Boundary expansion takes another step BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

Trail is inching its way closer to extending its municipal boundary to encompass the Waneta industrial park. But the city isn't in a position to proceed without gauging its residents first, which Trail council decided to do Thursday through an alternative approval process that gives electors 30 days to rally against the proposal via petition.

“We've been looking at this for two and half years, actually I've envisioned it for 10 years now or more, and here's an opportunity . . . to advance the entire region,” said Coun. Robert Cacchioni during the special meeting. “I don't look at it as a Trail initiative, I look at it as an initiative that's going to stabilize the economy and improve the economy of the entire region for the next 20 years.” The report presented to council points to an overall net gain of $1.6 million over a fiveyear period, along with other benefits such as an opportunity to maximize the utility

of the land through potential infrastructure improvements, which could attract investors to develop and eventually create more jobs. In addition, it notes reduced costs for the property owners and planning and policy guidelines that take a “business friendly” approach to development and a longterm partnership with Teck. The city previously entered into negotiations with Teck Metals Ltd. with specific conditions associated with approval to proceed as the majority landowner in the area. This resulted in the parties coming to a pending agreement that includes (over the course of five years) locking Teck's share of tax revenue in at 55 per cent from the current 62; a one-time $1 million community investment by Teck; and an ongoing community investment of $225,000, also focused on economic development. David Perehudoff, chief administrative officer, said this is a positive partnership that addresses industrial taxation that is brought up time and again at the provincial level and during talks at the Union of BC Municipalities. But this sentiment was not shared across the table. Coun. Gord DeRosa is concerned about the 20-year “tax freeze” that he said could have serious implications down the road. See RESIDENTS, Page 4

Free admission to Trail Museum this summer BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

Discovering Trail's history with a visit to the museum will be free of charge this summer, an attempt to prove to voters the value a new facility could bring to the city's collection. Artifacts like a beautiful handmade wine press and a replica S.S. Trail sternwheeler, an example of early transportation along the waterways of the Kootenays, are just a few of the artifacts found at the facility located inside the Trail Memorial Centre. “We feel that if more residents

visited our current museum, they will better understand the need for a new facility when going to the polls in November,” explained Trail Historical Society president Jamie Forbes in a news release. November's municipal election will include a borrowing bylaw referendum that will ask residents to support the borrowing of up to nearly $6.3 million to construct a new, integrated museum and library facility on the former Eagles' lot at the corner of Bay Avenue and Helena Street.

The Trail Historical Society has kindly shared stories and photos of Greater Trail’s history. Trail has many connections to the Hockey Hall of Fame but none more unique than Larry Kwong. The Hockey Hall of Fame recently inducted Larry for the special place he holds in the history of hockey in Canada, an honour preceded by his induction in the BC Sports Hall of Fame last year. Although not a household name in Trail, Larry holds a special place in the hockey heritage of our community. Larry was the first Chinese Canadian, and first of Asian descent, to play in the National Hockey League. On March 13, 1948, he played one shift for the New York Rangers against the Montreal Canadiens in the Forum. This ‘small cup of coffee’ in the big leagues has forever immortalized his contribution to hockey in our Country. So, what is his connection to Trail? Larry was born on June 17, 1923 in Vernon. At the age of 18, he joined the 1941-42 Trail Smoke Eaters in their last year of play in the West Kootenay Hockey League before it suspended play due to WWII. He returned for the 1945-46 season in which Trail won the Savage Cup and went to the Allan Cup Finals, losing to the Calgary Stampeders. His skills did not go unnoticed and the New York Rangers signed him to a pro contract and assigned him to their farm team, the New York Rovers, for the 1946-47 season where he led the team in scoring. Then came his call up to the Rangers, however brief. Larry felt he would not be accepted in the NHL due to his ancestry and the following season signed with the Valleyfield Braves of the Quebec Senior League, where he played 8 seasons. He finished his playing career in Europe in 1958 and returned to Canada to follow his parents into the grocery business.

Warfield

Annual Family Day called off on eve of 75th anniversary Village ponders other alternatives By Art Harrison Times Staff

