Whether it is buttons, stickers, window posters or lawn signs, with the municipal elections get-ting closer, some may be won-dering how they can show their support for their favourite can-didates.
Michelle McIsaac, corporate administrator for the City of Trail, says voters can outwardly express their support for a certain can-didate starting today, or 30 days before the election, but there are restrictions on where signs of
political support can be posted. “Signage can be placed on both
private and public property, but cannot be placed on or adjacent to city-owned buildings or in city parks and gardens,” said McIsaac. “Also, signage cannot be placed in locations that would create a traf-fic or pedestrian hazard.”
There are exceptions to the rule, with window signs having no set date for display or removal. There are also no limits set in regards to the size of an election sign.
According to McIsaac, signs
that do not follow the bylaws set out by the city will be taken down, either by the city or the person who displayed them and must be removed within a week of the election.
Those who want to make their own homemade signs to show backing of a particular candidate are more than welcome to do so, but the signage must follow the rules laid out in the Local Elections Campaign Funding Act, says McIsaac.
“We don’t normally see them, (but my only comment) would
be that there are new require-ments now under the “Local Elections Campaign Financing Act” for all election campaign materials to include sponsorship information,” she said in an email response. “All the candidates are aware of these requirements, but if someone was going to make up a sign to promote a candidate on their own, they would need to familiarize themselves with the requirements.”
The full requirements can be found on the Elections BC web-site.

Bah humbug, there's not going to be a Trail indoor market this year.
After two successful seasons of moving the Trail Outdoor Market on the Esplanade inside the city's centre every other Friday until Christmas, the event was officially shelved on Tuesday.
City staff asked Trail council to forgo the winter markets this year after an integral player, the Trail and District Chamber of Commerce (TCOC), took itself off the list of supporters this season.
The chamber's role in the market planning is key, because TCOC staff coordinates ven-dor bookings, fields related calls, processes payments and attends every Friday event.
Taking the mar-ket inside the Trail Memorial Centre does not support downtown business, says Norm Casler, TCOC's executive director, so the chamber wants to focus on helping its members build their businesses, especially over the holi-day season.
That decision was very dis-appointing for Coun. Eleanor Gattafoni Robinson, and she ques-tioned TCOC's stance during the Tuesday governance and operations committee meeting.
“Needless to say I am totally
opposed to what's transpiring here,” said the councillor and spearhead of the outdoor and indoor markets.
“You don't have to be a British scholar to figure out that you're getting 500 people to the downtown core attending the market. And they were dispersing and going through other parts of the downtown core.”
She maintains the markets are a community gathering place, not just a place to shop, and a popular
draw for out-of-town-ers as well as locals.
“This was a huge success for both mar-ket-goers and down-town merchants,” Gattafoni Robinson added. “I'm very upset that it's come to this point, because I don't think it should have.”
By a narrow mar-gin, 4-3, (voting to keep the market were councillors Gattafoni Robinson, Kevin Jolly
and Robert Cacchioni; against were Mayor Dieter Bogs, and councillors Rick Georgetti, Gord DeRosa and Sean Mackinlay) council agreed to end the winter markets and hand the matter to Andrea Jolly, Trail's communications and events coordi-nator, to review for 2015.
In conjunction with the Downtown Opportunities and Action Committee, Jolly will be surveying downtown merchants and shoppers to determine the

It isn't even Halloween yet, but Debbie McDonnell is already thinking about Christmas presents – not for her family, but for less fortu-nate children all over the world.
Through Operation Christmas Child, shoe-boxes are packed with toys and necessities and shipped to children in developing nations, like Liberia and Haiti.
With the project, kids from over 100 coun-tries will be getting a present at Christmastime, and McDonnell says it could be the only present they get this year.
“For a lot of the children, it is the only gift they will ever receive,” she said, adding it isn't just kids who celebrate Christmas who will be getting a box.
“It is given to every child, no matter what their race, religion, anything. There are no bar-riers – every child receives a shoebox.”
McDonnell says the project not only helps the children receiving the shoeboxes, but those who are giving them, as well.
“We are all so blessed here and have so much, sometimes you don't think of the kids that don't have anything – not even one toy,” she said.
“It is a good way for parents to teach their kids that not all children have what they have. We saw a lot of that last year – parents trying to teach their kids that it is good to give and not just receive.”
Last year's Operation Christmas Child proj-ect in Trail sent out over 600 shoeboxes to needy children in third-world countries and this year's goal is to send 1,000. Almost 10 mil-lion shoeboxes were collected internationally in last year's campaign.

FROM PAGE 1feasibility of a future winter market that would be marketed and advertised as its own event.
“Why are we doing that again?” questioned Gattafoni Robinson. “I don’t think we have to re-invent the wheel. The market is already a success so what’s the reason for another sur-vey.”
Determining how the market impacts downtown is a chal-lenge for the city, said David Perehudoff, Trail’s chief adminis-trative officer. “They (TCOC) don’t believe the indoor market is promoting downtown business and is a con-flict from their per-spective.”
With the indoor market off the plate, TCOC staff is turning its attention to host-ing the all candidates forums, and assist-ing with the city’s Spooktacular event and Silver City Nites on Dec. 6,.
Additionally, the chamber has expressed interest in promoting existing winters mar-kets that include the Mistletoe Market at the Riverbelle, the Waneta Plaza Christmas Craft Fair and the United Church Craft Fair.

