Unable to meet the demand of growing patronage with church and community donations, a downtown Trail food bank will no longer offer takehome groceries next year.

Resources for St. Andrew’s Anglican Church once-amonth food bank have been spread thin for awhile now.

“Recent donations have steadily declined,” says Rev. Neil Elliot. “This means the hand-out of free groceries cannot continue past March, a time frame already deeply stretching present resources.”

He acknowledged ongoing support from faithful donors and community contributors, but supply simply cannot meet demand past the next four months.

“The food bank will continue to operate normally through March,” Elliot confirmed.

“This allows food bank guests

a transition planning period through the colder months.”

The service began as a modest food program in the 90s, serving 40 locals. Over time, the food bank grew into community-based outreach, feeding more than 100 people one Tuesday each month.

Handing out mostly non-perishable food items to families and individuals tops $1,000 per month, rendering the church-sponsored program unsustainable.

“We aren’t closing our doors, but we are reshaping our ministry to fit our resources,” Elliot said. “We are excitedly exploring different ways we can help the same guests find healthy food in a safe welcoming space.”

Instead of bagged staples, the church plans to serve a free meal, once a month.

The new program, called the St. Andrew’s Iona Cafe, has a goal to provide healthy food on

site and support social time.

“However, there will be no groceries to take home,” Elliot reiterated, adding, “there may also be opportunity to provide some resource information on life skills, housing and other programs that may be available.”

Community support for the new service model is welcome, says the reverend.

He encourages those with ideas or gifts to contact St. Andrew’s at 231.0124 or by email, rev.neil@telus.net.

Earlier this year, a campaign with the catchphrase “Tuesdays in Trail” began.

The aim was twofold. First, to spread word that anyone in need of a hand up will get it that day at St. Andrew’s or across the street at the Trail United Church.

And second, Tuesdays in Trail was a community reminder Continued on Pg. 2

The Trail Wildlife Association (TWA) does not back a draft proposal that limits motorized entry in the Pend D’Oreille valley, according to its president Terry Hanik.

The volunteer group wants to set the record straight on a dispute that “got out of control,” he told the Times Tuesday.

“Our members have been harassed, called names and have dealt with overwhelming rude phone calls,” he continued. “One member even had a large metal gate that was used on a road closure that was cut up and placed on the end of his driveway.”

Proposed changes to Kootenay Boundary’s regional access management program were presented at a stakeholder meeting turned public late last month.

Ministry staff assured that closing spur roads to motorists reduces the impacts of motorized vehicle access on wildlife populations, their habitats, and sensitive ecosystems in the Pend D’Oreille.

Many in attendance had a hard time directing their input toward the map and instead asked why they were given short notice of the proposed changes.

The general public that managed to squeeze

into the room wondered why they weren’t informed at all.

“The ministry wanted to hold a stakeholders’ meeting before a general wildlife meeting and open public meeting,” Hanik explained.

When word got out to the public, it spread like wildfire, which fuelled debate at the meeting and left many pondering where the group stood on the changes, if not at the head of the table.

“People said we were spearheading it, that we were doing it behind closed doors,” said Hanik. “No, we’re not.”

TWA’s mandate is to cooperate actively in the protection of B.C. forests, soils, waters and natural habitat of fish and wildlife. Hanik takes offence that the group’s name has recently been trashed and its years of work almost “forgotten.”

The 90-year organization has had its hand in many projects over the years including transplanting elk locally and in Christina Lake, feeding sheep on the Salmo Creston, working on the spawning channels in the Murphy Creek area and goat transplants in Trail and Syringa.

Though TWA, in general, supports AMAs (access management areas) where sensitive Continued on Pg. 2

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 areas are regulated, Hanik was just as stunned by the sudden proposal.

The group was up to speed on AMAs and some of the work done in the East Kootenay, and knew eyes were set on the neighbouring area.

But like everybody else, the executive read the proposal just before the meeting, said Hanik, who later discovered that the group’s name was noted as supporting the proposed changes and has since had the association’s name removed.

“We weren’t happy with the way it was handled,” he explained. “What happened was information got out and it went viral and people got the wrong idea.”

TWA held an executive meeting Monday night to address some of the concerns in regards to the proposal. The “mess” highlighted a lack of communication between the executive, who show up to regular meetings, and the rest of the group totalling about 450 members.

The executive has decided to work on its end of commu-

servation properties and promoted the spread of invasive plants throughout the valley.

The group is hopeful some new blood will find their voice.

