Bear breaks into Glenmerry home Bear activity at all time high, says local WildSafeBC coordinator BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

A Glenmerry resident is feeling violated after a burglar entered his home and took what he was after freely. But his wasn't a typical thief, instead a big hungry bruin. Dean Johnson was relived to see

that no damage was done to the back entrance of his home Tuesday night when a bear pushed his way into his shed, which is sectioned off from the rest of his house, in search of the trash bin. But he is still left feeling uneasy over the boldness of the intruder. “If the bear comes back looking again, and I've heard they've been out in the middle of the day, the kids could be in the backyard anytime of the day,” he said.

The Trail Historical Society has kindly offered photos and stories related to the history of Trail. While Trailites take the city’s covered stairs for granted, others see them as a treasure that should be celebrated. Last year’s Communities in Bloom judges claimed they’d never seen anything like them. And several years ago, The Province listed Trail’s stairs as #26 on the list of Things to Do in B.C. The original stairs were constructed between 1930 and 1940, mostly of rock, concrete and wood. By 1938, there were 31 sets with an average of 88 steps each, totaling 2,273 linear feet. In the 1950s, more stairs were added and the existing ones upgraded. One of the reasons Trail athletes were so good at their game: local coaches made their charges run the stairs as a form of exercise – carrying another person on their backs. The longest single set of stairs was situated from midRossland Avenue up to Austad Lane. It had 225 steps with 24 landings. The longest multiple set starts on Spokane Street at Pine Avenue and leads up to Lookout Street. This had four sets of stairs with 323 steps and 17 landings.

Those who attended high school at the original J. L. Crowe from the 1950s to the mid-‘60s will remember the massive set of steps up the hillside to the front of the school. They were removed about 1964 or ’65 and new stairs were built from Randall Road. The city undertook the task of covering the stairs with metal roofs in the 1980s and ‘90s. The cost savings to the city was immense, given how previously, work crews had to shovel them all. Today the stairs amount to 6,610 vertical feet or 1.25 miles. A Community in Bloom initiative has a number of the stairs sponsored by various businesses, organizations and/or individuals who have been picking up garbage and keeping the stairs clean. CiB judges suggested promoting these amazing landmarks, and now, two organizations are doing just that. Trail United Way is holding a fun run fundraiser called Storm the Stairs, and Waneta Sunrise Rotary will host a duathlon called the Red Roof Run. Both events are taking place on the weekend of Sept. 12/13. For more information contact http:// stormthestairs2015.yodel. org/events/storm-stairs-2015 or http://www.redroofsdu. com/

REgional

Four bears destroyed in Rossland on Wednesday FROM PAGE 1 “They (bears) have found a food source, whether it’s locked up or not, and they’re going to stick around because that’s what they know.” Sharon Wielder, Rossland /Trail WildSafeBC community coordinator, said bear activity is very high in local urban areas right now. “The natural food such as berries came early and are drying up with the lack of rain,” she said. “As long as these bears can access food in town, they will stay until the snow arrives—that is several months of dealing with bears that will become more aggressive as well as defensive of their food source.” The local conservation office is concerned about three bears that have moved into Glenmerry and don’t seem to be leaving, she added. The bears are attracted by the abundant fruit on domestic trees and by garbage. There are at least 15 to 20 bears of concern in Rossland and Trail, many of which are adult bears travelling together and oddly are not family units. Rossland residents recently shared their concerns online via Bhubble after Mayor Kathy Moore posted on her Facebook page that four bears were killed in lower Rossland on Wednesday. Rossland News reporter Chelsea Novak wrote that Sgt. Tobe Sprado from the conservation office confirmed that the bears—two adult males and two adults

females—were destroyed. “Unfortunately the neighbours of the residence that attracted the bears didn’t alert anyone early when the bears first arrived,” explained Wieder. “People were also too willing to let the bears eat fruit and sleep at vacant homes.” The bears are entering their “hyperphagia stage,” where they need to consume up to 20,000 calories per day, so it’s easy to see why they would hang around the overladen fruit trees. Wieder confirms that bears will move on if they have nothing to eat. “Cubs will learn from their mothers that people food (including fruit trees) is a great source of calories and since bears can live up to 20 years in the wild, that is a long time to be chasing bears out of your fruit trees,” she said. What’s most troubling for Johnson is that he managed his garbage yet he still had a visit from an uninvited guest. “If I had left my garbage out for it to freely grab, my fault, but when I do my due diligence to keep it out of the way and closed up and it’s not stopping him, then what’s to stop him from entering my back sliding door when I’m cooking? That’s a concern.” Residents seeking information can visit the WildSafeBC Rossland/Trail Facebook page for details on a community picking and pressing event this weekend, as well as a comparison chart on bear activity for the last three years.

