Champion Cabs has moved out of Trail and Creston Cab Company is driving in.
Ken Parker, co-owner of Creston Cab Company, saw a vacant spot for a taxi service in Trail and Castlegar and is in the process of filling that spot.
The new branch of the Creston Cab Company is already up and running in Castlegar with one car on the road, and another vehicle to be added to the Trail area by next week – less than two weeks after Champion Cabs closed its doors. Parker says he will keep residents informed on when the Trail branch of the company is in full service.
“We have a vehicle out in Vancouver right now getting fitted with meters and decals,” said Parker. “We are paying for our driver in Castlegar to fly out to Vancouver and drive it back to Trail. It will be here pretty soon.”
The company will be hiring the drivers who were previously employed by Champion Cabs and Parker says, along with the same drivers, the new taxis will be providing the same service and even a little extra.
“We can do long distances, for example, to Creston or Cranbrook, just call ahead,” he said, adding that the company will be available for trips for Teck employees, bar closings and hospital visits. “We are definitely open to starting up contracts with (Teck and the hos-pital) and just provide service where service is needed. We even have a boosting service. If you are stranded we can come and give you a boost.”
The phone number for the Trail taxi service isn't set up yet, but Parker says they will be online by Friday.
“We've had people calling the numbers already,” he said. “They are on their way and should be set up later in the week.”
The company is starting small with one taxi vehicle in each city, and Parker hopes it grows to a couple of vehicles in both Trail and Castlegar.
“We are going to have one vehicle (in Trail) at the beginning, but if the need is there, we will add a sec-ond one,” he said.
The process to get a taxi company set up usually takes a few months, said Parker, but the company managed to get licensed in just a couple of weeks.
“When we realized there wasn't going to be a cab company in Trail and Castlegar, we put in an urgent public request to start up faster,” he said, mentioning the reason the application was rushed was because otherwise, there would have been no taxi transporta-tion service in the two cities and contracts previously signed between the old cab company and different groups would no longer be honoured.
The Trail branch of the Creston Cab Company will be in full service with the first vehicle on the road as early as Friday.

It's that time of year again.With flu season just around the
corner, people are already rolling up their sleeves for an annual influenza shot.
Local pharmacies have been offer-ing free flu shots to eligible people for one week, so it's possible that the days of long lines at the public clinics might be over.
Public immunizations are being
offered in the Trail Memorial Centre on Nov. 3 and Nov. 9 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., but according to Interior Health's flu clinic locator, the ser-vice isn't being offered in Rossland or Beaver Valley this year.
That's where the pharmacies seem to be filling the gap because in seven days, Fruitvale's IDA Pharmacy has administered 300 vaccines for Monday through Friday drop-ins and Rossland's Alpine Drug Mart isn't far behind. However, that store offers
the service during scheduled times – next being Tuesday from 9 a.m. until noon.
Shoppers Drug Mart in downtown Trail has been busy vaccinating people as well, says pharmacist Linda Seib.
“We've given quite a few flu shots already to high risk people,” she noted.
Those considered high risk includ-ed people over 65, expectant mothers, and people with chronic conditions such as asthma.

Karen Thatcher (left) from Black Bear Designs donated three brightly coloured quilts to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital Health Foundation fundraiser coming up Nov. 22. After a traumatic brain injury, Thatcher used quilting to heal and improve her concentration, short term memory and organizational thinking. She is now a master of her craft and instructs fabric art quilting. the foundation’s Lisa Pasin helped display the donations.
Italian Style of cuebidding involves showing either first or second round control in a suit below
game. People who enter a cuebidding sequence often realize there is not the room
to cuebid first round control and then at the next chance to bid the same suit again to cuebid second round control, so instead they will cuebid a second round control about which partner needs to hear.
The bidding: South could very well open the bidding with Two Clubs. At most he can lose one Spade, one Heart and two Clubs. Strictly speak-ing, he does not have 8.5 quick tricks, 22-plus high card points or game in his own hand so he opens One Spade.
North has 11 points in support of Spades and four-card support, so he immedi-ately gives partner a limit raise. If he had only three Spades, he would normally bid a new suit at the two-level then bid Three Spades.
South knows they are in the slam ballpark and cue-bids his Diamond controls. He skips Clubs because he does not have first or second round control in Clubs. North cuebids his second round Heart control but this bid has a hidden implication.
North knows South does not have first or second round Club control. If he did not have a Club control
himself, he would know that slam is not possible. North, by continuing the cuebidding sequence promises a Club control.
South asks for keycards (aces and the King of trump) and bids Six Spades. South can use Blackwood with a worthless doubleton because his partner has already prom-ised a club control.
The Lead: The King of Clubs is the natural lead being top of a solid suit.
The play: Declarer ruffs the second round of Clubs, draws one round of trump and claims.
Result: Six Spades is cold for +1430.

B y W i l l J o h n s o nNelson Star
Nearly 50 people in the West Kootenay have been struck with whooping cough during the last four months, with approximate-ly 40 cases in Nelson. Interior Health calls the outbreak entire-ly preventable, noting that the situation is being exacerbated by Nelson’s unusually low immun-ization rate.
Medical health officer Dr. Rob Parker told the Star that though most BC communities have immunized approximately 90 per cent of their children and infants, Nelson is way behind at 65 per cent.
“It all comes down to com-munity immunization,” said Parker. “The place we see repeat-ed outbreaks is places like Nelson, where some parents believe in a
more natural lifestyle or they’re trying to stay away from medica-tion and drugs.”
Also caused pertussis, whoop-ing couch is a bacterial lung infection that poses a serious risk to babies. Adults show much milder symptoms, which helps it to spread.
“We’ve been lucky so far. Nobody’s been hospitalized yet. If there’s a case where they are
hospitalized, most often it’s an infant,” Parker said.
He said the outbreaks are cyclical, and return repeatedly to areas without sufficient immun-ization.
“The cause of whooping cough is always around. It’s in people’s noses even if they’re not get-ting sick, and they’re probably not getting sick because they have immunity through the vac-
cine. But as the new pool of young children who haven’t been immunized come up, that’s when you get an outbreak like this.”
Other than immunization, which is the only proper way to protect yourself from the air-borne infection, which is usually spread by coughing, Parker said families should be sure to keep up on hygienic standards such as hand-washing.

