A cloud hangs over Canada on the heels of Wednesday’s attack in Ottawa where a soldier was gunned down and another soldier’s tragic death on Monday in Quebec. Thursday, the Royal Canadian Legion branches across the country, including Branch #11 in Trail, lowered its flags to half mast in respect of their fallen comrades and families.

CUPE Local 1285 has voted overwhelmingly to accept the lat-est contract with School District 20 (SD20) in last weekend’s final vote.
The contract passed by a land-slide 94 per cent “Yes” vote, but that was only after a couple of topics were put on the table for negotiation.
Roger Smith, president of the Local 1285, says one point of debate was whether support staff workers with SD20 would have to transport students in their care to events and activities in their per-sonal vehicles.
“They had been expected to drive students in their personal vehicles and it was in well over three-quarters of the job descrip-tions,” he said, adding that CUPE and the school board came to an agreement on the matter after a few long days around the nego-tiation table. “We got that rectified and the board will be creating three new classifications (for stu-dent transportation).”
Smith says that part of the agreement was for support staff to look at every other possible mode of transportation before resorting to using their own cars to drive students.
“If someone doesn't have a problem driving the student (in their personal vehicle), they can apply for one of these three clas-sifications,” he said, adding that this was a big point of debate for the local CUPE. “We have also come to an agreement that all other avenues will be looked at first, meaning transit, taxis and any other mode of transportation before personal vehicles come into it. That was huge. That was a line in the sand where it would have been a strike issue for us.”
Now that SD20 and the Local 1285 have ratified both their sides of the agreement, the contract moves to the provincial level,

When politics enters kids’ sport, the waters tend to become mud-died.
The latest casualty caught in the region's recreational tailspin is the Greater Trail Stingrays Swim Club.
The decades-old institution has taught countless youth how to become strong swimmers, and the other traits that come with dedica-tion to a sport – the value of team-work, discipline and focus.
Above all, the swimming club embraces fair play with the philoso-phy that keeping fit is fun.
The problem today is that the club needs to be thrown a financial lifeline to stay afloat because with no recreational partnership in place with the City of Trail (other than Warfield), the user-pay system is too expensive for most families; and the club's primary source of revenue, Stingray membership, was cut in half a few years ago.
Club fees are reasonable at $125 for 10 winter swimming sessions that include coaching instruction.
When that cost is combined with the non-negotiable $347 sports pass fee for 17 young swimmers from Rossland and two from the Beaver Valley, the price overhead becomes $47 per training session to use the Trail pool.
And forget about the kids using the hot tub or steam room, because that fee only covers the use of a lane to swim.
“That's a bit heavy for a sev-en-year old,” says Billy Merry, the Stingray's president and registrar. “The fees are one thing,” he con-tinued. “But the black cloud sur-rounding this is most troubling. I feel we are the political football being passed from council to coun-cil.”
The learning curve to run the Stingrays has been a challenge for Merry and his executive after the parents stepped up on-the-fly a few years ago, when the previ-ous board left to operate the TRAX (Trail Regional Aquatic Excellence) swim club.

Leonard Sipes of Community Development Services is one of many tack-ling the annual task of cleaning up leaves along the sidewalks of down-town Trail. Judging by the weather and cooling temperatures, Sipes will be out with his leaf blower again soon.
FROM PAGE 1the BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA), for a final read through and ratification.
“The board has already ratified their portion, we have ratified ours and now it has to go to the provin-cial bargaining unit,” said Smith. “Once all three parties ratify it, the contract goes into effect.”
The process of negotiating the contract was tense, says Smith, but overall, he says he is happy with the way everything ended.
“We had to give up a couple of issues they had, and it all came together where it ended up in a tradeoff,” he said. “We gave up some things that we wanted, but
in return, we got some things we wanted. I think we got a good deal, it is fair. I think it was well done.”
Smith also wants to give credit where credit is due when it comes to the negotiation practices on the SD20 side of the bargaining table.
“I just want to say that the board really moved from their stance on certain things from a year ago, when I became president,” he said. “They have moved a lot in this round of bargaining. They were long days (of negotiations) and it got a bit testy at times, but quite honestly, I think it was a good deal for both sides.”
The deadline for local negotia-tions is Nov. 30, but a deal was reached far ahead of the deadline.
FROM PAGE 1“This was a brand new job and we missed two
gaming grant opportunities over technicalities,” he explained. “We didn’t have a financial officer in place, and the biggest fundraiser, which is our membership, was down by half.”
Traditionally, the club covered the sports pass charge upfront, then stood before Rossland coun-cil to request reimbursement as a team.
“Rossland gave us what was left in their account,” said Merry. “But our cycle of regis-tering is early October, and the submission for TRP recovery is Sept. 30,” he explained. “We got the crumbs. But I am learning and next time I will be the first in queue.”
The club still has about $8,000 outstanding and no money to cover it, added Merry.
With no other source of revenue at this time, at the suggestion of Rossland council, he is plan-ning to approach Trail officials Monday to request a grant from the city.
“This is not my mandate,” he said. “I shouldn’t be having to sell kids recreation to the commun-ities, but things are critical right now.”
Merry recalled his days on the Trail Stingrays back in the ‘70s, when municipalities were united as a common area with common interests.
“We’ve stopped that now,” he said. “Instead of councils coming to work with us, we are chal-lenged to go to each one and defend why we are here and what we are doing.”
The impotency of our political system is being downloaded to the kids, he maintains. “Maybe on our watch this club will come to an end. That’s a hard thing to say.”
Another option to keep young swimmers in the pool, just not in Trail, is to fold the Stingrays and amalgamate with Castlegar so the kids wouldn’t have to pay TRP fees.
But Merry doesn’t consider that a favourable move for his team.
“We are treated very well by the staff at the Trail pool,” he said. “They honour our previous year’s booking and hold those lane times for us. The Trail Aquatic Centre is our home pool and ironically, we are proud of that.”

