Provincial grant aiming to benefit small airports

WARFIELD COMMUNITY DAY

BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

The Ministry of Transportation has lift off with its new B.C. Air Access program – a grant program designed to benefit the province's many small air traffic hubs, including the Trail Regional Airport. After public consultations, including a meeting with local stakeholders in Trail in November, the provincial government has laid out plans to invest $24 million over the next three years, or $6 million a year, into regional airports across B.C. Don Goulard, manager of the Trail airport was at that meeting last fall, and says if the airport were to get a small piece of the $6 million being handed out in 2015, it would be great and he’s keeping his fingers crossed. “It is a great opportunity and I am certainly optimistic and I think it is fantastic they are investing in airports,” he said. “However, one of the things to consider, is that $6 million doesn't go very far. If every airport and helipad in B.C. applied, it would mean each would get $20,000. Hopefully nobody else applies, but I don't think that is going to happen.” Goulard was one of many attendees at the public consultation meeting, and from what he saw, airports are increasingly important to residents in the Kootenay Boundary and just months later, the province unveiled its plan. B.C. on the Move and the B.C. Air Access program also published a report on its findings, showing that air transportation is a top priority for 71 per cent of people surveyed in the Kootenays. “These numbers are supported by other communities like Cranbrook, Nelson and Grand Forks – all around,” he said. “We are kind of out in the middle of nowhere so if you can take off by plane really quickly, it is easy.” Goulard says local airports are the logical place to spend transportation money. With only a mile of runway, airports get more bang for the government's buck versus building and maintaining winding roadways through the province. “While at this meeting, we talked about how expensive it was to build a road - $2 million for a mile or something like that,” he said. “I piped up and asked if they saw anything wrong with this. Airports require one mile of road and they can connect you anywhere. Where should you invest your money if a mile of road just gets you a mile farther up the road, but a mile of runway connects you to the world.” With or without some extra grant money, airport staff is still on a forward trajectory with airport improvements.

Students get nostalgic with ‘Grease’ production

Leather jackets and poodle skirts return as J.L. Crowe drama students perform at Charles Bailey Theatre this weekend BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

“Grease” is the word this week at the Charles Bailey Theatre when the T-Birds and the Pink Ladies take the stage. An enthusiastic group of drama students from J.L. Crowe Secondary School

have been working for weeks, learning their lines, dance steps and musical cues to perform the classic 1950s musical. Now, it is theatre goers' turn to learn the hand jive. The young thespians are putting on two shows this coming weekend, one on Friday and another on Saturday, telling the songand-dance filled high school love story of Danny and Sandy. “Grease” has been retold time and time again, whether it is Frenchie being warned to stay in school,

or Kenickie racing down Thunder Road for pink slips. Crowe drama teacher and production director, Tanya LaFond, says that is exactly why the class is putting on the show this year. “The play has always been a favourite of mine since I saw it at the age of five,” she said. “It is musical that is fun, has great music and spans generations.” Kyle Higgins is playing the role of Danny Zuko, the high school bad boy who tries to hide his softer side

while winning over Sandy, a summer fling who reappeared on the first day of school. Higgins says he can't wait for audiences to see the final product after he and his fellow actors have worked for weeks to perfect it. “We practise twice a week after school and on Saturdays,” he said. “As well, we practise on our lunch hours and on our own. It is a big commitment, but it has been fun to see the show become a polished performance.” See TAILGATE, Page 3

Blueberry school building sale moves forward By Betsy Kline Castlegar News

School District 20 is moving ahead with the next step required to sell the Blueberry Creek Community School building. In a move long anticipated by the community, the board passed first and second readings of a bylaw calling for the disposition of the property at Monday’s board meeting. Details cannot be released until after the third reading has passed. The next vote will be at the June 22 board meeting. “We have negotiated with the Blueberry Creek Community School Society and we have come to terms,” explained Darrell Ganzert, board chair. “But our board and their board have to both approve those terms.

Send a kid to camp

This is the legal process that we have to go through.” The society declined to comment until after the bylaw’s third reading. According to the society’s website, the building sits on a former peach orchard donated by a Mr. Gopp to be used in perpetuity by the community. It opened with two classrooms in 1962 and expanded in 1974-75 with the addition of a library and activity room. The school closed in 1986 due to declining enrollment, but reopened in 1991 due to pressure from local parents. It gained community school status in 1997 but closed again in 2002. The building continued to be used by the community, however, and for school board meetings. A daycare centre opened in 2008.

Final designs for new terminal due this month

FROM PAGE 1 This month, Goulard says that architects and designers will be making their final pitch for a new terminal building, before sending the plan to Trail council for a stamp of approval. “The offices of McFarlane Biggar and the MMM Group (architects and project managers) are planning on doing their final presentation before mid-month, so we will see how that goes,” he said, adding that the presentation stage doesn’t mean that ground will be breaking anytime soon. “This will be a suggested plan, which we then take to council and

they will decide on how to move forward (as the owners of the airport).” In the meantime, airport staff is also busy making smaller, more immediate upgrades. “There is always housekeeping to do around here, but we are going to be getting new fuel tanks, which is fantastic and was identified (as an issue),” added Goulard. “We are also going to be getting a new environmental management plan together, which is going to be really awesome moving forward, making sure that we do the right thing here for the environment.”

