WHARF WORK

The City of Trail needs a big-ger share of the Columbia Basin Trust’s (CBT) annual commun-ity initiative program since it serves Greater Trail and not just the city proper, says one city councillor.
On Tuesday night council-lor Robert Cacchioni asked Columbia Basin Trust’s chief executive officer Neil Muth about the new funding formula the organization introduced last year.
He said the current division of CBT cash—with every commun-ity receiving at least $30,000, with larger community’s appor-tionment based on population—leaves Trail a little short when it comes time to handing out cash to community groups.
Cacchioni noted that, although the money comes to the city for the amount of cit-izens it comprises, as the hub of the Greater Trail region they end up handing out money to groups that service the entire area.
“Many of these grants we pro-vide … cross over well beyond our borders,” he said during the regular council meeting.
“I’m concerned the CBT is not (funding) on a per capita basis. It is wrong. If you look at Warfield, one fifth of the popu-lation of Trail, they get $30,000. Therefore, Trail should get $150,000 by that understand-ing.”
He asked Muth to take a closer look at community initia-tives program under which Trail received $112,000 last year.

The City of Trail cleaned up at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria, winning two major awards out of eight.
For the second year in a row Trail won the tough Community Excellence Award in best practi-ces, general, beating out 15 other communities much larger than the Silver City.
The city was recognized for its work setting up the Downtown Opportunities and Action
Committee in 2011, and coming up with a workable Trail Downtown Plan released last spring.
It was the first time in the his-tory of the UBCM awards that a municipality has been honoured two years in a row with the award. And Trail was victorious in a very difficult category to win, said Joslyn Young, executive coordin-ator of the UBCM awards.
“Local government always hear what they do wrong, so it’s nice to hear sometimes what they did right,” she observed.
Last year Trail won the same award for the public process they used for shutting down and the continued shut down of the Old Trail Bridge and how they handled that from a public perspective.
“It was a real pleasure to go up and receive this award on behalf of the DOAC,” said Mayor Dieter Bogs, noting that now councillor Kevin Jolly was the instrumental chair of the DOAC at the time.
He also lauded the efforts of city staff members Michelle MacIsaac and Dave Perehudoff for their part in the DOAC.
The city also shared in the
wealth on the UBCM Community Excellence Award in the partner-ships category, with their work on regional transit with Castlegar, Nelson and the regional districts of Kootenay Boundary and Central Kootenay.
“Nelson did the majority of the work in setting up the transporta-tion corridor to get students to Selkirk College and to the hospital (in Trail),” Bogs noted.
The Partnerships category rec-ognizes two or more partners who have collaborated on a joint ven-ture or initiative with outstanding results. The ability to break down barriers and identify and promote common goals is the measurement used in the category.

FROM PAGE 1“Have you adjusted com-
munity initiatives upward?” he asked.
“No. It was the third year of a five-year agreement and the funds are fixed for each of those years,” he replied. “That’s not to say the board could not make a decision to increase it at any time, with your agreement.”
“I think that should be increased,” Cacchioni stated. “If you were to be fair, from my estimation, and you would have done it on a per capita basis, then we would have had $167,000 instead of $112,000.”
He said Trail services a lar-
ger area and that many more people throughout the Greater Trail region. In fact, the 2012 requests for grant money in Trail were more than double the amount of available cash.
“A lot of the services for Greater Trail, are, in fact, locat-ed in Trail,” said Mayor Dieter Bogs. “The outside commun-ities have been good, in some ways, in making contributions to the areas in Trail, but it would be nice if we had a little more power and flexibility to do that ourselves.”
Muth said he understood the issue in the broader context of Greater Trail and that it is
different than other areas. But he could not see an across-the-board formula that would work here that CBT could apply in places like Salmo or Silverton as well.
“But we are certainly willing to work with you to figure that out,” he said.
Cacchioni said the city also gave out over $90,000 in grants this year, either grants in lieu, direct grants or permissive grants to groups and organiza-tions supported by council.
“A lot of Trail taxpayer money could be held back for other pur-poses if the CBT grant was fair and reasonable,” he said.

FROM PAGE 1“When an initiative meets
the needs and aspirations of the partners as well as the broader public, the benefits from cooper-ation set a benchmark for all communities,” read a UBCM release on the award.
BC Transit had approached community leaders with nine separate operating agreements
and encouraged them to strike their own regional transit com-mittee.
On June 6 the West Kootenay Transit Committee held its first meeting. The committee, con-sisting of three area directors from each of the two regional districts along with a council representative from the City of Nelson are now tasked with
working together to best man-age resources and funding.
“The high level of communi-cation and cooperation demon-strated by the West Kootenay Transit Committee is exactly what the BC Transit Independent Review Panel recommended last August,” said Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Mary Polak in the release.

Barry Callele, second from right, answers questions along with other members of the Enbridge panel at the Joint Review Panel looking into the Northern Gateway Pipeline in Prince George Wednesday.
BY JUDIE STEEVESKelowna Capital News
Judging by the grapes that are arriving to be crushed, the 2012 vintage of Okanagan wine could go down in history as a remarkable one.
That’s the consen-sus of winemakers who are taste-testing those grapes in vineyards up and down the val-ley now to determine
whether they are at the optimum stage to pick.
With the hot, dry summer extended into fall this year, growers and winemakers are waxing poetic about the grape harvest this year.
“It’s a dream har-vest,” commented Grant Stanley, wine-maker at Quails’ Gate Estate Winery in West Kelowna.
“These are the low-est bunch rates ever, with very intense fla-vours in small berries,” he said.
The cool nights are helping the acids hold their own, yet hot sunny days are bring-ing on the ripening every day, he said.
The right balance of sugars and acids are critical to bringing com-plex flavours to wine.
“It’s just outstand-ing. It makes my work much more pleasur-able,” he added.
Some years, adverse weather has meant many varieties of grapes had to be picked as soon as possible, telescoping the season, but this year, the har-vest had been spread out over many weeks, with no pressure to get a particular variety picked as soon as pos-sible, he said.
George Heiss, found-er of Gray Monk Estate Winery in Lake Country agreed, commenting, “It’s an absolutely fan-tastic harvest.”
Although June was very wet and spring was delayed, the extended hot, dry sum-mer weather allowed fruit to get caught up.

