Ceremonial salute for J.L. Crowe graduates BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff

Imagine walking down a path that leads to volunteering in Fiji, becoming an astronaut or attending U of C and meeting a cowboy. Okay, maybe meeting a cowboy isn’t that big of a stretch for some of us but those were actually some the dreams expressed by J. L. Crowe’s graduates at the convocation ceremony on Friday night. The ceremony at Cominco Arena engaged a crowd of roughly 1,000 people with cheeky anecdotes, inside jokes and shed light on some of the dreams that the community has for the future.

“As we prepare to leave the Crowe and our memories behind, the one thing we will never forget are the personalities and the effect they had on who we are today,” valedictorian Erik Bullanoff explained while comparing his peers to shoes. He said that the patterns, shapes and styles of shoes could steer people in any direction they choose. In the end, choosing to make a move is totally up to you. Bullanoff said shoes could be lumped into three categories— kids, men’s or women’s. It wasn’t until the end of his high-school career when he reached yet another conclusion. He explained

that finding a shoe that fits is like finding a style that suits your individuality. “As we have grown and matured we’ve realized that what we had got was one wicked awesome shoe,” he concluded. “As Dr. Seuss said, ‘don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.’” Despite the matching blue caps and gowns, Bullanoff argued that his peers were not merely a group of “similarly packaged shoes stacked up in a store.” The J. L. Crowe class of 2012 is a group of hardworking individuals who dream about becoming influential members of society. The class dreams about careers

For others, it’s about world domination. But the faculty and guest speaker, Dr. Blair Stanley, wanted grads to focus on something a little bit simpler. Stanley encouraged grads to choose a home congruent to their lifestyle, find work that is meaningful to them, select a partner carefully and cope with adversity honourably. “Be thankful and humble,” he told them. “And do something that is more important than yourself.”

Unsuspecting boats are being pulled into the waters of the Columbia River as the river level continues to rise following a spat of warm weather and heavy rainfall in the last few days. Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue (KBRFR) responded to their second unmanned boat river rescue in the last week on the Columbia River just before 7 a.m. Sunday. KBRFR Capt. Jason Milne said the rescue proved to just be a boat someone didn’t tie off very well further upstream. By the time river rescue firefighters caught up to the boat near Rock Island they knew it wasn’t a race to save a life, said Capt. Milne. “Fortunately the owner of the boat responded to us when we were recovering the boat so we were able to downgrade it to boat recovery as opposed to river rescue,” he said. With a high water advisory in place for the West Kootenay the waters of rivers like the Columbia are moving fast and strong.

Every unmanned boat treated like rescue call House fire sends one man to hospital FROM PAGE 1

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

Thick smoke overcame a young man in his effort to extinguish a structure fire Saturday afternoon in his parents’ home, landing him in hospital suffering from smoke inhalation. The man had attempted to extinguish a kitchen fire that had broken out at 556 Binns St. in West Trail after it was called in around 1 p.m. No one was at home at the time the fire started, said Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue (KBRFR) Capt. Jason Milne. But when the family of three came home Saturday afternoon, however, they noticed the smoke billowing from outside their home while inside the fire was already engaged in the kitchen. “The son … attempted to put the fire out and received smoke inhalation in doing so,” said Capt. Milne. It took less than six minutes for KBRFR firefighters to knock down the fire, despite having to navigate the steep and narrow streets of West Trail to get to the home. Capt. Milne said there were many houses within a close proximity to the fire that could have presented a challenge had the fire been further engaged and spread. But with 12 members from Trail responding—and two from Warfield—the matter was quickly dealt with, said KBRFR Capt. Jason Milne. The matter is still under investigation by KBRFR members.

Some of the boats people have docked along the river’s banks aren’t tied off very well, said Capt. Milne, and the river is “grabbing them from the shoreline.” However, every call to the department on an unmanned boat has to be treated like a rescue call until they know otherwise, he said. “We don’t know why there is no one in that boat,” Capt.

Milne said. “If it is an unwitnessed call and people say they see a boat floating down the Columbia River we have to treat it as a rescue until we have more information.” Three members were on the water for the Sunday call, the same amount responding early last week when a 9-1-1 call on a capsized boat brought the rescue team out. Although river levels began to recede last weekend from

their peak, the heat and the extra moisture combined with still significant snow pack for West Kootenay rivers — including the Columbia, Kootenay and Slocan — to again reach their peak of the snow melt freshet season. The BC River Forecast Centre is still issuing a high stream flow advisory for the Kootenay River, which feeds into the Columbia River as it flows through Trail.

