People searching for a job can get some help this week.

An interactive career fair offered through the BC Jobs Plan will be stopping at the Waneta Plaza on Thursday and Friday between 9:30 a.m. and 9 p.m., and at the recreation centre in Castlegar from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday. “What we’re doing, essentially, is trying to connect employers with people who want to work,� Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation said in an email reply. “Participants will be able to access interactive technology, including iPads, to explore the WorkBC web site. They will be able to interact with employers and regional training authorities to discuss opportunities and career paths.�

According to a recent report from Statistics Canada, unemployment rates among workers between the ages of 15 to 24 increased by 14.8 per cent in June— more than twice the national average of 7.2 per cent.

School district ill over sick days

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

School District No. 20 (Kootenay Columbia) should be sick of sick days as the end of the academic school year also ends the bleeding from the district’s substitute expenditure budget.

The school district ended up with a $226,734 overrun in its budget for replacement teach-

ers and district staff for the school year, while other measures expected to offset the 22 per cent jump did not materialize.

In its last regular meeting before breaking for the summer, SD20 board of trustees discovered that substitute expenditures for May were over $150,000, while the district budgeted $83,000 per month.

“That is very high considering that we did implement some cost measures to try and mitigate the cost,� said SD20 secretary-treasurer Natalie Verigin during the June 18 meeting. “Now we are sitting in a deficit position in that line item.�

She said June was projected to put the labour and benefit

The first drop in the move towards a new well and chlorination facility for the Village of Montrose has fallen with selection of a local engineering firm to begin the structural component.

On July 3, village council approved Redwood Engineering’s initial fee estimate of $25,000 for the structural design and drafting for the pump house and contact chamber. In addition, Redwood will complete structural schedules in compliance with the BC Building Code.

TRUE Consulting recommended partnering with the local engineer group to work on the structural component of this project because of the firm’s experience. “It adds complexity to the project if an out-oftown consultant has to schedule visits,� explained Kevin Chartres, the chief administrative officer, indicating the village council ousted a series of slightly lower estimates from other companies.

On Jan. 27, a $1.3-million Gas Tax Fund grant was bestowed on Montrose for water quality upgrades that includes the creation of a chlorination facility and replacement of a failing well.

The grant will aid construction of a new well and pump house.

Some of the highlights include a flow meter and state of the art communications, on-site back-up power generator, new main piping and a new chlorination facility.

The project benefits include a $1.3 million reduction in infrastructure costs, cleaner water that eliminates health risks and a sustainable water supply. In addition, an on-site generator will provide back up power to wells during power outages.

More than one year ago, the village issued a boil water advisory because of test results indicating low levels of total coliforms, a verdict that informed residents their water did not meet the BC Drinking Water Protection Regulation.

The village expects to inject 1 milligram per litre of water (one part per million) of chlorine into the system. The minimum chlorine residual required at the distribution extremities is 0.2 parts per million.

Benefits of the chlorination include preventing life-threatening diseases or other health risks, like cholera and typhoid fever.

aking care of your body is like being in a relationship with somebody—you can’t treat somebody badly and wonder why they left and didn’t tolerate ill treatment.

Catherine Manna-Taylor recently opened the Garden of Eden Vegan Organics, a storefront in East Trail, an action that stems from overcoming health problems. “There’s one thing you can’t buy, and that’s your health,� explained Manna-Taylor. “If you’re not healthy, you’re not happy at all—no matter how you look at it and I know because I’ve been there.�

Previously Manna-Taylor’s doctor suspected that she suffered from Crohn’s disease and Colitis, which triggered a major change in her lifestyle and diet. “When I was a stay at home mum, I took a course on natural food consulting,� she said. “But sometimes you need a wakeup call, like getting sick.�

The Garden of Eden sells vegan products, health books, organic supplements, dresses and flower arrangements.

But she’s more than happy to give cooking advice or share information about diet with

If I wanted

to make a ton of money, I’d be in a different business.�

In addition to holistic health care, Manna-Taylor stocks dresses from a company called Sacred Thread and she orders plants from Vancouver and Kelowna, arranging flowers is a skill she grew with. “I’ve been doing this

flower business since 1974,� she said. “My parents owned two flower shops out East in Mississauga, Ontario so I picked up floral design as my first trade, you could say.�

council are expected to replace hundreds of pages of photocopied and printed material produced for each council meeting (two per month).

