B.C.'s Lieutenant Governor is visit-ing the region next week as part of her mandate to visit every community in the province during the role's five-year term.
Honourable Judith Guichon was appointed to the position by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2012.
She is the 29th Lieutenant Governor of BC, representing Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen of Canada, on a provincial level.
Her visit through the West Kootenay begins Tuesday in Rossland and carries through to Trail until the evening and early Wednesday, the Slocan Valley Thursday, then Friday in Montrose and Fruitvale.
Each community has events planned that highlight the West Kootenay life-style, business climate, and schools, but mostly the occasion calls for Her Honour to meet the people who call this area, home.
Guichon's first day begins in the Alpine City and breakfast with Rossland Mayor Kathy Moore and her council, as well as several local busi-ness leaders.
“It will be an honour for Rossland and all our local communities as she makes her way around the Kootenays,” said Moore. “I want to introduce her to some of the innovative and creative people who call Rossland home and are making a contribution to the local economy.”
Moore said people from other parts of the province have no idea what the West Kootenay has to offer, but once they visit and discover the lifestyle amenities and world class recreation, they get a job or create a business and move their enterprise here.
“I think the LG will be surprised and delighted by the people she meets on her travels in our area,” added Moore.
Next, Guichon will tour the city's three unique schools and have a chat with the students.
“There will also be opportunity for the students to share something spe-cial they are working on, which will be a great learning opportunity for everyone involved,” said Moore.
Later that day, she will arrive to Trail and tour the Sanctuary Pre-teen Drop-in Centre with Barbara Gibson, the Trail/Warfield Citizen of the Year. After a spaghetti dinner with Trail Mayor Mike Martin, members of coun-cil, and Trail's three ambassadors, she will meet with local seniors in the Trail Seniors' Centre on Portland Street
after an introduction that includes Pipe Major John Mager.
The following morning at 9 a.m. the City of Trail has planned her visit to James L. Webster Elementary School where she will be met by Principal Brian Stefani, Warfield Mayor Ted Pahl, Trail Mayor Mike Martin and School Trustee Darrel Ganzert.
Pipe Major John Mager will lead the procession before Guichon address-es the students in an assembly that includes guests and an opportunity for students to ask her questions.
She arrives in the Beaver Valley Friday afternoon, and is scheduled for an afternoon tea at Mountain Side Village in an event hosted by Golden Life Management.
All seniors in Fruitvale are welcome
to meet Guichon in the facility's din-ing room from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.
After a brief tour of the village with Fruitvale Mayor Patricia Cecchini, the guides and scouts will be saluting Guichon during a procession in front of the Rain Garden at 3:45 p.m., fol-lowed by a reception in the Memorial Hall until 5 p.m. with invited special guests.
Her Honour's visit to the area ends Friday evening in the Montrose Community Hall from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. when the village hosts an open house for all its residents.
Once the West Kootenay tour winds up, the Lieutenant Governor heads over the Kootenay Pass for a visit in Creston and other East Kootenay com-munities.
Lt. Governor to tour region next weekItinerary includes stops in Rossland, Warfield, Trail, Montrose and Fruitvale

One of the main events during Silver City Days past has been a ceremony hon-ouring inductees for the Greater Trail Home of Champions (HOC) monument in downtown Trail, but not this year.
The committee that runs the nomina-tion and presentation program haven't received enough submissions to warrant a ceremony during this year's springtime celebrations.
Jamie Forbes, with the HOC society, says the program currently has two future inductees waiting in the wings for their moment in the spotlight, but the society only holds a ceremony when they have a total of five accepted nominations.
“We try to hold this ceremony on the Silver City Days weekend, as it ties in nice-ly with the community spirit and pride that is generated by the HOC program,” he said, adding that the program has had a very successful 20 years. “To date, 142 individuals and groups have been recog-nized on the monument and we currently have two that have been accepted for the next ceremony.”
A quick stroll by the Home of Champions plaques will show the musicians, business-people and more who have earned their spot on the downtown monument, located at Farwell Street and Cedar Avenue.
Forbes says the low number of nomina-tion packages this past year could have to do with misconceptions about who quali-
fies for the honour. Recognizing athletes is just part of what the society hopes to accomplish.
“It is important to clarify that the HOC program is not just about recognizing athletes,” he said. “I don't even know
if athletes make up the majority of the inductees. There are three categories in which a champion may be grouped: sports, lifestyle and business and science.”
Another misconception about the HOC nomination process is that all nominees
have to be from Trail.“There may be someone who is deserv-
ing of the honour, but their achievements are not well known,” said Forbes, adding that that person might be from Fruitvale, or Montrose or Rossland.
Even though they are short three accepted honourees, both Forbes and Lisa Pasin, the Trail council representative on the HOC board, say the program is extremely important to Trail and the sur-rounding communities.
“It is important, as a community, that we recognize those that have achieved success and take the opportunity to cel-ebrate with each other,” said Pasin, adding that the program shows no signs of shut-ting or slowing down.
“Greater promotion (of the HOC pro-gram) is important because recognition of citizens creates a greater sense of com-munity for our citizens and strengthens community pride. The board wants to recognize everyone that should be on the monument from the Greater Trail Area.”
The board accepts nominations all year round. Specific criteria and the proper forms for a nominations can be found on the City of Trail website, or by contacting Forbes at [email protected].
“(We) encourage residents to nominate anyone they feel may be deserving of being recognized on the monument,” said Forbes.
“It is a very special honour and one to be proud of.”
Home of Champions seeking more nominees
Trail Times file phoTo
There will be no Home of Champions inductions to the monument during this year’s Silver City Days as the committee seeks to acquire more nominations before an official ceremony.
FROM PAGE 1“My husband works in the
mines, so I started making grilled cheese with my own spin and people loved them. I’d like to open a food truck, but when we came here, I thought I would start with this tent.”
Options include pulled pork and crispy onions, chicken with cactus cut sauce and crispy
potatoes, or for the sweet tooth, apple pie grill cheese.
Whatever the choice, sand-wiches are served on fresh cia-batta that’s grilled on a panini press.
“Our first event was last weekend at Castlegar’s Spring Fling,” she said.
“I’ve already had one lady come up to me on the street to
tell me how good her sandwich was. I’ve been getting a lot of good feedback, and I am really excited for this weekend.”
The newcomers are working alongside returning food court favourites including the Lower Columbia Metis Society’s grilled buffalo burgers and the Kiwanis beef on a bun or deep fried corn dog.
Silver City Days is a major fundraiser for both groups, and all funds raised stay local.
“Everything, including our burgers, are bought locally,” said Myrt Servatius from the Metis organization.
“Most of the money raised helps fund our annual Louis Riel dinner, which is free to the community,” she explained. “And if our members need help with something, like taking a course at Selkirk or money for an art project, we will help with that as well.”
Kiwanis Brian Pipes said serving up a loaded beef on a bun and corn dogs is the group’s second biggest annual fundraiser.
Money raised is dispersed through 20 local organiza-tions such as Special Olympics,
Kootenay Festival of the Arts, the Jumpstart program, and the Trail Ambassador program.

