SCHOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER

Jobs scarce for students BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff

Young workers looking to land jobs in Trail this summer could be hard pressed in light of the recent cancellation of the federal Hire-a-Student program. With workers between the ages of 15 to 24 now accounting for 30 per cent of unemployment within the province, according to the B.C. Federation of Labour, that number could climb higher given the cut. Data on the labour force recently revealed “In May and that the number of June, now it’s unemployed young dwindled, I people has increased by 30,000—an almost 20 think we only per cent increase—over have one or the last year. two student And as the summer progresses, employees jobs posted.” at the Skills Centre said JAIME MALCOLM competition for jobs is intense for some people in that age bracket—including many students— said Jaime Malcolm, the employment resource specialist for the Skills Centre. “In May and June now it’s dwindled, I think we only have one or two student jobs posted. And we haven’t seen a lot of students but we might get another little bump in July when the high-school students are done,” she said. Although federal funding for the Hire-aStudent program was recently cut, the Skills Centre reported it hasn’t seen a wide influx of changes on the local job front. “I think students who finished school at the end of April came here around mid-May and that’s usually when all of the jobs get posted,” said Malcolm. According to a recent CBC report, statistical data released earlier this month shows that the country’s total jobless rate currently sits at 7.4 per cent. But for those in the 15 to 24 age bracket, the figure is 14.7 per cent—27,000 fewer youths have jobs right now than at this time last year. But it’s not all gloom and doom. There are several options out there for students, unfortunately just not a one-to-one service, said Cheryl Gnyp, marketing coordinator at the Skills Centre in Trail. The Skills Centre offers online job postings spanning from Trail to Castlegar, self-serve computers with both a resume making program and career assessments, access to a photocopier and a phone, as well as workshops on resume writing, interview skills, and effective job searches. “And while many (students) use social media, they don’t use it for job searches,” said Gnyp.

Play-based learning helps develop young minds Full-day kindergarten wraps up first year BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

The play is the thing in School District 20. In fact, play is the newest thing, a modern interpretation on an age-old practice of teaching young people through play. A growing global movement amongst early childhood educators has touched down

in the Greater Trail region, spreading throughout School District 20 (Kootenay Lake). With the advent of provincially mandated, full-day kindergarten in 2011, the school district has begun to implement play-based learning, taking whole child development into consideration by involving domains of social, emotional, physical, aesthetic and language acquisition. At the end of the first year of full-day kindergarten, SD20

director of instruction Bill Ford said more than half of the kindergarten classrooms in the district are now well entrenched in the philosophy of play-based learning. “Play-based learning is hands on, trial and error, and the absolute best way for the early developing brain to learn,” said Ford. “It fosters a love of exploration and discovery, encourages natural curiousity, provides opportunities to make

sense of the world and sets children on the track for lifelong learning.” The combination of going a full day for kindergarten with play-based learning will have a significant impact on the start in life for the region’s young people, said Ford. Studies clearly show children who begin school with purposeful play as the basis for the curriculum are more advanced in reading and

Two Grade 3 classes from Fruitvale Elementary visited the VISAC Creative Activities Centre Tuesday as part of its Kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the Gallery program sponsored by Teck. After a guided tour of the current exhibit with local painter and art instructor Barb Pistak, the students pulled out their pencils and did some quick sketches of the paintings by Nakusp artist Barbara Maye. The students raised funds for their year-end field trip â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which included a stop at the Warfield Pool andta visit and donation to the SPCA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by recycling juice boxes all year at their school.

Nakusp artist brings exhibition to VISAC Abstract acrylic painting workshop on July 14 and 15 TRAIL â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nakusp resident Barbara Maye sees beautiful human bodies, not just in the pages of fashion magazine and Hollywood films, but everywhere she looks. Maye originally moved from her native Colorado to British Columbia in pursuit of her first love â&#x20AC;&#x201C; trees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For several years, I studied the unique lessons of different species of trees as a mirror of human experience,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many cultures, both past and present, believe in deities, tree spirits and worship trees for their protec-

tion, healing powers and food provision.â&#x20AC;? But after returning to college at University of Calgary to complete a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, the human form became her new artistic muse. Her interest was further piqued by yoga classes at Yosadhara Ashram in Kootenay Bay.

She is a private art instructor and on July 14 and 15 she will be giving a workshop on abstract acrylic painting, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m each day at the VISAC Gallery.

REGIONAL Evacuation alert for some Kootenay Lake residents THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - While the flood situation in much of British Columbia is easing, high water problems in the southeast of the province are getting worse. The water level in Kootenay Lake has risen to its highest level in 40 years and many small rivers and streams in the area are rapidly rising. Bill Macpherson from the Central Kootenay Regional District said the lake has risen five feet since June 1. The water has forced the evacuation of one home and put residents at 60 other homes on evacuation alert. “In those instances it’s water over roads that could keep people isolated, so it’s more precautionary than anything else,” said Macpherson. Highway 31 along the north end of Kootenay Lake has one lane open after road crews worked to mitigate flooding, which had earlier closed the route.

Other avenues for jobs FROM PAGE 1 “I’m finding that some university students are a bit more savvy with that.” University students are on summer holidays roughly one or two months before high school students are on holidays and job opportunities can become difficult to find. Alternatively, the CBT offers a Summer Works Program that provides an employer with a generous subsidy if they meet the criteria. As well, a joint venture recently launched between the province and the federal government can provide students with a program funded by the Canada-British Columbia Labour Market Agreement called Get Youth Working. For more information, visit www.getyouthworking.ca

