CommunityWildlife protection grant too costly
Trail briefs
Millions of dollars of provincial grant money have been turned down by the regional district for wildfi re protection this year as the costs to taxpayers would be too high, says the board of director’s chair.
Larry Gray said there is money for wildfi re prevention to reduce the amount of standing fuel in the forest surrounding most West Kootenay and Boundary com-munities, but the cost to attain it would be nearly $1.5 million to Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) taxpayers.
It’s too steep of a price to be borne by a thin and already taxed tax base, Gray said. In June, 2011, the cost sharing for-mula, previously funded entirely by the province’s Strategic Wildfi re Prevention
Initiative, but admin-istered by UBCM, was changed to require municipalities to con-tribute 25 per cent of the cost fuel manage-ment planning (over $100,000).
“Should we be tax-ing our residents, even for the 25 per cent amount, to pay for mitigation on Crown land which belongs to the prov-ince?” he said during a recent Fruitvale vil-lage council meeting. “In the past we turned down money we had actually been granted last year. Th e rationale for not going aft er the money was simple.”
Th e amount of for-est fuel mitigation necessary overall for the RDKB would be $6.1 million, with the regional district being required to cough up their quarter share of around $1.5 million. Th ey fund it up to 90 per cent for the fi rst $100,000, and then it is 75 per cent funded.
Th ose costs would be borne across the regional district, said Gray, and would re-quire a signifi cant in-crease in taxation. Th e RDKB would have to increase taxation through the existing protective services to cover their costs.

Community
-town Opportunities and Action Committee in 2011, and coming up with a workable Trail Downtown Plan re-leased last spring.
It was the fi rst time in the history of the UBCM awards that a municipality has been honoured two years in a row with the award.
“Local government always hears what they do wrong, so it’s nice to hear sometimes what they did right,” she ob-served.
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 plea-sure to go up and re-ceive 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.
New personal disaster assistance team set up for regional district
You could say it was a disaster waiting to happen.
Th e search is on for people in Greater Trail to staff the West Koo-tenay’s fi rst personal
disaster team.Th e Regional Dis-
trict Kootenay Bound-ary (RDKB) and the Canadian Red Cross are looking to secure a half dozen volunteers to join the newly-formed Personal Disaster As-sistance Team support-ing electoral areas A and B, the villages of Fruitvale, Montrose, Warfi eld and the City of Trail.
It also marks the fi rst time the provin-cial Red Cross has partnered with a B.C. community to provide service for those fi rst 72 hours of disaster re-sponse. Th e Red Cross was approached by the RDKB—the current disaster response man-agers—earlier this year
to partner on a new program.
As a result, the call has gone out for vol-unteers with a variety of backgrounds and skill sets to create the diverse team. Experi-ence or an interest in emergency and disas-ter management, com-munity development, counselling or social work is considered an asset.
For more informa-tion or to submit an application, please con-tact Jodie Densmore at [email protected]”[email protected], or by phone at 250-491-8443, extension 206. Appli-cants are encouraged to apply before Oct.30.

What’s New with What’s OldPostcards from Arrowhead sell for big cash on eBay
Part of an ongoing look at items of local interest selling on eBay.
Several nice post-cards from Arrowhead have sold recently for signifi cant sums.
Arrowhead was the northern sternwheeler terminus on the Ar-row Lakes from 1895 until the SS Minto was taken out of service in 1954. It survived as a community for a few more years but was fi -nally drowned by con-struction of the Hugh Keenleyside dam.
It was one of West Kootenay’s most evoc-ative towns in that it was about the only one where the main street faced the lake.
Th e old townsite,
now privately owned, is visible from aboard the Galena Bay ferry. Very little is left , but it has a cool old cem-etery.
A view of the town in winter, published by H.E. Wallis of Ar-
rowhead and mailed in 1919, sold last week for $103.50 Cdn. (An-other copy of this card sold last November for $112.50 US.) Who-ever coloured the card airbrushed a set of mountains out to look like water and sky.
Th e same seller sold another card showing the town from a diff er-ent angle for $46 Cdn. It had the same sender and recipient as the one above: Gilbert M. to Miss Jones of the Vernon hospital. Th e message reads: “Hope night duty agrees with you.” It was published by Warwick Bros. and Rutter of Toronto.
A third sepia-toned card titled “View from the mill,” published by
Rumsey & Co. of To-ronto and mailed from Vancouver to Fernie in 1912 sold for $37 Cdn.
And fi nally, a card showing a horse-drawn sleigh of enor-mous logs piled ri-diculously high with several men standing on top was snapped up for the buy-it-now price of $8 US.
• A rare postcard of the Harrop ferry sold for $64 US.
It probably dated from the 1930s and showed either the fi rst or second vessel to ply the route. Th e fi rst, a four-car wooden cable scow, entered service in 1925. It was replaced by another wooden scow in 1937,
which was in turn re-placed with a steel barge a decade later. A two-lane, 10-car ferry was launched in 1962.
Th e present Harrop
ferry was used at Nel-son until the orange bridge was completed in 1957. It was later in service at Robson, then sat idle at Nakusp until
1992, which it was cut apart and assembled for use at Harrop.

