When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore New restaurant looks to revamp the Gulch with taste of Italian culture

BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff

“I’d like to see this area blossom again,” says Greg Amantea, while gesturing toward a flurry of cars driving past a rectangular window.

But from inside the serene atmosphere of Amore’s Ristorante, it’s impossible to fixate outside on humming cars passing through the Gulch.

The dimly lit restaurant is lined with a steam of chocolate-brown chairs that have been neatly tucked up to tables draped in white cloths.

A thoughtful brunette meticulously distributes plates while silently completing her duties.

Greg and his wife, Anita, recently opened the doors of the new Italian kitchen in the Gulch.

Classical music mutes the sounds from clinking wine glasses and murmurs from clients at other tables, and the operation runs smoothly with seven people on staff.

“We opened three weeks ago and it’s been steady since we opened the doors,” Greg said. “We haven’t had a slow day yet.”

The Amantea’s previously owned the Casalingo Italian Ristorante in the same location, but a family ordeal inspired the family to temporarily close their doors.

A man was pulled from the Columbia River by Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue Saturday night after he fell in off of the Esplanade. He was found clutching onto a log near the Old Trail Bridge.

Man rescued from raging river

BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff

A man clinging to a log was rescued from the Columbia River after falling into the frigid water on Saturday night.

Captain Jason Milne from the Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue (KBRFR) said they did not know how the victim fell into the water off of the Esplanade and RCMP are “still investigating” what exactly happened.

Four KBRFR members in a rescue boat had some difficulties because of the position the man was wrapped in, said Milne, noting that he was clinging to a log in a pretty precarious situation.

“The patient was found (clutching) a log wedged between some submerged trees,” Capt. Milne said in a release.

The call came in around 8 p.m. and within minutes KBRFR had a rescue boat in the water, catching the man in the river before he made it to the Old Trail Bridge.

And barely 40 minutes later he was pulled out of the water, having sustained a rib injury and some lacerations with his tangle with the trees, and was suffering

from fatigue.

In addition, he was also starting to exhibit signs of hypothermia, said Capt. Milne.

He said they were pretty lucky the guys were already out in the truck when then they had to dispatch the boat.

Over the weekend the fire department was kept busy, he added, due to the effects of the storm that hit Greater Trail on Friday.

The man was moved to the boat launch and transferred to the B.C. ambulance service.

FROM PAGE 1 But instead of selling the storefront after a series of major renovations five years ago, the family opted to lease it to the owners of Azteca Mexican Restaurant.

And after a brief hiatus from the hospitality industry, the Amantea family made a decision to get back into business. Anita works in the kitchen with three line cooks and a dishwasher, while both of the Amantea daughters serve customers and Greg oversees the entire operation to ensure that everything is running smoothly. “There’s no business loan on the place.

It’s all personally guaranteed by us,� he

said. “And our motto is to support the local people.�

And he’s not kidding.

Everything from the kitchen is authentic to Trail. The Amantea’s shop for ingredients—ranging from pasta to baking to coffee—locally and they cook all of their recipes from scratch. “We don’t order anything in and that’s really important to us,� he emphasized.

But taking orders and managing a new business wasn’t enough for Greg, he grew up in the Gulch and wants to see the area continually be revitalized by the community.

To prove it, he worked closely with

friends and family for roughly 250 hours to paint and clean up the interior and exterior of the building. “This is an Italian community and the Italians in Trail have always taken a lot of pride in the gulch, myself included,� he explained. “I remember running up and down the streets in my younger years and it was a great time, so I’m happy to be back in the Gulch and revive it.�

Stop by and check out the developments at Amore’s Ristorante in the Gulch.

New all-news TV channel for B.C.

GRAND FORKS GAZETTE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

An 11-year-old boy is dead after a severe storm blew through the Grand Forks area Friday afternoon, with high winds knocking down power lines and trees.

The storm also hit the Pines Bible Camp, which is located approximately 10 kilometres up the North Fork Road in Grand Forks. There were about 65 kids at the camp.

A number of trees at the camp were blown over and snapped off. Two trees fell on a hut and through the roof, crushing a boy inside (The huts are built as sleep accommodation and hold four people). The youth was a resident of nearby Christina Lake.

Several of the other children received minor injuries and were examined by the B.C. Ambulance Service.

RCMP Victim Services have made arrangements for counselors to attend the church to meet with and assist the youth. Victim Services will also be providing support and assistance to the victim’s family.

The B.C. Coroner’s Service will be the lead agency in this investigation and assisted by Boundary/Grand Forks RCMP. The name of the deceased is not being released at this time pending notification of next of kin. The deceased’s name will be released at a later date.

OTTAWA - The CRTC has cleared the way for a 24-hour news channel focused on British Columbia.

S h a w Communications Inc. announced plans to launch the all-news channel earlier this year.

It will bear the Global BC brand and provide local, national and international headlines 24 hours a day.

The company’s application to the Canadian Radio-television Communications Commission faced opposition from a number of other regional broadcasters.

They were concerned about Shaw’s plan to include local advertising on the channel, which critics argued would give the new channel an unfair advantage.

The CRTC agreed, approving the channel on condition that Shaw not seek local advertising on Vancouver Island, including Victoria.

Coroner confirms identities of landslide victims THE CANADIAN PRESS JOHNSONS LANDING The B.C. Coroners Service confirmed the identities Friday of the two bodies dug out of a massive landslide that struck Johnsons Landing in southeast B.C. a week ago.

Valentine Webber, 60 and his daughter Diana, 22, were identified through

visual and dental examination.

