An unexpected summons to the principal's office can give any high schooler the jitters.

After the call turned out to be a surprising windfall for two Grade 8 students, the jitters turned into high fives all around the school's office.

Ashley Quigley and Rayanna Miskulin were each presented with a ticket to this year's Grey Cup game and seats to the BC Lions Skills for Life Summit in Vancouver the following day.

“We got called down and I was so scared wondering 'What did I do?'” said Miskulin. “When Ms. Jones explained to us what we were in the office for, I started jumping around I was so excited.”

The girls were chosen from 147 Grade 8 J.L. Crowe Secondary students over a five-day vetting process that included input from all their current teachers and past grade school teachers.

Quigley and Miskulin have proven leader-ship merits, a good report card status and posi-

tive attendance records at Crowe and Webster Elementary and Fruitvale Elementary schools respectively.

“Our school won the opportunity to send two students to the Grey Cup game,” explained counsellor Loretta Jones. “We had a list of Grade 8's narrowed down to 18 students and these girls emerged as the top candidates.

“Their families should be very proud of them and the school is certainly very proud of them and what they will learn from this experience.”

Jones, who is the trip's chaperone, said cre-ating leaders within the school through oppor-tunities such as the summit supports Crowe's mandate for promoting positive school climate and culture.

“We look forward to them returning to JL Crowe and sharing their knowledge with us,” she added.

The summit brings together students in grades 6 to 8 from each school district across the province to participate in a one-day event.

It's fixed, it's too expensive and it's just a beauty pageant.

Those are the top three fallacies Michelle Epp is hearing about the Trail Ambassador Program this season.

Since Epp took over what used to be called the Miss Trail pageant, there's never been a shortage of young women ready to partake in the program's 2009 “this ain't no beauty pageant” revamp.

This fall it's been dif-ferent. Only three girls have come forward to be part of the six-month training sessions that include community service commitments, physical activities,

speech writing and public speaking engagements.“I am convinced there's too many misconcep-

tions,” said Epp, herself a former Miss Trail. “The worst is hearing that people think it's fixed. That's very hurtful.”

Another is that parents think the program is going to cost a lot of money, she explained, add-ing that there is no fee to join and events such as Cinderella's Closet help reduce the cost of formal wear for the Silver City Days pageant.

“Having kids in sports and other activities is expensive so I think parents assume the program will cost a bunch of money,” she said.

“There's no cost. And it's not about wearing heels and dresses and being girly girl. It's about empowering the girls.”

Ella Meyer, Trail's current queen, reminds potential candidates that local organizations sponsor the girls and contribute $500 toward the cost of outfits and other incidentals.

She and Trail Princess Samantha Theobold have been actively campaigning for weeks, but so far their message about the program's benefits is falling on deaf ears.

“We also hear that the time commitment is a problem,” said Theobold. “But this year the training is only on one day, Sunday. And it's scheduled later in the day so it doesn't interfere with church.”

There's one other factor that Theobold men-tioned could be deterring some girls from run-ning, which is the influence of social media.

Shopping local for holiday gifts is worth every cent.

Especially with so many of the area's tal-ented artisans offer-ing unique wares at the VISAC gallery in downtown Trail.

Small Treasures Fine Art & Crafts for Christmas opens today and runs four days a week until Dec. 19.

There's plenty of one-of-a-kind gift ideas including knit-wear and crochet, ceramic flatware, dec-orative knick knacks, Christmas decor, paintings and photog-raphy prints.

The newest VISAC member, Renee Kyle, is a multi media artist who recently landed in Trail after years of liv-ing on Canada's east and west coasts before she crossed the pond to Europe for eight years.

She found her place in the Kootenays by settling in Creston for a few years. But a job with Trail Association

for Community Living, had Kyle moving to the city and bringing her remarkable talent for three dimensional sculpture, ceramics and painting to the local art scene.

Kyle says she's just beginning to find her-self in Trail art com-munity, because at first she wasn't even sure there was one.

“I was involved in the art community in Creston and like Trail, you had to look for it,” she explained. “But once you find it, you realize it is very much alive and vibrant.”

Her paintings, which are done in acrylics and acrylic mediums for tex-ture and depth, are included in the Small Treasures show.

However, her usual medium is a composi-tion of found objects that are formed into eclectic doll sculpture.

“Sometimes I have to stop whatever I am doing and create a doll,” said Kyle. “I use whatever material I have at hand because

they don't seem to want to wait.”

Her first for-mal training was an Intuitive Doll Making workshop in Calgary, although she refers to her pieces as figures or mixed media sculp-ture.

The dolls are deeply personal and not for sale, explained Kyle, though she has given them away and donat-ed one to the Art Trot fundraiser in Creston.

“My paintings are also full of meaning, but not quite so inti-

mate,” she said, add-ing that the pieces in VISAC's Christmas show were produced since moving to Trail. “I will be putting the paintings in the Small Treasures show to see what people think and to share what I do. If they sell, I will be happy to be helping VISAC.”

The art studio is located in the base-ment of the Greater Trail Community Centre with direct entrance on Helena Street.

Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and to 6 p.m. Thursdays.

For more informa-tion, call 364.1181 or visit visacgallery.com.

FROM PAGE 1“We are ambassadors representing the

city,” said Theobold. “So, we have to be careful about pictures and things that are put out on Facebook.”

Cheyanne Friess, a current BC Ambassador and Miss Trail 2013, maintains that a common misconception is that the Trail Ambassador Program only focuses on the materialistic side of pageants.

“While we do have gown modelling, it is to showcase confidence and poise,” she said. “The program is a safe haven for girls to grow and become confident at their own pace.”

Besides the age-old myth that the program only focuses on beauty, Epp has heard girls say they are too shy to talk in front of strangers, let

alone walk across a well lit stage.“These are the girls we want to work with

because they get the most out of it,” she added.Friess is a shining example of how the pro-

gram supports teenaged girls build esteem, self assurance and faith in oneself.

“I went from being so shy I couldn’t even order a pizza over the phone,” she recalled. “Now I am someone who can speak in front of a crowd of strangers.”

Although Friess admits she still gets butter-flies before putting herself in the limelight, her time spent in the Trail Ambassador Program was worth every moment.

“But without the experience, I wouldn’t be who I am today so I am truly thankful I took the plunge.”

