Changes to utilities rates postponed CHELSEA NOVAK Rossland News

The City of Rossland announced late Sunday night that it will postpone its plans to change water and sewer rates starting Jan. 1, 2016.

The proposed changes were the result of a consultation

and were meant to address “a long history of underinvestment in Rossland’s water and sewer infrastructure.”

According to the press release, city council had identified problems with the new rate structure even before they sent it out for public con-

sultation.

“The consultants’ recommendation might work in a large metropolis but looking at the specific impacts on Rossland, council isn’t convinced that these unchartered waters were the right approach for the city,” it said in

the release. City council will continue to review the water and sewer rates, but on a more relaxed timeline. Council has decided that basing the new rates on pipe size may not “provide the equitable solution council was looking for,” and instead, consumption

will most likely end up being the major factor in determining the new rates. The pubic meeting scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. at the Seniors’ Hall will continue as planned, giving Rosslanders a chance to ask questions and offer input.

Tourism Rossland and the City of Rossland are pleased to announce that the new event sign at the corner of Columbia Ave. and St. Paul is ready to go.

This project was completed in association with the City of Rossland, provincial funding from the Resort Municipality Initiative, and the Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives Program.

“The new event sign is precisely what Resort Municipality Initiative funding is intended for. It will help Rossland promote tourism events in the community, as well as encourage people to stay longer and enjoy this beautiful part of British Columbia,” said Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour.

The goal of the community event sign is to highlight tourism events, and will be available to all local organizations for bookings through the City of Rossland. For more information and the booking form :http://www.rossland.ca/sites/default/files/ city-council_policies_community-events-sign-policy-and-application_2015-10-06.pdf “We are excited to have completed this project and to have created a legacy which is available to the entire community. As events become an increas-

ingly important aspect of our local tourism economy it is a great way to assist in promoting them,” said Deanne Steven, executive director of Tourism Rossland.

Mayor Kathy Moore commented that “This project was a great collaboration between the City of Rossland, and Tourism Rossland and is an excellent example of how we can leverage funds to create projects that have a positive impact on the community. It also highlights the importance of the Resort Municipality Initiative funding in improving our tourism infrastructure.”

The Province is investing $10.5 million through the Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) program for tourism infrastructure and amenities in 14 resort communities. The RMI program helps resort municipalities to increase the number of visitors and their length of stay, broaden resort activities to expand the length of the tourist season, increase employment, and to diversify the local tax base.

Tourism Rossland is Rossland’s destination marketing organisation whose mission is to work in a fair and unbiased manner to grow Rossland’s year round tourism economy within the context of the community’s vision and values.

Trail Society upgrades Dewdney Submitted by the Kootenay Columbia Trails Society The Kootenay Columbia Trails Society has been busy completing significant upgrades to the historic Dewdney recreation trail.

Originally constructed in 1865 to access an East Kootenay mining boom, a remnant 5.4km section of the trail south of Rossland remains popular with local and regional residents, and serves as the final leg of the internationally renowned Seven Summits trail.

Both the long passage of time and recent adjacent logging and road building degraded the trail surface to an extent that it had become unnecessarily rough and eroded, so with the generous financial support of the Columbia Basin Trust’s Community Development Program

The Kootenay Columbia Trail Society has just completed Phase 1 of the updates to the Dewdney Trail. Photos by Stewart Spooner

and the Nelson District Credit Union’s Community Investment Program, and the cooperation of the landowner Selkirk Mountain Forest, the KCTS has been adding drainage features, repairing the trail surface, and re-routing

short sections of the trail, to both improve the trail experience and reduce the ongoing maintenance requirement.

Phase 1 is now complete, with phases 2 and 3 scheduled for coming years.

Home children remembered by Kootenay author CHELSEA NOVAK Rossland News

Sean Arthur Joyce gave a talk on Canada’s home children at the Rossland Museum on Thursday, Oct. 29.

Joyce, from New Denver, is the author of Laying the Children’s Ghosts to Rest: Canada’s Home Children in the West, and his talk was part of the museum’s fall speaker series.

There were more than 100,000 home children rounded up from the streets of Britain to be used in Canada as labourers between 1869 and 1948, and it’s estimated that one in eight Canadians is the descendant of a home child. Joyce himself is part of that statistic.

Joyce’s grandfather, Cyril William Joyce, came to Canada when he was 16, without parents and with three other boys, who ranged in age from 12 to 15 or 16.

“He was sent to Edmonton where he was then shipped out to various farms in northern Alberta to work,” explained Joyce.

Joyce’s grandfather

didn’t talk about how he came to Canada and disposed of letters and photos that might have revealed something about his past.

