Montrose on board with energy and emissions program SHERI REGNIER Trail Times
Now’s the opportune time for towns and small cities to invest in a SCEEP. Montrose joins Rossland, Castlegar and Creston in developing a SCEEP, otherwise known as a Strategic Community Energy and Emissions Plan - which is a living document that identifies viable ways each community can conserve energy while reducing emission of gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. Funded with $8,000 from FortisBC PowerSense and $6,000 through Columbia Basin Trust, the village’s plan was developed following a workshop facilitated by the Community Energy Association in mid-November. Montrose Mayor Joe Danchuk and staff, gathered with representatives from Interior Health, Lower Columbia Initiative Corporation, the regional district and the Village of Fruitvale over two days and built an action plan after looking at energy, emissions, and energy expenditures for the community as a whole. “Montrose wants to be a player, like everyone else, to reduce energy and emissions that can move us closer to our target which is carbon neutral,” says Danchuk. “This really helps us, by guiding us, toward those goals.” Overall, the SCEEP is another resource in the village’s Strategic Planning Action adopted by Montrose council that supports increasing energy efficiency and transitioning to more local renewable sources of energy; motivating community members to participate in community and regional decision-making processes; and participation in regional collaborative initiatives. “SCEEP is trying to incorporate communitywide action,” explained Bryan Teasdale, Montrose’s chief administrative officer. “We can’t control whether someone drives or carpools to work, or drives to the post office to get their mail,” he said. “Because we are more a bedroom community to the City of Trail, a lot of our SCEEP is based on transCONTINUED ON A3

Trail’s Jessica McPhee has already collected 80 purses that have been topped up with goods from the community and are ready to be delivered to women most in need in the community.
Purse campaign spreads holiday cheer to women in need VALERIE ROSSI Trail Times
A Trail care aide has been playing Santa Claus for local women most in need. Jessica McPhee has already collected over 80 bags and stuffed them with essentials like toothbrushes and soap for a purse campaign started by the Hospital Employees’ Union’s women’s committee, which she co-chairs. The idea was borrowed and grew quickly with interest through social media. Many local women cleaned out their closets and donated purses while local businesses followed suit with personal hygiene products. McPhee even received toothbrushes and toothpaste
from area dentists who wanted to help. “It’s been fun,” she said. “It’s been really nice to see the community support.” Her Christmas tree in her Tadanac home is proof of the overwhelming response. A shiny pink purse holds a toothbrush, floss, shampoo, lotion and other toiletries. Other handbags hold much the same, but each is given some extra love and attention with treats like chocolates, a scarf, or lip gloss. The bags will soon be shared among local shelters, including some headed for the WINS Transition House. Willi Coulthard, coordinator of the 10-bed facility in Trail, said those who turn up often come with very little.
“Women living in the transition house are in need of a lot of things that we take for granted,” she said. “Some of them are starting from scratch.” The safe haven celebrates Christmas with a dinner, which “second-stage” residents often attend. WINS doesn’t budget for the holidays but always manages to pull efforts and donations to spread festive cheer. “Very often what the residents get as gifts in the transition house are the only presents that they get,” Coulthard added. “I think it means an awful lot to them.” Anyone interested in donating can reach McPhee via email at lulu_1990@ live.ca

Skiers were eager to hit the slopes on opening day at Red Mountain and were rewarded with great conditions. Chase Eagleton, Ryder Eagleton and Xander Banes were so excited to be the first up the chair this year that they spent the night at Red on Friday. They arrived at 7:30 p.m. and were up and raring to go by 7:13 a.m. on Saturday. Asked how excited they were for the first run of the season, Chase and Xander said, “Really pumped!” They were looking forward to doing every run on the mountain, and planned to start off with Roots, a double black diamond run. The boys were joined by June Campbell, who has been skiing at Red for 40 years. Campbell planned to start her day on Silverlode runs, “to break the old legs in.” Don Thompson, general manager at Red Mountain, was pleased with the start to the season and with the snow pack for opening day. “Conditions are good. They’re a little bit beyond early season and that [temperature] inversion that we had not long ago actually set up the mountain so that the snow pack is very, very solid,” he said. Grooming went well

