New funding aimed to improve rural Internet access

BY TIMES STAFF Internet access for rural residents in areas such as Ross Spur, Fruitvale, Genelle, Rossland and Salmo will be improved thanks to a $3.34 million funding announcement by the federal government on Wednesday.

The funding has been handed to the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) to provide high speed Internet to 11,000 households in the Kootenay region by 2017.

“Depending on the work required some areas may see something sooner,” Delphi Hoodicoff, the CBT’s director of communication, told the Trail Times on Thursday.

The goal is to provide download speeds of up to 10 megabits per second (Mbps) to households in rural areas across.

In its press release, the CBT said its subsidiary, Columbia Basin Broadband Corporation, will be working with a dozen Internet service providers including China Creek Internet Services Ltd., Columbia Wireless Inc., and Peak Broadband Solutions.

For a full list of the service providers involved in the project visit cbt. org.

With James Moore, the federal Minister of Industry, in attendance, Kootenay Columbia MP David Wilks made the announcement alongside local government representatives and Internet Service Providers (ISP) partners in Cranbrook.

University of British Columbia program is a major accomplishment for the long-time Trail doctor, who just left clinical practice after 28 years of dedication to her patients.

“It's very interesting and it's a real privilege to be a rural doctor,” she said. “It's a demanding job and it takes someone who has adventurous and courageous spirit.

“Rural doctors have to cope with a lot of stuff that urban doctors don't have to cope with because they're

often on their own,” she added.

“Many of them have advanced skill training in lots of different things and they are very adept or they have to learn to become confident and competent in dealing with stuff that's quite broad ranging in terms of the skill sets that are demanded.”

The regional approach to the program has the doctors working in Trail, Nelson and remote areas in between.

avoiding the boulevard. Not so if you plant wisely. There are many very good looking plants that will tolerate a boulevard’s sometimes harsh conditions. A short list of drought tolerant, sun loving plants would include achillea, dianthus, perennial alyssum, Russian sage, rudbeckia, echinacea and sedum.

Shade tolerant plants in the event that your boulevard has big trees would include ferns, hellebores, astilbes, and pulmonarias.

Of course, if watering is not a problem, these lists would grow to include almost any perennial that grows in our climate.

The best way to help your plants to thrive would be to improve the soil at planting time by adding compost and manure.

The plants listed above for sun would need to be watered until they are established. At that point they would get by with occasional deep watering. The shade plants would require more regular water-

People stop and look. If we are in the front yard, they often comment about and compliment the garden. I have had pots in the boulevard that have not been touched.

One year a neighbor’s child did pick some tulips “for Mom.” I told him to bring Mom to enjoy the entire garden. It has not happened since.

If you can think of another reason not to plant the boulevard, share it with me. Allow me to argue my case for fixing them up. There is one more little reason people might be avoiding this area.

It would create more work! I will concede this.

But then I love gardening and none of it is work. It is a labour of love.

Duhamel/Sitkum fire 20 per cent contained

By Greg Nesteroff Nelson Star

A 380-hectare fire burning on the North Shore of Kootenay Lake is about one-fifth contained, a public meeting heard Wednesday night.

Incident commander Glen Burgess, whose team took over Tuesday morning, told about 200 people gathered at école des Sentiers-alpins (the former A.I. Collinson school) that the fire is an “extremely high priority” for the BC Wildfire Service.

“We are getting the resources we need to put our plan in place and contain the fire,” he said, noting that about 90 firefighters are at work on the blaze, along with 15 support staff, three helicopters, and nine pieces of heavy equipment. “We are making excellent progress.”

Burgess said firefighters have concentrated on the fire’s southern flank directly above homes as well as the east flank up to Sitkum Creek, and are starting to move ground crews to the west into Duhamel Creek. Only when they feel secure about those areas will they worry about the other side of the fire.

“Right now it’s about the homes,” he said.

“We won’t expend energy on the backside.”

Burgess explained that his team, one of six in the province, was called into remove the burden off local staff because it had grown beyond their capacity to handle.

About 350 homes remain on evacuation alert, but there is no immediate threat to residents. In the event of an evacuation, residents would be asked to report to either the Nelson and District Community Complex or the Balfour hall, the meeting heard.

Burgess said he would likely recommend lifting the evacuation alert once the fire’s east and west flanks are partly contained, but couldn’t guess when that might happen.

With the progress they have been making, he expected to have “a pretty good level of containment” in 10 days or so. However, it will require 25 to 30 mm of rain to douse the flames.

The forecast does not call for showers before Saturday.

When the floor was opened to questions, one resident suggested that crews were not swift enough in tackling the fire from the air after it flared up Saturday, but fire information officer Jordan Turner called the fire a “sleeping giant” and insisted air tankers moved in as soon as it made sense to do so.

In response to another question, Burgess said they are contemplating dropping fire retardant using a helicopter rather than a plane, but recognize it is a “sensitive issue” due to domestic watersheds in the area.

Others asked why certain areas, particularly Lower Six Mile Road, have not been included in the evacuation alert, but an answer wasn’t immediately available. Regional fire chief Terry Swan said the potential evacuation area is determined based on advice from the Southeast Fire Centre.

Community support needed to attract doctors FROM PAGE 1 Dr. Hume considers rural doctors to be full-service care providers, citing the work covered from emergency, obstetrical, general primary outpatient and knowing how to function in clinic and then in hospital settings.

