Despite overwhelming school trustee support province-wide for the B.C. Teachers’ Federation contract extension Wednesday, nobody is coming out a winner in the settlement, says a local trustee. Mark Wilson said the two-year deal—ratified by 85 per cent of the province’s school boards—means stability for the next year, but it did nothing to bridge the divide between teachers and their employers. “Nobody really won in this one,” said Wilson, who taught school for 35 years in the district. “The whole process was tainted from Day One.” “Nobody He pointed to mediator really won Charles Jago as not being as in this unbiased as he should have been in dealing with the disone.” pute. The teachers’ union MARK WILSON also argued that Jago was biased and didn’t have the qualifications necessary to fill the post. As a result, the deal imposed a two-year wage freeze on teachers, which had already been accepted by school support staff and other public sector unions in B.C. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association held a vote for trustees as the final ratification of the deal. Last week 75 per cent of voting members of the BCTF accepted the contract. The two-year contract—one of which included a work-to-rule campaign—includes improved benefits and seniority provisions, negotiated under a provincial government policy that said any wage increases must be offset by concessions elsewhere in the contract. Wilson did not dispute the province’s hard line approach. “That’s the way it is right now, and that is the way the economy is going,” he said. “But … the BCTF asked for too much and the province was giving away nothing. It was a tough year to be a teacher.” With the new contract set to expire in June of next year, just a month after a provincial election, Wilson anticipated the next round of negotiations that begin in the fall would provide some balance. “I’m hoping it’s going to have some workforce ease when (teachers) come back in September, after being legislated into something they don’t want,” he said.

Minimal traffic in Montrose created an easy solution for road repairs in the community this year. The Village of Montrose carried a motion to repair damaged roads in the community with a durable asphalt seal (micropaving) for $30,000. It will cost roughly $10,000 to prep the construction sites once they have been determined. “It’s got a polymer additive in it and there’s more oil so if you have a road with bumps and cracks in it, they’ll show right through,” explained Kevin Chartres chief administrative officer for the village at its regular council meeting on Tuesday night. “It’s not going to look like a brand new road.” Three possible areas are being assessed for road maintenance including 5th Street to 9th Ave South to 7th Ave; 10th Ave to 2nd Street to 3rd Street; and 8th Ave to 2nd Street to 3rd Street. However the bus route is not a candidate for this project because micropaving is not suitable for roads that “need to be rebuilt.” The village expects to determine which location to procure and will use a $30,000 model as a template for a pilot project to determine whether it could be used on larger road maintenance projects next year. The village expects road repairs to be completed at the end of August or early September.

A three-alarm fire torched a three-bay garage amidst reports of explosions Tuesday afternoon in Rossland. Three departments of Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue (KBRFR) had to be called in to douse and deal with the details of a yet unexplained blaze at 2613 Maple Crescent. KBRFR chief Terry Martin said the lone occupant in the home at the timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a 14-yearold boyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;was uninjured in the fire, but the gar-

age was â&#x20AC;&#x153;gutted.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we arrived on the scene it was heavy fire throughout the whole three-bay garage area,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is obviously a little bit of heat and smoke damage, but the remainder of the house is fairly intact.â&#x20AC;? Although the matter is still under investigation and is not considered suspicious, Martin confirmed the fire started in the garage. When KBRFR departments first received the fire call there were reports of

an explosion. But looking at the garage on Wednesday morning Martin said it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an explosion that would destroy a structure, it was maybe something small, like a camp stove

ffor You & Your Family

propane canister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there was an explosion in the garage area, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to warrant destroying the structure,â&#x20AC;? he said. Martin noted that fire separation between

garage area and house helped prevent its spread to the living quarters. However, smoke traveled into the attic space and will likely now need repair.

Van collides with logging truck BY TIMES STAFF On Tuesday morning hail on the Paulson Summit pass of Highway 3 contributed to a motor vehicle accident when an empty logging truck hit an oncoming Alberta family in a minivan. Martin said the van was damaged quite extensively but the family only sustained minor injuries

and was transported to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was lots of hail and it was on the roads and it was slippery so the road conditions werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good for this time of the year,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody has winter tires on at this time of the year, we all have summer tires.â&#x20AC;?

Broadband service to get a big boost BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

The city’s synergy will be taking a step forward with a new fibre network planned for the downtown core. The new project in partnership with the Columbia Basin Broadband Corporation (CBBC) and the City of Trail will create a high tech hub in the downtown core through a proposed fibre build. For a net cost of $54,768 to the city from prior years’ surplus, the $300,000 project will provide a higher level of affordable broadband service to private property owners and could generate additional economic development in the city, read an April report to Trail city council. “With conventional retail effectively disappearing the city must look at ways of diversify(ing) the use of property in the downtown and this service provides one way of facilitating this change,” the report stated. While the new network won’t create free wireless in the downtown core, it would provide some further efficiency with one fibre with twice as much capacity and at half of the cost, said Mark Halwa, CBBC chief operating officer. “We think it will provide the next level of communications, not equivalent to what is in Vancouver, but better, in downtown Trail, and we are doing it on a cost sharing basis which makes economic sense,” he said. Such a service would help attract “knowledge” workers to the city because a very high-speed network would be an appealing thing—drawing in the six figure incomes into the local economy, said Halwa. On June 25 council also received confirmation of a $50,000 grant from the Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust towards the project. Having a high tech downtown was identified in a previous council commissioned study as a high priority, said Mayor Dieter Bogs, connecting the downtown with a fibre network. “It’s going to be a very important project that gives us the ability to light up a fair section of our downtown area,” he said. The project will be a test and a market survey will be completed to determine what the appetite will be from the merchants for this kind of service, Bogs added. The new network would connect all city facilities, increase the city’s capability to implement new technology and save money each year on connectivity fees that would otherwise be paid to a third party. The city had partnered with the now dissolved Columbia Mountain Open Network to install a significant amount of municipally-owned fibre a number of years ago. CBBC will oversee the project along with its intent to connect the Canada Post building on Pine Avenue as the hub for expansion of core services. For the city, fibre services will expand from Cedar Avenue to the Columbia River, and from Spokane Street to the Trail Memorial Centre.

