Councillor resigns; voters could head back to the polls in January BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
Montrose voters could be headed back to the polls in January following the resignation of Coun. Mark Reid. Reid handed in his letter of immediate withdrawal two weeks ago, citing outside commitments became too great to fulfill requirements of his role on the four-member council. With three years remaining in the municipal term, under the Local Government Act, the village is required to hold a byelection to fill the vacancy. Monday night council was the first reconvening of all members since the resignation, and the first order of business was to appoint a Chief Elections Officer (CEO)- a position accepted by Bryan Teasdale, Montrose’s chief administrative officer. Once the CEO is officially in place, a general voting day must be scheduled on a MARK Saturday, and within 80 days REID of the appointment. First, a notice of nomination has to be published, and that will begin Thursday and run for one week. The actual nomination period opens Dec. 1 and closes Dec. 11. If only one person steps forward, the position will be filled by acclamation. Conversely, if no one signs up, then a call for nominations must be repeated until someone steps up. However, if last year’s municipal election is any indication of interest, when seven residents ran for the four council seats, and two for mayor, Montrose voters could be casting ballots as early as Jan. 6. That Wednesday fulfills the required advanced voting opportunity, followed by General Voting Day on Jan. 16, and the winner announced by Jan. 18. “The schedule will work as it avoids significant election activity dates and possible conflict with the upcoming holiday season,” explained Teasdale.

Rossland man raises awareness, money to fight prostate cancer Paul Picard is not letting his incurable diagnosis bring him down BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff
Rossland's Paul Picard accepted death before he even found out he was dying of metastatic prostate cancer. But the 68-year-old doesn't count his incurable diagnosis as debilitating and instead is following a new mission of educating the public on the “misunderstood” cancer. “I'm a very blessed man in so many ways, so people at times find it funny

that I feel so lucky, but I'm dying of prostate cancer,” he said. “But this is just a bit of bad luck. It doesn’t erase all the good things and even the way I was introduced to my cancer was very special.” The avid skier's near-death experience on Grey Mountain back in 2014 actually led to a routine check up that determined his diagnosis. The fog was so thick that day he rode the new chair lift up to the mountain he normally toured. When he lost his bearings, he hunkered down for a long night ahead. “Eventually I had to spend the night at -12 C with totally drenched clothing, waiting for daylight and not know-
ing if I would live through the night,” he said. “There is a saying in touring, 'A wet skier is a dead skier.' I couldn't have been more wet than I was.” Twelve long hours of meditated breathing led to the acceptance of death and the realization that he wasn't afraid of dying. Today, Picard feels the same. “I tell people when you buy a lottery ticket, you hope you'll win but would you plan your retirement on winning the lottery?” he asked. “Yes, I hope for the best but I plan for the probable.” Picard is planning his end of life with his wife Louise in mind but also See ROUTINE, Page 4

16, Trail council will be tasked to decide how they will choose a winner and how the winner will be awarded. At an earlier governance meeting, Jolly suggested council members assemble a selected committee to narrow down to the top-three or top-10 submissions, then put those choices back for a public vote. “Those are options that can be decided later down the line,” she said, mentioning a committee of community representatives could be formed to make the final name decision. “But it is proposed that the public does contribute to the naming process.” During the meeting, council unanimously agreed with Jolly’s recommendation.

Deadline: 11am 1 day prior to publication.
Here’s hoping naming the new Trail bridge will be a piece of cake compared to the process of getting it built. After three-plus years of backand-forth between regional partners and eleventh-hour negotiations in September, the pipeline/pedestrian crossing officially broke ground two weeks ago. Beginning this week, the city is calling for citizens to “Name that Bridge.” Anyone with a naming idea has until Dec. 16 to submit a suggestion. The application is simple to fill out and available on the city's website or in hard copy at city hall. But with more than a century of Silver City history to pull from, there’s an abundance of pos-
sibilities to consider. That said, the city has stamped a few guidelines on forthcoming proposals. “The bridge will be a signature structure for our region and a huge attractant for our community,” says Andrea Jolly, City of Trail communication and events coordinator. “Its name should reflect the importance and prominence it will have in our region for years to come.” Along with the suggestion, participants must include the meaning of the proposed name, and answer “yes” or “no” if the proposed name will still have significance in 100-plus years. Additionally, each name must include a historical, cultural, or regional reference. After the close of business on Dec.

