The energy will be high this Saturday at Gyro Park where a spontaneous water fight is expected to make a splash.

A horn will sound at 2 p.m. to start WaterRama, a “flash mob” of super soakers, squirt toys, and water bazookas, explained event instigator Robert Baker, Trail Parks and Recreation deputy director.

Flash mobs allow both the participants and spectators to be part of the experience, so park dwellers beware: Saturday is a wet one.

“The old siren from the Cominco Arena will be on-site to sound the start, and the park will erupt into a fountain of water with screams of laughter and the hustle of feet as everyone tries to dodge each other and soak their friends,” explains Baker.

“There will be four refill stations available near the concession building, but it will be a busy event so show up early and don't stop 'till the river runs dry!”

The free event is part of many Trail Parks came up with while brainstorming inclusive and experimental gatherings that can later be handed off to residents willing to coordinate an annual experience.

The Trail water fight started early for Rossland's Dreaden Cox, 6, and his sister three-year-old Stevie Cox, who managed to trap their friend between streams at Gyro's spray park Thursday.

Luckily, five-year-old Kyler Aaltomaa had his trusty Captain America shield to protect him.

Locals take extra steps to reduce carbon footprint a number of years ago. First, they had geothermal energy installed in their home even though it had a long pay back period, she explained.

Changes to the billing plan discourages use of the system today, but she and husband Dave Cornelius remain eco-driven with their choice of vehicle.

Cornelius is passionate about driving green in his grey sedan. He arrived back in town last week after a three-month road trip across the States in his Tesla Model S. The unit is called an 85D, he explained. “(The) 85 stands for the capacity of the battery in kilowatt hours and “D” stands for dual motor

Province gears up for tighter climate change guidelines, asks for public input

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Driving electric cars, using heat from the earth, rays from the sun or living off grid entirely – there's no question many locals are consciously lessening their carbon footprint on the planet.

for all wheel drive.”

The car goes about 400 kilometres on a full charge, Cornelius noted, giving the example of a common Kootenay to Okanagan trip.

“We have driven to Kelowna where we charged it up and then drove back to Rossland,” he said, mentioning road trip planning for an electric car requires more forethought than gas-driven vehicles.

Everyday in small and big ways, these actions acknowledge climate change, also known as global warming, by showing commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).

Now the province wants to hear

from the Lower Columbia and people across B.C. about what should top the to-do list in its renewed Climate Leadership Plan.

A public consultation period began last week with the release of an online discussion paper and survey at engage.gov.bc.ca/climateleadership.

Respondents are questioned about options of reducing GHG and priorities that influence everyday life, such as changes to public transportation and the way goods and services are transported, or tightening “green” regulations at home and work.

Dave Cornelius was at the charging station in Rossland last week after arriving back in town from an extended road trip. The Rossland man drove across the United States and back to the Golden City in his fully electric Tesla Model S that features onboard information on energy usage. That means no gas or emissions, ever, from the vehicle with licence plate NO ICE, meaning “no internal combustion engine.”

Salmo couple enjoys living off the grid FROM PAGE 1 The survey is open until Aug. 17, and, according to Mary Polak, Minister of Environment, the plan will influence work, travel and life for decades to come, so it’s important for as many people as possible to take part.

“The climate challenges that lie ahead are significant,” said Polak in a July 24 news release. “But so are the rewards if we act on them now. Together we can do this – we can fight climate change, protect the planet and improve our quality of life.”

From car to home, there’s one couple living near Salmo that for 12 years, has taken living green a step further than

most.

Shelly Grice Gold and her partner built a simple home that is heated by wood in winter. That’s it – no electricity or running water, by choice.

“I don’t think about it too much because it’s just something we do,” she explained. “I don’t feel I am missing out.

It didn’t make sense to me to have bills for my home first of all, and I don’t agree with the big hydro dams they are building,” she added. “I thought I would speak with my money and my actions because I am only responsible for myself, and I didn’t want electricity in my home.”

For a decade, the pair gathered water from a stream running through their

land and wheelbarrowed it back home.

Now, they fill up in the village because creek levels have been too low. But showers are still heated by solar as are Grice Gold’s meals in the summer months, when her solar oven heats up to 350 degrees in 10 or so minutes on a sunny day.

“I don’t feel like I am missing out,” she said. “People always go camping to get away from it all, so I get away from it all everyday.”

On Tuesday, the ministry extended the window for written submissions to Sept. 14 after several groups requested more time to prepare extensive submissions.

New cable ferries coming for Harrop and Glade by 2018

REgional

Lots of loving for Link at B.V. Library

The Nelson Star New cable ferries across the Kootenay River at Harrop and Glade are expected to be in service by the end of 2018. The Ministry of Transportation has issued a request for quotes from potential bidders.

“The replacement ferries for will be able to take more vehicles than the existing ferries, with capacity increased to handle commercial vehicles at full highway loads,” the ministry said.

Presently the Glade ferry has a capacity of eight vehicles but the new one would handle nine. The Harrop ferry currently handles 18 vehicles but the new vessel will be able to carry 24. Both ferries take about five minutes to cross.

The Harrop ferry operates on demand 24 hours a day while the Glade ferry only takes a break between 2:20 and 5 a.m.

Both are operated by Western Pacific Marine under government contracts.

Work on the first new vessel is expected to begin next year, with all four scheduled to be in service by the end of 2018.

The total cost of all four ferries will be announced once a final proponent is chosen and the formal procurement process is completed, the ministry said.

Opportunity to bring ‘old-fashioned’ fun back to the park

FROM PAGE 1 Last month, the Kootenays’ Largest Slip ‘N Slide took place at Centennial Park in Glenmerry.

The community embraced the over 3,000-squarefoot plastic slide, which allowed for multiple riders at a time, reaching speeds in excess of 50-feet-per-second.

Parks and Recreation Director Trisha Davidson has relived her slide down the slide with staff by watching a video of the event captured by Shaw TV on YouTube.

“It was fantastic,” she recalled.

