No matter who you ask, once you met Francis Otto Fertich, you had a friend for life.
So when Frank left this earth shortly after Thanksgiving last year, the loving fa-ther, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle and friend to many, left a legacy of humor-ous and wise narratives spanning 90 years.
From his early days in Willow Bunch Sask., to joining the war effort at 17, along-side older brother Joe Fertich, marrying Dorothy Fox of Rossland and becoming the city’s Deputy Chief Firefighter in 1952, re-joining the Royal Canadian Air Force and the long and diverse fire fighting career that followed – so many memories to leave his three children, extended family and friends, from a life fully embraced.
But there were stories Frank kept close to heart and rarely spoke of. Those were his memories from the Second World War, when barely out of his teens, he served as an air gunner on a Lancaster Bomber.
So it wasn’t until Frank’s service at the Trail Legion in May this year, that the family first heard his thoughts of war, im-mortalized in a poem they happened upon while packing up his belongings.
Tucked away in an operations log book
from WWll, on pages brittle with age, was the teenager’s ode to his fellow air gun-ners - many who didn’t make it back home, alive.
The Trail Times was first introduced to Frank’s poem two weeks ago at the first poppy pinning in the Trail Cenotaph. Vern Schneider, past president of the Trail branch, scrolled through his iPad on that crisp October day, sharing words written 70 years ago. From there, Legion adminis-trator Glenda Reilly provided information about Frank, and that launched the jour-ney into this man’s incredible life story.
Frank Fertich’s history shows he was a quiet but decorated Canadian war hero. Even more than that, he was truly cher-ished and loved by all.
Thank you to Vern Schneider, Glenda Reilly, and most of all, Frank’s family, for sharing his memory.
“Dad was very private about his time in the war, in many ways,” his daughter, Cheryl Fertich told the Trail Times from her home in Victoria.
“We discovered (the poem) going through his things so it made sense to have it read at Dad and Mom’s internment (May 29),” she added. “Dad used to write goofy poems and draw goofy pictures so it was really emotional to hear his voice come through
those words after he was gone. It took us to the time when he would have been over there…also re-affirming that was very much who he would have been with his friends and war colleagues. And he really did appreciate that he came back safe when many of his best friends didn’t.”
Frank’s nephew, Craig Fox, held a special bond with his uncle from the moment they met.
Fox, now living in Trail, was a combat en-gineer with 1 Combat Engineer Regiment.He disabled landmines in Bosnia, and later
From far and near you’ll often hear of the pilots skill and dareBut little is heard of the straight AG or why he is really thereTo be exact as a matter of fact, he’s the backbone of the crewWhen you take account of the amount of work he has to doHe’s needed on returning home, when nights are dark as sinHis job is then to defend his plane and save the pilots’ skinHe knows his job without a doubt you really can’t denyWhen smashing huns with Browing gun, he’s really quite a guyAnd if a pack hits the plant and bail out beginsHe knows he doesn’t stand a chance so he just sits and grinsAnd in his eyes before he dies is a glint of devil may careAs he meets his fate in a burning crate go sailing o’er the blueRemember there’s an AG aboard and thank God it isn’t youHere is the men of the RCAF. Here is to the men who flyHere’s a toast to the straight AG - and God bless those who die!The above poem was written by Air Gunner and Veteran Frank Fertich on one
of his missions during World War Two.(AG-Air Gunner)

served in Afghanistan, receiving the Task Force Commander’s Commendation and a Governor General’s Commendation.
He was instrumen-tal in planning the Legion send off his uncle was so deserv-ing of, and says every Remembrance Day, he’d call Frank to say, ‘thank you’ for his ser-vice.
“He didn’t talk about his experiences, that’s something we don’t do,” said Fox. “But he was very special to me, and hearing that poem for the first time at his service, was powerful, very emotional.”
Frank received many medals of service, in-cluding one of the highest honours, the Distinguished Flying Medal (DFM).
Though his uncle remained tight lipped about wartime, Fox re-called one flight he did speak of.
