It’s another delay for a skate park in Trail.

This time it’s not shaky civic support that’s halted the poten-tial project – rather it’s the federal election grinding hopes to a standstill for now.

After Prime Minister Stephen Harper dropped the writ Aug. 2, all feder-ally-funded grant noti-fications are mandated to stop.

The City of Trail applied for a $350,000 grant under the Canada 150 Community I n f r a s t r u c t u r e Program in June, ear-marking the money to develop a skate park on a lot near Gyro Park. With all the recent announce-ments of Canada 150 grants for Kootenay communities like Nakusp, Rossland, Warfield and Creston, Trisha Davison began to question where Trail was in the shuffle.

“ I ca l led Western Economic Diversification (the grant body) to try and determine the status of our application about a week ago,” explained Davison, Trail’s recrea-tion director. “What I learned is that now that the federal elec-tion has been called, as per their legisla-tion, no further grant announcements can be made until the elec-tion is over.”

Traffic was single lane on the “snake hill” this week as Back in Black Sealcoating from Castlegar mended the cracks in the old Trail highway’s asphalt.

A high ratio of occupants in vehicles stopped over the two days admitted they used illegal substances dur-ing the week and weekend of Shambhala. While that sim-plified the dialogue between police and drivers, Ferguson said what happens inside the ranch is not what the high-way police focus on.

“My aim really doesn’t have anything to do with Shambhala,” he explained. “My aim is to make sure when they leave, everyone is safe. If they are not safe, then I need to deal with it.”

Ferguson likens the festi-val to the high school gradua-tion weekend in June.

“It’s kind of like wet grad when I wake up the Sunday morning after and I

go ‘phew,’” he said. “I made it through another one and nothing bad happened. But

the law of averages is that eventually something is going to happen.”

This week, police charged three people with driving while impaired with drugs, and one by alcohol. Numerous vehicles were impounded because people were either

driving while prohibited or the vehicles were unsafe to be on the road.

By far the most serious problem was aggressive driving both to and from Shambhala.

“They scared us,” he explained. “When you think about it, we impounded 61 cars in seven days that were driving in excess of 40 kilo-metres an hour over the speed limit.

“A very high percentage of those were people were going to or coming from Shambhala,” he added. “That’s scary.”

Under the motor vehicle act, Police can impound cars for one week when catching drivers going over the speed limit by 40 km.

“That’s at the owners

expense,” said Ferguson. “For instance, there were no cars for rent within 100 km because of Shambhala, and we had someone from Saskatchewan . . . stuck in Castlegar for seven days.”

Other festival-related offences reported by high-way patrol and the Nelson Integrated Safety Unit, included 104 drug seizures.

Twenty-three people were charged with possession of a controlled substance, two charged with trafficking, one for proceeds of crime and one woman was arrested and taken into custody for breach of a conditional sentence.

“All charges under the Controlled Substance Act were from people going to and coming from Shambhala,” confirmed Ferguson.

There’s been no communication with the city regarding the status of the applica-tion, she added, “which appears to mean they are still under con-sideration.”

Davis doesn’t expect to hear any news on this item until after Oct.19.

No news is good news for Scott Daniels, a long-time Rotarian and supporter of the skate park initiative.

“We have every rea-son to remain optimis-tic,” he said. “I had an opportunity to con-tribute to and review the grant application submitted by the City

of Trail.”In his opinion, Trail

has a strong submis-sion that he expects to be successful.

He does, however, have a few words for the federal leader.

“It’s too bad the announcement of our federal election date will delay further announcement regard-ing Canada 150 grant applications,” Daniels continued.

“If I hear of Steven Harper coming through town, I’ll be keen to buy him a skateboard with our Trail Sk8 Park logo.

“As a reminder of his visit to Trail and our need for this park for our children and youth.”

The Village of Warfield was a successful applicant to the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program. The municipality received $62,500 in federal funds to repair its Centennial Pool.

B y S h e r i r e g n i e rTimes Staff

Keeping a well-used pool up to par takes a lot of cash.

After a successful appli-cation to the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program, Warfield now has a $62,500 in its coffers to help pay for Centennial Pool upgrades.

Without the money from the federal grant program, the much needed repairs wouldn’t have been pos-sible, says Warfield Mayor Ted Pahl.

“Our first job will be

to replace the boiler unit that heats the pool,” he explained. “It will be replaced with a new energy-efficient unit that not only will keep the pool at a constant temperature, but reduces our greenhouse gas emissions.”

Other improvements include construction of a permanent shade struc-ture to replace fabric tents, which usually have a life-span of two years.

“In addition, we will be resurfacing the deck and pool to remove any cracks and smooth the surface area,” Pahl added. “Lastly, we will be upgrading our existing signage to promote the pool.”

All the upgrades total $125,000.

Under the Canada 150 program, each municipal-ity must commit to match-ing the federal dollars, so Warfield’s share is also $62,500, explained Jackie Patridge, village corporate officer.

The village received more good news during the grant application process, but this time from Columbia Basin Trust (CBT).

“We received notice from CBT that if we sent an appli-cation to them, they would consider paying half of our half, ($31,250),” she said. “So we did.”

The plan is to imple-ment repairs over two years,

beginning next spring.“We are beyond excited

about this grant,” Patridge added. “Our outdoor pool is well used by the residents of Warfield as well as many residents in the surround-ing area.”

The last major renova-tion was completed in 2003, with a donation from the Warfield Credit Union Legacy Project for a water slide and spray park.