Sculpture TalkPaul Reimer
‘Open Book’ (forged and fabricated iron)
Based on Paul Reimer’s entry in this year’s Sculpturewalk, its probably safe to deduce he was an early and avid reader. His ‘Open Book’ suggests a love of literature; it defi nitely attests to his imagination and talent at the forge. It’s a skill he learned at a young age, even if reading might have been a pleasure that has been nurtured later in life.When he was just fi ft een, Re-imer was absorbing techniques and practices under the tu-telage of master blacksmith John Smith at Kootenay Forge on the east shore of Kootenay Lake. Four years later, he was in charge of the forge at historic Fort Steele outside of his home town of Cranbrook. Th ere, he built the operation up from a one man show to seven em-ployees and apprentices before opening his own business – Re-imer and Company - where he creates architectural iron works and public sculpture pieces that are truly labours of love.“As a blacksmith and an artist, I strive for originality. I try to do what has not been done before, to make what has not yet been seen, in ways that have not yet been discovered.” ‘Open Book’ is certainly eye-catching and unique. A func-tional bench in the form of an inscribed book, it reads: A book is like a garden carried in the pocket. Th e lettering runs contrastingly across the pleas-ingly curved back, graphically emphasizing the life-like ‘pages’ below it. Reimer has created a simple, graceful and visually beautiful work that, as he puts
it, “is best used on a warm sum-mer day under the shade of a tree with a good book…” Th e sculpture invites the viewer to sit, ponder and be pleasured by the form and practicality.Reimer craft ed a stylistically similar piece that serves as the Cranbrook Public Library entrance sign. In that instance the ‘book’ is upright and closed. Here the spine is on the ground and the ‘pages’ are open, some forming the back of the bench and the majority its seat.His company makes beautifully designed and meticulously ex-ecuted iron works that enhance the interiors and exteriors of homes, hotels, and conference centres across North America. One-of-a-kind railings, bath-room fi xtures, chandeliers, wine racks and gorgeous kitchen vents are handcraft ed as each customer wants, always with precision and fl air of design foremost in mind.“While the majority of our out-
put is architectural iron work, fi replaces, signs and the like, I do enjoy working on public pieces. For me it is an opportu-nity to share the pleasure I get in creating with the public at large, rather than the somewhat limited audience our functional work enjoys.”He is particularly proud of ‘Con-ciliation’ a multi-partner project that elegantly highlights the Cranbrook International Air-port departures entrance. Like ‘Open Book’, it showcases his abundant talent while telling a story.
“As a blacksmith and

Th e Koreans may have invented Taekwondo, but Silver City competi-tors drew a crowd in the Cominco Arena Gymna-sium Saturday.
Over 200 spectators fi lled the gymnasium to watch the annual Trail Taekwon-do Champi-onships 2012, traveling from all corners of the province. Some even traveled to the regional championship all the way
from Camrose, Alberta.Taekwondo has
earned a distinct reputa-tion in the martial arts world because of special emphasis placed on sev-eral kicking techniques. As far as martial arts go, it’s widely understood by practitioners that the leg is the strongest weapon one can use and it’s oft en utilized to execute pow-erful strikes on compo-nents.
But it’s not all about winning, 10-year-old Mackenzie Govett from
Th ompson Valley Tae-kwando in Kamloops added.
“Th is is my fi rst com-petition and I’m a little bit nervous but I’m also really excited,” said Gov-ett. “I’ve been training for seven months and I like the competitions . . . we have our self defense and learn it all while meeting new people.”
Th e children’s compe-tition attracted fi ghters of all types
It’s Taekwon-do not Taekwon-don’t at Trail’s Cominco Arena on Oct. 13.