FROM PAGE 1The gathering will be hosted

by BC Lions players, who will hit on topics like erasing bul-lying, the impacts of gender violence and mental health issues, plus the power of posi-tive choices.

During the first few months of high school, the girls admit to being overwhelmed by hall-ways packed with older stu-dents and high school culture in general.

“I was scared and nervous at first,” said Quigley, while Miskulin nodded in agree-ment. “But we’ve gotten into the groove, and now we hope

to bring back ideas from the summit.”

With the Grey Cup still over a week away, (Nov. 30) the teenagers are already plan-ning what to pack for their trip, which includes a plane ticket to Vancouver, accommodations at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel, and SkyTrain fare to and from the stadium.

Miskulin is looking forward to revisiting the city and see-ing the 102nd football cham-pionship live. And she predicts it’ll be the Montreal Alouettes or the Edmonton Eskimos will hoist the Cup.

But like most teenagers,

what she is most anticipating is shopping in the metropolis.

Quigley, on the other hand, has never travelled to the coast so she’s ready for the bright lights and big city adventure.

“It’s going to be a new expe-rience, and my Mom is so excit-ed for me. She said this is some-thing I cannot miss.”

The BC Skills for Life Summit takes place at the Richmond Olympic Oval. The event provides an opportunity to tour WorkBC’s Find Your Fit, a hands-on session to help with career planning and leadership role playing called ‘Be More Than A Bystander.’

Trail's new taxi service is only a couple of weeks old, but has already had a positive effect on local business.

Trail Taxi can be seen around town picking up and dropping off customers and Ferraro Foods has the new company's phone ringing off the hook.

Danny Ferraro from the popu-lar local grocery store says the new business, an extension of the Creston Cab Company, is a vital service for his customers and is in high demand.

“Some days we call 20 times, but I would say on average, at least two or three times a day,” he said.

“Some days are busier than oth-ers, but it is all about the seniors who don't have licenses anymore. That is who it has really impacted. I think we needed this service and I think they are doing a great job. I haven't heard one complaint.”

Jeff Boag, owner of The Arlington Bar and Grill, says in his case, no news from customers is good news.

“I haven't had any calls saying, 'I want to come to the bar, but I can't get down there,'” he said. “I haven't heard a thing and that is good in my books.”

Ken Parker owns the Creston

Cab company and the vehicles in Castlegar and Trail and he says everything has been running smoothly.

“We have invested in vehicles in all those places, and I think that everything is going great,” he said.

“Some good news is that we have been able to employ the past drivers that were employed at (Champion Cabs) and they say they are happy to work for us.”

As with any new business, there is a bit of a learning curve before everything is set in place, and Parker says the one issue that has come up has to do with changes in procedure.

“The way we would like (paper-work) done is different than the way the (drivers) have done it before,” he said. “It is just a bit of fine tuning.”

The company is already expand-ing its service in Castlegar and has the licensing set up to add another vehicle to Trail in the future.

“We are approved to have two vehicles in Trail, two in Castlegar and two in Creston,” he said. “We are in the midst of putting in a second one in Castlegar because we have contracts with Canada Post there. We are already approved (for a second vehicle in Trail) and get-ting a licensed vehicle wouldn't be difficult.”

A Trail watchdog program is headed in the right direction. But there's always further to go because health-wise – no lead is good lead.

The Trail Area Health & Environment Committee (THEC) presented results from this fall's blood lead testing clinic Tuesday, and keeping with the ongoing trend, the average blood lead level in toddlers is on the decline.

Results from 119 children, aged six to 36 months in Trail and Rivervale, tested an average 4.3 µg/dL (micrograms per decilitre) compared to last year's 4.9 ug/dL.

Overall, 89 per cent of the youngsters tested were below THEC's mandate of 10 ug/dL. Those results mean the program is within striking distance of its 2015 goal of an average of 4 µg/dL and 95 per cent of children testing below 10 µg/dL.

“There's nothing magical about

the 10 ug/dL range and there's nothing magical about five,” noted Dr. Robert Parker, Medical Health Officer with Interior Health. “But we know that nobody needs lead in their body and it's not helpful in anyway. Science keeps coming in showing that even low lev-els can have subtle neurological effects in children, so the goal is to continue reducing lead levels.”

He acknowledged that some children test as low as one or two and others in the six to 10 range, which is the reason THEC tests that demographic each year.

If a child does show serum lead in the higher range, public health and a team of community-led ser-vices, follow up with the family to suggest modifications to effec-tively lower the blood lead count.

Simple changes such as more frequent hand washing can help although there are cases requir-ing more complex interventions like certain home renovations and soil remediation.

Lead testing shows positive results

LeaderMayor Wayne

Wright will get a $50,000 parting gift

from the city for los-ing last Saturday’s election.

Under a policy approved by council in 2010, Wright will be eligible for a separa-tion allowance equal to a tenth of his annual salary for every year he’s served. Since he’s been mayor for 12 years that works

out to about $50,000 said New Westminster human resources dir-ector Joan Burgess.

Coun. Betty McIntosh, who decided not to run for reelec-tion after spending 15 years on council, is eligible for approxi-mately $20,000. Tax will be deducted from the payouts.

The allowances are capped at 12 years, said Burgess. That means even if Wright was re-elected he would not have been eligible for any more money than he will receive now when his term ended four years from now.

Burgess said the separation allowances are common amongst municipalities in the province since munici-pal elected officials do not receive a pension for their service while staff do.

Former councillor Bob Osterman, who was defeated in 2011, was the first to receive the allowance.

Burgess said the city accounts for the possibility of payouts when it’s an election year.

“We would ensure it’s part of a budget-ing process that we are aware when an elec-tion comes up that an outcome could be that we’re going to pay out some severance,” said Burgess.

A slot machine user at Penticton Lake City Casino got more than they bar-gained for upon hitting a jackpot.

According to Aly Couch, media relations for the B.C. Lotto Corporation, on Jan. 20 a slot machine that was supposed to have a max-imum payout of $1,000 erroneously displayed a jackpot of $99,999.97.

“BCLC reached a settle-ment agreement with the player as a customer service gesture. In this particular case, BCLC could verify that a jackpot had occurred but was unable to confirm that the amount was anything other than what had dis-played on the screen,” said Couch.