“The life expectancy of a Lancaster (crew member) was one flight,” said Fox. “And my Uncle Frank flew thirty Lancaster mis-sions over Germany.”
The lone operation Frank did tell the fam-ily about involved a tail gunner who fell asleep at his post. A
German plane came up behind the Canadians, and killed the tail gun-ner, began Fox.
“And that blew out my uncle’s Plexiglas dome, took out the plane’s hydraulics,and he had to turn his tur-ret by hand, ” he ex-plained.
Frank, positioned as a mid-upper tur-ret gunner, shot the enemy from the sky, saving himself and the other crew members.
“There was a light up in the sky, so obvi-ously he got them,” said Fox. “And after that, they pulled over 500 pieces of Plexiglas from my uncle’s back,” he added.
“That’s where he got the DFM, which is the second highest award you can get besides the Victoria Cross, which is usually given when someone dies.”
Back in Victoria on Nov. 11, Cheryl and her 11-year old daugh-ter, will spend the day thinking about her dad.
“Remembrance Day, now with dad’s pass-ing, is almost like his memory day for our family,” she said.
“My daughter totally idolized her papa but it was really hard for her, initially, to under-stand why he would have fought. But now
she’s very proud he fought for our free-dom and she under-stands much more that he lost many friends during the war and put himself at risk
every time he was in an operation,” Cheryl added.
“So I think the poem really meant a lot to her as well. It is re-ally special to us and
keeps not only his memory alive but the memory of all the brave men and women that served over there and the sacrifices they gave.”

Visible smoke above
West Trail, Violin Lake and across the river from Rivervale prompt-
ed calls to the local fire department this week.
But no worries, the smoke was coming from controlled slash pile burning as ATCO Wood Products carried out its annual fire haz-ard abatement.
The proper timing of the burn is critical, and dependent upon the daily ventilation fore-cast. (The ventilation index is a numerical value related to atmo-spheric potential in dis-persing airborne pol-lutants, such as smoke from a prescribed fire).
That means alerting
the public in advance isn’t an option because the company can’t commit to burning in a specific area on a cer-tain day, explains ATCO Silviculture Supervisor Mark MacAulay.
“I do phone the Southeast Fire Centre and the local fire de-partments when we are burning in an area where it is visible to the public,” he said. “Due to the fact that we can’t get the venting forecast for the day until 7:30 a.m…the notification given to them is on the morning they are oc-
curring.”Slash piles are burned
each fall in areas that timber was harvested within the last year.
“They are put into large piles so they are not covering the cut-block, as the cutblock needs to be plant-ed with seedlings,” McAulay clarified. “The piles are required to be burned by law, as they are a fire hazard.”
Before that can hap-pen, moisture content of the surrounding area must be high enough to ensure fires won’t

spread, the venting index must be “good,” and wind must be low or blowing in a direc-tion that avoids smok-ing out communities.
“Burning them at the proper time elimi-nates the fire hazard,” MacAulay added. “In an example of the haz-ard, we have had sev-eral piles that were lit by careless people this year.”
Hunters had a camp-fire too close to the pile in one circumstance. The others may have started from a care-lessly tossed cigarette or from an ATV trav-elling through nearby long grass in dry, hot conditions.
“These fires were started when condi-tions were not appro-priate, and resulted in unplanned broadcast burns on the cutblocks (burning newly plant-ed seedlings),” said MacAulay. “Which then carried into nearby standing timber.”
The remote fires were extinguished by ATCO employees and initial attack crews.

Psalm 91:1He who dwe� s in the shelter of the Most High wi� rest in the
shadow of the Almighty.
