Rossland, Trail chambers one step closer to merger

The J.L. Crowe 2015 grads were hard at work all day Saturday, sorting and collecting empty bottles at the Trail bottle depot to raise money for their graduation weekend. The class raised nearly $2,700 to help with its ceremonies.

The Trail and District Chamber of Commerce could soon see a big boost in their membership numbers. The local chamber office is looking into joining ranks with the now defunct Rossland chamber, adding member businesses to Trail's existing list. The two chambers held a joint meeting in late March to discuss the potential merger and last week, the Rossland board and chamber members voted in favour of the merger in their own meeting. However, Norm Casler, the executive director of the Trail chamber, says there are still plenty of steps to take before anything becomes official. “Last month's meeting with the Rossland chamber to discuss the possible merger was just the first step in a series of consultations See MERGER, Page 3

Website uses data to paint picture of local communities BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Think you know your neighbourhood? So does a new online tool that sorts out the Canadian landscape by postal code, then spits out a description of the community that surrounds it. Trail, for example, is considered a “Serenity Springs,” for mostly retirees who seek the lifestyle of a small and sleepy town.

Annual household income averages about $75,000 with housing tenure split between owners and renters who are 55 and older. “Unlike upscale tidy retirement communities, the rustic towns in Serenity Springs are filled with lower middle income seniors who are aging in place and watching their wallets. In these traditional homes, the men fish and go boating, the

women stay home to cook and garden though both enjoy taking in a craft show or two.

Entertainment usually means travel to another community for events like dinner theatre, figure skating or shopping. Reflected by the low rates in visiting other countries, the people are less interested in travelling further, preferring to vacation in a provincial park,” says the website. Created by Environics Analytics, the two-year project compiled data from Statistics Canada, (2006 and 2011 Canadian

census) and other marketing partnerships, according to Daniel Heuman, the company's vice president of custom research. Heuman developed the system, called the PRIZM5, which consists of 68 snapshots that incorporate demographics such as age, income, unemployment rates, occupation, and dwelling types into a lifestyle description via postal code.

Dot Night in Salmo Kevin Macintyre photo

Over 350 Salmo and Area G residents were at the Salmo Valley Youth and Community Centre last Wednesday for the 2015 Columbia Basin Trust Dot Night. Each person received five dots, representing $34 apiece, and determined which of the 31 groups and organizations would receive funding for their projects. The CBT funds are allocated on a per capita funding formula and are distributed once a year to CBT’s local government partners including the regional districts of Central Kootenay and Kootenay Boundary.

FROM PAGE 1 “We put all of that into this big stew and distilled it down into different neighbourhood types,” he explained. So, don’t be alarmed if it doesn’t sound like you, Heuman added. “The key is we are not describing you,” he told the Trail Times by phone. “We don’t have any personal information in the system at all. So it may not reflect the individual reading the description, but it is characteristic of the neighbourhood and the people around them – based on aggregated data.” The information is easily accessed by visiting environicsanalytics.ca, clicking on the “PRIZM5 Lifestyle Lookup” link, then typing in a postal code. According to the website, Rossland and Nelson both have something in common – their populace is knee deep in the “Suburban Scramble.” While the average income, about $82,000 is higher than surrounding communities, the people are a mixed bag of young, lower and middle income suburbanites. Housing tenures are about equal between renting or owning, and while the primary occupation is the service sector, levels of education vary. Another aspect to the scram-

FROM PAGE 1 and explorations that will take place over the next couple of months to see if this will proceed,” he said, adding that now it is time for the Trail chamber members to have their say. “The next step will be for the Trail chamber to call a special general meeting, ideally by the end of May to give our members a chance to discuss the idea, the opportunities and any concerns they may have.” Casler says the opportunity to join forces with Rossland could move the chamber forward. “One of the main benefits, of course, is strength in numbers,” he said, adding that the merger promotes togetherness in the Greater Trail area. “We are already the largest voice of business in our own communities and merging will only make that voice louder. “This speaks to the whole regional collaboration initiative and gives us a stronger voice locally and regionally, but also with the BC Chamber of Commerce, the provincial government and on a national level with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Many people don’t realize that their membership goes far beyond our own communities.” The next regular board meeting at the Trail chamber is on May 11.

ble, is there’s more singles and young families. Date night could mean tickets to a jazz or country music concert, or cheering for the local hockey team. However, the Suburban Scramble includes a higher rate of divorce and lone parenting than average. That factor keeps the bars and nightclubs hopping at very high rates, says the site, adding, “provided, of course, they can get a sitter for the kids.” Members of this section clip weekly coupons from community and daily papers, shop in discount grocery stores and eat a lot of fast food. Hobbies range from woodworking, crafts and stamp collecting to sports like fishing and bowling. Further east in the Beaver Valley, excluding Montrose, are the Fresh Air Families. This sector is generally middle aged middle income exurbanites who average a $102,000 income. The neighbourhoods feature a mix of middle aged couples and families with children of all ages, and is one of the largest and fastest growing groups across Canada. Most adults have post secondary education or trade school and most enjoy a two-income household with well paying jobs in health care, public adminis-