OPEN HOUSE
The Trail Times offered the opportunity for municipal candidates in Warfield, Trail, Montrose, Fruitvale and Salmo as well as school trustee candidates to introduce
themselves to our readership and answer some basic questions.
• What is the #1 challenge you see facing the council, committee or board you wish to join? What is your strategy to resolve it?
• What outstanding issue from the last three years needs to be resolved?
The candidates were asked to limit their answers to approximately 400 words to allow space for all candidates to reply. The Trail Times edited some replies for length but the words are those written by candidates running in the upcoming municipal election.
Some candidates chose not to reply.Candidates appear alphabetically with mayors and councillors separated.
Henry Huser – MayorHenry Huser is running
for Mayor of Salmo after liv-ing in the area for 59 years. The husband and father of three received an electron-ic technician diploma from Selkirk College, and has been a self-employed business owner for over 40 years.
The 61-year old has vol-unteered for a variety of the village's not-for-profit
groups, including the Salmo Ski Hill, Salmo Rink Association, Salmo Celebrations Society and the Salmo Valley Swimming Pool Society.
My wife and I have raised three children in Salmo. Now that my children are older, I feel that it is my time to serve the community in a public
office position.I have not yet held a public office position
but I have worked closely with the past councils many times over the decades. I am familiar with the mechanical workings of the infrastructure and I believe that keeping them operating is like a business.
I have volunteered for many of Salmo’s non-profit organizations during the last 40 years, I believe that in a small rural community – volun-teers are a necessity.
I am entering into this race with an open mind and a keen interest to learn the why’s and how’s of running a village.
I am sure that there will be many hills and valleys along the road of the new mayor, as there are in all of life’s journeys, but I am up for the challenge.
HenryHuser
Dennis McLean –MayorI am running for Mayor
of Salmo. I am 64 years old and Salmo has been my home town for 50 years, 45 of which I have shared with my wife and raised a family of three children. We pres-ently have 4 generations of family here so I have a vested interest in Salmo doing well. Salmo for a town of about 1200 residents has an amaz-
ing amount of amenities, which make it a great place, and efforts need to be made to keep them all in place.
The day-to-day business of the town must operate smoothly and spending must be wise and responsible. The village staff must have a sense of security and good morale. Recent staff turn over and restructuring has been questionable. A happy staff performs well. Good management will result in less legal costs.
In recent times harmony in the community has suffered, largely because of the changes in town and the secrecy of the reasoning. It has to be kept in mind who the boss is and that is the community.
There needs to be a mechanism of complete open communication with the community so that their needs are met and all stakeholders are on the same page and better understand why decisions are made the way they are.
The infrastructure needs to be a priority espe-cially assurances that the sewage and water sys-
tems meet requirements, currently and ongoing. Curb appeal of the town is important and is mainly ongoing work for the village staff. Bylaws and enforcement, if managed properly, create an even playing field for everyone and contribute to a happier community.
I have an extensive employment history and a proven work record that I always get the job done effectively and efficiently. I have gained a wide range of knowledge and experience from my employment history. I have worked for small and large contractors in logging and mining. I’ve worked for many construction compan-ies. I worked as a heavy duty mechanic for Finning Tractor (caterpillar dealer). I worked for ICBC in the compliance operations department. I worked for BC Hydro in power line construc-tion. I’ve worked for various ministries with the Province of BC Government in enforcement pro-grams (held Peace Officer Status) and Audit (ISO Certified) positions.
If on Nov 15 2014, I am privileged enough to be able to work for the community I will bring my common sense, diligence and dedication to do my part in keeping Salmo moving forward to be a great community. I mentioned my part because everything is done as a team effort and not any one person has all the decision making power.
I’m able, ready and willing to devote the time and energy required to serve the town and resi-dents. I am a genuine person, I’m not looking for any fame or glory and my only agenda is for the town to do well.
DennisMcLean
Stephen White – MayorI am a retired public ser-
vice union officer. First coming to this area in the 1970s I knew that when the time came to retire this was where I wanted to live. Salmo is a wonderful com-munity with tremendous potential and we’ve been happy with our decision to make this our home.
My work experience with democratically elected non- profit organizations provides a sound founda-tion for the work a village mayor must be comfortable with. My understanding of the various laws governing B.C. municipalities and how to conduct meetings together with my experience in organiza-tional budgeting will assist the new Council in our work.
I am an active volunteer in my community serving on the Village of Salmo’s Board of Variance, the Board of the Salmo Valley Youth and Recreation Center and the Ymir Schoolhouse Society Board.
The greatest challenge facing a new mayor and council will be regaining the trust of village resi-dents. With no published audited financial statements since the 2012 statement and so many decisions
and agreements reached during inappropriate, secret ‘in camera’ meetings the people of Salmo have been virtually shut out of the democratic process.
The priorities will include an immediate and detailed audit of the vil-lage’s finances and financial practices including the ‘no tender’ awarding of con-tracts. This must be fol-lowed by a public meeting and full disclosure of the
results. We need to work and share information with our Chamber of Commerce and the various service and other organizations who do so much for this village. Only by welcoming their input and opin-ions can we begin to build trust and mend our sense of community. The practice of holding a question period at the end of each Council meeting, which the current admin-istration ended a year ago, must be reinstated. The people have a right to know.
To remedy our problems we need a clear financial picture and we need to rebuild relationships. I look forward to serving our village over the next four years and ask for your support to do so.

Ken Anderson – Councillor
Dan Danforth – Councillor
My name is Ken Anderson I am running for council for the Village of Salmo. I’m 66 years old and worked for the village for 21 years. I took an early retirement about eight years ago. After retir-ing I contracted looking after a couple of water systems, including helping Salmo with my experience and knowledge. I’m active in the community, volunteering about 20 years with the fire department [ retired ], active 25+ years at Salmo ski hill, member of the Salmo Lions
club and joined the chamber of commerce within the last year.
The number one challenge would be to keep the village moving forward and making improvements. The infrastructure is at the age of needing upgrades or replacement . With my experience and knowledge I feel I could be an asset to the town.
As I’m new to politics my learn-ing curve would be great. The mayor and council is a team effort for the good of the town. I am looking for-ward to the challenge if elected.
I moved to Salmo some years ago after retiring from a full career in our military. We chose Salmo as our new home, because after having worked and travelled literally coast-to-coast and North to South in this great country, we wanted to settle in the best place we knew – Salmo.
However, we arrived at a time when Salmo was reaching a com-munity turning point. Changes in the local economy, government regulations, the social character of the village, lower availability of municipal funding, and other fac-tors, conspired with an unrespon-sive and ineffective mayor and council to Salmo’s disadvantage.
I will not use this forum to air
our dirty laundry. We ourselves can, and will, reverse the damage and neglect done to our reputation, our infrastructure, and our public services. This election is the best opportunity for Salmo to put in place a new mayor and councillors . New people who will have respect for the public they represent, and who will be responsive and respon-sible to those people. Salmo needs a council that will be effective at looking after Salmo’s best interests, where opportunities are exploited to our advantage. A mayor and council that takes us into a future where Salmo can thrive and grow, and heal the injuries we have done.

otenovember 15th
for Councillor City of Trail
FROM PAGE 3As a councillor, I will work with mayor, coun-
cil, and administration to promote and improve every possible aspect of Salmo, from business to parks. I will happily work with the chamber of commerce, service clubs, and private citizens to achieve as much for Salmo’s betterment as possible. Salmo has much more potential for business, recreation, education, and living space.
We only have to work as a community to make it happen.
To do this, council and administration busi-ness practices must be made transparent, fair, and done right. A new mayor and council must work with open two-way communication to regain the trust and confidence of our commun-ity. I look forward to being a part of that new turning point, if the voters so choose.
Steven Dimock – CouncillorI’m 53 and was raised
in Salmo. After graduating from high school, I worked at a local sawmill for a few years and eventually saved up enough money to go to BCIT, where I graduated with a dip-loma in Biomed Engineering.
I met my wife in Vancouver and we started a family, but the travel I was doing with my job became too much and
we decided that the city was not where we want-ed to raise our family.
After working in Kamloops at the Royal Inland Hospital, and in the Prince George Regional Hospital, a biomed position came up in Trail, so we were able to return to the area.
When we moved back I had always thought I would eventually run for council, and events seem to be coming together for me to have the time to dedicate to that now.
I’ll be retiring out of the 44th army reserves shortly and I’m having a little trouble reading the pressure on and SCBA bottle without my glasses, so it’s time to pass the torch on to the next generation in both the Army Reserves and
Salmo Fire Dept. The top challenges that I see facing our vil-
lage are that there are a few, legal, financial and staffing issues outstanding, not the indicators of a healthy organization that I would hope to see.
The main experience that will help me make a contribution is that over the years I have been a member of the Interior Health-wide biomed leadership team.
Interior Health has equipped me to deal with problems through training. I’ve taken several courses with the priority placed on being able to successfully supervise employees and work as a productive member of a team.
I’ve had a seat at capital equipment commit-tee tables every year, and every year we’ve dealt with the fact that there are about three times as many requests as there are dollars to spend, dif-ficult decisions are made every year. But when people work together, with an eye on what is the best we can do with the resources we have, dif-ficult doesn’t have to mean impossible.
I’ve been fortunate to be a part of several smooth running teams and committee’s and I think that experience will help me to make a contribution to the Village of Salmo through the council.
Dan Danforth – Councillor
StevenDimOck
Merle Hanson –CouncillorI’ve worked
in the sawmill, logging indus-try, transporta-tion hauling wood chips and pulp, from a teenager until retire-ment (total of 50 plus years). I was elected as a Commissioner in 1965 (renamed to
alderman) for a total of 12 years, ran as mayor for 22 years, now finishing six years as councillor.
The number-one challenge facing our community is maintaining our current level of services. Salmo has many services and functions with participation from Area G and their director. If it wasn’t for the com-bined effort, we wouldn’t have as many of the functions that we may have begun to take for granted.
We need to keep up efforts being made to keep the present servi-ces and functions at the present level, that are not possible without
increased funding or allowing our present infrastructure to continue to deteriorate (streets and side-walks). We don’t want to have to use the rob-Peter-to-pay-Paul approach in order to fund what might be considered to be more favorable functions. Alternative approaches to funding may need to be looked at.
We are currently working on improvements in our water system and we need to continue to ensure sufficient supply for our personal use as well as fire protection. We need to have more money in reserve in order to participate in future available grants that may come available.
Without having money set aside, we will not be able to participate in some grant programs as they have stipulations that you must contrib-ute a portion of the money in order to receive match funding.
There are varying methods in the taxation process of raising money so each alternative should be con-sidered and the preferable method utilized. We need to ensure that our wishes do not exceed our ability to pay.

