BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

Whether it is buttons, stickers, window posters or lawn signs, with the municipal elections getting closer, some may be wondering how they can show their support for their favourite candidates. Michelle McIsaac, corporate administrator for the City of Trail, says voters can outwardly express their support for a certain candidate starting today, or 30 days before the election, but there are restrictions on where signs of

political support can be posted. “Signage can be placed on both private and public property, but cannot be placed on or adjacent to city-owned buildings or in city parks and gardens,” said McIsaac. “Also, signage cannot be placed in locations that would create a traffic or pedestrian hazard.” There are exceptions to the rule, with window signs having no set date for display or removal. There are also no limits set in regards to the size of an election sign. According to McIsaac, signs

that do not follow the bylaws set out by the city will be taken down, either by the city or the person who displayed them and must be removed within a week of the election. Those who want to make their own homemade signs to show backing of a particular candidate are more than welcome to do so, but the signage must follow the rules laid out in the Local Elections Campaign Funding Act, says McIsaac. “We don’t normally see them, (but my only comment) would

be that there are new requirements now under the “Local Elections Campaign Financing Act” for all election campaign materials to include sponsorship information,” she said in an email response. “All the candidates are aware of these requirements, but if someone was going to make up a sign to promote a candidate on their own, they would need to familiarize themselves with the requirements.” The full requirements can be found on the Elections BC website.

LOCAL Operation Christmas Child gives gifts all over the world BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

It isn't even Halloween yet, but Debbie McDonnell is already thinking about Christmas presents – not for her family, but for less fortunate children all over the world. Through Operation Christmas Child, shoeboxes are packed with toys and necessities and shipped to children in developing nations, like Liberia and Haiti. With the project, kids from over 100 countries will be getting a present at Christmastime, and McDonnell says it could be the only present they get this year. “For a lot of the children, it is the only gift they will ever receive,” she said, adding it isn't just kids who celebrate Christmas who will be getting a box. “It is given to every child, no matter what their race, religion, anything. There are no barriers – every child receives a shoebox.” McDonnell says the project not only helps the children receiving the shoeboxes, but those who are giving them, as well. “We are all so blessed here and have so much, sometimes you don't think of the kids that don't have anything – not even one toy,” she said. “It is a good way for parents to teach their kids that not all children have what they have. We saw a lot of that last year – parents trying to teach their kids that it is good to give and not just receive.” Last year's Operation Christmas Child project in Trail sent out over 600 shoeboxes to needy children in third-world countries and this year's goal is to send 1,000. Almost 10 million shoeboxes were collected internationally in last year's campaign. See ONLINE, Page 16

Permits approved for Site C hydro dam By Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Both the federal and provincial governments have issued environmental assessment certificates for BC Hydro’s Site C dam, the proposed third hydroelectric project on the Peace River in northeastern B.C. The approvals include dozens of legally binding conditions, including a $20 million farmland

enhancement fund to offset river bottom land that would be flooded, and compensation for local aboriginal groups whose historic treaty rights to hunting, fishing and trapping would be affected. Cost of the project, last estimated by BC Hydro at $7.9 billion, will factor into a final decision by the B.C. cabinet whether to go ahead with the dam. Energy Minister Bill

Bennett has indicated he expects the final investment decision to be made by the end of 2014, and if it’s approved, work would begin immediately. Among the 77 B.C. conditions is an aboriginal business participation strategy to share the estimated 10,000 personyears of construction work the dam project would generate. Seven aboriginal communities affected

by the proposal have been offered cash and Crown land to compensate for land lost by construction of the dam. All are signatories to Treaty 8, which ensures their rights to hunt, trap and fish as they did before the treaty was signed in 1899. Officials say five of the seven are currently in negotiations.

Situated near Fort St. John and downstream of the W.A.C. Bennett and Peace Canyon dams, Site C’s 1,050-metre-long earthfill dam would create a reservoir 83 km long and two to three times the current width of the river. It requires two power lines built in the same corridor as the existing line,

BC Hydro estimates that because Site C would use water held back in the existing Williston Lake reservoir, it would generate 35 per cent of the energy as the Bennett dam with only five per cent of the reservoir area.

