The River Reconnect mural on the Trail Memorial Centre shines in the night thanks to the lights that were officially turned on on Friday
New lights brighten up river mural BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
Light has been shed on Trail’s newest mural. A six-year effort culminated on Friday when new energyefficient lights were officially activated to illuminate the River Reconnect mural. Trail Councillor Gord DeRosa, of the River Reconnect Committee, spearheaded a campaign to have LED street lights installed on the retaining wall of the Trail Memorial Centre. “It’s new technology,� said Larry Abenante, Trail’s public works manager. “We’ve used it in other places, but in small doses. This will be one of our big ones and we’ll see how it goes. We are starting to use it on some of our exterior lighting projects because the
(lights) use a lot less energy and require a lot less maintenance.� The lighting component came from Defiant Energy Solutions, which provided the LED street lights free of charge. The plan could cut the use of power by 93 per cent because the light emitting diodes are 13 times cheaper than florescent lighting. “The biggest reason

that we contributed to this project is that Trail, and a lot of the surrounding businesses gave us a lot of support early on and we (saw) a chance to help out with this beautiful opportunity,� said Travis George, president of Defiant Energy Solutions, who was in Trail last week with the company’s operations manager Raymond Bauman “It was the right

The company’s generosity ousted some of the financial concerns that had previously plagued the city and the River Reconnect Committee took care of rest by fundraising the remainder of the money required to advance on this $25,000 project. “It took awhile for people to bite into the whole concept,� DeRosa explained. “They just thought it was a whole bunch of pretty pictures on a wall rather than pictures with a meaning and now they see the benefit. And what better theatre could we get than a wall this big facing this close to the Columbia River?� The 200-foot-wide painting on the Trail Memorial Centre offers symbolic images like a bald eagle with
The latest volley in the match for boundary expansion has landed the ball in the court of Columbia Gardens business owners and residents. Trail city council voted last week to move forward with the Boundary Extension Study, a report that explored the merit and method of the City of Trail extending its corporate boundary into the unincorporated rural area south of the city known as Columbia Gardens. Although council unanimously supported a recommendation to proceed with the proposed Area A-Columbia Gardens boundary extension, the people of the affected region now need to reply before the process of boundary extension can move to the provincial stage for ratification. The city has hotly pursued the issue of expansion since it first was examined back in 2004, and expansion remains an important issue for the city in light of the diversification the opportunity affords the city’s tax base, said Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs. “We feel it is absolutely essentially for the whole future of the Greater Trail area, not just the City of Trail, because we would have the capacity to bring in and diversify our tax base for the whole Greater Trail, in our opinion,� he said. The study on boundary extension was handed down to council June 11 by Urban Systems, the consultant charged with gathering all of the formal responses from over one dozen or so business owners in the area, as well as around eight residences. The 2012 study presented looked into the finance, governance and service delivery impacts associated with including portions of the area— that runs along the Columbia River from the city side of Beaver Creek all of the way to the U.S. border —into city limits. Prior to the study coming to council, the Columbia Gardens landowners were given a feedback form at a May 29 meeting with the city. To date, five responses have been received and all were positive, said Trail chief administrative officer David Perehudoff in his report to council. However, he cautioned the city not to move forward until feedback from a majority of the owners was received.

Construction forces market to new location BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
It might be out of sight, but event organizer Rachael Roussin is hoping that the Rossland Mountain Market won’t be out of mind this summer. The Columbia Avenue and Washington Street revitalization project has hindered the popular spot where the farmer’s market has been for the last three years, but this season it will move up one block. “One change that we’re hoping won’t impact us this year is the construction in downtown Rossland. So this
year, the market has moved a block up to Queen Street and First Avenue,� said Roussin. “We’re hoping that it’ll be a reprieve for people from the downtown construction.� Six years ago the market was held at the old fire hall and although it was busy, the move to Rossland’s downtown core four years encouraged even more locals to drop by. The move this season is considered temporary and the farmer’s market, as well as its vendors, remain optimistic about the upcoming opening. “It was impossible to forget about the farmer’s market before because it was right

