Village digs into sewer upgrade

BY VALERIE ROSSI The Village of Fruitvale is set to break ground on its nearly $1.5 million sewer upgrade this week, after years of planning.

The extensive project includes new aeration in the lagoons, a new bypass system, new grinders, a full electrical upgrade and a new Pollution Control Centre.

“The old one is about 10×10 and just full of electrical so this will be a new building to house the electrical and the UV stations because the sewer effluent will be treated with UV radiation,” explained Lila Cresswell, village chief administrative officer.

Urban Systems Limited is the consulting engineer firm while Acres Enterprises Limited is the contractor behind the work expected to start Wednesday. The first part of the project will address the UV building and components.

“The new UV treatment will provide a more reliable way to disinfect the effluent which will contain microorganisms that could cause illness,” explained Cresswell.

Sad story of how Indian Eddy got its name

The Trail Historical Society has kindly offered photos and stories related to the history of Trail.

The last family of First Nations that lived near Trail was that of a man named Joe Peele. They were situated on the east side of the river on an outcropping, midway between Gyro Park and Sunningdale.

On June 8, 1907, the Trail News reported the following: “Indian Joe’s little boy and girl have disappeared and no trace of them can be found since early yesterday. The family is camped across the river, and it is supposed that the children in playing on the rocky point opposite the smelter, fell in the water and were carried away by the swift current.”

A few days later, sadly, the bodies of the children were found “in an eddy across from the smelter,” the News reported. This would be the inlet where the Gyro boat launch is situated today.

While the name of the site was never officially designated, it has ever since been called Indian Eddy.

Afterwards, poor Joe Peele’s name was often found in the paper, having been charged with drunkenness.

Eventually, he was sent to prison to do hard labour. No doubt the poor man suffered for the loss of his children. Nothing is written about the children’s mother.

Galbraith, who was situated at Fort Steele near Cranbrook, frequently visited the Lakes Indians before and after the beginning of the last century.

In 1902, Galbraith was interviewed as he came through Trail to vaccinate the natives living up and down the river. The article doesn’t say what they were being vaccinated for, but we can surmise it was for smallpox.

Galbraith had begun his journeys along the river around 1870, visiting various camps and ascertaining the condition of the natives in this vicinity.

Back then, there was a band of natives living around the old Fort Shepherd, but after the fort burned to the ground in 1872, they dispersed south or to the Okanagan.

Galbraith found that the families who had made this neighborhood their home were in a fairly prosperous condition, making a good very living by hunting and fishing, and also, by acting as guides to tourists.

“In visiting camps opposite Trail, he found the Indians well supplied with food, neatly dressed and their families free from sickness. He vaccinated all who required it and urged them to mix, in no way, with the Indians south of the line, as he is anxious that they shall not acquire the evil habits of liquor, prevalent among the larger communities of the Colville reservation.”

New treatment will eliminate chlorine Over two tonnes of garbage collected last year FROM PAGE 1 stretch from Sunningdale through Gyro Park, out to Casino and as far south as the Waneta Dam area.

Trail’s three ambassadors will man the check in table and assign areas for clean up.

If someone has a specific designation in mind, however, that is also welcome, says Trail events coordinator Andrea Jolly.

“Everyone who collects is asked to leave bags in a visible location for pick up,” she clarified.

All waste will be collected roadside by Teck Trail Operations vehicles and transported to the McKelvey Creek Regional Landfill. Each haul is weighed to keep track of how much junk is collected, but the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary does waive landfill fees for the cause.

Garbage clean up winds up at noon and will be followed by a free lunch and raffles for door prizes donated by local businesses.

Last year, 120 people took part, hauling in 2.2 tonnes of garbage, debris and scrap metal, Jolly noted.

“Lets keep our river clean,” she added. “The event is gaining momentum as we educate and remind the public how important it is to keep the Columbia River clean and healthy as it is an integral waterway to our entire area.”

For more information, contact Jolly at 250.364.0834.

FROM PAGE 1 “This will protect downstream water users, (for instance) those who may use the creek for recreation such as swimming or tubing and those who have water licenses on the creek.”

UV is commonly used in both water treatment and wastewater treatment. The process neutralizes microorganisms as they pass by ultraviolet lamps submerged in the effluent.

“It will eliminate the use of chlorine at the wastewater treatment plant, which will protect the fish in Beaver Creek as chlorine is toxic to fish,” Cresswell said, adding that the village is on top of biological testing.

The project has

been on schedule since 2012 when the village received the first of two Gas Tax Strategic Priorities’ grants. The work is not contingent to borrowing at present, assured Cresswell.

“We have received approval for $1.1 million for the project,”

she explained “We were held up in pre-design by extra work for an environmental impact study but are now ready to move forward.”

Most of the construction will be done by mid December with the project set for completion in February.

Fruitvale council commissioned a separate study of the long term options of the Fruitvale Sewer Treatment Plant before pulling out of the regional Liquid Waste Management Plan and making plans of its own.

Multi-artist, multi-dimensional show opens tonight FROM PAGE 1 “The danger of nuclear war, and the nuclear power plants themselves, like Chernobyl and Fukushima – I studied it for quite a while now and the whole industry is completely bizarre.”

