City considers removing historical dam
GOING POST TO POST
BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
It has been almost 20 years since Trail has drawn water for municipal use from an open water source known as the Cambridge reservoir in the area of Violin Lake. Now, the city is investigating measures to decommission the Cambridge Dam, a barrier to water drawn from Violin Lake and stored in the reservoir, historically known as the mill pond. “The dam is in good shape and kept up to specifications,” said Warren Proulx, Trail’s working foreman and engineering technician. “But we want to eliminate this responsibility because it no longer has value to the city.” In 1994 Trail established the Columbia River as the city’s main water supply source and built modernized water treatment facilities, in part due to the 1990 community outbreak of giardiasis (beaver fever) a parasitic gastrointestinal infection traced to inadequately treated drinking water pulled from the reservoir. After the treatment plant using the Columbia River was completed, the city decided to maintain the infrastructure of the Cambridge Creek/Violin Lake water system as a back up water supply. However, four years later, Trail’s conditional water license was cancelled by the Ministry of Environment (MOE), under the Water Act, because the water system was deemed no longer actively used for domestic water supply purposes. The reservoir is still active as a man-made lake (on private property) and the city is responsible for monitoring the dam. However, in light of increased costs and tightened government regulations to maintain privately owned dams, council has backed the decision to decommission the Cambridge Dam, said Proulx. “There is a cost to inspect and maintain the dam,” he explained. “It would save us time and time is money,” Proulx continued. “And it would release the city of any liability if the dam ever burst.” Since the breach of the privately-owned Testalinden Creek Dam eight kilometres south of Oliver in 2010, which caused enormous debris and mud torrent that impacted homes and agriculture in the area, the ministry has stepped up efforts to monitor B.C. dams to mitigate loss of life and damage to property and the environment in cases of a dam break. According to the MOE, the Cambridge Dam is classified as high consequence, meaning if it ever breached, downstream impacts would be devastating. See AREA, Page 3

Smart meter forum moving to Trail BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
A group of Montrose citizens opposed to wireless smart meters is heading down the hill and holding a public forum in the Trail Memorial Centre gymnasium Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. Eileen Como, Montrose Coun. Mary Gay and Trail resi-
dent Roger Catalano, members of the West Kootenay Coalition to Stop Smart Meters, approached Trail council at the Monday governance meeting to request a rental waiver from the city to support an educational forum about FortisBC’s Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project.
“As a private citizen with no financial budget we want to educate citizens who are not getting the information about this topic and what we are facing,” explained Como. “We want all people living in the Fortis service area to be informed about what is happening.” Earlier this month the
group approached Montrose council to support a town hall meeting, which did happen, however the trio is expecting the public turnout to exceed the 100-seat capacity at the village hall. “Montrose council is in support but we need a bigger facility and we would like to See FORUM, Page 3

For example, this is how one would respond to partner’s opening bid of two spades for each of the three hands listed above. You would raise to game with hand A (15+3), pass with B (14+3 =17 but very quackish) and raise to 3 as a further preempt with C.

CiB judges’ recommendations shared with council By Sheri Regnier Times Staff
Trail definitely has a European feel, but should elevate the uniqueness of the historical covered staircases and promote local culture, according to a blooming judge. Dan Rodlie, Trail Communities in Bloom (CiB) chair presented the lengthy evaluation form to council Monday night, and discussed the highs and lows of how the city presented during the judges visit in July for the international CiB competition. Trail did maintain its five-bloom rating, which is essentially the maximum amount of points, and upped the overall mark to 85.1 per cent in the category of population under 10,000. Rodlie conferred with one of this year’s judges, Belgium’s Alain Cappelle, earlier in the day to review the Silver City’s score and referred to those comments during the meeting. The judges acknow-
ledged the Avenue of the Clans along the Gyro Park walkway, a project that highlighted Trail’s Scottish heritage, and the musical heritage of the Trail Maple Leaf Band and Pipe Band, two of the oldest bands in Canada, both whom performed during their stay. The covered staircases throughout the city impressed both Capelle, and fellow judge England’s Bob Ivison, and they recommend the city preserve, well maintain and if possible extend the network to link more of Trail’s natural assets, thereby increasing recreational and health benefits. Although Trail did receive special recognition for heritage conservation, the city lost points in tidiness, specifically related to the Rossland Avenue corridor, explained Rodlie. “Also, there are untidy hot spots specifically where people congregate,” he said, adding, “but we have put them on our hit

invited and there will be time for questions and answers after the presentation,” she said. Council did waive fees for use of the gym ($500), but not before clarification about Como’s request for a “city sanctioned forum.” If the city were to sanction the event, it would suggest official approval and/or ratification of information that the group is presenting to the public, explained David
Perehudoff, Trail’s chief administrative officer. “In this respect the city would have a responsibility to review all the information to ensure it is valid and factually correct,” he continued, adding, “the rental waiver is approved and the group is operating independently from the city as far as their dissemination of information is concerned and any potential repercussions that may flow as a result.”

The judges did acknowledge the transformation Trail has made in the last two decades, citing, “from industrial boom to colourful bloom,” however, they recommended the city move forward in collaboration with Teck’s expertise on greenery and environmental sustainability. “Join with Teck for promotion of sound ecological plant choices and natural scheme designs,” cites the judge’s report. “Including the garden and the greenery at the high school,” said Rodlie. “We need to use that to our advantage because we are a little behind in that area.” Further recommendations include an increase in the proportion of xeriscapes (garden or landscape created in a style that requires little or no irrigation or other maintenance) in the city and use of drought tolerant species in future projects.