downtown,� said Roussin. “But now we’ll have to wait and see if people will walk one block up the hill.� According to Roussin, there are roughly 14 to 28 different vendors attending the weekly market, but the group of people who attend is constantly changing. “It depends on who is in town on the day of the market,� she said. Vendors will be selling arts and crafts, flower, baking, fruits, vegetables, plants and preserves. “We have a make it, bake it or grill it rule,� said Roussin. “Some vendors that we’re
really excited about include our local farmers. Of course, we don’t have any large farms in Rossland so we welcome Mad Dog Farm from Castlegar and this year, for the first year, we’re welcoming Garden Hoe from Creston. “We do have larger vendors that come from afar, but it’s the local vendors and artisans right here in Rossland that are the cornerstone of the market.� The first market will be held between 3 and 6 p.m. on June 28.

Sun shines on inaugural market BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
After weeks of cold, drizzly rain the sun broke through the clouds and shone some light on the first Esplanade Market on Friday. A handful of artisans and grass-roots entrepreneurs filled the Esplanade sidewalk in white tents. Green scarves draped off of some the tent infrastructure and created shade for the Hound Dog Bakery and Sugar Shack
Quilting. Other vendors were offering haircuts, selling jewelry, candles and donairs. Many patrons were simply there to revel about the break in the dreich weather. “We had 15 vendors and we estimated over 500 people attended over the 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. time frame,” said Maggie Stayanovich the executive director at the Trail and District Chamber of Commerce. “We had many potential vendors pick up application forms for
the next market on June 29, and those that attended last Friday all want to come back.” Stayanovich said the Chamber and District almost ran out of applications for new booths. There are still opportunities to set up booths further down the Esplanade to Spokane Street and into Jubilee Park.

NELSON
Stop the Violence BC refute’s mayor’s stance BY MEGAN COLE Nelson Star
The Stop the Violence BC campaign and advocates for the legalization of marijuana are responding to comments made in last week’s emotionally charged city council meeting. “I think the mayor (John Dooley) is well meaning,” said Dr. Evan Wood with the campaign. “But really we need an evidence-based and factual discussion. Clearly his views are inconsistent with the Chief Medical Officer of BC, the Health Officers Council representing
all major regions of this province, let alone the voices of law enforcement and supreme court justices and other legal experts.” Wood, who is a professor of medicine at University of BC and works at St. Paul’s Hospital in downtown Vancouver, has extensive experience in drug policy. “You pretty much have to be quite distanced from reality to think that prohibition is achieving it’s intended objective” he said. “Marijuana is more freely and easily available today than at any
time in our history.” The motion that was brought before council last week asked that Mayor Dooley send a letter to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the provincial and federal ministers in the justice and health departments, and Stop the Violence BC, to inform them of Nelson city council’s support of the campaign. The debate became heated when Dooley said he would not sign a letter and that he would “go to the wall”
in opposition to it.
There needs to be a majority consensus for the move before the city could take the proposal to the province, he said, and Teck remains the key piece of that process. Teck is a significant landowner in the area with some of its facilities including the Waneta Dam, owned two-thirds by Teck, and the Waneta Reload Facilities situated in this rural area. In 2004 it was Teck that put the expansion process on the back burner when it sought additional conditions that were contrary to city council’s legislative authority. In September, 2012, Trail council received a letter from the landowners in the area asking for council to reengage the process and embark on the study. That set in motion the formation of a steering committee—with members from the city, Teck, two industrial landowners, Area A director Ali Grieve and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary— to provide input on the study as it was compiled. And the numbers weigh in favour of the City of Trail. Current projections indicate revenue that would come into the city totals

