SYD’S FUN RUN
New route, same worthy cause
Motorcyclists ride for Muscular Dystrophy BY ART HARRISON Times Staff
The local organizer of the annual Syd's Fun Run for Muscular Dystrophy motorcycle ride has changed the date and route and, given the weather predictions for this weekend, he's glad he did. “We used to make the run on Good Friday but we ran into snow a couple of times,” said organizer Les Schultz. “That was hard on some of the novice riders, hell, it was hard on the experienced guys. This will be much better. The point of the whole thing is to raise money for MD and we
might get more people out and raise more money when the conditions are better.” The MD fundraiser was initiated in 1980 by Syd Bates, who owned a Harley Davidson dealership locally for years, and was taken over by Schultz when Bates closed up shop and moved away in 1993. “I ran it for a couple of years but then got too busy at work and couldn't manage it anymore,” Schultz said. “Then four years ago me and a few friends were talking about it and how much fun it was and I picked it up again.” The ride has also changed its route from previous years when it would travel down through the U.S. and back into

Canada. “We went south because we didn't have to go over any passes and we had some riders from down there,” explained Schultz. “But the border has gotten so tight they insisted on stopping every single rider and it took forever to get through.” The new 280-kilometre ride starts at Leather and Steel in Fruitvale, travels through Trail to Warfield, then through Castlegar, and onto Nelson where more riders join. The ride continues from Nelson to Kaslo and back to Nelson before circling through Ymir back to Fruitvale and ending at the Warfield Firehall. See RIDE, Page 3

BY BLACK PRESS Gang violence might seem more common place in larger centres but that doesn't mean its tentacles can't reach deep into the Kootenays. With that in mind, B.C.'s anti-gang police unit is taking a step out of the shadows and into the spotlight. The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) is the integrated team of 400 officers and civilians from 14 different
agencies, including RCMP and municipal police forces, that disrupt and suppress organized crime around the province. The CFSEU is now out to capture a bigger public profile with the publication of its first-ever Community Report. The report can be read online at bc-anti-gang.com. Locally, RCMP sergeant Rob Hawton of the Greater Trail detachment said gangs haven't been prevalent like in the

Lower Mainland. “Fortunately, we have not seen gang activity or ties to recent arrests in the Greater Trail area,” he said. “However, we remain vigilant as it does have far-reaching effects through the drug trade.” With a variety of arrests involving marijuana grow-ops and outdoor crops over the last few years, Hawton wouldn't dismiss that there might be some gang activity involved. “An arms-length link is possible, but I cannot say with any degree of certainty where exactly it is going, as there are many destinations.” Sgt. Lindsey Houghton of the CFSEU said the aim of the community report is to make more people aware of the unit and what it does. The initiative comes as the antigang force chalks up a major win – the arrest

in February of three men in the murder of notorious gangster Jonathan Bacon, who was shot with four associates in 2011 outside a Kelowna casino. "Some people never thought that day would ever come," Houghton said. "Or that the police would ever take something like that seriously. That was one of the watershed moments in the history of Kelowna." Houghton said the report pulls together a broader picture of the CFSEU's work than people see in daily news media coverage. "It seems like every couple of weeks or month we've got an interesting story to tell and this was one way for us to tell it," he said. The report includes stories of officers tracking members of the Dhak/Duhre crime group who make up one side of the ongo-
ing bloody gang conflict in B.C. And it also releases intriguing findings on who is most likely to end up a victim of the gang violence that occasionally erupts in B.C. CFSEU researchers found the vast majority of gang-related murder victims over a four-year period had previous drug charges or convictions, and often violent criminal pasts. Most were gang members, not just associates or minor players in the drug trade, and a few were girlfriends or an innocent victim, like a man who was shot in Burnaby after picking up a Bacon brother vehicle to install a car stereo in it. B.C. gang-related killings peaked at 36 in 2009 before dropping to 18 last year. For more on the CFSEU, check out their website at cfseu. bc.ca