T h e C a n a d i a n P r e s sSLOCAN, B.C. - Friends of a fugitive
gunman shot to death by police near the village of Slocan, B.C., are express-ing their grief and anger over what they consider a tragic end to a man’s life.
Peter DeGroot, 45, was killed Monday, five days after an exchange of gunfire with police when Mounties responded to a dispute between two people.
DeGroot fled into the woods, trig-gering an influx of officers, helicop-ters and search dogs to the commun-ity where residents were told to stay indoors.
RCMP said DeGroot was found by police Monday in a cabin near a gravel pit and shot and killed following an
“interaction.”DeGroot’s supporters have set up a
memorial page on Facebook, saying he was harmless.
Patrik Kapuscinsky said DeGroot suf-fered from ill health and was doing the best he could under extreme financial stress. In a posting, he said that police should have waited DeGroot out, han-dled the situation in a more humane and diplomatic way and given him the help he needed.
The shooting is being investigated by B.C.’s police watchdog, the Independent Investigations Office. Few details have been released about the circumstances surrounding DeGroot’s death.
The agency said there is no timeline
for when it will complete its report.“More than a few of us are deeply
suspect of the way this all went down,” Delaine Hird wrote in a posting on the memorial page.
Antonia Crossley, who owns a res-taurant in Slocan, said she didn’t know DeGroot but that diners have had mixed feelings about the police action.
“All we heard was that he died of gunshot wounds. We never heard if he fired first. All they said was they found a firearm.
“What does that mean?”“Police had only one thing in mind:
to secure the place and protect citizens. But whether it was necessary to end up like this is a big question mark.”

VICTORIA – Both the federal and prov-incial governments have issued environ-mental assessment certificates for BC Hydro’s Site C dam, the proposed third hydroelectric project on the Peace River in northeastern B.C.
The approvals include dozens of legally binding con-ditions, including a $20 million farmland
enhancement fund to offset river bot-tom land that would be flooded, and com-pensation for local aboriginal groups whose historic treaty rights to hunting, fishing and trapping would be affected.
Cost of the project, last estimated by BC Hydro at $7.9 billion, will factor into a final decision by the B.C. cabinet whether to go ahead with the dam. Energy Minister Bill
Bennett has indicated he expects the final investment decision to be made by the end of 2014, and if it’s approved, work would begin immediately.
Among the 77 B.C. conditions is an aboriginal business participation strat-egy to share the esti-mated 10,000 person-years of construction work the dam project would generate.
Seven aboriginal communities affected
by the proposal have been offered cash and Crown land to com-pensate for land lost by construction of the dam.
All are signator-ies to Treaty 8, which ensures their rights to hunt, trap and fish as they did before the treaty was signed in 1899. Officials say five of the seven are currently in negotia-tions.
Situated near Fort St. John and down-stream of the W.A.C. Bennett and Peace Canyon dams, Site C’s 1,050-metre-long earthfill dam would create a reservoir 83 km long and two to three times the cur-rent width of the river.
It requires two power lines built in the same corridor as the existing line,
and six water turbine generators that would produce enough elec-tricity to power about 450,000 homes.
BC Hydro esti-mates that because Site C would use water held back in the existing Williston Lake reservoir, it would generate 35 per cent of the energy as the Bennett dam with only five per cent of the reservoir area.
Permits approved for Site C hydro dam
T h e c A N A D I A N P r e S SVANCOUVER -
B.C.’s health minister has assured the pub-lic that the province is prepared to deal with a case of Ebola after a second U.S. health worker tested positive for the virus.
Terry Lake said Wednesday the risk in B.C. is low, but provin-cial health authorities have in place infection control systems and procedures that were developed during the SARS outbreak in 2003 and H1N1 outbreak in 2009.
Lake said those standards are the same used by Medecins Sans Frontieres, or Doctors Without Border, in West Africa and the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Ga., which have been deal-ing with cases of the Ebola virus.
He added he’s tasked the province’s health officer to confirm that hospitals are equipped to handle Ebola cases and that protocols are in place to protect health-care staff.
“I’ve asked Dr. Perry Kendall ... to make sure that we put a team together to review all the protocols in place, make sure nurses and other ally health pro-fessionals have the necessary training and equipment that is necessary to deal with any suspected case of Ebola,” he said.
Lake also said he’s eager to learn lessons from Dallas, where two health workers contracted Ebola after helping care for a patient who died from the virus.
“Until we under-stand why those health-care workers were infected, it’s hard to know how to pre-vent it or what lessons can be learned from that,” he said.
Lake’s statement comes after the B.C. Nurses’ Union said its members aren’t ready to respond to Ebola cases because they haven’t been trained to protect themselves from getting the virus or to care for such patients.
Minister says B.C. prepared for Ebola
virus
T h e c A N A D I A N P r e S SVANCOUVER - A lawyer for
the B.C. Teachers’ Federation has warned of a litany of consequences if the provincial government is mere-ly required to consult the union before imposing working condi-tions instead of using collective bar-gaining.
John Rogers told an appeal court panel that items such as compen-sation, professional development,
seniority rights and benefits could be imposed by the province through legislation.
On Tuesday, a lawyer for the province argued that the govern-ment deleted hundreds of clauses from the teachers’ contract in 2002 in order to break 20 years of conflict around contract negotiations.
The province is appealing a rul-ing decided in favour of the union last January.

