Mistletoe Market was bustling with shoppers eager to get their hands on locally made creations or hear about the newest product available from vendors.

The season of giving arrived early this past weekend with local crafters combining efforts to raise funds for IncrEDIBLE Trail.

Over 20 vendors at Mistletoe Market donated 10 per cent of their sales, $1,800 total and counting, including market entrance fees toward the or-ganization’s community garden in the Gulch.

For the first time, the annual Christmas market was spread over two days — a nighttime slot Saturday and a morning to afternoon shop on Sunday — to ensure everyone had a chance to check out some local talent.

Baked treats, clothing, pottery, glass-ware, winter wear, jewelry, and soaps were just a few items that were picked up, according to organizer Rachel Jansen.

Her message continues to be shop local all while raising funds for groups and organizations that benefit the area.

“Mistletoe Market has made it easy to accomplish both of these goals since the first event in 2008,” she said. “Shoppers are able to give back to the community, support local artisans and vendors and cross items off of their holiday shopping lists all at the same time.”

The market started as an idea to increase customers between local craft-ers. The first year it was held at the

Warfield Hall, before moving down-town to open up space to more ven-dors. The spring addition, Blooming Creative, has also been a success story, says Jansen.

“As organizers, we are so pleased to say that in the years of organizing both the Mistletoe Market and Blooming Creative events that we have been able to offer a venue to support such a wonderful and diverse group of local artisans and vendors in their business success,” continued Jansen, “while at the same time also supporting the do-nation of nearly $20,000 back to local organizations.”

SD20 budget projections

predict $1.35 million

shortfall next yearBalancing a budget is going to be a future

tightrope act for School District 20.The SD20 board is finding the $250,000 need-

ed to balance this school year’s preliminary bud-get, but more alarming is the 2016-2017 school year projection of an estimated $1.35 million shortfall.

“That $1.3 (million) is going to be a real kick in the ass,” CUPE president Roger Smith told the board at Monday night’s regular meeting in Trail.

He’s hopeful secretary-treasurer Natalie Verigin’s projections are right on the money for the following year (2017-2018), where enrolment numbers are set to stabilize and add ease to bud-getary lines.

The board is using $250,000 earmarked for the 2016-2017 budget to balance the current year after recalculating its funding protection supple-ment, which is based on the previous year’s base funding.

“We had a (special education enrolment) audit and had students that weren’t in compliance so we had to return our money last year,” explained Verigin.

“Overall, we received less money last year so this year our formula, our supplement that we used when we created our preliminary budget, was wrong because we used an estimate from the year before, which was inaccurate.”

There are rules around who gets special edu-cation support in terms of students and there is a dollar value attached, explained Darrel Ganzert, board chair.

“They (auditors) looked through our entire system and found that we were letting kids into special ed and receiving funding for them and in the strict definition of the criteria, as they saw it, we were not complying with the rules,” he explained, alluding to some discussion around special education underway.

The board is also looking ahead by using the ministry’s “funding estimator tool” to a year of cuts, if a predicted $1.35 million shortfall pegged

Club Annual MeetingThursday, Nov.26, 2015

@7:30pm Trail Legion HallAll Members Welcome

This was a hand that occurred at the Rookie Master game on the fifth Thursday

evening of this past October. The Rookie Master game occurs every month there is a fifth Thursday. Phone Margaret Thiel at 250-368-6565 if in-terested.

The Masters are very patient, and I teach my Rookie two things that come up and try to ignore the rest. One has to know the trump suit before trying for slam, and Mexico, not No Trump, is a destina-tion. Three No Trump is a play for nine tricks, and one should have a fit and not a bunch of

misfits unless one has extra values.

The bidding: South opened Two Clubs because one opens

Two Clubs with eight and a half quick tricks, and he had nine with three possible de-fensive tricks. Furthermore, all South needed from partner to make game was a worth-less Diamond doubleton with

trump support, zero HCP’s.North replied Two

Diamonds waiting, and South jumped to Three Spades. This shows a self-sufficient suit and sets Spades as trump even if partner is void.

One never makes slam in-

quiries until some sort of fit is found and investigations have been made, but a bid of Three Spades has taken care of that.

Furthermore, Three Spades asks partner to start cuebid-ding. Obviously, partner would only cuebid Aces and Kings not singletons and doubletons with poor trump support.

This is beyond the scope of a Rookie Master game, but I prefer the Italian style of Cuebidding. A cuebid below game shows first or second round control and one stops cuebidding when one does not have a control in a suit skipped by partner.