“Accordingly, BCLC determined that the appro-priate course of action was to pay the erroneously dis-played prize and was subse-quently able to collect the prize amount from the slot machine manufacturer.”

The player received the jackpot on the Diamond Point progressive slot machine.

Couch said the machine was immediately placed out of service while the matter was investigated.

The Gaming Control Act, BCLC’s regulator, the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch was notified of the malfunc-tion.

Out of caution, all 189 Diamond Point progressive slot machines, which are linked to form one large progressive jackpot, were put out of service.

The manufacturer deter-mined that the hardware and software controlling communication between the machines was at issue.

Upon review, 20 con-trollers, managing 152 machines around the prov-ince, were capable of the identified fault.

However, none of these had the circumstances where they experienced a malfunction. By mid-Feb-ruary the malfunctioning hardware and software were replaced and the machines put back into service.

Penticton Lake City Casino was contacted for further comment but declined.

VICTORIA – B.C. gov-ernment liquor stores are losing their wholesale price advantage next spring, but will also have the option of opening Sundays and even-ings with chilled offerings to help them compete with private stores.

The change to a single wholesale price for every product takes effect April 1, the same date B.C. is per-mitting private or govern-ment liquor sales in separ-ate facilities inside grocery stores.

Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the change is to create a “level playing field” for liquor retailing in B.C., after pri-vate store operators com-plained that the existing sys-tem gave government stores an unfair price advantage.

Currently the Liquor Distribution Branch, the government monopoly wholesaler, sells products to government stores at cost and sets a minimum price for all retailers. The whole-sale price for private retail stores is 16 per cent less than that retail price, rural agency stores pay 12 per cent less, and stores that

sell only B.C. wine get a 30 per cent discount.

A new wholesale price structure for the thousands of products sold in liquor stores will be the same for all retailers, set to retain the $1 billion in revenues the province takes in annu-ally from liquor sales. Anton said she doesn’t expect sub-stantial changes in retail prices.

The B.C. Government Employees Union, repre-senting government liquor store staff, welcomed the Sunday openings and increased hours to help their stores compete.

“The move to a single wholesale price will only be in the public interest if it protects and expands over time provincial revenue,” said BCGEU president Stephanie Smith.

Premier Christy Clark said the government’s liquor policy review showed “people really like their government liquor stores” because of the wide selec-tion and well-trained staff. Clark agreed with Smith that government stores are well positioned to compete with private outlets, which are generally not unionized and pay lower wages.

Renza Venturini

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SMike Nichols, the director of matchless versa-

tility who brought fierce wit, caustic social com-mentary and wicked absurdity to such films, TV and stage hits as “The Graduate,” ”Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf,“ ”Angels in America“ and ”Monty Python’s Spamalot,“ has died. He was 83.

The death was confirmed by ABC News President James Goldston on Thursday. Nichols died Wednesday evening.

The family will hold a private service this week; a memorial will be held at a later date, Goldston said.

During a career spanning more than 50 years, Nichols, who was married to ABC’s Diane Sawyer, managed to be both an insider and outsider, an occasional White House guest and friend to countless celebrities who was as likely to satirize the elite as he was to mingle with them. A former stand-up performer who began his career in a groundbreaking comedy duo with Elaine May and whose work brought him an Academy Award, a Grammy and multiple Tony and Emmy honours, Nichols had a remarkable gift for mixing edgy humour and dusky drama.

“No one was more passionate than Mike,” Goldston wrote in an email announcing Nichols’ death.

Meryl Streep, whose films for Nichols includ-ed “Silkwood” and “Heartburn,” said he was “an inspiration and joy to know, a director who cried when he laughed ... an indelible, irreplaceable man.”

Director Steven Spielberg called Nichols “a friend, a muse, a mentor, one of America’s all-time greatest film and stage directors.”

And Tom Hanks, who starred in Nichols’ “Charlie Wilson’s War,” quoted him as say-ing, “Forward! We must always move forward. Otherwise, what will become of us?”

OPINION

Checking out of checkout charitiesIt’s becoming increas-

ingly common, it has a tremendous cap-acity for doing good

and about 75 per cent of Canadians, according to polls, dislike it.

What am I talking about? Checkout char-ity — the practice that some retailers use to col-lect donations to support charities of their choos-ing.

Would you like to round up your purchase to the next dollar? Would you like to add $2 to your total bill? Would you like to buy a package of books for $10/$20/$30 that we will donate to a school/literacy program/library?

It all seems innocuous enough. Who doesn’t want to spend a few extra cents or a couple of bucks and walk out the door feel-ing well, uh, charitable? Lots of people, it seems, and many more than I would have guessed. I’ll admit to being one who has never really objected to the practice.

I have stood behind people in a checkout line and heard people, often quite indignantly, say no. My first response has been to think of them as cheap.

Or grouchy. Or downright selfish. More recently, though, I have become more sympathetic. Why should someone be put in the position of saying no to making a charit-able donation when they set out from home to buy groceries or a prescrip-tion or any other item? How smart is it for a busi-ness to put customers in a situation that they might actually find humiliating?

A number of years ago I was offended when a business sponsored a toonie toss or some such thing at a hockey game, all net proceeds going to a charity of that busi-ness’s choice. And then they fully expected to have employees pictured in a photo, making a “dona-tion” to the charity. The photo would be con-sidered “news” of course, and the newspaper would not charge to run it.

What I couldn’t under-stand, and still don’t, is why the business was so eager to take the credit for a donation that was made by people who had already paid to attend the hockey game. Their staff may (or may not, I don’t remember) have pitched

in to pick up toonies from the ice, but the net cost to the business was zilch. Pretty good little scam, I thought. Get other people to make donations and then take the credit.

There is absolutely no question about the sham-ing value in asking cus-tomers to make donations at a checkout. W

hen I am in another town or city and am faced with the question I don’t even hesitate to say no. Not my community. Not my charity. I’m just here to make a purchase. But it’s an altogether different situation when I am faced with the decision here in town. It is my commun-ity. I know most of the checkout clerks. Chances are good that I know the

customer behind me and even better that he or she knows who I am.

So now I am making a choice not based sim-ply on whether or not I happen to share the busi-ness’s enthusiasm for a particular charity, but on how my decision might be perceived by others.