FROM PAGE 1 After bringing the students together and directing the show, Lafond also can’t wait to see the audience in their seats on opening night. “People should come and see the show because the cast, who will bring these classic characters to life, are an amazing, dynamic group of individuals,” she said. “They have all become very close throughout the run, and their group dynamic translates to the stage. “They have a great deal of fun together, and I know the audience will have fun with them.” Before the curtain goes up at 7

p.m. on Friday, the school is getting everyone in the 1950s greaser spirit with a tailgate party from 6 to 6:45 p.m. at the theatre. The event is going to have Vince Fontaine, in character, hosting the ‘red carpet’ while attendees sip on traditional malt shop fare, like root beer floats and burgers. There will be vintage cars, ‘50s music and even a pie throwing contest where students will get to throw a pie at their teachers. Tickets to see the Crowe students perform “Grease” are on sale at the Charles Bailey Box Office at $17 for adults and $14 for students. Both the Friday and Saturday performances start at 7 p.m. sharp.

Jojo at Tim Horton's in Waneta gets the word out about Camp Day on Wednesday while serving drive-thru customers and wearing her Camp Day t-shirt. The Canadian coffee giant dedicates one day a year to the cause, and donates 100 per cent of its coffee proceeds to the Tim Horton Children's Foundation to send underprivileged kids to summer camp, giving them the chance to have a fun few weeks in the sun making crafts, learning to canoe and more. Two young people from Trail are selected to go the camp each year.

Tailgate party prior to first show Need for speed concerns police By Tamara Hynd Nelson Star

Drivers must slow down. That’s the message from the West Kootenay Traffic Services and Nelson Integrated Road Safety Unit who say they have seen a “ very scary trend” since the May long weekend- excessive speeding, mixed at times with alcohol. The highest speed encountered was 170 kilometres per hour in a 100 km speed zone. As such, Sgt. John Ferguson wrote in a press release that the RCMP are out in full enforcement. “There will be no leniency to vehicles travelling well over the

speed limit or people putting alcohol into their bodies and driving,” he wrote. “Our aim is to have a safe summer and have the safest roads.” The good weather has arrived early and the roads are becoming congested. On the May long weekend, six drivers’ vehicles were seized for traveling 40 km/hr over the posted speed limit and the RCMP also took two alcohol impaired drivers off the road. Last weekend, that trend continued. Authorities took seven vehicles off the road for traveling more than 40 km/hr over the speed limit. Of those seven

drivers, two of them were impaired and a third received an immediate three-day roadside driving suspension. Another three separate impaired drivers were also apprehended. This does not include the seat belt and distracted drivers charged. Ferguson wrote that speeding will only get people to a destination, “ five minutes before the person travelling at the speed limit, that is if you get there at all.” “We urge people to slow down and not drink alcohol and drive. Besides the monetary fines it will save your life or others.”

Milestone donation for Urology campaign

Bruce Jenner

Magazine cover completes transition THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Bruce Jenner’s transition is complete. “Call me Caitlyn,” declares a headline on the July cover of Vanity Fair, with a photo of a long-haired Jenner in a strapless corset, legs crossed, sitting on a stool. The image was shot by famed celeb photographer Annie Leibovitz. Inside, more images depict Caitlyn in gold lame, a black bustier and a cleavagebaring, off-the-shoulder gown. Caitlyn Jenner also debuted a new Twitter account with: “I’m so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self. Welcome to the world Caitlyn. Can’t wait for you to get to know her/me.” In about three hours, the account had more than 860,000 followers.

According to the magazine, which took to Twitter with the cover Monday, Jenner spoke emotionally about her gender journey: “If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, ‘You just blew your entire life.”’ The cover photo was shot at Jenner’s Malibu, California, home and comes on the heels of her twohour ABC interview with Diane Sawyer in which Bruce Jenner confirmed the transition. The much-anticipated “20/20” interview on April 24 was watched by more than 17.1 million viewers. Prior to the unveiling of Caitlyn, Jenner had said he preferred the pronoun “he,” but Vanity Fair contributing editor Buzz

Lawrence Stephen Dorey September 27, 1930 – May 18, 2015 Larry was born in Rossland BC to Albertine and Wilfred Dorey. After completing school in Rossland and Trail, he attended the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. He chose Red Deer as his home, and worked for Alpha Milk for many years until his retirement in 1993. Larry is predeceased by his parents, his brother William Dorey, and his brother-in-law Bruce MacAuley. He is survived by his sister Kathleen Clark, his sister-in-law Pat Dorey, and many loving nieces, nephews and cousins. Larry’s family would like to thank the staff and neighbours at Victoria Park for their kindness and friendship. We thank the doctors and nurses at Red Deer Regional Hospital and the emergency paramedics for their expert care. We want to thank Alex and Nancy Grefner for their many years of friendship and caring. Larry’s family is especially grateful to the entire staff of the Red Deer Hospice for their gentle, respectful and cheerful care of Larry during his last days. Larry was known to his family, friends and colleagues as a quiet, polished gentleman. There will be no service as were his wishes. Cremation has taken place and his ashes will be interred in the family plot at Mountain View Cemetery, Rossland, B.C. Memorial donations may be made to The Red Deer Hospice Society located at 99 Arnot Avenue, Red Deer, AB. T4R 3S6 / or contacting Marian at 403-309-4344, ext. 108.

Bissinger, who wrote the story, refers to “she.” The Olympian who married and divorced reality show “momager” Kris Jenner has appeared for years on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” Jenner’s own stilluntitled docu-series chronicling her transition is scheduled for the same network, E!, beginning July 26. In addition to the va-va voom corset cover, Vanity Fair released a black-andwhite video on the making of the cover “Caitlyn doesn’t have any secrets,” Jenner narrates. “As soon as the Vanity Fair cover comes out, I’m free.” Bissinger, the “Friday Night Lights” Pulitzer Prize winner, said in the lengthy magazine story that he had unfettered access to Jenner, both before her transition and after.