Minister says B.C. prepared for Ebola virus

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER B.C.’s health minister has assured the public that the province is prepared to deal with a case of Ebola after a second U.S. health worker tested positive for the virus. Terry Lake said Wednesday the risk in B.C. is low, but provincial health authorities have in place infection control systems and procedures that were developed during the SARS outbreak in 2003 and H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Lake said those standards are the same used by Medecins Sans Frontieres, or Doctors Without Border, in West Africa and the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Ga., which have been dealing with cases of the Ebola virus. He added he’s tasked the province’s health officer to confirm that hospitals are equipped to handle Ebola cases and that protocols are in place to protect health-care staff. “I’ve asked Dr. Perry Kendall ... to make sure that we put a team together to review all the protocols in place, make sure nurses and other ally health professionals have the necessary training and equipment that is necessary to deal with any suspected case of Ebola,” he said. Lake also said he’s eager to learn lessons from Dallas, where two health workers contracted Ebola after helping care for a patient who died from the virus. “Until we understand why those health-care workers were infected, it’s hard to know how to prevent it or what lessons can be learned from that,” he said. Lake’s statement comes after the B.C. Nurses’ Union said its members aren’t ready to respond to Ebola cases because they haven’t been trained to protect themselves from getting the virus or to care for such patients.

PEOPLE CAROLYN KIZER

OBITUARIES HUME (NEE RIVET), GEORGINA M. – 26 April 1925 – 9 October, 2014 After a lifetime dedicated to the care of others, a beautiful, spirited, intelligent and adventuresome woman completed her final journey at almost 90 years of age on October 9, 2014 in Trail, BC. Georgina was a devout catholic with an abiding sense of responsibility to help and care for others. She lived ahead of and outside of her times, and she had a highly unusual and complex life living amongst diverse cultures across many continents. Throughout her lifetime she was a courageous, hardworking, independent woman who always sought to help others. She had a remarkable determined and resilient spirit. She was born into a family of early French Canadian Pioneers who had settled in Vimy, Alberta. Her earliest ancestors arrived in Canada in 1671. In 1891 her own grandparents arrived in St. Albert, Alberta by covered wagon and then cleared land near Morinville for farming. She grew up in a poor farming family during the Great Depression and knew much hardship, but never learned the art of complaint. As a child herself, while her mother worked on the farm, she cared for her three younger brothers and the household. She attended a one-room school at a distance from her farm, often living by herself in a shed with a woodstove near the school and travelling home to the farm by horse and buggy in the summer and by cutter in the winter. A teacher, recognizing her intelligence, encouraged her to attend university. Attending university and having a career was, for a woman in the early 1940s, especially one coming from her circumstances, very unusual. It is a testament to her spirit that she received a Bachelor of Arts from The University of Alberta in 1947 and a Bachelor of Social Work from UBC in 1951. She then went on to have a career as a Child Care Social Worker. In 1955 she married her husband John Hume and moved to be with him in Flin Fon, Manitoba where they started their family. In 1959, with a two year

old and a newborn in arms, she followed her husband to live in a remote, isolated copper mining town in the high Andes in Peru where John worked in copper milling. She had her last child in Peru, and the family lived there for 10 years during a time of great political and social turbulence in South America. In 1969 they returned to Canada and lived in Sorrento, BC, where they had a summer resort on the Shuswap Lake. In 1972, the family departed again for another overseas adventure this time to the wild highlands of Irian Jaya, the other half of Papua New Guinea. There they experienced even more extreme isolation and exposure to one of the most unknown indigenous cultures in the world and lived in the mists of a mountainous rainforest. It was an uncommon, indescribable life experience where grass skirts, bows and arrows and nose bones were commonplace, as was also the brutal force of the suppressing Indonesian armored troops. The family returned to Canada to settle in St. Albert Alberta in 1976. Thereafter she resumed working as a Child Care Social Worker for Alberta Social Services in Edmonton until her retirement in 1987. She then helped care for and enjoyed her grandchildren for years. In 1996 she moved with her husband John to join their daughter Cheryl Ann Hume in Trail where she continued to be a loving and supporting grandmother to many of her grandchildren. She also cared for and supported John until his passing in 2005. Even at the age of 89 she remained determined to help and care for others. Equally though, she was deeply grateful for the kindness and affection given to her by the staff of Poplar Ridge Pavilion. She always wanted to thank people and tell them how “wonderful” they were which they were. She will be remembered by the smile that lit her face and her great spirit. She is greatly missed and will remain lovingly in the heart of her family. Georgina was pre-deceased by her husband John Hume, her parents Mary and Alexander Rivet, her brothers Leo and Roger Rivet. She leaves behind her loving daughters Cheryl Ann Hume (Ralph Behrens), Arlene Marie Hume and Juanita Mae Leahy (Chris Leahy). She also leaves her three grandsons Dylan, Christopher and Andrew Hume, and her three granddaughters Annaliese, Adrienne, and Simone Behrens. She also leaves her brother Lucien Rivet (Nola), Sister in law Connie Rivet, and numerous nephews and nieces. More than 100 people were gathered at the courthouse in Boise to mark the occasion as Idaho became the latest state to begin recognizing gay marriage in the wake of a series of court rulings nationwide.

