Disbanding a reimburse-ment program and signing a recreation deal has proven popular among Beaver Valley residents who continue to dive into shared facilities in Trail.

Though there are no statis-tical reports to go off of one month into the new service agreement, Trisha Davidson of Trail Parks and Recreation said that simplifying the process has been well received.

“What I can tell you is the Beaver Valley residents that I have personally spoken with are very happy to be able to use the facilities and to see their administrative processes much easier to deal with,” Davidson noted.

“I can also say that the building is very busy – private lessons have had a huge uptake for the month of October and most swimming lessons are full until December.”

The one-year deal sees Beaver Valley contribute $125,000 for the term which will allow their residents to use Trail Parks and Recreation facilities and participate in its services and programs at the Trail resident fee under the Trail Resident Program (TRP).

“Beaver Valley will consider a longer term agreement when the proposed boundary expan-sion has been concluded, as this could impact our ability to pay for this and other services as well,” explained Area A direc-tor Ali Grieve.

Beaver Valley Recreation withdrew from City of Trail recreation at the end of 2013 to launch its own payment system, following a reimburse-ment model.

“In the beginning there were calls of concerns,” recalled Mark Daines, manager of facilities and recreation at the regional district. “But after about the first month, once it started to roll out and people saw how well we were deal-ing with it, my phone stopped ringing.”

SILVER CITY DAYS

It's out with the old and in with the new as Trail coun-cil makes way for a revitalized Silver City Days.

Ceremony signals start of bridge projectB Y S H E R I R E G N I E R

Times Staff“It's really a bridge across our community.”Those promising words came from Trail Mayor

Mike Martin during Wednesday's pipe/pedestrian bridge ground breaking ceremony.

“And for those of you that have history of the Lower Columbia region, you know what I am talk-ing about. It's really going to be something that is a landmark representing what we can accomplish by working together.”

The city hosted the event in Rotary Park with local officials and regional partners on hand, as well as the bridge designer and constructor.

“We could not have done this without the com-mitment and resolve of our partners...when we had some very dark days in August and September,” he added. “Quite honestly we all thought we had lost it and would be back at the drawing board after four years getting to this point.”

Rossland Mayor Kathy Moore agreed, saying trust, collaboration and cooperation were essential in bringing the regional project to fruition.

“Many times I didn’t think we'd be standing here, at least not this year,”she said. “It's because we worked together as a group and because we trusted each other and relied on each other's word that we are here today.”

Moore reminded the crowd of about 50, that she, Martin and Warfield Mayor Ted Pahl are three new mayors.

“We are setting the tone for the region because we believe collaborating and trusting each other will benefit us far more than some of the past ani-mosity where you put your own community first and forget the rest,” she added.

“We are trying to break that pattern because we know working together will do far more for our region..if all of our areas bind together...because being one voice, we will be far more successful.”

Coun. Diane Langman stood in for Pahl, acknowledging regional partnerships.

“We all spoke of wanting to foster regional col-laboration when we were elected,” she said. “And this is a shining example of what it can look like when we all work together.”

B Y S H E R I R E G N I E RTimes Staff

A woman is facing almost seven years in jail after attempting to smuggle 35 kilograms of cocaine over the Waneta border crossing in Trail.

Caitlin Christine Gladdish, 27, of Kelowna, was handed the prison sen-tence Tuesday in Kelowna Provincial Court after a lengthy investigation by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA).

Judge James Threlfall said a longer term would have been appropriate, but noted Gladdish plead guilty, showed genuine remorse, had no previous crim-inal record and is an excellent prospect for rehabilitation.

But Threlfall also said Gladdish knew her car had been modified with a secret compartment and had already used the

vehicle to cross the U.S. border five times.

Earlier this year the CBSA released information on the July 2014 offence, which it deemed the single largest cocaine bust in the Kootenays

Gladdish was charged with impor-tation of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of traffick-ing seven months after the cocaine was discovered during a routine vehicle inspection at the Waneta border.

She was not previously known to officers.

"During the primary inspection, the officer conducted routine checks in the vehicle and noticed irregularities when inspecting the traveller's trunk," CBSA area chief, Lorne Black, said in February.

"The narcotics were concealed in an

after-market compartment, a void cre-ated below the trunk area."

Street value of the drugs is estimated to be about $2 million.

Last year, border guards seized nearly 300 kilograms of cocaine in British Columbia alone, according to CBSA superintendent Brad Britton.

"The CBSA is committed in contra-band detection and interdiction and have a variety of ways to uncover con-cealment methods," he said following Gladdish's arrest.

"Although the criminal element is always coming up with new conceal-ment methods, the CBSA is always look-ing at ways to improve its efforts when it comes to enhancing our partnerships, intelligence gathering, training, detec-tion tools and equipment."

FROM PAGE 1The rec partners — Fruitvale,

Montrose and Area A — wanted to find out what the actual cost was and the City of Trail was unable to provide this information.

“What we found was that we were only subsiding to an amount of about $50,000,” said Daines, comparing the figure to the approximate $210,000 previously paid toward regional rec-reation.

“That was an eye opener for us

because we really didn’t know how much of that was actually getting used for people who needed the subsidy for Trail programs and the truth is in the numbers.”

Trail parks and rec counts users through program registration, TRP cards issued and memberships. There is no residential information kept on those paying drop-in – just what rate (TRP or non-TRP) is paid. Statistics are tallied quarterly (so far there are nearly 570 Beaver Valley people hold-

ing TRP cards) and Davidson said a detailed report on the fall session will be complied in early January.