It has been a tradition in the Village of Warfield since 1939, originally called Warfield Sports Day, but now apparently without an official title more often referred to as Warfield Family Day and there is no evidence the community festival has ever been cancelled. But now, due to lack of an indoor venue with the Warfield Hall under renovation, Warfield’s annual celebration, usually held near this time every year, is possibly going to be cancelled. “We usually do a lot at the hall and that won’t be ready until July 6,” said Vince Morelli, village chief administrative officer. “It’s usually been held at the end of May or early June because by July you have a lot of people on vacation and you wouldn’t get the turnout.” The $620,000 renovation and expansion of the hall takes the village’s central meeting point out of play in a community that has experienced turmoil recently over the question of the recreational and cultural activities available to its residents. “We’ll maybe do something a little bigger July 1 at the pool,” said Morelli. “The pool is ready to begin filling, we just have to wait for the new paint to set for a week so we don’t run into the issues we saw last year.” According to the recollection of long-time Warfield resident, Art Bickerton, on the village’s website, not even the outbreak of the Second World War in Europe affected the beginnings of the community celebration. The first Warfield Sports Day was held May 24, 1939 on a budget of $37.50 and, like many small town parties of the time, featured races and sports events for the residents to compete against each other for prizes of 15 cents for a first place win, 10 cents for second, and 5 cents for third. The website’s historical memoir on Sports Day attributes the growth and participation of the annual event as the impetus in the development of much of the village’s recreational infrastructure including playgrounds, outdoor skating rinks, tennis courts, and… the Warfield Hall. Staff was unaware that this year’s event would have been the 75-year anniversary until notified by the Trail Times reporter in a phone call. “I did not know that,” Morelli said. “The recreation group meets next Tuesday, I’m sure they’ll be doing something.”

Crowe grad still going ahead despite dispute By Jennifer Chung Special to the Times

The question that left many parents and students still asking is, “Will Grad 2014 still carry on?” The answer is “Yes.” Teachers in B.C. have entered Stage 2 of their job action which changes some of the graduation setup this year. “Unfortunately, this will have some impact on our preparations and planning for the formal Graduation Ceremony on Friday, June 13,” said David DeRosa, J.L. Crowe Secondary principal, in a letter to the organizing committee. “With heavy hearts, our teacher sponsors have removed themselves from

FROM PAGE 1 Based on an average $181,200 property assessment, this would result in an $81 increase to annual taxes. But as more funding is acquired from grants and sponsorships, annual property taxes will be reduced by $11 annually for every $1 million raised for the facility. Beyond the museum closing last year during most of August as a result of construction along

their roles in coordinating and organizing the grad ceremony. We experienced similar circumstances in 2012 and with the support of school and district administration and some pre-ceremony planning with parents, we should be OK in getting everything prepared for June 13, 2014.” The grad ceremony will be held June 13 in the Cominco Arena featuring approximately 180 graduating students. DeRosa remains optimistic about grad arrangements. Not much has changed and grad events like the Silverwood trip, grad ceremony, Memory Walk, and prom are still proceeding according to plan.

Victoria Street, visits remained consistent, according to Sarah Benson, director of Trail Museums and Archives. “We had a total of 223 visitors last year, which is slightly higher than the previous five years,” she said. “We can attribute that to several things, however residents of Trail tend to spend a significant amount of the summer away from here.”

Jesse Bartsoff, the Crowe grad president, is also optimistic. “Not really anything going on, there is no change and grad is still happening. Students are just not sure if teachers will be there or not.” Bartsoff is certain that graduation will be fine and believes the evening will go smoothly. He encourages everyone to attend the Memory Walk on June 14, which is open to the public and followed by pictures at Gyro Park. The prom will be held later that evening at the Fruitvale Memorial Hall. Jennifer Chung is a J.L. Crowe student in the work experience program.

Staffing costs to run the museum that currently opens during the summer are covered through the federal Canada Summer Jobs program. Museum admission has never played a major role in the annual operating budget, said Benson, therefore offering free admission seemed a reasonable and appropriate option for the board. Members of the Trail Historical

Society board will be on hand at the Trail Market on the Esplanade throughout the season, starting June 6, to answer questions and provide further information on the proposed facility. Access to the Trail Museum is along Victoria Street to the right of the memorial centre’s main entrance. The museum opens Monday through to the end of August from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

positions of power knowing both politicians favoured making ALR changes. “I think that Mr. Bennett has a good deal to answer for,” said Horgan. “He said categorically he did not have an axe to grind, but clearly he’s been grinding an axe for about a decade now.” Bennett said he has always been clear that he favoured an overhaul of the land commission. “There’s really not very much new here folks,” he said. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick rejected NDP calls to withdraw the current ALR amendment act until more public consultations are held. Letnick said changes to the proposed law were introduced that further reinforce the independence of the land commission. Both Bennett and Letnick said Pimm’s email comments about First Nations people were unfortunate and regrettable and do not reflect the views of the Liberal government. The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs issued a statement calling Pimm’s comments “repugnant, reprehensible and downright racist.” Former British Columbia New Democrat premier Ujjal Dosanjh the first Indo-Canadian premier in Canadian history - was one of the dozens of guests at the legislature attending the ceremony marking the arrival of the Komagata Maru at Burrard Inlet in Vancouver.

In 2008, the B.C. politicians made a formal apology to the South Asian community and to the families of the victims of the Komagata Maru incident.

