Water flowing from new reservoir

ARTIST AT WORK

City pleased with completion of $2.1 million project

BY GUY BERTRAND Times Staff

With a turn of the tap, a staple of life in Greater Trail received an important upgrade earlier this month.

At the beginning of May, water began to flow from the brand new $2.1 million Coleman Street Reservoir.

“We don’t see projects this big very often,” Trail Councilor Gord DeRosa on Thursday. “This was a matter of replacing aging infrastructure with state of the art.”

The new structure replaces the original opentop concrete pit reservoir, which was over 70 years old and posed the obvious health and maintenance factors.

“The age of the old reservoir, the unreliability of water quality, there were so many unknowns,” explained John Howes, an engineering technician for the City of Trail. “We were being very proactive on this one.”

The new reservoir, which holds 3.5 million litres of water, roughly the same as the old one, will service the West Trail corridor and into portions of downtown.

Big bill for speedy water main repairs

This was no Michaelangelo-esque pose for Trail-based painter Nevio Santarossa as he looked to put the finishing touches on the paint around a window. The house Santarossa was painting on Third Avenue — with his partner Richie and his dog, Lulu — had been moved to the East Trail location 50 years ago when they widened the road to make way for the new bridge.

Census paints Trail with silver touch

BY TIMES STAFF Dealing with a broken water main this week has proven to be a drain on the City of Trail’s coffers.

City staff worked through Monday night and Tuesday morning to fix a ruptured main that broke through the pavement at the intersection of Victoria Street and Cedar Avenue.

“It’s going to be an expensive repair,” admitted Larry Abenante, the city’s Public Works manager.

“The overtime, the asphalt repairs, it’s going to hit $30,000 to $40,000 for sure. I don’t know what the paving costs will come in at.”

He said the paving was scheduled to be done Thursday but with rain in the morning, it was put on hold for a few days.

Although traffic has resumed without delay on Victoria Street, Cedar Avenue remains closed until at least Saturday.

“I’m keeping it closed until I feel comfortable the roads are repaired,” said Abenante, who is hoping the street will be back in service by Saturday afternoon.

IT’S TIME

Statistics show Trail has higher population of seniors than average while Rossland has younger crowd

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

They don’t call it the Silver City for nothing.

Trail has one of the highest senior populations in the Kootenays, second only to Creston, with a total population of 1,930 people — or 25.1 per cent — 65 years of

age or older, according to figures released by Statistics Canada Tuesday.

In fact, Trail was second in the median age category, again to Creston, with an average age of 49.8 years (Creston was 55.2), and had the second highest per capita of octogenarians and above at 9.3 per cent (Creston at 11 per cent).

As a result, Trail had the lowest proportion of young people in the zero-to-14 category with 13 per cent of the population, or 1,005 people.

Over 62 per cent of the city’s population was in the work-

ing class age group (15-64).

A little further afield in the Golden City, Rossland led the Kootenays with the youngest median age at 39.9 years, edging out youthful Nelson that came in at 40.9.

The mountain kingdom had a perfect even split of male and females, with 1,780 on each side. In Trail, women outnumber men by 450, or 4,065 to 3,615.

As a point of fact, gender population favours women in Kootenay municipalities, with women making up 52 per cent of the population on average in most places,

including Trail. However, in rural areas, the scale slips back the other way with there being more men residing in the Kootenay countryside.

Trail’s median age was also far higher than both the B.C. average of 41.9 years, and the national average of 40.6.

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary had a median of 33 per cent seniors overall (6.715 people), higher than neighbouring Central Kootenay regional district that had 19 per cent senior’s population (11,375 people).

Like a flock of locusts, eight seniors descended on the Trail Seventh Day Adventists Church for a good oldfashioned work bee.

Using the experience and knowledge from the Seniors in Action for God with Excellence (SAGE) — a volunteer group that helps construct and renovate churches across North America — the walls and roof of the church on Columbia Avenue went up in a hurry.

Just over one week in fact. It was long days and hard work for the veteran crew, but it was worth it, said Walla Walla, Wash. resident Larry Goodhew, the crew’s foreman. “It’s been fun. You wouldn’t work that hard for money,� he said, perhaps hinting at the higher calling involved in the nature of the work.

Eight people were on site for main project last week — erecting walls, roof trusses, sheathing — but Goodhew stayed on this week to finish the framing because there was no one local in the church that could complete it.

The $80,000 pro-

ject will add a foyer, wheel chair ramp, and an extra bathroom to the front of the aging church for the 30 parishioners.

The front steps had been crumbling for a few years, said church member Frank Edey, making it hard to get to church on time some days. “Have you ever seen our front steps? They were in pretty rough shape. We were always patching and patching,� he said. “Some days, you weren’t sure you’d get up the stairs in one piece.�

With the project in mind, the church had been lining a building fund for over four years with an eye towards engaging in the development.

The SAGE group that worked on the Trail project was based out of Walla Walla, although there is a Canadian contingent, unavailable at the time for the Trail project.

Their volunteer contributions are expected to save the tiny church thousands of dollars on construction costs. For the remaining work, local roofers, drywallers and other trades will be brought in to

Gearing up for river treaty consultations

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

When you’ve ďŹ nished reading this paper, please recycle it!

Life is a river.

So says the Tao of Pooh — the 1982 book on Taoism, an Eastern belief — so says the Columbia River running through Trail.

That life and the Columbia River Treaty (CRT) that abounds it as it relates to the U.S., hydroelectricity, and flood management will be revisited this Wednesday in Castlegar at Selkirk College.

The Columbia Basin Trust is hosting an open house on the treaty, while the province will be conducting itsconsultation surrounding the elements of the document, on something that should be near and dear to the hearts of Trail residents since they live on the banks of the river, said Kindy Gosal, CBT director of water and enviroment.

Trail does get significant flood control benefits from the treaty, he noted.

ffor You & Your Family

“I think we do forget about the treaty because it has been there so long and it has operated so well,� he said about the document, signed in 1964. “Its original tenet was for hydro power and flood control, but what we see now are many different values coming up and the water systems being used for many different things like recreation, fishing.�

In the first round of 15 educational open houses

conducted in the Columbia River Basin last year, people asked for more information on several topics, including: the benefits and negative impacts of the current CRT; issues related to compensation; the feasibility of bringing salmon back to the upper Columbia River; climate change and how it may influence the CRT in the future; and scenarios for the future of the CRT.

LOCAL Gas leak at Teck

BY TIMES STAFF An escaping cloud of sulphur dioxide gas forced a brief evacuation from Teck Trail Operations Wednesday afternoon.

No injuries were reported when the gas was discharged from the zinc absorption plant after a piece of equipment failed.

As a result, the column of gas blew towards another part of the site away from the plant, kicking the emergency response crews on site into action.

Teck maintained that there was no risk to the community as SO2 monitoring devices registered that there were no elevated levels of the gas.

Treaty review option comes up in 2014 FROM PAGE 2 They also want to learn more about how the current CRT operated, including flood control and downstream power benefits, as well as roles and responsibilities of key players, including the federal and provincial governments.