Above all, she said, it’s their duty to be a constant advocate for their patients.

“To do that year in, year out, day in, day out over many years is a big job,” she admits.

“When those kinds of people retire or leave practice, it leaves a big hole. Family doctors are the foundation for the health care system.”

The program will attract these professionals to the region but ultimately the community has to win them over. That’s where Terry Van Horn, economic development officer for Lower Columbia Initiatives Corporation, fits in.

Under the Lower Columbia Community Development Team Society, the health and hospital committee has been committed to finding a way of really welcoming medical professionals in a way that will make a lasting impression.

In collaboration with some

$

like-minded people, they’ve come up with a welcome bag that provides information on recreation, employment opportunity (for other members of their family) and other key points about the region.

The grab bag also contains treats and coupons to various businesses across the region to get these individuals out making connections.

“We have to find ways to stand out, to be different from other communities,” said Van Horn. “It’s not enough to say that we have beautiful recreation because the entire province does.

“We have to create an experience that they’re going to remember.”

The ultimate goal is to roll the welcome concept forward into other sectors so that a company trying to solicit skilled professionals to the region, has somewhere to start.

The health and hospital committee was also instrumental in securing grant money toward supporting two years of accommodation to simplify housing needs for the rural family practice residents.

The first welcome bags were doled out last week when the four rural family practice residents were joined by three medical students from the Integrated Clinical Clerkship (ICC) program.

In its fifth year running, ICC invites third-year medical student to rural medical offices and hospitals for hands-on training.

Unlike a traditional block rotation where a student would work in one area of the hospital for a time then move on to another, the integrated clerkship allows a student to work with

patients through the entire care cycle—from diagnosis to treatment and follow-up.

Dr. Hume suggests enticing medical professionals with programs like this is only half of the equation.

The community needs to convince them to stay after their stint.

“What happens often is that we have to be careful that we really welcome and include these people in the community and that we make their experience happy for them so they’re encouraged to stay and that they establish and set up,” she said.

Servicing rural areas crucial FROM PAGE 1 “Today we live in an increasingly borderless world connected by the Internet,” said Wilks. “New technology has created tremendous opportunity for Canadians to communicate with each other and for businesses to compete globally.

“The Internet makes things cheaper and the world smaller.”

Currently, 94 per cent of Canadians have access to high-speed Internet, but the challenge becomes servicing the remaining six per cent in rural areas of the country, Wilks added.

May, Audrey Madge (nee Doubleday) July 27, 1919 - July 27, 2015 It is with deep sadness I announce the peaceful passing of my dearest sister, Audrey May on her 96th birthday in the heavenly Richmond Hospice -a beautiful place where she received outstanding care.

Audrey was born in Trail, BC to Anne & Len Doubleday. Following highschool graduation, she clerked in Lauener Brothers Jewellers and then joined the RCAF stationed in Ottawa as a photographer. After the war, Audrey started a photography shop in Kaslo in partnership with an Air Force girlfriend, Florence MacNicol. In 1977 while living in Vancouver Audrey married a distinguished Air Force pilot, Captain Bill May who was inducted into the Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame in 1979. They enjoyed traveling and Audrey continued to do so following Bill’s death in 1981.

During her time in Vancouver Audrey clerked at Woodwards, volunteered at the 1986 Expo and was also a Green Coat at YVR for 24 years.

For the past four years, Gillmore Gardens has been her home and where she made many wonderful friends.

Audrey is lovingly remembered by her sister Sybil Cowlin and her cousin and dear friend Toni van der Geest, who was always there for her and will be forever treasured.

Audrey was predeceased by her parents, older sister Jessie at age 12, brother Lorne in 1997, first husband Hedley Dunn, and second husband Bill May. There will be a Celebration of Life July 17, 2015 at St. Anne’s Anglican Church in Richmond, BC. In lieu of flowers, Audrey’s wishes were that donations be made to a charity of your choice.

Connie Nicholson April 26, 1917 – June 26, 2015 At the stroke of noon on June 26, we said Goodbye to dear Connie, surrounded by love and peacefulness: in her words, “a happy death”.

She exited on her own terms, after a life fully lived for 98 years. A remarkable woman in so many ways: actress, theatre director, writer, poet, teacher, wife, mother, and so much more. She exuded life to the fullest and was quick to share her considerable knowledge, wit and wisdom, bringing smiles to everyone around her. Connie’s family moved to Trail in 1921 after immigrating to Canada from Lancashire.

There she met her handsome young engineer John (Jack) Nicholson and they were married 67 years before his death in 2008. On Jack’s retirement in 1974 they moved to Maui and spent 14 happy years in that paradise before returning to live in Victoria. Connie studied theatre at UBC and later taught drama at Selkirk College. Connie wrote a weekly column for the Trail Daily Times and kept it up after moving to Maui. Wherever she lived, Connie immersed herself in the arts -- acting and directing in community theatre productions, organizing and participating in discussion groups of Shakespeare, Irish literature, and poetry where she was recognized for her extensive knowledge and expertise. A trooper to the end, Connie played the part of Lady Bracknell in her retirement home’s production of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, just two weeks before her death. Connie is survived by her two sons, David (Faye) and Paul (Catherine), grandchildren Linda, John, Emily and Riley, four great-grandchildren, and five great-great grandchildren.

“I have spread my dreams under your feet.