Weather
April delivered a bit of everything By Art Harrison Times Staff
If the usually showery April didn't seem quite so damp this spring as it may have in past years that would be because it wasn't... for the most part. Although the total accumulation of precipitation for the month was 99 per cent of normal, the majority fell as rain on only two days in April, 4 and 14. There was a brief reminder of winter midmonth when approximately 6 centimetres of wet snow blanketed parts of Greater Trail on April 13, but this quickly melted in most areas. It is somewhat notable that even this relatively small amount of snow constituted 158 per cent more snowfall than is normal for the month. The remainder of the April was considerably dryer with only occasional rain showers. Temperatures for the month were generally cool with the morning of the April 17 setting a new record low of minus 4.7 degrees. With a solid week of temperatures predicted to be in the high 20s ahead of us, gardeners and sun worshippers alike should be pleased with the beginning of May.
Ride ends in Warfield FROM PAGE 1 The run is expected to take up to six hours finishing up with a silent auction and draw for a leather riding jacket at the firehall. “Andrew Bligh, a young man with muscular dystrophy who lives in Warfield, always joins us at the firehall,” said Schultz. “He pulls the ticket for the door prize and seems to really enjoy coming out.” Registration for the ride starts at 8 a.m. Sunday morning at Leather and Steel and hits the road at 10 a.m. For more information, or to make a donation to the Fun Run, contact Les Schultz Autobody at (250) 364-2639.

The BC Coroner’s Department will be conducting an autopsy to determine the exact cause of his death. Foul play is not suspected. Crossley, 18, went missing on April 23 from his home and as a search ensued, no signs of the man were reported and he made no contact with his family.

The B.C. Liberals and NDP agree on one thing when it comes to B.C.’s vast forest resource: marketing B.C. wood to Asian markets remains a high priority. Their bitterest disagreement is over log exports, although neither party offers a clear strategy as the May 14 election approaches. The NDP election platform blasts the B.C. Liberals for presiding over a doubling of log exports to 5.7 million cubic metres between 2009 and 2012, with “no plan to curtail the flow. “We will work with stakeholders to reduce raw log exports and create more value-added forestry jobs in British Columbia,” says the NDP platform. The B.C. Liberals tout their success selling lumber to China and Hong Kong, whose share of B.C. lumber exports has grown from 6.6 per cent in 2006 to 32.6 per cent in 2011. The B.C. Liberals say their marketing partnership with Ottawa and the forest industry has sold enough lumber to keep 16 mills operating. “Banning exports of unprocessed logs won’t solve timber access issues for mills, especially coastal ones,” the B.C. Liberal platform says. “Our preference is to have logs milled here at home, but log exports are a key component to growing
ights of Columbus The Kn Trail - Warfield
our coastal forest economy and keeping people employed in British Columbia.” Platform highlights: • The B.C. Liberals propose to increase the budget for planting and silviculture in pine beetle-affected forests by $10 million a year, starting in 2015. The party promises to consult with communities and industry to make a transition from volume-based harvest licences to area-based tenures, a plan that was withdrawn from the legislature amid criticism earlier this year. • The B.C. NDP promises a $100 million investment over five years to double the number of seedlings planted and update forest inventories. The party has revived a proposal for a “jobs protection commissioner” to help adapt to reduced timber supply due to pine beetle damage. • The B.C. Conservatives propose to review Crown forest land tenures and “where appropriate, modify or change forms of tenure to ensure wealth and employment generation.” The party also wants to increase research, reforestation and marketing of forest exports abroad, but offers no specific plans or budget commitments. • The B.C. Green Party proposes to offer low-interest start-up loans “to encourage small, labour-intensive eco-forestry.” It also wants to hold an inquiry into “stumpage manipulation,” and “accelerate tenure reform to require no less than 50 per cent of public forest tenures be held by First Nations woodlots and communities by the year 2019.”

Teachers reject two-week break By J. McGarrigle Nanaimo News Bulletin
Students and staff in Nanaimo school district will only have one week off at spring break next year. While the school board voted unanimously in March to extend next year’s break to two weeks to save about $400,000, this move needed the approval of the Nanaimo District Teachers’ Association because it would have meant changing teachers’ hours of work, as minutes are added on to each school day to make up for the extra week off. At Monday’s business committee meeting to discuss next year’s budget, trustees learned that the union rejected the district’s final offer regarding the calendar change. Justin Green, NDTA president, said the union called a special meeting Monday so that members could discuss the offer, details of which he wouldn’t talk about except to say it included monetary compensation but “not nearly enough” to offset the loss of pay for certain members.

