Silver City Days set to go BY ART HARRISON Times Staff

The trucks are rolling in, the tables are set and everything is ready to go for the annual Silver City Days celebration in Trail, according to the organizing committee. Committee president, Ian McLeod, is hoping for a good turnout for the 50-year anniversary of the community celebration. “We always have a good crowd,” he said. “We hope for the 50th it'll be even better.” With the old Eagles building lot available this year McLeod is hoping there might even be additional rides offered at the midway. “We've got some new vendors for the street mall and we'll have a bit more room for the midway this year,” McLeod said. “There will also be a free concert on Sunday for Family Day at Gyro Park with Abracadabra, an ABBA cover band.” Festival goers can expect many of the attractions they have come to appreciate over the years with live music on the main stage on Spokane Street from Wednesday to Saturday, a wide variety of tasty treats and novelties at the Festival Food Mall, and the Junior Smoke Eaters hosting the sidewalk cafe in the Cominco Arena Saturday. For the young, and young at heart, the West Coast Amusements midway and carnival will be situated on the Esplanade and Kiddies Capers is back and will be held Saturday in the space previously occupied by Liquidation World in the old Town Square building. This year the events are aiming to be more family-friendly as there will be no alcohol served at any of the venues and no festival gardens. “With provincial legislation and city bylaws being what they are we'd need so much paid security staff we felt it wasn't worth it,” said McLeod. Silver City Days officially kicks off Wednesday with the opening of the food mall, live music on See EXPANDED, Page 3

Council pitches Eagles’ lot for library Final decision depends on voters in 2014 municipal election BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Silver City Days committee president Ian McLeod was helping set up picnic tables along the food mall on Monday morning. The annual celebration officially kicks off on Wednesday.

A new library proposal might mean the start of a new story. On Monday, Trail city council announced its decision to dedicate the land previously occupied by the Eagles Building for the construction of a new Trail Public Library and Historical Museum in downtown Trail. “I am as I always have been with regards to a new library, cautiously optimistic,” said Barbara Gibson, Trail and District Library Board chair. “My only concern is that the lot is only 7,500 square feet, compared to Fields which was 10,000, so we are going to have to do some talking in this initial stage.” Mayor Bogs said that constructing a new building will offer the public a new and modern facility in a good location. “Buying a piece of property (Fields) and then having to renovate it to today’s standards was too expensive,” he explained. “It just didn’t make any sense, and this new library museum will definitely be a two-story building.” However, council’s decision, made during the strategic planning meeting on Thursday, is not the final say. “The final decision on whether or not the building will be constructed will be made by the Trail citizens.” During the next municipal election, in November 2014, the public will have the opportunity to vote for a loan authorization bylaw to provide the authority required for council to borrow money needed to proceed with the detailed design and construction.

Heroic dog gets her day at the Hall of Fame BY TIMES STAFF Heroes come in all shapes and sizes and at Monday morning's 2013 Purina Animal Hall of Fame ceremony the four-legged variety were honoured including one from Trail. Angie Prime and her dog Vicious were in Toronto for the ceremony on Monday after Vicious came to her rescue when a cougar invaded their Sunningdale home last August. That day, Prime was relaxing in her living room with Vicious, her 12-year-old Border Collie/Labrador cross, and her two puppies. Like she had done in the past,

Prime had her lights turned off so as not to attract insects, and left the sliding door open to the backyard so her pets could go in and out. Suddenly, she sensed another presence in the room. She turned and found herself face-to-face with a cougar. Realizing she had nowhere to go, Prime put her arms up to shield her face and screamed as the cougar pounced on her. "You are not thinking to run at that moment when you see a cat," Prime told the Trail Times shortly after the attack. From across the room, Vicious sprang into action, launching herself at the

cougar. The cat disengaged and headed towards the open door. Vicious followed protectively, chasing the cougar out towards the green belt at the back of the property. Not long after, Vicious came back fortunately unharmed. Conservation officers arrived at the scene and they agreed that Prime was extremely lucky to be alive. "It's a chance in a million that (a cat attack) would ever happen in a home," she said last August. "But if it wasn't for (Vicious) I would have been mauled." See FOURTH, Page 3