PROVINCIAL Vancouver real estate prices hit lowest level in decade THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER Vancouver home sales hit their lowest level in more than a decade in June, falling 17.2 per cent from May, and tilting the market in favour of buyers, the city’s real estate board said Wednesday.

However, despite a drop in the number of sales, prices in what was once the country’s hottest real estate market have remained firm, the board said. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reported 2,362 sales in June,

which is a decline from 2,853 in May and also off 27.6 per cent from a year earlier when there were 3,262 sales. However, despite the lower sales numbers, the housing price index for residential properties in Vancouver was still up 1.7 per cent

from a year ago. “Overall conditions have trended in favour of buyers in our marketplace in recent months,” board president Eugen Klein said. “This means buyers are facing less competition and have more selection to choose from compared to earlier in the year.” The board said June sales were the lowest total for the month in the region since 2000. June sales of detached properties in Vancouver totalled 921, down from 1,471 in June 2011, while the price for detached properties increased 3.3 per cent from a year ago to $961,600. Sales of apartments slipped 19 per cent to 1,026 in June from 1,266 a year ago. The benchmark price of an apartment increased 0.3 per cent from June 2011 to $376,200. Meanwhile, there

were 415 attached property sales in June, down from 525 a year ago, while the benchmark price decreased 0.1 per cent from a year ago to $468,400. Vancouver has been one of the country’s hottest housing markets, but has shown signs of cooling in recent months. New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in the Greater Vancouver region totalled 5,617 in June, down from 6,927 new listings in May and from 5,793 new properties a year ago. The total number of residential property listings on the board’s MLS service was 18,493, up 3.27 per cent from May and up 22 per cent from this time last year. The slow down in sales in Vancouver comes ahead of changes by Ottawa to tighten mortgage lending in Canada.

VANCOUVER - A repentant Stanley Cup rioter has been spared jail time, despite the recommendations of Crown prosecutors. Robert Snelgrove has been sentenced to three months of house arrest, which he must serve at his parent’s home in Coquitlam. The 25-year-old surrendered to police the day after the June 15, 2011 riot, admitted to looting cosmetics from the Sears department store, and pleaded guilty to participating in a riot and a charge of break and enter. Provincial court judge Gregory Rideout took those actions into account, imposed a two month curfew, $500 fine and ordered Snelgrove to write a letter of apology to the City of Vancouver. Police records show more than 300 charges have been approved against 121 people, but only two jail terms have been imposed so far - one for 17 months and another for 30 days - in the wake of the violence and looting that followed the Vancouver Canucks’ loss in Game Seven of the 2011 Stanley Cup final.

Cooked contracts found THE CANADIAN PRESS

Soaked Alberta town declares emergency THE CANADIAN PRESS YOUNGSTOWN, Alta. - A village in east-central Alberta has had to declare a local state of emergency because of too much rain. Youngstown Coun. Ken Johnson says almost 180 millimetres of rain fell in one overnight period last week and another 25 millimetres fell on the weekend. Johnson says the water has forced the local diner to close because of damage to its foundation and almost every basement in town is wet. The village has lost power to its pumping station so it has had to bring in vacuum trucks to haul away sewer waste. The problem is that drains were overwhelmed by water flooding the highway. Johnson suggests the situation should be under control in about a week - if the rain stays away.

Police said detectives were notified Wednesday that the body part found in Angrignon Park on Sunday was Linâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head. Police said Linâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family was informed of the match. Authorities had previously said the only body part missing from the gruesome dismemberment was the head. Luka Rocco Magnotta has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the death and will appear in court next year.

OTTAWA, Ont. - A federal watchdog has blown the whistle on a series of cooked contracts at a government agency that teaches ethics to public servants. The blistering findings mark the second time in less than a year that Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s procurement ombudsman has discovered bureaucrats carefully tailoring contract requirements to get the suppliers they prefer. The latest case involves a dozen training contracts - together worth $170,000 awarded by the Canada School of Public Service between 2009 and 2011. Ombudsman Frank Brunetta found that the school split contract amounts and generally stacked the deck so that a retired public servant who was already collecting a pension could get all the work. Brunettaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report cites inappropriate

sole-source contracts awarded repeatedly, even after key officials at the school warned against the practice. The Canada School of Public Service is a federal agency that, among other things, provides values and ethics training to federal public servants. The report, submitted last week to Public Works Minister Rona Ambrose, determined the school was â&#x20AC;&#x153;favouring an existing contractor by issuing repetitive sole source contracts and contract splitting.â&#x20AC;? In July last year, Brunetta found parallel problems at the Public

Service Commission of Canada, which issued four sole-source contracts crafted in a way that ensured favoured workers got hired. The public service commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role is to ensure transparency and openness in the hiring process. The Canada School of Public Service was created in 2004 to â&#x20AC;&#x153;foster a common sense of purpose, values and traditions in the public service.â&#x20AC;? The school currently has an annual budget of $101 million and 744 employees, though recently announced it is getting out of language training.