Dan Isaacs – Councillor
Janine Haughton – Councillor
I was born and raised in the West Kootenay and have lived in this area for all of my 45 years. I have been a resident of Salmo for the past 13 years. I have three young children with my wife Tanya. I am employed by Teck Metals in Trail, I've been there for seven years. I have experi-ence in supervision, project coordination and
operations. I've worked in the logging, mining and lumber industries, in this area, all of my life. I attended post secondary school at Selkirk College in Nelson, BC.
The biggest challenge to village council in Salmo right now is lack of representation for people in my age range and demographic. Youth and people with young families have had very little to no representation on council for
years. Salmo village council is in desperate need of a culture change.
The key to Salmo's success lies in voting in a council with a positive attitude. A council that can work as a team and work with the citizens of Salmo in open and honest communication. Salmo needs a fresh, new generation of council members. There are infrastructure challenges that every small village faces and we need to have a council that is prepared to take ownership of those projects and make the right decisions to get them completed.
We have a number of outstanding projects that have sat incomplete for years i.e. road upgrades, Bailey Bridge project and an aging sewer system. Some of these projects are "shovel ready" and have been, in some cases, for many years. But there has been a lack of a council that will take ownership of these projects, come to an agreement, and start moving them forward. Start moving Salmo forward.

Salmo candidates forum on Oct. 29The Salmo and District Chamber of Commerce will be hosting an
all-candidates forum on Wednesday, Oct. 29 at the Salmo Valley Youth and Community Centre. The public event will begin at 6:30 p.m. and conclude at 8:30 p.m.
The number one challenge facing all small communities being the constant downloading and federal and provincial cut backs on govern-ment funding.
One strategy to combat this, to join in part-nerships with other municipalities to share big ticket expenses and expertise in all areas such as
– human resources, engineer-ing, financial etc.
An outstanding issue at this moment is the acqui-sition of a new Fast Attack vehicle. Which our fire depart-ment really needs. Janine

Diana Lockwood – CouncillorI was born in Salmo and
have lived here most of my life. I work full time as a Licensed Practical Nurse. I have been actively attending Salmo council and Committee of a Whole meetings during the last council term.
There are many challenges to face for the new council, from ineffective leadership,
unusually high spending on legal fees, a high employee turnover and a lack of open and trans-parent governance.
I believe the number one challenge will be get-ting control of the spending. If elected to Salmo council I will remember that I was elected by the residents of Salmo to represent them and govern accordingly. Money doesn’t grow on the proverb-ial tree, but must instead be primarily raised through taxation. We need this money to be spent wisely on the important things like water and sewer, roads and sidewalks, fire protection and parks; and avoid costs associated with avoidable legal fees, skyrocketing administrative salaries, and pet projects. There has yet to be a completed audit for 2013. Why is this?
My biggest concern over the last three years; and therefore, the largest outstanding issue is the overly large increases in the budget with nothing substantial to show for it. Working as a nurse I know the importance of teamwork. I know that
my experience living in Salmo and my dedication to making it a better community will help me be part of a new council team that can make the changes we need.

Dan Isaacs – CouncillorFROM PAGE 4
I would like to be part of a coun-cil that works toward making our village a safe place to raise children. Safe sidewalks, for example, and snow removal.
We need our parks maintained and we should be looking at creat-ing new areas where our kids can
play and learn safely. I’d like to work on Salmo becom-
ing a destination for travellers, and a place to stay and support our local businesses.
Salmo has a fantastic opportu-nity for change. I would like to encourage everyone to come out and vote Nov 15.
I am 67 years old and I am run-ning for council-lor in Salmo. I have lived in the Salmo area for more than 26 years. In the past year I have attended most council and Committee of the Whole meetings. I have
found that there have been many discussions that need public input that are being made behind closed doors and money is being spent
without public knowledge. I have over 40 years experience running small businesses and many years doing volunteer work and sitting as a director for a non-profit society.
In my opinion, governments are elected as a management team to run the businesses of the people (tax payers) in a fiscally responsible way, not raise taxes to buy unneed-ed toys or trips.
Salmo needs people that can work together to get things done – not sit and argue over the spell-ing of a word. My mission is to see Salmo prosper, not lose local busi-nesses, but support them and not tax people out of their homes.

My husband, Fred, and I moved to Salmo in 1993 with our two oldest children who were 5 and 1 at the time. We knew right away that this was where we wanted to stay.
In Salmo, there are so many ways to become involved in the community, and we did! As an Early Childhood Educator with two young chil-dren, it became appar-ent to me that there was a child care crisis in the community, so I worked with the Board of the Salmo Child Care Society to create the beautiful Salmo Children’s Centre, which continues to serve over 100 families each year. I am also proud to be a found-ing member of the environmental organ-ization, GreenDream, and sit on countless local and regional organizations and committees that relate to health, social servi-ces, child care, educa-
tion and the environ-ment.
If I can make three promises they are; that I will handle all interactions with the respect and caring that the residents of Salmo deserve, that I will properly research and prepare for all decisions that I make on their behalf, and that I will represent the residents of Salmo in a professional and intelligent manner in council chambers and at regional and provin-
cial tables.With any munici-
pality or non-profit organization, the ongoing challenges stem from increasing demand for decreasing financial resources.
I am looking for-ward to finding new resources that are available to rural municipalities to help improve infrastruc-ture, and continuing to look for creative ways to use the funds that we do have avail-able, wisely.

OPINION
We have to be smarter to stop extremismTwo immediate
and overpower-ing impressions emerge follow-
ing the shooting death of a Canadian soldier in Ottawa.
The first is that our national security sucks. It’s hard to believe that a country that has so open-ly declared and demon-strated its hostility toward extremist organizations like al-Qaeda and ISIL would not have been better prepared for the inevitable retaliatory strike on our home soil. There should have been a lot of armed guards on the grounds of Parliament Hill.
Granted, we can’t for-get than an intruder did recently manage to get into the White House in Washington, a place that is known to set a higher standard of secur-ity than Ottawa. U.S. Secret Security chief Julia Pierson resigned over that one. Perhaps heads will roll in Canada, too.
This is not the observa-tion of a Monday-morning quarterback; it is the
simple question many Canadians much surely be asking as they assimi-late this tragedy. How could a guy who had just used a shotgun to kill a Canadian solider at the War Memorial then make his way to the Centre Block and get inside unob-structed? It seems incon-ceivable that our secur-ity experts could not have taken more thorough pre-cautions to short-circuit such an attack.
News reports point out that in 2012 Canada’s auditor-general identified gaps in security around the parliamentary precinct. Frankly, failure to act on that report is no excuse. The RCMP is mandated to protect the grounds, and it is clear they didn’t do so because they were still thinking of Canada as a place militants couldn’t be bothered with. Such 1950s thinking doesn’t work in our 21st century reality.
The second impression is that we now have all the proof we need that it is time to do some soul-searching on why young
Canadian men are being drawn into extremist organizations.
There have been a series of news reports of young Canadians, including a number in my home town of Calgary, who have been gone overseas to fight for ISIL. Such organizations use techniques that west-erners consider barbaric and even evil. Yet, there are still many misconcep-tions as to why.
MI5, the British intel-ligence agency, has looked at the issue in depth. Its research suggests that the majority of recruits are not driven by deep religious faith; a finding that runs
contrary to the popular notion of Muslim radicals. MI5 found instead that “a well-established religious identity actually protects against violent radicaliza-tion.”
Instead, they are drawn by political reasons, or personal causes, such as economic disadvantage. Some of them just end up with the wrong crowd, such as friends or asso-ciates who are involved in criminal activity. The religious term “jihad” is reinterpreted in a way that serves their personal objectives or ideology. The phenomenon is not so dif-ferent from what leads to the formation of any street gang in any city.
More research is need-ed, but the MI5 findings suggest a course of action. Youth who are marginal-ized seek out their own communities of inter-est. Sometimes, those communities get up to no good. If our society expects to change the trend, then we’ll have to find ways to make those young (mostly) men feel
fully integrated into our society.
In other words, we have to invest in our youth to a greater degree than we are doing now.
Make sure they have the jobs they need to suc-ceed. Ensure they can afford to attend school. Make it easier for them to become part of the lar-ger social network. Listen more carefully to them, so that we can respond more quickly to their needs. And, whenever pos-sible, keep them out of our jails, which have proven to be nothing more than highly effective recruiting grounds for vulnerable, alienated youth.
The alternative is to attempt to shut down the shadowy enemy with-in by further stripping Canadians of once-intract-able civil rights. We tried that after 9/11, and all it did was make airport trips unbearable. Let’s try to be smarter this time.

