B Y L I Z B E V A NTimes Staff
November 11 is an annu-al reminder of the sacrifice made by our military and gives Canadians a chance to reflect.
However, the veneration of soldiers coming home after seeing battle hasn’t always been around.
Emile Gobat, a veteran of the Battle of Normandy in World War II, didn't see a lot of fanfare when he stepped off the boat from Europe in 1946.
“Coming home from the war was a terrible letdown, I hate to say it,” he said dur-ing a sit-down interview in his home on Gobat Road in Rossland.
“I was in the Royal Canadian Electrical Mechanical Engineers, so I was kept a whole year after the war in Holland, process-ing the equipment. When I came home, the war had already been over for quite a while.
“We landed in Halifax and there was a four-man brass band tooting away. There were bunks piled four-high
and it took 10 days, but the food was good. It was American food. It wasn't much of a welcome home.”
The Rossland resident says some of the soldiers who returned to Canada before him had carved out a bad reputation – nothing like the reputation the mili-tary has today.
“Practically the entire
Canadian army had already been repatriated and out of those repatriates, there were some bad eggs,” he said. “We had a bad name, so I came home and took my uniform off right away. It is much different today.”
These days, the 92-year-old is happy to see how veterans are respected and honoured.
“I think it is a big thing and it is very important” he said.
Gobat took the opportu-nity to honour World War II and his service by returning to Normandy.
“I was there in 2004 and it was very emotional going back to the beaches.”
He even got a chance to meet the Queen of England.
“Her Majesty was there and I had a chat with her on the beach,” he said. “She did her walkabout and she came and spoke to me and I completely forgot my man-ners. You are supposed to say ‘Your Majesty,’ when she speaks to you, (and I didn't).”
Gobat was part of the 4th Canadian Armoured Division that landed in Normandy over a month after the D-Day invasion in the summer of 1944. Before that, he and his regi-ment were set up in Kent, England with fake tanks and fake guns.
The idea was to make Hitler and his command-ers believe that the Allies were going to attack France across the thinnest part of the English Channel at Calais, rather than at Juno, Utah, Omaha, Gold and Sword Beaches.
“We had poles for guns, then we had plywood planks that looked like a tank from one angle,” said Gobat. “It didn't take much. All they had to observe us were the aircraft, the Luftwaffe, and by June, the German air force was nearly non-exis-tent.
(Hitler) massed all of these divisions right near Dover and then we landed all the way over in Normandy.

Remembrance Day plans in Trail are a bit different this year after the tragic events in Ottawa last month at the National War Memorial.
This year, Cadets Canada has issued a direction to all units across the country, including Trail's 531 Squadron Royal Canadian Air Cadets, to remove their uniforms directly after Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Major Kevin DeBiasio, an area cadet instructor based in Trail, says it is all about taking extra precau-tions to keep members safe.
“(Removing uniforms) is our direction from the national head-quarters,” he said. “As far as we know, it is just an abundance of pre-caution (after the Ottawa attacks). Everything else is basically the same, we are just being a little more vigilant.”
Greg Hill, president of the Royal
Canadian Legion Branch No. 11 in Trail says the added precautions are something that is necessary to ensure safety.
“I really don't blame them and I don't blame the command for doing that,” he said. “I am just glad they are going to be in the ceremony. Honest to God, we just can't take any chances.”

Earlier this summer, the Trail Historical Society commemorated the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War One with excerpts from a letter penned by Herb Jackson, a CM&S pipefitter and sol-dier. As we approach a particularly humbling Remembrance Day
service, the THS presents yet another first-hand account of The Great War. Given the anniversary, television programming lately is focusing con-
siderably on this particular war. They depict healthy and vibrant young men, eager to serve their country with the limited knowledge they had of a complicated political incident.
The letter on the left, once again addressed to MP and area recruitment officer Jim Schofield, tells a frank story of frontline warfare experienced by a young Trail man, who undoubtedly spent his 25th birthday in the trenches in France.
His Attestation Paper, signed on November 20, 1914, lists him as a 24 year-old rancher from Columbia Gardens. He indicates he possesses no past military experience, yet is still willing to join the ranks of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. No doubt this letter is tame in comparison to what he faced; however, his words still present a candid and early out-look of a conflict that endured for another three, brutal years.
The Trail Historical Society would like to remind everyone of the Remembrance Day ceremonies on Nov. 11 at the Cenotaph in downtown Trail as well as ceremonies in Rossland and Fruitvale.
A Look BAck
Pte. J. Morrison, No 63654Coy 4 Battalion, CEFFranceJune 29, 1915
Mr. Schofield:You will be surprised to hear from me. I
have been thinking of writing to you lots of times, but as a matter of fact, I am a poor letter writer. You will be surprised to hear of Herbert Jackson being wounded. He is not severely wounded, just enough to send him to “Blighty” for little while. He got hit with shrapnel. Me and another lad carried him to the dressing station about one mile and a half. He was hit in seven places.
We are in the trenches and about fifty yards from the Germans. We had a mine under their trench and they discovered it and blew it up. It is remarkable the way we live here in the trenches, all some ground hogs. We have been in some pretty hot places. In Ypres, we saw what gas was like. Some of our boys made a charge and they captured two trenches and went to take the third, but had to go back to the first because reinforcements did not come. They were short of bombs. There was some pretty hard fighting. We were at Festinbert (Festubert) where we were under some terrible shell fire losing quite a lot. I had some narrow escapes here, bombs dropping three times in three different places. Men killed and buried. We had to dig them out. The snipers are bad, losing quite a few men. The Germans have it in for the Canadians.
This is a lovely country and it seems unreasonable that such a war should ruin such a country. Everywhere we go in the trenches, we see soldiers’ graves, and in places hundreds lying unburied. If you go to bury them you would be shelled by the Germans. Everything is a system here. We have been in the trenches on and off for two weeks. It will be a God send when this terrible war is over.
How is everything in Trail, Mr. Schofield? I supposed our friend the Smelter is still work-ing full time.
I am dispatch running for our company and I am kept busy some times. I don’t think I have had five hours sleep in three days. After a while, we get used to it.
I think I will quit, for you will be getting tired reading this.
Yours sincerely,Jimmie Morrison

FROM PAGE 1ceremony isn’t the only change to this year’s plan for Remembrance Day.
This year, the parade route through downtown Trail is shortened for security reasons, but also to maximize participation. The parade will start at the FortisBC building on the Esplanade, march up Eldorado Street to the cenotaph.
“We agreed (with the RCMP) on the shorter parade route because a lot of our older veterans can’t march the entire route,” said Hill. “It wasn’t the only reason, but it was another part of the decision making.”
Trail RCMP are tightening security on the parade route, and even at the cenotaph, but they are keeping their plans under wraps ahead of Remembrance Day.
“There is going to be heightened security at the cenotaph this year,” said Hill. “I am not at liberty to discuss anything about it, but the RCMP has already talked to us about it. That is their baby.”
Poppy distribution also took a back seat to safety this year, with a less than usual number of cadets joining the volunteers standing in front of local stores selling the lapel pins.
“We have to follow some very tight rules and not every unit was able to meet those require-ments,” said Major DeBiasio. “It’s all about super-vision. It’s all about the cadets being properly supervised and cared for.”
The Remembrance Day parade in Trail begins at 10:30 a.m. with the ceremony at the cenotaph directly after.
Trail Times file phoTo
On the heels of the attack at the National War Memorial in Ottawa last month, extra precaution is being observed at Remembrance Day ceremonies across the country including Trail. Cadets will be instructed to change out of their uniforms immediately after the ceremony.
Shorter parade route allows more vets to join
FROM PAGE 1“It was a diversion and it worked
very well, but then again, Hitler was an idiot.”
When July 29th rolled around, Gobat, along with the rest of his division, were loaded onto a landing craft and sent towards Normandy to back up the troops that had pre-ceded them in the D-Day landings.
“The infantry had to establish a beachhead before an armoured division could move in with tanks,” he said.
“We then had lots of room to move about and engage. I went in a landing craft and was thigh-deep in sea water walking on to the beach in a little town called Graye-Sur-Mer.
“We knew what we were going to be doing, since the first invasion was on the 6th of June.”
Back in the 1940s, Gobat says the mission was clear. Allied forces had no choice but to fight for free-dom, but he says things aren’t as black and white today.
“As a soldier, you serve without question,” he said.
“Some of the things they do and the places they go (now) are not as defensively important as it was to destroy Hitler and the German machine.
“If Hitler had won, there would be no black people and there would be no Russian people. He would have annihilated them. I was over there for three and a half years.
“The guys overseas now are there for six months because the army says they can’t be over there longer. Try doing three and a half years.”
Gobat will be attending the Remembrance Day ceremonies in Rossland this year. Although he says he doesn’t like being the cen-tre of attention, he goes every year to represent World War II vets.
“I had my group of buddies in Winnipeg and I was the only one who made it back,” he said.
“There are so few veterans of the Second World War nowadays, really few, and I am one of them.
“You get there will all of your medals, your legion uniform and everybody is looking at you, but I go.”
Gobat arrived after initial D-Day landings
Emile Gobat says there are a few stories that will stick out in his mind for the rest of his life and one took place at the Battle of the Falaise Pocket.
In mid-August 1944, the Canadians were near the end of the Battle of Normandy. American troops had circled around and trapped over 100,000 German soldiers between two factions of allied sol-diers, leaving them no place to go.
Gobat says once the German soldiers were starting to get processed, something hap-pened that he will never forget.
“The elite of the German sol-diers had escaped,” he said. “General Patton was a bit of an idiot and didn’t close the gap immediately, so quite a few high-ranking Germans escaped. What was left – let’s call them expend-able German troops.
“The German high command had left them there and as they were being processed to go into POW camps, I was there with my rifle to make sure they were
unarmed and so on.”German soldiers at the time fell
victim to false propaganda from the German high command, and were indoctrinated to believe that if they were captured by Allied troops, they would instantly be killed, recalled Gobat.
“I remember one young fellow, he was a German soldier, he couldn’t have been much older that 15 or 16 and probably part of the Hitler-Jugend (Hitler Youth),” said
Gobat. “This kid was terrified because he had been trained to believe that we took no prisoners. That poor kid was terrified because of all of Goebbels’ (propaganda). I just wanted to hug and comfort him. Those poor kids. Thankfully the war was almost overt.”
That young soldier, along with the rest of the 100,000 German soldiers trapped by the Allies, made it to England, where they were placed in POW camps until the war was over and were repatri-ated back to Germany.