“During this period, rivers are full and have limited capacity to contain significant additional runoff from rapid snowmelt or heavy rainfall,” read the report. A short-lived high pressure ridge brought warmer temperatures across the province on Friday, and then transitioned into a low pressure system that dumped heavy rain over the weekend—up to 50 millimetres in some areas.

CRESTON

Ducks Unlimited to operate wildlife area BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Creston Advance

The Province of B.C. and Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) have signed a 30-year agreement to jointly operate the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area (CVWMA). In making the announcement on Wednesday, Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, said, “The B.C. government is committed to protecting this important ecosystem, and it welcomes Ducks Unlimited Canada’s involvement to help restore and manage the site over the next three decades. This agreement will greatly assist the operation of the Creston Valley WMA and further enhance its inter-

national reputation.” Under the agreement, DUC will inject $850,000 in 2012 to improve wetland habitats and upgrade the site’s water management. The work will include a detailed restoration plan, increased community engagement, a long-term strategic plan and an evaluation of public education and outreach programs. “It’s exciting to see a partner like Ducks Unlimited come in,” Regional District of Central Kootenay Area A director Larry Binks said Thursday. “DUC has the ability to spend dollars and the wisdom, knowledge and experience to do so wisely.” He said the immediate priority is the CVWMA “plumb-

ing” — gates, dikes, pumps and infrastructure that will keep the wetland in good operating condition — and to get local representation onto the current governing board. “This is a wonderful opportunity for the Creston Valley as a whole,” he said. “It will help attract tourism and make the area more user friendly by changing the way we do business.” Inviting local bids on contract work will be a priority, Binks added. “Ducks Unlimited Canada is looking forward to working with the ministry and CVWMA staff to restore and improve the site’s outstanding wetland habitats,” said Brad Arner, manager of provincial oper-

ators for DUC in B.C. “This area is home to hundreds of fascinating animal and plant species that will benefit from this partnership for many years to come.” Restrictions to vehicle access and user charges for fishing has put the CVWMA in the news in recent months. Among the many area residents who have protested the lack of a local voice on CVWMA’s governing board, Gord and Barb Ogilvie have been some of the most vocal in expressing their concerns. “We’re doing the happy dance,” Barb said this morning. “I think we are turning the leaf to its good side and it will be great to have a local representative on the board.”

VANCOUVER - B.C. teachers can withdraw from extra-curricular activities like coaching or participating in graduation ceremonies, but they can’t refuse to meet parents or attend other meetings that happen outside school hours, the Labour Relations Board has ruled. In a brief decision Friday, Ritu Mahil, the board’s vice chair, said the B.C. Teachers Federation is within its rights to direct its members to refuse to participate in activities outside of class time and that are “truly voluntary and extra-curricular.” “However, I find the union has declared or authorized an unlawful strike by directing or authorizing its members to withdraw from activities which, although they occur outside of instructional hours, may nonetheless be part of their work duties,” Mahil wrote. Those include participating in meetings with parents over student performance and kindergarten orientation, among other things. Melanie Joy, chair of the B.C. Public School Employers Association, said she’s pleased with the ruling, calling it a partial victory for employers. “The Labour Relations Board declared that the BCTF engaged in an illegal strike by directing its members to withdraw from those activities that are part of a teacher’s work,” she said. The ruling also pleased Susan Lambert, president of the teachers’ union. “This is a significant legal victory for teachers because it clarifies the distinction between voluntary and non-voluntary work,” Lambert said in a news release. “It reaffirms that the countless hours that teachers devote to extra-curricular activities with students truly are voluntary.”

Laws banning doctor-assisted suicide infringe on rights: court THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A B.C. Supreme Court judge has struck down the laws banning doctor-assisted suicide, calling the them discriminatory, disproportionate and overbroad. While B.C. Supreme Court Justice Lynn Smith declared the laws invalid, she also suspended her ruling for one year to give parliament time to draft legislation with her ruling in mind. However, Smith ruled one of the ailing plaintiffs, Gloria Taylor, will be given an exemption to that one-year suspension, allowing Taylor to seek an assisted suicide within the year if she wants one. Taylor, who has Lou Gehrig’s disease or ALS, joined the legal action last year saying she wanted the right to die with dignity and with the help of a doctor.

