Trail’s coaches, players and main sponsors welcome teams from across B.C. for the Little League provincials, which begin with the opening ceremonies on Saturday at 1 p.m.
Little League provincials start this weekend BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
After months of hard work and organization, Trail Little League is ready to welcome the best in B.C. baseball to Andy Bileski Park this weekend with the 9-10 Provincial championship set to hit the diamond on Saturday. Co-chairs Keith and Clare DeWitt and the rest of the tournament committee will welcome close to 200 players, coaches, umpires, parents,
and supporters to Trail for the week-long provincial tournament. “It’s all coming to a head now,” said Keith on Tuesday. “It’s been pretty hectic this week but it’s coming together, we have lots to do but it’s going to be big.” Trail was granted the host city by B.C. Little League last summer as a result of a very successful B.C. Major Little League championship for the 11-12 Trail All-Star team in 2012.
“That’s why we got it back this year,” said DeWitt. “One of the reasons is because they put on such a good provincials, and the field is top notch and is exactly what Little League (B.C.) wants, and they know that we could do it, so they gave it to us again two years later for the different age group. We have to live up to what they did two years ago and sometimes that’s tough too.” See MINOR, Page 11
Financial statements reveal pay for elected officials BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
If life rolled along smoothly and politics-free in the Greater Trail area, serving as an elected official could bump the monthly income without a lot of work involved. But with long standing disputes over sewer and water, boundaries and the land we choose to recreate on, becoming a rural politician doesn’t always mean a big payday. at the award winning The end of June marked the Columbia River Hotel were bound MP_adO3_Layout 1 13-10-04final 6:20day AM municipalities Page 1 Trail to publicly release financial statements forPage 2013, which includes MP_adO3_Layout 1 13-10-04 6:20 AM 1
remuneration for elected officials and their expenses. Montrose’s five member council serves its community of about 1,000 people at the low end of the pay scale when compared to neighbouring townships. The village’s mayor earned about $6,000 last year, or $500 monthly, and the four Montrose councillors were paid $3,515 or $293 each month. But the job isn’t about the pay for Coun. Mary Gay who said in a smaller area like Montrose, it’s more about serving the constitu-
ents and being active in the community. “It’s something I want to do and not something I do for the money,” she said. “We are such as small area it’s important to keep costs down for our taxpayers and not ask for more.” Half way up the pay scale ladder is Rossland’s Greg Granstrom earning $11,800 as the two-term mayor of about 3,500 people. He’s followed by Fruitvale Mayor Patricia Cecchini, a first term official paid $12,000 to serve a population of 2,000.
Both village and city councillors earn about half that number at $6,000 per year, or $500 each month to perform duties that include administering policies, allocating municipal funds and tax levies during annual budget talks, and adopting bylaws for the protection of the public. Top civic earner in the region, excluding regional district directors, was Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs. He earned $28,000 or just over $2,300 a month to govern the Silver City’s 5,733 residents.

Government officials and representatives from Interfor and Celgar are trying to figure out how they will safely remove a log boom hung up on a pier supporting the Victoria St. Bridge in Trail. The boom, logs held together in a bundle by a cable, became lodged on the pier sometime between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. Geoff Bekker, woodland manager at the Interfor sawmill in Castlegar, says the logs look like pulp logs. “We’ve determined that it is a load of pulp logs so they originally belonged to Celgar,” he said, when contacted by the Trail Times. “We’re not sure how they got there, but we’ll work that through.” Larry Abenante, City of Trail’s public works manager, says even though the bridge is in Trail, it isn’t up to the city to take care of the log boom on the pillar. “As the bridge belongs to the Ministry of Transport, they would be the people[...] to talk to,” he said in an email statement. “They are aware of this, [and I’m] not sure what they will be doing.” Questions to local representatives of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure were passed on to its media department.

A view from the Victoria St. Bridge walkway looking down at the log boom hung up on the bridge’s footing. “(The department) will monitor and insure that there is no damage to the structure and work with the various agencies to safely remove debris build up,” said an email reply from the ministry. As far as a Celgar spokesperson knew at the time of interview, no logs were lost from its facility. No matter who they belonged to upriver, Bekker says the logs need to be removed safely.
“We have had similar situations before but the first thing is to do it safely,” he said. “[We have to] get it off there in conjunction with [...] Emcon and the Ministry of Transport and make sure they are all happy with the procedure.” One of the options Bekker and his team have is to lower a worker down to the log boom and cut the cable. “That would allow the logs to just run free,” he said,
explaining that it may be the only plan of attack. “I’m not sure if there are any other options at this point.” As for potential damage to the Victoria St. Bridge, the ministry said it will inspect it as required once the debris has been released. The ministry couldn’t comment on any potential fines or reviews in light of the escaped log booms, adding it wasn’t aware of policies and procedures in the logging industry.

Losing some of Gyro Park’s sandy beach to rising water is just another day of summer living in the Lower Columbia Basin. Water levels appeared to climb the banks of the Columbia River around Trail this week, but according to BC Hydro, it’s nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year. The current water level, which is monitored at Birchbank, measures 7.6 metres or about 25 feet with a current discharge rate of 128,000 cubic feet per second (kcfs).