Trail shelter set to open next weekB y S h e r i r e g n i e r
Times StaffWhen November
drizzle turns to snow, the local shelter will be ready to offer the homeless a little com-fort for the night.
The La Nina Extreme Weather Emergency Shelter is slated to open in the Trail United Church Nov. 15, after the local organization that runs the service was award-ed funding for six beds each night until the end of March.
BC Housing released $1.6 million this week to fund over 1,000 temporary spac-es in 90 communities
across the province, although each com-munity decides what weather conditions warrant an alert and how many spaces to activate on a given night.
Last year, 25 people (17 male and eight female) were offered a warm place to rest their heads from 9 p.m. until 8 a.m. by out-reach workers at the Career Development Services (CDS)
However, one or more nights of warm bed in a safe place isn't the ultimate goal – finding a more perma-nent fix, is.
Shelter users are
hooked up with a CDS support worker through the Getting to Home project, an ini-tiative which started in 2012 that now employs one part time person to help secure housing by working with land-lords to ensure needs are met.
The support work-ers vouches for the individuals and helps them navigate the sys-tem to look for a hous-ing solution for those who wind up at the shelter for one reason or another.
Shelter users include those with mental health chal-lenges, court restric-
tions and drug and alcohol conditions.
La Nina first opened its doors in 2011 with support from the Trail United Church and the Salvation Army, with backing from BC Housing to house the homeless only when the temperature dropped to -10 C at night.
The responsibility was handed off to CDS, a non-profit organi-zation that connects clients and business partners together to provide mutual ben-efit while enriching lives, workplaces and Kootenay communi-ties.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVICTORIA - In just 24 hours,
British Columbia’s government went from supporting to sink-ing a proposal from BC Ferries to stop rising fares by cutting routes and closing terminals in Nanaimo and Horseshoe Bay.
The about-face had the head of BC Ferries warning on Wednesday that the govern-ment has taken away one of the company’s primary means of controlling costs and major fare hikes could result.
“To be perfectly clear, with government not wanting to consider the major route strat-egy, I mean that represents 80 per cent of our costs,” said BC Ferries president and chief executive office Mike Corrigan.
“Without being able to look and explore the major routes, we’re looking at having dif-ficulty now keeping fares at inflationary increases. That’s going to be basically impos-sible now.”
BC Ferries looked at the idea of dropping routes and closing terminals to save costs in a Sept. 30 efficiency and performance report presented to ferry commissioner Gordon Macatee. The commissioner regulates fares and service lev-els and acts independently of the provincial government and B.C. Ferries Inc.
The report said BC Ferries
will have to spend $1.1 bil-lion over the next 15 years to replace six major vessels and upgrade the Horseshoe Bay ter-minal at a cost of $200 million.
The report, which examined issues up to 2020 and beyond, stated: “These options may include such strategies as, con-solidating the two mid-Island routes, consolidating two mid-Island terminals, leveraging a passenger-only service or shift route 2 service from Horseshoe Bay to Tsawwassen.”
Transportation Minister Todd Stone said on Tuesday that he would consider proposals in the report, but on Wednesday said he was lobbied intensely by his caucus colleagues and determined the status quo was the preferred option.
“Over the last 24 hours, I’ve had very good conversations with my Island colleagues,” said Stone, who is in Regina for Western partnership meetings. “They made some very strong and eloquent arguments.”
He said Island Liberal MLAs, Michelle Stilwell and Don McRae, convinced him closing terminals and cancelling the major Nanaimo route to the Mainland does not make eco-nomic or social sense.
“The B.C. government has no interest in cancelling or seeing the cancellation of the Horseshoe Bay to Departure
Bay run,” said Stone. “That’s an iconic run in B.C. There’s no appetite whatsoever within the B.C. government to see BC Ferries cancel that run.”
He said there are currently no government plans to close the Nanaimo ferry terminals at Duke Point or Departure Bay.
“The B.C. government has determined that is not an initia-tive we would like to pursue at this time,” Stone said.
Stone also rejected calls for BC Ferries to consider a passen-ger-only service from Nanaimo to the Lower Mainland.
Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan said he was flooded with calls and emails from residents concerned about the potential terminal closures and service reductions.
He said people reacted as if the report’s suggestions were final rather than proposals for consideration.
“When they say this is just a tentative report don’t be con-cerned about it, it’s just a plan, it’s a wish list,” Ruttan said. “Well, that’s fine and dandy, but we’ve got a lot of anxious people who are concerned. I’ve had all kinds of emails and phone calls, particularly the elderly saying I need that service.”
BC Ferries is undergoing an efficiency plan to cut $54 mil-lion in costs in an effort to keep fare increases in check.
Government reverses course on ferry cuts and terminal closings
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SKELOWNA, B.C. - BC Transit says surveil-
lance cameras will be rolling on some buses in the central Okanagan next spring after a man was stabbed to death on Kelowna transit.
The transit authority says only the skel-etons of cameras were on the bus when Caesar Rosales was killed last week, and no lenses were on the devices at the time.
Bus passengers helped police identify a sus-pect after the stabbing last Thursday.
BC Transit spokeswoman Meribeth Burton says passengers are demanding tighter security following the incident and the cameras will be another tool to make things safer.
She says surveillance cameras will be installed on buses across the province in the spring, something that has been in the works for more than two years.
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVICTORIA - British
Columbia’s Energy Minister Bill Bennett is in Alaska to soothe concerns about the province’s mining industry, which he says is perceived by many Alaskans as a threat to their environment and salmon fishery.
Bennett will address the annual Alaska Miners Association convention in Anchorage, and meet with state officials, commercial and sport
fishing organizations and aboriginal groups during his two-day visit.
“There is this impression in some parts of Alaska that our environmental stan-dards, compliance and enforcement efforts are not as strong as theirs,” Bennett said in an interview.
“My purpose in going up there ... is to talk to folks about how our process actually works. How do you get a mine permitted in
B.C.”Bennett said con-
cerns about B.C.’s plans to expand its mining interests in the province’s north have heightened since last summer’s massive tail-ings pond failure at the Mount Polley mine in the central Interior.
“All of a sudden we have now a potential issue with Alaska given that many of these (mine) projects are located in B.C. water-sheds that ultimately flow into Alaska water-
sheds,” Bennett said. “They are hearing
these stories about B.C.’s standards and they are hearing about Mount Polley.”
Bennett said he is meeting with Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican who has expressed concerns about the province’s mining industry.
Aboriginal groups in Alaska have called for municipalities and organizations there to register concerns about B.C. mining issues and their poten-tial impact in Alaska.
“In a nutshell, the British Columbian government doesn’t give a damn about us over here,” said aboriginal leader Rob
Sanderson Jr., in a recent statement. He is second vice-president of the Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska.
“British Columbia is up for sale to the high-est bidder,” Sanderson said.
“This is an issue that needs to be dealt with in (Washington) D.C. We live in the most pristine waters in the world, and we share that water with Canada … for Canada to have no regard for us here in Southeast Alaska is a shame.”
Bennett said he needs to go to Alaska to build a stronger relationship with the northern neighbour.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - The
Commons will debate a private member’s bill to bring back the long-form census, the mandatory ques-tionnaire axed by the Conservative govern-ment in 2010.
Liberal MP Ted Hsu’s proposal would amend the Statistics Act to make the long-form census a perma-nent feature of the cen-sus process every five years.
Hsu’s bill leaves the definition of long-form census open to any “new sources of data or data collection prac-tices” that might pop up in the future, and allows the chief statis-tician to decide on the percentage of house-holds that would need to fill it out.
Hsu, a former physi-cist who also worked in the financial sec-tor, said reliable data is critical for govern-ment decision-making,
such as where to build sewer systems, plan bus routes or initiate immigrant services.
“If we want to make smart decisions about how to spend taxpay-ers’ dollars, we need to have good information to do that,” said Hsu.
The private mem-ber’s bill would also change the way the chief statistician is appointed, requiring the government to first consult a selection committee.
The Conservatives replaced the manda-tory long-form with the voluntary National Household Survey, a change that was widely panned by voices as diverse as religious groups and provincial governments.
When the results of the 2011 survey were released, data on more than 1,000 Canadian communities was with-held because of lower response rates.
There were also
fears of bias in some of the data if certain demographics were less likely to fill out the voluntary forms.
Critics have also decried the fact that the information col-lected in 2011 can’t be directly compared to that of 2006.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SREGINA - Saskatchewan’s Opposition
continues to call for the government to cut ties with the manufacturer of smart meters linked to at least eight fires in the province.
The fires last summer prompted the province to order SaskPower to remove more than 100,000 of the electronic util-ity readers that had already been installed in homes.
U.S. manufacturer Sensus is refunding $24 million for all the meters purchased, is crediting SaskPower another $18 mil-lion for new meters and providing an extra $5 million for research.
NDP finance critic Trent Wotherspoon says the government should be reim-bursed for the full $47-million cost of the devices.
He says the relationship with Sensus needs to be scrapped.
The Opposition has also been calling for the resignation of Economy Minister Bill Boyd, who is responsible for SaskPower.
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Two
female New Democrat MPs have been victim-ized a second time by Justin Trudeau’s deci-sion to publicize their complaints of inappro-priate behaviour against two Liberal MPs, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair says.
Mulcair confirmed Thursday that it was complaints from two NDP MPs that prompt-ed Trudeau to suspend Scott Andrews and Massimo Pacetti from the Liberal caucus pending an investiga-tion.
Speaking in Whitby, Ont., Mulcair said he knew about the com-plaints but had not pursued them because the women wanted to keep the matter confi-
dential.“Our No. 1 concern
was to make sure that they got the help they needed and that their wishes were respect-ed,” he said.
“Those wishes included a very strong desire to keep this confidential. That was their request and we were not about to override that and make them victims a second time.”
Mulcair added: “Anyone who went against that, of course, would be running the risk of making them become victims a second time. That’s certainly not some-thing we would ever be part of.”
The Liberal leader announced Wednesday that he was suspending Pacetti and Andrews over allegations of “serious personal mis-
conduct” levelled by two MPs from another party. He did not name the other party or the complainants or speci-fy the nature of the alleged misconduct.
The matter has been referred to the secretive multi-party board of internal economy. The Liberals are asking that an independent third party be brought in to investigate the com-plaints.
Both Pacetti and Andrews deny any wrongdoing and say they expect to be exon-erated.
Trudeau took action after one of the com-plainants personally complained to him on Oct. 28 about the Liberal MPs’ conduct. He instructed Liberal whip Judy Foote to discuss the matter with her NDP counter-
part, Nycole Turmel.Foote also inter-
viewed both com-plainants and the two accused Liberal MPs.
N e v e r t h e l e s s , Mulcair said New Democrats had no idea Trudeau was going to make the matter pub-lic on Wednesday.
“There was no prior warning whatsoever from the Liberals that they were going to be bringing this forward yesterday,” he said.
Liberals have ques-tioned how Trudeau was supposed to respond to a com-plaint made directly to him without reveal-ing, at least in general terms, why he was sus-pending Andrews and Pacetti. Trudeau him-self said Wednesday he had a duty to make the matter public.
“Look, folks, it’s
2014. It’s time that this workplace, like other workplaces across the country, had a process whereby these issues can be aired and dealt with,” he said.
“It is extremely important that we make it very clear that as an institution we will protect and encourage people who come forward with serious allegations of this type.”
Mulcair had a dif-ferent take on his duty.
“We have a right to a safe workplace and that includes Parliament. Women should not have to worry about these things and, if they do have the courage to talk to those around them, we have an obli-gation to respect their wishes as stated,” he said.

