Missing Trail man found after 11 days

Search crews locate Gavin Ballard on Saturday in Pend d’Oreille area BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

A Trail family is counting their blessings after Gavin Ballard was located this weekend and is on the mend at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital. The 23-year-old Trail man, who was reported missing July 14, was located Saturday at around 6 p.m. in a wooded area in the Pend d'Oreille. After receiving a tip from the public, investigators located his abandoned vehicle about three kilometres from the Buckley Campground, which triggered an extensive search headed by South Columbia Search and Rescue (SAR). “I feel like a huge load has been lifted and I would like to hug everyone who took part in finding Gavin — Search and Rescue and the Trail detachment,” Gavin's grandmother, Georgina Ballard, told the Trail Times Monday. The Ballard family took search efforts into their hands Saturday when they scoured the region, dropping missing person posters with truck drivers, drop-in clinics and others in the Nelson and Salmo area. When the cold weather moved in, Georgina pulled a sweater on and couldn't help but think of how long Gavin had been “cold and hungry.” She never lost hope that search efforts would rule in her favour and is overjoyed she had professionals like Trail and Greater District RCMP's Cpl. Darryl Orr on her side. Georgina was contacted that same day with the good news. “Right now I've got tears coming down my face,” she said, adding that the hurt and anguish she was feeling is replaced with gratitude. The relief was shared by Mike Hudson, president of the South Columbia SAR. Gavin was in “fairly decent spirits, and he was walking on his own” when SAR managed to catch up with him. “He seemed a little bit dazed and confused, you know he had been out there for a few days and didn't have any water or food with him,” Hudson said Monday. “My understanding was that he was eating off of bushes and trees and whatever he could get at, and he was pretty close to a main creek and probably was getting water from there.” The team's efforts stalled last Monday when no clues turned up in and around the missing person's frequented camp in the Sunningdale See CLOTHING, Page 2

Take a Hike seeking outdoor gear for popular program BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Before the new school year revs up in about six weeks, Take a Hike is looking for new or gently used gear and outdoor clothing for Trail's adventurebased learning program. “This is a pretty comprehensive list of things we're always looking for,” says Jaydeen Williams, program director for the Take a Hike Youth at Risk Foundation. “Either new or used, but in good condition.” Quality rain or winter jackets, fleece and wool sweaters, snow pants, polypropylene or wool based layers and long sleeved shirts are in high need as well as

gloves, mittens, toques and wool socks. Outdoor clothing must be waterproof and in good condition, added Williams. Bigger ticket items the program seeks include high volume single kayaks, mountain bicycles and parts, cycling helmets, gloves, waterproof hiking boots and gym or water shoes. Anyone willing to purchase new or donate is asked to contact Williams at 604.710.1677 or email jaydeen@ takeahikefoundation.org. Charitable tax receipts are available. At risk students living anywhere in the West Kootenay can have the chance to succeed and graduate through classroom support, physical challenges,

volunteerism and one-on-one therapy with Take a Hike, which is run in the Kootenay Columbia Learning Centre (KCLC). A good student isn't one that only excels in the classroom but one that also excels outside of the classroom says the Foundation's Matthew Coyne. “In our short two years, the Take a Hike program has had a meaningful impact not only on the lives of our students, but for the community as well,” Coyne explained. “Our program helps our students understand that they are part of a larger community and they have a responsibility to give back.” See COMMUNITY, Page 3

FROM PAGE 1 water tower area. Thirteen members from South Columbia and two from Castlegar spent about seven hours following the entire Trans Canada Trail from Sunningdale to Castlegar in hopes of finding Ballard, who liked to hike. The search resumed Saturday, however, with assistance from sister SAR groups out of Rossland, (again Castlegar) and Nelson. A total of 21 volunteers pushed through the “torrential downpours, hail, wind, thunder, and lightning.” The team set up a command centre near the abandoned vehicle, about two and a half kilometres past Buckley Campground, and began by eliminating “common areas” like a natural draw or open clearing. Three teams tackled this while another quadded further into the bush to set up portable repeaters to improve communication. While at it, articles of clothing were spotted, bagged and the area was marked. From there, the search continued, and crews located more clothing further up.

