� e City of Rossland an-nounced late Sunday night that it will postpone its plans to change water and sewer rates starting Jan. 1, 2016.

� e proposed changes were the result of a consultation

and were meant to address “a long history of underinvest-ment in Rossland’s water and sewer infrastructure.”

According to the press re-lease, city council had identi-� ed problems with the new rate structure even before they sent it out for public con-

sultation. “� e consultants’ recom-

mendation might work in a large metropolis but look-ing at the speci� c impacts on Rossland, council isn’t convinced that these unchar-tered waters were the right ap-proach for the city,” it said in

the release. City council will continue to review the water and sewer rates, but on a more relaxed timeline. Council has decided that basing the new rates on pipe size may not “provide the equitable solu-tion council was looking for,” and instead, consumption

will most likely end up being the major factor in determin-ing the new rates. � e pubic meeting scheduled for � urs-day, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. at the Seniors’ Hall will continue as planned, giving Rosslanders a chance to ask questions and o� er input.

Tourism Rossland and the City of Rossland are pleased to announce that the new event sign at the corner of Columbia Ave. and St. Paul is ready to go. This project was completed in association with the City of Rossland, provincial funding from the Re-sort Municipality Initiative, and the Columbia Ba-sin Trust Community Initiatives Program.

“The new event sign is precisely what Resort Mu-nicipality Initiative funding is intended for. It will help Rossland promote tourism events in the com-munity, as well as encourage people to stay longer and enjoy this beautiful part of British Columbia,” said Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for La-bour.

The goal of the community event sign is to high-light tourism events, and will be available to all lo-cal organizations for bookings through the City of Rossland. For more information and the booking form :http://www.rossland.ca/sites/default/files/city-council_policies_community-events-sign-pol-icy-and-application_2015-10-06.pdf

“We are excited to have completed this project and to have created a legacy which is available to the entire community. As events become an increas-

ingly important aspect of our local tourism econ-omy it is a great way to assist in promoting them,” said Deanne Steven, executive director of Tourism Rossland.

Mayor Kathy Moore commented that “This proj-ect was a great collaboration between the City of Rossland, and Tourism Rossland and is an excel-lent example of how we can leverage funds to create projects that have a positive impact on the commu-nity. It also highlights the importance of the Resort Municipality Initiative funding in improving our tourism infrastructure.”

The Province is investing $10.5 million through the Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) program for tourism infrastructure and amenities in 14 re-sort communities. The RMI program helps resort municipalities to increase the number of visitors and their length of stay, broaden resort activities to expand the length of the tourist season, increase employment, and to diversify the local tax base.

Tourism Rossland is Rossland’s destination mar-keting organisation whose mission is to work in a fair and unbiased manner to grow Rossland’s year round tourism economy within the context of the community’s vision and values.

Submitted by the Kootenay Columbia Trails Society

� e Kootenay Columbia Trails Society has been busy completing signi� cant upgrades to the historic Dewdney recre-ation trail.

Originally constructed in 1865 to access an East Koote-nay mining boom, a remnant 5.4km section of the trail south of Rossland remains popular with local and regional residents, and serves as the � nal leg of the internationally renowned Seven Summits trail.

Both the long passage of time and recent adjacent logging and road building degraded the trail surface to an extent that it had become unnecessarily rough and eroded, so with the gen-erous � nancial support of the Columbia Basin Trust’s Com-munity Development Program

and the Nelson District Credit Union’s Community Investment Program, and the cooperation of the landowner Selkirk Mountain Forest, the KCTS has been add-ing drainage features, repairing the trail surface, and re-routing

short sections of the trail, to both improve the trail experience and reduce the ongoing maintenance requirement.

Phase 1 is now complete, with phases 2 and 3 scheduled for coming years.

Sean Arthur Joyce gave a talk on Canada’s home children at the Rossland Museum on � ursday, Oct. 29.

Joyce, from New Denver, is the author of Laying the Children’s Ghosts to Rest: Canada’s Home Children in the West, and his talk was part of the museum’s fall speaker series.

� ere were more than 100,000 home children rounded up from the streets of Brit-ain to be used in Cana-da as labourers between 1869 and 1948, and it’s estimated that one in eight Canadians is the descendant of a home child. Joyce himself is part of that statistic.

