A broken water main quickly overwhelmed the drainage system along Cedar Ave., Monday night in downtown Trail. City crews got the main shut off and the water drained off the streets before area businesses suffered any damage.

Busted water main makes a mess

BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff

City of Trail crews worked through Monday night and into Tuesday to repair a water break at the intersection of Victoria Street and Bay Avenue.

A passerby contacted the city late Monday evening after water was seen bubbling up from the intersection.

The main water supply in West Trail suffered from two breaks in the pipeline and affected more than three blocks of businesses in the downtown core.

“We don’t know what caused it, it’s just that infrastructure fails over time,” said Public Works manager Larry Abenante.

“The repair wasn’t as easy as we thought, (the break) was not in one

place, it was in two places Although the exact cause “We don’t know and it involved a ‘T’ in the line of the problem is unknown, and the ‘T’ fed the water into Abenante suspects dated what caused it, the main off of Victoria onto infrastructure could have it’s just that Cedar.” been the source. infrastructure Abenante said the damage The water system falaffected one block of Cedar, a tered for at least 12 hours, fails over time.” good portion of Bay Ave and but was back in service on LARRY ABENANTE Victoria Street all the way up Tuesday afternoon.

When you’re alone and life is making you lonely you can always go, downtown.

And it is downtown where people are expected to go after the Downtown Opportunities and Action Committee (DOAC) took the wraps off of their 122-page report for revitalization of the century-old central core of the city.

It was nearly one year’s worth of meetings, input, deliberations and consultations before the plan materialized on paper, bringing together every conceivable and realistic concept, scheme and philosophy on downtown aesthetics into the Trail Downtown Plan.

The intent of the plan was to draw on the city’s historic origin and its eclectic ethnic mix to “collectively create a vibrant and harmonious downtown.” It was presented and approved Monday night in Trail city council chambers.

“I believe the vision we have here is going to benefit the citizens of Trail for a very long time to come,” said councilor Kevin Jolly, who spearheaded the DOAC since its inception until he joined council last November.

The report is intended to provide the impetus to breathe life back into the downtown through the identification of key design initiatives, formulating an attractive mixed-use, pedestrian oriented urban place with a “diverse range of specialty retail and services supported by residential uses within a 10-minute walk.”

Drawing upon the city’s deep Italian heritage, a downtown “Little Italy” corridor was envisioned as a celebration of that heritage, featuring old country character with an array of mixed use, multicultural areas linking the community to the heart of the downtown.

The downtown will be promoted as a mixed use area with commercial and office space occupying the street level, and residential and office uses utilizing upper storey space, with an Italianesque flair.

Warfield pool facing more renovations Shortage of qualified lifeguards also a common concern

BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff

Nothing lasts forever and that includes swimming pools.

The popular outdoor swimming pool in Warfield is currently undergoing several facility renovations, including a new paint job and work on the seams.

Work on the pool seams has been tentatively scheduled for today, but has already been done twice before.

The Village of Warfield hired a new contractor for the third attempt at repairing the pool seams, but preferred not to make a statement about why there’s a case of triple work

being performed on the Warfield Centennial Pool. “It was done about three years ago,� said Vince Morelli, the chief administrating officer for the Village of Warfield. “But it appears that the contractor did not do as good of a job as we thought so we’ve hired somebody else.�

The expenses of the pool seam repairs have reached close to $11,500.

But, that’s not the only problem on the waterfront.

The Rossland and Warfield pools are currently short staffed on lifeguards. “We’re currently

sharing staff,� said Morelli, “This is the first time we’ve never had enough applicants for the job.�

The village remains optimistic about hiring entry level and senior employees for the remaining positions this season. It’s possible that the village will provide additional training for employees because none of the aquatic staff currently have a pool-operating certificate to monitor pool chemistry, filter sizing and other maintenance tasks for pumps and motors. “As long as we’ve got a pool,� said Mayor Bert Crockett in a Monday night council meeting, “we should be certified.�

Morelli and Teresa

ffor You & Your Family

Mandoli have plans to attend a seminar in Cranbrook next week about writing pool policies. Morelli plans to investigate the protocol

for the pool-operating certificate to learn more about how it’s possible to certify one aquatic staff member and a recreational director.