$749,704—money now goes to the province—while expenses total $417,113. The net surplus of expansion would generate $332,591 for the city. The city could also gain nearly $77 million in assessment base should a deal go through. It would also benefit the business owners in the Columbia Gardens. The city’s light industrial property tax rate is currently less than the provincial rural rate, creating financial incentive for the area’s properties to enter into the city fold. If accepted, expansion gives the city more land and ties light industry into the city, diversifying its tax base “Trail is land poor … and this would really give us the opportunity to entice entrepreneurs to come and build here and diversify the tax base even further,” said Bogs. However, Grieve has repeatedly noted there would be a funding shortfall with the current Beaver Valley parks service. With the loss of the assessment base, the area would lose up to $183,449, even with revenue
sharing proposed by the city. Although the amount would be further offset once the Waneta Dam expansion project is complete—an additional $100,000 could come in—the director’s concerns could not stop expansion if the province gave the green light, said Perehudoff. “The province did indicate that the impacted landowners seeking the expansion would drive the process and if they were in favour of the expansion that it could proceed despite the concerns or objections of the Area A director,” he said in his report. A report by Urban Systems Ltd. noted the potential loss of $395,000 in revenue to the Beaver Valley Parks and Recreation Function as one of the most significant issues should Area A property owners— including the Trail Airport, the Columbia Gardens Industrial Park, the Waneta Dam and the adjacent lands extending from the current city boundary to the Waneta border— decide to move into city limits.

— a vulnerable area outside the city’s dike system. They’ve also issued an “evacuation alert” for all residents living outside the dike, meaning those residents should be prepared to evacuate on short notice. The river rose quickly over the weekend because of heavy rains up north. Chilliwack MLA John Les has cancelled a trip to northeast B.C. because of the threat. The Fraser River is expected to hit highwater levels not seen in 40 years. “I remember 1972 and the water (then)
was much higher than five years ago,” Les told The Progress. “I think I need to stick around here.” The waters could reach 6.5 to 7 metres at the Misson gauge by the weekend, according to predictions by the BC River Forecast Centre, with estimates of 12,000 to 13,000 cubic metres of water per second at Hope. “By the end of this week, we could easily see everything outside the dike flooded and a large amount of seepage inside,” Les said. Despite the rising water, both the recently constructed check dam and berm structure are
holding up well so far, said Will Davis, chair of the Carey Point Improvement Society, on Monday morning. “That did take us off guard,” Davis told The Progress. “But so far the berm and the check dam are doing what they are supposed to be doing. “Unfortunately these are Band-Aid solutions to the bigger problem we’re facing of constant erosion.” One last rush from the snow melt mixed with rain is coming down the Fraser from the upper watersheds, but they don’t know when it will arrive exactly.

CALGARY - The Alberta government is bringing in its tougher new penalties for drinking and driving on the July 1 long weekend. “The limits have not changed. The consequences of exceeding those limits have,� Transportation Minister Ric McIver said Monday. Drivers caught with a blood alcohol level higher than .08 will lose their licence immediately and will not be allowed behind the wheel until charges are resolved. Alberta will become the first province to institute indefinite suspensions for those caught after too many drinks. As well, drivers convicted under federal laws also will have a device installed in their vehicles for up to five years to prevent them from starting if high blood alcohol is detected. Drivers with graduated licences will face tougher penalties, including a seven-day vehicle seizure. A 72-hour licence suspension for those found with blood alcohol levels between .05 and .08 won’t be instituted until Sept. 1. The government’s plan to reduce road accidents due to drink-

Politics awash in illegal cash, inquiry hears THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - A star witness at a corruption inquiry said Quebec’s political parties are awash in kickback money, and being financed by a “clandestine empire� larger than he’d ever suspected. The inquiry’s first major witness, Jacques Duchesneau, said he believes 70 per cent of the money used by Quebec’s provincial parties comes from outside registered donations. Duchesneau, a former Montreal police chief and civil servant, said Tuesday that the
problem is as bad at the municipal level. He shared one anecdote, from a source, that an unnamed municipal party was so awash in cash it literally could not close the door on its safe. “This clandestine empire I’m talking about comprises links between the construction world and the illegal financing of political parties,� he told Quebec Superior Court Justice France Charbonneau, who is presiding over the inquiry. “According to the testimony, we have before us a widespread and brazen culture of kick-
backs.� Duchesneau described a well-organized system. He said political organizers would demand donations from engineering firms. These firms, in turn, would inflate invoices for work being done on public projects. He estimated that, during his investigative research over the last three years, he found as many as 50 engineering firms submitting false invoices in Montreal alone. The inquiry is exploring corruption and Mob ties in Quebec’s construction industry.

