The gift of giving in the Greater Trail com-munity was abundant early into the holiday season when $119,000 was raised on Pledge Day last Friday.
The one-day event was held at the Waneta Plaza to raise funds and give a nod to pledges for the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital (KBRH) Health Foundation as well as various hospital projects.
All money stays local regardless of which department or cause it is earmarked for, and funds are spread across those respective areas.
“Some of the money received that day is fulfilling a pledge,” explained Lisa Pasin, the foundation's director. “And some of it is new dollars. But it's important to stress that money received remains at KBRH, Poplar Ridge and Columbia View Lodge.”
Although final tallies haven't been con-firmed, donations were received during the charitable event that will be directed toward the health foundation's current Critical Care Campaign.
That cause is very near its goal, which is to raise $500,000 to expand and upgrade equipment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Emergency Room and for the High Acuity Response Team.
There's one patient with ongoing health issues who has been in and out of the Trail hospital for three years. He knows first hand how modern technology can ease the pain and anxiety of certain specialized and high tech procedures.
Sean Rochford is a 44 -year old husband and father who for many years ran his own Trail-based stucco business.
That all changed when his appendix rup-tured in 2011. The burst organ didn't cause Rochford the immediate and extreme pain that most patients report, in fact he walked around with the condition for another six months.
“I had no idea because I had no pain,” said Rochford from his ICU bed last month.

Mark Enns from the VISAC Gallery in downtown Trail, put the finishing touches to one-of-a-kind displays last week, as part of the Small Treasures Fine Art and Crafts for Christmas sale. Hours are Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and Thursday until 6 p.m.
B y T i m e s s T a f fThe Integrated Municipal Provincial
Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) and the BC RCMP are warning potential snow-mobile thieves that “Bait sleds are every-where” and, just like with a Bait Car: steal one and go to jail.
Throughout the peak winter sea-son especially; police detachments from across British Columbia will be deploying Bait Sleds to help combat thefts that can significantly impact the rightful owner of the vehicle.
“Snowmobiles have evolved over the years where some are now as expen-sive as entry level automobiles,” says Inspector Peter Jadis, Officer in Charge of IMPACT. “Their theft can be a huge loss to the rightful owner and our pro-gram is designed to both prevent thefts and capture criminals.”
Kris Clark, media relations for the Southeast District of the RCMP, told the Trail Times that Bait sleds are also used in the Trail-Castlegar area.
“The program is active across B.C. and includes your region.”
Similar to other Bait vehicles, if a sled is stolen police are able to remotely track it in order to recover the snow-mobile and arrest those responsible for its theft.
“The Bait Sled is another great tool we use to combat auto crime. It works as both a deterrent as well as enforce-ment,” says Cpl. Tom Blakney of the Revelstoke RCMP. “Enforcement isn’t really the key goal though, as preven-tion can have even bigger long-term effects.”
Thefts are often crimes of opportun-
ity and proper education of snowmobile owners in basic theft prevention tech-niques can go a long way in helping them protect their property and make their sled less attractive to thieves.
• Park your vehicles in well-lit areas with good visibility and lots of pedes-trian traffic
• Mark your sleds with an identifica-tion number
• Invest in anti-theft devices for both your tow vehicle and snowmobile
• Record all identifying information on your equipment including sleds, trucks and trailers and keep it separate from your machines
• Securely lock all of your equipment“Possessing a stolen sled is also a
criminal offence,” adds Cpl. Blakney. “Help us combat crime in your area and report stolen property to your local police or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers.”
Proper documentation can help any sled owner, especially when it comes to returning recovered property that had been stolen.

Intensive training, adrena-line rushes and constantly being in standby mode are all in a days work for the team from South Columbia Search and Rescue (SAR).
The physical readiness of SAR's 30 volunteers, all whom hold regular jobs, was called to action this week for one of the most difficult searches in recent memory.
Ymir resident Edward Perello was reported missing from the Whitewater ski hill Tuesday after the 47-year old went skiing alone early Monday morning and didn't return home.
He was located Thursday and extracted from his loca-tion then taken to a waiting ambulance.
Perello's medical condition was listed as unknown at press time, but the search team indi-cated he appeared to be doing well, according to Nelson RCMP Sgt. Leanne Tuchscherer.
“If it were not for the infor-mation provided by an individ-ual who spoke to Mr. Perello and provided us with a dir-ection of travel, he may not have been located in time or at all,” said Tuchscherer “Once again another fantastic effort
put forth by SAR and all indi-viduals who contributed to his safe return.”
SAR groups from South Columbia, Rossland and Kaslo were dispatched to assist the Nelson team late Tuesday, and stayed on the mountain until midnight, explained Mike Hudson, South Columbia's manager, safety officer and president.
His team of nine ground searchers, including snow-sho-ers and skiers were out the first night in the coordinated effort but only two volunteers, with specific training, were sent in the following morning due to the challenging landscape.
Advanced skiers from dif-ferent teams searched through what Hudson describes as abso-lutely terrible conditions.
“They said it's some of the most difficult terrain they've ever seen,” he noted. “There's rocks, boulders, logs and large pools of wet water. I commend the people who went up there trudging through because it definitely was a tough go.”
SAR teams from Revelstoke and Golden joined the search Thursday, giving local mem-bers an opportunity to rehy-drate and rest if the search had to continue or in case of another emergency situation.
“I went up there last night to speak to people in command and discussed what was hap-pening for today (Thursday),” said Hudson. “We are pretty much always on call and if anything changes we have to be ready to go.”
Although ground crews weren't called out, advanced members with training in rope rescue remained on alert if extraction from the mountain was warranted or if the oper-ations manager needed a break.
“It's tough when you do multi-day searches because you exhaust your local teams,” explained Hudson, a Teck work-er by day. “But that is why we are constantly upgrading our training and keeping on top of the skills because we are on-call 365 days of the year.”
The South Columbia group generally receives about three primary calls a year that in the past, included searching for a missing hunter, swift water rescues, medical calls and ava-lanche extractions.
At the helm of any search and rescue is the operations manager, a position Hudson has held for two years. The volunteer job requires inten-sive training and certification through the Justice Institute in Vancouver.B y T i m e S S T a f f
A Fruitvale family is trying to piece together Christmas after a break-and-enter on Wednesday.
Sometime between noon and 2:30 p.m. a home on Moller Road in Fruitvale was the scene where the family’s belongings and Christmas presents were stolen while the inter-ior of the home was maliciously damaged, said a police press release.
The family reported that a stran-ger had knocked on their door the previous day, claiming to be look-ing for his friend. It is not certain that the two events are related, but police are asking people to report any similar suspicious activities.
Anyone with information regard-ing this break-in is encouraged to call the Trail and Greater District RCMP at 250-364-2566.

District DetachmentIt’s that time of year again and
the holiday season is a time for fun and festivity and shopping for the perfect Christmas Gift. Here are a few precautions that people can take when out to do their shopping to avoid heartaches and disappoint-ments.
Parents are reminded to keep an eye on their little ones and ensure that you have a plan and your chil-dren understand what to do if in the event your children become separ-ated from you.
As much as shoppers see the holiday season as an opportunity to find some great deals, pickpockets and thieves also see this as an opportune time.
Men should carry their wallets in their front pockets as opposed to their back pockets or jackets.
Women should carry their purs-es close to their body but should not wrap their purse straps around themselves. Doing so could cause you to be dragged down to the ground in the event that your purse is snatched.
Never leave your purchases unattended, even for a short period.
Keep watchful eye this season

Cheyenne Learn was found guilty of second-degree murder by Justice Dev Dley to conclude his trial in the shooting death of Tammy Ellis in December 2007.
Learn was previously con-victed of second degree murder in his first trial in 2009, but that was overturned on appeal in 2013 and he was awarded a new trial.
Second degree murder car-ries a life sentence, but crown and defence counsel will appear before Dley again in January to argue parole eligibility, which generally ranges anywhere from 10-25 years.
Dley made his judgement following an analysis of cred-ibility of the evidence and testi-mony submitted by all the wit-nesses during the trial.
“Mr. Learn shot and killed Tammy Ellis,” said Dley, as he opened his ruling. “The issue is whether it was second-degree murder or manslaughter.”
He concluded elements of testimony from Learn and from his ex-girlfriend were unreli-able. The ex-girlfriend’s name is protected by a publication ban and will referred to as B.L.
He said there were discrep-ancies from the first trial to this past one in regards to testimony from B.L. and Learn noting that it is unrealistic to assume that memory gets better with time. Dley also said that B.L. was evasive and argumentative dur-ing her questioning, and had misled police in her statement to police describing the nature of her absences from the resi-dence in which she trafficked cocaine.
Dley also noted inconsisten-
cies in Learn’s testimony, not-ing that there were additional details his his version of events that weren’t on record in the first trial.
Learn had testified about his vision being a grey haze and that Ellis’ voice was like being in a tunnel during an argument directly before the shooting—details which never came up in the 2009 trial because Learn claimed he wasn’t asked about them.
“I do not accept that import-ant evidence was overlooked because he wasn’t asked,” said Dley, adding Learn had a select-ive memory on the night of the shooting due to his gross intoxication.
He concluded that Learn’s testimony was not credible when it came to details on the shooting and his actions before, during and afterwards.

