The funds in the sun Annual fundraiser for cancer research raises over $50,000 in 12 hours at a local event BY DANIELLE CLARKE Times Correspondent

Blues skies supported participants’ spirits at this year’s Relay for Life. The 12-hour event on Saturday in Warfield’s Haley Park was jam packed with entertainment, raising awareness and funds to help fight cancer, as 23 teams pulled together for a total of $56,881. It was a “fantastic turnout and awesome weather,” said Suzzane Belanger, Relay’s volunteer event chair. The balmy weather pattern created a positive stir for the opening ceremonies, with Nina Amelio singing O Canada to start the day’s festivities. That was followed by an aerobic warm up as well as a Zumba class, paving the way for a motivating Survivor Victory Lap honouring several cancer survivors. Throughout the day various vocalists and performers took the stage set up in the park and provided an entertaining musical score. For children there were plenty of organized activities, arts and crafts located at the Kid’s Zone. In the afternoon there were hair cutting donations as well as a relaxation station run by Jane Theriaelt.

The bear-necessities of Trail Your bear friend’s back and there’s going to be trouble unless you keep clean BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff

Clean up the barbeque, take down the bird feeders, store garbage securely, bring the dog food inside and put away picnic baskets: it’s bear season. Local conservation officers have already received several calls about bear sightings in Greater Trail this season. “The bears are coming out of the den and since the snow melted pretty fast this year, I’d say they’re all out and about,” said Bear Aware community coordinator Sharon Wieder. Somebody spotted a mom and two cubs in Glenmerry about a month ago and there have been reports of garbage being strewn about in West Trail. “That’s usually a result of bears getting into people’s garbage,” she said.

LOCAL B.C. Ambassador program beckons Henniger BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff

The grueling seven-month program for Trail Ambassador changed her life, and three years later the royal calling beckons Carley Henniger once again. The Trail Princess from 2009 is back in the running for royal assent in the 2012 B.C. Ambassador Program in Merritt this August. Miss Trail dramatically altered her life in a positive way, said Henniger, and she expected no-less with the provincial competition. “(Miss Trail) definitely gave me self confidence and taught me the value of hard work, and what it means to be in a community,” she said. “So I definitely wanted to be able to mentor the other ambassadors and represent Trail by showing the province what Trail has to offer.” In order to run for B.C. Ambassador, candidates have to have been ambassadors in their hometowns already, said 20-year-old Henniger. “There’s 14 candidates this year, and everybody I’m running against has already been an ambassador in their hometown.” The B.C. program encourages candidates to run their own campaigns in their hometowns, and many of them focus on preparing speeches and talents for the competition in Merritt. “It’s all pretty much self-motivated,” she said. “We do presentations for the judges and the community of Merritt, and I can explain to them why Trail is a nice place to be— and why I’m choosing to represent the (community).” Henniger is currently halfway through a degree at UNBC where she’s actively pursuing a double major in political science and international studies, which ties perfectly into the mandate of the program. The aim of the B.C. Ambassador competition is to nurture provincial leaders of the future, promote and assist

In an attempt to conserve water, the City of Trail Waterworks bylaw will change the rules for water usage this summer. Between June 1 and Sept. 30, all homeowners and businesses will be required to reduce their water consumption. That means lawn watering will only be allowed between 6-10 a.m. or 6-10 p.m. if you’re using a garden hose and sprinkler head. Automatic sprinkler systems must be used with no more than 30 minutes in each zone. Buildings located with odd numbered addresses are asked to water their lawns on odd numbered days, and vice versa for even numbered addresses on even days. Using a nozzle or hose is allowed for hand watering gardens and flower beds anytime of the day.

FROM PAGE 1 Bears are curious and determined, Wieder added, and a lot of people don’t realize that they’re drawn to smells of pet food and such things as sunflower seeds on bird feeders. She encouraged people to practice being bear aware this season by working together. “Do what you can in your neighbourhood,” said Weider. “A lot of times, I get calls from people who are good about storing their garbage but they have neighbours that aren’t as careful about storing their garbage— then it’s a problem for both of them.”