ofi Annan does the best he can. At least he’s back in harness, doing what he does best: trying to make peace where there is no hope of peace. The rest of them do the best they can, too, give or take the odd Russian. Well, not exactly the best they can, but at least they do enough to make it look like they’re trying. And you can’t really blame them for faking it, because they all know it that it can’t work. On Saturday Kofi Annan, ex-United Nations SecretaryGeneral and now special UN envoy for Syria, announced that a special “action group” meeting in Geneva had come up with a plan to stop the carnage in Syria. Or at least a faint hope. Or not, as the case may be. The five permanent members of the UN Security Council were there, plus some of the biggest regional players (but not Iran, which backs the Syrian regime, or Saudi Arabia, which supports the rebels). They condemned “the continued escalating killing” and agreed that there must be a “transitional government body with full executive powers.” Then they all went outside and spat into the wind, just to show how

determined they were. I made up the last bit, but they might as well have done that. The final communique said that the transitional government “could include members of the present government and the opposition and other groups and shall be formed on the basis of mutual consent.” US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed victory, saying it clearly signalled to President Bashar al-Assad that he must step down. But it didn’t, actually. An early draft of the communique said that “those whose continued presence and participation would undermine the credibility of the transitional government” – Bashar al-Assad, in other words – should be excluded, but that wording was gone from the final document. So Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said he was delighted with the outcome, since “no foreign solution” was being imposed on Syria. Meanwhile, the Syrian National Council, the most coherent opposition group, said it would reject any plan that did not include the unconditional departure of Assad, his family, and his close associates. Assad himself told Iranian television

GWYNNE

DYER World Affairs that no amount of foreign pressure would make his government change its policy. And on Friday, the day before the Geneva meeting, an estimated 190 people were killed in Syria, most of them by the government. Assad’s regime has now killed around as many people – 16,000, by last count – as his father did in suppressing the last revolt against the regime in 1982. He must take hope from the fact that his father, in the end, terrorized all opposition into silence, and ruled on until his death in 2000. Bashar might win, too – and besides, what choice has he, at this point, but to fight until the last ditch? So many people have already been slaughtered by Assad’s troops and their Alawite militia allies that there is no forgiveness left

among the opposition. There is so little trust that a negotiated handover of power could not succeed even if Assad wanted that. His only remaining options are victory, exile or death. It bears repeating that this is not how the Arab Spring ended up. It’s just how Syria has ended up, after eight months of nonviolent demonstrations in the face of extreme regime violence gave way to armed resistance. The other Arab revolutions have not been drowned in blood (with the exception of Bahrain), and some of them, like Tunisia’s and Egypt’s, have already wrought huge changes. There’s even another one starting up in Sudan right now. Two things make Syria different. One is its extreme religious and ethnic complexity, which makes it hard for protesters to maintain a united front against a regime that is adept at playing on inter-group fears and resentments. The other is that Assad heads the Syrian Baath Party, an utterly ruthless machine for seizing and holding power that copied much of its organization and discipline from the Communists. Why, then, would we

expect it to behave any better than its former twin, the Iraqi Baath Party that was led by Saddam Hussein? Even the party’s role as the political vehicle for a religious minority was the same: Alawites in Syria, Sunni Muslims in Iraq. So if you were wondering how Saddam Hussein would have responded to the Arab Spring, now you know: just like Bashar alAssad is responding. (At this point in the argument, the American neocons will be getting ready to claim that the US invasion of Iraq was a blessing for Iraq after all. Not so fast, boys. Iraq is still not a very democratic place, and at least ten times as many Iraqis as Syrians have already been killed in the process.) How long will the killing in Syria last? Until the rebels win, or until they are crushed. Are they going to win? Nobody knows. Will the neighbouring countries get dragged into the fighting? Probably not, although Lebanon is seriously at risk. Can Kofi Annan, the United Nations or the great powers do anything about this? Not a thing.

Gas prices Too much white in park confusing Oil has dropped over $20 a barrel. Whenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the price of gas going to come down? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less expensive in the Okanagan. Hmmmmm. Sharon Deyotte Montrose

I just wanted to say how much I used to like to come down to Jubliee Park and look at all the gorgeous flowers, especially the begonia bed as it was just beautiful. Now I live down here and I could hardly wait until they finished to go see, I really canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember when I was so disappointed. All the flowers are white. Someone must want to make it look like winter all year.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why they would waste money on a camera because I cannot see anyone wanting to steal them. I just wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be worth the effort. As for me, when I walk down there I will just look at the river. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be stopping there any more, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a graveyard soon enough without looking at some before I get there. Gladys Sedgewick, Trail

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Progressiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a misnomer for NDP plan The NDP talking points are out and the new buzzwords are â&#x20AC;&#x153;Progressiveâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;NeoConservativeâ&#x20AC;? (Two new solitudes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Part 2, Trail Times July 3). Surprise, surprise. The NDP sees itself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;progressiveâ&#x20AC;? and believes that government has a role in our economic, social and environmental lives. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not any different from other political parties except for one major lapse. The NDP never fully explains how it will pay for â&#x20AC;&#x153;investing more in education and training, providing affordable housing, childcare and pensions, increasing personal and community

health, increasing the numbers in a productive workforce, reducing health care expenses and making business more competitive.â&#x20AC;? One the one hand the NDP talks about increasing the numbers in a productive workforce and making business more competitive while on the other, it wants to cripple the oil sands industry and deny Alberta a pipeline to get its oil to new Asian markets. Many of the oil sands workers come from all over Canada, including Atamanenkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s riding and Thomas Mulcairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quebec province. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole French-

speaking contingent up there in the oil sands patch. These oil sands workers put food on the table in their home communities and provide a future for their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education. But not to worry. When the NDP kills the oil sands jobs, both Mulcair and Atamanenko will find good paying jobs in their home communities for all the displaced workers. Sure, they will, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re â&#x20AC;&#x153;progressiveâ&#x20AC;? after all. And when they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find them jobs, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put them on government pogey. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the NDP â&#x20AC;&#x153;progressiveâ&#x20AC;? way. Rose Calderon Trail

Oda leaves questionable legacy An editorial from the New Glasgow News The prime minister tried to put a bright face on Bev Odaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impending retirement. And we should commend anyone who strives to serve politically. But most folks will remember Bev Oda for one thing. Well, more than one thing actually: what will stand out will be the $16 glasses of orange juice, the luxury car and driver hired for $1,000 a day and rejecting an already-posh hotel room in favour of one at twice the price. The issue involving the International

