With the release of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) 2012 annual financial statements, inquiring minds may want to know, just how much do our elected officials pull in each year?

The 13 member RDKB board directors and their alternates were paid a combined $347,000 in remunera-tion and expenses in 2012, up from $300,000 in 2011.

That may sound like a bundle, but pales in comparison to the $803,000 that 20 directors from the neighbouring Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) hauled in.

Although the RDCK encompasses a larger area and is populated by over 50,000 people compared to 30,000 in the RDKB, those sta-tistics do not rule how much each elected offi-cial is paid.

“Remuneration for each regional district’s board of directors is independent of each other,” explained Grant Roeland, RDKB direc-tor of finance.

“How each person is compensated is a decision made by the boards themselves and written into bylaw.”

The RDKB bylaw stipulates that each director has a sti-pend of $551 per month of office: $367

The feeling of anticipation has swept through Trail as blooming volunteers wait to find out how their city fared against some tough international com-petition.

The city welcomed two judges last month to critique it on categories such as environmental action, heritage, com-munity involvement and tidiness in an international Communities in Bloom competition for a population of under 10,000. Though the city was going up against some communities across the world, it was also challenging its neigh-bour, Castlegar.

“I think it went quite well,” said Dan Rodlie, Trail Community in Bloom (CiB) chair. “They were surprised of the city, I guess maybe they had a perception of this town prior to their arrival.”

The pair dropped in July 18 for a two-day visit that included a tour of the city's quaint neighbourhoods, facilities and summer festivities. The lively visit included an "Avenue of the Clans" rib-bon cutting ceremony at Gyro Park, prior to Thursday's Music in the Park, and a stroll though the Trail Market the following day.

“They were difficult to read but that's a sign of a good judge,” added Rodlie, who looks forward to receiving the city's results when he attends the award cere-mony in Ottawa on Oct. 26. That's when the organization will also find out whether Trail's youth population, particularly Crowe's Green Team, will receive an award for its environmental initiatives.

“You go there to learn and interact with other communities,” said Rodlie. “There is up to 400 different commun-

ities attending and you want to learn from them, you want to see what best practices they're following and what's new out there.”

Though it's hard to say which direc-tion the local group will turn next year, Rodlie said this was the third and last year Trail can participate in the inter-national portion of the program before climbing the ranks again. One thing is certain, he doesn't want to stop while the city is ahead.

“If we were to step down now, how do we maintain that enthusiasm? Because if you're not competing, then people start saying, 'Oh maybe I'll lay back for one year,'” he said. “But as soon as you start laying back, you also start slacking off.”

This year's focus was on heritage, he said, pointing to the transformation of Gyro Park's walkway into "Avenue of the

The Trail Historical Society has kindly offered photos and stories related to the history of Trail.

The summer heat has officially arrived and many Trail residents are flocking to area green spaces and beach-es, particularly Gyro Park. Originally named Sandy Island, Gyro Park sits on land donated to the City of Trail in 1933 by Nelson resident, Hugh W. Robertson.

The Trail-Tadanac Parks Board had made attempts to acquire the land prior to the donation and finally achieved this with assistance from the Trail Gyro Club. The area was incorporated into Trail’s scheme of parks and playgrounds, which meant that the Parks Board could develop the land for a safer swimming area and playground. A formal agree-ment was drafted between the Parks Board and the Trail Gyro Club that established a cooperative development scheme for the beach and the parkland. Headed at the time by Parker Williams, the Trail Gyro Club made it their main objective to ensure the safety of chil-dren and swimmers at the beach. Gyro Club members volunteered their time to manually shift rock from the beach area and deposit it into dangerous swimming holes to prevent any further swimming-

related accidents. Significant upgrades were completed

in 1933, mainly the eradication of the ever-present poison ivy plant. Flowers were planted along the river bank, as were several trees, most notably the Carolina poplar.

Other improvements included the completion of the 375’ sidewalk to the bathhouse, flagstone sidewalk fronting the bathhouse and a foot road allowing for easier access to other areas of the park. A lawn bowling green was developed during the 1940’s. In 1960, the bathing pavilion was renovated, the concession was expanded, and space

was provided for a putting green. Many residents will also remember the park’s outdoor theatre.

In recent years, more amenities have been added, such as a new conces-sion building, a spray pool, playground equipment, washrooms, change rooms as well as further improvements to the beach area. Today, Gyro Park is a popu-lar venue for community events, family outings, and, of course, its sandy beach.

Directors are also com-pensated for attending board meetings and chairing various committees.

Additionally, they are reim-bursed for expenses while on the road for regional district business including mileage up to $40 per month (50 cents a kilometre) and travel time allowance of up to $73 per month.

The nine municipal direc-tors receive between $13,000 and $15,000 per year in remuneration, with Barry Noll, director from Greenwood, at the bottom end with $1.081; $933 plus $148 in expenses. However that number is a bit misleading because Noll was a newly elected official, tak-ing over the regional district chair from Albert Kettle for one month in 2012.

“In the early winter when I first became director, holy smokes there was so many meetings that varied from one to five hours. As far as money, there is no amount to com-pensate for the amount of time and effort spent because the job is about public service and representing your constitu-ents,” said Noll.

“Right now, we are only doing one to two meetings a month but I am busy learn-ing and coming up to speed on past issues that I wasn’t involved in.”

On a higher scale, and one with more power, is the chair of the board, a position with a 2013 base stipend of $1,911 per month.

Directors are paid a sti-pend for their service and then receive payment for commit-tee meetings they attend, said chair Larry Gray.

Gray explained that direc-tors are expected to be on duty for questions from the public or media and there are no standards nor expectations for the number of hours dedicated to RDKB work.

Gray received a remunera-tion of $36,000, compared to RDCK chair, John Kettle, who pulled in $69,000.

Gray said each director has responsibilities to attend

official functions and general community sessions such as meetings about the Columbia River Treaty and flood control, with no special compensation.

“In May this year, I docu-mented all the time I spent on RDKB business as board chair,” he said.

“It worked out to 120 hours which would be a three-quar-ter time job on a 40 hour work week.”

