TRAIL GARDEN CONTEST
Discerning judges grading local gardens BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
People who don’t have a background in art don’t always understand the components of a unique design, but land art can evoke feelings everybody can enjoy. Two out-of-town judges will be visiting 65 concealed gardens in Greater Trail over the next two days to select three winners for the 10th annual Trail Garden Contest Tour that takes place on July 28. After the judges submit their results, the Trail Garden Committee will prepare tour maps of gardens open for public viewings. The tour maps will be available by donation in Ferraro Foods the weekend before the event. And this year’s entries will be scrutinized on some stringent and aesthetic criteria. “Understanding the elements of a design is only one aspect of enjoying a garden,” explained Helen Sebelius, a

“We’re given an adjudication form that covers cleanliness, general arrangement, quality of the materials, variety and period of bloom,” stated MacKinnon. “But things I like to see are good coordination of colours, variety of the structure and some continuity in the garden. It’s very challenging because we want to give everybody merit—these gardens are all beautiful.” The winners will be awarded prizes on July 24 at the Colombo Lodge Piazza around 7 p.m. Gardening enthusiasts can attend the event, toast one another and enjoy refreshments during the awards ceremony. “We’re calling it the Mad Hatter’s Tea and we’re encouraging people to wear hats,” said Lynne Worosz, a member of the garden committee. “If they do, they get a rose and that’s on the same day as the garden tour. It’s sort of like an open house.”
The realities of spring runoff could jilt cyclists who have a need for speed. High water levels have dramatically altered the terrain of the Kootenay Columbia Trails Society (KCTS) and the society has asked the community to practice safety while using the trails this season. Trails in the area have been significantly alffected by the heavy spring runoff, creating all sorts of new risks for outdoor enthusiasts, said Isaac Saban, president of KCTS. “I think the biggest concern is for “They’ve all been mountain bikers affected to some traveling down at high speed, even degree but only if there’s a certain five or six (trails) speed that they’re were really used to traveling at, they may not have heavily been on the trails impacted.” this year,” explained ISAAC SABAN Saban. “You could come up to a trail very quickly and it will be far rougher or have more debris than there used to be.” Saban went on to explain that it’s important to learn about the terrain before rushing back into extreme sports this season, at least until the trails have been repaired. “They’ve all been affected to some degree, but only five or six were really heavily impacted,” he said. “I would hope that by the end of the trail season, we will have most of them rebuilt and back in order, but it could be mid-September by the time we get to all of the trails.” Water is part of the issue, but it also comes down to crew availability. The KCTS has a crew of four people who are out working on repairing the trails everyday. In addition, the trails manager, Stewart Spooner, will be spending some time on the ground as well. “They’ll be out there with hand tools doing their best to repair the tread,” Saban explained. “Hopefully, we can improve some of the drainage issues so that similar problems won’t occur in the future.” The crew is currently working on the North End of the Seven Summits trail and will repair Crown Point, near the South side of Trail Creek,

High school gearing up for blended learning BY ARNE PETRYSHEN Rossland News
Rossland Secondary School will be one of the first schools in British Columbia to delve into a new realm of learning called blended learning. The goal is to provide personalized and inquiry based learning in a blended learning environment, which will offer students a variety of courses, even within a smaller school environment. Karen Lavender, the school’s new principal said the new approach will only affect grades 10-12 at the school, as administration switches to a 21st Century learning model. The blended learning structure leaves behind set timetables and gives students a structure of open resource areas and structured seminar times. Lavender explained that what it will really be doing for the grade 10 to 12 is opening up their learning potential. “Students will still take specific courses and they will still come out with their course credits,� Lavender said. “They will still be matching all of the learning outcomes required for each of the courses. What looks different is that instead of going to math class at a specific time on a specific day, the kids can pick when they do their math and they can pick when they do their phys-ed and they pick when they do their art.� Students will have resource areas, a classroom with a teacher and 30 kids in it, she explained. There will be a math/science resource area that will always have a teacher there. “It will always be open, the same thing with the English/Socials area,� she said. “The elective areas won’t be open all the time but it will show when it is open.� Students will manage their time with the help of a facilitating teacher, which will include when they’re going to take what course and how long it’s going to take them to finish the course. They will be able to take courses by semester, as they are currently do, or they can take them over the whole year span. For example, if a ski academy kid decided that they want to have fewer courses through the ski season they can do that. They could focus their course time between September and the middle of November, and the beginning of April and end of June. She said the students would still have courses through the ski season, but maybe just one or two. “They can pace the course as they like, with the help of the facilitator who makes sure that their progress is continually moving forward and they’re not going to end up at the end of the year with a huge pile of work on their plate,� she said. “Teachers will be resourcing the areas available for one-on-one help. They’ll also be running seminars that kids can sign up for depending on the course. “ Lavender said some of the main benefits are that students will become far more independent learners.

Proposed regional licensing up for debate BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
A proposal for a regional business licence could cut $10,000 annually out of the city’s revenue stream, according to City of Trail staff estimate. City corporate administrator Michelle McIsaac told council at a recent meeting that implementing a proposed regional business licence program— stretching from Nelson to Trail and over to Grand Forks— could reduce revenue in Greater Trail’s own regional business licence program. The program, now administered by the City of Trail, brings about $20,000 into the city’s coffers through the sale of business licences. “We already receive the greater share of revenue from regional
licence sales,� she said. “I estimate we could potentially lose that licence revenue each year if that model were to change.� Mcisaac did not believe the regional model they had in place could sustain an expansion to the reaches of the West Kootenay and the Boundary. But the model could also provide the city with more income, said city councillor Sean Mackinlay. In areas where the regional licence has been enacted, there has been an increase in sales of those licences, and an increase in fees. He pointed to a $200,000 increase in revenue at the City of Kelowna after they implemented a regional licence, with $80,000 coming from the city itself.