“So, we are extremely grateful to the Western Economic Diversification Department (grant body) for selecting our applica-tion,” she said. “And we are grateful to Columbia Basin Trust for their contribution as well.”

B y T i m e S S T a f fTaking that first gasp of fresh air Thursday

morning could have been met with coughing for some local residents.

Smoke continues to travel in from fires in Washington and California, according to Karlie Shaughnessy, Southeast Fire Centre's communications specialist.

Smoke can travel long distances but gen-erally stays in the mid to upper elevations so you can see it but can’t smell it, according to Jesse Ellis, a forecaster from the Southeast Fire Centre.

That is “until there is some kind of an event that causes the atmosphere to mix the higher level smoke down to the surface.”

However, there is a very small lightning-caused fire, 2.1 hectares in size, burning up Big Sheep Creek, west of Rossland.

Fifteen personnel and one helicop-ter attended the scene Thursday, added Shaughnessy.

The centre continues to keep a close eye on Hidden Creek near Salmo, where a small-scale burn-out operation is underway.

Provincial government ecologists deter-mine that fires can help increase biodiversity, so those particular fires are left to burn as modified response fires under the supervision of BC Wildfire Services personnel.

Smoky sky still from

By Will Johnson Nelson Star

One of the tracks on Nelson musician Evan Amies-Galonski’s debut album Shadows Cast, “Winters on its Way,” is a nearly eight-minute instrumental piece inspired by the seasons of Haida Gwaii.

Composed with band-mate Jay Myers, whom he met on the island, the song is a jammy, experimental explora-tion with a vaguely psychedelic vibe.

It’s also the first song they play at their live shows.

“We were coming

back to Haida Gwaii and getting ready to hunker down for the winter, because it gets really dark and you need something to do. Making music is what we did,” Amies-Galonski told the Star, while on tour across the prov-ince. He’s scheduled to play at The Royal on Baker on Aug. 22.

“That was the only song we wrote togeth-er, because normally we both write our own songs. Then one day we had two guitars, we were just messing around and tuning, making stuff up.”

That’s when they were inspired to com-bine their efforts.

“Once we put all our parts together it ended

up being like seven minutes long. We had to find a way to remem-ber all the parts, so we started thinking of it as a seasonal song.”

Flourishes over the course of the song mimic aspects of the weather, and take lis-teners on a journey through the trans-forming landscape.

“We named each part of the song after a differ-ent weather event. One part would be called cool wind, or friendly storms, or leaves fall-ing.”

Partway across the province on a release tour, the pair have worked their way from Prince Rupert through Terrace and down to Vancouver. Amies-

Galonski said as a band they want to explore both darkness and light.

“Our name came from a song I wrote

quite a while ago, and it had some elements of darkness and a heav-ierness. But there’s a lot of light as well, and

that was a way for us to explore both sides of shadows being cast — because they also require light to be created.”

T h E C A n A D i A n P R E s sMONTREAL - Bob Fillion,

who played seven seasons for the Montreal Canadiens in the 1940s, has died, the NHL club announced Thursday.

Fillion, 94, who won Stanley Cups in 1944 and 1946, became the oldest surviving Canadien when his former teammate Elmer Lach died at 97 in April.

Rejean Houle, a Canadiens pub-lic relations ambassador and head of the team’s alumni association, said Fillion attended most of the team’s home games in recent years until he took ill near the end of last season.

“He had the problems of old age; I guess you could say he died of nat-ural causes,” said Houle. “He was a real Montreal Canadiens fan.

“He always came to the building and took notes. He followed the team very closely.”

The Thetford Mines, Que., native had 42 goals and 61 assists in 327 career NHL games, all for the Canadiens. The mainly defensive

left-winger, who often played on a line with Ken Mosdell and Murph Chamberlain, added seven goals and four assists in 33 playoff games.

His most productive season was his rookie year in 1943-44, when he had seven goals and 30 points. He had a career-high 10 goals in 1945-46, and then shone in the post-season with seven points in nine games to help Montreal win the Stanley Cup.

He played for the Canadiens till 1949-50 and retired after a season with the Sherbrooke Saints of the Quebec Senior Hockey League in 1950-51.

After his hockey career, he worked as a manager at a mine in his home town. In recent years he lived in St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, Que.

Fillion came from a family of seven hockey-playing brothers. Only one of his brothers, Marcel, made it to the NHL, playing one game for the Boston Bruins in 1944-45. The others played in sen-ior and minor pro leagues.

T h E A s s o C i A T E D P R E s sJohn Nerud, a thoroughbred racing

pioneer who trained the great Dr. Fager and helped create the Breeders’ Cup, has died. He was 102.

The National Museum and Racing Hall of Fame issued a statement Thursday,

which said his daughter-in-law, Debra Nerud, confirmed Nerud died of heart failure at his home in Old Brookville, New York.

During his 44-year training career mostly for Tartan Farms, Nerud won more than 1,000 races. His top horse

was Dr. Fager, the first to win four championships in one year. In 1968, Dr. Fager was cham-pion top sprinter, turf horse and handicap horse and chosen Horse of the Year. He won 18 of 22 career races.

Among other champions he trained were Delegate (1949), Intentionally (1950), Ta Wee (1969-70), and Dr. Patches (1978).

In 1957, Nerud was on the short end of one of the strangest finishes in Kentucky Derby history. Gallant Man, with Bill Shoemaker aboard, lost by a nose to Iron Liege after the Hall of Fame rider misjudged the finish line. A few weeks later, Gallant Man came back and won the Belmont Stakes.