Trained as a welder/fabricator, Roo

became ill and could no longer work in his trade. So he packed up and moved to Salmo from White Rock a decade ago.

“After I recuperated I decided to stay because I like it here,” he explained. “I started my own business, saw others doing artwork, and thought

this could be very therapeutic for me.”

Through trial and error, and many prototype failures, Roo has become a well known Kootenay artist, showing in several local galleries.

But the VISAC show is his first feature in Trail.

“The way I put it

is, my fountains give a sense of peacefulness,” he said.

“Whereas the ‘Atomic Sculptures’ are bit of the opposite. They many help face your demons and fears head on – and help quell some of your nightmares.”

Born January 3, 1928.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Elio Parisotto on September 19, 2015.

Elio came to Trail from Loria, Treviso, Italy with his parents Bruno and Maria and younger brothers to start a new life in Canada.

He worked as a carpenter at Teck Cominco for over 30 years and also applied his trade and tremendous skill as a furniture refinisher. He was a skilled artisan and woodworker creating wonderful and elegant pieces from turkey calls to elaborate grandfather clocks.

Elio was a passionate hunter and looked forward to annual hunting trips with close friends; he could talk for hours on this subject and was a true sportsman, especially looking forward to his trips to Alberta. He cherished his hunting friendships and experiences and could recall each of them vividly. He also loved his German Short-Haired hunting dogs, and told many stories of their retrieving abilities with love and admiration.

Elio loved to garden and, of course, make wine. He was a life-long member of the Colombo Lodge and there he enjoyed singing as part of the chorus, dancing and socializing. Most recently, Elio appreciated the kind and thoughtful staff and community of friends at Chateau Manor for their love, care and concern.

Elio maintained a sharp mind to his last days – he had an excellent memory of facts of the Italian community in Trail and great recall of people, connections and events.

So many admired his encyclopedic knowledge and storytelling.

Elio is predeceased by his parents Bruno and Maria and by his first wife Lorna. He is survived by his children Patricia, Lawrence (Rita), and Robert; his four beautiful grandchildren Kate, Lauren, Megan and Sydney; by his second wife Maria; by his brothers Frank (Dorothy), Walter (Amelia) and Roger (Carol); by his cherished nieces and nephews; by his Zias and Zios; by his many cousins; and by close family members and friends in Trail, Italy and abroad all of whom provided him tremendous love and support. He will be sorely missed and remain in the hearts of those who knew him.

The family would like to thank Dr. Stanley, Elio’s family doctor that he greatly respected and the wonderfully skilled and compassionate staff in Emergency, ICU and 3rd Floor Family Room at Trail Regional Hospital, especially over the last several days of his life.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Holy Trinity Catholic Parish, 2012 Third Avenue, Trail, BC on Monday, September 28, 2015 at 11:00 am with Father Bart van Roijen, Celebrant. Interment at Mountain View Cemetery will follow the Funeral Mass. Bill Clark of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements.

As an expression of sympathy, donations in Elio’s name may be made to the KBRH Health Foundation (Urology Campaign), 1200 Hospital Bench Rd., Trail, BC, V1R 4M1 or online at www.kbrhhealthfoundation.ca or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC, 4 - 1551 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 9M9 or online at www.heartandstroke.bc.ca You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca

Donna was predeceased in 2011 by her loving husband Raymond Briggeman.

Donna grew up and attended school in Trail until graduation in 1950. In 1955 she married Raymond William Briggeman also from Trail and they settled in Glenmerry.

Donna was a member of the Trail Art Club, exhibiting her paintings in the annual fall art shows and she served as Secretary to the Trail and District Art Centre Society.

She was also involved in many associations and groups including the I.O.D.E., the Jaycettes, the St.Andrews Altar Guild, St. Andrew’s Senior Choir and the Square Dance Association. Donna was elected as Trail’s first Female Alderperson in 1978 and held the office until 1982 being voted in for 2 terms.

After Ray retired in 1984, they spent 10 years summering at Christina Lake and wintering in Lake Havasu, Arizona. In the fall of 2001, they moved to Waneta Village in Trail.

Donna was an avid bridge player, artist, a proud Trailite and a most loving, kind and patient mom and gram. She will be deeply missed by her children and grandchildren and by the many friends that she made over the years.

UNERAL NOTICES Florence Bagg Ninety seven years ago Florence Bagg (Merriman) was born in Springside, Sask. The date was May 25, 1918.

As she kicked and screamed into her new world, she was unaware that her mother had died during the first minutes following her birth.

Florence was raised by her grandparents but had a close relationship with her father who farmed several miles from town.

In 1938, following a lengthy battle with Tuberculosis of the spine, Florence came to BC where she married Art Bagg (1919-1995). They settled in Columbia Gardens and raised five children; Garry (Robyn) Bagg, Fay (Bohdan) Babiak, Adrian Bagg (deceased at 18 months), Susan Jacura, and Sandra (Phil) Terrault.

Florence was blessed with enjoying four generations of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Family and friends knew her to be generous with her time and her home. She had a tenacious and forgiving spirit.

On September 22, she passed away peacefully at the Palliative Care Unit in Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital.

explained. “I like to paint in a way that draws the viewer in and I hope, give them food for thought.”

Her subject matter is often ephemeral, such as a moment when the sun strikes a mountain.