HUME (NEE RIVET), GEORGINA M. – 26 April 1925 – 9 October, 2014
After a lifetime dedicated to the care of others, a beautiful, spirited, intelligent and adventuresome woman completed her � nal journey at almost 90 years of age on October 9, 2014 in Trail, BC.
Georgina was a devout catholic with an abiding sense of responsibility to help and care for others. She lived ahead of and outside of her times, and she had a highly unusual and complex life living amongst diverse cultures across many continents.
Throughout her lifetime she was a courageous, hard-working, independent woman who always sought to help others. She had a remarkable determined and resili-ent spirit.
She was born into a family of early French Canadian Pi-oneers who had set-tled in Vimy, Alberta. Her earliest ancestors arrived in Canada in 1671. In 1891 her own grandparents arrived in St. Albert, Alberta by cov-ered wagon and then cleared land near Morinville for farming. She grew up in a poor farming family during the Great Depression and knew much hardship, but never learned the art of complaint. As a child herself, while her mother worked on the farm, she cared for her three younger brothers and the house-hold. She attended a one-room school at a distance from her farm, often living by herself in a shed with a woodstove near the school and travelling home to the farm by horse and buggy in the summer and by cutter in the winter. A teacher, recognizing her intelligence, encour-aged her to attend university. Attending university and having a career was, for a woman in the early 1940s, especially one coming from her circumstances, very unusual. It is a testament to her spirit that she received a Bachelor of Arts from The University of Alberta in 1947 and a Bachelor of Social Work from UBC in 1951. She then went on to have a career as a Child Care Social Worker.
In 1955 she married her husband John Hume and moved to be with him in Flin Fon, Manitoba where they start-ed their family. In 1959, with a two year
old and a newborn in arms, she followed her husband to live in a remote, isolated copper mining town in the high Andes in Peru where John worked in copper milling. She had her last child in Peru, and the family lived there for 10 years during a time of great political and so-cial turbulence in South America. In 1969 they returned to Canada and lived in Sorrento, BC, where they had a sum-mer resort on the Shuswap Lake. In 1972, the family departed again for another overseas adventure this time to the wild highlands of Irian Jaya, the other half of Papua New Guinea. There they experienced even more extreme isolation and exposure to one of the most unknown indigenous cultures in the world and lived in the mists of a mountainous rainforest. It was an un-common, indescribable life experience where grass skirts, bows and arrows and nose bones were commonplace, as was also the brutal force of the suppressing Indonesian armored troops.
The family returned to Canada to set-tle in St. Albert Alberta in 1976. There-after she resumed working as a Child Care Social Worker for Alberta Social Services in Edmonton until her retire-ment in 1987. She then helped care for and enjoyed her grandchildren for years.
In 1996 she moved with her husband John to join their daughter Cheryl Ann Hume in Trail where she continued to be a loving and supporting grandmother to many of her grandchildren. She also cared for and supported John until his passing in 2005.
Even at the age of 89 she remained determined to help and care for others. Equally though, she was deeply grateful for the kindness and affection given to her by the staff of Poplar Ridge Pavilion. She always wanted to thank people and tell them how “wonderful” they were - which they were. She will be remem-bered by the smile that lit her face and her great spirit.

OBITUARIES
T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SSONOMA, Calif. - Carolyn Kizer, a feminist
Pulitzer Prize-winning poet who spoke her polit-ical mind even at age 7, has died in Sonoma from the effects of dementia, her literary executor said. She was 89.
Kizer, who won her Pulitzer in 1985 for a col-lection of work called “Yin” after the female prin-ciple in Chinese cosmology, died last Thursday at a nursing home, executor David Rigsbee told the Los Angeles Times.
Born in Spokane, Washington, Kizer was 7 and attending a dinner party held by her parents when asked about political parties. She told guests “Oh, we veer with the wind.”
One of Kizer’s best known works was “Pro Femina,” an ardent call for feminist progress. In one of the four poems making up the collection she wrote: “I will speak about women of letters, for I’m in the racket.”
When she wrote “Pro Femina,” she wrote about the 1920s, when female poets were mocked as the “Oh-God-the-Pain Girls.” She believed men encouraged that depiction. “Poetry wasn’t a craft but a sickly effluvium,” she wrote, “the air thick with incense, musk and emotional black-mail.”
In the late ‘60s, she was director of liter-ary programs for the National Endowment for the Arts. She was a chancellor of the American Academy of Poets until 1998, when she resigned to protest the board’s lack of diversity at the time.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SBOISE, Idaho -
Same-sex couples in Idaho counted down the final seconds and then cheered as Ada County clerks began issuing them marriage licenses Wednesday morning.
More than 100 people were gathered at the courthouse in Boise to mark the occasion as Idaho became the latest state to begin recogniz-ing gay marriage in the wake of a series of court rulings nationwide.
Both Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter and Attorney General Lawrence Wasden had fiercely opposed a court ruling earlier this year overturning Idaho’s gay marriage ban, but both officials said Tuesday
that they felt they had done what they could in the courts for now.
They ended their opposition to a ruling that ordered the state to begin issuing marriage licenses at 9 a.m. PDT Wednesday.

