Tree sales signal countdown to Christmas Trail Kiwanis recruits Quebec trees for this year’s fundraiser SHERI REGNIER Trail Times
The Trail Kiwanis Christmas trees have a certain “je ne sais quoi” this year. After a hot and dry summer in B.C. the King of the Christmas tree varietals –Fraser and Balsam fir – are in short supply across the province this winter. So the local non-profit was forced to look east to Quebec for this season’s supply of premium tannenbaums – shipping in 400 arbres de Noël (French for Christmas tree), on sale now until Dec. 23 in Butler Park. “We try to get the best tree available for the best money,” says Brian Pipes, from the Trail Kiwanis.“We don’t have the selection like the past couple of years because the person we’ve been getting five different varieties from has gone out of business,” he said of the Slocan Valley arborist. “Having no irrigation, his trees really took a hit this summer because of the heat.” The East Kootenay supplier fared better through the drought, and like the past few years, has committed 500 free range alpine and Douglas fir trees for the Trail club to sell. No matter where the trees come from, Barbara and Arnold Klit have been one of the first in line for years,

now that we are in our 80s,” she added. “But no way would I have a plastic tree, tradition will always be a real tree even if it’s only two feet high.” She says it takes about an hour to

interest from the medical community over five years ago. Today, the second floor of the plaza has turned into a professional hub. “The ones who are here all say the same thing to me, ‘Thank goodness we are here,’” said MacDermid. “‘When we go home at night, we lock the door, and we don’t have to worry about air conditioning, snow clearing or whether the bathrooms are clean.’” Elite Physiotherapy is the newest business on the block. Owner David Abenante’s vision to provide care in a multi-disciplinary setting came
to fruition this August with a team of professionals complimenting his background in physiotherapy. “We are all locals, born or raised,” he said of registered massage therapist Sherelle Milburn and kinesiologist Francesca Cupello. He wanted to position the business in an area that would best serve the community and liked the turn-key aspect the location offered. “There is free parking, everything is wheelchair accessible,” he added. “It’s very easy for my clientele because a lot of them have crutches or are
in wheelchairs and it’s very simple for them to park out back and come down the walkway and right inside the door.” He also liked the idea of collaborating with others in the medical field beyond the walls of his business. Sharing a hallway with people like Dr. Blair Stanley is beneficial for his business and more importantly his patients. And good business for these professionals also means good business for the retail floor downstairs. CONTINUED ON PG. 3

Terrorism can happen anywhere, and the Kootenays had its share from the 1940s to 1970s. During those decades, a break-away Doukhobor sect, Sons of Freedom, were responsible for 1,112 separate acts of violence. The Freedomites bombed or burned schools, railroad bridges, rail tracks, the Nelson Court House, the Doukhobor museum in Castlegar, plus a huge power transmission tower that serviced the East Kootenay. In 1964, Vancouver Sun reporter Simma Holt published a tell-all book about the Sons of Freedom, called Terror in the Name of God. Holt risked her life while researching the book, which can still be found in most libraries. The following is a

Freedomite Boy Dies as Car Bomb Explodes Widow loses 16-year old son; four under arrest By Dennis Williams Editor, The Times CASTLEGAR: “Oh, my poor son! Oh God, my poor son!” A Sons of Freedom Doukhobor mother wept over the shattered remains of what once was her 16-yearold son in Frank Richardson’s morgue here this morning. Mrs. Mary Kootnikoff, widow of six years, identified from hair and clothing her son Harry, blown to pieces when a bomb exploded in a car about 11 p.m. Friday. “He’d come to town to buy a present for his cousin,” wept Harry’s mother. “She was just going to be married, and he came to get her a gift.” Then Mrs. Kootnikoff sang a little psalm in Russian and kissed what until last evening had been the top of a young face. “Is it Harry?” asked RCMP Sergeant John Betts, commander of the Castlegar detachment. “Is it Harry, your son? We must know.” Yes, said the stricken mother, examining bits of cloth and the hair. “This was my son.” Mrs. Kootnikoff had come into Castlegar this morning from Goose Creek, along with the fathers of two other young men RCMP say were riding in the car when the bomb went off. “Harry was so young,” cried the
father of John A. Evdokimoff. “I can’t think what they were up to.” Mr. Evdokimoff and Bill Golaeff, father of William J. Golaeff, viewed the mass on the table in Mr. Richardson’s morgue, trembled and burst into tears. “What a terrible thing for a mother to have to see,” wept Golaeff. “What can have happened? I can’t think.” Harry Kootnikoff was killed instantly when a bomb went off in a 1958 Chevrolet on Fifth Avenue in Kinnaird, almost at the intersection with Seventh Street. The blast shattered windows of nearby homes, scattered debris over hundreds of feet. This morning the car is under guard in the RCMP garage at Castlegar and being gone over by detectives with a fine tooth comb. Police want to know what sort of a bomb it was. In hospital under arrest and guarded by about six constables are young Evdokimoff and Golaeff, both of Goose Creek, and George W. Postnikoff, of Brilliant, all in good condition. Also in hospital in serious condition is Peter F. Salikin, also of Goose Creek. Salikin is suffering serious head injuries, including a fractured jaw. Evdokimoff, Golaeff and Postnikoff all have head injuries and facial lacerations . . .

