Millions of dollars of provincial grant money have been turned down by the regional district for wildfire protection this year as the costs to taxpayers would be too high, says the board of director’s chair.

Larry Gray said there is money for wildfire prevention to reduce the amount of standing fuel in the forest surrounding most West Kootenay and Boundary communities, but the cost to attain it would be nearly $1.5 million to Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) taxpayers.

It’s too steep of a price to be borne by a thin and already taxed tax base, Gray said. In June, 2011, the cost sharing formula, previously funded entirely by the province’s Strategic Wildfire Prevention

Initiative, but administered by UBCM, was changed to require municipalities to contribute 25 per cent of the cost fuel management planning (over $100,000).

“Should we be taxing our residents, even for the 25 per cent amount, to pay for mitigation on Crown land which belongs to the province?” he said during a recent Fruitvale village council meeting.

“In the past we turned down money we had actually been granted last year. The rationale for not going after the money was simple.”

The amount of forest fuel mitigation necessary overall for the RDKB would be $6.1 million, with the regional district being required to cough up their quarter share of around $1.5 million.

They fund it up to 90 per cent for the first $100,000, and then it is 75 per cent funded.

Those costs would be borne across the regional district, said Gray, and would require a significant increase in taxation. The RDKB would have to increase taxation through the existing protective services to cover their costs.

Trail wins backto-back UBCM awards The City of Trail cleaned up at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria, winning two major awards out of eight.

For the second year in a row Trail won the tough Community Excellence Award in best practices, general, beating out 15 other communities much larger than the Silver City.

Trail briefs Continued from P. 1

-town Opportunities and Action Committee in 2011, and coming up with a workable Trail Downtown Plan released last spring.

It was the first time in the history of the UBCM awards that a municipality has been honoured two years in a row with the award. “Local government always hears what they do wrong, so it’s nice to hear sometimes what they did right,� she observed.

Last year Trail won the same award for the public process they used for shutting down and the continued shut

down of the Old Trail Bridge and how they handled that from a public perspective. “It was a real pleasure to go up and receive this award on behalf of the DOAC,� said Mayor Dieter Bogs, noting that now councillor Kevin Jolly was the instrumental chair of the DOAC at the time.

New personal disaster assistance team set up for regional district You could say it was a disaster waiting to happen.

The search is on for people in Greater Trail to staff the West Kootenay’s first personal

disaster team.

The Regional District Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) and the Canadian Red Cross are looking to secure a half dozen volunteers to join the newly-formed Personal Disaster Assistance Team supporting electoral areas A and B, the villages of Fruitvale, Montrose, Warfield and the City of Trail.

It also marks the first time the provincial Red Cross has partnered with a B.C. community to provide service for those first 72 hours of disaster response. The Red Cross was approached by the RDKB—the current disaster response managers—earlier this year

NOW in 3D!

to partner on a new program.

As a result, the call has gone out for volunteers with a variety of backgrounds and skill sets to create the diverse team. Experience or an interest in emergency and disaster management, community development, counselling or social work is considered an asset.

For more information or to submit an application, please contact Jodie Densmore at www.bcyukon.dmvolunteer@redcross. ca�bcyukon.dmvolunteer@redcross.ca, or by phone at 250-491-8443, extension 206. Applicants are encouraged to apply before Oct.30.

What’s New with What’s Old

Postcards from Arrowhead sell for big cash on eBay

WorkSafe BC might not approve of this picture, which sold on eBay recently.

GREG NESTEROFF West Kootenay Advertiser

Part of an ongoing look at items of local interest selling on eBay. Several nice postcards from Arrowhead have sold recently for significant sums.

Arrowhead was the northern sternwheeler terminus on the Arrow Lakes from 1895 until the SS Minto was taken out of service in 1954. It survived as a community for a few more years but was finally drowned by construction of the Hugh Keenleyside dam.

It was one of West Kootenay’s most evocative towns in that it was about the only one where the main street faced the lake.

The old townsite,

now privately owned, is visible from aboard the Galena Bay ferry.

Very little is left, but it has a cool old cemetery.

