The tinkling of bells sounds off the holi-day season today at 11 a.m. with the launch of the Salvation Army's Christmas Kettle Campaign at Ferraro Foods.
Volunteers will be ringing in donations for the annual drive that aims to raise money and awareness for the continued need for social service programs and resources for vulnerable individuals and families.
Bruce Taylor is one of 139 locals signed up to bring cheer this year.
He's been donning his woolies and bring-ing upbeat Christmas music, courtesy of his wife Susan, to the kettles outside Shoppers Drug Mart and Walmart for 15 years.
For the retired police officer, the cam-paign literally hits close to home.
“I was just a young boy in Drumheller, Alberta,” recalled Taylor, saying the year was 1949 or 1950.
“Our house was the last to go in a row of 11 homes that were burnt down in the middle of a very cold winter.”
The fire was probably caused by a coal stove, he surmises, because the main fuel in those days was coal.
The story doesn't end there, because just as community members were getting ready to save the Taylor house, the fire depart-ment's pumper truck pulled in.
Because it was so cold outside, 30 or 40 below, when the fire truck backed up and inadvertently ran over the hose, the line cracked and water ran all over the ground and the family home was lost.
“My mother told me that the Salvation Army was the first ones to come and help,” said Taylor. “They put us up in a hotel and brought food and clothing which they never charged for.”
Taylor remembers his mother's stories of how the church helped during the war years, and he discovered throughout his decades on the force the dedication of church volunteers.
“I joined the RCMP in 1970 and spent all my time in different places in B.C.,” he explained.
“The Salvation Army was almost always the first on scene to provide assistance to people, victims of different crimes and to
help out the police and response teams with hot drinks and food. So I thought this was my way of giving something back to society and this is a good organization to help.”
Last year, the church received $31,500 in donations from the Greater Trail com-munity, and this year Major Wilf Harbin is hoping to top the funds a little more, with a goal of $32,000.
“Our number one priority with the dona-tions is our Christmas hamper program,” said Harbin. “But we wouldn't able to do it without our volunteers.”
Considered Canada's largest and most recognizable charitable event, the kettle drive keeps all dollars in the community where the dollars are raised.

Trail Regional Airport users will have an idea of what a new airport terminal will look like and cost early in 2015.
Don Goulard, airport man-ager, says he has been working closely with the chosen architec-ture firm to iron out the details on what is needed for a new terminal building.
“The decision was made back in September to go with the Office of McFarlane Biggar (OMB) and MMM Group, a big airport division consulting firm,” he said, adding that the two companies were in town last week to survey the area.
“It was an intense 24 hours. They wanted to learn everything about the whole area as quickly as possible.”
Goulard gave the architecture firm a Feb. 1 deadline to have a concept plan and budget ready for him to present to Trail City Council.
“We (the consultants and Goulard) drove around, we looked at things and we talked about the requirements for the terminal building and every-thing outlined in the Request For Proposal (RFP) for what we should have in the terminal building.
“We were up late and back at it early in the morning.”
The two companies were hired for the project after Goulard put together an RFP last spring and around two dozen architects surveyed the site in the summer.
The airport isn't going to break ground on a new terminal any time in the next few months, but the project is continuing forward with input from affected groups.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong says British Columbia is on target to balance its books this year.
The minister says the latest financial numbers reflecting the first six months of the fiscal year point to a projected surplus of $444 million.
The Liberal gov-ernment originally forecast a surplus of $184 million when the budget was tabled last February.
The minister says revenues are up by $194 million from the forecast in the first quarterly report.
Natural resource revenues are down, but he says but tax revenues are up for retail sales and new vehicles and federal transfer payments have also increased.
De Jong also says the debt is forecast to be down more than $1 billion from the ori-ginal budget forecast of $64.7 billion.