The five Area directors (Areas A through E) receive the most remuneration, with RDKB Area C director Grace McGregor the highest at $33,000.

This is almost in point with the 11 RDCK rural directors, who pulled in almost $32,000 each in 2012.

Rural directors receive a larger stipend than municipal directors because they have more responsibility to plan and hold advisory committee meetings and are required to respond to issues that arise, being the sole elected repre-sentative for the area.

The RDKB function has grown into a much more demanding role that 10 to 15 years ago, said Area A director Ali Grieve.

Although there is no min-imum requirement to work a certain number of hours each month, preparing for meet-ings, sitting on subcommit-tees, reading agendas and pub-lic meetings consume many hours of time, added Grieve.

“This is not a ‘job’ for money,” she said.

“I once rounded this out to a return of about $2 an hour.”

On the staff side, the finan-cial statement showed of the just over 150 RDKB employ-ees, 27 people made $75,000 or more, accounting for $2.8 million paid from $7.2 million total remuneration.

The previous year, 28 people made over $75,000, totalling $2.7 million out of $6.8 mil-lion paid out to all employees combined.

Members of the RDKB’s Board of Directors are selected by electors in each Electoral Area for a three-year term, or appointed by the member municipal councils to serve a one-year term.

Duties include travel, prep work

and lots of meetings

The judges were particularly interested in Trail’s history, com-menting on it’s European flare seen in its houses posed on hilltops.

Though there was no clear mention, Rodlie said there were several questions around where artifacts are stored, which begged the ques-tion of why Trail doesn’t have a large museum to house all of its history.

The steering commit-tee to review the library/

museum proposal has been established, con-firmed Andrea Jolly, Trail’s communications and events coordinator.

They met as a group on Thursday, where four proposals were reviewed and the one that best meets the needs of the city and its citizens will be selected.

Currently some of the city’s historical pieces are stored at the Trail Museum but also upstairs from City Hall, where the Trail Historical Society resides.

The tourists asked a lot of direct questions, comparing European standards to practices here in Trail and some of

their enquiries had to be referred to the city, said Rodlie.

“It was a bit different judging this year than probably what we’ve been used to because you’re basically show-ing two people, who are absolutely new to this area, the community,” said Rodlie.

The tour wasn’t all roses, either. He said he had to take responsibility and show the judges “the good, bad and the ugly.”

Highlighting works in progress like the Victoria Street Corridor only shows progress, he said. Though down-town businesses unkept storefronts were noted,

an area CiB can’t real-ly hone in on, and the potential for better river access.

Trail has kept its stan-dards high for over a decade, scoring the max-imum five-bloom rating for 10 of the 11 years it’s competed in the compe-tition that invites judges into communities to rate criteria.

A city has to work its way up the ranks — win-ning in it’s provincial and national categor-ies before it can even be judged at the inter-national level.

“How well we did, I don’t know,” said Rodlie. “I guess the proof is in the pudding.”

The B.C. govern-ment is pressing ahead with its goal of a 10-year agreement with B.C. teachers, appointing a “pub-lic administrator” to replace school trustees on the board of their provincial bargaining agency.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the change is tempor-ary, and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association will con-tinue to play an important role in talks with teachers and sup-port staff. BCPSEA will be under the direction of Michael Marchbank, CEO of the Hospital Employers’

Association, when talks with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation resume in September.

F a s s b e n d e r ’ s announcement sur-prised school trustees around the province. He said he spoke to or left messages for trust-ees on the BCPSEA executive before mak-ing the announce-ment in Vancouver Wednesday.

The move is to meet a demand of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to bargain directly with the B.C. govern-ment, Fassbender said. The government also intends to eliminate essential services rules that keep schools open with minimum staff during strikes.

Fassbender denied the suggestion he is setting up a “show-down” with teachers that would shut down schools and turn the public against unions.

The structural change is needed to achieve the stabil-ity for students and parents promised by Premier Christy Clark, he said.

“It’s not about pit-ting them against us,” Fassbender said. “It’s about finding a new road map where we can achieve that goal.”

A two-year con-tract extension and wage freeze imposed by the government on teachers expired at the end of June. Jim Iker, who took over this spring as BCTF president, told CKNW

radio Thursday his union isn’t opposed to a long-term settle-ment, as long as more resources are there to improve classroom conditions.

The BCTF is returning to court this fall to seek restoration of bargaining for class size and special needs support.

School support staff represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees are to resume nego-tiations for a new contract this month, after walking away last spring because their negotiators didn’t believe BCPSEA had an adequate mandate to get a settlement.

CUPE employees have not had a raise in four years.

No ‘showdown’ with teachers, says minister

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVANCOUVER -

British Columbia’s privacy czar says an investigation by her office did not find evi-dence that the prov-ince’s Liberal govern-ment shared personal information about vot-ers with the Liberal party as part of a con-troversial ethnic out-reach plan.

But Elizabeth Denham did find that government employ-ees with close ties to the party commonly exchanged govern-ment information between their work

email and personal email accounts.

It is “a worry-ing trend from both an access to infor-mation and privacy protection point of view,” Denham said in the report released Thursday.

The investigation was initiated after news broke earlier this year about an ethnic outreach plan hatched by high-ranking gov-ernment employees in the lead up to the May provincial election.

The scandal forced Premier Christy Clark to apologize several times and fire her dep-uty chief of staff. It also forced the resignation of then-multicultural minister John Yap.

In December 2011, the premier’s former deputy chief of staff, Kim Haakstad, called a meeting with repre-

sentatives of govern-ment, the B.C. Liberal Party and the gov-ernment caucus, the report said.

The discussion focused on better co-ordination by those three groups to win ethnic votes in the provincial election last May.

An investigation by the head of the public service, John Dyble, noted that an outreach plan that resulted from that meeting called for sharing information between government and the party.

He also found that at least two govern-ment employees with roles in the Liberal party were sending emails with lists of personal information from their govern-ment email accounts to personal email accounts.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVANCOUVER - Environment Canada confirms not a drop of rain fell

over Vancouver and Victoria during July.Vancouver recorded 411 hours of sunshine for the month - the first

time the city has been precipitation-free since 1937 when tracking began on rainfall statistics.

Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist says the pre-vious sunniest July occurred in 1985 when Vancouver basked in 388 hours of sun and recorded only a trace of rain.

Several other B.C. cities set records for the driest July, with Vernon recording just 1.1 mm of rain to break a mark set in 2003, Revelstoke saw just 6.2 mm, eclipsing a 1922 record, and just .6 mm fell in Kamloops washing out the old record of 1.3 mm, set in 1970.

Vancouver just squeaked into the record books, because rain began falling at the measuring station at Vancouver International Airport early on Aug. 1, barely an hour after the precipitation-free record was claimed.

Lundquist says a new system is bringing unsettled weather to Southern B.C. in time for the B.C. Day long weekend and he warns it will pack thunder and lightning, especially through the Interior, but very little rain, raising the potential for forest fires in the province’s parched woodlands.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SWINNIPEG - Drivers in Manitoba who

get caught texting or talking on their cell-phones will now face a stiffer penalty for the infraction.

Starting today, they will receive two demerits on their licence on top of the existing fine.

That means they’ll end up pay-ing more for a licence and vehicle insurance.

Police and the province have both said they will consider using even more demerits if the message doesn’t sink in.

Figures from Manitoba Public Insurance indicate about 20 deaths a year have been linked to distracted driving in the province since 2005.

Statistics also suggest drivers who are texting are 23 times more likely to be in an accident and one-quarter of fatal crashes in Manitoba are caused by some form of distracted driving.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SLAC-MEGANTIC, Que. - The search for

bodies is ending in Lac-Megantic, Que., 26 days after a derailed train slammed into the town and erupted into a wall of flames.

Authorities say they have done every-thing possible to find the bodies.

The estimated death toll stands at 47.As they announced an end to the search

Thursday, provincial police said only 42 bodies had been found and five people remained missing.

“We feel certainty today that everything that could have been done, was done,” said provincial police Lt. Guy Lapointe.

“And not only that - (it was) done well.”He said the number of missing could

still change, even if the search at the crime scene is over.

The coroner’s office, meanwhile, said it has identified 38 of the bodies and will work to identify the rest.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SCALGARY -

TransCanada Corp. is moving ahead with a $12-billion plan to ship western oil to Quebec and the East Coast - the largest project in the company’s history and one it compares to the Canadian Pacific Railway in its econom-ic impact for the coun-try and trade benefits overseas.

The Calgary-based company (TSX:TRP) announced Thursday there is enough inter-est from customers, at home and abroad, in the proposed Energy East pipeline for the project to go ahead.

Energy East would deliver up to 1.1 mil-lion barrels per day to refineries and export terminals in Quebec in late 2017 and New Brunswick one year later.

The project, which still faces regulatory hurdles, has the sup-port of the Alberta and New Brunswick governments but it’s not clear yet whether Quebec has been won over.

Critics have already vowed to fight the project, which they describe as unsafe and unlikely to deliv-

er on job creation and energy security promises. That pos-ition has, in part, led to repeated delays for another high-profile TransCanada pro-ject, the Keystone XL pipeline in the United States.

Of Energy East’s expected capacity, some 900 million bar-rels per day are covered by binding, long-term commitments from shippers, the company said. TransCanada had earlier pitched the pro-ject as an 850,000-bar-rel-per-day pipeline, suggesting the appe-tite for the project was stronger than even it expected.

“This is a historic day for TransCanada and a historic day for our country,” CEO Russ Girling said, likening it to “bold ventures” such as the Canadian Pacific Railway, the Trans-Canada Highway and the company’s own cross-country natural gas mainline.

“Each of these enterprises demanded innovative thinking and a strong belief that building critical infrastructure ties our country together, mak-ing us stronger and

more in control of our own destiny.”

Energy East would involve con-verting a portion of TransCanada’s under-used natural gas main line to ship oil 3,000 kilometres from Alberta to its terminus near the Quebec-Vermont border.

Girling said TransCanada is confi-dent it can continue to meet the needs of its natural gas custom-ers once Energy East starts up.

Some 1,400 kilo-metres of new pipe will be built to Saint John, N.B., where crude can both feed Irving Oil’s massive refinery as well as be shipped off-shore.

Irving announced Thursday it planned to build a $300-mil-lion marine terminal to handle the increase.

New Brunswick Premier David Alward called the project a “game changer” for his province.

“It will change the direction of our prov-ince, our economy, the fate of many of our cit-izens, and it will help create a stronger more

prosperous future for all of us.”

Another export ter-minal could be built in Quebec, although the location has not been determined.

Exporting crude to energy-hungry mar-kets such as India - where landlocked Canadian crude would command a bet-ter price - is possible from Energy East, said Girling, who confirmed international custom-ers were among those who bid for space on the pipeline.

It could also allow shipments to refin-eries along the U.S. eastern seaboard - an 800,000-barrel-per-day market - as well as in Europe.

Both the energy industry and the Alberta government have been pushing for new ways to get Canadian crude to the coast, where it can be sold in international markets.

The United States is currently Canada’s sole customer for crude exports, and propon-ents of greater pipeline access say it’s crucial for Canada to diversify

its markets to boost its product price.

TransCanada says the project will also free eastern Canadian refineries from pricey imports from coun-tries such as Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Libya. That market currently imports some 700,000 barrels per day of crude from abroad.

Not only do those barrels cost more, but they come from countries that lack Canada’s environ-mental regulations, said Alex Pourbaix, TransCanada’s presi-dent of energy and oil pipelines.

In a statement, Alberta Premier Alison Redford said Energy East is “truly a nation-building project that will diversify our econ-omy and create new jobs here in Alberta and across the coun-try.”

The project was backed by Redford and the other provin-cial premiers at their recent annual meet-ing in Ontario but faces opposition from environmental and other groups.