Online shopping has had a positive effect on the nation’s postal service. Canada Post had its busiest year in 2015 and busiest day of the year on Monday, delivering on average 3,400 parcels per minute across the country. Trail’s outlet was no different as local employees like Area Superintendent Jeff Lovick and carrier Debbie McDonnell readied for the big parcel day on Sunday. Canada Post has seen a 20 per cent increase in parcel delivery from 2014, with over 43 million expected to be processed in 2015 compared to 36 million the year before. The nation’s postal service also hired over 2,000 seasonal employees to help its full-time force meet the needs of shoppers at Christmas time.
Municipalities can impact trends among citizens CONTINUED FROM A1 portation so we’ll work with the regional district (through East End Services) with transportation planning,” Teasdale added. “And also try to get the word out for local people to try and make better decisions to reduce their carbon emissions as well - that’s what SCEEP is. Most of it is volunteer and not something we can enforce, but we can be the vehicle to get information to residents, like grants…so they can make a decision moving forward.” Generally, the program identifies target emission reductions between five and 25 per cent by developing an action plan that incorporates on-
going measures such as promoting walking trails such as new pathways at Lions Park, installing more bike racks, improving highway crosswalks with better markings signage and lighting, and fostering use of public transit. “The village is the tool that people can use to interface all the things that are going to make us more energy efficient as a community,” said the mayor, mentioning infrastructure improvements like street design, the regional wood stove program, and upping the appeal of public transportation. “We have a number of wood burners in Montrose and we can work with the regional district and Interior Health
Open House
to explain how burning wood more efficiently is better for the environment and people in our community.” More ambitious plans could include using e-trucks for public works, organics diversion (composting) through the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, supporting energy efficient building codes and possibly powering sewer treatment through solar panels. “We are in the first group of municipalities to have a SCEEP,” Danchuk said. “It’s all new to us and we are just hoping to help our residents move forward in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.” Communities have influence over approximately 40 per cent of green house gas

(GHG) emissions in B.C. and are a key partner in reducing GHGs, according to the province’s Climate Leadership Team. Since Bill 27 passed in 2008, municipalities and regional districts are required to include targets, policies and actions towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions from their communities in their Official Community Plan and Regional Growth Strategies. Provincial targets being recommended by the new leadership team that includes First Nations, local governments, and academia, are reducing GHG emissions at least 33 per cent below 2007 levels by 2020 and at least 80 per cent below 2007 levels by 2050.

Clark on carbon tax, government ads
P
remier Christy Clark sat down with Tom Fletcher for a year-end interview at her Victoria office Dec. 9. Here are excerpts. For the full version, see the Opinion tab at trailtimes.ca. TF: At the UN climate conference in Paris, did you speak about natural gas as a transition fuel, and did you find support for that idea? PCC: Yes and yes. The new government in Ottawa is a big supporter of our LNG plan, and part of the reason for that is that they also see it as a way forward for Canada to make a huge contribution to fighting global climate change. There are 150 coal plants on the books in China today. The only way that those plants and the ones that come after will be stopped is if they have a transitional fuel to move to. TF: B.C.’s 2020 greenhouse gas target, reduction of emissions by a third, is another target that isn’t going to be met. Why? PCC: When the government

We saw a lot of Jobs Plan advertising before the 2013 election, we saw the federal government do it with their Economic Action Plan, which was very expensive, and to most people’s eye self-serving or political in nature at taxpayers’ expense. Is that what we’re going to see in the next year and a half? PCC: It won’t be political. I think some of that was, really, political. You will see more information-based advertising out there, talking to people about for example, the Registered Education Savings Plan. TF: Not Jobs Plan 2.0? PCC: I don’t think that’s in the plan.

