It’s definitely worth a trip to the Gulch this week to see the window display at Parslow Lock and Safe, located at 804 Rossland Ave. Randy Smith is displaying family keepsakes from the Second World War, including his father Phillip Smith’s log book that captures the moment “cease fire’” was declared.

Remembrance Day ceremonies set throughout region BY SHERI REGNIER Trail Times

For decades Marlene Rusnell has been attending Remembrance Day ceremonies at the Trail Cenotaph. For many of those years her beautiful voice has touched those who gather, while she led them in singing “O Canada,” traditional hymns and God Save the Queen.

Rusnell recalls becoming part of the chorus back in the early 60s when she sang tenor in the city’s Welsh Male Quartet. Over the years as the singers’ faces changed, she’s carried on, attending the Nov. 11 ceremonies and lending her voice at 10:45 a.m. with whomever was in the lead. The last few years, singing the verses became a generational gift to all, when moth-

er was joined by daughter Leanne Harrison, as well as daughter Kim Kleineberg and granddaughters Kim Fines and Karli Harrison, when the latter three were in town. But no matter who Rusnell is standing next to, being part of the Remembrance Day program is an honour. “I do it because I have such a great deal of respect for our veterans,” she says. “And it’s

something I could do for the Legion,” Rusnell continued, noting Mr. Harold Branton. “I really would like him mentioned because he worked so hard for our Legion and helped us out so much.” Branton, transferred to the Trail Legion in 1968 when he moved his family to become Minister of the Baptist

An office in Trail is working quietly behind the scenes to tell the stories of military veterans who lost their lives in battle. The Canadian Fallen Heroes Foundation put down its roots in Trail this spring and has been connecting with West Kootenay families, Legions and historical societies since. The office is collecting biographies and photos to give proper recognition for those who made sacrifices. These stories have been etched on plaques for over a decade but are also now easily accessible online, an initiative the foundation started in 2012 in Alberta and more recently in B.C. from the Trail office. “The value in documenting it is just bringing it back to the home community,” explained Steven Hall, administration and communications from Trail. “A lot of times, especially in World War 1, there were a lot of people who were transient, they were looking for work, so the majority of our Alberta soldiers are actually from B.C. or Ontario and Saskatchewan.” Second World War fallen hero Donald Ernest Gibbon of Trail is one of the 175 West Kootenay soldiers honoured on the website www.canadianfallenheroes.com. The Warrant Officer Class I Pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force was killed during the allied advance through Italy when both engines failed on his Boston aircraft, and it crashed seven miles north-west of Foggia January 14, 1944. Gibbon was the son of William and Ethel May (Walton) Gibbon of Trail; he was 20 years old and is buried in the Bari War Cemetery at Bari, Italy, his online memorial notes. “We really try to touch on who they were before the war,” added Hall. “These are the people who settled our home communities and we try to find out as much information as possible.” The Trail office has formed relationships with local Legions, which provided names on the honour roll as a starting point. Rob Reilly, vice president of the Royal Canadian Legion in Trail, said the local branch proudly displays one of the foundation’s physical memorial

plaques and is impressed with the presence the foundation has made in B.C. in the short time it has been building its online content. “We have a lot of these memorials hanging here in our branch but other than Remembrance Day when the public is invited in, we’re a private club so not everybody can get in to see them,” he said. “Now anyone can view the memorials, and it’s really accessible, and very well done.” That starting point is then supported by family members who frequent the site and find a loved one’s biography. They can then dig into their closet and pull out what they’ve kept in their personal record to expand on details and really tell the back story. “Our main focus is to say ‘Thank you,’” added Hall. “We want to do that all year long, not just Remembrance Day.” The Trail office also plans on sharing its work with the younger generation through schools so that social studies or history teachers can use the website as a reference to war studies any time of year but also to put a face and local story to their teachings around Remembrance Day. “We want to bring it back and let people know that these were the sacrifices that were made by your community members,” said Hall. “We feel that all 117,000 men and women who died deserve to be recognized for their sacrifices and we really just want to bring that to all communities throughout the country.” The non-profit organization started in

Alberta as a society in 2001 before gaining a charitable status in 2003. The goal had always been to highlight fallen heroes nationally, but the focus broadened when memorials started finding a place online in 2012. Through early beginnings, it became obvious that a local presence was needed to grab ahold of historical stories and Hall’s personal connection to Trail resulted in the B.C. office recently setting up shop

on Bay Avenue. Research in Trail and the West Kootenay has now become a starting place, as memorials continue to be added to the site. “We are really focusing on getting into contact with family members or people in the community who may have information on soldiers from the area,” Hall reiterated.