That level is expected to rise by about a half metre next week when a forecasted increase in discharge levels could swell the measured depth at Birchbank to 8 metres or 26.24 feet. Meaning, beach-goers at the popular City of Trail riverfront park might lose a little dry land by July 18. Looking back at last year’s peak discharge of 155,000 kcfs (8.75 m or about 29 feet at Birchbank) or the unusually high level in 2012 of 35 feet measured at Birchbank, this July is turning out to be quite unremarkable. “Reservoir water levels

are difficult to forecast,” explained BC Hydro’s Sabrina Locicero. The unpredictability of weather patterns, inflows, hydropower demands and electricity prices affect how much or how little water is discharged into the Columbia River. BC Hydro has forecasted this summer’s peak discharge rate to happen in early July at 140,000 kcfs, which translates into a water level of 8.2 m or almost 27 feet. “We do have operational changes and flows where we see significant differences on the shoreline,”
she said. “But that’s when we send out notices and public announcements.” Water levels are calculated by the utility company on an ongoing basis using discharge rates, or the volume of water that moves over a designated point in a fixed period of time. Birchbank houses the measurement device that gauges water levels in Trail because Columbia River flows at that site are the sum of discharges from the Hugh Keenleyside Dam, the Kootenay River and other tributaries.

REgional
Pay reviewed during budget talks FROM PAGE 1 But after 17 years at the helm, Bogs said the time commitment has grown in his last term because the city is at its busiest in years. “We haven’t had this many major projects going on for a very long time,” said Bogs. “So I spend more time that’s probably required to make sure I stay on top of all the issues.” Aside from the upcoming bridge referendum, downtown Trail revitalization project and the boundary expansion proposal, Bogs works one-on-one with residents over matters such as unsightly premises, property disputes and sewer disruptions. “You really have to be involved at that level along with the councillors,” he said. “Residents contact us all the time over issues with things like tree roots, colours of siding, and sewer lines,” explained Bogs. “And we visit those homes and try to find a solution.” When they aren’t dealing with neighbourhood woes, Trail councillors pull in $14,000 each year or $1167 per month, for committing to bimonthly council and governance meetings, unscheduled special meetings and various community engagements. Falling mid range on the indemnity scale is Warfield’s council,
with Mayor Bert Crockett earning about $9,200 a year, or $833 per month, and each of the four village councillors, about $384 per month. “When you take this on it is a dedicated commitment,” said Crockett. “With lots of hours involved to attend as many meetings and functions in as many communities as you can,” he said. “You have to make yourself available.” Crockett said that often people comment that the councillors are retirement-aged and older. “But it would be pretty difficult to do this working nine til five,” he added. Mayor and council remuneration is written into municipal bylaw and each year the rate of pay is reviewed during budget talks. In addition to a yearly indemnity, the mayors and council are reimbursed for expenses incurred during municipal business, such as the cost of travel, food and lodging. Often those expenses add up to about half the annual remuneration and last year Bogs was reimbursed about $12,000, Cecchini $7,400; Granstrom expended $5,500; Danchuk $5,900; while Crockett received $683 towards costs.
Police report
Driver allegedly impaired when he drove into house By Sheri Regnier Times Staff
Trail police released details about a pickup driving into an occupied home on Riverside Avenue last weekend. An RCMP officer was parked in downtown Trail at 11:15 p.m. Saturday evening when he observed a pick up truck travelling at a high rate of speed, noted Cpl. Kelly Hall of the Trail and Greater District RCMP in a Thursday news release. The officer turned on his emergency lights and attempted to close the distance with the truck for a vehicle stop, but the truck was several blocks ahead and police lost sight lines as the vehicle rounded corners heading toward the Old Trail Bridge. By the time the officer caught up to the vehicle, it had already struck the home and carport on the 1900 block of Riverside Ave. The driver was arrested at the scene without incident, Hall added. Charges pending include Impaired Driving, Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle with over 80 milligrams (mgs) of Alcohol and Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle. The driver was also ticketed for driving a vehicle without registration and driving while prohibited, but has since been released from custody with court dates forthcoming. No injuries were reported by the two occupants of the home or the driver, but the residence was extensively damaged. 1566 Lilac PineCres, Ave,Trail Trail 3261

Old mine site set for solar project By Carolyn Grant Kimberley Bulletin
Construction is set to begin on the $5.3 million Sun Mine project on reclaimed Sullivan Mine lands in Kimberley. Sun Mine will have over 4,000 solar-cell modules, mounted on 96 solar trackers which follow the sun’s movement, maximizing solar exposure. It will be the first solar project in B.C. to sell power to the BC Hydro grid, and also the largest solar project outside of eastern Canada. Partners include Teck, which provides land and site infrastructure as well as a $2 million monetary contribution; and $1 million from the province’s Innovative Clean Energy Fund through the EcoSmart Foundation. It is also supported by the Columbia Basin Trust and the Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust. Conergy Canada has been chosen as the primary contractor to provide