I have considered mak-ing it my personal policy not to donate at all, ever, to checkout charity requests. Why not create an extension to food writ-er Michael Pollan’s adage that says, “Don’t buy your food where you buy your gas.” Good advice, I think, so why not make an addendum: “And don’t make your charitable donations where you buy your food.” But that would eliminate supporting any of the many organizations that set up tables to sell raffle tickets or a myriad of items to raise funds.

Do I want to include them in my new axiom? Probably not.

Walking past a table and ignoring the fund-raisers or shaking your head no is slightly dif-ferent than being caught between a rock (the cash-ier) and a hard place (the

customer in line behind me). Besides, it’s easy enough to plan a route that allows one to com-pletely avoid those tables. Avoiding checkouts and ducking out the door without paying for goods is frowned upon, even if you think you have a good excuse.

It’s hard to simply dismiss out of hand the checkout charity practice. I’ve been involved with enough fundraisers to know what a struggle it is to sustain non-profit groups and pay for the many, many good works they undertake.

But if I was running a business that used the practice while knowing that a large percentage of customers don’t like it, I’d be concerned. If the business was committed to matching the donations of its customers, I’d be much more likely to find checkout charity some-thing to consistently sup-port. And that might just be a key factor for me in the future?

Put your money where my hand is.

Canada is becoming a nation of fear. Threat is lurking everywhere. But the source is

not terrorism. The fear now haunting Canada is a creeping and insidious sense of unease that has been rising almost unnoticed for a decade. It is now infecting the mood of the whole country.

Much of this fear is invented and unjustified, manufactured for political purposes. The Russians are going to claim the natural resources of our country’s Arctic so we need a strong and resolute national government to protect our interests.

Crime is making Canada a dangerous place to live – even though statistics show the crime rate has been fall-ing for decades, attributed almost exclusively to fewer youth as our demographics shift to an aging population. Addiction, of course, is pro-filed as destroying society so the perennially ineffective “war on drugs” must be inten-sified, punishment increased, incarceration mandatory, and socially beneficial injection facilities such as Vancouver’s In-Site subjected to exhaustive government legal challenges. An economically vulnerable Canada must rush to finalize those few multinational trade agreements that are still avail-able. And any celebration or declaration of war, together with any publicity about a lurking enemy, always raises the level of useful fear.

The fear eroding Canadian comfort is difficult to articu-late because it is the grad-ual accumulation of multiple events. In Parliament, it has been the cavalier use of pro-rogation, the omnibus bills that prevent the adequate examination of hidden legisla-tion, the unprecedented clos-ure on important debates, the so-called “Fair Elections Act”

that makes a mockery of both “fair” and “elections”, the evisceration of the Fisheries Act, and the wholesale gut-ting of the country’s other environmental safeguards. Related to these events are the hidden layers of the Senate scandal and the robo-call

fiasco threaten-ing the electoral process itself. Meanwhile, the g o v e r n m e n t ’ s numerous failed appeals to the Supreme Court suggest that only an apolit-ical judiciary stands between Canada’s Charter and enacted laws that contradict

Canadians’ rights and free-doms.

Fear also haunts civil ser-vants. Any escaped and uncon-trolled information is deemed dangerous to a government that is attempting to micro-manage message and image. Federally employed scientists are muzzled, their interviews curtailed, their movements supervised, their communica-tion with the press carefully vetted, their scientific con-clusions adjusted to be more ideologically appropriate, and their collaboration with other scientists handicapped by implicit or explicit censure.

In federal ministries, the climate of anxiety and threat is so pervasive that employ-ees are afraid to discuss their work, to innovate, or to devi-ate from explicit managerial directions.

Closed research facilities and libraries create fear by propagating ignorance. Even librarians of federal institu-tions are fearful of speaking openly lest they divulge know-ledge or opinion that conflicts with official objectives.

An atmosphere of stringent control from the political top to the bottom of civil servants has now created sufficient intimidation that the result is self-censure, contagious fear and oppressive silence – a model demonstration of fear’s

political usefulness. As for the public, innocu-

ous non-profit organizations such as bird-watchers are being monitored to ensure they don’t engage in political activity incompatible with the current government’s agenda. Canada’s spy agency has been collaborating with industry to thwart protesters who might object to federally sanctioned projects such as Alberta’s oil sands and its associated pipe-lines of Northern Gateway, Trans Mountain and Keystone XL.

The National Energy Board has been granted powers to promote these projects by overriding provincial, city and municipal laws. In the process, the NEB has set evi-dence parameters that are so dysfunctionally narrow as to prevent an adequate examina-tion of the “public interest”, has allowed the proponents to avoid answering pertin-ent questions, and has com-pounded its conspicuous bias by eliminating the critical cross-examination of evi-dence.

A government that pursues power for power’s sake manu-factures fear. When power is its only objective, such a gov-ernment becomes paranoid, devious and ruthless, so anx-ious for its own survival that it spreads its fear everywhere, so fixated on its own security that it is incapable of recog-nizing or responding to the real fears haunting Canadians.

The principal fear now seems to be environmental, a deep and creeping dread that is casting doubt and contro-versy on almost everything we are attempting to accomplish in this country.

When this dread is not addressed or even recognized, people become restive, trust erodes, confidence falters, institutions are questioned, laws are challenged, social order is shaken, and the fear feeds more fear.

Trail & District Churches

Sponsored by the Churches of Trail and area and

Denotes Wheelchair Accessible

The opinions expressed in this advertising space are provided by Greater Trail Area Churches on a rotational basis.

Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.

“Grace to you and peace ... from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the � rstborn from the dead, and ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood ... to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen” (Rev. 1:4-6 NKJV).

This is the beginning of the book of Revelation, which begins as a circular letter to the seven Churches of Asia. This letter is from John who wishes the Churches of Asia grace and peace from Christ who has risen from the dead and has saved us by his blood, which “washed us from our sins” (Rev. 1:5 NKJV). He “loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood” (Rev. 1:5 NKJV).

