Columbia River not affected by fuel spill, says ministry
SPLASHDOWN
BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
Reports that a stream of the 35,000 litres of jet fuel spilled into Lemon Creek on Friday by an overturned tanker truck made its way down Kootenay River and possibly into the Columbia River, are being dispelled by BC Ministry of Environment (MOE). According to the MOE the likelihood that the Columbia River was contaminated is minimal although the water is being monitored. “There has been no evidence that jet fuel has reached the Columbia River,” said David Karn, media relations for MOE, in an email to the Trail Times. “There remains a lot of work to do in assessing the river and this will take time to complete.” However, further downstream south of the border the Washington State Department of Ecology, located in Lacey, Wash., has been notified by the ministry. MOE is required to notify the U.S. by an agreement, called “CANUSWEST”, which was developed 20 years ago to mitigate the effects of oil and hazardous material spills on health and safety, environment and property on either side of the B.C./U.S. border. “Further information has been provided (to the U.S) when and as requested,” said Karn. On Sunday, MOE staff participated in a flyover and observed trapped jet fuel along the Slocan River in log debris. Control points have been established in the Slocan River to capture any product that comes loose from further upstream, said Karn. “The ministry will continue to monitor this situation long-term and ensure clean-up and remediation is undertaken by the responsible party,” said Karn. Environmental disasters like the jet fuel spill call to question if the local regional district has an up to date plan to respond to hazardous material spills. “We (RDKB) went through a compete plan revision in November 2012,” said Dan Derby, Emergency Services coordinator and assistant Regional Fire Chief. Derby said that due to the remoteness of the West Kootenay, any incident, hazardous or not, is focused on an organized rally of local resources to ensure quick response. “When we activate our plan, because we are rural, the issue is more about staffing,” said Derby.

Fire danger remains high ahead of long weekend BY ART HARRISON Times Staff
In spite of nearly a month with little precipitation there is no change to fire restrictions in the region but that could change next week. “At this point there are no restrictions on campfires but we’re maintaining the open fire ban for the region,” said Jordan Turner, fire information office for the Southeast Fire Centre. “We’ve got a fire official monitoring the situation and we are considering a ban as early as next week, depending on precipitation in the next few days.” Although it’s still hot and dry locally, Environment Canada is predicting
unsettled weather in the coming days, with a possibility of thunderstorms, which could in turn mean an increased possibility of wild fires. For those considering camping this weekend, Turner wants to remind the public to be careful and follow the B.C campfire regulations. “Campfires have to be kept to a half meter by half meter and campers are required to either have a shovel on hand or eight litres of water to put the fire out,” said Turner. “They are also required to maintain a fire break at least one meter around the fire and are never leave a fire unattended.” The only wildfire of note in the region
is still the Perry Ridge fire burning in the Slocan Valley, which has been burning since July 24. The lightning caused fire currently covers 96.8 hectares and is rated as un-contained. The Southeast Fire Centre has 103 firefighters and eight helicopters committed to fighting the blaze. “The fire danger rating for our region is mainly high, with a few pockets of extreme danger around Grand Forks and Nelson,” said Turner. “Other than the Perry Ridge fire there is a small fire, less than one hectare, in the Mt. McGregor area, 22 kilometers east of Nelson. We have an initial attack crew on the scene there.”

O
kay, paying for good automotive maintenance can be disappointing. Yes I just replaced the timing belt in my minivan. I am close to 200,000 kilometres and I used the approach that I would be happy with another 200,000 kilometres. Yes it got a timing belt, timing belt tensioner, timing belt idler pulley, water pump, new coolant, and a power steering belt. My alternator belt is squealing still and needs replacing but I had to order an automatic belt tensioner. The wear in this automatic tensioner pivot point is the cause of the squeal (I hope). That was a lot of work, a lot of money, and limited satisfaction. Certainly I increased my vehicle’s reliability, but does it drive any better? No! So, what the heck?

