Warfield Hall unveils new look this weekend BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
The Warfield Community Hall is ready for a look-see after undergoing an extensive facelift. The facility has been under construction since last fall and closed since January for the $800,000 project that includes new amenities and building code upgrades. Public speculation and ongoing curiosity about what’s happening behind closed doors prompted village staff and council to host an open house Saturday from 2-4 p.m., although there’s still a few unfinished details. “People have been asking about what we are doing,” said Warfield Mayor Bert Crockett. “So this is an opportunity for the public to have a walk through and see what we’ve done with their tax dollars. And it’s important because our hall is the hub of community.” The most sizeable facet of the project was upgrading the hall’s aged bones to bring the building’s plumbing, structural components and electrical panels up to code. Guests may notice how cool the hall is this weekend, because for the first time, air conditioning was installed along with a modern heating system for the colder months of the year. “Air conditioning was added, which was what we needed most,” said Crockett. “The hall is well used in the summer and was hot as heck,” he continued. “And the old heater in the corner that used to rattle and bang is gone, with a brand new HVAC system in place.” The centrally located hall has an enclosed park-like area with BBQ amenities, which has made the site a well used venue for weddings, parties, and community functions throughout the year.

Warfield Mayor Bert Crockett, along with village councillors and staff, is hosting an open house Saturday afternoon at the Warfield Community Hall. The event is being held to provide the public an opportunity to check out the facility’s $800,000 renovation project that includes some impressive modern amenities, including a spacious new kitchen. Now, with a spacious state-of-the art kitchen added to the rear of the building, people hoping to rent the facility may have to plan well in advance because the current wait list is about two-years. “It’s a perfect wedding or graduation venue,” said Crockett. “We were already
booked solid and with more people calling especially during the summer, we had to get this done.” The kitchen houses commercial grade appliances, including a large gas range, two convection ovens, a warming oven, a double-sized refrigerator and a stainless
steel dishwasher. “We started putting money away in 2007 after regional folded,” Crockett explained. “We knew we had to do the upgrades then and we decided to go the whole nine yards.” See RATES, Page 3
Basin culture tour in need of artists and visitors BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff
This weekend, people living and visiting the Greater Trail area have the chance to visit artists in their studios in the Columbia Basin Culture Tour. The tour runs on Saturday and Sunday and is free of charge so anyone can grab a map and go to see painters, sculptors, galleries, and other artists.
Natasha Smith with the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance says the tour is a great way for people to discover something new or visit a place they have never been. “It's a great way, if you haven't been to some of these places before, to explore,” she said. “It's a really good way to see a showcase of what the artist does and how they do it.” The tour involves visi-
tors picking up a map and planning a route through the different areas, visiting artisans, artists and galleries. Most of the dots on the map show tour stops in the Nelson and Castlegar area, with only a few near Trail. There are four artists in the area on the tour: two in Salmo, one in Trail and the other - weaver, felter, spinner and soap maker, Trisha Rasku - in Rossland.
“Lots of people (artists) won’t do it because they don’t get enough foot traffic.” TRISHA RASKU

thinks that is why there aren't more participants in the Trail area. “I have been a stop every time and I enjoy it. I don't get a lot of traffic and I would like a lot more,” she said. “Lots of people won't do it because they don't get enough foot traffic. I think the artists in this area are more in isolation.” Smith says it is hard sometimes to get artists to sign up, especially if they
don't have up-to-date contact information. “We've had more artists in those areas at different times,” she said. “We will get in touch with people that have participated before and sometimes it is just a life change or they have other things going on. Some are really proactive in signing up, but sometimes not. It just varies.” See PLAN, Page 2

Plan to get more artists engaged
FROM PAGE 1 Smith says part of the plan to get more artists signed up for next summer’s tour is to start getting the word out as soon as possible. “The more information we can get out at this time to encourage people for next year is great,” she said. “To really get artists and all of the heritage and cultural organizations to participate, I think taking the tour themselves in a good way
to get a sense of it.” Rasku thinks the tour is a great opportunity for any artist and would recommend signing up for next year. “I would definitely recommend it to other artists,” she said. “I think its a good thing.” The tour begins on Saturday at 10 a.m. with maps available at stops on the tour, tourist information centres and on the tour’s website at: www.cbculturetour. com.

Palyga Water line fix
Language heats up between City and CUPE workers By Jim Sinclair Castlegar News
The City of Castlegar has a labour-relations issue boiling to the surface during a mid-summer heat wave. City workers represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) are reportedly gearing up for job action in relation to a contract which had expired more than a year ago. Neither a deal, nor further bargaining appear imminent at this time and the Local 2262 membership is said to be holding strike training this week. Impatient with the level of progress in bargaining, union Local 2262 President, Leford Lafayette has expressed frustration over the stalemate existing since the last contract, which CUPE says expired in July, 2013, but the employer says wrapped up in February, 2013. “So far, the City has refused to discuss concerns about loss of work, has been unwilling to take concessions off the table and has even proposed a lower wage offer than in other Kootenay communities,” says Lafayette in an August 5 Market Wired press release. The same document includes the following quote from CUPE National Representative Lori Sutherland: “We want a fair and respectful contract so we can focus on serving the people of Castlegar - the last thing we want is a disruption to important public services.” The City of Castlegar asserts, in its own August 5 press release that “CUPE booked out the mediator and refused to take the City of
Castlegar’s final offer to a vote of the membership.” The City’s communique indicated its “final offer includes a wage increase of 5.75 per cent over four years, no concessions, and numerous monetary and language improvements for employees.” The City maintains employees are offered superior benefits in the municipal sector such as an increase in coverage for extended health benefits, paramedical services and optical care over the course of the agreement. “The Union has been holding the spectre of strike over the City’s head for too long,” CAO John Malcolm is quoted in the management press release. “This is demoralizing for staff, disruptive to the City and a costly process for taxpayers. It is no way to advance labour relations or the public interest.” Asked how literal the word ‘final’ in ‘final offer’ is, John Malcolm told the Castlegar News. “We really tried to reach a reasonable and respectful settlement, and we thought we had a very reasonable offer on the table,” said Malcolm. “They really haven’t come back to us on it.” Leford Lafayette said on Tuesday his local is eager “to get back to the table,” though they feel the employer has not been bargaining in good faith. He said job security is a key issue, declaring, “Management has been bolstering its ranks, having management personnel do bargain unit work “I know what it’s like to train someone to do my job... then be out the door. This hits home for me.”

explained the mayor, but the current $125 rental fee will only be raised slightly. “We don’t want to raise the price because we want the hall to remain well used,” he said. “There’s no use in fixing places up then raising the rent so high that no one can afford it. Rent will be a little bit more but not so substantial to make it unaffordable – the point is to keep the place busy.”