Julie Harris

Academy Award-winning designer dressed 007 Bond and the Beatles THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON - Julie Harris, an Academy Award-winning costume designer who outfitted James Bond and The Beatles, has died at 94. Harris died Saturday at a London hospital after suffering from a chest infection. Harris played a major role in capturing the look of 1960s “Swinging London” on film. She dressed The Beatles for both “A Hard Day’s Night” and “Help!” - saying later, “I must be one of the few people who can claim they have seen John,

Paul, George and Ringo naked.” She won an Oscar for “Darling,” a style-setting film about London models and media types starring Dirk Bogarde and Julie Christie, and a British film award, the BAFTA, for the 1966 Michael Caine comedy “The Wrong Box.” Harris worked on the James Bond spoof “Casino Royale” in 1967, and created costumes for Roger Moore’s first outing as 007, “Live and Let Die,” in 1973. She designed for a vampiric Frank Langella in a 1979 version of “Dracula.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI - Tennis great Doris Hart, who won each Grand Slam tournament at least once, and once won three Wimbledon titles in a single day, has died. She was 89. Hart died Friday at home in Coral Gables, Florida, the International Tennis Hall of Fame confirmed to The Associated Press, citing close personal friends of Hart’s. Hart was known for her smarts,

crisp groundstrokes and drop shot mastery. She won titles in 1954-55 at the U.S. Championships, which later became the U.S. Open. She won the French Open twice and Wimbledon and the Australian Open once each. She was ranked No. 1 in the world in 1951. Hart had her finest tournament at Wimbledon that year, winning the singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles titles.

Female Mounties alleging discrimination seek class-action suit against RCMP

Chilliwack gets nod for top tap water The Chilliwack Progress The City of Chilliwack earned bragging rights to the “best tasting tap water in B.C. on Thursday. Chilliwack’s drinking water was up against tap water from 15 other communities from across B.C. in the second annual “Best of the Best” Tap Water Taste Test, hosted at BC Water and Waste Associations’ Conference, held this week in Kelowna. A panel of selected “aqualiers” sampled and evaluated water based on appearance, aroma, taste, mouth feel, aftertaste, and overall impression. The taste test was held at the BCWWA’s annual conference, the largest peer-to-peer style conference for the water industry in Western Canada. The conference examines how communities can conserve and protect water resources, and build respect for water. The victory comes more than a year after the City of Chilliwack was ordered by the Fraser Health Authority to begin adding chlorine to its drinking water – an order that drew harsh criticism from both the public and local politicians.

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - At age 22, Quebec native Joanne Mayer was greeted at her first RCMP posting in Gibsons, B.C., with a handshake and a blunt statement from the sergeant: “We don’t think women should be in the force, and especially not French-speaking ones.” Mayer said that along with her regular duties, she spent over two years doing “sexist” chores including making coffee, ensuring there was an ample supply of cream and sugar, and cleaning police cruisers. A quarter-century later, Mayer has joined hundreds of other former and current RCMP members hoping for justice over alleged gender discrimination, bullying and harassment with a potential class-action lawsuit. A five-day hearing to determine certification of a class-action proceeding involving 362 women is set to begin Monday in B.C. Supreme Court. “I didn’t tell my parents or anybody what had happened to me. I went through this all on my own,” said Mayer, who plans to fly to Vancouver from Ottawa along with several other women expected to attend from across Canada. Mayer was emboldened to come forward after Janet Merlo, a 19-year RCMP veteran from Nanaimo, B.C., went pub-

lic with her own experience of ongoing discrimination before launching the suit in March 2012. “I was like, ‘Well, I went through that, too. Maybe it wasn’t my fault,”’ Mayer said. “I had blocked it out, to be honest. I didn’t realize what was happening to me at the time and I was too scared to speak out.” In the three years it has taken to wind through the legal system, a law firm championing the case has canvassed more than 100 women with a detailed questionnaire, said lawyer David Klein. “They share an unfortunate common bond,” he said. “They were subjected to systemic harassment, bullying and discrimination over a long period of time. The bond they share is the consequence of that treatment.” Klein said he will introduce the case and present key evidence from Merlo’s affidavit and an expert he calls the leading authority on gender harassment and discrimination. He will also explain why it’s crucial to tackle the allegations en mass with a class action rather than require individual women to file hundreds of lawsuits on their own. “The only way many of these women will have access to the civil justice system is if it is done through a class

action.” None of the claims have been tested in court. Klein said that while he believes the RCMP has begun taking steps to reduce harassment against women, people who have made allegations are still being challenged on every statement they make. “It’s time for the government of Canada to step in and direct the RCMP to take these claims seriously.” Jeremy Laurin, a spokesman for the federal Public Safety Department, said he couldn’t comment while the case is before the courts but that the government takes issues of discrimination and sexual harassment “very seriously. “All RCMP members and employees should feel safe and respected amongst their colleagues and superiors,” he said in a statement. “Canadians have the right to expect professional and exemplary conduct from their national police service.” For Mayer, settlement is the only way to bring closure because she felt forced to switch careers. “My hope is that the force will recognize that it has affected a lot of female members,” she said. “I wouldn’t want this to happen to new members going in, new females.”