The ministry says road closures in the Pend D’Oreille are an attempt to conserve habitat that are in distress and being pushed out by motorists, noting that an increase in off-road vehicle use and illegal trail building have damaged con-

Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource, said the current draft of the regulation change was completed after the Oct. 26 meeting.

Government provided the early draft of the proposed change to 22 stakeholder organizations and individuals in late-September/mid-October for review and input. The final

draft will be open for public feedback by the end of the year for one month on the province’s Angling, Hunting and Trapping Engagement website, http://apps.nrs.gov.bc.ca/ pub/ahte/, with the final decision on the proposed regulation change announced in the spring.

“Every two years, government develops draft regulation changes under the Wildlife Act for the hunting and trapping regulation synopsis with input from stakeholders and other interested British Columbians,” he explained.

Hanik concludes “the proposal is not a done deal” and is looking forward to finally having a meeting with the membership.

TWA’s information meeting is scheduled for Monday at the Local 480 Hall in Trail at 7 p.m.

TWA members must bring their membership cards for entry as its closed to the general public. The group is pushing the ministry to host another stakeholder meeting and a public one. “We figure the ministry is responsible,” said Hanik.

Church will offer free monthly meal

CONTINUED FROM A1 that the churches worked together every week to run the food banks, and neither volunteer nor donor has to be a congregation member.

As usage continued to swell, St. Andrew’s had to significantly cut back the number of canned goods in

each bag.

Then in July, the church stopped providing a sandwich or hot dog lunch, which was a service traditionally provided along with a food hamper.

Still averaging 106 grocery bags at its food bank throughout summer, the cupboards in St. Andrew’s were bare and money

stretched to the limit.

“The fact is our donor base is changing,” Trish Milne, the food bank coordinator said at the time, mentioning both churches have lost a considerable base of long term donors and volunteers since last year.

“We need help to fill that gap.”

Diane Sordi (front) and Barbara O’Hearn have an open and bright floor plan to work with in Artisan’s new location at 927 Spokane Street.

Artisan moves closer to other downtown gift stores SHERI REGNIER Trail Times

Artisan Craft Co-op members are tickled to be ‘in the hood’ alongside other downtown Trail gift shops.

The retailer of local hand crafted goods, recently packed up and moved to street level after 19 years in the basement of an Eldorado Street building.

Now located at 927 Spokane St., across from the former Liquidation World, the artisans are feeling a brand new vibe in a more visible and inviting space.

Sunshine, a storefront window and better accessibility have the 50 active contributors and 10 working members feeling the joy ahead of the upcoming holiday shopping season.

“We love being part of the gift shops,” says Donna Anderson,

mentioning The Doorway, Unforgettables, Ye Olde Flower Shoppe, and the upcoming Winter Market on Spokane Street.

“It’s warm and welcoming and displayed nicely.”

FRAN MOLL

“I’ve had people say when they walk in that it feels like walking into somebody’s home. It’s warm and welcoming, and displayed nicely.”

Member Barbara O’Hearn describes the retail zone as a onestop shopping corridor that will soon have a Christmas theme.

“We complement each other,” she added. “And there is a uniqueness to browse through.”

Potter Fran Moll, an original Artisan member, has fond memories of the former locale. But she says being street level with no stairs means all shoppers can now enjoy the store’s improved accessibility.

The burden of stairs was apparent when it came time to move the shop’s expansive inventory.

“There was a lot to move, and three or four days of walking it down the alley,” she said. “We aren’t a bunch of youngsters, so doing the stairs a hundred times in one day wasn’t for everyone,” Moll added.

“But we had sons, daughters and other family members doing the heavy stuff, and husbands and partners doing all the little things like putting up the signage. And now there’s a renewed energy.”

Rossland introduces new water, sewer rates in new year

BY CHELSEA NOVAK Rossland News

It is with great sadness that the family of

Ella Marie Tavaroli

announce her passing after a long and courageous battle with MS on Tuesday, November 10, 2015, at the age of 66 years. Marie was born in Rossland, BC, on November 8, 1949.

Marie is survived by her husband Jack, sons Mike, Pat and Brian (Aimee).

Granddaughters Jessica (Brook), Brooklyn, Teagyn and Harper. Great-grandsons Blake and Owen. Sister Elaine (Alvin) Piccolo, sister-in-law Bev, nieces Janet, Sara, Stephanie, nephews Paul and Chris.