More than 250 people packed into the Winlaw Community Hall Tuesday night and 100 more spilled into the parking lot outside for an emotional information meeting about the jet fuel spill in Lemon Creek. Organized by the Regional District of Central Kootenay, the meeting was intended to provide information and answer questions about the 33,000 litres of jet fuel that was dumped into Lemon Creek on Friday afternoon after an Executive Flight Centre tanker truck toppled into the water source causing an eventual evacuation of 800 residences. “I’m very concerned about the health of my family and the health of my community,” said an emotional Jane Flotron who owns a small farm one kilometre from where the spill took place. Chaired by RDCK regional fire chief Terry Swan, the panel included representatives from Interior Health, the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Environment, RDCK area directors, Ministry of Agriculture, Executive Flight Centre and consultants working on the clean-up effort. Questions and concerns ranged from the availability of drinking water to the process used in the Friday/Saturday evacuation to whether the company responsible for the spill will face formal charges. The tone was at times anger and frustration, but also appreciation for the efforts being undertaken so far by officials. As he has done previously, senior VP of Executive Flight Centre Wayne Smook apologized when given his turn on the microphone. “We know water and the watershed is very important to this valley,” he said. “I truly apologize, but it was an accident.” Interior Health’s Medical Health Officer Dr. Trevor Corbeil told the crowd that the Do Not Use order will stay in place for at least the next few days. “I can tell you now, you will not be using the water for the next five days,” Corbeil said, adding that it could be even longer before Lemon Creek, the Slocan River and the Kootenay River are cleared for any kind of ingestion or recreation.

BY ADRIAN MACNAIR South Delta Leader
Delta’s parents will have to find alternate transportation after a meeting between the school district and the province failed to yield fruit. Delta School District Chair Laura Dixon travelled to Victoria last Wednesday (July 24) with senior staff to meet with Education Minister Peter Fassbender about the province’s change to the transportation funding formula, which resulted in a 47 per cent reduction of Delta’s budget. Dixon said she was told the reason for restructuring the bus funding formula was that it would serve most of the needs of most of the districts. Fassbender reportedly told Dixon some of those districts, such as Delta, haven’t fit the formula. The issue will now be sent to the province’s technical review committee, but it doesn’t meet until well into the fall and no date has yet been set. “That means there will be no review and/or any alternate structure of the grant in time for this school year,” said Dixon, adding it didn’t come
as a surprise given some of the discussion Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington has had publicly in the legislature. “The minister says they’re now taking another look at the overall funding formula, and I think it will make a difference,” said Huntington last week. “We’ll have to wait and see what their proposals are and go from there.” Delta faces challenges that other school districts do not, with three distinct communities separated and interspersed with thousands of hectares of active farming which results in a low population density. “Anyone can see that Delta isn’t an urban area,” said Huntington. “If we lose our school bus service, there’s no transit–not in the agricultural areas. And students can’t be expected to cross our highways twice a day. It’s simply not safe.” Even if the technical review committee decides to change the grants at some further date, Dixon said it won’t include new funding overall in the province. “They stressed to us that it would be unlikely that they
Bear spray becoming weapon of choice VICTORIA NEWS A spike in the use of bear spray on the streets of Victoria is prompting the Victoria Police Department to remind retailers of their obligations when selling the product.

Police warn the use of bear spray as a weapon can lead to numerous charges including possession of a dangerous weapon, carrying a concealed weapon or varying levels of assault.

would start taking money away from other districts,” she said. “They have just arrived at this new funding formula, they believe that it serves the best interests of the majority of districts.” That doesn’t mean the Delta School District isn’t exploring other options. Dixon said she has a meeting with TransLink in the beginning of August, while some Boundary Bay parents will rent the district’s Academy Bus to transport their children to Beach Grove Elementary. That plan may include dropoffs to South Park Elementary and South Delta Secondary. “The number one thing we’re encouraging parents to do is to make sure they have arrangements made for September for their families,” said Dixon, adding if they’re unable to do so they can apply to see if there are open spots on the buses that transport special needs and disabled students. But since special needs buses aren’t available in every catchment area, Dixon said it’s not a solution for most parents.

outbreak, nine people have died at Selkirk Place along the Gorge waterway, but officials are cautioning they haven’t linked any of the deaths directly to the flu-like illness. “Those deaths have not been attributed to the outbreak of norovirus,” said Sarah Plank, Vancouver Island Health Authority spokeswoman. The virus, which causes vomiting and diarrhea, may have been a contributing factor in some of the deaths, Plank said. Staff at Selkirk Place have been following standard out-
break protocols while 11 people currently remain ill, she said. “That means isolating sick patients in their rooms and bringing them meals rather them going to the common dining room, trying to limit visitation and doing lots of extra cleaning.” VIHA functions as an oversight body in cases of contained outbreak, providing guidance and ensuring regular updates are provided to public health officials. The independently run Selkirk Place opened in December 2008 and offers assisted living for seniors.

