Awards salute city’s top gardens

PRACTICE SAVES LIVES

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Trail’s avid gardeners tipped a glass and cut into cake to celebrate another year of beautifying the city, one garden at a time. The serene backdrop of a cascading fountain and fragrant blossoms in the Colombo Piazza provided an intimate back drop for Trail in Bloom (TiB) to present top honours to this year’s participants in its 2013 annual garden contest, Tuesday night. Connie Smith and partner Arlene Chapman, were surprised to win the first-time entry award and first place for Teck’s best residential garden award. “This is a surprise because a month ago we had a water main break,” said Chapman. Chapman and Smith were hesitant to enter the contest for the first time after their backyard was turned upside down by a back hoe to repair the water and sewer lines. “Annette (Gallatin, TiB chair) came by and said ‘yes, you must enter the contest,’” explained Chapman. “So we replanted everything and here we are.” Chapman has always been a gardener but full time work held her back from delving fully into puttering in the yard. Now retired, she has time to pursue her passion of raising roses, and is very keen on nurturing the fragrant bloom, year-round. “We like to putter, look at the colour and enjoy the scents in our garden,” she said. Smith has a long history of manicuring yards, beginning in childhood, when her daily chores included mowing and pruning the empty lots of See GARDEN, Page 2

Members of the South Columbia Search and Rescue team were honing their skills for a shoreline rescue on Tuesday evening. The practice involved members floating through the rapids while rescuers on shore tossed their throw bags in an attempt to pull the victim to shore.

The B.C. legislation that saw the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) voted out of existence will now be enacted to focus the people of British Columbia’s attention on a slightly different matter; “Should marijuana be decriminalized in B.C.?” The initiative would have a petition circulated throughout the province to change the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources to enforce current laws related to, “simple possession and use of cannabis by adults.” Dana Larsen’s pro-cannabis group, Sensible B.C., refers to the proposed changes to provincial policing regulations as the “Sensible Policing Act,” which would re-direct law enforcement resources away from pursuing and punishing marijuana users and direct them towards pursuing serious crimes.

Rescue boat called out for capsized canoe By Art Harrison Times Staff

The Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire services rescue boat was called into action again Tuesday afternoon to deal with a canoe that had run into trouble on the Columbia River near Trail. Deputy Regional Fire Chief, Dan Derby, was on his way home from work when he noticed a canoe that appeared to be out of control and people in the water in the rapids at Rock Island. As Derby was calling the apparent emergency into the station, 911 calls began coming in reporting the same incident. Police and fire services responded, launching the rescue boat to deal with the situation. A family of five in a canoe had gotten caught in a large whirlpool at Rock Island on the Columbia, pulling one end of the vessel under and causing the capsize. All members of the family, who were wearing life jackets, managed to pull the canoe to the west bank of the river across from Home Hardware where they collected their gear and emptied the canoe of water, re-loaded their cargo, and paddled across the river to meet with emergency personnel near the Columbia Valley Greenhouse, confirming that no one was harmed and everything was alright. The family was in the middle of an extended canoe trip travelling from Valemont, at the northern tip of the Kootenays, to Astoria, Oregon, where the Columbia empties into the Pacific Ocean. Regional Fire Chief, Terry Martin, said the canoeists appear to have underestimated the rapids at Rock Island leading to the capsize of their boat. “Rock Island can be dangerous if you’re not aware of what you’re getting into,” he said. “People who know the river know to follow the navigation markers to travel safely. People really should research the river before setting out.” Although this is the third time in as many weeks that the rescue boat has been called out on the river, Martin says that they aren’t unusually busy for this time of year. “We have had the one unfortunate incident recently in Trail that we were called out for,” he said. “But mostly we’ve been out the last few days doing patrols and searches. We haven’t been called out more than is usual for this time of year.” In addition to the emergency calls the rescue services have been called out for they have also been involved in the search for 28-year-old, Andrew Evans, who has been missing since entering the river while evading the RCMP last week. The Fire and Rescue services is also part of the search for 25-year-old, Lyle Lamont, who has been missing from Castlegar since Sunday.

