rossland news, november 19, 2015

Hundreds of Rosslanders stood in the snow and cold on Wednesday morning to pay their respects to those who sacrificed so much to secure Canada’s freedom.

Fol lowing t he Remembrance Day pa-rade from the Legion to the Rossland Library, Rosslanders gathered at the

cenotaph for ceremonies that included the singing of O Canada, a moment of silence and the Act of Remembrance.

Ceremonies also included a roll call. Greg Granstrom read aloud the names of Rosslanders who served in the First and Second World War, as well as the names of three Rosslanders who served in the Second Boer War, while Scouts laid pop-pies in front of crosses bear-

ing their names.Ceremonies at the ceno-

taph were preceded by a Remembrance Day ser-vice at the Legion, given by Reverend Ken Siemens.

Siemens reflected on why Rosslanders might have orig-inally chosen to hold a reli-gious service at the Legion on Remembrance Day, and con-nected the reason with Father Pat, whose monument stands along the parade route.

“He served the commu-nity at a time when a lot of people were quite irreligious, skeptical, not a great deal of faith, and yet they appreci-ated his ministry and they recognized that there was something in what he was doing,” said Siemens. “I was suggesting that it was proba-bly something of that attitude that moved people to want to have the Legion church service, whether they shared

the faith being expressed by whoever was leading it, but in some way I think that they almost hoped that it was true. Back then or now, we cer-tainly do not have unanimity of faith in the room, but we have people who want to be here.”

Both the service and the ceremonies at the cenotaph concluded with the singing of “God Save the Queen.”

Rossland Reads down to final twoCHELSEA NOVAK

Rossland News

It won’t be long until the new champion of Rossland Reads is declared, after yet another book was eliminated on Thursday, Nov. 12.

This One Summer by Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki was the second book to be voted out of the competition.

It was once again a very close vote, with panelist votes ul-timately determining the final outcome. Moderator Jennifer Ellis revealed that one book — the same book that was safe last week — was definitely in the lead, but wouldn’t reveal which one.

Penny Johnson, who was defending Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden, voted against This One Summer, as did Jane Therriault, who was defending The Cellist of Sarajevo, and Lise Levesque, whose book The Birth House by Ami McKay was voted out in the previous debate.

Maddie Snelgrove, who was defending This One Summer, voted against Three Day Road, just because she thought it would be funny to hear Johnson talk about everyone else’s books with-out having to defend her own.

During the debate, Levesque used her more neutral position to share her honest opinion of the other books, praising what she felt were their strengths.

When Ellis asked defenders to use their two-minute intro to explain why their book was not just the best, but why specifically it was better than the others, Levesque used her time to cham-pion Three Day Road.

“I think that Three Day Road, it’s more than the story. It’s the writing,” she said. “Three Day Road is full of fantastic symbols, repetition, things that are pulled through the book.”

The Rossland Reads champion — either Three Day Road or The Cellist of Sarajevo — will emerge at the final debate on Thursday, Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. at New Edition Café and Books. Podcasts of the first two debates are available on the Rossland Library’s website.

Rekindle is coming to townCHELSEA NOVAK

Rossland News

The 21st annual Rekindle the Spirit of Christmas event will take place on Saturday, Dec. 5.

Rekindle is a festival in downtown Rossland to kick off the Christmas shopping season for Rossland retailers.

“The retailers will have different ac-tivities and specials going on in their shops, [and there will be] a number of booths set up with teams or organiza-tions that are using Rekindle for fun-draising,” said Kristi Calder, marketing manager for Tourism Rossland. “So there’s some that will be selling wreaths and garlands, and others will be doing a bake sale.”

There will also be special food ven-dors downtown so shoppers can keep their strength up.

In addition to kicking off Christmas shopping, the event also gives retailers a deadline to get their Christmas win-dows ready.

“Retailers like it because they get their Christmas windows ready for Rekindle, and it makes downtown very busy and it kicks off the winter season, and all the downtown decorating is done,” said Calder.

