Growing up in Greater Trail during the Great Depression Ruth Roberts cherished what few belongings she had. In 1943 when her brother went off to war he lent her his bicycle, the only one in the family, and his almost-new lunch bucket. She carried that treasure proudly to school while most of her peers used lard pails and in the brighter day, re-used paper bags. She considered her brother her hero and never thought war would take him. She has spent a lifetime missing him and revisiting the days before his death. The 86-year-old Burnaby woman reflects this Remembrance Day with a long-awaited feeling of closure after a visit to Fruitvale officially let her say goodbye to her brother who was killed in the Second World War. Ruth Roberts traveled home to Greater Trail with her husband Fred this fall to visit a mountain peak in the village that has been named after her brother Canadian Scottish Regiment Private Douglas Botterill McDonald. After almost a decade of coming across the B.C. Remembrance Day Naming program, whereby a geographical feature can be named to remember a wartime fatality, Roberts feels that she's

Private Douglas McDonald (inset) and the local peak named in his honour (above photo looking north from Fruitvale). accomplished a dream of hers and knows she's made her brother proud. “It's just overwhelming and it brings tears to my eyes,”she told the Times back in September when she visited McDonald Peak for the first time. “We lived in Fruitvale all those years and we’ve been back so many times and looked up there in the mountains and had no idea that someday it would be named after him.” The nearly 1,600 meter-high peak is known locally as one of the “Golden Hills” and is one of five peaks along a summit ridge of the mountain massif separating Kelly Creek and the Pend d'Oreille River. The peak that can be spotted from downtown is a constant reminder of the important contribution her brother

made to his country. Douglas Botterill McDonald was born Aug. 7, 1924 in Ashcroft but spent much of his short life in Trail, Robson and Fruitvale. His father brought his family to the Trail area in 1929 when he started working at Cominco. The “country boy” always considered Fruitvale home, said Roberts, because he spent his teen years there before enlisting in the Armed Forces in 1943. He went onto serve in Normandy with the 1st Btn, Canadian Scottish regiment and was killed in action Aug. 15 1944 at Falaise. He was 20 years old. “I buried him on Aug. 17 in a burial ground near where he fell and alongside those who gave their lives,” said Roberts. “They

say only the good die young, and he was good.” She is certain that if her brother skipped fate, he would have spent the rest of his days in Fruitvale and would have celebrated his 89th birthday this past Aug. 7 if he was still alive. “But since Doug was not able to return to Fruitvale himself, I feel that having this peak (McDonald Peak, which is only five miles from downtown Fruitvale) named in honour of him, that he will be forever connected to Fruitvale – symbolically and spiritually,” said Roberts. “He will forever be looking down at Fruitvale.” Roberts ventured up to the peak early fall with her 89-year-old husband Fred.

A look back

Women and the war effort

Women played a significant role in Trail’s home front efforts during the Second World War. Not only was it necessary to fill those positions left vacant by the men in combat overseas, but the CM&S companywide had committed to several wartime contracts that inevitably required an increase in labour. The skills of women were soon required at the smelter. To tackle this labour shortage, the company re-organized its workforce and focused specifically on areas most crucial to the war effort and meeting quotas. Women of the community responded eagerly to the call for workers. In Trail, two female supervisors were appointed to ensure a smooth transition for the smelter’s new female employees. As quoted by Jean Thomson in 1943, Industrial Relations Department: “There’s something very exciting and romantic about… women marching to their war jobs every day and swarming home at nights. Girls who never dreamed of a job outside a department store or an office are getting grease on their hands and liking it. Women who have

never followed any routine except their own flexible household schedule are hearing the precise rhythm of conveyor belts.” Women were placed in a variety of departments at the smelter including: the hydrogen and ammonia plants, the assay office, the lead and zinc tank rooms, the research department and the Central Technical Library. Although heralded as efficient and dependable employees, not all aspects of their employment resembled standard practice. Pay rate was never equal to those of their male counterparts. In addition, upon the conclusion of the war, company policy was to honour seniority by reinstating returned servicemen, resulting in a rapid decrease in the amount of female employees. Although brief, the war years in Trail offered local women the opportunity to engage in employment previously foreign to them and impacted the evolution of their role in our society.

