The Lytton was built in 1890 and worked the river until 1902, towing barges and hauling passengers between Revelstoke and Northport. When the CPR bridge was opened in Castlegar on March 20, 1902, she was beached above Robson. First of the CPR sternwheelers to “die with her boots on,” this hard-working profitable vessel was dismantled in 1904. Some houses in Burton were constructed from materials in her hull.

The Trail Historical Society has kindly offered photos and stories related to the history of Trail. In the early days of Trail, the river was a beehive of activity and the Trail Creek News rarely had an issue without a report of some incident on the river. On Oct. 19, 1895, a story appeared about the steamer Lytton’s chief engineer Sproat, who saved a drowning man from the whirlpools of the Columbia. An unemployed cook named Rodney Robinson who was standing on deck, moved to avoid the ship’s bright searchlight and fell into the frigid Columbia. Not being able to swim, Robinson screamed for help. Engineer Sproat, who was working on some machinery, heard the cry, and donned with clothes, shoes and a heavy coat, jumped into the water to save him. “If the man had kept still and allowed himself to be rescued,” the News reported,

“the chief would have been able to perform the feat without trouble, but the minute the chief grabbed the drowning man, the latter grabbed the chief, and both went under. Then began a terrible struggle for the shore which both came near never reaching.” A crowd gathered on the deck of the boat, hurling life preservers, ropes and boards. “At last, when about 10 feet from shore, and just as the pair were going under water again, probably never to reappear alive, Peter Jennell ran into the stream and thrust a board out to Mr. Sproat, who grabbed it, and then willing hands completed the work of rescue.” Arriving on shore, Robinson was unconscious and great efforts were made to “to empty the water out of him.” The doctor arrived, artificial respiration administered and Robinson was taken to Trail House, recovering consciousness on the way.

Group forms society to restore historic Kootenay trail By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

People from all walks of life are joining forces to restore a local trail that's older than the country itself. Preserving, protecting and spurring the Dewdney Trail into its rightful place in Canadian prominence has long been a passion for Rossland's Richie Mann and Graham Jones. Now in its 150th year, the Dewdney Trail is in need of a 21st century over haul. So the two men recently gathered a whole new group of hikers, bikers, horsemen and historians to form the Dewdney Trail Heritage Society. “We are feeling pretty good now that we sent off our forms and constitution to be registered as a society,” Mann told the Trail Times. “Things are coming together and we are feeling positive. And we are hoping to get the word province-wide, that is the goal.” For decades the Trail Horseman’s Society and Boundary Stockhorse Association maintained the trail. Over time, due to members aging and other circumstances, the members haven’t been able to regularly travel through on foot and horse to ensure pathways are clear and in good shape. Until about 10 years ago, the Dewdney Trail was used primarily by hikers and horseback riders so other than overgrown brush or fallen trees, the route remained quite pristine. But modern sport on two wheels has caused damage mainly to the steeper terrain, and areas that are deeply grooved require more than muscle – remediation entails the purchase of materials such as aggregates. Jones said the Ministry of Forests has been helpful to singular voices, but prefers to deal with an association that works together in harmony.

BC Utilities Commission decision expected in the fall

“Bringing all these people together with different backgrounds, knowledge and experience we get this collaboration of abilities and enthusiasm to get this done,” said Jones. “This is how we can have our input with support, materials, and whatever those aspects might be.” As the group awaits the official stamp of recognition as a heritage society, a work party is scheduled for next week. The dry summer conditions halted brush clearing until now, says Mann. “We didn't want to get our power saws going out there, and forestry did give us the heads up on that,” explained the lifelong back country horseman. “Now that we've had some rain we will be going out the first week of August.” The hot spell didn't keep the group sitting idle however. After receiving funding through Linda Worley, regional director for Area B, an out-ofcommission sign was pulled from storage and restored by Jones. Volunteers gathered last week to remount the eye-catching piece at the Dewdney Trail head on Highway 22 in Paterson. “Thanks so much to all the volunteers, without whom, these monumental moments in our Area B history could not be possible,” said Worley. “The Dewdney Trail, its significance and contributions to our past, is immeasurable. Throughout the last century and a half, its existence has provided the ability to access these incredible lands,” she added. “We are privileged to inhabit and entrusted us with its upkeep and wellbeing.” For information on the Dewdney Trail restoration project, contact Mann at 362.9465 or by email at richiemann11@ gmail.com. Jones can be reached at 362.9966 or at jumbuck65@ yahoo.ca. FROM PAGE 1 or by writing to the commission by Aug. 5. “Since we are regulated we have to go through a regulatory process with the BC Utilities Commission,” said Allison. “This does allow our customers and other parties to ask questions of the project and ensure there is a definite case to build this centre.” When registering with the BCUC, “interveners” are required