The project expanded the hall’s capacity from 150 people up to 203, which increases the likelihood of renting to larger consulting groups for business seminars, Crockett added. “We’ve already had inquiries for 200 seats and they did tell us the wheelchair accessibility makes this good venue for seminars. So now we’re on that list.”

The Palyga Drive water main replacement project has the West Trail access roadway closed until the fall. The Gorge Creek water line, buried deeper than 20 feet, is a main feed to over 300 homes in West Trail. After the pipe started to leak over the winter, the $115,000 project was launched earlier this year as one of seven City of Trail 2014 Water Capital budget projects. City workers were on site this week, raising the new water line to a level that provides better access should the utility require future repairs.
Jumbo
EcoSociety continues legal fight By Greg Nesteroff Nelson Star
A local non-profit society hasn’t given up its legal challenge to the incorporation of Jumbo Glacier mountain resort municipality. A year and a half after filing initial paperwork in the case, the Nelson-based West Kootenay EcoSociety has completed an amended brief asking the BC Supreme Court to quash the municipality’s creation. Executive director David Reid said in an interview Tuesday that when their original brief was submitted in February 2013, their arguments weren’t fully fleshed out. “We wanted to get our initial petition in as soon as possible, so people couldn’t say ‘You didn’t file soon enough.’ But it’s a complex case. It takes time to arrange legal precedents and do the research.” Reid said the amended petition clarifies their argument that a new municipality must have a local population as well as a defined area. They say Jumbo — which has no people and is not likely to for some time — contradicts common law principles of democracy and public interest. The society further asserts that “patchwork” amendments
108 Rosewood Dr Fruitvale
to the Local Government Act create “inconsistency and incoherence” to municipal legislation. “In the government’s rush to pave the way for the Jumbo Resort, they’ve deeply undermined the democratic process,” Reid said. The society also claims constitutional requirements were ignored in creating the municipality, resulting in an “unlawful and illegitimate body” that should not proceed with zoning and other matters without a court’s blessing. The amended petition was filed this week, a day ahead of a public hearing on zoning in Jumbo Valley to allow a day lodge and ski lifts. Proponent Glacier Resorts Ltd., which wants to operate a year-round ski resort on the glacier, still needs provincial permits to begin construction. The EcoSociety claims the developer hasn’t met all of the 195 legally-binding commitments as part of its environmental approval. The Environmental Assessment Office is investigating the complaints. Jumbo Resort was first proposed in 1991 and received environmental approval in 2004. However, the developer’s
environmental certificate will expire in October, ten years after initial approval, if the project has not “substantially started.” Jumbo Glacier mountain resort municipality was officially incorporated a day after the EcoSociety filed its first petition, and is governed by a mayor and two councillors, who hail from Radium Hot Springs, Fairmont Hot Springs, and Invermere. The provincial government gave the municipality $260,000 in start-up money last year, and a draft financial plan anticipates $1 million in further transfer payments over the next five years. The glacier is in the Purcell Mountains, on the divide between West and East Kootenay. Access is via Invermere. The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, which is named in the suit, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But the ministry and Jumbo municipality have both filed statements of defence and will have a chance to further respond to the EcoSociety’s latest documents. The municipality spent more than $10,000 in legal fees in 2013 dealing with the EcoSociety’s case.

PROVINCIAL MOUNT POLLEY MINE SPILL
Local emergency declared as investigation begins
THE CANADIAN PRESS LIKELY, B.C. - The president of Imperial Metals has apologized to residents living downstream from a toxic flood from one of the company’s gold and copper mines in the British Columbia Interior. Brian Kynoch told about 200 residents of Likely, B.C., 600 kilometres northeast of Vancouver, that the failure of the tailings pond at the Mount Polley mine has been stabilized but the investigation is just beginning. “I apologize for what happened,” Kynoch said at the emotion-
ally charged meeting Tuesday night. “If you had asked me two weeks ago if that could happen, I would have said it couldn’t happen, so I know that for our company it’s going to take a long time to earn the community’s trust back.” The breach released 10 million cubic metres of water and 4.5 million cubic metres of toxic silt into Polley Lake and Quesnel Lake. A ban remains in place on all consumption or recreational use of the Quesnel and Cariboo river systems from the spill site to the Fraser River, several hundred kilometres
away. Kynoch said the company will clean up the slurry that breached an earthen dam at the mine. Despite assertions that the company had been warned of potential problems, Kynoch said the dam had never before failed. Levels in the tailings pond were too high and there was some overflow into the creek in May, he said. “These things should not happen so we do need to know why it happened. It’s not just for this site. We need to know why that failed because it’s not supposed to fail.” B.C. Energy and
Mines Minister Bill Bennett said ministry inspectors were at the mine investigating the cause of the failure and Environment Ministry staff were conducting water tests to determine the full extent of environmental impacts. Al Richmond, of the Cariboo Regional District, said tests were being expedited and results are expected by Thursday. The regional district declared a state of local emergency early Wednesday. The move will allow access to additional resources that may be needed to further protect the pri-
vate property and government infrastructure in Likely. Kynoch said water from the tailings pond was “very close to drinking water quality,” though the silt the “ground-up rock” left over after extracting the metals - poses a problem. A summary of material dumped into the tailings pond last year was filed with Environment Canada. It said there was 326 tonnes of nickel, over 400,000 kilograms of arsenic, 177,000 kilograms of lead and 18,400 tonnes of copper and its compounds placed in the pond last
Mine spill threatens sockeye salmon run JEFF NAGEL Black Press
An estimated 1.5 million migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon are destined for Quesnel Lake, which has now been contaminated by the Mount Polley mine tailings pond spill. The Quesnel system sockeye make up a major portion of what’s hoped to be a record run this year, said Craig Orr, executive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society. “This is one of the greatest environmental disasters we’ve had on the Fraser,” Orr said. “Some of the effluent will be getting in the Fraser. The big question is how concentrated, how harmful it will be. Some of these compounds have short term impacts and some have much longer term impacts.” While the Quesnel Lake stocks are among the Fraser’s most abundant, Orr is par-
ticularly concerned that other much weaker stocks that spawn in other tributaries of the Fraser could be harmed. “People have to be concerned about not just what it means for the returning fish but for the juveniles rearing in the lake right now,” he said. “We don’t know if it’s going to accumulate in their bodies or potentially affect their olfactions, their ability to find their home waters.” Resident fish at risk include threatened bull trout and plentiful rainbow trout. At a news conference in Likely, Imperial Metals president Brian Kynoch said the water in the pond is tested with rainbow trout, and its arsenic level is one fifth of the limit for drinking water. He described the effluent as “relatively benign.” The huge spill of tailings and water tore down Hazeltine Creek, which is where endangered Interior coho salmon are supposed

