Annual film festival getting ready to roll Five-day event starts next week and features films, art auction and musical talent BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

Rossland will once again be pulling back the curtain on mountain culture with the biggest little film festival ready to roll. The 14th annual Teck Rossland Mountain Film Festival kicks off next Wednesday at 8 p.m. in the Redroom Lounge of the Prestige Mountain Resort. “Left for Dead: The Legend of Wild Bill,” which chronicles the misadventures of former cameraman Bill Harris, will start the series of talented videography and story telling that can be taken in throughout the week and into the weekend at various hot spots in the Golden City. “It's tricky to put the perfect mix together but I think what we end up with is something that has some really nice local representation but also some of that international interest as well,” explained Aerin Guy of SpaceRace Digital Inc, a web development and marketing company helping promote the event. “I think especially with the little bit of snow we've had in the last couple of days, it's perfect timing for it for sure,” she added. “I think everyone's getting really excited about getting their boots on and getting their skis tuned and getting out this year.” The five-day festival touts an array of films for your viewing

With the ink barely dry on NDP MP Alex Atamanenko’s press release stating he will not run in the next federal election, one potential nominee has already thrown her hat in the ring. Margaret Maximenko, a Christina Lake resident and former Area C regional district director, stated Monday that she is seeking a nomination for the newly created South Okanagan West Kootenay Riding (SOWK).

“ I want to know more about mutual funds.”

“I’ve gained a lot of experience in the representational role that politicians must provide for their constituents at the local level and as a local government spokesperson,” said Maximenko. After three terms in office, Atamanenko released his announcement Oct. 30 to allow people interested in the position, ample time to seek a nomination before an NDP candidate is formally selected next spring. “Our new association won’t happen until early next year when

“no-rules ski movie” produced by Legs of Steel, on Thursday night (starting at 9 p.m.) at the Flying we get the go-ahead to amalgamate with Penticton,” said the MP by phone from Ottawa Wednesday. “But citizens like Margaret who are interested in the position can get out there and start meeting people or contact me to learn what the job is all about.” Atamanenko acknowledged the challenge of new electoral boundaries in the next federal election, slated for 2015. “Traditionally, Penticton hasn’t been our area,” he said. “But in the last election our candidate did

Steam Shovel. But it's not just about the films. Ladies are invited to pull out their little black dress Friday night for the Teck Mountain Gala and Silent Auction in the Ross Thompson room at the Prestige, doors open at 6 p.m. The no-minors event includes a complimentary glass of wine, a selection of appetizers, mountain culture films, a performance by Brad Mackay and a silent art auction featuring local artists' work. Entries are still open for the silent auction, which will see all proceeds go to the Rossland Food Bank. “Artists will be giving their art away for a good cause and they do get a little bit of exposure from it,” said Guy. “The pieces will be featured on the website and through our social media channels and plus at an event that a lot of people come out to.” Saturday's big production day includes a by-donation or nonperishable food item family matinee at the Miners' Hall at 3 p.m. One film featured,“Crossing the Ice,” is a must-see story that won the Banff Mountain Film Festival People's Choice, said Guy. The film follows the journey of two men dragging their food and shelter across 1,140 kilometres of barren ice as they set out across Antarctica to the South Pole and back. Back by popular demand, the REEL Youth Film Festival, runs Saturday under the festival title from noon until 2:30 p.m. at the Miners' Hall. See YOUNG, Page 3

well, and it wasn’t a run away victory for the Conservatives. I think with proper feet on the ground and the folks in that area getting to know us and our platform, we have a pretty good chance.” Maximenko is ready for the challenge of newly formed riding. “I’ve knocked on doors in Penticton for years,” she said. “I think people are feeling a less need to be partisan as in the past. There is a move to want to have your say so I think this is a very do-able area.”

Town & Country New owners take pride in Gulch ristorante

warm welcome by the Silver City has the new owners of a quaint Italian ristorante in the Gulch, singing the song of love. Carmen Lydom and Debra Barembruch became proprietors of Amore’s Ristorante in mid-September, and since that time have been serving up authentic Italian cuisine five days a week from the historic location on Rossland Avenue.