Co-operation minister that never saw resolution, however, was her single-handed treatment in 2009 of the aid organization Kairos. Much to the dismay of church leaders and organizations across the country, Kairos, which spearheads various projects in partnership with people in developing countries, was turned down by an infamous dash of a pen. Many Canadians will recall that Oda originally claimed the Canadian International Development Agency did not approve funding for Kairos because

it had failed to meet the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standards. Later, Canadians learned of the untruth. A document came to light showing that CIDA officials had actually granted approval for the funding, but she had the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;notâ&#x20AC;? inserted into the approval form. That eventually prompted one of Odaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apologies to the House of Commons for false statements, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear up the issue. Most wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised by politicians misleading opponents and the public in their actions, intentions and motives. But how

is it that a cabinet minister should have the authority to meddle with an approval process that presumably involved extensive criteria and a lot of deliberation on the part of a national agency? The subterfuge suggests individual, highly subjective judgment on the part of one cabinet minister perhaps in league with others. International relations - and who is granted favour and for what reasons - can spark strong feelings. We need to know how someone can undermine such a process on a personal whim.

FOURTH OF JULY HOT DOG EATING CONTEST

‘Jaws’ captures sixth straight title THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Joey Chestnut ate his way to a sixth straight win at the Fourth of July hot dog eating contest at Coney Island on Wednesday, tying his personal best in a sweaty, gaginducing spectacle. The 28-year-old San Jose, Calif., man nicknamed “Jaws” scarfed down 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes in the sweltering summer heat to take home US$10,000 and the mustard yellow belt. He bested his main rival by 16 dogs. “I feel good, it was a great win,” Chestnut said after the contest, adding he wished he could have eaten a record number of hot dogs for the audience. “I tried my best. I’m looking forward to next year already.” Second place went to Tim Janus of New York with 52 hot dogs, who received $5,000. Third place went to Patrick Bertoletti of Chicago with 51, who won $2,500. Chestnut was neck-andneck with competitors during the first half of the contest, but he pulled ahead in the remaining minutes, choking down dog after dog, while other competitors slowed as the clock wound down. “I’m happy to come out with the win,” he said. Sonya Thomas, of Alexandria, Va., downed 45 wieners to win the women’s competition. She reached her goal of eating 45 in the time limit - her age - and took home her own pink champion’s belt and $10,000. Thomas, known as the “Black Widow” of competitive eating, won last year as well, the first time a separate contest was held for women. Juliet Lee, of Germantown, Md., took second place with 33 and won $5,000. Lee also won second place last year. Third place went to Michelle Lesco, of Tuscon, Ariz., who received

Tim “Eater X” Janus, left, and five-time reigning champion Joey Chestnut, right, compete in the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating World Championship, Wednesday in the Brooklyn borough of New York. Chestnut won his sixth straight Coney Island hot dog eating contest. $2,500 for downing 25 1/2. Thomas said she started to feel sick while eating but kept pushing so she could win the title. “There is a limit so I have to fight,” she said. Thomas said next year she’s going to beat her record again and eat 46. “Because I’m going to be 46 next year,” she said. The Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest has been a city tradition for 97 years. Tens of thousands of spectators gather to gawk as contestants shimmy, slither and bounce as they dip hot dogs in water and cram them down their throats. For some, it’s a painful reminder of excess - especially

as the U.S. battles a growing obesity problem. The American Medical Association opposes competitive eating, saying it’s harmful to the human body. But the competitive eaters are quite trim. Chestnut is over six feet tall and a muscly 210 pounds, and Thomas, who is five foot five, weighed in at barely 100 pounds. Hot dogs, though, aren’t the healthiest of choices. In addition to beef, they include salt and various food additives. Chestnut’s total dog count was equal to more than 20,000 calories. This year, the animal rights group Mercy For Animals staged a protest against eating meat, with signs that read “Choose Vegetarian.” Chestnut is now tied with his former rival, Takeru Kobayashi,

for consecutive wins. The slim Japanese champ held the record for hot dog eating from 2001 to 2007, when he was unseated by Chestnut. But two years ago, after refusing to sign an exclusive contract with Major League Eating, the food equivalent of the NFL, he was banned from competition. He showed up anyway, wearing a T-shirt that said “Free Kobi,” rushed the stage and was arrested, but charges were later dropped. Last year, the Japanese native nicknamed the “Tsunami” held an unofficial contest from a rooftop eating near a giant plasma TV airing the official competition live. He was out of the public eye Wednesday.

BILL BARLEE

Former MLA was also accomplished writer THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - Bill Barlee, a former British Columbia cabinet minister who served in the NDP government during the 1990s, has died. Barlee passed away June 14, following a life that spanned eight decades and included the careers of politician, teacher, author, tele-

vision host and publisher. Born in Grand Forks in 1932, Barlee served as a member of the legislative assembly in the ridings of BoundarySimilkameen and OkanaganBoundary between 1988 and 1996. During that time, he served as ministers of agriculture, fisheries and food, and small

business, tourism and culture. In a statement issued today, Premier Christy Clark says she was saddened to hear of Barlee’s passing and notes that as agriculture minister he implemented the Buy BC program, a logo that is now seen on almost every food product grown in the province. After leaving provincial

politics, Barlee ran unsuccessfully for the federal Liberals in the riding of KootenayBoundary-Okanagan in the 2000 election. Besides politics, Barlee published a local history magazine, several books and co-hosted the popular TV series, “Gold Trails and Ghost Towns.”

