Gail Winters, from Trail Community in Bloom, was elbow deep in foliage this week, along with a handful of helpers, to arrange festive baskets as part of downtown Trail’s seasonal decor. This year, the greenery was collected by volunteers who trimmed trees from under power lines and gave the clippings a second life as fragrant and sustainable decoration. Columbia Valley Greenhouses provided Winters and fellow basket-arrangers the space to assemble half of their goal, which is 75 baskets, that will be hung from lampposts along Bay and Cedar avenues.

Two months after a devastating train explosion in Lac-Megantic, Que., the federal government is ordering rail companies to come clean and tell communities when they pass through with dangerous goods on board.

This ruling, called a protection direction, was issued in Ottawa on Wednesday in hopes it will result in better communication between muni-cipalities and rail companies.

Locally, the regional emergency services coordinator said a line of communication with Teck Trail Operations has long been established that includes information about the products regularly transported through Greater Trail.

“That has been taken into account as part of our regional emergency plan that we have on file and just updated last year,” confirmed Dan Derby. “We are aware and work with Teck on a regular basis so collectively we’d respond to an event that involved a rail car and Teck products.”

While Teck does have extensive emergency training and capacity to respond, rail companies are respon-sible for ensuring safe transport on their rail systems, said Catherine Adair, Teck’s community relations leader.

“Teck does not ship or receive via rail any materials that are listed as explosives under the Transport of Dangerous Goods Regulation,” she confirmed. “And Teck does not ship or receive fuels by rail.”

CP Rail runs to Teck Trail Operations from Castlegar with rail lines running through Tadanac and up to the Warfield plant.

Additionally, two re-load centres located in the Waneta area, run by third parties and serviced by Kettle Falls International Railway, travel to and from the U.S.

Much of the evening was busi-ness as usual at the regular open meeting of the School District 20 (SD 20) Board of Education at the Kootenay/Columbia Learning Centre in Trail Monday, with the exception of a number of issues concerning Andy Davidoff, presi-dent of the Kootenay Columbia Teacher’s Union.

After the Superintendent of Schools for SD 20, Greg Luterbach, presented enrolment statistics and class breakdowns for the 2013/2014 school year, Davidoff raised the question of the lack of educational assistants (EAs) in a number of classes throughout the district with students who had been identified as either Special Education students or those who received an Individual Education Plan (IEP), which qualifies them for EA support in the classroom.

“These aren’t all students with IEPs, they are students identified as requiring assistance,” Luterbach responded. “In some cases it may be students who are pulled out of class and are receiving support in other ways.”

Davidoff also raised concerns of teaching and support staff in the district regarding an apparent lack of EAs available for replacement of staff on leave or sick days.

“We have asked for the board’s protocols when EAs are not replaced,” said Davidoff.

“I have received emails from student support services having to do EA work when the EA wasn’t replaced. Is there a shortage of EAs?”

Luterbach responded by requesting a formal letter to the board presenting the concerns for it to discuss in later meetings.

“What I want to do in the letter to the board is ask them to identify the classes and ask what the desig-nations are for the students,” said Davidoff following the meeting.

AVenue feAtures go up

FROM PAGE 1“We have a real

concern about EAs and other CUPE staff not being replaced or instances of staff being approved for vacation or leave without being replaced. There are

concerns all round, parents, students, teachers.... It is really difficult for some rea-son. The board is hav-ing difficulty hiring people to replace CUPE positions.”

Luterbach explained

afterwards that the problem isn’t neces-sarily a lack of EAs within the district.

“We have approxi-mately 60 EAs and have a long call-out list. But between ill-ness, vacations, and leaves, we can go through the call-out list but if people don’t answer the phone or are unavailable for whatever reason and we’re shorthanded, the school has to shuffle EAs to try to find the best coverage,” he

said. “We’re keeping tight around people being on leave with-out control. We have our team of EAs and it’s not that we’re not replacing them to save money, we do have a replacement budget. We’re running ads for on-call EAs and we’ll be interviewing for the positions in the com-ing weeks. We’re try-ing to do what we can to manage.”

However, Davidoff says the issues seen locally are an indica-

tion of a larger prob-lem in the province.

“Our concern local-ly is that there is sup-posed to be protocols for every site and every student with an IEP. It’s up to each school site to determine the protocol.

“If the support is not available does the case manager have the authority to send the student home?,” said Davidoff.

“The government removed limits to the number of kids with IEPs in each class, it was formerly three, now there is no limit. When an EA isn’t replaced it can be chaos and teachers end up in a position where they have a hard time meeting the edu-cational needs of the entire class.

“There is a discon-nect between the gov-ernment level of fund-ing and the needs of the schools, the needs on the ground,” he said.

Last year’s Mistletoe Market raised money for the Trail Hospice Society. This year, 10 per cent of Saturday’s sale at the Riverbelle will be going to the British Columbia Professional Fire Fighting Burn Fund.

B y V a l e r i e r o s s iTimes Staff

A growing community of local crafters and arti-sans will make a splash this Saturday with the fifth-annual Mistletoe Market.

About 30 vendors - sell-ing everything from pot-tery, Tupperware, handmade clothing, knits and more - are turning the Riverbelle into a festive shopping expe-rience from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with $2 entrance per person and 10 per cent of the day's sales and orders going to the British Columbia Professional Fire Fighting Burn Fund.

“It's great to see the com-munity come together with all the different venders and artisans and it's nice to be able to donate back to a local charity or cause,” said organizer and vendor Rachel Jansen. “We like the small

atmosphere at the Riverbelle but we are busting at the seams.”