Rekindle will also mark the opening of two new art galleries in Rossland.

Stephanie Gauvin Art Studio will hold a grant opening, with hot mulled cider and free posters from 1 to 4 p.m.

The Jenny Bailie and Louise Drescher studio and gallery space will also celebrate its official opening during Rekindle, and Drescher will be hosting a story reading in the space at 3 p.m.

There will also be a story reading at New Edition Café and Books, and car-olers walking around downtown.

Kids will be excited to have a chance to talk to the big man in red.

The Santa Clause parade, known as the Reindeer Prance, will makes its way down Columbia Ave. from Esling Park to the Rossland Public Library, where kids can have their photos taken with Santa.

The event will culminate in a tree lighting and draw for a large gift basket, contributed to by all of the local retail-ers.

The event starts at 10 a.m.

City council held a meeting on Thursday, Nov. 12 to answer questions about water and sewer rates that were raised through the Thoughtexchange process that the city used to engage the public in this issue. While council has decided to postpone changing the rates, they felt it was impor-tant to provide answers to citi-zens’ questions in the mean time.

Mayor Kathy Moore picked out a sample of some of the most common questions to answer at the meeting, although she also took questions from the floor.

Here is just a sample of some of the questions Rosslanders asked during the Thoughtexchange process, and summaries of the answers provided by Moore.

“Why are people charged for capacity available and not just the amount they use?”

The plan to raise the water and sewer rates was put in motion after the city received a report from a consultant hired to assess the city’s water and sewer servic-es. According to the consultant, it’s considered best practice to charge based on capacity, but the city wants to make sure it finds an equitable solution and reports back from staff indicated that charging based on capacity may not be fair for all of Rossland’s downtown businesses. That being said, meters on larger pipes are more expensive to replace ($1300 for a 2” meter versus $300 for a .75” meter) and the meters need to be replaced every 15 years, so the cost of replacement needs to be built into the rate structure somehow.

“Forty-three per cent water loss seems high. Do you have any plans to investigate and remedy these losses? You should be able to reduce costs significantly if you do so.”

Some of the city’s lost water is unmetered water that the city doesn’t get paid for. For instance water used to flush the hydrants and water lines, clean the reser-

voirs, and water used in street sweeping, road construction and repair, fire fighting, and land-scaping around town are includ-ed in the 43 per cent. Whereas there is some water used by the city that is metered and is ac-counted for internally. Some of the 43 per cent is also from leak-age and the city has plans to con-duct a night flow water analysis — where they’ll look for unex-plained water use in the middle of the night — to locate some of the leaks and have them repaired.

“Eleven per cent and 15 per cent per year increases are certainly attention-grabbing. Work hard on those other grant applications and final cost reductions because I doubt Rosslanders saw these large an-nual increases coming ‘down the pipe’.”

Mayor Moore said that while the consultant recommended 11 and 15 per cent increases, coun-cil feels those increases are not affordable and don’t anticipate that happening. The city plans to work hard at getting infrastruc-ture grants and is looking for ways to lower costs.

“Rossland has the highest property taxes in the region. The proposed increased costs for water and sewer negatively affect affordability. Will chang-es to the water & sewer rates deter new residents & business-es?”

Mayor Moore was conscious of Rossland’s higher taxes, but pointed out that Rossland also differs from its neighbours.

“Taxes are often cited as an issue in Rossland compared to our neighbors. It’s true, our taxes are higher but it’s not an apples to apples comparison,” she said. “Other local governments either have large industrial taxpayers or utilities to help defray their costs or they don’t offer a lot of facilities or services. Rossland is unique in that we offer a full range of facilities and services but we only have residential tax-payers to cover the costs.”

Moore also acknowledged that not everyone uses every facility or service, but said that for all the people who wouldn’t mind see-ing a facility closed down, there were still many who valued and used the facility.

“When reading the infor-mation on justification for in-crease, I understood that man-datory water meters HAD to be installed at a certain time. I recently read in one of the newsletters that a few house-holds are not on meters and still are paying the old rates. How is this justified?”