OTTAWA – After three terms in office, NDP MP Alex Atamanenko has announced that he will not be running in the next election. “I’ve been proud to serve the people of BC Southern Interior,” said Atamanenko. “As I look ahead to retirement in two years, I’d like to thank my constituents for electing me to represent their interests in Ottawa. “ Atamanenko has served the people of BC Southern Interior since his election in 2006. In that time, he has held several critic portfolios, including Food Security, Rural Affairs, and Agriculture. “I’d like to thank Alex for his contributions to our caucus and our movement,” said NDP Leader Tom Mulcair. “He has been a great representative for BC Southern Interior.” The next election is expected in 2015.
list and will get them looked after, especially the stairs.” The visiting judges attended the Trail Market in downtown Trail, and mentioned to Rodlie that there is a lack of recycling bins in the city, in particular a designated receptacle for newspaper, and a separate bin for pop cans. “He asked me where to put the newspaper he was holding in his hand that day,” said Rodlie. “But there was nowhere to put it and these were the things they looked at.” Another glaring miss, according to the judge, was the absence of information about tourism in Trail, especially related to a certain garden tour. “He said Trail was accepted to be on the Via Rail garden route across Canada this year,” said Rodlie. “But there was no information, nothing presented in our local area. Not promoting that was a minus for us.”

natural state.” Once an engineering plan and costs for decommissioning the dam are determined, the project will be submitted to council for consideration in the 2014 capital budget. Since the 1920’s the area around Cambridge
Creek and Violin Lake was the primary source of water to half of the city’s annual water demand. At that time, the city purchased the lands, and over the decades, built infrastructure to draw water from creeks, lakes and res-
ervoirs in that area. Included was an intake on Cambridge Creek, with a pipeline to reservoirs and a chlorination plant, with the city maintaining water licences for diversion use and storage of the water in the area.

Provincial Penticton
Boonstock music festival headed to Okanagan in 2014 By Kristi Patton
Penticton Western News
Boonstock, Western Canada’s biggest music festival, has announced they are moving to Penticton this summer. “Our team thought Penticton and the South Okanagan valley are the place we would like to have our long-term home,” said Colin Kobza, Boonstock producer and president. “The Penticton Indian Band Chief and Council and families involved have been great to work with and we are excited to be moving to this region.” The festival, which welcomed more than 65,000 people last June to Gibbons, Alta., will be hosted on land owned by the Penticton Indian Band, adjacent to Skaha Meadows. Dates for next year’s festival are Aug. 1 to 3. A traditionally rock heavy show with electronic dance music, brought 40 bands and 40 DJ’s to entertain crowds in 2013. Kobza said the Penticton festival would be scaled back with a focus on rock, indie-rock, reggae and electronic dance music. He added powering up the concert will not be an issue as they rely on generators and they did lease the PIB side of Skaha beach with plans to host some events there. Announcements on the 2014 lineup for Penticton have not yet been made. “I think we are going to have a bit of genre change. We are going to try and cover a lot of the genre’s other than country, which is a huge market out here but for Boonstock we are going to focus
on those other genres. We are in negotiations with a lot of artists but we haven’t signed a deal yet with anyone,” said Kobza. In September Boonstock, usually held on the Canada day weekend, was told by Sturgeon County Council they could no longer host the festival on the property owned by the event producer. This was due to complaints over traffic, crime and garbage. Kobza said he tripled spending on security in the past two years, paying $75,000 last summer. He said it was definitely disappointing when he found out the festival could not go on there. “I think they made the wrong decision, less than one per cent of people at Boonstock did cause a problem. I know the community of Gibbons was definitely not in favour of their decision, but because we were situated in the county they had the say. There is a new leaf and we are a very well prepared festival that is focused a lot on safety and follow the policies and procedures,” said Kobza. “We are not going to let Penticton down that is for sure.” One of the ways he plans to ensure the event is a success is by toning down the size and scale of the event for the first couple of years. “The Boonstock team has been doing this for nine years and we know you can’t just come into Penticton and have a festival of 10 to 15,000 people. I think we need to plan small and hope for big and be careful with our budget, spending and learn the economy here,” said Kobza.

Province ponders selling booze in grocery stores
THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - British Columbians appear to be overwhelmingly in favour of picking up a six-pack of beer or bottle wine at the same neighbourhood grocery store where they buy their bread and milk, says the Liberal government’s liquor policy reform czar John Yap. Yap said Tuesday the Liberals are now seriously weighing changing B.C.’s liquor laws to permit liquor sales at grocery stores. He said up to 80 per cent of the people responding to the government’s on-going liquor policy review put selling alcohol in grocery stores at the top of their wish list. The Liberals have embarked on a review to modernize and update the province’s liquor laws, which were last reviewed in 1999. British Columbians have until Oct. 31 to provide input into the current review,
“British Columbians value convenience and our liquor laws should reflect this changing dynamic” John Yap
which Yap will submit to Justice Minister Suzanne Anton on Nov. 25. “British Columbians value convenience and our liquor laws should reflect this changing dynamic,” Yap said at a Vancouver news conference. “British Columbians have spoken and I want to let them know this I am listening. The idea of selling beer and wine, particularly in grocery stores has been such a popular one that we are going to start exploring which models might
work for B.C.” Yap said Quebec, Nova Scotia and Ontario all have some forms of liquor sales in stores, which B.C. will examine before considering the concept further. He said other liquor policy changes suggested by British Columbians, include allowing craft beer and wine to be sold at farmer’s markets, streamlining the liquor licence application process for special events and allowing children to accompany their parents at liquor establishments such as pubs and legions. A spokesman for B.C.’s private liquor stores said the organization opposes grocery store liquor sales, both on safety and economic grounds. “The model we have now is working extremely well for British Columbians,” said Ian Baillie, Alliance of Beverage Licensees of B.C.
spokesman. “It’s virtually impossible to find a grocery store in this province that is 100 to 200 feet away from a liquor store,” he said. Baillie said British Columbians are wellserved by private and public liquor outlets and an overstocked supply of liquor outlets raises health and business concerns. He said there are currently 1,400 liquor outlets in B.C. Private liquor stores employ 15,000 people, said Baillie. He said the government’s review of expanding liquor sales to grocery stores should go beyond the criteria that “it’s popular.” Yap said the policy review will focus on health and safety concerns, which could involve maintaining a cap on the current number of liquor outlets, but allow liquor operations to set up shop within grocery stores.
Cost of major B.C. earthquake pegged at $75 billion By Jeff Nagel
Surrey North Delta Leader
Damage to southwestern B.C. buildings, roads, pipelines and other critical infrastructure could hit $75 billion in a major earthquake, according to a new study. The 345-page report commissioned by the Insurance Bureau of Canada modelled a 9.0-magnitude subduction zone earthquake well off the west coast of Vancouver Island and Washington State. The strongest ground shaking and damage levels would be on the western side of Vancouver Island closest to the epicentre. But the report projects more overall damage in Victoria due to its many older, vulnerable buildings, as well as in the Lower Mainland from moderate shaking because of the sheer number of buildings and infrastructure at risk. The modeling forecasts a high shaking intensity in areas such as Delta, Richmond and

