Petition aims to fight Pend D’Oreille proposal Proposal wants to limit motorized access in the valley BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

Residents are taking a stand against a proposal that limits motorized access in the Pend D’Oreille valley. A petition against the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources’ Access Management Area (AMA) plan is garnering interest from some locals who are stepping forward as the “undersigned.” Proposed changes to Kootenay Boundary’s regional access management program were presented at a stakeholder meeting turn public last month. Members of the ministry pitched that the road closures 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 conservation properties and promoted the spread of invasive plants throughout the valley. Also, it was noted, decreasing numbers of mule and whitetail deer have prompted the government to propose this action.

Valley Firearms is one of the Trail locations asking customers to consider signing a petition that rejects a proposal that limits motorized access in the Pend D'Oreille valley. John Urquhart Jr. said there hasn't been enough public consultation and the draft plan presented by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources is flawed. The petition suggests protection can be accomplished by returning the existing hunting seasons to what they used to be or creating a new limited

entry hunting seasons for all ungulates and introducing specific road closures in habitat areas considered sensitive. About 270 people had

signed the online petition at change.org by Thursday afternoon while others continue to add their names to hard copies set up at various places like Teck and Valley

Firearms throughout the Trail area. “I want that wildlife resource to be there for years, I grew up in the Pend D’Oreille,” said John Urquhart Jr. of Valley Firearms, who is also a landowner in the Pend D’Oreille. But his beef, along with others, rests mostly on the lack of public consultation. The draft proposal notes that a meeting was held on March 11 in Trail for some initial discussions on offroad vehicle recreation, the conservation properties and sensitive wildlife habitat in the Pend D’Oreille valley. In attendance was BC Hydro, Trail Wildlife Association (TWA), Teck, Village of Fruitvale, Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources (FLNR) representatives, Beaver Mountain Snowmobile Association, West Kootenay ATV club and ATV B.C. Following the meeting, a public open house was held at the entrance of the Pend D’Oreille on March 28, hosted by TWA, FLNR, and ATV B.C. But this is not enough, according to former TWA member Rick Haines. “The main thing here See PETITIONER Page 3

This year was all about the bears, and it isn’t over yet. Bruins are still around seeking food before they curl up in their dens, says the local community coordinator for WildSafe BC. “Sightings have settled down from where they were the beginning of October,” explained Sharon Wieder. “But given how poor the natural food source was this summer, they’ll probably still be going well into November or until we get some significant snow fall.” Typically, bears den in the higher elevations when food supply becomes scarce and remain there until snow melts and food starts to grow in early spring, she added. “It’s an interesting pattern, and the last few years we had a bubble of activity in June.” Black bear sightings began earlier than usual this year, Wieder noted. Following a quiet period in June and July, sows and cubs were frequently sighted in urban areas throughout late summer and fall. “It was definitely an atypical year,” she said. “We had a fair bit of bear activity in

the spring which is not normal, and then mid-August things kind of exploded again.” WildSafeBC documented the spike in local bear calls. According to the organization’s data, 47 bear reports from the Rossland/Trail area came in August compared to three in 2014. September’s call volume more than doubled to 76 from 33 last year, then October slowed down with 45 reports compared to 41 in 2014. Sadly, fewer call outs last month could be related to number of bears killed rather than their return to natural habitat, says WildSafe BC’s provincial coordinator, Frank Ritcey. “What happens is they (bears habituating urban areas) are destroyed once a level of conflict is reached and the bears become a safety concern.” WildSafe couldn’t confirm how many bears were killed since spring, but Wieder says the number is much higher than last year. “I don’t have specifics, and bears have been killed in the last few weeks,” she added, mentioning reports of “wildlife in trap” means a destroyed bear. “But in general, it’s safe to say the number of bears destroyed is triple

Elsa Santarossa snapped a pic of a bear that has frequented her Warfield neighbourhood for the last three years. She hasn't seen the bear for a number of weeks and was upset to learn the passive bruin was destroyed by a conservation officer. WildSafe BC couldn't provide specifics, but confirmed in the last few weeks, bears have been destroyed locally. that of last year.” The hot and dry summer decimated natural forage early, Wieder explained, noting garbage and garden odours drew a high number of bears to residential neighbourhoods. “They are attracted to the smell of leftover food,” she pointed out. “And part of the reason so many bears were in town, and a big one we highlighted this year, is the fruit trees are super loaded. If people don’t manage them, it’s a great attractant.” Even though bears will soon be in hibernation, people should

be thinking about next year and ways they can better manage refuse and bountiful produce. “Anytime between now and next spring is a great time to get trees pruned and make them more manageable,” she said. “Or if you don’t want them – take the trees out. Same goes with grapes, because we had lots of reports about that this year, which was unusual.” The bottom line is food keeps the bears around urban areas, so it there’s nothing to eat, they’ll go away. “People should talk to their neighbours who maybe aren’t as

thoughtful about it,” Wieder suggested. “If they don’t clean the mess up then you are going to have a bear in your yard as well.” She maintains the WildSafe BC message about eliminating attractants is getting out to the masses, and backs that up by the increased calls for information about bear resistant garbage cans. And she has sage advice for local wildlife observers. “Sure it’s fun to watch the bears,” Wieder said. “But if they are too used to people – then it’s a sure death sentence.”