Aug 1955 - May 6, 2015
It is with profound regret that the family of David Andrew Taylor announce that he has passed away after a very hard fought four year battle with pancreatic cancer.
David was born in Kamloops in 1955 and lived his young life there and in Salmon Arm. He was an outdoorsman at heart and his life was fi lled with hunting, fi shing, riding, cattle ranching and, being a the consummate cowboy, roping garbage cans from the back of a moving truck with his best friend Jim.David moved to northern Alberta in his early twenties and became an excavator and heavy machinery operator in the oilfi eld which was his profession for the rest of his life. He was a true craftsman and was considered one of the very best in his fi eld. He travelled the four western provinces and the Yukon for his jobs and made many friends along the way.In 1984 he met and married his wife, Stacy, and together they built their life and raised their two sons, Josh and Derek. In 1992 they decided it was time to come home to BC and settled in Stacy’s home town of Fruitvale. David made his life here one fi lled with homecomings from far fl ung jobs, popping in to star in the Over the Hill gang’s hockey games, chasing all the wildlife that he could during hunting season and fi shing as often as he could squeeze it in. For those of us who loved him, in our hearts, we know that David has now gone hunting far, far above the timberline.David is survived by his wife of 30 years, Stacy, his sons, Josh and Derek and his most loved granddaughter, Lana. He is also survived by his sister Linda Huntington, brother Robert, his Aunts, Evelyn (Don) Bacon, Anna (Wayne) Webber & Alma Quibell as well his brothers and sisters-in-law Ardie (Bill) Thomas, Howard (Val) Shannon, Debbie (David) Leavitt, Wally (Dawn) Shannon, his nieces, nephews, great-nieces, nephews, cousins and many, many good friends.David was predeceased by both his father Dennis and father-in-law Johnny Shannon in 2004, his mother Marie in 2012, his mother-in-law Beth Shannon in 2013 and his nephew Nicklas in 2015.A family memorial will be held at a later date. Our family asks that in lieu of fl owers donations be made to the charity of your choice.Our family wishes to say thank you to all our friends and family for your care and kindness. A special thanks to Bob and Carol who held us up when the going got very rough. To Bert, Bob and Jim, better friends were never made. The love and kindness that each of you wrapped our family in will forever be cherished by us all.We would also wish to express our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Scotland, the nurses and staff in KBRH Oncology department. Your level of excellence is beyond measure and your compassion is felt deeply in the hearts of our family. To the nurses from Home Care, your gentle care for David made him feel safe and heard. To the kind, lovely nurse who held David’s hand as he left this world, words will never be enough to express our gratitude. And lastly to our own Dr. Libby McCoid. David was blessed to have you. You are truly on the side of the Angels.You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca

dream: Getting back the dog that vanished four years ago on the Fourth of July.
Kelly Booker’s 9-year-old Shih Tzu, Lilly, was found last month wandering the streets nearly a thousand miles away in Elgin, Illinois.
Booker said Thursday that his pet disappeared on July 4, 2011, when he put her in the backyard as he headed to a fireworks show.
She was identified by a microchip with her owner’s contact information, and Booker was notified.

S k e e n a - B u l k l e y Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen says if the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline pro-ject wasn’t dead before the NDP sweep of the Alberta provincial elec-tion, it is now.
NDP leader Rachel Notley led her party to an historic victory in this week’s provincial election, overturning decades of Progressive Conservative rule, and promising her majority government would bring change to Alberta.
Part of that change is her stance on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline, which as proposed would transport heavy crude from Alberta to a terminal in Kitimat where it would then be shipped to eastern markets.
Notley knocked out PC premier Jim Prentice, who resigned not only the party leadership but also his seat.
Before becom-ing leader of the PCs, Prentice had been tasked with shoring up support for Northern Gateway.
The controversial pipeline was approved by the federal govern-ment nearly a year ago, subject to 209 condi-tions, and the com-pany has been working towards meeting those conditions.
“Rachel Notley was elected in with a
strong majority gov-ernment on a man-date to not pursue the Northern Gateway pipeline,” said Cullen. “If this were such an important pipeline and people had great hopes and expectations that would have been very difficult for her to win.”
Enbridge Northern Gateway released a statement to media yesterday saying that the company looks for-ward to sitting down with the new Alberta government to pro-vide an update on the project and their part-nerships with First Nations in Alberta and B.C.
“We share a vision with the new Alberta government for world leading environmental protections for energy projects,” read the statement.
“We believe that our vision for this project will earn the support of the new government and we look forward to this dialogue.”
Cullen said he doesn’t know what else it will take for the company to give up its pipeline plans.
“This is another nail in the coffin. Enbridge, if they don’t know that,
then they’re not very bright – and we know they’re bright because they hire a lot of expen-sive people,” he said.
And Cullen thinks the company should spend more time pur-suing projects that have the endorsement and support of First Nations, citing prelim-inary plans between Enbridge and Kitselas to explore geother-mal opportunities on Kitselas territory near the Lakelse hot
springs.“Why fight against
communities,” he said. “Why not work with us?”
Over the past sever-al months Cullen cam-paigned on his private members bill, which, along with banning supertankers off the north coast, focussed on a value-added energy plan – some-thing Notley speaks of as well.
“She’s also sug-gested that value-add-ed is very important to changing the math on these pipelines – changing the risk and reward with these pipelines,” he said.
“Getting away from one pipeline or another... broadening the conversation.”
Alberta election last nail in Northern Gateway coffin: Cullen
“This is another nail in the coffin. Enbridge, if they don’t know that, then they’re not very bright – and
we know they’re bright because they hire a lot of expensive people.”