E.coli case connected to recall
BY RICHARD ROLKEVernon Morning StarThe cause of death
of a Lake Country hunt-er was accidental.
The body of Tracy De Montezuma, 52, was found in the Wilma Lake area Oct. 4. He had been missing since Sept. 29.
“He took his rifle
and was scouting the area for hunting with some friends,” said Barb McLintock, with the B.C. Coroners Service.
“It looks like he was was trying to get over some windfall (dead trees) when the gun accidentally went off,” he explained.
De Montezuma was wounded in the torso.
“We are still in the preliminary stage of the investigation,” said McLintock.
A five-day search for De Montezuma involved nine search crews from across the Interior, including Vernon.
THE CANADIAN PRESSPRINCE GEORGE, B.C. - The ability to detect
leaks along the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline won’t be known until the pipeline is built and pumping oil through the remote wil-derness of northern British Columbia, a lawyer for the province noted at a hearing deciding the pipeline’s fate.
Chris Jones grilled a panel of company experts on the design of the 1,100-kilometre pipeline that would deliver oil from the Alberta oilsands to a tanker port on the B.C. coast.
“So is what you’re telling me that the actual sensitivity of a pipeline - perhaps this pipeline, along with other ones - can only be determined when it’s actually been constructed and you’re able to test that actual pipeline in operation?” Jones asked on the second day of environmental assessment hearings in Prince George, B.C.
“We have a quite an operating history.... It’s not an issue of trust us, wait ‘til construction,” answered Barry Callele, director of pipeline con-trol systems and leak detection for Enbridge
Pipelines Inc.Testing is and has been under way, Callele
said, and test results show the estimates pro-vided in the project proposal are conservative.
“But I guess the answer to my question is still: We don’t know until it’s been built. Isn’t that right?” Jones asked.
“I think we know what we know today. We’ll know more at every phase along the pipeline construction project and we’ll know emphatic-ally or empirically at the time that fluid with-drawal tests are done at different sections of the pipeline.”
Callele said there would be five overlapping leak detection systems on the twin pipelines that would carry diluted bitumen to the tanker port in Kitimat, B.C., and condensate from Kitimat back to Bruderheim, Alta., including aerial sur-veillance, foot patrols, and 132 monitored pres-sure valves along the route.
“We will have one of the best instrumented pipeline systems not only in North America, but probably the world,” Callele told the panel.

VICTORIA
Residents rally to save old treeTHE CANADIAN PRESS
CADBORO BAY, SAANICH, B.C. - A diseased, centuries-
old Douglas fir tree in suburban Victoria will stand a little long-er after several local
residents proved their bark is worse than its blight.
Residents in the Saanich, B.C., neigh-bourhood of Cadboro Bay rallied Tuesday to prevent municipal crews from cutting down the estimated 300-year-old fir.
Police were called, but the fallers left without firing up their chainsaws.
The municipality says the tree, dubbed Dougy Fir, has been attacked by a fungus and must be removed.
But area home-owners question the results of tests done last spring and want their own arborist to assess the health of the ancient conifer.
They also say a lawyer could file an injunction as early as today, aimed at preventing the tree’s removal.
NANAIMO
BY JENN MCGARRIGLENanaimo News Bulletin
A Nanaimo resident is the prov-ince’s first confirmed case of E. coli linked to the extensive XL Foods beef recall.
The B.C. Centre for Disease Control announced the finding Monday – the 11th E. coli case across Canada connected to the XL Foods plant in Brooks, Alta.
The individual – identified only as a male from Nanaimo – became ill in mid-September but has now recovered, said Dr. Eleni Galanis, a BCCDC physician epidemiolo-gist.
About a third of all beef sold in Canada is provided by XL Foods and the Nanaimo man had eaten
multiple meals with beef in the days prior to his illness, although health officials are unsure what meal his illness is linked to.
Dr. Paul Hasselback, central Island medical health officer with the Vancouver Island Health Authority, said a large amount of beef products were recalled and meat from the affected XL Foods plant is distributed to all the major grocery chains on the Island.
He said most of the recalled products are past their expiry dates now and health officials are asking people to take a look at the recall list, go through their fridges and freezers and throw out or return to the place of purchase any products on that list.

THE CANADIAN PRESSOTTAWA - Canada’s Department of Veterans
Affairs has ended its long-standing, controversial policy of clawing back the benefit payments of disabled soldiers, sailors and aircrew - a move critics say has been far too long in coming.
Effective immediately, the Harper govern-ment will no longer deduct the amount of a veteran’s pension from benefits for lost earn-ings and Canadian Forces income support, which were introduced in 2006 under the New Veterans Charter.
Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney made the announcement Wednesday at a news confer-ence at Valcartier Garrison, outside Quebec City.
“We have worked quickly to make these chan-ges to put more money in the pockets of veterans and their families, including some who haven’t been receiving these benefits until now,” Blaney said.
The move is a consequence of last spring’s Federal Court ruling, which rejected the clawback of disability benefits from eligible veterans in a case waged against the Department of National Defence.
Back in July, Defence Minister Peter MacKay ended the deduction for most disabled soldiers,
but it took a special cabinet order passed just recently to get the measure enacted for those affected under the veterans affairs system.
Ending the clawback immediately will cost the federal treasury $177.7 million over the next five years.
Depending upon the severity of the injury and whether they receive the earnings loss or the income support benefit, the change could mean between $1,100 and $1,500 per month to indi-vidual veterans.
More changes are on the way, affecting those veterans who entered the system prior to the introduction of the updated veterans charter.
“We are also working quickly to make the necessary legislative changes to the War Veterans Allowance Act so a disability pension will no longer be considered when calculating the War Veterans Allowance benefit,” Blaney said.
New Democrat veterans critic Peter Stoffer said he was pleased with the decision, but irritated by the government’s blatant politicking - including the claim it has “worked quickly” to help affected veterans.
The Conservative government could have implemented Wednesday’s changes years ago, Stoffer said.
Ruling ends clawback on veteran benefits
Tories cut services but boost advertisingTHE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA - The Conservative govern-ment has approved tens of millions of dollars in “economic action plan” ads this year even as it cites fiscal restraint to cut programs such as scientific research and environmental mon-itoring.
While Finance offi-cials are refusing to dis-close the budget for the current “action plan” media blitz blanketing Canadian airwaves, a Treasury Board docu-ment shows that cab-inet approved $16 mil-lion in “economic action plan” advertising in the first quarter of this year alone.
That doesn’t include $5 million approved for a “better jobs” ad campaign, $8 million to sell Canadians on cuts to old age security, and $5 million to promote “responsible resource development” - the slo-gan given to an environ-mental assessment sys-tem that was cut back and restructured in the last budget.
The Conservatives also approved $4.5 mil-lion for War of 1812 advertising this year.
In all, the federal cabinet has already approved more than $64 million in ad spend-ing for 2012-13 - seem-ingly well on its way to matching the $83.3 mil-
lion they spent in 2010-11, the last year for which complete num-bers are available.
When the Conservatives came to office in 2006, they inherited a federal advertising budget of $41.3 million - a total they have doubled, and in one case more than tripled, every year they’ve been in power.
The ad spending comes as Treasury
Board President Tony Clement oversees sweeping cuts to gov-ernment programs in an across-the-board belt-tightening exercise.
World-renowned programs such as the Experimental Lakes Area are being axed for savings of $2 mil-lion annually, while the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy was cut to save $5.5 million.
THE CANADIAN PRESSBROOKS, Alta. - The union for
workers at an Alberta beef packer shut down over E. coli concerns says better training and work conditions are required to ensure meat is safe.
Doug O’Halloran, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 401, says the speed of the processing line at the XL Foods plant in Brooks is too fast.
He says that has led to shorter
times in which to make sure equip-ment and meat is clean.
O’Halloran says the plant’s increasing reliance on temporary foreign workers is also a problem.
He says the company has not worked with the union to ensure the workers are properly trained and know what their rights are.
The union says whistleblower protection is important for the work-ers who are afraid to speak out.