The goal was to piggy back the events. The “good old-fashioned” fun rolled out then and was expected to entice and attract residents to Kootenay’s largest water fight.

“There is so much involvement by third-party individuals, it’s not just our department, that they kind of have taken a life of their own via social media and word of mouth,” she said. “I would say this will be a wait-and-see if this is the one that leads up to another or if there will be just a continuation of enjoying park space with the utilization of water during a very hot summer.”

The Facebook event asks participants to be responsible by “not bringing any other weapons apart from things that shoot water” and to avoid water balloons as they are messy and can be easily left behind as litter. The code of conduct also recommends that participants dress for the wet occasion.

Beyond that, the event is coined as spontaneous and the hope is some amazing moments will be shared as a community.

Grand Forks

RDKB purchases historic Doukhobor site

By Della Mallette Grand Forks Gazette

The Hardy Mountain Doukhobor Village Historic Site is now in the hands of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB).

At its monthly meeting last week in Grand Forks, the RDKB board agreed to buy the site’s building and lands from the Land Conservancy (TLC), via the transfer of the property’s title and assumption of the mortgage of approximately $37,892.50 (depending on closing date).

The Land Conservancy approached the RDKB about buying the site, explained Area D/Rural Grand Forks director Roly Russell.

“They were coming to us because they had a property that had specific restrictions on it for its use and they thought they would come to us first,” he said, adding that from his perspective, it’s a fairly low-risk opportunity.

Given The Land Conservancy’s fil-

ing for bankruptcy and a “Plan of Compromise and Arrangement” with the Supreme Court, the decision to purchase the property was deemed urgent.

“We’re now at the point where we can get into the planning of how we are going to move forward with the property; we do not have any concrete plans at this point,” Russell said.

The ideal scenario would be to establish partnerships with any groups interested in the site.

“That’s a big conversation that we have yet to get to,” the director added.

Possible uses of the buildings and lands include educational, historical, cultural and tourist purposes.

Costs for the proposal will be covered with Area D gas tax funds.

The Hardy Mountain Doukhobor Historic Village Site is a 16.9 acre property containing what remains of the historic Makortoff Doukhobor Village and overlooks the Kettle River

and Granby River valleys. It’s located in Area D one kilometre west of the city and is within the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The village was acquired by TLC from the previous owner who operated the heritage building as a museum and tourist attraction.

The property is significant culturally as it represents the only remaining Doukhobor “great house” in B.C. on its original site and has been designed as a heritage service by the RDKB as well as a historic site by the National Trust for Canada.

The site is largely intact and the communal house is still in an exceptionally good state of repair. This acreage was also the site of many other village buildings, of which five are still standing.

They too are full of historic implements and tools that were used by the Doukhobor pioneers to farm the land.

Change of focus for Kootenay Robusters dragon boat team Submitted This season, the Kootenay Robusters decided to try a different strategy for their paddling season - one that should be especially helpful to new recruits, and enjoyable for experienced team members as well.

Two early season festivals were planned, the first in Lethbridge at the end of June and the second at the end of July in Harrison Hot Springs. Because there were so many new paddlers, it was decided to focus on the fun aspect of festival participation, since there wasn’t time to get everyone trained well enough to be truly competitive. This goal was well accomplished in Harrison as the team took over several units in a nearby condo and planned social activities that emphasized team building and

setting good paddling goals for the future.

Now that they no longer have to face the pressure of festival preparation the Robusters are working on refining skills, improving technique and enjoying each others’ company.

Working under the guidance of coach Trish Ostlund (a former member of the world champion False Creek Women’s Dragon Boat Team) Robusters have various paddling options for the rest of the summer. When there are enough women available, the dragon boat will be used, but if fewer members sign up for a practice, the team is also able to use an outrigger canoe that seats six.

In previous years, new paddlers were discouraged from joining the team in August because festi-

The Kootenay Robusters dragon boat team put on their race faces before heading down to the docks for competition at the Harrison Hot Springs Dragon Boat Festival. Charter member, Peggy Phillips (age 83) shows her seat mate Wendy Linnington, a new paddler, how to stay focussed and prepare for the race ahead, while the rest of the team lines up behind them. val preparation meant that they wouldn’t have time to get in shape and learn the complicated dragon boat stroke. This year, however, is the perfect time to join the team if you have always wanted to give dragon boating a try. If it turns out to be a sport

you would like to delve into more deeply, you would be well on your way by the time the boat is launched for the 2016 season.

Our steersperson, Trudi Toews, was recently asked what it takes to be a Robuster and summed the requirements up with

the comment, “Fifty bucks.”

What she meant was that the team values inclusiveness so much that anyone who is interested is welcome to join.

The cost is kept low, and all the equipment provided. We carpool to practices and often

find that provides as much fun as the paddling.

While some team members have physical problems and many of us are in our senior years we would like everyone to know that the benefits of becoming a Robuster easily outweigh the challen-

ges.

Jon Stewart wraps up long run as ‘The Daily Show’ host THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Jon Stewart said goodbye on Thursday, after 16 years on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” that established him as America’s foremost satirist of politicians and the media.

Stewart, 52, announced last winter that he was getting restless and it was time to move on. Trevor Noah replaces him as host next month.

Armed with a razor-sharp wit and research team adept at finding video evidence of hypocrisy or unintentional comedy among the nation’s establishment, Stewart turned a sleepy basic-cable entertainment show into a powerful cultural platform.

He turned the spotlight on himself during his penultimate show Wednesday, noting how institutions he had

supposedly eviscerated were stronger than ever.

“The world is demonstrably worse than when I started,” Stewart wailed.

“Have I caused this?”

His only solace was that his beloved New York Mets were in first place on the day of his last show.

Fellow comic Louis C.K., his guest Wednesday, noted that Stewart was able to keep his show fresh and funny for a long time, keeping up with the world’s changes. “It really is one of the great comedy accomplishments of all time,” he said.