Lunch bucket provided emotional link FROM PAGE 1 The rough ride was worth the experience of a lifetime that she likens to her trip around the Baren Lake and through the Panama Canal. Her husband’s nephew, Fruitvale resident Gerry Veysey (and wife Marian), brought the couple part of the way in his vehicle and then they were guided by locals Hans Laouwe and Bruce Donaldson for the last 25 minutes on ATVs. “It was one of the most memorable events of my life,” recalls Roberts. “I’m just wishing I had persevered and pursued the matter years ago. “I’m sorry that my parents weren’t alive and I wish I had done it sooner so my sister could come with me.” Her sister Elaine “I have always MacNicol is 90 now and also has vivd been sorry memories of the that I did not time around her recognize his brother’s death, farewell and give some that are unexplainable. him my own A program in the farewell in summer of 1944 brought her to the return.” Okanagan, where Ruth Roberts she harvested fruit with Roberts. Elaine left without an explanation one work day and she later realized the strong feeling to go back home to Greater Trail when she read a telegram that said her brother Doug was killed in battle. That same afternoon her sister left, Roberts finished work early and with a friend decided to enjoy a rare treat. Not wanting to carry her lunch bucket into Summerland to buy a milkshake, Roberts stashed it in some bushes near the cannery to be retrieved later. Upon their return, she reached in and picked up Doug’s lunch bucket. “I had an immediate, strange reaction — a jolt of supreme sadness, an overwhelming depression, a profound feeling of utter despair, such a strange experience/feeling that it is difficult to describe even after so many years of going over and over it in my mind,” said Roberts. “I didn’t want to talk, to laugh, to kibitz as we had been doing; I only wanted to be left alone with this feeling of profound grief, sadness and sense of loss,” she explained. Whenever she thinks about this experience or talks about it, she is immediately back there in Summerland in 1944 holding that lunch bucket, which was her connection to her brother. She was too young then to associate this event with her brother’s death but since then she has appreciated the fact that he came to say goodbye. “I have always been sorry that I did not recognize his farewell and give him my own farewell in return,” she said. She has now said her goodbyes.

Winter made its arrival throughout the West Kootenay on Thursday. Leading the way was Rossland’s winter wonderland where snow banks are already growing.

Region dealt first snowfall and warning By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

With up to 15 centimetres of snow falling over higher terrain, Environment Canada (EC) issued this season’s first snowfall warning for the West Kootenay region Thursday morning. Compact snow was reported from the Nancy Greene Summit to Trail with slushy sections from the junction of Highway 3B in Trail to Castlegar, reported the DriveBC website. Reports of vehicle incidents in Greater Trail included a car overturned on the Rossland Hill Thursday morning and a vehicle over a bank near Genelle in the afternoon. An afternoon update on drivebc.ca reported both directions of Highway 3 at the Paulson Bridge closed due to a vehicle incident. No further details were available at press time. Further east, Highway 3 over the Kootenay Pass showed compact snow with slippery sections through to the junction of Highway 6

and Creston, with slush with slippery sections continuing to Cranbrook. Flights were not able to arrive or depart from the Trail Regional Airport Thursday due to marginal conditions with the airport’s live weather camera (trailairport.ca) showing low lying fog and wet snow covering the 4,000 foot runway. “From five to 10 centimetres of snow are generally forecast with lesser amounts in some valley bottoms,” cited the EC weather alert.

The Rossland News Students will be riding in style in one of the two new school buses coming to School District 20 (Kootenay Columbia), but not until next year. The province has bequeathed the local district with $218,954 in cash to purchase two new school buses as part of its annual fleet renewal program, but the new buses won’t be delivered until next spring. The Kootenay Columbia School District will purchase two new buses that can transport more than 80 students each. Using the province’s standard offer pricing model—through the Association of

School Transportation Services of B.C.— the school district will be able to take advantage of low pricing and save up to 15 per cent each year in cost, as well as significant administrative and staff time. The school district will also save money in maintenance costs as the new vehicles will replace aging ones, said BoundarySimilkameen Liberal MLA Linda Larson. In order to qualify for replacement, a bus needs to be on a regular route to school, and have met or exceeded the following criteria regarding age and mileage: 80 plus passenger buses—15 years or 400,000 kilometres.

“Snow will change to rain during the day and the West Kootenay region will suffer the full brunt of the storm before it tapers off by this (Thursday) evening.” According to local forecaster Ron Lakeman, a large system passing over the area is causing the significant precipitation of wet rain and snow, but should lessen by Friday afternoon, with mainly cloudy skies expected and a chance of sunshine Saturday. “Right now, late Saturday

Profanity-laced Ford video released THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A new video showing a visibly outraged Rob Ford in an expletivelaced tirade threatening to kill someone is extremely embarrassing, the embattled mayor said Thursday as pressure mounted on him to resign. As he has done previously, Ford told a crush of reporters outside his office he was drunk at the time, and called the outburst a mistake. “Obviously, I was extremely, extremely inebriated,” Ford said within minutes of the video being made public. “I’ve made mistakes. I don’t know what to say.” The context of the video is unknown and it’s unclear who the target of Ford’s wrath is. The mayor called the video “extremely embarrassing” without explaining exactly why he was so enraged, although he said he

didn’t wish anyone to be in a similar state of intoxication. “That’s all I have to say for now,” he said, before leaving. The video, which lasts little longer than one minute, shows Ford pacing around angrily in what appears to be a living room. “I’m going to kill that f*ing guy. I’m telling you, it’s firstdegree murder,” Ford rants. “I’ll fight him. No holds barred, brother. He dies or I die, brother.” The mayor goes on to warn that he will rip out the person’s throat and poke his eyes out. “I need f*ing 10 minutes to make sure he’s dead. It’ll be over in five minutes.” “I am a sick motherf*r, dude.” The video - which appears to have been shot by cellphone - was posted by the Toronto Star and the Toronto Sun on their websites. A source close to the mayor told the