Nerud was inducted into racing’s Hall of Fame in 1972.

Vancouver Police say a “substantial” organized crime group is linked to a marijuana store where officers executed a search warrant and arrested one employee.

Sgt. Randy Fincham said officers raided the Limelife Society store in east Vancouver on Wednesday afternoon. He would not say which gang is believed to be involved.

“The group that we’re talking about is a fairly substantial group,” said Fincham. “Certainly not the entire group, but indi-

viduals connected to that one illegal mari-juana store were allegedly connected to or part of a larger crime group.”

A 25-year-old male employee was released without charges. Police raided a suite upstairs that they say is connected to the pot shop but did not make other arrests.

Fincham said evidence was seized from the store to assist with the ongoing inves-tigation but he would not say what was confiscated.

Members of the Vancouver Police drug unit have watched the store for about a month following complaints that it was connected to organized crime.

Fincham said officers quickly deter-

mined the outlet was selling to youth and people without valid medical marijuana licenses.

He said police are not investigating the Limelife Society’s three other stores in Vancouver.

“Certainly, there are other marijuana stores that we’re monitoring,” he said. “Every one of those stores is on a case-by-case basis. We wouldn’t group (together) a particular name of a store and automatically target the other ones as well, unless we had evidence to suggest that was necessary.”

Vancouver recently became the first city in Canada to regulate the illegal mari-juana dispensaries, requiring oper-ators to pay a $30,000 licensing fee

and locate at least 300 metres away from community centres, schools, and each other. There are more than 80 dispensaries operat-ing in the city.

Fincham said the VPD remains focused on stopping violent drug traffickers and those who jeopardize the safety of young or vulnerable residents.

To date, he said 11 warrants have been served on marijuana stores across Vancouver and 20 people have been arrested with 29 charges recommended.

But he said police are strapped for resour-ces when it comes to investigating pot shops.

TORONTO - More than 150 crocodiles and alligators have been rescued from a Toronto home and taken to a reptile sanctuary.

The Indian River Reptile Zoo, located east of Peterborough, Ont., said the homeowners approached the sanctuary about a year ago when the reptiles began out-growing the enclosures in which they were kept.

“They told me the num-ber and I was like, ‘Yeah right.’ So I went down and had a look, and sure enough it was true,” zoo founder Bry Loyst said.

Loyst said the married couple handed over the crocodiles along with some money, which the sanctuary used to expand its crocodile rescue building.

The voluntary surren-der was the best possible outcome for the reptiles, he said, since people illegally keeping exotic pets typically sell or abandon the animals when they realize they can no longer take care of them.

It took the sanctuary more than 20 volunteers and four days last week to remove the reptiles from the home and transport them by truck to the facility.

Loyst said the ages of the

crocodiles are unknown, but they range in size from 1.2 to 3.3 metres long. The ani-mals were all healthy and did not need veterinary care.

He said he’s unsure how the couple obtained the rep-tiles, where they came from or how they took care of them.

“They did the right thing by donating them to a better place,” he said. “We don’t question or yell or scream at them or say, ‘You’re stupid for buying an alligator, let alone 150 of them.”

The sanctuary will open the crocodile building to the public next summer for viewing, but Loyst said the

facility’s highest priority now is ensuring the croco-diles stay healthy and don’t become too agitated about the recent move or changes to their surroundings.

Crocodiles can die from buildups of acid in their bloodstreams as a result of stress, he said.

“They’re so scared. They’re not used to being able to get away,” Loyst said.

“Soon they’ll calm down and relax and realize, ‘When I see someone, they’re not coming in to try and touch me or hurt me.”’

Toronto bylaws list croco-diles and alligators as pro-hibited animals.

TORONTO - The Ontario Energy Board says the environmental risks of the $12-billion Energy East pipe-line project outweigh the potential benefits, and warns it will drive up natural gas prices.

“What we have found is there is an imbalance between the economic and environmental risks of the project and the expected benefits for Ontarians,” said OEB vice-president Peter Fraser as he released a report on Energy East.

TransCanada Corp. (TSX:TRP) is planning to build the pipeline to bring Alberta crude to refineries in Quebec and to a refinery and marine terminal in Saint John, N.B. For two-thirds of the way, it plans to convert a natural gas pipeline for oil and then build all new pipe through Quebec and New Brunswick.

After 15 months of con-

sultations with people in communities along the Ontario route of the pipe-line, the energy board found residents are worried about leaks.

“The top concern expressed was the risk of an oil spill as the pipeline runs near or across many water-ways,” said Fraser. “Our advice is that for the existing pipeline, when it is too close to environmentally sensitive areas, it should be rerouted unless it can be justified by TransCanada as necessary.”

The OEB report also said residents are rightly con-cerned the project could drive up natural gas prices. Its technical experts found there will be higher nat-ural gas prices as a result of Energy East because there will be less supply.

“They estimated that on average, over a 20-year period, in the winter time, natural gas prices in east-ern Ontario will be 11.9 per cent higher than if Energy

East did not go ahead,” said Fraser.

Union Gas Limited, a nat-ural gas storage, transmis-sion and distribution com-pany based in Ontario, said it reached the same conclu-sion.

“We want assurance that Ontario natural gas custom-ers will not bear the costs and risks related to the Energy East oil pipeline, and we continue to be open to finding a satisfactory reso-lution of these issues with TransCanada,” said Union Gas president Steve Baker.

TransCanada pointed out the benefits of deliv-ering Alberta crude to the Maritimes, saying eastern Canada imports more than 600,000 barrels of oil a day that could be replaced “from a secure supply right here in Canada in the safest possible way, by pipeline.”