to spawn in a few weeks. Gord Sterritt, executive director of the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance, said the group, which represents 23 First Nations from Williams Lake to the Fraser’s headwaters, had already raised concerns that planned releases of effluent into the creek by mine operator Imperial Metals might harm the coho. Chinook salmon also spawn near the outlet of Quesnel Lake at the Quesnel River. “Those fish will be holding or just about to enter the spawning grounds pretty quick,” Sterritt said. “We’re pretty concerned about what the toxic elements are going to do those fish. And then there’s the scouring of the debris pile that is potentially going to be moving down the lake and into the river.” Contamination that reaches the mainstem Fraser could affect fish spawning hundreds of kilometres away, such as in Stuart Lake near Fort St.

James. Sterritt said he’s fielding calls from First Nations as far downstream as Lillooet that are alarmed about the potential impact on their food fisheries. Kynoch said the pond water nearly meets drinking water standards and the main threat to fish is from the silt, which he said is settling rapidly. Sto:lo fishery advisor Ernie Crey said there remains widespread concern in aboriginal communities. “Eventually, this stuff will wend its way into the Fraser,” he said. Orr noted the spill came just three days after provincial government approval of the new KSM gold mine near the headwaters of the Nass River. The KSM project, near the Alaska border at Stewart, includes tunnels to carry ore 23 km away for processing and shipping, to satisfy Alaska’s concerns about fisheries and tourism.

year. “Specifically, mercury has never been detected in our water and arsenic levels are about one-fifth of drinking water quality,” Kynoch told residents. “We regularly perform toxicity tests and we know this water is not toxic to rainbow trout.” The water use ban is in place to “err on the side of caution,” Kynoch said. A logging company crew was able to tow a log jam away from the Quesnel River, averting potential flooding or damage to a bridge in Likely but residents were frustrated with the lack of information in the hours and days after the breach. Diane Gibson, owner of the post office and restaurant on the Likely riverfront, said she heard nothing until she went to nearby Williams Lake and overheard the news in a store. And Alfred Hillary,
a business owner who lives just below the mine, said their phones were out and he didn’t receive a phone call. He heard about the breach over his emergency responder radio. Hillary blamed the mine for failing to address earlier problems. But in the small community devastated by the downturn in the local forest industry, many residents were prepared to stand by the company. “This town relies upon Mount Polley, so we’re hurting,” Gibson said. “I, personally, don’t blame Mount Polley. There are lots of people who will point fingers. It is unnecessary to point fingers until we’re in full view of the facts. “Needless to say, it’s going to hurt us regardless of whose fault it is.” “We can be very, very thankful that nobody was hurt in this.”
First Nations shut down CN Rail line
THE CANADIAN PRESS TERRACE - The Gitxsan (git-SAN’) First Nation is shutting down the Canadian National Railway (TSX:CNR) line through Gitxsan traditional territories in northwestern British Columbia. The railway connects Prince Rupert’s busy port with the rest of Canada, but a release says the Gitxsan have no choice but to enforce evictions against CN, as well as any forestry operations and all sportfishermen inside claimed territory roughly the size of the Netherlands. The release says 54 hereditary Gitxsan chiefs met Monday with federal and provincial representatives and CN officials but could not resolve differences over parcels of land and rights claimed by the Gitxsan but offered by the Crown to two neighbouring Indian bands. Industry and sportfishing evictions were issued last month after the Supreme Court of Canada upheld First Nations title rights to claimed land and required aboriginal consent before any development proceeds. Gitxsan negotiator Beverley Clifton Percival says two years of work with both levels of government has not produced a solution for the region which includes 33,000 square kilometres of northwestern B.C., from Terrace to Smithers and north to Iskut and Bear Lake. The hereditary chiefs say they want to a settlement and they have invited federal and provincial representatives to meet Thursday in hopes of avoiding further closures.