Residents have 30 days to voice opposition FROM PAGE 1 “I’ve brought this to the attention of staff and council that there are some implications of pollutants that are buried in our community that we may have to remove at our cost and we can’t do it 20 years ahead and one of those pollutants is mercury, which fumes and is slightly soluble in water,” he said to his colleagues. “If it ends up in the river and comes back that we have to remove it, how do we do that?” He was the only member of council to vote down the alternative approval process motion, stating other issues with the proposal that had him rattled and aggravated when he expressed his points with little to no support from his peers. He has never agreed with the proposed expansion in the first place, he said, and instead has always stood behind the creation of a district municipality that would benefit the entire region. The Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development has indicated her desire to see this matter concluded this summer ahead of the municipal election in November, hence the special meeting and vote made in absence of Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs. Though the rest of council was comfortable with proceeding without Bogs, who has previously voiced his support of the expansion, DeRosa felt that the community leader should have been in attendance. “In my 27 years I have never had to make a decision of this magnitude,” he said. “I’m setting the tone for this community for the next 20 years and in the event something dramatic happens and we need to up everybody’s taxes, including and with no disrespect to Teck, we now do not have the means of covering costs of repairs.” At least 10 per cent of electors must state their disapproval of the boundary expansion via signature within 30 days advertised (before July 2), to put a stop to the alternative process. Trail is currently seeking consent of the property owners in the proposed boundary extension area at this time and looks ahead to mitigation with Area A.

National Saskatchewan

Province going hog wild THE CANADIAN PRESS SASKATOON - A University of Saskatchewan biologist says immediate action is needed to control a wild boar population in the province that is much worse than previously thought. Ryan Brook says a scientific survey he and a University of Denmark researcher did indicates there’s a high probability that feral boars inhabit 70 per cent of Saskatchewan’s 296 rural municipalities. Boar were brought into the province in the 1990s as an alternative livestock option for farmers. Brooks says in the United States, wild boar have caused billions of dollars in damage from disease, livestock harassment and destruction to crops and ecosystems. He says hunting alone has no real effect on the animals and suggests tactics such as fencing, aerial hunting and on-farm risk management as better control methods. The Saskatchewan government started a wild boar eradication program in 2009, but says it has not seen any significant increase in damage claims.

Alberta

Law pondered to ban minors from tanning beds THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON Alberta’s health minister says a new law will be introduced later this year that will keep people under 18 out of tanning beds. Fred Horne had earlier said legislation would protect youth from skin cancer, but he didn’t indicate if that meant including such a ban. He said Wednesday that a scientific committee has examined the issue and laws in other provinces. “The evidence is overwhelming about the increased risk for melanoma or skin cancer for people who are exposed to artificial tanning,” he said. “This would, at least in my view, be the most appropriate response to try to stop a cancer that is quite frankly completely preventable.” All other provinces - except Saskatchewan and Manitoba - have laws preventing youths from using indoor tanning equipment. Saskatchewan ruled out a ban earlier this year. Manitoba lets young people use the beds if they have parental consent. Parental consent is an option that will likely be considered in Alberta, said Horne, but it’s not something he supports. He said he hopes

other members of cabinet will back the bill when it’s tabled in the fall. “I think many of them will. I’ve talked to many of them about it already.” The Canadian Cancer Society released a report earlier this week that says people underestimate the risk of getting skin cancer and aren’t doing enough to protect against it. Numbers show cases of melanoma are on the rise, in both women and men. The society expects there will be 80,000 cases of skin cancer this year, almost the same number of cases as the top four cancers combined - lung, breast, prostate and colorectal cancer.

Millions on ads to counter ‘misinformation,’ says Fantino THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Veterans Affairs is spending an additional $4 million on advertising this year - including television spots throughout the NHL playoffs but ignoring the plight of families who care for injured soldiers, says the spouse of a veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder. An angry Jenifer Migneault chased after Julian Fantino and demanded to speak to the veterans affairs minister following his appearance Thursday at a House of Commons committee hearing. The spectacle played out before a crush of reporters, television cameras and microphones in a scene reminiscent of Fantino’s testy encounter last winter with veterans angry about the closure of federal offices. This time Fantino - whose image took a bruising in the last encounter - chose not to stop and explain the government’s position. “I’m offended,” an embittered Migneault said afterward. “A man like that is supposed to be so proud of my husband’s service? C’mon, that’s a joke ... We’re the ones who live 24 hours a day with their heroes.” The Harper government has poured millions of extra dollars into veterans benefits and services, but the challenges faced by caregivers represent a major funding gap,

