Trail, Beaver Valley sign one-year recreation deal BY TIMES STAFF A collective sigh of relief rolled over the region Friday when the City of Trail and Beaver Valley (Fruitvale, Montrose and Area ‘A’) finally announced a recreation agreement – albeit only for one year. The deal, which takes effect on Sept. 1, will see Beaver Valley contribute $125,000 for the term which will allow their residents to use Trail Parks and Recreation facilities and participate in its services and programs at the Trail resident fee. “We are absolutely delighted to have reached a recreation agreement with Beaver Valley,” said Trail Mayor Mike Martin in a press release issued by the City of Trail. “This is a giant step for community collaboration and sets a new tone for future conversations,” added Ali Grieve, Chair of Beaver Valley Recreation
Committee (BV Rec), in the release. “We are especially pleased that an agreement has been achieved prior to the start of fall recreation programming.” Grieve told the Trail Times on Friday that BV Rec opted for a one-year deal because of the proposed boundary expansion discussions. “We’re taking a cautious approach because the boundary expansion is such an unknown.” Fruitvale Mayor Patricia Cecchini added the agreement is a good sign of communities working together. “I’m hoping additional collaboration efforts will follow.” BV Rec withdrew from City of Trail recreation at the end of 2013 to launch its own recreation payment system. “We did have a very successful reimbursement program in place but it was still difficult for some folks to put the
money out front,” admitted Grieve. “This will make things much simpler for our residents and for all staff.” Montrose Mayor Joe Danchuk agreed. “In Montrose it’ll be great for us. This will take away barriers,” he said, adding recreation should be accessible to everyone. “It will make Trail facilities accessible for our seniors and our young families. And hopefully we can build on this for more collaboration.” The negotiating committees involved in the discussions included Trail representatives Mayor Martin, Coun. Kevin Jolly and Coun. Sandy Santori, and the BV Rec, composed of Mayor Cecchini (Fruitvale), Mayor Danchuk (Montrose) and Grieve (Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Area ‘A’ Director). “It will reestablish the relationship that will provide the residents of the Beaver Valley unrestricted access to the

Trail Recreation facilities,” added Martin in the press release. “Although we were pursuing a longerterm agreement at a higher level of financial participation, we fully understood and appreciated the concerns expressed by the BV Rec negotiating team. “The one-year term provides the opportunity to build a strong working relationship to effectively deal with other matters and allow for consideration of a longer-term agreement in 2016. We would like to compliment and thank the BV Rec negotiating team for their openness and willingness to engage in an effective dialogue that led to this significant milestone. “We are most encouraged to now have agreements with both Warfield and Beaver Valley and we will continue to work with the communities of Rossland and Area ‘B’ to establish mutually acceptable agreements.”

BC Assessment enlists company to take photos of Trail, Rossland properties White van will be touring neighbourhoods starting this week By Valerie Rossi Times Staff
Instead of appraisers moving house to house to inspect and photograph properties from the street, BC Assessment has contracted a private company to do the work, using technology to streamline its efforts.
Tyler Technologies will be traveling through the Kootenay region next month in a white van identified with decals. Using digital cameras mounted inside the van, the crew will update property assessment photos for about 3,315 single family homes in Trail and nearly 1,820 in Rossland.
“As the Crown corporation responsible for accurately valuing all properties in B.C. and continually serving as a leading source of the province’s property information, we are always looking for innovative ways to provide more timely, accurate, equitable and fair assessments to all property owners,” Rod Ravenstein, deputy assessor for the Kootenay Columbia region, noted in a news release. Tyler Technologies will only capture the property from the front, including the street address, and will discard any details that may relate to the identity of the homeowner. The visuals are used by BC Assessment in its daily business. “The assessment rolls prepared by BC Assessment are used by local governments when preparing and calculating the annual property tax invoices for all properties within each jurisdiction (applicable tax rate x property assessment value = property tax owing),” explained Michelle McIsaac, Trail corporate administrator.

July weather
Month proves hotter and dryer The Nelson Star The regionreceived only half as much rain last month as normal, while the average temperature was 2.5 degrees warmer than a typical July. However, the only record temperature was set on the July 3 when it reached 38.8 C, according to a monthly roundup of statistics from the Southeast Fire Centre’s weather office. That was also the hottest temperature of the month. “As was the case the past two months an upper ridge of high pressure dominated during July,” said forecaster Ron Lakeman. “The resulting conditions were notably warmer and drier than normal.” The average daily high was 31.1. Lakeman said several weak disturbances clipped the area with frequent thunderstorms and minor amounts of rain. The only significant rainfall (16.3 mm) occurred with the slow passage of a more substantial Pacific system during the weekend of July 25-26. In all, 23.9 mm of rain was recorded, compared to the typical 48.1 mm. The record high is 143.2 mm in 1998 and the record low was in 1985 when it barely rained at all. Temperature-wise, Lakeman said last month was “amazingly similar” to July 2014. Both months exhibited the same high, low, and average temperatures, and both were drier than normal, although last year was the drier of the two with only 23 per cent of the normal amount of rain. The lowest temperature last month was 7.3 C on July 28

