Trail taps into water conservation BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
How much water is being used changes drastically during the summer, but a group of water ambassadors are encouraging residents to use water more efficiently this season. The Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) introduced a smart water program in 2009, but this is the first year that Trail has tapped into it. Three water ambassadors have been assigned to educate communities about water conservation, as well as offer free residential landscape and irrigation system audits for the summer. There are 12 communities across the Columbia Basin that are currently participating in similar programs. “(Their) primary goal is to reduce peak water consumption in the summer months (because) this is when the highest amount of water use occurs,” said Betty Anne Marino, promotions coordinator for the City of Trail. “It’s largely due to outdoor watering.” Marnie Kavanagh (Rossland), Diana Lupieri (Montrose/Fruitvale) and Ryan Macklon have been hired to get the word out. “I’ll be riding around on my bike basically going door to door,” said Macklon. “We’re trying to sign up people for lawn and garden assessments
ler system to check for any damage, including misalignment causing overspray, head to head coverage, and the pressure on sprinkler heads. “It’s like being a consultant,” said Macklon. “We don’t do any repairs, but we can give them advice. The local water ambassadors collaborate to create public displays and raise awareness about the importance of water conservation in the community. “A lot of people don’t even know how their automatic sprinkler systems work, right? They just get somebody come in and install it for them and a lot of people aren’t sure of how to operate it so we can work with them and teach them how to use their system and how to use it most effectively to save water.” Another aspect of the water ambassador job this season is to give public demonstrations about water conservation topics, including xeriscaping. Upcoming demonstrations begin at the Waneta Plaza Sidewalk Sale on June 17 BREANNE MASSEY PHOTO between 11 a.m. and noon Ryan Macklon extracts a soil sample he’ll use in the free lawn to 4:30 p.m. They will also be appearing at the Esplanade assessments provided by local water ambassadors.

The problem has been growing ever since.” McKenzie worked in Northern Ghana and witnessed a community filled with vulnerable people and returning to life in Canada was a huge adjustment. “We have so much and we have no concept of the people there who have so little,” said McKenzie.

Positive outlook for Lower Columbia region economy BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
There is no bust apparent in the economic boom that is gripping the Lower Columbia region, according to a recent economic outlook released by the Lower Columbia Initiatives Corporation. Driven by metallurgy and healthcare— with over three quarters (2,500) of
those in Trail working for either Teck Trail Operations or the Interior Health Authority—the area’s residents have enjoyed wages and employment opportunities that have proven to be recession resilient. And those industries are rosy right now, a factor that has helped Trail weather the recent financial downturn that has afflicted most
areas of the West Kootenay, said Sandy Santori, the executive director of the Lower Columbia Initiatives Corporation (LCIC). In the LCIC’s “2012 Economic Outlook” the economic future of the region is positive, he said. “With over $1.25 billion in projects currently underway, the 2012 Economic Outlook … can be summar-
ized as an economic boom in the short-term, and as stable with steady incremental growth in the longterm,” Santori said. He noted that the metallurgical sector has experienced consistent growth in Trail, bucking a trend of downsizing across the industry, as illustrated by the signing a new five-year agreement between Teck
and its two biggest unions last Friday. The economic marketing analysis done by the MMM Group out of Kelowna for the City of Trail’s “Downtown Plan” said the long history of Greater Trail’s two major employers—having gone through various economic and political cycles—suggested the employment at the two organizations was

likely to remain stable. In the downtown plan, it was noted that Teck provided over 1,500 direct jobs in 2010, contributing to a wide range of indirect and trickle-down employment opportunities in Greater Trail. Teck’s contribution to the local economy was $200 million in 2009.

Terra Green Lawn Care features the expertise of former Rossland-Trail Country Club professional Jeff Papilion. That’s what we want.� The Papilion’s partnership with the Mackenzies ensures that the business will continue to serve its clients flawlessly during the ownership transition, and Papilion insisted that clients can expect to receive consistent customer service and lawn care maintenance as usual. “You can definitely tell a Terra Green lawn from one that’s not a Terra Green lawn,� he said. “The colour is immensely different, darker and thicker and it’s healthier. There’s virtually no weeds (on
them) at all.� Jeff’s extensive knowledge of managing golf courses, which included a stint as the head professional at the Rossland-Trail Country Club, has aided him in the transition of becoming a lawn care specialist. He’s all to familiar with the attention that a lawn requires to stay green. Lawn care and environmentally sustainable products are only part of the spectrum, he also has a greenthumb.

