Support workers vote for strike action BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff
School District 20 employees who keep Greater Trail schools clean, safe and inclusive have voted to strike after contract negotiations for a higher wage hit a wall last month. Eighty-nine per cent of Canadian Union of Public Employees' 230 local members voted in favour of strike action early this month and await further direction from CUPE Local 1285 board president Cherryl MacLeod. She is in the midst of connecting with School District 20's support workers to explain what was decided at a meeting in Vancouver last week when all 57 CUPE presidents met to plot a strategy moving forward. “I'm not saying we're going to do something in Castlegar and Trail by the end of June that will be disruptive,” she told the Times. “It might be an information line, it might be a study session. There are all kinds of things we could do.” CUPE represents school bus drivers, custodians, clericals, maintenance, tech and trades, education assistance, childcare and child and
youth care workers and aboriginaleducation employees. The average wage for a CUPE K-12 worker is $24,000 a year, according to a CUPE press release. The local is looking to send a message, following contract negotiations that didn't result in what the union calls “job security” or a pay increase – a raise that hasn't occurred since 2009. A similar story is being heard across the province. BC Public School Employers' Association, the bargaining arm for boards of education, met with union representatives from the 57 unions banded together over the winter and into the spring. More than half of these locals have now taken local strike votes with the rest expected to be completed by the end of June. “I'm happy that the strike votes are going well but I'm just as frustrated,” said MacLeod. “We don't want anything unreasonable. We don't want anything more than other public sector groups have achieved and we don't understand why we're being singled out and told, 'There is no money for you.'” See MONEY, Page 3

The search for a Trail man, presumed drowned at Little Wilson Lake near New Denver, was suspended on Monday evening. Michael Lorne Guthrie, a 32-yearold Trail resident, was identified in an RCMP press release on Tuesday, as the person reported missing after the canoe he was fishing in capsized on Saturday. Search and Rescue along with RCMP personnel searched the scene initially without success. The RCMP underwater recovery team and RCMP helicopter were on scene early Monday but unable to locate Guthrie after searching the

last location he was seen. “The RCMP are in the process of arranging to have sonar equipment brought to the scene for use by the divers,” said Kootenay Boundary RCMP Sergeant Darryl Little in the release. “It is hopeful the search will resume in the next day or two.” Local Search and Rescue will continue to search the shoreline until the sonar equipment arrives. Little Wilson Lake is located in high-alpine and very cold this time of year. It is described as approximately 63 acres in size with an average depth of 39 feet, with areas over 80 feet in depth.

oday, I will take a break from the beginner bridge columns and discuss a hand that happened last year in Nelson. Their game is every Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. at the senior’s centre beside the Capitol Theatre. The bidding: North opens one heart and partner responds one spade showing four or more spades and six plus points. South counts his tricks and realizes he will make game opposite a minimum hand from partner. The four heart bid indicates that North has 18 or more points. Since South has ten high card points and a
long good suit, they are close enough to try for a small slam. Partner thought for a bit and raised me to six. He then put down a ten-point dummy and I made seven in a hand (a trump was led not a diamond) where, out of the five times, it was played, once in a partial and the rest in game. One defender looked at dummy and said how can my partner go to slam with ten points opposite my 18. I realized then that I had not even counted my fourteen points because I knew I had enough tricks for game. I certainly had, because opposite ten

His singleton ended up not being that important because that was my singleton as well. Thing of note. Things I liked about my hand were: – there was not anything I really disliked about my hand – a long suit to the ace and king. This is hardly worth only seven points or even ten points counting the length points. It is much more. It is probably more than half of the total tricks.