Victoria, causing extensive damage to unreinforced masonry buildings, including partial collapse. A large area of Surrey, Burnaby, Coquitlam and Vancouver Island would experience the secondhighest level of shaking intensity, significantly damaging poorly built buildings and causing slight to moderate damage to better structures. The report says lowlands with risky soil types could see significant damage from ground liquefaction, causing buildings to settle, tilt or slide. “Liquefaction damage is expected in Delta, Richmond and portions of Burnaby, Surrey, Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge and Abbotsford due to the loose granular sediments, high water table, and long duration ground shaking.” It also cautions ground failure from liquefaction can also have a “great impact” on roads, freeways, bridges and buried pipelines. IBC president Don Forgeron said Canada is unprepared for such a disaster and said the bureau is launching a national conversation on how better to prepare. “If a mega-earthquake should strike in a densely populated area, insurance alone will not pay for all the damage,” he said. “Governments and consumers have a role to play.”

NDP fight continues THE CANADIAN PRESS ST. JOHN’S, N.L. - Newfoundland and Labrador’s NDP leader defended her record Tuesday and vowed to stay on as head of the party after losing two caucus members in a very public fight over her leadership. “I do believe that we as a caucus of three will move forward together,” Lorraine Michael said at the legislature in St. John’s, N.L. Michael said she will meet with the NDP executive to discuss her call Briefs for a leadership review vote at the next party convention planned for October 2014. She said she has no regrets about her own handling of the messy affair and is putting her fate in the hands of the party membership. Such a measure falls short of a leadership convention, called for in an emailed letter signed by all four of her third-party caucus teammates on Oct. 20. A convention would have required Michael to resign, allowing a fresh contest for the top job. A review is a chance for party members to affirm or reject her leadership.