The company said it wants to address the concerns raised in the OEB report.

Economic, environment risks outweigh benefits: Ont.

Canadian Mike Elgar posted a photo of bags of Tim Mortons Mocha Gold Coffee Mix on Instagram on Sunday.

The fraudulent coffee uses a logo that is nearly identi-cal to that of the cof-fee chain.

Tim Hortons s p o k e s w o m a n Michelle Robichaud said the company is thrilled to see that its brand is recognized all over the world, but added that the com-pany will be vigilant in protecting its intel-lectual property.

OPINION

Grandchildren bring back memoriesSince our first grand-

daughter was a baby we have looked after her, and later her

brother too, while her par-ents went on vacations. The last two years have each included weeklong visits to Creston, so the kids get a change of scenery from their home in Calgary.

Now six and three years old, the little ones are active and chatty, and endlessly entertaining. And each time they visit I am transported back to my own childhood, when every June I started harassing my dad to find me a ride from Calgary to Fernie so that I could spend time with his parents. Those summers with my grandparents cre-ated lifelong memories, and I hope the same is hap-pening on our visits from Quinn and Wilson.

The contrast in those visits and mine are dramat-ic, not surprising because a half-century separates them. They are brought to Creston by their parents, who make sure they stay a day or two to get the kids settled in. I arrived at my grandparents’ door, suitcase in hand, in the company of a driver, then

knocked and waited for my grandmother — Mom, as she was known to her grandchildren — to answer with a big welcoming hug. A minute later my grand-dad — Pop — would arrive, having made the walk from his chair in the living room. From him I got a hand-shake. We never hugged, not one single time, to my memory.

I still raise my eyebrows in wonder each time we drive past that home and yard just west of the West Fernie bridge. As a child, I thought the two-bedroom house was large, and that the one-third-acre property was enormous. A workshop, storage shed and green-house provided endless hours of amusement, as did the huge flower and vege-table garden. The immacu-late lawns were strewn with lawn ornaments, cut from plywood and painted by Pop, the prototypical English gentlemen who moved slowly but steadily, keeping the place neat and tidy. The pink flamingoes and family of skunks were my favourite ornaments.

Pop’s garden was so lush and attractive that people would stop on their drive

by on Highway 3 and ask if they could purchase flowers. Hundreds of gladi-oli in every colour imagin-able were the main attrac-tion, and he would cut a dozen and arrange sprigs of baby’s breath around them while he chatted with the visitors. In the cooler even-ings — was the weather ever not nice back then? — Mom and I would join Pop in the garden to pick raspberries or carrots or my favourites, peas, which we would then shuck while sitting on wooden chairs, also made by Pop.

On Tuesday and Thursday evenings, my uncle would typically pick me up on his way out to Lizard or Coal Creek to fly fish. Occasionally I

would make the walk up to Fernie’s North End to visit Grandpa, my mother’s dad. Most days involved a walk (there was no car) uptown to pick up the mail (and say hi to my godfather, who was the postmaster), shop for groceries (which were then delivered) or pick up maga-zines at the drug store. Pop was a great reader and he had magazines put aside when the store got its ship-ment. From under the counter the clerk would bring up the latest issues of Popular Science, Popular Mechanics and others, including a selection of magazines on professional wrestling, his favourite TV entertainment.

In the living room, I always kept a stack of those magazines, going through them one by one, while I was watching television, when Mom would allow. Spokane stations were exotic fare for a Calgary kid. We sat in wonder when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon’s surface. I developed a fascination with politics by watching live coverage of Democratic and Republican presidential conventions. The tumultu-ous Republican convention

in Chicago in 1968 still has a place in my memory. Saturdays were wrestling days and Pop and I sat, eyes glued to the screen.

Today, there is no tele-vision feed to our house, but the kids get some access each day to the iPad their dad leaves behind. Each day they have several activ-ities — the pool (“Creston”, as Wilson calls it), splash park, wildlife centre, play-grounds, stops at Dairy Queen and “nature walks” so Quinn can collect craft supplies. The days allow us to bond with the kids, as I did with my grandparents, and provide us with plenty of amusement.

Like when Angela, on the evening before the par-ents came back, asked the kids what their favourite things had been during the week. A twinkle came into Wilson’s eye as he called out, “The trampoline!” We all burst into laughter. There had been no tram-poline and somehow, even at the age of three, Wilson knew his answer would be funny. We will never forget it.

An election cam-paign is a con-test, not for the party faithful,

but for the undecid-ed voters who could tilt toward any of the major choices under the right circum-stances.

But, just as the outdated consumer loyalty to a certain automotive has gone out the window, so too has party loyalty. Votes are no longer passed from father to son the way they once were.

The size of the swing vote can vary – the less the vot-ers connect with the parties and their plat-forms, the more likely they are to sit on the fence, awaiting some-thing that will win them over. That is the case for one in 10 of the completely undecided voters so far, according to an Ipsos poll con-ducted for Global News and released this week.

Although it is much too soon to draw con-clusions in this excep-tionally long cam-paign, it is a troubling sign for all three of the major parties. In spite of a lively leaders’ debate last week, no leader has been able to set a fire in the bel-lies of the supporters they need to win if they hope to form govern-

ment. Think of it as a failure to launch.

It is also a good reason why no gov-ernment will ever put “None of the above” as a ballot option.

Too many voters would feel compelled to tick that box.

The voter ambiva-lence has to be particu-larly troubling, how-ever, for the incum-bent Conservatives.