Backers of a third large oil refinery pro-posal for B.C.’s North Coast made some high-profile appoint-ments Wednesday, naming former Assembly of First Nations national chiefs Shawn Atleo and Ovide Mercredi as advisors to their team.
Pacific Future Energy, propos-ing what it calls the world’s greenest refinery near Prince Rupert, announced the appointments Wednesday at a Vancouver Board of Trade event hosted by Stockwell Day, the former Conservative trade minister who has been the group’s public face since August.
Pacific Future’s proposal is similar to Kitimat Clean, a refin-ery bid launched in 2012 by David Black,
chairman of Black Press. Both would be constructed from modules manufac-tured offshore to produce diesel, gaso-line and other fuels for sale, avoiding the transport of heavy oil by tankers to reach export markets.
The third proposal is called Eagle Spirit Energy, headed by aboriginal author and lawyer Calvin Helin with financial back-ing from the Aquilini Group, the Vancouver family business that owns the Vancouver Canucks and exten-sive real estate and farm holdings.
Eagle Spirit is proposing a pipeline from the Alberta oil sands to an upgrader that would produce synthetic crude oil for export by tankers, likely from the Prince Rupert area.
Black announced last week that engin-
eering firm Hatch Ltd. has completed a design and feasibility study for a refinery at an estimated cost of $22 billion, making it one of the 10 biggest in the world.
Black said in an interview he sees obvious similar-ities with the Pacific Future proposal, which describes new technology and car-bon capture to reduce its environmental impact. Kitimat Clean proposes a new refining process that avoids production of petroleum coke, a coal-like byproduct of conventional heavy oil refining that is used in steel making.
Black said the entry of Pacific Future, headed by an executive of Mexican conglomerate Grupo Salinas, shows the business case for a B.C. refinery is sound and there is capacity for more than one
plant.All proposals for
B.C. North Coast refining require oil transport to the coast, either by rail or in some version of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline pro-ject, which received a federal environmental certificate this year and awaits approval by the federal cabinet.
All proposals also face opposition to transport of heavy oil. Pacific Future has appointed Atleo as a senior advisor for partnerships, months after Premier Christy Clark appointed him as an advisor for dia-logue between First Nations, government and industry.
Black said his next steps include nego-tiating “acceptable compensation” for his project with the Kitselas and Haisla First Nations for use of their traditional territory.
B.C. oil refinery backers move ahead
T h e P e a c e a r c h N e w sThe mother of a child found
dead in a vehicle in South Surrey Wednesday has been charged with second-degree murder.
Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team confirmed the charge against Lisa Deanne Batstone, 41, just after 11 a.m. Thursday.
Batstone was to appear in Surrey Provincial Court today for a bail hearing.
Eight-year-old Teagan Batstone was found deceased just after noon Wednesday, in the trunk of a car in the 13900-block of 35A Avenue.
Teagan was Batstone’s only child, Pound said.
Her father, Gabe Batstone, shared his grief on Twitter today at noon: “Life will never be the same after losing my daughter to murder,” he writes.
“We are devastated by the loss of our beautiful Teagan. Beloved daughter, sister who deserved so much more.”
An autopsy scheduled for today is hoped to confirm the cause of death.
Meanwhile, grief counsellors are on scene at a Surrey ele-mentary school this morning.
Pound told a news con-ference just before 5 p.m. Wednesday that the car was initially investigated as part of a minor motor-vehicle incident.
One woman was arrested at the scene.

Agassiz will not participate in the Communities in Bloom program in 2015.
Participating in the program runs at a cost of just over $11,000 a year, a recent staff report to council noted.
Much of the work
completed by District of Kent (DoK) staff each year is work that is being done anyway, Kerry Hilts, director of community servi-ces said, and not par-ticipating in the pro-gram won’t bring the community’s image down in any way.
N e w l y - e l e c t e d councillor Sylvia Pranger was assigned
to liaise with the CiB committee when portfolios were hand-ed out at last week’s inaugural meeting. At this week’s regular council meeting, she said the community is beautiful, largely in part due to the hard work put in by DoK staff.
But being a beauti-ful town is enough reward of its own.
“I don’t think we need to be a part of a contest to keep that up,” she said.
Over the past eight years, the District has participated in five Communities in Bloom contests, often earning praise from the visiting judges, and even receiving the top honour, the Five Bloom award.
Council voted unanimously in favour of not par-ticipating, and the District will maintain its Five Bloom status.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - A num-
ber of major themes echoed through the turbulent fall session of Parliament that comes to an end this week. Here is a quick look at some of them:
Politics: With the next scheduled fed-eral election less than a year away, the Conservatives were working to hold their majority, while the New Democrats pondered byelec-tion omens and the Liberals piled their political eggs in Justin Trudeau’s basket.
There were six byelections held in June and November, and the Conservatives held onto four seats - despite the oft-repeated maxim that byelections tend to go against a party in power. The Liberals held one and picked up another. The NDP, however, saw popular support plummet. The party finished third in Trinity-Spadina, which they had won
with 54.5 per cent of the vote in 2011. In Whitby-Oshawa, the party fell to 8.1 per cent of the vote from 22.3.
Finance: Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government touted the imminent return to a budget surplus, while rolling out a series of targeted goodies, including a new child benefit, tax breaks and income-splitting for families, EI premium cuts for small business and new infrastructure spending pledges. Plunging oil prices are a growing cloud on the government horizon, however.
The NDP and Tom Mulcair pledged to bring in a multibil-lion-dollar program of $15-a-day child care. That came just before Quebec announced changes to its own cherished $7-a-day program, saying it would jack up prices in a sliding scale.
Trudeau con-demned income-split-
ting, but was short on details of his own plans. He did say he wants to stress infra-structure and help for the middle class as the basis of his fiscal policies. He suggested Harper’s tax breaks are wrong and that he might reverse some.
Terror: Terrorism re-emerged as a pol-itical issue in the fall with the brutal rise of ISIL in Iraq and Syria and disturb-ing attacks at home. The Conservatives dispatched six CF-18 fighter-bombers to participate in air-strikes against ISIL. This came over the objections of the NDP and Liberals, who both argued for more humanitarian aid and against mil-itary action. Trudeau scorned Harper’s use of jets as a macho ges-ture.
Attacks in Quebec and Ottawa which left two soldiers dead and saw a shootout in the Centre Block of Parliament sparked
a debate over what constitutes terror-ism. Were the attacks the work of deranged individuals, as the opposition argued, or terrorist-inspired assaults which should be warnings for the future, as the govern-ment claimed?
S c a n d a l s : Anonymous accusa-tions of misconduct, which led Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau to suspend two of his MPs, sparked an onerous discussion of harassment on Parliament Hill and how to deal with it. The debate sits stalled, with no clear way for-ward and two political careers in limbo.
The government’s handling of veter-ans benefits had the opposition demand-ing that Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino resign or be fired. Each govern-ment effort to extri-cate itself from the political mire just seemed to dig it in deeper.
An April trial date was set for disgraced Sen. Mike Duffy on charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery. That will resurrect the whole Senate expense scan-dal just five months before the scheduled election.
Foreign Affairs: Although Harper has long been accused of ignoring foreign policy and scorning the United Nations, the autumn saw his stock rise internation-ally. Amid Russian aggression against Ukraine, Harper trav-elled to Kyiv to show his support and won international notice for a public rebuke of Russia’s Vladimir Putin at a sum-mit in Australia. He and Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird worked behind the scenes as Michaelle Jean was selected to lead the Francophonie. The government also contributed money, vaccines, equipment and people to fight the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
The opposition nagged about some details, but generally left the government’s foreign efforts alone.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SSUFFIELD, Alta. - The prov-
ince is targeting more elk in southeastern Alberta with the hope of reducing a growing herd that has been damaging crops around a military base.
The government and the Department of National Defence will allow hunters to
kill up to 500 more female elk at Canadian Forces Base Suffield in February.
Earlier this year, Alberta issued tags that would allow hunters to kill up to 600 female elk on the base this fall.
Hunters who win a draw for licences will be allowed to shoot up to two animals each.
Ranchers who have been lobbying the provincial and federal governments to hold a roundup to reduce the herd to a manageable size.
About 200 elk were brought to the base in the 1990s to introduce grazing animals to the region, but the herd has since swollen to up to 8,000.