Play provides many benefits in kindergarten FROM PAGE 1 math, and better adjusted socially and emotionally in school than those in a more traditional, scripted kindergarten instruction over the long term, said Ford. Much of a child’s early learning takes place through play, he added. “The focus really is on to supporting them to understand the world around them as they question and as they try explore and try to make sense,” said Ford. “If you walk into a classroom and you look around and you see students that are playing, that they are actually engaged in purposeful learning.” All kindergarten classrooms in the district have elements of a play-based learning program in place, Ford noted, with some further along the continuum than others in this work. Play at the kindergarten level has many benefits— healthy physical, intellectual, and social-emotional development—that cannot be achieved by delivering only a pre-academic skills curriculum, said Ford. Play is the work of childhood and is essential to a child’s development and is recognized by the United Nations High Commission for human rights, said Ford. “For example, when a child plays with blocks, sand, or water, she is learning the basis of logical and mathematical thinking, scientific reason-

ing, and cognitive problem solving,” he said. “Teachers provide and guide different types of play opportunities in the kindergarten classroom to address different types of learning: dramatic play, active play, group play, individual play, and so on.” The conversation on playbased learning was started in earnest two years ago in SD20, and when full-day kindergarten was implemented province wide and throughout the region in September, 2011, some teachers were already well versed in the program. It wasn’t a hard sell to teachers, said Ford, and the district only had to support teachers as learners, providing some additional resources: learning centres, water tables, sand tables, blocks and drawing materials, carpeted areas where they can hold classroom instruction. “What you would see walking into today’s kindergarten classroom today is you would see noise. Learning is noisy and learning is messy, and kindergarten teachers embrace that,” said Ford. As the program comes back on stream this fall, Ford said SD20 is looking to expand the reach to Grade 1. “It is not the walls of the school that make a difference, it is what is happening in the classroom with that teacher that makes a difference,” Ford concluded. “And this is making a difference.”

Many aspects of early-childhood education takes place through play and social inter-action.

SUPPORT FOR PROGRAM In playing, children express, explore, combine, and extend what they have learned about the sights, sounds, smells, and textures of the world around them; about the words, signs, symbols, and customs of their language and culture; and about their own and other people’s thoughts, feelings, ideas, and sensations. In the play scenarios children invent and explore by themselves and with other children, they bring together everything they have learned and are wondering about. — BC Early Learning Framework, 2008 Research shows that children who engage in complex forms of play have greater language skills than non-players, better social skills, more empathy, more imagination, and more of the subtle capacity to know what others mean. They are less aggressive and show more self-regulation and self-control, as well as higher levels of thinking. — Why Children Need to Play in School, 2009

PROVINCIAL Province reaches tentative deal with teachers BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation executive is recommending acceptance of an agreement reached with school district negotiators that extends most of the terms of the contract that expired a year ago. Teachers are voting this week on the proposed settlement, which runs until June 30, 2013. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, representing B.C.’s 60 school districts, will hold a vote for trustees next week. The agreement puts off a bitter dispute over government changes to hiring, layoff and performance evaluation of teachers. Education Minister George Abbott said the deal includes a letter of understanding to continue talks on those issues. BCTF president Susan Lambert said the agreement includes some improvements to teacher benefits and leave provisions. But Wednesday Lambert announced the union is making the latest of many trips to court to argue that imposing a two-year wage freeze violates their

constitutional right to collective bargaining. The BCTF is the last major public sector union in the province to accept the wage limits. “We have been able to achieve some modest improvements but, above all, we succeeded in getting government take its concession demands off the table,” Lambert said. Abbott rejected the union’s claim that the employer was trying to cut back professional development provisions. The ministry wants to standardize provisions that were negotiated separately with the 60 districts before province-wide bargaining was imposed, he said. BCPSEA chair Melanie Joy said the tentative agreement standardizes provincial language for the number of leaves and establishes a process for local and provincial issues. Acceptance of the agreement will allow schools to resume classes next fall with teachers resuming extracurricular activities and meetings with school administration. The work-to-rule campaign extended throughout the school year.

Wineries anxiously await changes BY STEVE KIDD Penticton Western News

Sandra Oldfield of Tinhorn Creek Vineyards is wondering what she should do with the 12-gauge shotgun she ordered from Saskatchewan. She’s thinking, maybe a vase. Oldfield had the shotgun shipped to B.C. to demonstrate that it was legal to have a firearm shipped, but to do the same with wine was a prosecutable offence. When Bill C-311, the “wine law,” receives Royal assent today, it will strike down the 1928 Prohibition-era regulations forbidding the shipping of wine between provinces. But far from opening the floodgates to wine shipping freely from province to province, it has started a round of

provincial authorities evaluating new regulations to control and tax that flow. That includes a special commission in Ontario tasked with evaluating that province’s regulations, as well as new regulations introduced in B.C. on June 7. “I see Ontario looking at this as a good sign,” said OkanaganCoquihalla MP Dan Albas, who has shepherded the bill through the House and Senate. After spending the weekend back in his riding, he returned to Ottawa Tuesday to be present for the Royal assent. But his summer plans include spending time encouraging his provincial counterparts to see the possibilities in increased trade in wines between prov-

inces, both for the economic boost from the sales, but also for the boost to jobs as wineries grow. Ultimately, he said, more trade in wines is good for the provinces. That includes e-commerce, which B.C. minister Rich Coleman has specifically said is not on the table, though Bill C-311 opens the door to it. Oldfield is optimistic that the province is just working on details, wanting to make sure they have everything in order before announcing new regulations. “I have hopes that they will follow not just the spirit, but the letter of the law,” said Oldfield, pointing out that the bill includes a provision for a purchaser to not only buy wine in person, but to cause wine to be brought

across provincial borders, as she did with her shotgun. “E-commerce is a tremendous opportunity,” said Albas. “But every province has to come to its own consensus on how to handle it.” Albas’ attitude will come as good news to winery owners, like John Skinner of Painted Rock, who was dumbfounded by the restrictive approach taken by the B.C. government. “I think there is some work for the provinces to do in engaging the other provinces to address the whole issue of selling to one another and enabling the free trade of wine, as is the spirit of Bill C-311. It should allow for internet sales, it should allow for free and easy commerce amongst Canadians,” said Skinner.

Rescue workers remove their hard hats as firefighters carry a second body out of the Algo Centre Mall in Elliot Lake, Ont., on Wednesday, after the mallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roof collapsed last Saturday.

Bodies recovered from mall THE CANADIAN PRESS ELLIOT LAKE, Ont. - Two bodies were recovered Wednesday from the wreckage of a partially collapsed shopping mall as search and rescue teams said they do not expect to find any more remains. Bill Neadles of the Heavy Urban Search and Rescue team said crews are still at work sifting through a 12-metre long pile of debris inside the Algo Centre Mall in this northern Ontario city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our efforts will be concentrated to finish that rubble pile ... to ensure that we are in fact correct in my assumption that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only the two victims within that complex,â&#x20AC;? Neadles told a news conference. Search efforts are expected to wrap up within the next few hours, he added. Ontario Provincial Police Insp. Percy Jollymore said officers still have a list of people who remain unaccounted for, but stressed those names may not be tied to the mall collapse.