OPINION

Monogamy and infanticide differ in the animal worldScience writer

Matt Ridley once described the human mating sys-

tem as “monogamy plagued by adultery,” which sounds a little judgmental. Perhaps we should just agree that we are an imperfectly pair-bonding species. Quite imperfectly – I am on my second marriage, and so is my wife – but the point is that we do form pairs: 89 percent of the world’s people get married before the age of 49.

Elsewhere in the animal world, monogamy is defin-itely a minority taste. Only 3 percent of mammals are monogamous. Even among our closest relatives, the primates, only a quarter of the species form pair bonds. Moreover, the very fragility of the pair bond in human beings suggests that it is a behaviour we only adopted fairly recently in our evolutionary history. So when did we acquire it, and why?

There is a new explan-ation on the table. In a study published this week in the “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences”, scientists argue that the main reason why human beings – more pre-cisely, male human beings – became monogamous was to keep their babies

from being killed by other men.

There are many species where an incoming male will kill a female’s offspring by a previous male in order to make room for his own. It’s especially common in mammals, where a female remains infertile while she is still producing milk for an existing baby. The new male is in a hurry to get on with fathering the bearers of his own genes, and if he kills her existing offspring she will become fertile again.

This may have been a particularly big problem in our own species, because human females may nurse a child for as long as two or three years. Infanticide is ugly, but unfortunately it makes sense as a male reproductive strategy. So it also makes sense for the father of the existing chil-dren to stick around and protect them from that fate.

This was the hypoth-esis of the scientists from University College London and Oxford, Manchester and Auckland Universities who published the article in “Proceedings”. “You do not get monogamy unless you already have infanti-cide, and you do not get a switch to paternal care (by males) if you don’t already have monogamy,” wrote Dr.

Christopher Opie of UCL.This flies in the face

of the previously domin-ant explanation, which was based on the remarkably long childhood of human offspring. As our brains got bigger and the amount of cultural learning that had to be imparted to our chil-dren grew greater, the por-tion of their lives that they spent as dependent chil-dren grew longer and long-er. Male help was therefore needed to raise them suc-cessfully.

Given the relatively short lifespans of hunter-gatherers, human children ended up as dependents for about a third of their lives. Most mammals depend on their mothers to feed, each and protect them for less than a tenth of their lives, so human mothers had to cope with a far greater burden than that of most

other species (including most other primate spe-cies).

In the conventional wis-dom, that was why human beings became (imperfect-ly) monogamous. Couples that stayed together could provide far more support for the children than ones who had only a mother to care for them, and so more of the children of those unions would survive to pass on their genes to the next generation.

True enough, but why would the males commit in the first place? They were unlikely to be able make that kind of statistical cal-culation, and the normal male reproductive strategy in mammals is to impreg-nate as many females as possible and leave the mothers to raise them. Maybe they just stayed with the females to keep their children from being killed by other males.

So the researchers decided to test the rival hypotheses: did males com-mit to monogamy to pre-vent infanticide, or to ease the burden on females and thus improve the children’s survival chances in a differ-ent way? The cynics among you will already know the answer to this, but scien-tists actually have to prove things.

What they did was to take a family tree of 230 mammals, including most of the primate species, and put in the details of their mating behaviour, rates of infanticide, and amount of paternal care (i.e. monog-amy). Then they simulated the evolution of those spe-cies over a period of 75 million years, running the programme millions of times to see how monog-amy rose or fell for each species under different cir-cumstances.

The conclusion was clear: among primates, monogamy was always pre-ceded by one thing and one thing only: infanticide by males. Once you have mon-ogamy, there is usually a rise in the male commit-ment to caring for the off-spring as well, but infanti-cide has to come first. It’s not exactly romantic, but evolution isn’t.

So here we are, living in couples and raising our offspring together as if we were birds. (90 percent of birds are monogamous.) It doesn’t really matter how we got here, but it’s defin-itely a better place to be. In the end, we even figured out how to love each other.

The psychological dynamics of problem solving are well known. When a problem is

identified and assessed, and when a corrective strategy is formulated and activated, then people begin to feel better. Hope replaces the feeling of inevitable defeat that is the result of inaction. Uncertainty and procrastination are corro-sive to content-ment and lethal to optimism.

O p t i m i s m can’t replace pessimism until c o n s t r u c t i v e action begins. This explains why increasing num-bers of people are becoming gloomy about their environ-mental future.

Those with even the most rudimentary understand-ing of environmental issues recognize that the problems are large, serious and com-plex, that they are deep and global rather than superficial and local. As the predictions of climate science become more dire, the mood darkens. The dangerous threshold of a 2°C increase in global temperature is now considered to be inevit-able. The scientific models are predicting 4°C by 2060-70, and — unless we reduce emissions quickly and dramatically — at least 6°C by 2100.

The pessimism in Canada is particularly pronounced because this country has a fed-eral government that actively subverts international efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emis-sions, is silent on the ecologic-al effects of a melting Arctic, avoids discussing the root cause of extreme weather events, sys-tematically obstructs scientists who raise issues of environ-mental relevance, and blithely plots a future for Canadians that seems wholly disconnected from the most basic principles of climate science.

Indeed, Canada’s govern-ment seems to be living on a different planet, oblivious to the mood of concern eroding the morale of the country. No wonder that a cloud of pes-simism is darkening the emer-gence of optimism when our national political leadership seems numb to the catastrophic

consequences of unrestrained greenhouse gas emissions.

The tragedy of this position of denial is compounded by the experience that real prob-lems are more easily solved than imagined ones. When problems are identified and solutions attempted, we find ways to overcome obstacles that once seemed overwhelm-ing. But worry in the com-

pany of inaction is a fatal com-bination that wastes energy, saps resolve, s q u a n d e r s creativity and produces cyni-cism. Instead of contemplat-ing corrective strategies, the i m a g i n a t i o n concocts worse-case scenarios,

anticipates disaster and dis-solves in gloom.

Passive resignation is a poor substitute for positive initia-tive. Without a Canadian strat-egy for addressing the twin threats of global warming and climate change, everyone in the country becomes a fret-ting victim of failure, rendered powerless about a fate they are not attempting to avoid.

