city would be able to eliminate the Trail Resident Program “which has become so divisive to our region.” Martin said Trail would continue to work with communities in Beaver Valley, Area B and Rossland to forge “acceptable agreements.”

Area B residents like Area A’s plan BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

While the City of Trail announced a recreation deal with Warfield Thursday, it could be facing another stakeholder opting out of its agreement. The deal between Area B and the City of Trail is set to expire at the end of this year, and Regional District of the Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Director Linda Worley heard input from taxpayers at a meeting on Wednesday at the Genelle Community Hall. The majority of the residents in attendance voiced support for a reimbursement system like the one currently running in Area A. It was revealed in the meeting that Area B/Lower Columbia-Old See DEADLINE, Page 3

life-saving actions in 2013 fire By Liz Bevan Times Staff

A heroism award was the last thing on Brian Stefani’s mind when he rushed into a burning building in 2013 or even last Friday when the Webster School principal was busy with his daily duties. Yet somehow organizers managed to gather students, staff and Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue Chief Terry Martin into the school’s gymnasium for a surprise presentation. Stefani was hon-

oured with a Certificate of Commendation for his quick thinking and bravery when rescuing an elderly man during a November 2013 house fire. The ceremony caught the humbled Stefani off guard. “I had no idea, not until I got to the front of the gymnasium and (Martin) started to come up to the front too,” he said. “They caught me totally by surprise.” Recalling the 2013 fire, Stefani admitted there was no hesitation when he made the decision to go into

Rossland effort helps set Guinness World Record

Submitted photo

ATCO Wood Products of Fruitvale is part of a new Guinness World Record set for the most trees simultaneously planted in one hour by teams in multiple locations across North America. Three ATCO employees and 23 Greenpeaks Holdings workers gathered at Neptune Creek Drainage, a site just north of Rossland, Wednesday morning. From 10 a.m. until 11 a.m. the group planted 7,785 trees, which was more than the company expected, says Mark MacAulay, ATCO's silviculture supervisor. By 4 p.m. MacAulay confirmed the record was broken, with the final tally being more than 200,000 trees planted in 28 communities from Vancouver Island to New York City. Across four time zones, more than 1,100 participants of all ages and backgrounds planted in teams of 25 to 100 people. The event was organized by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, which is a North American voluntary program and independent non-profit organization that promotes sustainable forestry management. Official confirmation from Guinness World Records is expected within six to eight weeks.

Deadline at end of year

FROM PAGE 1 Glory has paid approximately $702,000 over the last five years, with only 164 residents actually using their Trail Resident Program (TRP) cards at Trail facilities – only 12 per cent of the area’s population. Director of facilities with the RDKB Mark Daines was at the meeting to share the success of the Area A/Beaver Valley reimbursement program. “Out of the $200,000, or so, the Beaver Valley was paying to Trail, this year, we reimbursed the citizens only $53,000,” he said. “Now Area A has around $150,000 to use in capital improvement projects. We were able to set up a simple program and the system is working.” One attendee, who wished to remain anonymous, didn’t agree with the reimbursement program, voicing his support for another fiveyear deal with Trail. The rest of the room disagreed and felt that a reimbursement program was the way to go, focussing on local facilities and keeping recreation tax money in the community. “I agree with the reimbursement program,” said an Area B resident. “It will work. To opt out completely (like Rossland) would be a terrible mistake.

“It is important to support all of our facilities. On a reimbursement basis, not every tax payer would be on the hook for the small percentage of individuals who use (the Trail facilities).” Margo Saunders, director of the Genelle Recreation Commission, was at the meeting. She sees the reimbursement program as a way for Area B residents to see how the situation could work in the future. “If we opt out of a new recreation deal, then Trail will probably come to us in a year (like in Area A) and maybe we can change things,” she said. “Otherwise, we are stuck with the five-year deal. If we go with the reimbursement option, then we can revisit it every year.” Without a five-year deal, Worley says that the money that would normally go to Trail would go to maintaining other recreation facilities that many residents outside of Area B use. “We have the Blackjack ski trails and the disc golf course up there,” she told the group. “The Nancy Greene Park area and trails. All that area up there, is part of Area B taxation dollars. We pay to maintain those. What I am hearing is pretty well a general consensus that we go for user fees then reimbursement.”

Accessibility Day in Trail on June 6

Inclusive community is a healthy community By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

An inclusive community is a healthy community. Everyone is embraced, recognized for their value and included as a voice in making decisions that affect everyday life. Recognizing the city must be accessible and inclusive for all, Trail council recently proclaimed June 6, Access Awareness Day. This year's theme is “Accessibility is Working,” with a focus on working as a team to ensure the city is as accessible and as inclusive as possible. The day is part of the Social Planning and Research Council of B.C.'s mandate to request local governments to support the rights of all individuals to be active in their communities as well as having the opportunity to participate in all aspects of community life. At the Community Inclusion Centre, on Bay Avenue in downtown Trail, the front door is open daily and provides a safe place for gatherings to break bread with

friends, watch a movie, shoot a game of pool or pick up a paintbrush and craft. The project began a year ago, and after a makeover and recent paint job by Take a Hike students, the facility has grown into a hub of activity behind the storefront's retail space called Made by Hand. “We are coming close to the renovations and we are running strong with groups in there everyday,” said Sheila Adcock from Career Development Services (CDS), the organization behind the inclusion project. “What we are looking for is volunteer staff to help keep us open,” she explained. “We are looking for help in the wood shop in East Trail, Made by Hand, as well as inviting the community to come in and work with our folks. “We are breaking down stereotypes and getting people to know one another on a first name basis.” She's hoping retirees and others with a little extra time will sign up to help teach new skills for the retail section, like

sewing, or fire up some wood saws to construct bird houses that are later painted by volunteers and sold in the space. “We had a lady come in and volunteer to make sewing items,” explained Adcock. “We had six bags of blue jeans from our thrift store to repurpose. And we have wood donated th “at would normally go into the landfill, so we need some guys or women to come together to work with wood.” All sales proceeds directly fund CDS's ongoing services like the homeless program and other internal projects that aren't government supported. “These projects are not government funded but are very high on the needs of individuals we support,” Adcock said. “But we can't pay staff and keep the prices reasonable, so we are looking to bring in people from the community to support our folks in learning new things.” Anyone interested is encouraged to visit the centre at 1468 Bay Ave or call CDS at 364.1104.