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) wrapped up its Reach a Reader Campaign during the last Trail outdoor market of the season. With the help of the Trail Times, citizens were asked to donate to the program. This year the campaign raised over $2,000 for literacy in the Greater Trail area.

FROM PAGE 1Seib reminds anyone coming in for a flu vac-
cination to wear short sleeves and bring his/her Care Card. There is a consent form to fill out and clients will be asked to hang around for 15 min-utes in case of a reaction, she added.
The National Advisory Committee on Immunization recommends that all Canadians six month of age and older receive the seasonal shot this fall, citing that the vaccine is safe and most effective way to prevent spread of the dis-ease.
Doctor Lucinda Loukras, a local paediatrician, say that every time a child gets a flu shot, that action protects playmates who may have chronic illnesses and or other family members with pro-gressive diseases such as diabetes or cancer.
“Kids are the harbourers of the disease and spread it around,” said Loukras. “I think all chil-dren should get the flu shot because they can infect, for example a grandparent, who if they got influenza, it would be very dangerous for them.”
Loukras noted that for caregivers and health care professionals, it’s reassuring that local par-ents are responding to the message that flu shots are essential to help prevent the spread of disease.
“For us who care for children, and for parents who may have a child that is high risk, it’s nice to know that as a community we are protecting all of them. It makes a big difference.”
Loukras recently moved to the area and brings 26 years of paediatric experience to the region.
She will soon open her practise in downtown Trail.
“It’s kind of a fun thing,” Loukras said. “My office will be at 850 Helena Street, which is also the site of the original Trail hospital.”
On a final note regarding flu shots, Loukras reminds people not to buy into the latest media hype over the deadly spread of the Ebola virus in North America.
“About this crazy fear about Ebola,” she explained. “We need to listen to our health offi-cers that keep reminding us that more people die every year around North American from the flu that will ever be at risk from Ebola.”
Guests to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital and any health care facility are required to have a flu shot or wear a mask wear when visit-ing patients during flu season that begins Dec. 1 and ends March 31.

A Canadian folk-rock and country music legend is com-ing to Trail, and tick-ets are nearly sold-out.
Gordon Lightfoot will be gracing the stage at the Charles Bailey Theatre on the night of Oct. 31 as part of the fall leg of his 2014 coast-to-coast tour.
Nadine Tremblay, marketing and pro-gramming with the theatre, says if you want to see the author of such Canadian clas-sics as “Sundown” and “If You Could Read My Mind” now would be a good time to get tick-ets because they are probably going to sell out soon.
“Tickets are sell-ing steadily,” she said. “(There is) only one $60 seat left. a bunch of tickets at $91.50 or $112.50 left and prob-ably one-third of the VIP seats left at $145 each.
“(The VIP tickets) are complete with a dessert reception and a chance to get to meet Mr. Lightfoot. It will be a nice full audi-ence for Gordon and I’m sure it will sell out so I urge people to not wait to get their tickets.”