OPINION
Government and pharma too cozy for comfortMake no mistake,
drugs are big business, even the behind-the-
counter kind. Last year, the B.C. government spent $1.2 billion on PharmaCare. To put that sum in context: that’s more money than the budgets of the Ministry of Agriculture, Energy and Mines, Environment, International Trade, Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training, and Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services combined.
With stakes like that it’s no surprise that big phar-ma is a generous donor to the B.C. Liberal party.
Since 2005, twenty of some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical firms have donated at least $468,000 to the B.C. Liberals. And that’s corporate donations. It doesn’t include dona-tions from employees or lobbyists. One in-house lobbyist donated a further $15,000.
Then there are dona-tions from groups such as the International Pharmacists Association which gave the Liberals $14,978 and from the front line, chain pharmacies like Pharmasave that gave $13,100, Shoppers Drug Mart $27,325 and London
Drugs more than $41,000.But greasing the wheels,
so to speak, is only part of what big pharma considers as its cost of doing busi-ness. The industry is no wallflower when it comes to pushing their agenda on lawmakers.
Pulling the filings at the Registrar of Lobbyists for just one of those 20 pharmaceutical firms is an eye-popping experience. In what may be the lobbying industry’s equivalent to carpet bombing, the desig-nated filer for Novartis, Geoffrey Squires, has listed more than 600 intend-ed targets for lobbying between his eight filings since 2010. It’s a miracle he has time for lunch.
And Squires is just the designated filer. Accompanying reports were filed for another 26 individuals who lobbied on behalf of Novartis dur-ing that period. And that’s in-house. In its monthly “Who’s Lobbying Who” bulletin for December 2011, B.C.’s Registrar of Lobbyists noted that both Hill & Knowlton and Earnscliffe Strategy Group arranged meetings between the Ministry of Health and Novartis.
While companies in B.C.
don’t have to report how much money they spend lobbying lawmakers, in Washington, D.C. Novartis has spent $49 million lob-bying Congress since 2005.
They’re hardly alone prowling the corridors of power in Victoria. The designated filer for Pfizer had more than 150 intended targets. Comparable stats would likely be found in the filings for AstraZeneca, Merck Frosst or any of the other major pharmaceut-ical firms.
Some of the targets are a little out there though. One firm had Partnerships BC – a Crown corporation focused on the delivery of infrastructure projects – on its list.
Which raises the little matter of what informa-tion British Columbians are privy to when it comes
to the tête-à-têtes between lobbyists and politicians. That famous cartoon line “Th-th-th-that’s all folks!” springs to mind, because a peek at the ‘here’s hoping’ list is pretty well it.
There’s no provision in the act that requires lob-byists to disclose who they met with, just who they’d like to meet with. Maybe. Possibly. If it’s mutually convenient.
It’s one of a host of prob-lems with the legislation that B.C.’s registrar of lob-byists Elizabeth Denham hopes to see fixed.
What’s all the chitchat about between the industry and government? It would seem that PharmaCare is top-of-mind. Intended lob-bying outcomes include: provincial reimbursement of medications and “discus-sions related to company investments in research and development initia-tives.”
Because big pharma’s largesse doesn’t stop at political parties. In 2011, Novartis handed out 23 research grants to the UBC Department of Medicine totalling $550,345. B.C. universities figure promin-ently as intended targets in the filings of pharmaceut-ical lobbyists as well.
And, of course, there are the ties that bind.
The in-house lobbyist for one firm has served on the riding association exec-utive of one of B.C.’s most powerful cabinet ministers and is reportedly a prom-inent fundraiser for that minister.
Last year, the Arthritis Research Centre of Canada “welcomed” former B.C. cabinet minister Colin Hansen to its board of directors. Coincidentally, last month, B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake announced $3 million in funding for the centre.
A quick recap: corpora-tions who have a vested interested in the pharma-ceutical listing decisions of the B.C. government donate generously to the party in power, their employees accept voluntary partisan posts in that same party and lobby elected officials from that party, as well as lobbying universities that undertake related research both on their behalf and on behalf of government.
And this never struck anyone in government as potential conflicts of inter-est waiting to happen?

One common theme expressed by most indi-viduals running for council or mayor in Trail is the revitalization of the downtown core.
This isn’t the only agenda presented in their campaign messages but, it reflects a common feeling that downtown core development is one of the priorities. Not only do candidates feel this is a priority but, over the years many residents have expressed the same concern.
The proposed “Riverfront Centre” (Library & Heritage Centre), is just one piece of the puzzle in attracting residents and developers to
Trail. The centre will go a long way to providing the amenities needed to attract residents should an adult living complex be developed on the riverfront. Also, don’t forget, along with new housing, comes new businesses and revitaliza-tion of our downtown core.
Let’s not be short-sighted and just look at the short term effects of this development but have the foresight to see the long term benefits the “Riverfront Centre” will bring to Trail.
Rick Basso, Trail
The United Nations I n t e r g o v e r n m e n t a l Panel on Climate Change has released its
latest “Synthesis Report” draw-ing together the findings of the most recent three-volume set of the Fifth Assessment Report. The Assessment Report is meant to be the last word – at least until the next omnibus review is done – on climate change science and policy options.
Let’s set the science stuff aside for the moment (I’m a climate-accepter, though on the modest end of the worry-range), because the real issue is less the “disease” than it is the proposed treatment for climate change.
Based on the findings of the synthesis report, the UN is call-ing for almost a complete end to fossil fuel use by 2100, with the majority of that decarbon-ization to take place before 2050.
Carbon-based fuels are, by far, the least-cost fuels for reli-able electricity production, and for powering the world’s transportation system. Raising power costs by switching to nuclear, wind, solar, and bio-fuels would seriously degrade our quality of life, pricing development out of the reach of more than two billion people around the world. For Canada, that prescription would be par-ticularly damaging, as it calls for an end to oil sands pro-duction, and abandonment of Canada’s coal, oil and natural gas resources. That’s a major chunk of Canada’s economy eliminated by 2050.
Environmentalists and green-energy hucksters prom-ise to power the world with wind and sunlight, but that’s highly unlikely – wind and solar power are expensive and unreli-able forms of energy genera-tion with their own significant environmental impacts. The most authoritative source that compares the costs of different
kinds of electricity generation on an apples-to-apples basis (energy economists call this the “levelized cost of power”) is the U.S. Energy I n f o r m a t i o n Administrat ion. In its most recent estimations, the EIA lists the cost
of generating new coal power (looking to 2019 construction) at $96/MWh; natural gas at about $65/MWh; solar power comes in between $130/MWh and $243/MWh depending on how you generate it. Wind looks slightly better than it has in the past, at an estimated $80/MWh for on-shore wind, but wind carries problems that transcend price – it’s inter-mittent, it requires redundant back-up power sources, and it comes with its own set of environmental headaches.
And let’s look at Canada’s own experience with green energy. Last year, in a study for the Fraser Institute, Ross McKitrick (Fraser Institute Senior Fellow and economics professor at the University of Guelph) looked at the mess that Ontario got itself into follow-ing the green energy playbook. What McKitrick found was that, in pursuit of a renewable-energy transition in Ontario, power prices were driven to
some of the highest rates in North America, with additional rate hikes of 40 to 50 per cent pending in the next few years. His study showed that 80 per cent of the wind-power gen-erated in Ontario was out of phase with demand, and that this surplus power was sold to the United States at a loss to Ontarians. McKitrick found that Ontario already lost more than $2 billion on wind power, with additional losses of $200 million/year ongoing.
Adding insult to injury, the very modest environmental benefits realized by Ontario through the transition to renewables could have been secured at one-tenth the cost if the province had simply con-tinued to use existing technol-ogies to retrofit existing coal plants.
Advocates for greenhouse gas controls are waving the UN’s newest synthesis report around, asserting that argu-ments over climate policy are now over, as the UN’s defin-itive climate diagnosis has produced a prescription that cannot be questioned. Disagree with them on any particular, from the potential scale of the threat to the impacts of their proposed policies – even if you use the UN’s own data to sup-port your position – and they’ll label you a “denier.” But here’s what can’t be denied: the policy prescriptions of the ENGOs and the United Nations would hike energy prices worldwide, per-petuating energy poverty for billions of people, and debili-tating the few bright economic engines left in the world. It’s a prescription far worse than the disease.

