Labour Relations Board rules teachers must mark provincial exams despite strike

BY TIMES STAFF School District 20 is asking students to clear out their lockers and return their books today, as summer vacation may arrive early due to the on-going labour dispute.

But rest assured strike-bound teachers in British Columbia must mark provincial exams for senior students and have final grades ready for graduating students, the province's Labour Relations Board has ruled.

In its decision issued Thursday, the tribunal said teachers must be available to supervise provincial exams scheduled for Grades 10 through 12 students locally between June 18 to 24.

The ruling came on the heels of

g the Securin nay Koote and ary Bound area

the BC Teachers' Federation serving 72 hours' strike notice for teachers to be on the picket line by Tuesday for a full scale withdrawal of teaching services, potentially ending the school year more than two weeks early.

Union president Jim Iker said teachers will be off-site Monday for “study sessions” where they will discuss their union's revised proposals, including wage demands.

“While schools will be physically open, starting Monday there will be no instruction,” explained SD20 superintendent of schools Greg Luterbach in a letter to parents.

“For safety reasons, I ask that parents keep all children home from school starting Monday until further notice.”

Given the uncertainty of the situation, students will be asked to remove all their personal possessions from schools today; this includes the return of library books

and textbooks, excluding grades 10-12 course books needed to prepare for provincial exams.

“We are awaiting a ruling from the Labour Relations Board as districts have requested that transportation service be deemed an essential service for those specific provincial exam times,” said Luterbach, adding buses will not be running as of Monday.

He said parents will be updated should an agreement be reached prior to the end of the school year.

The union and the employers' association are far apart on several

issues, including wages and classroom conditions.

The union has been asking for a 9.75 increase over four years, but Iker would not reveal the new proposal Thursday. The employers' association has offered a 7.3-percent hike over six years, along with a $1,200 signing bonus if a deal is reached before the end of June.

“You know what my hope is, actually? That at those study sessions on Monday our members will be looking at a settlement deal and see if it works for them,” Iker told a news conference Thursday morning.'

The union announced on Tuesday teachers had voted 86 per cent in favour of launching a full-scale walkout after 16 months of contract negotiations.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Thursday that the strike notice was not unexpected, See BARGAINING, Page 3

An increase in double-wide strollers being pushed around town may have some people wondering whether there is something in the water.

That thought crossed 27-yearold Liz Swanson's mind before she became a member of the Twins of Trail (TOT) Facebook group that connects Trail area moms to share trials and tribulations of carrying, labouring and raising twin babies.

The Fruitvale mom was one of many who took part in the group's first play date held at Fruitvale's Strong Start last month.

When Warfield resident, Rob Hamilton, was a 14-year-old member of the local Air Cadets who happened to attend a weekend pipes and drums seminar in Creston in 2005, he probably didn’t have any grand plans about where learning to play the bagpipes might take him.

Now, nine years later, he is a member of the Vancouver Police Pipe Band (VPPB) and is currently in England, preparing to play at both Buckingham and Windsor Palace for Prince William and possibly even the Queen this Sunday and Monday.

The VPPB is 100-

years old this year and decided to take on the U.K. trip as a celebration of its centennial. After spending almost two years navigating the complicated process of obtaining approval through the Canadian

High Commission and British Home Office, as well as doing some serious fundraising, the band members finally received an email from the group’s Pipe Major that this spring that it had, “received confirmation from the Household Division that H.M. Queen Elizabeth II [had] approved our request to perform the Beating Retreat followed by providing musical support for the St. James Palace detachment of the Queen’s Guard.”

The band will be playing at two Beating Retreat ceremonies at the Horse Guard’s Parade ground and six Guard Mountings (the official name for the Changing of the Guard ceremonies) four of which are at Buckingham Palace and two at Windsor Castle.

The VPPB is, purportedly, the first nonmilitary band to play at a Guard Mount in 350 years.

Hamilton recalls his start with the Trail Pipe Band which led him, eventually, to the current honour of playing for the Royal family.

“When I got back from the Creston trip I was contacted by

Gordon Titsworth, who invited me to come out to extra practices he held on Thursday nights at Webster Elementary free of charge,” said Hamilton in an email Tuesday from the U.K. “After about half a year he helped me purchase a set of bagpipes and a few months later I started turning out with the Trail Pipe Band on Wednesday nights.”

Titsworth said that, even as a young teenager, Hamilton’s interest in the pipes and his personality made him stand out from the other kids.

“There were three boys who came back with chanters from the workshop and he was the only one who stayed with it,” said Titsworth. “He just fit in immediately and he just loved the instrument. He was adult right from the beginning and with his particular sense of humour, he fit right in with the band.”

After graduating from Rossland Secondary School, Hamilton carried on to Selkirk College and eventually to Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, to pursue a degree in history,

where he spent eight months playing with the award winning Simon Fraser Pipe Band.

Finding the practice schedule with the highly competitive Simon Fraser band too much to maintain with his studies, Hamilton took a break until last September when, on a visit home, Murray McKenzie, Pipe Major of the Trail band, suggested he try out for the Vancouver Police Band, and put Hamilton in contact with another former Trail member, Dave Glover, who is now a member of the VPPB. After an exchange of emails with Glover, Hamilton started with the VPPB last November, leading him to now be in London anticipating his royal debut.

“I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of this. It is truly a oncein-a-lifetime event,” said Hamilton. “I’m grateful to the people in Trail who taught me how to play and got me started down this road and put up with me.

I’m also very grateful to the VPPB who welcomed me into their group with no hesitation and nothing but encouragement.”

Bargaining set to continue over weekend FROM PAGE 1 but acknowledged that students and parents are stressed by the situation.

He said the government will be at the bargaining table over the weekend to try and avert a strike, but that the union must sit down “with reasonable responses to find a settlement.”

Iker said the union will not budge on what has been the biggest stumbling block in negotiations: demands for smaller classes and composition, which includes specialist teachers for students with learning difficulties.

The government has docked 10 per cent of teachers’ pay during job action and imposed a partial lockout that barred them from coming to work more than 45 minutes before classes start or stay later than 45 minutes after classes end.

It also announced it would lock out all secondary school teachers on June 25 and 26, with all teachers fully locked out on June 27.

Iker said that has prevented teachers from doing their job and “created a lot of chaos, a lot of confusion” though he’s hoping a deal can be reached to avert the full-scale walkout next week.

“Let’s get this deal this weekend, and there won’t be a full-scale strike. We end the lockout.

That’s what we want.”

Hospital confirms twin births on the rise recently

FROM PAGE 1 symphony of baby cries form the backdrop to the group’s first gathering.

“I started drinking coffee once I had twins,” she laughed.