Seeing their children, now their grandchildren hanging baubles passed down generation to generation marks the start of Christmas in the Klit home. But another customary festivity comes at no cost smiling for the camera. “It’s a tradition, because when you get older you can look back if you have pictures,” said Barbara. “And it’s also so the grandkids can remember they helped nan and grandpa put ornaments on the tree. Especially the special ones that were our kids first ornaments.” Barbara says the timing of putting up a Christmas tree is another important part of the family holiday. “I’ve seen a few trees up in November,” she explained. “I think that’s a bit early, then it’s a long stretch until Christmas,” Barbara said. “It wasn’t like that back in our
Trail Times
Yes, Virginia there is a shortage of Christmas trees in B.C. this year. Invasive insects, lack of seedlings and the failing loonie are just a few reasons local tree growers are having to stretch their reach to Eastern Canada. Ripples in the system are catching up to tree growers, says Tim Loewen from Pine Meadows Tree Farms. Loewen is a second generation grower on the family-owned and operated nursery and tree farm. Located in Chilliwack, the farm is the usual supplier of homegrown trees for the Trail Kiwanis Christmas tree sale - but not this year. Instead the premium Balsam and Fraser firs are coming from Eastern Canada. “Perhaps the biggest factor… is the restriction placed on us as growers in B.C. is where we can purchase our seedlings,” he says. Loewen was referring to a 1980’s agreement that in efforts to protect provincial forests against the
Balsam Woolly Adelgid (BWA), B.C. tree growers have to source true firs within the province. BWAs are small wingless insect from Europe, that infests and kill firs, especially Balsam fir and Fraser fir. “I agree it is a good idea to protect our forests, however, this restriction was perhaps not implemented with all factors considered,” he said. “There have been various changes and closings of seedling nurseries in our province and this have greatly disrupted the availability of seedlings, especially to the Christmas tree market,” Loewen added. “We are a very small percentage compared to reforestation programs therefore they get the trees first.” Neighbours to the south are also experiencing a tree shortfall, which affects the seasonal Canadian business. “We have never had enough trees to supply our own market, but it didn’t matter because they came from our other local areas that happen to be in the USA, ” he continued.
With West Coast American trees running in short supply, and the weakened Canadian dollar, the cost to import trees is too high for most customers, says Loewen. Drought is another impact that down the road, could affect growing trees and limit Christmas tannebaums. “Most of the damage we suffered (this summer) was on small trees that were just planted this spring,” said Loewen. “That may surface in four to five years in another shortage locally.” But all is not lost for Trail Kiwanis annual Christmas tree fundraiser because Loewen and the club’s compromise works for everyone, including people who still like to decorate the real deal. “The past number of years they (Kiwanis) have bought their trees from our farm directly,” Loewen explained. “This year they still purchased the trees from our farm but we sourced from Quebec,” he added. “They were brought from Quebec because there was a great desire to maintain Canadian product in that market. We respect that we found a solution that worked.”

We had a shorter time for the anticipation and then we’d be so excited, so I think decorating 10 days before Christmas is reasonable, then you really appreciate it.” The annual Kiwanis Christmas tree fundraiser officially opens today (Friday) at the East Trail park, and runs Monday to Thursday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday until 8 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Money raised helps support over 30 charities and non-profit organizations in Greater Trail, and is dispersed in bursaries to many of the area’s graduating students. “It is our major fundraiser and we wouldn’t be able to support the community without the Christmas tree sales,” said Pipes, the club’s director. “The money gets passed around and goes to all the charities Kiwanis supports. “I would go as far as to say that there is not a person or family in this town that has not benefited some way through the donations from Christmas tree sales, whether it is family or friends or someone they know.” The Kiwanis Club will also have a spot for food hamper donations and Pipes encourages anyone who has a bit extra to bring some food for needy families.