Hudson. “Once we got confirmation from the RCMP about the subject’s shoe size

and clothing sizes, it was pretty much confirmed that (the clothing) was probably from our subject.” Efforts traced the trail of belongings with a “circular search” before heading to the higher end of the Pend d’Oreille, not too far off from a road that connects to the water tower in Fruitvale. “It is a pretty heavily wooded area, very thick brush, which made it very hard to search through,” said Hudson. “Lots of underbrush and stuff and then of course with the poor weather conditions, it was definitely a tough search.” Gavin was located 4.5 km away from where his car was found and led down to the command centre to receive on-site medical attention while awaiting ambulance and RCMP. He was suffering from exposure and dehydration and was immediately transported to the Trail hospital for medical treatment, Cpl. Orr noted in a news release. “He’s doing much better,” Georgina reassured. “He looks better and all and everyone is doing a lot better.”

Waneta Expansion Project’s worker appreciation picnic

Flora MacDonald

Pioneer for women in Canadian politics THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Flora MacDonald, who served as a senior cabinet member in two Conservative federal governments and made a run for the party’s leadership in 1976, died Sunday. She was 89. MacDonald’s long-time executive assistant Margit Herrman says MacDonald died in Ottawa - the cause of death was not immediately available. MacDonald was the first woman to hold the foreign affairs portfolio, handling the job in Joe Clark’s short-lived government in 1979 and early 1980. She headed the department during the Iranian hostage crisis when Canadian diplomats gave shelter to six Americans who escaped capture when their embassy was overrun by student demonstrators. She was among the first to hear that Canada’s ambassador in Iran, Ken Taylor, was hiding the diplomats. MacDonald pulled Clark out of the House of Commons to brief him. MacDonald was first elected to the House of Commons in 1972, after successfully running as the Progressive Conservative party candidate in the Ontario riding of Kingston and the Islands. She held the riding until her defeat in 1988. Hugh Segal, Brian Mulroney’s former Chief of Staff, describes MacDonald as an early feminist who was unafraid to take on the maledominated world of politics despite her humble Cape Breton roots. “She made it perfectly clear that women had an absolute right to participate as individuals who were not in any way diminished or limited by gender,” he said. MacDonald retired from politics after her election defeat in 1988 and concentrated on humanitarian work. She received the Order of Canada in 1992, where she was cited for her “distinguished leadership in federal politics” and her humanitarian work.

Canadian math whiz wins math Olympiad for high school students

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The name Alex Song is spoken in reverential tones in Canadian mathematical circles. The 18-year-old won the International Mathematical Olympiad in Thailand in mid-July, achieving the rare perfect score in the two-day competition against more than 600 high school competitors from 104 countries. Song has had an incredible run over the past six years, finishing with five gold medals and one bronze against the best in the world. Now he sits atop the all-time leaderboard, ranking first on the Olympiad’s Hall of Fame. The Olympiad is a big deal in math. Previous participants have gone on to win prestigious international awards such as the Fields Medal, given out to a few mathematicians under 40 years old, every four years. It’s considered by many as the highest honour in mathematics. For Song, the Olympiad win wasn’t that big of a deal. “I was definitely very happy at the same time,” he says. “But, I mean, it was just

whatever happened.” Song just graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy, an elite academic boarding school in New Hampshire. He is modest about his achievement. “I felt like I was very lucky to solve all the problems, but at the same I’m not sure if any of the problems gave me trouble,” he said from his parents’ home in San Jose, Calif. He grew up in Waterloo, Ont., until moving to New Hampshire to start high school in 2011. His coach, leader of Math Team Canada, made up for Song’s nonchalance. “The results are fantastic,” said a jubilant Jacob Tsimerman, a math professor at the University of Toronto. “Alex is unique and destined for greatness.” The United States took first overall in the team competition, which was established in 1959. Canada finished ninth overall, ending up in the Top 10 for the third time in the past four years. It’s a big change from the previous 30 years when Canada regularly found itself finishing among

the top 20 or 30 countries. Tsimerman said the team decided to change the way it coached its “mathletes.” Rather than use older professors removed from the math Olympiad scene, the Canadian Mathematical Society chose to use more recent graduates of the program, Tsimerman said. Some of the country’s heavy hitters in the Olympiad returned to coach. Tsimerman is one of those heavy hitters, finishing first in the competition in 2004. Another coach, James Rickards, competed just two years ago and is now a student at Cambridge University, Tsimerman said. Before the competition, the six-member team assembled at the Banff International Research Station for two weeks of intensive training. The team buckled down with a mock exam, lectures and lots of practice. The International Mathematical Olympiad features six questions over two days. There are three questions on the first day for more than four hours of competition, then the same on the

second day. “The middle questions on each day were very difficult,” Tsimerman said. “This year, even if you did solve them both, there wasn’t much time left over to solve the final questions on each day, so you saw much fewer people solving those because they didn’t have the time.” But Song was in the zone, cruising on both days, finishing with an hour to spare on Day 1 and 30 minutes the next. He kept celebrations to a minimum. “I didn’t do too much - it was Thailand. We mostly just stayed in the hotel, talked to the other teams, played some games with them and went on some excursions.” The champ will start his collegiate career at Princeton University next month. He said he hopes to focus on pure mathematics and “needs to get prepared for mathematical research.” Tsimerman said Canadians should remember Song’s name. “He is destined for greatness,” Tsimerman said. “But let’s not forget he’s already achieved greatness in his short career.”

