Transport services expanded ALICIA WALLACE Rossland News
The winter free bus and Spokane to the Kootenays shuttle have expanded their services, making it easier for visitors and residents to get here and around. The winter free bus, operating between Rossland and Red Mountain, has increased the number of stops on the schedule to include lower Rossland and Black Jack. While at the same time, Queen
City Shuttle and Charters (QCSC), who operate the service between Spokane, Rossland and Nelson, have increased operations from five to seven days a week. Every day of the week throughout the winter visitors will be able to arrive in Rossland. Having a shuttle service is one key strategic action in the Visions to Action, City of Rossland Strategic Sustainability Plan explains Deanne Steven of Tourism Rossland. “The availability of a shuttle service is critical to continuing to

attract visitors during the winter months to Rossland,” she said. This coming season passengers will be able to get on or off the free ride bus 14 times a day in lower Rossland and six times every day at Black Jack. The one-hour driver break is at 12:30 p.m., earlier in the day than last year to provide relief to the peak period between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m.

Grade six students of Rossland Summit School learned about where things go when they place them in the trash during a class program titled Beyond Recycling, facilitated by Wildsight. Wildsight offers educational programs for sustainable living to primary school students. Jess Williams of Wildsight inspired the students to consider the impact of their actions and to make positive environmental changes during the November session. The program introduces students to the topics of waste, ecological footprint, climate change and energy use. “This is not your ordinary field trip,” said Monica Nissen,

Education Program Manager for Wildsight. “The kids get to be detectives for a day, to solve the mystery of what happens to our waste once we throw it in the trash.” Students examined the contents of the local transfer station, landfill and recycling depot. “Even with all the fresh fallen snow, Mrs. Heikkilas’ grade six class could see the amount of waste that is disposed of every day at the Mckelvey landfill in Trail,” said Williams, a Beyond Recycling educator.
The class also visited the Trail Bottle Depot in the Gulch where the tour focused on product stewardship for items such as electronics, light bulbs, computers and foam food packaging. “All the students were pumped to hear about being able to recycle styrofoam and ice cream cartons,” said Williams. Rossland Summit School was one of eleven schools in the Columbia Basin region that have taken part in Wildsight’s Beyond Recycling
program this year. Teachers, parents and kids are giving it top marks. The B.C. Ministry of Education recognizes the curriculum as contributing to science learning outcomes. For more information regarding educational science and social studies programs that meet the B.C. curriculum please visit www.wildsight. ca or contact Monica Nissen, Wildsight Education Program Manager via email at monica@wildsight.ca or phone (250) 352 6346.

Teacher costs covered
School districts get funding to cover teacher wages Alicia Wallace Rossland News
The local school district can breathe a collective sigh of relief this year after the Ministry of Education confirmed it will cover costs associated with the new teachers’ contract. For the Kootenay Columbia district, that means an additional $617,000 in funding for the 2014-15 school year, intended to cover higher wages, benefits and other increases included in the new collective agreement. “The ministry has committed that government is fully funding the settlement,”
confirmed Greg Luterbach, superintendent for School District 20 (SD 20). “This is coming as a grant for this year and how the money will come in subsequent years, is still to be determined.” Luterbach explained this year’s amount and more will be needed each of the next three years to cover raises in both on-call and permanent teacher salaries and increases to their related wage sensitive benefit costs, as well as costs related to the changes in the extended health benefit plan. Overall, the province is putting up $93.6 million to fund the teachers’ agree-
ment. The share for each school district is based on provincial reports of teacher staffing, and additional district data. According to the SD 20 board chair, his past experience foretells that the government might only cover Year One costs, leaving individual districts to pay the extra out of their existing budgets. “If they refuse to fund in subsequent years it will mean layoffs and increased class sizes,” said Darrel Ganzert. “All districts will hold their breaths until the following year budget to see what the government has in mind.”

