GETTING READY FOR GRAD
Doug Jones declares intention to run BY ART HARRISON Times Staff

City employees Jen Daoust and John Harper, were on the job at the Trail Memorial Centre Wednesday morning setting the stage for the J.L. Crowe Secondary graduation ceremony slated for Friday at 7 p.m. Rehearsal for 168 Grade 12 Crowe students began that afternoon, a day earlier than usual, to accommodate Thursday’s school closure due to the teacher’s rotating strike action.
Former Local 480 President, Doug Jones, has openly declared his intent to file the necessary paperwork to enter the race to become Mayor of Trail in the coming municipal elections this fall. The 61-year-old Jones retired from his position with the Steelworkers union a year ago but says he feels passionate about the area and the community and is willing to set aside his golf game to take on the demands of running for the mayor’s job. “There’s a lot that can be accomplished and it’s a challenge I’d like to take on,” DOUG JONES said Jones. “Of course I’m not taking this lightly, I’ve had conversations with friends and family and I feel I’ve got support.” Jones said that a mayoral run isn’t a new idea for him but is something that has been in the background for some time. “This goes back further than this election,” he said. “I was approached a number of times before the last election but had already committed to staying on through bargaining.” See JONES, Page 3
Homicide investigation continues
Teachers vote for full scale strike, no date set BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
With just weeks left in the school year, B.C. teachers have voted in favour of a full scale strike, although when full-scale job action happens is yet to be determined. The result of the vote, conducted Monday and Tuesday, showed 89 per cent in favour, or 28,809 out of 33,387 ballots cast. A record high turnout in favour of escalating job action up to and including full withdrawal of services was reflected in votes cast from Kootenay Columbia teachers, according to the local union’s president. “I want to express my deepest gratitude and respect for the resounding support and solidarity shown by Kootenay
Columbia teachers by their vote in our local,” wrote Andy Davidoff, president of Kootenay Columbia Teacher’s Union in an email statement to the Trail Times. The earliest a full-scale strike could begin is Monday but with no 72-hour strike notice issued as of Wednesday afternoon, the strike start could shift to Tuesday next week or later. Full job action would close elementary and middle schools while secondary schools would be open only to conduct exams for Grade 10 to 12 students. As parents and students wait out a full strike date, Lisa Stewart, chair of the district parents advisory council (PAC) and Glenmerry PAC, said families have already been advised to make child care arrangements from now until the end of June.
“We don’t know what’s going to happen but we want them to be prepared,” explained Stewart. Parents are being constantly updated through social media and emails, she said, but if teachers walk and there’s no school, an important line of communication is cut off. “So many of our year end activities are up in the air because we usually send the information home with the kids,” Stewart said. “And if we only have three days notice we will be totally cut off from parents.” Throughout June, Glenmerry PAC sponsors various activities on school grounds including a fun day and a hot lunch special. Now those plans could be cancelled See GRAD, Page 3

As the Rossland community mourns one of its own lost through a violent act, the Southeast District RCMP continue to actively seek and follow up tips into the murder of Thomas Feeney. The body of Mr. Feeney was found in his home on Feeney Road in Rossland last Thursday following what Mounties have said is a violent homicide during a robbery. “I cannot speak to what stage the investigation is at other than to say this is a very active and ongoing investigation,” Cst. Kris Clark from the Kelowna detachment told the Trail Times Wednesday. See RCMP, Page 3

Students, family, friends, and local supporters of Kootenay Columbia Learning Centre (KCLC) gathered in the School District 20 (SD 20) facility in East Trail to congratulate 11 students as they donned black gowns and followed the procession to celebrate their high school graduation ceremony Wednesday afternoon. Graduates, Rayann Boilard, Josh Burkart, Nicole Foyle, Wayne Haines, Kyle MacKay, Alex Stansfield, Dallas Tymkiw, Kristopher Walsh, Ashley Watson, Skye Weiss, and class valedictorian, Shane Flynn, were piped into the school’s gym to be acknowledged
for their efforts in completing their studies with SD 20’s Alternative Education Program. The 11 Trail campus students join 22 others who have completed their studies through online courses and Continuing Education. The KCLC students, in addition to their academic programs, have the opportunity to gain invaluable experience through programs focusing on career and pre-employment skills, physical education, Adventure Based Learning through the Take a Hike program, nutritional programs, community volunteer activities, and social awareness and personal development through numerous guest presentations, and educational and active field trips.

are proceeding this week,” he said. “The formal school graduation ceremonies are done by staff with parents and volunteers helping.” The BCTF’s latest proposal is for increases totalling 9.75 per cent over four years, plus cost-of-living adjustments in each year tied to inflation. The province has offered a $1,200 signing bonus if teachers accept its proposal of 7.25 per cent in wage increases over six years by June 30. Teachers in School District 20 (SD20) echo the BCTF’s president’s comment that, “there is no reason why a province as rich as B.C. should be second last when it comes to funding education,” said Davidoff. “We want a deal not a fight before the end of June.”