Former Alberta premier steps down as Calgary MLA THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY - Former Alberta premier Alison Redford is resigning her seat in the provincial legislature, effective immediately. In an opinion article written for Postmedia newspapers, Redford, who has been sitting as a backbencher since the spring, acknowledges mistakes were made during her time as leader of the governing Progressive Conservatives. “In hindsight, there were many things I would have done differently,” she wrote. “That said, I accept responsibility for all the decisions I have made.” Jim McCormick, president of the PC party in Alberta, issued a statement that said Redford’s premiership “started off with such promise” but he added “it was her own personal choices that led to her demise.” “She is alleged to have broken government rules, and taxpayer dollars were not treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. She has paid a personal and political price for her mistakes and we appreciate her decision to take responsibility for her actions,” he wrote. “This circumstance won’t happen again.” McCormick said the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta “is more than one person.”
Redford resigned as premier in March after facing increased unrest within her caucus, fuelled by concerns over her leadership style and a $45,000 trip to South Africa for Nelson Mandela’s funeral. Redford and her aide flew to Ottawa, where the premier joined the prime minister’s entourage. Her aide, however, took a commercial flight to South Africa. He and Redford returned to Alberta first class on another commercial flight so she could attend the swearing-in of her new cabinet. She eventually paid back the money, but only after weeks of pressure and her repeated declarations that she would not. Since she left office, she has faced increased criticism over her travel habits. Last week, the CBC reported that a leaked review from Alberta auditor general Merwan Saher found that passenger lists on government aircraft were altered so that Redford could fly alone. Redford issued a denial via Twitter. She said she had fully co-operated with Saher’s investigation and “would be surprised if these allegations are true.” She also said “there was never any directive preventing others from flying on government aircraft when I was a passenger. In fact, on most occasions that I can
recall, when I was on government flights, I travelled with other elected officials, public servants and staff.” It’s expected that Saher’s full report will be released to members of the legislature and the public on Thursday. “I will leave it to others to analyze and comment on the past. I am sure that I will be asked to weigh in, but I will respectfully decline,” Redford wrote in her opinion piece Wednesday. “It is time to move forward.” Trained as a lawyer, Redford indicated she will teach and resume work in international development and public policy. There had been calls from within her own party to give up her Calgary-Elbow seat. Thomas Lukaszuk, one of the men vying to become the next leader of Alberta’s Conservatives, had called for an emergency caucus meeting to discuss Redford’s continued membership in the party. He said it is now time to move forward. “It’s a new chapter for Alberta. I wish everyone involved all the best on future journeys. Now is time to focus on tomorrow in Alberta,” Lukaszuk said on Twitter. Redford said in the letter that she will not accept a transition
Canada imposes sanctions THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Canada has slapped fresh economic sanctions and travel bans on some Russian and Ukrainian groups and individuals. The sanctions and bans come amid reports Russia is massing thousands of troops along the Ukrainian border. The measures, aimed at some 19 people and 22 groups and banks, follow previous sanctions and travel bans by Canada. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Russia’s occupation of the Crimean Peninsula and provocative military activity in eastern Ukraine is a “grave concern” to Canada and the world. Canada is prepared
to take further actions if Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government continues its military aggression, Harper said in a statement. “President Putin has not provided any indication that he is prepared to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity or use his control over Russianbacked agents to end the violence in Ukraine,” he said. “On the contrary, reports indicate that, despite the criminal downing of MH 17, Russia continues to provide logistical support and sophisticated weapons to its agents in eastern Ukraine.” Last month, all 298 people aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which was travelling
from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, were killed when the aircraft was shot down over contested territory in eastern Ukraine. Fighting is still raging in eastern Ukraine between government forces and pro-Russian separatists. Western leaders have accused Russia of building up forces along the border - a claim Russia denies.
also admitted taking a government plane to a family funeral in Vancouver and bringing a plane in to fly her back from a Palm Springs vacation. Then, within days of her resignation, it was revealed her office had intervened with the Infrastructure Department to make changes to the top floor of the Federal Building. The building, a block north of the legislature, is being renovated to house politicians, political staff and civil servants. In July 2012, Redford’s office ordered changes to the top floor to accommodate a “premier’s suite” complete with changing and grooming areas, a fireplace, separate temperature controls, a butler’s pantry and dining and study areas. Documents revealed $173,000 was spent on design work for what became known as “sky palace,” before the plans were scrapped. A Mount Royal University political scientist questioned the timing of Redford’s resignation as a member of the legislature Wednesday. “Redford made the right decision, but at the wrong time,” Duane Bratt said in a Tweet. “She should have resigned as MLA at the same time as she resigned as premier.”
Non-invasive surgery removes tumour
THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Doctors at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto have removed a benign tumour from a 16-year-old boy’s leg bone using a cutting-edge heat procedure that does away with any form of invasive surgery. Jack Campanile of Brampton, Ont., is believed to be the first pediatric patient in North America to be treated using high-intensity focused ultrasound, or HIFU, to destroy the tumour, called an osteoid osteoma. The procedure uses magnetic resonance imaging to precisely pinpoint the tumour, which is then zapped with heat-destroying ultrasound beams “What’s unique about MRI-guided ultrasound is it’s completely non-invasive, so there’s no incisions,” said Dr. James Drake, who leads Sick Kids’ Centre for Therapeutic Intervention.
“We can actually see what’s happening to the tissue adjacent to the bone, so we know we’re on target, and we can also tell the temperature we’re achieving is sufficient to destroy the lesion, but also not damage anything that’s nearby.”

She concluded by thanking her friends and family. “My family stood by me throughout and in the course of my political career there are some truly unique friends who have been volunteers and who have worked in my office,” she says. “I thank each and every one of them for their friendship and loyalty in the face of some very difficult circumstances.” There have been suggestions that there should be an RCMP investigation into Redford’s use of government aircraft. Opposition Wildrose finance critic, Rob Anderson, was the most definitive when he said the public has an expectation that politicians who may have broken the law should be investigated. Flight records from last spring showed Redford also took her daughter, Sarah, on 50 flights on government aircraft, including for two weekends in Jasper. The records simply list “meetings with government officials.” Shortly before her resignation as premier, Redford admitted to flying her daughter and her daughter’s friend around on a handful of flights and paid back the equivalent air fares.