tration and the trades. The homes are newer, usually single dwellings built in the 1990s, with nine out of ten commuting by car to jobs nearer the suburbs. Fresh Air Families enjoy the outdoors, and typically park boats and campers in their driveways alongside a pick up to haul them to parks and campgrounds. Interestingly, five kilometres west in Montrose, people are living well while emptying their nests. Income averages for “Emptying Nests” is around $103,000 in white collar jobs and most own their own homes. Half the households are nearing retirement while earning about $104,000 annually. Most are college or university educated and enjoy cultural event like the ballet, opera and film festivals. Many have both time and money to travel to Europe, Australia and Asia – but will not spend the whole nest egg because they’ve expressed interest in leaving a legacy. While entering postal codes can lead to an entertaining read about Canada’s cities and towns, the tool caters to businesses that want to dig into their customer demographic. “Today’s organizations want to better understand who

their customers are and how they can build more meaningful relationships with them,” says Jan Kestle, the company’s founder and president. “By using PRIZM5 to make their marketing campaigns more relevant, marketers can ensure their efforts will be more effective and their businesses more successful.” Elsewhere in the region, Grand Forks, Castlegar and Salmo all have something in common - they are “Active and Aging” communities with primarily older and mature lowermiddle income households. The average annual income nears $77,000, and most own their homes through careers in mixed occupations with varying levels of education. Found in towns across Canada, aging and active consists of older families and empty nesters living in modest, single detached homes. Half the households are over 55, but still work in blue collar or agricultural jobs. Residents prefer the outdoors, actively engaging in walking, fishing, hunting and cycling or riding ATVs and motorcycles on their local open roads. When the mood strikes, a night of dancing is in order at the local watering hole, though community theatre and local concerts are largely supported.

Vancouver mayor calls oil spill a ‘wake-up call’ THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - Efforts were progressing Sunday to remove the remaining globs of bunker oil that spilled into Vancouver’s English Bay last week as the Coast Guard continued to answer criticism of how it responded to the situation. It appeared the south shore of the bay was largely free of oil that leaked from a cargo ship, but small amounts were still detected. Efforts were continuing to clean up fuel oil that washed up along other parts of the shoreline, Asst. Commissioner Roger Girouard told a news conference on Sunday. The oily sheen that can be seen in the waters of English Bay amounts to about half a litre out of the 2,700 litres that leaked from the MV Marathassa, Girouard said. “We’ve captured the lion’s share, I cannot say that we captured it all, we never get it all,” said Girouard, who added it was still not known if any oil sank to the sea bed, but it was considered unlikely. Fewer birds have been exposed to oily water than originally thought about a dozen birds are being cared

for but all seem to be in good shape, Girouard said. “I’m told they are lively and doing fine.” Scientists were also looking to assess any longer term effects, gathering data in preparation for water tests. The Coast Guard also made efforts to clear the air about its handling of the spill, issuing a timeline of how it responded when it first learned of the spill last Wednesday. Both Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and B.C. Premier Christy Clark harshly criticized the Coast Guard’s response, saying it took too long to contain the spill. The Coast Guard has strongly disagreed, saying 80 per cent of the spill was contained within 36 hours, which it rated as an excellent response. Girouard acknowledged on Sunday there were some communications breakdowns and one major deficiency was that Robertson wasn’t notified of the spill as quickly as he should have been. “I understand his frustration,” Girouard said. “There were a number of human factors where the intent to

get the word out either broke down or even when the conversation occurred, the understanding of what the situation was or the import just failed in the relay. “A short circuit occurred.” On Sunday afternoon, Robertson commended the work of the Coast Guard but repeated his criticism of the overall response time. He added that the spill’s proximity to the city’s downtown meant that a higher standard should have been expected. “I don’t think people in Vancouver think taking five hours to respond with booms and cleanup crews is reasonable,” said Robertson, describing the incident as a big wake-up call. “I think we’d expect a quicker response that.” Robertson added that the city was working to develop a volunteer monitoring program after more than 4,000 Vancouverites reached out to offer their help in the wake of the spill. Assessments are ongoing to determine the amount of residual fuel that remains in the water column and on the ocean floor.

Council won’t recognize clothing-optional beach By Dan Walton

Penticton Western News

Nude beach-goers said they have no plans to stop sunbathing at Three Mile Beach despite a city council decision to not officially recognize it as clothingoptional. Okanagan Naturist Society spokesman Dustin Wolchina said that the society will be meeting with Penticton RCMP to understand what their position is, considering all the attention the beach has received since last summer. He said that naturists will show a pres-

ence in the Okanagan this summer regardless. At last week’s city council meeting two councillors voted against a motion which saw the city refrain from taking any accommodating actions. Although no councillor said they were opposed to the idea of naturism. Councilor Helena Konanz said that while enforcing against public nudity may be out of a municipality’s reach, council could look into increasing RCMP resources to address the matter. “Special interest groups,

no matter the interest, don’t take precedent over the general public,” said Coun. Campbell Watt. “The general public is everyone,” said Coun. Tarik Sayeed, who voted against the resolution to do nothing. Sayeed instead favours installing signage that recognizes the clothing-optional use without condoning it. If signage were considered, it would have to be worded vaguely, as municipal governments don’t have the authority to promote or forbid such activities.