The restored Dewdney Trail sign is now standing at the trailhead on Highway 22 in Paterson. Thanks to funding from Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Area B, work went ahead with new footings and post for the historical sign. Pictured are Graham Jones, Allen Martin, Rob Simms, Joe Letoria and Paul Allen. The Dewdney Trail Heritage Society is planning work parties to help restore the trail. Another key member of the initiative is local historian Sam McBride, a descendent of Edgar Dewdney, the gentleman who began carving out the trail in 1860. Dewdney was said to be a giant (6’4”) in stature compared to others of his time. He was a hardy young surveyor, originally from Wales, when Colonial Governor Fredrick Seymour of Victoria hired him to continue the monumental feat. The 1865 mission was to construct a pathway for man and horse through the West Kootenay to Wild Horse Creek in the east. The pack trail served two purposes. It provided a Canadian presence in the region known to identify issues they intend to pursue and indicate the extent of their involvement in the review process. Anyone not in opposition of the project, but interested in following the proceeding can view updated regulatory documents on the BCUC website, reminds Allison. “This is to ensure that we are spending money wisely to the benefit of our customers.

to be rich in gold, and it gave prospectors a leg up on the Americans who tried to slip into the region through Washington territory and grab the precious cargo before heading back over the line. “Without the trail we could have had a whole different landscape,” said McBride. “We may not be in the same country if it were not for the Dewdney Trail,” he explained, mentioning the United States purchased Alaska and taking over B.C. would have provided a connection between the south and north land mass. “So the Dewdney Trail was a statement of sovereignty for a regulated utilities it’s up to the BC Utilities Commission to decide whether or not we are able to proceed with these kinds of projects.” The decision is expected this fall, following the procedural conference which is slated for Oct. 2 in Vancouver.

Cheese attributes similar to wine FROM PAGE 1 displays. Valiquette began working the counter and business was booming. “We always had cheese, but we just expanded it because it was selling so good,” said the store’s Danny Ferraro. “Outside of Granville Island, we probably have one of the best selections.” There are still those conservative shoppers who like their cheddar, or in Trail it’s Friulano, but then there are more adventurous palettes that are after the truffle Brie. Customers like Paul Gregory are as happy as a bird with a French fry. The Trail resident shops the cheese section daily. “I love all of it,” he laughs, admitting that his problem is growing. “I get customers like him,” said Valiquette. “But then I get an older Italian customer, and she wants three kilos of provolone, two kilos of parmessiano and then I don’t see her for two months,” he said. His favourite customer, he argues, could quite possibly be the children he can spot from afar waving their arms and yelling “Mr. Fromage” as they jet

toward him. Standing out in a crowd, getting, “Hello cheese guy,” from the chairlift, is very strange for Valiquette, who was anonymous working in the service industry in Vancouver. The wine guy helped open Gotham Steakhouse and spent many years romancing flavours table side. The Montreal native knows his wine, can read the French/ Spanish labels, but the cheese was new territory. When the opportunity presented itself, though, he researched and realized it wasn’t far off from vino. Like wine, cheese carries notes of flavour that is attributed to where it’s made. The environment plays well into this right down to how the cattle are raised. “You travel through cheese, so it’s fun to sell to people,” he said. “People’s eyes roll into their head, so that’s a good sign that the job is not very difficult.” Comté, one of his favourites, is said to carry 83 flavours that linger on the palate, with the main being a balance of brown-butter and roasted-nut

aromas. It’s a story like this one that has customers salivating at the counter, wanting more and then before leaving asking which wine to pair it with. The grocer sees the natural marriage of cheese and wine and now has a pairing wheel to further educate shoppers on their purchase. “When we choose what we do in the store, it’s all over what the customer wants,” said Ferraro. “They want a good quality cheese, and Michel is a perfect fit for us. “He knows his stuff, he researches it,” he added. “You can ask him a question about something and he’ll get the answer for you without baloney.” That passion for fine flavour and celebration of food is shared by the Ferraros and has been brought centre stage through the family grocery chain for over 50 years. Just be sure you’re not too hungry when you visit next because chances are Valiquette will take you on a flavourful journey, with a story to back the punch of flavour delivered.

Jude says his father always wanted to help people, noting CPR has saved countless lives. In the late 1950s, the doctor and two electrical engineers, William Kouwenhoven and Guy Knickerbocker, did research which led to their development of chest com-

pression in 1960. This was later combined with work by others on artificial respiration to become CPR. The Minnesota native moved to Florida in 1964 to become professor of surgery and chief of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery at the University of Miami School of Medicine and Jackson Memorial Hospital. He maintained a private practice from 1971 until 2000.