This show, however, also highlights Main’s series of paintings that meld with Roo’s vision.

“I’ve created four panels describing the basic elements of warfare,” she explained.

“It is intended to be anti-war. I think if you can analyze the process of going to war, you can readily reach the conclusion that war is an absurd and useless undertaking.”

Also showing is Rhandi Sandford, a multi-media artist, practising in charcoal, ink, watercolour, acrylic and fibre arts.

Her illustrations caught Renn’s eye during a local indoor farmers market.

“She was selling her fascinating and wonderfully unique illustrations and creations,” says Renn.

“My partner and I instantly fell in love with her subject matter and her sweet unabashed attitude about giving people a peek at her imagination.”

Over the summer, the gallery was glammed up with a red, black and white colour scheme, giving it a more cohesive and elegant feel for the season’s first exhibition.

“This included touching up and reorganizing the lovely shop and event space in the gallery,” said Renn.

“We have been hard at work making connections within the community and getting the word out that our goal is to support the established and working artists.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the upcoming exhibits and events and want everyone to know there is a flourishing and supportive art network here in Trail.”

Kootenay bank robber gets 10 years

BY BILL METCALFE Nelson Star

Andrew Stevenson was sentenced to 10 years in jail Wednesday in Nelson court for his spate of armed robberies in the West Kootenay in the spring of 2014.

The time Stevenson has already spent in custody will be taken into account, leaving him eight years and four months to serve.

Earlier this year, Stevenson pled guilty to eight robbery and weapons charges after armed hold-ups at the Nelson and District Credit Union and Kootenay Currency Exchange, in Castlegar at Kootenay Savings, in Robson at Johnny’s Grocery, and break-ins at two Castlegar pharmacies.

The Nelson credit union robbery led to a dramatic car chase and apprehension by the Nelson Police Department.

In their sentencing submissions on Tuesday, crown prosecutor Sunday Patola asked for 11 years and defence lawyer Ken Wyllie advocated for eight.

In Stevenson’s defence, Wyllie explained that his client contracted rheumatoid arthritis as a child and this eventually led to a hip replacement and a lifetime of physical pain, leading to an addiction to alcohol and black market prescription drugs including Oxycodeine and morphine. He said Stevenson stopped drinking several years ago and has been weaned off of prescription drugs during his time in prison.

WILL JOHNSON PHOTO

Bank robber Andrew Stevenson arrived at the Nelson courthouse Wednesday morning to learn his sentence.

He said Stevenson has a Grade 10 education and is qualified only for manual labour, which he was successful at for a time but then went on disability because of his arthritis.

At the time of his arrest in 2014, Wyllie said, Stevenson was the sole supporter of his two children who now live with their mother. He said the separation from his children has been painful for Stevenson, as has the feeling that he has brought shame on his family.

Wyllie said a psychiatric assessment contained in a pre-sentence report states Stevenson is at high risk to re-offend if he does not deal with his addictions. But his client is confident he can stay off drugs once he is released, Wyllie said, and he “demonstrates a credible insight into the impact on his victims.”

In his reasons for

judgement, Hewson pointed out that the legislated minimum penalties for all of the eight counts against Stevenson would logically lead to a jail sentence of 19 years, which would have been excessive, he said, so he specified that the penalties for several of the offences would run concurrently.

When Wyllie finished his sentencing submission, Hewson asked him how his statements about Stevenson’s remorse could be squared with the fact that Stevenson attempted to escape from custody at the Nelson courthouse in September 2014.

Wyllie replied: “It was impulsive. He bolted, because he wanted to see his children.”

“But he says he accepts responsibility for his actions,” Hewson said. “How is his conduct [attempting to escape] consistent with that?”

“I can’t respond to that,” Wyllie said. “He has paid for that with his sentence. It was not inherently contradictory to his remorse.

I can’t add anything further than that.”

As court was being adjourned at the sentencing hearing, Stevenson stood up in the prisoner’s box where he sat handcuffed and attentive

throughout the proceeding and asked if he could say something.

Stevenson told the court that when he attempted to escape he was still on Oxycontin prescribed by his doctor, and that he was not thinking clearly. Since then he has stopped taking all prescription drugs.

Asked by the judge if he wanted to say anything else, Stevenson said, “I want to apologize to the victims. I pray for their mental and emotional recovery.”

After sentencing, Patola told the media she thought the sentence was appropriate.

“Reading the victim impact statements, I think their sense of safety in the community has been damaged by these events.”

Wyllie, following the sentencing, told the media that Stevenson will not be appeal the decision because that would delay his access to addictions treatment and other programs in prison.

“I think it was a fair and just disposition,” Wyllie said.

“I think he is deeply remorseful, and the judge accepted that. I don’t think he in any way appreciated the impact that his conduct had until he [read] the victim impact statements.”

T

his is what will happen to all “Off Road” users if we don’t stand together to keep access to the wilderness open.

Land closures and trail restrictions have caught up to our sport of “off roading” in a frightening fashion. Misguided politicians and anti-access protectionist groups have lobbied heavily to try to shut us down and get us to leave our machines parked in the garage. Leaving them in the garage is definitely cheaper and makes them easier to keep clean, but is not as much fun as being out on the trail getting them dirty.

