The Society for Protection and Care of Seniors is partnering with the BC Health Coaltion (BCHC) to inform voters about the healthcare platforms of each party in the upcoming federal election. Residents are being asked to pledge a vote for the candidate with the most comprehensive public health plan.

Senior advocates promote health care at Trail markets

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

What do politics and the Trail Market on the Esplanade have in common?

The Jubilee Park venue provides the back drop for a local seniors’ advocacy group to talk health care and your vote in the upcoming federal election.

“Our main focus is public health care,” explained Ron Cameron from the Society for Protection and Care of Seniors (SPCS). “What we are saying is if enough people vote for public health care, then the politicians that are elected would have a strong mandate to strengthen public health care in Canada,” he added. “Because over the last few years, public health care has been eroded.”

The Greater Trail/West Kootenay group is asking all voters to pledge a vote for the party with the strongest commitment to public healthcare, universal Pharmacare and

programs like home support.

Cameron clarified this is a non-partisan venture, and not only for seniors.

The group is using the mar-

ket to connect with people and share the message that health matters, particularly at a federal level.

“We are saying, ‘If you are young, this is your future, so look ahead to your future,’” he said. “If Medicare is being challenged, or changes dramatically, then you won’t have the same kind of protection you’ve had since you were an

infant.”

In tandem with a non-profit organization called the BC Health Coalition (BCHC), the Trail group asks market-goers to sign a pledge form and provide contact information such as an email or phone number.

“BCHC is a central piece to this whole thing,” said Cameron.

“They will evaluate where each party stands on healthcare solutions and then develop an election guide. Then the coalition will send this information to people who have signed the pledge.”

Insight gathered during the outdoor events will be forwarded to BCHC to assist with the development of an “election plan for the vote,” Cameron said.

“First, we are hoping this will encourage people to vote because in the last federal election, there were nine million people who didn’t,” he continued.

It’s hard to imagine what goes through a person’s mind after hearing a rumour his house is on fire.

That’s what happened to Trail Times columnist David Thompson when he first arrived at his favourite watering hole Wednesday afternoon.

“A friend walked in and said, ‘Your house is on fire,’” Thompson said. Keeping a level head, he phoned home immediately, but was told the situation was not quite that dire.

“But (I was told) it was dangerous, so I went home.”

As Thompson neared Teck, the nearby Tadanac exit was already obscured by smoke.

“But the wind and I were travelling in the same direction so the smoke was mostly cleared by the time I got to our home.”

He and his wife quickly packed up essentials, such as medication and work-related equipment and mustered their pets.

“Smoke was thickening and Teck security staff was unlocking gates and prowling around a gas line about 400 yards above us,” explained Thompson. “I think, that created the rapid response of helicopters and even a small plane.”

A change in wind direction during the first couple of hours helped keep the fire away from residences, Thompson speculated. “For several hours this morning, it felt like we were living in the sound track of ‘Apocalypse Now.’” Just after 4 p.m. Wednesday, firefighters from Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue did respond to a report of a fire above Oasis, confirmed Dan Derby, deputy regional fire chief.

Regional crews remained in the residential area until BC Wildfire Services arrived, but muncipal firefighting services were not required, he added.

Now called the Hanna Creek Fire by the BC Wild Fire Services (not the Birchbank fire as circulated in social media), the wildfire was reported to be less than one hectare Thursday afternoon.

Water restrictions unchanged in Trail

By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

Fugitive dust control trumps tighter water restrictions in the City of Trail, for now.

B.C. municipalities were asked to voluntarily reduce water consumption by 20 per cent, following a Level 3 drought alert issued by the province Aug. 7.

Following a water conservation review by the city’s utilities department, Trail council agreed bylaw water regulations should remain status quo as part of ongoing environ-

mental responsibilities.

“This was tempered by the fact that we have a commitment within the Trail Health and Environment Committee (THEC) to minimize dust levels in the community,” Trail Mayor Mike Martin told the Trail Times after Monday night council.

“For that reason, the city remains exempt from these conservation measures.”

Standard city restrictions in place limit watering times, require flow control devices on hoses, and discourage

washing of sidewalks and driveways.

“In addition to this, the city has undertaken reducing irrigation system run times anywhere between 30 to 50 per cent in our various park areas,” said Martin. “In addition, there is a program that reduces the capacity of the nozzles on various sprinkler systems where we don’t need as intense watering.”

Trail is very fortunate to have such a robust water supply system, he added.

“Both the Columbia River and the Bear Creek Aquifer...supply sources appear to be unaffected by the conditions we are facing right now.