Webber’s 17-year-old daughter Rachel and a 64-year-old German tourist named Petra Frehse are still missing. A search for their bodies was put on hold Wednesday night as experts assess the situation.

Harsh weather and the unstable debris from the

slide were causing concerns for the search and rescue teams combing through the mud in search of the missing people. The landslide roared down the mountainside and through the tiny remote community of 35 people north of Nelson on July 12 after heavy rain in the region.

Experts say it appears a

series of smaller incidents caused a chain reaction that led to the bursting of a creek and gully, which became the landslide.

Earlier this week authorities said they weren’t sure when other residents would be able to return to their homes, and asked the public to stay clear of the still dangerous slide area.

Branding builds momentum for Rossland city council

BY ARNE PETRYSHEN Rossland News

To brand or not to brand, that was the question in Rossland city council chambers last week.

Rosslander Deanne Stevens brought up the subject of a logo, or branding, for the city during the public input period during the the last regular council meeting July 16.

She said it would be great if the city wanted to work together on it, adding that the Rossland Public Library, the sustainability commission and various other Rossland institutions were on board with the project.

However, Mayor Greg Granstrom thought the city should wait before getting on board, at

least until the gateway project was closer to being ready (in six months or so).

Stevens countered that they were two different things and the logo could be implemented in a number of projects.

Councillor Kathy Wallace asked whether Tourism Rossland was looking to do a logo or an entire branding initiative.

“Branding is a big project,” she said. “I think right now Rossland suffers from a multi-personality disorder.”

This, she said, was because Rossland has to be the Golden City, the Mountain City, the home of Red Mountain Resort, and the home of Redstone Golf Course.

That makes it difficult to choose a

brand, she argued.

“If it’s just the logo, that’s different,” she noted, adding that she wouldn’t support a branding initiative at this point in time.

Councillor Kathy Moore reminded council that signage for the city had been enthusiastically endorsed by the previous council.

“We are now a resort municipality,” Moore said. “I don’t see any reason why we should wait with going forward with the branding.”

Granstrom noted that Tourism Rossland had not given any formal proposal, and asked councillor Jody Blomme, who represents the city on the Tourism Rossland board, if there would be one coming.

Blomme was unsure, but said the proposal would help Rossland.

“From a marketing perspective, it does make a lot of sense,” she said, as they could all be on the market as a single brand.

She also said that Tourism Rossland has put a lot of time and effort into the project already, and so that would be wasted by the city if they didn’t act on it.

“So are we approving a logo?” the mayor asked.

Blomme responded that the Tourism Rossland request did not have anything indicating that they were asking for city council’s support.

Moore noted that the initiative also allowed for the brand

to be used as needed, so even once implemented, the businesses could keep their old logos until they ran out and new ones were ordered.

“For their purpose, it’s a little money in the long term,” councillor Tim Thatcher said.

Councillor Cary Fisher suggested that they get Tourism Rossland to “quantify and clarify what they want.

“It doesn’t sound like anybody understands where we’re going with this,” Fisher said.

Council voted down a motion to get Tourism Rossland to come back with clear answers, then put forward another motion that said the city supports the initiative and principal behind it.

BY TAMSYN BURGMANN THE CANADIAN PRESS

NEW WESTMINSTER - Veteran RCMP officer Cpl. Benjamin (Monty) Robinson, whose involvement in Robert Dziekanski’s death and unrelated conviction in a fatal accident made him an example of the bad apples the Mounties have been unable to fire, voluntarily left the force Friday.

Robinson’s discharge papers were signed the same day the disgraced officer was in a British Columbia court for sentencing for obstructing justice following the fatal crash in 2008, said Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens.

“I received Mr. Robinson’s RCMP discharge documents and I signed them,” Callens, the force’s top commander in B.C., said. “While I have been clear that I was seeking his involuntary dismissal, the opportunity to discharge him from the organization this morning was one which eliminated further delays, costs and uncertainty.”

Robinson’s discharge means he will no longer face internal discipline within the force, including an RCMP code-of-conduct investigation, but his legal troubles could continue for some time.

The 42-year-old was convicted earlier this year of obstruction of justice after his vehicle struck and killed 21-year-old motorcyclist Orion Hutchinson in Delta, south of Vancouver. Robinson and three other Mounties are also facing perjury charges in connection with their testimony at the public inquiry into Dziekanski’s death at Vancouver’s airport, where Polish immigrant was stunned with an RCMP Taser.

Robinson told his obstruction of justice trial that immediately after the 2008 crash, he went home and drank two shots of vodka to “calm his nerves.” The officer had five beers before getting behind the wheel that night. A judge concluded he was using his RCMP training in an attempt to fend off accusations of impaired driving.

At his sentencing hearing in a New Westminster court, the Crown asked for a sentence of between three and nine months in jail or a conditional sentence of up to 18 months. Robinson’s lawyer asked for a conditional sentence of three to six months.

The maximum penalty is 10 years in prison.

“This was not simply an attempt to obstruct justice,” Crown lawyer Kris Pechet told the court.

“It was a successful attempt that effectively misled the officers conducting the investigation of Mr. Robinson, as he knew it would.”

Asked by the judge whether he wished to address the court, Robinson stood and uttered one sentence, inaudible to the gallery. After the hearing, his lawyer said Robinson told the court he was “exceedingly sorry” for Hutchinson’s death.

British tourists reel in four-metre white sturgeon

BY VIVIAN LUK THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER - Three years ago, British couple Michael and Margaret Snell travelled to the Vancouver area for a fishing trip and thought they hit the jackpot, reeling in a sturgeon that was 1.5 metres long.