“I’ve never been so surprised and it was a lot of hard work but I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

News of two babies didn’t come until half way though pregnancy, leaving her and her partner Demitri excited but also in shock.

Her mom moved over from Kaslo for the first four months to help the family transition by preparing meals and cleaning so they could focus on being new parents of two.

“Really for these guys as long as mom was rested, everything was fine,” she said. “We tried to keep a few things sacred like sleep, nap time, schedules . . . we were very strict, probably a lot more strict than a lot of parents of singles.”

Survival was paramount, she said, admitting that it wasn’t until the boys turned nine months old that they breathed a sigh of relief.

“We’re kind of in a position now where we’re like ‘We did it, we made it and now we have two

kids,’” she said.

There are at least a couple times a day where Trail’s Dionne Deadmarsh, 34, finds all of her babies (two-and-a-half-year-old Mesha and five month-old twins Maci and Mylee) screaming at once. That said, it’s comforting to be among women who are experiencing the same precious and challenging moments along the way.

“It seems like every way you turn someone is either pregnant with twins or just had twins,” she said.

Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital confirms that twin births have been on a steady rise in Trail since 2011/2012 when three sets were born to 2011/2012 when this figure bumped up to four to 2013/2014 when like-twin births doubled to eight sets welcomed into the world.

“We do wonder about the increase because the spontaneous rate of twinning is 1 in 80,” explained Dr. Anne Dobson, a Trail OBGYN who takes care of all the high-risk pregnancies at the Trail hospital with professional partner Kathryn Hale. “When you look at our population if we have 3366 Laurel Cres

250-350 deliveries a year and it should be 1-80 then we should have 2-4 a year.”

But to understand the larger picture, would involve a comparison of spontaneous and artificially induced twinning.

Twins are two offspring produced by the same pregnancy and can either be monozygotic (identical), meaning they develop from one fertilized egg that splits and forms two embryos, or dizygotic (fraternal/non-identical), developed from two eggs, each fertilized by separate sperm cells.

“As an OBGYN it’s one of the highest risk pregnancies that there are because every single risk will increase,” said Dobson, adding these may include high blood pressure, diabetes and or prematurity.

Over half the twin births will be delivered before 37 weeks with babies ready to come out before 32 weeks sent down to Vancouver.

The birth date will depend on the health of the mom or babies and though the team is always after a vaginal delivery, at times a cesarian is administered. Women expecting twins always deliver in an operating room should an 1954 Old Salmo Road

emergency c-section have to take place.

“The second twin gets tricky,” explained Dobson. “The second twin can come in any way . . . it could be feet first or it can come out sideways —transverse—and ultimately we have to reach in and grab the baby and get it out” Carrying twins for 37 weeks with a baby still in her arms was no easy feat for Sheri Ferraro but she managed to get by with tremendous family support.

The Trail mom already had a baby at home when she received the news that left her “baw ling on the table –-thrilled.” The 41-year-old now has three-yearold Evalynn and 17-month-old Vincent and Kenneth to keep her busy.

“I think because they were born so close together, Evalynn has never known any different so it’s been good that way,” she said.

“Whereas I think if I would’ve waited a little bit longer, it would have been more challenging because she would have already been in a routine and I would have had to break it.”

Ferraro spent 17 years in Vancouver before moving

home—soon after marrying Shane. Her single days became but a memory when a year after marriage she was pregnant with one and shortly after she was blessed with two more.

“I think it’s almost easier waiting because you have more patience when you get older, because you really want it and because you’ve already lived your life,” she said. “We’re established already and have the resources to be successful parents.”

The boys are a healthy 30 and 35 pounds now filling out much like young Shane did to earn the nickname Spud.

“Kenny is very cautious,” said Ferraro. “Vinny is no holds barred and will just do it while Kenny will wait until Vinny succeeds and then he’ll try it.”

Fruitvale’s Selena McAlpine, 31, is still waiting to see the dynamics in personality between her nearly five-month-old twin girls Georgiana and Calais all while her over three-year-old Vaila discovers toddlerhood—it’s limits and freedoms.

“You look at one and obviously you can’t imagine having one without the other,” she smiled.

Congratulations to the Grad Class of 2014!

We wish you all a safe and memorable graduation. All the best in your future!

City of Trail Boundary Expansion into Columbia Gardens (Electoral Area A) Benefits & Advantages As the Boundary Extension Alternative Approval Process (AAP) for the City of Trail’s intent to extend its boundaries into Columbia Gardens (Electoral Area A) proceeds, the City would like to reiterate the benefits and advantages of the boundary expansion to the public. There are many considerations from the City’s perspective that lead to Council’s approval of the Boundary Expansion Proposal.

It is important that accurate details, in particular those details pertaining to property and net taxes, are communicated and understood.

Teck property taxes will not be frozen, but capped at 55%. The Teck Partnering Agreement calls for Teck’s property taxes on the Smelter to be reduced from the current apportionment level of 62.73% based on the City’s net municipal property tax levy, to 55% over 5 years. Once this level is reached, the apportionment remains constant but Teck’s property taxes will then be subject to increase as the City’s municipal budget increases; any increase in the municipal budget will result in Teck picking up 55% of this cost. As an example, if the municipal budget increased by $100,000 year over year, Teck would assume $55,000 of this increase. This is very favourable from the City’s perspective and results in an improvement over the current Council Revenue Policy, where a 50% factor is applied to budget increases for major industry.

The move forward to expand the City’s boundaries should lead to improvements in the City and the entire region. Council recognizes the importance of diversification and not relying too heavily on one taxpayer. The expansion will see the City reduce its fiscal dependency on major industry. This will result in local tax revenue that was previously going to the Province of BC. The additional revenue coming from the expansion represents an opportunity to improve local services, infrastructure and further diversify the tax base. In order to remain a sustainable region, thinking and planning for the long-term is of critical importance.

The benefits of the boundary extension are as follows: • A net financial gain to the City over the first five years of $1.618 million (Economic Development and Capital Contribution from the Teck Partnering Agreement); • An ongoing community investment commitment by Teck of $225,000 indexed by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), also focused on economic development; • Maximizing the utility of the lands through carefully planned infrastructure improvements and greater emphasis on marketing the area, the lands and the benefits to investors; • Enhance the opportunity for future development in and around the Airport on the City owned lands; • Potential for future job creation; • Reduced costs for many of the property owners in the boundary extension area, which they can potentially reinvest back into their businesses; • Planning and policy guidelines consistent with the City of Trail which will hopefully result in improvements and a more “business friendly” approach to development; • A significant partnership developed with major industry that results in a stabilization and sustainable level of tax revenue in addition to other revenue streams and Teck’s commitment to be more directly involved in economic development; • Teck’s agreement to withdraw past property tax assessment appeals; in addition the agreement will insulate the City from any future assessment appeals and the need to repay property taxes that were previously levied and collected if appeals are successful.

