Whether the record is set or not, a local company's role in a Guinness World Record attempt will still stand tall over time. On May 20, ATCO Wood Products of Fruitvale is joining an international effort to set the world record for the most trees (250,000) planted in one hour simultaneously by teams in multiple locations across North America. Three ATCO employees and 23 from Castlegar-based Greenpeaks Holdings will be at Neptune Creek Drainage, located about nine kilometres north of Rossland, from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m. The planters are all locals who have worked for the softwood veneer producer for “Guinness a number of years, requires that some as long as 25 there are two years, says Mark MacAulay, the comindependent pany's silviculture witnesses who supervisor. are part of some “ATCO and the tree planters are professional very proud of our body that is silviculture practicforestry related.” es,” he said. “And we are able MARK MACAULAY to see the plantations develop into forests each year when we drive past to plant more trees.” Besides the 26 tree planters, two impartial observers, one steward and two ATCO employees will be at the reforestation site, documenting the event. “Guinness requires that there are two independent witnesses who are part of some professional body that is forestry related,” explained MacAulay. “But are not associated with ATCO or each other.” Comparable to a referee, the steward ensures all rules are adhered to and holds the ability to disqualify. “Guinness also requires that the entire attempt is filmed and photographed,” he added. The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), is leading the world record effort as a unique way to engage communities that support its commitment to sustainable management of forest resources.

Fond memories of a renowned Trail highland dance teacher now passed, have her legion of students gathering for a cèilidh to honour Kate E. Shaw's 100th birthday. By all accounts, Mrs Shaw did not just teach dance. She instilled a work ethic through traditional Scottish culture that transcends generations of Highland dancers near and far. “It was an honour to be a student of Mrs. Shaw,” says Sherri Ko, now a Victoriabased educator. “She cared greatly about all of her Highland dancers and we all became an extended part of her family.” Ko danced full time for 13 years, taking part in numerous exhibitions, music festivals, parades and competitions - but the lessons were about more than just footwork. “She was certainly ahead of herself in terms of the field of sports psychology,” said Ko, recalling Mrs. Shaw's favourite poem that was read before each competition. “That provided us inspiration and perspective that it was not about winning,” she explained. “Whether we received a medal or not, we were all victors if we gave our best. Loving the activity we were involved in honing, was most important.” Ko and many former students throughout the West Kootenay and from as far away as Regina, Prince George, and the Lower Mainland will visit Trail this weekend and gather for the Kate E. Shaw Highland

Born in Nelson in 1915 and raised in Trail, a young Kate E. Shaw grew into a beloved dance teacher in the West Kootenay for 75 years. She was named Trail’s Citizen of the Year in 1974 and passed away in 2007. Dance Reunion Saturday night in the Riverbelle. Bagpipes will sound tribute, and small piping and drumming performances will liven the venue while accompanying traditional Scottish country dances. “Mrs. Shaw may be gone but her memory lives on and her talent and lessons we share with the next generation,” said Ko, mentioning her daughter, 20, and 15-year-old son have danced Highland since the age of five. “When helping my children practice I often hear Mrs. Shaw's words and remember her lessons.”

She recalled when her children were younger, Shaw asked Ko's mom if their style, strengths and weaknesses were like hers or another dancer’s. “She sent me directions on how to make them even better dancers,” she chuckled, adding,“true commitment.” The Trail Caledonian Games, renamed the Kate E. Shaw Memorial Competition, kicks off the weekend homage earlier that day, beginning at 9 a.m. in the Cominco gym. Dancers from B.C. and beyond will lace up their ghillies and pins their tartans for two days of competition, See FOND, Page 2

Fond memories of Mrs. Shaw

FROM PAGE 1 the second event being the Castlegar Highland Games slated for Sunday, 10 a.m. in the Stanley Humphries Secondary School gym. Besides inspiring countless dancers over 75 years of instructing in Trail, Castlegar, Nelson, Creston and Grand Forks, Mrs. Shaw also shared her talent in the tradition of kilt making. Mary Elizabeth McAleer’s story with Mrs. Shaw begins in infancy. McAleer was brought to Trail as the “new baby,” when the dance teacher happened to be visiting the family. Later on, Mrs Shaw, who was active in the Presbyterian Church, became her Sunday school teacher for many years. While McAleer was never a student of dance, in 1993 her daughter Analisa began highland lessons after Mrs. Shaw saw the little girl imitating the dancers. Over Shaw’s long career, she made sure anyone who wanted to dance, could. And for those without a cos-