LETTERS & OPINION
CHEAPEST . COLDEST in the KOOTENAYS
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Pend D’Oreille proposal has wide impact
Managing your access: Proposed Motor vehicle Prohibitions North of the Pend d’Oreille Reservoir and NW of the Salmo River - Proposal 2096 of Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNR&O). Proposal 2096 not just restricts vehicles but intends an Access Management Area ‘AMA’ more than a thousand fold the land area required for wildlife habitat maintenance. Drivers, it will prohibit your access to areas used by industries that have created local jobs since 1855. The proposal does not mention necessary road access to three public utilities: two trans-provincial hydroelectric line corridors and a natural gas pipeline. High value mineral deposits occur and exploration continues. Public comments are due Dec. 31. The proposal doesn’t state the very small habitat areas of the two uncommon bird species it mentions, one outside it. It names the wrong watershed logged this year. The very small area logged in Grouse Ck is not in Wallack Ck. In the latter logging is not planned for at least 5 years (BC Timber Sales). Proposal 2096 misleads: one has to find actual
habitat sizes to realize its intent. Is it vague to limit your understanding of the wildlife issues, the goal to deny everyone access by motor vehicle, and more Management? The habitat areas of two birds, the Yellow-breasted chat and the Lewis’ Woodpecker, are very small compared to the proposed AMA: about 100 hectares vs. several 100,000 hectares. The Yellow breasted chat lives on southerly facing slopes “at elevations below 780 m (Machmer 2014)”. Occupied habitat totals about 15 hectares (Environment Canada) on the E slopes of the Columbia River and near the outlet of the Pend d’Oreille reservoir. This is all outside the proposed AMA a much larger area to the east, most all higher. “Numbers of active breeding territories were steadily increasing, but declined when construction of the Waneta Expansion Project started in 2011 (Machmer 2014)” a project now complete. The Yellow-breasted chat nests from Penticton to Osoyoos. Many wildlife species do flourish on the N slopes of the Pend d’Oreille. Proposal 2096 does not mention the two new Wildlife Habitat Areas, sized 22 & 40.5 hectares,
for the Lewis’ Woodpecker just west of Tillicum Ck. These “serve to protect important habitat for this species at risk (Pinnell 2012)”; surely their size is sufficient? The Lewis’ Woodpecker nests in recently burned areas with standing dead trees. The large 2007 Pend d’Oreille wildfire burned a good part of the Proposal’s Conservation Lands creating many nesting sites. Are some ‘illegal trails’ the Proposal refers to actually un-reclaimed fire roads? Are actions of a very few hunters a concern? In a proposal desiring more government Management it is best not to mislead by leaving out, or even misstating, relevant facts. Proposal 2096 of Ministry of FLNR&O intends to establish an extremely large Access Management Area, much oversized. Vehicle access will be severely limited. I urge readers to email their concerns to the consultation website http://apps.nrs.gov.bc.ca/ pub/ahte/hunting/amendmentpend-d%E2%80%99oreille-andlower-salmo-rivers-motor-vehicle-prohibitions by the end-ofyear deadline.

Demand the entire climate change story
We might be in for more economic troubles ahead. Apparently the Paris Climate talks are going to result in some commitments by major-player countries. And the thinly veiled threats are already starting to be heard. Those who refuse to cave and those who agree now, but don’t follow through will be chastised, harassed, labeled, and boycotted by the never-ending alarmist voices spurred by the billion-dollar entrepreneurs of alternative energy and glory-seeking worldorder politicians. The current US government is a leader in the charge to reduce CO2 emissions by curtailing fossil fuel consumption and will remain so, as long as the likes of Obama are at the helm. The buffoons vying for the leadership of the US Republican party will likely assure us that the charade will continue ad nauseam, because the US electorate would have to be brain-dead to endorse them to take the reins. It seems to be a no-win situation.
I confidently predict that atmospheric levels of CO2 will continue to rise for the next decade, two decades, and probably for several more decades, and the temperature of the earth will continue to do what it will do … stay the same, go up, go down, in spite of what levels of CO2 that are attained in our atmosphere. However, the economic goods and services provided by the likes of China, India, Poland, and any other heretic-declared nations (Canada?) will be boycotted, causing the global economy to sputter, sputter, sputter. Only then, and after data overwhelmingly proves the falsehood of AGW model predictions to even the most complacent of us, might the masses wake up and finally figure out that increasing atmospheric CO2 has little to do with global temperatures. Caveat … the levels of atmospheric CO2 will actually start going down when the oceans of the earth inevitably start to cool again, since the cooler water will naturally start absorbing more
CO2 and outgassing less of it. That’s a real law of real science. It is such a sad state of affairs when main stream media outlets (like Canada’s CBC) no longer report news that is contrary to their adopted ideology, or they shape the news in a way to ensure the propagation of that ideology. As a publicly-funded broadcaster, the CBC should be ashamed of itself. They have become just as opined and narrow-minded as their counterpart blowhards south of the border, but at least these blowhards have an excuse. They are privately owned and these owners are far less interested in reporting the news than they are in selling advertising by turning their broadcasts into entertainment. The owner of the CBC on the other hand, is the public (you and me), and we should be demanding better and less ideologically driven reporting of news, events, and points of view. Russ Babcock Genelle