I’m feeling

“A man like that is supposed to be so proud of my husband’s service? C’mon, that’s a joke ... We’re the ones who live 24 hours a day with their heroes.” Jenifer Migneault

one that has received little public attention. Migneault, whose husband Claude Rainville was diagnosed with PTSD eight years ago, has tried to raise awareness, but she said she can’t get Conservative MPs - including Fantino’s parliamentary secretary, Parm Gill - to return her calls. The spouses of physically and mentally wounded soldiers need training and support to be caregivers, said Migneault. Most of what she’s learned has been on her own, including a 40-hour class to help her better understand when best to simply listen to her husband, and when to intervene. The money being spent on increased advertising should go elsewhere, Migneault said. “Please just use that money to talk to us,” she said. “We’ll tell you a whole lot about our husbands that you DOLBY 7.1 SURROUND SOUND

guys don’t know about. Spend the money in the right place and you’ll see real results.” During his testimony, Fantino defended the increase, saying the ads are an attempt by the government to communicate directly with veterans and dispel what he called “misinformation” surrounding the treatment of exsoldiers. “We are faced with the bantering that goes back and forth about what is - or isn’t (covered); what facts and non-facts are; and also the fear mongering, ” Fantino told the committee. Still, neither Fantino nor his deputy minister could say how much the advertising increase is going towards expensive prime-time ads during playoff hockey games - or how much each commercial is costing. The opposition parties accused the government of promoting itself at the expense

of improved programs and benefits. Liberal critic Frank Valeriote pointed out that this year’s federal budget increased transition services for veterans by only $11,000. “I’m wondering how you can justify for us your department spending more on advertising - a $4-million increase in advertising - and less on the actual programs themselves,” Valeriote said. The TV ads emphasize efforts to move

Mounting climate evidence needs response

ecause we enjoy relatively pure air, clean water and healthy food systems, Canadians sometimes take the environment for granted. Many scarcely blink if oil from a pipeline spills into a river, a forest is cleared for oil sands operations or agricultural land is fracked for gas. If Arctic ice melts and part of the Antarctic ice sheet collapses, well . . . they’re far away. Some see climate change as a distant threat, if they see it as a threat at all. But the scientific evidence is overwhelming: climate change is here, and unless we curb behaviours that contribute to it, it will get worse, putting our food, air, water and security at risk. A recent White House report confirms the findings of this year’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fifth Assessment report, and concludes global warming is a clear and present danger to the U.S. “Climate change is . . . affecting the American people already,” says White House science adviser John Holdren in a video about

the report. “Summers are longer and hotter, with longer periods of extended heat. Wildfires start earlier in the spring and continue later into the fall. Rain comes down in heavier downpours. People are experiencing changes in the length and severity of allergies. And climate disruptions to water resources and agriculture have been increasing.” Recognizing the problem’s severity is a start, but whether the U.S. will actually do anything is another question. Action to curb climate change is constantly stalled – thanks to the powerful fossil fuel industry, political and media denial, extensive fossil fuel-based infrastructure and citizen complacency. But at least the U.S. and its president have unequivocally called for action. It’s disturbing that political leaders in Canada – a northern country already feeling impacts, with a long coastline particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels – ignore the issue in their drive to make Canada a petro-power. Our government prefers to spend taxpayers’ money to support the fossil

fuel industry with advertising campaigns and billions of dollars in subsidies. A recent New York Times ad, worth US$207,000, touts oil sands and pipelines as “environmentally responsible.” Despite opposition from communities throughout B.C. and the rest of Canada, including many First Nations, approval of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project is expected next month. Perceived economic benefits (mostly shortterm) trump the needs of all Canadians and their children and grandchildren for clean air and water, healthy food and a stable climate. Droughts, floods, water shortages, insect-

plagued forests, extreme weather events, rising sea levels and melting glaciers don’t matter as much as getting the oil, gas and coal out of the ground and sold as quickly as possible. B.C. once showed promise with climate policies such as a carbon tax. Now the government in my home province is also pinning its hopes on the fossil fuel market, fracking our way to “prosperity” at the expense of longterm human and economic health, farmland and climate. How can we allow governments and industry to continue leading us down this destructive path? Some people say we must choose between the human-created economy and the natural environment – an absurd argument on many levels, and a false dichotomy. Even within the current flawed economic paradigm, it’s far more financially sound to invest in renewable energy and diversification than in a dying industry. Others, often driven by fossil fuel industry propaganda, doubt the evidence and question the creden-

tials of thousands of scientists worldwide studying the issue. The IPCC report involved hundreds of scientists and experts worldwide who analyzed the latest peer-reviewed scientific literature and other relevant materials on climate change. The White House report was overseen by 13 government agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, NASA, Department of the Interior, Department of Defense and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It was written by close to 300 scientists and experts and reviewed by numerous others, including the National Academy of Sciences. It was also vetted by groups ranging from oil companies to environmental organizations. The IPCC and White House reports are clear: solutions are available. But the longer we delay the more difficult and expensive they will be to implement. We can’t just sit by and do nothing.