Wayne Lindeberg adds his thoughts to the idea board at Wednesday's Columbia Basin Trust open house at the Cominco Arena gym while Jo Brown and Gordon Titsworth think about what to add. The open house was set up to invite residents in the area to share their input on where the CBT should be investing its money and efforts. With a steady stream of people coming in the door, the most frequent comments surround seniors and affordable housing and improving arts and culture. There is a second open house in Rossland next Tuesday at the Miners’ Hall.
FROM PAGE 1All donations
left over from the Christmas hamper program are disbursed throughout the year through the Salvation Army Food Bank, Kate’s Kitchen, and the Family Services Program.
Those in need are treated to extra good-ies for the holidays. The hampers are stuffed with everything from canned soups and cookies to meat and fresh produce gift cer-tificates to local gro-cery stores.
While the Christmas hampers contain spe-cialty items like cran-berry sauce and gift certificates to give families the tradition-al dining experience, giving is not a deed picked up only once a year.
Kate’s Kitchen coor-dinator Linda Radtke expects more than 300 hampers will be made this year, keeping with last year’s numbers, and some of these fam-ilies will also rely on donated gifts for their
children. Residents can play Santa by picking a tag from a Christmas gift tree set up so far at the Waneta Plaza and Ferraro’s. A gift donation can later be dropped under the Christmas tree unwrapped.
The Salvation Army also runs a fam-ily sponsor program, where the organiza-tion matches donors with a family in need.
“If it wasn’t for the Christmas hampers and the Salvation Army a lot of people would be sitting at home with nothing for Christmas, especially if they have children with no toys, with no food and that’s not something that we want to see,” said Radtke. “We want to make sure that every-body is looked after at Christmas, Christmas is a very important time of year and we don’t want to see any-one suffer.”
Applications for the hampers can be filled out at Kate’s Kitchen on Rossland Avenue before Dec. 9.

FROM PAGE 1“There is a process that we have to fol-
low and now, we are trying to put together a stakeholder group of those who have a vested interest in being part of this planning,” said Goulard. “The mayor, council, people who use the airport, Pacific Coastal and Red Mountain, for example.”
Goulard says the discussion is ongoing with OMB and MMM making sure that every invest-ed group gets what they want. For example, Pacific Coastal may need a certain number of check-in desks within the new terminal.
After that, the next step is to find the money for the project, whether it is funding from outside sources or finding the dollars in the budget.
“There is a lot going on right now, and come Feb. 1, there will be the whole, ‘where are we going to get the money,’ or, ‘how are we going to pull this off,’” he said, adding that council will be familiar with the information in the report.
“Council will also be working on this proj-ect throughout, so they will know what is in there. It will be based on their input and the input of other stakeholders.”

Geothermal energy can help power the B.C. electrical grid around the province, and B.C. should assess that option before decid-ing to proceed with a third dam on the Peace
River, an industry asso-ciation says.
The Canadian Geothermal Energy Association (CanGEA) issued a report Tuesday detailing its latest work on geothermal sites. In addition to hot springs and volcanic sites that could be tapped to pro-vide power, the study examines “hot sedi-mentary aquifers” that have been stumbled upon by oil and gas drilling.
“At the risk of offending my own mother, this ain’t your grandma’s geother-mal,” said CanGEA chair Alison Thompson at a Victoria news con-ference.
Thompson pointed to the recent joint f e d e r a l - p r o v i n c i a l review of BC Hydro’s Site C dam project, which noted that little research into geother-mal energy has been conducted in B.C.
The CanGEA report estimates that deep hot water aquifers and other geothermal sources are capable of producing enough electricity to meet BC Hydro’s projected needs, including the 1,100 megawatt cap-acity offered by Site C. The report calls for a one-year delay on Site C, which has passed federal and provincial environmental reviews and is being considered by the B.C. cabinet.
Energy Minister Bill Bennett said Tuesday he expects cabinet to make a final invest-ment decision on BC Hydro’s $8 billion dam proposal by the end of December. He said geothermal energy has potential in B.C. because unlike wind or solar power it pro-vides a steady source of power, but he doesn’t see it as an alternative to the dam.
“It is a good resource,” Bennett said. “We do want to use it. It will be
important to B.C. in the future. It’s not a way to get the 1,100 megawatts of electri-city that we need now.”
Bennett noted that the provincially-fund-ed research agency GeoScienceBC issued a request for proposals Tuesday for a study on the economic viability of geothermal resour-ces.
CanGEA is doing its own mapping, not just of promising sources but their proximity to roads, power lines and consumers. Thompson said the industry is also looking at com-bining solar and bio-mass with geother-mally heated water to produce enough heat to fire boilers for elec-tricity.
Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver said the report shows Site C should not go ahead next year, because CanGEA projects lower cost, with power sources and jobs dis-tributed across the province.