Politicians support petition process FROM PAGE 1 The organization will have 90 days from Sept. 9 to collect signatures from 10 per cent of registered provincial voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts. The same time frame the anti-HST campaigned successfully tackled in 2011. Mary Gay, Montrose village councillor and local anti-HST campaigner, said that the process of campaigning for a successful petition was onerous but well worth the effort. “It took a lot of volunteers, we set up tables everywhere, Ferraro’s, Canadian Tire, the mall..., it was a lot of work,” Gay said. “But it was awesome, I’m quite proud of what we did.” On the topic of the coming referendum, Gay had mixed feelings. “About the decriminalization, I’m kind of yes and no,” she said. “I don’t really agree with all the drugs and stuff but I do agree that the police have enough to do without going after the little ones. The big ones, like the Bacon brothers though, that’s

where they should be concentrating.” Gay does say she believes in the process even if she has reservations about this particular issue. “I support the principle of the petition process,” said Gay. “If they need somebody to take this one on I’ll be there.” Other politicians feel the process is a fair way for determining the will of the people. “We, as a party, are in favour of decriminalization but it is a federal law,” Katrine Conroy, Kootenay West MLA, said from Victoria last week. “However, there are some things we can do provincially and I guess this is one of them.” Conroy acknowledged that it could be a divisive issue in the province but that, in

Granstrom said. “Citizens should have the right to challenge laws they don’t agree with, and government policies.

general, people’s attitudes may be shifting on the subject. “Now that Washington and Colorado have legalized it I think people are realizing the time has come to really look at the issue,” she said. “The cost to the court system is substantial, I don’t know how decriminalization would really affect things but prohibition hasn’t worked in the U.S. and it’s not working here. This is a good first step, it’s about democracy in action. If Dana Larson feels this is what he needs to do to move things forward, then I guess we’ll see what happens.” Last September delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) passed a motion to call on the federal government to decriminalize marijuana but the margin between yeas and nays was narrow and the discussion not without contention. Rossland Mayor, Greg Granstrom, is also a strong supporter of the referendum process. “I’m all in favour of the petitions,”

Julius was born 88 years ago, on April 14, 1925 in Oroshaza Hungary.

He is survived by his wife and sons David, John and his wife Kathleen, and his two grandsons Christopher and Daniel Darula. Julius’ family move to British Columbia afforded him the opportunity to pursue two life long dreams. One was to build the drawing board, that he drew the plans on to build his own home. He said as the

foundations were being poured that “this home would be his last address”. The other was to prospect for gold, a dream he had carried from his youth. Julius will always be remembered for his passion for wood work and his creations will live on as family heirlooms. He was always there to lend a hand and always enjoyed sharing a “barley sandwich” with anyone who stopped by for a visit. At Julius’s request, there is to be no formal funeral service but the family will be hosting an Open House from 1 till 3 PM on Saturday July 20, 2013 at Julius’s home. *** CAMPBELL, JEAN - “GRANNY” — Jean, known to most as “Granny”, passed away suddenly but peacefully in her home in Rossland, BC, on July 5, 2013.

Fossil fuel addiction contributing to disasters

ike smokers who put off quitting until their health starts to suffer, we’re learning what happens when bad habits catch up with us. We’re witnessing the terrible effects of fossil fuel addiction every day: frequent, intense storms and floods, extended droughts, rapidly melting Arctic ice, disappearing glaciers, deadly smog and pollution, contaminated waterways and destroyed habitats. Transport accidents are also increasing as governments and industry scramble to get fuels out of the ground and to market as quickly as possible. Throughout it all, we’re asking the wrong questions. Take the recent horrific disaster in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. A train carrying fracked crude oil from North Dakota to a refinery in Saint John, New Brunswick, derailed, caught fire and caused explosions that destroyed much of the town and killed dozens of people, sending millions of litres of oil into the ground, air, sewers and Chaudière River. It’s a senseless tragedy that has everyone in Canada and beyond griev-

ing for the community’s citizens and their families. Governments and the railway company must answer numerous questions about safety regulations and practices, to prevent a similar catastrophe from ever occurring. The larger questions, though, are about the dramatic increases in fossil fuel use and transport. Sadly, industry proponents quickly exploited the situation to argue for expanding pipelines. As growing human populations and increasing industrialization drive up the worldwide demand for fossil fuels, and as oil, gas and coal companies rush to extract, sell and burn as much as possible while markets remain strong, we’re seeing ever-increasing exploitation from difficult sources – fracking, oil sands, deepsea drilling and more. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers expects oil production in Western Canada to double from threemillion barrels a day to more than six-million by 2030. This means a huge increase in the amount of fuels transported around