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Patients from all over the region are making appointments with an opthamologist, chiropractor, surgeon, doctor and more, said MacDermid, who points to room for four or five more offices upstairs. Downstairs there is still space for a new big box store, where the former Zellers used to be, and a void to fill where Raves Restaurant was situated. There has been some interest in both these spaces; she said, with the latter receiving bites from the Mr. Mike’s franchise. But in the meantime there is a new buzz in the mall with RossVegas and Champion Lakes Golf Club opening up shop for the season, kicking off holiday shopping with more variety. Waneta Plaza moves to holiday hours Dec. 10 when it’s open Monday-Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Last-minute shoppers can still check out what’s in store Dec. 24 from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. or hit the Boxing Day sales from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. “I’m sure the low dollar helps people stay home and support their neighbours, which is great,” said MacDermid. “But the second floor really does draw to the shopping centre itself.”

Fruitvale homicide case in Rossland court SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
A local homicide case is being heard for a second week in Rossland Supreme Court. Jordan Shimell, 25, is charged with one count of murder under section 235 of the Criminal Code of Canada following the Dec. 28, 2014 death of a Fruitvale man. Greater Trail officers were called to a Fruitvale home that Sunday at 9:51 p.m. with
reports of a man suffering serious, life-threatening injuries. The victim, Scott Decembrini, was rushed to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. Police said Shimell and Decembrini, 52, were known to each other but further details have not released pending trial, including the cause or manner of death. Shimell has remained in
police custody since his arrest at the scene, and earlier this year, plead ‘Not Guilty’ to the second degree murder charge. There is a publication ban on the court proceedings. Ken Wyllie is defending Shimell. Phillip Seagram, deputy regional crown counsel from Nelson is listed as crown counsel, and B.C. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher was presiding over the case on Thursday.
The case was moved to Rossland Supreme Court because offences under section 235 (1st or 2nd degree) are exclusive jurisdiction offences under section 469 and cannot be tried by a provincial court judge. When an accused is charged with any offence listed under 469, including 235, he will be remained into custody and may only be released by a superior court judge.
Board chair asks trustees to voice concerns VALERIE ROSSI Trail Times
“Point of order.” School District 20 trustees were reminded to use these words when they want to interrupt a speaker. Board chair Darryl Ganzert took time during a recent regular meeting to inform his peers that each
of them has a role in playing proper decorum at the board table. “There has been some criticism from trustees that as a chair I’m not forceful enough in stopping trustees from saying hurtful things to other trustees and maybe I’m being a bit aggressive at the board table,” he told the Trail Times.
He reminded the board that there are nine members but when a decision is made the group becomes one, and that he can’t always anticipate feelings. “If you believe I made a wrong ruling, that’s your right as an individual to challenge that ruling, I welcome that,” he continued, “It’s not an insult to
me at all.” “Point of order,” trustee Mark Wilson interrupted. “My reason for calling a point of order is that you gave us a full outline and I appreciate what you did but I think that we’re all adults here and if somebody has feelings that are offended that they should be able to stand up and speak out.”