HOW TO AVOID A CRIMINAL RECORD
Say you’ve been nabbed by police and criminally charged – whether for possession of pot, shoplifting, or perhaps a driving offence (we’re not talking murder or robbery). You’re over 18 years old and it’s your � rst time. Is a criminal record a sure thing?
Maybe not.
A criminal defence lawyer may be able to negotiate with the Crown prosecutor and secure a guilty plea to a lesser, non-criminal offence (such as a motor vehicle infraction in the case of a driving offence). Or a criminal defence lawyer could win a “not guilty” verdict for you at trial. In either case, you’d avoid a criminal record. But what if your lawyer tells you neither of these options is likely?
Let’s be clear – you want to avoid a criminal record if you can. Partly that’s because of the stigma attached. Nobody likes being branded a criminal.
But a criminal record has other negative consequences. It may jeopardize your current job and disqualify you from holding certain jobs altogether (think teacher, nurse or bank teller). And you may
have to disclose it when looking for a job – clearly it won’t help you land one in future.
Also, it may result in travel restrictions. With a criminal record, you may not be able to get into certain countries, like the United States.
So what can you do to avoid a criminal record?
Several options may be available, and your lawyer will discuss these with you.
One option is “alternative measures” sometimes known as “diversion.” Maybe the Crown prosecutor can be persuaded that in your particular circumstances
avoiding the criminal justice process is appropriate. You’d have to admit your guilt, take responsibility for what you did and try to make amends to the community. Typically this involves apologizing to those hurt by your actions, returning or paying for things that were taken,
counselling and/or doing community service. But if the Crown agrees to diversion and alternative measures, it sure beats a criminal trial – and avoids a criminal record.
Another option is: If you plead (or are found) guilty, the court might be persuaded that an absolute discharge is justi� ed in your case. Maybe you are young and show remorse, and it’s clear to the court the offence was totally out of character. The court may lean against branding you a criminal. So if you’re lucky, you will, just this once, get an absolute discharge – and no criminal record.
Yet another option is: If you plead (or are found) guilty, the court might be persuaded that a conditional discharge is appropriate. You would have to abide by a set of “good behaviour” conditions similar to probation for a speci� ed time period. If you live up to those conditions, you will not have a criminal record. But make no mistake – if you trip up and break the conditions, pronto, goodbye conditional discharge, hello sentence and criminal record.
In the case of either an absolute or conditional discharge, you can honestly say that you’ve never been convicted of a crime and you don’t have a criminal record.
If you’re facing a criminal charge, even one that seems minor, see a good criminal defence lawyer – the consequences of a conviction and criminal record can be long-lasting and nasty.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVANCOUVER - The
sister of a British Columbia man who was shot by the RCMP after a manhunt says the force should have found a way to end the ordeal peacefully, but instead she says police wrote him off as a vio-lent misfit and shot him in what amounted to an execution.
Peter de Groot, 45, was killed last week, several days after he disappeared into the bush following a con-
frontation with the police in the small community of Slocan, in southeastern B.C.
When the man-hunt began, the RCMP alleged de Groot shot at officers before flee-ing into the woods near his property. The force told the media de Groot was known to police and should be considered armed and dangerous.
But the man’s sis-ter, Danna de Groot, whose family held a news conference
Monday in Vancouver, said her brother had no history of violence or run-ins with the law.
Instead, she said he was a gifted scholar who planned on pur-suing a PhD before a brain aneurysm more than a decade ago left him in pain and with poor co-ordination. He eventually returned to his love of the out-doors, moving to rural British Columbia and living a homesteading life of farming.
“He was, very sim-ply, the most know-ledgeable and intelli-gent person that I’ve ever known,” she said as she condemned what she described as an attempt by RCMP to malign her broth-er’s character.
Danna de Groot sat next to her siblings and her father as she read a statement that detailed her experience travelling to Slocan on Thanksgiving week-end. She also explained what she knew about
how her brother’s confrontation with police began, though it wasn’t clear where that information came from.
She was not in Slocan when the man-hunt began and she did not witness the fatal shooting, though she and another brother did travel to the community when they heard about the manhunt.
She said the RCMP overreacted and escal-ated the situation at every turn, and then refused the family’s repeated offers to help police find de Groot and talk him down.
Specifically, she questioned why the officers from the RCMP’s emergency response team who found de Groot in a remote cabin didn’t wait for a chance to bring his family to help negotiate a peace-ful ending.
“We were right there asking (to talk to him) and he was exe-cuted instead of letting his family know he’d been found,” she said.
Danna de Groot said she was in a Slocan-area cafe last Monday morning sending family mem-bers text updates when she saw her brother Miles, who had flown out from Ontario, outside “freaking out. She went outside and learned the police had found de Groot in a cabin and that he was dead.
She said an RCMP officer who was also outside the cafe told her emergency response team officers “had gone to the cabin where he’d been spot-ted, three officers had opened the door to the cabin, and that Peter was on his front with a gun pointed at them and they killed him.”
“Why was my repeated request to talk to Peter ignored and our efforts dis-regarded?” she said. “Why was it too much trouble to get us to help to preserve the life of our vulnerable brother and prevent the killing from hap-pening.”
The RCMP declined to comment on the family’s allegations.
Danna de Groot said the family believes the troubles started the morning of Oct. 9, when someone called police and claimed to have been shoved by de Groot.
She said three RCMP officers arrived to arrest de Groot for the assault, barraca-ding the street with their cruisers and standing behind their vehicles with their guns drawn. She said de Groot owned guns, which she said is not out of the ordinary for someone operating a rural farm.
“They did not approach him in a rea-sonable manner to ask what happened,” she said.
She said when
she heard about the search for her brother, she offered to drive to Slocan but was told not to by the RCMP. She went anyway, driv-ing 10 hours from her home in Vancouver, she said.
As the weekend unfolded, she said she offered several times to search the woods for her brother or to talk to him if the RCMP were able to locate him.
At one point, de Groot’s family provid-ed the RCMP with a statement they wanted sent to the media, but it was never distrib-uted, she said.
Danna de Groot said the family would consider a potential lawsuit over what she described as her broth-er’s “wrongful death.” She said the family also hopes a coroner’s inquest, which is mandatory for deaths in police custody, prompts changes to how police respond to such situations.
The RCMP and the Independent Investigators Office, which handles allega-tions against the police in B.C., have said very little about what hap-pened when de Groot was shot.
The RCMP have only said two mem-bers of the force’s emergency response team were searching a cabin when there was an “interaction” between de Groot and the officers.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Canada’s
budget watchdog says the country is on track to run a $3.6-billion surplus in 2014-15, delivering a balanced budget a year earlier than government pre-dictions.
However, a report released Tuesday by Parliamentary
Budget Officer Jean-Denis Frechette urges Ottawa to proceed with caution when it comes to using sur-plus cash on new spending initiatives or to introduce perma-nent tax cuts.
If not, Frechette warns the government risks falling back into deficit once economic
growth slows.The Harper govern-
ment has pledged to cut taxes ahead of next year’s election - long-promised reductions contingent on a bal-anced budget.
“ P o l i c y - m a k e r s should be wary of using surpluses to implement permanent tax relief or spending
initiatives if they wish to avoid returning to deficits as economic growth subsides,” said the PBO’s latest eco-nomic and fiscal out-look.
The budget office predicts balanced budgets through 2019-20 when it says the federal surplus will reach as high as $11.3 billion. During that time, it expects aver-age annual surpluses of about $10 billion, which can be used for repaying debt, boost-ing program spending and cutting taxes.
Frechette’s pro-jection, however, for 2014-15 is at odds with Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who has insisted there won’t be a federal sur-plus until the 2015-16 fiscal year.
The Conservative
government has pledged to reduce taxes once the books are balanced, with pro-grams such as income splitting for couples with children under 18 and a doubling of the annual limits for tax-free savings accounts.
Earlier this month, Harper said last year’s federal deficit - for 2013-14 - would be more than $10 billion smaller than forecast, but he’s refused to predict the improving bottom line will pull Canada out of the red this fiscal year.
He announced a new $5.2-billion defi-cit figure for 2013-14 - down from the $16.6 billion shortfall pro-jected in February’s federal budget.
Economists and budget watchers had already calculated that
Ottawa might be head-ed to a surplus this fiscal year, which ends next March 31, before the prime minister’s announcement.
Last month, for-mer senior Finance Department bureau-crats Scott Clark and Peter DeVries pub-lished a report that found Ottawa head-ing for a $4 billion surplus, which did not include a $3-bil-lion “risk adjustment” cushion built into the
2014 federal budget. They based their esti-mates on last year’s deficit falling to about $10 billion.
Canada’s economic outlook has improved faster than expected in recent months, the budget office report said.
It found the coun-try’s real GDP was stronger than expected and it predicts further growth due to the improving U.S. econ-omy.
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SSAINT-JEAN-SUR-
RICHELIEU, Que. - Police say a car was driven deliberately into two soldiers, kill-ing one of them in what Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney called an act of violence against Canada that was “clearly linked” to ter-rorist ideology.
Blaney said Tuesday that Canada is taking terrorist threats ser-iously, adding he was “horrified and sad-dened” by Monday’s incident in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.
Police say a car was driven deliberately into two soldiers, kill-ing one of them.
“What took place yesterday is clearly linked to terrorist ideology,” he told a news conference in the town southeast of Montreal that is home to a military college and a garrison.
“It is an unaccept-able act of violence against our country, our Quebec values, our Canadian values.”
Quebec provincial police announced the soldier’s death Tuesday morning and later identified him as Patrice Vincent, a 53-year-old war-rant officer. No other details about Vincent were released in the police tweet.
The second sol-dier’s injuries were described as less ser-ious, and police said they do not fear for his life.
Provincial police Lt. Guy Lapointe told a separate news con-ference later Tuesday that the act was delib-erate and that one of the two soldiers was in uniform.
Earlier, Blaney said that as far as he knows no order has been given to mem-bers of the Canadian Forces to not wear their fatigues in pub-lic.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper also issued a statement Tuesday to offer his condolences to the slain soldier’s family and friends after what he called a “vicious event.”
“We also offer our prayers for the recov-ery of the member who was injured,” he said. “I would also like to thank first respond-ers on the scene for their efforts.
“Finally, I want to express that the authorities can count on our full support in order to get to the bottom of this terrible act.”
On Monday, the Prime Minister’s Office said the man who died from police gunfire after he struck the soldiers had “become radical-ized.”
On Tuesday, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson said the Mounties are inves-tigating with Quebec provincial police to “get a full understand-ing of the breadth and the sort of reach this individual might have had into other areas.”
He said he does not suspect the slain man had co-conspirators.
“We don’t suspect that, but we’re open to that and we’re con-cerned about that, so we’re going to be pur-suing every investiga-tive avenue to satisfy ourselves that we’ve eliminated that possi-bility,” he told repor-ters after an appear-ance before the House of Commons house affairs committee.
And Paulson con-firmed the man was one of 90 suspected extremists the RCMP believed were intend-ing to join fights abroad or who have returned to Canada.
“That’s what fol-lows from the analy-sis; his passport was seized by us ...”