A line of people hoping to get in to the taping gathered outside of the Comedy Central studio on Manhattan’s far West Side. First in line was Chad Lance, a 27-year-old musician from Philadelphia who said he arrived at 2:30

a.m., who said he couldn’t wait to see what happened.

“No one knows who’s going to come, no one knows what’s going to happen,” he said. “I think this is going to be one of the most exciting TV tapings ever.”

Tw e n t y - o n e - y e a r- o l d Jessica Vitovitch was anxiously waiting to see if she’d get a seat.

“I think Stewart has contributed so much to the political consciousness, especially ... my generation,” she said.

“For this to be his finale, it’s a huge cultural moment.”

Stewart’s fans will be forced to navigate the first presidential election since 1996 without his commentary, a loss that felt particularly acute with the first Republican candidates’ debate taking place less than three hours after the taping

of his final show. “The Daily Show” airs at 11 p.m. EDT. It’s the third major farewell for a late-night television personality in eight months. Stewart’s Comedy Central colleague, Stephen Colbert, ended “The Colbert Report” in December. David Letterman signed off from CBS in May, to be replaced this fall by Colbert.

Comedy Central put out the word that Stewart’s final show will run longer than the typical half hour, so people recording it on their DVRs won’t be unpleasantly surprised.

Fox News Channel chairman Roger Ailes, whose network remained intact despite Stewart’s “pulverizing” blows, said that Stewart was a brilliant comedian and nice guy who has a bitter view of the world.

Provincial Money to prevent health-care assaults

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A string of assaults against health care workers has prompted the B.C. Nurses’ Union and the provincial government to invest $2 million in violence prevention at four high-risk hospitals.

Health Minister Terry Lake and union president Gayle Duteil announced Thursday that the province and union will each contribute $1 million, after months of working together on a plan to tackle the chronic issue.

The four sites to receive funding are the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Port Coquitlam, Hillside Centre in Kamloops, Seven Oaks Tertiary Mental Health in Victoria and Abbotsford Regional Hospital.

Depending on the site, upgrades over the next few months may include new distress button and communication systems, increasing staffing levels and improving mental-health education and training.

Duteil says 12 priority sites have been chosen and she hopes to move quickly to improve conditions at eight other hospitals, but no timeline has been provided.

She says a nurse who was seriously assaulted at Hillside Centre in April has returned to work, but a nurse who was badly beaten in Abbotsford Regional Hospital in March is still recovering.

Race against tide and time averts major spill THE CANADIAN PRESS CAMPBELL RIVER, Canada - Coast guard officials and the crew of a tug had to work fast to prevent what could have been a major spill off the northeast coast of Vancouver Island.

A barge loaded with 60,000 litres of diesel and gasoline hit rocks Wednesday afternoon and began taking on water in Surge Narrows near Campbell River.

Coast guard spokesman Dan Bate said a lifeboat raced to the scene to help the tug crew refloat the barge.

The situation was especially dire because Surge Narrows, about 35 kilometres from Campbell River, is known for its treacherous tidal flows, with currents running up to 16 knots.

Water was pumped out of the barge, and it was refloated and towed off the rocks before being moved to port for repairs and removing the fuel tanks.

Inventory down but sales and prices jump again for Vancouver homes THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - There appears to be no ceiling for the cost of homes in the Vancouver area, as more properties keep selling for higher prices.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver released statistics Wednesday showing July sales of homes jumped 30 per cent compared to the same time last year. The average price for a residential property in the board’s 16 cities, districts or municipalities was $700,500, an 11.2 per cent increase from 2014.

While the demand is high, there are fewer homes on the market, and board president Darcy McLeod said that can lead to multiple offers on homes in desirable areas.

In such cases, he said agents often have a day or two to do their due diligence.

Okanagan climbs to Level 4 drought rating The Penticton Western News The Okanagan region is now under a Level 4 drought rating and angling on Okanagan River is suspended.

The angling suspension is on the main-stem portion of the river only between Okanagan Lake and Osoyoos Lake due to warming water temperatures.

The suspension is effective starting Aug. 6 until Sept 30. The closure is put in place to protect fish stocks

due to high water temperatures.

Lake fishing is not affected by the order and other at-risk streams in the affected area are already closed to fishing.

All water users, including those with access groundwater, are being urged by the province to maximize their water conservation efforts.

Regional water managers may take additional regulatory actions if they are deemed necessary including the suspension of water licensces

or short-term water approvals in affected water sheds.

Water users are being reminded to ensure that water intake3s are screened to prevent fish from being pulled into systems as water levels drop.

Low water levels can impede the passage of salmon to spawning grounds, increase susceptibility to disease or causing stranding or death due to low oxygen and high water temperatures.

Level 4 drought

conditions mean the area is extremely dry.

Declines in stream, lake and aquifer levels could possibly lead to water shortages and affect industries like agriculture, wildlife

and fish stocks.

The Okanagan joins the South Thompson, Similkameen, Kettle and Skagit areas which were raised to Level 4 rating on July 27.

rate, and most importantly, high consumer confidence, he said.

“Although we hear stories that it might be an overinflated market, consumers don’t seem to think that.

They’re speaking with their chequebook, so to speak, and stepping up and purchasing homes.”

He doesn’t see a cooling trend soon in a market that is driven by world factors, noting the region is attractive to people moving from other parts of the globe.

“Greater Vancouver continues to be - in terms of a global perspective - an affordable place to live. We think it’s very expensive but if you look at the overall housing stock, not everybody is living in a milliondollar detached house,” McLeod said.

“Will the prices fall significantly any time in the near future? I doubt it.”

Recreation agreement good news for Montrose

W

e have a Recreation agreement!

Montrose Council is very happy with the deal made, and I would like to congratulate all who worked hard to reach this deal. This announcement will mean a lot to families in the Beaver Valley. The deal reached is for one year and starts September 1, 2015. Council hopes residents will enjoy using the facilities to their full capacity.

Work is continuing on the community gardens.

MYATS was successful in receiving a grant, and the garden is taking shape.

Fencing will be going in soon and we are always looking for some volunteers with green thumbs.