A view of the town in winter, published

by H.E. Wallis of Ar-

rowhead and mailed in 1919, sold last week for $103.50 Cdn. (Another copy of this card sold last November for $112.50 US.) Whoever coloured the card airbrushed a set of mountains out to look like water and sky.

The same seller sold another card showing the town from a different angle for $46 Cdn. It had the same sender and recipient as the one above: Gilbert M. to Miss Jones of the Vernon hospital. The message reads: “Hope night duty agrees with you.” It was published

by Warwick Bros. and Rutter of Toronto.

A third sepia-toned card titled “View from the mill,” published by

Rumsey & Co. of Toronto and mailed from Vancouver to Fernie in 1912 sold for $37 Cdn. And finally, a card showing a horsedrawn sleigh of enormous logs piled ridiculously high with several men standing on top was snapped up for the buy-it-now price of $8 US. • A rare postcard of the Harrop ferry sold for $64 US. It probably dated from the 1930s and showed either the first or second vessel to ply the route. The first, a four-car wooden cable scow, entered service in 1925. It was replaced by another wooden scow in 1937,

which was in turn replaced with a steel barge a decade later. A two-lane, 10-car ferry was launched in 1962.

The present Harrop

ferry was used at Nelson until the orange bridge was completed in 1957. It was later in service at Robson, then sat idle at Nakusp until

1992, which it was cut apart and assembled for use at Harrop.

Paul Reimer

‘Open Book’ (forged and fabricated iron)

Based on Paul Reimer’s entry in this year’s Sculpturewalk, its probably safe to deduce he was an early and avid reader. His ‘Open Book’ suggests a love of literature; it definitely attests to his imagination and talent at the forge. It’s a skill he learned at a young age, even if reading might have been a pleasure that has been nurtured later in life.

When he was just fifteen, Reimer was absorbing techniques and practices under the tutelage of master blacksmith John Smith at Kootenay Forge on the east shore of Kootenay Lake. Four years later, he was in charge of the forge at historic Fort Steele outside of his home town of Cranbrook. There, he built the operation up from a one man show to seven employees and apprentices before opening his own business – Reimer and Company - where he creates architectural iron works and public sculpture pieces that are truly labours of love.

“As a blacksmith and an artist, I strive for originality. I try to do what has not been done before, to make what has not yet been seen, in ways that have not yet been discovered.”

‘Open Book’ is certainly eyecatching and unique. A functional bench in the form of an inscribed book, it reads: A book is like a garden carried in the pocket. The lettering runs contrastingly across the pleasingly curved back, graphically emphasizing the life-like ‘pages’ below it. Reimer has created a simple, graceful and visually beautiful work that, as he puts

Sculpture Talk Welcome to our new regular feature introducing the artists behind the sculptures in this year’s Castlegar SculptureWalk.

it, “is best used on a warm summer day under the shade of a tree with a good book…” The sculpture invites the viewer to sit, ponder and be pleasured by the form and practicality.

Reimer crafted a stylistically similar piece that serves as the Cranbrook Public Library entrance sign. In that instance the ‘book’ is upright and closed.

Here the spine is on the ground and the ‘pages’ are open, some forming the back of the bench and the majority its seat.

His company makes beautifully designed and meticulously executed iron works that enhance the interiors and exteriors of homes, hotels, and conference centres across North America.

One-of-a-kind railings, bathroom fixtures, chandeliers, wine racks and gorgeous kitchen vents are handcrafted as each customer wants, always with precision and flair of design foremost in mind.

“While the majority of our out-

put is architectural iron work, fireplaces, signs and the like, I do enjoy working on public pieces. For me it is an opportunity to share the pleasure I get in creating with the public at large, rather than the somewhat limited audience our functional work enjoys.”

He is particularly proud of ‘Conciliation’ a multi-partner project that elegantly highlights the Cranbrook International Airport departures entrance. Like ‘Open Book’, it showcases his abundant talent while telling a story.

CASTLEGAR SCULPTUREWALK 2013 CALL TO ARTISTS Castlegar Sculpturewalk is now accepting applicants from sculptors to take part in our 2013 event. Now in its third successful year, Sculpturewalk is a year-long outdoor exhibit of original sculpture by local and international artists.

