MRI scans have been available in Trail, Cranbrook and Penticton hospitals since 2005. The $3 million machine was purchased with $1.5 million from the province and with hospital foundation funds from the three communities. ($375,000 from Kootenay Boundary, $375,000 from Cranbrook, and $750,000 from Penticton) explained Cescon.

“Because MRI is quite complicated, we don’t just turn on a switch, ramping it up takes time. So we are expecting by the end of the four-year program to increase our scans by 45 per cent, or by an

additional 7,500 exams,” he added. “So that’s significant and we’re very pleased because we’ve been asking for this for a very long time.”

An MRI is a safe and painless test that used a magnetic field and radio waves to produce

detailed pictures of the body’s organs and structures.

The scans are used to diagnose a number of medical conditions, including abnormalities of the brain, as well as tumours, cysts and softtissue injuries.

Inaugural event a success

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Stach borrowed the idea from Victoria when he became general manager three years ago and saw an opportunity to start up a couple community events locally. Trail Transit is the local operator of BC Transit, which services Greater Trail and Castlegar.

Last year’s Stuff the Bus was a big success with most of the 30-foot bus filling up with donated goods and this year should bring even more good will with a 35-foot bus set for Ferraro’s parking lot.

“It took a team of 15 volunteers at the Salvation Army 25 minutes to unload the bus (last year), it was quite full,” recalled Stach. “In fact, we collected so much clothing that they had to take up loads of clothing separately.”

The food and clothing go to the Salvation Army’s food bank, and soup kitchen but overspill will be shared with other local food banks.

• Security Installation and Service • ULC Security Monitoring • Medical Alert Installation & Monitoring

“It means that we don’t have to worry as much,” said Linda Radtke, manager of Trail Salvation Army. “It was fantastic last year. Not only with the food but with the coats and the mittens and the boots and the winter wear, it gave a lot of people something warm to wear.”

She’s hoping the response is just as strong this year since the need is up.

“Just with every-day hampers, lately, the need has been tremendous,” she adds. ” I’d say we’ve increased this month in November alone by about 30 per cent.”

There is a new trend of young families using the local service, too, some new to the area and with a few children. But Radtke is confident Stuff the Bus will top up the food bank’s cupboards and ensure local people in need are taken care of during the holiday season.

“Trail just keeps on giving, and I’m so proud to say that I live here,” she adds.

After two days without power, the lights were set to turn back on Thursday night for approximate 40 Rossland residents waiting patiently.

“There is currently 303 meters without power and why I say meters is there are not a lot of people at Red Mountain right now because of the season,” explained Nicole Bogdanovic, FortisBC’s corporate communications advisor.

“There are nine crew members on site making those repairs, and they have so far replaced five of the six poles, so they’re going to continue on the last

knocked down a number trees in the Kootenay region, impacting electricity service in not only Rossland but Trail, Warfield, Salmo, Castlegar, Ymir, Crawford Bay and Coffee Creek.

FortisBC’s first priority was to attend to critical customers like Rossland’s wastewater treatment plant, which was back online Wednesday afternoon.

Power lines in the Red Mountain area were heavily damaged when crews simultaneously repaired the structures in the “less-populated area.”

“I think most people in the region can see that the poles are down, so they’ve been quite understanding what are crews are dealing with,” added Bogdanovic.

To Paris with Love When it comes to the attacks in Pais, our first response is one of outrage. Outrage for blatant disrespect for life. Outrage for the death of innocent people. Outrage for crimes committed, not only against the people of France, but against all humanity.

For the ordinary person, this heinous crime is a reminder of what happens when we give voice to sin in our lives. When we allow sin to take possession of us to such a degree that common decency no longer has a voice. The very fact that the human mind can entertain such grievous crimes should convince us to purge sin from our lives and open ourselves to the grace of God. In his Sermon on the Mount (Matthew, chapters 5 - 7) Jesus speaks of a love that dares to push the boundaries, to include our enemies. Surely these perpetrators must be brought to account for their crimes. Surely the guilty must be called to attone for their sins. But this should be done while descending down the same staircase of loathing that precipitated the crime. More strength and courage are

required for a measured response than for a reactionary one. Humanity is not served in a quid pro quo (“tit for tat”) response.