When it was created, the idea of the treaty was an obligation for Canada to create storage reservoirs to store water for purposes of flood control and electrical generation, and release those waters to optimize those two benefits.

Under the treaty, there was a review option built in for either the Canada or U.S. side for 2024, meaning either side could terminate any provisions of the treaty, but they have to give 10 years notice (in 2014).

“Really, this is an opportunity to re-think how we manage these waters and what we manage them for,” said Gosal. “Now we are looking at the treaty that was ratified in 1964 and seeing if it is relevant in today’s context.”

Attend an open house (3-7 p.m.), a discussion with experts (5-6:30 p.m.) and a free dinner (6:30-7 p.m.). This open house will be followed by a consultation workshop (7-9 p.m.) led by the Province of BC. “This really is the Province of B.C, that will make any decisions on the future of the treaty,” Gosal said.

The province’s representatives will be present in the evening.

Above (from the left); Councilor Gord DeRosa, Public Works Manager Larry Abenante and engineer John Howes, proudly stand in front of the new Coleman Street Reservoir. Below; the old reservoir is being demolished to make way for access and parking.

DeRosa explained the opportunity to replace the old reservoir arose thanks to the city setting aside funds from the federal government’s Gas Tax Program over the years.

The federal input into the project is expected to cover over half the cost. The final tally has yet to be rung up but early estimates are the federal grants will cover approximately $1.3 million of the overall cost.

At first glance the new reservoir, located high atop Columbia Heights below the Annable neighborhood, resembles a flying saucer landing on the hillside.

Howes said the design is much nicer than the usual concrete rectangle and was the main design put forward by manufacturer.

But it’s what’s inside that counts, he explained.

The main tank is lined with glass-fused steel whereas traditional steel tanks suffered from corrosion.

“It’s virtually maintenance free,” said Howes.

DeRosa added that if maintenance is required, the task will be much easier.

The city had dealt with several issues surrounding the old reservoir including installing a floating cover to protect the stored water. However, the cover had a life expectancy of only a few years and the cost of replacement was anywhere from half a million to a million dollars.

“You get all that work done and nobody can guarantee it will last more than four or five years,” said DeRosa.

That prompted the city to begin exploring a replacement facility. An evaluation revealed a new reservoir was the most economical route and ensured quality water for residents for years to come.

All that’s left on the project, which began in September, 2011, is the demolition of the old reservoir.

“That’s where we’re at now,” said Howes.

Part of the decommissioning of the old reservoir will include repairs to Coleman Street. The old reservoir location will also be used as access and parking for the new reservoir.

Laws left in limbo after legislature adjourns

BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

VICTORIA – A dozen bills are being pushed through with minimal debate in the last two days of the B.C. legislature’s spring session, and four more will be left in limbo until the B.C. Liberal government decides whether to proceed with a scheduled fall session.

B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Coleman moved Wednesday to divide up the remaining time left to debate a stack of legislation tabled by government ministers in recent weeks. Bills receiving less than an hour of additional scrutiny include changes to ferry legislation, new penalty provisions for transit fare evasion, changes to support harsher roadside penalties for sus-

pected impaired drivers, the establishment of a Family Day holiday and the reinstatement of the provincial sales tax (PST).

NDP house leader John Horgan said complicated issues such as sales tax transition for new home sales can’t possibly be understood in the 30 minutes allowed for debate.

The B.C. Liberals have “completely and utterly botched” this legislative session, with 15 bills presented with only eight sitting days left, Horgan said.

Coleman and Finance Minister Kevin Falcon have previously said the late flood of legislation was caused partly by the staff time required to dismantle the harmonized sales tax, set to end next spring.

Water Conservation

June 1 to September 30, 2012

Attention Residences and Businesses of Trail Effective June 1, 2012, and pursuant to the City of Trail Waterworks Bylaw, water use conservation measures are in place for all areas of the City of Trail as follows: • Lawn watering is permitted only on odd numbered days for odd numbered premises and even numbered days for even numbered premises.

• Conventional lawn watering, typically a garden hose and sprinkler head, is permitted only during the hours of 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM on your designated day.

• Automatic sprinkler systems such as underground sprinklers, or other sprinklers that are controlled by an automatic turn on/turn off device, are permitted from midnight to 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM to midnight on your designated day. These automated sprinkler systems must be set to a maximum time of 30 minutes per zone.

• Hand watering of gardens and flower beds is permitted any time of the day or evening, providing a flow control device is used i.e. a hose nozzle.

Wetting down sidewalks and driveways as a form of cooling is prohibited.

• If possible avoid over-spraying onto sidewalks, driveways, streets or alleys.

The City of Trail thanks you in advance for your cooperation in helping us preserve this precious resource, and reminds you that water conservation is a global concern.

For further information on water conservation, please call 250-364-0842.

Yours truly, Chris Mclsaac, AScT, Utilities Superintendent.

The legislative logjam prompted the government to open a third chamber in a committee room, holding three simultaneous debates for the first time in B.C. history.

Coleman said the NDP opposition wasted hours of debate time speaking to legislation that they ended up supporting, and opposing the use of a third debate chamber.

“If they hadn’t spent three days talking about the HST when the PST bill was the one they were supposed to be debating, and given us leave to do the third house, all the work would have got done,” Coleman said.

The four bills not passed in the spring session include a restructuring of ambulance services, and regulatory changes affecting disease reporting on farms. Another bill left in limbo would modernize movie regulations, and the fourth makes changes to water use in oil and gas drilling.

2012 Pain Resolution PUBLIC NOTICE In 2007 a 3,560 hecatare wildfire in the Pend d’Oreille valley occurred and caused evacuation orders and alerts to many local residents. As this year’s fire season approaches so does the risk of another wildfire, therefore it is requested that No Open Fires be in the Pend d’ Oreille area. Please respect this request and help to reduce the possibility of this area being closed to the public for the summer.

In May 2012 the WKATV Club removed over 1,000kg of wooden pallets from the Pend d’ Oreille area, business owners are advised to keep wood pallets in secure areas to help reduce and stop people from collecting them for open fires. Let’s all be part of the solution in protecting our forests.

This area has had security increased to watch for open fire and vandalism for the 2012 summer season and penalties/tickets will be issued to offenders.

IBEW 213 represents FortisBC employees working primarily in gas distribution and transmission, including installation and emergency response and the repair and maintenance of the gas pipeline system.

It said the company will hold discussions with its unions regarding an essential services plan.

“Until the plan is complete and approved by the Labour Relations Board, no strike action can legally occur,” it said.

“Once the essential services order is received by the company, if the union wishes to continue with job action, it then has the option to issue 72-hour notice for job action,” it added.

company expects service will be back to normal 48 hours after the wheels start turning, although clearing the freight backlog is more difficult to assess.

Raitt told an emergency debate in the Senate that - as an example of the backlog - six empty ships are awaiting grain shipments in Vancouver, with another eight coming, and each ship takes half a day to load.

Raitt claims the strike was costing the economy half a billion dollars a week and the government had no choice but to act swiftly, even though she would prefer to allow collective bargaining to run its course.

