Trail remains on target with budget

TRICK OR TREATERS READY TO ROLL

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

There hasn't been too many bumps or bruises to the city's financial outlook this year.

A freak snowstorm or utility line failure could still throw a wrench into the mix, but annual revenues are mostly on target, according to Trail's third quarterly report.

The general revenue fund stands at about $5.7 million, which is up about $240,000 from this time last year, though with the airport running at a $70,000 deficit, the surplus sits at $5.6 million.

“Overall, third quarter results were positive and all three operating funds are currently in good shape,” said David Perehudoff. “As far as financial performance is concerned when compared to the approved budget.”

With additional income from logging sales, he explained, total general revenues should exceed $25 million, including property tax collections for other governments.

Sources that generate their own income such as tax penalties, licenses and permits, rentals, parking and interest income, are subcategorized into another revenue stream.

The third quarter overview shows a few areas that aren't meeting projected revenues, such as money garnered from business licenses and building permits.

That subcategory is down considerably, because to date, Trail has collected about $10,500 in fees compared to $46,000 in 2013.

“We only budget $50,000 coming from this category so the year-to-date decrease will not have a material impact on the final results of operations if permit fees do not pick up in the See INDUSTRIAL, Page 5

“I heard this noise that I didn't quite associate with gunfire,” he said.

“One of the security people came in and told us to get down. I heard more shots and we barricaded one of the doors and we were let out through another door that eventually led us to a room that was in the East Block (of Parliament). Then we stayed there all day.”

While sequestered in the East Block, Atamanenko says there were rumours floating around about the unfolding security breach outside the doors.

“There were rumours of someone with a gun on the roof, and even though we had people protecting us at the entrance to that room, you didn't know what was going on,” he said.

Without the LeRoi Foundation, the Warfield Scouts would be up a creek without a canoe.

Just a piece of the nearly $200,000 given to community organizations by the foundation since 2009, the Scouts used their grant to buy a new canoe for trips and adventure.

Now, the LeRoi Foundation is one of 191 community foundations across the country participating in a national campaign to create awareness for the work they do.

The campaign has its own billboard on the Montrose hill, showing Trail-Warfield 2014 Citizen of the Year Tom McEwan, and promoting the work of community foundations.

Every month, the campaign asks local foundations to nominate someone to be the face of the community foundation, or the community champion and the LeRoi Foundation chose McEwan.

awareness, not just locally but also across the country. Whether its our billboard here in Trail, or a radio ad that someone hears while on vacation in another province, the national campaign gets the message out that we can help donors achieve their charitable goals and local charities realize projects that make our community a better place to live for everyone.”

McEwan, the man pictured on the billboard, sees a bright future for the LeRoi Foundation and says the campaign will help the organization give even more money to community groups.

“They don't have a lot to give yet, but it is growing and I think

it is a very good thing in our community,” he said. “It accumulates money and is able to give money back into the community every year. Once it gets to the stage that is really successful, it is going to be a really good thing, I think.

“That is to me is really important. I really love Trail and it is just great to see this happening. It is really good.”

The LeRoi Foundation has bestowed funds on many local groups over the last few years to the Trail Historical Society, Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy, the Rossland Historical Museum, the Glenmerry PAC, the local Warfield Beavers, Cubs and

Scouts and many more organizations.

Larry Cecconi of the First Warfield Scouts says the money the group received from the foundation has allowed them to buy a high-end canoe, giving members another piece of equipment to teach them the Scouts brand of leadership and adventure. “(The grants from the LeRoi Foundation) bought us a new canoe and that is what we were looking for,” said Cecconi. “The Beavers, Cubs and Scouts are growing right now and the older kids like the canoe part. It would have taken us over two seasons to get that kind of money.

It is really good and we are so pleased that (the foundation) came through for us.”

Community foundations, like the LeRoi Foundation, don't cater to a specific type of community group or organization when it comes to delivering funding. “(We) take a broad view of community giving,” said Laratta.

“Other foundations and charities focus on a single area or a specific cause. Community Foundations look at the community as a whole, build endowed funds and grant to a broad range of projects.

“They serve diverse areas, such as arts and culture, the environment, youth and seniors, education, health and welfare, and sports and recreation.

Another important distinction between community foundations and other charities is that community foundations build permanently endowed funds that enable them to meet current priorities, now and into the future.”

Warfield

T

he Trail Times offered the opportunity for municipal candidates in Warfield, Trail, Montrose, Fruitvale and Salmo as well as school trustee candidates to introduce themselves to our readership and answer some basic questions.

• What is the #1 challenge you see facing the council, committee or board you wish to join? What is your strategy to resolve it?

• What outstanding issue from the last three years needs to be resolved?

The candidates were asked to limit their answers to approximately 400 words to allow space for all candidates to reply. The Trail Times edited some replies for length but the words are those written by candidates running in the upcoming municipal election.

Some candidates chose not to reply.

Candidates appear alphabetically with mayors and councillors separated.

Jim Nelson – Mayor

Jim Nelson

Jim Nelson is seeking your support as Mayor of the Village of Warfield.

Jim has a proven record of getting things done in past years.

For example, a group of Warfield citizens worked with Teck in the transfer of the water supply to the

Village of Warfield on time and budget.

With the same persistent planning, the level of sharing of Teck industrial tax can be achieved, which would ease the tax burden n our citizens.

My goal is to continue volunteerism in the village and make Warfield a friendly family community supporting Webster School.