Hearts. Partner cannot pass and must bid his second longest suit. In this case, his hand is not strong enough for a reverse, so he cannot bid Two Spades. Instead, he must bid his better (longer) minor, Clubs. North has 5 to 9 HCP’s and passes partner at the two-level. The Play: West wants to lead a low trump because he has length and values in Hearts and he is afraid they will be ruffed out. South actually does not want to ruff Hearts because those are long hand ruffs which do not gain a trick while short hand ruffs do. However, there are two trump holdings, one never makes an opening lead from, a singleton or Qxx. Since West has the latter, he makes the natural lead of the Diamond Ace from Ace King. Partner plays the Diamond Six showing an even number, and West, suspecting declarer has a singleton, does not cash the King. Seeing the Club Ace and King in dummy, he switches to a low trump because he does not want declarer to get short-hand Diamond ruffs. Declarer wins the Club Ace and plays the Diamond Jack. He does not cash either Heart honour because he does not want the defenders making him ruff in the long trump hand. He will pitch a

Spade later. East does not cover so declarer lets it ride and West wins the King and leads another low trump. Declarer wins the Club King and places the Diamond Ten on the table and East ducks again. Declarer sluffs a heart and the Ten wins. He plays the Diamond Nine and East covers. Declarer ruffs with the last trump in dummy. He then cashes both Heart honours in his hand, pitching a Spade from Dummy. Declarer cashes the Spade Ace and ruffs a Spade and plays his good diamonds. West can ruff in when he wants. Declarer will lose no Spades, no Hearts, two Diamonds and one Club, making Two Clubs plus two for +130. Note: If South opened Two Diamonds, Flannery, North would not be so fortunate playing a major. So Forcing No Trump got South to the correct minor contract.

Hot water tank, announcer system stolen from Trail Horseman’s Grounds BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff
The Trail Horseman's Society will be tightening security measures following a rash of thefts at the riding grounds. The non-profit group is still in shock after discovering Sunday that the hot water tank in the clubhouse was stolen, along with diesel jerry cans, a microwave and an announcer system. The group can't host a horse show or large clinicians without a PA system and is scrambling for answers. “Someone went in there and drained the hot water tank, cut the tank and stole it,” said executive member and treasurer Margit Hinchcliffe. “We've always locked (the property) in the winter time so yesterday (Sunday) we decided that we'd have it locked all the time and should anybody want to go down and ride they're just going to have to contact one of the executives.” Theft and nuisance on the Waneta property has spiked at various points in the 25 years she has been a member but the big items being hauled off the property in more recent years is troubling and could severely impact the group. Before recent activity, wheelbarrows have been snatched up, along with other tools like pitchforks, hoses, wood shavings and even light bulbs from the barn. More recently, one culprit was so bold to remove a fence panel from a pen. “The users now don't have equipment to deal with day-to-day activity down there,” Hinchcliffe said. “The hot water tank and our announcer’s equipment will have to be replaced.” The groups has been in contact with the local RCMP but is also taking the investigation to the streets and online by checking out pawn shops and other buy and sell groups. “We just got our water system; we just got our well drilled because we've been without water for four years, so we were looking forward to have more events again,” she added. “We didn't think there was much value in there anyway; you know you kind of keep the
cess is still required to be carried out and as such, provisions have been made to include funds for general election expenses in 2015 and/or 2016.” Village costs are estimated to be about $1,500 if the seat is filled by acclamation (only one nomination)

and about $4,000 if the process does go to a January election. This is the first time a councillor has resigned early in a term, prompting a byelection, recalled Coun. Cindy Cook Monday night. She noted a number of years ago a seat was
vacated due to illness but it was late in the councillor term, so a byelection wasn’t required. “I hope that we get some communityminded people that want to step forward and help council move ahead,” said Montrose Mayor Joe Danchuk.

The grounds are used by the horse riding community for the most part but at times, dog walkers or kids “burning donuts” frequent the area. Previously, the gate was kept open so that people pulling trailers could easily access the property. “Your normal thefts or (break and enters) are stuff that is going to be marketable for people to sell or get rid of,” said Sgt. Darren Oelke of the Trail and Greater District Detachment. “Normally, the theft is occurring because somebody is doing it for drug money so they'll target flat screen TVs, generators, power equipment, or guns. “They'll target things that can flip and sell easily. So typically no, we don't get many thefts like that of random stuff like a water tank.” Anyone with information regarding these thefts, should call the Trail RCMP at 250-3642566 or reach out to club members via the Trail Horseman's Society's Facebook page.