eye care professionals

tume, Shaw would take needle to thread and sew the tartan herself. “This was the real start of highland for me,” explained McAleer. “Analisa danced in a kilt borrowed from her for many years.” In 2002, McAleer decided to make her first kilt, and phoned Mrs Shaw to ask for lessons. “Her response was, ‘of course I can show you, you can hold the needle,” she said. For about six months, McAleer spent Sunday afternoons learning to sew kilts alongside Mrs Shaw. “I have fond memories of chatting and working with her,” she said. “I learned that she could make a great kilt and had infinite patience, and I also learned she didn’t need a clock to tell time.” The women would work the afternoon until suddenly Mrs. Shaw would stop and say it was tea time. “We would go in the kitchen where she would always have some kind of cookie

or sweet and a pot of tea ready,” said McAleer. “And I would look at the clock and discover it was (always) 4:00.” Since that time, she has taken kiltmaking one step further by developing the skill into a full time career. “Now, because of Mrs. Shaw and a few other people in the Highland dance world, I have a wonderful homebased business and I was able to quit my office job a few years ago,” said McAleer, who now lives in Bonnington. She attends 18 to 20 competitions year round throughout BC and Alberta, and has outfitted dancers from across North America, Australia and New Zealand. “I have now made more kilts than I can remember,” said McAleer. “And I still think of her every time I sit down to make another.” Information and tickets are available for the reunion event by contacting Michelle McPeek at 778.868.3508 or by email, mcpeek@telus.net.

Sustainability key to local company FROM PAGE 1 Recognizing that everyday decisions directly affect the health and future of forests, ATCO has been SFI certified since 2006. MacAulay said SFI environmental certification requires participants to engage in research activities that improve forest health and productivity, in addition to sustainable forest management practices. “This effort definitely fits in with the commitment,” he noted. “As well as adding a little fun to the reforestation effort.” The area being replanted, described as Cutting Permit 227 Block 1, is heavily used by hunters, firewood cutters, berry pickers, hikers and mountain bike riders. If their goal is achieved, ATCO plans to post a sign so the public is aware that the trees planted on the cut block were part of the Guinness World Record. ATCO typically plants about 1.1 million trees each year, which equates to about four trees planted for every one harvested. Sustainability is key for the local family-owned business that has logged the area for more than 60 years.

“The timber that is harvested supports many hundreds of direct and indirect jobs in our communities,” says Mark Semeniuk, ATCO Wood Product’s chief operating officer. “And ultimately becomes a myriad of products that can be found in our homes and in lumber stores around the world.” The company was recently certified for another five years under the voluntary SFI program, which uses guiding principles of sustainable forestry to enhance the link between healthy forests, responsible purchasing and sustainable communities. Every five years SFI standards are revised to update forest research data and to address emerging issues such as conservation of specific species, water protection and the minimization of chemical use. Biodiversity and sustainability has long been part of ATCO’s practices, noted Semeniuk. “Forestry activities that local mills conduct, including ATCO, are important pieces of the social and economic health of our region,” he said. “As such ATCO has a vested interest in long term health and sustainability.”

After much deliberation, council decided to grant the club $5,000 and help them work on a case to deliver to the Trail council so this is a non-issue in the future.

Body recovered near Nelson The Nelson Star Police have not confirmed whether the body of a 21-year-old man found in Beasley is that of missing Australian man John Nichols. A search and rescue team recovered the body last night in a wooded area. The incident is not believed to be suspicious. Nichols was last seen on the morning of May 8. Friends believe Nichols must have left on foot because his bike and personal belongings were all left behind in his vehicle. He did not say anything about leaving or going anywhere, so his direction of travel was unknown. Mike Hudson of South Columbia Search and Rescue said that an extensive search by 23 people over the last couple of days included working in treacherous river conditions and steep canyons in the area. He said the body was found in a wooded area some distance from the river. Further details are not being released pending notification of family members. An investigation is underway by the British Columbia Coroners Service.

FortisBC is going ahead with plans to build a Kootenay Operations Centre in Ootischenia. The company will be submitting an application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity (CPCN) to the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC). If the application is approved construction is scheduled to begin next spring. The new Kootenay Operation Centre will have 23,000 sq. ft. of office space, 7000 sq. ft. of warehouse space and be located at 120 Ootischenia Road on land the company purchased from the city of Castlegar in 2014. It will house operations for the Electricity branch of of FortisBC. FortisBC spokesman David Wylie explained the choice of location: “That location really is central for us. It will help us to better serve our customers in the region and to continue to meet the operational

requirements for the region.” Wylie continued, “This is a long term solution for FortisBC for replacing aging facilities and ones that are reaching the end of their useful life in the Kootenays.” One of those facilities is the South Slocan Operations Centre,“It is over a hundred years old. It has reached the end of its life as a comfortable and safe workplace for our employees, which is why we are looking at building something that is more energy efficient and would better serve our needs in the area.” Upon completion of the new project, the South Slocan Operations Centre will close and the employees will be relocated to the new location. However, the current Castlegar Operations Centre will not be affected. The new facility will have about 75 employees, consisting primarily of generation and operation staff, those that support and maintain the dams, power houses and sub-

stations. There will also be a fleet of trucks stationed at the site and warehouse operations. According to Wylie, FortisBC has completed a traffic impact study to ensure there is no negative impact the flow of traffic in the area. The BCUC application process is a public process and residents can register to participate in the process and provide feedback to the commission once the application has been submitted. “We have been working with residents who are surrounding the site, we have sent them letters to let them know what is going on there and trying to keep them informed as to what is happening. Certainly they can choose to be a part of the application process as well if they have questions or feedback.” stated Wylie. More information on the project can be found at FortisBC.com\kootenayops and you can also submit feedback on the project.