Here brie� y stated we have the basic soteriology (the doctrine of salvation) of the New Testament; namely that in the death of Christ on the cross our sins are taken from us. Christ came to save us from our sins, because we cannot free ourselves from the burden of guilt for our sins that depresses our spirit. “Who can say, ‘I have made my heart clean; I am pure from my sin’?” (Prov. 20:9). No one can say this. Only God can do this for us, and he can only do it justly, as is � tting and necessary for an all-just God, by suffering himself the just and necessary punishment for our sins. And this he did by dying on the cross. “Christ died for our sins” (1 Cor. 15:3).

It is the mission of the Church to proclaim this good news (gospel) to all the peoples of the world, for all need to hear and believe this good news, since no one can save himself from the burden of his own sins. No one can forgive himself and free himself from his crippling and depressing guilt. Only God can do this for us, and he does it through the death of Christ on the cross, when we put our faith in him (John 3:16, 36).

It was for this reason that Christ came into the world, and he sent his apostles to preach this saving message to all the peoples and nations of the world. It is the Lamb of God, Christ, who saved us by his blood shed for our sins on the cross. O Lamb of God, “You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation” (Rev. 5:9 NKJV). God wants us to preach this so that all can experience the fullness of salvation that he sent into the world in his Son, for without knowing and believing this, people live is sadness and fear of what will happen to them after death.

The saints who are now in heaven are those who “have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb” (Rev. 7:14). Through their faith, Christ’s death has cleansed them from their sins. “You were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers ... with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot” (1 Pet. 1:18-19). A ransom price was paid to God, the blood of Christ on the cross, in reparation for our sins, and this is applied to us when we believe in him and invoke his saving death. “For if the sprinkling of de� led persons with the blood of goats and bulls ... sancti� es for the puri� cation of the � esh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God” (Heb. 9:13-14).

It is the message about this salvation in his blood that Christ has sent us to proclaim to all the peoples of the world in all the languages of the earth. He sent us to do this when he said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15 NKJV). To do this is the essence and heart of the mission of the Church to the world.

The legalization of physician-assisted sui-cide is before the Supreme Court of Canada. According to a 2014 survey, 84% of Canadians agree “a doctor should be

able to help someone end their life if the per-son is a competent adult who is terminally ill, suffering unbearably and repeatedly asks for assistance to die.”

While the push to legal-ize physician-assisted suicide has Canadians passionately debating the right to die and what it means to die with dig-nity, the debate has had little effect in motivating those who are healthy to prepare for their own eventual death.

Research indicates that most people are fearful of suffering during the dying process. I think we communicate this fear subconsciously through actions that let us believe we can cheat death. These actions are not necessarily bad, and may even motivate us to continue living life to our fullest, but they do nothing to ease the way into death or make our dying easier for those we love.

One way we may communicate our fear of dying is to pretend that we are not getting older, obsessing over aging, or jealously guarding our independence, symbolized in our reluctance to surrender our driver’s license, or downsizing.

We avoid taking practical steps to make our death and dying easier for others. Only 56% of adult Canadians have a signed will, and less than 29% have appointed a power of attorney; fewer have designated a substitute decision-maker for health matters. We are highly unlikely to preplan our funeral, even though 75% of us believe doing so would make things easier for our family.

Even our spiritual preparation for death can be limited to our last days when our families seek out the appropriate individual to administer the rites of the dying according to our traditions.

We think we have lots of time to prepare our-selves to meet our maker and to get our affairs in order, even though death is the one thing in life of which we can be certain.

The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association, partly in response to the public dis-cussion about euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide, has a suggestion that can help us prepare for death and dying. It recommends that we start talking about end-of-life issues with our family, friends and health-care providers, and suggests that individuals create an Advanced Care Plan (ACP) that will provide direction for our care when the time comes. An ACP is comprehensive plan that can help us live life until its natural conclusion; it is not a sign up sheet for assisted suicide.

While the public discourse has Canadians talk-ing about the death and dying of a small minor-ity, most of us skirt around the topic of our own mortality. I know that I do. The conversations I have with others about death are largely super-ficial. We talk about avoiding suffering, and want to die in our sleep after a long, healthy and happy life. And, should we become decrepit or senile, we joke about telling our kids to “just shoot me”, which really is not much of a plan when it comes to preparing for death and dying.

‘Just shoot me’ is not a plan

T h e N e l s o N s T a rOn the heels of

its 40th anniversary celebration, Kaslo’s Langham Cultural Centre has been named a runner-up in the Architecture Foundation of BC’s Best Buildings contest.

The contest, which marked 100 years of architecture as a pro-fession in BC, received more than 450 nom-inations. People were then invited to vote online for their favour-ites in four regions, including the interior. The top 25 in each cat-egory were then for-warded to a panel of judges to assess their “appearance, senti-mental value, histor-ical significance and originality.”

The judges were BC artist and herit-age expert Michael Kluckner, journal-ist Shelley Fralic, and Architecture Foundation chair David M. Hewitt.

In the interior category, the winner was Seabird Island School in Agassiz, and the runners-up were the Fernie court-house and Langham Cultural Centre. The judges remarked that the Langham was the “only nominated site recalling the Japanese-Canadian internment during the Second World War.”

The Langham was erected in 1896-97 by

bottling works propri-etor Charles Kapps and was home to a bank and rooming house. During the Second World War, it was con-verted into an intern-ment centre and was home to about 80 fam-ilies.

By 1974, it was on the verge of demoli-tion when a local group saw its potential and restored it. In the words of its nominator, Nicola Harte, whose parents were among those who saved it, “To this day it plays a vital role as a cultural arts centre throughout the West Kootenay sup-porting regional and national professional artists, as well as emer-ging Columbia Basin artists.”

It also houses two galleries, a theatre, and museum. The Langham, which won Heritage Canada’s national prize in 1977, recently marked its 40th anniversary as a cultural hub with a gala weekend that reunited many of its

founders.“We are thrilled

to be celebrated by the Architecture Foundation of BC as one of BC’s best build-ings,” said Langham executive director Maggie Tchir. “We concur! The Langham is not only a beauti-

ful old heritage build-ing with an interesting history, but it inspired a vision which grew and continues to grow into a legacy of four decades and counting, of support for the arts, heritage and culture in Kaslo and throughout the region.”

Oh those darn corporations and their tax breaks.

But wait, before all corporations are tarred and feathered, per-haps some enlighten-

ment about Canadian Controlled Private Corporations (CCPC) is warranted.