Writing the book gave Joyce a chance to learn more about how his grandfather came to Canada and how that shaped him.

“I learned that he absolutely hated the farm, hated the work, was very unhappy, and couldn’t wait to get out basically,” said Joyce. “Until he got the chance to come to Trail and work for Cominco.... Cyril worked at Trail in one of the sort of control rooms that they had.”

Cyril wasn’t the only home child who ended up working for Cominco. Joyce also talked about the Roberts brothers, one of whom, Walter, ended up working at the smelter.

Life in Canada wasn’t easy for Walter who was abused by the first farmer he worked for, but eventually he started a family in Rossland.

He’s now buried in Mountain View Cemetery with his sister.

Joyce published Laying the Children’s Ghosts to Rest last year, eight years after he started doing research.

“I started researching in 2007. I mean I work as a reporter so I wasn’t able to do it fulltime until about 2011,” he said. “We visited archives in Victoria, Nelson, Ottawa—lots of places—Vernon. So we visited archives all over the country basically to try and track down information.”

Joyce said he’s surprised they don’t teach about home children in schools.

“Why is there this big empty space in our history when so many of us have direct ties to it?”

Getting kids to Rossland Summit School safely has been a major consideration in the redesign of Washington St. Photo by Chelsea Novak

What to do with Washington Street CHELSEA NOVAK Rossland News

At the last regular council meeting on Monday, Oct. 26, city council reviewed the results of the Washington St. Design Charette, and voted on how to proceed.

Included in the material presented to council was not only staff recommendations, but responses from community members.

Bike lane to Jubilee A number people strongly agreed with constructing a bike lane from First Ave. to Jubilee St., but there were also a number of people who disagreed with it. One person called the idea “ridiculous” and many were concerned that the new bike lane would eat into available parking space.

Council ultimately voted to proceed with the bike lane as planned, as recommended by city staff.

West sidewalk to Fourth Most people supported the idea of putting in a sidewalk on the west side of Washington from downtown to Fourth Ave. People were mostly concerned about losing parking or street width, but many agreed the sidewalk was needed for the safety of students walking

to school.

Staff recommended proceeding as planned, which city council did.

East sidewalk to Centennial Most people support a sidewalk on the east side of Washington as well. Those who opposed it thought adding a sidewalk would make the street too narrow to be safe, especially in winter. Others didn’t feel their needed to be a sidewalk all the way up Washington. Many of those who supported the sidewalk suggested adding some kind of barrier at the corner near Sixth Ave. Staff recommended proceeding with a sidewalk but adding bollards for pedestrian safety, and council voted to accept the recommendations.

Close Fourth Residents were split on whether or not to close fourth. Some felt that closing the intersection would increase safety, while others felt it was unnecessary, inconvenient and not the right place for a crosswalk to Seven Summits School.

Staff recommended proceeding as planned, and said that both public works and the school district approve the location of the crosswalk. Council supported the rec-

ommendations.

Close Sixth Most people supported closing Sixth Ave. because of safety concerns. Those opposed to closing it suggested making it a one-way street going down from Washington.

Staff recommended closing the intersection for safety reasons, but also noted that it may be less costly to keep the street open as a one-way. Council directed staff to look into which option would be better, based on cost and safety.

Close Turner More people supported closing Turner Ave. than opposed it. Most supporters said they felt the intersection was dangerous, while those opposed were concerned about accessing their homes.

Staff recommended looking at options to turn Turner into a one-way so residence can easily access their property, and council supported the recommendation, directing staff to choose the best option.

Kirkup and McLeod intersection Residents were also split on the redesign of the Kirkup Ave. and McLeod Ave. intersection. Many of those opposed to the redesign didn’t feel it did anything to mitiChristine Esovoloff Sales Associate

gate speeding on McLeod, and wanted to see McLeod turn onto Kirkup, but staff recommended against that, as it created poor sight lines and awkward angles. Council voted to proceed with the redesign as planned.

Bumpouts More people supported the bumpouts at Second Ave. and Third Ave. than opposed them. Those opposed felt the streets would be too narrow, those in favour felt they’d calm traffic.

Staff recommended proceeding as planned and council agreed, voting to add an extra bumpout up near Kirkup at the crosswalk.

Landscaping The majority were in favour of the proposed landscaping, which calls for using drought resistant trees, shrubs and flowers.

Those in favour felt Washington could use a touch up, while those opposed were concerned about the cost. Many people were also concerned about sight lines, and approved so long as they were maintained.

Staff recommended proceeding with landscaping while ensuring that it doesn’t obstruct views and requires low maintenance costs. Council approved.