It was found council needed “some sort of device whereby we would cease producing paper copies of the agenda and move into more of a digital world,� said Perehudoff at a July 5 general government and finance committee meeting.

The overall purchase price will come in under budget by $42,000.

The City of Trail had identified the need to replace an aging fleet of corporate computer systems. The need was

approved as a capital project for 2012 in the amount of $126,500. In addition, a capital project in the amount of $14,700 was approved to acquire equipment for council. A review of council requirements identified a tablet as the appropriate choice for them.

Quotes were received from eight vendors (Lang Business Systems, DHC Communications, CDW Canada, Dell Canada, Lenovo Canada, Insight Canada, Value Office Supplies, Selkirk Computers).

The quote provided by Lang Business Systems from Nelson, for the desktop and tablet selections was approved

for $58,272, even though it was not the lowest quote. “As such preference has been given to the vendor that would be considered more local in the context of the purchase as well as making it somewhat more convenient for ongoing support,� read a report from Duane Birnie, city information systems coordinator.

The quote provided by Trail’s Selkirk Computer for the monitorswas approved for $183.25 per monitor. “This quote was not the lowest quote but Selkirk Computers is a local business and the product fully meets or exceeds the city’s requirements,� said Birnie.

The BC Jobs Starts Here had a mobile exhibition in Salmon Arm last Sunday. On Thursday a display in the Waneta Plaza will provide guests with career information and job postings.

Plan aims to help people of all ages FROM PAGE 1 Last week, the agency reported that some youth were experiencing the economic hardships from a lack of summer jobs.

But Minister Bell said this campaign doesn’t have an age limit because the information being made accessible offers something from people in every field.

He indicated that since the BC Jobs Plan began last fall, exports from B.C. have increased resulting in thousands of jobs being created.

The BC Jobs Plan aims to promote economic development and job growth within the province.

“If you look around, investments are being made in B.C., jobs are being gener-

ated now and will continue being created in the future.”

The exhibition is mobile and began touring last Sunday in Salmon Arm, but there are 29 stops left on the tour.

“We hope to meet as many British Columbians as we can,” Bell said. “There are jobs and there are people looking for work.”

Unemployment rate in Kootenays drops

It appears things are working.

Figures released by Statistics Canada show more people in the region are working right now than at this time one year ago.

The unemployment rate for the Kootenay region dropped

by 1.7 per cent to 6.6 for the month of June, compared to 8.3 per cent one year ago.

Those numbers reflect a province-wide trend in job growth, with over 3,600 new jobs created in B.C. last month and the unemployment rate mirroring the Kootenay one at 6.6 per cent. Overall, B.C. gained 2,400 full-time pos-

Over 37 warnings have been issued for such offences as not wearing a life jacket to not having

The gains were some of the biggest in the nation, behind only Alberta. B.C. ranks second in terms of job gains since June 2011 when compared to other provinces, adding 53,000 jobs (Alberta added 55,400 jobs).

explained.

“The driver of the boat was noted to be displaying signs of impairment and an alcohol sensing device (ASD) was presented and the demand was read to provide a sample.”

Harrison said the 31-year-old male from Rossland blew a fail and

budget into a deficit position well over $300,000. But she told the board she was “hopeful we will find enough so that we are not putting a deficit on our financial statements.”

Overall, the school district sat with 11 per cent of their $37.4 million budget remaining at the end of May— $4.07 million left for June and the summer months—which Verigin felt was on track.

Although the district received some money back from the province ($56,000), it will have to do some creative accounting to account for most of the substitute expenditure overrun.

“Many other departments have been asked to stop spending and have had their equipment budgets frozen to help the situation out,” said SD20 superintendent of schools, Greg Luterbach.

Some planned school district purchases were put on hold, he said, noting there was money in the budget to replace vehicles for the district’s maintenance crew, as well as buy some new computers.

In the end it could not make up the difference in the budget. The reversal of fortune on the budget perplexed trustee Gordon Smith.

“I think the question is why the May expenditure was $150,000 when we

answer.

“It was disappointing and I cannot honestly tell you why we are seeing that,” said Luterbach. “I haven’t been able to go back and cost out what we actually did save as a result of the mitigating strategies to see if our projections were wrong.”

The mitigation was based on a previous year’s example that would have saved about $50,000.