Kootenay Boundary Regional District’s fire halls dry up BY VALERIE ROSSI

Times Staff Local firefighters will no longer be sharing an after-practice pint in house since the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) just introduced zero-tolerance alcohol in its fire halls. The policy that was adopted at the end of October has been a long time in the making, according to RDKB chief administrative officer John MacLean, “The fire halls are a workplace, and it just seems appropriate that alcohol shouldn’t be in a workplace unless it’s under controlled circumstances,” he said. “The committees and the board spent a fair amount of time on this issue to ensure that they got it right, so clearly the board felt it was a step in the right direction.” The policy states that there will be no alcohol in the region’s fire halls with the exception of four special occasion permits allowed for celebrations like a Christmas party. During this time, fire halls are expected to assign at least three members to remain sober and on-call. The requirements of volunteer firefighters have changed over the years, said MacLean, who sited work safety and liability as just a few reasons to make the change. “We fully support and recognize that there is a social aspect of being a volunteer at your local hall,” he added. “There is a sense of community pride and there always has been and always will be. We just feel that this policy represents a reasonable compromise.” Regional fire chief Terry Martin wasn’t surprised by the change. He spent last Thursday contacting district fire chiefs at the volunteer halls (Rossland, Warfield, Genelle, Trail, Montrose and Fruitvale) in the region to share the news.

“A lot of fire services throughout North America have already gone this route; we’re actually catching up to other departments,” he said. “I think everybody knew this was going to happen eventually, and the timing is pretty good and we have to move forward with it.” He doesn’t expect any pushback from departments, some of which were already moving in that direction. “Our members in the paid on-call ranks let us know when they’re going to have their parties and our departments have been really good at having an unofficial duty crew who don’t drink and are able to respond to calls,” he explained. Warfield has been dry for years, he added. The internal policy has had a good response from the community and recruitment numbers, if a full roster of 21 committed individuals is any indication. Derek Wolfe, district fire chief of Company 2 Warfield, said the move was made in 2009 to follow in line with operational guidelines in place for responding to calls. “If you look at the system we’re working under, there is really no volunteer positions in regional rescue,” he clarified. “We’ve got a career staff down in Trail, and everybody else is paid on-call so it’s a job and along with a job comes liabilities, work safe regulations and training standards.“By having a no-alcohol policy in Warfield, we’ve allowed our members to focus on doing that job, which is partly the training aspect and the other part of that job is the delivery of emergency services.” The social aspect hasn’t left either; he said, noting an after practice dinner in house and many get-togethers, some which are held off the premises.

Trail, Area B fail to reach rec deal BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff Beginning New Year’s Day, Area B residents will be paying double the fees to recreate in Trail. The news follows two weeks of failed negotiations between Trail and the regional area that includes Genelle, Rivervale, Oasis, Casino, and Black Jack to Paterson. Neither party could reach a financial middle ground, according to a City of Trail press release issued Monday. “The city and Area B had some good discussions over the matter,” stated Trail Mayor Mike Martin. “Area B countered the city’s proposal; unfortunately, the financial level they were willing to commit did not align with the guiding principles the city has been using to seek recreational agreements with other regional partners.” Martin said Area B’s offer fell “significantly short” of the previous five-year agreement and what the city expected on a sustainable partnership level. “Council is disappointed that we could not come to an agreement,” Martin explained. “We are also a bit disappointed in the approach given that the cur-