traffic going in and out of the Port of Vancouver from China, Korea, and Japan, despite the Pacific Ocean being an international waterway, presumably in the same league as the St. Lawrence. As Quebec’s Charbonneau commission reveals with each day of testimony, there’s a reason why governments in Montreal have no money for a new bridge. They are plagued with some of the highest construction costs in North America, along with the highest income taxes, consumption taxes, and fuel taxes, and the highest debt: mob influence extends from ownership to management, to labour in Quebec’s construction industry, and through these players to political fundraisers and elected officials. One former Charest cabinet minister just pleaded guilty to corruption charges while former mayors and city councillors in Montreal and surrounding suburbs await trial. While it’s entertaining to watch Quebec’s premier, the region’s mayors, and the legions of city councillors, provincial MNAs and federal MPs who crowd the over-governed island dancing a chorus line denouncing Harper, the spectacle is nothing new. Pandering to the basest demands for political pork from Ottawa is one of the most timehonoured acts in the Quebec political vaudeville show. But Mulcair and Trudeau should think long and hard whether they want to spend the 2015 election campaign defending this indefensible $5 billion demand from Montreal.

Waistlines growing worldwide THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON - Almost a third of the world is now fat, and no country has been able to curb obesity rates in the last three decades, according to a new global analysis. Researchers found more than 2 billion people worldwide are now overweight or obese. The highest rates were in the Middle East and North Africa, where nearly 60 per cent of men and 65 per cent of women are heavy. The U.S. has about 13 per cent of the world’s fat population, a greater percentage than any other country. China and India combined have about 15 per cent. “It’s pretty grim,” said Christopher Murray of the Institute for Health Metrics

and Evaluation at the University of Washington, who led the study. He and colleagues reviewed more than 1,700 studies covering 188 countries from 1980 to 2013. “When we realized that not a single country has had a significant decline in obesity, that tells you how hard a challenge this is.” Murray said there was a strong link between income and obesity; in developing countries, as people get richer, their waistlines also tend to start bulging. In many rich countries like the U.S. and Britain, the trend is reversed - though only slightly. Murray said scientists have noticed accompanying spikes in diabetes as obesity

has risen and that rates of cancers linked to weight, like pancreatic cancer, are also rising. The new report was paid for by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and published online Thursday in the journal, Lancet. Last week, the World Health Organization established a high-level commission tasked with ending childhood obesity. “Our children are getting fatter,” Dr. Margaret Chan, WHO’s director-general, said bluntly during a speech at the agency’s annual meeting in Geneva. “Parts of the world are quite literally eating themselves to death.” Earlier this year, WHO said that no more than 5 per cent of daily calories should come from sugar.

MAYA ANGELOU

Poet had profound impact on race and gender

“She came into the room,” recalled Al Sharpton, “and she said: ‘The first problem is you don’t have women in here of equal status. We need to correct you before you can correct the country.”’ Angelou, who died Wednesday at 86, made an impact on American culture that transcended her soaring poetry and searing memoirs. She was the nation’s wise woman, a poet to presidents, an unapologetic conscience who became such a touchstone that grief over her loss poured from political leaders, celebrities and ordinary people in generous doses. “Above all, she was a storyteller - and her greatest stories were true,” President Barack Obama said. Never hesitant to speak her mind, Angelou passionately defended the rights of women, young people and the ignored. She effortlessly traversed the worlds of literature and activism, becoming a confidante to the original civil rights leaders, their successors and the current It’s with aching and broken hearts that we generation. “I’ve seen many announce the passing of Glen Maurice things, I’ve learned Cromarty.

mentoring Oprah Winfrey, instructing Alicia Keys in “lining out,” a call-and-response form of singing popular in Southern black churches, acting in a television sketch with Richard Pryor and inspiring singers, authors and actors of all races and genders. Angelou was a “phenomenal woman of insight, eloquence and artistry who gave voice to the rawness and loftiness of our history and our humanity,” said Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the nation’s first female House speaker. Angelou’s talents and platforms were boundless: poetry, books, movies, the spoken word, television, a weekly SiriusXM satellite radio show and even Twitter and Facebook. She collected accolades from all portions of society: a Tony Award in 1973 for her appearance in the play “Look Away”; three Grammys for her spoken-word albums; an honorary National Book Award for her contributions to the literary community; a National Medal of Arts; and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honour. Whether talking about the scourge of discrimination or the evil of sexism, “she has much to teach this generation and generations unborn about what it means to be an authentic person, and the power of the genuine,” the Rev. Jesse Jackson said. Before becoming a famed author, Angelou worked as a co-ordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and lived for years in Egypt and Ghana, where she met Nelson Mandela, who became a longtime friend, and Malcolm X, to whom she remained close until his assassination in 1965. Three years later, she was helping Martin Luther King Jr. organize the Poor People’s March in Memphis, Tennessee. King was shot and killed there, on Angelou’s 40th birthday. “Every year, on that day, Coretta and I would send each other flowers,” Angelou said of King’s widow, Coretta Scott King, who died in 2006. Women sympathized and empathized with Angelou’s hardscrabble life. Born poor and black, she was a childhood victim of rape, shamed into silence. She was a young single mother who had to work at strip clubs for a living. She took all of that and turned it into “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” one of the most widely read memoirs of the past few decades. “Her gifts were born out of pain,” said Patricia Rosier, president of the National Bar Association. “This allowed those who came before us and those after us to rise. She was not afraid to fiercely explore her selfidentity so that we, too, could fully be who we are.”