engineering, procurement and construction management. Sun Mine will be built over this summer and fall with a target date of operation by January 2015. Upon completion, Sun Mine will be: • the largest solar facility west of Ontario; • the first redevelopment of reclaimed land into a solar farm in Canada; • the first large solar project in Canada supported by a mining company; • the first utility scale solar facility developed, owned, and operated by a Canadian municipality; • the first 1000V DC solar installation outside of Ontario; • the first grid-connected solar photovoltaic installation in B.C.; • the first large-scale project in western Canada to use solar trackers. The City of Kimberley expects to pay back its loan of
$2 million through the generation and sale of power to BC Hydro. The price received for electricity will be guaranteed through a 25-year power purchase contract with BC Hydro. The primary contractor, Conergy is providing a two-year performance guarantee that the facility will produce at least 90 per cent of the total design capacity and will pay the city the difference if it does not. The agreement with the contractor is a fixed price agreement. Sun Mine has a $5.3 million construction budget, which includes $4.05 million for the Engineer Procure Construct project, $1.1 million for ancillary project costs and $219,000 for performance, labour and material bonding and contingency. After loan payments, operations and maintenance expenses, net revenue is expected to average $57,800 per year over 25 years.

A roaring fire has complicated the future of Vernon’s Kin Race Track. Flames consumed most of the track’s grandstand Wednesday night, creating a new challenge for the Okanagan Equestrian Society, which has been fighting a legal battle to maintain access to the site. “We will discuss our various options,” said Ed Woolley, society spokesperson, adding that the group’s executive will meet
next week and the insurance policy is being reviewed. “If we rebuild, is it at the same spot or of the same nature (of structure)? I can’t speculate on what options we will go with because I don’t know what our options are.” It was just on Tuesday that the society had announced cancellation of Vernon Racing Days for the summer because electrical upgrades ordered by the B.C. Safety Authority to the grandstand were too costly. Investigators aren’t linking

The police admit they are aware of the court case involving the race track. However, investigators are trying to determine if the blaze is the latest in the recent rash of arsons in the area.

City changing its tune on singing
THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG - Winnipeg city hall is changing its tune about people who sing on transit buses. The city had proposed a bylaw that called for a $100 fine for disruptive behaviour on buses, including singing and musical performances. There was an immediate backlash by some residents who said there should be higher priorities for city hall. The idea was also mocked on social media, with some people questioning whether mimes would be tolerated. Now, the city says it is amending the proposed rules to allow for singing that does not disturb other passengers or the driver. Winnipeg Transit director Dave Wardrop says the wording will be changed so that it will not limit people’s freedom of expression.
Quebec
Province gets first diamond mine THE CANADIAN PRESS EEYOU ISTCHEE JAMES BAY, Que. - Liberal Premier Philippe Couillard trumpeted Quebec’s reinvigorated northern development plan Thursday during a ground-breaking ceremony for province’s first diamond mine, a $1-billion project that he said shows Quebec is “open for business again.” Developed by Stornoway Diamond Corp. (TSX:SWY), the operation was formally launched with a ceremony in a remote area 350 kilometres north of Chibougamau, nestled in the Otish Mountains in Cree territory. Once mining gets underway, the mine is expected to make Quebec the sixth-largest producer of diamonds in the world. The go-ahead comes as Stornoway secured $946 million in funding for its Renard mine earlier this week with Investissement Quebec and the Caisse de depot et placement, Quebec’s largest pension fund manager, both participating in the financing. The province has a 29 per cent investment in the project, which Economic Development Minister Jacques Daoust says will translate into $1 billion in taxes and interest for the province. “It’s a clear signal of the relaunch of the Plan Nord,” Couillard
said Thursday, keeping with an election promise to return the focus to developing northern Quebec. “Like they say in English: Quebec is open for business again.” Plan Nord, an ambitious multibillion-dollar northern development plan, was initially introduced by Quebec’s previous Liberal premier, Jean Charest, in May 2011. The Liberals have criticized the minority Parti Quebecois government for neglecting the plan while it was in power for 18-months before being defeated in last April’s election. It calls for major investment in the province’s north through mining, energy, infrastructure and conservation projects over a 25-year period.
Audit threat sends ‘chill’ to charities THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The Harper government’s “ramp-up of anti-activist rhetoric,” as it’s been called, has drawn criticism in media and academic circles since 2012, but the targets themselves - environmental charities and others - have been muted and self-censored. That’s largely because they’ve been subject to new, highstakes tax audits into their political activities that could strip them of their coveted charitable status. But perhaps for the first time, some of their voices are being heard unfiltered. Gareth Kirkby, a former journalist and now graduate student in communications, interviewed the leaders of 16 such groups for a master’s thesis at Victoria’s Royal Roads University, offering them anonymity in return for candid assessments of their predicaments. Kirkby found evidence for what he called “advocacy chill” among charities who’ve been subject to some of the dozens of political-activity audits being conducted by the Canada Revenue Agency. “The data suggest that the current federal government is corrupting Canada’s democratic processes by treating as political enemies those civilsociety organizations whose contributions to public policy conversations differ from government priorities,” concludes Kirkby’s MA