“Love of enemies”, though not without its difficulties in this case may be easier to apply in the more insignificant offences that are visited upon us on a daily basis.

Maybe, in response to Paris, we need to ask ourselves: “What is it that has caused resentment to crop up towards ‘my enemies’?” “What is preventing me from ‘burying the hatchet’ and allowing love to take root?”.

May the events of Paris soften our hearts towards our neighbours. May it instill in us a new resolve to sow seeds of reconciliation, healing, compassion, generosity and mercy in our daily lives. The remedy for our sins was God’s loved poured out for us in Christ Jesus our Lord. The price he paid was his death. May we unite ourselves daily to his gift in the love we bear our neighbour, especially those who are most unlike us. May we work each day for peace and reconciliation in our daily interactions and may it slowly extended itself into the world.

Faith shapes morality

“

La foi n’a rien à voir avec la morale.” Faith has nothing to do with morality.

We came upon this piece of graffiti three years ago while in Tournon in southern France. It could have been written yesterday in response to the Islamic terrorist attacks in Paris that killed 150 people and wounded scores of others.

When crimes like this one occur, it is tempting to demonize religion and believers. The Abrahamic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam – come under particular scrutiny. Some argue that the Hebrew Bible, the LOUISE foundational text of these religions, encourages violence and immoral acts.

Everyday Theology They point to passages of scripture that command the stoning of adulteresses or the smiting of one’s enemies, to the practice of slavery and to misogyny.

These passages are clearly problematic from our moral perspective, and I have no intention of defending them. It would be dishonest to pretend that religion has not played a part in man’s inhumanity to man. However, it is quite a leap to claim that religion has nothing to do with morality. Faith can be a strong influence on morality and can govern behavior, for better or for worse. Terrorist attacks committed in the name of religion illustrate the worst of that behavior.

No rational person, especially a deeply religious one, accepts violence as moral. Rational people (and most religious people fall into this category) share a universal understanding of morality. Boiled down to a basic principle, morality might be summed up as “do no harm” to others or yourself.

Violence as an exercise of faith is especially odious since love and compassion are inherent qualities of the world’s great religions.

The Judeo-Christian tradition has shaped my understanding of morality, as it has shaped that of much of the western world. Its moral tradition, with which we struggle, precedes and goes beyond the “do no harm” principle. For the prophets, three things were necessary: to love mercy, to act justly, and to walk humbly with God. For Jesus of Nazareth, the great commandment was to love your neighbour as yourself. To love, to be merciful, to be concerned about others, to be humble are some of the ways that a person of faith honors the goodness of God and behaves in a moral way.

We cannot let this latest attack on humanity warp our collective moral sense. Since the Paris attacks, there has been a backlash against Syrian refugees. As I write this, 35,000 Canadians have signed a petition to stop the resettlement of Syrian refugees into Canada. This is irrational; many of the Syrian refugees are not even Muslim, and the terrorists were French citizens. It is also wrong.

Fear of those who are different can prevent us from doing the right thing, as much as it can motivate someone (like a terrorist) to do the wrong thing.

No one has a monopoly on morality. A person does not have to be religious to be good. And while one would hope or expect a religious person to be moral, we know this is not always the case.

Faith and morality are like two streams flowing into one river, shaping the river’s ability to sustain or destroy the life along its banks. For better or for worse, religion can shape behavior and influence moral decision-making.

PROVINCIAL Recent storms great news for ski resorts THE C ANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER Storms that ripped across B.C., this week, causing power outages, downed trees, flooding and general mayhem have actually brought some good news to skiers and boarders.

Mounds of new snow blanket most of B.C.’s ski resorts and several have announced early openings to take advantage of the fresh powder.

Whistler resort opened Thursday, although the adjoining Blackcomb Mountain won’t fire up its lifts until next Thursday.

C y p r e s s Mountain on Vancouver’s North Shore says it has more snow than at any point during last year’s dismal season, so it will open Friday boasting 45 centimetres of powder over the last week, alone.