FREDERICK J. NAGEL September 23, 1929 - May 15, 2015

Fred passed away unexpectedly but peacefully at home in Duncan, BC at the age of 85. Born in Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan to parents Karl and Eugenia Nagel and raised on a farm in Spring Valley, he worked in mining in Sudbury, Ontario before moving west to settle in Trail, BC in 1951, where he spent most of his life. In retirement he and his wife Margaret moved to Vancouver Island, living first in Chemainus and then Duncan, to be closer to their grandchildren. Predeceased by his wife of 57 years, Margaret Nagel, who he married in 1954 in Rossland, his brothers Carl, Edgar and Gerald; his sisters Marie Rossworm, Emma Swift, Ida Thurston, Ella Hirschmiller, and Frances Unilowsky. He is survived by his sister Agnes Trask (90). Fred will be dearly missed by his daughters Gaylene Nagel of Manhattan Beach CA and Penny Moffat (Jack) of Saltair BC; his beloved granddaughters, Crystal Banks (Brian) and Jade Carver (Dustin) and his precious great-grandchildren Colton (8) and Callia (5) Banks, all on Vancouver Island. In his years of service to the City of Trail, Fred touched many lives. He served with the Trail Fire Dept. for over 25 years and also completed many Industrial First Aid courses so he could be active with the BC Ambulance Service. He owned and operated the Trail Driving School for over a decade and taught many community members to drive. Fred was often a volunteer or participant in many community activities through the years including Silver City Day parades, Christmas tree bonfires, tree lighting on the Esplanade, Birchbank picnics, Club Steak Frys and was a seasoned competitor in annual golf tournaments in Rossland and Trail. Fred was an active member of the community holding memberships in various clubs and organizations including the Knights of Columbus, the Eagles, Birchbank Golf Course, Rossland-Trail Golf & Country Club and Red Mountain Ski Club. An avid outdoorsman, he spent much of his leisure time fishing with friends at his cabin at Kootenay Lake, golfing, skiing, playing pool, tennis, bocce, darts and horseshoes. Anyone that knew Fred knows he loved competition, and he even competed in the 1989 and 1995 BC Seniors Games in Table Tennis. After his retirement from the Trail Fire Department he was active in the Senior Center in Castlegar, as well as Chemainus and Duncan, after his move to the Island. Although we mourn our great loss, we will celebrate the life of a great man, and a life well lived. At Fred’s request, the family will hold a private burial ceremony at Cedar Valley Memorial on Friday, May 22 where he will be laid to rest next to his wife Margaret. Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Letterman signs off with final show THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - There are those who will argue that the world of television hasn’t suffered such a loss in nearly a generation, and they’re right. When David Letterman signed off CBS’ “Late Show” for good Wednesday, he closed the book on more than his own incomparable career in late night. He closed out a broadcasting epoch that also encompasses his mentor, “Tonight Show” host Johnny Carson, who retired with great emotion and ceremony in 1992. Dave also called it a day for Steve Allen and Jack Paar, who back in the 1950s broke ground as each took a turn as the host of “Tonight.” All that is part of

Letterman’s legacy - as well as a career-spanning total of “eight minutes of laughter,” he cracked in his final monologue. For anyone sad that Letterman is leaving the spotlight, he offered joking consolation, announcing that he and about-tobe-former bandleader Paul Shaffer would soon “be debuting our new act at Caesars Palace with our white tigers.” If only. Dave’s much-awaited finale was surprisingly unsurprising for such a momentous occasion. But it was clearly what Letterman wanted for himself: a wrapping up and an occasion to say thanks. He seemed to enjoy himself greatly in the process.

James DeBiasio July 21, 1927 - May 19, 2015 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jim DeBiasio, surrounded by family, at the Trail Regional Hospital. Jim is survived by his wife of 64 years, Diana; son Brian (Maureen); daughter Carol (Kevin) and daughter-in-law Lisa. He was predeceased by his son Steven. Jim also leaves ﬁve grandchildren; Ryan (Teresa); Jill (Chris); Eric; Lucas and Alexa, as well as many nieces and nephews. In addition, Jim is survived by his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Loretta and Reno Zanier. He was predeceased by his parents, Antonio and Angelina, and his three brothers and their wives, Tony (Velia); Ugo (Bev) and Romeo (Tina). Jim was also predeceased by his mother-inlaw and father-in-law, Maria and Giordano Zanier and his sister-in-law Gina Zanier. Jim worked at Cominco for 42 years, retiring in 1985. He was a member of the Holy Trinity Catholic Church and the Colombo Lodge. Jim enjoyed curling, cross-country skiing, gardening and camping. His greatest joy was spending time with family and friends. A funeral service will be held Wednesday, May 27 at 10:30 a.m., at Holy Trinity Catholic Church with Father Bart van Roijen, celebrant. Gwen Ziprick of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services has been entrusted with the arrangements. As an expression of sympathy, donations in Jim’s memory may be made to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital Health Foundation at 1200 Hospital Bench, Trail, BC, V1R 4M1 or online at www.kbrhhealthfoundation.ca. Special thanks to Jim’s doctors and the nurses and support staff on the Third Floor at Trail Regional Hospital.