one, has long been a bottleneck. The still-to-be built bridge - expected to cost well in excess of $1 billion - is on track to be up and running in 2020, Harper said. Snyder said the Howe name was an inspiration and a legend in both Canada and Michigan, and therefore a good choice for the span. Murray Howe called it fitting the bridge connects Windsor to Detroit because his German grandmother landed in the Ontario city a century ago, making it her home before heading to Saskatchewan. And Howe has called Detroit his home since beginning his career with the Red Wings in 1946, his son said. “Our mother and father’s goal was always to be a bridge between people, and especially a bridge between the people of the United States and Canada,” Murray Howe said. “This bridge will stand as a beautiful symbol of their efforts.” In 2005, the city of Saskatoon, where Howe moved as an infant, and the province of Saskatchewan honoured him by naming the street in front of the city’s largest arena “Mr. Hockey Gordie Howe Lane.” “I’ve been running over people for a long time, now people get a chance to run over me,” Howe quipped at the time. Howe was a sixtime winner of the Hart Trophy for most valuable player and also took home the Art Ross Trophy as playoff MVP six times.

Provincial/national Supreme Court says it won’t hear appeal in deadly B.C. ferry sinking

Tom Fletcher/Black Press

B.C. Nurses’ Union president Gayle Duteil speaks to rally at B.C. legislature Thursday. Their contract expired more than a year ago.

Nurses push for new hires at rally By Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Members of the B.C. Nurses’ Union brought a sea of pink umbrellas to the B.C. legislature Thursday to call on the B.C. government to honour a provision that requires health authorities to replace absent nurses. BCNU president Gayle Duteil said 2012 contract provision replacing absent nurses can’t be implemented without more registered nurses hired to provide the relief. “It’s a sad fact that we don’t have enough nurses to deliver safe care for meeting the staffing mandated by our collective agreement,” Duteil said. “ We don’t have enough nurses to backfill vacancies, to backfill absences, and we don’t have enough nurses to meet the daily spikes in acuity.” The recent settlement of 1,600 union grievances for staffing includes $5 million for specialty nurse training, $1 million to support increased RN staffing and $2 million in “grievance settlement funds” paid to nurses affected

by staffing shortages. The staffing fund is available to licensed practical nurses who want to upgrade their training. Health Minister Terry Lake said the interim agreement is a step towards renewing the latest BCNU contract, which expired in March 2014. “We worked through a mediator in the last month or so and came to an agreement, so I think we’re in a good place to work towards our new contract,” Lake said. “We recognize there are some areas like specialist nursing where we do have challenges, and we have committed some of our funding to recruit and train more specialist nurses, and more community nurses as well.” Nurses cheered as Duteil reminded them that their “grievalanche” had an effect. She said the union documented 10,000 shifts that were not filled during a six-week period at health facilities around the province, and represent only the “tip of the iceberg.” NDP leader John Horgan addressed the rally, promising that his 2017 election platform will put nurses “front and centre in the health care model.”

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The Supreme Court of Canada has abruptly ended the legal campaign of a man who was at the helm of a British Columbia ferry that slammed into an island and sank. The high court announced Thursday that it would not hear the appeal of Karl Lilgert’s convictions on two counts of criminal negligence causing death. Lilgert was convicted by a jury in 2013 and sentenced to four years for the deaths of Gerald Foisy and Shirley Rosette, who disappeared when the ship went down in March 2006. While he had been free while appealing the case, Lilgert turned himself in last December before the Supreme Court ruled on his case. As usual, the judges gave no reasons for not hearing the appeal. At his B.C. Supreme Court trial, the jury believed the Crown’s explanation that Lilgert missed a scheduled turn and rammed the ferry into a remote island because he was distracted by his exlover, who was on the bridge with him for

the first time since they’d ended their relationship. The Queen of the North was on a routine overnight trip down the Inside Passage with 101 passengers aboard when it hit Gil Island and sank. Lilgert told the trial that he delayed turning and then made course changes in response to the circumstances at the time, including weather and the presence of another boat. He said he was shocked to encounter the island. Both Lilgert and his former lover, quartermaster Karen Briker, denied their affair had anything to do with the sinking. Alfred Jack, Rosette’s brother-inlaw, said he’s pleased to see that Lilgert will finally be serving his sentence nine years after the sinking, though he never thought the sentence

