High Columbia River flows create water woes in Trail BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
Rising water levels in Genelle have raised red flags about the impact of the Columbia River in Greater Trail. The Glenmerry pump station is beginning to look like a water vessel, according to Alan Stanley the director of environmental
services at the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB). The water pump station at Glenmerry should be several metres from the shoreline, but the extreme flows of the Columbia River have reached the point of no return, and they are infiltrating the safety overflow mechanisms.
“It’s ridiculous where the water is, it’s right up against the building and it’s supposed to be many meters from the shoreline,” Stanley indicated while explaining that a crew of divers will be examining whether a device can be used to plug the backflow of water coming into the lift station. “It’s the highest the river has been since
this building was designed and built in the late ‘60s,” Stanley explained. “I’ve been here for five years so I have little long-term history and knowledge of these events, other than the fact that in terms of our sewage records, we’ve never seen anything like what we’re dealing with now.”

TRAIL CITY COUNCIL
Downtown plan shifts gears with MOT decision BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
Less than one week after Trail city council boosted the planned city Gateway project by two thirds to $300,000, the downtown revitalization venture received a minor setback Monday night. In their council meeting Monday night, it was learned the province’s Ministry of Transportation (MOT) could not work within the timelines for the city’s fledgling Gateway design and still complete the Victoria Avenue repaving plan next month. As a result, the province will be delaying paving that was expected to begin at the end of July. Although the city will now have to wait until next spring to see the paving completed, the move will save the city money in the long run, said councillor Kevin Jolly. “Obviously I wish it could happen quicker,” he said. “But there is still activity that will take place in that corridor.” The Trail Memorial Centre will still be painted, and the A and W restaurant will continue with renovations, while the city will move forward with a project in an adjacent park with respect to a gateway entryway feature, possibly an archway. MOT planned to repave Highway 3B (Victoria Avenue) in the Trail and Warfield area. The city had hoped to dovetail elements of the Trail Downtown Plan into the paving project and create an entranceway, or gateway, into the city. Although the total Gateway plan comes in at a weighty $1.4 million, council felt the Bay Avenue intersection was the highest initial priority and the spirit of the project was approved under a budget of $300,000 last Thursday. The Downtown Opportunities and Action Committee (DOAC) will narrow the focus of what will now be done. The realm of the Victoria Street opportunities could include curb bulb-outs, removal of existing sidewalk and expansion to two metres wide, new decorative paving, trees, accent lighting and relocated street light to an island.

Rising river floods Genelle with concerns BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
Something smells, and it isn’t the smelter. The community of Genelle encountered a series of inescapable problems involving rising water levels and the regional sewer system late last week, but BC Hydro predicts that the water woes are merely a catch-22 for residents this summer. The waterfront community—located 12 kilometres northeast of Trail—is under flood watch by the region’s emergency program coordinator after water from the Columbia River spilled over its
banks last week. Dan Derby, deputy fire chief for the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB), said it has been monitoring the situation in Genelle for more than one week. “We’re out there on a regular basis,” he said Tuesday, noting that he is aware of the impacts that are a result of the floodwater. In a number of places Derby noticed erosion from the river and water covering the lower levels of the Whispering Pines Trailer Park. “We’re continuing to get calls on minor issues because of the ground being super
saturated,” Derby said. According to some residents, flood water and sewage has seeped into some homes in the lower regions of the trailer park, leaving water on some of their floors. The RDKB director of environmental services, Alan Stanley, said the high water levels are affecting the Glenmerry pump station and the main sewage treatment plant by Waneta Plaza. “We’re worried about our infrastructure and, basically, our sewer lines,” he said. “They are under the river right now and they’re not supposed to be.”

Berm in place for residents FROM PAGE 1 Currently Genelle is being protected by BC Hydro’s newly constructed berm, an action that stems from the first damage recorded on 17th Avenue and Lower China Creek Road. The berm is expected to prevent further flooding on park homes, in addition to protecting the roadways. While residents sit tight in anticipation of what their neighborhood will look like by the time water recedes from any areas that have been jeopardized areas, the local authorities are searching for solutions. Last Thursday the owner of Whispering Pines, Barry Thoen, held a public meeting to address concerns about the rising water levels. At the time, he had no concerns about the septic field, which he indicated was five-