LOCAL Familiar pattern to October weather BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Local weather roundups are beginning to sound like a broken record this year, after another month was reported warmer and drier than normal. October's trend of mainly clear skies and warm days set a new record of 10.5 C for the month's mean temperature. That's almost three degrees above the average October, but only slightly ahead of the old record, 10.4 C which was set in 2014. Southerly flows brought mild and windy days during the second week, with the highest temperature, 21.9 C, on Oct. 10 and gusts averaging 52 kilometres/hour. A dry airmass followed the third week, allowing temperatures to dip to a month low, or -2.5 C during the early morning hours of Oct. 23. The coldest October day on record was recorded 13 years ago, when mercury dipped to -11 C on Oct. 31. A Pacific frontal pattern came on the heels of that system, but produced only 0.3 millimetres (mm) of rain locally. Right until the end, the month was on pace for receiving less than 15 per cent of normal precipitation. During the final week of October, a series of Pacific systems brought in another 34 mm of rain. That upped the month's total precipitation to 39 mm, or about 79 per cent of the norm. Usually October rainfall nears 50 mm.

Petitioner upset at lack of consultation

FROM PAGE 1 is that the Trail Wildlife Association went ahead and whether they spearheaded it or not is not known yet,” he said. “But they didn’t ask any of their membership how they felt about this, and they put Trail Wildlife’s backing on the proposal. “I joined the Trail Wildlife so I could have a voice, so I could speak up against things like this and have a say and they took my voice and used it for something that I totally don’t back,” he added. “I bet 95 per cent of the Trail Wildlife Association, maybe more, would not have backed that proposal.” Haines has pulled his membership as a result and is trying to put the brakes on the proposal. He helped Bob Wishneski write the petition and is working on getting a list of the members of TWA in hopes of calling a meeting to oust

executive members because of the lack of consultation with the 450 members that make up TWA. TWA refrained from commenting until it has its executive meeting, set for Nov. 9. “The issue at hand is nobody was told about this, and it was slid through behind a closed door meeting, where we weren’t even invited,” he said, noting the most recent stakeholder meeting. The stakeholder meeting was planned as an opportunity for a NEW” . couple representatives from different groups connected to the land to take a look at the first draft and provide input. Then TWA was going to host its public meeting, which Haines suggested should have taken place ahead of time. Comments were collected at this meeting for consideration before the second draft is sent to Victoria, which then posts all

Costs were too high for Rossland FROM PAGE 1 Valley. The city had to be mindful of this given what has been accomplished in these two agreements.” Trail reached a 66-month deal with Warfield (worth $631,500 over the life of the agreement) in May and a oneyear deal with Beaver Valley (worth $125,000) in August. According to the City of Rossland press release, Trail offered Rossland a two-year deal for $90,000 per year while Rossland countered with an offer of $50,000 per year with a cost of living percentage increase for three years. Rossland Mayor Kathy Moore said the cost proved

too prohibitive. “In the end we just couldn’t afford what Trail was requesting. Rossland already spends 15 per cent of our annual budget on our own recreational facilities and programs. We have other basic critical needs that must be addressed.” Despite not reaching an agreement, Moore said both sides negotiated in a friendly and open manner. “Unfortunately our two councils were unable to come to an agreement for recreation but the negotiations were friendly to the end. “Both sides are still eager to work together on other shared challenges. Hopefully

in the future all of the local governments in our area can find a lasting solution to the recreation issue.” The Rossland press release said its council decided that the original offer to Trail could be used to fund a reimbursement program to residents for access to Trail’s facilities. Details of the program will be announced in the near future. In the meantime, the Trail Resident Program will remain in effect with Trail council stating in its press release that it will “continue to consider specific interest groups to try and mitigate community impact.”

gov.bc.ca/pub/ahte/. But Haines fears this will be too late. In his mind, the solution should be simple. “If there’s not enough deer, shut down deer hunting,” he said. “If there is not enough elk, shut down elk hunting. If there’s too much dust coming from the roads

and invasive plants are being spread, don’t make any more roads. “I have a hard time believing that we (ATV community) have a greater impact than logging in there, and logging won’t be given any stricter rules inside that AMA then they do outside it,” he added.

Brothers reunited in Nakusp after almost six decades BY JILLIAN TRAINOR Arrow Lakes News

When John Van der Kroft left Holland in the summer of 1957, he had no idea it would be 58 years until he would see his brother again. At the age of 21, he had just finished his mandatory two-year stint in the military, and decided to immigrate. “I had my choices. I could go to Africa, or New Zealand, or Australia, but I picked Canada,” he said. “I had some relatives in Bowness, Alberta. They had to more or less cosign for me.”