LOCAL Model train passion fuels popular display at Waneta Plaza SHERI REGNIER Trail Times
Sheri Regnier photos
Born and raised in Rossland, Bob Flegel, a founding member of the Golden City Railway Modellers, has a keen interest in trains and the history of the town. The group’s detailed replica of Rossland and the railroad that chugged through, is on display alongside seasonal 3D vignettes at Waneta Plaza.
Playing second fiddle to Lego is palatable as long as it means young minds are jumping on board the modelling train. “Right now, model trains seem to be a grey-haired hobby,” says Jerry Schmidt from the Golden City Railway Modellers. “So we are trying to keep younger people involved, that’s why we are having this Lego contest,” he added. “That’s what gets the younger people involved and started with models.” Besides hosting an annual Lego building contest in the Waneta Plaza, the local club draws attention from the younger generation year round with its detailed replica of Rossland during the railroad heydays. “The kids love it the first time they see it, and it makes a good babysitter for dads, when the moms are out shopping,” chuckled Bob Flegel, one of the club’s founders. “But a lot of people are still finding out about our spot in the mall.” It took plenty of research over four years, steady hands and occasionally a magnifying glass before retirees Bob Flegel and Don Young finished the historical model of Rossland and the trains that chugged through town until the 1950s. Since completing the Alpine City replica in 2010, the model has travelled to Edmonton and Kamloops twice, Calgary, and up the hill to Rossland three times for the city’s fall fair. “In Edmonton we won second place twice,” said Flegel. “Lego won first, some of those models are really something to see. But wherever we take it, people love it and it has also won the popular vote.” The local club was formed in 2006 when Flegel and Don Young combined interests in all aspects of model train building. They hoped, “if you build it they will come,” when they started con-
struction on a scale model of the city and the trains that chugged between Second and Third Avenue. “An idea was born,” said Flegel, “We’d been to a number of model railroad conventions and saw what they did and said we can do this.” The modellers began construction of the Rossland replica in the back room of a Rossland wine shop. By 2009, business and space became an issue and the project was ready move. That’s when Linda McDiarmid, Waneta Mall manager, stepped in and made them an offer to use the empty space next to the children’s ballroom. Since then, the club meets twice a week in the food court to shoot the breeze and maintain the display that is open to the public Wednesday and Saturday 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. “I am a train guy and travelled across Canada, the States and Europe four times even in Malaysia, I rode the trains,” said threeyear member Henry Fleming. “I came down
the mall one day and was talked into joining the railway club. “There’s a row of chairs (in food court) down the side called the
BS section and workers bees everywhere else,” he chuckled. “And it’s been great to get together because we all have something in common.”

An editorial from the Toronto Star As mad scrambles go, the Syrian refugee rescue plan that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has just rolled out is a little less crazy than advertised, and a lot more scripted. And that’s just fine. Canadian immigration experts were skeptical from the get-go about Trudeau’s bid to one-up his political rivals in the heat of the election campaign by vowing to grant 25,000 Syrians asylum by year’s end. And the public made it clear they expected the government to deliver on the substance of the promise, but to take the time to get it right rather than rush. That Trudeau has taken that message on board reflects well on his willingness to heed sound advice and be flexible. Canadians learned on
Tuesday that Ottawa now intends to bring in a first wave of 10,000 by year’s end, not 25,000. The remaining 15,000 will follow in the first two months of next year. Another 10,000 or more are expected to arrive later next year. If all goes as planned, we can expect to take in 35,000 or more government- and privately sponsored refugees in the coming year. Trudeau and his new government will reap the credit for an act of empathy that will rebrand Canada as a compassionate nation on the world scene, prepared to marshal its military and other resources to help ease the world’s greatest humanitarian crisis. And there’s every reason to expect it will go well. Host provinces and cities will have more time to lay out the welcome mat, and to rotate
groups of refugees from temporary accommodation into permanent quarters, to make room for the next wave. Despite the delay in fulfilling its pledge, the Trudeau government deserves credit for showing a degree of compassion that was utterly foreign to its Conservative predecessor. It also deserves the benefit of the doubt as the first wave of refugees begins to arrive. No resettlement program of this scope can be problem-free. There are bound to be mix-ups, snafus, tensions and unhappy clients. What’s important is getting things mostly right. And in that, the Canadian people will play the bigger, more enduring role. The government can provide screening, airlift, funding and short-term shelter. It’s up to the rest of us to provide the open arms, and a new home.

The Penticton office will be at 202-301 Main Street, where local MP offices have been for many years. The Castlegar office will be in the Century 21 building at 1695A Columbia Avenue.