Imminent federal election to be longest and costliest in recent Canadian history Reports predict federal election campaign could start as early as Sunday

The Canadian Press OTTAWA — Stephen Harper is poised to fire the starting gun for the Oct. 19 federal election as early as Sunday. Sources say the prime minister is set to visit Gov. Gen. David Johnston within days, possibly as soon as Sunday, to formally dissolve Parliament and launch what will be the costliest and — at 11 weeks — one of the longest campaigns in Canadian history. Here are five things voters should know about Canada’s imminent 42nd general election campaign: — Elections law requires a minimum campaign of 37 days. It does not impose a maximum length. Harper is choosing to make this the longest traditional campaign in Canadian history. Only the first two election campaigns

after Confederation were longer — 81 days in 1867 and 96 days in 1872 — but in those early days voting was staggered across the country over a period of several months, necessarily extending the length of the campaigns. Since then, the longest campaign was 74 days, way back in 1926. Four of the last five campaigns were just five weeks long. — Due to legislation passed last year by the Harper government, campaign spending limits for parties and candidates will increase by 1/37th for every day longer than 37 days. Even had this campaign lasted just the minimum length, it was already on target to be the costliest in history, with spending limits of about $25 million for each party running a full slate of candidates and an average of about $100,000 for each candidate. Those limits will more than double for an 11-week campaign. That gives a tre-

mendous advantage to Harper’s Conservative party as its candidates have raised more money than any other party. — Elections Canada estimates that a five-week campaign would cost about $375 million to administer. A longer campaign will mean the agency must pay untold millions more to rent office space, furniture and equipment for returning officers in each of the country’s 338 ridings and for staff in those offices. Taxpayers will also foot the bill for much larger rebates to parties and candidates, who receive reimbursements for 50 per cent and 60 per cent, respectively, of their eligible election expenses. — The tradition of holding two televised leaders’ debates, the pivotal point of modern election campaigns, will not apply this time. The Conservatives upended that tradition last spring by announcing that Harper would not

participate in the one French and one English debate sponsored by a consortium of broadcasters. Instead, there will be a series of at least four debates sprinkled throughout the campaign and sponsored by a variety of sources, starting Aug. 6 with a debate sponsored by Maclean’s magazine. The three other debates in which the main party leaders have agreed to participate are being sponsored by the Globe and Mail and Google Canada, the Munk Debates and Quebec television network TVA. The broadcast consortium is still proposing to hold one French and one English debate in early October but Harper has refused to take part and the NDP, which has agreed in principle only, has signalled that Tom Mulcair won’t be there if the prime minister is not.

get off the ground. — Under legislation passed by the Harper government last year, voters will need to produce identification that shows where they live before being allowed to cast ballots. As well, voter information cards sent to all electors by Elections Canada will no longer be considered valid pieces of ID. Electoral experts have warned these two measures could disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters, particularly the elderly, young people and aboriginals who are least likely to have proof of address. A voter without proof of address can get another person, who is registered to vote in the same polling area and does have the proper ID, to attest to his or her address. A person can attest for only one other person.

Fruitvale annual report an opportunity for reflection

nder Provincial law every municipality is required to write an annual report on the past year. It gives us an opportunity to reflect, evaluate our progress on the strategic plan and assess issues that have arisen, projects that have been completed and of course, celebrate our accomplishments. I would like to share with you some of the Village of Fruitvale 2014 Annual Report. The past 2014 calendar year was another productive one for the Village of Fruitvale. Numerous betterments were completed and some of our key accomplishments were; • Pre-design for the Sewage Treatment Plant upgrades • A joint project with FortisBC allowed for the installation of more efficient lighting along Columbia Gardens Road • A micro-paving pilot project was carried out along Columbia Gardens Road • D r a i n a g e enhancements to Mackay Lane were completed • A partner-

ship with the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure allowed the Village to complete intersection and drainage improvements at Columbia Gardens Road and Highway 3B (Main Street). We continue to partner with the Beaver Valley Recreation Service to fund the Seniors’ Coordinator for the Age Friendly program, which benefits seniors in Fruitvale and throughout the entire Beaver Valley. Columbia Basin Trust supported the BV Youth Club again in 2014 and the program gained significant momentum with the appointment of a new Youth Coordinator. The 2014 year was not without its challenges though. The BV Recreation Committee made a decision not to renew the expired recreation agreement with the City of Trail. The decision created much concern and controversy. Although not perfect, a successful reimbursement program was created to minimize the impact on our commun-