Organizers may have to look at introducing another market with wait lists stack-ing up for both the spring (Creative Blooming) and winter markets. She attri-butes the success to the dif-ferent, local finds and the charity element.

“I think that people feel good about coming in and doing a little extra shopping potentially if they know the proceeds are going to help someone else in their com-munity,” said Jansen.

The past two years have seen 10 markets, with nearly $10,000 raised.

After asking vendors for their input on a local char-ity or cause to support this year, the burn fund topped the list. Word got back that a crafter's husband is a mem-

ber of the Trail Firefighters Local 941(which supports the cause) and a vendor's daughter is dating a burn victim.

“You always hear about fires occurring and there has been a couple of people local-ly who have been affected by fires,” said Jansen.

More than 3,700 pro-fessional firefighters from 50 communities in B.C. and the Yukon contribute to the British Columbia Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund by dedicating their time and skills to sup-port burn survivors and increase the public's knowl-edge about fire and safety issues.

The burn fund not only does preventive work but the registered charity, estab-lished in 1978 by the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters Association, also supports

burn victims in B.C.Across the province, fire-

fighters fundraise for burn victims, sending a portion of the proceeds to the large provincial pot and injecting some money into local ini-tiatives.

“It's a nice idea, too, that there is a number of local artisans and vendors and if you want to keep your money local then we give you the perfect venue to do that,” added Jansen. “And you get to donate back to your com-munity too so it's a nice little cycle.”

There will be door prizes for each vendor, coffee and mulled apple cider provided as well as a firefighter's bar-becue on site.

Local crafters unite for festive sale

FROM PAGE 1“Current operational needs have trains trav-

elling up to a maximum of once per day to and from our site,” said Adair. “We have a mutual aid agreement in place with the regional district’s emergency services,” she explained. “And we regularly carry out joint training exercises.”

In a Canadian Press story, Transport Minister Lisa Raitt acknowledged that the measures won’t prevent another tragedy like the July 6 train dis-aster, when tanker cars carrying oil derailed and exploded into flames, better communication allows communities more tools to prepare for possible future incidents.

“One of the key differences for us is that the rail traffic doesn’t just pass through,” said Derby. “The train is terminated here with offloading and the re-loading of materials. That’s why we are more aware of products than other com-munities.”

The protective direction order is effective immediately and will require Canadian Class 1 railway companies that transport dangerous goods provide municipalities detailed dangerous goods information every three months.

“The biggest take-away with this change for me is that, any time we can share accurate and current information in regards to transportation of these types of goods,” said Derby. “It’s going to enable us to respond better for the community in case of an event.”

Hospital Hill, Warfield Hill, Fifth Avenue Hill. Hills with extreme gradients and significant volume, i.e. Green Avenue.

#2 Priority Bus routes.#3 Priority Downtown core, including downtown parking

lots and the Aquatic Centre.#4 Priority Hills with lighter traffic volumes, i.e. Lilac

Crescent, Park Street.#5 Priority All remaining residential streets and parking

lots.When all 5 priorities have been accomplished, lanes will be plowed and all other streets widened.City owned sidewalks and the Victoria Street Bridge sidewalk will be cleared following heavy snowfalls.In general, sand is not used on level streets except when extreme icing conditions are experienced.Snow removal in the downtown area is undertaken after a heavy snowfall (this is normally done in the evening hours). Other designated business areas will be cleared as required.The City plow trucks plow with the traffic flow. Snow is cleared from the center of the road to the right curb side.The City will not clear snow windrows from any private driveway.Remember, citizens can greatly assist the snow control operation by adhering to the following requests:1. Remove all unused vehicles, boats, trailers, etc. from the

streets from November to March.2. Ensure that any vehicles required to park on the street are

parked as close to the curb or sidewalk as possible.3. Refrain from shoveling or spreading snow onto the boulevard

or into the roadway from sidewalks and private property, etc.4. Obey snow removal signs.Property owners are required to remove any accumulation of snow or ice from sidewalks abutting their property.The City Works Department office in Glenmerry is open from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday to Friday and all snow related concerns or problems should be directed to this office at 250-364-0840.

B y J e f f N a g e lBlack Press

Dana Larsen isn’t conceding defeat yet, but the head of the Sensible BC campaign to reform marijuana policing is already talking about another petition drive if the one now underway fails.

Canvassers have less than three weeks left before the Dec. 9 deadline to submit the petition bearing the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters in every B.C. riding.

They have around 150,000 signatures counted as of Nov. 19,

or about half the num-ber needed and far short of their target of 450,000 to provide a buffer against dis-qualified signatures.

“In at least half of the ridings we are struggling,” Larsen said Tuesday, adding that means a quarter or less of the signa-tures have been gath-ered.

“We have a long way to go.”

Districts with the lowest numbers of signatures include Cariboo, Fort Langley, Langley, Abbotsford and Surrey-Tynehead, Larsen said.

Other areas where canvassers are doing well – either reaching their target or close to it – include Nelson, Creston, Vancouver’s West End, Penticton, Kelowna, Port Alberni and the Similkameen.

“We always knew it was going to be a huge challenge going into the campaign,” Larsen said.

“There’s a lot of fear out there. People would love to sign the petition but say they’d lose their job or their employer told them not to. I find that dis-turbing that people are afraid to express a political opinion.”

He said the main

challenge has been the sheer logistics of collecting so many signatures in every riding in just 90 days.

