PROUDLY SERVING THE COMMUNITIES OF ROSSLAND, WARFIELD, TRAIL, MONTROSE, FRUITVALE & SALMO

Fruitvale sticks with Level 2 water rules

FAMILY FUN AND TASTY TREAT

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Despite a little rain relief last week, Fruitvale remains at Level 2 watering restrictions.

Although rain is welcome for the dry forests, it doesn't necessarily increase our supply for long, says Lila Cresswell, the village's chief administrative officer.

During the summer, Fruitvale services two thirds of the municipality by the Kelly Creek Water Treatment Plant and the other third, by wells.

“We appreciate our residents being diligent with irrigation over the summer,” said Cresswell. “And limiting unnecessary water use wherever possible.”

That said, water restrictions aren't simply about the supply.

“The more water that is used, the more treatment costs, and of course energy costs,” she explained. “So conservation is also about service costs, not only water availability.”

Fruitvale residents are allowed one sprinkler per house on between 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. on designated days.

Underground sprinklers are permitted to run between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. in 20 minute intervals per zone.

Busy weekend on river for local SAR crew

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Hot sun and high water set the stage for local search and rescue over the weekend when crews were called to three separate incidences from Nelson to Trail.

Mike Hudson, manager for South Columbia Search and Rescue (SC SAR) was also covering the position in Nelson for three days when the first call out came Friday afternoon.

A despondent woman was miss-

ing and reported to be in the 6 mile and Kootenay Lake area, said Hudson.

SAR members were not dispatched to ground search as the woman was said to be dangerous and in possession of a weapon, explained Hudson.

Instead, a boat crew was dispatched from Nelson to assist three officers and police dog with locating the female and her companion.

Within a few hours the woman

was located and in the care of BC ambulance and RCMP members.

The second incident happened in Trail later that day, when SC SAR just happened to be driving its rescue truck through the city with boat in tow.

Police flagged down Hudson by the Old Trail Bridge, after receiving a report that a young male had jumped off the bridge.

While calling in swift water crews, Hudson said the sub-

ject appeared from under the structure and climbed onto the bridge rail, attempting to jump.

Fortunately, the young man's sister was able to help him to safety as SC SAR maintained the scene along with the police.

“We were just getting the call out to members when he was getting ready to jump so it shifted gears,” Hudson said. “It all happened really quick.”

Warfield couple set to hit the road for MS

By Liz Bevan Times Staff

Taking it “one kilometre at a time,” a Warfield couple will be riding their bikes nearly 200 km in the hopes of making a difference for people living with multiple sclerosis.

Diane Langman and her husband Jason will be just two of 1,900 bike riders on Alberta's highways this weekend for the annual Johnson MS Bike Tour, making the trip from Leduc, just south of Edmonton, to Camrose.

Connie Stang, a friend and former coworker of the Langman's, has MS, and was the main motivator for their first time on the trip. Now, they are going again.

Langman says, after hearing and seeing the response after her first time in the charity bike ride, it was only natural to hop back on her bike for the good cause.

“We had done the ride two years ago in Connie's name (last year, I was out due to a full ankle rebuild) and it was a very humbling experience,” she said, mentioning that personal accomplishment also factored into the ride.

“Initially, we had signed up as a goal to accomplish just for ourselves, but once we saw the dayto-day struggles of those living with MS, we knew we had to do it again for those people we know.”

Before the time comes to

They raised exactly $1,292.60 – adding to their nearly $2,000 fundraising total.

Standing over a hot grill, sell-

ing burgers was just a warm-up and Langman says there is still more to do. This isn't the first time the couple has participated in the ride, preparing the pair for the amount of training that needs to be done before the main event.

“We have been riding our bikes three to four times a week

and just trying to increase our mileage each time,” explained Langman, adding that the ride isn't about who gets to the finish line first. “It is not a race. It is a ride to raise fund to MS research.

Mentally, you just tackle things one kilometre at a time.”

Although the ride is out in

Alberta, Langman says she sees the impact the geared-up adventure has within her home community of Warfield.

“Since that time, we have had so many people in the community come out and say, 'my husband has MS, thank you for doing the ride,' or, 'My sister has MS,'” she said.

“It's far more common than we ever knew. We know that those who suffer cannot ride, so we will ride for them. It's one small thing that we can do to show our support.”

The Langmans are riding as part of a larger team named Spokes Of Genius along with some family and friends.

“The energy levels during this event are incredible,” she said.

“The team building, the sweat, the drive and determination, the support from complete strangers; it is really an amazing experience.

Yes, it is long distance, but look at how much those people with MS suffer everyday. You don't really feel like you should be complaining about how sore your butt is after seeing their daily struggle.”

The ride starts out from Leduc on the morning of June 13, and ends back in the same spot the next afternoon.

There is still time to add some dollars to the team sponsorship fund ahead of the ride. For donation information, email diane. langman@warfield.ca.

Little snow had local SAR teams as well as those across B.C. called out fewer times over the winter months.

With warm temperatures and dry terrain the provincial trend, SAR calls for water rescue and hikers in trouble are on the incline earlier than usual.

“Calls across the province has pushed up over the last couple of weeks,” said Hudson.

“People are definitely starting to get out there and get themselves in positions where they need help.”

FROM PAGE 1 Multiple officers arrived on location to aid in the subject’s safe removal from the bridge deck and he was attended to by BC ambulance crews and RCMP, Hudson added.