OPINION
Trade mission weighed down by ‘unique’ delegation
Despite the fall sit-ting of the legis-lature, Premier Christy Clark and
two cabinet ministers are off selling B.C. in India and the Far East this week. And those two trade missions couldn’t be more different.
Accompanied by 25 sen-ior executives from the industry, Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Minister Steve Thomson is in China, Japan and South Korea with one objective: develop new markets for B.C.’s forestry products.
Premier Clark, on the other hand, is being accompanied to India by Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk and a diverse group of 72 trav-elling companions, from nearly a dozen different economic sectors, two countries and two prov-inces.
Some of those sectors have sufficient numbers for some critical mass: education, LNG and the film industry. But there’s also representation from the fashion industry, decorative stones, a port authority, a modelling agency, heavy equipment, a used car dealer, a trav-el firm and even a Tim Horton’s franchisee.
One company – Canadian Western Holdings Ltd. – wouldn’t have a single Google result to its name were it not for the news release from the premier’s office last week announcing the delega-tion.
A handful of the com-panies don’t have a web-site, some don’t seem to have a listed phone num-ber anywhere in Canada.
Among the delegation, a handful of multination-als who could hardly be considered homegrown. Super natural B.C. doesn’t spring to mind when you think of Colliers, Deloitte or KPMG. Each has exten-sive operations in India already.
Another company – Affluence Capital – oper-ates out of a home-based office in Calgary, Alberta. Pyramid Wine Exports is also Calgary-based, but does broker B.C. wines.
Three companies are actually headquartered in India and any connection with B.C. – such as an office or telephone num-ber – isn’t readily apparent from their websites.
Tata Elxsi’s Visual Computing Labs is an ani-mation and visual effects studio in India. It’s part of
the Tata Group, a $100 bil-lion multinational based in Mumbai.
Another – Bangalore-based Elex i so f t Technologies – describes itself as offering the “best software training and place-ment in evergreen tech-nologies.” Outsourcing firm Vestechno is based in Bangalore as well, but has an office in Michigan.
It does make one won-der though: why would companies headquartered in India join a trade mis-sion with the B.C. gov-ernment to, of all places, India?
In addition to the nine post-secondary institu-tions on the trip, a hand-ful of research centres are among the delegation, including: IC-IMPACTS or the India-Canada Centre for Innovative
M u l t i d i s c i p l i n a r y Partnerships to Accelerate Community Transformation and Sustainability.
Can understand why they went with the acro-nym.
In the still selling the sizzle department, the LNG sector is well repre-sented with Pacific Oil and Gas, Pacific Northwest LNG, and Huu-ay-aht First Nations that’s hoping to develop a LNG facility with fellow traveller Steelhead LNG.
Godspeed to them. India currently buys LNG from Qatar, a distance of 2,885 km, and Australia, a distance of 7,060 km. The odometer to Squamish – site of Pacific Oil and Gas’s proposed Woodfibre LNG plant – clicks in at about 11,800 km.
And talk about your mixed messages. While Clark touts LNG as clean energy, she’ll be pushing coal and oil too. Colonial Coal Corporation and East West Petroleum are among the delegation. East West Petroleum has exploration concessions in New Zealand, Romania, Morocco and India, but not one in B.C. It does have former federal cabinet
minister Herb Dhaliwal on the board of directors though.
Here’s another problem with the delegation: when most people think trade, they think widgets, com-panies that manufacture a good or produce a service that can be sold to custom-ers in other countries.
While importing is an integral part of any trading relationship, most British Columbians would expect the priority of a B.C. trade mission to be on exports, because exports create jobs here in B.C. And after all, British Columbians are picking up a chunk of the tab.
Yet, ethniK Yarns – which imports hand-woven sarees from India – is on the trip. Tough to imagine they’re going to start hand weaving sarees in the Lower Mainland to export back to India any-time soon.
All of these factors con-tribute to the crux of the problem with this trip: just as too many cooks spoil the broth, too many indus-tries and too many com-peting interests can spoil a trade mission.