per cent of the historic maximum flows ever seen during the major pre-dam flood years of 1948 and 1961. On Friday BC Hydro allowed the Arrow Lakes Reservoir to reach its full pool level of 440.1 m. (1,444 ft.) and predicted it will continue to rise as much as 0.6 m. (two ft.) above the normal full pool over the next several weeks, depending on weather conditions.
Bridge causes concern FROM PAGE 1 While strong currents in the river continue flowing, the City of Trail public works manager Larry Abenante and his team have been monitoring the Old Trail Bridge. He expected the high water levels to continue all summer, but was apprehensive about what kinds of damage it could have on infrastructure. “The (old) bridge is shut down because, structurally, it’s not sound,� Abenante said. “But we check it about three times every day. I’ve never seen the river like this before.� Other areas in Greater Trail—like the boat launch picnic area in Gyro Park—are also under scrutiny from watchdog city officials. “We’re urging caution because people who go down to those areas can forget where they are,� he indicated, stating BC Hydro predicted the high water levels were slated to stay for the duration of the summer season. BC Hydro has been monitoring the Arrow Lakes Reservoir water levels and Columbia River flows. A recent statement from their site said there is no risk to public safety because the Hugh L. Keenleyside dam was designed for a maximum Arrow Lakes Reservoir level above 440.74 meters (1,446 feet). However, a number of precautionary procedures and protocols are in place to manage these conditions, including 24-hour surveillance of the Hugh L. Keenleyside dam and regular checks downstream of the facility after every flow change. These initiatives are in place to help monitor downstream impacts.

LOCAL LOGGING IN A LOT OF TIME
Search continues for two in landslide debris THE CANADIAN PRESS JOHNSONS LANDING - Search-and-rescue crews are continuing their work with heavy equipment and excavators to recover the remains of two people who remain unaccounted for after a landslide in southeastern B.C. The B.C. Coroners Service is co-ordinating efforts to find 64-year-old Petra Frehse and a young woman whose sister and father were also victims in last Thursday’s slide. So far, the bodies of 60-year-old Valentine Webber and one of his two daughters have been located, though authorities have not confirmed whether the woman is 17-year-old Rachel Webber or 22-year-old Diana Webber. The coroner says crews are focusing their efforts on the area where those remains were found and around the foundation of the cabin where Frehse, a German national, lived. About 24 people are currently involved in the search. Three homes were destroyed when a creek burst and sent a powerful cascade of mud and trees rushing down onto the remote hamlet, about 130 kilometres northeast of Trail.
Cancelled: Music in the Park TIMES STAFF Due to a high risk of electrical storms in the Trail area this evening, Kootenay Savings Music in the Park in Trail has been cancelled. Unfortunately, the performance by the instructors from the Kootenay Fiddle Workshop will not be rescheduled. The Kootenay Fiddle Camp is a long-standing camp at Selkirk College with musicians from across the country and the workshop series were slated to end with a final jam at the Music in the Park series on July 17. Admission for the concerts is by donation at the gazebo in Gyro Park. For more information, visit www.trail-arts.com. The 2012 concert series is held every Thursday night until Aug. 30.
Explosion at pulp mill SALLY MACDONALD TOWNSMAN STAFF
There was an explosion at the Skookumchuck pulp mill on Thursday, July 12, Tembec is reporting. It occurred shortly after a power outage at around 3 p.m. on Thursday in the plant’s chemical preparation area and chlorine dioxide plant. No one was injured in the blast, but the mill was evacuated. “Our Emergency Response Team handled the situation very well,” said Linda Coates, Tembec’s Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs. The pulp mill was closed over the weekend. Tembec was in the process of restarting operations on Monday. “The explosion was due to a decomposition reaction of chlorine dioxide gas at high concentration,” said Coates. “We continue to investigate the incident with the assistance of operators and external chlorine dioxide plant process experts. In order to prevent re-occurrence, we have put systems in place.”

Arrow Lakes Reservoir expected to rise BY AARON ORLANDO Arrow Lakes News
BC Hydro is continuing to limit discharge at the Hugh Keenleyside Dam in order to mitigate flood damage below the dam, which is located just west of Castlegar. As a result, water levels on the Arrow Lakes Reservoir will continue to rise until an expected peak this week. As of July 13, the reservoir was at 440.486 metres (1,445.16 feet), 0.386 metres (1.16 feet) above normal full pool. It is rising at about 0.2 feet per day. The water level is expected to reach 440.588 metres (1,445.5 feet) by as early as Saturday July 15, 2012. This year recorded inflows to Arrow Lakes Reservoir from February to July 3 are the fourth highest when compared to inflows recorded in other years since 1970. “Without the operation of upstream Treaty dams, the peak flow in the Columbia River at Castlegar [and] Trail would have been approximately double the current flow and within five per cent of the historic maximum flows seen in the major pre-dam flood years of 1948 and

The high reservoir levels across the region are freeing and floating beached debris such as logs and stumps, creating a hazard for boaters. The Shelter Bay/Galena Bay ferry has been forced to weave and detour through concentrations of stumps and logs in the
past week. Walker-Larsen said Hydro is taking steps to have contractors in place to deal with the debris. “Debris removal work is already underway with contracting crews and equipment mobilized on Arrow Lakes Reservoir. Currently we have a debris contractor en route to the Shelter Bay/ Galena Bay area,” she said.