‘You can observe a lot by just watching’
W
ith a tip of the hat to baseball legend Yogi Berra for that profound quote, it was a reoccuring theme for me last week. We’ve all had moments that make you pause for a minute and see a bigger picture than just what’s in front of you. It doesn’t always happen. But it does once and a while. It could be sitting by the lake, on the ski lift, at the park or just a quiet moment anywhere. And it can also happen in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Traffic’s flowing, the hum of everyday work is rising and the rumble of heavy equipment starts but even that can be drowned out at the right moment. I had one of those moments last week when I was invited down to Groutage Avenue where a group of people were going to clean things up a bit. I envisioned a few wellmeaning people with some shovels and flowers and garbage bags. What I saw was the warm side of Trail. The people and the effort that goes un-noticed too often, admittedly from the media and the community in general, but really exists.

Perhaps it’s the age demographic out there but, like in baseball, every pitch has a target. Staying with the baseball analogy, I got hit by a pitch last week. There’s a car commercial, for Toyota I think, where a dad cautiously sends his daughter off on her first solo drive. As he talks to her in the car, he sees the eight-year old version of his daughter. The conversation goes back and forth before she pulls out of the driveway and heads off. At the beginning of last week I would have, as always, considered that commercial funny, clever and good marketing. But as of Thursday, when my daughter got her “N” licence, my interpretation of that commercial changed somewhat. I know a million parents have crossed this threshold and a million more will. But that driving off moment on her own signified changes I hadn’t really contemplated. It’s that next step in the gradual fleeing of the nest. Through daycare, kindergarten and high school, I still held a measure of security and guidance over something as simple as getting from Point A to Point B. But when I saw her profile in the window as she drove off, I knew I was looking at something more than a solo drive.
I know there are a lot of changes coming on the horizon just like the grads’ parents in Rossland and Trail, from pre-school to high school, are experiencing this month. What I overlooked in this big change in her life, the sense of independence the “N” licence provides, was that is was also going to quietly signal a gradual change in my life, whatever that may be. I have this sense that I’ve suddenly moved to another stage in the parenting progression. Too often our older generation, which I admittedly include myself, is quick to dismiss something because “we’ve pretty much seen it all,” by this time. And in my position as editor it’s my duty to stay abreast of the news from local to international. With that, over time, comes a skeptical and hardened view of all things political, social and newsworthy we’re bombarded with 24-7. That sometimes tends to put a dull paint over the colour in life. That was probably the best thing about all those moments last week. I saw things that reminded me there’s always another way of seeing things.

omies of Europe, some labour market reforms and tax reform may be necessary. The focus of tax reform should not be on reducing taxes for the rich but on ensuring equity in tax policy and easing capital investment, stronger use of flow through shares and changes to capital gains tax. This is a strategy Paul Krugman has been promoting and it has earned the label Krugmania. An analysis by ING suggests that the adoption of Krugmania will lead to a significant boost to employment and GDP growth of between 2.5 and 3 per cent within 24 months. While this may also lead to some inflation, this is the cost of supporting a strategy focused on full employment. Britain has started to recognize that Austeria is not working and has signaled that it will invest £140 billion ($225Can billion) in the economy through a complicated scheme supporting private capital through government guarantees. Whatever the merits of the approach (see a critique by Martin Wolf of the Financial Times here), which is aimed at making sure that the £140 billion doesn’t appear on the governments balance sheet, stimulus aimed at growth is occurring, albeit on a very modest scale. The government is focusing on how it should effect stimulus, not whether or not to have stimulus – this is what is important here. If you want the tooth fairy to appear, then you must put a tooth under the pillow. If you want the confidence fairy to appear, you must stimulate economic growth by putting public money into the economy. Fairies will abound.