rent agreement with Area B, which expires Dec. 31, was decided as part of a previous referendum.” The offer put forward had no appreciation for the past agreement or the referendum results, Martin added. “Or the recognition that Trail’s recreation services clearly provide a regional benefit as we offer programs and facilities that are not available through our neighbouring committees.” Area B began to review its options in May, when Director Linda Worley hosted a taxpayers meeting at the Genelle Community Hall to discuss end-of-year options. The current five-year agreement has property owners paying about $73 annually, and Worley questioned fairness of that amount compared to how many Area B residents actually use the city’s recreational facilities. Following that gathering, the regional district posted an online survey asking three questions: should Area B enter into a new agreement; based on user statistics, should the dollar amount remain status quo or decreased; or should the Trail Resident Program be scrapped entirely in favour of a reimbursement model

or user pay system. Survey insights, community input and her door-to-door discussions showed the majority wanted to go with a reimbursement program, Worley told the Trail Times in August. “Most voiced they would rather user pay or go to reimbursement, rather than have the balance of taxpayers in Lower Columbia/Old Glory (Area B) have to pay for them using the facilities,” she explained at the time. “Having said that, I still feel it’s important to have that conversation with Trail to see if there is an appetite for a much lesser contribution.” According to the city, a resident reimbursement program is an unsustainable alternative, and “pay as you go” renders a race to the bottom. Although no agreement has been reached, Martin says the city would be prepared to continue negotiations if the financial compensation better aligns with the city’s guiding principles and other agreements reached. “These facilities were built and are maintained with the entire region in mind,” he concluded. “We will continue to seek regional partnerships and keep an open dialogue.”

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Tom Mulcair is praising the New Democrats’ performance in British Columbia during last month’s federal election, despite the party’s disappointing national showing. The NDP elected two more MPs in the province than in the previous election, expanding its seat count on the West Coast from 12 to 14. “This has been a campaign that, as you know, has had lots of ups and downs. But boy, here in British Columbia it’s been mostly ups,” Mulcair told a cheering crowd in Vancouver while presenting the keynote address at the B.C. NDP’s annual convention. “I am so honoured to have led this party through this federal election and so humbled in front of the effort that was deployed here in British Columbia,” Mulcair said.

“All we have to do is make sure that in 2019 everybody understands that the Orange Wave starts in the Pacific and works its way east.” While the party did manage to increase the number of MPs from B.C. heading to Ottawa, the overall seat count in the province also grew during the past election, jumping from 36 to 42. Nationally, the New Democrats saw their overall presence in the House of Commons drop from 103 to 44 MPs, giving the party back its historical third-party status after its first and only term as the country’s official opposition. Mulcair said the party has launched a study to better understand its electoral collapse, led by party president Rebecca Blaikie and national director Anne McGrath. He said he hasn’t yet sat down to speak

Penticton firefighters get almost $2 million in retroactive pay

BY STEVE KIDD Penticton Western News Penticton Firefighters, seen here doing training earlier this year, have received their retroactive pay covering the five years they have been working without a contract. Retroactive pay for Penticton’s firefighters is going to set the city back almost two million dollars. According to Gillian Kenny, human resources manager for the City of Penticton, retroactive pay for the five years Penticton firefighters were without a contract totals $1.89 million. After being in off and on negotiations since Dec. 2009, the city and the firefighters agreed to

go to binding arbitration in 2014. The arguments were finally heard in June 2015 and the arbitrator, David McPhillips, returned his decision in July, awarding the firefighters a five-year contract with 1.5 per cent increases in January and June of the first two years, then 2.5 per cent each year after that. Because of accounting software changes at city hall, the total cost of the retroactive payments took some time to work out. Mayor Andrew Jakubeit said the final $1.89 million figure hasn’t come before council yet, but he expects it will be part of the budget presentation and planning process beginning late this month.

with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau but that he looks forward to finding common ground to co-operate with the new government. “The NDP has a proud history of working with others, holding true to our principles,” said Mulcair. “I’m honoured to lead a caucus that will continue in that tradition, because Canadians voted for change. We embrace that desire.” The New Democrats will press the new Liberal government to introduce electoral reform, to launch an inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal woman and to reject the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, said Mulcair. He also confirmed he would travel to Paris alongside the new government next month to attend the United Nations’ climate conference.

