Trail council awarded the bridge lighting contract to a local electrical company this week.

The project of installing 96 colour changing lights on the Victoria Street crossing came in on budget and in ample time before city festivities in May, says Trail Mayor Mike Martin.

“Every effort is now direct-ed towards having the project completed in time for the in-augural lighting during Silver City Days,” Martin said.

“We are absolutely delighted with the level of support from the community for a project which was identified as a com-ponent of overall downtown re-vitalization,” he added. “It will be a landmark project which recognizes and celebrates the Columbia River passing through our city.”

talks.The Fruitvale-based com-

pany will supply and install wiring, junction boxes, electri-cal panels, lighting controllers, and a commissioning system for $447,000.

Additionally, Power Tech must provide operational train-ing for city staff and city electri-cians once the job is complete.

The initiative was advanced as a priority and tendered last month when campaign-ing by the DOAC (Downtown Opportunities and Action Committee) neared its fund-raising goal of $180,000.

The group’s Buy-a-Light drive, which invited the com-munity to “purchase” an LED for a $200 donation, was well received because that fundrais-ing goal was completed within nine months. Martin says of the 96 lights available, 99 lights were actually donated.

ROSSLAND WINTER CARNIVAL

Jon Marion is talking smack at all the other bobsled racers out there.

The owner of the Eager Beaver sled says the competition was tight during last year’s Sonny Samuelson Bobsled Race and with Rossland Winter Carnival weekend approach-

ing, he’s put out a warning.“To all the other teams: we’re

gunning for you and we’re going to take it this year - the Beaver will be on top!”

The Beaver had an eager start in 2003 when Marion, a respiratory therapist from Rossland, tried his hand at mechanics. The fire-engine red conventional sled with a stuffed beaver attached to the handle bars was disqualified from the competi-tion that year when pre-race judges

deemed it unsafe to take the course that runs six blocks down Rossland’s steepest city street.

Marion and neighbour Damon Walton were not going to let a little trial and error ruin their pursuit for bobsled domination. Instead, the friends enlisted Mike Pistak in 2004 to help build up the dream into a solid contender. And the sled has evolved with steady hands since.

Over the decade the Beaver has run the course, it has seen many

new teammates, including comedian Rick Mercer warming the seat in 2010, and Rossland Mayor Kathy Moore last year. The mayor is no longer hitching a ride this year, as council has built their own chal-lenger.

“The bobsled is the Pipe Dream because it was meant to be a sewer pipe but of course, if it crashes then it’s going to be the Byelection be-cause there’s four of us on it,” she

A LOOK BACK

The Trail Historical Society has kindly offered photos and stories related to the history of Trail

BY LANA RODLIEIf you go into Council

Chambers at City Hall, you’ll see some beautiful paintings depicting old Trail. My favou-rite is the one of Byers Lane. It’s like it comes alive with new features every time I see it. Was that dog always there? Have some of the clothes dis-appeared from the clothesline, and has the man in the fore-front made a few steps closer since the last time I looked?

That painting, along with all the others, were left to the citizens of Trail by Velen Fanderlik. He and his wife, Velenka were well-known in the art scene. But I knew him as a teacher. Often, he digressed to his life before the war. I don’t think there was a single class at Crowe that didn’t hear how he escaped his homeland on skis over the mountains.

Although he had been a lawyer in Europe, he didn’t talk about his life as a military judge or his membership in the prosecuting team at the Trials of Nuremburg. Nor did he talk about his involvement with the World Scout Committee where he and his father organized the Czechoslovakian Boy Scout movement and Velen became

president.Velen was born and edu-

cated in Czechoslovakia. He displayed artistic ability from an early age, but followed fam-ily tradition and became a law-yer. During the Second World War when Czechoslovakia was being absorbed by the Soviet Union, Velen fled. He prac-ticed law in England, and also in France, where he worked as an evacuation officer for Czechoslovak refugees. It was there that he met his wife Velenka. They were married in 1941.

On a visit back to their homeland in 1947, Velen was warned that his name appeared on a list of persons considered

dangerous to state security. So the couple fled Czechoslovakia illegally to the American zone of West Germany, where they involved themselves in the work of the International Relief Organization. About a year later, they returned to England, but before long, made the de-cision to relocate to Canada. They settled in Vancouver, where Velen worked at the YMCA and studied at UBC to become a teacher.

In 1955, Velen accepted a teaching position at J.L. Crowe Secondary School. Here, he taught Latin, History, Social Studies, Law and Art until his retirement. He also taught the History of Art at night school classes in Trail and Castlegar and at summer schools at UBC and Notre Dame University in Nelson.

