Robbery suspects crash car near Rossland

MORNING CAST

Duo, facing bevy of charges, appeared in court Tuesday

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Two young men remain in custody after a pizza delivery person was robbed at gunpoint Sunday evening.

Rylee Andrew Shipley, 18, of Nova Scotia and Collton Emery Knowles, a 19-year old from Alberta, are charged with robbery with a firearm, possession of stolen property, possession of a prohibited firearm, flight from police, and other firearm-related charges.

Both men appeared in Rossland Provincial Court Tuesday and were remanded until Sept. 10 for a bail hearing in Nelson, Sgt. Darren Oelke from the Greater Trail RCMP told the Trail Times Wednesday.

The Sept. 6 incident began in Grand Forks just after 8 p.m. and ended near Rossland about one hour later.

The Boundary RCMP received a call at 8:15 p.m. that a pizza delivery person was approached by two males with a gun and robbed of his vehicle and cash, Oelke explained, adding the robbery victim was not injured.

Then, at 8:45 p.m. a Trail police officer encountered the stolen vehicle, a 2004 Pontiac Sunfire, heading toward Rossland on Highway 3B. Oelke says when police attempted to stop the vehicle, the perpetrators fled at high rate of speed, lost control on a corner and struck a rock wall.

One male was arrested at the scene of the accident, but the other fled on foot.

He was arrested a short time later after a police dog tracked him down.

“It is a complex file so all the evidence is not yet before crown,” said Oelke. “Every day we are uncovering more of their crime spree in the Central Interior and the Fraser Valley.”

Why the men traveled to Grand Forks is unknown, and police say neither has known ties to the area.

The stolen vehicle was demolished by the accident but neither suspect was significantly injured.

David Hesson was on the shores of the Columbia River bright and early Wednesday morning to see if the fish were biting.

Pedestrian bridge project still breathing Regional partners collaborate to move forward with pipeline

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

The deal for a new bridge in Trail hasn't sunk just yet.

The mayors of Rossland, Warfield and Trail pulled together to keep the project from going south after bids came in higher than the city's $10 million estimate for a combined pipe/pedestrian bridge.

“Trail re-negotiated with a contractor to get a good price,” Rossland Mayor Kathy Moore told the Trail Times Wednesday.

“So it was important for all coun-

cils to get on board with a new funding contribution agreement because time was really limited.

The contractor wasn't going to wait forever, so if we wanted his price, we were going to have to work together quickly.”

Trail Mayor Mike Martin was optimistic agreements would be inked by Friday “The city initiated discussions with Graham Infrastructure LP, Buckland & Taylor and TRUE Consulting to determine if there could be cost reductions in the project through potential modifications and changes in approach,” he confirmed. “So what is really driving this, is we are up against the tight timeline because of the negotiations

“The level of cooperation and trust exhibited by our partners in Rossland and Warfield to work cooperatively and find a solution that is good for the entire area is unprecedented.”

TRAIL MAYOR MIKE MARTIN

going on with the low bid contractor.”

Trail council called a spe-

cial meeting for noon today (Thursday) to consent to the $3 million increase in the RDKB loan bylaw (Number 1583) which states, “it is deemed desirable and expedient, to make improvements to the RDKB East End Sewer System through the construction of an aerial crossing to convey sewage across the Columbia River.”

“This has been a very complex process and there is a lot of background,” Martin explained.

“The level of cooperation and trust exhibited by our partners in Rossland and Warfield to work cooperatively and find a solution that is good for the entire area is unprecedented.”

Trail Creek Bistro offers international food choices

hef Jenny Basom didn't open her Trail Creek Bistro on a whim.

First she percolated menu concepts in the business incubator of Community Futures in Trail. Then she walked city streets and asked people what they would like to experience in a new Trail restaurant.

What she heard was “ethnic” and “international” cuisine – so that's how she came up with her diverse menu in her Rossland Avenue eatery.

Jenny Basom is chef and owner of Trail Creek Bistro, a new restaurant located at 876 Rossland Ave. vegetable pie, to her own spaghettini and meat sauce recipe, tarragon salmon and Jamaican jerk chicken with a kick from Basom's homemade spicy marinade.

“The food is fresh, with lots of options and very international,” said the 12-year Red Seal Chef. “It's how I like to eat because I don't have one particular cuisine I relate to.

I've been learning over the years and after my survey around town discovered the key word, ethnic – I took my favourites and put them on the menu.”

Having done her homework about Trail, Basom offers one choice that's unique to the city.

Smoke Eaters pizza comes with bacon, pepperoni, chicken, mushrooms and onions loaded on top of homemade thin crust that's baked straight on a pizza oven stone.