At the top of the show, he was showered with a two-minute standing ovation. Then some of his favourite celebs delivered the final Top 10 List. He presented a sampling of vintage clips, and a new filmed segment displayed a day in the life of Dave doing “Late Show” fun, even instructive, if an odd idea since this is no longer the way Dave’s day will go. Near the end of the show, Letterman voiced appreciation for all the praise and tributes, “merited or not,” directed at him recently, but added, “Do me a favour: Save a little for my funeral.” He thanked, in generous detail, his staff, crew and talent, who “deserve more credit for this show than I ever will.” He thanked his wife, Regina, and their son Harry, shown in the audience, telling them, “I love you both, and nothing else matters,

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A British Columbia man got the vacation photo of a lifetime in Thailand and he can’t even take credit for it. Christian LeBlanc was feeding an elephant when the animal grabbed his GoPro camera, set to continuous shooting, and snapped a photo with its trunk. The snapshot, which LeBlanc is calling the world’s first elephant selfie - or “elphie” - has gone viral after the 22-year-old recently posted it on Instagram. The University of British Columbia student and his girlfriend were travelling on the island of Koh Phangan two months ago with when they came across a couple of elephants. LeBlanc says baskets of bananas were being sold for 50 cents to feed the pachyderms, but the elephant quickly became touchy when they ran out of food. He says he was in shock when the animal grabbed his camera and snapped the picture, and it took him a moment to react. “Elephants are incredibly intelCars 1990 HONDA ACCORD: Black, auto, looks great, runs great, asking $1500 firm. 250-365-2942.

perfected. What they hosted, more like variety shows, are available for playback any hour of the day, either whole or parsed out in digital snippets. Where does this leave viewers now in Letterman’s absence? Immersed, as before, in a wide-open culture of humour he helped mastermind an ironic, irreverent sensibility sufficiently absorbed into the ethos that it is scarcely noticed anymore, much less recognized as being largely of Dave’s making. Note: No one uses the term “Lettermanesque” anymore. It’s just assumed. In the final starstudded Top 10 List (“Things I’ve Always Wanted to Say to Dave”), Tina Fey weighed in with: “Thanks for finally proving men can be funny.” Which Letterman did, and so much more.

does it?” And he thanked his viewers: “There’s nothing I can ever do to repay you.” With that, he concluded, “The only thing I have left to do for the last time on a television program: Thank you and good night.” Whereupon his byrequest band, the Foo Fighters, pounded out a chosen song, “Everlong,” over which a rapid-fire slide show of Dave’s TV life flashed. The effect was riveting, and, maybe for the first time, there was no denying: Dave was gone. The late-night talk TV world Letterman leaves behind is packed with capable hosts on many networks,but what they preside over, strictly speaking, is neither talk TV or late night. This collection of hosts are mostly feelgood, up-for-anything entertainers, not the wry, leery talker Dave

ligent and it definitely makes you wonder if it was a conscious action,” he says in an email. He says he wasn’t worried because the elephant seemed quite gentle, despite its size. Luckily, the camera wasn’t damaged when he got it back. LeBlanc still can’t believe the worldwide media coverage the photo has attracted. “The global attention has been a total joy ride. I keep laughing when I see the story reach another outlet or country. To think my unexpected photo would make global news is almost unbelievable.” He jokes that his next goal is to get the attention of comedian and TV host Ellen DeGeneres, adding a hashtag: #elfieonellen. LeBlanc had been studying abroad as part of a UBC program in Bangkok, but his semester ended two weeks ago and he is now travelling across Asia. He and his girlfriend Laura Reid, both from White Rock, B.C., are in the Philippines, where he says he’s captured another “epic” selfie, this time of a whale shark.

Provincial BC Ferries’ name campaign undeterred despite being mocked THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - BC Ferries says its contest to name a new fleet of vessels won’t be sunk even as people mock the company’s fare costs, service cuts and executive salaries with suggested monikers like “Coastal Cash Grab.” The corporation began its #NameAFerry campaign on Tuesday, asking the public to name three new vessels for a chance to win over $500 in ferry travel. “We’re proud to be introducing three new intermediate class ferries that will become part of our shared culture and history,” the company wrote on Facebook. “Celebrate the beauty of coastal B.C. by submitting your best names.” But cheeky social media users quickly grasped the opportunity to ridicule the quasi-Crown corporation. A deluge of proposed names has included entries such as “Coastal Community Collapse,” “Queen of Increasing Fares” and “Spirit of Unfettered Capitalism.” Another suggestion: “Queen of the Oblivious Marketing Department.” Others opted to ridicule the company’s prize, with one Facebook user quipping: “$500? So one round trip with a family then...” BC Ferries spokeswoman Deborah Marshall said the corporation received over 1,400 entries within 24 hours of launching the campaign, and most of them were serious submissions. She said the company anticipated some negativity on social media, but the contest will continue as planned, until June 9. “People have fun on social media,” she said. “We’ve seen the naming suggestions on social media. We think some of them are quite funny.” Details for the contest are posted on the BC Ferries website.

Expert drops out of ‘biased’ Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline review THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A prominent economist has dropped out of the National Energy Board’s review of Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, accusing the board of betraying Canadians with a “biased” and “broken” process. Robyn Allan, an outspoken critic of the expansion, said she is withdrawing as an expert intervener because the review’s scope is so narrow that the outcome is predetermined. “It’s a rigged game,” a former CEO of the Insurance Corp. of British Columbia said Wednesday. “We’re getting the scope that supports Kinder Morgan. It’s a private sector, ‘How do we get to yes?’ masquerading as a public interest review.” Kinder Morgan’s proposed $5.4-billion expansion would twin an existing pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby, B.C., tripling its capacity to 890,000 barrels of petroleum a day. The energy board is expected to make a final decision on the project next January. The board had approved Allan’s participation for her

Solution sought for border crossing By Anna Killen Terrace Standard

A compromise may be in the works to restore 24-hour access between the communities of Stewart, B.C. and Hyder, Alaska with Canada’s border services agency confirming it has been looking at alternative service options for the border crossing. “We have been consulting with stakeholders in and around Stewart, B.C., as well as with first responders and law enforcement partners to explore additional alternative service options,” said Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) spokesperson Robin Barcham in an email this morning. Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP Nathan