OPINION
The costly political price of oilAlberta Premier
Jim Prentice is a worried man. Oil prices are plun-
ging and his carefully laid plans for remaking Alberta – as well as the recovery of the Alberta Progressive Conservative dynasty – are under threat.
The ‘$64,000 Question’ is: why are oil prices plun-ging now?
According to the eco-nomic professionals, it’s all about supply and demand.
This simplistic answer is classic economic logic; the problem is it’s not true. Or more correctly, it’s not entirely true.
The real truth is, global oil supplies have been surging since frack-ing volumes began to rise dramatically in 2005 and, more particularly, since massive fracking volumes started to hit energy mar-kets in the second quarter 2011.
On the demand side, it’s been obvious for years that oil prices were defy-ing the laws of (economic) gravity. With the excep-tion of a few Emerging economies, the global economy is flat; it has never fully recovered from the financial crisis
of 2008. If supply and demand
were the only factors influencing oil prices, they would have collapsed long ago with other com-modities.
So, again, why are oil prices plunging now?
First, we must admit that – despite being inun-dated by economists’ propaganda – the simple supply/demand fantasy is for schoolboys (and girls). It has no place in the real world of oil pricing.
Global oil markets are and always have been ‘managed’ – that is, controlled by a cabal of powerful forces. In the ’50s oil prices were (open-ly) controlled by multi-national oil companies; in the ’70’s it was the produ-cer cartel OPEC that made prices; today oil prices are manipulated behind the scenes by huge investment banks employing Enron-like tactics, including ‘Volumetric Production Payments’ and extensive ‘Dark Inventories’.
Ironically, the interests of these big players gener-ally align. It’s been their effective manipulation of the market over the past few years that kept prices high, in the US$100
range. So, what happened to
change all this? Well, to explain recent
price movements, we must open our eyes to the (not-so-subtle) polit-ical manipulation of oil markets.
It is no coincidence that world oil prices began to slip at the very moment Vladimir Putin started violently grabbing chunks of the Ukraine. Although there was some initial hesitation after the Russian expropriation of Crimea, the gloves came off U.S. policy with the shooting down of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17) in July of 2014.
What’s the plan? Simple, bankrupt Russia by starving it of its energy related export revenues.
Russia is a VERY ser-
ious threat to global order, and after repeat-ed attempts to negotiate settlements with Putin, or to use selected sanc-tions to reign in Russia’s military adventurism, the U.S. in partnership with other Western allies has decided to play their strongest card, to drive down the price of oil. How? By unravelling the support systems that have kept oil prices unnaturally high.
Will it work? Well, the Russia state
is indeed highly depend-ent on oil revenues. As U.S. Senator John McCain has famously said: “Look, Russia is a gas station masquerading as a coun-try”. And although the Russian steppes are lit-tered with the corpses of those who under-estimat-ed Russia (including the armies of Adolf Hitler and Napoleon), there’s a lot of truth to what McCain is saying.
Clearly, the oil price card is working. Russia’s economy is suffering, unfortunately, it is also pushing a highly-volatile Putin into a dark corner. He’s a ruthless despot, and – true to form – he came out swinging in his
recent speech at Valdai. It was a classic case of Orwellian ‘double speak’ (i.e. everything is the reverse of what he says).
According to Putin “we did not start this.” The United States is directly to blame for undermin-ing global stability and triggering Russia’s (reluc-tant) intervention in the Ukraine. He warned that the U.S. is trying to “remake the whole world” based on its own interests. What he did not mention, of course, is the collapse of the Russian economy, which is already in reces-sion and could be headed for worse.
If I were Jim Prentice, I wouldn’t hold out hope for a quick return to ‘normal’ oil prices. The world is headed for an unpredictable new Cold War, against a vicious and very determined foe. The only thing we do know is if it will change the energy game completely.

It matters not who we are or what we are, but only that we are. Nothing is more apparent in bearing that out than the work done by a hospital nursing staff.
True also are the words of the immortal song classic, “People who need people, are the luckiest people in the world.”
Or putting it another way and using a sports analogy to do so, they are like a grounds crew.
And so goes this life line… the expertise of a medical team would then take over… it’s a hand in glove situation where everybody plays a vital part in the healing process gradually unfolding.

There’s no free ride when it comes to generat-ing energy. Even the cleanest sources have
environmental consequences. Materials for all power-gen-erating facilities have to be obtained and transported, and infrastructure must be built, maintained and eventually decommissioned. Wind turbines take up space and can harm wild-life. Hydro floods agricultural land and alters water cycles.
That’s why conservation is the best way to reduce energy-c o n s u m p -tion impacts. Reductions in energy use and investment in energy-efficiency technolo-gies are so significant that the International Energy Agency refers to conservation as the “first fuel”.
No matter how good we get at conserving, though, we’ll always need energy, so we must find ways to employ the least damaging technologies and reduce negative effects. We know the world’s preferred, and currently cheapest, method to generate power — burning fos-sil fuels like coal, oil and gas – is the most destructive, causing pollution, global warming and massive environmental damage during extraction, transport, refining and use. And supplies are becoming more difficult to obtain and will eventually run out.
In contrast, wind power doesn’t create pollution or global warming emissions, is affordable and will never run out. Improvements to power-generation capacity, efficiency and affordability will continue to boost its importance in the energy mix.
But we must ensure tur-bines are installed in locations and using methods that reduce negative impacts on humans
and wildlife. Thanks to ongoing research
and testing, wind power has come a long way in a relatively short time. Wildlife behaviour studies, along with techno-logical improvements, have significantly reduced harm to birds and bats, and better siting has reduced impacts on other
wildlife and habitat. Wind power genera-tion is far safer for birds, bats and other ani-mals than burn-ing fossil fuels.
But what about wind power’s effects on humans, a key argument used by oppon-ents? Turbines,
especially older ones, can be noisy, and some people find them unsightly – although I prefer the sight of wind farms to smokestacks and smog. Many problems can be addressed by locating quieter turbines far enough from human habitation to reduce impacts.
As for health effects, a recent comprehensive Health Canada study confirms previ-ous research: Although people report being annoyed by wind turbines, there’s no measur-able association between wind turbine noise and sleep disturb-ance and disorders, illnesses and chronic health conditions, or stress and quality-of-life issues. A 2013 Australian report concluded people living near wind installations where anti-wind campaigns were active were more likely to report health problems, suggesting some issues may be psycho-logical.
Health Canada says more research may be needed and we shouldn’t downplay the annoy-ance factor. Again, improve-ments in technology and proper siting will help overcome many problems. And there’s no doubt that fossil fuel development and use – from bitumen mining,
deep-sea drilling, mountain-top removal and fracking to wasteful burning in single-user vehicles – are far more annoy-ing and damaging to human health than wind power and other renewable-energy tech-nologies.
Wind energy is also becom-ing more affordable and reli-able. Denmark gets 34 per cent of its electricity from wind and Spain 21 per cent, making wind their largest electricity source. Portugal gets more than 20 per cent, Ireland 16 and Germany 9 per cent. All have much high-er population densities than Canada. Overall, wind power contributes about 4 per cent to worldwide electricity genera-tion.
Improvements in grid and storage technologies also mean wind and other renewable tech-nologies are increasingly feas-ible and desirable, especially as costs continue to drop. Investing in wind and other renewable energy is also good for jobs and the economy and can create greater stability in energy pricing than relying on volatile fossil fuel markets.
Total global investment in wind energy in 2012 was more than $80 billion, creat-ing 670,000 jobs. According to a Blue Green Canada report, investing the $1.3 billion the oil industry gets in annual federal taxpayer subsidies in renew-able energy and conservation could create 18,000 to 20,000 jobs, compared to fewer than 3,000 in oil and gas. And we can’t ignore the many relat-ed cost impacts of fossil fuel development, from health-care to infrastructure.
To reduce global green-house gas emissions at a pace and scale that experts agree is necessary to avoid increasing catastrophic effects of global warming, we need a mix of renewable energy. Wind power will play a large role.