It’s the third time in the last year the government has tabled or threatened back-to-work legislation, a development that critics say shortcircuits free collective bargaining and does no favours to workers or the long-term health of business.

She also said it’s a positive sign that some of the people accompanying Mulcair said they planned to return to the region.

Blake added, however, that she doubts the oilsands have much to do with driving up the value of the dollar and hurting central Canadian manufacturing, as Mulcair has suggested.

Mulcair’s visit may have been a big deal on the political scene, but it appeared to be just another day in Fort McMurray.

No one stopped him or tried to talk to him as he walked to city hall for his meeting with Blake.

Mulcair didn’t say anything either - he indicated he’d do all his talking at a news conference in Edmonton later in the day.

Fort McMurray is used to visitors wanting to see the oilsands firsthand - everyone from highpowered politicians from all over the world to Hollywood film directors such as James Cameron.

Mulcair’s day started early with a tour of Suncor’s project, a look at some tailings ponds and a helicopter ride over the region.

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - A 12-hour countdown is on to the return of Canadian Pacific Rail freight service.

The Conservative-dominated Senate has passed back-to-work legislation, ending a nine-day strike by 4,800 locomotive engineers, conductors, yardmen and others.

A spokesman for CP Rail said the company’s plan was to have cars rolling 12 hours after the bill becomes law.

While trains will be running Friday morning, the company expects full capacity service won’t be back up until two to three days after that.

Labour Minister Lisa Raitt told the Senate she expects it will take weeks to clear the freight backlog and that it could takes years for the rail carrier to recover all its lost business.

A spokesman for CP Rail says the

FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. - The mayor of Alberta’s oilsands region says NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has some valid points about the industry.

Melissa Blake met with Mulcair at Fort McMurray city hall after his visit to Suncor’s oilsands project Thursday.

She said she doesn’t entirely disagree with his concerns about environmental sustainability. “His passion is deep for the advances he’s trying to make in environmental legislation,� she said. “He’s got some valid points. He’s got some that I disagree with. But overall I respect ... the visit he made to our region and the time that he spent while he was here.�

She also says she gives Mulcair credit for meeting with locally elected officials. “I value and respect everyone who takes the time to come to the region to get the lay of the land and to understand and seek a deeper knowledge of what goes on in the industry,� Blake said. “But quite often they overpass the municipality and therefore the citizen representation that’s duly elected at the local level.

M

any of my fellow boomers among the political and chattering classes have reflexively condemned the Quebec students protesting university tuition increases.

Images of rioters torching vehicles and trashing storefronts are as disturbing in Montreal as they are in Vancouver. Unlike the Stanley Cup thugs, the students have enough common sense to wear masks rather than bare their faces to Facebook.

Is a considered political act of vandalism or violence less blameworthy than hockey hosers acting out their frustrations?

Probably not, but at least they are due more thoughtfulness in critiquing their actions, especially when the vast majority of student protesters are behaving themselves.

Commentators are quick to point out that Quebec citizens pay the highest taxes to support the highest public debt and by far the lowest tuition fees in the land.

Quebec students this year paid roughly half the $5,400 average level of undergraduate tuition faced

by students across Canada.

Fees at British Columbia’s premiere or research universities are about 10 per cent below the average.

I paid $450 a year for tuition at a Montreal university in the mid to late 1970s. Adjusted for inflation that is half what Quebec students pay now, before the proposed $350 annual increases over five years, and a fraction of what their counterparts across Canada are charged.

My share of the rent on a three bedroom apartment my first year was $50. The next year I moved to a rat hole below the tracks and paid even less.

As for other student essentials, beer was 25 cents a glass in the taverns.

The provincial sales tax on meals kicked in at $2.25, so Montreal fixtures like Toe Blake’s Tavern offered lunch specials for $2.24 such as rib steaks and pigs knuckles. (In those lean student days, fat was a luxury rather than a problem.)

I paid for all of this with minimum-wage jobs such as a front desk clerk at a downtown hotel, while also supplementing my academic education. (A Palestinian

The minimum wage was $3.25, about a third of what it is today across Canada.

Meanwhile, average tuition costs are12 times what I paid. It is not surprising that so many students are buried in debt when they graduate.

According to a 2006 Statistics Canada study, the proportion of students graduating with debt rose

10 points in the previous decade to 57 per cent and the average debt was then approaching $20,000.

Without no student debt to worry about and a robust economy that provided immediate entry into the full-time work world, buying a house back in my prime was no sweat.

Try out that notion on your typical 20-somethings these days, whose employment prospects are slim and who faces a bloated mortgage to buy a house.

With the release of new census data this week, the debate about what to do about the demographic time bomb that ticks away as we boomers age has come to the fore – again.

In the coming decades the ratio of workers to retirees is projected to drop dramatically, meaning there will be more people collecting oldage benefits and replacement body parts and fewer people in their peak earning and taxing years to pay for them.

This demographic scenario has been anticipated for decades but nothing was done about it; governments put no money aside to cover the looming tab.

When the federal Conservatives were first elected as a minority government they cut taxes and increased spending to buy more votes.

Now that they have a majority they are getting tough by cutting old-age security – for the youngest boomers and the poor saps who followed them.

There has been much discussion in recent years about the perceived sense of entitlement among younger people. Entitled yes, but what will be left?

Next time you boomer and Best Years parents are driving to the cottage with your adult kids, don’t be surprised if they change the channel in disgust when Bob Dylan starts to wail that boomer anthem “Forever Young,” which begins “May God bless and keep you always, may your wishes all come true.”

We would do well to remember the rest of the song about “truth” and doing for others, be a bit less self-satisfied, and do more to ensure that future generations have it as good as many of us have.

LETTERS & OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Nothing brave about milking taxpayers There is nothing particularly brave, selfless or astute in going back to the taxpayer well for another bucket of cash.

That’s easy. Reckless, but, easy.

What takes courage, skill and planning is to ration what you’ve been given and allow the economy to provide an increase of cash to that taxpayer-funded well.

The provincial government has been increasing public school allocations responsibly every year.

What I think the provincial government, in consultation with the teachers union, should be doing however is offering incentives to older workers for early retirement.

This could be a onetime incentive offered over a three-year period.

The goal is to reduce the number of higher salaried workers and allow school boards to hire younger teachers with fewer year of experience and, hence, lower salaries.

(In

time, they, too, will earn the higher salaries and the union doesn’t lose any paying members, either.)

This would allow school districts like ours who have an older workforce to have more working capital to keep some of those resource teachers Aaron Cosbey wrote about (Trustees are brave for taking a stand, Trail Times Letters to the Editor May 30).

The incentive to retire early would have to apply to the rest of

the public service as well. It will be a complex task to balance and requires skilful but not impossible manoeuvring.

The provincial government is working towards a budget surplus in 2013.

If it achieves this goal, it could then offer early retirement incentives thus replenishing and renewing the aging workforce with younger public service workers.

Program� or its equivalent though their recreation departments.