the country and the world in pipelines, rail cars, trucks and ocean tankers. According to the Railway Association of Canada, rail shipment of oil has already increased dramatically in Canada, from 500 carloads in 2009 to 140,000 this year. It’s true that rail accidents can be more devastating to human life than pipeline accidents – although when it comes to oil, pipeline breaks usually spill greater quantities and cause more environmental damage than train derailments. But shipping massive volumes of oil and gas is unsafe by either method. As we transport ever-increasing volumes of fossil fuels over greater distances to broader networks, we can

expect more spills and accidents. Wastefully and rapidly burning them is also driving climate change, which experts say may even affect rail safety, as extreme heat and sudden temperature shifts can cause rails to buckle, increasing the potential for derailments. Massive pipeline spills and devastating rail accidents are among the immediate and frightening consequences of our growing appetite for fossil fuels, but our bad habits are really starting to hit back with climate change. The homes and lives lost around the world, numerous plant and animal species facing extinction, rising health-care costs from pollution-related illness and massive clean-up efforts after flooding show that failing to address climate change is far more costly than doing something about it. Much of what we’re seeing now – from increased intense rainfall and flooding in some parts of the world to extended droughts in others – is what climate scientists have been predicting for decades. We’re not going to stop

using oil overnight, and we will continue to transport it, so we must improve standards and regulations for pipelines, rail, trucks and tankers. This should include safer rail cars for moving dangerous goods. Also, many environmental groups are calling for “a comprehensive, independent safety review of all hydrocarbon transportation – pipelines, rail, tanker and truck.” But in the long run, we have to find ways to slow down. By conserving energy and switching to cleaner sources, we can start to move away from fossil fuels – and to use remaining reserves less wastefully. That’s the discussion we need to have, rather than getting mired in debates about transport methods. As energy writer Russ Blinch noted in a recent article, “Looking at pipelines versus rail tankers is really like asking, ‘Should I drive the car with bad brakes or the one with bad tires?’” We need to look at the big picture.

Letters & Opinion Letters to the editor

Rossland museum worth a visit

As some of your readers are aware, Betty and I spend a fair amount of time on the golf course. However there are days when we scratch our heads over finding something else to entertain ourselves. On Saturday, July 13th we went for a drive up to Rossland

and beyond on the old highway to Christina Lake. We only went a mile or so unlike a trip over the whole route I did with my dad in 1950. As we still had more time, we stopped in at the Rossland Museum. Years ago we had toured the outdoor aspects, but we had never gone inside.

This time we did and it is a “wow.” Congratulations to those who developed and those who maintain this extremely interesting and historic facility. I would like to encourage you to add it to your bucket list. Terry Panton, Trail

fit some Canadian industries, particularly lumber companies. There are other factors that also point to an uptick in U.S. economic growth vis-àvis Canada. One is the surprising jump in domestic oil and gas production, and the related reduction in energy costs for American industries and households that have access to low-cost, gas-fired electricity which occupies a bigger place in the U.S. energy mix than it does here in Canada. As the U.S. reduces reliance on imported energy, its economy will receive a boost. And America is already making advances in manufacturing competitiveness relative to other jurisdictions - including Canada - thanks in part to lower electricity costs and abundant cheap natural gas feedstock that’s supporting an expansion of production and new investment across a number of energy-intensive industries. Nothing similar is occurring in Canada, unfortunately. Finally, Canada’s stock market has missed out on the huge post-2009 gains recorded by the broad U.S. equity market indexes, thus dampening increases in overall wealth here and making it harder for our businesses to raise capital. Going forward, this disparity in equity market performance may further widen the already sizable gap in private sector productivity between the two countries. Add it all up and the evidence suggests that after a halfdecade of outpacing the United States in the growth of output, employment, consumer spending, and housing market activity, Canada is now facing a perhaps similar period of relative underperformance. While Canada will certainly benefit as the U.S. economy accelerates, the reality is that the principal drivers of domestic economic expansion - consumer spending and housing investment - are largely tapped out on our side of the border.