“It's not a perfectly round pizza,” she said. “I make my own dough and sauce so it more Famosa-style (Neapolitan).”

Since taking over the site, Basom has set aside a play area for

children and added a kids menu to her family-themed bistro.

“The restaurant is casual and my philosophy is fresh and healthy,” said Basom.

“It's a place for a family to go, besides fast food, that's kid-friendly.”

Basom's kitchen is fully equipped, but she only turns on the deep fryer one day a week.

“Sunday is strictly breakfast day, and I only use my fryer for hash browns,” she said. “And I use dough starter for my Belgium waffles the day before.

All of this is based on what I love to eat and what I think other people are looking for. And the world could always use more waffles,” she laughed.

“Specially with strawberries and whipped cream.”

Since opening, Basom has hired and trained three young servers for the dining room.

In the kitchen it's

• Security Installation and Service • ULC Security Monitoring • Medical Alert Installation & Monitoring

a different story. The mother of three is the bistro's lone chef, but says her boys are already well acquainted with the dishwasher.

“The two older ones love to come in and help out,” she said.

“Until now, I've worked the management side and the kitchen side of restaurants but this is a whole new experience trying to fit it all in with the kids,” she added. “That's why the hours are a little quirky – we still want to have a family life.”

She has no immediate plans to add alcohol to her beverage menu.

Instead, the focus is the family theme and locally sourced products like Warfield's Seven Summits Coffee Company.

Regular business hours are Wednesday through Sunday, but orders can be to-go.

Mayor says extra cost will not impact taxpayers

Back to School hunt

Valerie Rossi photo

Rachel Aiken and her Seven Summits Centre for Learning grades 8-12 classmates spent the second day of school getting to know each other with an interactive “people hunt” exercise that had the students racing around the room filling out a questionnaire. New international students here for Red Mountain Academy and other youth from neighbouring communities up for a new style of learning has the place growing. The publicly funded, distance learning centre offers a blended learning style, with the majority of work done online and independently with support from a teacher.

FROM PAGE 1 Rossland council called a special meeting Tuesday.

As a regional entity, council agreed to the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) borrowing another $3 million for the new sewer interceptor line.

That increases the contribution for the regional sewer partnership between Rossland, Warfield and Trail to $7.2 million for an aerial sewer crossing.

Based on percentage of flow, Rossland would pay about 25 per cent, or $1.8 million under those terms.

That’s about an $800,000 increase over last year’s negotiated deal. Warfield’s 12 per cent contribution would rise to about $800,000 from $527,000. Trail’s 63 per cent portion, or $4.6 million, is upped almost $2 million from the 2014 agreement.

Moore acknowledged the previous apportionments were reached through negotiation, and not based on actual tender pricing.

“No one really thought they could get a pipeline across for $4.2 million, that amount was negotiated to get a deal,” she added. “So this is more fair to Trail, I believe.”

The total bridge cost is $14.4 million, which includes engineering fees, contract administration and contingency, Martin said.

He clarified $12.1 million is the re-negotiated tender price. That means Trail will pay $7.2 million toward the walking platform which is $1.1 million more than the previous funding allocation.

Martin maintains the bridge costs will not impact taxpayers because the money will be covered internally through a combination of reserves and reallocations in the 2016 capital budget.

The pipe/pedestrian bridge was slated to break ground this month following years of engineering work and negotiations with Trail’s regional sewer partners.

All parties agree they were caught off guard last month when tendering bids came in $4 million to $14 million over the city’s budget.

“When that went sideways, it felt like a disaster because it’s a project we thought was all wrapped up and behind us,” said Moore. “There has been sleepless nights, but this is an excellent example of regional collaboration because all three councils approved the motion to move forward.”

Trail handled the tendering process because they have the lion’s share of the pipeline as well as the pedestrian bridge, she explained.

“In terms of the agreement, if the tender hadn’t been awarded by Aug. 31 or

if Trail rejected the tenders then...what we agreed upon was void. So we worked really hard together to try to speed up the process (for a new agreement.)”

Time was of the essence because holding off on the project would be gambling with the health of the Columbia River.

“We all know we have to get a new sewer line across the river,” Moore said.

“The bridge (Old Trail Bridge) has been condemned for a number of years, and though chances are it’s not going to fall into the river tomorrow, we cannot risk a leak or an environmental disaster. So it was important that we get a solution after working on this for years and the old deal fell apart.”

Council considered other methods to carry the utility line across the river before putting the decision to vote on Tuesday.

“There were a lot of factors arguing for us to go forward with this now rather than waiting,” Moore reiterated.

