Facility posthumously recognizes longest serving board member this weekend

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Jubilee Place is so much more than affordable housing. Sure the downtown Trail building has provided a safe and cozy shelter for low income residents since 1982. More than that, the facility fosters lasting friendships and has renters feeling a joyful sense of pride for the place they call home.

Frank Ross moved into Jubilee Place 12 years ago after his Rossland Ave. apartment became part of the city's teardown that made way for the Gulch chain up area.

Ross, now 56, says being given the chance to move into low income housing was a stroke of luck that he thinks about often and is thankful for everyday.

“It's just been wonderful to have the friendships of the residents in here,” said Ross, who was born with cerebral palsy.

“One of the things I am most proud of is on April 1 this year, one of the residents celebrated her 96th birthday. She came downstairs and I put my arm around here and said 'I am proud to say you are like family to me,'” he added.

“We are literally 40 years apart in age – to have a friendship like this means a lot to me when someone has worked as hard as she has, as has many of the residents in here.

To say we really have a family atmosphere is something that I am very proud of.”

Just outside his back door at Jubilee Place, Frank Ross has a favourite spot to catch rays and chat with passersby. The apartment complex offers much more than affordable rent for tenants, says Ross, who over the years has build lasting friendships with his neighbours. ity gather each night in the first floor common area to chat, play cards, work on jigsaw puzzles, or call bingo.

be done so we have a shelf ready project in 2016,” he added. “And we can say this is a high priority and hopefully get funds for it in next year's budget.”

The job won't be completed in one go and will cost a pretty penny, but the $40,000 first step to improve the Glover Road walkway and railings drew to a close Wednesday afternoon.

One of the city's oldest and steepest connectors from downtown Trail to the upper west side could be in for a revamp next year.

“The Glover Road sidewalk is in desperate need of repair,” Public Works Manager Larry Abenante told Trail council Monday. “The sidewalk, handrails, pillars – it's all in terrible shape.

This year, all the engineering work will

“It's a testament to a lot of the people that do live here,” said Ross.

with but I do like when people try to reach out, be sociable and have friendship to offer.”

Neighbours come together for special occasions like Christmas dinners or New Year's Eve parties and birthdays are celebrated on the last Thursday each month. “I've always felt comfortable here and have strong ties to people in here because friendships have been built over the years,” Ross added.

Thirty three years ago, Jubilee Place began as a low income housing project for seniors under the umbrella of the Trail Elderly Citizens Housing Society (TECHS).

“If you've had an opportunity to visit Jubilee Place, you will quickly come to learn that it's not your average apartment building,” says Scott Daniels from the Rotary Club of Trail, the organization instrumental in the concept, non-profit operations and maintenance of the facility. “The caretakers Dianne and John contribute a sense of camaraderie and community with residents.”

Jubilee Place is hosting a special event Saturday at 1 p.m. to posthumously honour Ed Nichols, a 48-year Trail Rotarian member and longest serving TECHS board director.

“In times of good or poor health, Ed had time to play a leadership role with Jubilee Place,” explained Daniels. “For Ed, service-above-self was not only a motto of the Rotary, but it was a way of life for him.”

Nichols had been ailing before his passing earlier this year, so before leaving his position, he assembled a new board of directors.

“He was determined to serve on the board as long as he could,” noted Daniels. “And that he did.”

re-designing the handrails to code and addressing storm drainage, top the list of upgrades in the city's Request for Proposal (RFP), issued three weeks ago.

The Glover Road project garnered considerable interest, says Patrick Gauvreau, Trail's roads and grounds superintendent. “There was an on-site meeting shortly thereafter where over a half dozen engineering firms were present,” he said.

Although Prime Minister Stephen Harper hasn't officially declared the beginning of federal election campaigning, local Liberal candidate Connie Denesiuk wants to hear from her constituents.

Denesiuk is extending an open invitation to anyone who has questions or comments to stop by the newly opened Trail campaign office on Bay Avenue.

“I take very seriously, the need

to find out what people want from me in the West Kootenay,” she said, adding that the newly shaped South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding provides unique challenges to candidates.

“There are more than 40 communities represented in this new riding and I am making it my business to find out what people are thinking (before the election).

“Trail is not like Castlegar and Rossland is not like Trail. One size doesn't fit all here.”

Ed Nichols Recognition Tea on Saturday

Local

Water main breaks take bite out of budget

FROM PAGE 1 In Ed’s letter of resignation dated Dec. 30, 2014, he wrote, “My last day of service as president will be Friday, Jan. 2, 2015,” Daniels added.

“This was the day that Ed passed away.”

Residents and the board of directors invite friends, past residents and past directors to the Ed Nichols Recognition Tea on Saturday, to remember the man dedicated to keeping this special place up and running for so many years.

His family and community members contributed new furniture that adorns the entrance foyer, and a plaque with his photo will be hung in memorium.

Frank Ross will be speaking during the event, saying he doesn’t need to write anything down because the memories of Jubilee Place run so deep. “Everything in here has been special for me,” he said.

“I am very lucky to be in here considering the friendships and what some other people are paying for rent. There’s not enough places like Jubilee Place and that makes this even more valuable.”

Nelson

Quest to solve mysterious boom continues

By Will Johnson Nelson Star

Four Kootenay fisherman drifting near the Balfour ferry terminal at 6 a.m. on Saturday were just starting out for the day when one of the occupants saw a blinding flash in the sky accompanied by a momentary streak that slammed into a mountain across the way.

“I don’t think it was as big as a car. It flashed and made a bright streak, but it went out before it hit the mountain. I was waiting for the smoke, but it didn’t come,” said one occupant of the boat.

Only after the fact did the witness make the connection between the sighting and widespread reports of a thunder-like boom that was heard in Nelson, Rossland, Castlegar, Trail and many communities in between.

“We didn’t hear the sound, maybe because the motor was running in the boat. There were four of us, but only one saw it,” said Harry Popoff.