1298 Pine Ave, Trail

The family wishes to express their gratitude for the excellent care given to Georgina by Doctors Michael Hjelkrum, Susan Benzer, Seth Bitting, Len Scotland and Libby McCoid, also to the compassionate, dedicated and hardworking surgical and medical nurses who cared for her, and to all the kind staff of Poplar Ridge Pavilion. A Funeral Mass will be held on Monday, October 20th at 10:30am from Holy Trinity Parish at 2012 3rd Avenue, Trail. Gwen Ziprick of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services has been entrusted with the arrangements. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence by visiting the family’s register at www.myalternatives.ca In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent in Georgina’s name, in memory of her love of animals, to The Trail Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Expressions of sympathy for the family may be sent to trail@myalternatives.ca. *** FLEMING, KEN – of Trail BC, born November 22, 1919 in Haver, Montana passed away peacefully at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital on October 13, 2014. Ken was a millwright by trade and enjoyed horseback riding, the great outdoors and spending time with his family. He is survived by his children Bill Arnett (Cindy), Edmonton, Leona Rizzotti (Giovanni), Vancouver, Lorie Fleming (Gerry Woodhouse), Trail, as well as his sister Marjorie Thompson, Vanderhoof. He will be greatly missed by his grandchildren: Kyla Arnett-Burkett (Jamie), Winnipeg, Krysta Rizzotti, Vancouver, Josh Rizzotti, Calgary, Brielle Hwalstad (Jordan Ruggiero), Kamloops, and Tyler Hwalstad, Trail.

Spokane-born poet won Pulitzer Prize

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SONOMA, Calif. - Carolyn Kizer, a feminist Pulitzer Prize-winning poet who spoke her political mind even at age 7, has died in Sonoma from the effects of dementia, her literary executor said. She was 89. Kizer, who won her Pulitzer in 1985 for a collection of work called “Yin” after the female principle in Chinese cosmology, died last Thursday at a nursing home, executor David Rigsbee told the Los Angeles Times. Born in Spokane, Washington, Kizer was 7 and attending a dinner party held by her parents when asked about political parties. She told guests “Oh, we veer with the wind.” One of Kizer’s best known works was “Pro Femina,” an ardent call for feminist progress. In one of the four poems making up the collection she wrote: “I will speak about women of letters, for I’m in the racket.” When she wrote “Pro Femina,” she wrote about the 1920s, when female poets were mocked as the “Oh-God-the-Pain Girls.” She believed men encouraged that depiction. “Poetry wasn’t a craft but a sickly effluvium,” she wrote, “the air thick with incense, musk and emotional blackmail.” In the late ‘60s, she was director of literary programs for the National Endowment for the Arts. She was a chancellor of the American Academy of Poets until 1998, when she resigned to protest the board’s lack of diversity at the time.

espite the fall sitting of the legislature, Premier Christy Clark and two cabinet ministers are off selling B.C. in India and the Far East this week. And those two trade missions couldn’t be more different. Accompanied by 25 senior executives from the industry, Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Minister Steve Thomson is in China, Japan and South Korea with one objective: develop new markets for B.C.’s forestry products. Premier Clark, on the other hand, is being accompanied to India by Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk and a diverse group of 72 travelling companions, from nearly a dozen different economic sectors, two countries and two provinces. Some of those sectors have sufficient numbers for some critical mass: education, LNG and the film industry. But there’s also representation from the fashion industry, decorative stones, a port authority, a modelling agency, heavy equipment, a used car dealer, a travel firm and even a Tim Horton’s franchisee.