“And that was weighed against if we could get it cheaper doing it some other way. But a lot of other options had been looked at in the past and were pretty speculative.

So we felt comfortable going forward and making the decision we did.”

PEOPLE RDKB DONATES TO UROLOGY CAMPAIGN

BRAD ANDERSON

‘Marmaduke’ comic strip creator dies THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MONTGOMERY, Texas - Brad Anderson, creator of the “Marmaduke” cartoon strip that for more than 60 years featured the antics of a lovable Great Dane, has died. He was 91.

Anderson died Aug. 30, according to a Tuesday statement from Universal Uclick, which syndicated the comic strip. Universal Uclick spokeswoman Julie Halper did not immediately provide additional details on the death of Anderson, who lived in Montgomery, Texas, near Houston.

Anderson was born in Jamestown, New York, in 1924, and as a boy expressed an affinity for drawing.

“Brad’s interest in cartooning dates back to his early childhood, when he drew popular cartoon characters to amuse himself,” according to his biography on the Universal Uclick website.

He served in the Navy during World War II before graduating from Syracuse University and doing freelance work for magazines, including the Saturday Evening Post, before creating “Marmaduke” in 1954.

Anderson’s son, Paul, assisted him in later years on the popular comic strip, and a 2010 “Marmaduke” film featured the voice of actor Owen Wilson as the gregarious pooch.

At its peak, the comic strip appeared in more than 600 newspapers in 20 countries, according to biographical information from Anderson’s alma mater. Anderson was honoured in 2013 with a lifetime achievement award from the National Cartoonists Society.

Universal Uclick did not immediately provide information about how many affiliates currently run “Marmaduke” or the future of the comic strip.

THE CANADIAN PRESS CUMBERLAND HOUSE, Sask. - Luck came in pairs for a Saskatchewan man who netted two whopping walleye over two days to win two major prizes in a fishing tournament.

Ronald Highway of Pelican Narrows was participating in the Senator Pierre Settee Memorial Heaviest Walleye Derby in Cumberland House on Saturday when he hooked a contender weighing nine pounds, 12 ounces.

The catch was good enough to win a truck.

News • Sports Weather E-Subscriptions now available www.trailtimes.ca

Highway returned to his lucky fishing hole on the Saskatchewan River for the second day of the tournament on Sunday and reeled in another big walleye that weighed the same as his first one.

That catch garnered a sport utility vehicle.

Highway says he gave the SUV to his wife.

The lucky sport fisherman said he’s never caught a walleye that big before, let alone two.

“We started laughing, I couldn’t believe it, me and my brother inlaw. I was holding first and second, I was pretty nervous the last couple hours.”

Bill Thomas, the tournament’s weight master, said the second fish was released several kilometres from where the first one was released after capture.

“I don’t think it swam back to its home. He must have pulled out the twin.”

REgional Revelstoke

Two stories emerge in collapse of $7 million golf club deal capital invest itself in the community. You can’t just stamp it with bureaucratic overlay and say this is the way it’s going to be. It’s not the way it’s going to be.”

Mayor McKee, who wasn’t at the meeting, told the Review the list came from the city’s lawyer, who advised the issues be addressed and more information received before moving forward.

“When a lawyer is saying these points have to be clarified and they’re important to the deal, it would be foolish from a council perspective to disregard that,” said McKee. “Our job is to protect the tax payer.”

For Shelley, it came down to the way he was treated by the CAO. Immediately after seeing the list, he decided he didn’t want to deal with Chabot going forward and there was no way to make a deal.

“He was asking us to invest money and remain at the beck and call of his office for the duration of the lease,” he said.

City officials were shocked Shelley walked away from the deal after it seemed so close.

“I felt if we could have sat down with

By Alex Cooper

Revelstoke Times Review

Everything seemed to be going well. A multi-million dollar deal that would have seen Citrus Capital take over operations of the Revelstoke Golf Club seemed imminent to all sides.

Which is why its sudden collapse following a meeting late last month has come as such a shock.

The deal between the city and Citrus Capital fell apart in minutes during a meeting between Larry Shelley of Citrus Capital, and Allan Chabot, the new Chief Administrative Officer for the City of Revelstoke. What has emerged is a he-said, she-said story, with city officials left confused, and Shelley left angry at his perceived treatment.

“I’m a little bit surprised, a little bit shocked, a lot disappointed,” said Mayor Mark McKee after the deal collapsed.

Citrus Capital approached the city in the spring about taking over the golf course. At a public meeting at the community centre, Shelley said his company was seeking to “enter into a lease agreement with

Alex Cooper, Revelstoke Review

The future of the Revelstoke Golf Club is once again uncertain after a deal with Citrus Capital fell through. the city that would define the way in which the golf course would operate going forward in a way that’s constructive to the citizens of this city.”