The witness, who didn’t want to be identified, said at first he thought was hallucinating.

“There was an extreme bright light coming across the sky and it went out before it hit the mountain. Later there was another person talking about it in another boat, so I didn’t feel so bad about maybe hallucinating. It was seen by somebody else, not only me.”

Seismologist Taimi Mulder told the Star it’s most likely the sound was caused by a military aircraft or a meteorite. The Arietids meteor shower, which happens annually between May and July, may be responsible.

Crumbling infrastructure on Glover Road is the focus of the city's latest engineering project called the Glover Road sidewalk/handrail improvement design project. Repair work could begin as early as next year, though the extensive job will most likely be phased over a few years.

FROM PAGE 1 Applicants were given a bottom-to-top overview of the job during a walk up to Binns Street, with many questions asked and challenges identified, said Gauvreau.

“Today (Wednesday) I am hoping to receive several proposals and will look at putting the best one forward,” he continued. “In order to have the Glover Road sidewalk/handrail shovel ready for a capital project in 2016.”

After a series of water main breaks this year, the city’s sidewalk maintenance budget has swelled to cover unexpected repairs in eight Trail locations including a 150-foot stretch on Birch Avenue.

Annual inspections triggered fixes to tripping hazards on downtown sidewalks, replacing of wheelchair ramps at Bay Ave. and Farwell, as well as the Glover Road RFP. Additionally, the water main breaks, not including the significant failure during the Bear Creek Valve Replacement Project, are expected to topple the 2015 budget.

While making water supply improvements at the Bear Creek Well, located just off Highway 3B near the city’s RV Park, a water main situated under the roadway burst.

Trail council allotted $250,000 for the job that once complete, will up the Green Gables reservoir capacity, (near Walmart) from 65 per cent to 100 per cent.

The upgraded water supply is expected to be up and running this week.

Infrastructure a main issue for candidate

FROM PAGE 2 The Summerland resident chose Trail as the site for a campaign office because it is centralized in the newly drawn riding. Previously, many campaign offices have been in Nelson, which is no longer in the riding, or in Castlegar, where NDP candidate Richard Cannings opened his Kootenay campaign office this past weekend.

“Trail is central to so many communities like those in the Beaver Valley, Rossland and it isn’t far from Castlegar,” said Denesiuk. “To me, it just makes sense to have our office in Trail.”

NDP candidate Dick Cannings opened his office in Castlegar last Sunday while Conservative candidate, Marshall Neufeld, hasn’t committed to any campaign office locations yet.

Denesiuk was in the Silver City this past weekend, put-

ting some finishing touches on the new office, and while here, she had a chance to chat with constituents about what they needed from her as a federal representative.

“There have been a lot of issues that I have been hearing about, but one that I think is important, and it connects to providing jobs and keeping young people in the community, is infrastructure,” she said.

“It provides well-paying jobs, especially for young people. We know there are infrastructure deficits in Trail and the communities surrounding it.

“We always look at infrastructure in terms of bigger cities, but we need to remember that the smaller resource communities are the backbone of our country.”

Denesiuk showed concern over the lone vehicle crossing over the Columbia River in Trail, and wants to know if

voters agree.

“When I was in Trail, there was a fire truck going across the (Victoria Street bridge) and I thought, ‘what if something happened on that one bridge?’” she said.

“It puts the region in a vulnerable position. I think another access across the river would be good. I know there is the pedestrian bridge, but I think this is a piece of infrastructure that constituents will want to work

towards.

“We have unique issues and people here like it that way. They enjoy the small communities. I want to give people a chance to give feedback and to just engage the people of the Lower Columbia and the West Kootenay.”

Denesiuk’s newly opened Trail campaign office is located at 1205 Bay Ave, and will be staffed three or four days a week on a consistent basis by volunteers.

Castlegar

Man charged in robbery Castlegar News A 29-year-old Castlegar man is facing charges after a local business was robbed early Sunday.

RCMP said the man entered the Columbia Ave. store and browsed for several minutes before threatening to produce a weapon and demanding money. He fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.

A suspect was arrested a short time later and is in custody facing robbery charges. He was due in court in Castlegar Thursday.

PEOPLE SHANIA TWAIN

Country superstar gives back to less fortunate children

BY BOAZ JOSEPH

Surrey North Delta Leader

Never the Twain shall meet?

Hardly that, for 18 Hjorth Road Elementary students on Monday.

Country superstar Shania Twain visited the North Surrey school to open Western Canada’s first Shania Kids Can program to help less fortunate inner-city kids.

The Ontario native and winner of five Grammy Awards, who is currently on tour, told the Grades 1-5 students that she didn’t have it easy growing up in

Ontario.

“I changed schools 17 times in my childhood.”

Her parents sometimes couldn’t pay rent, or had to move for new jobs.

“I was one of the lucky ones,” Twain said of her rags-toriches musical career.

Asked by eightyear-old Zoe about how she became a “famous singer,” Twain replied she first had to become a singer – starting with learning how to play guitar at age eight. By age 10, she was writing songs.

“Most of the time,

Surrey’s Shania Kids Can is partnered with The Dilawri Foundation and the Surrey Board of Education.

Board of Education Chair Shawn Wilson said that some students don’t have the same resources and privileges as others, potentially putting them behind.

“Our board has always made it a priority of doing all we can to ensure that all students in our district have every chance to realize their potential,” he said.

Shania Kids Can will operate at Hjorth Road Elementary for five years.

“I think the program will speak for itself as we go,” said Twain.

Twain told the Hjorth Road kids that her family was so poor they often ran out of

Road’s poorest students with school supplies, food and recreation equipment at a clubhouse that will be set up at the school.

Students will have access to counselling, academic support and personal skills development, including musical instruments.

Basic supplies can change a child’s whole day, helping them integrate, socialize, become more confident and concentrate on their studies, said Twain.