“There is so much history steeped into this building,” said Lydom, who works in the kitchen and simmers fresh pots of marinara daily. “We have many neighbours who come down to support us,” she said, adding, “they are always telling me how much this business is needed here. Trail has really opened up its arms to us.” After living in Edson, Alta., the last few years, Lydom and Barembruch decided it was time for a career change. The women have years of experience working in the hospitality industry, and after becoming fast friends, decided in was time to throw in their hats and start a business together.

They’d been surfing the Internet for months in search of restaurants for sale, remaining steadfast that the perfect place would come along, nestled in the Kootenays. And it did, as “that little Italian place in the Gulch,” listing former owners Greg and Anita Amantea advertised online only two days before Barembruch spotted it. Within a week, the ladies flew to B.C. to have a firsthand look at the space. “I am a Kootenay girl but had never been to Trail,” said Lydom. “The plan was to retire to a property in Creston, but that all changed when Amore’s came along,” she continued. “As we drove down into the valley and into Trail for the first time we gasped because it was love at first sight. We knew this was the perfect opportunity for us to reconnect with the area and settle into a good place. And, I think we found it.” Barembruch runs the front of the house and said taking ownership of Amore’s happened with ease and “everything fell into place, like it was all supposed to be.” “We inherited a wonderful staff and outstanding food because Anita’s standards are beyond impeccable,” added Lydom. Other than a few tweaks to the menu,

such as the herbed focaccia starter with a traditional balsamic dip, and a mise en place Thursday special, the menu remains unchanged. However, there is one unique ingredient sprinkled over each freshly-prepared entree. The ladies have a little ‘amore’ (Italian for love) anecdote that they decided to incorporate as part of dish preparation. “Carmen’s mom gave her an empty spice can that she filled with ‘love,’” said Barembruch. “Our first night was a bit overwhelming until I had a young woman call me over,” she explained. “She wanted to tell me that everything was so delicious and she could tell the food was made with love.” Barembruch made her way to the kitchen to share the compliment with JP, Amore’s chef since the restaurant opened in 2011. “He just about fell over,” she chuckled. “Because JP was just about to ask if anybody had said the food tasted different. He had been sprinkling our ‘secret ingredient’ over each plate, curious if anyone would notice.” Next year, Amore’s

will be celebrating a milestone, when the building marks 100 years. “We have been given such a blessing to help commemorate the Gulch next year,” said Lydom. “A lot of people come in to look at our historical pictures on the wall, and they want to hear about the history of Trail. We want to become ambassadors for the Gulch. It’s a wonderful thing.” Although taking over the already wellestablished restaurant was a smooth ride, the rocky road just outside

Amore’s front door made for a few bumps as the highway repaving project rolled through in September. Lydom and Barembruch took it all in stride, and viewed the traffic as a bonus to their first month in business. “The way I look at it, is that people are forced to slow right down and have more time to look at us,” said Lydom “I stand at the window and wave and make coffee for the workers. They are so appreciative.” Now that’s amore.

Casting call for innovative homeowners

By Times Staff Mountain Road Productions has its sights set on Trail for a new special that explores Canada for homeowners with eccentric and unconventional approaches to home repair. By participating, these not-so-handy homeowners will see their creative handiwork fixed for free. “We would ultimately love people from all across Canada and we find that digging into the smaller communities are where the best candidates will be found,” said Stephanie Beaune, Mountain Road Productions public relations assistant. “Trail is a beautiful town, which would provide a lovely background for the piece of the special.” The new HGTV Canada Special, hosted by Steve Patterson of CBC Radio's “The Debaters,” will be a celebration of completely unique and utterly outside the box approaches to home repair. These ingenious kooky home improvements include such feats as installing linoleum as a backslash in the kitchen, nailing roof shingles down as flooring in the foyer or using that trusty duct tape in place of caulking around the bathtub. “Our goal is to uncover great characters with a bizarre sense of home improvement,” said Executive Producer, Tim Alp. “We are looking for houses filled with jerry-rigged solutions that are at complete odds with main stream expectations.” Casting is currently ongoing and as of right now there is no deadline on applying. Though Mountain Road Productions would like to start filming in the late fall. Ideal candidates for this 1-hour TV special are gregarious, fun loving people who don’t take themselves too seriously and have an aptitude for completely outrageous DIY solutions.