An editorial from the St. John’s Telegram
You can understand why Stephen Harper is a little gun shy about Senate appointments these days. A couple of his previous choices blew up in his face.
One of them — former CTV biggie Mike Duffy — is still blowing up in his face. It’s like a slow motion explosion — as Duffy promises quite a finale when he appears in court in April on 31 fraud-related char-ges.
Then there’s Pamela Wallin, who was also a little too greedy with the public purse. And Patrick Brazeau, who not only padded his expense account, but racked up some domes-
tic violence charges for good measure.
It’s all too much to bear for the prime minister. In Markham, Ont., over the week-end, he admitted he doesn’t have the appetite to fill what will be 17 vacancies in the Red Chamber by the end of this month.
“I would just say that from the government standpoint, we’re able to continue to pass our legislation through the Senate, so from our stand-point, the Senate of Canada is continuing to fulfil its func-tions.”
Wait a minute. The Senate’s “function” is to pass govern-ment legislation?
What monstrous slip of
tongue is this? Or does Harper now believe the Senate’s main purpose is to simply rubber stamp government legisla-tion? Don’t we already have a Governor General for that?
So, to heck with the cham-ber of sober second thought. So long, elected and effective. Let’s call the whole thing off.
This could be yet another signal that Harper doesn’t expect to be in office next year. Perhaps he intends to throw in the towel before voters even get to decide.
Either way, the Senate will always be there, biding its time, waiting for the next sucker to come along with reform in his heart and big promises on his tongue.
No rush to put bums in Senate seats

FROM PAGE 1“What happened is that I became
septic and came in here at my sick-est. Without the really good care and the newer equipment in here, I wouldn’t be here right now.”
Since the campaign launched in August 2013, the foundation has been able to order new upgraded equipment as the donated dollars added up to $425,000 last month.
Improved mattresses for critical-ly ill patients, specially designed ICU beds, a new ER trauma stretcher and an intravenous warming pod are on the campaign’s list that is meant to improve overall patient care.
“This campaign has been very positive for KBRH and the entire Kootenay Boundary as we have been able to purchase equipment throughout the campaign,” said Pasin.
“Thus, providing immediate ben-efits for patients and health care workers receiving and administer-ing care in the critical care depart-
ments.” There’s about $160,000 of new
equipment on site and another $145,000 on order, noted Pasin, adding that if donations exceed $500,000, all additional funds will remain in critical care to further purchase additional life saving equipment.
For more information and to donate, call the KBRH foundation at 364.3424 or email info@kbrh-healthfoundation. ca.
Formerly called the Trail Regional Hospital Foundation, the KBRH foundation is in its 26th year of raising money to advance health care in the Kootenay Boundary.
Foundation revenue, over $12 million to date, is generated through private and corporate donors.
Funding priorities include rais-ing endowed gifts and annual funds to support health care equipment needs, staff education, and special initiatives to enhance health care through the Trail hospital and other Kootenay Boundary facilities.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - Don Cherry’s ward-
robes are overflowing.The “Hockey Night in Canada”
fashion plate keeps all his eye-pop-ping suits. Not out of vanity but out of necessity. He gave one away to charity some years ago and then was immediately flooded with requests with more. Unable to fulfil all of them, he opted to hang on to them so he’s not accused of favouritism.
That comes at a storage cost.“I’ve got a bedroom full of suits
and I’ve got every closet full of suits. My wife (Luba) has one little closet,”
the 80-year-old Cherry said in a recent interview.
“I don’t wear them for two or three years and people kind of forget them. Some they don’t forget. The pink one (he wore at Rob Ford’s mayoral swearing-in) they never forget.”
Cherry, who still gets the materi-al for his suits from Fabricland, has no idea how many suits or shirts he has.
And he is grateful for his wife’s patience when it comes to his trade-mark clothes. “She puts up with it anyhow.”
T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SLOS ANGELES - A former Miss
America who went on to appear in movies with Elvis Presley and make documentary films around the world has died.
A spokesman for the University of Mississippi confirmed Mary Ann Mobley Collins died Tuesday in Beverly Hills, California, after a battle with breast cancer. She was 77.
Danny Blanton of Ole Miss said Mobley Collins was close friends with a former chancellor of the university. She graduated from Ole Miss in 1958, the same year she won the Miss America crown.
She became an actress a few years later, with credits includ-
ing such TV shows as “General Hospital” and “Perry Mason,” and films such as “Girl Happy” with Presley and “Three on a Couch” with Jerry Lewis.
It was on that film she met her husband, actor Gary Collins, who died in 2012.
Mobley Collins was also a docu-mentarian, travelling to Cambodia, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Somalia, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Sudan to make movies about the struggles of homeless and starving children.
She and her husband were also active humanitarians, raising money and awareness for organ-izations such as the March of Dimes and the United Cerebral Palsy Association.

Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.“I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heal” (Gen 3:15).Today we celebrate the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary; that is, that she was conceived without the stain of Original Sin as a special favor of God through the merits of the death of her Son by way of anticipation to prepare her to be a worthy mother of God.In the sin of Adam, not only Adam and Eve but all their descendents as well fell. Adam and Eve lost their immortality and became mortal (Gen. 2:17). They were not able to bequeath their immortality to their descendents, because they had lost it. By sinning they also died spiritually; that is, they became alienated from God.But before expelling them from the Garden of Eden, God promised them that a Savior would come from the descendents of the woman who would vanquish the descendent of the serpent (Satan). God gave us this promise in cursing the serpent. The descendent of the woman will bruise the head of the descendent of the serpent.This prophecy was fulfilled by Jesus Christ who vanquished Satan and the death that he had brought upon Adam and Eve. The one sinful act of Adam made us all sinners, condemned to death and alienated from God; and the one righteous act of Jesus Christ on the cross made us righteous, vanquished our death, and united us to God (Rom. 5:19). By being born, we inherit
the sin of Adam and become sinners, condemned to death; and by being reborn through faith, we are made righteous and conquer death. The one righteous act of Christ on the cross substituted for us and served our death sentence for the sin of Adam and for our own sins. Christ thereby vanquished our spiritual death, that is, our alienation from God; our eternal death in hell; and also our physical death, transforming it into the gateway into eternal life in the light with God. In short, Christ vanquished our death by his death.God’s mission in the world is centered on the cross of Christ that liberated humanity from physical death, spiritual death, and eternal death; and Christ gave his Church the mission to proclaim this. Our mission, therefore, is to proclaim salvation from sin and death through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross and to invite all to repentance, conversion, and faith in Christ for a new life in God, a conscience cleansed of sin, and a sure hope for eternal life in the light with God after death.Mary, by a special favor of God, through the anticipated merits of the death of her Son, in order to prepare her to be a worthy mother of God, was conceived completely free from Original Sin and its effects: spiritual death (alienation from God), eternal death in hell, and physical death. In addition, God also preserved her from all actual sins throughout her life. She is the model of a completely redeemed human person, what we all hope to be in heaven.