Council approved the AAP to obtain the approval of Trail’s electors on Thursday, May 29th. Consent of the property owners in the proposed boundary extension area will proceed concurrently with the AAP. The AAP process will conclude on July 7, 2014 and the timeline for the property owners to provide their consent will expire on July 2, 2014.

THE CANADIAN PRESS SPARWOOD, B.C. A man declared a longterm offender after he snatched a three-yearold boy from his home in Sparwood is appealing his seven-year prison sentence.

Randall Hopley was sentenced last November for his role in the September 2011 kidnapping of Kienan Hebert from a secondfloor bedroom.

Following a fourday RCMP search for the child, Hopley returned Kienan to the family’s home.

Hopley has a history of sexually abusing children but Kienan was apparently not assaulted during his time with his abductor.

Kienan’s father, Paul Hebert, said he’s

shocked that Hopley is appealing the sentence and that he’s worried the long-term offender will hurt others.

Hebert said his son is doing well but still talks about the abduction.

Hopley’s sentence includes six years and two months for Kienan’s abduction and an additional year for a number of break-ins at residences across the boundary in Alberta.

With credit for time already served, he still faces more than four years behind bars.

Hopley was also sentenced to 10 years of mandatory supervision after he is released the maximum period under the long-term offender designation.

Big names back pipeline THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A who’s who of the business world is featured in a full-page newspaper ad running nationwide promoting the Northern Gateway pipeline on the cusp of a federal decision on the project.

The company ad says the pipeline underscores how projects of national significance can “become the catalyst for new and better standards” for industry.

It’s signed by a host of former federal Conservatives, as well as Metis Nation of B.C. president Bruce Dumont and National Post editor-at-large Diane Francis.

It’s also signed by former Liberal deputy prime minister John Manley - now the president of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives - and former federal Liberal minister and Newfoundland premier, Brian Tobin now vice-chairman of BMO Financial Group.

Federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau opposes the pipeline.

The federal cabinet has until next Tuesday to announce its final decision on the project that would deliver oilsands crude to a marine terminal on the British Columbia coast for export to Asia.

ment and congestion top the list in the British Columbia Automobile Association’s fourth annual survey of the province’s worst roads.

The Association says motorists, pedestrians and cyclists identified 1,277 separate stretches of provincial roads they feel are unsafe or difficult to navigate.

A list naming the 10 worst has been created and the top three are all in, or around, the north Okanagan, including B.C.’s new “worst” thoroughfare, Silver Star Road, near Vernon.

Pot holes and crumbling pavement are the problems there, with similar issues identified for the second-worst route on the list, Westside Road, southwest of Vernon, while Cosens Bay Road to the southeast, grabs third spot because of concerns about safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

Most of the roads on the 2014 list have been mentioned before, but BCAA says McKenzie Avenue in Victoria makes its debut in sixth spot because of traffic congestion while Maple Crescent, a residential street in Maple Ridge, east of Vancouver, ranks eighth due to pedestrian and cycling safety issues.

BCAA says the number of votes submitted for its annual survey tripled this year in what the association believes is an expression of traveller frustration and a desire to offer opinions about the problem.

National Research complete on CF-18 fighters THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Federal officials sought to demonstrate Thursday how much work has been done to replace Canada’s aging CF-18 jets, but say the details of the evaluation will be kept secret while cabinet weighs whether to continue with the oft-maligned F-35 program.

Members of an independent panel that looked at what fighter aircraft are available as replacements for the 30-year-old Hornets made a public appearance to emphasize the depth and impartiality of their assessment, 14 months in the making.

That analysis, which essentially fact-checks the air force’s market evaluation, has been turned over to the government. It lays out what each of the four contenders can do.

Separately, a committee of deputy ministers overseeing the replacement program has handed a recommendation to the Harper cabinet.

The government could continue with the F-35 program, which has been on hold. It could choose an open competition involving the stealth fighter and other aircraft, including the Boeing Super Hornet, Eurofighter’s Typhoon, Dassault’s Rafale, and possibly the Saab Gripen.

Rewriting the air force’s statement of requirements, which critics say was rigged in favour of the F-35, is another possibility and one that could postpone a replacement decision.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper told the House of Commons that the government found the report “helpful” and restated earlier pledges to make a decision in the best longterm interest of the military.

In April 2012, auditor general Michael Ferguson slammed the Harper government’s plan to buy 65 stealth jets, accusing Public Works and National Defence of low-balling the cost and not doing their homework.

Minister vows to make NDP pay

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The minister responsible for Canada Post says she will ensure New Democrat MPs pay back “every single penny” of free parliamentary postal privileges used to send out almost 2 million partisan missives.

Transport Minister Lisa Raitt says she’ll be discussing the matter in the coming days with the head of Canada Post and will seek a report on the post office’s plan for recovering $1.13 million in franked NDP mail.

Raitt’s statement follows a decision late Wednesday by the multi-party board of internal economy that 23 New Democrat MPs improperly used parliamentary resources to send 1.8 million partisan mailings to households in 26 ridings, including four that

were in the midst of byelections late last year.

The board, which oversees the finances of the House of Commons and sets rules for MPs’ spending, ordered the NDP to reimburse $36,000 in direct mailing costs to the Commons.

It said it did not have the power to compel the MPs to reimburse Canada Post for misuse of $1.13 million in free mailing privileges, known as franking, but said they have an obligation to do so.

Canada Post is now reviewing “all commercial and regulatory aspects” of the board of internal economy’s decision, an official said.

“This will be done in a timely manner and include compliance with the Canada Post Corporation Act, which contains the provisions for gov-

ernment mail,” spokesman Jon Hamilton said in a statement.

Transport Canada gives Canada Post an annual subsidy of $22 million to help defray the cost of free government mail.

In an email statement Thursday from her office, Raitt said: “Rest assured, every single penny that was misspent by the NDP will be paid back to hard working Canadian taxpayers.”

The NDP has said it will challenge the board’s verdict and any attempt by Canada Post to recover the cost of franking in court.

The party maintains it is the victim of a partisan “witch hunt” by Conservative and Liberal members of the board, which New Democrats say has been turned into a “kangaroo court.”

Newfoundland

Ice, blocked markets hurt seal hunt THE CANADIAN PRESS ST. JOHN’S, N.L. - A big drop in the commercial seal hunt off Newfoundland this spring can be blamed on heavy sea ice and international trade blockades, says the Canadian Sealers Association.