Each year, in these communities, individuals and families trying to survive on below the poverty line incomes go through a simple application process and are given free or low cost access to swimming and skating facilities as well as to other recreation programs. Depending on the municipality, fees vary from nocharge to a 50 per cent – 75 per cent reduction, the basic idea being that every resident has access to recreation they otherwise couldn’t possibly afford.

We all know that being physically active is a really good way to help us out of depression, children need to be able to play with their peers at the swimming pool and ice-rink, older people with arthritis and other disabilities benefit hugely from a soak in a warm pool or an aqua-fit program ‌the list goes on and on.

The best part of this program is that it is essentially no-extracost. Without extra help, people living on low incomes don’t use the recreational facilities and programs anyway, so giving

them access isn’t going to cost government any lost fees.

So how about it? Wouldn’t it be great if every child, no matter their parent’s income could take part in recreation programs and go swimming with their friends in the pool this summer? And it would be a huge gift for women in the Transition House and Nova Vita Programs to be able to use the facilities in the gym on a regular basis. And what a great way to help us become truly family and senior friendly communities. Revelstoke does it as part of their extraordinary efforts to foster healthy children.

Local government can help poverty stricken with access to recreation facilities According to a recent article in the Trail Times re the Skool Aid project, at least 112 students from the Greater Trail needed a donation of basic school supplies so they could be fully prepared for the beginning of the school year.

In the face of the total inadequacy of government support for low income families, there is no question this project is a very helpful and needed response from our generous community.

However, it is obvious that more action is urgently required if people of all ages living on very low incomes are going to have a chance to lead healthy, productive and hope-filled lives.

We suggest there is something that local government could do right now that would make a huge difference for residents. And, the best part is it wouldn’t cost the municipalities one extra penny (or make that a nickel).

Communities in the Greater Trail area could follow the lead of Castlegar, Nelson, Creston, Revelstoke, Prince George, Vancouver, Mission, Surrey and numerous other municipalities and set up a “Leisure Access

PEOPLE MICHELLE OBAMA

Daughters need thick skin for election campaign THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - Michelle Obama says her daughters are learning that even the kids of politicians have to have a thick skin.

“Politics is tough,” the first lady said Tuesday.

“That’s just sort of the nature of the beast.”

But she said daughters Sasha and Malia, at ages 10 and 13, also know that no matter what happens in the November election, “their life is good either way.”

Mrs. Obama chatted about family life, this year’s re-election campaign and what’s not ahead for her - a career in politics - during a round of interviews promoting the release of her new book on the White House garden.

As for the personal attacks that swirl around her husband in a campaign year, the first lady said: “You just sort of have to have a thick skin in this thing. And your kids do too.”

Malia and Sasha “understand that their world is secure no matter what,” Mrs. Obama said on ABC’s “The View.” ”They’ve grown to understand that home is wherever we are. ... And Dad is always going to be Dad. So they’re good.“ The first lady left no doubt on the question of a political future of her own.

“Those are other people’s rumours,” she said.

“I have no interest in politics. Never have. Never will.”

She added: “The one thing that is certain: I will serve. I will serve in some capacity.”

Mrs. Obama said her work to support military families “is a forever proposition. They will always need a voice out there.”

Later, with Jon Stewart of “The Daily Show,” Mrs. Obama talked about the virtues of fresh veggies and wouldn’t bite at a Stewart suggestion that she use her higher poll ratings as a weapon in any argument with her husband.

“I don’t wield it over him,” she said. “One of the things I’ve seen over the last 3 1/2 years, I’ve seen what it takes to be president. I kind of watch this thing pretty closely. You know, the president is getting all the hard decisions, where there is no easy answer.”

Two Canadians out of Spelling Bee THE CANADIAN PRESS WASHINGTON - Two Canadians were eliminated on Thursday from the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Twelve-year-old Mignon Tsai of Abbotsford, B.C., was tripped up by the word “macropodid” during the nail-biter of a semifinal.

In the next round, Jennifer Mong of St. John’s, N.L. - after nailing the word “lymphopoiesis” earlier in the day - flubbed the spelling of “vellon” by adding an “e” on the end, concluding her run at the famous spelling bee.

The girls were among 50 competitors to make it to the semifinals following two days of often tense competition that saw spelling bee officials challenge them with progressively more difficult words as the contest proceeded.

The giant canvas, measuring 100 meters by 70 meters and weighing nearly two tons, was officially unveiled last week and will be displayed until the end of June. The Queen is marking her Diamond Jubilee and celebrations reach a peak with a four-day weekend of events from June 2-5.

Pianist prepping for big Beethoven marathon THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Classical pianist Stewart Goodyear is gearing up to make history by teaming musical skill and physical endurance in a 10-hour performance of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas.

To perform the 103 individual movements in one day has been a dream since he was a young child, Goodyear said in an interview after a rehearsal for reporters at Toronto’s Koerner Hall, where the marathon will take place.

“Beethoven was my first love and Beethoven was a composer who compelled me to be a pianist. I think I heard Beethoven almost since I was born and his music has been with me since.”

Goodyear is performing his “Beethoven Marathon” in Toronto on June 9 as part of Luminato, a multidisciplinary festival of arts and creativity that runs June 8 to 17.

The sonatas of Beethoven,

said to be a pinnacle of the solo piano repertoire, lend themselves to the one-day extravaganza, which will take place in three concerts.

“I just don’t see other composers in a one-day event like this composer,” said Goodyear.

“Like I wouldn’t do a complete one-day set of Mozart sonatas. I adore Mozart and I adore his sonatas, but somehow with Beethoven, they feel like they’re a song cycle in which every song paints a different picture of humanity and that’s what I intend to show June 9.”

The musician performed movements from three of the sonatas in Koerner Hall which is attached to the Royal Conservatory of Music, a stone’s throw from where he grew up in the Annex area of Toronto.

“I am absolutely thrilled and honoured to present this lifelong dream of presenting this marathon in the way that

I saw it when I was around three years,” the pianist said.

Goodyear’s father died a month before he was born, but he left behind a wide range of music that captured his precocious young son’s interest.

“I grew up surrounded by music. I came from a very eclectic musical background,” said Goodyear, who is also a composer. “My father had LPs ranging from Cat Stevens to Led Zeppelin to the Rolling Stones to the Beatles and I was listening to those LPs as well as two boxes of records.

One box were the complete Tchaikovsky symphonies and the other box was Beethoven.

“And somehow after listening to those two boxes of records that’s when I decided, around age three or four, that’s when I decided I wanted to be a classical musician.

“There was no other reason why I wanted to be so immersed in classical except for the fact that I just loved

the music and I wanted to be a part of it.”

He performed his first Beethoven piano sonata at age 10 for a Kiwanis Music Festival and he hasn’t looked back. Goodyear, now 34, studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music before receiving a bachelor’s degree from the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and then a master’s degree at the prestigious Juilliard School of Music in New York.

Goodyear equates getting ready for the marathon to boot camp and he said he’s training like an athlete, building up stamina through cardiovascular exercises and strength training for his upper and lower body.