Sun that it “looks a lot worse than it really is” since “he sometimes goes off on tangents.” Ford’s lawyer Dennis Morris called the context of the video “skeletal.” “Was it taken eight, 10 months ago or a short time ago?” Morris told the Associated Press.Ford admitted on Tuesday he has smoked crack cocaine in a “drunken stupor,” but said he’s not stepping down. The admission came days after police Chief Bill Blair said investigators had recovered another video - first reported in May - showing Ford apparently smoking crack cocaine. Coun. Denzil Minnan-Wong, a member of Ford’s executive committee, said he planned to ask council next week to petition the province to oust the mayor if he doesn’t take a leave of absence. “Extraordinary measures are needed in extraordinary

times,” Minnan-Wong said. “There is increasing intolerance from members of council, from friend and foe alike on council. Ontario Municipal Affairs Minister Linda Jeffrey, who earlier in the day reaffirmed the province had no plans to step in, said she would now await the council resolution. While Ford has previously said he had “nothing left to hide,” more embarrassing material may yet surface. An Ontario judge is expected to decide early next week whether remaining portions of a document that revealed Ford’s ties and covert meetings with an alleged drug dealer can be released. Toronto police had no comment on the latest developments.

No charges for mascot assault The Victoria News The Victoria Royals fan who bodyslammed the team’s mascot onto the ice during an intermission game last weekend won’t be facing charges. The anonymous employee underneath the Marty the Marmot costume has opted not to press assault charges against the fan from a Nov. 2 incident. The fan has since apologized for his behaviour. “In consultation with VicPD (the Royals and the fan in question) have decided to move to a restorative justice model to resolve the situation,” said Const. Mike Russell, Victoria police spokesman. On The Victoria Royals Hockey Club Facebook page, the organization said the “over-exuberant fan” acknowledged his actions were inappropriate and said the fan is making a “significant donation” to the team’s Movember Fund for prostate cancer awareness and treatment.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Photographer Editta Sherman, dubbed the “Duchess of Carnegie Hall” while living in a studio over the famed auditorium for six decades, has died. She was 101. Known for her photos of celebrities, Sherman died Friday in her sleep, a friend, Billy Lyons, said. Her funeral was held Tuesday, just as Bill de Blasio was elected mayor. Sherman had met de Blasio in 2007 - a New York City Council member fighting to keep artists from being evicted from centuryold studios above Carnegie Hall. The future mayor visited her there and they spoke Italian, learned from their immigrant families, Lyons

said. A muse of Andy Warhol, Sherman was known for her portraits of musicians, actors, sports stars, dancers and writers taken in the cavernous, light-flooded space where she partly raised her five children - in one of two towers 19th century industrialist Andrew Carnegie had built above the hall as an affordable artist enclave. Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Robert Redford studied acting there, Lucille Ball had voice coaching, and Leonard Bernstein wrote music. Sherman was “the big Italian mamma who was always making a pot of chicken soup in her darkroom,” said Lyons, an actor a third her age.

Senior’s Lifestyle Community Pugilist’s statue finds place in history Keeps Winter at Bay JOE FRAZIER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA Joe Frazier’s statue has found new life on the two-year anniversary of the former heavyweight champion’s death. Frazier’s statue was set to be erected by spring 2014 at an entertainment complex near Philadelphia’s three sports stadiums near the now-demolished Spectrum, an arena where he fought. Plans to place the Frazier tribute in the same complex that is already home to the statues of Julius Erving and the Broad Street Bullies were sidetracked when the sculptor commissioned by a city panel to create the statue, Lawrence J. Nowlan, died in August. Philadelphia sculptor Stephen Lane has picked the project off the mat and was selected to create a piece that should be finished by the end of next year. Frazier died Nov. 7, 2011 after a brief battle with liver cancer at the age of 67. Philly boxer Bernard Hopkins was among the prominent boosters who helped the city reach its $150,000 fundraising

goal for the statue. “Smokin’ Joe” slugged his way to the heavyweight title

in 1971 by becoming the first boxer to beat Muhammad Ali. They fought two more

classic bouts, including 1975’s “Thrilla in Manila.” Frazier lost both rematches.

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. Open daily; call Mountain Side Village at (250) 367-9870 for more information or to book a tour.