This issue continues to be a major focus for Council along with our Beaver Valley Recreation Service partners in Montrose and RDKB Area A. The Trail Residency Program (TRP) and several other regional issues appeared to dampen relationships between local governments in 2014. Fortunately, it also resulted in a renewed focus by many area politicians and residents to work toward solutions that benefit all stakeholders. “Regional collabora-

tion” was the major position taken during the 2014 election campaigns throughout our region. By working together, partners can develop a solution that doesn’t’t require either partner to sacrifice unduly. A partnership that is one-sided is not a true partnership. Two very good examples of collaboration were the Beaver Valley Amalgamation Study (Montrose, Fruitvale & RDKB Electoral Area A) and the Liquid Waste Management Plan. Substantial efforts were put into researching these possibilities and the likely effects, costs, benefits or disadvantages for both villages and for Area A. Through this collaboration with our local government partners in the Beaver Valley, it was determined that amalgamation would have significant negative financial impacts for Area A, with minor taxation benefits for Fruitvale and Montrose. Together, we agreed not to pursue this initiative. With the RDKB Liquid Waste Management Plan,

it was determined that moving forward would have negative impacts for the Village of Fruitvale, therefore the collaboration did not lead to a joint outcome. Fruitvale Council is committed to collaborating and participating in partnering projects when the benefits are evident to our citizens as well as our neighbours. Regional collaboration must not become the new catchphrase, it must represent meaningful actions. Collaboration is about shared goals, joint effort and ownership. The end result is not mine or yours, it is ours! Patricia Cecchini is the Mayor of Fruitvale. Community Comment is an opportunity for elected officials from our local municipalities to update citizens in the region on the events, plans and progress in their respective communities. Every Friday, the Trail Times will present, on a rotating basis, a submission from councils, school trustees or regional district directors.

The Associated Press Move over: The world’s population is expected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050, a new United Nations report says. And there should be 11.2 billion people on Earth by the end of this century. Meanwhile, India’s population is set to pass China’s in size around 2022, according to the report released Wednesday. The population estimates play a huge role as the international community tries to figure out how to slow the danger of global warming, while pursuing the ambitious goals of eliminating both poverty and hunger. The current world population is 7.3 billion. China and

India each have more than one billion people. “While the global projections should not be cause for alarm, we must recognize that the concentration of population growth in the poorest countries presents a distinct set of challenges, making it more difficult to eradicate poverty and inequality, to combat hunger and malnutrition, and to expand educational enrolment and health systems,” John Wilmoth, director of the population division of the U.N. Department of Economic and Social Affairs, said in an email. Nine countries are expected to make up half of the world’s population growth between now and 2050: India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Congo, Ethiopia,

Tanzania, the U.S., Indonesia and Ghana. The report says that by 2050 or so, Nigeria will pass the U.S. to have the world’s third-largest population, behind India and China. Africa has the world’s highest rate of population growth. Global aging is also noted. The report says the number of people age 60 and above should more than double by 2050. The report says Europe will lead the way, with more than 34 per centof people there expected to be over 60 years old by 2050. The U.N. report updates previous population estimates with new data from national censuses in 2010 as well as recent health and demographic surveys.

phorically blind by failing to remember the real foundations upon which our free and safe societies were built. “Over these seventy years, we, as a society, have been given the opportunity to pass on that freedom and change history forever. We have been given the opportunity to open our eyes, and look back. To look back at the atrocities committed by occupying forces, but also at our own wrong-doing. At our pain, but also at the pain of the people of the aggressors. Although difficult, it’s not impossible. More than anything else, it requires time. Peace time. Time we will not have if we engage in new wars, of any kind, anywhere.” In expressing his hope for seventy more years of peace Groesbeek’s Mayor warned about taking for granted the sacrifices it took to build the strong foundations of today’s society. This is especially important in the face of economic uncertainties and the anti-social behavior taking hold in many urban areas. The danger lies, “In closing our eyes to patterns repeating themselves. Patterns of us against them, putting our own people first, closing borders to foreigners,” declared the Mayor. “If we are ignorant to the signals from within our community, we will surely go metaphorically blind.” These were two powerful speeches by those whose families lived through the horror of war; a strong message for all of us in these turbulent times.

Trail & District Churches “My Grace is Sufficient for You” We’ve all spent time before the Lord in prayer asking that He may be so gracious as to take some form of suffering away from us or that He may find a way to correct a particular shortcoming or instill a specific gift, often claiming to be unfit for ministry until He does so. Many have shared in the same prayer. Moses tried to reject the call to leadership in a variety of different ways, settling on the fact that he stuttered. Isaiah was quick to point out that he was a man of unclean lips and Jeremiah insisted that he was too young, a mere boy. Simon Peter fell at Jesus’ feet and begged him “go away from me, for I am a sinful man”. St. Paul appealed three times that the Lord take a particular affliction away from him. In all these cases, and in many others, the one who asked received a similar answer. “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Cor. 12:9). It is not that the Lord does not provide us with the gifts we need. Many are the passages that support God’s providence. But no matter how gifted we are, no matter how suitably prepared we may be, our giftedness will never be sufficient. In times of struggle, in times of suffering and in doubt, no matter what the circumstances, God calls us to trust in His presence. “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Cor. 12:9). “The Lord be with you.” For some it is a greeting, found in Paul’s writings and used in Christian liturgy. For others, it is a thoughtful reminder that the one who sends is the one walks with us, banishing fear from our hearts. It is He who assures us in our doubt; it is He who strengthens us in our weakness. Be it in the face of Pharaoh and his armies, in bringing God’s prophetic Word to a stiffnecked people or as a disciple, a parent, a child, a youth or an elder, the Lord answers us by his very presence. “Remember,” he says in Mathew’s Gospel, “I am with you always, to the end of the age (Mt. 28:20). Many and varied are the works of faith, but none greater than the act of remembering, in taking the time to acknowledge Christ, and his work, at the centre of our lives together.

