Trail council announced this week that the proposed new library/museum will cost the average homeowner $38 annually for 25 years, instead of the previously estimated $81.

The impact on residents (down from $6.75 per month to $3.17 per month) was reduced thanks to a bump in cash from Columbia Basin Trust and re-allocating portions of the heavy industry and business tax.

That's good news for Silver City voters should the referendum pass during the Nov. 15 civic election when a question will be asked, “Are you in favour of the City of Trail enacting Bylaw No. 2781 authorizing borrowing of $6,288,000 for the construction of an integrated municipal library and museum facility?”

Trail council was hopeful the $38 tax increase would be reduced even more with monetary support from Teck Resources.

But in a letter sent to the city a few weeks ago, the company says it's supportive in spirit, but not in dollars.

Teck's response reflects the current resource industry environment, wrote Rob Scott, senior vice president, adding that Teck is in support of the project and views it as a positive aspect of the City of Trail's downtown revitalization.

Additionally, city staff proposed that if a direct contribution was not feasible, then would the company consider paying a lump sum of prepayment of taxes closer to time of the building construction, should it proceed.

The answer to that was negative as well, See CITY, Page 3

Variety of voting opportunities for local residents

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

With only 31 per cent of Trail residents casting a ballot in the last municipal election, members of Trail council expressed concern that the change of access at the Trail Memorial Centre (TMC) entrance could deter turnout on general voting day in November.

That day, curbside voting is an option for people with mobility chal-

lenges, explained Michelle McIsaac, Trail's chief election officer.

That means if someone is brought to the voting place but can't make their way into the facility, he or she can wait in the vehicle and election staff is notified.

"We will bring the ballot out to the vehicle and the voter can mark their ballot from there," she added.

McIsaac reminds voters that

parking stalls at the front of the Memorial Centre can be accessed by driving through the parking lot and around the back of the building.

And it isn’t the only way to cast a ballot for Silver City voters with mobility issues.

Advance voting opportunities will open Nov. 5 and Nov. 12 at the Trail Aquatic and Leisure Centre on Columbia Avenue in East Trail.

Voting stations will be in the facility's multipurpose room from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. those two

Wednesdays. The location is wheelchair accessible and has a drop off spot at its front doors.

Additionally, special voting opportunities are set for Trail residents living in care facilities on Nov. 14 at designated times.

Eligible electors living in Columbia View Lodge will be able to cast a ballot from 10:30 a.m. until noon that day; Rose Wood Village residents from 1 p.m. until 2:30 p.m.; then the voting booths See TMC, Page 3

Rebecca Leeworthy has a very special talent with paint and a brush.

Since being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 16 years ago, the Montrose artist and former writer, evolved from painting brightly coloured knick-knacks for fun to stroking oils and acrylics on canvas as a profession.

“When the words wouldn't come to me anymore, I ended up painting garden ornaments,” she said. “My friend said my colours were great and I should try it on canvas. Now I can pretty much paint anything.”

Leeworthy is one of 15 local artists with works showcased in the VISAC Gallery's latest exhibition that opens tonight from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m.

“Artworks by Members of the Gallery” features an array of unique pieces by painters, potters, fabric artists, mixed media artisans and photographers.The works are available for viewing and sale at the open house and during

WAiting a little too long

TMC entrance discussed FROM PAGE 1 will move to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital from 3 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.

Another option, mail ballot voting, is being offered for the first time municipally.

Those with a physical challenge that affects their ability to vote during advance or general voting days; or for residents expecting to be absent during those dates can contact the city for a package on Nov. 5. To be counted, the mail ballot must be returned before 8 p.m.

Nov. 15.

While the alteration to the TMC’s entrance was made to improve

pedestrian safety, the slope and distance for those with physical barriers remain an ongoing concern for Trail council.

The matter was discussed during Monday’s governance meeting, and included a back-and-forth about parents stopping on the highway and allowing their children to run through the planted beds to access the building now that there’s no drop-off point at the facility entrance.

“If you go to a hockey game or any other function in the complex, the front extension is utilized to the fullest,” said Coun.

Eleanor Gattafoni Robinson. “In the real world if someone is dropping off their child in the middle of the road, then maybe we should be educating the mother or father.”

In a 5-2 vote, council passed staff recommendations to make no further changes to the front entrance to allow a drop-off area.

However, a spot will be designated for emergency vehicles only, signage and painted road markings will be added and city staff will continue to explore ways to improve the functionality of the Victoria Street parking lot.