The Trail Maple Leaf Band will kick off the 2012 Music in the Park concert series Thursday night at Gyro Park. The band starts playing at 7 p.m.
Music in the Park returns Thursday BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
The sweet sounds of music are about to fill Gyro Park again. The Trail Maple Leaf Band is scheduled to open the Kootenay Savings Music in the Park series this Thursday night. Joe Fuoco will be orchestrating a series of show tunes and marching band standards at 7 p.m. in Gyro Park. The 2012 concert series is held every Thursday night until Aug. 30, except for Tuesday night performances on July 3 and 17. “The highlights would certainly be the July 3rd concert which is by the St. Albert Community Band,” said Ray Masleck the president of the Trail District Arts Council. “They’re a well established community band and there’s going to be about 50 players.”
The St. Albert Community Band has been on tour and in order to secure a show with this band, the Trail District Arts Council opted out of doing its’ typical Canada Day performance. “We’re looking forward to it,” said Masleck, “it’ll be a good concert.” The St. Albert Community band was co-founded by Trail native Gerry Buccini, a member of the band who still plays clarinet with the group. “Another highlight is the Kootenay Fiddle Camp instructors,” said Masleck. “It’s a long-standing camp that will return for a one-week workshop at Selkirk College with musicians from across the country (and) the workshop series will end with a final jam at the Music in the Park series on July 17.” Admission is by donation at the gazebo in Gyro Park. For more information, visit www.trail-arts. com.
Mega projects help power economy FROM PAGE 1 Santori also pointed to the $900-million Waneta Expansion Project, now in its second year of construction, on the new hydro-electric powerhouse and Teck’s $325-million construction initiatives—two new furnaces and a new lead-acid plant— as projects ramping up this year, likely creating
many new employment opportunities. The economy was also boosted by the performance of its regional airline, Pacific Coastal, that had a passenger load increase of 30 per cent in 2011, in part to the influx of employees and specialized expertise for the Waneta project. It was also announced that in 2012
Pacific Coastal would increase their capacity for flights by 60 per cent to handle the anticipated additional influx of employees and visitors to the region. LCIC is the economic development office for the Lower Columbia Region and is the result of a partnership between the City of Rossland, City of Trail, Villages of Warfield,
Montrose, Fruitvale and Electoral Areas A & B of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary. LCIC’s mandate is to provide economic development services within the Lower Columbia Region and to serve as the ‘first place of call’ as opportunities develop.

Grand Forks hosted this year’s B.C. Rural Communities Summit at Grand Forks Secondary School from June 7 to 9. The event brought over 100 people from around the province to attend multiple workshops and focused on networking with other communities. “It was great to have all that creativity in our town,” said Grand Forks Mayor Brian Taylor. “I did attend a number of sessions and it’s going to have an impact on us and hopefully everyone will also go away with things for their own community.” The summit allowed everybody to creatively think about successfully competing in the global market for business, stated Taylor. “It was a small town rural discussion so there was very little discussion about the big city problems,” he added. “A lot of the discussion focused on the challenges that small town communities face.” This year’s theme was focused on “Grassroots, Growing Sustainable Rural Communities,” and featured a keynote address by Selkirk College CEO Angus Graeme. Local speakers included Roly Russell and Frank Moreland. Russell discussed how revising the framework of rural economic development practitioners can strengthen rural economies, while Moreland discussed how to use a food value chain to explore economically rewarding strategies while staying local. Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Area C Director Grace McGregor hopes to have Russell present the same discussion to Christina Lake in the future. “I really enjoyed it and there
were some really good presentations,” McGregor said. “I think it was fairly well attended and quite frankly it’s held every two years, so everyone should try and attend the rural summit.” The workshops McGregor attended helped to reinforce some of her ways of thinking and gave her a more in-depth way of looking at things. RDKB Area D Director Irene Perepolkin agreed and felt there was a lot of opportunity for learning. “It was very successful with a lot of good workshops pertaining to regional areas,” Perepolkin said. “It was good for it to come to Grand Forks to allow people out of the area know what we have here and to come and visit.” Other workshops included issues surrounding tourism, using technology to support rural innovation, economic gardening and emergency response teams. First-time attendee Coun. Bob Kendel felt the workshops were informative as well. “There was a lot of good things that came out of it,” he said. “From my experience, based on my limited time in city council, is that it’s all networking and getting to know who does what. To take the city forward, it’s all about who you know.” Taylor was grateful to Boundary Community Futures for the pivotal role they played in bringing the B.C. Rural Summit to Grand Forks. “The City of Grand Forks is trying to create a healthy community and a healthy economy is a corner stone of it,” he concluded. “They are helping this community in promoting economic health and the initiatives they’ve taken.” The next B.C. Rural Summit will occur in two years, though no date or location has been set yet.
Millions orphaned by AIDS FROM PAGE 1 “And yet, they can be so happy. They can sing, they can dance and be tremendously hospitable and share what they have with their neighbors and with visitors.” According to the Stephen Lewis Foundation, 15 million children have been orphaned by AIDS. The Neighborhood Grans to
Grans aspires to help the whole community understand what the situation is like in Sub-Saharan Africa and how we can help. The Stephen Lewis Foundation launched the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign in 2006 and it evolved into a group of more than 5,000 women.