OPINION
Oil getting blindsided by new technologyPresident Nicolas
Maduro assured Venezuelans, whose shaky economy
depends critically on a high oil price, that things are still good.
“The price of oil will hit its floor and it will rise again,” he said. “Venezuela will continue with its social plans. Venezuela will move forward.”
No it won’t, and nei-ther will Russia, Iran, or Nigeria. The only major oil exporters that are not in deep trouble are the Arab countries, whose govern-ments have some room for manoeuvre because of low production costs, relatively small populations, and big foreign currency reserves.
Since June the cost of a barrel of Brent crude, the benchmark for world oil prices, has fallen by almost a quarter, from around $110 a barrel (where it was stuck for the past four years) to just above $80 a barrel. Last month, for the first time in decades, Nigeria exported no oil at all to the United States. Even at a big discount, Americans just don’t need it. And the main reason for all that is fracking.
American production has almost doubled in the past five years thanks to the new drilling technolo-
gies, and the United States overtook Russia last year to become the world’s lar-gest producer of oil and gas combined. (Saudi Arabia comes a distant third.) With production soaring and world demand for oil stalling due to slow eco-nomic growth, a collapse in prices was inevitable. The question is how far they will collapse, and for how long.
The answer is probably not much further, for the moment – but they could easily stay down in the $75-$85 range for a couple of years. The reason for that is that the “swing” produ-cers (mostly Arab), who could theoretically push prices back up by cutting their own production, have clearly decided not to do so.
Their concern is for the long-term power of the OPEC cartel, which used to be strong enough to set the price of oil. That never will be true again unless they can drive the (mainly American) frackers who are causing the over-supply of oil out of business.
Saudi Arabia and its allies are hoping that a prolonged period when the price of a barrel of oil is lower than the cost of getting that barrel out of the ground by fracking will ruin this new industry and
bring back the Good Old Days. Dream on.
The Saudi strategy won’t work because some 98 per cent of US crude oil and condensates has a break-even price of below $80 per barrel. Indeed, 82 per cent of American produc-tion would still be turning a profit at $60 per barrel.
Even with its massive foreign currency reserves, Saudi Arabia probably cannot afford to keep the oil price low enough for long enough to break the American frackers. (Its own break-even price for conventional oil is $93 per barrel.) And the Iranians, Nigerians, Venezuelans and Russians, who depend on oil revenues for at least half of their national budgets, will be screaming for high-er prices before they face riots in the streets.
So this is not a transient
event; it’s a revolution. The Organization of Petroleum-Exporting Countries (OPEC) came into its own when the United States ceased to be the domin-ant global producer in the early 1970s. With the re-emergence of the United States as the biggest produ-cer, OPEC’s clout is bound to shrink – so oil prices will probably stay well below $100 a barrel for the fore-seeable future.
This will be a great boon for countries that depend heavily on imported oil, like India and China. It may eventually liberate the United States from its compulsion to inter-vene repeatedly in Middle Eastern disputes that are really none of its business. And it may be a disaster for repressive and/or corrupt regimes in countries like Russia (break-even price $105 per barrel), Nigeria ($119), Venezuela ($121) and Iran ($140).
It also means that wor-ries about “peak oil”, and the underlying calculation that the world had only about forty years’ worth of proven oil reserves left, can be set aside for a while. We are already up to 53 years of reserves, and we are finding new oil faster than we are using existing reserves.
Of course, a broader
view of our situation would find little reason for rejoi-cing in all this. Our global civilization depends on fos-sil fuels for 85 per cent of its energy, and our annual emissions of carbon diox-ide and other greenhouse gases are still rising.
Just another 25 years of that will deliver us to the “point of no return”: 450 parts per million of CO2 equivalent in the atmos-phere. That would raise the average global temperature by 2 degrees C, and trigger natural sources of warming that it will be impossible for us to turn off again. Runaway warming is not a happy prospect, so it is unseemly to celebrate the news that we have even more oil to burn – and cheaper oil, at that.
On the other hand, it would be entirely appropri-ate to celebrate the news that other new technolo-gies may open up a bet-ter escape route from fos-sil fuels. Solar power, wind power, nuclear fission, and hydro power all have a role to play in that task, but the Holy Grail for half a cen-tury has been fusion power. It may be much closer than we thought.