The cost of the settlement won’t come as a shock to the city’s budget, according to chief financial officer Colin Fisher, who explained the city has been quietly building a reserve fund during the last five years of negotiations, which covered the total amount. Kenny said the city has just finished making the last retroactive payment to the firefighters, and they are working on one final detail of the arbitration. “We still have a difference of opinion on one small issue, but we are working that out,” said Kenny, who explained the issue revolved around retroactive premiums for employees who were on short-term disability. “I am sure we will find a resolution. It’s how you calculate the information. It would be so minor you wouldn’t see a difference in that ($1.89 million) number.” Penticton’s firefighters will soon be negotiating a new contract, since the arbitrated agreement only covers up to Dec.

Find a job you love.

31, 2015. Before a new round of negotiations can begin, a replacement will need to be brought in for fire chief Wayne Williams, who is retiring on Dec. 31. The posting for Williams’ replacement closes on Nov. 6, but Kenny expects it will take some time to choose his replacement and get that person in place. She said they will sort through the applications and then start interviewing. Typically these are panel interviews with two to three people, according to Kenny. “In this particular position, it will be myself as well as our CAO (Eric Sorenson) interviewing. We haven’t determined anybody else on the panel at this point,” said Kenny, adding that the process is likely to take a month, depending on schedules. “On top of that, it may take a while for the successful candidate to get into position, depending on their personal circumstances,” said Kenny. Williams is currently

on medical leave, with deputy chief Dave Spalding taking over his responsibilities. Kenny said that will be the case after Williams’ Dec. 31 retirement as well, until the new chief takes over. Mike Richards, president of the Penticton local of the International Association of Fire Fighters, said the department is struggling a little without a chief, but things are going well overall; Spalding is doing a good job and the firefighters are good at working as a team. There is little point, he said, in beginning negotiations for a new contract until the new chief is settled in his job, but he is hoping that everyone will be going into the negotiations soon with a fresh attitude. “We may have an informational meeting before then but probably just to set the terms of going forward. I don’t expect anything meaningful would take place until the new chief is in place,” said Richards.

Air Canada offers planes to help airlift Syrian refugees before end of year THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Plans to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees by year’s end could involve assistance from commercial air carriers, at least one of which has already offered space on its planes to the Liberal government. Air Canada reached out to the new government following the election, offering its services to help ferry people to Canada as they flee the ongoing civil war and other unrest in Syria. Though the airline can’t fly directly into Syria itself, it could land planes in Istanbul as well as Beirut an estimated 1 million people in Lebanon have registered with the United Nations as refugees from the conflict. “Air Canada has offered to co-operate with the federal government to the fullest extent possible in any operation to transport Syrian refugees,” spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick said in an email. “At this point, however, we have only exchanged preliminary information.” Commercial aircraft are one of a range of options the government is exploring, Immigration Minister John McCallum said Monday as he announced a new cabinet committee specifically tasked with overseeing the resettlement program promised during the election campaign. Other options include ships and military planes, and the government is also exploring housing refugees in old military bases.

“Every option is on the table,” McCallum said. “Whatever works, what is cost effective, whatever will get them here safely and quickly.” Health Minister Jane Philpott is the head of the committee, which also includes McCallum and the ministers of heritage, public safety, foreign affairs, international development, defence and democratic institutions. McCallum said the government is currently pinpointing refugees in three countries: Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey. United Nations officials in Geneva and in the refugee camps and cities in those countries are also being consulted. The selection of the 25,000 would be done in concert with the global refugee agency. The UN has been actively managing expectations in those areas as word of the Liberal commitment has spread, insisting that only those refugees selected according to a set of criteria will be eligible for resettlement in Canada. Of the estimated 4 million people formally defined by the UN as refugees from the conflict, the agency has so far only made formal requests to resettlement nations to take in some 130,000. The previous Conservative government had agreed to take in 11,300 by 2018 through a mix of government and private sponsorship, but moved that timetable up during the election. Those files are still being processed as of the first week of October,