Rossland
Museum, range get federal grant By Chelsea Novak Rossland News
Thursday morning, Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks, BC Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko, and Rossland Mayor Kathy Moore were on hand at the Rossland Museum and Discovery Centre to announce that the museum and the Friends of the Rossland Range are both recipients of Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program grants. The Rossland Museum will receive $175,000 towards phase one of its renewal project, which includes remodeling the entrance gallery, and installing a new exhibit space. The Friends of the Rossland Range will receive $85,000 to upgrade the Rossland Range Recreation Site. This project includes dismantling unauthorized structures, installing signs, upgrading trails, and restoring the Old Glory forest outlook station. The Canada 150 program was introduced by the federal government to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary by investing in infrastructure “projects that celebrate our shared heritage, create jobs, and improve the quality of life for Canadians.” Libby Martin, president of

the museum’s board, explained that the renewal project is the result of an advisory board that formed in 2012, after the mining tour closed down. She said it’s been a long road, but now that they’ve received the grant, the beginning of phase one is within reach. “With this grant, and the subsequent CBT commitment, [and] some of our recent fundraising efforts, we’ve secured at least $355,000 toward our total phase one project budget of $400,000,” she said. Kim Deane, chair of Friends of the Rossland Range, thanked the federal government for the grant, and also for those who’ve supported the site over the years. “We think this is a great fit for Canada’s 150th birthday celebration,” he said. “It really is a genuine, authentic Canadian wilderness experience that we’re going to establish there and secure for the longterm.” Wilks congratulated both groups for putting together great applications. Atamanenko made a surprise appearance at the announcement, with a few friendly remarks for Wilks. “David and I, we collaborate
on a number of issues,” said Atamanenko. “If you’ve ever watched in the house you’ve probably seen that I cross the floor and sit with him sometimes, and he comes and sits with me, and we’ve worked on files such as the Castlegar airport, and others.” Atamanenko also acknowledged that though the BC Southern Interior is an opposition riding, the area still receives its “fare share of money,” and he was uncritical of the timing of the announcement. “Sometimes announcements are made before elections at times, that doesn’t matter,” he said. “The fact is the money is there. We get it because of the people on the ground, so I’m really happy for this community.” Both the City of Rossland and the Rossland Library also applied for Canada 150 grants. The City of Rossland applied for funding to restore the Miners’ Hall, and the library applied for money for its renovation, but neither organization received Canada 150 funding. “We will have other opportunities in the future to apply for more grant funding for those projects,” said Moore.

Canadian hitchBOT creators mull rebuild after beloved robot destroyed in Philly THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The friendly Canadian hitchhiking robot that met its untimely end on the hard streets of Philadelphia might be given another chance at life. HitchBOT’s co-creators say they have been overwhelmed with support and offers to revive the child-sized robot since it was destroyed early Saturday and they are considering rebuilding it. The robot was on a hitchhiking adventure in the U.S. after successful ventures in Canada and parts of Europe that saw strangers help hitchBOT travel from place to place while checking items off its bucket list. This time, hitchBOT was dismembered before it could complete its goals - which this time included taking a selfie with the Hollywood sign and seeing the house from Pixar’s “Up.” Frauke Zeller of Ryerson University and David Smith of McMaster University created

hitchBOT and kept its adventures going as a social experiment with a number of their students. Zeller said many people have reached out with offers to rebuild hitchBOT, and her team will make a decision on whether or not they will bring the robot back to life in coming days. “We were taken quite by surprise because it’s been going so well so far,” she said. “We don’t really know what to do, so we have to sit down with the whole team and really see where we are and what can be done.” She said she knows the news has been heartbreaking for many of hitchBOT’s fans, children and adults alike. Since word got out, thousands of supporters have taken to social media to express their sadness and outrage: “I am incensed. I hope the perpetrators are found and punished. Long live the good memories. Hope to see you reincarnated soon!” wrote one Twitter user.
“If I could drive, I would have personally helped you across the USA and kept you safe,” added another. Smith said the robot’s destruction is the exception to “many, many” unsupervised encounters that hitchBOT has had with strangers. During its short-lived U.S. trip, the adventurous hitchBOT attended a Red Sox game - even donning a jersey over its cylindrical body - and took a ride on a New York City subway. Smith said hitchBOT even had some good times in Philly, attending an extended family picnic at a park and being taken in by a well-known YouTuber who set the robot up for its next ride. But it was then that the innocent hitchBOT met its demise. “We’ve always asked, in the context of this project: ‘Can robots trust humans?”’ Smith said. “And, you know, we would say at this point, mostly.”
Good karma leads to lottery win
THE CANADIAN PRESS GRANDE PRAIRIE, Alta. - An Alberta couple and their adult son say karma may have played a part in their $17.3 million lottery win. Gerald, Elizabeth, and Dean Fritsma of Grande Prairie won the millions on the June 17 draw of Lotto 6-49. Elizabeth says they’ve helped so many family and friends over the years that the win must be some sort of payback. Gerald had a vision of the winning numbers, said Elizabeth. “The numbers that my husband picked were random flashes in his mind’s eye that he quickly jotted down and that’s the ones he picked,” she said.
The Fritmas don’t have any big plans for their winnings yet, but plan on investing most of the money. “We can do a few things we planned on doing, but nothing crazy or drastic life changes,” Elizabeth said. Gerald says they live a quiet life and will continue to do so. “Elizabeth came to the shop to tell me the news,” said Gerald. “I saw her walking up and just hoped it wasn’t bad news. It was some amazing news!” Both Elizabeth and Gerald are retired and she says they will “stay grounded” and take a year or so to decide what to do with the windfall.
Mr. Coffee inventor revolutionized mornings THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND - A co-founder of the iconic Mr. Coffee brand that helped revolutionize how Americans make their morning brew has died. Vincent Marotta was 91. Marotta and business partner Samuel Glazer turned Mr. Coffee into a household name after asking two engineers to create a drip brewing system like those found in
restaurants. The brand’s fortunes received a boost when Marotta persuaded retired New York Yankees star Joe DiMaggio to become the Mr. Coffee spokesman. Marotta and Glazer sold North American Systems Inc., the company they created in 1972 to manufacture and market Mr. Coffee machines, for $182 million in 1987. Glazer died in 2012.