The current budget projected for 2012-13 is $1.22 million for substitute expenditures. Last year the district budgeted $1.34 million but used $1.36 million, an increase of $477,057 over 200910.

Deadline looms for timber decision

BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

MLAs heard conflicting advice from industry and environmental interests, after a tour of the communities hardest hit by the beetle kill.

Their task is to see if there is enough timber available to rebuild the Burns Lake sawmill destroyed by fire in January, and to decide if affected areas protected for old growth, wildlife or visual values should be considered for harvesting.

Long-time B.C. environmentalist Vicky Husband told the committee the “elephant in the room” is mill overcapacity, built to deal with the huge areas with dead trees that are approaching the end.

“The result was a perfect storm of events – beetles ravaging one billion mature pine

trees and an industry building supermills and logging like crazy,” Husband said.

Committee members questioned whether maintaining pre-epidemic protected areas hit by beetle kill is the best thing for forest health.

“If we don’t go in and manage those and put the health of the forest first … and don’t go into these particular reserves, viewscapes, old-growth management areas, we will have more disease,” Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said.

Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley was sympathetic to the submission from Burns Lake, where residents pleaded for a solution that allows their largest employer to rebuild.

No criminal charges coming in emergency room death Man found dead after waiting 33 hours in hospital THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG Criminal charges will not be laid in the death of a Winnipeg man who waited for 33 hours in a hospital emergency room.

Police say an external review by the Crown attorney’s office in Saskatchewan has found no basis for laying charges in the death of Brian Sinclair.

Sinclair was a 45-year-old double amputee who died of a treatable bladder infection in September 2008.

Hospital security tape showed Sinclair went to the triage desk and spoke to an aide before wheeling himself into the waiting room. Some 33 hours later, another person in the waiting room approached a security guard to say Sinclair appeared to be dead.

Winnipeg police say more than 170 people were interviewed during a 10-month investigation.

Police concluded

the investigation last fall, but wouldn’t say at the time what - if any recommendations were made on whether charges were warranted.

Const.

Natalie Aitkin said the Sinclair case was unique with “unusual circumstances and a legal opinion is required to determine

if charges should be laid or not.�

The investigation began after pressure from Clayton Ruby, one of Canada’s top defence lawyers. Ruby said it was “inexplicable and shocking� that police did not fully investigate what happened in Sinclair’s case.

OTTAWA - Residents of a Toronto riding are left to wonder who will represent them in Parliament while the Supreme Court of Canada mulls a firstof-its-kind case into an overturned election, one that goes to the very heart of the democratic process.

The justices reserved their decision Tuesday in a Conservative MP’s appeal of a lower-court ruling that tossed out the result of last year’s federal election in Etobicoke Centre.

Defeated Liberal candidate Borys Wrzesnewskyj, who brought the original suit in the lower courts, said the case is vital to maintain confidence in the integrity of the voting system.

If the high court upholds the lower ruling, Prime Minister Stephen Harper will have six months to call a byelection, although Wrzesnewskyj said the vote should be held as soon as possible. “Should we win this case, it’s incumbent on the prime minister to act immediately,� he said outside the courtroom. “Democracy requires it. We can’t have this situation where we don’t know who the representative is.�

Waiting the full six months would set “a terrible precedent,� he added.

Wrzesnewskyj lost the riding by just 26 votes to Conservative MP Ted Opitz. But the defeated Liberal went to court, claiming procedural irregularities.

Earlier this year, an Ontario Superior Court judge found that Elections Canada officials made clerical errors at the polls. Justice Thomas Lederer threw out 79 votes and overturned the final result.

But Opitz appealed the issue to the Supreme Court - the first time that has happened. “At stake is the election,� he said. “So if it’s overturned, there’s a potential byelection, and we’ll go 5)& ,005&/":n4 05& &/":n4 0/-:

to that.�

Only five other election results have been nullified by the courts since 1949. None of those rulings were appealed and byelections were quickly called to re-determine the will of the people in each riding.

Opitz’s lawyer, Kent Thomson, argued that the voting rights of people in Etobicoke Centre were trampled by simple record-keeping errors. “It’s hard to think that a constitutional right of this importance could hang by so fine a thread,� he told the court.

The Etobicoke Centre result was overturned on the grounds that paperwork was not properly filled out for voters who needed someone to vouch for their identity or who were left off the list of electors. In his ruling, Lederer specifically stressed the irregularities were the result of clerical errors by well-meaning Elections Canada officials, not the product of fraud or intentional wrongdoing.