Thank goodness the kids and teachers are back to school and life has returned to what we in B.C. are privileged to call normal.
Now can it really be hoped that there is some sweet pay-back about to arrive in my mailbox, a cheque for $40 times 13 days equals $520 per child?
Thanks to the misdirected generosity of the B.C. govern-ment, that money will go into my pocket instead of into the education system for which it was originally budgeted.
Guess that makes up for just how choked I was with the whole strike, right? For how disruptive the missed classes made life at my house, that $520 will make me for-get about how angry I was
at the political posturing and manipulations. Maybe it will even buy my vote at the next election. Right?
Not gonna happen.Truth be told, the strike
didn’t cost me personally the whole $520: once I pay off my bills for day-camp and baby-sitting, some of that cash will be left over. Tempting as it is to pay off bills or prepay Christmas presents, maybe there’s a better way to use it.
Here’s a thought – why not put it back where it came from? School District treas-urer Natalie Verigin tells me she can issue a charitable tax receipt for money given back to the schools. And, she tells me, I can specify which school I want my money to go to. Even how it can be directed at
that school. So here’s how I see it.
My Temporary Education Support for Parents cheque is dirty money, as far as I’m concerned, because it didn’t belong to the government in the first place to give to me, it belonged to the students of B.C.
So I won’t be out of pocket – I will pay what it cost me during the strike – but I will put the difference back into my child’s school. I will write a cheque to School District 20, collect a receipt for my tax refund (thank you very much!), and feel a satisfied sense of “so there” to Christy Clark.

An editorial from the St. John’s Telegram
Hey, you. That’s right, you — the one with the door locked and the curtains drawn, slathered in Purell as you hide beneath your sterilized bed-clothes.
There’s good news. It turns out we’re not all going to die of pestilence. Or, at least, if we are, we’ll get plenty of advance notice.
It’s a curse of modern media that fear and panic can spread like wildfire. And as with most other viral outbreaks that crop up these days, Ebola has sparked pockets of hysteria throughout the Western World.
To say Ebola is not a con-cern would be foolhardy. It is a deadly disease. And in Western Africa, it has caused a human tragedy of immense propor-tions.
This week, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper offered to double this country’s monetary aid of $35 million to the affected areas. But the UN says at least $1 billion is needed to truly address the crisis.
As Gwynne Dyer pointed out in his Oct. 11 Telegram column, the Western response
to that epidemic had been too little, too late.
“Nine months after the first case of Ebola was confirmed in Guinea, we are still playing catch−up, and playing it badly,” he wrote. “Why is that? Aren’t the developed countries also at risk if the virus continues to spread?”
So, Africa and its neigh-bours have a problem. But here? We’re not even close. As of press time, there were only three confirmed cases in all of North America.
In fact, the World Health Organization has explicitly stat-ed that a major outbreak in the West is unlikely given robust health−care systems.
And Dr. David Allison, med-ical officer of health at Eastern Health, confirmed that apprais-al earlier this month.
“The risk of Ebola spreading throughout Canada remains very low,” he said.
Nonetheless, Eastern Health did hold simulated emer-gency preparedness exercises to evaluate the organization’s processes and procedures for managing potential cases of the Ebola virus.
That’s a robust health−care
system in action.And the same due diligence
is happening south of the bor-der, though you’d never know it by some media coverage. You’d think everyone should be run-ning for their lives.
Still, amid all the fear−mon-gering, one Fox News anchor finally decided cool heads should prevail.
Shep Smith interrupted a correspondent who reported there was “widespread panic across the country.”
“I think we both know there’s no widespread panic across the country,” Smith said. “And I think we also know that if there’s a widespread panic, it’s not based in fact and it’s not based in reason.”
Trying to strike a sense of balance, Smith added the fol-lowing words of wisdom:
“Some day, there may be a real panic. Some day, some-thing may start spreading that they can’t control. And then, do you know what we’re gonna have to do? We’re gonna have to relax and listen to leaders. We’re not gonna panic when we’re supposed to and we’re certainly not gonna panic now. We have to stop it.”

She spent 18 days on a ship with her 4 year old Joseph and 6 month old Lina. This was followed by a several day train journey from Halifax to Nelson BC where she was met with loving arms. Three years later Rosemary was born on Maria’s 36th birthday and for 58 years they celebrated together.
Maria loved baking and cooking for her family. She kept a wonderful garden and passed down the teachings of gardening and canning to her family. Her home was al-ways open to visitors. She felt complete when the shelves of her home were stocked with food just in case someone stopped in for a visit. Maria spent many years in the Sor-elle Columbo, Italo Canadese and the CWL here in Trail and countless hours helping everyone she could.