knocked out power across the Okanagan, and wreaked havoc on local roads.
Around 2,500 Peachland residents have been in the dark and cold since Tuesday night and power was expected to be back on Wednesday afternoon.
BC Hydro rep-resentative, Dag Sharman, said there were 43 outages and the trouble can be chalked up to heavy, wet snow falling onto trees that have yet to lose their leaves.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SMONTREAL -
Former Montreal for-ward Gilles Tremblay, who won four Stanley Cups with the Canadiens in the 1960s, has died. He was 75.
An exceptional skat-er known for his con-tributions on both ends of the ice, Tremblay helped Montreal win four Cups between 1965 and 1969 before injuries and illness forced him to retire.
Tremblay suffered from asthma during his career and took doses of cortisone in his playing days and into his later career as the first former player to act as an analyst on French-language hockey broadcasts on Radio-Canada.
He had also battled intestinal cancer in recent years.
Tremblay played his entire career with Montreal, scoring 168 goals and adding 162 assists over 509 regu-lar-season games.
Rejean Houle, who joined the Canadiens in 1969 just as Tremblay was about to leave, called the stocky
winger an “offensive, defensive player.
“When you play with Jean Beliveau and Yvan Cournoyer, you need to have skill offensively, but he was the one who was always coming back.”
Houle, who got to play only 10 games with Tremblay, remem-bered him as a popular teammate with a gift for telling funny stor-ies.
The native of Montmorency, Que., from a family of 14 children made his NHL debut on Nov. 12, 1960 as Montreal faced Detroit at the Forum. The 22-year-old winger started on a line with future Hall of Famers Bernard (Boom Boom) Geoffrion and Beliveau and was tasked with shadowing legendary Red Wings star Gordie Howe.
But Tremblay said in his biography “Gilles Tremblay: 40 an avec le Canadien” (40 Years With The Canadiens) that it was Chicago Blackhawks right-winger Ken Wharram he found most difficult to cover “because he skated just as fast as
me.”In an era when
scoring 20 goals in a season was considered a significant achieve-ment, Tremblay reached that plateau five times. He scored a career-high 32 goals, one shy of team leader Claude Provost, in his second season.
Various injuries and acute asthma forced Tremblay to retire after the 1968-69 season, when he was only 31.
Tremblay remained close to the game he loved, launching a successful career as a colour analyst for the French tele-vision broadcasts of Canadiens games on Radio-Canada.
“During his 27 years on La Soiree du Hockey, many of them as part of a formidable announcing team with Rene Lecavalier, Gilles’ insights brought a national audience the stories of hundreds of games and eight more Canadiens titles,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement.
“We send heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of
someone who brought great dignity and pro-fessionalism to his duties on and off the ice.”
In a 30-year career as an analyst, and was given the Hockey
Hall of Fame’s Foster Hewitt Memorial Award for broadcasting excellence in 2002.
“I took a lot of pride in that and I opened the door for many others,” Tremblay said.
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SWINNIPEG - A Winnipeg woman who
feeds bannock to the city’s homeless is in danger of losing her delivery van unless she raises $3,000 to pay off several speeding tickets she didn’t even know about.
For the last two years, Althea Guiboche has baked bannock and taken in donations of food and clothing that she distributes to the needy every Sunday at a central-area location.
Known as the Bannock Lady, Guiboche went on Facebook Tuesday to say her vehicle had been seized and will go up for auction unless she can pay for the fines in about a week.
The inner-city mom says the tickets are the result of the van being taken many times last year without her knowledge or consent.
Guiboche’s social media posting has already raised dozens of financial contribu-tions to help cover the fines.
It’s not clear whether her weekly ban-nock delivery is gone for good, or only temporarily until she gets her wheels back.
By the end of Tuesday afternoon, doz-ens of people had offered to chip in $20 each. Some offered $100 or $150 and one anonymous donor offered $500.
“It’s so tremendous. Overwhelming,” said Guiboche.
Guiboche has overcome a number of other setbacks, including battles over per-mit issues and food safety. She has repeat-edly rallied the support she needed to keep going.
In addition to Facebook, Guiboche runs a website at gotbannock.ca.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SBEIRUT - Beloved for her powerful
voice and brazen in the conservative Arab world for her multiple marriages, Lebanese singer, actress and entertainer Sabah never seemed far from the limelight during her six-decade career.
And even while playfully mocked in her later years for clinging to youth through plastic surgeries, flings with far-younger men and garish outfits, Sabah remained cherished for her love of life and positive outlook even into old age.
“I’m proud that I’m a village girl but I had a lot of ambition,” Sabah once said in 2008.
Sabah, whose real name was Jeanette Feghali, died Wednesday morning at age 87.