U
nder Canadian laws, major projects are subjected to regulatory hearings conducted by panels possessing the necessary expertise to reach technically and environmentally sound decisions. Proponents and opponents make their cases for and against, recognizing that the tribunal will make the final determination of the project’s fate. That was before “social licence”, a term invented two decades ago by B.C. mining engineer James Cooney, morphed into an additional obstacle facing project sponsors. Cooney’s new term was meant to describe a process whereby local populations would be informed about a project and their feedback taken into consideration in final plan design. This logical and clearly important step has since burgeoned into the expectation that no project should proceed without gaining broad “social licence”, thereby presenting antidevelopment lobby groups with the opportunity to impact a project’s fate by fostering opposition not only from those directly affected, but the public at
large. In this dynamic, the playing field is almost always tipped against the project sponsor because, while opponents can make sensationally exaggerated and false allegations about a project without any fear of reprisal, even the smallest discrepancies in the project sponsor’s information are met with a chorus of strident criticism. A case in point is the huge effort that radical NGO’s have exerted to convince First Nation groups that Northern Gateway, one of the most robust and safest pipelines ever designed, would destroy their water supplies and pollute their soil. These same groundless tactics have been used in an effort to turn public opinion in B.C. and across the country against the project. But hidden carefully from both First Nations and the general public is the NGO’s real agenda, stopping development of the Canadian oil sands. The multi-national NGOs campaigning against Northern Gateway are also campaigning against the proposed Keystone XL pipeline which would supply U.S. oil refineries.
GWYN
MORGAN Troy Media
And the same scurrilous allegation tactics being used to rally opposition to Northern Gateway in Canada are being used to foment opposition to Keystone XL in the U.S. Sierra Club’s “Stop the Keystone XL” website alleges, “Dirty oil sands development is . . .decimating caribou populations . . . and wolves are being shot . . . from helicopters” . . . Really? San Franciscobased ForestEthics is conducting a “Stop the U.S. Demand for Canada’s Toxic Oil sands” campaign aimed at Keystone XL. It is also behind a “Clean up Your Transportation” campaign that has 19 major companies and two U.S. cities pledging not buy product from oil sands refineries.
Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and several other groups are also carrying out vigorous, well-funded anti-oil sands propaganda campaigns. As if this wasn’t enough to sway public opinion, rock stars and actors make well publicized “fact-finding” visits to the oil sands where, after their earnest industry hosts have proudly shown their efforts to minimize environmental impacts, the celebrities spout apocalyptic antioil sands diatribes for the media before roaring off in their oil-fueled private jets. Here again, in the court of public opinion, industry is badly out-gunned. If winning popular support against these tactics is the definition of “social licence”, then not only are the oil sands doomed, but also other Canadian resource development projects including mining and forestry. A clear indication of contempt for due process under the laws of our land came in the wake of the Federal Cabinet’s conditional approval of Northern Gateway. ForestEthics Oil Sands Campaign Director Ben West stated, “We will be helping organize non-
violent direct action trainings. We hope it doesn’t have to come to that, but we are getting organized to make sure folks will be safe if the courts fail to stop the project in time.” By the time large resource development projects reach the regulatory decision stage, many years and billions of dollars have been invested in identifying the resource, designing the facilities and the regulatory process itself. Shareholder support for these huge upfront risks is only possible if the regulatory process is clearly definable and the result enforceable. If “social licence” means demonstrating to regulators that best efforts have been made to consult and gain support from those directly impacted, then that is as it should be. But expecting project sponsors to win a public popularity contest against the fact distorting propaganda of ideologically anti-development NGO’s would bring Canada’s most important economic driver to a screeching halt.

Bull-a-Rama ‘Not a bust’
M
y name is Guy Thompson and I have been involved with Bull-a-Rama since its inception 13 years ago and would like to respond to the editorial regarding how much money the bull ridings have cost the City of Trail in the past years. In the article it was stated that since 2008, it has cost the city $91,000 with no mention of anything which came back. Here are a few examples of that side ... • The Trail Smoke Eaters have profited from beer sales and the Spud Shack revenue for the past 13 years. I do not have the exact figures, but I believe it
would be greater than the $91,000. Fundraisers like this go towards paying for ice time, and help to keep the franchise here in town. Without events like this coming to town there would be more vacant ice time, which in turn could result in layoffs of arena staff. • The Trail Old timers hockey club has worked on the beer gardens at the dance from the very first event, their profits would be $13,000, which in turn goes back to the city for ice time. • The Trail Horseman Society have been given every one of the 50/50 draws in turn for the rental of the rodeo grounds. This is a major fundraiser for that club, having
accumulated approximately $20,000. As a point of interest, the club was ready to fold due to lack of funds when the bull riding first happened. • Other groups, such as minor hockey, minor ball, rugby teams, fireman’s charities, Katimavic, girls hockey, J.L. Crowe graduating classes, Cancer Society, Ducks Unlimited have all been involved with financial gains over the years. There has been and still is tremendous support from the sponsors in the community. This event brings people to town for the weekend each year. The cowboys themselves talk all year about how well they are treated in Trail and look forward to coming to what has
been built into a topnotch event. Our committee takes pride in bringing an event to town that offers family entertainment. The Kiwanis Club brings the popular Mutton Busting event and Teck sponsors our rodeo clown. In closing, I would like to say I am proud to have been a part of this hard working committee that has brought bull riding to Trail for 13 years and thank the City of Trail for its unfailing support. I do believe that if all the figures were brought forward I am reasonably sure that the pluses would far outweigh the minus… $91,000. Guy Thompson Ta Ta Creek
Pedestrian bridge is the only option
T
here is no option for a ROAD BRIDGE in our future. The only options are for Pedestrian/ Pipeline Bridge or a stand alone Pipeline Bridge. I would like to support what Terry Hanik submitted to the Editor, Friday June 13th regarding the old Bridge Petition. I agree with Terry, as my biggest fear is that this petition will cause Trail to lose getting a bridge at all. Not having a pedestrian/ pipeline bridge will prevent the ability to continue a walking route around the river. As a Health Care provider in Trail I encourage walking for everyone. Like I say frequently to my patients “the human body is built to walk”. I see this as a necessary benefit for our community. Originally being from North Vancouver, I watched the seawall expansion on the North Shore develop and with it bringing many positive things to the areas it extends through and to the community as a whole. Trail is a community forward with its thinking regarding pedestrians, as it has covered its stairways and has incredible walking paths and trails around town. Another benefit to this community both for residential and business is to connect the business areas of East and
West Trail as the entrance for the bridge is close to Jubilee Park ending at McQuarre St. It would be truly sad to loose this walking route. We the residents of the City of Trail can not afford to sit by with inaction to the development of this town. By not supporting this pedestrian/pipeline bridge we reduce the ability to draw new families and people to our town. The new lifestyle is to be active, so why would we not capitalize on this to support our only water feature? Castlegar has realized that sustaining its Community means being proactive in supporting the lifestyle of the new generation. They are expanding their pedestrian options and increasing biking trails in their community. Are we not also a community trying to revitalize our town? In my opinion, the City is responsible for supporting tourism by providing opportunities for tourism. Having a pedestrian bridge gives local businesses an opportunity to benefit from the increase in foot traffic. We can hope that local business will CAPITLIZE on this opportunity. Bring in, for example, bike races, running/walking events or races as this opens up a safe route. There has been a specific request made to the Trans Canada Trail Network
for this route to be added as it will be the longest suspension bridge in North America! That is something to toot your horn about! It should also be considered you can not reverse engineer the pipeline bridge at a later date to add the pedestrian walk way. On the financial issue of keeping the Old Bridge, as it has been assessed by City Council the investment would only give the Old Bridge a life span another 10 years maximum. In my opinion, it would not be financially prudent or responsible to the tax payers of Trail to use their funds for such a short lived project. For those that have an emotional connection to the old bridge, I would support them in a campaign for a monument of a photo and history piece to honour the old bridge. I encourage people to get out and vote for this Pedestrian/ Pipeline Bridge . . . it is vital to the continued growth and development of our City. Let’s do our best to see that we get this Pedestrian/Pipeline Bridge. For more information go to Trail’s website at trail.ca or Facebook page or visit kevinjolly.blogspot.ca Lizette Tucker Trail

