The building of a bridge Outgoing city engineer provides insight to construction of city’s new pipe/pedestrian bridge VALERIE ROSSI Trail Times

City engineer Warren Proulx is capping off 39 years on the job with the largest undertaking of his career.

Proulx recently sat down with the Trail Times to chat about the project in hopes of giving readFROM ers a glimpse of what it takes to build a bridge set to span the Columbia River from Rotary Park to CHEAPEST & COLDEST McQuarrie Street at Columbia Avenue.

Trail’s first “hospital” was built by Dr. Corsan. The building served as a residence for his family and a clinic for the town’s early pioneers.

First hospital led to first-class care

The Trail Historical Society has kindly shared stories from Trail’s past.

In May 1948, Trail celebrated the 20-year anniversary of the opening of the old Trail Tadanac Hospital which was situated on Victoria Street. But that wasn’t the city’s first medical centre.

To recognize National Hospital Week, which at that time coincided with the birthday of Nurse Florence Nightingale) the Times ran a story by Dr. W. A. Coghlin relating the early history of medical services in Trail.

“Prior to 1910, very little authentic history can be learned of medical attention being given in other than a haphazard manner. Rossland was at the tail-end of the gold mining boom that had struck her in the late 1800s. The Sisters’ hospital (Mater Misericordia) had been erected during that period and those seriously ill were no doubt taken to Rossland

or put on the stern wheeler that plied on the river from Arrowhead to Northport – and taken to the latter place for treatment.

“The first record of a doctor being stationed in Trail was in the early 1900s when Dr. Hayes’ name has been mentioned. Later, Dr. Corsan moved in with his family and has been given the credit of building a combination residence and hospital which with many changes is now known as the Aldridge, the present home of the C.S. Williams Clinic.

“The building was primarily built as a dwelling, the lower story in spite of its winding stairway, was set apart for attention of the sick. The building however was primarily intended to look after the 500 men who ran the smelter on the hill …

“Across the river was a veritable No Man’s Land. A single log cabin about the opposite Victoria St. was the only sign of human habitation. Most of

the large timber had been cut down, but there still remained a park-like number of trees.

Prior to this a couple of cable ferries had worn themselves out or had broken their cables and had floated southward.

An electric plant had been erected near to the present site of the Columbia Motor machine shop but had a short time previous been shut down, the Smelter had taken on its duties.

The water supply for most of the town came from Gorge Creek, but many had to use water from local springs.”

Dr. Coghlin went on to describe a “thriving colony” at Sayward (Columbia Gardens) irrigated by Beaver Creek with land selling for $500 per acre.

Inhabitants requiring medical attention came to Trail. If a doctor was needed at Sayward, Bill Hartley from the Meekin Hotel “strong-armed it in his boat” or a trip was taken down the river road in a conveyance pulled by a single horse “and

not too heavy to prevent it being lifted over obstructing logs by the doctor and the driver.”

Dr. Corsan’s practice and building was taken over by Dr. Paterson who built a brick residence with an adjoining onestory hospital now known as the Park Hotel.

In 1908, Dr. Paterson was relieved of his practice by Dr. Thom who was joined two years later by Dr. Coghlin.

(Thom Street in East Trail is named for this doctor.)

As the town was growing, a Dr. Shewan started another hospital in the building that now occupied the Delux grocery store (corner of Cedar and Spokane).

In 1922, C.S. Williams clinic was formed which was the mainstay of healthcare until the hospital opened in 1926.

The $120,000 building was extended in 1931. By 1948, Trail had a population of 15,000 and the clinic increased from four members to 15.

Federal budget a missed opportunity, says MP SHERI REGNIER Trail Times

Much of the money promised in the Liberals’ federal budget is really just window dressing, according Richard Cannings, NDP MP for the South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding.

While he concedes some headway has been made, such as funds earmarked for senior’s affordable housing, the budget made few inroads in helping those living in rural B.C. He points to the lack of broadband Internet outside larger centres, as an example.

“After promising to invest $500 million right up front for rural broadband services, the budget only gave $6 million,” Cannings told the Trail Times.

“The $500 million is there, but it’s back loaded mainly to the fourth and fifth years, after the next election,” he began.

“That’s a recurring theme throughout the budget, a lot of these funding programs are over five, some over 10, years and the big part of the money

Richard Cannings, NDP MP for the South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding says the federal budget is a missed opportunity. is to be spent after the next election - and it’s that way with broadband.”

The subject hits home with Cannings because he says many young couples seeking life outside of urban settings are often employed in the high tech industry, so broadband accessibility is key in attracting newcomers to the region.

“My neighbours are a young

couple from the coast who just moved to Penticton,” he said.

“He builds apps for smartphones, and can do that because we do have broadband there. But if he went 20 miles further, he wouldn’t be able to, so this certainly affects the riding and big parts of B.C.” Overall, the budget represents missed opportunities for the South Okanagan-West Kootenay, Cannings said.

“They didn’t mention anything about Canada Post,” he explained. “Right now they’ve put a moratorium on cutting back door-to-door service and as far as I know there hasn’t been cuts in any of the region yet. But still, there is nothing in there than mentions what they are going to do about this in the future.”