Jones experienced at negotiating FROM PAGE 1 He said that although he had a full plate with his union position, keeping tabs on civic politics was something that always drew his attention, largely because people were encouraging him to consider that course. “I think the reason people are interested in seeing me run is I know all the players in the area, although a lot of that could change after the election,” he said. “I have a lot of experience in negotiations at high levels, I believe that I could bring some peace to this area.” In spite of the fact that the only other individual who has openly declared an inter-
est in the mayor’s position is Mike Martin, the retired general manager of Teck Metal’s Trail operations who would have sat across the table from Jones during negotiations at the area’s largest employer, Jones maintains that his current goal has nothing to do with his former position or any kind of unstated rivalry. “I want to immediately dispel any kind of union versus company thoughts right now,” Jones said. “Both Mike and I have moved on, we retired from those positions and, truth be told, he and I worked through a lot together at Teck. “This is more about what I bring to council and the com-
munity, it might be a different approach than Mike but this has nothing to do with political parties or old arguments. This is civic politics and what we can do for this area. “I want to make a difference for the community and for the surrounding area. “I was born and raised here, my whole family was raised here, my sisters are here, and my daughter owns a small business in town. I want to make it better for everyone. “I think that building integrity and trust in some of the relationships may be the biggest challenge but we need to get the community moving forward.”

Provincial Terrace
Pipeline company seeks route through provincial park By Josh Massey Terrace Standard
A pipeline company aiming to transport natural gas to a proposed LNG facility in Prince Rupert has submitted an application to go through the Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Provincial Park in the Nass Valley. The Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project is owned by TransCanada and would pump natural
gas approximately 900 kilometres from northeastern B.C. to the proposed Pacific NorthWest LNG facility on Lelu island just outside of Prince Rupert. TransCanada wants to clear a 50-metre wide right-of-way through a 14-kilometre stretch of the park west of New Aiyansh with most of the right-of-way paralleling Hwy113, the Nisga’a Highway.
The lava beds which make up a majority of the park were created approximately 250 years ago when a volcanic eruption spilled into the valley, covering two villages and killing approximately 2,000 people. The area was registered as a Class A provincial park in 1992 and is now managed in partnership with between the Nisga’a Lisims Government
and BC Parks. In its application for a park boundary adjustment, TransCanada says the 48-inch diameter pipeline will be buried and that there will be no above ground structures such as compressor stations. After the pipeline is installed, the legal right-of-way will be reduced to 32 metres, with approximately 10 metres of that

ern boundaries, but the pipeline company decided to follow the Nisga’a Highway instead to avoid waterways and culturally significant sites. The park boundary adjustment application includes a series of open houses beginning in Terrace on June 16. TransCanada estimates that there will be 110 person years of employment to Nisga’a people during a threeyear construction period of the project, with construction of the Nisga’a Memorial park right-of-way pegged for summer and fall of 2017 and predicted to take four months. Provincial legislation passed in March, Bill 4, allows companies to do assessment work within provincial
park boundaries to be used for potential park boundary adjustments applications. After the public consultation and reporting stage the boundary adjustment then goes to the provincial cabinet where an amendment to the parks legislation is granted or denied. TransCanada is still working on its plans for the remainder of the pipeline routing out of the Nisga’a territory. Their most recent map shows underwater routing from the coast down to the proposed Lelu island facility. However, other routes, including one that would run north of the Nass Valley and enter the water at Kitsault instead, are still being looked at.

board of governors, who previously voted to approve the contentious law school in Langley. Opponents within the legal community argued the Christian university’s community covenant prohibiting “sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a
woman” discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation against gay and lesbian law students and faculty. The vote was 3,210 in favour to 968 opposed. The governors, known as Benchers, made their decision April 11 after extensive debate, a number of legal opinions and a Supreme Court of Canada decision on religious freedom won by Trinity Western University in 2001. TWU president Bob Kuhn said he’s disappointed by the vote. “Difficult decisions involving fundamental rights and freedoms should not be decided by popular opinion,” Kuhn said, adding the Benchers’ thorough review “should not be undermined by a vocal group that organizes a special general meeting.” He said there’s no evidence that religious beliefs of TWU-trained lawyers would affect their ability to serve all clients. “A just society protects the rights of religious minorities.” Law Society president Jan Lindsay said Benchers will give the result of the vote “serious and thoughtful consideration.”