“This is what this program is set up to do: To stop these kids from falling through the cracks. It’s based on what I needed at various times in my childhood.”

In 1957, Lee launched his horror career, starring as the monster in Hammer’s “The Curse of Frankenstein.” In 1958 Lee made his first appearance as the famous vampire in “Dracula,” opposite Peter Cushing’s Van Helsing.

He railed against the typecasting, how-

ever, and ultimately the sheer number and range of his roles from Sherlock Holmes to the founder of Pakistan - secured his place in film history.

“I didn’t have dreams of being a romantic leading man,” Lee told The Associated Press in 2002. “But I dreamed of being a character actor, which I am.”

ORNETTE COLEMAN

Jazz legend dies THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Whatever rules in jazz hadn’t been shattered by Charlie Parker and other bebop artists, Ornette Coleman finished off for good.

Coleman, who died Thursday at age 85, brought to jazz the kind of open-ended, nonnarrative approach that Jackson Pollock used in painting and James Joyce in books. In the late 1950s, he originated “free jazz,” challenging the bebop establishment by abandoning the conventional song form and liberating musicians to freely improvise off of the melody.

He was only the second jazz performer to win a Pulitzer Prize, cited for his 2006 album “Sound Grammar, and was the rare jazzman voted into the elite American Academy of Arts and Letters.

He also received a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master award, and a Grammy lifetime achievement award, even though none of his recordings won a competitive Grammy.

Provincial Few criminal cases remain unresolved after 2011 Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver, says Crown THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - British Columbia’s Criminal Justice Branch says prosecutors are getting close to wrapping up cases against hundreds of people charged after Vancouver’s Stanley Cup riot four years ago.

Police have so far forwarded 366 reports to prosecutors, resulting in 887 criminal charges.

Crown spokesman Gordon Comer said 285 of the 300 people charged pleaded guilty, seven were convicted, and one was acquitted. Charges were not approved against 66 others.

He said charges were stayed against four others, a decision against two people will be announced in September and that a warrant remains outstanding against a woman who returned to Australia.

“There are 11 people awaiting sentencing and there are two people who are awaiting a verdict,” he said.

The branch has not received any reports since last October from police recommending charges, and Comer said he’s not expecting any more.

He said a substantial number of Crown lawyers have worked full time on the files for a few years, and the branch has spent nearly $4.5 million pursuing prosecutions stemming from the riot.

He said that amount covers just prosecution services, such as Crown lawyers and administrative staff, and do not include investigation or court costs.

The riot broke out on June 15, 2011 after the Vancouver Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final.

Cars were burned, windows smashed, and stores looted along several blocks of the downtown core, causing millions of dollars in damage.

The Insurance Corp. of B.C. announced in June 2013 that it had filed a civil claim against dozens of people charged with or convicted of participating in the riot.

Vancouver Island

Whose job is it to clean oil spills?

Parksville News A Georgia Strait Alliance report provides a critical look at how coastal municipal governments will be able to deal with marine oil spills.

The report looks at a variety of factors, including oil spill preparedness, response, and recovery capacity.

The report found that there was only one local government that participated in the study that was fully prepared for an oil spill.

“I’m expecting we’re probably unprepared,” Parksville city Coun.

Sue Powell said in response to the report.

“Whose job is it (to clean up the spill)? Is it the oil company’s?”

According to Powell, there is a lack of understanding between local and senior governments on the role of municipalities and a lack of resources locals can

use in the event of a spill.

The GSA report also cites a lack of communication between the local and provincial governments, as well as a lack of funding.

At a Parksville city council meeting on Apr. 20 following Vancouver’s English Bay oil spill, a motion put forward by Coun.

Kirk Oates instructed city staff to send a letter to Premier Christy Clark “reiterating that AVICC’s (Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities) position on oil spill preparedness is also the position of the City of Parksville ... that the AVICC request the Province of British Columbia order an independent audit of the current state of oil spill preparedness in B.C.” Clark responded to the city within 10 days.

“I’m looking for-

ward to the post-incident review — which will be made public — so we can better evaluate all the gaps that exist, and then focus our attention on how we and our federal counterparts can ensure something like this never happens again.”

Oates said Parksville will be affected at a local level so it “doesn’t matter” what level of government handles a preparedness plan.

Parksville’s beach, ecosystem and food system would be detrimentally affected by an oil spill, Oates said.

Jani Drew, emergency coordinator for the Regional District of Nanaimo, said the RDN does have an overall emergency plan which includes a contingency plan for marine oil spills.

The plan identifies actions and accountability, Drew said. As the Western Canada

Drought forces more restrictions

By Melissa Fryer

Nanaimo News Bulletin

No one in the Nanaimo area can remember ever going to such extreme watering restrictions.

And it’s not officially summer for another 10 days.

The City of Nanaimo will increase water conservation in the city’s boundaries to Level 2 on Monday, following a bulletin from the provincial government that the Island, Gulf Islands and Haida Gwaii are experiencing Level 3 drought con-

ditions.

“I don’t know that we’ve ever gone to Level 2 watering restrictions,” said Bill Sims, the city’s manager of water resources.

Level 2 restrictions mean no watering is permitted between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Washing driveways and parking lots is prohibited.

Level 4 drought is the highest rating and could result in provincial water managers suspending shortterm water permits or industrial water licences.

Marine Response Corporation deals with the marine-based spills, the RDN contingency plan involves coordinating with the public and understanding the role of each agency, Drew said.

However, five of the six communities in the GSA report said yes when asked if there was a “need for strengthened engagement between the WCMRC and local government.”

Warfield council continues to work towards goals

I

t has been a busy couple of months in the Village of Warfield.

We had our long serving Chief Administrative Officer Vince Morelli retire and we have hired Jackie Patridge into the Village as the Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Officer. Jackie is a resident of the Village of Warfield and is a CGA. Jackie has been a welcome addition to our tight knit team.