Velenka also had an illustri-ous career – qualifying as a teacher in French, Slovak and German languages, she taught in Lens, France, teaching expa-triate Czechs. In Canada, she attended business school in Vancouver, and inspired by her husband’s art classes, began to study art in 1958. She attended summer school at UBC, the San Francisco Academy of Arts and the Banff School of Fine Arts.

Velen went on to study art at the University of Brno, St. Martin School of

Art in London, Cambridge University, the Academy of Art in San Francisco, UBC and the Banff School of Fine Arts. His favorite medium was wa-tercolours, but he also liked oil paints, pastels and other mediums. He became known as a miniaturist and for his lino cuts.

Velen died in 1985. His wife had preceded him five years earlier. They left a wonderful legacy of artwork.

The Fanderliks were added to the Home of Champions monument September 28, 1996.

Trail artist’s work leaves lasting legacy

Velen Fanderlik was a teacher at J.L. Crowe high school and a strong contributor to Trail’s art scene.

A Montrose resident was hospitalized for smoke inhalation fol-lowing a mobile home fire late Wednesday night.

Two people were in-side the structure when fire broke out shortly after 11 p.m., said Fire Chief Terry Martin.

“The fire started in the ceiling above the wood stove which was going at the time of the fire,” confirmed the Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue leader. “The investiga-tion is complete, and the area of origin was in the ceiling where the stove pipe went through the roof of the struc-ture.”

Twelve firefighters from Trail, Montrose and Fruitvale respond-ed to the scene, locat-ed on Highway 3B in Beaver Falls, and had the incident under con-trol in 30 minutes.

“Our crews knocked it down really fast,”said Martin, adding no utili-ties were hooked up prior to the fire. “They spent the extra time checking for hot spots and over hauling the roof area where the fire originated.”

The home is not in-habitable at this time.

Martin says fighting fires in a trailer park setting creates certain challenges.

“The older mobile homes were not built to today’s code, which al-lows fire to spread more rapidly.”

This is the account of the paralytic who was lowered through the roof before Jesus, and, seeing their faith, Jesus forgave his sins. Later he healed him of his paralysis to prove that he does have the authority to forgive sins and to indicate that they have indeed been forgiven. The scribes who were present considered Jesus’ words of forgiveness blas-phemous, saying, “Who can forgive sins but God alone?” (Mark 2:7).In the Old Testament God forgave sins (Exodus 34:7), and he gave Israel a sacrifi cial system - sin offerings - for the forgiveness of vari-ous kinds of sins. He especially gave them the Day of Atonement, where Aaron puts both hands on the head of a scapegoat and confesses the sins of the people over it and then sends it away into the desert, and “the goat shall bear all their iniquities upon him to a solitary land; and he shall let the goat go in the wilderness” (Leviticus 16:22). Then Aaron shall “offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people and make atonement for himself and for the people” (Leviticus 16:24).The laying on of hands on the animal indicates that the animal takes the place of the sinner and that his sins are put on the animal, who is then either sent into the wilderness to take his sins away (Leviticus 16:21-24), or is slain by the sinner, as his substitute, the animal bear-ing the penalty of death instead of the sinner for his sin, and so the sinner is forgiven. This is the sacrifi cial system that God gave Israel to gain his forgiveness of their sins.But the letter to the Hebrews tells us, “It is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins” (Hebrews 10:4). In other words, God forgave, or at least overlooked Old Testament sins, when the Israelites offered with faith their animal sacrifi ces, which God himself gave them for this purpose, because these sacrifi ced animals were a prefi guration of the one and only true sacrifi ce that can justly and adequately propitiate for and make reparation for sins, namely the sacrifi ce of the incarnate Son of God on the cross, for “Christ died for our sins” (1 Corinthians 15:3). God the Father sent God the Son to be-come a man and take on himself all human sins (2 Corinthians 5:21), as the scapegoat took on all Israel’s sins and carried them away into