Months of negotiations followed.

Without a CAO in place, they were mostly led by McKee and Alan Mason, the city’s director of economic development.

On Aug. 28, Shelley was invited to a meeting with Mason, Chabot and Dawn Levesque, the city’s corporate officer.

He thought he would be presented with a next-to-final lease agreement.

Instead, he was given a list of 21 items that needed to be addressed.

According to Chabot and McKee, the list contained items that Shelley was aware of, such as who was responsible for the clubhouse, site remediation and what obligations the city would have.

“I gave him a list that was intended to bring clarity to items that I understand had previously been discussed and canvassed with him, but needed a little more clarity on some of the key business terms,” said Chabot.

According to Shelley, the list amounted to a “21point edict” that materially changed the terms of the lease.

“Things like

changing the rent, the lease amount we agreed to, terms of the lease, underlying liens and encumbrances — the list goes on and on,” said Shelley.

The end result was Shelley walking away from the table, with no intention of going back. He said the new terms involved setting deadlines on investment, and if Citrus didn’t meet those deadlines, the lease would cancelled. This lack of flexibility was the deal-breaker.

“This all comes down to the attitude of the CAO, pure and simple,” said Shelley.

“You have to invite new capital and you have to be creative in how you let that new

Larry for an hour we could have hammered all these issues out,” he said. “As far as I was concerned, there were no show stoppers there,” said McKee. At the same time, he said council needed to be sure the deal was in the best interest of the tax payers.

What exactly was in the deal is not known. The two parties were negotiating towards a 30-year lease that would have seen

Citrus Capital invest about $7 million in the golf course.

Now, that is all off the table and Shelley blames Chabot.

“The problem that we’ve seen is if we’re being treated this way on what is largely a philanthropic project, if we have to bring other business opportunities to the table and work them through the CAO’s office with that attitude, it’s not worth it.”

Canfor to close Canal Flats mill in November

By Carolyn Grant Kimberley Bulletin

Canfor will be closing the Canal Flats sawmill as of Nov. 9, it was announced to employees Wednesday.

It has come as quite a shock to everyone in the Village of Canal Flats, says Village CAO Brian Woodward.

“I was phoned this morning by Steve Mackie, the Regional Manager,” Woodward told the Bulletin/Townsman

gas furnace

on Wednesday afternoon. “He said they’d had a meeting with all employees and were permanently closing the mill as of November 9.”

Woodward estimates the number of employees affected to be in the area of 80 people. Canal Flats had employed over 150 people at the mill but last May the workforce was reduced to one shift and 81 people laid off.

As for what happens next, Woodward had no answers.

“The mill is by far our largest employer,” he said. “We have so many questions. Are they going to sell it? At this point in time we are organizing a transition team with the Ministry of

Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and the Village will participate in that process. But we have no answers. There are issues of taxation, and there are at least 30 families living in Canal Flats affected by this. Will they retire?

Be bought out? We just don’t know. It’s a bit of

a shock for everyone.

Attempts were made to contact Canfor for a statement but at press time, there was no response.

The layoffs last spring were due to a lack of economically viable fibre, a Canfor spokesperson said at the time

Political parties a danger to Canadian democracy

P

olitics in Canada is hitting new lows.

Our last few federal elections have been filled with negative attack ads, robo calling scandals and bitter animosity. Meanwhile the House of Commons has become a partisan war zone, where artless backbenchers earn political points firing barbed insults across the floor.

It is no surprise that municipal politics is the most representative and effective level of government in Canada. Rob Ford aside, it’s more civil, more accountable and more democratic than provincial or federal politics.

Why? Because it’s the only level of government in Canada without political parties. It is the absence of strict party discipline and intimidating whips that allows municipal politics to be truly representative and democratic.

The tribalism that infects our party politics today is shameful.

Take poor Chris Alexander for instance. This Oxford educated squire is the cream of the Canadian crop. Appointed Canadian ambassador to Afghanistan at the tender age of 34, he’s incredibly bright, poised

and compassionate; a rising star in anyone’s game.

Unbelievably, Canada’s childishly partisanship has reduced him to a ill-mannered lout, throwing nasty barbs and shouting angrily at television presenters who happen to ask unconformable questions of the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.

If rabid partisanship can sully a sterling character like Chris Alexander, what’s it doing to our Country?

Regrettably, it’s threatening our democracy and ruining our quality of life.

It wasn’t always this way.