Funeral Notice
Arthur Eugene Simmons 1931 - 2013 Saturday May 4, 2013 at 1pm Crossroads Christian Fellowship
12 4th Street, Salmo BC STEPHEN POLOZ
New Bank of Canada governor named THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Stephen Poloz, the former head of Export Development Canada, was named Thursday as the next governor of the Bank of Canada, replacing Mark Carney, whose term ends June 1. The appointment to a seven-year term follows a lengthy five-month search process set in motion by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty after Carney announced he would step down June 1. “Stephen Poloz has a long and distinguished career in the public and private sectors with 30 years experience in financial markets, forecasting and economic policy,” Flaherty told a news conference. “I am confident he has the skills and experience required to lead the Bank of Canada at a time of global economic uncertainty.” Poloz has been president and chief executive at EDC since 2011. He joined the organization in 1999 as vice-president and chief economist, and in 2004 was named senior vice-president, corporate affairs. He spent five years with Montreal-based BCA Research, and 14 years with the Bank of Canada in various capacities. He holds degrees in economics from the University of Western Ontario and Queen’s University. “The bank’s employees are its greatest strength, and thanks to their efforts, the Bank of Canada enjoys a tremendous reputation globally as one of the world’s most effective and highly regarded central banks,” Poloz said. Flaherty described the search for Carney’s successor as an “extremely thorough” process that yielded the best candidates from around the world. “Mark Carney has been a visionary leader, an economic partner and a friend,” Flaherty said. “Over the past few years we have faced some unprecedented economic challenges and we surmounted.” Carney, who is leaving to take over the top job at the Bank of England, won respect across the global financial community for his leadership and deft handling of the challenges wrought by the recession. “It is much easier to leave knowing that an individual as competent and talented as Steve will be coming back to the bank to take over.” The position comes with a salary of between $431,800 and $507,900.

NATIONAL Attack ads fail to hurt Trudeau’s honeymoon with voters
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Two weeks of Conservative attack ads have done little to dim Justin Trudeau’s honeymoon with Canadians, a new poll suggests. The latest Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey suggests the Liberal party jumped into a seven-point lead over the Conservatives over the two weeks that followed Trudeau’s landslide leadership victory last month. Liberal support stood at 35 per cent, while the Conservatives dropped to 28 and the NDP to 22. The Green party was at seven per cent. That’s the highest level of support for the Liberals since March 2009, when the selection of Michael Ignatieff as party leader briefly buoyed the party’s fortunes. Ignatieff subsequently led the party to its worst defeat in history in the 2011 election, which reduced the Liberals to a thirdparty rump. Current Liberal support is not quite as high as the 36-percent peak reached by the NDP a year ago immediately following the election of its new leader, Tom Mulcair. New Democrats have been trending down since then, a spiral that accelerated over the last few months of the Liberal leadership contest. Trudeau’s honeymoon could yet prove as equally fleeting as those of new leaders before him. But for now at least, the poll suggests he has weathered the barrage of Tory television ads asserting that the new Liberal leader is “in way over his head.” The Conservatives began broadcasting the ads within hours of Trudeau’s leadership victory on April 14. “Things can certainly change in Canadian political opinion and,
with two relatively untested leaders, I’d expect these numbers are still relatively soft,” said Harris-Decima senior vice-president Doug Anderson. “What we do know for certain is that more people are saying they’d vote Liberal than have felt inclined to say that in years. And it’s better to be up than down.” The telephone poll of 2,008 Canadians was conducted April 18-28 and is considered accurate to within plus or minus 2.2 percentage points. It suggests the
Liberals moved into a commanding lead in Trudeau’s home province of Quebec, with 37 per cent to the NDP’s 24. The Bloc Quebecois had 23 per cent support, the Conservatives nine per cent and the Greens five per cent. Quebec, which was swept by the NDP in 2011, is key to Trudeau’s plans for a Liberal comeback in the 2015 election. The NDP led in British Columbia, with 34 per cent to the 30 per cent for the Liberals, the Tories at 22 per cent and the Greens at 13 per cent.