The winner of the coveted People’s Choice Award will be purchased by The City of Castlegar for permanent display, in addition to a cash prize of $3000. Sculptures will also be judged and awarded on Artistic Merit, with prizes in that category totaling $5000.

The application deadline is October 31, 2012.

Sports Trail taekwon-do tournament draws big crowd at Cominco BREANNE MASSEY West Kootenay Advertser

The Koreans may have invented Taekwondo, but Silver City competitors drew a crowd in the Cominco Arena Gymnasium Saturday.

Over 200 spectators filled the gymnasium to watch the annual Trail Taekwon-do Championships 2012, traveling from all corners of the province. Some even traveled to the regional championship all the way

from Camrose, Alberta.

Taekwondo has earned a distinct reputation in the martial arts world because of special emphasis placed on several kicking techniques.

As far as martial arts go, it’s widely understood by practitioners that the leg is the strongest weapon one can use and it’s often utilized to execute powerful strikes on components.

But it’s not all about winning, 10-year-old Mackenzie Govett from

Thompson Valley Taekwando in Kamloops added.

“This is my first competition and I’m a little bit nervous but I’m also really excited,” said Govett. “I’ve been training for seven months and I like the competitions . . . we have our self defense and learn it all while meeting new people.”

The children’s competition attracted fighters of all types Continued on P. 9

It’s Taekwon-do not Taekwon-don’t at Trail’s Cominco Arena on Oct. 13.

Fund set up in Richard Fehr’s memory The Richard Fehr Memorial Fundraiser has been set up to raise money to send children with special needs to summer camps each year in memory of Richard Fehr.

...and every level between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. and the competition concluded with adults sparring from noon until 5 p.m.

Even though there was a strong sense of camaraderie in the gymnasium, hard work from competitors did not go unnoticed by the judges.

“Trail is a new tournament that’s coming up, it’s doing very well,” said judge Dan Zaleski. “Jason Ayles (Trail Martial Arts owner/instructor) is organized and the (Greater Trail community) always gets behind any event

that’s held here.”

A group of judges drove home the point that regional competitions are about making friends and having a good time playing the sport.

Even after 40 years of judging Taekwon-do competitions Zaleski agreed and said regional competitions a great place for emerging martial artists to start out.

“But I will add that the sportsmanship among Trail players is unbelievable,” he said. “It’s an art and a sport, and I think Canadians play fairly but they also play hard.

“I see these competitors from Trail and they’re nice, but they train hard.”

An auction has been created on Facebook where people can donate a service or item and people can bid on the item or service.

Amy Fehr noted that if the auction continues to do well, they would be able to fund several children this summer.

“I do have people from all over British Columbia who are asking me for information because they

also want to do fundraisers,” she added.

“We’re working to put together a package that people can send out and then people can contact me if they’re interested in doing this fundraising.”

Fehr can be reached at 250-443-1118 or amylynne@live.ca.

Along with the auction, residents can donate at the Return It bottle depot in Grand Forks. J. A. Hutton Elementary School will also be

Garbage is the greatest season-long

bear attraction in all of B.C. How do you convince people to manage their garbage –

TOYOTA

and to consider using bear-resistant garbage cans? You get them to sing.

You may have

seen Bear Aware at various public events this summer with a large stuffed bear in a red apron. “Bearista

Bear” was advertising the “sing a silly bear song” contest.

the contest that encouraged people to compose their own song or adapt an old standard to come up with a song about bears and garbage.

Prizes included a large bear-resistant garbage can (donated by the Nelson and District Credit Union), a smaller bear-resistant garbage can (donated

by Rollins Machinery) and Oso Negro Coffee and kids’ t-shirts (donated by Oso Negro Coffee).

The judges were: the Chief of Nelson City Police Wayne Holland, Conservation Officer Jason Hawkes, RDCK Area E Director Ramona Faust and Nelson City Councillor Candace Batycki.

Who won the prizes? All the entries were great. The judges chose the Wildflower School and their “Bear Aware Song” as the overall winner.

Anneke Rosch came second with “Who Cares About Bears” and Heartsong came third with “Dirty Old Bear.”

The contest was great fun, but it had a serious objective: make people aware of managing garbage so bears are not drawn to garbage in our community.

