Repairs underway but water restrictions remain BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff

Water restrictions and the boil water advisory for two Greater Trail communities will likely extend into June, according to the Village of Montrose’s chief administrative officer. On the bright side, Kevin Chartres said the Montrose water supply would soon be connected through bypass by Saturday, removing stress from Beaver Falls and reducing water costs. “This connection will still require careful management,” said Chartres. “Operational questions remain.”

The water pipe leakage destroyed roughly 10,000 m3 of property on the west end of Ninth Avenue on the road reserve when a valve failed May 4. Replacement of the failed valve was expected soon with the valve currently on order, Chartres said. On Saturday the existing water supply main was flushed and cleaned. “Very dirty water (was) encountered,” Chartres added. “The pumps ran until water cleared up.” Also on Saturday the damaged area was revived with 140 loads of fill, and another 75 loads of fill is still required to

complete the task. More work including pipe installation, chamber retro-fit and base preparation is currently underway. The Stage 3 Water Restrictions were put in place in Montrose since the pipe failure on May 4. The restriction banned residents from washing vehicles, running garden hoses or watering their lawns with anything other than an underground sprinkler. Remediation work on the site will include final geotechnical inspection, as well as compaction for bank stability and slope treatment.

The gauntlet has been thrown down as two municipal councils will prepare to lock horns in an arbitration process over the delivery of regional sewage service. Trail city council has notified the province it will begin the process of arbitration with the City of Rossland to determine the correct percentages of shared costs for sewage service in the Greater Trail region. Last week Trail “We believe we council took a hard line and supported made a very final proposal arbihonest proposal tration, opening the and we, quite door to third-party resolution. The frankly, didn’t motion to go to arbieven get the tration was passed opportunity to sit unanimously. “We’ve had a lot face to face ...” of discussion on this GREG GRANSTROM already,” said Mayor Dieter Bogs. And more is to come. The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development (CSCD) advised in a May 10 letter to council that arbitration in the long-running dispute between the two municipalities was the only recourse left. For four years the question of who pays what portion of the cost of sewer service among Trail, Rossland and Warfield has been booted around like a political football. Trail currently pays close to 70 per cent of the regional budget following a formula created in the late 1960s, based mostly on population and projected growth. Settling the matter through arbitration does not sit well in the mountain kingdom. But once one side requests dispute resolution assistance, it sets in motion the required actions by the dispute resolution officer. Rossland Mayor Greg Granstrom said the legal price for the process will far outweigh the cost difference quoted in the proposal — around $20,000. “The whole thing to me is a bit silly,” Granstrom said. “We believe we made a very honest proposal and we, quite frankly, didn’t even get the opportunity to sit face to face, which we were very disappointed with.” He said there were misconceptions sewage was a regional district service, when it was a

private agreement between three parties, with the regional district as the contractor. Those discrepancies could come out in the arbitration process and skew the outcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is in the best interests of the three parties to come to an agreement on this. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not looking for a fight,â&#x20AC;? said Granstrom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to get this solved and we see no need for an arbitrator.â&#x20AC;? But Trail council set the wheels on the road for arbitration when they passed a motion on the application to request a dispute resolution officer appointment. Even though an officer is appointed the two municipalities may still negotiate a settlement. In early April Rossland council dismissed an eleventhhour attempt from Trail to avoid arbitration. Trail council had drafted a cost sharing proposal based on population, though it previously agreed

with a mediator report that suggested the old formula was unfair, and a new formula should be based on 50 per cent population and 50 per cent water consumption. However, Rossland council made a counter proposal in April that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in line with the mediatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation, claiming Trail should pay 62 per cent of the regional service instead of the 59 per cent the mediator suggested. That proposal versus the population proposal from Trail would have the city coming up with a further $20,462 per year. Rossland council also felt Trail should be responsible for 62 per cent of the sewer interceptor line capital costs. Trail council has asked the CSCD to deal with the matter prior to the end of 2012 so any changes in cost apportionment would be reflected in the 2013 budget. As well, Trail council will be seeking retroactive financial compensation as part of

the settlement given that other parties â&#x20AC;&#x153;seemingly unreasonably delayed the process and eventual settlement,â&#x20AC;? read a memorandum from Trail chief administrative officer David Perehudoff. The memo also noted Trail council may seek independent service options to the regional service unless the service was appropriately designed and provided the cost sharing deemed to be fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(It) may be in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best interest for a community such as Rossland to develop their own option for this service as they seemingly have issues with this and other services that require regional cooperation and associated funding,â&#x20AC;? Perehudoff noted in his memo to council. The final straw The three municipalities underwent a service review in 2008 in an attempt to arrive at a consensus to resolve the dispute, formulating a fair allocation of costs as they related to

what service each community received. However, when that was not acceptable a mediation process was instituted in 2011 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; through George Paul of Community Solutions Incorporated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that also proved unsuccessful. The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, who has been attempting to resolve the ongoing dispute, had asked the CSCD to declare the dispute a prescribed matter suitable for binding arbitration under the Community Charter. In March, Ida Chong, CSCD minister, wrote Rossland Mayor Greg Granstrom requesting binding arbitration, despite Rossland and Warfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opposition to the process. The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary has recommended the matter go to the province in hopes of finding a resolution this year, though the financial implications will not be taken into effect until 2013.