The proposed Site C Dam has now received environmental assess-ment approval, which
means the B.C. Liberal govern-ment will soon decide whether to greenlight its construction by BC Hydro.
Site C is a massive project. It will put B.C. taxpayers and BC Hydro rate-payers on the hook for a loan of at least $8 bil-lion. Think about that number: Eight (8!) billion dollars would pay for light rail transit to Surrey, plus rapid tran-sit along the Broadway cor-ridor, plus upgrades to Highway 1 into the Fraser Valley, plus the McKenzie interchange in Victoria, and still leave a $1 billion infra-structure fund for projects in other communities across B.C.
Before the B.C. Liberal cabinet makes its decision, Treasury Board, holders of the provincial purse strings, will meet in secret with the Minister of Energy to decide whether to recommend bor-rowing the $8 billion for Site C. Here are excerpts from that loan interview:
Treasury Board Chair Mike de Jong - How much do we have to borrow for Site C?
Minister of Energy Bill Bennett – Roughly $8 to $10 billion.
de Jong – Well, is that $8 or is that $10 billion? Remember the 90 per cent cost overrun on BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission line?
Bennett – Well, it’s not a sure thing. We haven’t done an in-depth, independent analysis of costs, but KPMG says BC
Hydro’s cost estimation meth-ods are sound – this time.
de Jong – There will be hell to pay if there are cost over-runs.
Bennett – Site C can no more come in over $10 billion, than I can have a baby.
de Jong – Yah, that’s been done before. So, what are
loan payments on $8 billion? Electricity rates are already up 28 per cent over the next five years. And that’s only because we intervened to keep them from going higher. Will you have to jack them up further to cover
this debt?Bennett – Well, I’m not
completely sure. We thought we would let the B.C. Utilities Commission look into that after we start building Site C.
de Jong – So, you want to build Site C without knowing: how much it will cost; how much we need to borrow; or whether electricity rates will have to go up to pay for it?
Bennett – Ahhhh, it doesn’t sound good when you say it like that, but yes . . . I just have a good feeling about it.
de Jong – A good feeling!? What about our triple-A credit rating? Moody’s has given us a negative outlook because of how much we’ve run up the provincial debt. How do we justify adding another 10 to 20 per cent? That’s $4 to 5,000 for every family in B.C. Aren’t there any alternatives?
Bennett – Well, Dan Potts, the former Executive Director of the BC Association of Major Power Customers, says that using natural gas-fired power
would save up to $350 mil-lion a year in electricity costs. We would also save $6.6 bil-lion in capital costs. The Clean Energy Association of B.C. and experts working for Treaty 8 First Nations say they also have alternatives that could save up to $1 billion.
de Jong – Back up! Are you saying that a $1.4-billion natural gas power plant like the Shepard facility in Calgary produces the same amount of power? That would leave $6.6 billion for other infrastructure projects across B.C. We could even buy carbon credits with the savings.
Bennett – Yes, but we can’t be sure about any of this. The Clean Energy Act – the one that we passed – prohibited the federal/provincial Site C Joint Review Panel from explor-ing key options. And the B.C. Utilities Commission hasn’t been given the authority or funding to do this research.
de Jong – Didn’t the Joint Review Panel say we might not even need all this extra power? Why rush into this? Why not take the time to examine alternatives?
Trumpets – Premier Christy Clark enters the Treasury Board meeting.
de Jong – Good morning Premier Christy, we’re discuss-ing whether it makes sense to build Site C.
Premier Clark – You mean the Christy Clark dam? It’s a no brainer. Build baby build.
Rob Botterell is a Vancouver lawyer and former bank comp-troller who recently made a presentation on the budget and debt implications of Site C to BC’s select stand-ing committee on Finance and Government Services.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - The majority of Canadian busi-
ness owners recently polled say they are opti-mistic about the future, but have no plans on growing their businesses.
The CIBC survey of 800 owners and managers found that 84 per cent have a positive outlook for their businesses, while about 44 per cent say their financial standing is better today than it was a year ago.
Yet despite the optimism, only about a third (37 per cent) are counting on expanding their businesses in the next three years.
A majority (79 per cent) of those polled also
say they are sitting on cash reserves, with 40 per cent saying they’re not earning any interest on this cash.
But of those who do plan on expansion, 60 per cent say they won’t be using cash reserves. Instead, they’ll use credit cards, loans or money out of their own pocket to fund their company’s growth.
Shelley Swanlund, vice-president of business banking and the head of small business at CIBC, says business owners should not see their cash reserves as a “rainy day” fund to be used for emergencies, but instead, a fund to help expand their businesses.

Kaslo residents celebrated the grand open-ing of their new emergency services building Saturday.
The facility next to the arena is home to the fire department, search and rescue, and emer-
gency social services.“This is a great day. I’ve been waiting for this
for ten years,” rural Kaslo regional director Andy Shadrack told the large crowd of firefighters, dignitaries, and citizens.
“It’s a wonderful facility for our needs,” said Kaslo fire chief Douglas Yee. He thanked the residents of Kaslo and Area D, who in May 2013 approved the borrowing of $1.2 million to build the facility, which will also serve Woodbury and Ainsworth. Construction began last November.
The old fire hall, built in 1971 adjacent to city hall, was meant to be a temporary structure. It was demolished last month. Former fire chief and current assistant chief Larry Badry said a 2009 operational audit found the greatest danger to Kaslo firefighters “was the fire hall itself.”
Terri Laybourne, whose husband was a volun-teer firefighter and whose daughter is a current junior firefighter, said it “hurt her heart” to see the old fire hall go, but that it was time for a new facility.
“I want to thank the community for its trust, support, and most of all wisdom for investing in fire protection services, not only for them but for their children and grandchildren,” said Regional District of Central Kootenay regional fire chief Terry Swan.
Firefighter Eli Bukowski helped construct the building in which he will serve. “I’m really happy to be part of this,” he said.
“This is what happens with co-operation,” said MP Alex Atamanenko. Federal monies were included in the construction.

Kootenay LakeUsually September is a slower month
for fishing as we wait for the water tem-peratures to drop. However, we caught a lot of fish on our trips - a nice surprise for this time of year. Mostly smaller fish, but we still seem to get the odd big one every day or two.
My last group from Philly and Chicago decided to come out with us near the end
of September. After explaining to them that this is
our slower time of year for fishing and not to have high expectations, we jumped in the boat and headed out.
Well, the fish proved me wrong. Day one, the boys landed 10 fish up to 10 pounds. And then on day 2 they landed nine fish up to 13 pounds. Very rare for such warm water and as a bonus, they got to jump into the lake to cool off at the end of the day.
So, now they are hooked and I think I’ll have a hard time convincing them to come at a different time of year. Funny how it works. That’s fishing.
While not every day has been like that, we have still been catching fish daily. Still looking forward to the next few months as the water cools and the fish become more
aggressive. Here’s hoping for a great fall-winter fishery.
What are they biting on?With the warmer lake temperatures,
most of our fish have been caught on the downriggers. Depths from 50–120 feet have produced both rainbows and bull trout. Lyman plugs have been the ticket on most days. Lucky numbers 14, 16, 69, 98, and 102 have been my favorite.
We’ve also been catching a lot of rain-bows on our favorite bucktail flies. Again, lots of small ones with the odd big one mixed in. Favorite colors have been grey/wht, brown/white, and different varia-tions of the black/white. Lucky numbers coinciding with those colors are: 210, 215, 221, 226, 228.
As the water cools and the fish become more aggressive, we should hopefully
establish a few common patterns.Derby time: The Nelson City Police
Derby/fundraiser goes this weekend, Oct. 18 and 19, while the Kaslo Rainbow Derby gets set to launch Nov. 7,8,9
Good luck to all the participants.Columbia RiverWith the nice September weather, the
walleye were pretty cooperative, as well as some good fly fishing. A nice mix of fly fishing and spin casting to break up the day. Most walleye have averaged around 16 inches, or a couple pounds, just right for the frying pan, and the rainbows have been between 15-22 inches. Great fight on a 5-weight fly rod.
This fishery should continue through October. Looking forward to some more nice days on the river and to the rest of the fall fishery.