Cullen said he spoke with CBSA officials and indicated that the solution could come by way of a 24-hour access phone that would allow residents, tourists, and workers to cross during the overnight hours. There is currently a phone at the crossing that is for emergency access only. “It would only work if tourists, locals, people coming in

from Hyder itself and to Stewart were able to get through that border as well,” said Cullen. “It’s a very unique situation.” The border connecting the two tiny communities has been closed overnight since April 1 – an open road manned by a border guard replaced with a locked gate and an emergency access phone.

expertise in risk, insurance, economics and corporate structure. About 400 interveners are involved in the Trans Mountain review. Spokeswoman Tara O’Donovan said the board values public input and was “disappointed” that Allan chose to withdraw. She strongly rejected accusations of bias and insisted the review was fair. “Every board member is held to an exemplary standard of ethical conduct and has a desire to serve the Canadian public interest,” O’Donovan said in a statement. “The rules of natural justice, including those relating to conflict of interest and bias ... are closely followed. To suggest otherwise is simply wrong.” In a scathing letter to the board this week, Allan questioned why the review was limited to the proposed new pipeline and infrastructure, rather than

looking at the existing line and system as a whole. “When you have an earthquake, for example, and it disrupts two pipelines because they’re in close proximity and some of the oil spills into the Fraser River, they’re not looking at that,” Allan said. She also criticized the panel for examining only the capacity that Kinder Morgan had applied for -540,000 barrels rather than the much greater capacity that’s part of its design. She also questioned why the marine shipping assessment is limited to an area of just 12 nautical miles. Allan said the exclusion of oral cross-examination, allowing the company to respond in writing to questions, had turned the hearing into a “farce.” Further, she said the socioeconomic and environmental effects of bitumen exploration should have been

included. She also questioned why Kinder Morgan was allowed to amass $136 million from a surcharge on shipper tolls to pay for predevelopment costs. She said the cost to shippers meant they were making smaller net profits and paying less taxes. “In an unprecedented decision, the NEB took Kinder Morgan’s shareholders away from the risk and put it on the backs of Canadians,” she said. Trans Mountain

spokeswoman Ali Hounsell said in a statement that an intervener’s role is important and it’s unfortunate that Allan chose to remove herself from the review process. “Trans Mountain is committed to a transparent and full review of our proposed expansion project as defined by the NEB, and we will continue to have meaningful conversations both inside and outside of the regulatory process,” she said.

Village building trust and setting goals

ince our last article in the Trail Times Salmo’s Village Council has continued its work to get the village back on track, to build trust with residents and to set achievable goals for the future. For the first time Council completed a comprehensive strategic planning session facilitated by our new Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Diane KalenSukra. This planning session reviewed every facet of our operations and service delivery, including possible projects and prioritized them. The Village’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Colin McClure then took that document and translated it into a budget (5 year financial plan) which we put forward to the public in two public consultation sessions. These sessions were well attended, as regular Council meetings continue to be. In the past, the Village has been challenged to meet the various reporting requirements in the Community Charter and other statutes, whether it be to have the financial plan or the audit completed by the deadline. While it certainly wasn’t easy, we were able to achieve our goal and by May 15th our audited financial state-

ments and 5 year financial plan were completed. We’ve also been moving grant applications forward to support proposed projects and the management of our assets and this work has resulted in our first grant being approved. With our mandate and commitment to making sure the governance of the Village is open and transparent, we continue to use larger venues to ensure that members of the public who want to attend Council meetings are welcomed. Interest in civic affairs remains high with no regular Council meeting having less than 30 members of the public attend – for a Village of 1100 this is remarkable, a model of local democracy, and a true testament to the interest and involvement of the public. The reintroduction of a question and answer session at every Council meeting and the move to “Town Hall” meetings with less formality ensures the voters know that their views are always welcome and Council is always prepared to explain the rationale for decisions. The practice of releasing as soon as possible information from “closed” meetings ensures the public is aware, whenever the law allows, of what Council is doing behind those closed doors. While

Community Comment the practice is new, it has been welcomed by the public. Council is pleased to have recruited such a highly qualified CAO to professionalize our operations. Ms. Kalen-Sukra has moved quickly to begin building a staff team that meets the needs of the Village and who understand and share Council’s commitment to open government. This also means that the important separation of Council from the hiring process and other appropriate operational matters is complete. Our CAO has appointed a new lead hand in civic works, Fred Paton, who has worked collaboratively with her to recruit three summer students. We feel confident that through the ongoing building of a great staff team the Village will be able to provide excellent service while keeping our

tax rate one of the lowest in the Kootenays. The recent visit of The Honourable Judith Guichon, Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia to Salmo really crystalized much that is great about our community. During her visit to Salmo Valley Estates, our new supportive housing centre, the Lieutenant Governor had the opportunity to not only speak to residents about their very positive life changing move to the new facility but also to speak with leaders in the community who had made it all happen. Former mayors in attendance included Ann Henderson who spoke about the building blocks needed including our medical clinic completed in 2010. Another former Mayor and long-time Council member Merle Hanson spoke about the years of work by previous Council’s and the many volunteers in service clubs who had provided so much to this Village. Phil Berukoff, Chair of the nonprofit society that operates Salmo Valley Estates and also a former Mayor and Councillor spoke about the 23 years of work he and others including Heather Street from our Chamber of Commerce and Regional District of Columbia Kootanay (RDCK) Director

Hans Cunningham had put in to bring this project to fruition. The Lieutenant Governor’s visit began with a meeting with current Council members – our present. She then met with our primary and high school students – our future. She ended her visit with those who had dedicated so much of their lives to making this a great Village with enviable amenities. Our village is built on the hard work and inspiration of so many volunteers and service organizations. This level of public engagement is one of the primary reasons why our current Council has been able to achieve so much in less than 6 months. With the continued support from our community, I have no doubt that for our little Village, the best is yet to come. Stephen White is the Mayor of Salmo. Community Comment is an opportunity for elected officials from our local municipalities to update citizens in the region on the events, plans and progress in their respective communities. Every Friday, the Trail Times will present, on a rotating basis, a submission from councils, school trustees or regional district directors.