NATIONAL Industry wants Alberta to rethink coal plan, says miners, towns will suffer
MANITOBA
Isolated reserve one step closer to ‘Freedom Road’
THE C ANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG - An isolated reserve under one of Canada’s longest boil-water advisories is one step closer to being connected with the outside world. The Manitoba government introduced a bill that would give the province legal authority to help fund construction of a permanent road for Shoal Lake 40 First Nation. The reserve - on the Ontario-Manitoba boundary - was cut off from the mainland a century ago during construction of an aqueduct which sends fresh water to Winnipeg. It has no all-weather road and has been under a boil-water advisory for 18 years. “It’s something that cannot be overlooked any longer,” said Aboriginal Affairs Minister Eric Robinson, who introduced the bill. “The challenges faced by Shoal Lake 40 in terms of clean drinking water, the cost of living and all these other factors have to be considered.” In the summer, people of Shoal Lake 40 depend on an aging ferry to get to the mainland, but the vessel failed government inspection this year. They use a treacherous ice road in the winter and people have died falling through the ice. Health-care workers and ambulances won’t risk going to the community and children have to leave the reserve to continue their education past Grade 8. The reserve has lobbied for what residents call “Freedom Road” for years and pressure has been growing from business leaders, politicians, artists and activists.
THE C ANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - The president of the Coal Association of Canada says Alberta’s plan to phase out coal-fired power plants by 2030 will throw people out of work, hurt rural communities and undermine industries by boosting electricity costs. Robin Campbell said the NDP government should instead invest in new technologies to help retrofit the plants so they can continue to burn coal, but with less pollution. “We think the government should be investing in new technology and research to do a better job of reducing emissions,” Campbell said. “Making sure that we don’t lose our competitive advantage when it comes to our other industries in the province that depend on electricity.” Campbell said the government could use money from Alberta’s Climate Change and Emissions Management Fund, which large
industrial companies pay into when they can’t meet their greenhouse gas reduction targets. Along with the coal companies, about 3,000 miners as well as rural communities such as Hanna, Forestburg, Battle River, Wainwright, Wabamun and Keephills would be affected by the plant shutdowns, he warned. “There is a lot of uncertainty out there and people are definitely concerned about their livelihoods and their families and their homes,” said Campbell, a former Alberta Progressive Conservative finance and environment minister. Before he got into politics Campbell worked for the United Mine Workers of America union. Alberta’s climate change strategy includes introducing a broadbased carbon tax that would apply across the economy and phasing out coal-fired power generation. These plants produce more than half of Alberta’s power. But environmental experts note that

they also produce about onethird of all the sulphur dioxide released in the province. Campbell said the industry is willing to do its part. But he said it doesn’t make sense for the government to turn its back on a power source that helps provide an affordable, stable electricity supply to the province. He pointed to Ontario, where electricity prices spiked after the government moved to retire coal generation. The NDP government has said it has appointed a negotiator to help broker the orderly phase out of the plants that will be fair to the workers, the communities and the companies. Details of the plan have not been released. Campbell said everyone that is to be affected by the phase out plan is eager for more information. “People are concerned about this. They haven’t seen a plan.”

Hawks visit Cats, host Rockets JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor
The Beaver Valley Nitehawks face off against a couple of Eddie Murdoch division foes this weekend as they travel to Creston to take on the ThunderCats on Friday, then host the Golden Rockets at the Hawks Nest Saturday. The 15-7-1-1 ThunderCats split their games on the weekend beating the Doug Birks division basement-dwelling Sicamous Eagles 3-0 Friday thanks to a 47-save performance from Brock Lefebvre. Yet, the Cats handed the Rockets just their second win of the season Sunday in a 5-3 setback. “We put ourselves in a hole early in the game and Golden scored a couple goals off turnovers in our zone,” Creston coach Jeff Dubois told the Creston Valley Advance. “By the time we got our act together in the third, we dug ourselves a deep enough hole that we couldn’t get back
into it.” One shining star for the Cats was the play of recently acquired forward Brett Witala, who has three goals and an assist in the two games since joining Creston on Friday. Austin Seger was sent to the Campbell River Storm of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League in exchange for Witala, who tallied 13 points in 18 games with the Storm. But the Cats MVP this season is goalie Lefebvre who boasts a 2.05 goals against average and a .941 save percentage, and the Hawks snipers will have to be at their best to beat the Cranbrook native. The Hawks meanwhile will be without injured forwards Sam Swanson and Kyle Hope, and defenceman Lyle Frank. “You miss Lyle Frank on the back end on a consistent basis, I mean you can hang on for a little bit, but you need someone else to step back in and jump up,” said Nitehawks coach and GM Terry Jones.
Last week the Hawks had a good performance from affiliate players Connor Seib and Brad Ross in a 3-2 win over Nelson, but were forced to go to a short bench on Saturday in an overtime loss to Grand Forks. “We’ll try to get another AP in,” said Jones. “We’ll wait and see where we’re at Friday. I think we’re looking for an AP on defence. Jake Yuris should be back and then we’d have six guys we can play, so we’ll have some healthy, but we’re still without Sam, Kyle, and Lyle.” The Rockets meanwhile have struggled to a 2-21-1-2 record this season, but should be coming off a high after upsetting the ThunderCats Sunday. “The league is tight and it’s not like there’s any run away games,” said Jones. “It’s just putting 60 minutes together.” The Nitehawks play in Creston at 7 p.m. and will host the Rockets on Saturday night at the Beaver Valley Arena a 7:30 p.m.