QUEBEC
THE CANADIAN PRESSMONTREAL -
Rocked by allegations of illegal financing, the Quebec Liberals mounted a counter-attack in defence of their party’s reputation Wednesday.
The most aggressive response came from a party member who questioned the cred-ibility of the star wit-ness at Quebec’s cor-ruption inquiry.
David Whissell was among several prominent Liberals who responded to the latest testimony at the inquiry but he was the only one to criticize the key witness.
Whissell, an ex-cab-inet minister, took dir-ect aim at Lino Zambito, the former construction boss whose testimony has shaken Quebec’s political and business class.
Whissell not only denied the claim that a member of his entour-
age solicited an illegal $50,000 cash dona-tion from Zambito - an allegation he called unrelated to reality.
He also questioned Zambito’s credibility after his own testimony in recent days implicat-ed him in collusion and bid-rigging schemes.
“I want to remind you that Mr. Zambito is someone who has
been arrested, who is charged with crimes, who is seen on video giving money to the Mafia, who pressured municipal officials,” Whissell told The Canadian Press in a telephone interview.
“He’s someone who is a criminal and I think we’re too easily tak-ing his words to be the truth.”

OPINION
Presidential debate failed to satisfy a football nation
Last week’s U.S. presidential debate has been analyzed, dissected, and
reviewed as if it was the aftermath of an NFL foot-ball game.
There was the same bluster from experts, just like a post-game show, only nowhere near as entertaining.
And perhaps therein lies the overall problem with the discourse on how Republican presi-dential candidate Mitt Romney supposedly won the debate over President Barrack Obama.
Frankly I don’t care much for U.S. politics. It offers up more style than substance, more rhetoric than reality and more tales than truth. And sadly it’s becoming the modus oper-andi of the Conservative Party in Canada, which will only plunge our own political discourse further into the gutter.
However, what did amaze me in the aftermath of the U.S. debate was the talking heads’ perception of what happened.
Here we have a coun-try of citizens that profess their disdain for political attack ads.
This is a nation of vot-ers who constantly want the candidates to talk about the issues instead of the quick-clip rhetoric.
The U.S. news shows are always complaining that politicians are more interested in scoring pol-itical points rather than talking about the issues.
So from my point of view, the winner of the debate should have been the American public.
For once the issues were on the table. President Obama didn’t take shots at Romney for his “47 per cent,” comment caught on video. The president didn’t take the opportunity to attack Romney on his tax returns and he didn’t jump at the chance to rehash Romney’s days as the head of Bain Capital.
What the president did, instead, was talk about the issues, present his vision and extol the vir-tues of higher education as a means of getting the
country back on course.So what did he get for
his efforts? Vilified.He was chastised for not
turning the debate into an attack on Romney’s past.
He was ridiculed for taking too much time to explain his vision on edu-cation.
Even his own support-ers heckled him, for not “going in for the kill,” on Romney and highlighting the Republican’s dubious past.
He did everything Americans wish their pol-iticians would do but don’t really want them to do it, especially when 50 mil-
lion people tune in during prime time.
His debate perform-ance, according to experts, was blamed on everything from altitude to indiffer-ence. Yet none of these experts noted how civil the debate was or how the president tried to present his vision.
I guess we have to remember this is a coun-try that can raise millions of dollars for a college football program yet has a growing class of unedu-cated citizens.
Here’s a country that has a history of attacking first and then getting the facts later.
So it’s no surprise that even Democrats were disappointed in the president’s attempt to keep the debate civilized and geared towards the facts.
Sure, social media is getting mileage out of the Big Bird comment but that’s not what the NASCAR/MMA nation tunes in for.
They want to see the crashes, they want to see
a knockout and they want to see a quarterback get pounded into the ground.
Anything less is con-sidered a disappointment. And if you don’t throw a punch or land a body-crunching hit then you’re branded a loser.
There are still two more presidential debates on the horizon and a vice-president’s debate tonight. So there’s still time for the viewers to see blood in the water.
Remember this is a country that tuned in by the millions to watch O.J. Simpson’s slow motion police chase and turned the trial into a Ringling Brothers circus and pro-claimed it “The Trial of the Century.”
This is an audience that has lifted voyeurism and reality shows into “must see TV,” consumed by mil-lions.
There’s not much room for politeness and valid points against those types of expectations.

