Free seniors’ gym a huge hit: CAO VAL ROSSI Trail Times

Santa Claus said the nice list is outweighing the naughty this year. He was all out of sorts Saturday night; he said, joking that he thought he was in Castlegar. Thankfully, Mrs. Claus was there to keep him in line and “competition with these Shrekies” kept him on his toes. A group of Triple Threat musical theatre students were out promoting their production of Shrek The Musical JR. coming to the Charles Bailey Theatre Dec. 12. More photos on Page 16
New site accessed nightly at El Niña, Trail’s temporary shelter SHERI REGNIER Trail Times
Up to three people have knocked on the door of Trail’s temporary shelter each night since it opened three weeks ago. They are welcomed to a warm place to sleep, offered laundry and shower amenities and a light meal - but only for so long. “This isn’t just a hotel for a month,” says Program Coordinator Sheila Adcock, from Career Development Services (CDS). “If they are not in a crisis and just passing through, individuals utilizing the shelter need to be in a place where they are
actively seeking housing and supports.” There have been instances in the past when a person accessed the facility following a 30-day stint at the year round shelter in Nelson. But the rules are different in Trail, and CDS has developed a policy that states people must connect with housing facilitator through the Getting to Home program within three days, if they wish to stay. “What we are staying away from and being very clear about, is this is not an ongoing shelter like in Nelson,” Adcock explained. “That shelter is year round and individuals can stay there for 30 days. Some were spending 30 days
there then coming to Trail thinking they could stay here for 30 days, then go back to Nelson,” she added. “That is not our mandate, they need to be actively seeking housing to stay in La Niña shelter we don’t have consistent funding so this isn’t a place to stay for a month before moving on.” Finding housing can take anywhere from one day to one month depending upon each person’s needs, she says. “The individual does not have to take the first thing that comes up,” Adcock said. “But they don’t get to stay here all winter (withCONTINUED ON PAGE 2

Gym day has become a routine for a large portion of seniors in the Fruitvale area. When fitness partners Sharon Brown, Cathy Seifrit, and Pauline Jorgensen are not working up a sweat outside, be it walking or snowshoeing, the crew of ladies punch in at the GYM for a cardio fix. “Right now it’s really good because if it’s icy and we can’t walk, we’ll just go to the gym,” said Brown. She is not the only Beaver Valley senior or middler taking advantage of a new free workout facility in the basement of the Fruitvale Memorial Centre. The GYM went from idea to reality when the village received a $25,000 seniors’ grant from the government this spring and was backed by other local contributors. The funding covered the cost of brand new equipment such as a rowing machine, a couple treadmills and ellipticals, a stationary bike and much more. There are currently about 340 members and 18 awaiting access CONTINUED ON PG 2 Contact the Times:

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 cards, Lila Cresswell, village chief administrative officer, noted late last month. “When we started we assumed the take up would be about 80 to 100 members,” she added. “We are surprised and delighted at the number of seniors and middlers using the gym; and on a very regular basis.” In the middle of September, the village saw about 12 to 15 users per day. That climbed to 25 to 30 users per day by the end of October and Cresswell could only assume what last month looked like pre-number crunching. The users are from all over the Beaver Valley, roughly 50 per cent from Fruitvale, 35 per cent from Electoral Area A and the remaining coming from Montrose. The total cost of the GYM was $37,000 and funded by donations and grants - $25,000 from the New Horizons for Seniors grant and the $12,000 balance from local and regional businesses, societies and community groups. “I think this is one of the most successful small projects that the Village of Fruitvale has undertaken and the feedback from the users has been unanimously positive to date,” said Cresswell. Fruitvale Mayor Patricia Cecchini couldn’t agree more. She said the response from the community has been overwhelming. “It’s been interesting talking to all the massage therapists and physiotherapists, even in Trail, and they say that they have tons of patients who are using it, so they’re actually all on board and sponsoring us as well now by sending us donations to keep it going,” said Cecchini. “It’s been really exciting and fun,” she added. “Every time I go in there I feel like such a hero because they’re all like ‘This is the best thing that has happened in the valley.’”