Silver Star and Sun Peaks both plan to open on Saturday while Big White, outside Kelowna, opens Nov. 27.

A powerful El Nino effect is expected this year, but forecasters have also predicted heavy snowfalls will kick off the 2015-16 season.

NANAIMO

REQUEST FOR

Pot dispensaries plan to defy order PROPOSALS

BY TAMAR A CUNNINGHAM

Nanaimo News Bulletin

Nanaimo medical marijuana dispensaries will remain open, despite the threat of police enforcement.

Medical marijuana dispensaries have reached out to government for clarity on potential new regulations and help in the lead-up to a deadline to stop selling marijuana. But dispensaries have no plans to close, according to the new Nanaimo Cannabis Coalition.

“Our coalition has stated we will remain open … because people need their medicine,” said Matthew O’Donnell, coalition spokesman.

Ten medical marijuana dispensaries were given notice last Thursday by the Nanaimo RCMP to stop selling marijuana and marijuana derivatives in seven days or they could face police enforcement, including

the arrest of employees and patrons.

No further questions are being answered by the Nanaimo RCMP, but in an earlier e-mail spokesman Const. Gary O’Brien said action is related to an ongoing commitment to public safety and to notify dispensaries about the ramifications of noncompliance with the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Health Canada only licenses six B.C. producers, including Tilray, to sell to registered, medically prescribed patients.

Still, local pot retailers have been openly selling bud, tinctures and marijuana-infused edibles to Nanaimo customers, some for close to a year.

On Monday, O’Donnell appealed to Nanaimo city council to stand with “thousands” of medical marijuana users and to ask the RCMP for a cooling-off period while the new Liberal government de-

cides how it will legalize marijuana. The coalition will also lab test products to medicinal standards and welcomes regulation, he said.

“How can our members, who suffer from cancer, chronic pain and serious illness, be treated as criminals today knowing that in the coming months any adult will be able to freely purchase and consume the same product?” O’Donnell asked.

The coalition has also reached out to the provincial and federal political representatives, including Nanaimo-Ladysmith MP Sheila Malcolmson.

City council made no motion to help the coalition.

Malcolmson said she’s curious about the timing of police action, and has called for a briefing from the Nanaimo RCMP, as well as a conversation with Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould.

SURREY

One month, 162 stolen vehicles recovered

BY SHEIL A REYNOLDS Surrey North Delta Leader

In one month, Surrey RCMP recovered 162 stolen vehicles as part of its Project Hot Wheels initiative.

Spearheaded by the Auto Crime Target Team with assistance from several another units, Project Hot Wheels – intended to make a dent in auto theft crime – took place from Sept. 28 to Oct. 29.

In addition to recov-

ering the stolen vehicles, police made 16 arrests and laid 59 charges.

One young offender had more than 150 past interactions with police

and was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.

T

here’s something about local government that brings out the worst in some people.

Staff get spat on. Mayors and councillors are often the victims of what can only be described as cyberbullying. In some towns, process servers would be welladvised to offer volume discounts to local governments.

It takes place every which way imaginable: fighting between neighbouring councillors, between councillors on the same council, between councillors and staff, between the public and councillors and between the public and staff.

You almost need a scorecard to keep up with who’s bullying who.

And it’s time for a time out.

Think adults are too old for time outs? Think again.

Nanaimo council has just hired an independent investigator for an undisclosed sum to conduct an independent investigation into complaints of bullying and harassment between councillors and between council and staff.

This comes on the heels of the city hiring a facilitator from the Integrity Group (no relation) to help councillors make nice with each other.

In a recent interview with Barbara Yaffe of the Vancouver Sun, that city’s outgoing chief planner, Brian Jackson, noted:

“My staff, when they that you catch go to public meetmore flies with ings, have been spit vinegar than you at. They’ve been do with honey. called names.”

signed, “because of the deplorable way (he) and others are treated.”

He was referring to how staff treat other staff, but there’s another dysfunctional relationship at many city halls: how the public treats them. It’s not always pretty.