My motto is “Leadership, listening and respect for others.”

Ted Pahl – Mayor Ted Pahl, 45, is a 10-year employee at Kootenay Savings where he is Senior Manager of Sales working directly with all Kootenay Savings branches. He has volunteered as a firefighter with Warfield fire department, with the Board of Directors for KBRH Hospital Foundation and with the Kootenay Youth Soccer Association as a coach.

I believe in a transparent government that acts with integrity and two way communication.

As mayor I will work with the other communities in our region to improve this community’s access to all the services and programs available.

My first action will be to secure a long term agreement around recreation and library usage.

I will also ensure this government has planned for and is prepared for the future needs of this community.

We will create a social media strategy that includes a website refresh, Facebook and Twitter accounts. In addition I will ensure that the residents have greater access to all information and facts that impact you. There are Ted decisions that as a communPahl ity we need to make; and as a government we will gather all the facts and disclose everything to our residents.

Warfield has always held a special place in the hearts of its residents, it’s my vision that we not forget our great history, but also get a clear focus on the future and what we must do to ensure our future is bright and our community remains strong. Change Starts Here

Bill Trewhella – Mayor I am 74 and a retired power engineer and training co-ordinator at Celgar Pulp, for 33 years I am running in this election because this village is as much home to me and Bill my family as it is to most Trewhella residents. I care deeply for our community. I also believe in public service and I believe that one should do all they can, for as many as they can, for as long as they can. I served on Warfield Council for 15 years, four as alderman and 11 as mayor.

I believe that anyone who aspires to be a leader must have a personal mission- mine is to see that our village continues to be a wonderful place for our current residents, a viable choice for new residents, a safe place to live and raise families and a village full of residents with the kind of community spirit and sense of belonging we have enjoyed for so many years.

The number-one issue facing council is maintaining the high level of service we enjoy while holding the line on taxes. This means looking at and fine-tuning every facet of village operations.

We also have to reach out for a share of industrial taxes and show why we have deserved this for years. I feel that my experience and knowledge of the area should go a long way in pleading our case.

The outstanding issue of the last three years was the break-up of regional recreation when the City of Trail backed out. Many parents, children and groups were and still are adversely affected.

This must be corrected and if elected I will work hard to foster an atmosphere of trust and cooperation with our neighbouring communities.

Also, we have to speak with a collective voice when dealing with government on matters of mutual concern.

For Warfield children and parents, I will continue to advocate for Webster, our community school and it's immeasurable contribution to the village and for educating our youngest citizens.

For our seniors, I will work to see a seniors home built in our village.

For all residents, I will ensure that you will continue to receive the level of service that you have come to expect. I will also ensure that attention does not get lost on critical issues such as sewer, water lines and road maintenance.

Warfield’s all candidates forum is scheduled for Monday (Nov.3) in the Warfield Hall. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. with the forum beginning at 7 p.m. Candidates will make an opening statement followed by a question--andanswer period.

Bill Bain – Councillor

I am 78 yrs. old. I grew up in Trail, spent my entire career employed at Cominco (Teck) for 42 years, and have lived in Warfield for the past 37 years.

My wife and I raised our five children here and have spent our lives volunteering in this community. I spent 18 years on the Board of the Warfield Credit Union.

I was involved in the start of Emerald Ridge and spent 17 years as a member of the Warfield Volunteer Fire Department. I retired as captain at the age of 60, as is required.

I am currently still involved in the Warfield Park and Rec department and cook at all their events.

I was on the Warfield Village council for six years, starting in 1996. During that time, I was instrumental is the beginning of the Village’s own water system.

If I am elected, my number one challenge will be with taxpayer money, as well as grant money, to

ensure that all money is being spent properly. I also very strongly believe in keeping all the amenities and benefits we have in the vilBill lage, such as the Bain outdoor pool, the Parks and Rec department, the Garden Club, our elementary school and preschool. My strategy is to be vocal in my opinion and support these things and to ensure that all citizens are well informed at all times.

The council of the last three years has done an outstanding job and they’ve taken a lot flack over certain issues. I hope to continue their great work in an effort to keep our village the amazing place that it is.

great community.

The recreation and library agreement expires soon, and I will, if elected, sit down with our neighbors and work on a deal that is fair to all parties. This point is very important to all of us, especially the children of Warfield. I believe we need to do a study to identify issues with the infrastructure of Warfield. We can then prioritize and repair any infrastructure problems and do it the most cost efficient and sustainable way.

In this world, a lot of us use websites or social media for our information. I would encourage that the village website be brought up to date and a Village of Warfield social media site be set up and running so people can voice their opinions on the website.

It is time for our communities to work together, put away our differences and work on our similarities.

The time for change is now.

Industrial permits down

Flu Shot time

Pharmacist Jenna Zavaduk has already drawn up well over 300 doses of the seasonal influenza vaccine during the Pharmasave Trail walk in clinics that are held Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. until noon, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Interior Health's first public flu clinic is scheduled on Monday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the Trail Memorial Centre. Guests to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital and any health care facility are required to have a flu shot or wear a mask wear when visiting patients during flu season, which begins Dec. 1 and ends March 31.

He maintains that business licence fees remain fairly consistent and the city anticipates being on target with respect to revenue and total business licences issued by year end.

What is noteworthy, is the nosedive in the number is industrial permits issued to date.

A review of building permit values indicate total permits issued to date amount to $3 million compared to $12.6 million last year, noted Perehudoff. said “Much of the reduction can be attributed to a reduction in industrial permit values.”