“There is evidence that three specific charitable sectors are being singled out for CRA attention – environmental, development and human rights, and charities receiving donations from labour unions.” GAreth Kirby
thesis, accepted last month by the university after vetting by academic supervisors. “What is unprecedented is the ... coupling of that rhetoric with action. This action entails specifically politicized use of the associated governmental regulatory body (the Charities Directorate at CRA) to pursue harassing actions seemingly designed to ‘muffle’ and ‘distract.”’ The study found that many organizations have toned down their public communications in the wake of the audits, whether in brochures, on the web, public statements or elsewhere. “There’s definitely more caution going on,” Kirkby said in an interview from his home in Vancouver. “It’s hurting us. It’s not about what this is doing to the charities. It’s about what this is doing to what we need in society, which is vigorous policy debates about important issues that we face.”
The 16 leaders he interviewed represent a broad range of subject areas, from environment and international development, to social services, research and conservation. “Pervading the data is the presence of strong emotions that ... highlight a strong sense of confusion, fear, and vulnerability,” he wrote in the study entitled “An Uncharitable Chill.” “There is evidence that three specific charitable sectors are being singled out for CRA attention - environmental, development and human rights, and charities receiving donations from labour unions.” Kirkby said some organizations are contemplating joint legal action, such as a lawsuit. Many are also paying closer attention to the internal tracking systems that record whenever they engage in political activity, to ensure the 10 per cent limit is respected to the letter.

Addressing global warming is an economic necessity
T
hose who don’t outright deny the existence of humancaused global warming often argue we can’t or shouldn’t do anything about it because it would be too costly. Take Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who recently said, “No matter what they say, no country is going to take actions that are going to deliberately destroy jobs and growth in their country.” But in failing to act on global warming, many leaders are putting jobs and economic prosperity at risk, according to recent studies. It’s suicidal, both economically and literally, to focus on the fossil fuel industry’s limited, shortterm economic benefits at the expense of long-term prosperity, human health and the natural systems, plants and animals that make our well-being and survival possible. Those who refuse to take climate change seriously are subjecting us to enormous economic risks and foregoing the numerous benefits that solutions would bring. The World Bank – hardly a radical organization – is behind one study. While
still viewing the problem and solutions through the lens of outmoded economic thinking, its report demolishes arguments made by the likes of Stephen Harper. “Climate change poses a severe risk to global economic stability,” said World Bank Group president Jim Yong Kim in a news release, adding, “We believe it’s possible to reduce emissions and deliver jobs and economic opportunity, while also cutting healthcare and energy costs.” Risky Business, a report by prominent U.S. Republicans and Democrats, concludes, “The U.S. economy faces significant risks from unmitigated climate change,” especially in coastal regions and agricultural areas. We’re making the same mistake with climate change we made leading to the economic meltdown of 2008, according to Henry Paulson, who served as treasury secretary under George W. Bush and sponsored the U.S. bipartisan report with former hedge fund executive Thomas Steyer and former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg. “But climate

change is a more intractable problem,” he argued in the New York Times. “That means the decisions we’re making today – to continue along a path that’s almost entirely carbon-dependent – are locking us in for longterm consequences that we will not be able to change but only adapt to, at enormous cost.” Both studies recommend carbon pricing as one method to address the climate crisis, with the World Bank arguing for “regulations, taxes, and incentives to stimulate a shift to clean transportation, improved industrial energy efficiency, and more energy efficient buildings and appliances.” Contrast that with Harper and Australian Prime Minister Tony
Abbott’s recent mutual back-patting in Ottawa. Appearing oblivious to the reality of global warming and economic principles, both rejected the idea of a “job-killing carbon tax.” One Risky Business author, former Clinton treasury secretary Robert Rubin, also warned about the economic risks of relying on “stranded assets” – resources that must stay in the ground if we are to avoid dangerous levels of climate change, including much of the bitumen in Canada’s oil sands. In a commentary in Nature, a multidisciplinary group of economists, scientists and other experts called for a moratorium on all oil sands expansion and transportation projects such as pipelines because of what they described in a news release as the “failure to adequately address carbon emissions or the cumulative effect of multiple projects.” They want “Canada and the United States to develop a joint North American road map for energy development that recognizes the true social and environmental costs of infrastructure projects as well as account for
national and international commitments to reduce carbon emissions.” Those who fear or reject change are running out of excuses as humanity runs out of time. Pitting the natural environment against the human-invented economy and placing higher value on the latter is foolish. These reports show it’s time to consign that false dichotomy to the same dustbin as other debunked and discredited rubbish spread by those who profit from sowing doubt and confusion about global warming. “Climate inaction inflicts costs that escalate every day,” World Bank Group vice-president Rachel Kyte said, adding its study “makes the case for actions that save lives, create jobs, grow economies and, at the same time, slow the rate of climate change. We place ourselves and our children at peril if we ignore these opportunities.” If our current leaders can’t comprehend that, let’s find some who can.