Learners embark on historic tour Chelsea Novak Rossland News

Learners at the Seven Summits Centre for Learning recently embarked on a four-day historical road trip.

Grade 10s travelled as far north as Trout Lake, making 13 historical stops along the way, and at every stop a student gave a presentation on the historical significance of the location.

On the first day the learners stopped at the Slocan Valley Sinixt First Nation Village site, where Alesha Hall gave a presentation on the Sinixt Nation. “I did my project on the Sinixt First Nations and why they are considered extinct. They’re not actually extinct it’s just that their name can’t legally be put on a document,� said Hall. “We went to see one old community where all the pit houses would be, and we got to go into a real pit house.�

From there they went to the Nikkei Interment Memorial Centre in New Denver, where Cobi McBride gave his presentation. “We stopped in New Denver and talked about the Canadian Japanese internment during World War II and how the Japanese were put into camps ... to make sure that they weren’t spying on the Canadian Navy to give away locations of ships,� said McBride. “How the Canadian government took advantage of them and took all their stuff while they were put in the camps, and sold everything to help fund the camps

and help fund the army.�

On the second day, the students went to Sandon Ghost Town and Museum where Hayden Butler gave a presentation on the town and the Hydro Electric Generator. “At Sandon there was a really cool museum, and in the basement there were a bunch of creepy mannequins and all that,� said Delaney Bowman, “and there was an ouija board leaned up against a wall, and we thought it would be interesting if we could try to make it work, but we didn’t have the piece.�

Bowman had the challenge of presenting on a site the learners couldn’t actually visit. “I was Arrowhead, but we didn’t get to go to Arrowhead because, well, for one it’s under water, and it’s also on the other side of Arrow Lakes,� she explained. “So we drove on the road past it and I spoke a little bit about the history and how it was pretty big in its time, and now that it’s flooded from the Hugh Keenleyside Dam there’s only the cemeteries left.�

Autumn Terwoort presented on the Windsor Hotel at Trout Lake, where the students stayed on their second night. “The Windsor Hotel was created in 1897, sold to a girl named Alice Jowett in1907, and she was the longest lasting owner. I think she had the hotel for 30 years,� said Terwoort. “It’s said that the hotel’s haunted now by her ghost.

She doesn’t mean any harm unless you take something.�

The Trout Lake general store is also home to the last working gravity-fed gas pumps.

On the third day the learners stopped in Kaslo and toured the S.S. Moyie. “We went on the S.S. Moyie. It’s the [last standing] sternwheeler in the world,� said Sophie Wardy. “I thought it was really cool to see how it was all rebuilt.� “They pulled out the walls when they were fixing it up and they found like a whole bunch of old gum wrappers, and like lighters, and an old pair of glasses, which was cool,� added Hall.

Learners then spent the night at Kaslo J.V. Humphries School. “That was really fun,� said Terwoort. “Getting to walk around, have the whole school to ourselves.�

All of the communities the learners stopped in were very welcoming. “All the way along the trip we were very welcomed.... Like the Japanese internment camp [museum], they stayed open a few days later to welcome us there,� said Jonny Coleshill, the mentor who took the learners on the trip. “We stayed in the community hall in New Denver..., the school in Kaslo, and everybody was very welcoming and excited about our trip.�

On the fourth day students got to go zip lining at Kokanee Creek Zip Line before visiting more historic sites like Nelson and the Dewdney Trail right here in Rossland.

Building a new Mosquito Chelsea Novak Rossland News

During the past summer the Friends of the Rossland Range (FORR) were busy tearing down some of the old huts in the Rossland Range Recreation Site, and building new cabins to replace them.

Mosquito Cabin was one of those replaced, and Don Liszt and his wife Laura Mackay took on the rebuild as FORR volunteers.

“The old one was just an aframe with a ridge pole, and poles, and Tyvek and a tin roof,” said Liszt who teaches wood shop and construction at Stanley Humphries Secondary School in Castlegar.

The old cabin was also infested with mice and pack rats.

“Whenever we did the fall clean up to be ready for the next ski season it was disgusting,” said Mackay. “Going in and having to clean and get it ready, and knowing that your cleaning was kind of fruitless because they would just poop again and it would just be filthy again.”

A key requirement of the new shelters is that they be rodentproof. Not only will keeping mice and rats out make for less mess, it may also help prevent the spread of disease.

Deer mice can carry hantavirus, which causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), a rare but potentially fatal disease.

Only a couple of people in BC are reported as being ill with hantavirus each year, but in North America one in three people with HPS has died.

The disease is spread when the deer mice droppings, urine or nesting are disturbed and vi-

Arts Locals screen ski film at Royal Theatre

On November 11th we thank surviving veterans and we remember the soldiers who lost their lives defending our country.