RCMP warn of Canada Revenue phone scam in Salmo area By Times Staff Salmo RCMP would like to advise people that area residents have received phone calls, letters and emails from individuals stating they are from Canada Revenue asking for money that is owing. Never give out personal information to anybody as these are scams. On the Canada Revenue website it discusses how to protect yourself from these scams, below is a quote directly from their website and their email address: “Fraudulent emails and phone calls - Protect yourself!

Police familiar with downtown issues FROM PAGE 1 KBRH is the only regional hospital in the West Kootenay that provides psychiatric services, so it’s a given that people within the city, surrounding communities and outside areas will come to Trail for mental health/addiction medical care. The Greater Trail RCMP detachment was called out 79 times for related incidents this summer, says Sgt. Darren Oelke, noting police files don’t accurately reflect cases related to mental illness. “We get a wide variety of calls,” he explained. “It could be someone hallucinating and needing help, someone suicidal, a call about a person acting strange or even panhandling.” Police are very familiar with the Groutage apartments he confirmed, saying lower rent in Trail draws people from surrounding communities such as Rossland. “But when you have a psychiatric facility, people needing help will come

here,” he said. “A positive is we have a great working relationship with mental health services. “It’s not a police matter, but we work to get the right resources to get in contact with the people.” While the downtown businesses do band together and help people down on their luck or homeless, with food and warm clothes, those are not the individuals the group is addressing. “All the bleeding hearts have to realize that this place (downtown apartments) is 10 times worse than places like Riverview,” said Haley. “There should be a nice, safe, outreach facility running 24/7 so when that person is well enough, they go back to their own communities and have people who know them, take care of them.” Someone has to speak up and say the province needs to step up to the plate and realize this can’t be downloaded onto our community, Haley added. “It’s destroying Trail and holding

Trail back from any kind of growth.” Trail council discussed the group’s letter during the Aug. 24 meeting, with one councillor sharing his personal experiences with downtown Trail disturbances, and another asking about the DTBG itself. “They are an ad-hoc group who have the interest of our downtown at heart,” said Trail Mayor Mike Martin. “I think we owe it to them and the city to use this opportunity to work with other groups and facilitate a session.” First, Trail officials are requesting facts and solid examples of how the matter is impacting downtown activities. “We should move forward and coordinate a session with other bodies in town who may have firsthand information,” the mayor concluded. “We need facts, and to meet with mayor and councillors from other communities, and work towards getting traction and having someone listen to these concerns at the UBCM. Because, this is not just a local issue.”

OBITUARIES

FUNERAL

Dariusz Sixtus Ratynski

July 18, 1962 August 22, 2015 Dariusz Sixtus Ratynski, fondly known as Darek, continued his journey from this life on August 22nd, 2015. Darek was born July 18, 1962 in Poland. He immigrated with his family to Canada in 1980, first to Toronto, and then eventually Calgary. Here he met his wife Johanna, and Bordeaux their loving dog in 1998. They were married in 2001. Their love evolved as they embraced the birth of their sons Alexander 13 and Adryan 11. Darek and Johanna cultivated their love and life together through their appreciation for cooking, wine, music, and more importantly their common values. They were uncompromising about prioritizing family, hard work and simplifying their life. This was held together by their faith. Darek surrendered this life for the life after following his fight with cancer since 2011. His tenacity, courage, strength, stubbornness, and determination will live on in his sons as a legacy. His devotion to Alexander and Adryan was unwavering as he imparted to them the love of nature, music and hiking. Darek taught them to become expert mushroom pickers and educated their palate to appreciate good food. His love of travel, his curious mind and his unique perspective of life determined the type of friends he drew to his life. Darek was a non-conformist. Thinking outside the box and challenging the status quo was something he was passionate about as it provoked thought and produced new ideas. Darek will be remembered for his wittiness, his colourful sense of humour and his fierce loyalty to those he loved. His wife Johanna, his sons Alexander and Adryan, his parents Zygmunt and Adelheid, his siblings Maria, John, Richard and Sabina and their families remain in this life to testify to the life and legacy that Darek left. Maximillion his rambunctious dog misses his presence. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca.