Boundary expansion plan formalized by council
Cat comfort
By Sheri Regnier Times Staff
Art Harrison photo
Dustin McRae offers a bit of comfort to an SPCA cat during the association’s annual two-day open house on the weekend. Local manager Danielle Jackman said the event was a success and saw 15 cats and one dog finding a new home.
During Monday night’s Trail council meeting, a formal motion was passed to soldier on with its proposed boundary expansion into Area A (Columbia Gardens). However, before the agreement between Teck Trail Operations and the City of Trail is submitted to the province for ratification, a study update is required and a disposition of concerns will need to be addressed. “With respect to the existing report it is recognized that it is based on 2011 financial information,” explained David Perehudoff, chief administrative officer. He confirmed that Urban Systems Ltd., the company who completed the 2012 boundary expansion study, has been hired to update the information. In a report to Perehudoff, Urban Systems said that the focus of the work will be financial updates, with the intent to provide current assessment, budget and tax information so that the city can proceed with discussions around service impacts and revenue-sharing options. Additionally, included in the update will be: current assessment values for the study area properties; 2013 assessment values for existing jurisdictions and service areas; City of Trail and regional district financial plans for 2013; and city and rural area tax rates. Urban Systems noted in its report that the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development continues to encourage a focus on consideration of the Waneta Dam as a regional asset, with a specific focus on mitigation of impacts to the Beaver Valley Parks and Recreational Trail Services
(BVPARKS). “Beaver Valley is not the approving authority with respect to this matter,” explained Perehudoff. “The province is, and this matter has been discussed with the province on several occasions,” he said. “And their direction is that there is no requirement to provide full mitigation.” Perehudoff explained that what the province has noted is that the city must come up with a reasonable offer within the financial parameters of the extension and implications on the city as well as the regional services impacted. The 2012 Urban Systems study suggested that the Beaver Valley communities pool the revenue from the dam that the city would provide, but the net loss would be about $374,000. And that revenue loss would inevitably come at a cost to the taxpayer of the affected communities. However, Area A director Ali Grieve said that raising taxes to meet the shortfall is not an option. “We have the support of the Beaver Valley residents who will be making sure that they will not be paying for the gains of Trail and Teck,” she said. “There is a lot of money coming out of Waneta Dam and more to come in the future once the (dam) expansion is complete. “The stakeholders will address what a fair cost sharing formula is.” Fruitvale Mayor Patricia Cecchini met with council on Monday to discuss its bottom line position. “This will have a huge impact on the Beaver Valley,” said Cecchini.
She explained that tax revenue funds are used to maintain recreational services in all its shared facilities, including the arena and parks. “We are opposed to any expansion process that is a detriment to the Beaver Valley and its impacts on taxpayers. “We are prepared to participate in discussions with all stakeholders to come up with a solution that ensures the needs of the Beaver Valley residents are met now and in the future.” The net impact may improve depending on the updated financial figures derived from the updated Urban Systems report and the final negotiated mitigation figure is realized, said Perehudoff. “Within the first Urban Systems report, there is currently a proposal that provides a revenue transfer of $220,000 of the $374,000 that the BVPARKS and Recreation Service would lose,” he explained. “This would mean a $54 increase in property taxes to a $200,000 home in Beaver Valley if the service did not reduce its level of spending, which may not necessarily be unreasonable. Perehudoff said that it is noted that when the 2013 report is completed, this number may be reduced further and will then form the starting point for further negotiations as part of the referral process. “The city must deal fairly with the service but in no way is the city required to provide full compensation for the revenue lost,” he added. The BVPARTS is a service between Fruitvale, Montrose and Area A that was re-established after regional recreation dissolved in 2009.
Money available to district dictated by province
FROM PAGE 1 The Liberal government’s cooperative gains mandate says wage increases in the public sector are permissible this year only if the parties identify savings elsewhere. This is different from the 2010 net-zero mandate, which also required savings to offset wage but only if found in the collective agreement. “Our school district at home gets ‘X’ number of dollars from Victoria,” MacLeod explained. “If or when we are successful at getting a raise, it has to come out of what they’re already sending.”