Truth means never having to say you’re sorry

wo well-known Canadian politicians have been in the hot seat the past few weeks. And conventional wisdom has it that things would cool off considerably for them if they would just apologize. What a load of hooey. Rob Ford, Toronto’s divisive mayor, tried to do just that on his weekly radio talk show. First, he offered a general apology for letting down both his family and constituents, but he didn’t specify what transgressions he was begging forgiveness for. The next day, he admitted he was sorry for smoking crack cocaine. “I know I embarrassed everyone in the city and I will be forever sorry,” he read from a statement. “There is only one person to blame for this and that is myself. I know admitting my mistake was the right thing to do and I feel like a thousand pounds have been lifted off my shoulders.” His supporters were predictably sympathetic, but not the councillors he faces off against. They seized on his apology as further evidence that he should step

down. Even Ontario’s premier is wondering how Toronto City Hall can function amidst all the chaos. So . . . the jury is still out on whether this apology did any good, or simply dug the mayor deeper into a dark hole. The other politician in question has taken a very different tack. After Prime Minister Stephen Harper was confronted with accusations from Senator Mike Duffy that he had known of (and therefore implicitly authorized) a two-cheque payoff from the PMO, Harper was defiant in his denials and bombastic in his rhetoric - lashing out at not just Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau, but also at the Ottawa “elites” and those obstructionist judges in the Supreme Court whom he accused of getting in the way of Senate reform. “These senators have shown little or no remorse for these actions,” he told delegates at the Conservative convention in Calgary. “In private life, you would be fired for doing anything resembling this.” Harper reportedly touched a chord with his core supporters, but

failed to sway his critics. Conservative columnist Andrew Coyne called Harper’s attack a “damp recital of past slogans, this parody of a parody of an empty cliché of a speech, this 4,000-word migraine.” Hmmm. That didn’t work so well, either. So, what’s a beleaguered politician to do? In a fascinating 2006 examination on the subject in Harvard Business Review, Barbara Kellerman explores the complexities of deciding when it’s best to say you’re sorry - and when it’s best to hold back. An apology, she wrote, is “a performance in which every expression matters and every word becomes part of the public record.” Ask golfer Tiger Woods,

whose 2010 public apology for cheating on his thenwife was broadly viewed as a cynical and manipulative attempt to salvage his lucrative endorsement contracts, and therefore failed to achieve its objective. Kellerman says the U.S. in particular has developed “an apology culture”, in which the number of apologies are on the rise just as public commentators are extolling the need for such actions. “Apologies are a tactic leaders now frequently use in an attempt to put behind them, at minimal cost, the errors of their ways.” One almost misses the day before social media and camera phones, when politicians’ misdeeds required no apology because they were reported late - or not at all. The problem for politicians today is that when an action becomes prescribed orthodoxy, it is perilously close to losing its potential to achieve its desired outcome. Once apologies are expected, doing so simply fulfils an expectation. There is no genuine and unprovoked humility, and therefore little reason to

respond with forgiveness. I have no doubt that Rob Ford regrets smoking crack cocaine. After all, it’s threatening his ability to hold a job he claims to love. However, there is no evidence in his words that he regrets the act - only the consequences. At the same time, I am also convinced that Stephen Harper has no regret for whatever role he may have played in the Senate spending scandal. His words suggest he feels no fault, and, under those circumstances, any apology would be inauthentic. If you can’t say it like you mean it, then you shouldn’t say it at all. Like the word “awesome,” apologies are suffering for overexposure. And coming from the mouths of these politicians, they are not just meaningless - they are offensive. It’s better to answer one simple question instead: If you had it all to do over again - and you didn’t think you’d get caught - would you do anything different? That’s the true test of remorse.

Letters & Opinion Letters to the editor

Time to end FortisBC’s lockout Is the community not tired of the continual rate increases asked for by FortisBC to the BC Utilities commission? To the tune of 10 per cent since the beginning of this year. And just wait until the smart meters are put in and see what your bill is going to be. We are not fortunate enough to have another utility provider that can force competition on Fortis. We as a consumer are under their control. This is not a local corporation and therefore the ties to the community are not here. Already employees have quit FortisBC since this lockout and are employed elsewhere. So their dollar is no longer being spent in the community. This corporation locks its employees out because they want to control them too and do not want to share the huge profits they make each and every year. Do you really think a 2 per cent wage increase to the

employees will bring this company to its knees when the CEO makes over $1.3 million dollars a year. I know wages aren’t the only bargaining chip on the table they are looking at but when CEO’s earn this much in one year while they have put employees out of work shows just how much they care about their employees and welfare of this community. This lockout I’m quite sure is being felt in the downtown business core. I’m fortunate to have a job while my husband is on this lockout to help pay our bills and purchase food. There is no extra spending. Think about those that don’t have two incomes in the family household. Do you think FortisBC cares? They need to get back to the bargaining table and do it in good faith and think about the community they are affecting. We as a whole need to send complaints to BC Utility Commissions and show our dis-

agreement to these continual rates increases every year while this company locks out its employees and is still reaping huge profit. There is a link to input complaints online on BC Utility Commission webpage. We’re surrounded by dams that produce electrical power, yet our rates are the highest. Does that not make you wonder what the heck is going on? One dam is 15 minutes up the road. Our rates should be the lowest since the power is right in our own backyard. If the community at large backs the people that do their shopping here, that support this community whole-heartedly, then FortisBC will need to sit up and take notice that it’s not going to be tolerated now or in the future. Make a stand today and help these men and women that have been without pay since the end of June. Darcy Ashby Warfield