An editorial from the New Glasgow News
Had the federal Conservatives not toughened sentencing provi-sions, Justin Bourque would have been eligible to apply for parole 25 years from now.
That’s not to say it would be granted. But applications to leave prison would occur regularly, reopening the horror of the events he engineered that saw three police officers murdered, two more ser-iously injured and residents in an area of Moncton in lockdown for more than a day.
This is one example of how those changes to the Criminal Code made in 2011 were perfectly in order. In sentencing Bourque, Court of Queen’s Bench Chief Justice David Smith made good use of the ability to hand down consecutive senten-ces for the three counts of murder.
Before the change, as the Conservatives put it, criminals got a volume discount for multiple convictions. The maximum would have been 25 years before parole eligibility.
Canadians – along with justice officials – anticipated this tough sentence, which has been called the
harshest since the last use of the death penalty in 1962. Bourque, if he lives that long, will be 99 years old before having any chance of getting out.
Given the horror of the crime, obviously few will feel any sympa-thy. But the sentence at the same time raises general questions about punitive measures and the role of the prison system.
Theoretically, in addition to punishment, prison is supposed to aim for rehabilitation. But it’s safe to say, with a case like Bourque, few would feel comfortable around him if he got out 25 years from now, a 49-year-old man – no matter what counselling he receives on the inside.
Although many people won’t admit it out loud, for those seeing some nasty piece of work put away for a long time, the feeling of ven-geance comes into play.
On the flip side of that, however, is the reality of maintaining some-one within the prison system for decade after decade and the cost involved.
That represents a downside, unfortunately, one we aren’t going to solve anytime soon.
Punishment fits the crime

Ernst “Ernie” Schulze ‘Papa’ passed away unexpectedly
on October 28, 2014. He was born in Braunschweig, Germany in 1940 where he obtained his trade as a machinist. In 1960
he emigrated to Canada and in 1963 married his beloved wife
Darlene (Blais). Ernie lived and worked in many parts of Canada, including Renfrew, Yellowknife, Rossland, Salmon Valley (Prince
George) and � nally Fruitvale. He worked at Cominco multiple
times and retired from there after working mainly in the
machine shop and brie� y in the lead smelter, in 1997.
Ernie loved to hike in the back country with his friend Tony,
was an avid skier and a member of the ‘Old Bastards Club’ at Red
Mountain. Ernie also loved to visit with family and friends over a beer or a few glasses of wine.
Ernie was predeceased by his be-loved wife Darlene on July 20th of this year, his parents Henny and Erich, younger brothers Klaus and Guenter. He was a
good friend to many, a dedicated husband and a great father and grandfather. He will be greatly missed by his daughter Angela (Howie), grandchildren Alex-
andria and Liam, his cat, Panda and many other family and
friends. � ank you to everyone who
helped him over the past few di� cult months. His unexpected death is a true testament to his love for his wife and the impact that the loss of her had on him.
Darlene Schulze ‘Grandma’ passed away on July 20, 2014 at the Kootenay Boundary Hospital after a brave battle with illness. Darlene had beat the odds too many times to count, but her
resilience and determination were an inspiration to all who knew her. She
was born in Hamilton Ontario in 1941 and lived in many parts of On-tario and Quebec as her father was in the Air Force. She spent much of her childhood on Alumette Island, Quebec and swimming in the Ot-
tawa River. She married her beloved husband, Ernst Schulze in 1963
and afterwards lived and worked in Ontario, Rossland, Salmon Valley
and Fruitvale. After a diverse range of jobs, she � nally retired from SD23
as a school bus driver. Darlene was an eternal optimist who
loved animals and her many pets over the years. She loved to camp
and � sh (even in her high heels) and loved to drive. Darlene was also an avid sewer and quilter and member of � e Beaver Valley Quilters Guild.
A quilt that Darlene had started has been � nished by her friends and donated to the Beaver Valley Nite-
hawks in her memory.Darlene was predeceased by her par-ents, Winnifred and Romuald and
her brothers Claude and Roger. She was a compassionate person, dedicated wife, great mother and
grandmother. Darlene was severe-ly missed by her husband Ernst.
Darlene will be greatly missed by her daughter Angela (Howie), grand-children Alexandria and Liam, her sisters Elizabeth and Marya, best friend Leora, her cat Panda and many other family and friends.
“We will miss you both greatly, but know that you are now reunited. Dad, no excuses now, take Mom dancing!”

visiting the family’s register at www.myalternatives.ca As an expression of sympathy your donations to the Kidney Foundation
of Canada www.kidney.ca would be greatly appreciated.
Kootenay Artist. May 15, 1927, Grand Forks,
BC – November 2, 2014, Vancouver, BC.
When Doolee’s arrival was imminent, her father, D. Bilson
Merry had to fl ag down the train to take her mother (Eva Mitchell Merry) to the Grand Forks hospital. Bilson had a sawmill and logging operation at Paulson. Apparently all went well, for Doolee was born without further ado on 15 May 1927. The family lived at Paulson until 1929 when Bilson decided to return to Trail and the Merry family home in Annable. There, Doolee and her siblings, Patti (Nocente), Sandy (Bijou) and George lived right next to Trail Creek, which was popular in summer for swimming. Their father, Bilson, had a square hole dug and poured with concrete to create a swimming pool for all the children in the area. Bilson’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren are still enjoying the pool.
Doolee showed an aptitude for art from an early age. Some of her earliest work dates from the late ‘30s, when she was about 10 years old. Doolee continued with her art and studied interior design at the University of Manitoba for one year. She attended a session at the Banff School of Fine Arts and met A.Y. Jackson there. She then went to Normal School in Vancouver for teacher training and spent a few years teaching in rural BC.
It was in 1948 that Doolee met the love of her life, Basil McDonnell, and they married in 1950. Basil had come to Trail to work as a chemical engineer and to ski. This was a passion that both Doolee and Basil would share their whole lives and pass on to their fi ve children. Soon Doolee was juggling the demands of motherhood with her art. Despite her responsibilities Doolee was active in the Trail Art Group, and at the East Trail United Church where she created a puppet group that for many years put on puppet shows for local children. In the 1970s she completed her Fine Arts Degree. When Basil retired after 42 years at Cominco, Doolee and Basil moved to Vancouver to be near the children. Doolee was able to concentrate on her art and the years 1989 to the early 2000s were her most productive years.
In 2005, she suffered a devastating loss when Basil died. He had been her helpmate in life and art for all those years. However, Doolee continued to paint, in her studio at The Terraces in Vancouver and during summers at Christina Lake.
Doolee’s art truly refl ects her love of the Kootenays – the mountains, lakes and forests that were the source of her inspiration. She will be greatly missed by all those who love her work and mostly by her family: Ellen and Peter; Nadine and Katherine; Julia; Basil J. and Maureen; Quentin and Michael; grandchildren Marc, Matthew and Serena; her sisters Patti and Sandy, many cousins, nieces and nephews.
In lieu of fl owers, donations can be made to The Grand Forks Art Gallery in Doolee’s name. There will be a memorial in the summer of 2015 at Christina Lake.
Doolee encouraged others to live by words taken from the “Salutation to the Dawn.”
“Look to this day for it is life. Yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well to this day.”

Manfred (Fred) Schwindt
Manfred passed away at his home in Trail on October 27, 2014.
He came to Canada in 1954 and worked as a watchmaker
for Lauener Bros. Jewellers in Trail, until his retirement. He loved Canada
and especially the Kootenays, he became a Canadian citizen on April 26, 1966.
Manfred will be mourned by his cousin Johanna Schwencke of New York, his nephews, nieces and cousins in Germany and his many friends in Canada and Germany.
An informal gathering of his friends will be held in the lounge of the Trail United Church on Saturday, November 15, 2014 at 3:00pm.

Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless other-wise noted.
“When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your kinsmen or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and you be repaid. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind” (Luke 14:12-13).
Giving a banquet for many people involves much time and expense in making plans, cooking, and arranging everything. Jesus tells us not to do this the way every-body else does it, namely for our family and friends, but rather to give banquets only for the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind.
This is revolutionary teaching. It is the opposite of what everyone else does. It is something that almost no one does. We are not to put on this kind of enter-tainment for our family and friends, but only for the poor. It is not worth the trouble to spend so much time and money just to entertain our family and friends. A Christian should not spend his money or waste his time in this way, giving such entertainments.
But it is good to spend our time and money to feed the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind. This would be an act of charity. It would be giving alms to the needy. This, a Christian can do if he wants to give banquets. Only this kind of a banquet is worthy of a
Christian who leaves everything of this world to live only for God with all his heart. Giving banquets for one’s family and friends is not worthy of a Christian.
A Christian should be different from the world. He should live a simple life. He should lose his life in this world for Christ, not try to save it in a worldly way by giving banquets for family and friends (Mark 8:35). He should hate his life in this world, not love it in this way, giving banquets for his family and friends (John 12:25). A Christian renounces everything of this world, including giving banquets for his family and friends, and thus obtains the buried treasure and the pearl of great price (Matt. 13:44-46).
A Christian seeks perfection and so sells everything to give it to the poor (Matt. 19:21). His money and time are for the needy and to serve the Lord, not to squan-der in giving banquets for his family and friends. A Christian uses his money to gain friends among the needy, who will receive him “into the eternal habita-tions” (Luke 16:9). A Christian renounces giving ban-quets for his family and friends because he wants to be a disciple, and this is what a disciple does, for “whoever of you does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:33).

Trail Times Friday, November 7, 2014 www.trailtimes.ca A9
The weather was gentle the day we went to Chamonix. High cloud moderated the heat but the views of Mont Blanc remained clear as we wandered through
the town before sitting down on the terrace of a café to enjoy the street scene and a light lunch.
As she took her seat amongst the cramped tables, my mother accidentally knocked her fork onto the ground A soft-spoken older gentleman at the table beside us reached down to pick it up and a conversation ensued.
As the conversa-tion progressed, we learned that the man was Polish. At the age of fourteen, the Nazis had imprisoned him in a concentra-tion camp. Of the twenty-nine members of his family sent to the death camp, only he and his father sur-vived. He mentioned this traumatic period of his life almost in
passing, and seventy years later, in the presence of strangers, his eyes filled with tears, and he fell silent, lost for a moment in the past.
When I think about my Chamonix friend, my mind wanders first to the past, to a history I have encountered in books and film. Then, with a jolt, it returns to the present, and I think about the son of a friend, who served as a peacekeeper in Kosovo and did duty in Afghanistan, and whose experiences in those places have changed him and his family forever.
I think of the gentle souls, for whom some memories will never heal, and I wonder at the words “lest we forget”, that we associate with red poppies and the act of remembrance. For, as my chance encounter with the man at Chamonix illustrates, war is impossible to forget for those who live through it. It may be more accurate to say, “Lest we block it out” when we speak of the necessity of remembering and the importance of passing down those stories that can orient our hearts towards peace.
“Lest we forget” makes me think of an old veteran that I once saw interviewed around Remembrance Day. For the first time in his life, he spoke about his wartime experience, and broke down weeping on national television. He must have spent a lifetime trying to forget; and although he had tried to block the experience, it hovered over him threatening to destroy the normalcy he feigned.
There was a time when society expected this old veteran, like so many others, to block the bad memories, when being a man meant ignoring the trauma and getting on with life. Today, we recognize post-traumatic stress disorder, and we are learning that unhealed memoires can reoccur at the most unexpected times and at the slightest provocation – a sight, a sound, or even a chance encounter with strangers at a café.
On Remembrance Day, I will stand with others at the cenotaph, not because there is any dan-ger of forgetting, but because it is important to remember. As I stand in silence, remembering the broad strokes of man’s inhumanity to man, I will see a gentle man on a café terrace in Chamonix who bent down to pick up a fork and touched our hearts through the sharing of a painful memory.

Remembering war, lest we block it out
louise mcewan
everyday Theology
B y C r a i g L i n d s a yGrand Forks GazetteBudgeting for food
is often a challenge for anyone making a decent wage, but doing it on $3 a day would seem impossible — yet that’s what those on welfare in B.C. are forced to do.
The welfare chal-lenge was a province-wide initiative where
participators spent one week, from Oct. 16 (Hunger Awareness Week) to Oct. 22, only eating the food they could buy with $21.
The amount of $21 for a week’s worth of food came from the expected food allow-ance remaining from a monthly welfare cheque of $610. Less rent ($450), room
damage deposit ($20), book of 10 bus tickets ($21), cell phone ($21) and personal hygiene/laundry ($10). The remainder is $84 div-ided by four weeks: $21 per week.
Two local women, Tammy Battersby and Leda Leander, took up the challenge and struggled to do their regular jobs on their
meager food allow-ance.
Both women are familiar with the dif-ficulties of individ-uals and families who struggle with having enough money for food and other basic necessities. Battersby is the community care coordinator at the Gospel Chapel and organizes the com-
munity Christmas hamper program, while Leander is the executive director of Boundary Family and Individual Services Society.
“I put the welfare challenge out in the community,” said Leander. “I also said it wouldn’t be a very healthy thing to do for people with children living in their homes because it’s really, really difficult to feed children in a healthy manner based on the amount of money fam-ilies receive on income assistance.”
The group put-ting on the welfare change is called Raise the Rates and they are dedicating to convin-cing the government to raise the income assistance rates in B.C.
“I saw that a celeb-rity (singer Bif Naked) was doing the chal-lenge and I said, I need to do this,” said Battersby. “I was intrigued with this and read up on it. I give people hampers but I don’t really under-stand where they’re at or what they’re experi-encing.”
Battersby said she has not received social assistance but has been broke before.
“It was a reminder: what are the people I’m seeing everyday experi-encing?” she said. “It’s been awhile (since I’ve been broke) and it was a good reminder. I wanted to build my compassion.”
Battersby set aside the money she would have spent on food and donated it to the Christmas hamper program.
“I’ll be donating $150 to the program,” she said.
Leander said her challenge started slow-ly when she splurged for a loaf of sprouted grain bread.
“I only eat sprouted grain bread,” she said. “So I made a choice to buy a loaf. Luckily, it was on sale or I would’ve started. Right away, I spent a day and a half of my money on this one loaf. That was an incredible realiza-tion to me that some-thing as simple as a loaf of bread might be the only type of food you can afford that day. After I spend that day and a half of food on that I thought what was I doing?”
Leander found herself eating a lot of carbohydrates which she normally doesn’t do.
Being celiac, Battersby wasn’t able to eat any carbs like pasta or bread.
“One day I had chick peas, lentils and a celery heart,” she said. “I chopped them up into a nice hummus and dipped celery in it. That was my day’s food.”
Leander said she after three or four days she didn’t feel hungry because she was eating a lot of carbs but didn’t feel well.
“I didn’t have a lot of the energy I typ-ically have,” she said. “I couldn’t afford fresh fruit. I couldn’t afford most vegetables only the less expensive ones like root vegetables. I couldn’t afford leafy greens like spinach that I typically eat.”
Battersby found it
difficult to concentrate at work with her lim-ited food intake.
“I forgot three appointments,” she said. “I was spinning in my head. There were times when I didn’t manage the $3 well. But still I was so behind what my body needed to be bal-anced. I couldn’t think straight. I was mak-ing bad choices. It was really eye-opening.”
The idea of the chal-lenge was to experience what the government thinks is enough to live on, said Battersby.
“It’s clearly not enough,” she said.
“I think of myself as a thrifty, careful spender,” said Leander. “Even being thrifty I did not have adequate nutrition for the week.”
For the pair, the challenge also drove home the need in the community for places like Whispers of Hope and the food bank.
They also agree that welfare rates need to rise.
“Give people enough money and resources that they can live functionally and be able to func-tion,” said Battersby.
“I would not have been able to job search that week.
“Forget it, I could barely do the job I have let alone react and interact with my family. Give people enough to live on and move forward.”
Leander added that she sees even more the need for people to be kind to those around them.
“If we have lots of apples on our trees invite the people down the road to come and pick some for their kids,” she said. “I believe people who live in poverty need the right to access educa-tion and good paying jobs and the nutrition they need to be healthy and vibrant.”