PROVINCIAL Whale dies after grounding on beach Stanley Cup riot charges reach THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER - A young humpback whale found entangled in fishing net has died after grounding itself on White Rock beach,
south of Vancouver. Department of Fisheries and Oceans marine mammal coordinator Paul Cottrell said the severely emaciated young whale

was first spotted as water receded from the sandy, tidal flats early Tuesday morning. Cottrell said the eight- to 10-metre long juvenile died just hours after beaching itself. “It had been struggling for a long time and likely hadn’t been eating for a long time,� he said. “There may be other underlying issues regarding the animal’s health as well as the fishing gear,� said Cottrell. “It had
been towing it, it was through it’s mouth.� Cottrell said experts will try to identify the whale from the patterns on its tail fluke. “That’s kind of a fingerprint we have to see where the animal is from. We’ll be taking DNA samples as well as other samples ... and hopefully we will be able to determine the individual animal because there is a photo ID catalogue with tail fluke patterns.�

Battle brewing over public sector cuts THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - One of the pillars of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s response to the global economic crisis takes centre stage Wednesday, as Ontario’s top court is asked to weigh in

Rentals scarce THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA - Oil exploration and job growth are fuelling demand for apartments in Saskatchewan. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. says the average apartment vacancy rate in the province’s urban centres fell from 2.5 per cent in April 2011 to 2.1 per cent last April. The most dramatic drop was in Swift Current where the vacancy rate fell from 9.6 per cent to 2.8 per cent. The corporation says increased drilling and exploration in the southwest, as well as a strong agricultural sector, contributed to the drop. Regina’s vacancy rate of 0.6 per cent is the lowest among all census metropolitan areas in the country. The corporation says rental units are in demand as more people move to Saskatchewan and because rising house prices have some renters postponing home buying.

March 2009 as the world economy collapsed. Essentially, the act rendered collective bargaining over wages largely moot by capping increases for about 400,000 federal workers at little more than nine per cent over five years, retroactive to 2006. “The government can’t arbitrarily say it’s only paying half as much for paperclips because there’s a recession,� Andrew Lokan, lawyer for the Association of Justice Counsel, said Tuesday. “To take aim at
wages the way it does, they need to pass through a standard of justification.� The association suggests the government was motivated more by political optics than fiscal imperatives. Savings under the act - estimated at a maximum $1 billion per year on an annual federal budget of $268 billion - were “dwarfed� by tax cuts worth about $21 billion, and government stimulus spending of about $40 billion between 2009 and 2011, the lawyers say.
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 ďŹ re and vandalism for the 2012 summer season and penalties/tickets will be issued to offenders.