Blasting begins

BY ARNE PETRYSHEN Rossland News

The Rossland revitalization project along Columbia Avenue hit bedrock this week during the excavation and will have to blast it away as early as Thursday.

Mark Martin, from Meka Construction Services said that the blasting is necessary.

Martin went around Rossland doing pre-blast inspections of nearby buildings, including the Rossland News office, Monday.

The pre-blast survey is a inspection of the inside and outside of buildings to document existing cracks and blemishes in siding, foundation, cement, gyproc and finishing in the building.

“The assessment

will probably be done (Wednesday),” he said.

“We’re going to work on getting it backfilled and getting it cleaned up and then we’ll go from there.”

Road closures continued Tuesday and potentially today.

Abenante said the restoration is going to take longer to repair due to the required asphalt work.

The city would establish an accepted Italian colour palette and promote development and redevelopment of the downtown through its Italian roots.

It was not deemed a downtown master plan — a tome to toss on the shelf to collect dust — but an approach to moving planning and strategy to action and implementation, identifying realistic physical planning actions for the downtown.

And that action is already happening.

The first piece of work expected to materialize will focus on a Gateway Corridor, a framework of entry features and a green streetscape to “build an urban identity to provide ‘cues’ that a visitor is entering the downtown.”

The DOAC had endorsed the gateway corridor as the key priority for 2012 and council supported that view, earmarking $100,000 out of the capital fund to the project.

“What we’re really looking at doing is creating an inviting entrance to the city that directs people not just onto that main route through town, but into the downtown,” said Jolly He expected the city to be able to leverage that amount with some “synergies” through the Ministry of Transportation that could triple the amount available for the project.

Council approved city staff moving forward to getting the information required to do the improvements to the corridor, and engaging MMM Group Limited again — the authors of the downtown plan — to put in a project proposal.

Along with other approved projects, like painting the Memorial Centre, the development will look like a much bigger venture, said Jolly.

Much of the work to

revitalize the downtown will come from the private sector, the report noted.

However, the current municipal climate does not encourage improvements, said city chief administrative officer David Perehudoff, with any new construction or improvements causing an increase in taxes.

“What we’re really looking at is creating an inviting entrance to the city that directs people not just onto that main route though town but into the downtown.”

KEVIN JOLLY

Currently, if a business owner improves their building at assessed value it would raise property taxes, thereby creating a disincentive. New legislation would give council authority to exempt new assessments for a period of time to encourage investment.

“There isn’t any sort of coercion that will take place that says ‘You have to do what is in this picture.’ We just simply put this forward as our idea,” said Jolly.

The downtown would be made more pedestrian friendly with “complete streets” — using bump outs to slow traffic down, making intersections more obvious and widening sidewalks to create more comfort elements for pedestrians.

As well, a central city plaza idea — a gathering point in the downtown — off of the Esplanade will be pursued and Perehudoff dropped the news the city was already on its way to beginning that project.

He said the city had

All Joico Aerosol Hairspray or Mousse While Supplies Last

entered into discussions with the property owner of the former Eagles Hall, and the city has an agreement to purchase that building. They will be moving forward and closing that sale at the end of June, Perehudoff predicted.

“That will provide the city with significant opportunity to deal directly with the civic plaza concept and open that whole corridor up,” said Perehudoff.

Other action items include developing and implementing a downtown farmers’ market, enhance and expand seasonal downtown events, hiring a downtown economic development coordinator, and lobbying the provincial and federal governments and other applicable programs for financial support.