PEOPLE MAD TRAPPER DONATES FUNDS
OBITUARIES LEE, WILLIAM RICHARD (DICK) CPL RCMP (RET) – April 29th 1936 - July 30th 2014 After a 15 year battle with cancer, Richard has been called home to be with his Higher Power. His final journey was peaceful as he passed on the morning of July 30th. Richard is survived by his former wife Diane and their sons: Darrin (Paula), Dennis (Lisa); his 5 grandchildren: Mackenzie, Alexandra, Carson, Brayden and Kellen; his sisters: Anne Marie (Bob), Geraldine (Henry), Sylvia (Gene); his brother: David (Theresa); and numerous nephews, nieces and cousins. Richard’s greatest joy was spending time with his grandchildren and they will miss him dearly. Lastly, a special thanks to Geraldine Lee for being a big help in Richard’s final months. Richard was born in Erickson Manitoba, to Ingvald and Nellie Lee and he was the fourth, of seven children. After 18 years of Prairie life Richard joined the RCMP, and upon graduation, was posted to BC in 1957. He was transferred to many towns throughout BC where he made a great number of friends and acquaintances. Richard retired from the RCMP in 1981 and became an entrepreneur. He was the owner of Allgard Security in Trail BC, where he ran the business with his wife, Geraldine, for many years. Richard was an athlete, an outdoorsman, a coach and a contributor to the community. He loved to watch his sports and was an avid Smoke Eaters fan. A long-time member of Kiwanis, Richard spoke of the many friends he had made through the group. He was an avid fisherman and he loved to be out on his boat on Arrow Lake trolling for Kokanee, or on the ocean fishing for salmon. Richard was grateful for the care he was given by Dr. Trevor Aiken. In addition to Drs Scotland and Livingston, our family is grateful to all of the ER nurses at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, as well as the nurses and staff of the 300-wing at Columbia View Lodge, for making his final days comfortable. The compassion and care they provided was outstanding. A celebration of Richard’s life will be held on Sunday, August 31st at 1:00 pm at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #11, in Trail, BC. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements. As an expression of sympathy, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society at 908 Rossland Avenue, Trail, BC, V1R 3N6 would be greatly appreciated. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives. ca