Beaver Valley Nitehawks forward Allan Pruss looks for brother Michael in front of Spokane Braves goalie Blake Norman on Sunday as the Hawks skated to a 6-2 victory over their division foes.
Nitehawks rout division rivals BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor
The Beaver Valley Nitehawks soared to its fifth win in a row with three victories over their Neil Murdoch division rivals on the weekend. The Hawks skated to a 4-2 victory Friday over the Nelson Leafs and an impressive 7-2 win over the Castlegar Rebels, before laying a 6-2 drubbing on the Spokane Braves Sunday afternoon. “These games were huge, especially having games in hand on Castlegar and going in there and winning,” said Nitehawks assistant coach Bill Birks. “That was probably the best game we played all year, now we’re four up and still have one game in hand, so it was a big weekend for us.” On Sunday against the Braves, Nitehawks forward Nolan Percival scored the winning goal with four minutes 30 seconds left in the second period, firing in the rebound off a Jake Yuris point shot to make it 3-2 heading to the third. The victories give the Hawks a four-point cushion on Castlegar for top spot in the Neil Murdoch division and third place overall in the KIJHL, as they head into the last weekend of hockey before the Christmas break.

Jaxon Joseph opened the scoring finishing a pretty 2-on-1 with Braden Fuller with a snipe to the top corner at 5:49 of the first period for his 13th goal of the season. But Spokane tied it on the power play when Austin Breen went top shelf on Hawk goalie Drake Poirier just over a minute later. Smoke Eater rookie Blake Sidoni got it back when he made a power move to the front of the net and slid the puck between Norman’s pads to make it 2-1 with 2:56 to play in the opening frame, as the Hawks outshot the Braves 16-9. The Braves picked up the pace in the second, going back-and-forth with the Hawks until a Mason Jones blast snuck by Poirier with 4:59 to play in the middle stanza. Percival sent the game into the third with the Hawks leading 3-2, and B.V. struck three more times. Tyler Ghiradosi netted a power play goal shovelling in a rebound off a Yuris point shot to make it 4-2 at 16:10, then Sam Swanson made a pretty play in the slot, dropping it back to McKoy Hauk who sent a low screen shot by Norman to make it 5-2. Dylan Heppler then finished off the scoring, taking a pass from Joseph, stepping around the defenceman and wiring a laser top

corner to complete the scoring with 5:36 to play. Yuris had a three assist game for the Nitehawks, who outshot the Braves 41-26, and went 1-for-3 on the power play, while the Braves went 1-for-7. Joseph was the Hawks player of the game while Norman got the nod for Spokane. On Saturday, Swanson scored twice and added an assist to lead the Hawks to a 7-2 victory over the Rebels. “Did you see him (Swanson) tonight, he’s two leagues above everybody,” said Birks. “Good speed and vision, you know I don’t think he has had five bad shifts all year. He gives you everything he’s got, every drill in practice, it’s nice to have him back.” The Nitehawks jumped out to a 4-0 first period lead on two goals from Swanson and singles from Brett Roberts and Karsten Jang. The Rebels Mike Bhatoa would score two in the final minutes of the first, but goals from Roberts, Devin Nemes, and Joseph rounded out the scoring for the Hawks in the final two periods. Swanson has been a force on the ice since his return from injury four games ago. Over that time the Fruitvale native has scored four goals and added three assists for 18 CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