Committee’s advice on doctor-assisted dying on hold while feds mull issue THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - Lawmakers in British Columbia have suspended a committee’s recommendations on physician-assisted dying while they wait for guidance from the new federal government. Health Minister Terry Lake says it only makes sense to see the direction that Justin Trudeau’s government takes after the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the law banning doctorassisted dying. The B.C. committee made up of New Democrat and Liberal members recommended that access to physician-assisted dying be available provincewide from care homes to hospices and palliative care. New Democrat committee member Judy Darcy says the suspension is an affront to the democratic process and that the committee’s difficult work has simply been bypassed. But Lake says it would be premature to jump into a policy when all the provinces have to work closely with physicians and the federal government to obey the law. The Supreme Court gave the federal government until February to change the law, and Lake says it’s unclear if Trudeau’s government will be asking for an extension to that deadline.

Routine checkup helped spot cancer
FROM PAGE 1 others who have been dealt the same fate. He has started up a Rossland/Trail support group, plans on lobbying for assisted dying and is also raising money and awareness of prostate cancer by growing a moustache for “Movember,” a charity event in November that has men growing and charting their commitment to “change the face of men’s health.” Prostate cancer is the development of cancer in the prostate. While most prostate cancers are slow growing, some like Picard’s grow relatively quickly. The cancer cells may spread from the prostate to other parts of the body, particularly the bones and lymph nodes. No symptoms may be detected early on,
but later stages of cancer can lead to difficulty urinating, blood in the urine or pain in the pelvis back or when urinating. Every year there are 24,000 men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer in Canada. It kills about 4,100 each year, according to the Canadian Cancer Society. If it wasn’t for that cold night, Picard would have never got the routine checkup that included a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) testing, where it was discovered that his normal evaluation of 3.6 ng/mL in 2012 had jumped dramatically to 300 ng/mL by March 2014. (Most healthy men have PSA levels under 4 nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL) of blood, and the chance of having prostate cancer goes
up as the PSA level goes up). The news was shocking for Picard, who lived a very healthy, active lifestyle. “I’m just the picture of health,” he said. “If people pick somebody they expect to live till they’re 100 years old, they pick me.” He began researching immediately, and a visit to the Trail library confirmed that there was not enough information out there on the cancer when he could not find one book but 12 on breast cancer. “Everybody said, ‘Oh prostate cancer, you’re lucky. It’s an easy cancer.’ Even the neurologist gave the same speech: ‘It’s slow moving,’” he recalled. “But not for me. I have 30-plus metastasis (spread outside the prostate gland) here,
and my PSA is 300. “I always did things my way, and suddenly I would be a slave, dependant upon a medical system, that has a life of its own,” he said of navigating the medical system after that. “I seriously thought of not even going for treatment because it was too frustrating.” He had to follow the system’s method of determining his cancer number, which started with a bone scan that “lit up like a Christmas tree.” Five week later, he had a biopsy and finally reached the oncologist department. But by that time his PSA reached 560. He has since completed a special drugtrial (Zytiga) out of Vancouver and taken a handful of other drugs to castrate his prostate

cancer. His PSA numbers tapered off dramatically but “no drug lasts forever” and his charts are showing an incline. Picard flips through pages of documented PSA numbers, which dictates his health plan. He has received five doses of radiation and more recently just had his first injection of Radium-223, a radioactive material seen as another form of calcium by the body. Without testosterone in his body, Picard finds himself waking in the night to a hot flash and the inability to fall back to sleep easily. But he is reminded of that cold snow bank he once lay awake in and comforted by his life and falls right back to sleep. Picard has nearly met his goal of $1,000 on Movember.com.