For decades, Canadian consumers have been accustomed to the trad-itional grocery store
where you purchase most of your groceries under one roof once a week or every other week. That model, which emerged in the 1960s, is under serious threat now and may signal the end of the grocery store.
A few key met-rics are telling us that the days of the typical grocery store are numbered. Take Loblaw for example. A good portion of Loblaw’s business, Canada’s current no.1 food retailer, is now related to non-food prod-ucts. Of course, Loblaw rocked the food retailing world last year by purchasing Shoppers Drug Mart for over $12 bil-lion. With this act of brilliance, Loblaw acquired cheap real estate and thereby allowed its major labels like President’s Choice to reach out to urban-ites longing for convenience, healthy food choices, and loyal-ty points. At the same time, consumers will now find sushi and fresh nicoise salad next to medication and makeup. Loblaw is even exploring the idea of a drive-through shop-ping experience.
Loblaw has been quite active in reinventing itself for one reason: Walmart. Because of
Walmart’s spectacular ascent in the food retailing world, every-one else must adjust. With its supercentres, the company now has close to 10 per cent of
the Canadian mar-ket and is striving to become the No.1 food retailer not only in America – where it has held the top spot for years. And in all honesty, numbers are mak-ing it difficult to bet against Walmart’s odds these days.
Online shopping is also another legitimate menace to the traditional grocery store. The virtual world is a channel being exploited by some very important players, particularly south of the border. Amazon, which has tremendous clout in the e-commerce space, has a growing interest in food e-retailing. In fact, it is gaining market share in Los Angeles and San Francisco and may run more pilots in other countries, such as Canada. With our grey-ing population, harsh winters, and increasingly demanding work schedules, online shop-ping is slowly making a case for itself.
Above all of this is the two-headed monster all food retail-ers will need to cope with in the future. On the one hand, boom-ers are slowly retiring with fixed income and depressed pensions. They will be looking for affordable prices as much
as they can. On the other hand, millennials who are becoming increasingly influential link social values to food more than their predecessors do: organics, fair trade, local foods – all are important to them. Farmers markets, known for high price points, are breaking records in sales across the country despite rising food prices in stores. As a result, food demand is becom-ing more fragmented, which makes consumer behaviours more challenging to anticipate.
Food retailers will admit that not every grocery store is equal and most adapt to local needs. Ethnicity and food trends are game changers as well. Many observers predict that 70 per cent of consumer spending growth will come from vis-ible minorities over the next decade. Ethnic and gluten-free products are becoming better and tastier, pleasing growing segments of the market place. But what is trendy one day may not be tomorrow, making it challenging for the food indus-try to recognize which innova-tive features have currency.
For the foreseeable future, large grocery stores will con-tinue to exist, but their num-bers will drop significantly. Unlike the 1960s when one model dominated the market, we will soon see many success-ful strategies emerge to feed Canadians.
Sylvain Charlebois is a professor at the University of Guelph in Ontario.
The grocery store’s slow death
An editorial from the Sydney Cape Breton Post
Sydney-Victoria MP Mark Eyking — one of many in Ottawa under “lockdown” on Wednesday — said “all hell was breaking loose” where he was.
Indeed, that’s how the situa-tion appeared to most people watching the continuously looped video clips from the scene.
In the end, one man — Michael Joseph Paul Zehaf Bibeau — appeared to be responsible. He reportedly fatal-ly shot reservist Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial, carjacked a vehicle and drove it to the nearby Centre Block of Parliament where shots then rang out, and was then shot dead by Parliament’s sergeant-at-arms Kevin Vickers.
The rest of the scene, chaotic as it appeared, was the police doing their work.
There’s little doubt that many bystanders were terror-stricken. Many will mourn the violent death of an innocent young man who was just doing his job.
And we will justifiably ask: What — if anything — could have been done to prevent the tragedy?
Unfortunately, too many of
our political leaders — some of whom are at odds with our military veterans — were quick to take to social media to make ominous and jingoistic com-ments. And they appeared to trip over themselves in the rush to dub Vickers a hero.
The role of sergeant-at-arms is largely symbolic. Previously, the most pressing unexpected situation Vickers had to deal with was gently escorting parliamentary page Brigette DePape out of the Senate cham-ber after she held up a “Stop Harper!” sign during the speech from the throne on June 3, 2011.
It appears Vickers did what he had to do on Wednesday. And he is to be commended for that.
Unfortunately, there are those of a xenophobic and/or jingoistic bent who will see Vickers — an older, steely eyed, lantern-jawed white man — as some sort of like-minded aven-ger.
They shouldn’t.Just days before DePape’s
silent protest, Jane Taber of the Globe and Mail wrote a piece on Vickers centred around his support for allowing the kirpan — the Sikh ceremonial dagger — to be worn in the House of Commons.
Taber reported on a speech Vickers made during a World Sikh Organization of Canada dinner: “He noted that as a young boy growing up in Miramichi, N.B., he saw his father invite home students from developing countries, who were studying about co-opera-tives at the Coady Institute at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S. Sitting around the dining room table and lis-tening to their stories, he said, he learned to respect the cul-ture and dignity of others.”
Recalling his interview for his current position, Vickers said: “I told them that if they made me their sergeant-at-arms, there would be no walls built around Canada’s Parliamentary buildings.”
In a statement on Wednesday, Green party Leader Elizabeth May said in part: “Today is not a day that ‘changes everything.’ It is a day of tragedy. We must ensure we keep our responses proportionate to whatever threat remains.”
We agree. The government should respond proportionally to the remaining threat while ensuring that, as Kevin Vickers has insisted, walls aren’t built around our Parliament build-ings.
Ottawa tragedy doesn’t ‘change everything’

