NEW ART ROLLS INTO ROSSLAND

In a recent letter sent to the Rossland News, ex-councillor and mayoral candidate Jill Spearn slammed city council — in particular Mayor Kathy Moore — over the recent events with city employees Tracey Butler and Darrin Albo.

Butler was previously the city’s deputy chief admin-istrative o� cer and Albo was, and still is, employed

as manager of operations.Spearn wrote she is concerned with the way the

situation was handled and outraged that two mem-bers of city sta� have been dismissed. However, only Butler has le� city employment. Albo is currently on stress leave as he felt his work load was too much and he was doing other jobs he believed should not be in his job description.

Council is currently ironing out the details and Moore wrote in her own letter and response, “Council

immediately started negotiating a new contract with Mr. Albo when he made it clear he did not want to work under the terms of his existing contract but also did not want to leave. Based on his input, we have designed a job that plays to his strengths and takes a lot of the stress out of his position. He is a valued member of the team and will be with the city for many years to come. � e agreement is fair for everyone.”

NewsPublic engagement period sees a large turnoutInfrastructure and senior staffing are top priorities

A great turnout of over 60 engaged citi-zens of Rossland came out to the Miners’ Hall on Sunday to take part in another Thoughtexchange exercise to help steer council in the right direction. To everyone’s delight, every councillor was also present to hear the people’s voices.

Although the results were good and the input was great, according to Mayor Kathy Moore, she and council would have invited more criticism.

“We’re a new council and we came in with a strong mandate from the public. The honeymoon is still going on. It’s too bad more of the negative crowd are not here,” she said.

The evening opened with a fantastic ice breaker exercise that had attendees write down their thoughts and concerns then discuss them with any one person in the room. Partners were switched a few times until the organizer, Dave MacLeod asked those in the crowd to voice their opinions.

Vocal members spoke up on issues concerning taxes being high enough, the hope that council take a good look into the future, not just the now, and that unique community outlets still receive attention. Things such as arts projects, recreation and “things that just make Rossland, Rossland.”

Once the first round of public interac-tion was completed, Mayor Kathy Moore took to the stage to give a presentation on the decisions made after the last public engagement period.

The last Thoughtexchange found that the public had a tolerance for a 10 per cent tax increase at most. A main concern among the group was that too much of a tax in-crease would make Rossland unaffordable.

The city decided to increase taxes by two per cent this year and is aware that

water and sewer rates will need to rise in the coming years.

“It’s really important to this council that before we go off and increase taxes we re-ally make sure we’ve done everything we can to ensure government is efficient and cost-effective,” Moore said. “Before we put out a big tax increase, we wanted to make sure we made some savings on our level. Make our house tidy first.”

Right now, not too much money is being poured into projects as the city is attempt-ing to save some funds for projects next year, including the Washington St. project.

This project is nearly identical to the work down on Columbia Ave., just on Washington.

“This year is more of a building up and preparation year,” Moore said.

The city also made the decision to cut overall community funding by six per cent and made several detailed changes with certain groups.

Next up in the mayor’s presentation was an addressal of the infrastructure deficit.

“This is a big thing for us,” explained Moore, “like any municipality in North America, we all have an infrastructure deficit; we’ve not kept up with keeping the infrastructure running and operating as well as it should.”

She said part of this is because it’s near impossible for a small town like Rossland to put in as much money as you need to keep up.

“In a city as old as ours it’s easy to find things to throw money at. It’s just a matter of prioritizing these projects.”

Mayor Moore mentioned in her presen-tation that senior staff positions are in dire need of being filled and the city is dedicated to doing so as quickly as possible. They are in the process of looking over salaries and contracts.

In conclusion, Moore said, “ We got here

the same way as most Canadian cities — through benign neglect. Infrastructure isn’t the sexy stuff, it’s not fun but it has too be done. Many municipalities have under-invested in their infrastructure and we’re no different.”

Another round of mingling and dis-cussing went on before councillor Andrew Zwicker took over on the mic to deliver another short presentation centered on future plans and asset management.

Zwicker’s presentation came back around to the Washington Street project along with Spokane Street, which will be receiving a similar treatment as well.

The councillor explained that if a rupture were to happen to the pipes under Wash-ington, 80 per cent of Rossland’s water flow would be affected, with Trail and Warfield feeling the blow too. The infrastructure under the pavement is 60 to 100 years old and it’s difficult to get a clear view of what may be going on underground.