New bridge makes sense
Once every four years the citizens of Trail elect their mayor and council. To the best of their ability these elected individuals are charged with the fiduciary responsibility of running the city’s affairs and setting long term goals and policies. The city has professional staff to assist council in the decision making process. Granted some of the decisions are routine in nature and are made after carefully reviewing all relevant information and input from the city’s staff. Other decisions are far more complex and are beyond the expertise of both the council and staff. In these cases professional firms are hired to evaluate the existing conditions and make recommendations. The Old Bridge is a case in point. Council and staff both recognized the limitations of their knowledge on the condition and longevity of the Old
Bridge. Hence professionals familiar with the style and age of the bridge were called in to evaluate and make recommendations on how to proceed. Their opinion was that the Old Bridge has arrived at the point where it was no longer safe. To make it safe a major and very expensive overhaul is required. Based on similar information the Regional District and Fortis explored alternatives to the current location of their lines crossing the Columbia River. Coupled with this council decided to review alternatives, which would be an enhancement for all Trail citizens. Hence the idea of a walking pedestrian bridge. I do not have the required expertise to evaluate the safety nor the longevity of the Qld Bridge. In addition I do not have the expertise to know what to do to make it safe and I cer-
tainly do not know how to come up with the cost. I know my limitation. Like council I therefore leave it to professionals to determine both. Having reviewed some of the available information and believing it is not worth spending funds to prolong the inevitable fate of the Old Bridge I am in favour of adding a pedestrian walkway to the new structure being built across the Columbia River. Both current as well as future generations will benefit from this crossing. I can imagine new walking trails on both sides of the river which tie themselves to a river crossing thereby enhancing the natural beauty of our area. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have one of the most beautiful walking/cycling river paths right here in Trail. Laurie Pettijohn Trail

in the streets and took over, declaring that they were creating revolutionary regimes to save the people from the “fascists” in Kiev. Civilians in the east were sufficiently worried about the intentions of the new government in Kiev that they did not come out in the streets to oppose this armed take-over, but they never came out in large numbers to support it either. This was more evident than ever on Wednesday, when Pavel Gubarev was promising to defend the “whole perimeter” of the city and drown the Ukrainian army in blood. Donetsk has almost two million inhabitants. The crowd at Gubarev’s rally was a couple of thousand at most. Donetsk will not become a new Stalingrad. So, at the risk of tempting fate, a prediction: the fighting in eastern Ukraine will not go on for months more, and there will be no heroic rebel last stand in Donetsk or Luhansk. The Ukrainian army is already encircling both cities, but it will not launch a major assault on them either. It will just keep the pressure up, and the rebel forces will quickly melt away. Western countries will repair their relations with Moscow as fast as possible, since they do not want a new Cold War. But Ukrainians will not forget that Russia seized Crimea and sponsored an armed separatist rebellion in their eastern provinces. President Vladimir Putin has managed to turn Russia’s biggest European neighbour into a permanent enemy. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Eric Holden
Canadian on pace to win round-the-world race THE CANADIAN PRESS In early October, about a month after Eric Holden and his crew set sail from London in a race around the world, the Henri Lloyd found itself following a migratory whale route. Whales, Holden said, were “popping up on all sides and not infrequently dead ahead.” It was during Race 2 of the Clipper Round the World yacht race, and the Henri Lloyd, with its 33-year-old skipper from Vancouver, was headed south from France to Rio de Janeiro. “The crew had an awareness of the potential consequences were we to hit (a whale), which tempered their usual hysterics at seeing any sort of marine mammals,” Holden wrote in his blog that day. It’s now been more than 10 months since Holden and his crew left London, and the Henri Lloyd has an insurmountable lead in the world’s longest ocean race. Holden will arrive victorious Saturday at the London finish line.
The event covers 16 individual races over 64,300 kilometres with an overall winner in a Formula 1-style scoring system. It joins together amateur sailors some who’d never even been on a boat before - with an experienced skipper. Holden is the only Canadian skipper in the race. Over the course of 11 months, it also provides a lifetime of memories. There was sailing out of Rio and past the Copacabana Beach, waking up to the lush green hills of Papua New Guinea, and the warm welcome they received when they sailed into Cape Town, South Africa. There was celebrating a race victory in Sydney, Australia, in midDecember, popping champagne while dressed in antlers and Santa hats. “The greatest part of the experience is seeing the crew develop from amateurs, quite nervous and intimidated by what they’re getting into, to seeing their growth and seeing how confident and competent they now are as
sailors,” Holden said. “I get a lot of pleasure and reward out of that. Leaving Leg 1 from London was my lasting memory just because we didn’t know each other or what we were capable of. . . a large learning curve for all the skippers, as well as the crew.” Holden’s crew includes two nurses, two lawyers, a visual effects artist, an interior designer and a software developer. The youngest member of the crew is 21. The oldest is 74. The Canadians on board are nurse Fiona GarforthBies, heavy duty mechanic James Dick, construction inspector Michael Jauncey, recent college grad Morgen Watson, and finance executive Phil Driver. The race literature warns: “While the crew may be amateur, no one has told the ocean that. The sea does not distinguish between Olympians or novices and if the Southern Ocean, the Pacific or the South Atlantic decides to throw down the gauntlet, the crews need to
be ready to face exactly the same challenges as those experienced by the pro racer.” Holden and the Henri Lloyd had an 18-point lead over second-placed Great Britain when they sailed out of Den Helder, the Netherlands on Thursday for the final leg. The Henri Lloyd has 155.9 points, Great Britain has 138, while OneDLL has 127. The 16th race takes the fleet almost 250 nautical miles to London, where the race will finish in the traditional Parade of Sails up the River Thames. Holden is proud of how well his crew has fared in the extreme conditions they’ve faced, saying they’ve developed a good respect for Mother Nature. They’ve seen everything from 86 knot winds (160 kilometres per hour) and “mountainous seas” in the Southern Ocean, to lightning, thunderstorms and waterspouts in the tropics, to the dead wind in the Doldrums - an equatorial region known for bringing boats to a halt.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Modeling agency founder Eileen Ford, who shaped a generation’s standards of beauty as she built an empire and launched the careers of Candice Bergen, Christie Brinkley Lauren Hutton, Jane Fonda and countless others, has died. She was 92 and died Wednesday of complications from a brain tumour and osteoporosis, according to Arielle Baran, a spokeswoman for Derris & Co., which handles public relations for Ford and announced the death Thursday. Ford was known for her steely manner and eye for talent. She demanded professionalism from her models, putting them on strict diets and firing those with a taste for late-night revelry. Her discipline pushed Ford Model Agency to the top, making multimillionaires of both Ford and her late husband, Jerry, who handled the business side. The typical Ford woman was tall, thin, often blond, with wide-set eyes and a long neck. Eileen Ford was known to tell hopefuls shorter than 5 foot 7 to give up their dreams. Supermodel Christie Brinkley posted a photo of her and Ford on her Instagram account, saying Ford was “the best in the business. She saw something in my and with her brilliant business acumen, her knowledge, experience, and personal touch, she took me from Malibu surfer girl and guided my career.” Another Ford protege, Christy Turlington Burns, said she felt “fortunate to have worked in the industry at a time when legends like Eileen Ford were still reigning. Being a part of the Ford Agency when I began my career was truly special. I will always remember Eileen and her indomitable presence with fondness and gratitude.” Ford’s daughter Katie, who at one time ran the company, said in a statement that her mother’s “greatest thrill was to spot a model in the daily course of life.” She’d then follow the prospect surreptitiously to assess her. A few of those finds went on to fame, including Vendela Kirsebom, whom she discovered in a restaurant in Sweden, and Karen Graham, whom Ford spotted at Bonwit Teller department store and who went on to become the face of Estee Lauder beauty products. The classic Ford look changed remarkably little over the years, and set a standard for the industry. Height and a willowy build remain paramount, but Ford was disdainful of the “waif” look - typified by British model Kate Moss. Ford maintained that a model’s charisma was as important as her looks, and prided herself on being able to detect successful personalities. “There’s a cockiness to them ... They’re just going to be good and you can just tell it,” she told Life magazine in 1970. “I see girls that I know - I absolutely know - will be star models within just a matter of weeks, and they always are.” For high-fashion photography, she said, an ample bust was a disqualifier because the camera adds pounds and curves distract from the picture. “A bosom is terribly detrimental because it cuts you all up in pieces,” she told The New York Times in 1967.