He consumes no empty calories, little bread and lots of vegetables, salads, protein and takes multivitamins.

The whole experience is “not really a challenge as it is a ride.”

Hospice care – an exploration

t is not uncommon for people to have misunderstandings about what Hospice is or does. In modern society the topic of end-of-life care is often avoided until it touches our life personally.

The first hospice was believed to have originated in the 11th century, and hospices in centuries following were places of hospitality for the sick, wounded, or dying, as well as those established for travelers and pilgrims.

Modern hospice services were pioneered in the 1950s in England by Dame Cicely Saunders with a focus on compassionate, medically appropriate and person-centered care.

Hospice has developed into both a style of care and a philosophy of care that centers on the provision of comfort and symptom control for those who have a life-limiting illness.

Symptoms can be physical, emotional, spiritual or social in nature, and all are addressed as needed.

The word palliative comes from the Latin palliere meaning to cloak or a specialized area of healthcare that focuses on relieving and preventing the suffering of patients.

The philosophical focus is to help the dying person live as fully as possible with the maximum quality of life that can be attained.

Hospice care can take place in a variety of locations. Larger centres may have palliative (from the Latin palliere - to cloak, a specialized area of healthcare that focuses on relieving and preventing the suffering of patients) care units or ‘freestanding’ hospice buildings with staff and facilities dedicated solely to palliation.

Hospice care can also take place in regular hospital units or residential care facilities where there may be a dedicated palliative suite or room.

Hospice care can also be given in an

Clay in the Potter’s Hand “Yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.� (Isaiah 64:8) Have you ever thought of yourself as a piece of clay in the hands of God? God is our potter and what a loving and dedicated potter he is! I am not sure if you have had the opportunity to watch a potter at work, but it amazes me that a lump of grey bland looking clay, can be transformed into an absolutely beautiful vessel. Sometimes as the vessel is being formed, rough marks appear and the potter smoothes them out.

God works with us in that same way to transform us into something beautiful. He handles us with love and care. He takes the time to allow us to be developed, shaped, and molded; and knows when we have developed rough spots which need to be smoothed out.

The phrase, beauty is in the eye of the beholder applies I think to the work of the potter. We

may look at something that a potter has made and think that it is ugly or perhaps useless, but the potter has made it, and therefore it is beautiful. We need to learn to love people for who they are and not what they appear to be from the outside. Just as the potter has spent much time working with each of us, every person is created by God and is beautiful in His eyes.

We will always be in the hands of God. God’s work in our lives is never done. He did not create us simply to place us in the world to be ignored but continues to watch over us, being a part of our lives, seeking what is best for us.

God will never give up on us but will give us the time and attention that each of us needs.

May we be willing to be like clay in the potter’s hands, allowing God to work in our lives, to strengthen our weaknesses, to smooth out those rough spots, to be the vessel God wants us to be.

Three local CWL councils amalgamate TRAIL –On May 26 a meeting was held at OLPH church in Trail to conduct a formal vote for the amalgamation of the three local Catholic Women’s League councils: Our Lady of Perpetual Help Council, St. Francis/St Anthony’s Council and St. Joseph’s Council.

In attendance to oversee the voting procedure was the Nelson CWL Diocesan president, Beth Bosch along with Past President Rose Sehn.

The vote was overwhelmingly passed with a vote of 46-7.

The National head quarters of the Catholic Women’s League which is located in Winnipeg, will be notified of the amalgamation.

All members of the three councils will automatically become members of the new one and those members in attendance will be charter members of the new council.

The new CWL council will be known as Trail Catholic Community Council and took effect on Monday with the first official meeting being in January 2013.

The newly elected executive will be President: Teresa Mandoli, Secretary: Grace DeBiasio and Treasurer: Ivana Rhodes.

Pope breaks silence over Vatileaks scandal THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY Pope Benedict XVI broke his silence Wednesday over the leaked documents scandal that has convulsed the Vatican, saying he was saddened by the betrayal but grateful to those aides who work faithfully and in silence to help him do his job.

Benedict made his first direct comments on the scandal in offthe-cuff remarks at the end of his weekly general audience. He lashed out at some of the media reports about the scandal, saying the “exaggerated� and “gratuitous� rumours had offered a false image of the Holy See. The Italian media have been in a frenzy ever since the pope’s butler, Paolo Gabriele, was arrested last week after Vatican investigators discovered papal documents in his Vatican City apartment.

He remains in detention and has pledged to co-operate fully with the investigation.

Rumours have been flying in the press about possible cardinals implicated in the probe, pending resignations and details of the investigation that even

Gabriele’s lawyers say they haven’t heard. The Vatican spokesman has spent much of his daily briefings in recent days shooting down the various reports.

The scandal represents one of the greatest breaches of trust and security for the Holy See in recent memory given that a significant number of documents from the pope’s own desk were leaked to an investigative journalist. The Vatican has denounced the leaks as criminal and immoral and has opened a threepronged investigation to get to the bottom of who was responsible. “The events of recent days about the Curia and my collaborators have brought sadness in my heart,�

Benedict said at the end of his audience.

But he added: “I want to renew my trust in and encouragement of my closest collaborators and all those who every day, with loyalty and a spirit of sacrifice and in silence, help me fulfil my ministry.�

Few people think Gabriele worked alone, and his promise to co-operate with the investigation has fueled speculation that other might be arrested soon.

Your humble servant awaits your next request

T

he auto mechanic’s trade is a very humbling profession.

How can a mechanic be cocky when challenged by many seemingly simple tasks?

Our customers expect simple answers to their automotive questions.

Simple solutions to their seemingly simple problems. Sometimes what seems obvious ….. well, let me explain.

You bought some wipers for your own vehicle. Simple item.

Easy install. Not! You could not get the old wipers off never mind putting the new ones on. So what next? Off to your mechanic with a humble request. “Can you put these wipers on

for me?” Your mechanic looks at you sheepishly.

“Ahhh ….... sure.”

Wipers are my nemesis. Unless the wipers are purchased from the original equipment manufacturer they may not even fit the application. Wiper removal is not in the owner’s manual nor is it in the professional repair manual. I guess it is just too simple. Then, why does it present such a challenge?

Some old designs employed tiny mounting screws. Left long enough and these screws are rusted solid.

Toyota targets new markets THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TOKYO - Toyota is looking to emerging markets for growth, targeting 50 per cent of its global vehicle sales in such countries by 2015, and rolling out eight compact models over the next few years.

But Toyota Motor Corp. Executive Vice-President Yukitoshi Funo said last week the company won’t even try to compete in supercheap models that are plentiful in developing nations.

Toyota Motor Corp. already sells

more than 3 million vehicles a year in emerging markets, making up 45 per cent of its global sales of 7.1 million vehicles.

Japan’s top automaker is aiming to add another million vehicles in annual sales from emerging markets with eight models, starting with the Etios sedan that went on sale in India in 2010.

Last Friday, Toyota said it had reached a “milestone” of 100,000 cumulative sales of Etios cars, which are all made in India.

Once removed installation is the next challenge. This is when your humble servant mechanic will excel. Forget instructions. Snap, snap, all done.