Partner replies 3NT which is never to play and is called serious Three No Trump ask-ing partner to start cuebidding because North needs to hear about Clubs and North is seri-ous about slam.

After North hears Club and

Heart controls, she only needs to double check if the con-trols are aces and not distribu-tional and uses 1430 keycard Blackwood. Missing a keycard, she settles for Six Spades.

The Play: West will never cash the Club Ace and free up South’s Club Control. Instead, she leads the Diamond Queen.

Declarer draws trump, pitches a Diamond on the Heart King and claims Six Spades with nowhere to park the Club King.

BC Professional Fire Fighting Burn Fund.

IncrEDIBLE Trail is a volun-teer organization that fosters growing locally and sharing the wealth with a green route that showcases the many business-sponsored planters that line the streets of downtown Trail.

The group is also digging its effort into a community garden, with a vision of growing this green space with funds from

this charity event. “We pick a local charity or

group every year, and they’ve (IncrEDIBLE Trail) been doing some really fantastic things in the community and so we wanted to support them,” said Jansen. “That whole movement of growing your community while shopping locally, we just thought that was a nice tie-in because they’re trying to grow things in the community.”

Canada Post should think outside of the box.

Instead of taking away services like door-to-door delivery, the cor-poration could be finding new ways to increase revenue and encourage growth, says the Local 842 CUPW (Canadian Union of Postal Workers) president.

Back in town after recent union meetings in Victoria, Ingrid Tyson explained CUPW will soon begin contract talks and its membership has a few proposals.

“The union is about to start ne-gotiations,” she said, referring to the collective agreement which ends Jan. 31 , 2016. “And our suggestions for expansion of services including post-al banking, would help ensure CPC (Canada Post Corporation) contin-ues to be sustainable now and in the future.”

Described as a “bank for every-one” the union maintains Canada needs a postal bank to service rural towns and villages across the country.

Until 1968 post offices did offer a national saving bank, and CUPW says bringing back that service could increase financial inclusion, fund economic development and gener-ate revenue to preserve public postal service and jobs.

Canada Post’s announcement that its controversial community mail-box program is ‘on hold’ is a step in the right direction, Tyson says, but any forthcoming decisions should be broader based and involve everyone who buys postage and sends by mail.

“The suspension of CPC’s mis-guided plan to eliminate door-to-door is a good thing for our com-munities,” she said. “And (we) hope the new government will ensure this is not a temporary measure, but will quickly hold a public mandate review to ask Canadians what their priori-ties are for the future of the public post,” Tyson reiterated. “There are many other ways to increase CPC’s revenues and we are encouraging

positive expansions instead of reduc-tion of service.”

There was no official information on how many jobs would have been affected Trail’s 18 employees and 12 letter carriers had the community mailbox area entered the city.

But Tyson says there would have been at least a 50 per cent reduction of letter carrier jobs in the city, had door-to-door- delivery been elimi-nated.

Following discussions with the new Liberal government, Canada Post released a statement Oct. 26, reporting temporary suspension of the controversial community mail box program.

Canada Post spokesperson Anick Losier said the corporation will work collaboratively with the government of Canada to determine the best path forward given the ongoing challenges faced by the Canadian postal system.

“Efforts are now underway to place the comprehensive program on hold in an orderly fashion,” Losier said. “This involves roughly 460,000 addresses across the country which are currently in the process to be converted to community mailboxes.”

CPC cited competition from cou-riers, technology and growing popu-larity of paying bills on line were behind a growing deficit.

Postal workers, including Local 842, were blindsided two years ago when Canada Post made the an-nouncement that within five years, 6,000 to 8,000 positions would be eliminated as home delivery was phased out and replaced with com-munity mail boxes.

“Our system is emptier than it use to be,” Losier told the Trail Times in an earlier interview. “This company was built on letters and an affluence of letters across the country.”

She said company has seen a rapid decline of letters and increased loss of revenue since the introduction of the tablets (Apple) in 2008.

“I understand the union’s concerns but our business has changed dra-matically.”

this projected deficit to the one-time funding of $250,000 moved to this year’s budget, $500,000 doled out for the funding protection supplement

and close to $400,000 of pres-sure to administrative savings.

“There is a light at the end of the tunnel around declining enrolment,” he said.

“If all projections are cor-rect, we will have steady enrol-ment starting the 2017/18 year,

which means we won’t have to come up with $500,000 a year after that.

“Admin savings is a two-year program,” he added. “It was just out of the blue and came from nowhere, with no rational for it from the government.”