Other revenue sources that are down compared to 2013, include a $20,000 drop in parking fees, and a $27,000 drop in property rentals.

Through all of this uncertainty, surprisingly, there wasn’t an atmosphere of panic.

“The room has windows and all the blinds were drawn. From time to time, we were told to get down and get under the table.

“I think people have reacted to this differently,” he said.

“Some have been more traumatized than others. We had a nurse talking to us in regard to suggesting that if people need counselling or help, that (the emotional effects) could go on for a number of weeks. It happened, and now we are back. I wasn’t

particularly emotional.

I didn’t react the way some other people did.”

Even though he didn’t get emotional in the moment, one part of the tragedy hit Atamanenko more than others.

“I feel for the two soldiers that were killed,” he said. “That is such a tragic situation, for them to either be run down or shot down. That is where I get emotional – having their lives taken away and their families who are suffering. There is a lot of healing going on there.”

Atamanenko says the show must go on and that is one of the ways for Canadians, including his constituents in the Kootenays, can preserve democracy.

“Let’s try and prevent this kind of thing

from happening in the future, but life goes one,” he said. “It is a tragedy, so let’s get to the bottom of it. Let’s continue and make sure that our democratic values are preserved as we continue to debate this.”

“In this regard, as noted in the report, it brings about the question of service levels and sustainability and if council will make any adjustments to the budget next year if there are not agreements in place.”

Other income sources such as sale of Violin Lake timber weren’t factored into the 2014 budget, though it is expected to exceed $350,000 by year-end and should offset revenue shortfalls.

With no historical values in place, the city didn’t budget for TRP income this year.

The associated increase in the Trail Aquatic Leisure Centre’s sales (about $60,000) is consistent with people paying higher recreation rates to utilize the services following no agreement in place with Beaver Valley.

A

s soon as I started reading a blog called “Five Terrible Reasons to Run for Municipal Office”, I was thinking about a conversation Creston mayoral candidate Bill Hutchinson and I had recently. We agreed that candidates should have to complete a course before they can file to run for office so that they have a clue about the scope of the job they are, in essence, applying for.

It would certainly raise the level of debate, and reduce the number of empty promises we hear in each election.

The blog, which I came across when Jen Comer shared it on her Facebook page, was written last year by Danielle Klooster, a former town councillor in Penhold, Alta. That Comer chose to share it says a good deal about her thoughtfulness as she herself pursues a seat on town council.

In one section of the blog, Klooster tackles a common and often not overtly expressed desire of candidates. It exists nonetheless. Under the subhead “I’m going to clean house,” she tackles the

promise head-on: “Uh, no you’re not.

“If you envision yourself walking into the municipal office and taking over operations, firing a bunch of people and generally sticking your nose into administration’s business, you’re in for a rude awakening. If you want to manage your town or city, apply for the job.

“The CAO’s job is management; your role as a councillor is governance.

You don’t get to direct the staff. You are not the bylaw officer, the public works foreman or the HR director. In fact, you have only one employee — the CAO. And guess what? In many communities, the CAO has an employment contract. You can’t just ditch this guy so you can take over running the place. Get a new guy and you still don’t have the right to manage the municipality, Besides, removal would take a majority vote of council and would cost the rate payers a whole bunch of money.

“You don’t have to like the town manager or any of the staff, but as a councillor you are legally

LORNE

ECKERSLEY This is the Life

bound to do things properly (spoiler alert: you’re going to take an oath to that effect if you get elected).”

She also tackles the most popular promise in our own election campaign, “fiscal responsibility” (which seems to imply that anyone approaches the job with the intent to be fiscally irresponsible).

“This may well be the most irresponsible thing I hear come from the mouths of candidates.

If all you want to do is find ways to save people money, then let’s abolish property taxes right now and we can all go home.

After all, what’s the point of even having taxes if the only thing we care about is not spending any

money?

“My point is this: yes, fiscal accountability and responsible spending are very, very important. And no one likes paying taxes, me included. But the number one responsibility of the councillor is NOT fiscal responsibility — it is rather to build community infrastructure for future generations.

“Shame on you if in five, 10 or 25 years there is no water or sewer capacity or the roads are falling to pieces or there are insufficient playgrounds and recreation opportunities because you were busy pinching pennies.”

Klooster also cautions that a member of council does not have some sort of power to magically fix things, including that annoying pothole in front of his or her house.

The blog was such a hit when she wrote it that the writer and business consultant went on to pen another, “Six Awesome Reasons to Run for Municipal Office”.

Some of the reasons are pretty obvious: You care deeply about your community and want to make a positive impact;

you have proven leadership experience; you are prepared to be part of a team.

But one in particular caught my attention: You’ve done your homework. When I scrolled down the list of candidates as they file their nomination papers I was struck that there were people who might never have stepped foot inside council chambers.

Some might have been there once or twice and others might have been there a lot, but perhaps not for many years. How is that they know what it is they want to accomplish as an elected official, and whether it is even possible under the incredibly tight rules under which town councils operate?

After reading through Klooster’s blogs, I wrote to her saying that they were the best pieces on local government I had ever read. They can be found on her website at danikloo.com.