In an email reply, SD20 superintendent of schools Greg Luterbach refused to comment because, he said, both sides agreed not to bargain through the media. Significant monetary and job issues are negotiated at the provincial level while other issues are worked out between union locals and local school boards. SD20 board chair Darrel Ganzert feels for CUPE and understands where they’re coming from but said the board was limited at the bargaining table because most requests had a monetary impact. “For a group of trustees, who cannot

raise taxes and simply rely on what money we get from the government, all we are faced with doing is laying more people off,” he said. “Our system is stretched so thin now and it’s more than embarrassing when you take a look at the state of our schools. They’re not as clean as they used to be, most all of them need paint and many of them need new roofs.” Local school boards are already dealing with downloaded costs, he said, but he fears that the province will negotiate a settlement, pay the first year and then expect the school districts to pay the sub-
sequent years. In the meantime, he worries the district will again be dragged through a bargaining process but noted that support workers offer an essential service so there will be limitations on what their job action can look like. “We just had a year-long teachers’ strike that was absolutely ugly in terms of teacher morale and moving forward educationally as a district,” he said. “There was so much put on hold and so many bad feelings were generated and now there is a potential for more of the same.”

Professional Cook Training
BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press
VICTORIA – The B.C. government will go ahead with its plan for Albertastyle senate elections if it proves impossible to scrap the senate altogether, Premier Christy Clark said this week. Clark issued a statement in response to the controversy over senate expense claims that has gripped Ottawa. On record as preferring the senate be scrapped, Clark declined to comment on federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s statement to a Montreal newspaper that the senate should be preserved because Quebec has 24 senators and Alberta and B.C. have only six each. “It’s true British Columbians have long been troubled by an unelected
senate, but it should be fixed or folded and not a distraction,” Clark said. “The Prime Minister invited us to move the process of senate reform forward. To that end, we have moved legislation in the house before the election that would make a senate election possible. It has not been passed and it will not be re-introduced until there is clarity from the Supreme Court.” Clark added: “We need to remember the fact that B.C. and the West is dramatically under-represented in the unelected senate.” The federal government has asked the Supreme Court of Canada to rule on whether it can abolish the senate, or impose term limits and a provincial election requirement on new senators appointed.

Anyone buying or renewing home insurance should be compelled by law to first declare they have a working smoke alarm. That’s the legislative change now being sought by the Fire Chiefs Association of B.C. (FCABC) in the latest phase of their campaign to get working smoke alarms into every home in the province. The proposed change to B.C.’s Insurance Act has backing from the City of Nelson and Cariboo Regional District and FCABC president Len Garis expects other cities and regions to endorse it. “We don’t expect insurance companies to enforce the working smoke alarm declarations,” Surrey’s fire chief said. “The intent is to use insurance renewals to educate the public about

When former B.C. Liberal MLA John Les tabled senate election legislation in 2011, Clark made her preference clear. “I think that if we could, under the constitution, we should abolish the senate,” Clark said at the time, adding that electing senators would be the next best thing. Prime Minister Stephen Harper returned to the House of Commons Tuesday to face opposition questions on the conduct of Senators Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin, whose expense claims have come under scrutiny. Both have left the Conservative caucus to sit as independents, along with former Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau and Liberal Mac Harb, whose expenses are also subject to an audit.

fine has risen from $75 to $100. For stage two, which imposes restrictions on washing sidewalks, driveways, walls and roofs, the fine doubles from $100 to $200. Violating stage three, which bans lawn sprinkling altogether and tightens restrictions on washing cars, boats and “outdoor surfaces” as well as filling or refilling swimming pools, will result in a $300 fine, up from $200. For stage four, the most restrictive, which bans virtually all outdoor watering, the fine increases to $400 from $300. Residents can report neighbours who violate water restrictions to the Township bylaw enforcement office. Stage one water restrictions will be in effect in Langley and all other Lower Mainland municipalities from June 1 to September 30. During that time, residential lawn sprinkling is only allowed from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. at even-numbered addresses on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday and at odd-numbered addresses on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. In July, stage three water restrictions will be applied to East Langley, as they have every year since 2009 because of concerns about potentially low water wells.