was adequate. “But it’s still the same, for two lives, that’s four years, two years per life,” he said on the phone from his home in Riske Creek, about 300 kilometres northeast of Vancouver. He said Rosette’s two boys, who were 12 and 16 when their mother died, were devastated by the loss, especially because their father had passed away the year before. “They’ve both been struggling quite a bit. We’ve helped them out as much as we could.” The families of Rosette and Foisy settled their lawsuits against BC Ferries in 2009. A lawyer for Foisy’s daughters said they accepted $200,000 because legal costs were making it impossible to go to trial. The settlement by Rosette’s family wasn’t made public.

Penticton minor hockey lawsuit skates on By Dale Broyd

Penticton Western News

The lawsuit between the Penticton Minor Hockey Association and its former treasurer may finally be moving ahead after a drawn out process to serve one of the defendants. “It’s your obligation to find me” was the response from Samantha Elder to the process server according to court documents obtained by the Western News. Elder is one of nine defendants along with her brother Mathew, father Mark and five John Does in the lawsuit between the PMHA and the estate of its former treasurer, Sandra Elder, who died of cancer in July 2013. The lawsuit filed May 21, 2014 alleges that Sandra Elder altered cheques and faked invoices to

embezzle more than $300,000 from the hockey organization. She served as treasurer from 2001 until her death in July, 2013. A court order was made for the alternative service of Samantha on April 22 after extensive

efforts were made to find her, according to the documents, including the use of a third-party tracing company which was unable to locate her, aside from the one phone call where she identified herself and put the onus on the plaintiffs to find her.

documents,” according to rule 4-4 of the Supreme Court Civil Rules. Elder’s response to the civil claim is due May 22.

Despite hurdles, SD 20 continues working for students

rustees have continued to support the improvement of student learning for all learners in our district. Several years ago, it was noted that student performance in our school district was slipping. This was evident in Ministry of Education student performance data. The administration team of the district presented a plan to teachers, support staff and trustees that was designed to correct this situation. All groups endorsed the plan. The plan focused on investing in teachers and support staff as learners. The educational landscape had changed, and the district hadn’t kept up. This needed to be corrected. The investment in teacher and support staff learning was intended to improve student outcomes by: - providing meaningful professional development opportunities to support

staff and teachers - hiring a full time teacher as a learning coordinator, whose job it would be to support such things as the implementation of the new math curriculum - offering seats in focused research groups so teachers could learn from each other - bringing in outside educational experts to share their knowledge and current research into the district - signing on to provincial initiatives aimed at improving instructional practices and student learning outcomes The board of the day accepted this plan, and it has been supported since then. Due to chronic underfunding of education, recent Boards have chosen to make cuts as far from the classroom as possible. This has meant that our schools have suffered from a lack of maintenance. It also means that this stu-

Community Comment dent achievement-focused program is contained in next year’s budget. With this commitment to engage teachers and support staff in learning, student achievement in SD20 has been improving. This is a credit to all who have worked so hard to better serve the students of SD20. The government of B.C. has mandated a dramatic new approach to education (BC Ed Plan), which is based on sound research and positive results in other countries and B.C. teacher education will be

key to implementing the Ed. Plan successfully. Now SD 20 has a solid culture of teacher learning which has been nourished over the last several years. We are ready to move forward as a district, we just need the appropriate funding to do what is best for students of SD20. Teachers’ learning opportunities are provided both on their own time after school, and during school hours. We have challenges ahead of us: - Insufficient government funding to operate our district - Continued declining enrolment - Funding the BC Ed Plan - Maintaining the district work sites to an acceptable standard The Board is committed to providing the best education for students of SD20. In the next three years, the Board will deal with

all challenges it faces and we will do what we can to improve education funding for public schools. All education team members will be challenged in the next few years with the changes that are coming. If we keep the focus of our actions on student achievement we will find many common goals. Difficult challenges face us, but as a team, SD20 employees can achieve wonders for students.