Since then, however, Wrzesnewskyj has resurrected other more serious allegations of ballot-box stuffing and voter suppression by Opitz’s campaign, though nothing has been proven. “People lost their franchise, they lose their right to vote. When people lose their right to vote, an election is not free,� Wrzesnewskyj said. “When ballots end up in the box that shouldn’t have been there because someone showed up without ID and without proper vouching was allowed to vote, or people were allowed to vote even though they weren’t registered, that’s not a fair election.�

Is Quebec a province like all the others?

N

ot if you listen to the usual suspects obsessing about how “dangerous” it is that the federal government has only a handful of seats in Quebec. Horror stories have abounded of late, including one about former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney expressing his fears about Quebec politics to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Ottawa’s alleged “weakness” is contrasted with the likelihood of a victory for the Parti Québécois in the looming provincial election. The nightmare picture painted for us is of a frightened federal government dominated by nonQuebeckers facing a strong provincial government committed to taking Quebec out of Confederation. Who would speak for Canada in a referendum campaign is the question asked in anguished tones by the professional doomsters.

For many years I have believed fervently that this way of thinking about the issue has it exactly backwards, and for once I think we may have a chance to test out which view is right.

Where we all got so badly off track was in convincing ourselves that because

Quebeckers were different and valued that difference that the rest of the country had to apologize for not being like them. Our differences were reason for us to feel guilty.

And if we protested that we too saw value in our thoughts, the way we behaved and the history that made us, we were bad Canadians, clinging to an outmoded past best bundled surreptitiously, like all family skeletons, into a dusty attic.

We acquiesced in rewriting our history to make Quebec a unilingual French-speaking province, when the English presence is nearly as old and every bit as legitimate as that of French-speakers. The rest of the country, including Ottawa, watched in silence as oppressive and revanchist policies were put in place that drove hundreds of thousands of Canadians from their homes in Montreal and elsewhere in Quebec simply because the province decided it would be made onerous and unpleasant to live, work and be educated in English there.

English-speaking Canada collaborated in the demonization of English Quebeckers with the dismissive epithet

BRIAN LEE

CROWLEY Troy Media

of Westmount Rhodesians, implying that law-abiding citizens whose only crime was to wish to preserve the language and the institutions their ancestors had legitimately established in Quebec were somehow a distasteful remnant of a repugnant colonialist and racist past.

In the name of celebrating “la difference” we went along with an orgy of public spending, tax rises, state intimidation of business, public debt and other policies that have so devastated the provincial economy that the last time I looked Quebec had nearly a quarter of the national population but a mere seventh of the private sector jobs. One reason for the decline of my beloved Montreal Canadians is likely the ruinous taxation the province imposes, driving

talented athletes as well as businesspeople to less confiscatory jurisdictions.

But lest Quebeckers turn around and blame Canada for their self-inflicted economic decline, we lessened the blow by massively subsidizing this perverse behaviour. We never breathed a word of criticism, however, lest it be taken as proof we despised Quebeckers and they were better off in their own country. In fact with each election and referendum we offered to up the bounty.

We accepted the emasculation of Ottawa to the point where we have to beg the provinces to tear down the barriers they themselves have erected to the freedom of people to buy and sell their goods and services to other Canadians across the land. Ottawa feels daring when it allows individual Canadians to buy a bottle of wine in Niagara or the Okanagan and take it home to Calgary or Sorel without fear of arrest.

These behaviours were sold as necessary to make Quebeckers feel “at home” in Canada, the price of “keeping the country together,” but they were nothing of the sort. They were acts of collective self-abasement. But

if I have learned anything about negotiations in life, it is that if you don’t respect and believe in yourself, the people on the other side of the table certainly won’t.

They will exploit your selfdoubt.

Our great failing vis-à-vis Quebec, then, has not been our unwillingness to change to accommodate them. It has been our unwillingness to demand their respect for our differences, and for the country. And if we do demand that respect, far from slamming the door on the way out, Quebeckers will find their emotional attachment to Canada renewed and refreshed.

On this I can cite no less an authority than one of the founders of the separatist movement in Quebec, Pierre Bourgault, who said, “Believe in yourselves and then maybe we’ll believe in you too . . . The day you believe in Canada as much as I believe in Quebec, 90 per cent of your problems will go away.”