But that trophy pales in comparison to the massive fish the retired couple caught in the Fraser River during a return trip this week, hauling a white sturgeon out of the water that measured nearly four metres and weighed half a tonne believed to be one of the largest fish every caught for sport in North America.

The couple, from Salisbury, England, set out onto the Fraser River from Chilliwack, east of Vancouver, on Monday.

Michael Snell, 65, said he saw his rod tip, but he struggled with his catch for nearly 45 minutes before he actually saw the fish surface.

It was 3.8 metres long.

“We just saw a tail fin come up, then a bit later we saw a middle fin, and eventually, as it got tired, we saw the head come out as well,” he said in an interview on Friday.

“We realized the sheer length of this fish - next to the boat, it’s nearly as big as the boat.”

The couple’s guide, Dean Werk, said he knew right away Snell had caught something huge.

Snell’s wife, Margaret, had to hold on to his harness to keep him from being pulled into the river. “(The fish) peeled off 200 yards of line on its first run without even a blink,” said Werk. “We had to chase it down, we had to stay close to it, and Michael was having to work the fish back up, trying to keep it near the surface.”

The couple and their guide eventually brought the white sturgeon onto the shore.

Once Werk was in the water with the fish, he noticed the animal wasn’t tagged, indicating it may never have been caught before.

Werk estimated the sturgeon was at least 100 years old, weighing roughly 500 kilograms. Based on a database kept by the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society, Werk said it could be the largest fish ever caught in the continent.

VANCOUVER - The private bids for control of B.C.’s public liquor distribution system have been narrowed down to four companies.

The shortlist was initially expected to include three companies, but the minister of labour, citizen’s services and open government, Margaret MacDiarmid, explained the point system used in the process resulted in a tie.

“It became clear that there was basically a tie for third place and the committee had a discussion back and forth and decided that it would be most fair to allow four proponents to come forward,” said MacDiarmid.

The four bidders include ContainerWorld Forwarding Services Inc., Exel Canada Ltd., Metro Supply Chain Group Inc. and Kuehne + Nagel.

MacDiarmid says the final decision on the process will be made by October. Meanwhile, BCGEU president Darryl Walker said the sale will cost the province an income source it needs to balance the budget.

NATIONAL Paleontologists take extra care at dig sites to fight vandalism

BY ROB DRINKWATER THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON - Dinosaur expert Philip Currie was on a dig in the Alberta badlands a few weeks back, camping in a tent, when he learned that yet another fossil site had been vandalized.

The heartbreaking news was in an email which his wife received when she climbed high enough on a hill to get reception on her cellphone. The message said that a Hadrosaur, which had been dis-

covered in the Pipestone Creek area near Grande Prairie in northwestern Alberta on June 15, was smashed to pieces and had been found by a crew returning to the site to carefully remove the bones.

The duck-billed dinosaur skeleton was intended to become a prized exhibit in a museum that’s being built in nearby Wembley, Alta.

But now the specimen is just another unrecoverable piece of

the Earth’s history and paleontologists are thinking twice about security at their sites. “Paleontology isn’t what you would call one of the heavily financed sciences around. In a lot of cases we’re working on a shoestring,� said Currie. “We have enough trouble getting enough money for the plaster and burlap to wrap the specimens, let alone to have to pay overtime and video surveillance and whatever else. “In other cases, where we know

Environmentalists turn to premiers in search of common cause

BY HEATHER SCOFFIELD THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA Environmentalists are giving up hope in the federal government and are now focusing on the provinces to forge a strategy that would embrace renewable energy and tackle climate change.

Several groups are heading to Halifax this week in a show of force just as the premiers meet to add heft to a pan-Canadian energy strategy at their annual get-together.

Some of the environmental groups have allied themselves with organized labour to take out advertising and lobby premiers to make sure their energy talks include discussions about climate change, emissions reductions and investment in renewable energy.

They say the conversation with Ottawa has become so polarized that it’s time to turn to the premiers instead for a productive conversation.

At the same time, Greenpeace is releasing a report this morning that probes Ottawa’s relationship with Shell Canada over the years, and concludes they are in cahoots.

But big business is setting its sights on the premiers too, with the Council of Chief Executives urging the provinces to work together to better market Canada’s energy resources, but also to make sure they do so in a way that is sustainable for the environment. “The risk moving forward is that if we continue with our national conversation, placing all our efforts in the oil basket, we risk not only serious environmental impact

but also waking up 10 years from now and realizing the world has moved on,� said Gillian McEachern, deputy campaign director for Environmental Defence Canada.

She says the environmental-labour alliance is generally supportive of Alberta Premier Alison Redford’s plan to hammer out a national energy strategy. “It’s not a bad place to start,� she said.

But the activists want to make sure Redford’s plan doesn’t focus solely on getting Alberta’s oil out of the ground and into the marketplace, and also examines the pace of expansion in the oilpatch, as well as investment in renewable energy, conservation and emissions reduction. She believes the alliance has friends in the premiers of Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.

Greenpeace is also placing its hopes in the premiers, saying Ottawa is working hand in hand with oil companies to aggressively

expand oilsands activity and build pipelines that would only make sense in a world that takes no action on climate change. “If the premiers go along with Harper’s plan, then Canada will miss out on the green energy revolution that is our best hope for a prosperous future,� said Keith Stewart, the climate campaign coordinator for Greenpeace Canada and the author of the report.

Using documents obtained through access-to-information, Stewart argues that Shell Canada and Prime Minister Stephen Harper have worked together to campaign against rules in California and Europe that could hamper the marketing of the oilsands. The federal government has not ruled out participating in a national energy strategy of some kind.