In its ongoing bid to try and convince Interior Health not to contract out its laundry services in 11 communities throughout the region, including Kelowna, the Health Employees’ Union held another protest rally out-side Kelowna General Hospital Wednesday.
And this time, union repre-sentatives said they were buoyed by more than 12,000 signatures collected on a petition calling on IH to keep the existing service in place.
According to Jennifer Whiteside, secretary/treasurer of the HEU, 175 workers in the Interior Health Authority region could loose their jobs if the laundry service is con-tracted out to a firm in either the Lower Mainland or Alberta, 28 of them at KGH.
She said for those who do find work with the contractor, the pay will likely be lower than the roughly $18 per hour now paid to laundry workers.
The union wants IH to invest $10 million over then next 10 years to update its laundry facili-ties across the health author-ity region, a move IH has so far resisted. The union considered the investment a “drop in the bucket,” when compared withe the overal $17 billion spent on healthcare in B.C.
So the union is taking its petition to the provincial gov-ernment—which funds Interior Health—and is stepping up its public pressure campaign to save the laundry workers jobs.
For laundry worker Jessica Guthrie, the loss of her job at KGH could have a devastating effect on her and her family.
“If I lose my job, I could lose my house,” said the young mother of two.
She said the service here does laundry not only for Kelowna General but also eight other care facilities in the area. And it is an integral part of the local health-care system as it provide clean linens, towns and gowns for a growing hospital, a service that helps stop the spread of infection.
On an average day, more than 17,000 pounds of laundry is washed at KGH and both Gutherie and the union fear that if it were to be contracted out to a firm elsewhere, the turn-around time for getting fresh, clean linens back to the hospital could be comprom-ised.
Whiteside said IH has conced-ed the existing laundry service, despite operating with machinery that is well out of date is excel-lent, but the issue not the quality of work being done but rather is finding money for the required upgrade of the equipment.
The union is trying to make a presentation to Kelowna city coun-cil in a bid to win it’s support for keeping the service here. However, so far, the city has rebuffed the union.
But other municipal council’s elsewhere in the southern Interior have lend their voice. The HEU says councils in Kamloops, Vernon and 100-Mile House have all called on Interior Health to keep the laundry services “in house.”

The number of Metro Vancouverites who have voted in the transit tax plebiscite is now pulling ahead of the voter turnout in last November’s muni-cipal elections in most cities.
Elections BC has now received more than 600,000 ballots or 38 per cent of the 1.56 million packages it mailed out.
More than 550,000 ballots, or 35.3 per cent, have now gone through Elections BC’s initial screening pro-cess.
The count of screened ballots (see interactive charts broken down by muni-cipality below) shows last November’s muni-cipal election turnout has been surpassed in all major cities of the region except Surrey
and Port Moody.Most Metro cit-
ies recorded turnout in November of 25 to 32 per cent, with Vancouver at 37.6 per cent.
Surrey’s rate of ballots returned and screened is just under 30 per cent – the worst in the region – but even that city isn’t far behind its November election turnout rate of 31.5 per cent.
Anyone who hasn’t received a ballot, or
lost or misplaced theirs, has until mid-night May 15 to ask Elections BC for one by calling 1-800-661-8683 or see more info at elections.bc.ca/pleb-iscite.
The deadline for ballots to be received is 8 p.m. Friday May 29, but ballots mailed in late May might not arrive in time and should instead be dropped off at an Elections BC plebiscite office.
Referendum response exceeds municipal election turnout

Recreation in the Valley and Park Appreciation Night
Spring is a favour-ite time of year for many: the sun is out, the creeks are
rising, the birds are busy, the buds have broken open at the vineyards, soccer fields are full of kids and parents, the holiday trailer is getting cleaned up and ready to go, parades and festivals kick off, and my Dad is planting his garden.
This is also a time to get outdoors and explore new and different recrea-tional activities.
Part of what makes our community healthy and vibrant are the many won-derful opportunities we have here in the Beaver Valley.
Did you know that we have 14 parks in the Beaver Valley? There are four walking trails, and we are currently working with Kootenay Columbia Trails Society and a vol-unteer group to create another.
Each of our parks and trails offer something a
little different. The walk-ing trails are for all age groups; we encourage you to try them.
We will soon be look-ing to the public to help us generate some recrea-tion development ideas for the 95 acres of land that our former Mayor, Libby Nelson, generously donated to B.V. Recreation in 2014.
Named “Columbia Ridge” at Libby’s request, we look forward to this new opportunity for the region – thank you Libby!
In addition to these activities, B.V. Recreation offers a variety of pro-grams and specials events throughout the year for adults, seniors, youth and pre-schoolers. Go to rdkb.com/Services/R e c r e a t i o n C u l t u r e /BeaverValley for more information, or call the B.V. Recreation Office at 250 367–9319. Our friendly and professional staff will be pleased to help you. You will also
find maps for our great walking trails on the web-site.
Some exciting new pro-jects approved for 2015 include: a new playground for Mazzochi Park, and a facelift for the Arena which includes: new paint, sign-age, doors, landscaping, improved meeting room; and upgrading the shower stalls, and power pole replacement at the Beaver Creek Valley Family Park.
Your Recreation Committee and staff have declared June 9, 2015 as “Park Appreciation Day”.
This year’s feature park will be our Beaver Valley Family Park, located at Marsh Creek, just a couple of kilometres east of Fruitvale. This is a great place to hold your family or group picnic, reunions, weddings and social gath-erings.
There is plenty for everyone to do, with a horseshoe pitch, a play-ground for the children; hiking trails a field great for bocce, ball or soc-cer games, volleyball and basketball courts and a 40’x 40’ cement pad great for dancing. There are a number of trailer and tent sites available with water, electricity and showers with wheelchair access and is open June 1st to Labour Day long weekend.
On June 9, bring your family out to this family friendly park for hot dogs and refreshments from 5-7 p.m.
Bring some activities for the kids. Bring a lawn chair and your own pic-
nic if you like. Enter to win door prizes during the event. Come out and see what a great venue this really is!
Beaver Va l ley Recreation offers a variety of leisure activities for all ages, interests and all skill levels. There is fun, fit-ness and a healthy life-style for the whole family. These are our parks and facilities: come out and enjoy them!
Hope to see you there.Ali Grieve is the dir-
ector for the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Area A.