From Bowness, he gradually made his way from Alberta to British Columbia, eventually making it to Nakusp. He and his brother Arthur tried to keep in contact over the years, but life moves pretty fast. Both men were busy raising their families. While John had immigrated to Canada, Arthur stayed behind in Holland, Working in construction, building high-rises. Gradually, they fell out of contact. Their children however, did not. John’s youngest son, David, and Arthur’s two daughters, Anita and Diana,

hatched a plan to reunite the pair. Anita and Diana contacted a group in Holland called Love in the Air. You can make a wish, and the group tries to turn that wish into a reality. “My daughters wrote a letter to ‘Love in the Air’— he came to us, and he asked me ‘I heard you have a brother in Canada, will you see him?’” said Arthur. “I said ‘Of course I will see him.’ He said, ‘Tuesday, go to airplane to Toronto.” From Toronto, Arthur and his wife, Lean, flew to

Vancouver. From there, they took a helicopter ride to Nakusp, where they arrived on Oct.16. The way Love in the Air works, is that plans involving a wish have to remain a secret. If anyone spills the beans about what’s going on, the wish is cancelled. John was in for quite a shock. Around one o’clock on Oct. 16, there was a knock on his door. David was there with his wife Dawn, a paramedic in Castlegar. They told him to answer the door. Standing outside was a reporter and two

Arthur Van der Kroft embraces his brother John. The brothers were reunited after spending nearly 60 years apart. Members of their families set up the surprise reunion for the two when they contacted Love In The Air, a program in Holland which allows loved ones to be reunited. In order for for the event to go through, it had to be kept quiet. Arthur and his wife Lean headed back to Holland on Thursday. men. One of the men asked John if he would be surprised to know his brother was outside. “I went outside, and there he was, standing down the street. I didn’t recognize him at first,” he said. “He started walking, and I started walking, I figured I might as well meet him halfway. My blood pressure went up and everything just exploded.” Arthur tried to describe what the meeting was like for him. “You cannot describe it,” he said. “Tears, and emotion. It was nice. It was very nice.” There was a slight drawback. After speaking English for so many years, John lost a lot of his Dutch. While John doesn’t speak much Dutch, Arthur doesn’t speak much English. His wife Lean doesn’t speak it at all. When they talk to each other, it’s mainly

Dutch, with a little bit of English here and there. “I can read it, but I have a hard time speaking it,” said John. “I can’t make up a sentence like ‘How’s the weather today?’” The pair has spent much time together over the last few weeks. “I took him up the mountains for a drive, looking for bears,” said John. “For four days, he stayed in Castlegar with David. He took him out fishing, that’s about it.” They also spent time catching up, talking about when they were little, about girls, and life in Holland after WWII. One thing they don’t talk about is the war itself. John was three years old when the war broke out. Arthur was only one. “We had seen people dropping dead on the sidewalks, starving to death,” said John. “Those are things you don’t want to remem-

ber.” For Arthur, one thing worth remembering from this trip is how great it’s been being able to meet his extended family. John has six children, fourteen grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. This is probably going to be the last time the two brothers will ever see each other. John is 79. Arthur is 77, and neither one can afford the trip to visit. This trip would not have been possible if the tickets weren’t already paid for. “It’s breaking my heart when I must leave.” said Arthur. While something like this may never happen again, the pair is grateful they had the chance to see each other once more. Arthur and Lean flew back to Holland on Thursday. “I’ll never forget this,” Arthur said. “Never.”

One-in-50-million delivery of identical triplets THE CANADIAN PRESS KAMLOOPS, B.C. - Identical triplets have been born in Kamloops, B.C., something doctors say happens once in every 50 million births. Mahalia and Mike Meeuwsen of Salmon Arm welcomed their three baby girls on Tuesday at Royal Inland Hospital. They were expected to make their debut on Nov. 16 but complications with the pregnancy meant a

scheduled caesarean section had to be done earlier. The triplets were conceived naturally without the use of fertility drugs. Mom and all the babies, who were born about eight weeks premature, are said to be doing well. The infants are expected to remain in the neonatal intensive care unit for some time and there is no word yet on their names.

NATIONAL

Liberals reinstating long-form census THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA -- The new Liberal government is making good on a promise to resurrect the mandatory, longform census killed off by the Conservatives, but is vague on the details of how it plans to persuade Canadians to fill it out. The long-form component of the 2011 questionnaire was axed by Stephen Harper’s government, which called it intrusive to threaten people with fines and jail time for not answering personal questions -- a nod to the party’s libertarian base. The Conservatives replaced the longform census with the National Household

Survey. The response rate declined from 93.5 per cent in 2006 to 68.6 per cent in 2011. The new Liberal government, however, is giving priority to evidence-based decision-making instead of ideology, said Navdeep Bains, the minister of innovation, science and economic development. “Today, Canadians are reclaiming their right to accurate and more reliable information,” Bains told a news conference. But neither Bains nor Social Development Minister Jean-Yves Duclos would discuss specific consequences or penalties which might be imposed to ensure the