The goal of the plan will be to establish annual capital expenditures as part of a staged approach to any priority identified, similar to what council did when the Esplanade and Gyro Park walkway improvement were undertaken.

Work begins “as quick as we can make it happen,” said Jolly, with the Gateway Corridor the first project off of the mark.

Council felt the gateway was the lynch pin needed to seal the deal with private enterprise in the downtown core.

“We feel that is a critical first step in getting the energy moving in the right direction and getting the buy in from the business community, putting more people on the main street in front of their business,” said Jolly.

The DOAC will continue to meet and discuss recommendations.

The report is made available for public viewing on the city’s website at http://www.trail.ca/ documents/2012-05-07_ TrailDowntownPlan.pdf.

Cowichan News Leader Pictorial

Crofton mill’s boss was slated to meet with the premier Tuesday morning in Victoria to discuss what help, if any, the province can do to help struggling Catalyst Paper survive.

A Catalyst staffer said that huddle between CEO Kevin Clarke and Premier

Christy Clark would also include North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure, plus mayors of Powell River and Port Alberni, where Catalyst also owns mills affected by the firm’s complex financial crisis.

Clarke was also slated to visit the Crofton mill Tuesday afternoon, staff said.

Catalyst is now undergoing

what’s called a SISP, or Sales and Investor Solicitation Procedures concerning prospective buyers.

Results could affect hundreds of Crofton union workers and pensioners, and millions in annual taxes Catalyst pays North Cowichan.

Don was survived by his sister Darlene, his daughters Bev Bellwood, Valerie Hughes, Karen Wills, his son Donald Wright Jr., 8 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren and many good friends.

WILLIAM HANLEY

Playwright won several Emmys THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK William Hanley, a Broadway playwright and award-winning screenwriter who scripted a pioneering TV film that dealt with incest, has died. He was 80.

His daughter, Katherine Hover, said he died at his home in Ridgefield, Conn.

Hanley’s works include “Slow Dance on the Killing Ground� and “Mrs. Dally Has a Lover� and the teleplays “The Long Way Home� and “The Kennedys of Massachusetts.�

He won Emmys for the TV movies “The Attic: The Hiding of Anne Frank� and “Something About Amelia.� “Amelia,� which first aired in 1984 on ABC, explored the largely taboo topic of parental sexual abuse. Ted Danson, then the star of hit sitcom “Cheers,� portrayed a doting, well-to-do father exposed as having had sexual relations with his teenage daughter.

Glenn Close played the mother in the critically acclaimed, top-rated program, which also won Emmys for outstanding drama special and for young Roxanne Zal, who played the abused daughter.

In addition, Hanley wrote the screenplay for the 1969 film, “The

Gypsy Moths,� as well as several novels.

WASHINGTON Three Canadian schoolgirls are in the U.S. capital region this week to compete at the worldrenowned Scripps National Spelling Bee. A year after a Canadian took second place at the famous contest, Jennifer Mong of St. John’s, N.L., Zhongtian Wang of Windsor, Ont., and Vancouver’s Mignon Tsai are among 278 competitors squaring off Wednesday night in the spelling bee’s preliminary round in National Harbor, Md. This year’s competition includes schoolkids not just from the U.S. and Canada, but from

the Bahamas, China, Ghana, Jamaica, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea. They’ll take centre stage at the waterfront conference centre to spell out words that would confound most adults.

The 2012 contest also features its youngest-ever speller - six-year-old Lori Anne Madison from Woodbridge, Va. Most spellers at the bee are between the ages of 12 and 14 years old.

The contest began Tuesday as competitors

took a computer quiz consisting of 50 words.

Scores from half of those spellings are added to onstage spelling scores during Wednesday’s preliminary rounds; those total tallies determine who moves on to Thursday’s semi-final round.

Canadian Laura Newcombe, now 13, came tantalizingly close to winning the contest last year in a pressurepacked final round.

The Torontonian was tripped up by the Greek word “sorites.�

Canadians have

been a strong presence at the Scripps competition for years, and have had several close calls.