Former mill manager sues owner BY GREG NESTEROFF Nelson Star

The former operations manager of Meadow Creek Cedar is suing the company and owner Daljit (Dale) Kooner in small claims court. Rowland McCulloch is seeking $3,100 to cover three unpaid invoices dating back to last fall, plus expenses, interest, and filing fees. McCulloch filed his notice of claim on February

21, explaining the money was owed to his company, MB Log Hauling, for lowbedding equipment. “In October and November 2011 I sent the invoices to Meadow Creek Cedar Ltd.,” he wrote. “On the date of invoicing and late notices each month after, I contacted Daljit Kooner numerous times and he said he would pay them right away. The last time I contacted him I left a message on his phone with no

reply or payment.” Kooner did not respond to the notice of claim, so a default judgment was entered on March 15. Kooner subsequently applied to have the judgment set aside and to be given more time to respond. He said he had been in touch with McCulloch to settle the matter outside court, but couldn’t get ahold of him again before the judgment was entered. The application was

Drunk survives after run over by 26 train cars

Fernie Free Press

A man camping at Lake Koocanusa on Sunday night is “incredibly lucky to be alive” after he fell asleep on the train tracks and was run over by 26 train cars. The man, in his mid-20s, has been charged with mischief for the incident on Sunday night at about 7 p.m. Cpl. Don Erichsen from the Elk

Valley RCMP said the Albertan man got into a fight with his girlfriend while he was heavily intoxicated and decided to go for a walk. He sat down on the train tracks in Elko and fell asleep. A train was approaching and the engineer saw the man and attempted to disturb him by blowing the whistle. “The sleeping man did not make any movement whatsoever,”

heard May 10 in Nelson court before Judge Ron Fabbro but was not granted. Instead, Kooner was ordered to pay costs of $50 to McCulloch within 10 days, or the application would be dismissed. The case was adjourned to May 28. Court records show more than 20 lawsuits have been filed against Meadow Creek Cedar since 2006, mostly by creditors, but all others have lain dormant since 2010.

Being a student shouldn’t break the bank. For some families, the end of the school year means that it’s time to start saving money for the next year. But not everybody can afford it, and for them, there is help. A local campaign called Skool-Aid is asking for donations to help students in Greater Trail buy school supplies for next summer. It might seem early to fundraise for September when school isn’t even out yet, said Louise McEwan, a Catholic community volunteer who is currently working on the third annual campaign to aid local students. “I don’t think people realize how much poverty there is in Trail,” she said. “Because there are some jobs that pay really well in the area and we don’t necessarily see the same problems in the streets as you might in a bigger city, but that doesn’t mean poverty doesn’t exist.” McEwan said the campaign is beginning now while the current school term is on because it’s easier to connect with people who need help while classes are still in session. “We tried to do this once in August, and it was very hard to find answers,” she said. Schools supplies are available for low-income families in Fruitvale Elementary School, Glenmerry Elementary School, Webster Elementary School, Saint Michael’s School, J. L. Crowe Secondary and Rossland Secondary School, based on a written referral from a school official. Last year the program aided 112 students with school supplies, and this year McEwan expects the demand to be equally high. The program works closely with Hall’s Basics to aid students from kindergarten to Grade 12 serving families all the way from Rossland to Fruitvale. Hall’s Basics sells discounted items to the Skool-Aid initiative, as well as preparing and distributing the packages to the schools. Most participants choose to remain anonymous. If you would like to donate to this year’s campaign, all donations of $20 or more will receive an official tax receipt. For more information contact McEwan at 250-364-1781 or louisemcewan@shaw.ca

said Cpl. Erichsen. “The engineer attempted to stop the train but 26 cars ended up going over the man before it came to a stop. “The man was found under the train and was still not moving, and was assumed dead. “However, the man eventually woke up and was not too impressed that a train had come to be on top of him while he was sleeping.” The man was arrested for

intoxication in a public place then later charged with mischief and released. “This man is obviously been watched over, because last May long weekend he was hit by a car while camping in lake Koocanusa,” said Erichsen. “This year it was a train, so I’m not sure how he plans to top that next year. I just think it is incredible he is alive, let alone doesn’t have a scratch on him.”

PROVINCIAL OSOYOOS

COURTENAY

Border bluff proves costly

Fall victim identified

BY KRISTI PATTON Penticton Western News

Making a false statement to an Osoyoos border guard has cost an Okanagan couple upwards of $40,000. Robert and Rose Wilson were charged under the Canadian Customs Act for making false or deceptive statements and attempting to evade duties under the act when attempting to return back to Canada on May 17, 2011. They appeared in Penticton provincial court on Monday in front of Judge Meg Shaw. The couple told a Canadian border guard they had brought a $40,000 trade-in vehicle into the United States and purchased the motorhome they were driving back into Canada. The husband then told

the border guard the motorhome was purchased for $90,000 and presented a bill of sale. Federal crown Nick Lerford told the court some of the responses offered by the husband prompted officers to do a secondary inspection. Lerford said a second bill of sale for approximately $158,000 was recovered inside the motorhome sitting on a table in a folder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a premeditated event,â&#x20AC;? said Lerford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The accused was given more than one occasion to report the value of goods but continued to try and convince the border guard the value was not what it was.â&#x20AC;? Defence counsel Richard Hewson argued the elderly couple made a â&#x20AC;&#x153;terribly unsophisticated

decision and had no idea of the risk they were taking.â&#x20AC;? Hewson said the couple had more than $39,000 of fines imposed on them by border services and paid them four days after they were stopped at the border. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there was any planning, it was of the worst kind,â&#x20AC;? said Hewson, arguing if they were trying to be truly deceptive they could have mailed the receipt back to Canada instead of trying to bring it across with them. The defence successfully argued the point that the husband was the one mainly answering the border guard questions, which led to the charges of false statements being discharged on the wife and evading duties stayed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are good people that did something wrong and something they regret,â&#x20AC;? said Hewson. The husband received a conditional discharge with a six month probation for making deceptive statements. The charge of evading duties was also stayed on the husband.