Mayor Rick Hamilton called Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discovery â&#x20AC;&#x153;a deep, deep tragedy,â&#x20AC;? one that affects not just the victims and their families but the entire community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with heavy hearts and the deepest condolences on behalf of every citizen in Elliot Lake that we offer our condolences to the families,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indeed a tragic time for the citizens of Elliot Lake.â&#x20AC;? Television footage showed some rescue workers taking off their hard hats and bowing their heads as the stretcher with the first body was carried out. The bodies were removed after a specialized robotic arm worked through the night to clear a path through the debris that accumulated when a section of the roof crashed through the two-storey building on Saturday afternoon. The operation required crews to orchestrate the collapse of a precariously balanced escalator and remove slabs of concrete from the scene.

uestions – most of them relating to the diversity of Canadians – still hang over Canada’s Constitution even though 145 years have passed since it became the founding law of our country and governments. This is not surprising, given that the Constitution was drafted by 36 men, 33 of them of British origin and three French, and that it was changed significantly by the British government before its parliament made it the law known as the British North America Act. And at that time these 36 men, all politicians, were elected by the votes of only white men who owned property or paid significant taxes or rent (men with low incomes, women and minorities were not allowed to vote). Only about 360,000 wealthy men voted back then, out of total population of about 3.3 million (half of whom were women) in the four provinces that then made up Canada (now known as Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick). And while about two million of the people in those provinces were of British ori-

gin, and about one million of French origin, there were also about 200,000 people of German descent, 30,000 Dutch, 20,000 aboriginal peoples, and 20,000 black people. Given their backgrounds, it is not surprising that the Constitution these 36 men drafted created a federal government and provincial governments modeled on the British Parliament – a constitutional monarchy. But even with all their similarities, it was far from sure that the four provinces would combine together through the confederation process to form Canada. In fact, in 1867 the AntiConfederation Party in Nova Scotia won almost all the seats in the Canadian Parliament and the provincial legislature. This new government voted to leave Canada but were prohibited from doing so by the British government. The British Parliament continued to control Canada for decades more, passing 13 more British North America acts that changed our Constitution in many ways (including adding new provinces) from 1867 to 1951. Canada’s federal Parliament passed seven

more similar laws from 1952 to 1981, and then, in 1982 along with the British Parliament, renamed all of these laws as part of Canada’s Constitution, including the new Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the new section 35 that recognized and affirmed the aboriginal treaty rights, new equality rights clause, and new process for amending the Constitution. However, the 1982 renaming didn’t change the constitutional structure of Canada’s governments, nor did it resolve questions concerning Quebec’s relationship with the federal government, especially given that Quebec’s legislature did not ratify the 1982 changes. And while some agreements have followed the 1987-1990 Meech Lake Accord, and 1992

Charlottetown Accord, both of which failed to make constitutional changes, federal-provincial relations overall are still dominated by debates over which government has the power to control various sectors of society. As well, since 1982 new constitutional concerns, and expectations, have arisen, in part because of the growing diversity of Canadians (people of about 200 ethnic origins now live in Canada, including visible minorities making up 18 per cent of the population), but also as a result of the abuse of powers by prime ministers and premiers. Canadians have learned much in the past 30 years about how their governments actually work under Canada’s Constitution, which sets out the powers of the Governor General and provincial lieutenant governors (as representatives of the British monarchy) to check the decisions of the Prime Minister and premiers. Unwritten constitutional rules and practices (known as “conventions”) have developed over the past several decades to restrict these powers to the point that prime ministers

and premiers can, essentially, appoint whomever they want to key positions (including law enforcement agencies), call elections and shut down Parliament or a provincial legislature whenever they want, and control politicians in their party and force them to vote in favour of any laws they propose. A recent survey conducted by Your Canada, Your Constitution found that 65 per cent of Canadians want these powers set out in clear, written rules enforced by the Supreme Court of Canada (as politicians have done to varying degrees in Britain, Australia and New Zealand). Further, 52 per cent of Canadians want Canada to become fully independent by retiring the British monarchy as the head of our governments. So as we celebrate the national miracle that Canada, through its Constitution, became 145 years ago, it seems that a majority of Canadians also want to reflect on the more independent, democratic and inclusive country Canada could still become. Duff Conacher is the spokesperson for Your Canada, Your Constitution, a new national educational foundation.

LETTERS & OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Can’t we all just get along? On June 18 it was announced that Rodney King was found dead in his swimming pool. The news of his passing received major coverage; most reports featured his famous plea, “Can’t we all just get along?” Rodney’s plea was directed to members of the black community to end the rioting that followed the outrageous US court decision exonerating members of the Los Angeles Police Department charged with delivering a severe beating to Rodney. On a regional note political events have unfolded to create a situation where perhaps we should step back and ask ourselves, like Rodney King suggested, “Can’t we all just get along?” The issue I am speaking of is the City of Trail’s recent decision to proceed with boundary expansion to the Waneta border. (City of Trail regular council minutes June 11) The City of Trail feels justified in doing so because a handful of property owners from that location have invited this action; but by taking this position the City of Trail is displaying a total disregard for the existing tax sharing arrangement.