“It’s a little frustrating, it seems we can’t enforce and we can’t condone,” Mayor Andrew Jakubeit said. “[The resolution which passed] doesn’t resolve the tension between the neighbourhood and the naturists who want to be there.” But ignoring the situation won’t make it go away, Coun. Andre Martin argued — who casted the other vote against the resolution. “We’re kidding ourselves if we think people aren’t going to go there and do what they’ve been doing for the past 80 years,” he said.

Rail Trail opposition takes shape By Kevin Parnell Vernon Morning Star

Opponents of the attempted acquisition of the CN Rail corridor in Lake Country say the provincial government’s announcement to kick in $7.2 million towards the rail purchase is just another attempt to sway a growing no-side in an upcoming referendum that could decide the fate of the proposed deal. Several high profile residents have come forward in opposition to the rail purchase as word of official no campaigns start to filter out in Lake Country in advance of the April 25 referendum. Residents are being asked to approve a $2.6 million loan by the District of Lake Country, the final piece in a $22 million deal between Kelowna — also representing Lake Country and the Regional District of North Okanagan — and CN Rail. “It’s nothing new,” said Ron Volk, a retired long-time resident of Lake Country, who gathered several key residents together to talk about their opposition to the deal. “We knew this was coming. They picked an opportune time to commit to it because they see what’s happening with the no side.” What’s happening, according to Volk, is a strong push against the purchase of the rail corridor from residents concerned about future costs of the trail. Among the latest residents to voice concern is a former councillor who sat for 12 years on Lake Country council until retiring last fall. Barbara Leamont says the people she has talked to are not only concerned about future costs associated with maintenance, policing and development of the rail corridor but also other issues in Lake Country such as roads, water and sewer. And she says the district has been less than forthcoming to the public, making it hard for people to make an informed decision. A representative of the Lake Country Rail Trail Action Team says their phone polling is showing a close split in the yes and no sides. The Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative, a Vernon-based volunteer group, has committed to raising $5 million towards trail maintenance and development and says there are many matching grants available to help offset future costs.

Reform or abolition of Senate easier said than done

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Revelations from Mike Duffy’s fraud trial and a looming audit report on the expense excesses of his fellow senators will doubtless fuel demands for an overhaul or outright abolition of Canada’s reviled Senate. But before they get carried away on a wave of outrage, it’s worth remembering just what changing or getting rid of the Senate altogether would entail - and to consider whether the cure might be worse than the disease. Q. What would it take to reform the Senate? A. In a landmark decision last April, the Supreme Court of Canada advised that even modest reforms proposed by the Harper government - term limits and a non-binding, “consultative” election process for choosing senators and would require constitutional amendments approved by both houses of Parliament and at least seven provinces representing 50 per cent of the country’s population (the 7/50 amending formula). Q. What would it take to abolish the Senate? A. The top court set that bar even higher: a constitutional amendment approved by Parliament and all 10 provinces.

Q. So why not amend the Constitution? A. Easier said than done. There is no consensus among the provinces about reforming or abolishing the Senate. Even if there were, it’s unlikely constitutional negotiations could be confined strictly to the Senate. The Quebec government has said that any talks about the Senate would have to be broadened to deal with that province’s “historical requests,” such as recognition of its distinctiveness and demands for more powers - the same divisive issues on which the last two constitutional ventures, the Meech Lake and Charlottetown accords, foundered. First Nations leaders would likely insist that aboriginal issues be part of the mix as well. Despite the hurdles, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair is willing to give constitutional negotiations a shot in order to achieve his party’s long-sought goal of abolishing the Senate. But Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau want nothing to do with wading back into a constitutional quagmire from which the country barely emerged intact last time. Q. Could the prime minister indirectly kill off the Senate by refusing to fill vacancies or choking off its funding?

A. That may have crossed Harper’s mind. He has not appointed a senator since March 2013, when the Senate expense scandal was heating up. There are now 18 vacancies. However, in its historic ruling, the Supreme Court made it clear that the Senate can’t be abolished by stealth. Section 42 of the Constitution specifies that the powers of the Senate and the number of senators for each province are among those things that can be changed only with a 7/50 amendment. That section “presupposes the continuing existence of a Senate and makes no room for an indirect abolition of the Senate,” the court said. “It is outside the scope of s. 42 to altogether strip the Senate of its powers and reduce the number of senators to zero.” Whatever his inclination, Harper appears to have accepted that he’ll have to start appointing senators again at some point. His government leader in the Senate, Claude Carignan, last month told senators: “I firmly believe that the prime minister will adhere to the existing constitutional process for appointments and make wise choices at a time he deems suitable, or in other words, from time to time, as the Constitution stipulates.”