REGIONAL CRANBROOK

Council seeks solution to two-tiered rec fees BY ARNE PETRYSHEN Cranbrook Townsman

Council is hoping to find a solution to end the two-tier resident/non-resident fee structure that is currently in place for use of recreation facilities in Cranbrook The City of Cranbrook will be inviting the Regional District of East Kootenay to enter into discussions on establishing a joint recreation commission or committee to oversee the goals and operations of the community’s recreation services. Council voted on sending the invitation at the Monday, May 26 regular meeting. Coun. Bob Whetham said this puts forward the actual figures, which should facilitate discussions to begin. “I think up until now it’s been kind of debated in principle,” Whetham said. “It’s not really provided anybody with the information that they would need to have to understand where the

city is coming from, trying to come up with a more equitable formula for sharing cost of the facilities that are actually used by not only ourselves, but surrounding residents.” Mayor Wayne Stetski said it’s a twopart question. “One is shared financial responsibility in the future and the other is what model of governance would make that cost sharing work best?” Stetski said. Cranbrook taxpayers pay $3.9 million of the $5 million annual operating costs of Cranbrook’s recreational facilities. The other $1.1 million comes from user fees for use of the facilities. The $5 million includes operating costs for Western Financial Place, the Memorial and Kinsmen Arenas, the curling centre, Moir, Kinsmen and Confederation Parks, as well as leisure services administration and debt servicing for the Memorial and Western

Financial. Debt repayment for Western Financial Place itself makes up $1.6 million of that total. Mayor Wayne Stetski said it’s not an unusual formula. “The Town of Creston, for example – their recreation complex is done in a shared financial formula with the Regional District of Central Kootenay,” he said, noting Golden also has a similar agreement. “So this is not a new concept. It’s a fairly standard way to do business.” Coun. Angus Davis said the formula is workable and was reminiscent of the situation with the

headroom and some room to stretch out either piloting or co-piloting the Micra. Under hard acceleration, primarily from the 4-speed automatic, the Micra is quite vocal. You can really hear the engine noise intrude the cabin. It’s not a performance machine like the Nissan GT-R, where you want to hear as much ruckus as you can. However, when cruising at highway speeds – without the lead foot acceleration – my driving partner and I noticed how quiet the cabin is. Wind noise is kept at bay and it’s serene. Furthermore, it was an incredibly blustery day when we took these pint-sized four-doors out. Needless to say, you could feel the swagger of the car at highway speeds. But in its defense, larger vehicles felt the wrath of Mother Nature’s blow, too.

While very affordable, the Micra isn’t “cheap” in execution. Even the knobs on the roll down windows have a soft touch to them. And there are metallic accents to break up the otherwise bland black interior. I certainly wasn’t disappointed when captaining the Micra. Even though that might sound like a backhanded compliment, it’s not. As far as small cars go, it’s functional, funky and has great value. Whether you’re looking for a vehicle that gets you from point A to B – minus all the options – or said vehicle with a few extras, the 2015 Micra might be the car for you. Summed up, the Micra is affordable transportation with amiable drivability, an easy-on-the eyes interior and overall a bubbly personality. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

ford. They control the costs and track the daily progress by using a number of management systems and a Gantt chart. The secret to controlling the work is to perform all of the tasks in-house with perhaps the exception of chrome plating. During my time in the trade, costs kept mounting up and either the customer or the technician, who worked on a flat rate (piecework) basis, was short changed resulting in ill feelings between the shop owner, his staff and the customer mainly continued from page 11

caused by the lack of communication and too many assumptions! Laura Ballance’s original plan was to have a sympathetic restoration performed, replacing only what was necessary. But cars are no different from houses, boats and planes, so when the Mustang was disassembled and stripped they discovered that probably the only thing holding the car together was Laura’s father’s DIY welding! The Mustang is a relatively easy car to restore in terms of obtaining new parts. In this case, by the time the air chisel and

plasma cutter was put away the only major sheet metal components left was the roof, “A” pillars, rocker-panels, bulkhead and the two front frame rails and the rear section of the floor. I have heard the expression “better than new” a few times over the years and have often wondered how can it be better than new? But it can. Today’s restorations have improved with the help of new technology such as compression fit welding equipment, seam sealers and paint products including epoxy primers, spray on polyester fillers and the