attend to human connectedness in our cities will increase the demand on those services. Faltering social infrastructure will be costly. Many factors influence social connectedness. One is the design of our communities – the space where social and physical infrastructure meet. Some arrangements of housing, businesses, schools, roads and buildings are socially productive, supporting the informal interactions of individuals, families, groups and organizations. Some are not. While we may not know why, we are naturally drawn to places that support such interactions – plazas, cafes, streets with little shops, places to sit, hang out, and watch each other. A significant question we must attend to is how our physical infrastructure builds or erodes social capacity. What do we know about the interaction of physical and social infrastructure that can guide us toward building new infrastructure that is more socially generative than what we currently have? What have we built that depletes or fights against social capacity? Perhaps we might re-think whether it can be retrofitted to yield a higher social return rather than just fixing up what hasn’t given us what we need. Milton Friesen is the program director of the Social Cities project of the think tank Cardus.

Old card continues to be played

An editorial from the New Glasgow News The new head of Quebec’s separatist party got off to a rousing start Monday typical of opposition politicians. Pierre Karl Peladeau, who won the Parti Quebecois leadership Friday, drilled Premier Philippe Couillard on what he plans to do about a looming loss of employees at Bombardier Inc. and the possible relocation of the head offices of some Quebec giants. Peladeau, upon winning the leadership contest, also made it plain that sovereignty remains on the agenda and that he will

make it a major issue in the 2018 election campaign. Couillard had responded to both issues. He said his Liberal party would continue to focus on the economic, political and financial stability needed to keep businesses and their offices in the province. He’s got a shift in attitude to back him up. Support for sovereignty has more than softened, it’s pretty much deflated. And yet, doubtless this new PQ boss will flog that agenda. So, OK, yet another referendum will be on the party’s platform. And then if people vote against it – or perhaps choose

not to elect the PQ – can we just put it behind us? That province, like this one and all the others, wants to focus on economic, political and financial stability, the things Couillard mentioned. But unfortunately, political life is never that simple. In addition to having its independence theme – sometimes front burner, sometimes back – the PQ for the past four decades has provided that alternative choice to the Liberals. Without a new alternative on the scene, that’s not likely to change, so for the time being we’ll get this spiel over and over again.

Doubt …show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. Jude 1:22 Throughout history, godly men and women have struggled to understand God and make sense of their unique circumstances. Many times those circumstances caused them to doubt and ask hard questions. Doubt is part of the human condition and must be conquered to experience faith. Faith is not the absence of doubt but the remedy to doubt. We somehow feel that the burden is on God to erase our doubts. We look at doubt and demand an immediate answer from God. God looks at doubt and says patience, soldier on. A faith that has been doubted can be confirmed, A God who has been trusted can prove Himself trustworthy. Perhaps you find yourself in a difficult circumstance; sickness, marital problems, death of a loved one, whatever your situation, I encourage you to trust Gods past faithfulness and continue to wait on Him. Those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their faith…

Templeton Prize winner poses tough question

n 1964, 2015 Templeton Prize winner Jean Vanier visited an asylum in Trosly, France. He discovered a hidden world of anguish and hopelessness where intellectually disabled people were locked up and lived without hope. He took action, inviting two of the disabled men who had no family to live with him. Their mutually transformative experience of living together attracted others. From this humble beginning, Vanier founded L’Arche, a unique organization of one hundred forty-seven communities around the globe where the able and disabled live as peers. louise Emphasizing the common humanity of all people, L’Arche is a sign of hope; despite Everyday Theology their different abilities, cultures and religions, people live together in peace. Vanier’s Trosly experience was liberating. Freed from the culture of success where people are valued for their abilities and achievements, he discovered what it means to be fully human. In Vanier’s experience and thought, to be fully human means to discover that each individual is a treasured part of the human family. Before being a Christian or a Jew, before being an American or a Russian, before having visible or invisible disabilities, says Vanier, we are a person. When Vanier speaks of what it means to be fully human, he embraces the vulnerability that many of us try to hide. For Vanier, the story of every individual is the discovery of one’s fragility. Living with vulnerable people has taught him that the cry of the disabled for love is the common cry of every person; it is a cry from the heart of God. When people are loved for who they are, not for what they can do, their spirit soars, and they can enter more deeply into relationship. I first heard of Vanier in the 1970’s. My late mother-in-law, who was instrumental in bringing Vanier to our diocese to give a retreat, said of him, “He preached the gospel by the way he lived.” He made a deep and lasting impression on her, as he did on other individuals who attended the retreat, and who still speak about him with great clarity. One woman, who told me about her retreat experience, said the content of the retreat was secondary to Vanier himself. He opened up a God of love for her with his gentle manner and the love in his eyes. Listening to Vanier, she said, “was like sitting as a child at the feet of the Master”. Another individual described Vanier to me saying, “He is the most authentic person I have ever met. His commitment to the gospel was remarkable and he was living it beautifully.” The Templeton Prize honors an individual who has made an extraordinary contribution to affirming life’s spiritual dimension. While it is clear that Vanier’s Christian faith and love of Jesus is at the basis of his lived theology, he is not pushy about creed. Asked what he would say to a person who does not believe in God, Vanier answered, “Do you believe in love? You don’t need to believe in God. God is love. The important thing is not belief - but can you grow in love?” That may be the tougher question. Trail, BC resident Louise McEwan is a freelance religion writer with degrees in English and Theology.