“So a combination of the water supply, and commitment to the THEC plan, the recommendation was to leave conservation measures as they currently are.

But if things deteriorate, we will be subject to another review.”

Fruitvale is the only local community that upped water restric-

tions following the drought alert.

The municipality recently switched most operations from Kelly Creek surface water to ground water from two production wells, one at Maple Avenue, the other on Columbia Gardens Road.

Water usage had remained stable since Level 2 regulations began in June, says Lila Cresswell, the village’s chief administrative officer. But after the drought alert from the Ministry of Forests, Land and Resource Operation, restrictions were tightened to Level 3, meaning one-hour watering times are now restricted to two days a week.

Hosing of residential sidewalks and driveways is not allowed.

Standard water restrictions remain in effect in Warfield and Rossland, with the latter reporting full reservoirs sourced from various streams.

Montrose’s yearround restrictions were tested when an atypical-

ly dry start to summer had water users pulling more than 28 million litres from the municipal supply. That’s one of the highest use periods in village history, totalling four million litres more than June last year.

The same is expected for August, says CAO Bryan Teasdale.

He said no significant changes have been identified in the two production wells that supply groundwater from an aquifer near Beaver Creek, but users are urged to reduce water consumption for other reasons.

“We have experienced an increase in usage,” Teasdale pointed out. “And, as such, our operating costs for our water supply and distribution activities have seen increases.”

Lawn and garden sprinkling is permitted between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. on designated days and flow restriction devices are required on hoses, nozzles and spray guns.

Elsewhere in the region, the Kelly Mountain fire near Fruitvale is noted to be 100 per cent contained and in the mop-up stage.

A quick response by BC Wildfire quashed a small fire reported near Winlaw Thursday night, although a wildfire about 6 km northwest of Renata is showing rapid growth, Fanny Bernard, fire information officer with the Southeast Fire Centre said Thursday. Seven fire-

Further west, the 75-hectare Paulson Pass fire remains active, and not contained though no structures or communities were under threat at press time.

The 4,600-hectare fire burning west of Rock Creek was listed as 50 per cent contained Thursday afternoon, with 137 residents still on evacuation alert.

Local group pushing for national plan From page 1 “And we want health care to be a priority for the federal politicians.”

The SPCS members support five goals for the next federal government, no matter who is sitting in power.

“We want a new health accord to restore funding to the provinces,” said Cameron, adding, “over the next five years, $5 billion...will be removed from healthcare transfers to the provinces.”

Senior groups are asking federal politicians to invest in a national seniors’ healthcare strategy.

“They can do a lot to help provinces develop a better healthcare strategy,” reiterated Cameron.

Additionally, the local group and BCHC are pushing for universal Pharmacare, because many seniors can’t afford their medications.

“Poverty is most prevalent among senior “Poverty women,” Cameron added. is most “We want the federal party to invest in a national prevalent poverty plan to eliminate among senior poverty.” women.”

The increasing number of private clinics Ron Cameron undermines public health care, he concluded, so senior organizations are requesting federal assistance to enforce Canada’s universal health insurance system (Medicare).

For information, visit bchealthcoalition.ca or email spcstrail@yahoo.ca.

The group is ultimately starting a conversation, which it hopes will lead to a stronger voter turnout.

In 2011’s federal election, about 61 per cent of registered Canadian electors turned out to cast a ballot, according to Elections Canada. While this is up slightly from the nearly 59 per cent who voted in 2008, it is a far cry from the 75 per cent that Canada averaged in the decades following the Second World War. Prime Minister Stephen Harper dropped the writ Aug. 2, which makes the 42nd Canadian general election the longest in the country’s history.

Residents will be asked to cast a ballot in the newly formed South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding Oct. 19.

South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding candidates include NDP MLA candidate Richard Cannings, Liberal Connie Denesiuk and Conservative candidate Marshall Neufeld.

‘Granite Lady’ mayor not running again THE CANADIAN PRESS LAC-MEGANTIC, Que. - The mayor who became a household name for her poise in the aftermath of the rail tragedy that killed 47 people in LacMegantic in 2013 will not seek re-election this fall.

Colette Roy Laroche, who has been mayor since 2002, said on the town’s website Thursday she will not seek another term.

“The prospect of another two-year mandate makes me think about my priorities,” she said in the statement.

“The workload that is demanded, especially over the past two years, and the illness and subsequent death of my husband (last February) tell me I have to slow down, rest up and think about my health and my family.”