From the Trail Creek News in 1895 to the Trail Times in 2015, the venerable local newspaper and its staff (from the left; Liz Bevan, Shannon McIlmoyle,
Sheri Regnier, Jeanine Margoreeth, Kevin Macintyre, Dave Dykstra, Jim Bailey, Michelle Bedford, Lonnie Hart and Guy Bertrand) are celebrating its 120th
anniversary in 2015.
Newspaper grows from humble beginnings in 1895B Y S H E R I R E G N I E R
Times Staff
The source of prosperity of the
Trail Creek county is, of course, its
magnificent ore bodies, according
the first edition of the Trail Creek
News. “Our interests at present
lie centred in and about the noble
structure that is rising foot by foot
on the brow of the hill overhanging
the beautiful town of Trail and of
its growth and magnitude we now
write,” noted the paper's writer and
editor W.F. Thompson on the inau-
gural front page.
The day was Saturday, Oct. 19,
1895 when Volume No. 1 of The
Trail Creek News was hot off the
presses. Under the headline, “This Means
You! When You Patronize the News
You Help Trail Grow,” Thompson
writes that it is now in order for
every citizen of Trail to subscribe
for the home newspaper, The Trail
Creek News, and “the times are
right for such a movement, the
price is right and if the News of
today is not all right, we will make
it right in future issues.”
The price was said to be “cheap”
at $2 per year, and the News office
would be found open all day long
and far into the night, and future
readers were expected to hand in
their subscription at once, so they
would not miss one issue of the
Trail newspaper. “If you want the
news, you must read the News,”
Thompson proclaimed almost 12
decades ago.While there's no silver or gold
commemoration for more than a
century of news reporting, the Trail
Times staff decided an honorary pat
on the back is deserving to all the
people who have typed, pressed,
written, delivered, or simply read
their way into the 120-year history
of the Silver City's only surviving
newspaper.Over the course of the year, we
will actively seek stories from peo-
ple in the Greater Trail commu-
nity such as long time subscribers,
past paper carriers and retired office
workers, who have memories to
share about how the Trail Times has
impacted their lives.See EARLY, Page 3

An editorial from the Red Deer Advocate
The world received a wel-come piece of good news recently: Canada has passed off chairmanship of the Arctic Council, and it will likely be 16 years or more before we get it back.
That leaves the world plenty of time for real leaders to address the alarming environ-mental changes that are occurring in the region, and hopefully to cur-tail unwarranted energy exploration in the North, with all of its pollution risks.
The council meets every two years, in the country of the current chair. (The members are Canada, the U.S., Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland, plus all circumpolar indigenous peoples.)
Last month’s meeting in Iqaluit was supposed to be preceded by a showcase event in Ottawa the day before. The event was to celebrate the council’s accomplishments during our two-year stint in the rotating chairmanship, but it was abruptly called off.
The reason was politics. How would it look if senior Russian officials were invited to visit Ottawa for what is essential-ly a photo-op, while Canada/Russian tensions over events in Ukraine were so high?
It would remain for Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq to repeat Canada’s outrage over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its military sup-port for rebel forces wanting to secede parts of Ukraine into Russia.
As it was, Russia already had received the message and didn’t care to hear it again. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had attended
every Arctic Council meeting since 2004, but gave this one a miss. Environment Minister Sergei Donskoi came in his stead.
And in the due course of events, chairmanship passed to the United States, which wasted no time in announcing the agenda of the last two years has been ended.
The Arctic Council is no place for geo-political mess-ing around, while back doors were being opened for accelerated indus-trial development of the North, at the expense of the environment.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry assumed the chair and announced that the priorities of the Arctic Council have changed, starting now. Global climate change is occurring fastest at the poles, and addressing the results of receding sea ice, rapid acidifi-cation of the ocean, the col-lapse of permafrost, rising sea levels and general warming would take immediate priority.
“This is not a future chal-lenge, this is happening right now,” Kerry said, adding that all member nations “must do everything we can to prevent worse impacts” of greenhouse gas emissions.
“The Arctic Council can do more on climate change,” Kerry said.
News reports of the change of chairmanship say the move was welcomed by the other members of the council, who also want to focus on the threats of a warming climate both on the land and on the people who live there.
Canada, for its part, has made no secret (or at least it has been a very poor one) of its lack of concern regarding cli-mate change. In the minds of our governors, the best protec-
tion we should offer the wild areas of the north is a good dose of profiteering.
Thus the formation of the Arctic Economic Council, a self-selecting group of busi-nesses that work in that for-midably difficult region. The economic council was a chief highlight of Aglukkaq’s term as chair of the Arctic Council.
Except in corporate board-rooms, our current govern-ment has made very few friends globally for its environment policies. Rather, our govern-ment has made our country a global embarrassment on issues of greenhouse gas emis-sions and pollution.
Remember when Canada’s global brand used to be our forests, glaciers, clean rivers and open, unpolluted vistas? Not so much any more.
So, well and good that Canada no longer drafts the agenda for the Arctic Council. Far better to be a follower, in the presence of better leaders.
The next decade is expected to be a watershed space of time for the Arctic. Either we will preserve what we can, or we will risk losing it all in the greatest global disaster in human history.
Activists around the world still hold out hope that with strong measures to cut green-house gas emissions, we can avoid the worst.
Based on its record, the Canadian government scarcely gives climate change in gen-eral and its effects in the north in specific, a reluctant second thought.
The Arctic Council can be a strong voice, based on its highly industrialized member nations and historic indigen-ous peoples as stakeholders.
Let us hope that a rotation of strong leadership can help bring that about. Lord knows, leadership on the environment from the outside is the best Canadians can hope for.
Just get out of the way
“Canada, for its part, has made no secret of its lack of concern
regarding climate change.”
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Corporate Alberta
may be wringing its hands, but Canada’s market research industry breathed a collective sigh of relief today following the NDP’s remarkable majority victory in the Alberta election.
A variety of polls consist-ently showed strong support for Rachel Notley’s New Democrats in the last weeks of the cam-paign and yet many were reluc-tant to believe the public opin-ion surveys would prove out on election day.
A series of errant predictions on provincial votes over the last couple of years bruised the pro-fession and Alberta’s counter-intuitive swing to the left was seen as a test of polling’s pre-dictive powers.
Pollster Frank Graves of Ekos Research says the indus-try needed a collective win and that Albertans themselves con-tinued to believe there would be a Progressive Conservative victory late into the campaign.
Bruce Cameron, president of Calgary-based polling firm
Return on Insight, was casting doubt on an NDP victory in a published op-ed as recently as Sunday, even though his own survey results strongly sug-gested otherwise.
Pollsters say fluctuating voter turnout is the wild card that confounds election predic-tions, but the solid NDP trend line of support throughout the Alberta campaign made Tuesday night’s victory a certainty when 58 per cent of eligible voters - more than usual in Alberta - cast ballots.
Pollsters relieved at finally getting it right