OBITUARIES
T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SNEW YORK - Oscar de la Renta,
the worldly gentleman designer who shaped the wardrobe of socialites, first ladies and Hollywood stars for more than four decades, has died. He was 82.
De la Renta died at home Monday evening in Connecticut surrounded by family, friends and “more than a few dogs,” according to a handwritten statement signed by his stepdaughter Eliza Reed Bolen and her husband, Alex Bolen. The statement did not specify a cause of death, but de la Renta had spoken in the past of hav-ing cancer.
“While our hearts are broken by the idea of life without Oscar, he is still very much with us. Oscar’s hard work, his intelligence and his love of life are at the heart of our com-pany,” the statement said. “All that we have done, and all that we will do, is informed by his values and his spirit. Through Oscar’s example we know the way forward. We will make Oscar very proud of us by continuing in an even stronger way the work that Oscar loved so much.”
The late ‘60s and early ‘70s were a defining moment in U.S. fashion as New York-based designers carved out a look of their own that was finally taken seriously by Europeans. De la Renta and his peers, including the late Bill Blass, Halston and Geoffrey Beene, defined American style - and their influence is still spotted today.
De la Renta’s specialty was even-ingwear, though he also was known for chic daytime suits favoured by the women who would gather at the Four Seasons or Le Cirque at lunchtime. His signature looks were voluminous skirts, exquisite embroideries and rich colours.
Most recently, Amal Alamuddin wore a de la Renta-designed wed-ding dress when she married George Clooney. And earlier this month, first lady Michelle Obama notably wore a de la Renta dress for the first time. De la Renta had criticized her several years ago, for wearing foreign design-ers.
First lady Laura Bush wore an icy blue gown by de la Renta to the 2005 inaugural ball and Hillary Rodham Clinton wore a gold de la Renta in 1997. On the red carpet at the Academy Awards, Penelope Cruz and Sandra Bullock were among the celebrities to don his feminine and opulent gowns. His clothes even were woven into episodes of “Sex and the City” with style icon character Carrie Bradshaw dropping his name - and comparing his designs to poetry.
“We will miss Oscar’s generous and warm personality, his charm, and his wonderful talents.” Bush said in a statement. “My daughters and I have many fond memories of visits with
Oscar, who designed our favourite clothes, including Jenna’s wedding dress. We will always remember him as the man who made women look and feel beautiful.”
De la Renta’s path to New York’s Seventh Avenue took an unlikely route: He left his native Dominican Republic at age 18 to study paint-ing in Spain but soon became side-tracked by fashion. The wife of the U.S. Ambassador to Spain saw some of his sketches and asked him to make a dress for her daughter - a dress that landed on the cover of Life magazine.
That led to an apprenticeship with Cristobal Balenciaga, and then de la Renta moved to France to work for couture house Lanvin. By 1963, he was working for Elizabeth Arden cou-ture in New York and in 1965 had launched his own label.
He told the AP in 2004 that his Hispanic roots worked their way into his designs.
“I like light, colour, luminosity. I like things full of colour and vibrant.”
And while de la Renta made Manhattan his primary home, he often visited the Dominican Republic and kept a home there. Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour was a frequent visitor and she has said travelling with him was like travelling with the presi-dent. “He’s a superstar,” she said.
He also had a country home in northwestern Connecticut. Gardening and dancing were among his favour-ite diversions from work. “I’m a very restless person. I’m always doing something. The creative process never stops,” he said.
As a designer, De la Renta always catered to his socialite friends and neighbours - as the designer and his wife, Annette, were fixtures on the black-tie charity circuit - but he did make occasional efforts to reach the masses, including launching a mid-priced line in 2004 and developing a dozen or so perfumes, the first, called Oscar, was introduced in 1977 and more recently, Rosamor.
He was an avid patron of the arts, serving as a board member of The Metropolitan Opera and Carnegie Hall, among others, and he devoted con-siderable time to children’s charity, including New Yorkers for Children. He also helped fund schools and day-care centres in La Romana and Punta Cana in his native country.
The Dominican Republic honoured de la Renta with the order al Merito de Juan Pablo Duarte and the order of Cristobol Colon. Here in the U.S., he received the Coty American Fashion Critics Award twice, was named womenswear designer of the year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 2000 and also received a lifetime achievement award from the CFDA - an organization for which he served as president in the 1980s.

Don’t let your operating costs leave you in the cold this winter. As a small business, you probably want to focus on making money. FortisBC can help reduce your operating costs with no-cost and low-cost energy saving tips to help lower your monthly natural gas bill and reduce your environmental footprint. If you’re in the position to upgrade space and water heating systems or commercial cooking equipment, FortisBC also offers rebates on high-effi ciency models.
Small actions can add up to savings Think about cutting costs where you won’t notice it. If your business uses natural gas for heating or cooking, here are some easy tips from FortisBC to help you save energy and money.
Save hot water
■ Fix leaky taps and install water-saving aerators on kitchen and bathroom faucets.
■ If running a commercial kitchen consider installing a low-fl ow spray valve to pre-rinse dishes. These devices use approximately 50 per cent less water than standard types.
■ If you can access your hot water pipes, wrap them with foam or rubber pipe insulation to prevent heat loss.
Save heat
■ Install a programmable thermostat and program it to 20 °C when at work and no more than 17 °C when no one is there.
■ Your space could stay warm for up to an hour before the heating system needs to kick in again, so why not program your thermostat to turn down the heat an hour before you close shop.
■ If you operate a street front business, don’t leave the door open on cold days as it’ll push all your heated air out the door.
Upgrading can save you two waysWhen it’s time to upgrade, check out FortisBC’s rebates for high-effi ciency boilers, water heaters and cooking equipment. In addition to the rebate, you’ll experience ongoing savings on your natural gas bill with more effi cient appliances installed. If you’re not sure what upgrade is right for your business, consider a free consultation from a business energy advisor. It’s all part of how FortisBC is helping businesses save energy and money.