ONTARIO

Pan Am Games within $2.4-billion budget THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The Ontario government says this summer’s Pan Am and Parapan Am Games came within the $2.4-billion budget. Both the province and the TO2015 organizing committee say they found tens of millions of dollars in savings compared with their March budget projections, which estimated the final cost of the Games to be upwards of $2.5 billion. The government says the final tally will be determined after all invoices are reconciled and audited statements have been prepared. The committee had previously reported a $56-million surplus in capital expenses and Minister of Sport Michael Coteau predicted there would also be a surplus on the operations side. Executives with the organizing committee have been told they will split $5.7 million in bonuses if the Games come in under budget. Ontario’s auditor general will also conduct a financial audit of the Games but will not rule on the bonuses issue. Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk has told the public accounts committee her financial audit would not determine who should get a bonus, but would provide the facts in order for others to make the decision.

mandatory questionnaire is filled out. Some groups have been shown to be less likely to fill out the forms, including indigenous Canadians and low-income earners. “The law is the law” and the law has not changed, said Bains. He said the government plans to roll out a “robust communications plan” to ensure people know it’s no longer an option to choose not to fill out the form. The Statistics Act refers to a census of population and to a $500 fine or threemonth jail term (or both) if a person refuses to fill in forms they are required to complete. In 2014, Toronto resident Janet Churnin was given a conditional discharge and 50 hours of community service for refusing to fill out the 2011 short

form. The decision to do away with the mandatory long-form census met a wave of criticism in 2010, from a wide range of voices. Religious groups, municipal planners, economists, the Federation of Francophone and Acadian Communities and aboriginal organizations were among those who petitioned for its return. “Municipal governments -- big and small, urban and rural -- rely on the Canadian census and Statistics Canada data to effectively respond to and monitor the changing needs of our cities and communities,” said Raymond Louie, president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. “The loss of the long-form census resulted in the loss of vital data about some

of our most vulnerable populations and left significant gaps in access to data for Canada’s rural and remote communities.” Former chief statistician Munir Sheikh resigned over the census debacle, after then-industry minister Tony Clement publicly suggested that bureaucrats supported the idea of a voluntary survey as an adequate replacement for the mandatory questionnaire. On Thursday, Clement said that in hindsight, a more thorough examination of how to reform the census process might have been prudent. “Looking back on it, I would say that it would have been better to have a much broader review of data collection in our country and come up with a better system,” Clement said.

Conservatives choose Ambrose as interim leader to replace Harper THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA The federal Conservatives have chosen Alberta MP Rona Ambrose as their interim replacement for former leader Stephen Harper. “I’m excited that we are going to be moving forward with a strong opposition with confidence and optimism,” the former health minister said following a lengthy caucus meeting Thursday. “I am extremely proud to be the new leader of the Opposition.” There were eight candidates in total for the post, which comes with an extra $80,100 in salary, a car and driver and the residence of the official leader of the Opposition - Stornoway. They included Alberta MP Mike Lake; Diane Finley, Rob Nicholson and Erin O’Toole from Ontario; and Manitoba’s Candice Bergen.

Calgary MP Michelle Rempel and Quebec’s Denis Lebel ran on a joint ticket. A key political task ahead of Ambrose will be to rebuild the party heading into the eventual formal leadership race, likely still a long way off. The Conservatives saw their support collapse in last month’s election, losing every seat they held in Atlantic Canada, a lone outpost in the north, dozens of ridings in Ontario and even a few in their stronghold of Alberta. Ambrose said she’s confident the party can enter a new era with a new tone and a new attitude, with their sights set on the next election in 2019. “My colleagues chose me and they put their trust in me,” she said. “We feel very optimistic about our chances in the next election.”

Salmo council gets positive status report

ith approximately 10 months in office, Council received a status report at the October 13, 2015 regular Council meeting. Chief Administrative Officer Diane Kalen-Sukra presented a report and presentation that compared actions and projects completed against those proposed by Salmo council. Overall the report is very positive. On implementing a policy of open government, we have brought back public question period, held town hall meetings and for the first time ever released items from closed meetings to the public. We have implemented the Auditor’s recommendations from as far back as 2012. This includes introducing timesheets for employees and tracking

employee leaves such as vacation and sick leave. Further, we have made information easier to access and ensured that Council minutes are signed, filed and stored correctly. We have also complied with the Auditor’s recommendation and filed our Financial Plan and audited financial statements fully and on time. We have introduced a modern classification system for files and implemented a new records management system including keeping files in a secure location. All incoming mail and calls are now logged to ensure consistent follow up on action items. Council agendas now include the resolutions to be voted on and our Village website has been revised to include easier access and more information. We continue to encour-

The introduction of best practices in procurement have been made including the down payment on our new Fast Attack fire vehicle. Most exciting, we obtained over $160,000 in new grants with another $100,000 applied for.

