbia River Treaty is a 1964 agreement between Canada and the United States on the development and operation of dams in the upper Columbia River basin for power and flood control benefits
in both countries. Four dams were constructed under this treaty: three in Canada (Duncan Dam, Mica Dam, Keenleyside Dam) and one in the United States (Libby Dam). The treaty provided for the sharing with Canada of one-half of the downstream U.S. power and flood benefits, and allows the operation of Treaty storage for other benefits. The treaty has no end date, but it includes an option for either country to terminate most treaty provisions anytime after 60 years (September 16, 2024), given at least 10 years advance notice. The Canadian and US governments are reviewing the treaty before the 2014 opportunity for notice for earliest termination. Options generally fall into three categories: • Continue the Treaty with the automatic change to called upon flood control; • Terminate the treaty (with continued called upon flood control); or • Negotiate changes to the treaty that modify the flood control and power obligations and/or create new provisions for other benefits, especially environmental objectives. The province’s Columbia River Treaty Review team and the CRT Local Governments’ Committee will be seeking further input from the public. The closest meeting for Greater Trail residents will be on Nov. 7 at the Sandman Inn in Castlegar.
As a result of persistent hard work by Electoral Area ‘B’ Director Linda Worley and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB), Genelle is now officially part of the Blue Box Curbside Recycling program. Residents were extremely pleased by the unexpected arrival of blue boxes on their doorsteps in late September after seven years of waiting for the convenience. The Blue Box Curbside Recycling program allows Genelle residents to recycle the same materials as previously accepted at the now closed Genelle Fire Hall recycling depot. The community refundable beverage container bin has been relocated to the Genelle Community Hall. Residents may use additional blue box containers although only one type of recyclable item should be placed in each. Shredded paper may also be put out for curbside recycling if contained in the blue Recyclable Bag, a clear plastic bag or a box to minimize any possible effects from wind. Worley would like to express a special note
Slocan Valley
Ombudsman won’t investigate fuel spill By Kirsten Hildebrand Nelson Star
A Slocan Valley resident who isn’t ready to forget this summer’s jet fuel spill into Lemon Creek has filed a complaint with the BC Ombudsman’s office — to no avail. John Wittmayer approached the agency in August to see if it would investigate how varying authorities handled the spill. After a long wait, it was suggested he narrow his focus for
Canadians who want to ensure that response times and emergency procedures and protocols are put in place to protect people facing these types of disasters in the future.” On July 26, an Executive Flight Centre truck carrying jet fuel for helicopters battling a wildfire on Perry Ridge took a wrong turn onto a forest service road and overturned into Lemon Creek, spilling 33,000 litres.

of appreciation to RDKB staff member Tim Dueck, Solid Waste Program coordinator, for his work on this project and for the hand delivery of the Blue Boxes/Reusable Bag to every household in Genelle to ensure a “clear understanding of the system and an opportunity to ask any questions of him.” “There have been a vast number of residents phoning and commenting as to the positive aspect of the change to recycle for the community of Genelle. “I would like to thank the citizens of Genelle for their acceptance and easy transition into the Blue Box Curbside Recycling Program. Change is not always easy to adjust to, but in this case, the citizens have embraced and shifted to the new system with apparent ease and grace.” The first biweekly blue box recycling pick up took place Oct. 3 for residents of Upper Genelle and Oct. 4 for homes in Lower Genelle.

Violence erupts at shale gas protest
THE CANADIAN PRESS REXTON, N.B. - The RCMP say dozens of people were arrested after Molotov cocktails were thrown at officers and police vehicles torched Thursday when they began enforcing an injunction to end an ongoing demonstration against shale gas exploration in eastern New Brunswick. RCMP Const. Jullie Rogers-Marsh said at least five RCMP vehicles were destroyed after they were set ablaze and at least one shot was fired by someone other than a police officer at the site of the protest in Rexton. “The RCMP has worked diligently with all parties involved in hopes for a peaceful resolution. Those efforts have not been successful,” Rogers-Marsh said. “Tensions were rising and serious criminal acts were and are being committed.” The Mounties said at least 40 people were arrested for firearms offences, threats, intimidation, mischief and violating the court-ordered injunction. The RCMP began enforcing the injunction at around 7:30 a.m. to end the blockade of a compound where energy company SWN Resources stores exploration equipment. Rogers-Marsh said police decided to enforce the court-ordered injunction because threats had been made against private security guards at the site the night before. She wouldn’t reveal what tactics police were using to contain the crowd and refused to comment on reports that officers had fired rubber bullets. Robert Levi, a councillor with the Elsipogtog First Nation, said he went to the protest site early Thursday after hearing the RCMP had moved in to begin enforcing the injunction. Levi said police pepper-sprayed dozens of people after 9:30 a.m. when he arrived with the chief and council. “They sprayed the crowd that was there,” he said in an interview. “The chief was manhandled a little bit and all hell broke loose.” Protesters subsequently cut down trees that were placed across another part of the road, blocking the entrance to the compound.
Balanced-budget laws a double-edged sword: experts THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The Conservative government is promising to introduce a new balanced-budget bill, something that’s already the law of the land in several provinces, all but one U.S. state and a slate of European countries. But is there any real point to balancedbudget laws? In the U.S. and Canada, they’ve left many states and prov-
inces badly strapped for cash during tough economic times, and they’re often scrapped anyway in the event of sputtering growth, grinding recessions or natural disasters. Economic experts on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border say balanced budget legislation makes for good public relations, but meaningless public policy. “Governments get to change their minds;
Government to suspend embattled senators
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The government is moving to suspend Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin from the Senate without pay. Both are under RCMP investigation for allegedly filing fraudulent living and travel expense claims. A Conservative source says motions will be introduced shortly in the Senate to suspend the duo, both of whom were appointed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and have been sitting as independents since the scandal broke last winter. The Senate had previously suspended Sen. Patrick Brazeau, who is also under police investigation for inappropriate expense claims, after he was charged with assault and sexual assault in February. That suspension ended when Harper prorogued Parliament, but the government moved Thursday to reinstate it. Duffy has pre-empted his suspension by announcing earlier Thursday that he’s taking medical leave due heart problems.