As a council we have several goals for 2015 that we are working towards and some we have achieved.

One of the most significant of them was to secure a long term deal for library and recreation; we were pleased to announce a long term partnership with the City of Trail recently. During the elections, one thing we continuously heard from our residents was that they wanted a recrea-

tion agreement with the City of Trail.

When negotiating, both teams thought it would be in the best interest of both communities to have in place a long term agreement to get both municipalities through this election term and into the next council’s term.

This allows much more security for both communities and residents are able to participate in recreation both in Warfield and in Trail.

In the next few weeks, Warfield council will be working with a consultant to develop our five-year strategic plan as well as working on the framework for our asset management plan.

As with the recreation agreement, as a council, we want to not only be looking at our current situations in the village but develop a plan for the future, both for the current council and future.

We would like future

TED

PAHL

Community Comment councils to be able to understand the direction we are heading and have the decisions we are making now fit the framework for those future goals.

This is also a great opportunity to gain knowledge from individual councilors and the goals they have in mind, but also to develop that team atmosphere between our office staff and our works crew.

We are a small municipality and as a team, we function so much better when we are all on

the same page and have a common direction.

Warfield days was a huge success this past weekend, and after a bit of a hiatus, the kids all wheel parade was back with roughly 30 participants. We had a pancake breakfast put on by Kootenay Savings, games in the park for the kids, music entertainment in the park, a steak dinner and the Warfield pool was opened for the annual free swim.

Thank you to all of our volunteers who helped make Warfield Community Day a success! We are also happy to say that the pool is now open for the summer season!

There are some exciting things happening in the Village this summer. The Village is working with DIG 2 Ride and WAVES (Warfield Village Enhancement Society) in the creation of Phase 1 of a bike pump track in Beaver Bend park. We are

excited to have received a grant from the Kootenay Savings Foundation to go towards this project and are awaiting the word on a few other grant applications we have put out there. We also have our Youth Leadership Program starting up as well after receiving a grant from Columbia Basin Trust and are looking at other potential grants for seniors programming and recreation.

Ted Pahl is the Mayor of Warfield Community Comment is an opportunity for elected officials from our local municipalities to update citizens in the region on the events, plans and progress in their respective communities. Every Friday, the Trail Times will present, on a rotating basis, a submission from councils, school trustees or regional district directors.

Congratulations to 2015 JL Crowe Great ‘Grease’ performance Grads Letters to the editor

Being one of many that attended the performance of “Grease” by the JL Crowe Secondary School Drama Class program my sincere congratulations on a great job.

Your audience attendees

were fortunate to be in the presence of unbelievable talent.

All your hours of rehearsal was very evident and we all thank you for that.

It takes a lot of volunteers

behind the scenes to also make this happen – many thanks.

This truly was an evening of cherished memories.

Kidney Walk in planning stages In 2015, The Kidney Foundation will launch its biggest and highest profile campaign ever with a goal to not just change, but save lives of kidney patients in communities across BC. We know that until there is a cure, a kidney transplant remains the best available therapy for someone on dialysis. We cannot stay silent when almost 50% of British Columbians die before they receive a life-giving kidney transplant.

The Kidney Foundation of

Canada, BC & Yukon Branch is here to help each and every kidney patient until there is a cure. We exist to help prevent kidney disease or delay the onset of kidney failure. We also support patients who are at risk of, or who have, chronic kidney disease (CKD) by encouraging early detection and prevention activities, by providing patient services and information for people on dialysis, and by promoting organ donation. On September 27th., 2015 our Kidney Walk will take place in

Trail.

We are in the planning stages and hope this event will be bigger and better than previous years. We are in need of many volunteers and are hoping the public will come forward and help us make the event a huge success. You can contact J McKinnon at robnjo@telus.net for further information. Thank you for your continued support in the area.

Senators, MPs need to be watched An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press Before members of Parliament get on their high horse — that’s you in particular, Tom Mulcair — to criticize the Senate as a soiled institution that needs a change in diapers, they should take a look at the dirt in their own stable first.

And the suggestion the Senate should be abolished because many of its members abused their spending privileges is absurd. No one is talking about eliminating the House of Commons because of spending abuses there. That’s not the way it works.

As auditor general Michael Ferguson says in his damning report on Senate expenses, Canada’s red-faced chamber needs a major overhaul in the way its members manage and spend their money. There must be clear rules monitored and audited by an independent body.

The Senate might be an anachronistic institution that has lost the respect and trust of the people, but its future is a question for another day. For now, the priority is finding a way to ensure the politicians will behave.

That is the only way public trust can be restored, assuming it has not vanished for good.

Too many of the senators who got caught in Mr. Ferguson’s web have wiggled and squirmed and pretended if mistakes were made, they were honest ones. The rules weren’t

clear, they say.

Everyone knew what was going on; nothing was hidden; money, in some cases, will be repaid, even if nothing improper was done, and on and on.

In the case of one former senator, the auditors could not even determine if all his expenses were for parliamentary business. They did find nearly $50,000 in spending that had nothing to do with Senate business, including personal travel with his wife. Like most of the other senators under scrutiny, he protested his innocence and denied any wilful wrongdoing.

The various excuses and equivocations might have worked if proper auditing functions had been in place at the start.

Then, at least, they could have said any transgression was committed in the cold light of day. But that wasn’t the case.

Far from it. The Senate has resisted scrutiny for decades, and it never took the initiative to ensure it was accountable and transparent.

Their friends in the House of Commons will undoubtedly express moral outrage, but it will be hard to take them seriously. The level of scrutiny of MPs’ spending is nowhere near the standard now being recommended by the auditor general for the Senate.

Five years ago, MPs from all parties, including the NDP, blocked auditor general Sheila

Fraser’s attempt to audit House spending, which was more than $500 million.

A public uproar ensued, and the House eventually agreed to a watered-down performance audit, providing no names were released. She was also not allowed to audit the individual spending of all MPs, who feared it might impinge on their parliamentary independence. Spot checks of individual MPs were allowed.