If you have a bit of time and a passion for gardening please call the village office and you will receive a call back.

As always residents are

reminded to please keep their dogs on a leash in the village, this protects both your dog and other residents from an unfortunate accident.

A big thank you to the contentious pet owners in the village for picking up after their pets Residents are reminded that with the hot weather and an aggressive fire season we need to all make sure we are following the water restrictions; this ensures the water level in the tanks it is at the optimum level for any situation.

A forest fire has the potential to spread fast, and the first 10 meters around your home are important.

Making sure that that area is clear of combustible materials will help ensure your home is able to survive a fire emergency. We all need to make sure we are doing all we can to ensure our

Community Comment homes are as fire smart as they can be.

We have reading material in the village office that can help homeowners. A reminder that fire bans are in place, these bans protect you and your family along with your neighbours.

There have been numerous bear sighting s in the Village.

Please keep your garbage secured until garbage day, and do not put your garbage out early.

Once the bears find a food source they will continue

to return.

Fruit is a big attractant for bears in the fall, as the fruit ripens and starts to drop the bears with their keen sense of smell will be dropping by. If you can’t use or pick all of the fruit there are options.

There are several Facebook sites where you can post, and people will come and pick the fruit.

We had this problem last year with plumbs and the young family that wanted them came and picked the tree clean.

They were respectful of the yard and the tree, it was a great experience.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that as the daylight leaves earlier, children are still out and playing.

When they are playing with friends they sometimes forget to check both ways.

The speed limit through the Village of Montrose is

50 km/h, and there are 4 crosswalks through the village. School will be going back in a few short weeks.

If we all pay careful attention residents who enjoy walking and riding in the village will be safe.

At last night’s council meeting we once again accepted the “Coins for Change,” on September 18, 2015 several members of council will be under the Victoria Street Bridge.

Cindy Cook is a councillor for the Village of Montrose 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.

The Harper Conservatives have bet the house on the oil sands and Canada as an energy super power. Oil prices are not expected to recover any time soon, the Canadian dollar is falling and the promised budgetary surpluses will likely vanish as the economic news gets progressively worse.

Canada’s Middle East war suffers from a similar false logic.

Yes, we’ve joined the coalition fighting ISIS, but didn’t that same coalition create this violent mess in the first place? U.S. President George Bush’s disastrous invasion of Iraq in 2003 set in motion a series of events that have blown the region sky high.

In other words, our present war effort may be doing more harm than good in a region with so many ancient (irrational) animosities.

But more importantly, the politics of fear are embarrassing – beneath the dignity of Canadians. Canadians are proud of their country. We’re the product of immigrant families who came to the New World to build a better life for themselves and their children.

Progress is hardwired into our DNA. It needs only a credible articulation of that better future for Canadians to leap onto a positive political bandwagon.

This election – more than any previous one – will be a turning point. Will it be Harper’s old petro-state status quo? Or will some spark of poetic heroism emerge from Thomas Mulcair or Justin Trudeau to lift Canada and this campaign out of the mud?

The prime minister maintains this election is about leadership. “This is an election about leadership on the big issues that affect all Canadians: the economy and our country’s security,” Throughout his speech, Harper returned to the theme that now is not the time for change. He painted alternatives to the status quo as dangerous, questionable policies that have “failed before and (are) failing in other countries.”

So, now we know. Harper is playing the fear card.

Fear works because it appeals to the (near) universal sense of vulnerMedia ability we all feel in times of stress, and it’s an attractive option for Harper in that it distracts the public from the domestic sources of our present predicament. The big question is, will it work?

While it is true that fear is a proven tactic, it’s also a double-edged sword.

Fear plays on the possibility of loss, its internal logic supporting a better the devil you know outcome. But the messaging of fear is negative and – by definition – discounts vision and the possibility of a better future.

Critically, the politics of fear depend upon the public believing that the status quo is a safe place to be. Regrettably for the Conservatives, it’s not.

It has not been lost on the public that until very recently the Harper Conservatives were boasting about their prudent management of the Canadian economy and their ability to balance the books.

It’s a different story now.

Stephen Harper’s visit with Governor General David Johnston on Sunday dissolved the present Parliament, officially launching Canada’s 42nd federal election.

This will be no electoral sprint; at 11 weeks, this is a marathon with time for several momentum changes – so campaign pacing will be critically important.

The Conservative Party message is simple. “The world is a dangerous place.”

Solid, dependable Stephen Harper and his government are best placed to protect Canadians from harm.

In his speech the prime minisTroy ter defined the issues. “It’s an election about who will protect our economy in a period of ongoing global instability and secure Canada’s future prosperity and it’s about who is best equipped to make the tough calls to keep our country safe. ” And what are the dangers facing our great nation?

Clearly there are real dangers to our economy.

However, in Harper’s World, the threats are all ‘out there’: global oil prices are to blame, or the debt crisis in Greece is destabilizing markets. It’s not his government’s fault we’re in recession, China’s economy is slowing or the U.S. economy is growing more slowly than expected.

But we have more to fear than the economy. There are boogiemen behind every rock.

Trail & District Churches The desert is not so frightening It has been a hot summer. It has been a summer in which conversations include wonderings about drought conditions. It has been a summer in which Metro Vancouver has implemented Stage III water restrictions and there have been some communities on Vancouver Island which have implemented Stage IV water restrictions.

with God. In the desert one was free from distractions and entanglements of all kind.

But it wasn’t easy. In the desert, inner struggle was intensified and the desire for food was a torment. Yet out of the desert came new forms of community life that we know as monasticism which is devoted to the service of God and to humanity.

Inevitably the weather conditions of this summer will cause conversations to happen about global warming and climate change.

Those are important discussions to have.

We don’t need to run off to the local monastery or to the desert to renew our commitment to serving God and humanity. But we need to re-examine periodically our commitment to God and to others. That commitment is lived out by gathering regularly with others to worship God. It is lived out by being part of organizations devoted to the service of others and by providing them with financial support, as we are able. Now that a federal election has been called one can engage in service of others by asking how the policy proposals of the various candidates will be of benefit to others and by voting accordingly.