Agreed, we’ve had aggressive political operatives before and the House of Commons has seen its fair share of rude behaviour.

But in the past our politicians maintained a higher standard of civility, drew the line at personal attacks and reserved a special place for eloquently crafted arguments.

Today, the gloves have come off. And clearly the intense partisanship we now see is part of pattern that involves party whips nobbling MPs, party officials bullying constituency associations and party executives simply ignoring Canada’s electoral laws.

The system is designed to

ROBERT

MCGARVEY Troy Media

concentrate as much power as possible in the office of the Prime Minster.

It is claimed, by some, that Canadians prefer it this way; according to the script it helps preserve ‘Peace, Order and Good (i.e. strong) government.

But is out-of-control partisanship a danger to democracy?

I guess it depends on how you define the term ‘democracy’.

Modern democracy emerged as a governing concept in the 18th century, at the time of the Enlightenment. The radical new ideas that the Enlightenment brought to Western civilization in those heady days were ‘reason and progress’.

Democracy was supposed to be about harnessing the power of reason to achieve measureable progress for the whole of society.

But Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke realized that reason and progress could only work their magic if power properly represents the will of the governed.

The tendency of political power to concentrate and become tyrannical was obvious then, and so Enlightenment thinkers encouraged the idea of division of powers as a hedge against abuse. Montesquieu said, a ‘free’ country is one in which there was not only a separation of powers but where the spirit of compromise is respected and promoted by those in authority.

So what happened in 21st century Canada? It appears we’ve maintained the form of democracy but have lost the substance of our freedom.

The all-embracing power of political parties and modern communications has corrupted the practical reality of representative government.

Television, in particular, concentrates all attention on party leaders. Elections are their personal victory or loss alone; regrettably this hugely elevates the leaders’ importance and distances the public from their local representative,

who now owes his or her career, and loyalty, to the leader.

So, yes, in its present vociferous form, party politics is the enemy of democracy.

Who’s to blame? We are.

If we don’t have the courage to stand up to party bosses we deserve our fate. If we don’t care enough about democracy to choose our own representatives and hold them accountable, we threaten both reason and progress.

This election is an important one. It will not only determine the governing party but could reverse the dangerous drift of Canadian political culture. If we’re to live up to the high ambitions of the Enlightenment we’ll have work hard to make our democracy work effectively. We must demand that political parties respect our traditions and truly represent the values and the broader will of all Canadians.

Time for the ‘real’ campaign to begin An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press With Labour Day behind us, it’s official. Summer is over.

Our attentions turn from patios, warm temperatures and cool drinks to longer nights, shorter days and falling leaves.

And a federal election.

For politicians, campaign workers and political pundits, today marks the beginning of the “real” election campaign.

All the campaigning prior to today was interesting but as Dr. Phil would say, now it’s time to get real.

Despite the fact this is the longest federal election campaign in modern Canadian history, there hasn’t been a great deal in terms of substantive policy announcements.

There have been a lot of boutique announcements. For example, the federal Tories have announced the extension of tax credits for mineral exploration and expanding the country’s broadband Internet network for remote regions. The NDP meanwhile has been busy saying little, as well. More money for Sport Canada to help disadvantaged youth and an increase to the guaranteed income supplement for the poorest of the elderly.

And for the Liberals, the policy announcements have included a tax benefit for teachers for $150 to buy school supplies and increasing services to vets.

Notwithstanding Thursday’s somewhat delayed response from all three parties on the refugee crisis, there has been little substantive discussion about issues many Canadians and Manitobans view as important. Such as health care. Such

as Bill C-51, the controversial anti-terror bill. Such as aboriginal affairs. Such as climate change.

This is going to change.

Speculation is that one of the reasons Prime Minister Stephen Harper dropped the writ so early, prompting this extraordinarily long campaign, was because by doing so, it would allow him to spend more money on political advertising.

Changes to the election rules mean campaigns have even higher spending limits, putting the maximum at about $51 million, double what it would be with a “normal” campaign. And the Conservatives can pay for it. According to reports, the Conservatives ended 2014 with almost $31 million in their coffers, including national and riding-level funds, compared with about $17 million for the Liberals and $10 million for the NDP. So you can expect to be pummelled over the remainder of the election campaign by telephone calls, brochure drops and Tory ads, many of which are expected to be negative.

However, the early election call did not necessarily do Mr. Harper any favours. While the Mike Duffy fraud trial is now in recess until after Oct. 19, there were still some revelations that may have hurt. Indeed, the insistence of a PMO insider that he never a read a line in an email from Nigel Wright that said he had personally repaid the senator’s expenses earned Mr. Harper some scathing reviews. As well, for many political observers, the denial from the prime minister about his knowledge of Mr. Wright’s

payment, particularly given his reputation as a micromanager, rang hollow.