Mounties issue sweeping denial in high-profile harassment lawsuit in B.C. THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - The federal and B.C. governments are denying allegations in a high-profile sexual harassment lawsuit that prompted several other female Mounties to come forward with claims of abuse. Cpl. Catherine Galliford, who was a police spokeswoman on the Air India and Robert Pickton cases, first outlined her allegations in a series of media interviews last fall and filed her lawsuit in May. The provincial government and Ottawa, which acts on behalf of the RCMP, have now filed a joint statement of defence. The statement denies all of Galliford’s allegations and instead paints her as an alcoholic who refused treatment and rejected the RCMP’s efforts to keep her away from one of the men she alleged harassed her. The statement of defence says Galliford never alerted the force to her allegations before 2011, when she filed a formal complaint that was investigated immediately. The governments also dispute Galliford’s claim that a medical report provided to an RCMP doctor diagnosed her with post-traumatic stress.
Two sailors rescued from storm THE CANADIAN PRESS COMOX, B.C. - Two sailors were rescued off the northern B.C. coast Tuesday in a dramatic early morning operation that saw a rescuer to swim to the disabled boat in high winds and heavy seas. The mayday call came on Monday night, after the two men had lost their rudder, engine and sails about 50 kilometres south of the Haida Gwaii, also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. The joint rescue co-ordination centre dispatched an airplane and a helicopter to the scene after midnight. “The weather really closed in on them last night,” said Capt. Trevor Reid with the Royal Canadian Air Force on Tuesday. “There were 80-kilometre winds, four-metre seas, and they were also
30 miles south of Haida Gwaii, and it gets pretty severe weather up there from time to time.” Reid said two coast guard ships were also called in to help. An Alaskabound Princess Cruise Lines ship, the Star Princess, was also in the area. The ship was used to shield a rescue helicopter from the wind. Still, the 15-metre boat’s damaged masts, loose cables and torn sails meant it was nearly impossible to safely lower a search-and-rescue technician onto the vessel, said Reid. “What they decided to do instead was send a SAR tech down to the rear of the vessel, and the SAR tech basically swam through these swells to the boat,” he said. The sailors then helped the technician on board, and the men were hoisted onto the helicopter.

A search for a motorcyclist who vanished on a ride from Northern Alberta to the Okanagan community of Keremeos, B.C., ended under almost surreal circumstances along an isolated stretch of Highway 5, south of Prince George. Dennis Gordon Gudmondson’s motorbike and body were discovered Saturday down a brushcovered embankment, about 55 kilometres south of Valemount. A search for the 61-year-old Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., man began after he failed to show up at his fiancee’s home in Keremeos on July 8, but after days of looking and only one lead from debit card payments earlier that day in Prince George and McBride, there was concern the trail had gone cold. Until fate, and a group of Gudmondson’s friends and family, intervened. “Call it serendipity, call it higher power,” RCMP Const. Lesley Smith said Monday. She said family members from Alberta had arranged to meet with some of Gudmondson’s friends from Keremeos somewhere along Highway 5. Spotting each other’s oncoming vehicles, they pulled over to exchange hugs and condolences. “They just happened to meet right there. One vehicle was going north and one vehicle was going south,” said Smith. Someone wandered to the side of the highway and looked down the embankment and, incredibly, spotted the undercarriage of the overturned motorcycle in the bushes. Upon looking further, they discovered Gudmondson’s body nearby. Smith said no debris or skid marks indicated an accident scene and RCMP had already conducted a thorough search of that section of the highway, including an aerial survey. “From the air, it was extremely difficult to have been able to see that,” she said. “The undercarriage is dirty and not chromed. There’s no flash of the chrome or the vibrant blue that this motorcycle was.” “This bike landed in such a way that it was camouflaged from aerial as well as ground (search). That’s a long stretch of highway.”

VICTORIA - It’s back to the drawing board for Taseko Mines’ proposed New Prosperity copper and gold mine near Williams Lake. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency says Taseko needs to shore up its environmental impact statement after finding gaps, deficiencies and missing information in a draft report submitted by the Vancouver-based company. The federal regulatory body makes more than 200 comments in a review that concludes Taseko’s draft environmental impact statement does not address critical issues such
as fundamental water quality and fish habitat issues. The proposed $1.1 billion mine has a controversial history, because it was approved by the B.C. government but rejected by Ottawa, and lately permitted a second chance for approval by the federal government. Williams Lake-area First Nations fighting the proposed mine say Taseko’s poorly drafted environmental proposal confirms their view that the project should never proceed. Taseko spokesman Brian Battison says the company is preparing to submit a final environmental impact statement in the next few weeks.