It’s a modern twist on an ancient story

ecounted in the Gospel of John, the ancient story is known as “the woman caught in adultery”. Our modern day story concerns some scandalous behaviour that occurred during the Calgary Stampede. In the ancient story, some Scribes and Pharisees, accompanied by a crowd of onlookers, bring a woman “caught in the very act of adultery” to Jesus. They ask him if they should stone her. Jesus, who is in no hurry to answer, bends down and writes in the sand before he looks at the woman’s accusers and says, “Let he who is without sin louise cast the first stone.” Beginning with the elders, the crowd slowly disperses as Everyday Theology individuals slink away in embarrassed, guilty silence. Left alone with the woman, Jesus asks her, “Does no one condemn you?” to which she replies, “No.” “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more,” responds Jesus. The modern version of the story goes like this. A young woman and two male friends were cavorting in an alley when a Peeping Tom spotted them, filmed their tryst and posted the video online where it went viral. Viewed by several million people, the woman became the object of online shaming, while the men were applauded. Let’s return to John’s story. A few individuals had probably whipped up the moral outrage of some in that ancient crowd. Others may have just been along for the ride, not wanting to miss out on a good spectacle. And a spectacle it was, although not the kind they were expecting. Jesus silenced everyone, effectively asking, “Are you sinless?”. He created space for people to think about their own behaviour. With the moral compass swinging away from the woman towards their own shortcomings, people in John’s crowd had the good sense to shut up and go home. Not so for today’s online crowd. With technology providing an instant platform to condemn someone else’s bad behaviour, our crowd was neither predisposed nor inclined towards self reflection. Technology made it easy to throw stones, while allowing the group to claim the moral high road. The online crowd called its own moral credibility into question. It was, you might say, “caught in the very act” of voyeuristic tendencies, which are hardly a hallmark of integrity. In shaming, the group restricted moral conduct to the breaking of sexual taboos. They forgot that the way we treat others outside of intimacy also speaks to the content of our character. The collective moral compass is in need of repair. No one involved in this sad and sordid affair can claim the moral high road. Everyone - the threesome, the filmmaker, and those who viewed and commented - sullied themselves with their failure to respect the innate dignity of the human person. Our ancient story teaches that moral slip ups are not a cause for condemnation; they are an opportunity to tweak a wobbly moral compass and get back on track.

Humboldt penguin chick makes its debut at Calgary Zoo, part of breeding program THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY - Officials at the Calgary Zoo are celebrating the debut of a Humboldt penguin chick as part of the facility’s breeding program. Humboldt penguins are listed as vulnerable by the International Union of Conservation of Nature, so zoo officials say the hatching of the little seabird helps to safeguard the species from extinction. The chick was hatched on June 26 and has spent the first month of his life in the burrow close to his parents, Reina and Javier. Dr. Malu Celli, curator at the Calgary Zoo, says it’s the first chick for the mother pen-

guin, who is quite young. Celli says it’s a good sign that Reina has settled in well enough at the zoo to have picked a mate, built a nest, laid an egg and successfully incubated the chick. The zoo says one Humboldt egg was laid in the past but it was infertile. The chick is staying in his burrow for now, and his parents are taking turns caring for him. “They’re very protective so it took us a while to get our first glimpse of the little one,” says Celli. “They’re feeding it tons, taking turns, fifty-fifty, so dad is doing a great job, too. The chick is growing strength

to strength every day so hopefully when he H everybody will be able to see him.” Celli says it’s a significant day at the zoo. “When these kinds of births occur it assures us we are getting one step closer to helping save important species,” she says. “We haven’t had a ton of nests and a ton of eggs but it’s how it’s supposed to be. It’s a very young colony, none of them have been parents before, so it’s a learning process for them but all the right steps are there. “We have no reason to believe that we won’t continue to be successful in the future.”