SPORTS NHL
Landon Ferraro: SCOREBOARD Football off to strong start as a Bruin
C ANADIAN PRESS Trail native Ray Ferraro had plenty of background on one of his intermission guests Monday night. Ferraro, the TSN analyst, got to toss some questions at his son Landon, a forward who was making his debut with the Boston Bruins against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Landon, a former Burnaby Winter Club product, had been credited initially with a second-period goal, but it was later given to Brad Marchand and Ferraro was awarded an assist. Landon had been picked up by the Bruins off waivers from the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday, where he had spent his whole career since being Detroit’s 2009 second-round draft pick. He has one goal and one assist in 18 career NHL games. Ray, 51, played over 1,200 games in the NHL. In a text afterwards, Ray explained: “This was an amazing night, so fun to see Landon that close up in his first game. The interview was something we had joked about for a few years, a once in a lifetime moment for sure. So happy the game went well for him.” Landon contributed with an assist against the Leafs, and also registered an assist on Wednesday night on the first of Frank Vatrano’s two goals in a 3-2 overtime victory against his former team. Landon starred in Junior with Red Deer, and played 70 games with the Red Wings affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins scoring 26 goals and 42 points in 70 games last season. The 24-year-old centre is fast, with an eye for the goal and has an instinct for getting open in offensive positions, and is incredibly strong in front of the net. In that way he’s very similar to his father, Ray, in his prime. He’s also got the tenacity Bruins fans love and is known as an intelligent, articulate player. Oddly enough, Ray was working Landon’s final game for the Red Wings, a Nov. 6 affair visit to Toronto. Landon played just 2:14 before he was injured and left the game.

Victoria Grizzlies, twice in a week, still have not figured out a way to maintain the pace they have seemed capable of all season for a full 60 minutes. Things will not get any easier for the Smokies this weekend, either. They travel to surprisingly strong Wenatchee Wild, Penticton Vees, and then face long-time nemesis West Kelowna Warriors on the road before returning home for their only two games at Cominco Arena in an entire month of play next weekend (that schedule thing). Beginning at the middle of the month, however, Smoke Eater fans will still have time to grab up some Smokie stocking stuffers (and main presents, too) during the run-up to the Christmas break. And, of course, to watch the entertaining-but-frustrating local squad perform. Still hope, of course, for post season play here, but it will take a more consistent effort, game by game, from Trail for the team to climb at least one more standings rung and achieve that.

The Ideal Of A Life Of Evangelical Poverty Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted. “He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury; and he saw a poor widow put in two copper coins. And he said, ‘truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them; for they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all the living that she had’” (Luke 21:1-4). This poor widow has devoted herself totally to the Lord. She has lost everything of this world that most people consider makes life enjoyable, worthwhile, and worth living. She lives in poverty and can only contribute a penny (Mark 12:42), and Jesus says that she has put in everything that she has. She has no money left to buy for herself the pleasures that most people live for. She is old. She has no husband. She cannot afford rich food or other pleasures or entertainments. God is her only treasure, the only source of her joy in life. But in a deeper and truer sense, she has everything, and she is better off than the wealthy with all their rich food and worldly pleasures. She can love God with an undivided heart, not divided by empty worldly pleasures that only divide their hearts from a pure love of God. That is why Jesus blesses the poor, and warns the rich. “Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God ... But woe to you that are rich, for you have received your consolation” (Luke 6:20, 24). What a sad thing it will be to hear this, that the rich who live a life of worldly pleasure have already received their consolation. Instead of receiving consolation from God,