Another Euro election decided by outside forces
I
t’s probably the first time that events in Spain have decided the outcome of a Greek election. Last weekend the European Union agreed to loan Spain’s nearly insolvent banks 100 billion euros on relatively easy terms. Syriza, the hard-left protest party that came from nowhere to dominate last month’s election in Greece, will therefore almost certainly emerge from next Sunday’s rerun of that election as the biggest party in parliament. The party that wins the largest number of votes in a Greek election gets an extra fifty seats, so Syriza will probably lead the next Greek government. It would then demand a renegotiation of the EU’s much harsher terms for bailing out the Greek economy – and it might even get it. That would prolong the agony of the euro, but it wouldn’t actually save it. The common currency is doomed, at least in its current form, precisely because countries like Greece and Spain were allowed to join the euro. It’s not that they were
more reckless and improvident than the northern European countries who were really guaranteeing the common currency’s value (though the Greeks certainly were). What dooms the euro is the fact that the southern European economies are far less efficient. The fundamental mistake was made in 1999, when the political attraction of a common European currency triumphed over the economic rationality that said countries with radically different economies should not be trapped in a single currency. The current financial crisis, which threatens to destroy Europe’s prosperity and even its unity, is an inevitable consequence of that original error. What happened to Spain illustrates the problem. Spanish governments were responsible in their euro borrowing: they never ran a deficit of over three per cent before the world financial crisis hit in 2008. The euro did, however, let Spanish consumers and companies borrow money at a very low rate of interest, since
GWYNNE
DYER World Affairs everybody assumed that the powerhouse economies of northern Europe were the ultimate guarantors of euro debt. The result was one of history’s biggest housing bubbles, a mountain of corporate debt as Spanish companies went in for headlong expansion – and huge exposure to bad risks by the Spanish banks that lent the money. In 2008 the inflated property values crashed and the foolish investments came home to roost. The Spanish government’s borrowing ballooned as it poured money into saving the banks – and when it could not raise any more funds either, the European
Union stepped in last week with 100 billion euros to stave off a default. Well, it had to. A Spanish default would bring the whole rickety structure crashing down, and nobody has yet figured out how to dismantle the euro without a huge amount of collateral damage. The EU is merely doing crisis management and has no strategy for fixing the euro (other than a unified European state, which is not going to happen). But what interests the Greeks is the terms of the EU loan to Spain. It was made directly to the troubled Spanish banks, with no obligation for the Spanish government to raise taxes or cut spending further. That is exactly the deal that Alexis Tsipras, the charismatic leader of the Syriza party, says he can get for Greece, and in this last week before the Greek election he will use the evidence from Spain to good effect. He will, of course, make no mention of the fact that Spain’s crisis and Greece’s are very different. Greek voters don’t want to hear about that. They
just want the pain to stop, and many of them believe Tsipras’s promise that a new government led by the Syriza party can renegotiate the terms of the bail-out so it hurts less. He may be right, at least in the short run. Even if there were some super-secret team of financial experts in Frankfurt working out how to wind the euro up without too much damage to the German economy, they would need to time their move very carefully. They would not want a Greek default to cause the euro to unravel prematurely, and a flat ‘no’ to Tsipras could bring that on very fast. In fact, there almost certainly is no such team. There is no ‘Plan B’, and all the EU authorities are doing is endless, day-to-day crisis management. One day it will fail, but they’re not ready to admit that yet. So the Greeks may actually win some shortterm relief by giving Syriza a mandate. Gwynne Dyer is a Londonbased independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Citizen of the Year kudos well deserved Ah, so that’s what the “Jewel� is, in the “Jewel of the Kootenays�, otherwise known as Warfield. Why, it’s our Trail-Warfield Citizen of the Year, Marg Taylor. What a deserving honour for Marg, and what a wonderful time for this to happen, during Warfield’s 60th Anniversary. My husband John and I met Marg five years ago when we moved from Vancouver and joined the Recreational Commission here in Warfield. Marg makes a difference in
this old world of ours, daily, volunteering her time unselfishly for many causes and events both in Warfield and in Trail. Yes, she makes a difference, and really folks, isn’t that what we all should be striving for? Before you go to bed at night, think back – did you help, did you give back to your community, did you make someone’s day better just by your smile, a quick hug, and a genuine concern and caring? Did you leave a trail of kindness? Marg Taylor leads a very meaningful life, and her dedica-
tion and hard work did not go unnoticed as she was chosen as this year’s “Citizen of the Year.� Marg, I am so happy that our “paths have crossed� and a heartfelt congratulations go out to you from both John and I and the Village of Warfield. If you want ton congratulate Marg or meet her, stop by this weekend for our Community Tea this Friday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. or at our Warfield Days on Saturday. Deborah Shergold John Crozier Warfield

fewer plastic bags, and since provincial approval might be required as B.C. municipalities are governed by the community charter. Some grocers here already charge a nominal fee for plastic bags and others donate a few cents to charity if customers bring and use their own bags, for example. The small mountain city of Rossland, in the West Kootenay, had a movement afoot in 2007 to boot plastic bags, the same time that Leaf Rapids, Man., became the first Canadian city with such a ban. The business community didn’t like the idea so the City hedged, but it didn’t deter residents trying to find ways to reduce the bags’ use. A group got a local credit union to buy 6,000 reusable
shopping bags and a local designed a graphic for them. They were delivered to all 1,600 residences, given away at special events and through businesses. Kamloops could take the community engagement angle one step farther with a contest asking kids to design a logo, have businesses and the City partner to buy blank reusable bags, and give them away in the schools. With the kids having a hand in their creation, the young ones will be invested in wanting to use the bag, reminding parents not to forget them in the back seat of the car. Plastic bags litter the roadways and are definitely an environmental problem, but it’s important to consider solutions rather than pushing through a sudden ban.