The next time an older person reaches the cash register before you and begins slowly counting
her nickels and dimes, take the extra time to consider how wel-come that senior feels in your community.
Think about the bus steps she may have to climb with her purchases, the fast-changing crosswalk outside the store that’s built for the young and spry.
In some rural Canadian towns, those seniors now comprise 40 per cent of the population.
Older people do a great deal for communities. They’re tax-payers and caregivers and with-out them many communities would no longer be sustainable. It’s time to turn the lens around and ask what communities are doing for them. The age-friend-liness of our cities and towns needs to become a priority.
On October 15, a panel of international experts will meet in Winnipeg to discuss how the world’s rural and remote com-munities can be more age-friend-ly. The symposium, Age-Friendly Rural and Remote Communities and Places, follows a 2007 World Health Organization report that addresses the views of older people from every continent in the world.
The problems are remarkably similar.
Seniors everywhere said they need more accessible communi-
ties, better housing and more opportunities for social engage-ment. They want clean, well-maintained environments in which to spend their retirement. Some live in quiet neighbour-hoods they enjoy, but others
complain of poor public transit and impatient drivers.
Providing age-friendly spaces, such as parks and well-maintained sidewalks, permits seniors to become active, healthy members of soci-ety. Better streets also mean oppor-tunities for physi-
cal activity and social engage-ment. In short, a higher quality of life - for everyone.
Looking at these issues in rural and remote communities is important because many are rapidly ‘graying.’ Younger peo-ple leave to find employment; older generations stay behind. Access to affordable housing and transportation options, for example, are major issues to address in these areas. In fact, access to affordable housing with the proper accommoda-tions is a basic requirement for good health.
As more people move to urban areas, there’s a tendency among city-dwellers to dismiss the needs of rural communi-ties with small populations. However, our economy needs rural communities - agriculture, fishing, mining are all important parts of the Canadian fabric. Therefore, it’s in everyone’s best
interest to ensure the sustain-ability of small towns by making them more liveable.
Creating a positive envi-ronment begins with the very structure of our buildings. Many seniors have difficulty with stairs in public buildings but also in their own homes. In other words, age friendliness reaches to the very design of our communities and organizations.
Governments and plan-ners need to put older people’s needs on the agenda lest a large proportion of our population become excluded.
An older person may not leave the house if the curbs aren’t low enough to step over, or if there isn’t enough seating on the street to stop and rest.
There are also small things we can all do to make our com-munities age-friendly. We rare-ly slow down long enough to consider the needs of the older people around us. Whether it’s taking the time to speak more slowly or helping someone cross the street, everyone has a role in creating more inclusive com-munities for seniors.
And what’s good for the old is good for the young, too. An age-friendly community is more than a place that puts its seniors first.
It’s a friendly community, period - and that’s something we should all be striving for.

I would like to thank the staff at the Trail Regional Hospital for tak-ing such excellent care of me during my short stay there.
I went into emergency on Thursday afternoon with horrible cramps thinking I had food poison-ing. I was immediately whisked in to a room and it seemed like every test
under the sun was given to me.It turned out that I had to have
my appendix out and the sugery was performed that night.
From the admitting nurse, to the ex-ray tech., and the cat scan tech., and all the nurses and doctors who saw me, thank you.

An editorial from the New Glasgow News
The federal Conservatives have long had second thoughts about the Parliamentary Budget Office. At any rate, one would expect they’d have thought to include a job description with the opening.
Another spat has opened between budget officer Kevin Page and the federal govern-ment over spending - and this time it looks like any resolu-tion will cost Canadians more money. The showdown could be headed to court.
Number crunching from Page in the past has put the Conservatives on the spot about spending estimates, the cost of programs in particular, and often about deficit forecasts.
This time it’s a little different
in that Page’s office is seeking estimates on savings as vari-ous departments undergo cuts leading up to the next federal budget.
Treasury Board President Tony Clement said such an information request falls out-side the mandate of Page’s office. Clement argues the bud-get officer gets to have a look at money spent, not money that’s not spent.
Obviously Page doesn’t agree, and said he’ll force the issue in court if necessary.
It’s not hard to see that the information is relevant to the public. Page has maintained that cuts to departments - and we understand they are necessary - will mean the loss of X number of jobs and thus will have an effect on the country’s employ-
ment numbers and economy.Clement, we’ll remember,
doesn’t have the most stellar reputation when it comes to dis-cretion involving spending.
It was his Muskoka riding that came under the spotlight for money lavished upon it to spruce things up for the 2010 G8 Summit. Thus, many Canadians would invite extra scrutiny for a government that has yet to earn a reputation as frugal.
It’s plain the Conservatives in setting up this office and putting Page in charge didn’t foresee the harsh light it might put them in at times.
Their intent was noble - to help make government more accountable and spending more transparent. But bucking the system every step of the way defeats that purpose.

great sadness we announce the passing of Larry Dean Staecey on Wednesday, Sep-tember 12, 2012 at the age of 55. Larry was born in Kelowna, B.C. on May 02, 1957. He leaves his devoted wife of 19 years Theresa, daughter Laresa, son Larry Jr., mother Helen, and sister Glenda, all of Fruitvale, B.C. He was predeceased by his father Larry Stanley Staecey.

OBITUARIES
THE CANADIAN PRESSMILTON, Ont. - The
peace and quiet of Evergreen Cemetery has been the backdrop of Ed Whitlock’s illustrious run-ning career for more than a decade.
The 81-year-old multi-world record-holder cov-ers the same short looping trail, round and round for up to three hours a day, past the carefully tended headstones, under the sweeping canopy of maple trees.
His choice of training venue is purely for prac-tical reasons. It’s a quick two-block walk from his home. The thick trees pro-vide natural shade. The road is never crowded. And the drivers, he’ll tell you, are a docile lot - “they don’t tend to attack you like might do in town.”
“It’s just convenient,” Whitlock said of the 10-hectare lot.
Whitlock has been turning back the aging odometer and shattering age-class distance records for years. He owns 15 age-class world track and field records, three world mara-thon records plus a couple dozen “unofficial” world road-racing records.
He ran two hours 54 minutes 48 seconds when he was 73 - a time that, if age-graded, is considered by many to be the fastest marathon ever run.
And he’ll be gunning for yet another world mark, for
81-year-olds, at Sunday’s Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon.
Whitlock needs to run sub-3:45, but said he isn’t as well-prepared as he’d like. He was sidelined for three months last winter when he fell down the steps of his house, a tidy 1946 home with a lush vegetable garden in back, set off a quiet side street in Milton.
His knees have also been acting up. Arthritis began to creep in several years ago, forcing him to take off first a year with one knee, then a year with the other.
“(Doctors) told me five years ago I couldn’t run anymore. They said your running days are over. But they weren’t,” Whitlock said.
He’s just recently
worked back up to his full three-hour cemetery runs, where the dapper 115-pound Englishman - with his white pageboy hair that hangs nearly to his shoul-ders - is a familiar fixture. He bobs quietly past the headstones, some of which are new and adorned with flowers and others so old and weathered they’re barely readable on the site that saw its first burial in 1881.
The groundskeepers greet him with a friendly wave.
“I think I could get a job here if I had any spare time,” he said, laughing.
Whitlock is not your typical high-performance runner. He doesn’t watch what he eats. He doesn’t ice after workouts or do ab work or yoga or even stretch. He has no shoe sponsor - he does have a several pairs of runners piled under a wicker chair on his front porch.
Whitlock sums up his training program as “des-ultory.” The former mining engineer has no idea how much ground he covers or how fast he’s running. His watch, which hangs from his thin wrist like a bracelet, is there simply to let him know when three hours is up.
“My training is very uncomplicated, I just come round to the cemetery every day and run around here as long as I can,” he said.