Fifty-seven released from hospital after bus crash THE CANADIAN PRESS CHASE, B.C. - All 57 people who were rushed to hospital after a tour bus crash in British Columbia’s Interior have been released. Interior Health spokesman Karl Hardt says 56 people were released from Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops late Friday night. Twenty of those people 20 suffered minor injuries and 36 were not injured. Hardt says one person was held overnight for observation and left today. The crash happened Friday afternoon on a dangerous stretch of Highway 1 known as Hoffman’s Bluff just south of the community of Chase. RCMP say a small car travelling westbound crossed over the centre line and collided with an eastbound charter bus with 57 people on board including the driver. The man driving the car died at the scene, while the bus driver suffered serious but non life-threatening injuries.

Crews dealing with coal train derailment THE CANADIAN PRESS SPARWOOD, B.C. - A Canadian Pacific Railway freight train carrying coal has derailed near Sparwood. Eighteen cars went off the tracks in the accident at about 3:30 p.m. Friday. CP spokeswoman Salem Woodrow says there were no injuries to the crew and no public safety issues. She says the railway’s emergency protocols were immediately enacted and all safety precautions and measures are being taken as crews respond to the situation. She says all necessary resources have been deployed and the incident will receive a full investigation. Woodrow says there has been no impact to CP operations but it is not yet clear when the line will reopen.
Kelowna
Drones hamper air support for firefighting THE CANADIAN PRESS WEST KELOWNA, B.C. - Crews have been forced to halt air operations on a wildfire burning near West Kelowna due to multiple drones flying overhead. The B.C. Wildfire Service says a helicopter supporting ground crews and involved in water delivery in the Westside Road fire has now been grounded. The service says all wildfires are flight-restricted under the Canadian Air Regulations and the operation of any aircraft not related to fire suppression efforts is illegal. It says drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles, pose a significant safety risk to crews, especially when low-flying firefighting aircraft are present. The RCMP is working with the service in relation to the incident. The fire danger rating throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre is high to extreme and officials are urging everyone to use caution in the backcountry.
Long federal election campaign underway By Jeff Nagel BC LocalNews
Federal election lawn signs will soon sprout now that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has fired the starting pistol on what will be a 78-day campaign, the longest in modern history. The prime minister visited Governor General David Johnston at Rideau Hall Sunday morning to dissolve Parliament and begin the election set for Oct. 19. The voting day had been fixed in legislation and party leaders had been in campaign mode for weeks, but dropping the writ this far ahead means spending limits will be in force for much longer than the typical 36 days. That will give a financial advantage
to Harper and the Conservatives, according to SFU political scientist Patrick Smith. “They certainly have the largest war chest,” Smith said. “Money matters in politics.” He predicts the Tories will far outspend their rivals and might be in a position to blitz advertising channels late in the campaign when NDP and Liberal coffers may be nearly exhausted. A campaign more than twice the usual length means a spending limit twice as high -- more than $50 million per party -- that only the Tories have a realistic shot at fully exploiting. “They have more money than the other parties so they can
withstand a longer race.” The early writ drop means third party advertising -- such as union-funded antiTory attack ads by Engage Canada -- will now be subject to a tight $200,000 spending limit, largely clamping down on their influence. That was a key motivation for starting the campaign now rather than waiting, Smith said. “It shuts up third party advertising and at the moment they see that as problematic.” A long, financial war of attrition on the hustings could have ramifications beyond who actually wins the election. Smith currently predicts a Conservative minority. In that scen-
Ontario
Premier calls for Harper’s defeat
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Kathleen Wynne wasted no time Sunday flexing Ontario’s electoral muscle, wading into the federal election on Day 1 of the marathon campaign to call for the defeat of Stephen Harper’s Conservative government. The Liberal premier of Ontario home to more than one third of the 338 seats up for grabs on Oct. 19 said Canada needs to replace Harper with a prime minister who will work collaboratively with the provinces. “I have said for some time and I will continue to say that we really need a change,” Wynne said in a phone interview. “In this country, we need a federal government that will work with, and not against, provinces.” In particular, Wynne said Ontario needs a federal government that will “work in partnership” with
the country’s largest province. She criticized Harper for refusing to work with Ontario on development of a supplementary pension plan. “It’s really, in my opinion, pretty unprecedented and mean-spirited in a pretty big way.” She also slammed Harper, who is seeking his fourth mandate as prime minister, for funding infrastructure projects that were not on the list of priorities submitted by her province. More generally, Wynne accused Harper of being dismissive of the provinces, refusing to call first ministers’ meetings. She said he’s never bothered to discuss Senate reform with the premiers, yet is now acting in an “almost petulant” manner, refusing to fill Senate vacancies in a bid to pressure the provinces to come up with a plan to reform or abolish the discredited upper house.