Indeed, a Conservativeled Senate committee laid out detailed recommendations for such a strategy last week.

Quebec students take to streets again

BY BENJAMIN SHINGLER THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL - Thousands of students and their supporters took to the streets of Montreal on Sunday to denounce the province’s tuition increases, sending a message they will be ready for a fight if Premier Jean Charest decides to call an election.

Protests against Quebec’s Liberal government have eased during the summer months, but students said a strong turnout during the height of the summer holidays was proof the movement hasn’t died out.

The crowd, an enthusiastic mix of students, families and seniors, winded its way through the city’s downtown on a hot and humid afternoon. “We want to make sure the momentum is still there,� Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, a spokesman for the powerful CLASSE student group, told reporters. “One could say the river has turned to a delta.

The movement is less strong, but it’s wider.�

It has been widely speculated that Premier Jean Charest may call an election Aug. 1 for a vote in early September. CLASSE, which organized the march, has promised it won’t support one particular party, but will work to make sure the Liberals don’t return to power. Other student groups are also planning an information campaign explaining

their opposition to the tuition increases. “We want to make sure everybody understands what we did during the spring time, what we continue to do, and why we are doing it,� said Yanick Gregoire, vice-president of a university student group. “We also want to make sure everybody knows what the Liberals did during their mandate.�

Michel Leblanc, 72, who has been taking part in the protests for nearly five months, said he’s hopeful the movement will have an impact at the ballot box. “We all need to vote,� said Leblanc. “Sometimes students don’t vote, and if they do it will help get out Charest.�

While some student leaders said tuition hikes remain the main point of disagreement, the movement has taken on a wide range of issues including the government’s environmental and economic policies. Many remain upset about Bill 78, the provincial law introduced in May that suspended school for striking students and put limits on some protests. The province’s human rights commission released a report last week saying portions of the law infringe on fundamental rights and violate the Quebec Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The theme of the march, according to CLASSE, was the government’s destructive “neo-liberal agenda.�

W

hat has been happening in North Korea recently is straight out of the “Hereditary Dictatorship for Dummies” handbook.

Kim Jong-un, the pudgy young heir to the leadership of one of the world’s last Communist states, is removing powerful people who were loyal to his father and replacing them with men (it’s always men) who owe their advancement only to him.

Vice-Marshal Ri Yongho, the chief of the North Korean army until late last week, was not disloyal to the new boss. On the contrary, Ri’s support was vital in ensuring a smooth transition after the death of Kim Jong-Il, the old boss, and he gave it unstintingly.

But in the end the vice-marshal didn’t owe everything to Kim Jong-un, so he had to go.

In his place, Kim Jongun has promoted a man nobody had ever heard of before. His name is Hyon Yong-chol, but you don’t have to remember it unless you really want to. The point is that Hyon will have annoyed a lot of other generals in the army because he has been promoted over their heads, and so he is

DYER

On the other hand, it is very unlikely that she would have had this stellar career if she had grown up as the daughter of an army sergeant on a succession of bleak army posts. Growing up in the presidential palace, and serving as South Korea’s first lady for five years while still in her early 20s, after her mother was assassinated in 1974, was bound to produce a different outcome. It also helps with the name recognition that every politician needs.

If elected, Park Geunhye may be a very successful president. She may have the determination and the clout to take on the big industries that dominate South Korean society and deliver more security and social justice to those at the bottom. She may even manage to create an opening with North Korea if she finds a willing partner in Pyongyang.

Kim Jong-un is a completely closed book.

Nobody beyond his own family has the slightest idea what he thinks and intends, and maybe even they don’t. Maybe he doesn’t even know himself yet.

But unlike his father and grandfather, he has seen something of the world (he was educated partly in

Switzerland), and it may have given him ideas.

The point is not that either of these people is necessarily a bad choice as president. It’s that both countries (but especially the North) are fishing in a very shallow pool.

There are probably thousands of people in each country who would make better leaders, but they lack the connections and they will never be considered for the job. In fact, the same thing is true everywhere.

Would Hillary Clinton be the US Secretary of State if her husband had not been the president? Would George W Bush ever have been considered as a possible president if his dad had not been a moderately successful one?

For that matter, would Aung San Suu Kyi, runnerup to Nelson Mandela in the Global Sainthood Stakes, ever have become the voice of Burmese democracy if her father had not been the (autocratic) hero of the independence movement?

Can anything be done about this? Probably not, but it is a pity.

NATIONAL Three years and trillions later, global recovery still fragile and reversible

BY JULIAN BELTRAME THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA - Few are noting the occasion, but about now Canada and the rest of the world should be celebrating the third anniversary marking the end of the Great Recession.

It was in the third quarter of 2009 - the JulySeptember months - that Canada and many other major advanced nations began to breathe a little easier in the knowledge they had peered into the economic abyss and somehow survived.

Yet there are no signs of rejoicing, or even relief.

At separate stock-taking events last week, U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney and the International Monetary Fund each had different versions of the same message - the global economy still hangs by a thread, growth is painfully slow and full employment is years away.

Europe is suffering through a Japan-style lost decade. Canadians have been told repeatedly they have done better than most, and the message has become the reality. France’s L’Express magazine last week declared Canada “number one” in a cover story, encouraging readers to pack up and head to the promised land.

The reality is a little more nuanced, although Canada looks awfully good next to much of Europe, which is now expected to be in recession the rest of the year. But even in Canada, things might have turned out better. The first full year of recovery saw the output expand by an acceptable 3.2 per cent, but slow to 2.4 per cent in 2011.