Union leader calls for union-led revolt against Tory policies THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - It’s time for Canada’s labour movement to mobilize for a counterattack against the Harper government’s anti-union policies, a Quebec labour leader said Thursday. Jean Lortie, general secretary of the Confederation des syndicats nationaux, says the federal government has declared war on unions and the middle class and it’s time to fight back. “Everything that this government is doing on its antiunion agenda is attacking middle-class Canadians,” Lortie told a news conference. He said resolutions at the Conservative convention in Calgary last week, including some aimed at the CBC, showed a deep anti-union sentiment. “I was there in Calgary last week and it was incredible,” Lortie said. “In recent history we haven’t seen that in

Canada - such a declaration of war against people and against Radio-Canada and CBC.” Treasury Board President Tony Clement spoke in favour of some of the Calgary resolutions and has made it clear recently that he is ready to take on the public service unions in his quest for budget savings. “You don’t level the playing field by saying public sector employees are given a by on the state of the economy,” Clement said this week. “That isn’t right, it isn’t just. “It’s not conservative. It’s not in the public interest.” If budget are to be balanced, then public service salaries and pensions and sick leave must be addressed, he said. Lortie predicted trouble if the federal government goes too far - imposing U.S.-style right-to-work legislation, for instance, or attacking the

long-standing formula that governs mandatory union dues. “Don’t cross that line, because it’s going to be open war, it’s going to be hell,” he said. “Don’t go there, because you’re going to attack millions of workers in this country, millions of families.” NDP labour critic Alexandre Boulerice said the Harper government is trying to use unions to mask its own problems. “They are just trying to focus out of their own incapabilities,”he said. “It is a right-wing agenda, a very strongly right-wing agenda on demonizing groups.” Lortie said efforts are in the works to organize a “rainbow coalition” of unions, environmentalists and other social activist groups to bring 20,000 people to Ottawa next summer to oppose the government’s agenda.

City dissolves pool society

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Rossland News

The city has dissolved the Rossland Pool Society. Operation of one of the oldest civic outdoor pools in the province has been officially handed over to the city, which owns the pool. City council voted on Oct. 15 to dissolve the society that has operated the pool for much of its existence.

In 2011 the remaining member of the Rossland Swimming Pool Society asked the city to take over the operation of the swimming pool. Membership to the society had reached an “all-time low and volunteer burn out was imminent.” The city has now run the pool for two summers (2012 &2013) and has a good understanding of the financial and operational

demands of the facility. “I think it’s time we took it over officially,” said councilor Tim Thatcher. “It’s our asset so we may as well run it.” However, the facility is aging and is struggling to keep up with changing provincial safety legislation, according to a city staff report. The city has been notified by Interior Health that chlorine stor-

age and the mechanical room do not meet current provincial requirements And, despite steady usage, the pool continues to operate at a financial loss and the facility is in need of capital upgrades. The pool had reached a critical level of depreciation and experienced staff are often needed to trouble shoot maintenance and safety issues, read the report.

A business person from the Lower Mainland is planning to establish a medical marijuana operation in Meadowbrook. On Nov. 1, the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) board voted to begin amendments to the Kimberley Rural Zoning Bylaw to regulate medical marijuana. Board Chair Rob Gay said that a business person approached the board to find out where the RDEK would stand on a medical marijuana operation within its boundaries. The federal government has approved new regulations for medical marijuana operations, which will come into effect on April 1, 2014. It will be up to the

local government to zone properties so that they can control where the medical marijuana operations are located. The new regulations will also contain stringent guidelines, including 24-hour monitoring of the site. Inside a municipality, the operations would need a business license. But the regional district does not require licenses for businesses outside municipalities. Gay said because the regulations are so new, the board is a little “green” about how to regulate grow operations. “The motion was around us trying to catch our bylaws up to the rules and see if that would be a permitted use on the land,” he said.

Morning and Evening Prayer Prayer can be unplanned and spontaneous, and sometimes the spontaneous prayer that flows out of an abundance of spirit is exactly the right prayer for the moment. But, more often than not, it is best to have a prayer routine. People who take their spirituality seriously usually have set times when they pray. Morning and Evening prayer are perhaps the most common times, but many also add a midday prayer. Praying shortly after arising in the morning and shortly before going to bed “bookends” our day with the sacred. It also helps to have a prayer book or some systematic way to pray. If you have never done this, invest in a prayer book and try it for a month or two. Most prayer regimens are fairly simple and need not be very time-consuming. Five or ten minutes each morning and evening will be time well-spent. So, perhaps you could check out your local Christian bookstore or ask your Pastor for guidance with this. You will be amazed at how regular prayer will improve the quality of your life. – Christopher Simon