Emcon Lot Mike Kent from Rossland Youth Action Network and Robin Strachan and Heath Clement from the Rossland Skatepark Association both made presentations to council regarding the Emcon Lot. YAN would like to move the Space to a city building on the Emcon lot, which would complement the Skatepark Association’s plans to turn the southeast corner of the lot into a skatepark.

Strachan and Clement also asked council if it would be possible to piggy back on the Washington St. construction. Since the city will be buying large amounts of concrete, the Skatepark Association would like to take advantage of their buying power to order their own concrete.

Similarly, since there will be heavy equipment on site for Washington St., the association would like to take advantage of that and reduce costs by using the same equipment.

The Skatepark Association will still pay for their own concrete and equipment fees, but piggy backing off the city will allow them to reduce overall costs.

Water and sewer rates Council officially voted to rescind its motion to introduce new water and sewer rates by Jan. 1, 2016.

Council also voted to have staff look into options for getting a planning tool for setting new rates at a cost of up to $3,500.

Sustainability Commission Councillor Andrew Zwicker made a motion that staff should look into an

a separate funding procedure, outside the community group funding application, for the Sustainability Commission. As it stands, the commission has to submit an annual budget before receiving strategic direction from council. Allocating funding for the commission outside the community group funding would allow them to put off constructing a full line budget until after they had an idea of their objectives for the year. It would not effect the overall funding the commission receives.

The motion passed with only Councillor Lloyd McLellan opposed.

Guest house Following a public hearing on Monday, council approved a new guest house at 2075 Thompson Ave. at Tuesday’s regular meeting.

Council received two letters regarding the guest house — one for and one against — and heard from two speakers — Angela Price and Janie Simister.

Price, who runs a guest house and B&B, questioned whether or not Rossland could support another guest house, and Councillor John Greene suggested that it would be best to let the market decide.

FireSmart grant Staff recommended that the City of Rossland apply for a 2016 FireSmart grant that will cover 100 per cent of costs up to $10,000 to support residents in undertaking FireSmart planning activities on private lands. Council felt this way a no brainer and voted to have staff apply for the grant.

PROVINCIAL BRIEFS

Expansion plan for Agassiz ski resort

THE CANADIAN PRESS AGASSIZ, B.C. - The British Columbia government has approved a $1.5-billion expansion plan it says will turn a small ski resort near Agassiz into an all-season recreational area.

The province says it will collaborate with the Berezan Group and the local Sts’ailes Band to develop the Hemlock Resort into a tourist destination in the Fraser Valley.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations says plans include increasing the recreational area to about 6,000 hectares from 350 hectares.

It says the agreement includes joint venture opportunities for Berezan and the Sts’ailes to develop a First Nations-themed residential village and a small marina over the next 20 years.

Harvey Paul, chief of the First Nation formerly called the Chehalis Indian Band, says the deal addresses environmental and heritage issues during development.

Teck plans mine lay offs

KAMLOOPS, B.C. - The union representing workers at the Highland Valley Copper mine in south-central British Columbia says low copper prices have led to layoffs.

Teck Resources Limited (TSX:TCK.A) owns the open-pit mine near the community of Logan Lake.

Kyle Wolff of the United Steelworkers local 7619 says the company announced Thursday that it is looking to trim six per cent of its workforce at the mine by early 2016.

He says the it’s a tough market, copper prices are soft and the mine is looking at cutting production of the metal by 30 per cent next year as the company moves into a different phase of mining.

Wolff says language in the contract means non-union contractors will be targeted by layoffs before unionized staff.

Company president and CEO Don Lindsay said in an October news release that commodity prices were low, but the company had reduced costs and raised $1-billion in two transactions.

Low salmon stocks raise alarm

VANCOUVER - Members of the First Nations Wild Salmon Alliance in British Columbia have written to federal Fisheries Minister Hunter Tootoo, requesting an urgent meeting to discuss plunging salmon returns in the province’s rivers.

The alliance’s Chief Bob Chamberlin says six million sockeye salmon were forecast for the Fraser River this year, but only two million fish arrived, while 14 million pink salmon were expected, but barely one-third showed up.

The collection of B.C. First Nations that work to protect wild Pacific salmon stocks says the decline comes as the provincial government approves an increase of industrial effluent into the Fraser.

Woman reveals dark side of gangs

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - British Columbia’s anti-gang squad is putting a more public face on the gang lifestyle - and it’s not pretty.

The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit has released its annual report aimed at discouraging involvement in gangs, especially for young women who follow the lustre but find something entirely different.

The report, released this week, features a soul-baring story by an anonymous woman who said she lost a decade of her life to gangs.