VICTORIA - Dwayne Mazereeuw knew lives were in peril after a giant wave hit the Leviathan 11 and tossed him, his wife and 25 others into the chilling, rolling waters off the west coast of Vancouver Island.

“As soon as the boat went over, as soon as people started flying into the water, I knew we were in a bad situ-ation,” said the Calgary man about the Oct. 25 tragedy near Tofino that claimed six lives.

“I knew it was very possible lives were going to be lost that day,” he said.

Mazereeuw, 36, said he and his wife, Elisa, 34, were on their first weekend getaway to-gether since the births of their young children when disaster struck on an afternoon whale-watching voyage that turned deadly.

He said Monday that he and his wife survived the ordeal by clutching a life ring for anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour in the frigid waters before being pulled aboard a water taxi that came to their rescue from the nearby First Nation vil-lage of Ahousaht.

Mazereeuw said the whale watchers were viewing sea lions on

the rocks near an area called Plover Reefs about 15 kilometres west of Tofino when the boat capsized.

“I remember looking over to the right side of the boat and seeing a fairly large wave com-ing but didn’t think a whole lot of it,” he re-called.

“We were on a pret-ty big boat and would never have expected anything like that.”

Mazereeuw said the wave tipped the boat and it wasn’t until he saw people being flung overboard that he real-ized the danger of the situation.

“I managed to hang onto the boat for a

while as it was going down, but I too was quickly in the water,” he said. “It happened super quick. After that, I ended up underneath the boat.”

Mazereeuw said he was able to swim to the surface and saw a man in the water hanging onto a life ring from the vessel.

“I had no idea where my wife was at the time,” he said. “I heard my name being called. I think it was one of the crew members who was with my wife. She was able to swim over and latch onto the life ring with me.”

Mazereeuw said he and his wife and three

others clung to the life ring as waves crashed over their heads. He said the water was coated with oil and die-sel from the capsized vessel.

Mazereeuw said the survivors saw a life raft from the boat, but the waves were too rough to allow them to get near.

He said the sight of a rescue flare fired in the near distance gave the survivors hope help was on the way.

“After a bit, it didn’t seem too long when we saw the first boat come,” said Mazereeuw. “We were frozen solid, exhausted. They liter-ally had to pull us out of the water.”

He said the Ahousaht residents who launched a rescue effort likely saved numerous lives.

“It could have been a lot worse out there,” said Mazereeuw. “They risked their lives to come out and save us. The waters weren’t calm.”

Mazereeuw said he and his wife have already personally thanked Francis and Michele Campbell who arrived in their water taxi to pull eight survi-vors from the water.

Mazereeuw said he plans to return to Ahousaht in the spring to help with the com-munity’s efforts to build a skateboard park for local youth. Mazereeuw works as a skateboard park de-signer in Calgary and wants to help repay the community with a new skate park.

Vancouver Island outreach worker Grant

Shilling said the Get On Board project to build the skate park can use Mazereeuw’s help and donations from others by visiting the website gobyouth.com, which is raising money for the effort.

Five Britons died in the sinking: David Thomas, 50, and his 18 year-old son Stephen; Jack Slater, 76, a British national living in Toronto; Katie Taylor, a 29-year-old Briton living in Whistler, B.C., and 63-year-old Nigel Hooker of Southampton, England.

Surfers discovered the body of Australian tourist Raveshan Morgan Pillay, 27, last week off Vargas Island.

“We lost a lot of sleep over the last month,” said Mazereeuw.

BY TOM FLETCHERBlack Press

The B.C. government expects to finish the fiscal year next March with a $265 million surplus, thanks to surging property transfer tax reve-nues and a lower Canadian dollar that helps everything from tourism to the movie and TV industry.

Government revenues have de-clined due to lower natural gas, metals and other natural resources, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Tuesday in his second quarter financial up-date. But with a continued hot real estate market in southwestern B.C. and housing starts running above av-erage, property purchase tax revenue is $150 million ahead of the February budget forecast.

Retail sales are running 7.2 per cent ahead of last year for the period of April to August, with vehicle and parts sales up 9.5 per cent and food and beverage up 7.5 per cent.

De Jong said the Canadian dollar, currently trading at 75 cents U.S., has cut down on cross-border shopping

trips from B.C. and contributed to a rebound of tourism, which along with stronger employment has helped increase retail sales.

The dollar exchange rate has also led to an increase in movie and TV production, which costs the prov-ince because of the big tax incentives offered to lure foreign productions here.