ED WHITLOCK
ALEX KARRAS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESSLOS ANGELES - Alex
Karras was one of the NFL’s most feared defen-sive tackles throughout the 1960s, a player who hounded quarterbacks and bulled past opposing line-men.
And yet, to many people he will always be the lov-able dad from the 1980s sitcom “Webster” or the big cowboy who famously punched out a horse in “Blazing Saddles.”
The rugged player, who anchored the Detroit Lions’ defence and then made a
successful transition to an acting career, with a stint along the way as a com-mentator on “Monday Night Football,” died Wednesday. He was 77.
Karras had recently suffered kidney failure and been diagnosed with dementia. The Lions also said he had suffered from heart disease and, for the last two years, stomach cancer. He died at home in Los Angeles surrounded by family members.
“Perhaps no player in Lions history attained as much success and notori-
ety for what he did after his playing days as did Alex,” Lions president Tom Lewand said.
Born in Gary, Ind., Karras starred for four years at Iowa. Detroit drafted Karras with the 10th overall pick in 1958 and he was a four-time All-Pro defensive tackle over 12 seasons.
For all his prowess on the field, Karras may have gained more fame when he turned to acting in the movies and on television.
Playing a not-so-bright bruiser in Mel Brooks’
“Blazing Saddles,” he not only slugged a horse but also delivered the classic line: “Mongo only pawn in game of life.”
In the 1980s, he played a sheriff in the comedy “Porky’s” and became a hit on the small screen as Emmanuel Lewis’ adoptive father, George Papadapolis, in the sitcom “Webster.”
He also had roles in “Against All Odds” and “Victor/Victoria.” He por-trayed George Zaharias in CBS’s “Babe,” in which he starred with Susan Clark, who later became his wife.
Football player later found roles in acting

SMOKE EATERS
Express stop in TrailBY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports EditorThe Trail Smoke Eaters return to the cozy con-
fines of the Cominco Arena Friday night, but face a daunting task as they take on the 11th ranked team in the nation.
The Smokies play the Mainland Division lead-ing Coquitlam Express, a team that has been ranked in the CJHL’s top 20 for the past two weeks.
“They’re a skilled team, they’re leading their division and top to bottom they’re a good team,” said Birks. “We’ve got to capitalize on our chan-ces, number one, but our work ethic and compete level is excellent in my eyes.”
The Smokies were snake bitten as they man-aged just two goals in their two losses against West Kelowna and Penticton last weekend, and will have to find a way to find the back of the net more often.
“As a whole the coaching staff thought the boys played really well, we competed, we had chances, we just couldn’t score and the other team did,” said Birks.
Coquitlam is led by Alex Kerfoot, a Harvard commit, who has five goals and seven assists in 12 games this season, and are backstopped by Cole Huggins who is coming off a 59 save performance in a 4-4 OT tie with Chilliwack.
In Trail’s four game home-unbeaten streak, the Smokies outgunned opponents 12-5, but on the road the tide changes dramatically, as they’ve been outscored by a margin of 50-14 in eight games.
Following the Express, the Smokies have a day off before taking on division rival Merritt Centennials at home on Sunday. The Cents had a tough road trip to the coast last week, beating Powell River Kings 2-1 Friday before dropping a pair of 5-1 games to Alberni Valley Bulldogs and the Surrey Eagles Saturday and Sunday.
“Any team can beat any team on any given night, and we’re battling them (Merritt) for a play-off spot I would think down the road, so it’s a must two points for sure,” said Birks.
Game time is 7:30 p.m. against the Express Friday and 5 p.m. Sunday versus Merritt.

The Black Jack Ski Club is mobilizing for another great season of cross-country skiing, and offering big incentives for new and returning members.
While Black Jack enjoyed over 600 members last year, the numbers were down from the previous record-breaking season.
“We are trying to do things a bit ear-lier this year just to see how that affects things,” said Wannes Luppens, Black Jack executive member.
This year the club is hoping to attract more skiers from surrounding areas like Trail, Castlegar, and Beaver Valley, and is offering a pile of early-bird prizes to entice cross-country ski enthusiasts.
“Trail participation has always been a bit elusive,” said Luppens, who would like to see all residents of the area take advantage of the facility.
The club will hold three draws before
the Grand Prize draw on Dec. 1. The early-bird draws go Oct. 10, Nov. 10 and Nov. 20, and include prizes from local businesses such as Better Life Fitness, Butch Bounty, Loolu’s Lost Sheep, and Bear Country Kitchen, ski lessons from Lesley Beatson and Andy Morel, to a Black Jack ski pass and a Powderhound cross-country ski package.
“Membership does get you entry into the early-bird draw. That was something new too, instead of doing one big final draw right at the deadline, we’re kind of spreading out and just trying to get people to sign up earlier and get a buzz going earlier.”
The Grand Prize draws include an adult ski pass at Red, a Big Red Cat skiing day, a night at the Waterfront Fairmont in Vancouver, and a night at the Prestige Resort in Nelson.
Membership funds go right back into the club, and its maintenance, which cov-ers daily grooming and fixed costs for
equipment, utilities, and groomers. The facility has over 40 km. of groomed
trails, a large main cabin, two warm-up ski cabins, 2.5-kilometres of lighted track for night skiing, a biathlon range, a doggy loop, and a terrain park for kids.
Black Jack is an incredible facility that promotes health and fitness for the whole family, says Luppens.
“For a small town it’s surprisingly good. We’re right up there in terms of the top spots certainly in the province for quality of snow, length of season, quality of grooming, amount of trails, variety of trails, all those kinds of things . . . There’s also very few spots in the province that you drive five minutes and you’re there.”
The club is especially proud of its kids program, which starts with the Bunnies, age 4-5, Jackrabbits, 6-9, and Track Attack, 10-12, and progresses through to junior racers and biathlon athletes inter-ested in competing.