FROM PAGE 1It was in 1990 that the federal
government first began to acknow-ledge and give benefits to those men and women who served in the armed forces for Canada, but never were sent overseas.
“Yet where did they train the pilots? In Canada,” she said.
Despite the government’s over-sight, Batch never regretted her decision to enlist in 1942 in her
hometown of Regina, Sask., and remains proud of what Canadians accomplished in those years, how they stood strong as a country.
It was a good time, said Batch, because there was a cause, and there was Charlie.
They were young and in love.“And he was a good guy. We
weren’t rich but we had everything else. When he died we didn’t owe a penny to anybody,” she said.
Batch remains proud of Canada’s accomplishments
BY TIMES STAFFIt will be standing
room only with up to 2,000 people expected at the Remembrance Day ceremony at the cenotaph in Trail on Pine Avenue Friday.
The day begins with the massing of the honour guard and the rest of the 300-strong parade near the banks of the Columbia River at Eldorado Street.
10:30 a.m.Around 10:30 a.m.
the parade begins — with the Colour Party, RCMP honour guard, the pipe band, veter-ans and cadets in tow — its journey towards the cenotaph, with a brief stop at the “salut-ing base” on Cedar Street where the may-ors of Trail, Warfield and Montrose will be standing.
10:45 a.m.The parade arrives
at the cenotaph at 10:40 a.m., with the ceremony beginning around 10:45 a.m.
with the singing of O Canada, followed by a hymn, a prayer and an address by the minis-ter. World War II vet-eran May Batch will then read the honour role names: 36 from WWI, 139 from WWII, one from the Korean War and two from the Vietnam War.
11 a.m.Last Post will then
be played by Lorne De Paolis followed by two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. (with the siren sounding at the armouries). The Lament, Reveille (by De Paolis), the Act of Remembrance and the laying of the official wreaths leads up to the reciting of In Flanders Fields. In closing, the Benediction and the singing of God Save the Queen preclude the march off.
1 p.m.People will gather
around 1 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 11 on
Columbia Avenue for an afternoon of enter-tainment and stories.
Colour PartyLeading up to
Remembrance Day the Legion hosted Colour Parties at vari-ous places around the city to raise awareness, and to allow those who might not be able to attend the Nov. 11 ceremony a chance to pay homage.
On a battlefield a regiment would use their colours as a rally-ing point, with their colours being slowly marched between sol-diers’ ranks to enable them to identify their regiments’ colours.
Today, the Colour Party provides the ceremonial protocols at all Legion functions, Remembrance and Decoration Day servi-ces, and represents a branch at various other parades.
• FruitvaleThe day begins at
10:30 a.m. with the marching of the hon-our guard from the Royal Canadian Legion to the Cenotaph.
The ceremony fol-lows at 10:45 a.m. with the prelude to the minute of silence delivered by pastor Kent Maddigan, fol-lowed by the recital of the poem In Flanders Fields, singing of God Save the Queen and closing remarks by current Mayor Libby Nelson.
• RosslandIn Rossland there
will be a service held at the Royal Canadian Legion hall at 10 a.m., followed by a cere-mony at the cenotaph at 11 a.m. next to the library. The activ-ity shifts back to the Legion hall at 11:30 a.m. after the cere-mony.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - A New
Democrat MP’s bid to make Remembrance Day a national statu-tory holiday is now one step closer to reality.
Bill C-597, which would amend the Holidays Act to make Remembrance Day a statutory day off like Christmas or Canada Day, passed a second-reading vote in the House of Commons on Wednesday by a margin of 258 to 2.
The legislation, introduced by New
Democrat MP Dan Harris, now moves to the Commons herit-age committee for further study before coming back to the Commons for a final vote.
Ultimately, how-ever, it would be up to the individual provinces where Nov. 11 is currently not a holiday - Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Manitoba, repre-senting slightly more than half the coun-try’s working popula-tion - to change their individual labour codes.
Harris said he’s confident the meas-ure will become law, particularly in light of the recent deaths of two Canadian sol-diers - tragic attacks
that remain fresh in the minds of Canada’s federal parliamentar-ians.
“On the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War and given recent tragic events, I think there’s some momentum in that direction,” Harris said.
Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent was killed Oct. 20 in Quebec when he was hit by a car driven by a man with jihadist sympathies. Two days later, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was gunned down while standing guard at the National War Memorial.
The lingering memory of the attacks is expected to spill over into a collective show of mourning during
Remembrance Day services across the country on Tuesday, and that’s helping his cause in both the Commons and the Senate, Harris said.
Whether Canadians get a paid day off on Nov. 11 depends on where in the coun-try they live and who they work for.
Federal workers get a holiday, as do work-ers in the three ter-ritories and six prov-inces: Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, S a s k a t c h e w a n , Alberta and British Columbia.
Conservative MP Erin O’Toole, a for-mer Canadian Forces helicopter navigator, spoke on behalf of the government during debate on the bill in
the Commons, and said the Tories will support it once it’s amended at commit-tee.
Harris said it’s important to remem-ber Canada’s veterans “for protecting and fighting for the free-doms we value today.”
He predicted that making Remembrance Day a national statutory holiday will result in many more people attending various remembrance servi-ces.
Remembrance Day was first marked in
1919 as the one-year anniversary of the armistice signing that ended the First World War.
The bill needs to be passed before the next election, scheduled for October, in order to be in force for Nov. 11, 2015.

Legion selects New Brunswick woman as this year’s Silver
Cross motherT H E C A N A D I A N P R E S S
OTTAWA - The Royal Canadian Legion says a New Brunswick woman whose son died of wounds suffered in Afghanistan will be this year’s Silver Cross mother at the national Remembrance Day ceremony.
Gisele Michaud of Edmundston, N.B., will place a wreath at the National War Memorial on behalf of all bereaved mothers of soldiers killed on duty.
Her youngest son, Master Cpl. Charles-Philippe Michaud of the Royal 22e Regiment, was mortally wounded after stepping on an
improvised explosive device while on patrol southwest of Kandahar in June 2009.
He was flown back to a hospital in Quebec City, but died on July 4.
The Silver Cross, more formally the Memorial Cross, was instituted on Dec. 1, 1919 as a memento of loss.
For more than 60 years, the Legion has chosen a Silver Cross mother to take part in the national ceremony.

B y J a i m e T a r a s o f f Rossland News
One of the local areas utilized by local and regional residents alike as a recreational site is now one step closer to being reality.
In an effort that began 14 years ago, the Friends of the Rossland Range Society (FORRS) have completed a management plan for the area now known as the Rossland Range Recreation Site.
The section of the Rossland
Range area between the Red Resort recreational area and Big Red Cats tenure has long been used by locals and visitors as hik-ing trails and a backcountry ski area and includes several warm-ing cabins built by volunteers. Structures on crown land are subject to stringent rules so the government wanted to remove these cabins but was persuaded otherwise by the community.
As recreational use in the area has continued to grow over the years, the need for community management of access and the
shelters was recognized by the provincial government.
In a statement made dur-ing a public meeting Oct. 22 board director Kim Deane said, “The provincial government has offered a very large recreational site in return for the community managing both the access but most importantly the shelters in some sort of manner agreed upon with them.”
The land was originally man-aged by the province by the Ministry of Forests and includes a forest license belonging to ATCO
of Fruitvale.In September of last year this
area was officially designated as a provincial recreational site in partnership with the FORRS and planning and public consulta-tions began to create a manage-ment plan for the area as required by the Ministry of Forests.
One of the original require-ments by the provincial govern-ment was that the number of shelters be reduced to only five but according to board director Les Carter, “Shelters are the key to the community buy-in and
the terrain is very important in justifying the number of shelters for safety reasons.”
It is the hope of the society that the government will be leni-ent with this number as there are justifications for the number of shelters remaining, and there is some removal and consolidation occurring.
The final plan being submit-ted to the province for review includes nine shelters when com-plete, each to be brought up to government standards in some way.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - The
play habits of kids may soon be mirroring the moves of their wired parents as gadgets and tech-inspired toys rank among the popu-lar playthings heading into the holidays.
Nearly 100 toys, games and puzzles for kids ranging from toddlers to pre-teens were unveiled by the Canadian Toy Association at its annual Hot Toys for the Holidays event on Tuesday.
Youngsters gath-ered at the Ontario Science Centre to test the latest in toy innov-ation.
CTA public relations chair Laura Wiese says there were quite a few new tech-inspired toys on offer.
This included dif-ferent types of robots, some of which can
be programmed, and others that work with downloadable apps.
Wiese said smart-watches were also an emerging theme among the hot holiday toys.
One of those fea-tured was VTech’s Kidizoom Smartwatch which allows the user to capture photos and videos in addition to playing mini-learning games, with additional content available for download.
Wiese said a watch similar to a Fitbit with the ability to track activity and out-lining goals for the day is another popular option.
There was also innovation in kids’ learning tablets such as educator-approved LeapPad and InnoTab models, she noted.
M e a n w h i l e , Crayola’s Virtual
Design & Drive fuses the worlds of art and tech, allowing users to design their vehicle and snap a photo with the device which they then customize and operate on a virtual stunt track.
The toy includes an app compatible with iOS and Android smartphones as well as tablets.
Wiese said there is a “bit of a hole” in the interactive plush cat-egory of toys typically filled by perennially popular offerings like Tickle Me Elmo.
But this year, Wiese said it’s “Frozen” that ranks as the big licence with the Snow
Glow Elsa doll, as well as games and dresses inspired by the hit ani-mated film.
Wiese said part of the enduring appeal of “Frozen” is the film’s central storyline around the relation-ship between sisters Elsa and Anna which has earned fans among parents and children alike.
“The comic relief of having the little snow-man is, I think, what the kids really gravi-tated towards as well,” she said.
“I think because there’s so many great characters in it and the music has done real-ly, really well, it just
really resonated with children and parents.”
Wiese said there were “fun new takes” on traditional toys with remote-con-trolled boxing robots and a revamped ver-sion of the recall chal-lenger Simon game with the new Simon
Swipe featuring a var-iety of sounds, bold colours and flashing lights.
Wiese said Crayola also offers an updated version of make your own crayons with its Paint Maker, which allows children to cre-ate custom colours.
“I think it’s a great way for kids to actually create their own acces-sories and things they use while they’re mak-ing their art.”