Vancouver lawyer Aniz Alani is hoping to make that time sooner rather than later. He’s asking the Federal Court to declare that Senate vacancies must be filled within a reasonable time. Q. So, can nothing be done about the Senate without reopening the Constitution? A. Practical things can be done to change the way the Senate operates. Trudeau demonstrated that last year by turfing all senators from the Liberal caucus in a bid to return the Senate to its intended purpose as an independent chamber of sober second thought. Should he become prime minister, he has promised to create a blue chip advisory panel to recommend non-partisan appointments to the Senate. Senators themselves have tightened spending rules and are voluntarily being more open about their expenses. They’ve set a precedent by inviting the auditor general to audit their expenses and, once he reports in June, they’ll likely tighten rules further. Other things could be done, such as televising proceedings in the chamber, but nothing as dramatic as the wholesale reform or outright abolition many Canadians tell pollsters they want.

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO Ontario will adopt a cap-and-trade system to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Premier Kathleen Wynne said Monday before she travelled to Quebec to sign a deal with that province. Wynne offered scant details on how the system would work and said specifics will come later. “It would be irresponsible of us to speculate on exactly what the costs are going to be when we haven’t worked to design the mechanism yet,” she said in Toronto. That will come in the next six months, she added. Her announcement comes seven years after Ontario first signed onto the Western Climate Initiative with Quebec and California. Estimates from Quebec and California peg the increased cost on the price of gasoline to be between two and 3.5 cents - which Wynne characterized as “small” potential increases. Climate change is already imposing costs on society, damaging crops and increasing insurance claims, she

said. Under a cap-andtrade system businesses will have a greenhouse gas quota and be able to sell credits to reward efficiency and innovation, Wynne said. Companies that want to burn more fossil fuels can buy carbon credits from those that burn less than they are allowed. Money raised through the system will be reinvested in green technology and green infrastructure, the premier said. O n t a r i o ’ s P r o g r e s s i v e Conservatives are skeptical that funds from what they’re calling a “tax on everything” will just be diverted to general revenues in a province struggling to eliminate a $10.9-billion deficit. Right now companies are allowed to spew pollutants into the

atmosphere for free, but everyone is paying the costs, Wynne said. “Call it carbon pricing, cap and trade, a market mechanism or - I believe it’s misleading - but if you must, go ahead and call it a tax,” she said. “Most of us will not be fooled because for most of us the label is not important. What’s important is that we make progress.” The Ontario NDP supports the idea of carbon pricing, but critic Peter Tabuns said for the cap-andtrade announcement to be made with no policy or numbers is “bizarre.” Environmental groups applauded Ontario’s announcement, but said the program must contribute “meaningfully” toward the province’s target of reducing emissions 15 per cent below 1990 levels by 2020.

Treaty cash cow may soon dry up

T

he B.C. Treaty Commission and its federal and provincial financiers put on a brave show last week, celebrating a “milestone” in negotiations for a modern treaty with five Vancouver Island First Nations. A regional group representing the Songhees, Beecher Bay, T’Souke, Malahat and Snaw-Naw-As (Nanoose) First Nations have reached the “agreement in principle” stage of negotiations with Canada and B.C., after 20 years of treaty talks. This is similar to the treaty finalized in 2007 with another five-member Vancouver Island group called Maa-Nulth First Nations. The Te’mexw Treaty Association agreed to accept 1,565 hectares of provincial Crown land and $142 million in federal cash to settle its historic aboriginal title. Alas, agreement in principle is but the fourth of sixth stages. Now a platoon of lawyers takes

over from the roomful of negotiators to produce the final legal text. It will be years before this treaty can be presented to the B.C. legislature and the House of Commons in Ottawa, if it ever is. These elaborate ceremonies will never be viewed the same again after the release of federal treaty advisor Doug Eyford’s report last month. The Te’mexw event seemed to have an extra urgency after Eyford’s observation that much of this costly activity has become a job creation program for those involved. These Vancouver Island communities deserve credit for setting aside their own territorial disputes. It’s more than most have done. Eyford concluded after a long summer of meetings last year that many treaty negotiation teams in this province and across the country show no such inclination.