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.” -- W.B. Yeats A celebration of Connie’s life will be held in Victoria Wed July 15 at 2 pm at the UVic University Club.

Judge keeps Joni Mitchell’s longtime friend in charge of singer’s medical care THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - A judge on Wednesday praised Joni Mitchell’s longtime friend for helping the singer-songwriter recover from an aneurysm and ruled that she should continue to make medical decisions for the musician.

Superior Court Judge David Cunningham III said Leslie Morris should remain Mitchell’s conservator, with the authority to oversee medical care for the eight-time Grammy winner.

Morris has been acting in that capacity since May, when Mitchell was recovering in a hospital from an aneurysm in late March that rendered her unable to speak for some time. The singer has since returned to her Los Angeles home and regained her speech.

Mitchell, 71, is expected to make a full recovery, a court-appointed attorney wrote in a filing Tuesday.

Cunningham was impressed with Mitchell’s progress and said the conservatorship may not be needed for much longer. Morris does not have any control over Mitchell’s finances, and the singer

also retains her ability to vote, the judge ruled.

Morris and her attorney, Alan Watenmaker, declined to comment after Wednesday’s hearing.

In addition to winning multiple Grammy Awards, Mitchell was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.

She started her career in her native Canada before moving to Southern California, where she became part of the flourishing folk scene in the late 1960s. Her second album, “Clouds,” was a breakthrough with such songs as “Both Sides Now” and “Chelsea Morning,” winning Mitchell the Grammy for best folk performance.

Her 1970 album, “Ladies of the Canyon,” featured the hit single “Big Yellow Taxi” and the era-defining “Woodstock.” The following year, she released “Blue,” which ranks 30th on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.”

Her musical style integrates folk and jazz elements, and she counts jazz giants Charles Mingus and Pat Metheny among her collaborators.

PROVINCIal Teenager convicted of cyber ‘swatting’ handed 16-month jail term PORT COQUITLAM - A British Columbia teenager has been sentenced to 16 months in jail for online pranks and threats that caused mayhem in communities as far away as Ontario, California and Florida.

The 17-year-old boy has pleaded guilty to 23 charges, including criminal harassment, extortion and public mischief.

A provincial court judge in Port Coquitlam, B.C., also sentenced him to eight months’ supervision but when time served is tallied, the boy could be out of jail by early next year.

The teen, who can’t be named because of his age, has also been banned from using the Internet.

The youth was charged after several socalled swatting incidents, a type of cyber crime where a hacker seizes computer addresses to fake an emergency, sending a SWAT team or police to unsuspecting victims.

Court heard the targets were mainly women playing video games online but that in one case the teen’s hoax prompted a bomb squad to respond in California.

Evacuations, air quality advisories continue amid wildfires VANCOUVER - Residents in part of British Columbia’s Cariboo region have been forced from their homes after a wildfire more than doubled in size.

Fire information officer Emily Epp says the blaze in the Puntzi Lake area, about 180 kilometres west of Williams Lake, is now about 12 square kilometres in size.

Thirty properties have been evacuated, and other residents are on alert to leave their homes at any moment.

About 190 wildfires are burning across the province, and some communities are blanketed with thick smoke.

Several municipalities are under air quality advisories, including Whistler, B.C., where a high-risk rating has officials saying people should avoid strenuous outdoor activities.

Firefighters from Ontario have joined B.C. crews to help battle the blazes, and Australian crews are expected to arrive soon.

Milfoil worst in 30 years in Okanagan lakes

By Richard Rolke

Penticton Western News

An unfortunate bumper crop of milfoil has authorities considering a longterm response.

Growth of the invasive Eurasian milfoil is four to six weeks early in Okanagan lakes this year, and the conditions are considered the worst in 30 years.

“If this is the new normal, we’re not ready for it with the machines and staff we have,” executive director Anna Warwick Sears told Okanagan Basin Water Board directors Tuesday.

“It’s shocking how much more milfoil there is this year.”

It’s anticipated milfoil growth could continue to get worse if climate change leads to more early,

warm temperatures, so the OBWB is working on an asset management plan for new and replacement harvesting equipment. A contractor has also been hired to increase harvesting capacity by 30 per cent.

They will start on Osoyoos Lake and hit other areas later in the summer.

“We are running the harvester seven days a week, 10 hours a day to stay ahead,” said James Littley, OBWB operations manager.

Areas treated by OBWB crews over the winter, including beaches, are largely milfoil-free.

“Other aquatic weeds are also early and dense this year, which may increase public perception that milfoil is an

Conservation service still assessing fate of rescued bear cubs THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - Two orphaned black bear cubs that owe their lives to a Vancouver Island conservation officer who refused orders to kill the brother and sister still face an uncertain future.

The cubs, named Athena and Jordan, sat in the corner of a holding pen on Wednesday at the North Island Wildlife Recovery Association awaiting their fate, which could involve rehabilitation, release or euthanasia.

Insp. Chris Doyle of the British Columbia Conservation Officer Service said the cubs’ future remains unclear because when wild animals - even very young ones - get close to humans they become habituated.

“Obviously, the

preference is to keep the bears alive and wild and to prevent conflicts from happening in the first place,” he said.

“Communities, businesses and residents need to do their part to keep bears wild.

It’s a horrible situation to have to put down an animal of any kind.

The public, generally, does not want to see that happen. Nobody wants to see it happen.”