“Russ” passed away peacefully in Langford on Oct 22, 2015. Russell was born in 1936 in Manitoba, youngest of four, and the only boy. His family moved to Vanderhoof, B.C. in 1940, then shortly afterwards settled in Trail. After graduation from J. Lloyd Crowe high school, Russ moved to Vancouver
Island, and in 1956 graduated from Malaspina College as a heavy duty mechanic. He began work with Island Tug, which later became Seaspan, continuing his education to become a second class marine engineer and achieving top marks in Canada. Russell married in 1959 and settled in Langford to raise his family of three sons. During his extended summers from sea, Russ packed up the family and went exploring B.C. on month-long camping trips in the backwoods with close family friends, the Stinsons. Russell took great pride in his work and retired in 1982. While he often reminisced about his years at sea, his
retirement gave him time to build up his workshop and he became a true craftsman, bestowing this love of � ne workmanship on his sons. Russell was a hobbyist, and really believed in waste not, want not, keeping his blue ’78 Ford Crew Cab in top condition for 35 years. Russell moved to Alexander Mackie Lodge in 2007 where he greatly enjoyed the social life, always with a good joke. Daily he fed the � sh in the Koi pond, worked puzzles, and got caught up on the Turner Classics. Russell had a cheerful, curious and accepting personality. He looked forward to his weekly lunches with his sons, and frequent visits from his grandchildren, enjoying stories of their milestones and successes. Russell will be fondly remembered by his 3 sons William and Steven of Victoria, and Robert of Surrey, and 3 grandchildren, Wm. Robert Dale, Gavin, and Heather. Family and friends will gather for a celebration of Russell’s life on Sun, Nov 29, 2015 at 11 a.m. at Royal Canadian Legion #91, Langford. As an expression of sympathy donations in Russell’s memory may be made to � e Boys and Girls Club of Victoria. Russell was a hardworking, gentle and kind man who will live in our hearts forever.

Was Keystone XL rejection such a big mistake?The American rejection of
the Keystone XL pipeline proposal should inspire Alberta to start looking at
the true energy future.The rejection of the Keystone XL
project has been severely criticized by Alberta oilpatch spokespersons and supporters. Many environ-mentalists are, of course, jubilant.
But there is a middle course. The pipeline rejection can be justified, without pretending that the use of fossil fuels can be ended quickly.
Opponents of expanded fossil fuel production, because of cli-mate change concerns, reasonably focus on opposing expanded trans-portation infrastructure, although forcing companies to use far more dangerous railroads is a bad idea.
And certainly some public reac-tion has been more nuanced than one might expect. At least one oilpatch worker and another petro-leum engineer who called CBC’s Alberta at Noon show after the announcement suggested that the pipeline might not be necessary or desirable and that oil sands production might be fairly called “dirty.”
Present production levels are reaching market without Keystone XL, so the need for a new pipeline is based solely on plans for ex-panded production.
But expanding oil sands produc-tion is not a good idea. The cumu-lative socio-environmental effects of the industry have neither been
properly assessed nor dealt with. If ex-pansion is ruled out, pressure for exten-sive new pipelines and the controversy would diminish. So would the inflation and recessionary ef-fects of the “boom-bust” cycle.
Big oil sands proj-ects have a genera-tional timescale. But advocates of expansion forget that the fossil fuel industry will soon enter its sunset phase. According to a re-port in the Huffington Post, “based on IPCC estimates, the world can only burn one-fifth to one-third of its proven oil reserves” if a criti-cal climate tipping point is to be avoided. Canadian Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England, has warned that “if that estimate is even approximately correct it would render the vast majority of reserves ‘stranded’ - oil, gas and coal that will be literally unburn-able without expensive carbon cap-ture technology, which itself alters fossil fuel economics.”
This fact, of course, would enor-mously reduce the value of fossil fuel companies and consequently their ability to borrow money.
If Carney and other observers are right, executives and boards of directors who fail to heed this warning and continue to invest in
new exploration and pipelines are leaving themselves open to collapsing share val-ues.
Even supporters of low- or no-carbon energy systems are uncertain about how quickly and com-pletely renewable energy sources can fill the gap. But gov-ernments can help the transition by
adjusting financial and policy in-centives or constraints. Wise gov-ernments – and companies – will take vigorous action to encourage new developments such as better storage batteries for intermittent sources. They will also engage in heavy investment in geothermal projects (Alberta doesn’t even have an approval/regulatory regime for this, which prevents entrepreneurs from obtaining the necessary fi-nancing).