The tale of a Metro Vancouver woman’s “long-term relationship with organized crime” talks of her addictions, her job ferrying drugs and money across the country and the murders of her friends.

She said she found power, respect and friendship with two gang members who were later discovered murdered on a road in rural Surrey, B.C. “His parents chose to have an open casket,” she said of attending the funeral for a young man she called Terry.

“They were making a point for the handful of us who were there. We had all partied together at some point or other. The bullet hole in his head was still prominent.”

The squad’s media spokesman Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton said the woman approached them to tell her story.

“We were just blown away by that lifestyle that we don’t often get a

glimpse of,” he said in an interview Wednesday.

Houghton said it was therapeutic for the woman, whose parents still don’t know that she was involved with crime and gangs.

The unit is hoping her story and others in the report might take some of the shine off the gangster lifestyle for those thinking about getting involved.

“There are days where it does feel like we’re swimming up a waterfall,” he said of fighting the perception of glamour that criminal gangs attempt to put out. But there are other days when they go into schools and talk to kids about the realities of gangs and really feel like they’re making progress, he added.

The unit is made up of nearly 400 officers and civilians who work to fight organized crime, curb gang activity and educate the public in B.C. Its annual report also shows homicides and attempted homicides have climbed to 30 so far this year, compared with 18 for all of last year.

Houghton said the spike is mostly due to the gang conflict this spring in Surrey and Delta where police counted more than 30 shootings over what they believe was a low-level drug war.

He said the shooting stopped in July after the arrest of some suspects, while others involved fled to India and the remainder found the police and media spotlight too glaring.

He called the shootings juvenile and petty.

Business walk sets baseline for development

W

e, Mayor and council from the City of Trail, participated in the first annual Connect with Local Business Walk on October 19th in celebration of Small Business Week. The event was sponsored by the Lower Columbia Initiatives Corporation (LCIC), in conjunction with Kootenay Association for Science & Technology (KAST), the Trail & District Chamber of Commerce, Community Futures of Greater Trail, and the Basin Business Advisors Program. Mayor and council, along with our community partners, visited over 100 businesses in the Trail area over a threehour period. We asked each business six survey questions with the goal of discovering the current state of small business in our community. The overall response from the business community was positive and they were more than willing to engage in a dialogue about what is working and where things could be improved. The results of the survey will be collated by the LCIC and published on their website (www.lcic.ca) in November.

This data will represent a baseline for future change and development. Council wishes to thank the Trail

business community, the LCIC and our community partners for their efforts in both participating in and organizing this worthwhile event.

Five Trail Community in Bloom & IncrEDIBLE trail delegates attended the 2015 Communities in Bloom International Convention on October 5th. The National and International Awards ceremony was a significant moment for the delegation when it was announced that Trail won the International (Medium) competition and maintained 5-Bloom rating (Bronze). In the horticultural world attaining this level of recognition compares to winning an academy award in the movie industry. This award has given Trail world-wide recognition.

Now, we are not only the Home of Champions, but we are also the Champions of Horticulture. With this recognition, the City of Trail has the opportunity to capitalize on tourism, horticultural expansion, community gardening, and community development through the utilization of it history and its natural surroundings. The City of Trail would like to thank all volunteers involved in the Community in Bloom program. A job well done!

We’d also like to thank all the ghouls, witches and zombies who braved the rain to attend this year’s Spooktacular.

Community Comment It was great to see so many costumed-participants enjoying the activities hosted by the City of Trail, Trail Parks & Recreation, Teck, RE/MAX, the 44th Field Engineer Squadron, the Trail Firefighters, Kootenay Savings, KidSport, the Trail Smoke Eaters, the Charles Bailey Theatre, the VISAC Gallery, the Royal Theatre and the downtown businesses. The Trail & District Chamber of Commerce did an excellent job mapping out the Special Spooky Edition of the Trail Market on the Esplanade and we had a great turn out of fall vendors. We’d like to extend

a special thanks to all of our sponsors who made this event so successful.

Downtown Trail looked especially spooky with the decorated lamp posts thanks to the hard-working team at incrEDIBLE trail. The City’s next event is Santa’s Candy Parade on Saturday, December 5th at 4pm in conjunction with the Chamber’s first Trail Indoor Winter Market at 900 Spokane Street from noon-4 p.m.

The Silver City Days Committee, led by Keith Smyth, continues to move forward with the coordination of our annual community celebration. The dates for next year’s event are May 4 to 8, 2016 and plans for family-oriented activities, special events and entertainment are well underway to make it a great Silver City Days.