S U B M I T T E DA boisterous home crowd
and pre-game banner raising ceremony fuelled the Selkirk College Saints to a convincing 5-1 victory over the Eastern Washington University Eagles on Friday night at the Castlegar Community Recreation Complex.
Returning to the com-forts of home ice after a rough regular season start that saw the Saints drop all three games on the road, the two-time defending BC Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) champions got back on track.
With a crowd of more than 500 in attendance, the Saints raised the 2013-14 BCIHL banner to the rafters of the
Complex and then went to work at showing why they are a threat for a three-peat.
“We had our best practices of the year in this last week, just going back to the basics and working hard,” said veter-an defenceman and Fruitvale native Arie Postmus after the game. “Our first three games of the season were unaccept-able and we lost our identity a bit, but I thought tonight with the ceremony at the start it helped show all the guys what we are here for and it got us going for the whole night.”
Looking nothing like a team that entered the game in last place in the BCIHL standings, the Saints came out flying. Just over three
minutes into the open-ing period, hulking forward Jackson Garrett pounced on a rebound and put it past EWU starter Austin Brihn.
The Saints dominated the first 20 minutes, but could only solve Brihn once.
However, four minutes into the second period, former Trail Smoke Eater captain Logan Proulx finished a nice passing play with another for-mer Smokie, Darnell Dyck, to give the home side a 2-0 advantage.
Working on the team’s top line with Proulx and Dyck, Garrett finished off his hat trick early in the third per-iod with another rebound 50 seconds in and then a nice deflection two minutes later
on the power play.Just over four minutes into
the final period EWU’s Chase Wharton got the Eagles on the board, but Saints’ new-comer Alex Milligan closed out the scoring with a power play goal with five minutes remaining in the game.
Garrett—who was returning from a rib injury that kept out of the first three games—was named the game’s first star.
The Saints will trav-el to Langley on Friday to play Trinity Western University and return home to the Castlegar Recreation Complex on Saturday night for a rematch against EWU. The puck drops on Saturday at 7 p.m.
BY TIMES CORRESPONDENTThe nip in the air is welcome remind-
er that the ski season is just around the corner, and it is time to swap the old for the less old.
Local ski racers and enthusiasts will get their first fix of skiing with the Annual Red Mountain Racers Ski Swap set for Saturday at the Willi Krause Field House in Trail. Gear drop off is from 8:30-11:00 a.m. with the swap doors opening at noon.

Dubbed Wacky Wednesday, it will be a fes-tive atmosphere at the Trail Memorial Centre’s Cominco Arena tonight as the Trail Smoke Eaters face off against division rivals the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.
Not only will there be Smoke Eaters and Gorillas on the ice, but the team will be raf-fling off a car courtesy of AM Ford, and offering special prices at the Spud and Suds Shacks, as well as $5 admission to all adults, and free entry to children 12 and under.
As for the game, the two teams are tied for fourth place in the Interior-divison standings with 12 points, however, Trail has two games in hand on all their division opponents, and a victory tonight would put them into a tie with second-place Merritt. Penticton continues to lead the division with 20 points and a 10-1-0-0 record.
The 5-4-0-2 Silverbacks are coming off a split on the weekend with a 5-2 victory over Langley Sunday, and a 3-2 loss to Victoria Friday night, while Trail eked out a 3-2 over-time win in their lone game against the Rivermen on Saturday.
In the Smokies-Silverbacks first match up on Sept. 27, Salmon Arm came away with a 4-2 win in a close game that saw Nick Hutchinson net the winner late in the second period, while Taro Hirose scored twice for the ‘Backs. Michigan Tech commit Angus Redmond stopped 25 shots in net for the Silverbacks, and is 4-4 on the season with a 2.77 GAA and a .900 save percentage.
Defenceman and Air Force committ Andrew Farny tops Salmon Arm in scoring with five goals and seven assists while Carson Bolduc leads all forwards, 5-5-10, after a two goal and one-assist performance against Langley.
The Smoke Eaters managed the win over the Rivermen despite being outshot, 38-27, on Saturday. On the positive side, the team picked up two points in a game that could have easily gone awry early. Smokie special teams were clutch killing a five-minute major in the first period and one late in regulation, and also scoring once on the power play. Adam Todd was great in net for Trail, making several excel-lent saves, and was likely the difference on the night. The offence had flashes of brilliance, but finish and flow was lacking, and will look to simplify their game against the Silverbacks.
The doors open at 6:45 p.m. so fans can get their car raffle tickets early as only 1,500 are available, and you must be at the game and present for the draw to claim it.
The puck drops at 7:30 p.m.Smoke Signals: The Trail Smoke Eaters
Booster Club initiated a “Smokie Hotline” to further help out the community. For residents that need help around the house or in the yard, call 231-9949 and a team of Smoke Eaters will get the job done. Donations are gratefully accepted.

By Times CorrespondenTThree games into the
Retirees curling season and the cream is rising to the top.
Ernie Brown’s front end put on a clinic of rock placement. End after end they placed perfect guards and drew around for counters. The Pat Fennell side was chasing the game from the get go and could not break through, as Brown prevailed a lot to noth-ing.
Serge Pasquali’s team took advantage of last rock as they traded ham-mer back and forth with the Forest Drinnan rink. Down 6-2 after four ends the Drinnan side pow-ered back with three in the fifth but could not complete the comeback as Pasquali counted five over the last three ends for an 11-5 victory.
The Brett Rakuson side battled with the Dan Horan rink through five ends. In the sixth Rakuson’s draw to the four-foot for two was the
spark they needed. A steal of two in the sev-enth proved too much for the Horan side to overcome. Rakuson won 6 to 3.
Murray Walsh’s team looking for there first win were leading the Primo Secco side seven to six going into the eighth end with ham-mer. But it was the Secco side stealing two that came away with the 8-7 win.
Jim Stewart’s team scored five in the third to take a three-point lead over the Clare Coleman side, but Coleman bat-tled back and stole three in the seventh to take the lead. Stewart, with hammer, could only muster a single point to tie the game at eight.
Harvey Handley’s foursome were in tough against the Tom Hall side, but Handley jumped out to and early lead and held on to run the Hall side out of rocks in the eighth for the 7-5 win.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- The Vancouver Canucks’ sell-out streak ended at 474 games Saturday night with a less-than-capacity crowd at Rogers Arena in a 4-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The last time the Canucks didn’t play in front of a full house at
home was on Nov. 12, 2002, when they beat the St. Louis Blues 6-3. The sellout streak began two days later in a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings.
The announced attendance for the Canucks’ 4-2 loss to the Lightning on Saturday was 18,647 -- just 223 short of a sellout.