Also new this year on the free ride service is the method for recording passenger movements. Last season 19,391 passengers — 14,222 residents and 5,169 visitors — rode the bus. This was a lot of paperwork for the shuttle company who were recording this data by hand. This season sees the introduction of an app to count passenger movements. Steven describes that the app will record the number of passengers getting on at each stop throughout the day so they can identify the most popular stops and peak periods. Steven said while the bus is free for
passengers to use, “the service costs sponsors $84,223 to operate.” This is funded partially by a grant from the Resort Municipality Initiative and local business owners in Rossland. This year a donation box has also been set up on the 24-seat passenger bus. Riders can also make donations via the Tourism Rossland website. Air access into the Kootenays can be unreliable throughout the winter months, placing an increased importance on the shuttle service to and from Spokane to bring visitors to our region. This is the third year Tourism Rossland will work in part-
nership with Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism, White Water Resort and Red Mountain Resort. “We have doubled the usage of this bus in the first two years of this project and are delighted to see such a significant improvement in the use of this service,” said Steven. QCSC has been operating five days per week to Spokane for the past 15 years and this year the service will increase to seven days a week. The operator has also dropped the ticket price making a return fare $198 between Rossland and Spokane. “We are excited to expand the service and make it successful for fu-
ture years, making it easier to travel here,” said Mirek Hladik, part owner of QCSC. The partnership between the tourism organizations and the ski resorts with QCSC enables QCSC to operate the bus with a guarantee of five paid seats. If QCSC only picks up two passengers the other partners pay for the remaining three seats, ensuring QCSC has its minimum of five paid seats. The partners are able to pay for unused seats through grant funding. This grant has made the service more convenient for visitors wanting to visit our region and increased the overall skier visits, explained Hladik.

OUR VIEW
No quick fix Everyone is gearing up for the Christmas season, that wonderful time of year focused on giving. There are food drives collecting for the food bank, and campaigns of all kinds to help those in need, including toy drives trying to ensure all children have something waiting for them under the Christmas tree. This is a great thing, and it is good-hearted people that both organize and contribute to them. But the best they can hope for, and it is a good goal, is to alleviate some of the need. The sad fact is, the issue of child poverty is not going to be solved by a once-a-year campaign. According to the annual report released by First Call, a coalition of advocacy groups, child poverty is on the rise in B.C. rather than declining. The B.C. Child Poverty Report Card says 153,000 children were living below the poverty line in this province in 2012. Last year, the report said 169,240 children. First Call set out 19 recommendations in their report with a goal of reducing the provincial child poverty rate to seven per cent by 2020. The recommendations cover a range, from raising the minimum wage to increased child tax benefits and rescinding cuts to Employment Insurance. But what they all have in common is the need for provincial and federal governments to address the problem. Back in 1989 — yes, 25 years ago — all political parties in the House of Commons collectively vowed to end child poverty in a decade. We’re still waiting. And, obviously, it’s not an easy solution to come by, but when we see the enormity of the problem of child poverty, it is clear it is time for upper levels of government to join in the fight to make some long-term change. We can’t wait another 25 years.

Rossland City Council Briefs ALICIA WALLACE Rossland News
The 2015 Rossland Winter Carnival will once again have the support of the city. At their last regular meeting, Council resolved to provide in-kind support to the value of $9,500 as allocated in the financial plan along with a contingency of $5,000. Additionally staff will draft a letter to the organizing committee reminding them of a letter sent in 2013, asking the committee to find additional volunteers to reduce the cost of snow moving labour. “At this time, Council would like to bring to the attention of the
Winter Carnival Committee the escalating costs associated with the City’s participation in the Carnival. The City suggests to the Committee that they should perhaps concentrate on finding more volunteer commitment to build the site of the rail jam event,” reads the 2013 letter. In 2013 the city provided support to the tune of $17,297, an increase of 75 per cent from the previous year. The labour bill had run high due to the lack of snow. The rail jam was the main culprit for the over spend. This year organizers have given their word that they have secured

additional community support to build the rail jam. Rail jam organizers from Powerhound and Rossvegas have called on Kieren Gaul to provide a cat to assist in the construction of the competitive rail jam event. Winter Carnival organizers provided public input to the Council during the meeting and also advised not to be put off by the advertising material showing carnival dates as Jan. 29 – Jan. 32 2015. This has intentionally been done in the spirit of the carnival. The next regular meeting will be held at City Hall on Monday, Jan. 12 at 6 p.m. Everyone welcome. Chuck Bennett Publisher