HOURS OF OPERATION: HOURS OF OPERATION: Monday – Saturday: 9:30am to 5:30pm Monday – Saturday: 9:30am to 5:30pm Sunday: 11am to 4pm

Roy Laroche, who did not give interviews Thursday, said she believes the next municipal leaders will have lots of work to get through as the reconstruction efforts continue in Lac-Megantic, which has about 6,000 residents.

“Projects are underway and I am convinced that the next town council will have plenty of inspiration in rebuilding our municipality,” she said. “More than ever, Lac-Megantic needs men and women who can form a dynamic team.”

The 47 people died when a runaway train carrying crude oil barrelled into Lac-Megantic in July 2013 and derailed, sparking explosions that also wiped out much of the downtown core.

In an interview with The

Canadian Press ahead of last year’s first anniversary of the tragedy, Roy Laroche opened up about the personal impact the disaster had on her.

Two of her cousins died and her son could have died in the catastrophe.

She said she had thought constantly over the year about her cousins Jean-Pierre Roy, 56, and Eliane Parenteau, 93, as well as the other victims, even as her long days as mayor consumed much of her life.

“Just passing by the damage every day - several times per day - reminds us,” she said.

“But despite this, we must continue to move forward. If we let our emotions take over, I think I would just stay at home.”

Families want more details of treatment of female prisoners

By Michael Tutton

THE CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX - Grieving family members of two women who died this year while serving time at a Nova Scotia prison say they weren’t kept informed of their loved ones’ deteriorating health and in one case still don’t know the cause of death.

Marion Park said during a Halifax news conference Thursday that almost four months after her 38-year-old sister Veronica Park died on April 24, the family hasn’t been given details by the Nova Institution for Women on her hospitalization and death at a Truro hospital.

She says she was upset to hear from an access to information official recently that a formal investigation into Veronica’s death

was only started by the federal prison on Aug. 17.

“We’re still waiting to find out what happened to our sister,” said Park via speakerphone from her home in Corner Brook, N.L. “We’ve been told it could take until the end of this year to find out the cause of death.”

Park said the nine siblings and Veronica’s 17-year-old son should have been told of her sister’s health issues sooner.

“Our sister started complaining of health problems while she was incarcerated and she was having breathing problems which weren’t being dealt with,” said Park.

“Maybe 20 minutes before she passes we found out she was on the last leg of her

journey from the anesthesiologist. ... This is how we were notified. We were not notified by Correctional Service Canada. Not one call came from Nova Institution to notify us that our sister was having any health problems or that she had just been hospitalized.”

In a separate case, 22-year-old Camille Strickland-Murphy died on July 28 while serving her three-year sentence at the Nova Institution for attempted robbery of a pharmacy.

Her family says in the obituary the mentally ill woman took her own life.

Camille’s twin brother, Keir StricklandMurphy, said he didn’t receive any information from prison staff about two prior self-harm attempts by his sister.

Couple whose baby was locked in hotel safe contacts police THE CANADIAN PRESS NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. - Police say a baby who found locked inside a Niagara Falls, Ont., hotel safe and freed by a maintenance worker this week have concluded the incident was an accident and there are no concerns for the child’s safety.

Niagara Region police say the parents contacted police from Markham, Ont., on Wednesday evening.

Police say children were playing in the Howard Johnson hotel room on Tuesday when they decided the safe was a good spot to hide but an older sibling didn’t know how to open it after the baby was inside.

They say the parents immediately sought out staff to help them get the child out, adding that the child never lost consciousness in the safe and was constantly calling for her parents.

More food-borne illnesses predicted Slaughter facilities understaffed, fewer meat inspectors working

By Chinta Puxley

THE CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG - The union representing Canada’s meat inspectors says slaughter facilities in Manitoba are severely understaffed and public safety is at risk.

Bob Kingston, president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada’s agriculture union, says slaughterhouses in the province typically operate with one-third fewer inspectors than required by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

That will be exacerbated by the federal government’s decision to cut $35 million from the agency’s budget, which will mean 273 fewer inspectors across Canada by 2018, he says.

“Canadians do not trust the food industry to police its own safety practices, yet the government is relying more heavily on food-production companies to self-police,” Kingston said Thursday at a Winnipeg news conference, one of several the union has held across the country recently.

“Without action to address the inspection shortage, it is just a matter of time before the next major food-borne illness outbreak occurs.”

Tainted cold cuts from a Maple Leaf plant in Toronto led to an outbreak of listeriosis that killed 22 people across the country in 2008.

Three years ago, meat tainted by the E. coli bacteria prompted the XL Foods meatpacking plant in southern Alberta to recall 1.8 million kilograms of beef in Canada and the United States. No one died, but health officials confirmed that 18 people tested positive for the bacteria linked to the meat.