Soggy weekend dampens ground, raises hopes THE CANADIAN PRESS KAMLOOPS, B.C. - Weekend rain has resulted in a dramatic improvement on the wildfire front across the province. Fire information officer Ryan Turcot says 170 active wildfires are currently burning in B.C. That’s a significant drop from the high of 252 fires recorded last week as high temperatures and strong winds fanned flames in parts of the Okanagan and southern Interior. Turcot says most of the 170 active fires were caused by lightning, while six new blazes were reported Sunday and today, with four of those sparked by lightning and two believed to be human-caused. Nearly 3,000-square kilometres of woodland has been burned by 1,342 wildfires since the forest fire season began in April.

Company penalized for pressuring seniors to buy

THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - The watchdog for British Columbia’s consumers has penalized a doorto-door vacuum-cleaner and air-filtration company for taking advantage of seniors. Consumer Protection B.C. has ordered Advanced Air Supply to refund customers more than $5,100, and pay $4,100 in penalties and partial inspection costs. The watchdog says the company and sole director Jacob Douglass represented used products as new, took advantage and failed to refund seniors, and used contracts that didn’t contain legally required information. It says the company also used questionable tactics, such as surveys and prize incentives, to access the homes of customers. Consumer protection spokeswoman Tatiana Chabeaux-Smith says the business subjected seniors to lengthy and high-pressure sales presentations.

Drought forces Okanagan to stop salmon fishing The Vernon Morning Star VERNON – Local anglers are being cut off salmon fishing due to record low water levels and deadly temperatures. “It’s just trying to give the fish the best chance,” said Dean Allan, B.C. Interior resource manager for Fisheries and Oceans. Water levels in many systems in the Thompson and Shuswap are extremely low and temperatures in many cases are reaching lethal limits for migrating salmon. Effective immediately, all waters in the Okanagan (region eight) and Thompson (region three) are closed to fishing for all salmon species until further notice.

Vancouver’s water shortage a wake-up call to residents and politicians: expert THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - On a sunny afternoon in Stanley Park, cricket players run on parched yellow grass. A majestic fountain in the middle of Lost Lagoon sits dormant. A little girl approaches an inactive splash pad, squealing when its user-activated geysers suddenly gush water. Vancouver, often admired for its lush greenery and occasionally mocked for its torrential rain, has turned a dry, dusty brown as a savage drought sweeps Western Canada. And as residents adapt to the harshest water restrictions imposed in 12 years, experts and officials warn it’s time to get used to turning off the taps. When asked how the province stacks up to other parts of the world in terms of water conservation, University of British Columbia watershed management professor Hans Schreier doesn’t mince words. “We’re terrible,” he says. “We’re terrible, seriously. We are the second biggest water users. We have never worried about water. We have terrible regulations.” Canada as a whole, not just B.C., is the second-largest water consumer in the world after the United States. Each Canadian uses about 350 litres of water a day, compared to a European

who uses about 150 litres. But British Columbians have long been overusing and under-valuing water, Schreier says. New legislation to replace the 1909 Water Act is finally set to take effect next year and will regulate ground-

But Schreier says these restrictions should have been imposed earlier in the unusually hot, dry summer. Further, he says Metro Vancouver could be more innovative with water-saving technology and infrastructure. For example, he

water for the first time in the province. “There are going to be more floods and more drought,” he warns. “We should start thinking about adapting to these conditions.” This week, Metro Vancouver a region that includes Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby - issued Stage 3 water restrictions for the first time since 2003, requiring residents to quit watering their lawns or face a $250 fine. Daily consumption dropped swiftly from 1.48 billion litres on Monday to 1.05 billion litres on Friday. Bylaw officers received a torrent of neighbour complaints about running sprinklers, and social media users even adopted a hashtag, #grasshole, to publicly shame offenders.