Many provinces and other countries routinely conduct full audits of their public officials, but Canada’s MPs have always acted like they have something to hide.

Several cases of inappropriate spending over the years have fuelled public cynicism and reinforced the idea MPs must be audited, too.

Bev Oda, the former minister of International Development, for example, paid $1,000 a day for limousine rides and $16 for a glass of orange juice while staying in a luxury hotel in London, England. The abuse was only discovered through an access-to-information request.

The audit report contains similar examples of unbelievable arrogance, such as the senator who justified an airline bill to his brother-in-law’s funeral on the grounds he was only going because he was a senator.

It’s enough to make the blood boil. It better be enough to compel vigorous oversight for all representatives of Parliament.

RELIGION

Trail & District Churches

The Birth of United Church of Canada On June 10, 1925, a uniquely Canadian institution, the United Church of Canada came into being. The birthing process had been a long one starting with a challenge in 1902 to create a national church that would serve the growing population of western Canada. Conversations between Presbyterians, Methodists and Congregationalists proceeded in fits and starts and were interrupted by World War I. The birth in 1925 was a messy one because ways had to be found to accommodate the needs and desires of those Presbyterians who, for good and sufficient reasons, chose not to come into this union. The Great Depression of the 1930s created strains for the new Church as it sought to find ways of supporting rural congregations, especially those on the Prairies, who were struggling to survive the drought. In the post World War II era the United Church grew in step with the increasing number of baby boomers and now as the baby boomers age, questions are asked about the future of the United Church.

Over the years the United Church has attempted to be the conscience of the question raising questions about the use of alcohol, recognition of the People’s Republic of China, divorce, economic order and many others. The United Church’s relationship with new Canadians and aboriginals has both bright spots

and occasions, where in retrospect, our actions have left something to be desired.

United Church congregations in the greater Trail area trace their ancestry back to Methodist and Presbyterian roots in the region. Over the years they have celebrated births and mourned deaths of individuals. Their spaces have been used for community gatherings of all sorts. They have hosted discussion groups and informational sessions on a variety of topics. From their locations they have supported the depressed, the lonely and the isolated. They have served the hungry, the homeless in a variety of ways: through provision of a bag of groceries or short term financial assistance; a listening ear, or other supports.

Like the national church, the local congregations wonder about their future. But then none of us are sure what the future of the church will look like.

Will we have the buildings that mark our presence or will we have become house churches? Will we have resident professionals who serve our congregations or will there be a greater pooling of resources. Who knows? But in some way the Church will continue to exist, faithful in its service of both God and humanity.

Holy Trinity CWL honours members and grows in community awareness

P

resident Marjorie Nutini welcomed 60 CWL members and friends to the June 2 year end dinner meeting at the Trail Legion.

Special recognition was given to Holy Trinity’s 13 women who have attained 55 years or more of faithful membership in the League. Christian Family Life chair Bunny Dallas asked members to sign postcards that will be sent to Prime Minister Harper and Justice Minister McKay expressing concern about the proposed legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Under Community Life, co-chairs Anne Pisacreta and Sister Norma Gallant performed a skit to remind members to contribute 1% of their luxury item costs to Development and Peace, which assists relief projects in Canada and worldwide.

Patricia Nutini reported that she is corresponding with the council’s Foster Child in Santiago, Chile.

Linda Zol, Parish Activities chair, thanked members for their assistance at the Pentecost Mass, when 10 parish young people were confirmed, and at the feast of the Holy Trinity, when seven children were baptized.

She noted that the annual Parish Picnic will be September 27, from 1-5pm at Birchbank.

Members approved year end donations to Skool-Aid, the Church flooring fund, via Pilgrimage of Faith, Community in Bloom’s incrEDIBLE planter project and Sky Shin of Fruitvale, who will be attending World Youth Day 2016 in Poland.

Education chair Pam Fischer advised that the council’s Marguerite Bourgeoys Scholarship will be presented at JL Crowe’s graduation ceremony, and two awards will be given at St. Michael’s June assembly.

Anne Pisacreta introduced guest speaker Ann Godderis of FAIR, who presented the findings of a three year project, Working Together for Economic Opportunity, that assessed the concerns of area low income women.

Her video presentation was a very effective series of local photos and personal reflections contributed by eight Lower Columbia women who voiced the problems they face in our community.

The barriers the women encounter include transportation, affordable childcare, housing, education, employment and health.

Godderis noted that in the past three years she has made 30 presentations to local business, civic, service and religious groups, all of whom have offered practical support from their growing awareness of these community barriers.

She thanked CWL members for their loyal contributions to the local Food Bank, which are of great benefit to low income families.

President Nutini thanked Godderis for her untiring work and wished members a relaxing summer.She reminded those in attendance to pray for their designated prayer companions The next CWL general meeting will be Sept.

1 at Holy Trinity.

Supreme Court rejects government’s limited definition of medical marijuana THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Medical marijuana can legally be consumed in a range of ways - from cannabis-infused cookies and brownies to cooking oils and tea - the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Thursday.

The decision to remove limitations on what constitutes legally acceptable medical marijuana was being hailed by advocates of alternative forms of pot, but it angered Health Minister Rona Ambrose.

It was yet another rebuke of the Harper government’s tough-on-crime agenda.

Not only was it a unanimous 7-0 ruling, but the court made a point of attributing the written decision to the entire court - something the justices do when they want to underline a finding.

Until now, federal regulations stipulated that authorized users of physician-prescribed cannabis could only consume dried marijuana.

But limiting medical consumption to dried pot infringes on liberty protections under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the court said.

“The prohibition of nondried forms of medical marijuana limits liberty and security of the person in a manner that is arbitrary and hence is not in accord with the principles of fundamental justice,” said the written judgement.