Harper offers little information on Senate scandal THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The House of Commons took on the aura of an inquisition Tuesday as Stephen Harper was grilled for the first time in Parliament about the role his office played in the Senate spending scandal. Eschewing the histrionics and partisan broadsides that normally dominate question period, opposition leaders posed short, sharp, relentless queries about when the prime minister learned his chief of staff had personally footed the $90,000 bill for Sen. Mike Duffy’s invalid expense claims. The onslaught elicited no new information as Harper stuck resolutely to his story that Wright acted on his own, without informing the prime minister or anyone else in his office. NDP Leader Tom Mulcair showed off his skill as a lawyer, peppering Harper with 14 pointed questions:
Tory workers won’t co-operate with robocall investigation THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Canada’s chief electoral officer is confirming for the first time that Conservative party workers have failed to co-operate with his investigation of fraudulent robocalls. Marc Mayrand appeared before a House of Commons committee Tuesday where he asked MPs once again for legal changes that would give the elections watchdog greater power to compel testimony from witnesses. Elections Canada has been recommending greater investigative powers since 2010, without government movement. “Indeed, the investigations into deceptive calls have made us keenly aware that the Commissioner of Canada Elections needs better tools to do his work,” Mayrand said in his prepared remarks to the procedure and House affairs committee. “Good rules are of little use if they cannot be enforced.” Under questioning from NDP MP Craig Scott, Mayrand confirmed media reports that the Conservative party’s lawyer took three months to
respond to robocalls inquiries from Elections Canada after the 2011 election campaign - an investigation that is still ongoing. Mayrand declined to comment on a recent Federal Court judgment in which Judge Richard Mosley sharply criticized Conservative party legal tactics in a civil case concerning fraudulent 2011 campaign calls. “I think we’ll let everyone draw their own conclusions from the judgment of Justice Mosley, which speaks for itself,” said Mayrand. However speaking to reporters later, Mayrand cited evidence that three Conservative campaign workers in Guelph, Ont., refused to speak to investigators and that scheduled meetings were cancelled at the last minute. Under changes proposed by Elections Canada, the investigating commissioner’s office could get a court order compelling witnesses to consent to an interview. Mayrand said that when individuals refuse to speak to investigators, it can’t always be characterized as refusing to co-operate.
“When did the prime minister first speak with Nigel Wright about Mike Duffy’s expenses?” he asked. “How many times did he speak with Nigel Wright in the week preceding his resignation?” Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau followed suit. “Will the prime minister commit to releasing all records, emails, documents and correspondence relating to any arrangement between Mr. Wright and Mr. Duffy?” Trudeau asked. “Will the prime minister commit to having everyone involved in this affair, including himself, testify about their involvement in a public forum, under oath?” Harper committed to nothing and offered little new information. He insisted he first learned on May 15 that Wright had cut a personal cheque to pay for Duffy’s invalid expense claims. “Until the morning of May 15, when Mr.
Wright informed me that he had written a personal cheque to Mr. Duffy so that he could repay his expenses, it had been my understanding that Mr. Duffy had paid from his own personal resources,” Harper told the Commons. Trudeau pointed out that the first news report about Wright’s involvement surfaced on the evening of May 14 and included a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office assuring that no public funds had been used to repay Duffy’s claims. “Is the prime minister not aware, so completely, about what is going on in his own office that he did not know the night before when the news broke?” The grilling took place shortly before the start of a meeting of the secretive Senate committee studying Duffy’s improper expenses. Conservatives on the internal economy committee were expected to put forward a motion to hold
the meeting in public. in an interview that he The Liberals also discussed the review of suggest that commit- Duffy’s expenses with tee chairman David Wright, who resigned Tkachuk should step five days after his 2.833 x 4involvement in the down. Tkachuk revealed affair came to light.

hristy Clark’s recent assertion that British Columbia didn’t need the federal government or Alberta reveals why Canada’s founding fathers were concerned about provincial politicians: thinking in isolation harms the interests of all Canadians. The context of her remark, made during the election, was how B.C. could become an energy superpower if more natural gas was developed and delivered through pipelines, as opposed to “allowing” oil pipelines to crisscross British Columbia more than they already do. In particular, Clark’s position on the Northern Gateway pipeline, articulated last year, is based on extracting compensation from Alberta or the federal government. (She also demanded deals with Aboriginals and environmental protection but those are de rigeur these days and thus superfluous.) Clark’s pay-to-play ultimatum is silly and I say this as a temporarily exiled British Columbian. The constitution is clear that resource revenues belong to the provinces. And if
Ottawa should it begin paying off premiers to “allow” national resource development there will be no end to diverted federal tax revenues or the impairment of national prosperity. And then there’s the risk of retaliation – British Columbia’s government might need a friendly Alberta government one day. As Calgary Herald columnist Don Braid noted recently, courtesy of the Alberta Premier’s office, “50 per cent of B.C.’s growing natural gas production crosses Alberta to get to market.” Alberta’s politicians could just as easily demand a cut of revenues from that interprovincial flow as B.C.’s politicians do from any proposed new oil pipeline. What is good for the B.C. “goose” is just as easily extracted from the B.C. “gander.” When provincial politicians protect their own constitutional turf, or object to federal transfers that rob taxpayers in policy-smart provinces to subsidize policy-challenged governments in others, they are on solid ground. But protectionist politicking undermines greater Canadian prosperity, which is why so many

founding fathers opposed such provincialism. In 1865, George Brown, the Upper Canada parliamentarian, complained that a trip to Nova Scotia or New Brunswick was like visiting a foreign country, where a “customs officer meets you at the frontier, arrests your progress, and levies his imposts on your effects.” This led Brown to argue “heartily for the union, because it will throw down the barriers of trade, and give us control of a market of four million people.” As a Royal Commission from 1940 on Dominionprovincial relations looking back to 1867 noted: “Economically, the first objectives of Confederation were to establish a freetrade area comprising the five old provinces and to develop inter-provincial
transportation facilities.” Before Confederation, the provinces imposed tariffs and duties on each other’s goods, which punished consumers and business with higher prices and dampened the potential for greater economic growth in British North America. Post-Confederation, provincial attempts to block interprovincial trade were annoyingly constant. It is why the Dominion government disallowed 65 pieces of provincial legislation in the first 30 years after Confederation when such laws interfered with the greater prosperity of the country. That power of disallowance is a power the federal government retains today, even though it is rarely exercised. So what’s the relevance to the present? At Confederation, duties and tariffs were the main hindrance to interprovincial trade. Today, provinces often use the environmental excuse to block investment and development, even though Canada has plenty of environmental safeguards. Such provincial thinking is shortsighted and more history is helpful to make the point.
Provincial economies wax and wane and the provinces need each other more than some people think. Prior to the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914, British Columbia’s lumber was uneconomical to ship off the continent. The 1940 Royal Commission observed how British Columbia’s forest industry, pre-Panama Canal, was “almost entirely dependent on the Prairie Provinces” because the Prairies were the only accessible market. Sound familiar? When done right and accounting for the environment – and it can be done right – and whether lumber, mined materials, or the export of oil and natural gas, Canada’s greater prosperity is enhanced when politicians follow the advice of Canada’s founding fathers and consider the greater prosperity of the entire country. The newly re-elected B.C. premier therefore has a choice: she can continue with provincial politicking or do what is best for all of Canada and indeed, even for British Columbia: take a national view.

The Toronto Star, Ford alleges, is running a vendetta against him, targeting him, hounding him, but he has not filed any legal action against the newspaper. If Ford believes the Star has acted maliciously in defaming him and damaging his reputation, then he is entitled to bring a suit. He may yet do so over the crack video, though when it comes to public figures the media has more latitude to comment than would be the case with an average citizen. And it no longer involves just the Star. On Saturday, the Toronto Globe and Mail published a lengthy probe alleging Rob Ford’s siblings were involved in drug dealing. This prompted Ford to engage in a rant against the media on his Sunday call in radio show. Choosing to run for office implies a higher level of personal scrutiny and requires, whether it is fair or not, a higher level of good judgment and personal comportment. Is the Toronto Star out to get Ford? One could argue that it is, in the sense that it is reporting on every questionable decision the mayor makes. The more accurate explanation is that Mayor Rob Ford’s actions and choices make him the author of his own media misfortune. Troy Media Columnist Terry Field is an associate professor and program chair of the journalism major in the Bachelor of Communication program at Mount Royal University, in Calgary, Alberta.

LOCAL Volunteers needed for annual Bat Count SUBMITTED The Kootenay Community Bat Project is seeking volunteers for the annual Bat Count. This citizen-science initiative encourages residents to count bats at known roost sites to provide valuable information on bat populations. “This event is a wonderful opportunity for residents who care about wildlife to be involved in collecting valuable information” says Juliet Craig, Coordinating Biologist for the Kootenay Community Bat Project. “They don’t need any special skills and kids can be involved.” The Bat Count is being promoted by the Kootenay Community Bat Project (KCBP) in BC to collect baseline data on bat populations before the devastating White Nose Syndrome enters the province. “White Nose Syndrome is decimating bat populations in eastern North America” says Craig. “We are lucky that this disease is not yet in B.C. but it may just be a matter of time. Monitoring bat populations may indicate sudden declines associated with White Nose Syndrome.” Serving the West Kootenay

Large colony of yuma bats in attic of local house. Residents wait outside a known roost site, such as a bat-house, barn, bridge or attic, and count bats as they fly out at twilight. They can video the emergence or use a hand tally counter to count the bats as they fly out. They record the final count along with some basic information on weather conditions. Two counts are done between June 1 and 21 before pups are born, and two more between July 21 and August 15 when pups are flying with their mothers. “We know relatively little about bats including basic information on population numbers” says Craig. “This information will be extremely valuable, particularly if it is collected annually. If people want to get involved but don’t have a roost site on their property, we do our best to match them to a roost site nearby.” Funded by the Columbia Basin Trust, the KCBP also provides support for landowners dealing with bat issues on their property. To download Bat Count instructions and data forms, to register for the bat count, or to get assistance dealing with bat issues, visit www.kootenaybats.com under the ‘Get Involved’ link or call 1-855-9BC-BATS.

RSS golfers win bronze BY JIM BAILEY
Time Sports Editor
Rossland Secondary School went out on a high note as it hosted what was literally the final round of the B.C. Single-A high school golf championship at Birchbank on Tuesday. With the imminent closing of RSS, it was only appropriate that the golf team should be in the hunt for a top three finish and with Tyler McKay leading the way the RSS fivesome won a bronze medal at the provincial championship. Eight teams and 40 golfers teed off in the second and final round of the event with defending champion Immaculata out of Kelowna leading the way, and Kimberley golfer Jared Dutoit holding a six-stroke lead over RSS golfer McKay after Monday’s opening round. McKay sat tied for second place after carding a 1-over-par 73, trailing Dutoit who made six birdies and one bogie to finish at 5-under, 67. But in wet conditions and a six-stroke lead, Dutoit was uncatchable as he shot an even par 72 to win the high school championship. “My goal was to win obviously,” said Dutoit, “I tried to go two rounds in the 60s but today I came up a little short, but I’m pretty happy with the result.” McKay seemed to have a solid hold on second place at the turn. The Rossland native had a three shot lead on Steven Lee from Immaculata who posted a 4-over 40 on the front nine, while McKay carded a 39. The 17-year-old started off the back nine with a birdie on the par-5 434 yard 10th, but bogies on 12 and 17, kept Lee close. On the par-5 18th McKay stepped up and drove a 280 yard drive to the bend of the 506 yard dog leg. He then took out an 18-degree hybrid and from 224 yards, stuck it to within six feet of the pin. However, his eagle putt just slid by the hole, and McKay would settle for birdie and an even par 36 on the back nine. That would make all the

BY TIMES STAFF Rossland Secondary School hosts the B.C. Single-A high school senior girls soccer championships beginning tomorrow, in what will be the last such high school tournament to be held at the school. Sixteen teams from across the province will travel to Rossland for the three-day event. The teams are seeded then divided into four pools of four teams, playing some 40 games on area fields, including Rossland, Haley Park, J. L. Crowe, and Sunningdale. The RSS Royals begin its final bid for a provincial championship on Thursday at 9 a.m. against St. Ann’s Academy in Rossland.
The opening ceremonies will go at 12:30 p.m. at RSS followed by the Royals second match versus Fraser Lake at 2 p.m. The Royals play their final match of the round robin Friday against Pemberton at noon on the pitch at RSS. The first-place teams from each pool will play in the semifinal matches at Rossland and Haley Park, respectively, in Warfield at 4 p.m. Friday afternoon. Games will continue at the various fields throughout the day for placement on Friday and Saturday with the gold medal game going at 1 p.m. in Rossland.

Tyler McKay tees off with a monster drive on 18 that would lead to birdie and guarantee himself a bronze medal along with his Rossland Team at the B.C. Single-A high school golf championship at Birchbank on Tuesday. difference as Lee caught fire, birdieing 12, 14, 16, and 18 to finish with a scorching 32 on the back nine. Lee’s second round 72 was good enough to eclipse McKay by one stroke for a two round total of 147, while McKay finished with a 75, and 148 total - identical to his performance at the 2011 provincial championship. “It was a good round, both rounds were good,” said McKay. “My ball striking isn’t quite up to what it usually is this week, but I managed to get around and 4-over-par over two days I can’t complain.” Despite the rainy weather, course conditions remained in good shape, but players had to alter their game to suit the conditions. “You probably take an extra
club or half-club into the green because it will land softer and won’t release out as much, and the ball is going to go a little shorter when it’s colder,” said Dutoit. Dutoit, who will attend the University of Idaho on a golf scholarship in August, managed five birdies on the day to go with three bogeys and a double-bogey for an even 72, and 139 total. As for the other RSS players, Braden McKay, coming off a wrist injury, shot a brilliant 1-over 73 to finish in a tie for seventh spot overall and a 154 total. Brenan Moroney shot a 79 Tuesday for a tie for 15th, while Jeff Ashton came in with an 86, and Wyatte Henderson a 90 over the second round. See FITTING, Page 10

Last year, Terry Jones’ leadership class organized the largest basketball event ever to hit the hard court in the Silver City, and the group of students is hoping to make it even bigger and better this year. “Our goal is 100 per cent participation and raising $8,000,” said Jones in an email. “We raised $4,500 last year so we hope this is an achievable goal.” The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Hoops for Hearts is a 3-on-3 in-school fundraising basketball program.

while Selkirk led by Dutoit came second at 635, and Rossland Secondary third at 641. The RSS golf team’s bronze medal at its final Single-A provincial high school championship is a fitting end to a great RSS sporting legacy. “It’s unfortunate the school has to
close,” said McKay. “Hopefully if we can hang on and get a top five finish, I think that will make the school pretty proud for the last event ever.” McKay will attend Lindenwood University in Missouri on a scholarship in August. See scoreboard for final results.

sary watching her play Internet games, and when we finally got into bed, she pushed me away, telling me to leave her alone. We had a big argument, and she said she doesn’t love me and only stays because of our 30-yearold son. She also said I need her because of her insurance. Annie, I am afraid I am going to die alone and in pain. I am looking at a bottle of pills, wondering whether I should take them and simply get out of her way. -- Rejected Dear Rejected: Please don’t. Your wife isn’t looking to divorce. The main problem is that she’s no longer
time around. Here’s the problem: I have been training for months to run a full marathon that happens to be scheduled the same day as the wedding. I didn’t know about the wedding until after I’d already signed up for the marathon. Although I’d be finished running by the time the ceremony begins, it’s three hours away and a long drive after a physically and emotionally intense event. My dad says it’s really important to him that I go, and so do my siblings. But I’m turning 30 soon and am weary of Dad’s immaturity. Should I go to both events? Should I put my needs first and not go at all? - LongDistance Runner Dear Running: We think you should make an effort to go, even if it means arriving late. He’s still your father, and your presence matters to him. And who knows? Maybe the
third time’s the charm. Dear Annie: I’m 73 and have been sending emails for quite awhile. I don’t remember hearing that all caps means shouting. For many of us, finding the “Caps Lock” button is already an accomplishment. The alternatives you
suggested to enlarge the lettering is so beyond our abilities, they could have been in a foreign language. I can’t imagine any seniors getting upset about receiving a letter all in caps, even if it were shouting. Many of us are also hard of
hearing. -- N.D. Rose Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net

interested in sex. She believes (and perhaps rightly) that being around you means she will feel pressured to be intimate. So she avoids you by spending time online or with Mom. The two of you have decisions to make. Is she willing to have sex on occasion? Are you willing to live without it? Are there other accommodations you could reach regarding intimacy? Please discuss these issues honestly and openly. If you find it too difficult to start this conversation, talk to your doctor about a referral to a marriage counselor. Dear Annie: My dad is getting remarried on Labor Day weekend. Though I’m happy for him, this will be his third marriage. I went to the last two ceremonies. During his most recent marriage, he put his new family’s needs ahead of those of my siblings and me from the “old marriage.” I’m expecting the same this

Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 34 years. I changed jobs so I could have better hours and pay and more time with my wife and son. Eighteen months ago, I went on disability due to severe arthritis. A few years back, I noticed that my wife was coming up with reasons for us not to have sex. She said my work hours kept her up too late, and then she played Internet games all night. A year ago, her father died, and she claims she has to stay with Mom five nights a week. In the past eight months, we’ve had sex twice. I never forget an occasion and bought her lovely gifts for Valentine’s Day, her birthday and our anniversary. She got me nothing. She could have asked her brother to stay with Mom, but didn’t. I spent my birthday alone, without even a phone call. I spent our anniver-

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Thursday, May 30, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) In the next six weeks, you’ll identify more strongly with your beliefs. This is why you will be keen to get others to agree with you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Do not get caught up in thinking your possessions or bank account is really who you are. This might be the case in the next month or so. Be aware of this. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Mars is in your sign now and for the next six weeks. Make sure you get extra physical exercise to burn off some of this pent-up steam building within you. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Secrets and people working against your best interests might be the case for the next month or so. Nevertheless, you will discover what you need to

learn. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Expect to be active with groups, especially competitively, during the next six weeks. Or one person in particular might challenge you to excel in some way. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your ambition will be aroused in the next two months, which is why you will try hard to make your mark in the world. Just make sure you don’t create conflict with bosses. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You will love exploring creative intellectual work and study in the next month. In fact, you will want to do anything that expands your mind. Learn something new! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Disputes with others about shared property might occur in the next six weeks. This is not a good time to go for a
loan or a mortgage. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because Mars will be opposite your sign for the next six weeks, it’s easy to be annoyed with others. Keep this in mind and just be patient. Cut people some slack. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) In the next two months, you will be gung-ho to clean up your act. Buy paint,
cleaning equipment, shelving, file folders, labels -whatever you need to get better organized. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Romance and playful excursions will be tops on the list for you in the next month. Take a vacation if you can. Time for fun! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Renovations and increased activity at home might
be exhausting. Practice patience with loved ones, because anger only serves to make everyone miserable. YOU BORN TODAY You love speed, and you love your freedom. You are not someone who is happy with routine because you thrive on thrills and change. You have a quick mind and are skillful at many tasks. Even your moods change quickly! In the year ahead, a major change might take place,