He noted 50,000 signatures came in over the past week, adding a continued surge in the numbers up to the deadline could still put them “in the ballpark.”

Campaigners aim to pass the proposed Sensible Policing Act to bar police from spending any time or resources enforcing the federal law against possessing small amounts of mari-juana.

A successful peti-tion would require the B.C. government to introduce the pseudo-decriminalization bill in the Legislature or else put it to a refer-endum like the one that defeated the har-monized sales tax.

The government

held that referendum after Fight HST forces gathered 705,000 peti-tion signatures.

“Whether or not we get all the signa-tures we need, this campaign will abso-lutely continue,” Larsen said, adding the “army” of support-ers will push towards marijuana legalization on multiple fronts.

He said Sensible BC could stage a new petition in the months ahead and try again, potentially getting out of the gate faster by quickly re-registering the 4,000 canvassers now signed up.

“I don’t think we will relaunch immedi-ately,” Larsen said, adding the group would take time to study what worked and what didn’t in the event of defeat.

“But almost cer-tainly we would try again in the future.”

Pot petitioners face possible defeat“In at least half of the

ridings we’re struggling.”

B y S t e v e K i d dPenticton Western News

The B.C. Fruit Growers Association has asked two federal ministers to step in and put a moratorium on a genetically-modi-fied apple, even as it approaches regulatory approval in the U.S.

The BCFGA wrote to Health Minister Rona Ambrose and Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz request-ing that the Canadian regulatory process for

the Arctic Apple be suspended.

“Our concern is the negative publicity for apples in general caused by the con-troversy over this GM apple,” said Jeet Dukhia, BCFGA presi-dent, citing concerns over the damage the apple could do to apple marketing. “The pub-lic thinks of apples as a pure, natural, healthy and nutritional fruit. GM apples are a risk to our market image.”

S u m m e r l a n d orchardist and presi-dent of Okanagan Specialty Fruits Neal Carter developed the Arctic Apple,using genetic techniques to

turn off the gene that causes apples to turn brown after being cut. He claims that not only makes them more attractive to the pre-packaged food indus-try, but the apples retain their nutritional aspects longer.

He finds the BCFGA attitude frustrat-ing, saying they are “preaching doom and gloom.”

“They don’t ever think of the other way round, that this innovation could be showing that B.C. is on the leading edge of the apple industry and is responding to con-sumer interest with new products.”

t H e C a N a d i a N P R e S SKELOWNA, B.C. - Icewine growers

are doing a lot of hand rubbing in B.C.’s Okanagan, partly to keep warm as temper-atures plummet, but mostly in glee.

The forecast of a steadily dropping therm-ometer has Steve Dale anticipating an early harvest of his icewine grapes.

If an expected Arctic cold front pushes the mercury below minus 10 C, the owner of Rollingdale Winery plans on giving a late-night phone call to a half-dozen friends to help pluck chilled Pinot Gris grapes from the West Kelowna vineyard.

“This would be one of our earliest-ever icewine harvests. Normally, it doesn’t get this cold until sometime in January.”

Dale has set aside about two-thirds of his entire grape crop for icewine. The fruit reaches just the right combination of slushy sweetness at temperatures between minus 10 C and minus 14 C.

An early harvest is prized by icewine mak-ers as it means they don’t have to leave the grapes out on the vines for months.

Measured against the total volume of wine grapes grown in the Okanagan, fruit earmarked for icewine accounts for just a small percentage. However, the returns for individual wineries can be substantial, with small bottles of icewine selling for $60, and higher on the export market.

MCGIBNEY, DOUGLAS STEWART — It is with great sadness that we announce the pass-ing of Douglas Stewart Mc-Gibney on Nov 13, 2013 at the age of 95.

Buzz, as he was known by all, was born in Welwyn, Saskatchewan. He moved to Trail in 1938 and was em-ployed by Cominco as an Engineering Technologist for 45 years before mov-ing to White Rock in 1986. Throughout his life Buzz was an avid golfer and curler. He participated in � ve Brier curling teams, the Canadian Sen-iors Championship team, and a BC Masters Championship team. In 1978 he was inducted into the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame. In 2011 he was inducted into the Greater Trail Home of Champions Society for recognition on the Home of Champions Monument. Buzz enjoyed golf at the Birchbank golf course for many years. His bump and run game was legendary. His prowess and short game led to many accolades and trophies. After moving to White Rock, Buzz joined the Hazelmere Golf Club and remained a member until he was in his 90s. Every member and employee enjoyed his charismatic personality and obvious love of the game. He lived life large and had more fun than most of us will ever know. He will be missed by all. Buzz is predeceased by his � rst wife Angie, his second wife Betty, his parents Margaret and Stewart, his sisters Agnes and Norma, and his brother Duncan. He is sur-vived by his step children Debbie (Gary), Dar-cie (Scott) and James (Lori), 6 grand children Gord (Shannon), Julie, Dion, Lana, Leigha and Jacqueline, 2 great grand children John & Syd-ney as well as numerous nieces and nephews, including Stuart (Jan), Marg, Clarice, Cathy and Dorin (Bev).

At Buzz’s request there will be no service. In lieu of � owers donations can be made to your favorite charity. Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca

OBITUARIES

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SNAPA, Calif. - Diane

Disney Miller, Walt Disney’s daughter and one of his inspirations for building the Disneyland theme park, has died at her home in Napa, California. She was 79.

Her death Tuesday was confirmed by The Walt Disney Co. The cause was complica-tions from a fall, said Andi Wang, spokeswoman for the Walt Disney Family Museum.