says each resident should have a barrel to collect rain to water their gardens. He adds that low-flush toilets and so-called “purple pipes” that recycle water from sinks, baths and washing machines should be added to all old houses, not just new ones. Finally, he says all homes should have smart water meters that measure consumption. The City of Abbotsford already uses such a system, which allows it to easily identify and ticket residents who are violating water restrictions. Metro Vancouver chair Greg Moore says the region has been monitoring water for a century and this week marks only the second time it has had to impose Stage 3 restrictions. “We haven’t seen

Residents of Electoral Area ‘B’/ Lower Columbia-Old Glory

We need your feedback! We have been asked to enter into a new agreement with the City of Trail for accessing the City’s recreational facilities, services and programs. We have had one public meeting and would like to offer the residents of Electoral Area ‘B’/Lower Columbia-Old Glory one more opportunity to offer their opinion. Please go to www.rdkb.com and click on the link which will take you to a very short questionnaire and opportunity to comment. We would ask that you submit your comments by August 7, 2015. Thank you.

this type of drought and consumption of water in our history,” says Moore, who is also mayor of Port Coquitlam, a suburb east of Vancouver. While Metro Vancouver has cut its per capita water consumption by 23 per cent over the past 20 years, the region’s population is also very rapidly growing, Moore adds. “Our overall water usage is up, but luckily we’re using less per person.” Moore says this week the reservoirs dropped to 69 per cent capacity, levels typically seen at the end of August. The reservoirs have kept up with population growth, he says, but the recent dry spell has created “extraordinary conditions.” Under Stage 3 restrictions, residents can water flowers, vegetable gardens and trees as long as they don’t use sprinklers or hoses. Car-washing outside is not allowed, but commercial car washes that recycle water remain open.

Sand-based sports fields can be watered minimally, as can tees and greens on golf courses. Only water parks with user-activated switches like the one in Stanley Park are open. “There’s an expectation from the public that they can recreate, whether it’s a sports field or a golf course,” says Howard Normann of the Vancouver Park Board. “Our main goal is conserving water.” Normann points out that residents of B.C.’s Gulf Islands conserve water whether it’s February or July, and it’s time for Vancouverites to become equally waterconscious. “If you were going to talk to three quarters of the world and tell them that you fill your toilets with drinking water, they would think you were crazy,” he says. “The message is clearly that times are changing. If global warming is having the big impact that it may look like it’s having, then we have to be smarter.”

Free trade in milk, eggs, even logs?

ne of the rituals of life in southern B.C. communities is cross-border shopping for certain items. Even corner store owners are known to pop down to Washington border towns to load up a van with U.S. milk, taking advantage of a price difference generated by our “supply management” system. The recent slide in the Canadian dollar reduces this pressure in the short term, but the fact remains that dairy producers are propped up in Canada. And that’s increasingly a problem as Canada pursues entry into the Trans Pacific Partnership, the next big trade deal. With the U.S., Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other countries involved, it would form the largest trading bloc in the world. Canada uses tariffs of up to 300 per cent to protect its dairy and poultry industries from foreign imports, and the higher

domestic price on milk and eggs is a burden that falls most heavily on poor people. The industry group Dairy Farmers of Canada and others argue that reducing or removing Canada’s import protection won’t change the huge farm subsidies paid by European and U.S. governments. The recent trade agreement between Canada and the European Union has already chipped away at this protection. The Conservative government is tiptoeing on this issue as a fall election approaches, with rural seats across the country at stake. But the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand have deregulated their dairy industries and the Canadian industry is already facing increased cheese imports due to the European Union agreement. It’s an issue to watch as the federal election heats up. The NDP has pos-

TOM

FLETCHER B.C. Views

itioned itself as a defender of supply management, a particularly touchy issue in rural Quebec, while the federal Liberals are committed to keeping up with the U.S. and joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The trend toward freer trade is broad and long. The Harper government ended the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board in 2012, and grain growers continue to compete globally. A trade deal with Korea saw tariffs come off Korean import vehicles, and life goes on. Another controlled

and protected commodity that is seldom discussed is logs. That’s changed with the push for the Trans Pacific Partnership, as Japan protests federal and provincial restrictions that push up the cost of logs for export. Ottawa regulates the export of private land logs, but only in B.C. This is a long-standing irritant for private land owners, holding the domestic price for premium “J grade” Douglas fir logs below $80 per cubic metre while the price in Asia and Washington state has climbed above $100. The U.S. has long complained about B.C.’s cheap Crown land stumpage and low domestic log prices in general, viewing them as a subsidy to lumber production. Indeed, this whole protection apparatus is designed to stimulate domestic milling, although it doesn’t seem to be working. The main