ask any questions about “health ministry policies and practices related to research, contracting and data-management, the circumstances of any privacy breach or inappropriate data access, and decisions made following the terminations in the context of settlement of grievances and legal claims.” Questions on the weather might elicit a response. Then it’s timing. In February 2013, Clark asked her deputy minister, John Dyble, to conduct a review of the multicultural outreach plan to ensure that everything had been on the up and up. It wasn’t. But in what has to be a government record for investigatory turnaround, Dyble released his report on March 14 at 11:45 a.m. At 5:48 p.m., the Speaker rose in the legislature to announce: “This House stands adjourned until further notice.” No more question periods before the May 14 election. As if to rub one more grain in, Dyble then administered the coup de grâce: the 10,000 pages of records his team reviewed would be released “within 60 working days.” No one would see a redacted page until the votes were cast and counted. This week, the government announced it had hired former privacy commissioner David Loukidelis to conduct a review of deletegate. His report is expected just in time for Christmas. It will undoubtedly touch on all the technical aspects to the scandal, but it’s unlikely to address the most important: Liberal Research Director Jen Wizinsky’s admonishment to Tim Duncan, “you do whatever it takes to win.” That speaks to a culture. Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC.

Honour refugee pledge, but get it right An editorial from the Toronto Star Here’s a thought. Every senior bureaucrat in Canada’s immigration, foreign affairs and defence ministries should tape a picture of the drowned Syrian toddler, Alan Kurdi, next to his or her computer screen, as a reminder of the incoming Liberal government’s most urgent moral challenge. Canada’s honour is on the line here. This will set the tone for this country’s renewed engagement on the world scene. That said, the logistics of taking in so many refugees is daunting. Trudeau proposes to take in 10 times as many as Harper did. That’s no small pledge. There are security, health

and ID checks to be done, although the new Liberal government should err, if err it must, on the side of humanity. Officials need to transport and house the newcomers. Tent camps may work in the Middle East, but not here in the dead of winter. Beyond that, refugee support groups need to mobilize and ensure that families get a good start. And willing employers need to lend a hand, training and hiring. All this will take a huge, coordinated effort. With the New Year fast approaching the Liberals are rightly sticking by their commitment to resettle 25,000 people. But it’s unrealistic to expect that the new government can get the job done in seven weeks after so much delay.

A far more realistic goal, comparable to our resettlement of 60,000 Southeast Asian “boat people” over 18 months in the 1970s, would be to bring in the Syrians at the rate of a few thousand a month over the next eight months or a year. Reversing the Conservatives’ callous, years-long indifference toward the Syrian crisis can’t be managed in just a few weeks. The key thing is to get a more compassionate program rolling. That should be Trudeau’s goal. The commitment of 25,000 must stand. As for the timing, Canada should make haste, carefully. Syria’s refugees have been through enough. They should find sanctuary here, and a better life, not more uncertainty and distress.

here are many reasons a small business may fail. That likely is no surprise, but what may come as a surprise is that some fail because they are actually successful. Entrepreneurs succeeding sometimes let their success control and lead them, rather than choosing to lead their business. Unfortunately today’s good news is not necessarily tomorrow’s – just because things are going well now is no guarantee it will continue. Some big picture insight may help put things in perspective. According to Industry Canada, in 2012 there were 1.08 million small businesses - defined by having at least one employee in addition to the owner but fewer than 99 employees. And how are upstart businesses fairing?

ness, my suggestion is to have a business plan. “Failing to plan is planning to fail” is a truism, but ironically “truism” is defined as knowledge that is so commonplace it is often ignored or even perceived as meaningless. Writing things down creates clear commitment therefore increasing the odds of completion and, by default, success, so put pen to paper. The planning process requires research and, just as importantly, honesty. Question everything. Identify strengths and weaknesses of the business and of oneself. Define opportunities and threats within the marketplace and the economy. Doing this means the business owner can make informed decisions and set realistic goals. Although the process may appear complex, it actually isn’t when broken down into steps. Good info and guidance are online. There is the option of working with a professional be open-minded but remember, maintain ownership of the vision. In the end, a business plan includes the marketing plan (product, price, promotion, unique selling proposition, competition), the operations plan (people, production, equipment, facilities), and the finance plan (at least a three year projection). So the business plan is in hand. What’s next? – Implementation, evaluation, and more than likely, adjustment as time passes. In actual fact, the term “business plan” is a misnomer. What in fact has been learned and developed is “business planning” – a never ending organic process mapping the path to business success.