Letters & Opinion Letters to the editor

Does Trail need more grocery options? Recently hearing the news of the local Trail Wal-Mart expanding its store, made me wonder and ask, ‘Do we really need another grocery store in Trail?’ My thought, was no, I don’t think so. We already have three, which I believe to be fine for this community size. What more could they offer than the current grocers have now? Are they specializing in fresh produce and fruits that you can’t buy anywhere else? I don’t think so, no matter where you shop, it all comes from Mexico or the most part, California and South America. How much of their produce is going to be sold as GMO? You know Wal-Mart has signed a deal with Monsanto to supply GMO foods in their stores? They

probably won’t display which foods are, so you’ll just have to guess when you are squeezing that piece of fruit. Wal-Mart wants you to do your one stop shopping there, of course. Why shop at any other brick and mortar when we have it all, we offer every day low prices. You have to be shopper savvy to know exactly what you are buying when it comes to product, package size and price. Almost every product in that store is packaged for the WalMart market so they make you believe you are getting that low price bargain. What we need in this city is another major department, variety store, not a grocer. Someplace to buy general

goods, apparel and dry goods. The people of the community need to encourage growth in the city’s downtown area. What is the city doing to encourage growth of downtown? How many retailers have looked into setting up space? Are other big box stores scared of Wal-Mart that they won’t even look to operate here? What’s the story? By continuing to spend your dollars at Wal-Mart, you only encourage them to continue with their deception and destruction of inner city commercialism. I just don’t think this is the best idea for this community as far as retail. Rich Steer Trail

Actions rightly bring consequences

An editorial from the Prince Albert Daily Herald Sometimes karma strikes quickly, and this week it has, and it is a beautiful thing. A blatant group of misogynists verbally assaulted a female reporter in Toronto on Sunday after a Toronto FC soccer match. Using the brainpower of houseplants, these winners decided to carry on a trend that has inexplicably been spreading around the globe amongst the frat house crowd. The trend involves running up on a female television reporter and yelling a disgusting and offensive statement. Most readers have probably seen YouTube clips of it, or at least heard of it, but for Toronto City TV reporter Shauna Hunt, enough was enough. She stopped her interview and went right after these idiots and the camera kept rolling to get their juvenile, crass and disgusting justifications on tape. Hunt’s moxie and courage is to celebrated. So is the swift action of Ontario’s Hydro One. Within two days of Sunday’s incident came word that one of the offenders, Shawn Simoes is being fired for violating the company’s code of conduct, costing him a six-figure salary. It doesn’t stop there either. Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment is reviewing the footage and is planning to ban the culprits from any further MLSE facilities, which includes the field where Toronto FC

plays, as well as Air Canada Centre, home to the Toronto Maple Leafs and Raptors games. Hunt’s assertive response is now spreading like wildfire on the Internet, with commentary coming from around the world. For most reasonable people, the consensus is pretty succinct – you don’t talk to a woman that way. You don’t talk to a person that way. Some observers are suggesting that such behavior could fall under the realm of criminal harassment, if a female reporter were to come forward and file a complaint. And don’t think this is a Toronto issue. It is happening across the continent and around the world. It is also happening here in Saskatchewan. As a society we often seem to pat ourselves on the back for how far we have come in addressing and reducing sexual harassment. And rightfully so, there has definitely been progress made. But, there is clearly still work to be done. It is unclear how males would think this behavior and this language would be ok. Simoes suggested that if his mom heard him, she would be laughing. That’s a sad statement in itself. Hopefully a woman would not find what Hunt was being subjected to funny on any level. There is some debate. Some people are asking if Hydro One went too far in firing this shining example of gentlemanly behavior. They didn’t. And other companies who are

handed evidence of their staff doing similar garbage should do the same thing. Simoes and another man allegedly involved in the incident had shut down all of their social media outlets by Tuesday. MLSE said they will be posting extra security near female reporters at their venues. Although it is a solid gesture from the company, the statement in itself offers a strong hint that we as a society still have a long ways to go when it comes to gender equality and stamping out sexual harassment. If we are still at a place where a female reporter, or a female in general, needs extra security to keep her safe, then we are failing. Recent high profile cases such as Jian Ghomeshi and the report on sexual harassment in the military confirm that. This man was a highly educated, well-paid engineer. If someone like that can be so blatantly misogynistic and degrading towards women, how many other educated and seemingly intelligent men share the same attitudes? It’s become socially unacceptable to quote the Bible much these days, but there is a command in the Bible that all of us would do well to hold on to: Be kind to each other. That would take care a lot of this kind of garbage. Since many of us seem incapable, we’ll have to let the video evidence take care of it.

REVELSTOKE

City limits residents to one garbage can BY ALEX COOPER

Revelstoke Times Review

Garbage pickup rules are being changed so that residents can only put one bin for, with extras requiring tags. The move comes as the City of Revelstoke sends out a request for proposals in order to contract out garbage collection, and as the Columbia Shuswap Regional District prepares to implement curbside food waste collection. “Allowing one container would be sufficient for most households,” said councillor Gary Sulz, the chair of the city’s public works committee, during Tuesday’s council meeting. Currently, residents are allowed to put out two 77-litre garbage cans every week, and

are required to purchase tags for any extras. A staff report, which can be read below, says the city sold 816 commercial tags last year and 277 residential. The new rule means tags will have to be purchased for the second can or bag. Penny PageBrittin, the city’s environment coordinator, said that while it was difficult to track, the majority of households only put out one bin. According to a report by Page-Brittin, the amount of garbage collected by the city has been reduced by 184 tonnes since curbside recycling was implemented in 2010. “A reduction in the amount of garbage permitted on the curb may encourage people to think about

what they put in the garbage and encourage more recycling and/or backyard composting,” she wrote. “I think this is the way to go,” said Mayor Mark McKee. “One can is the way of the future.” Council also voted to issue the RFP to contract out garbage collection. The RFP allows for flexibility on the part of the bidder. Proponents can opt to follow the current collection system, with one garbage can per household. The second option is for automated collection, where garbage would be collected from containers of a pre-determined size. The successful proponent would be required to provide the containers.