LIFESTYLES

More women enjoying the two-wheel freedom Number of female motorcycle riders continues to grow THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Cris Baldwin was 7 when she commandeered her brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minibike on their Wisconsin dairy farm and first felt the wind in her face. More than 250,000 miles and 42 years later, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still two wheels and a gas tank for the school administrator. Baldwin is an assistant dean at Washington University in St. Louis, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one part of her. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also past president and a chapter founder of the 30-year-old Women on Wheels, one of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest and largest motorcycle clubs for women at about 2,000 members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really is freeing from your day to day obligations, enjoying the â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trade moment, not thinking about bills or it for anything. sending kids to colItâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my two-wheel lege,â&#x20AC;? Baldwin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I therapy.â&#x20AC;? wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trade it for anything. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my twoCRIS BALDWIN wheel therapy.â&#x20AC;? The number of women motorcycle operators in the U.S. has increased slowly to about 7.2 million of about 27 million overall in 2009, according to the latest survey by the Motorcycle Industry Council. About 1 in 10 owners are women, said Cam Arnold, a vice-president for the trade group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hate riding on the back of a bike,â&#x20AC;? Arnold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more fun being in control.â&#x20AC;? The American Motorcyclist Association has about 225,000 members. The number of women is under 10 per cent, but the number of new women members has increased, driven in part by a higher profile for women on two wheels, more training opportunities and better equipment, said AMA board member Maggie McNally. Dozens of female-only motorcycle clubs have joined more established groups like Women on Wheels. The makers of bikes and gear are reaching out to women like never before through special events and marketing campaigns that include Harley-Davidsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Doubts. No Cages.â&#x20AC;? program. Women no longer have to endure jackets, gloves and helmets designed for men. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to find or modify bikes for shorter bodies, said McNally, the AMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice chairwoman and the highest-ranking female in the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 75-year history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only 5-1,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wore boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work boots for years and found the perfect gloves only three years ago. Things have changed a lot. Manufacturers today have realized that women are a huge part of the market.â&#x20AC;? McNally started riding in 1981 after hanging out with friends, thinking up dream cars, in a Troy, N.Y., parking lot, the same parking lot where she now teaches newbies of both sexes how to ride

safely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said that I wanted to get a motorcycle and one of the guys said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, girls donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ride motorcycles,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;He shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be telling a temperamental redhead what she can and cannot do.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I had my permit within a week.â&#x20AC;? Whether they prefer dirt or the open road, a scooter or a Harley, thousands of women will gather July 26-29 in Carson City, Nev., for the AMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixth International Women & Motorcycling Conference. Many will be mothers, an anxious status for some when it comes to riding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People were shocked that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell my bike when I became a mom,â&#x20AC;? McNally said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I knew that once the bike was gone, I might never get back into the sport.â&#x20AC;? When her second child came along, she and her husband bought a sidecar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Riding and motorcycle camping became a family activity that probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been possible otherwise,â&#x20AC;? she said. Baldwin is a mom who rode. So did her 23-yearold daughter, until she gave up two wheels for four when she got her driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license years ago. At 5-3 and about 150 pounds, Baldwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ride is a 700-pound Harley â&#x20AC;&#x153;cloneâ&#x20AC;? designed and built by her husband. Her mom, now 69, was an inspiration, tearing around their farm on a trail bike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She gave up riding because she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find other women to ride with. And my dad was totally against it,â&#x20AC;? Baldwin said. Women are generally more interested in formal safety training than men, with 58 per cent of women taking a rider course, compared with 44 per cent of men, according to the AMA. Harley-Davidson, based in Milwaukee, is the market leader in sales to women. The company travels around the country offering training and safety tips for women, including a recent event outside Manhattanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flatiron Building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard from enough women who think they might like to do it but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to get started,â&#x20AC;? said Claudia Garber, director of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outreach for Harley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worried about things like the bike seems too big and too heavy for me, or maybe I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know other women who ride.â&#x20AC;? Lizzy Dabczynski, 22, from Salt Lake City, hopped on as Harleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experts showed her how to turn on their demo bike and work the clutch, gas and brakes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been terrified of motorcycles, but it was fun,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was easier and way less scary than I thought it would be.â&#x20AC;?

Sadly all good things must come to an end. After 14 years of entertaining battles and brouhahas, the final bell has tolled for AM Ford Fight Night. The annual Mixed Martial Arts melee at the Cominco Arena every April has attracted fighters from across North America and promoted and enhanced the careers of Pride Gym fighters. The AM Ford Fight Nights introduced worldclass grapplers like numberthree ranked Morgan-River Jones, nationally ranked Brad Causey and Wesley Neil, former Canadian Lightweight title holder Gavin Neil and the likes of Cody McKenzie to Trail MMA fans, but “no more,” says organizer and Pride Gym trainer Glen Kalesniko. “If somebody wants me to match-make or do something like that I would do that in another event, but for the big one - that’s it for

me.” Rising costs and decreasing attendance set back the last two Fight Nights, and with the prospect of a new provincial athletic commission taking over the responsibility of regulating MMA cards, the expenses are likely to increase even more. “The risk is so great now, and I just see the slide of it. I mean we’re not gaining any people, if anything we’re losing people, and with the costs skyrocketing from travel to more government costs now that they’re involved, and they want security, and policing -- everything comes with a price tag.” On May 7, the Ministry of Community, Sport, and Cultural Development announced that it will form a provincial athletic commission to replace the nearly 10 B.C. municipal commissions already in existence. The new commission will regulate and supervise professional contests such as boxing, kick-boxing, and MMA.