both in this life and the next, they have only received earthly consolations, which are far inferior to God’s consolations. How much better it is to sacrifice worldly consolations in order to receive God’s consolations! How much better it is to renounce a worldly life and lifestyle with all its worldly consolations, and rather receive heavenly joys, even in this present life! And this renunciation is necessary to receive heavenly consolations, because earthly consolations divide our heart, preventing us from having an undivided heart in our love for God. A divided heart makes us insensitive and unable to receive and experience God’s heavenly consolations. It is the anawim, the poor of the Lord, those who have lost everything of this world and look only to God for their joy and happiness in life, who are truly consoled by him. These are the ones blessed by Jesus; not those who live in worldly pleasures that divide their hearts and make them distant from God and unable to experience his peace and joy. So in many ways this poor widow, who can only contribute a penny, which is “all the living that she had” (Luke 21:4), is a model for us. We too are to renounce rich food, as Daniel did in the first reading, and eat simply, living a simple life, living in evangelical poverty for the love of God, so that the rich food and distracting pleasures of this world do not deprive us of divine consolation both now and hereafter. We too ought to be the anawim, the poor of the Lord, who find our delight only in the Lord. How much greater will be our delight if we find it only in the Lord, and not also in worldly pleasures and rich food that divide our heart and deprive us of having an undivided and truly sensitive and receptive heart in our love for God. © Copyright 2007-2009 Rev.

Christian-Muslim dialogue essential to prevent extremism, promote peace: Pope
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NAIROBI, Kenya -- Pope Francis told Christian and Muslim leaders in Kenya on Thursday that they have little choice but to engage in dialogue to guard against the “barbarous” Islamic extremist attacks that have struck Kenya, saying they need to be “prophets of peace.” Francis met with a small group of Kenya’s faith leaders before celebrating his first public Mass on the continent, a joyful, rain-soaked celebration of an estimated 300,000 faithful, including Kenya’s president. The Argentine pope, who has never been to Africa before, was treated to ululating Swahili singers, swaying nuns, Maasai tribesmen and traditional dancers at the Mass on the grounds of the University of Nairobi. On his first full day in Kenya, Francis received a raucous welcome from the crowd as he zoomed around in his open-sided popemobile, some 10,000 police providing security. Some people had been at the university since 3 a.m., braving heavy showers that turned the grounds into thick puddles of mud. Others waited in queues 3 kilometres (1.8 miles) deep to get close to the venue. But the size of the crowd -- estimated by both police and the Vatican -- was far smaller than the 1.4 million that Kenyan authorities had expected after declaring Thursday a national holiday. Vatican officials had predicted a maximum of a half-million people, and the lower number was likely due in large part to the weather. In his homily, Francis appealed for traditional family values, calling for Kenyans to “resist practices which foster arrogance in men, hurt or demean women, don’t care for the elderly and threaten the life of the innocent unborn.” The African church is among the most conservative in the world, and African bishops have been at the forefront in insisting that traditional church teachings on marriage and sexuality, and its opposition to abortion, be strongly emphasized. Francis obliged, but also stressed issues of his own concern: He called for Kenyans to shape a more just society that looks out for the poor and to “reject everything that leads to prejudice and discrimination, for these things are not of God.” Francis heads later to the U.N. regional headquarters in Nairobi for an environment speech. On Friday, he arrives in Uganda for the second leg of his trip. Earlier Thursday, Francis met with about 25 representatives of Kenya’s faith groups: Anglicans, other Protestants, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus and Jews. The pope insisted that religion can never be used to justify violence and lamented that “all too often, young people are being radicalized in the name of religion to sow discord and fear, and to tear at the very fabric of our societies.” He said dialogue among the faiths isn’t a luxury or optional, but is simply “essential.” Kenya, a former British colony, is majority Christian. Muslims represent about 10 per cent of the population. “How important it is that we be seen as prophets of peace, peacemakers who invite others to live in peace, harmony and mutual respect,” Francis said. His comments were echoed by Abdulghafur El-Busaidy, the head of the Supreme Council of Kenyan Muslims. He said Christians and Muslims must work together to accommodate one another, and lead the country. “We should not step back,” he said. “We have to lead, because we are led by the word of God.” Francis’ message of tolerance and his concern for the poor has been welcomed by Kenyans of all religious stripes.