As far back as 1971 the communities of Fruitvale, and Montrose along with Area ‘A’ of the RDKB have had in place an agreement to pool taxes to finance recreation projects and programs in the Beaver Valley. In the early 70’s a Montrose, Fruitvale, Area ‘A’ wide referendum was held to fund major recreation facilities. Taxation revenues from the Columbia Gardens/Waneta area were cited as crucial to the viability of these facilities and related programs. Fast forward to 2012, little has changed in that regard; the taxation from this area is still very heavily relied upon. In short it can be stated that Trail’s boundary expansion will place into jeopardy the services offered by BV recreation. It may even result in the closure of our arena. Trail council is well aware of the impact of its actions for at the same council meeting a motion to “contact the provincial government to explore measures to mitigate tax impacts in the residual of Area A” was tabled. (In fact it will affect all three Beaver Valley jurisdictions) This motion was defeated,

receiving the support of only two of councillors. My kudos to those council members for realizing that Trail’s actions are a bad way to treat their neighbors, after all, we should not better our community by tearing down someone else’s. The move toward boundary expansion will have such a serious impact it is bound to create hard feelings between the communities of the Beaver Valley and Trail. Yet the majority of Trail council does not seem to give a damn. This area is facing a multitude of serious questions/issues such as school board funding, possible location of a new regional hospital. The City of Trail will need allies when facing these questions yet it insists on a cavalier pursuit of its own interests, creating hard feelings and putting distance between itself and its neighbors. I am urging the residents of Trail to have a conversation with their council members and ask them to explain themselves, above all, ask them this question; “Can’t we all just get along?” Lindsay Partridge Fruitvale

ACTION FIGURES MOST CONSUMERS DON’T JUST READ THE PAPER. W IT. THEY TAKEE ACTION WITH

Our irrational love of Obama An editorial from the Kamloops Daily News Soon after Barack Obama was elected president, he paid a visit to Canada. He received such a warm welcome from Canadians that he joked that he might move here if things took a turn for the worse in the U.S. Polls at the time showed that if Obama were running for prime minister, he would win in a landslide. His Republican opponent would have been reduced to a fringe candidate. Our enthusiasm for Obama has no doubt been tempered over the years of his presidency. We have learned, for example, that he does not walk on water. Still, we’d venture to guess that if it were up to us, he would easily beat Mitt Romney. Like many love affairs, though, this one may be based more in the heart than in the head. And an article in a leading U.S. foreign police journal may be just the slap we need to get our heads out of the

clouds. The online edition of Foreign Affairs, published by the Council on Foreign Affairs, blames Obama for a host of irritants in Canada’s relations with the United States. Among them: * Delay in the Keystone XL pipeline. * Protectionist Buy American provisions. * Disrespect for Canadian military contributions in Libya and Afghanistan. * A demand for concessions to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership. * Making Canada pay for a new bridge between Detroit and Windsor. * Tepid support for Canada for a seat on the UN Security Council. It’s a far cry from the days when Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and President Ronald Reagan got together to sing When Irish Eyes are Smiling. Obama and Prime Minister Stephen Harper both have

musical talents, but it’s hard to imagine them singing in harmony. When Harper did his rendition of With a Little Help from My Friends, Obama was nowhere to be found. Even so, this shouldn’t come as a surprise. Democrats have traditionally been more protectionist when it comes to the economy, and can be expected to put the interests of their own country first. This might be something to admire from afar as an ideal, but as a reality it hurts. It especially hurts because our government has gone out of its way to try to improve relations with the U.S. Despite having no major interests in Libya or Afghanistan, we spent billions of dollars and lost more than 150 lives in those conflicts. If Romney were to be voted into the White House, would he show more gratitude? Would relations improve? In the end it doesn’t really matter. We insist on loving Obama with our hearts.

Terry Fox van to go on display THE CANADIAN PRESS The beige econoline camper van that served as Terry Fox’s home during his 1980 Marathon of Hope will be on display to the public over the Canada Day weekend. The vehicle - marked with Fox’s name and the purpose of his campaign - can be viewed in the lobby of the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, Que., from June 26 to July 3. Owned by the Fox family, it will be temporarily stored at the museum until a permanent display location can be found. In 2008, the van was restored by the Ford Motor Company to make it appear as it did during Terry’s run. The van became a familiar sight to Canadians who followed the Marathon of Hope, which began in April 1980, when Fox dipped his foot into the Atlantic Ocean in St. John’s, N.L. For 143 days, Fox - who had already lost one leg to cancer - ran a full marathon every day to raise funds to fight the disease. He had covered 5,400 kilometres when, on Sept. 1, 1980, he was forced to stop because his bone cancer had spread to his lungs. He died the following June. Fox’s brother, Darrell - who drove the van along with friend Doug Alward - expressed relief that the museum will look after the vehicle. “We are grateful to the Canadian Museum of Civilization for its help in preserving this important piece of our national heritage,” he said in a statement. In the fall of 1980, the van was sold to a new owner in London, Ont., who kept it until 1984. A second London resident owned the van and gave it to his son, who drove it to Vancouver in 2000 and used it as a touring vehicle for his heavy metal band for seven years. The econoline van was returned to the Fox family when Vancouver author Doug Coupland found out about the the van’s whereabouts. Coupland has written a book about Fox and also designed four bronze statues of the iconic runner that stand in downtown Vancouver. “Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope are a critical part of Canadian history,” said Mark O’Neill, president and CEO of the Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation.

NORA EPHRON

Writer/filmmaker remembered for her sharp wit THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - Among the injustices about the death of Nora Ephron is that she isn’t around to tell us about it. Ephron, the author and filmmaker who thrived in the maledominated worlds of movies and journalism and was loved and feared for her devastating wit, died Tuesday in New York. She was 71. She died of leukemia Tuesday night at New York Presbyterian/ Weill Cornell Medical Center, her family said in a statement. “She was so, so alive,” said her friend Carrie Fisher. “It makes no sense to me that she isn’t alive anymore.” Born into a family of screenwriters, Ephron was a top journalist in her 20s and 30s, then a bestselling author and successful director. Loved, respected and feared for her devastating wit, she was among the most quotable and influential writers of her generation. She wrote and

directed such favourites as “Julie & Julia” and “Sleepless in Seattle,” and her books included the novel “Heartburn,” a roman a clef about her marriage to Washington Post reporter Carl Bernstein. She wrote the popular essay collections “I Feel Bad About My Neck” and “I Remember Nothing.” She was tough on others - Bernstein’s marital transgressions were immortalized in “Heartburn” - and relentless about herself. She wrote openly about her difficult childhood, her failed relationships, her doubts about her physical appearance and the hated intrusion of age. Even within the smart-talking axis of New York-WashingtonLos Angeles, no one bettered Ephron, slender and dark-haired, her bright and pointed smile like a one-liner made flesh. Friends from Mike Nichols and Meryl Streep to Calvin Trillin and Pete Hamill adored her for her wisdom, her loyalty and