“She will be permitted to seek - and her physician will be permitted to proceed with - physician-assisted death under specified conditions,” Smith said of Taylor in her ruling. The ruling was immediately hailed by the B.C. Civil Liberties Association and condemned by the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition. Taylor issued a statement through her lawyer saying she is relieved. “I’m deeply grateful to have the comfort of knowing that I will have a choice at the end of my life,” she said. “This is a blessing for me. . . It allows me to approach my death in the same way I’ve tried to live my life, with dignity, independence and grace.” But Dr. Will Johnston said the ruling is alarming and said an appeal

is expected. “We would caution Canadians to be skeptical that they can achieve greater choice and greater autonomy at the end of their lives or at any other time of their lives by giving power and constitutional protection to those who would arrange your suicide or your death,” he said at a news conference outside the courthouse. “We think that this is naive.” In a 395-page decision, Smith said the provisions in the Charter of Rights unjustifiably infringe on Taylor’s rights to life, liberty and security of persons. She ruled the laws are discriminatory for those who are grievously ill or physically disabled who want to have some control over their circumstances at the end of their lives. The judge noted that the law doesn’t prohibit suicide, but those who are physically disabled can’t commit suicide without help. “The impact of the distinction is felt particularly acutely by persons such as Ms. Taylor, who are grievously and irremediably ill, physically disabled or soon to become so, mentally competent and who wish to have some control over their circumstances at the end of their lives.”

Police search for gun and vest belonging to deadly heist suspect THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - Edmonton police say they still have not found the gun and body armour they say belongs to the suspect in a deadly armoured car robbery. Supt. Bob Hassel says there is a team of five Edmonton detectives and three crime scene technicians in British Columbia scouring the truck Travis Baumgartner was in when he was arrested at a border crossing near Abbotsford Saturday afternoon. “My understanding is that we are just going to be beginning the search of the vehicle so we will have more to come at that time,� Hassel said Sunday. Baumgartner was a security guard with the company G4S and was wanted in connection with the shooting of four of his colleagues during an armoured car heist early Friday at the University of Alberta. He was captured by U.S. customs officers at a border crossing north of Lynden, Wash. The Alberta plate on his truck had been flagged in their system and he was taken into custody at gunpoint, but without incident. Border officials say he had more than $330,000 stuffed in a backpack.

“We had a notification on the licence plate, on his identification, on his driver’s licence,� Hassel said. “Quite frankly, I am very happy with the way that it ended - hat it ended peacefully.� Hassel says Baumgartner is currently being held at the RCMP detachment in Langley and is expected to be transferred back to Edmonton some time in the next week. Three of the guards died in the shooting, while a fourth remains in hospital in critical condition.

TORONTO - Inspectors with Ontario’s ministry of labour are spending Sunday combing through the wreckage of a stage that collapsed on Saturday during setup for a Radiohead concert in Toronto. They’re trying to find out what caused the stage to come crashing down on a handful of workers, killing one and injuring three others. Radiohead representative Laura Eldeiry confirmed the man killed was Scott Johnson, the drum technician for the British band. Ministry spokesman Matt Blajer says the massive structure is “still fairly unstable� and work is underway to make it safe. He says investigators are looking to see if safety regulations and standards were followed and staff properly trained.

T

he United Nations Stabilization Mission in Syria has suspended its peace mission. “The observers will not be conducting patrols and will stay in their locations until further notice,” said the commander of the 300-strong multinational observer force, Norwegian General Robert Mood. This decision by the observer force is fully justified: its observers were being prevented from visiting massacre sites by the Syrian army, and yet their mere presence created the false impression that the international community was “doing something.” So now the international community will be under even greater pressure to “do something” else about the Syrian tragedy. That means military action against the Assad regime – but the Russians will veto that. Russian diplomacy is not usually so clumsy. None of the Western great powers will actually send troops to intervene in Syria: the Syrian army is too strong, and the sectarian and ethnic divisions in the country are far too messy. So why don’t the Russians

just promise to abstain in any UN Security Council vote on military intervention? No such vote will happen anyway, and Moscow would expose the hypocrisy of the Western powers that are pretending to demand action and blaming the Russians (and the Chinese) for being the obstacle. It’s stupid to bring such opprobrium on your own country when you don’t have to, but both President Vladimir Putin’s elective dictatorship in Russia and the Communist Party in China fear that one day they might face foreign intervention themselves. There must therefore be no legal precedent for international action against a regime that is merely murdering its own people on its own sovereign soil. In reality, there is one kind of justice for the great powers and another for weaker states, and neither Moscow nor Beijing would ever face Western military intervention even if they were crushing non-violent protests by their own people, let alone drowning an armed revolt in blood. But we are dealing here with the nightmare fanta-