Pennies for Polio To raise awareness and critically needed funds to fight the crippling disease polio, the Rotary Club of Rossland recently collected Pennies for Polio during Rossland’s Rekindle Christmas. Rotary volunteers collected donations in front of Ferraro’s from noon until 4 p.m. Over four hundred Rosslanders including many children emptied their pockets and donated their spare change in support of Rotary. The effort raised over $650 for Rotary International, the volunteer fundraising arm of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative — a public-private partnership that also includes the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), UNICEF, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This donation was tripled thanks to a 2:1 match by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, given through a current fundraising partnership with Rotary. This comes at an important time in the fight to eradicate polio, which would be only the second human disease to be eradicated. Only three countries (Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan) have never stopped transmission of the wild poliovirus. Overall, remarkable progress has been achieved in the fight against polio. Since 1988, the number of polio cases has been reduced by 99 per cent from 350,000 a year to about 400 in 2013. In 2014, Southeast Asia was certified polio-free after India eliminat-
ed the disease from its borders, an incredible feat for a country once considered the hardest place on earth to stop polio. However, in 2014, the Director-General of the World Health Organization declared polio to be a public health emergency of international concern. As such, WHO urges polio-impacted countries to ensure travelers leaving their borders are immunized against the disease. This decision puts additional measures in place to ensure we protect our incredible progress against the disease, and also end the remaining 1 per cent of cases. Rotary, a humanitarian service organization with nearly 34,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas, made polio eradication its top priority in 1985. Rotary has since contributed US $1.3 billion, and its members have logged countless volunteer hours to help immunize more than two billion children in 122 countries. A highly infectious disease, polio still strikes children mainly under the age of five in parts of Africa and South Asia. Polio can cause paralysis and sometimes death. There is no cure for polio, but for as little as .60 cents worth of oral vaccine, a child can be protected from the disease for life. For further information, or to donate, visit www.endpolionow.org. To learn more about the Rotary Club of Rossland or sign up to receive periodic emails, visit www. rosslandrotary.org.

More tickets are now available for the Andrew Cullen Trio show Alicia Wallace Rossland News
There were a few residents who must have thought they were on Santa’s naughty list when they missed out on tickets to the festive jazz performance now to be held at the Miners’ Hall on Dec. 19. The Rossland Council for Arts and Culture (RCAC) is presenting a special evening of entertainment with the Andrew Cullen Trio titled Christmas Plays The Jazz. The event, originally scheduled for the Old Fire Hall, will now be bringing down the house at the Miners’ Hall so that more of Rossland’s good people can attend. The new venue has created an additional 70 tickets. “There are a lot of people who want to come to the
event. We (RCAC) looked at doing it over two nights but decided to use the Miners’ Hall as it accommodated more people,” said Tara Kowalchuk, the RCAC Program Administrator. Cullen is a born and raised Rosslander, making a return to his hometown and bringing with him world-class musicians for an evening of exquisite entertainment. For the past five years Andrew has been busy studying jazz at Vancouver Island University (VIU) and touring across Canada. He is very excited to bring his soulful arranging style and good feelin’ jazz standards to Rossland. “It doesn’t get much better than this!” said Bryan Stovell, Department Chair at VIU of the trio’s last performance.
Vancouver Island musicians Patrick Courtin and James McRae are thrilled to be travelling to Rossland to play this one-off show. Joining them will be local singer extraordinaire Nadine Tremblay. Together the Andrew Cullen Trio will bring Christmas magic to Rossland. For those with tickets, please take note of the change in venue. The doors at the Miners’ Hall will open at 6:30 p.m. with the show starting at 7 p.m. If you don’t want to miss out for a second time, tickets to the previously sold out performance can be purchased in advance at Out of the Cellar on Columbia Avenue in Rossland. Bring your of-age friends and family to enjoy an evening of music and laughter.