Then, early last week, Mr. Harper had to finally admit that Canada is the only G7 country in a recession. When you’ve sold yourself as the best steward for Canada’s economy, that has to hurt.

Finally, perhaps the biggest issue to derail the federal election and to create considerable problems for the Conservatives is the Syrian refugee crisis. The photograph of the dark-haired toddler, wearing a bright-red T-shirt and shorts, washed up on a beach became a flashpoint for Canadians and an immediate headache for both Mr. Harper and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander. Both interrupted their scheduled campaign announcements to do serious damage control.

But anyone thinking the Tories are out, relying on polls or tea leaves, should think again. There are far too many days left in this election and there are still some campaign surprises no doubt up Mr. Harper’s sleeve. It’s still anyone’s game.

And now, it’s time for us to really pay attention.

I was looking forward to the forum because the people running for OUR area don’t even live here – or anywhere near here. I wanted to know what they know about this area and what or how they’d serve it.

If they don’t want to put themselves on the line then I don’t see myself wasting time attending the forum.

And since I don’t blindly follow one party, no matter who its leaders are, I like to meet and vote for the “person” running, not the party. After all, it’s not like Canadians really have the chance to vote for the leader of our country, like Americans do.

So, for the first time in my adult life, I may not even vote.

B.V. Nitehawks shut out Creston to end preseason

By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

Fans, parents, coaches, and players breathed a sigh of relief on Tuesday when the Beaver Valley Nitehawks closed out its lengthy preseason with a 5-0 shut-out victory over the Creston Valley Thundercats.

Playing in its eighth game in nine days, it was no surprise that the Nitehawks lacked some jump, but the resilient team still dominated a Creston squad that had yet to lose any of its five exhibition games.

“Obviously, we’re happy with the win and happy with the result,” said Nitehawks assistant coach Kevin Limbert. “But I didn’t think it was an overly competitive game and for the last exhibition game, I believe for both teams, it didn’t seem to have the intensity of guys striving to make a team and really selling out and doing everything they can to make the team.”

Jace Weegar opened the scoring at 12:22 of the first period taking a perfect pass in the slot from Braden Fuller and snapping it past goalie Brock Lefebvre. The Hawks continued to carry the play, with the Creston goalie making several big saves until the waning minutes of the period when Blake Sidoni converted a Tyler Ghiradosi setup down low to give the Hawks a 2-0 lead heading into the second.

Creston pushed back in the second period generating a few opportunities but Nitehawks goalies Cole Gallo and Brandon Wells, who split duties on the night, came up big when they had to.

Devin Nemes would put the Hawks up 3-0 taking a breakaway pass from Ghiradosi and making a slick move to the backhand before sliding it through the five-hole of the Cats goalie.

The Hawks added two more in the third when Ryan Neil’s shot snuck through the goalie’s arm and lay gift wrapped for Shawn Rowe who banged it in the open net.

Nemes then netted his second of the night midway through the third, deflecting a Lyle Frank point shot by backup Patrick Ostermann to round out the scoring.

Creston’s frustration would show in the final minutes, drawing Fuller into a fight and antagonizing Hawks veteran Sam Swanson, but in the end, it was too little, too late for the Thundercats who would fail

2 0 1 5

to score despite icing nine veterans, including its top three scorers from last year in Carson Cartwright, Lien Miller-Jeannotte, and Alex Wilkerson.

The game was also the final opportunity for players to make their case for a spot on a Hawks roster that will have to be pared down to 23 once the season starts on Friday in Spokane.

“We still have to come down a few (players) and we have some hard decisions to make tonight, it’s never a fun time of year.”

Regardless of the victory and a few bright spots, the Nitehawks coach remained unimpressed with the effort.

“I don’t think there was enough body contact, a lot of fly-bys, a lot of soft turnovers,” said Limbert. “It could be a factor of human nature where you play down to your opposition a little bit, and I don’t think they were happy with how they played either. It didn’t have the same intensity and pace that we saw a couple nights ago against Nelson.”

However, over the course of the preseason, the coaches were indeed pleased with the team’s progress, particularly in young players like Ghiradosi, Aiden Browell, Kody Stewart, Connor Seib, Brad Ross, Brad Baldwin, and Tommy McConnachie. Many of the 15-and 16-year-old players already knew they were destined for the Major Midget Kootenay Ice or Midget AA team but can be used as affiliate players for the Nitehawks throughout the year.