SUPER LEAGUE CURLING
Schmidt on topBY TIMES CONTRIBUTOR
The Kootenay Savings Super League saw one game go down to the wire last week, while the other three games ended early with four-enders being the common theme.
The game of the night saw the Schmidt Rink pull out their fourth win in a row. After Team Albo took one in the first, skip Desiree Schmidt made a beautiful double take-out for three in the second. The teams traded singles for the next three ends before Schmidt took two in the sixth, then stole a single in the seventh for a comfort-able 7-3 lead.

Super League on ice tonight
FROM PAGE 10But Albo had other plans, storming back with
three in the eighth, and stealing the ninth to tie the game 7-7 coming home. However, Schmidt buried one early and didn’t have to throw her last rock for an entertaining 8-7 win.
Skip Theresa Hiram of Maglio Ladies made a nice draw to the four foot for one in the first end, but 5NPlus’ Dean Horning came back with four in the second and a single steal in the third. The determined Ladies got two back in the fourth, but never scored again, as 5N Plus pulled away for an 8-3 win.
Team Nichol was down 2-0 to the Ken Fines rink entering the third end, but a four ender turned the game in Nichol’s favour. With steals in the fourth, fifth and eighth ends, team Nichol cruised to another 8-3 win.
Rob Ferguson didn’t allow Team Morehouse any momentum at all, coming out of the gates with a four ender in the first and another in the fifth, on his way to a 10-2 thrashing.
Schmidt and 5N Plus stand atop the stand-ings with eight points each, closely followed by Ferguson with seven and Nichol with six.
The Kootenay Savings Super League continues this Thursday at the Trail Curling Club. Games start at 7 p.m. Spectators welcome, come out and watch some great curling.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSWASHINGTON - Chris
Carpenter was every bit the post-season ace he’s been in the past for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Taking the mound for only the fourth time in 2012, mis-sing a rib after surgery to cure numbness on his right side, the 37-year-old Carpenter pitched scoreless ball into the sixth inning, rookie Pete Kozma deliv-ered a three-run homer, and the defending champion Cardinals beat the Washington Nationals 8-0 Wednesday to take a 2-1 lead in their NL division series.
All in all, quite a damper on the day for a Nationals Park-record 45,017 red-wearing, tow-el-twirling fans witnessing the first major league post-season game in the nation’s capital in
79 years.Three relievers finished the
shutout for the Cardinals, who can end the best-of-five ser-ies in Thursday’s Game 4 at Washington.
Kyle Lohse will start for St. Louis. Ross Detwiler pitches for Washington, which is sticking to its long-stated plan of keeping Stephen Strasburg on the side-line the rest of the way.
The Cardinals won 10 fewer games than the majors-best Nationals this season and fin-ished second in the NL Central, nine games behind Cincinnati, sneaking into the post-season as the league’s second wild-card under this year’s new format. But the Cardinals become a differ-ent bunch in the high-pressure playoffs - no matter that slugger
Albert Pujols and manager Tony La Russa are no longer around.
Carpenter still is, even though even he didn’t expect to be pitch-ing this year when he encoun-tered problems during spring training and needed an oper-ation in July to correct a nerve problem. The top rib on his right side was removed, along with connecting muscles.
He returned Sept. 21, going 0-2 in three starts totalling 17 innings, so it wasn’t clear how he’d fare Wednesday. Yeah, right. Carpenter allowed seven hits and walked two across his 5 2-3 innings to improve to 10-2 over his career in the post-sea-son. That includes a 4-0 mark while helping another group of wild-card Cardinals take the title in the 2011 World Series.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESSMONTREAL - Montreal will name a street
and a park after Gary Carter, the Hall of Fame catcher who defined the golden era of a once-beloved franchise.
Carter died in February of cancer at age 57.On Wednesday, the city announced the
details of its tribute to the player who starred with the now-defunct Expos for more than half of his career.
The street borders Jarry Park, where the Expos played for most of their first decade and where Carter made his big-league debut.

Carpenter dismantles Nats BASEBALL
BY TIMES STAFFThe Beaver Valley Nitehawks skated to
a 4-1 win over the Spokane Braves Tuesday night.
The Hawks’ Russell Mortlock converted a pass from Danny Vlanich and broke a 1-1 tie at 8:13 of the second period to retake top spot in the Neil Murdoch Division. Beaver Valley sits one point ahead of the Rebels with a game in hand.
Mortlock also assisted on the first goal dishing off to Riley Brandt who fed Jordon Magico for the opening goal early in the first frame.
Spokane tied it up at 5:09 but that’s all Hawks rookie goalie Dominic Stadnyk would allow as he stopped 26 of 27 shots for the victory.
Ryan Edwards added an insurance goal on the power play and Coleton Dawson would nail it down at 15:38 of the third.
Defenceman Nick Perez had another good night with two assists and continues to lead the Hawks in scoring and is fifth overall in the KIJHL with 4-10-14.
The Nitehawks faceoff against the Kamloops Storm on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. at the Beaver Valley Arena.