Advance polls in region

By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

Every municipality in the province is mandated to hold an advance poll prior to the civic election, and this year the date is Nov. 5.

Outside of that regulation, if additional opportunities outside of general voting day are warranted, each community can write those options into a bylaw.

Fruitvale's 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. advance voting will be held in the village office at 1947 Beaver Street.

Additionally, Fruitvale seniors will be taken into account when mobile polls are made available on Nov. 12. Residents of Beaver Valley Senior Citizens Manor can cast a vote when the station is brought to them; then residents at Mountain Side Village can vote opportunity when the mobile poll is brought to their facility that afternoon. Times are not yet confirmed.

The general voting day location is the Fruitvale Memorial Centre

from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. For more information, contact Sera Wilcox, Fruitvale's chief election officer at 367.7551.

Montrose will be hosting its advance polling day Nov. 5 from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. at the village office on 11th Avenue. If that day doesn't work, then there will be two more opportunities prior to the Nov. 15 general voting day. From 8:30 a.m. until noon and from 1 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 13 and Nov 14, advance voting stations will be open. Those days and election day, voting stations will be located in the village office. For more information, call 367-7234.

All voting opportunities in Warfield will be stationed at the village office's located on 555 Schofield Highway. CEO Allana Ferro reminds voters to bring two pieces of identification when casting a ballot during advance voting on Nov. 5 and Nov. 12, and on general voting day.

With all the tricks and treats on display at the Artisan in downtown Trail, a visit to the store could bring on the gnarlies for anyone who chooses to wait outside instead of shopping within. Fibre artist Marisa LeRose put a warm cap on one poor soul who is forever stuck on the street, because he was too stubborn to join his wife inside the cozy retail space.

City to continue to explore other grant opportunities FROM PAGE 1 replied Scott, due to current challenging condition in the resource sector and existing commitments across all Teck communities.

The company’s response is much more subtle than the last time a referendum for a new library was underway in downtown Trail.

Trail Times pulled from its

archives a Nov. 18, 2002 edition of the paper, with a headline, “Library chair glum mayor says future up to new council.” A glance through reporter Raymond Masleck’s story reveals that 12 years ago, when the company was still Teck Cominco, not only did it not support the project, Doug Magoon, its general manager, led a campaign of local business leaders against

the civic complex.

At that time, a new library and city hall were proposed, that Magoon described as “the wrong strategy for starting on the revitalization of downtown.”

All these years later, the desire for a new 18,000-square foot structure slated for the former Eagles lot on Bay Ave. is up to Trail electors in just five weeks.

The city and committee continue to explore other opportunities for grants, explained David Perehudoff, Trail’s chief administrative office, adding that the outcome depends upon the new federal Building Canada program.

The $8.8 billion Building Canada Fund was established in 2007 to fund projects until 2014.

The fund addresses national, regional and local infrastructure priorities and supports projects designed to deliver a stronger economy, cleaner environment and strong communities “This project may fit the criteria and depending on the final timing of the introduction of the new program, more significant grants could also be obtained for this project.”

Jumbo in limbo after EAO report

By Barry Coulter

Cranbrook Townsman

The Oct. 12 deadline has passed, and the forward progress Jumbo Glacier Resort is on hold— at least for the time being.

The environmental certificate for the proposed ski resort in the Purcell Mountains west of Invermere was set to expire on Sunday.

And after the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) released their administrative audit last week, which found the Jumbo proponents to be in noncompliance of their commitments, the certificate will not be renewed pending decision by the Minister of Environment, Mary

Polak.

Some of the issues in question include streamflow, fish habitat and water quality monitoring.

According to Robyn Duncan of the environmental group Wildsight, which has led opposition to the proposed resort, that decision isn’t expected any time soon. “(The EAO) didn’t issue any type of stopwork order, which we would have liked to have seen,” Duncan said.

“It was nonetheless heartening to see they had been in non-compliance with many of the commitments we have been highlighting throughout the summer.

“As of October 12th, they are no longer allowed to carry out construction work on the project.”

B . C . ’ s Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) granted the company a five-year environmental certificate in 2004, and renewed it in 2009.

It cannot be renewed a second time, unless construction has “substantially started, in the reasonable opinion of the Minister.”

“I’ve been told by the EAO compliance officers that they have communicated very clearly to the proponent that they are not allowed to continue on construction — it’s not a formal document in the form of a stop-work order but kind of normal practice after the environmental certificate expires,” Duncan said.

The Minister of Environment is now charged with making a decision as to whether or not sub-

stantial construction has taken place on this project. Polak was up at Jumbo on the weekend, touring the site, along with EAO compliance officers. The EAO is compiling material to aid in the Minister’s decision.

Duncan said that decision is not expected to come out until the end of November at the earliest.

“But it could well be into the new year until we have that decision. But until that time, until they’ve reconciled and come to terms with that they’re not allowed to do any work that would be considered a substantial start.

“What they allowed to do, and have been ordered to do, is work on some of the roads to deal with some of the erosion issues, as well as pulling out two of the temporary bridges they have installed.”

As of press time, representatives of

Jumbo Glacier Resort were unavailable for comment.. However, Grant Costello, senior vice-president with Glacier Resorts Ltd, told the Calgary Herald that the construction is still on track — provided the decision by the minister goes in their favour.

The proposed ski resort is a designated resort municipality, 55 km west of Invermere. Jumbo Glacier is planned to be a year-round skiing facility developed in three phases at an estimated cost of $450 million.

Bu the project has long been a source of controversy, splitting public opinion in the East Kootenay, and drawing opposition from environmental groups and the Ktunaxa First Nation. The Ktunaxa have challenged the project in court, and are currently in the process of appealing a B.C. Supreme Court decision dismissing that challenge.

Kamloops

Libelous email proves costly THE CANADIAN PRESS KAMLOOPS, B.C. - A judge has ordered a British Columbia man to pay $40,000 in damages for sending emails making false allegations against a Seattle boat dealer.

The emails were sent during a dispute over defective windows on the man’s yacht.

Ray Prokorym, sales manager at a boat dealership, filed a lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court against Robert Turpin following a series of emails sent in April 2012.

Court heard that in December 2011, Prokorym sold Turpin a used 19.5-meter for $1.16 million.

After Turpin, of 100 Mile House, B.C., took possession of the vessel, he realized some of the windows were defective.

In April 2012, Prokorym offered to split the cost of the windows - an $11,000 fix - in “good faith.”

Turpin did not accept the offer and instead sent an email to dealership employees, falsely describing Prokorym as a convicted sex offender.

Turpin also threatened to hang a banner from his boat calling Prokorym a liar.

He eventually sent the email to 23 addresses associated with yacht sales. He never followed through on his threat to send it to Puget Sound schools and churches and no banner was ever hung from his yacht.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Meiklem said the emails established publication of the defamatory claims.

Meiklem ordered Turpin to pay $30,000 in general damages, $10,000 in punitive damages and $615 in costs.

Residents, district fight against medical pot facility

By Candace Wu

Parksville Qualicum Beach News

Growing medical pot should be deemed an industrial activity — not an agricultural one.

That’s the message regional district directors are send-

The board, not including City of Nanaimo directors, came together to respond to the min-

istry’s draft criteria for developing local government bylaws regarding medical marijuana production in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

“It (marijuana) is not a normal agricultural product,” said chair Joe Stanhope, who has supported River’s Edge residents in their fight against a medical marijuana facility setting up shop in a Nanoose Bay suburb south of Parksville.

“It doesn’t belong

in some of our pristine agricultural land.”

Stanhope said the ministry is “ignoring completely the social, safety and security problems we could have if these things (medical marijuana facilities) are established in rural areas ... we’re a long way from the police department and fire department and security would be a never-ending problem.”

Director Julian Fell said medical mari-

juana facilities have a “decidedly non-farm character.” Fell, who represents Coombs/ Errington, said the Ministry’s report was insufficient and lacked some of the major concerns brought forward by residents.

“We need the ability to address siting issues of the visual and social nature such as site buffers, shielding, proximity to schools, fire and police, exits and road use, impacts on infrastructure.”

Seniors’ groups join union against postal cuts THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Seniors’ groups and organizations for people with disabilities are joining the Canadian Union of Postal Workers in a planned legal challenge to preserve home mail delivery.

Canada Post wants to phase out home delivery in an effort to cope with a revenue squeeze from falling mail volumes.

The postal workers union said the Federal Court challenge, which has not yet been filed, will argue that doing away with home delivery is a decision for Parliament, not Canada Post.

Union president Denis Lemelin said the agency is too focused on the bottom line and is ignoring the needs of Canadians.

“The reaction was immediate from every part of this country,” Lemelin said. “People - seniors, people with disabilities, the general public - were against it and demand that the door-to-door delivery be maintained.”

The Conservatives are trying to distance themselves from the home delivery issue, the union said, adding the government should be held accountable for allowing the decision

to be made without proper consultation or debate.

Canada Post said it is confident the plan to do away with home delivery “will withstand any and all legal scrutiny.”

Digital alternatives such as electronic bills and email - are quickly replacing traditional mail delivery, spokesman Jon Hamilton said.

“The decision to move away from doorto-door mail delivery for a third of Canadian households was difficult,” he said in an interview.

“We understand that two-thirds of Canadian households today don’t have delivery to the door. But we also understood that we needed to ensure as we make these changes, we were taking the approach and ensure that no one was left behind.”

The NDP’s big child care gamble

C

hild care services often cost more than university at the very moment many parents are trying to pay down their own student debts. Add those costs on to housing prices that are nearly double what they were a generation ago and it is no wonder young people are being squeezed financially.

Given this context, the federal NDP deserves credit for committing to reduce the cost of child care to $15 per day, down from the daily rate of $30plus that is common outside of Quebec.

As founder of Generation Squeeze, which developed a $10/ day child care recommendation for Canada, I applaud the NDP for talking honestly about the investment required to lift Canada from our status as an international child care laggard.

To make his party’s goal a reality, Thomas Mulcair says that an additional $5 billion in federal spending is required annually, along with near-matching

dollars from provincial governments.

This honesty is in contrast to that of former Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin who campaigned in 2006 on a promise to spend $5 billion in total over five years. Research showed his promise was insufficient to build a child care and early education system.

Then-opposition leader Stephen Harper quickly countered the Liberal proposal with his own $2.7 billion annual subsidy for the Universal Child Care Benefit, which would provide $100 monthly payments to families with children under age six.

While not enough to pay for child care services or to make it affordable for a parent to remain home, it proved to be a politically successful plank in his platform.

The NDP risks walking into a similar trap as Martin did. Because its $5 billion a year commitment doesn’t come into full force until the eighth year of its mandate, the

PAUL

KERSHAW Troy Media

party is attempting to win votes now by promising less than $2 billion in new annual spending for families over the next four years.

Prime Minister Harper, on the other hand, continues to support income splitting for families with kids next year, starting with an annual payment of another $2.7 billion.

By the Conservative Party’s own numbers, their latest $2.7 billion annual promise will only benefit 38 per cent of families with children.

Couples in which both parents earn similar

amounts won’t benefit, nor will single parents.

A small minority of couples with a stay-athome parent will save around $6,500 a year from income splitting when the breadwinner earns over $125,000.

These earnings are not enjoyed by the majority of one earner couples with kids whose median income is around $42,000 when the earner is male, and $25,000 when female.

With income splitting, these typical families will save no more than $1,100.

When you consider the typical young couple in 1976 earned $65,360, often on one salary, saving $1,100 doesn’t close the financial gap that couples face today compared to the past.

The only way to close the gap is a second income, which generally requires many thousands of dollars in annual expenditures for child care services.

Government investments in child care and early education services are a more equitable, inclusive and effi-

cient way to reduce the time and money squeeze on younger generations.

This is especially so when these investments are made in combination with additional expenditures on parental time as Generation Squeeze recommends.

Generation Squeeze will release a new study this winter showing that Canadian governments added nearly $400 in social spending per person age 65+ during the 2014 budget cycle, compared to around $66 per person under the age of 45.

If spending increases per young person matched those of retirees, not only could Canadians implement $10/day child care within one election cycle, we could also reduce the squeeze on parental time at home in ways that are more inclusive and fair than income splitting.

Dr. Paul Kershaw is the founder of Generation Squeeze, and a policy professor in the UBC School of Population & Public Health.

Fletcher column lacks research

Recently the Trail Times ran a column by Tom Fletcher suggesting that the Canadian Union of Public Employees was running city halls in British Columbia (“Is CUPE running your city hall?” Trail Times Sept. 30).

Mr. Fletcher’s column was based on a shoddy report done by the provincial government about pay for municipal employees. Despite the fact the report focussed on local governments, neither Mr. Fletcher, nor the authors of the report bothered to talk to local government representatives.

And this isn’t surprising, because Mr. Fletcher and others are promoting a ham-fisted solution (imposing a provincial-government controlled bargaining model on locallyelected city councils) in search of a non-existent problem.

Had Mr. Fletcher spoken

to Rona Martin, president of the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM), or even read the UBCM statement, he would have found that the provincial report frequently acknowledges serious limitations on municipal pay data. This includes lumping in compensation for police, fire fighters, BC Ferries and TransLink, even though local governments don’t control compensation for these groups.

It is true that the cost of local government has gone up.

As local government representatives will tell you, much of this comes from provincial and federal government regulations, rules and required services to be paid by local governments.

A recent report from the B.C.based Columbia Institute, finds that between 2001 and 2010 local spending on sewer services went up by 173 per cent, on

policing by 134 per cent, and on water services by 130 per cent - driven by either by provincial or federal requirements.

On Mr. Fletcher’s key target – CUPE’s wage settlements – the fact is that over the last decade CUPE’s municipal wage settlements have largely mirrored private sector settlements. And both CUPE and private sector agreements have been lower than the growth in the province’s wealth (provincial Gross Domestic Product) and the increase in average weekly wages across B.C. The authors of the provincial government report should clearly have talked to local governments and examined these issues. As a journalist, it would have been responsible for Mr. Fletcher to do the same.

Dignity in death should extend to humans

An editorial from the Prince George Citizen mong animal lovers, the phrase “put down” is used in favour of the clinical and scientific sounding “euthanasia.”

Talking about “putting down” a dog or a cat or a horse always has a tone of inevitability and mercy attached, in recognition that death is the final culmination of any form of life and that ending pain and suffering is a noble thing.

The phrase is direct, blunt and honest, describing not only putting the animal to death but also the process of letting go of the animal, of putting it down and out of our grasp so it can die in peace.

As Canadians, we can speak so frankly about caring for our pets and livestock to their dying breath but we have no such vocabulary for ourselves.

Anyone who would talk about “putting down” a human being suffering from a terminal illness would be soundly criticized for their insensitivity, even though they are speaking about the exact same process (actively bringing about death) for the exact same justification (to end needless pain and suffering). As the Supreme Court of Canada hears arguments starting today over legalizing assisted suicide in Canada for medical reasons, perhaps it’s time to “put down” the big words and the legal jargon for an honest discussion about dying.

There is actually an expectation in Canadian society for owners to put down their ani-

A

mals before they suffer too much. Owners that pay large sums for invasive and painful treatments of their sick creatures are seen as cruel and heartless for putting their own needs for companionship above the hurt the voiceless animal is enduring. Putting down animals is done out of consideration for the animal, not for the saddened owner. Through the tears, parents explain to their upset children that putting down the family pet is an act of love, that we are willing to suffer grief in order for the animal to no longer have to suffer pain. Even the youngest of children understand what a noble and worthwhile sacrifice that is.

So why are so many so unwilling to make a similar sacrifice for their fellow human being? How many more times do we have to watch loved ones wasted away by disease, their last days doing something nobody would call living but which seems to be a lot worse than dying? How many more times will someone say “we treat our animals better” as another round of agonizing treatment is ordered with little expectation of extended longevity, never mind a remedy for the affliction?

We remain trapped by our excessive imaginations that life is a divine gift, even though we are surrounded by mindless creatures sharing the same state. We are trapped by our tiny imaginations that life is the greatest form of existence, simply because it is the only one we know. We are trapped

by doctrines that insist living is supposed to hurt, suffering is our lot in life and it is our path to a greater understanding.

We refuse to recognize that the idea of putting down human beings preserves our human dignity, instead of disgracing it.

We refuse to surrender control to the hands of the persons doing the living − and dying.

We refuse to take responsibility for our own destiny.

It is even better than putting down animals because we can make up our own minds, we can say our goodbyes in our own time and we can let go at the moment we choose, which may or may not satisfy the will of our maker, depending on whether we worry about such things. Lawyers, pastors, politicians, doctors, editorial writers and philosophers are free to talk about the abstract considerations of assisted suicide but they have no skin in the game because the only life and death anyone is capable of living and experiencing is their own.

Let them talk, write, preach, pass laws, adopt policy, encourage debate and present papers at academic conferences, so long as none of that takes away from the right a terminally ill individual should have to take their own life, to put themselves down with the aid of others when they are physically unable. We are willing to put our animals down because we love them and we love life.

We should extend the same courtesy and decency to one another in our time of dying for precisely the same reasons.

Trail & District Churches The Blood Of Christ Is Our Ransom Payment Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace” (Eph 1:7).

Here St. Paul speaks about the redemption that we have in the blood of Christ. The word used here for “redemption” (apolytrosin) has the sense of “ransom price,” that is, the price one pays to ransom a person from slavery or captivity to gain his freedom or release. The price here is the blood of Christ shed unto death on the cross, and it is paid by Christ on the cross to his Father, because we owed the Father a price for our sins, namely the price of our suffering in punishment for them. But Christ paid our price for us with his suffering on the cross, with his blood shed unto death for us, for our sins (1 Cor. 15:3). Christ died in punishment for our sins as our substitute, suffering our punishment for us, instead of us. In this way he ransomed or redeemed us from our sins with his blood.

Therefore St. Paul says here, “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses” (Eph. 1:7). Later in this same letter he repeats this same idea, saying, “But now in Christ Jesus you who were once far off have been brought near in the blood of Christ” (Eph. 2:13).

In fact, Jesus himself used a word from this same word group when he said, “For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom (lytron) for many” (Mark 10:45). His life given unto death on the cross was the ransom, or the ransom price, that he paid to God to free us from our sins and from their eternal punishment in hell.

Writing to the Romans St. Paul says, “Being justified

freely by His grace through the redemption (apolytroseos) that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 3:24 NKJV). That is, we are made righteous (justified) freely, without paying any price ourselves, because of the redemption price that Christ paid for us, for in his death he paid our ransom price to ransom or redeem us from our sins and from their punishment.

Then, in the following verse St. Paul says that Christ did this because he is the one “whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness” (Rom. 3:25 NKJV). That is, Christ ransoms us because he himself propitiates God or renders him favorable to us by shedding his blood for us on the cross. This is activated for us through our faith.

And this manifests that God is just in freely forgiving us, without any payment on our part, since Christ made this ransom payment for us with his blood on the cross. Christ with his blood shed on the cross propitiates God, or renders him favorable to us, because with his blood he paid our debt for our sins, which is the price for our ransom from them.

By doing this Christ manifests that God is just, because our sins were justly punished in him.

Furthermore Christ’s death not only vindicates God, showing that he is just (for our punishment has been justly suffered

by Christ), but also justifies us, that is, makes us just and righteous, because our sins have been paid for, and we have been set free from them by his death.

And all of this, of course, is at the initiative of the Father himself who sent his Son to do this for us (Rom. 8:32). © Copyright 2007-2009 Rev. Steven Scherrer www.DailyBiblicalSermons.com.

Teck proposes new settling pond project

By Sarah Kucharski Fernie Free Press

During the Oct. 6 Sparwood City Council meeting, Teck proposed building a new settling pond project to filter out water near Aqueduct Creek.

The purpose of the sedimentation pond — which will span 1.6 hectares and reach approximately 1.5 metres deep — will be to treat total suspended solids that

originate from the Elk View mine site and its access roads, according to Teck representative Rick Magliocco.

The proposed pond will treat flow from both the Qualteri and Aqueduct Creeks and then discharge the filtered water back into the Aqueduct Creek.

“The key message here is that the pond will not be storing any tailings,” explained Magliocco, “it’s strictly

for water storage.”

Tailings are residue materials that are made in the process of mining that can often be left suspended in water.

The pond system will feature the main sedimentation pond, as well as a smaller control pond that will direct the flow into the sedimentation pond and pass excess flow into the Aqueduct Creek channel.

Teck sought out two viable options for the new pond location. The first proposed option would be on Teck leasehold land between

GN Road and Michel Creek, and the second proposed location is at the old sawmill site, between Michel Creek and the CP Rail tracks.

Teck has stated that the sawmill site would be their favored option.

“The topography was very steep at the first location,” said Magliocco.

“The sawmill location is the preferred option, it’s the lowest cost option and has minimized impacts on the leasehold residents.”

In order to mask the view of the pond from Highway 3, Teck plans

to plant willow staking along the Michel Creek bank.

The control pond will be fenced to prevent unauthorized entry and there will be warning signage placed around it.

Coun.

Harold Baytaluke asked, “What will be the expected dredging or maintenance of the pond?”

M a g l i o c c o responded that the control pond would need to be cleaned out more often, but the main sanitation pond is expected to only need a clean out once every 10 years.

Smokies battle Rivermen

PASSING THE TORCH

BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

In the wake of a successful road trip and a BCHL Player of the Week honour, the Trail Smoke Eaters will look to keep the puck rolling when they face the Langley Rivermen on Saturday.

The Rivermen are coming off a 4-3 overtime win over the Surrey Eagles on Wednesday, and currently hold down third place in the Mainland division with a 4-3-0-2 record.

“They are a good team, they’re right in the mix, .500, and they’ve got some good young players, they recruit well and they are a consistent organization that do a good job in getting the right team together,” said Trail Smoke Eater coach Nick Deschenes.

Langley is led by St. Paul, Minn. import Gage Torrel who has four goals and five assists on the season, and UMass-Lowell committ Evan Anderson, a five-foot-eleven, 180 pound forward who has 10 points on the season. Backstopping Langley is former Surrey netminder Bo Didur who played in six games this season with an impressive

2.78 GAA and a .918 save percentage.

The match up will showcase the best power play unit, against the best penalty killing team in the league. Trail leads the BCHL in PP, scoring 11 times in 36 opportunities for a 30.56 per cent success rate, while the Rivermen are the stingiest on the penalty kill with an 86.54 per cent. However, they’ve also taken the most penalties, with 52 short handed situations compared to 37 for Trail, one of the least penalized teams in the league.

With Jake Lucchini and Charlie Zuccarini in the top-three in scoring, Trail also boasts the most prolific offence scoring 4.5 goals per game on average.

Nevertheless, the Smoke Eater coach is more worried about the more than three goals per game the team has given up.

“It’s one of those details I don’t key in on,” said Deschenes. “My perspective looks at the other end of the spectrum at the goals we have to keep out of our net.”

Smokies goalie Adam Todd has played well this season, with a respectable

3.14 GAA and a .906 save percentage, and will get the start on Saturday.

“We’ll go with Adam Todd, it’s a one-game weekend so give Brett Clark an opportunity to take some extra shots.”

The Smoke Eaters trail Penticton, 8-1-0-0, in the standings by six points and while they enjoy a game in hand, Trail can’t afford many losses against nonInterior division teams.

“We’re looking forward to the challenge, it’s going to be a good test for us. It’s important for us to do well against the other conference teams so that we don’t lose any ground, so there’s a lot to play for, and a win will put us closer to Penticton.”

The 5-3-0-0 Smokies are in a four-way tie for third spot in the Interior division with Merritt, Salmon Arm, and West Kelowna.

Trail will also be short offensively on Saturday, with forwards Dallas Calvin still out with concussion symptoms, and Robbie Johnson, out with a shoulder injury.

The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Cominco Arena.

The KIJHL Beaver Valley Nitehawks hit the highway this weekend visiting the Okanagan Shuswap conference with three dates against Doug Birk division teams: Chase, Sicamous, and Revelstoke.

The three-game extended road trip is the first of the season for B.V.’s rookie-laden team and one the players are looking forward to.

“We had a trip to Golden and Columbia Valley and it’s just an overnighter, so adding the extra day certainly puts more wear and tear on your body,” said Hawks coach Terry Jones. “But we look at it positively.

The guys are excited about getting away and being together and in a hotel room and all that other fun stuff so we look forward to it for sure.”

The Nitehawks are coming off a split with the Kimberley Dynamiters last weekend, with a 4-3 win Friday but suffered a 7-1 beating in Kimberley on Saturday. After the win, a combination of injury and overconfidence may have affected the young crew.

“There’s no excuses, I think we got wore down a little bit,” said Jones. “Kimberley is a really good hockey team and when you play a good hockey team you have to play

f r ost y’s liquor store daily 9am - 11pm

a 60 minute game, but I think we played about a 10-minute game.”

The Hawks were without veteran forwards Kyle Hope and Sam Swanson, and rookie Hayden Chase, and have been playing Jacob Boyczuk on defence to cover for an injured McKoy Hauk. Fortunately, Swanson and Hauk will be back in the line up this weekend and more importantly Boyczuk will resume his forward role.

“We have a couple of minor things but the good thing is we have six healthy ‘D’ now, and that makes a difference. We had Jake Boyczuk playing defence and Jake did a great job but we want him to be playing forward and causing a ruckus up front.”

The Hawks face the Chase Heat on Friday for the second time this year, having won the first match 6-5 in overtime Oct. 4. The Heat sit in fourth place in the division with a 3-5-1-2 record, three points behind both Sicamous and Revelstoke, the two teams the Hawks play on Saturday and Sunday.

Chase is coming off a big 3-2 win over the league-leading Osoyoos Coyotes handing them just their second loss of the season, while Revelstoke Grizzlies and Sicamous Eagles are much improved from last year.

ALCS: Royals unlikely champion Jump on Smokies’ band wagon

Associated Press KANSAS CITY - When the final out was made on another improbable night, and the Kansas City Royals were headed back to the World Series, Ned Yost stood in the dugout and watched.

He watched as a bunch of young players he’s nurtured for years celebrated. He watched as veterans and journeymen and baseball vagabonds piled onto the infield. And he watched as a fan base that has so often criticized him relished a moment 29 years in the making.