The case stems from the arrest in 2009 of Owen Smith, former head baker for the Cannabis Buyers Club of Canada, who was charged after police found more than 200 pot DOLBY 7.1 SURROUND SOUND

cookies and cannabis-infused olive oil and grapeseed oil in his Victoria apartment.

Smith was acquitted at trial and later won an appeal.

The initial trial judge gave the federal government a year to change the laws around cannabis extracts, but the high court said Thursday its ruling takes effect immediately.

Alex Repetski of Thornhill, Ont., was thrilled at the news.

For about 18 months he has been converting dried medical marijuana into an oil to give to his three-year-old daughter, Gwenevere, who has a debilitating form of epilepsy that has left her developmentally delayed.

Since starting on the lowTHC marijuana, Gwenevere has seen an incredible recovery, Repetski said.

But by converting marijuana to oil, Repetski could have been charged with possession and since he was giving it to his daughter, who is too young to smoke pot, he could have been charged with trafficking.

“Nice!” Repetski said after he read the decision.

Limiting medical marijuana use to dried pot “limits life, liberty and security of the person” in two ways, the court said.

First, the prohibition on possession of cannabis in forms other than dried pot places a person at risk of imprisonment when they wouldn’t face the same threat if they possessed dried marijuana buds.

It also exposes people with a legitimate need for marijuana to other potential medical ailments, it stated.

“It subjects the person to the risk of cancer and bronchial infections associated with smoking dry marijuana and precludes the possibility of choosing a more effective treatment,” said the court.

The decision was the latest in a series of rulings by the high court against the Harper government on a variety of issues.

In February, the court unanimously rejected the ban on providing a doctor-assisted death to mentally competent but suffering and “irremediable” patients and gave Parliament a year to draft new legislation.

In recent years the court has struck down mandatory sentences for gun crimes, federal efforts to tighten parole eligibility and the country’s prostitution laws.

It also squelched the Harper government’s Senate reform plans, saying they require constitutional change and provincial consent.

Ambrose said she was “outraged” at the marijuana decision.

“The big issue here is the message about normalization,” Ambrose said.

“The message that judges, not medical experts, judges have decided something is a medicine.”

Ambrose noted that marijuana has never faced a regulatory approval process through Heath Canada.

“This not a drug,” she said.

“This is not a medicine. There’s very harmful effects of marijuana, especially on our youth.”

First ace for longtime doctor and Rossland-Trail golf pioneer Dr. Jack Colbert, 93, nets hole-in-one in Kimberley

By Guy Bertrand Times Staff

One of the Rossland-Trail Country Club’s founding fathers is now part of Trickle Creek Golf Resort history.

Last Saturday 93-year-old Dr. Jack Colbert joined his son’s annual golf trip to the Kimberley course when he was offered a chance to hit a ball on the par-3 8th hole.

“They had a tent set up in support of prostate cancer treatment,” explained the longtime Trail surgeon, who retired in 1983.

“They mistook me for a course marshal and I said I was marshal for just this group.”

Doctor Colbert joined his son John’s golf outing that features John’s hockey-playing buddies from Edmonton. The group has made the trip for the past 23 years and Jack joins them for the jaunt around the course and hits the odd ball.

“The fellow said, ‘Go over to that tee and hit a golf ball.’”

So Dr. Colbert grabbed his driver and connected on the 108-yard hole.

“I hit it, I saw it go and I saw it land but I didn’t follow it. Then everybody started yelling.”

Doctor Colbert’s ace was his first ever despite being a member of the Rossland-Trail golf club for over 60 years.

“You never know when it’s going to happen,” he laughed.

Doctor Colbert’s relationship with the Rossland-Trail course dates back to its infancy when he was part of a group of five pioneers including Reg and Roy Stone, Bill Forrest and Ernie Gordon who helped create the course.

Back then it featured the 18-hole

Doctor Jack Colbert (middle) enjoys the moment as he celebrated his first holein-one last Saturday at the Trickle Creek Golf Resort in Kimberley. Pictured with him are Don O’Dell, vice-president of Canadian Western Bank in Red Deer and Lars Christensen, vice-president of Canadian Western Bank in Edmonton. track in Trail and nine holes in Rossland. When Birchbank became its own entity in the 1970s, Colbert served as president.

“I’ve probably played hundreds of rounds (at Birchbank) but never got a hole-in-one.”

Ironically, Dr. Colbert said for a $10 fee, as a fundraiser for prostate cancer research, he would have been entered into a contest to win $2,000 for a hole-in-one.

Unfortunately, because he wasn’t even expecting to hit a ball, he wasn’t eligible for the cash prize. But that

didn’t deter him from buying a round for the house to celebrate his shot.

“If I had of paid (the $10 fee) then I probably wouldn’t have made the hole-in-one,” he joked.

The Trickle Creek resort wasted no time celebrating Dr. Colbert’s achievement on its website and proclaimed him their oldest player to get an ace.

The doctor’s extensive historical link locally ranges from roles with the Kootenay Savings Credit Union and Selkirk College boards to team doctor for the 1961 world champion Trail Smoke Eaters.

Equipment issues should be loudly alerted

J

ust a note about hockey equipment.

CBC ran an, “exclusive,” report about a supposedly top of the line goalie mask ($1,000 sounds like a top of the line item to me, anyway) that broke under moderate pressure and may result in a junior goalie being blinded in one eye.

It may be an important warning for B.C., because the manufacturer, Bauer, is the primary supplier of equipment to the B.C. Hockey League - which is an important factor in minor hockey across the province.

Three-team tourney set for Butler Park

By Times Staff Wood bats are out but baseball action is still on this weekend for the Trail Invitational Tournament.

Due to last-minute changes to the lineup of teams, the usual wood bat designated tournament will now simply be a round-robin affair between three squads.

The Trail AA Orioles, the Trail Sr. Orioles and the AAA Northeast 49ers will offer a sampling of three levels of local baseball.