PORT ALBERNI, B.C. - A 22-year-old Qualicum Beach, B.C. man is dead and two more people were rescued after a summer outing went horribly wrong near Port Alberni on Vancouver Island. Police say Cory Heinz died shortly after he and two female friends put their inflatable boats in the Stamp River in Stamp River Provincial Park Sunday afternoon and then floated down a steep waterfall. Port Alberni RCMP say the trio appear to have been unfamiliar the river, but experts say the waterfall is a class five and should only be tackled by experienced white-water rafters. A woman called police when she saw a body floating down the river and rescue crews found two women clinging to rocks in a rapidly flowing area of the waterway just past the falls. The women were taken to hospital with bumps and bruises. RCMP issued a warning about the river on June 26 after several tubers nearly drowned when they made a similar mistake.

BY DAVID FRIEND THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - Canadian retail organizations are urging Ottawa to create a stronger code of conduct for the credit card industry that would ensure merchants aren’t stuck with transaction costs when they accept Visa and MasterCard. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business said Tuesday that it is calling for new rules that give merchants more flexibility in what they accept at their cash registers. The group, which has more than 100,000 member businesses across Canada, wants changes to the federally regulated code that would allow retailers the right to refuse high-cost cards at their stores. The CFIB also wants the ability for merchants to add limited surcharges that would counteract the transaction fees charged by some credit card companies when customers swipe their higherend credit cards, which rack up points that can be used for travel or other bonuses. “Merchants have had a 30 per cent increase in their costs in the last two years because of premium (credit) cards,� said Dan Kelly, the president and CEO of the CFIB in an interview. “Those additional costs are finding their way into their service. Consumers are paying these fees already, and they’re going up.� The association is among those arguing against industry rules that force businesses who accept Visa or MasterCard to treat all types of their cards equally, regardless of the cost of processing the payments. The issue has been of concern to the Competition Bureau which argued in may that restrictive contracts put in place by Visa and MasterCard allow the two credit card companies - which represent 92 per cent of the market - to essentially dictate terms to merchants. The tribunal has the power to force credit card companies to change their method of operations, but it cannot levy a monetary penalty in the case. A decision is expected later this year. Last week, a landmark settlement in the United States between Visa, MasterCard and merchants thrust the debate back into the spotlight in Canada. The two credit card companies, as well as several major banks, reached an agreement to pay U.S. retailers at least US$6 billion to settle a long-running lawsuit that alleged the card issuers conspired to fix the fees that stores pay to accept credit cards. The dispute stretched back to 2005.

TORONTO - Toronto police were sending reinforcements Tuesday to a diverse east-end neighbourhood as they vowed to relentlessly root out the gunmen who opened fire at a bustling block party, killing two people and sending scores of others to hospital. About 200 people were at the barbecue party held outside a community housing complex Monday night when gunmen sprayed the crowd with bullets in what police are calling the worst incident of gun violence in the city’s recent history. Police said 23 people were sent to hospital with gunshot wounds, including a 22-month-old child who was grazed by a bullet and is in stable condition. One person was trampled in the stampede that followed. Some of the wounded, aged between one and 33 years old, have been treated and released. One male is undergoing surgery and remains in critical condition, police said. Officials identified the two people killed as 14-year-old Shyanne Charles and 23-year-old man Joshua Yasay. Police Chief Bill Blair said police suspect the shooting was gang related. “We believe from information that we have received to date that this altercation involved two individuals and as a result there was an exchange of gunfire,� Blair said at a news conference. A “significant� number of officers were deployed to the community Tuesday and Blair said they would remain for several weeks to soothe residents left shaken and fearful by the attack. Blair said police have received “some co-operation� from witnesses at the scene, and called on all community members who attended the party to help with the investigation. Police also asked for anyone with video or photos of the incident to send them in. The incident took place before 11 p.m. on Danzig Street near Morningside Avenue and Lawrence Avenue East.