that’s why we have elections to choose who runs governments,” Finn Poschmann, head of research at the C.D. Howe Institute, said Thursday. So long as a duly elected government has the power to override any balancedbudget law that’s on the books, the inherent promise to honour it is “thoroughly empty, in the legal sense,” Poschmann said. “It has practical purpose only as an expression of political will. That’s worth something, but not much.” In a 2011 study on balanced-budget legislation in Canada’s western provinces, academics Jared Wesley and Wayne Simpson found that legislative requirements to stay in the black largely went up in smoke when the
economy hit the skids in 2008. During the recession, “governments could not, or would not, raise major taxes and had to suspend balanced budget legislation,” Wesley and Simpson, professors at the University of Manitoba, noted in their study. In Wednesday’s throne speech, the federal government pledged to “enshrine in law” its intention to balance the books. But the Tories gave themselves some wiggle room by stipulating that the new legislation would set “concrete timelines for returning to balance in the event of an economic crisis.” The Tories also promised to freeze the overall federal operating budget and restrain hiring and cut costs
in the public sector by reforming disability and sick-day entitlements for bureaucrats. It vowed to enact “further targeted reductions” to internal spending, although it didn’t offer any details. In an interview from Manitoba, Simpson said those cost-cutting measures are likely part of the government’s formula for success for the federal government’s balanced-budget aspirations. “Governments have to realize that recessions are inevitable, and they have to be prepared for them,” said Simpson, an economics professor. “If they don’t change their expenditure practices, then they’re not going to be ready, and they’re going to have to scrap any balancedbudget legislation.”

Senior’s Lifestyle Community Keeps Winter at Bay Life in winter can be daunting for seniors. The cold temperatures can make the simplest of tasks much more difficult. Chores like shoveling the drive-way or picking up groceries can turn into momentous tasks. Ice and snow represent real physical dangers that can not only cause a nasty fall but also get in the way of activities outside the house. There is always the worry of a broken or failing heating system that can result in all manner of bills and troubles, adding more unnecessary stress. Combine these stresses and it may lower quality of life, causing family members endless worry. Fortunately retirement housing at Mountain Side Village can provide plenty of peace of mind for both the residents and the family members, with apartments designed to take the worry out of winter. Not only are the studio, one and two-bedroom suites appointed for comfort and independence but also include many key features to help with each resident’s individual wants and needs. Independent heat and airconditioning controls allow them to set the apartments temperature to whatever will be most comfortable for them. Full kitchens and large wheelchair accessible bathrooms can help residents maintain their independence while weekly housekeeping services and 24-hour assistance is available for complete peace of mind. Since the Village boasts many leisure opportunities, residents don’t have to worry about braving the harsh winter weather in search of relaxation and fun. Just outside of their front door they will find many amenities such as a games room, library, and spa, as well as many lounge areas which are certain to be filled with friendly
faces and familiar smiles. There are also special recreational and social activities such as live entertainment, exercise programs and excursions to local attractions, which are all covered in the affordable monthly rent. Also included in the rent are the delicious meals which are prepared by the onsite chef in the warm central dining room where residents can enjoy meal next to a cozy fireplace where friends and family are always welcome to join. Mountain Side Village also understands just how much pets are a part of the family. Residents are encouraged to share their apartments with their companions in the totally pet friendly building. With all of these wonderful features the Village relieves worries not only for residents but also for family members. “I had the best winter last year because I live three hours away and didn’t have to worry about my mom being alone.” said Linda Frew, whose mother is a resident at the Golden Life location in Kimberley. “I have total peace of mind knowing there is staff on site 24 hours a day, that she has company for dinner every night, and she is being well cared for. But most of all I have peace of mind knowing she is very happy.” No longer should seniors have to worry about shoveling the walkway or what they’ll do should a maintenance emergency befall them. Cold weather is no reason that seniors shouldn’t be free to enjoy the many activities, freedoms, and quality of life. Mountain Side Village provides just that and much, much more.

Senate reform becoming a dream delayed
T
here was no shortage of irony in the fact that Wednesday’s Speech from the Throne virtually ignored the elephant in the room. In fact, in this bizarre case, the room itself was the elephant. As Gov.-Gen. David Johnston read the government’s agenda for the upcoming legislative series, he was casting his eyes over the Red Chamber, packed with members of Parliament, senators, lawmakers and other dignitaries. And yet, despite the party guests, it is the Senate itself that the federal Conservative Party would like to bring to heel. The Tories are committed to reforming the Senate or even abolishing it. But there will be no action until the Conservatives hear from the Supreme Court of Canada on a series of questions, including how appointments are made, term limits and under what circumstances the institution itself could be abolished. The decision will tell the governing party just how
much it can do to the scandal-plagued body without having to deal with surly and unco-operative provinces. In the meantime, it’s busy as usual - or, in the case of Harper’s gang unusual, as the party tries to mitigate the damage from conservative Senate appointees who let their party down. Chief among these are senators Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin both previous media stars who ought to know better - and Patrick Brazeau, whose life just hasn’t seem to have gone well since he lost a boxing match against Liberal leader Justin Trudeau a year-and-a-half ago. The embarrassment only adds fuel to the fires of reform. Not only do the Conservatives wish the Red Chamber didn’t exist in its current form, but it also must face the infuriating realization that the current worst abusers of the Senate’s privileges belong to the ruling party, and not the opposition. (In fairness, the Liberals have had their own miscreants, most notably Andy