investment by B.C. forest companies recently has been buying southern U.S. sawmills. The coastal industry has maintained that profits from log exports are keeping logging alive, paying for the harvest and processing of logs in B.C. With Pacific trade talks in the background, pushed hard by U.S. President Barack Obama, the latest Canada-U.S. lumber agreement is due to expire in October. It will be more difficult to defend what University of Alberta economist Jack Mintz calls a “Soviet-style approach to price determination.” B.C. used to do something similar to this with wine, protecting a backward industry cranking out mostly god-awful plonk. Competition made the wine industry better, and now it’s world class. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - AT&T’s $48.5 billion purchase of DirecTV is set to close after winning approval Friday from the Federal Communications Commission. The Justice Department had already cleared the deal, which will create the largest provider of cable or satellite TV in the U.S., with 26.4 million cable and satellite TV subscribers. That’s more than Comcast as well as a bigger Charter, which is seeking government approval to buy Time Warner Cable. Suppliers of TV are buying one another as video from Internet competitors like Netflix gets more popular and costs rise for channels. Adding TV customers gives AT&T more power to negotiate with big media companies over prices for those channels. The deal also combines a nationwide satellite TV service, the country’s largest, with the No. 2 nationwide wireless network as time spent on mobile devices increases. DirecTV also has 19.5 million customers in Latin America, where AT&T wants to grow. AT&T’s purchase of DirecTV was approved even as Comcast’s bid for Time Warner Cable, which would have made the country’s biggest cable company even more massive, was blocked. The AT&T deal did not trigger the same fears from consumer advocates because the company wouldn’t contain an entertainment division like Comcast’s NBCUniversal and wouldn’t gain Internet customers, considered the future of the industry, by buying DirecTV.

An editorial from the Guelph Mercury Is that another Orange Crush on the horizon? It’s a little early to try reading the tea leaves of the upcoming federal election. But it’s undeniable that the New Democratic Party is surging in popularity now, just as it did under the late Jack Layton four years ago. In that 2011 election, of course, the New Democrats made breakthroughs in Quebec and elsewhere, under the likable Layton. The party became the Official Opposition, with 103 seats to the Liberals’ 34. The wave of support which brought it to these new heights was dubbed “Orange Crush” in reference to the party’s signature colour. Political pundits wondered if this had been a fluke, due

to Layton’s uncanny personal charisma and resonance with ordinary voters. Could the party repeat it with a new leader? Well, yes. Lately, one opinion poll after the other has shown the New Democrats win ning a minority government if the election were held now, with the Liberals in a distant third place. A new poll from Forum Research shows the Conservatives and New Democrats tied in support. That same poll shows New Democratic Party leader Thomas Mulcair in the lead when respondents are asked who would make the best prime minister. Of course, there are many caveats. Election campaigns can be very volatile, and it has often happened that the most popular party at the outset ends up disappointed after the votes are

counted. But Mulcair has the failure of his rivals on his side. The public’s honeymoon with Justin Trudeau is over, showing that the Liberal Party has continued its streak of choosing leaders who find it hard to win the confidence of Canadians. As for the Conservatives, there’s a sense they are tired and out of touch, with Prime Minister Stephen Harper an increasingly isolated figure against the backdrop of the shaky economy he once was credited with managing so well. It’s summer, and most Canadians would prefer to spend these scarce warm days with a cold drink and a not-toodemanding book, rather than think about politics. But now is the time for us to take the measure of Mulcair, his policies, his qualifications and his party.

ly increased its hourly wage by almost 15 per cent, and a few weeks ago in New York state a special panel recommended raising the sector’s minimum wage to $15/hour. In light of severe economic inequalities, and as CEOs continue to earn millions despite the economic downturn, more and more employees are calling for wage democracy. In response, some governments are opting to raise wages themselves, instead of waiting for industry to make its move. These changes are starting to test the limits of the hospitality industry’s profit margin and, despite the brand loyalty of its consumers, even Starbucks is starting to feel the pressure. The success of price hikes at Starbucks is supported by marketing research, and companies which are raising prices are simply shielding themselves from a social movement that is riding a tidal wave of support. Call it socio-economic hedging if you will, but it would not be surprising to see Starbucks – which appears to understand that raising prices too quickly may alienate its base and that taking an incremental approach ensures long term success – raise prices again in the near future. Pressure is mounting on food chains to pay employees decent wages, as well as to give them proper training. While this is the right thing to do, we will all have to accept that wage democracy comes at a cost.