Only eight months after the disgraced politician left the prime minister’s office by the back entrance to avoid the jeers of hostile crowds (they sang “Hallelujah” instead when they heard he was gone), he is talking about a return to politics before the elections next spring. And he could actually win. Even six weeks ago this seemed preposterous. “Berlusconi is so dead he doesn’t even wear his makeup any more,” said comedian Beppo Grillo, and the various trials that Berlusconi faced for bribery, fraud, tax evasion, and paying for sex with a
17-year-old girl were taking up most of his time. But if he is a political zombie, he is one with lots of luck and plenty of money. In February the bribery case, in which Berlusconi was accused of paying British lawyer David Mills to lie under oath in corruption trials in 1997 and 1998, ran out of time under the statute of limitations. (Mills was convicted of accepting the bribe and sentenced to four and a half years in jail, but his sentence was cancelled on final appeal because of the same statute of limitations.) And who shortened the time available to complete a prosecution? Why, Prime Minister Berlusconi, that’s who. Indeed, some people argue that Berlusconi first went into politics in 1994 to avoid conviction in various criminal cases. He changed the law on accountancy to escape conviction for false accounting, and so far his changes to the statute of limitations have let him escape from six separate prosecutions for corruption, embezzlement and tax fraud. His most recent escape was last week, when a judge
dismissed more tax-fraud charges against him because of the same statute of limitations. That left only one set of charges relating to financial matters and the case alleging that he paid for sex with a minor at one of his famed “bunga bunga” parties. But she denies it happened, and also denies that his gifts to her of jewellery and money worth $300,000 had anything to do with that denial. So the 75-yearold billionaire is confident that his legal problems are under control. He would be even safer, however, if he were back in office and able to rewrite the laws whenever necessary, and besides he obviously misses the limelight. So he has started talking about a political comeback – and the circumstances are looking quite promising for him. He was forced out of office last November because other European leaders were fed up with his embarrassing antics (at European Union summits they were going to comical lengths to avoid being photographed with him), and because the financial
markets had lost all confidence in his government. His main tactic in politics has always been to bribe the voters with their own money, and the Italian economy was going down the drain. So Berlusconi was pushed out, and the nonpolitical technocrat who became prime minister in his place, Mario Monti, was given the task of reining in spending and avoiding a default on Italy’s huge debts. At first Monti enjoyed 80 percent support in opinion polls, but as his spending cuts and tax rises began to bite his popularity sank. Besides, he has promised not to run in next year’s election anyway. Berlusconi’s party, People of Freedom, has fallen on hard times politically during his absence. By mid-June, however, the polls were saying that if he took back the leadership, it would win 33 percent of the votes in an election. “We are all asking him to run and I believe that in the end he will decide to lead the party,” said Angelo Alfano, the current leader of the Freedom People party, last week. Indeed,
many people believe that Berlusconi chose the colourless and unpopular Alfano as his successor precisely because it would make a comeback easier. Berlusconi is still being coy about his plans, but he is talking like a candidate. If he were in power, he hints, he would reverse Monti’s tax rises and revive the lavish spending pattern of his previous administrations. That would cause Italy to crash out of the euro, the common European currency, of course, but he had an answer for that: Italy should go back to the lira anyway. Italy has the thirdlargest economy in the euro zone, so that could bring the whole currency crashing down, but what does that matter so long as Silvio Berlusconi is doing well? The man is a scoundrel, but a charming and very clever one, and that is something that Italians cannot help admiring. You can’t fool all the Italians all the time, but you can clearly fool a third of them forever. Gwynne Dyer is a London-based independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