Harvest Canada confirmed Saturday that the project, known as the Framework for Dialogue, is officially over. It appears the two sides could not agree on research related to sea lice and closedcontainment farming. What remains unclear now is whether or not more conflict is coming to the often testy and confrontational debate over salmon farming. “The industry growing salmon in British Columbia is continuing to improve,” said Clare Backman, a spokesman for Marine Harvest Canada. “Along the road to improvement and reducing impacts, folks can find things to take issue with, and they’re gong to continue to do that. In terms of more conflict, I can’t say. It would depend on issues that people choose to take issue with.” When it was signed Jan. 12, 2006, the Framework for Dialogue included nine environmental organizations and First Nations, as well as Marine Harvest.

have been on strike since Wednesday, confirmed that talks broke off Sunday afternoon with little hope of resumption. Earlier in the day on Sunday, Labour Minister Lisa Raitt said she still hoped the parties could agree on a process that would end the strike, but made clear she would not wait long. Raitt said government officials have been talking with impacted

industries, farmers and the mining sector, and the reports are that the strike is “starting to actually affect their operations.” The minister gave notice of intention to intervene shortly after Wednesday morning’s walkout halted the company’s freight train service across the country, meaning she can table the bill as early today and strikers can be ordered back to work later in the week.

KAMLOOPS - B.C. Conservative Leader John Cummins believes most First Nations in the province won’t be able to claim much more than their village sites in the B.C. treaty process. Cummins acknowledges B.C. First Nations have a constitutional right to hunting and fishing, but says the same test for aboriginal title under the constitution would limit their territorial claim. There are currently 60 First Nations involved in the treaty process, many with overlapping land claims that take up much of the province. Cummins, who’s on a tour through B.C.’s Interior, told CFJC radio in Kamloops, that if the province isn’t owned by its people then what’s the point in having a legislature when politicians have to go to the local native band for permission to proceed with a project. Chief Shane Gottfriedson, of the Tk’emlups (teh-cumloops) Indian Band near Kamloops, doesn’t agree with Cummins, saying they never gave up their aboriginal rights or title to their land. He says his people have had to deal with leaders such as Cummins throughout history, and his only concern is helping his people better themselves and get out of poverty.

NATIONAL Student protests in B.C. on different track

Students signal they could compromise

BY BRIAN PLATT

BY BENJAMIN SHINGLER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER - When a six-year tuition freeze was lifted in British Columbia in 2002, causing tuition at most universities to double over the next three years, a group of 50 students spent a night camping in the University of British Columbia administration offices while a few hundred protested outside. Then the group stormed the student unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive offices to demand the resignation of the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president, Kristen Harvey. They were angry at the student unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lack of protesting: Harveyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts had been largely focused on holding consultations with university and government officials. The protests at UBC fizzled out quickly. During the next school term, the board of governors made room for 300 students to come speak at a meeting where new tuition raises were being passed. Barely 40 showed up. Today, after nearly four months of protests by an assortment of Quebec student groups over plans to hike tuition fees in the province, student leaders in the rest of Canada are only now beginning to hold solidarity events. UBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tepid reaction to the 2002 tuition hikes is not an anomaly. According to many current and former student politicians from across the country, student groups outside Quebec are simply incapable of holding widespread and sustained demonstrations, regardless of the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The student movement in English Canada has gone on a different trajectory since the 1960s,â&#x20AC;? says Duncan Wojtaszek, the executive director of the Council of Alberta University Students, an umbrella organization for Alberta student unions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it could make a good go of a day-long event, or even a couple days long...but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult for us to imagine 100 days culminating in a 100,000-plus march.â&#x20AC;? This is partly caused by promises made during Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quiet Revolution, Wojtaszek says, where education reforms famously created free or very cheap tuition. When a provincial government elsewhere in Canada raises tuition fees, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a sense of violating a sacred social contract. But anglophone student groups also tend to be highly-centralized and focused on operating student services, including businesses like pubs and cafes. Decisions are made by elected representatives at a broad, diverse council. In Quebec, the student groups are often smaller and intensely political. They frequently hold general assemblies where any student in the department or faculty can come to vote on issues. This grassroots element generates the energy and stamina in Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student protests that is missing everywhere else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The departmental councils have so much power at francophone schools. I think that thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really the big difference,â&#x20AC;? says Joey Coleman, who spent four years blogging about student politics for Macleanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and The Globe and Mail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking student strikes, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about faculties. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not talking about an entire school.â&#x20AC;? Coleman says the requirements of running businesses - such as hiring permanent staff and maintaining a hierarchical management structure - centralize power, weakening the faculty and department associations. In contrast, at the public colleges in Quebec, often known by the acronym CEGEPs, the schools themselves run many of the student services, leaving the students with little need to organize into one large student union.