Benefits battle for decorated hero highlights disconnect with Veterans Affairs

Best returns ever for Canada Pension Plan THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The fund that manages investments for the Canada Pension Plan says it just had the best year in its history. The CPP Fund’s portfolio had a net return of 18.3 per cent in the 12 months ended March 31, the highest one-year return since it started 16 years ago. Assets grew by $45.5 billion to $264.6 billion at the end of its 2015 financial year. Only $4.9 billion of the increase came from contributions while $40.6 billion came from investments. The CPP Investment Board says the strong performance was due to growth in stock markets, bonds, private assets and real estate holdings. The value of its investments also got a $7.8-billion boost from a decline in the Canadian dollar against certain currencies. The CPP Board sees the United States as a key destination for investments in the near term, but expects to shift a bigger share of its assets to faster-growing emerging economies over time. Emerging markets equities account for about 5.9 per cent of the assets managed by the CPP Investment Board, but chief executive Mark Wiseman said Thursday the fund is building its capabilities in markets like India, China and Latin America in a “slow and prudent progression.”

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - A decorated Canadian soldier who was released from the military for severe post-traumatic stress disorder has since been assessed by Veterans Affairs as having simple anxiety, making access to benefits and services more difficult. Former master corporal Collin Fitzgerald, who was awarded the Military Medal of Valour in the killing fields of Kandahar, said he was floored by the determination, which came as he sought benefits following his career in the infantry. Fitzgerald’s plight underscores a frequent disconnect between National Defence and Veterans Affairs as they transition soldiers into civilian life - a quandary military ombudsman Gary Walbourne highlighted last spring in his report. Walbourne said it should be National Defence doctors who establish why a soldier is being medically released. Many ex-soldiers, including Fitzgerald, have faced a struggle for benefits once Veterans Affairs either reviews their medical files or obtains a conflicting medical opinion on whether the injuries are servicerelated.

Fitzgerald, whose bravery in rescuing fellow soldiers in 2006 made him an important symbol within the army, said retired general Walt Natynczyk took a personal interest in him while he was still of chief defence staff. He said Natynczyk has also stayed in touch and has been helpful since becoming deputy minister at Veterans Affairs. “I worry about all the guys out there who don’t have a Gen. Natynczyk watching out for them,” Fitzgerald told The Canadian Press in a recent interview. Martin Magnan, a spokesman for Veterans Affairs Minister Erin O’Toole, said he’s unable to comment on individual cases. Fitzgerald said he faced delays in processing all four of his claims before Veterans Affairs, but noted that since being appointed a new case manager last year, his files now seem to be moving along. “I know guys that just get fed up dealing with them that it just isn’t worth the time,” Fitzgerald said. “It ends up eating up so much of your time fighting with these guys. It’s like an insurance company, and it’s wrong.” While not commenting on the

Opposition parties agree to TV debate

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The opposition parties might have agreed to a national English debate broadcast by the major TV networks, but the Conservatives aren’t budging on their decision to skip it. The NDP, Liberals and Green party reached an agreement in principle Thursday with the television consortium that has traditionally organized the election debates, for two national broadcasts with simultaneous translation. The consortium includes CBC’s French and English channels, Global News and CTV. The Englishlanguage broadcast will feature Tom Mulcair, Justin Trudeau and Elizabeth May, while the French language broadcast will also feature Bloc Quebecois Leader Mario Beaulieu. The Bloc said it was upset to not be included in the English match-up. If the opposition parties and networks were hoping to nudge the Conservatives into changing their mind, it didn’t work. Spokesman Kory Teneycke pointed out that the party already

firmly rejected the consortium’s proposal two weeks ago, and selected alternative debates. “From our perspective the slots have been filled with respect to the English debates,” Teneycke said in an email. “We have one left in French. Our response has not changed with respect to the Consortium proposal. It was a decision, not a public negotiation.” But the consortium’s proposal appeared to change substantially between a meeting two weeks ago with the parties and Thursday. The Tories had emphasized the need for the debates to be available on different broadcasting platforms. The consortium responded to that by announcing a partnership with Google,

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vine and YouTube. Still, it remains unclear whether the TV debates will hold together without the prime minister’s participation. And there remains the possibility the Conservatives could say yes to just the French-language consortium debate. Here’s a recap of what’s been proposed, and who has said yes: Consortium debates: NDP, Liberals, Greens and Bloc Quebecois agreed in principle, Conservatives firm no. Maclean’s Magazine: Conservatives and NDP firm yes. Munk Debates, on foreign policy: Conservatives firm yes, NDP agreed in principle. Globe and Mail/ Google Canada,

Fitzgerald case, department spokeswoman Janice Summerby said the department does accept the diagnosis of military doctors, but was not specific about the caveats. But the legislation governing Veterans Affairs obligates the department to do its own assessment. The department has been under fire for having too few case managers and overworking the ones they have - something Veterans Affairs Minister Erin O’Toole has attempted to remedy with additional hiring. Fitzgerald didn’t offer an opinion on how the transition issue could be fixed, saying he was concentrating on his own health and carrying on with his life, which has included a couple of recent brushes with the law. He said he’s been able to return to school with the help of Veterans Affairs programs, but it was a long and frustrating process. The return to classes has also led to volunteering with at-risk youth. O’Toole said the disconnect between Veterans Affairs and what military doctors are saying can be dealt with by having departmental staff more involved in the decisionmaking earlier in the process at operational stress injury clinics.

odern westerners enjoy a lifestyle that confers many health advantages, including ready access to clean water and medicine. Now it appears we have lost something along the road to modernization. In a study published in April 2015, in the Journal Science Advances, an international team of researchers has shown that the bacteria living in the digestive tracts of previous uncontacted hunter-gatherers in Venezula, are the most diverse yet found in any human group.