Fiddlin’ for food

Submitted photo

The Old Time Fiddlers performed recently at the Waneta Plaza for donations to the Salvation Army Food Bank. The popular musicians entertained for about two hours and raised over $450 for the food bank and many of their followers donated nonperishable food items as well.

Young local filmmakers showcase their work FROM PAGE 1 The international film screening includes work from Greater Trail youth James Klemmensen and Liam Barnes (“Barefoot”), Eric Gonzales (“Seattle and Aviation) and Jordan Strobel (“High Rise- Ski Edit”). Due to Rossland Council for Arts and Culture changing administrative hands, film submissions were only opened to youth who previously submitted work to the U19 Film Festival, explained new program administrator Demitri Lesniewicz.

The Rossland Council for Arts and Culture is again planning a U19 Film Festival for early May, which Lesniewicz expects to be a success if local youth interest in film making is any indication. “I met Eric Gonzales the other day, he was one of our winners from the U19 Film Festival last year,” he said. “He is a talented filmmaker and a very motivated young man at that. “He is currently filming the new Grey expansion for Red Resort, he is also doing work for the City of Rossland, and the City of

Trail.” The festival night will be capped off at 7 p.m. with a (no-minors) Nelson and District Credit Union Saturday Mountain Film and Party, featuring sounds from the Funk Hunters. One of Canada’s busiest electronic acts is landing in Rossland for the night with their four turntables, high energy and lively visuals for a mash up of music, art and movie-making. New to this year’s festival is a film and speaker forum on Sunday, the last day the festival runs.

The discussion at 3 p.m. at the Prestige will be led by a representative from Teck Trail Operations and Selkirk College will follow the screening of “Gold Fever,” a witness account of the arrival of Goldcorp Inc to a remote Guatemalan village. “(The discussion) will tie between what’s happened in that Guatemalan community to sort of the first-hand perspective of people in our local community,” said Guy.

The Kelowna Capital News Modern technology combined with the efforts of Central Okanagan Search and Rescue helped rescue a stranded ATVer on Little White Mountain south of Kelowna earlier this week. COSAR was dispatched out at 3 p.m. Monday to launch a search effort for a male ATV rider, who was able to call for help due to the fact he was very well equipped for the outdoors, not only carrying a GPS but a satellite phone as well. When the call came in, COSAR were able to pinpoint his exact location and respond with nine members, two trucks, two ATVs and two snowmobiles. Due to the time of day and the fact it gets dark an hour earlier, the COSAR search manager requested the help of the RCMP helicopter as well. The helicopter was dispatched to the area of the GPS coordinates while ground SAR members were on route. The pilot was able to land and pick up the ATVer and return him to his truck. The COSAR effort was stood down at the halfway point of reaching area where the ATVer was missing.

Roller Routley, who brought “fresh eyes” to the district’s policy structure. Staff also noted that changes to the School Act and an April 2013 report from B.C’s auditor general on school board governance added to the need for a review. Okanagan Skaha Teachers’ Union president Leslea Woodward said she would welcome a new policy to protect employee whistleblowers. “We’ve been told by district staff that nobody should feel threatened or worried about their job if they report wrongdoing, Woodward said, “so it’s just more reassuring if there’s proper things in place.”

Confusion reigns over suspended senators THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The Conservative government is scrambling to figure out if the suspensions of three of its own senators actually means they’re entirely off the public payroll, as Prime Minister Stephen Harper claims. Tuesday’s suspensions of Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau for allegedly fraudulent expense claims are without precedent and the government still hasn’t figured out all the ramifications. Among the lingering questions: Is Duffy eligible for a disability allowance? Will the trio’s time in political purgatory - as much as two years count toward the six years of service needed to be eligible for a generous parliamentary pension? Good questions - and it’s up to the Senate to answer them, said Treasury Board President Tony Clement, the chief guardian of the public purse. “You’re asking very legitimate questions and there should be answers to those questions,” Clement said Wednesday, stressing that the Senate runs its own internal affairs. “I honestly don’t know the answer to that. I know that there’s a legal opinion that is being sought.” Claude Carignan, government leader in