Hansen on the final leg of his anniversary tour through the downtown core to the plaza. The original wheelchair marathon took 26 months, covered 34 countries and raised $26 million dollars for research into spinal cord injuries. Hansen was just 29-years old on May 22, 1987, when his global tour wrapped up and now, just months from his 55th birthday, his foundation has raised more than $250 million and continues to investigate advances in research and improvements in quality of life initiatives.

Witnesses said Whittome was walking along the edge of the cliff around 3 p.m. when she appeared to have bent over to have a closer look at something on the ground or possibly tie a shoe, and fell over the edge, Doug Chinnery, deputy chief of the Hornby Island Fire Department, told media. Tony Law, of the Islands Trust, told media the accident is upsetting for all residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are all aware that the high cliffs can be dangerous, but at the same time, we want to see the view, and we want to experience it.

He added the coroner is investigating the incident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will see what can be done to increase the safety without compromising what everyone comes there to enjoy.

Conservative MPs ask court to stop review of election results THE CANADIAN PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS/RYAN REMIORZ

People gather at the start of a protest to mark the 100th day of a students strike, in Montreal, Tuesday.

Protest goes international on 100th day THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - A river of red-clad protesters is rippling through downtown Montreal on this, the 100th day of Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student strikes, with smaller events being held in other cities. Parallel events are being held in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and New York. In Paris, a few hundred supporters, including many Quebecers, congregated near the famous Notre Dame Cathedral. In New York City, two demonstrations were scheduled Tuesday: one at Rockefeller Plaza where Quebec government offices are located, and another at Washington Park in the

evening. Organized by the Occupy Wall Street movement and by the group Strike Everywhere, the first New York event was designed to raise awareness about the Quebec protests while the second was about opposing anti-protest laws all over the world. The events came several days after the Quebec government introduced a law setting rules for protests and promising stiff financial penalties for transgressors - a move that appears to have fanned the flames of the Quebec student movement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An increase in the powers of police and the state anywhere

is an attack on us everywhere,â&#x20AC;? said the release for the New York event. Within Canada, organizers of the Calgary gathering described Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law as draconian, and encouraged people to meet in support of Quebec students. There are other hints the student unrest could spread outside the province. The Canadian Federation of Students wants to call an Ontario-wide strike vote this fall in a show of solidarity with Quebec students. Meanwhile, in Montreal, tens of thousands of people of all ages were marching, while wearing the iconic red square of

the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student movement. While less than onethird of Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s postsecondary students are actually on strike, they have attracted some support from people angry at the provincial government and its emergency law. The law requires organizers to give police eight hoursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; notice of when and where a protest will happen - and it imposes fines for offenders.

OTTAWA - Seven Conservative MPs who narrowly won their seats in the last election are asking the Federal Court to toss out a request to review the results in their ridings. Conservative Party lawyer Arthur Hamilton has filed motions on behalf of the seven MPs asking that the cases be rejected. The almost identically worded motions call the cases frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of process. They also claim the applications for judicial review were filed too late and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contain any specific allegations that could furnish grounds to overturn the election results from May 2, 2011. The Council of Canadians has asked the Federal Court to review the election results in two ridings in Ontario, two in Manitoba, one in Saskatchewan, one in British Columbia and one in the Yukon. The law lets voters legally challenge the results in their ridings. If a judge finds anything that would have

or too long the debate about climate change has been monopolized by two parties. One has got religion, fervently believing in manmade climate change, and that only large changes in human behaviour can stave off disaster. Their opponents argue that the science is uncertain, unsettled and inconclusive, and therefore that no action is warranted until we possess that missing certainty. I don’t agree with either camp. In most areas there is only ever certainty of uncertainty. In other words, both those who believe certainty has been achieved and those who say it has not share the same assumption: that certainty is what we are after and we can get it. The reality is that longrange future energy, climate, economic, and other carbonrelated environmental conditions are and will remain significantly uncertain, highly variable, and largely unpredictable. Scientists and mathematicians know that the systems involved in the various dimensions of climate change policy are, in fact, extremely complex and often chaotic, fraught with considerable, irreducible

uncertainty. But contrary to the socalled sceptics, this uncertainty does not licence inaction. Most human decisions are made in conditions of imperfect uncertain information. We have to act even though we don’t know everything. While we may not have established that man-made climate change is an absolute certainty, it is a serious risk. And rational people act so as to manage serious risks, even when they cannot say with confidence exactly how great the risk is. The risk that any particular house will burn down is rather small. And yet fire insurance is almost universal. Most people sensibly believe that large risks, even if the probability they will occur is small, are still worth protecting themselves against. The key discussion, then, is not about whether climate change is occurring, but how great we think the risk is, and how big the insurance premium is we are willing to pay to mitigate the potential damage. That is a completely different conversation. Another thread in the conversation would concern the climate itself. The earth’s climate has changed

BRIAN

LEE CROWLEY Troy Media continually and frequently throughout its four-billionyear history and will continue to do so for hundreds of millions of years to come. Moreover, natural forces have caused the climate to change suddenly and drastically many times in the past and are certain to do so again. Human activities may indeed be contributing to climate change now. But more powerful, uncontrollable natural forces continue to operate. So policies that promise to prevent climate change are destined to fail and can only waste resources which can better be applied to improving human security and welfare, especially via strategies that will permit humanity to be more adaptable in the face of the potential impacts of climate change. Yet a further thread