MONTREAL - Quebec student leaders signalled on Saturday they may be ready to compromise on the core of their dispute with the government - the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to raise tuition fees. That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop thousands from taking to the streets of Montreal for a 33rd night in a row in a protest that again made it clear the conflict has moved way beyond the issue of education. One student leader, Martine Desjardins, said both sides must be prepared to compromise for the months-long crisis to be resolved. Another, Leo Bureau-Blouin, made headlines on Saturday when he told CBC Radio he would be willing to accept some form of tuition increase. Later in the day Bureau-Blouin tried to clarify his comments, saying the students were willing to make adjustments if the government was prepared to do so as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the government is prepared to move, there could be an area where we can find common ground,â&#x20AC;? he told The Canadian Press. Leaders of Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three main student associations could meet the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education minister this week. While the proposed hikes would still leave Quebec with some of the lowest tuition rates in Canada, the issue has flared into a clash of ideologies that goes beyond education. The nightly demonstrations continued Saturday with thousands of people pouring into the streets of Montreal.

Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s protests stir memories in Chilean-Montrealers BY ANDY BLATCHFORD THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL - The deafening clangs of pots and pans on the streets of Montreal have evoked haunting memories for local restaurateur Pedro Gonzalez and it has nothing to do with dish duty. Quebecers have turned up the volume during evening demonstrations to oppose their governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s controversial new law that clamps down on protests. For several consecutive nights, hordes of marchers have collectively drummed on everything from frying pans, to pot lids, to even barbecues. These boisterous events were born from the months-long student movement against Quebec plans to hike university tuition fees. The demonstrators drew inspiration for the noisy events from Chileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noted anti-government protests of the early 1970s and 1980s. The Chilean kitchenware-rattling, anti-government protests were called the cacerolazos. But the din of Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of the cacerolazo immediately triggered troubling recollections for Chilean-Montrealers like Gonzalez, who did not agree with the pol-

itics of Chileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original pot-knocking protesters. The first cacerolazos, held in the capital of Santiago, were orchestrated by women of the middle- and upper-class in the early 1970s. The women made the racket to protest the Marxist policies of then-president Salvador Allende, claiming they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough to eat. Gonzalez didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy 5)& ,005&/":n4 05& &/":n4 0/-:

the argument behind the cacerolazos, calling it a political game and saying it was the poor who had little food. Since that time, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s held a negative view of the cacerolazos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very bad memory,â&#x20AC;? said Gonzalez, 58, who fled to Canada from Chile in 1979. But this time the cacerolazos - or casseroles -represent something he can relate to.

ast weekend’s NATO summit in Chicago was mostly about how to get NATO troops out of Afghanistan without causing too much embarrassment to the Western governments that sent them, and a little bit about how to ensure that the Taliban don’t take over again once the Western troops leave. The timetable for NATO’s withdrawal is now graven in stone: all Western troops will be withdrawn from actual combat by the end of 2013, and they will all be out of the country by the end of 2014 (except the French, who will all leave by December of this year). This timetable will be adhered to no matter how the situation on the ground develops – or more likely, degrades – in the next two years. After that, it’s entirely in the Afghans’ hands. There was some pretty rhetoric to soften this harsh fact: “As Afghans stand up, they will not stand alone,” declared President Barack Obama. But alone is exactly where they will be, although NATO is promising to send the Afghan government $4 billion a year to enable its army to stand up to the Taliban. The Western alliance has finally accepted

How the Afghan War ends that if the foreign troops cannot defeat the Taliban in 11 years, they are most unlikely to do so in 13 or 15 years. The Russians could have told them that. “Our soldiers are not to blame,” General Sergei Akhromeyev told the Soviet Politburo in 1986. “They’ve fought incredibly bravely in adverse conditions. But to occupy towns and villages temporarily has little value in such a vast land where the insurgents can just disappear into the hills.” According to the Pentagon’s own numbers, each American soldier in Afghanistan costs about $1 million a year. Pashtun teenagers, eager to show their worth fighting against the foreigners, can be had for about $200 a month each – and there is an almost inexhaustible supply of young Pashtun males. The war was unwinnable from the start. It may also have been unnecessary. If the Taliban regime in Kabul was not told beforehand about alQaeda’s 9/11 attacks on the United States, then Osama bin Laden betrayed his hosts. Maybe they could have been persuaded to hand him and his men over