Money allocated for health care and for the senior sector in general is also absent, he continued.

“There’s no mention in the budget of additional funds for health care of any sort,” Cannings said. “And no mention of homecare in particular,

after promising $3 billion over the next four years to keep seniors in their homes, instead of institutions.”

He acknowledged a GIS (Guaranteed Income Supplement) increase for single seniors is somewhat beneficial, but maintains $3.4 billion used to feed the program over five years is a short sighted move.

“Sure if you are a senior living in poverty, you’ll get (up to) an extra $947 a year, that’s if you qualify,” Cannings said.

“We think that’s nice but it’s not going to lift any senior out of poverty.”

Cannings conceded a bump in federal funding for seniors’ affordable housing is welcome news in his constituency, but he also questions its efficacy.

“A group in Slocan, for instance, is trying to get a senior’s housing project built and hopefully we can access money there, so that’s a good thing,” he said. “But a much bigger pot of money is for affordable housing (in general) that CONTINUED ON A6

New bridge fits into downtown plan CONTINUED FROM A1 design should be finalized in about a month, but the work isn’t scheduled until November.

The location upstream from the Old Trail Bridge was selected partly to keep proximity to the existing sewer force main and add ease to relocating a new regional sewer interceptor line from the closed structure to the new build.

The galvanized suspension walking bridge fits well with the city’s future development along the Esplanade.

It also reconnects the

popular walking loop that’s been missed by locals since an inspection revealed significant deterioration of the pilings supporting the 100-year-old structure, leading to its permanent closure in 2010.

The crossing, which will also house a new regional sewer line, would not have been possible

without regional partnership between Trail, Rossland and Warfield.

Though the foot bridge is reserved for pedestrians and cyclists, the bridge deck will feature removable posts that will open up access to an emergency vehicle should the Victoria Street Bridge temporary close to traffic.

The city will purchase a quad that will be housed at the regional fire hall, ready to respond if necessary.

For Proulx, overseeing the nearly $15-million project has been a perfect way to wrap up his career.

“Suspension bridges don’t get built very often; I’m pretty excited

about the whole thing,” he said.

“I’ve been involved in stuff with the city for a long time, and it doesn’t matter what you do there will be people who complain about it through different medias,” he added.

“This project, surprisingly, there’s been nothing.”

Long overdue upgrades to our Village office include the installation of a digital bulletin board in the lobby area saving us printing costs and enabling the Village to highlight current events and celebrate community achievements.

One such achievement is the earning of two gold medals at the 2016 BC Winter Games on February 25-27 in the para-nordic events of 5km and the 400 meter sprint by Salmo Secondary students Haley Olinyk and Mikayla Richens. Congratulations!

DYER

(where they are mostly of South Asian origin) generate fewer Islamist extremists than the francophone countries, and face fewer terrorist attacks.

France’s and Belgium’s Muslim citizens are also less integrated into the wider community. French housing policy has dumped most of the immigrants in high-rise, low-income developments at the edge of the cities, often beyond the end of the metro lines. Unemployed, poorly educated and culturally isolated, their young men are more easily recruited into extremist groups.

The point of this sort of analysis is to cut the problem down to size. There is no terrorist army in Belgium, just a bunch of young men making it up as they go along. For example, the Brussells attacks happened four days after the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, the sole survivor of the gang who carried out the attacks on the Bataclan arena and the Stade de France in Paris last November.

Back in Brussels after failing to use his suicide vest in the Paris attack, Abdeslam was a psychological wreck, and his Islamist colleagues undoubtedly expected that once in police custody he would sing like a canary. So they decided to launch another attack and go to glory before the police kicked in their doors.

Prime Minister Charles Michel issued the usual ritual incantation about Belgians being “determined to defend our freedom,” but Belgium’s freedom is not at risk. Terrorists are not an existential threat. They are a lethal nuisance, but no more than a nuisance.

Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

National strategy on dementia needed An editorial from the Toronto Star It helps to work together to confront a grave threat, especially the mounting devastation wrought by dementia. The number of Canadians living with Alzheimer’s disease and other degenerative brain conditions is expected to hit 1.4 million over the next 15 years -- almost the double the number diagnosed in 2011. And this country is far from ready to cope.

That’s why it’s encouraging to see a cross-party effort underway to establish a comprehensive national strategy for dealing with dementia.

It would set out specific national objectives for addressing the looming crisis, including quality of care standards, identification of best medical treatments, attracting research investment, and marshalling cooperation from provinces and other groups to meet this deadly challenge.

In a notable display of welcome bi-partisanship, the national dementia strategy is being sought through a private member’s bill introduced by Niagara Falls Conservative MP Rob Nicholson and seconded by Don Valley West Liberal MP Rob Oliphant.

Moreover, Nicholson also made a point of acknowledging past efforts by former NDP MP Claude Gravelle, of Nickel Belt.

“There is probably no family in the country that can say it has not in some way been hurt by these particular diseases,” Nicholson said, and that includes his own. His father was stricken

by Alzheimer’s before dying in 1997.