Lacklustre choices could lead to low voter turnout THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Uninspiring choices at the ballot box, negative campaigns and unprecedented involvement from organized labour have political observers worried that the upcoming Ontario election will be marred by yet another disappointing voter turnout. Ontarians have shown a growing propensity to stay home on election day over the past two decades, with voter turnout numbers steadily falling from 64 per cent in 1990 to a historic low of 48 per cent in 2011. Experts monitoring the most recent campaign say they fear voters have been given little incentive to buck the trend this time around. Queen’s University “There is Political Studies Professor Jonathan not a lot of Rose said the 40-day enthusiasm campaign hasn’t for any of the featured any of the usual factors that leaders, in drive people to the part because polls. I don’t think Voters are usually galvanized by either any of a single hot-button them are issue or an active ecoinspiring.” nomic crisis, he said, adding none of those Jonathan Rose factors are present this time around. More importantly, however, he said is the question of leadership. Rose said Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne, Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak and NDP Leader Andrea Horwath have all failed to capture the public’s imagination despite their stark ideological differences and clearly defined visions of how the province would look under their leadership. “There is not a lot of enthusiasm for any of the leaders, in part because I don’t think any of them are inspiring,” Rose said in a telephone interview from Kingston, Ont. “They’re not motivating people to go out and vote because of some inspirational idea.” The flat response to the front-runners seems to be born out in the various polls gauging public interest in the election. The margin between voters backing Wynne and those supporting Hudak has levelled off at roughly one per cent among the most recent survey results, with undecided voters consistently pegged at more than 10 per cent. Experts said the era of the disengaged voter makes it increasingly difficult to predict how the undecided voter will behave when election day rolls around.

Politicians preoccupied with budgets rather than fixing infrastructure, warns former bank boss
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Former Bank of Canada governor David Dodge is taking issue with the notion that balancing government budgets as quickly as possible is the key to a strong economy, or that it is a wise policy at the moment. In a new paper for the Bennett Jones legal firm, where he is now a senior adviser, Dodge analyses the two-speed Canadian economy and has some advice for governments to improve competitiveness and growth. Without naming any specific governments or politicians, Dodge makes clear that he believes now is not the time to slash and burn to get to a balanced budget. Instead, the emphasis should be on taking advantage of low interest rates to invest in infrastructure to help improve Canada’s lagging productivity, which he says is holding back the economy. The aim should not be to get deficits to zero as quickly as possible, but to reduce deficits to below nominal growth in the economy so that deficits become an everdecreasing share of gross domestic product, he says. “It is thus important to realize that in the current environment of low long-term
interest rates, fiscal prudence does not require bringing the annual budget balance to zero almost immediately. Small increases in borrowing requirements to finance infrastructure investment would still lead to declines in the debt-to-GDP ratio,” he writes. “Governments should expand their investment in infrastructure while restraining growth in their operating expenditures so as to gradually reduce their public debt-to-GDP ratio.” The advice from one of Canada’s most respected central bankers - he headed the institution between 2001 and 2008 during one of the country’s most expansive economic periods - comes at a time when the issue of fiscal policy is front and centre in political discussion. On Monday, federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver chided both Ontario and Quebec for failing to corral their deficits, tying fiscal policy in Canada’s two largest provinces to weak economic performance. The Harper government also has taken pot shots at Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s less aggressive stance on deficit elimination. Trudeau has suggested the
budget will return to balance through economic growth, without the need for aggressive austerity measures. As well, Ontario Conservative leader Tim Hudak has made fiscal prudence the central plank in his campaign, promising to eliminate 100,000 public service jobs if elected on Thursday. By Dodge’s analysis, which he co-wrote with Bennett Jones advisers Richard Dion and John Weekes, one of the chief problems with the Ontario and Quebec economies is loss of competitiveness since 2003 as higher commodity prices, particularly for Alberta oil, pushed up the dollar at the expense of central Canada’s manufacturing sector. From 2008 to 2012, he says, Canada benefited from favourable terms of trade due to elevated commodity prices, but the spoils were not evenly spread. “At the same time as they were buttressing real national income and domestic spending, the high commodity prices and terms of trade contributed to keep the Canadian dollar strong, thereby holding down real net exports,” Dodge said. “The resulting negative impact on real GDP would have varied considerably across provinces ... Ontario
likely experienced relatively more severe losses of output than other regions of Canada as a direct result of losses in exports.” As well, Dodge says although commodity sales were a net gain for Canada, the gain was “highly concentrated in commodity-producing Western Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador.” “The net impact of the terms of trade on real domestic income, on the other hand, we estimate to have been positive for most provinces but not for Ontario.”
In another recommendation, Dodge warns against Canadian regulators falling too closely in line with global financial system reforms being implemented as a result of the meltdown in 2008 that triggered the worldwide recession. While he agrees with forcing banks to retain more capital to backstop their operations, the move to “deadweight” regulations that add to compliance costs is lessening Canada’s advantage in the sector, he says.