Not being in a clear lead in the early going effectively puts the party behind the challengers, because it means some of the voters who gave them a mandate last time around aren’t so sure they’ll do the same again.

The Ipsos poll con-firms that: It found that only four in 10 decided voters are ‘absolutely certain’ of their vote choice. Of those,

roughly one-quarter name the Liberals as their second choice and roughly the same number the NDP. Less than one voter in 10 says the Tories would be their second choice.

That ambiva-lence was apparent when I reached out to friends this week in social media. My friends range from true blue conserva-tives to those firmly on left. Regardless of stripe, their comments reflected what the poll-ing tells us.

“I’m a card-carry-ing PC member, and have been completely turned off by the rhet-oric from the PCs of late,” wrote one. “. . . All scare tactics. All fear-mongering. I feel like the party has lost touch with what it actually means to be a conservative.”

“Quite honestly it’s a saw-off between voting with my heart and voting with my head, between my con-science and my pocket-book,” wrote another. “But I can say, I won’t vote Liberal.”

“I am hovering in the none-of-the-above category for now,” wrote another.

This makes for an exciting ground war. The promises made; the scandals exposed; the fumbles and foibles

of each of the parties will be dissected in and out, the way a psychic reads the tea leaves.

After Labour Day, that is, when voters start watching the campaign in earnest.

Which brings a key point to mind. It feels like the party that ultimately wins this election will be the one that finds a way to con-nect with Canadians in an authentic way.

That will require the leaders to get off the contrived and heav-ily scripted messages, to listen carefully to what they hear on the hustings and to actual-ly answer the questions that are put to them, rather than reciting a carefully rehearsed script.

Part of the sea change in Canada’s political landscape is the growing rebellion against the obvious and cynical manipula-tion of facts.

The Conservatives have been attacked for this, but neither of the two major challengers are innocent either.

If we can truly get to honest conver-sations, then there might be hope yet for democracy in this country.

An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press

It is already a criminal act for Canadians to aid or engage in terrorist activity, at home or abroad. That should cover ter-rorist wannabes who head over-seas to join the Islamic State or any other organization Canada may one day oppose in inter-national conflict. That’s hardly news on a campaign trail.

But on Sunday, Conservative Leader Stephen Harper found a way to ratchet up the anti-ter-rorism rhetoric, announcing if re-elected, his party would pass a law banning travel overseas to regions under the control of terrorist organizations. No need to prove intent for ter-rorism. Just being in the area presumes guilt.

Mr. Harper’s promise to ban travel to yet-to-be-named for-eign hot spots will have limited, if any, effect on homegrown wannabe terrorists — although now they’ll have to resist the temptation to take selfies in no-go zones.

It will, however, make it unnecessarily difficult for the relatively few Canadians with legitimate reason to fly to countries in conflict. The most obvious of those would be Iraq and Syria, where IS is waging its war against governments Canada and its international allies are supporting in lim-ited fashion, primarily with air-strikes and ground support.

In classic campaign style, the Conservatives revealed few details about how the proposed

law would work. Australia, they pointed out, passed such a law in September and listed the regions of al-Raqqa, in Syria, and Mosul, in Iraq, as no-go zones for its citizens. Those caught having travelled to the areas can be jailed for up to 10 years.

It is a sweeping ban that, as local human rights lawyer David Matas noted, is over-broad. In other words, it impinges upon the mobility rights of, and pot-entially incriminates, travellers who have perfectly good rea-sons to travel to listed areas. Mr. Harper and his team said journalists, humanitarian work-ers, diplomats and ordinary indi-viduals who may need to travel to attend a funeral could be exempted from the ban.

B y C h e l s e a N o v a kRossland News

The Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue’s (KBRFR) new firefighter training pos-ition has been filled.

Glen Gallamore of Company 4 was hired internally to take on the new position and will begin his new role on Sept.14.

The training pos-ition came about after the Office of the Fire Commissioner came out with a firefight-ers competency and training playbook in September 2014.

According to the playbook, in order for a fire department to be a full services operations department, every fire-fighter must meet the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) 1001 Firefighter 2 Competencies.

Not all of KBRFR’s firefighters currently do.

So in June, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary East End Services Committee voted for the KBRFR to be a full service operations fire department, and to cre-ate the firefighter train-ing position.

“Our career staff are at 1001 level 2, but we need all our paid on-call members to be at that level ... also,” said Terry Martin, regional fire chief. “So we felt that if we had a dedicated training officer that he could focus on train-ing for all of our 80 or so—because it fluctu-ates that number—paid on-call members.”

Gallamore did do some training in his original position, but since he only worked two days and two nights a week, and had many other responsibilities—he was in charge of the radio systems, keeping hose records, and also went out on calls—that left little time for train-ing.

A paid on-call fire-fighter was hired to take on Gallamore’s shift now that he’ll be training full time.

The new position stirred some contro-versy when the East End Services Committee voted to create it.

Rossland city coun-cillor Lloyd McLellan was the only member of the committee opposed to the new position, and Mayor Kathy Moore went on record to say she thought there must have been a better way.

“For the amount of money we are now spending on a training officer, a fair number

of people could have attended courses at the Justice Institute or a trainer could have been brought out,” she told Rossland News. “I real-ize this isn’t ideal, and maybe not feasible, but I don’t believe other alternatives were prop-erly explored.”

Chief Martin is aware of the opposition, and says he respects the East End Services Committee, all of its members and Mayor Moore, but feels the new position was the best option.