B.C. gets weather windfall for U.S. power exports BY TOM FLETCHER BC Local News
A warm winter and a dry spring and summer combined to produce a big jump in BC Hydro power exports this year. Electricity exports to the U.S. jumped by 73 per cent in the first eight months of 2015 compared to the same period last year, according to export data from Statistics Canada. BC Hydro says the warmer winter decreased residential customer demand for electricity in B.C., leaving enough water in the Columbia and Peace River reservoirs that their combined volume reached record highs by the end of March 2015. That
Early snow has ski hill operators optimistic THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER Winter is arriving on hills around British Columbia, raising hopes for ski operators worried about predictions of another warm, wet and green season. Nearly 30 centimetres of snow has blanketed the WhistlerBlackcomb resort north of Vancouver, while Big White, near Kelowna, says 29 centimetres fell there over the last 12 hours. Tw e n t y - t h r e e centimetres of snow has been recorded at Silver Star Mountain, near Vernon, while three centimetres of the white stuff dusted the Sun Peaks Resort, north of Kamloops. A skiff of snow has added a silver sheen to the trees of Mount Washington, on Vancouver Island, and even Vancouver’s North Shore mountains are boasting snowfalls of up to seven centimetres. A strong El Nino system is forecast for the West Coast this winter, with a soggy, warm system expected to bring less snow than usual to the Rockies and Alberta, with the possibility of early dumps of snow, especially on coastal mountains.
allowed for more generation from Mica dam on the Columbia River, which recently had a fifth and sixth turbine added to bring it up to maximum design capacity. “These exports also supported the management of the obligations under the Columbia
River Treaty, which provide for increased releases of water from the Canadian Columbia basin when the U.S. basin finds itself in severe drought conditions, as it did in the spring and summer of 2015,” said BC Hydro spokesperson Simi Heer. “Ultimately,
the increased release meant additional generation at Mica, which resulted in more energy available for export.” The Columbia River Treaty was signed by Canada and the U.S. in 1964, and its flood control mandate is set to expire in 2024.
Energy Minister Bill Bennett has argued that the treaty should be renewed with an increased annual payment from the U.S., to reflect the value of controlling the river on the Canadian side for flood control and irrigation for agriculture in Washington
state. The increase in electricity sales was a bright spot for B.C. exports, the value of which fell 22.2 per cent from January to August, due mainly to falling natural gas prices. Electricity prices also fell during that
period, so the 73 per cent increase in exports resulted in only a 32.2 per cent increase in value. Decreases in gas and electricity prices are related to greatly increased shale gas production in the U.S., which is used for power production as well as heating fuel. APPENDIX B to Order G-169-15

Youth vote gave Harper the boot
L
ooking back now, it really did end on Monday night, Oct. 19. As soon as Stephen Harper walked off the stage at the Calgary Convention Centre, it was if a giant storm cell lifted and blew away. Ten years of incremental dismantling of Liberal legislation and policy stopped in its tracks. Ten years of progressive muffling of Conservative caucus questioning – let alone dissent or critical thinking – dissipated completely. Ten years of sequential media stifling, and forced cowing and fawning to Conservative aides collapsed. Ten years of the learned, and somehow presumed permanence, of the PMO (Prime Minister’s Office) and its principal tenant required immediate unlearning. The reign of the wicked warlock of the west had come to an Oz-like end. All week, journalists, assorted academics, and political pundits have been musing about the
same set of questions: Why did we assume the Harper government was so disciplined? Why did so many play by its fundamentally flawed and undemocratic rules? And why did so many young and first time voters rally to the cause of hopeful change? In the end, it was those young voters and not the so-called ‘strategic voters’, who engineered the Liberal win, based upon an historic 68.3 per cent voter turnout. In the absence of the old PM and his PMO guard, the likes of Jason Kenney and Michelle Rempel are musing openly about the negative impact of a very negative campaign, the need for more experienced women in the Conservative Party leadership, and the role of young GenXers and Millennials in the political process. The mainstream media have been having a field day with public criticisms of Jenni Byrne as Conservative campaign senior strategist. Kellie

ROBINSON Troy Media
Leitch and Chris Alexander have been vilified for their televised role as launchers of the Barbaric Cultural Practices hotline. Its appearance was immediately coincident with the fall of what initially seemed to be Conservative ‘niqab momentum’ in Quebec and the West. Only two weeks ago, the bickering and anger now openly expressed among Conservatives would have been an anathema. It would appear that Stephen Harper’s leadership was central to party discipline because, in his absence, it barely exists. In his concession speech
on election night, he said that the Conservative loss was his loss. He is probably correct. The sheer speed with which party discipline dissolved after he left is perhaps the best clue to his now unfortunate legacy: the decade long maintenance of what Conrad Black recently characterized as the dictatorial rule of a “sadistic Victorian schoolmaster.” Canadians need to ask what it is in our political nature that enabled this behaviour. Why did we put up with it? Perhaps the clues lie in the voters who ended the rule, and the prime beneficiary of the change: youth and Justin Trudeau. The young who voted in such large numbers have the most recent experience of school and teachers, and the new PM is, in fact, a teacher by profession. Perhaps, to them, he represents teachers who were motivational and who stood for the possibility of positive change. It doesn’t hurt that he is supremely fit, urbane,
easy to look at, and that his family lives his values. Could it be that the Stephen Harper decade was enabled by fear? Certainly, our ‘first past the post’ electoral system enables a minority to act as if it were a majority. In this way a 30 per cent hard core of Conservative Canadian voters have long had their way over the rest of us. This conservative base yearns for the ‘old stock’ pleasures and certainties of their youth: the family farm, occasional work in the oil patch, Caucasian neighbours, old time religion, F-150s with big internal combustion engines, and print media. Unfortunately, for them and the Conservative party, their days are coming to an end. The politics of division and fear will follow them down the same road.