only 2,563 people had arrived. Furio De Angelis, the Canadian representative for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, said he hopes Canadian citizens also have a thoughtful response to whatever happens in the coming months. “With this co-ordinated, cross-government approach, it would be a little bit diminishing if on the 31st of December we are going to do the mathematics that, ‘Oh no, it was 19,000, it was 23 (thousand), it was 17,000, it was 15,000,” he said. The broader point, De Angelis said, is that the Canadian government is stepping up in a major way. He said there is also significance in getting as many refugees to Canada as is feasible by the end of the year. “We are talking about refugees who, if they are coming before the end of the year, they will be saved from a very very harsh winter.” In addition to the commitment to resettlement, the Liberals also pledged $100 million to the UNHCR, but De Angelis said he has had no talks with them to date about that financial promise. McCallum said the committee is also exploring the costs of the resettlement program in addition to the money for the UNHCR, the Liberal campaign platform said the refugee resettlement plan would cost $100 million this year and next. The NDP said Canadians are looking for more detail than just a committee.

THE CANADIAN PRESS A 24-year-old Ontario woman who has “never driven a day” in her life is being hailed a hero for taking control of a public transit bus after the driver became unconscious. Jessica Lower said she was on her way to her three-year-old son’s birthday party in Woodstock, Ont., around 1:40 p.m. on Saturday when she heard a beep . The bus was stopped at a red light, but Lower couldn’t see the driver’s reflection when she looked in the rear-view mirror. Lower said the driver, a 60-year-old woman according to police, was in the midst of a seizure and her body had shifted off the seat and was up against the window. She ran to the front as the bus began to drive through the intersection, Lower said, because the driver’s feet were nowhere near the pedals. Lower squeezed her way around the driver’s body to place her foot on the brake, but she stepped on the wrong pedal.

“I don’t have a licence at all. I don’t drive. I’ve never driven a day in my life,” Lower said Monday, laughing nervously as she remembered the stress of the situation. “So I hit the gas at first because I didn’t know which was which. Then I hit the brake — I hit it pretty hard.” Lower said an older man helped her move the driver while she kept her foot on the brake. “There was a man who said he had heart issues recently and said he wasn’t in the greatest of health, but he picked her up around me and put her on the floor while I’m still trying to keep the bus from moving,” she said. Police said there were about 10 passengers on the bus at the time. When police showed up, they had to break the lock to get in because the bus was still in drive. Lower could only see a “drive, neutral and reverse button,” but no park. “You’re doing a good job, but don’t let go,” Lower recalls an officer telling her. “I think I got this,” she told him.

Eventually they figured it out. No one was hurt, police said, and the driver is expected to make a full recovery. Woodstock police Const. Nikki VanLeeuwen said Lower and the other passenger are heroes. “There is a fight or flight response and many people wouldn’t have run toward the front of the bus, but we are grateful that these two passengers did,” VanLeeuwen said. “This could have been much worse.” VanLeeuwen said the driver will be assessed by her doctor, who will decide if she is well enough to continue driving. She said both police and medical doctors have the power to inform the Ministry of Transportation to suspend a driving license for medical reasons. Woodstock Transit refused to comment. As for Lower, she said she plans to get her driver’s license. “I think I might get a licence because you never know what’s going to happen,” she said.

Conservation officers a thin green line

The B.C. government declared the first Conservation Officer Day on Nov. 4, to recognize the 110-year history of the service that started out as mostly volunteer “game wardens.” This is overdue recognition for what is essentially a police force that only receives public notice when a bear or cougar has to be killed to protect people. The ceremony at the B.C. legislature included awards. Chief Conservation Officer Doug Forsdick presented long-service medals and two commendations for lifesaving. One was to CO Jason Hawkes, who rescued a family of four from their sinking boat on Kootenay Lake last June. He reached them in rough, windy conditions when they were waist-deep in water, far from shore. The other went to CO Andrew Anaka, for rescuing an angler from an over-

turned boat, whom he found “extremely hypothermic” at the base of a cliff at a lake near Powell River on Jan. 22. A second angler didn’t make it to shore. An exemplary service medal went to CO Micah Kneller, who caught up with Fort Nelson RCMP officers and paramedics on Sept. 6, as they treated a hunter who had been attacked by a grizzly in a remote area. As darkness fell, Kneller found a second injured hunter, got the group together, built a fire and assisted until a rescue helicopter from CFB Comox lifted the hunters out at 3 a.m. NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert had a couple of things on his mind at the event. He relayed a report from the B.C. Government Employees’ Union that there has been a 10 per cent cut in CO staff since 2002. Not so, replied Environ-

