Trail plugging into electric highway plan BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Installing electric car charging stations in downtown Trail is not just about providing power to one or two motorists – it's all part of a bigger picture. Politicians representing communities from Princeton to Fernie have long advocated to promote the 650-kilometre stretch of Highway 3 as an electric vehicles corridor. Trail and Grand Forks are the most recent cities to sign on with the Sun Country Highway Municipal Destination program – and that's good news for Andrew Chewter. Chewter commutes between Nelson and Teck Trail Operations in

his electric vehicle called a Nissan Leaf. He's passionate and well informed on electric power versus fossil fuel, and writes about the cars, travel plans, and charging stations on his website KootenayEVFamily. ca. “Commuting every day, I looked at how much gasoline I was going to consume and for a number of different reasons I didn't want to support purchasing gasoline if I didn’t need to,” said Chewter. “We have so much hydroelectric in the Kootenays, and export our hydroelectric elsewhere, so it's really neat to be able to drive by the dams everyday – it's kind of like the 100mile diet for my car.” See COMPANY, Page 3

Workers from FortisBC were busy digging space for a new gas line in downtown Trail on Monday. City crews discovered an existing gas line passed through the sewer line at Pine Ave. and Farwell St. To prevent dangers from any possible leaks, FortisBC re-routed the gas line underneath the sewer line.

FROM PAGE 11 Trail’s air quality is considered at high risk, according to air quality values posted to bcairquality.ca. The online tool maps out the province’s air quality down to the nearest community with a simple click of the mouse. The province measures particulate matter 2.5 (from fire), ozone and nitrogen dioxide levels in the air to determine air quality. The numbered and coloured scale offers different referrals based on whether website users are at low, moderate or high risk. Those most at risk when smoke clouds air quality include children, older adults, pregnant women, those with a chronic lung condition, or people who have been outside in these conditions doing extraneous physical activity. Dr. Golmohammadi simply recommends staying inside when there is heavy smoke and even using an air filtration system like an air conditioner. But not all systems can get rid of the small particles. ***** The fire danger rating remains high in the Southeast Fire Centre, where seven of the 13 wildfires of note are burning in the province.

REGIONAL

RDCK directors welcome Glade, Harrop ferries BY WILL JOHNSON Nelson Star

Two Kootenay regional directors are thrilled with the announcement that new ferries will be constructed for Glade and Harrop, but some residents in their communities continue to pine for the installation of a fixed link. “We’re pretty happy we’re getting a new ferry because we just had our capacity cut by a Transport Canada ruling down to 50,” said Area E director Ramona Faust. That will create problems come September, because there are at least 38 elementary school students who take the bus each morning. Starting on September 6, that may cause back-ups. “The fact we’ll have a new ferry in three years means the pain won’t go on forever.” But some haven’t given up on the GREG NESTEROFF PHOTO idea of a bridge. The existing Glade ferry can carry eight vehicles. Its replacement will be able to carry “There is a group of concerned citizens who have met about the ferry nine. since the capacity was cut and I think the cost-benefit analysis.” perhaps we need a little more conyou’ll find there’s a difference of opinHe hopes the higher capacity of sideration for the lives we lead.” ion even among them.

Company to supply stations at no charge FROM PAGE 1 Three units are being shipped to Trail at no cost from Sun Country, which is a Canadian-owned company that promotes the adoption of zero emission transportation. Using $9,000 from its Climate Action Reserve Fund, the city committed to installing the stations within four weeks of receipt, and must provide power as a no-cost service. Trail is the second local community to join the ecofriendly incentive. Rossland has been on board since 2013 with two charging

stations located in a lot on Washington Street. “Right now, (with the exception of Rossland) from Nelson to Osoyoos, it’s kind of like the charging wasteland,” said Chewter. “There’s no public infrastructure at this point. So for Trail to be adding them, that helps to fill the gap, for sure.” With the exception of the Tesla Model S, Chewter says electric cars are meant for use within a city or as a suburban commuter, and not (yet) for long distance travel. “It’s for things we do on a regular basis, like the daily