Thompson, who resigned from the Senate in 1998 after it was revealed he was spending more time in Mexico than Ottawa.) So what did the government say about this major Tory sore-point? Don’t expect anything before 2017. The Throne Speech was near its conclusion when the Governor General read these words: “The road to 2017 is a fitting time to strengthen our institutions and democratic processes. The Government continues to believe the status quo in the Senate of Canada is unacceptable. “The Senate must be reformed or, as with its provincial counterparts, vanish. The Government
will proceed upon receiving the advice of the Supreme Court.” Interesting comments. Past experience has shown that a response from the Supreme Court comes within 10 to 24 months. That means the Conservatives could know what powers it can exercise as early as next year. Instead, it is indicating it won’t move until three years from now - a lifetime in political life. In fact, with an election expected in 2015, Senate reform won’t even be on the table until the Conservatives go back to the voters. And as the Liberals enjoy a resurgence under Trudeau’s tutelage, an extension of the Conservative run in power is far from certain. The upshot? The Tories appear to be paying lip service to long-desired Senate reform, but have decided not to bet the farm on it. As it shifts gears into a more populist pre-election legislative program, the party appears to be increasingly focused on shoring up wavering voter support than advancing its core prin-
ciples. For both conservative and liberal-minded Canadians alike, that’s too bad. The Senate is (arguably) a good idea gone fowl - fallen from grace in the eyes of the public, even though its function is still considered by some constitutional experts to be democratically of great value. It all makes one reflect wistfully back on the days in 1993 when a gang of westerners arrived in Ottawa as the Reform Party, committed to doing business of politics in a different way. The Senate would be Triple E - equal, elected and effective. A lot of that dream - 20 years in the making - now appears at risk. The Conservatives’ virtual silence on Senate reform in this Throne Speech reminds us that in the tug o’ war between principle and pragmatism, the pull of power will always prevail. That seems to be true regardless of which party holds the reins. Doug Firby is Editor-inChief of Troy Media, and National Affairs columnist.

Letters & Opinion Letters to the editor
Quick Stop staff went above and beyond I have no desire to stir up mud, but I do feel obligated to comment on the brief news story published regarding the Waneta Boundary Quick Stop (“Quick Stop ending cross-border gas option, Trail Times, Sept. 25). I have been making weekly visits to the Quick Stop for gas and mail for over five years, and I am very grateful for the services they are willing to provide. For most of the time, they have been open and working hard seven days a week, keeping a schedule I myself would be hard-pressed
to match. Regardless of physical health challenges, holidays, blizzards, torrential rains, blistering heat and frigid cold, they have retained their focus on providing services to those of us for whom U.S. mail is a lifeline, or even just a convenience. Some may point out that money is made for all of this, as though that somehow outweighs the value of personal sacrifices of time, rest, health and comfort made by the Jeffreys to provide these services to the rest of us. My response is that the “workman is worthy of his wage” and very
few, if any, would volunteer to suffer the long hours of physical labour required by all they do, especially in the face of ingratitude and customer rudeness, and at an age when many folks are retired. Each of us needs to focus on appreciating the blessing we have in the Quick Stop and the Jeffreys instead of treating it and them as something to which we are entitled. I know that I am thankful and recognize the access to the services they provide is a privilege. Linda Bloom, Castlegar

But the brutal truth is this: the safer the EU countries make the Mediterranean crossing, the more people will try to come. Most of the migrants currently risking their lives in those little boats are genuine refugees, but behind them, in the vast sweep of countries from West Africa to Somalia and Iraq, there are several hundred million others who would leap at the chance of moving to Europe. The nationalists in those countries will indignantly deny that, but you only have to talk to ordinary people there to know that it is true. Europeans, like most people, want to see themselves as generous and caring, but behind all the humanitarian talk there is the stark reality that the EU will never make it so easy and safe to get in that even a small fraction of that vast reservoir of would-be migrants actually tries to make the journey. European leaders who let that happen would be committing political suicide. The least bad solution would be to encourage the emergence of stable governments in Tunisia and Libya that could stop the boats from leaving their shores, but that will not happen any time soon. In the meantime, people will go on drowning in the Mediterranean, although hopefully in smaller numbers than the catastrophe of the last few weeks.

DANCERS GEARING UP FOR TRAIL EVENT
OBITUARIES AUDREY, KOOCHIN — Maureen was born on October 26, 1934 in Regina, Saskatchewan to parents Mary and John Litherland. She lived there most of her childhood and as a teenager she moved with her family to Okanagan Falls and attended and graduated from South Okanagan High School. She also attended Okanagan Business College. In 1953 the family moved to Salmo where she met and later married Paul Koochin and had three children. Maureen worked at various jobs in Salmo, including the Drug Store, F. R. Rotter Lumber Co., Louisiana Pacific and Canada Post. She was a Life Member of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #217 and served as the president and treasurer for a number of terms. Maureen was a collector and over the years has saved a large collection of memorabilia that includes newspaper clippings from every significant event and accomplishment of members of her family and the community. She loved to work with numbers and often amazed her grandchildren by the math problems she could do in her head. She enjoyed crossword puzzles, soduko and reading. In February of 2010 Maureen suffered a stroke and was unable to live at home, she took up residence in Jubilee Manor in Nelson and quite enjoyed being fussed over and looked after. She managed to keep everyone entertained with her quick wit and matter of fact personality. Maureen is survived by her children Brian (Gail) Koochin, Sheri (Wally) Huser and Rodney (Brandy) Koochin, her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, her sister Norma Waterstreet, her sister-in-law Dawn (Walter) Kuit and many nieces and nephews.