Joyce’s grandfather, Cyril William Joyce, came to Canada when he was 16, without par-ents and with three oth-er boys, who ranged in age from 12 to 15 or 16.

“He was sent to Ed-monton where he was then shipped out to various farms in north-ern Alberta to work,” explained Joyce.

Joyce’s grandfather

didn’t talk about how he came to Canada and disposed of letters and photos that might have revealed something about his past.

Writing the book gave Joyce a chance to learn more about how his grandfather came to Canada and how that shaped him.

“I learned that he absolutely hated the farm, hated the work, was very unhappy, and couldn’t wait to get out basically,” said Joyce. “Until he got the chance to come to Trail and work for Comin-co.... Cyril worked at Trail in one of the sort of control rooms that they had.”

Cyril wasn’t the only home child who ended up working for Comin-co. Joyce also talked about the Roberts brothers, one of whom, Walter, ended up work-ing at the smelter.

Life in Canada wasn’t easy for Walter who was abused by the � rst farmer he worked for, but eventually he start-ed a family in Rossland. He’s now buried in Mountain View Cem-etery with his sister.

Joyce published Lay-ing the Children’s Ghosts to Rest last year, eight years a� er he started doing research.

“I started research-ing in 2007. I mean I work as a reporter so I wasn’t able to do it full-time until about 2011,” he said. “We visited ar-chives in Victoria, Nel-son, Ottawa—lots of places—Vernon. So we visited archives all over the country basically to try and track down in-formation.”

Joyce said he’s sur-prised they don’t teach about home children in schools.

“Why is there this big empty space in our history when so many of us have direct ties to it?”

At the last regular council meeting on Monday, Oct. 26, city council reviewed the results of the Washington St. Design Cha-rette, and voted on how to proceed.

Included in the material presented to council was not only sta� recommendations, but responses from community members.

Bike lane to JubileeA number people strongly agreed with

constructing a bike lane from First Ave. to Jubilee St., but there were also a number of people who disagreed with it. One person called the idea “ridiculous” and many were concerned that the new bike lane would eat into available parking space.

Council ultimately voted to proceed with the bike lane as planned, as recommended by city sta� .

West sidewalk to FourthMost people supported the idea of putting

in a sidewalk on the west side of Washington from downtown to Fourth Ave. People were mostly concerned about losing parking or street width, but many agreed the sidewalk was needed for the safety of students walking

to school.Sta� recommended proceeding as

planned, which city council did.East sidewalk to Centennial

Most people support a sidewalk on the east side of Washington as well. � ose who opposed it thought adding a sidewalk would make the street too narrow to be safe, es-pecially in winter. Others didn’t feel their needed to be a sidewalk all the way up Wash-ington. Many of those who supported the sidewalk suggested adding some kind of bar-rier at the corner near Sixth Ave.

Sta� recommended proceeding with a sidewalk but adding bollards for pedestrian safety, and council voted to accept the rec-ommendations.

Close FourthResidents were split on whether or not to

close fourth. Some felt that closing the inter-section would increase safety, while others felt it was unnecessary, inconvenient and not the right place for a crosswalk to Seven Sum-mits School.

Sta� recommended proceeding as planned, and said that both public works and the school district approve the location of the crosswalk. Council supported the rec-

ommendations. Close Sixth

Most people supported closing Sixth Ave. because of safety concerns. � ose opposed to closing it suggested making it a one-way street going down from Washington.

Sta� recommended closing the intersec-tion for safety reasons, but also noted that it may be less costly to keep the street open as a one-way. Council directed sta� to look into which option would be better, based on cost and safety.

Close TurnerMore people supported closing Turner

Ave. than opposed it. Most supporters said they felt the intersection was dangerous, while those opposed were concerned about accessing their homes.

Sta� recommended looking at options to turn Turner into a one-way so residence can easily access their property, and council sup-ported the recommendation, directing sta� to choose the best option.