I suspect that one of the implications of an extended drought will be the creation of new deserts. Normally deserts are something of which we are frightened and for good reason.

There is the absence of protection from the sun, there is a lack of water and sometimes there are creepy crawly things that could attack and possible kill us.

In the Christian tradition, the desert is not quite so frightening a place. Borrowing from our Jewish ancestors and the story of the Wanderings of Israel from the departure from Egypt to the arrival in the Promised Land; the desert was seen as a place of encounter

Pope calls for a church of ‘open doors’ that welcomes divorced Catholics The Canadian Press NEW YORK — Pope Francis’ call Wednesday for a church of “open doors” that welcomes divorced Catholics prompted speculation over whether he was signaling support for easing the ban on Communion for couples who remarry without a church annulment.

The issue is at the centre of an extraordinarily public debate among cardinals from around the world who will gather this October at the Vatican for a synod, or meeting, on the family, where treatment of such couples will be a key topic.

“He wants the church to get over a psychology that if you’re divorced and remarried that you’re a lesser Catholic,” said Phillip Thompson, executive director of the Aquinas Center of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta. “But it doesn’t address the real issue of what is the path forward for Catholics who want to enter into full communion with the church.”

Under Catholic teaching, unless a marriage is annulled, or declared null and void by a church tribunal, those who remarry cannot receive Communion or other sacraments because they are essentially living in sin and committing adultery. Such annulments can take years to process — if they are granted at all — a problem that has left generations of Catholics feeling shunned by their church.

Catholics who divorce after a church marriage, but don’t remarry can receive Communion.

The pope, speaking at his weekly general audience at the Vatican, underscored Catholic teaching on divorced Catholics who remarry without an annulment, saying, “the church knows well that such a situation contradicts the Christian sacrament.” But he emphasized, “these people are not at all excommunicated.”

“They always belong to the church,” Francis said. The church, he said, must be one of “open doors.”

Francis praised pastors who have shown “a fraternal and attentive acceptance” for such couples.

Children especially will be damaged if they see their parents kept at a distance from the church, he said.

“They are the ones who suffer the most in these situations,” the pope said. “How will we be able to recommend to these parents to do their utmost to educate their children in the Christian life, giving them the example of a convinced and practiced faith, if we hold them at a distance from the life of the community, as if they were excommunicated?”

The question of how to translate that compassion into a real world policy has split the cardinals and others in the church. One faction has argued for creating a process by which such Catholics can formally repent of their actions so they can be once again allowed to receive Communion.

Opponents see a danger to this approach and warn it will undermine church teaching overall on marriage.

James Hitchcock, author of “Catholicism and Modernity: Confrontation or Capitulation?” and an opponent of any change in church practice on the issue, said Francis’ comments Wednesday indicate “he kind of leans in the direction of ‘Let’s loosen our discipline on this.’”

“He is not a systematic thinker. I don’t think he sits down and works this all out. I think he follows his heart. I think he says things in a way he thinks will be inspirational or helpful and then we can work that all out later,” Hitchcock said.

Dennis Doyle, a theologian at the University of Dayton, a Marianist school in Ohio, said it’s not possible to conclude from the pope’s remarks whether any change will emerge from the October assembly.

Interior Health seeking options for future rural lab services Candidates spar over debate format

By Jessica Schwitek Golden Star

By Trevor Crawley Cranbrook Townsman

David Wilks, the Kootenay-Columbia MP running for reelection, has proposed a new debate format after rejecting a format that was proposed by other political party candidates.

Wilks is inviting other candidates to participate in formal 90-minute debates that are organized by Chambers of Commerce in communities across the riding.

“To facilitate understanding and comparison of the differences between parties, structure and orderly format for candidate dialogue is of paramount importance,” read a written statement from the Re-elect David Wilks MP Committee.

Wilks’ proposal would have ‘non-partisan’ Chambers collect concerns and questions directly from citizens before the debates to create “efficiency and reduce duplication.”

The Wilks camp is proposing the debates to occur between Sept. 21 and Oct. 2.

The announcement from Wilks comes after spurning an All-Candidates debate schedule proposed by New Democrat Party candidate Wayne Stetski a few weeks ago.

Stetski’s debate proposal included forming a committee comprising of one representative of each candidate to work directly with debate organizers to set a schedule for eight forums across the riding.

Under Wilks’ proposal, the consolidation of questions from voters and assembling questions by topic “would allow maximum time for the four candidates to engage in debate.”

Stetski challenged that notion.

“Mr. Wilks says that Chambers of Commerce are the only organizations that can be considered ‘non-partisan. Mr. Wilks goes on to say that all questions must be gathered and vetted first. I don’t believe this is acceptable for an incumbent who wants his job back,” said Stetski.

“These numbers are not just in Golden, but are typical throughout the region,” said Woods.

The engagement process for the study will begin in the fall.

“We’re going to look at each hospital

and decide the best option. For Golden that may mean some changes, but it may not. We may look at Golden and decide that nothing should change,” said Woods.

“There won’t be any cookie-cutter solutions that will be

imposed on every community.”

One possibility they will be looking into is centralizing the lab testing to Kelowna, where they can keep it fully staffed and operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Former Trail tennis whiz helps Canada to semifinals

A surprising hire for Hawks

By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks pulled off a stunning move on Wednesday, naming former Trail Smoke Eater Head Coach and GM, Bill Birks, as the Hawks’ new assistant coach.

“Terry phoned me last week and we had a good talk,” said Birks. “He gave me a few days to think about it . . . we sat down, I met with him last night and done deal.”

Birks replaces former assistant Jim Ingram, whom, coincidentally, Birks also replaced as head coach of the Smoke Eaters in March of 2011, when Ingram took a head coaching position with the Cowichan Valley Capitals.

Ingram stepped down from his Hawks’ assistant role following the 2014-15 season due to family commitments, leaving the door open for Birks.