arts. It also encompasses science and innovation. This year 30,000 Canadians from 135 countries sent in nominations, which were evaluated and whittled down by a committee during “very heated” discussions, said Soumalias. “Tomorrow or later today I know that I will be fielding calls from fans and family members of those that didn’t make it and explaining why they didn’t make it this year and encouraging them to try next year,” he said. This is the first time Canada’s Walk of Fame has inducted an entire team. The honour comes ahead of September’s 40th anniversary of the famed Summit Series that Canada won over the Soviet Union. “There comes a moment that defines a country’s identity and certainly for me and many of us of our generation, that moment was September of 1972,” said Soumalias. Previous inductees into Canada’s Walk of Fame include basketball star Steve Nash, actor Michael J. Fox, writer Margaret Atwood and roots-rock band Blue Rodeo. “I think we have an extremely rich arts culture in Canada and it’s very important that we nod at that and the work of the individuals specifically, because we’re a small fish besides the States and it’s very important, I think, for Canadians to show that we are paying attention,” said Devin Cuddy, son of Blue Rodeo frontman Jim Cuddy, who performed at Tuesday’s inductee announcement. The latest inductees will receive their tribute on Sept. 22 at Toronto’s Ed Mirvish Theatre. Soumalias said he expects Bachman and McLachlan will perform at the show.

LITTLE LEAGUE TRYOUTS
Lack of support cancels fundraiser BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor
JIM BAILEY PHOTO
Coaches of the West Kootenay major little league held their tryouts at Haines Park in Fruitvale Monday and Tuesday. A healthy contingent of about 25 players came from Nelson, Grand Forks, Castlegar, and Greater Trail to vie for a spot on the all-star team. The team will play in the B.C. Provincial Little League tournament hosted in Trail at the end of next month.
The Trail Smoke Eaters have made a lot of tough decisions over the past season, none more so than having to cancel their annual ALS Alumni Dinner and Golf Tournament fundraiser. “I could only get commitments from five corporate sponsors,” said Smoke Eaters’ president Tom Gawryletz. “Traditionally we have 17 or 18 so it just wasn’t feasible.” This year would have marked the eighth anniversary of the event that has seen the likes of Bobby Schmautz, Harold Snepts, Tom McVie, Bobby Kromm, Cesare Maniago, Brian Burke, Tom Renney, Danny Gare, Ray
Ferraro and last year’s guests Steve and Jeff Tambellini attend and entertain residents and guests at the Italian dinner and auction. The tournament is scheduled annually for the second weekend in July and has proven a successful fundraiser for the team in past years. Together with other fund raising initiatives, it helped the Smokies raise close to $40,000 last season. “It’s a $12,000 to $15,000 fundraiser for us. We’ll have to put our heads together to come up with something else,” Gawryletz added. Thoughts of moving to a one-day event was broached at the last meeting, and would mean eliminating the
popular Italian dinner and auction, but it is an option the team will look at, possibly for September, said Gawryletz. “It might be good for us to get away from the July weekend, there is so much going on this next month. When you’re a small business and you’ve got five guys pounding on your door for the same two weeks you have to say no to somebody, which happened to us and, which I understand.” The event has also enabled the team to donate tens of thousands of dollars to the ALS Foundation that seeks a cure for amytrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
WOMEN’S ROLLER DERBY AM FORD TRAIL ORIOLES
Kannibelles fall in western final Birds take big strides THE NELSON STAR
The Kootenay Kannibelles women’s roller derby team were not surprised to be skating in the championship game of Klash in the Kootenays at the Nelson Armories Sunday. “We’ve been working so hard for this,” said Kannibelle captain Bobbi Barbarich aka Beretta Lynch. “Our coach Phil-Yer-Pants has been incredibly diligent in analyzing everything we do and giving good feedback, so to be here was the goal. We wanted to have a better showing against Terminal City Roller Girls (TCRG) than the last time we played them.” In a tournament that saw the eight best derby teams from western Canada roll into Nelson for its first regional championship, the Kannibelles didn’t disappoint. The team made up of athletes from the seven-team West Kootenay Women’s Roller Derby League won their first two games to make it to the final against Vancouver’s Terminal City Roller Girls in Sunday’s championship match. The TCRG squad came in as the top ranked team in the derby and is ranked number two in the nation. The Kannibelles expected a tough match and they got it bowing 159-75 to the more experienced Rollers. “There was a ton of excitement,” said Barbarich,
who also took home the award for the tournament’s most valuable player. “There were lots of nerves. To have a hometown crowd, and to be able to show this calibre of roller derby and to be in the finals and play such a good game against a team that has been top ranked for five years. To do that in front of a home crowd was an amazing experience. I played worlds in December and I would say for me this was comparable.” The Kannibelles started the Western Canadian tournament on Friday with a 292-70 victory over the Okanagan-Shuswap’s Raggedy Rollers. The Belles followed that up on Saturday with a 259-48 blasting of the Red Deer Belladonnas, sending the local skaters to the gold medal round. “We were ranked second in Canada coming in,” said Kannibelles’ coach Phil Loosley aka PhilYer-Pants. “We knew the Belladonnas would give us a tough game. That was the main focus, to get past them to get into the finals [Sunday].” Despite the loss in the final, there is still a silver lining as the Kannibelles second-place finish qualifies them for the 2013 national championship. The Kannibelles are currently ranked eighth in Canada by Canadian Roller Derby Ranking.