Bag ban not the answer An editorial from the Kamloops Daily News Toronto’s sudden move to ban plastic bags came as a shock to probably everyone but the City councillors around the table. Retailers weren’t consulted and are now scrambling to figure out how they’ll to manage the change, slated to take place in January. The mayor was taken aback, calling the rash move “the dumbest thing that council’s done . . .� Trying to reduce the use of plastic bags has been mulled here; a few years back, Coun. Arjun Singh tried to introduce a “plastax� but gained no support from fellow councillors. Not jumping the gun is wise, especially when there are options beyond a ban to encourage people to use

NIK WALLENDA
Tightrope walk dicey and pricey tion. The six-tonne cable he’ll walk on will be anchored deep into bedrock a few hundred feet back from both shores and will be held by steel support structures. While the walk initially was expected to cost about $1 million, unexpected, bigticket expenses have driven up costs, Wallenda said, including the need to fabricate two high wires instead of one. Initially, Wallenda intended to practice on the same cable he’ll perform on but he couldn’t find a space in Niagara Falls large enough to string it. That meant crimping the practice cable to shorten it and ordering a new one for the walk. “So that budget almost doubled,” he said. Then last week, the Niagara Falls, Ont., helicopter company he’d asked to fly a guide wire across the gorge, so that the actual cable can be pulled across, discovered it didn’t have the necessary Federal Aviation Administration permits for such an operation and Wallenda had to scramble to find a replacement company, in Pennsylvania. “You have to get a helicopter company last minute, that hurts,” Wallenda said. “There are things like that that come up that are completely unforeseen ... $50,000, $100,000. These are big, big line items.” Although the walk will be broadcast live on ABC, Wallenda said legal liability considerations prevent the network from specifically funding his preparations, materials and all the others costs that go his act. He’s hoping thank-you gifts for donors will push the Indiegogo numbers up.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. Walking a high wire over Niagara Falls isn’t only a dicey proposition, it turns out it’s pretty pricey, too. Daredevil Nik Wallenda estimates his history-making, U.S.-to-Canada walk by way of a cable strung over the brink will cost about $1.2 to $1.3 million. That includes fabrication and installation of the custommade steel wire, permits and security on both sides of the border, travel, and marketing. A deal with ABC to televise the event live during prime time Friday will offset some of his expenses, the 33-year-old Wallenda said. “But definitely not anywhere near all of it.” And the tab seems to grow by the day. “The hard part is prices have changed and gone up. There are things that can come up that are just completely unforeseen,” Wallenda said by phone from Branson, Mo., where he was juggling walk preparations with production of a stage show with his highflying family. Wallenda, who lives in Sarasota, Fla., is a seventh-generation member of the Flying Wallendas. There hasn’t been much time to line up sponsors the date of the walk was settled only about six weeks ago - so Wallenda is asking the public for donations. His video on the fundraising website Indiegogo had, by mid-day Tuesday, raised more than $15,300 toward a $50,000 goal. Wallenda plans to walk about 550 metres across the falls at 60 metres feet above the gorge bottom. If successful, he will be the first to cross over the brink

of the famous falls. Others have crossed over the gorge downstream but not for more than 100 years. “We need stuff like this,” Wallenda says on the video. “We need things to encourage people that the impossible is actually possible.” Wallenda has agreed to pay Canadian authorities $105,000 for things like extra security, crowd control, fencing and portable toilets for the estimated 100,000 spectators. He also must supply a $50,000 letter of credit, which would be used only
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HAVANA, Cuba - Cuban boxer Teofilo Stevenson, the three-time Olympic heavyweight champion with a devastating right hand and a gentlemanly demeanour, has died. He was 60. A statement read on the news Monday night said he died of heart disease. Considered by some to be the most accomplished
in the event of a water rescue, said Niagara Parks Commission Chairwoman Janice Thomson. Such a rescue is more unlikely now that ABC is requiring Wallenda to be tethered to the wire. To U.S. authorities, Wallenda paid a $5,000 permit fee and will reimburse New York state $150,000 for state police and transportation services, the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation said. He also was asked for a $25,000 deposit to ensure he restores the Niagara Falls park to its original condiamateur boxer in history, Stevenson first won gold in 1972 in Munich and followed that up in 1976 at Montreal. “The Olympic Games in Munich and Montreal are the fondest memories I have from my life, the best stage of my career,” he told The Associated Press earlier this year. In 1980, he won his third Olympic title in Moscow,
becoming the second boxer to win gold at three separate games after Hungarian Lazlo Papp. Felix Savon, Stevenson’s countryman, accomplished the feat in 2000. Known affectionately on the island by the nickname “Pirolo,” Stevenson was famous for his punishing right, polished technique, deft hand and footwork, and his sportsmanship.