“He (Birks) is someone different, and he has a new, fresh approach to what we have going,” said Nitehawks coach Terry Jones. “(When Ingram stepped down) We talked about it and let it purcolate.”

Following conversations with family, Nitehawks staff, and, in particular, assistant coach Kevin Limbert, Birks soon became the viable candidate.

“All the conversations we had was, ‘Who is the best fit to help us win a championship?’” said Jones. “‘Who is the best fit to make our players the best possible?’ At the end of the day, we want to win, and we want to win bad, and getting Bill on board is perfect.”

In the past, the two coach-

es have had their differences, which reached its boiling point in January of 2013. After a heated meeting between Jones and Birks, the Smokies coach, regarding a player’s release, Jones and a few Nitehawks’ players blocked the Smoke Eater’s bus as it attempted to leave on a road trip. Jones received a three-game suspension from the KIJHL for the protest, and the incident soured an already tense relationship between the two coaches and teams.

“The past is the past,” said Birks. “It was all hockey oriented, you get caught up in it a little bit sometimes. He (Jones) runs a great program, he has for years. He asked me to come on board and help him out, I was pretty excited about it.”

Birks coached the Smoke Eaters from 2011-2013, was assistant coach to Ingram in 2010-11, and assistant with the Merritt Centennials from 200709. An intense competitor, Birks’ coaching style and manof-few-words demeanor, may contrast slightly with Jones’ more outgoing and educational approach, but his love of the game and knowledge as a coach will certainly compliment an already strong Nitehawks culture on and off the ice.

“We’re both kind of the same people, I think, in a way, we have the same sense of battling, and now we’re all on the same boat, I think it will be good,” said Birks.

Birks will handle defensive duties and the power-play, while Limbert returns for his third year as the offensive assistant coach.

The move to hire the

Sicamous native is a bit of a departure for the Nitehawks who have built a tradition of former players, like Darcy Dickson, Kris Boyce, and Jamie and Jeremy Comminotto, filling the assistant roles.

“It’s fresh blood right, it’s a new approach, new ideas,” said Limbert. “Everyone that has been through the door for the past 10 years has been a former player, we know what the culture is around here, so you come in almost preconditioned in a sense . . . Bill comes in completely fresh, and will be a real good complement to what we currently have.”

The Nitehawks will hit the ice Aug. 28-30 for their Fall Camp, with the exhibition season starting Sept. 1, and the 2015-16 season opening on Sept. 11. B.V. opens the season in Spokane against the Braves, and their first home game goes the next night against Kelowna in the Hawks Nest.

The Hawks are hoping a fresh set of eyes will help the team reclaim the Kootenay Conference title after falling to Kimberley Dynamiters in five games in last year’s Conference final.

“I’m just going to be another guy to bounce stuff off, I’m going to learn a lot too, and vice versa,” added Birks. “Just to be back in the game and be around the kids is a pretty good feeling, when you can teach kids and see them move on, its a good feeling.”

And perhaps more important for the 48-year-old Trail resident: “To stay at home and not move my family again is perfect.”

By Times Staff Former Trail resident Luka Vukovic, 14, helped Canada’s Junior Tennis team to the semifinals at the World ITF Junior World tennis championship in Prostejov, Czech Republic.

The Canadian team won three straight matches over France, 2-1, China 3-0, and Brazil, 2-1, to reach the semifinal where they fell to Korea on Thursday 3-0.

Minjong Park claimed the opening rubber, defeating Canada’s Alex-Antoine Marquis 6-1 and 6-4 and then sealed its place in the final when No. 1 Seonyong Han defeated Canada’s No. 1 ranked Vukovic 6-1 and 6-4.

The doubles saw Han and Joonhee Yoon

take on Marquis and Nick Lagaev, and the scoreline reflected the two singles matches, with Korea producing an impressive performance for a 6-3 and 6-1 win and a 3-0 scoreline in the tie.

In the quarter final against Brazil, Vukovic stormed back from an opening-set 7-5 setback against Joao Lopes Ferreira to win 5-7, 6-2, and 6-1 and send the tie into a deciding doubles rubber.

Vukovic teamed up with Marquis for the doubles rubber as the pair faced Mateus Pucinelli Almeida and Mateus Alves. There was nothing to separate the teams in the opening set which went to a tiebreak, and the Canadians won it 7-2.

After that, there was no stopping them and they raced through the second set, taking it 6-1, and booking their place in the semifinals against Korea.

Spain defeated the U.S. to advance to Friday’s final against Korea. Canada will play the U.S. for bronze.

Vukovic helped Canada qualify for the junior worlds in second place behind the United States following a three-set victory over American Adam Neff in a singles match at the North-Central and Caribbean qualifying tournament in Boca Raton, Florida in May. Vukovic lives in Burnaby and trains at the Elite Tennis Academy in Richmond under high performance coach Vadim Korkh.

CHS picks up the pace

By Jim Bailey

Tmes Sports Editor

Champions Hockey School (CHS) is ready to hit the Cominco Arena ice on Sunday for an intense and fun week of on-and-off-ice training.

CHS is privileged again to have top-notch instructors Connor and Kellen Jones from the American Hockey League’s Oklahoma City Barons leading the way. Along with the the Jones twins, the ECHL’s Sahir Gill, and Quinnipiac University Bobcats assistant coach Reid Cashman return to lend their expertise.

“He (Cashman) is a big plus because, to be honest, I think that is why the junior thing is so popular,” said CHS instructor and B.V. Nitehawks coach Terry Jones.

“Everyone wants to be there so they can have Reid assess them and see what they’re made of.”

The CHS added an extra week to accommodate all players in the age 15 and up Junior/College Prep camp that is made up of Midget, Junior, and college players preparing for the upcoming season.

“We have like 60 junior guys that wanted to skate, so we had to put an extra week in,” said Jones.

“I also think everyone wants to be out there with the good players.”