Smokies set out to sink Clippers St. Denis earns NCAA HOCKEY

BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

The Trail Smoke Eaters hope to give the Nanaimo Clippers a rude welcoming when the BCHL’s Island division team docks their ship at the Cominco Arena tonight. The Clippers are 11-7-0-0 this season and sit in second place, a point behind the Cowichan Valley Capitals in Island division hierarchy. “Their 20-year-olds are definitely a strong group and I think they’ve added some pretty good pieces,” said Trail coach and GM Nick Deschenes. “They’ve been kind of hot and cold but they’re slowly separating themselves from that pack.” Nanaimo is coming off a split with Alberni Valley last weekend, and their stop in Trail is the first of a three-game road swing through the Interior division, as they’ll face Penticton Vees on Saturday and West Kelowna Warriors on Sunday. “It’s tough,” Clippers goalie, Jonathan Reinhart told the Nanaimo News Bulletin. “It’s long bus rides and you’re not in your normal environment; it makes it difficult. But we kind of just have to bear down and, if we have to, grind out three games.” Reinhart has seen the majority of the action for the Clips, registering nine wins in 13 starts, a 2.61 goals against average, and a .915 save percentage. Trail’s offensive output, meanwhile, has been inconsistent this season. The Smoke Eaters have scored five or more goals five times, while scoring two or less in eight matches. The Smokies struck for 10 goals in two games against

More than a dozen freshly shaved Trail Smoke Eaters and coaches teamed up with the Canadian Cancer Society for it’s annual Growvember Campaign. The Smokies will wear yellow arm bands at tonight’s game and invite fans to wear yellow to show their support in fighting cancer. Funds raised from the under-12 toonie admission and puck toss will go to the Canadian Cancer Society. Merritt two weeks ago, but most recently tallied just three goals on 91 shots in a pair of losses against Vernon and Penticton last weekend. “It is frustrating,” said Smokies assistant captain Kurt Black. “I think we need to come together as a team and try to figure this out, but we do have a good team here for sure.” Trail has four very capable lines, and scoring production is spread relatively evenly throughout with seven players in double digits. Trail’s top scorer, Nick Halloran, has seven goals and 17 points, compared to Sheldon Rempal for Nanaimo with 16 goals and 36 points. However, much of the Clippers’ offensive production comes from one basket. Nanaimo has just four skaters with double-digit points, although, three of those players are in the top-10 in league scoring. Clarkson commit Rempal, former OHLer

Matt Hoover (15-1126), and Quebec native Devin Brosseau (7-1724) have combined for 38 goals in 18 games, for over half the team’s total output of 71. “I think they are a team we can take advantage of,” said Black. “They have a good first line but if we limit that, I think we have a good chance. Use our speed, get shots on net, and just bear down.” The Clippers have scored 20 more goals than the Smokies this year, albeit in an arguably weaker division. Still, Trail will have to find a way to improve their goal-to-shot ratio if they hope to vie for a playoff spot in March. “We just have to get shots through from the point, and bearing down on our chances in front would be big,” said Black. “I think we all have talent, we just have to bring it every game.” Black, a 20-year-old, three-year BCHL veteran, has stepped up

as one of the leaders on the Smokies since coming over from the Chilliwack Chiefs this summer as the last piece of the Scott Davidson trade. Black had a great start with the Smokies, netting seven points in four games, and after an eight game pointless streak, he is back on track with four points in his last five matches. The Winfield native also played for the Beaver Valley Nitehawks in 2012-13 and is happy to be back in Greater Trail. “I had a good experience in Junior B, so it’s good to be back in Trail, the fans, I love it here and it’s a good hockey town.” The Smoke Eaters will hit the road for a Saturday night tilt in Merritt to play the Centennials. The Smokies have taken 2-of-3 from the Cents this year, including a 5-4 victory the last time they met in Merritt, in which the Smokies were down 4-1 in the

third period, but made a dramatic comeback to win it in overtime. The game is in ‘must win’ territory for a Smoke Eater team that trails Merritt by one point in the Interior division standings, and is seven back of Vernon for the final playoff spot. “We think we have a group here, based on what we’ve seen in our division, that can be competitive and can fight for a playoff spot,” said Deshenes. “Every game we play, we have to try to come up with two points, it doesn’t matter who we are playing.” Smoke signals: Show your support in fighting cancer by wearing yellow to tonight’s game and help the Smokies raise funds by donating to the Smokies Growvember campaign.

The Quinnipiac Bobcat forward led all ECAC skaters in goals (6), goals per game (1), as well as two-goal games (2). St. Denis opened the season with a two-assist night in a 5-3 win at Holy Cross before scoring his first goal of the year against the Crusaders on the following night in the Bobcats’ home opener. The former Trail Smoke Eater scored his next time out in a 5-0 win against Arizona State. Last week, St. Denis capped the month with back-to-back two-goal games in a twogame sweep of No. 9 St. Cloud State to capture ECAC Hockey Player of the Week honors. The college senior scored 15 goals and 33 points last season for the Bobcats and was third in scoring behind Sam Anas (39) and Matthew Peca (36). St. Denis has 40 goals and 44 assists in 125 games at Quinnipiac. Michael Garteig, a former Penticton Vee, was voted as the league’s Goaltender of the Month, while Evan Tironese, from Rensselaer earned Rookie of the Month honors.