Hyundai composes a memorable new SonataHyundai is a company that pushes the envelope in terms of styling, vehicle content, engine choices and value, mak-ing others carmakers take notice. The last generation Hyundai Sonata, released in 2011, is a perfect example. The “Fluidic Sculpture” design language really set the pace for the mid-size class of cars. The competitors that followed, like the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, all took styling chances after that Sonata was introduced. The same too for the engine development, including smaller turbocharged 4-cyl-inder engines and fuel saving direct injection technology; compared with the competition all this technology was ahead of the curve. Now, just a few years later, the Sonata gets another refresh, making this car more compelling than ever.
LooksAs dynamic as the Fluidic Sculpture design was, it didn’t age well. Cars that are heavily styled can date quickly. With this in mind, Hyundai has backed away from the fluid approach to a more sculpted design that shares some styling cues from the top-of-range Hyundai Genesis. The front features a squarer grille opening, edgier bumper and front chin-spoiler. The base model is fitted with the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine has and 16-inch or 17-inch alloy wheels with LED daytime running lights, halogen headlamps or HID lights on the limited trim. The performance oriented 2.0 Turbo Sport model, seen above, comes with a two-toned front spoiler, 18-inch wheels, standard HID headlamps, quad exhaust tips and a lower diffuser on the rear bumper. The top trim levels of both the 2.4L and 2.0 Sport have a blacked-out section of the front grille which signifies the car comes with adaptive cruise control and a forward collision warning system.
InsideAs with the outside, the interior has been given a total refresh, no basic tweaking here. The same, more muted design is at work here too, now the all-new centre console is wider and flatter than the last car. This makes the car feel more open and airy, the brushed aluminum surround is bright and the way the buttons and dials are fitted is second to none. Fit and finish is one area that Hyundai does as well, if not better than most. Even on the base $23,999 GL model, the Sonata comes with standard heated front seats, back-up camera, Bluetooth, 5-inch radio/backup screen, satellite radio and USB
connectivity. The $26,299 GLS adds a power driver’s seat, heated leather steering wheel and heated rear seats, and these are just the two entry-level cars. All cars now come with additional 2.5 cm of rear legroom and a very useful trunk that is expandable, thanks to a 60/40 split rear seat.
DriveBoth the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine and the 2.0L turbo have been carried over from the last model but they have been modified to produce better torque delivery and fuel economy. Hyundai has dropped the horsepower output from 198hp to 185hp in the 2.4L and limited the torque to 178hp. The 2.0L turbo also receives a horsepower drop from 274hp to 245hp and the torque drops from 268 lb.-ft to 160 lb.-ft. Hyundai claims that the torque is lower in the RPM range and the fuel consumption is improved. The experience behind the wheel of the turbo is still very invigorating but not as hectic as the last model, it delivers a more usable driving experience. Power is smooth and refined; the turbo feels like a V6 without the accompanying fuel bill.
VerdictHyundai has done it again, delivering a very attrac-tive car, full of features, at an attractive price. 2.4L models range from $23,999 to $32,999 in the top Limited trim. This model has most of the features found in the top 2.0L turbo but without the added power. The base 2.0L turbo starts at $30,999 and the top Ultimate model, seen here, is $34,799. Both the Limited and Ultimate get the forward collision warn-ing system and lane departure safety features, plus they also get adaptive cruise control. For 2015, the Sonata is a big step foreword in design. The added safety features will be attractive and the constant pushing-of-the-envelope from Hyundai is welcome.

The rain and windstorms have started and it won’t be long before the temperatures start to dip.
Northern BC and the Interior have already experienced the cold. At the coast, it seems every year the first snowfall creates chaos and adjusting to the conditions is
a big challenge for many people. That said; driving in the winter season generally presents more problems than driving in other seasons wherever you call home.
The vehicle and the driver must be prepared as well as possible to cope with these kinds of driving conditions. In winter driving, braking and stopping the vehicle, of course, cause the most difficult moments. The tires play a critical role in stopping the vehicle, and they
need even more care and attention than in the other seasons. Most SUVs have a passenger car tire classification with M+S stamped on the sidewall, for Mud and Snow and are considered all-season tires. If it is not, your

drivewayBC.caA12 www.trailtimes.ca Friday, December 12, 2014 Trail Times
vehicle must be fitted with tires suitable for any type of climate, even the most severe ones. In winter the pressure of the tire must also be controlled more frequently. This is because a reduc-tion of the outside temperature causes a contraction of the air inside the tire, accelerating the normal and gradual pressure loss process by a value around 1-2 PSI for each 5° C decrease in temper-ature.Contrary to popular opinion, a low-er inflation pressure than normal does not improve tire traction on snow. It makes them much more
liable to damage. Always remember that in any season and with any temperature, insufficient pressure is always the main cause of tire damage. Here is some advice to always bear in mind it is during winter driving conditions: Use brakes carefully. Brake early. Brake correctly. It takes more time and distance to stop in icy conditions. Watch for slippery bridge decks, even when the rest of the pave-ment is in good condition. Bridge decks will ice up sooner than the pavement. Do not use the cruise control in winter conditions. Even roads that appear clear can have sudden slippery spots and the short touch of your brakes to de-
activate the cruise control feature can cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Don’t get overconfi-dent in your 4x4 vehicle. Remem-ber that your four-wheel drive vehicle may help you get going quicker than other vehicles but it won’t help you stop any faster.Many 4x4 vehicles are heavier than passenger vehicles and actually may take longer to stop. Don’t get overconfident in your 4x4 vehicle’s traction. Your 4x4 can lose trac-tion as quickly as a two-wheel drive vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes, do not pump them in attempting to stop. The right way is to step on the brake
pedal and steer against the slide. Look further ahead in traffic than you normally do. Actions by cars and trucks will alert you more
quickly to problems and give you a split second extra time to react safely. [email protected]

A Winlaw business owner is hoping to offer door-to-door compost pick-up for West Kootenay homes and business-es starting in 2015.
For the last four years, Todd Veri of MyCrobz Bacteria Solutions has cultured micro-organisms for Bokashi com-posting and provided services to local festivals. Now he wants to help prevent an estimated 350 tonnes of food waste generated in this area each week from going to the landfill.
“When I started Bokashi, I saw the benefits it could bring to not just backyard com-posting but the municipal level eventually,” he says. “But I had to do a lot of testing before I could push it to a commercial level.”
The proposed business, called Compost Bandit, would see customers each supplied with two or more air-tight con-tainers, ranging from 13-litre buckets for apartments and sin-gle-family homes to 210-litre drums for restaurants.
Microbial inoculant is sprin-kled on the compost as the con-tainers fill up. Once full, they’re collected and replaced with clean ones, while the waste is processed into solid and liquid fertilizers.
“It offers a number of advan-tages,” Veri says. “It can be stored indoors, it doesn’t have to be picked up every week, it starts fermentation immedi-ately, it doesn’t smell, and you can add anything you create in
the kitchen.”It also avoids one of the
greatest hurdles discouraging people from backyard com-posting: bears. And unlike most municipal composting, it’s equally applicable to single family households and high-density dwellings.
Bokashi — a Japanese word for “fermented organic matter” — is also known as anaerobic fermentation.
Waste decomposes into humus once mixed back into soil, in a process that can take less than a month. It preserves nutrients, particularly nitro-gen, that are burned off in other composting methods.
Veri estimates about 100 local households plus a few schools and businesses already use the method to deal with their waste on-site.
He’s shooting for a summer launch, but figures he’ll need about $500,000 to pay for cap-ital, start-up, and operations. At the moment, he’s the lone employee, but envisions it could provide work for seven to ten people.
He expects to have six col-lection routes and visit each at least every two weeks, targeting homes, multi-unit residential complexes, schools, businesses, and large-volume operations like restaurants, grocery stores, and hospitals. Bigger com-munities and commercial oper-ations could see more frequent pick-up.
However, the market for the end product isn’t as clearly defined. While the fertilizer will
be nutrient-rich and valuable, Vari says he’s doing some fur-ther testing to get a handle on what it would best be used for. “The idea is that what we’re left with is worth more than what it costs to collect and process,” he says.
Although a few businesses around the world offer compost pick-up, nearly all take their product to community gardens.
Veri expects his produc-tion facility to be somewhere between Nelson and Castlegar — potentially at a regional district landfill site such as Ootischenia — although the pick-up service would also cover Trail, Rossland, Creston, Nakusp, Kaslo, and places in between.
While he could serve entire municipalities, Veri says it’s not a requirement for start up, and he doesn’t anticipate any local government contracts at first. Nelson is looking at an “in vessel” system for institutional composting, while the Regional District of Central Kootenay is considering residential com-posting as part of its resource recovery plan.
While he’s uncertain of the exact number of customers he’ll need to make a go of the business, Veri figures “it’s in the hundreds.”
He says his rates will be comparable to or better than what commercial kitchens already pay haulers to remove organic waste, while the com-petition for residential custom-ers is the status quo — sending food scraps to the landfill.
Door-to-door compost pick-up proposed for West Kootenay
t h e N e l s o N s t a rThe man charged in the armed robberies of
several local financial institutions has pled guilty to trying to escape from custody.
Andrew Stevenson, 34, faces a maximum of two years in prison when he is sentenced on Jan. 6.
On Sept. 15, Stevenson was due to elect trial on 21 charges, less than a week after being denied bail.
According to the Ministry of Justice, a deputy
sheriff was escorting Stevenson into the court-house through a sheriff-access only door when he threw off his crutches and fled.
Stevenson was using the crutches as the result of injuries he suffered during his arrest on April 25. Consequently, he wasn’t wearing leg irons. The deputy sheriff caught Stevenson after a two-block chase.
He was still using crutches during his last several court appearances via video link from Kamloops.