He will be greatly missed by his children John (Mary), Marianne, and Walt (Julia), grandchildren Mark (Rhian), Scott (Tina), Tyler and Zac, and great-grandchildren Makayla, Hannah, Theo and Hayden. He is survived by his brother Walter of Fort Frances, Ont., his brother-in-law Louie (Maureen) Corrado, and sister-inlaw Christine Corrado, as well as many nieces and nephews. Chris was predeceased by his loving wife of 63 years, Florence, in 2007, his parents John and Anna, and 11 brothers and sisters. Born and raised in Fort Frances, Ont., Chris grew up enjoying time with family and a love for sports, particularly hockey, playing Junior at the age of 14. In 1941, Chris moved to Rossland, B.C. and began working at Cominco. Over a 40 year period at Cominco, Chris was an exceptional citizen who loved his job and worked hard as a plumber, pipefitter and millwright. It was at Cominco that Chris and Florence met, marrying in 1944. A devoted husband and father, Chris always demonstrated an infinite love for his family. His greatest enjoyment in life came from spending time at family gatherings and watching his children and grandchildren play sports. He enjoyed woodworking, fishing and his early morning golf games with his buddy Al Dixon, as well as many happy summers with family and friends at Christina Lake. The family would like to send a special thank you to Dr. B. Calvin and the staff on the second floor of the Nanaimo Senior’s Village for their kindness and exceptional care for our dad. As per his request there will be no funeral service. In lieu of flowers, donations to the B.C. Cancer Society or the B.C. Arthritis Society would be appreciated.

ED LAUTER
Actor’s career spanned five decades THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - Veteran character actor Ed Lauter, whose long, angular face and stern bearing made him an instantly recognizable figure in scores of movies and TV shows during a career that stretched across five decades, died Wednesday. He was 74. Lauter died of mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer most commonly caused by asbestos exposure, said his publicist, Edward Lozzi. Whether he was an irascible authority figure, a brutal thug or a conniving con man, Lauter’s presence made him all but impossible to miss in any film he was in. That was so even on those occasions when he was playing a character more bumbling than menacing, although menacing was clearly his forte. He was the brutal prison guard who was Burt Reynolds’ nemesis in the 1974 comedydrama “The Longest Yard” and the sleazy gas station attendant in Alfred Hitchcock’s last film, “The Family Plot.” In “Death

Wish 3,” he was the violent cop who teams with Charles Bronson’s vigilante to rid New York City’s streets of criminals, not by incarcerating them but by killing them. More recently he was the butler to Berenice Bejo’s French ingenue in the 2011 Oscarwinning film “The Artist.” Lauter described himself in a 2010 interview with Cinema Shock magazine as a “turn” actor, someone who shows up at some point in the film and suddenly turns the plot in a different direction. He credited the cast of reallife characters he grew up observing in his native Long Beach, New York, as inspiring many of the characters he would go on to portray. He laughed at being someone frequently recognized in public for his roles. “But sometimes people don’t know my name,” he said. “They’ll say, ‘Oh, yeah! There’s that guy! You were in ... you were in ... ” He was in “Trouble With the Curve” in 2011 with Clint

Eastwood and in “Born on the Fourth of July” with Tom Cruise. He was also in “The New Centurions” with George C. Scott and in “My Blue Heaven,” ”Revenge of the Nerds 2“ and ”Not Another Teenage Movie,“ among many other films. TV appearances included “The Office,” ”ER,“ ”Murder, She Wrote“ and ”The Rockford Files.“ Among his favourite roles, he said in 2010, was “The Longest Yard.” He recalled that director Robert Aldrich told him he didn’t have to read for the part but would have to accompany Aldrich to a nearby park so the director could ensure that he could throw a football like a quarterback would. When he hit former NFL receiver Pat Studstill, who was a stuntman in the movie, right in his jersey number with the first pass, Lauter said Aldrich told him he had the job. Lauter, who continued to work until a few months ago, had completed roles in several films still to be released.

REgional Revelstoke
Ski resort stays the course despite real estate slowdown By Alex Cooper
easy money dried up and suddenly, people stopped buying recreational properties. People that put down deposits to buy condos in the Sutton Place Hotel were unable to close on the deals, leaving most of the units unsold. That has forced many resorts – Revelstoke included – to re-think their financial model. “It means they have to find a way to ensure that their business is viable based on other parts of the business,” said David Lynn, president of Canada West Ski Areas Association. “In other words, selling lift tickets, food and beverage, on hill accommodations and so on, as opposed to the real estate side of the business.” He cited Whistler as an example. In Whistler, according to the Globe and Mail, condos are selling for nearly half what they used to and prices have fallen by nearly a quarter from their 2007 peak. Whistler, under Intrawest, was often held up as the model resort when it comes to selling real estate.
Revelstoke Times Review
Have you been eyeing a condo in the Sutton Place Hotel at Revelstoke Mountain Resort? Are you just waiting for Northland Properties to get tired of waiting and slash their prices? Don’t hold your breath. There’s two approaches the resort can take, says Graham Rennie the president of Northland Asset Management, which operates the resort: either cut prices and give product away, or hang on and wait for things to improve. “We tend to be favouring the latter where there is no fire sale. We are holding prices,” said Rennie. “We see the value and we’re basically in a holding pattern with not a lot of focus or expectation to be selling a lot of real estate. We certainly have it on the market but we understand the realities of the world out there. We hope to see it recover down the road.” As is widely known, RMR, like many other resorts, was hit hard by the global financial crisis in 2008. The