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking? Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Hearing sensation! Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

With Audéo V

The New Audeo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech.

New hearing chip developed Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing aid chip that is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to

is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

Snow packs remain below normal By Carolyn Grant Kimberley Bulletin

The BC River Forecast Centre has released the latest snow pillow data and record lows have been recorded in many areas of the province, including the East Kootenay. As of May 1, the East Kootenay snow basin index for high elevation (1100 to 2000 m) was 46 per cent of normal. The West Kootenay is at 57 per cent, and Boundary 58 per cent. Extremely low indices have been recorded at Skagit, 14 per cent; Vancouver Island, 14 per cent; and the Lower Fraser, 24 per cent. Field observations around the province indicate that snow packs at valley bottom to mid-elevation (e.g. 800 to 1100m) have mostly melted and recent accumulations at these elevations in the north have also melted. However, according to the Southeast Fire Centre, it’s not really the snow pack that drives what a potential fire season may be like, but the amount of spring rain that falls. “If we get a rainy June, it has a big effect,” said Jordan Turner, Information Officer for the Southeast Fire Centre. “If hot, dry conditions persist, there is a chance of a busy fire season. But there are a few factors that go into that.” The River Forecast Centre is predicting very low flows in streams this summer.

U-19 film festival a success By Chris Stedile Rossland News

The Rossland Council for Arts and Culture (RCAC) proudly presented the eighth annual West Kootenay U19 Film Festival to an enthusiastic crowd that packed the Miners Hall. Short films were submitted from youth located all through the West Kootenays, from Rossland to New Denver to Nelson.

The five categories for submissions were: action/adventure, drama, non-fiction/ documentary, comedy and sports. All categories had three films excluding non-fiction/ documentary which received only two. After all the films had been presented, the five judges — Shane Hainsworth, Arlo Stevens, Justine Kelsie, Larry Doell and Joost Winckers

— took time to tally their scores and decide a winner. In the meantime several films not entered in the competition, were shown. “The Old Firehall” was a crowd favourite, showcasing the historic building itself and how enchanting and cozy one night of show, drink and dance can be. “Luck,” created during the action film

workshop put on by RCAC and the Youth Action Network (YAN) followed the adventure of a young girl with her eyes glued to her cellphone. Chaos and pandemonium ensue in the streets of Rossland but she’s too busy texting to notice. Good thing luck was on her side. Finally, the film “LGBTQ” was shown to the audience. Created by Brogan Pastro, Connor Dunham and many residents of Rossland, the film was put together to show support for people with diverse sexual orientations in the Rossland community. Rossland’s youth put on quite the show and once the scores were tallied, it was announced that Rosslanders took first place in every category. The winner of the action category was Caelum Scott with his video “Tug Tug Tug,” based on the horror story of the same name. James Klemmensen was awarded first place in both documentary and drama for “Commune[ity]” and “Frayed,” respectively. “Everything that Happened in 2014” by Liam Barnes won grand prize in the Sports category. The description reads, “From the creators of every local free-running video ever made comes a wonderful burrito of excitement and drama. Last but certainly not least, Scott made his second appearance on stage to receive two more awards for his film, “The Package.” First place in the Comedy category and People’s Choice.

Kelowna Rockets capture Ed Chynoweth Cup By Times Staff It seems almost impossible for a WHL team to win a title without having a Greater Trail tie in. Last year it was Luke Bertolucci of Montrose and the Edmonton Oil Kings, the year prior it was the Portland Winter Hawks’ and former Trail Smoke Eater Joey Baker, and Bertolucci again in 2012. This year, Nick Merkley and the Kelowna Rockets won the WHL title in a four-game sweep of the Brandon Wheat Kings with a 3-0 shut out win on Wednesday. Although a Calgary native, Merkley’s parents grew up in Rossland and his grandparents Ivan and Bev Bell and Dorothy Merkley still live in Greater Trail. The 17-year-old phenom has been nothing short of magnificent in leading the WHL in playoff assists, 22, and is second in points with 27. He was named WHL player of the week on Monday after netting three points in Games 1 and 2 of the series. Merkley also scored the winner in Game 2 and added the insurance marker on Wednesday in the 3-0 championship victory that saw the largest hockey crowd since winning the Memorial Cup in 2004 pack Prospera Place. In front of a capacity audience of 6,428, the Rockets defeated the Wheat Kings to claim their fourth Ed Chynoweth Cup title since 2003. “To jump off the bench and throw your helmet and gloves off is a great feeling,” Rockets captain Madison Bowey told Kelowna Capital News reporter Warren Henderson. “You don’t get it too often, to achieve it with a great group of guys like this is special and it’s something we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.” The teams were scoreless through two periods Wednesday, before the Rockets big guns stepped up early in the third with a