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SEDMONTON - Omar Khadr is expected to be
released from prison soon after an Alberta Court of Appeal justice rejected a last-ditch government attempt to keep the Guantanamo Bay prisoner behind bars.
Justice Myra Bielby ruled the government failed to prove that allowing Khadr out now
would cause “irreparable harm” to Canada’s international treaty obligations.
Khadr was in the courtroom and let out a smile when Bielby announced her decision.
It will be Khadr’s first taste of freedom in almost 13 years, since his capture as a wounded 15-year-old in Afghanistan in July 2002.
“Mr. Khadr, you’re free to go,” Bielby said.A spokesman for Minister of Public Safety
Steven Blaney said the government was dis-appointed with the decision.
“(We) regret that a convicted terrorist has been allowed back into Canadian society without having served his full sentence,” Jeremy Laurin said in a statement.
Bielby’s ruling comes after Tuesday’s 11th-hour attempt by Ottawa to keep the 28-year-old Khadr behind bars.
A lower court judge had granted Khadr bail last month while he appeals his war crimes con-viction in the United States.
Khadr is now expected to be freed later today under conditions that include wearing a tracking bracelet.
Among his other restrictions, Khadr will have to observe a night-time curfew, face limits on contact with his Toronto family, and live with his lawyer, Dennis Edney, and wife Patricia at their home in Edmonton.
After the ruling, Edney hugged and kissed his wife, who was crying uncontrollably, as others cheered in the courtroom.
Moments later, Edney said he was incredibly delighted with the decision.
“It’s taken too many years to get to this point,” he said.
“I look forward to Omar Khadr letting the Canadian public see who he is, to challenge the lies of this government who has not allowed him to be seen or speak to you.”
The government had argued that releasing Khadr from Bowden Institution near Innisfail, Alta., would undermine the treaty under which
the U.S. returned him to Canada to serve out his eight-year sentence in 2012.
Khadr’s lawyers called that purely speculative, saying no other Canadian prisoner abroad is in a similar situation.
They also pointed to the fact that he’s been a model prisoner who was recently classified as a minimum security, and he could be released on parole in June.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STime is money, and Leslie
Ellins wants a refund for hers...literally.
The financial planner recently wrote a letter to a cen-tral Ontario hospital demand-ing to be reimbursed after wait-ing an hour and a half for a one-minute cortisone injec-tion.
Ellins says she finds fault with the scheduling practices at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre, adding at least four patients were scheduled to see the same doctor at the same time.
But she says the final straw was being told that the doc-tor and his staff had taken a lunch break while patients lan-guished in the waiting room.
She says her anger sim-mered for weeks, but finally boiled over when she received a $25 invoice for a proced-ure that had previously been offered free of charge.
The Buckhorn, Ont., woman wrote the hospital back with a bill of her own, saying it owed her $122.50 for her wasted time.
Ellins calculated the fee based on her professional hour-ly rate of $75 minus the charge for the injection, but said the money was only a secondary issue.
“It’s the total lack of cour-tesy on the part of everybody at the hospital that really angered me,” Ellins said in a telephone interview. “It’s totally disre-spectful.”
Ellins said her ordeal took place on April 14 when she showed up for an 11:15 a.m. appointment.
As she sat in the waiting room, she said she observed at least three other people check in for the same time-slot that she thought had been reserved for her.
As time crept by, Ellins said
one patient approached the receptionist to ask if he could step out for a quick bite to eat in order to keep his diabetes under control.
She said she was shocked when the receptionist refused his request on the grounds that he might miss his appointment time.
Ellins said she became furi-ous when she then learned that lunch breaks were allowed for some people - namely the doc-tor and his staff, who had all stepped out for a meal some time around noon.
“When I have clients wait-ing, I don’t take lunch or I don’t take breaks,” she said. “That just shocked me. That’s sort of what pushed me over the edge.”
When Ellins finally got to see her doctor at 12:45 p.m. and confronted him about the wait time, he told her such issues were all the responsibil-ity of the hospital.
With that in mind, Ellins penned her letter of complaint on May 1 and put it in the mail earlier this week.
The Peterborough Regional Health Centre said it has been in contact with Ellins to dis-cuss her concerns.
“We welcome constructive feedback that will help us to improve our performance and provide our patients with the care they deserve,” the centre said in a statement Thursday.
Ellins said the experience has left her feeling disillusioned with the Canadian health-care system, arguing care provid-ers have lost sight of basic customer service practices and could use a reminder as to who pays their salary.
She also said she’s consid-ering a different approach next time she needs to get a routine injection.
“Give me the needle,” she said. “I’ll ram it in there.”

I would like to take the opportunity in this article to say my goodbye to Trail. After 7 wonderful years here my husband and I are being transferred. We will be leaving the middle of June.
I remember the � rst day we arrived as we came around the corner and there was Trail in front of us. My � rst thought was, “Do you ever take such beauty for granted?” Since then we have been blessed to travel around BC. It certainly is “Beautiful British Columbia.” And no, you never take it for granted; we have continually
been amazed at God’s handiwork.
Then I began to get to know the people in my own congregation and the community. I found not only is Trail beautiful, but so are its people.
I think back to how generous you have been to us each Christmas. And even throughout the year supporting our Food Bank and Soup Kitchen. Please accept my grateful thanks. We could not do it without you.
And we could not do it without all the volunteers who come alongside us at our Community Services and our Thrift Store.
It will be very dif� cult to leave, I have come to love it here. The only thing that I know is that God has always been faithful to me. I have lived in many different places, had many experiences both good and bad but have
always placed my trust in God. I know that He is with me and for me and He loves me.
So that is what I would like to leave with you. No matter what is happening in our lives, God is faithful. Scripture gives us many verses that tell us this. One of my favorites is from Lamentations. I love that it says,
“new every morning.” We can face each new day knowing His love and grace and mercy.
Lamentations 3:22, 23
“His compassions never fail, they are new every morning: great is your faithfulness.”

