Trail submits offer to purchase regional airport BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

How much does an airport go for these days? Almost six years to the date that Teck Ltd. sold the Trail Regional Airport to the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) for $1.3 million the Silver City has put in an offer. However, Trail residents will have to wait for details in the city’s offer to purchase the 125-acre area from the regional district because the dollar amount remains under wraps for now. “The appraised report was considered at an in-camera meeting,” said Michelle McIsaac, Trail’s corporate administrator. “Given that it deals with a land matter and negotiations with the regional district, the city isn’t releasing the value at this time.” The City of Trail expressed its discontent to the airport’s regional stakeholders in a letter issued last summer stating “the lack of congruence and apparent indifference” to the airport service from several participants an ongoing issue and concern in the context of advancing plans for the regional airport. At an East End Services (EES) meeting at the RDKB in November, the majority of service participants, which includes Rossland, Montrose, Fruitvale and regional district areas A and B, voted down airport expan-

sion, citing “the majority of the members were happy with the service.” Dissatisfaction with the outcome of the service review prompted the city to throw the future of the airport into a tailspin when, in January, a member of Trail council presented a letter to the EES with an official request to purchase the airport from the RDKB. The city was then green-lighted by the entire regional district board on Jan. 31, allowing Trail to proceed with hiring an appraiser and subsequently coming up with an offer. Now, that offer is in the hands of the RDKB board for its consideration. “The regional district has to consider the offer which has a number of conditions attached to it,” said Mayor Dieter Bogs. “We are hoping to hear from them within the next four to six weeks.” Historically, Trail has been and on-and-off lease holder of the airport since its 1929 construction by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. of Canada (Cominco). According to the Trail Historical Society, the City of Trail became lease-holder of the airport in 1929, 1947, and 1959. The lease was transferred to the RDKB in 1982, at which time the airport was recognized as a service created by the regionalization of services. BY CONNIE MOTZ

Special to the Times

After years of waiting, it looks like Genelle residents are on the way to getting blue box recycling. Approximately 35 people attended Monday’s public meeting at the Genelle Hall held to discuss the upcoming Packaging and Printed Paper (PPP) Stewardship Plan developed by non-profit Multi-Material British Columbia (MMBC). Taking effect province-wide in

May 2014, the plan essentially states if an industry produces packing, it's responsible for ‘endlife management’ of that packaging. In accordance with the PPP Stewardship Plan, Linda Worley, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Area B director, stated Genelle residents are facing two options for their recycling program: either continue to privately fund and operate the existing recycling depot located at the Genelle Fire Hall or switch

to industry-funded curbside blue box recycling. According to Alan Stanley, the RDKB's director of Environmental Services, Genelle residents pay $50,000 annually to operate the current depot whereas switching to blue box recycling would only cost $15,000 per year - which in turn will be funded next year by industry producers through the PPP Stewardship Plan resulting in a net cost for residents of zero. In understanding the signifi-

cant cost savings available, many residents at the meeting seemed dumbfounded as to why Genelle did not choose to implement a blue box recycling program earlier. A previous Area B meeting in 2006 produced a 2-1 consensus in adopting blue boxes but a 2007 telephone poll produced the opposite results. While some in attendance expressed concern over the issue of proposed bi-weekly blue box See FINAL, Page 3

Final decision Food banks welcome garden produce up to RDKB By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

FROM PAGE 1 pick up and how their recycling would be stored, the majority of people expressed their approval through comments such as “it’s about time” and loud rounds of applause. “Typically speaking, curbside recycling does quite well,” said Stanley. The Regional District of Central Okanagan adopted a curbside recycling program in 2000 resulting in double the amount of tonnes per capita recycled annually over its previous depot program. If Genelle adopts blue boxes, residents will be able to recycle the same products as collected at the depot. However, the introduction of the PPP Stewardship Plan next year will require industry to start recycling all packaging such as Styrofoam meat trays and toothpaste tubes as according to Stanley, “if it holds a product, it’s a package.” But all is not said and done. “On a personal note, I believe in the blue box system,” said Worley but she cautiously advised the choice of changing to blue boxes is “ultimately a RDKB board decision.” Therefore, Worley strongly encourages all Genelle residents to express their support or concerns about blue box recycling to her by the Sept. 19 deadline. Letters may be sent to her at PO Box 132, Genelle, BC, V0G 1G0, or by email at lindaworleyab@gmail.com. RDKB operates 15 recycling depots, 12 waste transfer stations and three landfills with over 90 percent of area residents having access to curbside recycling. For more information on the PPP Stewardship Plan, visit Multi-Material British Columbia at www.multimaterialbc.ca.