Best-of-five series decides berth BY TIMES STAFF
The AM Ford Trail Orioles took a giant leap towards the Western Canadian Championships early this week as they swept the Vernon Diamondbacks in a two-game series. The Orioles’ Kyle Paulson threw a complete game shutout in the first match Sunday, striking out seven, as the O’s squeezed out a 1-0 victory. Consecutive singles by Josh Mace, Kyle Mace and Jim Maniago scored the only O’s run in the third inning, in a game that turned out to be a classic pitching duel. The O’s found their bats early in the second game Monday, scoring in every inning to pace them to a 10-0 mercy-rule drubbing of the
D-backs. Kyle Mace and Jim Maniago combined for the win giving up only three hits through five innings. Cam Ferguson went 3 for 3 at the plate, Kyle Mace was 2 for 4 with five RBIs, and Connor Jones and Josh Mace both had two hits. These were the first two games in a best-of-five series to decide which team represents B.C. at the Western Canadian Senior Men’s Baseball championship in Winnipeg, Man. Aug. 23-27. Trail is the defending champion, and will host the remaining threegame set against Vernon July 14-15 at Butler Park, needing only one win to send them to the Westerns. The Orioles head to Seattle this weekend for a tough four-game test against the Northwest Honkers in Pacific International League action.

Jackman happy to be Blue Blues blueliner locked up for three more years BY TIMES STAFF Former Beaver Valley Nitehawk Barret Jackman isn’t singing the blues after signing a contract with the team he has spent his whole NHL career with. The St. Louis Blues signed the Fruitvale native to a contract reported worth close to $10 million over three years. Jackman, currently the longest-tenured athlete among the major sports teams in the city, was to become an unrestricted free agent as of July 1. The 31 year old was originally drafted by the Blues in the first round, number 17 overall, of the 1999 NHL Draft. “St. Louis is our home and my family and I are excited to be staying,” Jackman told NHL.com. “I am proud of the progress we made this season but our fans deserve a championship and our team will not be satisfied until we achieve that goal.”

The Grade 7 students at Rossland Secondary School recently held their own Greco-Roman Olympics. The students were challenged to run these Olympic Games without any modern timing or measuring mechanisms. After an opening ceremony and an athlete’s oath, students competed in two wrestling events, long jump with rocks in their hands, javelin, sprints and a marathon. Another highlight of the day was a Greek and Italian lunch provided by the parents. The team from Argos narrowly beat the Spartans to claim the title as overall Olympic champions, while Cooper Tedesco and Allie Stanley, above, won the boys and girls pentathlon.