The third call out came in Sunday night at 6 p.m. following reports of a male in distress on the Columbia River near Castlegar.

Hudson said South Columbia responded with a swift water crew and rescue boat. Shortly after, the team stood down after police confirmed people were in the water but no one was in distress.

“The big thing this time of year, especially around the water, is when the water gets high, things tend to change,” explained Hudson.

“Of course, safety means life jackets, not drinking while on the river and using proper techniques and procedures. But there’s areas

tenance, are key in maintaining safety.

“Statistically this part of B.C. as well as most of the province has more calls in one year than the rest of Canada,” said Hudson, noting a steady increase in South Columbia calls since 2012.

“When I first joined, we had maybe eight or 10 calls per year.

Last year we had 22, and every group is reporting the same.”

South Columbia encompasses the area of Trail, Montrose, Fruitvale and Salmo. Through specialized training in swift water rescue, rope rescue, wilderness first aid, tracking, avalanche response and SAR management, through mutual aid crews participate with other West Kootenay SAR groups including Nelson, Rossland, Castlegar and Nakusp.

reports of loud boom

By Will Johnson Nelson Star

Kootenay resident Claire Lecyer-Möbbs reported hearing a “loud rumble boom” that “sounded like thunder” Saturday morning and people from Salmo, Fruitvale, Trail, Rossland, Castlegar and Nelson say they heard it as well.

According to Robert Bailer and Alison Duff, dogs began barking at 6 a.m.

“Heard it in Blewett,” wrote Duff. “Got up to check it out, all the dogs were barking in the hood. Weird.”

Residents on the Farm the Kootenays Facebook page made multiple suggestions as to what the sound might have been.

“I heard that in Rossland! I just assumed it was blasting on the highway,” wrote Betty R. Rekster.

“Reminded me of Mt. St. Helens when I heard it,” wrote Jim Ross.

Brittanie Reid wrote “I heard it was an explosion at Copper Mountain in Princeton,” but the Similkameen Spotlight confirmed there was no such explosion reported there on Saturday.

Both Sheri Ferraro and Ryan Lewis reported feeling their houses shake during the sound. Though some thought it might be an earthquake, Meghan Osborne wrote “I lived in South California all my life … I’ve never heard an earthquake sound like that.”

Blind and autistic B.C. man flies plane to fulfil last goal on bucket list THE CANADIAN PRESS KAMLOOPS, B.C. A 67-year-old British Columbia man who was born blind and autistic has checked off the last item on his bucket list by flying a plane.

Patrick O’Neil has been in care since the age of two, but for the last three years has gone beyond his comfort zone by completing every goal on a growing list.

He has now tackled the last one on that list by flying in, and taking control of, a Cessna 172 at the Tylair Aviation flight

school in Kamloops.

O’Neil says last Thursday’s ride was smooth and he wasn’t afraid of flying the aircraft despite his inability to see.

He started his bucket list after hearing about a similar project from a couple he lives with, who are part of a homesharing program for people with developmental disabilities.

Selina and Kevin Olsen say the walls of O’Neil’s room are covered in photos of his experiences so that he can show others.

“He was shel-

Theresa Hilts (nee Tambellini) Thursday, 4 June 2015 “Terry” was born June 22, 1928 in Fife, BC, and attended high school and business college in Trail. She was employed at Trail City Hall for ten years prior to her marriage to Les in 1959. She was a dedicated parishioner of St. Francis Xavier Church and a member of the Catholic Women’s League and the Sisters of Colombo.

Theresa always enjoyed spending time with family and friends at Trail and Christina Lake and will be remembered for her smile and laugh, her interest in and care for others and her love of games and cooking.

Theresa was predeceased by her husband Leslie, parents Olinto and Giuseppina, and brothers Albert and George.

She is survived by her son, Steven, daughter-in-law Sharon, grandchildren Leah and Neil, niece Bette and nephews David, Robert, Gordon, John and Gary.

Cremation has taken place. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 1:00 pm on Friday, June 12th, 2015 at Holy Trinity Parish with Father Bart van Roijen, Celebrant. Interment will follow on a later date at Evergreen Cemetery in Grand Forks.

Theresa’s family wishes to thank the wonderful staff of Point Grey Private Hospital, and Dr. Peter Grantham, for the exceptional care they provided to her in Vancouver over the past several years.

Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services has been entrusted with the arrangements. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence by visiting the family’s register at www.myalternatives.ca.

In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes will be gratefully accepted in Theresa’s name to the Canadian Cancer Society, www.cancer.ca.

tered most of his life,” Selina Olsen explained.

“He didn’t get to do anything, so, once he started living with us, he started the bucket list and started thinking about all the things he’s never had a chance to do, all the things he’d like to do.”

That list included saving up for his first bike - $1,000 for a tandem he rides with good friend Marlin Brietzke, who accompanied him on the flight along with instructor Tyler Gertzen.

“When he was told to do something, it was slow, nothing fast or erratic, and that plane just followed what he was doing,” Brietzke said.

“It was just beautiful.”

The Centre for Seniors Information in Kamloops has helped O’Neil finish his bucket list, arranging both last week’s flight and a ride in a helicopter two years ago.

Executive director Brenda Prevost says O’Neil was quiet and withdrawn when he first joined the centre about 3 1/2 years ago, which was around the same time he started his list.

“Since then, he’s just changed so much,” she said.

“That’s been a really wonderful thing to watch.”

And even though his bucket list is now complete, O’Neil is showing no signs of shutting down his imagination.