ment Minister Mary Polak. The number has “hovered around 148” in that time, she said, including seasonal staff for peak hunting and fishing periods. Polak said extra investment has gone into trucks that serve as mobile command centres, so people aren’t sitting in offices waiting for the phone to ring. They patrol more and respond faster, which can be vital. Chandra Herbert also blasted the government for a “donation” of $100,000

from the Freshwater Fishing Society of B.C. to increase angling enforcement this summer, adding more seasonal CO days. “What’s next, bake sales?” he said. The real story is a bit more complicated. In March I reported that the B.C. Liberal government finally made good on a decade-old promise to turn over all revenue from freshwater fishing licence sales to the society. Its revenue went from $7 million to $10 million once the government finally ended the practice of skimming some off for the general treasury. Energy Minister Bill Bennett recalled that the society was established during the first years of Gordon Campbell’s government, a period of what Bennett called “religious zeal” for privatization. The society spends most of its budget restocking lakes with trout and promoting responsible angling, but its

new 30-year service contract also calls on it to contribute to enforcement. This is the first year that has happened, and Polak said the extra fishing violation tickets indicate it is working. The CO service also works on cases such as the Mount Polley mine breach. It has a commercial environmental enforcement unit, a special investigations unit to deal with smuggling and organized crime, and an intelligence analyst. In short, they’re real cops, working with a group of about 150 compliance officers at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. They don’t get much respect from an urban public informed by celebrity wildlife protesters such as Pamela Anderson, Miley Cyrus and Ricky Gervais. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Grants help upgrade BV Manor

The Beaver Valley Manor Society received a grant from the Columbia Basin Trust enabling the Board to make needed improvements. Six bathrooms were updated with vinyl bathtub and wall surrounds along with grab bars. The areas looks much better and are now more efficient and easier to

maintain. The Manor will be 40 years old in the coming year. As can be expected, there is a need to ensure that replacements of certain areas are provided before maintenance costs rise too high. This low income facility for seniors is indeed fortunate to receive financial assistance to provide such

needs. Low income, non-profit housing may not be able to afford costly improvements. Grants, such as this, are truly helpful as they allow for improvements to be done in a timely manner. Bob Bastian Chairman, B.V. Manor Society Fruitvale

our rights and freedoms. Parliament will begin sitting on December 3rd. By that time I will have an office in Ottawa and you will be able to contact me through my email address: Richard.Cannings@parl.gc.ca . I will also be opening offices in Penticton and Castlegar; when those details are known I will advertise as to how to contact me there. This is a solemn week for all Canadians, when we remember those men and women who gave their lives for their country. My own grandfather signed up for the army in 1915 even though he was 36 years old and had just opened a grocery store to support his young family in Penticton. He spent that winter in tents at the Vernon army camp, developed pneumonia, and died before he could go overseas. His name is on the cenotaph in Penticton along with many others. This year I’ll be laying a wreath at the Penticton Remembrance Day ceremony; I hope many of you can attend events in your communities around the riding. Richard Cannings is the MP for the South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding

Federal cabinet reflects Canada

An editorial from the Charlottetown Guardian When queried about his 31-person cabinet last Wednesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau provided a brief but accurate analysis. It represents Canada, he said. When asked why there are 15 women in cabinet, he was even more blunt. It’s 2015. The questions quickly stopped on that topic. Women account for some 51 per cent of the population in Canada. Today, they account for half of the most powerful policy and law-making body in the country. Prime Minister Trudeau has formally put an end to the tradition where men dominated cabinet and were awarded many of the most powerful portfolios. In his cabinet, 15 extremely talented and qualified women will play lead roles and decide on most of the major policy files

for the new government. Jody Wilson-Raybould, a lawyer and former regional chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations, as justice minister, will have to tackle the legalization of marijuana, physician-assisted death, and amending the anti-terror legislation introduced by the Conservatives. Ottawa lawyer Catherine McKenna, the new environment and climate change minister, will lead the Canadian delegation as world leaders prepare to meet in Paris for international climate change talks in early December. Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland will have the final approval of the Trans-Pacific Partnership as her priority. It was a historic day Wednesday and long overdue. The gender parity in the federal cabinet shows Canadian women that politics is no longer a male bastion and that they will be recognized