American legion AA

Diamondbacks clear first hurdle By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

The West Kootenay Diamondbacks hurdled the first obstacle in its run at the Washington State American Legion AA District tournament in Spokane on Wednesday. The Dbacks mercied Cheney 10-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning when Sean Barta knocked in the tenth run with two outs to end the game, and avoid elimination. “I didn’t tell the kids this, but I thought we should 10-run them,” said co-coach Wayne McIntyre who had scouted the Cheney team the week before. Tanner Johnson picked up the win going six innings and giving up just three hits on the way to the shutout. The run-shortened game also means that Johnson has an extra inning to pitch before he reaches his 10-inning quota and has to rest three days. “We figured we had to win this game so don’t go against the odds, we’ll go with Tanner, so we’ll have Scotty (Davidson) for tomorrow if we win,” said McIntyre. “And they’re both very close, Scotty’s a big lefty and Tanner’s a righty, and he threw really well today.” The Dbacks eventually squashed the butterflies as they scored two in the third, and then exploded for six more in the fourth to take an 8-0 lead. “It was a little scary at the start, slow to get out of the gate these guys, but they started seeing the ball better, and their pitcher got tired.” The win means Cheney goes home while the Dbacks enter the double knockout round, and will play Mt. Spokane today at 10 a.m., a team that has not lost a game all season. “They’re going to be tough. I was speaking to one of the guys at the park, and he was saying they have a pretty strong team,” added McIntyre. West Kootenay will start Davidson tomorrow with lefty Austin Tambellini set to go next. If the Dbacks win their next game goes at 5:30 p.m. Friday, lose and it’s at 10 a.m. at A.K. Jackson Park.

Steelers find silver lining

By Times Staff The Trail Steelers returned from the U12B Girls Softball Provincials in Sicamous on the weekend with plenty to be proud of. After capturing gold at the U12C regionals in Warfield last month, the team stepped it up a notch in competing in the U12B tournament against 16 teams from across the province. However in the opening round, the Steelers were in tough, going 1-3 that included a 7-2 loss to Surrey Storm a team that lost in the final, as well as losses to South Delta and Okanagan before winning its first game

against Abbotsford, 12-6. The Steelers sat in 12th place overall, and would play in the silver division playoffs, while the top eight teams played in the gold division. A few tweaks and the West Kootenay girls were ready for the playoff round, says coach Pam Caron. “The girls worked hard, battled, adjusted to the faster pitching and improved each game.” Sunday morning the Steelers downed Nanaimo 13-4, and then took out Abbotsford 11-5 to send them to the silver final.

Greater Trail Special Olympians did the Home of Champions proud at the BC Special Olympic Summer Games in Langley last weekend. Clockwise from top: Fred Crere, Bob Lattanzio, David Cold, and Neil Emery won gold in Bocce, while Al Cummings took silver in golf, Maria Veltri won gold in 5-pin, while swimmers Sherry Altrogge and Alyssa Berdusco won a dozen medals between them and Stuart Hawton picked up another five in the pool.

Special Olympians bring home the hardware By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

Greater Trail Special Olympians brought home a bucket full of medals from the B.C. Special Olympic Summer Games in Langley last weekend. The Region 1 contingent from the East and West Kootenays joined over 1,100 athletes and coaches for the three day event, winning a total of 62 medals: 11 gold, 16 silver, and 35 bronze. Three Greater Trail swimmers led the way accounting for 17 of 27 Region 1 medals in the pool. Local swimmers Sherry Altrogge and Alyssa Berdusco each claimed six medals, with Altrogge swimming to an incredible five gold and one silver, and Berdusco capturing one gold and five silver medals, while Stuart Hawton also swam well picking up two silver and three bronze medals. “It was fantastic,” said swim coach Collin Berdusco. “I knew that our athletes had worked hard in the past year, but I definitely knew that Sherry would improve the most and probably do the best at the meet, and she did.” It was the first year of competition

for the 52-year-old Altrogge, who has worked hard in the pool all year to prepare for the Games. It was also Berdusco’s first year as coach after spectating for many years, and while he is proud of his swimmers’ accomplishments, his emphasis is on improving every time they enter the pool and swimming personal bests. “I don’t care how they do. A lot of times if they don’t get first, second, or third, you also have their times from the past and any improvement on their swim times is a success,” he said. “When you go there and you see the success that they have, you’re just so happy for them and whether it’s gold, silver, or bronze or just improving on their times, you know they’ve worked hard to reach that success every year, and it’s just amazing. They’re amazing, hard working athletes.” Outside the pool, Maria Veltri bowled to gold in single women’s scratch high score with a 242 in five-pin bowling. The Trail Bocce team made up of Fred Crere, Bob Lattanzio, David Cold, and Neil Emery was also good as gold, while

“Before Coming To OK Tire, I Thought A ‘Rigid Sidewall’ held Up A Roof.”

Al Cummings won silver in men’s golf, missing gold by one stroke. The event was the largest BC Special Olympic Summer Games ever, creating a great atmosphere and generating a unique camaraderie that transcended the competition. “The success of our Trail Athletes this past weekend was largely due to the commitment from our athletes, but they could not have achieved what they did without the help of a tireless group of volunteer coaches,” said Ben Postmus. “Long time Trail residents Collin Berdusco, Alan and Linda Prough, Ozzie Ius, Leanne Harrison, Sheila Hawton, Brenda Clark, Gail Miller, and newcomers to our community Jakki Van Hemert, Mike Clarke, and Michelle Fletcher go above and beyond to get these athletes ready to compete and succeed at the provincial Level. You often don’t see their faces, but their dedication to these athletes is remarkable.” The athletes have a good chance of competing for B.C. in the Canadian championships but await final results from BC Special Olympics.

The rigidity of a tire’s sidewall can affect cornering stability. And it’s just one of the many aspects of a tire that an OK Tire technician takes into consideration before recommending the right tire for your vehicle. • Air Conditioning • Tune Ups • Brakes & Shocks No job too big or small Ask about a courtesy car

PUBLIC NOTICE

RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Initiative Advertising: Individuals or organizations who sponsor initiative advertising, other than the proponent and registered opponents, must register with the Chief Electoral Officer before they conduct or publish initiative advertising. Registration applications are available from Elections BC. Who May Sign the Petition: Registered voters as of Monday, September 9, 2013 may sign the initiative petition. Individuals may only sign the petition once, and must sign the petition sheet for the electoral district in which they are registered at the time of signing. Signed petitions are available for public inspection. For More Information: The initiative application and draft Bill are available for public inspection on the Elections BC website and at the Elections BC office at the address below.

the ball to left-hander Tessy Brandt to start. Brandt would not disappoint throwing all seven innings in a close 5-3 victory for the Steelers, and taking gold in the Silver division. It was a great opportunity for the team to play at a higher level and respond the way the did, getting stronger as the tournament wore on. An official with Softball BC invited the team to compete in the U12B BCs after seeing them play in Summerland. “The Highlight for myself was the numerous people that approached me (at different times) to say what a wonderful team

we were to watch,” said Caron in an email. “This came from two official scorekeepers, a couple umpires and even the head umpire . . . For me that was the best part of the tournament. As a coach you always think your own team rocks but to hear it that much and by different people who don’t even know your team was incredible.” The epic season saw the Steelers lose just four game all year, winning the Summerland tournament, the West Kootenay League and final tournament, the U12C Regionals, and cap it off with top spot in the Silver division at the U12B provincials.

He replied, “I will see when I will be finished at my mother’s.” I told him that on the day of the chemo, he cannot leave his wife alone with two children, supper and homework time. It is very tiring for her. He said he does not need to be reminded. Then we got into an argument, and he said we do not love him, we only do things for our daughter, and we are lucky he does not close the door in our faces. Annie, I worry about Elizabeth’s strength.

help when you can cook a meal or take the kids. If you can afford to hire someone to assist on the days when Elizabeth has a chemo treatment, that would be an amazing gift. Otherwise, please back off a bit. You are not helping yourself or your daughter by getting into fights with her husband and adding stress to her life. Dear Annie: “Iowa” wrote to say that her mother suggested she put down her 13-yearold cat because he has diabetes. She was upset that Mom was so negative. But Mom may be wiser than you think. I cared for my 18-year-old diabetic cat, who needed insulin shots daily. While the shots are easy to administer, the main problem is having to schedule your entire life around those injections. If “Iowa” is still in school, has a boyfriend and perhaps a part-time job and a busy social calendar,

she might discover the responsibility of daily shots at regular times is a lot to incorporate. I was unable to accept a job that required irregular shifts and had to forgo summer vacations that involved being out of town unless I could take my

cat with me. Because I made significant sacrifices for my cat, she enjoyed a good quality of life for five years. But the commitment is far more than just poking the cat with a needle. It is a major responsibility she cannot shirk

Elizabeth recently was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and is going through intense chemotherapy. Early in her treatment, Jacob used to help a lot around the house with laundry and meals, and took good care of the kids. But she is halfway through her treatments, and although Jacob still looks after Elizabeth and the children, he expects her to do a lot more around the house. Of course, as soon as Elizabeth feels a little strong, she goes beyond her capacity and does too much. This aggravates me. Elizabeth never demands that Jacob help more.