The mysterious fundraising logic of church teas

he annual fall church tea and bazaar has withstood the test of time. While it is assumed to be a good fundraiser, the real benefits of the event lay in its ability to strengthen the community. In fact, if we consider the cost of the event versus the funds raised, the church tea and bazaar is an inefficient way of raising funds. A few examples will illustrate my point. At a recent tea, I received the equivalent of a sandwich and a selection of sweets, plus my beverage for $2. Certainly, the ingredients alone were worth more louise than the ticket price. This is also true for the bazaar, where Everyday Theology the cost of the goods donated exceeds the sale price, and completely discounts the value of people’s time and skill level. At the sewing and knitting tables, one can buy expertly handcrafted items for less than the cost of materials. The same thing happens at the bake table. I purchased cupcakes for 25 cents each. This is a great deal; made from scratch, a frosted chocolate cupcake, in a paper baking cup costs 69 cents. Made from a cake mix, it’s 44 cents. The mystery table, while extraordinarily fun, may quite possibly be the most illogical fundraiser ever conceived. For this table, people purchase gifts, wrap them, and label them with the age range and sex for which the gift is most appropriate. Even if someone “re-gifts” an item, its value is greater than the standard mystery table price of a loonie or toonie. A person can easily donate $20 or more in mystery gifts, only to sell them for a whopping $4 or $5. As a matter of economics, the logical conclusion is that the church tea and bazaar is inefficient as a fundraiser. So, why bother? Wouldn’t it be better if we all just made a cash donation? My unequivocal answer is, “No.” There is more at stake here than making money. While it is true that the event attracts more women than men, it brings members of a church together whose paths may typically cross only on a Sunday. It gives them an opportunity to work cooperatively towards a common goal despite their varied interests and abilities. In our town, the event is an ecumenical gathering, as well as a popular gathering place for the secular community. At the church tea and bazaar, people renew acquaintances, catch up on family news, and make arrangements to get together. There is a hustle and bustle about church teas that has more to do with relationships than with money. The church tea and bazaar has withstood the test of time because it helps fulfill the basic human need of belonging. It is an inclusive event in which everyone, regardless of age, socio-economic status or belief, can participate. The profits, though helpful for the church, are secondary to the task of bringing people together. We would be less of a community without it.

Smokies host ‘Hawks forge Special bond with Roadrunners Spruce Kings BCHL

BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

The Trail Smoke Eaters face-off against the Prince George Spruce Kings tonight with a two-game unbeaten streak on the line and an undefeated Smoke Eater coach. It was a good start for new Trail coach Nick Deschenes, as the Smokies picked up 3-of-4 points last weekend, with a convincing 5-1 victory over Interior-division leaders West Kelowna Warriors and a 4-4 tie with the Island division’s second seed, Victoria Grizzlies, Friday night. “It’s always tough when things get shaken up the way they do, and there’s a coaching change, but I thought for the most part the boys responded really well,” said Deschenes. The former coach of the KIJHL’s Grand Forks Border Bruins was behind the bench for his first two games after replacing Bill Birks who was let go two weeks ago. While it is Deschenes first coaching tenure at the Junior A level, the players and coach seem to be on the same page as the team responded by counting its first point in 10 games versus the Grizz Friday night and then over-ran the Warriors Saturday. “I thought we prepared very well for both teams we played last weekend, and it’s going to be the same procedure; we’re going to go over their forecheck, over the D-zone coverage, neutral-zone play, specialty teams,” said Deschenes. “As a group I was actually very pleased that we made some corrections prior to the games, and then during the game, and the players were able to apply that quite quickly, so I’m pretty optimistic that as long as we’re aware and prepared we have an advantage there.” Trail beat the Spruce Kings 4-2 in their first meeting in Prince George on Sept. 21, but that was before the Smokies’ precipitous slide. P.G. has picked up a point in six straight games, with four wins and two OT losses. Still, the Smoke Eaters can take advantage of a depleted King’s lineup with injuries to Bryant Christian, Jake LeBrun, Mitch Barker, Justin Rai and Cole Todd. Prince George will also be without goaltender Jesse Jenks who is playing in the Junior A Challenge in Yarmouth, N.S. with Team Canada West. However, Alex Murray is no slouch between the pipes going 7-6-0 with a 2.50 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage. The Smoke Eaters meanwhile are without goalie Adam Todd and forward Tyson Witala who will likely be out two to three weeks with a lower body injury. Scott Davidson returns to the lineup Friday after sitting out a two-game suspension. Trail then travels to Salmon Arm Saturday to play the SilverBacks. The Backs, 10-8-1-1, are in fifth spot in the Interior divison but just four points out of first place. “I have seen them play. Their ‘D’ are very mobile and they move the puck very well, and the forwards are pretty smart and they attack the net very well. They are a good team and we’re going to bring the best that we got.” The puck drops tonight at 7:30 p.m.

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks and Special Olympic Roadrunners went head-to-head in another spirited floor hockey matchup on Tuesday at the Trail Middle School, but when the dust settled it was the Roadrunners downing the Hawks in a shoot out.