Dear Annie: My 12-year-old daughter confessed to me this evening that she believes she is bisexual. She was quite upset about a comment made by another girl today. I immediately comforted her and explained that I love her, no holds barred. She will always be my baby. I know your column has recommended some websites for parents and personal support, but I am unable to recall them. I want to become more educated in order to help guide my child on how to be happy with who she is. This information will also help when she decides to tell her father and stepmother. Thank you. -- Love My Child Dear Love: We commend you for being a supportive, loving parent. Please keep in mind that sexuality can be more fluid than we sometimes realize, especially for teenagers, so we hope you will continue to be supportive while your daughter sorts it out. A great website for parents is PFLAG (pflag.org). And

REVELSTOKE
Narrow vote concludes standingroom only meeting BY ALEX COOPER Revelstoke Times Review
After a marathon three hour public hearing, and a 30 minute discussion by council, the Revelstoke Crossing shopping centre proposal was defeated at third reading. Councillors Connie Brothers, Aaron Orlando and Gary Sulz voted against third reading. Mayor Mark McKee and councillor Linda Nixon supported it. The vote was over whether or not to re-zone the property at the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 23 North to allow for grocery and pharmacy uses, thereby paving the way for a shopping centre. The vote made for high drama at the community centre, with council speaking their mind in front of about 100 people who stayed for the whole affair. In the end, it was Sulz, who voted in support of third reading back in October, who cast the deciding vote against third reading. “There’s a time to be right and there’s a time to walk away. At the risk of going against

what most people feel in my part of the community, I’m going to acquiesce to most of you. I’m not going to support this going forward. I’m going to ask the developer to stay so that we can look at doing things over again,” he said. The public hearing began at 7 p.m. in the community centre. It was standing room only as more than 200 people packed the hall. For more than 2.5 hours people got up and spoke — most were against the shopping centre proposal and urged council to defeat it and go When people were finally done speaking, council moved to give the re-zoning bylaw third reading. Linda Nixon continued to voice her support, saying she believed there was still a silent majority in favour of the development. “They are the single moms and the single parents and the people that live in Columbia Park and they want to see the grocery store come tow town,” she said. “We do need to increase our population, and this is only going to be a small site. This mall is only 10 per cent the footprint of the downtown.” Connie Brothers once again said that council needed to take more time and do more homework. It was a view she’s
voiced several times and she stuck to it. “I want development at that location, but I want the right development,” she said. “I don’t think we’ve discovered if this is the right development.” Aaron Orlando made similar comments. He said he didn’t think the city’s planning documents supported the mall development, and that the majority of residents opposed it. “They say we can do better than this, and I think we can do better than this,” he said. “I haven’t seen a lot from the proponent to support this development. I really don’t think that I’ve been convinced.” With Mayor Mark McKee’s vote almost certainly in favour, it meant that it was up to Gary Sulz to cast the deciding vote. He voted for it in October, and he made comments at the end of the public hearing that seemed to lean voting in favour once again. “We need to do it for the entire community, not just for a select few. We need jobs in this community, we need to keep people here,” he said before McKee closed the public hearing. “We need to build our tax base, because if you want o continue to have the services you now enjoy, we need to have development somehow,
THE NELSON STAR Interior Health’s new CEO says a final decision on privatizing hospital laundry services, including those in Nelson, won’t be made before March. “I plan to take additional time in reviewing the future of our laundry services,” Chris Mazurkewich said in a prepared statement. “This process has taken, unfortunately, longer than anyone anticipated, and I want to take the time to understand all of the complexities around this significant issue.” Mazurkewich said he appreciates the delay may be frustrating to those who have been wait-

somewhere.” However, when it came time to voting, he voted against third reading. “The risk for me is absolutely enormous,” he said. “If we don’t put something on that property than the decision that I may make now will be left to the community fir the years to come may. It might the biggest mistake I’ve ever made.” By the time Mayor McKee spoke, the vote was a done deal. Still, he voiced his support for the re-zoning. “I guess what I’m saying is move forward, approve it, sit down with the developers at the table,” he said. “They seem like very nice people, they seem to really want to do the right thing. Come up with a development that fits our community and fits the downtown core. If it’s turned down, I hope they will stay and come up with a development that fits our community and enhances our downtown core.” An applause went through the crowd when the hands went up and the motion was defeated. After, Michael Spaull, the development manager for the proponent Hall Pacific, said he would have to go back to his boss, Fraser Hall, and discuss their plan moving forward.
ing for the decision. “I plan to work with the team leading the review to gather all of the information available to ensure we make a thorough recommendation to our board,” he said. Those recommendations will be presented to the board in March. The Hospital Employees’ Union, which represents affected workers, welcomed the news. “We’re pleased that under new leadership, the IHA is taking a serious look at the plans for hospital laundries,” secretary-business manager Jennifer Whiteside said in a news release.