Nate Gartke and Finola Hackett of Alberta were previous runners-up.

t seems everyone has advice on how Western Canada should manage its resources.

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair blames the oil sands for “Dutch disease,” the notion that high resource prices cause a hollowing out of manufacturing. It’s a largely mistaken claim, given that manufacturing in Western economies has been under pressure from more competitive emerging economies for some time.

Nevertheless, Mulcair would slow down the energy sector by adding a carbon tax (though he’ll skip the same as applied to the automotive industry).

Another New Democrat, Brian Topp, wants sovereign resource funds to invest in uneconomic projects too expensive for the private sector instead of shipping “raw unprocessed resources to Texas and to China.” Topp mentions Norway’s resource fund as an example. Of course, Alberta has its own resource fund, the Alberta Heritage Savings and Trust Fund, which he’d like to see used for such ends.

Robyn Allan, formerly the NDP-appointed head of the government-owned Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, asserts

that Canada should “keep the oil sands wealth at home,” by stopping the export of unrefined crude oil products.

That’s the left side of the spectrum. Even some conservatives think government should offer subsidies or tax credits for more athome refining. In February Alberta’s Wildrose leader, Danielle Smith, mused about making it “more attractive for the private sector to invest in locally upgrading our bitumen product.” Former Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed has urged the same.

These are all bad suggestions. For starters, some critics from the left are often the foremost critics of the energy sector. So why demand that energy companies now be given subsidies?

Topp may also be unaware that Alberta’s Heritage Fund was once used to support uneconomic projects. The result was a costly misallocation of money belonging to Albertans. Back in the 1980s (and started under then-Premier Lougheed), the Heritage Fund and government itself began to loan and guarantee loans to all sorts of risky business ventures, all in the name of diversification and job cre-

ation. When many companies went belly up by the early 1990s, Alberta lost $2.3 billion in financial fiascos on everything from high-tech start-ups to meatpacking plants. No government should repeat that corporate welfare boondoogle.

It makes no sense to offer incentives to resourcebased companies, whether in energy, forestry or mining to refine more of their products in Canada. That bad idea is akin to stuffing one’s retirement account only with shares from the company for whom one works. In a down market, such a person can lose their job and their investments (think Nortel). Similarly, provinces shouldn’t become more reliant on one sector by subsidizing even more involvement in it.

Lastly, and what is most

disconcerting about the “subsidize-big-oil-for-more‘Canadian’ jobs” rhetoric, is how provincial and antiforeigner it is.

Alberta and Saskatchewan have two of the lowest unemployment rates in North America. In contrast, plenty of people in Asia are in need of work or better and higher-paying jobs. The same holds true in the United States, where the official unemployment rate is 8.1 per cent but is much worse if you count those who dropped out of the labour force. (In comparison, Canada’s rate is 7.3 per cent).

It borders on xenophobic to demand tax-subsidized jobs be produced in this or that province, or in this or that country. Besides, open borders and non-politically managed trade already massively benefit Canada.

That changes the moment politicians decide who can or cannot import or export certain products.

Instead of this narrow, protectionist and, frankly, selfish approach, here’s an idea: Western Canada, and indeed all of the country, already benefit tremendously from natural resources with direct jobs in the West and indirect manufacturing

jobs elsewhere in Canada.

Governments also reap tax revenues either directly or indirectly (through federal transfers).

These benefits are bound to grow as bitumen production from the oil sands increases and raw and upgraded bitumen is shipped from Alberta to oil refineries in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and overseas. If some of those refineries are in able to export refined petroleum products, that would, of course, bring additional benefits. But whether and to what extent this occurs should be left to market conditions.

Albertans shouldn’t begrudge those in other provinces which benefit from secondary uses of “Alberta’s” oil; nor should Canadians in general carp if those in other countries also gain some benefit from Canada’s resources – any more than citizens of other countries should complain about American or Chinese corporations which employ “foreigners,” i.e., Canadians.