There was a glimmer of hope that one of Art Waite’s wooden toys may turn up Christmas morning for this young shopper, who couldn’t quite move onto other crafter’s tables Saturday during the Trail Indoor Winter Market.

tioning CDS tracks how many people use the shelter each year as well as the number and demographic of people housed through the homeless program. “We’ve been approached to be part of the homeless count this year so we are on record with how many people have struggled with homelessness this year,” Adcock explained, noting the area includes Castlegar, Rossland, Trail and the Beaver Valley. “But homeless looks different here, it’s not like going to the Lower East side and counting bodies on the street,” she said. “Here
it’s people who are couch surfing, sleeping in a back alley, living two-to-three in a small apartment or staying in an unsafe situation. It’s harder for us to get that count.” Provincial year round funding isn’t a service that’s applied for, as an example, if Trail wanted to facilitate a year round shelter like Nelson. Rather, the government appoints funding to those communities with the greatest homeless count. That’s the reason Adcock is working on statistics. The first year (2011) the shelter was volunteer-run in the base-
ment of the Salvation Army Church, with funding only allotted for nights the temperature fell to -10 C, which is considered extreme. Keith Simmons, former pastor at the Trail United Church, championed the cause the following year and gained funding to compensate shelter workers and keep the service open seven days a week regardless the temperature. Once CDS stepped in to support the service, the temporary shelter became much more than a warm place to sleep. CONTINUED ON PG 3

Two staffers on site CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 That’s when Getting to Home fell into place and collaboration between shelter-seekers, outreach workers and other community support services became a common thread. “Its changed over the years based on need,” said Adcock. “But it shows what a community can do when they see a need. And if we can now provide numbers, it may set us up for ongoing funding for the colder months, November to March, without having to apply to the program year after year.” This year, Adcock secured about $50,000 to run La Niña nightly, with two staff on site. To stretch those funds, if no one shows after 1 a.m., the shelter is closed. “BC Housing always asks how you can cut back and do more with less because there is always a funding crunch,” said Adcock. “Typically anyone using the shelter is there between 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. We went back a few years and found most who presented after 1 a.m. should have been taken to the RCMP lock cells or the hospital usually it was after a big fight with alcohol involved.” BC communities that have completed homeless counts report many benefits, according to “Counting Homelessness,” a provincial guideline that standardizes methods for the homeless count.

Business not as usual on B.C. farmland
A
griculture Minister Norm Letnick has released the latest update to the B.C. Liberal government’s “strategic growth plan” for farm and food products. After reporting a record $12.3 billion in total agriculture and agri-food sales in B.C. for 2014, the latest plan sets a new goal of increasing it to $15 billion by 2020. It’s a mostly a status quo plan, continuing current marketing efforts and encouraging higher-value production of a wider range of products. The ministry intends to hire its first expert in food and beverage production. It’s a reflection of the fact that fully 70 per cent of that $12.3 billion comes from food and beverage processing. This continues the government’s push to improve economic viability of farms by allowing more food product manufacturing and sales on Agricultural Land Reserve property. Letnick says another key strategy is to improve access to irrigation. B.C. has 20,000 farm operations, a number that’s holding steady even as the average age of farmers increases.

ments. The Langley Times reports that the Township of Langley quietly signed a deal with the ALC in July to allow development of farmland near the Aldergrove border crossing and Langley airport. The agreement says there is a need for a “defensible and durable urban/ALR edge.” If you think everyone loves farming, you’ve likely never lived on this “urban/ALR edge.” The latest example is on Vancouver Island, where urban neighbours are protesting an established farmer’s decision to clear a forested property for hay growing. The farmer has been forced to erect a chain-link fence to keep out trespassers who have decided the property is a park that they can use when they like. The mayors of Saanich and View Royal seem more concerned with appeasing urban complainers than protecting the right to farm. They are being pressed to buy up idle ALR land to soothe urban voters repelled by logging and farming. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