“It means they have to find a way to ensure that their business is viable based on other parts of the industry. In other words, selling lift tickets, food and beverage ... as opposed to the real estate side of the business.” David Lynn
Over several decades Intrawest built up the largest ski resort in North America, with real estate prices to match. They took that model – of using a ski resort amenity to sell real estate – and applied it to several other ski areas. In the end, the model collapsed with the markets and in 2010 WhistlerBlackcomb was turned into a publicly traded company, trading on the TSX. “Whistler is primarily what we call a lift company,” said David Lynn, the president of the Canada West Ski Areas Association
“They have to make money from selling lift tickets, season passes, food and beverages, etcetera, as opposed to making money from selling real estate.” That’s the position RMR finds itself in now. That is why improvements at the resort have been so incremental ever since the first burst of activity in its first two years. “Any focus on development now is improving current infrastructure,” said Rennie. “Future infrastructure improvements are going to come from a marketplace
where homes are selling and real estate is developing, because that’s how you fund the infrastructure.” The real estate model of development is comatose for the moment, though some people still believe in it. Whitewater, near Nelson, unveiled its latest master plan in 2010 and it calls for the development of condos and single family homes around the base of the resort. A few years ago it added a fixed-grip triple chair that was purchased used from Vail Resort to increase its vertical drop and open new terrain, but no real estate has been built yet. Red Mountain, near Rossland, is also expanding with the addition of a slow quad chair that will access 1,000 acres of new terrain. Jon Peterson, a resort development economist, said he
expects the secondary home market to rebound, however prices have fallen by so much (especially in the United States), it will take a while before they return to a point that resorts can start new development. Much of the really cheap resort property has been snapped up, so prices should start rising soon, he said. Still, he added, RMR’s decision to maintain the high prices on properties is a risky one. “It’s hard to be very optimistic that they can hold that price and see much chance of buyers flooding in to buy those units anywhere close to that.” Rennie said he expects things to pick up in the future, but it is depending on a turnaround in the financial industry. “I think the financial industry still walking in a no-man’s land on real estate,” he said.
Is it headed for a soft landing, is it going to hold, is there growth on the horizon, where are interest rates headed? There’s a lot of uncertainty around it. “I think it’s been progressive but recreational property is not a prime focus for lenders, especially when you look at offshore clientele, which is a big part of what Revelstoke’s catering to.” In the meantime, the resort is focusing on filling existing capacity, and then it will look at growth. He said there are still potential improvements in the current ski terrain, and the resort is looking at expanding summer operations, including hiking and biking. “We’re in it certainly for the long haul but nothing will be short-term decisions that aren’t sustainable on a longer-term basis,” he said.

Trail & District Churches
We are all Missionaries The spread of the Gospel is a Prime Directive for the Church; whether we are Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant, we are all called to “Go, therefore, make disciples of all the nations ,“[…] “ and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you” {Matt. 28. 20}. How do we achieve this today in our 21st century world? For most ecclesial communities, this is done by sending missionaries into the regions of the world where the Gospel has not, perhaps, taken firm root for various reasons; the Catholic Church does this as well, and this weekend we celebrate World Mission Sunday. World Mission Sunday allows all Catholics to aid in the promotion of the faith through supporting the missionary works of women and men serving in this capacity. In the propagation of the faith, no matter who we are, we must be diligent in our quest to make disciples of Jesus Christ, not of our own ideas. Whether we are Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant, we are all Christian; the command in Matthew 28.20 is something we are all bound to live out; although not all of us will travel to far distant places we are all missionaries in our own way. We all are called to promote the faith. Some do this in the way we speak, or shop, or what charities we support. Some spread the faith in the way they treat others every day or the volunteer word they do. There is a man in Rome by the name of Francis who is calling us all, not just the Catholics but, all who claim the name of Christian, to live the life that we profess. The really Great thing is that he is not merely inviting us to do it; he’s trying to give us an example by his own life! Perhaps we could do the same here in our own community by living humbly and gently today and every day, not only focusing on the differences between us, but celebrating what we share in common as children of God. By celebrating our faith together we will be seen as joyful, loving, and welcoming. We can acknowledge our differences, and there are some, but we can also work together to bridge these differences as we fulfill our Prime Directive to spread the Gospel as the Lord commands in Matthew 28.20; Canada is a Mission country too, our nation needs to hear and see the Gospel lived and preached at home! Let us strive to “make disciples of all nations,” and let’s begin at home. Father James McHugh Holy Trinity Parish Trail, BC

Tea and Bazaar set for Saturday at United Church Submitted The Rossland Sacred Heart CWL met on Oct. 6. The meeting opened with a spiritual led by Ruth Dubois which focused on a reading from Luke 10. A group discussion took place on how we can best exchange the busy “Martha” spirit for the more prayerful “Mary” spirit. The group was asked to reflect on the idea that, “Stopping is a spiritual art”. Preparations are well underway for this years annual Fall Tea and Bazaar. As Rossland Sacred Heart no longer has a Parish Hall it was decided that the CWL would approach the United Church in Rossland to inquire about the possibility of renting their hall for the event. So, for the first time, the Tea and Bazaasr will held in the United Church Hall. The date for the tea is Oct. 19 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. As usual there will be a bake table, country table, and fish pond. There will be several door prizes. Everyone is welcome. Proceeds from the Tea will go to the Sacred Heart Parish and to Development and Peace. President, Alida Nesmith reported on the “Catch the Fire” workshop which she attended on Sept. 21 in Nelson. The “Chain of Life” was held on Oct. 6 in Castlegar due to the road construction in Trail. On Oct. 7 Ruth Dubois, a retired Nursing Instructor from Selkirk College, organized a DVD presentation at Holy Trinity in Trail and invited CWL members from the area to attend. The DVD was titled “As We Forgive” and was a documentary about the Rwandan genocide and the struggle by the people who were so wronged to forgive their perpetrators when they were released from prison and returned to their communities. The documentary was extremely moving and a discussion followed afterward as a form of debriefing. The CWL members from Holy Trinity provided a variety of delicious snacks that were enjoyed afterward. Approximately 30 people attended and the response was very positive. This year again the Sacred Heart CWL will host the Advent Music Celebration. Both Sacred Heart Parish choirs will perform along with the United Church Choir. Also there will be prayer and meditation which is intended to help us to realize the true meaning of Advent. The date for this event has yet to be confirmed.
Bishop appointed for massive northern diocese THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A Vancouver-based Catholic priest has been named the bishop of Canada’s northernmost Catholic diocese, responsible for one of the most far-flung dioceses on the planet. Pope Francis has named Monsignor Mark Hagemoen Bishop of the Diocese of MackenzieFort Smith, based in Yellowknife. When he steps into the role, Hagemoen will be responsible for the spiritual wellbeing of about 27,000 Catholics, or roughly half the population dotted across a 1.5-million square kilometre region covering most of the Northwest Territories, parts of Nunavut and northern Saskatchewan. Vancouver-born Hagemoen has served in parishes from Chilliwack, B.C., to Vancouver over the past two decades and is currently principal of Saint Mark’s Theological College and principal of Corpus Christi College, the Catholic liberal arts college at UBC.