Alberta
Agency in place soon
THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - The Alberta government says its long-promised environmental monitoring agency will be up and running by early in the new year. That’s despite the fact it has no leaders, scientific advisers or permanent funding. Aboriginal groups say they’ve been left out of the process, and legislation to create the agency hasn’t passed yet. Alberta Environment official Ernie Hui (wee) says there’s a lot of work to do. But he says people from industry, academia and the environmental community are already getting involved. Meetings with First Nations in the oilsands area are scheduled and the government expects to transfer up to $15 million a year to run the agency.
Ontario
Cash for candy: dentist THE CANADIAN PRESS GEORGETOWN, Ont. - A dentist in Georgetown, Ont., is fighting off ‘scary’ tooth decay by offering money to trick-ortreaters in exchange for their Halloween candy. Kids can swap their unopened candy with dentist Corey Grossman, who will trade $1 for every pound of candy received on Nov. 1. They will also get toothbrushes, dental floss and dental-care packages in exchange for the sweets. Grossman says there is nothing wrong with indulging in some candy, as long as it’s backed up with proper brushing and flossing. He says the goal of the candy swap is to promote good oral health in the community and he is looking forward to the response. “The parents are excited about it. They think it’s a great idea,” Grossman said. “For the kids the money is a little bit of an inspiration, but they are like ‘do I have to give all my candy?’ They are getting a little bit worried,” he said laughing. All the candy collected will be given to a local shelter along with a cash donation.
Nothing unusual with Tories paying Duffy’s legal bills, says Harper THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - There’s nothing unusual about the Conservative party using taxpayer-subsidized funds to pay Mike Duffy’s legal expenses, Stephen Harper said Tuesday as he parried a fresh barrage of opposition questions about the Senate expense scandal. “The party regularly reimburses members of its caucus for valid legal expenses, as do other parties,” the prime minister told the House of Commons under more withering criticism from NDP Leader Tom Mulcair. Donations to political parties are underwritten by the public purse through generous tax credits. However, the Conservative party’s largesse didn’t extend to all the senators under fire for improper travel or housing allowance claims. Sen. Patrick Brazeau’s office said no offer was made to pay his legal expenses. Terrence O’Sullivan, Sen. Pamela Wallin’s lawyer, said the
same. “Sen. Wallin has received no assistance with her legal fees - whether before or after she recused herself from the caucus - from the Conservative party or anyone associated with the Conservative party,” O’Sullivan said in an email. All three senators are under investigation by the RCMP and are facing a government bid to suspend them, without pay or privileges, from the Senate. The suspension motions were tied in procedural knots Tuesday, making it unlikely they will be voted on before the Conservatives gather Thursday evening for a two-day national convention in Calgary. Duffy disclosed Monday there were two cheques regarding his allegedly improper expenses: one for $13,560 from Conservative party lawyer Arthur Hamilton to cover his legal expenses, plus the well-known $90,000 from
Harper’s former chief of staff, Nigel Wright, to enable him to reimburse the Senate. Harper was grilled repeatedly Tuesday about Duffy’s latest bombshell. But while he condemned the conduct of Wright and Duffy, he shrugged off suggestions that Hamilton did anything wrong. “This individual is not accused of anything,” he said, in response to a question from NDP Leader Tom Mulcair who asked whether the prime minister intends to fire Hamilton. “New Democrats tell us that we should fire or expel people on the flimsiest of allegations without, in some cases, any proof of anything against anybody,” Harper said. “Then when we determine that actions should be taken (against the three senators), the leader of the Opposition stands up and pretends these people are somehow victims of arbitrary actions.”
Premiers tout pipelines ‘benefit’ every Canadian
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - All of Canada will reap the rewards of moving landlocked Canadian oil to coastal ports to allow its sale to international markets, two of the country’s premiers said Tuesday. “Every province, every region, every community, every Canadian will benefit when we’re able to diversify our markets and get full value for the resources that we have,” New Brunswick Premier Dave Alward told a trade conference hosted by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Alward and his Saskatchewan colleague, Brad Wall, urged provinces like Quebec and Ontario against standing in the way of pipeline projects like TransCanada’s proposed Energy East line, which they say would speed Canadian oil to market. Refining and manufacturing industries in both provinces will get a shot in the arm from the pipelines, they asserted. “If we look at it collectively as a country, we’re all going to benefit, but if we get into this situation where we look at one individual item or opportunity and don’t think we’re getting enough out of it, then ultimately none of us are going to gain anything,” Alward told a receptive busi-
ness audience. “We’re all winners, but the two largest winners are actually Ontario and Quebec.” Tr a n s C a n a d a recently delayed until next year its goal of filing an application for the $12-billion Energy East project with the National Energy Board. The company said there’s too much work to be done to file the application before the end of the year. The 4,500-kilometre Energy East pipeline would ship up to 1.1 million barrels per day of Alberta oilsands bitumen to refineries and export terminals in Quebec and New Brunswick.
The proposal involves converting a portion of TransCanada’s underused natural gas mainline to move oil, and to build 1,400 kilometres of new pipeline to Saint John. It’s one of two projects that have been proposed to transport oil out of Western Canada. E n b r i d g e (TSX:ENB) plans to spend $110 million to reverse its Line 9B to carry western crude to meet Quebec’s refining needs. The National Energy Board, which recently held heated hearings into the proposal, is expected to make a decision on the proposal in 2014.

Wall expressed dismay that Canada seems almost “apologetic” about the fact that it’s an energy powerhouse. Canada is third in the world in oil reserves and in the Top 10 in terms of oil production, Wall noted, “but we’re not acting like it.”
“A country with all of this would find ways to move energy to tidewater, to improve the return to Canadians for the resource, to ensure there are jobs for the future for all of us - including First Nations, non-First Nations, for the entire country,” he said.

The dramatic downfall of the NSA
P
oliticians and government officials rarely tell outright lies; the cost of being caught out in a lie is too high. Instead, they make carefully worded statements that seem to address the issue, but avoid the truth. Like, for example, Caitlin Hayden, the White House spokesperson who replied on Oct. 24 to German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s angry protest at the tapping of her mobile phone by the US National Security Agency. “The United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of Chancellor Merkel,” she said. Yes, but has the U.S. been listening to Merkel’s mobile phone calls from 2002 until the day before yesterday? “Beyond that, I’m not in a position to comment publicly on every specific alleged intelligence activity.” By Oct. 27, the argument had moved on. The question now was: did President Barack Obama know the Chancellor’s phone was bugged? (The
German tabloid Bild am Sonntag reported that General Keith Alexander, head of the NSA, told Obama about it in 2010. Obama allegedly said that the surveillance should continue, as “he did not trust her.”) Now it was the turn of the NSA spokesperson, Vanee Vines, to deny the truth. “(General) Alexander did not discuss with President Obama in 2010 an alleged foreign intelligence operation involving German Chancellor Merkel, nor has he ever discussed alleged operations involving Chancellor Merkel,” she said. But she carefully avoided saying that Obama had not been told at all. The ridiculous thing about these meticulously crafted pseudo-denials is that they leave a truthshaped hole for everyone to see. Of course the United States has been listening to Angela Merkel’s phone calls since 2002, and of course Obama knew about it. It would have been quite easy to deny those facts if they