The hope is that convenience may encourage more Beaver Valley resi-dents to jump back in the water.

“Is it a better deal for taxpayers?” asked Daines. “I think the one thing was a matter of convenience —and not having to submit receipts is one thing — but it certainly will show a better picture of usage and how much it actually costs.”

This is the fifth and final profile of can-didates running to represent the South Okanagan-West Kootenay in the upcoming federal election

B Y E M A N U E L S E Q U E I R ABlack Press

Brian Gray has thrown his hat into mix for the 2015 federal election in the South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding out of concern for his country.

“I was concerned with the fact that our country’s prime min-ister was supporting a facist Nazi regime in the Ukraine,” said Gray.

“He is giving over $600 million of our tax dollars to support them. A lot of people say ‘Oh that can’t be the case’ well it is.”

And Gray said more people are starting to understand.

“I couldn’t accept the fact that our country was supporting a Nazi regime in the Ukraine. The unbelievable financial situation our globe is in too,” added Gray. “I have presented policies that can address those concerns and get us out of this mess.”

Before putting his name forward, Gray was enjoying retirement. He loves garden-ing, playing golf and barbecuing.

“Other than that I don’t do a heck of a lot,” he laughed.

Gray, 66, was born and raised in Vancouver and has spent the last 14 years in the Okanagan, including 11 in Penticton.

His work experience ranges from work-ing in the forest industry, including pull-ing lumber off the green chain at Gorman Brothers Lumber Ltd. in Westbank back

when “it was just held together with bail-ing wire and chewing gum.”

“Pulling lumber off a green chain in the middle of winter with no canopy on it and it’s snowing at 2 a.m. — it could test your mettle,” he said.

For 20 years he worked for TBC Teletheatre, a betting outlet for horse racing. He did that in Kamloops and helped set up operations in Salmon Arm, Victoria, Duncan, Nanaimo and Kelowna.

“I was looking forward to this summer to try to enjoy my retired life on the lim-ited income I have,” said Gray. “This elec-tion has kind of intervened.”

Gray’s election platform is based on research from the Committee for Republic of Canada, which he is a member of, and American political economist Lyndon LaRouche. One of the topics in Gray’s platform is restoring the pillars of banking regulations.

In his brochure, it states that Canada’s banks functioned within the framework of regulations known as the “4 Pillars” (aka: Canada’s Glass-Steagall) which served to separate commercial, investment, trusts and insurance banking transactions.

“The policies I’m putting forward have certainly found their impetus from my affiliation with CRC and the LaRouche organization, but they are just common sense,” he said.

“I’m not the only person talking about that. Other political organizations are doing that.”

Gray is aware of his chances to win a seat in the riding.

“To be frank, I know there’s virtually no way I’m ever going to win this thing,” he said. “I’m campaigning to win. I just want to get these policies in the political debate.

Aside from midway attractions such as the Kiddie Merry Go Round, the Go Gator Coaster and the Space Train, anoth-er visual change will be apparent when the new carnival workers arrive in town.

“The (Shooting Star) employees stay at hotels, they won’t stay in trail-ers on site,” mentioned the councillor, who also chairs the Silver City Days Committee (SCDC). “They don’t need use of our facil-ities and they won’t have

as many big trucks.”Council members

awarded the company a three-year contract, which involves revenue sharing based on gross receipts realized during the event, clarified Chief Administrative Officer, David Perehudoff.

He said the decision was based on a direct interview process.

“Although both pro-posals were quite similar in terms of compensation to the city,” Perehudoff added. “The proposal received from Shooting Star Amusements was slightly more favourable from a financial perspec-tive.”

Reference checks to the City of Nanaimo and City of Rutland were made prior to the recom-

mendation, Perehudoff confirmed, noting both municipalities were happy with Shooting Star Amusements and the company’s excellent selec-tion of amenities for all ages.

Planning for the annu-al celebrations, slated for May 4 to May 8, is well underway by the com-mittee and Keith Smyth, SCDC operations man-ager.

“One of the commit-tee’s goals is to bring change to Silver City Days through new ideas, activities and events,” says Smyth. “Entering into a contract with Shooting Star Amusements aligns with our vision as we want our community to enjoy other options and experi-ences.”

B Y B I L L M E T C A L F ENelson Star

Hannah DeBoer-Smith, 22, who lives in Nelson and grew up here, was looking for a place to rent last month, so she put an ad on on Kijiji and ilovenelson.com. In response she got an email from a person

identifying herself as Bridget Gardner, tell-ing Deboer-Smith she had the perfect place for her, a three-bed-room house in Nelson for $550 per month.

“She said she was out of the country,” DeBoer-Smith says, “and they really need-ed someone to look

after their house. They sent me an appli-cation form, and I said I wanted more infor-mation, but they kept pushing the applica-tion form. They want-ed a $200 security deposit.

“I asked them if I could get pictures. I wanted to see if it was

legit because I was hesitant.”

She asked if she could book an appointment to see the house and was told they were in the U.S. working for the Christian Followers Crusade, that she would have to take it sight unseen, and that

was why the price was so cheap. They sent her the Rosemont address of the house.

“So I Googled the house address and it came up on the RHC Realty website,” DeBoer-Smith said. “The house was for sale. The scammers had taken the picture off that website. My family knows the real-tor, Glen Darough, so I contacted him.