A Nuptial Relationship With Christ Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted. “And I will betroth you to me for ever; I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love, and in mercy. I will betroth you to me in faithfulness” (Hosea 2:19-20). The prophet here tells us that the relationship between the Lord and Israel is a nuptial relationship. Hosea says that God will purify Israel from her unfaithfulness and adultery with other gods, and restore her as a pure spouse, united to him alone in pure nuptial love. God says, “Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her ... And in that day, says the Lord, you will call me, ‘My husband,’ and no longer will you call me, ‘My Baal’” (Hosea 2:14, 16). That is, Israel will call Yahweh her husband, and no longer call on the Baals, the Canaanite gods. St. Paul tells us that we too who believe in Christ have a nuptial relationship with him, just as Israel did with Yahweh. “I feel a divine jealousy for you, for I betrothed you to Christ to present you as a pure bride to her one husband”

(2 Cor. 11:2). Thus the Christian should cultivate a nuptial relationship with Christ, dedicating himself to him alone with all his love, not dividing his love with the delights of the world, so that he may have an undivided heart in his love for him. We are to love him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30) and live for him alone in all we do. Christ “died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised” (2 Cor. 5:15). We are not to live for ourselves, but for Christ. This is a call for all. Married people are to love Christ together, husband and wife as one flesh, one heart, one soul, loving Christ and dedicating their life to him, living a simple life in order not to divide their heart among worldly pleasures. Celibates also are to live this way with an even more radically undivided heart in their love for Christ, not divided even by the love of a Christian spouse. They can literally be married to Christ, the only love of their heart, the only one they are in love with. All their love can go directly and exclusively to Christ

alone without other worldly preoccupations, without any division whatsoever of heart in their love for him. About this, Scripture says, “The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord; but the married man is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman or girl is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please her husband” (1 Cor. 7:32-34). Since all of a celibate’s love can go directly and exclusively to Christ, St. Paul says that celibacy is a higher vocation than marriage. “He who marries his betrothed does well; and he who refrains from marriage will do better” (1 Cor. 7:38). It is good to be reminded of this in these days of crisis in vocations to celibacy, that is, to the priesthood and religious life. © Copyright 2007-2009 Rev.

