Group presents petition to keep bus exchange in present location Users claim relocation would be detrimental for seniors and those with physical challenges SHERI REGNIER Trail Times

Reports of relocating the main exchange for BC Transit on Cedar Ave. in Trail has prompted several regular users of the bus service to voice their objections through a petition. The group suggested improving the shelter area at the current exchange as a step forward.

Trail library kicks off campaign to raise funds for new furnishings NEW LISTING

VALERIE ROSSI Trail Times

The community deserves a first-rate library from the inside out, according to Barbara Gibson. The Trail and District Public Library board chair is counting the months until the dream of a new facility breaks ground this year. Until then, she has turned her efforts toward raising funds to furnish the new state-of-the-art facility. “We want the new library to be

Delisa Woolls relies on the city bus to travel from downtown Trail to the Beaver Valley and beyond. So the proposal for BC Transit to consider moving the main exchange on Cedar Avenue struck a nerve with Woolls and her acquaintances who live and work at the south end of town. The group’s opposition to relocating the stop took form in a petition that Woolls recently submitted to the City of Trail. She highlights the profound impact any change would have on her and at least 40 others living with physical challenges. “Our place of residence, Jubilee Place, is an apartment building for seniors on low income,” she explained, adding 34 people live in the building and most don’t drive. Several Jubilee Manor resi-

dents require walking aids, and two are in wheelchairs. “Those of us who use walkers have physical impairments that affect our ability to walk, which therefore cause us to walk at a slower pace,” Woolls added. “Some of us also experience some pain and discomfort even though we use a walker.” The petition also circulated next door to the manor at Alpha House and down the avenue at Career Development Services. “They were interested in signing it too,” she said. “So it well represents our interests in being able to easily access the bus and keep it (the stop) where it is now.” The Cedar Avenue exchange is located outside the old Eaton’s building (former Liquidation World). It’s the closest stop for Woolls and others to catch Trail Transit and head to the mall or transfer buses to surrounding communities. If the main exchange was moved and distance extended, Woolls points out a longer walk may not be feasible for those who depend upon the service for travel. “For some us, even though we do not use walkers, we still

The dollars raised will cover the cost of new shelving and seating in the adult area, a new children’s area, new public access computers, IT hardware, a staff workroom, a circulation desk and a children and adult programming room. “This is something that pretty desperately needs to happen,” said Gibson, a sentiment shared by library director Kathryn Foley. “If we’re going to be in the same building for over 90 years again, we’re trying to plan ahead, so it’s a

find it an effort to walk and some of us do use canes,” she said. “The further we walk with our walkers, the more discomfort, pain, and fatigue we experience.” Lack of amenities, poor lighting, inadequate signage and scanty shelter are reasons local transit has long championed the idea of moving the main bus location elsewhere. Improvements are limited because the aging Eaton’s building is privately owned, which impedes the opportunity to upgrade the property with signs and awnings. Notably, talks about relocation are preliminary. Additionally, the West Kootenay Transit Committee (WKTC) has yet to seriously engage with Trail, who must be a key member of the discussion as the city will ultimately have to agree to any change. Though resolution is far down the line, the proposal is on the city’s radar. Trail Mayor Mike Martin forwarded Woolls’ petition to the East End Services during the Jan. 12 regional meeting. “It is very early on in the review process being undertaken by BC Transit to CONTINUED ON A2

The library will upcycle and reuse what they have but Foley points to old clunky built-in shelves, for example, at the front of the current location in the Trail Memorial Centre that will need to be replaced. “We want shelving that is movable so that we can continually change usage from time to time in the library area,” said Foley. “We’re planning on having some shelving on wheels so we can free CONTINUED ON A2

Trail library director Kathryn Foley said new shelving, furniture and equipment are long overdue. The Trail and District Public Library recently launched a campaign for new furnishings in its soon-tobe new facility. Progress is being marked on a banner that will be updated as milestones are made by adding a book to the visual shelf.