DeBoer-Smith then posted a scam alert on ilovenelson and reported the matter to the police.

Darough phoned his client, the owner of the house, Melissa Duarte, to warn her.

“We got a call from our realtor,” says Duarte, “who said, ‘just to let you know, they stole photos of your house off my website and listed it as a rental.’ It makes me really uncomfortable,

being involved in a scam. I credit Hannah for being so incred-ible.”

The Star then sent an email to Bridget Gardner, from a repor-ter’s private email address.

The house Gardner then tried to rent us is the same house — Duarte’s house. She wanted the security deposit and the first month’s rent — a total of $750.

The Star eventually gave up on this email exchange because it’s not known where Gardner is or if she even exists, so there was no likelihood of a major sting operation or an award for inves-tigative journalism, or even justice.

Chris O’Gorman of South Slocan encoun-tered the same scam. He rents out a base-ment suite and recent-ly found new tenants,

but before they moved in, he got a surprising phone call.

“Hi, this is Charlene, I’m the one who’s moving into your apartment.”

The problem was, O’Gorman’s new ten-ant wasn’t named Charlene. And it wasn’t Tom either.

A few days later: “Hi, this is Tom, you’ve been emailing with my girlfriend. I’m the guy moving into your place.”

O’Gorman doesn’t know whether Charlene or Tom paid the scammer any money.

When DeBoer-Smith reported her scam to the Nelson Police Department, she spoke with dis-patcher Terry Kidd, who gave her some oft-heard but still valuable advice: “If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.”

Online rental scam uncovered in Nelson

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SLILLOOET, B.C. - A

man suspected in a vio-lent assault at a First Nation band office in the British Columbia Interior is dead and 10 others are hurt after an attack that report-edly involved a ham-mer.

RCMP said they were called just before 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to a report of a man with a weapon at the Bridge River Band Office near Lillooet.

When police arrived they found the suspect already restrained.

“RCMP members arrested the male but were unable to trans-port him as he became unconscious and unresponsive,” police said in a news release.

The officers start-

ed CPR, but resusci-tation efforts were unsuccessful and the man was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Michaela Swan with the Interior Health Authority said that it is caring for two patients in critical condition, another two in ser-ious condition and six others with non-life threatening injuries.

The injured people have been taken to hospitals around the region.

Coroner Barb McLintock confirmed one man died in the incident but couldn’t provide further details. The B.C. Coroners Service was sending a team to investigate, she added.

An emergency

worker who didn’t want to be named said the man apparently attacked one person with the hammer, and when others in the office went to help they were also beaten.

Because the man died while in police cus-tody, the Independent Investigations Office is now involved with the case.

The office said it was notified of the incident about 11:30 a.m. and its investigators were slated to arrive later Wednesday.

Bridge River Indian Band Chief Susan James issued a state-ment, saying her immediate concern was to ensure that the families involved in the tragedy were being helped.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SCHETWYND, B.C. - What was to

be a routine maintenance shutdown for the Chetwynd Mechanical Pulp Mill in northeastern B.C. will now be a longer closure because of poor market conditions.

The mill had only reopened in the spring with a $50-million upgrade, after Paper Excellence Canada pur-chased the facility in 2014.

In a news release, Paper Excellence says the decision to extend the shutdown will give the

company the opportunity to make operational improvements on the mill.

Deputy CEO Pedro Chang says the company is committed to the mill, its employees and the entire Chetwynd community and hopes the closure and improvements will lead to the operation’s long-term success.

The company plans to return to production in January 2016.

The mill was originally shut down for maintenance Sept. 14.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SHALIFAX - A Canadian

soldier says he’s frustrat-ed by Ottawa’s persistent efforts to block him and other military personnel from being compensated for home sale losses suffered during transfers around the country.

“We’ve followed the rules, we’ve identified the problems, we’ve committed to work to come up with a resolution ... but every time they’re more than willing to spend taxpayers’ dollars to take us back to court and fight,” said Maj. Marcus Brauer in Halifax Wednesday.

Attorneys for the gov-ernment were in Federal Court in Halifax to argue for a stay of a proposed class action attempted by the forces members.

Brauer, an Afghan war veteran and father of five, says he’s still coping with the loss of $73,000 when he had to sell a home in Bon Accord, Alta., during a downturn in the commun-ity’s economy.

He said he still hasn’t been compensated, despite a Federal Court judicial review decision last year that the Treasury Board refusal was “unreasonable” and “not justified,” and should be reconsidered.

The board has since reviewed its decision and confirmed it won’t provide more than $15,000 of the original $88,000 loss.

Brauer is joining a pro-posed class action launched by master warrant officer Neil Dodsworth, which was the focus of Wednesday’s hearing.

Dodsworth, also an Afghan war veteran, wasn’t in court.

However, his lawyers say he lost more than $72,000 on a home sale after a transfer from Alberta to Kingston, Ont., and has only received $15,000 in compensation.

The existing policy allows for 100 per cent compen-sation when housing sales occur in “depressed” mar-kets, and there’s a Canadian Forces directive that defines these markets as commun-ities where prices fall more than 20 per cent.

Federal lawyer Angela Green argued Wednesday for a motion to strike the action down, saying the policy is clear and there were no false statements made to personnel.

“There’s no misrepresen-tation ... there’s a policy they (the military personnel) say should be changed or more generous or altered,” she told Federal Court judge Martine St-Louis.

The federal lawyer said that if personnel want to appeal a ruling by Treasury Board, they can go to the court and ask for a review, one by one.