Not always.

Sneak a peek at the instructions. Study the instructions. Is there a YouTube video?

In this age of self service gas stations opening hoods can be a lost art. A lot of automobile owners have never opened their own hood. Is it possible that your mechanic is challenged by the simple act of open-

ing your hood? The interior hood release is usually an easy find.

Remember to check in the glove box. Not so easy sometimes is the safety catch. Last resort to find the catch usually involves an inspection lamp and some serious investigation.

Think you could open any hood in the business no problem?

Let me know the first time you attempt to service a Porsche Boxster.

Make sure it has an owner’s manual.

Resetting maintenance service indicators is a relatively new challenge for your mechanic. Many vehicles have the procedure in

the owner’s manual.

Others just send you to your dealer who has the special tool. Remember your independent mechanic has those tools as well.

As an apprentice in a European car specialist shop I was introduced to maintenance service light resets early in my career.

The craziest had to be Volvo 240s. These vehicles required removal of the instrument cluster (the unit that has your gas gauge, speedometer, tachometer etc. in it) and then you had to push a button in the back of it.

This tool oriented procedure has now been

usurped by the new age video screen with buttons and knobs. Key on, door closed, click, scroll, click, click, press and hold, ten seconds release. Didn’t work.

Ahh, the emergency brake has to be on.

How come the use of these never seems intuitive to me?

I wish the Apple user interface was part of every vehicle.

Then I might have a chance.

THE ANDY BILESKY NINE

Saints sign Ice Hawks CASTLEGAR - The Selkirk College Saints Men’s Hockey program keeps growing as the Saints announced a pair of converts this week.

Forwards Cody Fidgett (Richmond, B.C.) and John Proctor (Port Moody, B.C.) committed to attend Selkirk College and compete for the Saints in the upcoming B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League season.

Proctor and Fidgett recently completed their junior careers with the Pacific International Junior Hockey League’s Delta Ice Hawks, who they helped to a 2012 PIJHL Championship and a third place finish at the Cyclone Taylor Cup. “John and Cody both bring championship experience with a topend junior organization in Delta,” says Saints head coach Jeff Dubois.

“John is a big, strong player with a high skill level who always competes hard and Cody is a dynamic guy offensively who was probably the best skater in Junior B hockey this past season.”

Proctor, a 6-foot-4 winger, scored 16 times and totalled 41 points in 36 regular season games last season and tacked on another 14 points in 23 playoff contests.

Over three-plus junior seasons split between the Ice Hawks and North Delta Devils, Proctor scored 43 goals and totalled 93 points in 116 games. He also saw 49 games of postseason action, including a trip to the PIJHL finals in 2010, picking up 18 points overall.

COMOX - BC Hockey announced Wednesday that the Comox Valley Glacier Kings will host the 2013 Cyclone Taylor Cup. The Junior B B.C. Championship will be held April 11-14, 2013 at the Comox Valley Sports Centre.

The Cyclone Taylor Cup serves as the BC Hockey Championship for Junior B Hockey.

The Champions from the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL), the Pacific International Junior Hockey League (PIJHL), and the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League (VIJHL) along with the host team compete in the Championship tournament.

SPORT FISHING ON THE FLY

A long run on the fly for Freschi

BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor

For some people fishing is a weekend pastime, but for fly fishers like Don Freschi it is a way of life, and this year marks the 18th season the Trail native’s “Sport Fishing on the Fly” TV show (SFOTF) hits the airwaves.

Freschi began taping the show in 1995 with good friend and fellow curler Grant Fines. Don and his brother Dale grew up in Trail, spending countless hours prospecting local waters with an artificial fly, so with Fines’ interest in videography, a flyfishing show seemed the next logical step.

“Grant was doing some volunteer work with Shaw Cable, so me and him both went out there started doing a little work on it and just put it out on Shaw, and everybody liked it so then we took it further,” said Freschi. “I always wanted to fish for free, so that was a good way to do it.”

Since it’s humble beginnings filming on local lakes and streams, it has developed and matured, and is now one of the longest-running syndicated broadcasts on television, airing on CHECK TV and the World Fishing

Network (WFN).

“It’s a lot more fluid now - people are enjoying it. And you know, you get your following, it’s well established and it makes it easier for sponsorship.”

2008 U.S. financial crisis, the model changed, networks introduced a barter system, and the onus was put on the show to attract sponsors.

“They (the networks) don’t pay you to put the show on, you actually have to generate the revenue from the commercial time,” said Freschi.

“You know it’s changed quite a bit, but for a show like ours it’s perfect.”

Freschi has a well-established core of sponsors and despite a busy career at 5-N Plus, he manages to create 13 episodes per season. Most are devoted to local waters, but also include trips to remote northern locales and some with a tropical flavour.

ledgeable hosts, excellent tips and fantastic fishing spots.

In year 16, Fines left Trail to pursue an opportunity south of the border, but Freschi has maintained the integrity of the show including such co-hosts as brother Dale, D’Andrea, and the ubiquitous Brian Chan of the Fresh Water Fisheries Society of B.C. Chan is a senior biologist, writer, and premier authority on still-water fly fishing, and his articles and images are staples in fly-fishing magazines across North America.

The show is also edited and marketed by another Trail product - Kale Stanchuck’s Ten 23 Media - and with many of the episodes devoted to Kootenay and B.C. locations, it remains true to its local heritage and goal of promoting the area.

SFOTF also has a pristine new website, where visitors can access shows, purchase DVD’s, learn new fly patterns from the always popular portion of “On the bench,” ask questions, and discover new places to throw string.

Check out SFOTF at www.sfotf. ca, or every Saturday at 2 p.m. on CHECK TV, or on the World Fishing Network.

SPORTS DETROIT RED WINGS

Living-legend Lidstrom calls it a career THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT - Nicklas Lidstrom retired Thursday after 20 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, ending one of the best careers in NHL history.

The four-time Stanley Cup champion and seven-time Norris Trophy winner as the league’s best defenceman fought back tears as he made the announcement.

“My drive and motivation are

not where to need to be to play at this level,” Lidstrom said.

The 42-year-old Swede set an NHL record by playing 1,564 games with a single team. He had put retirement on hold in each of the previous two years by signing one-year contracts.

“I’ve been dreading this day since I became manager in 1997,” Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said.

Lidstrom had 34 points and a plus-21 rating that ranked among the league leaders last season. He had 264 career goals with 1,142 points and a 450-plus rating. After being

“That didn’t sway me one way or another,” Lidstrom said. “A couple weeks after the season is over, you start working out. Once I started doing that I didn’t have the push I need and I can’t cheat myself.”

He plans to move his family to

Sweden and hopes to have an office role with the Red Wings.

“Retiring today allows me to walk away with pride, rather than have the game walk away from me,” said Lidstrom, whose oldest of four sons went to Sweden two years ago to attend school and play hockey.

Lidstrom was named the NHL’s best defenceman last year for a seventh time, matching Doug Harvey’s total and trailing Bobby Orr’s record by one. When Lidstrom won his final Norris Trophy last summer, he was a finalist for the 11th time in 13 seasons.