“If we’re going to be a full service operations fire department, we have an obligation to have all our members trained to that level—that NFPA 1001 level 2—and we felt ... that this was the best way to go to have everybody trained.”

Revenue for the KBRFR is provided in part through property tax requisitions from each municipality in the district and this year $3,253,000, or 17 per cent of the total property tax requisi-tion, has been allocated to the department. That amount is up $189,000 from last year.

Rossland will con-tribute $511,000 of that, which represents 34 percent of the city’s total property tax requi-sition this year.

The Trail Memorial Centre was a hive of activity during the week, as Champions Hockey School saw players from ages 5-25 participate in the week long camp. (Clockwise from top left) Each day was a different theme for the young players from dinosaurs tending goal on Wacky Wednesday, to favourite teams hitting the floor on Jersey Thursday, and the ever popular upper-lip breakout on Moustache Mondays. But the CHS also featured the area’s best and brightest hockey players with Connor (right) and Kellen Jones assisting at the camp then taking to the ice for the evening workout and scrim-mage with local juniors like Kyle Hope, 10, goalie Brett Clark, Mitch Foyle, and Jake Lucchini in red.

It took awhile but the Grand Forks Border Bruins have found their man.

Emery Olauson has been hired as the Bruins head coach and general manager. The 34-year-old coached the Fayetteville FireAntz of the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL) last year and was living in the North Carolina city with his wife Lauren when he took the job in Grand Forks.

Olauson started his coaching career in Flin Flon in 2013-14 as an assistant with the Bombers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. Before becoming a coach, he had played 10 years of pro-fessional hockey most recently with the Knoxville Ice Bears of the SPHL. He grew up in Alberta and played his junior hockey in Saskatchewan with the Weyburn RedWings and the Estevan Bruins.

Olauson is excited to head back north to take over the reigns of the Border Bruins. He feels the squad has plenty of good talent returning and he expects to add several pieces over the next few months.

“We’re having a baby boy here this summer and I was looking out west—I’m from Canmore, Alberta—for coaching jobs,” he said. “I knew about the KIJHL having played junior with some guys who came through there and having coached players who had played there. I was somewhat fam-iliar with the area and I knew how beautiful it was. We were really hoping to come to a small town in Western Canada.”

Olauson was thrilled when he found out he got the job, although he acknowledges that there will be challenges.

“I know they’ve had some strug-gles on the ice and things like that,” he said. “But I think it was

a really good fit with what they need in the immediate future to make the turnaround. I think what I have to offer will fill in some gaps for them. I’m relatively young for a coach and I have lots of energy and lots of ideas. We’re looking forward to seeing that energy and those ideas help turn the Border Bruins into a success.”

Olauson doesn’t think his young age will be a hindrance. He has had three years of coaching experience and played hockey for 14 years at the junior, university and profes-sional levels.

“I consider myself a late bloom-er as most junior B players would be,” he said. “I kept driving forward and motivate as best as I can.

“I think I can relate pretty well to the players. I think I know the game pretty well. I do have the energy and passion to be at work every day and keep studying the game.”

C r a n B r o o k T o w n s m a nFormer four-time

Kootenay Chrysler Bull-a-Rama champion, Chad Besplug, is returning to the Kootenays for the Cranbrook Professional Rodeo at the Wycliffe Exhibition grounds this weekend.

The 29th Annual Cranbrook Professional Rodeo gets underway tonight with rodeo events beginning at 6:30 p.m. and going to Sunday.

In addition to winning four Bull-a-Ramas before the event was shelved in 2013, Besplug took home the Cranbrook bull riding title last year, and will return to defend his title.

The Claresholm native is also a two-time Canadian Bull Riding champion, and won

the $100,000 bull-riding title at the Calgary Stampede in 2012.

In addition to a strong con-tingent of Canadian cowboys and cowgirls, the Cranbrook Professional Rodeo will wel-come the likes of competitors from New York and Texas as well as riders from as far as Australia and New Zealand.

Rodeo stock at the 29th Annual Cranbrook Professional Rodeo will be provided by Vold Rodeo Ltd., while steer-wrestling and tie-down-roping cattle will come courtesy Lazy B Timed Event.

Adult tickets cost $20 in advance or $24 at the gate. Senior and youth tickets cost $18 in advance or $20 at the gate, while children aged 10 and under are free.

VICTORIA - The Government of B.C. is suspending angling for the southern Kootenays due to ongoing warm water temperatures and low flows.

Effective Aug. 15 through Sept. 15 vir-tually all angling in streams and rivers in

Wildlife Management Units 4-3 through 4-9 is suspended. The clos-ure has been put in place to protect fish stocks at a time when they are vulnerable due to low flows and high water temper-atures. The geographic area covers a belt of territory across the

southern Kootenays geographically south of Nelson, from below Lower Arrow Lake in the west across to the Kootenay River, east of Cranbrook.

In addition, Michel Creek, Coal Creek, Lizard Creek, Sand Creek, Kikomun Creek and Morrissey Creek

and their tributaries will be closed to angling in the East Kootenay. These streams are in Wildlife Management Units 4-02, 4-22 and 4-23. Other streams in these two wildlife management units are unaffected.

The Columbia River from the Hugh Keenleyside Dam to the Washington State bor-der, and the Kootenay River from Brilliant Dam to the confluence of the Columbia River are exempt from the closure at this time. On these two streams fishing can continue as normal. These streams have sufficient water refuge to adequately protect fish, even with normal angling pres-sure.