Halloween
Thrifty costume
Costumes mimic movies and shows like ‘Duck Dynasty’
Valerie Rossi photo
Grade 5 Savanna Lightburn of Rossland scored her Halloween costume of an “olden-day lady” at the Rossland Thrift Store. She liked it so much, she decided to wear it home.
Other ideas for pumpkins THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Some ultra-easy ways to show off pumpkins: PUMPKIN VASES How about cutting, scooping and poking in your favourite seasonal flowers? Try orange Chinese lantern flowers. Or go for scary flourishes like faux flies and snakes wending through wilty blood red roses. Fill with dirt and use a pumpkin as a planter that can go straight into the ground after a few days on Halloween duty. P U M P K I N CANDLE HOLDERS Pumpkins are often
set alight by votive candles, but try poking holes and turning them into candlesticks. Or cut out the stem and nestle a little tea candle in the crook of an uncut pumpkin. Find a tall, narrow one and add an inexpensive glass hurricane top to be lit by a votive candle. PUMPKIN BIRD FEEDERS Why should humans have all the pumpkin fun? Create bird feeders by poking holes along the pumpkin’s sides for hanging with rope by a tree branch or just leave one sitting on a post.
THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - From the complex characters in a medieval epic to a band of bearded duck hunters on the Louisiana bayou, elements of fantasy and reality are inspiring some of this year’s hot Halloween costumes. Value Village store manager Christine Riddell said the large cast and regal twist showcased in the hit cable series “Game of Thrones” has made the show a go-to for those seeking to recreate the ensembles. At the other end of the style and time spectrums, the Robertson clan featured on popular reality show “Duck Dynasty” is offering an ample dose of Southern comfort for costume enthusiasts clamouring to mimic their distinctive, outdoorsy ensembles. “Most guys have a pair of rubber boots or a camouflage pair of pants. You’ve just got to put an old T-shirt with it, a bandanna, a pair of sunglasses, and of course, the big accessory is the big beard,” said Riddell. “It’s a funny show, so the guys really have fun putting this (costume) together.” “Breaking Bad” may have faded to black, but fans of the recently concluded TV crime drama can still
channel Walter White with their Halloween getups. Geoff Waszek, coowner of Candy’s Costume Shop in Toronto, said they’ve been fielding requests for costumes inspired by the award-winning series. “They’ve managed to come through by bringing in hazmat suits inspired by those worn by the fictional meth-maker. He said the costumes always follow what’s popular in the news, media or movies. “For example, the Avengers are very, very popular. All the girls, they want to be Catwoman, Black Widow, Wonder Woman, Silk Spectre from ‘The Watchmen,”’ Waszek said. “The children want to be Spider-Man, (characters from) ‘Despicable Me,’ Wolverine - all basically the most popular costumes that we sell generally follow the movies. “‘Iron Man’ is always popular and I’m sure with the success of ‘Gravity,’ we’re going to be having a lot of requests for astronaut suits now,” Waszek added, a reference to the hit lostin-space flick starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. In Value Village’s
fourth annual Halloween Shopping Survey of 1,000 adults, the thrift retailer found nearly half of respondents think movies and TV shows are the best source of costume inspiration.
The recent blockbuster season 4 premiere of “The Walking Dead” proved that the zombie series still has bite, and its popularity is being parlayed into Halloween costumes. “I think we get the
most requests right now for zombies. You can really zombiefy anything,” said Riddell. “It’s on trend, and it’s really easy and inexpensive with our gently used clothing selection here.”

NELSON
City wants to share space with RDCK THE NELSON STAR The City of Nelson wants to pitch the Regional District of Central Kootenay this week on sharing space in the white building. A letter on the agenda for last night’s board meeting says the city is asking for an audience “for the purpose of delivering a presentation to the board to consider the opportunity for the RDCK to share space
and the potential space options at 310 Ward Street.” The RDCK is running out of room at its lakefront headquarters and has brought in a space planner to look at reconfiguring the office. The city bought the white building from the provincial government in 2005. Both municipal and provincial services are offered but there is still unoccupied space.

KIMBERLEY
Mayor rejects federal prison idea BY CAROLYN GRANT Kimberley Bulletin
Since the subject of a potential federal prison near Kimberley was floated at an RDEK committee meeting a couple of weeks ago, there has been much discussion in the community on the merits of the idea. However, Mayor Ron McRae is emphatic that a prison is not something the city is endorsing, nor does he feel it is a good fit with city objectives. “There seems to some confusion out there with respect to where the City of Kimberley stands regarding a penal institution within or outside the city limits, especially given the idea was floated by a member of Kimberley City Council,” McRae
said. That member of council was Don McCormick, who is from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, which has three prisons: the Prince Albert Correctional Centre, Pine Grove Correctional Centre and the Saskatchewan Federal Penitentiary. “It should be made abundantly clear that the City of Kimberley is neither condoning nor involved in the discussions concerning a federal maximum security penal institution or any other type of federal penal institution,” McRae said. “As recently reported, the discussions with the RDEK about developing a penal institution have nothing to do with your municipality, its 10 ft

staff and team, or official mayor and council business. “The current administration does not recognize it as an initiative, let alone a recommendation or consideration.” The mayor says the city is intent on developing opportunities that are a good fit for the community and its future. “The city continues to increase economic diversity, development, sustainability and employment. We are not a community that will desperately capitulate to any type of business development or consideration. Our children and working people deserve businesses that provide for
our community’s sustainability and future, and that fit with our values, culture and lifestyle. “The results of last year’s community engagement do not indicate that a penal institution would be a good fit for the community and future objectives. “What we need now is a coming together around the new communication tools and strategies recently developed as key parts of the city’s plans to attract and diversify our economic landscape, not a pulling apart around such a potentially divisive issue as a maximum security penal institution.”