Rockets face partisan Quebec crowd in Memorial Cup opener By Warren Henderson Kelowna Capital News

Quebec City — With a pro-Quebec crowd of more than 10,000 expected in the seats on Friday night, the atmosphere inside the storied Colisée Pepsi will be unlike anything the Kelowna Rockets have experienced this season. It’s an environment Josh Morrissey plans to fully embrace, even if his visit-

ing Rockets won’t be feeling much love against the host Remparts in the opening game of the Memorial Cup. “I know for myself, I’d rather play in front of a full, loud building, even if you’re not the favourite of the fans,” the 20-year-old Calgary-born defenceman said. “I saw a game there when I was 12, it’s got a ton of history, it’s a great hockey city, it seems like a fun arena to play in.”

The Remparts, who are coming off a seven-game loss this week to Rimouski in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League final, will be looking to get back on track Friday with a quick start in front of their hometown fans. On the other bench, Kelowna head coach Dan Lambert said the Rockets hope to derail any such plans with a simple and focused approach to Game 1.

“The fans are going to be ramped up, the (Remparts) are going to be ramped right up, and hosting, the pressure probably falls on them a little bit because I’m sure they want to do well for their fans,” said Lambert. “In saying that, we’re not looking past the first game, we’re looking at the first period of our first game. “That’s all that matters right now.”

Culley named to Canada’s Olympic qualifying team Submitted VANCOUVER – Rossland’s Thea Culley will once be carrying Canada’s colours on the international field hockey stage. Culley was one of 18 players named to the Canadian Women’s Field Hockey Team’s roster on Thursday that will compete for 2016 Olympic qualification at the World League semifinals in Valencia, Spain from June 10 to 21. Of the eighteen athletes named to the touring roster, sixteen, including Culley, were a part of the Women’s National Team that finished second to host Ireland at World League Round 2 in Dublin in March. The World League semifinal is an Olympic qualifying event from which the top three finishers of 10 teams earn spots at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. With its appearance in the final and the second place finish at World League 2, Canada assured itself two opportunities to qualify for the 2016 Olympics; the first being a top three finish at the semifinals, the second by winning the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto this summer. In Valencia in June, Canada is grouped with host Spain, as well as Argentina, China, and Great Britain in Pool A. Pool B consists of Germany, Ireland, South Africa, Uruguay, and the United States. Canada’s first match at the World League semifinals is on June 10 against China. Canada’s full schedule and results are available at the Field Hockey Canada website. The Women’s National Team plays four test matches against Ireland from this Saturday to May 27 at the new Pan Am Fields at the University of Toronto, site of the 2015 Pan American Games, before heading to Spain for World League.

Group asks for ban on motorized recreation on Columbia River Flats By Alex Cooper

Revelstoke Times Review

A recent mud bogging incident that caused heavy damage has prompted a call from the North Columbia Environmental Society to ban motorized recreation on theColumbia River Flats. In a letter to Revelstoke council and the Loni Parker, the Rural Revelstoke director, the local environmental group outlined numerous infractions in the Upper Arrow Lakes Drawdown Zone — locally known as The Flats. Of biggest concern was a mud bogging incident that required two days to pull a truck from the mud using a backhoe, three tow trucks and an excavator. “The results include… a broken hydraulic hose, oil spill, and violation of numerous regional, provincial and federal laws,” wrote NCES vice-president Fraser Blyth. “The NCES hereby requests that all motorized recreation be curtailed immediately and that no unlicensed vehicles be allowed within the drawdown zone.” The letter addresses other environmental concerns on the Flats and cites numerous violations that need enforcement, including destruction of fish habitat, destruction of wetlands and grasslands, dis-

turbance of waterfowl and wildlife, pollution, littering, and trespassing on private property. The drawdown zone is subject to a management plan that was established in early 2007. The Review obtained a copy of the plan labeled as “Final Draft Revised.” The plan was created by a multistakeholder group including local government, BC Hydro, provincial government agencies, private property owners, and other local stakeholders. It sets out a code of conduct for the drawdown zone, however the plan is not legally binding, said BC Hydro spokesperson Jen WalkerLarsen. “The code of conduct can only be enforced through existing legislation,” she said. Recreationalists – including hikers, cyclists, horseback rides, dirt bikers and ATVers – are expected to only used well-worn routes and stay out of sensitive areas. Mud bogging is specifically prohibited. Motorized access is not allowed south of Drimmie Creek (12 Mile). The NCES letter says violations of the Water Act, the Fisheries Act and the Wildlife Act are occurring regularly and they ask for greater enforcement. “Enforcement of regional, provincial and federal legislation is abso-

lutely essential to protect this sensitive habitat,” wrote Blyth. Enforcement itself is a mixedjurisdiction. The Conservation Officer Service is responsible for fish and wildlife violations. Sgt. Lawrence Umsonst, a conservation officer, said that a recent patrol at 12 Mile found several fishing violations, such as fishing without a licence, using multiple lines and using illegal gear. “Since that initial patrol to that area, (the CO) did two follow-up patrols and found the compliance was good, so that was really nice,” Umsonst told the Review. Enforcement of environmental damage, such as mud bogging, is the responsibility of the Ministry of Forests, Range and Natural Resource Operations. The local enforcement officer was contacted for this story, but he did respond to our call. Private landowners, which includes BC Hydro, can go after people under the Trespass Act. City council asked staff for a report on the matter. “This is not in the city of Revelstoke boundaries but we are being asked to support this,” said Mayor Mark McKee. “A lot of people still look at it as their backyard and as their backcountry recreation area. We have to be mindful of that as well.”