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks came out flying against the Castlegar Rebels on Wednesday night at the Castlegar Rec Complex as they soared to a 9-3 victory over their Interior division rivals.
The Nitehawks jumped out to a 4-0 first period lead before the Rebels could reply, but by that time Castlegar starting goalie Austin Wells had been pulled, and the rout was well on its way.
“It was one of our best (periods of hockey) for sure, but I think we had a well-rounded game the whole night,” said Nitehawks assist-ant coach Jim Ingram.
Hawks forward Jace Weegar scored what proved to be the winning goal with 3:35 to play in the first per-iod, notching his first of two on the night. Allan Pruss head-manned the puck to brother Michael who broke in with Weegar on a 2-on-1. The Hawk forward drew the defenceman then feathered a perfect pass to Weegar who fired it into the open side on Rebel goalie Patrick Zubick to make it 4-0.
The line of Weegar and the Pruss twins was exceptional in the game, netting eight
points, while playing with high-energy, speed, and con-sistently forcing turnovers, the result of a devastating forecheck.
“They think the game a lot alike, they have a really strong work ethic, and get after it,” said Ingram. “The line hasn’t been together a whole lot but at the same time the chemistry has been almost immediate, so if that’s the way they’re going to play, it’s going to be a fun line to watch.”
According to Weegar, the line has a history all its own, a familiarity with each other’s play from a former team.
“A while back, about three years ago, we played together in midget, and we got separ-ated and then we all ended up coming back to the same team so we’ve built up quite a bit of chemistry over the years, and end up playing well together,” said Weegar.
The Nitehaws now trail second-place Castlegar in the Neil Murdoch standings by just three points with three games in hand.
In Wednesday’s match up, it didn’t take long for the Hawks to get going with Kyle Hope scoring on a Tyler Hartman and Sam Swanson setup 2:54 into the first per-iod.
Ross Armour made it 2-0 when he banged in a Spencer McLean rebound at 15:05 on a power play, and Mitch Foyle would net a short-handed marker when he streaked down the right side, broke across the crease and lifted a backhand over the glove of Wells to make it 3-0 at 5:35 of the first.
Weegar would score exact-ly two minutes later, and Bryan Lubin would finally get Castlegar on the board shov-eling in a goal-line scramble with 32 seconds to play to make it 4-1 Hawks at the end of one.
“I think everyone just played really well together and there was definitely no individual effort,” said Weegar. “We just played as a team, and everyone was just really positive on the bench and that was the main thing.”
The physical first period was highlighted by an Andrew Miller fight, who obliged Dawson Haines in a lively battle, after Haines attacked the Hawk defenceman. Both would be ejected from the game setting the stage for a classic Hawks-Rebel battle in the second and third.
The Nitehawks dominat-ed the first frame outshoot-ing the Rebels 15-8, but the second-period would see the
shots even up, 13-13, as the Hawks were shorthanded for almost half the period.
“The penalties got a bit out of hand there, so that took away from our game, but I liked how we responded, and although we took a lot of penalties, we seem to not let that bother us that much or take anything away from our game,” said Ingram.
Incredibly, the Nitehawks, one of the league’s least penalized teams, would be shorthanded nine times while Castlegar, the second most penalized team, were on the penalty kill just twice in the match. Despite the anomaly, Hawk goalie Drake Poirier came up big, making a num-ber of sensational saves in the second period to preserve the lead, and it would be B.V. that would score the only goal of the period when Michael Pruss sent a perfect pass to brother Allan who one-timed it past Zubick.
Up 5-1, the Nitehawks continued to pressure in the the third. Weegar would get his 10th of the season on another Pruss-Pruss set up, and Mitch Foyle counted his second of the game taking an Armour pass and wiring it from the right face-off dot under the crossbar.

The Trail Smoke Eaters will look to get back in the hunt for a playoff spot tonight when they face Interior division rival West Kelowna Warriors and follow that up with a Saturday tilt versus the Chilliwack Chiefs.
The Smoke Eaters beat the Warriors 3-1 at home in their one and only meeting so far this season, in what was one of the most exciting games of the year on Nov. 28. Trail is also chas-ing the Warriors for a playoff spot. The 15-10-0-5 Warriors sit 10 points up on the Smokies, and will be Trail’s opponent in four of its seven remaining games this month.
“As you move closer to the end of the season, these two points become more and more import-ant especially when you don’t get the results the game before,” said Smoke Eater assistant coach Craig Clare.
The Smokies are coming off a tough 5-3 loss to Prince Rupert on Sunday, and are winless in their past four games. Trail currently sits two points back of fifth-place Salmon Arm, 27 points, and the 16-12-0-2 Merritt Centennials with 34 points in the fourth and final playoff spot.
The league’s second top scorer, Liam Blackburn, will lead the Warrior’s charge into the Cominco Arena. Blackburn, a New Hampshire University commit, has 13 goals and 33 assists for 46 points on the season and is a gifted playmaker.
“We understand where we’re at and we play West Kelowna and Salmon Arm a couple of times before Christmas so it’s really important to set ourselves up nice going into the New Year, so we still have control of our own destiny,” said Clare.
The Smoke Eaters will have another tough test on Saturday when they face the Chilliwack Chiefs who hold down first-place in the Mainland division. The 20-9-0-1 Chiefs are one of the hot-test teams in the BCHL going 8-2 in their last 10 games, with recent wins over Salmon Arm, 5-3, and Prince George, 6-3.
It will be the first time the two teams meet this season, and the Smokies will have to neu-tralize a balanced Chief attack led by Vermont commit Craig Puffer who is on a six-game point streak and has 19-14-33 this season. Chilliwack also has seven players in the line up collecting 20 points or more, including former Beaver Valley Nitehawk Kurt Black who has 10-13-23 and is fourth in team scoring.
The Smokies Jake Lucchini leads the Smokies with 13-22-35 and is eighth in league scoring, while Charlie Zuccarini is right behind him at 17-17-34.
Game time is 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Cominco Arena.
Smoke Signals: Defenceman Sheldon Hubbard was dealt to
his hometown to play with the Grande Prairie Storm of the AJHL for future considerations on Thursday. Hubbard played 20 games for Trail in 2014 netting two goals and three assists.
Trail forward Craig Martin is out with injury and will not play.

B y T i m e s s T a f fSkiers dreaming of a white Christmas and a
chance to hit the slopes at Red Mountain will have to wait another week.
The ski hill was scheduled to open Saturday but unseasonably warm weather and rain has put a damper on early expectations and pushed the tentative opening date to Dec. 20.
“We were looking good with coverage top-to-bottom. The snow up top is still good—and still falling—but the warm temps from this “pine-apple express” have adversely affected the snow at the bottom of the mountain,” said a release on the Red website.
While snow continues to fall at higher eleva-tion, the base of Red is in need of some fresh powder. Forecasts call for the dissipation of the Pineapple Express this weekend, and snow from Dec. 18 to 20.
The Pineapple Express is a relatively com-mon weather pattern that brings southwest winds to the Pacific Northwest along with warm, moist air. The name comes from the source of the moisture: The tropical Pacific Ocean near Hawaii.
The Pineapple Express sometimes produces days of heavy rain, which can cause extensive floods. The warm air also can melt snow in the mountains, further aggravating flooding.
During the colder parts of the year, the warm air can be cooled enough to produce heavy, upslope snow as it rises into the higher eleva-tions of the Sierra Nevada or Cascade mountain ranges.