the wilderness. So Christ took on all our sins and paid the just penalty for them in his suffering and death on the cross so that when we put our faith in him, we are forgiven.The Old Testament sacrifi ces prefi gured this, and so God forgave their sins when they offered them with faith. He pardoned them in an anticipatory way, not because of the merits of the sacrifi ced animal, but because of the merits of the one that the animal prefi gured, namely Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Savior of the world, who is the only one whose sacrifi ce of himself has the power to make just reparation before God for all the sins of the world.But Jesus had not yet been sacrifi ced when he said this, yet he is grant-ing this man forgiveness in an anticipatory way, ahead of time, by the merits of his still future death on the cross, in the same way that God forgave the Israelites in an anticipatory way by the merits of the future death of his Son, when the Israelites offered in sacrifi ce the animal that God told them to offer in prefi guration of the one and only true sacrifi ce that can propitiate for and justly make reparation for sins.Jesus told us at his Last Supper that his blood that would be shed the next day on the cross is to be shed for the forgiveness of sins. He said this over the cup of wine, which he said was his blood that he is shedding for the forgiveness of sins. He said, “Drink of it, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many, for the forgiveness of sins” (Matthew 26:27-28). In this shedding of the blood of the incarnate Son of God for our sins we have the forgiveness of our sins. To receive this forgiveness, we need to have faith in him. So “when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, ‘My Son, your sins are forgiven’” (Mark 2:5).The risen Christ gave the Holy Spirit to his apostles on Easter evening and thereby gave them the power to forgive sins in his name, saying, “‘As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained’” (John 20:21-23). This power is exercised by priests in the Church in the sacrament of reconciliation.It is the very power of Christ himself that is working in this sacrament, because of his propitiatory, reparation-making death on the cross for

our sins. It is his sacrifi ce that enables God to justly declare us sinners to be righteous, for his death made just reparation for our sins, and so we become righteous indeed, with our sins forgiven and Christ’s own righteousness reckoned to us (Romans 4:3, 5, 23-24), when we put our faith for our salvation in him. This is what brings us peace and joy. It puts us at peace with God and at peace with ourselves; and it gives us a clear hope for eternal life.

RELIGION

Physician-assisted death is coming soon to a health care institution near you. You won’t need to be terminally ill to access this ‘medical intervention’. In the Carter

decision, the Supreme Court of Canada has given Canadians the ‘right to die’, and an answer for the perennial problem of pain and suffering.

In my view, Carter is about more than the ‘right to die.” It reflects shifting national values about the nature of human suffering. This shift has a lot to do with the rejection of religion in general, but more specifically with the rejection of the Judeo-Christian tradition that shaped our nation.

Some of the values of the tradition conflict with the values Carter express-es. The tradition looks to God’s plan to guide human behavior. Carter relies on personal autonomy and choice. And whereas, the Judeo-Christian tradition searches for a redemptive value in suffering, Carter rejects suffering.

While people have always struggled with the reality of suffering, throughout history people have recognized and accepted suffering as part of the mystery of being human. In days past, people were perhaps more willing to grapple with suffering and to scrutinize its meaning than we are today. We are much more likely to view suffering in all of its manifestations (summarized in Carter as illness, disability or disease) as an affront to our dignity and a threat to our ‘quality of life’.

I spoke with Sister Nuala Kenny about Carter and the thorny reality of human suffering. Kenny, a member of the Sisters of Charity of Halifax, is also a pediatrician and the founder of the Department of Bioethics at Dalhousie University. She was a mem-ber of the Provincial-Territorial Expert Advisory Group on Physician Assisted Dying, which released its recommendations at the end of November 2015. She is a strong opponent of physician-assisted death.

In Kenny’s view, Carter “goes far beyond the media valorization of the person who is in intrac-table pain and suffering.” She zones in on two major problems.

Carter “is an extreme honoring of individual autonomy, but an autonomy that then requires a reciprocal obligation on the part of others.” It places an obligation on physicians to respond positively to a patient’s request for death. As a physician, Kenny sees this obligation as a betrayal of the Hippocratic tradition. We have a “huge obligation to provide support for the physical symptoms, that is com-passion in itself, and that allows the person who is terminally ill or dying to deal with the spiritual and emotional and psychological challenges.” As a Catholic religious, the focus on individual au-tonomy expresses a lack of trust in God’s plan for the individual and the community.

Carter turns suffering, which is a metaphysi-cal reality, into a medical problem. To explain the “medicalization of suffering”, Kenny points to the reasons that lead people to request physician-assisted death. These reasons include a sense of a loss of dignity and of independence, worries about becoming a burden to others, uncertainty about the future, and fears of isolation and a lack of care. “Those are issues of human suffering. The medi-calization of suffering uses death as a treatment for suffering, because there is no prescription for

LOCAL‘Homemade’ bobsleds race down city’s steepest street

laughed.Moore admits jump-

ing on a sled that’s never competed is a different feeling than joining an experienced crew on a veteran ride.