the Senate, called the questions “technicalities” that will be sorted out by the chamber’s administration. The intention of the suspension motions passed on Tuesday was to suspend Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau “without pay, without any benefits ... including (the) pension plan,” he said. While Senate officials will apply “the spirit and the letter” of those motions, he allowed that there might be some legal impediments. “It’s the first time in 150 years that we have this type of suspension. It could have perhaps little technical problems so we will see what the administration (does), if they have technical problems,” Carignan said. “But all that we can do to suspend the benefits and the salary, within the parameters of the law, we will do it.” In fact, the three are still entitled to health, dental and life insurance benefits a provision added by Carignan last week to make the suspensions more palatable to some of his Conservative colleagues. Tory Sen. Don Meredith, who abstained from Tuesday’s vote, said he hopes the suspensions will not adversely impact his three former colleagues’ pension eligibility. Liberal Senate leader James Cowan said

the confusion is further evidence that the government rushed through the suspensions to solve a political problem, without giving any thought to the possible consequences. “It says that they’ve been making this whole process up as they go along.” NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, however an outspoken champion of abolishing the Senate entirely - said he “couldn’t care less” about the pension and disability allowance questions. “You’re asking me to comment on the flowers in the tapestry when we want to roll up the red carpet,” he shrugged. Another question lingers: how will the Senate collect reimbursement from Brazeau for $48,000 in disallowed living expenses if he’s no longer collecting a salary? Brazeau has steadfastly insisted he did nothing wrong and has refused to repay the money. In July, the chamber began garnisheeing 20 per cent of his Senate paycheque. Now, it’s unclear how - or even if - the Senate will get any more money out of him. “He may have other income ... I just have no idea,” Cowan said.

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is ignoring calls from even his dwindling group of staunch supporters to step aside in the wake of an admission he has smoked crack cocaine during his time in office. There has long been no love lost between the conservative mayor and left-leaning councillors during the first three years of his tenure

at the helm of Canada’s largest city. But a day after Ford finally addressed more than five months of speculation head on, saying he had tried crack cocaine, likely in “one of my drunken stupors,” councillors from right to left appeared united in their desire to see the mayor take time to get help. Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly was tight-lipped about his

meetings with the mayor over the past few days, but on Wednesday said he thought it was important to let the public know where he stood. “I’m inviting him today, as I have previously, to take a pause with all its advantages, because it’s the one option that looks after all of the issues that are on the table right now,” Kelly told television station CP24. “He could protect his

family, himself, health-wise, his political career and the vitality of his administration if he took a pause and regrouped and re-entered the fray later this year or early next year.” Ford is not following that advice, vowing in a contrite but defiant news conference hours after his surprise admission to stay on as mayor and run for re-election next year.

living expenses were repaid last winter by Nigel Wright, Harper’s chief of staff at the time. As of Tuesday’s vote, the three are not allowed to sit in the Senate, keep their offices, employ staff or conduct any Senate work. Their suspensions are for the duration of the parliamentary sitting, which could continue until 2015 - the same year in which Wallin, Duffy and Brazeau, all appointed in early 2009, would ordinarily have become eligible for a pension. Gregory Thomas, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Association, said “there’s nothing in the legislation” to suggest the suspensions will impact the trio’s pension eligibility, provided they continue to make contributions.

Duffy, the eldest of the three at 67, would be immediately eligible in 2015 for an annual pension of $58,264, according to the federation. “There’s nothing in the parliamentary pension legislation that contemplates somebody being suspended,” Thomas said. Duffy - who has a heart condition and announced he was taking medical leave just as debate on his proposed suspension began several weeks ago - could potentially benefit even more, Thomas said. Under the Parliament of Canada Act, a senator who is 65 or older and incapacitated by a proven medical condition can receive a disability allowance equal to 70 per cent of his or her annual salary $94,640 per year.

f the current social media revolution is teaching us anything, it is the impact that words have. From that standpoint, words, be it on Twitter or Facebook, have proven to have a much larger, broader role than simply shouting anonymously at your television or mumbling to yourself. Social media has shown that words do impact the way we think about ourselves, our society and the world around us. So with Remembrance Day on the horizon I am reminded how the impact of words gets lost somewhere in the translation from thought to sound. Often if we actually stop and think about what we are saying, perhaps our choice of words would be somewhat different. I always think of that around this time. And more so after reading Sheri Regnier’s story in a Trail Times edition last week on the Royal Canadian Legion’s poppy launch and the life of Cliff Dawson a World War II veteran. I remember vividly in the aftermath of 9-11 when people in the media vowed to correct their analogies of events before comparing something to a war or a

battlefield. Of course that only lasted as long as the next headline. Words like “battle,” “war,” and “do or die” were once again used to describe everything from games to elections. It’s sad to see military terms used in such a cavalier way. I guess it’s an easy and lazy way for media types to describe something that isn’t remotely close to an actual war. Granted a lot of terms have become part of our lexicon over generations - “rally the troops,” “down in the trenches,” or “back in the foxhole.” But in the last decade or so everything has become a “war,” or the latest athlete’s exploits are “heroic.” Perhaps we’ve become de-sensitized to the entire transition in our use of such adjectives. War was never viewed like that in older generations. Wars were defining moments in history, that galvanized much of the world, gave birth to revolutions or help fuel societies against governments that initiate it. Wars took lives, left gaps in family trees and altered future generations. Now war is a selling point – especially in the media. Networks spare no

expense on graphics, expert panels, breaking video, foreign correspondents and even Oscar winning movies. If you can tag the word “war,” to it, then it can be sold to the public, whether you’re in the media, politics or entertainment. We’re repeatedly told there are “wars” on everything from terrorism, to drugs, to Santa Claus and Christmas trees. If a mixed martial arts fight isn’t labelled a “war” then there’s barely a reason to watch it. If a politician doesn’t declare “war” on inflation, poverty or cross-border shopping then they’re simply not doing enough on the issue. If an accident or disaster isn’t compared to a “war zone” then it’s hardly worth

noting. If it isn’t a “war of words” then it’s barely a whisper. Politicians retreat to their “war rooms” to strategize. Companies build up a “war chest” to fend off competitors. Unfortunately the overused cry of “war” barely causes us to pause while flipping through the channels. And sadly it’s not the only word we’ve come to throw around quite loosely. For the record; Canada rallying with two third-period goals to win an Olympic gold medal is not “heroic.” Fighting to defend your country is “heroic.” Tiger Woods is not “brave” for withstanding torrential rain and sinking a 25-foot putt to win $5 million. Signing up to join the army, like Mr. Dawson did at the young age of 18 years old, is “brave.” And you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in our federal government worthy of being called “honourable” nowadays. We should remind ourselves that “honourable” is a term that is earned, by the men and women who fought for our country, not something won in elections. If you stop and think about what “war” actually

means, you'll find the definition hasn't changed over the years only its usage has. We still watch young soldiers march off to war in a foreign land for a fight even many of them, let alone the public at large, don’t understand. We watch in dismay as the very government they fought for quibble over simple rewards and the dignity to grow old gracefully and under the belief that their sacrifices were well deserved and appreciated. It saddens me to read about veterans living in poverty or veterans denied proper treatment when they return from a tour of duty many of us will never experience or understand. Which brings me to another word. “Remembering” isn’t just a snappy slogan conjured up for license plates and bumper stickers. It’s a moment when we pause to fully absorb what people have given heroically, bravely and honestly. In truth, there are really no words to describe what they’ve done. So that’s why we do it with a moment of silence. If nothing else take that moment on Nov. 11. Guy Bertrand is the managing editor of the Trail Times.