Executive director Frank Pinhorn said Thursday just fewer than 55,000 harp seals were landed compared to 91,000 last year and 69,000 in 2012.

Pinhorn said about 65 boats went out compared to 45 last year but many had trouble getting through unusually thick sea ice.

“The conditions last year were much better because the ice was not compressed together,” he said in an interview. “This year they couldn’t get out. Some

of the landings were lower per vessel.”

The total commercial harvest was far below the federal quota of 400,000 while the price held steady at about $35 for each of the highest quality pelts, Pinhorn said.

The association is calling on Ottawa to more aggressively deal with bans on the import of seal products that block access to markets in several countries including the U.S., Mexico, Russia and Taiwan.

The federal government challenged a European Union embargo at the World Trade Organization but lost again on appeal last month. The trade body’s appellate panel upheld a previous ruling that the ban is “necessary to protect public morals” regard-

Pinhorn said there are many markets for seal products. “It’s just that politics is interfering with the exchange of goods.”

Grads: Dive in and develop your skills Black Press owner David Black was recently presented with a doctorate from the University of Victoria. He delivered a speech to graduating students.

T

oday is a great day for me. The doctorate is a wonderful honour from a University I have watched grow and flourish into a world-ranked institution. It is also embarrassing because I don’t feel my work is completed yet.

Nevertheless, I would like to pass on to the graduating class some lessons I have learned thus far in my career in the hopes they may be of some use.

My story is not complex.

I received an Engineering degree from UBC and an MBA from Ivey in London.

In 1975 I started my own business by buying a small weekly newspaper in Williams Lake. Over the years with the help of a terrific wife, a father who mentored me, and the hard work of a great many employees, we have grown to 200 publications with revenues of half a billion dollars.

I had no plan in 1975 to grow the business like this. My only thought was to publish the best paper I could. I worked long

hours because we were in debt and we had a growing family. Over time I came to be an expert in every phase of the business. Because of that I fell in love with publishing.

My first career lesson for you then, is just show up.

If you are like I was at your age you have no idea what career will appeal to you.

You don’t have to know.

Just dive into something.

Work hard. The more skill you develop the more you will enjoy the work. You will know when or if it is time to move on to something else.

I mentioned my wife and father and what a help they were to me. My second piece of advice is to surround yourself with bright people, both as workmates and friends. Listen to them and help them in return.

With my four children on our companies’ Boards of Directors and an excellent management team in place I thought, now that I am over 65, I would be easing back somewhat, enjoying more sailing, and babysitting grandchildren. My only real career regret was that I hadn’t had a chance to practice any engineering.

It’s funny how life unfolds.

Instead, over the last two years I have embarked on one of the big-

DAVID

BLACK Black Press

gest engineering projects in Canada’s history and I am working harder than ever. When not working on Black Press I am consumed by trying to build a BC oil refinery, pipeline and tanker fleet at a total cost of $32 billion. So my third career message for you is that you cannot know your future. By all means plan.

But don’t assume things will go as expected.

I will tell you a little about the refinery project because it leads to my final and most important piece of advice. The project is called Kitimat Clean.

The refinery will convert Alberta’s bitumen to gasoline and diesel, products which float and evaporate if there is a spill at sea.

Bitumen acts differently. If it is spilled off our coast it will sink and we won’t be able to recover it. It will also blanket the intertidal zone and we won’t be able

to remove it. The damage could last for hundreds of years. I got into this project to help ensure this doesn’t happen.

A world-scale refinery has other great advantages for us all: it will create 10,000 new permanent jobs in BC and it will generate billions of dollars of new taxes annually for government coffers.

My children and I are concerned about the environment like most of you are, so we decided to spend an extra $3 billion to build the refinery with new Canadian technology, cutting CO2 emissions by 5 million tonnes per year.

This is equivalent to avoiding the annual emissions of 1.2 million cars. The refinery will be so clean it will more than compensate for the extra CO2 emissions in the oilsands.

Clearly we need to ratchet down our use of fossil fuels. But that does not influence whether to build a refinery in Canada.

Asia needs more refined fuel every year.

If we don’t build the refinery in Canada it will be built in Asia. By shipping our bitumen to Asia for refining, we not only put the ocean at risk and lose the enormous value-add benefits, the planet will end up with twice the CO2 emissions.

Unfortunately for a variety of reasons our big oil companies are not interested in a new Canadian refinery. The president of one of our largest oil companies told me that he agrees it is viable to refine bitumen in Canada, and that it is nation building at its best, but that no oil company in Alberta will do it. In fact some oppose it.

So it came down to this.

If I thought it important enough, I would have to spearhead it. That is what I am doing. I hope by setting high standards we can show the way forward for responsible management of Canada’s bitumen from an economic and an environmental point of view.

My final message to you today is simple. When your big challenge or opportunity arises do the same. Do it better. When you know something is wrong step up. Take a risk. Challenge tradition and fight vested interests.

Use your education, experience and networks in a positive way to benefit yourself and your family of course, but whenever you can always try to improve the the world around you as well. The satisfaction that it gives you will fulfill you.

Go to it graduates and best wishes for the future.

Walking bridge a step in right direction I believe a lot of people have been misinformed about the Old Bridge and the potential walking bridge. Some people said they just signed the petition, not knowing the consequences. There’s been articles in the paper and leaflets handed out giving the citizens of Trail a great deal of information about the Old Bridge and potential walk-in bridge.

Additional information has been posted on the City of Trail website and Facebook page. Here’s some info I found out about the Old Bridge and potential walking bridge. Just to try to fix the Old Bridge would cost about $15 million to $20 million. That would mean a 15 per cent increase in our taxes.

The steel in the Old Bridge is deteriorating and the piers are in bad shape. You would probably not find an engineer to approve the Old Bridge anyway.

The Old Bridge is over 100 years old and has served its

purpose. The Old Bridge has not been used in the last five years and we survived. It’s time to take down the Old Bridge before it falls into the river and causes bigger problems.

The sewer line on the Old Bridge has broken twice with sewage going into the water.

The Regional District has no choice but to put in a new sewage line. A new sewage line will go across the river with or without a walking bridge.

Someone suggested putting the sewage line under the river. This would not work; if the line breaks, how long would it take to find the leak?

This is too hazardous for the river and the fish.

Some say, “What if we had a disaster?” It would be nice to have a second bridge, but that’s why we have four lanes on our new bridge. That’s one of the reasons the bridge was built with four lanes. Since the petition stopped the potential walking bridge, we have to go to referendum.

We should be looking at the two possibilities that could happen.

We can have one sewage pipeline going across the river with no walkway. What an eyesore that would be, and don’t forget; once the pipeline is across the river, you would not be able to add on a walking bridge with a water line, sewage line and a bike lane. I also understand that there will be enough room for a small emergency vehicle.