GWYNNE

DYER World Affairs by a judicious mixture of threats and bribes. But if the war that the US launched instead was really unwinnable, then the question of whether it was “necessary” or not is irrelevant. So if NATO is now conceding that the Taliban cannot be crushed by military force, then why is it going to keep its troops in Afghanistan for another two-and-a-half years before acting on that conclusion? Some of them will die as a result of that decision, and quite a few Afghans will be killed because of it, too. Apart from temporarily saving the face of various Western governments, what purpose will their deaths serve? NATO’s argument is that another two years will leave the Afghan army in a bet-

ter position to defend the US-installed government of Hamid Karzai after Western troops leave, but there is absolutely no evidence that it is true. Indeed, of the 150odd Western troops killed in Afghanistan so far this year, 20 were killed by the Afghan troops that NATO is supposed to be training for. The “Afghan National Army” is not fit for purpose, and the outcome after NATO troops leave will probably be the same whether they all go home this year or stay until 2014. So what is that probable outcome? Karzai may not fall immediately: the $4 billion a year that NATO is promising to pay for the maintenance of his army will probably preserve the status quo for two or three years. But no more: it is most unlikely that the subsidy will be extended when it comes up for review in 2018. That’s the way the Vietnam war ended. The last US troops left South Vietnam in 1973, but the regime they left behind survived until Congress cut off the flow of military aid in 1975. It happened exactly the same way when the Russians left Afghanistan in 1989: the regime they had supported lasted three

more years, until the flow of funds was cut off after the old Soviet Union collapsed at the end of 1991. The same thing will almost certainly happen this time. Even the $4 billion that NATO is now pledging will only pay for an Afghan army two-thirds of its currently planned size. When that external funding ends, the roof will probably fall in on Karzai’s regime. The Taliban will doubtless keep control of the Pashtun-speaking provinces where they recruit most of their fighters. (For all NATO’s efforts, they never really lost it.) The Afghan National Army will probably disintegrate and be replaced by the separate but allied Tajik, Hazara and Uzbek ethnic militias that held the north of the country before 9/11. They may be able to hold it again. In other words, the likeliest outcome is a reversion to the pre-9/11 distribution of power in Afghanistan, perhaps with the Taliban in control of Kabul, perhaps not. That’s not a wonderful outcome, but it’s not such a terrible one either. Gwynne Dyer is a Londonbased independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

LETTERS & OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Budget sign of the Times Like some politicians, editors say the darndest things. Even the Trail Daily Times editor has a budget to administer. As part of his managerial duties, he must operate within that budget. He must ensure, among many things, that he has been able to cover the newsroom’s human and capital costs. I doubt he would run a deficit. If he did, he would have to answer up the chain of authority as to why and then he would have to find economies or face being moved out of his position. As a private organization, the Times can decide to increase or find new income streams to cover its costs. A public entity, like a ministry of education, has to increase taxes or rob Peter to pay Paul. A recent economy from the Times is to now charge a fee for internet versions of its news. It was free of subscriber charge despite receiving ad revenues on the web edition. Ex-pats will now turn to other web sources to get their Trail fix.

On the public side of things, school board officials have a mandate; one which they accepted when they were elected. They must govern the operations of the school district within allotted amounts. Minister of Education George Abbott’s comment regarding the inability of Cowichan to balance its budget, is correct. Our local Kootenay Columbia School District has money. If it were to make unsound financial decisions, and put the district into a deficit position, then it, too, should face consequences similar to the Times editor. Surely, any comparison to “les enfants terribles” in Montreal is unwarranted. Their actions are reminiscent of spoiled children who just realized the price of lollipops went up and they would actually have to pay for them. As to their freedom to assemble, it’s still there; only with reasonable limitations. Rose Calderon, Trail