Another year, another failed library project in Trail
C
ity council has to make difficult choices as to what capital projects and other activities it is going to fund, but doing so behind closed doors does not increase public confidence in the process. It is also maddening for the members of the library board who must try to plan for the future without any idea of where their project stands in terms of council’s fiscal and political priorities. Complicating all capital spending decisions in the city for the coming years is the fact that the Old Bridge continues to rust away and will have to be taken down before it collapses into the river. The estimated cost of simply demolishing the old girl, without building anything in its place, is a staggering $5 million, which is three times the projected cost of moving the library into the old Field’s building on Cedar Avenue. Wrestling with a number like that, for which Trail and it citizens will get absolutely nothing in return, is what makes old city councillors even greyer.
••• With the New Democrats continuing to lead the polls by a good margin, it looks like Trail will be represented on the government side of the legislature for the first time since 2005. The city has some renewed hope of convincing the province to assist in taking down the bridge, which the province built and operated before handing it over to the municipality when the new highway bridge was constructed. But that seems to be a faint hope at best. Provincial finances are mired in the red, the New Democrats have plenty of spending priorities of their own and, after a dozen years of pro-business Liberal stewardship, the provincial economy is no more buoyant than when they took office. While the New Democrats were last in power, low commodity prices dragged down the resource dependent provincial economy. After the Liberals took over, commodity prices boomed internationally, so did real estate, and times were good

for a while. A dozen years on, commodity prices are sliding again, although they are still far above the trough of the 1990s. The worldwide economy has still not emerged from the downtown of 2008 and in some European countries, such as Spain and Greece, a quarter of the workforce is unemployed. In British Columbia, the unemployment rate at 7.3 per cent is slightly below the national average but well above that of the other western provinces, where the figures range from 4 to 5.1 per cent. In Trail, local food banks are “in crisis” according to a recent headline in The
Times. The unemployed, the working poor, and the hapless and the hopeless are turning up at Trail’s three food banks in greater numbers while the supply of goods is not there to meet the demand. Meanwhile, the provincial election campaign drones on, with the party leaders attacking each other’s driving and public transit records and making vague statements about the economy. New Democrat Adrian Dix is falling all over himself trying to find ways to prevent votes leaking to the Green Party while Premier Christy Clark claims to be the piper for liquid natural gas gold, a tall claim given her appallingly vague and vapid performance on the Northern Gateway pipeline project. If British Columbia is ever going to be able to feed all of its hungry citizens, someone is going to have to acknowledge that this is a resource-dependent province and the Pacific gateway for a resourcedependent region, and stop dreaming that tourism and organic vineyards are going
to replace mining and forestry as generators of jobs and prosperity. Vancouver Sun columnist Vaughn Palmer had a nice term the other day for the deadening political force that prevails in this province – BANANA, which stands for “build absolute nothing anywhere near anyone.” This sentiment results in the unbelievable phenomena like the 20 years over the reins of both leftand right-wing governments in this province it took to make a decision on the Jumbo Resort proposal. Whether you think that building another ski area on a pristine glacier in the East Kootenay is a good or bad idea, any reasonable person would have to conclude that taking two decades to say “yes” or “no” to the project does not offer much encouragement to those with an entrepreneurial bent. If this keeps up we will have to change the provincial slogan to “Beautiful and Hungry B.C.” Raymond Masleck is retired Trail Times reporter.