TOM

FLETCHER B.C. Views

In B.C. and elsewhere in Canada, there is a “conspicuous lack of urgency in negotiations” and “sharp divisions” between parties, most of which have been at the table for a decade or more, Eyford found. This is what has come to be known as the “aboriginal industry,” where lawyers and consultants have a seemingly endless supply of lucrative work, much of it of questionable value. For some aboriginal participants, attending treaty meetings year after year is the best

paying job they have ever had. Indeed, a common feature of the province’s dealings with aboriginal communities is that their leaders demand meetings, and then demand to be paid to attend them. This latest Vancouver Island treaty, assuming it is ever finalized, would at least in part replace the Douglas Treaties, signed by B.C.’s colonial governor James Douglas in the 1850s. These treaties around Fort Victoria were quickly concluded if nothing else. The Beecher Bay Band was paid 45 pounds, 10 shillings for most of Sooke and another 43 pounds and change for its Metchosin territory. One of the biggest missing pieces in the latest agreement in principle is the share of federally-regulated fisheries. This has been a theme of B.C. Treaty Commission reports in recent years, as Ottawa holds up treaties for years because it

is unable or unwilling to offer shares of salmon in particular. Hunting and fishing rights are acknowledged even in historic treaties, and reaffirmed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Sharing these rights while maintaining conservation of fish stocks has been more than Ottawa, and in some cases neighbouring aboriginal communities, have been able to manage. Eyford’s findings, and the B.C. government’s sudden refusal to keep staffing a B.C. Treaty Commission that shows so little progress, have sent one overdue message. If participants aren’t prepared to make real compromises and show a willingness to conclude agreements rather than drag them out, they should leave and come back when they are ready to do so. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

More Canadian cable cutters

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A new report says more Canadians are choosing to cancel their cable TV and satellite packages and there’s no sign of the migration slowing down. The Convergence Consulting Group says about 95,000 fewer households had a cable TV or satellite subscription in 2014. The previous year the number of TV subscriptions fell 13,000. Brahm Eiley, president of Toronto-based firm that completed the study, says he expects the industry to lose another 97,000 in 2015.

Planned house fire fouls West Trail air

I live in West Trail and on Sunday (April 12) the fire department decided to burn down an old house near the bridge. Just so happens that myself, husband and three-and-a-half year old daughter were out for a walk when they lit it. The smoke coming from that fire was black and no doubt in our mind toxic. Ourselves and many of our

neighbors called in to complain and we were told that all the toxic stuff was removed. I am no expert but there is no way that all toxins were removed, did they remove all the lead based paint, tar shingles on the roof etc. If they did the smoke would no way have been that black!! In our opinion this was an extremely dumb move on the part of our Regional District.

traumatized by recent terrorist events and have their guard down, our government is attempting to pass Bill C-51, which will give CSIS unlimited powers to spy not only on suspected terrorists - capacity it already has - but on the opposition, unions, progressive organizations and whatever or whoever threatens Conservative hegemony. The more Canadians learn about what’s in this bill, the less they like it – that’s why opinion is changing so fast. Before Canadians knew what was in Bill C-51, 17 per cent opposed it. Three weeks later, they found out. Now, 50 per cent oppose it. Over 110,000 people have

already spoken out. If the bill passes, your sensitive private information would be shared between no fewer than 17 government agencies and even handed to foreign governments including sensitive information that can reveal everything from your financial status, to your medical history, your sexual orientation, and even your religious and political beliefs. And to top it off, victims of these privacy breaches wouldn’t even be aware of it. I encourage Canadians to learn more about how we can work together to stop Secret Police Bill C-51 at: StopC51.ca Stacy Donald Castlegar

Thank a volunteer this week An editorial from the Corner Brook Western Star Imagine, people helping other people. How dare they? How dare organizations simply exist to help other people? Disturbing words so far? They should be, because most everyone is aware that without the help of volunteers in any community, those communities would not be good places to live. Volunteerism is not all about the people who trot up an aisle to accept an award, although those who do are deserving. It’s about the people who do the little things, especially this winter that seems to be lingering on into spring. It’s about the person who goes with their shovel or snowblower to clear out their neigh-

bour’s walkway or driveway. It’s about the neighbour who brings a meal to a senior or someone in need. Then there are the people who volunteer their services for various programs, ranging from sports to community service, that help youth. These programs seem endless, from breakfast programs up to seniors programs. But there are some who are critical of honouring volunteers for what they do. When you talk to the people who receive the awards, they usually tell you they don’t volunteer for the praise they may receive. But what they do admit is that when it is received, it is truly appreciated. That falls in line with the theme for this year’s National

Volunteer Week, which is “Volunteers are part of the ripple effect.” The work of volunteers truly brings smiles, not only to the faces of the people they help, but also to the volunteers’ own faces. The ripple effect is that it benefits the whole community and mostly everyone gains. National Volunteer Week runs April 12-18 and — no matter how some might feel about it — take the time to thank a volunteer for what they do, whether it’s serving an individual, a sports team or a community organization. In the end it’s the community that benefits and it goes against the grain of any naysayers that try to make the work of volunteers seem anything but admirable.