Kalesniko admits that it will make events less cumbersome to get off the ground. By having a centralized provincial commission, organizers won’t have to set up their own commissions in towns that don’t have them. “But again, everybody that is small or are in the Interior areas or up north are going to have a really big cost coming with it.” Municipalities like Trail and Cranbrook are worried that costs for a provincial commissioner to come and monitor an event would be prohibitive. “We welcome and support the establishment of the provincial commission and its mandate of uniform and consistent standards,” Scott McLeod, chair of the Cranbrook commission told the Cranbrook Townsman. “(But) any event promoted here would be considerably smaller and less profitable than the one in the major municipal centres on the coast, yet the costs of the provincial commission would likely be substantial-

ly larger.” Kalesniko also points to the Ontario athletic commission that instituted extensive mandatory testing for fighters. Ontario requires out-of-province fighters to provide results of an MRI or CT scan, ECG and eye examination as well as HIV and Hepatitis B/C tests. Fighters are also subject to pre- and post-fight medical testing. While safety is a concern, if the B.C. commission was to follow suit, it would severely impact most of the smaller events,” he added. “If you have 20 fighters and you had to do MRIs for everybody, your cost would be another $20,000.” Despite the Fight Night demise, the Fruitvale native says Pride Gym fighters will keep competing and the Element’s Caged Rage fights in Castlegar will continue. “We’ll go to outside shows and do other fights, save me the headache. I had great support from my sponsors, but I needed more from the city and from the fans.”

GOLF

B.C. Women’s Amateur tees off at Christina BY TIMES STAFF Christina Lake Golf Club is hosting the B.C. Amateur and Mid-Amateur Golf tournament this week with some local flavour rounding out the fields. Trail’s Kate Weir teed off in the Amateur on Tuesday carding an opening round of 84, and followed that up with an improved round of 81 on Wednesday. Her combined score of 165 put her in a tie for 40th, just

enough to make the cut for the 72 hole gross-stroke play tournament. Wanda Flack of Fruitvale also hit the fairways in the Mid-Amateur, shooting a respectable 88 in the first round and 87 Wednesday for a share of 15th place with Creston’s Cherie Baker in the 54-hole competition The BC Mid-Amateur Women’s Championship, for golfers age 25 and over, is a gross-stroke play competition

with no cut and includes the Master-40 Division for players aged 40 and older as of the first day of the competition. After two days, 2010 amateur champion Christine Wong of Richmond leads the bid for the Flumerfelt Cup after shooting a 69 Wednesday, and 5-under for the tournament. Kyla Inaba of Kelowna leads the Mid-Amateur with a two-day score of 4-under par.

Since 1978, the BC Winter and BC Summer Games have been hosted in 38 different communities around the province. The BC Games have become part of the historical record of communities and for many, an honour and experience that has inspired them to build a vibrant sport tourism industry. Long before sport tourism was identified as an important part of the tourism industry, the BC Winter and BC Summer Games were demonstrating the valuable impact of sport events. Besides the obvious economic benefits ($1.8 million to $2.6 million), the BC Games bring a community together, train leaders, and create exposure and recognition opportunities. Sport tourism is growing at a consistently strong rate, despite the trends that have shown a declining tourism industry in recent years. According to the Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance, spending associated with sport tourism in Canada reached $3.6 billion in 2010, an 8.8 per cent increase in two years. This continues sport tourism’s trend of being one of the fastest growing industry segments within Canada’s tourism industry. The number of B.C. communities becoming active in sport tourism continues to grow. The BC Games Society and Tourism BC comanage the HostingBC.ca website which provides a sport hosting portfolio for B.C. sport hosting destinations, including an inventory of sport facilities, sport hosting experience, photo galleries, maps, technical venue information, support services, and key contacts. “Strategically, hosting sport events can bring economic value, social benefits and civic pride to a community. Some of these benefits occur at the time of the event, and others are legacies that return value to the community over many years,” said Laura Plant, Manager of Community Partnerships with Tourism BC, a division of the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation. The City of Kamloops hosted the very first BC Winter Games in 1979, which was a defining

moment for the community. Up to that point, Kamloops had struggled with a clear identity and the BC Games brought the community together in a way that was a catalyst for Kamloops to become “Canada’s Tournament Capital” and a leader in sport tourism initiatives. “Hosting the BC Winter Games really started Kamloops’ interest in sport tourism. The community was engaged and inspired and we have seen that continue through the countless events we have hosted since,” said Sean Smith, Kamloops Tournament Capital Coordinator. “Another important benefit for the community is the volunteer skills that are developed with individuals making a greater and greater difference with every event.” The 2012 BC Summer Games will take place in Surrey, July 19 to 22. Tourism Surrey and the City of Surrey recently developed and implemented a new sport tourism strategy with the purpose of attracting sport events and increase visitation to Surrey. The strategy includes plans for facility upgrades, as well as support for sport event organizers bringing events to the City. “To advance Surrey’s Sport Tourism Strategy, Sport Surrey, a partnership between the City of Surrey and Tourism Surrey, was created to increase sport tourism, recognizing the importance of generating economic benefits and contributing to sport development,” said Councillor Linda Hepner, Chair of the City’s Parks, Recreation & Sport Tourism Committee. “Hosting the BC Summer Games in 2012 will allow Surrey to showcase our award-winning facilities and our ability to host major sporting events.” Athletes, coaches, officials, and volunteers at the BC Summer Games will be treated to warm hospitality, tremendous facilities, and a strong sense of pride from the City of Surrey. The Games will most certainly be a catalyst for Surrey and future host communities to continue to capitalize on sport tourism and host outstanding sport events.

SPORTS BIRCHBANK RETIREES GOLF

Tseng eyes U.S. Open THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RAYMOND MASLECK PHOTO

KOHLER, Wis. - With a victory in the U.S. Women’s Open at Blackwolf Run this week, Yani Tseng would become the youngest player ever to complete a career Grand Slam of victories in each major tournament, beating out Tiger Woods by a year.

Tom Keen (left) captured low-gross title last week at the Birchbank Retirees Club Championship, and Colin Rintoul was low net. The team title for total low net score went to Russ Babcock, Al Pasin, Farrell McLellan, and Norm Lamour.

The 23-year-old native of Taiwan won three times on the LPGA Tour earlier this year, but is struggling going into Thursday’s first round. She acknowledges that completing the career slam is “hard to not think about” but says she feels good going into the tournament.