Kingston said the current shortage of federal meat inspectors is so acute, that Manitoba’s plants are borrowing provincial inspectors to fill in the gaps.

“They can be pulled from those facilities without a lot of screaming and yelling so they can get away with it,” he said. “Because inspectors working in Manitoba’s federally licensed processing- and cold-storage facilities barely meet minimum staffing levels, this is like robbing the poor to pay the destitute.”

A spokesperson for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency was not immediately available for comment.

Rossland digs into Washington Street project

R

ossland council is having a quiet summer after our very busy spring.

We are pleased with the number of things we accomplished so far in this term but it’s nice to have a bit of a break too. Rossland and Trail have met several times to discuss the recreation situation but have not yet come to any conclusions. It’s difficult to find a solution that Rossland can afford when our residential tax base already supports so many recreational facilities and programs within our own municipality.

Both councils are working together to reach an agreement but there are no guarantees. However, we are all hopeful.

Rossland council’s workload will start to ramp up again soon because we will be starting our financial planning work in October instead of the traditional pattern of beginning in January. First, council will be asking for some input from the public as we go into our next strategic planning session. Watch for details soon. Our goal is to provide the best value for the taxpayers’ dollar.

Rossland relies almost entirely on residential taxpayers. Without any large utilities or industrial taxpayers to help defray our expenses, its critical that

we do the best we can with our very limited resources.

This means we must focus on the core municipal responsibilities of roads, sewer and water before we can consider other important expenditures.

KATHY

MOORE

Community Comment We are excited to be moving forward with our Washington Street project. This essential reconstruction of all the water and sewer utilities under Washington Street, as well as improvements on the surface, has been planned for years. Unfortunately, in 2010, when our grant applications for this work and the Columbia Avenue project were unsuccessful, this part of the project was put on hold.

Now, since we got a significant grant of over $2 million dollars from the New Build Canada, Small Communities Fund, this fall we will be busy get-

ting the tender documents finalized for that project.

Council decided to hold an Alternative Approved Process (AAP) to get elector approval for the borrowing that will be required to meet our portion of the project. Rather than holding a costly referendum on the project, the AAP is an economical way to move it forward. If 10 per cent of the electorate do not want the City to borrow the money, then the borrowing decision will go to a referendum. Council felt confident that our community has a deep understanding of the importance of this project and thus the AAP was an appropriate and cost effective means to elicit approval as required by provincial legislation.

Some of the underground pipes are over 100 years old. If the water main breaks, it could leave up to 80 per cent of Rossland without water. City crews have been patching the line for years - it’s well past its expected life expectancy and it is hard to imagine a more urgent infrastructure project in our town at this time.

We are waiting to hear the results of other grant applications for this project and intend to apply for some additional pedestrian and cycling infrastructure grants for the bike lanes

and sidewalks. If none of our applications are successful, we may need to borrow up to $4 million dollars for the project.

We are still hopeful that other levels of government will recognize the critical nature of this project and provide additional support.

Other facilities owned by the City of Rossland are slated to undergo significant upgrades too. Coming up in 2016 will be the museum’s Phase 1 renovation, the library’s renewal project and the renovation of the historic Miners’ Hall. All of these projects have received some grant funding but need more money to really see the work through to completion. Next year will be busy!

Many thanks to the tireless volunteer community groups who are pushing these projects forward.

Summer is flying by! It’s been hot and with smokey skies but we are lucky there have been no forest fires within our city boundaries.

Rossland has taken advantage of every grant offered to work on controlling potential forest fire fuel mostly dead wood and dry underbrush that surrounds our city lands. The provincial grants provide the majority of funding to control these potential hazards to our security. That said, our efforts would not be

enough if a fire were to get out of control. Please be very careful.

On a lighter note, if you haven’t seen the Gold Fever Follies show this year, it’s not too late but the last show will be Saturday.

Don’t miss it. Each year the show is very different and the young cast members come from all over the country to hone their skills and entertain us.

This year’s show is a fun romp that pokes fun at the rivalry between Trail and Rossland. Earlier this summer, I enjoyed attending the show with Mayor Mike Martin of Trail. We were able to assure the audience that we work together very well. Just last week, I saw the show again with Mayor Patricia Cecchini and over 40 Beaver Valley seniors.

Everyone had a great time. The show runs daily Tuesday through Saturday 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Kathy Moore is the mayor of Rossland.

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.