Questions remain over old mine BY MEGAN COLE Nelson Star
As repairs and analysis of the HB mine site’s tailings pond begins, Nelson city councillor Donna Macdonald is congratulating regional district staff and consultants on identifying and dealing with the problem quickly. Macdonald was part of a group of Regional District of Central Kootenay representatives who visited the pond this week. “It would have been a pretty serious disaster had things gotten worse,” she said following the visit. “We’re lucky the inspection caught it when it did and engineers and crews moved in really rapidly, and the provincial emergency program was there. A lot of attention was focused on it very quickly to prevent what could have been a very unpleasant event if the material had slid further down slope and eventually across the highway and into the river.” The regional district discovered a sinkhole this week, which was determined to be the cause the slough, and seepage, which occurred last week. “What they surmise to be the cause of the slide or slough from the dam, which they found on the upper side of the dam after they lowered the water, they discovered this vertical flat pipe and over time water had been seeping in along that pipe. Gradually the seepage built this sinkhole, and when the very heavy rain happened, that was the final straw. Water just surged through that sinkhole and into the dam.” There is some confusion around whether it is the responsibility of the regional district or of Teck to manage the ponds, and Macdonald said there would likely be lots of questions and answers going forward. Mine tailings are usually produced from the mine in a slurry form, which is a mixture of fine mineral particles and water.
Society maintains 145km of trails FROM PAGE 1 and Raven’s Rock, a trail leading from the hospital to Miral Heights, when the water levels decrease. Routine maintenance will also take place throughout the course of the season. The society maintains 145 kilometres of non-motorized trails around the area from Fruitvale, Montrose, throughout Trail and into Warfield and Rossland. In the last year there were 120,000 trail usages, with $85,000 in funding from local government, and through membership money, donations and other fund raising initiatives they have a budget of nearly $100,000. The society’s site now includes elevation profiles of the trails, detailed topographic maps in pdf form, uploaded pictures of trail features and a brief set of directions to get to the trail head.

Former NHL linesman Bob McLaren of Victoria was in Trail to watch his son, Roland, play for the San Diego Stars earlier this week, and decided to perform a few of his calisthenics and exercises in Gyro Park. At 67 years young, McLaren exhibited the fitness aptitude and prowess of a man half of his age, thanks to an exercise routine he has developed over the years.
Staff investigating program’s feasibility FROM PAGE 2 “So there may be some losses or there may be some gains,” he said. “If it is determined to be a loss that is some thing we won’t go further with.” It was passed in the meeting that city staff would contact the B.C. Chamber of Commerce to begin investigation as to the feasibility of creating such a program. The proposed regional licence would cover business people who work in more than one community to earn their living, including Rossland, Trail, Nelson, Castelgar and Grand Forks. Under the licence, a business owner would only need to purchase one business
licence in the community of choice, but it would apply to all others. This move would eliminate the need for business owners, like construction contractors, to buy separate licences in each community they may find work in. It was intended to encourage business in the region, and allow those people who may operate under the table and only purchase one licence to come above board. But has there been a demonstrated demand from the business community for this kind of service, asked councillor Kevin Jolly. “It seemed like in other areas once people realized they could get this, they did
not want to fly under the radar anymore, they wanted to make sure they had a fully licenced and insured business,” said Mackinlay. “So, creating this opportunity can create the demand.” Currently, there are only five such regional licences operating in the entire province. The city study will determine if there is actually a cost benefit analysis that can be made for the move. Greater Trail has had a regional business licence in place since the mid 1980s, available for a higher price than a single municipal one, for those who wished to operate from Rossland to Fruitvale, and everywhere in between. Mackinlay was part of a
meeting with the executive directors of the local chambers of commerce and the B.C Chamber of Commerce on the topic. Since the five chambers were all within less than one hour from each other, the provincial chamber urged the region’s municipalities to investigate a regional licence. “I think that, with all of the construction that is going on in the region, and the fact that if you are a specific kind of tradesperson, in order to get that bigger market you need to have the entire population of the region supporting you,” he said. “We don’t want to be a burden on business. We want to get as much going as we can around here.”

Cops collar YouTube’s speeding biker BY NATALIE NORTH Saanich News
A Victoria man suspected of filming himself careening down the Trans-Canada Highway at speeds reaching 300 kilometres per hour now faces a criminal
charge. Randy George Scott, 25, was charged on Tuesday with a single count of dangerous driving. Scott is accused of weaving in and out of traffic at high speed on
the stretch of highway from McKenzie Avenue past the Millstream interchange on April 6. A two-minute video shot from a first-person perspective behind the handle bars of a Yamaha R1 motorcycle was posted to YouTube on April 8, went viral and quickly caught the attention of police. “The is an egregious example of someone
who is disregarding all norms of traffic safety. You can hardly put words to it,” said Saanich police spokesperson Sgt. Dean Jantzen. “It’s a very scary piece of video. I’ve watched it several times.” Police identified Scott early on in the investigation as the suspected driver, but at the time, didn’t have

enough evidence to proceed with charges. Given the initial lack of evidence, Jantzen said, police were only able to issue tickets against the registered owner of the vehicle, Scott’s mother. Those charges under the Motor Vehicle Act are proceeding independently from the criminal charge laid against Scott, who is a familiar face to police across the region through past contacts, Jantzen noted. According to court records, Scott has amassed a long list of driving infractions over the past five years. There is currently a warrant out for his arrest. Three critical witnesses provided enough evidence to connect Scott to the video, which led to the criminal charge. The motorcycle remains property of the Crown after being seized under the Civil Forfeiture Act.
Pensions for retiring MLAs slammed BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press
VICTORIA – Veteran B.C. Liberal MLA Murray Coell has added his name to the list of politicians retiring from the B.C. legislature, as the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation renewed its criticism of the MLA pension plan. Coell, MLA for Saanich North and the Islands since 1996, announced he will not stand for reelection next spring. Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer announced the same decision earlier this week, joining Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy, Vancouver-Fraserview MLA Kash Heed and Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger in retirement from the B.C. Liberal caucus effective May 2013. Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman used Hayer’s departure as an example of what the CTF calls gold-plated pension payouts available since the MLA plan was reinstated in 2007. The CTF calculates that Hayer will likely collect $47,600 the year he turns 65, increasing to $62,900 a year by the time he is 80 due to inflation protection. Coell served several cabinet posts, most recently as labour minister after the 2009 election. Since pensions are based on an MLA’s highest three earning years, Bateman calculates that Coell’s pension kicks in at $89,000 a year. The CTF says taxpayers contribute $4 for each dollar paid by politicians. MLAs must serve six years to be eligible. If defeated before then, they get a 15-month severance.