Amen.

Downtown market a nice addition

I would like to extend a huge thank you to the Trail and District Chamber of Commerce and the City of Trail for allowing the residents of the Kootenay Boundary to enjoy a Farmers Market in downtown Trail.

For those of you still unfamiliar, there is now a Farmers Market every other Friday in Downtown Trail. It is held on the Esplanade with tents meandering into way into Jubilee Park.

The setting could not be more beautiful. There is a wonderful breeze off the water and most of the vendors are shaded by the mature trees of the park.

During the market the organizers and City Counsellors can

be seen shooing the pigeons away from the tents and shoppers.

There is a cheerful attitude among all the vendors and shoppers. It seems that the idea for a downtown market is long overdue. The first market was held June 15 and all subsequent markets are on a bi-weekly basis.

The next one is July 13.

Most people I have spoken too agree that the only improvement needed at this time would be to hold it weekly, but as it is new to town we must bow to the judgement of the hardworking organizers and submit to the schedule set out. When all involved prove the viability of the market I am sure it will be

weekly.

There is a eclectic mix of merchandise for sale at the market. Everything from handmade jewellery, baking , doll clothes, homemade dog treats, hand stitched toys, herbal products and of course produce.

The market is held from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. so there is loads of time to stop by before you head out of town for the weekend.

So come on down this Friday morning and either participate as a vendor of shop and support local artisans and farmers. I bet you won’t find a more pleasant way to spent a Friday morning in Trail.

Clarifying the airport’s background I’m writing this letter to clear up some misconceptions about the Trail Regional Airport, which may arise from statements made in the article “Regional airport’s impact studied “ published July 6 in the Trail Times.

One could conclude from statements made in the article that the Trail Flying Club operated the airport prior to 2005.

The Trail Flying Club has never operated the airport.

Originally built by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company (Cominco) it serviced their in-house flying service used for exploration in Canada’s north.

Operational responsibility then passed to the City of Trail and finally to the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary where it resides today. It has always been a public use airport open to all types of aircraft operations including medevacs and charters.

The Trail Flying Club is proud of the role it has played since 1947 providing volunteer labour to keep the airport oper-

ating and actively promoting the value of the airport to the whole community.

When Northern Hawk Airlines approached the local communities in 2004 with a proposal to begin scheduled service to Vancouver the airport needed to become “certified� to allow for scheduled airline service. This would not have been allowed under the old level of classification.

This certification was completed in record time by a group of individuals from the Regional District, Community groups and the Trail Flying Club. The time span for this successful certification bid was so remarkable the BC Aviation Council recognized this group with its 2005 Award for Excellence in Airport Management.

Trail Flying Club members continue to supply volunteer labour at the airport, some as airport attendants, others provide many different services required to keep the airport functioning in line with its commitments to Transport Canada.

The Flying Club owns the building currently being used as the passenger terminal and leases space to Pacific Coastal Airlines for their customer service functions. We are happy to be a part of Pacific Coastal’s success in the six years since they started providing service between Trail and Vancouver.

Trail Flying Club is convinced now more than ever that the Trail Regional Airport is a vital asset for our communities and has a positive economic impact on the region.

We’re not sure that all local politicians share this view. If you agree that the Trail Regional Airport is of value to our area I urge you to go online to wavepointconsulting.ca/sectors/aviation and show your support for the airport.

This will ensure that the improvements required to allow the airport to continue to grow and provide excellent service to the citizens of our region will happen.

seven numbers correct and are sharing that part of the pool with one other person from Ontario. Some lucky soul in Quebec won $50 million off the same draw.

Chris Fairclough, a spokesperson for the B.C. Lottery Corporation, says a winner has 52 weeks to claim their prize.

“Most often what happens is people buy a couple of tickets and they’ll check them once a week,” said Fairclough.

“It’s not unheard of that people will wait weeks or months before they claim their ticket. Some people stick it in a safety deposit box.”

Until then, the BCLC simply has to sit

“We have to wait for them to come forward,” said Fairclough.

The corporation can’t even release the name of the gas station or retailer where the winning ticket was sold.

“We can’t release where it was purchased until after they come forward because it’s one of our security measures to verify that the winner is indeed the winner,” said Fairclough.

All he can say is: anyone in Cranbrook who bought a ticket in Friday’s draw could be sitting on $369,000.

The winning numbers are 14, 26, 31, 34, 37, 45, 48, and bonus 38.