OPINION
Dirty political tricks undermine democratic processWith the swearing
in of new coun-cils and may-ors across our
region, it was refreshing to see such strong voter turnout in many local com-munities.
To me, that says people are listening, watching, reading and taking an active role in deciding the future of their hometowns.
They’ve also made their point that we must work with not against our neigh-bours if we want to con-tinue enjoying our little corner of paradise.
That’s a great sign about the future of municipal politics and the role cit-izens play in it.
Unfortunately the same can’t be said on the federal level.
Revelations this week that a Conservative party “operative,” which must be another word for spy, secretly recorded a conver-sation involving a Liberal candidate in hopes of leak-ing it to the media and providing fodder for federal politicians to denounce an opposing party’s viewpoint is yet another sign of how far our political discourse has fallen on the national level.
Of course Canadians witnessed several previews to this type of thing in the last American election including a moment when Republican presidential
candidate Mitt Romney was secretly recorded at a fund-raiser claiming a section of the population won’t vote for him.
It was leaked to the media, Democrats jumped on the opportunity to chas-tise Romney and another nail was put in the coffin of his presidential aspirations.
So the fact that the Conservative party is stoop-ing to such tactics is cer-tainly no surprise.
Oddly enough even though Sun Media (Canada’s version of Fox News) retracted the story, after someone else claimed to have made the com-ments attributed to the Liberal candidate, the Tory MPs in Ottawa so far refused to do so.
The character assas-sination was done and the work complete. No need to apologize.
The unfortunate conse-quence of the actions of the MPs and the Conservative operative is that it under-mines credible discussion between a candidate and constituents.
I doubt we’ll see forums, such as municipal ones in Warfield, Trail or Fruitvale, where candidates are asked for their frank opinions on issues.
Suddenly any feder-al candidate must be on guard that someone is try-ing to entrap them by goad-ing them into embarrass-
ing comments.Suddenly what should
be an honest discourse between a voter and can-didate will be viewed sus-piciously by the candidate’s handlers unless the ques-tion comes from someone fully vetted and cleared of any other party affiliation.
Suddenly our rights to question our representa-tives will be under scrutiny not for the answer it might elicit but for the source of the question.
The entire issue of dirty tricks is nothing new to federal politics. However, it has been ramped up in the last couple of dec-ades as parties import the American-style of cam-paigning. The strategy is “don’t offer anything new but criticize and attack anything your opponent wants to say.”
Which brings us the fed-eral election on the hori-zon.
As editor at the Trail Times, I’m already seeing the consequences of the redrawn electoral bound-ary that splits Greater Trail from Nelson, Salmo and Kaslo and throws us into a district with Penticton.
Okanagan citizens with their own political interests are beginning to post com-ments on the Trail Times Facebook page or send in letters to the editor in hopes of swaying voters to see their point. People who would normally look west from the Okanagan sud-denly have a vested interest in shaping opinions in Trail or Nakusp.
I guess that’s fair game, since we’re all “political bedfellows” as one writer put it. And it’s only going to grow as the election nears.
Since all three major party candidates are from the Penticton region and the vast distances they would be forced to travel to campaign face-to-face with voters, the quickest, cheapest and easiest way for supporters to connect with voters is to send let-ters to newspapers.
Although connecting with voters via the media is certainly one way to pitch a platform or denounce an opponent, it’s a sad com-mentary that face-to-face discussion is becoming harder to do.
Not only is the travel a hurdle, but also candi-
dates now must be aware of who is in the crowd, who is asking the question and what is their purpose at the meeting.
It’s a sad day for dem-ocracy when candidates start getting suspicious of a citizen’s intent. But with “operatives” looking for a gotcha moment on an opponent or a party helper using robocalls to mis-direct voters at the polling station or a candi-date’s handlers lying about fundraising to circumvent election laws, we all lose.
I certainly don’t expect the trend to end, espe-cially now that our riding includes a big population centre like Penticton.
Much like the recent municipal elections in the Lower Mainland, large population centres tend to generate special-interest groups bent on pushing a particular agenda.
And with that Conservative territory vying for votes in the NDP stronghold in the West Kootenay, who knows how campaigning will play out.
But if an open public meeting in Canmore, Alta., can turn into a scene of political underhandedness that plays out in the nation-al media and on Parliament Hill, then, sadly, no region is immune.