ALBERTA
Pipeline safety issues come to forefront EDMONTON - Calls for an independent review into pipeline safety in Alberta are growing, with some saying it’s even more urgent now that a U.S. investigation has sharply criticized a Calgary company’s efforts to clean up a major oil spill. “If we don’t have tough regulations in place making sure that our pipelines are very safe, then people are not going to accept pipelines coming through their territories,� said Bill MooreKilgannon of Public Interest Alberta. The left-leaning advocacy group is one of 54 signatories to a letter to be released today that calls on Premier Alison Redford to formally look into pipeline safety. That number more than triples the 17 names attached to a similar call made in late June. Environmentalists make up the largest number of names. There are local organizations such as the Davey Lake Group to global giants such as Greenpeace and the World Wildlife Fund. Landowners rights groups from across Alberta come next. Public sector unions including the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees and the
United Nurses of Alberta are on board. So are First Nations and public health groups. “The time for leadership on pipeline safety is now, and the first step must be an independent pipeline safety review,� says the open letter to Redford. Earlier this
week, the National Transportation Safety Board in the U.S. compared the efforts of energy company Enbridge Inc. to clean up a massive spill in Michigan’s Kalamazoo River to silent-movie slapstick characters the Keystone Kops. The board said the

the ruling is likely to have a major financial impact on educational institutions of all levels across the country that pay millions a year for the right to photocopy. The court also decided that there should be no copyright fees levied on cable companies or other digital providers when music is downloaded, but that artists should be compensated when it is streamed
online. In another case, the judges found that movie theatres, broadcasters and cable companies shouldn’t be charged for the music that’s part of a film or a TV program that they are showing. Similarly, software companies that sell their video games online should not have to pay royalties for the music that is included in the games.

OTTAWA - The Supreme Court of Canada has reined in the application of copyright fees levied on music, video games and printed materials that Canadians use in different ways. The top court examined five different cases at once that touched on tariffs set by the Copyright Board. In one of the biggest cases, pitting ministers of education and school boards across the country against a body that collects royalty fees for publishers, the court sided with the educators. It found that the Copyright Board had incorrectly zeroed in on teachers who photocopied materials for their students rather than the students who were using them. The use of the works by students for study does not infringe the Copyright Act. The court sent the case back to the Copyright Board, but

Everything lovelier than trees to the RDKB
T
hose regional district staffers and elected directors who fancy themselves as environmental stewards are at it again. Vowing that the McKelvey Creek landfill will live long and prosper, they moved on the top threat to its existence – the trees and shrubs in your yard. They haven’t banned the refuse created by these public enemies outright, but rather have raised the tipping fees on them. While it costs $20 a ton to deposit contaminated soil at McKelvey Creek, branches, twigs and other nefarious forms of woody plant growth now face a levy of $50 a ton. Among other things, this threatens the bi-weekly yard waste pick-up service Warfield provides to its gardening citizens, which is pretty much everyone who lives in the village. Residents received a memo recently informing them that they could no longer simply trim their hedges or rose bushes, bag the clippings and set them out at the curb. Now they can haul this toxic stuff to
the dump themselves or presumably toss it over the nearest bank. To put these items in with grass clippings runs the risk of the village being dubbed a mixed loader, and charged $95 a ton instead of the $3 a load it had been paying to deposit all manner of yard waste. To get around this, the village’s contractor is now handling only bags of grass clippings, leaves and weeds, while the village crew drives around removing bundles of branches and dropping them at the landfill at a cost of $50 a ton. Villagers are left to chew on the small woody clippings they can’t bundle, or perhaps they can start a cottage industry and fashion them into wreathes or chip them for mulch. Perhaps the biggest absurdity of the regional district’s reasonable-in-theory desire to keep the McKelvey site going as long as possible, is what they are still enthusiastically accepting grass clippings. Any turf expert will tell you these are best left on your lawn to decompose and fertilize the up and coming sprouts. But instead

the garbage experts happily watch as mountains of the stuff are trucked to the landfill every week from April through October. I once asked a Regional District of Kootenay Boundary dump guy why there aren’t any user-friendly programs to divert this stuff. The RDKB could buy lawn mower mulching blades in bulk, or store coupons, and give them away or sell them at a nominal cost. Then they could run a public awareness campaign on the benefits to the environment and your lawn of leaving the clippings in place. His response was, “we don’t do that sort of thing.” What the RDKB does do is offer seminars on how to create in-home worm
farms using organic kitchen waste. Hands up those of you likely to run up and down your basement stairs with containers of slop for the greater glory of the landfill. (Hail, Hail McKelvey, the glorious canyon of trash.) All of this stems from the kind of bureaucratic command-and-control view of the world and nutty economics reflected in a conversation I had with another garbage expert a number of years back. The RDKB was looking at local landfill options and was circulating a report detailing the costs of closing the existing site and creating a new dump in the area. Included in the cost of closing McKelvey was an estimate of decades’ worth of lost tipping fees. I tried pointing out that if you built a new landfill the fees would be collected at that site. No, the expert insisted, a full and responsible costing of the options must account for those lost fees. Decision-making proceeded on the basis that if you had two dumps you would suddenly have twice as much
garbage. McKelvey Creek is a great facility that should be husbanded to defer the economic and environmental costs of creating a new landfill and trucking our refuse further a field. But trees are not the enemy. When the RDKB renovated its Rossland Avenue headquarters several years back, a contractor spent months drilling in the parking lot to install a ground thermal heat system to reduce the building’s “carbon footprint.” When I inquired as to the magnitude of the extra cost of this undertaking, the response was “we don’t know, it’s part of the overall contract.” Perhaps the thinking was that, given the analytical prowess displayed in costing dump options, what was the point. But if the RDKB is serious about doing its bit to combat climate change, it should stop beating up on the trees and shrubs in its citizens’ yards. They are, after all, the biggest carbon sinks out there. Raymond Masleck is retired Trail Times reporter.