NORA EPHRON

turns of phrase. As a screenwriter, Ephron was nominated three times for Academy Awards, for “Silkwood,” ”When Harry Met Sally ...“ and ”Sleepless in Seattle,“ and was the rare woman to write, direct and produce Hollywood movies. Fisher and Meg Ryan were among the many actresses who said they loved working with Ephron because she understood them so much better than did her male peers. “I suppose you could say Nora was my ideal,” Fisher said. “In a world where we’re told

that you can’t have it all, Nora consistently proved that adage wrong. A writer, director, wife, mother, chef, wit - there didn’t seem to be anything she couldn’t do.” “Sleepless in Seattle” star Tom Hanks said Ephron “knew what was important to know; how things really worked, what was worthwhile, who was fascinating and why.” The eldest of four children, Ephron was born in New York to screenwriters Harry and Phoebe Ephron, who moved to Beverly Hills, California, when she was 4 years old. Regular visitors included “Casablanca” co-writer Julius J. Epstein, “Sunset Boulevard” collaborator Charles Brackett and the team of Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich, who worked on “The Thin Man” and “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Determined to be a journalist, Ephron graduated from the single-sex Wellesley College in 1962, moved

to New York and started out as a “mail girl” and fact checker at Newsweek. A newspaper strike at the end of the year gave her a chance. Victor Navasky, the future editor of The Nation, was running a satirical magazine called the Monacle. He was working on a parody of the New York Post, “The New York Pest,” and asked Ephron for a spoof of Post columnist Leonard Lyons. She succeeded so well that the newspaper’s publisher, Dorothy Schiff, reasoned that anyone who could make fun of the Post could also write for it. Ephron was asked to try out as a reporter. Within a week, she had a permanent job. Ephron began writing for Esquire and The New York Times and developed a national following as a throwback to the prime of Dorothy Parker and S.J. Perelman and a worthy peer of such new and hip journalists as Gay Talese and Tom Wolfe.

LIFESTYLES

Kokanee fans asked to audition for roles in movie BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Creston Valley Advance

If you’re a die-hard Kokanee beer fan, then auditioning for a part in an upcoming film might be the thing for you. Until the end of June, online auditions will be accepted at www. themovieouthere.ca for spots — speaking roles, action roles and extras — in a yet-to-benamed film produced by Alliance Atlantis. Producers are also looking for Kokaneethemed props, songs to include on the soundtrack and bars to be featured in the film. The 90-minute film, which will be released in February 2013, is about a group of high school buddies who reunite in a ski town where Kokanee plays a big part in everyday life, taking Kokanee’s participation beyond standard product placement. “We have this kind of cult following and we have fan willing to engage with us, so why not dial that up and

take that engagement to a level no brand has done?” said Amy Rawlinson, Kokanee brand manager for Labatt. “Our fans have historically been very engaged with the brand.”

Those who audition must receive 25 or more votes to be considered for a part in the film, which will begin shooting in August and feature the ranger and Glacier Girls from the Kokanee TV commer-

cials. In addition, some celebrity cameos are in the works. “Anyone that appears in the movie has to be relevant to the western Canadian, because that’s what our brand is all about,” said

Rawlinson. “It’s not only a movie about these guys getting together, but about western Canadian pride.” And there is also a

chance the Columbia Brewery will be seen — it is, after all, the home of Kokanee. “There may very well be some scenes with

Kokanee trucks leaving the plant in Creston,” said Rawlinson. “We’ll be sticking to the roots of the brand and where it was born.”

New display opens at park on July 1 NELSON – A group of seven home schoolers volunteered to build the Osprey nest for the new Web of Life display that will be unveiled during the opening of the Kokanee Park Visitors Center July 1. This is the second season the centre will be operated by the West Kootenay EcoSociety. Last year the organization received a Community Legacy Grant from the BC Conservation Foundation to provide upgrades to existing displays and make them more interactive. The nest is part of a larger display that weaves the bear, kokanee, eagle and osprey together in the Web of Life Display depicting the different life cycles of the kokanee salmon. Murals were also upgraded to be more interactive. This year the centre will be open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Jays Classic still on

Stingrays dominate in Creston pool

BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor

BY TIMES STAFF

After numerous rainouts in the past week, the Trail AAA Jays are readying Butler Park for the Trail Jays/Safety Net Security Mid-Summer Classic this weekend. Recent torrential rains made Butler unplayable for the West Kootenay Diamondbacks and Phillies on Sunday, and rained out the Trail Babe Ruth senior baseball final Tuesday, but the Trail Jays are confident that its annual tournament will go off without a hitch. “I was hoping to get some sunshine (today), but it (the weather) looks good for our tournament,” said Jays coach Nick Combo as he and the team helped City workers prepare the field Wednesday. Combo is optimistic that the upcoming tournament will be a go, and current forecasts call for mostly sunny skies until Sunday. After completely tilling the dirt in an effort to absorb some of the water, the crews compacted the infield, groomed the edges, and removed standing water. “We’re just putting the finishing touches on making Butler look good for the tournament,” said Combo. The City of Trail’s Gerry Bertolucci is satisfied with the progress, but said sunshine is still the best remedy. The Jays host the St. Albert Cardinals, Regina Mets,

The Trail Stingrays continued their torrid pace in the pool last weekend as they swam to another team victory at the Creston Wave Swim Meet. The Stingrays have won three major meets this season including Nelson, Trail and now Creston and will look to continue the streak in Colville July 7. “Last weekend’s meet in Creston was absolutely amazing and nearly disqualificationfree,” said Stingray coach Samme Beatson. The Stingrays amassed 405 points with Castlegar Aquanauts coming in second at 325 and Kimberley Seahorses in third at 215. One of the highlights at this meet was the eliminator challenge for the 50m freestyle. The format groups the swimmers in two divisions - Div. 1 to 3 and Div. 4 and over. The top six times for each group were selected to compete. Every round the last-place finisher would be eliminated resulting in five rounds of racing. The Stingrays dominated the event with Eden Kormendy winning the junior girls’ race, Josh Ballarin won the junior boys, Jennifer Chung won the senior girls, and Oleg Liferovich came a very close second in the senior boys. “All of the stingrays who participated in this event showed amazing stamina and made our club proud,” Beatson added. Meanwhile Paige Marrandino and Dylan Kormendy won grand aggregate trophies in girls and boys Division 1. Ian Markus took top honours in Div. 2, and Eden Kormendy and Josh Ballarin won it all in Div. 3. Tess Markus topped the podium in Div. 4, Jennifer Chung and Martin Gonzalez added to their trophy case by winning it all in Div. 5 and Oleg Liferovich came first overall in Div. 6. Diego Greenwood was runner up in Div. 3, and Sharman Thomas placed second in Div. 4, while in Div. 6 Cassidy Martin placed second and Timothy Chung third.