Everyone should cheer up.

Open borders and open minds benefit everyone.

Trustees are brave for taking a stand Rose doesn’t like this sort of behaviour. In her words these people “have a mandate; one which they accepted when they were elected.� It’s true – their orders are clear: they are to take the shrinking pots of money they’re given and run a balanced budget.

Instead they decided they could not in good conscience continue to cut, knowing full well it could mean their jobs.

See, I would take that as an act of bravery.

Single plates would save money British Columbia could save millions if they went to a single license plate for vehicles. Several other provinces have gone to this system and seem to be doing ok with it. The money saved could be put towards repairing roads. Some of the savings would be in labor, paint and shipping etc.

The government has cuts in everything else schools, health and everything else. Just think of the savings if they all did it.

Kenneth Okerlund Trail

Surely even Rose would agree with me that if the cuts are too drastic the Trustees need to stand up and say they can’t properly educate their kids with what they’ve been given.

To take an extreme example, if Cowichan had their budget cut down to 10%, surely it would be the Board’s duty not to just follow orders and start slashing.

The principle is clear: if the cuts are bad enough the Board has a duty to risk its employment to say enough is enough.

The only argument is over when the cuts are bad enough.

And I don’t think any of us here knows Cowichan well enough to judge their decision.

All I know is that I respect people that make that kind of selfless call.

And if enough trustees across the province made the same kind of stand it might actually make a difference.

Don’t put a chill on political interest An editorial from the Truro Daily News They live abroad for varying reasons, but that doesn’t stop Canadian expatriates from having a keen interest in the country’s politics - and wanting to exercise their voting rights.

In what will come as a shock to a lot of people, some of those who have been out of the country for five years are barred from casting a ballot.

Two Canadians currently living in the United States have served a legal challenge to the federal government through the Ontario Supreme Court.

The basis of their claim is that the five-year rule in the Canada Elections Act is arbitrary and unreasonable.

One of those people, Gillian

Frank, 33, who works in Brooklyn, N.Y., is completing post-doctoral works in history.

He said if he could find a suitable position he would return to Canada with his family.

Jaimie Duong, 28, living in Ithaca, N.Y., said he moved only to find work but retains close ties with his native country.

He said he was shocked to find out during the last election that he was ineligible to vote because of the rule.

Although it wasn’t enforced until 2007, the law was adopted in 1993 with proponents questioning the strength of ex-pats’ ties to their homeland and how up to date they might be on Canadian issues.

As to the latter concern, the very fact that these people are passionate about their right to

vote suggests they are keeping themselves informed on domestic politics.

But in general, at a time when fewer and fewer people are turning out at the polls, should we really be putting hurdles in the way of those who do maintain a keen interest?

Former chief electoral officer Jean-Pierre Kingsley, who backs this charter challenge, notes that Canadians living abroad pay about $6 billion in income tax. They’re stakeholders.

In addition, Canada tries to attract immigrants with certain skills and credentials.

People who have taken the initiative to travel as a means to broaden opportunities are those we would hope to welcome back one day.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

So as usual, I completely disagree with everything Rose Calderon said in her Letter to the Editor (Budget sign of the Times, May 28th). But I want to focus on one thing that particularly bugs me.

The Cowichan School Board last week submitted a budget that runs a deficit, calling it a “restoration� deficit that returns what’s been relentlessly cut over the years – things like teacherlibrarian time, intensive behaviour teachers and such.

City’s funds deteriorating, warns director

BY AARON ORLANDO Revelstoke Times Review

The City of Revelstoke’s Director of Finance Graham Inglis has warned Revelstoke city council that the municipality’s financial position is not good and getting worse.