Culley celebrates milestone in Perth Smokies start new season BCHL
100 Caps for Rossland native By Jim Bailey
Times Sports Editor
About 10 years ago Thea Culley played her last game for coach Donna Hebert and the Rossland Secondary School Royals’ field hockey team; today she’ll hit a milestone seldom achieved in the world of women’s field hockey. Culley is the senior member of the Canadian women’s national field hockey team and the 27-year-old Rossland native will celebrate her 100th international match today when the team faces off against the world number-six ranked Hockeyroos from Australia at the Super Series Hockey 9s tournament in Perth, Aus. “I feel really excited to be reaching the milestone,” said Culley in an email from Perth. “It reminds me to look back over my career and reflect on how much I have grown as a player as well as a person. It’s funny because even after 100 games of representing my country, the thrill before the first whistle is just the same.” One of the highlights of Culley’s career occurred just last month when she led the Canadian team to a bronze medal at the Pan American Cup by scoring both goals in a 2-1 victory over Chile. The UBC grad has won accolades and all-star team selections including best Canadian player honours at Champions Challenge II in Kazan, Russia in 2009 and an all-star team selection at the National Championship tournament in 2008. Culley has been a key cog in the Canadian field hockey wheel for the past eight years, and still finds the daily grind of training and competing for her country very rewarding. “I’m definitely still physically and mentally motivated,” says Culley. “I feel like no matter how experienced I get, I’m still learning. There are definite ups and downs but I always remind myself how it feels to be walking out of the change room onto the pitch before the game. The camaraderie and excitement of competition is really like nothing else

Rossland native Thea Culley reaches a milestone today, playing in her 100th international match with the Canadian women’s field hockey team against Australia’s Hockeyroos at the Super Series 9s tournament in Perth, Aus. I have experienced and I’m still very addicted to that.” And Culley has no plans of retiring any time soon. With the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro on the horizon, she hopes to help an invigorated Canadian team qualify. Since the instalment of Kiwi Ian Rutledge as the new head coach, the team has found new life, which has manifested itself in improved results in competitions such as the Pan American Cup and on a tour through Ireland in June where they went 4-1-2 in games against Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. “The Olympic dream is a tough one to give up on and I’m just not ready to do that yet,” added Culley. “I also have

The Canadians trailed 2-1 at the half, before falling 4-1 to the recent Pan American Cup champions. The Canadian team will wind up the round robin portion of the tournament against Malaysia tomorrow, with the finals and bronze-medal matches going on Sunday.

Tips went up 3-1 in the second, but Kadrian Klimchuk would draw the Kootenay team to within one with just 17 seconds remaining, setting up the thirdperiod comeback. The Ice are now 1-4-1 and will play the fourth place Okanagan Rockets in Kelowna this weekend.

The Trail Smoke Eaters embark on a journey towards respectability as they host the Coquitlam Express at the Trail Memorial Centre tonight. The Smoke Eaters play their first game since the dismissal of head coach and GM Bill Birks, and though the sudden firing was both surprising and expected, it puts a whole new emphasis on the team’s performance and it’s ability to compete in the BCHL’s tough Interior division. Captain Adam Wheeldon will feel the loss more acutely, as his two-plus years with the Smokies has been under Birks tenure, and it was Birks who pinned the ‘C’ on the Nelson native’s jersey this season. “It’s obviously hard to see him go, and I was really, really close with him, but it’s out of my hands, there’s nothing I can do,” said Wheeldon. “We as players need to play a lot better, we haven’t been pulling our weight out there. We have to keep our heads up and keep going.” In hockey, the coach is usually the first casualty of an u n d e r- p e r f o r m i n g team, and it was no different for Birks who was recognized as an “old school” coach, who didn’t pull any punches, wore his heart on his sleeve, and expected the most out of his players and coaches. Assistants Barry Zanier and Craig Clair have slightly different styles, but Wheeldon expects that they won’t be any less demanding than the former bench boss. “Whoever they choose will be awesome. I like both of our assistant coaches, we’re just going to wait and see who is
going to take over here.” Tonight the Smokies face the BCHL’s most prolific scoring team, led by league-leading scorer Adam Rockwood who has netted 23 points in 13 games this season and 18-year-old rookie Corey Mackin, 9-10-19. Goalie Gordon Defiel has carried most of the load in net for the Express with six wins in 10 games and a 2.89 goals against average and a .913 save percentage. The Express are coming off a 5-4 loss to Surrey and currently sit in second place in the Mainland Division with a 7-4-0-2 record.
adam wheeldon
The Smoke Eaters can’t help but feel a little added pressure, and after tonight will embark on a fourgame road swing, starting in Merritt on Sunday. “It sucks, we were all pretty close with Bill but something had to be done, and we just have to keep our heads up high and there is still lots of hockey to be played . . . Now that we have a new coach, it’s definitely on us more to perform; still it’s hard but we’ll get through it.” The Smokies journey to the coast next weekend for games in Powell River, Port Alberni, and Nanaimo, and return home Nov. 1 to play the Victoria Grizzlies. The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. tonight for the Smoke EaterCoquitlam game at the Cominco Arena.