I recommend them to candidates and readers alike.

off truly devastating terrorist attacks (as in, ones that kill and injure more than a handful of people) require extensive organization. It is just this level of organization that is vulnerable to our security services: terrorists need to communicate with one another in order to plan attacks and phone calls, e-mails, and even regular mail can all be easily intercepted and read. Their organizations are vulnerable to moles and informants. The very sophistication of terrorist groups makes their plots more likely to be stopped. Even the attacks that get through only amplify the forces arrayed against them by frightening governments into action.

Regrettably, ‘lone wolf’ terrorists are not vulnerable to those methods. Even the most repressive governments in the world cannot stop single people dedicated to killing and harming others. What we’re dealing with in the case of the Ottawa and Quebec attacks is something similar to school shootings or the individual acts of mass murder carried out by the mentally disturbed at workplaces and public gathering spaces around the world.

Pretty much the only circumstance in which a lone wolf attacker could be stopped would be if they had either bragged about their intentions or had attempted to recruit others to join them.

Even then, the people who heard them would have to have believed they were serious and told the police with enough time to stop them before they could strike.

I don’t see why we should spend even more money, man hours, and civil liberties (which, once voided, are not easily recoverable) to prevent attacks which are, however tragic, no real threat to our way of life.

Health spending lowest in 17 years: report THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A new report says Canada will pay only $61 more per person this year for health care compared to last year’s expenditures.

The report says the increase in health spending was the lowest in 17 years and amounts to only a 2.1 per cent rise.

The Canadian Institute for Health Information says Canada is expected to spend just under $215 billion this year on health care, which works out

to $6,045 per person.

That spending level puts Canada eighth among the countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the OECD. The three territories, which often have to fly residents south for medical care, spend substantially more per person than provinces do.

Nunavut will spend the most, at just over $13,160 a person, while Quebec is expected to spend the least, at $5,616.

PEOPLE BRIDGE LIGHTING SUPPORT

OBITUARIES ROSSI, ANGELO – It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of Angelo Rossi, who was born in Casarsa, Italy on February 18, 1923 and passed away October 21, at the age of 91. He was the youngest of Maria and Francesco Rossi’s seven children.

Dad arrived in Canada in 1932 and settled on a farm up the North Forks, near Grand Forks. He started working on his brother-in-law’s sawmill at age 14. At 16, he moved to Trail to work for the Trail Meat Market. He joined the army to serve with the Canadian Scottish Regiment in the Second World War and was sent overseas at age 21. When the war ended he returned to Trail and worked at Star Bakery for 28 years. The school district employed him until he retired.

Dad was a generous man who appreciated the simple pleasures in life, with family topping his list. “Thanks a million,” was one of his most frequent refrains in recent years. He enjoyed gardening, cooking, beekeeping, making candles, hunting, fishing, cross-country skiing, baking pies and brewing wine.

Dad is survived by his sister Marianna Bryant, son Raymond (Patti), grandchildren Cheryl Rossi (Rob), Darren Rossi (Val) and Lisa Vanness (Mike), and his great-grandchildren Stella Vanness, Lola Rossi, Franklin Vanness and Maximus Angelo Rossi.

He was predeceased by daughter Debbie, wife Teresa, brother Gigi and sisters Genes Poletto, Evelyn Pavan, Esther Babuln and Nancy Schiavon.

The family invites you to a celebration of his life on November 9 at 11:30am at the Montrose Hall.

Donations can be made to Talarico Place 709 10th. St, Castlegar VIN-2H7. *** POPOFF, BRADLEY DEAN – born November 25, 1965, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 28, 2014.

Brad faced his many health challenges with a positive attitude and much humour believing we should all make the

most of who we are. He lived by this philosophy every day of his life.

Brad filled his days with his many interests, including classic rock music, record collecting, comedy albums of the ‘60s and ‘70s (his pride being his Bill Cosby collection), coin collecting, the CFL, wrestling, science news, History Channel, reading music b o o k s , comic books and mystery novels, his Toyota Echo, ham radio, rock concerts, Silver City Days, the rodeo, and his furry friends Briquette and Coco.

He loved garage sales and shopping for bargains, and he loved Trail. He was proud of and attentive in his work at a restaurant and as a groundskeeper. He usually started discussing Christmas in the summer, because he thought hard about getting just the right gifts for others and worked toward that end for months. His travels to Europe, Mexico, Hawaii and all corners of Canada and the US gave him a rich perspective, with his particular joy being the opportunity to try strange and exotic foods.

Thanks to his many friends and family and thanks in large part to the kindness of the local community, Brad lived a full and happy life. He will be missed by his parents, Harry and Lily Popoff, brother Marty, sister-in-law Beth and nephew Trevor, dear friends Sylvia, Patrick and Sue, his special cousin and Scrabble partner Sonja, plus a wealth of aunts and cousins, which he saw regularly all of his life around Trail, Castlegar, Glade, Nelson, and at gatherings at the family place on Kootenay Lake.

A Celebration Of Life will be held at the Legion Hall, Royal Canadian Legion Branch No.11, 2141 Columbia Ave., Trail, at 2:00 PM, Monday, the 3rd of November.

Donations in Brad’s memory may be made to Parkinsons Society Of BC, 600 – 890 W. Pender St., Vancouver, BC V6C 1J9; and Heart And Stroke Foundation, BC and Yukon, 200 – 1212 West Broadway, Vancouver BC V6H 3V2.

Comedian salutes Canada’s sergeant-at-arms Now the sergeant-at-arms of Canada’s House of Commons has received perhaps an even rarer celebrity distinction in the United States: praise from a late-night TV comedian.