Also, the walking bridge will have a conduit for a fibre optic line for the east side of the river.

Finally, no tax increase for the potential walking bridge.

I think everyone should take a hard look at what we’re doing.

Remember, the Old Bridge is condemned and coming down.

At least let’s get a walking bridge.

As a community, let’s go forwards not backwards.

Canadians less proactive in online protection: global poll THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Canadians are more concerned about their online privacy than many of their global counterparts and yet they’re also less likely to take proactive measures to secure their personal information, suggests a new study.

Nearly two-thirds of Canadians polled said they believed they had less privacy online than they did a year ago, according to a report by the IT company EMC, which conducted online surveys with 15,000 web users in 15 countries.

Globally, the average was 59 per cent.

Canadians were the secondleast likely to say that they’d be willing to trade some of their privacy for “easier access to information and knowledge,” behind only the German-born respondents.

About 85 per cent of the Canadians polled said they believed it will become more

difficult to cling onto a safe degree of privacy online in the next five years, versus 81 per cent of all respondents.

But Canadians admitted they could do more to protect themselves on the Internet.

Nearly seven in 10 said they did not regularly change their online passwords, versus the overall average of 62 per cent.

One in three said they didn’t worry about changing their privacy settings when joining social networks, which was in line with the global average.

And about four in 10 said they didn’t have a password protecting their cellphone from being accessed, compared to 39 per cent of all the respondents.

Canadians admitted they were sometimes lax with their online security even though 56 per cent said they had already been a victim of a data breach, which was two percentage points higher than the global average.

A majority of the poll’s respondents said they were unsatisfied with efforts by their government leaders to help keep their data safe online.

Just 41 per cent of those polled around the world said they thought their government was working hard enough to protect them online, while 45 per cent of Canadians said the same.

An overwhelming majority of Canadians, 92 per cent, said they believed it should be against the law for Internet companies to sell their data without opt-in consent, while the global average was slightly lower at 87 per cent.

The polling industry’s professional body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error as they are not a random sample and therefore are not necessarily representative of the whole population.

PEOPLE Ruby Dee

Legacy of acting and activism mourned THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - For Ruby Dee, acting and activism were not contradictory things. They were inseparable and they were intertwined.

The African-American actress who earned lead roles in movies and on Broadway also spent her entire life fighting against injustice, even emceeing the 1963 March on Washington and protesting apartheid in South Africa.

“We are image makers. Why can’t we image makers become peacemakers, too?” she asked after she and her husband Ossie Davis accepted the Screen Actors Guild Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2000.

That legacy of entertaining and pushing for change - in addition to her epic love affair with Davis - made Dee, who died at age 91 in her New Rochelle, New York, home on Wednesday night, a beloved figure in America and beyond.

Broadway theatres will dim their lights in her honour Friday night.

As a sign of how influential Dee has been to generations of performers, she was thanked twice from the podium at this Sunday’s Tony Awards - by six-time winner Audra McDonald and new Tony winner director Kenny Leon.

“She will be missed but never forgotten as she lives on in many of us,” Leon said in a statement Thursday, noting that Dee’s passing came just weeks after the death of Maya Angelou. “Maya and Ruby leave us only days apart - those two women with four letter names instructed us on how to live.”

Dee’s long career earned her an Emmy, a Grammy, two Screen Actors Guild awards, the NAACP Image Award, Kennedy Center Honors, the National Medal of Art, and the National Civil Rights Museum’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

She got an Oscar nomination at age 83 for best supporting actress for her role in the 2007 film “American Gangster.”

Dee made her Broadway debut in the original production of “South Pacific” and in 1959 starred in the Broadway premiere of “A Raisin in the Sun,” Lorraine Hansberry’s landmark play about black frustration amid racial discrimination, opposite Sidney Poitier. Both reprised that role in the film two years later.

Davis and Dee, who met in 1945 when she auditioned for the Broadway play “Jeb,” and married on a day off from another play in 1948, shared billing in 11 stage productions and five movies during long parallel careers.

But they were more than a performing couple.

They were also activists who fought for civil rights, particularly for blacks.

Their activism never waned. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary by helping to launch the 30th-anniversary celebration of the University of Iowa Black Action Theatre and in 1999, were arrested protesting the shooting death of Amadou Diallo, an unarmed African immigrant, by New York City police.

Dee and Davis, who died in 2005, were celebrated as national treasures when they received the National Medal of Arts in 1995 and got a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Screen Actors Guild in 2000. In 2004, she and Davis received Kennedy Center Honors.

Junior Dragons take home cash prizes

By Art Harrison Times Staff

The competitors made their pitches, the Dragons made their decisions, and its final; the winners of the first Junior Dragon’s Den competition were named last Friday night in a suspenseful evening of area teens showing off their business acumen in front of a live audience at the Charles Bailey Theatre in Trail.

In the junior category for grades 8 to 10, the first place and $2,500 prize went to Kyla Koolman, a Grade 8 student from Stanley Humphries Secondary in Castlegar, for her Fresh Skin Care locally made, organic skin care product line.

In the senior category, for students

in grades 11 and 12, the first place prize and cash went to Tim Baldwin and Jordan Strobel, two Grade 11 J.L. Crowe students, for their Ebon Supply Co., which offers a line of skate, surf, and snowboard apparel, offering stylized shorts, hoodies, and accessories.

Second place and $1,500 in the senior’s went to Eric Gonzales, for his Eric Gonzales Video company, and his wellcrafted video production unit.

Finally, the third place $1,000 prize in the senior’s category went to Sierra and Maddie Morehouse, who are grades 11 and 12 at Castlegar’s Stanley Humphries, for Gravity Power, an innovative electrical power genera-

Nikita Dalke, a mother of two, was named in the top six on June 4 and is now preparing to travel to Texas to take part in the final competition.

Extreme Huntress looks for a female hunter who will be a role model for other women who participate in hunting.

Nikita Dalke is off to Texas for the finals of “Extreme Huntress.” carried out in May to narrow down the 20 semifinalists to just six.

Nikita is the only

Canadian to make the finals, and she is joined by women from South Africa, Sweden, Australia, Montana and

Texas.

Now Nikita is preparing to head to Dallas, Texas on July 8 to compete in a hunt and head-to-head skills competition at the 777 Ranch in Hondo, Texas.

“I’m very excited.

There are animals there that I have never seen before,” said Nikita.

She has been busy training for the competition by practicing shooting and hitting the gym.

“I have learned some about the other competitors but I’m just trying to focus on

me and working on my skills and doing my best while I’m there.”