Fourth Greater Trail animal to be inducted FROM PAGE 1 Vicious was one of four dogs honoured at Monday’s ceremony including another B.C. canine, Teak, who was named the Service Dog of the Year for the German Shepherd’s work in apprehending a Vancouver robbery suspect despite receiving knife wounds during the arrest. Teak underwent two surgeries and, with the wounds healed, is enjoying retirement. “The tenacity of our 2013 inductees to rescue and protect people from harm – whether it’s a wild animal, house fire, criminal or a medical emergency – showcases the connection animals have to humans and the physical risks they will take to keep them safe,” said Mary Siemiesz, executive director of the Purina PetCare Legacy in a press release. Vicious is the fourth Greater Trail animal to gain induction into the Purina Animal Hall of Fame. In 2005, Ty, an eight-year-old Siamese cat was honoured for saving his Trail owner’s life after she collapsed with heart failure. In 2007, golden retriever Jango was hailed for alerting her Trail family to a house fire. In 2009, Jarod, a chow chow, saved its owner and a fellow pet from a bear attack.

A semi carrying a load of bricks crashed at the corner of Tennyson Ave. and Highway 3B on Friday. The truck driver was killed.

Truck crash leaves one dead, one injured By Times Staff A summer student working for the Village of Warfield is out of the hospital following Friday's fatal truck crash. A 50-year-old Ontario truck driver died Friday when his transport truck lost control at the bottom of the Rossland hill leading into Warfield. Debris from the crash injured a village employee who was sent

to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital and released over the weekend. The name of the deceased and the injured employee are currently being withheld. RCMP responded to the accident at approximately 12:30 p.m. on Friday at the intersection of Tennyson Ave. and Highway 3B. According to the police report, a Commercial B Train traveling down

New building construction will cost Trail taxpayers FROM PAGE 1 “Constructing a new building on city-owned land will end up costing the city and taxpayers in the long run,” said Bogs. “Of course this will impact taxes, as does every capital project,”conceded Gibson. “But as I said in my previous proposal to council, the cost could be spread out over time.” Gibson said that during the next 18 months, the board will use the time to partake in fundraising to mitigate the cost to the Trail taxpayer; and to build awareness of what a new the new library museum will look like.

“This gives people time for input about what they want to see in the new library, and build some excitement about the project.” The next stage in the library relocation saga is that the city will hire an architectural firm to develop the necessary conceptual plan for presentation to the public. “Our study listed what people in Trail want to see in their library,” said Gibson. “I am looking forward to working with the City of Trail and the historical society. “Then the people of Trail get to vote on whether or not they want it.”

Bridge fire disrupts trains By Alex Cooper

Revelstoke Times Review

The CP Rail bridge over the Columbia River in Revelstoke re-opened Sunday afternoon after crews completed repairs following a fire Saturday evening. “Work progressed safely throughout the day and after all repairs were complete and track safety inspections were performed, we were able to restore rail service to our main line in Revelstoke late this afternoon and train operations have resumed,’ wrote CP Rail spokesperson Kevin Hrysak in an e-mail Sunday. Revelstoke firefighters, with help from provincial forest fire fighters, spent several hours putting out a fire, which started at around 7 p.m. on May 4. The fire slowly filled the valley with thick black smoke as a northwest wind blew the fumes down the Columbia River. There was no train on the bridge. A crowd of people made their way to the Farwell neighbourhood and Woodenhead Park to witness the fire and watch as firefighters moved in to tackle the blaze. Revelstoke Fire Rescue Services responded in force, with several trucks and 18 firefighters. CP Rail personnel and RCMP also attended. Firefighters had their snorkel truck spraying water on the bridge. Afterwards, teams of firefighters could be seen working their way along the bridge, spraying water over the flames. A helicopter was brought in by the Ministry of Forests to water bomb the fire from the air. The cause of the fire is under investigation, said Hrysak in an e-mail Sunday morning. He wrote there was damage to the rails and ties on the bridge, and there was no word yet on when the bridge -- which is part of CP Rail’s main line to and from the west coast -- would be re-opened. “Our engineering crews were inspecting the bridge early this morning before any work commenced and the appropriate safety inspections will be performed once full repairs are complete and before train operations resume,” he wrote.