points on the season to equal his total output from last year. “It feels great to be back,” said Swanson, Saturday’s player of the game. “The boys are on a roll which is good and we’re coming together right now, which is good timing. I don’t think it’s huge (difference), but there’s an extra jump in my step, excited to be back.” Tallon Kramer stopped 32 shots for the Hawks, while Logan Sawka and Joseph McLeod combined for 41 for the Rebels. The Nitehawks-Rebels rivalry has never been more heated as the Hawks won their fourth straight game over the Rebels this season, in a
series of games combining skill and toughness with almost 70 minutes in penalties between the two teams. “That rivalry goes back for years and the playoffs, it’s been one-two … It’s been a long time since the Nitehawks have lost to those guys, so you definitely get up for those games,” said Birks. On Friday, Drake Poirier was stellar in net stopping 42 of 44 shots to backstop the Hawks to a 4-2 victory over the Nelson Leafs. Ryan Terpsma and former Leaf Nolan Percival gave B.V. a 2-0 lead after two periods but Malcolm Fenelon made it 2-1 midway through the final frame before Braden Fuller scored on the power play for what
would prove to be the winner with 6:09 left in the third. With just over one minute remaining, Swanson added an empty netter to make it 4-1 and the Leafs scored a consolation marker with one second left to end it. “It’s been a long time coming for us, getting these wins in a row here,” said Swanson. “We’re finally coming together, we’re working hard in practice, and it’s nice to be on a roll right now.” The Leafs outshot B.V. 43-32 on the night with Poirier getting the game star honour for the Hawks. The Hawks next games go in Grand Forks on Friday and Fernie on Saturday.

LVR class trip to France cancelled WILL JOHNSON Nelson Star
Students enrolled in the French immersion program at L.V. Rogers received some disappointingnews this week: their annual trip to Bordeaux, France has been cancelled. “The trip is planned for early March, and the students would return in the first part of spring,”superintendent Jeff Jones wrote in a news release. “While I continue to support international travelas a valuable learning opportunity for students, I must also take into consideration the safety
of ourstudents and staff.” Jones noted that following the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris, French authorities declared a countrywidestate of emergency. “If parents and students wish to contemplate a later departure date it may give us more time tomonitor the situation over a longer period of time.” Jones said parents have “mixed feelings” about the trip, and he understands everyone’s disappointment. “Regarding any other international travel, we will continue to monitor world events and make decisions based on each individual application.”

Eye-popping TV moments of 2015
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - It’s been a year of shifting sands in late night. A year of broken trust in two vastly different TV personalities. And a year when presidential debates became must-see TV. Here’s a rundown of 10 big television happenings in 2015: - SAY ‘GOOD NIGHT’: Late-night TV’s transformation began in January, when Larry Wilmore’s new “Nightly Show” claimed the Comedy Central slot previously held by Stephen Colbert’s “Colbert Report.” Then in February, Jon Stewart announced he was leaving Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” and, in July, he did. In March, James Corden took over CBS’ “Late Late Show” and Trevor Noah was declared the incoming host of “The Daily Show,” debuting in September. In May, David Letterman retired from CBS’ “Late Show” and, in September, Colbert arrived as its new host. - RATINGS EMPIRE: Fox’s “Empire” premiered in January and quickly became a rip-roaring success. Its audience grew every week through its May season finale - a virtually unprecedented feat - and it launched Taraji P. Henson’s fearless, outrageous Cookie as the year’s breakout character, complete with a real-life fashion line. Meanwhile, stars from Mariah Carey and Cuba Gooding Jr. to Pitbull and Marisa Tomei were lining up to guest on the show. All in all, a rare case of a broadcast-network drama truly shaking things up. - STREAMS GLEAM: Streaming was where the TV action was this year as an increasing number of viewers gleefully cut the cable cord (or at least fantasized about it) while plugging into outlets like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu, which all upped their stake in original content. Newcomers kept viewers’ heads spinning, including the Spanish-language Univision Now channel and, now in beta, the comedy channel Seeso. Meanwhile, CBS’ All Access streaming-video service grabbed viewers’ attention by announcing that early in 2017 it would be the exclusive U.S. home for a brand-new “Star Trek” series. - ANCHOR AWAY: Trusted NBC “Nightly News” anchor Brian Williams, who reported so credibly on wars for CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