will go up a notch when NDP leader Tom Mulcair pays a visit to Penticton. Mulcair will be in Penticton on Aug. 31, with a rally scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. Richard Cannings, the NDP candidate for South Okanagan West Kootenay, said the local organization has been asking for a visit from Mulcair. “It does show that they consider this a key riding. We are happy to have that support,” said Cannings. “We got on the itinerary because they see we have momentum all across the province, so he is spending a lot of time in B.C. “This riding in particular, it being a tight race between the Conservatives and the NDP, I am sure he wants to give us some support and have a big rally and show how people are excited about the NDP.” Cannings told the Trail Times on Thursday that the West Kootenay won’t be on NDP leader’s itinerary. “It would be nice to get him out to Nelson, Castlegar and Trail.” Besides Penticton, Cannings added, Mulcair will also be visiting Kelowna, Vernon and Kamloops. Meanwhile, Cannings will be making the rounds in this part of the riding when he visits Rossland during Golden City Days next month.

Provincial Smoke from Washington fires casts pall over some Okanagan businesses THE CANADIAN PRESS KELOWNA, B.C. - Heavy smoke sweeping in from Washington state wildfires is causing some tourists to blow off their Okanagan vacations, say business people around Kelowna, B.C. “Business has slowed down quite a bit because of the air quality and the smoke has cooled down the lake quite a bit,” said Rylie Gallagher, owner of Kelowna Wibit Water Park. He said business has decreased by a third to a half in the last few days. “This was expected to be one of our last strong weeks,” he said. “We’re going to take a bit of a hit with the smoke.” Gallagher said he hopes Labour Day weekend will bring an influx of customers. Nancy Cameron, Tourism Kelowna CEO, said local hotels have taken a hit as well. “I have received some feedback from some businesses that have had some cancellations,” said Cameron, adding she did not know the extent of the cancellations. “Generally, it’s people who have a concern about the air quality.” The Delta Grand in Kelowna is one of the hotels that has seen the effects of the smoke on visitors, with occupancy down about 10 per cent. “We have had a few people cancelling and a few shortening their stays a bit,” said Daniel Gibby, general manager of the Delta. Todd’s RV and Camping in Peachland receives calls daily asking how long the smoke will last, but it has not resulted in cancellations, said manager Barb Fritsch. “Some people coming from Alberta are saying it’s not as bad here as it is there.”

Fracking firm linked to 2014 tremor says cause of recent quake not established

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A natural gas operation that halted work after a 4.6-magnitude earthquake in northeastern British Columbia last week has been linked to the largest earthquake in the province that’s been attributed to fracking. Progress Energy, which is owned by Malaysia’s Petronas, paused its operations after the Aug. 17 quake that occurred 114 kilometres from Fort St. John. The B.C. Oil and Gas Commission has previously said that hydraulic fracturing or fracking - by the same company triggered a 4.4-magnitude earthquake that was felt in Fort St. John and Fort Nelson in August 2014. Progress Energy responded late Wednesday, saying the cause of the recent quake has not yet been established. “The northeast B.C. foothills is a seismically active area with more than 6,000 seis-

mic events each year, 99 per cent of which measure a magnitude so low that they are not felt on the surface,” said a statement from spokesman Dave Sterna. The company has voluntarily installed 17 seismic monitoring stations in its operating area, Sterna added. A report by the commission said fracking has caused nearly 200 seismic events in the Montney Trend, which stretches from the B.C.-Alberta boundary near Dawson Creek to the B.C. Rocky Mountain foothills. The report that investigated fracking, the process of fluid injection into rock to extract natural gas, looked into quakes recorded between August 2013 and October 2014. A statement from Rich Coleman, B.C.’s minister for natural gas development, said drilling must stop immediately and the commission must be notified if seismic activity reaches a mag-

nitude of 4.0 or higher. “Operations can only resume once a mitigation plan - such as reduced pumping pressures - are agreed on by the commission,” he said. Coleman said quakes related to hydraulic fracturing are rare, with only about 2.6 per cent of fracking operations in the Montney linked to a seismic event. The province collects earthquake data at 10 stations throughout B.C.’s northeast. “We implemented preventive measures that make sense for our province,” said Coleman. “Seismicity can be managed through geologic understanding, pumping protocols and monitoring.” Energy giant Petronas is also working with the B.C. government on a $36-billion liquefied natural gas project, called Pacific Northwest LNG. The commission did not respond to a request for comment.

gen so if fish end up in those layers, they can die.” Though that is the most likely cause, she isn’t necessarily ruling out blue-green algae or other bacterial or viral causes, which is what the lab tests will determine. Lower water temperatures and bodies of water with dissolved oxygen isn’t anything unique to Lake Koocanusa. She noted that the water temperature was roughly 20 degrees Celsius when

she went out to the lake on Tuesday. As of Thursday morning, the water level at the lake is at 2,441 feet. “It does happen throughout North America too, it’s not just Koocanusa that this happens at—it happens on Kootenay Lake, where Kokanee

are native; they’re not actually native in the Kootenay watershed,” said Lamson. “The Island has had reports, Okanagan Lake has had reports. It is fairly common and fisheries biologists link it to high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen.”