PEOPLE GIULO ANDREOTTI

OBITUARIES MASON, DELFINA — It is with sad and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our dear wife, mother, nonna and bisnonna, Delfina Mason, on April 27th, 2013. Delfina was born November 26th, 1928 in S’ Giorgio Richinvelda Pozzo, Italy to Emma and Antonio Colonello. She was married to Angelo Mason on her birthday, November 26th, 1949 and they enjoyed 63 years of marriage together. A few months after they were married, Angelo left Italy to come to Canada. Delfina made the long journey across the ocean, landing in New York City and then across Canada to Trail by herself in October of 1950. Quite a feat, especially as she didn’t speak the language. Delfina and Angelo made their home in Fruitvale in 1952 where they had four children. ‘Nonna’ was always ready with warm, dry socks for grandchildren in the winter, good food and yummy candy bowls. She enjoyed her flowers and garden, and spent many hours outdoors tending to them both. Delfina’s main focus was her family and making sure everyone was well fed and well loved. Delfina was predeceased by her parents and two sisters: Angelina Colonello and Linda Altan. Left to cherish her memory is her husband, three sons: Carlo (Marilyn), Dave (Brenda), Bernie (Sherri), daughter: Sylvia (Rick Dominici), grandchildren: Marlo (Mike Caputo), Michele (Kevin Ihas), Mike (Janet), Jeff (Julia), Jarret (Megan), Matthew and Nathan; eight great grandchildren: Jesse, Josh, Emmie, Nate, Mya, Gino, Gemma and Taylor, as well as two sisters: Cathy Colonello, Nives (Reg) Bozzer, a brother Tino (Laura) Colonello, sister-in-law Ava Cominotto, and many nieces and nephews. A family graveside service took place Thursday, May 2nd, 2013 at the Fruitvale Cemetery. The family would like to express their heartfelt appreciation to all the emergency personnel that attended the home that night, to Personal Alternatives for their assistance with the arrangements, to Father Jim McHugh & Elizabeth Stephens for the service, and to our friends and family for all of their support during this difficult time. As an expression of sympathy, donations can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, St. Michael’s School or the MS Society of Canada. Broken Chain

Premier helped shape post-war Italy

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. Ron Tranmer *** MCLAREN, ROBERT (BOB) NICHOLAS — The family of Robert (Bob) Nicholas McLaren would like to share his passing on May 2, 2013. Bob was born in Trail BC on August 26, 1937 and remained there until relocating to Elkford BC in 1973. The Elk Valley would become his permanent home. Bob worked at Fording River as a machinist until retirement. Bob loved the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman. He will be greatly remembered for his quick wit and one-of-a-kind personalities. Bob leaves behind his loving wife Rosemary, his three girls Susan (Don) Tait, Lori (Kim) Krish, and Sheri (David) Taylor, his grandchildren Jason (Julie) Tait, Jessica (Jason) Bown, Jared (Tiffany) Krish, Ryan and Adam Taylor and his great grandchildren Lincoln and Levi Bown and Emi Krish. He also leaves his mother Seena, sisters Donna and Linda. He was predeceased by his father Gordon and brother Larry. In order to respect his request, there will be no service but instead just a simple toast to acknowledge and honour a man that will never be forgotten and that can now be at peace and free. “Miss Me” When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free! Miss me a little, but not too long, and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, miss me but let me go. For this journey we all must take, and each must go alone. It’s all part of the Master plan, a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me, but let me go.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ROME - Giulio Andreotti personified the nation he helped shape, the good and the bad. One of Italy’s most important postwar figures, he helped draft the country’s constitution after World War II, served seven times as premier and spent 60 years in Parliament. But the Christian Democrat who was friends with popes and cardinals was also a controversial figure who survived corruption scandals and allegations of aiding the Mafia: Andreotti was accused of exchanging a “kiss of honour” with the mob’s longtime No. 1 boss and was indicted in what was called “the trial of the century” in Palermo. He was eventually cleared, but his legacy was forever marred. Still clinging to his last official title, senatorfor-life, Andreotti died Monday at age 94 after an extended period of poor health that included a hospitalization for a heart ailment. Andreotti grew more stooped with age, and infirmity kept him from what few official duties remained, such as opening the inaugural session of the new Senate in March, a privilege reserved for the eldest-serving member that fell this time to the next-in-line. Andreotti, a key player in the now-defunct Christian Democratic Party that dominated politics for nearly half a century, helped bring prosperity to what was once one of Europe’s poorest countries. When a corruption scandal flushed out the old political guard in the 1990s, marking the end of the first Italian Republic, he survived. But he lost political clout after he became