fact, the Christian Democratic Party currently leads the coalition government in Germany, and civil rights are still safe. The Western prejudice against Islamic parties (and local prejudice as well) comes from a confusion between Islamic and “Islamist� groups, the latter being the English word for fanatical groups that reject democracy and advocate violent jihad against infidels and “heretical� Muslims. This confusion, sad to say, is often deliberately encouraged by Western and local interests that really know better, but want to discredit those who oppose them. It didn’t work in Egypt, where the Muslim Brotherhood’s party won both the parliamentary and the presidential elections. This did not please the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces and its allies from the old regime, and they arranged for the Egyptian Supreme Court (whose members were all appointed by the old regime) to dismiss the new parliament on a flimsy constitutional pretext just two days before the presidential election last month. Egypt’s newly elected president, Mohammad Morsi, has refused to accept the army’s decrees, and a delicate game is underway in Cairo in which he is trying to discredit the soldiers and gradually drive them back into their barracks without risking an open confrontation that could trigger an actual military coup. He will probably win in the end, because the army knows that the masses would promptly be back in Tahrir Square if it did try a coup. And if Egyptians don’t like what their Islamic government does, they can always vote it out again at the next election.

Might as well go for a soda Editorial from the Kamloops Daily News No one is ever going to confuse New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg with libertarian darling Ron Paul, though some may wish Bloomberg had the individualistic ideals of the presidential candidate. Indeed, many New Yorkers probably wouldn’t mind a little common sense from Paul in the city’s latest brouhaha over soda. That’s right, pop. There’s no new Occupy movement, demands for crime control, or calls for a crackdown on clueless tour-
ists. It’s much simpler: protesters are rallying for their right to consume sugary drinks. Bloomberg has proposed new rules for super-sized drinks in restaurants, movie theatres, sports arenas, food carts and delis. Anything more than 16 ounces go down the drain. Well, if Americans know anything, it’s their rights. If they want to kill themselves smoking cigarettes, drinking booze, eating fast food or, as in this case, gulping cola like it’s water, then that’s their right. Bloomberg even-
tually relented a little when he gave a response to The Million Big Gulp March, saying if New Yorkers wanted to kill themselves with sugar, “I guess you have the right to do it.� But he still wasn’t backing down from his plan. We all know sugar is white death. We all know pop is nothing but empty calories. And we all know those empty calories are contributing to the obesity epidemic in the U.S. But here’s the rub: individual Americans are more responsible for health-care costs than in most other countries. That alone gives them
the choice to do to their bodies whatever they wish, no matter how harmful it may be - as long as the substance is legal. That is what America is all about. Personal choice, personal freedoms. As one protester said during the small demonstration this week: “When do we say enough control is enough? It’s a slippery slope. It’s not how our country was founded.� A statement full of hyperbole? Sure. But no one can be blamed for wariness over giving an inch when politicians often see hope of taking a mile.

PEOPLE MARATHON SWIM
OBITUARIES JACOBSON, HELGE RONALD (RON) — June 1, 1932 to June 25, 2012 Ron has gone fishing… it is with deep sadness and loving memory we say farewell to Ron, a proud and loving father, grandfather and friend! Ron was born in Cranbrook B.C. on June 1, 1932, the oldest of 4 children. Ron spent the majority of his 80 years in the West Kootenays, roaming the hillsides; riding the train to Nelson; helping his neighbours, working and raising a family. Ron was well known for the generosity of his talents and the time it took to get the job done RIGHT! A perfectionist at heart he kept the bar high for himself in everything he did. The West Kootenays were his home and his community with lifelong friendships and memories. Ron would be most proud of: • His marriage to Joan Delores Wandler November 20, 1954… it was love at first sight. Ron and Joan were married for 52 years when Joan died June 21, 2006. • Completing his machinist apprenticeship with Cominco, July 1955. Ron was a proud tradesman; his son Terry followed the trade’s path as a journeyman lineman and his grandson Justin as a journeyman electrician. • His children Terry Ronald Helge and Karen Louise. • His daughter’s choice in a husband from Alberta. There was not a visit that went by that Darcy didn’t remind Ron of the outstanding dowry owed to him. • His grandchildren Justin, Shaylen, Devon and Dakota. Ron and Joan spent many hours and days with their grandchildren. They were the light of their lives and the pride and joy of their hearts. Much time was spent at Mirror Lake where the grandchildren were encompassed in love and summer time fun. Immeasurable experience, teachings and relationships each of them will carry forward through their lives. • Family immediate and extended. • Working for Comico and West Kootenay Power and Light Company and retiring after 38 years of service. • Being of Swedish stock… a stubborn old Swede he was right till the end. Ron had an opportunity to travel to Sweden with his brother and his brother’s wife in 2008 where he was able to con-
nect with many of his relatives and see some of the country. • Being a staunch NDP his entire life, campaigning and supporting the party. Ron did nothing to harm the earth he lived on. He was a great outdoors man, loving the experience of hunting and fishing and the beauty of the mountains and streams. He was always careful to leave the land as it was prior to his arrival. Ron was a strong, good man. He was a planner and a thinker and meticulous in the execution of his plan. There was no such thing as can’t, there was always a solution to every problem. He could fix, repair and build pretty much anything. He had a great mechanical mind. Ron had a great love for sports, spending many hours supporting local minor and senior hockey, as a fan for his children and then his grandchildren. When not at the facility, Ron spent many hours in front of the TV cheering his teams on. Ron had a second chance at love with Eileen Madelung. Ron and Eileen were in middle school together in Nelson. Eileen remembers Ron as a shy handsome young man she had a crush on back in the day. Three years ago Ron and Eileen had the good fortune to cross paths, reconnected by mutual friends. Their common community, common memories and common friends made their relationship an easy transition. Eileen lifted the loneliness Ron was living in and brought a sense of life and purpose back to him. Through Ron’s relationship with Eileen he had the good fortune to develop valued friendships with her son John and her daughter Judy and husband Steve. Ron died at the Kootenay Lake Hospital on June 25, 2012 with his daughter Karen and his partner Eileen by his side and holding his hands. Many of his family and friends visited him in his final days, surrounding him with love. Ron is survived by his son Terry of Summerland, BC, his daughter Karen Donahue (Darcy) of Fort Macleod AB, his 4 grandchildren Justin, Shaylen, Devon and Dakota, his 2 brothers Eugene and Garry and his sister Marilyn and their spouses and children, his sister in laws Louise, Sheila, Yvonne, Judy and Debbie and bother in law Gary and their spouses and children. Ron was predeceased by his loving wife Joan Delores Jacobson, his father Axel and mother Alida. A Celebration of Ron’s Life will be held on Saturday August 4,
2012 at: The Nelson District Rod & Gun Club, 801 Railway Street, Nelson B.C. V1L 5P7. Time 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Luncheon to follow. Following the Celebration of Life there will be a Graveside Service for immediate family. If you have any stories or memories you would like the Celebrant to share at Ron’s Celebration of Life please forward by July 30, 2012 to: Email: karen.donahue@gov. ab.ca or mail to: Karen Donahue Box 1414 Fort Macleod AB T0L 0Z0 Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Thompson Funeral Service Ltd. Online condolences may be expressed at www.thompsonfs.ca *** ATKINSON, GORD — All are invited to a gathering of friends and family to remember Gord Atkinson and the life he shared with us. This will take place at the Rossland Legion, July 18, 2012 at 1:00 PM. Due to construction, please use the rear parking lot and entrance. *** ROBISON, LILLIAN PEARL — July 12, 1919 - June 29, 2012 Lillian was born in Fusilier, SK and was the 9th of 12 children. She lived in Beattie, SK until 1941 when she moved to Trail to help out in her brother’s church and radio station. She met Harry on a blind date and they married in 1947. They were together for 52 happy years until Harry passed away in 1998. She loved her family, her home and her friends. She had a smile for everyone and was always ready for a cup of tea and a visit. Lillian is survived by her son Brian (Joyce) Robison of Strathmore, AB, daughter Risa (Wally) Kosar of Fruitvale, daughter-inlaw Sheila Robison of Red Deer, AB, 7 grandchildren and 7 greatgrandchildren. She was pre-deceased by her parents, 11 brothers and sisters, husband Harry, son Scott, granddaughter Debbie, grandson Dustin and great-grandson Nicholas. Cremation has taken place. The family will hold a private service at a later date. We would like to thank Dr. Libby McCoid, friend Sharon for all her time and caring, Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services and especially the wonderful staff of CVL Special Care Unit for their understanding, caring and compassion making Mom’s last years comfortable and happy.