The definition. If a corporation

meets all of the fol-lowing criteria, then

it qualifies by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as a CCPC. The cor-poration must be incorporated and resi-dent in Canada, and not be controlled dir-ectly or indirectly by a non-resident, a public-ly traded company, or a Canadian company that lists its shares on a foreign exchange. And it must not have any class of its own shares traded on any stock exchange.

The break. As a qualified

CCPC, CRA allows a small business deduc-tion applicable to the first $500,000 of gross active income – “active” meaning rev-enues generated by conducting business activities, not rental or investment income the business may be paid or earn. By only allowing active income

to qualify, the govern-ment ensures that the business is producing something for the economy.

The tax break comes in the form of a lower tax rate levied on the first 500k of revenue. Rather than the nor-mal 26% federal and provincial combined corporate tax rate, for a CCPC in BC the first 500k of active income is taxed at a rate of 13.5%, third in line to Saskatchewan’s 13% and Manitoba’s leading 11%. In addition, BC’s

tax rate applicable to revenue above 500k is among the lowest of all provinces at 22%.

The benefit.Arguably, the lower

CCPC tax rate is not only good for small businesses everywhere in Canada but the ranking of BC’s tax rates relative to the rest of Canada makes for favourable business activity and growth in BC itself.

Perhaps more to the point, without this small business tax break a small business owner would remit nearly double in tax. Instead, the additional

cash left in the busi-ness yields the oppor-tunity for expanding the business, or in some years it’s the difference between remaining open or closing – a stark real-ity for far too many businesses.

In addition to the business tax break for a CCPC, there are also tax advantages for the shareholders of the company.

One of these tax advantages is that a CCPC can pay divi-dends to the share-holders that are more favourably taxed than wages, although this

tax advantage has recently been reduced by government.

Another tax advan-tage occurs upon the sale of a CCPC. The CCPC shares qualify under the lifetime cap-ital gains exemption so when the owner sells, up to half of $800,000 in capital gain – his or her blood, sweat and tears if you will – is tax free, available for spending, investing and maybe even retir-ing.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - The Harper govern-

ment passed up conducting its own internal analysis on the job-creation potential of its $550-million small-business job credit, relying instead on numbers produced by an interest group, the finance minister said.

Joe Oliver told the parliamentary finance committee Ottawa’s decision to introduce the measure was based on the research of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business has estimat-ed the credit would create 25,000 person-years of employment over the next several years. A position that employs a worker for one year amounts to one “person-year.”

But Canada’s parliamentary budget office argued the credit will create only 800 net new jobs in 2015-16, while a freeze in employ-ment insurance premiums could cost the economy 10,000 jobs.

Ottawa skipped internal study on job credit

The Trail Smoke Eaters embark on their final journey to Vancouver Island this season looking for a three-game sweep as they get set to face the Cowichan Valley Capitals, the Nanaimo Clippers, and Victoria Grizzlies on the weekend.

“We are looking for six points,” said Smokies coach Nick Deschenes. “We are going to start with the first game and go from there. We took four-of-six in the last swing in that part of the world, so we have to have these points and the group is capable I think.”

Trail is coming off a couple of crucial home wins against Victoria and Coquitlam and will look to extend that streak against

Cowichan on Friday. The Capitals are mired in the basement of the Island div-ision with a 4-17-0-1 record and are led offensively by former Smoke Eater Kyle Horsman with 12 goals and 17 points on the season. The 20-year-old played 40 games for the Smokies in 2011-12 netting three goals and four assists that season. His production this year almost equals the 22 points he put up in his previous cam-paign accounting for almost one quarter of the Caps 53 goals scored this season.

At the top end of the spectrum is the Clippers who lead the Island division with a 16-7-0-0 record and are second overall in the league with 32 points. Trail plays Nanaimo on Saturday, a team that has scored more goals, 104, than any team in

the league and have six scorers with 20 or more points. The Clips are led by high flying forwards Sheldon Rempal, Jacob Jackson, and Brendan Taylor who have 29, 28, and 27 points respectively.

Trail will then face Victoria on Sunday a team they beat 10-4 last Friday at the Cominco Arena. However, Victoria is com-ing off an impressive 5-4 victory over Nanaimo on Wednesday as they move to 9-8-0-4 and pull within three points of third place Powell River.

The Smokies meanwhile are led by Charlie Zuccarini, 14-12-26, who picked up three goals and two assists in the two wins, including the double-overtime win-ner in the 4-3 victory over Coquitlam Saturday.

Adam Todd and Dallas Calvin will return to the line up, but just as the Smoke Eaters look to be healthy, the Smokies lose Craig Martin and Brian Basilico to injury.

With their next win, the Smoke Eaters will surpass their 10-win total from all of last year, and despite a vast improvement, Trail still finds itself in sixth spot in the Interior division, but will look to make up ground on the Island this weekend.

“Our focus is to be in the playoffs, which (means) it’s going to be beaten for sure, that’s what your goal is,” said Deschenes. “I still think we are better than our record says, and i think there is more potential to play better and accomplish more.”

The Smokies next home game goes Nov. 28 against the West Kelowna Warriors.

A Century of Hockey Canada wouldn’t be possible without the millions of volunteers who dedicate their time and efforts to making minor hockey a success throughout the country, and Canadian Tire in partnership with Hockey Canada is recognizing those people on a local level dur-ing the year-long cross-country tour.

On Wednesday, Trail Canadian Tire owner Craig Lattanville presented Greater Trail Minor Hockey Association treasurer Brenda Butlin with the Canadian Tire Hero of Play award at the Century of Hockey caravan at the Trail Memorial Centre.

“It’s an honour,” said Butlin. “There is a need for people to be volunteering, especially people without children in the system.”

Amidst the high-tech interactive displays, video screens, and 100 years of hockey arti-facts, organizers from Hockey Canada introduced Butlin and presented her with a Hockey Canada jacket and jersey, and her name on the Hero of Play trophy.

Butlin has been involved with hockey in Trail for over 13 years as an executive member of the Rossland-Trail Minor Hockey Association

(RTMHA) and the newly formed Greater Trail Minor Hockey Association (GTMHA). She volun-teered through the years that her son Brandon played minor hockey and continued on after he left. Butlin helped shepherd the amalgamation of the RTMHA and Beaver Valley minor hockey into the GTMHA as treasurer and remains involved behind the scenes to ensure finances are kept under control and minor hockey remains afford-able for families in Trail.