STILL TIME TO TEE OFF
Lucchini nets PoWBY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports EditorTrail Smoke Eaters forward Jake
Lucchini was named the BCHL Player of the Week on Tuesday, while teammate Charlie Zuccarini was given honourable mention, as the Smokies took four-of-six points on a long three-games-in-three-days road trip over the weekend.
“They did well,” said coach Nick Deschenes, who was compelled to juggle lines after Dallas Calvin suffered a concus-sion last week.
He put Zuccarini with Lucchini and 16-year-old Robbie Johnson and the trio found some chemistry combining for 14 points in three games.
Both Lucchini and Zuccarini tallied six-points each with Lucchini netting two goals and two assists on Friday when he was named the game’s first star in in a 5-2 win over Powell River. The Trail native then pitched in with a goal and an assist in Surrey on Sunday in the Smokies’ 7-4 victory.
The 19-year-old, six-foot, 176-pound forward is playing in his third season with Trail and is tied with Zuccarini for third in BCHL scoring with six goals and eight assists and is just two goals shy of his eight-goal total of last season.
“He’s got the right attitude, and he put
in the time this summer, and was very committed,” said Deschenes. “It’s taken him a little bit of time maybe to realize his potential and to put in the time he needs to be successful, and so he’s done that and he’s hungry.”
Lucchini’s good play should draw some interest from NCAA scouts, as he looks to join eight other Smoke Eaters who have committed to play NCAA hockey next season.
Zuccarini, 7-7-14, notched a goal and five assists on the three-game road trip, including a three-point game in the vic-tory over Surrey. The 19-year-old rookie burst his way onto the BCHL scene with a five-goal and one assist performance in the first game of the season, an 8-3 win over Coquitlam.
“He got off like gangbusters, and he’s probably quieted down a little bit. What’s really important is consistency with his game and that he does bring a level of intensity and work ethic every game.”
The five-foot-seven, 170-pound forward was recruited out of Shelton, Conn., where he played for the Connecticut Yankees of the U.S. Premiere Hockey League.
The Smokies are off to a 5-3-0-0 start and will host the Langley Rivermen on Saturday at the Cominco Arena at 7:30 p.m.
HOCKEY
Saints look for first win B Y T I M E S S T A F F
The Selkirk College Saints will celebrate their 2013-14 BC Intercollegiate Hockey League champion-ship at its home opener on Friday night.
The Saints will hoist their second BCIHL championship banner to the rafters of the Castlegar Complex when they host the University of Eastern
Washington Eagles.However, the Saints are
off to a bit of a slow start dropping their opening match to the Eagles in a 4-3 shootout on Oct. 3, and following that up with a 6-2 setback to Simon Fraser and a 5-4 loss to Trinity Western on Friday and Saturday respectively.
The Saints are riddled with local talent includ-
ing Trail natives Mike, Jamie, and Danny Vlanich, Ryan Edwards and Logan Proulx, as well as Fruitvale’s Arie Postmus, and Jesse Knowler of Castlegar.
Puck drop for the Selkirk College Saints ver-sus Eastern Washington University goes at 7 p.m. at the Castlegar Rec Complex on Friday.