Seeing as this house was so close to others they should have had some consideration and just demolished it instead of allowing the West Trail residents to inhale the awful smoke. Then they have the nerve to say something about small contained fires in our own backyards. Kerri Kutzner Trail

FRIDAY

Speak out against Bill C-51

I would like to urge all citizens of Canada and our local MP Alex Atamanenko, to speak out against Bill C-51. The government’s secret police Bill C-51 is reckless, dangerous, and ineffective: reckless for turning CSIS into a ‘secret police’ force with little oversight or accountability; dangerous for opening the door to violations of our Charter Rights including censorship of free expression online; and ineffective because it will lead to dragnet surveillance and information sharing on innocent Canadians that even Stephen Harper has admitted is ineffective. Now that Canadians are

Eduardo Galeano

Dinner for Caring

Author a leading voice for Latin America’s left

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay - Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano, whose “The Open Veins of Latin America” became a classic text for the left in the region and propelled the author to fame, died Monday at age 74. Galeano’s work inspired several generations of Latin Americans with powerful, acerbic descriptions of the continent’s exploitation by capitalist and imperialist forces. The writer defined himself as someone who helped rescue “the kidnapped memory” of Latin America, a “despised and beloved land.” No work reflected that more than “Open Veins,” published in 1971. In it, Galeano wrote that Chile with its vast nitrate deposits, Brazil with its abundant rain forests and small Venezuelan towns with oil reserves “had painful reasons to believe in the mortality of fortunes that nature bestows and imperialism usurps.” Submitted photo (by Naomi McKimmie, executive director Trail and District United Way) “The world and Latin America have lost a The fourth annual Dinner of Caring was held in the Trail United Church Friday evening.

Birchbank swings Shanahan cleans house into new season BY TIMES STAFF The Birchbank Golf Course is kicking off its season on a high note with its Spring Fun Tournament on Saturday. The tournament is a two-person per team best ball tournament and, for one low price includes 18 holes, dinner, and prizes. “It’s all about having fun and just about getting people out for

a fun round of golf,” said club pro Dennis Bradley, who also added that the course is in great shape. The Fun Tournament is $30 for members and $45 for non members. Everyone is welcome and players can sign up as a team or as singles. For more information call the pro shop at 693-2255.

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO Changes were inevitable for the Toronto Maple Leafs after their worst season in almost 20 years. President Brendan Shanahan didn’t waste any time making them. The Leafs fired general manager Dave Nonis and interim coach Peter Horachek and his entire staff Sunday, beginning a tumultuous off-season that could bring wholesale roster changes, as well. Nonis was fired with three years left on his

contract after the Leafs went 30-44-8 to finish with 68 points, the fewest in an 82-game season since 1996-97. Shanahan and players are set to address the media Monday afternoon at Air Canada Centre. Toronto was in a playoff position in early January when Nonis announced the firing of coach Randy Carlyle and subsequently replaced him with Horachek. At the time, Nonis blamed inconsistency for the firing and said he is “never worried about” his own job

security. “You make your decisions on what’s best for the team and that’s not going to change,” Nonis said Jan. 6. “We’re going to do the things that we need to do as a group in order to move this team forward.” From that day until the season ended Saturday night, the Leafs went 9-28-5 to finish 27th in the NHL. The only silver lining to that is a 9.5 per cent chance of winning the Connor McDavid draft lottery to jump-start the rebuilding effort.

The Nanaimo Clippers are halfway there. The city’s junior A hockey club won the first two games of the BCHL’s Fred Page Cup finals on the road, defeating the Penticton Vees 5-2 on Friday and then 2-1 in overtime the next night. “It’s something special going on right now,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. The Shipmen are returning to Nanaimo now with an unpredicted two-games-to-none series lead. The Clips won Saturday’s Game 2 when Brett Roulston fired a wrist shot high over Vees goaltender Hunter Miska just 20 seconds into OT. “Brett’s been a heart-and-soul player for us all year…” Vandekamp said. “He’s worked real hard for us in a lot of other areas, and so it was nice to see him score that goal.” At this stage of the post-season, there are heroes every night, but the Clippers coaches don’t talk about that sort of thing to motivate guys during games, Vandekamp said. “It’s important for the players just to continue to play really well as a team,” he said. “Sometimes guys can stretch beyond that trying to be the hero.” Goalie Guillaume Decelles was another game star Saturday, making 37 saves as his team was outshot 38-23. Vees captain Cody DePourcq opened the scoring 13 minutes into the first period, Clips forward Sheldon Rempal tied it five and a half minutes later and the score held until OT.

The day before, the Shipmen broke open a 1-1 game with four straight second-period goals. Anthony Rinaldi had a two-goal game in the series opener, Yanni Kaldis, Rempal and Ryan Forbes were the other scorers and Decelles made 36 saves as shots ended up 38-24. Demico Hannoun and Jack Ramsey scored Penticton’s goals. Vandekamp said overall, his team spent more time in its own end than it wanted to, but defended well, competing with composure and keeping the opponent to the outside. “We persevered, stuck with it well throughout the weekend,” the coach said. “I just really like our battle level. We were competing every shift and that’s what the finals are going to be about. Every shift’s going to be a real battle.” That will be the case as the series moves to Nanaimo for Game 3 and Game 4. Penticton is an “extremely formidable foe,” said Vandekamp, and will be hungry to win after the results of Game 1 and Game 2. “It was definitely the start we were looking for. But it is just that, it’s just the start,” the coach said. “This is a series. Every game is going to continue to be more and more difficult as we go and bigger and bigger each game.” The Clippers and Vees played Monday at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena in Nanaimo but the score was unavailable at press time. They also play tonight at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane in Game 4 of the best-ofseven series.