Stephen Colbert, better known for his roasting than his toasting, dedicated an entire segment of Wednesday night’s Colbert Report show to a tribute of Kevin Vickers, whose intervention helped end last week’s Ottawa Adult Living shooting.

“To hell with Bruce Willis,” Colbert said, of the signature line from the movie “Die Hard”: “Our neighbour to the north just put the ‘Eh’ in Yippee-ki-yay.”

The segment then showed the scene in Parliament the day after the shooting. Vickers was seen remaining stone-faced amid a rousing ovation from members in the Commons.

“Look at that magnificent bastard,” Colbert said, applauding Vickers for what he called a stoic, humble response.

“Folks, I have not been this moved by something Canadian since the return of Degrassi. And I cannot believe I am saying this, but I was wrong about Canada. I have said some awful things about you over the years.”

Indeed, mocking Canada has been a staple of Colbert shtick.

Just a few months ago, he joked that President Barack Obama should invade Saskatchewan to get a boost in the polls.

On Wednesday, however, Colbert appeared to undergo a momentary conversion.

“Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I’m going to do the most Canadian thing I can imagine and say: ‘I’m sorry.”’ He then said, “Sorry,” again - this time, with a mock Canadian accent.

And then, with his crowd cheering, he stood up and sang Canada’s national anthem - to the tune of Frank Sinatra’s “The Way You Look Tonight.”

President, Alida Nesmith and past president, Maureen Oliver co-convened the tea with help from many other enthusiastic members. Traditional layered sandwiches, a large selection of delicious squares, and of course coffee and tea all combined with good company and conversation made the event a success.

The country store and bake table offered a variety of home made and hand crafted items for sale and as usual the children in attendance went home with a small treasure from the ever popular Fish Pond.

Since enjoying a break over the summer Rossland CWL members have met twice this fall, once on September 21st and again on October 14th.

The group said a sad goodbye to their spiritual convenor, Ruth Dubois, in the spring. Ruth and her husband Cecil have relocated to Ontario to be closer to their children and grandson.

Jill Peacock has taken over the job of spiritual convenor and has been leading the group in discussion about different types of prayer. On Oct. 14th the topic for discussion was Group Prayer.

Recognized was the need for group prayer the protection of the people in Iraq.

A “Life Chain” was organized in several cities in the area for members to show support for this cause.

With October 16th being World Day of Food, Maureen Corrado reported on the status of the Rossland Food Bank. Donations of food and money continue to be needed and appreciated.

Joyce Bourchier reported on the work that is being done presently by Development and Peace. 2014 is the International year of Farming. Concerns about Genetically Modified Foods (GMO) are growing and these concerns are being addressed by Development and Peace.

Their support is needed to educate the population and to aid farmers all over the world.

With the upcoming Diocesan Convention to be held in Trail in May 2015 Rossland CWL members are considering a fundraiser to support their sisters at Holy Trinity.

There will an annual Advent Music Celebration at Sacred Heart Parish and it will be held on Dec. 11th.

Thanks in advance to Tammy McLean who will be organizing the event. Both Sacred Heart choirs and the choir from the United Church in Rossland will be sharing songs plus there will be Advent meditations.

Everyone is welcome.

A collection will be taken up and all of the proceeds will go to the Rossland Food Bank.

The Saints: Our Christian Heroes We all have heroes. People who inspire us. People who, despite great odds, were able to succeed where others have may have given up. They could be athletes or entertainers, people who excel in their area of expertise or those who exemplify an attribute that we may want to develop.

Their stories give us hope and urge us on towards the goals we set before us.

The Saints were just such people; ordinary people who were able to do extraordinary things by the grace of God. They set their minds on following Christ. They set their hearts on doing his will. In all things they radiated his love in action.

No, they weren’t perfect. They had their failings. Some of which are well documented. It is precisely in their weakness - in their struggle with their human condition, that God’s gift of Grace was made strong. For it is he who chose to act in them, as they strove to draw near to Him

in all respects.

Of St. Therese of Lisieux it was said, “Who would have known she was a saint among us?”

Who would have known that God works so powerfully in a person we knew? Far from diminishing her cause, these words speak to the humble context in which God’s Grace is present. A child fully turned towards her Lord. A simple witness to the love of God and one’s neighbour.

On the Eve of all Saints (“All Hallows’ Eve”) we are called to reflect on our Christian Heroes: people who have gone before us marked by the sign of faith. May we draw deeply from their example and be touched by the work of God in their lives.

May they urge us on as we strive to know Christ and be witnesses of his love in the world.

Preliminary inquiry set for alleged Kootenay bank robbers

What you see ...

The Nelson Star Two people charged in a series of hold-ups at local financial institutions will have their preliminary inquiries on January 28 and 29.

Andrew Stevenson, 34, appeared in Nelson provincial court Tuesday by videolink from jail in Kamloops, still using the crutches he threw off in a September 15 escape attempt.

Stevenson faces 21 charges in the robberies of the Kootenay Currency Exchange in Nelson in which a shot was fired, as well as the

Nelson and District Credit Union, Kootenay Savings in Castlegar, and Johnny’s Grocery in Robson in March and April, plus two break-ins at Castlegar pharmacies.

The counts include robbery, possession of a restricted weapon, pointing a firearm, and possession of stolen property over $5,000.

His co-accused, Krista Kalmikoff, 26, is accused in the Nelson robberies and Castlegar break-ins. She did not appear in court Tuesday.