She declined further comment outside of court.

However, lawyers for the military members say there was a clear policy that told personnel they could get full compensation, and Treasury Board ignored it.

Daniel Watt, the co-counsel for the plaintiffs, said his clients relied on the directive describing a “depressed” market, but Treasury Board refused to honour the policy.

“The Canadian Forces command said to its mem-bers that this policy is avail-able and will protect you in these devastating circum-stances. In fact, that’s not true,” he said.

Brauer, who has been in the military for 26 years, said as the legal battles continue, he and other Canadian Forces personnel are struggling financially.

“(I’m) certainly disillu-sioned,” he said.

“It needs to be corrected and it should have been corrected without hav-ing to come to the Federal Court.”

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SSAGUENAY, Que. - The federal government has ordered

a halt to Montreal’s controversial plan to dump eight billion litres of raw sewage into the St. Lawrence River until further scientific analysis can be done.

Infrastructure Minister Denis Lebel made the announce-ment on behalf of the environment minister today in Saguenay, Que.

He says Leona Aglukkaq has issued an interim order under the Fisheries Act to put the project on hold.

Montreal had planned to dump the untreated wastewater into the river between Oct. 18 and 25.

The city is closing an interceptor - a large sewer used to feed wastewater to treatment plants - to do maintenance work and relocate a snow chute located underneath the Bonaventure Expressway, which the city is converting into an urban boulevard.

Quebec’s Environment Department has already signed off on the plan but in recent weeks, the plan had become fodder in the federal election campaign.

Lebel says Aglukkaq has decided an “independent scien-tific review by a third party” is the best way to ensure the St. Lawrence River isn’t subject to irreparable environmental harm.

Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre and the provincial govern-ment have maintained that, despite the optics, the contro-versial plan remains the best option available in terms of time and cost.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STISDALE, Sask. - A town in northern Saskatchewan

will no longer use the slogan “Land of Rape and Honey.”Town council has voted to rebrand the community of

Tisdale by next June.Tisdale has used the slogan for nearly 60 years, but a

survey found a majority of the 3,200 residents wanted to drop the catchphrase.

Rape refers to rapeseed, a bright-yellow plant that was a precursor to modern canola and was a key crop in the area. But some were concerned the name offended people who thought it meant sexual assault.

Sean Wallace, Tisdale’s economic development dir-ector, says the production of rapeseed and honey have declined in the area.

“It’s very odd to have a brand be around that long and we also want something that’s going to exemplify ... strengths that we have here in Tisdale today,” Wallace said Wednesday.

“The rapeseed crop is hardly grown any more.”Wallace said the town’s economic development com-

mittee will decide how best to consult with residents on a new slogan.

“The slogan has been here for 60 years and it’s near and dear to people’s hearts here, but 20 per cent more of the population saw a need for change.

“It’s my hope that everyone will get behind the change and get involved and be a part of the process.”

The town, about 210 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, established the slogan in 1958.

OPINION

Canada’s direction now in the hands of votersThe 11-week elec-

tion marathon is almost at the fin-ish line.

And while most mara-thons leave the partici-pants exhausted, this one has hopefully shown Canadians still have plenty of steam left when it comes to the direction of our country.

If the advance polls proved anything, it’s that many Canadians are engaged in this election and want to participate.

With a tip of the hat to the CBC’s Rex Murphy, he eloquently explained that the prolonged campaign was actually a good thing for democracy.

Instead of the usual sound bites and over-blown gaffes, this cam-paign allowed us to see the candidates work their way through a series of important issues – from the Senate scandal, to the refugee crisis, to immi-gration issues and federal budgets.

Too often in the crush of national media cover-

age, real issues get snowed under by inane stories about the paint job on an airplane or a candidate’s flub when playing catch or an angry old man calling everyone names.

While this campaign has had those types of moments, from peeing in a coffee cup to an array of bizarre social media com-ments dug up from the past, it has also provided voters a chance to closely scrutinize each party’s stance on issues.

Certainly there is a choice out there for the electorate.

As we have all seen in our mailboxes, the Conservative pitch is to continue on the current path, focus on national security and keeping taxes low.

How they achieve that is at the heart of the debate against the ruling party.

While the other three parties – Liberal, New Democrat and Green – offer different takes on how to achieve shared

goals, they offer a stark contrast to the current government.

And therein lies the decision.

Stay the course or time for a change?

Much has been said about “strategic voting,” or the “ABC” (Anything But Conservative) cam-paign, but it still comes down to a personal choice.

That’s the great thing about democracy.

Despite all the attack ads, the double-speak, the promises of billions of dollars and the dream of a strong middle class, it

comes down to you and I to make the decision.

When you’re set to mark that ballot, hope-fully people block out those annoying ads, those mountains of promises and each party’s spin on all the budget numbers, and vote from the heart and conscience.

That’s where the right decisions are often made and I have faith in the Canadian population that however they vote on Election Day, it will be because they perceive that’s what’s right for our country.

When Barack Obama was elected president of the United States in 2008 it touched off celebrations around the world as the George Bush was brought to an end.

I sincerely doubt we will see that type of cele-bration should Stephen Harper be defeated but there will certainly be a wave of joy flowing over many parts of Canada.

The comment boards to various stories are filled

with people hoping to see the end of the Harper regime. While I agree that comment boards aren’t really indicative of the general mood of the population, it certainly is showing a trend.