“These kids, from the minute you saw them, you knew they were going to be special,” Yost said. “Their goal was to get here and win a championship, and today they accomplished that.”

Led by a dynamic defence, an opportunistic offence and one of the best bullpens in the game, the Royals swept aside the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night. With another tight win, 2-1, the Royals captured their first American League championship since 1985.

That was also the last time they were in the playoffs.

“It’s hard to explain,” said outfielder Lorenzo Cain, whose clutch hits and dramatic grabs earned him the series MVP award. “We’re clicking at the right moment right now.”

Now, the Royals will carry an 11-game playoff win streak into the World Series, one shy of the major league record. That includes their first eight this season, something that had never been done in post-season history. Kansas City beat BFGoodrichCanada

t is a better start to a season than we have seen in a while, but until and unless Cominco Arena starts to become Fortress Smokies, we can’t count on anything yet from this year’s version of the Smoke Eaters.

Lots of good signs.

Trail has won three of four and the current BCHL Player of the Week is local boy Jake Luccini. Two Smokies are in the top 10 in scoring as opposed to none in the top 40 last year, and the team is still very new and improving.

But, it will take a little more than a third-place tie in the division to rouse the troops (fans) so that game days get to be real events even in an event-starved city.

I am on board with hopes for a strong season and playoff hockey.

A lot of people are not yet convinced, and with Trail having turned into a city that mostly just wants to support winners (despite all the Canucks, Flames, Oilers and Maple Leaf flags and decals rolling along local roads) there is still a need for the team to keep turning good efforts into good results.

Don’t think it will be easy Saturday night, either. Langley has the same number of points

Oakland in a 12-inning wild-card thriller to start things off, then swept the Los Angeles Angels in the Division Series.

The Fall Classic will begin Tuesday in Kansas City between the Royals and the winner of the NLCS between the Giants and Cardinals.

Coincidentally, it was St. Louis that fell to the Royals in seven drama-filled games during the ‘85 World Series.

“I don’t think we’re done yet,” designated hitter Billy Butler said.

After the Royals held the Orioles to three hits in Game 3, Jason Vargas and their bullpen held them to four Wednesday night. Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis got the game to Greg Holland, who matched Dennis Eckersley’s record with his fourth save of the best-of-seven series.

Holland got J.J. Hardy to ground out to third base for the final out, and the Royals spilled onto the infield in a wild celebration. Fireworks shot over the crown-shaped scoreboard in centre field, and a blue-clad sellout crowd that included Royals greats George Brett and Brett Saberhagen let out a roar while cars on nearby Interstate 70 honked their horns.

“That’s what you dream of as a kid,” Holland said. “Punch your ticket to the World Series, especially before your home crowd. These fans have been waiting a long time. They deserve it.”

The Orioles, meanwhile, will limp into the offseason after a 96-win season having been swept for the first time in franchise history, a stretch of 21 post-season series.

as Trail and is, like the Smokies, coming off a win. Residence in the mainland division is not, as it seemed early on, a guarantee of ineptitude. The Rivermen have allowed only one more goal (in one more game played) than Smokies and their scoring has been very balanced, if less prolific (nine fewer goals) than Trail’s.

Still, early season play and, one hopes, home ice advantage, should stand the Smoke Eaters in good stead Saturday night.

Just in case - and it is a fairly strong case to be made right now - Trail will become a playoff contender, you should get on the band wagon now. Maybe soon there will again be a band in the rink.

• Meanwhile the confounding MLB playoffs continue.

Confounding because all of the season’s best teams are long gone and the also-rans are ruling the roost. If, as expected, the San Francisco Giants

complete their rout of St. Louis not long after I file this piece, two of the apparently worst three post-season teams, teams that edged into the playoffs via wild card spots and scarily-close sudden death wins, will compete for the World Series trophy this year.

They will be there because they played smarter playoff baseball, and had a bit more luck, than the, “big,” teams.

The Kansas City Royals, in their first post-season play in 29 years, survived a fourrun eighth inning deficit in their first game since 1985 and are on an all-time post season winning streak of eight straight games.

The Giants were so bad for three months they went from 10.5 games in front to a sixgame deficit on first place, but have lost only once in their playoff run.

How they got there should not matter to ball fans, however, because the way they play has been exciting and surprising. Unless the broadcasts conflict with the Smokies’ game I recommend you tune in.

Just to get it on the record, I believe the Royals’ Cinderella coach will turn into a mouse-driven pumpkin before it is all over.