It is dangerous for Alberta’s oil and gas production to go to a sin-gle market — the U.S. Continuing to do this means that billions of dollars will be left on the table. Presently, only a tiny fraction of production goes to non-American markets. Some routes to other markets for present production must be provided in the medium term, perhaps 20 years, while re-newable energy is being ramped up sufficiently.
The oilpatch is not the enemy - many of its key developers are sin-cerely pro-environment. But the need to improve the acceptability of Canadian production puts a pre-mium on technological develop-ments. We must remediate tailings ponds, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, energy and water de-mands of in-situ projects if for-eign buyers are going to embrace our product. Further, we will need major provincial and federal pro-grams to combat climate change in order to improve our bad inter-national reputation.
The oil and gas industry has a medium-term future. Agile com-panies will be in the forefront of the move to renewable energy, realizing that they are energy com-panies, not oil and gas companies. Other less flexible companies may well disappear.
Governments should re-establish independent, publicly-accessible and robust project assessment and approval processes with a mandate to consider cumulative socio-envi-ronmental and economic impacts, including climate change consid-erations.
We must plan for transitional use of cleaned-up oil and gas produc-tion as we move into a 21st cen-tury energy system.

Don’t touch that button!“When people say they’re
never going to use the (nuclear) deter-rent,” said General Sir
Nicholas Houghton, “I say you use the deterrent every second of every minute of every day. The purpose of the deterrent is you don’t have to use it because you effectively deter.”
As Britain’s most senior serv-ing military officer, Houghton went on the BBC last week-end to denounce the leader of the opposition, Labour’s new leader Jeremy Corbyn. Why? Because Corbyn had said he would never press the nuclear button in the (rather remote) contin-gency that he becomes prime minister after the 2020 election.
Indeed, Corbyn has said that he would like to get rid of Britain’s nuclear weap-ons entirely. “There are five declared nuclear weapon states in the world,” he told the BBC a month ago.
“Three others have nuclear weapons. That is eight coun-tries out of 192; one hundred and eighty-seven countries do not feel the need to have nu-clear weapons to protect their security. Why should those five need them to protect their se-curity?”
Now, there are a few errors and omissions in that state-ment. 192 minus eight is 184. The five “declared” countries – the United States, Russia, Britain, France and China – were already nuclear weap-ons powers before the Non-Proliferation Treaty was signed in 1968, and their bombs were “grandfathered” by the treaty. They promised to get rid of them eventually, but half a cen-tury later “eventually” has still
not arrived.The four (not three) other nu-
clear weapons countries, India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel, never signed the NPT because they all had powerful enemies. Just like the original five, they were all thinking in terms of sheer survival when they developed their first nu-clear weapons.
Brazil and Argentina fright-ened each other into a race to develop nuclear weapons under the ultra-nationalist
military regimes of the 1970s and 1980s, but they didn’t really pose a threat to each other and the programmes were ditched by civilian govern-ments in the 1990s. Both countries signed the NPT just be-fore the century ended.
After the Soviet Union broke up in 1991, the former Soviet republics of Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan all wound up with ex-Soviet nuclear weapons on their soil. But they had no real enemies, so they all agreed to destroy them or give them back to Russia, the legal suc-cessor to the Soviet Union.
And South Africa developed nuclear weapons in the dying days of apartheid, fearing that Cuban and Russian military help to the “front-line states” of Africa might grow into an all-out military assault on the white-ruled state. After white minority rule ended peacefully in 1994, the new government led by Nelson Mandela quiet-ly dismantled the six South African bombs.
Nobody developed nuclear weapons just to feel more pow-erful: they were all driven by fear of attack. And when that fear vanished, as it did for some
countries, they promptly got out of the nuclear weapons business again. Logically, both Britain and France should now belong the latter group.