News/Community Rossland gets remarkable ready Alicia Wallace Rossland News
Tourism Rossland held an inaugural customer service and networking event focused on getting businesses ‘remarkable ready’ for serving the region’s customers. Holly Frederickson, a WorldHost training advisor from Destination BC, spoke to business owners and staff on timeless customer service best practices. Frederickson reiterated the importance of providing remarkable customer service in a competitive environment, to continue attracting visitors to the region. The interactive presentation was a great opportunity for businesses
to cross-promote by reminding others of their differentiating products and describing what’s new in their business. “It is great to see so many businesses supporting a workshop on cross promotion and collaborative marketing,” said one of the workshops participants. The community needs to remember we are all ambassadors for our town. When visitors stop and ask for directions or a recommendation on somewhere to eat, our hospitality skills are on display. The event was well received by the Rossland business community and organizers expressed the desire to make it an annual event.

Christmas Special
Dear Miss Sensibility, I am a teenage girl and I am really worried about my little brother because he is too fat. I know he gets teased on the playground, but more importantly, I have been reading about juvenile diabetes and other health problems that overweight kids might have. My mom says it's just baby fat and that I'm being too hard. Am I being too hard? What do you think? - Skinny-kid
20% OFF everything in the store! (Pet food excluded)
Dear Skinny-kid, I am pleased to hear that you are concerned for your brother. Without knowing more information about your brother such as his age, height and weight, I can’t tell you whether you are being too hard on him or not. The problem of childhood obesity is on the rise in Canada. it is estimated that over 30% of Canadian children are overweight or obese. You are correct that being overweight increases the risk for health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, joint problems, and respiratory problems. Children who are overweight usually continue to gain weight in adolescence and adulthood. Since you are the sister, and not the parent you are limited in what you can do about the situation. Overweight children often suffer from self esteem issues, so make sure you are not contributing to the problem, never tease or joke about his appearance. Let your brother know you love him for who he is and do not give him a hard time about his weight. Encourage him to be active by inviting him to do physical activities with you, take him on walks or bike rides or play a sport together. You can also set a good example by making healthy eating choices yourself. By being a good sister and friend to your brother, you will be able to help him weather the emotional storms that come his way and help lead him into a healthy life style. Sensibly yours,

En proie du voyage Par David Bérubé On ne vit pas ici. On y passe, ou on oublie d’où l’on vient. C’est le danger que représente ce lac glacé, ces citoyens excentriques, cette morphologie qui donne le vertige. C’est au milieu de l’été que Jules arrive. Il entre dans la ville pour la première fois, en autobus. Il vient de loin. Il est trop fatigué pour remarquer quoi que ce soit dans la ville. Il fait noir, de toute façon. Il entre donc à l’auberge pour effacer les marques que le trajet a laissées sur sa personne. Tout est calme dans sa tête, il s’endort.

Celle qui fait croire qu’il n’existe plus rien d’autre, comme fasciné par ce micro monde. Il se sent maintenant chez lui. Il est venu ici pour ne pas rester, mais ça, Jules l’a oublié. Ou du moins, il a oublié d’y penser.
Ce soir, il s’assoit devant son ordinateur pour la première fois depuis son arrivée. Il recherche une autre auberge pour la semaine suivante. Il est alors traversé par l’idée de parler à ses copains de sa banlieue natale. C’est à ce moment qu’il est en quelque sorte foudroyé par ce qui était en train de se jouer pour lui. Le lien qui l’unit au passé ressurgit. Au Jules se réveille tôt. Il entreprend la traversée du même moment, la sonnerie de Skype bourdonne : centre-ville sans même déjeuner, il pense manger sa mère.