Depending on the forecast, it will likely slow further to between 1.5 and 2.1 per cent this year.

And that’s gross domestic product, which includes population growth of about 1.2 per cent a year. Take away the fact there are more people in the country producing and spending, and the picture looks very different.

On a per capita basis, a truer measure of whether a country is getting richer or poorer, Canadians on average are still not back to where they were before the 2008-09 crisis. Per capita GDP in inflation-adjusted dollars peaked at $40,015.79 in the fourth quarter of 2007, and had only returned back to $39,648.11 in the first quarter of this year.

That’s not the way these things usually go.

Normally break-outs from sharp, deep slumps are just as sharp in the reverse, with growth rates of four, five and even six per cent for several years.

But as Carney said last week, this was not a normal recession and anyone expecting a typical bounce-back would have been fooling themselves.

Even so, the recovery has been softer than might have been hoped for.

“The broad brush of the difficulties of the aftermath of a major financial crisis - yes, we would have seen it,” he said. “The broad relative weakness of the United States and the impact on Canadian exporters ... we would have seen. I would say the scale and debt of the European crisis - this has proven to have taken longer and has been more acute than we would have anticipated.”

What went right And as Carney, Bernanke and the IMF made clear - it could all go terribly wrong if Europe falls off the high-wire act that has managed to contain the crisis without solving it.

What went right, say analysts, is that aggressive policy action in the form of trillions of dollars in stimulus and sharp cuts to interest rates succeeded in breaking the fall.

In Canada, Ottawa and the provinces chipped in about $60 billion in stimulus, while Carney dropped the central bank’s benchmark interest rate to a previously unheard of 0.25 per cent.

That kept the fall relatively shallow. About 430,000 Canadians lost their jobs in three quarters, but by July 2009, employment began rising again and has continued to build.

CIBC chief economist Avery Shenfeld, who early on coined the phrase the “Great Disappointment”

about the recovery, credits the global response for preventing a Japan-style lost decade, with its record of double and triple-dip recessions and real deflation in the 1990s.

The conventional wisdom is that Japan’s mistake was that waited too long to react. It took five years to drop the overnight rate to one per cent, and 10 to get into quantitative easing and recapitalizing its banking system.

But the benefit of all that stimulus has not been as bountiful as might have been hoped for, especially in Europe and the U.S. Part of the reason is that unlike Canada, many governments entered the crisis already burdened down with heavy debt loads or large deficits, so could not or chose not to throw all their chips in the stimulus pot. Others might have spent on the wrong things.

The United States spent its way to fiscal noman’s land, but with the exception of the bail-out of the broken banking sector, much went to tax cuts and other short-term relief that provided only fleeting relief, said Derek Holt, vice-president of economics for Scotia Capital.

“With the benefit of hindsight, they’d be in better shape now if they spent more on debt-relief (of the housing sector) and infrastructure projects,” he said.

Temporary solutions Some, like union economist Jim Stanford of the Canadian Auto Workers, say the problem is that governments didn’t spend enough, or gave up to soon.

“Governments stepped in a temporary way,” Stanford said. “Within 18 months, most governments, including Canada, turned off the stimulus and moved forcefully to austerity, so I’m not surprised at what’s happened. If you are in an environment where the private sector hasn’t really kicked back into gear and governments start cutting, then it’s a no-brainer, your recovery will run out of gas pretty quickly.”

Not surprisingly, Carney believes Canadian policy-makers did what was necessary. With the global economy collapsing, export markets for Canadian shippers dried up, leaving little choice but to prop up the domestic economy.

“We’ve relied on consumption (and) initially the government played an import role on the fiscal side,” explained Carney. “We’ve relied on broader household spending. But there’s limits to that strategy and we’re seeing the limits on the household debt side.”

Canadians in essence rescued the economy by borrowing, building up their household debt to a record high 152 per cent of income by the end of 2012. With the money, they mostly bought homes, leading to a real estate boom at a time of high unemployment and soft economic conditions.

Unfortunately, there’s no magic elixir to lift the economy out of its doldrums, either in Europe or the U.S. Carney said the bridge years should be spent repositioning the export sector by increasing productivity and changing the mix of markets away from traditional to emerging economies, but that takes time.

It means Canada’s recovery will stay in the slow lane for a while, maybe a long while, longer.

The Bank of Canada expects the economy to return to full production capacity at the end of 2013, but as Carney conceded last week, the size of the economy has shrunk since 2007. As long as global activity remains sluggish, Canada won’t be able to do much better because now consumers are carrying too much debt to keep spending.

“We’re finding it difficult to get that extra lift to growth that we would need to get back to full employment,” said Shenfeld.

That means Canadians can expect more of the same for a couple more years, Shenfeld said, and they still have to keep their fingers crossed that European leaders can continue to walk along the high wire. In other words, it won’t get much better but it could still get worse.

PEOPLE The secret to so many female First Nations leadership candidates?

BY HEATHER SCOFFIELD THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA - They did it without quotas, action plans or affirmative action.

Half of the eight candidates in the recent election for national chief of the Assembly of First Nations were women - a novel event, not just for the native organization but for Canadian politics in general.

The secret to such high female participation is two-fold, says Michele Audette, president of the Quebec Native Women’s Association.

It lies in politics at the local level, where women on reserves have been taking the reins more and more often, she says.

And it lies in an inclusive approach to men, making them realize that their own health and welfare improve along with the empowerment of women, Audette said in an interview as the AFN elections wrapped up.

“We do not push the men away,” she said.

Audette recalls that just 30 years ago, the

women of her reserve had to peer through the windows of the band office in order to read the lips of the male counsellors in the room making decisions on their behalf. Women had been banned.