PEOPLE OBITUARIES SMITH, TREVOR — of Trail, BC, passed suddenly and unexpectedly at home July 26, 2013 with his loving wife Denise by his side. Trevor was born November 27, 1935 in Trail, BC. He was predeceased by his older brother Philip, his parents Doris and Brynmor, and most unexpectedly, his eldest son Kevin. He is survived by his loving wife of 56 years Denise, his son Kerby (Betty), his daughter Karin and his daughter-in-law Geralyn. He was extremely proud of his grandchildren Trevor Jr. (Stacie), Michael (Stephanie), Danielle (Brian), Katie (Cory), Emily (Kris), Erik and Tristan. He busted his buttons on becoming a great grandfather to Aiden, Jaxon and Theo. From an early age he knew he wanted to join the air force, and he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1953. After meeting the gal of his dreams, and after a whirlwind romance, he married his Deenie in 1956 and they lived the dream; seeing and experiencing a great deal of the world and bringing their 3 young children in tow behind them. Trevor finally finished his air force career in 1971 after serving peacekeeping duties in Baden, Germany for 4 years. He brought his young family back “home” to Trail to settle and set down roots. He quickly became involved in the local air cadet program; giving back to many young men and women over the years as commanding officer to both Trail and Castlegar squadrons. Trevor was also a lifelong Royal Canadian Legion member, a great accomplishment and one he was most proud of. He was an active Legion member, serving numerous terms on the executive in various roles. He loved his morning coffee banter with “the boys” at the branch and was always willing to offer a helping hand, no matter the task. “Oh! I have slipped the surly bounds of earth and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings” - JG Magee Jr A Memorial Service will be held in late September, 2013 at the Trail Legion. Further notification will be posted. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements. The family would like to send out most sincere thanks to the local BC Ambulance Service Team and the KBRH Emergency Department for their valiant efforts and compassion. As an expression of sympathy, the family

You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca *** KOCH, DAVID — 1938 – 2013 David passed away suddenly of natural causes at home on July 26th, at the age of 75. He is lovingly remembered by daughters Dana and Colleen; his sister Sandra Erdman (Alvin) and family Neal, Wayne, and Colin; and his loving companion Lorraine Silbernagel. He is predeceased by his wife Peggy (2006). David was born in Kelowna and soon moved to the small mining community of Allenby close to Princeton, BC. He bussed to Princeton for school where he met Peggy, his wife of 48 years. Soon after high school graduation, David and Peggy were married and they began their life together in Vancouver. He worked for a brief time at BC Tel before taking his X-Ray Technician training and moving to Trail, BC in 1963. Dana and Colleen were born in Trail before 1969 when the family moved to Kamloops where David became manager of the X-Ray department at Royal Inland Hospital. David retired in 1996 and he and Peggy were off and running on their many retirement plans – golfing, RVing, winters in Arizona. After Peggy’s death in 2006, David maintained his bright, energetic outlook that we so loved, and he was blessed to have met his companion Lorraine with whom he continued his retirement adventures. His daughters have always been a source of pride and joy – Dana lives in Kamloops and Colleen in Vancouver. David was delighted at having Dana close by and loved Colleen’s visits where they would spend weeks together. David was a wonderful father, a devoted and loving spouse during Peggy’s long-term illness, and a cherished friend to those who knew him well. He loved to have a good time, could talk your ear off, and was not afraid to call bullshit when he saw it. David will be greatly missed by his many friends and groups to which he belonged, including: Jaycees, St. Andrews Lutheran Church Congregation, Juniper Sams, the Casa Grande gang, Blazer Boosters, Kam-