Both were arrested April 25, the day of the Nelson cred-

it union hold-up. Stevenson was injured when he jumped off a bridge while being pursued by police. Kalmikoff is free on bail but Stevenson remains in custody.

Kalmikoff’s lawyer previously indicated she will seek a jury trial.

A pre-trial conference will be held December 2. Stevenson will also have an arraignment hearing the same day on a new count of escaping custody.

Preliminary inquiries are used to determine if there is enough evidence to proceed to trial.

Cranbrook

City to use voting machines for election

Everybody relax; the machines are not taking over.

However, for the first time in Cranbrook’s history of municipal voting, a computer will be used to tabulate all the results.

It’s a change from tradition, as there used to be four separate ballots for mayor, council, school district trustee and referendums, as in the 2011 electoral cycle. Once ballots were marked, they were deposited into separate boxes and handcounted.

The new system will still involve paper ballots, but a machine will take the ballots and deposit them into a sealed box, tracking all the results in a memory card.

Results should be available within an hour or two of polls closing.

These are the same machines that were recently used in the Toronto municipal election, according to Chief Electoral Officer Brian Wooff. The same machines will be used in Kimberley’s election and in roughly 45 other municipalities across B.C.

“The actual vote, I think they’re going to find is easier, because there’s one piece of paper instead of four,” said Wooff.

For the advance polling, the memory cards will track the results and be kept under strict lock and key by Wooff. Fears of tampering are overblown, according to Wooff, considering any meddler would have to have access to the machine, to the memory cards and to the ballots themselves.

To be clear—voters will be given a paper ballot to fill out.

After marking their preferred candidates for mayor, council, school district trustee and the assent question on fluoridation, the ballot is then fed into the machine, which will store the results on the internal memory card.

On the ballot, each candidate will have a blank oval next to their name, which must be coloured in by pen to make the selection.

Once the ballot is filled out, voters can turn it upside down to preserve the secrecy of their selections, and feed it directly into the machine. The machine

will catch the ballot and draw it into the ballot box, which will, of course, be sealed.

As the machine draws in the ballot, it will acknowledge on a screen that it is accepting one, and will keep a running tally of the number of ballots received.

So what happens if people over-vote and select two mayors? Or vote for nine council candidates? The machine will reject the ballot on the spot after being fed into the tray.

The voter can go back, get another ballot and redo their selections and resubmit their new ballot into the machine.

If a voter does not wish to redo another ballot the machine will be required to take the ballot and count the races that are not over-voted.

If a voter makes one selection for mayor, but over-votes for the council selection and, for example, marks 10 choices, the mayoral selection will still count.

Again, the machine will note the over-voting council selections, and give the option of spitting the ballot back to correct the over-voting from the council column.

Victims share emotions following phony bomb threats

R

estorative Justice can provide communities with a way of viewing incidents of harm or conflict as opportunities for dialogue.

Ideally this will lead to understanding, repair, and reconciliation, rather than to punishment and stigmatization.

Besides law enforcement agencies, other people, including schools, are increasingly using this approach to deal with problems that arise.

A 16-year-old girl phoned in two bomb threats to a local high

Richard

Tarnoff

Restorative Justice school. This was not the first time the school had received bomb threats, and the principal decided not to evacuate. When confronted, the youth stated that she was bored and wanted to get out of class. She was suspended from school.

Everyone agreed to hold a community justice forum.

The girl was accompanied by both parents and a brother.

Also in attendance was the school principal, the superintendent of schools, the chairperson of the school discipline committee, the school’s guidance counsellor, the two secretaries who had answered the phone calls, and the investigating police officer.

The participants also decided to invite a younger student and his parents to discuss how the lockdown affected them.

The girl admitted the offense and added that she did not realize that her actions would have such serious consequences.

The secretaries talked about the effect that the threats had on them and their families. Both had been experiencing added stress and nightmares.

The principal talked about the emotional pain of being forced to make the difficult decision of whether to evacuate the school.

He related that in a previous evacuation some of the special needs children had

been injured, and that his infant son had been attending the school daycare that day.

The younger student talked about how afraid he was as he hid under a table, and his parents shared how helpless they felt when their son called them on his cell phone to let them know what was happening.

The girl expressed deep feelings of shame and remorse for the harm she had caused, and forgiveness was expressed by the victims.

To make reparation, she agreed to

work one hour a day with the special needs children for seven months until the end of the school year.

She further agreed to apologize in writing to the families of the principal and secretaries. In addition, she did research and prepared an essay about bomb victims with the assistance of the guidance counselor.

The girl was

allowed to return to school and successfully completed the term as agreed.

She has since decided to make special education her career choice.

Study seeks link between music and dementia patients

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS UNION GROVE, Wis. Mike Knutson taught himself to play the harmonica as a child, and the 96-yearold sang with his family for most of his life. Even now, as he suffers from dementia, music is an important part of his life thanks to a study looking at the impact of a nationwide music program aimed at helping dementia patients.

The study being led by the University of WisconsinMilwaukee is the largest yet on the impact of the Music and Memory program, which is in hundreds of nursing homes across the U.S. and Canada, said program founder Dan Cohen. Similar studies will be conducted in Utah and Ohio.

Researchers are monitoring the responses of 1,500 Alzheimer’s and dementia patients who were given iPods at Wisconsin nursing homes through the program, which was highlighted in a documentary honoured at the Sundance Film Festival this year. Their mental state will then be compared to the same number of people in 100 other nursing homes who haven’t received iPods.