GWYNNE

DYER World Affairs sies of regimes that secretly KNOW they are illegitimate. They never acknowledge it in public, and they don’t discuss it directly even in private. But they know it nevertheless, and they understand that illegitimacy means vulnerability. It doesn’t matter that Russia or China can simply veto any UN resolution that is directed against them. It makes no difference that no sane government in the rest of the world would commit the folly of sending troops to intervene in either of these giants. Paranoid fears cannot be dissolved by the application of mere reason. The Russian and Chinese vetoes on the Security Council give them com-

plete protection from foreign military intervention, but they still worry about it. And they look with horror at the phenomenon of non-violent revolutions that has been removing authoritarian regimes with such efficiency, from the ones that overthrew Communist regimes in Eastern Europe and almost overthrew the Chinese regime in 1989 down to the Arab ones of today. Moscow and Beijing have convinced themselves that there is a Western “hidden hand” behind these uprisings, even though Western actions (like the US backing for Egypt’s President Mubarak that continued until almost the last minute of the revolution) and Western interests both argue otherwise. Now, in Syria, they see both of these threats coalescing. First, for eight months, they watch strictly non-violent protests – despite some thousands of killings by the Syrian state – undermine the Assad regime. Then, when some of the protesters start fighting back and the regime responds with even greater violence, bombarding city centres and committing

open massacres of villagers, they hear the Western powers begin to talk about their “responsibility to protect”, with the (deliberately misleading) implication that they are contemplating direct military intervention in Syria to stop it. So Russia and China will veto any Security Council resolution that condemns the Assad regime, and certainly any resolution that hints at military intervention. Assad must survive, not because he buys a few billion dollars worth of Russian arms and gives Russia a naval base in the Mediterranean, but because his overthrow would be a precedent that, they imagine, might one day be used against them. Utter nonsense, but it means that the Russians, in particular, will go on taking the blame for the UN’s immobility and lending cover to the West’s pretense that it would act against Assad if only the Russians would get out of the way. They will protect Assad right down to the bitter end – and it may be very bitter indeed. Gwynne Dyer is a Londonbased independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

different: the politically mature understand that you win some and you lose some, and a long losing streak is not a reason to change the rules; it is a reason to up your game. Now what about this premise that Senate reform could ever be the instrument by which a defensive Alberta could defeat the clear political wishes of the rest of the country? Au contraire. A little simple math should be sufficient to dispel this idea. For example, a EEE Senate (equal, elected, effective), or even a reformed Senate that left the current distribution of seat untouched, would entrench a permanent majority composed of equalization-receiving provinces in a newly powerful institution. Reform would permanently empower the transferseekers Albertans have always excoriated, while condemning the west to permanent minority status at precisely the moment when its population growth and economic dynamism are giving it unprecedented political weight. What was the reason given by New Brunswick Premier David Alward the other day for bringing forward legislation authorizing Senate elections in his province? Electing senators will strengthen New Brunswick’s voice in Ottawa where the province is being increasingly overshadowed by the burgeoning Central and Western Canadian provinces. QED. Ironically Alberta’s big idea, Senate reform, would be a tragic mistake from conservatism’s point of view, and one that Albertans would come bitterly to regret. This is just another instance of an important but sadly neglected maxim: solutions are the chief cause of problems.

Being a Trudeau not enough An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press Justin Trudeau was in Winnipeg on June 10 for a Liberal party political gathering where he was forced to do what he’s being doing a lot lately - fending off suggestions he run for the party leadership. Mr. Trudeau has been mentioned as a possible leader for at least a decade and long before he was elected to office in 2008, but it was never taken too seriously - by him or the pundits. His only qualification, according to the prevailing wisdom, is that he is the son of

former prime minister Pierre Trudeau. The drawback, the cynics said, was that he was no Pierre Trudeau. In the last year, however, opinions have started to evolve. The young Mr. Trudeau - he’s just 41 - is now described as engaging, thoughtful, committed, outspoken and even charismatic. He draws a crowd, and people like him. It’s not Trudeaumania, but it’s enough to give some hope for the party. The party’s best hope today appears to be interim Leader Bob Rae, who would seem to have all the right parts to lead the

Liberals forward. In politics, however, qualifications don’t mean much if they can’t be translated into popular appeal and votes. And right now, Mr. Rae is not creating a winning impression according to the polls. Mr. Trudeau says he’s not interested in the leader’s job, but he hasn’t ruled it out in the future. If he does decide to seek his father’s old job, it just might be the kind of spark the party needs to get Canadians listening to Liberals again. It’s unlikely, however, that history would repeat itself in perfect parallels. Like his father,

Mr. Trudeau is a passionate social crusader and fierce opponent of narrow nationalism, particularly the kind that appeals to Quebec separatists. His father was also a big tax-andspend Liberal, a tactic that is less appealing to voters today. Canadians may dislike the style and mannerism of the Harper government, as well as some of its policies, but there’s no evidence they want a return to an era of wasteful spending. If Mr. Trudeau decides to seek the Liberal crown, he will have to show he is much more than just his father’s son.