The Trail Smoke Eaters announced the hiring of their new full-time assistant coach this week.
St. Albert native Ryan Donald will join Smoke Eater head coach Nick Deschenes’ and assistants Barry Zanier and Craig Clair for the 2015-16 season in hopes of directing the Smokies onto a winning track.
“I am thrilled to get started with the Smoke Eaters and work to build a championship caliber program alongside coach Deschenes,” Donald said in a release. “The BCHL is widely recognized as one of the pre-mier junior ‘A’ leagues in North America, and I am excited to return to western Canada where I grew up and played myself.”
Donald opened the 2014-15 season as an assistant coach of the Woodstock Slammers in the Maritime Hockey League and took over head-coaching and assistant GM duties in February. The Slammers finished second in their division with an impres-sive 36-10-0-2 record, before being upset in the first round of the playoffs by the Miramichi Timberwolves.
While Donald’s coaching experience may be slight, the 28-year-old former defenceman has a seasoned pedigree as a player. Donald played two years in the Alberta Junior Hockey league before receiving a NCAA Div 1 scholarship with the Yale Bulldogs who he captained in his senior year and was all-academic team and ECAC champion in 2010.
After graduation, he went on to play four years in the AHL with Providence Bruins and Charlotte Checkers and ECHL’s Gwinnet Gladiators, where he gained experience coaching hockey while in his final season with the Gladiators.
“He’s a defenceman and we were looking for some-one with that knowledge,” said Deschenes. “Ryan’s coaching experience with the Woodstock Slammers, his playing experience in the AHL, ECHL, ECAC, championship experiences, and leadership qualities make him an extremely well qualified coach for the BCHL.”
The position also affords Donald the opportunity to move closer to home, but, more so, he is intent on improving the Smoke Eaters chances and realizing the opportunities of Smokie players.
“My goal is to help each player within the Smoke Eaters organization reach their individual goals, while also growing the footprint the Smoke Eaters have in the community and surrounding area,” said Donald.
The addition of Donald comes just days after the signing of highly-touted goaltender Bailey Macburnie, and former B.V. Nitehawk Kurt Black as the Smokies continue to improve the on-ice product during the off-season. And while Deschenes admits the Smokies may not have as many committed players to start this campaign, he thinks that may be a positive.
“We’re going to only have four commitments so far, but I feel like we should have about 10 players who will generate some interest. It’s a little bit differ-ent than last year, but I think having players come in hungry is really going to be a different on-ice product than players that already have their future set.”
According to Deschenes, Donald will be involved in all aspects of hockey operations working alongside assistant coaches Zanier and Clare to continue to grow and enhance the Smoke Eater’s program.
“It’s another small victory for Trail,” said Deschenes. “Adding someone of Ryan’s calibre is not an opportunity that presents itself often and we are fortunate he has chosen to be in Trail for the upcom-ing season.
“It speaks volumes of the Trail Smoke Eaters organization, as it remains a well recognized and respected brand in the hockey world, and also reflects positively on the BCHL reputation to not only draw top end hockey players, but coaches as well.”

Greater Trail soccer player Nolan DeRosa will join the Wolfpack in Kamloops, fol-lowing a commitment last week to attend Thompson River University and play for the Canada West CIS squad.
“It’s pretty exciting,” said DeRosa. “I’ve always want-ed to play at a university level of soccer, and as soon as Thompson River started looking at me, I really took it seriously and wanted to go there.”
DeRosa has trained with the Whitecaps FC Kootenay Academy (WFCKA) in Nelson for the past two years, and became one of its first suc-cess stories after committing to play for TRU.
“Nolan is the first of the domino affect I think,” said WFCKA coach Brett Adams. “We’re still hopeful that a few more players this season will get places. It’s our first year that we’ve actually tried to move players onto the university, and, like I said, Nolan’s probably the first that is going to have a few follow in his footsteps.”
The 17-year-old J.L. Crowe student attended TRU’s player ID camp April 11-12, where 35 players took to the manicured pitch at Hillside Stadium and were put through a gruel-ing weekend of practice and play. Although matched up against older players, DeRosa made an impression on Wolfpack soccer coach John Antulov during the camp, and the former Vancouver 86er extended the invitation for DeRosa to join the Pack.
“He very much reminds me of a younger Austin Scheebeli (Salmon Arm) when he got here three years ago,” said Antulov in a release. “It will take him time to adjust as he hasn’t played against these players on a consistent basis. I believe he has the ability and the work ethic to adjust quickly.”
In the annals of Trail sport, hockey, baseball, and fastball players routinely commit to CIS or NCAA universities,
but few soccer players have had that opportunity.
“It’s been kind of weird being the only kid grow-ing up whose been really competitive at soccer,” said DeRosa. “They (WFCKA) have been a huge help to me, and coach Brett Adams is the main reason why I’ve been improving and continuing to play at such a good level of soccer, and the reason why I’m able to go to Kamloops next year.”
The Whitecaps Academy expanded to the Kootenays in 2013, and, with its cen-tre in Nelson, attracted play-ers from around the West Kootenay including DeRosa and another Trail native Paige Gattafoni - a goaltend-er who was named to the All Star team at last month’s Whitecaps FC Showcase in Vancouver.
WFCKA identifies skilled players and takes their game to the next level, through camps, training combines, and tournaments throughout
the Kootenays, Okanagan, Vancouver, and Washington. The training, travel, and competing at higher levels has certainly paid dividends for players like DeRosa, and exposure to university recruiters will surely mean there will be more WFCKA players to follow.
“He’s very, very skillful, he’s quick, and he’s good with the ball at his feet,” said Adams. “He’s an excit-ing player to watch especially when he gets moving with that ball, we think something good is going to happen. That’s why he’s caught the eye of the TRU head coach.”
The Wolfpack play in the Canada West University Athletic Association’s Pacific Division against teams from UBC, UBC-Okanagan, University of Victoria, Trinity Western, UNBC, and University of Fraser Valley. DeRosa will join the team Aug. 1 with the Pack’s first game already scheduled for Aug. 20 against UNBC
Timberwolves.“Nolan will definitely
have to work and compete,” says Antulov. “My midfield group will be very strong for the upcoming season but I believe it will be great for him to learn from the play-ers that are here. His game will grow immensely. He is a central midfielder that is very versatile.”
While cracking the open-ing 11 may be a stretch in his first year with the Wolfpack, DeRosa is excited about the opportunity to elevate his game to the next level and embrace the new challenge.
“I’m looking forward to just getting the chance to play with kids that are at that level already and gaining experience from them,” he said. “Besides that, just train, and try to stay in the best shape as I can. You know it’s going to be a big jump to play at the CIS level.”
DeRosa will work towards a business degree while attending TRU.