It’s not exactly practice but under the watchful eye of Jason Bay above, the Trail Jays showed up at Butler to get the field ready for the Trail Jays/Safety Net Security Mid-Summer Classic this weekend. The Jays warm up with a double-header tonight against the CDA Lumbermen. Penticton Tigers, Spokane North Stars and Northeast 49ers in a round-robin format that throws out the first pitch Friday when the 49ers play the Cardinals at 11 a.m. The Trail Jays first game goes at 8 p.m. against first-time attendees Regina Mets. The Mets are an elite AAA midget team that plays in the Saskatchewan Premiere Baseball League. The Mets won the SPBL championship in 2009 and are currently in eighth spot with a 6-13 record. Outfielder and 16-yearold phenom Brendan Hill leads the Mets in hitting with a .459 average, and last year won the Western Canadian Championships with the Bantam AAA Regina Pacers. Other teams to watch are

the defending champion 49ers, the North Stars, as well as the St. Albert Cardinals a team that has matured a lot, says Combo. “A lot of the teams that are coming back were pretty young the past couple years, so they will be a lot better this year.” The teams each play four games with the top two seeds playing for the championship game on Monday. After going 3-1, the Jays lost in last year’s final 3-2 against the 49ers and are looking for a measure of revenge. With the Jays coming off a solid performance at the Bellingham tournament last weekend, Combo is hoping this week will result in a final appearance. “We’ve just got to come in

with the same approach we’ve had the last couple weeks, competing each game and not being focused on the end result, just competing and take it one inning at a time . . . The past two years we’ve been in the championship both times, and I think the guys know it’s our home tournament and a good chance for them to show Trail what Jays baseball is all about, and I think that’s something these kids are using as motivation to try to get back to the championship,” said Combo. Before the tourney starts, the Jays face the Coeur d’Alene Lumbermen in North Idaho American Legion action at Butler on Thursday with games at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. See page 11 scoreboard for tournament schedule.

Precipitation puts sports into perspective

s Trail creeks rise, and sluffing hot-spots of debris, soil, rocks and mud teeter ominously above West Trail, a group of committed baseball players and City of Trail workers are feverishly trying to get Butler Park ready for the Trail AAA Jays Safety-Net baseball tournament this weekend. The incessant rain and stormy weather has many locals concerned and has resulted in mud slides, flooding, and tragedy for a Cresent Valley family when a 72-year-old man lost his life when swept away by rushing water. Families across B.C. are being forced from their homes, Creston Valley called a State of Emergency, and Sicamous is mopping up a devastating flash flood where almost 400 people were evacuated, and many left homeless, as the flood-water remains unabated. It kind of puts sport and a baseball tournament into a humbling if not insignificant light.

Mother Nature doesn’t care a whit about baseball and she is wholly indifferent to human suffering. And yet, people continue to rebel against her, whether it’s filling and stacking sandbags, building dykes, clearing slides, bailing out basements or tilling and drying the Butler Park infield - small JIM victories count. According to the Southeast Fire Centre’s weather forcaster, June is on pace to set a Tight record for the most precipitation and rainouts in a single season. It has wiped out numerous junior and senior Babe Ruth baseball games including Tuesday’s final, cancelled the girls softball playoffs, soccer matches, the Little League minor playoffs, the Champion Lakes ladies golf tournament, the Mel Simister Memorial, a pair of West Kootenay Phillies

and Diamondbacks double headers at Butler Park, an AM Ford Trail Orioles fourgame homestand against the Honkers, and a Jays’ double bill. With Butler Park completely soaked and unplayable, Tuesdays rain threatened the Jays Canada Day weekend tournament. But it didn’t stop the City’s Gerry Bertolucci from tilling the Butler Park infield amidst sheets of rain. Lines Similarly, parents, players, and volunteers were able to salvage the Little League Major championship at Haines Park Sunday by refusing to submit to her tyranny, as they removed buckets of rainwater, scraped and raked the infield, filled puddles and waited for sun and wind to help out. A determined Jays crew did the same

BAILEY

thing at Butler the previous week and managed to salvage one game of a double bill with Cranbrook. On Wednesday, the whole Jays team was out with City crews trying desperately to get Butler ready for the tournament this weekend regardless of what Mother Nature throws at them – and it looks as though they have indeed succeeded. It may be a small victory, but the ability of a determined crew to overcome obstacles and adversity in pursuit of a common goal is heartening. It happens every day in sports and in life. It is those small ‘Butler Park’ victories that sustain us and prepare us for the greater ones to come. As Longfellow wrote “Into each life a little rain must fall, some days must be dark and dreary.” But I’m fairly certain that beyond the rain and clouds the sun is still shining. Let’s hope it shines on the Jays, on us all, this weekend.