Atom A champions

Spieth runs away with Masters THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUGUSTA, Ga. - Jordan Spieth tapped in his final putt to cap off a record performance and bent over in relief. He just as easily could have been taking a bow. This was a Masters for the ages. Not since Tiger Woods in 1997 has a 21-yearold faced so little stress while making a mockery of par in a major. Not since Raymond Floyd in 1976 has anyone withstood the pressure of leading for all four rounds at Augusta National. Only one other Masters champion - Craig Wood in 1941 - has never let anyone closer to him than three shots the entire way. Spieth took his place among the best in the game Sunday when he closed with a 2-under 70 for a four-shot victory over Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose, becoming the second-youngest champion behind Woods to wear a green jacket. “This was arguably the greatest day of my life,” Spieth said. “To join Masters history and put my name on that trophy and to have this jacket forever, it’s something that I can’t fathom right now.” He left everyone else dazed, too. Spieth missed a 5-foot par putt on the final hole that only kept him from breaking another record this week at the Masters. He tied the 72-hole scoring mark that Woods set at 18-under 270. It was still enough to beat Mickelson (69) and Rose (70) by four shots. “Playing with Jordan, he’s going to sort of fly the flag for golf for quite a while,” Rose said. “People were getting excited about that out there. You could tell.” There were standing ovations all the way around to celebrate the latest star in golf, the next addition to a new generation just as Woods and Mickelson are approaching the back nines of their careers. Rory McIlroy is still No. 1 in the world by a reasonable margin. Spieth is now No. 2. It’s the first time players 25 or younger have been Nos. 1-2 in the world. “He’s got four majors. That’s something I can still only dream about,” Spieth said. “I don’t know, as far as a rivalry right now.”

For all the hype about the Grand Slam bid by McIlroy and the return of Woods, this week was about the arrival of another star. “It’s awfully impressive,” McIlroy said after closing with a 66 to finish fourth. “It’s nice to get your major tally up and running at an early stage in your career. It’s great to see, great for the game, and I’m sure there will be many more.” Woods jarred his right wrist when he struck wood under the pine straw on the ninth hole. He didn’t hit a fairway on the front nine and never was in the game, closing with a 73 to finish 13 shots behind. Mickelson tried to make a run. So did Rose. Lefty holed a bunker shot for eagle on the par-5 15th, but he couldn’t make a birdie the rest of the way. Rose got to within three shots of Spieth on three occasions on the front nine, and Spieth kept his nerve. He picked up two shots on Rose on Nos. 8 and 9 - the same spot where the Masters got away from Spieth last year. “I thought today might be easier having played with the lead on Saturday. It wasn’t,” Spieth said. “It’s the most incredible week of my life. This is as great as it gets in our sport. ... I’m still kind of shock a little bit.” And he will keep the editors of the Masters record book busy. Among the marks he established this week: - The 36-hole record at 14-under 130. - The 54-hole record at 16-under 200. - The most birdies for the tournament at 28. - The lowest opening round by a champion at 64. “He has no weaknesses,” Mickelson said. “He doesn’t overpower the golf course, but he plays the course strategically well. He plays all the shots properly. And he has that ability to focus and see things clear when the pressure is on and perform at his best when the pressure is on. “That’s something that you really can’t teach,” he said. “Some players are able to do it, some players aren’t. And he is.” Spieth was reminded of how far he has come, and how quickly, when he stood on the first tee with a four-shot lead and history in his hands. His caddie, Michael Greller, reminded him that the Texas golf team was playing a match in California. This would be Spieth’s senior year. “He said, ‘Face it: Aren’t you glad you’re here instead of there?”’ Spieth said with a smile.

‘Furious 7’ motoring along

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - The high-octane thriller “Furious 7” maintained its pace in its second week, speeding away with $60.6 million at North American theatres, bringing its box-office total to a robust $252.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Universal’s “Furious 7” more than lapped the competition. The only new wide release of the weekend, the rodeo romance “The Longest Ride,” opened with $13.5 million. That was good enough for third place behind alien adventure “Home,” at $19 million.

plan and pre-pay for their funeral, it’s a great idea. My girls said it was the best present I ever gave them. -- Planning Ahead Dear Planning: Such pre-arranged plans give children peace of mind. We wish more people would be willing to address this issue ahead of time.

Dear Annie: Young people are ready, willing and able to tackle the world’s most difficult challenges, and yet are vastly underrepresented as active citizens, decision-makers and problem solvers. We know that young people are uniquely suited to help solve problems if given the opportunity. 1. Fifty percent of the world’s population is under age 25. 2. Brain research tells us that young people are uniquely suited to solve problems if given the opportunity. They are wired for novelty (learning new things and creating new solutions), risk (trying things adults might not) and peer authority (kids listen to other kids more than they do to adults). 3. Youth who are engaged as active community members are more likely to grow up to volunteer, vote and donate to charitable causes. 4. Today’s social and environmental problems are immense; we need youth to be leaders and problem solvers today, not just the leaders of a distant tomorrow.