oh-so accurate in assessing the Habs/Lightning series. Soon there will be no Canadian teams left in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
In the Monteal case, there is no offence to be count-ed on - it is always unlikely a team can win 1-0 four times in seven games and that is the pace upon which the Canadiens are rolling. Combine that with them attempting to coast into overtime and playing haphazard defence on the way to 0-3 in the series, and we, or most of us, will all soon need to pick an American team to support (I may go with the Washington Capitals) or move on to summer pursuits.
In the case of the Flames, despite their rising once more into the last-minute breach last game, it looks like the Ducks will be too big - their top line out-weighs the Flames’ top line by more than 100 pounds - and too talented for this year’s Calgary squad to overcome. They are exciting to watch (much more so than the Habs) so in case of a miracle advance it will be easy
to jump on the unlikely Alberta bandwagon.
The NDP just won a majority in an Alberta elec-tion, so stranger things (than a Calgary come-back) have already happened in that province.
•It is a hope-ful sign that the
Smoke Eaters are making moves that seem bound to improve the competitive abilities of the team, but I am still waiting for some confirmation it will continue to exist even in the near future.
It is unsettling, however, that there is not one Home of Champions native on the lengthy (13 strong) reserve list. Given that all but one of the five Trail kids on last season’s roster is likely to be moving on, the early indications for much of a local presence for the new season are not positive.
• Ball fans should plan to put aside a couple of June week-ends for watching the senior men play. It seems the diffi-culty of attracting teams to the area means most of the Orioles’ regular season will take place on the road. Nothing listed on the web site, still, but I am assured there will be at least those two, sometime-in-June, events.
Canadian team forecast not good for NHL playoffs

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SLOS ANGELES -
When it comes to cats, those meows mean ... well, a lot of things.
With each purr, yowl or even blink, felines are saying, “Hello,” ”Let’s snug-gle“ or ”Beat it, Mom.“ For the increasing number of pet owners who want to connect with their often-aloof fur babies, experts say there’s something to gain from those attempts at communi-cation.
Cats are very independent, and so they are easily mis-understood, says Dr. Gary Weitzman, presi-dent and CEO of the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA and author of the new National Geographic book “How to Speak Cat.”
He aims to unravel the mystery by help-ing people discern what cats are trying to convey.
Crafty kitties can make 16 different meow sounds and usually only unleash them when people are around, he said. Meows can be their way of saying feed me, pet me or let me out, and hardly ever get exchanged between cats.
That’s because cats learn they can get something desirable from people if they meow, said Dr. Bonnie
Beaver, executive dir-ector of the American College of Veterinary Behaviourists and a professor at Texas A&M University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. She also wrote the 2003 textbook “Feline Behavior.”
The meaning of a scratch or a hiss is pretty clear, but cats can talk in more subtle ways - with their eyes and tails. A slow blink from a feline, for example, is like a wink between friends, Weitzman said.
“Blinking is like a kitty kiss,” he said.
And extending their tails straight up equates to a human handshake, he said. A cat perks up that appendage as it approaches to show it’s happy to see you.
Susan McMinn, 55, of Tryon, North Carolina, was eager to try the slow-blink-
ing exercise with her Siamese cat, Jade, after reading the book.
“I sat and blinked slowly at my cat, and she blinked right
back. I know she loves me, of course, but now I feel I understand her communication even more,” McMinn said.
McMinn has owned Jade for 10 years and has had six cats over her lifetime, but she says it’s clear she still has a lot to learn.
“And I thought I was an expert!” she said.
Even ear and whis-ker movements signify something worth lis-tening to. If a cat’s ears are flat, don’t get close because it’s scared or facing a fight, Weitzman said.
A kitty is happy, calm or friendly when its whiskers are natur-
ally out to the side. Twice as thick as a human hair and root-ed three times as deep,
the whiskers guide them, help them with prey and show how they are feeling.

How risky are pesticides?Eighty five percent of
North Americans are con-cerned about
pesticides in fruit and vegetables.
The pesticide lev-els in some fruit and vegetables have been reduced in the last 20 years, but others have been in the high risk category for the past 20 years. Finding more than one pesticide residue on food is the rule not the exception. (Often there is a combination of pesticides that are found on foods.) Almost a third of North American produce has residues of two or more pesti-cides.
Studies link long term pesticide exposure to increased Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, prostate, ovar-ian and other cancers, depression and respiratory problems.
My experience is that most people, all over Canada have a high body burden of toxic metals. Since pesticides are metal based (arsenic),
they may be a contributing factor to total body burden of these toxic metals.
Many of these chem-icals have known car-cinogenic and hormone disrupting properties. Hormone disruptors can block or mimic the action of hormones. Because the chemicals affect hormone status, they could cause reproductive disorders, birth defects, breast, and
prostate and other hormone related cancers.
Children are especially at risk, with an increased risk of develop-ing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and lowered IQ.
Whenever possible choose organic foods. It’s good for the environment and your health!

Dear Annie: I am 17 years old. I have a job that requires I work only a few times a month, and the staff can trade shifts if they choose. I have been at this job for two years, and I enjoy it.
During my first year here, I was taken advantage of quite a lot. People would constantly ask me to change shifts, but I would later find out they had nothing par-ticular going on to require it. I learned how to say no, because I don’t really trust some of them. I agree to change shifts with people who ask me in advance or tell me what’s going on, but have become wary of those who ask at the last minute.
The problem is my mother. She always makes me feel as though I’m not behaving properly. When I’m asked to switch shifts for no good reason, she says, “Why didn’t you say yes? You’re supposed to say yes.” I then get a lec-ture on how I need to be more responsible and more understanding when peo-ple have other things to do with their time.
I know that most peo-
ple’s intentions are good, but I don’t want to be taken advantage of. Why doesn’t my mother think I’m good enough? I don’t drink, I go to church, I obey my parents, and I’m in the National Honor Society. People say my mother is lucky to have a daughter like me, but I don’t feel that from her.
I don’t mean to sound conceited, but I’m starting to get tired of always being good. I’m scared I may just stop trying. -- Not Good Enough
Dear Not Good: Everyone needs to feel that their efforts are appreciated, and kids especially need to know that their parents believe them to be good people. We think your mother knows this, but she worries. She
doesn’t want you to alienate the people you work with, but you are right to set boundaries for yourself (as long as you are polite about it). It engenders respect.
But please don’t use your mother’s fretting as an excuse to go off the rails. Talk to her. Reassure her that you are not expected to say “yes” to every request. Let her know that she has done a great job raising you and now must allow you to make your own decisions and live with the conse-quences, so you can learn to be the responsible adult she expects. Enlist her sup-port and cooperation. Ask for her advice. It will make her happy to know you still value it.
Dear Annie: This is in response to the “horror stories” that women tell pregnant mothers-to-be. As an obstetrician (retired), with over 5,000 babies delivered, here is what I call Dr. Elfmont’s Rule of Pregnancy:
Never listen to what peo-ple (your mother, grand-mother, aunts, etc.) tell you about their pregnancies -- you’re too big or too small
for your due date; you’re carrying high (or low) and that means it’s a boy (or a girl); you’ve gained too much or too little weight; they were in terrible labor for 197 hours, etc.
I told my patients that nobody in the history of human civilization had ever given birth to the partic-
ular baby they were car-rying, that the odds were overwhelming for a normal labor and delivery, and if there were any problems, I’d be there to take care of them. -- Dr. John Elfmont in Redondo Beach, Calif.
Dear Dr. Elfmont: Well said. Thank you for the reassuring words.