SPORTS EURO2012

Spain prevails over Portugal THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DONETSK, Ukraine - Far from its best, Spain still advanced to another major final on Wednesday by beating Portugal 4-2 in a penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw at the European Championship. Cesc Fabregas, who came on as a substitute in the second half of regulation time, scored the deciding penalty after Bruno Alves had hit the crossbar for Portugal moments earlier. “I played poorly, but the team worked really hard,” Fabregas said. “I had this intuition that we could advance if we went to penalties and that’s what we did.” Spain, which is trying to win a third straight major trophy after claiming titles at Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup, will next face either Germany or Italy on Sunday in Kyiv. “Being in another final is a miracle,” Fabregas said. “It’s really incredible.” Cristiano Ronaldo had sev-

eral chances for Portugal, but he sent three shots well over the bar as his team held its own for the entire match. The Real Madrid star, who came alive with three goals in his last two matches at Euro 2012, did not take a penalty in the shootout. He had been slated to take the fifth one, but he never got that far. After an often dour opening 90 minutes in which the Spanish failed to impress, the match livened up in the 30 minutes of extra time. Spain midfielder Andres Iniesta forced Portugal goalkeeper Rui Patricio into a superb reflex save in the 103rd minute. Iniesta ghosted into the penalty area, then held his head in disbelief as Rui Patricio reacted brilliantly to get a strong hand to his shot after Jordi Alba cut the ball back toward the penalty spot. Rui Patricio made another fine save to deny substitute Jesus Navas in the 111th. Tempers frayed at times, with

Portugal centre half Pepe getting a yellow card for a challenge on Xabi Alonso as they went for a high ball. Ronaldo also received some heavy challenges late on. In the shootout, Xabi had the first attempt saved by Rui Patricio. But Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas then saved Joao Moutinho’s shot. Iniesta, Gerard Pique and Sergio Ramos then all scored for Spain, while Pepe and Nani scored for Portugal. “The first one wasn’t so lucky, and then we scored the rest of them,” Casillas said. “Yes, we really were lucky. Everything is about luck sometimes.” Spain coach Vicente del Bosque ditched his unorthodox 4-6-0 formation for Wednesday’s match and opted for a traditional striker - but not the one many expected. Instead of Fernando Torres, it was Alvaro Negredo that got the start up front. But 10 minutes into the second half, Del Bosque took him off and replaced him with Fabregas.

CFL

B.C. poised for run at Cup THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER According to an Angus Reid survey, the B.C. Lions are doing “the right thing” as the 2012 CFL season approaches. No, this survey wasn’t conducted by the well-known pollster. It’s an ongoing study by the Lions’ insightful starting centre, also named Angus Reid, who has reached his findings simply by looking around the locker-room. With most players working on one- or two-year contracts, it is increasingly difficult for CFL clubs to keep their rosters together over the longterm, but the Lions are an exception to the rule. “We’re keeping our players intact,” he said. “We reward our players

new contracts. We keep our fans knowing who are stars are year in and year out.” He based the comment on recent campaigns, but it is especially true this season. Although Mike Benevides has replaced Wally Buono as head coach, the Lions have few new faces as they prepare for Friday’s Grey Cup rematch against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at B.C. Place Stadium. “Our team might have a new coach, but the B.C. Lions are still the B.C. Lions that you know,” said Reid. “Yeah, Benny brings his own signature to it But the reality is, almost every assistant coach is the same. “Almost all the players are the same. Our support staff is the

same.” All of B.C.’s offensive starters have returned and most defensive and special-teams players are back. Mike Reilly, who only took six snaps last year, has moved up to being the backup behind starter Travis Lulay, the CFL’s most outstanding player last season. The Lions also have a new No. 3 quarterback in rookie Thomas DeMarco.

“We have the chance to be the best Lions team I’ve ever been a part of,” said Reid, who is entering his 12th season. “The talent level is fine, the continuity is great, the characters on this team are good, the personalities are good, the blending is good, we don’t have cancers. ... Everybody’s here with the right purpose and intention, and that’s very rare to find in professional sports.”

WIMBLEDON

Raonic advances THE CANADIAN PRESS WIMBLEDON, England - It took two days, but 21-year-old Canadian Milos Raonic is through to the second round at Wimbledon. Raonic advanced with a 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win over Colombian Santiago Giraldo on Wednesday. Raonic led 2-0 and was about to serve for the match Tuesday night before rain and darkness forced offi-

cials to stop play. Raonic only needed 80 seconds to close out play Wednesday, setting up a second-round meeting with American Sam Querrey on Thursday. The Thornhill, Ont., native said he treated Wednesday’s short stint as a “practice session.” “I warmed up a bit long this morning,” said Raonic. “Normally I start matches serving well, so I was not too nervous.”

The No. 21-seeded Raonic fired 20 aces, converted 93 per cent of his serves and had three service breaks while holding his serve throughout. Raonic had 44 winners and made just eight unforced errors. Raonic was playing at the All-England Club for the first time since slipping and hurting his hip in a second-round match against Gilles Muller last year.

Power steering headed in the right direction

ight duty automobiles and trucks have had power steering since the early fifties. These systems are more properly described as power assisted steering. The method of assistance has been generally hydraulic but as in all systems nowadays electricity is becoming the assistant of choice. The steering system is called power assisted because the steering will still operate when the assisting method fails. Most of us who have been driving for awhile have experienced failed power assist. The steering still works but â&#x20AC;&#x153;Popeyeâ&#x20AC;?

size forearms are required. Why do steering systems need power assist? They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, but it sure helps. In order to make a vehicle turn the right amount with limited degrees of steering wheel rotation the mechanical advantage or steering gear ratio cannot be too high. A high ratio means slow steering but low effort. A low ratio means fast steering but high effort. Modern automobiles have low ratio power assisted steering systems. They usually require less than three turns of the steering wheel to turn from all the way left to right. In order to make that

RON

NUTINI Mechanically Speaking low ratio comfortable for the driver power assist is required. The hydraulic system that has typically been the assist method of choice incorporates an engine driven pump to pressurize fluid that is used to help rotate the steering gear. A hydraulic

control system distributes the desired amount of assist. The amount of steering assist required at a standstill is much higher than when the vehicle is in motion. The pump must be sized to produce the most pressure when the engine is turning the slowest. When the vehicle is moving and the engine turning quicker less pump pressure is required. This pump uses energy and therefore extra fuel to run and it runs faster when it has less work to do. The need for maximum assist at slow speed and less at high speed has ushered in

the electric motor for power assist. Using an electric motor to provide assist only when it is needed has become the most efficient method to provide power assist. This system can work effectively on hybrid vehicles that do not have a running motor to drive a hydraulic pump when the vehicle is stopped. The other benefit of electric assist is in packaging the system. Hydraulic systems require the pump to be located on the engine and hoses that run to the steering gear. Electric assist systems have only the electric motor mounted on the steering gear. A steering system is judged on the feel it gives to the driver.