commute, or going to the ski hill on the weekend or biking (trails) in the evening,” he said. “We are doing these longer trips because we want to try it. But it’s not practical to travel between here and Kelowna at this point. We do save money, but most people aren’t willing to stop for three hours, twice a day to charge their car – only to save maybe $30.” For those who choose to drive electric over gas, two units for Tesla models and one for conventional (EV-60) vehicles will be installed in the Victoria Street parking

lot this fall. Each unit is considered “Level 2,” meaning a full charge takes up to three hours. “This fits in with City of Trail climate action goals,” says Trail Mayor Mike Martin. “And the whole idea is to promote Highway 3 as a viable alternative through southern British Columbia,” he added. “And make it attractive for electric vehicle owners to choose this route and come and enjoy the ambience of our country side, as well as residents who drive electric vehicles.”

Drink plenty of water (at least 8 glasses a day) to avoid dehydration and heat-related illnesses.

Is B.C. really burning? Not exactly

n a recent drive through the B.C. Interior, I passed through McLure and Barriere, communities north of Kamloops that were devastated by wildfire in 2003. While these communities have recovered, blackened tree trunks are still visible where fires burned for 75 days and forced the evacuation of 3,800 people. With the early start to this year’s fire season, the media attention and effects of an unusual spring drought, you might think that B.C. is on pace to match that terrible summer. You would be wrong. As of last week, area burned and money spent by the B.C. Wildfire Service had only just exceeded the totals for mid-August during last summer’s fire season, which were high but not remarkable. The number of individual fires is higher this

year, but that’s mostly a result of lightning storm patterns. Spending has topped $200 million, as it did last year at this time before finishing just below $300 million. The 2003 total was above $400 million, and the 2009 season was slightly below that. Forests Minister Steve Thomson cautions that there are still many weeks to go and hot, dry conditions are expected for much of that. Once the damage is done for the year, the ministry reviews the impact on forests and begins assessment of which areas should be replanted and which should be left to regenerate naturally. Pine forests need fire to regenerate, and the strategy in recent years has been to allow fires to burn out naturally and contain them to protect people and property. Decades of fire suppression, based on viewing

TOM

FLETCHER B.C. Views

Crown forests strictly as a timber resource, helped create conditions for the beetle epidemic that has left vast quantities of dead wood to fuel more fires. The 2003 fire season set the tone for political debate on forest fire policy that has continued since then. The opposition points to recommendations from former Manitoba premier Gary Filmon that removing fuel from around communities is the best protection. This task has proven

impossibly big, especially as rural community tax bases shrink, but the ideological dance continues in Victoria. The NDP campaigned in 2013 on a promise to double tree planting, and its general approach is to spend more money and hire more staff. Speaking of political dances, Premier Christy Clark has made a couple of appearances at fire sites where homes and businesses have been threatened or destroyed. (Today’s big-city media formula is to emphasize danger and promote attacks on premiers of all stripes. If they don’t visit disasters, they are callous and uncaring. If they do, they’re exploiting the situation for photo ops.) In her first fire scene appearance this summer, Clark warned that drought and huge fires may be “the new normal” for B.C. as climate warms and shifts. This is great positioning

for the government’s plan to attend the latest global climate doom festival in Paris this fall, but it’s not borne out by recent forest fire results. In terms of dollars spent and area burned, the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were all well below average. Last year and 2009 were substantially above average, but 2008 and 2013 were among the quietest years on record. Is drought the “new normal” too? The B.C. government’s own climate change forecast is for increasing overall precipitation, albeit with more rain and less snow. Snowpacks for southern B.C. were indeed the lowest on record this past winter, but that record only goes back 31 years. And when were high snowfall records last broken? That would be 2011. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

‘Straight Outta Compton’ continues attract crowds THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - “Straight Outta Compton” easily maintained its box-office lead with an estimated $26.8 million in ticket sales over a sleepy late summer weekend at the multiplexes. The N.W.A biopic, a much buzzed-about hit, dominated over the late August releases that often characterize Hollywood’s dog days of summer. It has now made $111.5 million in two weeks. The low-budget horror sequel “Sinister 2” fared the best of the new releases, opening with $10.6 million. “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation” came in second with $11.7 million in its fourth week.