ROLLING STONES
Band celebrates 50th anniversary of first gig THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON - Mick Jagger may need to rethink the words he sang more than 45 years ago “What a drag it is getting old.” Thursday marks 50 years since Jagger played his first gig with a band called the Rolling Stones, and the group is marking its half-century with no letup in its productivity or rock ‘n ‘ roll style. Jagger himself is still the cool, rich frontman of the world’s most successful rock band. Now in their late 60s and early 70s, the band members celebrated the anniversary by attending a retrospective photo exhibition at London’s Somerset House - and looking to the future by rehearsing for new gigs. Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts mingled with celebrities from Mick Hucknall to Tom Stoppard at a launch party for the exhibition, which charts the band’s career from their first official photo shoot - young mop tops lined up against a row of red phone boxes - to their monster stadium tours. The band got together 50 years to the day after the young R&B band played London’s Marquee Club. Taking a name from a song by bluesman Muddy Waters, they were billed as “The
Rollin’ Stones” -the ‘g’ came later. The lineup for the gig was vocalist Jagger, guitarists Richards and Brian Jones, bassist Dick Taylor, pianist Ian Stewart and Mick Avory on drums. Taylor, Stewart and Avory soon left the lineup; drummer Watts joined in 1963 and guitarist Wood in 1975. The band had its first hit, a cover of Chuck Berry’s “Come On,” in 1963, and soon became one of the world’s biggest and most influential rock acts, rivaled only by The Beatles. “Music critic John Aizlewood said the Stones’ contribution to rock ‘n’ roll is “immeasurable.” “They are a founding father of rock music as we know it,” he said. “Other bands have tried and not pulled off that amount of sexiness, allied to a kind of street-fighting menace.” Aizlewood said the Rolling Stones have endured where other bands have split because “they are smart enough to put the band ahead of the individuals, despite their collective egos.” He said they are also canny businessmen, and realized early on that “once you get to a certain level, if you maintain your live performance, you can play stadiums forever.”

LIFESTYLES HELP FROM THE HEART
Pets and hot cars don’t mix THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - Good Samaritans, temperature guns and tougher laws are the newest tools in the campaign to keep animals out of hot cars, where just minutes can mean death. Heatstroke affects every organ in the body, said Dr. Ben Brainard, an associate professor of critical care who helps run the emergency room for the University of Georgia’s College of Veterinary Medicine. As a dog begins to get hot, it will become
anxious, agitated and start pacing, Brainard said, which heats the dog even more. Then the dog will start drooling, maybe frothing at the mouth, vomiting and defecating, the veterinarian said. As the heat starts to affect the dog’s brain, it will stumble, lose its balance and have trouble standing. It will then collapse, and finally lose consciousness, Brainard said. If you are able to reach an overheated dog, use water to cool it off. “If the dog is non-responsive, get it wet and head to the vet,� Brainard said.