The Beaver’s record to the finish line is about 45 seconds, just above 70 kilometers per hour to date.

Marion’s goal this year is to crack the 80-85 km threshold in 40 seconds and take the sled to the podium.

The brakeman en-trusts in driver Darren Rossi (my husband and general loose cannon) to steer his pride to the finish line.

In second position, squeezed in the middle of the meat, Marion said he likes to work the independent braking to ski steer if “things go wrong.”

“To me it’s like a race car,” he said. “They’re all homemade bobsleds, and we try not to share our technology with any of our competitors.”

“Homemade” reach-es another caliber when you look at Matt Titheridge’s creations that grace the track.

Known locally as “Moustache Matt,” Titheridge runs a weld-ing and fabricating shop that specializes in CNC plasma. He started on the classic Hi Rise sled a decade ago, and then last year built Beyond Thunder Drunk (a side by side Mad Max style) and Hot Voltage, a shiny aluminum tub, for his wife, Chantal. His handy work ensured the couple could each sport a new sled in con-junction with the open-

ing of his new welding business, Moustache Metalworks.

“I’m notorious for being the guy who has to run into Lyle Simm’s shop in the middle of the race to weld some-body’s handlebars back on,” he said.

“We don’t build or design sleds for other people, but we are happy to provide them with the materials they need to keep them safe.”

He reinforced the frame of Marion’s Beaver this year to hold the last two riders on more securely and ex-tended the brakes to make them more effec-tive.

You’d have to be crazy not to build and ride a sled to victory, according to Titheridge.

“Where else do you get to build your own contraption and then race it down the steep-est street in town?” he asks. “If you’ve ever loved Lego and wanted to fly the space ship you made out of Lego, well this is your chance.”

After a good hearty pancake breakfast, spec-

tators can roll them-selves over to Spokane Street to take in the

bobsled race that comes screaming down the hill at 9:30 a.m. Saturday.

There are usually over 25 teams look-ing to take top speed, which has been carried for two years by Darrin Albo’s sled, Rossland’s Alboholics, which hit 75 kph last year. An award presentation will follow at 1:30 p.m. at the Olaus Ice Palace.

Food inflation is top of mind for Canadian consumers, with rampant claims about produce being grossly over-

priced.And the latest Consumer Price

Index (CPI) report won’t calm Canadian shoppers any time soon, since food inflation stands at 4.1 per cent.

That’s a significant contrast to the -0.4 per cent in food inflation reported in the United States just a few days ago. With global food prices dropping to record lows, the Canadian economy over the past few months is an industrial-ized world anomaly.

Food inflation remains sub-stantially higher than our overall inflation rate, forcing many con-sumers to make budgetary com-promises to pay grocery bills.

The dollar is obviously a major piece of the story, but it is just one piece.

Climate change, and in par-ticular droughts in some parts of California, has given Canadian importers grief. California’s close proximity cuts shipping costs, while offering higher levels of freshness and quality, for im-ported products. Canada im-

ports billions of agricultural goods every year from the Golden State. However, farm-gate price fluctua-tions have been u n p r e d i c t a b l e . Cauliflower prices have swung from $35 for a case of 12 to as high as $100 last November.

If products are unavailable in California or are too expensive, importers need to procure them elsewhere, even as far away as Europe. As a result, costs increase - for example, ship-ping costs can easily triple. Over the next few months, lettuce, strawberries, grapes, oranges, cel-ery and, of course, cauliflower will likely be affected by broader influences. These items will all likely cost more - if they can be found at all.

In fact, Canadians should ex-pect more shortages on the retail shelves over the next few weeks, and not because of limited sup-plies or diminished access. The recent cauliflower woes provide a lesson to Canadian food retail-

ers on market-based hysteria. The food market has become increasingly fickle, financially capri-cious and hypersen-sitive to price fluc-tuations.

After a few weeks of shocking cauli-flower prices, the story got major trac-tion and that pushed consumers away. So

cauliflower prices dropped dra-matically, to $2.50 a head and, in some parts of the country, to as low as $1 a head. At such prices, most retailers are likely selling cauliflower at a loss.

The dramatic shift was essen-tially created by retailers’ fears of being saddled with excess in-ventories. Perishables must con-stantly move through the supply chain to reduce losses.

Importers and retailers know what the market can bear. A lower dollar and procurement challeng-es will most certainly push prices up in our market. Given what happened to cauliflower, most retailers will think twice before importing a product that requires

a much higher price to bring a decent profit. If retail prices are considered too high, importers may turn away from a product, creating shortages on supermar-ket shelves.