The Hero of Play honour is awarded to a vol-unteer in each of the 100 cities the caravan visits this year in celebration of a century of Hockey Canada.

Lattanville, a big supporter of local sport in Trail particularly the Canadian Tire Jump Start program, was proud to be a part of the award ceremony.

“I think it’s a big part of our community here in Trail and more importantly across the nation,” said Lattanville. “It’s a great accomplishment that Brenda and others have achieved for the outcome of hockey, absolutely.”

The Hockey Canada Century Tour hits the road today for Red Deer, and will wind up the year at the World Junior Hockey Championship in Toronto and Montreal Dec. 26 to Jan. 5.

Nice to see that the Smoke Eaters have gathered themselves after a very serious

slump. One hopes they will carry a little momentum on their road trip and bring back needed points. The way the interior division is means there is very little wiggle room in the battle for a very necessary playoff spot.

Meanwhile, out in the val-ley, the Nitehawks face a big test tonight in the only local game this weekend. Fernie, apparently back to its ways from last decade, when they were almost annually the Nitehawks biggest obstacle to ultimate playoff success, will provide an accurate picture for the staff in Beaver Valley concerning the Nitehawks chances of a championship run.

It is probably a perfect

time for such a test, what with just six weeks remain-ing before ros-ters must be set in stone. Whatever the weather, I am going to make the effort to see for myself how c o m p e t i t i v e the Nitehawks are right now.

• Here is hoping the new council finally takes another look at the, “revitalization,” project downtown. There is ample evidence that what has been done so far has:

Worsened parking down-town; Made access to the Memorial Center more dif-ficult, decreasing its desir-ability as a venue for many events.

And made driving out of town eas-ier and into town harder for those of us who would like to support local business-es.

Hard to think citizens of a munici-pality which

extends past the Trail air-port consider the Memorial Center as away from the town center, but that is the take-away, along with confirma-tion of the access issues, from dropping plans for an indoor market there. The center is what we have for public events, barring the theatric-al ones housed at Charles Bailey, and taking that off the list severely decrease

opportunities for gathering people into the downtown neighbourhood where they might be inclined to linger in support the dwindling, stug-gling group of local stores and restaurants.

What’s done likely cannot be easily undone, but coun-cil should seriously recon-sider adding any more such changes to the core area in light of an aging, less pedes-trian-mobile, population. The town has waited too long for change for that change to be less instead of more positive for the people who operate businesses here, including sports teams.

Someday, too, I hope to be able to correlate the design features generated by the revitalization project with any of my 70 years of images of what Trail is and has been. So far, no such luck.

Hawks host Ghostriders in a telling weekend tilt

Leisure

Dear Annie: My sis-ter, “Ellen,” bought my mother a car when Mom moved in with her. Ellen promised it would belong to Mom when she paid her back.

Mom has made pay-ments for three years. But she and Ellen had a fight, and not only did my sister kick Mom out of the house, but she has taken the car. Both of their names are on the title, but there is only a verbal agree-ment about the rest.

Does my mother have any recourse, or should she just cut her losses and move on? -- Disgusted with My Sister in Texas

Dear Texas: If Mom’s name is on the title, and there is a record of payments (perhaps in your mother’s check-book), she is already a part-owner of the car. But in order to resolve this legally, your mother would have to sue Ellen, cre-ating a permanent rift. Sometimes these argu-

ments get out of hand, but later, when cooler heads prevail, things can be worked out. It’s possible the damage will be repaired and the payments reinstated.

We agree that tak-ing the car is repre-hensible behavior after three years of collect-ing the money, but the recourse is taking Ellen to court, and most par-ents aren’t willing to take that step. Still, we urge you not to get in the middle, because you are too angry to be helpful. The two of them could benefit from having someone impartial mediate their differences.

Dear Annie: My brother never married

and has no offspring. He has always been very opinionated about other people’s children. While raising four of my own, he would say, “If he were my child, he’d never get away with that,” or, “Why can’t you keep them home when we go out to eat?”

My daughter is now 48. She has no chil-dren, although her three siblings do. She is just like her uncle, saying the kids are all lazy and ill mannered. This is not true. They are honor-roll students and are active in many after-school programs. Their teachers always praise their efforts and accomplishments.

I realize that hav-ing children is not for everyone, but childless people who think they have all the answers about how to raise kids and are critical of yours are uncomfort-able to be around. Is there any way to get them to stop? -- Proud Grandma

Dear Grandma: Probably not. People who have never raised children (like people who have never had a weight problem) sim-ply do not understand how complicated and challenging it can be. Without firsthand knowledge, some folks cannot grasp the day-to-day issues, but it doesn’t stop them from having cast-iron opin-ions. And of course, many people believe they know everything and are determined to share their unsolicited, negative advice. Your best bet is to ignore them.

Dear Annie I have a comment about “Reaping What I Sowed,” who contacted his family and a busi-ness colleague pretend-ing to be very sick and asking for money.

He got what he deserved. It’s very pos-sible that several of these people knew he hadn’t really been sick. He duped them. This is NOT the way to treat

people. He’s a con art-ist yelling foul. I hope he enjoys the company of his estate. Sounds like that’s about all he has left. -- G.

Dear G.: You weren’t the only reader who agreed with the sig-nature, that he reaped what he sowed. Read

on:From Germantown,

Tenn.: I wouldn’t have suggested that he speak to these people again. They have shown, quite sadly, what they think of him. Better to give his money to his favor-ite charities. They will truly be grateful.

Texas: Never did you address that his whole situation was based on a web of lies. He fab-ricated a whole illness and financial situation to test them. He delib-erately misled them. He should tell them the truth. He played a big game and got burned.

Enjoy romance, vacations, social occasions, playful times with children and sports events. Yahoo!