B.C. SUMMER GAMES

Games provide starting point for future Olympians

BY BLACK PRESS

The visiting San Diego Stars flashed their talents in the field and at the plate rallying for a 7-5 win over the Trail Orioles Monday night at Butler Park. The two teams wrapped up their two-game series last night. Results from Tuesday were unavailable at press time.

Orioles have wings clipped by Stars

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

Slow and steady almost wins the race.

The Trail Orioles played a slow and steady game against one of the top U.S. touring teams Monday night at Butler Park, climbing out of an early 4-1 hole to lead 5-4 heading into the ninth, only to lose the cross-border exhibition game 7-5 after a couple of late inning errors.

The Orioles’ steady play did not go unnoticed by San Diego Stars field manager known as Mickey D. He lauded the entire Orioles roster for its “sound fundamentals,” and in particular the pitching of starter Scott Rhynold.

“He was steady and didn’t get rattled when we scored the three runs in the third inning,” he said.

“It looked like we were going to run away with the game but he just kept coming and next thing you know they had us down 5-4.”

For a hometown team with local talent—and not going outside the area to bring in big league and college talent—Trail has “quite a community of ballplayers here,” he added.

Playing outside of their regular Pacific International League schedule, the senior men’s team kept the ball in defensively, got the ball back into the infield where it belonged, and made their

Smokie grads net academic nods

BY TIMES STAFF

GUY BERTRAND FILE PHOTO

Scott Jacklin was one of two former Trail Smoke Eaters named to the Atlantic Hockey Association All-Academic Team on Monday

A pair of Trail Smoke Eater graduates based in Pennsylvania was recognized for their scholastic achievements on top of their athletic prowess.

Scott Jacklin, a freshman at Robert Morris University, and Nick Sandor, a sophomore at American International College, were named to the Atlantic Hockey Association’s (AHA) AllAcademic Team on Monday.

To qualify for the honor, a student-athlete must earn a 3.0 grade point average or better in all academic terms during the course of the season.

For Jacklin, the academic

kudo comes on top of a standout rookie season with the RMU Colonials.

He scored 14 points in 31 games and earned consecutive AHA Rookie of the Week honours.

During his stint with the Smokies, the Kimberley native colleted 165 points in 159 games.

Meanwhile, Sandor made the academic team for the second consecutive year. He produced seven point sin 33 games for the Yellow Jackets.

The North Vancouver native had 106 points in 104 games with the Smokies.

When the Olympic and Paralympic Games begin in London, there are a number of Canadian athletes who will remember their first multi-sport experience at a BC Games.

Twenty-four athletes on the Canadian Olympic team started their journey to London with a trip to the BC Games including 2008 Olympic gold medallist Carol Huynh (wrestling), and recent Giro d’Italia winner Ryder Hesjedal (cycling).

As part of the athlete development pathway, the BC Games are a first multi-sport experience for young athletes that lead towards provincial and national teams and ultimately the Olympic or Paralympic Games.

The BC Games are part of a strong provincial sport system that provides an outstanding training environment and support services for high-performance athletes.

Shot-putter Dylan Armstrong of Kamloops is one of Canada’s great medal hopes at the 2012 Olympic Games.

He is a shining example of a B.C. athlete who has developed to international success with support through all the stages of the athlete pathway. Involved at a young age with the Kamloops Track and Field Club, he represented the ThompsonOkanagan Zone at the 1995 and 1996 BC Summer Games.

Games was next before winning gold for Canada at the 2007 and 2010 Pan American Games. All eyes are on this BC Games alumnus to better his fourth place finish from the 2008 Olympic Games.

Swimmer Brent Hayden of Mission is another medal contender in London.

Brent competed at the 1998 BC Summer Games and reflected, “The BC Summer Games was the point in my career when I realized that I had the potential to go further.

It was soon after that that I decided to switch from being a summer swimmer to training all year round. It is clear that I wouldn’t have noticed my own potential without the BC Summer Games.”

The full Paralympic team will be named later this summer but former BC Games athletes Bo Hedges of Fort St. John (wheelchair basketball) and Adam Rahier of Powell River

(Swimming) will be part of the team.

Over 2,300 athletes between the ages of 10 and 18 will be at the 2012 BC Summer Games, which kick off just one week prior to the start of the Olympics. It is an inspiring experience that will ignite the dreams of many young athletes to pursue their sport to the highest level.