would be a cold hard look at what we know about the greatest variable in climate change policy, which is not the climate, but the behaviour of people. Any climate change policy that depends on transforming human nature is not a solution, because it will not work. Too much wishful thinking goes on that “science” should inform all our decisions, and yet we somehow think the findings of the physical sciences can and will trump what we know about how real people think and act. As a result, the policy “solutions” utopians promote (we will give up cars and use buses and bicycles) assume a malleability of human attitudes and behaviour that has little or no basis in social science or historical precedent. We must plan on the basis of how people actually behave, rather than how we wish they would behave. We would also dispense with the widely accepted but quite mistaken idea that small scale experiments can always and easily be massively scaled up. This presumption confounds one of the broadest and most consistent scientific principles: that forces and phenomena observed at a small scale usually work quite differently at

a larger scale, and vice versa. So, for instance, advocates of carbon cap-and-trade schemes claim that such “market-based” solutions worked to reduce powerplant sulfur oxide emissions and replace ozone-destroying chlorofluorocarbons with more benign products. But those industrial markets are orders of magnitude smaller than the global market for carbon-based fuels and other products. There is little reason to think that such policies would escape this scale effect. The climate policy we need, therefore, is the one that hardly anyone is talking about. It would accept the risk of man-made climate change, but reject utopian and unworkable schemes to “stop” it or that assume that human nature can be abolished. We would concentrate our scarce resources where they would maximize human well-being: on policies, technologies and infrastructure that allow humanity to adapt successfully to uncertain climate conditions in the future.

Will a way of life soon be gone? An editorial from the Corner Brook Western Star The federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible plans to mandate Employment Insurance recipients to work while they collect benefits could have a huge bearing on rural areas given the news out of the Baie Verte Peninsula last week. EI has become a way of life for many Newfoundland outport residents, and there is outrage associated across the country. Locally, La Scie will most likely lose its fish plant in the next

year or so. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 300 people out of work in a town with less than 1,000. They go on EI in the off months because there is nothing else for them to do. What happens under the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential new plans when those EI recipients cannot find other work? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something government will have to answer. The recipients who take part in this EI culture that has come about in the last few decades - work a few weeks, then collect for the rest of the year - have to know exactly what they are pre-

pared to do when the country can no longer afford to do this, or makes a decision not to? Working an average of 14 weeks per year and collecting EI for the rest of the year sounds like a deal for so many who work 40-plus hours per week with only a couple of weeks of vacation to look forward to. But it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go on, especially in towns that depend on primary resources, such as the fishing industry, to survive.

Those who cannot find work will need to go where the work is because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re facing a new financial reality today. There has to be a balanced struck between the cuts and forcing people out of their homes. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see those who cannot change with the times be left behind.

PEOPLE OBITUARIES CROMARTY, HELEN EVA — It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved wife and mother Helen Eva Cromarty on Friday May 11, 2012. Helen is survived by Vic, her husband of 54 years; sons Colin of Prince Albert Saskatchewan; Victor of Victoria B.C., and her younger brother Jim Laird of Edmonton Alberta. Helen is predeceased by her father and mother Jim and Annie Laird of Fruitvale B.C. Helen was born in St. Vital, Manitoba on January 14, 1937. Her family moved to Fruitvale B.C. in the mid-1950s. Helen later attended high school in Trail and went on to graduate from the Trail Business College. She worked for several years at the Trail Colour Centre and other locations in the Trail area. On March 10th 1958 she married Victor Leroy Cromarty of Fruitvale B.C. After their wedding they moved to Barrie, Ontario where Vic was stationed with the Canadian Forces’ Provost Corps. Over the next 27 years Helen endured many moves as a military wife to CFB Borden, CFB Ottawa, Carleton Place, CFB Edmonton, SHAPE Belgium, CFB Ottawa again and ﬁnally CFB Calgary. During these times she was often the lone parent, raising her two sons by herself while her husband was away with the Canadian Forces, the United Nations Peace Keeping Forces or other assignments. Helen was a very special person and held her family together under some very trying circumstances. Upon Vic’s retirement in 1978 Helen and family moved to Maple Ridge, B.C., eventually settling in Kamloops, B.C. in 1988. At Helen’s request there will not be a formal service. The burial of her ashes will take place in Fruitvale at a later date. We wish to thank the wonderful people who cared for her at the Royal Inland Hospital ICU in Kamloops. In lieu of ﬂowers donations may be made in Helen’s name to the Arthritis Society of Canada.

LOTTO MAX

Toys on wish list THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A 34-year-old Toronto man plans to indulge his passion for motorbikes and muscle cars after winning a $50-million Lotto Max jackpot. Timothy Schell picked up his prize Tuesday after checking his numbers online when he arrived at work in the morning. Schell - an electrician who is originally from Alberta - says he loves cars and bikes and will likely spend some of his newfound riches on that hobby. He had been house-hunting with his girlfriend over the long weekend but says he can now budget for a dream house. Schell says he doesn’t usually play the lottery but a gas station cashier talked him into buying a ticket for Friday’s draw. It was a quick-pick. He says he has no immediate plans to quit his job since he enjoys working. “I’m the same guy - I’ll just have more toys,” “I’m a hot-rod man. I love fast bikes, muscle cars and big trucks,” said Schell. “I also look forward to visiting all of the major bike and car shows around the world.”