Citizens can play a vital role in creating a new museumNow that the referendum is
behind us, the Trail Historical Society will begin planning for a modern museum that we hope will become a learn-ing centre for the residents of Trail and a visitor attraction that will enhance the down-town area.
One way you can help us with our plans and support the preservation of our his-tory is to consider donating unneeded or unwanted items that may be of historical inter-est to the Society.
We need to continue to build our collection of arti-facts, photographs, docu-
ments and film that show life in Trail in the past so that we may be able to present our history to the public in a meaningful way. It is only with the public’s support of the Historical Society and its goals that we succeed in preserving our community’s history and sharing it with the public in the future.
If you are cleaning out the basement or attic, downsizing to a new home, or clearing a loved one’s home following their passing, please consider donating items you feel rep-resent a snapshot of our com-munity’s growth and develop-
ment over the past decades to our Society.
If you have any doubt as to the heritage value of an item, please call our office at 250-364-0829 and we would be happy to help you decide its historical significance.
Everyone’s life represents a piece of our city’s history and you can help us ensure records chronicling that pres-ence in the community is preserved and protected for future residents of Trail from which to learn and enjoy.

An editorial from the Toronto Star
Imagine going to bed hun-gry, not receiving presents on holidays, being an outcast in gym class because you don’t have runners, or trudging through snow without boots because you don’t own any.
It’s tough.But for the 967,000 children
who were living in poverty in Canada last year it was a daily reality.
That’s one in seven, or 13.3 per cent, of our children. It’s worse in Toronto, where a study released in August found that 29 per cent of children — almost 149,000 — live in poverty, while 15 of Toronto’s 140 neighbourhoods have child poverty rates of 40 per cent or more.
That’s also the shocking rate of child poverty among our aboriginal population.
And it’s getting worse. Campaign 2000, which tracks the number of children living in poverty in Canada and advo-cates on their behalf, is set to release its 2014 report on Monday.
The news is grim, the agency says: numbers are up.
This despite the fact that Parliament unanimously voted 25 years ago, on Nov. 24, 1989, to end child poverty by the year 2000. At the time the number of kids living in poverty was actually lower, at 912,000, than it is today.
By any standard, Canada is a rich country. It is a member of the wealthy nations clubs —
the G8 and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development — and ranks 11th out of 186 countries on the UN Human Development Index, which measures standards of living.
So the question is: why is Canada ranked 24th among 35 developed countries by the OECD on child poverty? Or why is it graded at just a C by UNICEF, while smaller econ-omies like Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden are con-sistently ranked with As?
The problem isn’t a lack of money.
It’s a lack of political will on the part of the federal govern-ment that could adopt policies the experts say would pull more families out of poverty.
For example, the OECD says increasing child-care spaces eases child poverty by enabling mothers to get a job (38.2 per cent of Ontario children cared for by single mothers are raised in a low-income environment). But in 2006, the Harper gov-ernment killed a national child-care program that would have provided 635,000 subsidized daycare spaces and replaced it with a taxable $100-per-month child tax credit — which actually benefits the well-off more than the poor.
Cancelling that bene-fit (since increased to $160), along with two other tax credits beyond the reach of the poor, and redirecting that money to low-income families would have put almost $2,000 a year more into the pockets of the
poor in recent years.Instead, the Harper govern-
ment has just implemented a vote-buying scheme that promises $26.7 billion over five years in tax breaks and sup-port programs that will dis-proportionately benefit those who are already doing well. It includes an income-splitting measure that experts say will benefit only about 15 per cent of families, leaving 85 per cent (including the neediest) out in the cold.
A better policy? If the Harper government had even doubled the national child benefit, child poverty could be reduced by 26 per cent, according to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.
Or it could focus on what study after study has recom-mended along with a national child-care program: investing in job training and creating an affordable housing plan.
Instead, we’re living with a situation documented by Food Banks Canada’s annual HungerCount, which this year found that 37 per cent of the 841,000 people helped by food banks last year were children.
Twenty-five years after Parliament voted to end child poverty, an entire generation of children has grown up in need. Canada’s federal government cannot continue to turn a blind eye to them. It must commit to ending child poverty now — as other countries have.
They have the know-how and the means. There’s no excuse — just a lack of will.
End child poverty in Canada now