PEOPLE OBITUARIES HARRIGAN, BARBARA — passed away peacefully on May 19, 2012 with family by her side. Barbara was born on April 12, 1924 in Winnipeg, Manitoba to James and May McDonald; their youngest child and their only daughter. She grew up in Watson, Saskatchewan and graduated as a Registered Nurse from the Winnipeg General Hospital in 1946. Barb excelled in her career in nursing, practicing in Canada and in California until she married Jack Harrigan in 1949. She settled in Trail, BC where Barb and Jack raised their large family. Despite a hectic schedule, Barb’s giving nature was exemplified in her volunteer roles at Hospice, CWL and St. Michael’s School. Any further spare time was spent playing tennis, golf, bridge and writing. Barb’s talent in creative writing led to her producing several children’s books and poetry that she shared with her family. Barb moved to Vernon sixteen years ago where she met wonderful new friends. All the while, she continued to keep in touch with her treasured childhood friends, nursing buddies and friends from Trail. Barb’s family was her prime interest and source of joy. Her keen sense of humour (which she needed with seven children) as well as her patience, kindness and spirit of gratitude will continue to inspire all of us. Barb was predeceased by her brothers Don and Jim. She is survived by her seven children Nancy (Pierre), Denis (Josie), Meg (Ron), Art (Kath), David, Brian (Brenda), Richard (Kath). She is also survived by 16 grandchildren: Lisa, Genevieve, Lindy,Trisha, Dan, Nathaniel, Dave, Ted, Pat, Galvin, Jake, Sean, Luke, Connor, Caitlin, Jane and five great grandchildren: Jaiden, Tristan, Ruby, Esme and newly arrived Jaxen. Barb’s family is extremely grateful to the staff of the Vernon Hospice for the care and warm attention that surrounded Barb and her family in her final weeks. Barb’s friends and acquaintances are welcome to join the family in a Memorial Service to be held at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Saturday, June 30th, 2012 at 1:00 P.M. Interment of Barbara’s

cremated remains will follow in the Bethel Rose Garden Of Remembrance. A Reception will then be held in the Tea Room. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Doctors Without Borders or to the North Okanagan Hospice Society 3506 27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S4. Messages of condolence for Barb’s family can be sent to bethelchapel@uniserve.com Funeral arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605 27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 (250) 542-1187 *** HARVEY, WILLIAM ALFRED — Bill was born in Trail on May 7, 1930 where he attended Trail Central School. In 1951 he met Ria Zimmer and went to North Battleford, SK to marry her. In 1954 he graduated as a psychiatric nurse, taking his training at the Saskatchewan Hospital. The family moved to Terrace, BC where Bill became the Director of Nursing at Skeenaview. After 20 years, Skeenaview Hospital closed its doors and built a new hospital. Bill’s health was declining, so he took early retirement at 54. In Terrace, he bought a Cessna 180 and became an ardent pilot. He talked Rita into flying and she became his co-pilot. They moved to Parksville in 1984 where he worked as a realtor with Rita for 9 years at Block Bros., then from there back to his beloved Trail. Bill was a past master of the Masonic Lodge in Terrace and attended lodges in Parksville and Trail. He was also a Rotarian and past chairman of the hospital board in Terrace. Bill loved to hunt, fish, fly, ski, and scuba dive. He was a jackof-all-trades and there wasn’t anything he couldn’t fix or do. His sense of humour was famous by all that knew him and will be missed by all. He is survived by his wife Rita, daughter-in-law Susan, son Billy, grandchildren Shannon and Terry and sister Sheila Ewings. He was predeceased by his youngest son Kelly in 1991. Bill died in Trail the day after he turned 82.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/FRANK GUNN

Nik Wallenda walks over Niagara Falls on a tightrope in Niagara Falls, Ont., on Friday.