She grew up to be an ardent feminist, eventually becoming the deputy minister in the Status of Women ministry in Quebec.

She believed in quotas and rules and affirmative action. But she later returned to First Nations politics, and found she had to change her approach.

The word “feminist” does not really exist in her native language, she said, but that’s not because women weren’t standing up for their rights. They just did it differently.

“We started to think, we have to work with the men, and have a healing process. And we have to work with the women, and empower them,” she said.

Violence against women has proven to be a catalyst, Audette said. Native women, and then their husbands, sons and fath-

ers, have been organizing against violence for years.

Now, the issue is a top priority for any national chief, and the key activists on the file are as likely to be male as female, she added.

Shawn Atleo, who defeated the four women and three men for the title of national chief to retain his title, notes that many First Nations have matrilineal roots - roots that were often disrupted by the imposition of the Indian Act. “The issue of gender division (is) one of the external influences that have come into our communities and the re-building of relationships between men and women is something all our communities are undergoing.”

At the local level of First Nations politics, there is ample space for women to get involved in politics and gain the networks and experience they need to move up, said Audette.

Nancy Peckford has noted the same phenomenon. Peckford is executive director of Equal Voice, a group

MICHELLE SIU PHOTO/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Michelle Audette, President of the Quebec’s Native Women’s Association, speaks during the final day of the Assembly of First Nations Annual General Assembly in Toronto on Thursday. that advocates for more women in Canadian politics.

“I’ve been told repeatedly that on the ground (on reserves), there’s tremendous grassroots leadership from women, who are using it as a launching pad,” she said.

“It is for us to look

at what they (First Nations) are doing right. Because we’re not faring as well in the rest of Canada.”

Still, the numbers suggest that a rise to the top for First Nations women is not easy.

The AFN says just 111 out of 633 chiefs are women - about 17.5

per cent.

That’s just slightly higher than the percentage of female mayors in cities across Canada, according to Equal Voice.

And it’s about the same percentage of women that are head of Liberal Party of Canada riding associations, where low female participation is considered a problem, said Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett, a one-time leadership candidate herself who also attended the AFN election meetings last week.

The momentum of First Nations women in politics may partly reflect their better success in the job market, said Dawn Mahdabee, who spearheaded a recent report on aboriginal wellbeing for the National Aboriginal Economic Development Board.

The report found that when it comes to participation in the workforce, there is a smaller gap between aboriginal men and women than there is between non-aboriginal men and women.

The wage gap is not as large either, and there’s a similar pattern in entrepreneurship, the board found.

Aboriginal women have higher highschool graduation rates than aboriginal men.

And often, it’s generally easier for women to become leadership candidates than it is for them to become MPs or even run for election, Bennett said.

That’s because in order to run for a seat in the House of Commons, a woman must be nominated by the riding association first.

To run in a leadership campaign, there are very few institutional barriers to joining the list, she said.

At the AFN, the four women candidates Ryerson professor Pam Palmater, Winnipeg lawyer Joan Jack, Quebec activist Ellen Gabriel, and former treaty chief Diane Kelly - astounded the audience of chiefs and delegates with their articulate and passionate vision for First Nations, Bennett added.

Hamill leaves Luke Skywalker to join the dark side in new crime film

BY NELSON WYATT THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL - “Star Wars” could have been a lot different if Mark Hamill had picked his role.

“I remember reading ”Star Wars“ and thinking, ‘boy, I wish I could be playing Darth Vader - that’s the part,’ ” Hamill said with relish in an interview Friday.

There was never any question of that, however, and he went on to become a pop culture icon as plucky Luke Skywalker, the intrepid space adventurer who helps derail the evil Vader’s plans for galactic domination in three “Star Wars” films.

Hamill’s latest role is a galaxy away from the earnest Skywalker. In “Sushi Girl,” a crime noir flick having its international premiere at Montreal’s Fantasia Film Festival, he plays Crow, a sadistic robber who inflicts pain with all the nonchalance of a chat between Skywalker and his robot pal R2D2.

“Every actor wants to push the envelope and explore the extremes on both sides,” Hamill said, calling Skywalker “an icon of virtue.”

But playing villains has proven lucrative for him too, with one of the most notable being his over-the-top vocal interpretation of The Joker in the animated Batman TV series

and video games.

“It was a great kick to be cast as The Joker because he’s an icon 180 degrees away from Luke,” Hamill said, agreeing it’s often more enjoyable to play the villain than the hero.

“You’re messing up the chance for good to succeed and that’s a lot of fun.”

In “Sushi Girl,” Hamill teams with a roster of horror and action movie stars including James Duval from “Donnie Darko,” serial heavy Andy Mackenzie (“Shoot ‘Em Up”), Michael Biehn, who duked it out with Arnold Schwarzenegger in “The Terminator,” and Tony Todd, who chilled filmgoers in “The Candyman” and has appeared on various TV shows including “24.”

Todd said the script for “Sushi Girl” reminded him of other prominent genre films such as “Asphalt Jungle” and “The Killing,” which Hamill calls his favourite Stanley Kubrick movie.

“I just wanted to get away from the career wearing prosthetics and hooks on my hands PAUL CHIASSON PHOTO/THE CANADIAN PRESS and have a role that was 100 per cent,” said Todd, adding he saw the crime flick as a Actor Mark Hamill, best know as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, is seen during an interview in Montreal. Hamill stars in the thriller Sushi Girl which was presented in chance to “take things to another level.”