The next step in the return of PST to BC is underway –
the business transition phase. This month businesses are receiv-ing a letter from the Provincial Government reminding them that it’s time to organize internally for handling the new “old” PST. Government outreach has begun in earnest to notify, explain, console and, of course, register
b u s i n e s s e s with PST.
First some background.
The ori-ginal PST l e g i s l a t i o n was enact-ed 60 years ago in July 1948 at 3%. That PST Act, with revision and rate increases, remained in force until the introduc-tion of the HST in July 2010. It combined the PST and GST into one
value added tax. In turn, the anti-HST referendum a year later forced the government to reverse course and
ultimately re-establish the PST in BC.
The merits of the HST versus the merits of a GST/PST tax regime are not up for debate. However the reality is, the PST system of taxa-tion will cost business upfront with new soft-ware and systems, and on an ongoing basis through additional and duplicated business practices and account-ing procedures.
And of course, the PST translates into high-er prices for consumers. As it was before, any PST paid on products or services a business purchases to carry on its business cannot be netted against the PST collected from the cus-tomer. This means the PST cascades through the supply chain all the way to the end product yielding a compounded tax effect buried in the price to the final pur-chaser.
Yes, a simplified and generalized description
but, nonetheless, the mathematics of it. And yes, the HST for the service industry hurt, but the issues it cre-ated could have been resolved by varying the application rules on government’s part.
The new legislation enacting the reintro-duction of the PST takes effect April 1, 2013, and all businesses have to register and be issued a new PST number – old numbers will not be rec-ognized. Registration begins January 2, 2013 and can be completed on-line. There is a rea-sonable government website with lots of links at PSTinBC.ca as a start.
The rate? For now anyway, it returns at 7 per cent. And it appears exemptions exist as before for food, most personal services, admissions, member-ships, reading materi-als, children’s clothing, bicycles, transportation fares and real estate.
As for “sin” items, the PST returns to alco-hol but the government states that there will be an offsetting decrease on liquor product mark-ups so prices should not be affected.
For tobacco, the PST
portion of the HST will be eliminated, but the tobacco tax rate will increase so that the price of tobacco products will remain unchanged.
And for those who can afford vehicles of $55,000 or more, the luxury surtax of 1% to 3% applies once again.
At this time, the government has not released its transition plan to take it through the period surrounding the actual April 1 imple-mentation date. This plan will outline what and when and where items that are pur-chased will have HST applied or PST/GST.
These transition rules will affect consum-ers and the timing of some of their purchases, but the real challenge will be for businesses so that their reporting of purchases and sales accurately reflects the tax or taxes that apply. Hopefully this informa-tion is quick to come so plans can be made and costly mistakes avoided.

Tax Tips & Pits
THE CANADIAN PRESSTORONTO - A new poll suggests more
Canadians are living debt free this year compared to 2011.
The annual RBC survey found that 26 per cent of respondents had no personal debt - excluding mortgage debt - in 2012, up from 22 per cent last year.
However, the poll found that on aver-age Canadians are carrying $13,141 in non-mortgage debt, up $84 from last year.
Ontario residents were carrying the heaviest load at $15,361 while Quebecers had the least at $10,171.
Some 40 per cent of those polled said they were comfortable with their current debt level, down from 45 per cent last year.
And one-in-three respondents said their debt levels are a source of anxiety - up slightly from 2011.
Richard Goyder, vice-president of per-sonal lending at RBC, says it’s “encouraging that the results show more Canadians have become debt-free over the past year.”
The poll also found a majority of respondents - 51 per cent - said it’s more important right now to pay down debt rather than save and invest for the future.
And 76 per cent said they’re in better financial shape than their neighbours.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney have repeatedly warned Canadians about borrowing too much and identified house-hold debt as a key risk to the economy.
The International Monetary Fund also raised concerns in a report this week about the amount of borrowing in Canada and how it could affect the economy.
Canadian average household debt, which includes mortgage debt, in relation to disposable income rose to a record 152 per cent at the end of 2011.
The online poll of 2,041 Canadian adults was conducted from July 27 to August 2.
The polling industry’s profession-al body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, says online sur-veys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population.
More Canadians living debt free: poll

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSTOKYO - Toyota Motor
Corp. is recalling more than 7.4 million vehicles around the world, including some 240,000 in Canada, to fix a faulty power-window switch - the latest, massive quality woes for Japan’s top auto-maker.
The recall, announced Wednesday affects more than a dozen models pro-duced from 2005 through 2010.
The power-window switch on the driver’s side didn’t have grease applied evenly during production, causing friction in the switch and
sometimes smoke, according to Toyota.
No crashes or injuries have been reported related to the defect. But more than 200 problems were reported in U.S. and a fewer number of problems were reported elsewhere, including 39 cases in Japan, Toyota spokesman
Joichi Tachikawa said.Recalled in North America
are the Yaris, Corolla, Matrix, Camry, RAV4, Highlander, Tundra, Sequoia and Scion models xB and xD, spanning 2.47 million vehicles.
Some 460,000 vehicles are being recalled in Japan. The models are the Vitz,
Belta, Ractis, Ist, Auris and Corolla Lumion. The Yaris, Corolla, Auris, Camry and Rav-4 are being recalled in Europe, totalling 1.39 mil-lion vehicles.
The sprawling recall also applies to cars in Australia, China and elsewhere in Asia and the Middle East.
Toyota issues
massive recall
LEISURE
Dear Annie: My husband is a wonder-ful man in almost every respect. But when we are in the car together, he uses road rage to manipulate me into agreeing to things I don’t want. He’ll drive threateningly if I don’t say it’s OK for him to take that fishing trip or go to a movie. When he is the driver, he con-trols everyone because we are dependent on him.
I have pointed this out to him, but it always ends in a ter-rible fight. Worse, he punishes me by saying, “I will never take that trip again,” or “I won’t go to that movie with you.” He accuses me of provoking him.
My husband’s nephew was the target of the same abuse when we traveled together recently. The boy was behaving like an angel, when suddenly my hus-band became enraged and demanded all sorts of concessions from his nephew.
For the longest time, I didn’t realize what was going on. I thought he just couldn’t handle driving. What I didn’t understand is that he uses road rage as a form of bullying and abuse. I don’t know how I was so blind for so many years. It is the perfect tool to get away with whatever he wants. It also is a form of torture, because he makes us feel respon-sible should he have an accident.
I don’t know wheth-er we will ever go on another trip together or even to a movie, but I am willing to go by myself or with a friend -- and my husband knows it. I have no idea
where our marriage is headed after 24 years, but I am preparing myself to do whatever it takes. I don’t believe he would go for coun-seling, but I refuse to let him drive me any-where ever again. -- Virginia Wife
Dear Virginia: You are wise not to get into a car with this maniac. Since your husband is “wonderful” when he isn’t driving, however, please reconsider coun-seling. You don’t know how he will respond until you ask and make it clear how unhappy you are about such manipulative, control-ling behavior. (But go in separate cars.)
Dear Annie: Members of my family love to extend invita-tions to birthday par-ties at a restaurant of their choice, and they expect you to bring a gift and pay for your own meal.
It is my under-standing that the host handles the food bill in expectation that the
guests will bring gifts and have a great time. This is the way I have known it to be done. Now that I live in the South, social etiquette among my family members has become strained and has caused me to decline invitations. -- Confused in N.C.
Dear Confused: The hosts should pay for the food. Unfortunately, many folks don’t real-ize this or don’t care. In your case, however, you already know that your relatives expect you to foot your own bill, so consider these invitations “pot luck” and accept or decline according to your pref-erence.
Dear Annie: I’m sorry it has taken me this long to reply to “Clueless on Cancer Etiquette.” It is refresh-ing to hear from some-one who cares enough not to ask the wrong questions.
I’m an 87-year-old WW II veteran with stage 4 cancer. I’d
suggest “Clueless” be friendly, caring and cheerful, and not ask about their illness. Let them open the conver-sation about cancer if they want to discuss it. We want our friends to behave the same as always so we can enjoy
each other’s company. When my wife was
sick with cancer, her so-called “friends” stayed away as if she were contagious. Only one made any attempt to cheer her up by having breakfast with her every day. That
was the only food my wife would eat, as she was otherwise too depressed. Thank you, “Clueless,” for your thoughtfulness. -- Mike