Pope begs forgiveness of sex abuse victims THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis begged forgiveness Monday in his first meeting with Catholics sexually abused by members of the clergy and went further than any of his predecessors by vowing to hold bishops accountable for their handling of pedophile priests. Abuse victims and their advocates have long demanded that higher-ups be made to answer for the decades-long coverups of rape and molestation of youngsters in a scandal that has rocked the church and dismayed its worldwide flock of 1.2 billion. The pope celebrated a private Mass with six victims – two each from Ireland, Britain and German y– at his Vatican residence, and spent the rest of the morning listening to their accounts, one on one. ``Before God and his people, I express my sorrow for the sins and grave crimes of clerical sexual abuse committed against you. And I humbly ask forgiveness,’’ Francis said. ``I beg your forgiveness, too, for the sins of omission on the part of church leaders who did not respond adequately to reports of abuse made by family members, as well as by abuse victims themselves,’’ the pope said. ``This led to even greater suffering on the part of those who were abused, and it endangered other minors who were at risk.’’ But in speaking of accountability, he made no mention of what countless victims and their families around the globe have waited years to hear: whether bishops and other prelates who shuffled child-molesting priests from parish to parish or didn’t inform police and prosecutors would be fired or demoted. ``All bishops must carry out their pastoral ministry with utmost care in order to help foster the protection of minors, and they will be held accountable,’’ Francis said, delivering his homily in his native Spanish. The survivors were allowed to bring a relative or friend and an interpreter. The U.S.-based victims group SNAP, or the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, reacted skeptically. ``We are glad the pope promises to ‘hold accountable’ Catholic officials who conceal abuse,’’ SNAP Director David Clohessy said in statement. ``But he hasn’t done it yet, not in Rome, nor in Buenos Aires. Saying and doing are different things. The first is easy, the second is hard.’’ Anne Barrett Doyle, a director of another victims advocacy group, BishopAccountability.org, said the pope’s meeting with the three men and three women was still a positive step. ``The pope made a significant and historic promise to discipline bishops who fail to respond adequately to child sexual abuse,’’ she said. One of the six victims, Marie Kane, 43, who was abused by a priest for three years while a teenager in Ireland, said she asked Francis to remove an Irish cardinal, Sean Brady, from his post because of how he handled abuse allegations. Kane told The Irish Times that she told Francis a ``coverup is still happening, and you have the power to make these changes.’’ She quoted him as replying, ``It was difficult to make these changes.’’ Many faithful, especially in the U.S., were outraged when Boston Archbishop Bernard Law, accused of shielding abusive priests during his tenure, was given a prestigious post at a Rome basilica in 2004 by Pope John Paul II instead of being demoted.

Kodiaks off to Futures tournament By Jim Bailey
Times Sports Editor
The West Kootenay Kodiaks U16 Junior B girls fastball team is heading to the Canadian Open Futures fastball tournament at Softball City in Surrey to play against the best teams in the west. The Kodiaks are a tournament team that have been winning games and medals at a variety of tournaments this summer including a bronze medal at the fourth of July Shootout in Spokane last weekend.
“This tournament is a Futures tournament, and supposedly there will be more than 85 universities and colleges that have representation there looking for talent,” said Kodiaks’ coach Bob Johnson who is assisted by his two daughters, pitching-catching coach Emma Johnson and manager Robyn Sofonoff. The team is well represented from players across the West Kootenay including Salmo, Beaver Valley, Montrose, Trail, Castlegar, and Krestova. “I have been coaching ball
now in the Kootenays for a few years, and this is one of the most exciting teams we’ve ever had,” said Johnson who has close to 50 years of coaching experience. The Kodiaks will play in a division of 20 teams from Washington State, B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. The Kodiaks open the tournament with a game against the Langley Xtreme today at 8:30 p.m. and play three games Saturday versus Ridge Meadows Rage 98, Federal Way Lady Knights, and the Vancouver Wildcats 99 team.