DYER World Affairs
were not true. The NSA is completely out of control. Its German outpost was brazenly located on the fourth floor of the U.S. embassy in Berlin, and leaked documents published by Der Spiegel say that the NSA maintains similar operations in 80 other US embassies and consulates around the world. The Guardian, also relying on documents provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden, reported recently that a total of 35 national leaders have been targeted by the NSA. We know that the German, Brazilian and Mexican leaders were bugged, but it’s almost
certain that the leaders of France, Spain and Italy, Egypt, Israel and Saudi Arabia, and Japan, India and Indonesia were also targeted. Not to mention Russia and China. When the astounding scale and scope of the agency’s operations finally came out, it was bound to create intense pressure on Washington to rein in the NSA. The agency can deflect the domestic pressure, to some extent, by insisting that it’s all being done to keep Americans safe from terrorism, but it can’t persuade the president of South Korea or the prime minister of Bangladesh that she was being bugged because she was a terrorist suspect. The NSA’s worst abuse has been its violation of the privacy of hundreds of millions of private citizens at home and abroad, but it’s the pressure from furious foreign leaders that will finally force the U.S. government to act. “Trust in our ally the U.S.A. has been shattered,” said German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich on
Sunday. “If the Americans have tapped mobile phones in Germany, then they have broken German law on German soil.” This will end up in the German courts, and probably in those of many other countries as well (and Snowden may well end up being granted asylum in Germany). To rebuild its relations with its key allies, the White House is going to have to radically curb the NSA’s powers. Good. We don’t have to listen to the spooks and their allies telling us that since the new communications technologies make total surveillance possible, it is therefore inevitable. “If it can be done, it will be done” is a counsel of despair. Most of the NSA’s everexpanding activities over the past 10 years have served no legitimate purpose, and it’s high time that it was forced to obey both the letter and the spirit of the law.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Alarmists continue to deny reality
What I find most disturbing about Alex Atamanenko’s letter to the editor (“Columnist misrepresents climate change facts”, Trail Times, Oct. 22, 2013) is his unquestioning acceptance of the alarmist message while completely ignoring the 15-year lack of global warming. Would it be unreasonable to expect a competent political leader to question the alarmist narrative not only when global warming stopped, but also when the title of the narrative changed from “global warming” to “climate change”? Maybe our MP relies on
David Suzuki for his climate science. Suzuki’s appearance on Australian TV revealed that he doesn’t know much about climate even though he constantly rails against the use (by others) of hydrocarbon fuels. This beneficiary of climate alarmism fully endorses the computer-generated myth of CO2-induced, runaway, global warming. Not only was Suzuki unaware of the lack of global warming, he was completely oblivious of the four agencies responsible for collecting and publishing global temper-
764 Rossland Ave
ature data used by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Suzuki also repeated his belief that politicians who do not accept the climate alarmist message should be charged with criminal negligence. Will Suzuki demand the same charges be levied against political leaders who have been negligent in determining the truth about climate change? And the truth will prevail, especially since nature refuses to co-operate with the climate alarmists. Thorpe Watson, PhD Warfield

Rescue poor provinces, allow fracking
T
he recent native protests in New Brunswick against proposed hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) are not only devoid of facts but harm the potential for prosperity and lower personal taxes. Residents in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Quebec pay a fortune in provincial taxes relative to Saskatchewan and Alberta, in part because the latter provinces have long allowed their resource economies to flourish. That means their treasuries are not overly dependent on personal taxes. A look at each province’s public accounts illustrates the point. In 2012/13, Nova Scotia’s petroleum revenues (the only resource identified in the public accounts) were worth just $3.5 million to the treasury, or just 0.1 per cent of the $6.8 billion in own-source-revenue. In New Brunswick, resource royalties (including a mineral tax) amounted to $98 million last year, or just 2.1 per cent of the $4.8 billion in own-source revenue. Quebec’s most recent public accounts show $360 million in natural resource revenue, or just 0.6 per cent of its
provincial revenues. In contrast, resource revenues in Alberta amounted to $7.6 billion in 2012/13, or over 20 per cent of the province’s $37.3 billion in own-source revenues; in Saskatchewan, resource revenues were $2.5 billion, accounting for over 23 per cent of the $10.9 billion in provincially-collected revenues. Why does this matter? Because provinces that allow their economy to flourish, in any sector, have more choices on both spending and tax rates. (Saskatchewan’s resource revenue haul is equivalent to 105 per cent of the money brought in by personal income tax, for example.) To make this more vivid, according to the Alberta government a one-income Alberta family with two children and $75,000 in employment income will pay $3,301 in various provincial taxes this year. In Saskatchewan, that family will pay $5,109. But families in New Brunswick and Quebec will ante up more than double the Alberta bill and pay provincial taxes of $7,849 and $7,986 respectively. (Those provinces have higher rates and also some
WEBSITE POLL RESULTS: Do you think senators should be suspended without being charged of a crime? YOU SAID... NO

provincial taxes Albertans do not face.) In Nova Scotia, a oneincome family with two children and $75,000 in earnings pays triple the Alberta family’s provincial tax. The Nova Scotia tax bill? $9,943. The Alberta and Saskatchewan governments can afford to charge taxpayers less in personal taxes because they have resource revenue gushers. Of course, not every province will necessarily garner resource revenues equivalent to 105 per cent of their existing personal income tax take. But surely Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia could reap more resource revenue if they overcame the largely irrational opposition to hydraulic fracturing, which experience has proven is quite safe for people and the planet. Where such opportunities exist, such economic development is one part of an equation for a more prosperous economy.

AN EARTH-FRIENDLY WAY TO SUPPORT SANCTUARY
OBITUARIES ISHERWOOD, ELINOR HOPE — Mom passed away in the early hours of October 26, 2013, just a few days after celebrating her 88th birthday. She was born Elinor Zaharychuck on October 20, 1925 in Winnipeg Manitoba, the daughter of Anne and Andrew. Mom is survived by her two children Andrew and George (Jan), her only brother Andrew Durban (Doreen), grandchildren, great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Mom married Eldon Isherwood on November 25, 1948 and they lived very much in love until dad passed away much too soon at the age of 69 years. She will be greatly missed by her grandchildren Lauren (Nick), Andrew and their mother Roxie, and Angele (Jonathan) and her great-grandchildren Evangeline, Virginia and Mack. Aunt Ellie will always be remembered by her special nieces Sharon and Terry. Mom loved her many friends and took great joy in her regular lunches with Shirley and Pat and her reunions with the MustySteers Joan and Lise. She particularly enjoyed shopping with Scott and Dennis. At mom’s request there will be no service and the family will hold a private celebration of her life at a future date. Mom and the family would ask that in lieu of flowers or condolences you make a donation to a charity of your choice or just be kind to each other. Thanks to all of you who brought joy to her 88 years.