LIFE AFTER SEPARATION Sept 25 - 27th, 2015 When a primary relationship ends we often find ourselves lost, scared, and overwhelmed. Most aspects of our lives are thrown into turmoil and it is hard to move forward. Yet, it is also a time of tremendous potential and new learning where we have a chance to define ourselves in ways that more clearly reflect who we are.

Dead Kokanee discovered in Lake Koocanusa By Trevor Crawley Cranbrook Townsman

A fisheries biologist says there’s no reason for alarm after some dead Kokanee salmon were recently discovered by anglers out on Lake Koocanusa. Reported by a local marina out on the lake, Heather Lamson, a local fisheries biologist wit the Ministry of Environment, took samples on Tuesday and shipped them off to a lab in Duncan. Results should be back in a few weeks, but Lamson already suspects that the cause is likely due to a phenomenon that is becoming more and more common. “It is an annual event, it seems to be in the last few years we’ve had a dieoff of Kokanee on Koocanusa, at least for the last three years,” Lamson said. “It’s always in

August, so it’s always a pretty typical summer kill probably, most likely related to high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen. “Because Kokanee are a schooling fish, they’ll school up and they’ll all sort of swim into potentially dangerous water for them, the water that is separated and often you’ll find in lakes where it’s not very windy for a few days, you’ll find a separation of water layers and certain water layers have depleted oxy-

Community enhancements continue in Area A

ere is an update from Area A regarding some great community accomplishments. A new recreation agreement was concluded with the City of Trail that enables all residents of the Beaver Valley (Fruitvale, Montrose and Area A), and the City of Trail to participate in shared programming, including the use of each community’s recreation facilities. The current contract is for a one year term, for $125,000. A longer-term agreement will be considered in the future, considering several factors. The Waneta Expansion is now complete. It is expected to generate 335 megawatts of power, which will result in an increase in tax revenues. While the City of Trail

awaits updated numbers on the potential impacts of the proposed boundary extension, as a key stakeholder, representing many other key stakeholders, I have asked Trail’s mayor to include me in the process, representing Area A. I have also requested information on the regional benefits of the proposed expansion, and more specifically, who in the region will benefit. That information-sharing is necessary for all residents, as we are all stakeholders in this matter. I will continue to provide updates about the proposed boundary expansion. BV Recreation will be hosting a public meeting to focus on new trail development. We have heard from a couple of people who

Community Comment are interested in working alongside Kootenay Columbia Trails Society to expand the trails network. This will also be an opportunity for the public to bring their ideas for our recently acquired “Columbia Ridge.” This is the 95 acres of land that our former mayor, Libby Nelson, generously and graciously donated to B.V. Recreation in 2014. We need your help and

your ideas. Please contact the B.V. Recreation Office at 250 367–9319 for more information, and plan on attending the meeting. Other News: We are receiving excellent feedback regarding the new playground at Mazzochi Park, and note increased usage already. It is good to see families enjoy the equipment and be active. Second, hockey players and hockey fans from out of town will have no trouble finding our newly painted arena with its bright “Nighthawk” colours and signage, with fresh paint inside the arena as well. The arena is looking really fine! Finally, a reminder about water use: If we all use water wisely, we can help reduce the amount taken from rivers and underground sources.

What are you doing to conserve? Many communities have mandated water meters; I expect our turn will come soon. Yes, brown is the new green for your lawn. I hope everyone is able to enjoy some of the many wonderful recreational opportunities offered during a Kootenay summer! Ali Grieve is the director for the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Area A 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.