Hamill appreciated director Kern Saxton’s the world premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal Saturday. interest in giving him such a dark role, saying “It’s just creepy,” he said of the quirky he likes to wear when torturing people. a few years ago he probably would have been Crow, who has a pair of particular shoes “He kind of whistles while he works.” picked for a more innocent character.

Trail All Stars battered but unbowed O’s look on the AM FORD ORIOLES

The B.C. Little League championship held its opening ceremonies Saturday and is in full swing at Andy Bilesky Park this week. Below: A White Rock player slides under the tag of Trail’s Trevor Vancamp, and left, Hastings infielders Matteo Porcellato and Steven Moretto turn a slick double play.

Hastings pound opposing pitchers

BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor

The Trail All Stars knew their first two games were going to be tough, and despite a good effort, the competition proved them right.

Trail dropped its first game Saturday 6-3 to District 3 White Rock, before going down 12-1 to Hastings on Sunday.

“Our hope going in was to win one of the first two and this is the worst case going 0-2, but we got three beatable teams that we can beat in the next three games,” said Trail manager D. J. Ashman.

The District 6 team from Hastings has to be considered a favourite to take this year’s B.C. championship after knocking off Trail as well as Beacon Hill 17-0 Saturday.

Despite the lopsided wins, Hastings manager Vito Bordignon says that after breezing through districts, it’s the best competition he has seen this year. The team is a testament to the program and Bordignon’s 28 years involved in Hastings Little League - the last 15 with the All Stars, which include a provincial and Canadian title

in 2009.

“It’s a lot of due diligence of the kids, the parents, the coaching, the league,” he said.

“We really emphasize trying to get these kids developed at an early age. A lot of the guys have been playing together since they were eight years old.

The continuity of playing together you can see it on the field, they actually like playing for each other.”

Trevor Vancamp led off for Trail to open the game against Hastings.

He drove a fastball deep to right-centre, but the Hastings fielder Thomas Neal made an incredible diving catch to rob Vancamp of a double and set the tone for the rest of the game.

“That’s just a bad break,” said Ashman.

“Any other game it’s a lead-off double, the next guy lays down a bunt and then you got your three, four, five hitters, pound three or

four runs in, but that’s just our luck . . . anyone can say, ‘no big deal,’ but it’s a deflating thing right off the bat.”

Hastings immediately made Trail pay. A lead off single, followed by back-to back-triples

by Steven Morretto and Noah Handson paced Hastings to a 5-0 lead.

Trail got on the board in the second when Brendan Makay led off with a single up the middle, Jon Ballarin walked, and Kian Jonston doubled in Makay to make it 5-1.

But Hastings added five more in the second, and despite getting runners in scoring position in the third and fourth innings, the All Stars couldn’t cash in the runs.

Similarly, in Trail’s opening loss to White Rock, Trail jumped out into a 3-0 lead thanks to a two-run homerun

by Makay in the first inning. But the Rock chipped away, scoring

two runs each in the first and second inning to take a 4-3 lead that it would not relinquish.

“Overall we were right in the game. We only hit in the first inning but if we hit for even four innings or five of the six innings we’re going to beat them.”

Ashman knows only too well the quality of baseball in the provincial tournaments having played on the last Trail team to win the B.C. and Canadian championship team in1990 and years of experience leading the All Stars.

“We’re right there, we know we can beat them and the kids feel good enough and positive enough if we played them in the semis or the finals to beat them,” said Ashman.

His rival from Hastings agrees.

“You never discount the hometown team, because they’re a scrappy little bunch, so you never know on any given day with the right pitching and right hitting they can make a game of it and that’s all it takes in this league,” says Bordignon.

Trail needs to win at least two of its next three games to make the playoffs. The next home game goes tonight at 5 p.m. and Tuesday at the same time.

In the other game Saturday, Dunbar beat Forest Hills 10-6.

Sunday’s scores for Beacon Hill vs Forest Hills and Dunbar vs White Rock were unavailable at press time.

Following an opening-game drubbing, the AM Ford Trail Orioles regrouped and came a base hit away from upsetting the Seattle Studs in Pacific International League play at Butler Park on the weekend.

With the Studs leading 6-5 in the bottom of the seventh inning and Connor and Kellen Jones on the corners, the Studs reliever Taylor Thompson got Brady Glover to pop up to centre field to end the game and preserve the threegame sweep Sunday for Seattle.

“We hung in there with that team for two games and I think we’ve got to walk away feeling pretty good about how we played,” said player/coach Jim Maniago.

The Studs jumped out to a 2-0 lead on two consecutive doubles and a single off of O’s starter Kellen Jones. But Trail answered in the bottom of the second inning, when Jones led off with a single, followed by two walks to Glover and Darrin Kissock.

Catcher Cam Ferguson singled to score Jones, and Jeff Sidey then stepped up and doubled to the gap to score Kissock and Glover, to put the O’s up 3-2.

The lead was shortlived, however, as the Studs replied in the top of three scoring four runs to regain the lead. The O’s rallied when a double by Kellen Jones added two more in the third, and despite shutting the Seattle batters down, 6-5 was as close as they’d get.

Jones helped his own cause by going 2-for-3 at the plate with one double, while Kissock was 1-for-1 with two walks.

In the opening matchup Saturday night, the Studs put on an extraordinary display of hitting prowess, pounding Oriole pitching at will, in a 16 hit, 18-2 romp.

However, to the Orioles credit, the second game of the double-bill was a complete turn around with teams combining for just seven hits in a tight 3-0 win for the Studs.

Despite the loss, Trail had to view the close match as a positive in light of the previous game debacle.

O’s pitcher Kissock pitched brilliantly, giving up three runs on six hits while striking out five batters over six and two-third innings.