All eyes on Clark as pipeline decision nears
W
ith the federal government’s decision on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway oil tanker and pipeline proposal expected within the next week, the political hot potato is definitely back in B.C. Premier Christy Clark’s lap. Throughout 2012 and 2013, Clark doled out a lot of tough talk when it came to Northern Gateway, going so far as to tell the Toronto Globe and Mail that pushing ahead with the pipeline would spur a “national political crisis.” “Whether or not people supported the pipeline, they would band together to fight the federal government if they decided to intrude into British Columbia without our consent,” she told the newspaper in October 2012. “This project can only go ahead if it has the social licence to do so.
It can only get the social licence from the citizens of British Columbia,” she pointed out. Speaking to Calgary university students the same month, Clark pointed out the B.C. government could withhold 60 different permits or refuse to hook pumping stations up to the province’s electrical grid. “The thing is, if British Columbia doesn’t give its consent to this, there is no way the federal government or anyone else in the country is going to be able to force it through. It just won’t happen,” Clark said. These statements don’t leave a whole lot of room for Clark to manoeuvre, especially considering the Globe recently reported that none of her five conditions for approving heavy oil pipelines have been met. It’s a point that hasn’t been overlooked by B.C.

environment and democracy campaigners. Earlier this month, Forest Ethics Advocacy launched a new campaign called Stand Strong Christy. “Thousands of British Columbians from across the province are sending messages calling on Premier Clark to continue opposing Northern Gateway and standing up for our watersheds, coast and children’s future,” said Nikki Skuce, ForestEthics Advocacy senior energy
campaigner. “With (Prime Minister Stephen) Harper’s likely approval of the pipeline, we need our premier to stand with the majority of B.C. and push back on ever getting Northern Gateway built.” Meanwhile, another B.C. group is organizing for a citizens’ initiative to put the Enbridge pipeline to an HST-style vote if Clark reverses her position on the project. Dogwood Initiative reports it has 75 local teams collecting petition signatures in advance of the federal government’s decision. “For this pipeline to be built, First Nations along the route as well as a democratic majority of British Columbians would have to support the project. Neither appears likely,” said Kai Nagata, Dogwood’s energy and democracy director, in a
press release. And another campaign, led by LeadNow and ForestEthics Advocacy, is targeting the 21 Conservative MPs in British Columbia who could feel the electoral fall-out in the next election if the feds green-light Northern Gateway. While the feds certainly deserve to feel some heat, it’s Clark on whom the spotlight is likely to shine the brightest in the shortterm, given her election promise to “put B.C. first” and “stand strong” on her five conditions. When the Northern Gateway announcement comes down, British Columbians are going to look to Clark to put her money where her mouth is – and it’s hard to see how she’s going to hand off the hot potato this time around.

Defend Medicare forum on June 18
I am writing to draw your readers attention to a serious threat to Canada's Medicare that could change our public health care system into one modelled after the United States two-tiered, for-profit system. A legal challenge to Medicare has been initiated by Dr.Brian Day, owner of the Vancouver based, for-profit Cambie Surgical Clinic which is known for unlawfully billing for medically necessary care. When patients complained and Dr. Day got wind that the complaints would be investigated, he started the legal case in an attempt to get around the law. The case, which will be heard in the BC Supreme Court this fall, has been called “the most significant constitutional challenge in Canadian history”. If Dr. Day is successful and wins this case, it could have far reaching effects across Canada and for all of us. It would open the door to a US style system where a family of four pays $16,000 annually for health insurance often with less coverage than under Medicare. There are some 45 million
Americans who have no coverage, and health care costs are the major cause of bankruptcies in the US. Such a system would drain physician and other resources from public health care and result in even longer wait lists in the public system, particularly for those without the ability to pay. We are all aware of the wait times and other stresses on Medicare, largely due to years of under funding of health care by the two senior levels of government. We also know that we have excellent staff at the direct patient care level. However, at the end of March this year, the Federal Government unilaterally and without consultation, terminated the Canada Health Care ccord which resulted in the loss of millions of dollars by the provinces who have the primary responsibility to provide health care to its citizens. The BC Health Coalition and Canadian Doctors for Medicare have been granted intervener status in the case which means they can participate directly in the case. In the effort to defend
Medicare in court it is important that the people of B.C. also speak out to support them and the BC Government in vigorously fending off this attempt to privatize health care in Canada. It is essential that we do this in order to ensure that the principles of Medicare (universality, accessibility, portability, comprehensiveness and non profit administration) are maintained for all citizens, now and in the future. To this end, the Society for the Protection and Care of Seniors (SPCS) is holding a Defend Medicare Forum on Wednesday, June 18,2014, 7 p.m. at Trail United Church (1300 Pine Avenue). The keynote speaker will be Rick Turner of the BC Health Coalition and there will be an opportunity for questions and discussion, along with refreshments and a visit with friends and neighbours. For those with questions, please can call me at 250-3641487. Ron Cameron SPCS director Trail
Grad party mess disappointing
So I went out for a drive to the Pend D’Oreille on Friday and I was so disappointed at the way it looked. Last Thursday was grad and it sickens me how disgusting this year’s grad class left it. There was garbage left everywhere. I’ve tried getting in touch with Crowe but no-one has gotten back to me. The garbage sat out there all weekend and when some Grade 12 were confronted they said they were to hung over and had school that’s why they didn’t pick it up Friday. When I went out Friday it was at 6:30 p.m. so they could have came after school. Apparently some went and cleaned up Friday but they didn’t take the garbage with them then left a big box and two huge garbage bags. I went out Sunday to go to Buckley and drove past the grad spot again and it was still gross. They left the two garbage bags and a big wooden box of garbage in the middle of the stag field. There was still garbage lay-
ing around on the ground and their empties were scattered all over the place. Now what bothers me is I go out to the Pondy every weekend to camp, and when I’m done it doesn’t matter if I’m hungover or still drunk I still have to clean my mess before I leave and have to take it with me. Where in the heck do they think it’s okay to go cleanup the next day. This is a road that I travel quite often with my five-yearold daughter and it’s sad to hear her talk about the huge mess that the grad class left. She was quite upset that they would leave it where all the baby animals live. She asked me what will happen to the babies if they get into the garbage? There is a fox den and a coyote den in that area that both have had batches of pup. It is now Monday and there is still garbage out there and empties scattered throughout the trees and grass. When I went on Facebook and saw that some of the resi-
dents that live in the Pend D’Oreille have gone and cleaned up the mess that the Grade 12s left out there. It’s not the responsibility of the residents to pick it up. It should have been Crowe and the grad class out there cleaning up. And to top it all of they have their stag on someone’s private property. How do you think they feel when they go out there and see the mess all these young kids have made? As a person who loves being out in the bush it makes me sick to know that these kids are treating our Mother Nature like crap. Either Crowe needs to step forward and apologize for this or they need the students to. Maybe they should just do stag at the school from now on so that these teenagers stop hurting our beautiful world. Those mountains are my back yard and I don’t want to see them shut down cause of ignorance and stupidity Viki Walts Fruitvale