Foreign movie companies get a 25 per cent tax rebate for all spending on labour in the province, and the latest estimate is those credits will climb to a record $514 million for the current year. De Jong said B.C. remains com-petitive in the movie business despite Ontario increasing its tax credits in 2009 to cover 25 per cent of all spend-ing by foreign movie and TV produc-tion companies.

Forest fire expenses were higher than average this year, but not as high as expected earlier in the season.

Exports from B.C. are down over-all, with economic growth projections downgraded for the U.S., Canada, China and Japan, which de Jong said is now back in a recession.

THE PENTIC TON WESTERN NE WS

Gateway Casinos & Entertainment has announced a $25 million capi-tal investment in relocation of its Penticton casino.

At a press conference on Monday at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre, Gateway Casinos said they have entered into a lease agreement with the City of Penticton for land and are going to offer an enhanced entertainment experience with over 45,000 square feet of space featuring live music, gaming and multiple din-ing options. The new casino will be

located at the south east corner of the South Okanagan Events Centre site.

Some of the amenities at the newly named Cascades Casino Penticton include a rooftop patio, buffet and enhanced gaming floor featuring a wide variety of table games and slot machines.

Gateway Casinos estimates the project will create up to 150 new jobs, raising the total number of Gateway’s workforce in Penticton to nearly 300. Construction is expected to begin in 2016 and last around 18 months, creating the equivalent of 200 person-years of employment.

October and November are always very busy months, and they were especially busy for the Rossland-Trail Interact Club.

On Halloween, we did Halloween for Hunger, which meant that we went house to house in Rossland col-lecting non-perishables for the local food bank. It was a very successful fundraiser—we collect-ed over 400 items!

We thank the com-munity for their gen-erosity. We also raised money through our leaf raking fundraiser; you may have noticed the posters up around town.

We raked eight yards that were beautifully covered in autumn leaves. Thank you to the families who took part and gave us extremely generous donations.

Looking ahead, there are also many fundrais-ers coming up in the next few months.

In Syria, there has been and is currently a lot of violence hap-pening, around 240 000 people have been killed, and one million more are permanently disabled or wounded. 12 million Syrians have fled the country and around half are chil-dren—some of whom are leaving by them-selves.

Trying to help out in any way we can, we are holding a “ Loonie War”

at Crowe from Nov. 5 to 27. Each grade is divid-ed into girls and boys so that each group has a jar, and the aim is to put as many loonies in your own jar as possible because only loonies count as positive value. You can put non-loo-nies (paper bills, nick-els, dimes ) in the oppo-site teams’ jars because they count for negative value and are deducted from their total positive amount of loonies.

For example, if one jar has one loonie and one quarter, their total would be seventy-five cents. The jar that raises the most money will get to pick a crazy and fun task from a list of challenges that teachers have agreed to do.

Some items on the list include dying eye-brows pink, wearing a clown costume for the day, and even challeng-es entitled “anything”—

a challenge that is to be negotiated with the winning team.

All the money that is raised will be donated to the refugee families cur-rently in Rossland (or to be sponsored to live in Rossland through the West Kootenay Friends of Refugees) and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), which is an international agency mandated to help re-solve refugee problems and protect refugees.

The last fundraiser we are currently work-ing on is a Facebook auction; we have done this before and hope that it is as successful.

Starting Dec. 1, we will be uploading pic-tures of various items to the Facebook page “Interact Online Auction” that business owners from Trail and Rossland have very gen-erously donated. From there, you can bid on

the items by comment-ing on each post until bidding ends on Dec. 15. The money will go towards our volun-teer trip to Guatemala, where we are going to help out the families, children and overall community.

Chuck BennettPUBLISHER

By sheer coincidence, a book I wrote called “Don’t Panic: Islamic State, Terrorism and Today’s Middle East”

was published just before the ter-rorist attacks in Paris. So naturally everybody interviewing me about the book asked me if it is time to panic now. They couldn’t resist it. And of course I replied no, it is not time to panic.

If a train derailed in the Paris Metro, killing 130 people and in-juring over 300, the story would dominate the news in France for around 24 hours, 48 hours tops. In other countries it would definitely be only a one-day story: just one more transport accident, in a world where trains collide, planes crash and ships sink from time to time.

But if it’s not an accident – if human beings deliberately caused those deaths – then the media feed-ing frenzy starts. The story is twenty times as big, and it can dominate the news schedules for a week. Most people in Europe, North America and the Middle East have watched at least several hours of coverage of the Paris events and their aftermath – as long as a feature film – and even in more distant parts of the world it has been the event of the week.