He would still like to take a ride in a limousine, fly in a float plane and take a sunny vacation maybe to Cuba.

Brazilian lawyer wins Presley tribute contest, will perform at Elvis Week THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TUPELO, Miss. - A hip-shakin’ lawyer from Brazil will represent Elvis Presley’s birthplace in an annual contest of Elvis impersonators at Graceland.

Diogo “Di Light” Leichtweis, of Porto Alegre, Brazil, won Saturday’s tribute competition in Tupelo, where thousands of visitors attended the annual Elvis Festival.

“Elvis is huge in Brazil. People love his movies, especially ‘Blue Hawaii,”’ Leichtweis said. “Since I was a kid, my father has been a huge fan.”

Leichtweis told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/1Hj0Yy8) that he visited Graceland in 2006 and has been performing as the King ever since. In 2013, he earned a spot as a top five finalist in Graceland’s Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest.

“I think Elvis was a complete artist,” Leichtweis said. “He had charisma, talent, the voice, the look. He was the greatest entertainer of all time.”

Over the years, Leichtweis said, he’s formed close ties with other young men attempting to

fill in the King’s shoes. They’re a unique group and very supportive of one another, he said.

“By now I probably know most of them,” he said. “It’s like a brotherhood.”

After Sunday’s performance at the festival’s concluding gospel concert, Leichtweis headed out for an Elvis festival in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, before heading back home to Brazil.

“Back home I’m a lawyer, and this is a hobby,” he said. “But I took a break to devote time to this. My father - he is an associate at my firm - loves it. Elvis represents the American dream. He grew up poor, but he had the talent and the strength to make it.”

Leichtweis’ victory marks the second year for an international contestant to represent Tupelo in the Memphis competition. This year’s Tupelo Elvis Festival featured artists from six states and three foreign countries.

Elvis Week is Aug. 8-16 in Memphis, Tennessee.

Presley was born in Tupelo on Jan. 8, 1935, and moved to Memphis with his parents at age 13. He was 42 when he died Aug. 16, 1977, in Memphis.

Provincial

Ferry gambling idea jettisoned as money-loser Plenty of theories behind noise

By Jeff Nagel Black Press

FROM PAGE 3 Kathy Whitney suggested: “Fracking for oil in nearby Idaho or Washington?”

Some were reminded of the 2007 incident in which a low-flying jet woke up citizens and shook houses in Trail, prompting a response from BC Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko.

Michael Guy wrote “For it to have travelled over so many ranges it would’ve needed to originate high up. I think sonic boom from a military jet is the best explanation.”

But Ross took issue with that.

“The sound from Mt. St. Helens traveled all the way here when it happened. Doesn’t have to originate from high up to travel long distances. Mt. St. Helens was heard as far north as Prince George.”

Seismologist Taimi Mulder, who works with the Geographical Survey of Canada, said the noise could have been the result of blasting, road construction or rock quarrying.

None of their instruments registered the event, which means it was “definitely not an earthquake.”

She said the fact the noise traveled such a distance means it traveled through the air.

She noted the communities affected draw a line down the Columbia River, and said it was most likely a sonic boom caused by a military jet or a meteorite passing overheard, which could create shockwaves capable of shaking a house.

Other commenters linked to articles suggesting the event was caused by the Arietids meteor shower, which happens annually between May and July.

“When you hear the noise associated, the rock has to enter through the atmosphere which leaves a trail of light and creates a sonic boom. But it’s harder to see during daylight,” said Mulder.

That might explain why no one reported seeing anything. These showers are reportedly hard to identify with the human eye.

“In my experience the most likely thing here is a military aircraft or a meteorite.

That’s what it’s always been in the past,” said Mulder.

Casino gambling aboard BC Ferries has been ruled out by the provincial government.

The province wanted to test slot machines on Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay ferries as a potential money maker to boost revenue at BC Ferries but a business analysis found it would instead lose $240,000 a year, because of the staffing, equipment and technology costs.

“Ultimately, the costs, risks and procedural changes required to operate [electronic gaming devices] on a BC Ferries vessel outweigh the financial gains,” the BCLC review says.

Extra costs and time for BCLC and the provincial gaming enforcement branch weren’t considered in initial estimates, it says.

The review also red-flagged various

potential security challenges.

“Disputes over game outcomes, thefts, delayed jackpots due to irregularities, children being left unattended if guardians enter the gaming facility during the sailing and other issues” might cause delays for passengers and damage the reputation of BC Ferries and BCLC, it said.

Unlike casinos on land, police couldn’t deal with a problem until the ferry docks.

The Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay run passes through U.S. waters for at least 20 minutes, the review noted.

“There is the potential that a portion of all sales aboard the vessels, including gaming revenue, may need to be shared with Washington State.”

Other issues included lack of a consistent connection to BCLC’s network and the need for ferries staff to adhere to strict BCLC cash-handling

procedures and perform many of the responsibilities of casino employees, from solving technical problems to recognizing problem gamblers.

The review said allowing ferry passengers to gamble at slot machines without the food, drink and entertainment options BCLC requires at casinos would be a break from current policy and might be criticized as a move towards video lottery terminals that are otherwise banned in B.C. The province says planned mid-life upgrades to the Spirit Class ferries will expand the gift shops and relocate the coffee shop to take advantage of available space to raise more revenue.

“While the BC Lottery Corporation’s analysis showed that this idea wouldn’t make money, we’ll remain open to other revenue-generating services,” Transportation Minister Todd Stone said.