After the Soviet Union fell, they faced no threat that was even remotely comparable. They still don’t today. Yet they cling to their irrelevant nuclear weapons, presumably because they think that is what guar-antees them a seat at the high table.
Maybe it does, but it is a very expensive way to keep a seat of such dubious value.
The military forces that Britain actually uses from time to time are being hollowed out to maintain this ludicrous de-terrent (which depends on mis-siles leased from the United States).
It wouldn’t transform the world if Britain got rid of its nukes, but it would be a down-payment on what all the de-clared nuclear powers said they would do when they signed the NPT. French nuclear disarma-ment would also be a good idea.
Like people who live on the slopes of a volcano that hasn’t erupted in seventy years, we have mostly forgotten the ap-palling danger that still looms over us.
The Cold War ended thirty years ago but the weapons are still there, waiting for some fool or madman to pull the trigger.
I know what you’re thinking: Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons, and now it has a real enemy in Russia. So tell me: would you feel safer if Ukraine had nuclear weapons too? Would Ukrainians?
No. The stakes would be a hundred times higher, and we would have been living in a ter-rifying nightmare for the past two years.
Gwynne Dyer is an indepen-dent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.
After a recent trip out of town, enjoying some of what this won-derful area has to offer, I expe-rienced engine troubles with my pick-up truck. Luckily, my vehicle got us home safe and sound.
I thought I’d consult a “me-chanically inclined” friend of mine, and after looking at it, said… “Try taking it to Daryl at Brost Auto Worx downtown Trail, I’ve heard nothing but good things…” So, Monday morning I called down, and the receptionist told me to bring it down in one hour. I was kind of shocked, with all that this time of year demands from an auto shop, that I could have it looked at so promptly! I proceeded to
make my appointment on time, and within five minutes, a tech-nician diagnosed the problem, and was gone.
Not more than five more min-utes, Mr. Brost came out to the parking lot, shot the breeze about my truck, while replacing the part that was causing the issue. In that conversation, I received advice on an array of things to watch for, knowledge about my vehicle, and some friendly banter. I’d like to note that my truck didn’t even make it into a service bay! (Which were all occupied…) not more than 15 minutes had past and Mr. Brost was holding his tools and closing the hood. I was impressed, to say the very least!
In this day and age, with the world economy in the state that it is, I am saddened by the fact that things are built to break down, and that we are expected to squeeze every cent we can from those we provide a service to. It was extremely refresh-ing to receive such professional, knowledgeable, and “straight-up” service.
The entire experience remind-ed me of how auto service used to be, and what we all long for in this new era of service. Kudos to Daryl Brost and his entire staff at Brost Auto Worx for a job that exceeded my expectations, leaps and bounds!

SPORTSBY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
The Selkirk College Saints stretched their winning streak to four games with a sweep of the University of Victoria Vikings in BC Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) action on the weekend.
The Saints whipped a road-weary Vikings squad 9-1 on Friday, before doubling them up 4-2 on Saturday at the Castlegar Rec Complex.
“When we are play-ing our game, within our system and work-ing hard … we are one of the top teams, if not the top team in the league,” Saints coach Brent Heaven told Bob Hall, Selkirk commu-nications rep. “That’s somewhere we want to be and it took us a little bit of time to find our groove. Over the last month we have gotten into a position where the guys are buying in and starting to identify their individual roles which is helping our team’s success.”
Trail native Jamie Vlanich led the way, scoring twice on both nights and adding two assists in the open-ing match, as Selkirk grabbed a four-point lead on Trinity Western in BCIHL standings.
Vlanich netted the winner on Saturday on another pretty setup from Ryan Edwards and Dallas Calvin, beat-ing Vikes goalie Zach Wear with 1:40 to play in the first to give the Saints a 3-0 lead.
The former Nelson Leaf forward’s four points puts him into a tie for third spot with Edwards in BCIHL scoring with 14 points while Calvin leads the league with 12 goals and eight assists.
Derek Georgopoulos opened the scoring on a set up from Ryan
Sookro and former Trail Smoke Eater Nathan Browne at 16:58.