Tis the season for backyard gardeners to nurture a patch of fresh veggies and pluck sun-ripened fruit from its branches. With this in mind, the Trail food banks are asking residents to drop off any extras to help feed the needy. “This time of year is great for our food bank because people bring in excess produce,” said Reverend Keith Simmonds, from the Trail United Church. “You don’t have to try to get rid of a zucchini at the neighbours anymore, you can bring it to us.” The food bank operates three Tuesdays a month and feeds over 100 people a week. Those wishing to help with time or donations can contact the United Church at 368-3225. On the other side of the street, the basement of the St. Andrews Anglican Church was a flurry of activity on Tuesday as volunteers readied to feed and provide hampers to over 80 people during its once a month food bank. “Since the weather has gotten warm our donations are way down,” said coordinator Patti Flack. “So we do like to remind people with gardens to think

Since she began coordinating the food bank, the number of people using the service has almost tripled.

Crews called out for river rescue

By Times Staff RCMP and the Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire/Rescue (KBRFR) were called into action on Wednesday afternoon following reports of a person in the Columbia River. Crews were dispatched amd the river rescue boat was launched in an attempt to perform a rescue. As of press time, officials would not comment on whether they performed a rescue or recovery. No names were released. Dan Derby, Emergency Services coordinator and assistant Regional Fire Chief, would not comment on the status of the rescue at press time, and simply stated crews were called to assist the RCMP in a river rescue. Crews scoured the waterway to U.S. border. No further information was available at press time.

“There is way more of a need today,” said Flack. “When I started I had 45 people who came regularly,” she said. “Now, some weeks we serve up to 120 people including lunch and hampers.” Running the once a month food bank comes at a cost of $1000, and Flack said that donations of backyard crops help “to fill in the gaps.” “Demand is high in spring and summer and our supplies get low,” she said. “Once people are back from their summer homes and return to work and church in September, we hope donations pick up again.” Until then, fresh produce and non-perishable items can

What is the BC Services Card and how do I get one?

The new BC Services Card is part of government’s plan to modernize B.C.’s health care system. It replaces your CareCard, and also acts as your photo ID. It’s more convenient, more secure and will enable access to other government services in the future. Most adults will have to renew enrolment in the Medical Service Plan (MSP) by 2018 and apply for a BC Service Card at a driver licensing office like the ones at our Castlegar Downtown and New Denver offices. Before coming into the office, check your driver’s licence and CareCard to be sure that your name matches exactly on both. If not, call Health Insurance BC at 604-683-7151 or 1-800-633-7100. The BC Services Card can be issued as a separate piece of photo ID or combined with your driver’s licence (it can not be combined with a BC Identification card or Enhanced Driver’s Licence). There’s no additional fee for the BC Services Card; however, if you choose to combine it with your driver’s licence the regular renewal or duplicate driver’s licence fees still apply. If you choose to combine your CardCard with your driver’s licence, your privacy will be protected. Health care providers will not be able to see your driving record and police or ICBC agents will not be able to access your health information. Children under the age of 19 can continue to use their CareCards but newborns enrolled in MSP will be issued non-photo BC Services Cards issued by Heath Insurance BC. Use your BC Services Card the same way you use your CareCard to access health services today. To learn more please contact either the Castlegar Downtown or New Denver RHC Insurance Broker offices or go online to BCServicesCard.ca.

Premier Brad Wall says his Saskatchewan Party wants the doors closed on the upper chamber of Parliament. A recent mail-in referendum, the results of which were released Monday, saw 86 per cent of just over 3,700 of the party’s members vote to abolish the Senate. Demands to either dramatically reform or abolish the Senate have become more pronounced as a scandal unfolds over allegations that a handful of senators misused public money by making improper housing or travel-expense claims. The scandal has resulted in the resignation of the prime

minister’s chief of staff, an RCMP investigation and the departures of three senators - Conservatives Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin and Liberal Mac Harb - from their party caucuses. Another former Conservative senator, Patrick Brazeau, was removed from the Tory caucus over an unrelated criminal matter that is currently before the courts. But calls to close down the Senate are reactionary, and pointless, says University of Ottawa professor Errol Mendes. “(Abolition) is a non-starter, whatever Saskatchewan and Brad Wall thinks,” says Mendes. “It’s not going

to happen.” NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has also said he will campaign in the next federal election on a platform that includes getting rid of the unelected body. But the Constitution requires, at minimum, the approval of seven provinces representing 50 per cent of the population to make any significant changes to the Senate, including abolishing it. And a national debate over Senate abolition would only open the door to demands from the provinces for other changes to the Constitution, says Ned Franks, an emeritus political science professor at Queen’s University.