Doukohobors want apology from B.C. THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - It was between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. and Elsie Erickson’s mother had just begun lighting the stove when four RCMP officers barged into their tiny wooden home in the village of Krestova, B.C. “She came to the bedroom and spoke and said ‘Vanya stavai politcia skaya, the police are here,”’ Erickson said. “And from the tone in her voice I jumped out of bed. . . and I tried to hide.” The seven-year-old had barely scurried under her bed when she was dragged back out by her foot. Nearly 60 years later, she remembers her father asking if the family had time to pray. Erickson and her brother spent the next four years in what she said felt like a jail. They were housed with nearly 200 others in a residential school in New Denver all children of a radical sect of Russian immigrants known as the Sons of Freedom Doukhobors. Similar to the better-known stories of aboriginals forced into residential schools, the Sons of Freedom children were seized on order of the British Columbia government because their parents weren’t sending them to public school. Now, Erickson and 100 former residents are fighting for an apology styled similar to the redress given to their native peers in 2008. The Doukhobors argue the schooling issue was an excuse to assimilate the Sons of Freedom. They say from 1953 to 1959, the children became victims of a long-standing cultural battle between their communities and the province. Like thousands of Indian Residential School survivors, former residents say they experienced psycho-

Former residents say they experienced psychological, physical and sexual abuse in the New Denver school. logical, physical and sexual abuse in the New Denver school. Children were punished for speaking their own language, though few came into the schools knowing any English. Visits from parents were strictly limited, traditional dress was banned and cultural and religious ceremonies were left behind. A group calling itself the New Denver Survivors Collective argued before the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal in early February that the government has unjustly refused to apologize to the Sons of Freedom. They also pointed to hefty compensation packages doled out to other groups who faced abuse at B.C.-run residential schools as unfair. Ultimately, the group wants the government to carry out recommendations put forward by a 1999 BC Ombudsman report, which called for an unconditional, clear and public apology. The human rights tribunal ruling is expected late this summer. “I hope that it’ll put an end to this thing that’s been happening for so many years, this negativity, this horribleness. It affected so many people for so

many years that it’s time to put an end to this,” Erickson said in a recent interview. Efforts were initially made to fulfill some of the Ombudsman’s recommendations, but the report overall was flawed, said Geoff Plant, the province’s attorney general when the government began implementing the 1999 report’s recommendations. “In terms of the harm or the pain caused to the innocent children who were taken from their parents, that was a powerful and real fact.” But Plant said more perspective is needed. “When the government made a decision to seize these children, it did so in an attempt to respond to what was becoming widespread civil disorder in the Kootenays,” said Plant, referring to the region they inhabited in southeastern B.C. “There was increasing public alarm that this disorder was not being responded to.” Authorities were unhappy that the Sons of Freedom were not registering births, deaths or marriages and refused to send their children to public school. They were even more alarmed by nude

protests and anti-materialist demonstrations where members burned their own homes and out-of-village buildings to the ground. On occasion, homemade bombs targeted bridges and railways. In 1953, the populist, conservative Social Credit government made moves determined to end the disorder. Students were sent to the schools shortly after B.C. passed a new law on compulsory education, despite a 1952 report led by the University of British Columbia that discouraged the children’s seizure. After a series of police raids that left villages childless, the community was shaken, Erickson said. Family members suffered fatal heart attacks and some even took their own lives. Survivors themselves were deeply affected. Many residents adopted extremist views after their release. Others became alcoholics, lost their marriages and died early, she said. “I think most of us are really badly damaged psychologically, emotionally. You know, when you take away children from their parents and and you don’t give them the love and

the nurturing that they need, what grows up?” Erickson said. “What kind of an adult do you become?” A class action suit was launched by survivors in the late 1990s. Erickson said they were originally looking for a public inquiry, but were told it was too late to pursue. Shortly after the 1999 Ombudsman’s report, the government began formulating its response. It decided to send all legal suits demanding monetary compensation for abuse straight to the courts. None were successful. Meanwhile, the community was offered a commemorative project in lieu of monetary settlement. Consensus became a major roadblock, said Plant. Ideas were tossed around for a research project that would compile survivors’ testimonials. Counselling was also offered and accepted by many survivors, Plant said. The government eventually decided to build a roadside monument near the old New Denver school site. But halfway through the project, it met opposition. The monument conflicted with Doukhobor cultural and religious beliefs that reject iconography, Erickson said. Others saw the memorial as an attempt to placate survivors, believing an apology would never be issued if it was approved. Erickson said as survivors age, an apology is crucial, even more important to them than compensation. “Without an apology, there’s nothing. There’s absolutely nothing,” she said. “We again will be denied our human rights, we will again be looked upon as if we’re nothing-third class citizens that are not worthy of an apology for a wrong that was done to us.”

The Trail Jays’ Tanner Rotschy takes a cut at a pitch, as Dallas Calvin (back) gets his timing down in practice last week to prepare for the Canadian Days American Legion tournament last weekend.

Trail Jays flutter in first flight BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor

Like leaving the proverbial nest, a hatchling of young Jays require a little time to get their wings under them before they can fly. Despite their youth, a decidedly persistent group of Jays put in a gutsy performance at the Canadian Days American Legion baseball tournament on the weekend, but in the end they fell, losing three out of four games. The Jays just as well could have been 3 and 1 rather than 1 and 3 as they dropped two of three close losses in the final innings before bouncing back against Calgary in their last game Sunday. The Jays led 6-2 in the fifth inning against the Whitefish Glacier Twins before late inning mistakes and unlucky bounces let the Twins back in the game. The Whitefish, Mont. team scored three runs in the fifth inning to make it 6-5 and two more in the sixth to swipe a 7-6 victory. “They (the Jays) had a few defensive miscues and a base-running mistake, little things like that,” said associate coach Scott Calvin. “We definitely gave them that game, they didn’t beat us.” Tanner Rotschy went 2 for 4 at the plate and drove in two runs while Jordan Roblin also picked up two hits. Jarret Conway got the start, pitching five innings

while giving up five runs, three earned, on four hits and striking out one. Tyrus Jocko suffered the loss as he came on and gave up two runs on four hits. In the Jays next match against host Kalispell Lakers, Trail led 2-1 in the bottom of sixth when a Lakers bases-loaded, bloop single scored two to make it 3-2. Dallas Calvin knocked in both Jays runs, one in the third and one in the fifth,