“I am, in many ways, no different than millions of other Canadians who are either related to or know somebody that has (Alzheimer’s),” Nicholson told the Canadian Press. “This is not a partisan thing.”

For his part, Oliphant said he has long dealt with families

struggling with dementia during his 25 years as a United Church minister.

A national strategy would make life better for the hundreds of thousands of Canadians already living with dementia by setting out improved standards of care and listing clear, evidencebased treatments. By advancing support initiatives, it could also ease the strain on families and other caregivers.

The best way to get there is through a unified approach.

Nicholson’s commendable effort warrants all-party support.

Private members’ bills rarely become law, but this one deserves to be among the exceptions.

“If they really wanted to stimulate the economy and get jobs going that would be one of the best ways,” Cannings concluded. “So again, we just think this budget is a missed opportunity.”

Spring fishing has been fun. Although, after enjoying a nice month of February weather, we are now paying for it in March.

During the warm spells, we have been spending a lot of time on the rivers already.

Some great days catching rainbows on the Columbia, and some fantastic days catching giant bull trout on the Kootenay River.

Hoping for some consistent weather in the next couple of weeks to allow us to continue our efforts on the rivers.

The weather doesn’t really bother us on the big lake. The heated cabin of our lake boats allows for us to fish in all weather. So we haven’t slowed down.

Plenty of tourist traffic at this time of year to keep things going. And our skiers have been enjoying a day to rest their legs and enjoy a day on

the boat.

So here are the latest reports.

Kootenay Lake: We have had some hot and cold days on the lake.

The fish are still feeding pretty actively, but only on certain days. Now, if we could figure out what days they are, we would be laughing. We’ve had some days with 10 to 15 fish coming to the boat.

And we’ve had some slower days mixed in.

The feeding seems to be consistent, as long as the weather is consistent. And lately, the weather doesn’t know what to do. So, we’ll just keep putting in our time and enjoy the outings.

Mostly rainbows between two and four pounds have been caught lately, although I did hear a report of a giant rainbow caught at the south end of lake this week. Also lately we have been catching bull trout between two and ten pounds.

The water temperature has warmed a bit, so hopefully the fish will become more active as we get into our warmer weather. Still, it’s always better than

sitting on he couch.

Columbia River: The river has been producing well for us.

Lots of days with 10 to 20 rainbows taking our offering. The water levels have remained very low, which has provided some great seams for fly fishing. If the water stays this low and the weather warms up soon, we will begin to see more and more hatches and the fly fishing should remain amazing.

In some of the deep-

Quinnipiac hoists elusive Whitelaw Cup Times Sports Editor

The Quinnipiac Bobcats won their first ECAC title on Saturday winning the Whitelaw Cup with a 4-1 win over Harvard.

Despite having one of the top teams in the nation for the last five years, the Bobcats

had never won the title, but thanks to major contributions from Greater Trail players, Quinnipiac was able to pull it off this year.

“We won a Whitelaw Cup, we’re excited about it, we’ve got a great group of guys,” said Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold. “Yeah, we wanted to win this, but if you think about

people saying [the lack of a Whitelaw Cup] is a knock on our program, I think that’s just negativity from the media.”

Tim Clifton, Bo Pieper and K.J. Tiefenwerth sent the Bobcats to a 3-0 lead eight minutes into the second period, and Michael Garteig stopped 24 shots on the way to the 4-1 victory. Former Trail Smoke

Eater captain Scott Davidson scored into an empty net to ice it, with another Trail product, Travis St. Denis, assisting on the play.

“It’s huge,” said Quinnipiac senior captain Soren Jonzzon.

CONTINUED FROM A7 pounds, but we have managed to hook a few in the five to seven pound range. Still expecting some even bigger fish in this next month as they begin to feed more and more.

Duncan Lake: My favourite time of year on Duncan is right now. A nice change of scenery from Kootenay, and a nice change in fishing. We have been catching bull trout between five and eight pounds regularly. Healthy looking fish at this time of year.

What are they biting on?

Kootenay Lake has been producing fish in the usual ways. Most of our rainbows have been caught on the surface. Bucktail flies, apexes, and small spoons have been the ticket.

There hasn’t been one consistent pattern of late, but it does seem that anything with pink in it appears to be working. Lucky flies have been No. 203, 207, 210.

We have also been catching a few bull trout down deep. Mostly on

Lyman plugs or flasher/hoochie combos. Lucky depths have been 100 to 160 feet.

On the river, we have been catching lots of rainbows on the fly rod.

Streamer patterns have been working great. Although there have been a couple magical days when a tiny hatch has brought the fish to the surface.

A few fish have been taken on the dry fly lately. Midges have made for some exciting takes.

Also float fishing or bottom fishing with bait has provided us with some fat fish at this time of year. Looking forward to the next month.

And finally, on Duncan Lake it’s been the usual bull trout gear. For me it’s been Lyman, Lyman, Lyman. But for others it’s been flashers/hoochies, or apexes, or plugs. They seem to be everywhere. You just need to find the right depth.

Hope this helps with your next adventure. Tight lines …