She was 96. Helen was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, on 5 June 1917 to Helen Wordy Underbakke (nee Machan) and Askel Osten Underbakke. She had one brother, George Austin, who died in October 2012. She was predeceased by her husband Alton Raymond Dahlstrom in 1993. Her second husband, John Nystuen, died in 2000. Left to mourn are her two children, Carol Dahlstrom and David Dahlstrom; her daughter‐in‐law, Margith Dahlstrom; her grandchildren, Kirsten Boldt, Per Dahlstrom, and Lise Dahlstrom; her granddaughter‐in‐law, Joey Dahlstrom; her great‐grandsons, Olin, Ty, and Finn; and her nieces and nephews, Susan Hood, Lois Lewis, Jon Underbakke, Ronald Harrod, Valerie Klusa, and Boyd Thorson. Helen spent her childhood years with her family in Hanley and Radville, Saskatchewan, where her father worked for the CNR and her mother was active in the Eastern Star. She showed early promise as a pianist. As a child she travelled regularly by train to Regina for lessons and showed exceptional focus in her daily early‐morning practice sessions. She earned her Associate diploma from the Royal Conservatory of Music when she was 13 and her Licentiate diploma when she was 14. She performed and taught in Regina, Winnipeg, and the BC interior until her retirement to Victoria in 2009. She was an inspired teacher and mentored scores of students toward the professional excellence that she herself had achieved. In addition to her career as a concert
Wednesday. It said in a statement that he died Tuesday and gave no further details. Beitz and his wife, Else, were honoured by Germany’s main Jewish group in 2000 for saving hundreds of Jewish workers at an oil field he managed in occupied Poland from deportation to Nazi death camps. German Chancellor Angela
pianist and accompanist on stage and radio, she conducted a number of choirs during her years in the West Kootenays. She was a highly respected examiner and adjudicator, and worked tirelessly first as president first of the BC Registered Music Teachers’ Association and then as president of the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers’ Associations. It was during these years that she was instrumental in starting Canada Music Week. Helen married Alton, the love of her life, in 1941, and their children were born during the two years following their marriage. They spent the war years in Regina and Winnipeg, where Alton, a recent graduate in law from the University of Saskatchewan, served in the Canadian army. The family moved to Rossland, BC, in 1947, where Helen and Alton made a comfortable home for their family and were active participants in community life for over five decades. They enjoyed a wide circle of friends; their friends were always welcomed in their home with grace, humour, and good will. During their children’s growing‐up years, they made annual summer road trips to Victoria and also spent many happy summer holidays at Christina Lake. After raising their children, Helen and Alton travelled extensively abroad and spent many winters in the warmth of Palm Desert, California. Helen enjoyed the final years of her life at Berwick Royal Oak in Victoria, where she made many good friends among both residents and staff. Neither her grace nor her sense of humour diminished in her elder years, and these qualities endeared her to those surrounding her at Berwick. The family wishes to thank the medical staff at Victoria General Hospital, including Dr. Pi and the GEM team, who cared for her and her family so compassionately during Helen’s final illness; Dr. Stephen Roome; nursing‐team‐leader Jennifer Stanley and her staff in the care unit of Berwick Royal Oak; the administrative and dining room and staff at Berwick Royal Oak, particularly Margot and Adrienne; and especially Janette and Al Kelly, of Helping Hands, for their devoted and loving friendship over the past several years. Cremation and burial have taken place at the Royal Oak Burial Park in Victoria. A family celebration of Helen’s life will be held at a later date. To honour Helen’s remarkable contribution to music in Canada, if they so wish, friends are invited to make donations to Conservatory Canada (45 King Street, Unit 61, London, ON N6A 1B5 www.conservatorycanada.ca).
Merkel called Beitz one of the country’ most distinguished and successful businessmen and stressed his “brave and exemplary support for Jewish workers during World War II.” The President of the German Council of Jews in Germany, Dieter Graumann, said of Beitz: “He was a great man. Together with his wife he saved the lives of hundreds of
Jews - I wish there had been more people like him,” Graumann said. In 2000, the Jewish Council awarded Beitz its highest honour, the Leo-Baeck Award. In 1973, Beitz was given the Righteous Among the Nations honorific by the Israeli Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum- the highest honour given to a Gentile, or nonJew, for saving Jews.