Sea-to-Source paddlers The quest to get Yes inducted complete Columbia River trek ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME
BY CAROLYN GRANT Kimberley Bulletin
With the deadline to renegotiate the Columbia River Treaty fast approaching, a group of environmental advocates from Washington are finishing up a 2,000 kilometre paddle from the mouth of the mighty Columbia River in Astoria, Washington to the headwaters at Canal Flats, north of Kimberley. The canoe, carrying four people, arrived at Canal Flats on Monday afternoon. Adam Wicks-Arshack of the Sea to Source expedition spoke by cell phone to the Bulletin as they paddled the last stretch across Columbia Lake Monday morning. The whole idea behind the expedition is to bring awareness to the salmon who used to populate the river right to its source. The group has spoken and
paddled with students and environmentalists along the way. “Last year we had a dugout canoe building contest to help educate students about the salmon in the river,” said Wicks-Arshack. “We made five canoes for the five types of salmon. With this trip we wanted to pay tribute to the salmon by starting the journey at the source where they do.” However, because of power dams along the river, salmon no longer make the same journey. The Sea to Source expedition advocates having fish ladders built at dams such as the Chief Joseph and Grand Coulee so the fish can get further up the river. Ideally, every dam would be modified to allow salmon to get past. “We were able to get past dams that the salmon
can’t,” Wicks-Arshack said. “With the renegotiation of the Columbia River Treaty, this is a perfect time to talk about it.” Wicks-Arshack says the Canadian portion of the journey has been truly enjoyable. “It’s such a pleasure on the Canadian parts of the river. It’s raw — huge mountains, glaciers and rapids. We paddled through the Columbia wetlands. They are just incredible, so biologically diverse. We saw more beavers and elk and wolves than on the whole rest of the trip combined. Right now we are sailing up the Columbia Lake. The sun is out. It’s just beautiful.” Wicks-Arshack says that while the trip ended Monday, efforts to bring awareness to the treaty, the river and the salmon will not end.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - For eight years as NBC News president, Steve Capus worried about Brian Williams, the “Today” show and rapid changes in the news industry. Now he’s taking time for a passion project: getting Yes into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Capus is collaborating with two political pros on an awareness campaign for the band that enthralled him when he attended their concert as a 16-year-old in Philadelphia in 1979. The team is already halfway there: Yes is one of 16 candidates for enshrinement next year, its first time nominated. “I don’t want people to think I’ve completely lost my mind,” said Capus, who after leaving NBC last spring has done consulting work in communications and plans to teach journalism and management. “This isn’t my new career. I’ve got the luxury of some time on my hands and the ability to do some projects that I believe in and have some fun doing.” “They’re all great musicians,” said Capus, who’s taking bass guitar lessons. “Nobody sounds like Yes does. They’ve got their own unique sound. They’ve kind of been the soundtrack to my life.” He was contacted by Republican con-

sultant John Brabender and Tad Devine, a Democrat, to join their effort. Both are Yes fans and admittedly bored between political campaigns. They thought boosting Yes could be fun, and perhaps fodder for a reality TV show about a Republican and Democrat co-operating during polarizing times. “Maybe we should just play Yes music in the halls of Congress,” quipped an amused Chris Squire, Yes bass player. The political team’s first step was to hire an opposition researcher - not to bash Deep Purple or the Moody Blues, but to find out what’s been holding Yes back. The rock hall hasn’t exactly embraced 1970s era progressive rock, and even convened a committee to research the genre and see if it has been overlooked. The induction of Rush this year is seen as a sign the logjam may be breaking. An act is eligible for the hall 25 years after its first release. A 35-member committee decides on nominees each September and ballots are sent to another 700 people, including all living inductees, music executives, musicians and journalists. Usually five to seven acts are inducted each time, said Joel Peresman, president and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.

Rossland
Historic home to RLOP gets facelift
Submitted ROSSLAND –In July 2013 the Rossland Light Opera Players received a grant from the Heritage Legacy Fund of British Columbia. The grant covered half of the cost of the painting and restoration of the original Bodega Hotel where the RLOP resides. The Rossland Light Opera Players provided the remaining funds for the project. Ken Turner of Rossland Paintworks was awarded the contract for the painting of the hotel’s exterior and trim. Turner, as a patron of the RLOP and also a member of the
Rossland Heritage Design Committee, was extremely helpful in the selection of the color scheme and design. He also designed and built the replacement Bodega Hotel sign, the marquis box and handpainted the Rossland Light Opera Players sign. Sue and Tom Buckley restored the deteriorated bottom panels on the front of the building. Jackie Drysdale of the Rossland Heritage Society provided the documentation on the history of the Bodega Hotel building which was required for the grant application. Joyce Austin of the

The Heritage Legacy Fund provided a promotional banner that is currently displayed in the front window of the RLOP building. The Rossland Heritage Committee provided a heritage plaque that is now
mounted on the front door of the building. The project was completed in the middle of August, in time for Rossland Golden City Days. The Rossland Light Opera Players was the first organization in Rossland to apply for and receive a grant from the Heritage Legacy Fund of B.C.