and also pitched three scoreless innings, striking out three. The Jays had a chance to win it when they loaded the bases late in the game. Josh Blank came up and smashed a line drive but the first baseman snagged it and touched the base for the double play, ending the birds’ threat. “We pitched really well in that game, and if not for a couple of double plays that got them out of

some innings, it may have been a little bit different story,” said Calvin. It was the first action for the Jays this season, and despite a number of rookies and no games under their belt, they performed well. Opposing teams have played up to 16 games, and as the weekend wore on, so did the Jays’ arms. Injuries to pitchers Chris Whyte and Scott Davidson left the Jays shorthanded in the rotation and Sherwood Park took advantage of it, cruising to a 12-1 victory. But the Jays rebounded in the next game, plating 10 runs in the first inning to beat Calgary 13-8. Josh Blank led the charge with five RBI’s on a double and a triple, and Dallas Calvin went 3 for 4 with two knocked in and a stolen base. Sean Barta picked up the win as the right-hander threw four strong innings giving up seven hits and four runs, while walking two and striking out one. Barta also contributed to his winning cause, going 2 for 3, with a stolen base and one RBI. “Overall there was definitely some highlights, there was some good pitching, we made some good plays, a couple double plays, we had some nice hits so there is definitely some positives,” said Calvin. Edmonton beat Kalispell in the final game Sunday 8-5 to win the tournament. The Jays are scheduled to play in Cranbrook on Saturday before returning home to open at Butler with a pair of double headers on Sunday at 5 and 7 p.m. and Monday, 3 and 5 p.m.

Young Greater Trail athletes can get a jump on the summer sports season, thanks to Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart Day on Saturday. Jumpstart’s One Million Red Balls campaign is a national fundraising effort that encourages customers to donate $2 in exchange for a red ball – the national symbol for child’s play. All funds raised at the Trail Canadian Tire go towards Trail’s Jumpstart program that has helped over 250 Greater Trail kids participate in sport and other activities. “It’s a really easy application process,” said Trail Jumpstart coordinator Lisa Manaigre. “It’s helping kids pay for registration for sports groups. It can pay for equipment and it can pay for transportation as well.” Each family is eligible to receive up to $150 per child per six-month term. The terms are divided into spring and summer sports, and fall and winter pursuits so families can apply twice a year for each child, explained Manaigre. The Trail Jumpstart program benefits those families that cannot afford to enroll their children in organized sport and recreation. “We never seem to run out of funds, and we definitely want to use up everything we’re allotted for,” she said. “So promoting it is great, because I don’t think a lot of people know about it or they might not think they qualify for it, so it’s good to inquire.”

JAYS’ TWEETS

Combo off to NCAA championship The Trail Jays coach Nick Combo is finishing off a dream season for Whitworth University as his team advanced to the NCAA Div III World Series on Saturday. The Whitworth Pirates beat Trinity (Texas) 9-2 to win the NCAA Regional in McMinnville, Oregon and advance to the finals. The college senior had to miss the Jays recent tournament in Kalispell, Mont. so he could attend the regionals. Whitworth opened the tournament with a 5-0 win over La Verne, but lost its second game to Trinity 8-3. Relegated to the loser’s bracket, Whitworth came back and eliminated Concordia 5-1 before trouncing Trinity 12-0. Combo came on in relief and pitched a perfect ninth inning to retire the side and end the game. Combo celebrated with former Jay assistant coach and now head coach for Whitworth - Dan Ramsay. The NCAA Div III Championships goes in Grand Chute, Wisconsin starting May 25.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Practice for the New York Rangers went from optional to mandatory. Their attitude shifted from agitated to optimistic. For the third straight series, the Eastern Conference’s top-seeded team is all even through four games, and each time New York has headed into Game 5 off the disappointment of a loss that would have given the Rangers a commanding 3-1 edge. The negative view would be that they can’t handle prosperity. The positive outlook is that the Rangers have a knack of bouncing back. After all, they advanced from this spot in the opening two rounds with Game 7 victories in the comfort of Madison Square Garden. The task at hand against the rival New Jersey Devils in the conference finals is difficult, yet satisfyingly familiar. The Rangers have lost three straight Game 2s after series-opening wins and all three Game 4s following Game 3 victories. They have won two in a row only once in 18 in playoff games and have just one two-game losing streak in the post-season. “I guess it’s a positive. We’re used to this situation,” Rangers captain Ryan Callahan said Tuesday after practice. “It’s something we’ve been through. We know how to prepare for it, and we’ll be ready.” New York, which will host Game 5 on Wednesday night, is now in a best-of-three series with two of the games at home if it goes the distance again. With whistle in hand, and instructions bellowing across the ice, Rangers coach John Tortorella ran a 40-minute practice that was originally scheduled to be optional. That changed after a 4-1 defeat on Monday in Game 4 in New Jersey. After a team meeting that didn’t include any film work, Tortorella seemed pleased with his team as it prepared for yet another important game. “It defines our team ... our resiliency,” Tortorella said. “You have to remember, when you’re trying to win two in a row, there’s also a team trying not to lose two in a row. It’s a pretty good team at this stage of the season. “I feel really good about our approach today and how we’re going to go about our business (Wednesday).” That doesn’t mean that Tortorella isn’t soliciting outside help for his struggling offence. What can be done to get players such as regular-season leading goal scorer Marian Gaborik, playmaker Brad Richards, and others such as Callahan and Brian Boyle going? “Pray,” Tortorella said. “I don’t know what else to tell you. We’re going to keep on trying to play, pray, and hopefully something good happens to them.” The Rangers have scored nine goals in four games with the Devils - six in New York’s mirrorlike 3-0 win in Games 1 and 3. Only one has been scored by the Rangers’ top-line forwards.