To counteract this destruc-tive effect, many provinces, cit-ies, towns and municipalities have undertaken heroic initia-tives that range from carbon taxes and bicycling infrastruc-ture to composting projects and urban gardening. Green spaces, parks, walkways and stream rehabilitation are just a few of their initiatives to restore and enhance healthy environments. Within their limited capabilities they have attempted to increase energy efficiencies, provide rapid tran-sit and limit urban sprawl.

Heroic as these undertakings are, their effects are relatively small without an overarching national policy that sets and coordinates clear objectives that can then be synchronized with local and international policies.

The fundamental environ-mental threat we are facing is multinational and global. Community and individual effort is exemplary and import-ant. But the key to eventu-al ecological management is a system of guiding national

initiatives that concur with global principles. When such principles are clearly defined and assiduously respected, they inspire hope.

In this regard, the Canadian government is guilty of neg-lect, abject failure and even subversion.

While Ottawa has just start-ed to consider carbon taxes, Norway is increasing its levy from $33 to $72 per tonne to add an extra $1.6 billion to funds that will increase energy efficiencies, combat climate change, encourage renewable energy, enhance food secur-ity, reduce deforestation and help developing countries convert to low-carbon energy sources. Norwegians are debt free, with $720 billion in sav-ings to safeguard their security and the ecologies on which they depend. Britain is actual-ly meeting its 1990 Kyoto Protocol target for greenhouse gas emissions, an objective that Canada dismissed as being impossible for itself — subse-quently withdrawing, for the first time in its history, from a legally binding obligation to the international community.

The effect on the Canadian psyche of our national inaction and the resulting internation-al censure is corrosive. This explains why doomsday scen-arios are becoming a preoccu-pation of our imagination. If Canada’s government were to methodically address environ-mental problems in a man-ner proportional to their actual severity, and if it were to active-ly solicit and encourage pub-lic dialogue, participation and innovation, then the Canadian collective mood would bright-en.

The focus of our attention would shift from helpless worry to actual solutions — of which there are many — and opti-mism would begin to replace pessimism.

When, however, our national government is not even capable of acknowledging a problem as fundamental and obvious as global climate change, then the effect is sufficiently poisonous to prevent us from proceeding to hopeful and practical solu-tions.

Are you a senior who just needs a little help?

DAHLSTROM, HELEN AR-LINE — died on 25 July 2013, in Victoria, BC, after a long and well lived life. She was 96.

H e l e n was born in Regina, S a s k a t c h -ewan, on 5 June 1917 to Helen Wordy Underbakke (nee Machan) and Askel Os-ten Underbakke. She had one brother, George Austin, who died in October 2012.

She was predeceased by her husband Alton Raymond Dahl-strom in 1993. Her second hus-band, John Nystuen, died in 2000.

Left to mourn are her two children, Carol Dahlstrom and David Dahlstrom; her daugh-ter‐in‐law, Margith Dahlstrom; her grandchildren, Kirsten Boldt, Per Dahlstrom, and Lise Dahlstrom; her granddaugh-ter‐in‐law, Joey Dahlstrom; her great‐grandsons, Olin, Ty, and Finn; and her nieces and nephews, Susan Hood, Lois Lewis, Jon Underbakke, Ronald Harrod, Valerie Klusa, and Boyd Thorson.

Helen spent her childhood years with her family in Han-ley and Radville, Saskatchewan, where her father worked for the CNR and her mother was active in the Eastern Star. She showed early promise as a pianist. As a child she travelled regularly by train to Regina for lessons and showed exceptional focus in her daily early‐morning practice sessions. She earned her Asso-ciate diploma from the Royal Conservatory of Music when she was 13 and her Licentiate diploma when she was 14. She performed and taught in Re-gina, Winnipeg, and the BC interior until her retirement to Victoria in 2009. She was an inspired teacher and mentored scores of students toward the professional excellence that she herself had achieved.

In addition to her career as a concert pianist and accom-panist on stage and radio, she conducted a number of choirs during her years in the West Kootenays. She was a highly re-spected examiner and adjudica-tor, and worked tirelessly � rst as president � rst of the BC Regis-tered Music Teachers’ Associa-tion and then as president of the Canadian Federation of Music

Teachers’ Associations. It was during these years that she was instrumental in starting Canada Music Week.

Helen married Alton, the love of her life, in 1941, and their children were born during the two years following their marriage. They spent the war years in Regina and Winnipeg, where Alton, a recent gradu-ate in law from the University of Saskatchewan, served in the Canadian army. The family moved to Rossland, BC, in 1947, where Helen and Alton made a comfortable home for their family and were active partici-pants in community life for over � ve decades. They enjoyed a wide circle of friends; their friends were always welcomed in their home with grace, hu-mour, and good will. During their children’s growing‐up years, they made annual sum-mer road trips to Victoria and also spent many happy summer holidays at Christina Lake. After raising their children, Helen and Alton travelled extensively abroad and spent many winters in the warmth of Palm Desert, California.

Helen enjoyed the � nal years of her life at Berwick Royal Oak in Victoria, where she made many good friends among both residents and staff. Neither her grace nor her sense of humour diminished in her elder years, and these qualities endeared her to those surrounding her at Berwick.

The family wishes to thank the medical staff at Victoria General Hospital, including Dr. Pi and the GEM team, who cared for her and her family so compassionately during Helen’s � nal illness; Dr. Stephen Roome; nursing‐team‐leader Jennifer Stanley and her staff in the care unit of Berwick Royal Oak; the administrative and dining room and staff at Berwick Royal Oak, particularly Margot and Adri-enne; and especially Janette and Al Kelly, of Helping Hands, for their devoted and loving friend-ship over the past several years.

Cremation and burial have taken place at the Royal Oak Burial Park in Victoria. A family celebration of Helen’s life will be held at a later date.

To honour Helen’s remark-able contribution to music in Canada, if they so wish, friends are invited to make donations to Conservatory Canada (45 King Street, Unit 61, London, ON N6A 1B5 www.conservatorycan-ada.ca).