The warning comes in his annual Financial Performance Report for 2012. “The city’s net financial position continues to deteriorate,� writes

Inglis in his conclusion. “Our borrowing levels, although well within provincial limits, are about double the average of municipalities with a population between 5,000 and 10,000 but about the same as the average of all municipalities in B.C. These are certainly causes of concern and need to be monitored.�

Inglis notes the city’s accumulated surpluses – including reserve

funds – are also low compared with the averages of other municipalities the same size as Revelstoke. “This has been a consistent element of these [annual Financial Performance] reports and the city needs to do more to build reserves so that it can fund future infrastructure expenditure commitments with less reliance on borrowing,�

Inglis writes. “The city also needs

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Kingsvale-Oliver Natural Gas Pipeline Reinforcement Project Open House and Invitation to Comment FortisBC (Proponent) is proposing the Kingsvale-Oliver Natural Gas Pipeline Reinforcement Project (proposed Project).

to build surpluses as part of its ongoing financial planning process so that it is able to finance future road rebuilding and road rehabilitation programmes without resorting to borrowing,� he adds.

In the annual Financial Performance Report, the finance director is required to give his conclusion on the state of the city’s finances.

The report shows the city’s financial liabilities amounted to $24,319,890 at the end of 2010, up from $21,128,228 one year earlier.

The report also pointed out Revelstoke’s anemic accumulated surplus, which was below the average of similar communities at less than $50 million.

An exact figure was not provided. “Revelstoke was substantially less than the average of all municipalities and about half the average of municipalities with populations between 5,000 and 10,000,�

Inglis writes.

The report also flags Revelstoke’s per capita spending on protective services, such as policing and bylaw enforcement. It notes only the City of Nelson, which has its own police force, spends more than Revelstoke on policing than other similar communities in a comparison group.

The report also lists many other spending categories where the city is comparable or less than other similar municipalities.

And what about your property tax bill? Once all charges are included – city tax, school tax, hospital tax, regional district tax, utility rates and other marginal taxes – Revelstoke came in middle of the pack when compared to a group of similar communities including Quesnel, Castlegar, Golden, Merritt, Salmon Arm, Kimberley and Nelson. Revelstoke finished fifth out of this group of eight.

Revelstoke city council is scheduled to discuss the report at their next regular meeting. The report comes just two weeks after council approved their 2012 budget.

Stanley Cup finalists share plenty of similarities THE CANADIAN PRESS NEWARK, N.J. - A great goalie. Depth in front of him. The ability to win on the road. And a respected coach.

Two teams with plenty of similarities drop the puck tonight for the Stanley Cup.

“I don’t think it’s an accident that the teams that are rolling four lines and six D are still playing.”

PETER DEBOER

The sixth-seeded New Jersey Devils and eighth-seeded Los Angeles Kings face off at the Prudential Center in hockey’s finale as the New York metropolitan area swelters in 30-degree heat.

Both teams have already been forged in the cauldron of the playoffs. As lower seeds, they have not had home-ice advantage and had to get here the hard way.

Depth has been a key to both.

“I don’t think it’s an accident that the teams that are rolling four lines and 6 D (defencemen) are still playing,” Devils coach Peter DeBoer said Tuesday.

“I think if you talked to Darryl, I would bet he’d say the same thing. It’s been critical. You don’t play 20, 25 playoff games and the grind and the emotion and the battle without having depth.

You just can’t.”

Said Kings coach Darryl Sutter: “The way the schedule is and the way the travel is you don’t do it without everybody making some sort of contribution. Not just the minutes played but in performance.”

Los Angeles is a mind-boggling 8-0 in the playoffs on the road, where the home team has the last line change. New Jersey is 6-4.

Both teams rely on their goaltenders to keep the opposition honest.

New Jersey looks to career Devil Martin Brodeur, a future Hall of Famer who is still going strong at age 40.

(AP PHOTO/JULIO CORTEZ)

Los Angeles Kings’ Drew Doughty skates during practice in preparation for Wednesday’s Game 1 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup Final series against the New Jersey Devils, Tuesday in Newark, N.J.