Fisheries try to solve pike problem

By Valerie Rossi Times Staff

B.C.’s No. 1 sports town is about to get a taste of the fastest growing sport in the world when roller derby hits the Trail Arena Saturday. “Miss Trial” will be the first West Kootenay Roller Derby league doubleheader to grace Trail. The fan base in Trail is still growing, according to RTRG assistant captain Christin Davis (aka Roll N Loki), and the upcoming bout should bring in some first-time spectators. “It’s infectious,” she said, “once you get the derby bug you get sucked in.” Davis is speaking from experience. She’s been circling the track for the past four years through team growth and development and is now one of the veteran players on RTRG, an amalgamated team made up of Rossland’s former Gnarlie’s Angels and Trail’s former Bad News Betties. The team made its mark last season with some nail biting wins and losses and has reinvented itself this season with new skaters full of fire in the belly. It’s remarkable how far the not-so “fresh meat” have come in a short time. The action starts at 5 p.m. when RTRG face off against Valley Brutality, a temporary combined team made up of the league’s Slocan Valley Vendettas and Salmo’s Babes of Brutality. Despite the distance between the two communities, Valley Brutality is gelling nicely together and turning heads while they’re at it. “Skating with another team is awesome,” admits Shelly Grice Gold, a Salmo skater known as Hoar Frost. “We have such a great connection and everyone is so full of support and admiration for the other side we merged with.” Grice Gold is responsible for bringing roller derby to the area back in 2009 when a small group of Salmo girls suited up and attempted to play the full-contact sport after learning what they could from YouTube videos. The league has made some serious strides since then and the second game of the night at 7 p.m. should prove to be the case. Castlegar’s Dam City Rollers look to be rising from their notorious third-place status and giving league champs, the Nelson Killjoys, a serious roll for the prestigious golden boot. The action starts at 5 p.m. (doors at 4 p.m.) Saturday at the Trail Arena, where the night will also boast an entertaining half-time show, beer garden, 50/50 and prizes. The fun will carry on at the after party held at RTRG’s club house, the Arlington Bar and Grill, where Gary Morissette will be performing live. RTRG will be on site at Ferraro Foods in Trail Friday between 3-6 p.m. Come by to purchase a ticket, pick up some new team merchandise or win one of 10 tickets by challenging your favourite derby girl to a plank off or arm wrestle.

Fish biologists took a major bite out of the pike population on the Columbia River this month. Biologists from the Ministry of Environment (MoE) and Mountain Water Research (MWR) netted close to 100 adult pike in Robson Reach over five days in a recent effort to suppress the spread of the invasive species on the Columbia River. “Pike are non-native potentially invasive species that we’ve been concerned about for a while,” said Senior Fish biologist Jeff Burrows. “So the purpose was to check out the feasibility of suppression netting to reduce pike numbers. We don’t expect we’re going to be able to eradicate pike, there is probably a chronic supply of them coming from upstream.” The source of the alien species is believed to have emerged from the United

States and Lake Pend d’Oreille system about five years ago. Since then, the Kalispell Tribe in Spokane and Washington State Fish and Wildlife have been very successful in reducing pike numbers in the Box Canyon Resevoir of the Pend d’Oreille River using nets, so Kootenay fisheries biologists and Jeremy Baxter from MWR utilized the same process in catching Columbia River pike. The nets are designed with different mesh sizes to trap pike at various stages of their lifecyle, yet, in the Columbia, mysteriously, no juvenile pike were caught. “All we did catch was adults,” said Burrows. “So who knows what’s going on there.” Although most of the pikes’ stomachs were empty, one mammoth pike that measured 90 centimetres and weighed about 19 pounds had a 40-cm. rainbow trout in its stomach.

But what is perhaps more alarming is that the netted pike were also spawning. “That’s an issue, that there could have been successful spawning, but we’re not sure in past years. Probably they’ve tried to spawn in the Robson Reach that’s downstream of Celgar . . . but it’s not clear that smaller pike or the bigger ones are from colonizers or from entrained fish upstream. But sure it’s a concern.” Despite catching spent and ripe spawners dripping with milt, Burrows believes the population may be smaller than at first anticipated, as the team also netted five of the tagged pike from MoE’s recent Pike Reward program. “It’s not a very robust estimator, because populations can move around, but there might be maybe 500 adults in that lower half of the Robson Reach, so we caught a good proportion of them.” The numbers taken in the nets also decreased over the weeks, suggesting a definite depletion in stock. The catch rates nearly halved with every netting, said Burrrows, an excellent indicator that the team of biologists and technicians were killing a good portion of the population. And yet another major

concern for fisheries is the potential spread of the alien species into the Arrow Lakes. “I think the jury’s out as to whether its a big problem. If that’s all it is in that reach, we can suppress them, and if we get on top of them we can really minimize it, however, if they get into the (Keenleyside Dam) lock and colonize the Arrow that would be a big problem.” While netting has proven to be a useful and successful tool in suppressing pike populations, local fisheries will need funding to continue the process. With Ministry resources unavailable, Burrows hopes to access funds from various environmental groups to continue the pike-suppression efforts, but, for the time being, will rely on local anglers to help keep the population in check. There is an unlimited retention quota for pike on the Columbia and anglers are encouraged to kill all pike caught. More importantly, Burrows encourages anglers to report catches of pike outside the Robson Reach, Seven Mile, and Waneta Reservoirs, indicating time, location, date, length, and a photo if possible to confirm species.