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Lawyer
Barbara Winters was headed to a meeting Wednesday near her
office at the Canada Revenue Agency when she passed the National War Memorial, stop-ping to snap a few pic-
tures of the two hon-our guards standing soberly at attention.
Moments later, after passing by a Canada Post office at the cor-ner of Elgin and Sparks streets, she heard four shots. For Winters, a former member of the Canadian Forces Naval Reserve, the sounds were unmistakable.
Turning, she saw people on Elgin Street ducking. She began to run - not towards safety, but towards the shots, and the wound-ed soldier lying at the foot of the memorial.
As Winters ran, she looked for - but couldn’t see - the two soldiers. Her mind went to the hit-and-run death in Quebec of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent two days ear-lier, and she instinct-ively knew the honour guards had been tar-geted.
As she reached the memorial, Winters
saw four people bend-ing over a fallen sol-dier. She dropped her purse and briefcase on the steps and began to help.
Margaret Lerhe, a nurse on her way to work at the Elizabeth Bruyere Hospital, was pressing her hands to a wound on Cpl. Nathan Cirillo’s left side to stanch the bleeding.
Another corporal, a third member of the honour guard who accompanies the two standing at atten-tion, was on Cirillo’s right side, pressing his hands to a wound there.
Another soldier was bent over Cirillo’s head, talking to him.
“You’re doing good, you’re doing good, buddy,” he told Cirillo. “You’re breathing - keep breathing.”
Another passerby was at Cirillo’s feet. Winters, who served as a medic during her 17 years in the Naval Reserve, asked the man to elevate Cirillo’s feet. She loosened his tie.
The group began calling for an ambu-lance, and for police. Winters began to pray, reciting the Lord’s Prayer. She talked to Cirillo. He was con-scious; his eyes were open, and he was star-ing straight ahead. She felt that he could hear her.
“You’re a good man, you’re a brave man,” she told him.
Someone - Winters can’t remember who - said the soldier had stopped breathing.
They began trying to find a pulse, one feeling his neck, one his wrist. Remarkably, everyone on the scene had First Aid or medical training. Instinctively, they began operat-ing as a team, talking and encouraging one another.
They began CPR. The soldier at Cirillo’s head started mouth-to-mouth respiration. Winters began com-pressing Cirillo’s chest.
She asked that the man holding Cirillo’s legs lift them high-er. Lerhe, the nurse, coached Winters on the compressions, reassuring her that they were strong.
After a time, some-one else relieved her on the chest compres-sions, and Winters moved to Cirillo’s head. She talked to him, comforting him.
“You are loved. Your family loves you. You’re a good man,” she told him.
Winters told Cirillo to think about what he was doing - that he’d been standing guard at the National War Memorial. She told him what a good man he was for doing his duty.
She didn’t see a wedding ring, and didn’t know if he was married. So she just kept repeating:
“Your family loves you. Your parents are so proud of you. Your military family loves you.
“All the people here, we’re working so hard for you. Everybody loves you.”
The impromptu team kept waiting for an ambulance, desper-ately willing Cirillo to hang on.
“You are so loved,” Winters told Cirillo. “We’re all trying to help you.”
Sirens signalled the arrival of the paramed-
ics. The paramedics cut open his clothes to assess the injuries, took over the chest compressions and put a neck brace on him.
But Cirillo died in the arms of the people working so hard to keep him alive.
Winters does not think she did any-thing extraordinary by running towards the sound of the shots. She is shaken by the experience, but full of praise for all of those who worked to help.
“No one was hys-terical. Everyone was so calm. Everyone was entirely focused on the soldier and on helping him.”
She has complete admiration for the courage of her fellow helpers, who worked steadily despite the possibility of the dan-ger from another gun-man.
Afterwards, Winters remembered the actions of other women who went to the aid of another dying soldier - Lee Rigby, murdered in southeast London in 2013. As Rigby lay bleeding, several women persuaded his killers to let them go to him. One sat beside him and held him.
Winters did what most people would do, she says.
“When you are dying, you need to be told how loved you are.”

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SLOS ANGELES - Alfred
Wertheimer, the photographer whose portraits of Elvis Presley documented the birth of a music legend, has died.
Wertheimer, who was 85, died of natural causes Sunday at his New York apartment.
Wertheimer was 26 when he was assigned to photograph the unknown 21-year-old singer. He travelled with Elvis from New York to Memphis by train and produced a series of now famous black and white portraits that were the sub-ject of exhibits at the Smithsonian Institution and the Grammy Museum.
“There has been no other pho-tographer that Elvis ever allowed
to get as up close and personal in his life through photos as he did with Alfred,” Priscilla Presley said Tuesday.
“I’m deeply saddened by the death of Alfred Wertheimer. He was a dear friend and special soul. I feel he was a gift for all who knew him especially, Elvis Presley.”
Among the most famous shots: “The Kiss,” a photo of Elvis nuz-zling a woman fan backstage.
Photographs of Elvis recording “Hound Dog” and “Don’t Be Cruel,” reading fan mail, eating alone, star-ing out a train window, playing a piano in an empty studio and walk-ing by himself on a deserted New York street depicted a solitude that later was surrendered to fame and mobs of fans.

Tis the season for “ghosties, and ghoulies and things that go bump in the night.” In modern day language we know this time of year as Hal-loween. We dress our children up, and sometimes ourselves in costumes and go door to door trick or treating.How many of us remember that Halloween origi-nally was a contraction for All Hallows Evening and that All Hallows is the ancient English term for All Saints?All Saints Day is one of the holy days in the Chris-tian calendar and is always observed on Novem-ber 1. All Hallows Evening then is the day that is observed on the evening prior to All Saints or All Hallows Day.Originally All Saints was the day that the Church remembered its martyrs who were not otherwise remembered but over time many congregations use All Saints Day as the day in which we remem-ber all those who have died, especially those who have died in the previous year.
At one point in the history of Halloween we were afraid of dealing with the memories and encoun-ters of those who had died and so we dressed up in costume and engaged in activities to scare them away. I would hope that over the years we have learned not to be frightened of the memories of those who have died. As Christians we believe that those who are dead, are as a result of the resur-rection of Jesus of Nazareth are alive in a mystical way. They surround us on every side and because they have experienced in their lives what we expe-rience in our daily lives they are encouraging us to continue to living out lives of hope and faith.As we dress up in our costumes and go out trick or treating, let us remember those who have gone before us and remembering their example � nd the courage to live lives of meaning and hope today.

Almost 50 years after it first aired, the 1966 Halloween classic, “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”, remains popular. Despite the simple plot and
rudimentary animation, it gets higher television ratings than more sophisticated shows. One reason for this could be its insights into human behavior and the nature of belief.
The plot is straightforward. Linus believes in a Great Pumpkin, a Santa Claus like figure who rises up from the most sincere pumpkin patch on Halloween to drop toys to faithful believers. The rest of the Snoopy gang mock and insult him. Even little Sally, who adores Linus, aban-dons him after waiting in vain for the arrival of the Great Pumpkin. The show ends with Linus working through his disappointment and vehe-mently asserting his belief.
The cartoon touches on a lot of themes; one is the relationship between belief and doubt. In “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”, belief and doubt are bedfellows, existing in relation-ship, not in oppos-ition, to one another.
Linus holds fast to his belief in the Great Pumpkin
despite the overwhelming evidence that refutes its existence, and the crushing disappoint-ment he experiences annually when the Great Pumpkin fails to appear. Yet, Linus moves back and forth between certainty and uncertainty as he struggles to overcome the doubt that threat-ens his belief every Halloween.
Linus is not alone in the struggle to reconcile belief and doubt. From doubting Thomas in the first century to Pope Francis today, theologians have always recognized the presence of doubt and its importance to the spiritual life.
The cartoon also uses the actions of its child characters to subtly probe the foibles of adult behavior.
There is the example of Sally, who blames Linus for her decision to join him in the pump-kin patch. Angry and disappointed because she missed the fun of Halloween, she threatens to sue Linus, shouting at him, “You owe me resti-tution.” While her reaction is comical given her tender age, it pokes fun at the adult world. We might recognize in Sally’s anger our own desire to get even (through the courts if necessary), and our reluctance to consider the ways in which we may have contributed to a problem.
Linus and Charlie Brown, like Sally, have great expectations that quite literally fail to materialize. Linus comes away empty handed from the pumpkin patch, and Charlie Brown ends the night with a bag of rocks instead of candy. In their disappointment, we might recog-nize our own when our actions fail to produce the desired results. We do not always get what we want or think we deserve.
And in the bag of rocks, we might recognize the pain of rejection. Perhaps we were not bul-lied, as Lucy bullies Charlie Brown, but at some point, each of us has carried that bag of rocks.
“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” holds a mirror up to human nature. This may explain, in part, its enduring appeal despite its straightforward story and rudimentary anima-tion in an age of superior technology and elabor-ate story lines.

pedestrians increase in B.C. When you’re driving, take extra precautions to
watch for pedestrians who are harder to see at this time
of year. Do your part to help share our roads safely.
Question of the WeekBob McHugh writes this week about buying a used Nissan Leaf for a price considerably below the price for a new version of the all-electric car. Would you buy a used electric car or would you be worried about its reliability?