Letters & Opinion

Firefighters owed gratitude for willingly going into danger

R

udyard Kipling famously observed that Alberta had all hell for a basement when he visited in 1910. Now, 105 years later, I wonder what he would have to say about the summer we have experienced here in B.C. I went to bed in Naramata on Saturday night dreading the return drive to Creston, faced with the prospect of driving north through Kelowna and Vernon, then over to the Arrow Lakes, across the ferry and to Castlegar. The night got better when I checked my cellphone and learned that Highway 3 had reopened after three days of closure for the Rock Creek fire.

It has been part of the deal on visits to the Okanagan both this summer and last, sitting in the evening and watching fire activity. The deck where I stay at Summerhill Pyramid Winery in Kelowna has twice provided views across Okanagan Lake to West Kelowna, beyond which fires seem to have become a regular occurrence. Last summer I watched helicopters swoop down to scoop up water from that same lake, only from Naramata, where a hillside fire threatened to drop down toward the tiny and very compact community and winery-filled area.

As I drove home through Oliver, where fires were burning on the mountainsides, Osoyoos, where smoke from Rock Creek filled the air, Greenwood (where I joked with the lovely folks in the Deadwood Café that their “This is a smoke-free environment” sign was false advertising) and into Creston, where the night before Creston Valley firefighters had crossed the U.S. border to be ready if the fire that has been raging for more than a week started to move into Lister and West Creston, I thought about Kipling. I also thought about how these events bring out the best and worst in people.

On Friday evening I read a

Facebook post that repeated a report from an unknown source that a winery on Black Sage Road near Oliver had burned to the ground. Shortly after came a similar report about a

LORNE

ECKERSLEY This is the life

different winery. On that same night, a number of people received calls that Lister was being evacuated. None of those news items had a lick of truth to them, proof that idiots are alive and well, starting and spreading rumours with impunity.

But it was impossible to ignore the fact that, idiots (including those who drive into damaged areas to satisfy their curiosity and more modern ones who fly drones into fire zones, grounding air response efforts) aside, these events highlight the value of a well-organized society that co-ordinates responses and prioritizes needs.

It seems almost miraculous that the hundreds of fires burning around the province haven’t caused even more destruction to human settlements. The 30 residences burned in the Rock Creek area are the first this year, to my knowledge.

We’ve been lucky here in the Creston Valley, though it might not seem like it with smokefilled air inflaming respiratory issues and reminding us that danger is not all that far away.

But with water levels at historic lows and tinder dry interface

areas surrounding our communities, we are incredibly vulnerable, as are others throughout the province. But in those communities are firefighters and resources at the ready, heading out at each report of fire. Anyone want to complain about the tax dollars that support those services now?

I thought it was especially heartening when I learned that firefighting crews raced from the Creston Valley to the Rykerts border crossing on Friday night, as winds threatened to push the Parker Ridge fire north and into our own communities. The border at the U.S. can seem like a barrier at times, but that cooperation between our countries can be organized so quickly is comforting.

With Environment Canada already predicting similar weather for next year, and even climate change deniers like our prime minister grudgingly admitting that our environment is morphing at a rapid pace, grey might become the new blue during the summer months, when smoke-filled air dims skies, reduces visibility and hampers breathing.

Many of us in this province believe we are living in an earthly heaven, even at this short distance from Kipling’s “all hell” (the reference was to the vast gas reserves around Medicine Hat, which he visited). The fires that dot the province, though, even as we are only early into the traditional fire season, are reminders that our heaven can turn into horror with the crack of a lightning bolt or the casual tossing of a cigarette from a vehicle.

They should also give us cause for gratitude that we have services and resources that work to protect us, and firefighters who willingly go into danger on our behalf.

Lorne Eckersley is the publisher of the Creston Valley Advance.

Conserve water during forest fire season An editorial from The Free Press Fires are burning throughout the province as B.C. experiences one of the driest summers in recent history.

With little precipitation in many regions, rivers are lower than they

should be this time of year. So much so, there are angling suspensions in many creeks in the area and lawn-watering restrictions have been put into place.

So, why do some people continue to insist on running their

sprinklers and watering systems for hours on end during the hottest times of the day?

Everyone’s grass is a less-than-luxurious shade of green, the result of the hot, dry weather. Rather than trying to achieve a

green lawn, shouldn’t we be more concerned about taking quicker showers, making sure to shut off the water when we brush our teeth and reserve our watering routines to only those plants that provide us nourishment?

ly until you actually remove the internally rusted parts.

As most of our gasoline now contains ethanol (ethanol has an affinity for water) the water problem is more prevalent.