B.C. Environment Ministry statistics show that conservation officers destroyed 32 black bears last month, relocated 10 bears and frightened off 21 bears. No black bear cubs were sent to rehabilitation.

Doyle said bears, especially cubs, are not handed an immediate

death sentence when they come into conflict with humans, but the odds are not in their favour.

“Senior ministry staff, biologists, as well as wildlife veterinarians will determine how the orphaned cubs are dealt with and we’ll use various assessment tools, including ... the level of habituation and the level of food conditioning of those cubs to determine what can happen,” he said.

Doyle said initial examinations of the cubs point to exposure to conflict and habituation.

The cubs were orphaned when their mother was killed after breaking into a meat freezer inside a mobile home in Port Hardy on northern Vancouver

If a student becomes passionate about learning there is no limit to what can be accomplished.

Our district is committed to educating students to the highest standard possible while understanding that there is a limited amount of money available for this vital work. One of our districts challenges is to manage this change. We realize that one size does not fit all when it comes to successfully changing how education is delivered to students.

As an example, each year in each school a growth plan is developed. Parents and educators spend time considering what challenges students face in their specific school. A plan is developed, implemented, evaluated and changed over time. In the first few years of growth plan develop-

ment, schools largely focused on numeracy and literacy. Schools continue to focus on these vital skills but are now moving on to other student needs. As you read through the growth plans below you will see a wide variety of attempts to meet the needs of learners, keeping in mind that numeracy and literacy skills are still a high priority in every school.

Fruitvale Elementary The goal of the School Success Plan is to improve student awareness, understanding and achievement/ performance in the area of Personal Writing so that 85 per cent of their students will be meeting grade level expectations in June of each year. Fruitvale Elementary is focused on improving and strengthening students’ writing to ensure that it is interesting and clear for the reader as well as providing remediation strategies to assist all students in the writing process.

Glenmerry Elementary Using an inquiry based approach for school improvement the staff at Glenmerry Elementary discussed what would make the greatest positive differ-

Community Comment ence for student success in their school. Through this collaboration process they identified four areas of concern that impact a student’s “readiness” to learn: emotional and behavioural regulation, perseverance, motivation, and responding and recovering to stress. Glenmerry’s School Success Plan will focus on direct instruction for all grades in self-regulation skills and strategies with the expected outcome of improved academic success.

Webster Elementary Webster Elementary is focused on developing a school wide self-regulation program with the goal of transferring a self-regulation skillset and positive social behaviour into aca-

demic performance and well-being. A child’s ability to self-regulate will improve their ability to be ready and open to learn thus improving their academic performance. To this end, Webster will be implementing “The Zones of Regulation” program which will enable students to learn self-regulation and emotional self-control techniques to improve their ability to identify and self-regulate their behaviour and increase their academic performance.

Kinnaird Elementary Kinnaird Elementary will be focusing on the Communication competency outlined in the BC Education Plan in their School Success Plan. The Communication competency encompasses the set of abilities that students use to impart and exchange information, experiences and ideas to explore, understand and engage with the world around them. This competency provides a bridge between student’s learning, their personal and social identity and relationships, and the world in which they interact.

Robson Community School

A goal within Robson Community School’s School Success Plan is to use the “Mind Up Curriculum” resource to explicitly teach all students the brain focused strategies for learning and fostering mindfulness.

Through learning cognitive control, or mindfulness, students will improve and enhance their learning. Robson is committed to providing students with the skills necessary to allow them to stay focused and engaged and also take ownership of their own emotions and learning.

Twin Rivers Elementary/ Castlegar Primary Twin Rivers/Castlegar Primary’s focus within their School Success Plan is to improve student’s writing. Their goal is to ensure that 85 per cent of students will be meeting grade level expectations in June of each year. Student success is strongly related to their ability to communicate ideas in writing. Twin Rivers/Castlegar Primary will be focusing on the essential writing skills of presenting information, outlining procedures, and persuading others.

LETTERS & OPINION

Canada’s oversight gap threatens civil rights

An editorial from the Toronto Star Do Canadians expect the police, security services and border guards to share information about possible threats to the country? Of course.

We’ve had our share of attacks on Parliament and the military, conspiracies to bomb public sites and other threats. There’s no room for complacency.

But our defences are robust, and growing. And on Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s watch, an oversight gap has widened that needs to be plugged.

Ottawa now spends more than $6 billion a year on the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canada Border Services Agency, the prison service and other security agencies. Collectively, they employ 52,000 people. This year’s budget earmarked $300 million more.

Yet for all that our security services are forever lobbying to expand their ambit, as the Star’s Alex Boutilier reports. Just last year CSIS and the CBSA proposed that Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney author-

ize them to make “specific arrangements” to share personnel and resources, and to swap information, “without the necessity to seek your approval each time,” as CSIS director Michel Coulombe put it in a memo. It’s a troubling revelation.

Whatever practical interest CSIS and CBSA may have had in pushing such a change, it risked weakening Blaney’s direct ministerial accountability for and immediate oversight of activities by agencies under his control. And without Parliament’s input or approval. Given the secrecy surrounding the proposal it’s impossible to know whether this was a power grab or an innocuous bit of housekeeping.

What Canadians do know for a fact is that the heavy-handed AntiTerrorism Act that received royal assent last month involves a lot more than housekeeping, and puts us on a slippery slope. It allows informationsharing on a scale that dwarfs what CSIS and CBSA appear to have been contemplating.