Knutson is often sleepy, but he perks up when nurses put headphones on him or when his family sings with him during visits at the Wisconsin Veteran’s Home in Union Grove, south of Milwaukee.

He smiles, taps his feet and gently claps his hands upon hearing big-band

music, which is part of his personalized playlist.

“The music really does something to wake him up and help him to be more engaged with what is going on around him,” said his daughter, Barb Knutson, who lives in Madison.

For the study, nursing homes put together personalized playlists for residents.

Researchers then document residents’ interactions, watch sleep patterns, put on wrist monitors that track movement and collect music data.

The study started this summer, and final data should be available by next summer.

“You may see the immediate effects shown on the residents, but we don’t really

know if it actually has longer-term effects,” said Jung Kwak, an associate professor of social work at the university.

Researchers hope to determine whether music improves mood and behaviour, which residents might benefit and then tailor activities accordingly. They also want to see if music could someday reduce the need for prescription drugs, Kwak and Cohen said.

Cohen said there’s also fear of visiting dementia patients, so he hopes the program will encourage families and friends to visit more often.

“Then (the patients) will feel more alive and won’t feel as isolated in these facilities,” he said.

Smokies back on home ice tonight against Merritt

BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

Division foes clash for the first time this regular season when the Trail Smoke Eaters take on the Merritt Centennials at the Cominco Arena tonight.

Coming off a pair of disappointing back-to-back weekend road trip losses against Salmon Arm and Prince George, the Smokies are hoping home turf ends the slump.

The Smokies and Cents have only met in pre-season so far this year. Trail split the first two exhibition games with Merritt, winning on 4-2 and dropping the other, 7-5.

Trail head coach Nick Deschenes says the team has had a glimpse at the Cents style of play after facing them in September, so players have been doing the usual game preparation before lacing up their skates tonight.

“We’re doing our standard prep in terms of video work,” he said.

“We didn’t have a great weekend last weekend, so it gives us an opportunity to kind of take a step back and

refocus. Merritt is a good team and they are ahead of us right now.

“We have played them twice in the preseason, so we are somewhat familiar with how they play and it should be a good game. We have an opportunity to bounce back at home and we have done it in the past.”

Smokies forward, Dallas Calvin, was placed on the injured list on Oct. 21 and is expected to stay off the ice for another couple of weeks with an upper body injury. Trail will be adding an affiliate player to the roster: Hunter Atchison, a late camp cut who started the season with the Vancouver Island’s Saanich Braves.

Forwards Charlie Zuccarini and Jake Lucchini top the Smokies roster with 19 points each.

Cents scoring leader Gavin Gould, has 17 points in 14 games.

Trail is currently tied for fifth place with Salmon Arm in the Interior Division with seven wins in 12 games. The team has two games in hand over Merritt.

The Cents are sitting second in the division with 12 wins.

Hubby is keeping other woman “in reserve” Mailbox

physical, this was absolutely an emotional attachment. He insists that she means nothing to him, but I feel rejected and foolish.

Am I wrong to consider this an affair? -- Ohio Dear Ohio: You’re not wrong. Your husband doesn’t appear to be trustworthy, especially if he still has this woman’s number in his cellphone and is trying to hide it from you.

Even if he no longer texts her, it means he is unwilling to cut off contact, perhaps keeping her “in reserve.”

Please get some counseling -- with or without him -- and work on your next step.

Dear Annie: I’ve

ship? Or should we ignore it and let the chips fall? -- Need Some Guidance Dear Guidance: It is difficult to correct a grownup’s pronunciation without causing offense. You are neither her teacher nor her parent. If Lisa is married, would her husband comment?

Otherwise, we recommend you accept her as she is and keep using those words correctly so she can hear them and, hopefully, incorporate them into her daily speech.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Wedding Jitters,” who asked about a prenup.

Please also tell her that a prenup doesn’t cover everything.

My husband and I have a prenup, but he is now in an assisted living facility. He will not be eligible for Medicaid while I am alive and have financial assets.

Because we are married, the government considers my income

to be his.

Ours is a happy 25-year second marriage. We thought we had protected ourselves financially. If I had it to do over, I never would have married a second time, especially at my age. Make an agreement together and

pledge your love, but don’t make it legal and risk getting the government involved in your future well-being. -Reader in Vermont Dear Vermont: Your situation has little to do with a prenup, but thanks for the warning.

Dear Readers: Happy

Halloween. Please dress your trick-or-treaters in flame-retardant costumes that don’t obstruct walking or vision, and be sure to accompany them.

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

been close friends with “Lisa” for many years.

We’ve shared many important life events and social occasions over that time. She is warm, intelligent, educated and respected.

Since she moves in well-educated circles, people are shocked by her mispronunciation of words that are normally corrected in elementary school.

For instance, she says “pitchers” instead of “pictures,” which she puts in her “liberry” instead of “library.”

None of us would risk offending her by calling this to her attention, but we also know that her job puts her in a position to influence young adults who notice these things. Several of her friends (including me) have used these same terms correctly in front of her as a kind way of pointing out her errors, but she just doesn’t get it. How do we help Lisa without damaging her pride and our relation-

Dear Annie: I recently found out that my 62-year-old husband has been texting a woman with whom he had an intimate relationship in the past. He has admitted that these texts were flirtatious and filled with “dirty talk.” He swears that there was no physical contact, but I’m skeptical. It’s been going on for at least eight months, and I am not convinced it is over. He deleted her name from his contacts, but kept her cellphone number under a fake name.

