Cab rides end this weekend SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
As the clock strikes midnight Saturday, local taxis will become a service of the past. There's no offer on the table from anyone interested in buying Castlegar Taxi or Champion Cabs says owner John Foglia, so that night, the local business is shutting its doors for good. Six drivers will be looking for work, and the area's elderly could be scrambling to find another way to make it to the
grocery store or medical clinic. “It's sad that this is happening,” said Foglia. “Because I think we will all pay for the business closing. But it's been five years of struggling before it finally came to this.” Foglia maintains that the lack of support from local municipalities and the Passenger Transportation Board (the provincial regulating body for passenger directed vehicles) has left the Trail businessman no choice but to close both cab
companies. “Nobody wants to run a small business unless it's feasible,” he said. “If you don't have people behind you to run it, I've come to the conclusion that everyone complains that the taxis are closing, but nobody wants to step forward to do anything about it.” Over time, the taxi service cut back its 24/7 service by 50 per cent due to a decline in ridership and a lack of sufficient rate increases, explained Foglia.

new antifreeze and an inspection of the cooling system. Roughly an hour labor is required. Firstly the vehicle must be driven to verify a few things. Does the engine get up to full temperature (Is the thermostat working correctly?) Do the cooling fans work correctly? Does the system build the correct pressure? These inspections are done most efficiently on a hot vehicle. The next step, draining out the old antifreeze goes much more safely and quickly on a cooled down vehicle (a good hour to cool down is nice). No one likes to play with a scalding water antifreeze mixture. Once the coolant is out, if the previous inspections showed a sticking thermostat, now would be the time to change it. While the car was cooling down the parts people got us the new thermostat. The mechanic worked on another job. Out comes the old thermostat and in goes the new.

coolant change but doing it now will save doing the whole drain and refill coolant process a second time during another appointment. Now the cooling system is ready to refill. Refilling cooling systems can be tricky. When done it is always best to make sure there are no air pockets left in the system. The best way to do that is run the vehicle to fully warm. Test that the heater produces good heat, then shut the vehicle down and let it cool down for an hour or two. At this point the coolant level should be checked and topped up as needed. So an hour of technician work required three or four hours of time with the vehicle at the shop. The time use was efficient and safe. The cooling system is full and functioning as designed. Under the pressure of a waiting client this job can be done without the two cooling off periods but the technician and the shop will appreciate the extra time to perform the job safely and verify the system is functioning as it was designed.

Electoral boundaries forum draws little interest in Trail By Liz Bevan Times Staff
Almost nobody from Trail showed up to Wednesday's B.C. Electoral Boundary Commission's stop at the Best Western Plus Columbia River Hotel. Trail was one of 29 municipalities the commission is visiting hoping to get some public input on what is or isn't working in the current electoral boundaries for provincial elections, but it seemed they didn't get much of a local response. Keith Archer, chief electoral officer for the commission, says the low turnout in the area could be because of amendments recently made to the Electoral Boundaries Commission Act, maintaining current levels of representation from northern and rural areas of the province. “I think that is one of the reasons we are not seeing people come out with a passionate defence of protecting their districts because those districts are now, to a certain extent, protected through the legislation,” he said. “There is a sense that there is a balance between the importance of representing population and the importance of representing rural areas with large geography and lesser population.”

Justice Tom Melnick, commission member Bev Busson and chief electoral officer Keith Archer were in Trail on Wednesday morning to garner public input on the current electoral districts. The meeting had nearly no attendees, and the commission says it is because there are few problems with the current division of the province's electoral boundaries. Throughout the commission's tour through the province, the group hasn't heard much about wanting to change the current boundaries in the more rural areas, like Trail. “We are finding that there is a feeling of leaving things alone and I think people like the status quo and they don't need to
advocate the status quo,” said Bev Busson, a member of the commission on the tour. Other members of the commission agree. “So far, there is one main voice and it is saying that (voters) are fairly satisfied with the way things are,” said Justice Tom Melnick, chair of the electoral boundary
Montrose
Village addresses flooding concerns By Sheri Regnier Times Staff
Global warming is packing a pricey punch on the streets of Montrose. The matter of climate change was at the core of a council discussion Monday evening because the phenomenon's impacts could soak up considerable taxpayer funds next year. The village presently collects $52.50 in a drainage parcel tax, which provides Montrose about $24,000 annually to
upgrade its storm sewer system. More frequent sudden and severe storm systems has lead to increased localized flooding and erosion, which is a pattern that is expected to worsen in the future. Under council's direction, Montrose staff had a local engineering firm complete a stormwater management plan that mapped and assessed the village's existing system and included strategies for the management
Construction to start by next year
FROM PAGE 1 “And now we can take advantage of the river’s low level next spring when construction begins.” The next step for the City of Trail is to finalize design plans that currently include a sixweek wind study, explained David Perehudoff, Trail’s chief administrative officer. “It is hoped that the city will tender the project in early 2015 and that construction will commence in late February or early March,” he said. “The bridge should be completed and ready for use within 12-14 months after construction starts.”

of rainwater. “The plan identified many deficiencies within the system including several under capacity pipes,” explained Kevin Chartres, Montrose's chief administrative officer (CAO). “Replacement of these pipes would require a major investment by the village, and for this reason, the plan focused more on affordable localized issues.” Chartres presented a few options for council to consider that focused on immediate at-risk streets which includes the area north from Third Street and east from Ninth Avenue. In that zone, the stormwater management report suggests that an artificial swale would manage water runoff and increase rainwater infiltration. The project would cost about $33,000 and include regrading the lane way and constructing a section of asphalt swale to mini-

mize erosion. Another pricier step, costing $53,000, includes a pipeline video inspection and storm sewer cleaning that would rate the system's overall condition and detail any localized issues. “Under capacity pipes have been performing adequately for decades with minor issues,” explained Chartres. “More frequent and intense storm events have been occurring... these events may begin to increase the incidents of localized flooding and erosion.” He referred to a September downpour that caused roadway flooding at Third Street and Ninth Avenue, as an example of the increased fallout of intense storms. “The condition of these pipes is unknown and flushing a video inspection is scheduled in 2015 according to the plan,” he said. “This will help determine if the vil-

lage will need to focus resources on replacement of these pipes as a priority.” Another option for council to consider is a $28,000 fix in the vacant lot adjacent to the gas station on the village's main drag. The area consistently ponds during rainfall events and snowmelt along with sediments blocking wastewater pipes. “This issues causes significant icing of the lane way and can be a safety hazard at times for vehicular and foot traffic,” Chartres added. With construction season coming to an end, council agreed to review the possibility of combining some of the improvements and deferring monetary decisions until next year's budget development. “I think this is good,” said Montrose mayor Joe Danchuk. “Because it will give us a little more money to do something bigger next year.”
commission. The commission makes the rounds of B.C. within a year of every other election, or every eight years, barring byelections, to see if everything is running smoothly. “Things can get out of whack because populations can change dramatically in some areas of the province,” said Melnick. “The basic principle is that each person has the right to vote and that is interpreted as each person has the right to be effectively represented in the legislature.” This time around, the commission has the option of adding up to two seats to the provincial legislature to allow for population growth, but those decisions won't be coming for at least another year. “We will be tabling our thought that the ideas that we have about how things can be improved (in May),” said Busson, adding that after their initial report, the province will be holding another round of public meetings before making any final report and decisions in November 2015. For those that wanted to have their say, but couldn't make it to Wednesday’s meeting, the commission has set up an online form at www.bc-ebc.ca. Input is being accepted until Nov. 16.

Provincial Penticton
Downtown revitalization pegged at $2 million By Steve Kidd
Penticton Western News
Revitalizing Penticton’s downtown is going to come at a price, starting with more than $2 million in upgrades for half of the 100 block of Main Street. Details, however, of the final cost and date to start turning the street into a part-time park will not be known until later this year. “All the details of what that park will be in terms of cost and
funding will come back through the 2015 budget process,” said Anthony Haddad, director of planning. Penticton city council voted Monday to move ahead with the local area improvement process, that, if ratified by the landowners in the 100 and 200 blocks of Main Street, will see that area upgraded in four phases. The first, though, to receive attention will be the North Park, the
name given to the plan to create a continuous space between Gyro Park and the Veteran’s Memorial park. According Haddad, two options were considered for the North Park: either close off Main Street entirely through that space, or set up a system making temporary closures easier. In the end, he told council, they went with a hybrid approach, leaving the street open to traffic

most of the time but adding some of the improvements from the full closure concept, like a throughway connecting Main and Martin allowing for diversion of traffic when the street is closed, and bringing the road level up to the same level as the parks on either side. If the plan goes ahead, landowners in the area will be expected to contribute 25 per cent of the costs of improvements in front of their properties, following the same pattern established for the recently completed upgrades to Martin Street and Westminster Avenue. The landowners’ portion of the costs
for that first stage of revitalization, Haddad said, came in under budget with the owners’ portion at $262,500 rather than the expected $297,000, which will be collected via a tax contribution over the course of 15 years. The next step, Haddad explained, is up to the property owners. “The local area petition process will need to commence and be completed prior to the 2015 budget process so that council can determine whether or not to proceed with funding all, a portion or none of the project, depending on the results of the landowner petition process.
Tougher penalties for distracted driving THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - Justice Minister Suzanne Anton is getting tough with distracted drivers in British Columbia. Anton says that effective Oct. 20, new laws will ensure motorists get three penalty points if they’re caught talking on a mobile device while driving. She says the points are in addition to the current $167 fine for drivers caught talking on a cell phone while behind the wheel. Drivers ticketed for texting while driving already get three penalty points, along with a fine of $167. Anton says the government will examine increasing the fines for distracted driver offences, but that Ontario’s fines of $1,000 seem too high. Anton says distracted driving is the secondleading cause of driver deaths in B.C. while speeding is the top reason for such deaths, with an average of 105 fatalities every year.
Register 16-year-old voters, suggests chief electoral officer THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - Registering voters as young as 16 for a B.C. election is one of three major recommendations the province’s chief electoral officer has made to law makers. Keith Archer says in his report to legislators released Tuesday that the voting age would remain at 18 but dropping the registration age would allow electoral officials to work with schools and driver-licensing programs. He says the lowest voter-registration rates are for people between the ages of 18 and 24. Archer’s recommendations for improving accessibility and efficiency call for a pilot program that would test new voting technologies for the disabled, although he says law makers should move slowly on Internet voting. District electoral officers should also be able to hold advance voting opportunities for limited hours, because Archer says some rural areas don’t have the population to justify a four-day advance polling period. The document that makes a number of technical changes comes ahead of another proposal for a new voting process that Archer plans to submit to legislators next spring.

The issue, presented to council by city staff Monday generated virtually no discussion by council. According to city staff, if approved, the sales and tastings would not likely start until next spring, given the timing of the public hearing in relation to the scheduled closure of the market for this season. The market, located in a parking lot opposite Orchard Park Shopping Centre, operates Wednesdays and Saturdays from the spring to fall each year and wants to allow local wineries, breweries and distilleries to sell their products on site but needs to a change in the zoning that covers the land the market currently operates on to do so. Alcohol sellers would also need a special permit from the city to sell at the public market. If approved, the market operators would determine which business can participate and when. City staff said they expect only one or two sellers would be permitted to participate in the market on any given day.

Lloyd Crowe Sr. High in 1974, Kathy attended Selkirk College in Castlegar for one year. Her deep love of music and children found its fulfillment in various avenues of employment over the years. Kathy moved to Castlegar in her early 20s where she eventually met Daniel Plante, and in 1985 they were married. Son David was born in 1987 and Matthieu in 1989. That same year the family moved to Quebec. Though later divorced and having to bear many serious health issues, Kathy faced them all with quiet perseverance, great courage and a steadfast faith in God. Her gentle soul and radiant smile will be dearly missed by her sons David and Matthieu (Catherine), sisters Mary Anne and Joy (Chris), niece Rebecca, special friend Pierre and his son Pierre-Henri, her extended family and a host of loyal friends. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Kathy’s life will be held on Saturday, Oct. 11, 2:00p.m., at the Salvation Army Church in Trail, 2030 Second Ave., with Major Heather Harbin presiding.

Opposition dials back pressure on government’s Iraqi war commitment THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA – The Opposition New Democrats pledged Wednesday to keep the government’s feet to the fire over Canada’s new combat mission to Iraq but they turned down the heat considerably. The last few weeks have been characterized by nearly relentless political pressure on the Conservatives to detail plans for Canada’s military to join an international air strike campaign against extremists. Yet the tone of debate in the aftermath of Tuesday night’s vote to send Canadian fighter planes and surveillance aircraft into the skies against Iraq was less intense. New Democrat Leader Tom Mulcair said nothing has changed in terms of his party’s position. ``We have the greatest respect individually for the brave women and men who serve in our military, but that doesn’t mean that we now agree with the government’s decision on this mission,’’
he told reporters Wednesday. ``We firmly and continually disagree with the mission they’ve put forward.’’ Mulcair said it was his role to keep at Prime Minister Stephen Harper for more details. ``I’m going to continue asking the questions that I have to ask as leader of the opposition, that’s my role here in Parliament, holding the government to account, saying what we would do differently,’’ he said. ``We’re going to continue to do that. We hope that the government is a bit more forthcoming than it has been.’’ Mulcair half got his wish _ Harper did reveal some new information during question period in terms of where the planes are coming from. Up to six CF-18s will be deployed from 4 Wing Cold Lake, one CC-150 Polaris will be deployed from 8 Wing Trenton and two CP-140 Auroras will be deployed from 14 Wing Greenwood, the gov-
ernment confirmed. Where they are going remains unknown. ``The military is continuing to work on the deployment plan and I’m not at a position at this point to confirm where that deployment will be,’’ Harper said. The government motion expressly excludes the potential of joining any ground combat mission in Iraq, though it did extend the deployment of special forces working as advisers to Iraqi and Kurdish forces battling back the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant. ISIL is a splinter group of al-Qaeda now waging a brutal campaign against religious minorities and women in Iraq and Syria in order to gain control of territories there. The U.S. began a bombing campaign against their positions in Iraq in August. Nations including Britain and France have now joined, using similar justifications as Canada’s that the Iraqi government has asked for help to beat back
ISIL. But as the campaign moves into Syria, several nations have backed away from air strikes there, fearful of any action that could be seen in support of Syrian President Bashar Assad, reviled by much of the West for his role in the brutal civil war in that country. Canada, however, has left the door open to dropping bombs if Assad were to request assistance. The NDP have repeatedly questioned that decision and it also caused one Liberal MP to break ranks with his leader’s assertion that caucus would vote unanimously against the mission. Prominent Liberal MP Irwin Cotler explained Wednesday he had no choice but

Wadena fire chief Harold Narfason says a small fire that was still burning is out and everyone from Clair, which has a population about 50, and surrounding farms has been given the all clear to go home. “There is no risk to the public now,” Narfason said Wednesday morning. “There’s no concerns about pollutants in
the air. Everything is falling into place quite nicely.” Narfason said the decision to lift the evacuation order was made jointly by fire, emergency response and CN officials. The 100-car freight train derailed Tuesday about 190 kilometres east of Saskatoon. A few of the 26 cars that left the track were carrying petroleum products and caught fire. Narfason said a highway nearby was still closed while workers cleared the tracks and put in new rail bed, but it was expected to reopen by 6 p.m. He said any product
remaining in the tanker cars also needed to be removed. CN spokesman Jim Feeny says rail crews worked through the night. “We’ve cleared the last of the derailed cars off the track and we have now begun to rebuild the track,” he said. “We expect to have the line back in operation later today.” Environmental testing has begun and the results will be shared with authorities and residents, said Feeny, who added the Transportation Safety Board was also on site and had begun its investigation. When asked about a
resident’s concern that work had been done recently on the section of track where the derailment occurred, Feeny said maintenance happens regularly. “We’re on the track all the time. The track was visually inspected
Monday, the day before the incident, and it was found to be clear. There were no exceptions noted. The track was in safe operating condition.” Feeny said the train was going within the speed limit of 40 km/h on that section.

to abstain. He has been calling for air strikes on Syria for years, he noted, but the notion of carrying them out at the request of the Syrian government defeats the purpose. ``I could never support this resolution put forth by Harper because he made it contingent on the acceptance by Syrian President Assad for those operations _ the very person against whom I said military operations should be convened in order to hold him accountable for his war crimes,’’ Cotler said. Trudeau rejected the notion that Cotler’s abstention reflected on greater divisions within his caucus, saying they had had a robust discussion prior to the vote.

Finally a bridge over troubled waters
W
ith word that the partners involved in the new sewer line construction coming to a mutual agreement, there’s a ray of hope after all for our local governments. Ironically with just over a month away from municipal elections, it was refreshing to hear that local representatives actually worked out a deal that all sides can agree on. It’s no secret that the past few years have been plagued by more arguments than agreements to the point that citizens are demanding their elected spokespersons work together to find a solution instead of the knee-jerk reaction of taking opposing views. Adversarial politics works well in headlines and for newscasts but rarely solves issues that matter to the very citizens whose lives are affected. It’s also no surprise that the latest Trail Times online poll, albeit unscientific, showed 70 per cent of respondents were unsatisfied with the performance of their
elected representatives. And perhaps that’s the larger issue here. We’ve been desensitized to the constant bickering on the political front. We see the disingenuous responses to questions in Parliament by the ruling party. We see emotions boil over into inflammatory rhetoric south of the border. Our provincial government only recently apologized for its “heavyhanded” firings of health staff in light of a data breach. Only a tearful plea from someone who lost a family member due to the firings was there finally an admission of guilt and apology. Sadly this is what the state of “big league” politics has become – nonanswers in Parliament by those accountable, apologies from politicians only in response to bad press and the usual malaise of mutual disrespect. Perhaps we were led to believe the same is happening at the local level with dissenting views on everything from bridges, to pools to boundaries.

And while many of those issues continue to simmer, and impact the daily lives of local citizens, solving one could be the tip of the iceberg. The players involved in solving the sewer issue believe it was the ability to sit down without distraction or other parties that enabled an amicable resolution. I like to believe it also has something to do with the chorus of voices growing from Rossland to Fruitvale demanding our representatives to work together and not against each other. That bodes well for the slate of candidates run-
ning in the coming election. It’s an opportunity for the political veterans to see that agreements can be forged. And it’s an eye-opener for the newcomers in the race to see that things can change from the usual posturing. There’s no denying our lives are dependent on each other and the same holds true for communities. Success for one usually has a ripple effect despite what some may claim. Expansion at Red Mountain is not only good for Rossland but also good for Trail in the form of tourism dollars. Senior-friendly initiatives in Beaver Valley resonate throughout the province and enhance the attractiveness of our region. Trail’s efforts to revitalize its downtown and beautify the riverfront give people of the area another reason to extol the virtues of our corner of the West Kootenay. There’s no magic solution to get everybody on
the same page. It’s as easy as ending the parochial views that have been so prevalent in regional debate of late. And that’s where the voter can play a role. And I stress the word “voter” because it’s through your vote that the message is sent. In reality, our representatives aim to do what is best for their constituents. You can’t blame them for that. But if we, as constituents, continue to get the message across that co-operation is better than confrontation, then maybe the tide will turn. On the other hand it doesn’t mean suddenly all concerns will be addressed and resolved to everyone’s satisfaction. Much like everyday life, there is some give-andtake. To quote the Rolling Stones, “You can’t always get what you want but if you try sometimes you might find you get what you need.” Guy Bertrand is the managing editor of the Trail Times.

and thirteen years later an “Islamic Caliphate” has taken power in the northern and western parts of that country. Osama bin Laden would have condemned the extreme cruelty that the new Islamist state has adopted as its modus operandi, but in essence it is the fulfilment of the grand strategy that he worked out after the Russians left Afghanistan a quarter-century ago. He could not have predicted that the strategy’s greatest success would be in Iraq, for he had no allies or followers there before the US invasion, but he would still take credit for it. So now that Osama bin Laden’s vision has finally taken concrete shape, how should we deal with it? (“We” in this case is practically every regime in the Arab world, most of the other Muslim countries, and all of the NATO countries, with Russia and China in supporting roles). ISIS’s behaviour is abominable, but is there any better option than simply bombing it from a great height? Rule one in the old antiterrorism doctrine was DON’T OVERREACT, and it still applies. That means as little bombing as possible, and only of strictly military targets. Preferably, it would mean no bombing at all except in specific areas where ISIS troops are on the offensive. It means not letting yourself be lured into more extreme action by the public beheading of innocent hostages and the other atrocities that ISIS stages to attract a certain kind of recruit. Indeed, it means not launching a major ground offensive against ISIS (for which the troops are not available anyway), and waiting for events to take their course within the ‘Islamic State’. Regimes as radical and violent as this one rarely survive for long. The revolution will eat its children, as so many have before, and it will happen a lot more quickly if they don’t have a huge foreign military threat to hold them together.

Nitehawks get down to BASE-ics Kootenay Major Midgets HOCKEY
put Blazers on Ice
BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
The Beaver Valley Nitehawks are getting ‘Nasty,’ having teamed up with BASE Hockey in a joint effort to get a stick up on the competition. The ‘Nasty’ is the new line of hockey stick produced by BASE Hockey out of Burnaby, a company started by former Vancouver Canuck Cliff Ronning in 2010 that designs and manufactures specialized hockey sticks for amateur players. But what is truly unique about BASE is that you don’t shop online or in a store, rather a team of hockey technicians travel to the team’s home, in this case Fruitvale, to analyze each player’s shot, and identify what type of stick will yield the best results for a particular player. “What they are doing is fitting us with lie and flex and different curve,” said Nitehawk defenceman Andrew Miller. “They take a recording of your shot in slow motion and they show you where you’re releasing the puck, where you’re hitting the ice and if the stick is flexing too much or not enough, and then they pick what stick works best for you and how you shoot.” The test sticks come with interchangeable shafts and blades in a variety of specs. The video analysis breaks down the player’s shot frame-by-frame, and stick technicians Spencer Nicol and Carson David analyze the players’ address, feet and hand position, wind up, contact, and follow-through to determine the best flex, best lie, and the best curve for the player to get the maximum yield off the stick. “The biggest thing we’re finding is proper flex, and then we’re finding a lot of players are using curves they shouldn’t be using and, also, the height of the stick is incorrect,” said BASE representative Brandon McKinnon. “So as we go through the process we’re always

finding a minimum of two or three things that we can fit the individual so they can get better performance off the tool they are using, which is their hockey stick.” The graphite sticks are designed by one of the best engineers in hockey, BASE co-owner and founder of the first composite-stick company in North America, Ron Kunisaki. The Nasty is his latest masterpiece. “He’s developed engineering on the stick that no other group can do. Our Nasty is the lightest stick on the market, and it has a dual kick-point which does some work for the player when shooting with proper shooting technique . . . we use the same graphite used in Boeing airplanes, and also, for us, the breakage on our stick is the lowest in the industry.” The BASE concept is to bring the specialized NHL experience to amateur players, while keeping it affordable. The whole process results in a stick that
costs up to 40 per cent less than off-the-shelf high-end sticks. BASE simply doesn’t spend money on brand marketing, advertising, packaging etc., all their funds go into quality material, precision manufacturing, and specialized analysis. “We’re able to go factory-direct and save the consumer money,” said McKinnon. “So what we’re trying to do is bring the cost of hockey down, but also still giving the best product possible.” While the cost-benefit for junior teams like the Nitehawks is attractive, McKinnon says the switch to the Nasty will help them on the ice as well. “We’ve already found that with junior teams their shots hitting the net goes up, their receiving passes goes up, so their overall yield as a group, if they are all fitted, all increases by about 10 per cent.” As for Miller he likes the feel of the stick, its balance, and most of all looks forward to the results on

the scoreboard. “I found the stick felt really cool, I guess they have a two kick-point system on the stick so it felt pretty good. Can’t wait to try it.” BASE has players using their sticks in the professional ranks as well as other junior markets, however, some leagues, such as the BCHL, have exclusive deals with companies that prevent players from choosing which sticks they use. Nevertheless, the BASE is growing, says McKinnon, with guys like Pittsburgh Penguin star Evgeni Malkin recently fitted. Still, for BASE Hockey, a quality product is the best form of advertising. “We’re moving onward and upward, as far as people using our sticks in all leagues now. It’s not just NHL it’s all leagues minor and major, so we’re proud of that. “We’re selling the best sticks in the world and we’re trying to share it with everybody, by creating value, performance, and durability.”
The Major Midget Kootenay Ice swept the Thompson Midget Blazers in a pair of weekend games in Kamloops skating to a 3-1 win Friday and a 7-2 drubbing on Saturday. Castlegar’s Kadrian Klimchuck had a two point night including netting the winner on a power play with 46 seconds remaining in the second period. Trail’s Matthew Alderson started the scoring taking a pass from Montrose native Christian Macasso and Kyle Chernenkoff of Cresent Valley and beating Blazer goalie Alex Anagnostopoulos at 1:33 of the first. The Blaze would tie it at 2:40 of the second but Klimchuck would finish a set up from Garrett Patterson and Ellis Junker to take a 2-1 lead, then assist on Justin Podgorekno’s goal to ice it at 12:04 of the third period. The Ice went 1-for3 on the power play while Thompson was 0-for-3. In Saturday’s 7-2 victory, defenceman Keaton Roch
WHITECAPS KOOTENAY SOCCER
When East meets West BY TYLER ROCA
Cranbrook Townsman
Sunday afternoon represented a historic day for the Whitecaps Kootenay Prospects soccer program, as the Kootenay East and Kootenay West Academies met in competition for the first time. The Kootenay East Academy, based out of Cranbrook, is in its first year after evolving from the Whitecaps Cranbrook Skills Centre this September. The Kootenay West Academy, based out of Nelson, is entering its second year under the tutelage of Vancouver Whitecaps regional head coach Brett Adams. “It was such a humbling experience to see over 200 players from the Kootenays playing soccer in beautiful surroundings on a beautiful day,” Adams said Monday afternoon. “As a community, as an area, the parents and the players understand what we’re trying to do. “We’re trying to promote the correct way to play soccer and the correct ethics…we want players to be competitive athletes but we want them to do it with a bit of class.” The Whitecaps Kootenay West Prospects Academy travelled from Nelson to Cranbrook’s Moir Centennial Park Sunday for a day of mini-tournaments and skill sessions with its younger, easterly counterpart.

fired in the winning goal one minute into the second period to give the Ice a 3-1 lead. After two Thompson players were sent off at the end of the first period for checking from behind and boarding, Podgorenko would dish off to Blake Sidoni who sent a pass to Roch who wired it by the Blaze goaltender. Junker had a four-point game with two goals and two assists, while Rossland’s Karsten Jang would net two goals and an assist, Podgorenko three assists, and Sidoni counted two helpers. Macasso and Even Gorman rounded out the scoring for the Ice. Special teams were key for the Ice as they went 3-for-7 on the man advantage, and were perfect on the penalty kill. Jason Mailhiot and Solomon Burk each picked up a win in goal as the Ice evened their season’s record to 2-2. The Ice travel to the coast this weekend to play the 1-3-2 Vancouver N.E. Chiefs on Saturday and Sunday.

Do not offer booze to over-indulging friend Mailbox

making her belligerent? We see each other and don’t want hard feelings. -- Tired of Sponger Dear Tired: If you don’t want Minnie drinking your booze, stop offering it to her. You can open the door and be polite and friendly but not ask whether she’d like a beer. If she says she’s thirsty, offer her a cool glass of water. You don’t have to confront her at all or create any hard feelings. You simply need to be less accommodating. We suspect after a few such dry visits, she will spend less time knocking on your door. Dear Annie: As the
ciate feeling the same way my recipients do when opening a gift. I’d like to know what that’s like. Should I stop giving my homemade items to stingy family members and sell them instead? -- Torn in Pennsylvania Dear Torn: Are you certain your family members truly enjoy these presents? Not everyone appreciates a homemade item, and you may be misinterpreting their response. Even so, they should reciprocate in some way for your generosity. You certainly ought to stop giving them personalized gifts that you cannot afford. Either bake some cookies, or use your creativity for a holiday card and stop giving gifts altogether. The choice is yours. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Frustrated Mom,” whose daughter is overweight. In my teens, I was 15 pounds overweight, and my mother harped on my
eating constantly. But I showed her! By the time I was 67, I was 200 pounds overweight. I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and could barely walk. Sixteen months ago, I had gastric bypass surgery and have lost 162 pounds. My sur-
geon said, “You are a success story.” Never again can I enjoy the sinfully rich food I used to, but my cholesterol, blood pressure and arthritis are under control. I think of food all day. Not because I want it so badly, but
because I have to plan my day around it. My stomach is the size of an egg, but I’m healthier, happier, have a new wardrobe and love it when people say I look fabulous. I will live to see my grandkids marry. -Blessed in California

holidays approach, so does gift giving. This is one of my favorite holiday traditions. I am not well off by any means, and my gifts usually consist of thoughtful homemade items. I love seeing the recipients open the gifts, watching their surprise and delight, and knowing they feel special because I have put so much thought into personalizing their present. Here’s the dilemma: Many of my family members are well off, yet I rarely receive gifts from them. I get flimsy excuses instead. I normally say “OK” and brush it off, but after years of this dismissive behavior, I am not sure I can continue to keep giving, giving, giving, especially when it is difficult for me financially. I don’t give presents with the expectation that I will get something in return, but once in a while, I would certainly appre-

Dear Annie: An acquaintance of mine (I’ll call her “Minnie”) drops by our home once a week and stays for several hours. If we offer her a beer, she protests a little bit, but then says, “Well, OK,” and then asks what kind of wine or liquor we have. She somehow makes it seem as though she is doing us a favor by accepting what we offer and then lets us know about the better alcohol she is accustomed to. Our neighbor told us that Minnie does the same thing at her place, always promising to bring something special to reciprocate, but she never does. The neighbor laughs it off, but we feel like suckers. Minnie talks about cutting back on alcohol to lose weight, but it’s obvious she’ll drink if it’s free. Other than not answering the door when Minnie shows up, is there a way to confront her without

and friendly. Nevertheless, a romantic partner or perhaps children will be a serious consideration. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Writers, salespeople and anyone in marketing, teaching or acting will be successful today. Your enthusiasm knows no bounds! Be patient with an older family member who is sour grapes. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a good day for business and commerce. Look for ways to make a profit in the future, especially doing something behind the scenes. Be open to foreign dealings or working with sources far away. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a great day to enjoy the company of friends and groups, because you want to be part of something that is bigger than you. You want to expand your world in a positive way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your contact with someone, perhaps even a group, makes you quietly confident today. You know that with the support of others, you can do so much more. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a good day to examine your goals and ideals. Are they yours, or someone else’s? It’s easy to see
the big picture today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You make a great impression on others today, especially in group situations. Because of this, others will come forth with some kind of support for you -- perhaps financial. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel plans with others look exciting today. Some
of you will explore new avenues in publishing, media, medicine and the law. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a good day to decide how to divide an inheritance or share something, because all parties will feel generous and fair-minded. (You’ll be happy.) YOU BORN TODAY You have excellent business savvy, and you handle money well. You are shrewd and capable,

and you can run things. You like a comfortable home that runs efficiently. This year, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for something new. Take it easy, and learn to serve others. This is a good year to travel. Birthdate of: Dale Earnhardt Jr., race-car driver; Wendi McLendon-Covey, actress; Tanya Tucker, singer.