There is nothing puzzling about this phenomenon. It’s perfectly natural for people to be more in-terested in murder than in mere mechanical malfunctions. But the

sheer volume of the coverage makes a ter-rorist attack feel like a much bigger event than it actually is. Even if you live a very long way from where the real action is.

If you live in Syria, the threat isn’t just terrorism. Islamic State is already a major threat to the many Syrians it hates (Shias, Christians, Druze, and even Sunni Muslims who have worked for the government or fought in the army). If IS gained control of the whole country, the number of Syrian refugees would double or triple.

If you live in Iraq, you are much less at risk, for Islamic State has lit-tle hope of expanding into the Shia-dominated parts of the country still under Baghdad’s control, or into the areas under Kurdish control.

If you live in Turkey or other Arab countries – indeed, in any other Muslim country – you may face a serious threat from home-grown extremists, but all they get from IS is encouragement and maybe a bit of training. It’s really a domestic problem.

If you live in France or the United States or China, your only worry is the occasional terrorist attack that may have been encouraged by Islamic State – but the people

who carry it out are mostly locals. You deal with that sort of thing just the way you dealt with other terrorist threats in the past: border controls, enhanced security measures at public events, and good intelligence.

If Western air forces want to bomb Islamic State too, by

all means do so, but they will be all alone in that job.

The Arab states that are alleg-edly part of President Obama’s “co-alition” have all withdrawn their air forces and are bombing Yemen instead. And the Turks are almost exclusively bombing the Kurds (in-cluding the Kurds fighting Islamic State), except when they shoot down a Russian plane.

The Russian and “coalition” (mostly American) bombs falling on Islamic State have stopped its expansion, at least for the moment, and the recent air attacks on the tanker-trucks that carry the black-market oil out have certainly cut into its income, but it is not about to fall.

As for “boots on the ground”, forget it. The only people fighting Islamic State on the ground are the Kurds and what’s left of the Syrian army after four years of war. The Syrian army was on the brink

of collapse last summer before the Russian bombing campaign saved it, and it still lacks the strength to recapture much territory. Islamic State is going to be around for a while.

Stopping Western air attacks on Islamic State might save some Western cities from terrorist at-tacks, but even that is not guar-anteed. Islamic State is competing with al-Qaeda for support in the Muslim and especially the Arab world, and spectacular acts of ter-rorism are good recruiting tools. Islamic State also thinks it is fol-lowing a divinely ordained script, which makes it relatively impervi-ous to normal calculations of stra-tegic advantage.

Does this mean terrorist attacks inspired by Islamic State will con-tinue for months or years no matter what the West does? Probably.

Within living memory Western countries have fought real wars that killed millions of

their citizens, and they didn’t buckle under the strain. The scale of the threat they face now is so much smaller that it is ridiculous to call it a war at all, and yet they flap about like frightened poultry.

If terrorist attacks on the scale of Paris are the greatest threat facing the West, then these are very fortu-nate countries.

For those not counting, there have been eight B.C. trade missions to China alone in the last 18

months. Forests minister Steve Thomson is set to leave on a ninth mission this Friday.

Premier Christy Clark came home from her third trip to China, in early November, proud-ly waving one letter of intent, one strategic cooperative agree-ment, two strate-gic partnership agreements and 18 MOUs, signed by 28 companies on the mission. One company re-announced a 2014 investment agree-ment.

Add the new dollar announce-ments in the mis-sion background-er all up and they total $25.9 million.

Meanwhile – as Clark was warming up for the Terry Fox run in Hong Kong – Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne announced $1.2 billion in new agreements on the first stop of her trade mission to China.

By the time Wynne left, she was clutching $2.5 billion in agreements.

Trade missions aren’t cheap, they set the B.C. government back $767,000 in 2014 and that doesn’t include the bill for local governments, universities and other agencies.

Think $15,000 to $20,000 per person for flights, transporta-tion, hotels and meals.

B.C.’s education sector is cer-tainly no slouch when it comes to tagging along.

In 2014, international trade minister Teresa Wat led a mis-sion where nearly half of the 53 member delegation were from the education sector, 22 from the public side and four private.

Strangely – given the dele-

gation’s composition – neither then education minister Peter Fassbender nor then advanced education minister Amrik Virk accompanied Wat.

Quickly remedied.Five months later, the new

advanced education minister, Andrew Wilkinson, led another trade mission to China, with four post-secondary institutions and the B.C. Council for International

Education. Four of the five had just returned from Wat’s trade mis-sion.