According to Moore, Rossland has 45 homes that have picked up their meters, but haven’t in-stalled them, and two homes that haven’t yet picked them up.

“We have sent many letters out with little to no response as to why they are not installing the meters,” she said. “Under the new rates, properties that do not have meters will pay very high rates for water. Some are just non-compliant and new rates for unmetered will hit them hard.”

FIRST BLAST OF SNOW

On Friday I took my first bus ride in Rossland.

Transit BC is currently undertaking a transit service review of the Greater Trail Transit System, and I was curious to take the system for a test drive, as I’ve been driving my car since I arrived in town over four months ago.

I had no particular reason to want to go to Trail that afternoon, but that seemed like the best (only?) trip to make, so I headed out to Columbia Ave. to jump on a bus.

What I found was that my trip was pretty uneventful once I’d gotten on the bus, but that figuring out when and where to get on the bus was a tad confusing.

Headed to downtown Rossland, I at

least knew where I wanted to get on the bus, but since both downtown Rossland stops are called Columbia/Spokane I somehow got the times confused and showed up to watch the bus go by the other way, which left me with around 30 minutes to kill while I waited for the bus I wanted.

In downtown Trail, I got the time right, but had trouble finding the stop.

As a city slicker this was frustrating because it all seemed so avoidable. Why couldn’t I just go stand at a bus stop and text to get the time the bus was coming like I could in Vancouver?

The answer is pretty obvious. When buses sometimes come as far apart as an hour and a half, you don’t just go stand on the side of the road and hope for the best.

As someone who’s only recently left behind frequent bus service (but who also

didn’t grow up with it), I have to say I re-ally did appreciate it.

Since I’d gone all the way down to Trail, I decided to make the most of it and do a little shopping in the downtown area, but by the time I was finished I’d missed the bus back to Rossland by 15 minutes, and then had an hour to kill (part of which I used to find out where the bus stop was).

I wasn’t in any particular hurry that day, so I just went and found a place to warm up and have something to drink, but I hate to think what would have hap-pened if I’d been depending on transit to get me to work on time, or even to get me home at the end of a long work day.

From my previous experience growing up in small town BC, I know that’s when the desperate phone calls usually begin.

All in all, I’m very glad I brought my car to the Kootenays.

First time riding the Rossland bus

Green shift returns, goes globalWe will soon learn what

Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have in mind for Canada’s renewed ef-fort to influence climate change.

As they prepare to join the 40,000 people jetting to Paris for the next big United Nations summit to deal with human im-pact on the world’s weather, here is some context for what is to come in December and beyond.

Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion served as envi-ronment minister under former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin. Then, as Liberal leader, Dion’s proposed “green shift” carbon tax was pivotal only in ending his leadership. With a majority government this time, he promises the entire federal cabinet will be involved.

Dion gave a revealing inter-view to The Globe and Mail last week about his experience in government.

“The old system was to give

the file of the environment to the minister of the environment and say, ‘deal with it, be the hero of the environment groups, but don’t bother us because we have jobs to create and an economy to grow’,” Dion said. “That will not work.”

It certainly didn’t work, which is not surprising since Dion is admitting the Liberals consid-ered the environment min-istry a mere public relations tool. This was the period when Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, then pretended to care about it as the United States rejected it in a unani-mous vote of Congress.

We now understand more about those environmen-tal groups, most funded by U.S. billionaires to target the Canadian oil and gas industry while the U.S. booms. Their tactics were on display in the defeat of the Keystone XL oil pipeline to the U.S., with ar-guments that even President Barack Obama acknowledged were exaggerated.

Dion’s ill-fated “green shift” wasn’t just about greenhouse

gases. He intended to impose a national carbon tax and use the proceeds to eliminate child poverty.