Environment, energy on Western agenda BY DEAN BENNETT EDMONTON - The environment, energy and federal NDP Leader Tom Mulcair are on the agenda Tuesday when leaders of the western provinces and territories get together. “There is going to be an emphasis on environmental regulation,” said Alberta Premier Alison Redford, who will host the meeting in Edmonton. “British Columbia wants to talk about families and community development and (Saskatchewan) Premier (Brad) Wall and I want to continue to advance the Canadian energy strategy agenda.” Redford didn’t refer to Mulcair by name, but said: “My expectation is we’ll probably speak a little bit about the view that other national leaders have taken of western premiers in the past month or so, so it should be an interesting discussion.” Mulcair made headlines recently by saying strong growth in the petroleum industry, particularly in Alberta’s oilsands, has led to a higher dollar which is hammering manufacturers in Central Canada. Premiers Wall, Redford, and B.C.’s Christy Clark disparaged Mulcair’s remarks as divisive and ill-informed. He in turn dismissed the premiers as “messengers” of Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Redford said her goal is not to divide, but to unite under what she terms a Canadian energy

strategy. The plan would be for all provinces and territories to work together - and with the federal government - to advance development of Canada’s energy industry and address environmental protection. It would include, for example, working to improve rules and regulations, collective lobbying in the global marketplace and shared responsibility on trans-boundary projects such as pipelines. Harper has said he’s intrigued by the idea, and Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver said while in Edmonton on Friday that he supports “a collaborative approach to energy development.” Shortly after Tuesday’s meeting, Mulcair himself will be in Alberta. The NDP leader has confirmed he will visit the province for two days starting Wednesday. The plan is to include a trip to the oilsands. Redford said she will meet with him if time allows. “It’ll depend on his schedule,” she said. “I’ve got commitments that day outside of the province. If I can’t meet with him, the deputy premier (Thomas Lukaszuk) will meet with him. “I was pleased to see that he is going to (the oilsands area of) Fort McMurray,” she added. “One of the things that I did suggest is that he should inform himself of the issues.”

Waterproof sunscreens may last up to 80 minutes in the water, and some are sweat- and rub-proof. Regardless of the waterproof label, be sure to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours and when you come out of the water.

In fact, Redford said earlier this month she wouldn’t meet with Mulcair unless he had educated himself on the issue. She suggested Mulcair should not expect the same treatment accorded to James Cameron. The famed Hollywood director and oilsands critic paid his own visit to the region in the fall of 2010 and debated the issues in a private meeting with former premier Ed Stelmach. Cameron said Stelmach tried to sway his opinion by pulling out a study refuting reports that oilsands pollution was leading to higher cancer rates in the region. Redford said there won’t be a repeat. “I think back to others that have come to Alberta after they have made public pronouncements (on the oilsands),” said Redford. “From my perspective I don’t think anyone should expect that we’re going to get into a situation where anyone representing the government of Alberta is going to sit in a meeting room and try to lobby Mr. Mulcair to change his mind.” Mulcair’s comments have stirred a national debate on the economic impacts of the oilsands and the energy industry in general. A Canadian Press HarrisDecima poll released Friday suggested Canadians are split on whether Mulcair is correct in his view of the oilsands and their effect on the economy.

REGIONAL A GIFT FROM GORD

Exotic animals confiscated at border crossing BY CASSANDRA CHIN Grand Forks Gazette

A Grand Forks resident is currently under investigation after attempting to import exotic animals over the Carson/Danville border on April 11. Border services officers examined the shipment of frogs, invertebrates and arachnids and determined that it contained animals that were listed on CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). “The importer did not have an import or deport document as required by CITES, Environment Canada or US Fish and Wildlife,” said Faith St. John, communications advisor at Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA). “The animals were held and Environment Canada was contacted.”

According to CBSA regulations, travelers are required by law to declare all plants, animals and their products being brought into Canada. St. John would like to remind all travelers entering Canada has a role in protecting Canadians’ health and environment. “Always declare everything you are carrying when crossing the border, including food, plant or animal products,” she said. “If you are unsure whether the product is allowed, declare the item and discuss it with a border services officer.” St. John noted that penalties for failing to declare might include fines and prosecution. “We encourage all travelers to seek advice before travelling by visiting the Canada Border Services website at cbsa.gc.ca,” she concluded. The investigation is still ongoing.