Letters & Opinion

Why we should support shale gas and GMOs

hat does 10-yearold Victoria student Maya Fisher’s campaign to have genetically modified organisms removed from Girl Guides cookies have in common with the native-led anti-fracking protests in New Brunswick? The answer: both are based upon activist propaganda having no scientific foundation. Fisher told reporters, “Now, we want the Girl Guides of Canada to live up to their own motto by removing GMO’s and making cookies safe and environmentally friendly”. Her anti-GMO (or GM) beliefs seem to be shared Gwyn by a majority of North Americans and Europeans. Yet Troy virtually all of the scientific evidence shows they are wrong. The American Association for the Advancement of Science states “. . . biotechnology is safe”. The French Academy of Science agrees: “All criticism against GMOs can largely be rejected on strictly scientific criteria”. The national science academies of Germany, Brazil, India, China as well as Britain’s Royal Society share the same view. And the World Health Organization (WHO) States: “No effects of human health problems have been shown as a result of the consumption of GM foods . . .”. So how have so many people become convinced that GM is “dangerous? The answer to that question came last January in a shocking speech by Mark Lynas, founder of the anti-GM movement. “We employed a lot of imagery about scientists in their labs cackling demonically as they tinkered with the very building blocks of life. Hence the Frankenstein food (which became Franken-Food) tag - this absolutely was about deep-seated fears of scientific powers being used secretly for

unnatural ends. These fears spread like wildfire . . ..This has been the most successful campaign I have ever been involved with.” Lynas’s redemption came when he finally decided to look at the science. He learned that GMO’s require less fertilizer, thereby reducing nutrient-rich runoff that causes fish-killing oxygen starvation in weed choked rivers and streams. He learned that pest resistant seeds reduce insecticide use and that droughtresistant p l a n t s lessen the unsustainable depletion of water aquifers. And contrary to his own FrankenFood label, Media he found out that GMO research is actually safer and more precise than traditional plant genetics that “mucks about with the entire genome in a trial and error way.” When it comes to irrational opposition to scientific advancements, shale gas has much in common with GM foods. Environmental groups portray hydraulic fracturing as a scary new technology that contaminates water supplies and poses a threat to public safety. Yet so-called “fracking” is neither new nor scary. In the United States, after some 1.2 million wells have been hydraulically fractured over the past 60 years, both the Bureau of Land Management and the Environmental Protection Agency have not found any supportable evidence of fracturing induced ground water contamination. Some 174,000 wells have been “fracked” in Alberta, together with thousands more in B.C. In 1975 as a young engineer, I directed the fracturing of the first well drilled by the company that grew into EnCana Corporation. Over

Morgan

the ensuing decades, EnCana safely fractured tens of thousands of wells on its way to becoming North America’s largest natural gas producer. Burgeoning shale gas supplies are creating both an environmental and economic renaissance across North America. Natural gas has displaced coal as the fuel of choice for new power plants and diesel trucks, buses, even railway locomotives and inter-island ferries are gradually being refitted with cleaner-burning natural gas engines. But the biggest winners are consumers. Natural gas prices have dropped dramatically, reducing the cost of both space heating and manufacturing processes. And since natural gas comprises 80 per cent of the cost of nitrogen fertilizer, farmers are also major beneficiaries. Finally, shale gas development is creating jobs and tax revenues, and rejuvenating economically-depressed rural communities across North America. Here in Canada, B.C.’s huge shale gas potential is spawning tens of billions of dollars in projects aimed at piping gas to tidewater for transport to Asia via LNG ships. Given these economic and environmental benefits, it would be irresponsible for the government of economicallychallenged New Brunswick to shun industry’s efforts to assess the province’s shale gas potential. Sadly, “warrior” protests show that environmentalist propaganda has convinced some natives that hydraulic fracturing is a technology to be feared. Hopefully, respected First Nations leaders who are willing to examine the facts will emerge. Failure to move forward will destroy an opportunity to build a better future for all New Brunswickers, including natives. Gwyn Morgan is a retired Canadian business leader who has been a director of five global corporations.