If I needed any more convincing, it came to me Wednesday morning read-ing a story on the CBC website. One reader, with a Montreal Canadiens ava-tar, expressed his desire to see Harper lose the election. A self-professed Boston Bruins fan sup-ported that comment.

If a Bruins fan and a Habs fan can agree on something as polarizing as an election, that’s the best barometer I need to realize there is definitely a desire for change.

On Monday every cit-izen eligible to vote can play a role in the direction our country will take.

And if you don’t play your role, then you’re simply not trying to help.

The Canadian Federal Budget for 2015-2020, “Strong Leadership: A Balanced-Budget, Low-Tax Plan for Jobs, Growth and Security,” is propaganda: it does very little else other than subsidize busi-ness profits.

A national debt of $668 bil-lion in 2015, with $212 bil-lion being refinanced this year, belies any claim of a “balanced budget”.

Taxes are at a 50 year low, corporate income tax rates have been dropped from 22.12 per cent to 15 per cent, and “small business” (gross annual revenues of $10 million) income taxes are 11 per cent,

(9 per cent by 2019). The gov-ernment is instead making its revenue in underhanded ways, like raiding $23.1 billion from our Employment Insurance this year.

Private businesses are being extravagantly supplied with public money, but that will not result in either an enduring boost to the economy, or in well-paid, plentiful jobs.

Huge increases in the funding for National Defence (annual escalator from 2 per cent to 3 per cent) will be spent on military campaigns abroad, and on anti-terrorism, surveil-lance, policing, and security domestically.

But those huge Armed Forces budgets will not keep us safe, instead they will only serve to alienate, to escalate and to polarize groups already in conflict.

This Budget 2015 does not show “Strong Leadership.” It does not even mention: climate change, the end of fossil-fuels, ecosystem services, green jobs, renewable energy, strategies for clean water, local food, and livable cities, human rights, or meaningful international aid.

Please, get out at vote this October 19, the future of Canada is riding upon it.

Amanda PattFruitvale

Balanced budget claim is propaganda

“Niqab” has become the newest word in Canadian pol-itical vocabulary.

The garment is worn by very few Canadians, but just as it completely covers up the wearer, its political advantage is to cover over the multitude of real issues facing us this election tide.

A badly sagging economy, a transformation of Canada’s military from peacekeeping to being the puppy of the Americans, the disregard of

the environment, contempt for indigenous people, Bill C-51 and all the other fail-ures of the present govern-ment can be covered up by the artificially created issue of the niqab.

Hopefully, voters will not be distracted.

Rather, it is to be hoped that voters are studying how to most effectively cause change. In some ridings, this may mean voting Liberal.

In our freshly gerryman-

dered new riding of South Okanagan West Kootenay, it means voting for the NDP, as an analysis of our voting pat-terns show only the NDP or Conservatives have a realistic chance of winning here.

Until we get electoral reform, this is the only way to achieve a result which reflects what the majority of voters want, which is the end of the Harper government.

Win Mott Trail

Niqab debate masks real issues

An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press

If you thought federal polit-ical turmoil has been dragging on for too long without a clear outcome in sight, then you def-initely won’t like the scenarios that could emerge after the Oct. 19 vote.

For starters, how about another national election next spring? It’s not as far-fetched as it sounds, depending on who claims the right to govern fol-lowing the election.

So far, none of the three main parties has broken from the pack. That could change, but it’s still anybody’s race to win — if only by a nose.

Minority governments are inherently unstable and rarely last a full term in Canada, but the political calculations would be most intense and unpredict-able if Stephen Harper’s Conservatives won a plurality of seats.

Mr. Harper says he would expect to form a government, even in a hostile Parliament.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair and the Liberals’ Justin Trudeau are running on a platform of change. Mr. Harper’s ouster is their most important goal, and it seems inconceivable they would support a minority Conservative government.

Mr. Harper, however, could

claim the right to attempt to govern. Under this scenario, Parliament would be called back six months after the election for a speech from the throne, when the Conservatives would prob-ably be defeated.

The Governor General could then ask the leader of the next largest party if he is capable of forming a government.

A temporary alliance between the Liberals and the NDP seems likely, although Mr. Trudeau has ruled out the idea of a formal coalition with cab-inet positions shared by the two parties.

Mr. Harper, of course, would protest, saying the right course is another election. The people, he would argue, not power-hungry opposition parties, should decide. “Losers don’t get to form coalitions,” he said recently.

The Governor General could consider such an option, par-ticularly if the Conservatives were only a few seats short of a majority.

Superficially, it seems as though the Liberals and the NDP would make comfortable bed partners, but historically the junior members of such alliances have tended to suffer at the next election.

And how long would the Liberal party support the NDP

before it, too, was defeated and the country plunged into another election?

Canada may have to get used to the idea of formal coali-tions, which work well in many countries. And if the first-past-the-post system is abandoned in favour of proportional rep-resentation — as promised by the Liberals and NDP — such a system will become common-place.

Amid all the speculation and permutations, only one thing is clear: another election within six months or even two years is not in Canada’s best interests.

There are too many press-ing issues — the economy, the environment, national infra-structure, pipeline politics, Canada’s role in the world, the future of the Armed Forces — that require a firm, confident hand at the rudder.

Of course, it is impossible to say today who is obliged to do precisely what following an inconclusive election Oct. 19.

It is clear, however, the pol-itical parties ought to make the outcome work in a way that allows real management of national issues without the threat of a surprise or snap elec-tion, which might only land the country back where it started in August when the election was called.