LETTERS & OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Climate change evidence exists I genuinely like Thorpe Watson, who wrote to you earlier this week disputing the science of climate change (Real science disputes climate claims Trail Times May 1). But I like him in the same way I like some of the missionaries that come to my door; I admire that they are acting on their principles and beliefs— something that not enough people do. I just happen to disagree with their arguments. Here are some of the arguments Thorpe advanced with which I disagree: Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, but rather is a vital plant food. Yes, plants need CO2. No, that doesn’t mean that too much CO2 can’t actually be a bad thing for plants, or for the planet. There is not enough CO2 in the atmosphere, and even burning all the world’s coal, gas and oil will not restore the CO2 that’s been taken out of the
atmosphere by things like limestone formation. Yes, there is more CO2 stored in limestone and other formations than there is in the atmosphere. No, that doesn’t mean that pumping lots more CO2 into the atmosphere is harmless. Arctic sea ice disappearance is an alarmist myth; it’s all natural variability (the link he gave to support this argument doesn’t work). According to NASA, last September’s Arctic ice cover was the lowest on record, and nine out of the ten smallest winter maximums on record occurred in the last ten years. The extent of sea ice in Antarctica is actually increasing. Here’s a link from NASA that does work: www. nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/20100108_Is_Antarctica_ Melting.html. They explain that the Antarctic sea ice extent is increasing because the ice from the mainland is flowing out to
sea much faster, and that the continent has been losing 24 cubic miles of ice per year since 2002. The “alarmist narrative” violates the second law of thermodynamics. Last I checked the earth was not an isolated system, which is what this law applies to. Among the important influences from outside the system is solar energy. The alarmists are now referring to “global warming” as “climate change”. I’m not sure what this would prove if it were true, but note that the UN Framework Convention on Climate change was concluded sixteen years ago, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change was created over thirty years ago. Climate scientists have never called it global warming, because that’s such a poor description of what’s really happening. Aaron Cosbey Rossland
Chair responds to library comments I would like to respond to comments made by City of Trail CAO, David Perehudoff, regarding the relocation of the Trail & District Public Library (City closes book on library move to old Fields building, Trail Times May 1). In addition to the issue of cost Council has outlined other areas of concern. The use of BC One cards, which allows any resident of BC with a library card to access any library in BC, is a concern for council because people from other communities use our library, the heaviest users being 432 Rossland cardholders and 397 Beaver Valley cardholders. These communities do not contribute to the Trail Library costs. Mr. Perehudoff suggests that the Library should be a regional library but that study was done several years ago and discarded as unworkable. The fact is that the Library is a Municipal Library and is funded by the citizens of Trail. To bring BC One card usage into the argument against relocating the Library means that the citizens of Trail are being punished because people who do not live in Trail use the Library. City Council is nego-
tiating to purchase the Trail airport at a cost of $ 2 million and has in its capital budget a pedestrian footbridge at a cost of $3.5 million and the second access to the Regional Hospital at a cost of $ 2.2 million. All of these capital costs and services are going to be used by nonTrail residents, paid for by Trail taxpayers, with ongoing costs, but that does not seem to be an issue for Council. It is only an issue in discussion about the Library. Mr. Perehudoff also brings up the subject of Warfield’s financial contribution to the Library. Warfield residents have full library privileges. The Library Board has met with the mayor and council of the Village of Warfield on two occasions to ask for an additional $ 9,000.00 per year towards the cost of the Library. They currently pay less than any other municipality in the province of BC for library services. They have refused to increase their contribution from what they were paying in 2009. This is a political issue over which the Library Board has little control because the Village of Warfield also refuses
to sign a contract with the Library Board for the provision of library services. Failure to relocate the Library will mean that Council is discriminating against those older members of our community who find the access to the Library impossible because of their physical limitations. Trail Council, in effect, chooses to punish Trail residents by denying them a bigger and better location because non-Trail residents would also get the benefit of a new and expanded library and Warfield does not pay a fair share. Trail residents value their Library. In the month of April we added 102 new Trail resident cardholders. Even with our cramped location people see the Library as a vibrant and vital part of their community. I wish that Trail Council valued the Library as much as its residents do. The Library Board conducted our survey and we received input from residents. The people have spoken but Trail Council does not appear to be listening. Barbara Gibson Chair for Trail & District Public Library Board

Live water I just returned from a motorcycle trip to the Oregon high desert. Among the many thoughts and memories I have brought back is a new awareness of live water. The High desert is an arid place. It was the first time I have been in such a dry and dusty environment for such a long time. Mostly it is not completely plantless. There are rolling hills covered with sage brush – coarse, prickly plants which manage to survive on the dry sandy soil. To my surprise there were also many lakes. Not dried up lakes, but full of water. However there was no vegetation around the lakes. These were salt lakes, lakes with no outflow, dead lakes full of dead water. There were also places where water had been used for irrigation, and the desert bloomed with life. Grasses grew, animals fed. But only where the live water could flow out as well as in We live in valleys full of live water. The mighty Columbia flows past our doors, full of life: fish, plants and insects. We have live creeks and live lakes. And we take all of this for granted. We pour huge quantities of live water on our lawns and gardens through the summer, and keep them alive. Political and social commentators suggest that we should not expect this to continue if we do not guard it. Live water is a precious commodity to be treasured and cared for. Live water is a spiritual term too, one Jesus used. The Spirit inside us becomes a stream of live water, bringing life to us, nourishing us. Like the water which falls on the desert, this living water must flow or it dies. It flows in us and through us. If we try to hoard it, it dies, and we dry up. When we share it, it lives, and brings life. To truly live we need to connect with the springs of living water, and we need to let that water flow through us. Neil Elliot St. Andrews Anglican Church