Kelowna

Group seeks preventative action on invasive species

THE CANADIAN PRESS KELOWNA, B.C. - An organization responsible for water quality in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley says the provincial government should foot the bill if invasive mussels get a toehold in the region’s watershed.

The Okanagan Basin Water Board criticized the B.C. government of falling short in its response to the threat posed by quagga and zebra mussels.

The invasive species, each about the size of a dime, first showed up in the Great Lakes in the 1980s and are now established as far west in Canada as lake Winnipeg.

“We don’t feel like

it’s right for the local governments to have to clean up the mess after the mussels get introduced - should they get introduced,” said Anna Warwick Sears, the board’s executive director.

“Not to sound grouchy, but it’s getting a little desperate over here.”

Besides destroying native ecosystems and ruining beaches with their sharp shells, mussels also plug up in-water equipment such as dams and pipes.

Repairing the damage is costly - as much as $91 million a year in Ontario, read estimates from that province’s government.

A similar study done for the Okanagan

Basin Water Board, which is funded primarily by local governments, pegs the cost of dealing with an invasion at about $40 million annually.

B.C. announced in March it would commit $1.3 million over two years to train and equip three roving inspection teams, which began operating in late May. By contrast, the Alberta government has 10 roadside inspection stations, plus four roving teams, and as of July will also have specially trained musselsniffing dogs on the job.

“We’re hitting it hard in Alberta,” said Cindy Sawchuk, who leads that province’s inspection programs.

The B.C. Environment Ministry’s aquatic invasive species coordinator said he’s aware of the board’s position, but said the system in place, which relies on help from neighbouring jurisdictions, is working.

Matthias Herborg said his inspectors were called to decontaminate two boats last week: one from Lake Mead in Nevada that was en route to Kelowna and another from Lake Winnipeg that was headed to Penticton.

UBC to get $1 million donation to research pot’s effect on HIV THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A company vying for a licence to produce and sell medical marijuana has pledged $1 million to a University of British Columbia researcher studying pot’s potential for treating HIV-AIDS. National Green Biomed Ltd. was founded by a group including former Liberal MP Herb Dhaliwal and private investment banker David Sidoo, who is also a member of the UBC Board of Governors.

“Because cannabis has been seen primarily as a recreational drug, its medicinal implications have been much overlooked in formal research cir-

cles,” Dhaliwal said Monday in a statement.

University of B.C. assistant professor of medicine M.J. Milloy said National Green has so far donated $200,000 toward his work, with a promise to contribute the rest of the money within five years.

The infectious disease epidemiologist was the lead investigator of an ongoing observational study that looked at the cases of 88 people infected with HIV and living in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

Milloy said their medical records suggested that people who smoked the most marijuana had significantly less of the virus in

their blood compared to those who smoked less pot or none at all.

Milloy said the donation may be used to conduct a clinical trial to draw more firm

conclusions than those available through the limited study published in Drug and Alcohol Review in March.

A study on monkeys at Louisiana State

University showed similar results, Milloy said.

“That’s what I think is the exciting thing about science, that we’re beginning to see the same thing.”

Statistics Canada reports that real gross domestic product (GDP) fell at a 0.6 per cent annualized rate in the first three months of the year, considerably worse than even pessimistic forecasters were expecting. It is clear that the slump in global oil prices is taking a measurable toll on Canada’s energy-centric economy.

Non-residential investment plunged by 15 per cent in January, February and March, led by sharp cuts in capital-spending by the oil and gas industry.In recent years, the energy sector has accounted for more than one-third of all non-residential investment, as well as for roughly one-quarter of Canada’s merchandise exports.

So the downturn in oil and natural gas markets is dampening overall pri-

vate sector capital outlays and weighing heavily on Canada’s export receipts.

Harsh winter weather also played a role in the gloomy first-quarter report. Consumer spending came in below expectations, as many Canadians apparently decided to stay indoors.

Economists define a “recession” as two consecutive quarters of declining real GDP. We are half way there, and some recent economic data signal further softness in April, May and June.

The U.S. economy has also disappointed: Real GDP contracted by 0.7 per cent in the first quarter (bad winter weather and a West Coast port strike contributed to this outcome), and the growth rate for the last quarter of 2014 was revised down.

Most forecasters are reasonably positive about the U.S.’s economic prospects over the balance of this year, but the surprisingly

downbeat first-quarter data does not inspire confidence.

The oil price collapse has by no means run its course, with Canadian producers likely to announce more largescale spending cuts and layoffs in the coming months. Ongoing pain in the energy sector will hurt many other industries, as well as the large numbers of Canadian households that have come to depend, directly or indirectly, on a robust oil and gas industry.

The Canadian labour market has also clearly lost steam, buffeted by job losses in eight of the last 17 months. Employment growth is running at less than 1 per cent on an annual basis, well behind the U.S. Finally, Canada has seen a significant deterioration in its trade and current account deficits amid plummeting oil prices and soggy markets for other commodities, like natural gas, coal and base metals.

The current account deficit widened dramatically in the first quarter, reaching a near-record level reaching almost $18 billion.

And the merchandise trade deficit for the month of April was the second biggest on record.

It is unclear to what extent stronger growth in non-energy exports – including service exports but also manufacturing, forestry and agri-food

products – will offset the weakness stemming from depressed oil and natural gas markets.

