Rossland group seeks to improve bike commute to Trail JOHN BOIVIN Rossland News

It might save some greenhouse gas emissions, and maybe even some lives.

Rossland’s Sustainability Commission wants to build a route for commuters to cycle to work from Rossland to

Trail.

“We are already a keen biking community and with the advent of these amazing electric bikes, what used to be a challenging ride up from Trail is quite easy,” says Ann Damude, the outgoing co-ordinator of the commission.

“So we’re looking at developing a trail that would be e-bike and cyclist-friendly, that would allow people to commute without actually risking being on the highway.”

The trail would use the existing Wagon Road trail,

and go from Rossland to Warfield, the limit of the Sustainability Commission’s jurisdiction. From there riders can follow back streets for the rest of the trip to downtown Trail.

Damude says making the Wagon Road trail more ac-

cessible could have a significant impact on the carbon footprint Rossland produces.

“Some studies have estimated that 600 people a day leave Rossland to work in the valley — not including the Greater Trail area, like comContinued on A2

The Trail and Greater District Detachment continues to crack down on people driving under influence.

Last week, a pair of road safety check stops took three more drivers off the road. That adds to the total of over a dozen drivers nabbed in the last couple of months.

On Friday, June 21, a check stop was conducted on Redstone Drive in Rossland.

The RCMP checked numerous vehicles and a 48-year-old driver was issued a three-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition and a 41-yearold male driver was issued a 24-hour Driving Suspension.

Both drivers were allegedly found to be under the influence of alcohol while operating a motor vehicle and failed a roadside screening device breath test administered by RCMP officers.

The police turned their attention to Trail the following night, June 22, and a check stop on Second Avenue at Gyro Park.

A 29-year-old female driver was allegedly found to be under the influence of alcohol while operating a motor vehicle and failed a roadside screening device breath test administered by the officer. The female driver was issued a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition and had her vehicle impounded for 30 days.

Sgt. Mike Wicentowich said the Trail and Greater District Detachment will continue its enhanced campaign against impaired driving throughout the summer. **** Over the weekend (June 21-23), the RCMP received multiple complaints about public intoxication and consensual fights between people under the influence of alcohol.

Wicentowich said in his press release that as summer begins, the RCMP typically respond to an increased number of these types of incidents. Anyone who is intoxicated in public and/or is yelling, screaming, swearing, fighting in a public place while under the influence of alcohol could potentially be charged with a range of offences from public intoxication to causing a disturbance.

Survey showed cyclists prefer Wagon Road for commute to Trail Continued from A1 muting to Castlegar or Nelson,” says Damude.

There are actually two good routes heading into Trail from Rossland, but Damude says a survey done with interested cyclists found they preferred the

rougher Wagon Road route be developed.

“We were surprised, but they said the Wagon Road is the most direct route, and they want to get to work and home, not have a leisurely ride through the forest.

ter shape, and more easily rideable, it’s the Wagon Road people are choosing to ride, especially with electric bikes. It’s a little steeper and rockier, but e-bikes handle that type of terrain quite well.

“Many could be commuting on the trail now, but it’s just not a pleasant experience,” she says. “It’s a little overgrown, a little rooty and rocky, but really nothing stopping anyone with an electric bike from riding the trail.”

The commission is now digging deeper into what would make the Wagon Road run a more effective commuter trail. There are many issues, including working with the owners of the patchwork of properties the trail crosses; deciding what improvements might work the most, like signage and trail building; and dealing with the fact the trail doesn’t

To tackle these issues and more, the commission’s looking for grant money, and approached city council recently for support.

She says it’s a sign there’s a real desire to see something like this happen.

“The City of Rossland isn’t the only jurisdiction looking at the whole ‘commuter trail’ concept. It is very cool, being out talking to people now, because it is showing up on every municipality’s radar screen. So if we do our little section that gets us to Warfield, we’ll see some good partnerships coming out from other municipalities, the regional districts, tourism organizations, etc.

But Damude recognizes it’s more than just the physical trail that needs to be built. An infrastructure of “behavioural supports” also have to be established.

day and I don’t want to ride back up the hill, what do I do?

“Once my bike is down in Trail, where can I park it or store it securely? How does my employer feel about me showing up at work in my riding gear? Is there change space?

“We call them “behavioural barriers,’ and part of the planning project is not only adjusting the physical barrier, but other barriers as well.”

With support and funding, Damude says the commission hopes to address some of these behavioural issues by the fall. They could begin tackling the physical issues on the trail by next summer.