Gateway project wraps up in September 2015, six more people will have work experience by turn-ing Nelson’s historic CPR railway station into a state-of-the-art tour-ist centre and headquarters for the Nelson and District Chamber of
Commerce, thanks to $176,000 in government Job Creation Partnership funding.
These workers are getting experi-ence in construction, carpentry and heritage restoration techniques on the structure, built in 1900, as well as safety orientation over the course of one year.
The Nelson Gateway project, overall, has received more than $364,000 in funding and trained 10 other workers in two earlier stages of the project: more than $54,000 for the first stage and approximately $134,000 in the second stage.
Job Creation Partnerships are part of the Employment Program
of BC’s Community and Employer Partnerships, which fund projects that increase employability and share labour market information.
To date, more than 450 job seekers have benefited from work experience and more than 120 pro-jects have been funded throughout the province.

(From left) Trail Smoke Eaters Bryan Gerstenfeld, Ryan Swanson, Adam Todd, Kienan Scott, and Scotty Davidson (as well as Bryan Basilico, missing) are taking the lead in their Movember quest to raise funds to fight cancer, and don the yellow jersey to show support for the Canadian Cancer Society and their fundraiser at the Smokies game on Friday.
B y T i m e s s T a f fThe Trail Smoke Eaters hope to see a golden turnout
at the game Friday, as the Smokies team up with the Canadian Cancer Society to raise funds to fight cancer for their match against the West Kelowna Warriors at the Cominco Arena.
The Smoke Eaters encourage all fans to wear yellow to show their support in the fight against cancer, as yel-low is the symbol of hope and the signature color for the Canadian Cancer Society.
“I am hoping to spread the word and get the stands packed with a sea of yellow for this Friday’s game,” said Cancer Society coordinator Allison McCarthy in an email to the Times. “The schools played a big part and had their students color yellow daffodil color pages, which I will hang up in the arena as a Wall of Hope. It should be pretty cool.”
A host of golden daffodils created by students from Glenmerry, Webster, and St. Michaels elemen-tary schools will greet hockey fans on the walls of the Cominco Arena. In recognition of the fundraiser, the Smoke Eaters will be wearing yellow arm bands and using yellow tape on their sticks for the game, as well as giving away yellow “Gloves are off, join the cancer fight” T-shirts in the first intermission courtesy of Teck and Kootenay Savings.
All fans age 12 and under will be admitted to the game for a toonie, which the Smoke Eaters will then donate to the Cancer Society.
Join the fight against cancer at the Trail Smoke Eaters Friday night home game versus the West Kelowna Warriors at 7:30 p.m.

The Family Day Fishing Derby was cancelled earlier this week, as angler concern for the fishery on Kootenay Lake continues to grow.
Numbers of kokanee have plummeted from a high of an estimated 1.7 million return spawners to Meadow Creek and Lardeau River in 2011 to about 150,000 in September, adversely affect-ing the Gerrard rainbow and bull trout numbers to a degree that organizers had no recourse but to cancel the February fishing derby.
“This derby was intended to be a fun and exciting event and many of you can attest that spending two-and-a-half days on Kootenay Lake at minus-10 degrees without a bite or catching one- to two-pound rainbow is not fun or exciting,” the Family Day derby website, ctrcanad-derby.com, stated. “In fact, one of the 2014 fall three-day derbies did not measure any fish and the prizes had to be randomly drawn.”
Robert Di Pietro, presi-dent of Canadian Training Resources who sponsor the derby, says they are cancel-ling the event due to an extreme decline in fish stocks in Kootenay Lake.
“The lake is practically empty of anglers and fish, a real blow to our economy,” said Di Pietro in an email. “The results from our 2014 survey estimate that close to half-a-million dollars was spent over a three-day period from our derby alone.”
The popular derby attracted about 650 anglers this year, and, with a top prize of $10,000 for longest Gerrard, it was an economic boon for the area.
Nevertheless, the Ministry of Forests, Land and Natural Resources’ fish biologist Matt Neufeld is not panick-ing, at least from a fisheries and conservation perspec-tive.
“We recognize that kokanee numbers are down and we are seeing that with anglers, resulting in a whole
bunch of pretty hungry Gerrard rainbows, and we’re starting to see a decline in those numbers, just because of it. It’s part of a natural cycle and our job now is try and reduce the time that it takes for that cycle to hap-pen.”
Since the kokanee peak in 2011, stocks have declined steadily resulting in a return of about 450,000 in 2013 and 150,000 this year. Despite the dive in the kokanee count, the number of mature Gerrards spawning on the Lardeau River at Trout Lake in April-May was over 700, a good return for rainbows.
“They were down a bit, but they are still much higher than the long-term average (of about 300-400) . . . I’m anticipating we will see some decline there, we have over the last few years,” said Neufeld. “Based on what we’re hearing from anglers, catch-rates seem to be declining on the lake and that’s no huge surprise.”
Gerrards and bull trout are very effective predators and the past years’ high numbers of large trout is a significant reason for the kokanee decline. The Gerrard spawning count has seen an “unprecedented increase” in the last decade, with a high of 1,100 in 2012. Prior to 2011 the highest Gerrard count was about 600 with a low of 200 in 2001.
“There is no conservation concern for kokanee, they are not going to go extinct in Kootenay Lake. It’s cer-tainly really low for provid-ing enough food for Gerrard rainbows and bull trout on the lake. They are very effective predators; given the numbers we had in the lake, we think they are just eating themselves out of house and home.”
In the fall of 2013, fish-eries biologists also dis-covered that kokanee were infected with the hemato-poietic necrosis virus (IHN), which can increase the mor-tality rate of hatched fish or fry.