So until things calm down, we shouldn’t be surprised to see re-tailers being more careful with their purchasing practices.

In the meantime, slumping oil prices may offer the silver lin-ing Canadians need to cope with higher grocery bills. Families with at least one car can save $1,000 to $1,500 a year on gas, based on current low prices.

Since inflated food prices will cost the average family $345 more over the same period, lower pump prices will definitely help - par-ticularly in an economy in which wages are barely budging.

If that’s not enough, getting more acquainted with grocery stores freezers can help consum-ers get the nutrients they need until spring arrives. And then we can look to Canadian farmers to bring more freshness to our kitchen tables.

This is a letter to my commu-nity. I wanted to say a big thank you to Career Development Services (CDS) in Trail, for their tireless efforts for those in need.

I have janitorial contracts and have hired a number of people with bearers through the CDS

and they are the best and most dependable workers I have come across.

My contact at CDS tells me it’s a bit tough to get some employ-ers to take a chance with their workers. One of the benefits through CDS is that I know that

they are there to support me and their workers 100 per cent.

It takes a organization like CDS and its awesome staff to make our community a proud place to call home.

CDS workers a valuable resource

An editorial from the Toronto Star

First there was shock, with news of a deadly school shooting -- not in the United States, but right here in Canada.

There was horror as the di-mensions of the attack became clear: two people slain inside La Loche Community School in northern Saskatchewan seven more shot and wounded and two teenagers killed in a nearby home.

And then came anguish -- sorrow for an already-burdened town torn by fresh heartbreak, and the inevitable question: “Why?”

It’s impossible to find a full answer. A 17-year-old suspect surrendered at the school but can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Some media accounts indicate the shooter had been subjected to teasing, especially taunts about his appearance.

How that trauma worked upon him, and what else pro-pelled this troubled young man into an eruption of violence, may eventually emerge in court.

But this much is already cer-tain: Marie Janvier, 21, a bright, vibrant teaching assistant who reportedly loved her job, is gone forever. So is Adam Wood, 35, a “kind and giving person” who came to the school in September to start a teaching career. Also lost are Dayne Fontaine, 17, and his bother Drayden, 13 -- two young lives snuffed out when they had barely begun.

One other thing is painfully clear: the predominantly Dene residents of La Loche and the surrounding area have long struggled in the grip of isolation, neglect and a crippling lack of services.

Mental health programs and treatments are particularly lack-ing, despite a suicide rate triple that of Saskatchewan as a whole.

As in many northern communi-ties, drug and alcohol abuse is a serious concern, along with high crime rates. Young people lack employment, emotional support, social structures and -- above all -- hope.

There are glimmers of prog-ress. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is committed to creating a new, nation-to-nation relation-ship with Canada’s aboriginal people. The Liberal government is launching a national inquiry into missing and murdered in-digenous women. And a land-mark ruling from the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal is ex-pected Tuesday on whether fed-eral funding for child welfare discriminates against aboriginal kids. Reform is essential.

Even as we mourn lives lost in the carnage in La Loche it’s essential to recognize the urgent need for change, not just there but in hard-pressed aboriginal communities across Canada.

La Loche shootings should be another reason for reform

An editorial from the New Glasgow News

It might be a stretch to call this a silver lining. But if it takes a bottoming out in Canada’s re-source sector to spur other eco-nomic pursuits, that’s one step toward pinning hopes on some alternative, future developments.

In his message to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau placed an emphasis on this country’s burgeoning technological sector, while urging international com-panies to consider investment in Canada a sound move amid global economic uncertainty.

It’s true, many have been tout-ing technology-based industries as the economy of the future -- the prime minister is by no means going down a fresh path with this.

But many have compared Trudeau’s message with that of

the former Conservative gov-ernment’s over-reliance on the country’s resource industry as the main economic driver. While Trudeau acknowledges that those sectors remain im-portant, he wants to put a spot-light on innovative successes originating in Canada and the potentials of its relatively well-educated workforce.

Not to say that it will be straight-forward, but this is a direction the country needs to take.

Even if we can figure on con-tinued reliance on fossil fuels in the next couple of decades, con-sidering the quantities of shale gas now being pumped out in the United States, a rise in de-mand from idle oilfields isn’t expected on any near horizon.

That doesn’t bode well for exploration and development by companies in Canada, at least not for now. These traditional

occupations certainly will re-bound, but given the cyclical nature of resource industries, diversifying economies is cru-cial -- that’s never been more apparent than in the last couple of years.