FROM PAGE 1 Since then the committee has rallied sponsors, lined up volunteers, recruited grounds crew, found accommodation, and enlisted umpires, and now will put all their preparation and organization to the test as they start with their banquet and coaches meeting tonight, with the first pitch thrown Saturday at 9:30 a.m. “We probably started it in October last year, but there’s only so much we can do through the winter, but just lining up sponsorships and arranging hotels and then this last couple months it’s been all the details now and trying to get all the jobs done, it has been a pretty big task.” The 9-10 team was selected in early June and has had about a month to prepare for the provincials. The team topped off their month of hard work and everyday practice with a third-place finish at the very competitive Firecracker tournament on the weekend in Kalispell, Montana. “We’re as ready as we’re going to be,” said coach Jim Maniago. “It would have been nice to have a little bit more time to fine tune a little bit, because it’s such a short amount of time, but we’ve been going every night so we’re as ready as we’re going to be.” The 12-member team is a well rounded, with talent evenly distributed throughout the lineup. The minor Orioles have a solid core of pitching with a balanced hitting attack, and a dependable defence. “It’s pretty cool, with this team I wouldn’t say we have one guy that is our guy, it seems like every game different kids do different things to help us win, whether someone has a great game pitching or someone gets a couple key hits, we’re pretty balanced that way.” Pitching is key in most baseball games, but in provincial tournaments it becomes even more crucial with pitch counts playing a strategic role in just how long a coach will leave his star thrower in a game. “With the pitching limits, it’s
f r ost y’s liquor store daily 9am - 11pm
different – it’s not like running the Orioles,” said Maniago. “It’s not really baseball, it’s a chess match more than anything, and you really have to plan, and plan your pitchers. No one is going to roll out a guy for the whole game, you just can’t, especially early in the tournament, so depth is huge, and we have more depth than we have had in the last few years.” Players that throw 20 pitches or less can throw the next day, while those that throw between 21 and 35 will have to skip a day, 36-50 pitches require two days rest, 51-65-three days rest, and 66 or more will have to take four days off. Maniago has prepared his team well giving all the players a chance to pitch during the dozen games they’ve played in preparation. “All of our kids have pitched during the season, but we’ve kind of got our seven or eight guys we can throw in there, but like I said, the other guys, if we needed to, I wouldn’t hesitate to put the other guys in.” Trail will be tested mightily in its first match, as they face perennial powerhouse Hastings at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Victoria’s Beacon Hill at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday they play White Rock, Highlands, and Dunbar respectively with all Trail’s games going at 5:30 p.m. at Andy Bilesky Park. The opening ceremonies will go at 1 p.m. on Saturday. “They are all going to be pretty good,” says Maniago. “I don’t know if we’ve played the calibre of teams we’re going to see, but that’s going to be the measuring stick, and our first game is going to be a huge measuring stick, Hastings is typically a favourite coming in. “You don’t get here without being good, so there isn’t going to be an easy game, we’re going to be fighting every game.” Trail Little League can still use volunteers for the week; to lend a hand contact Ketih or Clare at 231-8187 or sign up at traillittleleague.ca.

Azinger chimes in on Tiger’s swing
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTHPORT, England - Paul Azinger said Thursday that a quest by Tiger Woods to make his swing better has backfired on him. Woods has gone through four swing changes with three coaches during his career, each time saying the objective was to get better. In a conference call for ESPN, Azinger said that in his quest to get better, “I think he’s actually gotten a little bit worse.” Azinger is a former PGA champion and Ryder Cup captain - and a partner with Woods in one Ryder Cup - who now works as an analyst for ESPN. He will be in the booth next week at the British Open, where Woods is playing a major for the first time this year because of back surgery. Woods has been stuck on 14 majors since the 2008 U.S. Open. The question on the ESPN call was whether the swing or injuries would be the greater factor if Woods does not catch Jack
Nicklaus and his record 18 majors. “I think one of the big differences that’s very rarely articulated is the fact that while Tiger in his dominance always - for whatever reason - was in this quest to get better, I don’t remember Jack ever saying that,” Azinger said. “Jack might have made some tweaks and twerks here and there ... but Tiger has made astronomical changes in a quest to get better. And as a result, Tiger has actually got a little bit worse. I think we can all pretty much see that.” Azinger said several golfers have made a mistake changing the swing, but that Nicklaus was not one of them. “Jack understood that if he could stay the same, he would still dominate,” he said. “Tiger didn’t need to get better. He just didn’t need to get worse. He needed to stay the same and he could still dominate, and in his quest to get better, it’s kind of backfired on him.”
Hockey
AHL to experiment with rule changes THE CANADIAN PRESS More overtime and fighting changes could be coming to the NHL after a test run in the minors. The American Hockey League will experiment next season with seven-minute overtime in the regular season, with 3-on-3 beginning at the first whistle beyond three minutes, the league announced Thursday. That means there could be as many as four minutes of 3-on-3 overtime. AHL president and CEO David Andrews said his league had roughly 16 per cent of its games go to overtime, and the hope was that these rule changes would reduce that. At the same time, it’s a preview for NHL front offices. “Clearly the hockey folks on our board and our competition committee, which is made up of NHL assistant general managers and AHL general managers, thought that this would be a way to make the over-
time even more compelling and hopefully reduce the number of shootouts,” Andrews said in a phone interview. “They felt that they’d like to see it in the American League.” If successful in reducing shootouts, the rule could make its way to the NHL. The league is implementing two smaller changes next season, with teams switching ends and a the ice getting a dry scrape before OT. The AHL will also do the dry scrape and long line change for regular-season overtimes. “I think our coaches and players and general managers still feel that they would rather see the game settled in something other than a shootout,” Andrews said. “I think this overtime rule that we’re bringing in this year attempts to do that. I think our hockey people believe, and I certainly agree with them, that going to a 3-on-3 is going to become a very entertaining way to try to finish the game for our fans and
should lead to a lot of excitement.” Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland has long been a proponent of overtime changes to cut down on the number of shootouts, presenting different ideas at meetings over the years. Andrews said he and Holland have talked casually about the topic but that he wasn’t directly responsible for these changes. To make up for lost time from the longer overtime sessions - and to align with the NHL - the AHL will also reduce its shootouts from five players aside to three. In another rule change, the AHL will give an automatic game misconduct to a player involved in two fights in a game. Three major penalties of any kind will also lead to a game misconduct. That’s still not close to the international rule where one fight results in ejection, but it’s a step toward reducing fighting.