Kootenay Lake:Despite the recent cancellation of the Family
Day Fishing Derby, Kootenay Lake is still seeing some decent catches.
We’ve had some pretty good days on the water, with eight-to-10 fish being caught. Sizes have ranged from two to three pounds with the water temperature dropping below 50-degrees F and our fish are still feeding more on the sur-face, which makes for some exciting bucktail action. My favorite kind of fishing.
We have been experimenting with lighter gear as well as fly reels and mooching reels to make the battles even more exciting.
On one of our trips last week, a young lady asked to bring her fly rod on board and we accepted the challenge. Throughout the day we hooked numerous fish on all of our rods except the fly rod. However, patience prevailed and in the final hour of the day the fly reel started screaming.
Kalyn was quick to grab the rod, and just in time because the reel had only three wraps of line left on it when she grabbed it and slowed the fish down. After about a 15-minute battle with her 6-weight fly rod, we finally got the fish to the boat, a beautiful nine-pound rainbow. What a great battle on this light rod. I think we are hooked on this new-found technique.
And now with lots of small rainbows being caught, I think the lighter gear will be a lot of fun. As long as the gear can still handle a 10-12 pound fish, we should be okay. Either way, it will be exciting. Looking forward to experi-menting more as the season continues.
Our latest trip had some boys from Alberta join us for their annual Kootenay Lake trip. And while the weather was freezing cold here, they were still happy to not be back at home where it was even colder and a lot more snow. A nice get away for the crew.
They managed to land 10 fish up to 10 pounds during their trip. Day one was a bit slow because of the weather change, but day two made up for everything. Lots of action on the mooching reels. Line peeling and fish jumping made for a few exciting battles. They are already planning their next trip. Looking forward to it.
December is usually a good month for fish-ing, so hopefully the pattern continues. Either way, we’ll be out there, so stay tuned.
What are they biting on?Mostly surface action for our boat, so the
magic lures have been the usual bucktail flies. Lately the lucky numbers have been 203,210, 215, 224, and 228. Colors have been purples, blacks, or grays.
Also catching a few Bulls on the downrigger with Lyman plugs or flashers and hoochies. There seems to be a lot of fish showing up on the sonar at depths between 80-120 feet. Although most of the fish seem to come to the surface when they want to feed.
Mix it up a bit and run both surface lines and deep lines and you should catch some fish.

Walker Sidoni would put the Hawks up 8-1, walking out of the corner and back-handing it by Zubick, before Jacob Boyczuk rounded out the scor-ing for the Hawks on a power play goal at 9:36 of the final frame.
Lubin added the Rebels lone power play goal 71 seconds later, and Lindan Calliou would finish it with 47 seconds left on the clock to make it 9-3.
The Hawks outshot Castlegar 40 to 35 and were 2-for-2 on the power play while the Rebels went 1-for-9.
Both Allan and
Michael Pruss count-ed three points on the night, with Allan net-ting a goal and two assists and Michael three helpers, while Foyle had two goals and an assist, and Hartman, Armour, Reid Anderson, Weegar, Hope, and Sidoni pitched in with two points apiece.
“It’s nice when you can spread things out like that, the penalty kill, power play, even strength, everybody chucked something into the hat tonight,” said Ingram. “This was a big game for us and a big game for them, and we wanted to come in here and make a statemen, and I think we did that.”

There was the loss of my one and only sports hero,
Jean Beliveau, but that was eventually to be expected.
More depressing was the Smoke Eaters three-loss record, the last two of which came as the result of the worst weekend of play by the team at Cominco
Arena this season. Those two games
showcased the worst, and least entertaining, hockey from the team I have seen. There was ineptitude throughout the roster - such that it must have been dif-ficult to select a home first star - starting in goal and moving through the defense corps at both ends of
the ice and not par-ticularly good forward play, along with poor power play execution and penalty kill.
Just bad, depress-ing, and unentertain-ing.
It is still fair to say that this team is much better than last year’s and a playoff spot is not nearly a long shot - yet. It is also fair to say the team has regressed in recent weeks and if things do not improve quickly it will get late very early for that play-off push.
A fact of note: Early on there were a few top-20 scorers, some top-40 contributors
and more in the top 60. Right now there are two Smokies in the top 10 and 80 spots between them and the next top point getters in the squad.
There have been changes, and the new players seem to be just that, players, but the coaching staff needs to integrate them quick-ly, starting tonight, and find solutions for the overall porous play that found the Smokies facing a team without four of its top five offensive play-ers and still looking barely competitive last Sunday.
Improvement has to
start tonight and con-tinue into tomorrow. With three games left after this weekend and a small hill to climb, accumulating stand-ings points before the holiday break is going to be crucial to allow anyone involved, including the fans, to have a truly Merry Christmas season.
• Meanwhile, the Nitehawks are well within striking dis-tance of first place - and also play at home tonight. Here’s hoping the snowless roads bring crowds to both arenas. Hockey sou-venirs make excellent gifts.
A tough week
for Trail sports fans

T h E C A n A D I A n p R E s sMembers of the Toronto Maple
Leafs’ front office and coaching staff are on the same page, assistant gen-eral manager Kyle Dubas said. And it’s not the same page that includes the NHL standings.
Despite the team’s stretch of seven victories in its past nine games, Dubas said president Brendan Shanahan, general man-ager Dave Nonis and coach Randy Carlyle aren’t happy with the way the Leafs have been outshot and outplayed.
“There’s nobody content that we’ve gone 7-1-1 in this stretch,” Dubas said on a conference call Thursday. “There’s no one really content with it. It’s trying to con-
tinue to hone in on our process and really maximize our potential as a team.”
This state-of-the-team address by Dubas might’ve been necessary after the Leafs beat the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night in a game where they owed everything to backup goaltender James Reimer. Toronto was outshot 42-19 but won in a shootout almost single-handed-ly because of Reimer.
Dubas said Thursday that no one has to be an analytics expert to recognize that’s not great. Recent trends beyond that game are also troubling, like the Leafs being out-shot 303-247 over this nine-game run, an average of around 34-27 a game.

Leafs never happy

Dear Annie: I’ve been living with “Marcus” for two years, and we’ve known each other for twice that long. We are both in our late 40s. Soon after we moved in together, Marcus became seriously ill. We’ve been through five invasive surgeries, and there may be more.
The most serious ill-ness seems to be under control, but now other debilitating health issues are popping up on the horizon, and I just don’t know what to do. Part of me wants desperately to leave, yet I feel incredibly guilty for even thinking of it.
We don’t fight, and we have our good moments. I still am attracted to him, but there is absolutely no sex unless I initiate it -- which I’ve stopped doing because he always has discomfort or pain. We sometimes talk about it, and he says, “You didn’t sign up for this. Why are you still here?”
Marcus spoke to his
doctor about the lack of desire, some of which may be attributed to painkillers, but they have no resolution. I’ve lost weight, take good care of myself and dress nicely -- still nothing. He says, “It’s not you, it’s me.”
I feel shallow for missing sex so much, but I honestly can’t imagine living the rest of my life without it. I suggested counseling, with or without me, but Marcus refused. When he dismisses sugges-tions to work on us, I end up feeling more like a nurse than a lover. And the guilt is eating me up. What can I do? -- Faith
Dear Faith: Marcus
has serious health issues, and that, plus medication, is undoubt-edly what is causing his lack of desire. It isn’t anything you are doing. And he, too, feels guilt, because his illness pre-vents you from having the relationship you envisioned. He may have decided against counseling so that you will have a reason to leave him. Please know that your feelings are not unusual. Only you can decide whether or not you love him enough to see him through this, with or without sex. Counseling will help you, even if Marcus chooses not to go.
Dear Annie: I was diagnosed with epilepsy three years ago, but had milder forms of seizures that went undiagnosed for 23 years. I am on medications that inter-fere with relationships at home and work.
Of all the major chronic medical condi-tions, epilepsy is surely one of the least under-
stood. Seizures are unpredictable electri-cal disturbances in the brain that affect aware-ness, movement and sensation. Epilepsy is not contagious, it is not a mental illness, and it is not mental retarda-tion.
There are more than 40 types of epilepsy that affect more than three million people in the U.S. and 65 million worldwide. The Epilepsy Foundation has infor-mation to help raise awareness. Please get the word out. -- Can’t Drive but Can Text
Dear Can’t Drive: Thank you for giv-ing us the opportu-nity. National Epilepsy Awareness Month was in November, but awareness is needed all year round. We hope our readers will check out the Epilepsy Foundation at epilepsy.com and find out how they can help.
Dear Annie: I have been following all of the opinions about blowing one’s nose at the dinner
table. Those who are
offended by the act, please be careful visit-ing New Mexico. If you want to enjoy your stay, you must, of course, try our well-known and traditional green chili (or at Christmastime, green and red chili).
This food is likely to cause anyone’s nose to drip, and you can see an abundance of tis-sues flying about at any good restaurant, with-out any complaints. -- Tolerant in the Land of Enchantment