So what can you do to cross bad fuel off your list as the reason your vehicle or gasoline powered implement does not run well? Keep the fuel fresh. When storing gasoline or any implement with a gasoline tank keep the tank full and use a fuel stabilizer product to reduce the rate of oxidation and absorb the water.

When your daily driver does start to exhibit problems in the way it runs it is not likely bad gas but more likely a developing issue that is not going to be cured with the next tank of gas.

Water does not dissolve in gasoline, and it is heavier than gasoline; therefore it hangs out at the bottom of the fuel tank. The bottom of your fuel tank is where the fuel pump picks up the fuel.

When the amount of water is big enough, and the temperature drops below freezing that puddle of water will freeze, and the pump will be sucking on an ice cube.

Water dispersed throughout the fuel system also causes corrosion in any steel parts. Once any internal components of a fuel system are rusting life with your vehicle will be less than pleasant. Your vehicle will require a steady diet of fuel filters to keep it running half-decent-

Bad gas only exists after long-term storage do not. Left sitting long enough and exposed to the atmosphere gasoline’s volatile components will disperse leaving a liquid that would be difficult to ignite. It may still work in your vehicle, but your performance will suffer.

Gasoline also degrades by oxidation.

This causes much bigger problems in your gasoline engines; be it your cars, trucks, boats, lawn mowers, quads, sea-doos, and skidoos. The presence of oxygen with your fuel in the long term (roughly a year) will cause the fuel to form gum and varnish.

These substances plug passageways in the fuel system. Varnish will plug carburetor jets (metered fuel passageways), injector nozzles, and fuel filters to name a few items. Removing this stuff will likely

What you see

wenty-five years of automotive repair and it has been very infrequent that I have seen a vehicle with a problem that was related to bad gas. I can’t even begin to count the number of times customers suggest that their vehicle ran poorly just after filling up their tank.

When we get to the underlying problem, it is not likely a problem with the fuel.

Probably the most common bad gas situation is that which occurs after longterm storage. We are talking years without use. For fuel to burn it must have a certain volatility. The volatile components of the fuel allow it to vaporize when it is sucked or sprayed into your engine. Vapors will ignite readily. Liquids

Trail, 20 years after the Babe Ruth World Series

By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

Twenty years ago, almost to the day, Greater Trail hosted arguably the most prestigious and memorable event in its sporting history – the Babe Ruth World Series. For the next three issues, Trail Times Sports will take a walk down the base paths of time, and revisit the tournament that ran from Aug. 19-26, 1995; highlighting its evolution, its players, and those that made the event possible.

Hosting the Babe Ruth World Series is not just a good story of a great sporting event, but, more, it is a shining example of what a community can do when galvanized by a simple idea and the will to make it happen.

The notion of bringing the age 16-18 Babe Ruth World Series to Trail was first tossed out by Art Mercer, chair of the 1991 Pacific Northwest Regional baseball tournament.

Having hosted three successful regional tournaments, Mercer suggested to long time Babe Ruth baseball coach, Brian Pipes, that the Silver City should take a shot at the Babe Ruth World Series.

Pipes was pessimistic at first, after all the

Series had never been held outside the United States, but a conversation with Dan Ashman would change all that.

“That was the seed that was planted,” said Pipes. “And then Danny and I are good friends, so I see Danny one day, and say, ‘you know what Art threw at me?’

He said, ‘What?’ -‘A world series.’ And he says, ‘Okay, why not?’”

Once Ashman jumped on board the A.M. Ford owner and consummate community supporter developed a prospectus. Following a consultation with regional commissioners, he sent the inquiry to Babe Ruth Inc. headquarters in Trenton, New Jersey.

A positive phone call later invited Pipes, Ashman, and fellow executive director Eleanor GattafoniRobinson to a World Series school and orientation in Jamestown, N.Y., where they learned the finer points of hosting a successful Series.

Meanwhile, the Trail 1995 Babe Ruth World Series Organizing Committee was growing, and the initiative gaining momentum.

Doug Stanley was installed as Host President, Keith Smyth to recruit volunteers and chair the admin-

From left: Keith Smyth, Dan Ashman, and Brian Pipes took time on Wednesday to reminisce about their roles in bringing the Babe Ruth 1995 World Series to Trail.

On Monday Sept. 26, 1994, Ron Tellefson (left) president and CEO of Babe Ruth League Inc. and Doug Stanley, president of the Trail Babe Ruth World Series Organizing Committee complete the paperwork at the official signing of the deal that will bring the world’s best 16-to-18 year old ballplayers to Trail. istrative division, Adie Tambellini, was brought in as government liaison, Gail Rebelato as executive assistant and many, many others.