Medical system frustrating
It saddens us all that Trudi Toews has no choice but to close Selkirk Family Medicine early December. It has thousands of families, seniors and individuals struggling to find a new local physician. Where might this be found? Yes, I realize they are doing their best. Our medical system frus-

adds. The privacy commissioner expressed concern two years ago that drones - some as small as birds or insects - could evade Canadian privacy law as people begin using the increasingly affordable aircraft to spy on others. Drones can be outfitted with high-powered zoom lenses, night-vision or infrared-imaging systems, and video software that can recognize specific people, events or objects and flag movements or changes in routine. These features demand an emphasis on personal protection in regulations and licensing standards, the commissioner’s office says in its submission to the advisory council. “We believe strong technical safeguards and operating procedures need to acknowledge privacy risks quite plainly.” Unmanned aerial vehicles are used for a wide range of government-related and commercial applications including agricultural surveys, cinematography, police investigations, meteorology, and search and rescue. The privacy commissioner says while federal officials have already flagged difficulties with flying too close to airports for safety reasons, advisory council members should also give thought to privacy concerns. “Residential areas, schoolyards and shelters, hospitals and prisons, places of worship

and memorial sites - all come to mind as spaces which, while perhaps public, carry with them some expectation of privacy when people use them,” says the submission. The office would not recommend “an outright prohibition” on drone usage in these areas, but wants the council to consider a best-practices approach to such personal spaces. “Just as we would anticipate organizations concerned about their own security would be alarmed by sudden increases in the use of UAVs around their property, we would expect citizens could be similarly concerned if certain spaces were encroached upon.” The commissioner’s office also advocates some means of identifying the operator of a drone - possibly through a licence plate, painted number or electronic signal - to help the complaint process when problems arise. “Just as automobiles and boats on public roads and waterways carry readily identifiable markings, if UAVs are going to operate in public airspace, (Transport Canada) must consider some manner of system to provide for their identification,” the submission says. After sifting through the initial feedback to the advisory council, Transport will publish proposed regulations and seek additional input before finalizing them next year.

Regulate prying eyes in the sky THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The federal government should consider restricting the use of small camera-equipped drones near “sensitive and protected” areas such as residential neighbourhoods, schoolyards and prisons, says the federal privacy czar. In a submission to Transport Canada, the office of privacy commissioner Daniel Therrien also calls for some means to “readily identify” operators of the flying devices, given their powerful surveillance capabilities. Next year the government plans to introduce regulatory requirements for small drones - weighing 25 kilograms or less - operated within visual line of sight. A notice published by the federal Canadian Aviation Regulations Advisory Council says the coming regulations will build on the regime already in place for larger drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A growing number of people are flying aircraft that have no pilot and can be controlled using a smartphone or tablet - a “new and rapidly evolving industry” that creates regulatory challenges for safety and privacy, the notice points out. There have been several reports of reckless and negligent drone use and, since 2010, Transport Canada has launched 50 investigations, the notice