After Uvic’s Shawn Mueller was sent off for highsticking, Vlanich scored his first goal of the night on the power play with assists going to Ashton McLeod and Alex Milligan.
The Vikes mounted a comeback in the sec-ond period, making it 3-2 on goals from Patrick Webb and Chris Manhas. But a third period goal by Browne iced it for the Saints, giving them their sixth win of the season.
With the Trail trio of Calvin, Edwards, and Vlanich dominating on the scoreboard of late, secondary scor-ing stepped up on the weekend, with Georgopoulos, Browne, and Sookro each get-ting two points in the game.
“We can roll any line and get success from it,” Heaven said of the relentless Selkirk College attack. “Each line contributes in a different way and brings a different ele-ment to the program.”
In Friday’s 9-1 drub-bing, Calvin and Vlanich had four-point nights with two goals and two assists, while Sookro pitched in with three helpers.
After a scoreless first period, Selkirk jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the second, then erupt-ed for six goals in the third period for the 9-1 win.
The Saints got points from 15 players, and goals from Tanner Lenting, Richard Gratz, Matt Martin, Tyler Kerner, and Dane Feeney rounded out the scoring.
The Saints have now played all four BCIHL teams that stand be-tween them and a fourth straight league title.
With a goal differen-
tial of plus-25 and five of the league’s top-10 scorers, the Saints have made a statement early on.
Despite the success, Heaven says there is plenty of work to be done before the real celebration can begin.
“There are good teams in this league, there is going to be some ups and downs over the season,” says Heaven. “It’s not going to be easy. Anytime you are striving for a cham-pionship the process is difficult. The hard work will pay off when you put it in and we’re definitely on the right track.”
The Saints play just four games, all on the road, until the New Year. The next two weekends, Selkirk College travels to Eastern Washington University to take on the Eagles, before winding up 2015 with a pair of crucial games against Trinity Western and SFU Dec. 4-5.
Saints notes:After Ryan Edwards
was awarded BCIHL Player of the Week last week, Jamie Vlanich was given consider-ation for this week’s award for his six point weekend. However, the PoW was given to SFU’s Graham Smerek for a three-point game against EWU on Saturday.
Dallas Calvin was named Rookie of the Month in the BCIHL, and Saints goalie James Prigone was awarded Goaltender of the Month.
Calvin led the league, scoring 10 times and racking up 15 points in October, while Prigone led all goalies in wins, 3, goals against, 2.42, and save percentage .906.

BY TIMES STAFFTrail Smoke Eaters
goaltender Bailey MacBurnie was named the BCHL Player of the Week after stoning the Nanaimo Clippers on Friday and the Merritt Centennials the next night.
MacBurnie back-stopped the Smokies to wins in both games last week and was a game star in each con-test.
The product of Beverly, Massachusetts stopped 47 shots and took second star in a 6-1 Trail win over visiting Nanaimo and turned aside 34 shots the next night for first star on the road as Trail downed Merritt 3-2.
Over the two games, MacBurnie had a .964 save percentage to go along with a 1.50 goals-against average.
The Smoke Eaters played the Penticton Vees on Tuesday night at the Cominco Arena but due to the Remembrance Day holiday a game sum-mary won’t be avail-able until Friday. Trail hosts the Cowichan Valley Capitals on Friday night with the puck drop at 7:30 p.m. and the Victoria Grizzlies on Sunday with a 3 p.m. start.
Albo comes back, steals point from VanYzerlooBY TIMES CONTRIBUTOR
This past week in the Kootenay Savings Super League curling, Team Albo and Team VanYzerloo waged a great back-and-forth affair in a battle of second and third place teams at the Trail Curling Club.
The teams were tied at 3-3 after five ends, when things started to tilt VanYzerloo’s way with a steal of one in the sixth, and looking for more in the seventh.