‘Hunger Games’ finale maintains top spot
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - The “Hunger Games” finale spoiled an early Christmas for the holiday horror comedy “Krampus” to maintain its top spot at the North American box office for the third week running. The Jennifer Lawrence-led film took in an estimated $18.6 million in the U.S. and Canada, bringing its domestic total to $227 million, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday. The anti-Santa Claus thriller from Universal, the only film to debut in the top 10 this week, brought in $16 million. The normally slow weekend following Thanksgiving was up 26 per cent from a year ago thanks to the fresh fodder from Universal, which slipped in between the release of two huge franchise movies- “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2,” and “Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens,” which is due out Dec. 18. “Even though it’s horror at its base, you needed to have enough time for the film to open and lead up to Christmas,” said Nicholas Carpou, Universal Pictures’ president of domestic distribution. “Being the only wide commercial release on this date really did wonders for this film.” Modestly budgeted for under $15 million, “Krampus” is likely to add to the profits of what has been a record year for Universal following the release of movies like “Jurassic World,” ”Furious 7,“ and ”Minions.“ “Creed,” the boxing film where Sylvester Stallone reprises his role as Rocky Balboa, came third, and the Disney/Pixar animated tale “The Good Dinosaur” came fourth. Each had around $15.5 million in ticket sales. Overall ticket sales are running 4 per cent ahead of last year and are on track to top $11 billion in the U.S. and Canada for the first time, said Rentrak’s senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian. Dergarabedian says it remains to be seen whether the global excitement around J.J. Abrams’ “Star Wars” will drown out a bevy of other options coming out later this year. That ranges from director Alejandro Inarritu’s “The Revenant” to the Amy Poehler and Tina Fey-led comedy, “Sisters,” which has knowingly marketed its film with a “Star Wars” parody trailer and the hashtag #youcanseethemboth.

and security establishment that has grown fat on the proceeds. On the other hand, we have a very small terrorist threat to the “homeland” against which, for the most part, that establishment’s efforts are irrelevant because the attackers are homegrown, self-radicalised lone wolves. None of the three “Islamist” attacks over the past fourteen years was planned from abroad. All were carried out by US citizens or permanent residents. None of those people, so far as is known, was even in contact with organisations like al-Qaeda or Islamic State (although Tashfeen Malik pledged her allegiance to the latter on her Facebook page on her way to the massacre at the Inland Regional Centre in San Bernardino). The Islamist extremists pose an existential threat to Syria and Iraq. They are a serious threat to the other Arab countries, and a rather more distant problem for other Muslim countries. For Western, Asian and African countries that do not have large Muslim populations, they are merely a strategic nuisance. If any of those outside powers want to fight the Islamists on home ground (like the NATO countries and Russia, who are all now bombing Islamic State targets in Syria), then by all means do so. You might save the Syrians from a very unpleasant fate. But don’t imagine that this is necessary for your own defence. Conversely, don’t worry that the bombing will cause terrorist attacks on you at home. Those attacks will happen no matter what the United States (to pick an example at random) is doing or not doing abroad. And a country that can blithely ignore 63 shooting attacks in its schools since the beginning of this year can manage to live with a small Islamist attack every few years too.

The Trail Smoke Eaters Kienan Scott went top shelf to send the water bottle airborne to cap a dramatic 1-0 victory over the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Friday, and followed that up with a 4-2 win over Wenatchee Saturday at the Cominco Arena.