In a Hurry We often look for God in great miracles or dramatic happenings. As I write this it is a beautiful summer afternoon. The sky is a lovely shade of blue with a few brilliant white puffy clouds oating by. Outside my window the wind is rustling the leaves in the tree. Just down the street I hear a number of children laughing. I am reminded of something I read about ďŹ nding God in the small, everyday things of life. For example it says the sounds around us, the singing of the birds, the wind rustling through the leaves in the trees, the laughter of children, the barking of a dog, beautiful music and so much more. Pause and pay attention to the sounds around you and listen for God. Look for God in the sights around us. Here in British Columbia we just have to glance up and see the majestic mountains to see God but there are lots of other things, the sky, owers, trees, full moon, faces of family and friends and so much more. Become aware of the lovely smells that are around, fresh air, owers, fresh cut grass, something good cooking and so much more. God rules over all. Sometimes there is discord and strife, loneliness and sickness and sadness. That is part of our broken world. We need to take the time to be aware of God each day. Look for Him in the sounds and sights and smells of our world. Then realize that He cares for you. All this is yours to enjoy and to draw you to Him. Major Heather Harbin The Salvation Army

July 15 In 1099, the Muslim citizens of Jerusalem surrendered their city to the armies of the First Crusade. The Crusaders then proceeded, through misguided religious zeal, to massacre thousands of unarmed men, women and children. In 1779, Clement Moore, an American Episcopal educator, was born. His fame endures today, not as a theologian, but as the author of a completely mythical poem: “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.�’ In 1882, Thomas Moore founded a corps of the Salvation Army in Toronto, the first in Canada. --July 16 In 622, Prophet Mohammad fled from Mecca, where he was despised and persecuted, to the northern city of Medina, marking the day of beginning of Hegira, the Islamic calendar. The word “hegira� is Arabic for flight. In 1054, the Great Schism between the Western and Eastern churches began over rival claims of universal pre-eminence. In 1965, 911 years later, Pope Paul VI and Patriarch Athenagoras I met to declare an end to the schism. --July 17 In 1505, future church reformer Martin Luther entered the Augustinian monastic order at Erfurt in present day eastern Germany. He was 21. In 1674, Isaac Watts, an innovative pioneer of modern English hymn writing, was born. Among his many beloved sacred compositions are: “Joy to the World� and “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross.� --July 18 In 1536, the English Parliament passed an act declaring the authority of the pope void in England. In 1870, the Vatican I Ecumenical Council issued the proclamation Pastor Aeternus, declaring the pope’s primacy and infallibility in deciding faith and moral matters. --July 19 In 1692, five Massachusetts women were hanged for witchcraft. Fifteen young girls in the Salem community and as many as 150 citizens in the area were charged with witchcraft during the greater part of this year. In 1904, construction began on the Liverpool Cathedral in England. The cathedral was completed 20 years later and consecrated on this same date in 1924. --July 20 In 1648, the Westminster Larger Catechism was adopted by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland at Edinburgh. This and the Shorter Catechism have both been in regular use among Presbyterians, Baptists and Congregationalists ever since. In 2005, Bill C-38 was given royal assent, making Canada the fourth country in the world to legally allow same-sex couples to wed. --July 21 In 1773, Pope Clement XIV issued the brief, Dominus ac redemptor noster, officially dissolving the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). This politicallybased suppression afterward left conspicuous gaps in Roman Catholic education and foreign missions. In 1925, the famous “monkey trial� ended in Dayton, Tennessee. John T. Scopes was found guilty and fined 100 dollars for teaching Darwin’s theory of evolution. Scopes, who was defended by famed lawyer Clarence Darrow, later had his conviction overturned. The case was portrayed in the film “Inherit the Wind.� In 1963, Giovanni Battista Montini was elected Pope Paul VI.

The Trail Stingrays are getting used to hoisting trophies. The team won the Colville Meet last weekend marking its fourth straight meet championship this season.
Stingrays’ wave of success continues BY TIMES STAFF The Trail Stingrays continued to leave its competition in its wake following another successful meet last weekend. The swimmers headed south of the border for the annual Colville Valley Sharks meet and for the third consecutive year the team captured the overall title. It not only continued a successful string in Colville but kept the Stingrays perfect winning all four “A” meets the team has attended this year. Swimming in Colville bodes well for the club. The Colville pool will be the site of the regionals Aug. 4 and 5. Coach Samme Beatson raved about some of the individual performances over the weekend including the efforts of Melissa Pitman, in her first meet of the year, and Maria and Elyse Phelan, in their first ever meet. Of course many of the accomplished swimmers continued to outdistance their

competition as the Stingrays topped the field with a whopping 3,297 points. Leading the way was Dylan Kormendy who broke two Div. 1 records. He posted a time of 49.612 seconds in the 50m breaststroke bettering the old record of 50.90. He was at it again in the 50m backstroke clocking a time of 44.68, which was almost a second better than the previous best of 45.30. Needless to say Kormendy went on to win the aggregate gold in his division. Maddie Green participated in the “Guts and Glory” Challenge swim. The event features 100m of swimming in all four disciplines – butterfly, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly. Green outlasted the competition finishing first with a time of 6:11. Ian Markus and Reid Dunham took gold and silver respectively in Div. 2. Josh Ballarin and Diego Greenwood gave the Stingrays another one-two