And that’s just what many Canadians will want to see, a broader look at industries that will work across the country, rather than being anchored in a particular resource-rich loca-tion.

But touting Canada’s track re-cord thus far in technological fields and making that known to global investors is just part of what’s needed.

This country needs to invest in research and development, as it has in the resource sector over the years. It also has to encour-age learning in these areas, from grade school on up, and ensure that graduates are matching the needs of new industries.

Need broader look at our industries

RELIGION

suffering.”In the Christian tradition,

when a person suffers, he or she metaphorically shares in the suf-fering, death and resurrection of Jesus. Kenny points out that for Christians the notion that physi-

cian-assisted death is a compas-sionate and merciful response to suffering “repudiates the suf-fering of Jesus” and “flies in the face of the mystery of suffering.” While this may appear ludicrous to non-Christians, for those of us who profess the Christian faith, it should inform our attitude to suf-

fering, and shape our response to the Supreme Court decision.

In approximately four months time, even if no regulations are in place, physician-assisted death will be legal in Canada. And while the time for debating the pros and cons of physician-assisted death has past, it is not too late to

minimize the potential harms of Carter’s overly broad and permis-sive criteria.

In my view, one of the most pro-ductive responses for those of us who have grievous concerns about physician-assisted death centers on palliative care. Canadians need quality and accessible palliative/

hospice care. This is holistic care that tends to the complex needs of the suffering body and soul, neither hastening death nor pro-longing life.

Physician-assisted death is com-ing soon to your community. Isn’t it time for optimal palliative/hos-pice care to do the same?

TRAIL MEN’S BASKETBALL

Special Olympic Snow Sport Festival kicks offBY TIMES STAFF

Fifteen Special Olympics BC (SOBC) athletes from Greater Trail will be competing in the Snow Sports Festival next week-end at Red Mountain and Black Jack.

More than 120 athletes, coaches, and support staff will participate in the event, which will showcase Special Olympic alpine skiers and snowshoers from across B.C.

The Festival races would normally hold more signifi-cance, but with the 2016 Special Olympic Canada Games sched-uled for March, athletes and coaches had already qualified at last year’s SOBC Winter Games.

“This particular event is what would be considered… a pro-vincial event, but the reason why

we’re having it is because this year is the year of the nation-als, so many athletes wouldn’t typically have an event to go to this year,” explained Darrell Fry, coach for the Special Olympics alpine ski team. “So we wanted to create an event that everyone could participate in.”

The competition will also give athletes who are headed to the Winter Games in Corner Brook, Newfoundland a chance to test themselves in competi-tion.

“It’s a good warm up for all the athletes that are going to the Winter Games,” added SOBC-Trail organizer Ben Postmus.

Montrose snowshoer William Thatcher booked his ticket to Corner Brook at the SOBC Winter Games in

Kamloops last February after sprinting to gold in the 100 and 200-metre snowshoe races. Trail athlete, Jake Miller, also performed well winning silver in the 400-metre snowshoe sprint, and will also be compet-ing at the Games, but not as a snowshoer - Miller will suit up as a player for the Kootenay floor hockey team.

Alpine events go at Red Mountain, while the snowsho-ers hit Black Jack on Feb. 6. Races for both events go from 10 a.m. until about 2 p.m., topped off with a banquet at the Prestige in the evening to celebrate.

“We’ve had tremendous sup-port from the community for it,” says Fry. “Our sponsors have been very significant.”

Smoke Eaters prep for PentictonJIM BAILEY

Times Sports EditorWith 11 games remaining

in the regular season, the Trail Smoke Eaters are within striking distance of a playoff berth, but the road to the final four in the Interior division is a rough one.

The Smokies are coming off an 8-1 drubbing to the Warriors in West Kelowna Tuesday night, and there was a conspicuous absence of pucks on the ice in practice the following day.

“The message was pretty straightforward,” said Smoke Eater coach Nick Deschenes. “If we’re not going to work in the games, we are going to in practice. Those are kind of old school tactics, and they might fall on deaf ears, but I think the skate was necessary. And we also had a pretty in-depth meet-ing and video session to really dissect what we look like on the ice, and what we’re trying to ac-complish as a group.”

“There is so much at stake, and to go into that kind of a game and perform the way we did is definitely disappointing.”

The Smoke Eaters sit three points back of the Vernon Vipers for the fourth and final playoff berth, with a tough schedule down the stretch. All their remaining games are against Interior division rivals, starting with a home-and-home

against the Penticton Vees this weekend.