CUPE gets strike mandate THE CANADIAN PRESS BURNABY, B.C. - Barely 12 months after a tense year-long labour dispute with teachers ended in B.C.’s public schools, more job action could be on the way. CUPE BC says 27,000 education assistants, clerical staff, trades, aboriginal workers, youth workers, custodians, and bus drivers in elementary and secondary schools have voted in favour of a strike. The union says the mandate covers almost all of its 57 locals, in 53 school districts across the province. CUPE BC K-12 spokesman Colin Pawson says members have not had a wage increase for more than four years and the union is hoping for funded settlements similar to those for other public-sector employees. Legislation in 2012 ended a three-day walkout and bitter work-to-rule campaign by public school teachers. The BC Teachers’ Federation signed a one-year contract that expired last month, but any new negotiations are already strained as the Liberal government aims for a 10-year deal.

Job action at airport? THE CANADIAN PRESS RICHMOND, B.C. - Workers who fuel jets at Vancouver International Airport will be in a legal strike position on July 28, and their union is warning of disruptions if there’s no progress on a new contract. The Public Service Alliance of Canada represents 70 jet fuel workers and a further 300 emergency responders, runway maintenance workers, baggage handlers, passenger assistants and other staff employed directly by the Airport Authority. A union spokesman says talks with GlobeGround Fuel Services and the Airport Authority have reached an impasse, with both employers refusing to move on outstanding issues. Bob Jackson, the PSAC regional executive for B.C., says the jet fuelers have voted 100 per cent in favour of a strike to protest demands for split shifts and cuts to benefits. Issues for the Airport Authority workers include flexible work hours, stronger language against contracting out and opposition to a proposed two-tier wage rate for seasonal workers. The union is warning of delays for arriving and departing flights during the busy summer season if there’s no headway in negotiations.

Cancer claims Victoria child THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - The Victoria, B.C., tot who waged a battle against leukemia for most of her brief life has died in a Memphis, Tenn., hospital.

Molly was just 28 days old in December 2010 when she was diagnosed with cancer of the white blood cells. She fought the disease into remission for a year but relapsed last November and was transferred from B.C. Children’s Hospital to St. Jude’s Hospital in Memphis for intensive chemotherapy.

Poll chronicles B.C. smartphone users BY JEFF NAGEL BC Local News

If you own a smartphone and find it hard to put the device down, you’re not alone. A new poll by Insights West found 64 per cent of B.C. adults own one, they use it an average of 1.7 hours a day and have an average of 27 apps installed on it. The survey found 18 per cent of B.C. smartphone owners consider themselves strongly addicted to the device – most of those say it’s manageable – and an additional 43 per cent call it “very important” to their lives. Sixty two per cent of smartphone owners check it at least hourly and a compulsive six per cent check it more often than every 10 minutes. Self-described addicts spend an average 2.5 hours a day actively using their

phones, the poll found. Insights West president Steve Mossop said the heavy usage shows how profoundly the devices have transformed daily life and quickly become pervasive. “Look at kids and how glued they are to their devices and some of us adults as well,” Mossop said. “It has implications all around, from driving while you’re texting, to social relationships, to impacts on other things you do with your time, like exercise, TV watching and newspaper readership.” According to the poll, more than three-quarters of smartphone owners said that if they left home for the day without their device they’d return home to retrieve it. Among young adults age 18-34, the smartphone ownership rate soars to 86 per cent. Asked what sacrifices

they’d make to avoid giving up their phone for three days, 70 per cent of young adults would rather give up Facebook, 25 per cent would give up computer internet access and 25 per cent said they’d rather be stood up for a date. Just 18 per cent of younger users would give up their device ahead of those alternatives, compared to 26 per cent of users aged 35-54 and 57 per cent of those 55 and up. Checking social media is a common use. A majority of users say they use their smartphone as their main way to use Twitter, more than a computer or a tablet, while a computer was still the preferred way to use Facebook. Actually making phone calls remained the top smartphone use, just ahead of texting. But email, searching for