OBITUARIES

SUBMITTEDNELSON— After 12 years of publishing a

local group of magazine makers has landed an extraordinary honour — two in fact.

Kootenay Mountain Culture (KMC) has been named Magazine of The Year for BC/Yukon by the esteemed Western Magazine Awards (WMA), an organization that for the past three decades has represented all of the magazine titles throughout BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Yukon.

What’s more, KMC’s partner publication, Coast Mountain Culture (CMC), has been award-ed the Best New Magazine.

“We were really honoured,” says KMC/CMC publisher Peter Moynes, who attended the 31st annual WMAs with Editorial Director Mitchell Scott and CMC editor Mike Berard last month.

“The first thing we thought of was all the support we’ve had from so many folks through-out the Kootenays, some for quite a while now — our families, all our readers, contributors and all the businesses who’ve put their trust in us.”

“The crowd at the awards let out a huge cheer and applause when we won Magazine of The Year,” says Scott.

“We’ve been the little guys that the big guys have been watching. We’ve had all kinds of kudos from all sorts of major league print and web media titles before—everyone from the National Post to National Geographic. But to have been chosen by all our peers for this, well, it’s really something extraordinary.”

KMC was up against a number of iconic Western Canadian publications including BC Business, Vancouver Magazine, Western Living and Geist. While the honours took the KMC cohorts by surprise, the awards are more than well-earned according to well-wishers at the

WMAs and Canadian magazine veterans alike. “When I first saw a copy of KMC, I couldn’t

believe how polished a product it was, nor that it had emerged from a small town in B.C., of all places,” says Calgary-based writer Kevin Brooker.

A journalist for the past 30 years, Brooker is a multiple WMA winner who contributes to pub-lications including The Globe and Mail, Outside, Powder, ESPN and Applied Arts.

“Most of all, however, I was heartened to see that at a time when budget constraints and changing times are forcing a lot of magazines to lower print standards, replace custom photog-raphy with stock and reduce their editorial staff, KMC and CMC were forging a really sophisti-cated visual and literary voice,” says Brooker.

“The products go light-years beyond anything that one normally encounters in the mountain/outdoors genre, or most any other genre for that matter.”

What onlookers say is most extraordinary about the KMC/CMC product, is the fact both magazines are free, relying entirely on advertis-ing and distribution support.

Launched in 2001 as a tiny 28-page hand-out, and today still run from over top Moynes’ backyard garage, Kootenay Mountain Culture (KMC) has been supported by small businesses, resorts and destination marketing organizations from throughout the West and East Kootenay and Columbia regions.

Moynes credits the magazine’s well-targeted distribution for the success, noting that the publications are essentially calling cards for the places and people the magazines’ writers and photographers tell stories about.

“We live in one of the greatest places in the world. We’re blessed.

“And to be able to work with so many people in the communities all around us, and help build their businesses, we consider ourselves very fortunate. Our sincere thanks go out to everyone.”

I’ve never made a fortune,And I’ll never make one now.But it really doesn’t matter,Cause I’m happy anyhow.

As I go along my journey,I’m reaping better than I’ve sown.

I’m drinking from the saucer,Cause the cup has overflowed.

I don’t have a lot of riches,And sometimes the going’s rough.

But while I’ve got friends to love me,I think I’m rich enough.

I’ll just thank God for the blessingsThat His mercy has bestowed.I’m drinking from the saucer,Cause my cup has overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage,When the way grows steep and rough,

I’ll not ask for other blessings,I’m already blessed enough.

May I never be too busy,To help bear another’s load.

Then I’ll be drinking from the saucer,Cause my cup has overflowed.

Running on the treadmill is rarely my first choice, but when faced with either scorching heat or torrential rain, the treadmill in the basement

beckons. In the last month, I’ve found myself running indoors on several occasions because of both conditions. I try to make the most of running on the treadmill, using it as an opportunity whenever possible to multi-task. A recent treadmill work out reminded me that the drive to be constantly productive isn’t always the best strategy for nurturing one’s inner self.

That particular day, I was watching David Rocco’s Dolce Vita. Within min-utes, I was laugh-ing aloud. The episode revolved around a professor who is throwing a party. The profes-sor’s appearance immediately cracks me up; he looks ridiculous in his Speedo underneath a bathrobe. Equally amus-ing to me, he is relaxing beside a pool that is almost empty, and which he has been filling for three weeks.

The professor is enjoying being idle, and he enlists the help of an old Italian saying, “Never do today what someone else can do tomor-row”, to justify his lack of productivity. On the surface, he seems to be praising laziness. And while this is the sort of attitude that typically gets under my skin, today it makes me laugh. It reminds me of our visit to Italy.

Last summer, we spent some time with my relatives who live near Venice. While we were productive in that touristy sense of visiting historical sites, it was the moments of doing nothing that made the visit memorable. In typical Italian fashion, my relatives outdid one another in their generous hospitality towards us, which translated into leisurely meals cele-brating family and savoring the fruits of the garden as we sipped Prosecco.

Recalling that experience, the professor’s brand of carpe diem philosophy took on new meaning. The professor wasn’t advocating idleness. He was promoting a form of leisure encapsulated in another Italian saying, il bel far niente, or “the beauty of doing nothing”.

This episode of Dolce Vita and the mem-ories it evoked of visiting Italy were a reminder that we do not always have to be productive, nor do we need to wait for a vacation to create some space for leisure. We can punctuate life with moments of doing nothing. The simplest things, like water trickling into a pool or an impromptu party such as we enjoyed on my aunt’s portico the night before we left, can create the sensation of rest or celebration in an otherwise ordinary day.

At the heart of il bel far niente lays a spirit-ual intuition; doing nothing enriches our spir-it, nurtures our relationships and heightens our awareness of life’s many blessings. There is nothing flaky about doing nothing.

I hopped off the treadmill full of enthusi-asm. I’d punctuate the day with an exclama-tion mark, with my take on il bel far niente. I’d make pasta al limone and invite the kids over for an impromptu dinner party. I could taste the sweetness of doing nothing.