NHL

Free agents gone Wild THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Call it a Wild day for Minnesota, a team that landed not one but both of the NHL’s top players available in free agency: Forward Zach Parise and defenceman Ryan Suter. “WE GOT ‘EM!” the Wild announced on their Twitter account early Wednesday afternoon. Both players were regarded the cream of what was a thin free agent crop, and each had spent the past four days poring over numerous offers from several teams before making a decision. Parise leaves the New Jersey Devils, while Suter leaves the Nashville Predators in joining forces to take their talents far from South Beach, but instead to the Land of 1,000 Lakes Each player agreed to a 13-year contract, the team said Wednesday. Terms of the deals were not immediately announced, but each contact was expected to be in the $100

million range. Parise was the best forward on the market. He scored 31 goals and 69 points last season in his first year as the Devils’ captain. He also chipped in with 15 points in helping the team’s surprise run to the Stanley Cup finals, which ended in a six-game series loss to Los Angeles. Drafted 17th overall by New Jersey in 2003, the 27-year-old is from Minnesota and has 194 goals and 216 assists in 503 career games. He scored 30-plus goals five times. Suter, also 27, was the top defenceman available this summer. He spent all seven of his season in the NHL with the Predators after being selected with the seventh pick in the 2005 draft. The All-Star defenceman had career highs in points last year, with 7 goals and 39 assists. Parise tried to explain why he needed more than a few days to announce his intentions, say-

ing he was evaluating each team and city that was trying to sign him. Second-tier free agents such as defenceman Matt Carle and forward Alexander Semin seemed to be waiting for Suter and Praise to reach agreements so that they could offer their talents to teams that didn’t get a top target. The Detroit Red Wings were among the teams to take a run at both players, and were most interested in Suter as a player who could fill in after captain Nicklas Lidstrom retired. “We feel good about our offer to Suter and Parise on July 1, and with our chance to adjust our offer to Suter on July 2,” Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said by phone. Holland said team owner Mike Ilitch and coach Mike Babcock joined him in making a presentation to Suter, but didn’t have the same opportunity to make a presentation to Parise.

REGIONAL

East Kootenay slowly recovering from flooding BY STEVE JESSEL Invermere Valley Echo

After a period of massive rainfall and mountain runoff that played havoc across British Columbia, the East Kootenay region is slowly recovering from its own array of damages. In Invermere, Kinsmen Beach was the most easily recognizable area to suffer, as flooding from Lake Windermere nearly engulfed the entire parking lot. According to District of Invermere chief administrative officer Chris Prosser, Kinsmen Beach is suffering from localized flooding, and while the new amenity building suffered no damage, the district is expecting erosion to occur behind

the new foreshore restoration, although they are not sure by how much. The district has had crews working since June 26, at times well into the night, on flood preventative measures, and have a stock of sand and sandbags on hand and are monitoring the situation. “I have seen Kinsmen Beach flooded like this back in 2002,” Prosser said via email. “2007 was close, but with the rainfall we are experiencing it is making it difficult as there is more snow melt to occur.” The district is also reporting damages to municipal infrastructure, including road subsidence and infiltration, and increased flows into the sewer

system. Along Westside Road near Castlerock Estates, water affected the structure of the retaining wall and caused it to collapse. Currently, the situation has been reviewed by the district’s geotechnical engineer, and immediate recommendations to protect persons and property were to be carried out on June 29. At that time, the district was waiting for a final report from their engineers prior to proceeding any further. Prosser advises all residents to be vigilant and prepared in case of further rainfall. Some of the worst damage in the region was felt in Wasa, as Wasa Lake saw extremely high water

levels beginning on June 26. As heavy rainfall battered the East Kootenay region, the lake was rising at a rate of one inch per hour. Water levels rose another six inches on June 28, prompting the RDEK to seek the public’s co-operation in keeping boats off the lake. As of June 29, the RDEK had dropped off approximately 15,000 sand bags and 18 loads of sand to the Wasa Community Hall to assist with flood efforts. Several homes had experienced flooding, and Ministry of Forests crews were aiding in sandbagging efforts. “The water is literally lapping at the door of some homes and cab-

The Marble Canyon Campground has been reopened after Parks workers managed to save the vehicle bridge through some quick action. ins. In other areas, residents have spent hours and hours sandbagging to protect their homes and our concern is that the wake and rough waters caused by boats could not only increase water in the affected homes, but knock down the sandbags that have been so carefully placed,” explained RDEK information officer Loree Duczek in a June 29 release. In Kootenay National Park, the highest water levels in recent memory led to the damage

and near destruction of eight different bridges to varying degrees. Most notably, the Paint Pots bridge was practically destroyed by flood waters, and similar trail bridge damages forced closure of a number of trails, including Paint Pots, Stanley Glacier and Dog Lake. Parks Canada communication officer Omar McDadi, who has lived in the area for some eight or nine years, said he’s never seen water levels this high before, a comment many of his

colleagues shared. “People who have been here much longer than I have are saying they’ve never seen such high water levels and flooding events of this nature,” McDadi said. “Right now we’re in a recovery and assessment period, where we’re hoping to salvage as much of the bridges as we can, and then we’ll decide once we know the full extent of the damage, we’ll prioritize what’s going to be fixed in the immediate future.”

LEISURE

Brother should help find job, home for underage girlfriend Dear Annie: My younger brother, “Gary,” is 27 years old and lives in a twobedroom apartment. I recently found out from a mutual friend that he is living with “Debbie,” a 17-year-old dropout. This girl quit high school, had a fight with her parents and showed up on Gary’s doorstep asking to use his spare bedroom. He reluctantly agreed to let her stay temporarily. On the second night there, Debbie decided to sleep in Gary’s bed, and you can guess what happened. I love my brother, and he is the most considerate and straitlaced person I know, but he is very immature when it comes to the opposite sex. I was shocked by his bad judgment and asked what he possibly could have been thinking. Gary said he didn’t know Debbie was underage until after the fact. He worried about what Debbie’s parents might

do. As it turns out, her parents were glad their daughter wasn’t living on the streets. Debbie will be 18 in four months, but isn’t this still against the law? I can’t believe her parents are so nonchalant about it. My parents live out of state and know nothing about it. Should I tell them? Should I express my concerns to Debbie’s parents or just hope that Gary will come to his senses? -Disappointed Sister Dear Sister: The age of consent varies by state, and even in states where the age is 18, there are variations on the severity of the punishment.