KAY BUNA MEMORIAL
Last month the Buna family and the Birchbank Ladies Club celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Kay Buna Memorial Tournament. Fourteen members of Kay’s family, including her six children, travelled to Trail to honour their Mom. From left, back: Son Gord Buna and grandson Ryan Buna. Middle row: daughter Donna Buna, and Jackie Drysdale the runner-up in Kay Buna Memorial Tournament, Anna Bisaro, sister-in-law, and Lorne Buna, son. Front row: daughter Lesley Buna, and Carolyn Caron-2014 winner of the Kay Buna Memorial Tournament. The unique format of this two-day net eclectic tourna-ment attracted 52 golfers. After Saturday’s round, only Eileen Holm, net 68, and Carol Babcock, net 70 came in under par. The ladies tried to better their scores Sunday, using the best score on each hole for their eclectic score. Caron improved by 13 strokes on Sunday, to win the tournament with a net 59, while Drysdale was runner-up with a net 60. Flight winners were: flight 1: Carol Babcock, 64 (retro); flight 2: Rose Katnich, 62; flight 3: Colleen DeRosa, 61; flight 4: Brenda O’Donaughy, 62.
T H E A S S O C I A T E P R E S SMartin Kaymer
is making a habit of beating Bubba Watson in head-to-head situa-tions, even at an exhib-ition of major cham-pions in Bermuda.
Kaymer won the PGA Grand Slam of Golf on Wednesday by surviving a wild day of lead changes. The U.S. Open champion won on the first playoff hole at Port Royal by mak-ing a 10-foot birdie and then watching Watson miss his birdie putt from 4 feet.
“I was surprised that he missed it,” Kaymer said after closing with an even-par 71.
“Obviously, you don’t want to win a golf tournament that way,
but I’ll take it.”British Open and
PGA champion Rory McIlroy closed with a 75 and was eight shots behind. Jim Furyk, the alternate in this 36-hole event for the year’s four major champions, had a 73 and was another shot behind.
Watson, the Masters championship, shot 69.
Kaymer chipped in for eagle on the 16th hole at Gleneagles to beat Watson in the Ryder Cup in another European victory. They also met in a playoff in the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, which Kaymer won on the last hole when Watson hit into the
water.Another shot into
the water cost Watson at Port Royal.
The stress didn’t end when the Grand Slam was over.
With Hurricane Gonzalo quickly approaching, the PGA of America chartered a flight to get its entire crew off the island. Officials were making sure the four players could get their flights out before the Category 4 storm arrived. It was expected to be near Bermuda early Friday, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.
The final round was so wild that Kaymer’s three-shot lead after seven holes was gone
three holes later. He quickly rebuilt a three-shot lead after 12, only for Watson to pick up a shot on each of the next three holes, leav-ing them tied going to the par-3 16th.
That’s when it turned in Watson’s favour - but only for a minute. The Masters champion made birdie and took a two-shot lead when Kaymer made bogey. But on the par-5 17th, Watson hit into the water for a bogey, and Kaymer made birdie.
Both made par on the 18th in regulation, and then returned to No. 18 for a playoff.
“It felt like nobody really wanted to win around the turn,” Kaymer said.
Kaymer won $600,000, while Watson earned $400,000.
Watson missed four good birdie chances on the front nine until he finally converted on No. 8. That was the start of 10 straight holes in which neither player tied a hole with a par.
Over the last 12 holes, Kaymer and Watson combined for eight birdies and seven bogeys.
Watson saved his most costly mistake for the playoff hole.
Kaymer wins wild Grand Slam
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SBROSSARD, Que. - Dale Weise
recalls the first time Vancouver faced Boston in the regular season after the Bruins’ seven-game vic-tory over the Canucks in the 2011 Stanley Cup final.
Early in the first period, a brawl erupted as Alex Burrows got a stick up during a line change. Weise was in the main event, trading punches with Boston’s Nathan Horton in a long battle away from the main melee.
“We had a line brawl seven minutes in,” Weise, now a mem-ber of the Montreal Canadiens, said Wednesday. “So I think the fans, the media and everybody got what they wanted there.”
The gritty winger does not expect quite the same when the Bruins visit the Bell Centre for the Canadiens home opener tonight, or that there will be any spillover of bitterness
from Montreal’s seven-game victory over their archrivals in the second round of playoffs last spring.
In the handshake line after Game 7, Boston’s Milan Lucic reportedly told Weise “I’m going to kill you next year,” and also had words for defenceman Alexei Emelin.
None of the Canadiens take Lucic literally. Weise expects a hard-fought game against a rival and divisional opponent, but not a war.
“I don’t see it being the case,” said Weise. “The media kinda blows things up a bit and the games have a hard time living up to that, so we’re just focusing on having a good game.
“Being our first home game, everyone’s excited, the crowd’s going to be jumping and everybody will be ready to go.”
Lucic took exception to Weise’s mock muscle flex in the finale, a mimic of the Bruins’ winger’s chest thumping and muscle flexing earlier in the series.
The Bruins had a game Wednesday night in Detroit, so there was no word on their approach to the rematch with Montreal, although games between the teams are always tough and sometimes nasty.
“I expect a loud crowd, I expect us to come out and play well and I expect an intense game,” added Weise. “Any time Boston plays Montreal there’s a lot of animosity.
“I don’t think there’s going to be anything extra. It’s always there.”
On Lucic, Weise said: “That’s the way he plays every night. He plays hard. He’s intense. I don’t think anything’s different if he plays us or any other team.”
That will be seen when the puck drops as the Canadiens return home after starting the season 3-1-0 on the road. The trip included three comeback victories after weak first periods followed by a 7-1 thrashing at the hands in Tampa on Monday.