Duffy trial poised to stretch into August, as election campaign opens

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Could the prime minister’s former chief staff and several senior Tory senators wind up testifying at Sen. Mike Duffy’s trial just as the federal election campaign gets underway? This scenario is becoming increasingly likely, as the pieces move into place for extra trial dates to be set aside in August to hear Duffy’s case. Whether or not the election writ is officially issued, the parties will be in full campaign mode by that point - the Conservatives have already agreed to a leaders’ debate in August. Last week, a lawyer for former senator Mac Harb agreed to postpone his trial scheduled to begin on Aug. 10, as Duffy’s trial requires more time. “Also we have some interest in some of the issues in the Duffy trial, so we’ll see how some of those issues unfold,” said Harb defence lawyer Sean May. That means the Harb fraud and breach of trust trial will likely unfold in the spring of 2016, with more key witnesses appearing at Duffy’s trial in the last

three weeks of August. Both Harb and Duffy have been charged with filing improper living expenses connected with their designation of an Ottawa-area home as a secondary residence. Duffy has pleaded not guilty to 31 charges in total, including others that relate to his travel and Senate office expense claims. After a threeweek hiatus, the trial resumed Monday with a minor victory for the Duffy team. Justice Charles Vaillancourt ruled that a Senate committee report could be entered into evidence. The 2010 report of the internal economy committee was based largely on three audits of the Senate’s administrative practices, undertaken by the firm Ernst and Young. It found that there

was a lack of clear guidelines and criteria establishing what constitutes official business, as well as what is considered partisan activity, when senators file expenses. Those conclusions are important for Duffy’s defence, which is largely focused on the argument that he was operating within the Senate’s confusing and lax rules. “Oversight is relevant in this trial and counsel for the applicant advances the proposition that the lack of appropriate oversight is a key component to the defence of many of the charges before the court,” Vaillancourt wrote. “I recognize this as a valid position.” The Crown argued that the report should be considered hearsay, since it was based on the work of an

audit firm and not the committee. But Vaillancourt agreed with the defence that the audits were absorbed into the committee’s own work. This ruling could have implications later on in the trial. The auditor general is set to submit to the Senate a report on the

spending of all senators some time this week. From that point, the report, its release to the public and the official response all moves out of the auditor’s hands. Bayne can be expected to argue that it, too, is a Senate document and should be entered into evi-

Has B.C. become a Third World backwater?

e might call ourselves Super, Natural or even The Best Place on Earth, but how is B.C. viewed around the world? Ever since U.S. billionaires and their environmental clients decided more than a decade ago to supervise our society, the impression that British Columbia is a primitive colonial backwater in need of “saving” has only been reinforced. In late April, the province and coastal aboriginal leaders announced completion of marine planning areas for Haida Gwaii and the North and Central Coast. U.S. activists knew about the announcement weeks before the legislature press gallery did, and a documentary crew was sent up to advance the narrative of the saving of the “Great Bear Rainforest.” Within minutes of the announcement, the World Wildlife Fund website trumpeted the creation

of the “Great Bear Sea,” continuing the penchant of outsiders for renaming large parts of B.C. to fit their marketing strategies. Unlike the “Great Bear Rainforest” land use deal of 2007, the Sierra Club, ForestEthics and Greenpeace were not represented. Instead, Tides Canada CEO Ross McMillan sat beaming in the audience. McMillan’s role in directing U.S. foundation money to B.C. has prompted him to declare himself “a principal architect of the Great Bear Rainforest project,” although in the early years he and his staff (currently 24 people) stayed behind the scenes while Sierra, Greenpeace et al took the credit. At the event, two aboriginal leaders gave a nod to the real funder of the ongoing effort to “save” the B.C. coast, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Gordon Moore is a co-founder of Intel Corp., maker of most of

the world’s computer processor chips, now spending his vast fortune on the Amazon basin, B.C. and other “threatened” places. Other Silicon Valley and Seattle billionaires helped finance the original effort, and a strategy document surfaced in 2008 describing their plan to de-market the Alberta oilsands by creating a blockade against energy exports on our Pacific coast. That campaign has featured a fake cancer study and grossly exaggerated greenhouse gas claims compared to U.S. coal and oil production.

The effort has since expanded to natural gas, with false horror stories about “fracking” finding a receptive global audience. Last week I wrote about the plan by British manufacturing conglomerate Reckitt Benckiser to buy up farms in the B.C. Interior and replant them with trees. Contrary to my description, “RB Trees for Change” isn’t participating in the dodgy European carbon credit market. They’re just doing it for global marketing purposes, covering pioneer-cleared farms of our colonial backwater with forest for 100 years so they can advertise their soaps and cold pills as carbon neutral. Another 10,000 hectares of B.C. “saved” from destruction by benevolent foreign interests! Back to reality. B.C.’s Auditor General issued a report last week calling on the province to do more to prevent the “cumulative effects” of industrial