2015 TV moments
FROM PAGE 11 NBC News, got caught fudging his own stories as a guest on “Late Show” and elsewhere. His was a precipitous fall from grace (and the top tier of NBC News) as he was benched and replaced by Lester Holt. Though he would continue to be banned from NBC, he was eventually deemed sufficiently trustworthy to play on second-string MSNBC, where he quietly emerged from hiding in September. - TRANSITIONING INTO NEW INSIGHT: Gender reassignment was a conspicuous theme in 2015. Amazon’s award-winning scripted series “Transparent” entered its second season. In June, “Becoming Us” premiered on ABC Family as an unscripted series focusing on an Illinois teen whose father was becoming a woman. July brought “I Am Jazz,” a TLC unscripted series about 14-year-old Jazz Jennings, who was born male but at 2 years old knew she was a girl. And also in July, the docuseries “I Am Cait” arrived on the E! network to chart the former Bruce Jenner’s transition to Caitlyn Jenner as part of a highly orchestrated coming-out campaign that included an April interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer and a Vanity Fair cover. - HUGER THAN EVER: Donald Trump has long been a familiar face on TV, especially since 2004, when he debuted as host of NBC’s “The Apprentice.” That relationship abruptly ended last June, not long after Trump’s incendiary remarks about Mexican immigrants made while announcing his GOP presidential candidacy. In his new role, he scored an even better TV gig. He became a sought-after guest on talk shows, newscasts and as host of “Saturday Night Live,” and proved to be a ratings magnet for presidential debates (see below). Trump’s typically measured self-assessment: “Nobody gets ratings like me.” - NO DEBATING, THEY’RE A HIT: Presidential debates were big draws and big business for the networks that presented them in 2015 - at least, when Donald Trump was involved. The first Republican debate was watched by 24 million viewers, the highest-rated broadcast in Fox News Channel’s history. The second debate, with nearly 23 million viewers, made similar history for CNN. The third debate, seen by 14 million viewers, broke records for CNBC. And with the fourth debate, Fox Business Network landed its biggest-ever audience, 13.5 million viewers. (The first Democratic presidential debate, deprived of Trump or any other fireworks, delivered a paltry 8.5 million viewers to CBS.)

LEISURE
Live in the moment, but prepare for the future
Dear Annie: A group of us have been friends for more than 40 years. We graduated from high school together, but while the rest of us went to college, started careers and settled down with families, “Ray” was smoking pot, partying and working paycheck to paycheck in an entrylevel job. He was so wrapped up in “doing his own thing” that it never occurred to him to have a relationship. Now we are nearing retirement age. The rest of us are able to take time to travel, pursue our interests and spend time with our families. Ray is still living hand to mouth. And every time we get together or see his Facebook page, he is griping about how hard his life is and how much he envies us. We’d like to point him toward services that might be able to help him a little bit and show him how to make a realistic budget. The services have to be free, though, because Ray won’t take “charity” from the rest of us, and if he has to pay for
anything, he won’t be able to afford ing to the letter from “W.,” whose it.

LOCAL CHRISTMAS MURAL RE-DISCOVERED AND BACK ON DISPLAY Sheri Regnier photo
Forty three years after “Danish Nisser” (Nisser means elves) was first unveiled for the 1972 International Folk Society Christmas party held in the former Terra Nova Hotel, Dr. Velen Fanderlik’s mural is again on display. VISAC director Kristen Renn found the piece, which is sketched on corrugated cardboard, rolled up in the back room of the downtown Trail gallery.