“The key was Doug Stanley at the top,” said Smyth. “He knew how to control money, and he kept the budget well under control.”

Brian Pipes agreed adding, “He was the guy that could go pick up the phone and get something done . . . But there was a lot of key people in there.”

After Ashman

watched his son’s baseball game get cancelled because the clay infield was full of water from the sprinklers, he recognized almost immediately that improvements needed to be made to Butler Park. In 1991, the upgrade known as “Butler 2000” officially broke ground.

Ashman brought in Rud Haar, the groundskeeper at Nat Bailey Stadium in Vancouver.

With Haar’s expertise, the support of the City of Trail and Cominco, which donated equip-

ment and manpower, the field was transformed ahead of schedule into a world class stadium.

A top-notch field was a major step in securing the Series, the other was the detailed planning and organization of volunteers.

Smyth and his team set up shop at the old Texaco Garage on Victoria St. and after a quick makeover, combined with the visibility of the Trail Babe Ruth World Series sign, it didn’t take long for residents to buy in.

Flyers bring former Smoke Eater on board

By Times Staff The Philadelphia Flyers have named Trail native and former Smoke Eater Brady Robinson as their goaltending development coach.

Last month, newly hired Flyers goaltending coach Kim Dillabaugh brought Robinson along on an ad hoc basis to work together with the prospects attending the Flyers Development Camp

in Voorhees, NJ. Flyers general manager Ron Hextall indicated at the time that the organization planned to hire a development coach and goaltending scout.

Robinson and Dillabaugh have worked together in the past, primarily in conjunction with the Goaltending Development Institute (GDI). The GDI was founded by Ian Clark (now the

goaltending coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets) in 1996. Dillabaugh, who started out as a GDI student, became its British Columbia regional director.

The 32-year-old Robinson comes to the Flyers from the Victoria Royals of the Western Hockey League.

He has spent the last nine seasons with the franchise, which relocated to Victoria

from Chilliwack, in 2011.

He is also a member of Hockey Canada’s Goaltending Advisory Group.

Robinson played junior hockey with the Smoke Eaters of the British Columbia Hockey League.

He is a graduate of the University of Lethbridge with a bachelors degree in Kinesiology.

The first thing Smyth did was create an organizational chart, fill all the roles, and put responsible people in place.

“Being one event, there was a real camaraderie because you are working with top level people on this one,” said Smyth. “You really create an alliance of people who are on board and once you get that head group on board you have a good leadership quality, and that’s necessary, you have to start from that.”

By November ‘92, the committee had sold over 500 family passes, had 35 per cent of the billets in place, and secured corporate sponsorship. But perhaps the most crucial point of the process came during the Babe Ruth World Series Task Force site inspection in July ‘93.

Led by Babe Ruth president and CEO Ron Tellefson, the inspection would make or break Trail’s bid for the Series. Highlighted by a dinner sponsored by the Ferraros and the overall impression made by the impassioned volunteers and residents of Greater Trail on the Task Force, Tellefson told the Times, “This is a vibrant, friendly community . . . and your facilities are as good or

Meet your 2015 Smoke Eaters Charity Softball Game Wed, Sept 9 5:30pm Butler Park th

better than any we’ve seen.”

For Ashman, that visit sealed it for Trail.

“He (Tellefson) knew we had a baseball background, he knew there had never been a World Series held outside the continental United States, but there was an appetite to hold one.

“I think the difference was two things, one when he came here and visited the city, he saw the passion of the people on the committee, the people on the sub-committee, we had it all organized like we do in Trail. The other thing is he saw the pride in the homes and pride in the community.”

In October ‘93 Babe Ruth Inc. announced that Trail’s bid was successful and the Silver City would become the first Canadian city to host the Babe Ruth World Series.

In a letter to Stanley prior to the Series, Tellefson made a bold but ultimately sound prediction: “In all my years with Babe Ruth Baseball, I have never seen a community more organized for the Spring Visitation than Trail.

“I sincerely believe that Trail will host one of the finest World Series ever in the history of Babe Ruth.”

MAKING STRIDES

Sept 25 - 27th, 2015

The Trail Smoke Eaters looked to get young skaters back on track with their power skating clinics going all week during the day followed by a lively evening 3-on-3 scrimmage. About 40 skaters attended the sessions run by Smokie coach Nick Deschenes and new assistant Ryan Donald. The Smoke Eaters open their training camp on Monday.