One company – Canadian Western Holdings Ltd. – wouldn’t have a single Google result to its name were it not for the news release from the premier’s office last week announcing the delegation. A handful of the companies don’t have a website, some don’t seem to have a listed phone number anywhere in Canada. Among the delegation, a handful of multinationals who could hardly be considered homegrown. Super natural B.C. doesn’t spring to mind when you think of Colliers, Deloitte or KPMG. Each has extensive operations in India already. Another company – Affluence Capital – operates out of a home-based office in Calgary, Alberta. Pyramid Wine Exports is also Calgary-based, but does broker B.C. wines. Three companies are actually headquartered in India and any connection with B.C. – such as an office or telephone number – isn’t readily apparent from their websites. Tata Elxsi’s Visual Computing Labs is an animation and visual effects studio in India. It’s part of

DERMOD

TRAVIS

Integrity BC

the Tata Group, a $100 billion multinational based in Mumbai. Another – Bangalorebased Elexisoft Technologies – describes itself as offering the “best software training and placement in evergreen technologies.” Outsourcing firm Vestechno is based in Bangalore as well, but has an office in Michigan. It does make one wonder though: why would companies headquartered in India join a trade mission with the B.C. government to, of all places, India? In addition to the nine post-secondary institutions on the trip, a handful of research centres are among the delegation, including: IC-IMPACTS or the India-Canada Centre for Innovative

Multidisciplinary Partnerships to Accelerate Community Transformation and Sustainability. Can understand why they went with the acronym. In the still selling the sizzle department, the LNG sector is well represented with Pacific Oil and Gas, Pacific Northwest LNG, and Huu-ay-aht First Nations that’s hoping to develop a LNG facility with fellow traveller Steelhead LNG. Godspeed to them. India currently buys LNG from Qatar, a distance of 2,885 km, and Australia, a distance of 7,060 km. The odometer to Squamish – site of Pacific Oil and Gas’s proposed Woodfibre LNG plant – clicks in at about 11,800 km. And talk about your mixed messages. While Clark touts LNG as clean energy, she’ll be pushing coal and oil too. Colonial Coal Corporation and East West Petroleum are among the delegation. East West Petroleum has exploration concessions in New Zealand, Romania, Morocco and India, but not one in B.C. It does have former federal cabinet

minister Herb Dhaliwal on the board of directors though. Here’s another problem with the delegation: when most people think trade, they think widgets, companies that manufacture a good or produce a service that can be sold to customers in other countries. While importing is an integral part of any trading relationship, most British Columbians would expect the priority of a B.C. trade mission to be on exports, because exports create jobs here in B.C. And after all, British Columbians are picking up a chunk of the tab. Yet, ethniK Yarns – which imports handwoven sarees from India – is on the trip. Tough to imagine they’re going to start hand weaving sarees in the Lower Mainland to export back to India anytime soon. All of these factors contribute to the crux of the problem with this trip: just as too many cooks spoil the broth, too many industries and too many competing interests can spoil a trade mission. Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC.

Businesses optimistic but not expanding THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The majority of Canadian business owners recently polled say they are optimistic about the future, but have no plans on growing their businesses. The CIBC survey of 800 owners and managers found that 84 per cent have a positive outlook for their businesses, while about 44 per cent say their financial standing is better today than it was a year ago. Yet despite the optimism, only about a third (37 per cent) are counting on expanding their businesses in the next three years. A majority (79 per cent) of those polled also

say they are sitting on cash reserves, with 40 per cent saying they’re not earning any interest on this cash. But of those who do plan on expansion, 60 per cent say they won’t be using cash reserves. Instead, they’ll use credit cards, loans or money out of their own pocket to fund their company’s growth. Shelley Swanlund, vice-president of business banking and the head of small business at CIBC, says business owners should not see their cash reserves as a “rainy day” fund to be used for emergencies, but instead, a fund to help expand their businesses.