Wallenda makes history over Niagara Falls THE CANADIAN PRESS NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. - No one else in the world has had the view of Niagara Falls that Nik Wallenda had Friday night as he stared down into the churning waters 60 metres below and was enveloped in the mist from the thundering falls. One careful step at a time Wallenda battled winds and near-blinding spray to make history, becoming the first person to walk across Niagara Falls on a tightrope. Others have crossed the water on tightropes, but over the gorge downstream and not for more than 100 years. Nothing can beat that view, he said. “Just staring at the falls from here is breathtaking,” Wallenda said after successfully completing his daredevil act. “To be directly in the middle, directly above the falls...it takes your breath away. It’s just unreal.” Wallenda was unbelievably calm as he slowly, painstakingly, proceeded step-by-step along the steel cable stretched across the falls. He even found time to give an interview as he was perched precariously over the raging waters below. “Oh my gosh, it’s an unbelievable view,” he told ABC, which was broadcasting the spectacle live. “I’m so blessed to be in the position I am, to be the first person to be right here and to be the first person in the world who will ever be right here.” A crowd of tens of thousands of people packed onto the roadway by the falls - some waiting more than 12 hours to watch the

historic performance - and they erupted with cheers as Wallenda ran the last few steps to the safety of the platform anchored in Canadian turf. “The most amazing part was when he was on the line and he was waving at the people,” said eight-year-old William Clements. The boy, who came with his family from Dresden, Ont., jumped up and down with excitement as Wallenda knelt down on the wire toward the finish, took a hand off his balance bar and waved. Wallenda started his journey on the American side of the falls and finished less than half an hour and 500 metres later on the Canadian side, where his passport was promptly checked by border officials. “No I’m not carrying anything over, I promise,” a tired but happy Wallenda told the customs agents. The distance and the heavy mist made it difficult for those watching in Niagara Falls, Ont., to see exactly when Wallenda set foot onto the wire, but eventually his red jacket came into view. “When you first started to see him it just looked like he was floating in the mist,” said Greg Cooper, who came from Mississauga, Ont., and snagged a front-row view. Wallenda has been walking wires since he was a child and had dreamed of this exact stunt since he was six years old. He comes from a long line of aeralist daredevils as a seventh-generation member of the famed Flying Wallendas. He has performed many death-defying acts in his time,

but was clearly not used to the literal strings that came along with signing a deal with ABC to live broadcast the event. His father Terry Troffer, talking him through the whole walk, asked Wallenda about his biggest bone of contention - the safety tether that ABC insisted he wear. “How’s that harness, it’s not cutting off any circulation?” Troffer could be heard asking Wallenda at one point. Wallenda wore a microphone and an ear piece during his walk. “No, I just feel like a jackass wearing it,” Wallenda replied. Placing one steady foot in front of the other, trying not to get distracted by the raging waters below, Wallenda was “in the zone,” he said. That is, until ABC had a request. “Actually, I had a producer in my ear saying, ‘You know what, you need to slow down a little,”’ Wallenda said later. “I was like, ‘I don’t want to slow down. I want to get across to the other side.”’ The deal with ABC allowed Wallenda to recoup some - it hasn’t been revealed exactly how much - of the estimated $1.3 million the stunt cost him in permits, technical set-ups and marketing. Normally, Wallenda said he focuses on the movement of the wire to guide him through a walk, but when he looked down to see fast-moving water and looked up to see rising mist, it posed a “very unique, weird situation.” He could see the thousands of camera flashes as he approached and heard the roar of the crowd only once he was almost safely across, he said.

Big Horns dominate in Creston BY TIMES STAFF

Dubbed the Big Horns for a reason, the Kootenay South Youth Soccer Association U14 boys’ select soccer team came up big indeed last week as they returned from Kootenay-Columbia playdowns in Creston as zone champions. The local U14 team came oh so close last year, losing out in a final-match shootout against Nelson, a team that went on to place second overall in the 2011provincials. This year the Big Horns were looking to climb all the way to the top, yet first

had to butt heads with last year’s champion Nelson, as well as Cranbrook and Creston. The KSYSA squad consisting of players from Greater Trail and Castlegar were tested immediately. Facing Nelson in the opening match, the Big Horns turned in a dominating performance, beating down their nemesis by a score of 5-2. The Big Horns continued to play solid defensively and an explosive offensive front netted four more markers against Cranbrook, as they cruised to a 4-1 tri-

umph in their second match. One more win would guarantee KSYSA U14’s a provincial berth. The Big Horns faced a tough Creston side in the final match. Creston kept it close, but the Big Horns were too much, as they shut down the Creston offence, rolling to a convincing 3-nil shutout and a ticket to the B.C. Championship as the Columbia/Kootenay representative. The team heads to the B.C. Soccer Association boys provincial championship in Aldergrove July 4-8.