Dear Annie: A few years ago, I obtained a quote from a company for a manufacturing service. My business ended up not using them.
Two months later, I received an invitation from this company to an open house. I ini-tially thought, “How nice.” However, on reading further, it said a religious organization would give a presen-tation and donations would be encouraged. I felt I was being used.
Within the week, I received a follow-up call regarding the origi-nal quote. I informed them that their prices were not in our range, and at some point dur-ing the conversation, I gently mentioned that I thought the open house invitation was in poor taste. I prob-ably should have been more diplomatic, but I thought the person on the other end could use some constructive crit-icism. In return, I was blasted. It turns out she
was the daughter of the owner. In yelling at me, she also said that one of her sisters suffers from a genetic birth defect and that the presenta-tion was to raise funds for the disease.
After all this time, it still bothers me. I just figured this fami-ly-owned business was giving jobs to rela-tives who perhaps were unaware of appropriate business practices. Was it OK for this compa-ny to use its business contacts to try to raise funds for a charity this way? -- A Reader
Dear Reader: First of all, if the religious presentation was to raise funds for a spe-cific medical cause,
it should have been stated on the original invitation. Otherwise, people could easily get the wrong idea, as you did. And while we can-not blame a family for wanting to reach out to as many contacts as possible, it was inap-propriate to use their minor business con-tact with you to solicit funds for a personal charity. But it would have been better had you not chastised the company employee over the phone, even with good intentions. A simple “yes” or “no” to the invitation would have sufficed, and then this wouldn’t be both-ering you years later. Please try to let it go.
Dear Annie: My sis-ter lives 30 minutes away. We all pile into my parents’ car for the ride. The problem is, my sister serves dis-gusting food: fish that’s not fresh, and salad drenched in dressing that she makes hours in advance, so it gets soggy. She covers the
table in glitter, which gets into the food. Bringing a dish is not allowed.
I usually eat lunch before going so I won’t be hungry. When my sister asks why I’m not eating, I make some excuse. What should I do? I don’t want to say her cooking is horrible. Should I just put up with it? -- Big City
Dear Big City: How often do you go? If it’s less than once a month, we’d put up with it. How sensitive is your sister to criticism? If you go every week, you might offer to bring a dish by saying, “You host so often, I feel guilty not helping out. I insist on bringing the salad.” Your sister may also learn (in time) to be a better cook and get the glitter off the table. Right now, she’s still trying to impress you.
Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Salem, Ore.,” the couple won-dering how to tell friends and family not to buy them Christmas
gifts. Years ago, our parents told us the same thing. They asked that instead of buying for them, we buy for someone else.
Many stores in our area have a “giv-ing tree.” Each orna-ment has a gift idea and a child’s age and
size. I was thrilled to find a tag for a little girl who wanted Barbie doll clothes, as I make those. The gifts are then taken to the area social services to be distributed. The stores are also involved with the food pantry at our church. There are so
many people in need. -- Giving

For Thursday, Oct. 23, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today’s New Moon is the perfect day to think about how you can deal with debt, shared property and the wealth and resources of oth-ers. Consider what you can do. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today the only New Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. It’s the perfect opportunity to think about how to improve your closest relationships. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) What can you do to improve your job or become better at it? Think about this, because the New Moon today is the perfect time to make resolutions. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It’s important to have a bal-ance between play and work. Too often, we work ourselves to death. (Literally.) Do you
give yourself enough play time? LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your home is your castle. What can you do so that you will enjoy your home more? And what can you do to improve your relationships with family members? VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today’s New Moon is the best day all year to think about your style of commu-nicating to others. Do you listen to others? Do you speak clearly? LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You keep your finances private. Today is the best day all year to think about how to improve how you handle your money and how you take care of what you own. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve your appearance. How can you offer a better image to
your world? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today you might want to think about the spiritual values that enrich your life. Whatever they are should be what makes you walk your talk and stand tall. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Do you hang out with quality people? Your friends influence your mind, and your mind makes your
choices. This means your friends dictate your future. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Are you happy with the direction your life is headed? Do you have five-year goals? Where do you want to be 10 years from now? These are questions for today’s New Moon. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) What further training or education can you get to
improve your job or enrich your life? Today’s New Moon is a wonderful day to make new resolutions. YOU BORN TODAY You are charming with groups because you are fast-think-ing, witty and good at impro-visation. But you get bored easily, which is why adven-ture attracts you. This is a testing year of growth and building, something that occurs beneath the surface. Do not make major changes
yet -- wait until next year. Strengthen your financial position by reducing your overhead. Be smart. Birthdate of: Trudi Canavan, author; “Weird Al” Yankovic, singer/songwriter; Sam Raimi, film director. (c) 2014 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

The Ministry of Forests, Land and Natural Resource Operations has granted the city a permit that allows for a population reduction of the urban deer herd anytime between Dec. 1, 2014 to March 15, 2015.
“That permit allows us to reduce the population by 50 ani-mals,” noted CAO Wayne Staudt at Monday night’s city council meeting.
Staudt pointed out that the permit is just one part of the pro-
cess, and a move for a cull would still have to come from council decision.
That process would also include a deer population count by the Urban Deer Management Committee. The count is planned for this fall though no date has been set as of yet.
Coun. Denise Pallesen asked whether the city had a contractor lined up for a cull. Staudt said the city did not.
“Council hasn’t even decided whether we would proceed with any reduction of the herd using
this permit or not,” Staudt said. “So we have not contracted this out or request for proposal at this time.”
Coun. Angus Davis noted jok-ingly that from his count, the deer population is thriving.
“Just as an item of informa-tion I want you to know that the 11th Avenue herd ¬— all five generations of it — are doing well,” Davis said.
He noted the herd is often in his yard.
The city made the permit application to the province after
an unanimous approval of coun-cil at the July 14, 2014 meeting.
Mayor Wayne Stetski was quick to point out at that meet-ing that even if the permits are granted, it will likely be up to the next sitting council to approve any culls. The municipal election is Nov. 15, which means there is only one more council meeting on Nov. 3, before then.
In February 2013 council approved a cull of 30 deer, with plans to cull more in the fall of 2013. However the cull was canceled upon recommendations
from the Urban Deer Management Advisory Committee.
The committee recommended canceling because the number of complaints about urban deer was down from the year before.
The committee focused on areas where they had public safe-ty concerns with the deer.
Back in November of 2011, Cranbrook conducted the first cull in the East Kootenay com-munities.
Cranbrook culled 25 urban deer — 11 white-tail and 14 mule — using clover traps.