a senator-for-life in 1991, an appointment that freed him from electoral cycles but also deprived him of capital in the backroom dealmaking that helped create his reputation as a Machiavellian politician. And so, Italy entered the so-called second republic, characterized by stalemates and infighting, and dominated by other parties and other men, such as Silvio Berlusconi. Arguably among Italy’s most important statesmen, having also served eight times as defence minister and five times as foreign minister, Andreotti will be buried with a small private Mass, not a state funeral befitting of his contributions to the nation. The choice was made by his family, according to Italian media, and is perhaps a reflection of his mixed legacy. The condolences that flowed in also underscored Italy’s uncertain judgment on a figure who dominated discourse for decades. In announcing the death, Rome Mayor Gianni Alemanno called Andreotti “the most representative politician” Italy had known in its recent history. Pier Ferdinando Casini, a centrist political leader, said he was certain that “history will give this statesman a more sober and serious opinion than his detractors made during his life.” President Giorgio Napolitano, at 87 a contemporary of Andreotti, said history would judge his career but he wanted to extend a national salute to a man who represented Italy overseas and in Europe with “exceptional” skill.

Redheads gather in Montreal

THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - A crimson tide engulfed a patch of Montreal Saturday at the city’s firstever gathering of the redheads. The event was organized on Facebook by a ginger-headed Montrealer who wanted to foster a greater sense of community among those who shared her hair colour. It attracted hundreds of enthusiastic participants from all over the province, ranging in age from toddlers to seniors. Only natural redheads were invited. Many who showed up shared memories of growing up with ginger hair - and say it wasn’t always easy because they stuck out. Marilyn Lamonde, a 25-year-old Montrealer, said the event felt a little like the “revenge of the redheads. It’s actually pretty cool, everybody talking about their different stories when they were young getting made fun of,” said Lamonde, who wears her red hair in a bob. “We connect in the way that we all got teased when we were younger.” But the organizer of the Montreal gathering, Celine Dompierre, wanted to focus on the positive. She asked everyone to wear white to the gathering on Montreal’s Mount Royal, and had a professional photographer on hand to take photos, including a massive group shot. Audrey Bisson, a 17-year-old from just outside Montreal, said she made a few friends her age who share her hair colour. “People used to make fun of us, and now we’re here and proud of being redheads.”

NDP asking B.C. voters to trust them

hen Adrian Dix took over as B.C. NDP leader two years ago, he struggled to communicate, especially in the sound bites of radio and TV. There was a running joke in the legislature press gallery: It didn’t matter what question you asked him, you got a six-minute answer that ended with the evils of log exports. Even more than under Carole James, the NDP railed against log exports. “B.C. logs for B.C. jobs” became one of Dix’s favourite slogans. As the election approached, another Dixism was heard daily: “Say what you’re going to do, say how you’re going to pay for it.” So it was a surprise a few weeks ago when the NDP signaled it would essentially not offer a policy on log exports. They’re going to meet with “stakeholders” and come up with a plan after

they get a majority government. This is exactly the same non-policy the NDP had in 2009. They don’t have an answer to the industry’s point that the high price gained by premium logs in foreign markets is what keeps many loggers working, and subsidizes the harvest of other logs for B.C. coastal mills. Another thing the NDP doesn’t like is private power development. This issue featured prominently in the NDP leadership contest two years ago. Leadership contender Mike Farnworth told the party faithful he would study independent power purchase contracts, and if he found that they are not in the public interest, he would “mend them or end them.” Another leadership hopeful, energy critic John Horgan, allowed that he would “break” contracts if necessary. By this spring, Dix had

a new non-position on power purchase contracts. He will “assess them and address them.” The printed platform promises a review “within the limits of existing contracts.” Either they plan to risk a costly legal battle, or they’re just paying lip service. All you have to do to find out is elect them. Labour code changes are another blank slate. A memo from the B.C. Federation of Labour executive to members last year described how they were working closely with

the NDP to rewrite B.C. labour law. The NDP election platform punts this issue until after the election as well, promising an independent expert panel to decide on issues like whether to end secret-ballot votes for union certification. This isn’t just a bad idea, it’s a 30-year-old bad idea. It’s based on the destructive old notion that employers are the enemy of workers, and only a union can protect them. The long decline of union membership in the private sector isn’t caused by employer bullying or secret-ballot votes that protect employees’ freedom of choice. The cause is global competition. The only protection workers have from that is their own efficiency. Balancing the budget? An NDP government will strive to do that over “the business cycle,” says finance critic Bruce