The Junior group’s scrimmage has grown in intensity and entertainment value over the years, and this year the camp will again see local products assist the instructors and skate in the camp’s daily

scrimmages. Joining the Camp will be Quinnipiac’s Travis St. Denis, Nitehawks assistant coach Kevin Limbert, Edmonton Oil Kings Craig Bertolucci, and former Smoke Eaters Craig Martin, Dallas Calvin, and Jake Lucchini.

“Each year the pace has increased,” said Limbert, a Yale Bulldog alumnus. “It was good six, seven years ago when I was still playing, but every year it’s just gotten better and better . . . the pace is incredible out there.”

Five groups will take to the ice, including young initiates in the age 5-7 group, age 8-10 Avalanche, 11-12 Bruins, 13-14 Bantam Prep. and the Junior Prep/College camp.

The younger players will go through an educational on-ice session, followed by a fun game of floor hockey, video instruction, and dryland training, while the Bantam and Junior Prep will feature off-ice training, video, a practice and highlighted by the end of the day scrimmage.

The camp also welcomes the return of Alex Evin who will run the goalie session. After winning a BC Inter-collegiate Hockey championship with the Selkirk College Saints in 2015, Evin was named assistant coach and goalie instructor for the Alberni Valley Bulldogs of the BCHL this summer.

The public is also welcome to attend. The Bantam scrimmage hits the ice from 5:15-6:30 p.m. and the Junior-College Prep 3-on3 scrimmage goes from 9-10 p.m.

Little used recreation venues Canada Rugby snubs top player abound in West Kootenay

D

riving around the area recently makes me both proud and a bit sad.

I often tell people of, and exhort local promoters of the area to extoll, the myriad of quite wonderful recreation facilities in this region. It should be a major selling point for the area that there are ample and excellent venues for virtually every kind of recreation close at hand.

Within an hour’s reasonable driving from anywhere in the Trail-CastlegarNelson-SalmoFruitvale-Rossland loop there are: two world class ski hills, that are generally not overcrowded; three very nice aquatic centers that most, especially large urban areas, would consider affordable, and some outside pools as well; many fairly or truly pristine lakes and many small and one giant rivers; at least eight, again fairly affordable, hockey/skating rinks and almost as many curling rinks.

Basketball courts, squash, racquetball, tennis and pickleball courts; ball, soccer, rugby (and cricket), track and field facilities and skate parks

DAVE

Thompson Sports ‘n’ Things

with more of those, apparently, to come.

Several very nice full size and some smaller golf courses for which tee times are almost always available and relatively affordable.

Unmatchable opportunities for outdoor activities from walking to cycling and motorized touring; along with easy small urban access to parks and beaches and waterways right within the communities involved; a dedicated and well run bocce facility and many less formal ones.

Archery and shooting venues; etc., and, ample local access to friendly experts about accessing and using all these venues in informal or competitive ways.

We have a recreation paradise here.

And yet, in my travels around the region, I see that most of these facilities are empty

most of the time in late summer and early fall - even the golf courses seem deserted by early afternoon.

Locals are a bit spoiled by the abundance of opportunity and yet local governments and private/club/ volunteer operators make a strong effort to maintain this abundance, in season, year round.

There has to be a way to, “sell,” this abundance to the wider world of recreators, many of whom struggle with limited access in larger centers.

Given that low usage is a problem, cost-wise, for almost all the organizations that maintain and operate the varied resources available, it seems almost imperative that someone comes up with an idea to increase usage, or

that operators consider partially or totally shuttering some of these facilities as being too expensive to maintain at their current level.

I do not know the best marketing strategy out there, but there has to be something better than we are now doing. It seems at least worth considering by a locally partisan (collaborative rather than combative group from all communities) collective.

Sidetracking some of the funding slated for seemingly ineffectual (at revitalizing the economy) downtown renovation projects into a big promotional push about what makes this area a special place to live and visit might be a start.

Doing nothing better than what we are doing now does not seem a sustainable vision.

Pritchard’s world-class kicking skill has earned him a spot on the Canadian team sheet in the past. But coach Kieran Crowley now has other kicking options in Gord McRorie, Liam Underwood and Connor Braid with Matt Evans and Harry Jones offering more versatile options at fullback.

“Back to real life post-tour.

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - James Pritchard, Canada’s all-time leading pointsscorer, has been left off Canada’s provisional 35-man roster for next month’s Rugby World Cup. The 36-year-old fullback became the 20th player to reach 600 points in international play with a 10-point performance in a 21-20 loss to Samoa last week in Toronto. The Australian-born back also took over as Canadian captain when Tyler Ardron was forced off with an injury.

Pritchard, who plays for Bedford Blues in England, has won 61 caps for Canada with 607 points from 18 tries, 104 conversions and 103 penalties.

Former captain Gareth Rees held the previous Canadian record of 491 points. Only Winston Stanley, with 24, has scored more tries for Canada.

REGIONAL GRAND FORKS

Family suing city, RDKB over 2012 drowning on Kettle River

BY CRAIG LINDSAY Grand Forks Gazette

JOHN MACLEAN

The lawsuit specifies that Andrew Barrie’s son saw Ron and Jacqueline Legare get swept away.

He escaped and managed to pull his mother to shore with him, and then watched as his father floated downstream rapidly.

Andrew Barrie was unable to free himself from the fastmoving waters. The family alleges he “experienced grievous personal injuries, pain and suffering” before he eventually drowned. His body was recovered seven days later approximately one kilometre downstream from Cascade Falls.

In the lawsuit, the family of Andrew Barrie state that tubing down the river is an activity that is pro-

moted at local tourist centres and by the province. They also allege that no warning is given anywhere about the dangers of the falls and the approaching rapids. It also claims that the river was particularly high that year, and was therefore especially dangerous.

The lawsuit names the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations; Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training; Destination BC; RDKB; City of Grand Forks; City of Christina Lake; Scott McNeill; Kathy MacNeill; Jacqueline MacNeill; Jamie MacNeill; the estate of Ron Legare; the estate of Jacqueline Legare; and five separate government entities.