The competition will be filmed for 13 episodes of Eye of the Hunter. Those episodes will begin airing in October and will be available for Canadian viewers at the website, www.extremehuntress. com.

“It’s exciting and nerve-wracking to think that I’ll be on TV. It adds some pressure!” said Nikita.

The woman who receives the title of Extreme Huntress 2015 will be decided in January. The scoring is

City lifts ‘unenforceable’ ban on escort services

By Alex Cooper

Revelstoke Times Review

Ladies, gentlemen, entrepreneurs, scoundrels — the City of Revelstoke repealed a decades-old bylaw prohibiting someone from opening an escort service in town.

The bylaw, which was adopted in early 1992, was rescinded by council at its meeting on Tuesday, part of a ongoing process to “go back and review all the bylaws to eliminate ones that are redundant, ridiculous or of no effect,” said Mayor David Raven.

The escort service ban was one such

bylaw identified by staff, who said in a report that the city couldn’t prohibit any specific types of business.

The bylaw was deemed “not legally binding nor is it enforceable.”

The decision to ban escort services came about in 1991 when an application to open Mia’s Escort Agencies came the city from a woman named Maria Fernanda Lucas.

According to articles from the Revelstoke Times, the application sparked a big debate, with 1,500 people signing a peti-

tion to put restrictions on the business and send a message that it wasn’t wanted.

One person wrote to the paper that the business would bring “nothing but evil and destruction” to the community.

Council wrestled with the issue as well.

Previous court rulings said the city couldn’t restrict any specific businesses, so council sought to create a

bylaw that would put significant restrictions on the business.

In the end, they passed a bylaw prohibiting escort services, deliberately inviting a court challenge.

“We would be pleased to see if it was challenged,” Alderman Brian Matheson said at the time.

“And have it heard in Revelstoke.”

All-Star tryouts to follow playoffs

By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

As Trail Little League Baseball (TLLB) hits the diamond for its playoffs today, local coaches will also be on the lookout for potential all stars to play in the provincial championships in July.

Andy Bilesky Park will host the Little League Major age 11-12 division playoffs this weekend, while the Minor division 9-10 will battle for supremacy in Nelson.

Trail Little League had a very successful season with over 100 players coming out to play. As a result, the Major playoffs will see eight teams battle for the TLLB title with a two pool, roundrobin format starting Friday at Andy Bilesky Park.

Pool A is comprised of the Trail Eagles, Castlegar 2, Grand Forks, and Nelson Major, while Pool B includes the Trail Legion, Castlegar 1, Beaver Valley and Nelson Intermediate.

The Eagles open the tournament against Castlegar 2 at 3:45 p.m. Friday, with the Legion facing Castlegar 1 at 6 p.m. The playoffs continue on both fields all weekend until Sunday’s final at 1:30 p.m.

The Eagles will look to claim their fifth title in a row, however, last year’s finalist, Nelson, will try to end that run as will a tough Beaver Valley team that has had the Eagles number for most of the season, winning 3-of-4 in league play as well as a triumph in the Beaver Valley May Days tournament final.

The All-Star tryouts will go Monday to Wednesday for the Minor and Major teams, with Minor coach Jim Maniago and Major coach D. J. Ashman expecting a healthy compliment of players looking to crack the lineups.

“We are expecting a really big group at tryouts,” said Maniago.

“If everyone that has been in contact with us shows up, we’ll have over 30 kids from Trail, B.V., Nelson, Castelgar, Salmo, Grand Forks, Kimberley and Okanagan Falls. Quite a difference from the 10 kids that showed up last year. It will be a tough team to make.”

As for the Majors, Ashman is revelling in this year’s team’s potential and the prospect of

picking the team from close to 30 players. Ashman again will be aided by Mike Boisvert and Jason Startup as co-coaches, while Maniago and Wes Dann will head the Minor contingent.

“All three of us are pretty excited about this year,” said Ashman. “Because even the kids that aren’t on the team that are going to make it have been coached by one of us three, so they already know our system; so from a coaching part of it, we’re not going to have to spend as much time on those fine details, we can just do the repetition stuff and just mass amounts of it.”

The Major All-Stars had a young team last year and struggled at the provincial tournament finishing without a win but going home with a welldeserved Most Sportsmanlike Team award. This year’s team, however, will enjoy a solid foundation of veteran players with six returning from last year’s squad, including: Jesse Ihas, Allison Schroeder, Nate and Marty Ingram, Reilly McKinnon, and Max Profilli.

“That’s the thing, as young kids they got to play in key positions last year as 11 year olds, which a lot of 11-yearold players don’t really get that opportunity on most All-Star teams, but I think that is one of the things that is going to benefit us, is that half our team has been through that whole experience.”

Maniago is similarly optimistic about the potential of his Minor All-Star team, “We hope to have a good team, it’s hard to gauge, but we should have lots of pitching and kids that can play anywhere. The Lower Mainland teams at provincials will be tough but hopefully we can hang in there with them.”

Try outs for the Minor AllStar team goes Monday at 5 p.m. and Tuesday at 6 p.m. The Major All-Stars go at 4 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday at 5 p.m.

The Trail Minor All Stars will host the provincials at Andy Bilesky Park July 12-19, while the Trail Major All Stars travel to Langley for the provincials, July 19-26.

Champion Lakes will be celebrating the 15th annual Family Fishing Weekend Friday to Sunday by allowing all would-be anglers a chance to fish without a licence as well as feature some hands-on help for beginners, as well as information on fish identification, conservation, and angling.

Fun and free fishing weekend VANCOUVER - Families will be able to more easily spend quality time together outdoors June 13 to 15 during the 15th Annual Family Fishing Weekend.

In addition to half-a-dozen events taking place throughout the Kootenays, including Champion Lakes, families are able to fish without a licence, making it the ideal way to enjoy Father’s Day weekend outdoors.

Hosted by The Family Fishing Society of BC and volunteer led community groups, Family Fishing Weekend events feature hands–on help for beginners, fish identification and habitat conservation information and the fun of fishing and catching fish.

Family Fishing Weekend is an annual opportunity to fish BC’s lakes, rivers, and streams for free, compliments of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

“Summer for many BC families is about spending time together in the outdoors and Family Fishing Weekend is the perfect way to kick off the season,” said Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson.

“A licence-free weekend of fishing as well as fishing rods available for borrowing makes it very accessible to families looking

for an affordable and interactive way to spend time together.”

From less than half a dozen events when the event was launched in 2000, Family Fishing Weekend has grown to include nearly 50 events across the province.

Most of the success can be attributed to the very dedicated volunteer anglers and fishing clubs that host events each year as well as a growing interest in the sport of fishing.