alloween is almost here and soon little ghosts and goblins will be wandering the streets in search of Halloween candy. If your children generally eat well all year long, then enjoying Halloween sweets is not a big deal – the key of course is moderation and making sure there is more to Halloween than just the candy. Try these ideas to help make Halloween a little healthier. Serve a healthy meal. On Halloween night serve a healthy meal before the kids head out to go trickor-treating. If kids feel full before they go trick-or-treating, they will be less tempted to eat candy along the way and will eat fewer pieces of candy

afterwards when they return home. Hand out nonsugary treats. Stand out from the crowd and give out something other than candy. Fun alternatives to treats include Halloween styled pens, pencils, and stickers. If you do give out sweets, avoid the
sticky gooey ones – try small plain chocolate bars or sugarless gums which are less likely to promote cavities. Encourage exercise while trick or treating. Make trick-or-treating an active family affair. Walk from house to house instead of driving. Wear pedometers to see how far you go. End the evening with active play. End the trick-or-treating part of the evening early and return home to play some spooktacular active games and healthy snacks. Manage the candy: One of the biggest challenges for kids and parents is manag-
ing all that Halloween candy. Ellyn Satter is a well-known specialist on feeding children. She offers these steps to help children learn to manage sweets and to keep sweets in proportion to the other food they eat: On Halloween night, when your children come home from trick-or-treating, let them lay out their candy, be really excited about it, sort it, and eat as much of it as they want, whenever they want. Let them do the same the next day. On the third day, have them put the candy away (out of sight) and tell them
Pediatricians recommend bedroom ban on smartphones and laptops THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO - Doctors 2 parents: Limit kids’ tweeting, texting & keep smartphones, laptops out of bedrooms. #goodluckwiththat. The recommendations are bound to prompt eye-rolling and LOLs from many teens but an influential pediatricians group says parents need to know that unrestricted media use can have serious consequences. It’s been linked with violence, cyberbullying, school woes, obesity, lack of sleep
and a host of other problems. It’s not a major cause of these troubles, but “many parents are clueless” about the profound impact media exposure can have on their children, said Dr. Victor Strasburger, lead author of the new American Academy of Pediatrics policy “This is the 21st century and they need to get with it,” said Strasburger. The policy is aimed at all kids, including those who use smartphones, computers

report that found U.S. children aged 8 to 18 spend an average of more than seven hours daily using some kind of entertainment media. Many kids now watch TV online and many send text messages from their bedrooms after “lights out,” including sexually explicit images by cellphone or Internet, yet few parents set rules about media use, the policy says. “I guarantee you that if you have a 14-year-old boy and he has an Internet connection in his bedroom, he is looking at pornography,” Strasburger said. The policy notes that three-quarters of kids aged 12 to 17 own cellphones; nearly all teens send text messages, and many younger kids have phones giving them online access. “Young people now spend more time with media than they do in school - it is the leading activity for children and teenagers other than sleeping” the policy says. The policy comes two weeks after police arrested two Florida girls accused of bullying a classmate who committed suicide. Police say one of the girls recently boasted online about the bullying and the local sheriff questioned why the suspects’ parents hadn’t restricted their Internet use.

Saints fall
By Times Staff The Selkirk College Saints’ winning streak came to an abrupt end, as the team dropped back-to-back games for the first time since March 2012 this weekend, losing to both Thompson Rivers University and Simon Fraser University on Friday and Saturday. In the trip opener on Friday, the Saints were defeated 5-2 by a WolfPack squad that they had swept in Castlegar by a combined 13-2 margin the previous weekend. TRU jumped out to a two-goal lead that the Saints would eventually match on goals from former Trail Smoke Eater captain Logan Proulx and Colin Minardi, but it was downhill from there as the hosts would score three unanswered goals to solidify the victory. Another former Trail Smoke Eater forward Tyler Berkholtz scored a pair of goals for the WolfPack, while Mark Menicucci picked up his first BCIHL win in net for TRU. “The effort on Friday night in Kamloops was the poorest I’ve seen since I’ve been here,” says Saints head coach Jeff Dubois.

The J. L. Crowe Hawks had another good weekend on the pitch in Creston beating Kimberley 4-2 in extra time, before blanking the hosts 1-0 (above) thanks to a goal by Nolan DeRosa on a free kick, before falling to Nelson in the final 4-0.

Castlegar golfer earns award
Submitted The Kootenay Golf Trail, an association of seven golf courses in the West Kootenay and Boundary region, named Castlegar’s Ely Overennay as the BC Golf Association Zone One West 2013 Junior Golfer of the Year. Overennay earned the award due to his great play, based on tournament score progression, his attitude on the course and commitment to development as a golfer. The 13-year-old has been involved in golf from a very early age. His father Collin, says that at age five, Overennay was already hitting balls in the back yard and by eight was fully engaged in formal play. As a Zone 1 West Junior golfer, Overennay enjoys all of the courses in the region, however, did not hesitate in saying that his home course, Castlegar, topped the list. In fact, his lucky charm when involved in tournament play is a Castlegar Golf Course ball marker. Eventually, Overennay hopes to secure a university or college golf scholarship. The local golf courses that make up the Kootenay Golf Trail are committed to the development of young golfers and hope that this award will act as a form of motivation for those who are currently engaged or are considering the sport.
Smoke Eaters
Trail appoints former Bruin as coach By Jim Bailey
Times Sports Editor
The Trail Smoke Eaters took their first step towards a turn around, hiring Yale alumnus Nick Deschenes as the team’s new head coach and general manager. Deschenes, a native of Morinville, Alta., joins the Smoke Eaters from the KIJHL’s Grand Forks Border Bruins. “On a personal level I’m really excited,” said Deschenes. “I think I’m ready for this opportunity, and ready to do my best to help the organization and get it back on track.” The Smokies dismissed head coach Bill Birks, after a five-game losing streak dropped the Smoke Eaters to the bottom of the Interior division. “We as a board of directors met with coach Deschenes on the weekend and were very impressed with his approach,” said Smoke Eaters president Tom Gawryletz in a release. “He comes to our organization with a terrific hockey background and was doing a great job with the club in Grand Forks.” Deschenes joined the Border Bruins as a coach at the tail end of the 2011-12 season after his final year playing professional hockey with the Federal Hockey League’s Danbury Whalers. Under Deschenes’ guidance, the Border Bruins went from 1-49-0-2 to
As a player, Deschenes skated in the Alberta Junior Hockey League with the Fort Saskatchewan Traders, scoring 40 goals and 85 points during the 1998-99 season earning a scholarship to Yale University.