REGIONAL CAMAS

CRANBROOK

Have you seen this plant? TRAIL – Common camas is a native lily with beautiful blue flowers and edible bulbs. It was an important food for First Nations throughout the Columbia Basin and in the Pacific Northwest, where it has been called a cultural keystone species. Camas meadows were described by early explorers as “blue lakes,” and David Thompson records being given “Root” on his journeys on the Columbia River. Now, however, camas is an increasingly rare find in the West Kootenay. In an effort to document camas in the Kootenays, the West Kootenay Native Plant Study Group has launched the Kootenay Camas Project (KCP).

This project encourages local residents to help scientists studying this important ecological and cultural resource in the West Kootenay region. “We hope to involve people in collecting data that will be useful to scientists to assess the health and location of camas throughout the West Kootenay. Citizen scientists are able to cover a large area and help us with valuable information.” says Eva Johansson, KCP coordinator. Camas begins to bloom in early May, and anyone can report a camas when they find it. There are a number of ways people can share information with project botanists, who will verify all reports. Budding naturalists

equipped with a camera and an internet connection can help find where camas persists in the West Kootenay. On the iNaturalist. org website, people can join the Kootenay Camas Project then upload digital images, along with the location and time of the photograph, and the approximate number of flowers found in an area. The Kootenay Camas Project is partnering with iNaturalist for automatic uploading and reporting from an Android or iOS mobile device. The free app is available from the relevant app store. “Citizen-science efforts like iNaturalist are rapidly emerging as rich sources of biogeographic information for alerting scientists where plants and animals are disappearing and where they persist,” said Scott R. Loarie, co-director of iNaturalist.org. “These technologies are a real win-win for conservation because,

Hall, Digg Garden Centre in South Slocan, RDKB office in Trail and Selkirk Trail and Castlegar campuses. You can also send an email with your camas report details to kootenaywild@gmail.com.

The Symphony of the Kootenays has been saved from the brink after a special meeting that called for four new board members or the organization would have to be dissolved. Amanda Ball, general manager of the Symphony of the Kootenays, said the symphony will most likely continue, following a special meeting held last Wednesday night. At that meeting, more than 12 new potential board members came forward. Hans Dekkers, president of the current Symphony board, said there was a lot of emotion expressed at the meeting, but the overwhelming tone was that the Symphony should continue. “There was strong emotion against the idea of dissolving something that’s been in our community for 37 years,” Dekkers explained. With over 68 people in attendance at the meeting compared to the small attendance at September’s annual general meeting, Dekkers hopes that involvement and passion will continue and prove that there is still a thirst for the symphony in the Kootenays. “It was so wonderful to see so much passion, so much spirit,” Ball said. “I was really pleased and proud of our community.” Dekkers believes that the key to a thriving symphony is to give more opportunities for young musicians to be involved, and to possibly use the performances as fundraisers.

Scott Shipley, president of S2o Designs presented to a full house at the Fernie Golf and Country Club at the first Fernie Whitewater Park open house on May 10. The venue was packed with river enthusiasts and people with concerns about the project. Shipley, who was in Fernie May 9 and 10 to float the Elk River and assess the likelihood of building a park on it gave an overview of the project, showed slides of his other projects and answered questions. According to Shipley the whole section of the Elk that the Whitewater Society is

looking at is very homogenous. “There are two or three sites that we are looking at,” said Shipley. “The river has a lot of potential.” The sites that are being considered for the park are the Annex Park, above the West Fernie bridge, below the West Fernie bridge and at the boat launch. Each park is designed to mesh with it’s surroundings, it has to tie in with existing parks as amenities such as parking and washrooms need to be readily available to park users. The first step is to come up with a concept design, which

Shipley will do over the coming weeks. He will assess the sites that have potential, taking into consideration costs and location. With a design in place, the society will pursue funding and permits. After funding and permits are in place the actual construction of the project will take two years. “Scott is one of the premier whitewater park designers in the world today,” said Dan Savage, Fernie Whitewater Society Director. “Our goal is to cater to everybody, and I think with our great companion Scott Shipley, we can do that. “We want to make this pro-

Comedians coming to Trail and Castlegar for charity BY CRAIG LINDSAY Castlegar News

The last time Ivan Decker was in Castlegar, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find any castles. This time out may not prove any more fruitful in terms of finding any castles in Castlegar, but rest assured he will once again bringing the laughs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little disappointed the first time I came given that there were zero castles,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought there would be at least one. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many constitute a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;garâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;? The youthful jokester will be the headliner for Stand up for Charity at the Element Club Bar and Grill in Castlegar and at the Charles Bailey Theatre in Trail. Opening for Decker will be Sunni Dhaliwal. The event is hosted by the Kin Club of Trail and goes May 31 at Element and June 1 at the Charles Bailey Theatre. Proceeds from the show to to the Kootenay Boundary Regional

Health (KBRH) Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Canada, and Kinsmen Community Initiatives. Decker is one of the fastest rising comedians in Canada. He has appeared at the Montreal Just for Laughs festival and has had numerous TV and radio appearances including his own halfhour comedy special on CTV. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just finished recording a DVD two nights ago,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m currently on tour in Victoria. Right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun being a comedian. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at the point now where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m flirting of quitting my day job. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on the cusp.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun.â&#x20AC;? Decker describes his comedy as observational much like Jerry Seinfeld or Brian

Regan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generally pretty clean,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more silly than it is dirty. I try to make it fun. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not trying to alienate anyone. I want everyone to enjoy the show. The style I do - I try to make the jokes relatable for anyone. Old people, young people, anyone can come out and have a good time.â&#x20AC;? Deckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family is from Saskatchewan, but he grew up in Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up in the suburbs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I moved into the big city at 19 and started to do comedy then. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing comedy pretty steadily since then. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on Just for Laughs. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on the CBC show the Debaters several times.