The Trail nine-and10-year-old All Stars are heading to their final tournament of the season this weekend in Colville. Wednesday night, the team hosted Colville in an exhibition game and pulled out a 9-8 come-from-behind win. Above, it was close at home but umpire Kyle Soukeroff called Trail’s Reid Vulcano safe. Bottom left; Vulcano started the rally with a lead off bunt. Meanwhile pitcher Brayden Dewitt (left) took to the mound for the All Stars.

First it was Powder Magazine, then it was the New York Times, now yet another major U.S. media outlet has focussed its lens on the little mountain town that is gaining a big reputation.

The trend continues as USA Today includ-ed Rossland in a feature photo montage, “Adventure Travel 2013: Top trips to emerging places.”

While to local residents it may seem like a familiar neighbour and popular recreational hub, Rossland is included in the article with such exotic locales as; Ladkh, India, Myanmar, Guyana, Namibia, and Phangan, Thailand.

Last year Rossland and Nelson won Powder Magazine’s, “Snow Town Throwdown,” an American Idol-style, vote-in popularity contest.

Shortly after that the major U.S. daily, the New York Times, ranked Rossland in the num-ber eight position in its feature travel article, “46 places to go in 2013.”

In the most recent USA Today piece, the cap-tion for the photo that features the snow covered slopes of Red, cites the Grey Mountain expan-sion of the ski hill and Rossland’s “Flagship Seven Summits” mountain biking trail as par-ticular draws to the area.

Howard Katkoff, president and CEO of Red Resort, welcomes the news of the latest atten-tion with open arms.

“It’s fantastic, you take that and the New York Times and it’s staggering,” Katkoff he told the Trail Times in a phone interview from San Diego. “I think what’s happening is that this expansion that we started planning three or four years ago to raise awareness of the resort is coming to fruition.”

Katkoff said the opening of the ski hill last year saw a 29 per cent increase in booking over the previous year and bookings for the coming year are already 55 per cent above that.

Although the resort has increased its focus on marketing, Katkoff said the attention isn’t necessarily solely a result of that effort.

“We were certainly pitching to people last year resulting in quite a few visits by people checking it out,” he said. “But we were com-pletely surprised by the New York Times article and this USA Today just floored us.

“I think this is a result of not only creating the press but the press is creating its own buzz. The expansion puts Red in the top 20 resorts in North America in terms of size and is the biggest expansion in North America in four decades.”

According to Katkoff, the Grey expansion is planned to include four groomed runs and a new “beer and brats” station at the base of the new runs and a new cable cat groomer has been purchased to keep the it maintained.

Ferster inks five-year deal with Warriors

I have had a chance, via the main subject of them, to peruse a couple of Trail Times items from 64 years ago, reporting that 17 year-old Gordon Tench was signed to play

pro baseball by the eventually infamous St. Louis Browns.

Tench, who had played just three years of organized baseball, under the tutelage of a then-young Andy Bileski, was a hard throw-ing right hander who caught the eye of a Browns scout among 130 kids who attended a coach-ing/tryout camp in Butler Park.

The late Irv Lavaratto of Rossland was also singled out as a talented dark horse prospect.

For Tench it was the beginning of a five-year stint of class D, C and winter ball, which he wouldn’t have missed, even though the only time he set foot in a major league setting was one spring training where the winter ball pitch-ers, being in game shape, were called on to pitch batting practice for the big leaguers in Florida - until the big league pitchers worked their way into shape.

“I never had a losing season,” in the minor pros, says Tench, while admitting a high walk rate kept him from moving higher in the base-ball chain.

Still, he got to live and play in Reading, California and Pocatello, Idaho, both still ball hotbeds, and in Mexico in winter. How many of us, now, seek the warmth of Mexico when it is cold here? He got paid to live there and to play his favourite sport while he was at it. Not too bad even at wages that in those days weren’t much higher than Cominco pay..

It was almost two decades before Tench moved back to Trail, and Shaver’s Bench, where he still lives.

Back home he played fastball for the Kootenay Hotel and baseball with the Rossland Capilanos.

A naturally strong right arm, an appreciation for baseball and the willingness to give the sport-ing life a shot was what it took, and Tench had all of those attributes.

Not much better than to be able to say you have had an interesting life, no matter how or when it ends.

**************Accompanying the article was a column by

the Times’ sports editor of the moment, Eric Bishop. Bishop was loquacious and opinionated and well-liked here, all good attributes for a col-umnist. But, the gist of his comments around the training camp is just wrong.

Like most Canadians, he just believed it when an American said Canadians, including people here, did not know baseball, kinda sucked at it even, on the same day he singled out two 17 year-olds, one with three years ball under his belt, as prospects.

It is true, in my not small experience, that most Canadian cities, especially then, were not, “ball towns.”

That wasn’t true about Trail then and isn’t now. Players from here were routinely called up by, before and after WW2, and had success with, semi-pro and minor pro teams based in the U.S.and Canada, and it was only three seasons later that what was once (and for a long time) the best Little League in Canada - and one of the best in Western North America - was created.

Players from here got scholarships to division ! NCAA schools as far back as the early 60s and, despite the fact most of the top young play-ers created here moved away, teams from here have usually held their own against teams from Spokane and other U.S. towns

Yet Bishop bought into the Amercan’s claim that local kids, “were doing everything wrong.” What was wrong was that superior, condescend-ing, attitude.

This is a good ball town, better than most of any size in Canada, and we should just appreci-ate that.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SCanada’s Dylan Armstrong, who com-

peted in Trail’s track and field meets during high school days, has been awarded a bronze medal in men’s shot put from the 2010 World Indoor Championships after the International Association of Athletics Federations annulled the results of Belarusian Andrei Mikhnevich.

Mikhnevich won silver at the event, but the IAAF issued him a lifetime ban when he was caught for a second career doping viola-tion after renewed tests from the 2005 world championships in Helsinki found evidence of a banned substance.

During a season where many back roads have been closed because of flood damage, one popular route is open and in surprisingly good condi-tion: Gray Creek Pass.