eral government’s worldwide hucksterism of its birthright energy sector, other provinces like B.C. have been getting on with adaptation to the emerging realities. There is a provincial carbon tax (notably a neutral one) on all oil, gas and diesel purchases. Key cities are densifying. Urban transit is being upgraded. Citizens are walking and biking to work in larger and larger numbers. The tech sector has arrived in Vancouver to join movies, year-round tourism, global real estate investment and condo construction as new examples of economic diversity. You can sense the competitive vitality that numerous smaller economic sectors provide the Vancouver work force. And the opportunities. Contrast this with the prospect of hanging on in Alberta, especially for those without meaningful family roots. As someone who “has looked at carbon from both sides now” (thanks Joni), having worked for 30 years in Alberta, and seven in B.C., I think B.C. is firmly on the ‘now’ side of historic trends. It reminds me of the situation my great uncle Leighton faced when steam irrevocably replaced wind as the propulsion system for ships. He was the captain of a four-masted tea clipper, the Melanope, and in 1906 he ‘came ashore’ in San Fransisco. He always said it was the best decision he ever made Troy Media syndicated columnist Mike Robinson has been CEO of three Canadian NGOs: the Arctic Institute of North America, the Glenbow Museum, and the Bill Reid Gallery.

Stock plunge got you rattled? Check your financial plan and risk tolerance

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - It’s gut check time, financial advisers said Monday as stock markets around the world went for a wild ride testing just how much risk investors are really comfortable with. The S&P/TSX composite index plunged more than 768 points in early trading, then recouped all but 77 points of that before again selling off for a huge loss of 420.93 points or 3.12 per cent to 13,052.74 at the close. The dive followed a tumble

last week that saw the Toronto market suffer through five consecutive losing sessions - including a string of triple-digit losses that brought the TSX down more than 800 points on the week. “If you are telling me today that your risk tolerance is not what you thought it was and you’re in the wrong model and you don’t want any downside losses, then we have some things to chat about,” said Brent Vandermeer, a portfolio manager with HollisWealth.

“This is part of what equity markets have consistently done and will continue to do and we have to endure these downside storms even though we get very fearful and worried it is going to keep going down to zero.” The S&P/TSX composite index is down about 15 per cent from its high reached last year, while the Dow Jones industrial average is off more than 10 per cent from its high reached earlier this year.

has now raised concerns of possible competitive devaluations, slower global economic growth and new fears of deflation,” the bank wrote in a note to clients. While the drop in recent days looks big, compared with the downturn during the 2008-09 financial crisis, the move remains relatively small. During the financial crisis, the S&P/TSX composite index dropped more than 7,000 points from its 2008 high before reaching the bottom in 2009.

Investments, said if you aren’t sleeping well at night, worried about your investments, you have too much risk. “This is a great time to go and ask that question because it gives you a true answer as to what your tolerance for risk really is,” he said. CIBC noted it expects the recent weakness in stock markets will likely continue into year-end. “What started as a modest second devaluation of the yuan

Kootenay Glacier Kings primed for 55-plus Games By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

The Kootenay Glacier Kings hockey teams will join about 3,500 athletes in North Vancouver this week for the 55-plus B.C. Games. The Glacier Kings will send two teams to the Games this year, the 55-59 and 60-64 age teams, with the more senior team looking to defend the gold medal it won at the 2014 Games in Langley, and the 55-59 team hoping to reclaim the gold they won in 2013. The 32 players represent the largest contingent from the Zone 6 West Kootenay team made up of athletes from Nelson, Castlegar,