And it is a threat to civil rights. It has been roundly decried by former prime ministers,

former Supreme Court justices, the Canadian Bar Association and civil libertarians. One poll found that a clear majority of Canadians, 56 per cent, disapprove of the act while just 33 per cent support it.

Already, there are calls for it to be rescinded.

The new law redefines threats to the “security of Canada” in the broadest possible fashion, potentially snaring all kinds of activists or dissidents.

It gives CSIS a sweeping new mandate to actively disrupt threats. It gives judges the power to sanction CSIS violations of Charter rights including privacy, freedom of expression and security of the person. And it lets police arrest and detain people on the thin grounds that they believe a crime “may” occur.

It also authorizes not only CSIS and the CBSA but also the RCMP and other security services to share Canadians’ personal information with no fewer than 100 government ministries and agencies listed in the federal Privacy Act. That list runs the gamut from the justice department and the military to Canada Revenue, the Toronto

Port Authority, the High Arctic Research Station, the Canadian Museum of Immigration, the Nunavut Water Board and the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration, to cite a few. It’s overreach that puts personal privacy and data at risk.

This relentless expansion of the security services’ operations — openly through the Anti-Terrorism Act and covertly through interagency deals — is especially worrisome given the Harper government’s stubborn refusal to provide adequate oversight of the nation’s security regime.

Unlike the United States, Britain and other allies, Canada has no mechanism to have Parliament scrutinize the security services’ operations. And while CSIS has credible oversight, CBSA does not. The Senate national security committee recently called for robust civilian oversight of CBSA, plus a complaints watchdog.

In the U.S., President Barack Obama’s administration has just brought in legislation that aims to strike a better balance between national

Helping students become lifelong learners FROM PAGE 6 Rossland Summit School Rossland Summit School’s School Success Plan has a goal which focuses on questioning as a critical thinking skill in all curricular areas to improve comprehension. Rossland has adapted the concept of questioning to each grade level within the school with the objective that 90 per cent of students will be able to ask questions that further their individual learning across the curriculum. Strong questioning strategies assist students in becoming lifelong learners and also provides a basis for improving critical thinking capabilities.

JL Crowe JL Crowe is focused on teaching students how to develop and incorporate strong and effective work habits into their school

experience. The goal of the School Success Plan is to realize a trend toward school-wide improvement in student academic achievement over four terms as work habits improve.

Strong and effective work habits will result in both academic and social-citizenship success for all students, is transferable to activities outside of school and will also assist in preparing students for post-secondary studies and the work force.

Stanley Humphries Stanley Humphries’s School Success Plan is focused on the ongoing success of Grade 8 students. The stretch goal of the plan is for 100 per cent of current Grade 8 students to graduate. To realize this goal, the strategies to be implemented include both academic objectives as well as a focus on improving the transition

to high school for new students and incorporating voice and choice within each grade 8 class. Promoting connections to the school and implementing a positive learning environment are also key goals within the plan which will assist in the realization of a strong completion rate for current and future Grade 8 students.

Trail & District Churches

A Christian Lives in Joyful Hope Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.

“When the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose” (Matt. 9:25).

This is the resurrection of the daughter of Jairus. Jesus has power to raise the dead. He has power over death. He is our Savior from death, the vanquisher of death. His own death on the cross was the death of our death. It vanquished it, robbed it of its power. In Christ “‘death is swallowed up in victory.’ ‘O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?’ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 15:54-57).

The sting of death is removed by the death of Christ. Death’s sting is sin. Because of sin we die, for death is the punishment for sin (Gen. 2:17; Rom. 6:23; 5:12). So because of our sins, we fear death because we fear their punishment. We fear what God will do to us after our death because of our former sins.

But Christ came to take our punishment for our sins, namely our death, upon himself on the cross to put an end to that punishment by suffering it for us, instead of us, thereby expiating our sins, making full reparation for them. If we put our faith in him, our sins are expiated and full reparation is made for them by his death on the cross, and this reparation is credited to us because of our faith in him. Hence his death, through our faith, removes the sting of death for us. The sting of death is the just punishment that will come to us for our sins when we die. That punishment is death’s victory over us. It is death’s sting.

But Christ in his death, through our faith, turns the tables on death. Because of his death, “death is swallowed up in victory” (1 Cor. 15:54). Because of Christ we are victorious over death. The punishment for our sins was already suffered for us on the cross, so death no longer has any sting for us. Our sins that give death its sting are expiated for us by Christ’s death, which made reparation for them.

Furthermore, it is the law that gives sin its power. But, because of Christ’s death, we are not under the law for our justification. No one has always perfectly fulfilled all of God’s moral law, yet because of Christ’s death, we can still be justified--made perfectly righteous before God--by our faith in him; so because of faith, we no longer have to fear the law and its condemnation of us for our sins.

Christ fulfilled the requirement of the law for us. The law required that we die for our sins. He took our place and died for our sins instead of us, thus fulfilling the law for us (Rom. 8:3-4). So, because of our faith, the law no longer condemns us. If the law does not condemn us, our former sins lose their power against us, and therefore death has no more sting for us. Our death is transformed into a passage into the fullness of life.