The 15th annual Family Fishing Weekend is made possible by financial support from the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC and the Province of British Columbia.

Material and volunteer donations are made by numerous like-minded organizations and businesses, and by all the communities that host events.

In addition to free fishing, the weekend will be celebrated with 50 specific community events across the province, many featuring the Freshwater Fisheries Society’s popular “Learn to Fish” sessions.

Events will be held across the Kootenays at Idlewild Lake in Cranbrook, Arrow Lakes in Nakusp, Cottonwood Lake in

f r ost y’s liquor store daily 9am - 11pm

Nelson, Wiliamson Lake in Revelstoke, and Champion Lakes Provincial Park outside of Fruitvale.

A complete list of participating communities, locations and event descriptions, along with step-by-step fishing instructions and regulations can be found at www.bcfamilyfishing.com.

“These events offer a great opportunity to learn about and how to fish in a fun and supported environment,” Wayne Saito, President, Family Fishing Society of BC. “The hundreds of volunteers who organize and participate in these events are passionate about fishing and even more passionate about sharing their love of the sport. They are keen to share what makes fishing such a great pastime.”

Annual fishing regulations still apply and residents can find details online at www.fishing.gov. bc.ca.

The Family Fishing Society of BC was established in 2001 to encourage new anglers as well as promote and coordinate Family Fishing Weekend and other angling initiatives targeted toward families and young people.

2014 marks the 15th year of this licence-free fishing weekend.

ongratulations to Grads. It has been a tough stretch for them of late, and getting to the big day has taken work and stress not usual for such a happy event.

Of course it has been all worth it. Starting out towards an independent life will be much easier for those carrying the skills and habits required to complete graduation requirements. Stay safe and have a good time, kids.

• A favourite saying of mine has been, “I’d rather be lucky than good,” for the simple reason that playing well does not always result in victory, but being lucky does (if it doesn’t, you haven’t been lucky).

Never more true, it seems, than in this year’s Stanley Cup Final playoff, during which, at least in my estimation, the team that played the best each night has lost in all four games.

We will see who, “gets lucky,” tonight and/or the rest of the way.

Whatever happens, I am continually impressed with the classy demeanour of Rangers’ coach Alain Vigneault. He has had plenty of reasons to be cranky and/or smug,

to call, “rainbows,” and neither hopped to the receiver. Both completely missed the cutoff man (the play at home would have been easier if that one had been relayed) and, worst of all, both were necessitated by shoddy, lazy-looking, defensive play from Cespedes on the original base hits.

Listen to your coaches, don’t emulate that fundamentally unsound play - hit the cutoff man.

and then an assist on a shot deflected by Tanner Pearson, but that wasn’t how things went for the Kings on Wednesday night.

Having reached the final by coming back from a 3-0 series deficit against the San Jose Sharks and needing seven games in the other two series, the Kings know what to expect energy-wise from the Rangers on Friday night. That’s a big help.

But an even bigger help would be fixing any holes that have kept the Kings from polishing things off.

“We could still do some better things for a more consistent period of time,” said Kings’ forward Mike Richards. “We’ll look at it. Watch some video and correct a couple of things and put our best foot forward.”

Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 5:3).

The Holy Trinity Council of the Catholic Women’s League held their last meeting until September with a special dessert meeting.

League members were invited to participate in “One Minute for Peace”, a moment of prayer for peace on the occasion of the meeting of prayer organized by Pope Francis. This meeting will be held at the Vatican together with both the presidents of Israel and the state of Palestine on June 8. Members were encouraged to have one minute of prayer for Peace each day from now till June 8 and especially June 6.

Long serving members were honoured with special recognition and (above) Father Jim McHugh was presented with a Spiritual Advisor’s pin.

A report on the Diocesan Convention in Oliver was given. Of special interest was the skit (below) performed at the convention, which was reenacted at the meeting, inviting the other councils to the Trail convention in May 2015.

The poor in spirit are blessed by Jesus, for they have only one treasure, which is God (Matt. 6:19-21), having lost everything else of this world. And because they are not only poor but also poor in spirit, they have accepted and embraced their condition, and have even voluntarily renounced being rich in the things and consolations of this world. This is the condition of life that Jesus blesses; and even the rich, if they want to be blessed, will live as though they were poor, eating and living in great simplicity and evangelical and voluntary poverty for the love of God. They will live this way so as not to be choked by the riches and pleasures of the world, like a seed choked by weeds so as not to bear fruit (Luke 8:14). The weeds that choke us are worldly pleasures and entertainments with which the rich are surrounded. That is why Jesus said, “It will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven ... It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” (Matt. 19:23-24).

So a rich man should use his money to minister to others spiritually or physically, and live himself as a poor man, denying himself (Matt. 16:24) and renouncing the pleasures of the world, sumptuous and succulent food, and worldly entertainments, such as secular movies, for all this only

World Cup can promote unity: Pope THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis has a message for the World Cup: Let football be a showcase for teamwork and solidarity, not an exhibition of racism and greed.

The Argentine-born, football-loving pope recorded a video message broadcasted on Brazilian television ahead of Thursday’s opening match between Brazil and Croatia.

In it, Francis said football teaches three lessons that can promote peace and solidarity around the world: the need to train and work hard to reach goals, the importance of fair play and teamwork, and the need to respect and honour opponents.

“To win, we must overcome individualism, selfishness, all forms of racism, intolerance and manipulation of people,” he said. He said being “greedy” in football, as in life, is an obstacle.

“Let nobody turn their back on society and feel excluded!” he said. “No to segregation! No to racism!”

In his message, Francis said he hoped the World Cup would be a “festival of solidarity between peoples.”

“Sport is not only a form of entertainment, but also - and above all I would say - a tool to communicate values that promote the good that is in humans and help build a more peaceful and fraternal society,” he said.

divides his heart from a pure and undivided love for the Lord alone. We should be like St. Peter, who said, “Lo, we have left everything and followed you. What then shall we have?” (Matt. 19:27). And Jesus told him what he would have for living this way, “Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life” (Matt. 19:29 NKJV).

So we should be dead to this world and to its pleasures, poor and poor in spirit, and voluntarily accept this condition. Through the cross of Christ “the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world” (Gal. 6:14).

We should be dead to worldly pleasures, crucified to them, and they to us, because Jesus also said about his followers, “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world” (John 17:16). I want to be dead to the world and to its pleasures that choke me like weeds choking a seed (Luke 8:14) and that divide my heart, for Scripture says, “Do not love the world or the things of the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15). Scripture also says, “Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God” (James 4:4).

Therefore we should not love our life in a worldly sense, enjoying worldly delights, for Jesus said, “He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life” (John 12:25).