When this election ends, will another begin?

On Oct. 6, students at Trail’s J.L. Crowe Secondary School, some of whom are eligible to vote, heard from four of the South Okanagan-West Kootenay candidates in the federal election. Some Grade 11 students from Stanley Humphries Secondary School in Castlegar were also present. Approxcimately 350 students were in attendance. Candidates were from the Liberal Party (Connie Denesiuk), NDP (Richard Cannings), Green Party (Samantha Troy) and Conservative (Marshall Neufeld). They pre-sented their platforms to students in an All Candidates’ Forum; Brian Gray, Independent, was absent. Questions for the candidates were generated from the Social Studies 11 classes. The candidates were warmly greeted outside by students and led to the gymnasium where they were assisted to set up. This event was organized by Colin Adamson, Socials teacher at J.L. Crowe. The students were also able to meet the candidates individually to ask further questions following the Forum. Above, Liberal candidate Connie Denesiuk answers a question while Green Party candidate Samantha Troy looks on.

B Y T I M E S S T A F FTwo former West Kootenay Midget

Wildcats joined Trail’s Erin McLean, another ex-Wildcat, on the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) Trojans women’s hockey team as they opened their Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) hockey season on the weekend.

Rookies Steph McAuley of Trail and Kira Streliev of Nakusp made their debuts on Friday night at home as SAIT hosted NAIT Ooks from Edmonton.

McAuley, a forward, played three sea-sons for the Wildcats, her best coming in 2013-14 when she netted 12 goals and 18 points in 30 games. Steliev, also a for-ward, played from 2012-14, tallying six goals and eight assists in 56 games, while McLean played from 2010-13 on defence accumulating eight goals and 19 assists over that time with West Kootenay.

The Trojans skated to a 2-0 victory over the ACAC defending champion Ooks in the opening match of the season, with the three-year veteran, McLean, assisting on the first tally by Madison Fjellstrom and then scoring the insurance marker for SAIT.

“It sends a big message throughout the league, and sends a big message to our team that we’re here and we can do it,” Trojans coach Terry Larson told a SAIT reporter. “It was a great way to start the season.”

Offensively, SAIT had chance after chance in the game, but couldn’t cash in on two breakaways and a very rare 3-on-0 situation.

“Whoever gets a 3-on-0?,” Larson said laughing. “How many breakaways did we have? I told the girls that was almost a 6-0 game, because we had so many chances.”

The rematch in Edmonton the next night did not go so well as they fell 4-1 to Nait. McLean picked up an assist to tie the game at 1-1 in the first period but NAIT rallied scoring once in the middle frame and twice in the third period to ice it.

Like Friday night, SAIT outshot the Ooks 27-25, and had numerous scoring opportunities, including a handful of breakaways, but could not capitalize.

“Once these players start getting their confidence up and believing in them-selves, the goals will come in bunches,” Larson said. “We’re only going to get bet-ter from here.”

The Trojans return to action this week against the Olds College Broncos, who just joined the ACAC this season.

came out guns blazing against the Spokane Braves on Tuesday, bombarding the Braves’ net with 57 shots on their way to a 6-2 victory at the Hawks’ Nest.

The previously unbeaten Hawks lost their first game of the season to the Braves, 2-1, on Oct. 3, despite outshoot-ing Spokane 45-23. Beaver Valley made sure that scenario wouldn’t recur scoring four times in the first period to take a 4-1 lead on their way to their ninth win of the season.

“I thought this was really one of the first games we played the whole 60 minutes,” said Hawks assistant coach Bill Birks. “We wanted to get lots of shots on these guys as both goalies are dynamite.”

The Pruss brothers teamed up for the winning goal with 1:17 left in the first period, when Allan Pruss found the back of the net on a set up from Michael Pruss and Jake Yuris to give the Hawks a 3-1 lead.

The victory came at a time of transition for the Hawks. Following goalie Brandon Wells’ departure to the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, B.V. had

no back up on Tuesday, and only Drake Poirier to man the pipes.

“We had a guy come into Nelson on Saturday night and play; he’s not Brandon Wells but we think we have that with Drake (Poirier) already,” said Birks. “He was good, but we’re still looking for one (goalie) and I think Terry (Jones) will find one, he does every time, and he always gets a high-end guy in here.”

Fruitvale native Kyle Hope netted his first of two on the night for the Hawks bank-ing a behind-the-net shot off Spokane goalie Trevor Dilauro to make it 1-0 just under three minutes into the game with assists going to Sam Swanson and Tyler Leicht. A defenceman, Leicht was impressive in his first game back for B.V., netting two assists after sitting out the first 10 games recovering from knee surgery.

“The team was ready since the last time we played them,” said Hope. “This time we came out doing what we wanted and played hard. We know they have a good goalie we just had to get lots of shots on them tonight and beat them.”

Braden Fuller made it 2-0, banging in a Dylan Heppler pass

at the side of the net, before Spokane replied drawing the Braves within one when Connor McIntosh shoveled in a rebound after Poirier made a good pad save off an Elliot Plourde shot.

Pruss netted the winner 18 seconds later, and Blake Sidoni deftly redirected a Lyle Frank point shot past Dilauro to give the Hawks a 4-1 lead with 57 seconds remaining in the open-ing frame, as B.V. outshot the Braves 20-5 in the period.

The Braves Mason Jones made it 4-2, the result of a bad give away behind the Hawks net. But 31 seconds later Hope restored the three goal lead midway through the middle frame. Swanson won a faceoff deep in the Spokane end, and Hope jumped on the puck and beat Dilauro short side to score his fifth goal of the season.

Michael Pruss rounded out the scoring with 8:15 left in the third period as Frank’s point shot caromed off the cross bar and off Pruss’ chest and into the net. The goal matches Michael’s total from all of last year, scoring his sixth marker of the season and third point on the night.

“Those two guys (Hope and Swanson) play balls out every

shift, every practice, every game - if everybody worked like that it would be a perfect world, and the Prusses too they seem to always give us a spark when we need it and they did again tonight,” said Birks.

The Nitehawks also added the Ghiradosi brothers from Trail to the roster last week. Twins Tyler and Devin are 16-year-old forwards and bring both size and skill to the Hawks.

“There is some raw talent that is untapped, that both me and Terry (Jones) and the coaching staff think that there is something there that is going to make these guys into two really good hockey players,” said Birks. “They’re big kids, they’re headsy, they move the puck well, they have lots to learn, but their offensive instincts, their game, and their battle level is through the roof.”

B.V. outshot the Braves 57-20 on the night with Poirier collecting his fourth win of the season, while Hope was named player of the game for B.V. and Connor McIntosh for Spokane. The Nitehawks host the North Okanagan Knights on Friday at 7:30 p.m., before heading to Grand Forks to face the Border Bruins on Saturday.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SNEW YORK - Short rest has never been the

issue for Clayton Kershaw in October. Winning when he couldn’t afford to lose, that was the problem.

Kershaw finally came through with the season on the line Tuesday night, saving Los Angeles from another early playoff exit by pitching the Dodgers to a 3-1 victory over the New York Mets that forced their NL Division Series to a deciding Game 5.

Working on only three days’ rest, Kershaw shut down the Mets for seven innings and Justin Turner delivered a key hit against his former team. The series shifts back to Los Angeles tonight with fellow Dodgers ace Zack Greinke scheduled to start against Jacob deGrom.

The winner will host the wild-card Chicago Cubs in the NL Championship Series opener Saturday.

“Definitely happy to be going back home,” Kershaw said. “They like us a little better there.”

Still the target of chanting Mets fans, Chase Utley watched from the bench again as the Dodgers did enough at the plate to hand home-town rookie Steven Matz his first loss in the majors.

Unable to muster much offence themselves, the Mets squandered their only chance to close out the series at home.

“I wish we could have won it here,” David Wright said, “but Clayton Kershaw was just a beast tonight.”

Kershaw’s one-out single led to a three-run third. Adrian Gonzalez blooped an RBI single and Turner added a two-run double, providing sup-port for the lefty ace.

The reigning NL MVP and three-time Cy Young Award winner snapped a five-start losing streak in the playoffs - the longest in Dodgers history.

“I’m actually really happy for him. I mean, this kid is tremendous. Everything that you’re supposed to be, he is,” Dodgers manager Don

Mattingly said. “This guy’s an animal, the way he works, represents us, the game of baseball, himself. I mean, he’s really a credit to the game, and so you’re really happy for him to be able to do that tonight.”

After dropping the series opener 3-1 to deGrom, Kershaw was 1-6 with a 4.99 ERA in 12 career post-season outings, including nine starts. He lost elimination games each of the past two years, once on three days’ rest.

But this time, Kershaw was just as dominant as he normally is during the regular season.

“There’s no curse or anything,” he said. “Just got to get through the seventh.”

He struck out eight, walked one and yield-ed only three hits, quieting another revved-up crowd at Citi Field as the night wore on. Daniel Murphy hit his second solo homer off Kershaw in the series, both coming in the fourth inning.

Kenley Jansen got four outs for his second save. With two runners on in the eighth and the count full, he retired Murphy on a fly to right. The right-hander then worked a 1-2-3 ninth as the Dodgers ended a seven-game losing streak in road playoff games.

Kershaw improved to 1-1 with a 1.89 ERA in a trio of playoff starts on three days’ rest.

“I feel confident with Zack going in Game 5 back home,” Kershaw said. “I really wanted to win tonight, definitely. For a lot of reasons, but obviously most important was just to give Zack a chance.”

With a $290 million payroll that’s $66 mil-lion higher than any other team, the Dodgers are seeking their first pennant since winning the 1988 World Series. They’ve captured three straight NL West titles but won only one playoff series during that span - in part because Kershaw got little run support in four consecutive post-season losses to St. Louis.

But after Los Angeles allowed 13 runs to the Mets in Game 3, a Dodgers post-season record, Kershaw restored order when his team absolutely needed it.

S U B M I T T E DCASTLEGAR – There has

never been a better time to check out the multitude of program options and career pathways available at Selkirk College.

The annual Selkirk College Open House at the Castlegar Campus goes Nov. 4 between 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Secondary students from across the West Kootenay and Boundary are invited to come to the campus to explore the more than 60 programs offered. Parents, high school teachers, career counsellors and all members of the public are also encouraged to check out what Selkirk College has available.

“This is a great oppor-tunity to explore the wide array of programs offered at all of our campuses,” says Aimie Chernoff, Educational Recruitment Coordinator for Selkirk College. “Putting all the programs and services together in one space allows prospective students to get a really solid understanding of what is offered and how to make their educational dreams a reality.”

Selkirk College will have representatives from all pro-grams on hand to provide information and answer questions. Programs from all eight campuses through-out the West Kootenay and Boundary will be featured.