On behalf of the Kelly family I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt appreciation and thank you to the people of Rossland, Trail and surrounding communities for their support and comfort during this difficult time for Ryan, Emerson and Beth.

To all of the friends, businesses, community groups and people of the Rossland, Trail and area my thank you for your kindness and generosity to my son and grandchildren during this difficult time.

Zipline tours coming to Kokanee Creek By Tamara Hynd Nelson Star

Adrenaline junkies take heed. If your idea of fun includes zooming through the air with a forest canopy below you and a view of Kootenay Lake in the distance, you’re in luck. The first commercial zipline in the West Kootenay began construction Friday as Kokanee Mountain Zipline breaks ground near Kokanee Creek Provincial Park, 20 kilometres north of Nelson. Owners and brothers Jay and Todd Manton are building the tourist attraction on 44 hectares of land located up Kokanee Creek Forest Service Road. They plan to offer fully guided tours starting July 1 through a series of six zip lines with a mixture of short hikes in between. The longest zipline is a whopping 609 metres (2300 feet) and its velocity can reach 100 kilometres per hour. Jay is a construction engineer who said his brother “knows ziplining cold”. Todd has extensive experience in the

zip line industry, having built ziplines in Penticton and New Zealand. For six years he also provided rope expertise at Easter Seals Camps. The pair has hired FP Design and Construction of Rossland, whose specialty is building ziplines such as those in Oyama and Revelstoke. The venture has been in the making since 2013, and Jay said the Nelson Chamber of Commerce has been a “huge help” making connections to source local resources and materials. Jay said they chose the Nelson area for its “atmosphere of adventure” and the need for more family attractions. And it helps that the closest competitor is a four-hour drive away. He said Kokanee Creek Provincial Park is “a huge draw”, with a large number of people coming through, specifically 38,000 overnight visits and 225,000 day-users annually. Beyond that, he said there are 170 campsites and 700 serviced campsites within a

45-minute drive. “Most are full and only getting more popular,” he said, adding there is an influx of American tourists due to the US dollar. A parking area 2.2 kilometres up the forest service road will serve as a place for safety orientation before the 1.5 kilometer shuttle up the road to the first of six ziplines. Each group will have a guide in the lead braking and tyingin guests. A second guide will bring up the tail of the group. Jay described the first two ziplines as short and a good way for people to get comfortable with the feeling and the heights. After that, the ziplines get more adventurous varying from 200 to 300 feet in the air and above the trees, while crossing Kokanee Creek and its canyons with a view up and down the valley to Kootenay Lake. Some of the zip lines have short hikes between them, the longest being a half kilometre. For those wondering about safety, people are secured in a body harness.

“It’s set up to be “hands free, to do as you please,” said Jay. There are weight limits even though the harnesses and gear have a 5000 pound rating. The minimum weight limit is 50 pounds and a maximum of 275 pounds. While it’s fun for all ages of adults, their target audience is eight to 14-yearolds. “They really enjoy the adrenaline,” says Jay. They plan to open seven days per week until October, with next year being operational beginning in May. The company’s website is at zipkokanee.com. The tours will explore the West Arm demonstration forest which Jay said has a “ diverse tree ecosystem” and a view of the different forestry practises from back in the day. “It’s a beautiful forest and peaceful,” said Jay. “There are five giant Ponderosas that are four to five feet in diameter that surround one staging area.” “Really it’s about being in an eco-friendly sustainable industry,” said Jay.

In the Staples Canada’s Annual Superpower your School Contest, the students at Kinnaird went up against over 600 other schools across the country. Their task was to highlight what initiatives they have done in the past and are currently doing to save the planet. “We’re real excited here at Kinnaird Elementary,” said Principal Wayne Naka, “we applied for this grant earlier in the Spring and it was an initiative for schools across the country that had done anything environmentally. They were going to pick one school from Western Canada and we were the very fortunate recipients of the $25,000.” Staples representative explained why they were awarding the Castlegar school and how amazed they were with all the projects they’ve completed in such a short time. “We have done a tonne of environmental stuff on our school grounds over the last five to six years,” Naka continued, “so it was an easy fill-out for us. We just weren’t sure how many other schools were doing it.” Kinnaird established a schoolyard greening committee with students, staff and parents banding together to establish a five year plan to green the school grounds. Through successful grant applications and determination the group was able to accomplish a lot.

Ron Wilson photos

There’s more than birdies and eagles around the Birchbank golf course these days. Ron Wilson took a long-range photo of a trio of goats taking it easy on the rocks across the Columbia River from the 14th tee box. Wild turkey sightings are common around the course and, at this time of year, the males are strutting their stuff for mating season. If you have a recent photo you would like to share with our readers email it to editor@trailtimes.ca.