“We haven’t seen them in a while, but one of the chal-lenges of the group is that ev-eryone’s getting better, and we were a pretty effective group in December, but seems like we’re not getting any traction, so are we going to show the kind of team we can be this weekend, regardless of the opponent and circumstances?”

The Vees lead the league with a 39-6-0-1 record, are ranked number two in the nation, and two wins away from clinching their fifth consecutive Interior division title. They have a talent-ed line up starting with two of the BCHL’s top scorers in Scott Conway and Tyson Jost, and top-ranked defenceman Dante Fabbro. Jost and Fabbro missed the match against the Merritt Centennials on Wednesday to play in the CJHL’s Top Prospects game in Surrey, but will return to the line up against the Smoke Eaters Friday.

The Vees showed they are al-most human Wednesday, losing an unlikely decision to the sixth place Centennials, as they blew a 4-3 lead in the final minute for a Cents’ 6-4 victory. Undoubtedly, Vees coach Fred Harbinson will have had a similar discussion with his players since the loss, and be ready for the Smoke

Eaters tonight.Heading into the final month

of the season, the Smokies will enjoy home ice in seven of the 11 contests, but considering Trail has just one win in 12 matches against the Vees, Warriors, and Silverbacks this season, they will need to be at their best in order to catch the Snakes.

“We have to start play-ing good hockey again,” said Deschenes. “It has to be a high energy and high compete level. We can’t forget the fact, that who we’re going up against. If we don’t work as hard as we pos-sibly can, the compete level, the intensity has to be there 100 per cent all the time in order to put ourselves in a position to win.”

The Smokies face Salmon Arm four times, Penticton three times, West Kelowna twice, and Merritt and Vernon once, with their final game against the Vipers on Feb. 27, in what Deschenes hopes will be a meaningful game.

“Three points in 11 games, seven at home, there’s a lot that can happen.”

Good news for Trail is that Ross Armour and Jake Kauppila will be back in the lineup, after missing the past three weeks with injuries.

Trail hosts the Vees on Saturday at the Cominco Arena with the face off at 7:30 p.m.

Hawks looking good down the stretchBY JIM BAILEYTimes Sports Editor

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks will round out its January at home this weekend to face the Creston Valley Thundercats and the Grand Forks Border Bruins.

The first month of 2016 got off to a rocky start for B.V. with losses to Kimberley and Castlegar, but the Nitehawks then reeled off five straight victories before getting upended by Columbia Valley Rockies 5-2 on

Saturday in Invermere. The Hawks sit atop the Neil Murdoch division with 64 points, eight points up on Castlegar, and 22 on third place Grand Forks.

B.V.’s last meeting with the Thundercats was a forgettable 10-2 loss on Nov. 27 in Creston, and B.V. Will look for a different outing this time around. The 25-14-1-2 Cats hold down second place in the Eddie Mountain di-vision, but have stumbled of late losing three of their last four matches, includ-

CONTINUED ON A11

Page 11: Trail Daily Times, January 29, 2016

ing a 7-2 thumping at the hands of the Castlegar Rebels last week.

B.V. then faces the always troublesome Border Bruins on Saturday. Grand Forks, at 19-20-0-4, clinched its first playoff berth in 20 years ear-lier this month, and have won three in a row, with consecutive wins over the Spokane Braves, Fernie Ghostriders, and Kelowna Chiefs.

The Nitehawks leads the season series 4-3, and Saturday’s game will be the final regular-season match between the two teams. Grand Forks has won all three of its games by 3-2 scores, two in overtime, thanks in large part to goaltender Anthony Galliart who took player of the game in each of the three matches, stopping 119 of 125 shots for a .952 save percentage.

With just nine games remaining the Hawks will look to finish January strong heading into the final month of the regular season.

The puck drop for the Creston game is 7:30 p.m. on Friday and the same time Saturday against the Bruins.

CONTINUED FROM A10

It has begun to look as if there will be a dearth of playoff games of interest

around here, other than in the KIJHL, when the regular season in vari-ous leagues wind down.

Not a single Canadian NHL team seems inclined to push its way into the post sea-son picture. It is so bad on that front that the Montreal Canadiens, who have sucked for six weeks and now sit three points out of a wild card berth, are still the best performing of the seven teams based in Canada. The Canucks, also out of the playoffs right now even though they play in the weaker of the two conferences in the NHL, sit second in the, “na-tional,” standings.

