Trail’ Creek (Trail) 1896’s first street, Rossland Avenue

in the historic Gulch featured during COVID-19 around

the world.

By Casey LeMoel,
Neighbourhood Publisher/Reporter

 

When COVID-19 was at its worst in 2021/2022, everyone was inside, protecting themselves from a virus that spread in the airOur international borders were closed for the first time in history, and everything else was closed.

In Trail BC, the streets were empty. Trail includes the historic Gulch, and no one was around. The Gulch was a ghost town like many cities worldwide were at that time.

 

The fear was genuine at that time for most people. Before this time, humans watched movies with viruses that could spread in the air.

During this time, an experienced photographer, and writer made the  

trip towards the historic Gulch in Trail, BC. The Gulch includes Trail Creek, now Trail's first street created by Trail’s first Mayor, Colonel Topping. The Gulch and Rossland Avenue have become famous for their history.

This history includes The Trail Creek Mining District of 1896. This district was the largest gold mine claim on Earth in 1898!

Later, Italian Settlers worked and lived on this famous area and street. I am lucky enough to own one of the six first original buildings in the Gulch.

The article "Alone in the Gulch" was written and photographed by Chris Doering, and published on August 2, 2022; this article is on his website, bigdoer.com, under "Off the Beaten Past with Chris and Connie – Est.2012.

 

This story shows the historic Gulch in a new and exciting way that the Gulch has never

been featured ever before. This features thhistoric history of the Gulch and modern times

in the twenty-century Gulch.

 

This story features the main strip of Rossland

Avenue, in the Gulch. All the buildings and

The businesses, including my store "The Gul-

ch General Store".

 

I was not interviewed.

Provided online or on location based on what

location.

 

I wanted to thank you publicly, Chris and Connie

For the great story, they wrote featuring the

Gulch and the many businesses, including mine. 

Impaired school bus driver arrested with children aboard: RCMP

Diego Romero Digital Journalist

Published Tuesday, December 17, 2019 12:42PM MST Last Updated Tuesday, December 17, 2019 4:27PM MST

EDMONTON -- A school bus driver from Spruce Grove has been arrested after school staff noticed she was drunk behind the wheel as students were getting on board, RCMP said.

Mounties responded to Graminia School, a K-9 in Spruce Grove, on Monday at 3:11 p.m. after staff noticed one bus driver was impaired.

Charges are pending against the 46-year-old female driver, who was suspected of being drunk, RCMP told CTV News Edmonton.

Golden Arrow told CTV News the driver, who had been hired in September, has been fired.

It's unclear how many students were on board and how old they are, but the Parkland School Division said no one was injured.

"A situation where an individual would put students and others in potential danger is intolerable," superintendent Shauna Boyce said.

Students had to wait for a replacement driver and were late getting home, Boyce added.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Parkland RCMP at 825-220-7267 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Interaction with a stranger

Busy time of the year and while I was setup at one local craft faire I encountered a very special person.

I make a point of smiling at the people as they come by my table. Smiling is a form of communication saying more than what we even realize.

A young woman came back to my table after she passed by. Her eyes were full of emotion. She went on to tell me she had just passed my table and I smiled at her. She added I made her feel so special and welcome.

As she walked away she told me never to stop smiling.

A lesson in the big book of life.

Halloween News: ONLINE & PRINT EDITIONS! The Meaning of Halloween

The word Halloween or Hallowe'en dates to about 1745 and is of Christian origin. The word "Hallowe'en" means "Saints' evening". It comes from a Scottish term for All Hallows' Eve (the evening before All Hallows' Day).

Children of all ages dress up in costumes and travel from house to house to receive treats in response to their call of “trick or treat!" The phrase is a subtle suggestion that if a treat (like candy) is given, then the child will not perform a “trick" (mischief) on the owner of the house.