After graduation from high school, May attended Pitman Business School in Vancouver returning to Kimberley to work as a cashier at the Bank of Montreal. In 1944 she married Ken. After the birth of their first child in 1947, May’s priority became one of being a mom. In 1971 May and Ken moved to Trail where they resided for 36 years before moving to Langley, B.C to be closer to their children and grandchildren. An avid gardener, knitter, pianist, bridge player and crossworder, May also enjoyed her sports – bowling, badminton and golf. A lifetime member of United Church Women (U.C.W.), May was active in Trail United Church and sang in the choir. Another passion was the Trail Hospital Auxiliary where she worked tirelessly wrapping bandages for use in the hospital. May’s greatest joy was her family. She was predeceased by her husband of 64 years, Ken, in 2008. May will be lovingly remembered by her children Leiana Wilson (Craig), Robert (Karen), Colin (Sharon) and Ilene Dyck (Andrew). On June 14, after a private interment service, the family invites you to join them in a Memorial Tea reception at the Trail United Church at 2:00pm. *** BELL, Carol Ann – 50 years old, of Trail, BC passed away on March 5, 2014.

MARTHA HYER
Actress starred alongside Sinatra and Bogart THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Martha Hyer, an Oscarnominated actress who starred alongside the likes of Frank Sinatra and Humphrey Bogart, and later gained notoriety for her extravagant lifestyle, has died. Hyer passed away May 31 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Raymond Lucero of Rivera Funeral Home told The Associated Press. She was 89. Born in Fort Worth, Texas, the easygoing actress began her movie career with a small role in the 1946 movie “The Locket,” but she got her big break in the 1954 comedy “Sabrina,” starring Bogart and Audrey Hepburn. In that movie, she played the fiancee of a character played by William Holden. Hyer would later write in her memoir that Bogart was helpful in scenes with her. She reportedly once turned down a date request from a young Sen. John F. Kennedy and began acquiring more high-profile roles
during the 1950s. In 1951, Hyer married director C. Ray Stahl, who directed “The Scarlet Spear,” which starred Hyer. The marriage ended in divorce three years later. She was nominated for an Academy Award as best supporting actress for her role in the 1958 “Some Came Running,” starring Sinatra, Dean Martin and Shirley MacLaine. The movie was based on a James Jones novel and brought her critical acclaim for her role as a schoolteacher being wooed by writer and war veteran, played by Sinatra. Hyer lost the Oscar to Wendy Hiller for her role in “Separate Tables.” Hyer would later say that loss devastated her. After the Oscar nod, Hyer would star in a number of American and foreign films that garnered little attention. But she gain notice for her expensive taste thanks to a 1959 Life magazine photo feature highlighting her Pissarro painting and show-
ing her getting a massage dressed only in a towel. By the 1980s, Hyer found herself millions of dollars in debt to loan sharks. In 1966, she married film producer Hal Wallis, who took her to New Mexico for the first time during the filming of “Red Sky at Morning.” Hyer remained married to
RAFAEL FRUEHBECK DE BURGOS
Spanish conductor dies
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MADRID, Spain - Rafael Fruehbeck de Burgos, one of Spain’s most prestigious conductors who performed with dozens of orchestras around the world, has died. He was 80. Fruehbeck de Burgos died Wednesday from cancer, his management company Musiespana said in a statement on its website. The illness had forced him to announce his retirement last week, it said. Born in the northern Spanish city of Burgos, Fruehbeck de Burgos studied at the Bilbao and Madrid conservatories and later in Munich. He was principal conductor of the Spanish National Orchestra. During his career he performed with dozens of orchestras in Europe, the United States, Canada, Japan and Israel. In the U.S., he appeared with the New York Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, among others.