Kirkup and McLeod intersectionResidents were also split on the rede-

sign of the Kirkup Ave. and McLeod Ave. intersection. Many of those opposed to the redesign didn’t feel it did anything to miti-

gate speeding on McLeod, and wanted to see McLeod turn onto Kirkup, but sta� recom-mended against that, as it created poor sight lines and awkward angles. Council voted to proceed with the redesign as planned.

BumpoutsMore people supported the bumpouts at

Second Ave. and � ird Ave. than opposed them. � ose opposed felt the streets would be too narrow, those in favour felt they’d calm tra� c.

Sta� recommended proceeding as planned and council agreed, voting to add an extra bumpout up near Kirkup at the cross-walk.

Landscaping� e majority were in favour of the pro-

posed landscaping, which calls for using drought resistant trees, shrubs and � owers. � ose in favour felt Washington could use a touch up, while those opposed were con-cerned about the cost. Many people were also concerned about sight lines, and ap-proved so long as they were maintained.

Sta� recommended proceeding with landscaping while ensuring that it doesn’t obstruct views and requires low mainte-nance costs. Council approved.

Learners at the Seven Summits Centre for Learning recently em-barked on a four-day historical road trip.

Grade 10s travelled as far north as Trout Lake, making 13 histori-cal stops along the way, and at ev-ery stop a student gave a presenta-tion on the historical significance of the location.

On the first day the learn-ers stopped at the Slocan Valley Sinixt First Nation Village site, where Alesha Hall gave a presen-tation on the Sinixt Nation.

“I did my project on the Si-nixt First Nations and why they are considered extinct. They’re not actually extinct it’s just that their name can’t legally be put on a document,” said Hall. “We went to see one old community where all the pit houses would be, and we got to go into a real pit house.”

From there they went to the Nikkei Interment Memorial Cen-tre in New Denver, where Cobi McBride gave his presentation.

“We stopped in New Den-ver and talked about the Canadian Japanese internment during World War II and how the Japanese were put into camps ... to make sure that they weren’t spy-ing on the Canadian Navy to give away locations of ships,” said Mc-Bride. “How the Canadian gov-ernment took advantage of them and took all their stuff while they were put in the camps, and sold everything to help fund the camps

and help fund the army.”On the second day, the students

went to Sandon Ghost Town and Museum where Hayden Butler gave a presentation on the town and the Hydro Electric Generator.

“At Sandon there was a re-ally cool museum, and in the basement there were a bunch of creepy mannequins and all that,” said Delaney Bowman, “and there was an ouija board leaned up against a wall, and we thought it would be interesting if we could try to make it work, but we didn’t have the piece.”

Bowman had the challenge of presenting on a site the learners couldn’t actually visit.

“I was Arrowhead, but we didn’t get to go to Arrowhead be-cause, well, for one it’s under wa-ter, and it’s also on the other side of Arrow Lakes,” she explained. “So we drove on the road past it and I spoke a little bit about the history and how it was pretty big in its time, and now that it’s flood-ed from the Hugh Keenleyside Dam there’s only the cemeteries left.”

Autumn Terwoort presented on the Windsor Hotel at Trout Lake, where the students stayed on their second night.

“The Windsor Hotel was cre-ated in 1897, sold to a girl named Alice Jowett in1907, and she was the longest lasting owner. I think she had the hotel for 30 years,” said Terwoort. “It’s said that the hotel’s haunted now by her ghost. She doesn’t mean any harm unless you take something.”

The Trout Lake general store is also home to the last working gravity-fed gas pumps.

On the third day the learners stopped in Kaslo and toured the S.S. Moyie.

“We went on the S.S. Moyie. It’s the [last standing] sternwheeler in the world,” said Sophie Wardy. “I thought it was really cool to see how it was all rebuilt.”

“They pulled out the walls when they were fixing it up and they found like a whole bunch of old gum wrappers, and like light-ers, and an old pair of glasses, which was cool,” added Hall.

Learners then spent the night at Kaslo J.V. Humphries School.

“That was really fun,” said Ter-woort. “Getting to walk around, have the whole school to our-selves.”

All of the communities the learners stopped in were very welcoming.

“All the way along the trip we were very welcomed.... Like the Japanese internment camp [mu-seum], they stayed open a few days later to welcome us there,” said Jonny Coleshill, the mentor who took the learners on the trip. “We stayed in the community hall in New Denver..., the school in Kaslo, and everybody was very welcoming and excited about our trip.”