How has all this jet-setting worked out for them?

According to Citizenship and I m m i g r a t i o n Canada, the num-ber of interna-tional students in

B.C. on study permits has in-creased from 26,483 in 2009 to 28,400 in 2013.

Nothing to brag about, par-ticularly when you consider that in the same period, B.C.’s share of international students fell from 31 per cent to 25 per cent of Canada’s total. Ontario’s share rose from 36 per cent to 44 per cent.

Each mission comes with pomp and ceremony.

Clark has opened the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, plaques have been unveiled at a school in India and at the China Canada Clean-Tech Innovation Centre.

There have been tête-à-têtes with Joon-Yang Chung, then CEO of Korean-based steel pro-ducer POSCO, and Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Razak.

While some mission an-nouncements do come true, oth-ers don’t and some were never about B.C.

Much was made of POSCO’s 2011 announcement that it would invest $181 million at the

Mount Klappan coal mine in northern B.C.

Little was made of the govern-ment’s decision this year to buy back 61-disputed licenses associ-ated to the mine from POSCO and Fortune Minerals for $18.3 million.

The Douglas Channel LNG project was a key part of Clark’s 2013 trade mission, even though the proponents plan to build their $300 million floating terminal in China, if they can get around a 25 per cent federal tariff.

Of the dozens of MOUs signed on missions, one – between the Vancouver Airport Authority and the Shenzhen Airport Group – is “to share information and knowledge, learn and benefit from each other.”

Mission updates drip with catchy phrases: top priority mar-kets, high-level meetings, co-operation agreements, accelerate research collaborations.

For Clark’s trip this month there were 12 updates, but only seven came from the govern-ment itself and two of those were focused on Clark running the Terry Fox Run.

They’re thin on results too.May have a bit to do with the

fact that between 2011 and 2014, the value of B.C. exports to the Pacific Rim rose by 1.35 per cent to $14.212 billion and fell as a share of total exports from 42.9 per cent to 39.7 per cent.

In the same period, the value of exports overall rose by 9.47 per cent.

At $34.25 billion in annual trade with Asia-Pacific countries (imports and exports), B.C. has a ways to go to hit the govern-ment’s 2009 forecast of $76 bil-lion in trade by 2020.

Thinking out loud here, but maybe fewer photo-ops and more elbow grease should be the order of the day on future trade missions.

Kimberley Bulletin

The new city sign at the Wasa junction is certainly hard to miss. It’s large, it’s red and it has a simple message: An arrow points in the direction of Kimberley on 95A — good times. An arrow directs you east and south on Highway 95 — every-thing else.

The sign is directed specifically to tour-ists, says Mayor Don McCormick.

“We want to provide a message to tourists, it’s an effort to get them

to check Kimberley out. The fact is that people these days travel point to point. They are using GPS, and GPS tells you to bypass Kimberley because its not on the major highway. We need to give them a rea-son to go to Kimberley.

“Good times is a catch phrase for Gen X and Gen Y. This is

designed to drive visi-tors to Kimberley. We need a simple message. The message is good, it doesn’t dis Cranbrook. There’s lots of good in ‘everything else’.

“We had requested having new directional signage put at Wasa almost a year ago and we still don’t have that up. We are still deal-ing with Highways. We just wanted a sign say-ing you could still ac-cess Cranbrook through Kimberley.”

What it comes down to is that Kimberley has four billboards and they have had them for a number of years.

They were old and

faded and needed to be reskinned, McCormick says. There are four different signs, all with simple themes. Will any feathers be ruffled by them?

“Only if it is taken way too seriously,” he said. “We are fight-ing the GPS routes and need something catchy to get the atten-tion of tourists who have the time to head to Cranbrook/Hwy 3 through Kimberley.”

Child care in the East Kootenay is lacking ac-cording to a delegation that spoke to council this week.

Katherine Bonnell and Mary Noble, from the East Kootenay Child Care Needs Assessment Advisory Committee were in council on Monday to talk about child care needs in the area.

They noted that early learning and child care programs in the East Kootenay region are in des-perate need of qualified early childhood educators and early childhood educator assistants.

Bonnell said that there are 18 early childhood educator positions currently vacant in the region, according to the East Kootenay child care resource and referral program. Many of the positions have been available for over a year.

Bonnell also noted that the region has the high-est number of vacant early childhood positions in the B.C. Interior.

Saints make it six in a rowJIM BAILEY

Trail TimesSelkirk College Saints

goaltender Brett Huber was sensational in back-stopping the BCIHL’s top team to a 4-3 vic-tory over the Eastern Washington University Eagles on Saturday in Cheney, Wash.