The Cranbrook-based, for now, Kootenay Ice are last overall in the WHL and miles out of

a playoff spot in major junior.

The Smoke Eaters, still on a long mostly downward slide and fac-ing a tough remaining schedule, seem at best unlikely to be able to live up to the promise their play in December mer-ited, even though that schedule is home-heavy.

So, the Nitehawks, Rebels, Border Bruins and Leafs are what will be on offer, playoff-wise, for this area’s hockey fans.

In the other leagues,

of course, there is still a lot of hockey left to play, but it does not look promising on the potential post-season front. At least there may still be some standings movement.

In the KIJHL, in con-trast, all but two of the 16 available post season spots are taken and the remaining will be con-firmed very soon. Fans of junior B, then, can confidently schedule post season spectator-ship.

It is unfortunate, and highly frustrating for Smoke Eater fans in particular, but that is the way it seems to be.

Still time (seven home games left for Trail) to enjoy the Orange and Black as the season fades - Smokie home games have been almost uni-versally exciting and en-tertaining of late - but the battle now seems to be to not finish last in the division.

The other option, of course, is to take in KIJHL action - the Nitehawks have always deserved more support than they receive in the regular season - and fa-miliarize yourself with the teams and environs where playoff action is guaranteed and will begin fairly soon.

TODAY’S CROSSWORD

LEISURE

Dear Annie: My fiance and I became engaged a year ago. He has many good qualities: He is really sweet most of the time, and he is a good provider. He takes me on nice trips and buys me lovely presents. He even rubs my feet and cooks for me.

However, there are three bad qualities that give me grief. Like all couples, we argue now and then. But about once a week, we stay up all night arguing and can’t get to work the next day. He hangs out at the casino into the wee hours of the morning. Last week, he came home at 5:30 a.m. He says he does it just to make me angry. Two weeks ago, he left on Sunday afternoon and didn’t return until Monday morn-ing. Then he wonders why I don’t trust him.

The other problems are that he drinks heavily and he likes to gam-ble a lot. I’ve prayed that God will allow him to be the man I need and deserve. When we first started dat-ing, I didn’t see any of these signs. I

knew he frequented the casino, but it didn’t seem so bad.

Now he says he will work on coming home so late if I stop fuss-ing. I told him if it happens again, the relationship is over. But he re-fuses to stop gambling. Can he pos-sibly change? Please help me. I love this man, but I must be insane to put up with this mess. -- Vicki in Vegas

Dear Vicki: You are engaged to a man who is unlikely to change just because you want it and pray for it. Please don’t lopsidedly bal-ance minor good points (he rubs your feet) with major difficulties. Gambling is an addic-tion. Is he in debt? Does he have enough money to keep losing it at the casino? Drinking is a different addiction and can affect his health, as well as your safety. Staying out all night is a trust issue, and arguing all night is totally unproductive.

It is always a mistake to marry someone and expect him to change. That rarely happens. Please look into Gam-Anon (gam-anon.org) and Al-Anon (al-anon.org) for a better understanding of his behav-ior. Before marrying him, be sure you have a full report on your joint finances. And we strongly urge

you to get premarital counseling. Your fiance sounds like an oncom-ing train wreck.

Dear Annie: A few months ago, you printed a letter from “Marie,” who was look-ing for nursing home and assisted living fa-cilities for family mem-bers who live out of

state.You provided information only

on nursing homes. For information on assisted living residences, please suggest that your readers contact Argentum (formerly the Assisted Living Federation of America) at

argentum.org, or write us at 1650 King Street, Suite 602, Alexandria, VA 22314. -- Richard T. Moore, President, Massachusetts Assisted Living Facilities Association

Dear Richard Moore: Thank you for this additional valuable in-formation. We hope any of our

readers who are searching for an appropriate residence will check this resource.

This Winter Carnival week-end, Rossland will hold its very own Death Race.

A new event, the Death Race is a snow skating race

down Spokane St. that will take place Sunday at noon.

“[A snow skate] is like a skateboard with a ski on it in-stead of wheels,” explains Jesse Cox, organizer for the new event.

Participants in the Death

Race will take off down Spokane St. all at once and the winner will collect the pot from the entry fees.

Cox estimates there will be 15 to 20 people participating in the event.

“Everyone is just going to

[register] in the morning be-fore the race,” he says.

“I know who has all the boards in town, so it’ll be about 15 or 20.”

The entry fee is $10 and helmets, waivers and leashes are mandatory.

Death Race new addition to

Rossland Carnival