Zwicker explained this is where the city’s asset management planning comes in.

City staff has been working on a way to prioritize what gets fixed and when.

“This is what it comes down to,” he said, “asset management 101. We have a lot of things here in the city that are old, ready to fall apart, we need to have a plan in place where we’re strategically prioritizing them and working our way through them in a logical manner.”

Currently, the City of Rossland has a backlog of infrastructure upgrades in need of attention, totaling close to $18 million. With less than $4 million coming in each year off the tax role it is easy to see why this problem can’t be addressed all at once.

In closing, councillor Zwicker said with continued public input and engagement, council believes that resolutions can be found that don’t disservice the taxpayers and residents.

It is with a heavy heart we announce that our beloved

friend, father, mentor and husband, Henry Yorke Mann

has passed away. He was surrounded by family and friends in his home and after a brief illness, died in Oliver, BC at the age of 84. Henry will be lovingly remembered byhis newlywed partner of 20 years, wife Denise, his stepsons Eric Hillmer-Mann (Nancy) and Kym Franklin, and stepdaughters � eresa Slater and Cindy Bahm. Further, he will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren Sarah and Colin Hillmer, and Payden Siemens, as well as, his brothers Richie (Audrey) and David (Susan) and nieces & nephews.

Henry was born and raised in Rossland, BC. He received an athletic ski scholarship from Washington State University and raced competitively. Henry was training to qualify for the 1952 Olympic Winter Games; regrettably, an athletic injury removed him from the competition. Henry transferred to the University of Oregon in 1952, graduating with a Bachelor of Architecture in 1954.

In the years from 1955 to 1970 Henry worked as an architect in Vancouver, � rst with Mercer & Mercer Architects, and then on his own in 1963. In 1970, Henry left architecture to take a new direction with his then wife Elizabeth and stepson Eric. � ey developed a homestead in the Upper Squamish River Valley.

By 1972, Henry sought to move his cattle business to more land and a dryer climate. � is resulted in the purchase of McCuddy Creek Ranch on McKinney Road near Oliver, BC. � e purebred herd known as Mann Polled Charolais became nationally well known for the quality performance tested cattle. In 1995, Henry planned his return to architecture and in 1997 sold the herd and the ranch property with the exception of his residence.

Henry’s home the Manndala was built on the ranch in 1993, and is quintessential to Henry’s design philosophy; a melding of the spiritual and the physical functions in structural integrity, and sustainability, using natural materials, and respecting the essence of the client and the site. Henry has an extensive national exhibition catalogue, and endless image and prestigious article publications.

Henry continued his hand drawn practice of sacred architecture through to the last month of his 84th year. At his side, his wife Denise was an acting con� dante, cook and dance partner. It will always be a pleasure to recall this generous spirit in a cowboy hat, with a Porsche and a penchant for blues music.

Join us to Celebrate the Life of Henry Yorke Mann, Sunday, April 26, 11:00am - 3:00pm at their home, 222 Old Camp McKinney Road Oliver, BC. We invite and encourage anyone to share a few short words, a prayer or a song. Hor d’oeuvers, wine or other refreshment would be appreciated.

A special thank you to Dr. Myslek and the Interior Health Palliative Care Nursing team for their loving support. Also, thank you to Nunes-Pottinger Funeral Service for their service and guidance. Memorial contributions may be sent to Desert Valley Hospice Society, PO Box 1261, Oliver, BC, V0H 1T0 or online at https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/desert-valleyhospice-society/

NewsMayor Moore attempts to clear the air• Continued from page 1

In Butler’s case, things unfor-tunately did not go so well and it seems some misunderstandings were present, she said.

Spearn wrote in her letter what she believed to be the process that led to Butler leaving.

“Both she and Mr. Albo were asked to meet with the mayor ... March 9, to discuss ‘something’. Mayor Moore then proceeded to give the same letter to both managers which clearly uses the word ‘termination’.”

Spearn continued to write that Butler was entitled to work for two more years under her cur-rent contract with no additional cost to the taxpayer and that now residents are left to pay out nearly $200,000 in the wake of her con-tract termination and subsequent payout.

“The council could have let her contract expire,” Spearn wrote, “and saved that large amount of money. Ms. Butler seized an op-portunity to negotiate a pay out and now we’ll all pay, when it was unnecessary. Is this good stew-ardship of our taxpayers money?”