Try some of the same stunts at most places of employment and chances are the cops would be called or complaints filed with WorkSafeBC. Two chief administrative officers left their posts, in part because they didn’t sign on for the type of abuse hurled at them online and face-to-face.

Part of the problem is the habit of some councils to hide behind staff when they make unpopular decisions. Take a cue from the B.C. government: elected officials defend the decisions they make, not deputy ministers.

For lawyers some of this is billable hours heaven, for police not so much.

White Rock’s mayor called in the RCMP in September to help restore order during a council meeting when things got heated between him and a former councillor.

Most of this bullying could easily be stopped if some of the bullies simply asked themselves one question: how would they react if the shoe was on the other foot?

plan to phase out door-do-door mail delivery, developing a new National Early Learning and Child Care Framework, and addressing issues around housing affordability.

These largely uncosted commitments could easily amount to many billions of dollars of additional federal outlays per year. With government revenues under pressure from low commodity prices and a generally sluggish economy, your cabinet colleagues will soon discover that there are limited resources to pay for new programs and expanded services, even with the decision to go into deficit.

Avoiding a large structural budget deficit will arguably be your most important task as minister of Finance.

A final challenge is to improve Canada’s lacklustre productivity. Productivity measures the amount of economic output for every hour of work.

Higher productivity means rising real incomes for workers and a better standard of living for all citizens.

Canada’s labour force growth rate is expected to slow and as it does, the economy’s growth potential will also diminish. By the mid-2020s, economic growth will depend almost entirely on our ability to increase productivity. On current projections, potential real GDP growth could fall to 1.0 to 1.5 per cent within a decade, significantly below what Canadians have been accustomed to.

Faced with this sobering prospect, policy-makers must start to reassess the structure and impact of existing and new spending initiatives, taxes, regulatory frameworks and other government programs through a productivity lens. And the minister of Finance is the most logical person to direct this work.

KIJHL

Hawks face division rivals 12 points in the past six matches.

Robertson and Haney are Brandon, Man. natives while Grambo hails from Birch Hills, Sask. All three are cast-offs from other junior teams but have embraced the underdog role with the Bruins and flourished. With a top-four finish this year, the Bruins would make the playoffs for the first time in 16 years.

The Nitehawks, meanwhile, won two big games against the Castlegar Rebels last weekend, but did so with a short bench. The Hawks will likely be short again this weekend with injured players Braden Fuller, Sam Swanson, Lyle Frank, and Ryan Neil not expected to return to the line up. Dylan Hepler will be back for Saturday’s game against Grand Forks after serving a two-game suspension for a hit to the head. In their absence, the Hawks will need another complete team effort in order to reap similar results on the weekend.

The 12-10-0-0 Leafs, meanwhile, are a team desperately in need of an identity. Their top scorer, Brendan Smith, is a 20-year-old defenceman who hasn’t played since Oct. 24 because of injury. Trail native Austin Anselmo, also a defenceman, is one of their best players and is second in scoring with nine assists and 12 points; not a good scenario for a team that has scored 32 less goals (63) than the Nitehawks (95), and the only team in the KIJHL with a record over .500 who scores, on average, less than three goals per game.

The Nitehawks will face off againt the Leafs in Nelson at 7 p.m. tonight and in Grand Forks Saturday at 7 p.m.

Birchbank Golf Course member Braden McKay lands an approach during the Birchbank Men’s Open last July.

Below: McKay, a Rossland native, signed a letter of intent this weekend to attend and play golf for the NCAA Wilmington University Wildcats in Wilmington, Delaware starting in September.

McKay commits to WU Wildcats JIM BAILEY Trail Times

Rossland native and Birchbank Golf Course member Braden McKay is taking his golf game to the next level.

The J. L. Crowe student made a significant decision on the weekend, when he signed a letter of intent to attend Wilmington University (WU) in Wilmington, Delaware on a golf scholarship.

“I’m definitely excited to go there,” said McKay. “And going there to golf is going to be good.”

The Grade 12 student began talks with Wilmington about three months ago, and attracted interest from NCAA schools in Texas and Boston as well. But after receiving offers from both West Texas A&M and Wilmington, McKay decided on the latter following talks with WU golf coach Harry Jennings and researching the program

and its travel opportunities.