Female pilot’s career took off from Castlegar BY CHELSEA NOVAK Castlegar News
Air Canada’s first female pilot got her wings in Castlegar. Judy Cameron became the first woman to fly for Air Canada on April 10, 1978. Thirty-seven years later, she’s now retired and received an Elsie MacGill Northern Lights Award, which honours women’s contributions to aviation and aerospace, in October. Looking back on her days at Selkirk College, Cameron says it wasn’t until later she understood what a challenging environment she learned to fly in. “I didn’t realize it until much later, when I came back to do a speech ... at the college, probably ... 21 years later, and I was surprised to see how big the mountains were and how the airport was kind of nestled against the mountains,” she said. “When you learn to fly in an environment like that you don’t realize how challenging it is, I think, until you come back to it.” While the terrain may have challenging, interacting with her instructors as the only female student was not. “I found that they treated me just the same as the guys. Actually it was pretty forward thinking for back in 1973/1974,” she said. “None of the instructors singled me out or made me feel in any way shape or form that I was any less than the guys that were in the course.” Cameron was in a class with 30 young men, which she said was a bit difficult. “There were no other females in the course to commiserate with. I didn’t have an aviation background. I hadn’t always wanted to fly from the time I was little, so I felt like I was a little behind the eight ball, catching up,” she said. “I wasn’t mechanically minded.... I didn’t really have the background some of the fellas did, so that was difficult, and of course there were practical jokes.” Cameron decided she wanted to fly after she was hired by Transport Canada to do a general aircraft movement survey after her first year of university. One of the pilots she was surveying invited her to go flying with him, and she was hooked. “I was thrilled and excited, and did all
Judy Cameron was the first female Air Castlegar. kinds of things that I wasn’t supposed to see on my first flight,” she said. “He did things like a spin and a stall, and said lets see a pencil float from the front of the airplane to the back.” Cameron wanted to be an airline pilot, but when she first finished school the airlines were’t hiring, so for three years she worked for smaller companies. She was still one month away from turning 24 when she was hired by Air Canada and had to face a rush of media. “I had my baptism by fire at Montreal at the Dorval Airport, when I was surrounded by probably, I don’t know, 15 or 20 reporters and people from various media, including television, trying to interview me and it was somewhat overwhelming,” she says. Over three decades later, Cameron can now point to three highlights in her career. “My first highlight would be my first solo right at the Castlegar Airport, the first time I flew in a small airplane by myself,” she said. The second was when she received her captain’s wings. “The fellow that was doing the check ride on me got the in-charge flight attendant to bring up a tray with a cup of tea and beside the cup of tea was a set of captain’s wings.” Finally, her last flight as captain of the Boeing 777, from Munich to Toronto. “I had my husband, my oldest daughter on board, and a few friends,” she says. “When we landed, first of all, all

Canada pilot, and she learned to fly in the way across Canada various air traffic controllers were saying ‘Congratulations on your last flight.’ When we landed in Toronto the airport firefighters came out and gave a water cannon salute, which means they sprayed both sides of the triple-7.... When I got to the bridge, to my surprise, once the door opened there were 20 female Air Canada pilots in uniform greeting me.” Many women have followed in Cameron’s footsteps since that day in 1978, but women still only account for less than 5 per cent of commercial airline pilots worldwide. Cameron encourages other women to pursue careers in aviation and recommends that anyone interested in entering the industry look up two groups online for more information: the Ninety-Nines and the Canadian Women in Aviation. She used to recommend the same Selkirk College course she took, and was disappointed when the program was discontinued. “I really enjoyed the course at Selkirk College. It was an excellent course,” she says. “One of the saddest moments in my life was to find out that the course was no longer being continued.” Cameron credits the course and her instructor at Selkirk College with her success. “I retired with about 23,000 hours, thirty-seven years with the airline, and I owe it all to Selkirk College. I’ll never forget my instructors and that aviation course.”

Be a flu fighter - protect yourself and those around you SUBMITTED Interior Health is gearing up to help protect children, pregnant women, seniors, people with chronic illnesses and others who are most at risk from influenza and its complications. In a typical influenza season, thousands of Canadians develop serious illness or even die from influenza or its complications. The flu shot is a safe and effective way to help people stay healthy, prevent illness and save lives. “Many people incorrectly use the term “flu” to refer to any illness caused by a virus, such as the stomach flu or the common cold. “However, influenza tends to be more severe. Influenza reduces the body’s ability to fight illnesses and infections and it can

also increase a person’s risk for developing other serious conditions, including viral or bacterial pneumonia,” said Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi, Medical Health Officer. “Getting a flu shot and washing your hands frequently are the two most effective ways to protect yourself and others from influenza and its complications.” The flu shot provides protection from the influenza virus strains expected to be circulating this season based on trends worldwide. This year’s flu shot offers protection against two influenza A viruses (an H1N1 and an H3N2 virus) and one influenza B virus. For those under 18, the preferred vaccine also protects against an additional B influenza virus.