BoC retreats from rosy forecast on economy, rate at one per cent
MONDAY TO SATURDAY | 6:30 - 10AM
B R E A K FA S T S P E C I A L
BY JULIAN BELTRAME THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA - Low borrowing costs will remain for awhile longer after The Bank of Canada moved Tuesday to keep interest rates low, noting the economic recovery is being blown slightly off course by a perfect storm of global turbulence that is affecting all major economies. But in a statement that was not as dovish as some anticipated, the central bank gave no comfort to those looking for the next move to be an interest rate cut, rather than an increase. As expected, the central bank kept its benchmark policy setting at one per cent until at least the next policy meeting in September, but tellingly also maintained its bias toward tightening monetary policy in the future. The forward-looking bias is a bit of a surprise given that the bank ratcheted down its forecast for the economy from the relatively rosy 2.4 per cent growth rate in 2012 and 2013 to 2.1 per cent and 2.3 per cent for the two years, respectively. More aggressive expansion now won’t come until 2014 when the economy is forecast to grow by 2.5 per cent. And the economy won’t return to full capacity until the second half of 2013, about six months later than the bank monetary policy panel, which is led by governor Mark Carney, thought in April. Still on future policy action, it repeated the mantra of April. “To the extent that the economic expansion continues and the current excess supply in the economy is gradually absorbed, some modest withdrawal of the present considerable monetary policy stimulus may become appropriate.� CIBC chief economist Avery Shenfeld said that was a slap in the face to markets, which had been looking for a more dovish signal from Carney. “The market is now pricing in a rate cut as the next move by the Bank of Canada, and Carney’s team is saying that’s unlikely,� he said. “(The bank) is delaying a resumption of the kind of growth rates needed to get us back to full employment, but not giving up on the idea that that is coming in a year or so. This forecast could easily involve a rate hike early in 2013, but that’s going to depend very much, as the bank knows, on what policy-makers in the U.S. and Europe actually do.� The new projections put the central bank closer in line with the private sector economist consensus and virtually on the same page as the International Monetary Fund’s call on Monday for 2.1 per cent and 2.2 per cent growth in 2012 and 2013. “While global headwinds are restraining Canadian economic activity, domestic factors are expected to support moderate growth in Canada,� Carney and his policy panel said in statement.
DOLLAR CLOSES HIGHER (CP) The Canadian dollar closed higher Tuesday after the Bank of Canada left its key rate unchanged at one per cent and said it is still leaning towards raising interest rates eventually. The commodity-sensitive loonie also benefited from rising oil prices, closing up 0.21 of a cent to 98.76 cents US as the bank also maintained language in its accompanying statement that signalled an eventual tightening bias, indicating that rates would rise at some point. The bank observed that global growth prospects have weakened since the bank’s April Monetary Policy Report. Oil closed higher with the August crude contract ahead 79 cents to US$89.22 a barrel. Metal prices turned lower after Bernanke’s speech with copper down three cents at US$3.46 a pound while bullion dipped $2.10 to US$1,589.50 an ounce. “Consumption and business investment are expected to be the primary drivers of growth, reflecting very stimulative domestic financial conditions (interest rates).� However, they note that the global slowdown is restraining exports and pushing down commodity prices, sapping Canadian incomes and wealth. Meanwhile, record-high household debt is restraining spending, housing activity is expected to slow from record levels, and governments have taken themselves out of the stimulus game with austerity budgets. The interest rate announcement was pretty much anticipated by private sector economists. It now means the bank will have kept the benchmark setting at one per cent two full years, and if analysts are correct, it probably will do so for a third. “The maintenance of the tightening bias is likely a signal to one and all that the bank has absolutely no intention of following the easing lead of many other central banks, but at the same time they are highly unlikely to act on that bias anytime soon,� said Doug Porter of the Bank of Montreal. “After all, in the current global economic climate, restraint is the better part of valour.� Across the board, the bank says, conditions are worse than they were a few short months ago. The United States recovery continues but it is weaker. In China and other emerging economies, the deceleration of growth has been greater. Developments in Europe now point to a renewed contraction. “This slowdown in global activity has led to a sizable reduction in commodity prices,� which hits Canada’s resource sector, particularly oil exports, the bank said.

Canadian pianist to compete in int’l piano competition semifinals BY JESSICA VITULLO THE CANADIAN PRESS
Avan Yu has been playing piano since he was five years old. In fact, he had his first piano lesson on his fifth birthday. Twenty years later, Yu is one of 10 pianists advancing to the semifinals in the Honens International Piano Competition. Yu says it’s an honour to take part in the contest. “It’s something that I’m very excited about,” says Yu, 25, in an interview. “It’s a very prestigious competition.” Yu’s passion for playing the piano began long before he knew about the competition. “I always wanted to play the piano,” he says. “It was always something that I enjoyed.” Yu began studying privately with piano teachers and even though he didn’t attend a high school for musicians, he continued his studies outside of school. It wasn’t until he left his home in Vancouver five years ago that he started studying music in school. He’s spent the last five years majoring in music at the Berlin University of the Arts and is working towards his master’s degree in music. Yu was one of 125 musicians who applied for this year’s competition. The jury narrowed the group to 50 applicants for the quarterfinals. After auditioning in the quarterfinals with a 40-minute solo that was recorded
by the jury in Berlin, Yu was chosen once more to advance to the semifinals. As the competition draws nearer, Yu says there’s no way to tell what will happen. “Of course we all hope (to win) and having not heard anybody else, it was hard for me to tell (how I’d do),” he says. “I just tried my best and when the results come, the results come.” Despite the fact that Yu is competing against nine other people for the top prize, he doesn’t see the process as a competition. “They really treat it more like a piano festival than a competition,” he says. “We are there to perform. We’re not there as competitors.” Still, he’s practising for the semifinals on a daily basis. He’s currently working on his one-hour solo piece. The second component in the semifinals is an ensemble performance with a cellist, violinist and singer. The semifinals will be held in Calgary from October 17 to 26. If Yu advances to the finals, he will be one of five musicians performing a concerto with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and its musical director. The winner of the competition will receive a $100,000 cash prize and an artistic and career development program. While the cash is sure to entice, Yu says the winner also gets to perform in different cities around the world, which would make him most happy.