The Bank of Canada and private sector forecasters have been calling for a revival of non-energy exports, but achieving this depends on solid and sustained economic momentum in the U.S. At this point, Canada looks to be headed for a year of very tepid growth in its gross domestic product, well below 2 per cent and possibly dipping to 1 per cent.

I do not expect a second quarter of shrinking economic output in the second quarter (which would result in a “technical” recession), but such a scenario cannot be ruled out, given the dismal first quarter numbers and the continuing struggles in the energy sector.

Jock Finlayson is Executive Vice-President of the Business Council of British Columbia.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Melissa McCarthy notched her first No. 1 box-office debut as a leading lady with the $30 million opening of the espionage comedy “Spy,” leaving the guys of “Entourage” in the dust.

The result added to the string of success of McCarthy and writer-director Paul Feig, who first united on the 2011 hit “Bridesmaids.” While “Spy” fell short of the $39.1 million debut of their 2013 comedy “The Heat,” with Sandra Bullock, and came in a tad lower than some predicted, it was good enough to win a weekend lacking blockbuster punch but crowded with action, horror and the resurrected HBO series.

“It sets the table for a fantastic long run,” said Chris Aronson, head of distribution for 20th Century Fox. The R-rated, action-heavy “Spy,” made for about $65 million, will depend on word-ofmouth and generally glowing reviews to propel it further in the coming weeks. The film, in which McCarthy plays a desk-bound CIA officer sent into a James Bond-like European caper, has already made $56.5 million overseas.

Last week’s top film, “San Andreas,” the disaster movie starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, slid to second place with $26.4 million.

“Insidious: Chapter 3” opened with an estimated $23 million, a strong debut for the low-budget horror prequel.

But HBO’s “Entourage,” made for about $30 million, failed to compete with those releases.

The film, released about four years after the series concluded, made $10.4 million over the weekend and has brought in a five-day total of $17.8 million since opening Wednesday.

Electric cars still not ready for prime time

of the specific desires of time and place that only markets can discover. They claim to understand that, yet the technology mandates (often dressed up as “performance standards”) just keep on coming. Second, the technology to produce an all-electric vehicle that rivals the performance and price of regular internal combustion engines did not exist in 1995, nor in 2005, and it still doesn’t exist in 2015.

Third, it’s just as unfair now, in 2015, to rob poor Peter to subsidize rich Leo’s purchase of a wealthy guy’s toy.

How can anyone justify the U.S. federal government, for example, giving someone $7,500 in tax credits to buy a $70,000 (plus) Tesla hotrod?

How does California justify dumping in another $2,500 subsidy, and then privilege these cars to ride on HOV lanes as single-occupant vehicles?

How do you justify forcing condominium associations to install EV charging stations at the whim of one EV owner, when costs are going to be shared by others?

And that’s only a small slice of the handouts bragged about on the Tesla Motors website.

Some will claim an environmental rationale, but that’s silly: the economics make it impossible to deploy them at a scale that would significantly reduce either conventional air pollutants or greenhouse gases, and that’s assuming you had the wind and solar power online to charge them.

Ten per cent EV mandates and million-car EV mandates are just as silly now as they have been for 20 years. It’s time, again, to pull the plug on EV mandates, subsidies, and fleet acquisition targets. Let them compete in the luxury market as other luxury car makers must.

PM’s indifference on TRC speaks volumes An editorial from the Toronto Star Back in 2008 Prime Minister Stephen Harper apologized to Canada’s aboriginal peoples for Ottawa’s role in trying to “kill the Indian in the child” by removing 150,000 children to residential schools where cultural assimilation was the goal and 6,000 perished. He called it a “great harm” and vowed his support for communities that are struggling to this day to recover.

“We are now joining you on this journey,” he pledged.

Yet when the Truth and Reconciliation Commission issued its report this week calling for a bold new era in Crown/ native relations, Harper mustered little more than an indifferent shrug. He took credit in

Parliament for setting up the commission. And he defended his government’s record, saying “vast amounts of money” have been earmarked for jobs, schooling, and health.

But he didn’t say a word at the commission’s closing ceremony. And apart from throwing a token $1 million to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation to help house its records, he didn’t endorse any of the commission’s 94 recommendations.

This was a missed opportunity to showcase Ottawa’s willingness to invest more than lip service in the new, healthier relationship the commission called for with the country’s 1.4 million indigenous people.

Canadians expect better of their leadership.

Recently Harper has cheerfully announced $600 million for Canada’s spy service, the RCMP and border services, much of it linked to concerns over terror. Would it have been too much to expect him to mark the commission report by announcing generous support for pressing practical needs such as promoting aboriginal culture and languages?

Creating jobs? Improving schooling, housing and health?

Or reducing the number of children in care? Many native communities are in dire need of such help.

Far from joining Canada’s indigenous peoples on a path to a better place, the Conservatives seem content to stand by the wayside, wishing them good luck.

G7 puts Canada on the spot Calls for low emissions in energy sector

Get a sneak peek at

kebeandfast.com

THE CANADIAN PRESS SCHLOSS ELMAU, Germany - Canada’s energy sector will have to transform itself to lower greenhouse gas emissions in the long term, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Monday.

He was commenting at the end of the G7 leaders’ summit which called on its members to put their energy sectors on a low-carbon footing by 2050, a move with serious implications for Canada’s greenhousegas-emitting oilsands.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel fell short of her goal of pushing her fellow leaders

to a broad, iron-clad commitment to a lowcarbon economy by 2050. Instead, the G7 agreed to a full-blown no-carbon economy, but not until 2100.