After working closely with our partners in Warfield, Rossland and the RDKB, Council is delighted to see the Pipeline/Pedestrian Bridge construction start.

The contractor, Graham Infrastructure LP, arrived on site on October 13th and immediately commenced work. Initial work is taking place on both the east and west shores of the Columbia River with the focus on site preparation and relocation of utilities.

A temporary sewer bypass system has been installed and tested. Pile driving for the base of the east tower will take place shortly and is expected to last a month. There will be considerable noise associated with this activity and we ask for the public’s understanding and patience. The contractor will take steps to be as least intrusive as possible and notice of this activity will be made to the community. The total construction schedule is approximately one year. The City is asking for name suggestions for this landmark structure and the submission deadline is December 16, 2015.

If you would like more information on the bridge naming initiative or any other city programs or events, please watch the www.trail.ca, the City’s Facebook page and the local media.

Community Comment is an opportunity for elected officials from our local municipalities to update citizens in the region on the events, plans and progress in their respective communities.

Every Friday, the Trail Times will present, on a rotating basis, a submission from councils, school trustees or regional district directors.

LETTERS & OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

‘Never Again’ has become a mere vacuous slogan Unfortunately for too many Canadians the once powerful and evocative admonitions “Lest We Forget” and “Never Again” have become mere vacuous slogans. Many Canadians are either indifferent to or oblivious of the US/NATO aggression which is fomenting a very real and present danger of global war.

On Wednesday Nov. 4th there was an extraordinary public forum held in the US capitol issuing just such a dire warning. The standing room only event was convened by leading Democratic congressmen John Conyers and Alan Grayson and featured a panel of experts including Stephen F. Cohen of Princeton University, former US Ambassador to the Soviet Union Jack Matlock and Joseph Pepper, a former CEO of Proctor Gamble

and other major US corporations. The reoccurring theme of the presentations was of the Obama administration’s dangerous provocations against Russia leading to thermonuclear war!

In his opening remarks Rep. Conyers warned that the demonizing of Vladimir Putin and Russia has fostered attitudes akin to the darkest moments of the Cold War era.

Jack Matlock, who just two weeks earlier was a panelist at the Valdai Club Conference in Sochi, Russia detailed the history of repeated U.S. violations of agreements with Russia…U.S. led NATO eastward expansion, the US unilateral withdrawal from the European ballistic missile treaty and the installation of socalled defensive missile systems in Europe especially in border-

ing countries such as Poland and Romania.

Stephen Cohen buttressed Matlock’s statements by warning that if NATO puts one more military base on Russia’s western border, or if one more bordering country like Georgia or Ukraine is brought into the NATO military axis, world war becomes irrevocable.

All speakers warned that the greatest danger is the lack of any committed political counter-reaction against this insane war drive…especially here in North America.

Presently, NATO with Canada playing a dutiful role, is conducting Rapid Trident Force, massive war exercises throughout Europe in preparation of the quite insane assumption of an imminent Russian invasion! Also occurring at this time the world can witness a classic example of

U.S. gunboat diplomacy against China in the South China Sea. On his first day on the job Justin Trudeau announced he will pull Canadian jets from US coalition forces in Iraq and Syria. While Trudeau gave no time frame for the withdrawal, this is a laudable decision. When exactly those fighter jets land at a base here in Canada will prove to be a gauge of Trudeau’s integrity.

If the new PM really means business he will pull all Canadian military from and terminate all financial and logistical aid to the illegal Poroshenko junta in Ukraine. These actions will send a strong message to the world community that Canada hasn’t forgotten the ugly despair of war and we will resume the role of peacekeepers again.

It’s time to end Canada’s Ebola visa restrictions

It’s now been a year since Canada stopped issuing visas to people from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone - the three most Ebola-affected countries in West Africa. This move was illegal, unhelpful and wrong-headed then, and yet these visa restrictions remain in place against two of these countries - one year later - despite the outbreak’s containment.

Over the past month there have been only three new cases of Ebola globally. Here’s a quick win for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: Put an end to these visa restrictions. It could not come a moment too soon.

Ebola first broke out in

Guinea in December 2013, spread to other West African countries over the following half-year and finally got global attention in August 2014 when an American doctor contracted it while working in Liberia. At that time there were a couple thousand new Ebola cases each month. The World Health Organization declared a public health emergency of international concern.

Canada panicked. But, unlike other countries, we overreacted.

Our mantra - better safe than sorry - actually made us less safe and continues to make us sorry.