Skip Darrin Albo, staring at four VanYzerloos stones, calmly drew to the four foot to tie the game again. Skip VanYzerloo got momentum back with a three in the eighth, but Albo made two bril-liant draws in the ninth to be one down coming home. The Rossland skip followed that up with a perfect raise behind cover in the 10th that Dutchy couldn’t out-draw for an Albo steal and an exciting 7-7 tie game.
The Heather Nichol rink was in tough against first place Corvus Construction skipped by Deane
Horning. Corvus curled a brilliant game, conceding nothing to the Nichol rink, stealing the second, third, fourth sev-enth and eighth ends for a 10-2 victory.
Team Myron Nichol took advantage of their hammer situations scoring deuces on his first three opportunities to lead 6-2 after five ends over Team Beauchamp. It didn’t get any better for the Beauchamp in the latter stages of the game, as all Russ could manage were singles in the sixth, eighth and 10th
ends for a 9-4 Nichol win.Team Umpherville jumped out to a 4-1 lead
against Team Fines, but skip Ken, the wily veteran, didn’t panic, stealing the fourth and fifth ends to tie the game 4-4 after five. The teams traded sin-gles before Umpherville was forced to take one in the eighth. Fines blanked the ninth to be one down coming home with the hammer. Fines’ third, Steve Greenwood made a perfect hit and roll behind two guards to turn the end around, leading to an im-pressive three for Fines and an 8-6 win.

Penticton Vees to host championshipS U B M I T T E D
The Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) has approved the Penticton Vees’ and the city of Penticton’s bid to host the 2017 Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup (WCC) at the South Okanagan Events Centre.
The Vees had earlier been approved by the BCHL as the winning bidders for the event. This latest news officially clears the way for the Vees and Penticton to prepare to host the best teams from the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL), Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL), Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) and Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) to see who will qualify for the 2017 RBC Cup.
“Penticton’s track record on and off the ice speaks for itself as one of the most success-ful franchises across the CJHL and is certainly well-deserving of the opportunity to host one of Canada’s premier junior events,” said CJHL President Kirk Lamb. “The strength of the Vees
organization and the BCHL, combined with the community and region’s enthusiasm for junior hockey, will ensure that the 2017 event will be one of the best ever.”
The return of the WCC to B.C. marks the start of the second cycle through each of the four leagues as host of the event. Nanaimo hosted the inaugural WCC in 2013, followed by Dauphin, Man. in 2014 and Fort McMurray, Alta. this past April and May. The 2016 WCC will be hosted by Estevan, Sask.
The Vees are the current defending WCC cham-pions and are so far doing their best to get back and represent the BCHL again as they are on a 19-game win streak and rated No. 1 in Canada. While no team has won back-to-back WCC titles, Penticton would love to be the first with an eye on a three-peat in 2017 on home ice.
“My plan was to raise the overall business opera-tion of our organization and to target bringing the 2017 WCC to Penticton,” said Vees head coach, general manager and president Fred Harbinson. “This is an exciting time for our returning play-ers, staff, ownership and the South Okanagan Events Centre.
“The entire city of Penticton along with our faithful fans will benefit from this marquee cham-pionship.”
With the WCC starting its second tour of Western Canada, the BCHL and Penticton have a unique opportunity to further solidify the tourna-ment as a highlight on the hockey calendar.
“The Vees have become a brand name in Junior A hockey in our country and have an ideal venue to host the WCC in the South Okanagan Events Centre,” said BCHL commissioner John Grisdale. “We look forward to supporting them in the pro-cess of hosting and know they’ll do a first-rate job.”
The 2017 Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup in Penticton is currently set to run from April 28 to May 7, 2017.
Art Classes with Deborah. Age group 6 to 8 runs Wednesday’s 3 to 4:30 p.m., Nov. 18 to Dec. 2. Age group 9 to 12 runs Thursday’s 3 to 4:30 p.m., Nov. 19 to Dec. 3.

SCOREBOARD
THE ASSOCIATED PRESSLONDON - The IOC
suspended Lamine Diack as an honor-ary member Tuesday and said it was ready to strip medals from any Russian athletes found guilty of doping and consider retesting samples from the Sochi Olympics.