The lawsuit says the Barrie family have experienced “extreme mental suffering” as a result of witnessing Andrew Barrie struggling to escape.

None of the allegations have been proven in court and the defendants have not filed a statement of defence.

The lawsuit was filed on July 23, 2014 with the Vancouver Law Courts and is classified as supreme civil.

John MacLean, chief administrative officer of the RKDB, said the regional dis-

trict has no jurisdiction over the river and they have not put any warning signs up.

Despite that, the case has been referred to their insurers and they are working their way through the process.

As for the argument about whether anyone is responsible for advertising tubing as a fun activity and not warning enough of dangers, he said, “I’m all for going for a walk every day. If you take my advice and go for a walk and fall down and hurt your ankle, is that my

problem?

“We’ve referred this to our municipal insurers and they are preparing a response.

While it’s a tragedy we didn’t invite those folks into the water.

NOW HIRING!!!

A Scottish family is suing a local family as well as the provincial government, RDKB and City of Grand Forks, after a man drowned while tubing on the Kettle River in 2012.

Andrew Barrie, an oil consultant from Scotland, was on holiday in Canada with his wife and son visiting friends in the region. During their visit they joined their friends, the MacNeills and Legares, for tubing down the Kettle.

Barrie, along with Christina Lake residents Ronald (74) and Jacqueline Jean (71) Legare died of drowning after being swept down the falls.

The three were part of a group that was tubing in the area on July 28 and were seen being swept into Cascade Canyon.

At the time, then-Staff Sgt. Jim Harrison told the Gazette, “Apparently, a party of 13 people were tubing on the Kettle River when they were caught up in the current under the Trestle Bridge and three of the party of 13 went over Cascade Falls.”

“While it’s a tragedy, we didn’t invite those folks into the water.

We don’t control the water. We don’t have any jurisdiction.”

We don’t control the water. We don’t have any jurisdiction.”

The scheduled hearing date for the case is June 20, 2016 in the Vancouver Law Courts.

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

good solution for most people.

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a

Dwelling on hurt will only alienate mother Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

take a position that could only hurt our relationship?

Last week, during an eye exam, the doctor noticed a spot and diagnosed me with a textbook case of solar maculopathy. I passed this confirmation along to my mother, but even now, she won’t acknowledge how wrong, and in some ways cruel, her denial and indifference were.

In my right eye, I have a dark spot that follows wherever I look. I’ve grown used to it, but it is a constant reminder of this troubling episode. Am I wrong to continue feeling hurt? Or does this reveal something about our relationship and her moral character? -- S. Dear S.: Denial is a very powerful emotion. It allows someone like your mother

Dear Wisconsin: You’re welcome. We all deal with small, trivial irritations on a daily basis. Some people are more bothered by them than others, so we’re happy to help when you need to let off a little steam.

Annie’s

to refuse to believe that you have a serious problem [1] and what it could mean to your future. She needed comfort, too, and this is where she found it.

Is Mom’s behavior toward you otherwise close and loving? If so, we would put this in the past.

Continuing to dwell on the hurt will only make you bitter and will alienate the two of you, which we assume is not what you want.

Dear Annie: I’d like to comment further on the letter from “Shepherdsville, Ky.,” regarding poor grammar.

My pet peeves are those who say “pitcher” for “picture.” In Wisconsin, numerous individuals say “youse guys” instead of “you guys” and “liberry” for “library.”

And last, but not least, it irks me when my husband and I are at a restaurant and the server asks, “What can I get for you guys?” I am not a guy.

I am far from perfect, and maybe a little picky, but I find these things very annoying. And I, too, feel better now after venting.

-- Miss Picky in Wisconsin

2015 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Dear Annie: About three years ago, I did something very stupid. I looked at a solar eclipse. I thought it would last only a minute and, not wanting to miss it, I ran outside and squinted at it through my sunglasses. I fully acknowledge that I can only blame myself for that. The next days and weeks were some of the scariest of my life. My vision became blurry and I had a hard time focusing.

I feared that I might not recover my sight and that my center of vision might always be skewed because I had looked directly at the sun.

Thankfully, my vision gradually recovered. But one thing about this episode has left me deeply troubled.

When I thought I would be permanently blinded, I needed love and support.

However, my mother quickly became convinced that I was faking it. She insisted that none of it was real, it was all in my head and I was just imagining everything.

It was frustrating and confusing. Why would she deny that I was having a medical problem? Why would she

Leisure

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, Aug. 8, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today Fiery Mars moves into Leo for the next seven weeks. This means your energy will be pumped, focused and enduring. This is your chance to go, go, go!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) In the next two months, you will have increased chaos and activity at home due to renovations, relocations or family camped out on your sofa. Patience will be your best friend.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The pace of your days will accelerate in the next two months! You will also be more forceful and direct in all your communication.

This is great for sales, writing and teaching.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You will work hard to boost your earnings in the next two months. But truth

be told, you will work hard to spend money as well!

Oops.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It’s been two years since fiery Mars was in your sign.

Today it returns to stay until mid-September. This amps your energy and gives you drive and aggression.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Some kind of activity will keep you busy behind the scenes in the next few months. Perhaps it’s secret or just private. Only you know.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your involvement with groups will become intense in the next two months.

Physical competition in sports and athletics are most likely.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your ambition will be aroused in the next two months, more than you have felt in a few years. Be careful

that you don’t threaten your boss. And don’t burn any bridges.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) As Mars shifts signs today, it will stimulate your desire for travel. You will be more aggressive in exploring opportunities in publishing, the media, the law, medicine and education.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You will defend your best

interests with inheritances, insurance matters and shared property in the next two months. You know what you want, and you won’t back down.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Things have been lovely with partners and close friends for some time now.

Be careful during the next two months, because you might be annoyed with someone.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You’re moving into action mode now when it comes to improving your job and getting things done. Ideas and plans will start to become bricks and mortar.

YOU BORN TODAY You are multitalented and versatile. You can do practically anything. Whatever you do, you throw yourself fully into it in a responsible, serious way. You want professional