To explain, lawyers like myself have argued from the

beginning that Canada’s visa restrictions were illegal. They contravene the International Health Regulations - a legally binding treaty among 196 countries - which disallow travel restrictions unless based on sound scientific principles, public health advice or a recommendation from the World Health Organization.

BCHL head visits Trail

BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor

The Wild did not only get off to a great start, but continue to lead the division and draw more fans to their home games, 2,800, than any team in the league. But in spite of the Wild success, adding more teams to the BCHL is unlikely in the short term.

“We’ve looked at pretty much every place in B.C. to see if there is an opportunity, whether, it’s for relocation, in some cases over on the Island or not, but I think it took seven years for the Wenatchee team to get in so we’ll see how that goes. They have a very strong market, a good following, and it makes a big difference.

We’ve pretty much exhausted a lot of opportunities in B.C.” The BCHL changed its alignment in 201314 from two divisions to three, making the Interior division one of the toughest in the country. Regardless of the 20-1 Penticton Vees dominance this year, Grisdale likes the parity in the league and points to the success of Coquitlam’s playoff run in 2014, and Nanaimo’s and Chilliwack’s turn-

around last season.

“I just came off the Island, and they’re very competitive, and there’s three or four teams in the Lower Mainland that are right up there … We brought in standards a number of years ago that raised everybody’s level of play, and didn’t increase costs across the league, and we’re really focusing now on how to help our teams and come up with other ideas.”

Making teams financially viable is a prime concern for the BCHL executive, and with teams like the Trail Smoke Eaters struggling with their bottom line, Grisdale has made it a priority to search for ways to improve their respective situations.

“Player wise we are as good as we’ve ever been … but I think all franchises struggle to break even,” said Grisdale. “We’ve got a better financial performance by a long shot than we did a year ago.

But we have to continue to make headway because its becoming increasingly more difficult to get bums in the seats and sponsorships.”

Continued on A10

BCHL commissioner John Grisdale made his annual stop in Trail on Tuesday to take in a game and reflect on his 12 years as head of one of Canada’s most successful junior hockey leagues.

BCHL teams have won more RBC Cups, 11, than any other junior league in Canada and it’s record graduating players to the NCAA or CIS ranks has been tops among Junior A leagues across North America. Last year, 137 BCHL players were awarded scholarships to American or Canadian colleges, including eight from the Smoke Eaters.

This year, 88 players have already made commitments to post-secondary institutions.

“It’s a credit to our programs,” said Grisdale.

SPORTS Retirees curling: Walsh waxes Wyton

In Retirees Curling action at the Trail Curling Club, the Murray Walsh team broke it open against team Wayne Wyton.

Tied after four ends, Murray chipped his own stone sideways to bite the button for a single, taking some wind out of Wyton’s sails. The Walsh team put the opposition away stealing a pair of threes in the sixth and seventh for a 10-3 win.

In a close game, Team Secco carried a three-point lead into the last end, but skip Forrest Drinnan drew to the four foot with his last rock for a 7-7 tie.

Team Jim Stewart faced a strug-

gling team Ernie Brown. Much to the chagrin of team Stewart, team Brown found the range and finished team Stewart 10-2. Ernie’s new shoes turned into ruby slippers.

Team Serge Pasquali led team Dan Horan 9-5 after eight ends. Team Horan with the hammer in eight made all the shots. Dan with last rock also made his shot to score four for the tie.

Kevin Oliver scored in the first two ends only to see team Clare Coleman tie it with three in the third. Team Oliver broke it open in the fourth with four on their way to a 9-5 victory.

ATTENTION CITY OF TRAIL RESIDENTS

SNOW REMOVAL PROCEDURES The City of Trail would like to advise the residents of our current snow control procedures and policies.

The City has 76 kilometers of roads to maintain throughout the City and has 14 pieces of equipment such as loaders, sand spreaders, snow plows and a grader to accomplish this task.

From mid November to March, the City has at least one employee on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. (The number of employees involved in snow removal is dependent on the amount and duration of snowfall).

City streets are maintained on a priority basis, which is as follows: #1 Priority Major collectors and emergency routes, i.e. Hospital Hill, Warfield Hill, Fifth Avenue Hill. Hills with extreme gradients and significant volume, i.e. Green Avenue. #2 Priority Bus routes. #3 Priority Downtown core, including downtown parking lots and the Aquatic Centre. #4 Priority Hills with lighter traffic volumes, i.e. Lilac Crescent, Park Street. #5 Priority All remaining residential streets and parking lots.