information, taking or sharing photos, checking the weather, researching products or services and using map apps to get directions were also among the most common uses. Smartphone ownership in B.C. now spans nearly two thirds of the population and has surpassed PVRs (52 per cent own one) and MP3 players (55 per cent), while rapidly closing in on landline telephones (71 per cent.) And it’s still climbing. At least a fifth of nonsmartphone owners said they intend to get one within the next year. Half of smartphone users have already bought something via the device and more expect to use it for purchases in the future. More than a third of those surveyed said it’s important for them to have the latest smartphone.

Revisionist history does Canadians no favours

s there a Canadian, or a significant group of Canadians, unaware of Canada’s historical connection with Great Britain? I ask the question because the Harper government seems almost obsessed with reminding Canadians that the nation was once a British colony, as if we had somehow forgotten. Recent announcements by the Canadian government regarding a review of provincial Canadian history curriculum, the ongoing rebranding of the Canadian Forces to reflect British military tradition, and the campaign to celebrate the anniversary of the War of 1812 all speak to a curious effort about why it is felt Canadians do not understand history, or why we must revert to it. As someone who identifies as a staunch Canadian patriot, I have no problem with reflecting on our country’s proud history, but a significant part of that history seems to escape the Harper government: that is, the post1945 version of Canada

that came into its own. Following the Second World War, Canada never lost its British roots, but took great strides in asserting its independence from both the British Crown and also from its American neighbours to the south. The creation of a uniquely Canadian flag and national anthem, the repatriation of the Canadian Constitution (including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms), the involvement in international peacekeeping and peacebuilding missions, and strides in human and economic development all signify the evolution of the Canadian identity since 1945. A major fear throughout these reviews of history and return to British traditions is that the Conservatives are trying to selectively erase or overshadow what they perceive as Liberal legacies in the nation’s history. Such a concern is particularly highlighted in the areas of foreign affairs and national defence, as many of the alterations

MURRAY Troy Media

made by Harper are aimed at events or policies enacted during eras when Canada was governed by a Liberal Prime Minister. For instance, the newlyannounced rebranding of the Canadian Forces back to British ranking and insignia work in direct contrast to the amalgamation of the Forces during the late 1960s; Harper’s continued refusal to use the language of Responsibility to Protect, or R2P, on the international stage, while approving missions that would seem to be premised on the same principles, is based on the fact that R2P and human

security were prominent ideas during the Chrétien and Martin eras; and the Harper government’s confounding withdrawal from multilateral institutions seems to be nothing more than an effort to promote a sense of Canadian identity divorced from previous Liberal governments. Further, the review of Canadian history curriculum announced in May of 2013 is disturbing and unusual, considering education curriculum in all subject matters is a provincial mandate. To think that a national government would intervene and possibly seek to rewrite history serves little purpose at all. The committee of federal parliamentarians that would initiate the review, dominated of course by Conservative MPs, made particular note that emphasis needed to be placed on battles in modern Canadian history. If there is a history curriculum somewhere in this country that is not teaching the War of 1812, the First and Second World Wars, the Korean

War, peacekeeping, the Cold War, the Afghan conflict or humanitarian intervention missions, that is absolutely a problem which should be immediately rectified. However, no evidence has been presented to indicate there is a problem with how students are being taught Canadian history, so why the review? Remembering Canada’s past is integral, but proper scholarship is not selective in its memory. Love or hate the governments, Prime Minister’s or decisions of the past, they all account for and impact the Canada we have today. Our history is so important precisely because our contributions to international society extend far beyond Britain, the United States and battles. My hope is that all Canadians take pride in that legacy, and not just what the government of the day deems relevant. Robert W. Murray is an Adjunct Professor of Political Science in the Department of Political Science at the University of Alberta.