Explore this, because their feedback will help you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) The Sun is now at the top of your chart for the next four weeks. This is the only

time this happens all year. It casts a flattering light on you, which makes you look good to others. Demand the advantage! YOU BORN TODAY You are freedom-loving and opin-ionated. Your values mat-ter, and you will fight for the freedom of others. As a parent, you are committed and care about the welfare of children. This is a testing year of growth and building; however, this growth will

occur beneath the surface. Do not make major changes yet -- wait until next year. Strengthen your financial position by reducing your overhead. Birthdate of: Mark Ruffalo, actor; Jamie Lee Curtis, actress; Steven Van Zandt, musician/actor. (c) 2014 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Safety Tip:Even if you make the sensible choice and install winter tires on your vehicle, it’s just as important that your tires are in good condition, are properly

infl ated and have a minimum tread depth of 3.5 mm.

Question of the WeekBob McHugh offers tips this week about buying 2014 model year vehicles. Do you plan to take advantage of the end-of-year bargains? If so, tell us what you bought and how much you paid.

Good time to make a deal on 2014 modelsIf price is more important than a specific colour and you can compromise on content, there are some good deals out there on brand new 2014 model year vehicles.While most auto makers have had a successful sales year, it’s clear-out time on remaining 2014 models and the push is on to achieve or exceed those end-of-year sales goals. Before we jump into vehicles, a couple of consumer tips that will help make you a savvy new vehicle bargain hunter: If you plan to finance your vehicle purchase, it’s best to first check on loan (or line of credit) interest rates offered by your bank or credit union. An automaker “cash credit” option may be a better choice than low or even “0%” financing, if the informational APR (annual percentage rate) calculation is higher than the interest rate offered by your financial institution. The devil is in the details (as they say) when it comes to end of model year clear-out offers. Not only may that great offer be restricted to a specific model, it may only be for a specific trim level. It’s usually a limited time offer and there may be regional restrictions and/or local availability issues. So, here are some good 2014 model year vehicle choices with attractive (limited time) special offer pricing: Small Cars: Toyota is offering $1,500 to $2,500 off the list price of a Matrix. It’s the last

production year for this generation Matrix, a super reliable 5-door compact hatchback based on the Corolla. Discounted prices start at $16,395, but my pick would be a nicely outfitted Touring edition ($19,710 – including a $2,500 discount) with lots the convenience and power features.A $4,635 discount is offered on the Hyundai Elantra L, which drops the price of this stylish compact sedan to an amazing $12,995. Elantra is also a good reliable car, but this is the base edition with a manual transmission. The list price for the 2015 version of Elantra L has also been reduced to $15,999.

Minivans: The top selling and seeming perpetually discounted

Dodge Grand Caravan simply can’t be ignored in this category and the special offers come with a choice of two option packages. The list price is slashed by $8,100 with a Canadian Value Package and it sells for $19,995. With an Ultimate Family Package its discounted price is $27,888, which is a $10,330 saving. Selected editions of the Kia Sedona ($28,695 to $40,095) may also be a good buy. The cash discount can be as high as $7,000 or you can get $6,000 price cut plus 2.99 per cent financing.

Wagon/Utility: Trendy exterior styling separates the Ford Flex from its people-mover

competitors and right now, you can get up to $6,000 in rebates, plus an additional $1,000 off for qualified customers, off selected new 2014 models. There’s a practical side to its design as the Flex can provide seating for seven and still has 566 litres (20 cu ft) of cargo space in the back. List prices range from $24,499 to $38,399. Introduced in 2013, the Encore is a utility vehicle with modest external proportions and a small fuel-efficient four cylinder engine, but it’s still a quiet and comfortable riding Buick. The clear-out offer on select 2014 models is “0%” financing for up to 84 months or a $2,000 cash credit. List prices for the Encore are $27,835 to $36,895.

Sporty Cars: In addition to great looking return-to-roots styling, the Chevrolet Camaro has a sophisticated rear-drive chassis, powerful engine choices and it’s loaded with advanced technology engineering. A $4,500 cash credit is offered on the base 1LS trim level version or you can get “0%” financing for up to 84 months. Camaro list prices for MY2014 range from $28,495 to $77,400.Hyundai has slashed $7,000 off the 2014 list price for its Veloster Turbo with a manual transmission and $3,500 of the automatic version. The turbo engine gives the compact Veloster a much needed power boost to match its edgy, go-faster sporty styling.

With the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show wrapping up last week in Las Vegas, I thought I would share with you an interesting vehicle that was on display and caught my eye – the 2014 Toyota Tundra Ultimate fishing vehicle.Bassmaster Elite Series pro an-

gler, Britt Myers wanted a Toyota Tundra equipped with everything you would want to go fishing and I think he got his wish. It is painted in a matte gray finish from front to back with yellow and black tribal graphics. Front bumper is made by Fab Fours and comes with PIAA fog and driving lights. There is a Warn 15000lb winch tucked inside

this massive bumper. Rolling big power provided the custom grille. Bushwacker fender flares help cover the 37” tall Nitto mud grappler tires mounted on 22” Moto metal black rims. The folks at Pro Comp suspension provided the 6” suspension lift. It fea

tures a MX 2.75c series coil over front shocks and MX6 adjustable rear shocks. In case you are wonder-ing, how you would get in this thing, Bestop has built a running board step that raises and lowers automatically when you open and close the doors. A smaller step folds down manually just in front of the rear tires.

This helps you reach the custom-made roof rack cargo basket. The cargo basket has Rigid 50” LED lights recessed in the front, back and sides, giving plenty of light to see all around. The canopy is built by Leer and has painted fiberglass panels replacing the windows. The rear is truly unique. The canopy gate and vehicle tailgate are con-nected and attached to

a rolling platform that slides out to carry a bev-erage fridge, tool com-partment, fishing tackle, and more! It looks like a showroom out of a fish-ing store. The cabin features all black factory leather seats with a custom made center console. Instead of cup holders, a panel of switches takes its place where the driv-er can easily access the various powered equip-

ment. The dash features a graphic montage of fish skeletons to get you in the mood. The door panels are equipped with twin speakers and a fish finder monitor. I guess you would have to dip the front tire in the river to make it work.The factory 5.7-litre engine has been up-graded to feature a Toyota racing develop-ment supercharger and a cold air intake. A custom

exhaust system by MBRP finishes off the engine compartment.Fuel economy? – If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.Is it practical? – Maybe not, but it sure would look cool to take it fish-ing and show off to your buddies.Sticker price: $125,000, to a Redneck . . . [email protected]