development. A familiar example of this is the struggle to maintain caribou herds in northern B.C. The B.C. government mustered a response from the multiple ministries that have worked on this since 2010. Among other things, they noted that 90 per cent of B.C.’s vast area is now covered by regional land use plans created to manage cumulative impacts. A whopping 37 per cent of B.C. is designated as parks and protected areas for environmental and cultural values. Maybe that’s still not good enough, but it’s better than anything I can find in Europe or the U.S. That’s particularly true of California, home of Hollywood, Silicon Valley, a pipeline spill, heavy oil refining and gridlocked freeways.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson out-muscled the competition at domestic movie theatres as the earthquake epic “San Andreas” hauled in an estimated $53.2 million over the weekend. It was Johnson’s biggest debut for a non-sequel as the top-billed actor, according to box office tracker Rentrak. The action star helped the movie over-perform on the West Coast despite fears that audiences in earthquake-prone regions would stay away, said Dan Fellman, president of domestic distribution for Warner Bros., which distributed the film made by its New Line unit. “Some people felt they’d be a little nervous watching such a disaster hit both Los Angeles and San Francisco, but there was a curiosity factor,” Fellman said. “They went, they packed the theatres and they liked it.” Universal’s “Pitch Perfect 2” came in second with $14.8 million, Disney’s “Tomorrowland” was third with $13.8 million, Warner Bros.’ “Mad Max: Fury Road” came in fourth with $13.6 million and Disney’s Marvel superhero saga “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” which grossed $10.9 million, finished fifth. “Aloha,” the critically maligned romantic comedy from director Cameron Crowe, opened in sixth place with $10 million. The movie was dogged by controversy. Leaked emails from former Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chair Amy Pascal last year labeled the “Aloha” script “ridiculous.” Then, some Native Hawaiian groups opposed the title as misappropriating the concept of the word. An Asian American group criticized the use of a nearly all-white cast in a film shot in Hawaii, a heavily Asian island chain.

An editorial from the Toronto Star Pre-election editorials typically urge people to cast a ballot with the argument that every vote counts. But seldom has that truism been more clearly illustrated than in Prince Edward Island recently, where Liberal Alan McIsaac won a legislature seat through the toss of a coin. A judicial recount after a May 4 election found that he and his Progressive Conservative rival, Mary Ellen McInnis, each garnered precisely 1,173 votes. Had just one more supporter for either of these candidates gone out and cast a ballot, victory

would have been assured. Instead, in accordance with the province’s election law, the tie was broken by flipping a coin. And, luckily for incumbent McIsaac, it turned up “tails.” That’s democracy in action, in a way, but not the way we like seeing it. The candidates couldn’t even choose between heads and tails. The law specifically assigns “heads” to the person whose name is spelled closest to the beginning of the alphabet and “tails” to the name closest to the end. McIsaac — quite literally — won by virtue of the fourth letter of his name, since “s” comes

after “n.” That’s simultaneously absurd and an excellent example of the difference even one vote can make. The case is well worth bearing in mind with a federal election looming this fall. So much can depend on just one more person getting off the couch and going to a polling station.

150 km from the Philippines or Vietnam. Since the islands might all generate Exclusive Economic Zones of 300 km, China may be planning to claim rights over the entire sea up to an average of about 100 km off the coasts of the other countries that surround the sea. It hasn’t actually stated the details of that claim yet, but it is investing a lot in laying the foundations for such a claim. It’s as if the the United States built some reefs in the middle of the Caribbean Sea, claimed them as sovereign territory, and then said that the whole sea belonged to the U.S. except for narrow coastal strips for Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, etc. China is actually building islands as part of this strategy: taking low-lying reefs and building them up with enormous quantities of sand, rock and cement to turn them into (marginally) habitable places. Then it acts astonished and offended when other countries challenge this behaviour, or even send reconnaissance flights to see what the Chinese are up to. The veiled threats and the bluster that accompany this are intended to warn all the other claimants off. It’s been going on for years, but it’s getting much more intense as the Chinese project for building military bases all over the South China Sea (it denies that that’s what they are, of course) nears completion. So now the rhetoric steps up to actual warning of a Chinese-US war. The Global Times is right, whether its writers know it or not. If China keeps acting as if its claims were universally accepted and unilaterally expanding the reefs to create large bases with airstrips and ports, and the U.S. and local powers go on challenging China’s claims, then there really could be a war. Later, not now, and not necessarily ever, but it could happen. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Candidates dust it up over MacKay visit By Carolyn Grant Kimberley Bulletin

Kootenay Columbia MP David Wilks was pleased to host Justice Minister Peter MacKay on a visit to the riding two weeks ago, but his riding opponents in the upcoming federal election have a question — why didn’t anyone know about it in advance? According to a press release from Wilks’ office, the events included meetings and discussions on some important Justice-led initiatives that both Minister MacKay and MP Wilks have worked hard on and supported in the House of Commons and through MP Wilks’ work on the Justice Committee. “One such example, is the Anti-terrorism Act, 2015, which will provide law enforcement with the tools they need to keep Canadians safe from the threats of terrorists, while ensuring that fundamental

“It is, unfortunately totally consistent with the Conservative obsession to control the message and stage events where they don’t need to worry about bothersome citizens or media who might ask unscripted questions.” Don Johnson

rights are protected, through judicial oversight. “I was pleased to host Minister MacKay in Cranbrook this past Saturday (May 23), to meet with constituents on matters of importance to our community,” Wilks said. “The safety and protection of my constituents has always been a driving force for my involvement in the community. “I am particularly proud of our Government’s tough on crime policies and our economic initiatives that will provide growth opportunities

for all residents of Kootenay-Columbia. I am grateful that Minister MacKay took time out of his busy schedule to meet with community leaders - to hear their thoughts and provide valuable input on our Conservative Government’s policies. Only this Government stands up for the values of KootenayColumbia”, said Wilks. NDP candidate Wayne Stetski questions the meetings with constituents. The people of the Kootenays in fact missed their opportunity to speak with Justice Minister Peter