Ralston. Old-timers might remember this one. It’s taken from the NDP’s 1991 election platform. Yes, 22 years ago there was a widespread belief in a predictable four-year cycle of commodity prices and other economic determinants. Whatever was left of that dusty, faded picture was erased with the financial collapse of 2008. If you still believe in a predictable “business cycle,” you may be willing to accept that an NDP-led B.C. will become the first jurisdiction in human history to eliminate poverty, by setting annual targets and paying out borrowed money to low-income parents. On ferries, fracking, union contracts, capital construction and other weighty matters, the NDP’s answer is the same: trust us.

investment in Alberta. Glenn Clark’s 1996-1999 tenure was arguably the most disastrous for BC and with Adrian Dix, Premier Clark’s former Chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very worried about history repeating itself. It took many years for the Liberals to repair the damage. During their time in government, North America suffered through a major recession and yet we now have a triple-A credit rating, higher than the US government, allowing BC taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates Have the Liberals done everything right? Certainly not. The introduction of the HST by the Campbell government was badly handled. There have been other gaffes and ill thought out policies. And while there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change long governing parties, it’s important not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without thinking about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a mountain of debt. I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully. And then get out and vote on May 14. Gwyn Morgan is a retired Businessman who lives in the Greater Victoria Region.

A pseudonym doesn’t save you An editorial from the St. John’s Telegram It’s fun to stir things up online - to post a few zingers in the comments section of a website, especially when you’ve gone to the trouble to try and hide your identity. Who cares if it isn’t true, you might think. Who cares if you don’t even know anything about the issue? It’s just a bit of anonymous fun, repeating things you might have heard from a friend of a friend, or even something funny you’ve made up. Just a few comments to drive other commenters into a frenzy, so that once they start calling you sexist or racist, you can lean back in your computer chair and have a few giggles. Well, that kind of fun just got a little more complicated. That’s because former Toronto Maple Leafs coach Brian?Burke has launched a lawsuit against 18 bloggers and commenters, many of them using pseudonyms, who posted comments suggesting Burke’s firing was precipitated by an affair between Burke and a SportsNet anchor - a relation-

ship that both Burke and the anchor said did not take place. Burke issued a statement about his lawsuit, saying in part, that it was “time to stop people who post comments on the Internet from thinking they can fabricate wild stories with impunity.” One of the anonymous posters? A 20-year-old Ottawa student named Zack Bradley. “It’s a crazy idea, right? a I thought it was just a rumour. I said speculation,” Bradley told the Toronto Star last week. “What I said wasn’t probably true and I just removed it because I don’t want anything bad to happen in the future.” It’s a little late for that. Bradley is a journalism student at Carleton University, so he should probably at least be starting to understand what the concept of libel is. What may be harder for Bradley and others to grasp is that the Internet is not just a wall where you can paint your comments and then simply disappear again into the darkness: not only does it record your comment precisely, but it also tracks the route your comment

took, a route that can later be recovered - which, lawyers suggest, is precisely why Burke has launched an action that names a group of people using pen names. Launching the action starts legal efforts to peel back the layers of the Internet to find the posters’ true identities. Is there a moral in this whole tale? Perhaps that you shouldn’t post things that aren’t true, or that you can’t prove. Five minutes of fun stirring an Internet bees’ nest is hardly worth months of wondering what a lawsuit - even an unsuccessful one - might do to your finances, your sleep and your career. And in case you’ve decided to change your ways and fly straight, turning your back on all the trash-talking of years’ past? There’s only one problem, something that you should really be aware of: the Internet doesn’t forget. All of those comments and the trails back to you and your computer terminal are safely filed away somewhere in the giant permanent filing cabinet that is the World Wide Web, just waiting for someone to ask.

GRAND FORKS

Slash and burn helps deer We would like to thank all our sponsors for this year’s Bull-A-Rama; without their support this year’s event would not have been possible. Bull-A-Rama proudly supports local non-profit organizations. Over the course of the event, we have donated over $200,000 back into the community.

Thank you again to all our sponsors, and thank you to those who came to enjoy an evening of bull riding fun at the Cominco Arena.

BY SASCHA PORTEOUS Grand Forks Gazette

The Grand Forks Wildlife Association is concerned about the declining population of deer and elk in the wild. In order to try and restore the habitat of wild ungulates (hoofed animals), the association is working on a slashing and burning project to inhibit the encroachment of forests into the grasslands. “Many years ago, you used to be able to drive through (the North Fork) and be able to count thousands of mule deer on the south facing slopes from Christina

Lake to Rock Creek,” said Brian Hancock, president of the Grand Forks Wildlife Association. “Now you would be hard pressed to count 100.” Lisa Tedesco, habitat biologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations said that the slashing improves the quality and availability of forage for the deer. “A lot of (shrubs) have grown so tall that they can’t actually reach the new shoots or they aren’t even putting out any new shoots, so there is not a whole lot of nutritional value there,” she said.