Los Angeles has 26-year-old Jonathan Quick, who leads playoff goalies in goalsagainst average (1.54) and save percentage (.946). Brodeur’s corresponding figures are 2.04 and .923.

Away from the ice, the two could not have been more different at media day Tuesday.

A relaxed Brodeur held court with reporters, smiling and joking as he addressed all topics. The only thing missing was a fireplace and snifter of brandy.

Quick answered all questions but did so wearing a baseball cap with a hoodie pulled over it.

“Was he wearing the hoodie?” asked teammate Dustin Penner.

“He’s channelling his inner Eminem.”

Penner says Quick really does have a great sense of humour.

He just doesn’t show it to those he doesn’t know.

“He jokes around on the ice,” said Penner.

“He’s a competitive guy, so when you score on him, if you chirp him, next time you come down and don’t score on him,

he’ll let you have it.”

Pulling the strings behind the benches are two coaches who clearly have the respect of their players.

Sutter took over the Kings on Dec. 20 with his team going 25-1311 the rest of the regular season.

“He brings a passion and an intensity that I haven’t see before from a coach,” said Penner. “I’m sure a lot of them have it intrinsically but he wears his emotion, his heart on his sleeve.

“You can tell he really cares about his players. He doesn’t ask anything of his players that he doesn’t ask of himself.”

DeBoer was hired by the Devils in July 2011 after three years at the helm of the Florida Panthers.

Devils players call DeBoer’s system “smart aggressive.”

New Jersey starts its defence with relentless forechecking, which can turn into rapidfire offence thanks to the team’s speed and drive.

The puck drops for Game 1 at 5 p.m.

Halladay headed for disabled list THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Philadelphia Phillies ace Roy Halladay is expected to miss six to eight weeks because of a strained right shoulder, the latest major setback for the fivetime NL East champions.

Halladay was put on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, two days after he was hit hard and pulled from a start in St. Louis after just two

innings because of shoulder soreness.

The two-time Cy Young winner will be shut down for a minimum of three weeks, then work toward rejoining the rotation, Phillies assistant general manager Scott Proefrock said.

Proefrock said tests done in Philadelphia indicated Halladay doesn’t need surgery to recover and that the

injury doesn’t affect his rotator cuff.

“We hate to have him down, but it’s nothing that requires anything other than rest,” Proefrock said.

Halladay is 4-5 with a 3.98 ERA in 11 starts. He has pitched at least 220 innings in each of the past six seasons, and four times led the league in innings. His 72 1-3 innings this year tied

Houston’s Wandy Rodriguez for the NL lead.

Halladay has “thrown a lot of bullets over his career,” Manuel said, suggesting the 35-year-old pitcher could step back for a bit and still be dominant. The durable Halladay had not been on the DL because of shoulder trouble since 2004.

“He’s got to get well,” Manuel said.

LEISURE

Maybe doctor can talk sense into son-in-law Dear Annie: I’m a 58-year-old woman, and I’m concerned about my year-old granddaughter.

When she was merely 4 months old, my son-in-law would toss her up in the air and then catch her. Her head was completely unsupported. When she was 5 months old and the temperature outside was in the 40s and rainy, he refused to put a coat on her. When she was 6 months old, he put her on his shoulders and bounced her around the grocery instead of securing her in the car seat. When she was 11 months old, he admitted that he had tossed her on their bed so she would “bounce.”

Last Sunday, I was gently pushing her in a swing when he said, “You’re not swinging her high enough,” and proceeded to push her aggressively and to a point where I felt it was unsafe for a child her age.

My daughter has

ANNIE’S

MAILBOX

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

told me that he does things that make her heart stop. I believe he enjoys the attention and likes to upset my daughter. I consider him to be somewhat unbalanced.