BCHL
League sets new playoff format Smokies will battle for one of four spots in six-team Interior division BY GUY BERTRAND Times Staff
GUY BERTRAND PHOTO
The Junior Babe Ruth baseball playoffs got under way last night on several fronts including Butler Park where Troy Overn (above) led the Trail Nationals against Nelson. The playoff tournament continues throughout the week with the final scheduled for next week.
The BCHL annual general meeting provided a lot of talk, a few resolutions and some items still to be decided. Trail Smoke Eaters president Tom Gawryletz said there was a lot of discussion over the weekend in Richmond and some of the motions are being put to a vote that will be tabulated by the end of the month. “There was a lot brought forward,” said Gawryletz. From a fans point of view, the main topic was the playoff scenario. With division realignment already in place for next season,
which means Prince George and Chilliwack will be moving to the Mainland Division, last year’s format became obsolete. The Interior Division will have six teams while the Coastal Conference’s Mainland and Island divisions have five teams. The format agreed upon would see four teams in each division qualify for the playoffs. That will leave one team out of the post season in the Mainland and Island divisions while two teams will fall short of the playoffs in the Interior Division. The first two rounds in the Coastal Conference will be best-of-five series with the final a best-of-seven. In the Interior, all rounds will be best-ofseven. A motion that should receive nearunanimous support is
the elimination of the mandatory 16-year-old player on each roster. Some teams struggled to fill that spot last year as the young players either jumped to the Western Hockey League or returned to their minor clubs. The new motion would make have two players 17-years-old or younger mandatory on each roster. Staying with roster issues, the affiliate draft of 15-year-old players has been discontinued and roster size will increase from 21 to 22 players. The schedule is also taking shape with the clubs and league sharing the efforts this season. One change will see a major tournament, the BCHL Showcase, kick off the season in Chilliwack. The idea is to have all 16 teams playing in one location, which makes it easier
to attract scouts to one centre. Each team will play two games, which will count in the standings. That format worked well in Trail for the Smoke Eaters pre-season tournament. However, with the league creating its own tournament, Gawryletz said the Smokies would not be hosting its preseason event. Although that will be another blow to the Smokies’ bottom line, Gawryletz said after meeting will team representatives in Richmond, Trail’s financial fortunes could be a lot worse. “The Smokies were far from the only team losing money in the league last year,” he said. Financial statements from most teams, which are owned privately, are confidential and not available to the public.
Kings finally reach summit on road to respectability
I
couldn’t help but wax nostalgic as time wound down in the last game of the Stanley Cup final on Monday. Hockey Night in Canada announcer Jim Hughson started rattling off names of past Kings, stars who were floating on the outer edge of the hockey universe in California. Growing up in Ontario, I rarely watched the Kings, unless they were playing in Montreal or Toronto. But there’s certainly a few Kings’ names, local and beyond, that are in my memory bank. I knew they had some good players and some names stuck out like Swede Juha
Widing who was playing in the NHL in 1970 long before even Hall of Famers like Bjore Salming became household names. I don’t know what it was about him, perhaps it was his long hair, the fact that he was Swedish or just the matter that only L.A. would have a player with a name that people could barely pronounce. In those days it was an oddity to have an American player on teams in Chicago or Boston so leave it to L.A. to take it further. The Kings were more the goofy sidekick of the NHL in those days, much like their California Golden Seals counterpart. They provided good entertain-