The International Olympic Committee convened an urgent meeting of its executive board by video confer-ence to consider what action to take in re-sponse to the corrup-tion and doping crisis engulfing track and field.
The board agreed on the provisional sus-pension of Diack, the former IAAF president who was placed under investigation by French authorities last week on charges of corruption and money-laundering related to the cover-up of Russian doping cases.
Diack served as a full IOC member for 15 years until 2014, when he reached the manda-tory retirement age of 80 and became an hon-orary member.
The IOC also acted on the damning report released Monday by a World Anti-Doping Agency panel that al-leged a widespread, state-sponsored dop-ing program in Russia, implicating the govern-ment and intelligence services as well as ath-letes, coaches and team officials.
The WADA commis-sion, headed by IOC member Dick Pound, recommended that Russia’s track and field federation be suspend-ed until it cleans up its act on doping. The IAAF is scheduled to decide Friday whether to suspend Russia, a move which could keep Russian athletes out of next year’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

TODAY’S CROSSWORD
LEISURE
Dear Annie: My mother has never been a big eater, but in the past year, she seems to have de-veloped a serious eating disorder. At age 62, she skips meals regu-larly and has shrunk to a bony 90 pounds. Her skin is sagging, her hair is thinning, and she is very irritable.
Mom acts superior about her size and often criticizes other peoples’ weight or eating habits. Oddly, she watches cooking shows all day, swaps recipes with me and cooks for everyone else. But she only eats her own “special” food. When I call it to her attention, she denies it and says she’s simply watching what she eats.
I think it’s ridiculous that a woman in her 60s is behaving like a teenage girl. I am her only daughter and apparently the only one in the family who realizes what a big deal this is. My dad and brothers think she’s just a health freak.
I have cut back on my visits because I don’t want my young daughters to be exposed to such
a terrible female role model when they already struggle with their own body image issues. I’m also worried that there will be serious health consequences if Mom doesn’t start eating normally. What should I do? -- Worried and Annoyed
Dear Worried: Please try to be less annoyed. Your mother sounds anorexic. While you are right that anorexia is more common in teenage girls, it can affect both men and women of any age. This is a mental health problem. Mom’s self-worth is tied to how thin she is, and she doesn’t recognize that she’s in serious trouble.
Anorexia can cause heart prob-lems and bone loss, kidney fail-ure and even death. You can-not force Mom to seek help, but you can get information and suggestions on how to approach her by contacting the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa
and Associated Disorders (anad.org) and the National Eating
Disorders Association (nationaleatingdisor-ders.org).
Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Frantic Mom,” who desperately wanted help for her middle-aged son who is ad-dicted to drugs and in need of psychiatric help. She said her late husband was a veteran
and asked whether she was eli-gible for benefits.
You recommend several organi-zations, including the VA. Please tell her to also check with her local VA hospital and the Disabled American Veterans. Both of these organizations have highly trained service officers to help veterans and their families obtain the ben-efits to which they are entitled. If she has trouble, an officer from any local Veterans of Foreign Wars post should be able to connect her to the right people.
I hope this helps. -- Kathleen Blake, Past Erie County President, Ladies Auxiliary to the VFW
Dear Kathleen Blake: We ap-preciate the additional suggestion and hope that “Frantic Mom” will look into all avenues of assistance. We would also like to take this
opportunity to send our veterans our best wishes on this Veterans Day. Thank you so much for your service.

Myths & realities:
“Mom, they don’t murder girls”
▾ MYTH: Girls and women aren’t allowed to join gangs: Reality: Girls are joining gangs across Canada and there are many documented reports of
them being extremely violent. Girls are often used to hold and/or transport drugs
and/or guns because the girls and the gangsters don’t think
that the police will stop the girl…they are wrong.
Brianna Kinnear’s mother,
along with her daughter’s dog Ferdinand, sit on a memorial bench dedicated to her daughter’s brutal gang murder in 2009. Brianna’s murder remains unsolved.