B.C. government fisheries biologists are monitoring approxi-mately 30 other key angling streams across the province, and if conditions warrant, additional closures are possible.

‘No fishing’ on Kootenay streams

Hard to take in, when it is above 40C on our deck for days

on end, but the first full Smoke Eater game for 2015/16 will take place in exactly two weeks.

That will be the first of four exhibition games for the Smokies, all leading up to a season start on 9/11 and the first home game of the season a day later.

The Nitehawks, who have seven exhibition games on their schedule, also begin for-real play on 9/11 and have their first home contest a day later.

The scheduling conflict repeats the following weekend, which is too bad for both clubs, who will be competing for weekend fan turnout three times during the first month of the season.

Things will be better in that regard mid-September for the Nitehawks, as the Smoke Eaters will be on the road for almost three weeks after their Sept. 19 tilt with Merritt.

Scheduling conflicts have been slightly reduced the past couple of seasons, but still occur often enough to hurt the bottom line of both local clubs. What with the number of actual hockey fans apparently shrinking,

that can pose a prob-lem for the bottom lines of both.

The Nitehawks keep rolling along, producing season after season of excel-lent results. The Smoke Eaters, at least in part due to budget considera-tions, consistently struggle to achieve even a round of post season play - often

despite providing high quality hockey entertainment.

We are in the season of hope, again, however. Nitehawk fans are hopeful and confident, of another exciting post season run for their club. Smoke Eater fans are fingers-crossed hopeful of at least a return to the post season for a team which may contain as many as half a dozen local kids and has roster returnees that showed (the dreaded) promise last year to go with a couple of highly touted new signings.

It comes down, for Trail, to a good start. Even lackadaisical, “Home of Champions,” so-called fans will eventually turn away from whatever screen is eating their minds on game nights to support the top level of local hockey if the team is highly competi-

tive. What may really

need to happen, if Trail is to maintain its jun-ior A franchise over the long term, is for more sponsors to follow Dan Ashman’s lead and guar-antee longer term sup-port for the club so it can plan in a longer term way.

However it all turns out, I am looking for-ward to the rollout. Fans looking more forward than I can begin scout-ing the junior hockey potential of the area in just about a week, with both teams training at Cominco Arena in prep-aration for the season from that time.

Season tickets for both teams are, of course, available right now.

See you at the rink.

Sports ‘n’ things

Count down to puck drop

Selfies are more ubiquitous than ever, thanks to the selfie stick.

I had never heard of the selfie stick until a few months ago when I saw one in action. My husband and I were wandering around Victoria BC’s inner harbour awaiting the departure of our whale watching tour when we spotted a couple with a smart phone on a stick. They were dutifully fol-lowing behind the stick, oblivious of others and the surroundings as they took photos of themselves.

While I don’t know if the manner in which they were using their selfie stick is common or not, the entire sel-fie craze suggests that we are pretty darn pleased with ourselves. However, there is ample evidence to the con-trary. We have a hard time accepting our-selves, with our physical appearance being a par-ticular source of angst. The body acceptance movement is a case in point.

Variously known as “fat acceptance”, “body love”, and “ending fat shame”, the movement is gaining traction. Women of all shapes and sizes are beginning to react negatively to advertising campaigns that restrict beauty to the ideals of the runway, and some magazines are bucking the skin-ny cover model trend. Vogue Italia led the way a few years ago when three plus size models made the cover. This year, plus size models Tess Halliday and Erica Jean Schnek made head-lines when their photos appeared on the covers of People and Women’s Running respectively.

Although the body acceptance movement is primarily associated with obesity in women, plus size women are not alone in the struggle to accept their bodies. Skinny or fat, young or old, and all points in between, both sexes are constantly confronted with impossible and unrealistic ideals of beauty and vitality that

can make us feel dis-satisfied with our self.

Despite its good intentions, the body acceptance movement is flawed. Its mantra to embrace your curves puts the cart before the horse. Beauty, as the saying goes, is more than skin deep.

Poor body image reflects dissatisfaction with our inner self. We construct our self-image from relation-ships and experiences that shape us from the inside out. So-called “body positivity” alone is insufficient to change our interior narrative no matter how much we profess to love our curves. To “embrace” fatness or thinness can become an excuse for ignoring the process of inner transformation that leads to authentic self-acceptance.

Body acceptance has little to do with clothing size or the image cap-tured on that high tech mirror called a smart phone. It has every-thing to do with the condition of our inter-ior life. If we obsess on our appearance to the exclusion of our inner transformation, we will never be comfortable in our own body. When we look in the mirror, we will see our self darkly, as through a smoky, gray cloud, instead of illuminated with light, aglow with the beauti-ful colours of our soul. That is an image that not even the smartest phone can capture.

Sunday worship service

10:30am

Prayer � rstat 10:00am

Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.

“He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life” (John 12:25).

This is the great principle on which all authentic Christian spirituality is based.

Spirituality is popular today. People want to become more spiritual. They want to grow in spirituality. They want to learn how to contemplate and experience God more deeply. Most, however, do not know that all authentic spirituality is based on self-denial. People today generally want the positive fruits of spirituality but do not want the principle that it is based on, namely self-denial for the love of God. Yet Jesus says, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me” (Matt. 16:24 NKJV).

Self-denial is the foundational principle of all of spirituality because it is the way we focus our whole being on God, making him the focus of our life, the source of our joy and peace. If we also seek our delight in worldly things, our affective energy is dispersed and dissipated. It no longer goes directly to God. To grow spiritually we need to try to focus our delight and affective energy on God, and to do this we must live a simple life. This is the meaning of evangelical poverty. For the love of God we deny ourselves worldly pleasures. In this way our love is not dissipated and dispersed in many directions, but rather � ows with its full strength directly to God.