B y T i m e s s T a f fThe Major Midget Kootenay Ice
split a pair of games with the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds in Nelson on the weekend dropping their first game 5-2 Saturday before rebound-ing with a 4-2 win on Sunday.
The Ice’s Tanner Costa scored the winner on Sunday, on an unassisted effort at 12:02 remaining in the third period to give Kootenay a 3-1 lead.
After a scoreless first period, Justin Podgorenko converted an Ellis Junker pass to put the Ice up
1-0, just 38 seconds into the middle frame. Korbyn Chabot would make it 2-0 at 13:19, with assists going to Kadrian Klimchuk and affiliate player Aiden Browell of Fruitvale.
The T-birds would cut the lead to one on a goal from Nate Castonguay at 13:30 but Costa would restore the two-goal cushion 88 seconds later.
Fraser Valley would again draw within one on a power-play goal, after Klimchuk was called for hook-ing with 2:56 remaining in regula-tion. But Trail’s Evan Gorman would
salt it away with an empty netter a minute later.
On Saturday, Trail native Blake Sidoni scored two first-period goals to give the Ice a 2-1 lead but the Thunderbirds would score four unanswered to secure the 5-2 win.
The Kootenay Midget Ice improved their record to 3-13-2 good for ninth spot in the 11-team BC Major Midget League.
The Ice next travel to the coast to take on the Burnaby Winter Club on Saturday and Sunday.

FROM PAGE 9 But studies by MFLNR fish-
eries biologists found that fry from the infected areas were free of IHN, and that Gerrards did not contract the virus.
“We tested Gerrard’s this spring and they were negative so they don’t have IHN,” added Neufeld. “Gerrard rainbows are actually pretty resilient to this strain, so I don’t think IHN is a
concern for Gerrards.” The fisheries focus, says
Neufeld, remains fourfold: to produce as many kokanee as they can from the spawning channels, manage the IHN virus, continue to fertilize Kootenay Lake, and to mon-itor rainbow trout escapement and bull trout numbers on the lake. But until stocks rebound, anglers will have to ride out the
trough and patiently await the crest of Mother Nature’s cycle.
“Angler harvest of Gerrards is reasonably low as a percent-age ever year, so at this point, given the escapement numbers we’re not hugely concerned from a conservation stand-point,” added Neufeld. “But when catch-rates are low, it is tough to run a successful derby.”
IHN virus not a concern for Gerrards