Would this be considered child endangerment? I had composed a letter to her pediatrician, but friends and family urged me not to send it for fear that child protective services will be called. Yet, if I know these things and do nothing, I’m as guilty as he is. I don’t want to lose my granddaughter or my daughter. Am I overreacting?

-- Concerned Grandma Dear Grandma: Your son-in-law’s

behavior is questionable, but we don’t believe it’s enough to call CPS. The problem is, he doesn’t seem to understand the boundaries of acceptable risk.

First talk to your daughter. She should make it clear to her husband that he must be more careful. Please tell her also to discuss this with her pediatrician, and you should not hesitate to let the doctor know about your concerns.

Perhaps a professional can talk some sense into her husband before he unintentionally causes irreparable harm.

Dear Annie: My husband recently passed away. My sisters and one of my closest friends never particularly liked him, so now they are all suddenly my best friends.

The biggest problem is my friend “Fran,” who thinks she knows everything about my life and won’t allow me to make any decisions of my own. Trying to assert myself around

her is mentally exhausting. She wants to know about my budget, what I’m cooking for dinner, what I’m doing for the weekend. Every weekend.

I was a social bug until I lost my husband.

Now, not so much. I attend church, go to work and go home. I have two teenagers who miss their father terribly. I think I’m still grieving and do not want anyone’s help if it has to be so suffocating. Does that make sense at all? -- Stressing in Kansas Dear Kansas: Your response to this smothering attention is perfectly natural. You are indeed still grieving, and Fran’s oppressive concern is provoking some resentment, not least because she did not get along with your husband. Tell Fran you need her to back off for a while, and then please consider some grief counseling. Your doctor or the local hospital can refer you.

Dear Annie: I am sure “D.B. M.D, Loma Linda, Calif.” meant well to inform us how to better entice our men and put out more.

I work in a salon, and we talk about sex in detail. The women with loving husbands

who are shown respect are happy to give their men plenty of sexual activity. The men who aren’t getting the sex life they want are probably not as kind, loving, respectful or attentive to their women.

Please help men

understand that women like sex to start in the kitchen or living room, an hour before it actually happens in the bedroom. And if it does, sex will be enjoyed by both partners for longer than 12 minutes. -- W.B.

YOUR HOROSCOPE

By Francis Drake For Thursday, May 31, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. Basically, you have no choice. (Just be nice to everyone.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It will be gratifying for you to attend to little details that make you feel better organized. Make a small to-do list and get a few things done.

You’ll love yourself for doing this.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a playful, fun-loving day. Take a long lunch if you can. Do something to pamper yourself. Enjoy movies, sports or fun times with children.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Putter around your home today. Family discussions, especially with parents,

could be significant. You also might enjoy time alone, because childhood memories are bubbling up to the surface of your mind.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A busy day! Enjoy short trips, errands and talking to siblings, neighbors and relatives. You’ve got things to do, places to go, people to see!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Focus on financial matters today. You might see ways to boost your income or to make a little money on the side.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, which means you have a little bit of extra good luck.

However, you might feel more emotional about things.

Relax -- it’s no big thing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Work alone or behind the scenes today because you feel the need for privacy.

(And you certainly are a private person.) It’s a good day for research.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Discussions with a female companion could be significant today. Share your hopes for the future, because someone’s feedback will help you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You will briefly be noticed more than usual by bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and

the police. Keep this in mind if you’re thinking of doing anything foolish!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) People from different cultures or other backgrounds will intrigue you today because you’re hungry to learn something new. At the very least, go someplace you’ve never been before or visit an ethnic restaurant.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Tidy up loose ends with bills, taxes, insurance matters, wills and inheritances.

Try to get things done you’ve been putting off, so that later, you can have a warm feeling in your tummy.

YOU BORN TODAY You are frequently misunderstood because you have a cool exterior that hides your passionate intensity. You exude confidence. You’re a no-nonsense

Lot 48 is located about five kilometres south of Fairmont Hot Springs.

The native grasslands on the east side of Columbia Lake represent the