CASTLEGAR-- The Selkirk College Saints Men’s Hockey program announced a commitment from speedy forward Stephen Saretsky Wednesday. The Richmond native will attend Selkirk College and compete for the Saints beginning in the 2012/13 B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League season. Saretsky joins the Saints following a pair of seasons playing Junior A hockey in B.C. and Ontario. He made his British Columbia Hockey League debut in 2010 with the Cowichan Valley Capitals, scoring seven goals and adding six assists in 41 games. He made a number of stops as a 20 year old, beginning with the BCHL’s Alberni Valley Bulldogs and Langley Rivermen. He also saw time in the NAHL and OJHL, notching four points in 21 games with the Dawson Creek Rage and Wellington Dukes. The 5-foot-11 winger was also a standout in the PIJHL, combining for 29 goals and 49 points in 52 games with the North Delta Devils and Richmond Sockeyes in 2009 and 2010. “Stephen has great skating ability and a high skill level that will translate into good offensive production at the college level,” says Saints head coach Jeff Dubois. “One of our goals in recruiting has been to improve our offensive depth and adding a player of Stephen’s calibre and experience certainly helps to accomplish that. I’m very pleased that he’s chosen to take the next steps in his education and hockey career here at Selkirk College.” Saretsky joins a trio of incoming forwards who have spent considerable time at the Junior A level. His addition, combined with those of Logan Proulx of Trail, Thomas Hardy and Jackson Garrett, brings 348 games of BCHL experience to the Saints line-up. “I believe I have a good opportunity to further my hockey and educational goals at Selkirk College and look forward to being a part of a very competitive team,” says Saretsky. “I bring lots of speed and a quick shot so I’m hoping I can score some goals and work hard to be the most complete player I can be.”

Trail’s Jason Bay sidelined with concussion THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - Jason Bay is back on the disabled list with his second concussion in two years. The New York Mets placed their oft-injured left fielder on baseball’s seven-day DL for concussions Saturday and activated infielder Justin Turner from the 15-day disabled list. After missing six weeks this season with a broken rib, the Trail native was hurt again Friday night when he crashed into the outfield wall while trying to catch Jay Bruce’s inside-the-park home run for Cincinnati. Mets manager Terry Collins said Bay has been told to stay home and rest for a couple of days until he’s examined by doctors. Collins isn’t sure how long Bay will be sidelined but expects it to be more than seven days. Bay missed the final two months of the 2010 season with a concussion he sustained slamming into the left-field fence

to make a catch at Dodger Stadium. “I’m very worried about it because Jason’s first one was pretty severe and he hit the wall pretty hard yesterday,” Collins said. “He’s pretty sore today. Real sore. So we’re just going to have to, again, bide our time and see how he comes out of it in the next few days and see how he feels.” It’s the latest setback for Bay, a pricey bust in New York due to injuries and a lack of production at the plate. The three-time All-Star signed a $66 million, four-year contract with the Mets in January 2010 after setting career highs with 36 homers and 119 RBIs for Boston in 2009. But he played only 95 games in his first season with New York and 123 last year. He has missed 44 out of 66 games this year, leaving him with just 22 homers and 110 RBIs in twoplus seasons with the Mets. The 33-year-old Bay is batting .187 with four home runs and six RBIs. He was on the disabled list from April 24 until

June 6 with a broken rib and went 2 for 25 with a home run after being activated. A week after returning to the lineup, he got hurt again. Bay is not the only Mets player with a history of head injuries. New York catcher Josh Thole has also had multiple concussions, one of which landed him on the disabled list from May 8-31. “I know what he’s feeling. I know what he’s going through. It’s not easy,” Thole said. “It gets scarier because you go sit in the doctor’s office and the doctor tells you you could be one away if you have a serious one. It’s stuff you don’t want to hear.” Scott Hairston was set to start in left field Saturday night against the Reds. Collins said he’ll “mix and match” in the outfield while Bay is out, and the backups on the bench are versatile enough that the Mets can stick with what they have on the roster right now.

Ronaldo leads Portugal THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KHARKIV, Ukraine - Cristiano Ronaldo finally found the form he was lacking at the European Championship, scoring twice Sunday to give Portugal a 2-1 win over the Netherlands and a spot in the quarterfinals. The Real Madrid forward failed to sparkle in Portugal’s two previous matches but he was devastating against the Dutch. He produced an equalizer with his first goal of the tournament in the 28th minute and scored the winner in the 74th. Needing a win to have a chance at staying in the tournament, the disappointing Dutch fielded an impressive attacking lineup featuring Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Robin van Persie up front. Rafael van der Vaart gave the Dutch the lead in the 11th minute, but Portugal then took control of the match.