CommunityFund set up in Richard Fehr’s memory
The Grand Forks Atom B team 2 Bruins held abottle drive fundraiser at the Kal Tire parkinglot on Oct. 13. Here Alex Campbell (left) andCraig MacLellan collect bottles.
Th e Richard Fehr Memorial Fundrais-er has been set up to raise money to send children with special needs to summer camps each year in memory of Richard Fehr.
Fehr died when a tree fell onto a cabin he was in at Pines Bible Camp aft er a windstorm in Grand Forks in July.
Amy Fehr, Rich-ard’s mother, hopes
this will help chil-dren with special needs go to summer camp across B.C.
“Th e main reason this is being done is because (Pines Bible Camp) was the hap-piest place for Rich-ard. Everybody was equal there and in my heart, the way I’m going to keep on re-membering Richard, is through the smiles of the kids with spe-cial needs,” she said. “It’s not just going to be concentrated in Grand Forks, it will
be throughout the province.”
An auction has been created on Fa-cebook where people can donate a service or item and people can bid on the item or service.
Amy Fehr noted that if the auction continues to do well, they would be able to fund several children this summer.
“I do have people from all over British Columbia who are asking me for infor-mation because they
also want to do fund-raisers,” she added. “We’re working to put together a pack-age that people can send out and then people can contact me if they’re inter-ested in doing this fundraising.” Fehr can be reached at 250-443-1118 or [email protected].
Along with the auction, residents can donate at the Re-turn It bottle depot in Grand Forks. J. A. Hutton Elementary School will also be
doing a raffl e, with the money going to-ward Richard’s fund. Th e raffl e is open to everyone and tickets can be purchased at the school offi ce. Th e raffl e will be drawn on Friday, Oct. 26.
To donate a ser-vice or bid on an item, search for the Richard Fehr Memo-rial Fundraiser on Facebook.
Donations may also be made to any CIBC branch to the account 122 6932.

...and every level between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. and the com-petition concluded with adults sparring from noon until 5 p.m.
Even though there was a strong sense of camaraderie in the gymnasium, hard work from competi-tors did not go unno-ticed by the judges.
“Trail is a new tournament that’s coming up, it’s doing very well,” said judge Dan Zaleski. “Jason Ayles (Trail Martial Arts owner/instruc-tor) is organized and the (Greater Trail community) always gets behind any event
that’s held here.”A group of judges
drove home the point that regional com-petitions are about making friends and having a good time playing the sport. Even aft er 40 years of judging Taekwon-do competitions Zaleski agreed and said re-gional competitions a great place for emerg-ing martial artists to start out.
“But I will add that the sportsmanship among Trail players is unbelievable,” he said. “It’s an art and a sport, and I think Canadians play fairly but they also play hard.
“I see these com-petitors from Trail and they’re nice, but they train hard.”

Garbage is the main attraction for bears in the Kootenays
Garbage is the greatest season-long
bear attraction in all of B.C.
How do you con-vince people to man-age their garbage –
and to consider using bear-resistant garbage cans? You get them to sing.
You may have
seen Bear Aware at various public events this summer with a large stuff ed bear in a red apron. “Bearista
Bear” was advertising the “sing a silly bear song” contest.
Kootenay Coop Radio co-sponsored
the contest that en-couraged people to compose their own song or adapt an old standard to come up with a song about bears and garbage. Prizes included a large bear-resistant gar-bage can (donated by the Nelson and Dis-trict Credit Union), a smaller bear-resistant garbage can (donated by Rollins Machinery) and Oso Negro Coff ee and kids’ t-shirts (do-nated by Oso Negro Coff ee).
Th e judges were: the Chief of Nelson City Police Wayne Holland, Conserva-tion Offi cer Jason Hawkes, RDCK Area E Director Ramona Faust and Nelson City Councillor Candace Batycki.
Who won the priz-es? All the entries were great. Th e judges chose the Wildfl ow-er School and their “Bear Aware Song” as the overall winner. Anneke Rosch came second with “Who Cares About Bears” and Heartsong came third with “Dirty Old Bear.”
Th e contest was great fun, but it had a serious objective: make people aware of managing garbage so bears are not drawn to garbage in our community.
People can keepgarbage indoors orin a secure structureuntil the morningof collection (or un-til they take garbageto the landfi ll); theycan freeze the “smellyfood bits” and putthem in the garbagejust before collection;or they can use a bear-resistant garbage can.
Bear-resistant gar-bage cans are a solu-tion for those whodo not have adequatesecure or indoor gar-bage storage. How-ever, the cans are notavailable for purchasein Nelson and areaand are, in compari-son to standard gar-bage cans, expensive.People have had toorder from the coast,or Alberta and havehad to pay large ship-ping costs.
A Nelson resident,Tea Preville, is try-ing to help Kootenayresidents solve thisproblem by puttingtogether an order ofat least 50 cans toRollins Machinery toreduce costs to indi-viduals who want topurchase a can. Th ereis no profi t involved,just an opportunityto get a bear-resistantcan at a more reason-able cost. You cancontact Tea for moreinformation ([email protected], 250-352-0333).