cents per barrel, meaning the incentive to invest in technological fixes is very low. Setting a meaningful price on carbon price would encourage companies to innovate and invest more in emissions controls. Alberta’s current approach to greenhouse gas emissions has also been criticized for being out-of-date – its stringency has not changed since the rules took effect in 2007. In contrast, British Columbia’s price on carbon was inaugurated at $10 per tonne and gradually increased until it reached $30 per tonne last year. The average cost of compliance for a company with B.C.’s system is roughly 16 times more than in Alberta, yet the economy on the other side of the Rockies is doing just fine – undermining the argument that reducing our greenhouse gas emissions is bad for business. A meaningful price on carbon, along with a plan to meet Canada’s climate commitments, would significantly strengthen Alberta’s case for Keystone among U.S. policy makers. Given the importance of Alberta’s energy export markets, it’s surprising that the federal and provincial governments are dragging their feet on this issue. If Obama decides to reject Keystone, they will be guilty of failing to heed the truest adage of all: “The customer is always right.” Simon Dyer is the policy director at the Pembina Institute, a clean energy think tank based in Alberta.

Once is too often to leave child in car An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press Two Canadian children, one in Ontario and another in Alberta, are dead after being left in cars in the daytime heat. Governments and agencies are once again issuing seasonal warnings to parents and guardians about the rapid, debilitating effects of even a little heat, magnified in the confines of a car. No sensible adult intends to put a child’s life at risk. Some who study the predictable misfortune that strikes children every summer this

way believe at root is happenstance -- parents or guardians who forget that small children are in the back seat or believe they’ll be just a couple of minutes away from the car. The warnings are valid but the message must be more than a seasonal reminder. The tragedy that befalls victims and their families in summer often results from warm weather, but risk prevails through the year. The summer-time lapse of judgment can be the fallout of a dangerous habit formed in the other eight months, when parents believe risk is dimin-

ished and leave their children alone in vehicles. The danger is inherent in any season: Young children should not be left unsupervised in a vehicle, at any time. A 30-second quick dash into the corner store can turn into a lifetime of regret. It might be a royal pain to unlatch toddlers, babies and youngsters when running in to pay a bill or buy a carton of milk. That inconvenience is no comparison to the suffering that results when a child is injured or dies.

Dbacks take crucial games over Colville By Jim Bailey

hang on to first place, they will start the playoffs on Wednesday in Spokane against the second-place team from the National division. This game may be their biggest test as the winner moves on, while the loser’s season is over. “That’s an elimination game, so you have to advance from there,” added Handley. “If you get into the next game I think we play the first team of the American division but if we lose that game at least we’re still alive and go down to the loser’s bracket.” The top four teams advance to the state championship. The Dbacks play Rogers tonight at Butler Park at 5 and 7:30 p.m. followed by doubleheaders on Saturday at Butler, Sunday away, and Monday at Butler. See On Deck in Friday’s Trail Times for game times.

Times Sports Editor

The Federal Division leading West Kootenay Diamondbacks played a vital two-game set against second place Colville in Washington State American Legion baseball action Tuesday night at Butler Park. The 9-1 Dbacks were clinging to a one-game lead over the 12-2 Colville team going into the doubleheader Tuesday, but stretched it to three games after hammering the visitors 10-4 and 13-0. “These two games were huge,” said Diamondback coach Roger Handley. “If we run the table now, we’re definitely in first place, we don’t have to worry about them catching us.” The breathing room just might be what the Dbacks needed as they get set to finish off the regular season this weekend with a brutal eight-games-in-five days marathon. The team has definitely been buttressed by a half dozen Jays players, but even the younger players have contributing mightily, says Handley. And the key to the successful season thus far has been consistency and a positive attitude in the dugout. “I try not to let them get down, if a kid strikes out there’s someone else to pick them up,” says Handley. “If you’re not hitting the ball this game, you hit it the next game. I want to keep it positive and not worry when they do strike out.” In the 13-0 match Scott Davidson was one strike away from a no hitter, when the Coville batter chopped a sharp grounder to short. It looked to be a sure out, but at the last moment the ball took a wild hop over the shoulder of the shortstop and into left field. While it was counted an error on the scoreboard, the official scorekeeper called it a hit, spoiling Davidson’s bid for the no-hitter. Still Davidson’s effort was superb, ced-