Riley garners prestigious award THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI - Pat Riley was walking out of Chuck Daly’s hospital room in 2009, got to the doorway and turned around for another word from his longtime colleague, rival and friend. Riley remembers it vividly. “He looked at me, I looked back at him for a pause and he just sort of said, ‘I’ll see you later,”’ said Riley, the Hall of Fame coach and now president of the Miami Heat. “I’ll never forget it. That was the last time I saw him.” Riley and Daly were rivals as coaches, eventually became close friends and now they’re linked once again. The National Basketball Coaches Association selected Riley as this year’s recipient of the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award, which commemorates the former Detroit coach’s life in basketball and his “standard of integrity, competitive excellence and tireless promotion” of the game. Riley is the fifth person to receive the
award, joining Tommy Heinsohn in 2009, Jack Ramsay and Tex Winter in 2010 and Lenny Wilkens in 2011. “This is not an award,” Riley said. “This is something somebody bestows on you. I’m very honoured that the coaches association would do this.” The award comes with perhaps extra significance this year, with so much attention on the 20th anniversary of the Dream Team - the team of NBA stars that went to the 1992 Olympics and won a gold medal, with Daly leading the way as the coach. “I think the perspective was very clear what that team was and what that team was about,” Riley said. “He had absolute confidence being around these types of players, tremendous confidence challenged them in such a way that I don’t think anybody else could have challenged them.” Riley’s team has some challenges these days as well, of course.

The 6-foot, 205-pound defenseman has spent his entire 10-year NHL career with the Blues compiling 20 goals, 139 points and 843 penalty minutes in 598 games while also becoming the club’s only Calder Trophy winner in 2003. Jackman is currently tied for 10th in franchise history in games played, ranks seventh in penalty minutes and 10th in points among Blues defensemen. “Barret has been a solid leader for our club, on and off the ice, and we’re happy to have him in the fold for the next three years,” general manager Doug Armstrong said. “He’s a staple of the organization and the community and his positive influence on our young core has and will remain an invaluable asset.”
The Heat are back in the finals for the second straight year - and in a touch of irony, Rick Carlisle, who coached the Dallas Mavericks to last year’s championship against Miami, is the president of the association. Carlisle was among the group that selected Riley as this year’s Daly award recipient. “When it came to coaching, Chuck Daly always felt that Pat Riley was the best of the best,” Carlisle said. “Chuck was a great admirer of Pat’s uncompromising intensity, class and style.” And style was one of the things Riley and Daly talked about often in the final months of Daly’s life. Daly was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer early in 2009, and his condition rapidly diminished. He spent much of his final weeks and months around friends and family in South Florida - and Riley often made the hour-or-so drive to better get to know the man he spent so many years coaching against.

Rooney puts England through THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DONETSK, Ukraine - Wayne Rooney scored the only goal that counted Tuesday, giving England a 1-0 win over Ukraine and a spot in the European Championship quarterfinals. Ukraine thought they had equalized in the 62nd minute when Marko Devic’s looping shot appeared to cross the line before it was hooked clear by John Terry. But the goal was not awarded by the referee or his extra assistant behind the goal. The controversy will likely add to the pressure on UEFA President Michel Platini to reverse his opposition to goal-line technology. Rooney, who sat out his team’s first two matches at Euro 2012, returned from suspension Tuesday and headed in the lone goal in the 48th. Steven Gerrard whipped a dangerous cross into the penalty area that went past two defenders before Pyatov let it slip through his hands as he crouched to collect the ball. Rooney was primed at the far post and put England ahead. It was Rooney’s first goal at a major tournament since scoring four at Euro 2004 as an 18-year-old kid. He failed to find the net at both the 2006 and 2010 World Cups. With the victory, England won Group D and will next face Italy in Kyiv on Sunday. France also advanced, despite losing to Sweden 2-0. t ATV Tires t Passenger Tires t Light Truck Tires t Custom Wheels t Brakes t Shocks & Struts t Lube & Oil t 2 & 4 Wheel Alignments rss t Mechanical Repairs t Suspension Lifting & Lowering t Literider Rollup Covers t 90 days financing available with your ur Integra Tire Card