“We commit to doing our part to achieve a low-carbon global economy in the long-term, including developing and deploying innovative technologies striving for a transformation of the energy sectors by 2050 and invite all countries to join us in this endeavour,” the leaders said in their final communique.

“To this end we also commit to develop long-term, national low-carbon strategies.”

Asked what this means for Canada’s energy sector, Harper said:

“Nobody’s going to start to shut down their industries or turn off the lights. We simply got to find a way to create lower-carbon emitting sources of energy.”

Harper took part the G7 leaders’ shortened talks on climate change as the summit entered its final day.

“All leaders understand that to achieve these kinds of milestones over the decades to come will require serious technological transformation,” Harper said.

The Canadian Press has been told by sources who saw the working draft of the G7’s climate-change communique that Canada and Japan worked behind the scenes to water down the statement.

Merkel placed the fight against climate change at the heart of her sweeping agenda.

She wanted the G7 summit to give France momentum when it hosts the United Nations climate change conference this December, which aims to reach a breakthrough agreement in the fight to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Merkel had been pushing the G7 to endorse a pledge to reach zero carbon emissions, but Canada and Japan were holdouts.

“Canada and Japan are the most concerned about this one,” said one source who was privy to discussions but would only speak on the condition

of anonymity.

“The two of those countries have been the most difficult on every issue on climate.

They don’t want any types of targets in there, so I think they are trying to make it as vague as possible at this point.”

Harper and Merkel spoke together on Sunday, but the prime minister’s office said they did not discuss climate change.

“It’s shocking that Mr. Harper didn’t even bother to bring up climate change as an issue for discussion during his bilateral meeting with Chancellor Merkel,” said New Democrat foreign affairs critic Paul Dewar.

He said Harper is out of touch and sidelining Canada internationally.

Liberal environment critic John McKay said the prime minister “has embarrassed Canada on the world stage.”

“Other G7 countries have very clearly identified strong and immediate actions to tackle climate change,” McKay said in a statement. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, Mr. Harper is fixated on ensuring that he obstructs all progress nationally or internationally.”

Harper’s office said in a statement that today’s French-led climate talks focused on the “collective response to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the advancement of energy security in the face of escalating threats.”

It said the G7 leaders

chose to devote a portion of the climate session to a discussion of global security threats posed by Boko Haram militants in Nigeria and the ongoing fight against Islamic militants in Iraq and Syria.

Harper’s only bilateral meeting on Monday was with newly elected Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.

A senior Canadian government official, speaking on the condition on anonymity, said Canada endorses a statement by the G7 that would support the December climate change talks in France.

“We support agreement in Paris that includes all GHG emitting countries,” the official said, noting that in 2013 Canada’s emissions were 3.1 per cent below 2005 levels.

While Canada’s emissions did drop below 2005 levels during the 200809 global recession, Environment Canada data shows they have been on a slow, steady increase for four years in a row up to 2013.

“We believe we have a fair and ambitious reduction target that is in line with other major industrialized economies\,” the Canadian official said.

Other groups disagree.

“It’s pretty clear that Canada and Japan are in a different place than the rest of the G7 on the issue of climate change,” said Jennifer Morgan, director of the global climate program at the Washington, D.C.-based World Resources Institute.

Stingrays shine in season debut

BY TIMES STAFF The Greater Trail Stingrays opened their competitive swim season with some sparkling results in the Trail Aquatic Centre on the weekend.

The club hosted seven teams for a hectic weekend full of great results in their home pool.

“We had a fantastic first meet,” said coach Samme Beatson. “We posted 76 personal-best times.”

On top of some personal achievements, several swimmers flirted with meet records including Sharman Thomas who beat the 100m butterfly meet record by two seconds and the 100m backstroke meet record by three seconds in the Open category.

Diego Greenwood was a fraction of the second off the meet record in the 100m backstroke for his age group.

Other notable performances saw Katie Mountain swim 28 seconds faster than last year in the 50m backstroke, and 17 seconds faster in the 50m freestyle.

Not to be outdone on a weekend of personal bests, Olivia Bruce swam 28 seconds faster than her best time in the 100m freestyle, and Juliana Zhou swam 20 seconds faster in her 100m freestyle race as well.

Meanwhile Kiri Steven shaved 18 seconds off her 50m freestyle event and completed a perfect swim in the 50m breaststroke.

Six Stingrays notched aggregate awards during the meet.

Maddy Fraser and Paige Marrandino tied for second place in Division 2 girls. Juliana Zhou placed third in Division 4 girls.

Greenwood tied for first place with a swimmer from the Grand Forks Swim Club. Logan Blair placed second in Division 6 boys.

Thomas, a TRAX swimmer who registered with the Stingrays for the swim meet placed first in the second Open category.

Trail bounces back for weekend split

LIZ BEVAN PHOTO

There were plenty of photo finishes in a hectic weekend at the Trail Aquatic Centre. Eight teams took part in the Greater Trail Stingrays annual swim meet on Saturday and Sunday.

Association-sanctioned meets is a division for swimmers who compete on a different team (a Swim BC team) year round and so may have more training hours than the sum-

mer swimmers.

The Stingrays coach also had special praise for Avery Zanussi, Ryder Tymchyshyn, Alex Mountain, and Scarlet Guy on their first swim meet.

BY TIMES STAFF After a rough start to the weekend, the Trail AM Ford Orioles rebounded with two wins on Sunday to split a four-game set with the Kelowna Jays in Pacific International League play at Butler Park.