A veteran of the Canadian Women’s Soccer team, Karina LeBlanc from Maple Ridge remembered, “It was an amazing experience because I did dream of one day being at the Olympic Games and it was the closest thing for me to it, so it made me want to be there that much more!”

Watch for the next generation of Olympians and Paralympians at the 2012 BC Summer Games, July 19-22. See the complete list of BC Games alumni heading to London at www. bcgames.org.

inning.

The Orioles added another run midway through the game before they picked up three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to put the Stars on the hot seat.

However, the Stars broke it loose in the ninth inning. They got runners on base with a couple of bunts and, coupled with two infield errors, chalked up three runs for the win.

“I didn’t think that Trail was going to rout us at that point in the eighth … but they hung in there all of the way. It was a good ball game,”

said Mickey D. The win gave the American visitors the first of a two-game series, with the second game late Tuesday evening.

The Trail games were an excellent test for the Stars—all drawn from the collegiate ranks—as they head west for the Kamloops International Baseball Tournament this weekend.

WANT TO REALLY IMPROVE YOUR GAME? TAKE A KID! Birchbank Golf and NGCOA Canada members will offer free golf to kids under the age of sixteen who are accompanied by a paying adult during the Take A Kid to the Course program taking place July 9-15, 2012.

Developed by the National Golf Course Owners Association Canada to encourage families and juniors to take up the game of golf, this cross-Canada campaign is designed to illustrate how easy it is to improve both your score and your relationship with your children by bringing them out to the golf course.

“Golf provides kids with valuable life skills, such as perseverance, patience, and respect,” states Jeff Calderwood, CEO of the National Golf Course Owners Association Canada. “They will enjoy quality time with family and friends and experience an activity that takes them away from the computer and into the great outdoors.”

Merit Golf Vacations has generously donated the Grand Prize consisting of roundtrip airfare to Tampa Florida, 3-nights accommodation (deluxe guest room) at the Saddlebrook Golf Resort in Tampa, including a daily continental breakfast and three rounds of golf at either the Saddlebrook Course or the Palmer Course with a golf cart and advanced tee times.

The NGCOA Canada thanks the National Sponsors; Coca-Cola Bottling Company, Dollco Printing, and Merit Golf Vacations.

Please call Birchbank Golf at 250-693-2255 to book your tee times in advance.

In their last trip to the big dance two years ago, the Stars placed fifth in the nation.

Even with the pedigree of the Stars— spawning ex-major leaguers such as former Atlanta Braves Jacques Jones and Minnesota Twins Marcus Giles— Mickey D. was encouraged by the change he noted in the Trail baseball.

“I’m impressed in the fundamentals of the Trail players. They used to bring U.S. players in, college players, but not anymore. These are hometown, homegrown guys and they are good,” he said. “We have clubs down there (in San Diego) that Trail would beat, I have no doubt. They are that fundamentally sound.”

LEISURE

Remain sober over the long haul to rebuilt trust Dear Annie: I’ve been dating “Dayna” for eight months, and we moved in together three months ago. We fell in love from the moment we met.

I’m normally a calm guy. However, two months ago I made a mistake. I went out drinking with friends and was dropped off at home so drunk that I briefly blacked out. I got into an argument with Dayna and apparently gave her a black eye. I spent a month in jail on domestic battery charges. To my surprise, she did not break up with me, although we no longer live together.

We each moved back in with our parents.

I know our relationship was moving too fast, but I believe in my heart that Dayna is the one for me. On the night of the incident, I had so much alcohol in my system that I’m pretty sure I would have fought with anyone who crossed my path.

ANNIE’S

MAILBOX

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

Currently, I am enrolled in courtordered classes on domestic violence.

Although I know I don’t deserve her anymore, Dayna is still by my side, and I feel blessed for that. I made a promise to God while in jail to put the bottle down for good. I lost my job because of it, and it could have cost me my girlfriend. I’m not that person anymore.

Alcoholism runs in my family. I’m a 27-year-old collegeeducated guy who dealt with problems by drinking because that’s what my family did. I’m determined to break the cycle and have made the first step toward

that goal. I see life differently now, and all I want to do is make Dayna happy again. I know it will take time, but I’m determined to make it right with her and her family.