Veteran players like Nemes, Weegar, Fuller, Swanson, Lyle Frank and Kyle Hope have all shown they’re ready to play, and the recent additions of veteran forward like Nelson’s Coleton Dawson and defenceman Shawn Rowe from Penhold, Alta. should give B.V. an added edge when the going gets tough.

“Coleton Dawson coming back and playing the way he has, he’s really imposed his presence on the game, but he’s played disciplined and physical and strong. You notice every time he’s been on the ice, and that was a really nice surprise,” said Limbert. “And a big body on the back end, Shawn Rowe has done the same thing. He kind of just showed up and he’s been very, very steady, and very intelligent so definitely some good surprises.”

Super League calls out curlers

By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

The Kootenay Savings Super League is on the lookout for more curlers as it prepares to slide out of the hack later this month.

The League plays at the Trail Curling Club and is in jeopardy of skipping this season if it doesn’t get more than the five teams already signed up.

“I want six for sure, but eight would be way better,” said Super League organizer and curler Richard Faunt. “At the end of last year when you’ve played everybody for the fourth time, it kind of loses its lustre.”

Any combination of men, women, or junior curlers from across the West Kootenay can make a team and join the league and while the curling is competitive, it is also enjoyable.

“We have the junior team back, a senior ladies team in, and they can be from all over Grand Forks, Nelson, Castlegar, or Fruitvale, it doesn’t matter.”

In addition to the Justin Umpherville junior foursome and the Heather Nichols’ ladies rink, the league will see the return of the Deane Horning team, Ken Fines rink and the Myron Nichol foursome.

Many of the curlers have represented the region in Men’s, Ladies, Seniors, Juniors and Mixed provincial championships with three-time Brier competitor Horning and Don Freschi winning the BC championship in 2005, and Horning

curling with skip Pat Ryan in the 2002 and 2003 Canadian Brier.

In last year’s Super League final, however, the Rob Ferguson rink defeated Horning’s foursome 7-5 to end the Castlegar native’s reign of six consecutive Super League titles.

The games go on Thursdays at 7 p.m. and the Super League is free of any Trail Residency Program (TRP) fees, as the Curling Club leases the venue.

In addition, the fee for registering a team is very reasonable, ensures Faunt.

“It is cheaper than regular curling, and some teams get sponsors and so they don’t have to pay anything.”

The league traditionally gets started the third week in September but may delay it a week, depending on the number of teams – with eight being the magic number.

For more information contact Faunt at 368-3734.

Hawks begin quest for more banners

FROM PAGE 8 Dawson split his time between the KIJHL’s Grand Forks Border Bruins and the Ontario Avalanche of the Western States Hockey League in California netting six goals and 16 points with

79 penalty minutes for the Avs, while Rowe played for the Red Deer Vipers of the Heritage Junior Hockey League scoring two goals and five assists in 32 games while accumulating 70 penalty minutes.

With only a few

cuts to make before the regular season, the Nitehawks look poised to lead the Neil Murdoch division once again – and add a few titles to the Hawks Nest rafters.

“I think we have the pieces in here to bring

home another banner, and it’s just a matter of completing the process.”

The Hawks first home games goes Saturday at the Beaver Valley Arena at 7:30 p.m. against the Kelowna Chiefs.

CRANBROOK — Regulatory changes to Kootenay angling management announced last week will help ensure a quality fishing experience, reduce crowding on popular rivers and support trout conservation, a press release from the Government of British Columbia said.

The KootenayBoundary region receives the highest number of non-B.C. resident anglers in the province, and the second highest number of non-resident alien (international) anglers.

The main regulation change is implementation of a booking system for nonresident anglers on three “classified waters” in the Kootenays: the Wigwam River, Skookumchuck Creek and Michel Creek.

All three of these fisheries have seen nonresident, non-guided angler use exceed targets, creating overcrowding on the river as well as pressure on fish populations.

Under the new system, a set amount of non-resident, nonguided angler days will be made available through the existing online angling licensing system. Selections will be made on a first-

come, first-serve system, ensuring all nonresident anglers have an equal opportunity.

Once these days are sold, non-resident anglers will have to book through a licensed angling guide to fish on these waters. Angler-guided days have been increased on the Wigwam and Skookumchuck in anticipation of additional interest from non-residents seeking access to these waters.

These additional days will become available later in the season.

“The Kootenay Angling Management Plan is a major step forward to maintain resident priority angling in the East Kootenay,” said George Wilson, President of the BC Wildlife Federation.

“We appreciate the efforts of all those who have contributed to this important initiative.”

The previous classified waters system in the Kootenays was first established in 2006.

The predominant wild fish species pursued by stream anglers within the East Kootenay are Bull Trout and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.