Ice look to ground T-birds

BY TIMES STAFF The Major Midget Kootenay Ice return to the Kootenays for a pair of games versus the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds Saturday and Sunday at the Nelson District Arena. The Ice are coming off a good road trip to Prince George against the Cariboo Cougars, where they won 6-5 on Saturday before settling for a 4-4 draw on Sunday. Sam Weber of Nelson scored twice and added an assist, while Trail’s Evan Gorman set up Aigne McGeady-Bruce also from Nelson, who blasted home the winner at 8:08 of the third period to break a 5-5 tie and secure the Ice’s second win of the season on Saturday. Kimberley’s Coy Prevost had three assists in the game, while Kadrian Klimchuck of Castlegar

and Trevor Van Steinburg, Cranbrook, each had a goal and an assist in the game. Weber scored two more times in the Sunday matchup and Nelson’s Austin Tambellini put the Ice up 4-3 at 2:26 of the second period, but the Cariboo’s Thomas Webster would knot it at 4-4 at 18:57 of the third period. Weber was also nominated by the Ice for the B.C. Major Midget League player of the month award, but lost out to Liam Finlay of the Okanagan Rockets who scored five goals and nine assists for the month of October. The Kootenay Ice currently sit in 10th place in the BCMML with a 2-8-2-6 record, and will play the ninth-place Thunderbirds, 3-7-1-7, at 12:30 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday.

Smokies goaltending dilemma looms

ew Trail Smoke Eaters fans saw it in person, but the goaltending performance put together by 18 year-old Riley Corbin in West Kelowna last Saturday was nothing short of sensational. The softspoken Thunder Bay native stopped 46 of 47 shots, helping Trail to their first victory in over a month, and their largest margin of victory EVER at Royal Lepage Place.

But as impressive as Corbin was (and has been in each of his last three starts, to be honest), new head coach Nick Deschenes will have a tough decision on his hands once incumbent starter Adam Todd comes off the injured list Dec. 1 (BCHL teams can only carry two goaltenders on their active roster). But let’s face it, for a team hoping to rise from the depths of the Interior division, it’s a

SMOKE EATERS VERSUS

PRINCE GEORGE SPRUCE KINGS Friday, November 8

last year when he wrestled the starting goaltender’s job away from Lyndon Stanwood and helped take this team ever-so-close to a playoff berth. The Everett Silvertips thought highly enough of the 19 year old that they brought him up for a week-long stint as an emergency backup last February. It can’t be easy to watch from the sidelines, as Todd has done since suffering an injury Sept. 28 (which, interestingly enough was the night the Smokies’ strong start came to an end), but through it all, he’s been nothing but a team player. Dustin Nikkel has drawn the lion’s share of the work between the pipes this season, and certainly hasn’t been rewarded statistically for the effort he’s put in so far this season. Nikkel was instrumental in helping a North Okanagan team decimated by injuries reach the KIJHL finals last spring, and time and time again has come up with huge saves on point-blank chances since arriving in Trail. Nikkel finds himself in the rare position of over-age rookie in the Smoke Eater dressing room, which means a seat closer to the front of the bus on road trips. And while lesser charDOLBY 7.1 SURROUND SOUND

acters might turn their nose up at the thought of co-habitating with 16 and 17 year-olds on 15-hour round trips every weekend, Nikkel has been nothing but first class since signing here this summer. Corbin, who started the year in the Ontario Hockey League, seems to have found his groove after settling into a new province and a new league. Although he’s only appeared in five games, he possesses the best goals-against average and save percentage among the trio, and since four of his five games played have come on the road, has to be a bit of an unknown entity among Trail fans. The youngest of the three goalies at 18, Corbin might have the most to offer to management long-term. Last week’s three-point effort has to have reinvigorated this group though, and brought a bit of hope to a dressing room sorely needing success. November will be a challenging month, both in terms of climbing the standings, and for these three young men battling for their chance to wear the Smokies sweater through the end of the season. I’m just glad I’m not the one entrusted with making that choice when the time comes in one month’s time. HIGH FRAME RATE 3D

B.C. teams in hunt THE CANADIAN PRESS KITCHENER, Ont. - Kelly Scott scored the decisive point in the 10th end and edged Shannon Kleibrink 6-5 on Wednesday in Draw 4 action at the 2013 Road to the Roar Olympic pre-trial tournament. In a rematch of the 2005 Canadian Curling Trials final, won 8-7 by Calgary’s Kleibrink, the two rinks fought for control on tricky ice. Scott, from Kelowna, scored the only steal of the game in the sixth end when Kleibrink couldn’t get around the front guards.