Unfortunately, Trail batters only managed one hit off rival pitcher Gavin Hite who struck out 11 and walked six, over six and one third innings pitched.

Els wins on Scott collapse

Dramatic finish at Lytham

Scott might not get another chance like this.

After hitting a 3-wood into a pot bunker on the final hole, Scott had one last chance when he stood over a 7-foot par putt to force a playoff. It stayed left of the cup, and Scott dropped into a crouch. Standing off to the side, his chin quivered as the magnitude of the meltdown hit him. Instead, he mouthed one word: “Wow.�

Wow, indeed.

Even though Els had gone more than two years without winning, and had thrown away two tournaments in recent months with shaky putting, the Big Easy felt all along that something special was going to happen at this British Open.

TOUR DE FRANCE

Wiggins holds on THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS - It was a rare sight at the Tour de France: The yellow jersey holder charging down the streets of Paris at the head of the peloton, trying to set up a teammate for a sprint victory on the final stage.

Bradley Wiggins turned his victory lap into another exhibition at the Tour de France.

With Wiggins heading for a historic victory at the end of a largely ceremonial ride into the French capital, there was one last job to perform before savoring his achievement of becoming the first British rider to win cycling’s biggest race.

As with everything else over the

last three weeks, Wiggins did it to perfection - leading the team Sky train for parts of the final kilometres before pulling back to let Mark Cavendish secure yet another sprint victory.

Only then was it time for Wiggins to take it all in - the British flags waving in the heart of Paris, the view of the Champs-Elysees from the top of the podium and “God Save the Queen� being sung in his honour. “It’s been a magical couple of weeks for the team and for British cycling,� Wiggins said. “Some dreams come true. My mother over there, she’s now - her son has won the Tour de France.�

O’s prep for provincials FROM PAGE 9 “These guys are going to the nationals in Kansas City so they know how to hit, so you just got to keep them off balance,� said Kissock

of his success against Seattle hitters. “Throw it up, down, out, never two pitches in a row in the same spot.�

The Studs scored all three runs in the first two innings, but after that Kissock shut them down, allowing only one more base runner until the sixth. “As the game went on, I changed my speeds a little more and it helped out a lot.�

Seattle leads the PIL with a record of 15-2, are coming off another victory at the Kamloops

International Baseball Tournament and Kelowna Cash tournament, and are perennial favourites at the Grand Forks International. “Besides a professional baseball team, this team is the best team in North America . . . they’re a great team and we hung in there last night and today, so it’s pretty good as we head into provincials,� added Kissock.

The Orioles play in the B.C. Mens Baseball championship in Prince George Aug. 4-6.

LEISURE

Make feelings clear, don’t play men against one another Dear Annie: “Daniel” and I have been going out for six months. We really connect and feel as if we are meant to be together. There is only one problem.

One of our best friends, “Jordan,” has developed strong feelings for me. I found out he’s felt this way since before I began dating Daniel. When Daniel found out, he was outraged and felt betrayed

by Jordan.

Whenever I’m with Daniel, I can see that Jordan is jealous and angry. Now the two of them can’t even be in the same room without arguing. Daniel is fed up and doesn’t want me near Jordan anymore. How can I save two friendships without losing the love of my life? -- Hurt and Lost Dear Hurt: You cannot control how Daniel and Jordan act around each other, but you can help by making your feelings clear, especial-

ly to Jordan, that there is nothing romantic between you. Don’t play them against each other. You may need to back away from the friendship in order to allow Jordan time to get over you. However, if Daniel is so jealous that he doesn’t trust you, that is a different problem.

Dear Annie: I’ve been friends for years with a lovely group of women, divorced, married and widowed.

We get together once a month to dine out and catch up on news. We always looked forward to our girls’ night out.

Last year, “Agnes” remarried, and she has been bringing the new

husband along to our meetings. Everyone was patient at first because we didn’t think she would keep it up, but it’s been 10 months, and her husband has settled in as “one of the girls.”

We have discussed the problem, and no one wants to address it because we are afraid Agnes will quit the group. But it is causing a strain and some resentment each time he shows up. We long for the way our group used to be. What do you suggest? -Disappointed in Ohio Dear Disappointed: This is one of those things that ought to have been nipped in the bud. Agnes should not have brought her husband to begin with, but now he believes you have accepted him and enjoy his company. Removing him will necessitate hurting his feelings and risking Agnes’ displeasure.

A couple of you can talk to Agnes privately

and explain that you think her husband is a great guy, but you miss the comfort and casual ease of a girlsonly gathering. Ask her to please leave him at home next time.

Dear Annie: I must respectfully disagree with your advice to “Caught in the Middle,” whose sister, “Sheila,” had an affair and left her husband a year ago, devastating their 23-year-old son.

You advised the writer that it would be easier for the son to accept the situation if the new boyfriend were included at an upcoming gathering with all the family around him.

Sheila made her choice when she wrecked her family, and her son certainly does not need to be reminded of the hurt inflicted on him by his mother, nor does he need this boyfriend shoved down his throat. His family should support him and rally around him

and allow him time to grieve. Yes, he eventually needs to learn to tolerate this man -- but not yet.

Sheila should show more compassion for the devastation she has wrought, not to mention humility, even

remorse. You don’t support someone who deliberately hurts the family and then insists on instant acceptance.

-- A Reader in Oregon Dear Reader: We understand the desire to make Sheila pay for her terrible choice, but

a year isn’t “instant acceptance,” and frankly, there is no good time to learn to tolerate your mother’s boyfriend. This gathering is when the entire family will be together to support the son. We think that’s as good a