The J. L. Crowe Hawks beat rival L. V. Rogers Bombers of Nelson 1-0 in the early match of the provincial AA soccer qualifying tournament at Crowe Field on Friday, but couldn’t quite pull off the upset over Invermere’s David Thompson Secondary falling to the Lakers 2-0 in the final.
Lakers pull off late victory over Hawks BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
The J.L. Crowe Hawks senior boys soccer team pushed the Kootenay region’s defending champion David Thompson Secondary School Lakers to the limit, before suffering a 2-0 loss at Crowe Field on Friday in the Provincial AA qualifying soccer tournament. “They (Crowe) played their hearts out,” said Hawks soccer coach Neil Moon. “But full credit to Columbia Valley they played a great game. Two crackers for goals so give them credit.” Number-3 seeded Crowe delivered a suffocating defensive performance in shutting out second seed L.V. Rogers of Nelson, 1-0, on an early marker

from Roberto Torres in the opening match Friday. The win propelled the Hawks into the final against the number-1 seed Lakers from Invermere, who beat fourth seed Selkirk Secondary, 3-0, in their opening match. “I think we spent too much energy in that game (against Nelson),” said Moon. “We just didn’t have enough in the final and that cold rain this morning really saps, but they played through it.” The cold, wet, and blustery conditions wrecked havoc on the pitch and the players. But the Hawks played even with last year’s regional representative through the first half. Each team generated chances, but the highlight came midway

through the half when Crowe goalie Sean Hogarth made backto-back point-blank saves to keep the game scoreless. Invermere came out with a determined attack in the second half. With less than 10 minutes to play, leftcenter forward Chase Striegel finally beat Hogarth with a vicious strike from outside the box for what would stand up as the winning goal. Then, with less than three minutes remaining, Valentin Fisher blasted a free kick from 20-yards out into the top corner to seal the victory and book Invermere’s return to the B.C. AA Soccer Championship. “I’m very happy, the game was just phenomenal,” said
David Thompson coach Jurgen Striegel. “It could have gone either way. Trail played phenomenal, and it’s always great when we play them, it’s a very physical game and at the end we were just a little more lucky.” Moon’s teams have faced rival coach Striegel of Columbia Valley for the past 10-years, both in the Kootenay South Youth Soccer Association (KSYSA) and at the high school level. But for Moon, this game was different. It marked the end of his coaching days in the Kootenays, at least for now, as the Fruitvale native gets set to relocate to Edmonton this week. “It would have been nice to get this team to the provincials but you know what, soccer is
alive and well at Crowe high again,” said Moon. “It’s been a lot of years . . . but we’ve had a chance to re-ignite it and I think they have a good future again.” Moon has been a tireless supporter of local soccer, coaching at every level, and leading his KSYSA boys select teams to unprecedented success at the provincial championships during that time. “I’m very sad to be leaving,” added Moon. “I’ve had two provincial bronze medals at the select level, and second place isn’t so bad here – it’s been great and what a good bunch of kids.” David Thompson Secondary School will play in the provincial tournament Nov. 23-25 in Burnaby.
BY TIMES CORRESPONDENT It’s not exactly Kramer vs Kramer, but, all the same, marital bliss withstood a vigorous test this past week in Kootenay Savings Super League action at the Trail Curling Club. The night saw only one game go the distance and it was Heather Nichol’s team facing husband Myron Nichol’s foursome in a compelling couples tilt. Skip Myron had the men leading early, scoring two with the hammer in the first and a steal of two in the second. Heather’s third, Lori Karn, executed a perfect hit-and-roll behind cover in the third to set up a three for the ladies, then a steal of one tied the game at 4-4 after four ends. Myron blanked the fifth, and was forced to score one in the sixth, before stealing single points in the seventh, eighth and ninth ends to give the men some breathing room. Down four coming home, Heather Nichol couldn’t generate guards, settling for a draw to the four-foot with her last rock, and an 8-5 Myron Nichol win. Team VanYzerloo had Team Fines behind the eight-ball right out of the gate, catching onto the swinging ice to steal the first three ends. Skip Ken Fines made a clutch draw in the fourth and stole two in the fifth to cut the lead to 8-3. VanYzerloo came right back with two in the sixth leading to an 11-4 thrashing. Team Albo played one of their best games of the year, with constant pressure against Team Umpherville, scoring deuces in the first, second and fourth ends for an early 6-1 advantage. After blanking the fifth, Skip Justin watched his last rock in the sixth slide too far for another Albo steal. After trading singles in the next two ends, Umpherville shook hands on an 8-2 Albo victory. After stealing singles in the first two ends, Team Corvus Construction lost their intensity for an end, and Team Beauchamp jumped all over it, putting up a big four in the third. Skip Horning got his team to regain their focus, answering with a large four of their own to lead 6-4 after four. With his team down three in the seventh, Skip Russ Beauchamp ramped up his usual aggressive play calling, only to see his last rock double attempt pick, giving Corvus Construction a steal of two, and a 10-6 win after eight to remain unbeaten.