Defenceman Brad Stuart, who was his teammate the past fourplus seasons, said he was amazed at Lidstrom’s ability to make the right play on almost every shift

STANLEY CUP FINAL

Surprising start for Mets

Devils optimistic

NEW YORK - Few expected much from the New York Mets this season.

Then again, these aren’t exactly the Mets everybody expected to see.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis.

Mike Baxter. Jeremy Hefner.

4th Annual Cruizin the Columbia

Vinny Rottino, Rob Johnson, Jordany Valdespin, Omar Quintanilla, Mike Nickeas.

Who are these guys and how do they keep winning big league ballgames?

Two months into the season, the no-name Mets are one of baseball’s biggest surprises.

Led by David Wright, Johan Santana and a mystery cast of supporting characters, New York is 28-23 and only 1 1/2 games out of first place in the tightly bunched NL East.

“Obviously, we’re looking forward to getting some of our frontline players back. But what these guys have shown us is that they can play here,” secondyear manager Terry Collins said.

Turning to a string of subs and fill-ins, the Mets are almost a reallife version of “Major League,” the hilarious movie about a band of baseball rejects who

carry the Cleveland Indians to the playoffs.

About the only thing missing is Bob Uecker behind the microphone - or Wesley Snipes running sprints in his pyjamas.

No joke, though: New York is playing sound fundamental baseball.

“I think our minor league staff has done a great job of getting these guys prepared to come here,” said Collins, who also deserves plenty of praise. “I think one of the things that helps out is when they walk in that locker room and they look around and they see friends. They see guys they know. I think it makes a big difference.”

New York is minus three injured regulars: left fielder Jason Bay, shortstop Ruben Tejada and catcher Jose Thole.

Starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey is out for the season following elbow ligament replacement surgery.

“I’ve played with great players who made mistakes, but I can’t think of one game when I thought, ‘Nick just didn’t have it tonight,”’ Stuart said during this year’s one-series post-season. “He’s that same, steady, amazing defenceman every night. I think I’ve seen him out of breath maybe three or four times in a few years because he’s so smart, he gets himself in the right position to make a play.”

The four-time Olympian also scored the gold-medal winning goal for Sweden over Finland in 2006. He became the first European-born captain to win a Stanley Cup in 2008, six years after being the first from Europe to win the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoffs MVP.

THE CANADIAN PRESS NEWARK, N.J. - The New Jersey Devils played poorly and almost won.

Coach Peter DeBoer’s team looked to turn that into a positive following Wednesday’s 2-1 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final.

The Devils overcame a slow start to send the game into overtime, only to see Kings star Anze Kopitar decide the affair on a breakaway.

Thursday was a light practice day for the Devils, who were reading from the same page.

“Not playing our best game and still having a chance to win, that makes us feel pretty good that we can play better and be a little more successful,” said forward Travis Zajac.

“We had our chances in that game,” added forward Ryan Carter. “Outplayed or not, poor execution or not, we had our chance to win that game. We’ve got to look into that, stay positive, and try to find a way to win the next one.”

Game 2 goes Saturday at the Prudential Center.

“There’s a lot of room for improvement on our side,” said centre Adam Henrique.

“We’ll be better the next game,” promised Zajac.

The Devils pointed to poor execution, careless play with the puck and Game 1 jitters.

President and GM Lou Lamoriello spoke to the team after the Eastern Conference final about the distractions of the Cup. The team still felt nerves, however.

“The reality is, you know, until the puck drops and the games start, this is a different situation you’re dealing with,” said DeBoer.

“You have to handle it the best you can.”

REGIONAL Orphaned bear cub transported from Invermere to Smithers

An orphaned bear cub found on

Westside Road south of Invermere was transported by air to Smithers Wednesday for rehabili-

black bear is estimated to be 10 to 12 weeks old and had been on its own for approxi-

“We were monitoring it for the first few days just hoping the mother would come back,” Kruger said, “but after a few days of it being seen by itself, we had a good indication it was orphaned for whatever reason.”

After its capture, the bear cub was diagnosed as malnourished but otherwise healthy at the Invermere Veterinary Hospital by Dr. Mark Zehnder, who drove the cub to Cranbrook International Airport Wednesday morning for its transit to Smithers after it spent the night in the hospital’s overnight kennels.

But before leaving the valley, the orphaned bear made the rounds to Windermere, Eileen Madson Primary, and J A Laird elementary schools yesterday afternoon when each student had the chance to see it sitting in a small cage in the back of Kruger’s pickup truck and ask the conservation officer questions.

“I wanted all the kids to have an opportunity to see a wild bear cub,” Kruger said. “Mainly, I just wanted to give all the young students of

Nothing has been learned about the mother, but since the cub was found near a roadway, she could have been involved in a collision with a vehicle.

However, if the mother was dead, a cub this age would have stayed with her body unless the body was taken.

The mission of the NLWS is to offset the human impact on orphaned wild animals, NLWS co-founder and manager Angelika Langen said. Bears that go into rehabilitation are usually orphaned due to human intervention, but sometimes it’s because of natural causes, she said.

“Next year in the spring we will be bringing the bear back and it will be released in the Invermere region again,” Langen said.

“Right now, [the Invermere cub] will go in with the cub from Chase so then when we drive down we’re going to stop in Chase, let the Chase cub go and then carry on to Inveremre and then at least they have some company on the trip.”

Talk to brother about interest in younger girl Dear Annie: I am a freshman in high school, and my older brother, “Adam,” is a junior.

Although I wouldn’t consider myself popular, I have a great group of friends.

Recently, I noticed that Adam is flirting on Facebook with a girl in my grade. For the most part, it’s innocent and playful, but it makes me beyond uncomfortable. This girl brags a lot about drinking and being sexually active.

Adam is a smart kid with a bright future ahead of him. I don’t want him involved with this girl, even if it seems innocent right now. To be honest, I think he’s using her because of her loose reputation, and I’ve lost respect for him.

How do I confront him about it without getting into an argument? I want him to know how uncomfortable it makes me feel. I’d like to tell my parents, but I don’t want to be a tattletale. Should I just mind my own business?

Tell him that his interest in this girl makes you question his integrity, and you hope he won’t use her to satisfy his sexual needs. Let him know it’s not only her reputation that is at stake. And point out that there is also a good possibility that any high school junior or senior boy who has sex with this girl could be charged with a crime because she is underage. It hardly seems

worth risking his future.

That said, let’s hope his interest in her is purely for the sake of friendship.

Dear Annie: Last week, I received a fancy wedding invitation.

The next day, the bride emailed, saying she hoped I could attend and is looking forward to seeing me at the wedding. Then she added that she hopes I don’t mind watching all the little kids at the ceremony and reception.

The bride is in great shape financially. Is it to be expected in this economy that one could be invited to a wedding only to provide a service? How should I respond? -- Kentucky Dear Kentucky: Even if you babysit for a living, the bride was terribly rude to invite you with the assumption that you should take on this responsibility. You have four choices: You can say yes to her proposition. You can say yes, but quote your fee for babysitting or tell her

that it will be your wedding gift to the couple.