First lady of children’s music turns 90
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO - Ella Jenkins has been recording children’s songs for at least 58 years, and she’s been entertaining and educating kids even longer. Not that the woman dubbed the “first lady of children’s music” pays too much attention to dates anyway, even as she celebrates her 90th birthday. “As long as I can function and contribute and still (be) in a situation where I’m eager to learn from others, I will do this,” she said. “I don’t count the years too much. If I have something to give and others have something to give me, we have a fair exchange.” Jenkins reached her personal milestone this week as she celebrates a professional one - the release of her 40th album of singalong songs for her favoured audience of preschool and elementary age children. “More Multicultural Children’s Songs” (Smithsonian Folkways) is a compilation of works done in the spirit of the people she’s met around the world, she says. “I wanted songs for people who haven’t heard everything I’ve done,” she said. “They know what I’ve done over the years. I just said we are going to have more of those type songs. Something new and something old. People will be able to sing the songs from the beginning as well as learn new songs.” Jenkins’ style, which has garnered numerous accolades over the years, including a 2004 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, has seldom strayed from her 1957 debut album, “Call and
Response: Rhythmic Group Singing.” In that work, she channeled the calls of African-American slaves. It encouraged audience participation and allowed her to build a relationship with her young listeners. Her audience often sits close enough to touch her, watching, listening and responding to her multilingual, multicultural music that incorporates instruments that influenced her own childhood - the harmonica, ukulele, piano and percussion among them. Anthony Seeger, an emeritus professor of ethnomusicology at UCLA’s Herb Albert School of Music, says teachers love Jenkins’ music. “It’s fun. It teaches rhythm. It teaches children how to collaborate, because they have to sing together. And it gives them something to do other than to sit quietly,” he said. Born in St. Louis on Aug. 6, 1924, Jenkins was raised in Chicago, where one of her early musical memories includes listening to an uncle play the harmonica and the sounds of spirituals and gospel music drifting in from a nearby church. Jenkins says she never expected to grow up and have children’s music be a great part of her life. However, she says that over the years it’s been nice teaching songs, rhythms and rhymes to children. “To serve children well you have to like them and feel they have something to share,” said Jenkins. “You respect them. You respect their thoughts and aspirations, and their accomplishments.”
MARILYN BURNS
Horror heroine broke new ground for female roles THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON - Actress Marilyn Burns, perhaps best known as the heroine in the 1974 horror classic “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” has died at her Houston-area home. She was 65. Her manager, Chris Roe, confirmed Wednesday that Burns was found unresponsive by a family member on Tuesday. The Harris County medical examiner’s office has not determined a cause of death. Burns’ career included roles in several horror films spanning 40 years, including last year’s “Texas Chainsaw 3D.” The 3-D version debuted at No. 1 at the box office when it was released, a testament to the continuing popularity of the franchise. In the 1974 film, her character was the only one among a group of friends to escape the rampage of the chainsaw-wielding maniac Leatherface. Burns appeared in another horror film, “Sacrament,” that was released this year. Roe said Burns played an important role in establishing that women could play the hero in film. “What made Marilyn stand out in my mind is that she was an incredibly gracious and giving person,” Roe said. “She always had a smile, no matter what. I don’t think you can find a person who had a negative thing to say about her.”
WALTER MASSEY
‘Lassie’ star helped establish actors’ union THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL Toronto-born actor Walter Massey, a veteran of the stage and screen and staunch supporter of performers’ rights, has died. The Montreal branch of Canada’s performers’ union says Massey died Monday at a hospital in the city. He was 85. Massey performed at major theatres throughout Canada and starred in TV series including “Lassie,” in which he played Doc Stewart. He also helped establish the Canadian Actors’ Equity Association and the Montreal arm of the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists (ACTRA). Born Walter Edward Hart Massey II, he had a prominent lineage: His father was politican Denton Massey and

his cousins included former governor general Vincent Massey and acclaimed actor Raymond Massey. Massey began acting after studying mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He performed at esteemed venues including the New York Shakespeare Festival, the Stratford Festival in southwestern Ontario, Ottawa’s National Arts Centre and the Manitoba Theatre Centre. At Montreal’s Mountain Playhouse, he served as resident director, and he cofounded the Kings Theatre in Prince Edward Island and the Piggery Theatre in Quebec. His other TV roles included Tom Temple in “Family Court” and the voice of Principal Haney in TV’s “Arthur.”

Champions in Stingrays qualify for provincials the making HOCKEY
BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff
Even though it is hitting record-high temperatures outdoors, students will be lacing up their skates and hitting the ice at Cominco Arena this weekend for the annual Champions Hockey School. Instructor Terry Jones says the school is going to help students hone their hockey skills, but also have a good time. “I think the most important thing is for the kids to have fun on the ice,” he said. “If they are having fun, then all the other skills we teach, the kids will want to learn them.” Learning more about the game of hockey isn't just about on-ice practices, says the Beaver Valley Nitehawks’ coach, but also about building certain characteristics off the ice as well. “We do teach leadership and team building off the ice, and the main thing for us is that we want it to be a positive experience,” he said, adding that respect and discipline are also on the list of skills to teach. “We have a lot of fun, but at the same time, we have an expectation level for their behaviour and for respect.” The school teaches three groups and each learns different skills. “We have our youngest group (age 5 and up) and for them we are really focused on fundamentals,” said Jones. “As the groups progress, we combine teaching the fundamentals with technical skills. We go through team concepts and even off-ice conditioning.” Jones says his ultimate goal with the school is to teach the kids something they didn't know before and giving the students something to look forward to for next summer. “We try and make it so the kids think, 'whoa that was a great experience and I want to go back next year,” he said. Registration for the Junior Prep class at the school has been full for months and Jones says he thinks it is because of the instructors, led this year by Quinnipiac University’s assistant coach Reid Cashman, and the quality time the players get to have together. “It is a collection of some of the best hockey prospects in the area who train together for a week,” he said. “We have an NCAA coach that runs the program, so I think it's an opportunity for young guys to get some exposure to an NCAA coach and show him their stuff.” Along with exposure to coaches and the fundamentals of the game, Jones says one of the most important things about the school is getting a bunch of hockey players together in one room. “It's a team sport and it is a social thing too,” he said. “Some people don't realize that one of the best parts about hockey is the social nature of it. It comes with the opportunity to sit in the dressing room, have fun with your friends and talk.” The Champions Hockey School runs from Aug. 10 to 16 and Jones says while their Junior Prep class is full, there are still a couple of spaces available in the younger groups for those that want to register.

Sharks, Kings take rivalry outdoors Division foes to play in 49ers new stadium THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO - The San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings are going to take their rivalry outdoors next season. The NHL announced Wednesday that the Pacific Division foes will meet at the San Francisco 49ers’ new home on Feb. 21. The $1.2 billion Levi’s Stadium beat out the San Francisco Giants’ cozier confines at AT&T Park for the game, which is part of the NHL’s Stadium Series.
Levi’s Stadium seats about 68,500 for football, and the weather in Santa Clara is typically warmer and drier than in the more scenic San Francisco, which is about 45 miles north. This will be the second straight year the NHL has staged an outdoor game in California. The Anaheim Ducks beat the Kings 3-0 at Dodger Stadium in front of an announced crowd of 54,099 on Jan. 25. The NHL’s first outdoor game in Northern California features a fierce matchup to add to what should be a scintillating spectacle of ice in

thrilling new dimension to the Kings-Sharks rivalry,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement. The NHL has been taking its game to iconic outdoor venues more and more over the last decade. Boston’s Fenway Park, Chicago’s Wrigley Field and Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor are just a few of the notable names to host hockey in recent years. The league previously announced that the Washington Capitals would host the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2015 Winter Classic on Jan. 1 at a site to be determined.