Solid recruiting buoys Quinnipiac Bobcats ECAC HOCKEY It’s been a familiar storyline for Quinnipiac over the last several years. The Bobcats have lost some notable players in each of the last three summers, yet seem to shrug off those departures and still remain a national contender. That seems to be shaping up again this season, as a home sweep of then-No. 9 St. Cloud State Huskies last weekend pushed Quinnipiac’s record to 6-0, the program’s best start since the 1998-99 season.

St. Denis leads Bobcats FROM PAGE 10 “We’ve had good recruiting classes the last eight, nine, even 1years,” Bobcats coach Rand Pecknold said of Quinnipiac’s ability to overcome the program’s notable departures over the last few off-seasons, which included the graduation of Montrose natives Connor and Kellen Jones. Pecknold credited associate head coaches Bill Riga and Reid Cashman for the program’s recruiting, saying that Quinnipiac looks for high-character, high-compete players who fit the team’s identity. He said the first part is getting harder to find, as many players are more interested in scoring highlightreel goals and getting media attention. But screening the goalie, taking a hit to make a play and blocking shots can have rewards, too. Many of the Bobcats’ top players the last few years were excellent shot blockers, something that had a trickle-down effect on the rest of the team. “It’s one thing to tell them how to do it; it’s another thing to see them do it,” Pecknold said. “Basically, we’re looking for a lot of selfless players.” Cashman has been a regular component of Champions Hockey School run in Trail by Terry Jones and sons Connor and Kellen. Cashman’s and Pecknold’s association with Greater Trail resulted in the recruiting of assistant captain Travis St. Denis, who leads the team in scoring, as well as former Trail Smoke Eaters and first year freshmen Craig Martin and Scott Davidson.

The Bobcats have plenty of skill, as evidenced by junior defenseman Devon Toews’ breakaway goal against Maine last week. Toews has been one of the Bobcats’ best players in the early going, along with senior forward St. Denis, who is tied for second in the nation with six goals. While the topend talent is there, Pecknold said this is the first time since the 2012-13 Frozen Four season that he and his staff are able to play four lines consistently, adding that the Bobcats had been more of a three-line team since that season. St. Denis has scored four of his six goals in the last two games, and Davidson tallied his first as a Bobcat in a 5-2 win over St. Cloud on Oct. 23, while Martin has two assists in four games played this season. It also helps that senior Michael Garteig is off to a hot start in goal. In his third year as a starter, Garteig often has been overshadowed by other goalies in the league, including Yale’s Alex Lyon, and a Quinnipiac system that is driven
by puck possession and high shot totals. Garteig, a former Penticton Vee, has been solid in that span, but has posted a .947 save percentage thus far this season, including a career-high 41 saves Saturday. The sweep of the Huskies catapulted Quinnipiac into number-1 spot in the PairWise Rankings, and up to number-4 from 9th in the USA Today poll. Down 2-0 on Friday, the Bobcats came back to win 5-2. “That showed we can come back on any team,” Pecknold said. And on Saturday, Quinnipiac led 2-1 despite getting outplayed for much of the first two periods. “It was a mostly amateur moment on our part,” Pecknold added. “It was our third game in five nights. You can’t fake passion and we didn’t have it for the first two periods, but we regrouped and played very well in the third.” The Bobcats play their first divisional games this weekend when the take on ECAC rivals Colgate and Cornell on Friday and Saturday.

2015 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.
Dear Annie: I have been married to “Bruno” for 40 years. During this time, I have found his various porn magazines hidden in multiple places. My reaction has always been to throw them away and not mention it. A few months ago, I again found his stash, but this time I left them where he had them hidden. I have discovered that he takes the magazines out to look at the women every time I leave the house. Every single time! I feel like he is cheating on me. It’s very disturbing. Bruno is otherwise a great guy, but that doesn’t make his actions acceptable to me. Evidently, he is never going to stop this behavior and I don’t think I can live with it. Now what? -- Not Good Enough Dear Enough: For 40 years, you’ve put up with this. Now that you know Bruno is looking at the pictures more frequently than you suspected, you are ready to call it a day. What did you think he was doing with those magazines?