What we now need to do is to grow in holiness, letting the new man (Eph. 4:22-24), the new creation that Christ has made us (2 Cor. 5:17), seep ever more into us. We do this by taking the narrow way, the way of renunciation of the pleasures of the world, in order to love God with all our heart, with an undivided heart, for worldly pleasures divide our heart. Those who live a worldly life are not on the narrow way of life that is hard, but are on the wide and easy way of destruction. Many take the wide way. Few take the narrow way.

So once justified by faith, we no longer worry about our former sins. Reparation for them has already been fully made for us by Christ. Our concern now is to take the narrow way of life and in this way become ever more sanctified. If we die before we become fully transformed in Christ, God will give us a chance to grow more even after death if we still need it. So we should live a life of joyful faith and hope for eternal life, following the hard and narrow way of life of the few, and avoiding the wide and easy way of the many, which is the way of destruction.

“Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few” (Matt. 7:13-14). © Copyright 2007-2009 Rev. Steven Scherrer www.DailyBiblicalSermons.com

Vancouver mayor sole Canadian in climate-change group meeting Pope THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The mayor of Vancouver says he plans on encouraging the Pope to ramp up pressure on national governments across the globe to take action on climate change when he meets with the Catholic leader later this month.

Gregor Robertson will join about 30 other representatives of big cities from Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas for a two-day visit with Pope Francis in Vatican City on July 21. He will be the only Canadian representative in the delegation of global municipal leaders.

“It’s telling that the Pope is reaching out to mayors as part of his direct-action agenda to tackle climate action and poverty because we’re on the front lines of it and we’re committed to dealing with these challenges,” Robertson said in an interview.

“The Pope recognizes that mayors play a key role in leading communities to a better future — we’re where the rubber hits the road in taking care of cities and we’ve largely been left out of the conversation.”

Robertson levelled harsh words for the current Canadian government, saying it has “been in the bad books globally” because of inaction on the environmental front. National governments in general have failed to deliver solutions on climate change, he said.

“But at a city level there’s serious action and commitment and it’s important that the rest of the world understands that,” Robertson said.

“I’ll be sharing stories from our work in Vancouver and encouraging global cities and the Vatican to continue pressing for more urgent and aggressive action.”

Robertson referenced Vancouver’s commitment to converting the city to 100-per-cent renewable energy, the city’s calls for binding targets on climate pollution and its ambition at being recognized as the world’s greenest city.

The mayor, who isn’t Catholic and doesn’t follow any organized religion, said he was humbled to be included on the pontiff’s invite list.

“It’s a responsibility that I don’t take lightly.”

The invitation comes in the wake of the Pope’s unprecedented encyclical on climate change, which blamed climate change on an unequal, fossil fuel-based, “structurally perverse” economy that favours a culture of consumption at the expense of the world’s poor.

REGIONAL NDP pitches series of Kootenay-Columbia debates, Greens want Salmo included

BY ALEX COOPER

Revelstoke Times Review

The Kootenay-Columbia NDP campaign has issued a challenge to all candidates to take part in eight debates throughout the riding.

The challenge was issue by candidate Wayne Stetski last week.

He called for all four candidates to take part in debates in Revelstoke, Golden, Invermere, Kimberley, Cranbrook, Fernie, Creston and Nelson.

Green Party candidate Bill Green had accepted and upped the ante, proposing additional debates in Salmo, Kaslo and DOLBY 7.1 SURROUND SOUND

Crawford Bay. “We have a very large riding with many smaller communities and we need to work to make sure that very few voters need to travel more than 30 minutes to listen to and ask questions of their federal election candidates,” he said in a news release.

“I intend to be there, debating the current MP at every opportunity,” said Stetski in a news release.

“We are all asking the people of this area to choose us to be their representative. This is a job interview, so we all have to show up.”

He also called for each campaign to appoint a representative to a committee that would organize the eight proposed debates.

A campaign assistant for Liberal candidate Don Johnston said in an e-mail they would talk to the Stetski campaign about coordinating debates, though he didn’t go so far as to commit to attending eight debates.

MP David Wilks did not respond for comment on the challenge.

In the 2011 election campaign he failed to show up for four of seven debates, including the one in Revelstoke.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis.

Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

Greater Trail athletes go for gold at Pan Am Games photos courtesy of baseball Canada and Field Hockey Canada.

Fruitvale native Ella Matteucci and Rossland’s Thea Culley will represent Greater Trail and Canada at the Pan Am Games July 10-26.

Matteucci plays for the Team Canada women’s baseball team while Culley leads the national women’s Field Hockey team in to action in Toronto on Monday.

By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

Two Greater Trail athletes will look for a little home-grown magic as they go for gold when they join the largest Team Canada contingent in history at the 2015 Pan Am Games that kicks off today in Toronto.

Of the 720 athletes competing for Team Canada, field hockey veteran and Rossland native Thea Culley will play in her third consecutive Pan Am Games for the women’s national field hockey team, while Fruitvale’s Ella Matteucci will take to the baseball diamond for Team Canada women’s nine.

The Games, which run from July 10-26, will see over 7,600 athletes from 41 nations of the western hemisphere compete in 36 sports, with over 23,000 volunteers helping out at 32 venues across Toronto, Hamilton, Haliburton, York, Durham, Peel, Halton, Simcoe, Ajax, and Niagara.

“Playing at home in Toronto is going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Culley. “Some athletes will never get the experience of playing at a major games in front of a home crowd. I know that it is going to bring up a lot of extra emotion when we hear the anthem being played at the beginning of each game. I am also preparing myself for the electricity of the crowd as we march into the stadium at the opening ceremonies. It will be magical.”