Times Sports Editor

The Trail AM Ford Orioles will take a pass on the Senior Men’s B.C. Baseball championship this year, as they wrapped up their season on the weekend with a trip to Seattle and a pair of doubleheaders against the Snoqualmie Hurricanes and Northwest Honkers. Trail hosted the B.C. Senior Men’s Baseball championship last August, but will sit out this year’s event due, in part, to a shortage of available players. “We had some guys make other commitments for this weekend and with the usual few guys with work conflicts it just left us way too thin to expect to go and compete for five or six games at that level,” said player-manager Jim Maniago. “We could have gone with a real short squad but it just didn’t make sense.” The championship begins today in Kamloops, and the host Sun Devils, with Trail transplants Pat Brown and Cam Strachan on the roster, look to repeat as provincial champions. It’s the first provincial championship the AM Ford Orioles have missed in a number of years, but it’s not for lack of talent. The Orioles split their games with the Snoqualmie Hurricanes on the weekend winning 4-2 and losing 5-2, before dropping a pair of close 6-5 and 6-2 games against the Northwest Honkers in Pacific International League action. “It seems to be the sign of the times now,” said Maniago. “There are a lot of options for people to do with their summer, and baseball, even provincials, isn’t the top priority.” With the emergence of young players like Jake Lucchini, Riley Brandt, and Scott Davidson, and the return of veteran talents like pitcher Chris Kissock to the line up, the Orioles seemed poised to make a legitimate run at the title, especially after making the playoff at last year’s tournament. But injuries, work commitments, and various setbacks have tempered the Orioles success this year, making the decision to skip the tournament a difficult but necessary one. “It’s too bad, looking at our full roster and what other teams are bringing, I think we would have had a pretty good chance at winning this weekend.” Maniago has also received calls from other teams attending the tournament, looking to supplement their roster with some of Trail’s seasoned talent. “It’s not just us, I’ve had calls from four other teams looking to pick a few of us up and they have the same challenges, they just have 30 guys to begin with and we don’t have that luxury.” Eight teams will compete in this year’s Senior Men’s provincials including Kamloops, Langley Blaze, Nanaimo Coalminers, Prince George Axemen, Coquitlam Angels, Kelowna Jays, VIBI Muckers, and Victoria Mavericks. The Sun Devils won the championship last year over the Blaze in an epic 15-inning 5-4 victory, in which Brown scored the tying run in the bottom of the seventh to put the game into extra innings. Few thought it would go eight extra. The five-hour marathon ended when Adam Halland’s single over short scored MVP Luc Simpson.

XBL baseball championship

Tigers topple Pirates in thriller By Times Staff The Trail Tigers clawed their way to victory over the defending champion Trail Pirates 2-1 in an extra-inning thriller at Butler Park on Tuesday to capture the Trail XBL Senior Baseball championship. The XBL baseball playoffs went down to the wire, but in the end, the Tigers exacted a measure of revenge for the 10-1 drubbing the Pirates laid on the Tigers in last year’s final. The Tigers were the top seed heading into the playoffs having won the league by a mere half game over the Trail Expos. However, after a doubleknockout playoff run, the third-seeded Pirates would bounce the Expos 8-3 in the semifinal and move on to face the Tigers in the final. The Pirates needed to beat the

Tigers twice to repeat as champions and accomplished the first task, taking the first game 7-6 last week, and forcing the final winner-take-all match up on Tuesday. The game came down to a tense pitching duel between the Tigers’ Joel Graf and Pirates’ ace Dallas Calvin. Each team would exchange unearned runs, and the game remained tied 1-1 through seven innings. The Tigers then loaded the bases in the eighth with nobody out, but Calvin bore down and struck out the next two batters, and got the final out to fly out to centrefield to kill the rally. But in the bottom of the ninth, the Tigers would finally find a way to score. Graf came to the plate and would reach first on an error. He’d steal second, and then swipe third.

With the game on the line, the Tiger batter drilled the ball down the firstbase line, but the Bucs first baseman made a great grab and fired it to third in an attempt to catch the runner off the base for the double play. The ball bounced by the third baseman, and Graf would score the winning run. “Both guys were unreal,” said Pirates fielder Scott Calvin. “No walks at all in the game between them.” Graf and Calvin both went the distance, allowing just four hits while striking out 14 batters each, with all the runs unearned. The game wrapped up a successful season that saw six teams, including the Trail AA Orioles and Grand Forks Blues, compete in the XBL Senior league and play over 130 games at Butler Park.

The benefits of Junior A hockey more than academic

very once in a while comes along something that puts the lie, at least in part, to the idea that, “Smart hockey player is an oxymoron.” Trail’s Travis St. Denis is, once again, one of those exemplars. He is at once a very smart player on the ice, and to judge by his third straight East Coast Athletic Conference All Academic award, (essentially an honour roll membership at the university level) none too shabby in the classroom - in the conference that includes all the touted Ivy League schools. There are 37 other BCHL graduates on that ECAC list, five of whom are NHL draft picks, which should go

a bit of a way toward convincing parents that Junior A play is a very viable option over the meat grinder that is the CHL - for their talented kids. NCAA players are a growing segment of NHL draft lists, and completion of a degree will not compromise a player taking elite talent into the pros (see Schultz, Justin and Dekeyser, Danny) while opening up a