On the fourth day students got to go zip lining at Kokanee Creek Zip Line before visiting more historic sites like Nelson and the Dewdney Trail right here in Ross-land.

During the past summer the Friends of the Rossland Range (FORR) were busy tearing down some of the old huts in the Ross-land Range Recreation Site, and building new cabins to replace them.

Mosquito Cabin was one of those replaced, and Don Liszt and his wife Laura Mackay took on the rebuild as FORR volun-teers.

“The old one was just an a-frame with a ridge pole, and poles, and Tyvek and a tin roof,” said Liszt who teaches wood shop and construction at Stanley Humphries Secondary School in Castlegar.

The old cabin was also infested with mice and pack rats.

“Whenever we did the fall clean up to be ready for the next ski season it was disgusting,” said Mackay. “Going in and having to clean and get it ready, and know-ing that your cleaning was kind of fruitless because they would just poop again and it would just be filthy again.”

A key requirement of the new shelters is that they be rodent-proof. Not only will keeping mice and rats out make for less mess, it may also help prevent the spread of disease.

Deer mice can carry hanta-virus, which causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), a rare but potentially fatal disease. Only a couple of people in BC are reported as being ill with hanta-virus each year, but in North America one in three people with HPS has died.

The disease is spread when the deer mice droppings, urine or nesting are disturbed and vi-

rus particles circulate in the air where they can be inhaled.

Rodents had chewed numer-ous holes through the plywood in the old Mosquito Cabin, but the new one is built three feet off the ground with a sub-floor made out of pressure-treated wood, and a layer of mesh between the sub-floor and the plywood floor of the cabin.

“This has to be a really deter-mined little rat or mouse to get in there,” said Mackay.

Mackay and Liszt were con-scious of the old cabin’s history when planning to replace it, not least of all because the old cabin is where they got engaged and celebrated their first wedding an-niversary.

They made every effort to keep what they could from the old cabin.

“We kept the logbooks from the old one, and the picture of the old crew that built the original Mosquito Cabin, we got in touch with the only surviving builder from the original cabin and redid the photo and put their names up,” said Mackay.

Dr. Trudi Toews, who helped build many of the original cabins,

came up to visit during construc-tion of the new Mosquito Cabin.

“It was really an honour and a pleasure to show her [the new cabin],” said Mackay, “because she had a stake in the old ones. It felt very important and kind of special to show her around.”

Twenty-eight volunteers put in over 750 hours to help build the new cabin, and many local companies donated materials.

Interfor donated lumber for the walls, Columbia Glass do-nated all the windows and the door, and Maglios’ Building Cen-tre, Korpack, Gold Island Timber and Kootenay Sawyer all gave generous discounts. The Recre-ation Sites and Trails BC branch of the Ministry of Forests donat-ed the new outhouse.

Liszt’s students even helped out with pre-cuts for some of the walls.

Mackay and Liszt said they’ve also talked to many people who would have liked to help out on the cabin, but didn’t realize the rebuild was happening. Luckily, the FORR volunteers still have another six cabins to build, so there will be plenty of chances to help out next year.

Two locals, David Peacock and Andre Nutini, will be screening their latest film, Passenger, at the Royal Theatre in Trail on Thursday night.

Passenger is Nutini’s fourth film and Peacock’s first full film with Legs of Steel, a close-knit group of professional freeskiers who make movies together. The original members of Legs of Steel who star in the film are Paddy Graham, Bene Mayr, and Thomas Hlawitschka.

The film took two years to make, and is 65 min-utes long.

“It’s a good day if you’re out there from sunrise to sunset and you get two or three shots,” said Nutini. “So with the amount of days that are actually good for filming, with snow conditions and weather and everything, ... you only get a good film day maybe once a week, and you only get two or three shots that are worthy of the film, and that’s why we decided to take two years with this project.”

Nutini and Peacock started filming in December 2013, and were based in Innsbruck, Austria for the duration of the film. They travelled all over the world to shoot the film on diverse mountain terrain: Revel-stoke, BC; Haines, Alaska; Queenstown, New Zealand; Hokkaido, Japan; and all over the Alps.