Damude’s confident they have the support to get Rosslanders to make the shift to a healthy commute.

Nakusp dips into gas tax fund to fix arena JOHN BOIVIN Arrow Lakes News

Fixing the Nakusp arena’s cooling system has cost the village a pretty penny.

Council heard recently it’s going to take an extra $50,000 to repair the arena’s cooling system, nearly 50 per cent more than originally budgeted.

“We were a caught a little off guard by this one,” says Mayor Tom Zeleznik.

Problems with the compressors first brought the electricians in to check the system, says Zeleznik.

However, workers soon found a host of problems, from poorly installed “soft starters” for the system, to worn bearings to unmapped electrical schematics.

“They found it was more an electrical problem causing the compressors to fail,” says Zeleznik. “They normally have a 15-to20 year lifespan, but for us they were only

lasting three to eight years.

“But now they found the reason, so hopefully we will get longer use out of them.”

But making the fix was expensive. The repairs as budgeted were $96,508. The additional work cost $48,311, bringing the total for the project to $144,819.

But the village caught a break: this year it received a one-time boost to its community works reserve, or gas tax grant, from the federal government.

The village had more than $180,000 in the fund it could access.

Having dodged a big budget bullet, Zeleznik says it’s time for the community to talk about the arena and how to make better use of it.

“It’s something you call a big elephant,” he says. “It would be good to sit down with the community, with the regional district, and talk about ways to

The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) wants the province to give regional districts the power to make land use bylaws that would regulate private land logging.

And it wants the province to require large private forest landholders to register their properties in the province’s Private Managed Forest Program. This would require of owners a degree of land use planning and stream protection that does not otherwise exist for private land logging.

These two requests have been combined in a resolution to the annual conference of the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) in September. UBCM delegates will vote on the resolution, and if it passes, the UBCM will lobby the provincial gov-

ernment for the changes.

The resolution was put forward by Area E director Ramona Faust, who said it is a reaction to private land logging near Cottonwood Lake and Wynndel, as well as areas in the East Kootenay.

“We are looking for some regulatory way to foster better stewardship on private land,” she told the Star.

She said the resolution is intended to apply to large pieces of private land that are prone to being purchased for the purpose of clear-cutting, rather than to smaller parcels.

“We do not want it to be an impediment to people doing interface wildfire fuel remediation or home building.”

Faust says the RDCK took a similar motion to the UBCM last year, which passed. She says the UBCM has passed seven similar resolutions since 1992, and in

each case, the government has merely responded by thanking them for their concern.

So this year Faust’s resolution is more specific, and asks for legislation that would give regional governments new powers to regulate some aspects of private land logging “to mitigate the impact of private land large scale timber harvesting on fish habitat, public safety and local government infrastructure.”

“If the province is not going to step up, then I guess we will have to,” she said.

Faust admitted this is a sensitive issue for private landowners.

“It is a touchy issue,” she said, “but when your property touches other private property or community infrastructure, we have a responsibility to work together, and plan accordingly.”

Drowning in a sea of disposable plastic

O

n days when I need to grab lunch on the fly, it usually involves a walk to a nearby grocery store.

While convenient and fairly economical, buying a sandwich and a bit of fresh fruit to tide me over often leaves me feeling like no friend to the environment.

Last Thursday’s midday meal was a case in point, including two plastic clam-shell containers – for the aforementioned sandwich and fruit – and a plastic bag of baby carrots.

Once empty, the containers went into the recycling bin and from there, well, who really knows?

I trust they will be re-purposed into something useful and not end up in a landfill – or worse.

But with less than 10 per cent of single-use plastics being recycled at the moment in Canada my responsibly recycled (though still wasteful) lunch containers represent only a small drop in a large – and badly polluted – ocean.

In fact, with the recent marking of Oceans Week we learned that more

BRENDA

ANDERSON Off Topic

than eight million tonnes of plastic waste is being dumped into the ol’ salt chuck every year.

Much of it has simply been carelessly discarded. Even placed in the garbage, light plastics can be blown out of a landfill and into nearby creeks and rivers, eventually making their way to the sea.

Also during Oceans Week the prime

minister indicated Canada will announce the elimination of single-use plastics – shopping bags, straws, stir sticks and the like – as early as 2021.

These are some of the items most likely to end up floating in garbage islands or be cut out of the bellies of dead marine mammals.

Some have already dismissed the announcement as a meaningless gesture. Within the larger context of our planet, where a handful of developing countries have been singled out as the worst offenders, that sense of futility is understandable.