During this same period, my husband did not give me an anniversary card or a Valentine’s Day card, nor did we go out to lunch as often as we usually did. He also announced that he wants to get a new wedding ring, as he is “bored” with the one I gave him 12 years ago.

He has allowed this woman to come between us. Whether or not there was anything

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

You are strong today and prepared to fight for the rights of others. This might be triggered by a romantic involvement with someone.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

Passionate discussions with others could lead to future travel plans, especially to wonderful places you never thought you would see. Fingers crossed!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Because someone is helping you at your job, you can make headway today. You might get a raise, or at least praise. (It’s always good to have a mentor.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

This is a passionate, romantic day! You might fall in love with someone new.

You might fall in love all over again with your current partner. Anything can happen.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You have strong views about how you want to redecorate or improve where you live. Let others help you if someone offers. Why turn help away?

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Someone will listen to your passionate views because enthusiasm is contagious.

People will respond to what you say today because you believe in your words!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If shopping today, you will be a bit obsessed about something. This is understandable because you love beautiful things. Someone in the family might help you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) If you look in the mirror today, you will see ways to make yourself more attractive. This is almost a certainty. Just try it. Keep an open mind and see how you can improve your image.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Secret love affairs might take place now because passions are running hot! Quite likely, this is a situation related to your work or your job. Mum’s the word.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You feel friendly to someone today and you value his or her friendship. Because of this, you might work on behalf of or do a favor for this

person. This makes sense.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A romantic relationship might begin now with someone in a position of authority, perhaps your boss. If so, this likely will be a secret.

(Ya think?)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Because you want to expand your horizons, you will love to travel today. You also love the stimulation

of intellectual discussions about politics, religion and philosophy. Romance with someone different might begin.

YOU BORN TODAY You are confident and energetic.

People immediately sense this about you. Danger attracts you because you like to live on the edge; but you are straightforward and honest. This is a testing year of growth and building. This growth will occur beneath

Health

Five things to know about strokes THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO Hockey legend Gordie Howe has suffered a stroke, his family has revealed. The stroke has left Howe with loss of function on one side of his body and speech difficulties.

What are strokes?

Why do they cause the type of damage they do?

Here are five things you should know about these medical emergencies, which afflict about 50,000 Canadians a year and claim about 14,000 Canadian lives each year, according to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF STROKES: Strokes are events that involve abnormal and damaging blood flow to the brain. Some are caused when the blood flow is cut off by a clot; that’s called an ischemic (pronounced Is-SCHEMEIck) stroke. Ischemic strokes make up about 80 per cent of all strokes. There are also hemorrhagic strokes, where bleeding in the brain floods some tissues and cuts off supply to others.

They may be caused by an aneurysm, the bursting of a weakened area of an artery.

A third kind of stroke is known as transient ischemic attacks, TIAs or ministrokes. TIAs are harder to spot than full-on strokes, but the damage they cause can accumulate. They are also a warning sign.

People who have them are at higher risk of having a stroke. A TIA should not be ignored; seek medical care.

Howe’s family hasn’t said which type of stroke he had.

GETTING QUICK CARE CAN LIMIT STROKE DAMAGE: The adage the medical profession uses is “Time is brain.” If someone is having an ischemic stroke, doctors can use clot-busting drugs to break up the blockage and limit the damage. But the window in which the treatment works is small - three hours for most patients, 4.5 hours for some others.

So getting to hospital quickly is critical.

Speed is also crucial when someone has suffered a hemorrhagic stroke.

Procedures to stop the bleed must be done to limit the damage THE SIGNS OF STROKE: There are a couple of mnemonics - memory aids - that have been developed to help people recognize the signs of stroke. One is known as F.A.S.T, as in get treatment fast.

F stands for face: does one side droop if the person tries to smile?

A is for arm: ask the person to raise both arms. Does one drift downward? S is for speech: is it slurred?

Can the person repeat a simple statement?

T is for time: Any of these signs is a trigger to call 911.

The other memory aid is called Give Me 5 for Stroke, which looks for abnormalities is some basic skills. Walk: is the

person’s balance disrupted? Talk: is speech slurred or part of the face drooping? Reach: is one side of the body weak or numb? See: has vision in one or both eyes been suddenly lost or reduced?

Feel: is the person suffering from a severe headache?

STROKES CAN HAPPEN AT ANY AGE: Most strokes occur in adults over the age of 65. Howe, for instance, is 86.

But younger adults and even children are not immune. Stacey Yepes of Thornhill, Ont., brought that message home to the public in a big way earlier this year when she used her smart phone to video tape herself having a stroke.

The 49-year old had strokes two days running, but when she sought care after the first was told she was suffering from was stress, not stroke. The video footage changed

her diagnosis.

Children too can have strokes. Those who have heart conditions, trauma to the brain or neck and blood clotting disorders are at higher risk of stroke.

STROKES CAN BE PREVENTED: Experts say many strokes can be prevented by controlling the modifiable risk factors that contribute to stroke. These are things like keeping blood pressure under control, lowering cholesterol, maintaining a healthy weight, keeping physically active, avoiding excessive alcohol consumption, managing stress and not smoking.

You can find more information on stroke online on the website of the Heart and Stroke Foundation, at http://www.heartandstroke.com/ site/c.ikIQLcMWJtE/ b.3483933/k.CD67/St http://w