AM FORD ORIOLES

Jays take series Kelowna late-inning rally wins rubber match BY JIM BAILEY

The AM Ford Trail Orioles looked to get off to a flying start as they opened their season in the Pacific International League on the weekend. Unfortunately, the O’s flew into a Monster on Friday before bouncing back Saturday. The Orioles battled hard against a tough Kelowna Jays side but lost the rubber match Saturday after splitting their first two games in a three game set at Butler Park. Kelowna Jays’ pitcher Mike Monster hurled an outstanding game to open the series and the PIL’s 20th season, striking out 13 Orioles on two hits and two walks on his way to a 9-0 shutout Friday. The Orioles bounced back with a 2-1 win in the first game of the double header on Saturday before dropping the second match by the same score. In the first half of the double bill, it was a scoreless game until with two out in the bottom of the third, Connor Jones walked then stole second and scored on a Kyle Mace single to put the O’s up 1-0. After a scoreless fourth, the O’s would get the winning run in the fifth thanks to added speed on the base paths. Trail AAA Jays graduate Jesse Rypien led off with a double. Connor Jones pushed him to third on a ground out to second, and Josh Mace would get the RBI after laying down a grounder to the right side. The Jays made it close in the seventh, when Austin Bartleson stroked a lead off home run off of O’s reliever Kyle Paulson, but the right-hander shut the door after that. Kellen Jones picked up the win for the Orioles, throwing five strong innings, giving up just one hit and four walks while striking out four. Jesse Rypien and Josh Mace each went 1 for 2 with both Josh and Kyle driving in runs. In the second half of the double header the teams were deadlocked at 1-1 heading into the eighth and final inning when the Jays rallied. Kelowna’s Jordan Varga belted a double off reliever Kyle Mace to lead off the inning. After a walk to Jared Varga, Mace got a pop out and ground out to almost get out of the inning unscathed. However, Jordan Devencenzi singled to score Varga from third and give the Jays the 2-1 win. Scott Rhynold pitched a gem going six strong innings, giving up one hit and striking out nine, while allowing one unearned run. The Orioles left the bases loaded in the first, but they would score in the second. Jesse Rypien led off with a walk and promptly stole second base. Connor Jones stepped up and delivered, stroking a single and advancing on a throwing error by the pitcher that allowed Rypien to score. In the two innings that followed, the O’s would get a runner to third base with one out, yet fail to plate the runner, leaving the door open for the Jays. In the top of six Jordan Varga walked to lead off and would later score on an error to tie the game. Darrin Kissock and Kyle Mace went 2 for 4 for Trail. The O’s next home games go June 8-9 against the Northwest Honkers.

Canadian Ryder makes history in Milan

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MILAN, Italy - Canada’s Ryder Hesjedal didn’t realize history was within his grasp until he was about five kilometres from the Giro d’Italia finish line. Aware he had a chance to overcome Joaquin Rodriguez’s 31-second overall lead in Sunday’s final stage, Hesjedal broke out onto the streets of Milan determined to keep victory from slipping away. Only near the end did he find out he would become the first Canadian to win one of cycling’s three major tour races. “Nothing anyone could have said to me could have changed how hard I rode,” he said. Hesjedal took 34 minutes 15 seconds to complete Sunday’s 28.2-kilometre individual time trial in sixth - 20 places ahead of his Spanish rival. His 16-second margin of victory was the second closest in Giro history. “It’s just been an unreal experience from day one, what the team was able to do. It’s unbelievable,”

said the Victoria native, who finished the race in 91 hours 39 minutes two seconds. “This is incredible. It’s a dream come true.” Like the rest of the riders, Hesjedal had been through a demanding mountain ride to the top of the Stelvio Pass in northern Italy on Saturday. “Yesterday was extremely hard,” he said. “I got through it and I knew as I was on the helicopter descending into Milan that I still had a shot. This morning I just felt incredible on my bike and I knew I could do it.” Though he hadn’t taken his victory chances seriously before the race, Hesjedal’s thinking started to change after he first wore the overall leader’s pink jersey in Stage 7, following a fifth-placed finish. “I never thought ‘I’m going to win,”’ he said. “I was always just focused on having a good ride and I knew that would put me up there. The day I pulled on the jersey for the first time I knew I was good and could accomplish