BERTRAND Times in Trail ment, had colourful uniforms and had the odd good game against Montreal. Rogie Vachon was a star in goal, Butch Goring was making a name for himself before catapulting to the top when he joined the New York Islanders. They had a bunch of older defencemen, all
stars in my father’s day but aging stars during my time period, and a few good young French Canadian skaters highlighted by the likes of Marcel Dionne and, later, Luke Robitaille. But Los Angeles was never taken seriously in those days and they struggled for respectability even in the Wonder Years with Wayne Gretzky. Sure Gretzky’s arrival changed the hockey landscape in California and he scored a lot of points, but who didn’t in L.A? Bernie Nichols was a 70-goal guy and Dionne teamed up with Charlie Simmer and Dave Taylor to score at will. Despite everything
Gretzky brought to California all of the L.A. Kings highlights were more like flashes than extended bright moments. When Gretzky finally led his team to the top it was a stupid illegal stick call on Marty McSorley that undid all the great stuff Gretzky did in that memorable playoff run. It wasn’t quite Bill Buckner and the Boston Red Sox, but one moment overshadowed the team’s biggest accomplishment. The Kings were known as the team that came back with five-goal third period in the “Miracle on Manchester,” against the Edmonton Oilers in

another long shot in the field at Olympic Club, a burly, 42-year-old teaching pro from Ohio who got into this major on his 12th attempt. There are stories like that, players like him, just about every year in the U.S. Open. One putt that hung on the lip changed everything. Miller was famous even before he arrived. As he settled into his chair Monday morning, the USGA played a video that has gone viral. In a four-man playoff for three spots into the U.S. Open, Miller rapped a 20-foot putt from the fringe and watched it graze the front of the cup and stop there. He took one step, then two, and turned his back to the cup on the fifth step when gravity took over the ball dropped into the cup. The small gallery threw their arms in the air in disbelief, and Miller was awash with shock. Twelve years trying
to play in his national championship, never coming particularly close, and now this. “I could never have dreamed of qualifying for the U.S. Open in this fashion,” he said. Less than a week later, the video is closing in on 400,000 hits on YouTube. Miller, the golf director at Millcreek Metroparks in Canfield, Ohio, received more than a thousand text messages and emails. He called some of his colleagues who have experience on a national stage. One of them was George Bellino from Tippecanoe Country Club. “I asked George, ‘Do you have any advice?’ He said, ‘Yeah, stay home,”’ Miller said with a laugh. Not a chance. Miller was an alternate out of the first stage of qualifying and wasn’t even planning to show up at the sectional qualifier in Columbus, Ohio, except that he had never played Scioto
Country Club, where Bobby Jones won the 1926 U.S. Open and where Jack Nicklaus was raised. “We were actually debating going to the qualifier because I was an alternate,” Miller said. “We didn’t play a practice round. One of the reasons I did want to go is that I wanted to see the golf course.” Expectations were not terribly high until everything finally fell his way - a great day of driving, making enough putts, finishing on 141 and being told it probably wouldn’t be enough, finding out he was in a playoff, making a 25-foot par putt to stay in the playoff, and then the putt that decided to fall and fulfil a dream. Miller never imagined being compared with Tiger Woods, for the way the putt dropped was reminiscent of Woods’ chipin at the 2005 Masters. “You couldn’t script this story,” he said.

sional reporter came during an interview with Castlegar’s Gord Walker. He was playing for the Kings during the time of the Gretzky trade and he was one of the odd men out when the trade brought three new faces to the L.A. lineup. So there you have my Kings’ highlights summed up pretty quickly. Needless to say, it’s been a long road to respectability for the franchise. As one of the original expansion teams, I have an attachment to them just as much as another generation has for the Original Six. But teams from that
expansion such as St. Louis, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Minnesota were always considered hockey markets, just not the teams in California though. So hearing Hughson rattling off those longforgotten names took me back to the beginning. How back then, the rare televised games in L.A. always had the prerequisite shots of the beach, bikinis and palm trees. Hockey was the thing that didn’t belong in that picture. Not anymore. Now the image of the Stanley Cup will also belong in those shots. The sidekick has now become the star. Only in Hollywood.

LEISURE
Clear the air with medication-stealing friend Dear Annie: I had several surgeries during the past year and needed help from friends during my recovery. They have been generous with their time, caring for me and my three boys so my husband could work. They even helped with meals and chores. I have paid them in cash and gifts to show my gratitude. The problem is, I caught two of my friends stealing my pain medications. The first incident was so blatant that I immediately ended our relationship. I then caught the second friend skimming a few pills every visit. There is no mistake. After the first incident, I began keeping track, and it was clear that two pills were missing every time this particular friend visited. I know if I confronted him, he would deny it or blame someone else, so I haven’t bothered. Now my pills are locked up, which makes it inconvenient