Trudeau’s stance on pot a refreshing policy option
L
egalizing marijuana use in Canada could be the best way, and maybe the only way, to protect children inclined or forced to use the stuff. That’s the view of Justin Trudeau, leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, and the only Canadian political figure of note to have the guts to speak to the issue. Immediately and predictably attacked by his political opponents, Trudeau is none the less right to suggest that we, as a society, need to consider new approaches to an ages old problem. Trudeau’s view is likely new to most Canadians, though he has mused about it publicly before. Readers might also be surprised to hear that many Latin American politicians and policy analysts are saying the same thing. The issue is far too complex to address in a short column, but we can agree there is a need to explore alternatives of our current way of dealing with drugs. Let’s also allow that
marijuana use will damage your health, and that legalization would have consequences. There is a tendency among most politicians and editorialists to use that argument to dismiss change out-of-hand, when they should be willing to at least explore the possibilities. The argument for legalization would primarily be an acknowledgement of failed social policy. It is a fact, even a sad one, that human beings will explore the use of substances that alter their state of mind. It is certainly sad that many millions of North Americans live desperate lives as a result of overuse and resulting addiction. The question of what is to be done about it is challenging. It was U.S. President Richard Nixon who established the so-called “war on drugs” in the 1970s, which beefed up policing and military activities in the United States and in countries around the world that supplied drugs to American users. That “war,” as Trudeau rightly suggested, has been

a complete, abject, costly, failure on all levels. Drug use is more rampant now than then. Highly militarized and monumentally wealthy cartels are also trafficking in armaments and humans, as well as drugs. Our response politically has been to spend even more money, only to see 50,000-plus people killed in Mexico alone over the past half-dozen years. Ironically, even though the United States, and by geography Canada, are the main markets for drugs in North America, the most active minds and voices on the subject are in Latin America. As recently as May of this year, an Organization of American States (OAS)
report concluded that governments of the hemisphere need look seriously at the potential value of legalizing marijuana. The OAS has never been known for its radical take on things, and is in fact highly conservative. It has been forced into taking this stance by its members, with Canada and the U.S. on the wrong side of the prevailing view. Predictably, President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Stephen Harper have dismissed the idea out of hand. It is mind-boggling that such smart men are so afraid of considering the idea, particularly when so many equally smart people are open to its consideration. It seems that Obama and Harper are satisfied with the status quo, the deaths, social disruption and gang violence in their communities. Marijuana is the most widely used illicit substance on the planet, driving an underground industry in the billions. Making its use legal could severely impact gang activity everywhere. Selling it as we
do alcohol and cigarettes would allow for limits on strength and additives, and control in sales to minors. Tobacco styled warnings could be put on packages, and driving under the influence treated severely. The billions of dollars generated in taxes could be used to treat addictions for all kinds of drug use and pay for public education campaigns. People will continue to use drugs and our choice is to either continue advancing policing and military responses or to examine reasonably considered alternatives. Justin Trudeau should be applauded for having the courage to address the issue. It would be nice to see other Canadian policymakers, political analysts, and editorialists join in a serious examination of the possibility and potential of change.

finning. This is also false. As long as there is a demand for shark fins, there will be local industry pressure on governments not to prohibit the practice. This demand will also perpetuate the poaching of sharks in the waters of countries that already prohibit finning. Canada has already been identified, for example, by CSIS as a destination country for poached shark fins from Australia, even though some Australian states have some of the world's strongest shark finning laws. Eliminating the demand removes incentive for fishermen to continue finning and poaching sharks. We had a chance in the House of Commons to take a major step to end this disgusting practice. However, during the vote on March 27, 2013, Bill C-30 was defeated 143 to 138, denying this bill being sent to Committee. As a result, this bill regrettably died in Second Reading. It is my hope that C-380 was able to generate enough support across this country so that one day soon, we will have the necessary legislation to put an end to shark finning. I would like to thank Fin Donnelly for all his efforts to bring this issue forward. Alex Atamanenko is the MP for BC Southern Interior
Cellphone videos fight police abuse An editorial from the Toronto Star Imagine there was no video of 18-year-old Sammy Yatim’s death - only a terse police news release noting that a knifewielding man, acting erratically aboard a Toronto streetcar, had been fatally shot after refusing an officer’s repeated orders to drop his weapon. Some eyebrows would have been raised, given the troubling history of Toronto police shooting mentally ill people in the act of brandishing various household implements (a paring knife, scissors, a small hammer). Some concern would, no doubt, have been expressed. But the public wouldn’t be outraged the way it is, with utter justification, by Yatim’s fate. Video made it obvious that there was no compelling need for an officer to open fire on the teenager when he did. A crowd of police was clearly shown confronting one skinny youth, standing alone on an empty streetcar. And footage captured the sickening poppop-pop of police gunfire as
nine shots (nine!) were discharged, pointlessly followed by the buzz of a taser. Video made it impossible to dismiss Yatim’s death as another sad but understandable case of an officer compelled to administer deadly force. It opened a door to, eventually, obtaining justice in this case. And thanks are owed for that footage to the people who stopped at the scene, recorded what happened, and posted it online for the world to see. Everyone, but especially police, operates in a different world than just a few years ago. People are legally allowed to take pictures in a public place and the ubiquitous nature of smart phones means potential videographers lurk virtually everywhere. That makes surveillance a two-way street. Sophisticated monitoring technology has made it possible for government bodies, like the National Security Agency in the United States, to indiscriminately track billions of phone records. U.S. officials targeting foreigners, including
Canadians, continuously scour Internet communications for incriminating audio, video, email and photos. Even on local city streets, closed circuit cameras are used by police to monitor public conduct. But, thanks to citizen videographers, Big Brother isn’t just watching the masses - the masses are watching back. And that can produce tangible results. The most prominent Canadian example is the case of Robert Dziekanski, a Polish man who died in Vancouver’s airport after being repeatedly tasered by RCMP officers he had threatened with a stapler. A bystander recorded footage of that outrage and the RCMP was eventually forced to apologize. More such revelations are inevitable, and welcome. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is surely worth thousands more - perhaps enough to generate to real justice for Sammy Yatim and a real change in Toronto police behaviour.

Roxburgh adds another B.C. title to legacy DeBiasio finishes second

Volunteers from the local pickleball community were out on Wednesday morning measuring and chalking lines to gauge and prepare the Butler Park courts for the addition of up to four pickleball courts.
Pickleball getting its day on the court By Guy Bertrand Times Staff
In a city rich in sports history, another chapter was quietly being written out in chalk Wednesday morning in East Trail. A flurry of activity at the Butler Park tennis courts signalled the official arrival of sport that has been growing in popularity by leaps and bounds. Although pickleball has been a mainstay in Trail for over five years, Wednesday marked a day when the sport was ready to leave its mark on the city's impressive list of sporting facilities. Armed with grant money from the Columbia Basin Trust and Teck, the pickleball volunteers were busy marking out the court dimensions that will transform the Butler Park courts into a dual-purpose facility. Wayne Kissick, a volunteer with the pickleball group, said it has taken three years to get the sport to this point in the Home of Champions. “What finally got it going was the city designating one
(Butler Park) court for pickleball,” he explained. Once it's all done and approved, the courts will feature two tennis courts and up to four pickleball courts (pending allowable space). Thanks to its smaller playing court, four pickleball courts will only occupy slightly more than one of the existing tennis courts. Before Wednesday's initial outlines of the pickleball area, the players used temporary netting in the Cominco Gym and Fieldhouse for winter play and used the tennis courts and nets at Butler Park for summer play. They drew up lines on the existing tennis court to allow for play. Now they'll have their own dedicated outdoor space with permanent posts installed, hopefully before the end of the year. Kissick explained that moving from the existing tennis nets to the standard pickleball nets will improve the quality of the game for
the growing legion of participants. “Absolutely, the low net is the big part. A lot of the game play is mainly at the net.” For those unfamiliar with the sport, pickleball netting is two inches lower than standard tennis nets. The game is played with a hard paddle and plastic wiffle (pickleball) ball. The pickleball ball typically moves at one-third the average speed of a tennis ball and the court is just under one-third the area of a tennis court. Before the green light was given to take part of the facility dedicated to tennis, the tennis-playing community was canvassed, explained Robert Baker, the City
of Trail's facilities manager. “We did a bit of community engagement with the tennis players and they were relatively agreeable,” said Baker. “But the reason this is happening is because of the volunteers. Give them all the credit.” He added no taxpayer money was used for the transformation and the volunteers are doing all of the leg work raising funds and plotting out the courts. Next it will be put out to bids for the installation of the posts. Creating its own dedicated space is simply the next step in a sport Kissick called “the fastest growing in North America.” The numbers sup-
port that claim. Trail has 60 players currently coming out at various times of the year to play. Although pickleball was introduced at the B.C. Senior Games only a few years ago, it has become the third largest participation sport at the Games. Twelve local players will be representing the region at this year's Games in Kamloops. “The sport is booming in every region of the province,” said Kissick. Now that Trail has taken a step towards dedicating an area for pickleball, the door opens to opportunities to host tournaments and events. “Pickleball players will travel anywhere to play,” said Kissick.
“Before Coming To OK Tire, I Thought A ‘Rigid Sidewall’ held Up A Roof.”
By Times Staff With 13 B.C. amateur and four Canadian amateur titles under his belt, Doug Roxburgh knows how to close out a tournament win. The Canadian Hall of Fame golfer wrapped up another title on Wednesday when he captured his first B.C. Senior Men's Golf Championship at the Eaglepoint Golf Resort in Kamloops. Roxburgh, who won a B.C. Amateur title in Castlegar in 1989, fired a one-under par 71 to finish at six-under par and a three-stroke victory over Trail native Brian DeBiasio. DeBiasio, who tied for fifth at last year's senior championship, carded a twounder par 70 on the final day to finish the 56-hole event at three-under par. DeBiasio, who now golfs out of the Pheasant Glen Golf Resort in Qualicum Brian Beach, had four birdies DeBiasio on Wednesday's round but couldn't shake the steady Roxburgh who closed with an even-par 36 on the back nine. Former Rossland-Trail Country Club member Kim Hay closed the tournament with a flourish carding a one-under par 71 to finish at eight-over par for the tournament and tied for 18th. Hay currently golfs out of the same Qualicum club as DeBiasio. Meanwhile, the four West Kootenay golfers in the event failed to make Tuesday's 36-hole cut. Fruitvale's Brad Harding, making his first appearance in a seniors' provincial, fired rounds of 82 and 84 for a two-day total of 168. A trio of Castlegar golfers also missed Tuesday's cut. Dan Knutson had rounds of 87 and 85; Alex Perehudoff had rounds of 91 and 82 and Victor Jmaeff posted two rounds of 90. The senior championship is actually several competitions rolled up into one. The Senior Division is for players between 55 and 64 years old. The Super Senior Division is for players 65 and up. Ray Henry of Victoria captured that honour finishing the tournament at five-over par. The first two rounds of play crowned the zone team champions, which is made up of the low three of four scores for zone team. That title went to the Zone 6 team from Vancouver Island, which included DeBiasio. The B.C. Senior champion will represent the province at the 2013 Canadian Senior Men's Championship, which is scheduled for Aug. 27 – 30 at the Briars Golf Club, Sutton West, Ontario.

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO – The underachieving Blue Jays, movers and shakers during the off-season, were quiet on non-waiver trade deadline day Wednesday. Toronto GM Alex Anthopoulos says while says his team, 49-57 heading into the day’s play, needs to improve, there was nothing that made sense. He cited “some traction’’ on two possible deals, one of which fell apart last week while the other collapsed Tuesday morning. “Other than that it was pretty quiet overall,’’ He acknowledged the team was most interested in a starting pitcher and middle infield help. “Then there were some other ideas thrown at us that were larger concepts but they weren’t things we needed to rush to do now,’’ he said. The deadline has now passed but teams can still make a deal during the season. But moves are more difficult since the players in question have to pass waivers. Also players traded after Aug. 31, can’t make the post-season roster. Anthopoulos said while he didn’t expect a lot of action league-wide in August, some talks might turn into trades in the off-season. “There’s no question we need to make improvements, we need to get better,’’ he said. “The results and the standings speak for themselves.’’ In the off-season, Toronto acquired R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson as well as position players Melky Cabrera, Maicer Izturis, Emilio Bonifacio and Mark DeRosa. Anthopoulos said the deals the team was working on in recent days never made it into the media.

Nelson Star
Every August long weekend, Lakeside Park beach and surrounding streets are transformed into a triathlon course for the Cyswog ‘n’ Fun race. Hundreds of competitors, their supporters and casual observers arrive at the park bright and early to be ready when the gun goes off at 8 a.m. Athletes will move through three consecutive stages — swim, bike and run — covering a total of 27.5 kilometres on the short course and 50.5 km on the long course. This endurance sport is designed to truly test your stamina. After an hour or two (or three for some doing the long course) of continuous exercise, every racer should feel a great sense of accomplishment as they cross the finish line. The Nelson triathlon course, through the chilly lake and along hilly roads, is more challenging than most.

Look for new place despite parents’ offers Mailbox
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
kids would appreciate their parents’ offer to stay rent-free, we agree that you should strike out on your own. Loving parents guide their children to be independent. You don’t need to keep saying you are moving out. Simply save your money and find a place you can afford, in whatever city you prefer. Research job and educational opportunities. What you cannot do is expect your parents to cover your expenses when you no longer live at home. Good luck. Dear Annie: I’m a married female in my early 50s and haven’t had a real friend in more than 20 years. It’s
get to know someone in middle age, when friendships are already entrenched from work, church and community. You would need to make a greater effort, inviting someone for lunch several times, before the comfort level promotes a closer friendship. In the meantime, please look into the Red Hat Society (redhatsociety.org) and meetup. com for people in your area who are actively looking to make new friends. Dear Annie: Your answer to “Loved the Show, Disliked the Seat,” the person whose seat at a Broadway show was partially taken over by a “rather large” woman, was totally off the mark. You said to show tolerance. That’s absurd. The person whose personal seating space is being invaded needs to go to an usher or, better yet, to management and request another seat. Chair arms at
performance spaces are there for a reason. If someone feels that he or she needs more space than the establishment has allotted, he or she should make arrangements for special seating. Obese people are required to buy two
seats on airplanes. Why not do the same for theaters and sports stadiums? -- Been Sat On at a Performance, Too Dear Sat On: Going to an usher or management is a perfectly valid way to address this. Unfortunately, it usually necessitates
missing part of the show to locate someone in authority and finding equally desirable, unoccupied seats elsewhere. Charging double for theater seats is an argument we don’t have space for here.

not a question of meeting people. They just don’t seem to gravitate toward me. I’m considerate and clean and have a good sense of humor. I’m a bit on the shy and quiet side, but I’m friendly and a sympathetic listener. I have often made the first move and invited someone to join me for lunch. They accept and seem to enjoy our time together, but they never reciprocate. At work, everyone seems to buddy up with someone else, and though everyone appears to like me, I have no buddy of my own. I’ve been to counseling twice and have read books on making friends, and neither has helped. I appreciate that I have a good marriage, a good job, great kids and a nice home, but the absence of just one good friend saddens me greatly.

Dear Annie: I’m a senior in college and live at home. My parents, especially my father, are controlling and overly attached to me. I’ve had enough and am planning on moving away the second I graduate, but my family doesn’t seem to get this. They tell me about graduate schools and full-time job opportunities in or near our town. They’ve offered to let me live rent-free in the house if I stay in the area after college. These “suggestions” are starting to pile up, and graduation seems so far away. I can’t let myself fall into the same trap that got me to stay with them at the start of college.

discreet. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your experiences dealing with others in groups will yield a few surprises today. You might meet someone unusual or something rather amazing might happen. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your relations with bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs are unpredictable today. However, if someone offers you an opportunity, act quickly because this window will be brief. (You’ll have to think on your feet.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your routine will vary today because sudden opportunities to travel might fall in your lap. Or you might meet someone unusual, from a different background or another country, or a lively discussion will amaze you.

banking, taxes, debt and loans. Something unexpected could be brewing. Make sure you know what it is. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Someone close to you might surprise you in some way today. (This person is probably a female.) Whatever happens might make you feel freer or younger. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The introduction of new
technology could be one reason something is different at work today. Or computer crashes and technological glitches might occur. It’s not a typical day. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Love at first sight might blossom for some of you. (Eyes across a crowded room.) Spontaneous invitations to social events are likely. Say yes!
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Something unusual or different will happen at home today. Your routine will change. Unexpected company might show up at your door, or a party might break out.