Hawks host Bruins Saturday

BY TIMES STAFF The Beaver Valley Nitehawks will try to get back in the win column after picking up just one point in an Okanagan swing last weekend. The Hawks are now tied with Castlegar for top spot in the Neil Murdoch division after dropping a 5-3 game to the Kelowna Chiefs last Friday, then tying the North Okanagan Knights 3-3 on Saturday. Both teams have 27 points, although the Hawks have played one less game than the Rebels. Beaver Valley travels to Spokane to take on the Braves on Friday, then returns home Saturday to host the Grand Forks Border Bruins. The Hawks beat the Braves handily in a 6-2 win Oct. 13, but suffered one of their three losses to Spokane in a 2-1 decision on Oct. 3. With goalie Drake Poirier out of the line up, the Hawks picked up goalie Billy Gorn from Campbell River to join Trail native Jason Mailhiot as the B.V. tandem. The Bruins meanwhile have won two of their last three games, including a 7-3 win over the Golden Rockets on Saturday. Led by a three-goal performance from Dylan Haney, and a five-point game from newly acquired Jordan Robertson, who has seven points in three games, the much improved team is in fourth spot in the Murdoch division with a 6-11-0-2 record. Game time is 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Beaver Valley Arena.

WORLD CUP OF HOCKEY

Gardener St

ran No St

Bo w s St er

A10 www.trailtimes.ca

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - For all the coaching choices Canadian general manager Doug Armstrong had, he went back to the man with the two Olympic gold medals. Mike Babcock was the “logical choice” to be Canada’s coach at the return of the World Cup in 2016 because of his success in Vancouver and Sochi. “Mike has the ability to be able to bring a group together quickly. He’s done it obviously at the world championships, he’s done it at the Olympics,” Armstrong said Thursday at a news conference announcing the coaching staff. “I think his record obviously speaks for itself.” Babcock led Canada to gold medals at the 1997 world junior championships, 2004 world championships and then the 2010 and 2014 Olympics. The current Toronto Maple Leafs coach won the Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings in 2008. But Joel Quenneville of the Chicago Blackhawks, with three Cups in six years on his resume, also garnered significant consideration. Quenneville will be an assistant on Babcock’s staff but could’ve easily been the head coach. “It was a two-horse race for me,” Armstrong said. “I wasn’t torn on the final decision, but I thought we had to give Joel Quenneville the opportunity for us to discuss him. You just can’t get past three Stanley Cups in six years.”

Knowing Babcock wouldn’t work as well as Quenneville’s assistant, Armstrong was glad to have those coaches working together along with Claude Julien of the Boston Bruins, Barry Trotz of the Washington Capitals and Bill Peters of the Carolina Hurricanes. Julien returns from Babcock’s staff in Sochi, while Quenneville, Trotz and Peters are newcomers. Quenneville will run Canada’s defence, Trotz and Julien will focus on special teams and Peters will be in charge of pre-scouting like Ralph Krueger was at the Olympics. “We’re going to have a great staff, there’s no question about it, but so will the other teams,” Babcock said. “They’re all going to have great players. I think as we put on the uniform in Canada that we’re going to win. It doesn’t work like that. The preparation has to be equal to the opportunity.” Babcock’s ability to prepare players for a short tournament gave him the edge. Armstrong said he talked to several players from the Olympic teams and they raved about the Saskatoon native’s smart game plan and ability to implement it quickly. The World Cup of Hockey takes place Sept. 17-Oct. 1 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto and includes Canada, the United States, Sweden, Finland, Russia, the Czech Republic, Team Europe and the 23-and-under Team North America. Each team must name a 16-man roster by March 1 and then the rest by June 1. Training camps are expected to take place in early September.

We will know, before the Dec. 20 Christmas break, whether the promising-looking Smoke Eaters have a shot at a playoff spot, or will be shopping players around the league early in the new year. It is easy being optimistic watching the Smokies play with, if not stay with, a top dog like the Vees. Easy to think that level of compete might result in wins over lesser - and everybody else in the BCHL is lesser than Penticton - competition. Easy to think it, not so easy to accomplish it. The hard, disciplined effort we saw Sunday needs to appear, from minute one on game night, every night, starting tonight, from now on if the Smoke Eaters are to climb towards a playoff position for the first time in a while. They are fun to watch, and I am still hopeful, although each hard-earned ‘L’ depresses that outlook just a little. • Remember to remember on Wednesday. Two quiet minutes at 11 a.m. are little enough to sacrifice on behalf of those who sacrificed much, even all, to maintain that opportunity for us.