The cream rose to the top of the leader board as Champion Lakes Golf and Country Club held their annual Re/Max Open on Saturday. Sixty players teed it up at the links in Champion Lakes and when the last putt dropped, former three-time Zone 1 junior golf champion, Gary Janni out of Redstone, took the low gross honours by shooting a 3-under 69, while Steve Johnson finished two shots back, good enough for low net. The 18-hole tournament also featured a $10,000 hole-in-one on the second hole par 3, but no one claimed the elusive prize. The round was followed up by a dinner and door prizes as well as awards for the top shooters in the various flights. “We had a ton of prizes,” said Champion Lakes manager and head pro Kevin Nesbitt. “It was really well supported by the community for sure.” In the first flight Lindsay Walker shot low gross, while Ed Wilcox nabbed low net. Mike Nelson took home low gross honours in the second flight with Ron Weir claiming low net. The third flight trophy went to Darryle Kohlman with low gross and Ray Porcellato garnered low net. Ken Linstein won low gross in the fourth flight and Ken Warzocha miraculously shot low net.

Olympian Page bound for London BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor
An 18-year-old Victoria swimmer with Greater Trail ties surprised everyone when he earned a spot on the Canadian Olympic Swim Team after and incredible come-from-behind victory at the Olympic Trials in Montreal.
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Alec Page is all thumbs up after Olympic Trial victory in 400 IM. Alec Thomas Page qualified for the 400-metre individual medley, after overtaking Andrew Ford of Guelph, Ont., in the breaststroke portion of the final, winning in four minutes-17.78-seconds to lop
three seconds off his personal best. To qualify for London 2012, swimmers must finish first or second at the trials while posting a time that falls under the Olympic qualifying standard. In the IM, a race that requires all four strokes -butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle, in that order -- Page was the only athlete who made the cut. Page’s uncle, Scott Page, lives in Trail and explained his nephew’s meteoric rise. “He grew up on isolated Cortes Island between Campbell River and Powell River (where) he learned to swim in all the lakes . . . He and his brother Finn swam almost daily in the lake as kids, from May to September.” The Page’s later moved to Campbell River where Alec at age 14 and Finn swam with the Killer Whales Swim Club, even though their father, being from Trail, wanted the boys to play hockey, added Scott.
Alec was a natural, and made the provincial swim team in his first year of competition. He has since moved to Victoria where he trains with the Island Swim Club/Victoria Academy and the national team and recently set the new Canadian benchmark for the 400 IM by beating Olympic champion Alex Baumann’s 30-year-old record. Alec is named after his
great uncle Alec Page of Rossland and his great grandfather Thomas Page of Trail. His father Brian grew up in Trail along with brothers Scott and Barry who still live in the area. Alec’s Grandmother Irene Page is a long time Trail resident and one of Alec’s biggest supporters. The family came together recently to help raise funds so Alec’s parents can join him in London.
The Greater Trail Page’s all came together sporting Team Alec T-shirts to support Alec and help his parents finance the trip to London to watch their son compete at the Olympics. From left are uncles Scott and Barry, grandmother Irene, Barry’s wife Sherry and their children Dylan, and Ryan.

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England - Tiger Woods’ last trip to northwest England for the British Open ended in a two-shot win at Royal Liverpool. That was six years ago, and it seems even longer. It was his first major after the death of his father, and he sobbed on the shoulder of his caddie and his wife, both of whom are no longer with him. There was no discussion about No. 1 in the world because Woods’ point average was nearly double that of Phil Mickelson. Now it’s a matter of getting back. The good news for Woods is that the British Open is the first major since the 2011 Masters that he has a mathematical chance to return to No. 1 in the world. At this time a year ago, he was No. 19 and at home in Florida letting his leg injuries heal. Only it’s not that simple. Woods now has gone four years since winning his last major, and he conceded Tuesday that they are not getting any easier to win. Fifteen players have won the last 15 majors, the longest stretch without a multiple winner since 1993 to 1998. But when asked whether he was feeling any anxiety over when he will win another major, Woods simply shook his head. “I just try and put myself there,” Woods said. “I think that if I continue putting myself there enough times, then I’ll win major championships.” The trouble this year has been giving himself chances. If there are questions about the state of his game, look only at the trophies he won at Bay Hill, Muirfield Village and Congressional - more wins than anyone on the PGA Tour, tied with Branden Grace of South Africa for most worldwide. But the majors have been a disappointment. Woods had his worst finish as a pro at the Masters (tie for 40th), then vanished on the weekend of the U.S. Open when he was tied for the lead after two rounds at The Olympic Club.