Dear Annie: My sister-in-law and I exchange babysitting for our young children. I have three under the age of 5, and she has two. It is mutu-ally beneficial except for one thing: If the kids break something at her house, she demands that I pay for it. Recently this includ-ed getting her couch professionally cleaned after all of the children, not just mine, drew on it with pens. I was fine with footing the bill, until something at my house was damaged, and her response was to laugh it off and say, “Well, you should have been watching them!”
I do not appreciate the double standard. Is there some kind of rule as to who should pay for the damage? -- Stuck with the Bill No Matter What in Oregon
Dear Stuck: If one child is unusually destructive or breaks something particu-larly valuable, the par-ents should make an
effort to reimburse for damages. However, if all of the children play in roughly the same way, it’s simply the cost of doing busi-ness. Discuss this with your sister-in-law and agree that you either split the costs or no one pays. If necessary, put it in writing.
Dear Annie: I have a severe allergy to cats. I went through a five-year course of allergy shots and take an anti-histamine every day, but I can still have a reaction when visiting the home of a friend with a cat. Many people don’t truly understand how severe the prob-lem is. I would like to make a few sugges-
tions:1. Please don’t be
offended if I ask you about your cats, am hesitant to visit your home or need to leave early. This isn’t person-al. It is a medical issue.
2. Many people vacuum just before an allergic friend arrives. This actually makes the problem worse because it sprays aller-gens into the air that hang suspended for hours. Instead, vacuum hours earlier, and then open all of the windows to air out the house. Consider purchasing a HEPA-filtered vacuum. And please realize that the more people pres-ent the more the aller-gens are stirred up. I am unlikely to want to attend a large party in your home. Again, it’s not personal.
3. Please provide a surface to sit on that has not been previous-ly occupied by the cat. Consider having the visit in an uncarpeted area. And keep the cat confined the whole
time. I know your cat is adorable, but I can’t have it rub against me.
4. I appreciate your invitations to recip-rocate, but I am very uncomfortable in your home. Instead, you can “host” by bringing din-ner to me.
5. If you have an allergic friend or rela-tive and you do not currently have a cat, consider adopting something else. If you get a cat, expect vis-its to your house to diminish. And consider the message you are sending to that friend or relative.
I hope this helps people understand that we cat-allergic people are just trying to main-tain friendships the best we can. It would be a lovely gesture if our friends could accommodate this one part of who we are that is so inconvenient. -- Trying My Best
Dear Trying: We know some folks will decide you are too much trouble to
accommodate. But for those who value these relationships, this will help them understand how difficult and dan-gerous it is for you to be exposed to cats. We like the idea of friends bringing dinner to your place (or maybe inviting you to join
them at a restaurant) to reciprocate. We hope they will.
Dear Annie: The let-ter from “Unforgiven,” who inadvertently left her brother’s stepson out of her father’s obituary, touched my heart.
May I suggest that
she offer to publish an anniversary notice in the newspaper, in which the stepson is not only mentioned, but invited to partici-pate in writing? If that doesn’t soothe the sis-ter-in-law, there’s more to the issue. -- Sheila in Massachusetts

Leisure
For Friday, Nov. 28, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don’t push the river today, because today has its minor challenges. Just go with the flow and keep a positive attitude. You work best under pressure any-how. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Discussions with author-ity figures -- parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police -- will be challenging today. If possible, avoid these peo-ple today, especially if you have to ask for permission or approval. (You won’t get it.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Do not be discouraged if others are critical of you today, especially because of something that happened in your personal life. Is this really any of their business? CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Travel plans look bleak
today. That’s OK; wait for another day to explore these possibilities. This same advice applies to higher education, medicine and the law. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might be disappoint-ed in your share of some-thing, because this is a poor day to decide how to deal with inheritances or jointly held property. Forewarned is forearmed. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Dealings with others are a bit prickly today, espe-cially those who are closest to you. What gives? Well, people are tight-fisted, cau-tious and critical (a scary combo!). LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This can be a mildly challenging day at your job, especially when deal-ing with women. People are critical and not easily pleased. Just accept this and tread water.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Be patient with family members today, because dif-ficulties with female rela-tives are likely. People are a bit uptight and stiff with each other. Tiptoe carefully. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a poor day to make suggestions or present your case, because you are not confident; you have doubts. Therefore, postpone any-
thing important until next week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Financial matters are not entirely clear today. Something or someone might be holding you back. If possible, do not act. Wait until next week to make your move. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a poor day to dis-cuss finances or anything
important at work. People are judgmental. Quite like-ly, someone will block what-ever you want to do. Yikes. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Some days are easy, and some days are hard. Unfortunately, this is one of the hard days. Just grin and bear it. It’s over quickly. In fact, this weekend is quite lovely. YOU BORN TODAY You are intense, emotion-
ally sensitive and physical in your approach to life. You have humor, joy and loyalty to your friends. You vigor-ously defend your ideas, but these can change as you grow. This year is the begin-ning of a fresh, new nine-year cycle for you. Open any door! Start a new business activity. Birthdate of: Jon Stewart, TV host/political satirist; S. Epatha Merkerson, actress; Paul Shaffer, musician.