ario, he says, a cashdepleted or possibly indebted opposition will be less inclined to topple a minority Tory government and force a new election. “They’re not going to likely to try to trigger an election in the first six months, so that helps stabilize a Conservative minority,” Smith said. “So people who think about the longer game will be thinking about those kinds of things.” The longest campaign in more than a century will also mean higher costs to taxpayers. Elections Canada’s costs will be higher to mobilize staff earlier. And more spending than usual by the parties would translate into a higher government subsidy back to the them for use in future campaigns. As for significant issues, Smith expects the federal push for new oil pipelines across B.C. will hurt the Conservatives in this province. But he said the slowing economy will be the dominant issue on voters’ minds in deciding which party to support.
Another month of economic contraction could make a suspected recession official by September. Smith isn’t sure that would necessarily be bad for the PM. “If the economy is bad, do we have to stay with Harper because he’s the best man to manage it or does he get the blame?” The bigger danger for Harper is that “once people start humming the change tune, it’s pretty hard to reverse it.” For the Conservatives to win even a minority, the Tories may need the anti-Harper vote split as evenly as possible between the Liberals and NDP, Smith said, with as many votes as possible bled off by the Greens. He thinks the Conservatives will struggle to hold onto their seats in B.C.and the Greens may take another seat or two from the NDP on Vancouver Island. “These things could become more significant if we end up in a minority government with different permutations and combinations.”

Election will determine what type of Canada we want
A
nd here we go. Canada has been thrown into the longest and potentially most vicious federal election in its history. Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited GovernorGeneral David Johnston to dissolve Parliament. By legislation, the vote is scheduled to occur Oct. 19. That means voters are looking at 11 weeks of campaign ads, door knocking, all-candidates meetings and leaders’ debates. There’s a lot on the line with every federal election, but this vote in particular could be a watershed. Here are a few reasons why: • The swoon of the Liberal Party. After spending close to a decade in the wilderness, the former “natural governing party” expected that it would be able to regain power as voters tired of the scandal-plagued and seemingly aloof Conservatives. That no longer seems
likely. After an initial honeymoon, leader Justin Trudeau has seen his trust and approval levels drop like a burned-out doobie, and the party’s fortunes decline with it. In short, the Liberals bear little resemblance to a party that is ready, and fit, to assume power. • The atrophy of the Conservatives. The governing party had to scratch and crawl its way into power, fighting to overcome suspicions of a “hidden agenda” and a perception of social conservatism. Harper’s calm – arguably bland – demeanour and steady hand helped assuage those concerns to the point that the party was able to climb from a minority into backto-back majority governments. Now, a number of Conservative stalwarts have announced they are not standing for re-election and Harper appears at times to be wearying of his ringmaster role. The impression is that this government is getting tired.