LEISURE
Focus on getting a new job, not miserable family Dear Annie: I am 47 years old, and my mother is 80. I have three grown children and a 7-year-old daughter whose father is not in her life, nor does he pay child support, even though he earns a decent income. I recently have had some personal setbacks. My hours were cut at work, and I had to move out of our apartment because I could not afford the rent. I called my mother and asked her for financial help. She said no because it would mean losing “her family.” I was shocked. I thought I was her family, but apparently not. I am the youngest of four siblings. My father left when I was in my teens, and I quit school in order to get a job. I gave Mom all of my paychecks so she wouldn’t lose the house. I was the only one left at home to keep Mom company, drive her everywhere,

be her confidante and help her out. I know my mother does not owe me a living, but all I’m asking for is help until I get back on my feet. My perfectly capable mother gave my older sister control of her finances and says any assistance has to go through “Ellen.” I refuse to ask Ellen whether I can borrow money from my own mother. My siblings just had a surprise birthday for Mom and didn’t tell me. When I asked Ellen why I wasn’t invited, she said I wasn’t acting like a proper daughter. I never get invited to anything -- weddings, birthday parties, holi-
days, nothing. I love my mom, but it feels as if she does not care about me. I am trying to relocate and forget all of them. Still, when my mother needs a sympathetic ear, she calls me multiple times a day. Should I simply cut all ties and not speak to her anymore? -- Middle-Aged and Underemployed in the Midwest Dear Middle-Aged: You are obviously hurt by your family’s treatment, and we cannot explain why they are so unkind. Since you cannot count on them for help, your focus should be on getting back on your feet and finding a better job. Start by pursuing child support payments. Contact your state’s Attorney General’s Office for information, and also look into the Family Service Association (family-service.org). Dear Annie: I have a good friend in her 50s who recently started seeing “Frank.” She
seems very happy with him. I found out that Frank posted on his Facebook page something that implies the two of them had sex in a van in a parking lot late at night. Frank still lives with his parents, so I assume this posting could be true. My friend is the type who is very concerned about her reputation. Should I tell her what I saw? -- Shocked Friend Dear Friend: We assume if you can see Frank’s Facebook page, your friend can, as well, and probably has. (It is unlikely he would block her access but not yours.) What she does with her boyfriend is her own business, and if she objects to the posting, she will tell him. We think you should stay out of it. Dear Annie: This is in response to a letter you posted from Jenny Scala, a director for the professional floral business. I appreciate your giving equal time to different points of
view, but I found it rather self-serving that someone who profits from having flowers at a funeral should stand in judgment of the wishes of a deceased loved one who might have preferred donations to charity.
Flowers at a funeral are nice, but one or two arrangements are more than adequate. Asking guests to donate is so much more worthwhile than flowers that will wither and die. I wholeheartedly support donating those
same flowers to hospitals after the service. -- Incredulous Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

LEISURE
YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Thursday, June 21, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) For the next month, your focus will be on home, family and domestic affairs. Many of you will want to stay home or tweak where you live, to fix up the place. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A busy month ahead! Short trips, errands, conversations with siblings and neighbors, plus increased reading and writing create a jam-packed schedule for you. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Opportunities to earn money and spend it will arise in the next six weeks. Many of you will be laughing all the way to the bank. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Sun in your sign for the next four weeks is your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. This also is the time to put yourself first. Enjoy!
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Give some thought to what your new year ahead (birthday to birthday) might be. How do you want it to be different from last year? VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Get ready for a popular six weeks ahead! Accept invitations. Join groups and organizations. Enjoy schmoozing with others and discussing your future goals. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is the only time all year when the Sun is high in your chart, acting like a spotlight on you. And hey -- this great lighting is complimentary! That’s why bosses will offer you increased responsibility in the next month. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Grab every opportunity to travel or broaden your horizons. You’re hungry for adventure, and you want to learn something new.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) No doubt, you’ll feel intense about certain issues in the month ahead. In particular, you want to make sure you get your fair share of something, don’t you? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The Sun is now moving directly opposite your sign, which is as far away from you as it gets all year. Since the Sun is your source of energy,
you will need more sleep! (Pay attention to this need.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Act on your urge to get better organized at home and at work. You can get a lot done in the next six weeks. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Oh, playful Pisces! Flirtations, sporting events, parties and social occasions promise you a lovely month ahead. New romance might
arrive for some. YOU BORN TODAY You are passionate, sensual and amazingly charismatic. (Others will follow you almost blindly.) You embrace life and are involved in everything, especially family business. You have financial savvy, and you value a good education. You have a strong drive to succeed. A major change might take place this year, perhaps something as significant as what occurred around 2003.