Dear Annie: My grown son is an alco-holic. It has not inter-fered with his job so far, but it seems to be get-ting worse. His father drank himself to death, and I’m so worried he will go down the same path. He absolutely won’t discuss it.
Last Mother’s Day, he promised to give up drinking, but a month later, I saw him guzzle two beers at a family picnic, and I remarked on it. He said he never wanted to speak to me again, and since then, he hasn’t.
I’m not getting any younger, and I miss my son. I will be attending Al-Anon meetings, but is there anything else I can do? -- Suffering in Illinois
Dear Suffering: We’re so sorry your son has chosen not to deal with his alcoholism, but this is not some-thing you can change for him. He must do it himself. You have made a wise decision to attend Al-Anon meet-
ings. This is a wonder-ful organization for people whose lives are affected by a loved one’s drinking. The members there will give you cop-ing strategies and a shoulder to cry on, as well as advice for deal-ing specifically with your son. We hope he contacts you soon.
Dear Annie: My dear-est girlfriend insists on putting a dessert spoon at the top of the dinner plates when she hosts a formal dinner. She says that’s what etiquette demands.
I think a dessert spoon should be served with dessert instead of sitting out on the table during the entire dinner. Who’s right? --
Etiquette Challenged in Dallas
Dear Dallas: In a formal setting, dessert forks and spoons are brought out with the dessert. For an infor-mal setting, however, it is perfectly OK to place dessert utensils above the plate or with the rest of the forks and spoons (the fork on the left, closest to the plate, and the spoon on the right, closest to the plate, because those will be the last utensils used).
Dear Annie: I usu-ally agree with your advice, but I think you missed the mark with “Disappointed,” the frustrated brides-maid. She said the bride ordered hideous dresses, and when the bridesmaids tried to get her to find another, she didn’t like any of them. When “Disappointed” found her own dress, the bride didn’t like it. She then offered to drop out of the wed-ding party. At the rehearsal dinner, the
bride announced that she had a new maid of honor because the other one didn’t want to give a speech.
When a woman agrees to be a brides-maid, she agrees to the bride’s choice of dress. If they are ugly, no one attending the wedding blames the brides-maids. “Disappointed” complained that she bought three dresses she could “ill afford.” However, one of them was because the bride was trying to please her bridesmaids, and the last one was because “Disappointed” thought she had bet-ter taste than the bride. The bride was kind enough to allow her out of the maid-of-honor role, while keep-ing her in the wedding party.
As for the “lie” that the bride told at the rehearsal dinner? My guess is the bride thought it sounded better than “my best friend is too selfish to honor my choice
of bridesmaid dress.” Personally, I think “Disappointed” sounds like a bridesmaidzilla. -- Should Have Eloped
Dear Should Have: We appreciate your spin on the situation, but brides need to take their attendants’ finan-cial situations into
consideration when choosing a dress. And a thoughtful bride will ask her bridesmaids to help select the dress to begin with, prevent-ing exactly this type of rancor. As for the lie at the rehearsal dinner, we don’t understand why the bride felt it
was necessary to make a public announce-ment altogether, sur-prising (and embar-rassing) her friend. We will say, however, that an apology -- on either side -- can go a long way toward repairing a friendship. We hope they can do it.

T h e C r a n b r o o k T o w n s m a nWilf Lloyd is reported to be in stable con-
dition in Calgary, where he was airlifted after the Sunday morning attack.
Lloyd also sustained a gunshot wound to the leg. His hunting partner — Lloyd’s son-in-law , “Skeet” Podrasky — shot the bear several times in an attempt to rescue Lloyd. One of the shots hit Lloyd in the leg. He underwent surgery on Sunday, and again on Tuesday.
Darrell Orth, a friend of Lloyd’s, told Mike Turner of Global News that both men were experienced hunters, who knew the area very well. They were hunting elk on Podrasky’s family land near Fernie when the bear attacked.
Orth spoke highly of Lloyd, who he described as one who loved the outdoors, wildlife and hunting. Orth also praised the actions of Podrasky.
“For him to have the presence of mind was heroic. It appears to have saved (Lloyd’s) life. It could have ended up much worse than it did. He did something very brave in killing the bear that was attacking his father-in-law.”
Mary Giuliano, Mayor of Fernie, told Mike Turner that there has been an increase in bear sightings in Fernie over the past three to four years.
“Last year we actually had them wander-ing around town.”
Giuliano said current education pro-grams, like Bear Aware, help residents know how to react if they see a bear.
Cranbrook
Man recovering from grizzly attack and
gunshot wound
b y P a T k e l l yGrand Forks Gazette
The number of deer in Grand Forks is up from pre-vious counts according to Grand Forks City Councillor Gary Smith, head of the deer committee.
Smith explained the deer count, which is done twice a year, came in on Oct. 1 at 215 animals.
Smith said that Cranbrook initiated a deer cull when their numbers got to 97, and that with 215 deer in Grand Forks and the city
being much smaller than Cranbrook, “Then we are cer-tainly inundated.”
The councillor said he’d met with other communities dealing with the deer issues while at last month’s Union of BC Municipalities conven-tion at Whistler.
“We had a scrum with mayors from Invermere, Cranbrook and Oak Bay before meeting with the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations,” Smith said. “We came up a common ask; that
we get a commitment for a ministry supported commit-tee on urban wildlife.”
Smith quoted Minister Steve Thompson as saying, “I get your message and I com-mit to you that by the middle of November, I will have this committee struck.”
“This is very significant,” Smith said, as Grand Forks has been working on the deer issue for eight years.
According to Smith, the benefits of a provincial com-mittee would include sup-port from ministry staff and
biologists and it would bring together the chairs of the various committees that are dealing with the issue.
“So that we are all working together for a common solu-tion,” he said. “As individual communities we are left to twist in the wind when it comes to things like resour-ces and dealing with groups like PETA that would keep us tied with injunctions and court fees.”
The question of allowing a deer cull will be on the Grand Forks ballot on Nov. 15.

FROM PAGE 2“Anyone can make the shoeboxes,
whether it is community groups, churches or individuals,” said McDonnell, adding that there is an online store for putting together a box.
“You can also go online and do a shoebox there and then it will get put together. It works for people who are busy or are elderly and can’t get out and shop.”
Shoebox makers get to decide if they are making a box for a girl or a boy, which age group, and then start packing up boxes.
“We suggest things like a piece of clothing, like a t-shirt, and per-sonal hygiene products like a wash
cloth, soap or a toothbrush,” said McDonnell. “Also, hard candies, skip-ping ropes, maybe Tonka toys – all kinds of small items that could fit into a shoebox.”
Empty Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes can be picked up at First Presbyterian Church and the Alliance Church in Trail and Liberty Foods in Fruitvale.
Completed Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes can also be dropped off at the same locations, but need to be in before Nov. 20 so there is enough time before Christmas to get the shoeboxes to their new owners.
McDonnell says anyone who wants more information or is interested in helping out can call 250-367-0177.