Priest transform church through art of sacred iconography THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LACKAWANNA, N.Y. - The religious scenes playing out on the interior walls of St. Stephen Serbian Orthodox Church could have been painted centuries ago: Saints with gilded halos, winged angels hugging curved arches, calligraphic lettering helping to tell ancient stories. But the paint is barely dry. This brick sanctuary on a street busy with shopping and fast food was, on and off for more than six years, the canvas of the Rev. Theodore Jurewicz as he quietly practiced an art form that had its beginnings in the Roman Empire. Paintbrush and palette in hand, the Serbian Orthodox priest filled virtually every square inch of interior wall and ceiling with icons, sacred paintings depicting the life of Christ and the angels and saints. There are hundreds of figures in the timeless Byzantine style, drawing the eye up, around and into nooks and crannies with vivid colours that pop from a slate blue backdrop. Even the thermostat and light switch plates have been transformed. “I was always interested in holy pictures when I was a child. I used to scribble on paper and on the walls,” Jurewicz said. “It just grew on me, I guess.” He has been doing this work for about 40 years, often working on several Orthodox churches at a time, commuting from his Erie, Pa., church and spending a few weeks before again moving on. “It’s nice,” said the white-bearded Jurewicz, 63, who is matter-of-fact about his talent. “You come back rested. You see your mistakes and correct them.” St. Stephen Serbian Orthodox Church was completed just in time for the May 5 Easter celebration. The Rev. Rastko Trbuhovich, who has been there 28 years, said church leaders had casually talked about such a project for years before finally moving forward to raise funds for the $160,000 undertaking. One of Jurewicz’s mentors, a monk named Father Cyprian Pyzhov, had done some work in the Lackawanna church in the 1960s. “We don’t worship icons, we honour them, we venerate them,” Trbuhovich explained. “We use them to communicate with the person in the icon. It helps us to see them.” “On other occasions to use icons, we would show pictures of traditional churches covered in icons,” he said as walked through the nave, which he said represents the cosmos transformed. “Some people said this is the way our church should look.” A 16-by-16-foot icon of the face of Christ occupies the centre of St. Stephen’s arched ceiling. Traditionally, it would go in the dome if a church has one. It was the first image to appear and made believers even out of those in the congregation of 350 to 400 people who had been reluctant toward change. “That got everyone’s attention,” he said. He follows a hierarchal pattern established in the Middle Ages. The feasts celebrating the great events in the life of Christ are on the ceiling and the saints are on the walls. “At the beginning it’s an act of creativity. You have to figure everything out, the composition,” Jurewicz said. “It’s not like Rembrandt. It’s other worldly,” Father Leoniet Charlancow, a Rasifer monk at the Holy Trinity Monastery Icon Studio in central New York, said of the traditional style. “It’s supposed to transport you to another dimension, Heaven.”

Martial Artists impress at Canadians By Jim Bailey
Times Sports Editor
Trail Martial Arts (TMA) competitors put in a great showing at the Tae Kwon-Do International Canadian Championships in Kelowna on Saturday capturing a bounty of medals from the competition. Twenty-seven TMA members collected an incredible 17 medals at the event that welcomed close to 200 Tae Kwon-Do practitioners from across Canada, the U.S., and as far away as Wales. “The team did really, really well,” said TMA instructor Jason Ayles. “I am really proud of how everybody did, and we’ve got a number of them going to the world championships in England in July.” Nine TMA experts from Greater Trail will be attending the worlds, with Ayles leading the charge after picking up a silver medal in the black belt heavy-weight sparring. “Everybody has been doing their part and training hard, so when you are doing all the right things it makes it easier that’s for sure,” he added. Ayles lost to former World Tae KwonDo champion Jonathon Zaleski who also happens to be Ayles’ instructor’s son. “He is hoping to reclaim his throne in England as well,” added Ayles, who will also compete. There are three elements in the Tae Kwon-Do competition, including: sparring, patterns, and flying side kick. Sparring is scored by making light con-