“I had to plan out which one and make the decision,” said McKay. “The schedule that Wilmington University plays was a lot more appealing than what West Texas played. West Texas mostly stayed in Texas and New Mexico but Wilmington they travel.”

The Wilmington University Wildcats golf team plays in the NCAA Div. II Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC), which is comprised of 14 institutions from Delaware, Connecticut,

New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.

However, a quick glance at its schedule shows the team playing in tournaments in St. Augustine and Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., Monterray Bay, Calif., and Waikoloa, Hawaii and that’s just in its fall season.

“They go to Florida, California, and Hawaii so that was pretty appealing,” added McKay. “They play probably the best schedule in Div. I and Div. II so they play against really good schools.”

In 2014-15, the Wildcats topped their Conference and then won the Atlantic-East Super Regional championship before finishing 16th in the nation at the NCAA Div. II Golf National championship in North Carolina.

While the 17-yearold McKay is still considered a junior golfer, he plans to play the more competitive ama-

teur and pro tournaments this summer to prepare for the NCAA ranks.

With a 1-handicap, the B.C. golfer should fit in nicely on a 10-man Wildcat team rife with international flavour.

The current team has six American-born players but also golfers from Scotland, Germany (2), and Denmark, and with four golfers graduating in 2016, McKay and another commit from Vancouver will add some Canadian content to the Wildcats.

Braden’s brother Tyler is in his Junior year on a golf scholarship at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri, and has been a good source of information for his younger brother.

“I’m talking to Tyler a lot about the first year and stuff, and he’s given me a lot of advice, so it should help.”

McKay will start school in Wilmington in September.

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks face two Neil Murdoch division rivals on the weekend with games going in Nelson tonight and Grand Forks on Saturday.

The Nelson Leafs have lost three in a row, including two straight to a Grand Forks Border Bruins team that have roared to six straight victories.

The Bruins beat Nelson in both ends of home-and-home series this past week, with a 2-1 victory in Nelson and a 5-2 drubbing at home in Grand Forks. The Bruins delivered the same fate to the Nitehawks the week before in a pair of 3-2 losses, and are currently tied with the Leafs for third spot in the Neil Murdoch division.

“Grand Forks is the hottest team in the league right now, they’ve won six in a row and they’re a totally different identity and team than they’ve been in the past, and I think they are going to be a team to be reckoned with.” said Nitehawks coach and GM Terry Jones.

The over-riding constant for the 11-11-0-2 Bruins during this stretch has been the stellar play of goalie Anthony Galliart. The 19-year-old Kansas City native has faced 229 shots in those six games and stopped 218 of them for a .952 save percentage and a 1.83 goals against average over that time.

The ‘prairie package’ of Dylan Haney, Chad Grambo and Jordan Robertson have contributed the majority of the offence of late, with Grambo netting four goals and nine points, Haney six goals and nine points, and Robertson five goals and NANCY GREENE LEAGUE

Sports: a world apart from world issues DAVE

THOMPSON

A

Sports ‘n’ Things

nyone who believes 9/11 (no, not the part that it’s my birthday) did not change the world for the worse just has refused to pay attention.

And yet, there is one overriding constant, inexplicable as it may be - soccer.

Nothing, it seems, can halt either domestic or international soccer schedules, at least not for any meaningful length of time. Nations and corporations alike field teams no matter the circumstance.

You have a civil war in your midst? Send your soccer team to fight for an opportunity to play in a FIFA event, even if it is just a friendly (exhibition), kind of, warmup, match for the, “real thing.”

Your economy is in the dumpster, people are homeless and starv-

ing and being abused on the streets and in their homes? C’mon, there are plane trips to book, hotels to arrange, because there is an IOC qualifier to play.

None of the plagues, scourges or instability of the supposedly modern world seem to interfere with countries, and cities, bucking up for venues and salaries and travel and kit for representative soccer teams and and the, “privilege,” of hosting same.