it needed, they attracted large amounts of Western investment because of their rapid growth, and they borrowed freely because Western interest rates were at rock-bottom. The collapse of Chinese demand ends this party too. From Brazil to Turkey to South Africa to Indonesia, exports are falling, the value of the local currencies is tumbling, and foreign investors are fleeing. Capital flight from the 19 largest emerging market economies has reached almost one trillion dollars in the past 13 months, and the outflow is still accelerating. And the third crisis, in the West? The problems that caused the crash of 2007-08 have not really been addressed, just papered over. What limited growth there has been in Western economies is due almost entirely to absurdly low interest rates and “quantitative easing” (governments printing money). The average time between recessions in the West is seven to ten years, so one is due around now anyway. The likeliest trigger for that is a collapse of demand in China and in the other emerging economies, which is now practically certain. And when it hits the West, neither of the traditional tools for pulling out of a recession will be available. Interest rates are already near zero, and the money supply has already been expanded massively. It would be rash to talk about a long-lasting global depression in the style of the 1930s, because a lot has changed since then. But it is certainly safe to say that the global economy is heading into a perfect storm. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

The debate dance continues

An editorial from the St. John’s Telegram You can imagine the strategic strategizing that went into that decision: if Stephen Harper is not there, then it makes the others look weak. It forces them to bicker among themselves, making them seem small-minded and not part of the big leagues. On the other hand, women’s issues have always been important to the New Democrats. How would it look if they bailed on an such an event? It’s another example of political leaders tying themselves in knots over tactics and appearances, rather than doing the most natural thing. And this event leaves Mulcair looking like a human pretzel. Every campaign has to weigh the options. Every leader is immersed in image control. They want to come across as smart, engaging, concerned.

Mulcair’s promotional photos are especially noteworthy for the identical broadtoothed smile he’s sporting in every single one of them. He’s always laughing along with someone, with the same painted face. It’s as if someone photographed the same garden gnome in different venues. But the latest move gives that smile a more cynical edge. It’s bad enough Mulcair has insisted on hitching his wagon to Harper’s when it comes to debates. But the women’s debate, organized by an alliance of Canadian women’s groups, was one he had initially agreed to. A debate spokesperson only confirmed Monday that Mulcair had changed his mind. “We made time for the conversation 30 years ago,” Melanie Gallant told The Huffington Post earlier this month. “It’s essential we make time for it

now.” She was referring to the last time women’s issues received significant play in a federal election campaign, which was 1984. The leaders were all male then, too. Cutting funding to women’s groups was one of Harper’s first moves when he took office. This would have been an ideal time to drive home that fact, to give further proof of his apathy on the topic. This event that would have seen every leader except Harper discuss issues that affect 50 per cent of the population. Now, Mulcair has essentially echoed that same disdain himself. And an opportunity to gain the upper ground has gone up in smoke. It’s a tangly game they’re playing. And the patience of the electorate to put up with it may be getting thin already — with well over a month to go.

U.S. president to seek common cause with Pope Francis THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - Sweeping into office in 2009, President Barack Obama captured near rock-star status around the world among millions who saw him as the embodiment of a new sense of social purpose. Now, that baton has largely been passed to Pope Francis, whose visit to the White House next month will put his common cause with Obama on vivid display. Obama has made no secret of his affection for the outspoken pope, calling him a “transformative leader” whose influence has transcended the Roman Catholic community. The pope has embraced many of the issues Obama has sought to advance, including global warming, poverty and diplomacy with Iran and Cuba. Vice-President Joe Biden, a Catholic, said the pope’s Sept. 23 visit will mark an important moment not only for Catholics but for all Americans. “Pope Francis has breathed new life into what I believe is the central mission of our faith: Catholic social doctrine,” Biden said in a statement to The Associated Press. Invoking key elements of Obama’s agenda, Biden added that Francis “has become a moral rudder for the world on some of the most important issues of our time, from inequality to climate change.” The pope’s brief visit to the White House is part of his highly anticipated trip to the U.S. and Cuba. It’s a reunion of sorts for Obama and Francis, who first met when the president visited the Vatican last year. Despite deep differences on some social issues such as abortion, Obama and the pope are expected to focus on areas of agreement. The White House said economic opportunity, immigration and refugees, and protection of religious minorities were high on the agenda. “It’s going to be a come-to-Jesus moment no pun intended - for the many politicians who want to claim the mantle of Pope Francis,” said Michael Wear, a former White House official who led faith outreach for Obama’s 2012 campaign. Viewed as largely above politics, Francis is extremely popular in the U.S. Tickets to his speech to Congress are such a hot commodity that an overflow crowd of thousands is expected to watch on Jumbotrons from the National Mall. “In a way, Pope Francis has become a conscience for this age of the world. When President Obama came to office, he too had that aura for at least the first couple of years,” said Stephen Schneck, who runs the Catholic politics institute at Catholic University of America. “But Pope Francis’ message is moral and religious. He’s not going to be talking about legislation.” The White House has praised Francis for involving himself in issues usually left to politicians. In a rare move, Francis personally intervened to help the U.S. and Cuba restore relations, writing leaders of both countries and hosting their delegations at the Vatican for final talks. And on climate change, a cornerstone of Obama’s desired legacy, Francis added the weight of the pulpit by publishing a landmark encyclical calling climate change real and manmade. 4th

tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns.” This passage challenges me and should challenge every believer to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and His love with others. Jesus is our salvation. He is our peace. He is our God who reigns forever.