This concept is back, on a global scale. If you’ve been to the movies lately, you may have seen a slick animated commercial sponsored by the UN, featur-ing animals running the world from the seats of the General Assembly. “We have a plan,” trumpets the elegant llama at the podium, not only to fix climate change but to eliminate poverty as well.

One problem with Kyoto was that it left emerging economies like China and India untouched. And while Canada endures false allegations of subsidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on average at a third of Canadian prices.

China and India’s carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public relations gesture in 1997. That growth is

one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fall-en to below two per cent.

Here in BC, Clark intends to unveil her “Climate 2.0” plan before heading to Paris. We’ll see if it includes another increase in BC’s vaunted carbon tax, which now translates to about seven cents on a litre of gasoline.

Even without carbon taxes, about a third of the pump price Canadians pay is federal, pro-vincial and local tax. In Metro Vancouver, it’s closer to 40 per cent. In Venezuela, a big winner in the Keystone XL decision, gas sells for around two cents a litre.

The BC government admits its post-carbon tax reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was largely due to the global reces-sion of 2008-09. Now with crude oil at historic low prices, BC’s carbon tax is a weak signal lost in the noise of a world-wide glut of oil and gas.

Emcon LotMike Kent from

Rossland Youth Action Network and Robin Strachan and Heath Clement from the Rossland Skatepark Association both made presentations to coun-cil regarding the Emcon Lot. YAN would like to move the Space to a city building on the Emcon lot, which would com-plement the Skatepark Association’s plans to turn the southeast corner of the lot into a skate-park.

Strachan and Clement also asked council if it would be possible to piggy back on the Washington St. construc-tion. Since the city will be buying large amounts of concrete, the Skatepark Association would like to take advantage of their buying power to order their own concrete. Similarly, since there will be heavy equipment on site for Washington St., the association would like to take advantage of that and reduce costs by using the same equip-ment. The Skatepark

Association will still pay for their own concrete and equipment fees, but piggy backing off the city will allow them to reduce overall costs.Water and sewer rates

Council officially voted to rescind its mo-tion to introduce new water and sewer rates by Jan. 1, 2016. Council also voted to have staff look into options for getting a planning tool for setting new rates at a cost of up to $3,500.

Sustainability Commission

Councillor Andrew Zwicker made a motion that staff should look into an a separate fund-ing procedure, outside the community group funding application, for the Sustainability Commission. As it stands, the commission has to submit an annual budget before receiving strategic direction from council. Allocating fund-ing for the commission outside the community group funding would allow them to put off constructing a full line budget until after they had an idea of their objectives for the year. It would not effect the

overall funding the com-mission receives.

The motion passed with only Councillor Lloyd McLellan opposed.

Guest houseFollowing a public

hearing on Monday, council approved a new guest house at 2075 Thompson Ave. at Tuesday’s regular meet-ing. Council received two letters regarding the guest house — one for and one against — and heard from two speak-ers — Angela Price and Janie Simister.

Price, who runs a guest house and B&B, questioned whether or not Rossland could support another guest house, and Councillor John Greene suggested that it would be best to let the market decide.

FireSmart grantStaff recommend-

ed that the City of Rossland apply for a 2016 FireSmart grant that will cover 100 per cent of costs up to $10,000 to support residents in undertaking FireSmart planning activities on private lands. Council felt this was a no brainer and voted to have staff apply for the grant.

Rossland’s Girl Guiders presented Doug Halladay, president of the Legion, with thank you cards in apprecia-tion for the Legion offer-ing them a free space for their meetings. Many new girls joined Sparks at the enrolment ceremony.

Pockets of whooping cough cases continue to pop up across the Kootenay Boundary leading to overall numbers significantly higher than other regions.

Of the 38 pertussis (whooping cough) con-firmed cases in the region this year, Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi says the majority of those have been in the Castlegar area.

Following a Nov. 12 Interior Health (IH) review of statistics, Dr. Golmohammadi confirmed 24 new cases have been reported locally, adding to 140 diagnoses throughout IH facilities since January.

The bulk of those cases are children ages 10 through 14, which is a similar demographic to other regions in the province and across the country.