So we should voluntarily live in evangelical poverty, using our money to minister to others, not for our own pleasures and entertainments, and in this way lose our life in this world for the love of God in order to find it in God, for Jesus said, “Whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it” (Mark 8:35).

We must renounce all that we have to obtain the buried treasure, which is the kingdom of God in our life. “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field” (Matt. 13:44). We need to renounce all else to enjoy the kingdom of God in our heart. This means adopting a simple and poor lifestyle for the love of God to love him with an undivided heart.

To live this way is to serve only one master (Matt. 6:24) and have only one treasure (Matt. 6:19-21). “No one can serve two masters ... You cannot serve God and mammon” (Matt. 6:24). “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth ... but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matt.

6:19-20). “So therefore, whoever of you does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:33).

A life poor and simple in the pleasures of the world, lived only for God, using our money to minister to others, is the Christian life, to which Jesus calls us. © Copyright 2007-2009 Rev. Steven Scherrer www.DailyBiblicalSermons.com.

Confront husband about history of cheating Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

must be a terrible time for you, but you are making an awful lot of excuses for your husband’s behavior.

You need to tell him what you know and ask him to go with you for counseling. If he is a sex addict, he can get help. But if he refuses to do the necessary work to repair your marriage, you will have some tough decisions to make.

Please get counseling on your own so you can do what is best for you and your child.

Dear Annie: I really like my mother-inlaw, but she has terrible taste and insists on buying me clothes.

For my birthday last

ter. But it would be a true kindness to ask her to accompany you the next time you go shopping. Tell her it’s a “girl bonding” experience. Go out for lunch. Let her see the types of things that attract your attention.

Ask her opinion. Help her pick out something you think looks good on her. This is how you get to know each other.

Dear Annie: I read with interest the letter from “Upset Dad,” whose 14-year-old son wasn’t getting enough playing time on his basketball team.

As a longtime coach, I wanted to give some input.

Rightly or wrongly, the goal of school teams and coaches is to win the game without worrying about playing time. Parents should probably know this, but many don’t.

(Practice and scrimmages are a different story.) Parents are generally very poor

evaluators of their child’s talent. I would suspect this child is less skilled than the other players on the squad.

My advice would be to talk respectfully to the coach to find out what your child could be working on

to get more playing time. You will learn a lot about the coach’s mindset. Also, talk to your son about playing on a local church or other youth team.

year, she gave me a blouse that looked like it came from a rummage sale, even though it still had the sales slip attached.

To make her happy, I tried it on, and she squealed with delight.

I thought it was hideous.

I don’t want to hurt her feelings, but I cannot possibly wear this blouse. However, I’d feel terrible if I took it back to the store and she found out. My husband says to just stick the blouse in the closet and forget about it, but what if she asks me to wear it? What should I do? -- Trying To Be a Sweet DIL Dear Trying: It’s perfectly OK to thank your mother-in-law sweetly for the blouse and then return it.

She is unlikely to find out. If she later asks you to wear it, you can say that it wasn’t exactly your taste and you picked out something that matched your wardrobe bet-

2014 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Dear Annie: I am in my mid-20s and have been with my husband for seven years.

Last year, while I was attending school and working, my husband started an affair. I also discovered information about his cheating dating back three years. I have found texts, social media messages and even a secret phone.

My husband doesn’t know that I am aware of his affair. We have a toddler, and I don’t know what to do. I cannot believe the man I love has been unfaithful for so long and I just found out about it.

I am seriously contemplating divorce, but I feel as if there is more to it. I think my husband may be a sex addict. This is how his father treated his mother for years, and maybe it’s all he knows. I want to get him the help he needs, but I’m not sure how to handle the situation.

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, June 14, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Do what you can to avoid power struggles with partners and close friends, because they will likely arise. Just remember that it takes two to make a fight.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

For those who work today, relations with coworkers might be testy.

It would be wise to step back and give the situation more breathing space.

Don’t be pushy.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Parents will need to be patient with children today to avoid hissy fits and meltdowns. Remember that you were a kid once yourself.

Avoid disputes about the hospitality industry and the entertainment world.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Increased activity and

chaos at home will test your patience today. Try to avoid power struggles with others. You don’t have to give in, but you don’t have to demand your own way, either. Look for a win/win solution.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’re coming on pretty strong in all your communications with others today, whether you realize this or not. Go gently. You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Power struggles about money or possessions might arise today. Put these off until next Tuesday or Wednesday, when matters can be more easily discussed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Difficulties with female relatives might arise today.

Just be patient and understanding. All of this will blow over quite quickly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is an accident-prone day for your sign, so be careful. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Slow down and take it easy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) If shopping today, count your change and keep your receipts. Something to do with your possessions or your cash flow is subject to disruptions and unexpected

events.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The Moon is in your sign today, at odds with unpredictable Uranus. This makes you impulsive and rebellious, and yet eager for fun and thrills! Be careful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You feel restless today, because the Moon is in a hidden part of your chart and it is challenged by Uranus.

Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be extra patient when talking to parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs today, because a fight easily could break out. People are sitting on a powder keg. Go gently.

YOU BORN TODAY You are ambitious and intense.

You go after what you want with force and determina-

We extend our deepest thanks to Rv. Michael Hare and to Jordan Wren, Bill Clark and staff of Alternatives Funeral Services. Special thanks to Audrey Bissett and the Trail United Church choir and the UCW ladies who helped with the reception.

Thank you to St. Michael’s School staff, for being a true family during our time of need.

We would like to acknowledge the staffs of the Emergency, 3rd Floor Medical, Columbia Family Medicine and the many doctors who, over the years, have taken care of our mother. A special thank you to all the staff at Rosewood for their help and compassion during Irene’s last few years.

The love and support shown to us from Mom’s friends, co-workers, volunteers, neighbours and our own friends was so touching and heart warming.

It is truly appreciated.

June 14th, 2014

We have so many wonderful memories of Mom to enjoy and share over the years to come. The love and compassion shown by everyone will never be forgotten and we will be forever grateful.

Love Rick, Christine, Davin, and Maxim

Scott, Brian and Barry and families.

Happy Birthday, Linda Lee!

From our hearts,

Italo Canadese wind-up bocce Submitted photo

The Italo Canadese Society held their wind-up Bocce event recently to cap off a very successful year. Among the participants was one of our favourite ‘sparkly heads’ – Miss Trail Ella Meyer. This year the club held their first food drive – providing 90 pounds of groceries to the Food bank. The annual bake sale at the mall allowed us to donate over $1000 to three different charities in the community. We said good-bye to our oldest member, Bruna Benedet, but also welcomed some new members. The Italo Canadese welcomes anyone of Italian descent to join.