While it is true that a large payout has been confirmed, Moore said no letters were given to the employees and it was more of a friendly heads-up that was taken the wrong way.

In Moore’s rebuttal, she ex-plained, “I showed both employ-ees a draft letter but clearly told them that council had not yet approved it; it wasn’t signed, it wasn’t on letterhead and it had a future date on it. It was, how-ever, council’s intent to change the contracts.”

The contracts were in dire need of change, council agreed, as part of their attempt to clean up and reorganize the messy situ-ation at city hall.

Moore continued, “Ms. Butler quit rather than work under the terms of her contract. That was her prerogative. Technically, the city was not obligated to pay her anything. In honor of her years of dedicated service, council gave her a generous payout.

“No one was fired. Both em-ployees had the option to con-tinue to work under the generous terms of their existing contracts for two years; then council would be free to renegotiate better con-tracts for the benefit of the com-munity.”

Spearn then asked why anoth-er councillor wasn’t present at the meeting in additino to Moore.

At Monday night’s council meeting, Moore stated the inten-tion was to have another council member present but he wasn’t available at the time.

“Ms. Spearn states that I act-

ed without council’s approval or foreknowledge. Council had innumerable meetings to dis-cuss this labour issue and other challenges arising from contracts entered into by the previous council. I acted with council’s full knowledge and endorsement. As a courtesy, and in the spirit of “no surprises,” I asked to meet with both employees to discuss an item on the upcoming agenda.”

Also at open council, coun-cillor Aaron Cosbey admitted, “We were stupid for not seeing [Butler’s reaction].” He was refer-ring to her decision to leave upon hearing of the contract renego-tiation. Council believes Butler took it as a sort of termination and was not comfortable. This was not their intention, he said.

“This council is dealing with a number of residual issues and complicated contracts approved by the last council,” Moore add-ed. “That is the case whenever a new group takes over. It was clear from the election results that the community supported a new ap-proach. While we appreciate that change is hard, council is taking action.”

Moore said she’s not upset by Spearn’s letter, but asks her or anyone else with questions aboutcouncil’s operations to contact and discuss it with them directly.

The entire process of the public engagement was rather creative, getting everyone involved and even having some fun in the meantime. Photo by Chris Stedile

EnCompass Bene� ts delegation:At Monday night’s council meeting, ,

Terri Eriksen and Carrie Omande, repre-sentatives of EnCompass Bene� ts — the second-largest BC insurance broker outside of Vancouver — spoke in regards to several options that could save the city a substantial amount of money.

� e city has been looking at switching their insurance scheme in an attempt to lower overall costs and if all goes according to plan, the city could see savings in the range of $45,000 to $50,000.

Two options presented by EnCompass were to implement a group bene� ts plan with Great West Life or appoint EnCompass to take their � ndings and negotiate with Sun Life Financial.

Council was pleased with what they heard and will be voting on which direc-tion they would like to take at a later date.

Grant funding requests:� e decision to apply for $2 million in

grant funding to assist in the Washington St. project carried unanimously.

If this amount is granted, the city would be paying $2.8 million out of its own co� ers.

Council discussed whether asking for 75 per cent funding would be better, but ultimately decided that was too much.

Mayor and council chose to apply for $1 million in additional funding so the Spokane St. project could also be a reality. � e vote was unanimous.

Additional approvals:A motion to support Golden Bear

Daycare Centre landscaping project by providing written consent was carried unanimously.

Also carried with full support was a motion to approve a development permit application for 1492A Kootenay Ave., sub-ject to conditions listed by the Planner to protect the riparian area along Trail Creek.

Furthermore, council will allocate some funds to assist Rossland girls wishing to play so� ball in Trail. � e city’s policy on funding for the Trail residency program will be discussed at a later date.

In an attempt to further alleviate sta� work load, Joanne Drystek is to be des-ignated as the city’s contact person with

the BC Heritage Registry. Planner Stacy Lightbourne will then be relieved of this burden.

To assist in the dissolution of Rossland’s Chamber of Commerce, council has chosen to release the remaining funds previously granted to them.

Councillor Marten Kruysse said Trail has a new chamber president and that merger discussions have been delayed until further notice.