“The Kootenay Boundary area from an epidemio-logical perspective is very interesting,” the doctor told the Trail Times. “We continue to see scattered cases…in 2013 the highrates were in Trail,” he added. “We had high rates in Nelson in 2014, and nearly half the cases this year were in Castlegar. So far this year, Castlegar has the highest rate.”

The contagious disease is spread person to person through droplet contact (sneezing, coughing) and is very preventable with vaccine, says Golmohammadi.

Infants are most at risk for developing serious complications from pertussis, so he strongly advises parents maintain immunization schedules, which includes a “DPT”(diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus) vac-cine at two months.

Intramuscular injections are repeated three more times until the child is 18 months, again at four to six years, then as a booster in Grade 9.

The preparation is extremely tolerable and effec-tive, he says, but the trade off is an immune response that weakens over time.

That means adults and adolescents who have not received a booster vaccination are at risk of infection and can be the source of infection for infants and young children.

Public health has advised J.L. Crowe Secondary School that Grade 9 immunizations will take place Dec. 2, so students are reminded to wear a short-sleeved shirt that day.

“If you are exposed to the germ after a few months your immune response is brisk,” Golmohammadi clarified. “It is estimated within three to five years there is a waning phenomena so one booster dose at any age in adulthood is also recommended.”

Infection is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis, so those afflicted require treatment of prescribed medication to lessen the infectious period from two to three weeks to as little as five days.

First symptoms of whooping cough are similar to those of a common cold, and may include runny nose, sneezing, mild fever and a low-grade cough.

After one to two weeks, the dry cough evolves into severe coughing spells that can last for more than one minute, causing breathlessness.

Inhalation of air post-cough can produce the telltale whooping sound.

Besides vaccination, other practises can greatly reduce risk of infection.

Frequent hand washing, cough etiquette and a sick day from work or school minimizes contact and spread of the respiratory germ.

“It’s important for parents to immunize,” Golmohammadi concluded. “And it’s very impor-tant to maintain hand hygiene and to stay home if a person is sick, and limit transmission of the disease.”

One to three deaths related to pertussis occur in Canada each year, particularly in infants who are too young to be immunized, or partially immunized and unimmunized children.

News

Often the perception of college students is they are young think-ers fresh out of high school and still living at home.

There’s a fair amount of those students, says the Local 4 Student Union organizer.

But she points out that the av-erage student at Selkirk College is an adult, aged 27.

“There are those young kids coming out of high school,” said Robin Legere from the Local’s Castlegar office. “But there’s also those with mortages, families and kids. There’s a whole bunch of commitments, so having to find hundreds of dollars to go back to school would be tough.”

Selkirk College is one of the few provincial post secondary in-stitutions that made a conscious decision not to charge students for Adult Basic Education (ABE) after the province cut $6.9 million from the program this year.

But the money has to come from somewhere. So news the non-partisan finance committee has recommended reinstatement of ABE funding in 2016 is wel-

come to Legere, who says basic education is a fundamental that every student deserves.

“Some of the students didn’t finish high school or maybe high school wasn’t their thing and they didn’t do well,” she explained. “But this also affect students who were good atschool but didn’t take the requirements they need to go on in post secondary. “

Paying to upgrade basics like math, English or science can impede further education, says Legere.

“For a lot of students it’s being able to pursue what they want to do or not,” she said. “Because it’s not just $25, it can be up to hundreds or thousands of dollars depending on how many courses you need.”

Education is a top concern among British Columbians, ac-cording to the budget consultation report released Friday by BC’s non partisan finance committee.

A select standing committee of MLAs host public consulta-tions across BC every fall, giving citizens an opportunity to present ideas for next year’s provincial budget.

In total, 572 submissions were received before the Oct. 15 dead-line, then 63 recommendations compiled based on public re-sponses. Notably, all recommen-dations were unanimously agreed to by committee members.