• The surprising rise of the NDP. Thomas Mulcair has never gotten much of a break as successor to the charismatic, and late, Jack Layton. Labelled “Angry Tom”, Mulcair has had to fight the perception that he was just another leftie with a chip on his shoulder. This year, things changed dramatically as the NDP picked up the progressive vote the Liberals were unable to hold onto. The astonishing upset victory of the provincial NDP in Alberta signalled a shift in the country’s zeitgeist – suddenly, inconceivable political change is not
only possible but perhaps even destined. So, we are going into this campaign with the Conservatives as underdogs, in spite of having several strategic advantages. It is the best-funded of the three leading parties, and best prepared to spend to the end. But, as Alberta’s PCs learned, a big budget buys you attention – not necessarily votes. For example, one might ask why did the Tories decide to burn off such a large budget with attack ads on Trudeau when it appears he’s is no longer the biggest threat? That is a costly miscalculation, although one that can be corrected over a long campaign. In fact, the NDP have managed to seize the early initiative with Mulcair already in full campaign mode. The Conservatives and Liberals both have some catching up to do. Although it is profoundly difficult to engage the majority of Canadians
in meaningful debate at election time, a long election campaign can be healthy for democracy. This election is already shaping up to be one where we will debate what kind of country the emerging generation of voters wants us to be. Will we be insular, as we have become under the Conservatives, or return to more outward-looking on the world stage, as we were in the 1960s under Lester Pearson? Will we remain environmental delinquents with no national carbon plan, or will we once again lead by example? Will we continue our shift to small government that believes laissez-faire economics is the best road to prosperity or reaffirm our commitment to the social programs that have made us an envy of the world? It’s decision time. Let the debates begin. Doug Firby is Editorin-Chief of Troy Media and National Affairs columnist.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - “Game of Thrones” fans, brace yourselves: The fantasy saga’s end is perhaps just a few years away. HBO programming chief Michael Lombardo said Thursday that the drama series’ producers are leaning toward three more seasons after the just-concluded season five. “I’m always hoping they’re going to change their minds, but I think that’s what we’re looking at right now,” Lombardo told a Television Critics Association meeting. Asked about the possibility of a prequel series, Lombardo said he believed there’s “enormous story material” to be mined for such a project. But the focus now of showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss is season six of “Game of Thrones,” he said, which is in production now for 2016. The series came under fire this year for a rape scene involving a bride’s assault by her husband on their wedding night. Lombardo, noting that the drama has included violence as a thread since it started, said the producers are careful about not overstepping boundaries while remaining true to storytelling. Voters in the TV academy weren’t swayed by the controversy, making “Game of Thrones” the most-nominated series last month. It received 24 nods for the September awards, including best drama series. Lombardo was asked if the popular character of Jon Snow, who appeared to die last season, was actually a goner. “Dead is dead is dead,” said Lombardo, adding, “Everything I’ve seen, heard and read,” Snow is dead.

THE CANADIAN PRESS LAVAL, Que. - It’s a campaign promise of a different sort: Stephen Harper says he won’t let his marathon ballot battle keep Canada out of a massive international partnership billed as the backbone of future global trade in the Pacific Rim. Talks to establish the long-promised 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership will continue and Canada will be there, Harper promised - notwithstanding the protracted 11-week election campaign triggered by the prime minister himself.
The partnership, “should it be concluded, will in our view form the fundamental trading network of the entire AsiaPacific region,” he said during a campaign stop in Laval, Que., north of Montreal. “It is important that Canada remain at the table; we will remain at the table during this election campaign ... and we will make sure that should there be a deal, we will get the best possible deal for this country.” New Zealand officials told The Canadian Press last week that the talks likely wouldn’t wait until after the campaign
- a sentiment echoed in media reports Monday by John Key, Harper’s New Zealand counterpart. Taking questions on the first full day of the campaign, Harper said negotiators would continue to defend Canadian interests, notably the country’s supply management system, which protects dairy producers. Officials say last week’s talks in Hawaii came close to reaching a deal - indeed, sources said the Conservatives were hoping to make an agreement a central feature of the party’s campaign kickoff on Sunday.

into some type of arrangement with another party, even if voters feel betrayed. Our adversarial, Westminster-style parliamentary system further exacerbates the situation. As Question Period demonstrates, MPs are encouraged to go for the jugular in their attempts to best their opponents. There is no incentive to engage in a productive debate; on the contrary, there are perverse incentives to ridicule ideas and suggestions from across the aisle. Against such a backdrop, it is difficult to imagine how parties and leaders with such predispositions will come together to govern the country. The disappointing aspect of this state of affairs is that, in the process of jousting (some of which is just theatre), the parties forget that they were elected to represent the interests of the electorate. It often seems the public interest is being sacrificed on the altar of personal ambition and partisan interest. If parties lose sight of the fact that power, though heady, is something to be exercised for the greater good, they are doing us a disservice. There is growing cynicism about politics and politicians among Canadian voters. If party leaders behave badly after the October election, it will further disillusion Canadians and turn them off. There might be short-term gain for political parties but damage to the body politic will be long-lasting. Doreen Barrie is a Political Scientist at the University of Calgary.

R-T Open set to tee off
Teen to play for two B.C. All-Star teams BY JIM BAILEY
BY TIMES STAFF The Birchbank Golf Course is getting primed for its 71st Rossland-Trail Birchbank Men’s Open this weekend. According to Birchbank Pro Dennis Bradley, the field is still open for golfers to sign up, with up to 120 competitors eligible for play at the annual event. Last year’s tournament attracted almost a full field with 112 golfers competing including former Trail native and 2013 champion Dan Dupuis. Spokane golfer Dylan Maine will look to defend his 2014 title. Maine shot an eight-under 64 on the second day of play last year to overtake Dupuis who led after the first round by carding a 2-under 70. He would go onto shoot a 70 on Sunday and win his third Rossland-Trail Birchbank title with an 8-under par, 208. The three-day event starts on Friday with a practice round going Thursday. The 54-hole championship includes prizes for gross and net scores for each flight, a seniors division for 50-plus, in addition to honey and deuce pots, K.P.s, an optional skins game, and a two-man horse race that goes Thursday night at 6 p.m. Dinner on Friday and Saturday night and one complimentary breakfast are included. The tee off time is at 8 a.m. each day of the tournament. All golfers should have a valid handicap. To register online go to Birchbank.com and download entry form or phone the Pro Shop at 6932255.