West Kootenay Diamondbacks pitcher Scott Davidson posted nothing but zeroes on the scoreboard, and was one strike away from a no-hitter as the Dbacks swept the doubleheader from Colville at Butler Park Tuesday night. ing just one hit, and no runs, on no walks, and seven strikeouts, while allowing just two base runners all game. “He was great, loved the job he did.” Handley actually rested both Davidson and Johnson at Spokane’s Wood Bat tournament on the weekend where they went 3-2, so they could be fresh for the two-game tilt against Colville. With two out in the top of the first inning Sean Barta knocked in the winning run with a single up the middle as the Dbacks jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Barta then plated another two in the second with a double off the wall and the Dbacks extended the lead to 7-0. WKD would score four more in the fourth, courtesy of Joe Ferraro, who stepped up and cleared the bases scoring three with a drive to right

centre to make it 11-0, and safely in mercyrule territory. The Backs added two more in the fifth, before shutting Colville down and out. Barta went 3-for-3 at the dish with two doubles and a walk, while Josh Blank was 2-for-2 with two walks In the opening match Tanner Johnson allowed four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out nine for the 10-4 victory, as the Diamondbacks ended the game in rare and dramatic fashion Colville threatened in the top of seven.

With runners on first and second, and nobody out. Shortstop Allan Patterson smashed a liner towards right field but first baseman Barta made a great stab, then stepped on his base, and threw it to second base for the triple play. Colville had jumped out into a 2-0 lead in the first, but the Dbacks plated five runs in the second and another five in the fifth to go up 10-2. Ryan Sahlstrom went 3-for3 at the plate, while Ferraro had at 2-for-3 night. If the Dbacks can

Great results for local track stars By Times Staff Trail Track and Field Club athletes were off to the races at the Jack Brow Track Meet in Kelowna over the Canada Day long weekend. Six local track and field athletes took home a total of nine medals at the annual event that saw close to 200 athletes from across B.C. and Alberta compete. Masters athlete Donal Currie was golden all around with first-place finishes in the 100-metre sprint, the 200-m sprint and 1,500-m run. In the 12 year old girls division, Elizabeth Mayer rang up gold in the long jump with a leap of 3.85-m., a silver in the 100-metre dash, a bronze in the 300-m run and the high jump, and fouth-place finishes in the 800-m run, 80-m hurdles,

and 200-m hurdles. Maya Amantea and Jendaya Shields also had some good performances in nine year old girls. Shields won silver in the high jump, fourth in the shot put, fifth in 60-m hurdles and long jump, and sixth in the 100-m dash. Amantea came fourth in the 1,000m run, eighth in the long jump, and 10th in the 60-m dash and the hurdles. M a d e l i n e Kinghorn, 12, grabbed sixth place in the 300-m dash, ninth in 200-m hurdles, 10 in the long jump, and shot put. In the 10-year-old boys category Finley Kinghorn took top spot winning gold in the javelin with a throw of 18.19 metres. He just missed a medal in shot put placing fourth, and came fifth in the discus.

Saints still signing in summer by times contributor The Selkirk College Men’s Hockey team signed goaltender Aaron Oakley of Richmond to attend Selkirk College and compete for the Saints beginning in the 2013/14 B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League season. Oakley joins Selkirk following an outstanding three-year career in the Pacific Junior Hockey League with the Richmond Sockeyes and Abbotsford Pilots. He led the league in a number of statistical categories during the 2012/13 season as a member of the Pilots, including games played 33, minutes played, 1941, and wins 23. The 20-year-old also finished second amongst PJHL netminders with a 2.01 goals-against average and fourth with a .918 save percentage. His overall totals spanning three seasons in the PJHL include

“Before Coming To OK Tire, I Thought A ‘Rigid Sidewall’ held Up A Roof.”

58 wins and 21 losses with a 2.27 GAA and a .914 save percentage. Oakley appeared at back-to-back Cyclone Taylor Cups in 2011 and 2012 with the Sockeyes and Pilots respectively, and went on to win the Keystone Cup with Abbotsford to conclude his 19-year old season. He has also earned a number of individual accolades, including the PJHL’s Most Valuable Player award for the 2012/13 season. He was an all-star in all three years played in the league and was the recipient of the Top Goaltender award as a rookie with the Sockeyes in 2010/11. “He comes from a winning program in Abbotsford that demands excellence from its players, so we expect him to be well-prepared to make an impact at the college level,” said Saints’ coach Jeff Dubois.