T
he new Smoke Eater coach, interim or not, has to hope that a big change, all on its own, energizes the players. It has seemed at times that the Smokies could play with any other team they face. Those times, however, have been too few and far between - especially on home ice. It is often said by coaching staffs that road trips, in the beginning of a team’s journey, are often a blessing. It may be a very good thing, then, that after tonight the Smokies are on the road until the end of the month. Meanwhile, the BCHL’s highestscoring team will be at Cominco Arena tonight and the hosts need to be desperate from minute one. Another home defeat is exactly the wrong way to prepare for a road trip - despite the fact the results on the road have been a bit better. It’s difficult to revamp a roster midseason, especially difficult to attract top-end producers to a losing
team, but at least a partial rebuild is likely needed, and quickly. How those in charge go about that, or even whether it is possible to create the sharp turnaround in fortunes the team needs to even contemplate post-season play, I do not know. I know they will try, but I am fairly sure almost everybody involved has been trying pretty hard all along. All fans can do is wait and see, seeing being the most important word here. The Smokies are our team and need our support maybe more than ever right now. There is small reason to expect a good result from tonight’s game, but there is every reason to head down to the rink and see what happens. • Meanwhile, just a little east of here. the local junior B team seems headed for blue skies - if they can take a big step tonight. The Beaver Valley Nitehawks face the Nelson Leafs for the fourth time (one of those exhibition) this season sporting an 0-3 record against their long time rivals. The Nitehawks haven’t lost to anyone else this year and experienced an upgrade in talent recently. This is a touchstone contest for their chances and they won’t face Nelson again for six weeks.
The Nitehawks also spend the rest of October’s schedule in their home barn and would like to feel in control of their standings destiny, which a win tonight would allow. • For the next couple of weeks, the KIJHL and BCHL local schedules are not in conflict - a nice change for local fans who support both levels. It should be something that is the norm, given computerization of schedule making, because it should benefit the bottom lines of both the Nitehawks and Smokies, who share more than a few fans. Nothing that would make things easier for the Smoke Eaters, though, is given much consideration by their league.
Kootenay Savings Super League had a full night of curling last week at the Trail Curling Club. The match of the night pitted Team Brost Autoworx against a streaking Team Ferguson. With the game knotted at three, skip Rob Ferguson made one of his patented double take-outs for two in the sixth. Borsato was forced to score one in the seventh and down 5-4 without the hammer and throwing final stone, Borsato tried to hit and roll off a corner rock and sit shot rock guarded underneath her second shot to lay two, but the thrown rock didn’t curl enough, rolling out, leaving Ferguson an open hit for two to win the game 7-4. Myron Nichol and his rink went up against Maglio Mens this past week. Nichol had third Gary Beaudry in the lineup for the first time this year, with Gary in midseason form, executing double take-outs and perfect guards, and in the process limiting Maglio’s chances at any big ends. With Skip Myron just having to throw guards, or come around draws himself, Maglio’s Beauchamp was left with difficult or near impossible access to the four-foot as Nichol cruised to a 12-3 win. Maglio Ladies took on Team Albo in a match that was closer than the final score. Skip Heather Nichol made a nice come around tap for two in
the first, followed by Darrin Albo’s hit for two in the second. Nichols draw for one in the third slid inches too far, giving Albo a single steal, but it was Heather’s last rock pick in the fourth, raising another Albo stone for a steal of two and a 5-2 deficit, instead of their own deuce that hurt Maglio Ladies the most. The teams traded deuces for the next
four ends before Nichol just missed a double take-out leaving Albo a steal in the ninth and a 9-6 win. Team Fines was in tough against Team Rellish Transport Services with skip Deane Horning and third Don Freschi fresh off their good showing in the Vernon Cash ‘Spiel. Team Fines wasn’t intimidated, with interim skip Dave Kelly drawing for two
in the first, then forcing Horning to take one in the second. But Team Rellish got things rolling after that, stealing the third, fourth and fifth ends for a 6 -2 lead. Kelly made a perfect through the port take-out for one in the sixth, but Horning came back with two in the seventh, forcing Team Fines to concede for a 8-3 Rellish Transport win.

He didn’t tell me that he and his father left to go to the bank, leaving his stepmother to handle the movers. My husband and I both slept until noon that day, but they only castigated me for being “lazy.” They didn’t mention that I was up until 4 a.m. unpacking. They were bothered that I didn’t have breakfast ready for them, even though the kitchen wasn’t unpacked. They expected to be entertained. When they decided to leave in a huff, I was bathing our kids. They didn’t even lock the front door behind them. After they left, I received nasty emails saying how rude I was and that I need to apologize.

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, Oct. 19, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel tired today. In fact, for the past few days, you might have felt that everything was one step forward, two steps backward. This will pass. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your efforts feel stymied when it comes to pulling your act together at home to meet the challenge of visiting guests or the chaos of renovations and residential moves. It’s as if you are walking in quicksand. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) No matter how strong your views are today, this is a poor day to try to coerce others to agree with you. The clarity of your viewpoint will be lost on others. It’s as if your speech is muffled. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be careful with financial matters today, because

you might not see the whole picture. It’s as if there is Vaseline on your lens. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your efforts to move forward will get you nowhere right now. This baffles even you. Don’t worry, because as Mars moves on, your strength and success rate will recover. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Beware of self-defeating behavior patterns today. It’s easy to fall back into childhood reactions. As long as you’re aware of this, you won’t get into trouble. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) The steam has gone out of you when it comes to competing with others today. It doesn’t seem to be worth it. That’s OK; let this pass. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your ambitions are thwarted by others, either on purpose or accidentally at this time. Don’t make a
big deal about things. Accept them and move on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) No matter how enthusiastic you are about a project, perhaps with school, publishing or medical or legal issues, you cannot make gains. Wait a week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Disputes about shared property and inheritances are bogged down due to
confusion, misrepresentation and deception. Just put things on hold for about a week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might feel confused when dealing with partners and close friends right now. It’s hard to know what they really want from you, and it’s equally hard to know if you can deliver.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Don’t strike out at others now. If you feel frustrated with someone, wait for a few days because you need more strength and focus to be successful. YOU BORN TODAY You are lively, independent and ready to speak your mind. Sometimes it seems like excitement and stimulation virtually surround you. You are competitive, outspoken