A ‘tail’ of horsepower among the rambling poniesThe New Forest, England - Horse-power rules the roads through this picturesque national park on the south coast.Around 4,000 in horsepower charge freely around the almost 57 hectares of flatland, less than half of which is true forest while the rest is made up mainly of marsh and pasture, dotted with an-cient villages. Of course, I’m not talking about powerful sports cars but the real ponies that graze this land.A regal BMW 328i seemed fitting for a journey through a park, declared an exclusive royal hunting ground back in 1079 by King William.There are many road points of entry but I roared in rather rudely via the M27 motorway, which gallops into the area before stopping abruptly at Cadnam. The park’s beauty was evident for the last five kilometres on both sides of the fast track. I pulled on the reins of the 241 horses under the hood. The four-cylinder twin turbo obediently pulled back ever so smoothly.It was early morning and mist shrouded the marshes that suddenly disappeared from sight a couple of kilometres beyond one of the many sleepy villages I passed through. I powered down the front windows and the whine of their motor was the last sound I heard for the next 20 minutes, save the occasional rumble from a cattle grid beneath. The eight-speed sport auto transmission would not be challenged on this terrain and the shift paddles would remain redundant.Gradually, the fog lifted from the narrow lane to reveal marshland as far as the eye could see. In the distance, I spied some of the famed ponies cantering, splashing as they bounded through streams. But the treat was at the roadside ahead. A group of mag-nificent specimens with shiny coats and tails that
occasionally swatted at imaginary flies. They looked at the metal steed that carried me for a few seconds before returning to their breakfast.Soon I was on an A-class road that allowed the BMW to break into a trot though not for long, as my eyes alight-ed on a sign that shouted ‘Ponies don’t dent, THEY DIE’. A short distance away I rolled to a stop at a junction where a diamond road marking reminded me that ponies have the right of way – always. And that was driven home as a line of ten cars followed slowly behind half a dozen horses strolling into a village centre.A stop at the New Forest Centre in Lyndhurst spurred me on to explore the heath land, coloured by late bloom-ing flowers that would soon yield to an autumnal chill. Wildlife abounds
wherever you look but interestingly Beaulieu village (pronounced Bewley) is the home to the fabulous National Motor Museum. After a visit, I pressed on only to be distracted by a car showroom. Not a modern dealership but one that sold only classic and collector cars! I pulled into a picnic area by a small lake. As I chomped on an ox tongue sandwich I remembered a lunch I had with former Bad Company/Free front man Paul Rodgers, now a White Rock resident. He told me he has a recording studio in the New Forest – perhaps, he would sing me a soulful rendition of the blues song ‘Rambling Pony’. I giggled then gasped as I turned to find myself staring eye to eye with a donkey.It backed off as I opened the door to brush the crumbs and specks of meat from the oyster coloured leather seats. It walked around the Bimmer, kicking the tires you might say, seemingly looking over its sleek lines.
I followed closely like an eager salesman, telling him about the car’s finer standard features, its fuel economy (8.7/5.4 L/100kms city/highway), its ability to hit 100 klicks in 7.5 seconds. Maybe that last fact was a bit insensitive, given the nature of the beast before me.He remained silent throughout. ‘What is a donkey doing among all of these horses,’ I thought aloud. He turned, gave me a withering look before shambling away and replied: “Technically, they are ponies – short horses – and having a short ass like me around makes them feel superior.”Smart ass.Price Range: $35,900- $58,300. You can find out more about the car at bmw.ca and the horses – sorry, ponies at newforestnpa.gov.uk

The 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is truly a big people mover.There are three models avail-able; the Hybrid LE, XLE, both of which carry up to eight pas-sengers and the Hybrid Lim-ited that I drove maxes out at
seven.Looks:The designers have given the Highlander a makeover for 2015 with a new grille and more sculpted head-lights along with a larger rear spoiler. This year, 17-inch alloy wheels are standard with 19-inch alloy wheels avail-
able on the Limited and XLE models. In The Cab:Standard features on all Highlander models include third row seating, air con-ditioning; front seats with height-adjustable active head rests and eight-way (10-way on the Limited) adjustable
driver’s seat. The long list of standard features includes: power door locks and win-dows with driver’s window jam protection and auto up/down feature; cruise control; multi-function keyless entry system; UV reduction windshield and rear privacy glass; illuminated entry system.
The Limited model features a panoramic moonroof that brings in lots of natural light to the cabin. The LE model features a stan-dard AM/FM/CD audio system with six-speakers; XLE and Limited models have an

AM/FM/six disc in dash CD changer with six speakers, MP3/WMA playback capability and satellite radio capabil-ity. All audio systems are equipped with a USB audio input.All models have a backup camera. The lift gate has selectable memory height set-tings so gone are the days of walking into the edge of the gate without looking.Safety first:The Highlander comes stan-
dard with seven airbags. These include advanced driver and front passenger airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags and a driver’s knee airbag. Roll-sensing side cur-tain airbags help to protect the occupants of all three rows in the event of side col-lisions or vehicle rollovers. All Highlander models are now standard equipped with front active headrests.Toyota has also added Smart Stop technology, lane depar-ture alert, blind spot monitor, and rear cross traffic alert.
Roadworthy:The tester has a higher spring rate and a high damping force type shock absorber that delivers a firm but comfort-able ride. Cornering is where you really feel the difference. Missing is the typical SUV roll you experience with some other SUVs. There is lots of power and it is very easy to find yourself over the speed limit in a hurry!I noticed that in Econ mode the heater does not put out as much force, so on a cold day you will have to turn this
off to get a full amount of heat. There is lots of room inside for the whole family, especially with the addition of the third row seating. The Hybrid comes with a towing prep package that includes a large radiator, transmission oil cooler, heavy-duty battery and tow-ing wire harness.Verdict:Good on fuel and perfect for family transportation.Power:The Hybrid combines a 3.5 litre engine with a high-speed
electric motor that produces a peak 280 horsepower.Warranty support:Basic 60,000 kmPowertrain 100,000 kmCorrosion UnlimitedPump frequency:HYBRID Limited – 8.6/8.5 L/100 km (city/highway)Sticker price:Highlander Hybrid LE from $44,015Highlander Hybrid XLE from $46,440Highlander Hybrid Limited as tested $52,990ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

watch out for deer, elk, and other animals on local roads and highways, particularly along Highways 1, 3, 93, and 95 where many wild-life vehicle collisions occur. The critical times to watch for wildlife on the roads are
between 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. when ani-mals are most active, light levels change, and traffic is higher as people drive to and from work.
Annually, in B.C.’s southern interior, about two people are killed and 180 people are injured in
animal-related vehicle col-lisions.
Recent informa-tion from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure places sev-eral stretches of Highway 3 and Highway 93 in the top ten list of highway cor-ridors where high numbers
of wildlife collisions occur.The Wildlife Collision
Prevention Program offers the following hints for the highway.
• Both drivers and pas-sengers must actively watch for wildlife on the road and roadside area.
• People think of the road
as a dangerous place, but, in fact, animals are often attracted to the road and roadside area.
• Deer are often seen in groups, so if there is one animal there are usu-ally more. The deer you are watching may not be the one that poses

Megan Biermann tests her luck fishing in the fishpond dur-ing the Rossland Thrift Shop grand reopening on Saturday.
B y J o s e f i n s v e d B e r gRossland News
On Saturday, the Rossland Health Care Auxiliary Thrift Shop held a grand reopen-ing to celebrate recent renovations.
Last spring, black mould was found in the ceiling. Dave Braithwaite and crew implemented the extensive renovations to improve the previ-ous store. The most significant change is the brand new stairs.
“Now every thing is bright and clean and our new stairs are awesome,” says presi-dent Joan Hanson. The stairs were previ-ously located in the back corner with a path past the sort-ing room, making it tricky for both thrift shop volunteers and customers to have a pleasant shopping experience.
The stairs were narrow with a low ceiling and a bend, which made it almost impossible to meet in the middle of the stairs and see if any-one was coming from the other direction.
“We have a room just for sorting now,” explains past presi-dent Sharon Hansen. Customers had to walk past the room during the previous store layout, making it difficult for them to keep their hands away and to let the volun-teers do their job.
“We use everything we can by selling items, making rags, redirecting cloth-ing and recycling,” adds Hanson. The
Rossland Health Care Auxiliary also donates their money to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital Foundation and other health care organiza-tions in Rossland and Trail.
The organiza-tion gets a list from the hospital and can decide which things on the hospital’s bucket list they want to contribute to.
“We want to know where the money is
going,” says Hansen.During the
reopening, the thrift shop was filled with excited shoppers who took part in the celebrations. There was a ribbon cutting ceremony, a kids fish-pond, and cake and drinks were served.
The store has extended their hours and is open on Wednesdays and Fridays as usual, and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m..