When all 5 priorities have been accomplished, lanes will be plowed and all other streets widened.

City owned sidewalks and the Victoria Street Bridge sidewalk will be cleared following heavy snowfalls.

In general, sand is not used on level streets except when extreme icing conditions are experienced.

Snow removal in the downtown area is undertaken after a heavy snowfall (this is normally done in the evening hours). Other designated business areas will be cleared as required.

The City plow trucks plow with the traffic flow. Snow is cleared from the center of the road to the right curb side.

The City will not clear snow windrows from any private driveway.

Remember, citizens can greatly assist the snow control operation by adhering to the following requests: 1. Remove all unused vehicles, boats, trailers, etc. from the streets from November to March.

2. Ensure that any vehicles required to park on the street are parked as close to the curb or sidewalk as possible.

3. Refrain from shoveling or spreading snow onto the boulevard or into the roadway from sidewalks and private property, etc.

4. Obey snow removal signs.

Property owners are required to remove any accumulation of snow or ice from sidewalks abutting their property.

The City Works Department office in Glenmerry is open from 7:00AM to 4:00PM, Monday to Friday and all snow related concerns or problems should be directed to this office at 250-364-0840. Emergency calls outside of normal working hours are directed through to the Fire Department who relay the concern to the appropriate person for response. City related calls to the Fire Department should be through the 250-364-1737 number.

We hope you have a safe and enjoyable winter season and thank you for your patience and anticipated cooperation.

Local rinks heat up

T

here will be a lot of heat on local teams in local rinks this weekend, figuratively, anyway, despite the onset of winter in the mountains hereabouts.

Beaver Valley and Castlegar have a home and home series - the winner of which, if there is one, will be in first place in the Murdoch Division.

Both teams have lost two of their last three games and will need to get their mojos working fairly soon to to hold off rising Nelson and Grand Forks teams in the standings race.

The Murdoch division is likely still the strongest in the KIJHL, but recent out of division results for its front runners indicate other sectors of the league are catching up in that regard - which means points, especially premium points against division rivals, will weigh heavily on playoff prospects.

People may say it is still early, but it isn’t,

DAVE

THOMPSON Sports ‘n’ Things really, and there should be lots of fire involved in this weekend’s big series.

• The Smoke Eaters, meanwhile, have games against Island teams from Cowichan Valley and Victoria.

While that should provide slightly easier competition than they saw in two recent games against Penticton, it will not be easy for Trail to take points from the weekend.

Cowichan Valley leads the Island division and is tied for fourth overall in the league in scoring. Victoria is last in the division, but has

a five-game winning streak at its back. The Victoria story is really interesting, because they have done little trading on their way to serious improvement in their results.

The Smokies will need to start well something they failed to do against Penticton - and play for 60 minutes the way they were only able to do for 40-50/game against the Vees.

Not trying to be a downer, but with a playoff rung in reach using games in hand, the Smoke Eaters need to provide some indication they are capable of picking up points in at least small bunches.

Fans have held steady with them so far, but with this being their last home weekend for a while the team must provide those fans with some spark of belief they can be in contention - starting right now.

It should be an interesting three days in arenas around here.

Community makes it worth while CONTINUED FROM A9

Realignment to the three-division format helped teams, particularly Mainland and Island teams, reduce expenses; however, it has also created unique challenges come playoff time.

Once the division champions are crowned, a mini-round robin between the top three teams decides which two will play in a best-of-seven championship.

“As far as our playoff is concerned it’s

not ideal, you want to have four-out-of-seven in all rounds, but we morphed into a threedivision league because of the things we talked about regarding costs.”

Despite teams’ struggles to stay in the black, the product on the ice continues to improve with 268 BCHL graduates playing for NCAA teams this season and almost 30 in the NHL. While the former Vancouver Canuck defenceman didn’t expect to carry on as commissioner for this long, his

passion for the game and the people involved persists.

“I certainly didn’t intend to do this this long, but I love the league,” said Grisdale.

“I’m really committed to the group, and I love the effort everyone puts in, like Tom Gawryletz here. That really does keep me going, but there’s still more work to do and as we talked about those issues that we try to figure out, I look forward to working away at those and we’ll see.”

RELIGION

Holy Trinity CWL thanked by incrEDIBLE

SUBMITTED Following the Nov. 3 Memorial Mass which honoured deceased members of Holy Trinity CWL, the council welcomed Sharon Deyotte of Trail’s incrEDIBLE planters project. Deyotte thanked the CWL for their monetary support of the enterprise, which she pronounced a resounding success. The project met its primary goal of providing fresh vegetables for three local food banks, as well as building community spirit and educating several generations about the value of gardening. President Marjorie Nutini thanked Deyotte for her dedicated work.