Draisaitl, who played the first half of the season with the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers, has no regrets with his move to Kelowna. “It’s unbelievable, as a hockey player you want win championships and I think once you’re there, it’s an amazing feeling,” Draisaitl said. “I’m extremely proud of every single guy on our team, we’ve worked so hard all year. I’m very proud.” The Rockets’ fourth WHL championship win came under the guidance of a relatively young coaching staff, with first-year head man Dan Lambert at the helm and rookies Kris Mallette and Travis Crickard serving as assistants. The last Rockets team to win the WHL title was the 2009 team coached by Trail’s Ryan Huska, with Kyle St. Denis of Trail and Castlegar’s Lucas and Evan Bloodoff in the line up. For Lambert’s part, the first-year bench boss was thrilled his team could close out the WHL championship in front of the hometown faithful. “Awesome, excited to do it in front of our home fans, I think that maybe that was the best thing,” said Lambert, who credited his team for rising to the occasion throughout the playoffs. “Our team has come a long way from February when we hit a few bumps along the road,” Lambert said. “We weren’t sure if this was all going to come together, it took a little time but the key thing is that the players in the room believed, and that was the difference.” The Rockets will be making their fifth appearance at the Memorial Cup, the first since 2009 when Huska’s team lost in the final. Kelowna’s first game will be May 22 against the host Quebec Remparts in Quebec City. With files from the Kelowna Capital News.

2015 Trail Smoke Eaters: a scholastic success story

verybody, “knows,” the Smoke Eaters had a bad year. There were some onice upsides - the team was entertaining as well as frustrating and was led by local kids for the most part - including how much eventually disappointing fun was had by Smokie fans. Off the ice and outside of still-perilous finances, 2014/15 was a rousing success on at least one front

- the very important educational aspect to kids choosing junior A hockey over the pro junior leagues. About half of last season’s roster will heading off to college to play and learn. If you buy into, and I do, the concept that giving young men access to educational opportunity is a big reason for junior A hockey to exist, then the 2014/15 Smokies recently completed one of the most successful seasons in

Survey: Americans becoming less Christian, more secular

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - The number of Americans who don’t affiliate with a particular religion has grown to 56 million in recent years, making the faith group researchers call “nones” the secondlargest in total numbers behind evangelicals, according to a Pew Research Center study. Christianity is still the dominant faith by far in the U.S.; 7 in 10 Americans identify with the tradition. However, the ranks of Christians have declined as the segment of people with no religion has grown, the survey says. Between 2007 and 2014, when Pew conducted two major surveys of U.S. religious life, Americans who described themselves as atheist, agnostic or of no particular faith grew from 16 per cent to nearly 23 per cent. At the same time, Christians dropped from about 78 per cent to just under 71 per cent of the population. Protestants now comprise 46.5 per cent of what was once a predominantly Protestant country. Researchers have long debated whether people with no religion should be defined as secular since the category includes those who believe in God or consider themselves “spiritual.” But the new Pew study found increasing signs of secularism. Last year, 31 per cent of “nones” said they were atheist or agnostic, compared to 25 per cent in 2007, and the percentage who said religion was important to them dropped. Greg Smith, Pew’s associate research director, said the findings “point to substantive changes” among the religiously unaffiliated, not just a shift in how people describe themselves. Secular groups have become increasingly organized to counter bias against them and keep religion out of public life through lawsuits and lobbying lawmakers. The growth of “nones” has political significance as well. People with no religion tend to vote Democratic, just as white evangelicals tend to vote Republican. The Pew study found a slight drop - about 1 per cent - in the evangelical share of the population, which now comprises a quarter of Americans. But the overall number of evangelicals rose to about 62 million people. Pew researchers said Christian losses were driven by decreases among mainline, or liberal, Protestants and Roman Catholics. Mainline Protestants declined by about 5 million to 36 million between 2007 and 2014. Pew found 13 per cent of U.S. adults are former Catholics. The study put the number of Catholic adults at 51 million, or just over one-fifth of the U.S. population, a drop of about 3 per cent over seven years. In 2007, Catholics made up about one-quarter of Americans. However, Pew researchers acknowledge those conclusions differ from those of some other major studies that found only slight declines or even a slight uptick in the numbers of Catholics in the last couple of years. Georgetown University’s Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate, which tracks American Catholicism, puts the U.S. adult Catholic population at 61 million. Regarding other religions, Pew found an increase in membership of non-Christian faiths, driven mainly by growing numbers of Muslims and Hindus. Despite the increase, their numbers remain small. Muslims and Hindus each comprise less than 1 per cent of the U.S. population. The number of Jews rose slightly over the period, from 1.7 per cent to 1.9 per cent of Americans.