Over 1,100 Trail Smoke Eaters fans started the home team off on a winning note on Wednesday at the Cominco Arena, as the Smokies skated to a 4-1 victory over the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.
The Smokies’ Wacky Wednesday promotion started off with a minor glitch when tech-nical difficulties delayed the play-ing of the national anthem. But following the tragic death of a soldier and assault on Parliament Hill in Ottawa earlier that day, Smokie fans were feeling keenly patriotic, as they took up the Canadian national anthem and sang it, a cappella, to a rousing conclusion.
The Smoke Eaters played inspired hockey after that, as Brandon Volpe netted what would prove to be the winning goal 14:45 into the first per-iod. After a hard forecheck by Stephen Ryan dislodged the puck in the Silverbacks corner, Connor Wynne swooped in picked up the loose puck and sent it towards the goal, where it took a strange bounce off Salmon Arm goalie Angus Redmond; but Volpe would fight his way to the net and bang it in, before being knocked to the ice, to put the Smokies up 2-0.
“Overall our intensity and play away from the puck was much better than it was our last game here at home,” said assistant coach Craig Clare. “We talked about it all week, so we’re happy with the effort. It’s as close to a 60-minute effort that we’ve got-ten this year.”
Due to injured forwards Robbie Johnson and Dallas Calvin, defencemen Wynne and Jeremy Lucchini were pressed into service on forward lines and
looked impressive throughout the night.
“The guys we threw up there tonight, didn’t look like they weren’t forwards,” said Craig. “Jeremy had a heck of a game, playing out of position . . . That whole line played really well. Same with Connor with his speed, he just kept it simple, you’re play-ing the same game, you’re just going to different areas.”
Despite the line juggling, Trail came out hard, dominating play along the boards, and control-ling possession for much of the first period as they outshot the Backs 9-7.
“That’s the thing about our forwards we have a lot of versatil-ity, and I don’t think we’ve kept our line up the same for any
game this year. So it speaks a lot to these guys being able to play with each other.”
Craig Martin opened the scor-ing with his new linemates. After Salmon Arm’s Bennett Morrison was sent off for interference, Ryan Swanson dished off to Jake Lucchini whose shot squeaked through Redmond and lay on the goal line for Martin to knock in at 13:14.
After Volpe’s goal, the Silverbacks would get on the board 5:55 into the second per-iod, when Ross Heidt skated in on the left side and wristed a shot five-hole on Adam Todd’s to get the ‘Backs within one. However, Martin would net his second on the night and sixth of the season at 5:55 of the final frame, making
a nice move into the offensive zone, and waiting, before wiring a shot over the blocker of Redmond and into the top corner to make it 3-1.
“We talked about their ‘D’ always moving back quite a bit, so I delayed for a bit,” said Martin. “I was looking for one of my linemates, but they got picked up on the backcheck so I saw an opening and I just took the shot.”
The goal, with assists to Lucchini and Charlie Zuccarini, gave the Smokies a little breath-ing room, as Salmon Arm tried desperately to come back, but strong defensive play and big stops from Todd, particularly during a power play opportunity midway through the period, kept the Smokies on top.
Salmon Arm would pull their goalie with over two-minutes to play, but would not get any closer.
Martin would eventually gain possession of the puck at centre ice, yet instead of shooting it at the wide-open net for the hat trick, he passed to Zuccarini on the right side whose shot just missed the post, but bounced into the slot to a streaking Lucchini who made no mistake, making it 4-1 with one minute to play.
“I got a little nervous thought I’d miss it, and thought Zuccs (Zuccarini) could get it,” explained Martin. “I’m just glad Lucch (Lucchini) buried it.”
Martin would get first star for his three-point game, Gryffin Martin was named second star, and Adam Todd the game’s third star for his 28-save performance.
The Smokies were 1-for-3 on the power play, and perfect on three penalty kills.
With their third win in a row, Trail moves into a tie with the Merritt Centennials for second place in the Interior division and will travel to Salmon Arm on Friday and to Prince George for a game with the Spruce Kings on Saturday.
“It (the win) sets us up nice going on the road, we are on a little bit of a roll here, so hope-fully we can take that on the road,” added Clare.
The Smokies next home game goes Oct. 31 against the Centennials at 7:30 p.m.
Smoke Signals: The Trail Smoke Eaters’ Wacky Wednesday proved very successful, thanks to the generous support of AM Ford that donated the van, and to the fans who came out and bought almost all of the 1,500 van raffle tickets up for sale. The lucky win-ner of the van was Bob Whyte.

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks are back home for the weekend with two challenging matches against the Golden Rockets on Friday and the Creston Valley Thunder Cats Saturday.
The Nitehawks have picked up points in 10 of their last 11 games, and play a Rockets team, which they beat 4-1 in Golden on Sept. 26, and kick-started their early season turn around.
But Golden has been anything but slouches late-ly, winning five of the their last seven matches includ-ing two wins over the Eddie Murdoch division leading Fernie Ghostriders, and a 6-2 drubbing of the div-ision co-leading Kimberley Dynamiters.
The Rockets have poten-tial to score in bunches with leading scorer Cole Mckechney, 4-14-18, set-ting up Ian Desroisier, 12-5-17, on a regular basis. Both players had four-point nights in an 8-4 win
over the Ghostriders on Saturday, with Mckechney setting up Desroisiers twice, and both assisting on goals by James Gaume who netted a hat trick.
Beaver Valley has yet to play Creston in the 2014-15 regular season, but did split a pair of games with the Cats in presea-son. Leading the Thunder Cats in scoring is Carson Cartwright, 5-5-10, and while Creston sports a .500 record (5-5-0-2), it’s just a matter of time before two-time BC Intercollegiate
hockey champion and for-mer Selkirk College Saints coach Jeff Dubois gets the Thunder Cats on the right track.
Goaltender Brock Lefebvre will likely get the start, having carried much of the load for the Cats this season, sporting four wins and four losses, and a 3.12 GAA and a .910 save percentage.
Nitehawk veterans Jacob Boyczuk and Taylor Stafford have stepped it up of late with Boyczuk net-ting four points in his last
four games and Stafford collecting a three-point weekend, highlighted by his tying goal against Revelstoke, followed by Boyczuk’s winner.
Defenceman Andrew Miller has also been a bright spot on the blue line for the Hawks. The Trail native has three goals and 10 points in 15 games and is currently third in team scoring.
Game times for both Friday and Saturday is 7:30 p.m. at the Beaver Valley Arena.

Teen glow skate hits kids rink
Parliament shooting impacts us all
“Any man who would trade liberty for security deserves neither, “ said Ben Franklin.
We have just been whacked upside our national head again by so-called, “martyrs.”
Things need to be done to make us, at least slightly, safer, but whatever is done must be measured against any impair-ment of our liberty, as expressed in our constitution and common law, or the impact of the nutballs will far outweigh their actual importance.
The act of shooting a soldier acting as honour guard to our national memories is outlandish, and was done for its shock value. We cannot allow the abhorrent nature of the act to push us away from the very attributes of the country that make it, generally speaking, great.
We should mourn with and for the affected families, celebrate our evident resilience, and perhaps, finally, recognize the world is caught up in a clash of cultures, and pick a side. Then we should move on as normally as possible - to do anything else would be to grant a, “victory,” to an odious ideology.
• Life is making it hard for me to celebrate in person with the Smokies, who have won five of six and set themselves on a path to the necessary post-season play.
Junior A hockey is about a game, of course, but we have to sympathize with a roster and coaching staff that has been told, repeat-edly, that their efforts may impact the future of top level junior hockey in the, “Home of Champions.”
So far, so good, however, despite the pres-sure, and Trail is on the way to creating a Fortress Smoke Eaters at Cominco Arena. That would be a good thing in a couple of
weeks, when the team plays five home games in eight days. Strong home ice efforts, enabled by strong conditioning work, could make all the difference to Trail’s playoff prospects, especially since by the end of next month Trail will have taken its last ferry ride and have only one more extra-divisional road trip remaining in the 2014/15 regular season.
One amazing fact about the recent scheduling is that, although
the Nitehawks, too, have an extended home stand beginning in early November, only one conflict with the Smokies is on the list, mean-ing true hockey fans can truly get their fill at local rinks.
Beaver Valley plays eight of its next nine KIJHL games at the Hawks’ Nest, and only that Nov. 15 date presents the need for a choice for those who follow both of the area’s junior teams.
All good for the teams, and local fans, who can continue to show their support mostly without needing to go the either-or route.
As a local fan myself, I would love to say I will see you at the rink, and I am really hoping to do that in both rinks the next two weekends, but, as our lives seem to trend these days, the big home stands are happening during the only 12 day period in the past 20 months in which we will be away. C’est la vie, pour nous.
But not for you - so get out and gather memories to relay when I finally can devote more time and energy to the fortunes of my/our local teams.