I love my girlfriend and hope to marry her one day. How do we bounce back from this horrific nightmare? -Sad and Depressed Dear Sad: You need to rebuild Dayna’s trust. We are glad that you acknowledge your drinking problem and have taken steps to overcome it so you don’t repeat your mistakes. Dayna needs to know that you will remain sober over the long haul, through good and bad, and this takes much more time.

Find a job, get your own place, live a solid life, and prove to Dayna that you are a man she can respect.

Dear Annie: I have been a widow for 12 years and am now engaged to a wonderful man. I want to invite my

close friends and family to our wedding. Do I also need to invite my late husband’s brother and sisters? It would make me sad to think about my late husband with my fiance’s family there. -- Indiana Dear Indiana: If you are close to your late husband’s family, they would undoubtedly appreciate an invitation and would be hurt if you excluded them. But if you believe they would not want to come or could not enjoy themselves, it’s perfectly OK to send an announcement instead.

Dear Annie: I had to respond to the letter from “New Jersey,” who is upset that her son’s girlfriend does not clear her plate or say “thank you” for gifts.

Our son’s wife was exactly the same, and initially, I was equally appalled at her lack of manners. As time went on, I realized that our daughter-in-law is a sweet girl who grew up in a family where

she had no modeling of these social behaviors.

She simply didn’t know what was expected or required.

I started asking her for help with the small tasks involved in putting on a meal, and she happily complied. Over

time, she began to catch on to these social conventions. She has come a long way, and we love her for all she does to make our son happy. -Pleased Mother-in-Law Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy

LEISURE

YOUR HOROSCOPE

By Francis Drake For Thursday, July 12, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be on the lookout for new ways to earn money, because this is entirely possible today.

You also might see new uses for something you already own. (Handy.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve your appearance. (Hey -- you never get a second chance to make a first impression.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Research of any kind will go well today. If you’re looking for answers, dig deep, because this is the day to find them!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might find yourself playing a new role in a group setting today. Alternatively, you might meet someone who is very powerful in a group.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Authority figures, including bosses and parents, might see you in a new light today.

Don’t hesitate to show your best side, especially with respect to suggestions about how things can improve.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might refine your beliefs about something today. Or you might see new avenues in publishing, the media, medicine and the law.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Keep an open mind to how you can share something with others. You might be able to take an entirely new approach to something that is jointly owned. (It could benefit you more.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Sit down with partners or close friends and think about how you can improve your relationship. You both want

it to be positive and successful, so what can you do to make it better?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a good day to introduce reforms at work. Your suggestions about how to improve things will meet with approval.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Romance and flirtations are quite powerful today! Lots of high energy will encourage

you to have fun or to excel in sports.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Look for ways to improve bathroom areas or anything related to plumbing, garbage and recycling. You also might see new applications for something you already own. (It’s a resourceful day!)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You can sell ice to the Eskimos today because you

are so persuasive. The same mental energy will help you study or learn something new if you wish, because you have a very penetrating mind.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re an excellent observer of the human condition. You’re committed to your ideals and persuasive in your arguments. This makes you an influential person within your family and your larger social sphere. You know how

LOCAL WHAT YOU SEE ...

SALMO

Sinkhole blamed for pond leak THE NELSON STAR A sinkhole in the dam at the the HB mine site south of Salmo has been determined as the primary cause of the slough that threatened the stability of the tailings pond last week.

Heavy rainfall throughout the month of June was a contributing factor to some seepage and the initial slough.

In the process of relieving pressure on the dam, the sinkhole was discovered on the inside of the face approximately 1.8 metres below the normal high water mark.

Geo-technicians and engineers from the Regional District of Central Kootenay have been working since the slough last Tuesday using pumps to draw the water level behind the dam down to a safe level.

The pumps are running strictly to match inflow levels.

The sinkhole was revealed as the level of the pond was reduced.

Using tracer dye, it was confirmed that water flows from the sinkhole were a significant factor in the partial slope failure. Those flows have now been stopped.

Regular monthly and annual inspections would not have revealed the sinkhole given its location and depth in the pond.

Emergency remediation work is ongoing to build an additional supporting berm on the dam face to ensure stability and retention of tailings. Crews are using excavators to place rock and fill materials to remediate the failed area and buttress the slope.

The area is much drier than when the slough occurred and engineers have determined it is safe to do the emergency work.

Engineers are determining the best method to permanently remediate the sinkhole and in doing so further improve the stability of the dam.