Donations can be

made online or in person. Every contribution counts, said Foley, noting that donors will be acknowledged in different ways depending on their contribution from a plaque on a shelf or recognition on a donor wall at the new facility. The recently launched campaign is marking its progress outside of the facility on a banner that will be updated as milestones are made by adding a book to the virtual shelf. Right now, only

one book is shelved but there is plenty of time for donors to add their $250, $500, $1,000 or larger contribution. Friends of the Library is also on board, selling shelf plaques for $50 as a creative gift or memorial. “It’s been my experience in Trail that Trail residents and probably Warfield too demand first-rate facilities,” said Gibson. “They demand it of their hospital, they demand it of their aquatic centre, they de-

mand it of the arena, that arena is probably one of the best in the province, so why would they not demand a firstrate library?” The campaign will continue until the goal is met, with a window of about 18 months to raise money for the goods and get moved in hopefully by the middle of 2017 during the end stages of the $6.3 million library/museum project. Gibson can’t believe the day has finally

come. “Library boards for many years, not just the one that I’m on but previous ones, have asked for a new library and the public has always said, ‘Yes, we want that’ and now it’s actually going to happen,” she said. “The public was consulted at least three occasions previous to the referendum and maybe even more, so previous boards have been advocating for a new library for a long time.”

He ensured community input would be brought forward and considered during deliberations between the regional committee and BC Transit. “We appreciated getting this feedback from a valued community group who rely heavily on the transit service,” Martin said. “From what I have heard there is strong support with regard to improving the transit exchange area and in order to do that, the transit exchange may need to be relocated.” Any suggested modifications or relocation of the tran-

sit exchange will involve Trail city council,” he reiterated. “This early input to the process has been most valuable,” Martin added. “In the meantime, we need to allow for BC Transit to undertake their work towards bringing alternatives to improving the efficiency of the transit service.” During Friday’s downpour, Woolls sat next to an elderly lady on the one covered bench available at the downtown main exchange. The two were unknown to each other, but after friendly salutation, conversation sparked. “Then (she) mentioned how wet and miserable it was that day,” said Woolls. “I mentioned to her that I had just talked to

the Trail Times and that one of the topics I talked about was the possibility of getting an awning put over the other benches.” The banter about lack of shelter and possible solutions grew as two more women joined the impromptu session as they all waited for a bus in the rain. “Let me say at this point, that I think BC Transit has overall a very good system in the whole area,” said Woolls. “We can get to almost anywhere in the area, even up to Nakusp, and for the most part we do not have to wait very long to transfer to another bus.” Having extensively travelled the local routes, Woolls noted junctions and stops through-

out the service where covered shelters are located. “Maybe it would be possible for BC Transit to put up a couple of shelters like they have in Nelson, Castlegar and some other areas of Trail, Beaver Falls and Fruitvale,” Woolls suggested. “We talked about the idea of the owners of the Eaton’s building, the City of Trail and BC Transit possibly sharing the cost of installing an awning or shelter,” she added. “We also talked about the possibility of some kind of effort to be made to raise money from local businesses and others who would be willing to donate toward the installment of an awing or shelter. We agreed that there must be a way.”

REGIONAL

RDCK board targets motorcycle noise BILL METC ALFE Nelson Star

The Regional District of Central Kootenay voted Thursday to ask the province’s Minister of Justice to enforce laws that prohibit noisy motorcycles. The move came after a delegation of residents, headed by Gloria Lisgo of Silverton, presented a 4,300-name petition to the board in December. She told the Nelson Star she is happy with the decision. “It is important because it is a huge issue for many residents of the Kootenays,” she said. “I am delighted this has elicited a lot of conversation and I am not surprised, because most people I speak to have the same issues I do.” The regional district board also voted to ask the Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Governments to write to the minister. Lisgo said the request is simple: enforce regulations under the Motor Vehicle Act that prohibit the kind of tampering required to make a muffler louder. She said the group is also pursuing other avenues but would not elaborate. Group member Pat Severyn, a retired Nelson Police Department officer, is also pleased with the decision. “The law is the law,” he said. “We are not reinventing the wheel here. This law has been

around for a long time. We just want to give the police the instruments and the ability to enforce it.” In 2009, the Motorcycle Industry Council and Society of Automotive Engineers developed the SAE J2825 sound test for motorcycles, a standard that enables law enforcement officers to accurately measure

noise emissions on the spot with a portable sound meter. The standard recommends a decibel limit of 92 or 100 decibels depending on the number of cylinders in the motor. This standard, in response to a growing number of petitions and complaints, is being implemented by several municipalities across the country.