Induction ceremony

Champions unveiled By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

After undergoing some last minute polish, the Home of Champions monument will be officially unveiled on Thursday with a grand slam of Greater Trail champions added. Former worldranked kickboxer Terry Yuris will join ski instructor Grant Rutherglen, hockey player Trevor Johnson, and actor Kevin McNulty to augment the 117 local luminaries already etched into the pillar in front of the Kootenay Savings Credit Union on Farwell St. Trail native Yuris is a former Canadian Kickboxing champion, at one point ranked number one in the world. Yuris started practicing karate and transitioned to kickboxing in its formative years. By the time he was 23 Yuris had won 21 of 23 amateur and professional fights, and was one of the top-ranked full-contact karate fighters on the planet, but a promising career was cut short by knee injury. “We knew he was champion, and had risen right to the top in kick boxing so the nomination didn’t need a lot of meat to it,” said Trail Historical Society’s Jamie Forbes. “This is what the whole process is for, is to bring to the public’s attention people in your community that have really excelled in some fashion.” Johnson was nominated on the strength of a stellar hockey career. It all began early for the talented defenceman, as he led the Rossland-Trail Pee Wee reps to a pair of provincial titles in 1995 and 1996. As a 15-year old defenceman he played for the Trail Junior Smokies, then the Beaver Valley Nitehawks before being drafted by and playing three seasons for the Kootenay Ice of the WHL, where he went to the Memorial

Cup in 2000. Johnson also played for the Seattle Thunderbirds and TriCity Americans from 2001-03, and the Muskegon Fury of the International Hockey League where the rookie all-star won a championship. Johnson then took his skills to Italy, and is in his sixth season playing in the Lega Italina Hockey Ghaccio. He is currently playing with the Valpellice HC, and has laced them up for the national team in three IIHF world championships, and is winner of two ‘B’ division world championships. Johnson recently helped the Italian men’s ice hockey team secure another spot in the A division of the International Ice Hockey Federation’s World Cup last month. Rutherglen is no stranger to the international alpine ski scene, he excelled both as a competitor and a coach. The Trail resident is also a recent inductee to the Canadian Ski Coaches Hall of Fame, and has been coaching young skiers for over 40 years. He helped develop the Red Mountain Racer program making it one of the most successful ski programs in North American. Over 30 Red Mountain Racers went on to train with the national team, and Rutherglen coached nine of them. Today the Trail resident is a CSCF level 4 coach and examiner, and continues to develop both the skills and character of young athletes at Red. Actor Kevin McNulty was born in Penticton in 1955, but at the age of three his family moved to Warfield, and later to Rossland. One of his first roles was with the Rossland Light Opera Company where at 16-years-old he played ‘Ole Joe in a production of “Showboat.” After attending Washington State, McNulty graduated from the prestigious

acting program, Studio 58 in Vancouver. He spent two years at the Stratford Festival before going on to act in an eclectic and varied mix of over 150 roles in film, television, and stage. He has worked with such film icons as Katherine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier, as well as contemporary headliners Jessica Alba and Samuel L. Jackson. A prolific and talented actor, his acting credits include roles in the Beach Combers to the X-Files on television, and The Accused to Fantastic 4 on film. McNulty currently plays Mel Ivarson on CBC’s Arctic Air, and resides in Vancouver with his family. All nominees adhere to a strict criteria, and are chosen based on having made a significant contribution to the communities of Greater Trail; or, for having reached a significant level of achievement in his/her chosen field. Nominees are selected from three categories: Sports, Lifestyle and Business/ Science. “They (the Home of Champions board) look at the nominations they’ve received and, they consider them . . . based on the information the nominators provided, the board does not go and seek further information on their own,” said Forbes. The Home of Champions induction ceremony will be held at the Riverbelle on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. followed by the Champions monument unveiling on Farwell St. For more information call 368-9932.

B.V. Nitehawks evaluate prospects

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks had a great turnout for its Spring Camp on the weekend at the Beaver Valley Arena, as nearly 70 skaters were put through the paces by Hawks’ coaching staff, culminating in a mini-tournament that saw Team Grey triumph over Team White in the final.