I am excited and thrilled to be here and I look forward to many years of sharing in the adventure of following God’s plans for this community. I know that God has great plans for Trail and together, trusting God and His faithfulness, we will move forward on the path that He has laid out for us! May you be blessed The second passage that came to mind is found as you walk with Jesus each day.

As I drove into Trail in July, these words came to mind. I looked up at the mountains and was awed and amazed at the majesty of God’s creation. The beauty of God’s creation is on display wherever you look. This reminds me again and again that my help does not come from earthly things. My help does not come from other people or possessions. My help, my strength, my wisdom, my joy comes from the Lord who created all things.

Teck Coal facing environmental charges By Leah Scheitel Fernie Free Press

Teck Coal has been notified of charges in relation to a 2012 incident at its Elkview operation. The charges have been filed under the Environmental Management Act and the Fisheries Act. “Teck has been charged under the Environmental Management Act and

Fisheries Act and that’s in relation to a discharge of water containing sediment as well as monitoring, reporting and construction practices,” said Chris Stannell, Teck’s senior communications specialist. Stannell said that they are taking the charges “very seriously” and have reviewed the incident that caused the charges.

“We have thoroughly reviewed the incident that took place in 2012 and we have taken a number of steps to prevent a reoccurrence,” Stannell said. Stannell said that

certain measures were enacted to prevent a reoccurrence, such as alterations in procedure and employee training. According to Stannell, “there was

no human health risk associated with the 2012 incident at Elkview Operations and no indication of long-term adverse impacts to the environment.”

Triathlon

Konkin twice golden at Apple

By Times Staff Trail triathlete Jackson Konkin picked up a pair of victories at the Pushor Mitchell Apple Triathlon in Kelowna on the weekend. The J. L. Crowe student won the 1.5 kilometre open water swim on Friday before cruising to a first-place finish in the U16 triathlon on Saturday. His sister Kira also performed well in the water finishing seventh overall in a race that saw Pan Am Games 200-metre breaststroke gold medalist, Keira Smith, win the women’s open water swim.

On Saturday, the U16 triathlon included a 750-metre swim, a 10-km bike, and a four-km run. Jackson jumped out to an early lead completing the swim in six minutes and 28 seconds, almost 30 seconds ahead of Aiden Comeau. The 15-year-old Konkin would increase his lead in the bike, pedaling two laps of a five-km loop in 15:22 to extend his lead to almost a full minute, despite a group of four riders who had formed a draft pack in an effort to catch him. Konkin then posted the fastest time in the run to finish the race in 38:04, one minute

and nine seconds ahead of Three Hills, Alberta native Brock Hoel, and 90 seconds in front of another Albertan in third place Neo Gleason of Canmore. Gleason also competed in the Youth Triathlon Nationals in Magog, Quebec where he placed fifth and Konkin captured bronze. The Trail native will cap off the summer with a trip to Edmonton, where he and his father Mike will watch the ITU World Triathlon championship, and where Jackson will also compete in the Youth Elite category.

Scholarship winners announced By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

The Birchbank Golf Club endorsed a pair of young golfers by awarding them with the Howie Fishwick Memorial scholarship. Birchbank members Jayden Crandell and Ryan Fullerton were each awarded a $2,500 scholarship to help with tuition. Crandell will be attending the University of Calgary to pursue an engineering degree, while Fullerton also received the scholarship last year and will continue with his engineering studies

Waneta Plaza, Trail 117-8100 Highway 3B Trail, BC, V1R 4N7

at the University of British Columbia-Okanagan in Kelowna. The scholarship fund is managed by the LeRoi Foundation, and thanks to the generosity of Howie Fishwick estate that donated $100,000 on the Rossland-Trail Country Club member’s behalf, it will be a legacy for many years to come “They are really good students, and great representatives of the qualities we look for in our recipients,” said Birchbank Golf Pro Dennis Bradley.