MacKay at a meeting held in Cranbrook this weekend, says Stetski. “I was very surprised to discover that Minister MacKay came to Cranbrook supposedly to discuss Bill C51 with constituents, but it appears virtually no one in Cranbrook knew he was coming,” said Stetski. “If Mr. Wilks is so sure that Bill C51 is the right thing to do, and if he thinks that it was defensible for him to vote in favour of the bill even when so many people in this area do not support it, having the Justice Minister in town would have been a great opportunity for Mr. Wilks to hold a public meeting and address his constituents’ concerns. “But that’s not what Mr. Wilks did. Instead he held a meeting with only a handpicked group of individuals, to give Minister MacKay a photo-op and something to tweet about. “I don’t think that the citizens of this region believe that this kind of politicking is acceptable. Mr. Wilks has utterly failed to represent the people of the Kootenays in this matter.” Green Party candidate Bill Green says he had to rely on Google to get any information on MacKay’s visit. “It is very dis-

appointing that no opportunities were arranged for Minister Mackay to speak to the general public about the wide range of justice issues that are of concern to people in this riding,”Green said. “From my doorto-door campaigning, I have learned that many people are concerned about the erosion of our democratic rights that will result from Bill C-51. I’m convinced that people in this riding are going to vote for a candidate and a party that will be transparent and open to dialogue and different perspectives.” And Liberal candidate Don Johnston can’t believe Minister MacKay didn’t make himself available. “I am amazed and disappointed that a Minister of the Crown would visit the riding, at some considerable cost, and not make themselves available to the public and the media. It is, unfortunately totally consistent with the Conservative obsession to control the message and stage events where they don’t need to worry about bothersome citizens or media who might ask unscripted messages. It’s another example of how disconnected this government is from the people it governs.”

City reviving backyard chicken bylaw By Alex Cooper

Revelstoke Times Review

The backyard chicken bylaw is back on the City of Revelstoke agenda following a request put forward by the recently-revived environment committee. The committee asked council to resurrect the bylaw. Mayor Mark McKee responded by saying the bylaw would be brought to the next administration committee meeting before being presented to council. He said staff was researching other communities to see what worked and what didn’t. The backyard chicken bylaw has been nesting for almost two years now. In August 2013, the city stopped working on an overarching animal bylaw in favour of one that just regulated chickens. The lack of a bylaw hasn’t stopped anyone from actually purchasing and raising chickens The Food Security Strategy that was released in February calls for the city to amend its animal control bylaw to allow for chickens, bees and other small livestock in single-family residential zones.

Creston

Businesses to get tax break for renovations or new construction By Lorne Eckersley Creston Advance

Business owners who want to do new construction or renovations to their premises are about to get encouragement from the Town of Creston. Town council directed staff to prepare a new bylaw that will give owners a tax break for new construction and improvements at Tuesday’s regular council meeting. A revitalization tax exemption program is intended to “encourage new commercial businesses in new and renovated building in the town’s zones that permit commercial uses and thereby establish the commercial services and the investment and employment opportunities that will attract additional economic growth to the Town of Creston; and reinforce the municipality’s ‘open for business’ approach and attract redevelopment of commercial businesses within the municipality,’ ” according to a draft bylaw. Council indicated support of a program that will qualify businesses that do $50,000 in renovations or new construction of $150,000 or more. A five-year full exemp-

tion from municipal taxes on the value of the improvement would result, with an additional five years of a 50 per cent reduction in municipal taxes on the improvement value. Value of improvements will be determined by the change in property assessment value by BC Assessment. “This program, which would run for a three-year period, has a similar intent to a previous revitalization tax exemption bylaw for hotels and motels, which contributed to the construction of one new hotel and upgrades to two others,” Mayor Ron Toyota said yesterday. “The intent of a new program is much broader. It will apply to permitted businesses in commercially zoned areas throughout the town of Creston.” With a number of new businesses and upgrades being explored already, Toyota said that council wants to encourage improvements that can lead to employment opportunities. He said that town staff are also in the process of preparing a façade improvement program to encourage the beautification of commercial business fronts.

‘A’ Orioles open Legion season with split Rockets lose in OT MEMORIAL CUP

BY JIM BAILEY

BY WARREN HENDERSON

Times Sports Editor

The Trail Single-A Orioles kicked off their Washington State American Legion Baseball League season at Butler Park on the weekend with a pair of doubleheaders. The ‘A’ Orioles dropped its first games on Saturday to Mead 12-6 and 14-4 before rebounding with a pair of decisive victories over Central Valley 9-1 and 17-6. Despite the mixed results, it was a promising start for a relatively young and new squad that is playing against teams that have played more than 20 games already. “We’re a young team, we have a lot of 13-year-olds, a smattering of 15 year olds,” said Orioles’ coach Rick Schleppe. “All the kids can play the game physically, they have the physical aspects down pat – what we’re working on as a coaching staff right now is working on the mental game for the kids. They know how to run, throw, catch, but what do they do once they get the ball now? is what were working on.” Schleppe, a former Little League and high school baseball coach, will replace ‘A’ Orioles’ coach Darren Miracle, with Mark Profili and Kevin Ihas joining forces with Schleppe as assistant coaches. The initial challenge is to get many of the younger players just coming out of Little League comfortable with the move from Andy Bilesky Park to the bigger dimensions of Butler. “It’s a whole new game for them,” said Schleppe. “It’s 60-90 baseball, a whole new game and we’re starting from scratch.” While the O’s struggled against Mead in the two losses Saturday, it was a much improved effort on Sunday. “Yesterday we were in the games, but unfortunately Saturday’s games we had a few mental breakdowns, but it’s going to come. We are going to take our bruises but like I say we want them to settle down, learn the game, and get themselves composed.” In Sunday’s opener versus the Central Valley Bears, three runs by the Orioles in the bottom of the fourth inning broke a 1-1 tie, and a five-run sixth would give the O’s a 9-1 victory. Kian Johnston went the distance on the mound for the Orioles, giving up one run on six hits, while striking out 10. Nate Ingram went 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, and Pete Pasqualotto was 2-for-3. In the ‘A’ Orioles final match against Central, an eight run O’s outburst in the third inning broke open a 3-1 game. Nate Ingram led off with a single and Justin Coombes followed