MAILBOX

for me. But I can’t seem to forgive or forget. I feel violated and taken advantage of and can’t seem to move forward. Please advise. -- Out of Meds in California Dear California: If these friends are addicted to pain pills, they probably could not control themselves when access was so simple. You have taken the necessary steps to be sure there is no additional theft. However, it sounds as if you need to get this off your chest. If it will make you feel better, tell the second friend that you are aware that he stole your pills. State it as a matter of fact, not as a question, and suggest he get
professional help for his addiction. Don’t argue with him. Other than an admission of guilt or an apology, his response is irrelevant. This is for your benefit, not his. Dear Annie: My husband and I play golf once a week with three other couples, and all of us go out to eat afterward. We live in a retirement community with many restaurants, but we always go to the same few and always eat inside. I am cold in air-conditioned restaurants, so I prefer to eat outside. The others say it’s too hot, too buggy, too windy, etc., so I never get to eat where I like. I think we should rotate choosing restaurants so we each get a turn to select the one we want. What do you think is fair? -- California Dear California: Taking turns is fair, but it will only work if the others agree. So, by all means, ask them. But as uncomfortable as you are indoors, you can put
on a sweater or jacket to stay warm. Those who have a problem with heat, wind or bugs can do nothing about it. If your golfing buddies prefer not to change the current set-up, we recommend you save your outdoor dining for other occasions. Dear Annie: “My Heart Is Aching for Lonely Seniors” made a plea for family members to visit loved ones who are in a nursing home. I have a suggestion that has worked well for us. Four years ago, my mother had a stroke and now is mostly confined to her home. We installed a set of nine video telephones that allow Mom to see the kids and the kids to see her. I was surprised how well this works, and the “face to face” contact is great. The young kids like to show off for Mom and let her see their homework and projects, and of course, Mom adores seeing them.
Telephone calls are fine, but young kids don’t often have a lot to say. With a video phone (or Skype or anything else like it), the entire family can gather around to wave and say hi to Mom. It is almost like being there.
This is particularly good for family members who live out of state. It’s worked out great for us. -- G. Dear G.: Technology has provided wonderful ways to stay in touch. Thanks for the suggestion.

LEISURE
YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Thursday, June 14, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your imagination will influence your finances today, which is why you’re thinking about big, moneymaking schemes. It’s also why you’re tempted to spend too much on elegant luxuries. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re sensitive to the moods of others today. Naturally, people will eagerly talk to you because they sense your sympathy and compassion! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Because you feel sympathetic to someone, especially someone in need, you will put the needs of others before your own today. It’s sort of a Mother Teresa thing. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) If you can join forces with others today or be active in a charitable organization, you will find it extremely
rewarding. This is because your desire to help those in need is heightened. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Even if for just a brief moment, you will be noticed by others today. Quite likely, they will see you as someone who is caring and sympathetic. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a lovely day for you, because your appreciation of beauty is heightened. Give yourself a chance to enjoy beautiful things and beautiful places. Visit parks, art galleries, museums and beautiful buildings. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If sharing something with others today, you will be generous. You will certainly want to help those in need. Nevertheless, respect your own needs as well. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a good day to talk
to partners and close friends in order to establish a warmer bond with one another. People easily will be mutually sympathetic to each other. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might have a chance to help a co-worker today or, conversely, you might need help from someone. Fortunately, people are sympathetic with each other today.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This can be a wonderfully creative day for artists and anyone working with arts and crafts. It is also a rewarding day to help children in some way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Family discussions will be gentle and full of understanding today, because people are easily sympathetic. Stand ready to help someone
you love. After all, what’s family for? PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might spend a lot of time today daydreaming. That’s OK, because we all need mental-health days like this once in a while. YOU BORN TODAY You are tough, gutsy and resilient. You are purposeful and always ready to fight the good fight. You’re passionate, loyal and very articulate

A little more saturated ground gave way in Kimberley last week, this time a mudslife about a half kilometre up from the downtown station of the Sullivan Mining Railway. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a minor slide, says Society President Mick Henningson, but it did force closure of the railway over the weekend. The slide occurred on last Wednesday during heavy rains, covering the tracks in about a metre of mud and debris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We closed for the weekend for safety reasons,â&#x20AC;? Henningson said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect to be in operation again pretty quickly, but we kept it closed for the weekend just to let it dry out. Last year the railway was closed for a longer period during June as a much larger slide further up the Mark Creek Valley prevented operation. Up until this forced closure, Henningson says that the beginning of the 2012 season for the railway has been positive, with good numbers riding the rails. Although a special trip for convention-goers had to be cancelled Wednesday due to 1 C temperatures and snow.