Calgary recently decided to start ticketing any vehicle louder that 95 decibels and in Edmonton a first offence results in a fine of $250, for the second offence $500, and, for the third, a compulsory court appearance. Media articles about this issue across the country elicit a lot of reader interest, ranging from the anti-noise

outrage that prompted the West Kootenay petition, to concern that the petitions and laws target motorcycles unfairly. The applicable sections of the regulations BC Motor Vehicle Act refer to vehicle noise in general. The regional district’s letter to the minister will refer to motorcycle noise in particular.

When politics gets in the way of health-care delivery

ith the announcement of the government’s “action plan” in September 2011, the public could be forgiven for believing it was going to be all action from thereon in. The ministry, however, still felt a need to investigate. Following the release of the government’s action plan, it engaged KPMG “to conduct a review of systems and processes for the licensing, credentialing, privileging and performance management of all physicians across the province.” KPMG retained Toronto-based law firm Osborne Margo to undertake a legislative and regulatory review as well. The two firms detailed a litany of ills ailing the system. The lay of the credentialing and privileging land as they saw it in 2012. There was no news release or news conference with these reports. KPMG didn’t pull any punches: “Stakeholders were clear that they wanted a strong ministry who advised organizations what to achieve, provided performance management frameworks and accountability frameworks, with the organizations themselves allowed to conceive and implement the necessary governance processes and delivery mechanisms.” Those same stakeholders felt the ministry “falls short of this strong stewardship role.” Osborne Margo’s report pointed out that “some existing legislative provisions impede or interfere with quality assurance and performance management functions.” Next up was the ministry’s gov-

Issues with the oversight of nonhospital medical surgical facilities were also flagged, including: “a lack of rigorous, province-wide standards for providers and premises to ensure patient safety.” More than four years after the government set out its action plan, it’s still not fully in place.

voters in general. A lot of these Republican stalwarts are very, VERY angry. Their incomes are stagnant or falling, and as demography change gradually turns the United States into a country where the minorities are a majority, they feel that they are being marginalized and forgotten. They want their candidate to be angry too, and Donald Trump intuitively understands this and plays to it. Paradoxically, Sanders appeals to some of the same people, because he also represents a radical break with business as usual. Anecdotal evidence suggests that for many people whose first choice is Trump, their second choice is Sanders. But most of Sanders’s support comes from people who are not so much angry as despairing. In the new documentary “Dream On”, comedian John Fugelsang sums up what has driven them farther left than they ever imagined they would go. “America has become a reality show,” he said. “Food, Medicine, Rent: Pick two.” Median US household income in constant dollars is still $4,000 a year lower than it was in 2000, and the ‘American Dream’ is dying if not dead. So it’s a horse-race that anybody could win, unless Hillary Clinton gets the Democratic nomination, in which case she would be the odds-on favourite to win. She even promised last Sunday to “relieve” Bloomberg of the obligation to run by winning the nomination herself. But if she does win, of course, nothing will really change, including an unreformed financial system that is setting us all up for a rerun of the 2008 crash.