But we agree that if this is illegal in your state, Gary could be in a world of trouble. Decide what you hope to accomplish by telling your parents or chastising Debbie’s folks. Then urge Gary to help this almost-adult find a decent job and her own place. Soon. Dear Annie: My husband is a chain cigar smoker. He refuses to acknowledge that the secondhand smoke is hazardous to my son and me, not to mention to his own health. Somewhere along the way, he was convinced that cigars aren’t as bad as cigarettes. However, I think the secondhand smoke is heavier and therefore more dangerous to those around him. Any information you can provide on the dangers would be appreciated. -- Frustrated Nonsmoker Dear Frustrated: Insist that your husband smoke outside. According to

the American Cancer Society, cigars give off more secondhand smoke than cigarettes because they contain more tobacco and often burn longer. One large cigar can contain as much tobacco as a pack of cigarettes. All tobacco smoke, regardless of the source, is known to cause cancer. Secondhand smoke from cigars contains toxins and carcinogens, just like cigarettes. And because the cigar wrapper is less porous, the tobacco doesn’t burn as completely, and the result is a higher concentration of nitrogen oxides, ammonia, carbon monoxide and tar. Regular cigar smokers are four to 10 times more likely to die from cancers of the lung, lip, oral cavity, esophagus and larynx than nonsmokers. For those who inhale, cigar smoke appears to be linked to death from cancer of the pancreas and bladder, and also increases the risk of heart and

lung diseases. Dear Annie: I loved that you told “Head in the Clouds” to go ahead and live in Ireland after college graduation. She can invite discouraging family members to visit, and maybe they will understand. I, too, had

a passionate desire to travel, and although I managed to see most of the U.S. and Canada, I didn’t go abroad until I was 47. Europe enriched my life so much, and my only regret is not having gone sooner. The history, the languages, the

architecture, the art, the people, even the food added immeasurably to my life and will enrich hers. It helped me understand where I came from, and I looked at America with new eyes each time I returned. -- Salem, Ore.

LEISURE

YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Friday, July 6, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) An older female acquaintance might have good advice for you today, especially regarding partnerships or dealing with others. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You can impress bosses, parents, VIPs and the police today with your practical common sense. Others see you as someone who is wellprepared. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a good day to make long-range travel plans or even plans related to further education in the future. You’re in a sensible frame of mind and ready to look at all aspects of a situation. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You can clear up loose details with insurance matters, inheritances, taxes, debt and other red-tape matters today. Your powers of con-

centration are excellent, and you’re willing to work. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a good day to sit down with partners and discuss how to share expenses or the division of labor. You want practical results. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A productive day at work! Choose today to tackle routine jobs you normally might avoid, because you have the necessary endurance to get them done. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Discussions about children, the arts or anything that is sports-related will be serious and practical but productive. People are ready to listen. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) An older family member or relative might have suggestions about how to do something today. Why not learn from the mistakes of those who have gone before you?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because you are ready to pay attention to details, this is a good day to slog away at routine work. It’s also a good day to make long-range plans for the future. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) If shopping today, you will want to buy only practical, long-lasting items. You feel frugal and thrifty with your money, which is not unusual

because you like to avoid waste. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You’re not in a frivolous frame of mind today -- quite the opposite: You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and work hard to achieve your goals. Someone older might help or advise you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Any kind of research will pay off today if you are dig-

ging for answers. In part, this is because you are relentless and persevering in going after what you want. YOU BORN TODAY You’re involved in the lives of others because life sweeps you in certain directions and you have little choice. You learn not to hold on too tightly, to let go and move on. You strive to live in the moment and be present for each day. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved with

WHAT YOU SEE ...

Tourism projects outlined for council BY ARNE PETRYSHEN Rossland News

Tourism Rossland spoke to council last week about two separate projects it is working towards. Deanne Steven, from Tourism Rossland, outlined the two projects for members of council. The first is a proposed Rossland artwork project, which is in the concept stage. The project attempts to bridge the gap between the various groups that represent the community and have the name Rossland in them, such as the City of Rossland, Tourism Rossland and the Rossland Chamber of Commerce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is to unify our artwork across organizations to appear cohesive,â&#x20AC;? Steven said, adding that by having a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rosslandâ&#x20AC;? name that could be consistent on all of the signs, it would help to bring it together.

Steven said the strategy is to leverage the existing design features in the signage manual to create an overall design manual. She said that places like Castlegar, Elkford and Cranbrook all have implemented the strategy, designing one logo that could be used in different ways throughout the organizations. She said tourism oriented signage is also part of the process, and the project could include a website, signatures, print materials, vacation guide, bike maps and other things. Steven said it is a long-term project, which could be implemented in signage five years down the road. Steven had come to ask if council is interested in pursuing the logo design. Mayor Greg Granstrom said the project was interesting, but was most interested in the cost. Steven said the cost would be shared among the organizations,

which could lessen the burden. Coun. Fisher noted that it is more of a uniform branding and uniform way to speak to people. The other project was the resort municipality initiative. Steven said in a letter to council: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In an effort to clarify the roles and responsibilities regarding the Resort Municipality Initiative funding, the Board of Tourism Rossland is proposing to Rossland City Council the implementation of a Terms of Reference for the creation of a committee.â&#x20AC;? The goal, said Steven, is to streamline the funding process and ensure the ability to leverage other grant opportunities. Steven said that many municipalities were going through similar processes, and that Revelstoke in particular had seen a lot of success with the model. The mayor said that this would return to council, just as the earlier logo issue would.