host of opportunities for the educated that are unavailable to the almost dropouts that inhabit major junior rosters. I say, “almost,” because after decades of fighting it, the CHL finally offers posthockey funding for college. That promised funding, unfortunately, comes with a big, “But.” The limitations on players accessing that CHL education funding mean that many of the 90 per cent of its players who do not get high on NHL draft boards with their junior play are severely proscribed in their options (as they are while living away from home during their secondary school age years working at a poorly paid full-time hockey job). If they want to postpone

attending post secondary education - to keep working on their hockey dreams, travel the world or whatever - the delay that causes in their pursuit of an education can see that promised funding, wholly or partially, dry up. Seems like a thoughtful parent should consider all that before committing their elite-athlete youngsters to the CHL grind over the more young, athlete-friendly Junior A option, but many, apparently, do not. There have been, over the years, more than a few local examples of the major-junior-or-bust attitude that have turned out poorly for the kids involved. It’s a reason why I am a big supporter of Junior A, and maintaining the Smoke

Price is right for Blue Jays

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - When the Detroit Tigers made David Price available, the Toronto Blue Jays jumped at the opportunity to trade for the ace pitcher. The Blue Jays acquired Price from the Tigers on Thursday for left-handed pitching prospects Daniel Norris, Matt Boyd and Jairo Labourt. Price, who is set to become a free agent at the end of this season, is an all-star and won the American League Cy Young Award as the top pitcher in 2012. That made him well worth the risk to general manager Alex Anthopoulos. “That doesn’t mean you walk away from him,” Anthopoulos said at a news conference at Rogers Centre. “The opportunity to get a No. 1 starter we haven’t had a true No. 1 since Roy Halladay was here.” Price is a bona fide No. 1 starter at the top of a rotation that includes R.A. Dickey, Drew Hutchison, Mark Buehrle and Marco Estrada. His addition comes in the same week Toronto traded for shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and reliever LaTroy Hawkins. The 29-year-old Price is 9-4 this season with a 2.53 earned-run average. In his major-league career, he’s 95-55 with a 3.13 ERA and 1,285 strikeouts in 1,367 1/3 innings. Price will command a hefty salary this offseason. He’s making US$19.75 million in the final year of his contract. Anthopoulos said was not yet dwelling on the possibility of re-signing Price, which could be a difficult task. “I think every team in baseball would love to have this guy on their team long term,” he said. “We’ve just got to get in the line.” Evergreen Sports and Physical Therapy is pleased to announce the addition of

to the staff. Andrew will be starting on July 31st. Andrew has been working in the Okanogan as a massage therapist and kinesiologist. To book a massage therapy or physiotherapy appointment, please call 250-388-8862 or email us at evergreenpt@shaw.ca. Evergreenphysio.org

Price is on rotation to start Sunday, and could start for Toronto at home against the Kansas City Royals. Anthopoulos also left open the possibility of Price starting Monday against the Minnesota Twins. By getting Tulowitzki, Hawkins and now Price, Anthopoulos took major swings at trying to end the Blue Jays’ long playoff drought. Toronto is two games back of Minnesota, which holds second AL wild-card spot. This is the second straight year Price has been traded at the deadline. The Tigers gave up outfielder Austin Jackson, infielder Willy Adames and starter Drew Smyly last year as part of a three-team deal to get Price.

Cranbrook Townsman

Drought conditions are set to continue, with warm weather returning this week for the East Kootenay. While Cranbrook and area received 6.6 mm of rain over the weekend, which has made conditions better, the precipitation numbers are far below normal. Matt MacDonald, Environment Canada meteorologist, said that compared to some parts of the province, the East Kootenay isn’t in too bad of shape. So far this month, the airport in Cranbrook has reported 27 mm of precipitation, compared to the normal of 38.3. “So you aren’t fairing too bad,” MacDonald said. “Droughts are the kind of that kind of develops over the period of several months and not just a few weeks of dry weather.” He noted that May and June were both below the normal as well. This year there was 46 mm of rain in June, compared to the normal of 62 mm. In May, there was 25 mm of rain, compared to

the normal of 44 mm. “If we tally up the last three months worth of rains, Cranbrook has reported 97 mm,” he said. “Over that three-month period, the normal is 44 mm. So we’re still sitting at about 67 per cent of normal over the last three months.” MacDonald noted that it is certainly quite dry out. The drought levels are determined by the River Forecast Centre. The East Kootenay region is sitting at Level 2 - Dry, out of four levels. “It’s been drier for the entire

southern half of the province,” he said. “The Kootenays — it’s dry, but it could be worse, I would say.” MacDonald said there are a number of factors that are causing the drought. One of them is the sea surface temperature off the coast of B.C. The system has been nicknamed the Blob by climatologists. It is a 1,000 km by 1,000 km — and 100 metres deep — mass of warm water which is three to four degrees warmer than normal. “Because all of our weather

Drought conditions persist in East Kootenay region comes in from the west, this warmer than normal water is acting to warm the air masses as they come on land,” he said. “So that’s producing higher than normal temperatures, but it is also modifying the overall pressure patterns, so we’ve seen higher pressure throughout the summer and even from the past spring.” That higher pressure area is deflecting much of the incoming moisture further north or south. He said that has made getting moisture more difficult in the south end of the province.