The scholarship seeks persons demonstrating dedication and drive in pursuing their post-secondary goals. Eligible applicants must be a junior member at the Birchbank golf course and enrolled in a post-secondary institution. In addition, the applicant must write a short essay and answer questions relevant to merit. Birchbank will also feature Music on the Deck tonight with special guests T&T. Music goes from 6-9 p.m. enjoy a drink or dinner from the Birchbank Bistro.

The Trail Smoke Eaters trimmed their roster down to 30 skaters after their training camp wrapped up on Wednesday. The three-day camp saw 40 players take to the ice, including 10 returning Smoke Eaters looking to reclaim their positions, and at least a half dozen summer commitments and acquisitions. “I was impressed with the compete level,” said Smoke Eater coach and GM Nick Deschenes. “We had a pretty full camp and guys were able to push the pace and it was intensive, but at the end of the day it gave us a really good chance to see whose made progress and where everyone is at.” After giving up the second most goals against (249) in the BCHL last season, a priority for the Smoke Eaters going into this campaign is to shore up its defence and goaltending. Connecticut native Bailey Macburnie, age 20, looked solid and confident in goal during the three scrimmages, and will be the Smokie starter come Sept. 11, against Vernon. Although, there were 14 defenceman in camp, the Smokies are likely looking to fill only one or two spots, however, expectations will be big for returning and committed defencemen. “It was a priority,” said Deschenes. “And I think we have that goaltending part of the equation sorted, and I think now we still need to see what we have with the group right now, and see how far it can take us into the start of the season.”

On the front lines, newly acquired veterans like Kolby Livingstone, Kurt Black, Rhett Wilcox, and Jake Kauppila, along with returnees Harlan Orr, Max Newton, Kienan Scott, Connor BrownMaloski, and Robbie Johnson provide skill, some size, and speed, and will be relied on to pick up the scoring pace. “With our rink we definitely want a mix, we want a lot of speed, I think as long as we have a good balance (of size and speed) we’ll be in good shape.” One of the camp’s pleasant surprises was the play of 18-year-old forward Kale Howarth from Red Deer, who played with the AAA Red Deer Midget Chiefs last season. “He came to us unexpectedly, kind of bypassed the camp process, and I think he has a strong case, lots of potential, moves really well, so we’re going to have some tough decisions moving ahead here.” Committed local players Spencer McLean and Ross Armour looked good up front for the Smokies, and Trail native Jake Yuris was impressive on defence. All three were back on the ice with the team on Thursday following Wednesday’s cuts. The Smoke Eaters now ready for their first exhibition game of the season in Kelowna tonight against the Warriors. Their brief exhibition schedule doesn’t allow for a lot of preparation but a game Saturday in Trail and two against Selkirk College will have to be enough for the Interior division Smokies.

Professional sports still all about the money

ith all the smoke, it seems like fall, and it may actually, finally, cool off and rain a bit this weekend. Makes it seem a little less shocking that the Smokies begin semi-serious play tonight and have their first home game (exhibition) tomorrow at Cominco Arena. Then the Nitehawks start a long pre-season run on Monday night in the Hawks’ Nest. Check out the team sites for all the scheduling info. •If there was still any doubt that pro sports is all, and I mean all, about your money, perhaps the Chris Carter thing will decide the issue for you. Carter, an iffy all star receiver, was used

DAVE

Thompson Sports ‘n’ Things

by the NFL to teach rookies the proper way to deal with playing a sport for big money. Paraphrased, it goes like this, “Even though you are now going to be rich and famous, a lot of people are still going to think you should live under the law and civic morality just like they do. You know, that, ‘Do the Right Thing,’ crap. Of course, they are just ignorant, because

your current situation means you should be above the law and able to do whatever you want, whenever and wherever you want, without penalty.” “Because there are such misguided people out there, you need to organize your life to avoid consequences for any behaviour regular people deem to be bad behaviour. So, you need to cultivate a crew to protect you from such consequences, and in that crew there needs to be a fall guy, the one that takes those consequences, including jail time, for you.” “So you have that one guy you can tell, ‘You’re going to jail,’ whenever bad things result from your bad actions.” Chris Carter is still a broadcaster and, at

least until recently, that teachable moment was on the NFL’s very own web site - so we can be sure the league (and every other entity that profits from the league) is unashamed of the advice given and promoted in its name. • Then there is the idea being floated by the NHL of turning players into billboards, the way pro soccer does it, by putting direct commercial advertising on the jerseys and other equipment worn during play. Purely about the money from the people that make your money from hockey. Not saying not to watch the games and enjoy the athleticism and skills on display, I will be at least some of the time. But, just be aware that, in the NFL,