Lastly, council agreed that the museum will be granted 25 per cent of their funding early, due to the museum currently running out of funds.

Bylaws:A motion that zoning amendment by-

law 2581 for 3975 Red Mountain Road be adopted carried unanimously.

A motion that zoning amendment bylaw 2582 for 1678 � ird Ave. be adopted was carried unanimously.

Earth Day 2015:� is year’s Earth Day event will be held

at Harry LeFevre Square on April 18, from 1 to 3 p.m., with music and kids’ events.

OUR VIEW

� e new council and mayor of Rossland are doing a fantastic job sticking to their guns and listening to everything the public has to say.

It is great to see this group stepping for-ward and inviting the public to brainstorming events and council meetings, especially in light of all the things going on. From aging infrastructure leading to tax increases to in-house troubles with sta� and the like it could possibly be easier for council to go about things a little quieter but they were voted in on an assumption of change and engagement and so far there have been no let-downs there.

Not only do these city o� cials deserve recognition for their tireless work — some work separate jobs while still putting in 30-plus hours in for the city — but the public is greatly in need of some congratulation too.

At last week’s � oughtexchange, a surpris-ing number of people turned up to express their opinions. � is was quite shocking as usually when it comes time for budget dis-cussion one can hear a pin drop in the room. Bravo Rosslanders.

Even mayoral candidate and ex-councillor Jill Spearn’s letter to council and subsequent appearance at the last meeting deserves some degree of praise. Her intentions were not ill-willed but only those of a concerned citizen wishing the best for her city and the ones she worked so closely with and grew to know over her years on council.

Perhaps situations akin to Spearn’s can be avoided in the future if mayor and coun-cil continue their open and welcoming ap-proach. As time goes on and more issues are addressed, it would be great to see council continue on their path of openness and en-gagement.

All municipalities could learn to gain something by taking a look at Rossland’s fresh council mandate.

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

As part three of her eight-part series of acts of activism, Kristen Renn created art just across the street from Ferraro’s. Her message was to raise awareness for artists and the way we perceive them. Renn said that people seem to take them for granted, “Oh they’re doing what they love,” or, “Hey do this work for my project and you’ll get some exposure.” She was hoping to make passersby see artists and their art in a new light.

Two separate developments in Rossland have emerged out of Castlegar’s Sculpturewalk.

� e � rst is a local favourite, Rusty, hoping to make Rossland its permanent home. Second, a new addition has made its debut just a few paces away.

Rusty has been earning his oats for over a year now, becoming a favourite backdrop for photos with kids of all ages. Rusty brings a smile to locals and visitors alike and gives all in Rossland a reason to slow down during their busy day. He quietly rea� rms the message that Rossland is a town connected to nature. But our four-legged friend is also a great reminder of the role that horses played in the early days of this mining community.

Edgar Dewdney mapped the � rst trans-Canada route through the Rossland Range in 1865. Prospec-tors with their pack horses traveled the 720 kilometer Dewdney Trail between Fort Hope and Fort Steele in the East Kootenay in search of gold. � e � rst claims staked on the slopes of Red Mountain happened in 1890. � e news ran like wild� re and in a few short months the gold rush was on and prospectors made the two-week trek on horseback from Fort Hope to Rossland in-search of gold.

Horses were the primary means of hauling materials and supplies along the wagon road between the growing townsite of Rossland and

Trail Creek Landing in those early years. � e � rst shipment of Ross-land ore was delivered to Trail by horse-drawn cart in 1895.

� is month, the Rossland Coun-cil for Arts and Culture is hoping to raise $3,000 by the end of April to buy Rusty outright from Nelson artist Cedar Mueller, who will sell the sculpture for $8,000. � e arts council will contribute $5,000 of this from funds held in reserve for public sculpture projects.

It only requires 100 fans of Rusty and public art to donate $30 each to reach the council’s target. Major

donations of $500 or more will be acknowledged on a plaque that will be erected in front of the sculpture.

Keeping in touch with Rossland’s spirit, the newest addition is a large sphere of re-purposed bicycle parts.

� e Sphere of In� uence was installed on Friday and attracted several passersby to come and see what all the commotion was about.

Created by Winlaw artist Carl Schlichting, the sculpture will re-main between Laundry Dog and Revolution Cycles for the following year as part of the Rossland’s public art program.

Live roller derby in Trail on Saturday nightWest Kootenay Roller

Derby rolls into the Trail arena this Saturday.