Pan Am silver and bronze for Greater Trail athletes By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

It was a bitter-sweet Pan American Games for Fruitvale’s Ella Matteucci and Thea Culley of Rossland. But in the end, the Greater Trail athletes proved the epitome of class and competitive spirit, winning silver and bronze medals respectively at the 17th edition of the Pan Am Games in Toronto. Culley and Team Canada women’s field hockey team captured bronze in an exciting 1-0 victory over Chile on Friday, but only after a 3-0 loss to the eventual champion U.S.A. in the semifinal had foiled their chances at the 2016 Olympics in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. “We wanted to beat the Americans and play for the gold medal,” Culley told a CBC reporter. “We wanted to represent Canada and go for that gold medal game, but there was still a lot to play for.” As for Matteucci and Team Canada women’s baseball team, following a 6-1 victory over Venezuela in the semifinal, the team would settle for silver on Sunday, after falling to rival U.S.A. 11-3 in the gold-medal match up.

have a lot to be proud of when we look back (in the future).” CBC’s controversial coverage of the Games was never more in question than on Sunday when the network ran a re-run of the

Canadian men’s volleyball team’s bronze medal match against Puerto Rico, as Team Canada women’s baseball team battled the U.S. for gold in the sport’s first appearance in the Games.

The U.S. jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning, as Canadian starter Vanessa Riopel went just one-third of an inning, giving up four runs on three hits and a walk. After going up 5-0 in the third, Canada would reply, scoring three times in the fourth inning against ace Sarah Hudek to cut the lead to 5-3. However, any late-inning heroics was not in the cards in Sunday’s final, as Anna Kimbrell hit a bases-clearing double in the fifth inning to open up a close game as the Americans tacked on three runs in the fifth and three more in the sixth to crush Canada’s quest for gold. Hudek, who hit in the cleanup spot, also drove in three runs, and gave up three runs on four hits while walking five and striking out two over 3 1/3 innings. Stacy Piagno pitched 3 2/3 innings of shutout ball the rest of the way. Matteucci came into pitch hit in the seventh for Team Canada and, with two out, kept the team’s hopes alive when she was awarded first base after being hit by a pitch. However, the next batter would ground out to third to end the game. See FIRST, Page 11

Little League Major provincials

Former champs oust O’s White Rock too much for All Stars

By Times Staff The Trail AA Orioles knew they had their work cut out for them heading into the Washington State AA American Legion Baseball championship in Lacey, Wash. this week. Still, they didn’t get much help as they were bounced by last year’s champion Yakima Valley Peppers in the second game of the double knock-out tournament. The AA Orioles dropped their opening game on Saturday against a tough Bellingham Post 7 team 7-2, before they were sent packing in a 12-4 loss to Yakima on Sunday. The Orioles were the only Canadian team playing in the 16-team state tournament, and were one of four teams, including

Mt. Spokane, Asotin, and Gonzaga Prep, from the Area 3 to compete. In the first round, Olympia, a number-four seed from Area 2, shocked the number-one seeded Peppers from Area 4 in their opening match 3-1 to drop Yakima into the losers bracket to face Trail. The AA Orioles jumped out to a promising start scoring three in the top of the fourth to take a 3-1 lead. Yet, with two outs and one runner on, an error would cost the O’s dearly as the Peppers would rally to score five times in the fifth to take a 6-3 lead, and add one more in the sixth and five in the seventh for the 12-4 victory. Soukeroff went 2-for-4 for the O’s, while Tambellini was tagged with the loss,

going 4 2/3 innings, giving up seven runs, of which just one was earned, on six hits, and five strike outs. In the first match, the AA O’s managed just three hits as Bellingham jumped out to a 5-1 lead after two innings then rode the arm of Dylan Harper to victory. Harper went seven innings giving up two runs on three hits, four walks and six strike outs as he faced just 27 Trail batters for the victory. Brendan Makay took the loss for Trail, going five innings, and giving up seven runs on seven hits. Nathan Soukeroff went 1-for-2 with a triple, and Bradley Ross was also 1-for2 with an RBI. Bellingham would beat Olympia 10-0 in their second match.