For Saturday, May 9, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Avoid making important decisions today, because your thinking is a bit fuzzy. And if not fuzzy, you might be forced to work with false information. Same thing. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Important decisions regarding finances and cash flow should be avoided, because someone might deceive you today. At best, the information you have is not correct. Guard against extravagance! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Mercury is in your sign right now, but today it is at odds with fuzzy Neptune. This can cause your think-ing to be fuzzy as well. Don’t worry if you spend a lot of time daydreaming in a fan-tasy world. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Things are a bit confus-
ing, which is why this is a poor day to make important decisions. You might dis-cover secrets, but you might misinterpret what these secrets mean. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) In discussions with others today, especially in groups, a misunderstanding might arise. Take note: If you think something fishy is going on, it is. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a poor day to vol-unteer for anything impor-tant or to agree to anything when talking to bosses, par-ents and authority figures. You might not have the correct picture of what is expected of you. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Because your apprecia-tion of beauty is heightened today, you will enjoy art galleries, museums, parks and beautiful architectural buildings. Grab an opportu-nity to do this.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Discussions about shared property, taxes, debt and the wealth of others should be postponed today. Someone is feeding you a line or hid-ing something from you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Misunderstanding with partners and close friends are likely today: Fortunately, they might be minor. Don’t jump to conclusions until
you know your facts are cor-rect. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might want to help a co-worker today. If so, get all the facts, in case some-one is playing you for a chump. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be careful with your children today, because they might be tempted to explore poisonous liquids or some-
thing related to gas and oil. Remove your kids from all possible hazards. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Family discussions will be circular and confusing today. If you think some-one is being dishonest, this could be the case. You will enjoy privacy at home. YOU BORN TODAY Justice and fair play are important to you. This is why you often take the side
of the underdog. You love beauty in all forms, espe-cially pristine nature. This is a testing year of growth and building. This growth will occur beneath the surface. Do not make major changes yet, wait until next year. Strengthen your financial position by reducing your overhead. Birthdate of: Grace Gummer, actress; John Corbett, actor; Wendy Crewson, actress.

What happens when a dozen community-minded, positive people get together and exchange ideas – incrEDIBLE-trail. As we enter our second year,
we invite the community to join us in realizing our dreams. We wanted to promote the local businesses, agriculture and the people who call Trail home. We wanted to address the needs of Trail. We wanted to inspire change.
As the tired, but too true, saying goes, "Don't expect different results if you keep doing the same thing." Per our mission statement, we are nurtur-ing community by planting seeds to inspire local sustainability through food initiatives. We take every opportunity to educate the public about the benefits of locally grown, sustainable food.
Last year we started by encouraging downtown businesses and organizations to raise a container of food and make it available to anyone who wants the produce.
This year we will add large planters by the bus stop on Rossland Avenue specifically for the food banks. Funding for this project has been partly by donations from individuals and businesses. Anyone can still donate to sponsor a planter. Kate's Kitchen alone makes 650 meals per month
and the Anglican Church and United Church give food to approximately 200 people per week. By installing these planters, incrEDIBLE trail hopes to improve nutrition and engage the recipients to assist in growing the food. When the colourful planters arrive, we are planning a "garden party" and all are invited. This event promises to be fun for all.
Because this bus stop serves the children head-ing to Webster School, an opportunity exists to educate the youngsters about growing vegetables and about community service and charity. It seems that every seed we plant grows much more good than we could have anticipated. You might see people-sized vegetables at the location teach-ing Trail's finest all about planting and growing, sharing and caring. It is never too early to foster a good citizen.
The experience of working with incrEDIBLE trail has been rich in many ways. If you would like to give back to the community that nur-tured you, consider participating in this group or Communities in Bloom.
Any age and any experience has something to offer. Check us out on Facebook as incrEDIBLE trail or email us at [email protected] for persons or businesses that would like to sponsor a planter, please call Keystone Appraisals and ask for Gina.
Connie Smith is an avid gardener who enjoys participating in incrEDIBLE trail and Communities in Bloom.

t h e A S S o C i A t e D P R e S SWell-managed turf care
means more than simply firing up your lawn mower and buzz-ing around the yard.
There’s cutting at the right height, irrigating with the correct amount of water and fertilizing at the appropriate time, among other things.
Some tips for avoiding the most common lawn-care mis-takes:
- Don’t cut too short. Take only a third of an inch off the top. “Shorter clippings break down more easily, allowing some of the natural nitrogen to return to the soil. If you cut too much at a time, the long clippings can cause stress on the grass,” Schmidt said.
- Aerate, which is a matter of removing plugs of soil and thatch. “It encourages deep rooting; improves water, air and nutrient penetration; and promotes growth of healthy
organisms,” Schmidt said.- Don’t ignore your equip-
ment. Keep mower blades sharp and balanced.
- Avoid mowing in the same direction all the time to pre-vent matting down the turf and inhibiting growth.
- Fertilize in the fall in you live in northern climes. That gives grass an early push after the snow melts in the spring. Apply fertilizer before the rains come if you live in the South. Avoid high-nitro-gen products no matter where your location.
- Irrigate frequently but not too heavily each time, said Alec Kowalewski, a professor and turf specialist at Oregon State University. “Turn your water on after Memorial Day,” he said. Set the timer “for three times a week at a quar-ter of an inch each time. As it heats up, increase the number of days you irrigate.”

2015 F-150 AWARDED CANADIAN TRUCK
OF THE YEAR
REgionalB y T r e v o r C r a w l e y
Cranbrook TownsmanThe answer to the question of
what to do with the empty space at the former Target location in the Tamarack Centre has been answered.
Canadian Tire Corp. says it has signed a deal to buy 12 real
estate leases in former Target locations across the country, one of which is in Cranbrook.
The deal is reportedly worth $17.7 million for all 12 leases once the deal is approved.
The former Target building has been empty since Canadian operations officially closed down
in earlier this year.Cranbrook Mayor Lee Pratt
welcomes the news.A year ago, Cranbrook city
council approved the develop-ment of a new Canadian Tire store on the north side of the city.
The applicant proposed a 6,668
sq. metres commercial retail building, which will include a retail floor area, mezzanine areas for office and warehouse space, an auto service centre and a 929 sq. metre outdoor garden centre.
The status of that project is currently up in the air with Wednesday’s announcement.