SOLUTION FOR YESTERDAY’S SUDOKU
Sudoku is a number-plac-ing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each col-umn and each 3x3 box contains the same num-ber only once. The diffi-culty level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Friday.

LEISURE
For Friday, Oct. 12, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Because you feel strong today, your confidence at work is likewise stronger. This invigorated energy will help you get a lot done. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a playful day! (You would rather have fun than work.) However, it can be a productive day for those of you involved in creative proj-ects or sports or who work with children. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’ll enjoy relaxing at home today; however, if you entertain at home, you’ll enjoy this, too. It’s a laid-back, easygoing day for you. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The mind is a powerful thing. When you’re full of positive thoughts, you’re happier. That’s what’s hap-pening today: You’re full of happy, positive thoughts.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’re feeling more optimis-tic about your financial scene, because this is where you have put some thought and energy. You like to shop, but you don’t like to be in debt. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a feel-good day for Virgos. You feel energetic, positive and up for anything. Your enthusiasm could cause you to go overboard in some way. Be careful. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Because you have a sense of genuine concern for oth-ers, especially those who are less fortunate, you will put the needs of others before your own today. (Call it a Mother Teresa thang.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Meetings, classes and casual get-togethers will be upbeat and enjoyable today. Be careful about agreeing to take on more than you might
really want to do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because you feel confi-dent and strong today, you’re ready to impress bosses and authority figures. Nevertheless, don’t bite off more than you can chew. Don’t give yourself unreal-istic deadlines in order to impress someone. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Travel plans look excit-
ing! You are thrilled to be able to expand your world by meeting people from other cultures or by seeing new places. Do something differ-ent today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) If you are dividing or shar-ing something today, make sure you take care of your own best interests. Don’t give away the farm. Conversely, make sure others get their fair share!
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Relations with others are particularly warm today, because people feel effusive and expansive. Everyone wants everyone to have a good time! YOU BORN TODAY You have excellent money savvy and also are very gener-ous. (You are never petty.) You don’t mind the lime-light, because many of you are natural performers. You
have comical wit and flam-boyance. Because of your larger-than-life qualities, others often depend on you. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved with for nine years will diminish or end in order to make room for something new. Birthdate of: Hugh Jackman, actor; Alice Childress, play-wright/novelist; Martie Maguire, musician. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

NELSON – Local conservation groups are applauding news that the East Kootenay Conservation Program (EKCP) now includes the West Kootenay.
This geographic expansion means that the renamed umbrella organization – now the Kootenay Conservation Program (KCP) – will forge new partnerships and help focus activ-ities around private land conservation in both the East and West Kootenay.
“For years now, many groups in the West Kootenay have looked at the conserva-tion achievements of the EKCP and its part-ners and asked for something similar,” said Program Manager, Dave Hillary.
“We’ve expanded our service area to meet this need, and are excit-ed by the opportunities for the new Kootenay Conservation Program to assist local groups in conserving and stew-arding important pri-vate land in the both East and West.”
Since its beginning in 2002, the EKCP has been working to support the conservation of pri-vate lands by building partnerships through-out the East Kootenay, and more recently in the West Kootenay.
Within its expanded service area, the organ-ization has facilitated the conservation of over 300,000 hectares of bio-logical diverse and high value land, representing a conservation invest-ment of over $100 mil-lion in the region.
“KCP knows the west is different from the east,” says Grant Trower, of Friends of the Lardeau River and also a public repre-sentative for the Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program (Columbia) Steering Committee.
“The new KCP will be working on local conservation priorities, and supporting groups and agencies already working to sustain nat-urally functioning eco-systems,” says Grant, adding, “It’s logical for KCP to be working Kootenay-wide to forge regional bonds since people who live here value the fish, wildlife
and natural spaces that make this part of B.C. so special.”
The KCP has hit the ground running.
It was one of several partners that recently announced the Nature Conservancy of Canada has purchased 306 acres (124 hectares) in the Creston Valley near Wynndel. This land is home to endangered Northern Leopard frogs, at-risk Western Painted turtles, Townsend’s big-eared bats, and is a wild-life corridor for grizzly bears moving between the Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges.
A portion of the property will remain in agriculture, at the same time as conservation measures are taken to safeguard at-risk plants and animals.
“Conservation of wildlife habitat and agri-cultural lands depends on a broad range of partners including for-estry, farmers, govern-ments, industry and others,” said Hillary. “Our recent success in the Creston Valley is an excellent example of how diverse part-ners can work together to achieve important ecological, cultural and economic wins, that in the long run sustain the resilience of Kootenay communities.”
West Kootenay organizations join regional conservation program

Species like this rare Northern Leopard frog, and others, will benefit from new Kootenay-wide conservation efforts under the name of the recently-announced Kootenay Conservation Program, formerly the East Kootenay Conservation Program.