All three mayoral candidates are dis-heartened by the recent vandalism and theft inflicted on their campaign signs, cul-minating in approxi-mately 100 of Pat Severyn’s signature moustache signs going missing last night.
“It’s totally dis-heartening. I can’t go out in a timely fashion and purchase another $1,200 worth of signs. It just can’t happen,” said Severyn.
“What happened wasn’t random. The first night there was about 20 gone, we thought maybe a kid was grabbing them or
it was getting popu-lar with the mous-tache thing. But over 100 went missing last night, some of them on absolutely dead-end streets you can’t see from anywhere.”
Deb Kozak and John Dooley both reported vandalized and mis-sing signs, though in their cases the vandal-
ism is minor.“You could under-
stand a little Halloween spray-painting like we’ve had in the past, or a sign torn up and thrown over the bank. But I’ve never had any stolen. We usually find it within a stone’s thrown of its original spot,” said Dooley.
“I haven’t checked
much because I’ve been downtown, but I’ve seen a couple of mine are gone and two were torn down. But for that many to go missing is unheard of.”
Deb Kozak was out of town in Spokane for a conference, but contacted the Star to express her dismay over the vandalism.
“Candidates and their supporters spend a lot of time and money purchasing signs and getting them up, so I’m really disappointed to hear this.”
Severyn has con-
tacted the Nelson Police Department about the matter.
“It’s against the law to tamper with them. That’s simply just wrong for people to do that,” said Dooley.
Nelson police chief Wayne Holland said they have opened a file to look into the mat-ter, and already have a “substantial lead”.
“We have opened one file, and we’ll open a file for any candidate who suffers a theft. We will follow up to the extent we’re able to, because it is a crime.”

Mayor candidates report almost 100 signs stolen Sale of Blueberry school up in the air
B y B e t s y K l i n eCastlegar News
The fate of the Blueberry Creek Community School property is still unknown.
School District 20 held a consultation meeting Monday night to discuss the disposal of the property and at least 225 people showed up to express their views and listen to suggestions from the district.
The atmosphere was one of determina-tion as most people present were there to show support for the proposal put forward by the Blueberry Creek Community School Council (BCCS) to purchase the building for $1.
Super in tendent of Schools Greg Luterbach presented a history of the school and the process that must be followed to dispose of it. The building has not been used as a school since 2002. There was lit-tle enthusiasm heard from the crowd as he presented the options the board was consid-ering.Those options include demolishing the building, subdiv-iding the property and selling a portion, or selling the building at full market value to BBCS or on the open market.
When Luterbach mentioned they will also consider ideas presented at the meet-ing, including one to be put forward by BCCS the room erupt-ed with applause and cheers.
BCCS is a non-profit society that has been responsible for the finances and maintenance of the site through a lease agreement with SD 20. BCCS is currently providing educational, childcare, social and recreational programs at the site.
The board will meet again Monday, October 27 and will discuss the future of the school at that time. Whatever decision the board makes will have to be approved by the Minister of Education.

Dear Annie: Please help me understand why my husband of 10 years is slowly distanc-ing himself. We used to laugh, go to the movies, go out for dinner and breakfast on Sundays, but now he doesn’t want me to touch him. He has no compassion, and there’s no sex and no affection.
I’ve asked him why this is happening, and he simply says, “That was never me. I’m not the passionate person you think.” When I want to hold his hand, he wriggles away. I’m affectionate and pas-sionate, but not smoth-ering or overbearing. I love my husband and want to be close to him.
He goes to the casi-nos with male friends, but will not take me out. If I suggest going somewhere together, I get major attitude and total negativity from him. He doesn’t even want to go out for my birthday, Valentine’s Day or our anniversary. What the heck?
We now only share our address and last name. About two years ago, he suggested that we have separate bed-rooms, and I agreed because I didn’t know what else to do. I’m thinking of moving out. We are like room-mates with no commu-nication at all. I have suggested counseling, but he says, “You can go. I’m not interested.” What’s going on? Any suggestions would be helpful. -- Slowly Falling Out of Love
Dear Slowly: There are several possibili-ties. Your husband may be having an affair and his affection is saved for the other woman. He may have a hor-
monal problem that is interfering with his libido, and he pushes you away in order to avoid being intimate. He may be gay and only put on a show to get married and now is no longer interest-ed in the charade. He may have a gambling problem and all of his attention is focused there. Here’s the sug-gestion: Get counseling for yourself. You have choices to make, and some guidance during the process would be helpful.
Dear Annie: I appre-ciate that you printed information on ovar-ian cancer and that September was ovar-ian cancer awareness month. I am writing you to find out whether you are aware of any support walks, bike rides, etc., to advance people’s awareness of ovarian cancer?
My aunt was recent-ly diagnosed with the disease, and I have been disappointed in the lack of information. I
recently moved to Sarasota and found out that the only chapter in Florida for ovarian can-cer is in Tallahassee. If you have any thoughts, please let me know. -- S.
Dear S.: There are various walks and rides for ovarian cancer scheduled throughout the year, although we cannot promise that any are in Sarasota. You may need to start your own. For infor-mation, support and scheduling, please look into the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (ocrf.org), the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance (ovariancan-cer.org), the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (ovarian.org) and the American Cancer Society (cancer.org/cancer/ovarian-cancer). Bless you for doing what you can to raise awareness of this terrible disease.
Dear Annie: I read with interest the let-ter from “Guilty Conscience,” who had
decided to stay in her marriage after a fling with a married man. But she was still unhap-py in her marriage and couldn’t stop thinking about her beau.
Years ago, I found myself in the same pre-dicament. My husband and I went to coun-
seling, but things did not improve. I, too, could not forget about the other man. One of my bosses urged me to follow my heart, so I divorced my husband and began raising my small children on my own. My lover divorced his wife, and we mar-
ried a year later. We have now been happily married for 25 years. Every situation is dif-ferent, but sometimes these things work out. -- Happy in Alabama

Passionless husband may be cheating or gay

For Saturday, Oct. 25, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today is a mixed bag with highs and lows. However, what you should know is that it’s a poor day to make impor-tant decisions about finances. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Enjoy schmoozing with others today, because both the Sun and Venus are oppo-site you. But lo! The Moon and Saturn are opposite you as well. Expect sunshine with scattered rain. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your focus is on your work today. The only problem is that this is a goofy day and you are not sufficiently moti-vated or energized to accom-plish much. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a wonderful, cre-ative day! Let your mind roam freely, because you will come up with original concepts. It’s a great day to schmooze and have fun!
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your attention now turns to home and family. Because this is a friendly day, invite the gang over for pizza and beer. (Or a chilled chardon-nay and quiche.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Like Cancer, this is a creative day for you. In con-versations with others, you will put a new spin on things. Enjoy impromptu visits with siblings and relatives. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a poor day for important financial decisions. It’s an equally poor day to spend money except for food, gas and entertainment. Tread water. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The Sun, the Moon, Saturn and Venus all are in your sign today. “Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!” You will attract people to you. Postpone important deci-sions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You will work best if you work alone or behind the scenes today. (Although, you don’t feel like working.) Just get through this day, which is a bit goofy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Relations with others will be friendly and warm. People will welcome social interac-tion, because they don’t want to work today. It’s hard to be
motivated. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Just be aware that personal details about your private life might be made public today, especially in the eyes of authority figures -- par-ents, bosses, teachers and the police. Need to do some dam-age control? PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is the perfect day to do something different. You
want to expand your hori-zons and have fun! Travel if possible, and don’t shop for anything except food and gas. YOU BORN TODAY Your approach to life is dramatic and physical. You like to be in control of your surround-ings because this helps you to be dependable, which is important to you. Settle your debts this year, to prepare for financial accumulation in the next three years. (To
clear away indebtedness is the thrust of this year.) Consolidate your affairs for future growth. Birthdate of: David Furnish, filmmaker; Ciara, model/actress; Rebecca Pidgeon, singer/actress. (c) 2014 King Features Syndicate, Inc.