The action starts at 5 p.m. when the home team, the Rossland Trail Roller Girls, takes on Cas-tlegar’s Dam City Rollers. The Dams are coming in hot after defeating their competition last season.

But the Nelson Kill-joys reminded them last month that it’s anyone’s game when they out-played Castlegar in the first double-header of season six.

“It’s a new purple team this year,” says Dams’ skater and founding team member Kristina

Kruchkowski (aka Kitty Karnage). “We still have lots of familiar faces on the bench but have gained some new sisters this season, both of the fresh variety and from the [dis-solved] Valley Brutality.”

The Roller Girls are shaping up to be a real contender with the re-turn of a couple all-star players and some new talent. The Red Army is looking to entertain its hometown crowd, ac-cording to skater Ashley McKenzie (ASH), and that may come at a price for the Dams.

“I feel like we are no longer the underdog and

now are a team to be afraid of,” she admits.

The SPCA is hosting a half-time show that could result in the adoption of a few animals. But the oohs and ahhs will likely amplify when the animals exit the track to make room for the second bout of the night.

The Killjoys are refo-cusing their game for a new competitor after the league’s Valley Brutality folded due to a low roster.

The Spokannibals are traveling from Spokane to battle it out with old friends, some of which they played when they went head to head with

the league travel team, the Kootenay Kannibelles.

“We are very excited to be playing them — they rank very close in stats to us so it should be a very evenly matched game,” said Nelson’s Danielle

McGrath (McWrath). Doors open at 4 p.m.,

with the first game at 5 p.m. and the second at 7 p.m. Follow the derby girls to the Roller Girls’ clubhouse, the Arlington Bar and Grill, post double

header for a pint and an autograph.

Tickets are $10 in ad-vance at the Arlington Bar and Grill and Maglio Building Centre in Trail, The Flying Steamshovel in Rossland or online at

brownpapertickets.com. The remaining tickets will be for sale at the door for $15.

For more information, visit kootenayrollerder-by.com or check out the league’s Facebook page.

On March 16th Anne-Louise van den Neuwenhof passed away suddenly at the age of 31. My son Ryan Kelly lost his partner and mother of their two children Emerson and Beth.

On behalf of the Kelly family I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt appreciation and thank you to the people of Rossland, Trail and surrounding communities for their support and comfort during this difficult time for Ryan, Emerson and Beth. The outpour of support, condolences and donations was overwhelming. Having come from a small community I have seen support during a time of need but never have I experienced the expanse of generosity as seen in your community. You are all truly blessed to live in such an area where people pull together and help each other in difficult times.

To all of the friends, businesses, community groups and people of the Rossland, Trail and area my thank you for your kindness and generosity to my son and grandchildren during this difficult time. I would especially like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of the Trail hospital who worked so valiantly to try and help Lou, your effort is so appreciated.

Sincerely, Richard Kelly

Redstone opens early this year

Sports

Redstone Resort, where every hole is a photograph, opened early this year on Wednesday — nearly two weeks be-fore opening day in previous years. � e course is open and ready for use.

Normally most fairways at the Rossland golf resort would be covered in snow this time of year, but what is bad news for the ski hill is good news for golf enthusiasts.

An early season isn’t the only news for Redstone, however. Golf profes-sional Edwin MacDonald will be tak-ing over operations at the pro shop as well as organizing tournaments, lessons and much more.

Manager/owner Carry Fisher is ex-cited to get a lot more use out of the event section that was created some time ago. “We built it two years ago and ran a few events as a sort of trial

last year,” he said.� ings went well enough that they

decide to make it a permanent addi-tion. Fisher said he is certain it will see a lot of use and people have already been inquiring.

� e area features a 30x40 foot tent, kitchen/wash area and pizza oven.

“It’s pretty unique. Especially in the summer. You can have a band set up under the gazebo while people dance or eat or have their retirement party. It’s very private and there’s not really anything like it in the area.”

Further down the road in June, the folks at Redstone will be hosting a men’s open tournament, something that has been missing from the resort for several years.

Topping o� the improvements at Redstone this season is a new kitchen sta� that will also be providing “some-thing a little di� erent” on Fridays and Saturdays.


New golf pro, kitchen staff and tournaments lined up for this season

This fairway at Redstone was covered in snow this time last year.