Brazil, where the, “economic miracle,” has not made a dent in the number of millions who live in slums, yet just hosted the World Cup of Soccer and will soon be home to the IOC’s big party, is not even, by a long shot, the worst example.

Famine-stricken African nations refuse to re-purpose what little material wealth they have away from expensive attempts to qualify for regional or international finals, and those qualifying attempts become more expensive at each level. Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, etc., continue to field teams in all competitions despite the duress under which their systems and citizens find themselves.

It should be puzzling,

but it seems when Karl Marx intoned that religion was, “the opiate of the masses,” he was just unaccountably missing out on the historic lesson that even breadless (for many citizens of many societies) circuses serve to distract those masses as well as any religious ritual, so that those with power can continue their pursuits for good or (mostly) ill.

Changing the guard at FIFA, despite all the fuss surrounding the process, will have no positive effect - will do little or nothing to improve attitudes of either the haves or the have-nots of the world,

it seems - just the way changing the occupants of the behemoth seats at the IOC has improved nothing.

Thoughtful people should know that peace has no chance until all boots on the ground, including the pairs worn by those involved in the most popular, and money-driven, sports in the world, are less important than food and literacy and the environment.

The response around the world, particularly the wide world of sports to the most recent set of crises indicates priorities will not be changing any time soon.

• No local hockey for a full two weeks, in either of the area’s arenas!

Perhaps the BCHL and KIJHL schedule makers need a lesson in economics, or priorities. At least the Nitehawks, inasmuch as they are involved in, “Movember,” have one more home date this month. Smokies are away until Dec. 4.

Does the Virto V Replace Traditional Hearing Aids?

Whether at work, during conversations in small groups or when watching television, one in six adults experience problems when it comes to accurate speech comprehension and hearing in everyday situations. Although background noise and music can impair communication with friends and family, two thirds of those affected still do not use any hearing aids.

For some clients, the smaller design of the Virto V hearing aids might possibly replace the more traditional behind­the­ear hearing aids, and like many of our other products, these hearing aids can easily connect wirelessly with TVs and smartphones,” explains Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of the Swiss manufacturer Phonak.

See how the virtually invisible Virto V fits into your daily routine.

There are many reasons for this but for most people it’s that they are not convinced that hearing aids will significantly benefit them or it’s the unease they feel about attracting atten­ tion by wearing a visible hearing aid.

Virtual function of the ear

This is why the Swiss manufacturer Phonak has developed a world first: Virto V. These hearing aids are manu­ factured using a modern 3D printing process that provides a custom­fit miniature hearing aid that disappears into the ear canal, making it almost invisible to others. Despite its small size, the latest and most advanced Phonak hearing technology is still contained in the casing.

“Thanks to a new operating system, these new hearing aids can provide a virtual alternative for natural hearing, as experienced by people with normal hearing. Through intelligent control, the software can improve speech under­ standing, even in loud situations and by utilizing the 3D printing process, these hearing aids fit the natural anatomy of the ear as closely as possible making them truly a custom­fit solution.

Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of Swiss If you are interested in finding out more manufacturer Phonak, presents about these new hearing aids, the first step is to book hearing evaluation and the new Virto V hearing aids. determine if the new Virto V technol­ ogy is the right solution for you. For those who are hard of hearing, this can be particularly useful for finding out whether it is possible to hear and understand more clearly with discreet in­the­canal hearing solutions.

At Connect Hearing we offer you the chance to be among the first to try these state­of­the­art hearing aids.

Dear Annie: I would like to know why stores allow people to bring their pets inside. I have seen dogs sitting in the carts with their blankets as the owners push through the store. I often see one particular owner at the same store.

She appears to like the attention the dog brings, as she stands and talks a lot to anyone who passes.

My grandson is allergic to dogs and cats and would get quite sick if he were put in the same cart after an animal has been in it.

I have had many cats, dogs, pigs and horses over the years and have loved them all, but would never think to bring them into stores where they could cause someone else to suffer respiratory distress.

Maybe these pet owners don’t think about the people they could adversely affect. -- Please Leave Animals at Home Dear Home: Of course they don’t think about other people’s sensitivities. They are too focused on their own. Many stores now feel