Sports World series
chris buccini legacy
Ortiz poised to set record
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON - David Ortiz heads into Game 6 of the World Series with an opportunity for his third championship in 10 seasons. The Boston Red Sox slugger also has a chance to set a record for the highest batting average in a single series. Ortiz is hitting .733 after going 11 for 15. The record of .750 was set by Billy Hatcher of the Cincinnati Reds in a four-game
sweep of the Oakland Athletics in 1990. Ortiz went 3 for 4 with a runscoring double and two singles in a 3-1 win Monday night in St. Louis that gave the Red Sox a 3-2 series lead. They can win the Series at home Wednesday night when John Lackey faces the Cardinals’ Michael Wacha. If necessary, a seventh game would be at Fenway Park on Thursday.
Kootenay Savings Super League Curling
Rellish leapfrogs Nichol By Times Contributor
It was a battle of the top-two teams in Kootenay Savings Super League last Thursday. First place was on the line with Team Myron Nichol leading Team Rellish Transport by one point in the standings. Rellish skip Deane Horning had his team in control early, taking deuces in the first and third, while forcing Nichol, staring at three buried Rellish stones, to make a delicate raise tap for one in the second. Nichol missed an opportunity to tie it in the fourth but stole one in the fifth to tie it at 4-4. The game tightened up for the next couple of ends, as Team Rellish took one in the sixth, and Nichol blanked the seventh, only to take one in the eighth himself. Nichol got in trouble in the ninth with front end misses, leaving the skip to try and execute a perfect freeze on one of Rellishes’ buried four foot
rocks. Unfortunately it bumped and rolled out into the open, giving Horning an open hit for five, and a 10-5 win, thus leapfrogging Team Nichol into first place. Maglio Mens and Team Fines squared off in a match that featured an early gofor-broke attitude. Skip Russ Beauchamp, staring at three Fines stones had to make a perfect draw to the button in the first. Skip Fines got on the board in the second with a delicate come around tap for two. The next two ends saw some early misses by both front ends, leading to each team putting up big four enders, and a 6-5 Fines lead after four ends. Things got cleaner with less rocks in play after that, with Fines scoring one in the sixth and Maglio Mens netting singles in the fifth and seventh, to tie the game at 7-7. Team Fines had an open hit for two in the eighth, then stole two in the 9th when Russ’s last rock over curled,

racking on a guard to give Team Fines an 11-7 first win. Team Albo took advantage of a depleted Brost Autoworx with relentless pressure, forcing interm Skip Brittany Palmer to make perfect draws to the button in the first and fifth ends for singles, but Team Albo created too may opportunities stealing the third, fourth and sixth ends for a convincing 9-2 win. Team Ferguson and Maglio Ladies played an entertaining match. After blanking the first, third Joe Ferguson made a perfect hit and roll behind cover, leading to a three ender in the second. Skip Heather Nichol executed a nice come around tap for two in the third, then forced Ferguson to take one in the fourth. However, a steal of two for Ferguson in the fifth, led to Maglio Ladies taking chances, and more Ferguson steals in the sixth and seventh. The Ladies got back on the board with another deuce in the eighth, but had enough, shaking hands for an 8-4 Ferguson win.

FROM PAGE 11 “The complacency and lack of focus were glaring, and to their credit TRU took full advantage of the chances they created. But for our part, it was an unacceptable performance in every aspect, which was surprising because we’ve done a good job avoiding these types of efforts in the past.” On Saturday, the Saints rebounded with a solid effort but nevertheless dropped a 5-3 decision to Simon Fraser University in their first meeting since
Selkirk captured the 2013 BCIHL Championship in March. The Saints will look to bounce back from the disappointing weekend when Trinity Western University (4-1) pays their first visit of the regular season on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. The game marks the first of three straight between Selkirk and TWU, as a two-game match-up is on tap for Langley the following weekend. Proulx has recorded a point in six straight games so far this season.

The B.C. Supreme Court ruled last week that the public consultation process was not at issue when the District of Invermere administered a cull of 19 deer in March of 2012. The Invermere Deer Protection Society argued that the town did not do enough to consult the community prior to the cull and so launched the lawsuit. Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski explained that the city follows the same public consultation process, so the case could have caused changes for communities across B.C. “We’ve certainly been waiting for the outcome and we’re pleased with the decision of the courts,” Stetski said. “Basically the public consultation process has been set out for all of us in the province of B.C. and we were all following the same approach. So had there been a different decision in Invermere, that would have impacted the public involvement process for all of the communities.” Stetski said the lawsuit tried to determine if the public process was appropriate, with the court finding that in the past it has been. “It really doesn’t change anything, because it was looking
back, not lo oking forward,” he said. “Had the results been different, it would have changed the results in the future. So it’s good to
see that the process we followed was a good one, but it doesn’t change where we’re at in terms of cull or no cull moving ahead this year.”
The city has had two culls. The first was a cull of 25 deer in 2011. The second was one of 30 deer in February 2013.