for their talents. Hopefully, it will result in more women seeking public office and winning election among all political parties. It was also interesting to see that the prime minster has kept intergovernmental affairs minister for himself. It signals that he intends to involve and meet with the premiers on a regular basis, a welcome improvement for the political health of the nation. It all begins with the upcoming UN conference in Paris. P.E.I. Premier Wade MacLauchlan will be attending the event, along with other premiers, at the invitation of Prime Minister Trudeau. In addition, Mr. Trudeau is the cabinet member responsible for youth — a clear signal that Canada’s second-youngest prime minister is embracing the younger generation.

Heli ski application denied BY TAMARA HYND Nelson Star The Ministry of Forests has denied Kootenay Heli-Ski Inc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure application to operate a daily heli-ski operation on 14,666 acres of crown land in the Selkirk mountains bordering portions of Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park. The ministryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s explanation of why the application was disallowed listed a number of factors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The strong public opposition received in response to the proposal, impact to the ski-touring and snowmobiling tourism industry in the area and impact on environmental values are the factors taken into consideration for the disallowance of the application,â&#x20AC;? wrote Sharon Daily, section head for Kootenay Boundary region land authorizations in a letter posted on the ministry website. The letter also contained some recommendations if Kootenay Heli-Ski wants to reapply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Should the proponent wish to pursue a guided adventure tourism activity in this area

at a future date, they should engage with local communities and recreational clubs in the area by holding public meetings to understand the concerns and address the issues prior to making an application. Further mitigation measures on environmental values will also be required in a future application.â&#x20AC;? The ministry urged the proponent to hold a public meeting, but there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A public meeting was suggested to the proponent by ministry staff,â&#x20AC;? the ministry told the Star. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Without a meeting, public concerns went unaddressed. The result was that this application was not supported by the local community and recreationalists, which was one factor in the decision.â&#x20AC;? According to ministry staff, the challenge with this proposal was determining the actual impact of the proposed application with information only available from the referral agencies and public. Referrals went to local and provincial government agencies and First Nations. The application was filed in March by proponent Wendell Maki, who also owns Kootenay Valley Helicopters based at the Nelson airport, and was denied on Oct. 27. Maki said he intends to submit a revised application, adding he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had time to review the entire package he received from the ministry a week ago, which contains suggested changes to his initial tenure application. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The application requires some changes and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to reapply,â&#x20AC;? Maki said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we do resubmit weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be addressing all of the concerns that FrontCounter BC had for our application. One of the concerns, after the fact, was they wanted us to consult with the public or whomever the concerned groups were.â&#x20AC;?

School board to install cameras on the roofs BY JILLIAN TRAINOR Arrow Lakes News The Board of School District 10 has decided to install security cameras on the roofs at both Nakusp Elementary School and Nakusp Secondary School. The decision comes after several incidents of students climbing onto the roofs of the buildings to party. The recordings will be monitored by the IT manager and manager of operations. If there is an incident where students can be identified, the process would be to contact the parents, the RCMP, and the school. “Anytime there is damage to the schools, or there’s a concern with school property, a lot of times it’s reported to us,” said Constable Will Martin of the RCMP. “Off the top of my head, there has been spray painting the schools, there have been kids on the roof, there have been sprinkler heads that have been kicked off.”

A division of

The School Board is worried of the possibility that a student might fall. “It is a safety issue for certain,” said Terry Taylor Superintendent/Secretary-Treasurer of SD 10. “We want to make certain our kids are safe, and if a student were to fall from the roof and injure themselves, there would be serious consequences.” Over the summer, Art Olson, manager of operations for SD 10 was called over in the middle of the night. He was able to catch one of the students, but the others fled. The youth caught would not give any information as to whom he was with on the roof. The board is unsure of how the students are getting onto the roofs. They have suspicions about how students are getting onto the roof at NES, but none for NSS. The cameras installed will be motion sensitive, and the footage will be monitored off-site to prevent any theft or damage to the recordings. After three months, the footage is destroyed. This is done to quell any potential damage to a student’s future.