The popular route links the East and West Kootenay from Kimberley to Crawford Bay, 90 kilometres of gravel road over the scenic Gray

Creek Pass.Tom Lymbery, the owner of

Gray Creek Store and coordinator of the Kootenay Lake Chamber of Commerce, says on busy weekends 200 vehicles will come over the pass.

“We rate this as a tourism resource road because it’s so inter-esting,” Lymbery said.

The history of the route goes back to the 1950s, Lymbery explained,

when Cominco built a power line over Gray Creek Pass.

Cominco employees who had relocated from Kimberley to Riondel were keen to have a shorter route back to the East Kootenay, and at the time two roads were considered – one over Gray Creek Pass, and one over Rose Pass to the north.

The Rocky Mountain Forest District still urges 4WD vehicles only

to travel the route, which is narrow and rough in parts. Vehicles towing trailers or motorhomes, and wide vehicles shouldn’t attempt it.

Still, it’s open, which is good news for backcountry enthusiasts.

“It’s not a cliffhanger or anything like that.

“It’s a good solid road. A lot of it is built to main haul road status,” said Lymbery.

Dear Annie: I recently had a conver-sation with my mother. She mentioned that she and Grandma are not speaking again. She reminisced about how poorly she has been treated by her mother, even as a child.

She then men-tioned how her moth-er donates blood fre-quently, saying she is a universal donor, mean-ing O-negative. Annie, if my grandmother is O-negative, it’s genetic-ally impossible for her to be my mother’s bio-logical mom, because Mom is AB-negative.

Family relations with that side of the family are very fragile, and I am fairly con-fident that my grand-mother would never tell anyone the truth about the situation. I don’t have contacts with relatives on that side of the family because Grandma pro-hibited it. Should I tell my mother? Should I confront my grand-mother? How do I start

a search looking for the answers on my own? -- R.

Dear R.: While it is not common for an O-negative parent to have an AB-negative child, it is not impos-sible. A lot depends on your grandfather’s blood type and other factors. Everyone involved would have to agree to be tested to know more. We realize you don’t much care for Grandma, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t biologically related to you. Bring this up to your mother only if you believe it would be helpful to her and not simply rub salt in her wounds.

Dear Annie: My

boyfriend, “Keith,” has worked at a retail busi-ness for 30 years. He has been friends with a female co-worker for a while. “Marla” calls Keith on his cellphone every day, even though he will be at work within a short time. At work, they talk con-stantly. If he doesn’t work on a specific day, she calls him multiple times at home.

I have no problem with their friendship, except that Keith keeps most of this informa-tion from me. When I ask him directly about talking to Marla, he denies it, even though I have cellphone records as proof. If it is only a friendship, why is he so secretive? There also have been several occa-sions where we had plans but Keith made up excuses for being late while he waited for Marla’s phone call.

Keith doesn’t under-stand my frustration of having to wait so that he can talk to his “friend.” And because

he has limited minutes on his cell plan, he spends most of them with her, and I get fewer.

Am I simply jeal-ous, or should I be concerned about their interactions? -- Tired of Being Second

Dear Tired: Keith needs to be transpar-ent in his dealings with Marla. The secrecy and frequency of the contact make it suspi-cious, and his excuses are a way to maintain the relationship with her at the expense of the one he has with you. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a flirtation, an affair or nothing. He needs to take your feelings into considera-tion and treat your relationship with more respect, instead of cre-ating friction because he likes the attention from Marla. It’s unfair to all of you.

Dear Annie: “Too Good of a Cook” said she’d like to have some help with the grocery bills and cooking when

her eight grown chil-dren and numerous grandchildren visit. This is what we did:

Six couples were invited to spend the weekend at a friend’s mountain cabin. The host specified that each couple would be responsible for cooking

one meal for everyone and should bring all of the groceries required for that meal. It worked out great, and it was fun to sample every-one else’s cooking. We shared the cooking cleanup and grocery expense. That way, the host could also enjoy

the festivities and didn’t have to spend a fortune on grocer-ies and all of his time in the kitchen prepar-ing meals. -- Co-Op Kitchen

For Saturday, Aug. 3, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day to explore real-estate deals. It’s also an excellent day to entertain at home and enjoy family gath-erings. People will be upbeat and mutually generous to each other. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Feelings of optimism buoy your spirits today. You feel confident about your future and not afraid to make big plans. “I’m going places!” GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an excellent day for business and commerce. Trust your moneymaking ideas. However, if shopping, you might go overboard spending on extravagance and luxury. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a feel-good day for you. The Moon is in your sign, lined up with lucky Jupiter. You feel expan-sive, generous and warm to

everyone. Enjoy your day! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Spiritual matters will catch your interest today. You might enjoy discussions with others or, alternative-ly, a chance for solitude in beautiful surroundings. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A popular day! Rally your troops with flourish, because people are glad to see you and you’re glad to see them. Plus, you’re open to doing something different! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Work-related travel might happen today. Whatever you do, you’re temporarily high-viz. In fact, even your private business might be public. (Be aware of this.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel opportunities will please you today, because you can do something to enrich your world and make you feel fortunate. Some of you might meet a teacher

or guru-like figure with wis-dom to share. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Keep your pockets open, because money, gifts and goodies could come your way from others. You might even benefit indirectly through your partner or spouse. Ka-ching! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Relations with others are warm and friendly today.

This is an excellent day to begin a partnership or to get married. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Things will go smoothly at work today, although some of you might be traveling for your job. Group activi-ties will please you because everyone is on the same page and enthusiastic. (Who knew?)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Accept invitations to party because this is a great day to socialize. If new love begins, it will be with someone older, richer and worldlier. Enjoy playful times with kids. YOU BORN TODAY You are physically active, brave and courageous, and you like to be where the action is. You are also a truth-seeker and a whistleblower because you

believe in telling it like it is. Many of you choose pro-fessions where you rescue others. (Sometimes at risk to your own safety.) Good news! This year might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big! Birthdate of: Martin Sheen, actor; Mike Holmes, contractor/TV host; Hannah Simone, actress.