In the business meeting that followed, Sandra Stajduhar, organization chair, outlined plans for the annual membership drive.

Christian Family Life chair Bunny Dallas has arranged an afternoon coffee party and visit to Rosewood Manor seniors on Nov. 25.

Anne Pisacreta, Community Life chair, noted that Development and Peace has launched an action campaign, Create a Climate of Change. Postcards will be available for parishioners to send to Prime Minister Trudeau before he attends the December Climate Change Conference in Paris.

Education and Health chair Rosemary Catalano distributed copies of the “My Voice” booklet and urged members to discuss Advance Care Directives with their families.

Connie Makse, Communications chair, reported that 298 parishioners signed the White Ribbon Against Pornography for the WRAP campaign, to show concern about the proliferation of pornography on the internet.

Resolutions chair Mary Billingsley thanked the members who completed the online Assisted Suicide Survey and advised continuing education on end of life issues. It was noted that the August 2015 CWL national convention held in Vancouver adopted a resolution urging the federal government to invoke the notwithstanding clause in response to the Carter v. Canada case.

Linda Zol reviewed the successful Parish Tea and thanked members for their generosity in organizing the event. Next year’s Tea will be Oct. 22, 2016 at St. Michael’s School. The group approved a request from the Village of Warfield to cater their Seniors’ Tea on Dec. 6. Lorna Perri will coordinate the planning. President Nutini called for service project suggestions to carry out the Year of Divine Mercy that has been declared by Pope Francis. The special year of grace and service begins on Dec. 8. The evening concluded with the singing of “Canticle of the Sun”, led by Elizabeth Stephens. Members are invited to attend a festive dinner meeting Monday, Dec. 7, 5:30 p.m. at Holy Trinity.

The Devil Prowls “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 It astounds me the number of people who do not believe in the devil. Yet the verse above from 1 Peter makes it pretty clear that the devil our enemy exists. A lion in the wilderness does not run after the healthy prey because they are strong and capable of getting away but it is the weak animals who become easy prey. The devil though he might try does not go after the healthy Christian who is strong in their faith and more capable of resisting the enemy. Instead the devil goes after the weak Christian whose faith is not strong and easily led astray. Satan is referred to as the father of lies and he will do whatever he can to throw Christians off track or keep those on the fence from moving closer to God. The devil truly is our enemy!

I saw this on face book the other day: “The enemy always fights the hardest when he knows God has something great in store for you!!”

Isn’t that the truth – Satan does not want to

see people glorifying God, or God’s church growing and that is when Satan is sure to throw in a wrench to try and discourage us and get us off track of following what God wants in our life and in the life of His church.

It saddens me when there is in fighting in Churches. It is during these times that the enemy is having a hay day; he is most happy when he can get into a church and tear it apart often over trivial matters. Issues that have nothing to do with sharing the gospel and where God is certainly not glorified. I heard of a church (not in Trail) that spent a great deal of time and energy arguing over whether the carpet in the sanctuary should be blue or red while they were missing out on ministry opportunities that God had given them if only they had stopped the arguing and focused on the real reason for being the church – sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.

We are given great advice in James 4:7-8a “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.”

Dear Annie: I am in a sorority and proudly wear my Greek letters. However, when I go outside the campus, I receive a lot of negative feedback. People assume things about me that are not true, and this can be very hurtful. They think I haze, hang out promiscuously with frat boys, drink, do drugs and care only about getting a “Mrs.” degree.

Let me tell you, this is not what Greek life is about. I, as well as a few of my sorority sisters and fraternity cousins, am on a full-ride scholarship and must maintain a 3.5 grade-point average or better.

LOCAL City recognizes National Child Day SHERI REGNIER Trail Times

In recognition of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the City of Trail proclaimed Nov. 20 as National Child Day. Generation to Generation, operating as Sanctuary in downtown Trail, introduced the initiative after 18 years of supporting children and families in Trail.

Affordable housing and child care remain obstacles for local children and families, so the day provides opportunity for community engagement about these key issues and their implications. This year’s theme is “It’s Our Right to Learn.” Alexander Boily, 2, (left) and his four-year old sister McKayla, attend Creative ABCs at the Trail and District Public Library, a program to help develop the six skills of early literacy needed for Kindergarten and school.