gency social services. “This is a great day. I’ve been waiting for this for ten years,” rural Kaslo regional director Andy Shadrack told the large crowd of firefighters, dignitaries, and citizens. “It’s a wonderful facility for our needs,” said Kaslo fire chief Douglas Yee. He thanked the residents of Kaslo and Area D, who in May 2013 approved the borrowing of $1.2 million to build the facility, which will also serve Woodbury and Ainsworth. Construction began last November. The old fire hall, built in 1971 adjacent to city hall, was meant to be a temporary structure. It was demolished last month. Former fire chief and current assistant chief Larry Badry said a 2009 operational audit found the greatest danger to Kaslo firefighters “was the fire hall itself.” Terri Laybourne, whose husband was a volunteer firefighter and whose daughter is a current junior firefighter, said it “hurt her heart” to see the old fire hall go, but that it was time for a new facility. “I want to thank the community for its trust, support, and most of all wisdom for investing in fire protection services, not only for them but for their children and grandchildren,” said Regional District of Central Kootenay regional fire chief Terry Swan. Firefighter Eli Bukowski helped construct the building in which he will serve. “I’m really happy to be part of this,” he said. “This is what happens with co-operation,” said MP Alex Atamanenko. Federal monies were included in the construction.

STILL TIME TO TEE OFF

Lucchini nets PoW BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

Trail Smoke Eaters forward Jake Lucchini was named the BCHL Player of the Week on Tuesday, while teammate Charlie Zuccarini was given honourable mention, as the Smokies took four-of-six points on a long three-games-in-threedays road trip over the weekend. “They did well,” said coach Nick Deschenes, who was compelled to juggle lines after Dallas Calvin suffered a concussion last week. He put Zuccarini with Lucchini and 16-year-old Robbie Johnson and the trio found some chemistry combining for 14 points in three games. Both Lucchini and Zuccarini tallied six-points each with Lucchini netting two goals and two assists on Friday when he was named the game’s first star in in a 5-2 win over Powell River. The Trail native then pitched in with a goal and an assist in Surrey on Sunday in the Smokies’ 7-4 victory. The 19-year-old, six-foot, 176-pound forward is playing in his third season with Trail and is tied with Zuccarini for third in BCHL scoring with six goals and eight assists and is just two goals shy of his eight-goal total of last season. “He’s got the right attitude, and he put

in the time this summer, and was very committed,” said Deschenes. “It’s taken him a little bit of time maybe to realize his potential and to put in the time he needs to be successful, and so he’s done that and he’s hungry.” Lucchini’s good play should draw some interest from NCAA scouts, as he looks to join eight other Smoke Eaters who have committed to play NCAA hockey next season. Zuccarini, 7-7-14, notched a goal and five assists on the three-game road trip, including a three-point game in the victory over Surrey. The 19-year-old rookie burst his way onto the BCHL scene with a five-goal and one assist performance in the first game of the season, an 8-3 win over Coquitlam. “He got off like gangbusters, and he’s probably quieted down a little bit. What’s really important is consistency with his game and that he does bring a level of intensity and work ethic every game.” The five-foot-seven, 170-pound forward was recruited out of Shelton, Conn., where he played for the Connecticut Yankees of the U.S. Premiere Hockey League. The Smokies are off to a 5-3-0-0 start and will host the Langley Rivermen on Saturday at the Cominco Arena at 7:30 p.m.

Kootenay Lake Usually September is a slower month for fishing as we wait for the water temperatures to drop. However, we caught a lot of fish on our trips - a nice surprise for this time of year. Mostly smaller fish, but we still seem to get the odd big one every day or two. My last group from Philly and Chicago decided to come out with us near the end

of September. After explaining to them that this is our slower time of year for fishing and not to have high expectations, we jumped in the boat and headed out. Well, the fish proved me wrong. Day one, the boys landed 10 fish up to 10 pounds. And then on day 2 they landed nine fish up to 13 pounds. Very rare for such warm water and as a bonus, they got to jump into the lake to cool off at the end of the day. So, now they are hooked and I think I’ll have a hard time convincing them to come at a different time of year. Funny how it works. That’s fishing. While not every day has been like that, we have still been catching fish daily. Still looking forward to the next few months as the water cools and the fish become more

The fairways and greens remain in great shape as the colours of autumn only enhance the experience and the scenery surrounding the Trail course.