Thirteen-year-old Fruitvale baseball phenom, Allison Schroder, will represent B.C. on not one but two provincial Select baseball teams this month. The talented pitcher and shortstop was selected to both the U14 and U16 provincial All Star teams following tryouts in Vancouver in July. She will travel to Saguenay, Quebec with the U16 team to play in the U16 Canadian Baseball championship from Aug. 13-17, then hook up with the U14 Selects for the Western Canadian championship in Yorkton, Sask., Aug 21-24. “It’s exciting knowing that you are going to play against some of the best in the country,” said Schroder who left for Vancouver on Friday. Schroder will work out with both teams this week before leaving for Saguenay for the U16s. The talented athlete grew up in Fruitvale, playing Little League with the Yankees and the Trail Little League All Star team. This past summer she played for the Trail ‘A’ Orioles in Washington State American Legion Baseball League, and was on the reserve roster with the AA Orioles that went to the Washington State championship this year. The recent Fruitvale Elementary School graduate also played for the silver-medal winning U14 B.C. Select team at last year’s westerns, earning a win against Saskatchewan and a Game MVP honour for a 3-for-3 outing. The right hander has a lethal mix of two seam and four seam fastballs, a circle change, and curve ball, but says her go-to pitch is the two-seam fastball. She’ll take that arsenal to the mound for the U14 team where she says she would like nothing more than to get another chance at gold.

Walla Walla wins AA state title
BY TIMES STAFF The Walla Walla Bruins claimed the Washington State AA American Legion baseball title, in a dramatic seventh-inning come-frombehind 4-3 win over the Kenewick Dusters in Olympia, Wash. on Thursday night. The Bruins watched a 2-0 lead morph into a 3-2 deficit in the sixth inning Thursday, but the Bruins didn’t panic. “We just knew we had to get a runner into scoring position,” Bruins coach Jason Parsons told the Union Bulletin. “This was the last game of the season, and you have to take some chances. It didn’t work out for us in the sixth inning, but it did in the seventh.” Still trailing Central Washington League rival Kennewick 3-2 going to the bottom of the seventh, Walla Walla loaded the bases with one out. Mitch Lesmeister was hit by a pitch, Joe Yenney singled to left, and Josh Needham worked a walk. That brought Gus Calzaretta to the plate, and he lined a single into right field that scored Lesmesiter from third base with the tying run. See COACH, Page 11

blue jays
David Price masterful in Jays debut Scoreboard TORONTO - David Price Day had everything from rousing ovations and powering strikeouts to the thrill of danger and the offensive explosion the Toronto Blue Jays are known for. Thanks to 11 strikeouts from Price in eight strong innings, his debut was also a 5-1 victory against the Minnesota Twins that put the Blue Jays in a tie for an American League wild-card spot. “I just wanted to go out there and have fun, pitch as deep as possible into the game and keep it close for our offence,” a smiling Price said. “I’m definitely thrilled with the way today went.” Price was dominant all afternoon, especially after he gave up a home run to Torii
Hunter in the second and loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth. The ace lefthander acquired last week from the Detroit Tigers showed why the Blue Jays were willing to pay a hefty price, retiring the final 15 batters he faced. “The place was alive,” manager John Gibbons said of Price getting out of the bases-loaded jam. “That’s hard to do. I don’t care how good a pitcher you are. That’s real hard to do. But he pulled it off and really ran from there.” As he walked off the mound following his 119th pitch, Price tipped his cap to the sellout crowd of 45,766 at Rogers Centre that fixated on and adored his every move. His 11 strike-

outs tied a franchise record for a pitcher making his debut, and he allowed just three hits and two walks. “That’s what an ace does,” said second baseman Ryan Goins, who hit a solo home run. Price brushed off the strikeout record and said he would’ve rather gotten all 27 outs. But the way he dazzled the crowd contributed to the buzz on the holiday Monday in Toronto. Running off the experiences in his career from the 2008 World Series run with the Tampa Bay Rays through last year’s playoffs with the Tigers, Price put his Blue Jays debut at the top of the list. “That was the best atmosphere I’ve ever
been in,” Price said. “I’ve pitched in quite a few big games, but that atmosphere today, that takes the cake. I’ve never experienced anything like that. That was cool.” When Price was in the dugout, the lineup Josh Donaldson confidently declared the best in baseball got to Minnesota starter Ervin Santana and the bullpen to the tune of eight hits and two home runs. In addition to Goins, Donaldson hit a two-run home run, his 27th of the season, and later heard chants of “M-V-P.” “It’s not like we’ve seen it a couple times,” Gibbons said of Donaldson’s power. “He’s been doing it all year.” Edwin Encarnacion

Schroder joins the U14 and U16 BC Select teams this week for practice and team bonding. The teen is following in the base path of another Fruitvale native, Ella Matteucci, who recently won a silver medal with Team Canada with the women’s baseball team at the Pan Am Games, and will be playing at the same nationals with the BC Select women’s team. “Working with her (Allison) for the last four winters, she’s improved every year, and I knew she was capable of this, and destined for even more,” said Ashman. “The skies the limit.” Schroder and the U16 BC Select team open the tournament on Aug. 14 at 3 p.m., while Matteucci and the Women’s BC Select team opens its national championship against Ontario 2 on Aug. 13 at 3 p.m. The BC women’s team won bronze last year at the nationals with Matteucci driving in the lone run in a 1-0 victory over Quebec, while batting .522 to lead Team B.C. hitters.