LEISURE
Son, biological or not, needs a stable mother Dear Annie: I have been married to an amazing woman for two years. I work away from home, and she manages to take care of everything and work full time. She also is a caregiver for her mother, and for this reason, we have decided to put off having children. I have a 4-year-old son with my ex. I pay regular child support, but until recently, I haven’t been able to see much of him because of my schedule. Also, my ex is uncooperative. I recently found out some disturbing things about my son’s home environment, and my family has suggested I ask for full custody. The problem is that there always has been speculation about whether the boy is really my biological child. My wife says she prefers to know he’s mine before she undertakes such a huge responsibility. She will be raising the boy by herself while I am working

out of state for months at a time. But, Annie, I’m not sure I really want to know whether this is my child. I love him regardless, and if tests prove he isn’t my son, I will never see him again. Is it fair of me to ask my wife to raise the boy anyway? -- Still His Dad Dear Still: This is your son, legally if not biologically. While it is asking a lot of your wife to take on this responsibility, we hope she will do so not only for your sake, but for the boy’s. He needs a stable mother. Please look into getting some child care assistance for her so she isn’t over-
whelmed and resentful. But you should also get a paternity test. If this child is not yours, he should have his full medical history. Dear Annie: My husband’s 35-year-old daughter, “Effie,” has a college degree, but has never held a job. My husband sends Effie most of his Social Security check each month and also pays her credit card bills, which means he is now in debt to the tune of $10,000. When Effie visits, she makes a mess of the house and is disrespectful to me. She somehow manages to take several vacations a year. Now she wants my husband to foot the bill for an expensive wedding, and he’s agreed. He also agreed to continue supporting her after she marries. Because the wedding is in our state, Effie wants to stay in our house for several weeks before the wedding. I don’t think I can take it.
My husband is entirely in her corner and believes his relationship with her is perfectly normal. He’s been unwell, and I hate making things worse for him, but I can’t hold in this anger and disappointment much longer. I keep asking myself whether I’d be better off without him, but I don’t know the answer. -- Torn in Tallahassee Dear Torn: Many parents find it difficult to cut the financial apron strings, and divorced parents often are particularly indulgent in an attempt to compensate. This hurts the kids in the long run, creating dependence and prolonged adolescence. Nonetheless, if your husband refuses to change his tactics with Effie, there is nothing you can do about her. Counseling is often helpful, but you also might consider taking your own vacation while Effie is in your house.
Dear Annie: I was surprised that “Single” wrote in saying he has trouble meeting women who don’t have a lot of baggage. I am a single parent with two amazing children, and I have the same problem. Men on
Internet dating sites all seem to be infatuated with the physical side of the relationship, which is secondary to me. I want a decent guy who is willing to be my friend first. In five years, my children will be out
of the house, and I would love to have an established relationship going into the empty nest syndrome. -- Patient in Arizona Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

LEISURE
YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Thursday, July 19, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today’s New Moon is an excellent opportunity to think about how you can improve your relationships with family members. You also might think about how to improve where you live. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is the best day of the year to think about your style of communicating. Are you clear and gentle in your communication? Do you really listen? How can you improve? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Each New Moon is an opportunity to make resolutions. Today’s New Moon urges you to look at your money and possessions. Do you take care of what you own? Do you respect money? CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The only New Moon in your sign all year is here today.
Take a look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve your image. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It’s easy to get caught up in external, busy affairs, money, events and so-called success. But what about your spiritual world? This counts, too. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This might be the best day of the year to think about how to make your hopes and dreams become a reality. What are your hopes and dreams for the future? LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today’s New Moon is a good day to think about your life direction in general. Are you headed where you really want to go? SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) What further education or training can you get to improve your job or enrich your life? It’s never too late
to learn. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might have to compromise with the values of others simply because your values do not agree with theirs. This is a big step, but it’s probably necessary. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The only New Moon that is opposite your sign all year is here today. This is your chance to resolve to improve
your relationships in some way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) What can you do to improve your job, how you do your job or your attitude toward your job? After all, you do want to be happy in your work, right? PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It’s important to remember to play as well as to work. (We lived in a work-driven
society.) Do you give yourself enough time for play and creative leisure? YOU BORN TODAY When younger, you’re prone to mood swings; however, by cultivating self-awareness, you eventually develop a sophisticated grace to your movements and speech. Because you’re always trying to improve yourself, you look to heroes around you and admire certain people. Work hard to build or construct