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - It’s
a discussion some families have in the lead-up to the holi-days. Others avoid it because it can be awk-ward; everyone isn’t always on the same
page.But side-stepping
dilemmas rarely solves them, so let’s just put it out there. If you buy holiday gifts for the children in your extended family, does there come a point
when you can stop?When do “the kids”
stop being kids?Do you buy till
the children in your extended family stop putting toys on their wish lists? Till they graduate from high school, college or graduate school? Do you buy for them until they have kids, then add the next genera-tion to your holiday list?
Sadly, there appears to be no single answer, no neat protocol like “forks on the left, knives on the right” that makes it a simple call for all concerned. But some etiquette experts have offered suggestions to help.
Let’s start with the doyenne of eti-quette mavens, Judith Martin. Martin - per-haps better known as Miss Manners - says an important point to keep in mind is that there is no need to stop buying gifts for nieces and nephews.
If you enjoy doing so, you may continue.
“It’s one way to keep in touch,” notes Martin, who addresses the social dilemmas of “gentle readers” in her thrice-weekly syndicated newspaper column as well as in a number of books.
Should you wish, however, to at some point transition from giving gifts to send-ing a seasonal letter or card, Martin suggests a surprisingly ten-der age as a potential demarcation point.
“The first cut-off would be ... children who have learned
to write but don’t,” Martin says with a bit of bite to her delivery.
She refers, of course, to children who do not pen thank-you notes to express gratitude for the pre-sents they have been sent.
“I would give them a year or two to see that this is a pattern. And yes, if one is not demonstrably pleased with presents, why give them? You can assume that your pre-sents are annoying them.”
Anna Post of the Emily Post Institute suggests the point at which children stop going out for Halloween might be a time when you could think about altering gift-giving patterns, if that is a goal.
Post’s great-great-grandmother - after whom the Burlington, Vt.-based institute is named - was one of America’s premier eti-quette experts of days
gone by.Anna Post says dif-
ferent circumstances may affect the timing of a decision like this.
“It can also change when you have your own children,” she notes. “
You know, you might give to nieces and nephews, but then when you have your own family, you may get a little absorbed by them instead.”
Karen Cleveland, the Toronto-based writer of the blog “Finishing School,” suggests the point at which nieces and nephews start to earn an income might also be a reasonable time to discontinue gift giving.
All three agree the question isn’t simply “when?” but “how?” For instance, if a family contains sever-al children, buying for some but not others could lead to hurt feelings.
Post suggests using
transition gifts, mov-ing at a point to buy-ing a small token gift - a lovely Christmas tree ornament, if Christmas is the holi-day being celebrated - rather than a larger present. Or buying a present for the family as a whole, instead of for each individual child.
Letting the future former recipients of your gifts - or their parents - in on your plans is good form, says Cleveland.
In fact, if your family is one where you buy for your sis-ter’s children and she buys for yours, you should let your sib-lings know of your intentions - and well before Christmas. It is probably too late to do that this year.
“The earlier you make changes to established traditions, the more time people have to get used to the idea,” Post says.
Another way to handle this type of change would be to get all involved to agree to a system whereby people draw names. Instead of buying for all your siblings’ chil-dren, you could buy for one. But this too takes planning - and general agreement, the experts says.
If you are going to stop buying gifts for a niece or nephew who is older, you could discuss the change with him or her. For instance, you could indicate that this is the last year you will be sending a gift or that this year you will not be sending a present.
“At that point you should send a warm Christmas letter so they think it’s not an accident,” Martin says.
Post favours having a conversation rather than sending a note, to ensure that there are no hurt feelings.
The point to get across is that this isn’t about something hav-ing gone wrong in the relationship, but rath-er is inspired by the passage of time.
“We often write notes when we don’t want to engage with people. And this is the right time to engage,” Post says.
When is it OK to stop buying siblings’ kids presents?Holiday EtiquEttE

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - Carolyn
Bechard remembers her mother spend-ing evenings at the kitchen table writing out cards paired with family portraits as a part of their Christmas tradition - one she has also embraced as her own.
“I am very much a traditionalist,” said Bechard, who is behind the blog Moments in Mommyland. “I have very specific things I remember growing up with, and by doing those, it kind of brings me joy and brings me back to my own child-hood. So tradition def-initely plays a part in it - but it just makes me happy.
“I understand for some people it doesn’t - and that’s OK. But for me, it wouldn’t feel like the holidays if I wasn’t giving out Christmas cards.”
The Vancouver-based stay-at-home mom usually sends out about 50 to 60 Christmas cards annu-ally to immediate family and members of her church commun-ity. About half of the recipients live close to home, while others are located throughout North America and further afield.
This year, the per-sonalized cards will be accompanied by a photo of Bechard with
her husband, Matt, and their sons Noah, 3, and one-year-old Asher, captured in July.
“Christmas is a very big holiday in our family,” said Bechard, 28. “I am a Christian, so for me, there is a faith aspect to it. But Christmas is kind of just a time I’ve chosen to show people that I’m thinking of them or that they’re on my heart.
“We don’t gener-ally send out cards for birthdays, so Christmas is the time of year that we acknowledge friends and family and loved ones and just say: ‘Hey, I’m thinking about you.”’
Yet with the ability to send festive greet-ings electronically, what is the enduring appeal of putting trad-itional cards in the post?
“Just about every-body loves to get a greeting card because it says to the receiver: ‘You’re really import-ant to me. I went to extra effort. I didn’t email or phone you. I came in person with my card or I put it in the mail,”’ said Joanne McNeish, assistant professor of market-ing at the Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University.
“I think what we forget in the e-world
is that e-everything is only our visual sense, our sight, whereas tangible things - books and cards, everything paper - (involves) more senses.
“Senses are actually the way as people we get information, or it’s the way we feel or are connected to emo-tions. Around this time of year, where it’s kind of an emotional time anyway, we as humans want to share in that, give that emotion and get that emotion back. And we do that with physical things.”
As the daughter of Chinese immigrants who were new to Canada, Lisa Ng was designated to write Christmas cards on behalf of her family.
“I think I just got so used to doing that when I was 12 or 13 that I ended up just continuing the tradition,” said Ng, editor-in-chief of This Beautiful Day, a life-styles blog for women.
Ng and her husband moved to Los Angeles about 1 1/2 years ago, and there has been no interruption in her holiday ritual. She typ-ically orders pop-up cards from New York’s Museum of Modern Art store and sends out between 30 to 40 to family, friends and business associates.
“I would say clients are the most import-
ant people to send Christmas cards to because I find that an e-card just doesn’t cut it,” said Ng, 34. “People are really sick of looking at their computer all day and reading email all day. I just feel like an e-card doesn’t have the (same) impact as a beautiful, handwrit-ten card.
“I take it upon myself to make the Christmas card a nice way to say: ‘Thank you so much, it was great working with you throughout the year, I had so much fun, let’s collaborate again in 2015 if there’s an opportunity.’
“I try to send those to as many clients as I’ve worked with in the past year, and I always try to pick a Christmas card that has a lot of impact.”
Ng said part of the reason she opts to mail her cards rather than hand them out in person is concern she may not remember to bring them to their intended recipients.
“I think another part is that it is so nice to get mail these days - nice mail that isn’t a bill - and for them to have the opportunity to have the ritual of opening a Christmas card and then having that card to put on display or hang.
“I love going to
people’s houses and seeing Christmas cards on display. It’s just so beautiful to have those cards that I feel that those are just as meaningful to friends and family - which is part of the reason why I send them as well.”