Also attending the Open House will be admis-sions officers, financial aid, Aboriginal Services, coun-sellors and current Selkirk students who will act as tour guides. There will be inter-

active and informative dis-plays set up in the Castlegar Campus “pit” for prospective students to browse. Faculty will be in attendance to chat about some of the amazing educational opportunities that exist.

“Having the opportun-ity to meet face-to-face with Selkirk College staff is very beneficial when it comes making an important deci-sion about your future,” says Chernoff. “A vital part of the

college’s overall mission to provide post-secondary edu-cation in our home commun-ities. Both high school and mature students have daunt-ing decisions ahead of them when it comes to choosing a school that suits them best. Taking a closer look at what Selkirk College has to offer can help make those deci-sions easier.”

There will important information provided about scholarships and financial aid

which are available to stu-dents who study at Selkirk College. Understanding the daunting task ahead for those nearing the end of high school, there will also be help in filling out the col-lege application. Those who fill out their application that night will have the $36 regis-tration fee waived.

Tours and free refresh-ments will be provided. For more information head to www.selkirk.ca/open-house.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

A lot of people e v e r y w h e r e now drive all wheel or four

wheel drive vehicles. The half ton crew cab four-by-four is prob-ably the car of choice. We happen to live in an area where it is a lot more likely that these vehicles will be used off road espe-cially during hunting season.

The typical half ton four by four is not as equipped for off road use as it used to be. It is likely not designed as much for that type of use. Typically they

can be equipped when purchased with option packages that make them a little more off roadish but the com-promise always seems more shifted to on road use.

If you are consid-ering some off road driving, for hunting or maybe getting some firewood remember just because it says 4 wheel drive some-where on the inside or outside of the vehicle does not mean it is a mountain goat.

Unless your vehicle was specif-ically equipped it

likely will not have any extra skid plates (metal plates that cover particularly delicate components on the underbody). A brush with a rock could quickly cause some serious damage. Aluminum oil pans are common now and they are a lot more brittle than stamped steel.

That suspension system that makes your rig handle like a race car on the high-way is not designed to amble up a steep rutted rocky climb. A real off road sus-pension is made to articulate and have lots of travel. The wheels can there-fore follow a more undulating surface.

A highway suspen-sion resists roll and articulation to pro-vide that level planted feel on the road. It will have a hard time letting the wheels fall into ruts and climb up on rocks while still maintaining contact and traction.

When you are out

in the woods looking for that perfect stand of firewood and a lit-tle bushwhacking is going to save you a lot of grunt work remem-ber that those good mileage numbers you read about and may have experienced from your new truck are the result of aero-dynamic improve-ments.

A e r o d y n a m i c improvements as a rule do not a good four-by-four make.

The front face of your truck or SUV probably is a lot clos-er to the ground then that old ugly beast you used to drive.

The bumper may be lower for safety reasons and lower than that will be

an air dam of sorts (probably plastic). The low bumper and air dam wreak havoc with your approach angle.

The maximum approach angle in degrees is the slope angle you are able to start up from a hori-zontal plane without any part of the vehicle making contact with the ground.

Where your old Jeep could almost drive up a wall (well 45 degrees or so) your new pickup may not even get onto a 25 degree slope without tearing off that nice air dam.

What will be sur-prising when you do a little off roading with that new pickup is

how quiet the interior is and how good your stereo sounds and how clean your shoes are (no hubs to get out and engage).

Remember when you get home, that just like your old four-by-four, it is time for some maintenance.

Wash off that mud and check those drivetrain fluids. If you went through any water make sure none of those fluids are contaminated.

Any water means it is time to change fluids.

LEISURE

Dear Annie: Several years ago, you printed a poem about organ donation. I carried it until it ripped to shreds. I’m in end-stage renal failure and want people to be aware of the importance of organ donation. Please reprint it. -- Not Giving Up

Dear Not: Here it is, with our hopes for your recovery:

“To Remember Me” by Robert Noel Test (1926-1994)

The day will come when my body will lie upon a white sheet neatly tucked under four corners of a mattress located in a hospital busily occupied with the living and the dying.

At a certain moment a doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and that, for all intents and purposes, my life has stopped.

When that happens, do not attempt to instill artificial life into my body by the use of a machine. And don’t call this my deathbed. Let it be called the Bed of Life, and let my body be taken from it to help others lead fuller lives.

Give my sight to a man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby’s face or love in the eyes of a woman.

Give my heart to a person whose own heart has pain.

Give my blood to the teenager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren play.

Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week.

Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.

Explore every corner of my brain. Take my cells, if necessary, and

let them grow so that, someday, a speechless boy will shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her windows.

Burn what is left of me and scat-

ter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow.

If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all my prejudice against my fellow man.

Give my sins to the devil. Give my soul to God. If, by chance, you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you.

If you do all I have asked, I will live forever.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Upset in Montreal,” whose friend, “Rhonda,” has become rude and unsympathetic. Rhonda sounds just like my mom. Mom was wonderful, compassionate and caring until the past decade. She has some form of dementia and has lost all filters. She says anything that comes to mind, most of it rude, cruel or at the very least, inconsiderate.

Your advice to have “Upset” ask

Rhonda when she’d last seen her doctor was spot-on. My bet is that Rhonda is beginning to suffer from dementia. -- Wyoming

Dear Wyoming: Any change in personality should send alarm sig-nals to seek medical advice. Thank

you.Annie’s Mailbox is written by