In the latest and perhaps most dramatic chapter of the playoff history between these teams, the Kings eliminated the Sharks in the first round last season to become the fourth team in league history to win a best-of-seven series after losing the first three games. Los Angeles went on to win its second Stanley Cup in three years. “The growing excitement around NHL hockey in California, the intensity of last season’s playoff series between these teams and the state-of-the-art setting at Levi’s Stadium will bring a

Superbowl rematch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER - When the Seattle Seahawks visit the Broncos for a preseason kickoff tonight, they’ll see a Denver defence that was reshaped with them in mind - along with a team still smarting over all that trash talk during and after the Super Bowl. The Broncos responded to that 43-8 shellacking by adding thumpers DeMarcus Ware, T.J. Ward and Aqib Talib in free agency. Bruised leg permitting, Ware will make a cameo appearance in what promises to be an intense start to the preseason at Sports Authority Field before the starters give way to backups for the bulk of the night. “It’s going to be fun,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “It’s a great opportunity to play an incredible football team. They’re a tremendous team and they’ve got some great additions to their team I know they’re really excited about seeing. We’re anxious to see what they look like too, knowing that we’re going to see them in the season.” The teams meet up Sept. 21 at Seattle. “So it’s a really cool matchup,” Carroll said. “I’m sure there’s a lot of people who will have a lot of interest in this thing.” Count Broncos defensive tackle Terrance Knighton first among them. He wasn’t happy with all the trash talk going on during and after the Super Bowl, including linebacker Bobby Wagner’s suggestion that the Broncos were intimidated by Seattle’s defence that night in the Meadowlands. “You hear things like we were scared and things like that. As an athlete and a professional ... you take it personal,” Knighton said. “And they’ll hear about it and they’ll feel it when we play them.” Most members of the Broncos and Seahawks don’t put much stock in the statements that could be made Thursday night, but Knighton said that 35-point loss still stings. “Everybody might not say it, but it’s definitely in the back of people’s minds,” he said. During off-season weight training, the Broncos took to hollering, “35!” whenever the grind was wearing on them. “I think the entire team has been motivated,” Peyton Manning said after Denver’s annual summer scrimmage last weekend. “We’re trying to get better, trying to be a better team than we were last year but that started back in April when we got back on the off-season program.”

Feelings of love can be confusing at thirteen Mailbox
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
really love him with all my heart. -- Little Brother Dear Brother: Thinking you are in love with a sibling is actually not that uncommon. When you are 13 and going through a great many physical and hormonal changes, it is easy to think that the strong, loving feelings you have for Tommy may be romantic in nature. You admire him, appreciate him and want to be close to him. The important thing is to understand that these feelings will be replaced by more appropriate ones as you get older. Until then, you can discuss these feelings with
Emma’s parents how to eat. Your intentions are good, but there is no way to do this without sounding as if you are lecturing and criticizing them. The same goes for your daughterin-law. Instead, concentrate on your son. Surely, he grew up with healthier eating habits and knows the difference. Encourage him to help Emma stay healthy, because this is something that will affect their future children. Then stay out of it. Dear Annie: You missed the boat with “Maisie’s Mom,” whose daughter won’t let the dog live with them after she promised she could. You admitted that Mom is a victim of a bullying and abusive daughter, but then said she might have to apologize anyway in order to keep seeing her little grandson. Mom owes NO ONE an apology. She should find a place to live with Maisie and move
on. Perhaps when the grandson is older, he will choose to be a part of his grandmother’s life. In the meantime, Mom can volunteer at a school to be with children. Life is too short. -- Amazed and Appalled Dear Amazed: A great many read-
ers thought “Maisie’s Mom” should keep the dog and cut her daughter and grandchild out of her life. That is her choice, but we know many parents would not think that is a satisfying solution. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy

your Mom, your school counselor, your doctor or a trusted adult relative or neighbor. Dear Annie: Our son married a wonderful girl last fall, and we love her and her parents dearly. There is only one problem. Their eating habits are atrocious. “Emma” cooks nothing but high-fat, high-sugar food. Her mother cooks the same way. Since marrying, our son has put on a lot of weight, and all of them could lose a few pounds. Her father is having gallbladder issues but refuses to change his diet. I have offered to help Emma learn new recipes, but she isn’t interested. I love these people and want to help them develop better eating habits, but I don’t want to make them angry by sticking my nose in where it doesn’t belong. How do I help? -- Mom-in-Law Dear Mom-inLaw: Please don’t tell

Dear Annie: I am a 13-year-old boy and can’t talk about this with anyone I know. My father isn’t in my life. It never mattered because I have the best older brother anyone could ask for. “Tommy” is 21, and he is my hero. He helps me with my homework, teaches me about life, takes me places, protects me and loves me unconditionally. But here’s the problem. I think I’m in love with him. Is that possible? He’s all I can think about. I’m not gay. I like girls. I have never felt this way about any other guy. Tommy has a girlfriend, and they plan to get married. He’s never done anything to make me think he has other feelings for me, although he’s very affectionate. He gives me hugs and kisses the top of my head. Is there something seriously wrong with me? Should I tell Tommy how I feel? I

Park street construction Sheri Regnier photo
People passing by Park Street in East Trail may be curious what the big pile of rubble is doing in the middle of the roadway. After an aging retaining wall in a residence adjacent to Park Street was crumbling and ready to fall down due to years of hydrostatic pressure, K& M Contracting Ltd. was awarded the job of tearing down the old barrier and digging deep to replace the abutment with a modern engineering design.