Early electric assist systems gave a very detached feel to the driver. That type of steering is described as feeling numb. Good steering gives the driver a sense of feel that the steering wheel is connected to the rolling wheels. There is some feedback to the driver of what kind of load is being transferred through the steering wheel. The benefits of electric power steering have driven engineers to succeed at bringing the desired feel that drivers desire. Soon electric assist will be the steering standard. Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ron Nutini is a licensed automotive technician and graduate of mechanical engineering from UBC.

LEISURE

Take porn-loving husband to counselling Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our late 40s and have been married 30 years. (We married young.) “Eugene” has started looking at a lot of porn and seems to have a compulsion about it. We have enjoyed adult videos as a couple and still do, but Eugene now watches porn on the computer by himself. I feel betrayed, and it damages my trust. When I told him I don’t like that he looks at Internet porn so often, he became hostile and defensive. He angrily told me that “after 30 years of the same old thing, a guy needs to look at something different.” That comment hurt me deeply, and I’ve had trouble getting past it. For a little while, Eugene backed off the porn, but now he’s sneaking around. Today, I discovered he has logged on to live chat rooms and Internet porn dating sites. When I confronted him about

it, he was nonchalant, saying those sites just randomly pop up. But I know that’s not true. He’s visited those sites numerous times. Eugene says I’m too sensitive and his behavior is normal. But, Annie, the fact that he’s sneaking around is enough for me to know it’s not acceptable. Do you think Eugene is looking for an affair? -Not Comfortable with My Future Dear Not: We think your husband is looking for some thrills, and he’s being quite a jerk about it. This could be a typical midlife crisis: He’s approaching 50 and needs to feel young again. But such

juvenile behaviors can damage a marriage beyond repair. Please ask Eugene to go with you for counseling. Tell him you want to work on the areas of your marriage that are at risk. If he won’t go, go without him. Dear Annie: My son is getting married next year at a somewhat remote and tiny resort. Due to the distance, some guests will be arriving at the resort the day before the wedding. The rehearsal dinner is the night before the wedding. I plan to pay for the dinner, but my wife thinks we should pay for any guests that happen to be at the resort that night. Is she right? It could be awkward if we don’t include them and have to see them in passing. The resort is small. What is the proper way to handle this dilemma? -- Unsure in Illinois Dear Unsure: All members of the bridal

party, including parents, grandparents and officiants, are included in the rehearsal dinner. It is not mandatory to include all out-of-town guests, although if there aren’t too many of them, it would be both appropriate and kind to do so. Otherwise, please be sure there is hospitality provided at the resort specifically for them that includes some type of food (snacks, drinks, etc.). Dear Annie: This is in response to the letter from “Pennsylvania,” who asked about the etiquette of announcing a death via email. A couple of months ago, my husband’s sister emailed that an aunt had a stroke, and she said she would keep us posted. Several weeks later, I was throwing out an old newspaper and spotted the aunt’s obituary, too late to attend the funeral. No one in my husband’s family called him. When I confronted his spacey sister by

phone, she said she meant to send a followup email but forgot. When my husband confronted his mother, she said, “Your brother-inlaw was supposed to send you an email.” It turns out that the brother-in-law offered to do

so, but said the email bounced back with the wrong address. It never occurred to him to then call us. So don’t rely on email. Sometimes it gets lost in cyberspace, bounces back or goes into spam, and some

people don’t check their email often. I guess this is less a comment about the etiquette of sending an email to announce a death and more of a comment on my husband’s ditzy family. -Also in Pennsylvania

LEISURE

YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Friday, June 29, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Avoid power struggles with family members today, especially parents, even though youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re super-enthusiastic about vacations, sports or something having to do with children. Easy does it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Scuffles with others that are really power struggles might occur today. This could be because you are enthusiastic about a family situation or something that has to do with real estate. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Disputes about money and possessions could turn nasty today. What will save you is your sense of optimism and your sense of humor. (Thank heavens.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be very gentle with partners and close friends today, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to disagree.

From the point of view of someone else, you might be going overboard, financially speaking. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your enthusiasm for something might make you try to coerce others into seeing things the way you do. This is an easy trap for Leos to fall into, because Leos are such leaders! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Avoid squabbles with friends, especially in group settings. Instead, rely on your own good judgment, because down deep, you know exactly what should be done. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Power struggles with authority figures are highly likely today. Nevertheless, you will get people to agree with you because others will endorse your way of thinking. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Avoid controversial subjects

like politics, religion and racial issues today. Instead, talk to people in authority about how to share jointly held property. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a poor day for serious discussions about taxes, debt, inheritances, shared property and insurance matters. You quickly will be at loggerheads! Instead, consult an expert, friend or partner.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Go gently in discussions with partners and close friends today, because disagreements are practically unavoidable. Why not focus on how to best use something you share? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be tolerant and patient with those at work today. Disagreements are not worth the trouble, because you will only create a further rift.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be patient with children today; similarly, romantic partners must be patient with each other. If you work together for a common goal, this will ease tension. (You also will be pleased at how much you get done!) YOU BORN TODAY You are a visionary with a childlike view of the world who is constantly looking for ways to make your dreams come

The forecast for the East Kootenay region was upgraded from flood watch to a flood warning in the B.C. River Forecast Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent provincial update issued Tuesday evening. Several homes on Wasa Lake were affected by flooding Tuesday, according to a Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) report, and the community was preparing sandbags as of Tuesday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Tuesday) night we dropped off 2000 sandbags and two loads of sand at the community hall, and both the

the East Kootenay. By Wednesday morning, the lake level was up by about three inches. Sandbags are available to anyone in the community near the water who could be affected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From sandbagging to moving valuables and other belongings out of flood prone areas, now is the time to take steps to prepare if your property could be affected by rising waters,â&#x20AC;? said Duczek. Significant rainfall occurred in the region Tuesday and rapid river level rises were expected overnight and into the early Wednesday morning. Some valley residents have experienced flood-

ing in their basements while green space at beaches have also been flooded. The RDEK and Ministry of Environment are continuing to monitor water levels in Wasa and other parts of the East Kootenay region. A flood warning means river levels have exceeded bankfull â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or will exceed bankfull imminently â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that flooding of areas adjacent to the rivers affected will result, while flood watch means river levels are rising and will approach or may exceed bankfull with areas adjacent to affected rivers possibly flooding.