Toronto has won five of six games. “This is a good time for us, and this is when you need to be playing your best baseball, anyhow, no matter who you’re playing,” Donaldson said. “I’m not saying that the games before weren’t important, but this is when you can make up some ground and see where lie in the standings.”

No movement on HB mine lawsuit
THE NELSON STAR A year after the Regional District of Central Kootenay filed a notice of claim against Teck Resources Ltd. over contamination from a tailings pond near Salmo, there has been no movement in the case — at least none either party will disclose. “Very little has happened,” said RDCK chief administrator Stuart Horn. “We are in contact with them and discussions around the issue continue but nothing of note has come out of those discussions.” Teck spokesman Chris Stannell said discussions are ongoing but declined further comment. The notice of claim, filed in BC Supreme Court in Vancouver on July 28, 2014 said the regional district wants to be reimbursed for ongoing remediation work at the old HB mine site, which it bought for landfill purposes in 1998. Teck owned the property from 1955 to 1981 and operated the mine until 1978. The regional district says the contamination consists of lead, zinc, cadmium, and arsenic and that “numerous” tailings releases occurred while the mine operated. The claim also cited a 2007 incident in which flows from the tailings pond spread to a nearby property. In 2012, heavy rain caused a sinkhole to form on the pond’s earthen dam. The regional district spent over $800,000 stabilizing and reconstructing the dam, which it billed to the province. None of the allegations have been proven in court.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - With “Downton Abbey” coming to an end, its executive producer is offering hope that a follow-up movie is at least a possibility. By ending the TV drama several years shy of the 1929 stock market crash, producer Gareth Neame said rich territory is left to be mined if a film is made. He told TV critics Saturday that it’s been discussed, but there’s no script or a firm plan. Afterward, he told The Associated Press that such a project could be made as a big-screen theatrical release but reaffirmed it was speculative at this point. “I think a ‘Downton Abbey’ movie could be a wonderful thing,” he said earlier. But it’s time for the series itself to end while it’s still popular and acclaimed, Neame said. The Television Critics Association panel discussion was bittersweet as its stars and producers looked back at the drama’s past seasons and ahead to its conclusion. “How are we going to live without it?” said Rebecca Eaton, executive producer of “Masterpiece,” the PBS showcase for “Downton Abbey.” Its sixth and final season will begin airing in September in the U.K. and in January on PBS in the United States. Neame said the last season will bring back some faces from the past, but the focus of the final season is to wrap up story lines for the main cast. The high-toned soap opera about the upstairs and downstairs occupants of a stately English mansion dealing with early 20th-century social change will end production Aug. 15. Studio scenes remain to be shot, but production at Highclere, the estate that stood in for Downton Abbey, wrapped recently. “That was a sort of interesting day,” Hugh Bonneville, who plays Lord Grantham, said of the final taping at Highclere. The cast and crew marked the occasion by taking a “team photo” in the dining room, where the longest scenes were filmed. They had a bit of a cry, which will likely be the case for the show’s fans. It was an international success and is the highest-rated PBS drama ever.

‘MI’ sequel hot, ‘Vacation’ sequel not THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - The stakes may be high for Ethan Hunt and his team in “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation,” but it was hardly impossible for the Tom Cruise pic to conquer the box office. The fifth installment in the nearly 20-year-old film series has earned $56 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Opening weekend audiences were 62 per cent male and 81 per cent over the age of 25. It’s the second-highest opening for a “Mission” film since “Mission Impossible II” took in $57.8 million over Memorial Day weekend in 2000. Rentrak’s Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian said Cruise is to credit for making these films one of the longest-running viable franchises on the market. “He created a new Tom Cruise in the minds of audiences. He came off as very approachable, funny, he did the lip synching with Jimmy Fallon. This is the playbook on how a star - who is also a producer on the movie - gets the word out about his movie,” he said. “He’s a marketing machine.” The Paramount and Skydance Productions film from writer-director Christopher McQuarrie cost a reported $150 million to produce and should have no problem making up its budget, especially with overseas earnings. Meanwhile, Warner Bros.’ ‘Vacation,’ went a bit off track. The $30 million film earned $14.9 million over the weekend and $21.2 million since opening Wednesday. Starring Ed Helms and Christina Applegate, the R-rated film was imagined as a continuation of the 1983 road trip comedy “National Lampoon’s Vacation” when a now grown Rusty Griswold (Helms) takes his family to Wally World. Critics were not kind to the raunchy comedy from first-time directors John Frances Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, and audiences as a whole didn’t seem too thrilled either. Holdovers “Ant-Man,” ”Minions,“ and ”Pixels,“ rounded out the top five. While the year-to-date box office is still up 8.3 per cent, it will be down significantly for this weekend from last year when ”Guardians of the Galaxy“ opened to a stunning $94.3 million.

Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for seven years. She has a son from a previous marriage who got into drugs as a teen. Four years ago, my wife put her son in rehab, but he had a relapse and briefly ended up in prison. The effect it had on my wife was devastating and she began to drink. My dislike for her son increased exponentially. Last year, my wife put her son in rehab again, this time in another state. He finished the program, but while there, met another addict in a halfway house for sober living and she got pregnant. They married two weeks ago, and my wife returned from the wedding exuberant and giddy. She demanded that we allow the couple to live with us so she could give her son a second chance. I told her “no.” In response, she removed her wedding ring. My wife now plans to move out of state to live with the couple and take them out of the halfway house so she can care for the baby and rekindle her relationship with her son.

Kootenay-Columbia MP admits to $32.6 million ‘mistake’ in funding announcement in July By Aaron Orlando
Revelstoke Mountaineer With files from the Cranbrook Townsman
Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks has admitted to a $32.6-million “mistake” after a Revelstoke Mountaineer investigation uncovered multimillion-dollar discrepancies in a funding announcement made in Revelstoke on July 16. That day, Wilks joined Oshawa MP Colin Carrie for a press event at the Monashee Lookout in Mount Revelstoke National Park. With local media on hand, and about a dozen other Parks Canada staff and attendees looking on, Wilks unveiled $156.6 million in funding for Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks capital projects, including bridge work, Trans-Canada Highway paving, new avalanche mitigation work, trails work and building upgrades. But residents started questioning details of the announcement. They looked at breakdowns of the projects up for funding and noted that several of them
had already started in the summer of 2014, some were significantly complete, and at least one — the $3.4 million Woolsey Creek Bridge upgrade in Mount Revelstoke park — had already finished. The Mountaineer sent an information request to Parks Canada, which responded that a total of $54.8 million worth of the projects announced were in fact from the 2014 budget, not the new infrastructure fund. The projects include a $3.3-million Trans-Canada Highway Bridge upgrade to an Illecillewaet River Bridge, a $35.2-million paving, guardrail and slope stabilization project on the TransCanada in Glacier National Park, a $12.9-million paving project in Mount Revelstoke National Park, and a $3.4-million rehabilitation project on the Woolsey Creek Bridge in Mount Revelstoke National Park. When asked about the discrepancy, Wilks acknowledged his error. “I made a mistake,” he told the Mountaineer. Wilks explained the dis-
self Put your best forward.
crepancy by saying the 2014 budget had only partly funded some of the projects, and that the remainder would come out of new infrastructure funding. Other candidates in Kootenay-Columbia weighed in on the incident Liberal candidate Don Johnston said he was troubled by the “mistake.” “We know that the Conservatives will try to spin funding announcements from the current budget that actually will not come into play until 2017 or later,” Johnston said in a press release. With a budget that was just barely balanced it’s no surprise they now have to resort to borrowing funds “from previous years just to make the announcements that are so essential to keeping their jobs.” Johnston said his main concern is for local representation. “It is very worrisome that our MP presented factually inaccurate information in a release that was obviously crafted by party headquarters. Surely, he should know
what projects have been funded previously and particularly those that have been completed. If he is too busy to join all candidate forums and talk to constituents, while using our money and financial announcements to support his campaign, then I would hope we wouldn’t be hearing about $32 million mistakes.” NDP candidate Wayne Stetski had similar thoughts. “All across the riding over the last few weeks, Mr. Wilks has been making massive funding announcements,” said Stetski. “Clearly, Mr. Wilks’ reelection strategy is dependent on big, flashy funding announcements that attempt to prove he’s doing a good job for the people of Kootenay Columbia. “In fact, he’s even stated that he’s too busy making funding announcements to make plans to attend AllCandidate debates. And now, when one of those announcements is proven to be a misrepresentation, it tells a story of a politician who has entirely lost his way.”

No federal funding for skatepark By Alex Cooper
Revelstoke Times Review
Disappointment reigns after an application for funding for a new skateboard park was turned down by the federal government. “It’s bit of a tough one to swallow because we would have been able to build next year with this money,” said Karl Jost, president of the Columbia Valley Skateboard Association. “It might just delay the project another year or two.” MP David Wilks gave the bad news in response to a question from the Review at Friday morning’s funding announcement for the Big Eddy Waterworks. He said he didn’t know why the application was denied. “It’s merit-based. It’s based on what (Western Economic Diversification Canada) decides to fund,” he said. For the CVSA the news came as a shock. They felt their application for $250,000 in funding from the government’s $150-million Canada 150 Fund stood a very strong chance of getting through. “Our application was spot on. We had a great endorsement, we’re shovel-ready,” said Jost. “We had $500,000 committed from two other funders based on getting this grant.” The other potential funders were the Columbia Basin Trust and the Resort Municipality Infrastructure Fund; Jost said they both committed to matching any federal funding. He hopes they will maintain their commitment while the CVSA pursues other grant opportunities.