Leave girlfriend before reconciling with wife Dear Annie: I’ve been married for 40 years and am now retired. While working, I became infatuated with “Lucy,” a co-worker. We became friends, and after one of our many lunches, we took the rest of the day off, stayed at her house, and you can guess what happened. Annie, it was a tragic mistake that I wish I could take back. Unfortunately, what’s done is done. My wife found out from a business associate, and she told me to leave. There was no discussion, no counseling, nothing. Let me tell you, the grass is NOT greener on the other side. Right now, my wife and I are separated, and I am living with Lucy, but I’m not happy. Lucy is not the person I thought she was. We don’t like the same music, the same TV programs or even the same foods. She complains that I use her computer too much and don’t cut the grass

Lucy is also not as attractive as I once thought, especially when all that makeup comes off. I want to return home and see whether anything can be salvaged from my marriage. I took my wife to lunch the other day. She told me she’s amazed to learn that she can actually make it on her own. She won’t discuss divorce, which gives me some hope. My daughter says her mom might

be willing to go to counseling, but my wife tells me that there’s no way to regain the trust. Lucy thinks I took my wife to lunch to discuss divorce, not reconciliation. Is it too late for my wife and me to rebuild? -- Grass Not Greener Dear Grass: Maybe not, although we have to say your reasons are rather superficial. Lucy isn’t attractive enough? Your wife never complained about the TV? We hope there is more behind your regret than the disruption of your comfort levels. Please move out of Lucy’s house before you attempt to reconcile. It will show commitment. Then ask your wife to go with you for counseling. If she refuses, tell her you will be going on your own to learn how to become worthy of her trust. Dear Annie: I am sick and tired of getting bad haircuts. I have found that stylists tend to cut hair the way they want to, not the way

you want them to. I try my best to communicate with the stylist, and I even bring in pictures of hairstyles I like. I realize my hair texture is different and it won’t be exactly the same. But I know my hair. So I would like to tell all of the hairstylists out there to please listen to your customers. If you don’t believe a particular hairstyle will work, then discuss other options. Also, if you don’t feel confident creating a certain style, please be honest and say so. But don’t simply cut someone’s hair the way you want instead of the way the customer wants it. -- Tired of Getting Bad Haircuts Dear Tired: Most women have a regular stylist who becomes familiar with their hair. If you are not happy with your hairdresser, find another. Ask your friends for recommendations, or ask women in the mall and grocery for the names of their stylists. Pictures are

good, but also be very specific about what you want, and spend time talking before any cutting begins. Don’t give up. Dear Annie: The letter from “Sad Student” touched my heart. He said one of his teachers

died and there was no mention of his teaching career in the death notice. When writing my parents’ obituaries, I learned that the longer they are the more expensive it can get. Very possibly, the

teacher’s family could not afford a longer death notice. As you said, a letter to the editor by the student or a letter to the family would be a wonderful tribute and very much appreciated. -- NY

LEISURE

YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Tuesday, June 19, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today’s New Moon urges you to observe your style of communicating. Are you clear in your communications? Do others understand you? TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Each New Moon is a chance to make resolutions. Today’s New Moon is about money, earnings and possessions. Do you know what your financial worth is? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is the second New Moon in your sign this year -most rare indeed! Ask yourself how you can improve the image you create in the world. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) In your quest for happiness, it is slowly dawning on you that making others happy makes you happiest. It’s a roundabout truth that can’t

be disputed. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Friendships not only make your life feel richer, they improve your health. What kind of friend are you to your friends? What can you do to be a better friend to your friends? VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your relationship with bosses, parents, teachers and authority figures is important because authority figures surround us all. Are you quick to rebel, or are you cooperative? LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) What further education and training can you get to improve your job? What education or travel could you undertake that would enhance your life? SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This might be the best day in the year to think about disputes about shared prop-

erty, inheritances and insurance matters. Are you doing everything you can to help yourself? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) What can you do to improve your partnerships and closest friendships? This is the best day of the year to give this question some serious thought. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Make two resolutions

today: One is about how you can improve your health. The second is about how you can improve your job or the way you do your job. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) It’s important to balance our work with play, but too often, we forget to play like children and express our creativity. What can you do to get in touch with that playful side?

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Today’s New Moon is the perfect day to make a resolution about how to improve your home and how to improve your family relationships. What are two things you can do? YOU BORN TODAY You are persuasive and always very involved with others. (You don’t take a backseat to anything.) You have a talent for motivating others, and you

Below; Four year old Jachin Clarke (left) and Caleb Freeman took advantage of the snacks at Warfield Day on Saturday afternoon.