By Times Staff The Trail Major All Stars wrapped up the Little League provincial championship on Saturday falling to undefeated White Rock 19-7 in the final day of roundrobin action. After rain wiped out all games on Friday, play would resume on Saturday, with the semifinals and final being set back a day. White Rock pounded out 19 hits and scored seven runs in the final inning to put an exclamation point on what had been a relatively close game. Trail jumped out to a 1-0 lead after Kai Birks brought home Kelton Forte who had walked then advanced to third on a single from Luke Miracle. However, White Rock would score six runs in the top of the second inning and another in the third to go up 7-1. Trail would strike for two runs in the bottom of third. Isaac Knight led off with a double, and Forte and Miracle would follow with back-to-back singles to score Knight and Forte would make it 7-3 on a passed ball. The teams would exchange four runs

each in the fourth, but 11-7 was as close as the Trail All Stars would come as White Rock broke it open in the sixth to remain undefeated and finish the tournament at a perfect 6-0. Miracle went 3-for-4 at the plate for Trail, while Forte was 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Forte also took the loss on the mound for the All Stars, going three innings giving up six hits and seven runs, three earned, while striking out four. Knight led all Trail hitters in the tournament going 7-for-14 for a .500 average, Forte hit .417 and Miracle .389 while leading the team on the mound with a 2.07 earned run average, nine strike outs, one walk and three earned runs over eightand-two-thirds innings pitched. Trail would finish at 1-5 with their only victory coming against Lynn Valley, 6-4, in the opening game. White Rock beat Little Mountain 10-0 in the first-versusfourth seed semifinal on Sunday while New Westminster downed South Van 9-3. The final between White Rock and New West went Monday evening but the score was unavailable at press time.

Canada surpasses Pan Am Games objectives

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - From Day 1 of the Pan American Games, Curt Harnett says he knew Canadian athletes “were in it to win it.” By the final day, Canada’s chef de mission and his team of 717-strong were basking in the most successful Pan Am performance in Canadian history. “One podium performance quickly followed another, en route to our Top 2 place in the medals table,” Harnett said Sunday at the Canadian team’s closing news conference. “Like a parent, I could not be more proud, with each and every athlete on Team Canada. You delivered.” Canada set an ambitious goal of finishing second in the

medal standings, and brought the team to do it. From swimmer Ryan Cochrane, to decathlete Damian Warner, to kayaker Adam van Koeverden, Canada fielded not only its largest ever team, but arguably strongest, for Toronto. It was a who’s who of athletes who will shine on sport’s biggest stage at next summer’s Rio Olympics. Canada’s women’s kayak team of Michelle Russell, Emilie Fournel, KC Fraser and Hannah Vaughan kicked off the record run with gold in the K-4 500 on the morning of Day 1, in the first event of the Games. And by the time the women’s baseball team capped Canada’s run to the podium with a

silver medal, the host nation had amassed 217 medals, 78 gold, 69 silver, and 70 bronze. The mighty Americans will take home 265 - 103 gold, 81 silver and 81 bronze. Brazil finished a distant third with 141 medals. Not everyone brought their top athletes to Toronto. The Americans fielded squads of mainly B-team athletes. Jamaica was missing its best sprinters, like superstar Usain Bolt. Canada, meanwhile, topped its previous best of 197 medals when Winnipeg hosted the Games in 1999. Canada passed that mark with two days to go. Along the way, Canadian stars were born, such as Kia Nurse, the 19-year-

old who led Canada’s women’s basketball team to its first ever gold medal. Nurse was chosen to carry Canada’s flag in to the closing ceremonies. There was sprint phenom Andre De Grasse, won both the 100 and 200 metres, shattering his own Canadian record in the 200. The 20-year-old would have captured a third gold had the 4x100-metre relay not been disqualified for a lane violation. Ellie Black leapt and tumbled to five medals in artistic gymnastics, as Canada’s most decorated athlete at the Games. Whitney McClintock in waterskiing, Jasmin Glaesser in cycling, and swimmer Santo Condorelli each won four medals apiece.

First medal since ‘99 for women’s field hockey

FROM PAGE 10 Meanwhile, Culley and Canada’s Field Hockey team won it’s first medal at the Pan Am Games since 1999 with the 1-0 defeat of Chile on Friday night at the University of Toronto pitch. Brienne Stairs scored at 5:02 of the fourth frame to net the winner on a deflection off a corner from veteran Kate Gillis. Canada and Chile were relegated to the bronze medal game after losing their respective semifinals, Canada to the United States, while Chile lost 5-0 to Argentina. The U.S. would beat Argentina 2-1 in the final to claim gold. Canada needed to win gold to claim a berth at the 2016 Summer Games in Rio, but Stairs said it was important to come away with a medal before a loud, boisterous home crowd.