OK Tire keeps rolling

BY TIMES STAFF In Trail Commercial Hockey League action, Re/ Max stumbled last week dropping a pair of games, while OK Tire continued to roll over the competition with a 6-2 drubbing of the realtors on Friday and a 5-3 win over Gericks on Sunday. The Tire jumped out to a 2-0 first-period lead on Gericks and never looked back, with Paul Matteucci netting his fourth of the season on a gritty individual effort to open the scoring at 16:50. Kyle Boutin scored his fifth of the season on a set up from Peter Sheets, and Sheets would make it 3-0 two minutes into the second period on a Matteucci feed. The Tire went ahead 4-0 when Troy Palmer beat Gericks goalie Mike Kooznetsoff at the 20

minute mark. Gericks got on the board when Craig Clare converted a set up from Ross McDonnell and Gord Aiken, and drew within two at 7:45 on a marker from Mark Langille. Evan McKay put the game out of reach for the Tire on a set up from Shane Drake at 2:30, despite a late marker from McDonnell, who had three points on the night, to make it 5-3 one minute later. In Sunday’s other match, Allstar’s Tristan Read scored the winner at 4:39 of the third period to complete the comeback in a dramatic 5-3 win over Re/Max. The realtors jumped out to a 3-0 first-period lead on goals from Paul Barclay and a pair from Riley Deadmarsh. But Allstar began the comeback

early in the second when Corey Neal scored on a pass from Andrew Jenner, and Jenner made it 3-2 at 12:40 on a Derek Steep feed. Neal notched his second of the night and fifth of the season on another Jenner assist to tie it at the 10:15 mark. After Read notched the winner, Colton Semenok scored his eighth goal of the campaign to ice it with 3:39 to play. The win keeps Allstar one point behind third place Arlington, a team they tied Friday night 5-5. The 11-103 Re/Max meanwhile falls eight points behind the Tire in first place with 33 points, and just two points up on the Big A. Play resumes Thursday night with OK Tire taking on Gericks at 7:15 p.m. and Re/Max facing Arlington at 8:30 p.m.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ANAHEIM, Calif. - Anaheim Ducks forward Shawn Horcoff was suspended for 20 games Tuesday for violating the terms of the NHL’s performanceenhancing substances program. The 37-year-old Horcoff acknowledged his mistake in a statement issued by the NHL Players’ Association. He claimed he tried an unspecified treatment to speed up his recovery from an injury last fall. “Although I was unaware that this treatment was not permitted under NHL rules, that is no excuse whatsoever,” Horcoff said. “I should have done my research, and I should have checked with the NHL/ NHLPA Performance Enhancing Substances Program’s doctors. I accept full responsibility

for my actions, and I am sorry.” Horcoff is the third player to be suspended under the program approved by the league and union in the most recent collective bargaining agreement. Zenon Konopka of the Buffalo Sabres and Carter Ashton of the Toronto Maple Leafs were suspended in 2014. Horcoff will lose $357,526.88 of his $1.75 million salary during his suspension. The veteran forward is in his first season with the Ducks after 13 years in Edmonton and two more with Dallas. Horcoff has six goals and four assists this season while playing in 45

of the Ducks’ 46 games, providing solid veteran depth. Ducks general manager Bob Murray signed Horcoff to a one-year deal in the off-season during a shakeup of his roster. Anaheim finished one game short of the Stanley Cup Final last season, losing Game 7 of the Western Conference finals at home to eventual champion Chicago. “The Anaheim Ducks organization fully supports the NHL/ NHLPA Performance Enhancing Substances Program,” Murray said in a statement. “We will also continue to support Shawn as a player and person throughout this process.”

Dear Annie: Several years ago, I had a much talked about affair with an older married man at my office. It lasted for several years. I was single at the time, and I met him at a very low period in my life. He told me I was smart, pretty and fun to be with. He showered me with flowers and gifts. He led me to believe his marriage was loveless and his only happiness was seeing me at work and talking to me on the phone. We did everything leading up to sex, but never actually completed intercourse due to religious reasons. After a few years, I met the man I am now married to. The older man became very angry and began harassing me, emotionally and verbally. I reported him to my supervisors several times, but it only made matters worse. He has finally retired, but I still feel him watching me. I can’t prove anything, and I can’t tell my husband because he has no idea how involved we were. Aside from warning other women