NHL, NBA, etc., as with the IOC and FIFA,

moving to a three-division format four years ago, 26 wins was the lowest number of wins required to secure a playoff spot. Although early, when asked, whether this edition of the Trail Smoke Eaters will have the necessary tools to make the playoffs, the Smokie coach was cautious. “I will have to hold off on that one, because the feelings I had last year at this time and the early season felt a lot differently from where the group ended up results-wise. “I think there were lots of lessons learned and one was: good starts don’t necessarily mean much. Seeing what we have now and assessing it,

obviously we have to stay on our toes throughout the whole season and make sure we’re progressing as much as possible, because we’re going to face some stiff competition here this season.” The Warriors dropped a 3-2 decision to the Penticton Vees in their first exhibition match Wednesday, and host Trail tonight, before visiting the Cominco Arena on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Trail plays a pair of exhibition games with the Selkirk College Saints next week, with the first match going Friday in Castlegar at 7 p.m. and Saturday’s game at Cominco Arena in Trail at 7:30 p.m.

Smoke Eaters host Warriors

FROM PAGE 12 “It all depends on your evaluation process,” said Deschenes. “Sometimes you know your group, and either you need practices to prepare or you might need games to see them in action. But the reality for Trail is that we’re pretty isolated . . . so we’ll definitely have played less than anyone in our division but last year wasn’t an issue getting out of the gate.” After a good start, Trail would slump mid-season and finish in sixth spot in the BCHL’s always tough Interior division with a 19-33-0-6 record. It was an improvement from the previous year where the team struggled to win just 10 games. Since

Hospice society pitches 10-bed facility to regional district described their purpose. From a financial point, Simmons said hospice beds cost $300 per day, far less than $1,000 per day for a hospital bed. While the current need calls for 20 hospice beds, the 10-bed facility is a model copied from other societies across BC. The size is intended to keep a home-like feel. The society has a commitment from Castlegar city council in the form of

By Tamara Hynd Nelson Star

The Castlegar Hospice Society has pitched the Regional District of Central Kootenay board on their project to build a 10-bed facility for people reaching the end of their life and an alternative to dying in a hospital. It will cost $3.6 million for a facility able to serve approximately 150 patients per year. “Adding lives to days,” is how the society’s Roger Simmons

deeded land valued at $241,800. Beyond that, Simmons said they are “talking to the deep pockets right now,” such as Columbia Basin Trust, Teck, Zellstoff Celgar and non- governmental granting agencies. Once the society has financial commitments, Simmons said they will approach government. Simmons said other hospices have succeeded in raising the $400,000 annual operating funds in

part due to donations from loved ones or people who wish to see the facility in place for themselves in the future. Simmons presented numbers demonstrating the need for such a facility. In the Kootenay Boundary more than 500 people die annually from a palliative illness, more than 300 of them in acute care beds in the region’s hospitals. There are currently two designated hospice beds in Castlegar,

Grand Forks, Nelson, Trail and Creston but only on an “if available” basis. More telling statistics followed: palliative deaths are expected to double in the next 20 years across Canada, 50 to 75 per cent of palliative people need 24-hour care and the average length of stay in a hospice bed is 17 to 22 days. Interior BC’s closest residential hospices are in Penticton, Kelowna, Vernon and Prince George. Rural Creston director Larry Binks said he supports the concept and the idea but recommended talking to people who make the granting decisions “in order to touch the people quicker.” Binks and rural Castlegar director Andy Davidoff asked why this had not yet been brought forward to the regional hospital boards. “I did not know the cost difference,” Davidoff said, referring to the $700 difference between a hospice and hospital bed. “Why aren’t we dealing with this at our hospital boards?”

Dear Annie: My parents own a good amount of land in their native country. When I was growing up, they paid for my tuition but were not very supportive emotionally. I sponsored them to come to the U.S., and because they didn’t speak English (and still don’t), I helped them find jobs. The problem is, my parents are giving everything they own and whatever they made during their lifetimes to my brothers as an inheritance. They are leaving nothing to me. I’ve decided to encourage them to move back home and live with their sons. Why should I be handling their bills, buying their groceries, picking up their prescriptions, taking them to the doctor and acting as their interpreter? I’ve paid back every penny they spent on me, including my tuition. I’m angry that I am obligated to take care of them when they are leaving everything to my brothers. Please help. -- Foolish Daughter in the Midwest