team took 12 penalties over two games, while the opposition were off just five times. “I wouldn’t call us an overlyaggressive team, kind of unorthodox weekend for penalties, but we’ve got to somehow manage to be more disciplined, because we’re not going to kill more than two times the opportunities we get on the power play every night.” Trail’s Ross Armour soon replied, however, converting a Nii Noi Tetteh set up 2:30 into the second to tie it. Kyle Star put the Smokies up 2-1 at the 8:04 mark of the second with assists to Harlan Orr and Spencer McLean. The Wild came out strong in the third and were rewarded when Blake Christenson netted his second of the night for Wenatchee 12:43 in. But Leitch’s goal, and an empty netter from Kale Howarth would ice it for the Smokies second straight win over the 18-9-2-2 Wild this season. “Even coming off a big win on Friday, I thought we elevated our play on Saturday to match Wenatchee, which is a tough game.”
In a thrilling goaltender’s duel on Friday between MacBurnie and Brody Claey, an end-to-end match up ended in a 1-0 victory for the Smokies, capped off by a highlight reel goal from Scott. With less than nine minutes remaining in the third, Max Newton feathered a perfect pass to Scott, who walked in and wired a waterbottle popper off the top of the net to give Trail a tenuous 1-0 lead. The Bulldogs pressured in the final minutes, but the Trail defence held and MacBurnie came up big, stopping 24 shots on the night, while Claey blocked 26 for Alberni. The Bulldogs went 0-for-6 on the power play, while Trail was 0-for-2. MacBurnie and Claey were named first and second stars respectively, and Scott the third star of the game with his team-leading 13th tally of the season. With the wins, the 13-17-00 Smokies made up ground on the Interior division’s fourth -place Vernon Vipers, gaining two points on the final playoff spot after the 14-17-0-2 Vipers CONTINUED ON A10
Following a welcomed weekend off, the Beaver Valley Nitehawks are itching to get back on the ice and will host the Spokane Braves tonight in KIJHL action. With just one goalie and multiple injuries plaguing the team over the past few weeks, the break has helped Beaver Valley recuperate - to a degree. “We have Ryan Terpsma back on defence, and we’ve also added a goaltender, Tallon Kramer, from the Grande Prairie Storm,” said B.V. Coach Terry Jones. Kramer is a 19-year Grande Prairie native who played nine games for the Alberta Junior Hockey League team, and will likely get the start against Spokane tonight. As the Hawks open the second half of the season, with the acquisition of Kramer, the team is almost set, but for three crucial components. The Hawks are still without the heart of their line up in captain Lyle Frank and forwards Sam Swanson and Kyle Hope. Swanson is day-to-day but Hope and Frank are not expected to return until the new year. “We will continue to assess our roster until Jan. 10 (trade deadline); but we like the guys we have, and we just have to make sure we continue to get better,” says Jones. “We’re excited about our team and about the new additions too, so once you add Lyle, Kyle and Sam back into your line up it’s like adding three new players that have been out a considerable amount of time - it’s like a trade almost and we’re looking forward to having them back.” The Braves meanwhile made a surprise move last week trading veteran goaltender Trevor Dilauro to the Revelstoke Grizzlies for goalie Michael Lenko of Gabriola Island and forward Kyle Donaldson of Kindersley, Sask. Dilauro earned Rookie of the Year and Goaltender of the Year honours for the Neil Murdoch division in 2014-15, however, the California native, like the Braves, had a tough start to this season, going 2-13-0-0 with a 4.23 goals against average and a .907 save percentage. Spokane is mired in last place in the division with a 4-22-0-4 record, and has lost five games in a row. Kurtis Redding leads the team in all categories including points, 29, with 15 goals and 14 assists, and penalty minutes with 84. The Hawks have put up an impressive, 18-5-12, record at the half-way point of the season, and will face Interior division teams in seven of their eight December games including tilts against the Nelson Leafs Friday, and the Rebels in Castlegar on Saturday. “I think you always want to strive to be better,” said Jones. “But I am excited about where we are, what our record is considering how we played. We can still be a lot better in a lot of areas, and that’s just part of the process, the continuous process of getCONTINUED ON A10

Trail still has three games in hand on the Vipers, and look to narrow the margin when they leave for their longest road trip of the year on Thursday. “That’s our goal, and we’re doing it when we have good goaltending and we’re competing as a team,” added the Yale alumnus. “There is something to be said about coming from behind
and clawing your way into this kind of position. You can use it to your advantage and come out a better team at the end of the day.” The Smokies travel to Powell River on Friday to play the Kings, then face the Bulldogs on Saturday in Port Alberni, and the Cowichan Valley Capitals on Sunday before returning to the Cominco Arena for a division match up against the Vernon Vipers on Dec. 16.

MLS CHAMPIONSHIP
Timber take title
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS, Ohio - Diego Valeri scored at the 27-second mark for the fastest goal in MLS Cup history and the Portland Timbers won the league title for the first time, beating the Columbus Crew 2-1 on Sunday. Rodney Wallace made it 2-0 in the seventh minute, and the Crew’s Kei Kamara scored in the 18th off a scramble in front of the goal. But the early deficit was too much for Columbus to overcome. Just after the opening whistle, Columbus midfielder Wil Trapp sent a back pass to goalkeeper Steve Clark, who tried to move the ball from his right foot to the left for a clearance. But Clark didn’t see Valeri closing and the midfielder poked the ball away from him and into the goal. BV REC

LEISURE
Be kind and patient with boyfriend’s teens
Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I have been dating for 18 months and would like to move in together and eventually marry. It would be a second marriage for both of us. He has been divorced for four years and has three children who are just into their teens. I have no children, but have been actively involved in the lives of my many nieces and nephews, and the children of my friends. His kids are the problem. I’m ready to give up the best relationship of my life because of them. They curse me, blatantly disrespect me, and are generally unpleasant to be around. They are physically and verbally violent toward each other, their peers and other family members. They lie and are disrespectful of adults and authority. They gossip and spread rumors. I’ve told my boyfriend about their bad behavior, but they are well-mannered and courteous in his presence, so he claims not to see it. I’ve attempted a heart-to-heart