B c h lTrail Smoke Eaters
defenceman Viktor Dombrovskiy has committed to attend Harvard University to play for the Crimson next season.
Dombrovskiy is in his first season with the Smokies after two seasons with the Langley Rivermen. He came to Trail in an offseason trade and in 14 games with the Smoke Eaters, the Coquitlam native has already matched his point total from last year and surpassed his goal total.
The six-foot, 200-pound blueliner has two goals and 13 assists on the season and he’s looking for-ward to taking his game to the NCAA level.
“College hockey is extremely competi-tive and skilled, and I could not be any more thrilled and humbled to be playing for Harvard University next season,” said the 18-year-old. “Harvard is extremely excited to have me and I feel that I fit in perfectly with their program over there - both in athlet-ics and academics.”
Last season, Dombrovskiy was part of the bronze-medal winning Team Canada West squad at the 2013 World Junior A Challenge in Yarmouth, N.S. Now in his third BCHL campaign, he says the league has helped him prepare to move up to the next level.
“The BCHL has been an excellent experience and has matured me both as a hockey player and as an individual,” he said.
Dombrovskiy joins six other Smokies that have commit-ted to NCAA schools. They include: Scott Davidson and Craig Martin (Quinnipiac), Bryan Gerstenfeld (Army), Bryan Basilico (Lake Superior State), Ryan Swanson (Army), and Connor Wynne (Brown).

B y T i m e s s T a f fThe Beaver Valley Nitehawks are
back in action this week with three pivotal games in four days. The Hawks battle the Spokane Braves in Spokane tonight, then return home to face the Columbia Valley Rockies on Saturday, and the Grand Forks Border Bruins on Monday.
B.V. played arguably their best game of the season on Saturday in a 7-2 win against the Castlegar Rebels. Led by Taylor Stafford’s four-point game and some solid goaltending from Drake Poiriot, the Hawks look primed for a good run.
Tonight’s match against the Braves will be an important tilt for second place in the Neil Murdoch division standings. Spokane jumped ahead of the Hawks after sweeping three games last weekend that included a 4-3 victory over the division-leading Nelson Leafs in Spokane on Sunday and have won seven of their last eight.
The Hawks beat the Braves in their last meeting 6-4 at the Nest, but lost in Spokane 2-1 on Sept. 20. Historically, playing the Braves in Spokane is always an adventure and the Hawks will have to stay disci-
plined and build off their perform-ance against the Castlegar Rebels last weekend to be successful.
The Columbia Valley Rockies are mired in last spot in the Eddie Murdoch division but they are not pushovers as it took a third-period goal by the Nelson Leafs to break a 3-3 tie late in the third and eke out a 4-3 win on Saturday.
While the Hawks have two games in hand, they need to pick up points against the cellar-dwelling Rockies and Bruins to keep pace with the Leafs and Braves.
The 6-12-1 Bruins, meanwhile,
ended a seven game winless streak with a 5-4 overtime victory over the 100 Mile House Wranglers on Saturday.
The Border Bruins started the season strong, but have cooled of late, yet they always prove a chal-lenge to the Nitehawks and have the second top-scorer in the league in Max Newton, 15-16-31.The Bruins defeated the Hawks 6-5 in overtime in their last encounter in Grand Forks on Oct. 3.
The Nitehawks host the Rockets at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and the Border Bruins at 7 p.m. on Monday.

B y J i m B a i l e yTimes Sports EditorT.J. Dumonceaux
broke a 1-1 tie on the power play and scored what proved to be the winning goal with 45 seconds to play in the second period, as the Vernon Vipers beat the Trail Smoke Eaters 4-1 in BCHL action Wednesday in Vernon.
Trail’s Craig Martin almost put the Smokies ahead just seconds prior but the Vipers Jarrod Schamerhorn made a big save, and Martin instead was sent off for high-sticking.
Vernon owns one of the most anemic power plays in the league this season, with just over a 10 per cent success rate, while the Smokies have one of the best penalty kills at 81.16 per cent.
But that made no difference, as the Vipers worked the puck down low and Dumonceaux beat Trail goalie Brett Clark, scoring on a pass from Liam Coughlin to make it 2-1 Snakes.
The Smokies looked sluggish through a scoreless first per-iod and Trail assistant coach Barry Zanier was stunned by the Smokies’ lack of inten-sity.
“We’re pretty dis-appointed,” he told the Vernon MorningStar. “It was probably one of our poorest games. It’s hard to believe you can come into this building
and not be pumped up to play, but unfortu-nately, that was the case tonight.”
The Vipers struck first when Luke Voltin took a pass from Liam Coughlin and beat Clark blocker side to go up 1-0 at 5:28 of the second period.
But less than three minutes later, Trail’s Kienan Scott made a great read and inter-cepted a pass at the Trail blueline and broke in all alone. The game’s second star faked fore-hand-backhand then
beat the Vernon goalie between the legs to tie it at one.
Yet, the Vipers would get the insur-ance marker 2:26 into the third period, when Anthony Lantina wired a Trevor Fidler pass by Clark to make it 3-1 Vipers.
Coughlin would ice it with an empty net-ter with just under two minutes remaining to give the Vipers its ninth win of the sea-son as they move into third place in the tough Interior division.
Both former Beaver Valley Nitehawk net-minders, Schamerhorn and Clark, played well. Clark, in his third start of the season, kept the Smokies in the game, stopping 26 of 28 shots through 40 minutes, as the Vipers outshot Trail 39-26 overall. Schamerhorn, mean-while, collected his sixth win of the season.
The loss keeps the Smokies in fifth place at 8-7-0-0 thanks to a 5-4 Salmon Arm loss to Coquitlam.
The West Kelowna
Warriors also handed Penticton Vees just their second setback of the season in a 3-2 win, while Langley beat Merritt 5-1.
The Smoke Eaters host the Mainland division-leading Prince George Spruce Kings tonight at 7:30 p.m., and have a rematch at home with the Vernon Vipers Sunday at 3 p.m. The Smokies then play their fourth game in six days on Tuesday at the Cominco Arena against the Merritt Centennials at 7:30 p.m.

Jones backs NFL franchise in UK
T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SLONDON - Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones
would like to see the NFL put a team in London.Jones, one of the most outspoken owners in
professional sports, is in Britain to watch his team face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.
“On a personal basis, and speaking for the Dallas Cowboys, we very much would like a team in London,” Jones said Thursday. “It has cachet. It has an air about it of international competition.
“London is one of probably two or three cities outside the United States that really does have all of the criteria that I would look at for having an NFL team. I certainly know that one of the reasons we’re here this week playing Sunday is to help encourage interest and increase the interest in the game, increase the interest in the aware-ness of our game.”
The NFL has been playing regular-season games at Wembley, the home of England’s nation-al soccer team, since 2007. This season, there are three games, culminating on Sunday with the Cowboys (6-3) and the Jaguars (1-8).
On Thursday, the NFL announced that there will be another three games next season, starting with the Miami Dolphins playing the New York Jets on Oct. 4 in the first-ever division game in England.
NFL officials have said they envisage having a franchise in London one day, though no time frame has been announced and several logistical issues would need to be resolved.
The Jaguars, owned by American billionaire Shad Khan, are also on the schedule for next season, and played in London last season as well. They have agreed to a four-year deal to come to London, so they’ll be back in 2016.
“His imagination is welcomed. His business acumen is really welcome,” Jones said of Khan. “I know that he’s a progressive thinker. Certainly his interest that he has in playing here and poten-tially being involved more so in the future is one that we’re all aware of.”
For the Cowboys, who have played several exhibition games overseas, this is the first time they’ll be playing for real outside the United States. And against the Jaguars, Dallas will tech-nically be the visiting team.
“The problem we have is that we don’t want to forgo a home game,” Jones said. “As you’re well aware, we don’t play many games relative to other sports, and so that’s not something that we’re interested in doing.
“But our away game, and our ability to play away, has always been a consideration, something that we would do.”
That doesn’t mean that Jones isn’t a fan of Britain, or the monarchy.
“One of the greatest feelings that I have is the picture of Princess Di and her young men there with Cowboy jerseys on,” Jones said. “It’s one of my favourite of all time.”
B y G r e G N e s t e r o f fNelson Star
Nelson city council has declined a request for $5,000 to study creating a permanent campground for the homeless, although the idea hasn’t been ruled out entirely.
The city’s housing committee met late last month to consid-er a suggestion from Pastor Jim Reimer, who feels a “secure out-door space” could solve the perennial problem of homeless encamp-ments appearing on CPR land west of the city.
Reimer secured pledges from three Regional District of Central Kootenay dir-ectors totaling $5,000 and was seeking an equal amount from
the city. Consultants told him such a study would cost $8,000 to $20,000.
Following Reimer’s pitch to council in September, the mat-ter was referred to the Nelson Housing Committee, a group with representation from the city, land-lords and property managers, and the local social planning council.
Reimer is a com-mittee member but left the room during what city councillor Donna Macdonald called a “very thorough and extensive discussion.”
She explained the committee had two concerns. First, they weren’t sure what group was sponsoring the project, and second
it “seemed like moving to a solution before we understand the prob-lem.”
“We need to know who our indigenous homeless population is,” she said. “Do they like living outside? Would they rather live in a building? We need to understand what their needs are before we design solutions.”
The committee’s recommendation to council, which was adopted, was that the city decline the fund-ing request but ask the Nelson Committee on Homelessness whether it or one of its mem-ber agencies can tackle a phased approach to the issue, starting with determining how great the need is.
The latter commit-tee has representation from several groups dedicated to address-ing poverty and home-lessness.
Reimer said Tuesday he was “obviously dis-appointed” and “a little surprised” with coun-cil’s decision but was willing to work with the homelessness com-mittee and had not given up on the idea.
“I don’t think the concept is dead. We’re just going to revisit it and see how we can move forward,” he said.
Reimer insisted there is “tremendous support” in the com-munity, judging by the many phone calls and emails he has received, as well as donations.
“What’s it going to look like, who would operate it, who is it going to affect?
“These are valid questions. We’ll take it back to the committee and have a look.”