People can keep garbage indoors or in a secure structure until the morning of collection (or until they take garbage to the landfill); they can freeze the “smelly food bits” and put them in the garbage just before collection; or they can use a bearresistant garbage can.

Bear-resistant garbage cans are a solution for those who do not have adequate secure or indoor garbage storage. However, the cans are not available for purchase in Nelson and area and are, in comparison to standard garbage cans, expensive.

People have had to order from the coast, or Alberta and have had to pay large shipping costs.

A Nelson resident, Tea Preville, is trying to help Kootenay residents solve this problem by putting together an order of at least 50 cans to Rollins Machinery to reduce costs to individuals who want to purchase a can. There is no profit involved, just an opportunity to get a bear-resistant can at a more reasonable cost. You can contact Tea for more information (teapreville@telus.net, 250352-0333).

Snowflake Gala to help digital mammography campaign SUBMITTED

The Digital Mammography campaign at the KBRH Health Foundation is a $950,000 effort.

After 18 months of campaigning we are 66 per cent to target with $625,000 raised.

We have received widespread support for this campaign and donations have been received from individuals, service clubs and corporations across the Kootenay Boundary.

Digital Mammography is the gold standard in breast imaging. Currently, KBRH operates a film mammography machine which is 11 years old and has no Stereotactic capabilities. Digital Mammography with Stereotactic capability offers a sub-

stantial improvement in diagnostic ability for patients in the Kootenay Boundary region who require a diagnostic mammogram or biopsy to determine if an abnormality detected is benign or malignant. Securing digital mammography for our communities is very important as it will allow patients to undergo further diagnostic testing for breast cancer using a less invasive procedure and remain closer to home.

Digital Mammography advantages - The computer technology results in more consistent image quality and images that can be easily sent to other specialists or between hospitals when a second opinion is needed. There is a better tumor detection rate

in women with dense breasts with Digital Mammography.

A digital mammogram takes less time than a film mammogram exam to perform, which reduces radiation dose for the patient and will reduce waiting lists for diagnostic mammograms at KBRH. Stereotactic capability offers advantages – the biopsy is performed in the mammography room, not the Operating Room which means no general anaesthetic is needed during the procedure.

No stitches, less scarring, better cosmetic outcomes, and an easier recovery after the procedure are other advantages for the patient.

Horoscope Michael O’Connor

ffor th the

Week

October O ct 19, 2012

Tip of the Week: The recent New Moon in Libra which occurred on October 15th is significant for a variety of reasons. Most importantly, it is the first one with both Saturn and the Lunar North Node in Scorpio and Mercury is there as well. Every ‘Lunation Cycle’ anchors key seed themes. These may be seen as the small cycles against the backdrop of much larger ones. Yet, every brick in the wall serves its own special purpose. Further, some such bricks are that much more important than others and constitute key or corner stones crucial to other developments. This is one of those. The fact that before the next New Moon the U.S. Presidential Election will be decided is a good example, due to the degree of influence the U.S. has on the rest of the world. The exact degree of the New Moon is 22 Libra 32 and this hosts within it a link to the Sign of Cancer. At best, this signifies a genuine state of empathy and concern for others. There are also indications that this is the germination phase of new attributes, attitudes and qualities linked to humanity genuinely feeling more like a unified family, perhaps than ever before.

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20)

LIBRA (SEP 22 – OCT 22)

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21)

SCORPIO (OCT 22 – NOV 21)

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUN 21)

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 21 – DEC 21)

CANCER (JUN 21 – JUL 22)

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 19)

LEO (JUL 22 – AUG 23)

AQUARIUS (JAN 19 – FEB 19)

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 22)

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20)

A cycle of significant change has begun for everyone, not least of all you. This may already be apparent and as if all of a sudden. If not, it will likely be so very soon. Giving to this process is ideal and a good way now is to do some research to gain more insight. A recent activation of relationship themes may be activating your determination.

Changes in your overall lifestyle continue as a central theme. Adventurous is an apt term. You may simply be covering a lot of bases amid a faster pace. Travel is a distinct possibility, as is an accelerated learning curve. Your ambitions are peaking and your sights are set on a brighter future. Yet, be extra sure to strike fair and integral deals with full diplomatic measures.