In addition to owning homefield advantage, the Games hold even more significance for the two athletes. For the 21-yearold Matteucci, the Games are a first for her and Team Canada, as women’s baseball makes its historic debut in an international multi-sport setting like the Pan Ams. “This is our most exciting year, the first one,” said Matteucci.

“I’ve never been more excited especially because it’s a multisport event, and I get to share it with my parents, (Paul and Melissa). I wish (my brother) Eric could come but he’s working.”

For Culley, 29, and the Team Canada field hockey team, the Pan Am Games is the squad’s final chance to advance to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, something the women’s team hasn’t done since 1992.

But the number-23 ranked team in the world should have a good shot at it, if hard work and preparation are any indication. The team traveled to New Zealand for a three-week tour in January, then to Ireland, where they finished second in the World League 2 tournament in March.

They then hosted Ireland in a four-game series in Toronto at the end of May, before traveling to Spain in June for the World League Semifinal Olympic qualifying tournament where Team Canada missed an opportunity to qualify for Rio, finishing ninth.

“Spain was a tough competition,” said Culley. “The Hockey World League Semifinals is probably the most competitive event I have played in to date. The top nations were there and getting to play the likes of Argentina, China, Spain, and Great Britain in pool play was a challenge that will definitely serve us well at the Pan American Games.”

Culley, a 10-year veteran, gets set to play her 140th Cap (games played in international competition), while Matteucci is in her third year playing for Team Canada, and one of the youngest players on a team full of depth and experience.

“I see my role as a pitcher, I mean they do have me on the team as an outfielder but we have a lot of outfielders ahead of me, so mainly just pitching, a little

pinch hitting, probably pinch running,” said Matteucci. “I am happy with my role, and just really excited to be there.”

Matteucci helped Team Canada to a fourth place finish at the IBAF World Cup in Japan last year. The experience was a highlight for the recent Clarkson University graduate, but she almost missed her Pan Am Games opportunity when she suffered a separated left shoulder early at the May tryout camp in Toronto, and was uncertain of her status.

“I slide head first right, and I just went in and my one arm didn’t come with me and I dislocated my left catching shoulder,” said Matteucci. “I missed four days of tryouts, so I was just happy to be named to the team.”

Unlike field hockey, the Canadian women’s baseball team, ranked fourth in the world, hasn’t had the same opportunity to pre-

pare for the Games. While the Team is familiar with the number-2 ranked U.S., the other three teams in the Pan Am competition, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Cuba, (all ranked in the world’s Top 10), are relative unknowns to the Canadian team.

“We don’t know much about them, not like we do Team USA,” said Matteucci. “Those other three teams, they maybe not as strong, but we’re not 100 per cent sure, but I know our biggest competition will be the United States.

“I think we are a bit of a frontrunner, and hopefully the crowd will push us over that edge, and be able to take home the gold.

Obviously, that’s everyone’s goal and I think if we perform both defensively and offensively really well, we’ll be fine.”

Matteucci, a two-sport phenom, helped the Clarkson Knights to the NCAA hockey championship in 2014, while also carrying Team BC to a bronze medal at the National Women’s Baseball championship and helping the local Trail Pirates to an XBL title in the same year.

She has been living in Burlington, Ont. and working out with Team Ontario’s baseball squad since selection to Team Canada in May, and while she says she misses her home and playing with the Pirates, living out east gives her an opportunity to practice with many of the players on Team Canada in preparation for the Games.

“I think we’ll have a really strong roster, and we’re all excited to just get together for the next three weeks here and get some practice in together.”

While Matteucci’s star is on the rise, the veteran Culley is looking at what could be her last shot at making it to an Olympic Games. Regardless of the outcome, the RSS graduate has enjoyed a very exciting

and rewarding career, competing in two Commonwealth Games in 2010 and 2014, claiming a fourth-place finish at the 2011 Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, and winning bronze at the Pan Am Cup in Argentina in 2013.

“I think over the course of my 10 year career on the team, the thing that I will value most is learning to be a champion,” said Culley, who lives and trains in Vancouver. “To me, being a champion isn’t about winning or losing. It is the ability to get up one more time that you get knocked down, the ability to thrive in the face of adversity, and the understanding that a dream will remain a dream unless you take the action required to make it reality.

“These will be at the front of my mind as I compete at the Toronto 2015 Pan American Games, my final chance to qualify for Rio 2016.”

Their respective roads to gold begin this week with the opening ceremonies going at Rogers Centre today.

Culley and Team Canada’s women’s field hockey team see their first action against the Dominican Republic July 13, while Matteucci and the Canadian baseball women will play a series of exhibition games this week in Quebec and Ontario, before joining the Games for the second week. Team Canada women’s baseball team’s first game goes on July 20 against Cuba.

Go to www.toronto2015.org for more info on the Games.

Pan Am notes: In the 2011 Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Fruitvale native Chris Kissock helped Team Canada Men’s baseball team to a thrilling 2-1 gold medal victory over the United States, while stopping Cuba’s winning streak of 10 straight gold medals at the Games.

Don’t miss out on a ‘Trail to remember’

O

nly part way through it (I am a front to back kind of reader) but it seems John D’Arcangelo’s compilation of local memories, “A Trail to Remember,” is going to be a worthwhile read. Full disclosure - two bits of my memory/ research efforts are included, but there will be no material benefit for me no matter how many printings take place.

I haven’t even gotten to a sports item yet, which shows as well as anything that this area is a lot more than its storied athletic past. I had no hand in the production, but I hope enough copies were run so that every school and library in the area can have a couple of copies on hand. Were it up to me,

much more would be made at every level of education of the intricate and unusual, as well as the mundane, history of what is now called, “The Home of Champions.”

So far it seems to be “living,” memories, in that the recollections involved are from the minds of people still resident in the area, but the earlier history, with a little more work, can be accessed through the Trail Historical society. Kind

of too bad such a project wasn’t begun half a century ago, when most of the, “originals,” - first generations of long term community builders - were around to contribute.

Nonetheless, I believe it will be $20 well spent for anyone who becomes an owner/ reader of all that is included.

John and the historical society may be inclined to print more, what with the original press run already sold out, if the demand is there.

Probably too late, given most of their originals are long past, to reproduce such an effort for the smaller sub communities in the region, like Warfield, Rossland, Rivervale and Oasis, but I guarantee all of those places also have amazing back stories about which few know.

• This is an old complaint of mine, but the problem persists.

In spite of the fact that the internet has been around awhile and most people here - remember that because of the, “Hill,” this has always been a state of the art technology kind of place are more or less heavy adopters of modernity in communication, it can be really hard to find information about some activities in the area.

Notably in the list of those activities are some local minor sports schedules. Most of the participants in those activities are fully functional in the use of all that is new in digital technology, but some of the web sites pertaining to those activities seem to be run by people with little time for updating.

have seems not to have been updated in two years, and no link has been provided to a new site, or even the league in which the two local teams are involved.

The KIJHL site seems finally to have fixed the problem of, “No Games Scheduled,” and now acknowledges there are actually games being played in season, but that took a while.

Despite the fact, however, that I use my media platform to support all levels of baseball when I can, It is way too difficult to access information about some leagues without myriad phone calls and help from the Times’ staff.

I hate to believe that all the digitally literate young people who participate in minor sports simply refuse to use their skills to keep their on line information up to date on today’s most important data sharing location. But I don’t want to think, either, that

those in charge simply do not believe in the power of the technology involved.

Be nice to be more in the loop without burning gas and burning up telephone lines.

Fortunately, we enjoy our professions, but my husband will not be able to retire because his former wife receives alimony for the rest of her life.

He also suffers from treatment-related issues that undermine his health. Through all of this, he has been incredibly strong. He has fought bravely and with very little drama. He is my hero.

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, July 11, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Financial matters might not unfold the way you would wish today, so just be patient with whatever happens. You might feel cashstrapped, especially if you want to have fun.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Don’t expect too much from others today, because people’s social skills are off. Everyone feels a bit withdrawn and antisocial, including you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Give in to your impulse to be reclusive today. Find someplace pleasant where you can hide and just be by yourself. If someone ignores you, don’t take it personally.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a poor day to discuss financial matters, especially with female acquaintances. People are

Friday, July 10, 2015 Trail Times

not receptive; furthermore, they will be tightfisted.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is not the day to ask authority figures for help, approval or permission.

There is a negative vibe out there today; plus people are wrapped up in themselves.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Travel plans that were once exciting now appear to be beyond your reach. Don’t worry, this is a temporary setback. Keep your hopes up.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is not the day for important discussions about how to share or divide something, especially an inheritance or an important decision about shared property.

Postpone these discussions for another day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You have to compromise with others today and go more than halfway. And it

will be easy. It seems like everyone is in a funk.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Work on your own today, and don’t expect too much from others, especially coworkers. Relations with people from other countries and different backgrounds could be strained.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

You might be disappointed in your fair share

of something today. That’s because this is a poor day to decide how to share something. Children will be an increased responsibility.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Family discussions are depressing and limiting today, which probably will discourage you. But know this: This is just a temporary influence. Keep the faith.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Don’t let negative thinking get you down. It affects everyone today, so just face it with a smile and hope for the best. Attitude is everything. We are always creating our own world in our mind (“I’m pretty on another one”).

I miss you everyday.

I loved the twinkle in your eyes when you were feeling mischievous. I miss our day trips to the mountains or to a creek. Camping, huckleberry picking, picking mushrooms, etc.

Cranbrook won the best municipal float at the Calgary Stampede parade.

IT’S BACK!

20

Cranbrook made it’s mark in the greatest outdoor show on Earth over the weekend, winning the best municipal float in the Calgary Stampede parade last week.

The float was redesigned to fit a Sam Steele Sweethearts theme this year and built by local volunteers.

“This year, because we were changing floats for the 50 years of the youth ambassadors,

we had to change the whole design,” said Jim Wavrecan, a volunteer who helped build the float and drove it in the parade.

“So we had a group of volunteers came together and put in probably a couple hundred hours of volunteer time.

The City of Kimberley was also recognized with third place honours, behind Cranbrook and the City of Red Deer.

In front of hundreds of thousands of spectators along the parade route, Wavrecan drove

the float with Kelsey Ackert and Sarah Ferguson representing the Sam Steele Sweetheart and Princess.

“This was the first out-oftown parade for our new youth ambassadors and they were pretty thrilled at being out there,” Wavrecan said.

Float designs have to be submitted to the Stampede in February. The float was then built and went up against competition from all around B.C., Alberta, and Montana.