Both courses are in great condition with specials available on tee times and merchandise throughout the month. aggressive. Here’s hoping for a great fallwinter fishery. What are they biting on? With the warmer lake temperatures, most of our fish have been caught on the downriggers. Depths from 50–120 feet have produced both rainbows and bull trout. Lyman plugs have been the ticket on most days. Lucky numbers 14, 16, 69, 98, and 102 have been my favorite. We’ve also been catching a lot of rainbows on our favorite bucktail flies. Again, lots of small ones with the odd big one mixed in. Favorite colors have been grey/ wht, brown/white, and different variations of the black/white. Lucky numbers coinciding with those colors are: 210, 215, 221, 226, 228. As the water cools and the fish become more aggressive, we should hopefully

KAY BUNA MEMORIAL

Habs-Bruins rivalry resumes THE CANADIAN PRESS BROSSARD, Que. - Dale Weise recalls the first time Vancouver faced Boston in the regular season after the Bruins’ seven-game victory over the Canucks in the 2011 Stanley Cup final. Early in the first period, a brawl erupted as Alex Burrows got a stick up during a line change. Weise was in the main event, trading punches with Boston’s Nathan Horton in a long battle away from the main melee. “We had a line brawl seven minutes in,” Weise, now a member of the Montreal Canadiens, said Wednesday. “So I think the fans, the media and everybody got what they wanted there.” The gritty winger does not expect quite the same when the Bruins visit the Bell Centre for the Canadiens home opener tonight, or that there will be any spillover of bitterness

from Montreal’s seven-game victory over their archrivals in the second round of playoffs last spring. In the handshake line after Game 7, Boston’s Milan Lucic reportedly told Weise “I’m going to kill you next year,” and also had words for defenceman Alexei Emelin. None of the Canadiens take Lucic literally. Weise expects a hard-fought game against a rival and divisional opponent, but not a war. “I don’t see it being the case,” said Weise. “The media kinda blows things up a bit and the games have a hard time living up to that, so we’re just focusing on having a good game. “Being our first home game, everyone’s excited, the crowd’s going to be jumping and everybody will be ready to go.” Lucic took exception to Weise’s mock muscle flex in the finale, a mimic of the Bruins’ winger’s chest thumping and muscle flexing earlier in the series. The Bruins had a game Wednesday night in Detroit, so there was no word on their approach to the rematch with Montreal, although games between the teams are always tough and sometimes nasty. “I expect a loud crowd, I expect us to come out and play well and I expect an intense game,” added Weise. “Any time Boston plays Montreal there’s a lot of animosity. “I don’t think there’s going to be anything extra. It’s always there.” On Lucic, Weise said: “That’s the way he plays every night. He plays hard. He’s intense. I don’t think anything’s different if he plays us or any other team.” That will be seen when the puck drops as the Canadiens return home after starting the season 3-1-0 on the road. The trip included three comeback victories after weak first periods followed by a 7-1 thrashing at the hands in Tampa on Monday.

Trail Smoke Eaters host

Last month the Buna family and the Birchbank Ladies Club celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Kay Buna Memorial Tournament. Fourteen members of Kay’s family, including her six children, travelled to Trail to honour their Mom. From left, back: Son Gord Buna and grandson Ryan Buna. Middle row: daughter Donna Buna, and Jackie Drysdale the runner-up in Kay Buna Memorial Tournament, Anna Bisaro, sister-in-law, and Lorne Buna, son. Front row: daughter Lesley Buna, and Carolyn Caron-2014 winner of the Kay Buna Memorial Tournament. The unique format of this two-day net eclectic tournament attracted 52 golfers. After Saturday’s round, only Eileen Holm, net 68, and Carol Babcock, net 70 came in under par. The ladies tried to better their scores Sunday, using the best score on each hole for their eclectic score. Caron improved by 13 strokes on Sunday, to win the tournament with a net 59, while Drysdale was runner-up with a net 60. Flight winners were: flight 1: Carol Babcock, 64 (retro); flight 2: Rose Katnich, 62; flight 3: Colleen DeRosa, 61; flight 4: Brenda O’Donaughy, 62.