t h e G o l d e N s t a rBoth the City
of Golden and the Columbia Shuswap Regional District are celebrating a win after coming to an agree-ment to fund the
Golden Municipal Swimming Pool using Economic Opportunity Funds (EOF).
The agreement was formally ratified by the CSRD last week and will ease the burden
placed on taxpayers of Golden, as the Town previously footed the $275,000 annual bill to operate the pool.
“It’s pretty monu-mental,” she Mayor Christina Benty. “What it does is recognizes the regional nature of the pool and of rec-reational services. It’s a huge cost to muni-
cipal taxpayers that is now going to be done through the EOF.”
EOF is money that can be used for servi-ces that benefit resi-dents of both Golden and Area A.
The decision to jointly fund the pool comes as the Town and the CSRD continue to explore shared services
agreements for servi-ces that have benefits to residents of both Golden and Area A.
Kicking Horse Culture and the Nordic Ski Club have simi-larly received funding through EOF.
Area A Director Garry Habart prefers this method over taxa-tion.
“Funding through taxation is tough for me…in order to get
tax money for that it would have to be through a referen-dum,” Habart said. “(The EOF) is com-munity economic development money…and I think that kind of money should be used for swimming pools and arenas and even Kicking Horse Culture is being funded by that. In my view, that’s what those funds should be used for.”
The agreement is just for 2015, but Mayor Benty hopes that it will set a pre-cedent for the future of both the pool and other opportunities for cost-sharing.
“The very fact that there is a recognition that this facility serves Golden and area, I think it opens the door and allows for that conversation to take place,” she said.

Dear Annie: My 37-year-old daughter, “Raya,” has claimed that my husband, her stepfather, proposi-tioned her for sex sev-eral times when she was a teenager. But she never mentioned it to me until she was in her 20s.
Over the years, Raya has needed our help for housing and finances. When she borrows money, she rarely pays us back. Whenever Raya owes us money, she will bring up these accusations. This upsets me very much. I confronted my husband, and he denies anything happened, and I believe him. After all, Raya has a 16-year-old daughter whom she has left in our care many times over the years, often when my husband is home alone. She has never voiced any concern about it.
Raya gets angry with me, saying she doesn’t understand why I stay with this man and believe his version of
events over hers. I’ve been with my husband for 26 years. He is my best friend. He is also a good man who works hard and is devoted to me. I thought victims avoided their abus-ers or at least showed some emotional issues in their company, but I have never witnessed anything out of order when Raya is here. She is usually happy around us, comes over on her own to swim in our pool, attends family events and shows up when she knows I’m not home. This doesn’t seem like the behavior of a traumatized per-son.
Raya tells her story to anyone who will lis-
ten, and I want her to stop defaming my hus-band. Do I alienate my daughter for the sake of my marriage? How do we end this nightmare? -- Caught in the Middle
Dear Caught: Not every abused child reacts the same way, and it is not uncom-mon for allegations of abuse to surface years after the fact. But we agree that Raya makes it difficult for you not to see ulterior motives. We recommend you and Raya get counsel-ing together (or sepa-rately) and see whether you can reach an agree-ment. Ask your doctor to recommend some-one who specializes in this field or contact RAINN (rainn.org) at 1-800-656-HOPE for a referral.
Dear Annie: I am a 65-year-old grand-mother. I still work because we need the extra income.
Four days a week, I drive a close rela-tive to her job. It’s 53 miles roundtrip, and
she never reimburses me for gasoline, which costs me a lot. This relative doesn’t have a license or a car, and we live in a rural area where there is no bus service.
I am getting depressed over this situation. We cannot talk about it. It’s just expected. What can I do? -- Feeling Used
Dear Used: Some people don’t realize that an added passen-ger can be a burden. But unless you want to keep chauffeuring your relative around, you need to speak up. Be kind, saying, “Heloise, I know we both are going in the same direction, but I’d appreciate it if you started contribut-ing toward the gaso-line. The next fill-up is on you.” Then remind her. If she gets huffy or refuses to pay, simply say that perhaps it is time she finds someone else to drive her. No one can take advantage of you without your permission.
Dear Annie: Your response to “Confused Mom and Dad” was right on. There are a lot of adult children who don’t see small changes in their par-ents’ home as they age. The flip side is parents who don’t realize they need help.
My dad didn’t notice the piles of magazines on every surface. When I realized this accumu-lation was a hazard, I said my children need-ed magazines for art projects. The liberated magazines were then recycled. I found other small “projects” that
took 15 minutes during my weekly visits. Dad didn’t notice, but I’m sure my small changes made his house safer. I wasn’t telling Dad how to do things in his own home, which would have led to argu-ments and resentment. -- Observant Fibber

For Saturday, Nov. 8, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It’s all systems go for you today! Take short trips, talk to siblings, relatives and neighbors, and enjoy the variety and stimulation of your surroundings. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today you are focused on cash flow, earnings and possessions. All of it. Don’t hesitate to make decisions, because you know what you’re doing. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You feel confident and charged up with energy today! You are a bit more emotional than usual as well! That’s because the Moon is in your sign today and tomorrow. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You will prefer working behind the scenes today and keeping a low profile. In truth, the word “work” isn’t
in your vocabulary today because you want to play! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A discussion with a female acquaintance or friend will please you today. It could take place in a group situ-ation, and it probably will help you focus on future goals. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Personal details about your private life might be made public today. However, it looks like this PR is posi-tive, because you shine in the eyes of authority figures. (This feels good.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Do something different today to shake up your daily routine. You want adven-ture and an opportunity to learn something new. Be a tourist in your own town! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Tie up loose details regard-ing inheritances, insurance matters and shared debt.
Now that the Full Moon has peaked, it’s a good time to finish things. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with others today. This sim-ply requires a little courtesy and cooperation. No biggie. Plus, others will appreciate it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today you want to be
efficient and effective in everything you do. Start by decluttering your envi-ronment. When things are physically cleaned up, you feel mentally happier as well. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A playful day! Accept all social invitations. Enjoy schmoozing with others. Fun times with children, sports events and anything having to do with the arts
will please you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) If you can steal some time to cocoon at home today, you will feel cozy and secure. You want the pleasure of being in familiar surroundings and also being able to rest. YOU BORN TODAY You are a visionary with big ideas. Many of you are driven by a desire to achieve special accomplishments.
Good news! This is a year of accumulation, and perhaps one of the most powerful years of your life. You will reap what you have sown, because it’s a time of frui-tion and a good time to buy and sell.

B y C a r o l y n G r a n tKimberley BulletinConstruction on
Kimberley’s unique SunMine project, the largest solar farm in western Canada, is proceeding on pace.
According to the latest project update, last week the Prime
Contractor Conergy Canada and construc-tion manager SkyFire Energy completed the installation of all 4,032 photovoltaic modules.
Modules are now arranged in ninety six 38 foot by 20 foot tables and have been mounted on masts
topped with a special-ized tracking system that will rotate to track the sun. There are 42 photovoltaic modules per table top. Once the installation and commissioning is complete the table tops in the picture (right) will tilt at simi-
lar angles to maximize solar exposure and energy generation.
Trackers provide approximately 30 per cent more energy than fixed panels.
The trackers’ sensors also feature load sensing capabil-ities and will increase the tilt angle to dump snow as needed and adjust the tilt angle to reduce windload. Performance will be digitally monitored by a data acquisition and monitoring system.
Construction con-tinues on pace for operation in early 2015. Mayor Ron McRae says that it looks like everything will be ready to go in January.
In parallel to the tracker installation, trenching and instal-lation of cabling is complete and electri-cians have begun wir-ing the trackers and connecting the string inverters that con-vert the suns energy into electricity that is suitable for deliv-ery via a powerline to the BC Hydro system. String inverters allow for segmented power production in the solar array, providing more power produc-tion than centralized inverters which have been historically more popular.
Upcoming activ-ities include installa-tion of the powerline connecting SunMine to the Teck Kimberley substation and BC Hydro, and modifica-tions to the substation itself.
SunMine on track for January completion

Kootenay Lake Tourism and Whitewater Ski Resort are delighted to announce they are enhancing the Spokane Shuttle service in associa-tion with Queen City Shuttles.
For the 2014/2015 ski season the Spokane Airport Shuttle will now
be running seven days a week all winter!
The partners have been work-ing for three years to improve the frequency of the Spokane shut-tle which runs between Nelson, Rossland and the Spokane Airport during the ski season.
By assisting guests to make it
easier to visit the area it is encour-aging more destination visitors to book ski holidays to the West Kootenays.
For the winter of 2014/2015 the Spokane Shuttle will run from Dec. 6 to April 6 with no minimum number of passengers required. Additionally the price has been
reduced to $125 one way or $99 when you book return travel. A later departure of up to 2:30 p.m. from the Spokane Airport also means that we are able to provide same day service for more guests.
For more information on this service please visit www.kootenay-shuttle.com/spokane.