But, I can tell you that the future of “off roading” is stronger than ever! As I look at all the dirt bikes, ATV’s and 4 wheelers on the trail, we have to join together to fight back for access on many levels and all of us can play an important part is this battle.

LETTERS & OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Pipe bridge fees tied to Trail property values not fair Firstly, congratulations to all those involved for reaching an agreement with the new pipeline bridge. I was personally hoping for a least a single vehicle lane but that is now in the past.

If I understand the issue correctly, the primary reason for the new pipe bridge is to have a solid structure for the regional interceptor sewer line; I say if we need it, build it.

Reading Tuesday’s Trail Times (“Meetings reveal tax implications of pipe bridge,” Trail Times Sept. 22), I must say I have an issue with the City of Trail format of taxing on assessed property values.

Warfield and Rossland using a flat tax scheme seems far more fair and should be adopted for all taxpayers in the region. Everyone contrib-

utes equally for a city/regional project.

I am not against paying my fair share of taxes but this is definitely not fair.

People living within Columbia Heights and East Trail are far more liable to use the walking bridge on a regular basis than people from Sunningdale, Miral Heights, Glenmerry, and Waneta, but those are the areas that will be the hardest hit by increased taxes, (look up assessed values on the BC assessment website).

Carrying this even a few steps further, living in the Waneta area most residential properties do not have sewer services, (we are on septic systems), and it isn’t even an option for us to connect to sewer.

The city does not provide

any support to us, such as pumping or maintenance, as they have done in the past for Tadanac residents. Due to this fact we do not pay any sewer taxes, be it on the yearly utility bills or annual property taxes.

Are we now going to be expected to pay for a pipeline bridge, built for sewer services, at a higher rate through assessment values, than city residents that have full sewer service while we don’t have any?

I realize we must all pay taxes to support city infrastructure but as I said earlier, our “fair” share. I urge the city to reconsider this issue. Also anybody that agrees might want to pass this along to city council and management as you see fit.

Gas price discrepancy makes no sense A recent trip to Vancouver [Sept 21/15] gave me the chance to purchase my gas in Aldergrove B.C. The price per litre was .98.9 cents. For the life of me I cannot understand why it costs an extra .24 cents per litre to distribute gas in the Kootenays as opposed to the Abbottsford/

Aldergrove area.

If someone from the gas industry can explain it I would much appreciate it as well as I think the public might. As I see it, I feel we are getting ripped off and can do nothing about it.

Trees are a vital part of our lives National Tree Day in Canada was on September 23, 2015, as part of our National Forest Week.

I believe primary consideration should be given to the health, biodiversity, functionality, resiliency, inter-and connectivity of our forests.

The members of the Kingdom Plantae are instrumental in making and in keeping the Earth habitable: photosynthetic plants create free oxygen, plants hold the soil in place, plants shade the land, and plants capture and store the rainwater.

Trees provide many things to the forested ecosystems: vertical structure, an abundance of photosyntheticallyderived sugars, the creation of vital, living soil, the retention and re-release of water, the shade, food, habitat, cover, and building materials for a variety of larger organisms, the fixation and storage of nitrogen, the dead wood that is ever-so-much alive with organisms, the long-term, slow-release storage of carbon and other nutrients, and the refugia provided by trees in times of disturbance.

Clearcut logging and wildfire suppression dangerously ignore the combined value of these ecosystem services pro-

vided to us by trees. Instead, we have historically chosen to focus on the handful of economic benefits that can be derived from the fragmented, low-biodiversity, highly-(mis) managed, plantation “forests” that we create and from the dead trees we can harvest from those forests.

Think of it this way; clearcut logging a forest every 80 years is like demolishing and hauling away all the major buildings within a large, modern human city every 80 years.

The buildings are torn down, and the mass that composed those buildings is hauled away.

Then, the remained of people’s possessions are gathered together and burnt, all while the millions of inhabitants watch helplessly, now homeless, and without reliable access to food and to water. Also, all the underground services and utilities have been disrupted and laid bare to the elements.

Furthermore, every time the people try to rebuild, large amounts of toxic pesticides are sprayed over the city to discourage.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of new immigrates are brought in to supplant the

peoples’ place in the city. How many human cities could sustain that kind of abusive disruption and still be good places to live?

Forest ecosystems cannot sustain our current forest management techniques, so we much change them very soon, or face the very real consequences.

But the good news it that there are forest management and harvesting techniques which are more sustainable.

Our Forestry Sector can thus learn to train people for, and pay people for, jobs that care for our forests.

I would strongly urge putting an economic value on intact ecosystems and on putting effort into our many impoverished forests through sincere, thoughtful environmental restoration.

Selectively cut and harvested trees can leave lots of surrounding forest intact, which allows the forest to heal in its own scars naturally and to grow its remaining trees larger.

So, for this our National Forest Week, can we reconsider our forest practices and how we could change them for the better?

RELIGION

Trail & District Churches “Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven” When Jesus teaches his followers to pray, he teaches them ‘how’ to pray, not in lofty words or lengthy monologues, as if to change God’s mind, but in simple words and short outbursts that are meant to penetrate and transform our hearts into the likeness of his own love.

The Lord’s Prayer is essentially Jesus’ own prayer to the Father. Through it we gain a unique glimpse into his relationship with the Father and his oneness with the Will of God. What then does it mean: “Thy Will be done” when we come to God in prayer. What does it mean to let go of our preconceived plans or predetermined outcomes? What does it mean to lay down one’s life in faith and in hope knowing that the Lord is faithful and true to even the smallest and the least?

Sometimes there may be nowhere else to turn. As when you receive an unfavourable diagnosis or are forced to flee with only the clothes on your back. When your world is

THE UNITED CHURCH OF CANADA

turned upside down and you lost all sense of direction. But usually there are no lack of choices and to lose one’s way.

By teaching us to desire God’s Will be done, that heaven come down to earth, we are taught to desire that which is best. Not just in the context of my daily bread” but “our daily bread”. Not just that “I be forgiven for any wrongdoing that I may have committed” but that “we may all be forgiven and share it with those who have wronged us”. Notice that heaven isn’t the hedonistic paradise that looks after my needs, but the restoration of all things that have been scarred by sin and death.

In praying as we are taught, Jesus points us to something greater... something worth living and dying for: the great commandment to love as he loved us - totally, willing, joyfully and fruitfully. In praying “thy Will be done, Thy Kingdon come” we pray for that which we cannot fully conceive, but that has the power to conceive in us what only his grace can give.

P

oliticians would love to have Pope Francis’ approval ratings. His popularity crosses party lines and spills over the borders of the tiny state he heads. The spiritual leader of the Catholic Church, Francis may be the most influential and galvanizing leader on the world stage. Leadership traits alone cannot fully explain the “Francis effect”.

Francis is a case study for leadership; he has every attribute that shows up on checklists for good leaders. And while many politicians share some of the same traits, few enjoy the LOUISE level of popularity of the pope. In my view, this is because leadership cannot be boiled down to a Everyday Theology checklist of behaviors.

Leadership requires more than the mastery of a set of skills. An outstanding leader also communicates, through words and actions, who he is, and the values that inform his life. We might refer to this as the leader’s spirituality.

Apart from his leadership abilities, Francis’ spirituality attracts people. His humility and respect for others reflect his understanding of service and his commitment to placing people at the center of his papacy.

It would be unfair to make a direct comparison between the leadership style of Francis and those individuals presently seeking the top job in the nation. After all, Francis does not have to worry about getting elected, or coming up with a platform that appeals to a majority of voters.

But there is one page from his playbook that our national party leaders might consider imitating.

Francis inherited a church rife with problems.

He identified one of these problems as clericalism, the focus on privilege, status and power that separates priests from the people they are supposed to serve. “Priests”, said Francis, “should be shepherds living with the smell of sheep.”

Our national party leaders say they walk and talk with “ordinary Canadians”; each one would have us believe that he alone has the pulse of the nation. But, it is obvious from watching the televised coverage of the leaders’ tour that none are taking on the multitude of smells that permeate the pasture. The majority of people who attend the campaign events are party faithful, and the individuals who stand nodding in agreement behind the leader are there to persuade others to join the fold.

Our national party leaders are accustomed to the smell of their own pen. While that is not necessarily bad, it limits perspective. Leaders may miss the bleating of dissonant voices, voices that could help the country to become more prosperous and equitable.

This hanging around at the center of one’s pen does not end with the campaign; it makes it way into government in the form of partisanship.

The center of the sheep pen does not afford a complete view of the pasture. As Francis observed while visiting a parish at the edge of Rome, “We understand reality better not from the center, but from the outskirts.”

During an election, leaders try to convince voters that their party has the best ideas. After the election, the top dog would do well to seek perspectives and incorporate worthy ideas that come from outside the party fold.

THE ROYAL THEATRE PRESENTS

UBCM PHOTO

Vancouver Coun.

Andrea Reimer speaks to delegates at Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver.

Online voting gets tepid thumbs up E-vote privacy, manipulation fears aired at UBCM

BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

B.C. municipal leaders voted by a slim margin Wednesday to urge the province to enable online voting in time for the 2018 local elections.

The resolution from Osoyoos was passed by 51 per cent of delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in an electronic vote after it had initially been declared defeated in a show of hands.

Advocates say the convenience of online voting could boost the dismal turnout of municipal elections and engage many more young people.

Vancouver Coun. Andrea

Reimer said no municipality would be forced to adopt online voting, the aim is merely to make it an available option for communities and individuals that want it.

But Saanich Coun. Vic Derman warned there’s no way to guarantee an online voter is casting their ballot in privacy, without someone else directing or manipulating them, possibly buying their vote.

“It does affect one’s privacy of vote that should take place behind a screen at a ballot box,” said Lorne Lewis, a Sunshine Coast Regional District director. He said it’s wrong “to put people in a situation where they can be badgered about their vote.”

The close vote suggests the issue is having increasing trouble gaining traction.

A similar UBCM motion in 2011 passed by a two-to-one margin.

Since then, an independent panel struck by the provincial government concluded last year that the risks outweigh the benefits, and recommended that any move to online voting be limited to voters with specific accessibility challenges.

That report by B.C.’s chief electoral officer also found no evidence of a significant increase in voter turnout in other jurisdictions that have adopted online voting.

Reimer isn’t concerned about the close vote and said online voting for B.C. mayors and councils is inevitable.

“The only question is when and how far behind other jurisdictions we’ll be when we get to that point.”

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

Smoke Eaters ready for the Show

Scouts from 41 colleges and 23 NHL teams in attendance

BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

A pair of wins this weekend will go a long way in getting Trail Smoke Eater players some attention as they head to Chilliwack for the fourth annual BCHL Showcase.

The “Showcase” serves as a launching pad to the NCAA, with nearly 200 scouts from 41 colleges and 23 NHL teams in the stands watching the BCHL teams in action over the next four days at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre.

The Smokies will play their first games of the year against teams outside the Interior division, facing the Prince George Spruce Kings on Saturday and the Wenatchee Wild on Sunday.

“It’s always a different experience whenever we leave our division,” said coach and GM Nick Deschenes. “We’re just excited to get over there with all the scouts that are going to be there so our big

thing is really keying in on how we play and putting our best foot forward.”

Last year Trail graduated a number of college commits including Trail natives Jake Lucchini (Michigan Tech), Craig Martin (Quinnipiac), Scott Davidson (Quinnipiac), and Dallas Calvin (Selkirk College) as well as Charlie Zuccharini (Arizona State) and Bryan Basilico (Lake Superior). On this year’s team, rookies Nick Halloran and John Laurito have committed to Air Force and Army, respectively, leaving about 20 players seeking a similar opportunity.

“We’ve definitely promoted our guys here and made it known to schools whose eligible for what, academically and as well as whose playing well,” said Deschenes. “Two games doesn’t make a scholarship and that’s something we’re going to stress with our guys; it’s a process, and an opportunity to show that you’re ready.”

The Smoke Eaters will face two teams at opposite

ends of the Mainland division spectrum. The undefeated 3-0 Wild lead the division while Prince George is winless in four games.

Kyle Stephan, 20, of Barrie, Ont. leads the Wild with two goals and seven points in three games. Wenatchee goalie Chase Perry has played all three games and registered impressive numbers with one shutout, a 1.34 goals against average, and a sparkling .934 save percentage.

“Their recruiting parameters are pretty loose, so basically any player not in the USHL - Wenatchee is a solid option for them if they want to play in the BCHL. So they’ll be a contender for sure this year.”

On the flip side, the Spruce Kings have been the most penalized team in the league with the second worst penalty kill, allowing nine goals on 29 shorthanded situations for a 68.9 per cent PK. The team has also struggled offensively, scoring just two goals in four games while allowing 22.

Trail Smoke Eaters forward Kurt Black leads the team with

THANK YOU!

three goals and seven points, while Bailey MacBurnie has been solid in net registering two wins and a loss while putting up a 3.35 goals against average and respectable 9.09 save percentage. The 2-2 Smokies have struggled on the power play, netting just one goal in 19 power play opportunities, with an 80 per cent kill rate on 25 penalties.

“We’re still hammering out our defensive play,” said Deschenes. “We need that to be better for us to give ourselves a chance to win games, and playing pretty high-end teams like Wenatchee, and Salmon Arm and Penticton coming up, those are very strong teams and we’re going to need to shore up that part of our game for sure.”

The Smokies are coming off a 5-3 victory over Merritt in their only game last weekend. Rhett Wilcox will be back in the lineup after suffering a concussion in the first game of the season, a 5-3 win over Vernon in which he scored two goals.

BY TIMES STAFF The Western Hockey League is celebrating its 50th season by selecting the top 125 players in its history, and three West Kootenay boys have made the grade.

Trail’s Ray Ferraro and Todd Robinson are on the list as is Nelson’s Danny Gare who played with the Calgary Centennials from 1971-74.

Ferraro split his two year WHL career between the Portland Winterhawks and Brandon Wheat Kings. The five-foot-nine forward was a prolific scorer in junior hockey, that included his MVP and top-scoring season where he tallied a 108 goals and 192 points for the Wheat Kings in 1983–84. He also was a member of the 1982–83 Winterhawks squad that won the WHL championship.

Ferraro’s NHL career spanned 18 seasons, playing with the Hartford Whalers, New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Los Angeles Kings, Atlanta Thrashers, and retiring with the St. Louis Blues in 2002. In 1,258 games, Ferraro scored 408 goals, 490 assists and 898 points.

Todd Robinson meanwhile was rookie of the year in the WHL in 1995 and won the Bobby Clarke trophy for the league’s top scorer in 1996-97 netting 38 goals and 134 points in 71 games for Portland Winterhawks. Robinson, a consummate playmaker, played five seasons in the WHL, and went on to play 15 years of professional hockey with 13 different organizations over seven different leagues. Over that time he tallied 1,546 points (402 goals and 1,144 assists) to go along with an incredible plus-133 rating in 1,125 career games played.

As for Gare, after three seasons with the Centennials, he went onto a 14 year NHL career, most notably eight seasons with the Buffalo Sabres where he had two 50-goal seasons, and five with the Detroit Red Wings, before playing his final season, 1986-87, with the Edmonton Oilers. Gare’s stats included 354 goals and 331 assists for 685 points in 827 NHL games.

The list includes the best WHL players from the League’s inception in 1966 through to players that suited up as recently as last season.

In total: 88 forwards, 27 defencemen, and 10 goaltenders made the list. Players were selected based on a combination of the impact they had while playing in the WHL and their careers upon graduating from the League.

As a part of the WHL’s 50th Season celebrations, fans can have their say in October alongside the committee by way of an online vote available at www.WHL.ca. The results will be released in January, when the WHL will count down the Top 50 WHL Players of All-Time.

The committee was comprised of members of the media and individuals who have demonstrated long-standing contributions to the WHL, along with WHL Office staff.

Thanks to all the players and sponsors for supporting our fundraising golf tournament. It was a huge sucess Billets wanted for 2015/16 season.

SPORTS KAY BUNA MEMORIAL

YOGI BERRA

More than a baseball icon

“

If I had to do it all over again, I would do it all over again,” sounds like the epitaph for a welllived life and I believe it was.

Yogi Berra, who died this week at 90, said that during what was his last serious interview a few of years ago.

That life included sheperding landing craft in a small boat on D-Day, marrying and remaining marred to for 65 years, the third girl he ever dated, and, of course, becoming one of the best and best loved baseball players of all time.

The list of his accomplishments as a ball player, often forgotten as people remember his quirky wording and outright malapropisms, is enormous.

He was, at a time when Ted Williams, Joe Dimaggio, Stan Musial and, “Willie, Mickey and the Duke,” were in their primes, among the great hitters, and greater, “clutch,” hitters of that or any time.

He was the winningest player in history, has the most world series championships and in the course of seven years won the American League MVP award three times, finished second twice and was third and fourth as well. In his 14 full seasons as a Yankee regular he never once did not receive MVP votes. Perhaps the best all round catcher in history, Berra also played outfield and third and first base, because iconic manager Casey Stengel said the secret to his success was, “I never make up a lineup without my man (Berra).”

DAVE

THOMPSON Sports ‘n’ Things

He was also a humble and kind citizen and an astute businessman - the first to hire a marketing agent - who was universally admired and loved during his life.

Berra will be remembered, too, for the comments, often succinct and comedic at the same time, that had him listed as the most quoted English speaker next to the wordy and erudite Winston Churchill.

Although he believed, “Baseball is 90 per cent mental, the other half is physical,” he also said, “You can’t think and hit at the same time.”

Among my favourites, alluding to a rare time when the Yankees, and their attendance numbers, were woeful, he said, “If people don’t want to come to the ball park, you can’t stop them.”

There are scads more, but while people are smiling at his zen utterings, I hope they will also be remembering a good man who was a truly great baseball player.

As a lifelong Dodger fan, my animus towards the Yankees, especially the Berra-era Yankees - he was

and he made an impact on our group for sure, and hopefully we have an ally down the road . . . Little did they (the players) know they were playing for an NCAA assistant coach.”

a driving force every World Series, especially the four straight and five of six in which pinstriped teams beat sometimes seemingly superior Brooklyn Dodgers squads - knew and knows few bounds. Hate may sound too strong, but it is close to the correct description of my lifelong emotion towards all things Yankee - except one.

I couldn’t and cannot feel anything but admiration and affection for Yogi Berra.

“The future ain’t what it used to be.” RIP. • The new season of the KIJHL looks, mostly, like the old season. It is true the Nitehawks had a slightly shaky start last year and are unbeaten so far this one, but the standings, as usual, have Beaver Valley’s Murdoch Division as the toughest in the league (three of the top five teams in the league) and the usual suspects - Beaver Valley, Castlegar and Nelson - are in their usual top team spots.

The Nitehawks get a seemingly soft spot Friday, hosting Columbia Valley, but regardless of the outcome of that game, Sunday’s tilt with Castlegar Rebels, in Castlegar, will be for top spot in the division.

The Birchbank Ladies Eclectic (Kay Buna Memorial - 26th Anniversary) Tournament was held on Sept 12 and 13th. From left: are sponsors Anna Bisaro and Ron Bisaro. Winners: Brenda O’Donaughy the Low Net Runner Up with a 61 and Lynn Pachkowsky Low Net and Keeper Trophy with a 59. Sponsors: Donna Buna, Laura Bisaro, Gord Buna, Lesley Buna and Lorne Buna.

Beaver Valley saw off the Rebels in the exhibition season, outscoring them 18-3, but Castlegar is 4-1 so far in the real season (their lone loss, coincidentally, coming at the hands of Columbia Valley - hello Nitehawks).

The Rebels did not muster an exhibition win, but barring the surprising setback in Invermere, have had a strong start to the regular season.

With junior A out of the mix for a while, seems like hockey folks could to worse than track the Hawks this weekend.

The government of British Columbia will continue its controversial wolf cull this year with the intent of saving the dwindling herds of mountain caribou in the South Selkirk and South Peace regions.

It’s not a strategy with any guarantee of success but it gained the reluctant support of conservation group Wildsight last year.

“The short-term strategies to remove wolves may not ultimately lead to mountain caribou recovery,” wrote director John Bergenske in his blog.

“We recognize and accept that risk. But the wolves will come back, the caribou will not.”

However, opposition to the cull is mounting. Singer Miley Cyrus made a much publicized visit to B.C. last week to protest the wolf cull, and asked her millions of followers on Instagram to sign a petition.