And for Culley and the other veterans, the win was a measure of revenge since losing to Chile in the bronze medal match in the 2011 Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mex. “For us, it was ‘let’s refocus, let’s honour ourselves and the hard work we’ve been doing for the past four years, or for some of us - eight-to-10 years - and finish on a high note and really achieve something we knew was possible.” As for the whole Pan Am Games experience, as Culley says, “it was Pan-Amazing.” Pan Am Moments: Thea Culley’s parents Lisa Henderson and Loren Culley of Rossland also attended the Games, and Henderson was featured in a Toronto Star article by Brendan Kennedy entitled, “It’s no Pan-Am picnic for parents

watching their children compete.” The piece describes the emotional roller coaster many of the parents go through as they continue to support their athlete offspring as they travel the world and compete in iconic events like the Pan Am Games. Henderson also shares some of the unique superstitions that help the parents cope with the experience, and the special moment she shared with Thea after the bronze-medal match. “Sometimes it’s harder to watch from the sidelines, because you’re helpless,” Henderson said.

The Eagle’s Nest

Canada’s men’s softball team kept a firm grasp on gold, winning No. 8 in a row. No other country has ever won the tournament. “At this Pan Am Games, top 2, I told you it was an ambitious objective, the way we like them. We like ambitious,” said Canadian Olympic Committee president Marcel Aubut. “I told you also that I had incredible faith in this great, great Canadian team.” Canada’s total gold medals collected four years ago in Guadalajara was 30.

athletes with medal potential across all sports, not just Olympic and Paralympic sports. Harnett, who pedalled to three Olympic medals for Canada, said his time as chef de mission is his favourite sports experience. “There are many individual stories, but we have done one thing very well, and that’s inspired Canada in such a significant way, and Canadians have inspired our athletes in such a significant way, that we know that the road to Rio for many of these athletes will bring great things.”

This Canadian team blew by that mark on just Day 5 here. Canada surpassed the 119 total medals from Guadalajara on Day 8. Canada took a much smaller team to Mexico, mainly because the Games fell so late in the competitive season. And Canada wasn’t the home team. Aubut said the COC doubled its funding for athletes and sports compared to previous Pan Ams. The federal government provided an extra $3 million to Own The Podium for these Games to assist

The United Church runs the 137 acre camp on the West Arm of Kootenay Lake across from Six Mile. It has been in operation since “This summer we’ve seen more new campers than we have in a long time,” said camp manager Juliana Marko. “We have a no turn away policy which means that everyone is welcome, even those who can’t financially afford it.” Donations to their camper-ship fund allows all campers to participate. “Koolaree is here for the community to experience the world away from technology,” said Marko. “We are about creating community and relationships while getting ‘back to the earth’”, adding with boat access only, it’s the perfect place to get away from it all. They are working towards a kitchen and dining hall restoration project next spring,

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - When considering the expectations set for Canada’s athletes, Toronto’s 2015 Pan American Games have been an unqualified success. Canada’s medal haul “has certainly contributed to the buzz around the games,” says Trevor Pilling, head of programming at CBC Sports. With CBC the Canadian broadcast rights holder for the next three Olympic Games, Pilling will take the momentum. “I think it sets us up very nicely for the Olympics next year.” Still, beyond the podium, how did these games perform for CBC? Held on a Friday, the opening ceremony drew 1.66 million total viewers (1.93 million if you add viewers on CBC News Network). It was a strong start, but behind “The Amazing Race Canada,” “Masterchef” and “America’s Got Talent” for that week. CBC’s daily prime-time coverage of the games hovered around the 900,000 mark nationally in overnight estimates, with afternoon coverage in the 600,000 to 650,000 range. It was not until Wednesday of the final week that CBC cracked the one-million mark in terms of national primetime audience estimates. The Pan Am Games were not a big draw with younger viewers. On Sunday, July 17, for example, of the estimated 870,000 viewers tuned into CBC’s prime-time coverage, only 276,000 were in the 18-to-49 demographic. Nevertheless, Pilling maintains that CBC is “very happy with the audience. There is no question that Canada has embraced the games.” Some critics complained that CBC erred by not offering viewers live coverage of two main Pan Am events: Canada’s surprise gold medal win over the United States in men’s baseball and the women’s triumph in the basketball final. A fundamental for CBC - which committed to airing “The National” newscast weeknights at 10 p.m. ET sharp - was “not to start an event you can’t finish.” This came into play with the big baseball and basketball gold medal games. Those events were offered to Canadians live via streaming, with 44,818 watching the women’s basketball gold medal game and 57,780 viewing the men’s baseball gold medal game.