Despite some very real challenges and the stresses that accompany them opportunities have been knocking. Your ability to recognize these openings and to answer them is important now. Sometimes what are mostly required are shifts of perception and attitude.

This is an expansive time for you and the stress factor that accompanies it is part of the price.

Shifts and changes close to home are linked to the need to establish more balance and harmony. This has probably been keeping your quite busy with a populated ‘to do’ list. You would like to feel more confident about it all but it may not be so easy. Broadening your scope and accessing some inspiration will help. Meanwhile, follow through patiently and do the work.

Attending to a varied spectrum of responsibilities continues. These are progressively centering on home and family. At worst some deep old fears are being stirred. Running away will not help but controlling an overactive imagination will. Actually, it is the task of laying claim to latent talents, gifts or treasures that is giving rise to this anxiety. See the light through the clouds.

Strengthening your foundation is a current theme. This implies refining and improving towards increasing your confidence. Renovations close to home are likely, yet these could also manifest simply as cleaning and beautifying. Call it an inside job for the sake of outer expansion. Advancing in your public and professional life is featured.

Contact Michael O’Connor for a Personal Reading

|

Asserting some pioneering initiatives is a current theme. Fortunately, your energy levels are running high these days. Backed by a spirit of adventure and enthusiasm this cycle stands to produce some real success, or at least a good measure of excitement. At deeper levels you are wise to focus on clearing debts, making key investments and paying your dues somehow.

Some significant new developments of late are gaining your attention and mobilizing your ambitions. A clear sense of direction and diligence is required. Though your focus is sharp, your direction may not be so clear. So, this is your main task; a strategic plan will likely help. A learning curve is implied. Avoid excess and establish a steady stride.

Some new developments in your career and/or public life have begun. These are leading you to push to achieve new ground. An increase in social activity is featured. Gathering new tools, skills and/or techniques is important. At deeper levels, the time has come to refine certain habitual activities, attitudes and priorities. Call it a graduation process.

The recent New Moon has seeded some new momentums in your status quo. It is time to gain the recognition and rewards you feel you have earned. Returns are scheduled to come in now so you may not have to push so hard. Hopefully your efforts have been integral and diligent. Yet sometimes the needs of the many more clearly outweigh those of the few, like now.

You are beginning to see the clear, bright light of a new day. It may yet be very early, but it is certain. Recognizing that the rewards implied emphasize what you will give more than what you may receive is significant. To genuinely feel that it is a privilege to serve and to diligently earn the position, title, credential and confidence to do so is a corner stone to true success.

Play time is drawing to a close for this round. Hopefully, you have taken the opportunities to engage. Now it is time to get back to work. A deepening of your attitude and changes in some of your priorities and behaviour patterns is part of this plot. The work therefore includes breaking any negative habits and replacing them with better ones.

New tools help with PST return Digital mammography MINISTRY OF FINANCE

New tools and information are now available for businesses on the steps they need to take when the Provincial Sales Tax replaces the Harmonized Sales Tax next spring.

A recent provincewide mailing to more than 160,000 businesses and new tax bulletins posted online are among the ways government is helping keep businesses informed in advance of the April

1, 2013, transition date.

Services available include: •One-on-one consultations with a ministry tax specialist - submit a request online.

•Calling a tollfree number with questions about the new PST (1 877 3884440).

•Emailing questions to CTBTaxQuestions@gov.bc.ca.

A new provincial sales tax notice, General Transitional Rules for the Re-Implementation of the Provin-

cial Sales Tax, has now been issued. The transition rules describe how and when PST applies to transactions that straddle April 1, 2013. Over the coming weeks and months, businesses will be able to participate in online webinars and in-person seminars.

Government has reached out to chambers of commerce and business associations to offer presentations with information businesses will need to prepare for the transition.

Registration for

PST will start on Jan. 2, 2013. The government has issued a bulletin, Registering to Collect PST, to help businesses understand whether they need to register.

Links to these bulletins and notices, the online sign-up form for the one-onone tax consultations and the federal transitional rules, along with additional information about the return to the PST, can be found in the business section of: www.

PSTinBC.ca