Spirituality means seeking our delight in God, and in order do this we do not want our love to be dispersed and weakened by � owing in many different directions. Rather we want to experience God’s love more deeply. So to make this real in our life we deliberately cut off other worldly pleasures that would siphon off and weaken our love for God and our experience of his love in our life. Hence we eat only simple, healthy, basic food and restrict our life in many other ways too, renouncing distracting, attracting, tempting, arousing entertainments that make us worldly, arouse our passions, and � ll our minds and hearts with worldly, distracting, and tempting images and desires.

This is what the Desert Fathers discovered. They greatly reduced their external distractions, attractions, and temptations by living an austere and simple life in the desert far from the entertainments of the city and the world. Their diet was extremely simple and austere, and there they served God in a life of prayer and fasting far from the world. Although most of us do not live in a physical desert, the same

principle applies to us if we want to live a more spiritual life, if we want to grow in spirituality.

Actually this whole quest for a deeper spirituality is based on the teachings of Jesus himself. Today he says, “He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life” (John 12:25). By loving our life he means living it up in a worldly way. This, he says, is the way to lose our life with God. This is the way not to grow spiritually, not to grow in spirituality. So what are we supposed to do? Jesus tells us in the second half of this sentence: “And he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life” (John 12:25). We are to hate our life in this world.

And how do we hate our life in this world? We hate our life in this world by denying ourselves the unnecessary dissipating, distracting, tempting, and arousing pleasures of this world. Instead of living a worldly life, we live a simple life. A simple life is the key to spirituality. One who lives a simple life hates and loses his life in this world for the love of God. He hates to live in a worldly way. He hates to take part in worldly entertainments and pleasures that dissipate the love of his heart that he wants to keep focused on the Lord alone. He wants the Lord to entertain him, not unnecessary worldly pleasures that only weaken the pleasure he � nds in God, the only love of his life.

So the person seeking a deeper spirituality renounces unnecessary worldly pleasures for the love of God. In doing so he loses his life in this world for the love of God. This is what Jesus himself told us to do, to lose our life in this world for his sake, in order to love him undividedly, with all the love of our heart. He said, “Whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will � nd it” (Matt. 16:25 NKJV). So if we want to truly � nd our life, we must lose it for Christ’s sake in this world. We must give up trying to � nd our pleasures here in worldly things, in sumptuous and succulent foods and desserts and in secular entertainments. We must not try to save our life in this worldly way.

So if we seek a deeper spirituality, let us follow Jesus’ directions. Let us lose our life in this world for love of him, for the love of God, in order to save our life. Let us not try to save our life in this world by living in a worldly way, only to lose our life with God. Let us not fail to grow in spirituality by living in a worldly way, seeking our delight in the unnecessary pleasures of this world. Let us hate our life in this world for the love of God, for “he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life” (John 12:25). But “he who loves his life loses it” (John 12:25). Let us not be among those who love their life in this world, only to lose it.

Beauty is more than skin deep

louise mcewaneveryday Theology

Leisure

Dear Annie: I follow you on Facebook. I am 18 years old and have been with my boyfriend for more than a year. We used to spend a bit too much time together and I know it wasn’t healthy, so we worked it out and now have new hobbies and see our friends a little more.

Everything is good except for one thing: His mother. She is recently divorced and when my boyfriend and I were spending a lot of time at her place, she was upset and miserable. We understood, so we would make dinner for her and keep the house clean, but she would never come out of her room. My boyfriend and I would eat dinner and converse. One day, his mother came into the kitchen and appar-ently, saw this closeness as a threat. She complained that she wasn’t getting any attention from her son and that I was stealing him away from her. She prohibited me from coming over for three weeks, which my boyfriend and I found hurtful.

She still complains about me, saying I give her dirty looks (I would never do that) and that I ignore her, even when I say hello every time I see her. I get that she doesn’t like me, so I try not to engage her too often. But she also tries to sabotage our dates, saying my boyfriend can’t go out with me because he has some important family dinner, which is usually a lie. Sometimes, she calls in the middle of a date and tells him to come home right away and that sort of thing.

The worst part, though, is that she has such a strong influence on my boyfriend that he is beginning to believe she knows what is best for him and that maybe we should break up. This devastates me. She is ruining our relationship and bring-ing stress into my boyfriend’s life.

I don’t know whether to speak to her about her behavior or leave

it alone. I fear I’m not going to win this. -- Lost

Dear Lost: You won’t win if your boyfriend doesn’t back you up. His mother seems very clingy, and this may be due to the divorce or it may be that she would not like any girl her son dated. Talk to your boy-friend. Let him know

that if he doesn’t defend you to his mother, the relationship is over. Because, Honey, it will be.

Dear Annie: I appreciate your advice to “Torn Son,” whose father is abusing alcohol, and the son sus-pects he is also using drugs.

I am a member of a local 12-step program organized to help people and families under the stress of having an addicted loved one. You recommended Al-Anon and Adult Children of Alcoholics. Please add to your list “Families Anonymous” which was founded in 1971 and is a national and international self-

help group. There is no cost to attend our meetings. -- Outreach Coordinator

Dear Coordinator: We have rec-ommended Families Anonymous in this space before and we are happy to mention it again. It is a

fine organization for those whose loved ones are addicted to alcohol or drugs. Interested readers can contact the organization at fam-iliesanonymous.org.