The new system aims to ensure resident anglers maintain prior-

ity access on streams that have been oversubscribed in recent years, while still allowing non-residents ample opportunity to access these highdemand systems.

“I want to thank the East Kootenay angling guides for their commitment to the plan and for their hard work in finding ways to improve a good plan that benefits all of us anglers,” said Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and MLA for Kootenay East.

Other measures being enacted under the Kootenay Angling Management Plan include enhanced patrols by both conservation officers and river guardians, and reviewing opportunities for additional boat launch facilities to improve angler access on the Elk River.

Classified waters for the White River, Upper Kootenay River, St. Mary River and Elk River are otherwise unchanged. On these rivers there are maximum angling days in place for angling guides, but nonresidents may continue to fish without caps, after paying for their Classified Water licence.

Wildsight applauds Alberta plan for conservation

By Arne Petryshen Cranbrook Towsnman

A local conservation group is applauding a decision by the Alberta government to

protect the Castle wilderness area by creating two new provincial parks. The area is in the south-west corner of the province and

borders the Flathead Valley in B.C. Conservation group Wildsight celebrated the announcement.

“We applaud the

Alberta government for giving the Castle the protection it deserves,” said John Bergenske, conservation director for

Wildsight. “We’d like to see the BC government follow their lead by stepping up their commitment to the environment and cre-

ating a national park in the southeast one third of the Flathead River Valley and a Wildlife Management Area in the adjoining

habitat.”

The area is just north of Waterton National Park,and will conserve over 1,000 square kilometres in one of the most biologically rich and diverse landscapes in the country. Along with providing critical habitat for grizzly bears, wolverine and west-slope cutthroat trout, the area also acts as a water tower for southern Alberta.

In a release, Wildsight noted the Flathead River Valley has been called the “missing piece” of WatertonGlacier International Park, and said it is unmatched in North America for its variety and density of carnivore species, including grizzly bears.

A number of conservation groups including Wildsight, the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative, Sierra Club BC and CPAWS BC are working to protect the Flathead permanently with a National Park in the southeastern onethird and a Wildlife Management Area in the rest of the valley and adjoining habitat.

Suspects with a plan made an attempt to break into Trickle Creek Golf Course last week, and a day later, were successful breaking into Bootleg Gap, making off with an ATM machine.

“They drove a bobcat through the front door at Bootleg Gap, loosened the ATM machine, which was bolted to the floor and took off,” said Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel.

The bobcat was owned by the golf course, but Newel says that those familiar with this type of machinery would be able to start it.

“They damaged the cab of the bobcat to get into it, but we couldn’t determine if there was damage to the ignition,” Newel said.

Submitted photo

Co-op member participating in the pilot, John Abernante from Earthly Organics in Fruitvale

New pilot project helps local farmers Submitted A new regional Co-op has begun operations with a pilot project helping local farmers get their goods to a broader range of markets.

The Kootenay and Boundary Food Producers Coop began it’s market brokerage and distribution pilot in July with their new Coordinator, Susan Warren.

They are working with farmers in the Salmo and Fruitvale areas to help find markets and distribute their products to those markets over the course of the summer.

Warren determines what products are available from which farmers on a weekly basis, and coordinates with local retailers and a local shipper to get sustainably grown veggies into more hands. Kootenay Market, Ferraro Foods and Kootenay Bakery Coop are just some of the retailers now ordering from the Producer’s Coop.

“The goal of this pilot” Warren says “is to allow farmers to remain on their farms growing food and raising animals, while reducing their costs by working cooperatively.”

The KBFPC plans to offer other much needed services to its members, just at a time when food prices and uncertainty of supply are becoming national issues. Kim Charlesworth, a founding member, says “our research shows long term winter storage, a labour pool, and a value added processing facility are all critically needed in the area.”

The pilot program will give them the opportunity to learn what works well and what doesn’t, after which they will expand operations to other areas where members farm or reside, says Charlesworth.

“We’d like to thank the Nelson District Credit Union, Columbia Basin Trust and BC Coop Association for helping us get started.”

Mark your calendars to celebrate! The KBFPC is hosting a Local Producers Fall Event with an open house, followed by a good old fashioned barn dance Oct. 17 at the Taghum Hall near Nelson.

The event is to celebrate their official launch and provide information to anyone interested in membership. Co-ops are member driven,

meaning members are the people who decide where and when services will be offered.

The KBFPC is actively recruiting new members from Grand Forks to Creston and north to Naksup and Argenta. Interested food producers can contact regionalproducerscoop@ gmail.com for information, or visit our website at www.kbfpc. ca.