Thompson leads Roadrunners over Hawks BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

The Trail Special Olympic Roadrunners chose a good time to pick on a struggling Beaver Valley Nitehawks’ team as they renewed their rivalry on the hard court in a spirited game of ringette hockey at the Trail Middle School on Tuesday. The Roadrunners scored an impressive shootout victory over the Hawks, with the electric Jordy Thompson potting the shootout winner and leading the way with a hat trick on a porous Hawks’ forward-comenetminder in Keenan Patershuk. “This is a great give back by the Hawks,” said Special O coach Ben Postmus. “Our players look forward to each match. It’s a great opportunity to show off their skills with the Hawks players, and they are all such good sports.” This is the third year that the Hawks

have partnered with the Special Olympians, with the players meeting at the school every Tuesday to mentor and practice with the Special O floor hockey team. “It’s a wonderful thing to be involved with,” said Nitehawk coach Terry Jones. “We periodically have games with them, and they reciprocate and come to our games, it’s been a terrific experience for our boys.” The Roadrunners have been very focused and working extremely hard to improve their game and qualify for the B.C. Special Olympic Winter Games, and will play in the Regional qualifiers this winter. “Thanks to the Nitehawks, we are getting closer and closer to reaching our goal of qualifying for the next Games.” said Postmus. “I can’t say enough about the local support we get, and all the groups that want to come out and play our floor Hockey group. What a night. So much fun, tons of laughs, and so many

smiles on faces.” The Special Olympians also receive great support from organizations like Kootenay Savings, 44th Field Engineers, Trail RCMP, Fruitvale and Warfield Firefighters, School District 20, and Fruitvale Elementary School teachers.

The Nitehawks meanwhile get set to play the Fernie Ghostriders on Saturday at the B.V. Arena. The Hawks are coming off a tough Okanagan road trip, losing 2-of-3, before succumbing to the Special Olympic Roadrunners on Tuesday. “Yea we gave up another three-goal lead (to the Roadrunners) then lost in a shootout,” said Jones. The Hawks have blown a few third period leads of late; a fivegoal cushion against Nelson last month and a three-goal lead against Kelowna Friday in a 7-6 OT loss. “We have to work on our discipline, it’s been

a big factor for us, and our consistency. When we play good, man we are a good team, but when we let things get away from us, with momentum, we just haven’t been able to respond.” The Hawks also need consistency between the pipes. Injury has played a part, with four different goalies making appearances this season, but Jones says, “We also have to get a save when we need to. We’re not getting the goaltending that we need to get to be successful.” The 9-6-0-1 Ghostriders are in second spot in the Eddie Mountain div-

ision and will give the Hawks all they can handle on Saturday. “We expect the game with Fernie to be a tough match, you know Dale Hladun’s teams always work hard and so they’ll be ready to knock us off.” The Nitehawks will then face the Spokane Braves at the Hawks Nest on Sunday. The Braves are much improved, taking the league-leading Nelson Leafs into overtime last week, before bowing to Castlegar 3-2 Sunday. The puck drops versus Fernie at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, and against Spokane at 7 p.m. on Sunday.

RETIREES CURLING

Hall steals one for win BY TIMES CONTRIBUTOR

In Retirees Curling at the Trail Curling Club, Primo Secco team faced a troublesome Coke Koyanagi foursome in a tight game. The big end came in the seventh, when Secco took out Koyanagi to sit three and ice the 6–4 final. In a high scoring game with lots of rocks in play, the Harvey Handley foursome took on the Wayne Wyton rink. Down by three in the eighth end without hammer the Wyton team clawed out a tie by stealing three, to make the

final 9 – 9. In a duel that saw both skips making great shot all game, it was Serge Pasquali that would score four multi-point ends to top the Forest Drinnan foursome, 9–5. The Murray Walsh rink dominated a game against the Tom Hall rink, but a pick in the seventh end on Murray’s last rock, let the Hall foursome score four and tie the game. After a hit and roll to the back of the four foot by Hall, a tough draw to the button came up just light to give the Hall side a 6 – 5 win.

Remembering Heslop: a good player, better friend

DAVE

Thompson Sports ‘n’ Things

mong the things people didn’t hear or read about Fred Heslop since his passing were that he was young once, and a pretty talented hockey player. Before he coached a B.C. Juvenile championship team, he played on at least one, doing both within a decade. He also played on at least two other

provincial winners at other levels. Fred was a decent scorer and usually one of the fastest skaters on those rep teams, and a good teammate, well-liked while a competitor, just as he was while working in other areas of his favourite game. Just thought those who only knew Fred when he had grown into that executive body might like to know he succeeded at many hockey tasks over the years that required skills he didn’t use as a coach, executive or organizer, and made many lifelong friends in the process. RIP Freddy. • Besides the most abysmal start of any Smoke Eater branded club to my knowledge,

the ‘69-70 senior team was memorable for pieces of its makeup, as well. There were two immigrant Czechs in the mix for a while, both motivated to come to Canada by the sight of Russian tanks rolling by their front room windows the previous summer - during the USSR/ Eastern Bloc crushing of the, “Prague Spring,” - and to Trail in particular because of the legend of Trailite Mike Buchna, an iconic father of the Czech hockey system which produced Olympic and world champions while the two were growing up. The fact they played only a month or so and produced less than mediocre results