‘Stroke of luck’ saves man on Kootenay River Bystander rescues man after boat capsizes
By Will Johnson Nelson Star
Chris O’Gorman was walking his Russian mountain dog Boris along the Kootenay River on the Slocan Pool Trail Monday morning when he saw an overturned boat circling in a back eddy. “I could see a boat out there but I couldn’t quite hear what the voice was saying. I could hear that it was one syllable over and over again, and that caught my attention. That doesn’t sound like conversation. I looked out and I was like is that boat okay? It was pretty far away on the other side of the Slocan Pool,” the 39-year-old South Slocan resident said. Then the 12’ aluminum boat pivoted with the current. “I could see it was an overturned boat with somebody half on top of it. I hear him say ‘help, help, help.’ So I ran back toward the trailhead because I’ve got my canoe stashed in the bushes near the trailhead. I’m running and I’m thinking what am I going to do? I don’t have a lifejacket, I don’t have a paddle,” he said.
Then he spotted a “flattish sort of board stick” lying nearby and grabbed it. And after instructing Boris to wait on shore, O’Gorman pushed out into the current. “The river’s raging right now. You know, white caps and swirling. I had to cross the main current and it was pretty gnarly. I didn’t have a proper paddle to negotiate it. I was yelling at him the whole time saying, ‘I’m coming, hang on.’ I didn’t know if he could hear me because the current was so loud.” Finally, O’Gorman reached the 84-yearold Glade resident. “I could see at that point he’s got a lifejacket on. He’s an old guy, hanging on and it was starting to look like he was losing it. I said to him whatever you do, don’t flip me. I realized he probably didn’t have the strength to pull himself into the boat without endangering us. So I gave him my tow rope and started paddling to the other shore, the south shore.” With the dead weight of the senior behind him, it took O’Gorman “10 to 15 minutes of givin’ ‘er” to reach safety. He was worried his makeshift paddle would snap before he could reach

the shore. “I was just dripping in sweat. So overheated. I was fighting the current,” he said.
“I was yelling at him the whole time saying ‘I’m coming, hang on.’” Chris O’Gorman
When they reached the shore, O’Gorman had the man strip off his clothes and he rung them out. He started to prepare a fire. But after assuring that the man wasn’t experiencing hypothermia, he decided to make the trek back across the river. “I thought maybe the best thing is to load him up in my boat and take him across again. I’m exhausted at this point. Got him to sit right in the bottom so we’ll be low centre of gravity,” he said. Crossing meant navigating the main current again, and this time O’Gorman was caught in a whirlpool. “We started spinning in circles. It was kind of sketchy. I thought if he goes in again, he’s done.” But this story has a happy ending, because shortly after they reached the shore
and O’Gorman drove his new friend home. He spoke to the man’s wife, told him to get her husband in a hot shower, to feed him soup and tea, and then he headed back down to the river to retrieve the man’s boat for him. “I remember he was like `that’s it for fishing season. I think I’ll stick to golf’,” said O’Gorman, with a laugh. Around that time, O’Gorman saw emergency vehicles. “I saw two pass me. I think one was search and rescue with SeaDoos on the back. I was like right, I guess I should call somebody,” he said. Dog walkers had alerted emergency services when they saw the overturned boat with nobody in sight. The RCMP received the call at approximately 11 a.m. “I called them and I was like hey, just in case there’s a search going on, I got buddy safe. He was the only one there. It’s all good.” O’Gorman was relieved to find out they were already retrieving the man’s boat and taking it to Glade. “I was like great, I don’t have to go back into that river,” he said. When asked how he felt after the ordeal,