Despite being out-shot 43-20 in the game, Saints forward Ryan Edwards netted his sec-ond goal of the season to score what proved to be the winning goal with 5:35 to play in the second period.

After Eagles Matt Lucero was sent off for a hit to the head, Edwards, a Trail native, converted a pass from Jamie Vlanich to put the Saints up 4-2 to earn the Saints their league lead-ing eighth win of the season.

But it was Huber who stole the show as the Calgary native repelled a vigorous Eagle attack in the third period, stopping 18 shots in the final frame to preserve the victory.

“Every game we know we have a chance to win because of those guys between the pipes,” Saints captain Tyler Lenting told Inside the BCIHL. “We know that playing a defensive game will move us on to scoring goals, and we’ve had our coaches tell-ing us since Day 1 that defence wins hockey games, so having those guys in net is a big con-fidence for us.”

The Saints jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a pair of goals from Matt Martin 20 sec-onds apart, with former Beaver Valley Nitehawk defenceman Danny Vlanich assisting on both markers. However, Paxton Bell would draw EWU to within one be-fore the period was out.

Jamie Vlanich put the Saints up 3-1 on a set up from former Trail Smoke Eater defence-man Nathan Browne 77 seconds into the middle frame. But Eagles for-ward Trevor Zakrajsek replied, making it 3-2 at 12:35 on the power play.

After Edwards count-ed his 15th point of the season, Brett Mathews would round out the scoring on another power-play goal at 3:23, but that was as close as the Eagles would get.

Jamie Vlanich’s two points puts him tied for second in league scoring with seven goals and 17 points, while Edwards is right behind him with 15 points. Saints forward Dallas Calvin, who leads the BCIHL in scoring with 12-8-20, missed Saturday’s game due to a lower body in-jury.

Browne and Danny Vlanich were big con-tributors on the back end, each with two as-sists. The Browne and Vlancih duo lead all de-fencemen in the league with nine and eight points respectively.

“We have a lot of skill on the back end and the front end as well, but the defence has really stepped up their game and allowed us to shut down other teams,” said Lenting.

The Saints dodged a bullet in the third pe-riod. Down two men for over three minutes, they killed off the pen-alties to win their sixth game in a row. Selkirk College has not lost a game since going 2-2 to start the season and have a six-point cush-ion on Trinity Western and Simon Fraser University. Among their victories, the Saints beat EWU at home 9-2 on Oct. 24 and eked out another 4-3 win on Nov. 6 at the EWU Rec Complex.

“We don’t think of the winning streak, but it’s a hard barn to go play in,” said Lenting. “They (EWU) get big crowds and they seem to play a more confi-dent game when they’re down there.”

The Saints will hit the road to play both Trinity Western and SFU on Dec. 4 and 5 to wrap up their 2015 campaign.

Ernie Brown squandered a 7-2 lead against the Clare Coleman foursome last week at the Trail Curling Club.

The Coleman side strategically blanked the fifth end. Down by only two after seven, and sitting two with Ernie’s last rock to come. The Brown’s takeout rubbed the guard and missed shot rock to make the final a 7-7 draw.

Offence was the name of the game in the Serge Pasquali and Alvin Caron tilt. Team Pasquali trailed going into the eighth end by one with hammer. What should have been a clean end soon got messy. Out of the pile was

a steal of one for Caron and a 9-7 victory.

Tied at two after three ends, team Wayne Wyton scored four in the fourth over team Harvey Handley. Team Handley stole their way back to a tie after seven. Determined not to let Handley steal his way to a tie or win, team Wyton kept the middle open for a draw for one, to make the final 7-6.

The Brett Rakuson foursome faced the Primo Secco bandits. The bandits stole the first five ends by getting hits and rolls, wicks and rolls. After scor-ing one in the sixth end the Rakuson side put up their hands and surren-dered, making the final 8-1.

BY TIMES CONTRIBUTORTeam van Yzerloo toppled Corvus

Construction from the ranks of the undefeated this past week in Kootenay Savings Super League ac-tion at the Trail Curling Club.

Corvus Construction put their perfect season on the line against a highly focused Team vanYzerloo. Skip Bill van Yzerloo, with cousin Rich Faunt playing third this week, caught onto the tricky ice conditions early, stealing the first four ends and seizing a 6-0 lead. Corvus Skip Deane Horning made a perfect double take-out for two, to get on the board in the fifth , and another in the seventh. But vanYzerloo countered with his own deuce in the sixth and had one buried with one rock remaining in the eighth, when Corvus took off the gloves to concede to a frustrating 9-4 defeat and the end of their unde-feated season.