the current penchant for respected competitors (Lucic, Crosby) for spearing opponents in bottom of the groin, one of the dirtiest things a player can do, one would think the NHL has some explaining to do, and some changes to make. Either the league wants to curb injuries or it doesn’t. So far this post-season, their intentions in that regard are murky, to say the least. One wonders, if the Rangers advance to the Cup finals, how the teammates and defenders of Johnathan Quick or Corey Crawford will deal with the consistent danger of Kreider, and if they take the old-fashioned route of direct confrontation, how the NHL will deal with the players preemptively defending their netminders from that danger? I guess we stay tuned and watch it play out. This playoff year has provided a lot of excitement, but it is unlikely necessary for quite the level of violence/dirty play we have sometimes seen to make it so.

God is our refuge As I write I am thinking about a mother robin that has made a nest under our deck. She sits there for hours on end protecting the eggs in that little nest. As well each morning very early I am awakened by the sound and singing of other birds outside my window. In this and so many more things I see God our Creator. That little robin reminds me of God’s care for us. Like the mother robin, God shelters us and in Him we find our refuge. A verse from Psalms 46:1 tells us that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. The bird’s song early in the morning reminds me of praising our God. I think of them singing praises to Him at the start of the day. Another verse from

There are miracles around us every day. He shows Himself in the trees and flowers, in the birds, we see Him in the people we encounter each day. Why does He want us to see Him? So we can come to know Him and be a part of His family. We get a glimpse of how wonderful God is by His creation. I believe that is part of His plan to draw us to Him. We wonder who is this God that has made such an amazing and beautiful world. Once we begin to seek Him we also come to know that He loved us so much Jesus came

Pope meeting with abuse victims discounted as ‘just another gesture’ by group The Canadian Press Pope Francis says his plans to meet with a group of sex abuse victims at the Vatican is part of an effort to ``go forward’’ with ``zero tolerance’’ in confronting and preventing clergy abuse. But the head of a U.S. victims’ group has dismissed the upcoming session as `ànother gesture, another public relations coup’’ that could prove meaningless. The meeting with a half-dozen victims, announced on Monday, is being organized by Cardinal Sean O’Malley, the archbishop of Boston. It will mark the first such encounter for the pope, who has been criticized by victims for not expressing personal solidarity with them when he has reached out to “On this issue we other people who must go forward, suffer. forward. Zero `Òn this issue we must go fortolerance” ward, forward. Pope Francis Zero tolerance,’’ Francis said, calling abuse of children an `ùgly’’ crime that betrays God. He said the meeting and a Mass at the Vatican hotel where he lives would take place early next month. The Archdiocese of Boston said in a statement that the details of the meeting haven’t been finalized yet, and that O’Malley ``looks forward to supporting this effort by Pope Francis in whatever manner will be most helpful.’’ The Archdiocese said the meeting is expected to take place `ìn the coming months.’’ David Clohessy, executive director of the main U.S. victims’ group, Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, said the pope has shown himself to be capable of making real change in other areas such as church governance and finance but hasn’t done so in dealing with sex abuse by Catholic clergy. ``The simple truth is this is another gesture, another public relations coup, another nice bit of symbolism that will leave no child better off and bring no real reform to a continuing, scandal-ridden church hierarchy,’’ he said. Clohessy said the meeting `ìs just utterly, utterly meaningless.’’ But a U.S. attorney who represents clergy abuse victims said he hoped the meeting would be ``substantive and meaningful’’ rather than for cosmetic purposes. Boston attorney Mitchell Garabedian said ``meeting directly with victims is the most powerful tool that the pope can use in understanding the ugliness and horror of clergy sexual abuse and why it must be stopped or prevented.’’ He added that there should be more than one such meeting. The pope also revealed that three bishops are currently under investigation by the Vatican for abuse-related reasons, though it wasn’t clear if they were accused of committing abuse itself or of having covered it up. ``There are no privileges,’’ Francis told reporters en route back to Rome from Jerusalem.

City of Trail 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

In 2011, property owners in the Columbia Gardens industrial area petitioned the City to study the implications of extending its boundaries south. The study showed generally positive impacts for the property owners and benefits to the City. A Partnering Agreement between the City of Trail and Teck Metals Ltd., the majority landowner in the expansion area, will be entered into concurrently if the extension proceeds. The Agreement provides Teck Metals Ltd. with tax certainty and a declining share of tax revenue from 62% to 55%, while the City will receive from Teck a one-time community investment of $1,000,000 and annual investments of $225,000 indexed by the CPI for the 20 year term of the Agreement.