When a primary relationship ends we often find ourselves lost, scared, and overwhelmed.

Most aspects of our lives are thrown into turmoil and it is hard to move forward. Yet, it is also a time of tremendous potential and new learning where we have a chance to define ourselves in ways that more clearly reflect who we are.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis.

Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

good solution for most people.

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology.

Trail & District Churches The Call to Perfection order to have an undivided heart in their love for God. But there are degrees of renunciation. The call to leave all, that is, to leave all personal property, to renounce marriage and “Jesus said, ‘If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give it to the poor, and you will have treasure in family, and to live a celibate life for the love of God is not for all, but only for those to whom it is given. It is a higher, heaven; and come, follow me’” (Matt. 19:21). deeper, more radical, more literal, and more complete This is the call to a life of perfection. All are called to a way of living a life of renunciation and self-denial for the life of perfection. “You, therefore, must be perfect, as your love of God. It is a deeper degree of renunciation. While heavenly Father is perfect” (Matt. 5:48). But the call that all are called to renunciation and self-denial (Matt. 16:24) Jesus today addresses to this rich young man to be perfect so that they can focus their love on God with less division by selling all that he has and giving it to the poor is a still of heart, only some are called to this higher and deeper more radical call within the general call to perfection. All degree of renunciation. And those who are so called are an are called follow this basic principle of living completely for inspiration to all the rest and to the world as well.

Jesus, but not all are called to renounce all their property and be celibate. The call to renounce all and live a celibate life is a higher call that is not given to all. It is a call to live So Jesus blesses with a greater blessing, with the for Jesus alone in a more radical, literal, and complete way, hundredfold reward, those who make this greater with all the love of one’s heart, with a completely undivided renunciation. He says, “Everyone who has left houses or heart in one’s love for him. For the official Church teaching brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, on celibacy as a higher state of life, see The Catechism of and inherit eternal life” (Matt. 19:29 NKJV). the Catholic Church, paragraphs 916, 918, 922, 923, 931, 932, 933, and 945, available online.

On the other hand, those who refuse to deny themselves Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.

The celibate is in love only with God. He is not in love with any human being. He is not in love with a human spouse.

All the love of his heart can therefore go directly to God without any division of heart. This is the deeper call to a life of perfection that Jesus is today addressing to the rich young man. Those who follow this higher call then devote their entire life to God, to the service of his people, and to proclaiming the gospel to the ends of the earth. Their greater and more radical renunciation benefits the whole Church and the world as well. Their lives inspire others to be more dedicated to God in all that they do.

So renunciation is for all. All are called to live a life of renunciation of the unnecessary pleasures of the world in

for the love of God will have great difficulty entering into the kingdom of God. Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” (Matt. 19:23-24). A rich man is surrounded with worldly pleasures and succulent food, and if he lives a life of self-indulgent worldly pleasure, his heart will become dull and be divided by these unnecessary worldly pleasures, and God will become ever more distant to him. Self-denial and renunciation is fundamental for every Christian. All are called to this, and those that are called to a higher degree of renunciation inspire the rest of the Church to live, each in his own way, a more dedicated Christian life of love for God and neighbor. © Copyright 2007-2009 Rev.

TORONTO - A pair of Ontario teenagers will soon be collecting thousands of dollars after their employer fired them for observing a religious holiday.

The province’s Human Rights Tribunal ruled that vegetable grower Country Herbs discriminated against the young siblings on the basis of their creed.

The tribunal heard and accepted evidence that the teens, identified only by their initials, provided several weeks of notice that they planned to take the day off to celebrate a holiday that was important to their Christian Mennonite faith.

Only the 16-yearold sister H.T. was scheduled to work that day, but both she and her 14-yearold brother J.T. were fired immediately after she failed to report to work.

Country Herbs argued that it dismissed H.T. for not complying with its

attendance policy, but the tribunal ruled that the company made no effort to work with her to accommodate her religious beliefs.

The tribunal also found that her brother was let go solely for his association with her and awarded the pair more than $26,000 in compensation and lost wages.

Zahra Binbrek, the lawyer representing the teens before the tribunal, said the ruling marked an important victory for an issue and age group that often get overlooked.

“There isn’t a large amount of cases around religious accommodations, so it’s nice to be able to contribute to that area of law,” she said. “But of course, for them, this is a very important case...It takes quite a bit to assert your human rights in the workplace. They’re quite vulnerable at that age.”

Michael Pass, the lawyer representing Country Herbs, declined to comment on the ruling.

The tribunal heard that both H.T. and J.T. began working for the southwestern Ontario company in April 2014.