Hockey round up

Local players even up playoff series WHL Trail native Joey Baker and the Portland Winterhawks evened the series with with Montrose’s Luke Bertolucci and the Edmonton Oil Kings on Saturday with a 3-0 victory in Game 2 of the WHL Championship in Portland, Ore. Edmonton took the first game on Friday by a score of 4-1, thanks to a pair of goals by Henrik Samuelsson and a 35-save performance by Laurent Brossoit. But Game 2 was all Portland as Ty Rattie got his 16th goal of the playoffs and the 46th goal of his WHL playoff career to lead the Portland Winterhawks to a 3-0 win over Edmonton. Rattie scored on a power play midway through the first period, leaves him one shy of tying the WHL record of 47 career playoff markers, set by Mark Pederson of the Medicine Hat Tigers in 1988. More importantly, Rattie’s marker helped the Hawks even up the best-of-seven championship series at a game apiece. The battle for the Ed Chynoweth Cup heads back to Edmonton for Games 3 and 4 tonight and Wednesday.

AHL

Warfield native Craig Cunningham helped the

Providence Bruins stave off Calder Cup elimination in the American Hockey League’s Eastern Conference quarter final on the weekend with a game-tying goal, as the Bruins won two straight on the road against the Hershey Bears to tie the best-of-five series at two games apiece. In Sunday’s Game-4 match, the Bears led 4-3 with three minutes remaining, but Hershey took a delay of game penalty and the Bruins would capitalize. Cunningham took a pass at the left circle and one-timed it by the Bears goalie to tie the game with 2:34 left on the clock. Carter Camper then won it for the Bruins, when he rifled home the winner from the top of the circle with 1:04 remaining, netting a hat trick and forcing game five on Wednesday in the 5-4 victory. Hershey won the opening two matches in Providence, but the Bruins battled back with a 5-1, Game-3 win on Saturday. Cunningham picked up an assist in the game, while Chris Bourque led the way for the Bruins with two goals and an assist, and Niklas Svedberg stopped 30 shots for the Bruins in the victory. The deciding fifth game goes Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. Eastern in Providence, R.I. See ALLEN, Page 12

lasted the Thunder in a tight-checking 2-1 victory Sunday after Wichita had taken a 2-1 series lead in Game-3 Saturday with a 5-2 victory. Robinson was held off the board in Game4 but picked up two assists in the loss Saturday giving him four goals and 14 helpers to sit second overall in playoff scoring.

NHL PLAYOFFS

Sharks look to sweep Canucks THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE, Calif. San Jose Sharks coach Todd McLellan sees no need to remind his team of the precariousness of a 3-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Sharks nearly squandered that advantage the last time they held it, needing the full seven games to eliminate Detroit in the second round two years ago. With many of the same core players still around, McLellan is content to let past experience serve as the teaching tool heading into Game 4 of the series on Tuesday night at the Shark Tank. “We just left it alone,” McLellan said.

“Our group is mature enough. They should know what’s coming, what to expect and how to respond.” Given the comments coming out of the dressing room on Monday, it’s clear McLellan is correct. Players echoed the mantra that the fourth win in a series is always the hardest and insisted nothing had been won yet despite a decisive 5-2 win in Game 3 that followed two narrow victories in Vancouver. “I was here when we went through that and we let a team back into a series,” centre Logan Couture said. “Obviously it went seven games. We were fortunate to win it. We let them back in. That’s something we don’t want to do. We want to put them away in Game 4.” There’s one big difference from that series two years ago when the Sharks eked out three straight one-goal wins to build their cushion over the Red Wings. Their edge over the Canucks so far has been more convincing, especially in the 5-2 thrashing on Sunday. After beating the Sharks in the Western Conference finals and taking a 3-2 lead in the Stanley Cup finals over Boston two years ago, the Canucks have been downright abysmal in the post-season. Vancouver has lost nine of its past 10 playoff games, having also fallen behind 3-0 in the opening round a year ago to Los Angeles before being eliminated in five games. The other big question for the Canucks comes in goal. Schneider allowed five goals on 28 shots and was replaced after giving up three in the opening 4:07 of the third period. Luongo stopped all 10 shots he faced in relief and has a .915 save percentage in the series. Vigneault said he has made a decision about his starter for today, but won’t announce it until after he tells the players.