Action begins tonight with the AA squad taking on the 49ers at 7 p.m. at Butler Park.

Games continue Saturday at 1 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. Sunday’s schedule has games at 11 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m.

While the two Oriole squads are very familiar with the home confines of Butler Park, the 49ers will be making their first visit to Butler Park since 2012.

“It’s been a while,” said manager Connor Parker.

Nevertheless, he said his team is eager to get in a full slate of weekend games.

“We play about three games a week, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so this will be a lot (of games).”

However, he added with a fairly balanced lineup it’s an opportunity to give everyone some playing time and work on some basics.

“We have pretty stiff competition in our league,” he said, adding there isn’t much time to perfect different fundamentals during league play.

“We’ll be able to work on everything.”

The 49ers play in the highly-competitive Spokane American Legion AAA, which features four Spokane teams including the Northstars who are coached by Jim Wasem, who spent several years coaching in Trail as well as during the 1995 Babe Ruth World Series.

The 49ers, who are hovering around .500 10 games into their AAA season, are comprised of players from the region around Chewelah, which, Parker pointed out, gives them a much smaller talent pool than their Spokane rivals.

Nevertheless, he said his team battles every game and is looking forward to testing their skills against the Sr. Orioles as well as the AA squad.

See schedule in Scoreboard Page 11.

Northwest Honkers on the June 20 weekend.

It is a surprise in many ways that senior baseball still exists in the area, so we should enjoy it, and being at Butler while the big boys play. ***** I think it is easy to make a case that Christine Sinclair is the best female soccer player in history, period, and in case of conflict I will choose Women’s World Cup action featuring Canada over the grinding, boring, Stanley Cup finals, which have no compelling storyline attached (not one that compells me to make any extra effort to watch, anyway).

Go, Canada, Go. Continuing last night (right after I compose this), I hope.

Don’t ban the beards: players

THE CANADIAN PRESS TAMPA, Fla. - Don’t ban the beard.

That’s the consensus among players at the Stanley Cup final after NBC Sports chairman Mark Lazarus suggested the NHL consider outlawing playoff beards so fans can better recognize faces.

Lightning captain Steven Stamkos understands the thinking behind it but can’t support banning the beard.

“It’s such a long-lasting tradition,” Stamkos said. “Obviously hockey is not one of the more recognizable sports, especially in the States with some of the other pro leagues that they have. But we’re gaining interest. ... I don’t think guys are going to be willing to change anytime soon.”

While the Stanley Cup is the end of the road for one team, playoff beards are evidence of the long road to get there. Some players have facial-hair superstitions and take pride in getting as bushy as possible.

is spearheading the annual Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth.

The latest findings, released Tuesday, paint a dire picture with Canadian kids assigned a D-minus for overall physical activity.

The report card found that 70 per cent of three-to-four-yearolds met early years guidelines of at least 180 minutes of daily physical activity at any intensity.

Older children fared much worse.

Only seven per cent of five- to 11-year-olds and five per cent of 12- to 17-year-olds met recommended guidelines of 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity daily. Walking quickly, skating and biking are examples of moderate activities, while running, basketball and soccer are considered vigorous activities.

ParticipAction teamed with a leading research group to develop a position statement advocating for active outdoor play.

The report addressed the “protection paradox” which may be stifling kids’

ability to be more active and resilient by keeping them indoors.

Research highlighted the benefits of outdoor play in boosting activity levels.

Another study found Grade 5 and 6 students who were often or always allowed to go out and explore unsupervised were 20 per cent more active than kids who were constantly supervised.

“We need to recognize the difference between danger and risk. And we need to value long-term health and fun as much as we value safety,” the position statement reads.

“Because we fear kids being alone playing outside, or we fear them scraping a knee, we constantly supervise kids (and) keep them indoors. And we know that kids indoors are less active and have higher levels of sedentary behaviour,” said Elio Antunes, president and CEO of ParticipAction.

The report outlines several recommendations for parents, educators, health professionals and governments among others to help promote outdoor

play.

Antunes said parents should ensure kids are streetproofed and provided with some limits while encouraged to explore outdoors. But they aren’t the only adults who should shoulder the responsibility.

“A lot of schools have banned ball playing during recess or running for fear of injuries because kids scrape a knee. ... So schools have a real role to play in encouraging kids to go outside and play - not creating policies that inhibit that,” said Antunes.

In addition to improved bone health and reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, there are added cognitive and psychosocial benefits to being in nature, noted Mark Tremblay, the report card’s chief scientific officer.

“You need to make decisions. You explore.

There’s more creativity. You’re not being driven by a digital screen. We’ve lost the calibration of what’s associated with healthy childhood development and we need to recalibrate society.”

So once we start eating or drinking it, we don’t know when to stop.

Meanwhile US congress blamed fat, not sugar for the disturbing rise in cardiovascular disease and the food industry responded with ranges of “low fat, heart healthy” products in which the fat was removed, but the substitute was yet more sugar!

Healthy eating on camping trips

By Simone Jennings Interior Health

With summer upon us the itch to get outdoors becomes difficult to ignore. Our family likes to make time each summer for a few camping trips.

Since we have a toddler I like to make sure we are organized with food. I plan simple

meals and prepare food before we go. I try to use certain foods in multiple meals and snacks, such as cheese, yogurt, and bread, to save space in the cooler. Of course we also pack less healthy snacks for around the fire, whether it’s making S’mores or passing around a bag of chips.

Present level: 1747.09 ft.

7 day forecast: Down 0 to 6 inches.

2014 peak:1750.37 ft. / 2013 peak:1749.42 ft.

Nelson:

Present level: 1745.77 ft.

Levels can change unexpectedly due to weather or other conditions. For more information or to sign-up for unusual lake levels notifications by phone or email, visit www.fortisbc.com or call 1-866-436-7847.