A couple of crafty skips faced off in the Team Beauchamp versus Team Fines tilt. After Fines took the early lead with a deuce in the second, Skip Russ Beauchamp responded with a come around tap for three in the third. Skip Ken Fines was forced to

take one in the fourth then stole the fifth to tie the game at 4-4. Fines finally grabbed the lead with a deuce in the ninth to be one up coming home without, but racked on his last rock come around, leaving Russ an open draw for two, and an exciting 8-7 win.

Team Albo continued their stel-lar play against Heather Nichols la-dies rink. Albo’s front end of Don Williams and Courtney Schmidt continually caused havoc for the Nichol rink, contributing to stealing five ends, leading to an 11-5 win.

Team Umpherville, with Marcus Partridge throwing skip stones, waged a back-and-forth affair with Team Nichol. Team Umpherville was up 5-2 after a steal in the fourth, but skip Myron righted the ship to take 5 of the next 6 points and the lead after eight. Umpherville scored two in the ninth to be back in the lead, and looked to have a steal for the win, before Nichol made one of the shots of the year, running a double guard onto his own, chipping it onto the button for an 8-8 tie.

When the dust settled it was Nelson Leafs house team beating Greater Trail 2 team 8-3 in the final to be crowned tournament champions.

Three teams from Kelowna com-peted against three teams from Trail, one Nelson squad and one Castlegar

team. Following the round robin, the

top-four teams met in two semifinal games, with Greater Trail 1 taking on Greater Trail 2 in one semifinal and Nelson facing the Kelowna Oil Kings in the other semifinal. Greater Trail 2 came away with a 5-1 victory over Trail 1, and Nelson won a thriller in a shoot out against Kelowna.

TODAY’S CROSSWORD

LEISURE

Dear Annie: A couple of months ago, I met a guy at a con-cert and he added me as his friend on Facebook. Except for that one encounter, I don’t really know him.

Tonight, I was strolling through Facebook and noticed a very dis-turbing post he had made. It both-ered me so much that I went to his page and saw that the previous two hours had been a stream of disturb-ing comments alluding to hurting others. Nobody had commented or liked any of his posts, so I went back further on his page.

It seems this guy doesn’t have any friends. His page looked like a one-way cry for help. I feel bad for him, but I’m scared to say anything. Is there a way I could get help for him anonymously? I worry that he may hurt himself or others. -- Not a Friend

Dear Not: We suggest you visit this guy’s Facebook page and click the link that says “Report.” It will then be checked out by Facebook personnel who can determine how

to handle it, and your name will not be mentioned.

Though a great many folks post things on Facebook to give the impression that their lives are more interest-ing than they really are, this guy may be using Facebook simply to vent. Nonetheless, we don’t recommend that you become more involved in what he posts by responding.

Dear Annie: My 20-year-old daughter recently became engaged to her 24-year-old boyfriend. My husband and I are delighted. We like her fiance very much.

As soon as they set a date, we talked to the groom’s parents about the type of wedding they had in mind. Surprisingly, they told us that, as parents of the bride, we are responsible for all of the expenses, including the minister’s fee. They said that was the rule according to the etiquette books. True to their word, they haven’t offered a penny,

even though they can afford it. After “the talk,” we scaled back

considerably. We have kept the groom’s parents informed of our

plans, so they don’t feel left out. The groom is embarrassed by his par-ents’ decision not to contribute, but appar-ently, he either won’t say

anything or it hasn’t made any dif-ference.

As the deposit checks go out, my disappointment is increasing. I am trying hard to convince myself that the wedding is a gift to my daugh-ter, and I’m hoping the groom’s parents will give to their son in some other way to make up for this. -- Mother of the Bride in Phoenix

Dear Mother: While we agree that the groom’s family seems un-generous, etiquette says that the groom (not necessarily his parents) is responsible for his share of the wedding costs, although what that entails can vary. But it includes the officiant’s fee, the rehearsal dinner

and the honeymoon, among other things.

These days, most couples pay for their own wedding or split the costs between the bride’s family and the groom’s, and we think this is a much more reasonable ar-rangement. After all, most brides

and grooms hold jobs and live in-dependently of their parents. The good news for you is, if you are covering all of the expenses, you get to make all of the decisions. A lot of brides and their parents would be happy with that arrange-ment.