in another good performance to finish third overall, 1:39 behind Hesjedal. The Belgian had been 5:40 behind Rodriguez at the start of stage 20. Defending champion Michele Scarponi was fourth. It is the first time since 1995 that an Italian has not finished on the podium in the Giro, one of the sport’s top three races along with the Tour de France and the Spanish Vuelta. Prime Minister Stephen Harper was among the Canadians celebrating Hesjedal’s victory. “This remarkable win in one of bicycle racing’s most gruelling competitions is a testimony to Mr. Hesjedal’s training, endurance, skill and competitive spirit,” Harper said in a statement. On Twitter, seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong praised Hesjedal’s achievement. “Congratulations to @ryderhesjedal on his incredible victory in the #giro. Gotta love it when the best man wins,” tweeted Armstrong.

something great and that drove me harder.” The 31-year-old Hesjedal became only the third non-Italian to win the Giro in the past 15 years. Hesjedal and Rodriguez were the last two riders to start on Sunday. Although Rodriguez had worn the pink jersey for 10 days over the course of the race and gave it his all in the time trial, he ended the stage in 35:02. “I believed it until the end and so it’s almost harder for me,” said Rodriguez. “It’s only now, with hindsight, that you see the mistakes. Maybe we should have distanced Ryder in the first week. But it went how it went and Ryder won. “He was the strongest in the three weeks. I did my best and I don’t have any regrets.” Marco Pinotti won the final stage in 33:06, 39 seconds ahead of Geraint Thomas.

Penalty almost costs him victory

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FORT WORTH, Texas - Zach Johnson was so caught up in the emotion of another Colonial title and a victory in honour of his caddie’s late father that he forgot to properly remark his ball before his final putt. Even with a twostroke penalty, Johnson won by one over Jason Dufner and got to slip on the plaid jacket Sunday for his first victory since also winning at Hogan’s Alley two years ago. “There’s a number of adjectives I’m calling myself right now. And lucky would be the biggest one,” Johnson said. “Blessed would be

another one, humbled would be another one. It’s an honour to put this jacket on once. ... I’m in shock I got it twice.” Johnson moved his original ball mark out of the line of Dufner’s putt on the 18th green. But he never moved it back before his final 5-foot putt. The penalty was assessed before he signed his scorecard, and Johnson’s 12-under 268 total was enough to edge Dufner, who finally faltered and closed with a 74. Johnson had already shared celebratory hugs and kisses with his two young sons and done a winner’s television interview before caddie Damon Green, prompted by a rules

official, asked the 2007 Masters champion if he had put his ball back in its original spot. “First time it crossed my mind,” Johnson said. “It’s not going to be the last time.” The victory came 10 days after Green’s 88-year old father died from stomach cancer. After Johnson’s runnerup finish at The Players Championship two weeks ago, the caddie drove to Pensacola, Fla., to see his father. But Damon Green was ready to get back on the course this week. “He wanted to be here, he felt like his dad wanted him to be here,” Johnson about his caddie of 10 years. “I think he’s the one that deserves this one more than I do. His courage and certainly his strength to get through last week and then work, and work well this week, to stay focused somehow. That’s really commendable.” It is the eighth PGA Tour victory for Johnson, who won $1,152,000 even as his record streak of 15 consecutive underpar rounds at Colonial ended. Tommy Gainey was a distant third at 7 under after a 67, a stroke better than Jim Furyk.

Boyfriend should visit friend but avoid temptation Dear Annie: I’m in my early 20s and have been dating “Aidan” for a year. He attends college two hours away. He doesn’t socialize much and stresses a lot about his grades. His only real friend is “Cara,” a girl we went to high school with. Cara lives in a house with several other girls. The first time I met her roommate “Lisa,” I felt uncomfortable. I’m not the jealous type, but something about her bothered me. Still, I continued to be nice to her and supportive of Aidan’s friendships. A few days ago, Aidan came clean and told me that he had drunkenly made out with Lisa. He said he was stressed over school and went to see Cara, but only Lisa was home. He got drunk, and they got overly friendly. He said he felt terrible and was tormented for a week before he told me.