Jennifer Chung was golden in Div. 5 while Green and Daniel Merry both took silvers in their respective events. The Stingrays won double gold in Div. 6 with Cassidy Martin and Eric Gonzalez leading their respective fields. Oleg Liferovich was second. On June 30 and July 1, Beatson traveled to Kelowna with Stingray athletes Jennifer Chung and Sharman Thomas for the Kelowna invitational swim meet. Both athletes achieved a majority of best times and represented the club with pride. Chung highlighted the weekend by finishing second overall in Div. 5. The team will have a short trip to Castlegar this weekend for the annual Aquanauts meet.
and Braden McKay of the RosslandTrail Country Club as well as Alex Rugg and Garrett Underwood of the Champion Lakes Golf Course failed to make the cut after Wednesday’s second round. Meanwhile, Hoodikoff took full advantage of his third round shooting a 73, his lowest score of the week. That total put him in 19th spot at plus-nine heading into today’s final
There was a public outcry when R.A. Dickey did not start the All-Star game, a journeyman for the Chicago White Sox threw a perfect game and the Pittsburgh Pirates of all teams were in first place as the first half of the baseball season drew to a close. What’s next, post-season baseball in the nation’s capital? It sure looks that way. An eventful and unexpected first half that included Dickey knuckling his way to stardom with the Mets, Phil Humber’s out-of-nowhere perfecto for the White Sox and the Yankees muzzling former slugger Reggie Jackson after some disparaging comments about Alex Rodriguez is only expected to get more intriguing as the season rounds second and heads for third. The non-waiver trade deadline is looming at the end of the month, and the Baltimore Orioles and White Sox got ahead of the curve by acquiring Jim Thome and Kevin Youkilis, respectively, to bolster their offences. Milwaukee’s Zack Greinke, Philadelphia’s Cole Hamels and Arizona’s Justin Upton could be headed elsewhere as the contenders and pretenders separate themselves. “There’s several teams involved in races right now,” said Detroit manager Jim Leyland, whose Tigers joined the Phillies and Red Sox on the list of big-spending underachievers in the first half of the season. “There’s probably going to be a lot of teams that would like to go out and get somebody. But the more teams that want to get something, the tougher it is to get it.” And there’s even more motivation for deals to be made in the first year of baseball’s expanded post-season. The Fall Classic will be a little wilder this time around. A new format kicks in this year that adds an extra wild card team to each league. That means 10 teams will have a chance to get in and go for it all. The Orioles, who trail the Yankees by seven games in the AL East, haven’t been to the postseason since 1997, the Pirates haven’t been there since 1992 and the nation’s capital hasn’t hosted a playoff baseball game since 1933, when Mel Ott homered to help the New York Giants beat the Senators for the championship. That was long before Natitude, long before “that’s a clown question, bro” and certainly way before the All-Star game decided home-field advantage in the World Series. It’s a new day, and if Bryce Harper and the Nationals or Andrew McCutchen and the Pirates somehow Buc the odds and make it to the Series, they’ll be hosting the party after the NL beat the AL 8-0.
round. Hoodikoff had an eagle and three birdies on the front nine but a triplebogey on the par-4 fifth hole inflated his front-nine score to a one-under par 36. He fired a two-par 37 on the back nine to close with 73. That still left him 15 strokes behind the leader Kevin Kwon of Pitt Meadows. Kwon sits at six-under par and three strokes ahead of Victoria’s
Matthew Broughton in second place. *** Tom Kite set a USGA championship, nine-hole record with a 28 and finished at 5-under 65 to take the early first-round lead at the U.S. Senior Open in Michigan on Thursday. His nine holes included five birdies and an eagle. With files from Associated Press

Baseball card found in attic may be worth millions THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DEFIANCE, Ohio Karl Kissner picked up a soot-covered cardboard box that had been under a wooden dollhouse in his grandfather’s attic. Taking a look inside, he saw hundreds of baseball cards bundled with twine. They were smaller than the ones he was used to seeing.
But some of the names were familiar: Hall of Famers Ty Cobb, Cy Young and Honus Wagner. Then he put the box on a dresser and went back to digging through the attic. It wasn’t until two weeks later that he learned that his family had come across what experts say is one of the

biggest, most exciting finds in the history of sports card collecting, a discovery worth perhaps millions. The cards are from an extremely rare series issued around 1910. Up to now, the few known to exist were in so-so condition at best, with faded images and worn edges. But the ones from the attic in the town of Defiance are nearly pristine, untouched for more than a century. The colours are vibrant, the borders crisp and white. “It’s like finding the Mona Lisa in the attic,” Kissner said.
Sports card experts who authenticated the find say they may never again see something this impressive. “Every future find will ultimately be compared to this,” said Joe Orlando, president of Professional Sports Authenticator. The best of the bunch - 37 cards - are expected to bring a total of $500,000 when they are sold at auction in August during the National Sports Collectors Convention in Baltimore. There are about 700 cards in all that could be worth up to $3 million, experts say. They
include such legends as Christy Mathewson and Connie Mack. Kissner and his family say the cards belonged to their grandfather, Carl Hench, who died in the 1940s. Hench ran a meat market in Defiance, and the family suspects he got them as a promotional item from a candy company that distributed them with caramels. They think he gave some away and kept others. “We guess he stuck them in the attic and forgot about them,” Kissner said. “They remained there frozen in time.”
NHL
Selanne signs for 20th season THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ANAHEIM, Calif. - Teemu Selanne is returning to the Anaheim Ducks for his 20th NHL season. The 42-year-old Selanne has agreed to a one-year, $4.5 million deal, the Ducks announced Thursday. The Finnish Flash is the 19thleading scorer in NHL history with 1,406 points in two decades spent largely in Anaheim, his home for parts of 13 seasons. Selanne is 12th
in league history with 663 goals. Selanne has been with the Ducks for the past seven years, winning the Stanley Cup in 2007. He led Anaheim with 66 points last season while playing in all 82 games. Although Selanne annually contemplates retirement, his return to the Ducks has been widely expected. He had a long summer to recover from the season when Anaheim missed the playoffs.