CommunitySnowfl ake Gala to help digital
mammography campaign
Th e Digital Mam-mography cam-paign at the KBRH Health Foundation is a $950,000 eff ort. Aft er 18 months of campaigning we are 66 per cent to target with $625,000 raised. We have received widespread support for this campaign and donations have been received from indi-viduals, service clubs and corporations across the Kootenay Boundary.
Digital Mammog-raphy is the gold stan-dard in breast imag-ing. Currently, KBRH operates a fi lm mam-mography machine which is 11 years old and has no Stereotac-tic capabilities. Digi-tal Mammography with Stereotactic ca-pability off ers a sub-
stantial improvement in diagnostic abil-ity for patients in the Kootenay Boundary region who require a diagnostic mam-mogram or biopsy to determine if an ab-normality detected is benign or malig-nant. Securing digital mammography for our communities is very important as it will allow patients to undergo further di-agnostic testing for breast cancer using a less invasive pro-cedure and remain closer to home.
Digital Mammog-raphy advantages - Th e computer technology results in more con-sistent image quality and images that can be easily sent to other specialists or between hospitals when a sec-ond opinion is need-ed. Th ere is a better tumor detection rate
in women with dense breasts with Digital Mammography. A digital mammogram takes less time than a fi lm mammogram exam to perform, which reduces radia-tion dose for the pa-tient and will reduce waiting lists for diag-nostic mammograms at KBRH.
Stereotactic ca-pability off ers ad-vantages – the bi-opsy is performed in the mammography room, not the Oper-ating Room which means no general anaesthetic is needed during the procedure. No stitches, less scar-ring, better cosmetic outcomes, and an eas-ier recovery aft er the procedure are other advantages for the pa-tient.