Trail Martial Arts brought home 17 medals from the Tae Kwon-Do International Canadian championships in Kelowna last weekend, and will send nine martial arts competitors to the world championships in England in July. tact, with three points awarded for a kick to the head, two points for a kick to the body, and a single point for a punch to the body or the head. Patterns is a sequence of techniques with high scores for fluidity, flexibility, power, balance, and overall beauty of the pattern. Tae kwon-do is a relatively new art, emerging from Korea in the late 1950s as an attempt to unify different forms of martial arts like Karate and Tang su do. Its techniques are based on centuries old knowledge that, for adults, combines exercise, skill, self-discipline and concentration that develops ones ability to defend oneself as much as it helps reduce stress and incorporate a high ethical standard.
TMA results: Mattias Hofmann won gold in age 11-13 Advanced Patterns, while team mate Owen Waite took silver in the same category. Michael Ganzert also topped the podium winning gold in the 11-13 Advanced Sparring while Keaton DixonReusz captured bronze. Will Boyes picked up silver in the 11-13 Male Sparring, while Cameron Nagle claimed bronze, and Piper Fayant captured bronze in the Novice Patterns. Amos Lawrason was the other gold medal champion, taking top spot in the 14-17 Advanced Patterns, while Emma MacLean was a double-bronze winner in Advanced Patterns and Advanced Ladies
KIJHL
Rebels’ coach resigns
By Times Staff Castlegar Rebels coach Steve Junker resigned on Tuesday, handing over command of the Rebel crew to Jesse Dorrans. Junker left the team in order to pursue a new career outside of hockey, with a local firm, reported the Castlegar News. Dorrans, the former assistant coach, will take over as head coach immediately and will be behind the bench when the Castlegar Rebels open their season in September at the Castlegar Community Complex, announced Castlegar Rebel President Jim Craig in a release. “Our organization would like to thank Steve Junker for the commitment, time, and dedication he has
given to the Rebels over the past three seasons, and wish him all the best in his new career. “Steve, in his three seasons with the Rebels, established himself as one of the premier coaches in our league, with a record of 114 wins, 30 losses, 7 ties, with two league championship appearances. The crowning accomplishment was, of course, the KIJHL League Championship win in the past season. That’s a record of which Steve and our organization can be proud of. “Appointing Jessie Dorrans as head coach of the Castlegar Rebels, allows us to continue what we have begun within our organization. Jesse has a proven track
record of recruiting and developing KIJHL players and his close association with Steve and his past coaching experience will serve him well in his new challenge.” Dorrans was assistant coach of the Rebels for the past three years. Prior to that, he was head coach for the Grand Forks Border Bruins and an assistant coach with the Rebels for two years
during Brent Heaven’s tenure. “I am looking forward to my new opportunity as head coach of the Castlegar Rebels,” said Dorrans. “While our goal is to graduate as many of our players to higher levels of hockey we should have a good core of returning players next season which will allow us to compete at a high level again,”
Sparring. wPaul MacLean took bronze in the 14-17 Advanced Male Sparring, while in the age 8-10 Advanced Male Sparring category Evan Chandler won bronze James Fench and Shannon Swayze each won bronze in the men’s and ladies advanced sparring respectively, while in the over 35 category Kelly Waite took silver in ladies advanced sparring. Trail Martial Arts also provides instruction for all ages, from little tigers, ages 3-5, to adults, and also includes training in Jiu-Jitsu, nunchuks, and Bo staff, as well as self-defense courses.

Nitehawks host spring camp By Times staff Don’t tell the Beaver Valley Nitehawks the hockey season is over, as the KIJHL team coaching staff gets set to host some of the best young skaters in its spring camp this weekend. Starting today, approximately 60 skaters and eight goalies will take to the ice at the Beaver Valley Arena for its annual May gathering. “It’s more than what we had at our main camp last year and I think it’s more than what we had in the spring camp last year so it seems to be having some pretty good results,” said assistant coach Jeremy Cominotto.
“AT OK TIRE, THE ONLY SHOCKS I GET ARE FOR MY SUSPENSION”
Young players aged 15 to 19 from Alberta, B.C., and the U.S. will join some veteran Nitehawk players in a competitive weekend of practices and scrimmages. Alex Evin of NL Goaltending will put the tenders through the paces on Saturday and Sunday, as coaches Terry Jones, Cominotto, and Kevin Limbert assess and evaluate potential Nitehawks. “It’s a very competitive camp,” said Jones. “Lots of local prospects, out of town recruits, some veterans and former Hawks participating, it should be some good hockey.” See Scoreboard on Page 12 for scrimmage schedule.