“As the beloved daughter of Walt Disney and one of his inspirations for creat-

ing Disneyland, she holds a special place in the history of The Walt Disney Co. and in the hearts of fans every-where,” Robert A. Iger, the company’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “She will be remembered for her grace and generosity and tireless work to preserve her father’s legacy.”

Miller, the eldest daughter of Walt and Lillian Disney, was born Dec. 18, 1933. In later life, she remembered her father as a man who was caring and patient with his

children.“He’d take me and my sis-

ter Sharon to the merry-go-round at Griffith Park and stand there all day waiting until we were ready to go,” Miller told the San Francisco Chronicle in 1998. “As he stood there, he kept think-ing there should be more for parents and children to do together, and the idea for Disneyland was born.”

Miller founded the Walt Disney Family Museum, which opened in 2009 in San Francisco’s Presidio, as a

tribute to her family’s legacy. One of her major concerns was that her father’s name had become associated more with a corporate identity than with the man himself.

She also played a key role in the completion of the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

“I wanted something that would bear my father’s name, that would come from his wealth but not be com-mercial,” Miller told the Los Angeles Times in September.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SMONTREAL - Lucien Bouchard

has opened up about how he was bullied as a kid, a public revelation he hopes will help spare others from similar torment.

The former Quebec premier shared his story in an online video released Wednesday as part of a cam-paign that coincides with Bullying Awareness Week.

“I’m not only speaking theoretic-ally, I also lived it during my child-hood,” Bouchard says in French during the two-minute clip.

“I know what it’s like to be bul-lied by someone much older and much stronger.”

Bouchard, who speaks directly to the camera as he stands in front of a white backdrop, continues by saying that bullying violates personal free-dom, takes away the victim’s dignity and can lead to a spiral of violence.

He says aggressors try to deal with their own personal problems by targeting others with actions that prove to be self-degrading.

“Bullying is a social problem,” says Bouchard, once a central figure in Quebec’s independence move-ment and a key founder of the Bloc Quebecois. “We must convince one and all that it’s an unacceptable way to act in society.”

Bouchard finishes his statement by holding his right palm in front of the camera and saying: “I say ‘no’ to bullying.” His disclosure comes as authorities across the country search for solutions to a problem that has attracted much attention in recent years, particularly after the high-profile deaths of several Canadian teens who suffered from relentless bullying.

Justice Minister Peter MacKay said Wednesday that Canadians have been touched by such deaths as he introduced federal cyberbully-ing legislation in Ottawa. If passed,

it would be illegal to distribute “intimate images” of individuals without consent and make it easier to remove these pictures from the Internet.

Bouchard’s video, meanwhile, was part of an awareness campaign launched by Fondation Jasmin Roy, a Quebec organization dedicated to the fight against bullying.

The group also released anti-bullying messages Wednesday from other notable Quebecers, includ-ing Olympic champion Alexandre Bilodeau and Montreal actor Jay Baruchel.

“It was a surprise for me to see that (Bouchard) was bullied... It was a surprise like it’s a surprise for all Quebecers today,” Jasmin Roy, the group’s president and founder, said in an interview. “What we now understand is that any person, from any social class, can be a bullying victim.”

Bouchard, Roy added, decid-ed to share his own experiences growing up in Quebec’s Saguenay region after being approached by Sophie Desmarais, the foundation’s honorary spokeswoman. She is the daughter of the late business tycoon Paul Desmarais, who was a friend of Bouchard’s.

Roy also pointed to Bouchard’s remarks in a newspaper interview published Wednesday, a report that quotes the ex-premier as saying he suffered broken teeth, black eyes and bruises after run-ins with his tormentors.

Bouchard told the newspaper he first became a target at school when he was nine years old, and that he and his brothers were also bullied a few years later for being top stu-dents.

“He is sending a message to the population... that even if you’re bul-lied in life you can go far, you can be the premier,” Roy said.

OPINION

I doubt one man’s junk email is treasure to anyone elseI checked my “real” mail

box at home today and found only a couple of flyers and a bill. It

remains mostly junk mail but gone are the days that half my recycling was dedi-cated to unwanted mail.

Now, most of that unwanted mail needs only a hit on the delete but-ton to rid myself of the endless array of self-help, dire warning, government promises or life-changing deals that filter in to my work “in box” daily.

No doubt the Trail Times is part of a huge database that has contact informa-tion for every media out-let in Canada, if not the world. I get bombarded with so many emails from south of the border cov-ering everything from the dire consequences of gay marriage or Obamacare to the latest happenings at a bar in Miami or what the Kardashian girls are up to.

And if you think that's all a bunch of junk, I agree. But it gets much worse.

The Internet has allowed us to respond to any com-ment from anyone, any-where in the world. And whether you're sitting in your parent's basement, in an airport terminal or the Prime Minister's office, all you have to do is hit “send” and that message

gets sprayed far and wide, dare I say, like manure in a farmer's field.

Not all emails are from political parties, global companies or public rela-tions firms.

I get regular ones from a fellow in Gander, Newfoundland, he sends them to every media outlet on his list. He always takes a strong stand supporting veterans, questioning gov-ernment policies and taking to task the usual photo ops and speaking points ruling politicians use to make it look like they're at the fore-front of a national concern and helping Canadians.

There's also a fellow in Summerland as well who usually writes at long lengths about provincial government and its mis-use of funds or patronage appointments or cover-ups.

Politicians, or rather their staffers, are always quick to send out emails pointing out what's wrong with what an opposing pol-itician has said.

I get emails from the “Harper Government,” which I once replied to ask-ing “isn't it called the fed-eral government?” I never got a reply but I certainly got more emails.

Now when I get an email from the PMO (Prime Minister's Office) I can't

help but snicker and think of Senator Mike Duffy's comment about “kids in short pants” down the hall referring to Harper's hand-lers.

The B.C. government must have an office full of writers working 24/7 to keep up with our Premier's acknowledgement of spe-cial events.

A quick search found our premier sending out emails celebrating the birth of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji (the founder of the Sikh reli-gion), Diwali (the Festival of Lights), Remembrance Day, We Day all in the last 30 days.

On Monday, the B.C. government sent me emails informing me this was “Bullying Awareness Week,” “Multiculturalism Week,” “International Education Week,”

Ironically nothing on Movember. Maybe Christy's “kids in short pants,” can't grow moustaches yet.

Oh well I'm sure they'll send out emails reminding B.C. people that our Premier is on the job cele-brating Christmas, Boxing Day and even Groundhog Day. I think she must has one of those calendars that lists something to celebrate every day of the year from grandparents to pets to flags.

Guaranteed the moment the federal government makes an announcement, every organization against that decision will send out emails detailing why the decision is a death knell for Canada and Canadians.

I get emails with tips on everything from win-ter driving to storing Halloween candy to buy-ing Christmas presents for people you don't like. (which begs the question “Why buy a present for someone you don't like?”)

That said, today I got one extolling the virtues of Canada's first chain of dog spas. “We adore our dogs and want to give them the best care,” claimed the email. That's why dog spas are opening up across Canada. I looked at my dog laying on her own chair with a great view out the

front window while I was filling her water dish and food bowl and thought “she already lives in a dog spa.”

There are emails from every person in the world who knows the secret to success. They'll share it with me if I'm willing to drive to Vancouver, fork over a couple of hundred dollars and sit through their presentation. Or per-haps send away for their video or buy their book. I think I figured out what the secret to their success is.

I get emails warning me of everything from impend-ing environmental disas-ters, a coming plague, mas-sive unemployment, sell-ing our water, tainted food and Y2K (I guess I should empty that junk folder).

Finally I'm still getting emails from people on the other side of the world kindly offering millions of dollars simply in exchange for my account informa-tion and other details. Unfortunately when I reply and ask them to send a $10,000 cheque up front I never hear from them again.

Too bad, with that amount of money I could hire someone to go through my emails.

In a recent Maclean’s magazine article titled “Cash Register Charity Holdup,” I see the same things happen-ing locally. The trend of being asked to give money at the checkout uses techniques of public humiliation, shame and catching people off guard and are hardly worthy methods of trying to illicit new charity dol-lars.

One is reminded of the very invasive trend of using unsolicited telephone calls to request donations for charities.

Another trend to soliciting funds that I have seen develop-ing recently is the hiring of an individual to raise money - their salary or contract is evaluated by how much money they raise. Apparently many “qualified” fundraisers are now on the job across Canada! And yet they only exist to serve the

community through volunteer-ism in time and effort and have had so many notable, positive impacts.

I am concerned that some worthy organizations which choose not to spend huge amounts of money on solicita-tion like the Salvation Army and community groups such as Food Banks, Shelters, Youth Support endeavors, etc., are being negatively affected by the identified trends in fundrais-ing used by large, well-funded regional, provincial or national organizations.

These charities are becom-ing overshadowed in the evolv-ing competitive, in-your-face world of chasing charitable dollars.

Increasing charitable dona-tions in Canada is a worthy goal but increasing donations to groups that have some retailers

onside, and that have money to spend on solicitation may not be the answer - perhaps donations from individuals will simply be redistributed because there are personal limitations on the amount each has to give?

What new sources of fund-ing should be explored? How much thought and effort has been given to going back to a collective approach to seeking donations? (The United Way struggles to stay alive because various large organizations like Cancer and Heart and Stroke have pulled out to raise more money on their own.)

The world of charitable donations has unfortunately become quite competitive and one wonders who is truly bene-fitting?

Kudos to the Phoenix Players for a very professional evening of one act plays and theatre sports.

The choice of scripts offered a variety of themes and acting opportunities for this fine cast; all were amus-ing and thought provoking.

A few tears shed from sadness and many from laughter.

I wish there could be an encore performance se we could spread the word on an opportunity not to be missed,

Thanks too to the Anglican Church for a rich collection of goodies served at intermis-

sion, and congratulations on your refurbished community hall.

It is good to know Trail has another stage and hall space available for a wide range of activities.

The tsunami metaphor is more and more often used in commentaries about the effect of aging

on healthcare spending in Canada. It musters up images of devastation and irresistible strength submersing any levees the system might try to mount to oppose it. It is a powerful but misleading metaphor.

There is a worrying rise in healthcare spending in Canada, but it doesn’t have much to do with population aging.

The yearly increases in total healthcare spending in Canada – approximately $10 billion per year nowadays – does not result from aging per se, but the costs of treatment, including diag-nostic tests, drugs and doc-tors, for all patients, young and old. It’s not that we have too many seniors who will break the bank, but how those sen-iors, and others, are treated in the health system that affects the bottom line.

Put another way, aging on its own adds around $2 billion to the annual healthcare bill while changes in the cost of treatment per average patient adds $8 billion.

How is it possible? To answer, let’s take a closer look

at the age profile of healthcare spending: if age is on the hori-zontal axis and average spend-ing per individual of a given age on the vertical axis, the profile resembles a valley. In other words, it costs a lot to be born, because it happens most often in a hospital; then, each year of age between one and 50 does not cost the health system much on average (the profile is flat and low) – but costs start picking up again at age 50 and the slope becomes steeper with age until plateauing around 80.

Contemplating such an age profile (drawn to illustrate a single year, say 2013), one might conclude that aging will increase spending dramatically. However, looking at two such annual profiles (one for 1993 and one for 2013), it is easy to see that the really strik-ing change has been at the ground level: we spend much more today on anyone at any age than 20 years ago, and this is what really drives our health-care costs.

This increase in costs for patient care has not been sud-den, but has taken place over several decades and will likely continue apace. Costs have been driven by current invest-

ments in research and develop-ment (in industry and academia alike), insurance coverage for expensive, cutting edge treat-ments – whether truly benefi-cial or not – and our demand for longer and better quality lives.

We need to build our health system on evidence; we need to know how many years of life and how much quality of life we buy through the increased vol-ume of services and the flow of new technologies in the health-care system.

We also need to pay for servi-ces and innovation on the basis of what they add to quality and quantity of life (outcome-based payments). Instead we continue paying for technology on the basis of how much it costs to develop, not how much it deliv-ers.

It’s time we stop throwing ever more money after the latest and greatest technolo-gies in health services without knowing if we are getting a return on our investment. Our healthcare system suffers in the process.

Smoke Eater fan pitches in for fundraiserB Y J I M B A I L E Y

Times Sports EditorThe Trail Smoke

Eaters are always look-ing for viable fund-raising vehicles to help drive up the bot-tom line, but a couple recent initiatives have been both pleasant and welcome surprises to the Smoke Eater faith-ful.

With a suggestion from long-time fan and Smokie supporter Angelo Anselmo, the team took inspiration from the hardcore frenzied European fans that wave the scarves frantically at soccer matches, and ordered their own version from a manufacturer in England - a custom-designed Smoke Eater scarf to help motivate the masses.

While the Team scarf is ubiquitous in European soccer sta-diums, Anselmo first noticed it at a Western Hockey League game.

“I went to a game, the Blazers in Kamloops and I thought well I’ll talk to someone, because I’m serious about this and I thought they could sell,” said Anselmo.

And indeed they did.Thanks to the

Annable resident’s efforts, the original order of 12-dozen scarves promptly sold out and a fresh batch is on the way.

“If I had any idea it would work like that, I would have probably

ordered the next batch earlier,” said Smoke Eater president Tom Gawryletz. “Angelo came to me and want-ed to go through the crowd, and he sold pretty much every-thing we had left.”

Since the sell out, Anselmo is already getting a jump on the next order, canvassing the crowd and local businesses, and, as of Saturday, had already close to 50 scarves spoken for in the upcoming shipment.

“We try to do a little bit extra to help the team,” said Anselmo who along with friend

Ron Maitland are avid supporters and believe the scarves will make great Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers.

“I spent $80 on them already, and I still need more,” said Maitland.

While the initiative may not make mil-lions, seeing local fans take ownership of a fundraising campaign like the Smoke Eater scarf sales is a positive and valued contribu-tion to the club.

“He went around the rink and that was his donation to the hockey club, and he did a good job,” said

Gawryletz. “It’s a fund-raiser and anything to make a buck helps.”

In addition, the Smoke Eaters fourth annual Steak and Lobster Ice Breaker dinner gets served up on Saturday at the Trail Memorial Centre in the Cominco Gym.

The dinner also invites patrons to take part in the $1,000 reverse draw, as well as silent and live auc-tions, and enjoy live music courtesy of Randy Emery and EmeRson.

It is one of the big-gest fundraisers for the Smoke Eaters and, so

far, ticket sales have exceeded expectations.

“It looks like we’ll probably be close to sold out,” said Gawryletz. “We thought if we hit 200 we’d be happy with everything that’s going on this month, so we’re pretty happy. But I don’t think we’ll turn anybody away, don’t get me wrong.”

Tickets are $50 sin-gle and $90 per couple and can be purchased at Re/Max in Trail or from any Smoke Eater board member, or at the Smokie game Friday night, when Trail hosts the Vernon Vipers at 7:30 p.m.

B Y T I M E S C O N T R I B U T O RIt was a night of close calls,

and nail-biting matches as every game came down to the last rock. For the first time this year in the Kootenay Savings Super League, all four games went the full 10 ends.

Team Albo was taking on Team Brost Autoworx and after early lead changes, skip Desiree Borsato took advan-tage of some Albo misses for steals in the middle ends for a 8-3 lead. Skip Darrin Albo righted his ship with a three in the eighth and a steal in the ninth to be one down coming home without the hammer, but Brost third

Brittany Palmer welded con-secutive shots on the button to leave Albo no chance to complete the comeback and an 8-7 Brost Autoworx win.

Maglio Mens started quick against Team Fines, and kept a slight lead throughout the game, leading to Maglio Mens running Fines out of rocks in the 10th and a 9-7 win.

T e a m Ferguson, facing Maglio Ladies, also got out of the gate quick, scoring a three

in the first, and stealing the second. Skip Heather Nichol made some perfect come around draws for steals in the middle ends to take a 7-6 lead after nine, but in the 10th her last rock slid agonizingly to

the back of the four foot, leav-ing skip Rob Ferguson room to draw for his two and a nail biting 8-7 Ferguson win.

In another closely fought match, Rellish Transport got the best of Team Nichol, 7-5.

B Y J I M B A I L E YTimes Sports editor

Quinnipiac University Bobcats forwards Connor and Kellen Jones are poised to make history when they take on the Princeton Tigers this weekend.

With just a single point from Kellen, the Montrose twins will be the only brothers to each score 100 points in their Div. 1 NCAA University’s history.

Connor reached the milestone in a three-point performance against Colgate earlier this month, while Kellen, who is second in scoring for the Bobcats with 4-10-14, is just one point shy of the century mark with 39 goals and 60 assists over his four-year NCAA career.

Connor meanwhile is right behind Kellen in scoring this season with 5-8-13, and a career 39-65-104 with the Cats.

The two-time RBC Cup winners with the Vernon Vipers led Quinnipiac to the NCAA championship final in April, and have paced the team to a 11-1-1 start to the season, good enough for a fourth place ranking in the nation.

The twins are assist-ant captains, in their sen-ior year at the Hamden, Conn. school, and regard-less of what will be an exceptional accomplish-ment, they routinely shy away from the spotlight.

“It’s not that we don’t like the attention,” Connor told the New Haven Register last week. “I want people to know we’re about the team. It’s a nice milestone. But we work hard to win, not to score 100 points.”

Added Kellen, “It’ll be an honor, but I want team success first. Everyone will notice at some point. There’s no reason to advertise it.”

Four years ago the twins recorded their first point in their first game, both assisting on a goal against Ohio State. In their third year they led Quinnipiac to its first ever appearance in the Frozen Four. Their primary motive this year is to help the Bobcats to another Frozen Four berth and to finish what they started last season – to win a national championship.

This weekend the Jones’ have an opportunity to create their own exclusive club. In spite of themselves, fans and supporters revel in such accomplishments, and history-in-the-making is a good reason for everyone to take notice.

“They have this intangible about them,” Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold told the Register. “They make other people around them better. They’re all about winning. It’s hard to find those guys who just know how to win.”

The Bobcats play Princeton in a home-and-home Friday and Saturday.

DETROIT - The Detroit Red Wings

have taken a big hit on their blue line. Detroit

defenceman Danny DeKeyser is expected to

be out for at least three to four weeks with a separated left shoul-der. The team doesn’t expect him to need surgery. The former Trail Smoke Eater was hurt early in Tuesday night’s 2-0 loss to the Nashville Predators when he checked into the boards by forward Patric Hornqvist. DeKeyser ranks among rookie leaders with

seven assists and has scored two goals.

The Red Wings will host Carolina on Thursday night, hoping to snap a pair of skids. Detroit has gone eight games with-out a win at home, its longest drought since 1991. The Red Wings haven’t won a game in seven games, their longest stretch since 2002.

DeKeyser sidelined with separated shoulder

Leisure

Dear Annie: Over the past 10 years, I have noticed that my sister’s memory has become very confused. She often has false memories, believing something that hap-pened to a friend or celebrity actually hap-pened to her. She also says hurtful things and doesn’t remember say-ing them. My husband and I decided it was best just to let it go, as she gets upset quite easily.

Recently, she said something that real-ly hurt my feelings, and I decided to talk to her about it and clear the air. However, when I mentioned it, she became terribly agitated and insisted she would never say any such thing. She actually got her family involved, and they agreed that I was imagining things.

I love my sister and don’t want to upset her, but this really bothers me. She has mentioned that her friends joke

about her memory, and she doesn’t like it. But I’m surprised that her children and husband are not aware of the problem. Should I just let it go? -- Massachusetts

Dear Massachusetts: We suspect her hus-band and children are well aware of the prob-lem, but have chosen not to deal with it. Please encourage your sister to talk to her doctor. Say that you are worried about her. Memory problems are common, but if she is substituting others’ experiences for her own, it could be more serious.

Ask if she is sched-uled for a regular

checkup and see wheth-er you can accompany her, alerting the doc-tor if she neglects to do so. Also mention your concerns to her husband and children. Your sister may be too embarrassed to address this, so they need to be more proactive.

Dear Annie: A year ago, my husband, who is very financially savvy, set up an investment account for his 2-year-old niece. Because she didn’t need any more toys and the family lives quite a distance from us, we thought this would be a nice way for us to recognize birthdays, holidays and special events. Our plan was to make small investments into this account for her in the years to come.

Soon after the par-ents received the infor-mation on the account, they cashed it out and reinvested it in a dif-ferent type of account. They recently offered to share the details with us so we could

invest for their daugh-ter.

Annie, what would have been a fun way for us to honor her is no longer of interest to us. We will of course still send gifts to the child, but we feel the parents’ action was extremely tacky. What do you think? -- Boston Aunt

Dear Boston: We understand why you have lost your enthusi-asm, and we agree that the parents should have been grateful and left things alone. But it might assuage your annoyance to look at it another way: If you had purchased the child an outfit and the parents had exchanged it for something they pre-ferred, would you be as upset? Probably not. The account was a gift, meaning she could do with it what she wished. It was still a thoughtful present from you and undoubtedly appreci-ated. If the goal is to provide the niece with a college fund, it really doesn’t matter which

account receives the funds. Your contribu-tion is the same.

Dear Annie: Thank you for printing the letter from “Finally at Peace,” who has endured three of her five children cutting off contact with her. It gives my husband and

me hope and comfort. We are experiencing rejection from our oldest daughter, who has cut off contact except to send birth announcements of her children.

We will be grandpar-ents again because of our youngest daughter,

who makes up for, over and above, what we are living without. But I am comforted from your writer’s sage advice on coming to peace with the situation and know-ing that other factors helped shape our older girl. -- Grateful for What We Have

For Friday, Nov. 22, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) For the next month, you want a change of scenery. Grab every chance to learn something new so you can expand your horizons. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An intense month awaits you. Even casual relation-ships will be intense. It’s time to clear up debt and define details about shared property. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Get more sleep in the next month because the Sun is opposite your sign, and the Sun is your source of ener-gy. Your focus will be on partners and close friends. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Act on your urge to get better organized in the next four weeks because this is what you want. Give yourself the right materials to do a good job.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’re in the mood to play! Parties, the theater, movies, sports, playful times with children and romantic escapades are on the menu for the next six weeks. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Home, family and your domestic scene will be your focus for the next month. Discussions with a parent could be significant. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Fasten your seatbelts, because it’s a busy month ahead. Short trips, errands, discussions with relatives plus increased reading and writing will pack your schedule. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might identify with your bank account or your possessions in the next month. But what’s really happening is that you’re seeking to define your value system.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) In the next month, the Sun in your sign gives you a chance to recharge your bat-teries for the rest of year. It’s all about you. Don’t hesitate to put yourself first because that’s how it should be. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Keep a low profile in the next month while you strat-egize what you want your new year (birthday to birth-

day) to be all about. Any ideas? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) The next four to six weeks are popular for you! Accept all invitations. Enjoy schmoozing with oth-ers. Share your hopes and dreams for the future to see what others say. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is the only time all year when the Sun seems

to shine a flattering light on you. That’s why others are going to be impressed with you and ask you to take on extra responsibilities. YOU BORN TODAY You need the freedom to be who you are and go where you want. You’re active and dynamic, and surprisingly indifferent to the opinions of others. (Part of being free.) You are tireless in your pur-suit of a life that stimu-lates you. You don’t rest on

your laurels. You work hard to constantly prove your-self. This year an important decision will arise. Choose wisely. Birthdate of: Scarlett Johansson, actress; George Eliot, author; Terry Gilliam, screenwriter/actor. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

In my previous article I may of guilted you into vowing to repair

your vehicle so your check engine light is not on. Remember this light is on when your vehicle is typically not at its best, environment-ally speaking.

One very c o m m o n fault dis-cussed was a malfunc-tioning cata-lytic convert-er. The cata-lytic converter, located in your exhaust sys-tem, cleans up the inefficiencies of the internal combustion engine.

As the catalytic converter relies on precious metals like platinum, palladium, rhodium and cesium to act as catalysts in the chemical process of converting the pol-lutants; unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrous oxides into carbon dioxide, water, nitro-gen and oxygen it may be obvious that these units are expensive. Your vehicle may have more than one of these as well.

True to a chemical reaction involving a catalyst, the cata-lyst materials (in this case precious metals) are not consumed. Essentially then a cata-lytic converter can last

indefinitely provided it is cared for prop-erly. The outside of a converter is stain-less steel and is rela-tively immune to cor-rosion. In many cases the converter will be

shielded with more stain-less steel to help hold the heat in. The inside is typ-ically a honey-comb ceramic that provides a huge sur-face area for the exhaust to travel

through. The honey-comb is coated (or washed) in precious metals.

Any outside dam-age that distorts the inner wall of the con-verter can crack the honeycomb substrate. Once broken the path through the honey-comb can become blocked and eventually reduce or totally plug the exhaust system. A hard to ignore extreme lack of power will be the symptom that forces a repair.

The more common catalytic converter failure is the result of poor maintenance and repair practices. If your vehicle ever developed a problem where the check engine light was flashing and you continued driving for some time like that you likely will end up having more than one thing to fix. A flash-

ing check engine light is generally the result of misfire. Misfire is when the spark plug does not ignite the air fuel mixture in one or more cylinders. Along with reducing your engine’s power the fuel that is not ignited in the cylinder to make power flows into the catalytic converter. The catalytic convert-er, being a furnace of sorts will burn that extra fuel but may, in the process, become too hot. Too hot means the honeycomb

substrate will start to melt. Again, melted substrate reduces exhaust gas flow and messes up the surface area of the precious metals. The result is reduced catalytic func-tion.

The previous scen-arios are both readily apparent to the driver of a vehicle. If some-thing hits the under-side of your vehicle make sure you have it inspected. If you have the proper insurance a “rock on road” dam-aged converter can be

claimed and repaired. If your check engine light is flashing stop driving as soon as it is safe to do so.

Another scenario is having to replace your converter due to more subtle neglected repairs and mainten-ance. If your check engine light is on, your vehicle is operating at a less than optimum state. In many cases the life of your cata-lytic converter will be affected by this.

At the shop these vehicles come in with

a check light on. The light may be on because of a faulty oxygen sensor or mass air flow sensor. With these ongoing faults the state of the cata-lytic converter can-not be tested by the onboard diagnostic system. The owner decides it is time to fig-ure out what has been keeping that check engine light on for the last six months. The technician replaces the bad oxygen sensor and gives the vehicle back to the customer.

Not more than a few days later the vehicle is back and the customer is unhappy. The check engine light is back on again.

Guess what? The new oxygen sensor now allowed the diag-nostic system to test the catalytic converter that it had to neglect for the past six months. The second bill is big-ger than the first but the second could have been totally eliminated by fixing that check engine light as soon as it came on.

What caused the catalytic converter failure?