But, like at home, I think it is important that most of our food be nutritious. Here are some foods that are often found in our camping cooler: Prepare in advance: · Make and freeze whole grain muffins, pancakes, or loaves. · Pre-measure bags of rolled oats with nuts, seeds and dried fruit to cook on the camp stove. · Hard boil eggs for protein at breakfast or lunch. · Cook rice, quinoa or pasta the night before you leave and have it in the first couple of days. · Make and freeze chili and/or pasta sauce. It will act as ice in the cooler and keep for a couple of days. · Freeze lean meats or fish with marinade in freezer bags so they are ready for the BBQ.

· Make and freeze hamburger patties. Use ground chicken, turkey or lean grass fed beef.

Breakfast ideas: eggs and toast, Greek yogurt with fruit and granola, cold cereal (choose something low in sugar) with milk or yogurt, peanut butter and jam sandwiches with sliced apples and oranges, oatmeal or packages of plain instant oats (just add hot water).

Lunch ideas: whole grain pitas with hummus and cut up veggies, sandwiches: egg or tuna salad, or veggies and cheese on whole grain bread, a hotdog “alternative” with chicken or turkey sausage on a wholegrain bun (choose sausages that are lower in sodium and free of preservatives), burritos made from leftover

chili and grated cheese in wraps.

Dinner ideas: chili and buns, pasta sauce with whole grain noodles, lean meat of your choice with a variety of vegetables, grilled veggies: toss a variety of chopped veggies in olive oil with fresh herbs and wrap in tinfoil and grill, try carrots, potatoes, yams, beets and/or onions, lean hamburger patties on a whole grain bun Snacks ideas: whole grain crackers and cheese, apple slices and peanut butter, trail mix: nuts, seeds, dried fruit, chocolate chips, campfire cones: sugar cones, chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, chopped strawberries and banana - wrap in tinfoil and grill over the fire Now get out there and enjoy the great outdoors!

I have asked Will to sell this house so we could buy something that belongs to both of us. I told him it would make me feel more secure. He absolutely refused. I asked that he add my name to the deed, and he refused that, too. Now he yells at me that I only married him for his money.

Annie, there isn’t enough money in the world to put up with this.

Will says he loves me, but I get the impression he loves his house and money more. I told him if he doesn’t make some changes, I am leaving. All I want is some security. Am I wrong?

He will say he is sorry because he doesn’t want to lose control over you. This is a recipe for years of misery.

Dear Annie: Two years ago, I married “Will.” We were both widowed. I had a good job, a nice home and a car. Will was retired and wanted someone to travel with, so I chose to retire in order to spend time with him. He didn’t like my home, so I sold it.

He already had three cars and said we didn’t need a fourth, and because he preferred his cars to mine (even though mine was newer and paid for), I sold that, too. All I asked was that he provide lifetime rights to his home if something were to happen to him. He agreed and had a will made to reflect that.

Here’s the problem: Two months after the marriage, we had a disagreement, and he threatened to change the will. He told me to leave because it was his house.

He has since made the same threat numerous times. I am not allowed to make any changes to the house without his approval, which he rarely gives. I found out he was cheating on me, and when I confronted him, he hid the car keys and told me to get out. I called my sister

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This has been a powerful, busy time because the Sun, Mercury and Mars are in your sign. Today, however, you seek peace and quiet, because you need to catch your breath.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Personal details about your private life might be under discussion by others. It’s just a passing moment where you are high-viz.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Do something different today. Shake up your normal routine, because you want some adventure. If you can travel, by all means, do so.

Talk to people from different backgrounds.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Stay on top of financial matters, especially banking, so that you know what’s going on today. Discussions about shared property could be significant.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Because the Moon is opposite your sign today (this happens for two days every month), you have to compro-

mise with others. Be prepared to go more than halfway, which is no biggie.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) It will please you to do anything that makes you feel you’re getting better organized. Get rid of what you don’t need; take care of what you do need. Slowly, slowly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a playful, pleasureloving day. Meet others to

enjoy good food and drink.

Sports events, playful activities with children and romantic dates will please you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You would like to cocoon at home today, at least for part of the day, so you can relax. A conversation with a female family member might be important.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Trust your hunches today.

You are a very psychic sign, and sometimes you know in your bones what you should do.

On behalf of the family of

Mel Smeland

who passed away on May 16th, we would like to send our heartfelt gratitude to all his good friends and acquaintances whose outpouring of love & support helped us get through such a difficult time.

Of particular note, we would like to say a special thank you to the following: Colleen Johnston who not only became dad’s beautiful guardian angel in his last few months but also became our rock in his final days; Ron & Gloria Fabbro whose constant presence we leaned on - not to mention Gloria’s wonderful baking we so enjoyed; Ruben & Jean Tataryn whose love for our dad was so apparent; Carl Resch whose quiet strength so helped us during dad’s final days in the hospital; Rick Campbell for his phone calls and offers to help; Joanne & Amanda Junker for making 20 lbs of potato salad for the reception - wow!; Mel’s neighbours - Bill and Enid Vanbeek, Enzo and Toni Driutti, and Loretta Thorpe who kindly dropped off gifts of food; Amanda & Ed Moretti who are some of the most amazing people we’ve met and who went way beyond the call of duty in every way; Moe Regnier from the Rex Hotel who was kind enough to contribute food for the reception; Terry Yuri and Derrek Simester from Mountain View Cemetery, for their patience while helping us select a burial site and for moving the very large boulder to accommodate a sitting area by Dad’s grave; Deb, Terry, and the rest of Dad’s staff; finally, Jordan Wren at Alternatives Funeral Services, who is not only amazing at what he does but also helped the three of us get through the process of the Funeral preparations and who made us all cry when he stopped by the Crown Point during the funeral procession and placed a white rose on the doorstep. Nice touch Jordan!

Our father, Mel, may be gone from us now but we take heart in the fact that he lived life to the fullest and not only had family who loved him dearly but many amazing friends as well.

Thank you all once again, Rick, April & Rob