Kelowna Capital News

On Sunday night in Quebec City, the Kelowna Rockets came agonizingly close to realizing their ultimate goal. Instead, the Western Hockey League champs will have to settle for being second best in Canadian major junior hockey. In a one-game game showdown at Colisée Pepsi, the Oshawa Generals defeated the Rockets 2-1 in overtime to win the 97th Memorial Cup championship. Anthony Cirelli’s second goal of the night at 1:28 of the extra period was the difference, denying Kelowna its second CHL title in franchise history. While the Rockets didn’t get what they came for, an emotional Madison Bowey was proud of his team’s effort, both at the tournament and all season long. “It was a helluva year for us,” said the Rockets captain. “I’m proud of the guys, we battled hard right to the end. It’s just tough to go out like that.” The Rockets, who fell to the defensive-minded Generals 2-1 in the final game of the round robin on Tuesday, had the edge in play for much of Sunday’s final and more than a handful of quality chances, but could only get one of 38 shots behind Oshawa goaltender Ken Appleby. The Rockets’ lone goal came at 15:18 of the first when Tomas Soustal took a puck off the back boards and slipped the puck behind for a 1-0 Kelowna lead. See OILERS, Page 12

‘AA’ Orioles drop rubber match JIM BAILEY PHOTO

Trail ‘A’ Orioles pitcher Pete Pasqualotto delivers in the second half of a doubleheader against Central Valley, which Trail would take 17-6 in five innings. The Single-A Orioles started their Washington State American Legion baseball season with a two doubleheaders at Butler Park on the weekend. up with a hit up the middle before Pasqualatto stepped up and scored them both with a double to the gap in left-centre. Consecutive singles by Ryan Stainer, Marty Ingram, Ali Schroder, and Max Profili would make it 11-1 heading into the fourth, and five more runs in the top of the fifth would bring the 10-run rule into effect. Pasqualatto struck out five and held the Bears to just two runs on four hits until the fifth when Central cashed in four on a two-out rally. Ali Schroder went 3-for-3 at the plate with two singles, a double, and a stolen base, while Nate Ingram went 2-for-2 with two walks and a pair of stolen bases. The .500 start puts the Orioles in second place in the Area 3 American League U-16 division with 10 other

teams from Northeastern Washington and Idaho competing. “Our biggest goal this year is try to teach them the game, and that’s what we’re trying to do right now and get them developed so they can move up to the next level,” added Schleppe. “We do have the tools to compete, but right now were just working on development.” The O’s will play in a tougher division than last year, going up against such powerhouse teams as the Couer d’Alene Lumberjacks, Mead, University, North Central, and LewisClark. “Right now we’re sitting 2-2. If we can compete in this league and be in that neighbourhood I’d be quite happy.” The ‘A’ Orioles next games go in Colville on Tuesday at 4 and 6 p.m.

BY TIMES STAFF After splitting their first two games, the Trail ‘AA’ Orioles dramatic sixth inning comeback came up short as the O’s dropped the third match 10-9 to Central Valley on Sunday at Butler Park. The ‘AA’ Orioles lost their first match to the Central Valley Bears out of Spokane 16-8 in what was scheduled to be a four-game series, but rain washed out the second half of Saturday’s double dip. Trail bounced back in the second game Sunday, winning 16-2, on the strength of two doubles, a single, and six RBIs by Derek Green, and a towering two-run home run by Austin Tambellini. In the rubber match, the O’s fought back from a 7-1 deficit in the fourth,

scoring three in the bottom of the inning, a single in the fifth and plating four runs in the sixth to take a 9-7 lead. However, seven errors would eventually catch up with them as the Bears scored three runs in the top of the seventh to retake the lead and then get Trail out in the bottom half of the seventh for the 10-9 victory. The ‘AA’ Orioles outhit Central 16-7, but six unearned runs would prove the difference. The exhibition games were the first action of the season in the Washington State American Legion baseball league for the Trail ‘AA’ team. The ‘AA’ Orioles next home action will be on June 12-14 when they host the Trail Wood Bat Tournament at Butler Park.

THE CANADIAN PRESS TAMPA, Fla. - The Tampa Bay Lightning were constantly reminded this postseason of what they hadn’t done. This version of the Lightning hadn’t won a playoff game, let alone a series, knew nothing about Game 7 pressure and ventured into uncharted territory in the conference final. Along the way, the young Lightning became the first team since 1998 to reach the Stanley Cup final after being swept the previous year and the first in NHL history to defeat three Original Six teams to get to this point. After already knocking off the Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers, they can add another if they beat the Chicago Blackhawks and raise the Cup. More than history, though, the Lightning picked up valuable lessons over the first three rounds that make them more prepared to take on Chicago, which Steven Stamkos called “the ultimate beast.” “This is the biggest challenge yet,” Stamkos said Monday after practice at Amalie Arena. “You grow as a

team throughout each round, you learn a lot about this group, the adversities we’ve had to overcome, the great players that we’ve played along the way and have overcome.” NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs All Times Eastern FINAL Tampa Bay (2) vs. Chicago (3) Wednesday, June 3 Chicago at Tampa Bay, 8 p.m. Saturday, June 6 Chicago at Tampa, 7:15 p.m. Monday, June 8 Tampa Bay at Chicago, 8 p.m. Wednesday, June 10 Tampa Bay at Chicago, 8 p.m. Saturday, June 13 x-Chicago at Tampa 8 p.m. Monday, June 15 x-Tampa at Chicago, 8 p.m. Wednesday, June 17 x-Chicago at Tampa 8 p.m.