ay! The Trail Orioles have released their schedule and it means that, at least on some weekends, our little jewel of a ballpark will have grown up baseball. The fact many of the dates (May 18, 25, 26, June 13, July 20, 27) hold doubleheaders also means the concession stand will be open long enough for most to partake of lunch or dinner while they are enjoying Butler Park and supporting the Orioles, who have had a pretty decent run in Western Canadian competition of late. It is good news for local baseball that the Orioles seem to still be thriving. Ball fans have some ball, pretty good

ball at that, to watch and young players have the example of the senior team towards which to strive. Keeping ball/travel affordable for the young adults who work at and enjoy it requires, of course, some considerable amount of off-field work. A lot of it is done by the team and their attached families, but volunteers, knowledgable or not, are more than welcome. So, contact Jim Maniago (368-9849) or Wayne Florko (3685645) either right now or after you have checked out the schedule and realized, “I am available that day/weekend.” Because, Butler Park, and the Orioles, are ours, and we should support them as well as we can. •Meanwhile, although the NHL is an anti-fan mess many among us are going to watch the playoffs anyway.

I hope they take note of the local connections of many of the players who got where they are (into the NHL as playoff performers) at least in part through the efforts of local junior teams, coaches and organizers. Former Nitehawk Cody Franzen is among them, allbeit with the woefull Leafs, as is former Smoke Eater Dan DeKyser of the moresupportable Detroit Red Wings. There are other KIJHL and BCHL grads throughout the pros, living some of their dreams because hockey fans here and in other small towns around the province put in their time to keep their community teams viable.

Choosing husband or kids is unfair ultimatum Mailbox

says that because I help them against his wishes, it means I love them more than him. That isn’t true. One son is homeless and has to look for a place to stay every night. That breaks my heart. My husband found him downstairs sleeping one morning and told me that I’d better get him out or he would call the police. He won’t even allow me to let my son shower here. I realize the boys need to make it on their own, but am I supposed to turn my back on them when they need help? At what point do you give up on your kids and choose

My brother’s party would require travel, hotel and meals. My husband and I have already booked (and paid for) a nonrefundable weekend getaway and made arrangements with his parents to watch our kids. We did this three months before my brother sent out his save-the-date cards. How do I break the news to my brother? I should add that I am rarely included in anything the rest of the family does, and I worry that if I miss this event, I will never be included in anything again. -- Little Sis Dear Sis: Call your brother and let him know you have a conflict. Tell him you are heartbroken to miss his party and wish you

I feel like such a horrible mom. -- Worried for Them Dear Worried: Your husband should not be issuing ultimatums wherein you must choose between the man you love and the children you love. This is unfair and creates tremendous resentment. Your husband may have good cause to want the kids out of the house, but it’s difficult to do when they have no place to go. How old are they? Do they have jobs? Would you temporarily assist with their rent if it got them out of the house? Are there substanceabuse issues that need treatment?

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, May 4, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Later today, you might encounter objections about the way you are handling your money. Listen to the advice of someone older or more experienced. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might feel cut off from others today, perhaps because you feel they are critical of you. Actually, this is not so. It’s just easy to feel gloomy today. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Don’t put yourself down about something, because this is just a passing influence. You have all the strengths and talents you had a week ago, right? CANCER (June 21 to July 22) When talking to groups today, you will be focused on finding out what is wrong with something. Your critical instincts definitely are sharpened today.
Friday, May 3, 2013 Trail Times
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Avoid farewells with parents and bosses today, because this will drag you down. Instead, focus on doing anything that gives you a sense of accomplishment. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a good day to seek out a priest, minister or authority figure you respect in order to get this person’s advice. You will feel reassured if you get the opinion of someone else today. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Check with someone else before making important decisions about shared property, inheritances, debt, taxes and anything you own jointly with others. Don’t make this decision alone today. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might have to say goodbye to a friend or a loved one today. It’s best if you can postpone this. It’s easy to feel gloomy, so who wants to say
goodbye? (Not you.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a good day for heavy mental work that requires attention to detail and discipline. And believe me, you’ve got what it takes. (But do take frequent rests.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) If you are a parent or you work with children, try not to be critical of your kids today. Remember the advice
of Goethe: “Criticism does much, but encouragement does more.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is the classic day to worry too much. Remember: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.” PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Take a look at your finances and banking, as well as the money coming in the money
going out. What can you do to improve things? YOU BORN TODAY Without intending to, you make a strong impression on others. You are warm, caring and always professional. People sense that you are stable and reliable (even though you are a risk taker). Your friendly exterior hides a steely resolve. You are dedicated to your cause. Good news. Your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream
