Trail artist Ursula Abresch opens her exhibit, “Graffiti: Time and Elements” tonight at 7 p.m. in the VISAC Gallery on Helena Street in downtown Trail. Abresch’s exploration into urban art includes 50 pieces of close up photography, that weave a tale about Canada, painted on the sides of old trains.
Artist displays beauty of graffiti BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
Sometimes accompanying a husband to the lumber yard can be inspiring. Such was the case with artist Ursula Abresch, an art photographer from Trail. “A few years ago my husband was buying some wood in Castlegar by the train track,” she said. “I had an hour to wander around, and there was a train parked nearby.” Abresch said an eye-catching piece of graffiti signed by “Labrona,” was painted on the side of the train. “It was such a beautiful piece, obviously done by an artist, so I began to wonder who ‘Labrona’ is.” Once home, after a quick Internet search, Abresch discovered that Labrona is a Canadian artist living in Quebec, who sells his work in galleries but is known
for street art, such as train graffiti. “Then it struck me that there are other artists out there who paint on trains,” she said.
“But why would anybody with that much ability go out in the middle of the night on the sly to do this?” URSULA ABRESCH
“But why would anybody with that much ability go out in the middle of the night on the sly to do this?” Abresch found it intriguing that an artist would send his work out on the side of a train and probably never see it again, nor receive monetary gain.
“And yet they send this gorgeous art out into the world for people to enjoy.” Abresch’s unusual and somewhat haunting photographs are taken up close, so that each piece looks like a brightly coloured, abstract painting. Her photography style, or “photoimpressionism,” creates intricate details of the original graffiti and its wear, created by the elements over time. “As I started to look closer, I began to notice the interaction between the graffiti and how over time, the paint cracked, or was scratched or not quite dry when the original work was done,” she explained. “I am not interested in making a picture of the graffiti itself, but I am interested in taking little pieces of it and creating a new story,” To view Abresch’s work, visit ursulasphotos.com or call 364-1181.
Thinking about turning your dream of owning a business into reality? Then you’re in good company because Community Futures of Greater Trail has experienced business mentors ready to explore the possibilities and eager to turn the dream into a reality. Having launched and sold a highly successful company out of the Community Futures business incubator, general manager Don Freschi is ready to lend his business acumen to the next generation of innovators and visionaries. Earlier this year, life went full circle for Freschi when he accepted this position. “I came from Firebird with a business background,” he said. “After that contract ended, I thought I would like to give back to the community somehow, and this was the best way.” Community Futures of Greater Trail, located on Spokane Street next to the post office, offers new business start-up mentorships and support to those with an entrepreneurial spirit. “Community Futures provides many programs but our main purpose is business mentoring,” explained Freschi. “We will help with strategies on how to start and maintain your business and how to make it better.” Freschi said that the succession planning courses and workshops are free, with online virtual work shops available for a small fee. “We want people to know about these opportunities, because we are all about building a successful business within the community.” Costs for long-term leases, business signage, or necessary office equipment and furniture are alleviated with the South Kootenay Business Centre, located inside the building. “For $350 to $400 a month (lease-free), our furnished office spaces can start you off, everything is supplied to you,” said Freschi. “It is important for the community to know that we are here and ready to help.” A recent initiative called the Micro Loan program provides entrepreneurs a loan of up to $10,000 to improve cash flow, purchase equipment, improve inventory or use as working capital. “For example, if you need to buy a new lawn mower or patio furniture to maintain your business, we can help,” he said.

It’s not unusual to see bicycles in downtown Trail but taking a stroll down the back alley between Bay and Pine avenues leaves your head spinning. Suspended from fire escapes and hanging on walls and veranda railings their are about half a dozen bikes, some painted in bright colours, some home to flower baskets, and others just unlikely situated. Two are perched above the back door to Casa di Cioccolato, a chocolate and tea shop located on Bay
Avenue. “I take responsibility for them,” owner Dan Haley, said with a smile. “It’s totally whimsical, I had the one old bike out front and somebody saw it and gave me another and it just kind of went from there.” Haley calls his little exercise in whimsy, “community development from within.” He is hoping that by making even the back alleys of downtown Trail more attractive, it might encourage more people to take the time to walk around and develop more of an appreciation for the city’s core.
Haley recently moved back to the area after being away for years, most recently having lived in Tofino. He believes Trail is a beautiful place, if seen from the right perspective. “Trail has got a lot to offer, I think this is a beautiful area,” he said. “I love walking around West Trail, with all the little streets and staircases, (or) just looking at the houses.” His efforts in the alleyway are also reflected on the street side of his shop, where he has placed pennies into the sidewalk in front of the entrance and keeps flowers
on display. “I’m trying to improve the street appearance in the area and I think it’s starting to spin off,” Haley said. “You see some of the other businesses starting to renovate their store fronts. “I’d like to see more people walking around down here, we’ve got more people moving into our community, many between their 20s and their 50s and I think they like little shops like this,” he added. “I can’t draw more people downtown on my own, I need help from everybody. We all have to believe this is going to happen.”

Nelson Star At least two elderly Nelson residents fell victim to a telephone fraud scam in the past two weeks. Nelson RCMP is warning the public about a scam that successfully netted $4,000 in total. In this scam, a person claiming to be a distant relative currently in jail calls the victim asking money to be “wired” within the hour to his lawyer to get out of jail. The amount is usually $2000. A second person joins the conversation playing the role of the lawyer. “At that point, the ‘lawyer’ will provide his/her name and provide instructions as to how to send the money via an electronic money transfer and that you will be reimbursed the money in days to follow once the relative is out of jail,”
says a release issued by the RCMP. Instructions require the victim to call a telephone number to advise that the money has been sent. The person playing the role of the lawyer is “insistent” the victim not tell anyone, especially the police, about the request and any money being sent. “Nelson RCMP want to remind the public not to act on any request or to share any personal information with person(s) and/or business(es) who have not provided you with the sufficient documentation to satisfy their identity and credibility,” warn police. To report a fraud, contact your local police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. The Canadian AntiFraud Centre can be contacted toll free at 1-888-495-8501.

Celebrating Sanctuary’s 15 th Anniversary
Thompson Lerose & Brown is Sanctuary’s Corporate Sponsor for June
THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The last massive earthquake that shook the south coast of British Columbia took place on the cold winter night of Jan. 26, 1700, say researchers who have been able to use sediment samples taken from the sea floor off the coast of Vancouver Island to reveal the Pacific coast’s seismic history. In a study published Wednesday, the team said the region that stretches from the northern tip of Vancouver Island down the coast to northern California has experienced 22 major earthquakes over the last 11,000 years, and is due for another. Audrey Dallimore, of the School of Environment and Sustainability at Royal Roads University and the author of the study, said the research showed earthquakes occur every 500 to 1,000 years. The last one took place 313 years ago. “What that means is we’re due for another subduction zone earthquake either tomorrow — or 700 years from now,” she said. “(It) may happen within our lifetimes and will certainly happen at some time over the life of our communities and our infrastructures.”

Fort McMurray at ‘mercy of Mother Nature’ as community battles flooding THE CANADIAN PRESS Volunteers are filling sandbags in Fort McMurray but, for the moment, there’s nowhere to put them. Brad Grainger with the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo says flood waters are moving too quickly and riverbanks are too unstable for people to get close. A state of emergency and a boil-water order for the area were declared Tuesday due to flooding of the Hangingstone River and concern over the Clearwater River and its tributaries. About 150 people have been moved from a city trailer park and residents in 275 homes are on evacuation alert. Grainger says workers are trying to fix a main gas line that ruptured when water eroded the ground cover-

Aside from commutes to and from site taking a bit longer as a result of the rain, Imperial Oil’s (TSX:IMO) newly-opened Kearl mine, further north than Syncrude, is also operating normally, said spokesman Pius Rolheiser.

Alberta
Beaver kit rescued from oil spill released back into wild By Susan Zielinski
THE CANADIAN PRESS
SUNDRE, Alta. — A baby beaver that was rescued after an oil pipeline leak in central Alberta last year has been returned to the wild. The kit named Oily weighed little more than a brick of butter when it was brought to the Medicine River Wildlife Centre last June. The one-week-old beaver had been caught in a spill from a Plains Midstream Canada pipeline spill into the Red Deer River. Up to 475,000 litres of light sour crude were released into
the river and made it as far as Gleniffer Lake. Oily was found coated in goo close to the original spill site and was taken to Medicine River Wildlife Centre. Centre spokeswoman Carol Kelly says he’s now been released at an abandoned beaver lodge near Sundre. “Oily was a teeny, weeny little guy, about 500 grams or so, when he came to us. Soaked in oil and sitting in a shoe box,” said executive director Carol Kelly. He weighed about 11 kilograms when he was released. “He’s grown and thrived.
Hates people. Totally a lovely wild beaver.” After the spill, the centre also took in a baby muskrat and an adult beaver. They were returned to the wild last summer. A Canada goose and baby crow did not survive. Kelly said she will be returning to Oily’s lodge to check on him. He was swimming around having a good time the last time she saw him — a big difference from when he arrived at the centre. “He was pretty bad. For the first couple

THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The federal government says it will review proposed right-to-die legislation tabled today in the Quebec legislature. Justice Minister Rob Nicholson points out in a statement that euthanasia and assisted suicide are illegal in Canada. Quebec’s controversial Bill 52 essentially outlines the conditions necessary for someone to get medical assistance to die and spells out the necessary requirements before a doctor can accept. Patients would have to be of sound mind and make repeated written requests to a doctor to end their life because of unbearable physical or psychological suffering. A second medical opinion would also be necessary. Quebec has argued it can bring in the law because delivery of health services is of provincial jurisdiction. Social Services Minister Veronique Hivon, who sponsored the bill, says it addresses health matters, not criminal matters. The legislation follows a landmark March 2012 report that suggested doctors be allowed in exceptional circumstances to help the terminally ill die if that is what the patients want. It followed divisive public hearings held across the province in 2010 and 2011 A panel of Quebec experts was convened and came to the conclusion in January that provinces have the legal jurisdiction to legislate in matters of health.

Graduation day is a day like no other
O
ur lives are filled with big moments. As kids the big ones are tying your shoes, riding a bicycle, making a stone skip more than once or blowing that perfect bubblegum bubble. As adults the moments are obviously different but just as significant. That first job, the first car, marriage, the birth of the first child, the big promotion, retirement or the hole in one. We all have our own take on what makes up special moments and they vary as much as a person's character. But many of us can agree that graduating high school ranks right up there. It's more than a day, more than a piece of paper – it's a moment of change. In that one moment, more so than turning a specific age determined by law, a youth becomes an adult, a student becomes
a graduate and life of compulsory studies are suddenly over. For many it's only a pit stop to more studies, albeit on a much different and larger scale. For others it's a watershed moment, where life doesn't revolve around school schedules and duties anymore. For everyone involved, it's a graduation into another phase of life's journey. As a parent, I know I'm a rookie when it comes to graduation and the pomp and circumstance surrounding it. But perhaps that's what makes it as exciting for me, as it does for my daughter. For her it's a moment to say goodbye to the security and comfort of local schools and teachers, who have known her for years, in exchange for the unknown and demanding style of post-secondary education. Or even more challenging, jumping right into

the competitive workforce. I think back to moments of reading her bedtime stories, dropping her off with best wishes every day at elementary school or simply helping solve a Grade 3 math problem. I see many of the same faces that were grinning ear-to-ear in her Grade 1 Christmas concert now , who are also part of the next wave of adults going out into the world. It's a time to think back to all the teachers,
especially in elementary school, who showed patience, care and encouragement to help students gain confidence in their own abilities. Those same abilities flourished under the tutelage of high school teachers to the point where students are now ready to take it to the next level in to post-secondary institution or in the workforce. The long path that began with the over-sized backpack and the cartooncharacter lunchbox in the primary grades and morphed into the iPhone and salad that she now takes to school, comes to an end on Friday. From that moment on, her life is hers to live, foster and flourish. She has been given the tools, now it's up to her to begin building a future. Of course I'll still be there to offer guidance. But not in the way I use to help her with homework or make her lunch. Now I can offer advice
and stand back and watch what she decides to do with it. Just like that first day of kindergarten or when they get their driver's licence, there's a sense of control and guidance we have over our children that we give up at graduation - whether we like it or not. It takes confidence, both from a parent and their child, to know that graduation is a moment that sets a person free on a new horizon. For a parent, the horizon will no longer include report cards or lunches or field trips. For a student, graduation day unveils a horizon with unlimited potential. And perhaps, for the entity of a parent and child relationship, that's the greatest moment of all. Guy Bertrand is the managing editor of the Trail Times. His daughter, Annie, will join her Crowe class in graduation Friday.

Letters & Opinion
Prescription for ailing health care system
P
olls show that most Canadians cherish the underpinning ethics of our medicare system: that health care should be allocated on the basis of need not ability to pay. But polls also show that Canadians want more from the system. The list of potential improvements is long. Public opinion and research evidence point to areas such as improving primary health care, reducing wait times and being more proactive about health promotion and disease prevention. One health system improvement seems to be capturing increasing attention of the public, health professionals, unions, employers and experts. It is to make medicare more comprehensive by expanding coverage to include medically necessary prescription drugs. A poll released last week by EKOS Research Associates found that more than threequarters (78 per cent) of Canadians would support expansion of public drug coverage to make “Pharmacare” in Canada operate like our medicare system. Canadians have good reasons to want such reform. Every developed country with a universal health care system provides universal coverage of prescription drugs . . . except Canada. Drug coverage is provided in all comparable health care systems because, when prescribed and used appropriately, prescription drugs can be among the most cost-effective forms of providing health care. The architects of these other systems know that charging patients for prescriptions will impede the use of essential medicines – which can cost the health care system in other ways, such as increased hospitalizations. In Canada, many patients cannot afford to take medicines prescribed by their doctors. The recent poll by EKOS suggests that, in the past
five years, about one in five Canadians (23 per cent) have chosen not to fill a prescription because of out-of-pocket costs. That’s a lot of missed prescriptions. Such access problems are prevented when medically necessary prescriptions are covered as part of the health care system. Countries with such access – every other developed country with universal health care – also spend considerably less on pharmaceuticals than Canada does because health care systems that purchase medicines on behalf of entire populations have significant bargaining power in price negotiations with drug manufacturers.

Managers and prescribers in such systems also have incentives to view medicines as part of health care as whole. Allowing high prices or over-prescribing ultimately reduces resources available for other forms of patient care because costs cannot simply be passed onto patients, employers, unions or other actors – as is too often done in Canada by way of reduced drug coverage, increased patient charges or increased insurance premiums. The United Kingdom provides a good example of integrated health and pharmaceutical coverage. Its public health care system provides universal coverage for medically-necessary prescriptions at little or no cost to patients.
It works. Citizens of the UK report virtually no barriers to access – just 2 per cent of the population reports skipping prescriptions because of cost. Instead of asking patients to consider costs, the system in the UK asks doctors to do so by connecting prescribing budgets with budgets for medical and hospital care. That works too. Their prescribers rely less heavily on newer, more costly drugs when older treatments might do as well or better. As a single-payer system, the UK also obtains much lower drug prices than we do in Canada. Brands are roughly 30 per cent cheaper and generics are 30 per cent cheaper. Yet it is worth noting that the UK attracts more than five times as much pharmaceutical Research and Development on a per capita basis than Canada. Put another way, if the per capita costs of pharmaceuticals in Canada were the same as the UK, we would spend $14 billion less on medicines every year. That is enough to pay annual salaries for 180,000 new nurses – an increase of our nursing workforce by 50 per cent. Canadians are justifiably proud of the basic structure and ethics underpinning our medicare system. But a growing number of us are realizing that the system is uniquely incomplete. Pharmaceuticals are integrated into every other universal health care system in the developed world. It’s time to do the same for Canada. We could begin with clear winners for patients and the health system such as covering drugs to manage cardiovascular risks, diabetes, asthma and severe mental illness. If we fail to do so we will continue to pay more to get less.

She was a voracious reader who loved her books and she became a reliable source of knowledge and a trusted wealth of information to all generations. She had a great collection of war memorabilia which was appropriately displayed in the “War Room” library. Anyone who knew Dorothy knew she was a smart, determined woman with a great sense of humour. She will be dearly missed by Lorne, her husband of 65 years. Left to cherish her memory are her daughters; Donna (Peter) Graham and Rochelle (Steve Barnes), her sister Molly (Len) Pare, her grandchildren; Peter, Lauren, Cole and Clark Graham, her nieces; Loretta (Reno) Zanier, Maureen (Gord) Mattson, Lynn Pare, Diane Mailey, her nephews; Ron (Diane) Paolini, Lorne (Karen) Pare, and Donald (Val) Paolini. Dorothy was predeceased by nephews; Adolf (Irene) Tambellini and Kevin Pare. The family wishes to express their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Kirby, Dr. Scotland, Hospice, the compassionate staff at the 3rd floor Medical Unit at KBRH and to Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services. At Dorothy’s request, there will not be a service.

Golf legend passes
Beryle Irma Irene Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Miller Barber, the unique-swinging golfer who made the most combined starts on the PGA and Champions tours, has died. He was 82. The PGA Tour said Wednesday that Barber died Tuesday. The tour didn’t provide details of the death. Barber, nicknamed “Mr. X,” played in 1,297 tournaments on the PGA Tour and 50-and-over circuit. He won 11 times in 694 PGA Tour starts and added 24 victories in 603 events on the Champions Tour. “We are saddened by the passing of Miller Barber,” PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said in a statement. “He was a wonderful player who made his mark on the PGA Tour with 11 victories and then really excelled on Champions Tour, becoming one of its best players in the tour’s formative years. Miller and the Champions Tour’s other early stars helped establish the tour and make it the tremendous success it has become. Golf has lost a great man and competitor.” Barber was born in March 31, 1931, in Shreveport, La., and grew up in Texarkana, Texas. He graduated from the University of Arkansas in 1954, served in the U.S. Air Force and joined the tour in 1959. He won the 1964 Cajun Classic Open Invitational for his first tour title. Known for his unusual swing that featured a flying right elbow, the two-time Ryder Cup player had his best chance to win a major championship in the 1969 U.S.
August 2, 1925 – May 2, 2013 It is with great sadness that the family of Irene Smith announces her passing. Irene peacefully slipped away May 2, 2013 in Kelowna at the age of 87. Irene is predeceased by her husband Don Smith and step-sons Allan Smith and John Bishop. Irene will be greatly missed and forever remembered by her son Don Smith(Laurel), step-daughter Hazel Clouston(John), step-son Mike Smith(Joan), Irene’s grandchildren: Dionne(Mark), Josey(Rob), Quinn(Justin) , Dillion, Lorne, Sherri(Greg), Daughter-in-law Janice Smith and many great grandchildren (Logan, Lucas, Aryanna, Neveah, Kenya, Lexi, Evan, Cheyenne, Tanis and Dakota), nieces, nephews, special friends Diane Boyd, Carol Fabbro, and all the Genelle Seniors. The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Kootenay Boundry Regional Hospital that cared for Irene on Saturday April 27 and the doctors and nurses at Kelowna General Hospital that cared for Irene until her passing. A celebration of Irene’s life will be held at the Genelle Hall on what would have been Irene’s 88th Birthday, August 2, 2013 from 1-4pm. Irene was born on August 2, 1925 in Saskatoon, Sk. She married Don Smith in 1952, and was a step mother to Don’s two son’s Allan and Mike. They moved to Edmonton, and in 1954 added Donald Smith Jr. to their family. The family continued west to Penticton, Grandforks, Acme, Kamloops and finally settled in Genelle. Irene cherished her family especially all her grandchildren and great grandchildren, Grandma kept track of everyone and we will all miss her phone calls so much. Irene lived independently up until her passing and enjoyed gardening, canning, baking, family dinners, going to seniors, and spent many days playing scrabble with Diane. In the past years Irene also enjoyed spending time with her nephews and their families at their cabin in the Shuswap, going on road trips with family, and spent many hours on figuring out the family history and geneology.
The Broken Chain: God saw you getting tired, he did what he thought was best, He put his arms around you, and said, “come and rest”. He opened up his golden gates, on that heartbreaking day, And with his arms around you, you gently slipped away, 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 sides. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Open at Champions Club outside Houston. But after taking a threestroke lead into the final round, he closed with a 78 to finish three strokes behind winner Orville Moody. Barber won five majors on the Champions Tour, including a record three U.S. Senior Open titles. He made his last competitive appearance last year in the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf, teaming with Jim Ferree to tie for 11th in the Demaret Division for players 70 and older. “Miller Barber was a true gentleman that was special in many ways,” CBS analyst and instructor Peter Kostis said on Twitter. “I will miss him greatly.” PGA Tour player Geoff Ogilvy spent time with Barber at Whisper Rock in Arizona. “Rest in peace Miller Barber,” Ogilvy tweeted. “Thanks for all the tips and stories. The back of the range at Whisper Rock will never be the same.” Barber said there were two stories about how he was tagged “Mr. X.” In one, he took over the nickname from the original “Mr. X,” George Bayer, after outdriving Bayer in a long-drive contest. In the other, Barber said Ferree called him “The Mysterious Mr. X” because, “I never told anywhere where I was going at night. I was a bachelor and a mystery man.” Barber is survived by wife Karen and sons Casey, Doug, Brad, Larry and Richard.

Singer’s portrayal questioned
‘Seinfeld’ actress swears-in another hit THE CANADIAN PRESS BANFF, Alta. - It’s not a requirement that you know how to swear but it doesn’t hurt on the HBO hit series “Veep”. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is wrapping up her second season in the lead role of U.S. Vice President Selina Meyer in the satirical comedy series. Louis-Dreyfus was at the Banff World Media Festival to receive the inaugural Variety TV Impact Award. After a wildly successful run on “Seinfeld” and a five year run in “The New Adventures of

light behind the curtain and in front of the curtain,” LouisDreyfus explained. “I think one never thinks about these people we often admire behaving in such a way. I think it helps highlight the theme of the show.” With a career that includes three Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and five Screen Actors Guild Awards, LouisDreyfus, now 52, thinks she has a pretty good feel for how successful the show could be. “We’ve just begun to scratch the surface which is a thrill.”
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - The head of AEG Live LLC told jurors Wednesday that he knew Michael Jackson as a sophisticated, forceful businessman and not the drugged-up performer who’s been described throughout an ongoing civil trial filed over the singer’s untimely death. Jackson was a far more complex figure than has been portrayed during the trial of a case filed by the singer’s mother against AEG Live over her son’s death, said Randy Philips, the company’s president and CEO. Phillips said based on meetings he had with Jackson in 2008 and early 2009, he found Jackson to be a “sophisticated man who had control of his life.” The portrait of Jackson that’s been presented to the jury during the seven-week trial has been inaccurate, Phillips said. Jackson was described by both sides in opening statements as struggling with prescription drug addiction throughout his life.
Phillips said he disagreed with the descriptions of Jackson “because he’s been presented as drug-addled 5-year-old. That was not the man I dealt with. The man I dealt with was forceful. Kind, but determined. He was a force.” Jurors have been presented with conflicting accounts of Jackson, even from Philips. They will have to weigh the different portrayals when they decide who is liable for the singer’s June 2009 death. Katherine Jackson’s lawyers contend AEG failed to properly investigate the doctor convicted of causing her son’s death, pushing her son too hard to perform and missed warning signs of his health. AEG, however, contends Michael Jackson hid his addiction to the powerful anesthetic propofol and that the company could not have foreseen that the singer’s doctor was giving him the drug as a sleep aid. Millions and possibly billions of dollars are at stake in the negligent hiring trial.

LIFESTYLES TORONTO
Summer lunch program plugs hunger gap TORONTO - Some kids across Canada aren’t eager to hear that final bell signalling school’s out for the summer. They’d rather stay in school because it means they get at least one nutritious meal a day, says chef Michael Smith. The end of school means the end of the school lunch program for many children from low-income families. “And this is a big part of going to school for a lot of kids in Canada is that lunch program, getting that good healthy nutritious lunch every day,” Smith said. Each month, close to 900,000 Canadians are assisted by food banks, and
38 per cent of those helped are children and youth, according to the Food Banks Canada website. But a summer lunch program called Feeding Our Future, established by the Sodexo Foundation in 2000, partners with community hunger relief organizations to provide free summer lunches to children in need. Smith, who’s well known for hosting such Food Network Canada programs as “Chef Michael’s Kitchen,” “Chef Abroad” and the “Chef at Home” series, as well as authoring several cookbooks, has been involved for about a half-dozen years with the program. The initiative was
launched in Toronto with support from the kitchen of a Sodexo client and the food rescue program Second Harvest and has expanded to eight other cities across the country - Vancouver, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg, Oakville, Ont., Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax. Sodexo, a food and facilities management company, provides the funds and infrastructure for the foundation. Any money raised goes directly to the meals, Smith said. A client with a kitchen that has little traffic during summer months - a university cafeteria kitchen, for example - might become the site for meal preparation. The meals are then distributed
to the children at various locations, such as summer camps. “We’re able to use those kitchens to produce nutritious lunches with all volunteers within our company and also our suppliers who are very good to donate the food that we then turn into nutritious lunches,” Smith explained in an interview from Brampton, Ont., ahead of an address to the Sodexo Foundation. More than 900,000 lunches have been produced since 2001 and they expect to hit one million this summer, said Smith, who hails from Prince Edward Island. Many children are out
the door in the morning without breakfast and also might not have a proper meal in the evening. “(Lunch) becomes the one thing they have to look forward to every day. It’s a big deal. We take lunch for granted. These kids do not take lunch for granted,” said Smith, who is the national sustainability advocate for this initiative. “You see the look in the kids’ eyes when they’re receiving their food,” he added. “I can’t stress how
Show your true ‘petriot love’ An online Canada Day pet photo contest hosted by Black Press is pitting proud pet owners against one another in the quest for a fun prize package. Called the True Petriot Love Contest, passionate pet owners should be up to the challenge. Snapping pictures of “Mittens,” “Rascal” and “Tweety” is something most people already love to do. “Everyone loves their pet and especially taking pictures of their pet,” says Nelson Star publisher Karen Bennett. “This is just a fun way to incorporate Canada Day celebrations into a contest people are already going to enjoy.” She’s hoping people get creative by way of displaying their patriotic pride with flags, bandanas and other Canadian memorabilia, all making good accessories. Maple leafs are a safe bet but it’s how they’re used that will peg one photo a notch above the rest. This is the first time Black Press if offering a contest running across the West Kootenay. Competition will be stiff with pet owners from Nelson, Trail, Rossland, Castlegar and Grand Forks all participating. “Pets are popular so this is a great place to start with our first regional contest,” says Bennett. Prizes on offer include a $50 shopping spree gift card from Dig Garden Centre; a Canadian-made Silverfoot collar and leash set plus a Red Dingo ID tag from Tails in Rossland (valued at over $60); restaurant gift certificates courtesy Selkirk Veterinary Hospital valued at $100; Up to a 25 lb of Petcurian Pet Food from Nelson Farmer’s Supply worth $50 and a cat and dog prize package from Central Bark. To enter the photo contest, go to our newspaper website and click on contests. Register and then upload your Petriot Love photo. The contest is now open with a deadline of July 1, Canada Day.

KOOTENAY SOUTH SOCCER
Orioles host series with Honkers BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
The Trail AM Ford Orioles swept a non-league doubleheader with the Vernon Diamondbacks on Sunday to prepare for one of their toughest tilts of the Pacific International League (PIL) season against the Northwest Honkers at Butler Park this Saturday and Sunday. The O’s opened with an 8-1 rout of the D-backs and followed with an 8-0 shut out. “It was a couple of good wins,” said Orioles player/manager Jim Maniago. “But the competition gets tougher from here.” Kyle Paulson pitched a gem in the first match, giving up two hits and striking out 11 batters for the win. Dallas Calvin and Brady Glover each had two hits in the 8-1 drubbing. In the back end of the double bill, Scott Robertson and Jim Maniago combined for a two hitter and the shut out, with Joey Underwood and Glover pounding out three hits while Kyle Mace and Robertson each had a pair. The Orioles face a formidable Honkers team made up of college players and ex-pros in a fourgame series at Butler on Saturday and Sunday. The Honkers are 4-4 in PIL action and are led by last year’s all-star outfielder Max Brown who is currently hitting .500, and a pair of six-footsix pitchers and former pros in J. D. Scholten and lefty Jason Salers who leads the league in strikeouts with 30 over 25 innings, and pitched a no-hitter against the Kamloops Sun Devils two weeks ago. “This weekend we have four big games,” said Maniago. “We have most of our team ready to go and we want to see how we stack up. The Honkers are very good, they have great pitching and will be a good test for us.” The Orioles’ success will likely ride on the starting arms of Paulson - who sits second in the league behind Salers in Ks with 22 - Darrin Kissock, Scott Rhynold, and Robertson. The O’s also enjoy a strong bullpen with Mace, Calvin, Kellen Jones, Scott Davidson, Jaret Conway and Maniago ready to go. “Things change though game by game and sometimes you make a move in one game which affects the next one,” says Maniago. Defence has been the strength of the Trail team thus far, and while pitching has been very strong at times, it has also been erratic. Opposing teams average almost five runs per game, as the O’s sport a team ERA of 4.55, while scoring an average of 1.9 runs per game. Maniago leads the team in batting, going 6 for 23 for a .261 average with two doubles and 10 walks for an impressive .514 on-base -percentage. With solid outings on the mound, generating offence will be key for the Orioles this weekend, in what should shape up to be four excellent games. The O’s look to end a four-game winless streak in PIL action and improve their 3-8 record, while the Honkers are coming off a split with the Kelowna Jays on the weekend and look to gain some ground on the league-leading Langley Blaze at 9-1. The series starts with a twilight doubleheader Saturday with games at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., followed by Sunday’s matches at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The next Orioles home games won’t be for another month when they play Vernon at Butler on July 13-14. See Scoreboard Page 12.

Trail swimmers reap rewards in pool BY TIMES CONTRIBUTOR The Greater Trail Winter Swim Club continues to produce in the pool as 11 swimmers from the competitive division brought back medals from the Kamloops June Classic Long Course swim meet on the weekend. Under-10 phenom Dylan Kormendy dominated the competition claiming gold medals in the 200-metre freestyle, 50-meter butterfly, 50-m. and 100 m. breastroke,
and 200-m. Individual medley (IM). U-12 swimmer Eden Kormendy captured gold in the 50-m. fly in a blistering 31.92 seconds defeating the runner-up by more than a full second. She also claimed gold in the 100-m. breastroke by a full three seconds over the second-place rival. Eden then nabbed silver in the 50-m. breast, 200-m. IM, 200 m. free, and 200 m. breast. Trail’s Aby Elwood won
silver in the U-12 girls 200 fly and bronze in 100 fly, while Sharman Thomas outtouched his opponent for a silver medal in the 50 meter backstroke. Every swimmer took time off their personal best swims including Elwood who hammered off an impressive 17.40 seconds from her previous personal best in the 400-m. free, Cyan Ross-Van Merlo knocked off 16.98 seconds off her 200 m. back, and
Ian Markus trimmed 15.70 seconds from his 200 back. GTSC coach Andrea Wyers was extremely pleased with the swimmers results and looks forward to the upcoming long course swim meets in Spokane and Vancouver.

Sports nba finals
Spurs’ Parker likely for Game 4 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN ANTONIO - Tony Parker, along with all of San Antonio, really, spent a restless night worrying about a gimpy right hamstring that hampered him in Game 3 of the NBA Finals and threatened the momentum the Spurs seized with a drubbing of the Miami Heat. A day later, Parker said he got some good news. Just how good the news is likely won’t be known until Game 4 begins tonight. Parker had an MRI on Wednesday that revealed a Grade 1 strain of his hamstring, the mildest level of strain. He’s listed as day to day. “I was just hoping it was not a tear,” Parker said. “The good news is it’s not a tear or a defect. So that’s the good news. Now I just have to see how I feel tomorrow.” Parker was injured early in the second half of Game 3, which the Spurs won 113-77 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. He was limited to six points and eight assists in 27 minutes and left the game early in the fourth quarter with the outcome already decided. Parker did not participate in the portion
of practice on Wednesday that was open to the media, instead watching his teammates go through a light workout while spending much of the time in conversation with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. “We’ll see how it goes tomorrow. We’ll talk with Pop,” Parker said. “I know Pop is always going to prefer to take low risk.” When asked about Parker’s outlook, Popovich said, “a lot of it will be what he feels, I think.” Parker’s injury somewhat muted the celebration in San Antonio following the Spurs’ decisive bounce-back victory that put them two wins shy of the franchise’s fifth championship. While the Spurs’ role players have been playing incredibly well in these finals, they know they will need Parker’s leadership, guts and unparalleled mastery of the pick-and-roll to bury LeBron James and the Heat. Danny Green, Gary Neal and Kawhi Leonard have been revelations so far in this series, scoring the same number of points (130) through the first three games that the Heat’s vaunted trio of James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have managed.

are already there) and will miss this woman’s communication. The fact that she is going through a divorce also puts you in an awkward position, because she may lean on you for comfort, and when she becomes available, you will find her hard to resist. Please back far, far away before you find yourself enmeshed in an affair, whether emotional or physical. If your marriage needs revitalizing, work on it. Consider how your wife would feel if she found out how close you are to this other woman. How would you feel if she did this to you? You are playing with
What is the right way to handle people like this? Should I sit and see nothing because misery loves company? -- Juliana Dear Juliana: Concerts have evolved into two basic types: The formal concert, where everyone sits, and the informal concert, where people often stand. Once the people in the rows ahead of you get up, you need to do the same in order to see. We have advised people who attend such concerts to try to get seats in the front row or first-row balcony if they want their view unobstructed. Those who are in wheelchairs often find there is a handicapped section, although it may be necessary to find an usher and inquire. It is unrealistic at informal events to expect hundreds of other people to sit down for your convenience. If this happens again, apologize to the people behind you
and suggest that they, too, stand up or move closer to the aisle for a better view. You are not obligated to sit if the people in front of you are standing. Dear Annie: “An Anxious Mom” was reluctant to give money from her late husband’s
will to her 58-year-old unemployed son who is living on his veterans benefits. One of your suggestions was to put the money in a trust. Please suggest she check into creating a Special Needs Trust for her son. If she gives the money directly to him,
he will probably spend it very quickly, but he could also lose his VA benefits. She will need to consult a lawyer knowledgeable in these matters. -- M. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

fire. Stop. Dear Annie: This summer, I have my concert tickets ordered and am excited to see some of my favorite performers on stage. However, I’m unsure of proper etiquette after a problem I encountered last year. I went to a country concert, which meant plenty of beer and dancing. The problem was, as soon as the audience stood up, the people directly behind me started yelling at my friend and me to sit down. We did, but we couldn’t see a thing because of the dozens of rows of people standing in front of us. We stood back up, only to be yelled at again. I turned around and explained that everyone else was standing and they should do the same. They were angry and continued to yell throughout the concert. After the concert, they sarcastically thanked us for ruining their night.

Dear Annie: About a year ago, I ran into a woman I used to spend time with in high school. We are both married, although she is going through a divorce. Since that day, she and I have been talking quite a bit. We discuss a lot of different things, all on a platonic level. The problem is, I believe I am becoming infatuated with her again. I had a thing for her throughout high school but never had the courage to ask her out, probably because I was too afraid to lose our friendship. I am now in a situation where I won’t be home for a few months. I know I will miss her communication. I feel I’m doing something wrong. Is this normal? Do I need to just keep my distance and cease contact? -- Back in High School Dear Back: You recognize that you are “becoming” infatuated (we think you

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Friday, June 14, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a fun-loving day once again. Enjoy good times with others. However, guard against making important decisions. Just keep things light. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Socialize at home and enjoy lighthearted company with family members. Do not make important decisions about your home or family today. Just coast. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an upbeat, optimistic day. Get out and enjoy yourself. Choose social situations with lighthearted conversation, especially with neighbors and siblings. (It’s a poor day to sign contracts or make important decisions.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be careful in all financial matters today. Don’t spend money on anything other than food. This is not a good
day to start work or initiate any kind of money deal. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a fun-loving, social day. You are very much in touch with your creative energy and artistic talents. Find ways to express these; however, don’t spend money today except on food. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You will enjoy solitude in beautiful surroundings if you have a chance to find it today, because you will prefer to withdraw from the busyness of everything around you. It’s a good day for some peace and quiet. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A confidential discussion with a female acquaintance could be important for you today. (People are open and frank.) Nevertheless, don’t agree to anything important -- not until tomorrow. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) People notice you today,
and they might know information about your financial arrangements or something you share or own with someone else. This is a poor day to make important decisions. Be cool. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Do what you can to delight in a sense of adventure. You’ll love to learn something new, because your imagination is heightened. Talk to people from other
countries and different backgrounds. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Others are prepared to help you today; nevertheless, avoid important agreements, and do not promise anything. Postpone important decisions until tomorrow. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a fun-loving, social day! Get out and have some
fun. Enjoy sports and playful activities with children. Romance can flourish. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Although your focus is on home and family now, you are concerned about issues at work today. Don’t make important decisions. Just attend to business as usual. YOU BORN TODAY You are bold and gutsy, sometimes to the point of being rebellious. You value your free-