But it doesn’t mean that 37 million people can’t make some difference. At the moment, Canadians are reportedly tossing away three million tons of plastic annually and one third of plastics used here are single-use items, including 15 million plastic bags and 50 million straws per day. (I got a lot of email during Oceans Week).

A ban seems to me like a good place to start. In theory, at least.

It’s the execution that concerns me.

Ditching drinking straws, party balloons and water bottles is an obvious

first step. Opting for the more environmentally friendly option whenever possible – also doable.

Other solutions are less easy to execute.

One Oceans Week release advised, among other steps, choosing not to purchase items that come wrapped in plastic. I’m still trying to decide if the person who wrote it has ever stepped inside a grocery store.

In addition to pre-made sandwiches and melon chunks, pretty much everything we eat, from soup to nuts, comes wrapped in some form of plastic.

With what I think can be accurately described as humanity’s addiction to plastic, can we manage to put the genie back in the (disposable) bottle?

Possibly. But not without serious effort, including major incentives for both producers and consumers, and a level of personal and political will the world has not yet seen.

None of this means we shouldn’t try, but for now, at least, it’s far from in the bag.

Comments to ‘just let go’ of traumatic past are unhelpful and insensitive Dear Annie: I endured a very traumatic childhood. I was verbally abused. I was physically abused. I was sexually abused and raped.

I’m writing because I want to know the best way to respond to ignorant and insensitive remarks about my childhood. I have been told, “just leave it in the past”; “focus on the positive”; “it’s all a mindset”; “forgive and forget”; and “just let it go.”

I don’t feel angry at these people for their remarks.

I know they are trying to help and that they just don’t understand.

SPOKANE AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL LEAGUE

West Kootenay ‘A’ Orioles sweep Mount Spokane JIM BAILEY Trail Times

The West Kootenay ‘A’ Orioles continue to roll through the Spokane American Legion Baseball (SALB) competition.

The ‘A’ Orioles swept Mount Spokane Saturday, with pitcher Marshall Debruyn throwing a no hitter in a 7-0 shutout in the first game of a doubleheader, followed by a 4-0 shutout tossed by Jake Maniago in Game 2.

The Orioles jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back, scoring two more in the third, fourth and fifth innings for a seven-run lead. Connor Stainer went 2-for-4 with two RBIs, as nine West Kootenay batters had at least one hit with Darren Issel scoring two runs and driving

in one.

Debruyn went seven strong innings, fanning seven and walking just one batter for his first no-hitter of the season.

The no-hitter was the second this campaign for West Kootenay, as Maniago earned his no-hitter on the first day of the season in a 14-0 drubbing of Gonzaga.

Maniago had his magic working again on Saturday, allowing just one hit over six innings, striking out four and walking one as the ‘A’ Orioles manufactured four runs off of just three hits for a 4-0 victory.

The Mt. Spokane pitchers gave up eight walks, however, and the O’s capitalized scoring twice in the second and adding runs three and four in the top of the fifth and sixth innings.

Stainer went 1-for-2 in-

cluding a triple and two runs scored, while Debruyn and Jesco Knelson had the other hits for the Orioles.

The West Kootenay ‘A’ Orioles currently hold down first place in the Spokane American Legion League with a 9-1 record heading into their final six games of the season.

The ‘A’ Orioles don’t have any American Legion games scheduled this weekend, but they won’t be idle. The team is travelling to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho to play in their annual invitational tournament.

West Kootenay returns to SALB action on July 5, when the O’s take on second-place Newport ‘A’ (9-2) in a doubleheader, then play another twinbill against the third-place, 6-2, Prairie Cardinals in Post Falls on July 6.

After finishing his university career at Michigan Tech with a team leading 11 goals and 26 points, the former Trail Smoke Eater was signed to an entry-level contract by the Penguins on Mar. 11. Lucchini finished the season with Pittsburgh’s American Hockey League affiliate Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins where he collected six goals and seven points

in 15 games.

The 21-year-old Armour, meanwhile, played his first season of NCAA Div. 1 hockey at Bemidji State University in Minnesota where he led all freshmen players with 12 assists and was named WCHA Player of the Week on Dec. 17 and Jan. 21. Armour played three seasons with the Smoke Eaters accumulating 45 goals, 93 assists and 138 points in 139 regular season games.

The Hockey Writers featured Lucchini as one of the “5 Penguins to Watch at Development Camp,” saying; “Lucchini is one of the oldest development camp invitees at 24 years old, which also means he’s one of the most experienced.