Forgiveness and justification is then given to us through Christ’s merits on the cross, when we invoke through our faith in him. We preach that God put our sins on Christ and condemned and his death with faith. punished them in the flesh of his body on the cross (Rom. 8:3; 1 Pet. 2:24; Isa. 53:6, 5) in order to fulfill the just requirement of the law on our behalf, namely the law that our sins must be punished (Rom. 8:4; 6:23). The law was fulfilled for us in Christ’s flesh on the cross, and we are set free and acquitted through our faith in him, which activates this personally for us. By putting our sins on him and punishing them in him on the cross, God made him to be sin who knew no sin to justify us, for he suffered and died for our sins (1 Cor. 15:3), thus making just reparation for them (2 Cor. 5:21) to redeem us from them when we put our faith in him. In this way Christ is not only our example whom we imitate, not only

This is the gospel that we preach, not only the gospel of Christ the example to imitate, but primarily the gospel of Christ the Redeemer. Christ is far more than merely an example to imitate. He is the Christ who justifies me by his death, through my faith in him. Thus through our faith in him, because of his death on the cross, we become conquerors over sin, guilt, and death. It is this message of salvation that the Holy Spirit inspires us to preach to the world. But nowadays many who accept Christ the example reject Christ the Redeemer. They only want a Christ to imitate, not one who redeems them. Therefore many reject, ignore, set aside, and persecute those who preach the true gospel of justification, forgiveness, and salvation, because of the death of Christ on the cross, through our faith in him.

Don’t throw away 30-year friendship over politics Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

kind of friends who told each other everything, and I thought we had each other’s back. Her friendship meant everything to me. But am I supposed to lie and say I think the same way she does just to keep the peace? She claims to be religious, but how can she not forgive something like this? I really miss my friend. -- Need Some Advice Dear Need: These days, politics can make enemies out of anyone. Your best bet is to steer clear of the discussion altogether, because you know it only creates an argument. If Clara brings it up, simply say, “I don’t want to talk about politics. How is your daughter doing?” You shouldn’t need to apologize every time. But is there a possibility

may have been reinforced since childhood. It doesn’t mean you aren’t sad, and you don’t need to apologize. How you display emotion at funerals is nobody’s business. If faking it would make your life easier, pull out a handkerchief and pretend to wipe your eyes now and then.

that, rather than avoiding you, Clara is unwell? Could you check with someone to see whether she is OK? A mutual friend or relative can fill you in on her status and also act as an intermediary to put this latest argument behind you. And keep it there. We hope she’s fine and you can reconcile. A 30-year friendship shouldn’t be thrown away over politics. Dear Annie: I am 91 years old and would like the ability to cry at a death or a funeral or anything sad. What is wrong with me? I feel that I should cry at these times and am hurt when others remark on it. -- Paducah, Ky. Dear Paducah: Everyone responds differently to various emotional events. An inability to cry at all is often a sign of depression, brain injury or illness and should be checked by a physician. But if your problem is that you simply cannot cry at sad events where others are present, it’s more likely you have an inhibition against showing extreme emotion in front of others, something that

Dear Annie: My best friend, “Clara,” and I have known each other for 30 years. We’re both retired and live in the same town. Neither of us has a husband. We talk on the phone every day. We get along fine, except we have never been able to talk politics. If I don’t agree with her completely, Clara gets angry. I’m not allowed to have my own opinion. It’s her way or the highway. Every time she gets mad at me, I’m always the one to pick up the phone and talk to her as though we’ve never argued. Last month, we got into a heated discussion about our world problems, and we both hung up angry. I called Clara that evening, but no one answered, and she didn’t call me back like she always does. This went on for two weeks, so I wrote her a letter explaining how sorry I am, but that I am entitled to my own opinion, the same as anyone else. I also said our friendship is too important to let a silly argument end it. I haven’t heard back. Clara and I were the

Wisteria sanctuary Sheri Regnier

Alba and Mario Vellutini's back deck in Miral Heights is pretty as a picture with Wisteria blossoms providing living shade and sweet-scented shelter from the elements. The flowering plant is from the pea family genus, Fabaceae, that includes 10 species of woody climbing vines native to China, Korea, Japan and the Eastern United States. Wisteria is very hardy, fast-growing and thrives in full sun.