O’Gorman smiled and shrugged. “It was pretty obvious at the time. You see a guy yelling for help out on the lake? I’m just glad I had a boat. If I hadn’t had a boat there was nothing I could’ve done. I’m just so thankful I had a boat there. It was a stroke of luck for everyone.” And when pressed
about whether or not he was scared, O’Gorman laughed. “Once I got out into the current I realized how dangerous it was, you know? I felt vulnerable not wearing a lifejacket. “I’m a guy who always wears my lifejacket and I thought if I go down here, I’m done. Of course it’s
fresh in everyone’s mind after what happened at Slocan Lake.” O’Gorman personally knew one of the fourth youths that recently drowned. He said another friend drowned last year on the Skeena River. He’s happy that neither he nor the man he rescued have been added to that list.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAO PAULO, Brazil - It’s almost time. The day Brazilians have been anxiously waiting for is finally arriving. Brazil plays Croatia tonight to get the home World Cup underway, beginning its quest for a sixth world title almost seven years after the nation was picked as host. After so much talk about delays, protests and problems, fans at last are getting a chance to cheer for the national team on home soil in football’s showcase tournament. If Brazil wins the opening game, the fact that the stadium in Sao Paulo isn’t even fully finished yet will quickly be forgotten. A loss, quite simply, is unthinkable for a nation whose identity is so closely linked to its football team. Brazil hasn’t hosted the World Cup since 1950, when it endured a heartbreaking loss to Uruguay in the final. This time, everybody knows that only the title will be enough to please the home crowd. “We are all eager to get started, we are just counting the days,” Brazil midfielder Ramires said Tuesday. “We know that the fans have confidence in our team and they are behind us. We have to do everything possible to try to win this World Cup. We know everybody is expecting us to do it.” Boosted by the home crowd, Brazil is one of the main favourites to recapture the trophy won by Spain four years ago in South Africa. But the other usual World Cup contenders will be trying to spoil the party in the land of football, including Germany, Italy, Argentina and the Netherlands. , runner-up in 2010. Brazil is trying to become the first nation to win the World Cup at home since France did it in 1998. The Brazilians were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the last two tournaments, to France in 2006 and the Netherlands in 2010. A festive World Cup atmosphere has taken over Brazil in the run-up to the tournament despite the country’s preparation problems and the threats of protests. Brazilians had been slow to get into the World Cup mood, but now streets are being painted with the green and yellow colours and local flags are being displayed on windows of homes across the country. The crowd support is one of the biggest reasons coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has been saying loud and clear that Brazil is obligated to win the World Cup at home. Players also don’t hide that they believe Brazil is the main title favourite. “We know that we will have the fans behind us, and together I think we have a great chance of reaching our final goal, which is to win the World Cup,” Brazil starting midfielder Luiz Gustavo said. Brazilian fans had been questioning the national team before last year’s Confederations Cup, but the title in the warm-up tournament was enough to bring the fans back on board. See HOST, Page 12

Sports U.S. Open
Despite number-one status, Scott still seeking success at Open THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PINEHURST, N.C. Adam Scott is trying to build a golf game that can travel to any golf course in the world for any tournament. He can only hope it knows the way to
Pinehurst No. 2. Or any U.S. Open course, for that matter. Scott goes into this U.S. Open as one of the favourites because of his game, his form and his world ranking. The Australian didn’t reach
No. 1 in the world by accident. He has won six times around the world in the last two years and really thrived in the majors. He won the Masters last year for his first major. He could easily
have won the last two U.S. Opens. He was in the hunt at the PGA Championship last year at Oak Hill. But the toughest test in golf? Scott hasn’t broken 70 at the U.S. Open

Scott is among the best drivers in golf and has been for the last two years. That would seem to suit him well at a U.S. Open, where accuracy is always a premium. His putting comes and goes - not even the long putter has cured that inconsistency. But the rest of his game is well-
rounded. “Maybe it’s coincidence that I haven’t had my best stuff at a U.S. Open,” Scott said. “But I certainly feel like where my game is at now, and the past few years, I should be able to compete here. I’m trying to build a game that can play anywhere.”

in five years. He has missed the cut as often as he has made it - six times each. And in those six times he completed 72 holes, he has yet to finish under par. His best performance as a tie for 15th. “I’ve talked to you all about 10 years of playing pretty average, by my own expectations in majors, and tried to improve that the last few years,” Scott said Wednesday. “And I think I’ve done a good job - but maybe not quite as good at the U.S. Open.” Scott is riding some reasonably good momentum. In his first week at No. 1 in the world, he won at Colonial. A week later, he was tied for the lead at the Memorial with seven holes to play until he put one tee shot in the water and took two shots to get out of a bunker. Even so, he has no complaints with his game.

The victory came in a final against world champion Spain. “The Confederations Cup allowed us to regain our confidence,” said Scolari, the coach when Brazil won its last world title

if he isn’t willing to discuss the loan and reach an agreement. Dear Annie: You get lots of letters from husbands or wives who are unhappy and asking, “What went wrong?” Maybe the trouble is that while they were planning a wedding they forgot to plan a marriage. I performed my first marriage ceremony 60 years ago and have done several hundred since. Some were in large churches with fancy flowers, string quartets and an exquisite reception. Some were in my living room with only the bride and groom in their Sunday clothes.
at his aunt’s house. This son is a financially secure 32-yearold businessman, not a teenage boy bicycling around Europe. The missing ring is between him and his cousin. In addition to the possibility that the niece simply misplaced the ring, it could also be a setup. The aunt called her nephew, not his mother. Mom has no place in this contretemps, yet you advised her to speak to her son when he returns, and even suggested she offer to split the cost of the ring. Why should Mom offer anything if her son is innocent? If she in any way admits that her son is at fault, it will poison the relationship between her and her son. And if he did steal the ring, he should pay the full cost. Either way, it is not Mom’s place to fix it, and you should have said so. -- Annoyed at You Dear Annoyed: Our concern, actually, was
not the son or the ring. It was the relationship between the sisters. You are absolutely right that the son is responsible for working this out, and we should have said so. But we also know how difficult it is for a parent to stand by and
watch a family situation deteriorate over such accusations. Even though the issue is between the cousins, we suspect Mom fears losing the affection of her sister, and that is where our advice was directed. (Although the idea that this might be
a setup did not occur to us. Heavens.) Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net.

There is quite a difference between a wedding and a marriage. A wedding is the civil and/or religious ceremony that ends in the signing of a certificate making the whole thing legal. A marriage is a covenant between two people who promise to love, honor and cherish each other. My advice to any couple planning the kind of wedding they will have is to first ask what kind of marriage they will have. -- Retired Methodist Minister in Texas Dear Minister: It’s true that some couples are so focused on the trappings of a wedding that they don’t give enough thought to what comes after. And what comes after is meant to last a very long time. Dear Annie: Your advice to “Upset Mom in USA” made me angry. She said her son was accused of stealing a ring from his cousin when he briefly stayed
2014 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.
Dear Annie: I’ve known “Ted” all my life. About 10 years ago, I loaned him $1,000. He never repaid it, and I could really use that money now. Ted lives in a different city, and when I phone him, he refuses to discuss it. In the past, I had given Ted money outright, but this was absolutely a loan. I made sure he knew that, but I didn’t ask for a promissory note or any interest. If I hire a lawyer to sue him for the loan, I’d lose half the money paying the lawyer. Ted’s mother once warned me not to loan money to friends. What can I do? -- Should Have Listened Dear Should: You could try to retrieve the money by suing Ted in small-claims court. You generally don’t need an attorney to do this, but you are likely to lose the friendship permanently. You might want to warn Ted in advance that this is your intent

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Friday, June 13, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is the kind of day where a “what goes around comes around” vibe is very strong. Therefore, be aware of this. Be kind and generous to everyone. (Ya think?) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be patient with others today, especially siblings, but most especially be patient about financial matters. Your patience will pay off; trust me. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This Full Moon energy is still strong and could cause you to be at odds with those who are closest to you. (Naturally, we only get angry at those we love.) Stay mellow. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You will have moments of deja vu, where people from your past -- especially ex-partners and exspouses -- are back in your

life again. Consider this an opportunity to have peaceful closure. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Focus as much as possible on being efficient and productive today. And while you’re doing this, help others to be efficient and productive as well. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Take every opportunity to be kind to children and young people today. It might present itself, or it might not. If it does, consider yourself lucky. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Value your relations with your mother or other female relatives today. Do what you can to show your appreciation. You won’t regret this. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You have a strong desire to talk to others today, because you want to enlighten them about
something. Be helpful if you can. It’s a good day to smooth over troubled waters. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Focus on financial matters today. More than that, look for ways to be generous to others. This might be big or small. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The Moon is in your sign today, which brings
you good fortune. If you are kind and generous to others, your good fortune will continue! This is an infallible formula. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Seek out ways to enjoy peace and quiet today. You might want to meditate or do yoga or stretches on the floor. (That’s all I do.) Do something that makes you more peaceful and selfaware.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A conversation with a female could be significant today. Listen to what this person has to say. She might give you advice that will help you achieve your future goals. Who knows? YOU BORN TODAY You are a dreamer and seeker. You have your heroes, and yet, ironically, people view you in heroic terms because you are so adven-

Brain Injury Awareness Month Sheri Regnier photo
June is Brain Injury Awareness Month in the province, and for the first time the West Kootenay Brain Injury Association is highlighting Patrick Johansen’s paintings in an event at Waneta Plaza in Trail on Saturday from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Johansen is a Trail man whose life changed forever on July 9, 22 years ago in a car accident. A the date of his accident approaches, Johansen said the day has always been like any other, but that could change next year. He and his girlfriend are considering having their wedding on that day and said, “Why not turn a bad into a good?”