High priorities range from restoration of ABE funding and adequate funding for K-12 edu-cation, to the need for balanced budgets, investment in natural resource sector with green ini-tiatives, continued investment in provincial infrastructure, taxation reviews and addressing the high cost of housing and rental accom-modations.

“The consultation aspect of the budget process is an important opportunity to engage with British Columbians,” said commit-tee chair and MLA Delta North Scott Hamilton.“Today’s report summarizes what the committee heard and makes a number of recommendations for the provin-cial government to consider for Budget 2016.”

Locally, a public hearing was hosted in Castlegar, attended by 10 legislative representatives, includ-ing Dan Ashton, MLA Penticton.

Provincial panel recommends restoring ABE

“It’s not just talking,” says Devin Knox, age 17. “It’s also social media, so it’s anything that gives you a voice, where people can hear you and understand your opinion.”

Remaining silent is a way to raise awareness for those who have no voice, and it seems fitting that Me to We Rossland has decided to donate money earned to Wins Transition House, which shelters women who are leaving violent or abusive situations.

Me to We Rossland is part of the Rossland Youth Action Network.

“We decided that it would be an awesome idea to start a Me to We club, and it’s pretty much getting kids involved in volunteering locally and internationally,” says Knox.

Knox recently returned from a Me to We trip where she spent a month volunteering at a rural Indian school.

Now back home, she and Me to We Rossland are cur-renlty more focused on providing local support.

“The whole point of the Me to We club is to support a local charity and do events and volunteer for them and raise money for them, and then also pick an international oganisation,” says Knox. “So we’ve decided [that] up until about May we’re going to be doing things for local organi-zations and then in May we’re going to do a big thing for an international organization.”

The group is thinking of choosing an organization in-

volved with water.Monday night, Me to We Rossland gathered at the YAN

Space to create Yodel pages for We Are Silent, so that they can easily collect pledges.

Mike Kent, YAN coordinator, gave the kids tips on how to set up their pages and get the word out. They also asked him questions about how they’re supposed to negotiate things like their jobs.

Because some of the youth need to work on Friday, they won’t necessarily be completing the challenge that day. They may to do it on Thursday or Saturday instead.

Kent, who also owns Yodel, wanted to emphasize that the site is waving its five per cent site administration fees for any money raised by the Me to We group.

The group will also be doing a fundraiser during Rekindle on Dec. 5.

Me to We members will wrap gifts at the space, and all proceeds will go to the West Kootenay Friends of Refugees.

The school district has a few more dollars to spread locally following a $405,000 bump in provincial funding.

The Ministry of Education announced 109 projects in-cluded in this year’s $35 mil-lion routine capital program, and on that list was one fa-cility in School District 20 (SD20).

Earmarked for the Kootenay Columbia Learning Centre (KCLC, formerly Trail Middle School), the money will fund improvements to the school’s heating and ven-tilation system.

“We started the project this summer using local capital dollars,” says Greg Luterbach, SD 20 superintendent. “But now we will be able to use those local dollars for a dif-ferentproject.”

Replacing the boiler has been on the books for a few years because of ongoing problems with the geother-mal unit, which was installed when the building opened 16 years ago.

“The old geoexchange system was original with the building (opened Sept

2000) but did not work well,” Luterbach explained. “We had to move from using ground-water to citywater years and years ago because the system did not work effectively and the geothermal water source constantly clogged the sys-tem.”

A new boiler and chilling tower is now installed, which Luterbach says is a money-saver.

“The former system was engineered to use geothermal but never functioned as de-signed,” he reiterated. “So we had to feed the system with city water and then heat or cool accordingly which was inefficient and expensive.”

The province’s routine cap-ital program selects projects based on need, priority and supporting student learning, according to Thursday’s news release.

Elsewhere in the region, three schools in the Kootenay Lake District received a com-bined $525,000 for boiler up-grades; in Arrow Lakes School District, Lucerne Elementary is being funded $339,000 for heating and air conditioning improvements and Nakusp Elementary, $245,000 for solar power installation.