Fire restrictions in effect today

Black Press Taking effect today several fire related activities will be prohibited in the Southest Fire Centre in order to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. The ban includes the burning of any waste, slash or other materials; stubble or grass fires; the use of fireworks, sky lanterns or burning barrels or cages; the use of binary exploding targets and the use of air curtain burners. Individuals burning Category 2 and Category 3 open fires must extinguish them by noon on today, and the prohibition will remain in place until further notice. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Wildfire Management Branch noted that the prohibition does not apply to the boundaries of local government that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are services by a fire department. BC Parks, Crown land and private lands, however, are covered by the ban. According o the ministry’s press release, “The Southest Fire Centre is experiencing drier-thannormal conditions and an elevated fire hazard. These prohibitions are being put in place due to current weather conditions and the long-range forecast.” Campfires that are a half-metre high by a halfmetre wide or smaller along with cooking stoves using gas, propane or briquettes can continue to be used. Anyone found violating the fire ban may be issued of ticket for $345 and, if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 or sentenced to one year in jail. To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call *5555 on a cellphone or 1 800 663-5555 toll-free.

ity of Deer Park. It is not a city, a town, or even a village. As longtime resident Doris Latta put it, “We’re not even incorporated.” Year round there are about 10 occupied homes, but in the summer the population swells to about 60 people. Its designation as a community suits it perfectly. The people in Deer Park embody community in the truest sense of the word, not just in the form that simply denotes a population. Latta is the secretary treasurer of the Deer Park Recreational Society. The non-profit’s main purpose is to provide fire protection for residents from Cayuse Creek through Deer Park and up to Broadwater. They also help with fisheries work and things like opening roads after storms. The society maintains one fire truck, one water tank truck and a fire/community hall. Most of their

The tranquility and isolation of Deer Park allows residents to live a quiet lifestyle where neighbourly efforts are still crucial. funding comes in the form of grants from Regional District of Central Kootenay Area J and from the membership dues of its 50 members. The most recent action of the society was in response to the April 12 fire that destroyed the home of Marg and Dan Roller. By the time the call came through and recreational society president John Eriksson arrived on the scene with the water truck, the home was fully engulfed in flames and was beyond saving. Eriksson and his wife Edith, along with several other members, worked on keeping the fire from spreading to the surrounding forest. Eriksson is also the fire warden for the area encompassing Sunshine Creek to Pass Creek and on to Krestova. He notified the Ministry of Forests, who sent out an initial response team stationed at Shoreacres. An evacuation notice was issued for the area until crews were confident the fire would not

spread. The last time the community lost a home to fire was in 1996. That fire destroyed Doris Latta’s home and set in motion the elements that would combine to become the present recreational society. Latta’s fire happened early in the morning and among the first to notice the fire was a logging crew from Kalesnikoff Lumber, who helped fight it, but the fire reached the home’s propane tanks and the efforts switched from saving the house to saving the forest and community. “We are not trained to enter houses. We haven’t got the equipment or the experience. Our big thing is that if a place catches fire, we are going to try to stop it from spreading,” explained Eriksson. Kalesnikoff would later not only donate Deer Park’s first fire truck, but also provide most of the lumber to build the fire hall. The building was built with all volunteer labour on

land leased from the Ministry of Forests. When the time came for Deer Park to upgrade their fire truck, they sent the old one across the lake on a barge to the community of Renata. The recreational society also has two saves to their credit. Both of those fires started as forest fires and the work of the volunteers saved homes. Deer Park was founded in the late 1800s and reached its peak during the 1950s and ‘60s. At one time it boasted its own school, church, gas station, restaurant, dry goods store and post office. The town drastically changed after dam construction resulted in flooding. However, the community continues to press on. A new boat launch about four kilometers up the road has been completed this year. The recreational society is working on a project that is nearing completion that will bring gravity-fed water lines for the purpose of fire protection to

five stand pipes located throughout Deer Park that could be used to fill the fire truck or run hoses. “All that is left is to get our intake put in and get a proper screen put on it,” Eriksson says. Life in Deer Park is different. Residents must generate their own electricity, get water from a creek, cook with propane and heat with wood. Tall fences surround the gardens, not to keep the neighbour’s kids out, but because the population of deer that gave the town its name is still ever present. However, the residents love the beauty, tranquility and experiences with nature that this kind of life provides and would not trade it for a few conveniences. As resident George Latta firmly stated, “This is God’s country.” Nor would they trade in the old-fashioned tradition of neighbours looking out for each other.

Don’t overreact to minor relationship issue Mailbox

wildly overreacting. This is not an issue of coldness, impermanence or lack of importance. It’s laziness. When Jordan first met you, you asked him out. You became “girl from the gym” so he would remember who you were. As you spent more time together, he grew to care about you, but editing your name in his contact list required a minor effort that he probably kept putting aside since he knew how to reach you. Now the relationship is important, and he wants to look you up with your real name. The fact that he should have done this six months ago is irrelevant. He’s doing it now. If everything else is wonderful, a better response would have been

to laugh and recognize that nobody’s perfect. Dear Annie: This is in reference to the letter from “Sad Mom,” who said a boy in her son’s school committed suicide. She said the cause of death was not explained and there had been irresponsible speculation on social media. I have been in the funeral business for five years. Giving information like that is up to the family. It’s their call. What the school wants, what the other parents want or what is happening on social media is not important to them. They are grieving, and what they choose to say is entirely their business. -- Funeral Home Manager Dear Funeral: We completely agree that details about the cause of death are only to be shared by family members who wish to do so. It is no one else’s business, and the family should not be burdened by others’ curiosity. But in a school, the students’ concerns and fears should not be ignored as though nothing happened. This

Dear Annie: I’ve been seeing (and sleeping with) “Jordan”’ for eight months. We met at the gym, and I asked him out because I had an amazing feeling about him. Since then, I’ve become totally infatuated. He is one of the kindest men I’ve ever met. I thought I saw a future for us. But the other day, Jordan casually mentioned that he needed to change my name in his phone. When I asked what he meant, he said he still had me listed as ‘’girl from the gym.” I couldn’t believe it. We’ve been together eight months! I expressed my hurt and told him that such a thing was very cold. He didn’t seem to think it was a big deal. But, Annie, I haven’t been able to get over this detail. I see it as a total lack of respect and proof of my impermanence in his life, and it means I’m definitely not someone important to him. Am I overreacting? I thought he was actually the one. -- Phony Love Dear Love: You are