Is it too much to ask that this day belong to me? How do I keep peace with my daughter and make this the day that we have dreamed of without constant conflict with her mother-in-law? -Once in My Life Dear Once: These days, the bride’s family doesn’t get to control every aspect of the wedding. Grooms also get a say. And many families split the costs right down the middle, giving each an equal voice in the planning. This day does not belong to you. Your daughter is the one who decides how to handle her future mother-in-

child, holidays at each other’s homes, even family vacations. We recognized that jealousy and hate only destroy one’s self, and that harmony brings peace and contentment to the soul. It’s a wonderful feeling to have such a treasured friend. -Truly Grateful Friend Dear Grateful: We love

It may not be the wedding you dreamed of, but it could ease the way for your daughter to have the marriage she wants and a better relationship with her in-laws. Isn’t that what counts? Dear Annie: Recently a reader complained that you never write about the good stories. Here’s one I hope you will share. I want to publicly thank my husband’s ex-wife for being a dear and special person. For the first 10 years of my marriage, I experienced the animosity that many ex-wives inflict on the new wife (and vice versa). Then I extended an olive branch, and we both put away our resentful and angry feelings and found out we had a lot in common, in addition to the man we both had married. We “grew up,” and our relationship flourished over the next 15 years as we shared birthdays, graduations, marriage, a grand-

Dear Annie: Our daughter recently became engaged and we couldn’t be happier. She is our only child and is marrying a great guy. While we are excited about all of the planning for the big event, it appears that the groom’s mother, “Dolores,” is trying to take control. For nearly every detail that my daughter and I agree upon, Dolores steps in and wants to make changes. While I appreciate her enthusiasm, is this the way that things are supposed to be? She is putting my daughter in the middle and making the situation terribly uncomfortable, especially since the groom is in the military and the wedding won’t take place for another 18 months. I’m not sure how long this can go on before we have words. My husband and I have given the bridal couple what we considered to be a generous budget, but Dolores keeps offering to pay for any additional expenses so she can make it be the day she wants.

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, Aug. 1, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Conversations about vacations, the arts, sports events and caring for children can go one of two ways today: You might pull in your reins and decide to be frugal, or you might throw caution to the wind and go overboard. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Two members of your family (probably male and female, but not necessarily) are at odds about a decision regarding home, family or a real-estate transaction. One person is against it; the other is for it. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Travel plans or something to do with further training and education look appealing! Nevertheless, your responsibilities at work might dash your hopes. (Sigh.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today is a day where the power of positive thinking

is evident. If you let worries overtake you, your options will diminish. Ah yes, it was ever thus. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a tricky day. You might not know what to do, because someone at work is encouraging you, whereas someone at home is discouraging you. You are caught in the middle. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your efforts to enjoy yourself today and have a good time might be clouded by some kind of worry. Try not to let worry rob you off your fun. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your hopes to enjoy a social situation, sports event, vacation or fun activity with children might be hampered by financial limitations. Just cope as best you can. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today you are walking a tightrope balance between

hope and fear. You want to do something, and yet you’re hesitant. Is there, perhaps, a middle road? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Someone behind the scenes might try to discourage you from optimistic travel plans. You want to go; he or she doesn’t like the idea. Grrr. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Someone older or more experienced might be criti-

cal of your generous impulses or your choice to share something. Just do what you can, because generosity is a good thing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) On the whole, relations with others are positive today. Nevertheless, a boss or parent might be challenging to deal with. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) If you trust your posi-

tive instincts at work today, things will go well. Avoid controversial subjects, like politics and religion. YOU BORN TODAY You are a crusader on your own personal mission. You want to teach others. You have a great sense of humor, and you’re stoic. Good news! This is a year of accumulation and perhaps one of the most powerful years of your life. You will reap what you have sown, because it’s a

The Canadian Press CRANBROOK — If you are looking for a heritage property with lots of character, the City of Cranbrook may have the listing for you — as long as you’re in the market for a fire hall. Councillors in the southeastern B.C., city, set the price for Fire Hall No. 1, a two-storey, 640-square-metre brick building built in 1929. Council hopes to fetch $349,000 for the hall, which comes with three large truck bays, a smaller adjoining garage and a separate side entrance, but no word on a fire pole. The fire department moved out last year and the decision to sell came after the city rejected a local arts group’s request for $50,000 to make the building its new home. Prospective buyers will have to take the fire hall “as is,” and must satisfy council requirements for renovation and purpose, but the city is promising various tax breaks in return. Cranbrook stands to earn a hefty profit if it nets the asking price for the old hall, which was built 86-years ago at a cost of $12,144.