Tied 5-5 after nine ends, Scott was able to put the game away on an open hit. Scott remains in the A-event of the triple-knockout tournament with two wins. John Morris is also on the right track for a second straight Olympic gold medal. Morris, who won gold at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics skipped his new team to a victory on Tuesday, rolling to a 10-2 win over Rob Rumfeldt’s rink. Morris played the Balsdon foursome Wednesday night but scores were unavailable at press time.

Super League

Tight race for top spot By Times Contributor Kootenay Savings Super League saw Team Albo make a tenth-end circus shot for the steal, and a point, to keep Albo within striking distance of the league-leading Team Rellish Transport. The game was 4-4 after 4 ends, and 5-5 after 6. After Albo scored a deuce, Team Fines seemed to take control with a big four-ender in the eighth. But Skip Darrin Albo drew threw a narrow port to the four foot for one in the ninth, then made a beautiful hit and roll behind a wall of granite to steal one in the tenth for the 9-9 tie. Skip Rob Ferguson had his A-game going against Team Myron Nichol, making every draw and hit-and-roll possible, leaving Nichol impossible shots to the four foot for an easy 7-3 win. Team Rellish Transport was without skip Deane Horning and third Don Freschi again, who were in Red Deer in a bonspeil where they reached the semi-finals, but spare skip Rick Brown and the rest of the team kept relentless pressure on Team Maglio Ladies. Skip Heather Nichol, while twice staring at four Rellish rocks, made perfect come around draws to the four foot in the first and second ends, only to see the onslaught continue and a 9-2 Team Rellish Transport win. It was a tough night for the Maglio team, as Desiree Borsato and her Brost Autoworx rink (with spare Terry Bublitz) completely dominated for a six ends in a 12-2 thrashing of Maglio Mens. Team Rellish Transport leads the Super League with 11points, followed by Ferguson 10 points and Albo 9 points. Action continues tonight at the Trail Curling Club at 7 p.m.

I know he reads your column faithfully, so we would greatly value your opinion. -- Concerned Mother Dear Mother: Some children understand a parent’s fears and will call regularly, not only so Mom and Dad don’t worry, but also to check and make sure the parents are OK. But not all kids think this way. Your son interprets this as “controlling,” although that is not the intent. He otherwise seems to be a good son, so please try to compromise. Some people avoid

your own good. Do not call your local emergency rooms and ask whether they are busy. If you have time to get on the phone and “hospital shop,” your emergency must not be all that urgent. Do not call your local emergency room and ask how long their wait is. They are an emergency room, not your local restaurant. Thank you. -- No Name, Please Dear No Name: We appreciate your comments. Please, folks, they are called “emergency rooms” for a reason. Dear Annie: I can relate to “Lonely for Friends.” I am 42 years old and happily married. I, too, have had trouble making friends for as long as I can remember. I have had only two close friends in my entire life. I consider myself an introvert. I get along well with many people, but it never becomes more than

an acquaintanceship. I was in a needlework group for 15 years and never truly fit in. I am involved in my church, but have not made any friends. I suspect it may have to do with reading body language. I can’t interpret the signals I’m getting and don’t

realize when I need to make the next move. Counseling didn’t supply any revelations. Over time, I have come to enjoy being alone. I love my husband’s company, but I sometimes wish I had someone to go shopping with. -- Not Quite

Perhaps he or his wife would be willing to send a group text or email to both sides of the family, including you or one of your other children, who could then let you know he’s out of town.

Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our 80s. We have three wonderful kids, all married, who live nearby. We have always been close. The problem is, one son thinks I am trying to control him. He never tells us when he is planning to go out of town. If we can’t reach him for days, we worry. He rarely answers his cellphone on vacation, and when he does pick up, he gets angry. We believe, out of respect for us, he should give us a quick call letting us know where they are headed and when they arrive so we won’t worry. It’s not like we would call them on their vacation. I am certain that his wife, whom we also love, texts or uses Facebook to let her family know where they are. Are we unreasonable? He rarely calls us even when he is in town. We see him once every two weeks when he stops by for a