Tampa Bay eliminated Detroit’s Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg, Montreal’s Carey Price and P.K. Subban and New York’s Henrik Lundqvist and Rick Nash. Blackhawks stars Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith await. Stamkos and said Chicago’s skill level is “second to none,” but the mental hurdle of the Cup final for the Lightning is overcoming the experience gap. Having beaten three teams with more post-season experience helps. “I think it just gives us confidence and real-

ize that we are a young team, but going against experienced teams that we have to give ourselves a chance,” winger Ryan Callahan said. “Our inexperience is OK sometimes. We’re learning as we go here.” Coach Jon Cooper said it has been “an unreal journey to watch 23 different souls come together as one” this season. Maybe it’s an even longer process, as defenceman Matt Carle wondered if this run would have even happened had the Lightning not been swept by the Canadiens last year. But the classroom on the ice for this group began against the Red Wings. After falling behind three times in the series, the Lightning fought through plenty of obstacles to move on. “There was absolutely no space, no speed,” centre Tyler Johnson said. “I think that kind of taught us how to play. Using that against Montreal, then New York and just kind of doing that moulded us into the team we are right now.” Plenty motivated against the Montreal team that swept them last year, the Lightning took a stranglehold on

the second-round series before losing twice. Their Game 6 domination was evidence they could close out an opponent. Against the Rangers, the Lightning learned another lesson the hard way when they lost Game 1. Expect that to be a point of emphasis before Game 1 against Chicago on Wednesday. “You could tell that first game in New York we were kind of seeing what they were going to do,” goaltender Ben Bishop said. “I think we learned a lot that last series and not to do that. So hopefully we can learn from that and not have the same mistake twice.” Winning Game 7 at Madison Square Garden was more of a statement than a lesson. And it has the Lightning feeling confident going up against the Blackhawks. “You have to build somewhere and start somewhere and we’re excited about this group,” Stamkos said. “They’ve proven they can win at this time of the year. They’re champions for a reason, so it’s going to be a big mountain for us to climb. But I think everyone in this room is willing to do it.”

from a 2-on-1 at 13:50 to tie the game. “I felt for a lot of the game we had a lot of chances, a lot of opportunities, we probably had momentum for the first half of the game,” said Rockets head coach Dan Lambert. “Then there were a couple of calls that went the other way that gave them momentum that was hard to get back. “But in saying that, we had lots of opportunities and it was a hard fought battle.” The third period was relatively conservative and tight-checking but both teams had their chances. Midway in the third, Whistle sprawled across the crease to take a goal away from Mike McCarron. With just over five minutes left Nick Merkley broke in free on Appleby but, on the

deke attempt, the puck slid off his stick and wide of the net. In overtime, Oshawa struck quickly Cirelli crashed the net and banged a rebound past Whistle to give the Generals their first national major junior championship in 25 years. While Lambert was disappointed in the outcome, he couldn’t say the same for his team’s effort. “I can’t ask anything more than what our guys gave,” said Lambert. “They left it out there, and on a different night with a little bit of more bearing down and luck, we would have had four or five.” As for the season as a whole—which included a WHL title and a berth in the national final— the head coach spread the accolades around to his entire team.

“Obviously I’m really proud of the guys,” he said. “They’ve grown so much as a group. It’s too bad for them that it finished this way.” While dejected following the game, forward Leon Draisital, who the Rockets acquired in January was named the Memorial Cup’s most valuable player, had nothing but praise for his teammates. “This is the most talented group I’ve ever played on, we put in so much work this year,” said Draisaitl who had four goals and seven points during the tournament. “We’re very proud of each other, throughout the entire lineup we’ve done a great job.” Kelowna has been to five Memorial Cups in the last 12 years and won their lone CHL title on home ice in 2004.

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Rogers and Shaw say they’re sorry for cutting away early from David Letterman’s last show, preventing some viewers from seeing the late-night host’s final sign-off after more than three decades on the air. The CRTC sent letters to both companies this week seeking answers after it received viewer complaints about the May 20 finale on CBS. The “Late Show with David Letterman” was due to end 20 minutes later than its usual hourlong duration, but the show ran longer than expected as Letterman was sent off by a host of guest stars including Steve Martin, Tina Fey, Bill Murray and the Foo Fighters. At the end of the show’s scheduled time slot, Rogers and Shaw viewers saw Letterman’s show cut off as the channel switched from the CBS feed to other programming. A spokesman for Rogers Communications said that due to an “internal miscommunication,” customers watching its CBS feed on cable TV in Ontario, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador missed about a minute of Letterman’s show before the channel returned to the feed. “We apologize to our customers for the issue with the Letterman broadcast,” said Kevin Spafford. “We’re taking active steps to prevent errors from happening in the future.” In their complaints to the CRTC, some Shaw customers said their channels did not switch back to the CBS feed and they were denied the chance to watch Letterman’s farewell. Chethan Lakshman, a spokesman for Shaw Communications said the company is committed to developing an industry-wide approach to the issue. The problem stems from simultaneous substitution, where programs broadcast from the United States are aired on Canada networks that replace American ads with Canadian ones. The practice can lead to errors on live TV if Canadian broadcasters don’t align their commercial breaks with American ones or they switch from one American feed to another before a show is finished. In January, the CRTC said the Super Bowl and the famous ads that go along with it will become free of the simultaneous substitution rules, beginning in 2017.