The 5-foot-11 forward totaled 45 goals and 104 points in his collegiate career and was the team’s captain as a senior. With his

offensive potential, could he be another undrafted college free agent success story like Penguins winger Zach Aston-Reese?”

Two former Smoke Eaters, Kale Howarth and Seth Barton, will also compete in the NHL development camps. Howarth, 22, was a 2017 Columbus Blue Jackets’ fifth round draft pick and participated in the past Blue Jackets camp, while Barton went 81st overall in the 2018 draft, selected by the Detroit Red Wings. The 20-yearold defenceman also participated in the Wings development camp last year and is back again this year.

Howarth completed his first year at University of Connecticut where he scored five goals and 11 points, while Barton completed his freshman year at UMass-Lowell with two goals and 10 points

The camps combine the NHL teams top prospects, including all the 2019 draft picks and some past drafted players, as well as highly-touted yet undrafted professional, Junior, and University players.

Neither Armour and Lucchini were drafted but have played their way onto the respective radar of the NHL clubs.

The development camps put the players through two days of practices and feature a variety of off-ice presentations and activities focused on helping players transition to becoming a professional athlete. On the final day, camps divide the players into four teams that compete in a highly entertaining and competitive 3-on3 tournament.

Follow the players at their respective NHL websites, with the final day’s 3-on-3 games live streamed.

Finals set for Trail Youth Baseball Trail Youth Baseball League will showcase its Jr. league finals on Thursday at Butler Park. In Tuesday’s quarter-final match, The Trail Mariners trailed the Nelson Jr. Dodgers 8-7, but Mariners pitcher Ally Schroder shut down the Nelson Jr. Dodgers through the final three innings, and Steven Ross belted a two-run walk-off double in the final inning to give the Mariners a thrilling 9-8 victory. The M’s were right back on the field to play the semifinal against the league-leading Trail Red Sox. However, this time the Mariners couldn’t come back, with the Sox winning the game 8-3. The Red Sox now face the Trail Blue Jays who beat the Castlegar Badgers 12-4 in the other semifinal. The TYBL final goes on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at Butler.

Luongo retires after 19 NHL seasons THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SUNRISE, Fla. Florida goalie Roberto Luongo has decided to retire after 19 seasons.

The 40-year-old Luongo made the announcement Wednesday on his Twitter account. His 489 career victories are third in NHL history behind only Martin Brodeur and Patrick Roy, and Brodeur is the only goalie to have appeared in more games or made more saves than Luongo.

He was the fourth overall pick in the 1997 draft by the New York Islanders, with whom he made his NHL debut on Nov. 28, 1999.

The Montreal native

then spent five years with Florida, the next eight with Vancouver and returned to the Panthers on March 14, 2014.

“This is one of the toughest decisions I’ve faced in my life and it took me a long time to make it,” Luongo wrote in an open letter to fans. “After thinking about it a lot over the past two months and listening to my body, I made up my mind. It just feels like the right time for me to step away from the game. I love the game so much, but the commitment I required to prepare, to keep my body ready, has become overwhelming.”

Luongo had been

slowed by hip problems in recent years, and the off-ice work just to make it through practices and games took a toll.

“From the moment I was fortunate enough to share a locker room with him, Roberto has exemplified leadership for me,” Panthers forward Vincent Trocheck said in a statement distributed by the Panthers. “There isn’t a classier, more professional guy in this league. He’s a great hockey player and somehow an even better person.”

The Panthers were prepared for the likelihood that Luongo may step away. Panthers general manager Dale

TALKING ABOUT CANNABIS CAN GO MANY WAYS PRACTICEKIDS.CA

Tallon said last week that Luongo’s career had been “illustrious” and that the franchise was giving its most beloved player all the time he needed to make his decision.

“The impact that he has had on the developing core of our team, its culture and our community are undeniable,” Tallon said. “He has always approached everything with a determination and level of class that was second to none. He leaves not only a legacy in South Florida, but a legacy in the game itself.”

Florida hired Joel Quenneville as coach earlier this off-season, and is believed to be a frontrunner to sign top free agent goalie Sergei Bobrovsky along with Artemi Panerin - both of whom were in South Florida earlier this week to meet with the Panthers in advance of the signing period that starts Monday.

Bobrovsky was a top priority for Florida even before Luongo let the team know that he was retiring.

“We play the game to win the Stanley Cup, to give ourselves a chance,” Luongo said.

“It’s hard because I think that this team is right there, close to taking the next step. I wanted nothing more than to be a part of that. With Coach Q coming in, it’s an exciting time for the Florida Panthers.”