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20)A cycle of signifi cant change has begun for everyone, not least of all you. This may already be apparent and as if all of a sudden. If not, it will likely be so very soon. Giving to this process is ideal and a good way now is to do some research to gain more insight. A recent activation of relationship themes may be activating your determination.
TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21)Changes in your overall lifestyle continue as a central theme. Adventurous is an apt term. You may simply be covering a lot of bases amid a faster pace. Travel is a distinct possibility, as is an accelerated learning curve. Your ambitions are peaking and your sights are set on a brighter future. Yet, be extra sure to strike fair and integral deals with full diplomatic measures.
GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUN 21)Despite some very real challenges and the stresses that accompany them opportunities have been knocking. Your ability to recog-nize these openings and to answer them is important now. Sometimes what are mostly required are shifts of perception and attitude. This is an expansive time for you and the stress factor that accompanies it is part of the price.
CANCER (JUN 21 – JUL 22)Shifts and changes close to home are linked to the need to establish more balance and harmony. This has probably been keeping your quite busy with a populated ‘to do’ list. You would like to feel more confi dent about it all but it may not be so easy. Broadening your scope and accessing some inspiration will help. Meanwhile, follow through patiently and do the work.
LEO (JUL 22 – AUG 23)Attending to a varied spectrum of responsibilities continues. These are progressively centering on home and family. At worst some deep old fears are being stirred. Running away will not help but controlling an overactive imagination will. Actually, it is the task of laying claim to latent talents, gifts or treasures that is giving rise to this anxiety. See the light through the clouds.
VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 22)Strengthening your foundation is a current theme. This implies refi ning and improving towards increasing your confi dence. Renova-tions close to home are likely, yet these could also manifest simply as cleaning and beautifying. Call it an inside job for the sake of outer expansion. Advancing in your public and professional life is featured.
LIBRA (SEP 22 – OCT 22)Asserting some pioneering initiatives is a current theme. Fortunately, your energy levels are running high these days. Backed by a spirit of adventure and enthusiasm this cycle stands to produce some real success, or at least a good measure of ex-citement. At deeper levels you are wise to focus on clearing debts, making key investments and paying your dues somehow.
SCORPIO (OCT 22 – NOV 21)Some signifi cant new developments of late are gaining your attention and mobilizing your ambitions. A clear sense of direc-tion and diligence is required. Though your focus is sharp, your direction may not be so clear. So, this is your main task; a strategic plan will likely help. A learning curve is implied. Avoid excess and establish a steady stride.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 21 – DEC 21)Some new developments in your career and/or public life have begun. These are leading you to push to achieve new ground. An increase in social activity is featured. Gathering new tools, skills and/or techniques is important. At deeper levels, the time has come to refi ne certain habitual activities, attitudes and priorities. Call it a graduation process.
CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 19)The recent New Moon has seeded some new momentums in your status quo. It is time to gain the recognition and rewards you feel you have earned. Returns are scheduled to come in now so you may not have to push so hard. Hopefully your ef-forts have been integral and diligent. Yet sometimes the needs of the many more clearly outweigh those of the few, like now.
AQUARIUS (JAN 19 – FEB 19)You are beginning to see the clear, bright light of a new day. It may yet be very early, but it is certain. Recognizing that the rewards implied emphasize what you will give more than what you may receive is signifi cant. To genuinely feel that it is a privilege to serve and to diligently earn the position, title, credential and confi dence to do so is a corner stone to true success.
PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20)Play time is drawing to a close for this round. Hopefully, you have taken the opportunities to engage. Now it is time to get back to work. A deepening of your attitude and changes in some of your priorities and behaviour patterns is part of this plot. The work therefore includes breaking any negative habits and replacing them with better ones.

Michael O’Connor
Horoscope for the Week October 19, 2012f thTip of the Week: The recent New Moon in Libra which occurred on October 15th is signifi cant for a variety of reasons. Most importantly, it is the fi rst one with both Saturn and the Lunar North Node in Scorpio and Mercury is there as well. Every ‘Lunation Cycle’ anchors key seed themes. These may be seen as the small cycles against the backdrop of much larger ones. Yet, every brick in the wall serves its own special purpose. Further, some such bricks are that much more important than others and constitute key or corner stones crucial to other developments. This is one of those. The fact that before the next New Moon the U.S. Presidential Election will be decided is a good example, due to the degree of infl uence the U.S. has on the rest of the world. The exact degree of the New Moon is 22 Libra 32 and this hosts within it a link to the Sign of Cancer. At best, this signifi es a genuine state of empathy and concern for others. There are also indications that this is the germination phase of new attributes, attitudes and qualities linked to humanity genuinely feeling more like a unifi ed family, perhaps than ever before.

New tools and in-formation are now available for business-es on the steps they need to take when the Provincial Sales Tax replaces the Harmo-nized Sales Tax next spring.
A recent prov-incewide mailing to more than 160,000 businesses and new tax bulletins posted online are among the ways government is helping keep busi-nesses informed in advance of the April
1, 2013, transition date.
Services available include:
•One-on-one con-sultations with a ministry tax special-ist - submit a request online.
•Calling a toll-free number with questions about the new PST (1 877 388-4440).
•Emailing ques-tions to [email protected].
A new provincial sales tax notice, Gen-eral Transitional Rules for the Re-Implemen-tation of the Provin-
cial Sales Tax, has now been issued. Th e transition rules de-scribe how and when PST applies to trans-actions that straddle April 1, 2013. Over the coming weeks and months, businesses will be able to par-ticipate in online we-binars and in-person seminars. Govern-ment has reached out to chambers of com-merce and business associations to off er presentations with in-formation businesses will need to prepare for the transition.
Registration for
PST will start on Jan. 2, 2013. Th e govern-ment has issued a bulletin, Registering to Collect PST, to help businesses under-stand whether they need to register.
Links to these bul-letins and notices, the online sign-up form for the one-on-one tax consultations and the federal tran-sitional rules, along with additional in-formation about the return to the PST, can be found in the busi-ness section of: www.PSTinBC.ca