The crew was also supposed to stop in Whistler, but there was no snow and the trip had to be cancelled.

“We’ve just been chasing winter really,” said Nutini.The film is narrated by old man winter, and Nutini

and Peacock, along with the skiers in the movie, are passengers of winter as he carries them from place to place.

Nutini and Peacock didn’t ski in the movie, they were there to film and direct, but they still had to be able to cover a lot of the same terrain as the skiers.

“We need to be able to get into all the places that you see the skiers skiing, so 90 per cent of what you see, we need to have the skill-level to access that ter-rain, and do it safely,” said Nutini, “because if there’s one person on the crew that can’t do something safely then they’re a hazard to everybody else, so that’s why we’ve always been such a small group.”

Given some of the dangerous terrain the crew was covering, trust was very important.

“Amongst the group we have a lot of trust in each other and we rely on each other’s skills to make sure we come home at the end of the day and make deci-sions together that we all trust,” said Nutini.

Passenger will premiere at the Royal Theatre on Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and it is a licensed event, but still an all ages event.

Maggie is a beautiful 10 year old brown tabby mix that was surrendered to the Trail Regional BCSPCA because she didn’t get along with the other animals in the home. Maggie is very sweet, affectionate, and a little shy so she would do best in a home with no other animals or small children. Maggie would make a great companion in a quiet environment and relaxed atmosphere. If you would like to meet Maggie come to the Trail Regional

Maggie

Missy is a beautiful three year old lab cross that came into the shelter after being found up at the Pond O’ Reille. Missy has typical lab characteristics and needs someone to burn her energy off. She is quite quiet for a lab but can be boisterous in new situations. Missy would do best in a home with out other animals, or an experienced owner who knows how to introduce new dogs slowly. Missy likes to chase small animals so a fenced yard will be best for her. She walks well on a leash, is crate trained and knows her basic commands. Missy loves people, but has not been around any young children so an adult only home would be best for her. Missy craves affection and like any lab, wants to be around people as much as she can. If you’re the type of person who is willing to invest some time

into a sweet dog and reap the bene� ts in the end please come meet Missy today!

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.

Teck Metals Ltd. will sponsor the Rossland Moun-tain Film Festival for its 2015 festival Nov. 18-22.

The Teck Rossland Mountain Film Festival is set to celebrate its seventeenth year of existence of this annual festival. The Rossland Mountain Film Festi-val (RMFF) Society has been very fortunate to have Teck’s support over the years as the platinum and title sponsor of the festival.

This year’s festival is shaping up to be a very excit-ing weekend packed with big films and entertain-ment including showcasing Jumbo Wild during the Teck Mountain Gala on Friday night of the festival. This gala event will be a red carpet affair with a jazz-swing band and guests will be dressed to the nines in their vintage Hollywood outfits.

The festival opens up on Wednesday night at the Flying Steamshovel with the Legs of Steel film Pas-senger .Thursday will be an all ages event at the Min-ers’ Hall from 6 to 8 p.m. with entry by donation to the Rossland Skate Park Association. Friday will be the big Teck Mountain Gala Vintage Hollywood event in the Prestige Hotel Ball Room showcasing the acclaimed Jumbo Wild film. Saturday’s events

include a matinee and talk at the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre followed by the Mountain Film and party at the Miners’ Hall with action-packed films and entertainment by Bend Sinister — a rock ‘n’ roll band out of Vancouver.

A longstanding Kootenay tradition, the Teck Rossland Mountain Film Festival is committed to presenting the latest, greatest, big-budget flicks alongside homegrown, roots-based, independent films.

About the Rossland Mountain Film Festival The Rossland Mountain Film Festival began in

1999 by a group of locals looking to create a sig-nature event to generate enthusiasm for adventure sports and to celebrate and promote mountain cul-ture and the upcoming ski and snowboard season.

The Festival showcases the work of Kootenay filmmakers, photographers, and visual artists and offers professional and skill development work-shops. This event attracts approximately 900 visitors and locals to five days of programmed events that focus on film, visual arts, music, and multi-media productions.