Greater Trail, Salmo, Grand Forks and Christina Lake. “The teams are looking pretty good . . . but both teams are going down a little short,” said 60-64 player Wayne Florko. The respective Glacier King squads are a centreman short of a full three lines, but are confident going into the annual event. “Both teams are pretty strong, but we have some injuries, and some new guys. We are going to be a bit of a different team, but the core, the nucleus, is there on both clubs, so that will be pretty good.” After winning gold in 2013 at the Games, the 55-plus team went

on to capture the gold medal at the 2014 Canada Senior Games in Edmonton last September. The Glacier Kings will play in a four team round robin before the medal games go on Saturday, the final day of the Games. Many players on the Kootenay squads played with or against each other in the Western International Hockey League on teams like the Trail Smoke Eaters, Nelson Leafs, Rossland Warriors, and Spokane Flyers adding a unique character that is both competitive and fun on the ice and in the dressing room. “I think guys that have always played like the competition and

the real steep competition and that’s what makes it fun,” said Florko. “But what makes it even more fun is that a lot of us use to play against each other and now were playing together as a team and that is really neat. Lots of good stories and a lot of good players too.” After a hot, dry summer, the players looked forward to taking to the ice and getting in a few practices in Nelson and Trail before heading to the Games. “Once you get a few skates under your belt it gets a lot better, but the first few were pretty tough. The older you get it takes you just a little bit longer to

respond. But yesterday (Sunday) as a group was definitely our very best skates for everyone.” The 55-59 Glacier Kings open the Games Wednesday morning at 9:30 a.m. while the 60-64 Kings play the Vancouver Schooners at 1:30 p.m. “The key will be playing your system, taking care of your own end, and not giving up odd-man rushes and stuff like that,” said Florko. “You have to play smart, and probably through the course of it, we’ll have to make adjustmenst with one guy short.” About 100 participants from the West Kootenay will compete in 24 sports and games.

Community pride impacts Babe Ruth World Series By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

Twenty years ago, almost to the day, Greater Trail hosted arguably the most prestigious and memorable event in its sporting history – the Babe Ruth World Series. For the next three issues, Trail Times Sports will take a walk down the base paths of time, and revisit the tournament that ran from Aug. 19-26, 1995; highlighting its evolution, its players, and those that made the event possible. Preparation for the 1995 age 16-18 Babe Ruth World Series was a long and challen-

ging process, that couldn’t have been accomplished without an inspired community effort. The City of Trail along with close to 60 corporate sponsors boosted the World Series Committee’s budget to $500,000. But it was the thousands of volunteers from construction workers to scorekeepers, hostesses and bat boys, billet families and ticket sellers that made the Series an unparalleled success. “It’s the biggest sporting event Trail has ever seen,” said tournament committee director Brian Pipes. “Even when you have the summer or winter games here,

those are big, but not as big as this. As far as attendance and participation, it was huge. ” The biggest priority was renovating Butler Park to bring it into line with Babe Ruth standards and dimensions. Director Dan Ashman brought in Rud Haar, the groundskeeper for Nat Bailey Stadium in Vancouver, and with the support of residents, Cominco, and local contractors, the field was completed by 1993. But that was only the start. “Getting the lights was a big challenge, getting the ball park done was a big challenge, the bleachers was a big one,” said

Pipes. West Kootenay Power along with local contractors GESCAN and Bryan’s Transfer helped Butler see the light of day, bringing a $112,000 lighting project in at a cost of $56,000. To accommodate the thousands of fans, new bleachers were installed along the first and third base lines, and the outfield. With a team of 10 students, led by Cominco carpenter and Local 480 representative Gord Menelaws, the crew added 6,000 more seats to Butler Park and its already 800 capacity. See RECORD, Page 10

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Steven Sabados won’t be returning to the CBC-TV show “Steven and Chris” after the death of his husband/co-host Chris Hyndman. In a statement on the show’s Facebook page, Sabados says “it’s impossible” for him to imagine continuing the daytime lifestyles series without Hyndman. He adds the CBC understands and supports his decision and he hopes viewers can as well. CBC spokesman Chuck Thompson says the public broadcaster “will be exploring new options” for its daytime schedule over the next few months. Hyndman died earlier this month at age 49. In the Facebook message, Sabados says it’s been “an incredibly difficult time” and he thanks those who’ve supported him over the past few weeks.