Premier Christy Clark didn’t appreciate the act and told Cyrus to stick to singing. If the province needed advice on the singer’s signature dance move — twerking — they would ask, the Premier said.

Pamela Anderson has also spoken out against it.

Celebrities aside, however, there is opposition to the cull and it is getting a visible boost on the Trans Canada Highway.

With support and project sponsorship received from Animal Alliance of Canada, non-profit group Wolf Awareness has erected a billboard on the Trans-Canada

Highway just west of Golden.

“The billboard is intended to bring exposure to BC’s aerial gunning experiment and lackadaisical hunting and trapping regulations, alerting visitors and residents alike to the mistreatment of this highly intelligent and social species,” said Sadie Parr from Wolf Awareness Inc. “Through the Freedom of Information process, Wolf Awareness president Gary Allan has revealed that the province’s plans to kill wolves on a large scale surrounding the South Peace and South Selkirk caribou herds will last for a minimum of five years.

“Further information gained through the FOIP confirmed the pre-determined agenda of the recently released provincial wolf management plan (April 17, 2014) to legitimize the systematic killing of wolves, validating massive concerns raised during the public comment period. “ Ethier did state publicly that the efficacy of the wolf cull in protecting mountain caribou wasn’t certain. The government was still trying to figure out if it will work, he said.

Parr has strong words for that strategy.

“Many wolf biologists argue that allowing wolves to express their natural social behaviour benefits the wider ecosystem as well as wolves. The BC government wants to kill wolves for sport, to appease ranchers, and under the pretense of recovering an endangered species that has little habitat left.”

Dear Annie: After five years of dating, my fiance and I have purchased a house and are in the process of moving in together.

Everything is going well, except for one thing: “Walter” does not want me to bring any of the furniture my mother gave me.

My mother has kept several couches, rugs and other household items in storage for me, and I love these pieces. Walter has expressed the desire to simply buy new items rather than use what was left to me, which I find disrespectful, not only to me, but to my family. I tried to compromise by donating many of these items and only keeping a handful, but he wants all of it gone.

Annie, this is causing a major rift. I refuse to give away items my mother left me simply because he is being stubborn. Walter thinks I am being difficult and that dumping these things is no big deal. His cavalier attitude makes me even more upset. I would never ask him to donate an entire storage locker

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new.

I thought about you yesterday and I will tomorrow too.

I think of you in silence and I make no outward show.

For what it meant to lose you, only those who love you know.

Remembering you is easy, I do it every day.

It’s just the heartache of losing you, that will never, ever go away.

I miss you so very much, at times my tears I cannot hide.

But within my heart I know, that you are always by my side.

Ever since you went away, life has never been the same.

Yet it comforts me to know, that one day we’ll be together again.

Missing you every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day.

All my love forever Maria ****************************

LOCAL Visit Waneta Expansion’s

LegAcy DispLAy

WHAT YOU SEE ...

At the Ft. Shepherd Viewing Area

DEBBIE DAVIES PHOTO

Debbie Davies snapped this photo of a banded garden spider in her flower garden in Montrose. According to wikipedia. com, the banded garden spider is common around the world and typically begins to appear in autumn from early September to late October as temperatures begin to drop. If you have a photo you would like to share with our readers email it to editor@ trailtimes.ca

The display was provided to the local community by the project owners, Fortis Inc., Columbia Power, and Columbia Basin Trust, as a legacy of the Waneta Expansion Project.

The three pictographs represent the use of the Waneta area by First Nations people, construction of the water tunnels for the hydroelectric generating station and a representation of how electricity generated by the facility helps power communities.

The display is located along Highway 22A, between the Trail Regional Airport and the Waneta border crossing.

BY CHELSEA NOVAK Rossland News

Starting Oct. 1 Rossland will play host to Heritage BC’s 2015 Annual Conference.

The three day conference is a collaboration between Heritage BC, the Rossland Heritage Commission, and the Rossland Museum and Discovery Centre.

The museum will host an opening talk by former CBC host Mark Forsythe called “How I Caught the Heritage Bug” on Thursday evening, and it promises to be a great start to the conference.

“It’ll be like just a nice walk-around cocktail night,” said Joelle Hodgins, the museum’s director. “The museum is hoping to have local beer and wine.”

The Thursday evening event is free for anyone to attend, and there will be a shuttle running between the museum and the Miners Hall.

Tech is a major sponsor for the evening’s events.

Friday morning will feature heritage expert Jim Mountain as a keynote speaker discuss-

The afternoon will feature a number of workshops, which Rosslanders can attend for $35 each.

“They span from downtown revitalization to climate control to fundraising to hands-on timber framing workshops,” explains Jackie Drysdale, chair of the Heritage Commission.

“They really run the gambit.”

The Prospector’s Dinner Conference Social will be held in the evening, featuring entertainment from the Golden City Fiddlers and the Boom Town Garter Girls.

“From a Rossland perspec-

“We’re gonna have some people in costume, [and] the entertainment goes way back to our earlier days.”

Rosslanders can pay a special ticket price of $40 to attend the dinner. That price also includes one complimentary beverage.

Sunday there will be further workshops, and heritage tours, including a walking tour of downtown Rossland, a guided tour of the Rossland Museum, and a walking tour of Columbia Cemetery.