Bargnani traded to New York Knicks THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The Toronto Raptors have confirmed the trade that will send Andrea Bargnani to the New York Knicks. “Trade w/ @knicks is done,” the team said via Twitter. The deal was reported more than a week ago but could not be officially completed until Wednesday. In return, the Raptors receive Knicks reserves Steve Novak,

Marcus Camby and Quentin Richardson. The Knicks are also sending the Raptors a 2016 first-round pick and secondround picks in 2014 and 2017. Bargnani is coming off an injury-shortened season that was his worst since his second year in the league, and had become a lightning rod for a struggling Toronto team that missed the playoffs this past season for the fifth year in a row.

The Raptors attempted to trade Bargnani this past season before two significant elbow injuries derailed any serious interest. The seven-foot, 256-pound centre was drafted first overall by the Raptors in 2006, and went on to average 15.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game over seven seasons in Toronto. The Raptors made the playoffs just once since drafting him.

ness regardless of what they think? I am in so much pain because it seems that my parents care more about my nana’s feelings than their daughter’s future. -- Devastated Dear Devastated: If this is the man you are going to marry, then do it and stop worrying about your family’s approval. You should pay attention to them if your choices are poor -- if you pick abusers or addicts, for example. But if your guy is good to you and you will take care of each other throughout life’s ups and downs, you do not need to please anyone else. While it would be sad if your family can-

friend and I just stood there because we didn’t want to get into an argument. What should we have done? -- Judy Dear Judy: It might have helped if you had simply said, “So sorry! Please excuse us. We need to catch up to our husbands,” and then called to the men so they could confirm. But people are not obligated to let you pass them in line, and you were smart not to pick a fight with these belligerent folks. We trust your husbands saved you seats on the shuttle. Dear Annie: I disagree with your response to “Rejected,” whose wife spends her time online or with her widowed mother instead of in the bedroom. If this had been a woman writing about her husband, your first reaction would have been to suggest an affair. I think this explains everything. My ex used to do the same

thing when she “visited her aunt.” I found out when I saw an envelope addressed to a P.O. Box and read about her sexual exploits. She is probably staying with him so she won’t have to give him money in a divorce. -Been There and Had It

Done to Me Dear Been: You could be right. However, he said they have been married for 34 years. For many women, sex after menopause becomes a miserable chore or even a painful experience. We wouldn’t rule

out an affair, but we think it’s more likely she’s simply avoiding intimacy. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

not eventually learn to accept this, please have the courage of your convictions. Dear Annie: My husband and I recently traveled with another couple to a different city for a sporting event. The area where we stayed had a shuttle bus to take us to the ballgame. After the game, our husbands walked ahead of us, and my friend and I were talking and didn’t realize that we were not walking toward the shuttle bus. By the time we noticed, about 10 people were in line between our husbands and us. We said, “Excuse me,” and tried to get to our husbands, and at least four people started screaming, “Who do you think you are trying to cut the line? You New Yorkers just push ahead of everybody.” They continued to make uncomplimentary remarks about New Yorkers (we don’t even live there anymore). My

All of my life, my family has been ruled by my maternal grandmother. My “nana” doesn’t approve of this relationship because my boyfriend is black and I am white, and this has caused much heartache for me. My mother says I am not allowed to bring my boyfriend to family functions, because “it will kill my grandmother.” She also says I am selfish to continue this relationship despite the fact that my parents and nana don’t approve. Annie, I’m planning to marry this man. I don’t feel that I should have to give up my happiness because my family cannot accept the man I have chosen to spend my life with.

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Friday, July 12, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be open to new ways of improving your health today because this is possible. This could be due to a suggestion from someone else or an idea that occurs to you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might see new approaches to dealing more successfully with children, or a better way to deal with a romantic partner. Some will also see ways to improve their sports technique. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a good day to recycle, sell or toss anything you don’t need at home. Be realistic and ruthless. Get rid of what you no longer use. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) In discussions with others today, you will be convincing. (That’s why this is a strong day for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching and acting.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug.22) You can dream up solid, moneymaking ideas today. You might also see new uses and applications for something you already own. Clever you! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Take a look in the mirror today to see how you can improve your appearance and create a better impression on your world. First impressions count a lot in society. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Because old issues with authority figures are back in your lap again, you might come up with some behind-the-scenes solutions today. This is a good day for research.

You intend to stand your ground. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) In discussions with others today, someone might shift your point of view about

politics, religion or racial issues. Something will likely happen that makes you rethink things for the better. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You’re in a good frame of mind for important discussions about inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt. You will defend your best interests and be persuasive about it.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Today you might see ways to improve a relationship or even improve your approach to a close friendship.