Kaymer wins wild Grand Slam

THE ASSOCIATE PRESS Martin Kaymer is making a habit of beating Bubba Watson in head-to-head situations, even at an exhibition of major champions in Bermuda. Kaymer won the PGA Grand Slam of Golf on Wednesday by surviving a wild day of lead changes. The U.S. Open champion won on the first playoff hole at Port Royal by making a 10-foot birdie and then watching Watson miss his birdie putt from 4 feet. “I was surprised that he missed it,” Kaymer said after closing with an even-par 71. “Obviously, you don’t want to win a golf tournament that way,

but I’ll take it.” British Open and PGA champion Rory McIlroy closed with a 75 and was eight shots behind. Jim Furyk, the alternate in this 36-hole event for the year’s four major champions, had a 73 and was another shot behind. Watson, the Masters championship, shot 69. Kaymer chipped in for eagle on the 16th hole at Gleneagles to beat Watson in the Ryder Cup in another European victory. They also met in a playoff in the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, which Kaymer won on the last hole when Watson hit into the

water. Another shot into the water cost Watson at Port Royal. The stress didn’t end when the Grand Slam was over. With Hurricane Gonzalo quickly approaching, the PGA of America chartered a flight to get its entire crew off the island. Officials were making sure the four players could get their flights out before the Category 4 storm arrived. It was expected to be near Bermuda early Friday, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. The final round was so wild that Kaymer’s three-shot lead after seven holes was gone

three holes later. He quickly rebuilt a threeshot lead after 12, only for Watson to pick up a shot on each of the next three holes, leaving them tied going to the par-3 16th. That’s when it turned in Watson’s favour - but only for a minute. The Masters champion made birdie and took a two-shot lead when Kaymer made bogey. But on the par-5 17th, Watson hit into the water for a bogey, and Kaymer made birdie. Both made par on the 18th in regulation, and then returned to No. 18 for a playoff. “It felt like nobody really wanted to win around the turn,” Kaymer said. Kaymer won $600,000, while Watson earned $400,000. Watson missed four good birdie chances on the front nine until he finally converted on No. 8. That was the start of 10 straight holes in which neither player tied a hole with a par. Over the last 12 holes, Kaymer and Watson combined for eight birdies and seven bogeys. Watson saved his most costly mistake for the playoff hole.

ings. This is a wonderful organization for people whose lives are affected by a loved one’s drinking. The members there will give you coping strategies and a shoulder to cry on, as well as advice for dealing specifically with your son. We hope he contacts you soon. Dear Annie: My dearest girlfriend insists on putting a dessert spoon at the top of the dinner plates when she hosts a formal dinner. She says that’s what etiquette demands. I think a dessert spoon should be served with dessert instead of sitting out on the table during the entire dinner. Who’s right? --

bride announced that she had a new maid of honor because the other one didn’t want to give a speech. When a woman agrees to be a bridesmaid, she agrees to the bride’s choice of dress. If they are ugly, no one attending the wedding blames the bridesmaids. “Disappointed” complained that she bought three dresses she could “ill afford.” However, one of them was because the bride was trying to please her bridesmaids, and the last one was because “Disappointed” thought she had better taste than the bride. The bride was kind enough to allow her out of the maid-ofhonor role, while keeping her in the wedding party. As for the “lie” that the bride told at the rehearsal dinner? My guess is the bride thought it sounded better than “my best friend is too selfish to honor my choice

of bridesmaid dress.” Personally, I think “Disappointed” sounds like a bridesmaidzilla. -- Should Have Eloped Dear Should Have: We appreciate your spin on the situation, but brides need to take their attendants’ financial situations into

consideration when choosing a dress. And a thoughtful bride will ask her bridesmaids to help select the dress to begin with, preventing exactly this type of rancor. As for the lie at the rehearsal dinner, we don’t understand why the bride felt it

was necessary to make a public announcement altogether, surprising (and embarrassing) her friend. We will say, however, that an apology -- on either side -- can go a long way toward repairing a friendship. We hope they can do it.

Etiquette Challenged in Dallas Dear Dallas: In a formal setting, dessert forks and spoons are brought out with the dessert. For an informal setting, however, it is perfectly OK to place dessert utensils above the plate or with the rest of the forks and spoons (the fork on the left, closest to the plate, and the spoon on the right, closest to the plate, because those will be the last utensils used). Dear Annie: I usually agree with your advice, but I think you missed the mark with “Disappointed,” the frustrated bridesmaid. She said the bride ordered hideous dresses, and when the bridesmaids tried to get her to find another, she didn’t like any of them. When “Disappointed” found her own dress, the bride didn’t like it. She then offered to drop out of the wedding party. At the rehearsal dinner, the

His father drank himself to death, and I’m so worried he will go down the same path. He absolutely won’t discuss it. Last Mother’s Day, he promised to give up drinking, but a month later, I saw him guzzle two beers at a family picnic, and I remarked on it. He said he never wanted to speak to me again, and since then, he hasn’t. I’m not getting any younger, and I miss my son. I will be attending Al-Anon meetings, but is there anything else I can do? -- Suffering in Illinois Dear Suffering: We’re so sorry your son has chosen not to deal with his alcoholism, but this is not something you can change for him.

Lloyd also sustained a gunshot wound to the leg. His hunting partner — Lloyd’s son-in-law , “Skeet” Podrasky — shot the bear several times in an attempt to rescue Lloyd. One of the shots hit Lloyd in the leg. He underwent surgery on Sunday, and again on Tuesday. Darrell Orth, a friend of Lloyd’s, told Mike Turner of Global News that both men were experienced hunters, who knew the area very well. They were hunting elk on Podrasky’s family land near Fernie when the bear attacked. Orth spoke highly of Lloyd, who he described as one who loved the outdoors, wildlife and hunting. Orth also praised the actions of Podrasky. “For him to have the presence of mind was heroic. It appears to have saved (Lloyd’s) life. It could have ended up much worse than it did. He did something very brave in killing the bear that was attacking his fatherin-law.” Mary Giuliano, Mayor of Fernie, told Mike Turner that there has been an increase in bear sightings in Fernie over the past three to four years. “Last year we actually had them wandering around town.” Giuliano said current education programs, like Bear Aware, help residents know how to react if they see a bear.

Grand Forks

Solution sought for growing number of deer By Pat Kelly

Grand Forks Gazette

The number of deer in Grand Forks is up from previous counts according to Grand Forks City Councillor Gary Smith, head of the deer committee. Smith explained the deer count, which is done twice a year, came in on Oct. 1 at 215 animals. Smith said that Cranbrook initiated a deer cull when their numbers got to 97, and that with 215 deer in Grand Forks and the city

being much smaller than Cranbrook, “Then we are certainly inundated.” The councillor said he’d met with other communities dealing with the deer issues while at last month’s Union of BC Municipalities convention at Whistler. “We had a scrum with mayors from Invermere, Cranbrook and Oak Bay before meeting with the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations,” Smith said. “We came up a common ask; that

we get a commitment for a ministry supported committee on urban wildlife.” Smith quoted Minister Steve Thompson as saying, “I get your message and I commit to you that by the middle of November, I will have this committee struck.” “This is very significant,” Smith said, as Grand Forks has been working on the deer issue for eight years. According to Smith, the benefits of a provincial committee would include support from ministry staff and

biologists and it would bring together the chairs of the various committees that are dealing with the issue. “So that we are all working together for a common solution,” he said. “As individual communities we are left to twist in the wind when it comes to things like resources and dealing with groups like PETA that would keep us tied with injunctions and court fees.” The question of allowing a deer cull will be on the Grand Forks ballot on Nov. 15.

Online options available FROM PAGE 2 “Anyone can make the shoeboxes, whether it is community groups, churches or individuals,” said McDonnell, adding that there is an online store for putting together a box. “You can also go online and do a shoebox there and then it will get put together. It works for people who are busy or are elderly and can’t get out and shop.” Shoebox makers get to decide if they are making a box for a girl or a boy, which age group, and then start packing up boxes. “We suggest things like a piece of clothing, like a t-shirt, and personal hygiene products like a wash

cloth, soap or a toothbrush,” said McDonnell. “Also, hard candies, skipping ropes, maybe Tonka toys – all kinds of small items that could fit into a shoebox.” Empty Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes can be picked up at First Presbyterian Church and the Alliance Church in Trail and Liberty Foods in Fruitvale. Completed Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes can also be dropped off at the same locations, but need to be in before Nov. 20 so there is enough time before Christmas to get the shoeboxes to their new owners. McDonnell says anyone who wants more information or is interested in helping out can call 250-367-0177.