RELIGION

New tolerance is intolerance in disguise

“

I am intolerant of intolerance” has become something of a mantra for suppressing unpopular opinions. Today’s “new tolerance”, as it is called in academic circles, is redefining our understanding of tolerance and shaping our behavior, but it is no friend to the freedoms of conscience and speech. In the past, we used to “agree to disagree”. It was a respectful way to end debates before they degenerated into personal and hateful attacks. We used to define tolerance in the phrase, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” New tolerance demands that we accept the most dominant view of an issue. If we disagree or reject that view, the dominant group accuses us of bigotry. It cannot countenance our intolerance; LOUISE we must be muzzled. This is especially evident when it comes to Everyday Theology issues around sexuality and gender. The no-platform movement that is taking hold of western universities is the poster child of new tolerance. The movement, which denies speakers a platform, fosters intolerant behavior in its misguided attempt to protect democracy and equality. Notable feminist Germaine Greer is the latest fatality of the no-platform movement. Greer was to lecture on “Women and Power: Lessons of the 20th Century” at Cardiff University in Wales. Twenty seven hundred students signed a petition that accused her of misogyny and inciting hate and violence against transgender people. Greer’s unspeakable crime was to say that she does not think “a post-operative transgendered man is a woman”. But, others required her to think differently in exchange for the privilege of speaking. New tolerance is evident in other places as well. In Canada, two national parties require all candidates to be pro-choice. A person who questions abortion must want to limit a woman’s right to choose; that person has no place in government. Trinity Western University requires students and staff to sign a covenant agreement with a clause that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. The institution must be discriminating against LGBTQ people; it must not be allowed a law school. It is no longer enough to treat people with the respect and dignity that all individuals – gay, trans or straight – deserve. We must now accept the most popular views and believe what the most vocal group tells us to believe. Tolerance does not come easily or naturally to us. It requires practice. We need to be careful that our concern for one group does not express itself as intolerance for someone else; that we do not become violent, hateful or self-righteous in the name of tolerance. If we are serious about the freedoms of conscience and speech, we cannot bully or exclude others when their opinion goes against the grain. Rejecting an opinion is not the same thing as rejecting a person or discriminating against a group. New tolerance is a form of intolerance in disguise.

Trail & District Churches The Light of Obedience Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105 I was walking in a big box sports store recently and was amazed to see the section devoted to flashlights - everything from mini to king-size. The one thing they all had in common was their candlepower. All of them were bright, some of them advertising the ability to light up objects over half a mile away. The technology of these lights is getting better all the time, a far cry from the hand held oil lamps in biblical times. Those lights might have been able to light up an object a meter away. The psalmist wrote that God’s Word was a lamp to his feet and a light to his path. The Israelite believed that God’s Word was something to be obeyed. When we obey God’s Word where we stand today, His Word will give us direction for the next move we should make. In other words, there is no need to see half a mile down life’s path if we are not going to obey and take the one step God has already made clear. If you are seeking direction for your life, obey what God has shown you today, and when you look back, you’ll realize that God has illuminated the entire way.

Dear Annie: My 28-year-old son, “Jack,” was married six weeks ago. He and his bride have known each other since high school, so I thought I knew her pretty well. Her parents paid for the majority of the wedding, and during the planning, I made myself available for any task that came my way, offering to take care of many odds and ends. My three best friends gave the bride an elaborate shower at my home. My brother volunteered to become certified to perform the ceremony and they eagerly accepted. It was a destination wedding, so we all had to set aside a few days for the event. My husband and I went there two days early to help set up and to assist in any way possible without butting in too much. Everything was going well until the day after the wedding, when the bride stopped all communication with me. Before then, she would call and text, and often ask to get together to do fun things. She even asked for my opinion. Now, noth-

In Memoriam

In Loving Memory Of

Bruna Rosemary Berisoff August 19, 1954 – November 6, 2013 On The Anniversary Of The Day You Went Away: Today is the anniversary Of the day we lost you, And for a time, it felt as though Our lives had ended too. But loss has taught us many things And now we face each day, With hope and happy memories, To help us on our way. And though we’re full of sadness That you’re no longer here, Your inﬂuence still guides us And we still feel you near. What we shared will never die It lives within our hearts, Bringing strength and comfort While we are apart. Love: Tom, Derek, Celina (& Families)

To my family, friends, co workers, community members, colleagues and former patients: Thank you for giving me such a wonderful and touching Retirement Party on October 25. I have no idea how this thank-you note can pay tribute to the tremendous effort that went into organizing that event. Nothing could have prepared me for such a spectacular evening; sharing stories, memories and most of all, a lot of laughs. A sea of faces. Each face telling me a story. So many faces, so many stories. How can I ever forget you and all the fantastic things you have done for me and the things we have shared in the last 40 plus years? I never dreamt that the Party could have involved so many people and in so many ways. My sincere thanks goes to everyone who attended and everyone who helped in anyway to make it happen. A special thanks to my “3 amigos” who shared the role of MC- Marnie, Jill and Margaret and to Jennifer for her devotion and organization. The generosity of spirit from everyone involved has truly, truly touched me. I am profoundly grateful. I will treasure the gifts, the flowers, the cards and well-wishes. Most of all, I am honoured to be recognized and acknowledged for my passion, contribution and commitment to addressing the health needs of mothers, babies and families in the Kootenay Boundary Region and beyond. I hold that tribute close to my heart. I appreciate all of you. Thank you to Cedric and our family for everything. Thank you to my colleagues, those at Selkirk Family Medicine and those at KBRH, the Robusters, my friends and patients for surrounding me with so much love and ongoing support throughout my career and my personal life. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Dr. Trudi Toews