Trail dropped 6-5 and 9-3 decisions in Saturday’s doubleheader but bounced back to blank the Jays 2-0 to start Sunday then wrapped things up with an 8-3 win.

“Our pitching on the whole was good, defense was good except for the one inning the first game,” said Orioles manager Jim Maniago.

“Our hitting has been up and down but the ups have produced more runs this year than we’ve scored in a long time.”

That was evident when the Orioles gained the weekend split thanks to a third-inning explosion that yielded eight runs in Sunday’s finale.

Trail was down 3-0 heading into the bottom of the third when the team scored eight runs with two outs.

Joel Graf was the first Oriole and the last Oriole to get on base that inning. In between, the team managed three more hits, two walks, a hit-by-pitch and an error to send eight runners home.

That was all the offence the team needed the rest of the way.

Chris Kissock started and Darrin Kissock came on in relief to pick up the win on the mound.

Cam Ferguson went 2-for-3 with two RBIs to lead the way.

Chris Kissock threw a one-hit shutout as the Orioles chalked up their first win of the weekend on Sunday morning.

Jake Lucchini went 2-for2 and drove in Davidson with the eventual winning run in the bottom of the fifth. Lucchini scored the

team’s second run that inning on Dallas Calvin’s double.

Kissock struck out nine and carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning before giving up a single. Catcher Kyle Mace negated that hit when he threw out the runner attempting to steal second.

Kelowna swept Saturday’s doubleheader by closing the day with a 9-3 win.

The Jays built up an 8-0 lead by the top of the fourth before the Orioles got on the board with two in the bottom of the inning.

Calvin went 2-for-4 as the Orioles offence managed just six hits while Scott Davidson took the loss on the mound.

The Jays started the weekend trip to Trail by holding off the Orioles 6-5 in the opening game.

Trail took a 3-1 lead after three innings on singles

by Maniago, Calvin and Kissock coupled with some erratic Jays pitching.

But Kelowna answered with three of their own in the top of the fifth then added two more in the top of the seventh to hold a 6-4 lead.

In the bottom of the seventh, Davidson and Chris Florko were on base when Darrin Kissock’s two-out single drove in Davidson and moved Florko into scoring position.

But the rally fell short with a strikeout to end the game.

Darrin Kissock went 2-for-3 with three RBIs. The weekend left the Orioles 4-4 on the season.

Their next league action comes June 20 and 21 when the Northwest Honkers come to Trail.

In between, the Orioles join a pair of American Legion teams, including the double-A Orioles, for the Trail Invitational Wood Bat Tournament this weekend.

Sports Mixed curling and big air snowboard approved for 2018 Winter Olympics Committee executive board.

The snowboard parallel slalom event, meanwhile, was dropped from the Olympic program to make room for Big Air. Under IOC rules, events and disciplines can be added or removed up until three years before the games.

The IOC has been determined to attract younger audiences, as evidenced by the addition of halfpipe and slopestyle events

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS L A U S A N N E , Switzerland - The IOC approved new events Monday in snowboarding, Alpine skiing, speedskating and curling for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Big Air in snowboarding, mass start in speedskating, mixed doubles in curling, and a team skiing event were the additions ratified Monday by the International Olympic

at recent Winter Olympics.

“The changes reflect the continued evolution of the Winter Olympic program and build on the success of recent editions of the games,” the IOC said in a statement.

The IOC recommends the participation of about 2,900 athletes competing in 100 events for the Winter Games.

The Pyeongchang organizing committee said it “respects” the IOC decision, which will add four more gold medal events to the games for a total of 102.

The IOC said decisions on which new events to accept for 2018 were based on a number of factors, including youth appeal, TV and media interest, gender equality and “infrastructure and operational cost and complexity.”

The IOC said the new program will ensure a record number of female events, mixed events and female athletes.

It looks like snowboard’s Big Air will be the latest step in the goal to appeal to youth.

In Big Air events, boarders fly off a highly pitched ramp similar to those on the slopestyle course, and perform jumps with multiple flips and spins. They do as many jumps as possible in an allotted amount of time.

Curling has had two events, separate men’s and women’s competitions, since returning to the Olympics in 1998.

While traditional curling involves teams of four players, mixed doubles would include teams of two players - one male and one female. Teams would have six stones each, instead of eight.

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - If you think the Stanley Cup final is war, try the Canadian TV upfronts.

Rogers, Shaw and Bell each hosted press previews of their 2015-16 lineups this week in Toronto. CBC held their new season showcase last week. The media companies wine and dine advertisers in hopes they’ll sell them commercial time “upfront” of the new seasons.

Media companies are hustling to stay one step ahead of the digital revolution. Still, the old fashioned Canadian TV game of importing and simulcasting American content - as well as producing the occasional Canadian show - goes on as usual.

The competition for content - and bragging rights - remains fierce. This was most evident in duelling releases sent out this week by Bell and Rogers, with both claiming to own the nation’s No. 1 sports brands.

Bell says the ratings back their claim that more Canadians watch TSN than Sportsnet.

Rogers says if you add up all the viewing on the multiple Sportsnet and TSN channels, they drew the lion’s share.

Beyond the trash talk, some significant programming moves were announced this week.