ERICKSON

Director wants fire service BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Creston Valley Advance

Creston Mayor Ron Toyota was clearly caught by surprise last week when he and the Regional District of Central Kootenay area A, B and C directors began discussion about a plan to negotiate a new five-year fire protection agreement between Creston and Erickson residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still plan to take fire protection to a referendum,â&#x20AC;? Area B director John Kettle said, reiterating his previous statements that he wants to extend fire protection to Lakeview, Arrow Creek and Kitchener residents by establishing a regional district fire department in Erickson. For many years, Erickson residents have received fire protection from Creston Fire and Rescue on a contract with the Town of Creston. Lakeview, Arrow Creek and Kitchener are without fire protection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I thought this was for a five-year agreement,â&#x20AC;? said Toyota, referring to the

resolution brought to the Creston Valley services committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is, but it has a

one-year opt out clause that will be invoked if the referendum passes,â&#x20AC;? Kettle said.

LEISURE

Start new husband-free life with counselling Dear Annie: After more than 40 years of devotion to my husband, I have finally realized what a stonehearted jerk he is. I have done everything in my power to love, respect and encourage him. But I’ve fallen into a pattern of picking up the pieces of my heart and overlooking my own hurt in order to give him another chance and keep peace in our home. All of this is “not important” to him, as he has told me numerous times. My marriage is terribly lonely. Year after year, his disinterest and disregard for my feelings have chipped away at the love I once had. I have fought hard to stay in his life, and he tells me, “So what?” and “Leave if you want to.” My pleadings fall on deaf ears, and he refuses to discuss it. I have raised our children and worked beside him and also outside the home. I

have contributed as much as he has to build our life together. This is obviously not how I envisioned our retirement, but I have had enough and am finally ready to begin a new life without him. Where do I start? -- Beyond Sad Dear Beyond: With counseling. Not necessarily to save your marriage, but to help you move forward in whatever direction helps you. After 40 years, there may be a great deal of grief for the loss of your relationship, fear of the unknown future, worry about finances and loneliness, as well as the need to forgive.

You have a great many choices and adjustments to make, and counseling will help you navigate. If you choose divorce, please also see an attorney. Good luck. Dear Annie: I have an ongoing dilemma about an extremely uncomfortable bed. My parents recently turned 80. They have a guestroom with a bed that desperately needs to be replaced. I can tolerate sleeping there if I am exhausted, but it is truly awful. My parents are not rich, so a new bed would be a major expense. But they don’t like handouts, so buying one for them might be resented. How do I tell them that my siblings and I would prefer to buy them a new mattress rather than spend the money staying in a motel? I don’t want to embarrass or offend them. -- Bad Back Dear Back: Your parents don’t sleep in the guestroom and

have no idea how bad the bed is, nor are they in any hurry to replace something they don’t actually use. Their embarrassment would be temporary, so simply make the arrangements and then tell them, “Mom and Dad, it’s time to update your guestroom mattress. We’ve bought you one as a gift, since we are the ones who use it most.” Then say it’s a done deal, no argument, and give them the delivery date. It would help if one of you could be there when it arrives. Dear Annie: I feel bad for “Puzzled in Indiana,” whose brother has multiple sclerosis. The brother is holding a grudge against Dad because he sold the family home and used the proceeds to build a new one instead of distributing the money to his kids. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 16 years ago. Some people with MS have

problems with memory, reasoning, judgment and depression. The stresses of life, especially the loss of a job or a loved one, can exacerbate flare-ups. All communications should be done with this in mind.

My mother also had MS. She spent the last 10 years of her life bedridden and in pain. My advice to “Indiana” is to contact the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (nationalmssociety. org) at 1-800-FIGHT-

MS (1-800-344-4867). -- Maryland Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net.

LEISURE

YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Thursday, May 24, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) In the next three weeks, you’ll have an increasing desire to talk to others, especially relatives and siblings. It also will be an especially good time to write, read and study. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Don’t be surprised if you have lots of moneymaking ideas in the month ahead. (After all, Taurus is the financial wizard of the zodiac.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today Mercury moves into your sign, to stay for several weeks. This will strongly spark your interest in fresh discoveries and short trips. Yay! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) In the month ahead, your ability to research or seek out hidden answers will be excellent. You will have a strong motivation to find

what you’re looking for. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Expect to be more social in the month ahead, because your desire to talk to others, especially in group situations, will be unusually strong. You’ll be eager to share your ideas with someone. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs will be impressed by your communicating skills in the next several weeks. Suddenly, you’re ready to speak up! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’ll enjoy study of any kind in the month ahead. Grab every opportunity to travel, explore new ideas and talk to people from different countries and other cultures. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You’ll be pleased to know that you’ll have the patience to clear up a lot of red-tape details about insurance mat-

ters, taxes, debt and shared property. This motivation will last for several weeks. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today Mercury moves directly opposite your sign, where it will stay for the next several weeks. This will prompt intense and interesting discussions with partners and close friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You can expect to take

a more hands-on approach to your job in the next few weeks. You will want to know more about practical details and how things are actually done. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Make sure to set aside time for parties, playful activities with children, sports events and movies in the next few weeks. You feel playful, prankish and flirtatious!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Family discussions will be more frequent and more involved in the next few weeks. It appears that something has to be settled. YOU BORN TODAY You have strong opinions and many interests (most of which are constantly changing). You are concerned about what’s going on in society, which is why you stay abreast of current events. You are artic-