Katrine would like to send her support to all of our veterans and their families for their part in preserving all that we now have.

Two locals, David Peacock and Andre Nutini, will be screening their latest film, Passenger, at the Royal Theatre in Trail on Thursday night.

Passenger is Nutini’s fourth film and Peacock’s first full film with Legs of Steel, a close-knit group of professional freeskiers who make movies together.

The original members of Legs of Steel who star in the film are Paddy Graham, Bene Mayr, and Thomas Hlawitschka.

The film took two years to make, and is 65 minutes long.

“It’s a good day if you’re out there from sunrise to sunset and you get two or three shots,” said Nutini.

“So with the amount of days that are actually good for filming, with snow conditions and weather and everything, ... you only get a good film day maybe once a week, and you only get two or three shots that are worthy of the film, and that’s why we decided to take two years with this project.”

Nutini and Peacock started filming in December 2013, and were based in Innsbruck, Austria for the duration of the film. They travelled all over the world to shoot the film on diverse mountain terrain: Revelstoke, BC; Haines, Alaska; Queenstown, New Zealand; Hokkaido, Japan; and all over the Alps.

The crew was also supposed to stop in Whistler, but there was no snow and the trip had to be cancelled.

IMPORTANT NOTICE CHANGE TO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULE Notice is hereby given that the Regular Council Meeting scheduled for Monday, November 9th has been cancelled and rescheduled to be held on Tuesday, November 10th, 2015.

Both meetings will occur at 6:00 p.m.in Council Chambers, City Hall, 1899 Columbia Avenue, Rossland BC. If you have any questions, please call Cynthia Anonuevo, Deputy Corporate Officer at (250) 362-2323.

“We’ve just been chasing winter really,” said Nutini.

The film is narrated by old man winter, and Nutini and Peacock, along with the skiers in the movie, are passengers of winter as he carries them from place to place.

Nutini and Peacock didn’t ski in the movie, they were there to film and direct, but they still had to be able to cover a lot of the same terrain as the skiers.

“We need to be able to get into all the places that you see the skiers skiing, so 90 per cent of what you see, we need to have the skill-level to access that terrain, and do it safely,” said Nutini, “because if there’s one person on the crew that can’t do something safely then they’re a hazard to everybody else, so that’s why we’ve always been such a small group.”

Given some of the dangerous terrain the crew was covering, trust was very important.

“Amongst the group we have a lot of trust in each other and we rely on each other’s skills to make sure we come home at the end of the day and make decisions together that we all trust,” said Nutini.

Passenger will premiere at the Royal Theatre on Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and it is a licensed event, but still an all ages event.

Teck Metals Ltd. sponsors the 2015 Rossland Mountain Film Festival Teck Metals Ltd. will sponsor the Rossland Mountain Film Festival for its 2015 festival Nov. 18-22.

The Teck Rossland Mountain Film Festival is set to celebrate its seventeenth year of existence of this annual festival. The Rossland Mountain Film Festival (RMFF) Society has been very fortunate to have Teck’s support over the years as the platinum and title sponsor of the festival.

This year’s festival is shaping up to be a very exciting weekend packed with big films and entertainment including showcasing Jumbo Wild during the Teck Mountain Gala on Friday night of the festival.

This gala event will be a red carpet affair with a jazzswing band and guests will be dressed to the nines in their vintage Hollywood outfits.

The festival opens up on Wednesday night at the Flying Steamshovel with the Legs of Steel film Passenger .Thursday will be an all ages event at the Miners’ Hall from 6 to 8 p.m. with entry by donation to the Rossland Skate Park Association. Friday will be the big Teck Mountain Gala Vintage Hollywood event in the Prestige Hotel Ball Room showcasing the acclaimed Jumbo Wild film. Saturday’s events

include a matinee and talk at the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre followed by the Mountain Film and party at the Miners’ Hall with action-packed films and entertainment by Bend Sinister — a rock ‘n’ roll band out of Vancouver.

A longstanding Kootenay tradition, the Teck Rossland Mountain Film Festival is committed to presenting the latest, greatest, big-budget flicks alongside homegrown, roots-based, independent films.

About the Rossland Mountain Film Festival The Rossland Mountain Film Festival began in 1999 by a group of locals looking to create a signature event to generate enthusiasm for adventure sports and to celebrate and promote mountain culture and the upcoming ski and snowboard season.

The Festival showcases the work of Kootenay filmmakers, photographers, and visual artists and offers professional and skill development workshops. This event attracts approximately 900 visitors and locals to five days of programmed events that focus on film, visual arts, music, and multi-media productions.