(23 games, 10 points between them) made their claims to have been national B team up-and-comers in a hockey-mad and very accomplished country and system a little suspect, but they were nice guys. Getting acclimatized to the rough and tumble of WIHL play may have hindered their development, but they make an interesting footnote to an interesting Smokie season. • The junior Smokies had kind of a turnaround weekend, and that is good, especially if they have gained some confidence. BUT, they are still second worst in the league at both scoring goals and preventing them and were

Stop taking brother’s anger personally Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

-- Little Sister in Need Dear Little Sister: Can you create a tougher skin? You need to stop taking your brother’s anger personally. His comments have nothing to do with your intelligence, your personality or your opinion on any subject. It’s about his need to be in control of every situation, and at the bottom of that need is fear. Empower yourself. Learn to smile indulgently and ignore him or say calmly, “I guess we simply disagree.” If you can create a different dynamic by refusing to be your brother’s favorite target, your entire rela-

us to go to specialty stores. I would like to find clothes in my size in any store. Wake up, corporate America! Americans are getting bigger. You can make lots of money if you offer decent clothes for big women. -- I Need Nice Clothes, Too Dear Need: Actually, there are more stores carrying larger sizes than ever before. And the selections range from inexpensive to pricey. There also are multiple places online to find larger sizes. There may not yet be the same variety of styles and selections as there are for smaller sizes, but it’s much more inclusive than it used to be. The market will go where the money is. It just takes time. Dear Annie: I sympathize with “Regrets in Paradise,” the 57-year-old woman who is in an unhappy marriage to a 61-yearold man. She discovered after they married

that he isn’t the same guy and simply wants her to take care of him. I am a 75-year-old widow of six years. I have observed that most men my age are interested in women 20 years younger. I think they are looking for a “nurse with a purse,”

and I am better off as I am. For more than 50 years, I waited on my husband and took care of him through his last illness. He was the father of my two children, and I would have done anything for him, but I have no intention of going through

that again. -- Better Off Single Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net.

tionship could evolve. Enlist his wife’s help to keep visits pleasant. Whenever possible, see your nephew when your brother isn’t around. And they may both love it if you offer to take the baby for an hour or so. Win-win. Dear Annie: I know you have heard this before, but please tell major retailers to stock good-looking clothes for women size 3X and larger -- not those horrid blouses with prints that look like they came from my grandmother’s closet. I would love to buy a top that has sleeves that fit and a neckline that’s not trying to be sexy and to have choices in enough styles that I don’t have to buy four of the same item in different colors. We have money to spend on nice clothes if they were offered. Stores manage to sell affordable clothes for skinny girls, so how about the rest of us? And please don’t tell

2013 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Dear Annie: My older brother and I are both in our mid30s and have not gotten along for 20 years. He has been verbally, psychologically and at times physically abusive toward me. He has a ferocious temper, and if I say anything he doesn’t like, he lambastes me. I try to avoid him, but since the birth of my nephew (the cutest baby ever), that is not always possible. I like his wife and adore my nephew. Before a visit, I have trouble sleeping at night. I feel anxious and dread the hours passing in anticipation. When I get there, I try to stay silent and enjoy the baby, not doing anything that might make him lash out. I wish there was a way to heal my relationship with my brother. He doesn’t believe he’s done anything hurtful and thinks I should just “get over it.” I wish I could. Is there something I could do?

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, Nov. 9, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You can accomplish a lot today because you have the energy, focus and endurance to get the job done. Make a list, and make it so. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a great day for dancers, performing artists, professional athletes and anyone who uses vigorous energy to express him- or herself. You have discipline, control and focus today. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You can get an amazing amount done at home today. You can renovate, rebuild clean or shove furniture around. You’re determined to make some changes for the better. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) In discussion with others, you will be forthright, direct and convincing today. In a way, you are like a stuck record -- relentless.

This intense focus will bring results. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You will work hard to earn money today. You also will work equally hard to organize your finances and possessions, because you want to feel you are on top of your game. (You will be.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a good day for careful planning and executing projects with care and finesse. You’re disciplined, careful and detail-oriented. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Work alone or behind the scenes today, because you will be diligent and successful in any research project you undertake. This is because you are feeling persistent, patient and focused. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Work together with others to accomplish a great deal today. Cooperation, especially well-coordinated

cooperation, can make a huge difference. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs will be impressed with your steady effort and output today. You’re not going to stop until the job is done. (Impressive.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You’ll find it easy to study today, in large measure because you’re prepared to

work hard. Your powers of concentration are excellent, in addition to which you will not overlook details. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Differences about shared property, inheritances and insurance matters might be settled today, because you are relentless and patient at the same time. Ultimately, you will steamroll over others.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You can get a lot done working with others today, but you will have to be patient. With Mars opposite your sign now, you’re inclined to be irritated by others. Easy does it. YOU BORN TODAY You enjoy earthly pleasures and creature comforts, which is why you often think about temptation. This is because you live for the moment,