Sunday remains a big battleground. Last season, Rogers thought a third night of NHL action would help them bodycheck their way into the competitive mix. Instead, early games left holes on City’s Vancouver schedule. NFL football on CTV and TSN was often outdrawing “Hometown Hockey” on City. Rogers found viewers who got their NHL fix on Fridays and Saturdays were not about to abandon “The Walking Dead,” “Game of Thrones,” “Downton Abbey” and Netflix fare on Sundays.

Rogers programming vice-president Hayden Mindell leapt at a proven content fix. He picked up two animated Fox comedies that Global had more or less discarded - “Family Guy” and “Bob’s Burgers” - and plugged them into his Sunday schedule. He paired them with the Winnipegbased Canadian sketch comedy “Sunnyside” and a comedy no one in Canada bought when it premiered in the U.S. this past winter: “The Last Man on Earth.”

Mindell’s challenge will be to exploit the hot property Rogers stumbled onto last season, Fox’s No. 1 hit “Empire.”

TV LISTINGS

Not much new in MONday & Movies Canadian content MONDAY EVENING

FROM PAGE 13 Rogers also managed to hold onto “The Mindy Project,” a cult comedy that migrated to the digital platform Hulu in the U.S. They also got back into the late night game with “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” which they’ll simulcast in Toronto and other markets starting this September.

Among the 13 shows Shaw’s Global added to its 2015-16 schedule are several new hour-long dramas, including a TV-version of “Minority Report,” the reboot “Heroes Reborn” and the new “Supergirl” series, a CBS pickup aimed at bringing younger viewers to the network.

While Rogers and Shaw have ripped apart schedules and entire nights, Bell added just four new shows to top-rated CTV: hour-long dramas “Blindspot,” “Code Black,” “Blood & Oil” and the elite FBI action hour “Quantico.” King feels serialsslash-procedurals are the new broadcast network norm.

The private networks play down the shocking lack of new Canadian content at these upfronts.

CTV, Global and Rogers have no new homegrown shows this fall. CTV also quietly announced Thursday that they were cancelling “Degrassi: The Next Generation,” which aired on MTV, after 14 seasons.

Viewers will have to wait until the New Year for fresh Cancon to kick in.

Global has “The Code” with Jason Priestley starring as a former pro hockey enforcer turned crime-solving P.I. “Houdini and Doyle” is a new historical drama helmed by “House” creator David Shore. At Rogers, the foreign language series “Blood & Water” will be - after 36 years - OMNI’s first-ever scripted procedural drama.

A few of the new U.S. network imports will be shot in Canada, including CTV pickups “Quantico” (Montreal), Global’s “Heroes Reborn” (Toronto) and CTV’s mid-season imports “Lucifer” and “The Flash” spin-off “D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow”(Vancouver).

baby shower, so you are off the hook for that. Many women opt not to have second baby showers, because they already were provided with plenty of nice things that can be handed down to a second child. With twins, however, the need is greater, so a second shower is understandable. But it

should not overburden people who gave generously the first time. Guests should include only close family, very close friends and those who were not invited to the first baby shower. If you choose to attend a second shower, you might consider a token gift rather than a pricey item.

2015 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Dear Annie: Graduation is coming up, and I don’t know what to do. You see, most of the seniors aren’t qualified to graduate at all.

Some of them have been truant for half of the years they were here. At least 15 seniors were absent from class for their entire senior year, and at least 20 percent lack grade-level reading and writing skills.

For some, college will be impossible.

Every year, we have “alumni” who return to school because they either graduated without necessary credentials or flunked out of college and need academic help. I never give passing grades to kids who don’t show up to class, but if they perform some token service, the school graduates them anyway.

Should I go to this year’s graduation ceremony? I haven’t gone in two years, and when asked, I say why.

Sometimes I worry that I appear unkind, because this is a low-income, troubled neighborhood and high school graduation means a lot to these families. I just don’t like what I see as a

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Wednesday, June 10, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Unexpected events continue to cause your daily routine to change. Likewise, you continue to meet new people and encounter fresh, unusual situations.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Once again, you’re full of new moneymaking ideas.

This could be because something unusual now affects your cash flow and earnings. Fortunately, you are the financial wizard of the zodiac.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) These are exciting times!

Yesterday was full of surprises, and so is today. At least you are not bored, which is a good thing, because Gemini does not do boring.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Unexpected events and situations that are behind the scenes continue to catch

Tuesday, June 9, 2015 Trail Times

you off guard. Do whatever you can to grasp what is going on so that you can stay grounded.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Unusual and unexpected situations continue to impact your world through others. For some, this is due to a friend; for others, it comes through their association with a group.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Once again you are surprised (like yesterday) in your dealings with authority figures. Someone might ask you to do something unusual. Some of you might quit or refuse to comply.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Unexpected opportunities to travel continue to swirl around you. Likewise, you might make advancements in medicine, the law and higher education.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Like yesterday, you are

surprised by events that impact shared property, taxes and debt. Something unexpected will catch you off guard. Don’t act hastily.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A friend or partner might surprise you today. If this happens, guard against knee-jerk reactions, which are easy to have. Think before you speak or act.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

More surprises that are job-related are at hand today. Just cope as best you can. Think things through.

Don’t shoot from the hip, because you are disoriented.

Be cool.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Surprise invitations to social events might occur today. Upsets in sports results also might happen.

Parents need to be vigilant about their kids and know

where they are at all times.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Something unusual is going on at home or with a family member now, which requires you to be as sensible and grounded as possible. Be a voice of sanity amidst all this change.

YOU BORN TODAY You are brave, daring and capable. You can do things others cannot. The mysteries and secrets of life fascinate