never happen again. I’m having a hard time trusting my boyfriend, and I certainly can’t trust Lisa. I don’t want him to be friends with her anymore. Aidan says I’m being unreasonable since Cara is his only friend. He doesn’t want to cause problems or be lonely because he can’t go to her house or has to leave if Lisa is there. I’m hurt and confused by his perception of the situation. He doesn’t think it should be a big deal because he didn’t sleep with her. I want Lisa completely out of the picture. I feel that Aidan is more worried about upsetting Cara and

her roommates than he is about upsetting me. Shouldn’t he take my side? -- Northern Petunia Dear Northern: Yes. We agree that he needn’t give up his friendship with Cara, but being around Lisa is problematic. Aidan needs to support your position on this and take the necessary steps to avoid being in a compromising place. He can see Cara outside of her apartment. If he is unwilling to change his visiting habits, you need to decide whether you can trust him or not. Dear Annie: I have no family or friends to speak of. I have joined too many dating services to count. It looks like I am going to be by myself for whatever time I have left. So what does one do with one’s personal effects when they have no one to whom to leave it all? I am 54, and every year it gets a little scar-

ier. I have been able to figure out pretty much any problem in life, but this one has me stuck. -- Worried Woman Dear Worried: You can donate personal items to charity, a local historical society, a women’s shelter or any organization that would appreciate them. But also consider seeing a counselor. Someone who has no friends could use a little help finding out why and learning ways to change that dynamic. We also recommend doing some volunteer work in your area. It will lift your spirits and help others. Dear Annie: “Sad Wife” wants her husband to be the breadwinner, but he suffers from low self-esteem and works a minimumwage job. Meanwhile, they just had a baby, and she was forced to go back to work. She needs to take responsibility for her bad choices. Wanting her husband to be the

breadwinner is her priority, not his. She should have married someone who was already capable of supporting a family, not someone who promised he would take steps to make it happen. And if it’s so important for her

to be a stay-at-home mom, why did she get pregnant with a guy who had a minimumwage job? If she regrets her choices, she needs to “man up” and either leave him or find a solution, such as a job

that allows her to work from home. -- LYC Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@com-

This is a good day to think about how to achieve your goals and

dreams for the future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You will be briefly noticed by others today, especially bosses and VIPs. People see you as a leader and someone who can rally the troops and inspire others to action. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Travel anywhere today if you can, because you’re eager to learn something new. You also want to have

a little adventure. Avoid boring situations, for sure! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an excellent day to discuss shared property, inheritances, insurance matters and anything you own jointly with others. You likely will come out ahead in these discussions. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Relations with partners and close friends are warm

and friendly today. People are supportive. Join forces with others, because this is not the day to go it alone. YOU BORN TODAY By nature, you’re protective. You’re committed to whatever is dear to you, be it a project or a person. You love new ideas, yet you’re also a traditionalist. You never shy away from confrontation because you see yourself as a defender of just causes; plus, you’re an excellent debater

LOCAL Accident causes fuel spill near Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital BY SAM VAN SCHIE Nelson Star

A Selkirk Paving employee is lucky to be alive after being pinned under a dump truck that rolled off the road on Park Street near the Nelson hospital, around noon Friday. The dump truck, which was parked on Park Street at Silica Street, was attached to a flatbed trailer that had been loaded with building supplies and a road paving vehicle. Police investigating the incident believe the parked truck started to roll when workers attempted to unload the paver. The weight of the paver, when it was moved to the back of the flatbed, tipped the trailer back like a teeter-totter and also pulled the truckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back tires and the rear brakes off the ground. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The driver tried to jump into the truck to stop it but got caught underneath it instead,â&#x20AC;? Nelson Police Acting Sgt. Paul Bayes said.

Paramedics pulled the 53-year-old Nelson man out from under the truck and transported him to Kootenay Lake General Hospital. His injuries were not life threatening, according to Bayes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a miracle heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alive,â&#x20AC;? Bayes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a just a few inches from being crushed.â&#x20AC;? The truck jack-knifed over the curb, crashing through city fencing and into the side of a home garage. Its fuel tank was punctured sending diesel fuel streaming down the side of Silica Street. Nelson Public Works responded to clean up the spill and laid sand bags down to stop it before it leaked into the storm drain. Gyro Park Road and part of Park and Silica streets were closed all Friday afternoon with Nelson fire fighters, Nelson police officers and RCMP traffic reconstructionists on scene to aid in the investigation and cleanup.