Final decision about funeral attendees falls to mother Dear Annie: My parents divorced acrimoniously when my siblings and I were young. My brother, “Tim,” was a difficult child and was arrested when he was 11. The local law officials offered the option of handing custody to my father as an option to avoid a sentence to juvenile hall. Once my father had custody, my sister and I had very little contact with either of them. My sister and I occasionally have tried to reconcile with Tim for our mother’s sake, but we have been unsuccessful. Our mother is 70 and now wants to put her legal affairs in order. After our father’s death, my sister and I were cut out of Dad’s will. After the death of our paternal grandmother, Tim was found to be the sole heir to her estate. It surprised the other relatives because the change in her will happened only a short time before her death.
ANNIE’S
MAILBOX
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
My mother’s will and other legal documents show she intends her estate to be divided equally between my sister and myself, with Tim receiving a small token amount. My mother also asks that my brother not be notified of her death until six months have passed and preferably not until the estate is settled. Mom doesn’t want him to show up, loot the house, put on a show of grief for the community and then disappear. My mother has worked hard, unsupported by anyone, to earn every single thing she has, and I want to honor her wishes.
But my sister says Tim should be allowed to attend Mom’s funeral. We haven’t been in contact for four years. I am willing to go along with the funeral part, but refuse to allow him in her house. What do you think? -- Funerals Are for the Living Dear Funerals: There are legitimate reasons why your mother does not want Tim in her house, and you should honor those wishes. Having him at the funeral is something you should discuss with her. If the possibility of him displaying some artificial show of grief won’t bother you or your sister, your mother might reconsider notifying him in a more timely manner. But the final decision actually is the responsibility of those who plan the funeral, because they must live with the consequences. Dear Annie: I have been in an on-againoff-again relationship
with “Dexter” for two years. I was still married when we got together, but was divorced six months ago. My ex lives in another state. Dex was engaged once before for five years, but called it off. The problem is, when Dex and I talk about our future, he gets distant, although he has said he sees us getting married down the road. I asked him to move in with me, and he did, but now I’m starting to wonder whether he would rather the relationship continue as it is. Is it wrong for me to want him to man up or move on? -- Confused Dear Confused: If you want marriage, you’ll have to make it clear to Dex and set a date. If he backs away, you will know where he stands -- and it isn’t beside you in front of a minister. Dear Annie: “Surprised Husband” has been married for 45 years, and for the
past 10, he’s been upset because friends told him unpleasant things about his wife before he married her, and she refuses to discuss it. What his wife did before he knew her is none of his business.
Every person in this world makes mistakes. I’d tell him to go out and get a life. Volunteer, go to church, get a parttime job, and put the past behind you. Life is too short. I have been married for 45 years to my dear
husband. Not once did either of us question the other’s past. If I were this man’s wife, I would get out of this marriage and find happiness elsewhere. -- Appalled at His Behavior

CLASSIFIEDS
SUNDAY/MONDAY HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Sunday, July 15, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Look your best at all times, because old flames will pop up out of the woodwork -you can count on it. (Living well is the best revenge.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Stock the fridge, because relatives soon will be camped on your doorstep (if not already). In the month ahead, you can expect to see relatives and family members you haven’t seen for a while. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be able to finish up old business with siblings and neighbors. However, on a day-to-day basis, your efficiency is suffering due to misplaced papers and confused communication. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The next month is a poor time to start a new business. However, it’s an excellent time to finish up old work related to your earnings.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) People from your past are back in your life again. You also might find things you had previously misplaced, or you might lose new things! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a wonderful time to do research or find answers if you’re digging for solutions. It’s easy to go back in time now. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) It’s interesting (or maybe not) running into old friends now. Expect to encounter people from your past in the next few weeks. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Although this is a poor time to pitch a new project to a boss, this is a good time to get people to agree to something you’ve been working on already. It’s time to play catch-up. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Any kind of research or study -- especially history, the study of the past -- will
go very well now and in the next several weeks. Travel, on the other hand, will suffer from delays. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Now and for the next few weeks, it’s an excellent time to tie up loose ends regarding inheritances, insurance disputes, taxes, debt and anything to do with shared property. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Ex-partners are back on the scene again. This could be an opportunity for closure, or it could be a real drag. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your efficiency at work will suffer this month due to confused communication, misplaced paperwork and silly errors. However, it will be easier to finish old work. YOU BORN TODAY You know how to get what you want because you are resourceful and influential. You know how to use material that you acquire for your own benefit as well as the
benefit of others. It’s important to appreciate your ability to influence others. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved with for nine years will diminish or end in order to make room for something new. Birthdate of: Iris Murdoch, author; Tristan Wilds, actor; Rembrandt, master painter. For Monday, July 16, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) With Mars opposite your sign now, it’s easy to be annoyed or irritated by others, especially partners and close friends. Stay frosty. (These are the people you love.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re certainly willing to work hard this month. In fact, you’re delegating as much as you can in order to get a lot done! Be a role model for others. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re very keen to get away on vacations now, because you’re in a playful mood. If you’re involved in sports, you’ll also be much more competitive than usual. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Renovations at home or major changes probably are taking place now. This means you have to be more patient with family members, right? (Naturally.)
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your communication with others will be forceful and direct this month because Mars is lending energy to your speech and writing. Fortunately, this will help you get a lot done! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Although you’re working hard to earn money now, you’re also spending it like it’s going out of style. Unless you have a money tree in your backyard, be careful. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Try to get increased physical exercise or be more active in sports. Mars in your sign gives you lots of energy but it can also build up within you and make you irritable. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Secret love affairs or secret activities of some kind are taking place now. This is no surprise, because you are by nature a secretive sign. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Group activities, especially group sports, will please you now. You feel competitive and eager to show others what you can do. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your ambition certainly is aroused this month. Actually, this is well-timed because, after all, this is your time of harvest. Yippee!
SATURDAY’S CROSSWORD
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might be surprised at how much you want to travel to “get away from all this.” You feel a need for adventure and new knowledge because you want to expand your world. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Disputes about shared property, taxes, debt and anything that is jointly held are likely now. Fortunately, if they relate to your home, you’ll likely be happy with the outcome. YOU BORN TODAY You’re passionate about whatever you do. (You’re not a quitter!) You’re also a romantic who is very impulsive. (This is why your life is full of adventure and excitement.) Whenever you discover something wonderful, you want to share it with the world. Fantasy and escape are often big themes in your life. Your year ahead is the beginning of a fresh, new cycle. Open any door!

Out on a warm sunny day, Christian Therrien went for a drive to one of his favourite locations near Fernie. What he found when he was there was stunning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normally when I am here I find mushrooms. I have found a lot of five and 10 pound mushrooms, but when I came upon this one I was shocked. There was lots of laughing and screaming,â&#x20AC;? says Therrien. What he came upon was a huge 57.4 pound puffball mushroom. Therrien recalls the last biggest mushroom found in the area was years ago, and weighed just under 25 pounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first time I have ever seen one this big, it is absolutely amazing,â&#x20AC;? he says. After taking plenty of photos and sharing the sight of this massive mushroom with friends and family Christian says he will return