You can turn down the invitation. You can accept the invitation, but tell the bride that you are not available to babysit -- in which case, please couch it in language that says you wouldn’t want to miss a moment of the event because you were distracted by the children.

Dear Annie: I totally agree with Judy Hou, who is trying to get readers involved with the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

We were taught in pharmacy law class that certain medications are classified by their potential for abuse and risk of physical or psychological dependence. Schedule 1 drugs have a high potential for abuse, have no currently accepted medicinal use and lack safety information. Drugs in this category include heroin and LSD. Schedules 2-5 also have potential for abuse and dependence, but have accepted

medicinal uses. These include Oxycontin, Percocet and Valium.

I believe that nicotine should be included as a Schedule 1 substance and be declared illegal. Unfortunately, politics will prevent this from happening, and

we will have to continue to encourage our youth to make intelligent decisions regarding cigarettes, drug and alcohol use. I am very thankful that Florida has many smoke-free places to eat and work. -- A Florida Pharmacist

Dear Pharmacist: Making a substance illegal will not prevent people from abusing it.

While we understand your position, we are certain to hear from a great many readers who disagree with your solution.

LEISURE

YOUR HOROSCOPE

By Francis Drake For Saturday, June 2, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day to address matters regarding shared property, wills, inheritances and insurance matters.

Anything that involves how you share wealth or debt with others will be your focus.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You have to compromise with others today because the Moon is opposite your sign.

That’s how it works. In two weeks, everyone will have to cooperate with you when the Moon is in your sign!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Use today’s energy to get better organized. Tidy up magazines, books and papers, of which you have many! (Tidy surroundings will make your mind feel calmer.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Enjoy sports, flirtations, social occasions and playful

times with children. Today is a day to put pleasure above work.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Life has been so social lately; you need to rest at home. Choose today to catch your breath and have gentle discussions with family members. This will rejuvenate you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) People notice you more than usual because the planets are high in your chart now. And today is especially busy! Do your best to keep your cool.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Because you’re intrigued by travel, foreign places, exotic situations and new knowledge, you might want to buy something unusual today. It’s the next best thing to actually visiting someplace, isn’t it?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today the Moon is in

your sign, which makes you luckier than the other signs.

However, it also makes you more emotional. Just be aware of this.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) With such a heavy focus on partnerships and close friendships right now, you need time alone to process information. Slip away somewhere private today, if you can.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Discussions with a female friend might help you get better organized, which is what you really want. Be open to suggestions from others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) An interesting day! You feel playful and flirtatious.

You’re enjoying yourself.

Today in particular, bosses, parents, teachers and the police notice you. (Oh my.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Even though your focus is on home, family and your domestic scene now, today you feel a need to break free!

You want to do something different. (Why not be a tourist in your own city?)

YOU BORN TODAY You like puzzles and mental challenges because you’re an excellent problem-solver. In fact, you often help others solve their problems as well.

DILBERT

MOTHER GOOSE & GRIMM

SALLY FORTH

You like activity, stimulation and a challenge. (Your life is never dull.) Your adaptability and resourcefulness make you an asset to any team.

You will enjoy your year ahead because you will study or learn something valuable to you.

CLASSIFIEDS

SUNDAY/MONDAY HOROSCOPE

By Francis Drake For Sunday, June 3, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Because your powers of concentration are excellent today, choose routine work you might be avoiding.

You’ll be surprised how easily you will accomplish your task.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Focus on long-range solutions for your financial situation today. Think about what you want for your financial security five or 10 years down the road.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Discussions with others will be practical and profitable today. People are less concerned with today’s gratification and more concerned with tomorrow’s productivity.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Research will go well today.

You won’t overlook details, because it will be easy to keep your mind on what you’re doing. This will certainly get

you results.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Discussions with someone older or more experienced will help you today. Why not stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you? (You don’t have to reinvent the wheel.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Discussions with bosses, parents, teachers and the police will be practical and worthwhile today. People want solutions and answers to their problems.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is an easy day to study.

Explore any topic that interests you. This is also a good day to make long-range travel plans.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Focus on details about shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt. You have the patience and concentration to deal with lots of details, and you won’t make a mistake.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) An older friend might have advice for you today. Why not listen? You don’t have to do what this person says, but you can find out what he or she has to offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a productive day at work! You’re in an orderly frame of mind and ready to tackle any task. Routine jobs won’t bother you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Sit down with romantic partners to discuss the division of labor or how to share expenses. Similarly, couples might want to discuss how to sensibly educate and care for their children. Everyone is in a practical frame of mind.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Map out a future plan on how to best approach doing home repairs today.

Hopefully, family members will be supportive. Talk to someone older or more experienced to get his or her input on how to begin.

YOU BORN TODAY You have excellent verbal skills.

You’re witty, intelligent and a strong communicator. You know how to use your words to get a desired effect or make an impression. Plus you’re highly convincing! You have much to look forward to in the year ahead because this could very well be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big!

Birthdate of: Rafael “Rafa” Nadal Parera, tennis player; Josephine Baker, entertainer; Penelope Wilton, actress.

For Monday, June 4, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be careful, because today’s Full Moon is an accidentprone day for you. Therefore, slow down and take it easy.

Pay attention to everything you do.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Financial stress might arise because of today’s Full Moon.

Avoid hasty decisions about money and cash flow. Don’t spend money under any kind of pressure.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Difficulties with others might arise today because today’s Full Moon is the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year. Be aware of this; be gentle and cooperative.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Naturally, you feel emo-

tion building up within you today. Be aware of this and don’t overreact, especially if you think someone has slighted you. The Full Moon could cause you to inflate things.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Disagreements with others, especially in group situations, are likely, because of today’s Full Moon. Since you’re aware of this, you can avoid getting caught in a squeeze play.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Avoid sensitive discussions with bosses, parents, teachers and the police. It’s a Full Moon today, and people are a bit on edge. Play it cool.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Take note: This is an accident-prone day because of today’s Full Moon. An accident does not have to happen; but it can happen if you are distracted or emotionally upset.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Disputes about shared possessions, loans, inheritances and shared property are likely because of today’s Full Moon.

Knowing this, you can avoid these discussions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) The only Full Moon all year in your sign is taking place today. That’s why you feel extra emotional and perhaps impatient with others. Cool your jets. This subsides in 48

SATURDAY’S CROSSWORD

hours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Quite likely, you feel restless in a general way. You have that feeling you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Don’t worry -- it’s just the Full Moon today. This will be over in a day or two.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be easygoing with others today, especially in group situations, because the Full Moon makes everyone tense.

Keep things light.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Avoid disputes with parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs, because today is the Full Moon. If things get tense, just walk away. Do yourself this favor.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re fast thinking and intuitive.

Whether you choose to or not, you attract attention. You have high standards for yourself; you love to constantly be learning. Because you’re a hard worker, you throw yourself enthusiastically into projects. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will diminish or end to make room for something new to enter your world.
